            "input": "By Marianna SpringSpecialist disinformation reporter, BBC News The adverts show the Democratic Party challenger with an earpiece, and say that he refused to have his ears checked for devices prior to the debate. The Biden campaign rejected the claims. The Trump campaign adverts ask: \"Why won't Sleepy Joe commit to an ear test?\" and \"Who is in Joe's ear?\" Accusations that presidential candidates have received debate help via hidden hearing devices are familiar, albeit unproven. Such allegations have been levelled against both Republican and Democratic candidates in the past. Prior to Tuesday's debate, the rumour about Mr Biden's supposed earpiece was circulating on several social networks, and was being promoted by the Trump campaign. At least 15 versions The advertising campaign was launched after the debate, and also promotes two other baseless but widely shared rumours about Mr Biden. One suggested he asked for breaks during the debate, and another accused him of refusing a \"drug test\". The photo featured in the advert is not from Tuesday's debate. It was first shared online in September 2019. In a number of the adverts, it has been doctored to show Mr Biden wearing wireless Apple headphones. This was not the case in the original image. Some versions circle the ear featuring the headphone. By Wednesday evening, there were at least 15 different versions of the advert, and according to Facebook's Ad Library, they had reached at least 10 million users. Facebook has pledged to label posts containing voting misinformation and point users towards accurate information ahead of the election. However its policy does not involve fact-checking political speech, including in advertisements. The company declined to comment about the latest Trump ad campaign. Rumour origins Hours before the debate, the claims went viral on Facebook and YouTube. Identical memes were pushed by a number of popular Facebook pages with names such as US Conservative and Unhinged Left. They claimed \"Joe Biden should be inspected for a hidden earpiece as well as submit to a drug test before the debate\". These memes are subject to fact-checks - and some have had warning labels applied to them on Facebook. The claims were picked up by Fox News and other conservative news outlets. They were further amplified by supporters of QAnon, an unfounded a conspiracy theory that claims President Trump is fighting a secret war against elite Satan-worshipping paedophiles. Those who believe in QAnon are known for promoting political disinformation on social media which targets opponents of the president. They shared close-up pictures of Mr Biden's ears, alleging a listening device was visible. During the debate, some also shared photos of a fold in Mr Biden's shirt, claiming it was caused by a wire, and of a supposed device on his wrist, where he wears a rosary in memory of his late son Beau. Nothing new Conspiracy theories about secret listening devices have been recycled in presidential election campaigns for the past two decades. Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton faced similar unfounded claims ahead of the 2016 presidential election. In 2004, rumours circulated among left-wing sites and blogs that President George W Bush was being aided by a secret earpiece. None of those allegations were found to be true. Even if a candidate did wear an earpiece, any advantage would be questionable. As TV and radio presenters can attest, listening to someone while simultaneously talking during the back-and-forth of a live event is a difficult skill to master.",

            "input": "Vivergo Fuels said there was \"no guarantee\" production would recommence at the Hull facility. It said losses had risen due to government delays in making oil companies use 10% bioethanol in petrol. The Department for Transport said it was \"on track\" to double the biofuels supply by 2020. Bioethanol is a renewable transport fuel which is blended with petrol to cut carbon emissions. It is made from organic matter including sugar, maize or, in the case of Vivergo, wheat. Vivergo's managing director, Mark Chesworth, told the BBC's Today programme that thousands of people could be affected by the stoppage: \"For 150 skilled workers on the banks of the Humber and the 3,000 people we support across the supply chain, many of them UK farmers, it's a very worrying time for the business.\" Petrol sold in the UK contains about 5% bioethanol, which Vivergo says results in carbon emissions savings equivalent to taking 180,000 cars off the road. Vivergo has called on the government to increase the amount of bioethanol in petrol to 10% by introducing a fuel called E10. The company - part of Associated British Foods - said that would mean emissions savings equivalent to taking 700,000 cars off the road. It said it had invested heavily in its Hull plant in the expectation ministers would introduce new rules forcing oil companies to increase the percentage of bioethanol in petrol. However, it said the delay in imposing that rule had meant that Vivergo's losses had increased, meaning it made \"more sense\" to stop production. Mr Chesworth said there had been too much political instability to bring the new rules in: \"There's been a series of delays in progressing that policy. Two general elections in the last two years, the EU referendum, four transport secretaries in the last four years - none of that helps to progress the policy.\" The company plans to carry out annual maintenance during the shutdown to \"maintain employment levels\". Vivergo employs 150 people, split between its plant in Hull and head office in Hessle, East Yorkshire. 'On track' In September, the Department for Transport said it would increase the use of renewable fuels in petrol and diesels from 4.75% to 9.75% by 2020 - known as the Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation. \"This will double the use of renewable fuels, reduce our reliance on imported fossil diesel, and deliver emissions savings equal to taking another one million cars off the road,\" it said. \"We are working closely with the industry and motoring groups to consider the issues around a potential introduction of E10 and the role government can play in this.\" Vivergo said it had welcomed the government's proposals to increase the use of renewable fuels, but \"remained concerned that there is no roll-out framework for E10 in the UK, the absence of which could have serious consequences for the long-term future of the UK bioethanol industry\". Mr Chesworth added: \"If the government does not increase the blend level to 9.75% and actively support the introduction of E10, the industry will be left in an unsustainable situation with excess capacity and there are likely to be casualties. \"I am not predicting that we will be one of them but with an unclear restart date, it is clearly concerning for all involved with Vivergo Fuels.\"",

            "input": "Rory Cellan-JonesTechnology correspondent@BBCRoryCJon Twitter On the Tech Tent podcast this week, we look at the fallout from the cancellation of Mobile World Congress - and ask whether social media has played a positive or negative role in helping people understand the threat posed by the virus. We've been in California this week - the podcast was recorded from the studios of KQED in San Francisco - and we've watched as the tech industry here has tried to get to grips with the threat posed by the coronavirus. At the beginning of the week, while major players like Ericsson and LG had pulled out of MWC, the general mood seemed to be that the show would go ahead. We took a trip across the Bay Bridge to Berkeley in search of some expertise. Fear spreads faster than infection There we found Dr Lee Riley, professor of infectious diseases and vaccinology at the University of California - a man who has spent his career studying epidemics, including a spell at the World Health Organization. He was surprisingly sanguine about the coronavirus, pointing out that common-or-garden influenza was far more deadly, though he said he understood that uncertainty about the nature of the disease was bound to make people fearful. But he said a 24/7 news culture and the rise of social media made that fear spread faster than the virus itself - especially as the coronavirus was being diagnosed far more rapidly than Sars was 20 years ago. \"They do the diagnosis, and then we hear about the news of the diagnosis right away throughout the world instantaneously. They're constantly getting updates on this... and I think that feeds into some of the anxiety that people have.\" Social media was giving people partial information, but not all the facts, and that magnified their concerns. He seemed surprised when we told him there was talk of cancelling Mobile World Congress. He said that would be an \"over-reaction\". Even if people were attending the show from China, he said, \"we have new ways to diagnose these types of infections very quickly and accurately so that shouldn't be a concern.\" Feeling the heat at Samsung The following day, the mobile industry's market leader Samsung was launching its latest devices in San Francisco. On our way into the event – which, like MWC, had attracted visitors from around the world – we had to walk past a temperature sensor to screen us for fever, a symptom of the coronavirus. Inside, there were plentiful supplies of face masks and hand sanitiser. Then we got to see a spectacular show where the flagship Galaxy S20, now with 5G across all its versions, was unveiled. Having been under pressure from China's Huawei, which seemed to be leading the way on camera innovation, Samsung showed off a combined optical and digital 100x zoom which allowed the phone to pick out the Palace of Fine Arts where the event was taking place from a vantage point miles away, overlooking the Golden Gate Bridge. The star of the show, however, was Samsung's second folding phone the Galaxy Z Flip, a smaller and far more elegant device than last year's Galaxy Fold, even though the $1,380 (£1,058) price tag seems a bit steep just to be able to slip it into your jeans pocket. This was the second time Samsung had held its major event of the year before Mobile World Congress, previously the launch pad for its new Galaxy phones. Disappointment and disinformation That move looked even smarter the next day, when the news came through that MWC had been cancelled. That leaves its biggest Android rival Huawei with no venue to show off its latest devices - it had been planning to make a big splash in Barcelona. The leading analyst Carolina Milanesi of Creative Strategies, who is based in Silicon Valley, told us she was disappointed to be missing the show – an opportunity to get a global perspective on the industry. She made the point that a lot of the action takes place behind the scenes, with senior executives meeting and making deals. But the impact on the industry of cancelling the show was as nothing compared to the wider damage the virus could cause. \"It is nowhere near the impact that the coronavirus could actually have from a manufacturing perspective, from delaying products to lack of availability of products that are already in the market today,\" she said. Meanwhile, a World Health Organization official has been visiting the Silicon Valley tech giants this week to express concerns over the spread of misinformation about the coronavirus on social media. Standing outside Google's Mountain View headquarters, Andrew Pattison had this warning: \"The spread of misinformation, and false information about the virus itself is spread faster than the virus, and it's got into more people's lives and infected more people than the actual virus itself.\" Examples include people falsely claiming that eating garlic or taking vitamin C could ward off the disease, or changing credible websites such as that of the Canadian Health Ministry to insert false information about schools which had been affected by the coronavirus. But Mr Pattinson said there had been useful conversations with the tech firms, and Google had acted to remove misinformation from search results about the virus and replace it with content from reliable organisations such as the WHO. What is clear is that the coronavirus is going to have a major impact on many technology firms this year. Some will be trying to work out how to keep fragile supply chains intact as components from China become sparse. For others – notably the social media giants – the threat is of damage to their reputations if they are seen as the purveyors of panic and the channels for misinformation.",

The take-up is 77% - 6% higher than in Scotland and 8% above Northern Ireland. Rhodri Williams, Ofcom director for Wales, said public funding to roll out the Superfast Cymru programme across Wales had \"transformed\" the picture. \"Things have improved due to the substantial amount of public investment that has taken place,\" he said, with financial backing coming from the EU, the UK and Welsh governments. But other findings in the report showed that Wales had the lowest availability of 4G services across the UK, with just under a quarter (23%) of adults having a 4G service in May 2015. Deputy minister for skills and technology Julie James welcomed the report and added: \"Fast and reliable internet connections are vital.\" The findings are part of Ofcom's 10th annual review of the communications market in Wales. Television The report showed people in Wales are the television addicts of the UK. On average they spend four hours 11 minutes watching TV a day - more than anywhere else in the UK. Despite people in Wales continuing to watch significantly more television than those in the UK as a whole, the average time they spent watching broadcast television declined by 12 minutes in 2014. And the report found the Welsh had more pay TV than anywhere else in the UK with seven in 10 households buying extra channels. The BBC's television services continue to perform better in Wales than in any other nation for reach, share, viewing hours and viewer appreciation scores. Internet and social media More than one in five Welsh adults said they were \"hooked\" on social media. Six in 10 adults in Wales have a tablet computer in the household compared to less than half (45%) last year. But internet users in Wales cited the laptop as their most important device for going online. Most internet users in Wales said they spend around 21.2 hours online per week with more than half of all Welsh internet users spending time on social networking sites on a weekly basis. The use of Twitter was higher among online adults in Wales (48%) than England (40%), Scotland (32%) and Northern Ireland (33%). More than eight in 10 online adults in Wales said they have used Facebook. Radio People in Wales consume more radio than the UK as a whole - and they listen for longer. In 2014, radio services reached 94.5% of the adult population in Wales. Wales continued to have the highest share (59%) of listening to BBC services and the lowest share of listening to local commercial radio (26%). Close to half of adults in Wales (47%) who listen to radio have a digital radio set.",

Mr McVeigh's brother Oliver said the donation was \"great news\". \"Anything that helps the recovery process is very welcome,\" he added. Crimestoppers takes calls anonymously by telephone or accepts information through an anonymous online form.

Prosecutors told the city's crown court she was killed by Kathleen Salmond and her boyfriend Kevin Flanagan so they could spend her benefits. The pair deny murder. Ms Salmond denies benefit fraud and preventing a lawful burial - charges Mr Flanagan admits. The court heard how Ms Bennett, a drug and alcohol addict, disappeared after she collected a prescription from a Selly Oak pharmacy on 9 May 2013. \"She was never seen or heard from again by anyone who cared for her,\" prosecutor Simon Denison QC said. The prosecution alleges that Ms Salmond, 40 of Farnhurst Road, Hodge Hill and Flanagan, 39, of Redbrook Covert, Kings Norton, murdered Ms Bennett at their flat in Weoley Castle on or around the day she vanished. Her body was then \"callously disposed of...in the communal bins\" before being incinerated at the council's waste disposal facility, Mr Denison said. Ms Salmond then contacted the Department for Work and Pensions to arrange for Ms Bennett's benefits be paid into her bank account, jurors heard. The couple later told police a man called Ian, who they said was Ms Bennett's boyfriend, arranged to collect the benefits for Ms Bennett each week. \"They were lying... Lisa Bennett was dead and her new boyfriend didn't exist,\" Mr Denison told the court.

            "input": "By Nick Miller Meteorologist, BBC Weather Centre What does this mean for the UK? December's devastating floods in northern England seem a world away from the Pacific Ocean but anyone embarking on a meteorological whodunit will inevitably have to stop off in the world's largest ocean and investigate further. As well as being exceptionally wet, December 2015 was the UK's warmest December on record. Basic atmospheric physics tells us that warmer air can contain more water vapour and in December this translated into persistent rainfall that drenched the hills of northern England and caused the severe floods that swept downstream. What's causing this? Peter Stott, head of climate monitoring and attribution at the Met Office said \"2015 was a record-breaking year for our climate. Global mean temperatures reached 1°C above pre-industrial levels for the first time and the year's average global temperature was the highest ever recorded.\" In the search for the source of this warmth why are meteorologists pointing their fingers towards the Pacific? El Nino. It's the name given to a natural phenomenon, the occasional warming of waters in the central and eastern Pacific Ocean. In 2015 we witnessed this latest El Nino event becoming one of the strongest on record. During El Nino a large expanse of Pacific water becomes warmer than average altering the usual heat exchange pattern with the air above it which goes on to influence weather patterns in a chain reaction around the world. Analysing the reasons for the December floods, the UK Met Office says El Nino contributed to a persistent weather pattern stretching from the Pacific across North America and the Atlantic that resulted in unusually warm, moist air reaching the UK. More than one player As eye-catching as the effects of El Nino have been in the UK and elsewhere, the warming of the Pacific only reached its peak in the second half of 2015 and scientists say attributing all or even the majority of the year's global temperature increase to it would be like giving star billing to an actor who only appears in one scene of a movie. More likely is that natural weather cycles such as El Nino are becoming aligned with man-made heating to boost global temperatures to new heights. Pushing up temperatures The star of the heating show remains emissions from industry and agriculture adding to the greenhouse effect and trapping more of the sun's energy and heat within our atmosphere. The concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere is now higher than at any time in the last 800,000 years and reached a record high in May 2015. El Nino's warming influence will be felt well into 2016 so the potential is very much there for this partnership with man-made heating to produce further global temperature headlines this time next year.

The 79-year-old, who has chaired the show since 1994, insisted he was \"not giving up broadcasting\" but planned \"to return to my first love: reporting\". BBC director general Tony Hall called him \"a titan in British broadcasting\" and a \"champion of the public\". Dimbleby, who began his broadcasting career more than 57 years ago, is the longest-serving presenter of Question Time. In addition, he has been the BBC's main presenter for all general elections since 1979, as well as the chief commentator for many state occasions including the funeral of Diana, Princess of Wales, in 1997. In 1975 he presented the BBC's coverage of the first referendum in Europe, a role he repeated in 2016 for the BBC's coverage of the EU referendum. Speaking about his quarter of a century at the helm of Question Time, he said it had been \"exhilarating following the twists and turns of British politics\". \"It has been a privilege to work for a programme which brings voters face to face with those in power,\" he said. The show has hosted many of Britain's most prominent politicians, as well as contributors as diverse as academic and writer Germaine Greer and BNP leader Nick Griffin. Last year saw him throw out one member of the audience after they repeatedly interrupted panel members during a Question Time edition filmed in Plymouth. He also revealed a less serious side, when it was reported that at the age of 75 he had got his first tattoo, of a scorpion, to represent his star sign. Paying tribute, Lord Hall said: \"David has been at the helm of Question Time for over 25 years: a brilliant champion of the public and the audience's friend - getting the answers they want on the big and difficult issues of the day. \"Always a commanding figure, David has ensured Question Time has not only stayed relevant through the years, but a must watch for those interested in politics and current affairs.\" Dimbleby's final broadcast on Question Time will be on 13 December 2018 - but there is no word yet on who will replace him. Potential successors Newsnight presenter Kirsty Wark recently told Good Housekeeping magazine she would be interested in taking over the role and would \"throw her hat in the ring\" when Dimbleby stepped down. Other suggested contenders include her fellow Newsnight presenter Emily Maitlis, Fiona Bruce, John Humphrys and Huw Edwards. Some are calling for the programme to have its first female presenter. Labour MP Liz McInnes sent her best wishes to Dimbleby and spoke of her keenness to see a woman at the helm of the show. It is not known how much Dimbleby is paid for his role because Question Time is made by an independent production company, meaning his salary did not appear in last year's list of top paid BBC stars. Recent reports in the Telegraph speculated that he was paid £450,000 per annum by the corporation. Question Time has been on air for nearly 40 years. It was initially chaired by Robin Day (1979-89) and later by Peter Sissons (1989-93).",

US director of national intelligence James Clapper described the leaks as \"extremely damaging\" to national security, but Mr Snowden said he had acted because he found the extent of US surveillance \"horrifying\". According to the documents revealed by Ed Snowden, the US National Security Agency (NSA) has access on a massive scale to individual chat logs, stored data, voice traffic, file transfers and social networking data of individuals. The US government confirmed it did request millions of phone records from US company Verizon, which included call duration, location and the phone numbers of both parties on individual calls. According to the documents, Prism also enabled \"backdoor\" access to the servers of nine major technology companies including Microsoft, Yahoo, Google, Facebook, PalTalk, AOL, Skype, YouTube and Apple. These servers would process and store a vast amount of information, including private posts on social media, web chats and internet searches. All the companies named have denied their involvement, and it is unknown how Prism actually works. National Security Agency (NSA) Director Keith Alexander said that the eavesdropping operations have helped keep Americans secure - yet cannot provide details. \"If we tell the terrorists every way that we're going to track them, they will get through and Americans will die,\" he said Some experts question its true powers, with digital forensics professor Peter Sommer telling the BBC the access may be more akin to a \"catflap\" than a \"backdoor\". \"The spooks may be allowed to use these firms' servers but only in respect of a named target,\" he said. \"Or they may get a court order and the firm will provide them with material on a hard-drive or similar.\" Different countries have different laws regarding data protection, but these tend to aim to regulate what data companies can hold about their customers, what they can do with it and how long they can keep it for - rather than government activity. Most individual company privacy policies will include a clause suggesting they will share information if legally obliged - and include careful wording about other monitoring. Facebook's privacy policy, for example, states: \" We use the information [uploaded by users] to prevent potentially illegal activities\". The ways in which individual governments monitor citizen activity is notoriously secretive in the interests of national security, and officials generally argue that preventing terrorism over-rides protecting privacy. \"You can't have 100% security and also then have 100% privacy and zero inconvenience,\" said US President Barack Obama, defending US surveillance tactics. Senator Dianne Feinstein, chairwoman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said that phone records were only accessed by the NSA in cases where there was reason to suspect an individual was connected with al-Qaeda or Iran. Speaking to the BBC UK Foreign Secretary William Hague said that \"law abiding citizens\" in Britain would \"never be aware of all the things... agencies are doing to stop your identity being stolen or to stop a terrorist blowing you up\". User data (such as emails and social media activity) is often not stored in the same country as the users themselves - Facebook for example has a clause in its privacy policy saying that all users must consent to their data being \"transferred to and stored in\" the US. The US Patriot Act of 2001 gave American authorities new powers over European data stored in this way. This method of storage is part of cloud computing, in which both storage and processing is carried out away from the individual's own PC. \"Most cloud providers, and certainly the market leaders, fall within the US jurisdiction either because they are US companies or conduct systematic business in the US,\" Axel Arnbak, a researcher at the University of Amsterdam's Institute for Information Law, told CBS News last year after conducting a study into cloud computing, higher education and the act. \"In particular, the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Amendments (FISA) Act makes it easy for US authorities to circumvent local government institutions and mandate direct and easy access to cloud data belonging to non-Americans living outside the US, with little or no transparency obligations for such practices - not even the number of actual requests.\" UK Foreign Secretary William Hague has so far refused to confirm or deny whether British government surveillance department GCHQ has had access to Prism. It is not known whether other governments around the world have been either aware of or involved in the use of Prism, which is reported to have been established in 2007. In a statement, the EU Justice Commission said it was \"concerned\" about the consequences of Prism for EU citizens and was \"seeking more details\" from the US authorities. \"Where the rights of an EU citizen in a Member State are concerned, it is for a national judge to determine whether data can be lawfully transmitted in accordance with legal requirements (be they national, EU or international),\" said a spokesperson for Justice Commissioner Vivane Reding. William Hague insists that law-abiding citizens have nothing to worry about, and there is no legal way of \"opting out\" of monitoring activity carried out in the name of national or global security. However privacy concerns about information uploaded to the internet have been around for almost as long as the internet itself, and campaign group Privacy International says the reported existence of Prism confirms its \"worst fears and suspicions\". \"Since many of the world's leading technology companies are based in the US, essentially anyone who participates in our interconnected world and uses popular services like Google or Skype can have their privacy violated through the Prism programme,\" says Privacy International on its website. \"The US government can have access to much of the world's data, by default, with no recourse.\" Edward Snowden, the source of the leaked documents, said he had acted over concerns about privacy. \"I don't want to live in a society that does these sort of things… I do not want to live in a world where everything I do and say is recorded,\" he told the Guardian.",

Mr Abbott, who said the tax cost jobs and forced energy prices up, said the repeal bill would be the first reviewed under the new parliament.

Mr Abbott said that the draft bill was \"designed to not only keep the government's commitments, but to do the right thing by the people of Australia\". \"We are giving the Labor Party the chance to repent of its support for the carbon tax,\" he added. In place of the tax, Mr Abbott's government intends to introduce a Direct Action plan, where farmers and industry will be paid to act to reduce emissions. \"We are confident [the measures] will bring about a 5% reduction in our emissions by 2020,\" he said. However, critics say the plan does not go far enough. The government is running a consultation on the carbon tax draft repeal bill until 4 November. Mr Abbott wants the bill passed by July 2014. However, while his party commands a majority in Australia's lower house of parliament, it does not have control of the Senate. The repeal bill cannot be passed without Senate approval. The new senators elected in September's polls, including those representing minor parties who may support the repeal, do not take their seats until July 2014. The opposition Labor Party has said it would not support a repeal of the carbon tax. \"The coalition instead will throw the baby out with the bathwater, and leave Australia with no credible policy on climate change,\" opposition climate spokesman Mark Butler said.

Populated by convicts in the early days of British settlement, Australia still loves to lay down the law. And now an Australian senator has set up a parliamentary inquiry into the extent to which the country has become a \"nanny state\". Senator David Leyonhjelm says Australia's once \"adventurous spirit\" has been paralysed by rules and regulations, and millions of dollars are being wasted on bureaucracy. \"Australia is increasingly becoming a nanny state,\" says Senator Leyonhjelm, the sole parliamentary representative of the Liberal Democratic Party. \"The government is taking decisions out of the hands of adults and making decisions for them on the basis that the government knows best.\" Senator Leyonhjelm says the idea of Australia as a relaxed country is no longer true. \"Unfortunately, the external image is not matched by the internal reality,\" he says \"Historically, going back several decades, we were a very relaxed place and governments tended to leave people alone. That is absolutely no longer the case.\" And for me personally, I have to say Australia is without doubt one of the most rule obsessed and bureaucratic places I have ever lived. When I first found out I was moving to Sydney in 2013, people told me: \"Ooh, you'll love it over there. Australia is so relaxed.\" The reality is that it can be a bit uptight. Senator Leyonhjelm singles out compulsory bicycle helmet laws, tough anti-smoking policies, restrictions on e-cigarettes and alcohol licensing laws as examples of \"nannystatism.\" The 63-year-old senator is enlisting a team of psychologists to find out what, at least in his view, has gone wrong. \"There's a sort of moral obligation on politicians to do something when there's a problem,\" he says. \"If it was raining cats and dogs you'd almost expect the media and the public to say politicians should do something about it, to fix any problem that arises rather than just let it sort itself out.\" He also argues that Australia's public health lobby has become too powerful and is pressuring the government to introduce unnecessary laws. An innocent abroad on the streets of Sydney, I confess I have fallen foul of some of its laws. I was fined A$71 ($51, £32) and threatened with court for crossing the road on a red light, unbeknown to me an offence in the state of New South Wales. The jovial policeman who stopped me asked, out of the blue, what would happen if I were to punch him in the face. \"I wouldn't want to try it,\" I replied looking up at his bulky frame. \"Don't worry,\" he said \"Nothing would happen.\" He told me the courts would probably let me off if I argued I was having a stressful day. But jaywalking, he said, \"the courts take that very seriously\". I wondered what Senator Leyonhjelm would make of my story. \"The one thing I will say about Australians is that we still have a healthy tendency to ignore laws so I am quite pleased to hear you ignored it too,\" he told me. \"In fact, I wish everybody would refuse to pay their on-the-spot fines for these silly sorts of things and go to court. It would jam up the magistrates courts something terrible and they would go back to the police and say 'stop being so stupid'.\" Perhaps I'll quote the Senator when I'm standing in the dock. Then again, maybe not. Because for now at least, in Australia the law is the law.",

Be warned though, the streets and parks will be extremely busy during these times. Cycling Road Race On 28 July (men) and 29 July (women) cyclists will race from the Mall to Box Hill and back. You need a ticket to watch it at The Mall, Box Hill and Hampton Court, but everywhere else on the 120 km route is free to watch. Constitution Hill (between Buckingham Palace and Hyde Park Corner), Richmond Park or Fulham Road are likely to be good spots to see the racing. Men's and Women's 20km Race Walk On 4 August (men's 20km) and 11 August (women's 20km and men's 50km) is a 2km circuit along The Mall up to Hyde Park Corner and back. Depending on the race, the athletes will do up to 25 laps. The Mall is ticketed, but you can still watch for free on Constitution Hill or Buckingham Palace. You will need to get there early and plan your journey. Triathlon The triathlon on 4 August (women) and 7 August (men) mostly takes place in Hyde Park, with the cycling route extending down to Buckingham Palace. The athletes will swim round the Serpentine and run four laps of a part of Hyde Park. The north side of the Serpentine will be ticketed but you could always try watching from the south side of the lake. This will be a very popular event so if you want to be at the front of the crowds you'll have to get there early. There's more scope to watch the cycle route. You could gather on South Carriage Drive in Hyde Park, in front of Buckingham Palace, along Constitution Hill or at Hyde Park Corner. The cyclists will do seven laps of the circuit. The marathon swim The marathon swim on 9 August (women) and 10 August (men) also takes place in the Serpentine where swimmers will do six laps of the lake. A part of the north side of the lake is ticketed but the rest is not. You could try getting a place on the south side of the lake near the Feeding Pontoon. This is where coaches hand the competitors food and drinks on the end of long poles as they swim past. The marathon The marathon on 5 August (women) and 12 August (men) takes in most of London's most iconic landmarks. It starts on the Mall, which is a ticketed area, along with Horseguards Parade. But you could position yourself at Trafalgar Square, Victoria Embankment, Buckingham Palace or Lower Thames Street. The runners make three circuits of the route so you will have more than one chance to see them. Live sites Another option if you do not have a ticket is to watch the events on big screens that will be set up at the Live Sites across the capital. The two biggest sites are in Hyde Park and Victoria Park. During the Paralympics these will move to Trafalgar Square. Access to these sites is free, except for Hyde Park on the 27 July and 12 August. If you want to be sure to get in you can reserve tickets in advance. At Victoria Park every sporting event will be streamed live. There will be family activities like water zorbing and a zip line. At Hyde Park you can watch artists and bands performing and members of Team GB will be there too. The three other Live Sites in London are at Potters Fields Park (next to Tower Bridge), Walthamstow Town Square and Woolwich. There are also two community live sites in Newham and Lewisham. You can just turn up and watch the events unfold on the big screens. It's also worth checking if your local authority has any plans for watching or celebrating the Olympic Games. And if you don't want to leave home, the BBC's Red Button service for the Olympics on Sky, Virgin Media and Freesat will offer audiences access to up to 24 live streams while there will be an additional 24-hour channel of extra BBC Olympics content available via the BBC Red Button for audiences with Freeview and BT Vision.

Ms Sturgeon said she hoped to be able to announce further details next week. But she said it was important to ensure it did not cause a spike in the number of cases - and deaths - in January. About 2.3m people in western and central Scotland are to be subject to the top level of Covid restrictions from 18:00 on Friday in a bid to drive down \"stubbornly high\" levels of the virus ahead of the festive period. A survey for BBC Scotland has suggested that many Scots are happy for the government to set \"strict rules\" to contain the pandemic, but that a majority would also like a break from them over the festive period. Talks have been held between leaders in Scotland, England, Wales and Northern Ireland to agree a \"common approach\" to relaxing restrictions to allow family get-togethers. Ms Sturgeon told the Scottish Parliament on Friday that reducing the number of people who have the virus by Christmas would obviously lower the risk of it being transmitted to others. At her weekly question session, Ms Sturgeon said officials had been tasked with drawing up a \"sensible and safe plan to allow people a greater degree of normality over Christmas\", and said she would announce further details next week. However, she said a balance had to be struck between allowing people some leeway to celebrate together, while avoiding a major spike in the number of cases. She said: \"We are determined to strike the right balance between the understandable desire - which I share - to see family over the Christmas period, but also to do that in a way that does not lead to increased loss of life and harm to health over January.\" This echoed a warning from one scientist who advises the government, Prof Andrew Hayward, who said mixing households at Christmas could pose \"substantial risks\" to older and more vulnerable people. Scottish Conservative group leader Ruth Davidson pressed Ms Sturgeon for details, asking if \"the current restrictions are the price for a relaxation this Christmas\", or \"if we have to start preparing ourselves now for a January shutdown too\". Ms Sturgeon said it was important to drive down prevalence of the virus in advance of any easing of the rules, saying this would lower the risk of infections spreading when people are allowed to meet. She added: \"I don't underestimate what a difficult balance this will be for all of us to strike. I want people to have a degree of normality over Christmas, but I don't want to be in a position of the country having to live with a death toll that could have been avoidable if we get that balance wrong.\" The first minister also said the government was working to provide extra support to older people and \"anyone who is on their own\" through winter, and was considering a specific \"loneliness campaign\". Meanwhile, Scottish Labour leader Richard Leonard urged the first minister to drop plans to enforce travel restrictions in law. From 18:00 on Friday the police will be able to impose fines on people who travel in or out of areas which are in level three or four without a reasonable excuse. Mr Leonard said the move was a \"red herring\" which would confuse and potentially criminalise people. He said the government should instead focus on properly resourcing the testing and tracing system and providing comprehensive support for health workers and businesses. Ms Sturgeon said the rules and exemptions had been published on the Scottish government website, adding that it was \"absolutely incumbent\" on her to \"do the right thing\" even if it was not popular. She said \"a significant proportion\" of the population was moving into the highest level of restrictions, and said \"we must avoid taking the virus from high prevalence areas to low prevalence ones\".",

The unilateral measures freeze all Venezuelan government assets in the US and ban commercial transactions. They are aimed at piling pressure on President Nicolás Maduro to step down. The US is one of more than 50 nations that do not recognise Mr Maduro as Venezuela's legitimate president. What did Michelle Bachelet say? \"I am deeply worried about the potentially severe impact on the human rights of the people of Venezuela of the new set of unilateral sanctions imposed by the US this week,\" the UN human rights commissioner said in a statement. \"The sanctions are extremely broad and fail to contain sufficient measures to mitigate their impact on the most vulnerable sectors of the population.\" Despite some exceptions for sales linked to food, clothing and medicine, she said the measures were \"still likely to significantly exacerbate the crisis for millions of ordinary Venezuelans\". Ms Bachelet has raised concern about the consequences of previous US sanctions against Venezuela. She has also criticised Mr Maduro's government, mainly over its ill-treatment of opponents. In March she singled out Venezuela as an example of how \"violations of civil and political rights\" can accentuate inequality and worsening economic conditions. What were the US measures? On Monday US President Donald Trump signed an executive order stating that \"all property and interests in property of the government of Venezuela that are in the United States... are blocked and may not be transferred, paid, exported, withdrawn, or otherwise dealt in\". The order also bars transactions with Venezuelan authorities whose assets are blocked, stating that \"the making of any contribution or provision of funds, goods, or services by, to, or for the benefit of any person whose property and interests in property are blocked pursuant to this order\". \"The receipt of any contribution or provision of funds, goods, or services from any such person,\" is also banned. US National Security Adviser John Bolton said the new sanctions could be imposed on \"anyone who supports\" Mr Maduro's government. The new measures, he added, would force countries and companies to choose between doing business with the US or with Venezuela. He said America would use \"every tool to end Maduro's dictatorship in Venezuela\". Venezuela's foreign ministry denounced the new sanctions and accused Washington of \"arbitrary economic terrorism against the Venezuelan people\". What's the background? The US, along with more than 50 other nations, has given its backing to the head of the National Assembly, Juan Guaidó, who declared himself interim president in January, arguing that Mr Maduro's re-election last year was fraudulent. Mr Guaidó welcomed the new US sanctions arguing that they punish those \"who do business with the regime\". But international pressure has so far failed to remove Mr Maduro from power. Venezuelans have continued to flee the country's political and economic crisis in huge numbers. More than four million are now living abroad according to UN figures.",

But perhaps that's the point. Meddling in markets can only lead to misery - at least, that's certainly what many in China's financial circles may now be thinking. The circuit-breakers were designed to \"protect investors and calm markets\", according to regulators, but they have had the opposite effect. Analysts have criticised Chinese authorities for not being clear enough in their communication to the market, and for being too heavy-handed in their attempts to control share prices. Periodically in the past, the government has shored up financial and stock markets through backdoor money market injections - a regular occurrence in China - and this week in an attempt to boost confidence, authorities poured $20bn into the money markets - but although there was a brief rally on Tuesday, so far not much has worked to stave off the panic.

A round of UN-backed talks in Switzerland, which began in January, were seen as the best chance to move towards a two-state federation. But despite some signs of progress, the negotiations were deadlocked and called off early on Friday. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres told reporters: \"Despite the very strong commitment and engagement of all the delegations and the different parties... the Conference on Cyprus was closed without an agreement being reached.\" The admission came hours after he flew in to meet Greek Cypriot President Nicos Anastasiades and Turkish Cypriot leader Mustafa Akinci, and after US Vice-President Mike Pence had phoned the leaders urging them to \"seize this historic opportunity\". At the start of the talks, Mr Guterres had said he was hopeful a deal was \"very close\". One of the sticking points was over whether 30,000 Turkish troops could stay on after reunification. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said removing them was \"out of the question\" unless Greece committed to removing its 1,000 troops. Another obstacle to the deal was the question over how to return property to tens of thousands of Cypriots who fled their homes when Turkey invaded the north of the island in 1974. That invasion was in response to a military coup on the island which was backed by the Athens government. The UK, Greece and Turkey currently maintain Cyprus's security.

His comments come months after a high-profile case sparked debate. A court exonerated a teenager executed 18 years ago for rape and murder. Another man has since been convicted and sentenced to death for the crime. \"With regard to miscarriages of justice, we deeply reprove ourselves and demand that courts at all levels draw profound lessons, and further strengthen the effective prevention of unjust and false cases and timely correction mechanisms,\" the chief justice said. He said courts reheard 1,317 cases in 2014 and corrected \"a number of wrongful ones\", according to Xinhua news agency. Analysis, Celia Hatton, Beijing Like many senior officials in China, China's top judge is vowing to improve. The courts will work to hand out the right punishments to the guilty, while allowing the innocent to go free. If Chief Justice Zhou Qiang can follow through on this promise, everyone in China would surely benefit from the changes. Petitioners would be able to exhale, knowing their cases would be heard by an independent court. The indiscriminate power of the Chinese police and government prosecutors would certainly be lessened if China's weakest could rely on the law in the same manner as the elite. However, there are reasons to doubt Mr Zhou's words. The structure of the government hasn't changed; the ruling Communist Party remains in charge of the courts. By next year, China might have improved the statistics regarding its 99% conviction rate. However, until there is proof that the courts have the power and the courage to rule against ingrained government interests, true judicial reform remains a distant goal. China's courts have a very high conviction rate - in 2013, it stood at 99.9%, according to the top court. Rights groups highlight political control over courts, judicial corruption, the use of force by police to extract confessions and inadequate access by defendants to lawyers as factors in this. In one potential step forward, in January the Communist Party said targets for arrests and convictions would be abolished, according to a report carried by Xinhua news agency. But China remains the world's most prolific user of the death penalty, according to rights groups. The case that attracted nationwide attention involved Huugjilt, an Inner Mongolian teenager who went by one name, who was 18 when executed for rape and murder in 1996. Xinhua reported that Huugjilt had tried to help save the woman after hearing her cry out from a public toilet. He reported the crime to police - but was then put on trial for it. In 2005 serial rapist and murderer Zhai Zhihong confessed to police that he had attacked the woman. There have been other well-reported cases. In May 2010 a man jailed for murder was freed when his supposed victim reappeared. He said police beat a confession out of him.",

The Scottish government said it was committed to free education and that there would be a \"range of options\" to maintain the balance of students post-independence. The research by Sheila Riddell, Elisabet Weedon and Sarah Minty is being funded by the Economic and Social Research Council. In their briefing paper, titled The Funding of Higher Education in Scotland, the UK and Internationally, they suggest that funding education post independence would \"represent a major challenge\". It said: \"Clearly, free tuition in Scotland would be a major attraction for students from the UK and other EU member states. \"However, there would be a danger that such students could squeeze out Scottish domiciled students.\" The authors have suggested that there would be a funding shortfall faced by the government of an independent Scotland. But they propose three possible solutions. They include; Currently, universities in England and Wales are allowed to charge up to £9,000 a year and in Northern Ireland, students pay £3,575. At the moment, EU students study for free in Scotland but students from the rest of the UK are charged up to £9,000. A Scottish government spokeswoman said: \"No fees was the pledge we made, it is a pledge we have delivered on and this will not change with independence. \"A record number of students are now in higher education in Scotland. \"There are a range of options and mechanisms available to ministers to maintain the balance of students from within and outwith Scotland post-independence and ensure Scottish students continue to get the opportunities they need. \"We will publish specific plans in due course.\" On the issue of the options, the report authors said: \"With regard to option two, it appears that EU law might allow places to be reserved for Scottish students in subjects such as Education and Medicine, where there is a need to train students to undertake a particular job, but such arrangements would not apply to more general subjects. \"Option three, involving a different admissions process for students from EU member states, might be against the spirit of the Bologna Agreement.\" A key element of the Bologna Agreement is the encouragement of student mobility, so that countries are not allowed to charge EU students more than the fees paid by home students.‬",

The BBC's Stephen Evans in Seoul, says the discovery of Viagra will add an air of remoteness to the president. Many Koreans believe Ms Park is living in a \"different world\" which will exacerbate political pressure on her to resign. Some early rumours among Koreans alleged Ms Park could have been involved with cultish rituals with her friend Ms Choi. Ms Choi, a long-time friend of Ms Park's, is the daughter of Choi Tae-min, a shadowy quasi-religious leader who was closely linked to Ms Park's father, then-president Park Chung-hee.

The discovery of Viagra grew out of the drug UK92480, a new treatment for angina, a heart condition that constricts the vessels that supply the heart with blood. It failed in treating angina, but during drug trials many volunteers reported an unusual side effect - lots of erections. Scientists ran more tests and discovered its effectiveness at treating erectile dysfunction. Because of biological similarities between the lungs and penis, scientists also discovered it could help protect against pulmonary hypertension, common in climbers. At high altitudes decreased levels of oxygen can trigger high blood pressure in the lungs, which in extreme circumstance can be fatal. Viagra reduces high blood pressure and improves the transport of oxygen in the blood. Meanwhile, South Korean authorities have raided the offices of Samsung and the national pension fund as part of a corruption investigation linked to the president. They are probing whether Ms Park pressured the fund to support a Samsung merger, said the Yonhap news agency. Samsung's offices had already been raided over related allegations. Wednesday's raid had to do with a merger last year between the electronics giant's construction arm, Samsung C&T, and an affiliate firm, Cheil Industries.

She said: \"In difficult times, we believe that people on low and middle incomes should get the help they need and that is why I am pleased that the Liberal Democrats have been able to persuade the chancellor to increase the personal income tax threshold. \"This will give hard working people in Wales more of their money back in their pockets and it will also incentivise people to get off benefits and into work.\" She added: \"We have heard many times about the need to make tough choices in these difficult times. \"The choice for us is clear, lift the burden for the people who are struggling the most now and ensure the wealthy pay their fair share.\" For Labour,shadow Welsh secretary Peter Hainsaid the Budget \"failed the fairness test\". 'Bonanza' Following the chancellor's announcement that the top rate of income tax will be cut from 50p to 45p, Mr Hain said: \"Pensioners having their personal allowance frozen will hit thousands of older people across Wales while millionaires enjoy a multi-thousand pound bonanza. \"In Wales, we have a Welsh Labour government committed to investing in our communities, growing the economy and guaranteeing jobs and training for thousands of young people. \"The chancellor had the opportunity today to take firm action to support this work. Instead, he committed himself once again to tax cuts for the richest with the poorest paying through cuts to tax credits and the scaling back of child benefit.\" Mr Osborne announced in the autumn that independent pay review boards were looking at the introduction of regional pay deals in the public sector. Plaid MP Jonathan Edwardssaid: \"Regional pay proposals will mean real term cuts for public sector workers in Wales and institutionalise low pay and low ambition. \"In Wales, we clearly need to grow our private sector, but that will not come about through slashing public sector jobs and cutting the amount of money circulating in our communities, which would hurt the private sector as much as the public. \"Pay and conditions for workers in Wales should be decided in Wales, not Westminster.\" Conservative assembly leader Andrew RT Daviessaid: \"This is a budget that rewards work, backs business and will support the economy, while benefiting tens of thousands of families the length and breadth of Wales. \"The Welsh government's refusal to accept the huge advantages within it smacks either of politically motivated rhetoric or a complete lack of understanding.\" He said \"important announcements\" on extending broadband coverage, funding for the Deeside enterprise zone and further consideration of rail electrification in the South Wales Valleys should be welcomed by all. Confederation of British Industry(CBI) Wales said the Wales-specific announcements in the Budget \"are few, but nevertheless are welcome\". It said the best news for businesses was that Mr Osborne delivered a \"fiscally neutral programme\" instead of spending money he did not have.

The High Hedges (Scotland) Act came into force in 2014 to resolve neighbourhood rows over hedges which grow more than two metres tall and block out light. The committee said people often tried to avoid action by disputing whether their plants should properly be categorised as a hedge. But local authority representatives also raised concern that widening the definition might lead to the removal of trees. 'Non-hedge' Committee convener Bob Doris said: \"Our committee heard directly from homeowners across Scotland, and many of them spoke of the serious impact high hedges had on their quality of life. \"Some even said they felt they were forced to live in the shadows because of hedges blocking natural light to their homes. Quite clearly, if someone's life is made a misery from blocked-out light, this must be addressed. \"While there are examples of the High Hedges Act working well for communities, it's clear that it's not currently operating in the full spirit, as was intended. \"For example, we found that some local authorities dismissed applications as they deemed a row of trees or shrubs to be a 'non-hedge' despite the detrimental impact on homeowners.\" The committee made several recommendations aimed at improving the legislation, including clarifying \"what is and what is not a high hedge\".

            "input": "By Imogen FoulkesBBC News, Bern Had they said yes, it would have been the first step towards full membership of the European Union, and by now Switzerland would probably be one of the more longstanding members of the EU. But in a result which surprised many, and which is still the closest ever vote in Switzerland's post-war history, 49.7% of those voting said yes to membership, but 50.3% said no. Switzerland's economy minister at the time, the late Jean-Pascal Delamuraz, called it \"Black Sunday\", warning of damage to the Swiss jobs market, and a young generation of Swiss who would be \"deprived\". And 20 years on many Swiss, like political scientist Georg Lutz at the University of Lausanne, still remember the disappointment of that day very clearly. \"It was a big surprise, it was one of the first times I was allowed to vote and I voted in favour,\" he remembers. \"And suddenly there was a no, which hardly anybody expected, because we were in the times when it was the end of the Cold War, there was this liberal movement towards Europe. And suddenly it was almost the reverse dynamic.\" Success in isolation But two decades later the disappointment has eased, and the dire warnings of Mr Delamuraz have not come true. Quite the contrary in fact. Switzerland's economy is doing very well - its unemployment rate, at less than 3%, is the envy of its European neighbours. Christoph Blocher of the right-wing Swiss People's Party (SVP) was the key figure in the No campaign 20 years ago. He appealed to a traditional image of Switzerland, his rallies were determinedly nationalistic, he even often appeared carrying large cow bells. Also, as one of Switzerland's leading businessmen, he spent 2m francs (£1.3m; $2.2m) of his personal fortune on the campaign. Looking at Switzerland today, he is as convinced as ever that his go-it-alone policy is the only right one. \"Twenty years ago I heard the same thing all the time: there's no alternative to European Union membership, there's no alternative to those colonial agreements (with Brussels),\" he told parliament earlier this year. \"But look at the alternatives the Swiss people have voted for, and compare them with the intellectual bankruptcy outside our borders. The alternative is to stay true to Switzerland, to represent our strengths, our financial sector, our jobs, our well-being and our freedom. The alternative is to say no [to agreements with Europe].\" Accepting EU policies Analysts of Switzerland's relationship with Europe, however, say it is not quite as simple as that. The Swiss No vote coincided with a downturn in Switzerland's economy - both the public deficit and unemployment were rising. Swiss political and business leaders viewed the prospect of being shut out of the European market with horror, and just weeks after the No vote Swiss diplomats were in Brussels, nervously presenting a request to negotiate bilaterally. They knew that in order to preserve their access to Europe's lucrative trade markets, they would have to sign up to the very policies the Swiss voters had rejected. And since 1992 Switzerland has concluded more than 100 agreements with the EU, among them the key elements of EU policy. \"Although Switzerland turned down membership, in the years afterwards all the major issues like free movement of people have been agreed with the EU,\" says Georg Lutz. \"So the situation isn't so different these days, especially with regard to migration.\" Magnet for EU workers Switzerland's agreement to free movement of people is a particular irony: in 1992 opinion polls showed that one of the key factors in the No vote was a fear of immigration, and of Switzerland being forced to let in too many foreign workers. At that point foreigners in Switzerland made up 20% of the population. Today the figure is 25%, and the increase is due almost entirely to the arrival of EU citizens. Switzerland has in fact seen much higher numbers of EU workers coming in than many of its neighbours who are full members of the EU. So is Switzerland better off outside the EU? \"No one will ever know,\" says Mr Lutz. \"Yes the economy is healthy, unemployment is low, but nobody will ever know if Switzerland might have been even more successful if the country had joined the European Union.\" Unsurprisingly, given the crisis in the eurozone, opinion polls today show the Swiss have little enthusiasm for Brussels: barely 11% say they would consider membership. And now a new era of agonised decision-making may be approaching, because Brussels has told the Swiss government the EU is no longer interested in pursuing bilateral agreements. Instead Brussels wants Switzerland to automatically adopt EU law - a suggestion which is already causing Swiss hackles to rise. Bilateral stalemate Meanwhile various unsigned bilateral agreements, including a crucial one on energy, are gathering dust in Brussels. A deal with Europe is fundamental to the Swiss economy, so the current stalemate is not an option. But when one Swiss politician recently proposed going back to square one, and voting again on joining the European Economic Area, he was ridiculed, with colleagues suggesting he \"drink a glass of Swiss wine to clear his head\". Any suggestion that Switzerland should officially join Europe is still, it seems, political dynamite, and very few in the political establishment dare touch it. A pity, says Georg Lutz, since, he believes, both sides might have benefited over the last 20 years from a closer relationship. The EU in particular, he suggests, might have learned something from Switzerland's prudence - in particular its legal limits on public debt. \"(If Switzerland had been a member) I guess we would have pushed for fiscal conservatism throughout the entire time, because that's the tradition in our country as well. \"But whether Switzerland would have succeeded with that, I have some doubts.\"",

The data also shows some 215 schools missed the new government target of 40% of pupils obtaining five A*-C GCSEs. The BBC is publishing its league tables for secondary schools in England. The tables are drawn up from the latest official government data on pupils' academic achievement. Overall they cover achievement in more than 4,000 mainstream state and independent schools, based mainly on the results of last summer's exams for 16- and 18-year-olds. In total, 2,540 schools and colleges in England run A-level courses. England league tables Compare schools in your area Talent pool Much has been made of the inability of leading universities to recruit more bright students from a wider set of backgrounds. But this data shows that many schools are not producing students of a high enough calibre to automatically get places at such universities. It also shows that in only two schools did more than 70% of pupils obtain two As and a B in what is known as the \"facilitating\" subjects favoured by the 24 Russell Group of some of the leading universities. And in only 16 schools did 50% or more pupils achieve these grades. In 208 schools (8%) of the total a quarter of pupils or more reached the grades in these subjects. The Russell Group of top universities introduced this list to identify the very best students and inform schools which sorts of subjects they expect pupils to sit if they wish to obtain a place on one of their degree courses. Many courses will require two high grades in such subjects, and some will require three. But admissions tutors they also look at a pupil's background before deciding whether to give them a place. Its director general Dr Wendy Piatt said: \"The Russell Group has published a guide called Informed Choices which lists 'facilitating subjects' which are those most commonly required for entry to our leading universities. \"However, it's important that students make decisions based on their individual circumstances. We encourage all prospective students to check the entry requirements for their chosen course before applying to a particular university.\" Joy Mercer, director of policy at the Association of Colleges, said the achievement of three A-levels was a \"blunt descriptor\" and that would give a poor reflection of colleges and sixth form colleges where students were encouraged to combine vocational qualifications and A-levels within a very demanding programme. \"Institutions like this account for one-third of all A-levels taken in this country.\" Schools minister Liz Truss said the measure had been introduced to enable parents to be able to identify those schools and colleges where A-level pupils achieve great results in the key academic subjects that most often lead to the top universities. \"We are also reforming the post-16 tables so that in future schools and colleges focus on the very best vocational qualifications that are most valued by employers and lead to good jobs.\" GCSE results At GCSE level nationally, 59.4% of pupils in both maintained and independent schools reached the government's benchmark of five GCSEs (or equivalent qualifications) graded A* to C, including English and maths - up from 58.2% in 2011. The schools with the lowest GCSE results was the selective Pate's Grammar school in Cheltenham, where 0% of pupils reached this benchmark. However, this result was because pupils sat new English exams which the Department for Education does not recognise for the purpose of performance data. Excluding Pate's Grammar, the school with the lowest GCSE results was the Rushden Community College in Northamptonshire, where 6% of pupils got five A*-C GCSEs, including maths and English. Head teacher Mark Lester said the college had entered pupils for English language and English exams but not English literature, which he said is the one counted by the DfE. If pupils' English exams had been counted, their pass rate including English and maths would have been 46%, he said. Academy schools The Department for Education hailed the success of its academy schools in the performance data. It said sponsored academies were improving results at a record rate - more than five times as quickly than in all state-funded schools - with an increase of 3.1 percentage points. This compares to a 0.6 percentage point improvement across all state-funded schools. But many of these would have been performing at a higher level, as sponsored academies tend to be struggling schools which are converted to academies because of their difficulties. A spokesman said: \"This shows we are right to continue to support the sponsored academy programme. These brilliant sponsors have a track record of arresting decline - and then reversing it.\" General Secretary of the Nasuwt teaching union, Chris Keates, said: \"Everyone recognises that there is more to be done to ensure that the best is being achieved for every child, but the government's approach of manufacturing deficiencies to seek to justify its flawed education policies, rather than celebrating success is counter productive and divisive.\"",

Jackson died from an overdose of the powerful anaesthetic propofol while preparing for 50 comeback gigs in the UK. The legal action claims AEG Live is liable for his death because Dr Murray supplied Jackson with the surgical drug. 'Preposterous' The Jackson family is suing for $40bn (£26bn).

Potential witnesses include Jackson's mother, his two oldest children, Prince, 16, and Paris, 15, as well as the singers Prince and Diana Ross. The jury was selected from more than 100 candidates - many of whom were eliminated because they said serving on a three-month trial would be a hardship. Others were rejected when they said they had a bias against Jackson or disapproved of big-figure legal cases or had business ties to AEG or the Jackson family. Alternative jurors Lawyers for both sides have now begun questioning prospective candidates to sit as six alternative jurors - used to replace a regular juror who becomes unable to serve. The legal action accuses the promoters of failing to check the credentials of Dr Murray, who supplied Jackson with the propofol. During Dr Murray's trial in 2011, the prosecution said he caused the star's death through negligence.

The legislation containing the offer had been delayed over its description of Gibraltar as a \"colony\". The European Parliament approved the law on Thursday, meaning it will come into effect once EU states have given it the final sign-off. The final draft includes the description of Gibraltar as a \"colony of the British Crown\" in a footnote. It was backed by a parliamentary committee on Wednesday, after the British MEP piloting its passage through the assembly was replaced. Labour's Claude Moraes had criticised the description, calling it \"opportunistic\" and \"unnecessary\". He said he had been looking for a compromise over replacing the description but had been forced out of the role after \"bullying\" from EU states. His replacement, Bulgarian MEP Sergei Stanishev, also criticised EU states' insistence on the term, which he described as \"irresponsible\". But he said the European Parliament also wanted to avoid the need to re-introduce visas, which he said would cause \"chaos\" for British and EU citizens. The new legislation would come into effect immediately following a no-deal Brexit, or after the planned transition period if there is a deal. It would allow trips to the EU and four countries in the passport-free Schengen area for up to three months within any six-month period. It would mean the UK would join a list of around 60 countries whose nationals do not require a visa for short stays in the EU. However Britons will still need to pay €7 (£6.30) every three years to travel to EU countries, because of a new security system for Schengen zone countries. The EU had planned to introduce the European Travel Information and Authorisation System (ETIAS) before the UK decided to leave the EU. The row over the description of Gibraltar flared up earlier this year, when the UK's ambassador to the EU objected to its inclusion in a draft. At the time a UK government spokesperson said: \"Gibraltar is not a colony and it is completely inappropriate to describe it in this way. \"Gibraltar is a full part of the UK family and has a mature and modern constitutional relationship with the UK.\" Gibraltar was ceded to Great Britain in the 1713 Treaty of Utrecht, but Spain has continued to press its claim for sovereignty - which is rejected by both the UK and the residents of Gibraltar itself.

            "input": "By Owen AmosBBC News, Washington DC There are many words to describe the 12 months since Mr Trump was elected. Smooth is not one of them. Mr Trump won despite getting almost three million fewer votes than Hillary Clinton. Since then, there have been sackings, spats with NFL players, and sabre-rattling with North Korea. His approval rating has fallen, and a special counsel is investigating the election itself. But his supporters say a booming economy and improved border security prove they were right to take a gamble on an outsider. So would the president win again now? Verdict 1: Trump is in trouble After shocking the world in November 2016, Mr Trump sent Allan Lichtman a handwritten note. \"Professor - congrats - good call,\" it said. The note was written on a print-out of a Washington Post article from 23 September 2016. In the article, Professor Lichtman said that - despite what most experts thought - Mr Trump was heading for the White House. For the ninth presidential election in a row, he called it right. So how would Mr Trump do in a hypothetical election today? \"There are probably enough negative keys to predict his defeat,\" says Professor Lichtman, who teaches at American University. The professor uses 13 \"keys\" to predict elections. They focus on the incumbent party, and cover the economy, scandal, the candidates' charisma, and other areas. It is \"very difficult\" to call an early, hypothetical election, Professor Lichtman says. For example: one of his \"keys\" is the mid-term elections, which haven't happened yet. But he says things aren't looking good for the president, with a lack of significant achievements and \"scandals piling up\", although the economy is currently a positive. Mr Trump himself is also a drag on his chances, he says. \"The very, very negative personal ratings would count against him.\" The professor also downplays the importance of his opponent. \"Only one of my 13 keys has anything to do with the opposing candidate,\" he says. He thinks the scandals are so great, he wrote a book predicting Mr Trump's impeachment. Does he stand by that? \"You bet I'm standing by it,\" he says. Verdict 2: Trump would beat Clinton, but could lose to a different Democrat The Trafalgar Group - a small polling firm from Atlanta, Georgia - didn't just forecast Trump's win. They forecast the margin. So, one year on, how would a rematch go? \"If it's the same match-up, I don't think there's any question,\" says Robert Cahaly, the group's senior strategist. \"Trump would win again.\" Trafalgar has been \"in the field\" in 12 states this year, and always measures Trump's approval. \"Trump is still doing things that energise the people who brought him to the White House,\" says Mr Cahaly. Such as? \"The NFL thing. Anyone who thinks the NFL thing has hurt Trump among the people who won the swing states is completely crazy.\" But what about the Russian links? The special counsel indicting Mr Trump's former campaign chairman? \"There are strong Russian connections with Hillary now,\" he says. \"The idea there's something fishy going on with Hillary, if nothing else, has counter-balanced any accusation against Trump.\" But there is a caveat. \"My personal opinion has always been the Republican Party was very lucky Joe Biden wasn't the nominee. \"He appeals to the same demographic as Trump. It would have been a battle royal in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan.\" Verdict 3: Don't rule out another Trump victory Since 20 January, Gallup has carried out a daily poll, asking Americans whether they approve of the job the president is doing. The numbers aren't great. From June, Mr Trump's approval rating has usually been below 40%. On 29 October, it was just 33%. But, says Frank Newport, Gallup's editor-in-chief, that doesn't mean he would lose a hypothetical election. \"He may be trending down a little, but if you look at the big picture from March or so, there's not a dramatic change,\" he says. Gallup also tracked Mr Trump's popularity before the election. \"He's unpopular now and he was unpopular then,\" says Mr Newport.

You must be using a modern browser with Javascript enabled to view our results maps. \"He lost the popular vote (in 2016) and he managed to squeak in the electoral college. \"I wouldn't rule out the possibility, with the same opponent, he could pull that off again.\" Mr Newport, however, will not put his neck on the line. \"I absolutely would not say he would win,\" says Mr Newport. \"I neither confirm nor deny.\" A year since Trump upset the odds Verdict 4: The Democrats need someone special to beat Trump Helmut Norpoth - a political science professor at Stony Brook University in New York - also forecast Mr Trump's win in 2016. \"If you look at his approval rating, it's abysmal,\" he says. \"It's the worst any president has had [at this stage in his presidency]. It looks like a long shot - but it was a long shot for him to win in the first place.\" So - in a hypothetical election against Hillary - who would he put his money on? \"I would bet that he would win again,\" he says. \"He would beat her again.\" Like Robert Cahaly from the Trafalgar Group, he thinks a different Democrat could have a better chance. But he doesn't know who that might be. \"I think Democrats don't realise what kind of a special candidate they had in Barack Obama,\" he says. \"They had Bill Clinton, they had Obama, but these guys don't come around every year. I don't know who, at this point, would have that kind of appeal.\" Verdict 5: Trump would beat Clinton, but not Joe Biden The answer to Professor Norpoth's question, says Professor Barbara Perry, might be the previous vice-president. \"If tomorrow we put Donald Trump up against Joe Biden, I think Joe Biden would win,\" says Professor Perry, the director of presidential studies at the University of Virginia's Miller Center. The problem with that plan, she says, is that Mr Biden will be 77 when the 2020 election is due. So if Mr Trump faced Mrs Clinton tomorrow? \"I would say, against Hillary, he would win,\" she says. \"His win (in 2016) was multi-causal of course. But what ultimately put him over the top was the Hillary factor in those three states - Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin.\" Verdict 6: Trump would beat Hillary - so Democrats need to think differently On 18 October last year - almost three weeks before the election - Irish bookmaker Paddy Power was sure of the result. So sure, in fact, they paid out early. Sadly for them, they called it wrong: they paid out on Hillary. Their mistake cost them $4.5m. Since then, they've appointed a Head of Trump Betting, Joe Lee. \"On election day last year, Trump went in as a 4/1 underdog,\" he says. \"That more or less gave him a 20% chance. If we were going to market again, tomorrow or next week, we'd probably be closer to 50-50.\" Trump has been strong on terrorism in the last few days, and on other topics that resonate with his core supporters, he says. So, in the hypothetical election - Trump v Hillary part two - where would this bookmaker place his money? \"Oh, I'd absolutely go with Trump,\" he says. \"No question or doubt about it.\" Like the professors and pollsters, Paddy Power thinks Mr Trump's chances are \"all down to the calibre of candidate the Democrats roll out\". The bookmaker has taken money on - among others - Mark Zuckerberg and Oprah Winfrey, while the Hawaiian congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard has been backed into 20/1. For now, though, Mr Trump is calling the shots. The bad news for the president? Paddy Power has him 5/4 to be impeached - down from 9/4 before the special counsel's indictments.",

However, for the 1,200 workers behind the headlines, the reality of what this means for them is beginning to set in. But many local businesses and groups are doing their bit to try and ease the blow. Football team Ballymena United offered free admission to \"all Wrightbus employees\" for their upcoming Irish Premier League match against Cliftonville. \"It's a very small compensation for losing your job but we thought we would give them something,\" said Don Sterling, vice chairman of Ballymena United. \"The community and a lot of Wrights' employees would have supported Ballymena United through the years, so we're just trying to give them something back.\" 'Especially tragic' Mr Sterling said the closure of the bus builder was \"especially tragic\" as it was a local business. \"Wrights was a local firm, formed by Ballymena people, for Ballymena people.\" The football club's gesture didn't go unnoticed by Sir Rod Stewart, one of the best-selling musicians of all time and an ardent Celtic fan. In a tweet the Grammy award-winner described the football team's gesture as \"wonderful\" and \"charitable\". \"There should be more of this in football\", he added. Gareth Cochrane from the Sizzlin' Sausage in Ballymoney has been offering free fries to Wrightbus workers. \"We know how hard times are, these small wee gestures go a long way when there's a lot of people\", he said. \"We've had businesses that we had to close, so we were completely sympathetic with everybody and we try and help anybody where we can. \"There's a kindness and humbleness in Ballymoney, when someone's in trouble they are very good at pulling together and making a team effort to try and help.\" Although there is still a sense of anger in the area at what has happened, the support for Wrightbus employees from local businesses and organisations has been \"very clear\", according to Ulster Unionist Party leader Robin Swann. \"It goes back to that sense of identity that people in Ballymena have,\" he said. \"I think it's something that the Ballymena people should be proud of. \"No matter what adversity comes, they do come together. \"They come together when they need to but unfortunately in the circumstances that they have to do that it is a real blow to the town.\"",

In a statement, Christine and Emma-Jayne Cullen said: \"He was Dad, husband, best friend and soulmate. \"The legacy he leaves is his strength - the strength to move forward whatever that may look like.\" Stephen Ardley, mayor of Lowestoft - where Mr Cullen lived - said: \"My heartfelt sympathy goes out to not only the Cullen family, but to all the families and friends that have been affected by this devastating act of cruelty. \"I was walking along that very same beach eight days earlier. My wife and I used to go for a walk on it every morning, so it really brings it home.\" Stephen Mellor Stephen Mellor, 59, from Bodmin in Cornwall, was killed as he attempted to shield his wife Cheryl, 55, who survived the attack. His wife, a retired psychiatric nurse, survived by pretending to be dead after she was shot and injured. Mrs Mellor told the Plymouth Herald newspaper: \"Someone came over and said they'd move me but the gunfire started up again so I just lay there. \"I just played dead. I was absolutely terrified. When the gunfire stopped I kept hearing foreign voices but I still played dead.\" In a tribute to her husband she called him her \"soul mate\" and said she would love him forever. Philip Heathcote Philip Heathcote, 52, and his wife Allison, 48, from Felixstowe in Suffolk, were due to celebrate their 30th wedding anniversary during their time in Tunisia.

In a statement reported on the Eastern Daily Press website, he said: \"For 30 years, Philip has shown my sister love, care and loyalty that was second to none. \"Philip was truly Allison's soulmate and they did everything together, sharing the same interests life offered. Philip was without question a member of our family that everyone dearly loved and enjoyed so many good times with.\" Christopher and Sharon Bell The family of rail worker Christopher Bell and his wife Sharon, from Leeds, said they were \"deeply saddened\" by their loss. Mr Bell worked for Northern Rail in Leeds and Mrs Bell was said to be a health and care worker. The couple were described as hard-working by their neighbours. The BBC understands the couple had two grown-up children and a third, teenage child. Mark Brady, a neighbour who had known the couple for 28 years, said: \"It's absolutely devastating, I've watched his kids grow up and his grandkids grow up. \"It's absolutely ridiculous and sad. They worked hard saving up to have nice holidays like this.\" Adrian Thompson, of Northern Rail, said Mr Bell was \"a much-loved and highly valued colleague who will be sadly missed\". Chris Dyer Chris Dyer, 32, an engineer from Watford, was on holiday with his wife Gina Van Dort when he was killed in the attack. She is reported as having clung on to her dead husband's hand as paramedics tried to get her to safety. Mr Dyer was a Jiu-Jitsu enthusiast and a member of Watford Gracie Jiu-Jitsu club. In a statement on Facebook, the group said: \"There are no words to express how incredibly shaken we are by Chris Dyer's unexpected, tragic death.\" A minute's silence was held outside Watford Football Club's ground, Vicarage Road, to remember Mr Dyer and other people killed in the attack. David Thompson David Thompson, 80, from Tadley in Hampshire, was a retired Atomic Weapons Establishment scientist. He was described by his neighbours as a \"wonderful man\". Tadley Town Council chairman David Leeks said the reaction in the town was one of \"pure shock\". Local residents told the BBC Mr Thompson was a keen walker who kept himself very physically fit, having undergone heart surgery. They added he would do up to 60 press ups a day and loved holidays. John Welch and Eileen Swannack John Welch, 74, and his partner of eight years Eileen Swannack, 73, loved Tunisia and had stayed at the Hotel Riu Imperial Marhaba twice a year for the past four years. Mr Welch was one of three siblings, and had three children, four grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. The retired plumber was born in Abertillery, south Wales, but moved to Corsham at an early age and lived the rest of his life in the town. He met Mrs Swannack, a widow, following the death of his partner Nanette in 2005. \"As well as travelling, he loved to socialise. We were so pleased when he met Eileen as he had someone special to share these things with,\" his family said. Mrs Swannack's family paid tribute to her saying: \"She had a heart of gold and was always first to offer help to others... She exuded youthfulness and had a real sense of fun and mischief.\" She was one of five siblings and moved to the village of Biddestone with her husband Eddie in the 1960s. Angie and Ray Fisher Angie, 69, and Ray Fisher, 75, were from Leicester. The couple had been together since they were about 15 and at their funeral Reverend Stephen Burnham said they \"had a deep love and so much enjoyed getting old together\". Son Adam and daughter Donna said it was \"a source of comfort they were enjoying a holiday when they were taken\". Donna added: \"Dad loved to travel and share a drink with others. He was very friendly and full of gusto. It was perhaps apt, or ironic, that he died on holiday.\" Mr Fisher's brother, Roland, described him as a typical Leicester lad, who liked fishing and kept birds of prey.",

She stands 112ft (34m) high at her tallest point, her forehead, and is 1,300ft (400m) long. She is made up of 1.5m tonnes of rock, soil, stone and clay. During a visit to the site last year, Charles Jencks, who began his designs for Northumberlandia in 2005, admitted the artwork was \"much bigger than I ever thought\". Her creation was part of the planning application made by the Banks Group and Blagdon Estate when they requested to create what is now the largest surface mine in England, Shotton Surface Mine. Made from the by-products of that opencast mine, the figure is created in layers. First is a core of rock, then clay and lastly soil, topped with grass seed that will withstand being walked on. Some of her features are artistically highlighted with stone from the mine that is often used for the restoration of old buildings. Princess Anne will visit Northumberlandia on Monday to officially declare the site open, although the public will not be able to see it for themselves until Wednesday. Katie Perkin, communications manager for the Banks Group, said: \"It cost £3m for us to create Northumberlandia. We wanted to give something back. \"When we end a project on a mining site we restore it. With this project we heard there was some local concern about a negative effect on tourism, so we decided to go one step further than usual and create a tourist attraction to leave as our legacy. \"We held previews and worked with Disability North, amongst other local groups, to make sure the site was as open to everyone as possible, and I think we've succeeded.\" Paths circle over the reclining body, offering views of Cramlington and a rare look into the nearby mine. The Snowy Owl, a pub just to the right of Northumberlandia, will undoubtedly benefit from the development, but manager Gina Ward is also looking forward to the opening for personal reasons. She said: \"I suppose it will bring extra business to the area, and that's magnificent, but I love the idea and I love that they will be making it into a nature reserve. I think it is going to be brilliant.\" 'A new Angel' Sue Stevenson, who works down the road at a petrol station, feels differently. She thinks the money could have been spent on something more for the children in the area, but admitted: \"I'm not a walker so it's not my kind of thing.\" Her comments were overheard by Colin Battensby, from Blyth, who works in Cramlington. He said he travels past the site every day and thinks the creation will attract people to the area. He said: \"I think people will come and see it like The Angel (of the North). \"I don't know if people will come as a holiday just to see it, but if you're in the area, you'd go.\" The Banks Group says there has already been a positive impact on the local community. Mrs Perkin said the Shotton Surface Miners were asked to contribute their ideas during development of the project. She said: \"We employ about 150 people at the mine, and around 50% of those are locals. \"We saw real artistic flair in some of the staff and offered them a chance to take part. They made this. \"Local hands made this structure that will last for generations to come.\" Northumberlandia will be open to the public for the first time between noon and 16:00 BST on 5 and 8 September, with further information on subsequent opening times available on the Northumberlandia website.",

Microsoft said it made $6bn in profit during the same period, a jump of more than 17% from a year ago. Its earnings, which beat market forecasts, came despite a lukewarm reception for Windows 8 and a decline in global PC sales during the period. Meanwhile IBM reported a fall in first quarter profits and revenues after the technology services company failed to complete deals in time and was hit by the depreciation of the Japanese yen. 'Fantastic' margins Analysts said that Microsoft's profits were boosted in part by changing the way its sold its products to corporate clients, as well as cost-cutting measures. \"Microsoft has successfully transitioned into an enterprise software company and these results show that,\" said Kim Caughey Forrest, a senior analyst at Fort Pitt Capital. \"The strength of server and tools, and the actual way they sell licences to business, is making up for the missing PC sales. \"The margins are fantastic and the online services division seems to lose less money each quarter,\" she added. Meanwhile Google's profits were driven up by growing income from online advertising, which helped boost overall revenues to nearly $14bn for the quarter. That is up from $10.7bn during the same period last year. The results also suggested that Google may be beginning to build confidence with advertisers. The amount paid per advert is still declining, but at a slower rate than last year. Management changes Despite the stronger-than-expected numbers, Microsoft announced that its chief financial officer (CFO), Peter Klien, would be leaving the firm at the end of June. Mr Klein, who has been with the tech giant for 11 years, is the latest in a series of executives to leave the company. His departure comes just months after the Steven Sinofsky, the head of Windows division, quit the firm. The departures of the two senior figures have come as there have been questions over the leadership of chief executive Steve Ballmer. These doubts have been driven in part by slowing growth, and amid concerns that Microsoft had not been able to make a significant impact in the new and fast-growing sectors such as the smartphone and tablet PC markets. The leading smartphone and tablet PC makers, such as Samsung and Apple, rely more on operating systems such as Android and iOS, rather than Microsoft's Windows, which has enjoyed a dominance in the traditional PC market. The fear for Microsoft is that as more people use smartphones and tablet PCs to access the internet, it may see its market share decline. These concerns have grown after Windows 8, which is designed to make PCs work more like tablet computers, was greeted with mixed reviews at its launch last October. More positively, analysts said that Mr Klien's departure from the firm suggested that an imminent departure of chief executive Steve Ballmer was unlikely. \"The CFO departure is a little bit troubling. We've had a lot of executives leaving Microsoft recently,\" said Brendan Barnicle, an analyst with Pacific Crest Securities. \"This also makes a departure by Steve Ballmer less likely. It would be very unusual to have a CEO leave soon after a CFO departure.\" Yen impact Also on Thursday, IBM reported first quarter earnings of $3bn, down 1% from a year earlier, with revenues falling 5% to $23.41bn - lower than analysts' expectations. IBM said its results had been hit by delays in completing deals, with about $400m worth of contracts that were expected to be counted in the first quarter of the year now being moved into the second. In addition, the company said that the recent weakening of the yen had affected its earnings. The depreciation of the yen means that it earns fewer dollars from sales in Japan. \"Despite a solid start and good client demand, we did not close a number of software and mainframe transactions that have moved into the second quarter,'' said IBM's chief executive, Ginni Rometty. \"The services business performed as expected with strong profit growth and significant new business in the quarter.'' IBM's chief financial officer Mark Loughridge said it was \"hard to measure\" whether the recent series of US budget cuts - the sequester - had affected the firm. \"I can tell you that our US federal business was down 13%, which was certainly a drag on the US performance,\" he said.",

The comments came as the bank reported a sharp drop in first-quarter corporate and investment bank revenues. New focus The BBC understands that thousands of jobs could be at risk. \"These reductions are painful but regrettably unavoidable to ensure our bank's competitiveness in the long run,\" Mr Sewing said in a statement. \"Deutsche Bank is deeply rooted in Europe - here we want to provide our clients access to global financing and treasury solutions,\" Mr Sewing said, just weeks after becoming chief executive. \"This is what we will focus on more decisively.\" This strategy will be a marked reversal from Deutsche Bank's previous one of global investment banking expansion, which it has pursued for the past 30 years. The measures will incur higher restructuring costs, and include a scaling-back of Deutsche Bank's business with hedge funds. They come after a review of the investment bank, known internally as Project Colombo, which could yet lead to further cuts. Mr Sewing, who has been with the bank for his entire career, was previously responsible for its private and commercial bank operations. Previous chief executive John Cryan was sacked earlier this month. The search for his replacement is understood to have begun after the bank reported an annual loss of €500m at the end of February. That followed losses of €1.4bn in 2016, and €6.8bn in 2015 after restructuring and litigation costs. Revenues slide Deutsche Bank has 97,000 employees overall, with about 40,000 employees in its corporate and investment banking arm. The bank has 10,000 employees in the US, with the majority of these being employed in corporate and investment banking. In Asia-Pacific, it has 21,000 employees. Deutsche Bank has long grappled with falling revenues. For the first quarter of this year, it reported a drop in revenues of 5% to €7bn (£6.1bn), while its corporate and investment bank reported a 13% drop in revenues to €3.8bn.

            "input": "By Kevin PeacheyPersonal finance reporter All of this is likely to leave residents and businesses counting the cost, and looking to insurers to help them get back on their feet soon. Cover and compensation can vary significantly depending on the level of impact and small print in policies, but other automatic protection may be in place. My home or business is flooded, what should I do? Safety is the key priority, so residents and business owners should only return to their properties when it is safe to do so. Those affected by the storm should contact their insurer as soon as possible. They will receive advice, and should avoid throwing things away where possible. However, they should be prepared for some delay. \"It is going to be a bit chaotic over the next few days, because the insurance industry does cater for surge events but loss adjustors are going to be stretched really thin as they are dragged all over the country,\" Alex Balcombe, from insurance loss assessors Harris Balcombe, told Radio 5 live's Wake Up to Money programme. \"There are not enough companies that specialise in drying these properties out and preventing further damage. We are not a country that has these events every two minutes. \"So you need to do whatever you can to protect your own property, and crucially look after your family.\" The Association of British Insurers (ABI) says most home buildings, contents and commercial business policies cover storm damage. Commercial policies will cover damage to premises and the stock. Business interruption cover, which may be included or purchased separately as part of an insurance agreement, will cover additional trading costs, such as hiring temporary alternative trading premises if necessary, the ABI says. Comprehensive motor insurance covers the cost of repairing or replacing vehicles damaged by storms. There have been some improvements to the insurance system in areas that have been hit before, such as parts of West Yorkshire, under the Flood Re scheme. As became clear during previous floods, this does not necessarily mean everyone can get cover. Do I have to go to work? Flexibility is key to ensuring staff stay safe, but businesses continue to operate as normally as possible, according to conciliation service Acas. \"Workers may be concerned about travelling into work over the next few days and some employers will have concerns about staff absences impacting their productivity and performance,\" says Acas chief executive Susan Clews. Employees should contact their boss as early as possible if there are problems getting to work, and employers should try to offer flexible hours, shift swaps, or the chance to work from home. There is no automatic right to be paid if you are unable to get to work, but unpaid time off should be granted if, for example, your children's school is shut and you need to look after them. This may be a particular issue in Scotland as the snow arrives. If you are available for work, but the workplace has been closed, then you are entitled to normal pay. Do I receive compensation if my power was cut off? Some homes have been without power through the night, making life particularly uncomfortable during the extreme weather. There are rules in place that mean compensation may be paid by the local electricity distributor. The level of compensation is £70, with further payments of £70 if the situation continues for a long time. However, whether this is payable, and when, depends on the severity of the situation in each area. The Energy Ombudsman, an impartial referee following complaints, points out that residents without power should be kept updated on the situation and on their right to compensation by their local distributor. My travel plans were disrupted, what are my rights? A host of rail routes have been affected by the storm, owing to fallen trees and debris on the line, as well as flooding. A number of train operating companies have issued advice for customers. Generally, refunds are available for cancelled trains, or if you do not want to travel owing to the weather. For delays, irrespective of the reason, many companies offer an automatic compensation service, although a claim still needs to be made. It can be more complicated for those with season tickets. Some companies still operate under rules where they are not obliged to give any kind of refund if the delay is beyond their control, and severe weather does fall into that category. If you are booked on a specific service which is cancelled, then you must check with staff instead of simply getting on the next available train to your destination. Is there help available if my flight was cancelled? There is more clarity for planes than for trains. If a flight is cancelled then you can take a refund, or an alternative route or flight to your destination. You must talk to the airline, rather than booking it yourself. The airline should look after you, such as providing meals if it is a long delay, but they do not have to pay the extra compensation that would be due had the delay been the airline's fault.",

He won four Grammy Awards and received 20 nominations between 1960 and 85. A self-taught musician, Bream learned playing to radio dance bands with the lute his father bought from a sailor on London's Charing Cross Road in 1947. As a child prodigy, his early recitals led to him being \"acknowledged as one of the most remarkable artists of the post-war era\", according to the Royal Academy of Music. After studying piano and composition at the Royal College of Music, and completing national service, he became one of the most prolific and best-selling recording artists in classical music. He was made an OBE in 1964 and a CBE in 1985. His repertoire included new works by composers including Benjamin Britten, Sir William Walton and Sir Michael Tippett. British cultural commentator and journalist Norman Lebrecht expressed his \"sadness\" at Bream's death. Prestigious London venue Wigmore Hall called Bream \"one of the greatest guitarists of all time\", adding: \"Julian gave his first performance at Wigmore Hall in 1951. He will be greatly missed. RIP.\" German classical guitarist Heike Matthiesen called the musician \"My idol, my lifelong inspiration as musician and artist\", while Helen Sanderson, director of National Youth Guitar Ensemble, said Bream was \"my hero forever\". Bream's passion for the Elizabethan lute resulted in him being given solo recitals in concert halls around the world, as well as programmes of poetry and music with the actress Dame Peggy Ashcroft. During the 1960s, he also founded the Julian Bream Consort a period-instrument ensemble with Bream as lutenist, putting the instrument firmly back on centre stage. During a masterclass in California in 1991, he told the students: \"Guitar was just a hobby, but it seemed to me that the instrument had possibilities, not least of which was that there was no one else playing it. \"I could be, as it were, the best boy in an all-girls school.\" In 2008, he set up the The Julian Bream Trust to provide financial help for the less well-off, young and gifted music students, and to continue the work of commissioning new compositions for the guitar. Bream told The Guardian in 2013 that he had to \"renounce making music seriously\" in 2011 after being knocked off his feet by a neighbour's dog while out walking. He broke both hips and injured his left hand in the fall, but said: \"There's nothing sad about not playing any more. The thing I feel a little annoyed about is that I know I'm a better musician than I was at 70, but I can't prove it.\" He added that he was still able to manage a few scales and arpeggios because \"it's very good for one's brain and muscular system to work in harmony. If you keep up your playing it just keeps things ticking over\". Speaking about his career, he said: \"I devoted my life to music for a reason, and the reason wasn't because I wanted to get on or make money, but to try to fulfil myself and also to give people pleasure. That's been my credo.\" Follow us on Facebook, or on Twitter @BBCNewsEnts. If you have a story suggestion email entertainment.news@bbc.co.uk.",

US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has accepted all 29 recommendations contained in the report. The 11 September attack saw Ambassador Christopher Stevens, as well as three other US officials, killed. The ambassador died of smoke inhalation when he was trapped alone in the burning consulate building, after armed men had stormed the compound. The assault triggered a major political row over who knew what and when. As a result, an independent panel - the Accountability Review Board- was charged with investigating the incident. The report identified the state department's Bureau of Diplomatic Security and Bureau of Near East Affairs for criticism over their apparent lack of cooperation and ensuing confusion with regards to protection. \"Systematic failures and leadership and management deficiencies at senior levels within two bureaus of the State Department resulted in a Special Mission security posture that was inadequate for Benghazi and grossly inadequate to deal with the attack that took place,\" the panel concluded. However, the review has not suggested disciplinary action be taken against any individuals. 'Profoundly lacking' Despite \"a lack of transparency, responsiveness, and leadership\" among certain senior state department officials, the report found no \"reasonable cause\" that any specific individuals had \"engaged in misconduct or wilfully ignored\" their responsibilities. It also said there had been \"no immediate, specific\" intelligence about the 11 September attack or threats to the consulate. In a letter to congressional committees, Mrs Clinton said she had ordered the state department to implement the investigation's findings \"quickly and completely\". She outlined some steps the agency would take, including sending hundreds of Marine guards to US missions abroad and assigning a state department official to oversee \"high threat posts\". In addition, Mrs Clinton said the state department would request more funding from Congress to make improvements to security. The probe concluded that the US personnel had \"performed with courage and readiness to risk their lives to protect their colleagues in a near-impossible situation\". But the Benghazi mission had nevertheless been hampered by a lack of resources. The reliance on armed \"but poorly skilled\" local militiamen and contract guards was \"misplaced,\" the report said. \"The solution requires a more serious and sustained commitment from Congress to support State Department needs which constitute a small percentage of the full national budget and that spent for national security,\" according to the review. The probe also criticised the Libyan government's response to the attack, characterising it as \"profoundly lacking\". The Obama administration's handling of the attack in Benghazi has become the focus of Republican criticism.

He says La Paz FC is a sign of how far Colombia has come since the peace deal was signed in November of 2016. \"Our team represents peace and I am proud of being part of it,\" he says. \"We work well together because we support each other. If we don't set an example on the field, then nobody will,\" he says of his team. 'Tolerance is key' La Paz FC is the creation of human rights lawyer Félix Mora who conceived the idea of promoting reconciliation through football in 2012, when the peace talks had only just begun. You may also be interested in: \"We want to change rubber guerrilla boots for football boots,\" he explains. Colombians are passionate about football and their love of the game was shared by rival factions even at the height of the conflict. On match days, rebels carrying rifles and the chained hostages they were holding would sometimes sit around a radio or TV in a Farc jungle hideout to cheer on the national team. Aware that the rebels would be tuned in, the government would broadcast messages such as \"your family and Colombia are waiting for you to become one team\" to urge them to demobilise. But Mr Mora is not just trying to reach former Farc members but also the right-wing paramilitaries who fought them, as well as victims and members of the military. Before the match against Cogua, coach Sebastián Acosta gathers the players in a circle to remind them of the team's values - respect, teamwork and tolerance. The latter is key when they come across those Colombians who are not ready to see victims and perpetrators playing together as one team. Lost youth La Paz usually plays in areas that have been affected by the conflict. Before they play, they run workshops for children in which they urge them to try out for the team. In so doing, they have uncovered some hidden footballing talent. Eighty-six players tried out for La Paz FC in February. Twenty-five were selected based on their talent as players and also their links to the conflict, be it as victims or as those who were members of, or had links to, illegal groups. They range in age from 17 to 35. Many of the older ones saw their dreams of becoming professional football players wane as the conflict dragged on. Some of them lack speed and agility but out of the 10 games they have played they have won eight, not bad for a team that has barely settled. \"Most boys started late, and that hinders their progress, but they will have to show they can perform to stay,\" their 28-year-old coach says. Big league Their ultimate goal is to reach the professional league, but that has proved tricky so far with Colombian football officials arguing football and politics should be kept separate. \"Some people who refuse to give us a chance to compete in the league now boast that they have former combatants on their teams,\" Mr Mora complains. The team is also regularly met with hostility by those who oppose the peace deal. But midfielder Maicol Vera dismissed the notion that La Paz FC is a \"Farc team\". \"It's the team of opportunities,\" says the 20-year old whose family had links to right-wing paramilitaries - the sworn enemies of the Farc. Vera is good friends with goalie Luis Rodríguez, who served in the military and saw many colleagues killed by the paramilitaries. \"Regardless of what a person has been, we are friends on the field,\" Rodríguez says. \"In this war we were taught to have enemies, and here we are reminded that enemies have families and problems, too.\" Despite the footballers' enthusiasm and camaraderie many potential players refrain from joining La Paz for fear of the stigma it carries. Meanwhile, on the pitch, La Paz managed another win but in the changing room they were reminded by their coach that what they are playing for is a higher aim - peace.",

            "input": "By Iain WatsonPolitical correspondent, BBC News It wants MPs and activists to submit a motion at the Labour conference next month, committing the party to backing a new referendum on the final deal. It stresses that it is not an attempt to change the party leadership too. Campaign leaders think the best way to get a new referendum is to get the main opposition party to back it officially. At the weekend, the People's Vote commissioned polling which suggested voters targeted by Labour were more likely to back a referendum - and to favour remaining in the EU - than the electorate as a whole. It hopes that this might encourage a change in approach by the party's leadership. The party's current policy position is to respect the result of the 2016 Brexit referendum, and not to call for a new one but to \"leave all options on the table\" if a deal is not agreed by Parliament. Those options would include a new election, and what shadow chancellor John McDonnell calls \"democratic engagement\", which might mean a further referendum if there is deadlock. The People's Vote campaign believes a general election is unlikely so is pushing to get the issue of a referendum debated at next month's Labour conference. This is not guaranteed as the conference as a whole would need to decide that this would be a priority for debate. Even if it clears this hurdle, some left-wing members of the party - who usually back Jeremy Corbyn - would need to offer their support, for any motion on Brexit to be successful, With this need to appeal to Corbyn supporters in mind, the internal memo to members of the People's Vote campaign does explicitly state that any change in Labour policy to support a new referendum should not be used to undermine or damage the party leadership. Many of the more prominent Labour politicians associated with the campaign have been critics of Jeremy Corbyn. So the memo - drafted by Tom Baldwin, a former adviser to Ed Miliband when he was Labour leader - urges supporters to make clear that the People's vote should not be seen as a \"nascent\" centre party, a fear of some on the left. It emphasises that \"whatever views supporters have about the overall direction of the Labour Party, the campaign should not be used to attack Jeremy Corbyn personally\" and that the tone the campaign takes will be crucial to its success. With the left-wing group Momentum about to consult its members on Brexit, the People's Vote is hopeful that Labour's policy could change before Parliament votes on the final deal.",

            "input": "Energy Minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman said the strikes had reduced crude oil production by 5.7m barrels a day - about half the kingdom's output. A Yemeni Houthi rebel spokesman said it had deployed 10 drones in the attacks. US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo blamed the attacks on Iran saying there was no evidence they came from Yemen. The Saudis lead a Western-backed military coalition supporting Yemen's government, while Iran backs the Houthi rebels. In a statement carried by the Saudi Press Agency (SPA), Prince Abdulaziz said the attacks \"resulted in a temporary suspension of production at Abqaiq and Khurais plants\". He said that part of the reduction would be compensated for by drawing on Aramco's oil stocks. The situation was under control at both facilities, Aramco CEO Amin Nasser said, adding that no casualties had been reported in the attacks. In a tweet, Mike Pompeo described the attack as \"an unprecedented attack on the world's energy supply\". \"We call on all nations to publicly and unequivocally condemn Iran's attacks,\" Mr Pompeo added. The US would work with its allies to ensure energy markets remain well supplied and \"Iran is held accountable for its aggression\", he added. Tensions between the US and Iran have escalated since Mr Trump abandoned a deal limiting Iran's nuclear activities last year and reinstated sanctions. The Houthi spokesman, Yahya Sarea, told al-Masirah TV, which is owned by the Houthi movement and is based in Beirut, that further attacks could be expected in the future. He said Saturday's attack was one of the biggest operations the Houthi forces had undertaken inside Saudi Arabia and was carried out in \"co-operation with the honourable people inside the kingdom\". TV footage showed a huge blaze at Abqaiq, site of Aramco's largest oil processing plant, while a second drone attack started fires in the Khurais oilfield. \"At 04:00 (01:00 GMT), the industrial security teams of Aramco started dealing with fires at two of its facilities in Abqaiq and Khurais as a result of... drones,\" the official Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported. \"The two fires have been controlled.\" Later, the SPA reported that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman had told US President Donald Trump in a telephone conversation that the kingdom was \"willing and able to confront and deal with this terrorist aggression\". The White House said Mr Trump had offered US support to help Saudi Arabia defend itself. United Nations envoy Martin Griffiths described the attacks as \"extremely worrying\" in a statement in which he called on all parties in the Yemen conflict to exercise restraint.+ Abqaiq is about 60km (37 miles) south-west of Dhahran in Saudi Arabia's Eastern Province, while Khurais, some 200km further south-west, has the country's second largest oilfield. Saudi security forces foiled an attempt by al-Qaeda to attack the Abqaiq facility with suicide bombers in 2006. Production cut could hit world prices Analysis by BBC business correspondent Katie Prescott Aramco is not only the world's biggest oil producer, it is also one of the world's most profitable businesses. The Khurais oilfield produces about 1% of the world's oil, and Abqaiq is the company's largest facility - with the capacity to process 7% of the global supply. Even a brief or partial disruption could affect the company, and the oil supply, given their size. There was a sharp intake of breath as analysts I spoke to today digested the information that reports suggest that half of Saudi Arabia's oil production could have been knocked offline by these attacks. The country produces 10% of the world's crude oil. Cutting this in half could have a significant effect on the oil price come Monday when markets open. The success of the drone strike shows the vulnerability of Aramco's infrastructure, at a time when it is trying to show itself in its best light while gearing up to float on the stock market. And it raises concerns that escalating tensions in the region could pose a broader risk to oil, potentially threatening the fifth of the world's supply that goes through the critical Strait of Hormuz. An attack method open to all This latest attack underlines the strategic threat posed by the Houthis to Saudi Arabia's oil installations. The growing sophistication of the Houthis' drone operations is bound to renew the debate as to where this capability comes from. Have the Houthis simply weaponised commercial civilian drones or have they had significant assistance from Iran? The Trump administration is likely to point the finger squarely at Tehran, but experts vary in the extent to which they think Iran is facilitating the drone campaign. The Saudi air force has been pummelling targets in Yemen for years. Now the Houthis have a capable, if much more limited, ability to strike back. It shows that the era of armed drone operations being restricted to a handful of major nations is now over. Drone technology, albeit of varying degrees of sophistication, is available to all - from the US to China, Israel and Iran - and from the Houthis to Hezbollah. Who are the Houthis? The Iran-aligned Houthi rebel movement has been fighting the Yemeni government and a Saudi-led coalition. Yemen has been at war since 2015, when President Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi was forced to flee the capital Sanaa by the Houthis. Saudi Arabia backs President Hadi, and has led a coalition of regional countries against the rebels. The coalition launches air strikes almost every day, while the Houthis often fire missiles into Saudi Arabia. Mr Sarea, the Houthi group's military spokesman, told al-Masirah that operations against Saudi targets would \"only grow wider and will be more painful than before, so long as their aggression and blockade continues\". Houthi fighters were blamed for drone attacks on the Shaybah natural gas liquefaction facility last month, and on other oil facilities in May. There have been other sources of tension in the region, often stemming from the rivalry between Saudi Arabia and Iran. Saudi Arabia and the US both blamed Iran for attacks in the Gulf on two oil tankers in June and July, allegations Tehran denied. In May four tankers, two of them Saudi-flagged, were damaged by explosions within the UAE's territorial waters in the Gulf of Oman. Tension in the vital shipping lanes worsened when Iran shot down a US surveillance drone over the Strait of Hormuz in June, leading a month later to the Pentagon announcing the deployment of US troops to Saudi Arabia.",

It began with 130 primary and secondary school pupils taking part in activities and challenges. The aim is to encourage STEM subjects - science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Activities include \"engineering in movies\" as well as the opportunity to meet businesses to discuss apprenticeship and job opportunities. The RAE said it was keen to build on the region's \"long history of engineering\" and support the untapped engineering potential within students from the area. It added it wanted to build a skills base to support many of the new engineering companies investing in south Wales. The project will provide free STEM \"enhancement and enrichment opportunities\" to eight secondary schools and five primary schools to \"create an engineering ethos\". The RAE will also work with colleges, businesses and the government. It has previously run similar engineering education projects in Barrow-in-Furness, Stoke-on-Trent, and Lowestoft in Suffolk. The Barrow-in-Furness project has been a \"huge success\", according to the organisation. Since 2008, it has helped provide more than 56,000 STEM \"engagement opportunities\" for students in the area. The academy said a recent review showed participation in core STEM subjects required for a career in engineering had seen a sharp rise, and outpaced the national average across England. The founder and chief executive of DBD international, Andrew Carlick, is one of the business leaders involved with the south Wales project. He has more than 25 years experience in the nuclear industry and the company's worked on Wylfa and the Trawsfynydd nuclear power stations. Mr Carlick will be talking about careers in engineering when he returns to his old school, Afon Taf High, to speak to pupils. There is estimated to be a need for about 20,700 more engineers in Wales by 2020, with many currently working in the industry approaching retirement. The Welsh Government has a target of creating 100,000 apprenticeships over the next five years. The number of engineering apprentices from the south Wales valleys - just over 500 - is the highest for three years. The latest figures for 2016-17 were published last month and show:",

But he conceded he looked like he was \"chewing a wasp\" as he accepted the peerage on Friday. Mr Prescott was Tony Blair's deputy for 10 years and was seen as the link between Labour's grass roots and the New Labour politicians at the top of the party. 'Too much flunkery' He stepped down as an MP at the general election and was made Lord Prescott in the Dissolution Honours - announced at the end of every Parliament. He took up his seat as Baron Prescott of Kingston-upon-Hull on Thursday, wearing traditional ermine robes to pledge allegiance to the Queen and sign official documents. Asked if he felt like a bit of a prat, Lord Prescott - known for his blunt manner - joked: \"I didn't feel a prat - I do think I was chewing a wasp at the time.\" The Daily Mail has reported Lord Prescott saying he did not want to go into the Lords in 2008 - although he denies it. And he told the Scotsman in 2008, when asked if he would take a peerage: \"I'm against too much flunkery and titles. But Paul [his wife Pauline] would like me to. I tell her, 'What do you want to be Lady Prescott for? You're a lady already'.\" Asked if he accepted people would call him a hypocrite, Lord Prescott told BBC One's The Andrew Marr Show: \"They can say that... these journalists, most of our politics is by these journalists who love to play that - it's the prat talk, if you like, in politics\". He added: \"I was against hereditaries, we got rid of 90% of them, we kept 10% as a compromise, it was wrong - it's that I wanted getting rid of.\" But he said he was impressed with the quality of debate in the Lords, particularly crossbench peer Lord Hoffmann's speech in a debate on the Defamation Bill, saying: \"You wouldn't have got that in the Commons.\" Asked if it was true he accepted the peerage because his wife Pauline wanted him to do so, Lord Prescott laughed and said: \"She's a wonderful woman... she makes her own mind but she said: 'Yes, I would like you to go in there', because I don't think she wanted me at home all the time.\" Lord Prescott, who is also campaigning to become the Labour Party Treasurer, told the programme: \"I'm still in politics, it's my life. I haven't put on slippers. \"I've got the Lords to put my case against the most reactionary government we are beginning to get.

However, he avoided arrest and was said to have carried on working as a doctor. Domestic and international pressure apparently prompted Fadl to surrender, campaign group Equality Now said. FGM was banned in Egypt in 2008 but the country still has one of the highest rates of the practice in the world. More than 90% of girls and women aged between 15 and 59 in the country have undergone the procedure in recent years, according to UN estimates. Suad Abu-Dayyeh, Middle East and North Africa Consultant for Equality Now, said Egypt must adopt a \"zero tolerance policy\" towards FGM, which includes taking swift action against the health workers who carry it out. Unless this is done, she said, \"Egyptian girls will continue to face this extreme human rights abuse\". Fadl was convicted in January 2015 over the death of al-Bataa, who was from a small farming community on the outskirts of the Nile Delta city of Mansoura. He was sentenced to two years in prison for manslaughter, as well as a further three months for performing FGM. However, he reportedly reached a deal with the girl's family that means he will no longer have to serve the manslaughter sentence - and is only liable for the three-month term for FGM. During the trial, prosecutors argued that al-Bataa had been forced to undergo FGM by her father. Fadl denied carrying out the procedure, saying he had only treated her for warts and that her death had been caused by an allergic reaction to penicillin. Both he and Suhair's father were cleared of any wrongdoing at an initial trial. But prosecutors appealed against the verdict and it was overturned in November 2015. Fadl's clinic was ordered to close for a year. Suhair's father was meanwhile given a three-month suspended sentence. However, Fadl continued practising intermittently after the conviction, according to Equality Now and a partner agency, the Center for Egyptian Women's Legal Assistance (CEWLA). Following further pressure, his medical license was revoked earlier this year.

            "input": "Maha YahyaCarnegie Middle East Center More than five million Syrians have left their country since the war started in 2011. Most are now in neighbouring countries, with about 3.5 million in Turkey and one million in Lebanon. More than half a million travelled to Germany, with smaller numbers in other European nations. To find out what changes they hope for, the Carnegie Middle East Center held a series of meetings involving about 320 refugees in Lebanon and Jordan. Here are four things they told us they would like to see. 1. Safety for their children Many of the refugees we spoke to were not enthusiastic about permanently resettling abroad. They spoke of fears about cultural change and discrimination against their children. But they were also deeply concerned about the dangers their children could face if they go back to Syria. A recent report published by the Lancet suggested that one in four civilian deaths in 2016 was of a child and that about 14,000 had been killed since the war started. Most of the parents we spoke to characterised Syria as a place of uncertainty and danger. Their wartime experience has left them cautious about doing anything to jeopardise their children's future. One mother, Aisha from Homs, asked us: \"Would anyone walk toward death on their feet?\" There was great fear of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. Many of those we spoke to felt the safety needed to raise children would not be possible under his regime, and while armed groups remained in the country. 2. An end to conscription The younger the refugee we spoke to, the less they wanted to return to Syria. Hassan, an unregistered young refugee living in Beirut, put it: \"Today, everyone who leaves Syria is considered a traitor.\" Like many others, he fears being accused of deserting his country and the possibility of reprisals. Young men in particular are concerned that they will be targeted by forced conscription into the army. Several recounted stories of young men who had returned to Syria only to get drafted and die at the front. Military service is compulsory for men from the age of 18. New laws have made it harder to avoid conscription, by reducing exemptions and imposing onerous fines for those who refuse to join up. Many young men spoke of their patriotism, the need to carry out civic duties and their respect for the army. However, a common sentiment was: \"It is important to serve the country, but I did not want to kill my brethren or serve the regime.\" 3. Homes to return to Among those who do hope to return to Syria - despite the dangers and economic problems - most have nowhere to stay. The widespread destruction of Syria's towns and cities by the Syrian military, the Islamic State group and international forces have left entire neighbourhoods in ruins. The World Bank estimates that 30% of Syrian homes have been completely destroyed, or damaged. Many undamaged properties are occupied by regime-affiliated forces, pro-Iran militias or other Syrians displaced within the country. Lamia, from a rural area close to Damascus, told us: \"They tell me that whichever house has an absentee owner is immediately occupied by the army, even if there is a tenant... They take the lease, throw the tenant out, and take the house.\" Many homes and buildings in Syria were built without permits, and most of the people we spoke to left without any documentation proving their ownership. Those returning home have little legal recourse to reclaim their properties - a task made worse by the destruction of those records which did exist. More stories like this: 4. Safety and security Of the refugees we spoke to, eight out of 10 fled Syria following an incident that made them fear for their safety. Many described arbitrary arrests by Syrian forces, the death of family or friends and the deteriorating security conditions in their neighbourhoods. Tareq, a young refugee from Homs, told us he had no trust in the idea that Syria is safe to return to and of his fears about the actions of Syrian military officers. \"I used to work as an undertaker in Syria. My job was to bury the martyrs,\" he said. \"When I saw what they had done to them, how they were cut up with knives - no way, there is no trust. Even if they secure everything we need, there is no trust.\" The overwhelming majority of those we spoke to saw their best chance of returning to a country where more than 350,000 people have been killed and 5.6m have become refugees, as the removal of President Assad. Even if jobs and services were available, few believed the security and stability they want would exist if he remained in power. Kholoud, a refugee from rural Damascus summed up her feelings: \"If Bashar al-Assad is removed and there is security in Syria, even if there is no food or drink, we would get flour and make it with our hands.\" Many also expressed concern over the presence of various armed foreign groups in the country and the general lawlessness that they represent. The majority of Syrians we spoke to also rejected the idea of a fragmented Syria, broken into parts controlled by different forces. A unified nation was seen as overwhelmingly important. Many also spoke of a Syria that strived for new values, including freedom, equality, and justice, in a country that is democratically governed under the rule of law. The displaced Syrians wanted their concerns to be heard. As one young refugee said: \"We want a solution that will give us back our dignity - no more, no less.\" The names in this piece have been changed to protect the identity of the refugees.

The agency had enough money to tackle the problem and would dredge rivers \"where it makes sense\", he said. Many areas of the UK have suffered flooding after weeks of heavy rain. There are still dozens of flood warnings and alerts in place across England, Wales and Scotland. Amber warnings for rain, meaning the public should \"be prepared\", have been issued for parts of eastern Scotland for Saturday to Monday, meaning outbreaks of rain are expected. The Met Office has also issued yellow \"be aware\" warnings for parts of Northern Ireland, south Wales and south-west England for the weekend. What have we done to make the flooding worse? In pictures: Flood misery continues Explainer: December storms' trail of destruction Analysis: Floods unleash unprecedented criticism Parts of northern England and north-east and central Scotland have been among the worst affected so far, with hundreds of people forced to leave their homes over Christmas and thousands left without power. In the past week, more than 7,300 homes were flooded across the north of England as river levels reached record highs. There has been criticism from some quarters that existing flood defences failed to protect communities, with some also arguing that the protection of farmland has been prioritised over towns and cities downstream. It has also been suggested that measures including river straightening and embanking, and the destruction of upland habitats contributed to making flooding worse. The authorities needed to think about how to respond to extreme weather events, but the solution was not simply to \"build flood defences higher\", Sir James told the BBC. \"Partly it will mean thinking much more broadly about how we manage river catchments, so that water doesn't come straight down from the sky and straight into the rivers, so that we can slow the flow,\" he said. \"It's not just about better protection for people from floods - although that is a key part of it - it's about helping people and communities be more resilient when flooding actually happens.\" Dual obligation In the last two years the Environment Agency has spent about £20m on dredging rivers. This would remain part of flood defence strategy. \"Where it does make a difference we will do that,\" Sir James said. Sir James denied there was a conflict of interest in the agency's dual obligation to protect both people and wildlife, saying it was \"absolutely committed to the protection of lives and property as the top priority, and that's not going to change\". In response to criticism from Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn that high-volume water pumps were not deployed to the north of England, he said 85% of all pumping resources nationally had been deployed to the north. The larger pumps were based in Somerset and designed for use in the Somerset Levels, he said, adding that he would have been \"rightly criticised\" if he had decided to move them. He also rebuffed criticism that the Environment Agency avoided telling journalists that its chairman Sir Philip Dilley was in Barbados over Christmas at the time of some of the worst flooding. Sir James said: \"We have been honest and transparent and straightforward. \"He was at home with his family, who are from Barbados. He visited Cumbria on 14 December and came back on 30 December and went straight up to the north. I think that was the right thing to do. \"The important thing is that the person who is in charge of leading the Environment Agency response to this floods crisis is me - I've been doing that with my team. \"Sir Philip's job is to hold me to account. He's been doing that.\"",

Depp makes a fleeting appearance in the first Fantastic Beasts film but will play a larger part in its sequel. Director David Yates said Depp was an \"extraordinary talent\" as well as \"a huge Potter fan\". \"He was beyond excited about working on this material,\" said Yates at the world premiere of Fantastic Beasts in New York. The film, a prequel to Rowling's wizarding series, is set 70 years before the events depicted in the first Potter book. In those stories, Grindelwald was a good friend of Albus Dumbledore, future headmaster at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. But their close relationship eventually broke down - a plot thread set to be explored in the Fantastic Beasts series. Speaking on Thursday, Rowling said future Fantastic Beasts films would show Dumbledore \"as a younger man... at what I think was the formative period of his life.\" Yet she refused to confirm speculation that the character would be seen in a gay relationship with Depp's character, simply telling reporters to \"watch this space\". The author admitted she had been \"in a kind of a bleak mood\" as she prepared to travel to the US in the wake of this week's presidential election results. But she said that working on the second film's screenplay during her flight had made her feel \"a whole lot better\".

The report is by the Technical Advisory Group (TAG) which advises the Welsh Government on its coronavirus response. It was submitted the day before a blanket testing policy was announced for all care homes in Wales. More than 11,600 people have died from coronavirus in care homes across the UK during the pandemic, figures suggest.

Coronavirus testing will be extended to all care home residents and staff in Wales, the Welsh Government has announced. But TAG said the value of this testing will \"decrease over time from the point of the outbreak being identified\". It also said it would be \"valuable to test in selected homes\" that appear to be free of the virus, to find out if anyone has been infected without displaying symptoms. Ministers have since promised that swabs will be available for residents and staff at all homes.

Mr Capriles said the council had a \"deadline\" of Thursday, but did not specify what action he would take. Mr Maduro won the 14 April election by less than two percentage points. He was sworn in as president last week, succeeding his mentor Hugo Chavez, who died in March of cancer. But the opposition cried foul, and tensions in the divided country have reached fever pitch, with the government accusing the opposition of fomenting coup attempts and the opposition accusing the government of \"desperate lies\". Nine people died in post-election protests and both the government and opposition are planning more protests on 1 May. 'Get serious' Mr Capriles says the vote was marred by thousands of irregularities, including voter intimidation, and has demanded a full recount. The national electoral council (CNE) offered an electronic audit of the vote last week, to begin this week, but says Mr Maduro's victory remains \"irreversible\". It has so far failed to give any details of the audit and on Wednesday Mr Capriles said he would wait only until Thursday. \"We will not accept a joke audit,\" Mr Capriles said at a news conference. \"It's time to get serious.\" He repeated his accusations that Mr Maduro had manipulated poll results, telling a news conference: \"The truth - and it is as big as our country is wide - is that you stole the election. That is the truth. \"You stole this electoral process, and you have to explain that to this country and to the world.\" The government, meanwhile, accuses the opposition of stirring up the post-election violence in a bid to engender a coup, and the government-controlled National Assembly has now announced a commission to investigate whether Mr Capriles was responsible. Pedro Carreno, who will head the commission, dubbed Mr Capriles a \"murderer\" as he announced its formation - joining the National Assembly head Diosdado Cabello, who has called him a \"fascist murderer\".

Dr Clive Edmonds, who is assessing the area, said the cul-de-sac sits on top of a former brickyard. He said a slump in the chalk, clay and waste sand under the ground could have been triggered by the recent rainfall. The hole, which is being filled in with concrete, led to a number of homes being evacuated early on Saturday and 11 are still unsafe to return to. Many other homes still have no gas or electric. Police said the hole stretched about 6ft (1.8m) under one house and reached the centre of the road on the other side. Dr Edmonds, who has studied subsistence for 25 years, said it could take several months to establish an exact cause but he believed it was likely to be a crown hole, which is governed by man-made factors, rather than a sinkhole which is formed naturally. He said the area was the site of a brickyard during the mid-1800s to the early 1900s, and to make bricks and tiles a mixture of clay and chalk was dug out of the ground. Waste sand deposits were then placed back into the ground to fill the voids. \"There is a high likelihood that it is mining-related. Fortunately they're pretty rare events - certainly of this scale,\" said Dr Edmonds. A spokeswoman for Hightown Praetorian and Churches Housing Association, which owns the homes on Oatridge Gardens, said tests on the ground would take place in the next week, which will then determine what further work is required before residents can move back in. All people evacuated from their homes have been provided with temporary accommodation, she added.

Mr Haw's long-standing presence on the pavement on the east side of Parliament Square is not threatened by the order. He set up his camp in 2001 in Parliament Square Gardens. Parliament Square Gardens is owned by the Greater London Authority (GLA), while the pavement surrounding the square belongs to Westminster Council. Mr Haw, previously from Redditch, Worcestershire, has a tent on the grass area in the square. He is currently undergoing treatment for lung cancer in Germany. 'Rid of the camp' Mr Haw's fellow campaigner, Barbara Tucker, said she did not believe the eviction had anything to do with clearing the area for the royal wedding. \"It is about getting rid of our peace campaign,\" she said. A spokesperson for the mayor said: \"The mayor is pleased that the High Court has supported previous rulings to return possession of Parliament Square Gardens to the GLA. \"The Court of Appeal had previously made a special case for Brian Haw and Barbara Tucker that they could continue to sleep on the grass area controlled by the GLA on a temporary basis while their case was referred back to the High Court for conclusion in this matter. \"The High Court has now concluded that neither party should be allowed to continue to sleep on the GLA controlled grass. The perimeter fences will be adjusted accordingly.\" Mrs Tucker had asked the appeal judges to adjourn the application to give more time to Mr Haw to prepare the case for health reasons. But Master of the Rolls Lord Neuberger and Lady Justice Smith rejected the application and ruled there was \"no prospect\" of any appeal being successful as the mayor of London was entitled to his order for possession without any further delay as \"justice delayed is justice denied\". 'A cover-up' Mrs Tucker said that if the eviction order was enforced the veteran campaigner would have to sleep on the pavement. She asked: \"If he returns, is it going to be safe for him to be that close to the traffic fumes?\" She also interrupted Lord Neuberger saying: \"This is a cover-up. Are you finished now?\" Last July bailiffs and police evicted demonstrators who set up a \"Democracy Village\" in the square in May 2010.

Mrs Dodds, the Economy Minister, said the first and deputy first ministers will make more announcements about lifting other measures on Monday. \"We're in a good place, we're reacting to the science,\" she said. Speaking at the executive's daily press conference on Friday, Mrs Dodds said people must still adhere to social distancing, and that her focus was now on trying to return the Northern Ireland economy to a strong position. She has been working on an additional paper with additional proposals for businesses that will be brought to the executive next week. Her statement came after the latest figures from the Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency (Nisra) revealed there had been 599 coronavirus-related deaths in the week up to 8 May - almost half of those were in care homes. Mrs Dodds also gave more details about a £40m scheme for small businesses that have not, so far, qualified for coronavirus grant support, first announced on 5 May. It is being targeted at micro businesses, which are usually firms with fewer than 10 employees. The minister said Invest NI would publish eligibility criteria on Friday night and the scheme will open to applications within the next seven days. Many small businesses have qualified for £10,000 grants, while larger businesses in some sectors will get £25,000. The £25,000 grant will be expanded to allow businesses that occupy rented properties to access support. Mrs Dodds said 22,500 small businesses have accessed support through various schemes so far, totalling almost a quarter of a billion pounds. 'Non-negotiable' On the issue of workplace safety during the pandemic, Mrs Dodds said employers had a \"non-negotiable\" duty to meet their responsibilities. \"They must provide a safe and proper environment for people to work in,\" she added. Earlier this week, it emerged that the Health and Safety Executive has fielded complaints about approximately 480 firms during the Covid-19 lockdown. The body, which was criticised for not inspecting sites in response to social-distancing concerns in the workplace, said such visits are now under way. The figures are a measure of the challenge faced by employers and employees as society contemplates a widespread return to work. Why does the R-rate matter for lifting lockdown? The R-value - or reproduction number - is at the heart of the executive's decision to keep the lockdown in place, until at least the end of May, only lifting a small number of measures that bring the least risk. R refers to the average number of people that someone with Covid-19 is expected to infect after contracting the virus. The goal is to keep R under one. Last week, Mrs Foster said the R-rate in NI was sitting at \"below 0.7\", falling from between 0.8 and 0.9 in the previous two weeks. The Department of Health said the R-rate is calculated mostly on intensive care occupancy and hospital admissions, but that care home cases have essentially \"no impact\" on it. The executive's Chief Scientific Adviser, Prof Ian Young, has said the R-number in care homes across Northern Ireland is \"significantly above 1.0 at the moment\".",

Their findings, published in Nature Medicine, will now be tested in larger clinical trials. Experts said the results needed to be confirmed, but such a test would be \"a real step forward\". The number of people living with dementia stands at 44 million around the globe and is expected to treble by 2050. The disease silently attacks the brain for more than a decade before any symptoms emerge. Doctors think drug trials are failing because patients are simply being treated too late to make a difference. This is why discovering a test that predicts the risk of dementia is a major priority for the field. Blood clues Scientists at Georgetown University in Washington DC analysed blood samples from 525 people over the age of 70 as part of a five-year study. They took 53 of them who developed Alzheimer's or mild cognitive impairment and compared their blood with 53 who stayed mentally agile. They found differences in the levels of 10 lipids, or fats, between the two groups. And when the research team looked in the other blood samples, those 10 markers of Alzheimer's could predict who was likely to enter mental decline in the following years. Howard Federoff, professor of neurology at Georgetown University Medical Center, told the BBC: \"I think there is a huge need for a test. \"But we must look at larger numbers of people before this could be used in clinical practice.\" The full power of the test has not been investigated either. So far they know a diagnosis of dementia can be predicted three years ahead of time, but the researchers are now investigating whether the test works even earlier. It is not clear exactly what is causing the change in fats in the blood, but it could be a residue of the early changes in the brain. Dementia across the globe A successful test for Alzheimer's could transform medical research and treatment drugs could be tested at a much earlier stage in the disease. Prof Federoff said slowing the pace of the disease could have a huge impact: \"Even a short delay of symptoms will have a tremendous economic benefit just in terms of the cost of care.\" Dr Simon Ridley, from the charity Alzheimer's Research UK, said the findings were \"encouraging\" and that a blood test would be a \"real step forward\". He added: \"To test the effectiveness of potential new drugs, it's important to be able to recruit people to clinical trials in the early stages of the disease, when such treatments are most likely to be effective. \"If confirmed, these results could also aid efforts to develop better tools for diagnosing Alzheimer's - allowing people with the disease to access crucial support and existing treatments sooner.\" The Alzheimer's Society's Dr Doug Brown said the test needed to be investigated further, but could pose ethical challenges. \"If this does develop in the future people must be given a choice about whether they would want to know, and fully understand the implications.\"",

The defendants denied the claims. In May it was revealed that 126 births were incorrectly registered by the adoption agency between 1946 and 1969. Following lengthy talks between the sides, barrister Eanna Mulloy, for Ms Reeves and Mr Farrell, told the high court in Dublin that the parties had reached \"a comprehensive agreement\". Mr Justice Denis McDonald said he was \"really delighted\" the case had been resolved. The terms of the settlement are confidential. Mrs Reeves gave birth to Mr Farrell at a clinic in Dublin on 13 March 1961. Days later he was placed with a family at Liscolman, Tullow, County Carlow and given the name Patrick Farrell by the now deceased couple Jim and Maeve Farrell. Mrs Reeves spent decades looking for him and they were reunited in 2013. Mr Farrell did not know he was adopted until late in 2012, months after his adoptive mother's death. Mrs Reeves, who is now living in Cornwall in England, claimed she was given the \"brush off\" by St Patrick's Guild and others in authority when she sought to make contact with him. The court heard Mrs Reeves, who came from a catholic English family with Irish connections, was sent to Ireland after she became pregnant in 1960. She gave birth to her son at the Marie clinic in Dublin in March 1961 and called him Andre, on the basis he would be the only Andre in Ireland in the hope of someday finding him. During her long search, she claimed she was told by a nun that adopted children do not look for their birth parents and that he had been likely sent to America. She learned in 1997 that he had been placed with an Irish family, but despite her requests was not given information that would allow her to make contact him. Mr Farrell was only made aware of his true origins in 2012. 'Alleged failure to protect family rights' Both Mr Farrell, 57, and Mrs Reeves, 79, said his adoption was unlawful and claimed his placement with the Farrells was done without the legal safeguards provided under the adoption laws. They claimed false birth and baptism certificates were procured in respect of baby Andre. They sought damages for alleged false misrepresentations made concerning Patrick's location. They also alleged Saint Patrick's Guild engaged in a conspiracy and failed to provide them with information about each other in a timely manner. They claimed there was a failure to protect their family rights and that Patrick was placed with the Farrells without their suitability being assessed. They also alleged the Irish State failed to vindicate or recognise the rights of the mother and son. All claims were denied.",

Mark Ranson of administrators Armstrong Watson said a delay in the receipt of funds from customers meant the staff could not be kept on. \"The administrators have been seeking recovery of those funds from customers, and will continue to do so,\" he said. \"All staff affected will be kept informed and payments will be made as soon as funds become available. \"Fifteen employees have been retained by the administrators to help complete various tasks relating to the collection of remaining debts and the ongoing sale of the business.\" Meanwhile, Dumfries and Galloway Council leader Ronnie Nicholson has written to First Minister Nicola Sturgeon seeking her support for the struggling business. Mr Nicholson said the loss of more than 100 skilled jobs - including apprentices - were \"individual tragedies\" and also a \"further blow\" to the region's economy. 'Difficult time' He asked Ms Sturgeon to ensure the Scottish government intervened as it had to broker a deal at the Dalzell steel works. He said that would be a \"key step forward\" in meeting the challenges facing the local economy. Speaking for the Scottish government, Business Minister Paul Wheelhouse said he was \"very disappointed\" to learn of further redundancies. \"This continues to be a very difficult time for all of those affected and their families,\" he said. \"Partnership Action for Continuing Employment (PACE), the Scottish government's initiative for responding to redundancy situations, has provided support to staff who have already been affected and stands ready to offer further support to the staff made redundant today. \"Scottish Enterprise (SE) is also working closely with the administrators and doing everything possible to help find a buyer for the business.\" He said SE had promoted the business to several companies who were now in discussion with administrators. \"That work will continue, as we explore every possible avenue to support the Dumfries site and its workforce,\" he said.",

            "input": "By Justin ParkinsonPolitical reporter, BBC News The Prison Officers' Association (POA) said staff and prisoners were getting on better and gang violence was down. It argued that separated living groups, put in place to restrict infection, were a \"blessing in disguise\" and should become permanent. But HM Prison Service said allowing inmates \"association\" was \"important\". It promised to \"consider what lessons we can learn from the pandemic\". Prisons in England and Wales went into full lockdown in March, with visitors banned. Since then restrictions have eased, but many inmates are being housed - and allowed to socialise - in groups of around 15 to 20 to prevent the spread of coronavirus. Normally they would be able to mix in much larger numbers when not in their cells. Under the new regime, officers are generally assigned to work with specific smaller groups, rather than dealing with entire wings. And prisoners are reportedly being locked up for longer - sometimes for more than 23 hours a day - as access to communal areas, such as exercise yards, showers and dining halls, becomes more time-limited. The Prisons Reform Trust, which campaigns to improve jail conditions, has raised concerns that violence and self-harm will increase if restrictions continue. Last month it was reported that the coronavirus-prevention regime at HMP Erlestoke, Wiltshire, had made it \"less safe\". Inspectors found \"troubling conditions\", with inmates saying they were \"frustrated\" by a lack of activity. But POA national chairman Mark Fairhurst told the BBC that prisons across England and Wales had, according to his union's members, become \"less violent and more safe\", adding: \"We've also been able to forge better staff-prisoner relations.\" Mr Fairhurst said: \"If you let out 200 prisoners at one time, an entire wing, you are putting people at risk from another 199 people - from threats, attacks and bullying. \"It's much easier to deal with these problems if there are only 15 to 20 people at a time. Gang violence, in particular, is cut down.\" Mr Fairhurst said it was important, where prisoners were being locked up for longer each day, to organise \"purposeful, constructive activities\", such as education and workshops. \"The government should listen to the experts in prisons - the staff - who say the situation is now safer and more stable,\" he said. \"It's been a blessing in disguise. It's given us an opportunity to reassess our regimes. We can't go back to the chaos of the system before coronavirus.\" 'Lessons to learn' Recorded violence among the inmate population has increased sharply in recent years. According to the Ministry of Justice, there were 267 prisoner-on-prisoner assaults per 1,000 prisoners in England and Wales in 2019-20 - up from 130 in 2012-13. The figure for assaults on staff was 118 per 1,000 prisoners - up from 35 in 2012-13. Over the same period, the number of recorded incidents of self-harm per 1,000 prisoners almost trebled - from 266 to 777. The published figures go up to March this year, when the lockdown began. Peter Dawson, director of the Prisons Reform Trust, said there would \"undoubtedly be lessons to learn\" from the pandemic and this would mean \"listening carefully to the people who live in prison as well as the people who work there\". \"But safety, security and rehabilitation all depend on building good relationships,\" he added, \"and that can't be done through a cell door\". An HM Prison Service spokesperson said: \"We have taken unprecedented action to keep those who live and work in our prisons safe and will continue to do so. \"We will absolutely consider what lessons we can learn from the pandemic, but association will always form an important part of prison life.\"",

Bedford mayor Dave Hodgson said the government was not providing the data for a decision on localised lockdowns. The government said it had been taking \"the right steps\" to combat Covid-19. The Public Health England figures show in that week there were 31-45 cases per 100,000 of the population in Bedford and Peterborough, putting them among the highest local authority areas in the country.

He added: \"I'd urge residents to stick to the original government advice and stay home and stay safe.\" Muriel Scott, the council's director of public health, said: \"With lockdown easing you might think that the virus has gone away. It hasn't. \"We are working with partners in the health sector to support the local rollout of test and trace and are calling on residents to continue the fight to slow the spread of the virus.\" A government spokesman said: \"This is an unprecedented global pandemic and we have taken the right steps at the right time to combat it. \"At every stage, the government has been informed by the advice of experts from SAGE and its sub-committees.\" Find BBC News: East of England on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.

Former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke had reportedly tweeted support of Ms Ingraham's Wednesday show. Her comments drew sharp criticism from Democrats and some conservatives. Ms Ingraham's controversial statements come days before a white nationalist rally in Washington DC. It falls on the anniversary of the first Charlottesville white supremacist rally, which eventually led to the death of one counter-protester. What did Laura Ingraham say? Then: On Wednesday, Ms Ingraham began her programme by saying: \"In some parts of the country, it does seem like the America that we know and love doesn't exist anymore. \"Massive demographic changes have been foisted upon the American people and they're changes that none of us ever voted for and most of us don't like. \"From Virginia to California, we see stark examples of how radically in some ways the country has changed. Now, much of this is related to both illegal and in some cases, legal immigration that, of course, progressives love.\" She was discussing congressional candidate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a Democratic socialist, who recently said that the \"upper middle-class doesn't exist anymore\". Ms Ingraham went on to say that immigrants would \"remake and reshape America\" the way \"socialists\" want. \"This is exactly what socialists like Ocasio-Cortez want: eventually diluting and overwhelming your vote with the votes of others who aren't, let's face it, too big on Adam Smith and the federalist papers,\" Ms Ingraham said. Now: After uproar on social media accusing her of immigrant-blaming, Ms Ingraham clarified the monologue on her Thursday show. She said the purpose had been to discuss border security and people were \"distorting\" her views. \"Despite what some may be contending, I made explicitly clear that my commentary had nothing to do with race or ethnicity but rather, a shared goal of keeping America safe and her citizens safe and prosperous.\" Ms Ingraham praised merit-based immigration as doing \"wonders for a country's economy\" - though she had pointed out legal immigration as being an unwanted change in her programme the night before. She also appeared to call out David Duke's Twitter support. \"All white nationalists, and especially one racist freak whose name I will not even mention, you do not have my support, you don't represent my views, and you are antithetical to the beliefs I hold dear.\" What's the reaction? White supremacist David Duke tweeted that Ms Ingraham's Wednesday show was \"one of the most important (truthful) monologues\" in history, according to the Daily Beast, but he has since deleted the post. Conservative television host SE Cupp told Ms Ingraham on Twitter to \"speak for yourself\". Democratic congressman Ted Lieu, a US Air Force veteran, said he served to defend Ms Ingraham's right \"to make racist statements\". Neera Tanden, president of the Center for American Progress, tweeted simply - \"Let me shorten this for you Laura: you're a racist.\" Is America really changing? America's demographics are changing. In 2018, almost half of young people in the US are from ethnic minority groups. Generation Z - loosely defined as those born after the year 2000 - is set to be the most racially diverse generation in US history, a figure powered by immigration and biracial relationships. According to the Pew Research Center, non-whites are now the clear majority in urban counties, but white Americans still retain majorities in suburban and rural areas of the country. These changes may be fuelling anti-immigrant sentiment among white voters in the US, but the further diversification of a diverse country is an unstoppable trajectory. This week's programme is not the first time Ms Ingraham and her fellow hosts have played on fears of immigrants coming to outnumber white Americans. She likened the migrant children detention centres to \"summer camps\", and praised Mr Trump for \"doing what we should have been doing all along, prosecuting all border crashers\". In June, host Tucker Carlson said illegal Central Americans were coming \"to change [America] forever\". President Donald Trump has also repeatedly spoken out against immigration, most recently by calling for cuts to legal immigration processes and pathways to citizenship. His presidential campaign, too, evoked a sense of nostalgia for traditional American values. The Trump mantra of Make America Great Again hearkens to an unspecified era of America that was somehow better for the country. But the majority of Americans, 58%, believe increasing diversity makes the country a better place. Pew states only 9% of Americans polled in 2018 think it makes the country worse. What's causing diversity to increase? Part of the rising diversity figures are due to foreign-born mothers. Pew data shows annual births have been decreasing among US-born women since the 1970s. Though only 14% of the population was foreign-born in 2014, about 25% of babies born that year had foreign-born mothers. These immigrant moms have boosted US fertility rates nationally and across 48 states. Pew data also shows that the number of immigrants who became US citizens is on the rise, with immigrants from Ecuador and India seeing the largest increases. The number of refugee arrivals, however, has been declining in the US since 2016. The number of Muslim refugees has also declined since 2016, while the number of Christian refugees has risen, a Pew analysis of US State Department data found. The changes to America's demographics may be making rural and urban divides more prominent - Pew studies found residents feel misunderstood by those who live in different types of communities.",

Labour had been expected to win Barnet for the first time, however the Conservative Party held the council. The Tories increased their majority by winning 38 seats. Labour group leader Barry Rawlings said the party's anti-Semitism row had \"made a difference\" as Barnet has one of the UK's largest Jewish populations. \"If it had happened a couple of years ago Barnet would now be a Labour council,\" he said. Barnet had been in no overall control before the election. Labour won 25 seats compared to 30 in the 2014 election while the Liberal Democrats lost their only seat on the north London council. The Conservatives controlled Barnet after the last council election in 2014, but it changed to no overall control when one councillor resigned earlier this year. Adam Langleben, one of the Labour councillors who lost their seat in Barnet, said allegations of anti-Semitism were the key reasons for the party's losses in London. He told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: \"I spent countless hours knocking on countless doors speaking to Jewish voters who are Labour voters or were Labour voters - people who genuinely believe in the same values as the Labour Party, who agreed with our local manifesto for Barnet. \"But they could not vote for a Labour Party that they see as hostile or dangerous to the Jewish community. \"And the Labour Party is seen by far too many people in the Jewish community as being racist right now.\" However, Richard Cornelius, Conservative leader of Barnet Council, said voters were more concerned about \"local issues\" than with accusations of anti-Semitism within Labour. 'Vile anti-semitism' He said: \"They are all basic issues. It was things like potholes, the collection of their rubbish bins and keeping the council tax low. \"Of course there is a concern about anti-Semitism in the Jewish areas, and of course there is a wider concern about it more generally. \"People are horrified, and Labour have to address that.\" Speaking at a visit to Barnet, Prime Minister Theresa May said: \"People of all faiths have rejected the vile anti-semitism that has gone unchallenged in the Labour party for too long\". Labour MP John Mann, an outspoken critic of Jeremy Corbyn, tweeted that the anti-Semitism row had \"cost Labour badly last night\". \"A Jewish member for more than 60 years told me on the doorstep he couldn't vote Labour in Barnet yesterday,\" he said.",

His wife, Awa Dibba, told a hearing his \"little children ask every day for their dad\". The inquest in Birmingham is set to last two and a half weeks. Ousmane Diaby, 39, Bangally Dukureh, 55, Saibo Sillah, 42, and Muhamadou Jagana, 49, also died at Hawkeswood Metal Recycling, Birmingham, in July 2016. Jurors heard all five men - four from the Gambia and one from Senegal - had been working in Spain, where they had found it increasingly difficult to find employment. After coming to the UK, they began working at the plant in Nechells. Birmingham and Solihull coroner Emma Brown said: \"They were clearing out a scrap metal storage bay when one of the walls, made of heavy concrete blocks, fell on to them.\" When emergency services arrived, \"it was identified that all five men were deceased\", she said. Relatives of the men could be seen crying while others had their heads in their hands as Ms Brown read out post-mortem examination results. Two pathologists reported each man suffered \"devastating blunt force injuries\", which were mainly to the chest, head and pelvis, she said. All had to be identified by their fingerprints, the hearing was told. In evidence, Mr Diaby's widow Aminata Kaba said she learned of his death as word spread on Whatsapp, the inquest heard. She said she was approached by people who got the news on the messaging app. \"Someone told me that someone had put it in WhatsApp because they did not know his close family in Birmingham,\" she said. \"Then we went to the mosque and they said someone has died called Ousmane Diaby and that's how I knew about his death. \"Then my husband's uncle heard about it and told me about his death.\" Widows of other victims described the effect of the deaths on them and their children. 'Loved his family' Mr Dukuray's wife Hawa Kaba said the loss of her husband had been \"absolutely devastating\". \"Since my husband's death my son has become very quiet and withdrawn,\" she said. \"I have found life a huge struggle and I miss him daily.\" Mr Jammeh's wife Awa Dibba said she had still not told her children about their father's death. \"Almamo worked so hard and loved his family,\" she said. \"The little children ask every day for their dad, they don't know he has died.\" Det Insp Nigel Harrison from West Midlands Police told the hearing there was \"catastrophic failure of a wall\" and the men's death would have been \"instantaneous.\" He added: \"Due to the weight of the metal ingots in the adjacent bay, the amount of force pushing against the wall caused it to collapse and fall onto the victims.\" Ms Brown set out the four main topics for the inquests, which include events at the plant, the medical cause of death, the cause of the wall's collapse and the construction, maintenance and risk assessment of the site.

The recommendation caused splits in the committee, with Tory Brexiteers, led by Jacob Rees-Mogg, voting against its inclusion in their report. The committee's Brexiteers also voted against the report in its entirety, but were defeated by 10 to six. Committee chairman Hilary Benn told BBC News it was \"not surprising\" there had been disagreements, given the country and Parliament were divided on Brexit, but that they had agreed on some issues. He said the committee did not think there would be a trade deal with the EU by the autumn in time for the \"meaningful\" vote promised to MPs. Instead, he predicted, there would be a \"political declaration about the future relationship\" with little detail - and talks would inevitably \"spill over into the transition period which is due to end by December 2020\". He said the committee's report would help MPs to \"judge what is put in front of them against a set of tests we have put out\". The EEA and Efta The committee's 15 tests set a \"high bar\" for the government but are based on the past pledges made by the prime minister and David Davis, said Mr Benn. \"It is vital that UK businesses are able to continue to trade freely and sell services into our largest market after we leave, without additional costs or burdens or a hard border in Northern Ireland and that we maintain close co-operation on defence, security, data and information-sharing and consumer safety.\" And if negotiations on a \"deep and special partnership\" proved unsuccessful, EEA/Efta membership should \"remain an alternative,\" he added. David Davis has previously ruled out EEA/Efta membership, calling them in \"in many ways, the worst of all outcomes\". He told MPs in September the government had considered them as an option during the transition period but decided it would be \"more complicated, more difficult and less beneficial\" than designing a bespoke arrangement. Mr Benn said the government had ruled out things before but had to \"face reality\" and accept them during Brexit negotiations. The committee's tests also include keeping an open border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, co-operation on crime and terrorism and tariff-free trade between the UK and EU. The report also calls on the government to maintain convergence with EU regulations in \"order to maximise access to European markets\".

The controversial austerity measure is a key part of the government's plan to pay back the international financial bailout the state had to seek in 2010. It was one of the largest ever mass protests over Irish government policy. 'Had enough' Irish police said they were not able to provide official estimates of the numbers attending rallies and marches across the state. However, Irish state broadcaster, RTÉ, reported that more than 120,000 people attended demonstrations throughout the day. About 20 protests were staged in Dublin, culminating in a crowd of about 10,000 who gathered outside the General Post Office (GPO) building in the city centre. RTÉ estimated that another 10,000 protesters took to the streets of Cork city, while in excess of 8,000 people marched in both Letterkenny and Drogheda. Demonstrations in Limerick, Waterford, and Dundalk were estimated to have attracted about 5,000 people each. 'Already free' Thousands of people also took part in smaller protests in Sligo, Navan, Wicklow, Galway, Kilkenny, Wexford, Ashbourne, and Longford, as well as other towns and villages. Some of the hundreds of people attending a protest in Ringsend, Dublin, told the BBC they do not believe they should pay charges for something that is already free and paid for out of general taxation. Other protesters said they were opposed to the bonus culture in Irish Water - the company established last month to provide the service. In Dublin, Martin Kennedy said he was taking part in the protests because he wanted to send a message to the government. \"Primarily, people are here today about water charges, but really it's about austerity. \"We've simply had enough,\" he said. Worried Anita Stanley, who attended a demonstration in the capital with her mother, also expressed her frustration at the government's policy. \"I'm a young widow, like my mum Ann, and we're here just to say we've had enough,\" she said. \"We can't afford to give any more.\" Éamonn Campbell, renowned as a guitarist with Irish folk music group The Dubliners, was also among the protesters. \"It is not just about water charges, it is about all these taxes that have been forced by the greedy, both in Ireland and Europe, and paid for on the backs of the needy,\" he said. 'Serious mistakes' Campaigners who organised some of the demonstrations disagreed with the state broadcaster's estimates and claimed the total number of people who protested was actually closer to 133,000. Despite the absence of official figures, the Fine Gael/Labour coalition government is clearly worried about the scale of opposition. A junior minister at the Irish Department of Jobs Enterprise and Innovation, Ged Nash, told RTÉ radio that \"some serious mistakes\" had been made in the establishment of Irish Water. \"I think if we were starting again we would have a much longer timeframe to establish what is a very important public utility,\" Mr Nash said. The minister added that the government would respond the public concern over water charges. \"We acknowledge people's anxieties right across the country about issues regarding affordability for water charges and we're prepared to address those,\" Mr Nash added. Meanwhile, Irish Deputy Prime Minister (Tánaiste), Joan Burton, said the charges will be modest and capped. Households are due to receive their first water bills in January 2015. It is the second time in weeks that members of the public have staged mass protests over the controversial government policy. Last month, tens of thousands of people marched through Dublin to show their opposition.",

            "input": "By Sophie LongBBC News, Los Angeles Scott DeAngelis spent a decade building up a lucrative tour guide operation on Hollywood Boulevard. For years tourists flocked to the Hollywood Walk of Fame and there was always enough work to go around. But now there are more palm trees than people and the stars once hard to find under the feet of potential customers, now bake, exposed to the midday sun. Hope was briefly on the horizon when California Governor Gavin Newsom announced a phased reopening plan. He said it would be a dimmer switch, gradually shining a brighter light at the end of this dark tunnel. But cases began to rise again after the Memorial Day weekend in late May - and the dimmer switch has now been turned down and the reopening plan is in reverse. There are now over 550,000 known cases in California, and over 10,000 people have died. In mid-July, Newsom ordered a sweeping new shutdown of indoor business like restaurants, movie theatres, wineries, and museums. \"You can't survive like this,\" DeAngelis says. \"There are no tourists.\" This weekend, California's Department of Public Health director abruptly resigned even as California struggles to contain the outbreak. The resignation came days after a computer glitch was found that might have caused the state to significantly undercount recent Covid-19 cases. With indoor operations for restaurants, gyms, and hair and nail salons halted once more, every piece of pavement and parking lot has become coveted real estate as businesses take to the streets determined not to add to the continually climbing death count. Barbers and nail technicians have erected tents to protect themselves from the sun as they try to carry on regardless. In West Hollywood teams of Sheriff's deputies weave between them. They are on patrol making sure the state-wide mask mandate is upheld and ensuring everyone here is doing their bit to flatten the coronavirus's unwelcome upward curve. Most people are complying. So far they have issued just over a dozen fines. The economic impact of the pandemic is evident at almost every turn. Businesses are boarded up and there are \"For lease\" signs seemingly in every other window along famous shopping streets in Los Angeles like Melrose Avenue and the Sunset Strip. But hidden behind the plywood is hope - Orly Dahan is surveying his empty shop window. But when I ask him if he's had to shut down, he says this is his new premises. He is expanding. Even though his fashion retail and manufacturing business Gold Hawk is down by 90%, he says now is the time to strike good deals with commercial landlords. Recovery will come, he says, and when it does he will be ready for it. But in Hollywood where the film industry would normally contribute some $50bn (£38bn) to the Californian economy, hope is not currently in plentiful supply. Cinemas have \"To be continued….\" signs above the doorways. Some theatres now have homeless people sleeping in the entryways - a bit of shade off the sidewalk in buildings that haven't been open for months. It is unlikely that they'll have to make their beds elsewhere anytime soon. There had been high hopes that the release of Christopher Nolan's time bending science fiction film Tenet would be the one to lure audiences away from their sofas and streaming services and back into cinemas. People say they are dying to see it. But when Warner Brothers seriously wondered would they? Should they? The release date was pushed, then postponed indefinitely before they announced it will now debut internationally at the end of August before opening in select cities in North America at the beginning of September. It is an attempt at salvaging a summer release, traditionally Hollywood's most lucrative season. There are fears among producers and directors that the film industry could be pushed out of Hollywood permanently. Some productions have already relocated to states and countries with a lower case count. But economist Larry Harris from the University of Southern California says those fears are overstated. California is uniquely placed geographically with desert, beach and city shots readily available. It has a huge talent pool and a plethora of studios. But it's also the weather, and the light, particularly LA's fabled \"magic hour\" around sunset which casts golden hues over the hills and valleys that first lured and will hopefully keep filmmakers here. But at Chapman Leonard, a family run studio equipment company that's been in operation for 75 years, there is a sorry scene. Thousands of dollies and camera cranes that would normally be in action on TV or film sets, lie idle, spilling out of packed warehouses, others are left stranded on abandoned studio lots. Christine Chapman-Huenergardt, the marketing manager and daughter of the owner, grew up using them as climbing frames. She's never seen anything like this. They've already had to lay off people who've worked here for several decades. If California goes back into lockdown, she says, they'll have to shut down. \"This has definitely been one of the most memorable years for hardship that any company of our type could go through,\" Chapman-Huenergardt says. Meanwhile another glimmer of hope that came from the flood lights of the LA Dodgers' Stadium as major league baseball came back, could soon be snuffed out. They played to a cardboard cut-out crowd in an otherwise empty stadium. Outside there was a stark reminder of why. Cars queued not for seats, but for Covid tests.",

The Competition Appeals Tribunal ordered it to pay £93,000 to the directors of now-defunct 2Travel. Cardiff Bus finance and admin director Cynthia Ogbonna is made interim MD. Mr Brown resigned on Friday after 18 years with the firm after the tribunal accused him of lying as part of \"outrageous\" behaviour by the bus firm to \"exclude\" a rival outfit. The tribunal, headed by former MP and ex-Welsh Lib Dem leader Lord Carlile of Berriew, found Cardiff Bus \"abused its dominant position\" when it set up a no-frills alternative to 2Travel. It rejected much of Mr Brown's evidence about the introduction of the firm's White Service as \"untrue\". It found the firm put up \"a deliberate smoke-screen\" about why it had brought in the new service in 2004. The report said: \"They were, not to put too fine a point on it, lies. From this conclusion follows the clear inference that Cardiff Bus knew that it was doing something illegal.\" The tribunal found Mr Brown and the former MD, Alan Kreppel, were in on the scheme \"from the beginning\". The directors of 2Travel had asked for £20m compensation but the tribunal rejected its claim for a \"loss of a commercial opportunity\". 'Well respected' It ordered Cardiff Bus to pay the 2Travel £33,818.79 for loss of profits and £60,000 in exemplary damages. Following the appointment of Ms Ogbonna, Cardiff Bus company chairman, Cardiff councillor Joseph Carter, said the board were working to recruit a permanent managing director.

However, councillor Mike Ross expressed concerns. \"We're at the early stages of getting people to come and visit the city as it is. \"[My] fear is that anything like this just sends out the wrong message to people across the country,\" he said.

The report from the US-based group was based on interviews with 203 Tibetan refugees outside China. China has blamed Tibetan \"separatists\" for inciting the violence and denies that excessive force was used. The unrest in March 2008 was the worst in Tibet for 20 years. Violence erupted in Lhasa on 14 March, shortly after the anniversary of a failed revolt against China in 1959. China says rioters killed at least 19 people, most of them Han Chinese, but Tibetan exiles say security forces killed dozens of protesters. The violence then spread to ethnic Tibetan areas outside Tibet. In the wake of the unrest Tibet was closed to foreigners and tens of thousands of Chinese soldiers sent to the region. 'Indiscriminate shooting' In its report, Human Rights Watch cited four occasions in which security forces open fired on demonstrators - in Lhasa on 14 March, and in three ethnic Tibetan areas in Sichuan province in the days that followed the Lhasa unrest. The group also included testimony from protesters in Lhasa and elsewhere who said they saw people being beaten with electric batons and rifle butts, or kicked by police. Tibetan protester Pema Lhakyi told the group she was near Barkor Square in Lhasa on 14 March. \"The soldiers did not come until afternoon that day. We could shout and protest as much as we wanted. It felt good,\" she said. \"When the soldiers showed up later, they threw tear gas. A gas canister hit my leg and I couldn't walk any more. Then there was indiscriminate shooting and we saw two people shot dead in front of us.\" Sophie Richardson, HRW's Asia advocacy director, said that testimony from dozens of eyewitnesses showed \"the official willingness to use lethal force against unarmed protesters\". \"This report decisively refutes the Chinese government's claim that it handled the protests in line with international standards and domestic laws,\" she said. Those who were arrested said they were beaten with clubs and sticks, held in cells so crowded they could not sit down and deprived of food. Some said they had been told to admit they had been paid to protest by the exiled Tibetan spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama. HRW said it had condemned violence committed by Tibetans as well as by security personnel. But it called for an international investigation into the events of March 2008 and for Tibet to be opened to international media and monitors. Responding to the report, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Qin Gang accused Human Rights Watch of bias. He described the unrest in Lhasa as \"serious, violent criminal incidents that caused great loss to the lives and property of the local people\", and said law had been enforced in a legal way.",

M&S's chief executive Marc Bolland told me he was advised by the company's lawyers, public relations advisers and brokers that he had to put out the rest of the three-month figures, because otherwise he would have been unable to respond to overnight media enquiries . But markets are not open tonight and it is unusual for a business to react to a leak in this way. In 30 years of keeping an eye on the stock market, I don't recall anything quite like it. Some may argue the incident shows M&S senior directors no longer have the confidence to do their own thing and face down the outside world in the way that was characteristic of the company for many decades. As for the numbers themselves, the poor clothing sales had been widely anticipated - and new managers of that part of M&S were brought in towards the end of the year. By contrast M&S Christmas food sales were pretty good, and the profitability of sales in general - or profit margins - improved. So these numbers are unlikely to shock investors, they don't represent a profit warning, even if the early release of the figures is a bit of a surprise. Update 09.15, 10 January 2013 It is a tale of two retailing giants, giant ships passing in the night. Tesco may be sailing into calmer waters, with signs that its expensive rehabilitation of UK stores may be paying off: it has reported a 1.8% increase in like-for-like or underlying sales, its best performance for three years. And its shares are up 2.8%. So critics of its chief executive, Philip Clarke, will keep quiet, for now at least - though they will want to see a sustained recovery before becoming convinced he should be at the helm for the duration. Clarke clearly feels more relaxed about what is going on in the core British operation, given that he has handed over the national levers to a new UK MD. As for M&S, investors seem unimpressed both by its lousy UK clothing and general merchandise performance, and by the spectacle of management mayhem in the form of the premature release last night of its trading figures. Last time I looked, M&S's shares were down more than 4.5%. Those investors querying whether Marc Bolland is the right CEO for these challenging times will not be reassured.",

Kim Mears, managing director for infrastructure delivery at Openreach, told the committee the firm had been contracted to deliver superfast connectivity to 90% of premises, and had actually reached more than 93%. She said she understood the \"frustration\" of people who had been told they would get superfast broadband but were still waiting, saying: \"We have lot to learn. \"One way of giving ultimate certainty is that you don't tell anyone anything until you know it's there, and that's not the right answer,\" she said. \"Where we did get it wrong was trying to be open and transparent only to find that last minute issues and barriers got in our way. \"If you're one of those homes and individuals who believed that you were going to get superfast connectivity, and you ended up without, I absolutely share the frustration and truly understand what that must feel like.\" The Welsh Conservatives called for the Welsh Government to target people who had been \"let down\" by the Superfast Cymru scheme. Economy spokesman Russell George said: \"Residents have repeatedly been promised fibre-based broadband, only to be fobbed off with delays. It's terribly frustrating, especially for people who rely on broadband to run their business.\"",

On Thursday, the Met Police said it was seeking to contact 4,000 possible targets named in seized documents. Its editor Colin Myler said it was \"the saddest day of my professional career\". He added that \"nothing should diminish everything this great newspaper has achieved\". The News of the World, which sells about 2.8million copies a week, is famed for its celebrity scoops and sex scandals, earning it the nickname, the News of the Screws. Downing Street has said it had no role or involvement in the decision to close. Mr Murdoch said no advertisements would run in this weekend's paper - instead any advertising space would be donated to charities and good causes, and proceeds from sales would also go to good causes. News International has refused to comment on rumours that the Sun could now become a seven-day-a-week operation. \"What happens to the Sun is a matter for the future,\" a spokeswoman for News International said. The Sun, another News International tabloid, is currently published from Monday to Saturday. The spokeswoman also refused to say whether the 200 or so employees at the paper would be made redundant, saying: \"They will be invited to apply for other jobs in the company.\" The News of the World's political editor, David Wooding, who joined 18 months ago, said it was a fantastic paper. \"They cleared out all the bad people. They bought in a great new editor, Colin Myler, and his deputy, Victoria Newton, who had not been sullied by any of the things that had gone on in the past. \"And there's nobody there, there's hardly anybody there who was there in the old regime.\" The Guardian says that Andy Coulson, formerly David Cameron's director of communications, will be arrested on Friday morning over suspicions that he knew about, or had direct involvement in, the hacking of mobile phones during his time as editor of the News of the World. The Guardian also says that a former senior journalist at the paper will also be arrested in the next few days. There have been repeated calls for Rebekah Brooks - the former editor, now News International's chief executive - to resign. But in an interview Mr Murdoch stood by her again, saying he was satisfied with her conduct. 'Serious regret' In a statement made to staff, Mr Murdoch said the good things the News of the World did \"have been sullied by behaviour that was wrong - indeed, if recent allegations are true, it was inhuman and has no place in our company\". \"The News of the World is in the business of holding others to account. But it failed when it came to itself.\" He went on: \"In 2006, the police focused their investigations on two men. Both went to jail. But the News of the World and News International failed to get to the bottom of repeated wrongdoing that occurred without conscience or legitimate purpose. \"Wrongdoers turned a good newsroom bad and this was not fully understood or adequately pursued. \"As a result, the News of the World and News International wrongly maintained that these issues were confined to one reporter. \"We now have voluntarily given evidence to the police that I believe will prove that this was untrue and those who acted wrongly will have to face the consequences. This was not the only fault. \"The paper made statements to Parliament without being in the full possession of the facts. This was wrong. \"The company paid out-of-court settlements approved by me. I now know that I did not have a complete picture when I did so. This was wrong and is a matter of serious regret.\" He said: \"So, just as I acknowledge we have made mistakes, I hope you and everyone inside and outside the company will acknowledge that we are doing our utmost to fix them, atone for them, and make sure they never happen again. \"Having consulted senior colleagues, I have decided that we must take further decisive action with respect to the paper. This Sunday will be the last issue of the News of the World.\" He reiterated that the company was fully co-operating with the two ongoing police investigations. He added: \"While we may never be able to make up for distress that has been caused, the right thing to do is for every penny of the circulation revenue we receive this weekend to go to organisations that improve life in Britain and are devoted to treating others with dignity.\" The BBC's political editor, Nick Robinson, said that Rupert Murdoch has sacrificed the News of the World - or, at least, its title - instead of the chief executive of News International, Rebekah Brooks. \"Team Murdoch must have realised that it would be referred to again and again over the next few months in connection with the alleged phone-hacking of a murdered girl, grieving parents and war widows,\" he said. \"The question now is whether this will make the government's dilemma about the takeover of BSkyB easier or harder.\" Mark Pritchard, secretary of the influential Conservative backbench 1922 committee and vice-chairman of the parliamentary media group, has told the BBC he wants the government to delay a decision on the BskyB takeover. \"The government should take the political and moral lead - and announce a delay to the BSkyB decision until all outstanding legal impediments have been removed,\" he said. Labour MP Tom Watson told Sky News it was \"a victory for decent people up and down the land, and I say good riddance to the News of the World\". But Justice Secretary Ken Clarke said: \"All they're going to do is rebrand it.\" And former deputy prime minister Lord Prescott, who alleged his phone was hacked, thought the decision was simply a gimmick. In April, the News of the World admitted intercepting the voicemail messages of prominent people to find stories. It came after years of rumours that the practice was widespread and amid intense pressure from those who believed they had been victims. Royal editor Clive Goodman and private investigator Glenn Mulcaire were jailed for hacking in January 2007 after it was found they targeted Prince William's aides. Detectives recovered files from Mulcaire's home which referred to a long list of public figures and celebrities. The scandal widened this week when it emerged that a phone belonging to the murdered schoolgirl Milly Dowler had also been hacked into, and some messages deleted. Leading brands, including Sainsbury's, Ford and O2, pulled their newspaper advertising and shares in BSkyB fell on fears that the scandal could hinder parent company News Corp's bid for the broadcaster. On Wednesday, the government promised an inquiry in the hacking allegations, but the nature of it is undecided.",

Biogas produced will be sent to Northern Ireland to help heat and power factories owned by manufacturing companies Bombardier and Montupet. The Northern Ireland Executive loan covers 40% of the £23m capital cost. The by-product from the process, called digestate, will be spread in forestry and on land near the plant. The agri-food industry said the absence of a long-term solution to the poultry waste problem threatened \"the sector's viability\". About 6,000 people work in the poultry meat sector in Northern Ireland and it is a major contributor to the economy. But finding a solution to the 270,000 tonnes of waste it produces a year has been a headache. Some of it is spread as fertiliser on fields, but it is high in phosphorous and Northern Ireland already has phosphorous-rich soils. That means there is a danger that additional land spreading could lead to excess phosphorous running off into rivers or lakes and causing damage. The European Union has rules against that, which Northern Ireland must comply with. That is why the treatment plant is being built in the Republic of Ireland. The soil where the digestate will be spread has lower levels of phosphorous and can cope with the additional nutrients. The plant at Ballybofey already has planning permission and is licensed by the Republic of Ireland's Environmental Protection Agency. Built by Williams Industrial Services, specialists from Mallusk in County Antrim, it is expected to be operational by March 2017. It is one of a number of anaerobic digesters expected to be built to take poultry litter. It is understood a second plant, if approved, could deal with more waste and would be built in Northern Ireland.",

Volunteer Terry Wilson said she \"could cry sometimes\" at what she has seen and heard at the centre. \"People tell me that they haven't eaten for so many days,\" she said. \"We make them toast and they eat all of it and ask for some more - I know they wouldn't ask for it if they weren't genuinely hungry.\" Mr Sloan said that \"very often, the three days' worth of food we provide to people is all that prevents desperate hunger\". \"It is great to hear praise for the work we do, but we would very much prefer people not having to rely on us,\" he added. Ms Berger, the shadow public health minister, said the food bank, along with those across the country, had become necessary because of \"cruel and unfair reforms\" by the government. A spokeswoman for the Department for Work and Pensions said the benefits system \"supports millions on low incomes or unemployed and there is no robust evidence that welfare reforms are linked to increased use of food banks\".

            "input": "By Judith BurnsEducation reporter The last 10 years have seen real-terms cuts amounting to 9% per pupil which fell hardest on schools in the poorest areas, says the IFS. And schools in poorer areas will get less of a boost from the extra £7.1bn earmarked for schools up to 2022-23. The government says it is committed to \"levelling up\" educational opportunity. But, according to this analysis, schools in poor areas will gain less than schools in more affluent areas from the government's education spending plans, leaving them \"badly placed\" to help their pupils catch-up on learning lost during lockdown. The report authors want to see more of the extra funding targeted at the most disadvantaged areas. During lockdown the poorest pupils were the least able to access online learning or have quiet places to study and, because of this, IFS Research Fellow Luke Sibieta predicts \"a likely widening of educational inequalities\". \"Schools with more deprived pupils have seen the largest falls in spending over recent years and are set to see smaller funding increases than schools in more affluent areas from the government's new funding formula. \"Most of the Covid catch-up funding will be spread across all schools, regardless of disadvantage. \"This proves a strong case for greater targeting of additional funding to more deprived schools,\" Mr Sibieta said. Overall the extra cash will largely reverse the real-terms cuts of the last decade, and the funding plans will narrow the gap between the best and worst funded parts of the country, says the IFS. 'Targeted funding' The Department for Education says the lowest-funded schools will receive the greatest increases under its plans. \"We continue to target additional funding through the National Funding Formula for schools with high numbers of pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds. \"Our £1bn Covid catch-up package on top of this is helping level up opportunity for every young person up and down the country,\" said the DfE in a statement. However, the analysis finds that the plans will deliver funding increases of three to four percentage points less to schools in the poorest areas than to those in wealthier areas up to 2021. It follows a decade in which the funding advantage for schools in deprived areas has shrunk from 35% per pupil to 25%, the analysis found. The researchers say the government's National Tutoring Programme for five to 16-year-olds is the only part of the new funding package to be targeted at more deprived schools. \"It is also not at a scale that will allow schools to address the inequalities that have widened during lockdown,\" says the IFS. Josh Hillman, Director of Education at the Nuffield Foundation which co-funded the research said that not only were the most deprived pupils more likely to be behind in their learning \"their families are also at greater risk of poverty, food insecurity and job losses\". \"This could further entrench the disadvantage these children face. \"As this research shows, it is therefore crucial that schools in deprived areas receive adequate and well directed funding so tat they can help to close the disadvantage gap and ensure all children can reach their potential.\" Dr Mary Bousted, joint general secretary of the National Education Union said the study showed \"an historic failure of the nation's children\". \"It is also striking that despite government rhetoric of 'levelling up' the reverse is true.\" Julie McCulloch, director of policy at the Association of School and College Leaders said that while the £7.1bn in extra funding was welcome it would be \"largely absorbed\" by rising costs. She said the government's refusal to reimburse the \"significant costs\" of Covid safety measures such as extra cleaning and more staff would put even more strain on budgets leaving even less money to spend on education. \"It is a desperate situation and the government has its head buried in the sand,\" said Ms McCulloch.",

A group called Advance Together is urging voters to abandon the Conservatives. And the Open Rights Group says both Boris Johnson and Jeremy Corbyn are building profiles of voters with their personal data - and says we should all be worried about that. No contact But the most intriguing new entrant to the Facebook election campaign is called 3rd Party Limited. We have been sent ads paid for by this organisation for two very different campaigns. One ad features a photo of environmental campaigner Greta Thunberg and urges people to vote for their local Green Party candidate. It was targeted at people interested in Greenpeace and Oxford University, living in Didcot in Oxfordshire. The same ad was also sent in by someone in the Cambridge constituency. The other ad is for a group called Save Brexit which wants people to vote... to save Brexit. It was very broadly targeted at people aged over 18 living in England. So what is 3rd Party Limited and what is going on here? Wired Magazine did some digging and found out that the company had been set up by Thomas Borwick, formerly chief technology officer at Vote Leave during the 2016 referendum campaign. What's more the Green Party was not at all happy about these ads. The Greens say they have not been contacted by Mr Borwick or his organisation and have no knowledge of his aims. A spokesperson told the BBC: \"Any Green Party adverts are always clearly labelled as paid for by the party as per Facebook rules. We would always encourage voters to check the source of any information they are receiving due to the large amount of disinformation currently circulating on the web.\" It has been suggested that 3rd Party's aim is to cause mischief rather than support the Greens, by persuading anti-Conservative voters away from more electable Labour or Liberal Democrat candidates. If so, the two Green ads we have received seem poorly targeted. Didcot is in the Wantage constituency where the Conservative Ed Vaizey, who is standing down, had a majority of more than 17,000 over Labour in 2017. The LibDems were a distant third. Cambridge was won by Labour last time with a majority of more than 12,600 over the Liberal Democrats. We emailed 3rd Party Limited seeking information about the donors behind the ads and the strategy behind their targeting. We received a reply saying all reportable donations would be reported to the Electoral Commission: \"Green causes are very important to some of our patrons, and our objective, therefore, is to encourage voters to give the Green Party its strongest-ever showing at the ballot box.\" The ads, said the email, were targeted at \"areas where our research indicates there are a high proportion of voters who care about environmental issues\". The statement expressed surprise that 3rd Party's efforts were not welcomed by the Green Party: \"If the Green Party feels that voting for their candidates is bad, you would have to ask them why they've decided to stand.\" But the mystery remains. If 3rd Party and its donors were so keen to help the Greens why did they not simply hand over some money directly to the party, or at least get in touch to discuss where ads might best be targeted? I texted Thomas Borwick with that question. He replied: \"Third parties are not allowed to work with the central campaigns.\" Seen any political ads?

Her widower Ernest Boateng told the inquest that \"due to high demand at the hospital she had to continue working\". A senior colleague said she had no knowledge of Ms Agyapong being pressured to return or remain at work. The inquest in Bedfordshire heard Ms Agyapong was signed off on 12 March 2020, initially for back problems, and died on 12 April. She was admitted to hospital with breathing problems on 5 April and discharged the same day. Dr William Manning, who assessed the nurse on her admission, said he \"suspected she had Covid-19\" but sent her home as she did not require oxygen therapy. \"She didn't seem particularly happy to go home,\" he said. Two days later she was readmitted with Covid symptoms. Surgeons safely delivered her baby, also named Mary, by Caesarean section before Ms Agyapong was transferred to intensive care, where she died. Her preliminary cause of death was given as pneumonia and Covid-19. Giving evidence, Mr Boateng said: \"Mary continued to work during this time [the start of the coronavirus outbreak], but she was very concerned about the situation involving Covid-19, so much so that when she came home from work she would take her clothes off at the front door and take a shower immediately. \"She was very worried about bringing Covid into the home.\" Mr Boateng told the inquest his wife had worked \"on some Covid-19 wards\". \"I wanted her to stay at home,\" said Mr Boateng. \"But due to high demand at the hospital, she had to continue working. \"She tried to reassure me that everything would be OK but I could understand she was anxious and panicking deep down.\" Mr Boateng said he strongly believed his wife contracted Covid while at work. The inquest heard that after she was signed off, Ms Agyapong would go into the hospital to confirm her ill-health and to attend medical appointments. \"My understanding is Mary was being pressurised to get back to work, as she had meetings about her sickness records earlier that year,\" Mr Boateng said. Jonathan Holl-Allen QC, for Bedfordshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, asked Nicola Hinselwood, a senior colleague of Ms Agyapong's, if there was \"any question of Mary being pressured either to return to work or to remain at work\". Ms Hinselwood replied: \"Not to my knowledge.\" Mr Boateng told the inquest he was not allowed on to the maternity ward to be with his wife when she gave birth on 7 April. \"What was supposed to be a happy moment in our lives quickly changed into a traumatic and painful loss,\" he said. \"Every day my children have to deal with the loss of their mother and I feel helpless when AJ asks when he can see his mother again.\" The inquest continues.

The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) added that exports rose 10.3% to 1.35 million vehicles, a record for the second consecutive year. But SMMT head Mike Hawes repeated fears that investment would suffer without a suitable post-Brexit EU trade deal. Mr Hawes said that car production was on course to reach an all-time high before 2020. But the SMMT's statement sounded a note of caution after revealing that investment by the industry fell to £1.66bn last year, compared with about £2.5bn in recent years. On Tuesday, Mr Hawes told MPs on the Treasury Committee that many carmakers are putting off investment until there is more clarity over the UK's trade relations with the EU. 'Red line' Mr Hawes said: \"Significant investment in new plants and products over the past few years has driven this growth, not a post-Brexit bounce. \"We want trade deals but they must be the right deals, not rushed deals. Failure to do so could damage UK automotive manufacturing beyond repair.\" The imposition of tariffs would be \"a red line for the industry,\" he said. \"There would be an impact on demand and jobs - that's a cliff edge we want to avoid.\" However, Business Secretary Greg Clark insisted the car industry would thrive, saying: \"Our modern industrial strategy will make the UK one of the most competitive places in the world to grow a business and these figures show why the UK automotive sector has such a vital role to play as we build on our strengths and extend excellence into the future.\" US growth UK car exports to EU countries increased by 7.5% to 758,680 last year, accounting for half of all exports, the SMMT said. There was also a big rise in car exports to the US, where demand jumped by almost half, accounting for around 14% of all UK car exports. Increases were also seen in Turkey, Japan and Canada, with a modest 3% rise in China, the SMMT reported. The UK has 15 car plants, directly employing 169,000 workers and 814,000 across the sector. Jaguar Land Rover increased production by 11% last year to 544,000, Nissan's rose by 6.5% to 507,000, the Mini by 4.9% to 210,000, and Honda by 12% to 134,000.

They were arrested after one daughter escaped from their home, where police later found some siblings chained to beds and severely malnourished. The couple appeared in court hours after prosecutors detailed the horrific abuse allegations against them. Riverside County District Attorney Mike Hestrin said the couple had allegedly punished their children by tying them up - first using ropes and later chaining them to their beds with padlocks. He said the alleged punishments would last weeks or months, and intensified over time. Prosecutors said circumstantial evidence showed the children were not released from their chains to go to the toilet. The teenager who escaped and alerted police to the house where her siblings were held captive had been hatching a plan to leave for two years, Mr Hestrin added. He detailed some of the gruesome allegations against the parents at a news conference on Thursday. The shocking claims include: A grievous betrayal James Cook, BBC News, Riverside, California This case has sent waves of revulsion across the US and beyond, and the small courtroom was packed as the defendants appeared. David and Louise Turpin were smartly dressed. They occasionally glanced at each other across a table weighed down by a copy of the California penal code and a sheaf of paper related to the case against them. A lawyer sat between them. Mr Turpin, with a distinctive mop of grey hair, was chained around the waist, his stomach protruding from beneath the metal links. His wife's mouth was turned down in a glum expression. The couple spoke only briefly and softly to confirm that they understood and accepted procedural details relating to their next hearing. The charges they deny are among the most serious any parent could face: amounting to a grievous betrayal of their own children, a betrayal which prosecutors allege went on for years, if not decades. The siblings themselves are said to be doing well but at least some of them have almost certainly suffered irreparable damage, both physical and mental from their ordeal. The children, who are aged between two and 29 , have been treated in hospital since being freed on Monday. The two-year-old was of normal weight but the other children were severely malnourished, authorities said. The 12-year-old weighed as much as an average seven-year-old and the 29-year-old weighed only 82lb (37kg). Several of the children have cognitive impairment and \"neuropathy, which is nerve damage, as a result of this extreme and prolonged physical abuse\", Mr Hestrin said. Though little is known about their education, some of the children were able to read and write. Mr Turpin also registered a private school in their California home, known as Sandcastle Day School. Police have obtained hundreds of journals that the children were allowed to write in and are looking through them for evidence. Before moving to California, the family lived in Texas. At one point, the parents allegedly lived in a different house from their children and would drop off food from time to time, officials said. If found guilty of the dozens of charges against them, the couple face 94 years to life in prison, Mr Hestrin added. Mr Turpin also faces one count of \"lewd act on a child under 14 years of age\". Can anyone open a school at home in California? The 13 children were found in an emaciated state in their filthy, foul-smelling house, police revealed earlier. Officers had at first thought all the children were minors but later realised some were frail and malnourished adults, they said.

The BBC's Clive Coleman says parts of the report could \"dramatically change the criminal justice system\", affecting the right to opt for trial by jury. The government said it wanted to work with judges to improve the system. It has already announced a £160m scheme to replace courts' \"outdated paper-based system\" with \"digital courtrooms\". Lord Justice Leveson, the third most senior judge in England and Wales, said the criminal justice system must expect \"diminished resources for years to come\" and needs to be efficient. His report, commissioned by the Lord Chief Justice, also calls for government money to fund the changes. His recommendations, which he said would not require legislation, include: Analysis By Clive Coleman, BBC legal affairs correspondent Lord Justice Leveson has made recommendations largely about technology and procedures, that don't require legislation. However, in Part 10 of his report he covers potentially radical changes - many of which have been discussed for years - that could dramatically change the criminal justice system. Such changes would be for parliament to decide, but Leveson is nudging it to look at these. One is the defendant's right to choose jury trial for offences that can be tried either in the magistrates or crown court. Many who Lord Justice Leveson consulted wanted the court rather than the defendant to have the power to decide whether trial was to be in the magistrates court or in crown court - where trials are far longer and more expensive. The right to jury trial began in the 19th Century, at a time when defendants had much less legal protection. Is it still right that a defendant can decide to have a jury trial for stealing a newspaper from a shop? Or should that now be decided by an independent judge? The judge, who previously led the inquiry into the culture, practice and ethics of the press, said the government should make money available to meet the \"inevitable cost of changing from the current systems to the more efficient ones\". \"The changes I have recommended are all designed to streamline the way the investigation and prosecution of crime is approached without ever losing sight of the interests of justice,\" he said. \"Our conduct of criminal trials was designed in the 19th Century with many changes and reforms bolted on, especially over the last 30 years. \"The result is that it has become inefficient, time consuming and, as a result, very expensive.\" Remote evidence Lord Justice Leveson also wrote in his report that the practice in some courts of evidence being given remotely, both by victims and witnesses, should be expanded across the country. \"The use of modern IT can and should go much further,\" he said. NSPCC legal expert Lisa McCrindle supported the idea of using technology to allow victims, such abused children, to give evidence away from a court building. \"Attending criminal proceedings is often an extremely stressful experience for children, particularly as they may encounter their abuser during the hearing,\" she said. \"Anything that reduces that risk and allows victims to give their best evidence has to be welcomed.\" Investment 'vital' Bill Waddington, chairman of the Criminal Law Solicitors' Association, said the report \"demonstrates the disastrous impact that criminal legal aid cuts will have on law firms if they are required to invest in new IT systems while having to take another fee cut. \"This will only delay the implementation of Lord Leveson's recommendations, restricting the choice of defendants further still. The association does \"not agree that jury trial should be restricted,\" he added. Alistair MacDonald QC, chairman of the Bar Council, said reform of parts of the criminal justice system was \"long overdue\". He said: \"Many of the efficiency savings identified by the review rely on investment in IT. \"It is, therefore, vital to the effective implementation of these efficiency savings that the money allocated by Ministry of Justice, announced last year, is made available for investment.\"",

Police said no arrests have been made. If confirmed, it is believed to be the first incident of its kind in the UK. A British Airways spokesman said: \"Our aircraft landed safely, was fully examined by our engineers and it was cleared to operate its next flight.\" The airline will give the police \"every assistance with their investigation\", the spokesman added. A Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) spokesman said it was \"totally unacceptable\" to fly drones close to airports, and anyone flouting the rules can face \"severe penalties, including imprisonment\". Steve Landells, from the British Airline Pilots Association (Balpa), said it had been \"only a matter of time before we had a drone strike\". He called for greater enforcement of existing rules. Are drones dangerous or harmless fun? Drones pose 'real threat' to civil aviation Analysis Leo Kelion, Technology editor Flying a drone near an airport can already be punished with up to five years in prison, and rules also forbid taking them above 400ft (122m) or near buildings and crowds of people. But the latest incident will only add to the pressure for further steps to be taken. The US recently introduced a compulsory registration scheme so any drone recovered from an accident can be traced back to its owner. In addition, officials could make it mandatory for drones to run geo-fencing software - that would prevent them flying in restricted areas. The Department for Transport has promised to publish a strategy for unmanned aircraft this year. And pilots have also called for the DoT to fund tests into what would happen if a drone got sucked into an engine or crashed into a plane's windscreen. Last month, the British Airline Pilots Association noted that while the threat of bird strikes had been well researched there was little data about how much damage a drone could cause a plane. 'Severe penalties' The incident follows a warning earlier this year by the head of the International Air Transport Association that drones flown by the general public are \"a real and growing threat\" to civilian aircraft. Tony Tyler called for drone regulations to be put in place before any serious accidents occur. The UK Air Proximity Board - which investigates near-miss incidents in UK airspace - said there have been a number of serious near-misses at UK airports involving drones.

Complaints were made about dust in July 2013 and NRW launched an investigation with Tata to pinpoint the source of dust problems. Dust particles from the plant coated homes, cars and gardens - with some residents claiming it was an ongoing problem. Tata altered production techniques and spent £800,000 on a device to wash dust off vehicle tyres.

The BBC understands removing benefits from people refusing treatment will be an option but a \"hypothetical\" one. One drug charity said such a move would set a \"dangerous precedent\". In 2010, the Home Office considered plans to remove benefits from addicts who refused treatment as part of the government's drug strategy but these were not pursued. According to the Department for Work and Pensions, 40,000 people claim incapacity benefits - citing alcoholism as their primary condition. Of these, about a third have been claiming for more than a decade. The government also says 80% of the UK's 400,000 \"problem drug users\" are claiming out-of-work benefits. 'Road to recovery' In a speech in Parliament, Mr Duncan Smith said \"the outdated benefits system fails to get people off drugs and put their lives on track\". \"We have started changing how addicts are supported but we must go further to actively take on the devastation that drugs and alcohol can cause. \"We want to do more to encourage and support claimants into rehabilitation for addiction and starting them on the road to recovery and eventually work.\" Mr Duncan Smith said the introduction of a single, consolidated benefit known as Universal Credit from next year - more details of which will be published on Thursday - will simplify the benefits system and provide more financial incentives for employment, helping all claimants. \"Getting people into work and encouraging independence is our ultimate goal,\" he added. \"Universal Credit will put people on a journey towards sustainable recovery so they are better placed to look for work in future.\" The BBC's political correspondent Chris Mason said Mr Duncan Smith, in his speech, hinted that a lack of willingness to seek help for addictions could lead to a cut in benefits. But a source close to the minister emphasised that the universal credit would make it easier to \"track people through the system\" and ensure they get the help they need. \"Hypothetically people could lose benefits,\" the source told the BBC. \"You do have to have sanctions. But very few people refuse treatment.\" 'No evidence' Charities said many addicts were not receiving the support they needed at job centres and through the government's flagship welfare-to-work programme. One of these, DrugScope, said it would be asking ministers to \"clarify\" their position on sanctions for refusing treatment. \"We are surprised and concerned at reports that ministers believe that stopping benefits is an appropriate or effective way of engaging people with drug or alcohol treatment and supporting their recovery,\" said its chief executive Martin Barnes \"If accurate, this would be a reversal of the government's publicly stated position.\" It said ministers had dropped plans, proposed by the previous Labour government, to require all those attending job centres to answer questions about possible drug and alcohol use. \"There is no evidence that using the stick of benefit sanctions will help people to positively engage with treatment and support their recovery,\" Mr Barnes added. \"Indeed, the risk is that people will disengage from support services, potentially worsening their dependency and the impacts on their families and communities. Linking benefit to a requirement to undergo treatment would set a dangerous precedent for people with physical or mental health problems.\" All those claiming employment and support allowance - which has replaced incapacity benefit - are currently being re-assessed under plans aimed at getting more people into work and reducing the welfare bill. Critics have complained that the medical tests being used are flawed and too many people are being deemed fit to work when they are not.",

The MoD said its preferred option was to \"undertake initial dismantling at both Devonport and Rosyth\". However a consultation document issued earlier said dismantling at Rosyth was the \"least attractive option\". The document for the Submarine Dismantling Project said this would involve transporting 20 submarines to Scotland. 'Responsible operator' \"Dismantling at Devonport only, on the other hand, remains a more reasonable proposition,\" the report said. On its website the MoD said the work would include removing all radioactive material, mainly metalwork, which had become radioactive during use. Radioactive waste which cannot be disposed of immediately would be placed into storage and the submarine hull recycled. The MoD said the submarines needed to be dismantled because storage space would run out by 2020 and the cost of maintaining them was increasing. It said: \"As a responsible nuclear operator, we believe that dealing with the legacy now, rather than leaving future generations to do so, is the responsible course of action.\" Thomas Docherty, MP for Dunfermline and West Fife said his main concern was how the community would benefit. \"I have an open mind on dismantling. I've made it clear that I have to see the community benefit. \"The ball is in the SNPs [Scottish National Party] court really. We need to decide whether it's right for the community to dismantle.\" He said there was \"no danger of Devonport submarines coming here. That's a red line.

            "input": "By David McKennaReporter, BBC News Online In December, following a spell of heavy rain, a hole measuring about 160ft (49m) wide and 130ft (40m) deep, appeared overnight near the Derbyshire village of Foolow. While in February, a house in Hemel Hempstead, built on the site of an old brickworks, was left teetering on the edge of a 35ft (9m) wide and 20ft (6m) deep hole, with its occupants forced to evacuate their home. In Walter's Ash, High Wycombe, a large sinkhole swallowed a family car parked on the driveway. And most recently, a sinkhole opened up in a residential road in Greater Manchester and a forklift truck collapsed into a suspected sinkhole on Mistley Quay in Essex. The common theme connecting many of the recent cases is past mining. Since Roman times, copper, lead, and other materials have been extracted from beneath the British countryside, leaving myriad tunnels and voids. The British Geological Survey said there are thousands of mine shafts sunk in the Peak Park alone, leaving the land prone to subsidence and although sinkholes open up for all kinds of reasons, by far the most common cause is a sudden influx of water. Caver Mark Noble, 58, from Eyam, said he came across the Peak District hole during a walk on Christmas Day. He said he has explored the caves at Foolow in the past where huge cavities were left in the area from an old lead mine. Paul Beetham, a lecturer in civil engineering and specialist in geotechnics at Nottingham Trent University, said: \"If you go for a walk in the Peak District you will almost certainly be passing over one of many thousands of natural and man-made voids that range from the size of a golf ball to the size of a house. \"Most of the time these voids pose no danger to humans, as there is usually a good depth of solid rock between them and the surface.\" However, he said: \"While these features may remain intact for hundreds of years, very rarely the sudden collapse of the material, perhaps disturbed by extreme rainfall or a recent change in land use, may occur.\" Mining, leaking pipes, burst water mains, irrigation or even emptying a swimming pool can trigger a sinkhole - with some areas of the country being more susceptible than others, depending on the type of rock involved - gypsum is especially vulnerable to rapidly water erosion with the area around Ripon being particularly at risk. Dr Tony Cooper, of the British Geological Survey, said: \"If you took a chunk of gypsum the size of a van and left it in a river it would be dissolved in about 18 months.\" Although the causes are the same, the appearance of sinkholes in more densely populated areas can be more difficult to deal with. Dr Clive Edmunds, part of a specialist team which filled the hole in Hemel Hempstead, said: \"Basically, these buildings can be left sitting on fresh air.\" So, faced with a gaping chasm in the middle of a housing estate, or a giant hole in the countryside, what can be done to make it safe? Mr Beetham said the solution \"usually depends on the risk the sinkhole poses to humans, property or business\". He said: \"If the area is remote then the risks are probably low and the urgency less. However, if the area is accessible to the public then priority would be for a specialist to establish how far the void could open up and ensure the area is made safe.\" He added: \"If the sinkhole has loose sides, access by heavy machinery could also trigger a wider collapse. In built-up areas, where access is difficult, it is common to backfill by pumping grout [mix of sand and cement] from the surface. \"If there is space to do so, more likely in rural areas, it may be possible to excavate down and cap off the void with reinforced concrete and then compact the overlying fill,\" he said. The Hemel Hempstead hole, which opened up on top of a former brickyard, took about 200 cubic metres or 17 lorry loads of cement, to fill. When it comes to identifying possible sinkhole sites, Mr Beetham said: \"It may be that they are more likely in regions where properties/developments are older and less robust approaches to development were followed. \"Another issue is that not all mining activities were officially recorded.\" He said modern methods should help to mitigate the risk. Developers conduct searches and use geological maps to look for evidence of known subsidence, or historical mining, he added. However, Peter Styles, a specialist in geophysics - and part of a team which conducts tests on land where holes have appeared, said: \"We are often asked to come in too late - something becomes unstable and you get one cavity - then people say to us 'are there any others?' \"It's quite clear that there are problems we need to look at in a more proactive manner - we need to take notice and start to inspect these sites before we give permission for huge housing developments or infrastructure. \"That is the only way we will actually make things safe.\" The Coal Authority takes responsibility for dealing with old coal mines across the country, but there is no national system in place for more than 100,000 redundant non-coal mines to be inspected. So, more teetering houses, swallowed cars and shifting landscapes remain a possibility - particularly during periods of heavy rain.",

Californian students Finnegan Lee Elder and Gabriel Christian Natale-Hjorth face life sentences if convicted. The US students say they were acting in self-defence, believing the two officers - who they say did not identify themselves - were criminals. Rega's murder received huge amounts of attention in Italy. He had only just returned to duty from his honeymoon, and huge crowds turned out for his funeral at the same church where was married just 43 days before. But there have also been questions about how the case has been handled. How did Rega die? Mr Elder and Mr Natale-Hjorth - both teenagers at the time - were allegedly trying to buy cocaine last summer in the Trastevere area, near to Vatican City. Investigators said a man named Sergio Brugiatelli helped the pair find a dealer. But the students were allegedly sold crushed aspirin instead of drugs. Both men then are said to have taken Mr Brugiatelli's rucksack, and demanded their money back and a gram of cocaine in exchange. At this point, Mr Brugiatelli allegedly rang the police. Undercover officers Rega and his partner, Andrea Varriale, arrived soon after. During the ensuing brawl Rega was stabbed 11 times with an 18cm (7 inch) blade. Police said they later found the weapon hidden behind a false panel in the US students' hotel room. Mr Elder has admitted stabbing the officer. But both he and Mr Natale-Hjorth stand accused of murdering Rega, and are also facing extortion charges. How has the case been handled? There have been a number of questions raised about the case in both the Italian and US media. A leaked photo showing Mr Natale-Hjorth blindfolded and restrained at a police station appeared in the press shortly after their arrest. Rega's partner Mr Varriale later said he had filmed Mr Natale-Hjorth's interrogation on his phone, which is where the photo came from. The police officer said he and Rega identified themselves on the night. But the US students say they saw no evidence they were police. And Mr Varriale also faced a \"dereliction of duty\" charge for not carrying his weapon on the night. Neither he nor Rega were armed, which is against procedure. Defence lawyers for the US students have also raised questions about the case. Talks between Mr Elder and his lawyer appeared in the Italian media which suggested he had confessed. But the defence said the transcripts were badly translated and seemed to omit parts of their conversation. Some in the US have even compared the case to that of Amanda Knox. The US student served four years in prison for the murder of Meredith Kercher. Italy's top appeals court overturned her conviction in 2015.",

Mental health charities have criticised the series for showing the character's suicide on screen and accused producers of glorifying the act.

The US company claims it brought in several measures to address the controversial content in 13 Reasons Why. \"We gave the series an 18 rating, added explicit warnings on the three most graphic episodes, produced an after show, Beyond the Reasons, that delves deeper into some of the tougher topics portrayed, as well as created a global website to help people find local mental health resources.\" 13 Reasons Why is the most tweeted about TV show of 2017, with 11 million mentions on Twitter since its debut in March.

No new taxes\" but he wasn't far off. Bill Clinton can tell you where that led G.H.W. And the Australian Labor Party has been quick to go for the same line of attack as news leaked out of what was coming up in Treasurer Joe Hockey's budget: a new income tax for those earning more than AU$180,000 (US$170,000; £100,000) a year, tax increases on fuel and a new payment for visiting the doctor. You can expect more of that from Labor in the coming weeks. Sweaty palms In the days before the budget, Mr Hockey had warned that the age of entitlement was over for Australians, before sitting back with a nice Cuban cigar. He also looked to have sweaty palms when he was asked live on TV why he had been dancing to \"This is the best day of my life\" in his office just before stepping up to give his budget speech. Not great when thousands of Australians have learned they'll be losing their jobs. This had been billed as a budget of austerity in an effort to reduce Australia's budget deficit. But the truth is compared to most countries, Australia is doing relatively well. Australia has a budget deficit of about just 3% of gross domestic product (GDP), while public debt is less than 20% of GDP. This is not Greece, Portugal or Spain. You look around you here and it doesn't feel like a country that is struggling. It isn't. Unemployment is still less than 6%. The median wage for a full time adult is AU$75,000 a year (US$67,500; £43,000) That compares to just under £27,000 in the UK or just US$27,500 in the United States. But many in Australia, and certainly supporters of Mr Abbott, would tell you that in country which has enjoyed a huge mining boom for much of the last decade, there should be a surplus not a deficit. Wrong-foot the opposition? In opposition and now in government, Tony Abbott has talked down Australia's economy. Some believe he's talked up an economic crisis, which he can blame on his predecessors, to allow him to carry out cuts to suit his political agenda. Some 16,500 public sector jobs will go under the new budget. It's also possible that this budget will wrong-foot the opposition. Will Labor be able to criticise the new deficit tax without seeming out of touch with the public mood? The majority of Australians will surely not oppose an increase in income tax for the few who earn more than AU$180,000 a year. Will the Green Party really be able to oppose an increase in fuel taxes? This budget could be a gamble. The tax increases will undoubtedly leave the government open to accusations of going back on their promises. Mr Abbott spent much of his time in opposition lambasting Labor with similar charges. But the next general election is still more than two years away. If he can successfully reduce the deficit and keep the economy strong, those tax increases may be forgotten come polling day.

Drinks are teenagers' main source of added sugar, and too much can lead to obesity and health problems. In March, the government promised a tax on sugary drinks in England. A five-year-old should have no more than 19g of sugar in a day, a 10-year-old no more than 24g, and teenagers and adults no more than 30g. A typical can of cola contains 35g (nine teaspoons). The survey data suggests: When the sugar tax comes in, soft drinks companies will pay a charge for drinks with added sugar and a total sugar content of 5g or more per 100ml (about 5%). But drinks with a high milk content will be exempt because milk contains calcium and other nutrients the government says are \"vital for a healthy diet\". Alison Tedstone, chief nutritionist at Public Health England, said: \"The sugar levy is a good way to help cut intakes, but children get sugar from many sources. \"We're also working with businesses and retailers to gradually take sugar out of the food children eat the most, so we can cut sugar intakes across the whole diet, not just drinks.\" The British Soft Drinks Association said: \"Teenagers' sugar intake from soft drinks is down by 8%. \"This is not surprising since soft drinks companies' action on reformulation and smaller pack sizes has helped drive a 17% cut in sugar consumed from soft drinks since 2012.\"",

Kim Jong-un is thought to be in line to succeed his father as leader of the highly secretive state. He was suddenly promoted to senior leadership roles last month. Kim Jong-un, dressed in a dark blue civilian suit, sat next to his father on a viewing platform at Kim Il-sung Plaza as tanks with rocket-propelled grenades and long-range missiles rolled by. The missiles carried the slogan of the Korean People's Army: \"Defeat the US military. US soldiers are the Korean People's Army's enemy.\" Thousands of troops goose-stepped around the plaza, which was decorated with banners and flags. Ordinary citizens were waving plastic bouquets. Officials say the anniversary celebrations will be biggest of their kind in the nation's history. Third generation On Saturday, father and son had appeared at a festival in the capital. Members of the international media were also invited in to witness the event. As a spotlight shone on the two men, the massive crowd at the Arirang gymnastics and dance festival rose to their feet and burst into applause. Last month, the Swiss-educated Kim Jong-un was made a four-star general and given senior positions in the government and the Workers' Party, at a rare party conference. Analysts say this means he is in line to succeed his father, who took over the leadership of North Korea in 1994 after his father, Kim Il-sung, died.

Kim Jong-il is thought to be in poor health and is widely believed to have suffered a stroke two years ago.

The parks board of Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park Authority will consider the plans on 24-25 October. This is Scotgold's second attempt at securing planning permission. Its first application was rejected by the park authority in August 2010. The company then submitted revised plans in July this year after dropping an appeal. Scotgold said it had met with senior park authority representatives on \"a number of occasions\" since its initial application was rejected to discuss specific reasons for the refusal and address concerns. Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH) said in August its objections to the fresh proposals could be overcome, if further commitments were made to guard against the long-term environmental effects of the mine. If Scotgold secures planning permission, it expects the mine to produce 20,000oz of gold and 80,000oz of silver a year. It would be the first time gold has been successfully extracted from a Scottish mine for more than 500 years.

            "input": "By Tara McKelveyWhite House reporter, BBC News It's a question that has dogged her campaign for over a year - but opinions are divided over whether the allegations made against her constitute a crime or are just the latest partisan sideshow. Perhaps the best way to look at the implications of her case is by considering the context of another high-profile legal drama involving classified documents that was recently resolved - that of former CIA director David Petraeus. Petraeus pleaded guilty last year to a misdemeanour offence, mishandling classified information, after being accused of handing notebooks with classified information to his biographer-turned mistress, Paula Broadwell. He was fined and placed on probation - a resolution that some have called a slap on the wrist. In other cases people who have revealed classified information were sent to prison. In 2009 Stephen Kim, a former government contractor, was sentenced to 13 months for giving classified material to a reporter. But Petraeus is a high-profile figure. He has been credited with implementing the US military \"surge\" in Iraq that helped bring stability to the nation - at least temporarily. When President Barack Obama tapped him to head the CIA in 2011, his name was kicked around by some Republicans as a possible presidential candidate in 2012. His celebrated background has led critics to suggest that there is a double-standard in cases involving the mishandling of classified information - one making it less likely that Mrs Clinton will face repercussions for her actions. Mrs Clinton used a private server at her house while she was secretary of state, and some of her emails appeared to have contained classified information, though it's unclear whether that information was classified at the time it was sent. Revealing classified information is a crime. Yet the offence is treated in different ways, depending upon the circumstances. They're also tough cases to prosecute. Government lawyers have to prove an individual knew what he was doing when he revealed classified information, for example, or that she was unusually sloppy when handling the material. After initially denying any culpability, Mrs Clinton has acknowledged that using a private server at her house was a mistake. \"I should have used two email addresses, one for personal matters and one for my work at the State Department,\" she said on Facebook in September. \"I'm sorry about it, and I take full responsibility.\" One of her former aides, Bryan Pagliano, set up the private server at her house. He has reportedly agreed to co-operate with authorities in the investigation. According to the Washington Post, he's been granted immunity. Officials refused to talk to me on the record about the matter. \"I'll leave it to the leakers,\" Marc Raimondi, the justice department's national security spokesman says. FBI agents may decide to question Mrs Clinton and more of her aides, both current and former, in the coming months. The danger for Mrs Clinton's presidential campaign, even if she avoids criminal charges, is that it could play into the perception by some that the former secretary of state can't be trusted. For conservatives hoping to defeat her in the general election and break the Democrats' eight-year hold on the Oval Office, that's good news. It also makes any discussion of the legal case fraught with political significance. Every twist and turn in the case, such as revelations this week that one individual had agreed to co-operate with a federal investigation, is scrutinised. Kurt Volker, a former US ambassador who's now executive director of the McCain Institute, says her actions are potentially worse than anything Petraeus did. Though Petraeus willingly revealed classified information to his mistress, Mrs Clinton apparently sent email with classified information through a server without proper safeguards. As Volker sees things, the classified material became vulnerable to hackers. \"Everybody and their uncle can potentially see that information,\" he says. \"That means Iranians, Chinese, whoever.\" Volker believes she should be punished for her actions and that investigators are doing the right thing in their efforts to find out more about the case. But he's sceptical about the outcome. He believes that during an election year, with a Democratic administration in power, she's unlikely to be held accountable for what she did. FBI agents will pursue it as a criminal matter, he says, but he believes that justice department officials will \"take into account the political context\" (and that Mrs Clinton is a Democratic candidate for the presidency.) His suspicions about political bias in the White House reinforce a universal truth - campaign season is a time of passion, paranoia and fiery rhetoric. Few in Washington think that formal charges will be brought against her, however. And if they were, it's hard to see how she'd be sent to prison for committing the same kind of crime for which Petraeus received probation. If she is charged and avoids any serious penalty, then FBI agents, federal investigators - and plenty of her political adversaries - would have reason to be angry. \"But as far as I can see no crimes have been committed,\" says Steven Aftergood, the director of the Project on Government Secrecy for the Federation of American Scientists. \"So I don't see a place for that sort of frustration.\" Like Volker, he sees the issue as political. \"We've been bombarded with accusations before any indictment has been filed,\" Aftergood says. \"And for that reason it seems like a manufactured controversy.\" And however you see the politics surrounding the case of Mrs Clinton's email, the controversy is bound to continue - at least until the election.

Children at Great Yarmouth Charter Academy were told to be in bed by 21:30 BST and mobile phones could be confiscated for six weeks. Mr Smith said he aimed to boost exam results for pupils. The school was taken over by the Inspiration Trust after it achieved some of the worst GCSE results in the county. Mr Smith met with parents of pupils at the school at a meeting. Before the meeting, he told the BBC parents would see the difference his new rules would make. \"Their kids are not going to be bullied... or spat at,\" said Mr Smith. \"They are going to leave achieving really good exam results. \"Are exams everything? No. But they keep doors open. And exam results have been through the floor [at this school].\" Autism concerns Concerns about the way the rules may affect children with autism have been raised. The school's 22-page rules guide tells pupils to \"make confident eye contact\". The National Autistic Society has asked the school not to apply the rule to autistic students, like 12-year-old pupil Reese O'Rourke. Reese's mother, Charlene O'Rourke, said her son struggled with making eye contact with people and she would not want him to be forced to do so. She said: \"They [pupils] do need to have discipline, but can't discipline a child with special needs because that is not going to work. It will make my son retaliate.\" Jane Harris, director of external affairs at the National Autistic Society, said the rule could be \"discriminatory and potentially be breaking the law\" because keeping eye contact can be \"physically painful\" for some autistic people. Mr Smith defended the school's behaviour rules, and said: \"We take support for children with special education needs very seriously, and one of the reasons for our strict approach on behaviour is to ensure we have calm classrooms that allow as many pupils as possible to take part in mainstream lessons with their peers. \"Even in these first few days we have children thriving in classes who previously couldn't cope with the noise and behaviour they faced.\"",

He said the Japanese firm was preparing for a no-deal outcome but had not discussed relocating its Swindon plant. The firm builds its Civic model in Britain for the global market. In an interview with Radio 5 live, Mr Howells said a no-deal Brexit would lead to costly trade barriers and disrupt its supply chain. \"In terms of administration, we'd probably be looking at something like sixty odd thousand additional bits of documentation we would have to provide to get product to and from Europe,\" he told the Wake up to Money programme. \"And clearly if we end up with World Trade Organization tariffs we'd have something like 10% costs in addition on our shipped product back into Europe, and that would certainly run into tens of millions of pounds.\" \"Likewise when we're looking at componentry coming the other way, again [it could cost] tens of millions in terms of tariffs coming into the UK.\" Supply chain risks Like other carmakers in Britain, Honda only stores about an hour's worth of components at its Swindon plant to keep costs down. Instead it relies on about 350 truckloads of parts that are delivered from the continent each day. Mr Howells said the loss of \"frictionless trade\" in this supply chain would harm its production output and competitiveness. \"If we are shipping and competing against a European manufacturer in Europe, they are not incurring those tariffs,\" he said. \"And in the UK it would be the componentry cost that would be the main additional burden we would have to carry for UK customers.\" A host of carmakers in Britain, including Nissan and Jaguar, have warned a bad or no Brexit deal would be damaging for the UK car industry. EU customers buy about €15bn ($18.5bn; £13bn) worth of British-made cars per year, accounting for 53% of the UK's vehicle exports. However, despite uncertainty over a future trade deal, carmakers such as Nissan, BMW and Toyota have committed to expanding production in Britain since the Brexit vote. Mr Howells told the BBC that Honda was preparing for a potential no-deal outcome by carrying \"a little bit more componentry than we otherwise would\" and by reviewing its production schedules. However, he added the Swindon plant manufactured for the global market, not just Europe, and that there had been no discussions about moving it. He also said the firm supported the Prime Minister's Chequer's deal, which proposes following a \"common rule book\" with the EU for trade in goods. Critics say the deal would make Britain a rule taker, not a rule maker, and hamper its ability to strike trade deals around the world.

'Punishing regime' Proceedings were interrupted for several hours to allow Ms Alekhina to be given treatment after a fall in her blood sugar levels, defence lawyer Nikolay Polozov told Russian media. He added that Ms Alekhin was a vegan and needed a special diet. Later on Wednesday, there was a further interruption when Ms Alekhina again repeatedly complained about feeling poorly, according to media reports. Mr Polozov told the Interfax news agency that the defendants have been subjected to a punishing regime since the start of their trial. \"For a third day running, the girls have been woken at 5am, held in a 1sq m (11sq ft) unventilated room, after which they are taken to court,\" he said. \"They are not fed, and court sessions last up to 12 hours, during which they are only given 20-30 minutes for a small snack of dry rations. They are then taken back to remand after midnight. They are also denied an evening meal and can only sleep for small number of hours.\" The women are facing the charge of hooliganism motivated by religious hatred or hostility and could face up to seven years in prison. At the start of their trial on Monday, the three pleaded not guilty, but apologised for the offence their performance had caused. The case has divided Russia, with many feeling the women are being made an example of as part of attempts to clamp down on the opposition.",

            "input": "By Hannah RichardsonBBC News education and family reporter Ministers pledged 15 hours a week of free childcare to 130,000 two-year-olds in England from September. But the latest Department for Education data shows while 92,000 children are receiving such care, 38,000 are not. Childcare providers said the offer, which was heralded by the deputy prime minister, was not properly funded. Neil Leitch, chief executive of the Pre-School Learning Alliance, said at a time when many providers were still underfunded for the existing free nursery place scheme for all three- and four-year-olds, it was vital that the government makes sure the two-year-old scheme is adequately funded. \"This will determine the success of the initiative and the positive impact for generations to come. \"While the latest take-up figure is extremely positive, we need to ensure that there is a long term strategy of continuous support in place to ensure that all participating providers are able to offer high quality, appropriate care and education.\" Some nursery providers say the average rate of funding, £5.12 per hour, is so low the work they would have to carry out with these disadvantaged children would effectively be \"pro bono\". This is because of the very high level of need that the children have because they are younger and sometimes highly troubled. Places also have to be in settings rated good or outstanding by Ofsted. In May, the BBC News Website reported that the scheme was 55,000 places short, and there were warnings that it would not open fully in all areas, with shortages predicted in London and other urban areas. Both Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg and Education and Childcare Minister Liz Truss have stressed the need to give disadvantaged children, who tend to do worse at school, the best start in life. 'Fall behind' Mr Clegg praised the number of places made available on the scheme, saying: \"Early access to high-quality childcare is vitally important to ensure children are ready for school, ready for the world and able to get a good start in life. \"Giving disadvantaged children early support gives them the best possible chance to succeed, it means they're less likely to fall behind their wealthier classmates and it can make a huge impact on their future. It is vital for a fair and prosperous society.\" However, the Department for Education has now said the funding for the places will in future be on a \"use it or lose it basis\". \"The number of participating children will determine the amount of funding they get,\" it said. \"Where parents are not taking up these place, local authorities will get less money.\" The department is due to expand the scheme to 260,000 children in England next September. Childcare workers association Pacey, which represents many childminders, welcomed the fact that, so far, 70% of eligible families had signed up to receive the free entitlement for childcare. But it said it was concerned that the government had already noted that in some areas it might not have enough providers rated good or outstanding to cover all the children entitled to the two-year-old offer, and would have to use providers graded as requiring improvement. Its chief executive, Liz Bayram, said: \"This is of even more concern given the emerging evidence that individual childminders are struggling to access funding through this scheme, as local authorities seem to show a preference for nursery settings to deliver this care, even if those settings might not be good or outstanding. \"Many families benefit from the flexible home-based service that childminders offer, so ensuring parents can make a real choice about the type of childcare that is right for them could only help increase uptake even further.\" Labour's shadow minister for childcare and children, Lucy Powell, said the \"cost of living crisis\" was being made worse by families who were promised free childcare finding that they do not have a place. \"This government has hit families with reduced support, rising childcare costs and fewer places. Labour's primary childcare guarantee and the extension of free childcare for working parents from 15 to 25 hours for three and four year olds will be a real boost for families feeling the pinch and struggling to balance work and family life.\"",

Competition commissioner Joaquin Almunia revealed that he could also open a probe into Google's mobile operating system Android. Google said it continued to work with the commission to resolve the matter. The dispute has been running since 2010, after rivals, including British price-comparison site Foundem, complained that the way Google displayed results was anti-competitive. In Europe Google has a 90% share of the search market. Toll road In a deal hammered out in February, Google agreed to reserve space near the top of its European search pages for competitors, which would be open to rivals to bid for via an auction. This auction could generate an extra income of up more than 300 million euros for Google, said rivals. \"Under the auction system Google would get another massive revenue stream. It's a bit like telling a robber than he can't rob any more but instead can set a toll on the High Street,\" said David Wood, a lawyer that represents iComp (Initiative for a Competitive Online Marketplace) of which Foundem and Microsoft are members. \"The real remedy is for Google to use the same algorithm for third-party sites that it applies to its own,\" he added. He urged the European Commission to push this solution as part of its powers. Writing on the Google Europe blog, executive chairman Eric Schmidt quoted Mr Almunia saying that imposing \"strict equal treatment could mean returning to the old world of Google displaying only 10 undifferentiated search results\". \"We're trying to get you direct answers to your queries because it's quicker and less hassle than the 10 blue links Google used to show,\" he said. \"Nor is it true that we are promoting our own products at the expense of the competition,\" he added. Mr Almunia had previously indicated that he was happy with the changes but had changed his mind in the wake of \"very, very negative\" feedback from rivals such as Microsoft and Expedia, he said in an interview with Bloomberg TV. \"Some complainants have introduced new arguments, new data, new considerations. We now need to to analyse this and see if we can find solutions, Google can find solutions, to some of these concerns that we find justified,\" he told reporters. This represents the third rejection of Google's solutions and experts think that it is now unlikely that an agreement will be reached during Mr Almunia's term in office, which finishes at the end of October. If no agreement is reached, Google faces a heavy fine.",

Thirty years on, the Catholic priest has since earned respect from all sides as a peacemaker who helped to steady Moss Side through a quarter of a century of turmoil. \"I wanted to find out from the young people why they were so angry,\" he said. \"I remember standing there talking when the police launched a baton charge into the crowd. \"We headed down what is now Raby Street, past Our Lady's Church, and at the gate was a burning barricade.\" 'Beat yourself up' At the time, unemployment among young, black men in Moss Side had reached 80% and few stood a chance of finding a job. But it was the use of \"stop and search\" by police that left many people in Moss Side \"waiting for something to happen\". \"The whole black community - not just the young people - felt such anger towards the police,\" Father Sumner said. \"So there was a real breakdown in that relationship.\" A memorable piece of graffiti at the time - \"Help the police, beat yourself up\" - summed up the mood of many. Then, on 8 July 1981, simmering tensions boiled over as hundreds of people besieged Moss Side police station, sparking three nights of rioting and street battles with police. Tony Atta, a former youth worker in Moss Side, said there had always been a \"them and us situation\". As the disturbances began, he recalled hearing noises and going outside to see hundreds of people on the streets. \"It was then I realised that this was not just one or two - it was a mass movement.\" While the notorious \"sus laws\" may have have sparked the rioting, Father Sumner said there were other factors too. \"People like me, we weren't understanding the black issues, we didn't understand how to nurture identity in young people,\" he said. \"So they were being let down by schools, they were being criminalised by the police, and the hopelessness and the discrimination in the jobs market. \"All of this was creating a cocktail that was waiting to explode.\" Professor Gus John is former chair of the Moss Side Defence Committee, which was set up following the riots. He remembers Moss Side in the summer of '81 as a \"powder keg waiting to go off\". Haven of hope But he believes the lessons of Moss Side 30 years ago have not been learned. \"The employment situation is still dire and, generally speaking, there is still a sense of despair and hopelessness among young people,\" he said. \"One of the reasons why we were able to interact [in the 1980s] is that we still had a core of youth and community workers who knew the area, and knew the young people. \"They trusted some of us and therefore they knew there was a buffer between them and the long arm of the state. \"And I'm not quite sure that is the case any more.\" But Gabrielle Cox doesn't agree. A former Moss Side councillor, she has been closely involved in the Hideaway Youth Project which has been providing support and advice for young people in Moss Side for 45 years. It is currently working with the Millennium Powerhouse and Moss Side leisure centre to run apprenticeships in sports management. Mrs Cox said that, while Moss Side has suffered from an image problem, Hideaway was building \"hope for the future\". \"Young people felt that if you put Moss Side as your address, you wouldn't get a job,\" she said. \"People remember the headlines, but what they don't realise is that there's an entire community working together who have made so many of those issues a thing of the past.\" \"Our aim is straightforward: we help these young people to believe in themselves and to make the most of their lives by looking ahead.\" Drug world Father Sumner - who moved to Oldham following the town's 2001 riots - still visits Moss Side every Friday to meet up with friends and visit the gym. He believes the resilience of Moss Side's \"vibrant community\" means the area is unlikely to see the explosion of anger it witnessed 30 years ago. \"You've got all sorts of alternative economies now in Moss Side,\" he said. \"Because of the existence of the drug world and these economies, you probably have less reasons for people to riot. \"If you've got money coming into an area - even if it's not legal - you've got less of that antipathy towards society as a whole. \"It's when you've got nothing that you get angry with everybody.\"",

The top Republican in Congress, House Speaker Paul Ryan, said Mr Trump must see that \"Russia is not our ally\". The president's own intelligence chief publicly broke with him. Russia is responsible for \"ongoing, pervasive attempts\" to undermine US democracy, Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats said in a statement. Mr Putin denied the claim. On Monday the US and Russian presidents held nearly two hours of one-on-one talks without their advisers in the Finnish capital Helsinki . What did President Trump say? At a news conference after the summit, he was asked if he believed his own intelligence agencies or the Russian president when it came to allegations of meddling in the election. \"President Putin says it's not Russia. I don't see any reason why it would be,\" he replied. Mr Trump also blamed poor relations with Russia on past US administrations rather than Russian actions. US intelligence agencies concluded in 2016 that Russia was behind an effort to tip the scale of the US election against Hillary Clinton, with a state-authorised campaign of cyber attacks and fake news stories planted on social media. Mr Trump later backtracked, tweeting that he had \"great confidence in my intelligence people\". How did it play at home? Badly. In a strongly worded statement, Mr Ryan said: \"There is no moral equivalence between the United States and Russia, which remains hostile to our most basic values and ideals. He added that there was \"no question\" Moscow had interfered in the 2016 election. Senator John McCain, a key member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, said it was a \"disgraceful performance\". \"No prior president has ever abased himself more abjectly before a tyrant,\" Mr McCain said in a statement. Another senior Republican, Sen Lindsey Graham, also a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, tweeted that it was a \"missed opportunity... to firmly hold Russia accountable for 2016 meddling\". In a series of tweets, Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer said Mr Trump's actions had \"strengthened our adversaries while weakening our defences and those of our allies\". Former CIA director John Brennan said Mr Trump's news conference \"was nothing short of treasonous\". \"Not only were Trump's comments imbecilic, he is wholly in the pocket of Putin. Republican Patriots: Where are you???\" he tweeted. Meanwhile, Vice-President Mike Pence defended the summit and praised President Trump. Some US politicians had called for the summit to be cancelled after 12 Russian military intelligence agents were indicted last week, accused of hacking Hillary Clinton's election campaign. What did President Putin say? Speaking at the joint news conference, President Putin offered to allow US investigators to visit Russia to question the officers. In a later interview with Fox News, Mr Putin said it was \"ridiculous\" that some people thought Russia could have influenced the US elections. He said US-Russian relations should not be \"held hostage\" to an internal political struggle in America. Mr Putin also dismissed longstanding reports that Russian intelligence may hold compromising material on Mr Trump. The Russian president said that before the election Mr Trump was just a \"rich person\" and \"of no interest for us\". And Mr Putin accused the UK of making \"ungrounded accusations\" over the recent poisoning of ex-Soviet spy Sergei Skripal and three other people with the \"novichok\" nerve agent. One of those people has since died. Referring to the Skripal case, Mr Putin said Russia had received no evidence about it. \"Nobody gives it to us, he said. \"It's the same thing as the accusations with meddling into the election process in America.\" After Helsinki, the fallout at home Analysis by BBC North America reporter Anthony Zurcher With no tangible results from the summit, the two leaders are framing this as the first of many meetings to come. Given the American reaction from across the political spectrum, however, future meetings may be difficult to pull off. After a week abroad, Mr Trump on Monday delivered the coup de grace for what has been a highly disruptive week in US foreign affairs. European allies are uneasy. US-Russia relations are uncertain. And the US political world - and even the White House's own communications team - is unsettled. Mr Putin described the Helsinki meeting as \"candid and useful\" while Mr Trump said there had been \"deeply productive dialogue\". Mr Trump said US-Russia relations had \"never been worse\" than before they met, but that had now changed. Relations between Russia and the West were severely strained by Moscow's annexation of Crimea from Ukraine in 2014 and Russia's support for separatists in eastern Ukraine.",

The trust - which covers Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Essex, Hertfordshire, Norfolk and Suffolk - has 4,000 members of staff and 324 ambulances. It received more than 96,000 calls in the three-week Christmas period to 16 January 2018. A trust spokeswoman confirmed that although 136 significant delays were reported in that time - 22 were deemed \"serious incidents\".

It is his first visit to Britain since winning the 2016 presidential election. Thousands are expected to protest against the president in London on Thursday and Friday. BBC diplomatic correspondent James Robbins described the trip as \"the most controversial visit ever made by an American president to Britain\". What will he do and who will he meet? Mr Trump will fly to the UK on Thursday afternoon with First Lady Melania Trump, following a Nato summit in Brussels. The couple will attend a black-tie dinner on Thursday at Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire. Invited guests - including a number of business leaders - will eat dinner to the sounds of the Countess of Wessex's Orchestra, which will play a \"series of classic British and American hits\", according to a spokeswoman for Prime Minister Theresa May. After spending Thursday night as a guest of US ambassador Woody Johnson at his London residence, Winfield House, the president will join the prime minister to watch a UK military exercise, before the pair travel to Chequers - the PM's country residence in Buckinghamshire - for bilateral talks. The president and first lady will then travel to Windsor to meet the Queen on Friday afternoon. On the final leg of the tour, the couple will fly to Scotland, where they plan to spend the weekend at Mr Trump's Turnberry golf resort. The president's time in Scotland is not counted as part of the working visit. What is the difference between a working visit and a state visit? A state visit is a formal visit by a head of state and is normally at the invitation of the Queen, who acts on advice from the government. The Queen acts as the official host for the duration of the trip, and visitors usually stay at either Buckingham Palace or Windsor Castle. There is usually a state banquet and a visit to - and speeches at - the Houses of Parliament may be included. A working visit - like the one Mr Trump is making - may include some of the same activities as a state visit, but there are small differences. For example, on a working visit, the visiting head of state does not address Parliament, nor is their accommodation organised and funded by the UK. Travel plans on a working visit are also organised and funded by the visiting country. What protests are planned? Tens of thousands are expected to protest against the president in London on Thursday and Friday and in Glasgow on Saturday. Police forces from across the country have been asked to send officers to assist the Metropolitan Police, including 400 from the West Midlands force. London Mayor Sadiq Khan has granted permission for a giant inflatable figure depicting Mr Trump as a baby to fly over Westminster for two hours on the second day of the president's visit. Smaller demonstrations are also expected to be held across the UK including Devon, Dundee, Edinburgh, Belfast, Norwich, Manchester, Leeds and Liverpool. Shaista Aziz, a Labour councillor in Oxford, and one of the organisers of the Together Against Trump protest in London, said the demonstration was about saying \"very clearly that we reject the policies of this administration\". What are the security arrangements? British police have not revealed the exact number of officers required to work during Mr Trump's trip - but the Police Federation has warned the visit will put \"unquestionable pressure\" on UK police forces. Forces from across the country have been asked to send thousands of officers to assist with protests. The Home Office said they can be \"recompensed by the hosting force\". The Treasury has confirmed it will fund policing costs of up to £5m in Scotland. The National Police Chiefs' Council said discussions were ongoing about \"how the resource requirements of this massive operation will be met\" but a spokesman said: \"We are confident that forces will continue to maintain local policing services.\" What about Trump supporters? Mr Trump has a number of high profile supporters in the UK - including prominent Brexiteers Nigel Farage and Boris Johnson. Speaking of Mr Johnson, who resigned as foreign secretary on Monday, Mr Trump said he was a \"friend\" and he hoped he might find time to speak to him during his visit. \"He's been very, very nice to me, very supportive,\" he said. \"I like Boris Johnson, I've always liked him.\" Republicans Overseas UK are organising a rally on Friday to welcome the president while a pub in west London has been renamed The Trump Arms in honour of the visit.

'Simply sensational' - Russia reacts By BBC Monitoring Within minutes, Putin's remarks became top news on Russian TV, which called them \"simply sensational\". On state TV's Channel One, a talk show speculated whether Theresa May would resign upon seeing that Petrov and Boshirov are not Russian hitmen after all, or whether the British government would come up with more \"lies\" to denigrate Russia. Rossiya 1, another government-run TV channel, showed a beaming commentator saying he was \"full of admiration for how Vladimir Putin is doing it\", as the studio erupted in applause. But the Kremlin's media machine suggested the most exciting news is yet to come - when the two suspects appear on TV in person and deal the final blow to accusations of Russia's involvement in the poisoning. Scotland Yard and the UK's Crown Prosecution Service have said there is enough evidence to charge the men, who are understood to have travelled to London from Moscow on 2 March on Russian passports. Two days later, police say they sprayed the nerve agent, Novichok, on the front door of Mr Skripal's home in the Wiltshire city of Salisbury, before travelling home to Russia later that day. UK Home Secretary Sajid Javid has warned the men, thought to be aged about 40, will be caught and prosecuted if they ever step out of Russia. The CPS is not applying to Russia for the extradition of the two men, as Russia does not extradite its own nationals. But a European Arrest Warrant has been obtained in case they travel to the EU. Det Sgt Nick Bailey also fell ill after responding to the incident in the city of Salisbury. He was later discharged from hospital, as were the Skripals. Police are linking the attack to a separate Novichok poisoning on 30 June, when Dawn Sturgess and Charlie Rowley became unwell at a house in Amesbury, about eight miles away. Ms Sturgess died in hospital on 8 July. UK police said the two men arrived at Gatwick Airport from Moscow on 2 March and stayed at the City Stay Hotel in Bow Road, east London. On 4 March they travelled to Salisbury - having also visited for reconnaissance the previous day - where Mr Skripal's front door was contaminated with Novichok. Officers believe a modified perfume bottle was used to spray the door. The pair flew back to Moscow from Heathrow later that night. Police said Ms Sturgess and Mr Rowley were later exposed to Novichok after handling a contaminated container, labelled as Nina Ricci Premier Jour perfume. Mr Rowley told police he found the box containing the small bottle and an applicator - all found to be counterfeit - in a charity bin. He tried to put bottle and applicator together and got some of the contents on himself. His partner, Ms Sturgess, applied some of the contents to her wrists and became unwell. The attack in Salisbury prompted an international row, with more than 20 countries expelling Russian envoys in solidarity with the UK, including the US, while Moscow expelled diplomats in response. Last month the US confirmed it was implementing fresh sanctions against Russia over the incident. UK Prime Minister Theresa May has also said Britain will push for the EU to agree new sanctions. Since the UK named the two suspects, US, France, Germany and Canada have agreed that the Russian government \"almost certainly\" approved the poisoning of the Skripals and have urged Russia to provide full disclosure of its Novichok programme. In response, Russia accused the British authorities of Russophobia, misleading the international community and UK citizens and of \"disgusting anti-Russian hysteria\".",

            "input": "The allegations - first aired by local network Nine - assert that a suspected Chinese espionage ring approached a Chinese-Australian man to run as an MP. The 32-year-old man has since died in unexplained circumstances. China has denied the allegations, which Australia's domestic spy agency has confirmed it is investigating. In a rare public statement, the agency said it was taking the allegations seriously. Mr Morrison said he found the reports troubling, but warned against \"leaping to conclusions\". What are the allegations? On Sunday, Nine's 60 Minutes programme reported that suspected Chinese agents approached a luxury car dealer, Bo \"Nick\" Zhao, ahead of Australia's general election - which took place in May. They allegedly offered him A$1m (£520,000; $680,000) to fund his run for a Melbourne seat as a candidate for the ruling Liberal Party, of which Mr Zhao was already a member. Mr Zhao gave information about the alleged approach to the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (Asio) last year, Nine reported. He was found dead in a hotel room in Melbourne in March. Police have not been able to establish how or why he died, and his death has prompted a coroner's inquiry. What other claims have been made? Nine has also reported that a man claiming to be a Chinese spy has applied for asylum in Australia, in an unrelated case. Wang \"William\" Liqiang has reportedly given authorities information about operations in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Australia, saying he was \"personally involved\" in espionage work. Mr Wang also told 60 Minutes that he was aware of several Chinese spies operating in Australia and attempting to influence politics. Chinese officials have dismissed Mr Wang's claim, and say that he is an unemployed fugitive who was convicted of fraud before fleeing his homeland on a fake passport. What has been the response? In a statement, Asio director-general Mike Burgess said: \"Australians can be reassured that Asio was previously aware of matters that have been reported today, and has been actively investigating them.\" He said he would not comment further in line with \"long-standing practice\", but added: \"Hostile foreign intelligence activity continues to pose a real threat to our nation and its security.\" Mr Morrison said his government was determined to keep Australians \"free and safe\", but urged people not to draw conclusions while an investigation took place. \"Australia is not naive to the threats that it faces more broadly,\" he told reporters on Monday. MP Andrew Hastie, who heads the parliament's intelligence and security committee, told 60 Minutes he had been aware of the \"very, very concerning\" allegations for months. \"[It is] like something out of a spy novel happening in Melbourne with impunity,\" he said. But Chinese officials have dismissed the allegations, saying Beijing does not meddle in the internal politics of other countries. Foreign ministry spokesman Geng Shuang accused people and media outlets of having \"become seized with imaginary fears\". \"They constantly fabricate cases of so-called Chinese spies infiltrating Australia,\" he told reporters on Monday. What's the background? There is an ongoing debate about Chinese influence in Australian politics and society. Some politicians have accused Beijing of trying to infiltrate Canberra through donations and other means. Others, however, believe the allegations are fuelling xenophobia and putting at risk the nation's prosperity because China is Australia's largest trading partner. Australia passed new laws last year aimed at countering foreign interference. At the time, then Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull acknowledged \"disturbing reports about Chinese influence\" - an assertion that has been consistently denied by Beijing, which has sometimes accused Australia of having a \"Cold War mentality\". Earlier this year, a newly elected Chinese-Australian MP, Gladys Liu, faced intense scrutiny after her past links to Beijing-associated groups were revealed by Australian media. She strongly denied having any divided loyalties, and Prime Minister Scott Morrison asserted she had been the victim of a \"smear\" campaign.",

The situation was blamed for a string of delays to normal services, with reports of people refusing to move when challenged by drivers. Network Rail said a ban would be a \"move of last resort\" but could not be ruled out if lives were being risked. It would not let \"a few thoughtless lawbreakers\" cause dangers and delays, it said. Nearly 60 services were delayed for a total of 1,000 minutes as Flying Scotsman complete its tour of the Midlands last weekend, British Transport Police (BTP) said. The force has issued an image of two photographers it wants to trace, saying it was \"extremely disappointing that a small minority of rail enthusiasts put their lives in grave danger\". One passenger service driver, who asked to remain anonymous, said he saw trainspotting trespassers every 200 yards. Describing it as \"probably the most stressful experience I have ever had\", he said it was \"only a matter of time before someone is seriously injured or killed\" trying to get a photo. Nick Brodrick, editor of Steam Railway magazine, said the problem was \"deeply troubling\". \"When you have drivers having to stop, get out and tell trespassers to move and even then be ignored, the situation is simply unacceptable,\" he said. He said it would be hard to argue with a ban if someone was injured or killed. A Flying Scotsman spokesman said a ban \"would not be a surprise\" but every effort, such as CCTV and extra police on the train, was being taken to avoid the situation.

            "input": "Douglas FraserBusiness/economy editor, Scotland It's proving quite easy to spend a gobsmacking amount of money to keep the economy from collapse. It's more problematic to lend it by the tens of billions. It will almost certainly prove more difficult again to stop splashing government moola. Applying the brakes to the spending, while firing up the boilers on the battered British economy, is now where the chancellor, Rishi Sunak, has turned his attention. He's looking at the bills for the Job Retention Scheme, or furloughing, which now covers nearly quarter of employed workers. That's 6.3 million pay packets the Treasury is having to flood, in reverse, through the PAYE system. The number of self-employed people, on a different income support scheme, is yet to become clear. And 1.8 million more people have applied for Universal Credit since the health and economy crisis began. Looming redundancy Furloughing is, by a long way, the element of support for both firms and individuals that has been most welcomed. But it's still got problems and holes in it. The Scottish Tourism Alliance has just published a survey showing half of its respondents are using it, and only 22% of firms in the sector say it works well for them. Yet however critical they are of the dates for qualifying or any complexity in admin, they know there would and will be a lot of pain without it. Asked last month, and looking to the removal of furlough payments, the tourism survey by TRKR found 47% of firms won't be able to employ any staff at all. One question that raises: if the future is bound to involve redundancy, is it good use of borrowed government funds only to be putting off that date? But such expectations could be confounded if the exit from furlough is well designed and implemented. Tapered exit With business and trade unions asked to comment on draft plans for the ways in which businesses can reopen, one theme running through their responses is that spending taps cannot simply be turned off at the end of June, when the furlough and self-employed schemes are currently due to end. And Mr Sunak gets what they're saying. On Monday, he told ITV News: \"There will be no cliff edge to the furlough scheme. I am working to figure out the most effective way to wind down the scheme and ease people back into work in a measured way. \"But some scenarios have suggested we are potentially spending as much on the furlough scheme as we do on the NHS, for example. Now clearly that is not a sustainable situation.\" (The Chancellor did not say this to ITV's partner on Channel 3, STV News. Had he linked to the Glasgow newsroom, he would have found that John MacKay, its lead anchorman and the face of the station has... been furloughed. Strange times.) So exit from furlough will have to be tapered, and for several reasons. One is that people are being asked to take a leap off the rescue boat, and back into some extremely choppy waters. To go from 80% of usual income into a dark void of income uncertainty is a big ask. Workers do not know the health risks they may face back at work. They may face future illness as infection continues to spread. With contact tracing now being put in place, we may get a call from a stranger, telling us to go into isolation for 14 days. How is our boss going to feel about that? Those who rely on contracts from other businesses will find many of those clients shell-shocked and unwilling to commit to new spending. Where customers are the public, they are being told to be very cautious until there's a vaccine, and that's probably a long way off. Stretched tight The other reason for tapering the furlough is to allow employees to do some work. Unlike the self-employed, those on furlough payments are barred from doing anything for their employer. When the time comes to crank up the office, numerous changes will be required to manage the use of space and impose social distancing. A lot of yellow tape will be applied to workplace floors to manage one-way flows and keep people two metres apart. Personal protective equipment will have to be sourced in advance, with supply chains stretched tight. None of that can be done in advance of a restart by staff who are not allowed to work. And there's another risk of furlough being withdrawn too quickly: some companies will move from furlough straight to redundancy. A careful government policy should seek to minimise that, with tapering and perhaps other incentives to employers. Nations and regions Can and will it be done differently in Scotland and England? That question betrays the default position of a pre-Covid-19 mindset. Yes, it could be done differently. Nicola Sturgeon has said there are good ideas in Whitehall's draft guidelines for easing people back to work, but the first minister also raised trade union concerns that should be addressed: about workplace health precautions being \"considered\" rather than mandated. The Scottish government will consult on the guidelines/rules, and can adapt them as necessary. But this is not merely familiar tension between Holyrood and Westminster. \"Unlockdown\", as the prime minister is reported to call the process, could also be done differently around the regions of England. In a paper published in London last week, the Institute for Government pointed out that a regional approach has been tried in South Korea and Japan, and now in Italy. By lifting restrictions in different regions and nations, it allows the path of infection to be tracked, to see what works best. But the institute also points out the risk of confusing the public with a more complex message. There will have to be some thought given to travel restrictions between high-restriction and low-restriction areas. And a big complication is how continued support for furlough costs in one part of the UK would be funded, while there's withdrawal from another part. Liberating women The divergence will likely be between sectors of the economy. Outdoor work has been flagged up as being at the front of the queue, while hospitality looks likely to be among the last to start trading under the \"new normal\". And there could be demographic divergence. Can all those aged over 70 continue to face incarceration when the state of their health varies so much? Can children - who may yet be proven to have lower infection rates, and less dire escalation of symptoms - be given the opportunity to choose a \"bubble\" of friends for play as well as learning, so long as they stick to the same bubble members? As young adults may be at less risk from the virus and at more risk than other groups from the economic impact on their finances and job prospects, can they be given priority for relaxed rules? And if it's true that women are less susceptible to the life-threatening complications from Covid-19 that afflict men, could there be an easing of restrictions on women without men? I wouldn't bet on it. It's clear that whichever route is taken - and there could be several such divergences around the UK at one time - the increased complexity risks not only confusion, but a sense of unfairness. And if people don't feel the application of rules is reasonable or fair, that's where the surprisingly high levels of compliance in phase one could be undermined in subsequent phases. Cash for clunkers The Institute for Government points out that it will not be sufficient simply to withdraw restrictions, as if economic activity will naturally and quickly flow back into the space occupied by constraints. It won't. For those reasons of stickiness of purchasing decisions by both business clients and consumers, there will also be a requirement on Rishi Sunak to stimulate activity. As well as spending, there are tax levers available. Companies could be incentivised to invest in anti-infection measures around workplaces, which will be an added cost to cash-strapped firms. Or consumer choices can be stimulated. VAT cuts targeted at specific sectors of consumer goods, for instance? In Germany, there's already been an announcement that VAT will have a temporary cut for restaurant meals starting in July. It gives customers and restaurateurs something to book and look forward to. To boost rehiring of people, one controversial idea from the Institute of Government report is holding back on further increases to the legislated minimum wage, though this would be at a time when low-paid key workers have won a lot of public sympathy. And could there be a car scrappage scheme, similar to the one we had 11 years ago to help jump-start the economy out of the financial crunch, but weighted heavily towards low-emission vehicles? In the USA, it was known as \"cash for clunkers\". This could hit the twin objectives of stimulating the economy while lowering emissions from the nation's fleet of vehicles. Relaxing the rules will have to be complex as well as cautious. It will require encouragement and incentives, and the continuation of a very large bill for government.",

Nearly a quarter of employed people are being furloughed. Getting them back to work brings risks for them and for infection, and will require trust and confidence. Government cannot simply unwind restrictions. It will have to offer tax incentives to get money moving round the economy once more."

            "input": "It comes amid severe Covid-19 related pressures on the health service in NI. Hospitals have faced severe pressures over the past few days, with ambulances queuing outside hospitals. It is not the first time NAS ambulances have helped out in NI, they assisted during the first wave of the pandemic and also in 2019. Irish Health Minister Stephen Donnelly said ambulance crews from the Republic of Ireland will \"provide support\" to the Northern Ireland Ambulance service (NIAS) over the weekend \"due to the pressures being experienced\". The Northern Ireland Ambulance Service said: \"This additional capacity is very welcome and NIAS is extremely grateful to our colleagues in NAS and their staff for agreeing to, for the second time over the past 12 months, lend their support at a challenging time.\" Earlier on Thursday, the chairman of the British Medical Association (BMA) in NI, Dr Tom Black, said the NI health service faces a \"nightmare six weeks ahead\" Dr Black said pressure on the system meant healthcare staff \"will have to make moral and ethical decisions they weren't trained for\". \"You really don't want to get sick over the next six weeks,\" he said. On Tuesday night, doctors treated patients in ambulances with 17 vehicles queued outside Antrim Area Hospital hospital at one point. Dr Black told BBC Radio Ulster's Good Morning Ulster programme that society must \"recalibrate\" to remember why the public health guidance is important. He described the past eight weeks of restrictions as \"insufficient.\" \"I'm really annoyed about the position that the staff in NI have been put under - they're worked to the bone and are now going to have to make choices they should not have to make in a civilised society,\" he added. Dr Black said he believed the Republic of Ireland was \"coping much better than we are\". The executive is meeting to discuss tougher rules, but Mr Black said he felt NI was \"nearly past more restrictions\". Meanwhile, Dr Gabriel Scally, president of epidemiology at the Royal Society of Medicine, told BBC Radio Foyle the executive \"needs to be very clear about the seriousness of the situation\". \"People shouldn't celebrate Christmas the way we traditionally have done with family gatherings, particularly multi-generational gatherings,\" he said. He said he believed bars and restaurants should not be open. Chief Executive of the Northern Health and Social Care Trust, Jennifer Welsh, also told the programme she knew many families were choosing not to get together over Christmas due to concern about the potential impact on other family members. \"That is the situation my own family is going into and that's the message that I would want to put out,\" she said. She added that the emergency department situation had improved slightly but the numbers are still higher than should be expected at this time of year. \"It is concerning in December when we know there is worse to come,\" she said. 'Carrot and stick' Meanwhile NI's Chief Nursing Officer Charlotte McArdle, said the lack of access for some families to their relatives in care homes during the pandemic had been a real \"concern\" for her. Department of Health officials issued a joint letter on Wednesday to the care home sector urging visits for residents to be facilitated over the Christmas season. \"This letter is our obligation to families, to make sure that people are not left out on their own over Christmas,\" she said. \"There is a bit of stick in here, but we would much rather a carrot approach, and we will continue to provide support to care homes,\" she added. \"It's access to families to see their relatives over what is supposed to be a time of family togetherness,\" she said. Health Minister Robin Swann had previously said \"forceful encouragement\" could be necessary if some care homes do not change their visiting arrangements.

            "input": "By Dan WhitworthNewsbeat reporter Faulty electrics, damp and broken boilers that don't get fixed are all officially classed as category one hazards which pose a risk to health. But many private tenants are worried that if they complain too much, they will be evicted. The law in England changed in 2015 to make \"revenge evictions\" illegal. But it only applies to rental agreements signed since 1st October 2015. Despite that change though, figures gathered by Radio 1 Newsbeat through Freedom of Information requests show that more than half of local councils across England haven't used these powers. This could be down to a lack of awareness among tenants. And a tightening of council budgets means some local authorities are able to be more proactive than others. There are also concerns from the Housing Law Practitioners Association (HLPA) that the way the law is designed is too complicated. Tenants must have made any complaints to a landlord in writing before they are served with a Section 21 eviction notice. Complaints made in person or over the phone don't count and leave the tenant with little power. Often it is vulnerable people who are most risk from revenge evictions - like those who don't have the confidence or resources needed to fight a rogue landlord, people who don't have strong reading or writing skills and others who are often only one step up from sleeping on the streets and so desperate to avoid losing their home. Liz James, 24, lives in a one-room flat in Leeds. There are large patches of damp covering almost an entire wall and the electrics are faulty. In addition one of her windows doesn't close properly, leaving a two centimetre gap on one side. On the day she invites Newsbeat into her home, it is -2C outside. \"It's unfair. I can't bring people back to the flat. \"When I first came here I didn't want to move in because of the problems with the front door [but]... I don't want to keep complaining because he might kick me out.\" When we ask her if she fears a revenge eviction, her answer is stark. In short, she is scared of \"being on the street\". \"I've been on the street and it isn't nice. I've been on the street and it is horrible.\" We had to stop the interview there because Liz became too upset to keep talking. Bryan Wagner-Adair is from Leeds City Council. \"We do get an awful lot of people coming in saying they've been complaining about things like damp, general disrepairs and electrical problems,\" he explains. And he thinks it's a growing problem. \"It's difficult to gauge the level... but certainly we get a lot of people coming in saying the landlord has told them to leave. \"When we dig into it a bit further we find this is on the back of them having reported ongoing disrepair issues with the property.\" In a statement the Department for Communities and Local Government said \"retaliatory evictions are rare and Shelter have estimated that they affect just 2% of tenancies. \"However we have given councils new powers under the Deregulation Act to stop revenge evictions and they should use them where necessary.\" Helen Gould was hit with a revenge eviction before those new powers under the Deregulation Act 2015 came into effect and made them illegal. At the time she was living with her mum, younger sister and baby daughter. \"We wrote to our landlord [to complain about damp] and within a week of him receiving that we received a Section 21 eviction notice... telling us to get out.\" Helen's mum was her biggest support in helping raise her daughter so the eviction had a profound impact on her. \"We've now been split up and we're now living about four miles away from each other. \"That completely floored me\". The homelessness charity Shelter says \"the change in the law was a vital first step to prevent the most serious cases but we need to give all renters more security, starting with the introduction of five year tenancies for all.\" A YouGov survey of 4500 people for the charity three years ago suggested that 200,000 people have either been hit with a revenge eviction or been threatened with one. Anecdotal evidence from campaigners, MPs, and housing lawyers suggests the number is much higher, because many just don't complain. When the law was proposed the National Landlords Association described it as a \"pre-election crowd-pleaser\" that would do little to tackle the problem. A Local Government Association spokesman said stopping revenge evictions is a complex legal process: \"Councils are working hard to tackle bad practice by rogue landlords to ensure they are dealt with robustly and effectively. \"However, not only are rogue evictions hard to prove, but a council may not know when an eviction notice is contested in court.\" Labour MP Clive Betts chairs the communities and local government select committee and says the law is not working. \"I can't believe there are that many local authorities where no-one has been the subject to a revenge eviction. \"We're talking about landlords here who are trying to avoid carrying out their responsibilities. \"They're the landlords we've got to get at - and they're going to be in the worst properties, with people living in the worst conditions.

The coffin was also driven to the home of Banks's former club Stoke City where hundreds more chanted and applauded. Jack and Sir Bobby Charlton were among mourners at a later church service. The brothers - who won the World Cup with Banks in 1966 - attended Stoke Minster where Wembley teammate Hurst paid tribute. Hurst said it was a \"very sad day\", describing his former teammate as the \"greatest goalkeeper we've had\". The funeral started with a rendition of Abide with Me - a hymn synonymous with the FA Cup final. Monday's service was held on the 47th anniversary of Stoke City's 1972 League Cup final victory over Chelsea in which Banks played a leading role. Before the funeral, members of the public stood five or six-deep on pavements around Stoke-on-Trent, with people inside the bet365 Stadium chanting \"England's number one\" as Banks's achievements were displayed on a big screen. His coffin was carried by goalkeepers from his three ex-clubs, Stoke, Leicester City and Chesterfield. The pallbearers were Stoke and England goalkeeper Jack Butland; Leicester's Kasper Schmeichel; Chesterfield keeper Joe Anyon; and England and Burnley's Joe Hart. The service ended with a recording of the song My Way performed by Frank Sinatra. Banks, who died on 12 February aged 81, started his career at Chesterfield before joining Leicester City in 1959 for £7,000. At Leicester, he established himself as England's number one, earning his first international cap in 1963 against Scotland. In eight years at Leicester, he was runner-up in two FA Cup finals and won the League Cup in 1964, before joining Stoke in 1967. He stayed at the Potters until his retirement from professional football, winning the League Cup again in 1972, the club's only major honour. Fifa named him goalkeeper of the year six times and he earned 73 caps for England. He played in every game of the 1966 World Cup campaign, culminating in the 4-2 victory over West Germany in the final at Wembley. Hurst delivered a eulogy, describing Banks as \"a superstar on the field, [but] off the field he was an ordinary guy with no airs or graces\". He added: \"He was a joker, a funny man, for over 50 years, and every time we met during our careers or years after he would come up and joke.\" Stoke City chairman Peter Coates told mourners: \"We regard him as our adopted, famous son. \"He was fully integrated into the community at all levels and he was at home with us and we were at home with him.\" Banks's daughter Wendy said the outpouring of love had been a comfort, adding: \"It makes you feel very humble and proud all at the same time.\" \"It was football, Match of the Day and laughs; I miss everything already,\" she said.

            "input": "Hundreds of people gathered outside the court in which 47 fellow activists appeared on Monday to face charges of conspiracy to commit subversion. Police told the crowds that they too were in breach of the controversial National Security Law. China enacted the law last year, saying it is needed to bring stability. Critics say it has silenced dissent. The law came into force after a series of mass pro-democracy protests in 2019, some of which turned violent. The 47 pro-democracy activists appearing in court - 39 men and eight women, aged between 23 and 64 - were among a group of 55 people arrested in dawn raids last month. They had helped run an unofficial \"primary\" election last June to pick opposition candidates for 2020 legislative elections, which the government then postponed. Chinese and Hong Kong officials say the primary was an attempt to overthrow the government. On Monday, police officers were deployed to control the crowds as pro-democracy supporters queued for seats at the court hearing. Some chanted slogans including \"liberate Hong Kong, revolution of our times\" and \"fight for freedom, stand with Hong Kong\". At the scene: Handwritten banners and warning flags Grace Tsoi, BBC News, Hong Kong Hundreds were queuing outside the West Kowloon Magistrates' Court before the hearing for the 47 pro-democracy activists - some came as early as last night. Most of them wore black, the colour of choice by protesters in 2019. Banners filled with handwritten messages were displayed. The chanting of the slogan \"liberate Hong Kong, revolution of our times\" - which the government has said breaches the National Security Law - was occasionally heard. Mr Chak, who is in his 50s, told me that he came to the court in the afternoon and knew that he wouldn't be able to go inside because of limited seating. But he wanted to show moral support to the activists. Things got tense when police used coloured flags to warn the crowd about participating in an illegal assembly and possibly breaching the National Security Law. But a few pro-Beijing supporters were also present, in a celebratory mood. One of their banners read: \"Severely punish traitors and those who sell out the country, and all of them will be jailed after the National Security Law.\" Police warned those gathered to split into groups of no more than four or face fines. Those appearing at the court to face charges had been told on Sunday to report to police stations for detention ahead of the hearing. Hong Kong police said in a statement: \"Police this afternoon laid a charge against 47 persons... with one count of 'conspiracy to commit subversion'.\" Who has been charged? The 47 are some of the territory's best-known democracy campaigners. They include veterans such as academic Benny Tai and politician Leung Kwok-hung, and younger protesters like Gwyneth Ho, Sam Cheung and Lester Shum. Jimmy Sham, who leads a major non-violent protest group, remained defiant as he went to the police station. \"Democracy is never a gift from heaven. It must be earned by many with strong will,\" he said. \"We will remain strong and fight for what we want.\" Before turning herself in, Gwyneth Ho posted: \"I hope everyone can find their road to peace of mind and then press forward with indomitable will.\" Sam Cheung said: \"I hope everyone won't give up on Hong Kong... fight on.\" The charges carry a maximum term of life imprisonment. Bail is unlikely, with Benny Tai saying his chances were \"not too great\". UK Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab said on Monday that the decision to bring charges against the 47 was a \"deeply disturbing\" step that violated the joint declaration Beijing reached with Britain when the former colony was handed back to China. Amnesty International has described the January raids that detained the 55 as \"the starkest demonstration yet of how the National Security Law has been weaponised to punish anyone who dares to challenge the establishment\". About 100 people have so far been arrested under the security law, including prominent China critic and media tycoon Jimmy Lai, who was denied bail and is in detention awaiting trial. No trials have yet begun in full. The first is expected to be that of Tong Ying-kit, who is accused of riding a motorcycle into police officers last July. He appeared in court in November to enter a not guilty plea. He is expected to be tried by three judges rather than a jury. What is in the National Security Law? A former British colony, Hong Kong was handed back to China in 1997 but under the \"one country, two systems\" principle. It was supposed to guarantee certain freedoms for the territory - including freedom of assembly and speech, an independent judiciary and some democratic rights - which mainland China does not have. But the National Security Law has reduced Hong Kong's autonomy and made it easier to punish demonstrators. The legislation introduced new crimes, including penalties of up to life in prison. Anyone found to have conspired with foreigners to provoke \"hatred\" of the Chinese government or the Hong Kong authorities may have committed a crime. Trials can be held in secret and without a jury, and cases can be taken over by the mainland authorities. Mainland security personnel can legally operate in Hong Kong with impunity. After the law was introduced, a number of pro-democracy groups disbanded out of fears for their safety.",

Shelter said lone parents were bearing the brunt of the housing crisis, by juggling part-time work and childcare. The government said it was investing £1.2bn in tackling homelessness. Polly Neate, chief executive of Shelter, said: \"Of the thousands of families battling with the grim reality of homelessness, the vast majority are single parents.\" Their limited incomes make it hard for them to contend with high private rents and welfare cuts, she added. 'Safety net?' Dalia Ben-Galim, policy director at charity Gingerbread, said more and more single parents were reaching out to the charity for advice and support when facing eviction and homelessness. \"The vast majority of single parents are working. \"But with a perfect storm of rising living costs, stagnating wages and changes to the benefit system eroding an essential safety net for families, single parents are hard hit and struggling to keep a roof above their children's heads.\" She added that Universal Credit and the benefit cap must be reformed to reduce the disproportionate negative impact changes are having on single parents. The vast majority of families with children will be housed in temporary accommodation rather than being left to sleep rough. The statistics, published on Thursday, also show the number of households in temporary accommodation has risen by nearly two-thirds since 2010. 'Dangerous' On 31 December last year, 78,930 households were in temporary accommodation, up 64% since the start of the decade. The figure was also 4% higher than last year, when there were 75,740. Jon Sparkes, chief executive of homeless charity Crisis, said: \"Temporary accommodation is often cramped, unsuitable and sometimes even dangerous. \"It can have a devastating impact on people's lives and mental health, and it's no place for anyone to call home.\" Homelessness minister Heather Wheeler said: \"Government is serious about reducing homelessness and rough sleeping - we're investing £1.2bn to 2020 to address the issue and next month sees the most ambitious legislation in decades to prevent homelessness come into force. \"These latest statistics show encouraging signs that our investment and targeted support for local authorities is having a positive impact.\"",

It said delays in accessing labour markets from EU countries have the potential, in some instances, of leading to production being shut in. The UK government said employers could continue recruiting from Europe up until 2020. The report said about 5% of workers in the UK oil and gas sector come from other EU countries. That figure rises to seven percent for the offshore workforce. The report said it was \"vital that arrangements are in place between the UK and EU to allow the continued frictionless movement of people\". One example related to emergency response vessels stationed close to platforms, which require skilled engineers to operate. 'Continued volatility' The report said that if difficulties arose in recruiting replacements then platforms would have to shut down operations and production. To minimise the impact of Brexit, Oil and Gas UK said it was vital that the UK government secured frictionless access to markets and labour, maintained a strong voice in Europe for the industry, and protected the internal energy market. The 2018 Economic Report revealed that oil prices in the first half of the year were 30% higher than 2017, averaging more than $70 per barrel. Along with the continued drive to bring down costs, that was estimated to have created more than £10bn of free cash flow. But it said investors \"will continue to favour a conservative outlook\" because of the continued volatility of the oil price. Chief executive Deirdre Michie said: \"Industry is emerging from one of the most testing downturns in its history. However, the steps that have been taken by industry, government and the regulator have delivered tangible results. \"Despite the improvements seen in recent years, we find ourselves at a crossroads. Record low drilling activity, coupled with the supply chain squeeze, threaten industry's ability to effectively service an increase in activity and maximise economic recovery. \"The UK Continental Shelf (UKCS) is a more attractive investment proposition - our challenge now is to take advantage of this. \"We have to drive an increase in activity while continuing to find and implement even more efficient ways of working which support the health of supply chain companies whilst also keeping costs under control.\" The report said the cost of producing oil had halved since its peak and was now averaging around $15 per barrel. This has followed an industry-wide drive to bring down costs and extend the life of the UK sector. A spokesman for the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy said: \"The oil and gas industry is crucial to the UK's economy and energy security. That's why we are providing a £2.3bn support package of measures. \"EU citizens make a huge contribution to the oil and gas industry and we've provided certainty to the industry that employers will be free to continue recruiting from Europe up until 2020.\"",

North Korea has conducted six nuclear tests so far, all at Punggye-ri, which consists of a system of tunnels dug beneath a mountainous region. 38 North said its latest pictures, which were taken a day after the latest test, showed landslides as well as numerous areas of gravel and scree fields which were \"lofted\" from the tremors. Lofting occurs when shockwaves force material to be lifted up from the ground, and the material falls back down in the same place. The disturbances took place near Mount Mantap, the highest point in the test site. They were \"more numerous and widespread than what we have seen from any of the five tests North Korea previously conducted\", the site's analysis said. But it added that while the test triggered a powerful tremor, it did not appear to have caused the crater to collapse. Some experts believe however that the nuclear test did cause an underground tunnel at Punggye-ri to collapse. Sunday's bomb was thought to have had a power range from 50 to 120 kilotonnes. A 50kt device would be about three times the size of the US bomb that destroyed Hiroshima in 1945. The repeated tests have prompted concerns about the test site's longevity, although experts are divided.

The Old Bailey heard she was caught up in a gang feud when she was shot in the neck by a bicycle-riding gunman who fired through the shop's window. Leon Dunkley, 22, and Mohammed Smoured, 21, both of Hackney, were each sentenced to 32-year minimum terms. Judge Peter Beaumont, the Recorder of London, said the sentence was to act as a deterrent. \"Gun violence with loaded weapons that imperils innocent people on the streets of London has to be stopped,\" he said. To the killers he said: \"Not only have you taken a life, you have destroyed a family's happiness and destroyed your own lives too.\" Agnes was a \"popular and successful\" teenager who was considered a potential Oxbridge candidate by her school, the court heard. Future 'taken away' She was waiting for her takeaway when Dunkley and Smoured cycled up to the Hoxton Chicken and Pizza Shop where Dunkley pulled out his sub-machine gun and fired through the shop window. Jurors saw CCTV footage taken from inside the shop where Agnes could be seen playing with her friend's hair seconds before the attack. Another friend ducked down when she spotted the gunmen outside but Agnes was shot in the throat as she looked up to see them. The footage showed her falling to the ground and rolling over clutching her face. She died in hospital 36 hours later. Simon Denison QC, prosecuting, told the trial: \"Her future was taken away from her in an instant.\" In a victim impact statement Agnes's brother, Abiola Inakoju, said his younger sister, who was \"full of ambition\", had visited Oxford University the week before her death. He said: \"Agnes Sina-Inakoju was a very beautiful, friendly, brilliant and intelligent young girl with lots of potential. \"She was full of ambition and intended to go to Oxford University to continue her study after school. \"Back in March 2009 Agnes represented her school, Haggerston School, in the Hackney regional finals of 'John Petchey's Speak Out Challenge', where she won second place for her presentation about racism that she presented in front of lots of people at the Hackney Empire. \"Agnes had plenty of time for her friends and family. She was a very popular girl and fun to be with. \"Agnes' family have lost a sister, friend and daughter. \"We still can't believe that she has been taken away from us at such a young age. We are still coming to terms with her loss and the fact that we will never see her again. \"She remains in our hearts, where she will remain forever\". The killers, who were members of the London Fields gang, believed members of the rival Hoxton Boys gang were near the shop, the court heard. The attack was to avenge the beating of one of their gang members. The murder weapon - a 9mm Agram sub-machine gun - was used in six other shootings, the court heard. Police investigating the murder found an arsenal of deadly weapons, including a loaded Mac-10 sub-machine gun, a loaded shotgun and ammunition and a loaded .38 revolver. The Mac-10 was used in four other shootings, the court heard. Two teenage boys, aged 16 and 17, were convicted of firearms offences for holding weapons on behalf of older members of the London Fields gang. The judge lifted reporting restrictions on naming 17-year-old Dwayne Wisdom, of Hackney. He was also found guilty of assisting an offender by moving the firearm. Wisdom and the other teenager will be sentenced at a later date. Following the verdict, Det Ch Insp John Crossley said: \"Agnes was a totally innocent victim of gun crime. \"We are pleased with today's verdict, but convictions such as these can only be secured with the assistance of the public, and I would like to thank the witnesses that were brave enough to come forward and give evidence in this case.\" Mr Crossley's comments come after the court heard that gang members warned people not to help police with the murder inquiry. The officer added that in the past year gun crime had fallen by 40% in the area.",

The legislation was rushed and now government has lost control, with some retailers taking liberties in a very unfair playing field.\" But The Range said it was following government guidance. \"The Range is classed as an essential retailer and is complying with all aspects of government legislation and guidelines,\" a spokesman for the firm said. \"Our stores trade in a fully Covid-compliant manner, creating a safe environment for our customers and staff.\" 'Mopping up Christmas trade' Martin Coles-Evans runs a gifts and homeware store called Hargreaves & Sons in Buxton, Derbyshire. The business has been going for more than 150 years, but now he says times are \"tough\". \"Shops like ourselves, we're following the rules and we're making people stay safe so we're closed, and yet these bigger companies are trying on loopholes left, right and centre to stay open, when really they shouldn't be,\" he said. \"It does seem to be they're mopping up all the Christmas trade while we're just limping along, struggling trying to get by with some government support.\" The business owner says he visited a garden centre at the weekend that was also selling clothing, shoes, books, home décor, candles and photo frames. He's written to his local MP to voice his concerns but so far he's heard nothing back. All non-essential retail stores - as well as hospitality and leisure venues - must remain closed in England from 5 November to 2 December. Lidl 'stacked high' with toys Toy store owner Hellen Stirling Baker was dismayed to find Lidl supermarket in Sheffield with shelves full of children's playthings, while her doors remain firmly closed. \"Lidl is stacked high with wooden toys and books. It feels like the big supermarkets are capitalising on the fact they are able to sell non-essential goods alongside their essentials, in the run up to Christmas,\" she said. Lidl says it is closely following government guidance, which states: \"A business selling a significant amount of essential retail may also continue to sell goods typically sold at non-essential retail. For example, a supermarket that sells food is not required to close off or cordon off aisles selling homeware.\" \"Why is that allowed to happen?\" asks Ms Stirling Baker. \"It's definitely given the bigger supermarkets and retailers a massively unfair advantage.\" Only stores that sell non-essential goods on another floor or in a different building are required to close those parts of their premises, according to the guidance. The Department for Business, Energy, and Industrial Strategy (Beis) said the restrictions were necessary to slow the spread of coronavirus. \"These restrictions have been brought in because we have to limit social contact in order to control the virus, protect the NHS and save lives,\" a spokeswoman said. \"We recognise this continues to be a very difficult period for businesses, which is why we've confirmed that there will be a full package of financial support in place, with the furlough scheme extended and grants worth up to £3,000 per month for businesses legally required to close.\" Key trading weeks But just six weeks out from Christmas, many store owners say that help doesn't go far enough to compensate business owners who've been forced to close. \"I don't think the government truly understand how retail works in the UK,\" says William Coe, who runs Coe's department store in Ipswich. \"They think if we pay their wages and give them a little towards overheads, they'll be alright. But these are key trading weeks that have massive implications for cash flow and stock and ongoing implications.\" Mr Coe says he understands the government is in a difficult position, \"but if you tell people they have to shut, you have to give them adequate support.\" Other \"non-essential\" retailers including bookstore owners and clothing firms have criticised the government's handling of the second coronavirus lockdown. James Daunt, the boss of Waterstones, told the BBC that \"arbitrary lines\" had been drawn, with smaller bookshops forced to shut, while large newsagents such as WHSmith, which sell books alongside other items, were able to stay open. But a spokesman for WHSmith said the chain isn't really benefitting from the rules, since lockdown means there are far fewer shoppers on High Streets anyway. He said the company is operating in line with government guidance, which allows newsagents and post offices to keep trading.",

They include a £45m loan to the Ferguson shipyard on the Clyde and a £21m guarantee repayment fee from Liberty Steel. The Scottish government said its \"support for private companies has protected hundreds of jobs\". The auditor general's 2018/19 report on the government's consolidated accounts show that the overall budget of £36,915m was underspent by £778m. As well as the write-downs, the government's £37m loan to the BiFab fabrication company, which has yards in Fife and Lewis, is now valued at £2m. 'Backward step' And loans of £40m to keep Prestwick Airport in operation are now worth £7m. Meanwhile, the auditor general Caroline Gardner has criticised the detail of budgeting at Holyrood. Ms Gardner accused ministers of taking \"a step backward\" with the amount they are making available to the watchdog. She said there was a lack of detail in the budget plans set out by Scottish ministers, at a time of heightened uncertainty for public services. The auditor general also refused to sign off accounts for the new carer's allowance. She said it was not clear how that money is being spent, partly through a Whitehall department. \"Parliament needs better information to be able to better scrutinise ministers' financial decision-making and to ensure value for money is achieved from a limited budget pot,\" she said. \"There is a lot more work to be done to manage Social Security Scotland's current reliance on the DWP. \"More complex and costly benefits are due to be delivered by the agency over the next few years, which increases the potential impact of error and fraud. \"The agency needs to think about what arrangements will be needed to manage that scenario.\" Scotland's finance secretary, Derek Mackay, said the Audit Scotland report had given the government's accounts \"a clean bill of health\" for the 14th consecutive year. Mr Mackay said: \"We continue to operate in a challenging financial climate as Brexit, and the increasing risk of a no deal scenario, remains the biggest threat to our economy and public finances as we take steps to try and mitigate the impact of such an outcome. \"Under the current devolution settlement, the Scottish government is not permitted to overspend its budget. \"As a consequence, we have consistently adopted a position of controlling expenditure to ensure we live within the budget caps that apply, while maximising spending on public services. \"Any money which is underspent in a financial year is carried forward in full into the next year and is invested in public services.\" 'Out of his depth' The Scottish Conservatives described the loan write-offs as \"a staggering waste of public money\". The party's finance spokesman Murdo Fraser said: \"The Scottish government complains endlessly that they don't have enough money to spend and blames the UK government at every turn. \"Now we learn that £135m has just had to be written off due to failed investments. \"This is a staggering waste of public money which is entirely in keeping with Derek Mackay's total failure to manage Scotland's public finances. \"He is, quite simply, out of his depth.\"",

It is like they are punishing us by destroying our reefs.\" I didn't take it seriously. I thought it might be anti-Chinese bile from a politician keen to blame everything on his disliked neighbour - a neighbour that claims most of the South China Sea as its own. But then, as our little aircraft descended towards the tiny Philippine-controlled island of Pagasa, I looked out of my window and saw it. At least a dozen boats were anchored on a nearby reef. Long plumes of sand and gravel were trailing out behind them. \"Look,\" I said to my cameraman, Jiro. \"That's what the mayor was talking about, that's the reef mining!\" Even so, I was unprepared for what we found when we got out on the water. A Filipino boatman guided his tiny fishing boat right into the midst of the Chinese poachers. They had chained their boats to the reef and were revving their engines hard. Clouds of black diesel smoke poured into the air. \"What are they doing?\" I asked the boatman. \"They are using their propellers to break the reef,\" he said. Again I was sceptical. The only way to see for sure was to get in the water. It was murky and filled with dust and sand. I could just make out a steel propeller spinning in the distance on the end of long shaft, but it was impossible to tell exactly how the destruction was being carried out. The result was clear, though. Complete devastation. This place had once been a rich coral ecosystem. Now the sea floor was covered in a thick layer of debris, millions of smashed fragments of coral, white and dead like bits of bone. I swam on and on. In every direction the destruction stretched for hundreds of metres, piles and piles of shattered white coral branches. It seemed so illogical. Why would fishermen, even poachers, destroy a whole coral system like this? Then, down below me, I spotted two of the poachers, wearing masks and trailing long breathing hoses behind them. They were manhandling something heavy. As they struggled up the sandy underwater slope, through a stream of bubbles, I caught sight of what they were carrying - a massive giant clam, at least 1m (3ft) across. They dropped it on to a pile near their boat. Next to it lay three others they had pulled out earlier. Clams of this size are probably 100 years old, and - as I discovered later on an internet auction site - can sell for between $1,000 (£665) and $2,000 a pair. We motored out to a group of much larger fishing boats anchored just off the reef. These are \"mother ships\" to the small poacher boats on the reef. On board the big boats I could see hundreds of clam shells stacked high. On the stern of each boat, two large Chinese characters spelled out the name, Tanmen. I'd heard of Tanmen before. It's a fishing port on the large Chinese island of Hainan. In May 2014 another boat from Tanmen had been caught by Philippine police on another reef close to the Philippines called Half Moon Shoal. On board, the police had found 500 Hawksbill sea turtles, most of them dead. Hawksbill turtles are critically endangered and protected under the Convention on the International Trade in Endangered Species (Cites). A Philippine court sentenced the nine Chinese poachers to a year in prison. Beijing was furious. The foreign ministry demanded the convicted poachers be immediately released and accused the Philippines of \"severely violating China's sovereignty… by illegally detaining Chinese fishing vessels and fishermen in waters off China's Nansha Islands\". None of this proves China is protecting the poachers. But nor does Beijing appear to be doing anything to stop them. The poachers we saw showed absolutely no sign of fear when they saw our cameras filming them. Back on Pagasa, a Philippine marine corps officer told me the destruction of the reef has been going on for at least two years, day and night. \"You men are armed,\" I said to him. \"Why don't you go over there in your speedboat and chase them off or arrest them?\" \"It's too dangerous,\" he said. \"We don't want to start a shooting war with the Chinese Navy.\" I still found it hard to understand why these Chinese fishermen, who have a long tradition of fishing on these reefs, are now destroying them. Greed may be one answer. In newly wealthy China there is far more money to be made from looting and trading in endangered species than in catching fish. There is another sad fact about what is going on out here. However shocking the reef plundering I witnessed, it is as nothing compared to the environmental destruction wrought by China's massive island building programme nearby. The latest island China has just completed at Mischief Reef is more than 9km (six miles) long. That is 9km of living reef that is now buried under millions of tonnes of sand and gravel.

It appears to have been isolated to a single location.\" It added that there is, however, concern about \"a tainted, potentially deadly batch of drugs in the community\". Officers responded to a call about an unconscious man at about 02:00 (06:00 GMT). One man was found on 26th and Carson streets and taken to hospital. Another was found in a lift at Southside Works City Apartments. He later died.

            "input": "Ruth Cadbury, Catherine West and Andy Slaughter had supported Chuka Umunna's amendment to the Queen's Speech. Staying in the single market is not Labour policy and Mr Corbyn had ordered his MPs to abstain - but 50 rebelled. His deputy Tom Watson said he was disappointed with Mr Umunna for trying to \"divide\" Labour MPs with the vote. Mr Watson added: \"I just felt that given we'd come out of the general election with such an unexpected result, and there's a real euphoria, to try and divide Labour MPs a week and a half in was a little disappointing. \"But, you know, we're still buzzing, we still want to hold the government to account, we'll get over it and move on.\" Ms Cadbury said she was aware that, as she was breaking the Whip, she could not retain her frontbench role. \"I had no doubt that I had to support the amendment moved by Labour colleagues with cross-party support. \"The amendment ruled out withdrawing from the EU without a deal, sought a parliamentary vote on the final negotiations, and proposed remaining in the customs union and single market. \"Only then can we protect jobs, trade and certainty for business, as well as protecting the rights of EU citizens, with reciprocal rights for UK citizens.\" Who are the sacked MPs? Forty-nine Labour MPs voted for the amendment while a 50th - Heidi Alexander - acted as a teller, one of the MPs who count the votes. Daniel Zeichner quit as shadow transport minister to take part in the vote. He said in a statement he was resigning \"with great regret\" but added: \"My position on Europe has always been clear. I am a passionate pro-European and a straight-forward politician.\" Despite the support of the Lib Dems and SNP, Mr Umunna's amendment was defeated by 322 votes to 101, majority 221, during a series of final votes on the government's Queen's Speech. 'Frustrating will' Among the Labour MPs who backed it was Stella Creasy, who appeared on the BBC's Question Time on Thursday. She said she had done so because she wanted single market membership to be \"part of the [Brexit] negotiations... because the economic and social cost of these things is going to be horrific\" - arguing 650,000 jobs in London alone depended on the single market. \"I want all of these options on the table,\" she said, arguing there were \"101 different combinations\" that could see the UK leave the EU while remaining in the single market. Labour's Wes Streeting, who backed the amendment, said the vote had \"clarified\" Labour's official position but he was \"surprised and disappointed\" at the outcome. \"I don't believe that Labour can achieve our objectives of tariff-free, barrier-free access to the single market, and a jobs-first Brexit, outside of membership of the the single market,\" he told Radio 4's World at One. But Stephen Kinnock, who like many Labour MPs did not take part in the vote, said the decision to fire the rebels was \"regrettable\" but \"had to be done\". \"I suppose I'm quite old-fashioned on this stuff,\" he told the BBC. \"If you have a frontbench amendment and a backbench amendment and you are whipped in a certain way, if you are a frontbencher and you don't follow the whip there is only one conclusion that can be drawn from that.\" Mr Corbyn has committed to leaving the single market after Brexit. A Labour amendment proposed by shadow chancellor John McDonnell was defeated by 323 to 297. It called for Brexit to deliver the \"exact same benefits\" as the EU single market and customs union, as well as scrapping tuition fees, increasing public spending and ending the public sector pay cap. 'Very disappointed' Labour MP Hilary Benn told the BBC: \"I think we recognise that membership of the single market creates a difficulty because... you can't control free movement if you are in the single market. \"The policy on which we fought the election was to say that we wish to retain the benefits of the single market and the customs union. \"I think if the reference to the single market had not been in Chuka's amendment then you would've seen a different outcome.\" Unison's general secretary Dave Prentis was very critical of Mr Umunna's amendment, saying it was \"totally inappropriate for Labour MPs to create a split over Europe\" and \"utterly self-defeating to become bogged down in the worst kind of gesture politics\". The government survived its first major Parliamentary test when MPs voted 323 to 309 in favour of the Queen's Speech - the government's package of legislation - which was stripped back after the Tories lost their Commons majority. The Democratic Unionist Party's 10 MPs had agreed to support the measures as part of a deal with the Tories.",

            "input": "By Branwen JeffreysHealth correspondent, BBC News Don Berwick, a former health adviser to President Obama, has been commissioned by the government to introduce a \"zero-harm culture\" into English hospitals. He will report back on his initial findings by July. Many of the Stafford families are still calling for the resignation of the chief executive of the NHS. Speaking exclusively to the BBC for the first time since his appointment, Prof Berwick said he fully understood the anger of those who had lost relatives at Stafford hospital between 2005 and 2008, having read their accounts. \"To think so much injury was done that really should not have been done. It's very sad and that's what I feel.\" But he refused to be drawn on the call from their campaign group Cure the NHS for David Nicholson the chief executive of the NHS to resign, simply commenting that leadership would be a key element in any culture change. Healed NHS \"My heart bleeds for these patients and families - I would say to them I know you're angry, I'm angry too - and yes proper inquiries and accountability of course we need to provide that. \"But we need to remember the best testimonial to the suffering of you and your family would be a healed and better NHS in the future. \" The Institute for Healthcare Improvement in Boston, which he founded, conducted an earlier internal review for the NHS. Released under a freedom of information request in 2010, it found a \"shame and blame\" culture in the NHS in England, which got in the way of improving quality of care. Asked by the BBC about the scepticism another initiative might face, Prof Berwick said if he had the chance to speak to a nurse he would say: \"I know you want to do well. I know that top of your mind is doing the right thing for your patient every single moment. \"The hassles that get in your way, the pressures of nonsense, the waste in your work, the hurdles that you're made to climb over, the machines that don't work, the space that's poorly designed, the uncleanliness that surrounds you. These are all in your way. Let's get them out of it.\" Zero harm The idea of trying to create a zero-harm culture has come out of a global recognition that some patients needlessly suffer or die in hospital because of errors. It uses experience from industries such as aviation where attempts are made to design systems which reduce the chance of mistakes. The NHS in England has already drawn extensively on such thinking to reduce errors in operating theatres and levels of hospital-acquired infections such as MRSA. At its most basic, it can mean the use of checklists before surgery. Scotland has based its patient safety programme on collaboration with the Boston-based Institute for Health Improvement (IHI) co-founded by Don Berwick. Professor Jason Leitch, clinical director of the quality unit in Scotland, said this had contributed to a fall of 12.4% in hospital death rates since 2008. Prof Leitch will be on the expert panel working with Don Berwick to advise the NHS in England. He said having a high degree of local flexibility had allowed staff in many cases to decide how to improve safety in their own hospitals. For patients, the most visible part of the programme is the information on issues such as the number of falls or infections displayed on all Scottish hospital wards. The Scottish approach has attracted attention from other countries such as Denmark, which has set up a similar patient safety programme.",

            "input": "Peter DayGlobal business correspondent We dig up finite raw materials, turn them into products, and after they have brought utility to the consumers who buy them, the things are thrown away as waste. Simple, linear, straightforward... and now being seen as horribly wasteful. Now that we are well into the 21st century, many people are becoming more conscious of living in a finite world. And one of them is the British record-breaking, solo round-the-world yachtswoman Ellen MacArthur. During her circumnavigation voyage in 2004-5, she became very aware of self sufficiency. Everything she needed for her 73-day trip had to be chosen and carried on her yacht. This practical fact led her to wider considerations. It brought home to her the realisation that the globe we live on was no different from her trimaran. The earth carries everything with it necessary for life. And we are using up much of that everything, very fast. Ellen MacArthur was awarded a damehood as soon as she arrived home, part of a long tradition of British circumnavigation. She is a self-possessed and thoughtful woman. The ideas that had taken root sailing round the world were translated into an organisation launched in 2010 - the Ellen MacArthur Foundation. It is devoted to what is called the \"circular economy\". Big implications The concept has been developing for some time. In particular, the Swiss architect and economist Walter Stahel put forward the concept of a \"cradle to cradle\" economy in a paper he wrote for the European Union in 1976. In contrast to the conventional economic system based on taking, making and disposing of things, he described a non-linear economy running in loops, reusing materials, and with big implications for job creation, competitiveness, resource savings and waste creation. Mr Stahel went on to found the Product-Life Institute in Geneva in 1982, refining the idea of the circular economy and attempting to eliminate the idea of \"waste\" altogether. There is no waste in nature, goes the argument... waste is food. This is a revolutionary (and frightening) way of thinking about our human all-consuming world. Other ideas have converged around this concept - a closed-loop system whereby factories send nothing to landfill and reuse their products at the end of their life. The key proposal is that products should be leased by manufacturers, not sold to consumers. In this way, companies become service providers retaining overall ownership of the things they make. Tyre manufacturers selling travel kilometres, not tyres, for example. Limited resources There is also the concept of \"natural capitalism\", evolved by Paul Hawkins and Amory and Hunter Lovins, and set out in their book of the same name in 1999. They argued that the world view of most corporations has not changed since the start of the industrial revolution. But 200 years ago natural resources were abundant, and it was the availability of labour that was the thing that limited production. In the 21st century, things are different - labour is abundant, but it's natural capital that is running short: natural resources and our environmental support system. For a long time, the proponents of natural capitalism and the circular economy were voices crying in a business wilderness. One corporate leader who did take notice was the founder of one of the world's biggest carpet companies, Interface. The late Ray Anderson had what he called an epiphany 20 years ago, when his company was already 21 years old. It was then that he read an earlier book by Paul Hawken - The Ecology of Commerce. This argued that only industry leaders could reverse the destructive harm industry was doing to the planet. Ray Anderson was stunned by this. In response, he turned it into a company cause, pledging to turn Interface into a sustainable company without any negative impact on the environment by 2020. Sadly, he died in 2011 before that could be achieved, but the mission continues. And other businesses are waking up to this imperative. Changing attitudes Now, back to Ellen MacArthur in her Foundation's headquarters in what is said to be Henry VIII's former gunpowder store in Cowes on the Isle of Wight. She is a persuasive woman. Inspired by living alone on her yacht for more than two months, she found herself nagged by the question: how can our world continue to function with the economic model we've been living with for two centuries? Back on land, she asked questions of experts, commissioned weighty research from the consultants McKinsey, and eventually launched the Foundation around the idea of the circular economy. It is a concept much larger than just recycling, she insists. It's about maintaining the value of everything we use for as long as possible. Inspired by the way there is no waste in nature, it looks for other uses for the by-products discarded during conventional production. And, as number-crunching by the brain boxes at McKinsey showed, there are huge economic advantages to industry if this is adopted - potentially hundreds of billions of pounds or euros or dollars a year. The circular economy sounds high-minded but remote from everyday business life. But that is beginning to change. It is now the sort of thing business leaders talk about at the World Economic Forum at Davos, which took place this week. The significant thing about the foundation is the way Ellen MacArthur has persuaded a clutch of big companies to join her campaign, including Cisco, BT, Renault and Philips. Another very prominent supporter of the circular economy is Unilever, with a vast global reach for its household goods. Unilever's Dutch chief executive, Paul Polman, says the company has long been concerned about industry's reliance on diminishing supplies of raw materials. \"We need a way of decoupling our growth from environmental impact,\" is how he put it to me. That's why Unilever is backing Ellen MacArthur, and finding ways of putting the circular economy principles to work, factory by factory, product by product. For the companies lining up behind the foundation, it is - I think - more than just public relations. They have done the maths. They see the consequences of a growing global consumer society, and they realise that tackling looming raw material shortages (as well as energy and water) requires some energetic rethinking of the way things have been done in business up to now. But change on this scale is hard to do, especially when big companies have investors breathing down their necks about the quarterly results. Investor attitudes will have to change, too. Ellen MacArthur and Paul Polman talk to Peter Day about the circular economy in the radio programme Global Business on the BBC World Service. This is already available to listen to via podcast. It will also be broadcast again on Sunday, 25 January at 01:32 GMT and 10:32 GMT.",

Here is a complete rundown of the 15 contestants who will strut their stuff on the show's 15th series. Strictly Come Dancing: Class of 2017 Chizzy Akudolu left Holby City in June after five years. Before that, she had roles in The Inbetweeners, EastEnders, Silent Witness, Hollyoaks and Twenty Twelve. Viewers have already seen her strut her stuff in BBC One's Let's Sing and Dance for Comic Relief. She appeared with two Casualty stars earlier this year, finishing second with a routine set to Bruno Mars' Uptown Funk. She said: \"When I was 13, I made the finals of a disco dancing competition once but there was this amazing girl who exploded onto the stage with a gorgeous sequined costume, throwing glitter everywhere. \"I knew it was game over for me. That was then, this is now and this is my chance to have even more sequins!\" Actress and former glamour model Gemma Atkinson currently co-hosts Manchester radio station Key 103's breakfast show - which she will continue to present during Strictly training. Her TV credits include roles in Casualty, Emmerdale and Hollyoaks. \"I'm beyond excited and incredibly nervous, but looking forward to learning a new skill,\" she said of joining this year's Strictly. Alexandra Burke took The X Factor by storm in 2008, with her winner's single Hallelujah selling more than a million copies. Since then, she's established herself on stage in such musicals as The Bodyguard and Sister Act. \"I love this show and have followed it from the beginning, so being able to be a part of it is just a dream come true for me,\" she said. \"I am very nervous as I am a singer not a dancer, but I am going to give this my absolute everything.\" Susan Calman's TV credits include BBC One daytime quiz The Boss and kids' quiz Top Class. She's also made an appearance on numerous TV panel shows and starred in Sharon Horgan and Holly Walsh's BBC Three sitcom Dead Boss. The Scottish comic told the Jeremy Vine show: \"I am the last person on the dancefloor! \"I haven't worn heels or a dress since the 1970s... my mother will die happy to see me in a dress and glitter.\" Writer and broadcaster The Reverend Richard Coles is the only UK vicar to have had a chart-topping single - and now he's the first one to star on Strictly. He told BBC Radio 2's Chris Evans Breakfast Show: \"A major dance talent was waiting to be discovered. I just wonder what took them so long. I'm in it to wing it, as they say.\" Coles, who had hits with Jimmy Somerville in The Communards including Don't Leave Me This Way, said he had a \"comprehensive briefing\" from former Strictly star Ed Balls as part of his preparations for the show - and has also \"cut down on pork pies\". But he said he might not be able to take part in the Strictly live tour, as it clashes with Epiphany. He hosts BBC Radio 4's Saturday Live and is a contributor to Pause for Thought on Chris Evans' show - as well as being vicar of St Mary's Church in Finedon, Northamptonshire. Comedian, actor and TV presenter Brian Conley joined the line-up on Friday. His 40-year career in showbiz has included presenting the Royal Variety Performance eight times and fronting his own hugely popular entertainment show on ITV. \"My family all love the show and can't wait to see me do my Dad dancing on national television,\" he said. \"I know it's going to be a lot of hard work but I'm up for the challenge, so bring on the spray tan and sequins.\" EastEnders actor Davood Ghadami, who has played Kush Kazemi in the soap since 2014, said it was \"such an honour\" to be joining the dancing show. \"It's going to be exciting, challenging and terrifying all at once and I am so looking forward to stepping out of my comfort zone and learning to dance,\" he added. Charlotte Hawkins's broadcasting career has included stints reporting on LBC, Sky News and Channel 5. But she currently reads the news on Good Morning Britain, which airs weekdays on ITV. \"I did dancing as a child, a bit of ballet, and I do a bit of dancing round the kitchen with my two-year old but I don't know if that counts,\" Hawkins joked on Monday's programme as she announced she'd be doing Strictly. She added: \"Thank you for all the support. This is setting me on the way now. The excitement's really beginning. It doesn't feel like it's really happening until people know.\" Mollie King was the first contestant to be unveiled for this year's series. The Saturdays singer told Radio 1's Nick Grimshaw (above) she was \"so excited\" and always watched the show with her family, adding that she \"can't wait to get into the sequins\". King follows in the footsteps of bandmate Frankie Bridge, who competed in the 2014 edition of Strictly and came second. TV presenter Ruth Langsford is often seen hosting This Morning (when Phil and Holly are away) alongside her husband Eamonn Holmes.

His first TV role was in the STV soap Take The High Road before starring in The Crow Road, based on the book by Iain Banks. He major breakthrough came when he played PC Joe Mason in Heartbeat for two series. He has also taken on theatre work in stage productions as diverse as Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Rent and Rainbow Kiss. Debbie McGee found fame at the side of Paul Daniels on his TV magic show in the 1980s and went on to marry him. Her Strictly appearance comes seven years after her late husband took to the dancefloor on the show's 2010 edition. He died last year. Speaking of her own impending appearance, she said: \"The excitement is overwhelming. I can't stop smiling. It's been the hardest secret I have ever had to keep!\" Aston Merrygold was a member of boyband JLS, who came second - to Alexandra Burke - in the 2008 series of X Factor. The band went on to huge chart success but split up in 2013, after which Aston went on to become a judge on Sky 1's Got to Dance. Earlier this year, he released his first EP as a solo artist. \"I'm both nervous and excited to learn from the professionals about a whole new way of dancing!\" he said as he was revealed as the latest contestant during Radio 1's Scott Mills show. Jonnie Peacock has won gold in the T44 100m at two Paralympics, two World Para Athletics Championships and two European Championships. But can he win the Strictly glitterball? The 24-year-old - who had his right leg amputated below the knee after contracting meningitis as a child - is the first celebrity hopeful to have a disability. His appearance follows that of former Royal Marine and fellow amputee Cassidy Little, who took part in a \"people's\" edition of Strictly in 2015 as well as that year's Christmas show. \"The opportunity to be the first contestant with a disability to take part in Strictly's main show was too good to turn down,\" he said. \"I've got no previous dance history outside of the occasional 'worm' at a mate's party and I know this will be a challenge and a new experience. \"I can't wait to see what I can achieve and how far I can push myself.\" Chef Simon Rimmer revealed he will be a Strictly contestant during his Sunday morning Channel 4 show, Sunday Brunch, which he co-hosts with Tim Lovejoy. He said he had \"never danced in my life\", and joked that he had lost all co-ordination between the top half and bottom half of his body since becoming a father. Rimmer said: \"I am so excited, terrified and proud to be invited... Nobody will try harder, have more fun or get more out of it than me. I can't wait.\" The 54-year-old has also appeared on the BBC's Great British Menu. The food writer also owns 10 restaurants.

Scottish Liberal Democrats' justice spokesman Liam McArthur warned that inmates were being \"packed into prisons like sardines\". The Scottish government said it was focused on stopping people going to prison in the first place. The figures were revealed following a parliamentary question from the Lib Dems. Other sites at, or exceeding, their prisoner limit were Addiewell, Dumfries, Edinburgh, Glenochil, Kilmarnock, Perth and Shotts. Five prisons out of 15 were at, or beyond, their capacity at the start of 2018 - the figure rose to nine by the end of the year. Those operating within their capacity last month were Cornton Vale, Grampian, Greenock, Low Moss, Polmont and Castle Huntly. Mr McArthur said: \"These new figures show that our prisons are bursting at the seams with the majority now full or overcrowded. People are being packed in like sardines. \"Those working in prisons have warned that the population surge is putting services at risk and jeopardising progress. \"Prison capacities are set for a reason. Staff need to work in a safe environment. \"Overcrowding makes it harder for them to work with individuals and help rehabilitate them.\" 'Urgently ease pressure' Mr McArthur also criticised short-term sentences, saying evidence showed they were less effective at rehabilitation than \"robust\" community-based sentences, which would reduce the pressure on jails. He added: \"That is why the Scottish government now must get on and introduce a presumption against short-term sentences of less than 12 months. \"Ministers need to urgently ease the pressure on our prison system and change the way we deal with less serious offenders to make our communities safer.\" A Scottish government spokesman said: \"Scotland has the highest rate of incarceration per 100,000 of population of any Western European country, which is why we are focused on action to stop people going to prison in the first place. \"Our approach to reducing reoffending has seen reoffending rates drop to a 19-year low, and we are committed this year to extending the presumption against short prison sentences in favour of more effective community penalties.\"",

That's not so,\" she said. \"I introduced Chase in the semi-final, and I said 'Chase is Matisse's best mate'.

            "input": "By Brian MilliganPersonal Finance reporter But this Saturday and Sunday 500 Chinese investors will be lapping up such details in two of Hong Kong's swankiest hotels, along with their dim sum. No longer will they be staring at artist impressions of Canary Wharf or Battersea. Instead, lured by George Osborne's promotion of the \"Northern Powerhouse\", Chinese investors are packing their bags and heading up the M6. They are not just buying homes. They are building them, too. In the process the Chinese are helping to fuel the beginnings of a property boom and push up prices, particularly in Liverpool and Manchester. Little wonder that earlier this month the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (Rics) reported that prices in London are expected to fall significantly over the next three months, while prices in the North West are expected to soar. Heading north So far this year Hong Kong Homes, the property company organising the seminars, has already sold more than 400 flats in Manchester, Liverpool and Sheffield to Chinese clients. \"There are a lot of people switching from London,\" explains Charis Chan, the senior manager of its international property division. One reason is the announcement that HS2 will be extended to both Leeds and Manchester. \"First of all it's the Northern Powerhouse - because they've heard that much new infrastructure is coming to the North. And another thing is the railway,\" she tells the BBC. Rising stamp duty Some of those investing will never come to the UK in person, she says. Others are buying for children who come to university here. Another factor, also down to the chancellor, is this month's increase in stamp duty. Now that the top-rate of duty on a property worth more than £250,000 is 8% for investors, London looks less attractive. \"If they go for the North, they can find something in the city centre below this budget,\" says Ms Chan. 'A lot of cash' In one recent development at Salford Quays, called the Dock Office, just half the apartments were sold to local people. A quarter went to Chinese nationals, and a further quarter went to Brits living abroad. Julie Twist, an estate agent who specialises in Manchester city centre apartments, was surprised at how much money the Chinese were prepared to spend. \"The prices were hefty on those. But £300 a square foot is nothing to them,\" she says. \"It's definitely pushing up prices, because they're bringing a lot of cash over here.\" As prices have risen in London, the rental yields - the percentage returns every year - are beginning to look more generous in the big northern cities. There's a greater chance of capital appreciation, too. Meanwhile the new infrastructure - and the extension to Manchester's tram system - is proving a particular draw to investors from Hong Kong. \"If you've got a development next to a tram, that's very attractive to the Chinese, because that's the way they're used to travelling around,\" says Ms Twist. Culture The Chinese are not just buying Manchester. They are building it as well. The Beijing Engineering Construction Group is investing £800m in Manchester's Airport City, which will include a hub for other Chinese firms to set up. President Xi Jinping saw the site in person when he visited last year. The street names will be in Mandarin as well as English. \"For Chinese people to see their head of state in Manchester, it helped bring confidence to the market,\" says Vincent Cheng, a Chinese-British property consultant. \"In Chinese culture we look for that confidence, and you cannot have a better boost than that.\" The fact that Manchester now has direct flights to both Beijing and Hong Kong also makes travel much easier. 'Long-term opportunities' Apartment blocks all over Manchester are now being built with Chinese money. The Alto development in the Spinningfields area was part-funded by Chinese investors, and Chinese people are buying the apartments. Even a slice of Manchester City Football Club has been sold to the Chinese. \"Their attitude to the Northern Powerhouse is stunning. It's insatiable,\" says Richard Wills-Woodward, an entrepreneur who helps wealthy Chinese individuals invest in the UK. He points to the 300 million middle-class Chinese, a figure equal to the whole population of the USA - who have money to spend. \"These people are coming. They're investing in the Northern Powerhouse because they're looking at long-term opportunities. These guys are looking at 20 or 30 years ahead.\" 'London of the North' But a potential property boom is not good news for everyone in Manchester. The housing charity Shelter - which is campaigning for a national register of off-plan sales - believes that the influx of Hong Kong dollars will cost local people dearly. \"As the London property market plateaus, investors are turning their attention to other cities,\" says Toby Lloyd, Shelter's head of policy. \"Ordinary families are already struggling to keep up with rising house prices in those regions, and investors flocking in to speculate on homes that haven't even been built yet will only push prices further out of reach.\" But property booms, like the gold rush, are unstoppable. Mr Wills-Woodward knows of one Chinese family who sold up in London, and drove up the M6 in search of new opportunities. \"Manchester is going to become the London of the North,\" he predicts.",

So, what should go on your lockdown playlist? The potential mental health implications of the coronavirus pandemic and resulting lockdown have been well-documented, with some warning of damaging long-term effects. But Ms Coombes believes music can \"really help\" by providing mental \"refreshment\". So what are the the sounds to try? \"One of the most important things [to think about] is 'what do I need right now in terms of my own well-being?' \"We instinctively use music to change our emotions and probably just don't think about it overtly,\" the University of South Wales senior lecturer said. \"So, we might use energetic music if we want to do something energetic, like the housework or a work-out. \"I think maybe now is the time to actually think about it more consciously.\" Ms Coombes said some parents of premature babies had told her during one study that Ed Sheeran's timbre helped them to relax - but added that picking songs and artists was largely subjective. For example, when she posted Adele's Someone like You on a list of potentially relaxing songs many people agreed, but one replied to say \"I'd rather fill my ears with molten lead than listen to it\". \"In practice, it can be really difficult to generalise about things like that. I think there is something about what you could call your own significant referential music - songs you have a special relationship with. \"It's quite deep and complex.\" Elizabeth Coombes' lockdown playlist You'll Never Walk Alone by Gerry and the Pacemakers topped a recent chart of classic songs, enjoying renewed popularity amid the coronavirus crisis. And Emma Lewis, 24, would certainly want classic hits on her playlist, including September by Earth, Wind & Fire and Signed, Sealed, Delivered, I'm Yours by Stevie Wonder. Ms Lewis, who works in admissions at Cardiff University, has been swapping playlists with her family and friends, and compiling a collaborative playlist remotely with colleagues as a \"nice way to be connected\". \"I think it's definitely a way we that we can feel together when we're not,\" she said. \"It's a way we can universally share something. I think everyone can understand that.\" She has also been taking part in the popular 30-day song challenge on Instagram, which involves people sharing their favourite songs in response to specific questions. And music has brought her closer to some people in ways she could not have imagined before lockdown. \"I live in an apartment block here and our neighbours never really spoke, but on Saturday night all of us went out on the balconies and about 15 balconies were singing Delilah by Tom Jones. \"It was a really nice moment we would never have if this wasn't currently happening.\" Should you make more than one playlist during lockdown? BBC Radio 1 presenter Huw Stephens said music had always been an art form which can \"soothe and save us\". He said: \"This current lockdown has been interesting, because statistics show that people have turned to radio stations more than they have the streaming sites. \"When it comes to creating playlists, I'm always a fan of tuning in to a DJ you trust.\" Stephens advised that when making a playlist for yourself at the moment \"be kind to yourself\". \"You can make as many playlists as you like, with each one serving a different purpose. Some nostalgia is always a good thing; the songs that make you feel good no matter how famous or not they are.\" And he said going on a \"musical journey online\" was always fun, \"starting with a video for a song you love and seeing where it takes you next\".",

But Labour's John Healey said it was \"too little, too late for the thousands of people sleeping on our streets this Christmas\". He said rough sleeping had doubled since the Tories have been in power. The £3m - which will be immediately available for this winter - is in addition to a £10m Cold Winter Fund announced by the government in September, to help local councils provide accommodation for rough sleepers. 'Work tirelessly' Downing Street said £63m of new money has been made available under a grant scheme which seeks to help homeless households into accommodation. It added a further £200m already committed to councils in England has been reallocated as part of efforts to help people who are either homeless or at risk of losing their properties. Visiting The Marylebone Project, a hostel for homeless women in west London, Mr Johnson said: \"It cannot be right in the 21st century that people are homeless or having to sleep on our streets, and this government will work tirelessly to bring this to an end.\" But Labour's shadow housing secretary John Healey said: \"Rough sleeping has more than doubled since 2010 as a direct result of decisions made by Conservative ministers, including cuts of £1bn a year from vital homelessness services. \"Homelessness always rises under the Tories. It will take a Labour government to end rough sleeping for good.\" Temporary accommodation At the last count there were 4,677 people identified as sleeping rough in England - more than double the number in 2010 - although this is thought to be an underestimate. When the latest government homelessness figures were published last week, for April to June 2019, 68,170 households were recorded as having been assessed by their councils as either homeless or threatened with homelessness. This was an increase of more than 11% compared with the same period last year.

But in figures also published last week, homeless Shelter put the total number of homeless people far higher, at 280,000, by looking at a range of official council figures combined with social services records. The London borough of Newham had the most homeless people, a total of 14,435, according to the Shelter estimates. 'Grim truth' The highest number of rough sleepers was in Westminster, with 306 estimated to have no roof over their heads on any given night. Shelter chief executive Polly Neate said: \"Homelessness blights lives and leaves a lasting imprint of trauma, and yet 280,000 people in England are without a home this Christmas. And many are only days away from joining them. \"As well as those facing serious ill-health or even death sleeping rough on our streets this winter, there are thousands of families trapped in grotty emergency B&Bs, with no space for children to sit and eat, let alone play. \"This is the grim truth our new government must confront and do something radical to change.\"",

Campaigners say the environmental risks of fracturing rock to release gas are too great. A spokesman says the Trust has not changed its position but will review any new evidence in the future. Fracking is the process of drilling down into shale rock before a high-pressure water mixture is directed at the rock to release the gas inside. Water, sand and chemicals are injected into the rock at high pressure which allows the gas to flow out to the head of the well. In an interview with The Times Newspaper, Dame Helen said: \"We all have yet to see what the surface environmental impact of fracking is and when we have seen it we would reach a view.\" She added: \"We are waiting for the evidence. We have an open mind.\" However, the Trust's position on fracking says: \"We have a presumption against fracking on our land because natural gas is a fossil gas. \"The mining process also gives rise to potential environmental and landscape impacts.\" It goes on to say: \"Whilst the use of natural gas might buy time to develop secure, renewable alternative energy sources, it also risks distracting us from focusing on the development of these and on the need for us all to concentrate on using less energy in the first place. 'Fool's gold' A Trust spokesman said: \"Our position is a presumption against fracking on our land. \"It doesn't mean that in time that won't change - if the environmental and visual impacts are negligible and it is part of a strategy to move to a low carbon economy.\" The Trust adopted its position of a presumption against the gas/oil extraction technique during the summer's anti-fracking protests at Balcombe, West Sussex, where energy company Caudrilla planned to carry out test drilling. Earlier this year, the charity's director of conservation, Peter Nixon, described fracking as \"fool's gold\". He said: \"If it takes our eyes off the ball from the need for energy efficiency and a long-term sustainable source of renewable energy, it will be fool's gold.\" The spokesman told BBC News: \"Shale gas is a fossil fuel [that] may prove a fool's gold and distract attention from a shift to renewables. \"The environmental and visual impacts are also unproven, and this is what concerns many people. We want to see more evidence on what this impact will be.\"",

Motor boats buzz in and out carrying smiling visitors wearing life jackets and sun hats. It's one of Panama's premier tourist destinations. The islands - almost one for every day of the year - make up the Guna Yala autonomous region, together with a strip of territory on the mainland. Most Guna communities live on the archipelago, and have done for centuries, after they were driven offshore by disease and venomous snakes. But now many believe that only a move back to the mainland can secure their future. It is the people of Gardi Sugdub - Crab Island - who are in the vanguard of the relocation project. A kilometre inland from the port, where the earth is the colour of rusty nails, they have set aside 17 hectares (42 acres) for the development of a new village - La Barriada. Unlike other communities around the globe threatened by the vagaries of climate change, the Guna people have a huge advantage: they already own the land they want to relocate to. Victoria Navarro is one of those from Gardi Sugdub who pictures a new, more spacious existence on dry, higher land. \"I can imagine the community here in La Barriada,\" she says, looking out across the area of low, tropical vegetation that features a stream, and a small hill. \"My grandchildren want to play soccer and volleyball, but there's no place for them to do that on the island. Here they can be free like the birds.\" Back in 2010, Victoria and her island neighbours began to clear this land, close to the area where they grow crops, in preparation for construction of the new village. \"Everyone came and participated,\" she remembers. \"It was a very happy time.\" Around the same time, with finance from the Inter-American Development Bank, Panama's national government began work on a huge new school adjacent to La Barriada. The $9m complex, designed for students from across the archipelago, is almost complete. A little further down the hill, $11m was invested in a new health centre. Everything looked hopeful, especially when the government made a commitment in 2015 to build 300 houses in La Barriada - the Guna may own all this land, but they do not have the financial resources to develop so many homes. Find out more However, today work on the school and hospital has halted, as a result of a litany of contractual hiccups - and crucially, a failure to plan for adequate supplies of water and electricity. Work never began on the 300 houses. The Guna are disappointed but undeterred, and they continue to lobby and to raise funds. Victoria is an optimist. She still comes every so often to La Barriada to help re-clear those 17 hectares. Even so, this patch of land is slowly being reclaimed by the jungle - much as Victoria's home is gradually being swallowed by the Caribbean Sea. Her island, Gardi Sugdub, is just 400m long and 150m wide, but it is occupied by about 2,000 people. Every inch of the island is built on, unless it's part of a sandy footpath. Victoria herself lives in a compound with 50 of her extended family - 17 people share her simple bamboo home. The lack of space for a growing population once seemed to be a bigger problem than the rising sea level, which has been creeping up at a rate of between 2.3mm and 2.5mm per year - roughly an inch every 10 years. But efforts to enlarge the island may have made its inhabitants more vulnerable to the effects of climate change. Delfino Davies, who works as a guide for visiting tourists, lives with the rest of his extended family in six simple bamboo houses constructed in a line radiating from the centre of the island out to the shoreline. It made sense to his forefathers to push the shore further away. \"My grandfather, Charlie Davies, when he came here it was a small island so he reclaimed land. He brought the stone here, and extended his land,\" he says. This has happened across the Guna archipelago. People have infilled around the edges of the islands using stone, rubbish, and - most controversially - coral. \"Coral reefs stop wave action. So when you remove the coral, even down to 3m in depth, you have no protection. This has created chaos for people,\" says Dr Hector Guzman, a research scientist at the Smithsonian Tropical Institute in Panama City. \"The Carti area was where we got the most dramatic data about the destruction of the coral reef when we compared aerial photos taken in the 1960s and then again in 2003.\" This means that the islanders are now particularly vulnerable to storm surges, and when the rain and wind come, Victoria Navarro often finds herself ankle-deep in water at home. \"I never sleep well - we're awake 24 hours a day,\" she says. In 2008, severe storms tore across the island over two long weeks. Although a move to the mainland had already been mooted, it was in the wake of that destruction that people on Gardi Sugdub began to put together a plan. The Guna are very well-organised. Sailas, spiritual and civic leaders, take decisions based on input from the community - on Gardi Sugdub there are meetings almost every day. And a committee dedicated to the relocation plan is responsible for driving it forward and liaising with government agencies. \"This project's going to be a model for the rest of the Guna people,\" says Blas Lopez, a sociologist and community activist. \"But some of the other island communities don't think it will happen. They see the government hasn't supported us, so they're waiting to see if it will become a reality. If we achieve our dream, other communities will move back to the mainland too.\" On the much smaller nearby island of Gardi Muladup, a lack of space means pigs snuffle and feed in pens constructed over the ocean. Carlos Perez, one of the sailas for this community of 500, is a sprightly 102 years old. And he is worried. \"We can't control the water,\" he says. \"In January and February there are very strong winds, and huge waves.\" This island has even less protection than Gardi Sugdub. \"We're a solitary island - there are no other islands in front of us, so we're much more vulnerable to flooding.\" Carlos Perez says his people want to move back to the mainland too. They have a piece of land on the mainland they call Red Mountain, and they hope to follow the people of Gardi Sugdub. Not everyone is looking forward to a new life on dry land, though. Even though her home floods, Antoneta Reurter, the mother of six children, says she has no plans to leave Gardi Sugdub. In fact, she is hoping she will acquire more space for her family if her neighbours move to La Barriada. And she does not trust predictions that some of the islands on the archipelago could be flooded in a decade. \"I don't believe the scientists,\" she says. \"I don't think the islands will disappear - only God can decide that. If people are corrupt and behave badly, God can send a hurricane or an earthquake and maybe then the islands could go.\" Her view - that other-worldly powers may punish the Guna for wickedness - is not one shared by the director of education on Gardi Sugdub, Francisco Gonzales. \"We're more and more affected by climate change,\" he says. \"And what we're seeing lately isn't the same as what we've seen before - the weather can be really good, then there's a sudden change. The sea's rising, there are floods in the streets and high winds damage the school's roof. When that happens we have to send the children home to keep them safe.\" Five hundred students squash into the island's classrooms in shifts. The new school next to the illusory La Barriada on the mainland should have opened three years ago. When - yet again - classes failed to commence this year, the people protested, blocking the main road leading inland from the port of Carti, and demanding an end to false promises. Now it seems the government of President Juan Carlos Varela may be listening. \"We hope we can re-start work on the school, and complete it in the first quarter of 2018,\" Jorge Gonzalez, the minister who has taken the lead on the relocation project, told the BBC. \"We're going to try and find the economic resources, and get electricity to the school and the health centre.\" And what about La Barriada, and the construction of those 300 homes he promised back in 2015? \"They're in the budget for this year and next - the Ministry of Housing's in the process of contracting a company than can build them. We're hoping they will be delivered in 2018. That's a reality.\" And there are signs the government's commitment is genuine - housing officials have since visited La Barriada to inspect the land. So perhaps, after all, the Guna's foresight will pay off, and their efforts will provide a model for other communities confronting climate displacement in the region and beyond.

Photos of 11 residents at Brooklands, in Kilkeel, along with a list of their likes and hobbies were posted on Facebook two months ago. Since then, they have received more than 1,000 letters from around the world. There were plenty of things to talk about. Norman likes bingo, bowls and colouring in while Kathleen wanted to be pen pals with someone who likes Irish singer Daniel O'Donnell. Madge enjoys getting her hair done and crocheting while Eddie loves chocolate, and Teresa likes knitting while sipping on a cup of tea with a few sneaky biscuits. \"We couldn't believe the reaction,\" Brooklands' activities coordinator Laura Clerkin told BBC News NI. \"The whole thing just blew up, it was amazing. \"There was such a range in ages of people getting involved which was lovely too. We had everyone from children aged seven or eight, right up to people in college, adults, other nursing home residents and retired people.\" She added: \"One resident said she loves animals and she has been sent lots of photos of people's animals which she has loved, others have had gifts sent to them to do with their hobbies, like knitting, or the things they said they liked, such as chocolate. \"It's just nice to have been able to do something so positive in the middle of all of this madness.\" Ms Clerkin admits there was a little bit of confusion when the letters started to pour in. \"When the letters came in, they were placed in a big envelope and taken to each resident and, at the very beginning, some of them wanted to know how this had happened and how did anyone know where they lived. \"They are from a different generation, they don't really understood social media, so we had to explain to them how it worked at first but they all loved it once they realised people were writing to them and wanted to know more about their lives.\" Brooklands closed to visitors in March in response to Covid-19. A few months later, it reopened, but only for about a week and a half as cases in the local community started to rise and so Brooklands was forced to close again to keep residents safe. \"So, from March to November, we have only been open for a week and a half and even then time was restricted and there were social distancing measures in place and that has been very difficult for our residents,\" said Ms Clerkin. \"Everyone is doing their best to keep them occupied and happy and they're all doing great. They've been having video calls and chats with family through the windows and they all have TVs but coming into Christmas things are obviously going to feel very different. \"Thankfully these cards have definitely helped to raise spirits.\"",

They argue that an international inquiry into the Sri Lankan conflict is needed, a proposal that has been roundly rejected by Colombo. The army defeated Tamil Tiger rebels after intense fighting in May 2009. 'Unsolved' In two days of hearings, the panel has taken detailed testimony from four expert witnesses. There have been some quite strong political messages for the government, though little challenge to them on human rights. Leading social scientist Godfrey Gunatilleke - who comes from the majority Sinhalese community - said that a year after the defeat of the rebels, the human and political roots of the conflict remained unsolved. \"Unless we forge that national consensus and develop a Sri Lankan identity to which all communities can belong, to which all communities can owe allegiance... we will still be managing a conflict situation and dealing with problems as they arise,\" he said. Mr Gunatilleke said that a full and transparent account was needed of the war's final, controversial months. 'Impartiality' On issues of human rights violations, however, both he and the panel members said the international community was to blame for not sufficiently condemning rights violations by the rebels, specifically their use of people as human shields. Thursday's other witness, an expert on child protection, was heavily critical of the foreign monitors of a failed ceasefire, and of foreign NGOs in general. In a report, the US State Department says it has concerns about the commission' s independence and its mandate. The Sri Lankan government has said in response that the commission - appointed by President Mahinda Rajapaksa - is \"dedicated to fairness and impartiality\".",

Sussex Police said the sheep, many of them pregnant, had been herded into a tight group against a fence and gate bordering woodland. They had panicked and died either from shock or by being crushed. Sgt Tom Carter said there were no signs of the sheep being savaged but police were \"all but 100% certain\" the deaths were caused by dogs. The flock, worth about £17,000, died just north of the A286 at the eastern end of West Dean village. James Osman, the National Farmers Union adviser for Sussex, said he believed it was the worst incident of its kind in living memory. \"Talking to colleagues around the country, the number of deaths is double what we have come across in the past,\" he said. Analysis By Claire Marshall, BBC environment correspondent This couldn't have happened at a worse time of year. Spring is when ewes have their lambs, and they are at their most vulnerable - many of the sheep that were killed were pregnant. A sheep doesn't actually have to be savaged by a predator. They panic easily and their instinct is to follow each other, so they can die of shock or by being crushed, which is what seems to have happened here. The likely culprit? A dog that was out of control. They call it \"sheep worrying\". Dog owners have already been warned - around 18,500 livestock were killed or injured in this way last year. That's a rise of more than a third. So why are these figures going up? Perhaps it's because more and more of us keep dogs as companions. The Pet Food Manufacturer's Association reckons that a quarter of all households now own a dog. That's 8.5 million dogs - a lot of animals to keep under control. Sgt Carter said the flock was last checked at lunchtime on Sunday and the attack could have occurred at any time over the next 24 hours. \"It was a terrible sight,\" he said. \"This is not just about the Mr Wyeth's livelihood - and it will cost him at least another £2,000 to dispose of the carcasses - but also his emotional attachment to the animals that he has raised and nurtured. \"We have seen a rise in sheep-worrying incidents and as spring approaches more dog owners will be heading for the countryside to exercise their pets. \"We urge people to keep their dogs on a lead while they are walking in rural areas and around livestock.\" The West Dean Estate, run by the Edward James Foundation, includes West Dean College and West Dean Gardens",

The new rules increase the number of judges needed for a ruling and change the order in which cases are heard. The court's verdict means the country is heading towards a constitutional crisis, observers say. The government is already coming under scrutiny from both Brussels and Washington for allegedly endangering democratic checks and balances, says the BBC's Adam Easton in Warsaw. Since coming to power in October, the Law and Justice party (PiS) has regularly come to blows with the media and the opposition. 'Dramatically limiting' Late last year the government passed legal amendments changing the way the Constitutional Court operates. They require a two-thirds majority of the 15 judges to support a ruling for it to be valid, and also stipulate a quorum of 13 judges for rulings to be valid. The PiS says the changes are needed to reflect the new balance of power after its landslide election win last year, Reuters news agency reported. Prime Minister Beata Szydlo said the Constitutional Court's judgment would not be legally valid because the court had failed to adhere to the rule changes introduced by her party. But critics say the changes mean the court is now unable to examine government legislation. \"Dramatically limiting the court's ability to function independently and thoroughly contravenes Poland's (political) system and cannot be tolerated,\" said Judge Stanislaw Biernat, announcing the ruling after a two-day session. This issue has sparked protests against and in support of the government's stand. The amendments to the law governing the court are being investigated by the European Commission for a possible breach of the rule of law. Last month, a draft report by the Council of Europe - a human rights watchdog - said the changes make it extremely difficult for the court to take decisions, thereby endangering the rule of law.",

But the reprieve comes at the cost of 550 firefighter jobs - 30 more than originally planned. The London Fire and Emergency Planning Authority (LFEPA) will meet next week to vote on the plans. Mr Dobson said he wanted the changes to come into effect as soon as possible after the meeting to limit disruption to the service and uncertainty for staff members. Under the plans, Chelsea Fire Station will retain two fire engines and East Greenwich will receive a second fire engine. London's 'protection' Belsize, Bow, Clerkenwell, Downham, Kingsland, Knightsbridge, Silvertown, Southwark, Westminster and Woolwich will still close. The draft plan outlined closing 12 stations, and cutting 18 fire engines wit the loss of 520 jobs to save £29m over two years. The new proposal would leave London with 155 fire engines at 102 stations. Mr Dobson's report notes that when London's political leaders attended meetings they were on the whole \"vocally opposed\". He said: \"Many people did not value the fact that demand had reduced and this has had the effect of creating headroom for a reduction in the breadth of the service. \"On several occasions, people remarked that they would be happy to retain the same number of stations and firelighters as now, even if they never attended an incident.\" Labour's fire service spokesperson on the London Assembly, Navin Shah, said he was pleased the mayor had scrapped plans to close two stations but that he had \"let down\" people concerned about the \"protection of the whole of London\". The Liberal Democrat's Stephen Knight said: \"These minor concessions are obviously welcome, but the overall picture is that nearly one in 10 of London's fire stations are still set to be closed within months.\"",

            "input": "By Vikas PandeyBBC Monitoring Many Africans travelled to India as slaves and traders, but eventually settled down here to play an important role in India's history of kingdoms, conquests and wars. Some of them, like Malik Ambar in Ahmadnagar (in western India), went on to become important rulers and military strategists. Ambar was known for taking on the powerful Mughal rulers of northern India. An exhibition, organised by the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture of The New York Public Library, in Delhi recently showcased such \"forgotten\" stories of Africa's role in India's history. Abyssinians, also known as Habshis in India, mostly came from the Horn of Africa to the subcontinent. Dr Sylviane A Diouf of the Schomburg Center says Africans were successful in India because of their military prowess and administrative skills. \"African men were employed in very specialised jobs, as soldiers, palace guards, or bodyguards; they were able to rise through the ranks becoming generals, admirals, and administrators,\" she says. Kenneth Robbins, co-curator of the exhibition, says it is very important for Indians to know that Africans were an integral part of several Indian sultanates and some of them even started their own dynasties. \"Early evidence suggests that Africans came to India as early as the 4th Century. But they really flourished as traders, artists, rulers, architects and reformers between the 14th Century and 17th Century,\" he says. This 17th-Century cloth painting depicts a procession of Deccani sultan Abdullah Qutb Shah. African guards are seen here as part of the sultan's army. Apart from the Deccan sultanates in southern India, Africans also rose to prominence on the western coast of India. Some of them brought their traditional music and Sufi Islam with them. Mr Robbins says Deccan sultans relied on African soldiers because Mughal rulers of northern India did not allow them to recruit men from Afghanistan and other central Asian countries. This 1887 painting from Kutch portrays the Sidi Damal, a religious, ecstatic dance form of the Muslim Sidis who were brought to India from East Africa. Dr Diouf says Indian rulers trusted Africans and their skills. \"It was true, especially in areas where hereditary authority was weak and there was ongoing instability due to struggles between factions like in the Deccan,\" she says. \"Africans sometimes did seize power for their group like they did in Bengal - where they were known as the Abyssinian Party - in the 1480s; or in Janjira and Sachin (on the western coast of India) where they established African dynasties. They also took power on an individual basis, as Sidi Masud did in Adoni (in southern India) or Malik Ambar in Ahmadnagar (in western India),\" she adds. The funerary complex shown in the photograph above was also designed by eunuch Malik Sandal after 1597 in Bijapur (in present-day southern Karnataka state). This painting from 1590 shows an Indian prince eating in the land of Ethiopians (Habshi) or East Africans (Zangis). Africans also brought their music to India. This artwork dated 1640-1660 shows a player of the African lyre. In this 1904 photo taken in Hyderabad in the Deccan region, Africans guards are seen escorting a royal procession. The most celebrated of the powerful Ethiopian leaders in India was Malik Ambar (1548-1626). His mausoleum still exists in Khuldabad, near Aurangabad district in western India. This painting shows Nawab Sidi Haidar Khan of Sachin. The African-ruled state of Sachin was established in 1791 in Gujarat. It had its own cavalry and a state band that included Africans, its own coats of arms, currency, and stamped paper. In 1948, when the princely states were incorporated into independent India and ceased to exist, Sachin had a population of 26,000 - 85% Hindu and 13% Muslim - explains Dr Diouf. The main African figures of the past have not been forgotten but their ethnicity has been erased, consciously or not, she adds. \"The people who have heard of Malik Ambar, for example, generally do not know he was Ethiopian. Does it mean that these men's origin was so irrelevant that it was useless to mention it, or is this historical erasure the product of a conscious denial of the African contribution?\" she asks.",

            "input": "Julian Smith paid tribute to the campaigners' determination, just hours after he signed new legislation which set up an annual payment scheme. It will provide life-long financial support to severely injured victims. But some campaigners are angry that the scheme is only open to people injured \"through no fault of their own\". It means that anyone convicted of taking part in an attack which caused them to be injured - for example bombers who were caught up in their own explosion - would not qualify for the pension. Both Sinn Féin and the campaign group Relatives for Justice accused the government of creating a \"hierarchy\" of victims and trying to impose its own version of the past. 'Too long' More than 3,500 people were killed during the Troubles and the Northern Ireland Office has estimated that a further 40,000 were injured during more than 30 years of violence. The pension campaign was beset by years of delays due to disagreements over whether former paramilitaries would be eligible for payments. In a statement on Saturday, Mr Smith acknowledged that there were \"different views about how to proceed\" but added the \"discussions and delay of the past few years have gone on long enough\". \"This scheme is intended to provide much-needed acknowledgement, and a measure of additional financial support, to people injured through no fault of their own in a Troubles-related incident, some of whom are struggling to make ends meet,\" he said. The payments will range from about £2,000 to £10,000 a year depending on the severity of disability. 'Bravery and fortitude' Mr Smith also commended victims' groups who persevered with their campaign for compensation for more than a decade. \"It is right that we recognise the bravery and fortitude of those people who have fought hard for too long to see such a scheme,\" he said. \"This is a moment to recognise those living with life-limiting injuries, and to acknowledge the harm they have suffered. \"We should pause and thank those who have helped us get to a place where we can provide a scheme like this.\" Outlining the new regulations, the secretary of state said the government had \"listened carefully\" to those who took part in a recent public consultation and introduced \"new, more generous rules\". \"For the first time, we will also ensure that payments can transfer to partners and carers who look after those still living with their injuries,\" Mr Smith said. Referring to the scheme's restrictions, he added: \"An independent judge-led board will make decisions on whether payments should be made where there is compelling evidence that a payment would not be appropriate.\" Eligible victims will have to apply for the payments, and the scheme will open for applications at the end of May 2020. It is the second time within two months that Mr Smith has pushed through legislation to give financial support to victims who had faced years of frustration over compensation delays. In November, he helped to fast-track the Historical Institutional Abuse Bill through Parliament, which set up a redress payments scheme for people who were abused as children in residential homes. Resilience In a statement on Friday, the Wave Trauma Centre welcomed the Troubles payment scheme, saying it would make a \"real difference\" to victims. \"The Injured Group at Wave have been campaigning for over 10 years for official recognition and acknowledgement of the great harm done to individuals who have been severely injured during the Troubles,\" said Wave's chief executive Sandra Peake. \"To see legislation being enacted at Westminster is testament to the tenacity and resilience of the group who have been fighting an often lonely campaign on behalf of those who have been marginalised for too long.\" But Relatives for Justice accused the government of using the legislation \"to promote their own partial narrative of the past\". It added that the regulations did not sufficiently address the needs of people bereaved as a result of the Troubles, and described it as an \"insulting and ill-thought out piece of legislation\".",

The Daily Telegraph describes it as \"an extraordinary intervention\" and pictures the two rebels in front of a billboard that calls Mr Corbyn a \"disgrace\" to his party and the country. The paper says their comments \"laid bare\" the deep divisions in Labour on Brexit and anti-Semitism, and fuelled continued speculation that other Labour moderates could quit the party. The Daily Express has spoken to the Labour stalwart, Joe Haines, who also says he will not be voting Labour. The former press secretary to Harold Wilson tells the paper \"political pygmies\" have destroyed the party he loves. The Labour and Conservative election promises to boost the economy get plenty of coverage. The i newspaper has the headline \"spend, spend, spend\" - the phrase used by the pools winner Viv Nicholson in 1961. The Guardian calls it a \"public spending bidding war\" that would see borrowing return to levels of the 1970s. The Financial Times says Sajid Javid has \"ripped up\" the government's rules to allow a new wave of investment. Meanwhile, the Daily Mail is scathing about Labour's plans, with its city editor Alex Brummer calling them \"financial suicide\". The Daily Express agrees that Labour spending would \"cripple Britain\" - but the Guardian's John Crace points out that the Conservative spending pledge of £100bn is the same amount they said was \"reckless\" when it was in Labour's manifesto in 2017. The Daily Mirror puts the focus on the Conservative leader, and what it sees as \"Boris's Britain\". The paper's front page shows a frail 88-year-old woman who it says spent six hours on a hospital trolley. It describes her as \"another victim of heartless Tory cuts\". The paper's editorial says it is a \"shocking portrayal of the true state of the health service\", and it blames a Tory administration, which it says, has starved the NHS of funds. Remain electoral pact There's also reaction to the electoral pact agreed by the Liberal Democrats, Plaid Cymru and the Greens not to stand against each other in 60 seats. The Sun calls it \"an unholy alliance\" and a \"remoaner stitch up\". The Guardian's editorial argues the arrangement is a sign of a failing electoral system - while the Telegraph reports that the Conservatives want the Electoral Commission to investigate the pact. Get news from the BBC in your inbox, each weekday morning Historians are going into battle over the term \"Anglo-Saxon\" according to the Times. It reports that some academics want to ban its use because of an association with \"white supremacy\". It is generally used to describe groups from across the North Sea - including Angles and Saxons - who settled in Britain. But a medieval specialist Mary Rambaran-Olm argues it only gained common usage much later \"as a means of connecting white people to their supposed origins\". The Times says her view is gaining scholarly support, but the paper's editorial agrees with the historian Tom Holland who calls the idea of banning the term \"as mad as a bag of ferrets\". Several papers including the Sun carry a report about \"boozy Brits\" drinking the equivalent of 108 bottles of wine a year. The figures come from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development and compare with an average of 99 bottles a year in other countries. According to the Sun's report, the biggest culprits are people born in the 1950s, 60s and 70s who share a bottle of wine over dinner most nights. The Daily Mail says that alcohol consumption in the UK is actually falling, though we still drink more than Australia, the US, Spain and Italy. And the Times explains how the actor James Dean is to appear in a new film about the Vietnam war -more than 60 years after his death in a car crash. A deal has been struck with the family of the Hollywood icon to recreate his image using archive film and CGI technology. The resulting \"avatar\" will appear with real co-stars, and another actor will provide the voice. The director Anton Ernst tells the paper he will take every precaution to ensure the James Dean legacy as an \"epic film star\" is kept firmly intact.",

            "input": "The main roads in the small town of Amethi were choked with supporters when Rahul Gandhi turned up to file his nomination papers last week. Mr Gandhi - smiling and waving on an open truck, accompanied by his sister Priyanka - was greeted all along the 3km route to the district collector's office by party workers. Many waved flags, others carried their photographs and town residents showered them with rose petals. A man in a horse costume danced to drum beats, a brass band played welcoming tunes and groups of supporters ran alongside the convoy shouting slogans in his support. \"Mr Modi's days are numbered,\" says Mustaqim Ahmed, who has travelled 125km (78 miles) from his village with his 12-year-old son to see the Congress chief. Anokhelal Tiwari, a resident of Amethi, adds: \"Wait and see, once the votes are counted on 23 May, Mr Modi will known as the ex-prime minister of India. The Congress will form the next government and 'Rahul bhaiya [brother]' will become the prime minister.\" It's a dream Mr Gandhi's supporters in Amethi have had for a long time. In fact, ever since he made his political debut 15 years ago. The 48-year-old is a three-term MP from this town in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh. He is now seeking a fourth term. This time though, he's also standing in Wayanad in the southern state of Kerala - leading to the BJP alleging he's scared of losing Amethi to their candidate Smriti Irani, who put up a tough fight in 2014. Congress leaders have defended the move, saying it will help widen their base in the south. I followed Mr Gandhi's campaigns closely in 2004, 2009 and 2014 - and each time I was told by supporters they were electing the PM, not an MP. That sentiment is now being echoed in Wayanad too, says my BBC Hindi colleague Imran Qureshi, who's covering the election there. India votes 2019 That's because Rahul Gandhi has the right pedigree: he is the scion of India's political royalty. His great-grandfather, Jawaharlal Nehru, was the first prime minister of independent India, his grandmother and father also served as prime ministers, while his mother, Italian-born Sonia Gandhi, was the Congress chief until poor health forced her to hand over the reins to her son 16 months ago. Even before that, there never was any doubt that he was being groomed for the top job. In 2013, he was elevated to the second most senior position in the party and campaigned extensively in the 2014 general election. So when Congress suffered its most humiliating defeat that year, winning just 44 seats in the 545-member parliament, his political career hit rock bottom. For a while after that, nothing seemed to be going right for him or the Congress. The party faced electoral setbacks in several state elections; he was seen as \"remote and inaccessible\" and critics and rivals ridiculed him on social media as a bumbling, clueless leader prone to gaffes. Narendra Modi, who comes from a humble background, repeatedly criticised him for rising to the top not on merit, but because of belonging to the Nehru-Gandhi dynasty. But then things began to change: Mr Gandhi started to emerge from the shadows, his social media campaigns became smarter and he began arguing convincingly about the government's controversial currency ban, a lack of employment opportunities, growing intolerance in the country and the slowdown in the economy. The proverbial cherry on the cake came in December when he led the Congress to victory in important state elections in Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh. And now, as he traverses the length and breadth of the country, addressing up to five rallies daily, his campaign is beginning to get some traction. Senior journalist Aarthi Ramachandran, author of a 2012 book on Mr Gandhi, says he's displayed leadership potential on the campaign trail by consistently taking a stand against Mr Modi, demanding answers from the government on alleged corruption in the Rafale fighter jet deal and arguing forcefully that the currency ban hit people's lives hard. Read more from Geeta Pandey \"The political acumen he's displaying now was largely absent from his politics earlier,\" she says, adding that his ability to speak too is \"vastly improved\". \"He does these meetings in colleges and universities with young people, he tells them, 'ask me whatever you want'. He connects very well with them. In the parliament too, rather than reading out prepared speeches, he speaks extempore, with confidence. \"He's come into his own, worked hard over a period of time on acquiring skills.\" In recent weeks, there's also been a lot of chatter about the party's minimum income guarantee scheme that promises to give cash handouts to 50 million poor families if the Congress is elected to power. One analyst described it as a \"perfect disrupter\" which could help the party improve their election tally. It was certainly well-timed - the scheme was announced just as pollsters began suggesting that India's air strikes in Pakistan may help the BJP to victory. The announcement brought the conversation back to poverty and lack of jobs and made the BJP fairly uncomfortable. But it's not going to be a game-changer in 2019, says Prof Sanjay Kumar of research organisation CSDS (Centre for the Study of Developing Societies). \"It's come a bit too late. Also, the party doesn't have the communication skills or the resources to take it to the people.\" The Congress party, Prof Kumar says, faces multiple disadvantages. \"Their leaders don't have the language skills, they are carrying huge baggage because many in the majority community believe that Congress follows the policy of minority appeasement and when they question the government's honesty and accuse it of corruption, not many are ready to buy that because the Congress have had so many corruption allegations against them in the past.\" The biggest disadvantage though, he says, is that it's not just their support base that's eroded - they also lack the party workers required during an election. \"So I won't put my money on the Congress now,\" he says. \"But that doesn't mean that there is no future for the Congress. Losing one or two elections doesn't mean a party has no future. Remember the 1984 elections when the BJP was reduced to two seats? And it bounced back to 282 in the last election.\" Several Congress leaders, too, have hinted that 2019 is really not a \"do-or-die\" battle for the party and that 2024 is perhaps a much more realistic goal. In 2004, just as Mr Gandhi had embarked on his political career, I caught up with him during his campaign in Amethi and asked him to assess his chances. \"You win some, you lose some. Maybe I'll win this, maybe I won't,\" he'd said. I then asked him what he would do if he lost. \"Just because you lose one battle doesn't mean you turn around and close shop and say, 'I can't do anything.' If I lose the election, would I say let's pack our bags and go home? No, no, no.\" So in his own words, he's in it for the long haul. Don't write him off yet.",

The jury foreman said \"poor communications\" and the \"proximity of the staff on duty\" contributed to his opportunity to kill himself. 'Drama queen' During the eight-day inquest, the jury heard Mr Cowburn had previously made 43 suicide attempts and the cause of his death was asphyxia, which was caused by an item he had smuggled into the unit. Sharon Linter, a senior manager at the Cornwall Partnership NHS Foundation Trust, told the inquest that staff were now trained by the police in search techniques to prevent such items from being smuggled into their premises. Giving evidence, Mr Cowburn's mother Sharon claimed that consultant psychiatrist Dr Adrian Flynn had told her Ben was \"a drama queen and things were not as bad as they seemed\". Richard Edgeworth, an expert in mental health nursing, said the nurses' approach to care planning had been \"ad hoc and inconsistent\". Ben Cowburn's named nurse, who should have been responsible for the updates, hardly appeared in the documents, he said. The jury heard how a gay male TV comedian, referred to as Mr X throughout proceedings, did \"sexual things\" to Mr Cowburn while he was studying fashion in London. Det Con Joanna Sodergren said: \"He said he wasn't able to end his life because 'he' wouldn't let him. \"When asked who, Ben said he did not want to talk about it and it was not fair as he was on TV and in magazines on every page, and why did he have that after what he did to him? \"The male had bought him nice things and took him to nice places but had done sexual things to him.\" 'Dirty and used' Nurse David Taylor said in a written statement that he thought Ben had been groomed by the man. Mr Cowburn told the nurse he felt \"dirty, used, belittled, ashamed and humiliated\" but did not want to go to the police. Speaking after the ruling, Steve and Sharon Cowburn said their son had been \"thoroughly failed\" by the NHS and they had been \"failed\" by the inquest. Mrs Cowburn said: \"After an agonising wait of over 1,000 days this inquest has been bitterly disappointing, from several key members of Ben's care team who were not available for inquest and to the frustrating regularity with which NHS staff were unable to recall key events.\" A manager from the Cornwall Partnership NHS Foundation Trust said changes had been made since the death. Dr Ellen Wilkinson, medical director at the trust, said: \"Ben was admitted to Longreach House on October 8 2010 so we knew him for those few short weeks during which time he was being assessed to try and discover the range and depth of his problems so we could ultimately provide the most appropriate treatment for him in the best possible conditions. \"Despite our efforts Ben sadly died. We immediately examined all aspects of our treatment and care. \"On the day Ben died he had been out with his sister. When back on the ward he was engaging well with staff and the other patients. \"He gave no indication of the tragic events which were to later occur.\" She added: \"The coroner is satisfied the trust has addressed the shortcomings identified.

As a palliative care doctor, I have treated a number of people with Covid-19, some of whom have died, and I have also lost colleagues. We have written and rewritten a huge amount of guidance and procedures, ranging from how best to manage agitation and breathlessness in Covid-19, to how best to prepare people for the worst and help them discuss treatment options. What makes this time so difficult is that many of the usual rules of societal norm and behaviour have been thrown out of the proverbial window, due to the high risk that transmission of this virus has created. We have had many discussions in hospitals, community and hospice settings, about how compassion can be combined with strict visiting rules, for instance. As caring health and social care professionals, it is against our nature to prevent loved-ones from coming in to support their seriously ill relatives. People have pleaded to be with their dying partner, even offering to find their own personal protective equipment (PPE) and accepting the risk should they contract the virus. Others have been understandably afraid of the very real transmission risks and have stayed away, with a broken heart. The grief process can be complex enough in normal times, but we are guaranteed to see huge emotional fallout from this horrendous time in the coming months and years. So it is important that we find ways of communicating well and perhaps putting on not just physical PPE in our response to this pandemic, but also to look at ways of seeking \"emotional and cognitive protection\". Such preparation and responsiveness is under-prioritised at everyone's peril, because preparing for difficult conversations and understanding grief and its stages can help, in order to support ourselves and those around us. One of the early lessons we took from Italy, where the European part of the pandemic had hit very hard in advance of the UK becoming affected, was the high number of patients who were dying alone in hospitals. Family members and loved ones had to stay away, due to the clear risk of contracting coronavirus themselves and causing further spread. Colleagues from Italy warned us to have video messaging software and computers ready, so that families and friends could at the very least be \"with someone\" remotely. We did this and were ready, and many patients took heart from the fact that they could see their loved ones from a hospital bed, some even taking part in normal life events like dinner, with family members who had set up the laptop in their home kitchen. It is often not the complex stuff we crave when we are really ill, but the day-to-day basics. Knowing what to say when you, as a supporting relative, are zoomed into a hospital room can seem daunting, but we have found that it is the presence that matters most, not the perfect phrase of what best to say to the seriously ill friend or relative. Online versus the real world, there are many new challenges. How on earth do you behave in an online-streamed funeral and what should and shouldn't you say. I'd state that similar rules apply for online, as they do for the real-life events. Many religious organisations have quickly adapted and most funeral homes can now give advice on not only physical but also online attendance. This may go some way to reassure people, but a recent survey suggested many are still afraid of saying the wrong thing. In my experience, people's grief is worsened by the absence of people's offers of help, rather than by attempts to say the right or wrong thing. So the fundamental thing is to show our readiness to provide a listening ear at any time, and that can be via video-messaging, in person or even by WhatsApp. Know what your friend or relative will respond to best and then send them a message. Less is not necessarily more when it comes to grief. I see my recent forays into video consultations as an example to illustrate this: For me and my team, some of the previously held notions have been severely challenged: before Covid-19, I would never have dreamed of communicating bad news, such as progression of cancer on a scan, or the death of a loved one, by telephone or video messaging. But I have had to adapt. And so have many of my colleagues, patients and those close to them. I have shared the key lessons with students and postgraduate doctors. But some of them are relevant to many aspects of life, where perhaps bad news may have to be shared via video-message. Imagine you need to break the bad news that someone in your family has died. Or perhaps you want to express your heartfelt condolences to someone via video. How exactly do you get this right? Perhaps there is no perfect way, but there are some tips I can share. Conversations with bad news It is important to be in a quiet, undisturbed room. Consider warning those nearby that you are about to have a serious conversation. Regarding the bad news, how much does the person suspect already? Have a plan for what to do next, before making the call, for instance if you can, you may wish to tell the person you are talking to that you will be in touch again tomorrow. A good tip to maintain your \"emotional PPE\", is to take breaks: If I've had multiple difficult phone or video conversations in a short time I take a break in between, as I would with real-life conversations. So should you, if you are conveying information of the death of a beloved family member to the wider family and/or community, one by one. Perhaps someone you trust can help you do this, so that you are not the only one. I've also made the classic error of not taking a toilet break prior to such a difficult call, so do consider the length of time you may be. Is it OK or even safe for them to talk right now? People pick up their smartphone in all sorts of situations and you may have to state that you will call back when they have stopped their car. Are they alone or is there anyone around who can potentially support later? I tend to give a warning shot of what may be coming: I nearly always preface that I have some difficult news. I might say something like: \"I am sorry, but there is some news that is not good, and I wanted to let you know about this.\" If someone asks me to stop there, I do so, and offer a further phone or video call later on. They are not ready yet, but will probably feel a need to speak later. They need time to prepare. Tell the news: Give a summary of what you know. I do this with compassion, but also go in without too much prelude (apart from a warning shot) or hesitation. People want to know now, in my experience, so it is best not to make them wait, with too many platitudes. I once heard a healthcare professional talk about how great the weather was, before giving the bad news. What I often do is intersperse the news with occasional questions, checking what the person I am talking to already knows, or if they need a break, but then I try to align this with the newest information. I often find that people have already suspected and thought about the different bad news scenarios. \"Yes, doctor, this is what I was fearing all long.\" Don't use jargon, be as clear as you can be. In closing these conversations, I try to bring people back into the now and the next few days. What will you do now? Shall we make a plan together? Are there other people you need to tell? Who is there to support you? I often phone back sooner if there aren't many people to support. I also try to ask the person to summarise a bit about what was talked about. It allows for questions, but we can also sometimes state how hard this all is. Sometimes, the white noise that breaks into our brains after a sentence like: \"Your cancer has spread\" or \"Malcolm has just died\", is so intense, that nothing beyond that is heard or understood. So I never assume that any other points I have tried to cover will be remembered, but a summary at the end can allow the person to come back with questions that are important to them and help clarify things. In closing, I often make a point of sharing my own sadness about this situation and it sometimes helps people to know how much we care, and that we are all human. It can be a way to help people verbalise their own feelings, if they are perhaps less used to doing so. \"Yes, this is all so strange and sad, and I wish we were not in this terrible situation\", can open up an important discussion about regrets and fears. These sorts of conversations are never easy. Neither is grief. Grief for a lost loved one, or the grief of realising that a cancer has spread and that time will be short. On balance, we all appreciate the ability to have conversations, rather than none at all, so I suspect video and audio conversations are here to stay, even for condolence messages. To get the best emotional and cognitive PPE, we need to understand ourselves and we need to understand grief itself, as hard as that may sound.",

UKIP leader Gerard Batten allayed fears of bankruptcy and said the party's bank balance was \"in the black\". The party has less than 10 days to pay the bill. On Monday High Court Judge Justice Warby ordered UKIP to make the £175,000 payment towards costs incurred by Rotherham MPs Sir Kevin Barron, John Healey and Sarah Champion. Mr Batten said: \"When I took [the party] over it was on the brink, we were about to go into the red and we would have gone insolvent and actually been put out of business. \"I took immediate action. I've written to the members asking for money, we've fundraised in other ways and we're now in the black.\" Mr Batten said the party would pay the legal costs and was \"making arrangements to do that now\". When asked about Ms Collins's future in the party, he replied she was \"still one of our MEPs and I've just appointed her as a spokesperson on animal welfare\". A hearing in February ruled that UKIP took a \"deliberate, informed and calculated\" decision to ensure the defamation action brought by the three MPs against Ms Collins should not be settled before the 2015 general election. A joint statement from the Labour MPs said: \"UKIP's actions behind the scenes forced the costs of this case to soar and compounded the damage from Jane Collins' unfounded and hurtful allegations.

Now with the pressures of the pandemic often disproportionately affecting younger age groups, it perhaps comes as no surprise that party manifestos have been littered with policies designed to restore education, improve mental health and create job opportunities for people age 16-24. So what issues matter to young voters? The BBC spoke to five people under the age of 30 to hear what could influence their vote. David, a second year maths and physics student, remembers being drawn to the sciences from a young age after seeing the \"awe inspiring\" Large Hadron Collider. But he fears he may not secure a job in his field due to the economic uncertainty caused by the pandemic. \"I've been looking for a job as a barista,\" he said. \"I'm not sure which sectors are going to be losing jobs and at the moment I would go for a safe option rather than putting my life on hold.\" The 20-year-old said he was one of many students who had been \"massively\" impacted by the pandemic through isolation, a loss of education and unstable income. But when deciding how to cast his vote, he said there was only one issue that mattered. \"It's the NHS by quite a mile,\" he said. \"To me right now, all the other issues seem very insignificant compared to the health crisis that's looming. \"Currently I've got a nerve issue with my leg which is undiagnosed and I first spoke to a doctor in November - it's a bit stressful, I have to be honest. \"I feel like one of the lucky ones. I know someone with an eating disorder who collapsed the other day, and the mental health backlog is ridiculous.\" SIGN UP FOR SCOTLAND ALERTS: Get extra updates on BBC election coverage In the midst of studying five Highers - including two foreign languages - Betty has her sights on one day working for an international organisation such as Amnesty International. \"Because I grew up in place so small, it made me want to see more of the world and meet people,\" she said. With her eye on issues that affect people around the world, Betty has been struck by the devastating effects of bushfires in Australia and the exposure of disadvantaged countries to climate hazards. She said: \"Climate change affects everyone but what really gets me are the countries that suffer most are the ones that contributed the least emissions. \"Scotland could be really good in helping the climate with resources like solar panels and wind turbines. \"Improving public transport would also cut emissions by so much - where I live the bus service can be really unreliable and it makes life lot more difficult for people. \" Over the past year, Betty's main focus has been on her education - an area she would like to see significantly improved by the next parliament. \"I think young people should be a lot more involved into deciding what goes into education,\" she said. \"I think they should reform the curriculum and exam diet - a single exam is a really unfair way of basing results on and it puts so much stress on young people.\" SCOTLAND'S ELECTION: THE BASICS What's happening?

Chelsea believes that overall, she has been fortunate during the pandemic - she lives with her mother and despite a shift to working from home, her job in outsourcing has been largely unaffected. But she said the separation from her grandmother over the last year had been \"really difficult\". \"She is a major inspiration in my life and we're really close,\" Chelsea said. \"She's in her 70s and has been out taking meals to her neighbours and checking in on them.\" Having seen the meaningful effects of her grandmother's work, Chelsea has been concerned about the impact of the pandemic on older people. She said: \"At the time I would have preferred people to have been given the option to take their loved ones out of care homes. \"People in hospital were shoe-horned into care homes - it makes you feel ashamed of how it was handled.\" In terms of casting her vote, key issues for Chelsea are the rebuilding of the economy and tackling Scotland's drug-related deaths - particularly in her local area. \"You walk down streets of Stirling and you see the number of shops shutting and the number of people out on the streets - it's absolutely heartbreaking. \"I'd like to stop seeing such a big focus on independence. If the pandemic has shown us anything it's that Scotland wouldn't be in a financially stable enough position to go it alone.\" Since the age of 16, Neavan has lived away from home for long periods of time to study music at an advanced level and is currently at the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire. In the last year he has been increasingly motivated around the issue of conversion therapy. A campaign to ban conversion therapy in Scotland currently has cross-party support, while the UK government has also undertaken to ban it. \"I didn't go through it myself but a high number of LGBT people do,\" he said. \"It's almost never successful - people who go through it suffer things like eating disorders and almost no-one does it willingly.\" Independence supporter Neavan said he had enjoyed his time in England, but he believed the electorate south of the border had made decisions \"against the will\" of Scottish people. He said: \"It's meant to be a family of nations - if it were a family of people you wouldn't have one person making all the decisions. Brexit is the most obvious one - I didn't vote for it. \"I see Scotland as a very open country and I don't think that represents the UK as a whole. \"Also, I think wherever you stand on independence there are valid arguments for or against, but I never hear any [positive] arguments for staying in the union.\" When she isn't job hunting in the third sector, politics graduate Kate teaches gymnastics to children - and is looking forward to the return of grassroots sports. \"Missing the interaction with their friends has been a big thing for kids,\" she said. \"I feel responsible in a way to make sure that they're getting a good education and that lives are good outside gymnastics.\" Kate has considered this responsibility when deciding how to cast her vote. One issue she believes has been neglected in the election campaign has been the criminal justice system and how it affects children. She said: \"Children who haven't been convicted of any crime can be taken away from their support network and held on remand - I don't know what possible benefit that can have. \"Also the Black Lives Matter movement has shone a light on the justice system as whole and prompted me to look into it. \"Afro Caribbean and black people in the UK are more likely to spend more time in prison. If you feel like something is unfair, you feel a responsibility to say something about it.\" Living in the north east of Scotland, Kate said she was conscious that the oil and gas sector required a transition to renewables, but was not convinced it could be phased out in 10 years. She said: \"I think renewables are really important but there is a tendency to push the debate towards electricity. \"Even if all electricity comes from renewables you still need oil and gas for making things like plastics and clothing.\"",

            "input": "By Robin SheeranBBC News NI Now imagine negotiating those obstacles as a blind or partially-sighted person. The Royal National Institute for the Blind (RNIB) has said that advertising boards or A-boards are the main cause of injury to blind people on streets. The organisation's campaign entitled Who put that there is aiming to encourage people to report A-board trip hazards. Tony Barclay, who is registered blind and regularly visits Belfast city centre, makes his way around using a white cane or assisted by his guide dog. He explained that the problem with the boards is that their point of contact with the ground can be less than an inch. \"A-boards are a pain in the butt because we don't know where they are,\" he said. \"It's like a slalom course - it's become really, really dangerous.\" 'Safety and convenience' Bill Foster also uses a stick to get around and said he has been complaining to Belfast City Council about street furniture for about three years. One of the problems he has with A-boards is that they are all different sizes. \"You think you're passing it with the white stick but next thing you kick them or trip over them,\" he added. In recent years, the Northern Ireland Executive encouraged the development of a \"cafe culture\" in Northern Ireland's towns and cities. Businesses wanting to place chairs and tables outside their premises have to get a licence. But the situation with A-boards seems to be more problematic. The RNIB told BBC News NI that councils \"have the power\" to remove them or to make sure ensure they are located in a \"safe space or within an enclosed area\". However, Belfast City Council said that the main responsibility for ensuring clear pavements lies with Stormont's Department for Infrastructure. \"Councils do have some powers under the pavement cafe legislation, however there is still ongoing consultation on how this is implemented and enforced by councils,\" it added. The Department for Infrastructure's initial response to BBC News NI was that its \"understanding\" was that councils had powers to remove the boards. In a later statement, it said it \"has the authority\" to remove obstructions from footpaths \"where they are considered to prejudice the safety or convenience of pedestrians\". 'Use common sense' Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) MLA Jim Wells, who chairs the Northern Ireland Assembly's all-party group on visual impairment, said the issue \"comes up at almost every meeting\". \"There has to be a role for statutory authorities,\" he added. Retailers placing the boards \"seem to have no regard for the visually-impaired\", he claimed. But Glyn Roberts of the trade body Retail NI disputed that claim, saying that retailers wanted to ensure their businesses are \"accessible for everyone in the community\". He said a total ban was not an approach his organisation would favour. \"I would trust our members to use common sense,\" he said. Last year, Edinburgh City Council implemented an outright ban on A-boards across the Scottish capital. That was not without controversy as the owners of businesses in side streets and arcades felt it put them at a disadvantage. A-boards may be the most vexing and often painful obstruction blind and partially-sighted people face on city streets but in many ways they represent just the tip of the iceberg. Any unpredictable blockage can cause problems, including bins left for collection, cars parked half on the pavement and overhanging branches.",

A previous Ofsted report published in January 2019, after an inspection in November 2018, had found that on two occasions untrained staff had restrained pupils, the Local Democracy Service reported. This report related to the boarding accommodation at the school for overseas pupils, which later closed in November 2019. \"This poor practice leaves children and staff at risk,\" the report said. The inspectors said the school's safeguarding culture was \"weak\", as \"leaders, managers, staff and trustees do not protect children from harm\". \"Leaders and managers have failed to ensure effective management of safeguarding matters,\" the report said. Ofsted said the school's strengths were providing children with \"good quality accommodation\", children said that it was a good school, and leaders and managers have a \"good understanding about private fostering arrangements\". Ofsted inspectors previously visited the independent school and published a progress monitoring report in October 2019. It stated the trustees \"maintain effective oversight of safeguarding practice\" at the school, but the overall outcome stated it did not meet all of the independent school standards that were checked during this inspection.

However, the ONS insists the latest statistics show a fall in the unemployment rate, because the most meaningful comparisons are made quarterly in order not to rely too much on a single month's figure. On that basis, the rate of unemployment in the three months to December fell by 0.4% on the previous quarter, when it stood at 7.6%. Nick Palmer, the ONS's senior labour market statistician, said: \"The main conclusion that should be drawn from these latest figures is that the rate at which unemployment has been falling is likely to have slowed down.\" Youth unemployment Youth and long-term unemployment have also fallen, but there has been little change in the number of people classed as economically inactive, which has remained just under nine million. Employment Minister Esther McVey said the figures were more evidence the government's economic plans were working. \"Record numbers of women are in work and youth unemployment continues to fall, which means more people have the security of a regular wage and can plan for their future,\" she added. However, Shadow Work and Pensions Secretary Rachel Reeves said jobless levels were still too high. \"While today's fall in overall unemployment is welcome, the government must not be complacent,\" she added. \"More than 900,000 young people are still unemployed and over 250,000 young people have been unemployed for over a year.\" The number of people in part-time jobs now stands at 1.4 million, a fall of 29,000 over the latest quarter, but 46,000 higher than a year ago. Bank of England According to the ONS figures, the number of self-employed workers increased by 172,000 to 4.37 million. The unemployment rate remains a key focus for the Bank of England, but it is no longer linked to governor Mark Carney's pledge to keep interest rates at record lows. The Bank had pledged not to consider a rate rise until unemployment fell to 7%, but with that target set to be reached much earlier than expected, the guidance has been replaced. Policy will now be determined not just by unemployment, but by a wider range of indicators, including wage growth and productivity. Mr Carney also warned the recovery was not secure and that when rates rose, they would do so only \"gradually\". Analysts say that despite the latest jobs estimates being less buoyant than in previous months, they could hint at some more positive signs for the UK economy, bearing in mind recent increases in economic growth. Howard Archer, chief UK economist at IHS Global Insight, said: \"It could be an early sign that productivity is finally starting to pick up with more companies making increasing use of their existing workers rather than taking on new workers. \"This would be highly welcome news for the economy's longer-term growth prospects.\"",

            "input": "By Nick TriggleHealth correspondent The prime minister was asked how she could expect their support given the 1% cap on pay rises, leaving Theresa May battling to explain why such restraint was necessary. After all, in its manifesto, the Conservatives said that NHS spending was to increase. By the end of the Parliament, the Tories have promised that funding in England will be £8bn higher a year once inflation is taken into account. It does not set out how this will be paid for, although the party insists economic growth is key to spending more. What's in the manifesto? However, as with all manifestos, you need to look at what is not being said as well as what is. The £8bn refers to only one part of the overall budget - the money allocated to front-line services. This accounts for just over three-quarters of the entire health budget. There was a lack of detail about much of the rest of the pot, which goes on things like staff training and public health programmes such as stopping smoking, apart from the promise of extra investment in buildings. During the last Parliament these pots were cut to help pump more money into the front-line services. The same could happen again - albeit with some protection this time for the buildings budget. What is also not obvious is that the £8bn is much less than the health service has been used to. Before 2010, the NHS had been getting an extra 4% a year over its history. This reflects the fact that the health service faces rising costs from factors such as the ageing population, the cost of new drugs and lifestyle issues like obesity. But those rises dried up between 2010 and 2017. Since then the NHS has been getting about 1% a year. What difference will the £8bn for the next Parliament make to that trend? Very little. Forecasts suggest the spending plans amount to just over 1%. But the Tories are not alone on this. The Nuffield Trust think tank has been looking at the spending plans set out by all three main parties - and concluded there is very little between them. And all three fall well short of the 4% average. It explains why, despite the promises of extra money, the Tories have felt it necessary to continue with the pay cap. It's not in the manifesto - instead that talks about \"benefits\" such as flexible working and new support for staff with mental health problems - but it remains very much a part of their wider NHS policy. Following the last election, the then chancellor George Osborne announced public sector pay was to be capped at 1% until 2019. That, as the nurse pointed out on live television, continues to remain in place. Read more from Reality Check Follow us on Twitter",

The soap has featured indigenous actors before but not in the main cast. The show, based in a fictional suburb outside Melbourne, has been accused of not reflecting ethnic diversity during its 29-year history. Previous indigenous actors who have appeared in the soap include Tony Briggs in the late 1980s. He was the first Aboriginal actor to appear on the show. In 2012, a South Asian family, called the Kapoors, moved into Ramsay Street, but they were written out of the soap a year later. 'Best people' Actor Sachin Joab, who played Ajay Kapoor, told Digital Spy last year: \"It was more of a shock to us knowing that it wasn't just one multicultural actor who was being written out, it was every single multicultural full-time actor on the show. \"All four of us were written out in the first year of our full-time contracts, which felt like a massive step backwards in terms of cultural diversity on the show. \"Australia is stuck in some sort of time capsule... For some reason when it's fiction over here, the industry chooses to exclude non-whites and include whites only. It's very unrealistic given that Australia is a very multicultural country,\" he added. But speaking to the Guardian about casting Wyatt, Neighbours' series producer Jason Herbison said: \"While cultural diversity is definitely important, in cases where we don't need a specific ethnic background, our brief to agents is to put forward their best people and that was the case for this character.\" Born in the remote town of Kalgoolie in western Australia, Wyatt's passion for acting emerged when he attended boarding school in Perth. He graduated from the country's National Institute of Dramatic Arts (NIDA), and was named best newcomer in the 2011 Sydney theatre awards. He recently completed the feature film Strangerland starring Nicole Kidman, Joseph Fiennes and Guy Pearce, due for release in 2015. His Neighbours character already has a connection with two of Ramsay Street's long-term residents, Susan and Karl Kennedy. Susan was previously married to Nate's uncle.",

He was campaigning with two ex-Tories - Mark Reckless, who is standing for UKIP in Rochester, and Douglas Carswell, who has become UKIP's first elected MP. Tory and Labour MPs have called for a response to UKIP's surge. Mr Reckless, whose resignation as the Conservative MP for Rochester and Strood triggered a by-election, said UKIP would \"bring decisions back from Westminster\" and \"put local communities in charge\". Mr Carswell urged voters to \"choose change\". He praised Mr Reckless for his decision to seek voters' approval in a by-election and criticised other parties for conducting \"a highly personal, aggressive smear campaign\" against the UKIP candidate. Mr Farage said the result of Thursday's poll in Clacton, which Mr Carswell won for UKIP by 12,404 votes, was \"absolutely phenomenal\". He again dismissed Conservative claims that voters who switched support from the Tories to UKIP risked handing power to Labour. The evidence of Clacton was \"vote UKIP, get UKIP\", he said. The Rochester by-election is expected to take place next month, but a date has not been set. 'Good protest vote' Mr Farage said his party was \"not a splinter\" of the Tories and dismissed questions about any electoral pact with them. \"We want to win our own representation in Westminster and we believe only by doing that can we fundamentally change British politics,\" he said. \"To sell out so that one or two people can have ministerial positions is not what UKIP's about. \"I don't trust David Cameron. I don't believe a word David Cameron says and for that reason it would be fruitless to even enter into any negotiation.\" Mr Reckless has reiterated that UKIP wants to \"rebalance\" immigration, which he said had held down wages for some workers and increased competition for jobs. The Labour candidate for Rochester and Strood, Naushabah Khan, said voters had more pressing issues, such as \"a hospital which is failing\" and \"60% of our primary schools which are failing\". The Liberal Democrat candidate, Geoff Juby, said his party \"seem to be out on the streets a bit more\" than Labour and the Conservatives. Clive Gregory, standing for the Green Party, said a vote for him would be \"a good protest vote\" whereas UKIP represented \"the same nonsense as the Conservatives\". The Conservatives will conduct a full postal ballot of constituents to select their candidate. 'Mutually-assured destruction' Asked about the national picture, Tory MP Jacob Rees Mogg renewed calls for his party to make a pact with UKIP. He told the Times newspaper that the impact UKIP has had on the Labour vote in northern England had been encouraging. \"We should think about what that means in terms of the UKIP-Conservative relationship because the Conservative family could win a majority on that basis,\" he said. \"Otherwise, the only thing we manage is mutually-assured destruction.\" Mr Cameron on Friday repeated his warning that voting for UKIP could hand the general election to Labour. This would mean \"no action on immigration, no European referendum and - most importantly - you won't get a continuation of the plan that is delivering success for our economy and security for our people\", he said. However, in the wake of Labour's narrow victory over UKIP in another by-election this week, in Heywood, several of the party's MPs have expressed concerns about leader Ed Miliband's electoral strategy. Former pensions minister Frank Field said \"very large numbers\" of Labour voters were unhappy with the way the party was performing. \"If last night's [Thursday's] vote heralds the start of UKIP's serious assault into Labour's neglected core vote, all bets are off for safer, let alone marginal seats at the next election,\" Mr Field said. \"Until we get that central to our message we're in trouble.\" Shadow chancellor Ed Balls insisted Labour did have the answers to voters' concerns. \"If you want reform in Europe, tough and fair immigration rules, a national health service free at the point of use, a higher minimum wage and action in a fair way to tackle the cost of living crisis... there's no point in voting Tory, [and] there's no point in voting UKIP,\" he said.",

Flats and a restaurant on the corner of Bridge Street were destroyed in the explosion and fire on 3 January 2010. Gas ignited from a fractured pipe in a unpredicted failure, the report said. The corrosive nature of the ground soil, as well as pressures from a nearby brick wall and telecom unit may have caused a fracture in the cast iron mains pipe, the HSE said. In September 2009, the National Grid wrote to BT Legal claiming the telecom company's concrete chamber had been incorrectly laid over an existing gas main. No laws breached BT said there was no \"substantive evidence\" to support National Grid's allegations that it was at fault for the explosion. The HSE report said no health and safety laws had been breached, and as such no enforcement action should be taken. None of the people living in the Bridge Street flats had reported smelling gas or anything unusual in the days before the explosion, the report noted. Four people in the flats in numbers 1 to 5 Bridge Street were seriously hurt when the explosion happened just before 1130 GMT that day, causing a fire in the footpath in front of the buildings. They were either thrown from the building or buried in debris. Two members of a family of six were also badly injured when flying masonry hit them in the nearby car park of the Shrewsbury Hotel. Sarah Pearse, who lived in the flats, was injured in the explosion. She said she was disappointed to still not have answers following the HSE report. \"We still haven't really got any justice for it,\" she said. \"We still don't know who's to blame. \"I had 67% and was in hospital for quite a long time. The hospital said to my dad if I'd been 10 years older there's a possibility I wouldn't have survived. \"It's lucky it happened to me rather than an older person.\" The explosion damaged neighbouring buildings and other utilities in the area, including telephone lines and traffic lights. Police inquiries in the immediate aftermath ruled out the possibility of criminal activity or terrorism being responsible for the blast. 'Correctly maintained' The HSE investigation focussed on the possibility of a faulty gas distribution system and found the cast iron mains pipe was sunk in sandy-gravelly soil that was classified as \"very aggressive\" to \"moderately corrosive\". National Grid Gas could not be expected to have known about the soil type, the report said. The mains gas was being operated within normal pressure parameters and there were no signs to suggest the 20th Century pipe needed replacing urgently, although there were national plans to replace pipe networks whenever they came within 30m of a domestic building. Records showed the mains had consistently been classified as a low gas leak risk and there were no reported leaks within recent history that would have required repairs. \"HSE's investigation has concluded that National Grid Gas have correctly applied their gas mains maintenance procedures in relation to the low pressure main located at 1-5 Bridge Street,\" the report said.",

They are among more than 100 instalments which were not retained by the BBC. The announcement was made on Sunday at Missing Believed Wiped, an event held at the British Film Institute (BFI). The BFI, based in London, has been working with broadcasters and film collectors to recover missing recordings of many different television series. Television programmes only began to be routinely recorded in the late 1950s. Previously, they were broadcast live. Even when it became possible to make recordings, video tape was so expensive that most transmission tapes were wiped, so they could be re-used. In the 1970s, the BBC commissioned a report by the historian Lord Briggs. His findings prompted efforts to improve the archiving of television programmes. Although original transmission tapes did not survive, programmes were transferred on to film for broadcasters abroad and it is these prints that the BFI sometimes recover. Doctor Who was sold all over the world in the 1960s. The latest two episodes to be found were in the private collection of a retired broadcast engineer, Terry Burnett, who bought them at a school fete in Hampshire in the 1980s. Mr Burnett had no idea the BBC did not have the recordings - it was only when he mentioned them casually in conversation to Ralph Montagu, head of heritage at Radio Times, that their significance was recognised. Airlock is the third episode of a four-part story called Galaxy Four, transmitted in the autumn of 1965. Hartnell is accompanied by Peter Purves, later a presenter on the children's series Blue Peter, and Maureen O'Brien, now better known as a novelist. The plot involves the desperate attempts by the Drahvins, a race of cloned females, to escape a planet which is about to explode. The story also marks the only appearance in the series of tiny robots known as the Chumblies. The other re-discovered episode is the second part of The Underwater Menace, from early 1967. It sees a mad scientist attempting to restore Atlantis by draining the ocean into the Earth's core. Patrick Troughton, in only his third appearance as The Doctor, was apparently unimpressed with the production. In a recent biography, his son Michael says he argued with the director Julia Smith - who went on to become the original producer of EastEnders - complaining bitterly about the \"ridiculous costumes and make-up of the fish people\". Innes Lloyd, who produced The Underwater Menace later admitted, \"it did look like something from a '50s American 'B' movie\". The find makes only a modest dent in the number of missing episodes, with 106 instalments broadcast between 1964 and 1969 still being sought. Among other items recovered and shown at Sunday's event were Emergency Ward 9, a play by Dennis Potter, and a comedy sketch featuring Peter Cook and Dudley Moore.",

            "input": "Carrie GracieChina editor@BBCCarrieon Twitter In a move which signals President Xi Jinping's hard-fought victory in a battle for supremacy over the party high command, the Xinhua news agency says Mr Zhou is to be investigated for serious disciplinary violations, a shorthand for corruption. \"No matter how big the tiger, as long as it breaks the law… and violates party rules, that tiger will find it hard to escape the iron cage.\" This was the verdict from the party's mouthpiece, the People's Daily, on news of the investigation into Zhou Yongkang. But with his public disgrace, China's politics moves into uncharted territory. Mr Zhou is the most senior politician to be humiliated in this way in decades. During the reform era of the past 35 years, there has been an unwritten pact that those arriving at the top do not attack those departing, an effort to avoid the political savagery of the Mao era. Zhou Yongkang retired from running the powerful security apparatus at the same moment in 2012 when Xi Jinping was elevated to the Party leadership. But with today's announcement of the investigation into Mr Zhou, President Xi has torn up the rulebook for top level Chinese politics, and other powerful veterans will worry that they might be next. Disappearance from public eye Zhou Yongkang rose from a poor family to become an oil engineer, accelerating through party ranks to run China's biggest oil company and then Sichuan, a province of 80 million. He crowned his career with a seat at the party's top table, the Standing Committee of the Party Politburo. Beyond his home village, he could never have claimed to be the most loved man in China, but until 2012, he could claim to be the most feared. Today's announcement from China's official news agency gives no detail of the allegations against Mr Zhou. But many observers believe his fate may have been sealed when his protege, Bo Xilai, fell from power as a result of a sensational scandal involving his wife's prosecution for the murder of a British businessman. It was clear that Zhou Yongkang was in trouble when he disappeared from public view late last year. In the intervening months, his name has gone unmentioned in state media but one after another his political allies, whether in the oil industry, in Sichuan province or in the security system, have fallen prey to an increasingly intense anti-corruption campaign. Family members, drivers, bodyguards and proteges were caught up in the net. Today's announcement was only a matter of time. 'Tigers as well as flies' China's one-party political system lacks the kind of electoral cycle which makes room for new people and new ideas and an anti-corruption campaign has often been a convenient means for a new leader to neutralise rivals and consolidate power. But with today's public disgrace of such a senior figure, Xi Jinping is signalling that his campaign is different. For years Communist Party leaders have warned that rampant corruption is the greatest threat to the party's survival. It is impossible to exaggerate the depth of public cynicism about China's political class. And the figures involved are staggering. As the economy has surged, senior officials have plundered billions in public assets, many hiding their fortunes in offshore accounts and foreign assets. Critics accuse Mr Xi of hypocrisy, observing that some in his own family have got rich in these years. But his declared determination to tackle \"the tigers as well as the flies\" has won the president public popularity and signalled to the giant party and government bureaucracy that he is serious about tackling vested interests, especially those who might be minded to obstruct his planned economic reforms. Many thousands of officials have already been investigated and there is no sign of the campaign losing steam. The People's Daily said tonight: \"The situation is still grim and complicated….Fighting corruption won't end. Taking out Zhou Yongkang is not the end. This is only one step, one stage. Whoever is corrupt will be punished.\" For Xi Jinping this is an important personal victory. He has ended the uncertainty over whether he could land one of the biggest \"tigers\" of them all and prove himself the unchallenged strongman at the top. But one comment on social media asked tonight whether Zhou really was \"the king of the tigers or just any other tiger?\" And many Chinese will speculate about the remaining \"tigers\" still at large, the former or current leaders shielding family members with corrupt business empires. What's more, today's announcement does nothing to rescue the reputation of the Party itself. And delivery of such a hugely significant political stroke in a terse one line statement on the official news agency and broadcast news serves to underline how little either the Chinese public or the world at large are permitted to know about the internal politics of the world's second-largest economy.",

The advert has been viewed more than six million times, and was part of a fundraising effort which eventually raised more than £80m ($109m) for causes around the world, including helping children in Liberia. It touched a nerve, and made people pick up their phones and donate, so what exactly is wrong? \"It's not really about what was wrong with the video,\" Ugandan photographer and Rusty Radiator juror Edward Echwalu told the BBC. \"But the general mentality that they have to bring a western celebrity with them. \"They have no idea about what's on the continent. Look at him: he got emotionally attached to the situation, it tells me that he had no idea and he was not ready to be confronted with the kind of hardship people in some African cities contend with.\" So why do charities like to bring celebrities into these videos? \"We would like to be able to talk to the public directly, but what we find is if we wanted to talk about the fantastic work we do, people on breakfast television are not going to have me on to speak,\" ActionAids' Mike Noyes said. \"The reality is, whether it is breakfast television, Cosmopolitan magazine or the Daily Mail, it is the combination of the celebrity which makes it interesting and accessible.\" But Mr Sheeran has also been accused of playing the \"white saviour\" - swooping into people's lives and making grand gestures, but, some think, making it all about themselves, with little understanding of the wider situation. Too much of this particular video was focused on Mr Sheeran's experience, Mr Echwalu said - much like the people who go to volunteer in countries around the world, and spend their time uploading selfies to social media. For Mr Echwalu, it detracts from what should be the focus - the experience of the person who they are meant to be helping. What's more, those who oppose videos like this one complain, they lack context to ensure people understand what is going on and, Mr Echwalu argues, play into a wider narrative - one which fails to reflect the diverse continent he knows. \"The West is extremely misinformed,\" he said. \"Definitely the continent has issues and depends on foreign aid. \"But if you do not understand the continent very well you might think we should depend on foreign aid. I personally strongly believe even without foreign aid, but with proper leadership, we would be fine.\" So how do exactly do you create a video which both respects the subject, and gets the message across? For Mr Echwalu, who has spent a lot of time with the refugees seeking shelter in Uganda, the answer is simple - humanising people. \"Use the voice of the people. Not any child who cannot even state their name,\" he says. \"An ideal way is to tell stories - positive stories about ambitions: we are here, we are starting a new life, where do you see yourself - that should be the approach. \"It means I do not have to assume. Yes, it might be plain and clear [they were in a bad situation], but I would use the voices of the people.\" Batman video gets recognition The organisers behind the Rusty Radiators have another category, the Golden Radiator Award, for \"the most nuanced, inspiring, and solution-oriented fundraising video\". It went to Batman, by War Child Holland, with the jury describing as \"powerful\" and as \"effective humanitarian crisis imagery\". Mr Noyes agrees. ActionAid International made the decision to move its headquarters to Johannesburg, South Africa, in order to be closer to, and understand better, the communities it is trying to serve. Hand-in-hand with that is putting the stories of those they help front and centre. Unfortunately, the good news stories do not always make as big an impact as they would like. \"I think there is a media landscape: bad news is more interesting than good news,\" he says. \"The challenge is to tell the true story, with dignity and respect.\" Responding to the award, Comic Relief chief Liz Warner said they \"rightly challenge organisations like Comic Relief to be as responsible, fresh and relevant as possible when conveying our issues. \"That's a challenge we have always tried to meet and will continue to do so, perhaps now with a little extra energy.\" She added: \"We're grateful to Ed Sheeran for his time and commitment, to the people who've given money and to the people who run the projects we support. And we really hope that we don't win this award again.\" And Mr Echwalu also wanted to make clear he knows Mr Sheeran had absolutely nothing but good intentions. Mr Echwalu said: \"It touched him and I'm glad. He meant well, but the act of taking one child for a couple of nights in a hotel? Long term, it is nothing. It does not aid the hundreds of others who were left behind.\"",

            "input": "The cover has been praised as a win for body positivity - with people sharing the importance of seeing a \"visibly fat woman\" on the front of a fashion mag. Tess, who's a UK size 26, says she cried when asked to be on the cover. \"A magazine like that has never put someone like me, an actual fat body, on the cover of a magazine,\" she told BBC's Victoria Derbyshire. \"To be on a glossy where you can actually see my body, they haven't altered how I look, makes me really, really proud. \"It not only meant a lot to me, but the work that I'm doing, which would therefore impact millions of bodies that look like mine.\" The 33-year-old also wrote on Instagram: \"If I saw a body like mine on this magazine when I was a young girl, it would have changed my life.\" Many people have praised the cover on Twitter. However, there's some that argue it's encouraging \"unhealthy bodies\". \"Of course they're mad that I'm fat, but that's every day of my life,\" Tess said in response to the criticism. \"The reality is I've never once told my followers or anyone to gain weight. \"I'm saying that I love myself and because that happens to be coming from a fat body and a bigger body like mine, people then equate it saying 'I'm promoting obesity and that I'm unhealthy'. \"Even if it was what I do with my body it's no-one's business.\" A true representation of plus-sized women? The fact Tess is a size 26 can be seen as significant. Some brands have been criticised recently by fashion bloggers who claim \"plus-sized women are being erased from the very movement they created\". In an Instagram post, fashion influencer Sophie Tassew said a lot of the women used for plus-sized campaigns simply had \"flat stomachs and big butts\". It's something blogger Stephanie Yeboah also claims is an issue. She says she's noticed over the past few years that \"the only models brands seem to use to promote plus-sized clothing are women who are between size 12 and 16, who often have a flat tummy, with big boobs and big bums\". \"They want our money, yet they refuse to hire somebody that represents us,\" she told Newsbeat. \"It's not the case of this being the model's fault - the fault lies with casting agents and what they consider to be plus-sized.\" In the last few years several brands have expanded their plus-sized range and have booked models such as Felicity Hayward. \"I am a plus-sized model, I have a big bum and big boobs but I also have a belly and big hips,\" she said. She's worked on campaigns for brands such as Missguided, Make Your Mark and L'Oreal Elvive. \"Women come in all different shapes and sizes and they should be represented,\" she added. \"There are issues in the industry where brands will use a size 14 girl and then they put padding on her - that is something I have a problem with. \"You should be using real bodies and not bodies that have been padded with fabric to create an unrealistic body ideal.\" Felicity says there are brands that do use plus-sized models without airbrushing them. \"My belly is shown in campaigns and I have done a lot of campaigns that are unedited.\" Now that a model of Tess' body type has graced the cover of a major fashion magazine, Stephanie hopes others will follow suit. \"I think it's an amazing feat that for the very first time, we see a plus-sized woman grace the cover of a mainstream magazine in a full frame photo wearing a form-fitting outfit,\" she says. \"It's definitely something that plus-sized women have needed for the longest time and marks the first step in what I hope to be a more diverse casting in regards to body shapes and ethnicities. \"Hopefully other magazines take notice and begin to react accordingly.\" Follow Newsbeat on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter.

            "input": "Sayfullo Saipov, 29, said he intended to kill as many people as possible and \"felt good\" about the Halloween attack. The Uzbek immigrant, who faces federal terrorism charges, says he was inspired by so-called Islamic State. He was shot and injured by police at the scene. US President Donald Trump tweeted that he should receive the death penalty. The charges filed against Mr Saipov are federal, which means the government can override New York state's ban on capital punishment. What did the suspect say? Mr Saipov appeared in court in a wheelchair 24 hours after mowing down cyclists and pedestrians on a bike lane in Lower Manhattan on Tuesday. Six people died at the scene and two more in hospital. Twelve people were injured, four of whom remain in critical condition. Prosecutors say Mr Saipov spoke freely to them, waiving his right to avoid self-incrimination while in custody. According to federal court papers, he said: Mr Saipov was charged with one count of providing material support and resources to IS and another count of violence and destruction of motor vehicles. New York Police's Deputy Commissioner John Miller said the suspect appeared \"to have followed almost exactly to a 'T'\" IS instructions on how to carry out such an attack. The FBI says they have located a second Uzbek man, 32-year-old Mukhammadzoir Kadirov, who was wanted for questioning in connection with the attack. Who is the suspect? Sayfullo Saipov had reportedly lived in Tampa, Florida, before moving to Paterson, New Jersey. He arrived in America from Uzbekistan in 2010 and is a legal resident of the country. Uber confirmed he had been working as a driver for them. CBS News quotes an intelligence source as saying he was known to US authorities after his name was associated with the subjects of FBI counter-terrorism investigations in 2015. The source says he had some contact with individuals who were considered radicalised extremists, at least one of whom was Uzbek. It is unclear whether those being investigated were in the US or overseas. It is not known if Mr Saipov, who was not the main focus of the investigation, was interviewed at that time by the FBI. What has been the reaction? New York has increased the police presence at key transport hubs, and there will be additional uniformed and plain-clothes police on duty at Sunday's New York Marathon. President Trump said he was taking steps to end the diversity lottery programme - the immigration system under which the suspect entered the country. But on Thursday, the US president drew back from an earlier call to send the suspect to the US military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, suggesting it would take too long. The administration says it has not ruled out adding Uzbekistan to a list of countries in the president's proposed travel ban. The mayor of New York City and the governor of New York state have both praised the resilience of New Yorkers - and urged people not to \"politicise\" a tragedy that took eight lives. Governor Andrew Cuomo and Mayor Bill de Blasio also suggested New York's strict gun control laws had ensured that high-powered weapons could not get into the hands of terrorists. How did the attack unfold? The attacker rented the truck from a New Jersey branch of retailer Home Depot on Tuesday afternoon before driving to New York City and entering the bike lane, police said. Video cameras show the van driving at very high speed, appearing to target bike riders and pedestrians. After the truck collided with a school bus, the truck driver emerged and brandished what appeared to be two weapons. Mr Saipov was shot and wounded at the scene by an NYPD officer who was alerted to the attack by witnesses. Knives, a paint gun and a pellet gun were recovered from the scene. It was the deadliest terror attack in the city since 11 September 2001. Who were the victims? A group of five Argentine friends celebrating the 30th anniversary of their college graduation were among the dead. The men - all aged 48 or 49 - were named as Hernán Diego Mendoza, Diego Enrique Angelini, Alejandro Damián Pagnucco, Ariel Erlij and Hernán Ferrucci. Belgian officials said Anne-Laure Decadt, a 31-year-old from Staden in Flanders, was also killed. Three Belgians were wounded. Two other victims, both Americans, have been identified as Darren Drake, 32, and Nicholas Cleves, 23.",

            "input": "By Nick BryantBBC News, New York These are questions that UN officials find themselves fielding not just with mounting frequency but rising passion and frustration. For it is hard to recall a time when the world confronted so many seemingly intractable crises, and when the body designed to resolve and mediate them looked so thoroughly incapable of doing so. \"Why the UN Can't Solve the World's Problems\" ran an accusatory headline over the weekend in the New York Times, a newspaper that's something of a parish pump for UN diplomats. Just hot air? Certainly, there is no shortage of diplomatic effort. In February, the UN Security Council evidently had its busiest month since its creation in 1946, mainly because of a succession of meetings on the annexation of Crimea. For the past two Sundays, Council members have convened at midnight around their iconic horseshoe table. At consultations on the Middle East last week, ambassadors from more than 40 nations spoke in the chamber, in addition to the Security Council's 15 members, in a meeting that took up an entire day. August, which is usually a slow month at the UN, is expected to be unusually hectic. But to what end? Demands for an immediate and unconditional ceasefire, which is what the Security Council unanimously called for in the early hours of Monday morning, have gone unheeded by both Hamas and Israel. Nor has the UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon's shuttle and speed-dial diplomacy so far yielded tangible results. The self-effacing South Korean, now in the seventh year of his posting, often comes across as the ineffectual head of an ineffectual organisation. His almost daily statements on Gaza run the risk of becoming the diplomatic equivalent of Muzak - background noise that people are vaguely aware of, but do not listen to intently. Deadlock and dysfunction For all that, the main reason why the United Nations seems so unproductive is because its member states are so unco-operative. The UN is the sum of its parts, and when those parts work against each other the result inevitably is deadlock and dysfunction. Its 39-floor headquarters on the banks of the East River in New York can seem like a modern-day Tower of Babel. But again that is primarily the fault of the nations rather than the United Nations. Richard Holbrooke, a former US ambassador at the UN, perhaps put it best. \"Blaming the United Nations when things go wrong is like blaming Madison Square Garden when the Knicks play badly.\" It is hardly as if the UN is doing nothing. In the present Gaza conflict, the UN is sheltering more than 180,000 people in its schools. At least five UN employees have been killed while working in Gaza. It is also important to distinguish between UN agencies like OCHA (Organisation for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs), which deliver aid and ameliorate suffering, and UN bodies like the Security Council that regularly stymie those efforts through diplomatic divisiveness. OCHA has wanted for months to deliver aid over the borders of Syria without the permission of the Assad regime, believing it could boost aid to some 2 million people. But it took months of tortuous negotiations to secure a Security Council resolution because of Russian concerns about the violation of Syrian sovereignty. Russian obstructionism is a recurring problem. Often the international press corps stationed outside of the Security Council spends more time covering inaction rather than action. Stymied by veto The institutional deficiencies of the UN unquestionably exacerbate its dysfunction. Handing a veto to the five permanent members of the Security Council - the United States, Russia, France, Britain and China - was obviously a recipe for gridlock. But, alas, it was the price that had to be paid to secure the involvement of the major post-war powers, and to give the UN a chance of succeeding where the League of Nations failed. The United States has used its veto 14 times since the Cold War ended, while Russia has wielded it eleven times. Both countries use their vetoes to protect allies: Israel in the case of America, and Syria more recently in the case of Russia. Many draft resolutions do not even make it to a vote, because of the threat of veto. Chill returns In recent months, a Cold War chill has returned to the Security Council chamber, especially since Russia's annexation of Crimea. Filled with caustic invective and prefabricated soundbites, it has often become a place to air grievances and trade accusations rather than to engage in constructive diplomacy. The shooting down of Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 has only worsened the mood. With so many accusing fingers jabbed at the Russians, the chamber has felt more like a courtroom. That is not to say the body has been completely ineffectual. It has played a crucial role in helping to rid Syria of chemical weapons, following the passage of a resolution last September demanding their dismantlement. It also agreed to send a blue-helmeted peacekeeping force to the Central African Republic, though they have not yet arrived there. Besides, there are other forces at play that go some way to explaining this period of global disorder. America, wounded by the long wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, is understandably reluctant to play the role of global policeman and to project its military power. But the corollary has been a diminution of the Obama administration's diplomatic clout, whether in Tel Aviv, Cairo, Kabul or Baghdad. Seizing on this moment of American weakness, Vladimir Putin has sought to extend Russia's influence, even if it has meant flouting international law and norms, as has been the case with the annexation of Crimea. The new world order supposedly ushered in by the end of the Cold War has given way to a new world disorder. So the UN is something of a bipolar organisation, at once active and inactive. But the main blame lies with the member states themselves: nations that are far from being united.",

However, the Department of Finance says total departmental spending will grow by only £40m from 2020/21 to 2021/22. That is because Stormont's budget has been boosted in recent years by one-off payments. They related to the deal which restored devolution and the DUP's deal with the Conservatives in 2017. Stormont Finance Minister Conor Murphy described the Spending Review as a \"standstill budget\" for public services at a time when the executive faced pressures from both Covid-19 and Brexit. There was \"nothing by way of capital\" in the announcement which would allow ministers \"to invest in economic recovery\", he continued. Mr Murphy said there were also \"serious implications\" for public sector pay awards. Apart from NHS workers and the low-paid, salaries will be frozen for much of the public sector in England as a result of the review. \"It is wrong to try and divide public sector workers - all public sector workers provide a huge service, this pandemic showed that they are vital in terms of functions,\" the finance minister explained. \"To put a divide between one group and another is not right.\" The finance minister said he would discuss the Spending Review with other executive ministers on Thursday. 'Series of crises' DUP Treasury Spokesperson Sammy Wilson said it was important that departments, public bodies, businesses and the public receive \"certainty about the impact of spending plans\". Speaking in the House of Commons on Wednesday, Mr Sunak said the \"economic emergency\" caused by Covid-19 has only just begun. He said the UK economy is expected to shrink by 11.3% this year and not return to its pre-crisis size until the end of 2022 and government borrowing will rise to its highest outside of wartime to deal with the economic impact. SDLP leader Colum Eastwood described the Spending Review announcement as \"bleak\". The Foyle MP said: \"There is very little in this spending review that will provide comfort to people or businesses in Northern Ireland preparing for the worst kind of Brexit settlement in a few weeks. \"Whether it's car dealers unsure of the scale of the tax increase they'll be compelled to pay or supply chain operators still waiting on clarification on transport and logistics rules, we are facing a series of crises that need to be resolved.\"",

It is only the second time Mr Trump has used his presidential veto since he took office in 2017. Opposition in Congress to his policy on Yemen grew last year after Saudi agents killed the journalist Jamal Khashoggi at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul. The resolution passed the House of Representatives in April and the Senate in March, the first time both chambers had supported a War Powers resolution, which limits the president's ability to send troops into action. \"This resolution is an unnecessary, dangerous attempt to weaken my constitutional authorities, endangering the lives of American citizens and brave service members, both today and in the future,\" Mr Trump said in the veto message. The House Speaker, Democrat Nancy Pelosi, was among those to condemn President Trump for the move. Yemen has been devastated by a conflict that escalated in March 2015, when the rebel Houthi movement seized control of much of the west of the country and forced President Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi to flee abroad. Alarmed by the rise of a group they believed to be backed militarily by regional Shia power Iran, Saudi Arabia and eight other mostly Sunni Arab states began an air campaign aimed at restoring Mr Hadi's government. The US has provided billions of dollars of weapons and intelligence to the coalition. The UN says at least 7,000 civilians have been killed in the country, with 65% of the deaths attributed to air strikes by the Saudi-led coalition. US senators have accused Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman of ordering the murder of Mr Khashoggi, but Saudi prosecutors have insisted it was a \"rogue operation\" and that the agents were not acting on his orders.

Six members of staff said they had experienced bullying or sexual harassment at work. The BBC said it would take the allegations \"seriously\".

It asked about sexual harassment and bullying in the Senedd in Cardiff Bay and constituency offices and received 30 responses. Welsh Government Minister Julie James said \"inappropriate behaviour\" needed to be \"called out and dealt with\". She added: \"We need to look at current issues but also historic issues because if there is a reputational problem we need to address that as well.\" Three who responded said they had been sexually assaulted at work: The questionnaire was anonymous and did not include any names. This meant the specific claims could not be verified. Additional allegations of inappropriate behaviour were made by six members of staff who said they had experienced bullying or sexual harassment at work. There was also criticism about how complaints were dealt with. Other responses were more positive saying the atmosphere at the assembly was \"friendly, approachable and very rewarding\" and \"a lot better than it has been portrayed in the media\". On Tuesday the presiding officer Elin Jones said there was a \"serious\" problem with inappropriate behaviour at the Welsh assembly.

A further 37 who experienced or witnessed such behaviour said they did not report it. In total, 128 responses were received with a participation rate of 16.8% - around one in six. Analysis by BBC Wales Political Correspondent Arwyn Jones There is clearly a sensitivity here due to the death of sacked Welsh Government minister Carl Sargeant a few days after he insisted he would clear his name following allegations of \"unwanted attention, inappropriate touching or groping\". But those who spoke at the time supporting the rights of other women to make complaints against politicians in Cardiff Bay have faced what they call \"a barrage of attacks\" on social media and don't feel it's possible to discuss the subject. So why is that the case? Some of it is a result of fear about the \"backlash\", but there are other reasons too. We've had 30 responses, which is a typically low number for a questionnaire like this. So while it isn't representative it gives us an insight into life for some in Welsh politics. It's also reinforced by the findings of the assembly's own questionnaire. Read more In response to the BBC research, Director of BBC Wales Rhodri Talfan Davies said: \"Clearly these are serious allegations and we are going to look very carefully at the information that has been broadcast. It is phenomenally difficult to verify these types of allegations, they are given in confidence and we need to respect that. \"I have been in this job for seven years and I have never heard allegations of this nature against any individual member of staff but we are not complacent - if we receive any information that we can investigate then we will do that robustly and we will do it thoroughly.\" In a statement, the Welsh Assembly pointed to the recently passed Dignity and Respect policy, where any complaints about anyone working at or visiting the Assembly would be investigated. It added: \"Inappropriate behaviour of any kind has no place in the Assembly. The testimonies of the women interviewed by Wales Live and the results of the BBC survey coupled with our own survey results, clearly demonstrate that much more must be done to ensure that the National Assembly for Wales is a safe environment for those who work here, for those who visit the estate and for anyone who has dealings with us. \"For those who are subject to inappropriate behaviour, in whatever form that takes, we must ensure that they feel able to come forward to seek advice and support, as well as to make a complaint should they choose to do so.\" The BBC said anyone with further information could come forward anonymously or via independent organisation Expolink.

            "input": "Assistant Chief Constable Wayne Mawson made the announcement to a Holyrood committee. He also announced a pilot scheme in Fife in which the parents of all children subject to stop and search would be given a letter explaining why. There were 640,000 stop searches last year, with 25,000 involving children. The age of criminal responsibility in Scotland is currently eight - one of the lowest in Europe. Mr Mawson's comments to the Scottish parliament committee appeared to indicate that the change to stop search procedures would cover those under eight. Police Scotland later clarified that these searches would end for all children under 12. Mr Mawson, who has responsibility for local policing in the west of Scotland, told the Scottish Parliament's justice sub-committee that ending the practice was \"about doing the right thing\". Language and approach Last month a Freedom of Information request revealed children under 16 had committed more than 40,000 offences in Scotland in the past two years. Data obtained by BBC Scotland showed officers carried out 2,912 searches on children aged eight to 12 between April and December 2013. The Scottish Police Authority was asked to review stop and search on children following concerns about increasing use of the power. Mr Mawson said he \"thoroughly\" believed that stop search was effective in reducing particular crimes but said the force had agreed it needed to change its language and approach. Scottish Liberal Democrat justice spokeswoman Alison McInnes welcomed the decision. \"I am delighted that after months of pressing the authorities for change to protect children, Police Scotland have finally conceded that the position was indefensible,\" she said. \"This is a victory for children and their rights. We've argued all along for them to be protected. \"This acceptance of the problems of voluntary stop and search demonstrates change is required. That change cannot stop here.\" Under the new Fife pilot the details of every person stopped and searched, and the reason why, will be recorded. In England and Wales children are held responsible for crimes at age 10. In Germany, Italy and Russia it is 14. Scottish ministers have increased the age of criminal prosecution to 12, meaning children aged between eight and 12 would be referred to the Scottish Children's Reporter Administration but not to the procurator fiscal.",

Across Northern Ireland, manufacturers and suppliers are working around the clock to satisfy a massive increase in orders. Restaurants have been able to sell takeaway food, but now they are creeping warily towards more extensive opening. 'Couldn't get a date' The Pizza Guyz shop in west Belfast has seating for sit-in customers but for the moment those seats will be used by its 10 delivery drivers. In a short time it envisages customers calling in to pick up orders but, to keep their staff and clients safe, owner Ciaran Kelly has installed a transparent screen at the counter. The problem has been finding supplies of the plastic and someone to fit it. \"We started looking four to five weeks ago and found that guys either had not got the materials or were on furlough and could not give a date to do the work for four to five weeks\". He said he was beginning to panic that they would not have the protection in place in time. Ciaran eventually tracked down a shop fitter who has now fitted a ceiling-to-counter screen with a gap cut to slide out pizza and slide in payment. 'Everything I get disappears' One major manufacturer of the polycarbon or acrylic sheets in Northern Ireland has been so busy it has shifts running 24 hours a day, seven days a week. A small east Belfast business which cuts and shapes sheets to fit has been inundated with orders. Andrew Fleming's workshop is working long hours with a skeleton staff but has difficulty getting enough material to satisfy demand. \"I've been ordering maybe four times as much perspex as usual but everything I get in just disappears really quickly to customers,\" he said. \"The factory in England is working flat out but it can't keep up with demand.\" Offered twice the sum Shop fitter Sean Treacy knows how scarce and expensive the sheeting is. He predicted a rush to buy it and ordered early but found others wanted to buy it from him at any price. \"I was picking up sheets of polycarbon and while I was loading the van another client who hadn't ordered ahead offered me twice the sum I had just paid for it,\" he said. Sean says he did the decent thing and refused the extra money so he could fulfil his customers' orders on time The screens are likely to be semi-permanent fixtures while customers and staff feel there is a risk of Covid-19 being transmitted.",

But it meant this very private politician had few true friends to help when things turned sour, and neither the powers of patronage, nor the capability to schmooze or arm twist to get people around to her point of view. Few of her cabinet colleagues, even now, know her well at all, one saying that \"as things got harder the circle got smaller\". Another revealed that \"there was no trust, and no faith\". Settling the Tories' decades-long dispute over Europe was always perhaps beyond just one leader. But the wounds have got more painful under her leadership, rather than fading away. Mrs May was overwhelmed too by the contradictions of the Brexit policy she set. A reluctant Remainer at the start, she wanted to prove to her party that she really wanted us out. So she set red lines that strangled the possibility of a straightforward deal. This led to an uneasy compromise that would struggle to thrill anyone, after the country had made a binary choice in the referendum. And, as for her plan, she herself, let alone the cabinet, never had much appetite to sell it. As Mrs May stood in Downing Street to announce she was going, she urged compromise. But her political opponents are already remarking that it was a plea she only heeded far, far too late. This has been a broken administration for a long time. The idea that in a matter of weeks a genuine compromise could be reached with the other parties - after nearly three years of trying to stick to a Tory strategy - was always far-fetched. It's also worth noting how quickly her cabinet colleagues turned when her compromises would have meant having to vote for legislation that might have enabled another referendum - votes that would have been a drag on their chances in the leadership race. Mrs May was also, of course, overwhelmed by Parliament. I'll always remember the morning after the general election in 2017, when a senior Tory said: \"From now, me and only six mates will be able to stop anything happening.\" How prescient that proved to be. The Commons has indeed become a place where small groups pursuing the purity of their policy have overpowered attempts at pragmatism. Mrs May's departure marks the end of an episode of collective Westminster failure too. There is nothing right now that suggests the next leader will turn that into success. No one could ever accuse the departing prime minister of not caring enough. Contrast her agony at the end of her lectern statement with David Cameron's shockingly casual whistle as he went back into Number 10. Even in this moment of huge drama Mrs May wanted to make a point about changes she has been able to make: action on domestic violence, trying to tackle racial discrimination, attempts to deal with lack of housing. But she must know that the chapter in our history bearing her name will be about Brexit, and her failure to achieve it. There was always perhaps a mismatch between the scale of the challenges and her political ability: overwhelming in the end for Theresa May, with the public and her party underwhelmed by her.

But racist, homophobic, anti-Semitic and sexual messages flow freely on the unauthorised platform. Disney said it was \"appalled\" by the website, and has ordered it to close or face legal action. Club Penguin Online appeared to go offline on Friday afternoon. One man involved in the site has been arrested on suspicion of possessing indecent images of children. Detectives say the man from London has been released on bail pending further inquiries. Fan-operated clones Disney's Club Penguin was one of the first social networks for children. Launched in 2005, it had more than 200 million players at its peak. While anybody could join the original website, content filters and human moderators were employed to stop inappropriate messages or personal information from being shared. But Disney closed the website in 2017. Since then, unofficial clones of the website have been operated by fans. These private servers were launched using stolen or copied source code, and can easily be found by children searching the internet. Club Penguin Online is the largest of the social network's unofficial and unauthorised clones. It says its popularity has exploded during the coronavirus pandemic and now has seven million registered players. Penguin e-sex The BBC set up an account on the English, Spanish and Portuguese versions of Club Penguin Online. It found: Disney's original game banned the sharing of personal details, but players on this cloned site are openly sharing Snapchat, Instagram and Discord account details. A Zoom \"meet-up\" was also advertised and codes and passwords shared openly. Although it is impossible to verify the age of users, many told the BBC they were teenagers, and there were children playing, too. Kaden, 14, told the BBC there were areas of the game where it was safe to operate - but most players were in the unprotected \"mature\" sections. He said the conversations he had seen made him extremely uncomfortable. \"Any kid can click on these mature sections and they just see all this inappropriate stuff,\" he said. \"I've seen people advertise strip club igloos, I've seen people ask for pimps. There's a lot of swearing on there and I've been asked a lot of crazy things. It's really put me off going on these mature servers.\" Kaden's dad, Rick, told the BBC he had no idea what was happening in the game. \"I'm shocked. I thought that if he's on Club Penguin, then he's in a pretty safe place.\" Another long-time Club Penguin fan, teenager Miranda, said the game had \"gone from being family-friendly and fun to being monstrous\". Cold war Club Penguin Online is the largest private server and uses Disney's branding. One former staff member told the BBC the project had made about £9,000 through adverts, while most of the staff were young unpaid volunteers. Competition between Club Penguin Online and other unofficial versions of the game had escalated in the past six months. Server owners accused one another of hacking and harassment. One said it was a toxic community, \"like Game of Thrones with penguins\". The Club Penguin Online volunteer claims he was encouraged to carry out attacks on rival servers when he was a minor. \"I would find out and publish [users'] personal details, like addresses, what they looked like, their family's information. I carried out DDoS (distributed denial of service attacks) on other users, and I would threaten people. The stuff that I did was similar to what happened to me, which affected my whole family, but I do feel really bad about it now.\" A current Club Penguin Online staff member denied that this sort of activity was encouraged. Some gamers think the toxic culture on some of these fan servers is a wider problem that needs addressing. Gaming YouTuber Simi Adeshina, known online as Tamago2474, said: \"These private server games are being run by people who aren't really in a position or qualified to do so. It's all good and well to have a community that you've built, but when you get to a certain size there's a point where you have to have to employ a degree of professionalism.\" Cease and desist Disney has issued copyright notices to all private server games, giving them a deadline to close down or face legal action.

Labour's Stephen Kinnock said he and other MPs were having discussions with the DUP to try and win their support for this option. MPs will vote for a second time on a series of options later on Monday, amid deadlock over the government's withdrawal deal. Mr Kinnock is backing Common Market 2.0 - a proposal that would keep the UK closely tied to the EU. It is not clear if the DUP will vote for any of the tabled options. A party source said it would wait and see which options were selected by Speaker John Bercow. They added that the party would vote in a way that stuck to its principles regarding the union, and would ensure the 2016 referendum result was respected. Mr Wilson, the DUP's Brexit spokesman, said the party had abstained on voting for the Common Market 2.0 model last week and would probably do the same again. He added that he did not think a softer Brexit option was \"inevitable\" and Prime Minister Theresa May still had the \"opportunity to negotiate hard with EU\". \"They need agreement just as much as we do,\" he said. Common Market 2.0, also known as Norway Plus, would propose membership of the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) and a \"comprehensive customs arrangement\". Its proponents say this would remove the need for the Irish border backstop to ever take effect. The so-called backstop is an insurance policy designed to avoid a hard border \"under all circumstances\" between NI and the Irish Republic. 'Quite funny' Mr Kinnock told BBC News NI that MPs supporting Common Market 2.0 were involved in \"intense discussions\" with the DUP. \"They understand that frictionless trade is what deals with the backstop and means it would never have to be used and that's why they abstained from Common Market 2.0 on Wednesday,\" he said. \"I think that was a very interesting signal that the DUP can see that Common Market 2.0 is a way of leaving the European Union, but doing so in a way that means the backstop never needs to be activated.\" However, DUP leader Arlene Foster said the party was \"not in any discussions with the Labour party\". \"It is quite funny actually, if we talk to other MPs now we're in intensive negotiations with these people,\" she said. The DUP leader also said reports that seven of her 10 MPs backed Mrs May's withdrawal agreement were not true. Eight options The UK is now scheduled to leave the EU on 12 April, after MPs again rejected the withdrawal agreement. Monday's votes at Westminster are non-binding, but the intention is to see what outcome, if any, commands a majority. Meanwhile, Conservative MP Richard Drax has apologised to the DUP for voting in favour of the government's withdrawal agreement last Friday, having previously opposed the deal twice when it was voted on in Parliament. Mr Drax said he had \"let down my colleagues in the DUP\". On Sunday evening, Mr Wilson said that his party would not vote for the prime minister's Brexit deal even if she presented it to the House of Commons \"a thousand times\". Speaking to BBC News NI, he said the party's position was fixed. On Friday, the DUP's deputy leader Nigel Dodds said he would prefer to \"remain in the EU rather than risk Northern Ireland's position\" in the union. The party has stressed that the Irish border backstop, contained in the government's deal, breaches the party's one red line when it comes to Northern Ireland being treated differently from Great Britain. It has argued that any differences could pose a risk to the future of the union of the UK. 'Wrong side' Away from Westminster, Sinn Féin leaders, Mary Lou McDonald and Michelle O'Neill, are in Brussels to meet the EU's chief Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier. After the meeting, Ms McDonald said the backstop would have to come back in a \"new iteration, another form\" if the UK left without a deal because the UK had commitments to Ireland enshrined in international law. The \"chaos\" at Westminster had left Irish people feeling \"concern, frustration, worry and dismay,\" she added. Meanwhile, UK agriculture ministers have warned that some sectors will suffer \"significant stress and disruption\" in the event of a no-deal Brexit. In some of the strongest language to date, ministers also said that devolved administrations would not have the cash to cope unless Treasury made extra money available. Last week, a group of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs ministers from around the UK attended a meeting in Whitehall and a statement was released later. Northern Ireland was represented by Lord Duncan. What next?

Christopher Bailey, who took over as chief executive in May, has a package worth up to £10m a year. The company admitted it was \"a lot of money\", but said the amount was justified, to keep him in the business. Not binding Burberry said the vote was \"disappointing\". However, it is not binding, so the company will not be forced to change its policy. Mr Bailey, who was appointed chief executive in May, has an annual allowance of £440,000 on top of his £1.1m salary. On his appointment, he was also given 500,000 shares in the company, currently worth more than £7m. While shareholders voted down the remuneration report, rejecting the above pay package given to Mr Bailey, there was some better news for Burberry. The binding vote on its new overall pay policy was passed with the backing of 84% of shareholder votes, and Mr Bailey's appointment was approved by 99%. Targets Investors had also expressed concerns about 1.35m shares he was allocated before becoming chief executive, which had no performance criteria attached to them. At today's valuation, these shares would be worth £19.5m when he is eventually allowed to sell them in several years' time. In the meantime, the company said he could earn more than £10m a year over the next five years, if the retailer hits its performance targets. Mr Bailey retained his position as chief creative officer, when he took over from Angela Ahrendts as chief executive. 'A lot of money' The Investment Management Association (IMA), had issued an \"amber top\" warning about Burberry's pay policy. This is the second most serious censure the IMA, which represents the investment management industry, can give. In addition PIRC -Pensions and Investment Research Consultants- advised its members to vote against the company's remuneration report. But the company defended Bailey's pay package, saying that last year he was offered a higher salary elsewhere. The board took the view that \"it was essential that we retain Christopher in the business\", said the chairman, Sir John Peace. He said Bailey would only benefit from his share award if he stayed at Burberry for five years. He also pointed out that apart from the extra half million performance-related shares, Bailey had received no salary increase when he became CEO. \"We know that the amount paid to Christopher is a lot of money, but much of it is performance-related - which he will only receive if Burberry performs strongly. This will of course also benefit shareholders,\" said Sir John. \"And we are acutely aware that he could command a much higher package outside of the UK,\" he added. It is rare that protesting shareholders are in a majority, having happened just six times since 2000. Amongst the most recent examples was that of the insurance giant, Aviva. In 2012 investors voted against the pay package of the then chief executive, Andrew Moss. He resigned shortly afterwards. Earlier this week Burberry announced healthy sales growth, particularly in China. Retail revenues for the three months to the end of June were £370m, up almost 10% from a year earlier, while like-for-like sales increased by 12%.",

Eventually, residents would be able to choose real-time tariffs, to switch on appliances when energy is cheapest. The installation of smart meters has been riddled with delays and problems. A smart meter measures energy use, in the same way as a traditional gas or electricity meter. Unlike its predecessors, it sends that information directly to an energy supplier. Householders can track their energy use on a display screen, which should also show them the cost of how much they have used in pounds and pence. The \"Star Trek phase\" of the technology would allow residents to \"run the laundry\" at lower-cost times of day, owing to tariffs that allowed for a change in cost every half an hour, business minister Lord Duncan of Springbank told the Business Committee of MPs. Despite millions of pounds being spent on marketing, he added: \"There is still a relatively wide ignorance across the country about the value of smart meters.\" Are smart meters compulsory? Consumers can turn down the offer of a smart meter, which is installed for free by their supplier. However, it is a government target for suppliers to install smart meters in at least 85% of customers' homes by the end of 2024. This target was, in effect, a four-year delay from the original plan for suppliers to take all reasonable steps to fit meters by the end of 2020. Last month, the government also revealed that it predicts only half of households will have a smart meter by 2020 and that the cost of the rollout will rise from £11bn in 2016 to £13.5bn - although total savings from the improved technology will also rise from £16.73bn to £19.56bn. Lord Duncan admitted there had been \"hiccups along the road\", but there were potentially \"big incentives\" for people to agree to a smart meter being fitted. He added that those who stuck with \"relic meters\" risked \"very high\" maintenance costs. Are smart meters still going dumb? There have been a series of glitches that have left customers frustrated. \"My smart meter loses connection, the weather seems to affect it, and it beeps all the time and the only way to stop it is to remove the batteries,\" Bryde Town, from Halifax, told BBC News earlier this year. More bizarrely, a handful in England showed displays in Welsh. The biggest annoyance for customers is that the first meters go \"dumb\", meaning that when they switch energy suppliers the meter loses its smart functionality and they have to go back to reading the meter again. About 14 million of these first generation SMETS1 have been fitted - many by British Gas. Mary Starks, from regulator Ofgem, said that suppliers were now expected to fit the second generation meters, which still worked when customers switched. She said all of the SMETS1 meters should be smart again by the end of next year, when they are switched onto the centralised system without the need for an engineer entering someone's house. But the committee heard that only 4,500 out of the 14 million first generation meters had been switched over so far.",

The former business secretary was clearly frustrated policies he began to formulate in government were not developed by Labour in opposition. He clearly believes the party handed a political advantage to the Tories, something he describes as \"a huge political mistake\". No wonder so many North West council leaders have been willing to work collaboratively with the government, despite the substantial cuts they have endured. It is difficult to imagine how Labour lost the political initiative in its own regional heartland.

            "input": "By Harsh V Pant King's College, London After a successful visit to Japan earlier this month, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be welcoming Chinese President Xi Jinping on Wednesday. He will be following this up with his visit to the US at the end of September. And it is being claimed that both Mr Xi's visit to India and Mr Modi's visit to Washington will pack quite a punch. Given the recent history of turbulence in Sino-Indian ties, the visit of the Chinese president to India will be closely watched and analysed. As chief minister of Gujarat, Mr Modi travelled to China five times, more than to any other nation, and he has been visibly impressed by China's economic success. His landslide electoral victory in May was viewed by some in Beijing as a harbinger of better times, with Mr Modi being described as India's \"Nixon\" who will take Sino-Indian ties to new heights. Personal rapport This early exuberance has now given way to a more realistic appraisal but Beijing views Mr Modi as a strong leader who can deliver. An early outreach to Mr Modi was, therefore, seen as essential in making sure that Delhi does not gravitate rapidly to an emerging anti-China coalition in the larger Indo-Pacific as the US fashions its strategic rebalance to the region. Mr Xi will start his visit from Modi's home state of Gujarat on Mr Modi's 64th birthday on Wednesday where he will be personally welcomed by the Indian prime minister and treated to a sumptuous traditional dinner on the banks of the Sabarmati river. Mr Modi and Mr Xi have already met previously at the Brics summit in Brazil where they were able to develop a personal rapport which they would like to use to make this visit a success. Much like Mr Modi, Mr Xi is also a strong nationalist leader who has a hardline orientation on national security but remains eager to co-operate on economic issues. Mr Modi's room for diplomatic manoeuvering is considerably higher than that of his predecessor, Manmohan Singh, who was constrained by his lack of political authority and his party's seeming foreign policy ineptitude. Where the Congress Party has been paralysed by an almost irrational fear of offending Chinese sensitivities and in the process ended up jeopardising Delhi's ties with its partners like Japan and the US, Mr Modi has taken a more confident position from the very time he assumed office. Where he has openly talked of Chinese \"expansionism\" and has started taking concrete measures to insulate India from the negative effects of China's rapid military modernisation, he has also made it clear that he would be going all out to woo Chinese investments into India. Mr Modi's energetic diplomacy in his first few months in office seems to have put China on notice that Delhi is not without options in a rapidly evolving global geostrategic context. It has increased India's strategic space which Mr Modi would now like to leverage in his engagement with Beijing. In a sign that the focus of Mr Xi's visit will be on energising trade ties, the Chinese president will be accompanied by more than 100 Chinese businesspeople. China is likely to announce several major investment initiatives in India as the Chinese corporate sector starts looking at India with renewed interest under Mr Modi. India has been averse to Chinese participation in many sectors of the economy, thereby reducing the flow of Chinese foreign direct investment into India despite its dire need for it. Chinese companies will now be encouraged to invest in India by unveiling dedicated industrial parks in India. China is India's largest trading partner but with an increasing trade deficit hovering around $40bn. This is something that Mr Modi remains focused on rectifying. This focus on trade and economic issues does not mean that Mr Modi's government can afford to soft pedal on strategic issues. 'Maritime silk road' Last week, India's Foreign Minister, Sushma Swaraj, made it clear China must respect India's territorial claim over Arunachal Pradesh. \"For India to agree to a one-China policy, China should reaffirm one-India policy,\" argued Ms Swaraj. The Sino-Indian relationship faces a number of challenges - from the vexed boundary issue to a growing trade imbalance. Public perceptions have turned negative as mutual distrust between China and India has grown in the last few years. According to the Indian Home Ministry, there have been 334 \"transgressions\" by Chinese troops over the Indian border in the first 216 days of this year. China's growing naval presence in the Indian Ocean poses its own challenge to India. Mr Xi's visit to Maldives and Sri Lanka before coming to India underscores Beijing's commitment to develop close links with the island states of the Indian Ocean. China's plans for a \"maritime silk road\" connected by cross-border infrastructure will further cement Beijing's role in the region as both Male and Colombo have lapped up China's invitation to join this initiative. India has been invited too but it remains ambivalent about the project and is yet to make up its mind. The challenges are immense but so is this opportunity which is presented by the emergence of strong political leaderships in Beijing and Delhi. Both Mr Modi and Mr Xi have recognised this. It remains to be seen if they will be able to grasp the nettle this week. Harsh V Pant is Professor of International Relations at King's College, London.",

Consumers on the \"warm home discount\" will receive about £50 each. Money will also go to those who were misled.

Changes Scottish Power will pay £7.5m to the 140,000 customers it has on the government-led \"warm home discount scheme\" aimed at supporting customers who are likely to be at risk of fuel poverty. It estimates each will receive a payment of about £50. It has also set up a £1m customer compensation fund for customers who believe they have been mis-sold to. Scottish Power said the failings identified had now all been rectified. It stopped doorstep sales in 2011 and has also put in place independent checks on the conduct of its telephone agents. Ofgem said the size of the fine reflected Scottish Power's cooperation during the investigation. \"Ofgem's investigation found no evidence of a strategy by Scottish Power to deliberately mis-sell to customers,\" the energy regulator said in a statement. Scottish Power said it would write to the 336,000 people who could have been affected and could be in line for compensation. \"We accept Ofgem's findings and we apologize unreservedly to those customers affected,\" said Neil Clitheroe, of Scottish Power. \"This arose as a result of new regulations which were introduced in 2009. I am sorry to say that we didn't implement these properly at that time. \"However, I am pleased that Ofgem has made it clear that they found no evidence of a strategy by Scottish Power to deliberately mis-sell to customers. \"Since 2011 we have taken determined steps to resolve the problem: doorstep selling was stopped; and all telephone sales staff are properly trained and monitored.\" Scottish Power is not the only energy supplier to have been in trouble with the regulator over doorstep selling. In April, Ofgem said that SSE was guilty of management failures that led to \"prolonged and extensive\" mis-selling through telephone, in-store and doorstep sales. The regulator handed down a record £10.5m fine. Two other investigations - into Npower and E.On, are ongoing. Energy companies no longer sell energy door-to-door, a change that has reduced the number of people switching suppliers in recent times, figures show. New rules Also on Tuesday, new rules from Ofgem came into force preventing energy firms from increasing prices during fixed-term contracts. Firms are also banned from automatically rolling customers on to another fixed-term offer when their current one ends. Ofgem says the changes are aimed at ensuring customers get the best energy deal for them. \"Ofgem is going to make it easier for consumers to 'vote with their feet'\", said Ofgem chief executive Andrew Wright. The rules are part of a series of reforms, relating to new standards of conduct for energy firms. \"Our reforms seek to give consumers the tools they need to find the best energy deal for them,\" added Mr Wright.

Social workers want to ensure any changes do not discourage vulnerable people from accessing services. But ministers said many trafficking cases currently go unreported. They said information collected through the proposed notification scheme would provide a more accurate picture of the scale and extent of trafficking in Scotland, and enable more effective targeting of enforcement activity and support services. It would identify and support victims, identify perpetrators and disrupt their activity, as well as addressing conditions that foster trafficking and exploitation. Hidden crime Launching the consultation, Justice Secretary Humza Yousaf said: \"Human trafficking is a hidden and often complex crime meaning the true scale of the problem is unknown. \"Victims may be reluctant to acknowledge their own situation for reasons including fear of their traffickers, distrust in the authorities and a lack of awareness that there are agencies that can support them to safety and recovery. \"These plans will create a statutory duty on Scottish public authorities to ensure that the information obtained by Police Scotland is publicly available. This intelligence will ultimately help us to protect and support more vulnerable people.\" Currently the only available data on the numbers of trafficking victims in Scotland is taken from the UK National Referral Mechanism (NRM) - a framework for identifying potential victims of trafficking and ensuring they receive appropriate support and assistance. For those victims who do not consent to enter the NRM, no data is recorded. Since the NRM's introduction, recorded numbers of victims have increased across the UK. In Scotland there has been a 130% increase in referrals to the NRM in the last six reported years. In September 2018 a pilot scheme began at Glasgow Airport involving Border Force and Police Scotland's National Human Trafficking Unit (NHTU) which resulted in 40 referrals to the unit in its first nine months. The Scottish government has published some examples of the way public bodies are already co-operating with police to tackle human trafficking. They include the actions of firefighters called to an address in Glasgow where a 17-year-old female had jumped out of window of a locked bedroom, suffering a lower fractured spine, fractured pelvis and broken elbow. They informed police, who began an investigation which revealed the woman had been sexually exploited in China and in the UK. She has been supported by social workers. 'Hostile environment' Assistant Chief Constable Gillian MacDonald welcomed the proposal to increase the amount of information police receive. She said: \"The introduction of a 'duty to notify' is a positive step which will help us work with other public services to further develop our collective approach to protecting survivors. \"It will also assist in helping victims to escape the clutches of traffickers, as we work to make Scotland a hostile environment for this type of inhumane criminality.\" Apart from public authorities, such as the Scottish Ambulance Service and the national fire and rescue service, the new scheme could also include NHS boards. Malcolm Wright, Chief Executive of NHS Scotland, said: \"Victims of human trafficking may be deeply traumatised and distrustful of authorities which may affect their ability to seek help, support and treatment for any injuries they have sustained as a result of their situation. \"All clinical and non-clinical staff across the NHS in Scotland can play a pivotal role in identifying potential victims of human trafficking and exploitation that may otherwise go unnoticed or remain invisible.\" Council staff Scotland's 32 local authorities, including their social work departments could also be included in the \"duty to notify\" scheme. The national director of the Scottish Association of Social Workers (SASW), Alistair Brown gave a broad welcome to the proposals. He said: \"We are glad to see that compared to other mandatory reporting proposals it seems the burden does not fall disproportionately on social workers, which is essential as stopping these criminal gangs is everybody's business. \"It is important to highlight, that as there has been minimal consultation thus far we are keen to ensure that following feedback, members do not feel that these plans discourage the most vulnerable people from accessing our services. \"In addition, it is essential that any new reporting methods be modern, streamlined and efficient as possible, for our own research shows that our members are already doing an average of 11 hours unpaid work per week.\"",

            "input": "Dominic CascianiHome affairs correspondent@BBCDomCon Twitter The estimate comes from an analysis of a policy that bars the UK entry of a non-EU parent if their British spouse earns less than £18,600 a year. Children's commissioner Anne Longfield said the UK was creating \"Skype families\" who had been forced apart. The Home Office says the rules are lawful and compatible with rights. Since 2012, immigration rules have barred the entry of spouses from outside the European Union unless their British partner meets the minimum income threshold. 'Profound impact' The level rises to £22,400 if a child is not a British or European Economic Area (EEA) citizen, with an additional levy of £2,400 for each subsequent child. The rules were created as part of the then-coalition government's attempts to control immigration from outside Europe, with ministers arguing they would ensure no incoming families would be a burden on the UK taxpayer. In a study, researchers from Middlesex University and the Joint Council for the Welfare of Immigrants estimated the number of children affected by examining the number of people who have been refused visas or permission to settle since the changes were introduced. There are no official numbers for the number of children affected. Ms Longfield said the policy had created families in which children could speak to one of their parents only online - leading to suffering and distress. \"We are not talking about having unrestricted access but we need to put the heart back into this policy and consider the profound impact the rules have on this group of British children and their families,\" she said. Legal challenges Last year the Court of Appeal said the rules were lawful, despite a challenge arguing that they breached the right to family life and duties to protect the best interests of children. However, the issue is expected to be examined by the Supreme Court next year. The Home Office said: \"We welcome those who wish to make a life in the UK with their family, work hard and make a contribution. But family life must not be established here at the taxpayer's expense. \"The level of the minimum income threshold reflects the income at which a British family generally ceases to be able to access income-related benefits. \"The policy has been approved by Parliament, and upheld by the courts as lawful and compliant with our legal duty to safeguard and promote child welfare.\" But the campaign group Migrants' Rights Network said: \"The impression given by the Home Office is that the matter is settled in the courts, but that is far from being the case. \"The Home Office has failed to show that this policy does in fact save the taxpayer any money. \"In reality many people are unable to move abroad, and families who are forced to remain apart are even more likely to need assistance than if both partners are able to work and look after the children in the UK.\"",

            "input": "The RAC Foundation says the number rose by almost a fifth in a year and was far above levels of a decade ago. Motorists face charges of as much as £100 for contraventions such as overstaying, it said. The government is backing a bill to introduce a new code of practice for the private parking industry. The motoring research group said the number of tickets issued in the 2017-18 financial year rose from 4.71m - a year-on-year increase of nearly 20%. A decade ago 499,000 tickets were issued. RAC Foundation director Steve Gooding said: \"Each year we publish this analysis and each year we are not only astonished by the numbers involved, but also by the fact that those numbers keep rocketing up. \"Pursuing so many people must be a major administrative task for the companies involved, but the questions the numbers really beg are what's going wrong? Are Britain's motorists really flouting the rules on such an industrial scale?\" Case study: From £5.50 to £170 When Timothy Sheppard arrived at Lingfield Station car park in Surrey on 28 December last year, he found that the parking ticket machines were out of order. In a rush to catch the train to London, the retired advertising executive said he asked a staff member inside the train station what to do. \"He told me 'it's not ours, we don't operate it' but said 'if you want to catch your train, you can sort it out when you get back',\" says Mr Sheppard. He planned to find a way to pay the £5.50 car parking ticket on his return. Instead, however, he found a penalty notice for £60 from a company called Indigo Park Solutions which operates the Lingfield Station car park on behalf of Southern Railway. Mr Sheppard, 76, said he wrote to Indigo Park Solutions to explain that he had been unable to buy a ticket because all the machines were not working and enclosed a payment of £5.50. Despite having proof of purchase from Royal Mail, Indigo Park Solutions said it had not received the letter. In the meantime, it had turned the matter over to a debt collecting agency. Mr Sheppard attempted to dispute the parking penalty with the British Parking Association. However, to use that service, the driver must first show that he appealed to the operator - in this case Indigo Park Solutions - within 28 days of the date of the original charge. Because Indigo Park Solutions claimed it had not received Mr Sheppard's letter, the dispute could not proceed. Mr Sheppard now says that a debt collector acting on behalf of Indigo Park Solutions is seeking £170 - £100 of which is the penalty charge and £70 for \"administration\". However, after months of anxiety, the situation is now being resolved, Indigo say. A spokesman said the fine was cancelled on 18 April following a review of the details with GTR, the train company. The RAC based its figures on the number of vehicle-owner records purchased by car parking management companies from the DVLA in the last financial year. These businesses are only allowed to purchase car ownership records from the DVLA for the purpose of issuing penalties, said the RAC. Mr Gooding said the total could be even higher as \"some firms will simply slap a demand on to a windscreen\". According to the data, ParkingEye Ltd, which is a car park management company owned by the outsourcing group Capita, was the biggest buyer of car ownership records from the DVLA last year. It purchased 1.76m records compared to 1.53m in the previous financial year. It is followed by Euro Car Park, which manages private parking spaces across the UK, Ireland and Europe, which bought access to 406,323 records compared to 306,857 in the previous period. The RAC said that numbers have increased since clamping cars on private land was banned in 2012 under the Protection of Freedoms Act. The act allowed private parking companies to pursue the registered owner of the vehicle rather than having to prove who the driver was at the time of the offence. The government is supporting a bill by Conservative MP Sir Greg Knight to introduce legislation to regulate the private parking industry. Failing to comply with these rules could mean that companies would be blocked from accessing driver data from the DVLA and issuing fines which, the Ministry of Housing and Local Communities said, would effectively force them out of the industry. A spokesperson for ParkingEye said: \"ParkingEye continues to be a member of the British Parking Association and follows its strict code of practice in all the car parks we manage on behalf of our clients. \"We welcome any additional government legislation that aims to drive consistency and improve processes across the entire private parking sector.\"",

            "input": "By Nick HighamBBC News The only place that taught the language was the School of Oriental and African Studies, now known as SOAS, part of the University of London. So an 18-month course was devised there for bright sixth-formers with a flair for languages. They were called The Dulwich Boys, and many of them went on to be key players in the post-war relationship between Britain and Japan. The school's Japanese-teaching facilities when war broke out were rudimentary. \"Japanese was taught here,\" says Prof Ian Brown, who is writing a history of SOAS. \"There were two teachers at the end of the 1930s. But classes for Japanese - classes for everything frankly - were rather small.\" The truth was that learning exotic languages was not a priority for imperial Britain in the 1930s. \"British investment in Japan was small, and there was no Japanese investment in Britain,\" says Sir Hugh Cortazzi, who learned his Japanese at SOAS and became Britain's ambassador to Tokyo in the 1980s. \"And, of course, Japan had been cutting itself off from the West. But I think there was also an element of arrogance on the part of the British.\" The shortage of Japanese speakers in 1942 was exacerbated by the disastrous start of Britain's war with Japan. Within weeks of the surprise attack on the US Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor, which brought the US into the war, the Japanese had launched a successful invasion of Malaya, a British colony, and Britain's huge military base in Singapore had fallen. Most of the few who had learnt Japanese at SOAS had, not surprisingly, taken jobs in East Asia. And with the fall of Singapore most had become prisoners of war. So a desperate War Office decided to advertise scholarships for 18-month intensive courses for sixth-formers in Japanese, Chinese, Turkish and Persian (for who knew where the war might spread to next), to start in May 1942. One of those who successfully applied was Guy de Moubray, who died in June at the age of 90. He'd been born in Malaya, where his parents were still living, and was at Loretto School near Edinburgh. \"My parents became prisoners of war in February 1942 and it was around then that I put in for this scholarship exam,\" he said in an interview recorded by SOAS, \"partly because of my parents, but partly because I wanted to get away from school a year earlier than I otherwise would have done.\" De Moubray was one of 30 boys studying Japanese. They were put up at Dulwich College in south London in two of the boarding houses. Each day he and the other \"Dulwich Boys\" commuted by train to Victoria, and then by bus (if they could afford it) or on foot to SOAS which was based temporarily above St James's underground station, though it seems to have moved to its present home in Bloomsbury during the Dulwich Boys' course. They were a mixed bunch. Sandy Wilson was one, though he soon dropped out - in the 1950s he became famous as the composer of the hit musical, The Boyfriend. \"He never took it seriously, he was already writing songs,\" remembers a contemporary. Peter Parker, who later became chairman of British Rail was another - the boys elected him their prefect. Some on the course thought him dynamic, a born leader - others found him hard to take. \"Sanctimonious and self-important\" was one verdict. Ronald Dore, another Dulwich Boy, remembers that the group divided naturally into two - the public school types stuck together, and so did the lower middle-class products of grammar schools (of which Dore was one). He thought it a reflection of how class-ridden 1940s Britain was. Dore, now aged 90, was also one of at least four boys on the language courses who later became professors at SOAS. This sudden influx of bright, highly-motivated and state-funded students provided SOAS with an important shot in the arm which was vital to the school's post-war expansion. But in 1942 the biggest problem was a desperate shortage of teachers. Only one of the two pre-war course staff, Saburo Yoshitake, was still in post and he soon left. \"The head of the department and the main teacher was a man called Frank Daniels,\" Dore remembers. \"He was a clerk in the Admiralty and had been posted to Japan, and there he very assiduously started learning Japanese and acquired a Japanese wife.\" Otome Daniels - whom the boys thought very beautiful - also taught on the course. She and her husband had been in Japan when war broke out, but had returned to Britain following a rare prisoner of war swap. Two second-generation Japanese sergeants in the Canadian army helped out. So did Britain's former military attache in Tokyo, General Sir Francis Piggott, who one boy remembered \"was almost evangelical in teaching us the titles of the whole hierarchy of the Japanese General Staff\". And there were also instructors with even less orthodox backgrounds. \"People who had settled down in Soho as manufacturers of lampshades... and they spoke rather less than high-class Japanese,\" Dore says. And there were a number of Japanese men who had been released from internment. Two of them were correspondents for Japanese newspapers and news agencies. The shortage of teachers was so acute that Ron Dore, after completing his course, soon found himself back on the staff at SOAS. He had been called up into the army, but injured himself during basic training and was invalided out. Among his pupils was Hugh Cortazzi, then an RAF aircraftsman second class who had signed up for a six-month crash course for servicemen. There were two service courses. Learning both to speak and read Japanese in such a short time was thought too difficult. So the servicemen trained either as interpreters, who needed to know only the spoken language, or translators, who could read it but not speak it. In due course the Dulwich Boys themselves were called up. But their first attempts at putting what they had learnt to use weren't always successful. Guy de Moubray was sent to the frontline in Burma to eavesdrop on Japanese military broadcasts. \"Every time we got to the new front line, one of us had to climb a teak tree to put the aerial up as high as we could,\" he recalled, \"hoping to receive Japanese regimental radio. Unfortunately, though we tried for over two months, we were never successful.\" The teak forest, he suspects, was just too thick for radio signals to penetrate. Later, he was the first British soldier ashore when Singapore was liberated. There he found his parents, whom he hadn't seen since he was 14, still alive after three years of Japanese captivity. The Dulwich Boys' real impact came after the war. \"Without these young men there would be no UK-Japan relationship,\" says Dr Christopher Gerteis, the current chair of the Japan research centre at SOAS. \"Or if there were it would have rested on the shoulders of an aristocratic class like that of the 1930s. These are the professional statesmen, this is the generation that built the United Nations, that built post-cold war frameworks, that eventually led to the creation of a very strong liberal democracy in post-war Japan.\" Hugh Cortazzi, now aged 91, plays down the impact of the SOAS wartime graduates on Japan's post-war rebuilding. \"The British participation in the occupation was really limited,\" he says. \"We had no role in respect to military government, that was entirely in the hands of the Americans.\" But his own career is evidence that the Dulwich Boys and their contemporaries at SOAS did become key figures in Anglo-Japanese relations. Some, like Cortazzi, became diplomats. Several, like Ron Dore, became academic experts on Japan. And then there was Sir Peter Parker. After resigning from British Rail, Parker became a director of Mitsubishi. In the 1980s he chaired an inquiry for the government into the teaching at universities of \"difficult\" languages - a professorship of Japanese at Cambridge was one indirect result. The Japanese liked him, according to Cortazzi. \"I think they respected Peter. He had great personal charm, he was interested in Japanese culture, he would always be repeating a haiku at every possible occasion. And when we were working for the establishment of a Japan festival in Britain in 1991 we were clear that the only person who could really be chair of it was Peter Parker.\" The irony, perhaps, is that it took a war, and a bunch of clever schoolboys, to bring about such a remarkable improvement in Britain's understanding of and relations with Japan.

            "input": "By Emma JonesEntertainment reporter A three-time Oscar nominee, Malick is famous for his multiple narrations and stream of consciousness film-making, as well as his improvisations on set - so much so that Sean Penn, one of the stars of Malick's 2011 film Tree of Life, confessed he had never been quite sure what he was doing. However, Rick's crisis, and the women he's loved, are as much as Bale got in terms of a script, as according to the actor, \"the nice thing about Terry is that he doesn't tell you what it's about, really\". Bale, the star of the Dark Knight franchise, as well as earning his own third Oscar nomination this year for financial drama The Big Short, worked with Malick a decade ago on the film The New World, and says they had discussed doing this project for some time. \"I think he had a 10-year period of gestating this character,\" he says. \"But I wasn't given a conventional script. I worked on the character a great deal, worked out his back story. \"I never had lines to learn, but I would see other actors on set and sometimes they had pages of notes, and I'd try and sneak a look at them. \"Terry calls it 'torpedoing' the protagonist. What would happen is that other actors and even non-actors in the film would know to present me with different scenarios and I would just give a real response, based on knowledge of the character. \"I had no nerves about improvisation at all. Terry has this motto: 'Start before we're ready and see what happens.' We just discovered what was going on as the film developed.\" Knight of Cups was made over a few weeks in Los Angeles in 2012, and Natalie Portman, who has a small part in the film, says that she felt \"blessed\" to have collaborated with Malick before directing her own first film last year, A Tale of Love and Darkness. \"Terry just tears up the rules of film-making and throws them away,\" she says. \"He allows you to make mistakes, and what most directors would see as a problem, he just embraces the opportunity. There was no sense of executing a script at all.\" \"Knight of Cups\" refers to a parable of a young prince on a quest to find a pearl - but is given a sleeping draught by his subjects, and \"forgot that he was the son of a king, forgot about the pearl, and fell into a deep sleep\". The film shows, with a dreamlike quality, an endless round of Hollywood meetings and parties, including one over-the-top lavish affair hosted by Antonio Banderas, making a cameo appearance. Rick appears to be sleepwalking through the experience. Bale refers to \"a spiritual sense of sleeping\" in the film, but doesn't believe it only applies to the entertainment industry. \"In the goldfish bowl of Los Angeles, that kind of emptiness is all too obvious,\" he observes. \"But I don't think it's any different from any other walk of life. \"It refers to anyone who's seen all the acclaim, knows all the right people, has all the right party invitations - but they can still have a great void within themselves.\" The actor says he himself is \"lucky and fortunate in my family\", but in the past has spoken out about the pressures of becoming a child star so young - he was a teenager when his first film, Empire of the Sun, was released in 1987. \"You can reach a peak, the top of the mountain,\" he says. \"You realise when you're living it, it's not as you imagined. That's what the film explores and I think a lot of people can relate to that. \"There may have been an awful lot of laughs along the way, but there's still a silence when you are left by yourself, wondering, 'is that it?' There's a cycle of good times, but never anything truly joyous at the end. It's not satisfaction or wholeness.\" After starring as Moses in Ridley Scott's 2014 biblical epic, Exodus: Gods and Kings, Bale says he relates to Malick's \"broader brush of spirituality - one with less doctrine, less organisation, something that's innate to every single person and that doesn't need to be taught. \"This story is very much about the search for something the character has within himself all along but he's somehow missed and neglected. He's on a quest for something, but he's not sure what it is, even though the world would say, 'you've achieved'.\" The film's reclusive director, who rarely gives interviews, continues to attract star names to his projects - he has previously worked with Ben Affleck, Brad Pitt and Jessica Chastain, and both Bale and Portman have since worked with Malick on the forthcoming Weightless. Bale thinks it's \"the guerrilla style of film-making that keeps attracting me to him [Malick],\" describing how he would stop to record a narration for Knight of Cups \"just on the side of the road, sitting in my pick up truck, just doing it as we went along\". \"Sometimes he would just hand me a go-pro camera and say 'go into the ocean and shoot a scene' and at the end of the day I would give all the footage back to Terry, and perhaps it would end up in the film. And perhaps it wouldn't. \"Ultimately nobody else is doing what he is doing and has his experience. The sense of trust we all have in him is overwhelming.\" Knight of Cups is released in the UK on 6 May.",

Glasgow Sheriff Court heard he then sent explicit pictures and made arrangements to meet up. But the person Sutherland was talking to was Paul Devine, part of group called Groom Resistance Scotland. Glasgow Sheriff Court heard another two members of the organisation turned up at Partick Bus Station on 31 January this year to meet Sutherland and stayed with him until police arrived. Sutherland was unanimously convicted of two charges under the Sexual Offences Act between 18 and 31 January, including going to meet who he believed to be a 13-year-old with the intention of engaging in \"unlawful sexual activity\". In evidence Mr Devine told how a fake profile was created as \"bait\" to draw in others. WhatsApp messages He said he spoke to Sutherland, who has a similar previous conviction, on Grindr. They then swapped numbers and texted using WhatsApp. Messages exchanged between Mr Devine, as the teenager, and Sutherland were shown to the jury. In one of the earliest exchanges Mr Devine messaged Sutherland: \"I'm only 13\". But the court heard Sutherland then sent an explicit photograph and asked: \"you like?\". He also asked the child to send him a picture but Mr Devine replied that his camera was smashed and was not working. After he was again told the boy's age, Sutherland asked: \"Would you like to meet up some time?\". Procurator fiscal depute Mark Allan asked: \"That's a direct question to you, posing as a 13-year-old?\" Mr Devine replied: \"Yes.\" A further naked picture with Sutherland covering himself with one hand and taking a picture of himself in a mirror with the other hand was sent, and an image of his face. The messages moved to WhatsApp after the pair exchanged numbers. Sutherland sent a warning saying \"remember to delete the chat\" and \"don't let anyone see my number\". Previous conviction He also volunteered to send a video of himself carrying out a sex act to the \"child\". Before they agreed to meet at Partick Bus Station, further vulgar messages were sent by Sutherland. In his speech to the jury Mr Allan said: \"He offered to, who he believed to be the child, what you may think a menu of acts from which to choose and made it abundantly clear his intention was to involve what he believed was a 13-year-old.\" Sheriff Martin Jones QC deferred sentence until next month and remanded Sutherland in custody. He told him: \"You can expect a lengthy custodial sentence\". In November 2015 Sutherland was jailed for 21 months after he sent a 12-year-old explicit pictures and inappropriate messages two years earlier.

We call them vox pops in the trade, from the Latin \"vox populi\" which means voice of the people - one question asked of randomly picked people in the street. Normally on TV they are short and to the point. But such was the eloquence and strongly-held beliefs I found in Mansfield, they are worth hearing at length because they sum up what people think of politics and the country right now. The first person in his mobility scooter bemoaned the number of homeless people on the streets, particularly ex-servicemen. This is what he said, though, about Theresa May: \"She needs a chance. \"But making false promises isn't going to get us out of the situation that we are in.\" Patience required Next, the 75-year-old ex-miner, still working as a gardener. Proud he had worked, so far, for 60 years and not intending to retire. \"She's great and I've always been a Labour man,\" he said. \"But this woman makes sense. I'm sure she's going to do a good job for us and we've got to be patient and I'm sure at the end of the day we'll be all better off. \"She's got that know-how look. I'm sure she means what she says and she's going to do it and she's got a good group of people around her.\" Next the man in the street who takes the anti-immigration line. He said: \"I think she should do what she says and do it for the working class, which is curtailing foreigners from coming into this country. \"I've worked hard all my life and these foreigners are coming in and using our system and they're not paying for it.\" \"I think this town needs a change... it needs more money putting into it.\" 'Quite optimistic' In the market place, stall holders were reluctant to talk. Not on camera anyway. There was concern at the Brexit vote, the falling pound putting up the cost of what they sell from the EU threatens their future. The next to speak was a woman who was surprised to find herself supporting the Prime Minister's words. \"I was a bit sceptical about her to start with but what she's saying is making a lot of sense,\" she said. \"But whether she puts it into practice... I'm quite optimistic. As I say, I was very sceptical to start with because I'm not a Conservative person.\" Finally, although we did speak to more, the disillusioned man who speaks for many too, on politics, Brexit, and even the voting system. All in response to the same question about his thoughts on Theresa May's speech appealing to ordinary working class people. \"I'm more leaning towards Socialism than Conservatism,\" he said. \"Politics is in a worst state than it's ever been. \"I've never been so disappointed as I am at the moment with the political situation. Every party. \"The Brexit thing was very disappointing. You've got a decision which just over half the country wanted so you've got a divided nation there. \"I'm very proud to be British but in reality I've never felt so down with politics as I do at the moment.\" Lots for politicians need to take heed of here. Words and promises are powerful but what is delivered in the end is what will decide which way people vote. Domestic policies are one thing, the government can control that. It can decide where to invest to help the economy as it steps towards to the centre and at the same time to the right on immigration. We, as a nation, may have voted to seize control with the referendum result on 23 June but it may be hard to control the effects of Brexit on the economy. What will the people of Mansfield think then?",

Naya played cheerleader Santana Lopez, who discovered she was a lesbian when she fell for her best friend, Brittany. Her body was recovered from a lake in California after going missing last week while on a day out with her son. Young LGBT women have been speaking to Radio 1 Newsbeat about the impact Santana and her storylines had on them as they watched the show in their early teens. \"I was 12 or 13, I was so young and I was thinking these things. I was so terrified to say them or ever act on them,\" 21-year-old Claire Rowden, who's bisexual, says. \"It was just a little knock on the door being like, 'hey, it's OK, what you're feeling is real, and it's special. It's not something to feel ashamed or uncomfortable about'.\" She describes Naya's performance as the gay cheerleader as \"a breath of fresh air\" at a time in her life when she was feeling \"suffocated\" coming to terms with her own sexuality. \"That's why representation is so deeply important,\" she says. \"That representation meant the absolute world to me, because I was looking at her not as Naya. I was looking at her as Santana.\" Naya wasn't gay, but spoke about her pride at portraying a lesbian in the show. Now, casting straight actors in LGBT roles is frowned upon. Naya's Glee cast-mate Darren Criss promised in 2018 that he wouldn't play gay characters again. \"At the time there wasn't really anything at all on TV, especially queer women,\" says Imogen Davis, who's 25 and gay. \"I never saw any lesbian characters really on TV that weren't the butt of the joke, or where they weren't some sort of home-wrecker or something negative. \"I don't think for the time that casting a straight actress was bad. I think it did more good than it did bad.\" Imogen's a musician now, and not only did Glee help her understand her sexuality, it also gave her the confidence to go into music. After all, Glee was loved (and mocked) most for its songs. \"Santana not only showed me it was OK to go down that route of being a creative as a career, but to be gay and be open about who I am and do that at the same time,\" Imogen says. \"I have no idea where I'd be or what career I'd be doing or who I'd be if it wasn't for the show.\" She says watching Santana \"thrive and have respect\" was what showed her it was \"OK to be gay and be myself.\" 'Flawed characters' As any Glee fan will remember, Santana wasn't exactly a hero on the show. At times she could be rude and insulting to other Glee club members, especially in early series of the show. \"She wasn't a perfect character,\" says Ellen Jones, who's 21 and gay. \"So often when we see minorities on screen, the representation we have, they have to be perfect. \"These are all flawed characters, but, people are flawed. And so it was a way of being like, yes, you can just exist.\" Ellen says that she would probably feel differently about casting a heterosexual actress in a role like that now, but at the time, \"it was enough for me to just see a LGBT character on screen.\" Santana's impact on people like Claire, Imogen and Ellen is just one of the reasons the actress's death has been hard for a lot of people. \"You think that the people who were important to you growing up - and she was only a little bit older than me - will always be around and they will always be existing, thriving and living their lives,\" adds Ellen. \"But that's not always the case.\" Follow Newsbeat on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.

            "input": "The lure of the big cities When it comes to the big numbers, it's the cities that are really driving up the stats. London attracted 64 million visitors so it's little wonder it boasts the UK's top 10 visitor attractions in terms of numbers. But the 11th and 12th slots were both in Edinburgh, with the National Museum of Scotland and Edinburgh Castle for the first time chalking up more than two million visits apiece in 2017. According to Bernard Donoghue, director of the Association of Leading Visitor Attractions, people have long wanted to come here, but new air routes and the fall in the value of sterling are helping. \"The UK and Scotland in particular is an aspirational destination,\" he says \"It's on practically everybody's shopping list - they want to come here at some point. New air routes and Scotland becoming more affordable has made that more of an opportunity.\" He also believes Scotland is reaping the dividends of years of investment in major attractions. \"The National Museum of Scotland, for example. For the first time in a number of years, all of its galleries were open after years of refurbishment. That meant it was able to present itself to the world afresh,\" he said. Glasgow's much-loved Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum and the spectacular Riverside transport museum which opened in 2011 each welcomed more than 1.3 million people through their doors last year But smaller, privately-run attractions in the major cities also benefited. Mary King's Close - \"a warren of hidden streets frozen in time\" in Edinburgh - saw its numbers rise 9% to more than 245,000. This autumn sees the opening of the new V&A Dundee, certain to become another \"must-see destination\" for many travellers. The Outlander effect The tourism sector has long been savvy to how a big TV or cinema hit can draw in visitors - and Scotland is cashing in on the success of Outlander. The adventures of a 1940s nurse, transported back in time to the Jacobite rebellions in the Highlands, has captured the imaginations of millions of fans worldwide. There's no shortage of small tour operators ready to guide them around filming locations or sites steeped in the history of the period. The Glenfinnan Monument to the fallen Jacobite clansmen saw a 58% increase in visitor numbers last year, reaching nearly 400,000. Nearby is another film tourism opportunity - the Glenfinnan Viaduct, made famous by the Hogwarts Express in the Harry Potter films. \"Historic Environment Scotland have seen a really significant increase in some of their properties - castles which ordinarily are popular but not visited by thousands of people. Because of the success of Outlander, for example, they've seen a real boost in film tourism,\" said Bernard Donaghue. 'Scotland's Route 66' A decade ago it was a relatively well-kept secret - a circular route, often on single-track roads, through breathtaking scenery in the far north of Scotland. But no more. Now known as the North Coast 500, it has been cleverly marketed as one of the world's great road trips. The roads are busier now. Supercars, camper vans and tourist buses are a common sight, creating a bonanza for businesses along the route. In the first year after its launch in 2015, one study estimated the NC500 attracted an extra 29,000 visitors to the region, generating £9m in revenue. \"Things like the North Coast 500 are fantastic at getting people to move away from the central belt and explore parts of Scotland they might not have previously considered,\" says Bernard Donaghue. And where do the drivers go when you need to stop and stretch their legs? Inverewe Garden in Wester Ross, perhaps, where the numbers of people stopping to enjoy its ancient trees and exotic plants jumped by an impressive 110% in 2017. Getting the message out Tourism can be vulnerable to international events - 2016 was a difficult year with terrorist attacks in France and Belgium thought to have been behind a big drop in visitors coming from Europe. The national tourism organisation VisitScotland was determined that when numbers picked up, Scotland was high on the list of priorities. VisitScotland's tourism insight manager Chris Greenwood says the 2017 focus was on history, heritage and archaeology \"When visitors think about Scotland, they think about landscape, they think about heritage and culture,\" he explained. \"And they think about the people, the warmth of welcome. \"This is backed up through the media, if you think about films and television programmes about Scotland, Outlander for example. With this theme there was a consistent marketing of heritage and attractions and also the history as well. There was a strong product presentation that was very appealing to visitors.\" Last year saw a new global marketing campaign, seeking to capitalise on emerging markets. Golf and whisky have long been major elements of Scotland the brand - but the message is broader than that. \"In some parts, potential visitors have that view of iconic brands - tartan, golf whisky - those brands they associate with Scottish heritage. But there are also a lot of people who see contemporary Scotland, who see shopping opportunities in Glasgow or adventure activities in Fort William,\" explained Chris. \"What I see is a unity within the tourism sector in Scotland, coming together and understanding what the visitor needs - and being nimble, agile and able to adapt to that - and that is what is going to keep Scotland competitive into the future.\"",

            "input": "By Emma Jane KirbyBBC News In an insipid Indian restaurant in the outskirts of Paris, Kassim Bakari tells me the brutal story of the worst day of his life. On 30 June 2009, a Yemenia Airways flight, en route to his homeland of the Comoros islands, nosedived out of the sky and crashed into the Indian Ocean. There were 153 passengers on board including his wife and teenage daughter, Bahia. Everybody bar one was killed. Nine hours after the crash, 13-year-old Bahia, bruised and burnt, was found alive, clinging to a piece of fuselage. \"It was a total nightmare. I lost my children's mother,\" he said. \"Yet at the same time I had this joy that it was my daughter who was the sole passenger to survive. \"When I saw Bahia in hospital… I saw this little girl who just looked at her father and who said nothing. \"After everything she'd suffered, she could tell me absolutely nothing about what she'd gone through.\" Twenty months on, little is still known about the crash. A preliminary report published recently is full of accusations and contradictions. There have been angry demonstrations by Comorian families demanding to know the truth. Under the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) rules, it generally falls to the country where the plane crash happened to lead the investigation. 'Flying dustbins' However, investigating a major air disaster requires a wealth of technical expertise, and for a tiny country like the Comoros Islands, the demands can be overwhelming. When I wrote to the Comorian civil aviation authority, my e-mail came back marked \"mailbox full\". But it is not just a lack of resources preventing Bahia and her father from knowing the truth - they also seem to be caught up in a political row. Prior to the crash, questions had already been raised about the carrier's safety practices. The French transport minister had called the Yemenia fleet \"flying dustbins\", prompting fury from his Yemeni counterpart. A month after the crash, the black boxes from the aircraft were recovered. Analysis by the French aviation investigation bureau and investigators from the US led them to conclude that pilot error had caused the accident. But Yemen and its airline rejected the findings and have demanded a third reading in Egypt. David Gleave, an independent British investigator, fears politics often get in the way of air accident investigations. \"I would say most investigators are very interested in what the truth is, but then the politics comes into it,\" he said. \"It's not unknown to have the lead investigator replaced if the answer is not going in the correct direction that the minister may wish the investigation to go in. \"If the minister of transport is also the minister representing the airline, he may wish to say, 'Well I would lose public confidence if it was a pilot error, if it was a missile attack then we can blame it on somebody else,' and so you maintain confidence in the airline at that point.\" I understand the lead Comorian investigator, who sided with the French findings, has now been replaced. 'Political sensitivities' It is not just investigators who acknowledge politics can sometimes get in the way of investigations. \"Political interference is a disaster,\" says EU Transport Commissioner Siim Kallas. \"Air accident investigations must be a dry, technical investigation and there should be no political interference and no - how can I say? - little adjustment of small details which have political sensitivities.\" I asked him if he thought political tampering with crash reports could cloud the truth about accidents. He was emphatic in his answer: \"Obviously it can happen, yes.\" When Jacqueline Mitchell's son Anthony died in a Kenya Airways crash in Cameroon in 2007, she was horrified at the way the investigation was handled by the Cameroonian authorities. The black boxes were recovered but, as she saw for herself when she visited the crash site, the plane fuselage was simply left to rot in the swamp and was looted by locals. \"There was no security at all [at the crash site] apart from these soldiers, but they didn't know we were family,\" she said. \"Anyone could have gone in there and taken anything. I did see one man walking off with a piece of plane.\" 'Human error' Doug Herlihy, one of the independent crash investigators at the Cameroon site, says vital evidence was lost because key parts of the plane were pillaged. \"One can't put every piece back together… but if one was in charge in more of an objective role they would have put critical parts back together, they would investigate critical parts that led to that loss of control in flight,\" he said. The investigation report, when it emerged three years later, blamed pilot error. In fact today, \"human error\" is the principal cause of most air accidents. But with the pilots dead and unable to answer back, former British Airways pilot Terry Tozer, who is currently writing a book on flight safety, believes it is a rather over-used conclusion. \"To say just 'pilot error' is a huge simplicity and very convenient if you'd rather no-one looked any more widely into the issue,\" he said. \"It's not very convenient for an airline management to confront the fact that their pilots might have had very little training, or might have been worked to the point of exhaustion, or they might have put a crew together where both crew members had very limited experience on that type of aircraft.\" The EU has promised to continue pushing for greater transparency, while the ICAO insists it is monitoring member states more closely. But Kassim Bakari is becoming cynical about ever finding out what really happened. Is he right? With so many political pressures being placed on investigations, do they ever really give us the truth about why a plane crashes? I put the question to Doug Herlihy, who offered this chilling response: \"Likely we do in some… but in many of the high-profile accidents we certainly don't find out.\" File on 4 is on BBC Radio 4 on Tuesday 5 April at 2000 BST and Sunday 10 April at 1700 BST.

He said it was a tricky problem that the council only had limited resources to address. \"Some buildings, even commercial ones, have no access to the roof which gives these birds a free reign up there,\" he said. \"They can get really aggressive in the summer when they're laying their eggs.\" The study looked at 38 different seagull colonies across the Severn Estuary region of south Wales and the west of England. The RSPB, the report's author and Cardiff council all say they welcomed any further research into why the bird population is increasing. Seagulls have also been identified as a problem in other areas of Wales. In Rhyl, The White Rose shopping centre installed wires above its car park to deter more than 1,000 seagulls earlier this year.

The unions have rejected a pay offer of 1% which they say represents a 13% pay cut in real terms since 2008. The employers maintain the offer is a good outcome for staff. The unions say they are willing to meet for last minute talks but say they are not optimistic \"as the employers had so far refused to engage in talks aimed at resolving the dispute\". 'Widespread anger' Michael MacNeil, head of higher education at UCU, said: \"There is widespread anger over the pay cuts staff have had to endure in recent years and all the reports we are getting suggest that Thursday's strike will be very well supported. \"We are amazed the employers are still refusing to sit down with us to try and resolve this without any need for disruption. There are precious few hours left now, but our offer of talks remains open.\" Unison's head of higher education Jon Richards accused university management of \"sitting on record surpluses, splashing out on senior management pay but refusing to give a decent wage to the staff who have made UK universities some of the best in the world\". The Universities and Colleges Employers Association (UCEA), which represents the universities as employers, has expressed disappointment at the rejection of the offer. 'Low impact' A spokesman for UCEA said that less than 5% of the higher education workforce had chosen to vote in favour of strike action and predicted \"a low level impact on students\". The spokesman said that they had made their final pay offer in May and had been engaged in a dispute resolution process with the unions throughout the summer. \"We have met repeatedly over the last six months and as recently as last week.\" The spokesman added that \"salary costs in most HE institutions will actually rise by around 3% this year. \"Many staff will also get generous incremental increases and contribution pay. These pay increases will be seen as generous by many looking into the sector.\" He added that the GMB union had agreed to accept the pay offer for its members employed by universities. For Unite, the turnout for the ballot was 28% and of these, 64% (1,654 members) voted in favour of action. For the UCU the turnout was 35%, with 62% voting in favour of strike action.

            "input": "Soutik BiswasIndia correspondent Waiting in the queue, they noticed two body bags on gurneys. Workers at the hospital in the capital, Gandhinagar, said the patients had died of Covid-19. The mother and daughter returned home and told Rajesh Pathak, who edits a local edition of Sandesh, what they that had seen. Mr Pathak called his reporters that evening and decided to investigate further. \"After all, the government press statements were showing no Covid-19 deaths for Gandhinagar yet,\" he said. Only nine deaths from Covid-19 were officially recorded in Gujarat that day. The next day a team of reporters began calling up hospitals treating Covid-19 patients in seven cities - Ahmedabad, Surat, Rajkot, Vadodara, Gandhinagar, Jamnagar and Bhavnagar - and kept a tab on deaths. Since then, Sandesh, a 98-year-old Gujarati language newspaper, has published a daily count of the dead, which is usually several times more than the official figure. \"We have our sources in hospitals, and the government has not denied any of our reports. But we still needed first-hand confirmation,\" Mr Pathak says. So the newspaper decided to do some old-fashioned shoe-leather journalism. On the evening of 11 April, two reporters and a photographer staked out the mortuary of the 1,200-bed state-run Covid-19 hospital in Ahmedabad. Over 17 hours, they counted 69 body bags coming out of a single exit before they were loaded into waiting ambulances. Next day, Gujarat officially counted 55 deaths, including 20 from Ahmedabad. On the night of 16 April, the journalists drove 150km (93 miles) around Ahmedabad and visited 21 cremation grounds. There they counted body bags and pyres, examined registers, spoke to cremation workers, looked at \"slips\" which assigned the cause of death, and took photographs and recorded videos. They found that most of the deaths were attributed to \"illness\", although the bodies were being handled under rigorous protocols. At the end of the night the team had counted more than 200 bodies. But the next day, Ahmedabad counted only 25 deaths. All of April, Sandesh's intrepid reporters have diligently counted the dead in seven cities. On 21 April, they counted 753 deaths, the highest single-day tally since the deadly second wave washed over the western state. On a number of other days, they counted in excess of 500 deaths. On 5 May, the paper counted 83 deaths in Vadodara. The official figure was 13. The Gujarat government denies under-counting and says it is following federal protocols. But reportage by other newspapers has stood up the alleged under-counting. The English language Hindu newspaper, for example, reported it had information that 689 bodies were cremated or buried in the seven cities following Covid-19 protocols on 16 April, when the official death toll for the entire state was 94. Some experts reckoned that last month alone Gujarat might have under-counted Covid-19 deaths by a staggering factor of 10. With the pandemic forcing people to stay away from the rituals of grief, newspapers were overflowing with obituaries. And some of the obituaries appeared to point to the under-counting that was taking place: The number of funerals at a cremation ground in Bharuch district on Saturday also did not tally with the official death statistic, according to this report in Gujarat Samachar, another leading local newspaper: Gujarat has so far officially registered more than 680,000 Covid-19 infections and over 8,500 deaths. Under-counting of deaths have been reported from several Indian cities badly hit by the pandemic. But the scale of Gujarat's under-counting appears to be massive, and has even provoked the state's high court to admonish the state government, run by Prime Minister Narendra Modi's ruling BJP. \"The state had nothing to gain by hiding the real picture and hence suppression and concealment of accurate data would generate more serious problems including fear, loss of trust, panic among the public at large,\" the judges said in April. Many believe that most Covid-19 deaths are being attributed to the patient's underlying conditions or co-morbidities. A senior bureaucrat, who preferred to remain unnamed, told me only patients testing positive for the virus and dying of \"viral pneumonia\" were being counted as Covid-19 deaths. Chief minister Vijay Rupani says \"every death is being investigated and recorded by a death audit committee\". To be sure, counting bodies at mortuaries or cremation grounds and tallying them with official figures for the day can be imprecise as official statistics come with a time lag, according to Prabhat Jha of the University of Toronto, who led India's ambitious Million Death Study. Countries such as UK have reduced the official death toll from coronavirus after a review of how deaths are counted. Covid-19 deaths have been under-reported by as much as 30 to 40% worldwide, studies have shown. \"Reporting and recording systems are swamped during a pandemic, so officials often take time to update [numbers]. But update they must, and record all the deaths. Counting body bags at hospitals and cremation grounds is a good way to put pressure on authorities to come clean,\" Dr Jha says. For the journalists, it has been a harrowing experience. Hitesh Rathod, a photographer at Sandesh, recounted the harrowing experience of counting the dead. \"People were getting admitted and coming out as body bags,\" he said. He found six-hour-long queues of bodies at crematoria, which he says reminded him of the \"long queues of people outside banks after demonetisation,\" Mr Modi's controversial 2016 ban on high denomination currency. \"Five years later, I found similar queues outside hospitals, mortuaries and cremation grounds. This time there were queues of the people struggling to stay alive and queues of the dead,\" he said. Ronak Shah, one of Sandesh's reporters, says he was shaken up by the wails of three young children piercing the still night when the hospital's PA system announced the death of their father. \"The children were saying they had come to the hospital to pick up their father and go home. They returned with his corpse seven hours later,\" Mr Shah says. Dipak Mashla, who led the team to the cremation grounds, says he returned home \"scared and shaken\". \"I saw parents come with body bags of their dead children, pay money to the funeral worker and tell them, 'Please take my child and burn him'. They were too scared to even touch the corpse.\" Imtiyaz Ujjainwala, another reporter on the team, believes the scale of under-counting has been considerably more, considering he and his colleagues only counted bodies from one hospital. There were more than 171 private hospitals treating Covid-19 patients in Ahmedabad, he said. \"And nobody is counting there.\" Read more of our Covid coverage",

The council is obliged to deliver its judgement within a month but this can be reduced to eight days if the government deems the matter urgent. Ankara warned earlier that Turkey planned to respond with unspecified measures against France if the bill became law. A spokesman for the Turkish embassy in Paris, Engin Solakoglu, told AFP on Tuesday: \"Ties between France and Turkey are going to ease. \"There had been a risk of a rift. For now, this rift appears to have been avoided.\" Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan welcomed the petition in Ankara, according to Turkish private television channel NTV. \"This move is in keeping with what we would expect from France,\" he was quoted as saying. \"I hope the constitutional council will do what is necessary.\" He had previously described the bill as a \"racist and discriminatory approach\". The Turkish government argues that judging what happened in eastern Turkey in 1915-16 should be left to historians, and that the new French law will restrict freedom of speech. The killings are regarded as the seminal event of modern Armenian history, a tragic bond uniting one of the world's most dispersed peoples. Among the other states which formally recognise them as genocide are Argentina, Belgium, Canada, France, Italy, Russia and Uruguay, but the UK, US, Israel and others use different terminology. France is home to an estimated 500,000 ethnic Armenians while about 550,000 Turkish citizens also live in the country.",

It found patients were denied pain relief due to staff shortages, while others were \"frightened\" by nurses. The study was commissioned after it emerged cancer records were falsified. Health sector regulator Monitor placed the Colchester Hospital University Foundation Trust in special measures last year after its cancer services were criticised. Acting chief executive Dr Lucy Moore said the survey was \"extremely helpful\" and was concerned some patients felt they had not been heard. \"It finds most patients and carers said they were satisfied with the treatments and care we provided and acknowledges that we have made improvements in 2014,\" she said. 'Mumbling' doctors Healthwatch Essex, which is an independent organisation, found a third of cancer patients were not satisfied with their treatment and many suffered poor care. Referring to individual cases at the two hospitals, both run by the trust, the report said: \"Patients were in such considerable pain, which was not being managed by the hospital, that they had resorted to phoning relatives in search of help.\" There was also criticism about the way diagnoses were revealed, with one case of a doctor \"mumbling\" so much that a patient did not immediately know they had cancer. However, many patients also praised the specialist cancer nurses, Essex County Hospital and a specialist suite where patients are treated. Dr Tom Nutt, chief executive of Healthwatch Essex, said the report showed \"the importance of listening to patients and their carers\". He called for better training for staff in ethics, more cancer support groups and better communication.

The 15 million babies every year born at or before 37 weeks gestation account for about 10% of the global burden of disease, and one million of them die. Of those who survive, just under 3% have moderate or severe impairments and 4.4% have mild impairments. Prof Lawn, from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (LSHTM), said: \"The perception is you need intensive care for pre-term babies, \"But 85% of babies born premature are six weeks early or less. They need help feeding, with temperature control and they are more prone to infection. \"It's really only before 32 weeks that their lungs are immature and they need help breathing, She added: \"Unless there are those breathing problems, kangaroo care is actually better because it promotes breastfeeding and reduces infection.\" Speaking ahead of World Prematurity Day on Friday, UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, who leads the Every Woman Every Child movement, which promotes improvements to healthcare for women and children, said: \"Three-quarters of the one million babies who die each year from complications associated with prematurity could have been saved with cost-effective interventions, even without intensive care facilities.\" Duncan Wilbur, from the UK charity Bliss, said, \"While kangaroo care saves lives in Africa, it is also incredibly important for babies born too soon all over the world. \"Here in the UK our medical technology is extremely advanced but simply giving a baby kangaroo care or skin-to-skin can help make a baby's breathing and heart rate more regular, it can help a baby's discomfort during certain medical procedures and importantly can benefit breastfeeding and bonding between the baby and parents.\" Pregnancy risks Studies to be published this weekend in the Pediatric Research journal show boys are 14% more likely to be born prematurely - and boys who are premature are more likely to die or experience disability than girls. Common disabilities include learning disorders and cerebral palsy. Prof Lawn said: \"One partial explanation for more preterm births among boys is that women pregnant with a boy are more likely to have placental problems, pre-eclampsia, and high blood pressure, all associated with preterm births.\" She added: \"Baby boys have a higher likelihood of infections, jaundice, birth complications, and congenital conditions, but the biggest risk for baby boys is due to preterm birth. \"For two babies born at the same degree of prematurity, a boy will have a higher risk of death and disability compared to a girl. \"Even in the womb, girls mature more rapidly than boys, which provides an advantage, because the lungs and other organs are more developed.\"",

            "input": "Mr Raab told the BBC's Andrew Marr Show contingency planning was in place to make sure no-one would be stranded. But he dampened hopes of a government rescue bid for the firm. Ministers did not \"systematically step in\" when businesses went under unless there was \"a good strategic national interest\", he said. Mr Raab said he did not want to undermine the rescue talks that Thomas Cook is currently conducting with its biggest shareholder and creditors in the City of London. The tour operator's financial difficulties have mounted over the past year, culminating in a refinancing plan in August led by its biggest shareholder, Chinese company Fosun. But banks now want the company to raise extra funds and it could fall into administration within days unless it finds £200m. The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) has aircraft on standby in case Thomas Cook does go into administration over night. The BBC understands that those aircraft are currently being flown to destinations so that British tourists can be flown home on Monday if necessary. A source said the CAA is \"very prepared\". The Transport Salaried Staffs Association (TSSA) union, which represents Thomas Cook staff, is urging the government to step in with a bail out amid fears the company's collapse could leave about 150,000 British tourists stranded. Thomas Cook customers have been reminded on social media that they have Atol protection - a fund paid for through industry levies - \"in the event that Thomas Cook goes into administration\". The travel firm also reassured customers on Sunday that flights continue to operate as normal. Analysis Katie Prescott, business correspondent This meeting is crucial for Thomas Cook's survival. If there is no agreement, then the decision to wind up the company will be taken at a board meeting this evening. It's likely (looking at the precedent of Monarch's collapse) that any announcement about that will be made late at night, once all planes are on the ground. But the company doesn't have to announce anything until the markets open at 07:00 BST on Monday. It's low season at the moment, the time of year when Thomas Cook has to pay its suppliers for the busy summer season just gone. Hoteliers are paid on 60 to 90-day terms, once travellers have already taken their holidays. The nightmare scenario is that hoteliers who don't think they will get paid might turn out the people staying with them. However, it is worth re-stating that the company is still trading. People are still holidaying with Thomas Cook. And while we can assume the company is reining back marketing activity around last-minute deals and offers, until any announcement is made, it is business as usual. The foreign secretary said he did not want talk of contingency planning to become \"a self-fulfilling prophecy\". He told the BBC the government had learned lessons from the collapse of the Monarch airline in 2017. The UK's consular authorities abroad were ready to assist, he said. A government spokesperson described the situation as a \"worrying time for holidaymakers and employees\". They added: \"The financial circumstances of individual businesses are a commercial matter, but the government and the Civil Aviation Authority are monitoring the situation closely.\" The view from Majorca By BBC Europe reporter Gavin Lee As Thomas Cook customers anxiously wait to see if and how their holidays might be affected, some say they have already found themselves in \"horrible\" situations abroad. Customers at a hotel in Tunisia say they were prevented from leaving the property on Saturday unless they paid extra fees - thousands of pounds in some cases - to cover what the resort says it is owed by the tour operator. In Majorca, it's a different story. Liz Preston said there were cheers when her plane took off from Gatwick. \"It was a moment that captured the sheer relief really, that we could still have a holiday, as well as the fact that it might be one of the last ever flights,\" she said. The Thomas Cook staff were in reassurance mode, urging customers to enjoy their holiday, but advising them to keep an eye on the news if the situation changes and their return flight becomes difficult. Richard Stevens from Faversham in Kent said he's \"gutted\" Thomas Cook is in such trouble, because he's been coming on Thomas Cook package holidays with his wife and two sons for \"donkey's years\". The domino effect of Thomas Cook's collapse on this holiday island would be significant. Hundreds of smaller industries rely on the through-flow of Thomas Cook travellers for excursion tours, water sports, as well as cafes and bars. Caledonia Tours is a company that offers sightseeing trips. Tour operator Lucas Pantone says 80% of his business is from Thomas Cook. \"If it goes under\" he says, \"we'll be having a crisis meeting within hours, over whether we can survive\". Rescue call There are currently 600,000 Thomas Cook customers on holiday, of which 150,000 to 160,000 are British. One of the world's largest travel companies, Thomas Cook was founded in 1841 to operate temperance day trips, and now has annual sales of £9bn. It employs 22,000 staff, 9,000 of whom are in the UK, and serves 19 million customers a year in 16 different countries. In July, Thomas Cook produced a business plan saying that it needed £900m in refinancing, up from a previous estimate of £150m. The £900m would come from China's Fosun, the group of creditors and some other investors. The group of lenders then commissioned an independent investigation. Its financial advisers said Thomas Cook would require an additional £200m on top of the £900m already required, which would bring the total refinancing needed up to £1.1bn. Thomas Cook succeeded in finding a backer to provide the additional £200m, but the BBC understands it has since pulled out. The firm has blamed a series of problems for its profit warnings, including political unrest in holiday destinations such as Turkey, last summer's prolonged heatwave and customers delaying booking holidays because of Brexit. Brian Strutton, the general secretary of the British Airline Pilots Association, said: \"Ministers need to step forward and take responsibility for the sake of passengers and staff. \"There is a real risk that if the worst comes to the worst proper arrangements may not be in place for the repatriation programme and staff are still working while not knowing if they have a job or will even get paid for this month.\" Shadow business secretary Rebecca Long Bailey said \"the government must consider stepping in and taking an equity stake to avoid this crisis\". What are your rights? If you are on a package holiday you are covered by the Air Travel Organiser's Licence scheme (Atol). The scheme will pay for your accommodation abroad, although you may have to move to a different hotel or apartment. Atol will also pay to have you brought home if the airline is no longer operating. If you have holiday booked in the future you will also be refunded by the scheme. If you have booked a flight-only deal you will need to apply to your travel insurance company or credit card and debit card provider to seek a refund. When Monarch Airlines collapsed in 2017, the government organised to bring home all the stranded passengers, whether they were covered by Atol or not.

            "input": "The project had breached environmental protection acts and raised concerns for the rights of local tribes, Environment Minister Jairam Ramesh said. Vedanta's other ventures in Orissa were being investigated separately, he said. The company has yet to comment on the decision. It says it will bring jobs to the area - tribespeople say the plans will destroy their sacred land. Campaign group Survival International described Tuesday's decision as \"a stunning victory\" for the tribespeople. 'No prejudice' Mr Ramesh said there had been \"serious violations of environment protection acts\" in Orissa's Kalahandi district, where Vedanta wants to mine the bauxite for an aluminium refinery it has built. \"There is no emotion, no politics, no prejudice... I have taken the decision in a purely legal approach. These laws are being violated,\" he told a press conference in Delhi. As the tribes were \"completely dependent\" on the forest, any violation of the protection extended to their \"habitat and habitations are simply unacceptable\", the minister said. Mr Ramesh said Vedanta had also been found violating \"environmental clearance laws\" for its existing aluminium refinery in the area. The government would begin legal action against the company, he added. The decision by the environment ministry came after a government report last week which said mining in the area would deprive two ancient tribes - the Kutia and Dongria Kondh - of their rights for the benefit of a private company. The report concluded the mine would threaten the tribes' survival. It may also have a serious impact on security, the report said, referring to a Maoist insurgency in parts of India. The rebels say they are fighting partly for the rights of poor tribal people displaced by large industrial projects. 'Sacred' hill UK-based Vedanta, owned by Indian businessman Anil Agarwal, wants to extract bauxite from the Niyamgiri Hill range which is revered by the Dongria Kondh tribe. The company has proposed a $2.7bn investment in the area and says the project will bring jobs and development to one of India's poorest districts. It has previously said it has complied with all rules and regulations. The Dongria Kondh say the mining project will destroy their sacred hill and their source of livelihood. Last week, Vedanta said it would be willing to move to another site. \"We are willing to look at alternate locations. Without the requisite approvals and clearances we will not even move an inch,\" Mr Agarwal said. Vedanta is also facing hurdles in its bid for control of oil and gas explorer Cairn India, a potential deal valued at $9.6bn that could give the group a slice of India's oil reserves. Survival International has helped lead a high-profile campaign against Vedanta's plans in India, where using land for industrial purposes is hugely controversial. \"This is a victory nobody would have believed possible,\" Survival campaigner Jo Woodman said in a statement. \"The Dongria's campaign became a litmus test of whether a small, marginalised tribe could stand up to a massive multinational company with an army of lobbyists and PR firms and the ear of government,\" he said. The group has likened the plight of the Dongria Kondh to the fictional Na'vi tribe in the blockbuster James Cameron film Avatar. Celebrities such as Bianca Jagger, Michael Palin and Joanna Lumley have spoken out against the mining project. And in February, the Church of England sold its shares in Vedanta, saying that to do otherwise would be inconsistent with its ethical investment policy.",

            "input": "This question reheats a confectionery conundrum first raised in 1991. A tax is charged on chocolate-covered biscuits, but not on cakes. The manufacturer, McVities, had always categorised them as cakes and to boost their revenue the tax authorities wanted them recategorised as biscuits. A legal case was fought in front of a brilliant adjudicator, Mr D C Potter. For McVities, this produced a sweet result. The Jaffa Cake has both cake-like qualities and biscuit-like qualities, but Mr Potter's verdict was that, on balance, a Jaffa Cake is a cake. He examined a dozen possible criteria. There was, for example, the name. They are called Jaffa Cakes, not Jaffa Biscuits. This, Mr Potter concluded, was a trifling consideration, though he noted that Jaffa Cakes are more biscuit than cake in several ways. They are packaged like biscuits, and they are marketed like biscuits: they are usually found in the biscuit aisle in shops. On the other hand, they have fundamental cake-esque qualities. Thus, they have ingredients of a traditional sponge cake: eggs, flour and sugar. And when Jaffa Cakes go stale they become hard, unlike biscuits, which become soft. Does size matter? Jaffa Cakes are more biscuit-sized than cake-sized. Linked to this, cakes are often eaten with a fork, while biscuits tend to be held in the hand. To test the significance of size, I asked the winner of The Great British Bake Off 2013, Frances Quinn, to bake the most ginormous Jaffa Cake the world has ever seen - the size of a flying saucer, at 124cm in diameter, weighing in at 50kg, and containing 120 eggs and 30 litres of jelly. Tim Crane, Knightbridge Professor of Philosophy at Cambridge University, does not believe that this XXXXXXXXXXXL Jaffa Cake is any more cake-like than its normal-sized Jaffa Cake sibling. \"These days you see all sorts of tiny cakes for sale, some of them much smaller than Jaffa Cakes,\" he says. \"And there's nothing incoherent about a giant biscuit.\" The immediate implication of Mr Potter's ruling was financial. But Prof Crane says the question \"Cake or Biscuit?\" touches on a profound philosophical problem. \"How do our concepts relate to reality?\" Which aspects of our classification of the world come from the world itself and which come from us? There is no record of the 20th Century philosopher, Ludwig Wittgenstein, ever tasting a Jaffa Cake, though there is evidence that he was partial towards a bun. But his ideas are relevant to the Jaffa Cake puzzle. We are tempted to think that every concept must have a strict definition to be useable. But Wittgenstein pointed out that there are many \"family-resemblance\" concepts, as he called them. Family members can look alike without sharing a single characteristic. Some might have distinctive cheek bones, others a prominent nose, etc. Equally, some concepts can operate with overlapping similarities. Take the concept of \"game\". Some games involve a ball, some don't. Some involve teams, some don't. Some are competitive, some are not. There is no characteristic that all games have in common. And there is no strict definition of \"cake\" or \"biscuit\" that compels us to place the Jaffa Cake under either category. Find out more Ponder the philosophy of the Jaffa Cake in the Philosopher's Arms on BBC Radio 4 at 20:00 on Monday 20 February Or catch up later here Another temptation is to believe that all that is at stake here is an arbitrary issue of semantics. It is, the thought goes, a mere verbal convention whether one labels a Jaffa Cake a cake or a biscuit. It has nothing to do with the real world. The distinction between statements that are true as a matter of convention or language (\"All triangles have three sides\"), and those that make a claim about the empirical world (\"It is possible to eat 13 Jaffa Cakes in a minute\") - is a longstanding one in philosophy. But in the middle of the last century the American philosopher Willard Van Orman Quine disputed whether such a rigid distinction could be maintained - and Tim Crane agrees with him that it cannot. \"Do you know what an Umiak is?\" Tim Crane asks? \"No? Well, it's a flat-bottomed Inuit canoe. So have I told you something about the word, or have I told you something about the world? Well, I think you've learned something about both.\" And if it's true to say, \"a Jaffa Cake is a cake\" (or \"a Jaffa Cake is a biscuit\") then that also tells us something about the world, i.e. about the properties of a Jaffa Cake, as well as about the meaning of the word \"cake\". But could Jaffa Cakes be neither cakes nor biscuits - and instead something in between? It may be interesting to compare Jaffa Cakes with people here, even though they differ in several ways - most Jaffa Cakes have no opinion about how they should be identified, for example, and most humans are not topped by a thin but scrumptious layer of chocolate. Until recently, people have not been free to choose their gender, and have been restricted to being described as either male or female. More and more discoveries in science are undermining this binary mapping. It used to be thought that men were defined by their having a Y chromosome. Now we know that whether an embryo develops as a male depends upon a single gene: the SRY gene. It's possible for a person with XY chromosomes to have the appearance of a woman if they are lacking this gene. Similarly, a person with XX chromosomes can have the appearance of a male if they carry this gene. There are many genes at play when it comes to the male versus female development. Genetics, hormones, chromosomes can all combine to complicate a complicated picture. As a result, says Dr Helen O'Neill, a geneticist at University College London, \"I think we should revise our definitions of male and female, there are many gradations in between\". In fact, for some purposes, she thinks we should get rid of the male-female distinction, for example on passports. After all, she says, we are all homo sapiens. Multifaceted expressions of identity inject a further layer of complexity. Mx Pips Bunce, who is married with two children and works for Credit Suisse as head of Global Markets Integration Components, identifies as \"gender-fluid\". Sometimes Pips wakes up choosing to express as Pippa and other times as Phil. The world at present is set up for binary categorisation despite as many as 4% of people now identifying as non-binary, according to some studies. Two obvious and tricky areas are bathrooms and sport. Pips uses the female bathrooms as Pippa and the male ones as Phil, whereas some people who identify as non-binary or trans would rather bathrooms were intersex. The topic of which bathrooms transgender people use is highly contentious. Equally contentious are intersex athletes in sport, like the South African Olympic 800m champion, Caster Semenya, who competes as a woman. Is it possible, or desirable, to break down the binary categories in sport - to introduce new categories perhaps? The idea is not preposterous. Boxing, with its different weights - flyweight, heavyweight etc. - is one of several sports carved up into more nuanced groupings than simply male/female. But back to the Jaffa Cake mystery. Cake or biscuit? \"Definitely cake,\" says Tim Crane, echoing the judgement of Mr Potter. This is an assertion about the world, not just about language. A Jaffa Cake, in its essence, is more cake-like than biscuit like. Its cake features are more elemental than its biscuit features. And with that riddle solved, the Knightbridge Professor of Philosophy shrinks the world's largest Jaffa Cake by taking a giant bite.

            "input": "Antonio Caraballo's 10-year-old son Sami, who lives with his mother in Finland, flew to Edinburgh on Saturday to see his father. Mr Caraballo expected Sami to self-isolate at the family home and filled out pre-flight paperwork accordingly. But on arrival, border officials insisted he had to isolate in a hotel. Because he is a child, Mr Caraballo has had to quarantine with him, at a total cost of more than £2,400. The Scottish government said children under 11 were exempt from having to be tested for Covid-19 on arrival to Scotland, but not from having to stay in a quarantine hotel. The rule means that Sami will spend 10 days of his 14-day visit in a hotel room, and Mr Caraballo, who is a key worker at an oil and gas firm, has to do his work from there. Mr Caraballo told BBC Scotland: \"Sami lives in Finland with his mother and usually we see a lot of each other, but because of the pandemic, he has not been here since last summer. We didn't see him at Christmas. \"We had to balance the risks of my son travelling from a country with a low number of cases to a country with a high number of cases. \"But we brought him for his own wellbeing. Now I am so frustrated for him.\" Sami's parents had organised an extra week off school to add to his week-long half term break known as the \"ski holiday\" in Finland. The school were happy to let him spend time with his family. Mr Caraballo arrived at the airport to collect his son on Saturday but instead of taking him home to isolate there, ended the day in a quarantine hotel. \"I got a call from the border agent,\" he said. \"He said he didn't need a Covid test but he had to go to the hotel. They said because my child is underage an adult would have to go with him. We had to try to book the quarantine hotel online and then my wife and Sami's sister Amelia, who is three, only saw him for five seconds as the two of us were escorted away.\" Mr Caraballo has tried to appeal against the decision and was given a helpline to call by the hotel staff. Unfortunately this turned out to be an invalid number. He is finding it difficult to speak to anyone who can help. \"The most frustrating thing is that there doesn't seem to be anyone who is accountable,\" he said. \"There is no-one to call, no-one to speak to at the hotel.\" Coronavirus restrictions on travel and visiting other households in Scotland carry an exemption for shared parenting. People are allowed \"to travel to participate in or facilitate shared parenting or between two parts of an extended household\". Mr Caraballo feels that when a child is visiting a parent, there should be an exemption, or the ability to self-isolate at home. He said: \"We thought we were doing the right thing flying him into Edinburgh. If we had him arrive in another part of the UK there would have been a loophole.\" Different rules set by the UK and Scottish governments mean that arrivals to airports in England who travel on to Scotland, do not have to quarantine in a hotel unless they arrive from a country on the red list. For the moment all plans are on hold and Sami will have just three days with his family after the hotel stay. A family \"late Christmas dinner\" has been postponed. Mr Caraballo said Sami was bored and frustrated but is resilient. He added: \"It's just a shame. The whole point of bringing him here was to cheer him up.\" A Scottish government spokesperson said: \"We understand how difficult this is for families with children, but to manage the risk of importing new variants and to give vaccine deployment the best chance of bringing us closer to normality these limits on international travel are necessary. \"The clinical advice is clear that a comprehensive system of managed quarantine is essential to minimise the impact of new Covid-19 variants. This means children must enter managed isolation regardless of whether they are accompanied or unaccompanied. We must restrict how many exemptions are in place otherwise the policy will not be effective.\" Are you currently in hotel quarantine? Share your experiences by emailing haveyoursay@bbc.co.uk.

It added the brake was applied two and a half seconds before the crash, suggesting the driver \"lost awareness\". A total of 70 passengers were on board in November, rather than 60 as originally believed, it showed. The report found the tram was travelling at 46mph - faster then the 43.5mph initially thought - before it crashed in a 13mph zone near the Sandilands Junction area of Croydon. The RAIB's second interim report said: \"Of the seven passengers who died, one was found inside the tram; two were found partially inside the tram; three were found underneath the tram; and another was found on the track close to the tram.\" The brake would have had to have been applied as the tram entered the last of three tunnels approximately 180 metres ahead of the junction, which was a left turn, in order to slow sufficiently to 13mph, the report indicated. But the RAIB said the late application of the brake and the \"absence of emergency braking\" suggested tram driver, Alfred Dorris - the only member of staff on board - had \"lost awareness\" that he was approaching the 13mph zone. The seven people killed were Dane Chinnery, 19, Philip Logan, 52, Philip Seary, 57, Dorota Rynkiewicz, 35, and Robert Huxley, 63, all from New Addington, and Mark Smith, 35 and Donald Collett, 62, both of Croydon. A further 51 people were taken to hospital, with eight of them suffering injuries described by London Ambulance Service as serious or life-threatening. London's Transport Commissioner Mike Brown, said Transport for London's (TfL) thoughts remained with \"all those affected by the tragic tram derailment\". He added TfL continued to \"do all we can to offer our support\".

            "input": "Anthony ZurcherNorth America reporter@awzurcheron Twitter \"So, I want to tell you a story.\" Elizabeth Warren officially launched her campaign for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination the way you might imagine a former Harvard professor would begin. With a history lesson. The Massachusetts senator told the crowd of several thousand in Saturday's blustery cold about Everett Mill, the site where they had gathered in Lawrence, Massachusetts . Back in 1912, the textile factory was the scene of a labour strike for better pay and working conditions that expanded to include 20,000 workers, mostly women, in the then-bustling industrial town. The movement that started in Lawrence, she explained, led to government-mandated minimum wage, union rights, weekends off, overtime pay and new safety laws across the US. \"The story of Lawrence is a story about how real change happens in America,\" Ms Warren said. \"It's a story about power - our power - when we fight together.\" The extended opening was classic Warren. Erudite, informative and a bit long-winded. A mix of Ivy League intellectualism and blue-collar witticisms drawn from her working-class childhood in Oklahoma. These days, Lawrence isn't much to look at. Its once-imposing factories are worn and darkened by soot and time. The tall brick smokestacks stand like husks of trees in a long-dead forest. Twenty-nine percent of the town's 80,000 residents live below the poverty line. Opioid drug trafficking and abuse is rampant. Although Ms Warren didn't cite modern-day Lawrence as a cautionary tale, the backdrop served to illustrate another part of her message - that the current financial structure of America is broken, a victim of rapacious big business and indifferent government. The middle-class, she said, is struggling in a \"rigged system that props up the rich and the powerful and kicks dirt on everyone else.\" If that sounds a bit familiar, it's perhaps because the problems she identifies are similar to the ones highlighted by Donald Trump in his successful 2016 presidential campaign. Of course, her policy prescriptions are the opposite - and Ms Warren has positioned herself as a frequent critic of the president's. She says government needs to take a more active role in reining in the excesses of capitalism and provide a sturdier safety net for those on society's margins. \"Trump gave people false hope,\" says Brian Perry, a bricklayer from Weymouth, Massachusetts who came to Lawrence to hear Ms Warren speak. \"He said all the right things. He's just unprepared and not interested in fixing them. In fact, he made it worse. She intends to change it, and she's willing to offer real solutions.\" The solutions Ms Warren proposed on Sunday include \"big, structural change\" that addresses the corrupting influence of money in Washington, growing wealth inequality throughout the nation and electoral dysfunction that threatens a free and fair democratic process. Her centrepiece policy, at least so far, is a 2% tax on the wealth of households worth more than $50m, rising to 3% on portfolios over $1bn. She said it was an \"ultra-millionaire tax to make sure rich people start doing their part for the country that helped make them rich\". The progressive champion It's that the kind of talk that has made Elizabeth Warren a star of the progressive left for more than a decade. She burst onto the national scene following the 2008 economic collapse, championing the creation of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau - a government agency that would serve as a Wall Street watchdog and public advocate. In 2010, following congressional passage of the Dodd-Frank financial reform bill, she helped the Obama administration set it up. Two years later Ms Warren rode that wave of attention to a seat in the US Senate by defeating incumbent Republican Scott Brown, who just two years earlier had won a special election to fill the rest of the late Edward Kennedy's term. A viral video of her explaining taxation and government debt got more than a million views on YouTube. During her tenure she earned a reputation for her hard-nosed questioning of business executives from her perch on the Senate Finance Committee. She was floated as a possible presidential contender in 2016 and a potent challenger to Hillary Clinton for the Democratic nomination, but demurred, saying she had no interest in the White House job. Now that calculus has changed. On New Year's Eve she became the first major Democratic candidate to announce that she was planning a presidential bid. She hit the campaign trail in the key early voting states of Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina, as well as Puerto Rico. According to Iowa political analyst Pat Rynard, Ms Warren made a big splash in her January visit to his state - an indication that her popularity on the left could translate into votes in 2020. \"It was really eye-opening,\" he said. \"There were huge, enthusiastic crowds who knew her well and really liked her talk about fighting on behalf of the middle class and taking on the big banks.\" On Saturday, Ms Warren returned to her home state to formally announce she was running - and how she intended to win. \"There are a lot of people out there with money and power and armies of lobbyists and lawyers,\" she said. \"People who will say it's 'extreme' or 'radical' to demand an America where every family has some economic security and every kid has a real opportunity to succeed. \"I say to them, 'Get ready, because change is coming faster than you think.'\" More on the Democratic 2020 race White House obstacles Ms Warren will compete in a crowded primary field - one that already includes four of her fellow senators, four other women and at least a dozen more potential candidates. No candidate will have a smooth path to the Democratic nomination, and the reality is she has some imposing obstacles between her and the prize. Last Friday the Boston Globe published an editorial that highlighted a negative story that has dogged Ms Warren since she first ran for the Senate seven years ago - her past claims of native American heritage. She had previously claimed in interviews, publications and her 1986 Texas state bar application that she had Cherokee Indian heritage - and was once listed by Harvard University as a minority hire. Ms Warren says she was simply recounting what her parents had told her and she received no benefit from that status. The Globe wasn't satisfied. \"Warren's never been a member of any tribe,\" the Globe writes. \"She's white. Playing loose with the facts about identity is bad within the current political climate of the Democratic Party, where issues of race have come to the fore.\" Last year the Massachusetts senator released results of a DNA test that showed some native American blood, but the move did nothing to quash the criticism - and, in fact, led to sharp criticism from tribal leaders. The controversy has also attracted the attention of President Trump, who has frequently mocked Ms Warren with the name \"Pocahontas,\" a reference to the 17th Century daughter of a Powhatan tribal chief captured by English settlers. On Saturday morning, the Trump campaign issued a press release blasting Ms Warren's \"dishonest campaign\" as well as criticising her policies, which it said would \"kill jobs and crush America's middle class\". It was the first time the Trump team has directly attacked a Democratic candidate on their campaign launch day. Even among Ms Warren's supporters at her Lawrence rally, there was some unease with the controversy - not with the nature of the allegations, but how the senator has responded to the subsequent fallout. \"I think she's probably handled it poorly,\" says Melissa Saalfield of Concord, Massachusetts. \"It's unfortunate because I think it's somewhat derailing her campaign.\" Saalfield, a fundraiser for a local hospital, laments that while scandals seem to \"roll off\" Mr Trump, Ms Warren can't seem to shake this one. And the pressure and scrutiny of the senator will only grow sharper as she gets deeper into the campaign. \"I suspect that there's a larger contingent that are determined to derail her because she poses a threat,\" Saalfield says. Part of the skittishness among some Democrats when it comes to Ms Warren comes from the memories of the 2016 campaign, when the story about then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's private email server - which was similarly dismissed by many as a passing controversy - bedevilled the Democratic nominee right up until election day. The similarities between Ms Clinton and Ms Warren as candidates - both white women running in their late 60s, both with policy-heavy campaigns, both relentlessly mocked by Donald Trump - could, fairly or not, be enough to touch raw nerves and give some Democrats pause. A much-publicised Politico article questioned whether the \"ghosts\" of Ms Clinton's campaign would haunt Ms Warren. The article was criticised as painting both politicians with a sexist brush - but it hinted at a deeper danger to Ms Warren's presidential hopes. \"When women politicians - especially women politicians who embrace a feminist agenda - overtly seek power, many American men, and some American women, react with 'moral outrage,'\" writes the Atlantic's Peter Beinart. The Bernie factor There is another thread that could link Ms Clinton and Ms Warren, and that's the threat to their campaign posed by the candidacy of Bernie Sanders. It may not at first seem obvious. The Vermont senator ran well to Ms Clinton's left in 2016, offering a big-ticket progressive agenda like universal healthcare, free college education, sweeping environmental regulations and a tax structure to address growing income inequality. In 2019, that sounds a lot like Ms Warren's platform. There is, however, friction between the philosophical outlooks of the two New England senators. If Mr Sanders, as is expected, enters the race, those differences could lead to a pitched battle for the progressive portion of the Democratic primary vote. According to Zaid Jilani, a progressive commentator and writing fellow for the University of California Berkeley, Ms Warren is a pragmatist, while Mr Sanders is a political revolutionary. She has hired former Clinton and Obama campaign staffers friendly to the establishment; he is offering a challenge from the outside. She was a registered Republican in the 1990s; he has been a self-proclaimed \"Democratic Socialist\" since the 1960s. Her policies aim to smooth capitalism's rough edges and create a competitive economic environment; he would prefer government step in and run things. \"When you're president you have limited amount of political capital and time to get things passed,\" Jilani says. \"You prioritise your core beliefs, and her heart is much more about 'can we make markets fair'?\" In an October 2018 essay in the Guardian, Jacobin magazine editor Bhaskar Sunkara was even more direct. \"Though Warren is an ally of many progressive causes, the best chance that we have to not just construct some better policy, but reconfigure a generation of American politics lies with Sanders running and capturing both the Democratic primary and the presidency,\" he writes. The fight ahead If Ms Warren can't win over some of the progressive true believers who flocked to Mr Sanders in 2016, a campaign focused on economic inequality and reform could struggle to gain traction. Her ideas may pull the rest of the field to the left, but candidates with clearer constituencies within the Democratic Party could flourish while she stumbles. Ms Warren is set to give it a shot, however. Iowa's Reynard says the senator is putting together a top-notch campaign operation. \"It's not just some little investment,\" he says. \"This is a team that you build to win.\" Success there, followed by a strong showing in New Hampshire, which neighbours her home state of Massachusetts, could knock enough other candidates out to give her a clearer path in the slew of states that follow. She's spent more than a year collecting favours and building a campaign network across the US, and early success could position her to cash in on those investments. \"There will be plenty of doubters and cowards and armchair critics\" of her campaign, Ms Warren said in Lawrence on Saturday. \"But we learned a long time ago that you don't get what you don't fight for. We are in this fight for our lives, for our children, for our planet, for our futures, and we will not turn back.\" In just under a year, she'll have a chance to prove the doubters, cowards and critics wrong.

However, the majority of cancellations were on other routes, due to staffing or maintenance issues. The latest delays follow a week of disruption linked to the introduction of a new \"enhanced\" timetable. ScotRail apologised for the signalling problems, and said it acted swiftly to arrange for rail tickets to be valid for Stagecoach bus services. Ongoing problems are understood to include maintenance issues and the late arrival of new trains which had a knock-on impact on staff training. A ScotRail spokesperson said: \"We're sorry to our customers who have experienced disruption - the vast majority of our services have run, and we're working hard to improve that. \"Anyone delayed by 30 minutes or more as a result of a cancellation is entitled to compensation through our Delay Repay Guarantee. Just keep hold of your ticket and claim on our website or mobile app.\" The recent timetable changes, which included 100 new services, refurbished Intercity high speed trains and the introduction of brand new Hitachi class 385 electric trains, were meant to deliver the \"best railway Scotland has ever had\". But the early days of the new timetable have been marred by staff shortages, with many workers not ready for implementation of the new services. Many trains have been cancelled as a result, and carriages have been cut on some existing services, resulting in overcrowding. The RMT union said the underlying was that ScotRail did not have enough staff - and was relying on its members working overtime. Scotland organiser Mick Hogg told BBC Radio Scotland's Beattie programme: \"The fact of the matter is that ScotRail do not have the resources to do the training and run Scotland's trains. He added: \"If staff refuse to work the overtime, the employer ScotRail has a problem. \"No-one can be forced to work their free time, their rest days. ScotRail is very much reliant on staff working the overtime.\" Last week ScotRail released new figures showing that punctuality had improved, and was at its best since September. The train service, run by Dutch firm Abellio, said 83.4% of trains met the rail industry performance standard of arriving less than five minutes behind schedule. The yearly average now stands at 87.3%. However, these latest figures do not reflect the most recent cancellations. Network Rail said only five full cancellations were the direct result of Monday's signalling fault at Perth, and that it was fixed by 06:30.",

The probe is set to look at the profits of the six largest suppliers. \"This will help build consumer trust and confidence in the energy market.\" said Ofgem boss Dermot Nolan. \"Now is the right time to refer the energy market to the CMA for the benefit of consumers. \"There is near-unanimous support for a referral and the CMA investigation offers an important opportunity to clear the air.\" In March an Ofgem report questioned the effectiveness of competition in the market and recommended a full inquiry. It was then required by law to consult other interested parties before making a final referral. 'Major structural change' One of Ofgem's central concerns is the structure of the market which allows big companies to be both energy generators and suppliers to households. It wants the CMA's investigation to examine how this works and whether the relationship should be broken up. \"It could lead to a major structural change in the industry and indeed the energy companies themselves.\" Ofgem's chief executive Dermot Nolan told the BBC's 5 live Money. And he added: \"I do think there are pros and cons to the argument, but we absolutely feel it needs to be examined and settled by the authority and we hope they'll make this a central aspect of the report.\" Analysis John Moylan, BBC News So what happens now? The most long awaited competition probe in years will get underway almost immediately. Within days the CMA will appoint the independent panel members who will lead the investigation. That will be followed within weeks by a timetable for the work and its terms of reference. The scope of the investigation will be crucial. Some big 6 firms say it should be broad, covering everything that makes up our energy bill, from wholesale prices to green levies. But the regulator isn't convinced. It has highlighted again the core issues that have caused the trust in the energy market to break down - the wholesale and retail markets and the links between the two. If the CMA finds flaws that are limiting competition, keeping new entrants out and keeping prices higher than they might otherwise have been, then it has the power to undertake structural remedies. That could mean the break up of the big 6 firms. Our energy market may never be the same again. End of 'toxic debate' Ofgem also wants the CMA to examine whether there is sufficient competition between the large energy providers, and whether consumers who do not switch supplier are being set higher prices. Energy UK, which represents the largest energy companies, said it welcomed the investigation. \"The competition inquiry will allow us to put to bed the toxic debate and shine a light on the progress the industry has already made\" said its chief executive Angela Knight. And she added: \"There are now more companies than ever in the market, switching is on the up especially to smaller suppliers and the industry is making it easier than ever for customers to engage with their company.\" Switching Earlier this month Ofgem reached agreement with the energy companies to make it easier for customers to switch supplier. Under the agreement customers will be able to switch energy supplier within three days by the end of the year. Anyone who wants to switch must be given a two-week cooling-off period for the chance to change their mind, before the three-day process starts. Next-day switching should be in place by the end of 2018 at the latest. At present, the switching process can take five weeks, including the two-week cancellation period. 'No stone unturned' Consumer groups welcomed today's announcement. \"This is a watershed moment for the broken energy market and millions of people struggling to cope with spiralling bills,\" said Richard Lloyd, executive director of the consumer group, Which. \"The investigation must leave no stone unturned in establishing the truth behind energy prices, and while it takes place Ofgem must continue its renewed, tougher approach to protecting consumers.

The 29-year-old wakes up five times a night to satisfy her cravings and eats just one meal a day to keep her weight to nine stone. She now wants help for her addiction. The former gambling addict spends £250 a week on both energy and regular fizzy drinks. 2,000 cans She told the BBC's Kaye Adams programme: \"It started about three and a half years ago. \"I used to have three cans, then six cans, then more and more. I remember getting to 20 cans a day. And now, if I don't have them, I end up with migraines. \"I have never got a can out of my hand. I am sitting right now with two cans - one fizzy and one energy drink. \"I keep a stock of 2,000 cans at home and keep 48 cans at my sister's house at all times.\" Emma, from Selkirk in the Borders, even has a tried-and-tested plan for when she goes on holiday. \"There are five of us and we go to Turkey. I take a case and I fill everyone else's cases with Irn Bru.\" Emma says she feels addicted to them and feels she needs the drinks to function on a day-to-day basis. She said: \"It makes me feel normal to drink them. I can't stop. \"If I don't drink them, I get migraines and the shakes. So drinking them makes me feel normal like everyone else does all day, every day. \"At work I am not allowed to drink it but I have been known to sneak them down to the checkout.\" Emma works for Tesco, and surprisingly supports a ban on supermarkets selling energy drinks to children under 16. She would not like to see young people getting to the stage she has reached. Built a tolerance \"I hate seeing kids drinking them,\" she said. \"They are so addictive. If they drink it at the age of ten, by the time they are 16 they'll be addicted. It only took me three years to get to this stage.\" Emma admits her addiction is making her miserable: \"I'm not happy. I've had loads of grief about this as if it's something that I want to do. \"I don't just drink these drinks for something to do. I have built up a tolerance to this. I couldn't get up and start drinking 20 cans of juice a day.\" The former gambling addict has been warned about the health dangers of consuming so much sugar and caffeine. But surprisingly, she has been given a clean bill of health from her dentist and has not gained excess weight from the 3,000 calories a day she is drinking. She has maintained her nine-stone weight, but not in the most sensible fashion. She said: \"I only have one meal a day. I don't eat breakfast and I eat at about 15:00 and that's me - yesterday I ate one baguette and that was it. \"But I don't ever feel hungry.\" Emma wants to kick her habit. She stopped her gambling addiction by banning herself from local betting shops. But she fears she will find it impossible to avoid shops which sell these drinks. \"I would strongly say, having been addicted before, that I am definitely addicted. \"I don't think it's a choice, I NEED to have it. \"I was addicted to gambling and now this has replaced it.\" Emma is waiting to see an addiction psychologist and hopes this will give her the strength to kick the habit for good. Judy James, behavioural psychologist, says: \"There was very little I heard from Emma apart from deep unhappiness - she is not getting anything positive from her addiction, but a sense of fear she wouldn't cope if she stopped doing it. \"It sounds like an addictive personality but it doesn't mean she has no hope at all. There are still decisions to make and she can still control it. \"Emma needs to build up a feeling of control. It would be great for her to to talk to a medical expert and find out her the long-term prognosis of stopping these drinks. \"The headaches etc will go away. She was clearly able to stop the gambling. \"She needs to think she can apply the same strength of character she did to the gambling. \"There is a way out of it. She has got the strength there to stop.\" Kawther Hasham, nutritionist for Sugar Action, says: \"The levels of sugar in some energy drinks are excessively high. The consequence of that is an increase in body weight. That leads to increased risk of obesity and type 2 diabetes. \"One other element is the impact on dental health. There is nothing in human diet that has as much impact as sugar on your teeth. Someone who drinks this amount of fizzy drinks is bound to have tooth decay. \"It's concerning because you need other nutrients from other different food groups and just by having one meal there is concern. In these drinks there are no nutrients at all, they are just empty calories that have no nutritional value. \"And with the caffeine there is an element of addiction and the consequence of insomnia, lack of sleep, lack of restorative sleep. \"As a result she is probably staying up and burning more calories but that is not particularly healthy.\"",

            "input": "By Steven McIntoshEntertainment reporter He is seen slumped on the couch. Unshaven. Exhausted. Bob is struggling to get his head around his son's maths homework. His teenage daughter is having romantic trouble. And his baby boy needs constant attention. \"I just need a little 'me time',\" he says. It's the kind of sentiment we're used to hearing from on-screen mothers, but less often from dads. However, one reason the sequel to 2004's The Incredibles has caught the attention of critics, and the imagination of audiences, is the role reversal at its core. The Incredibles 2, released in the UK this weekend, sees mother Helen - or Elastigirl, to use her superhero alter-ego - go out to fight crime, while father Bob stays at home to look after the family. \"The gender role-swap is pulled off with an explicit sensitivity and awareness of the issues at play,\" wrote Scott Mendelson in Forbes. \"While Bob initially struggles with his Mr Mom role and is a little jealous that his wife is essentially living out his fantasy, he quickly comes to terms with it and adapts to his new family-rearing responsibilities.\" The Incredibles 2 sees Helen become the face of a campaign to \"make superheroes legal again\" and fight a new villain known as ScreenSlaver. Her husband's recklessness and tendency to say \"the insurance will cover it\" as he causes carnage in the name of fighting crime is precisely why Elastigirl, with her less damaging and costly approach, is chosen to rebuild the reputation of superheroes. Actress Holly Hunter, who voices the character, says she hopes the film opens the minds of both audiences and those within the film industry. \"This is something we need to have in our cinema, in our lives, in our reference points, in our goals,\" Hunter tells BBC News. \"For a woman to lead, for a woman to be able to be the problem solver in the room, I think there's nothing but good that can come from that.\" It may be an unusual family set-up for a Hollywood film, but it hasn't put audiences off. Since its release last month, The Incredibles 2 has already become the highest-grossing animated film of all time in the US, overtaking the previous record held by Finding Dory. Its box office success is arguably down to the 14-year gap between the first and second films. In addition to the families buying tickets for young children, the nostalgia factor is attracting millennials who were kids when the first film came out. There is continuity with the first film - all the voice actors have returned to reprise their roles, while Brad Bird is once again in the director's chair. But, Hunter says: \"Brad is not a message film-maker, he doesn't make message movies, and I don't think that was his intention with this at all. \"But I do feel that a result of the movie - whether it's a purposeful result or not doesn't even matter - the rush that you get from seeing a woman hero is kind of emotional.\" She goes on: \"I think audiences feel a certain gestalt seeing a female act heroically. And still remain female. Still remain a woman, not a woman who's trying to be a man. Who's very much in her own element.\" Seeing a man staying home to care for his family arguably shouldn't be unusual in 2018 - although statistics show they are still firmly in the minority in the UK. There are around 235,000 stay-at-home fathers, according to the latest ONS figures, compared with 1.7 million mothers. While women who look after the family significantly outnumber men, Hunter says there are clearly enough stay-at-home dads to warrant there being more of them in Hollywood. \"I think there's such an appetite for it that is unspoken for most people, in a way that might not even be identified, that you have an appetite to see it, but we all do,\" she says. \"It feels satisfying to see a strong female, and so I think Elastigirl answers a lot of that social need, a cultural desire.\" Referring to Bob Parr's request for some \"me time\", Hunter is willing to cut him some slack. \"Proper parenting is truly heroic work,\" she says. \"So anybody who is taking care of kids, if it's a nanny, a grandmother, a brother or sister, they're going to want some 'me time' at the end of the day. \"It's unrelenting, chaotic, unimaginable work, until you do it. And genderless.\" The Incredibles 2 is released in the UK on Friday. Follow us on Facebook, on Twitter @BBCNewsEnts, or on Instagram at bbcnewsents.

The Children's Commissioner for Wales said a pupil contacted her in November 2019 with concerns her complaints had not led to Mr Belfield's sacking. But Sally Holland also said there had been a \"change of culture\" at the school since the change in management. Ms Holland said she held a meeting after the girl had approached her in which she asked what could be done about Mr Belfield. \"The meeting really highlighted regulatory gaps... there was nothing in between advising and reporting and removing registration,\" Ms Holland told a child sex abuse inquiry. \"The disappointing thing is that this is a gap which has been known for many years.\" Representatives from the Welsh Government, Care Inspectorate Wales (CIW) and Estyn also gave evidence to the inquiry. Chris Jones, deputy director of support for learners for the Welsh Government, said he asked Ruthin School for an action plan in 2016 following targeted inspections by Estyn and CIW which both raised a number of concerns about safeguarding. He agreed there were weaknesses within the current system, but other than closing the school, no other options were open to the Welsh Government. The inquiry heard evidence that Mr Belfield had a controlling influence at Ruthin, where teachers were afraid to speak openly during inspections and were deterred from joining unions. The school's social media policy prohibited any staff member other than Mr Belfield contacting pupils on those platforms. Mr Belfield was dismissed after Estyn found pupils were \"at risk of harm\" because of safeguarding failures. Ms Holland also told the hearing she was concerned Mr Belfield had set up an online school since his dismissal. She said he is unable to be struck off the teaching register because he is a non-qualified teacher. The inquiry continues.",

The 56-year-old told the panel he had been sacked after he raised concerns. Clarks refutes this, saying Mr Shearwood was fired due to his conduct at work. On Monday, the panel heard allegations he had made sexist, racist and homophobic comments. Mr Shearwood is claiming unfair dismissal for the way he was forced to quit the family-owned firm last year. Addressing the company's financial position, he said: \"My concern is we would be trading insolvent and we should go to the shareholders as they would lose their assets. \"I believe we had a duty of care to tell the shareholders who should know the state of the business was dire.\" Employment judge Derek Reed asked why he had not approached shareholders directly. Mr Shearwood said that in his role he reported to chairman Tom O'Neil, who controlled the board, and he would have been fired for going straight to shareholders. 'Tried to influence him' Judge Reed said: \"If you're saying Mr O'Neil was trying to suppress this, and that was the wrong thing, why didn't you do the right thing and tell the shareholders? \"Are you saying you were afraid of being sacked?\" Mr Shearwood replied: \"Yes.\" He added: \"My method of working with him was to try to influence him and make him do the right thing.\" He told the panel he had not raised any issues at a formal board meeting due to concerns about how Mr O'Neil would react. Mr Shearwood also claimed Mr O'Neil had asked employee Ed Hayes to alter minutes of meetings and destroy evidence. Mr Hayes subsequently resigned.

A three-day trial heard one of the victim's supervisors say he was \"trembling and shaking\" when he reported the incident to her. Donnelly was ordered to pay £800 and will be under supervision of the social work department for eight months. After being found guilty of sexual assault in December, the 65-year-old was placed on the sex offenders register, resigned from the Scottish Conservatives, and was removed from all council committees. There have also been calls for Donnelly's resignation as a councillor. Speaking outside court, he said: \"I have got a lot of options to take and consider now. \"It's been a very challenging 15 months for me and I'm going to take some more advice and leave all options open.\" The victim - who cannot be named for legal reasons - said Donnelly approached him, made comments about him being good-looking, and asked him questions about where he was from. 'Face up' to actions A witness told Aberdeen Sheriff Court that her co-worker said he had felt like he was \"sexually abused\". Defence lawyer David Sutherland said his client's position was simply that the allegations did not take place, and denied any impropriety. However, Sheriff Ian Wallace described the evidence as \"overwhelming\", and was satisfied the contact was sexual. Sentencing, Sheriff Wallace said Donnelly's actions were \"entirely inappropriate\". 'Consider his position' He said the supervision order should help him \"face up\" to his actions. Donnelly was previously part of the ruling Conservative, Labour and independent administration. The political make-up of the council is expected to be discussed at a meeting of the full council in March. Aberdeen City Council co-leader and Conservative Douglas Lumsden said: \"I think he should really consider his position. He's no longer part of the administration.\" SNP group leader Alex Nicoll said: \"I think the only option that's now open is for him to do the right thing and resign.\" Lib Dem group leader Ian Yuill said: \"Councillor Donnelly should have resigned as a councillor on the day he was convicted.\"",

            "input": "By Helen BriggsBBC News French researchers say neonicotinoid pesticides harm individual honeybees, but whole colonies are able to recover in the wild. This accounts for discrepancies between lab and field studies, they report in Royal Society journal Proceedings B. A Europe-wide ban on neonicotinoid use on flowering crops is due to be reviewed at the end of the year. It was introduced two years ago. The debate over the use of neonics has centred on discrepancies between toxicity assessments in the laboratory, where bees are dosed artificially with insecticide, and the findings of field trials in the countryside. The big unanswered question is whether harmful effects seen in lab studies occur in real-life conditions and cause population declines. The new research provides an explanation for the \"missing link\", say French researchers. Their monitoring of tagged honeybees in the wild suggests bees foraging around treated crops die off at a faster rate than normal. However, colonies are able to make up for those dying off by boosting the number of worker bees in the hive. Lead researcher Dr Mickael Henry of the French National Institute for Agricultural Research, INRA, in Avignon, said the average life expectancy for an individual honeybee foraging on crops treated with neonics is lower than expected. He told BBC News: \"We could find evidence of troubles at the individual scale in the field but these troubles were compensated for by the colonies. \"The population inside the hive was able to compensate for the increased loss of worker honeybees by increasing brood production.\" Dr Scott Hayward of the University of Birmingham, who was not connected with the study, said the work \"re-ignites arguments to ban neonics\", and similar studies are now needed on other pollinator species. His comments were echoed by Dr Christopher Connolly of the University of Dundee. \"It is important to remember that all other insect pollinators do not possess the enormous buffering capacity of honeybees and are therefore more acutely at risk to the impact of pesticides,\" he said. Dr Peter Campbell of the pesticide manufacturer Syngenta said while the study raised unanswered questions \"reassuringly... there were still no effects reported at the colony level\". And Dr Alan Dewar of Dewar Crop Protection Ltd, added: \"The conclusions from this work, which are very simple in contrast to the study itself, show that bees, or at least honey bees, can compensate for adverse effects of pesticides in their environment.\" Emergency lifting Bees are in decline in Europe and North America due to a number of factors, including pesticides, habitat loss and diseases. Neonicotinoids contain synthetic chemicals similar to nicotine, which as a plant toxin is damaging to insects. In the UK, the government has temporarily lifted a ban on neonicotinoid pesticides in parts of England. Two neonicotinoid pesticides can be used in four counties on oilseed rape crops following an emergency application by the National Farmers Union. The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs said the EU Commission had introduced precautionary restrictions on neonicotinoids from December 2013, which the UK had fully implemented. A spokesman added: \"The Government makes decisions on pesticides based on the recommendations of senior scientists and independent experts who have looked at the best available scientific evidence. \"The Commission has now begun a review of the science relating to neonicotinoids and bees, and the UK will contribute fully to this review.\"",

They said he may have been planning to escape instead of shooting himself dead, but did not give further details. It is not yet known why he opened fire on an open-air concert, committing the worst shooting in modern US history. Clark County Sheriff Joseph Lombardo told a press conference that: But he said Paddock's motivations and whether there were any possible accomplices remained a mystery. The FBI's Aaron Rouse said so far no link to terrorism had been found but they would continue to \"look at all avenues\" without \"closing any doors\" because it was \"an ongoing investigation\". \"We don't understand it yet,\" Sheriff Lombardo told reporters, but questioned whether he could have accomplished his plan by himself. \"You've got to make the assumption he had to have some help at some point,\" he said. Ms Danley, who spoke to the FBI on Wednesday, expressed shock at the \"horrible unspeakable acts of violence\" Paddock had committed. Paddock \"never said anything to me or took any action\" which she understood as a warning of what was to come, she said in a statement read by her lawyer. Ms Danley added: \"I loved him and hoped for a quiet future together.\" US authorities named Ms Danley a \"person of interest\" in their investigation and said they had made contact with her shortly after the shooting. Ms Danley voluntarily flew back to Los Angeles from the Philippines on Tuesday night to speak to the FBI, just over two weeks after Paddock had surprised her with a \"cheap ticket\" to enable her to visit her family. While there, he wired her $100,000 (£75,400), explaining it was to buy a house. \"I was grateful, but honestly I was worried it was a way for him to break up with me,\" she said. \"It never occurred to me in any way whatsoever that he was planning violence against anyone.\" Her sister earlier told Australian outlet 7News that Ms Danley \"was sent away... so that she will not be there to interfere with what he's planning\". Paddock checked into a suite in the Mandalay Bay Hotel on 28 September, reportedly using some of Ms Danley's identity documents. US President Donald Trump, who visited the city on Wednesday, said \"America is truly a nation in mourning\" in the wake of the mass killings. Hundreds of people were injured in the attack. President Trump praised the emergency services who battled to save as many as they could, despite the danger to themselves. \"When the worst of humanity strikes - and strike it did - the best of humanity responds,\" he said as he applauded injured officers. \"In the depths of horror, we will always find hope in the men and women who risk their lives for ours,\" he added. Mr Trump said he was in the \"company of heroes\" after visiting the first responders. \"Words cannot describe the bravery that the whole world witnessed on Sunday night,\" he said. \"Americans defied death and hatred with love and with courage.\" Will the attack prompt more demand for gun control? The shooting has prompted calls for reform to US gun laws. But Mr Trump - who has been backed by the National Rifle Association, and spoke often of protecting gun rights during his campaign - has tried to steer clear of leaning too far either way.

Shoppers around the world are being encouraged to use smartphones instead of cards to pay for in-store purchases. Alibaba's Alipay currently dominates China's electronic payments market. Apple confirmed its expansion into China on its website. \"You can now support Apple Pay for your customers in China, providing an easy, secure, and private way for them to pay using their China UnionPay credit and debit cards,\" the firm said. Apple's head Tim Cook later announced the launch of Apple Pay in China early on Thursday via his Weibo account. Several reports have indicated that as many as 20 China-based lenders will be supporting Apple Pay, including the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC). ICBC had not responded to written inquiries on Thursday, however. Growing market There has been a rapid take-up of smartphones in China, with an estimated 68% of the population now owning one - and digital wallets are becoming a more popular way to pay for goods and services. UnionPay's alliance with Apple is an extension of its plans to make the most of that growing market. However, analyst Bryan Ma of research firm IDC told the BBC that Apple was likely to garner a smaller user base in China compared to competitors like AliPay and Tencent's WeChat Payment. \"This is in part because Alibaba and Tencent payment systems are used for more things, like money transfers, whereas Apple Pay might be limited to just retail point-of-sale and possibly App Store transactions for now,\" he explained. \"There will be a natural, gravitational pull though for some people to Apple Pay - particularly people in big cities - because of Apple's brand. So they will be able to attract a selected customer base that way.\" Mr Ma said another issue was that Apple Pay would use the Near Field Communication (NFC) method of contactless communication, rather than the barcode-like method of electronic payments using QR codes. QR codes were widely used by Apple Pay's China-based competitors like Alipay, Mr Ma said, and could reach a wider market because more phones could read them compared to phones that could read NFC tags. By 2017 it is estimated the global mobile payments market will be worth some $1tn (£650bn).

The first minister also knows that it is extremely unlikely that any incoming prime minister would give their approval for another indyref. We may not know who the next Tory leader is going to be - but you can be sure that any candidate who wants to secure the votes of Conservative members in Scotland will need to firmly rule out allowing a second referendum anytime soon. So why is Ms Sturgeon going ahead with preparations for a referendum that seems unlikely to happen within her preferred timescale of the second half of next year? She says that the UK government is currently in such chaos it is not possible to predict what their future policy on anything might be. And she warns that denying Scottish voters the right to make a choice about whether they want to live in an independent country is not only undemocratic but also politically unsustainable And that is the argument you will keep hearing from the SNP. That to deny a vote exposes what they describe as the \"democratic deficit\" facing Scotland. They hope to stir frustration and anger amongst voters, even those who don't currently support independence, that they should not be told what they can and cannot do by a prime minister in London. Amongst those who do passionately support independence there is impatience to get on with it. Huge marches demanding another referendum are a reasonably frequent occurrence in Scottish towns and cities and Nicola Sturgeon needs to give some hope to her most enthusiastic foot soldiers that another vote is coming. Or at least that she is doing everything she can to hasten the day that they will get to have their say. The risk is that while she may be able to gradually build the case that Westminster should not be allowed to block another independence vote, she may not be able to do so quickly enough to satisfy many of her grassroots.

Jurors heard Rowlands, 23, later had drugs and pizza delivered there before phoning 999 over a day later. At Cardiff Crown Court Judge Daniel Williams jailed him for a minimum of 16 years. Judge Daniel Williams said Rowlands had \"contemplated\" killing Lauren for more than a year. Ms Griffiths, from Oswestry, Shropshire, was described as happy, bubbly and popular in court. In contrast, her fiancé was described as self-absorbed and remorseless. Rowlands strangled Ms Griffiths to death, wrapped her body in tape and clingfilm and then ordered drugs and takeaway pizza to be delivered to their Glynrhondda Street flat. The court heard the couple were due to marry a month after he killed her, and had planned a Pagan ceremony. Ms Griffiths was said to be excited to be marrying Rowlands in a ceremony at Stonehenge, in line with his beliefs. After killing his fiancée, Rowlands sent a text message to his drug dealer placing a \"big order\" for cannabis and ecstasy. He withdrew cash from Ms Griffiths' bank accounts, ordered drugs, takeaways from Subway and Dominos and tried to set up a Netflix account on his phone. 'Killed by mistake' His trial heard Rowlands waited more than a day before calling 999 with the aid of what the court heard was a script. Rowlands lied to police, saying he killed Ms Griffiths \"by mistake\". He claimed to be defending himself and then lost consciousness. The court heard he had attacked Ms Griffiths in exactly the same way the year before, admitting to police he had tried to strangle her after she had broken his laptop. Jurors were told Ms Griffiths did not want to attend court after the attack, instead she wanted her fiancé \"to get help\". The court was read victim statements from Ms Griffiths' parents, Alison Turner and Jason Griffiths. Mrs Turner said: \"As a family we have lost a precious daughter and sister.\" She said Lauren \"had plans for the future that have sadly been lost forever\". She added: \"All we have left is our precious memories of someone we loved dearly.\" 'Helpless to save her' Mr Griffiths said his life had \"changed forever\" since their daughter's death. \"Knowing your child has died is horrific enough but to know someone else has taken their life takes things to another level.\" He said he had \"heard things no parent should ever hear about their child\". He added: \"Since Lauren died, I started to have nightmares and trouble sleeping. The nightmares always ended the same, with Lauren's passing and me helpless to save her.\" Related Internet Links HM Courts Service",

She was found by a neighbour on 11 February 1993 and died 11 days later. Police believe somebody knew the identity of the person who killed the \"frail and vulnerable old lady\". The fatal assault happened just over 18 months after widow Mrs Shelley was the victim of a violent robbery at her home. Police said £12,637 was stolen from her bungalow on that occasion and during the second incident the offender was \"looking for valuables to take\". The original investigation saw 70 officers working on the case, a £10,000 reward for information and a Crimewatch appeal but despite several arrests no-one was caught. Andy Guy, major crime review team manager for Norfolk and Suffolk Police, said: \"She was a vulnerable old lady, she was 82 years old, she was living alone, had previously been a victim of a robbery and a significant amount of money was taken. \"Is that linked to the second offence? Maybe.\" Police said they were reviewing the 397 exhibits taken during the original investigation. These include household objects which might have been touched by the offender, Mrs Shelley's clothing and items taken from people under arrest. A 'Churchillian recluse' It was to former Martlesham policeman Frank Ryder's door that Doris Shelley came when she was first attacked. The animal lover had been locked in the bathroom and had climbed out of the window. He continued to do welfare checks after that incident but, although still living in the Martlesham police house, had been posted out to Felixstowe when she was fatally attacked. Mr Ryder described Mrs Shelley, who had been widowed in her 20s, as \"fiercely independent\" with an \"indomitable spirit\". \"She was almost Churchillian, 'I've lost my husband, I live alone, I'm not going to let it beat me and I can do it without anybody's help',\" he said. Mr Guy said they were trying to enhance the intelligence gathered 25 years ago. \"Science has moved on and we're now able to take advantage of things that weren't available in 1993,\" he said. \"We're looking at all those exhibits and seeing if there's any potential to bring to justice whoever was responsible for Doris's murder.\" Lines of inquiry included linking the attack to an assault on a postmistress in nearby Eyke the previous year, but police said the two were not linked forensically. A red car, possibly a Ford Sierra, was also spotted in the vicinity, police said. Mrs Shelley's bungalow was later demolished and the land sold. The money went to the World Wildlife Fund, police said.",

Finance Secretary Mark Drakeford told AMs the deal was signed before a profit warning in July, when the process was paused for officials to investigate. But he said the collapse of Carillion would have \"little impact\" on Wales. Answering an urgent question in the Senedd on Tuesday, Mr Drakeford said: \"The whole business of awarding a contract had been completed before the profits warning on July 10, but the contract letters had not been sent out to the company.\" Those letters were withheld \"and a further set of investigations were carried out with Carillion PLC to determine if there were risks that needed to be identified,\" the minister said. \"So there was a further period of due diligence in which formal assurances were sought and obtained from the company. \"Officials who were responsible for carrying out that assessment believed that the necessary assurances had been obtained.\" Labour MPs have attacked the UK government for continuing to award contracts to Carillion, despite last year's warnings. Mr Drakeford said the Welsh Labour administration had \"always been alert to the dangers of a way of conducting business in which profit is privatised and risk is socialised\". There were also questions about how Carillion's collapse would affect the awarding of a major railway contract. The firm was a partner in a bid, led by Abellio, to operate the next Wales and Borders rail franchise and build the South Wales Metro. Plaid Cymru AM Adam Price asked whether the Welsh Government had discussed contingency plans with Abellio, one of three consortiums competing for the rail contract, after two further profit warnings about Carillion in 2017. Mr Drakeford told AMs the Welsh government was taking legal advice on whether the collapse would have any impact on the franchise process. Later, on Twitter, Mr Price said: \"It seems - based on Labour Government's answers today - increasingly likely now that there will be just two bidders left in the Wales & Borders Franchise. Real negligence that contingency plans for Carillion collapse not put in place with Abellio as part of competitive dialogue.\" On Monday, UK Cabinet Office Minister David Lidington told MPs there was \"minimum exposure\" in Wales to the collapse of Carillion. \"There are about 40 Carillion workers in Wales but they don't work on any public sector contracts\", he said. \"Carillion have been sub-contractors to two contracts in Wales for a design phase and they were bidding as a sub-contractor to a rail contract.\" Analysis by Sarah Dickins, BBC Wales economics correspondent Carillion only plays a very small role within the Welsh economy. That is partly because Wales has not embraced PFI (private finance initiative) funding models with the enthusiasm seen in England. Last September, Mark Drakeford said there had only been 23 schemes in Wales - and \"very, very little new PFI in the devolution era\" - with 21 of those schemes belonging to local authorities and the NHS, and not the direct responsibility of the Welsh Government. Carillion, however, has had some limited presence in Wales. The Welsh Government awarded it the contract for design work for the A40 at Llanddewi in Pembrokeshire. The company was also involved with a section of the A55 between Bangor and Holyhead, for UK Highways, before devolution. Then last year the Welsh Government awarded the design work to Carillion for development of the A55 between junctions 15 and 16 in Conwy county. Perhaps the biggest question mark in Wales hangs over Carillion's relationship with the Dutch firm Abellio. They were partners in one of three consortia bidding for the all-Wales rail franchise which includes the South Wales Metro. The Welsh Government, whose Transport for Wales arm will determine who wins the contract, says it is seeking legal advice now that Carillion has gone into liquidation. Carillion is working on the electrification of the main rail line west from London Paddington as far as Bristol. What we do not know is whether some of that work has been given to sub-contractors from Wales and whether there may be any medium-term impact to the Welsh economy because of that. The Official Receiver - PwC - is advising Carillion workers and subcontractors to continue to work as normal. PwC's advice to contractors is that they will get paid for goods and services they supply from the date the Official Receiver was appointed.",

Motorists are advised to plan their route carefully and avoid lowland areas near rivers, says Peter Rodger, chief examiner at the Institute for Advanced Motoring. But if you are confronted by flooding or large pools on the road, how should you react? Slow down to give yourself time to assess how deep the water is and whether it is moving, Rodger says. A good rule of thumb is not to enter water more than six inches deep, or four inches if it is moving, he adds. For a vehicle with high clearance like a 4x4 this may be slightly higher. Risks include shorting the electrics, flooding the engine, underwater obstructions or being swept away. If you can't see where you are going to come out of the water, consider turning round. Enter the water slowly so that only your front wheels are submerged. If you feel the water is moving, reverse out before you become stuck. Drive on the shallowest section of the road. Leave space to avoid swamping others. Don't go too fast - it risks letting water into the engine. Keep the revs high to stop water entering the exhaust. Stay in first gear and drive at walking pace - about 2-3mph. Use the clutch to allow greater revving. On an automatic use the brakes to achieve the same effect. Never take your foot off the accelerator, Rodger warns. Once out of the water, lightly brake to dry the brakes. If you do get stuck, unless your life is in danger, ring for help before leaving the vehicle, Rodger says. Even this advice could be in vain, warned the Telegraph. \"Giant 4x4s or trucks racing though in the opposite direction can create such bow waves they drown your car.\" Aquaplaning occurs when there is water on the road surface, you are travelling fast, and the tyres lose their grip. It needn't be deep water. It feels like you're on black ice as you lose steering control, Rodger says. You should ease off on the power. But on no account turn the steering wheel. If you turn the wheel and the tyres suddenly grip again the car can go into a spin, Rodger says. There are two lessons drivers should heed if they aquaplane - you're going too fast and your tyres may be worn. Follow @BBCNewsMagazine on Twitter and on Facebook",

That, at least, is the premise of this origin movie, which could just as well have been called Captain Millennial. Our photon-fisted all-action hero is a tech-savy, civic-minded, self-improver with identity issues. Captain Marvel (Brie Larson), or Kree alien Vers as she is called when we first meet her, doesn't know who she is. Constant flashbacks to past events suggest there's more to her than her Kree colleagues are letting on. But it's all a bit of a fog, as are the first 10 minutes of the movie. Vers is being schooled in the art of combat by Kree Starforce commander Yon-Rogg (a yellow-eyed Jude Law), who is trying to help her be the \"best version of herself\", by mansplaining to the wilful wannabe-superhero the classic philosophical trope of not letting her heart rule her head. She has to get a handle on her emotions and fiery fists, he insists, before Supreme Intelligence (Annette Bening) will allow her to go out on a mission to fight the Kree's arch enemy: the shape-shifting, lizard-eared, identity-snatching Skrulls. She doesn't have to wait long. The directing duo behind the camera, Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck, have a film to get on with and hi-fi sci-fi fight sequences to deliver. You can sense them frantically priming their cinematic canvas: arranging players, establishing storylines, and giving MCU's \"first stand-alone, female-franchise title character\" a personality. The film only starts to find its feet when Vers loses hers and crash lands in Los Angeles, circa 1995. Cue a nostalgia fest as the Woman Who Fell to Earth through the roof of a Blockbuster Video store picks herself up (a recurring theme) before picking out a VHS of The Right Stuff - the Tom Wolfe-written Philip Kaufman-directed 1983 film about the pioneering Mercury Seven astronauts. The shot lasts for only a few seconds but it carries some weight. It is more than an amusing aside about the film rental choice of a visiting alien. It's a significant clue to discovering her past. And a mark of the subtlety brought by both Brie Larson and the directors to a genre not always recognised for understatement... Enter S.H.I.E.L.D agent Nick Fury, a digitally \"de-aged\" Samuel L Jackson, who appears not only impossibly fresh-faced but also without the character's trademark eye patch. Given the time and place in which the action is set, and the film's retro vibe and pop-culture call-backs, there's the tantalising possibility of Fury bumping into Jules Winnfield (the hitman Jackson played in Pulp Fiction) proclaiming \"The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men.\" And aliens, he should have added. Because Agent Fury is caught between the Krees and the Skrulls who are having it out on Earth - or Planet C-53 as they call it when being polite - he is destined to be collateral damage if he doesn't do something sharpish. The laborious set-up is complete. Vers, or, more accurately Carol Danvers of the United States Air Force, as she soon discovers, buddies up with Fury and the film takes off like its namesake. There are twists and turns and a spot of soul-searching as Danvers realises she has to shed who she thought she was, to become who she is, Captain Marvel. It is a journey that the Oscar-winning Brie Larson tackles with real skill. Playing an insecure, self-doubting, slightly lost superhero is not an easy trick to pull off: vulnerability and invincibility don't generally go hand-in-hand. The fact that Larson convincingly portrays both, simultaneously, is testament to her talent and those with whom she interacts, particularly Jackson, Ben Mendelsohn as Skrull leader Talos, and Lashana Lynch who plays Maria Rambeau: a single mother, a flying ace and Danvers's best friend. There is one small snag, however. Once the '90s visual jokes, the Top Gun references (among which is a star turn by an orange cat called Goose), and Agent Fury one-liners have run their course, the actual action adventure plot driving the film forward is fatally exposed: it is about as exciting as watching Windows 95 load. The interior life of Carol Danvers, which ranges from self-discovery to a philosophical questioning about the nature of female empowerment, overshadows all else and makes the action sequences appear as afterthoughts. Maybe that is the trajectory of Marvel movies: more introspection, less action. We'll find out soon enough when Avengers returns next month featuring Brie Larson as Captain Marvel. Has she done for the #MeToo movement what Black Panther did for African American cinema? Is Captain Marvel as culturally significant as that first ever Oscar-winning MCU film? No, in short. It is not as good a film. I very much doubt it will follow in Black Panther's award-wining footsteps.

            "input": "By Lauren TurnerEntertainment & arts reporter But these were no dramatic visions of bright lights, accompanied by the sound of celestial angels. And nor is she particularly unlucky. Instead, she believes these near-misses are all part and parcel of the human experience - and she wants to \"normalise\" them for the sake of her young daughter, whose severe allergies necessitate hospital dashes several times a year. That's not to say that some of O'Farrell's brushes with death - as recollected in her unconventional memoir I Am, I Am, I Am - don't leave your heart in your mouth as you read about them. They included: They also leave you feeling that it could have been you. Or, that things could have been very different for O'Farrell. The fact that they weren't is why she wanted to tell her story, having previously vowed to never write about her private life. And when she did decide she wanted to write I Am, I Am, I Am (its title comes from a Sylvia Plath poem), she refused to take an advance, settling on a token £1 when her agent insisted for legal reasons. She jokes she spent it all on a supermarket trolley. \"In a way, the format I chose - to describe a life through this one type of experience - allowed me to reveal almost as much as I conceal,\" she says from her home in Edinburgh, where she lives with her husband and three children. \"There's a lot I don't say in the book - even if I can join the dots between those things, others can't.\" The best-selling author has published seven novels to date. She has been nominated for the Costa Novel Award three times and won it in 2010 for her book The Hand that First Held Mine. Meanwhile, her novel The Distance Between Us won a Somerset Maugham Award. \"I'm in my 40s now. And I don't like the phrase mid-life crisis, but I do think that when you reach that point, you start to look back at things you didn't think about at the time, especially when you are bringing up children and what they're going to experience.\" It was especially the experiences of her middle child that sparked the idea for I Am, I Am, I Am. \"The book started as a project for her. She has a life-threatening medical condition. She has a lot of brushes with death herself. \"She has this very extreme allergic reaction which we can usually allay but sometimes we can't. She has an awful lot to cope with for someone her age. \"I wanted to make sense of it for her and for myself - the challenges of parenting a child. You have to metabolise the trauma and give it back to them in an acceptable form.\" O'Farrell says she wanted to tell her eight-year-old daughter: \"You can have a full life and be all you want to be, even with all this happening.\" And as to why she chose to write it as a memoir, she says there is a \"human need for narrative - a need to explain the inexplicable\". So when her daughter was in hospital, O'Farrell told her about the time she was in hospital as a child, with encephalitis - a condition the doctors feared would kill her, or at least leave her in a wheelchair. So does she think she has more near-death experiences than other people? Because 17 does sound like a lot. \"I think I've probably had more than most people,\" she muses. \"I thought it was quite normal but when I've told people the title (the full title being I Am, I Am, I Am - Seventeen Brushes With Death), they've said 'what??'. \"So maybe it's not normal after all. \"A lot of them are linked to the illness I had.\" She opens up about the aftermath of the condition, which caused issues relating to balance and perception. One that wasn't linked to the encephalitis, though, and which opens the memoir, is shocking - an encounter on a secluded path with a man who she feels has been waiting for her, who looms forward with his binocular straps. Before writing this book, she had only ever told her husband about it. \"It's a strange one - and it came out of a conversation with my daughter. She said she wanted to go walking, just her and me. \"At that point, I thought I'm going to have to tell her the story, to say I'd prefer you not to go hiking alone. So I dropped her off at school and came home to write it - but I didn't think I'd show it to anyone. \"Of the people who've read the book, it's amazing how many women say to me, not in as extreme a way, but 'yes' - they had a story that's the same. \"It's something that women have to develop a sense of, when they're safe and when they're not. You have to develop it at a young age.\" Feeling lucky But after all this - does she feel lucky? \"I feel immensely lucky! I have a job I love, three children I absolutely adore. I feel incredibly blessed and incredibly fortunate to have survived.\" Is she someone who takes risks? She says yes, but... \"I think I'm much less like that now I've had children. Especially the way we live, with my daughter's issues, where we have to be vigilant all of the time. I could never take her anywhere in the world that doesn't have first-class medical care. \"But I wouldn't say I'm a cautious or anxious person at all. I'm the one to say - 'Climb that tree! Go higher!\"",

Those convicted of murder included the headteacher Nusrat had accused of harassment and two female classmates. Her murder shocked the country and led to a series of protests demanding justice for Nusrat. The trial has been one of the quickest in a country where such cases usually take years to conclude. Prosecutor Hafez Ahmed told reporters it proved \"that nobody will get away with murder in Bangladesh\". However, the quick conclusion of the case did little to ease her mother's agony on Thursday. \"I can't forget her for a moment,\" Shirin Akhtar told news agency Reuters through tears upon hearing the verdict. \"I still feel the pain that she went through.\" Lawyers for the defendants say they will appeal. The investigation into Nusrat's death revealed a conspiracy to silence her which included her own classmates and a number of powerful men from within the community. Three teachers, including the headmaster, Siraj Ud Doula, who police say ordered the killing from prison after he was arrested under suspicion of harassment, were found guilty by the court on Thursday. Another two of the defendants convicted, Ruhul Amin and Maksud Alam, are local leaders of the ruling Awami League party. A number of local police were found to have collaborated with those convicted in spreading false information that Nusrat had committed suicide. The officers were not among those tried for Nusrat's murder. Nusrat's family, who supported her decision to go to police back in March, have since been given police protection. Her brother Mahmudul Hasan Noman said they were still in fear for their lives. \"You already know they threatened me in public inside the courtroom,\" he told reporters. \"I am very afraid. I am urging the prime minister to ensure our security. And the police super should also keep a track on our wellbeing.\" However, the family welcomed the verdict, asking for the sentence to be carried out quickly. In Bangladesh, the death penalty is carried out by hanging Anger, tears and a fight for justice Akbar Hossain, BBC Bengali, in Feni When the judge announced the verdict, some of the defendants burst into tears, while others shouted out across the courtroom that they had been denied justice. But in Bangladesh, it is more usually women like Nusrat who are denied justice. Sexual harassment in Bangladesh's education institutions - including madrassas like the one Nusrat attended - is widespread, while the cost of speaking out is high. What happened to Nusrat? She was lured to her school's rooftop on 6 April this year, 11 days after she reported the headmaster to police for repeatedly touching her inappropriately. Nusrat was then surrounded by four or five people wearing burqas, pressuring her to withdraw her complaint. When she refused, they set her on fire. According to police, they had hoped to make it look like a suicide. Instead, she managed to escape and get help. But knowing she was badly hurt, she gave a statement which her brother filmed on his phone. \"The teacher touched me, I will fight this crime till my last breath,\" she says, naming some of her attackers. Nusrat, who had sustained burns to 80% of her body, died four days later, on 10 April. How widespread is sexual abuse in Bangladesh? Sexual harassment is thought to be relatively commonplace in Bangladesh: a recent report by charity ActionAid earlier this year found 80% of women working in Bangladesh's garment industry have either seen or experienced sexual violence at work. Meanwhile, women's rights group Mahila Parishad said that, in the first six months of 2019, a total of 26 women were killed after being sexually assaulted, 592 were allegedly raped and 113 women said they were gang raped. However, these are just the reported figures: there are fears the true number is far higher. Speaking out like Nusrat is still uncommon as reporting sexual harassment carries risks. Victims often face judgement from their communities, harassment, in person and online, and in some cases violent attacks. Nusrat was particularly unusual because she went to the police. They filmed her statement on a mobile phone - which was later leaked to the media. Meanwhile, protesters took to the streets to demand the release of the headmaster, leading her family to fear for her safety. How did the public react to Nusrat's murder? The case sparked mass protests in Bangladesh and shone a spotlight on the vulnerability of victims of sexual assault and harassment in the country. Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina publicly pledged that \"none of the culprits will be spared from legal action\". Her interest in the case was praised by the family. \"We never imagined that justice will be ensured so fast by the prime minister,\" Mahmudul Hasan Noman told reporters. \"We want to express our gratitude to her directly in person. Hopefully she will give us a chance to do it. \" The police initially dismissed the sexual harassment allegations but laid charges against the 16 accused in May. The specially fast-tracked hearing took just 62 days to complete. Activists say the killing exposed a culture of impunity around sex crimes. Whether more victims of sexual abuse will feel emboldened to come forward following Nusrat's case remains to be seen. You may also be interested in...",

He was educated at the Quintin Kynaston Community Academy in St John's Wood, north London. The then headteacher, Jo Shuter, has told the BBC that she never suspected that the \"reasonably hardworking\" pupil would become the man we know him to be today. Emwazi was 14 when Ms Shuter arrived at the school and she found him to be a quiet young man, with caring responsibilities outside of school as the oldest of a number of siblings. \"He had adolescent issues,\" she said. \"Particularly at that age - year nine, particularly the boys, is a time when the hormones start raging, and he had some issues with being bullied, which we dealt with. \"By the time he got into the sixth form, he, to all intents and purposes, was a hardworking aspirational young man who went on to the university that he wanted to go to. \"I can't stress enough, he wasn't a huge concern to us.\" He later graduated in computing from the University of Westminster in 2009 and his final address in the UK before he went abroad was in the Queen's Park area of north-west London. Emwazi came to the attention of the security services during the same year as MI5 and other agencies monitored suspected extremists linked to foreign fighters joining al-Shabab in Somalia. 'Rough and noisy' Going by the name Muhammad ibn Muazzam, he had travelled to Tanzania with another Briton, known as \"Abu Talib\" and a third man, a German convert called \"Omar\". Once they arrived, they were denied entry and interrogated and Emwazi later claimed to Cage, a campaign group in London, that they had been subject to harassment and abuse. But a police officer in Tanzania has told the BBC that Emwazi was deported for being drunk and abusive, The officer said Emwazi \"brought chaos to the airport\" by being \"rough and noisy\" and that he behaved \"like alcohol was involved\". His behaviour led him to being refused entry to the country, along with his two friends. Emwazi later said he had been threatened at gunpoint and was told to ask the British government why he had been stopped. But Tanzanian immigration commissioner Abdullah Khamis Abdullah said no instructions had been issued from any other country to stop Emwazi. And the arresting officer said Emwazi was not tortured, as he later claimed. Cage said that Emwazi was questioned by both Dutch and British security services as he returned home via The Netherlands. The account he gave to the campaign group includes allegations that MI5 spoke to his fiancee - and she then ended the relationship. Emwazi himself was not charged with an offence. Wider network But MI5's view was that this had been no innocent post-university safari holiday. He was considered an associate of a number of high-profile suspected jihadists whom they were tracking across the world. One of them was a married man with two children whom we can only identify as \"CE\". He was placed on a control order in 2011 and forcibly relocated from London. During his legal challenge against the house-arrest style conditions, the security service's lawyers argued that his network included, amongst others, Mohammed Emwazi, \"BX\", J1 and Bilal Berjawi. All of these men were said in court to be involved in the \"provision of funds and equipment to Somalia for terrorism-related purposes and the facilitation of individuals' travel from the United Kingdom to Somalia to undertake terrorism-related activity\". BX - now known to be a man called Ibrahim Magag - went on the run and is widely thought to have reached Somalia. Bilal Berjawi, another Londoner, also succeeded in reaching the Horn of Africa. The ethnically Lebanese man had dual nationality and the Home Secretary stripped him of his British citizenship. Some time later he was killed in a US drone strike on militant targets. As for J1, in a 2013 court ruling on attempts to deport him the Court of Appeal described the Ethiopian as someone who had \"thrown in his lot with a group of Islamist extremists who are committed to terrorism\". J1 is, in turn, linked to some of the men jailed for the failed suicide attacks on London on 21 July 2005. Mohammed Emwazi timeline: Source: Cage, London-based campaign group 'Jihadi John' movement mapped Kuwait future Between late 2009 and early 2010, Mohammed Emwazi returned to Kuwait to stay with his father's family and, according to reports, look for a new life in the Middle East. The family are of Bedoon ethnicity - a group that is marginalised in Kuwaiti society. He was looking for a good computing job and was, according to Asim Qureshi of Cage, planning to marry and settle down. He spent three months working as an IT salesman before returning to the UK - but he never returned. According to Cage, he was prevented from returning to Kuwait when he was detained for six hours at Heathrow. He alleged that he was assaulted by an officer. Cage claims that he became desperate to leave the UK and that in 2013, he changed his name by deed poll to Mohammed al-Ayan and tried once more to travel to Kuwait. But he was stopped again. His parents reported him missing in August. Four months later police are said to have told the family that he was in Syria, although the family thought by now that he was doing aid work in Turkey. We do not know exactly when he entered the war zone but he was first reported to be in Idlib in the same year, assisting in guarding Western hostages. Jihadi John sightings In August 2014, he appeared in the video which shows the murder of US journalist James Foley - and then over the subsequent months, similar films showing the killing of Steve Sotloff, David Haines and Alan Henning. In none of these videos is it clear whether it is the masked man or another person off camera who kills the victims. But in November 2014, the same militant features in a hostage death video - and this time he appears to be carrying out the killing of a Syrian military officer. He also stands over the severed head of American Peter Abdulrahman Kassig. Two months later the man features in another video in which he kills the Japanese hostage, Kenji Goto. This January 2015 video was the last appearance of the masked killer. A British newspaper later reported that it had seen new footage of Emwazi \"unmasked\" - although it was unclear when the video had been shot or whether the man in it was definitely Emwazi. In her interview with the BBC, Emwazi's former headteacher Jo Shuter said: \"I can't even begin to say the shock and the horror that I feel. \"Even now when I'm listening to the news and I hear his name I feel the skin on the back of my neck stand up because it is just so far from what I knew of him and it is so shocking and so horrendous the things that he has done.\"",

It emerged at the weekend that former Celtic captain Billy McNeill has dementia and is unable to speak. His family have called for more research into possible links between heading and dementia. Mr Smith, who was chief executive of the Scottish Football Association between 2007 and 2010, played for Manchester City when Mr McNeill was the manager in the 1980s. 'More solid' He told the BBC's Good Morning Scotland programme that Mr McNeill had told him how, during his own playing career, he would regularly have someone kick 50 balls at him after training and attempt to head them as far up the park as he could. Mr Smith said: \"It came home to me once I found out the problem he had - I thought there must be some sort of correlation between what he did then and the types of ball that you had in those days, which were a lot heavier, more solid.\" Mr Smith said he did not want heading to be banned from the adult game, but added: \"I think there might be a scenario where eventually players would have to sign some sort of form that says they are not going to take action at a later date. \"A disclaimer form (saying) that if you are playing football then heading is part of the game, you accept that and you get on with it. \"I think that might be the way ahead because we don't want to see the game change - heading is a tremendous part of the game and I don't want it taken out of football.\" Memory performance Research published by Stirling University last year found \"small but significant changes in brain function\" after players headed the ball 20 times. The study found that memory performance was reduced by between 41% and 67% in the 24 hours after routine heading practice. Mr Smith said he wanted to see the potential link between brain injuries, dementia and football examined in greater detail. He pointed out that footballs are now much lighter than they were in 1950s and 60s, and that children under the age of 12 play seven-a-side games in which there is hardly any heading. But he called for Scotland to follow the American model by imposing a total ban on heading by any child under the age of 12. At the weekend, Mr McNeill's wife, Liz, told the Sunday Mail and the Scottish Sun on Sunday about her husband's battle with the degenerative brain disease since being diagnosed seen years ago. She decided to make his illness public ahead of the 50th anniversary of Mr McNeill becoming the first British captain to lift the European Cup when Celtic defeated Italian club Internazionale in Lisbon in May 1967. 'Concussive effects' Mrs McNeill said: \"I think it's the right time for us to talk about this now. Heading the ball and the possibilities of concussive effects on the brain needs more discussion. \"We don't know if Billy's dementia is linked to his football. More research needs to be done.\" Luke Griggs, of brain injury charity Headway, claimed the football authorities in the UK had been \"dragging their heels\" over the issue for years. He added: \"When it comes to heading footballs the reality is that we don't have enough evidence yet to draw a meaningful conclusion, and that is something that should have been rectified a long time ago. \"Urgent action needs to be taken now not only to give answers to families of footballers who were playing in the old era of heavy footballs, but also to give reassurance to families of children who are playing today that their kids are safe playing this sport.\" Last year, the Football Association in England said it would lead a study into possible links between football and brain diseases. It followed a campaign by the family of former England, West Brom and Notts County striker Jeff Astle, who died from brain trauma in 2002. A coroner described his illness as an \"industrial disease\", in reference to him heading leather balls during his career.

Mr Boles, Conservative MP for Grantham and Stamford, was speaking ahead of a report expected out on Friday by Monitor, the organisation which oversees health trusts. 'Penalised for flaws' It will set out detailed plans on how the trust can cut its deficit. \"The financial crisis at the Peterborough trust is intense,\" Mr Boles said. \"It is a proper catastrophe and it is a direct result of some grossly incompetent decisions made to back a PFI scheme to build the hospital in Peterborough that was based on figures that were literally totally incredible, they could never have come true. \"I just don't believe that the people of south Lincolnshire should be penalised for the flaws of some senior managers in the NHS five, six years ago.\" He called for the hospital to be transferred out of the trust to one of the Lincolnshire NHS trusts if the financial problems are not resolved.

Thompson Aero Seating saw pre-tax profits rise by 27% to almost £14m in the year ending March 2016.

'Encouraging' Almac's turnover increased from £342m to £394m and staff numbers grew to more than 3,500. It said a significant factor underlying the increased profit was the receipt of $20m (£14m) relating to the licensing of oncology and diagnostic test products. The company mainly provides services to other pharmaceutical firms, but is increasingly focused on developing its own products, mainly in cancer diagnostics. Thompson Aero's increased profit was achieved on a turnover of £65m which the firm described as \"encouraging\".

Properties in Carnoustie, Leith, Hawick, Oban, Port Glasgow, Ayr and Larkhall are among those under review. The force said it needed \"modern, flexible buildings which are fit for the future\". The list of buildings which \"do not match policing requirements\" includes some which are no longer routinely used by officers. Following the review some buildings could be retained but others could be declared \"surplus to requirements\". Police criticism In those circumstances, police officers and staff may be required to work in offices shared with other public agencies. Assistant Chief Constable Andrew Cowie said: \"It makes little sense to maintain old and expensive buildings when smaller, more collaborative options may be available.\" Details of the plans emerged in response to a Freedom of Information request from BBC Scotland. It has led to accusations of secrecy and claims that local communities have been kept in the dark about the proposals. MSP Oliver Mundell said he only learned about the threat to eight police stations in Dumfries and Galloway when he was tipped off by a constituent. \"A local resident in my constituency found out by asking a surveyor at a local police station what they were doing,\" he said. \"They were there surveying to find out how much it was worth.\" Location of police properties under review North: Broughty Ferry, Bridge of Earn, Stanley, Letham, Muirhead, Carnoustie. East: Bannockburn, Bridge of Allan, Bo'ness, Bainsford, Tullibody, Anstruther, Edinburgh High Street, Leith, Armadale, Fauldhouse, Blackburn, Gorebridge, Loanhead, Hawick, Haddington, Bonnyrigg, Newbattle.

Source: Police Scotland An estate strategy published by Police Scotland last year revealed plans to reduce floor space by up to 25%. It said the move could generate annual revenue savings of between £5m and £18m a year and property sales could raise up to £34m for the force. A total of 397 properties were operated by the force in 2013 and since then 44 have been declared surplus to requirements. In 2014, dozens of police front counters were closed in a move which was widely criticised by Scotland's main opposition parties. Under the new proposals, police officers and civilian staff may be asked to share office space with other public agencies in a system which is already operating in parts of Scotland. The first combined emergency services station opened in Tomintoul in April 2014, where police, ambulance and the fire service operate from one building. And in Cupar in Fife, police officers work alongside council staff. Police Scotland said they are consulting on the possibility of sharing the existing Hawick police station with partner agencies. However Oliver Mundell, a Scottish Conservative, fears the move could ultimately threaten the visible presence of police officers in local communities. \"Of the stations that are closing in Dumfries and Galloway, Police Scotland's justification is that they're not routinely manned,\" he said. \"Two or three years ago [when they closed the front counters], they promised the stations would stay open. \"The problem with the proposal to share space is that two or three years down the line, they'll see that they're not being used, then they'll be removed all together.\" Green MSP John Finnie, a former police officer who sits on Holyrood's justice committee, said it was \"entirely right\" that public agencies assess their property portfolio. 'Shocking state' But he added: \"If this is part of a further withdrawal from communities, that would be very worrying... When I look at the list and I see Oban, Campbeltown, Taynuilt, Lochgilphead, where are these alternative facilities?\" Gordon Crossan, the president of the Association of the Scottish Police Superintendents, told the BBC's Good Morning Scotland programme that Police Scotland was facing \"significant budget challenges\" and that many stations were in a \"shocking state of disrepair\". \"Many of these stations are already obsolete, they're expensive to run, they've limited facilities, so we're reviewing that to see what could provide a better service for the public for the money that they give us to deliver policing,\" he said. Last month Calum Steele, the general secretary of the Scottish Police Federation, raised concerns about the \"crumbling police estate\". He told the SNP conference that patrol cars were being held together with duct tape and cable ties, while interview suites for sex assault victims were damp with mouldy carpets. In response to BBC Scotland's findings, he said: \"The standard of the police estate in many areas is nothing short of scandalous. \"Decades of neglect have left the new service with responsibility to rectify the mistakes of the past. \"That being said the service needs to appreciate the public value their police stations and must ensure police services are maintained in all of our communities.\" Assistant Chief Constable Andrew Cowie said the review of Police Scotland's estate would enable the force to enhance it service for local communities. \"Police Scotland needs buildings which are modern, flexible and fit for future policing across the wide range of communities we serve,\" he said. \"The existing estate has evolved over the course of the last 100 years and in some cases it no longer fits the demands of 2016 or the needs of communities.\" 'Quality service' He added: \"The SPA estate strategy sets out a framework which has the service to local communities at its heart, with a visible and accessible policing service which works effectively with local partners as the drivers for any future change. \"Engagement will be carried out by local policing teams to ensure any future decisions are built upon local consultation with communities and partners to ensure our estate continues to meet our needs and the needs of the public. \" The Scottish government said decisions around operational policing were a matter for Police Scotland \"working in partnership with individual communities across the country\". A spokesman added: \"This government has made clear that we w‎ish to see the community focus of policing further strengthened. \"That is why we have engaged extensively with local government and with communities themselves on our new Strategic Police Priorities which were published on 5 October and have localism at their core.\"",

He says his protest is about police refusing to crack down on a drug and prostitution ring - police deny this. His anti-corruption Aam Aadmi Party has demanded more control over police. Mr Kejriwal took over as Delhi's chief minister earlier this month after his party won 28 of the 70 seats in recent elections on a pledge to fight corruption and clean up politics. But Delhi's police force is run by the federal government and so Mr Kejriwal was on his way to the home minister's office to demand the suspension of a number of policemen. \"We want all the people of Delhi to come here to protest against Delhi police,\" Mr Kejriwal said, adding that he and his supporters planned to continue their demonstration against police. He accused the police of taking bribes from rickshaw drivers for minor offences, but doing little to fight lawlessness. Indian Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde said a judicial inquiry on the role of the police had been ordered into the alleged incident involving a drug and prostitution ring and that Mr Kejriwal \"should wait for its result\" before protesting. Vigilante accusations Monday's protest was prompted by an incident last week when the Aam Aadmi Party became embroiled in a bitter row with police and members of Delhi's African community, that threatened to become a diplomatic issue. Last Wednesday Mr Kejriwal's Law Minister, Somnath Bharti, and various party supporters allegedly confronted four Ugandan women in a Delhi neighbourhood accusing them of prostitution. Media reports said a row erupted when police refused to search a nearby house for evidence of a suspected drugs and prostitution racket because they did not have a warrant. Mr Bharti and Aam Aadmi Party supporters were accused of threatening and intimidating the women, forcing their way into homes and making racist remarks. They deny allegations that they behaved like vigilantes and Mr Kejriwal told the Hindustan Times newspaper that this was not a \"diplomatic issue. We are not against any race or country. We are against anti-social elements\". Nevertheless India's foreign ministry said in a statement over the weekend that the \"incident was utterly condemnable\" and assured ambassadors of some 20 African nations that authorities were not targeting their citizens. But Mr Kejriwal says his protest encompasses more grievances than the latest confrontation. His party is also demanding the suspension of a number of policemen - he alleges police refused to take action in one case involving the death of a woman, reportedly killed over a demand for dowry by her in-laws. They have also condemned the police for their handling of another case involving the alleged gang-rape of a Danish woman in the city last week - six people have so far been arrested in connection with the attack.",

Mr Farage, who has led opposition to allowing open immigration from Romania and Bulgaria in the new year, said refugees were \"a very different thing\". The UK government has no plans to accept Syrian refugees, saying it is better to offer financial help. Mr Farage said: \"I think refugees are a very different thing to economic migration and I think this country should honour the 1951 declaration on refugee status that was agreed. \"It was agreed with the UN and even through the European Court, which sadly has changed its role. \"But the original ideas of defining what a refugee is were good ones and I think, actually, there is a responsibility on all of us in the free West to try and help some of those people fleeing Syria, literally in fear of their lives.\" 'Miserably failing' He said it was time for \"a proper debate\" about \"the difference between a refugee - who fears for his or her life - or somebody moving simply for economic benefit\". While Mr Farage did not put a figure on the estimated nine million Syrians displaced by war who should be allowed into the UK, Labour wants to accept 400 to 500. On Saturday, the leaders of Britain's three main political parties issued a statement backing a UN appeal to raise £4bn to help Syrian refugees. David Cameron, Ed Miliband and Nick Clegg said the fate of a Syrian generation \"hangs in the balance\" with four million children caught up in the civil conflict. The leaders said the UK would add to the £523m it had already committed and urged other nations to do the same. The UK says its aid is providing support including food, medical care and relief items for people in Syria and to refugees in Lebanon, Jordan, Turkey and Iraq. The government said while it has no plans to resettle or provide temporary protection to Syrian refugees, it was giving \"as much help as possible\" to people in the region and its £500m pledge was \"more than the other EU member states combined\". It said more than 1,100 Syrian nationals had been granted asylum in the year up to September, and asylum claims would be considered \"on their merits and in line with the immigration rules\". Health minister Dan Poulter told the BBC: \"It's a very complex issue in Syria, as we know, and there are great concerns over the human rights issues there. The line the government is taking at the moment is the right one.\" But former Liberal Democrat leader Sir Menzies Campbell told the BBC earlier this week the UK had a \"responsibility\" to help those affected. \"It would be entirely reasonable for the UK to take its share of responsibility for refugees and I think it's unfortunate - to put it as mildly as I possibly can - that we have closed our minds to that possibility, when other countries in Europe have taken a much more generous position,\" he said. Mark Pritchard, Conservative MP, told BBC Radio 4's The World this Weekend he expected the government to change its mind - either \"willingly or unwillingly\". \"Clearly we can't take all the refugees but we should play our part as an open-hearted, compassionate country,\" he said. \"There's real suffering and we need to do our bit along with the rest of the international community.\" Fellow Tory MP Andrew Bridgen told the same programme he believed Mr Farage's comments were \"political tokenism\". \"You're talking about a few hundred [people] out of a few million,\" he said. \"What criteria would we use to say who can come and who can't? \"What we need is a politically-negotiated solution to this problem.\" In a report released earlier this month, Amnesty International accused European Union leaders of \"miserably failing\" to provide a safe haven to Syrians. Ten member states have offered to take in refugees and only 12,000 people, it said. Italy - like the UK - has offered no places at all, the organisation said. Anna Musgrave, of the charity the Refugee Council, welcomed Mr Farage's comments, saying this was something it had been calling for. \"We really hope that David Cameron listens to these people, listens to the likes of Nigel Farage, and acts on it.\" More than 100,000 people are estimated to have been killed since the unrest began in Syria more than two years ago, according to the United Nations.",

Greene had denied murder on the grounds of being mentally ill, but changed his plea to guilty during his trial. The judge, Mrs Justice Thirlwall, told him he will serve a minimum of 22 years in prison. Sentencing him at Lincoln Crown Court, she said: \"The callousness cannot be overstated.\" Greene, who had never disputed killing Alex, changed his plea following evidence from psychiatrist Dr Philip Joseph. Dr Joseph, who has dealt with more than 800 homicide cases, told the jury: \"In over 30 years, this is one of the most callous killings or murders I have been involved with.\" Psychopathic personality disorder He diagnosed Greene as having a psychopathic personality disorder, characterised by a \"callous unconcern for the feelings of others\" and an \"incapacity to experience guilt\". But despite his mental condition, Dr Joseph said Greene understood what he was doing and his ability to form a rational judgement was not impaired. \"Although his judgement was abhorrent, immoral and illegal, it was rational,\" he told the court. The trial heard Alex had stayed at home in Lincoln to play on his Xbox while his mother, grandmother and four-year-old sister went out to buy a turkey two days before Christmas 2014. While they were out Greene double-locked the doors, ran a bath, walked his grandson into the bathroom and drowned him. Michael Evans QC, prosecuting, said the bath was the last place Alex would have willingly gone because he was very wary of water, and even hated water on his face. \"The defendant forcibly drowned Alex in the bath,\" Mr Evans said. \"His intention was clear and he did so in the most brutal way.\" Alex's mother, Joanne Greene, told police how she returned to her home in Pennell Street to find her son dead. In a video played to the court, Ms Greene said her father was calmly sitting on the sofa and told her: \"I've drowned Alex in the bath.\" Ms Greene told the interviewing officer she did not believe him at first, but then desperately began looking for her son. She rushed to the bathroom, where she saw Alex in the water, surrounded by his sister's toys. Mr Evans told the court: \"She dragged Alex out of the bath and remembers his lips were blue and he was lifeless.\" The court heard Greene had been angry with his daughter, who refused to let him live with her following his discharge from a mental health unit just 12 days before. He had a history of mental health problems stretching back to his twenties, with various diagnoses including depression, bipolar affective disorder and personality disorder. Giving evidence, Ms Greene said she had pleaded with staff at the mental health unit not to let her father out, and warned them: \"He will do something to get himself put in somewhere.\" Alex's family thanked well-wishers for their support. \"We were privileged to have had Alex, if only for a short time,\" the family said in a statement. \"Nothing will ever make up for the loss of Alex and this has left a huge hole in our lives. \"Alex's sister has been left without her brother whom she idolised and we will continue to keep his memory alive in everything that we do. Shine bright little boy.\" Det Insp Helen Evans said the case would stay with her for a very long time. \"I didn't know Alex but through this investigation I feel I have come to know him and what a lovely little boy he was,\" she said. \"What is stark in this case is the heartbreak and devastation that has been caused to one family. \"The sadness of losing Alex cannot be put into words and for that to have happened at the hands of his grandfather is more than one family should have to bear.\"",

Council employee David MacCall told the inquiry in the days after Ciaran's death, between 500 and 900 headstones were laid flat over safety concerns. It also emerged that another boy was injured by a headstone there in 2010. Mr MacCall, who the assistant bereavement services manager at Glasgow City Council, was giving evidence at the inquiry which is taking place at Glasgow Sheriff Court. Inspection concerns The inquiry will try to establish if there were any reasonable precautions that could have prevented the tragedy at the cemetery in Cardonald. Mr MacCall told the inquiry he joined the council in 2013 and had raised concerns that there were no regular checks of memorials in the city. The witness said he was told \"what we carry out at the present time was proportionate to the resources available\". He said there was no permanent staff at Craigton Cemetery at the time and the council had teamed up with the Scottish Prison Service to have inmates who are preparing to leave prison work at some of their cemeteries. Mr MacCall said this was done at cemeteries in the east end of the Glasgow because it was in the lead up to the 2014 Commonwealth Games. The witness was asked by procurator fiscal depute Gail Adair about the response by the council after Ciaran's death. He said that once the area had been made safe they \"secured the site\" and \"attempted to make all memorials they felt were unsafe, safe\". Mr MacCall said staff laid flat the memorials that were deemed unsafe. When asked how many were judged to be unsafe, he replied: \"Between 500 and 900.\" Asked if that was a realistic number, he said that Craigton Cemetery had been subject of a \"significant amount of vandalism\". Ms Adair told Mr MacCall the inquiry has heard evidence that Ciaran and his friends went into the cemetery through a hole in the wall. She asked: \"Do you know when, or if, that hole was reported to Glasgow City Council?\" The witness said that he had since learned there was a complaint in 2014 and there were two follow ups. The fiscal depute confirmed with Mr MacCall that it was passed between different departments and followed up but was not repaired. She put to him: \"I think we heard in evidence the hole in the wall was repaired shortly after Ciaran's death.\" Mr MacCall answered: \"Yes, that's correct.\" Other injury The inquiry also heard that another child had been injured by a gravestone in the same cemetery. Mark Gibson, the solicitor representing Ciaran's mum, Stephanie Griffin, cross-examined Mr MacColl. He put the details of a council incident report form, of an incident said to have taken place in July 2010, at Craigton Cemetery. Mr Gibson read: \"Received call on July 20 informed headstone had fallen on to a 14-year-old boy. \"Govan Police mentioned lock had to be cut open by the fire service.\" Mr MacColl said he could not comment on anything as he was not there at the time. Mr Gibson asked if the report \"would suggest the council were aware of falling memorial stones in Craigton\" but the witness said he could not comment. The inquiry heard that council workers who inspect gravestones adhere to Ministry of Justice guidance. Mr MacColl said if one is inspected and found to be unsafe it is made safe according to protocol or is recorded as safe and inspected again at a later date. The court heard the gravestone that killed Ciaran was not inspected prior to his death. The inquiry heard that the practice at the time was only to inspect five headstones on each side of where a burial is due to take place. Mr MacCall told the court that the tree beside the gravestone that killed Ciaran had now been removed. Asked why, the witness said \"because it was at that locus\".

His father Jigme Singye Wangchuck - who himself acceded to the throne when aged only 16 - took great pains to ensure that his son was prepared to take over before his abdication in December 2006. The young king had a difficult act to follow. His father won international acclaim for his role in turning Bhutan into a constitutional monarchy while his emphasis on gross national happiness - the idea that spiritual and mental well-being are more important than material prosperity - made him the darling of development groups the world over. As crown prince Jigme Khesar was educated in India and the US before attending Oxford University to read politics and international relations. After graduating, the future monarch was encouraged by his father to travel abroad and represent his country of 700,000 people. King Jigme Khesar is the fifth in a line of hereditary rulers who have reigned in Bhutan for the last 100 years. Challenges Monarchs in Bhutan have always been revered - unlike in neighbouring Nepal where the king was unceremoniously deposed in 2008. The new king in Bhutan did not have to try too hard to win over his people. That is because most people in the kingdom were and remain staunch royalists. Some openly wept when they heard news of his father's plans to curb the powers of the monarchy. Emotions ran similarly high when King Jigme Khesar married a commoner in October 2011. Prime Minister Jigmi Thinley described him then as \"the ultimate anchor\" of the country, while opposition leader Tshering Tobgay said that the wedding \"ensured the continuity of the monarchy\" and \"strengthened\" the country's democracy. Prior to his marriage the king's boyish good looks not only created a stir among numerous female fans but also won rave reviews in his home country, where his \"diplomacy, charm and diplomatic finesse\" was praised extensively in the press. He and his wife Jetsun Pema are reported to share a passion for art. Jigme Khesar is the oldest son of Jigme Singye and his third wife, Ashi Tshering Yangdon. He has a younger sister and brother as well as four half-sisters and three half-brothers by his father's other three wives - all of his father's wives are sisters. Utterly loyal The young king began his reign without being officially crowned but was nevertheless confronted by a series of challenges that would have taxed the wisest of monarchs. Prominent among them was overseeing the final stages of democratisation in his country before the elections of March 2008. Like his father, the new king stressed that it was critically important that his country complete the process of becoming a constitutional monarchy despite the reluctance of many of his subjects to see any diminution of the monarch's powers. He travelled extensively around the country encouraging people to take part in the vote - in which both main parties competed for power on similar manifestos, utterly loyal to their king. \"Even though in terms of governance we are now a democracy, there is no elected individual who will enjoy the kind of respect, trust, confidence and reverence our kings enjoy,\" the prime minister said in 2008. Perhaps the most high-profile challenge for the government in recent years has been the plight of thousands of ethnic Nepalese, who used to live in Bhutan but who say they were forced to take refuge in camps in Nepal in the 1990s. Their status is still in dispute even though many have with the help of international agencies emigrated to the US, Canada and Australia. Since coming to the throne the new king has been careful to ensure that his government has not upset Bhutan's larger neighbour, India, which is known to be concerned about what it says is the presence of Assamese rebels in the south of the kingdom. Jigme Khesar signed a new treaty of friendship with India in February 2007, replacing a 1949 treaty. Delhi retains a strong influence over Bhutan's foreign policy. Above all, the new king has ensured that the Bhutanese monarchy does not suffer the same fate as the royal family in Nepal. The forward thinking of his father in scaling back the monarchy - and the popularity which has been lavished on his son - make that prospect unlikely.",

Army patrols were searching for another police officer, William Donato, who fled during the fighting. The rescue came just days before the second round of the presidential poll. The rescued men were among the Farc's longest-held captives. It is believed the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (Farc) are still holding 19 members of the security forces who they want to swap for some 500 jailed guerrillas. Most of the hostages were seized in the late 1990s. Defence Minister Gabriel Silva said 300 men had attacked the camp in Guaviare province with \"surgical precision\" but he acknowledged that Capt Donato had fled during the fighting. \"We have high hopes that he is in hiding and that he will be found in the coming hours,\" he said. He said the rescued hostages, who are due in the capital, Bogota, later on Monday, were being protected by 300 soldiers. 'Birthday present' President Alvaro Uribe said the operation had been planned for several months and that Gen Mendieta, who turned 53 on Sunday, was in good health. Gen Mendieta's daughter, Yenny, told a Colombian radio station she could not believe the news and was looking forward to speaking to her father as soon as possible. His wife, Maria Teresa, said she was the happiest woman in the world. She said she had not known the rescue operation was under way and could not wait to celebrate her husband's birthday with him. Gen Mendieta and Col Murillo were captured on 1 November 1998 when Farc rebels overran Mitu, a town in the far east of the country. Col Murillo's 12-year-old son said he and his mother had cried with joy when they had heard the news on television. He thanked the police. Sgt Delgado has three children. His wife said she was hoping he could make up for the years he had missed with them. President Uribe told reporters a soldier had died in the operation. The rescue was the highest-profile mission since July 2008, when French-Colombian politician Ingrid Betancourt and three Americans were freed from rebel hands. Former Defence Minister Juan Manuel Santos, who was credited with masterminding that operation, is favourite to win the 20 June second round of the presidential election when he will face Green Party candidate Antanas Mockus.",

            "input": "Communities Secretary Sajid Javid has approved plans for fracking at Cuadrilla's Preston New Road site at Little Plumpton in Lancashire. Environmentalists and local campaign groups reacted angrily, saying it was a denial of local democracy. It means, for the first time, UK shale rock will be fracked horizontally, which is expected to yield more gas. A second site, Roseacre Wood, has not yet been given the green light amid concerns over the impact on the area. What is it like living near fracking? The decision will 'ruin our lives' 'Decision was democratic' Does fracking affect the water supply? Lancashire County Council (LCC) refused permission to extract shale gas at both sites last year on the grounds of noise and traffic impact, but Cuadrilla appealed. In response to the decision, LCC has called on the government to do more to address people's concerns about fracking. \"It is clear the government supports the development of a shale gas industry, but I would ask them to do more to address the concerns of local communities and the councillors who represent them by supporting the best environmental controls,\" it said. Cuadrilla chief executive Francis Egan said: \"We have been through an exhaustive environmental impact assessment on this. \"We have assessed everything; noise, traffic, water, emissions, etc. \"The Environment Agency are entirely comfortable with it.\" Mr Javid said the shale gas industry would support thousands of jobs and reduce the UK's reliance on energy imports. \"When it comes to the financial benefits of shale, our plans mean local communities benefit first,\" he said. Responding to the ruling Councillor Judith Blake, from the Local Government Association, said: \"It should be up to local communities to decide, through their locally democratic planning systems, whether or not to host fracking operations in their areas.\" She said residents' safety concerns should be \"adequately addressed\". \"People living near fracking sites - who are most affected by them - have a right to be heard,\" said Councillor Blake. 'Fight to continue' Friends of the Earth campaigner Pollyanna Steiner said: \"Fracking goes against everything we need to do to tackle climate change. \"The government must end its fixation with dirty fossil fuels and focus instead on harnessing the UK's huge renewable energy resource.\" Pam Foster, co-founder of Residents Action on Fylde Fracking, said: \"This is a total denial of democracy. Our parish council, our borough council, our county council all threw out this application. \"We have pursued every democratic channel we can do, there's nothing left for us. We're pretty disgusted and very upset.\" She said the campaigners would continue to fight fracking \"peacefully and legally\". However Lee Petts, from Lancashire for Shale, said the decision was \"excellent news for Lancashire's businesses and our future prosperity\". \"We believe today's decision means that Lancashire is now back on track for the future investment and employment opportunities that would flow from a successful shale gas industry in the county.\" Analysis: Judy Hobson, BBC North West environment correspondent This decision was never about fracking. For those against it, that argument has already been lost. The government wants a shale gas industry and on a big scale. This was a planning issue. The government has ruled that the proposed fracking site at Preston New Road is perfect for test fracking. In agreement with local planning officers, the secretary of state didn't think the other site, Roseacre Wood, met the planning criteria. Whatever the reasons for Thursday's decision, it is significant. Cuadrilla wants to carry out unconventional fracking - that means drilling wells vertically and horizontally. It's never been done before on mainland Britain. Using the latest technology, the company says huge amounts of gas could be extracted with relatively little impact above ground. Cuadrilla expects to begin fracking at the end of 2017. Anti-fracking campaigners could delay or even stop that happening by asking for a judicial review. They'd have to prove this decision was arrived at in an unlawful manner, and it's a costly process. But residents in Lancashire know it's more than likely their area is the testing ground for a future industry. Drilling companies believe trillions of cubic feet of shale gas may be recoverable from beneath parts of the UK and more than 200 onshore exploration licences have been awarded to energy companies. In 2011, all fracking was suspended in the UK after it caused earthquakes near Blackpool. The ban was lifted in 2012. More productive It is not the first time fracking has been approved since the ban was lifted - but it is the first to involve horizontal drilling. In horizontal fracking, the well is turned horizontally at depth to extract gas from a layer - or layers - of shale rock. Horizontal drilling can extend for 1km (1,100yd) It is seen as far more productive than conventional vertical drilling, which goes directly through the seam and reaches a smaller area. In May, North Yorkshire County Council approved an application by Third Energy to vertically extract shale gas at a site near Kirby Misperton in Ryedale. In Wales the UK Government has plans to devolve fracking licences to the Welsh Government, and has decided not to make fracking decisions in the country in the meantime. The Welsh Government is opposed to fracking and, ahead of the licensing powers being granted, has told councils they must refer such planning applications to ministers in Cardiff Bay if they want to approve them.",

He faced down the French establishment to secure a landslide presidential win and topped it off on Sunday with a commanding first-round lead in parliamentary elections. Mrs May faced calls to resign after her parliamentary majority was wiped out in Thursday's general election. Heading abroad for some international wheeler-dealing is \"a classic move to shore up authority at home,\" one analyst told AFP news agency. Their contrasting electoral fortunes are too glaring for observers to ignore, and some drew attention to some uncomfortable moments in history. \"This, Madame May, is victory,\" the French president tells his visitor as they pass crowds of his cheering supporters, in a cartoon by Patrick Blower in Tuesday's Daily Telegraph newspaper. French newspaper Libération could not resist pointing out that another embattled UK Conservative prime minister, Margaret Thatcher, was on a visit to Paris in 1990 when a party vote triggered her downfall. Advantage France? Some commentators compare their fortunes - or misfortunes - when it comes to Brexit. In the FT, a Ferguson cartoon depicts the two leaders at tennis - Mr Macron serving with an enormous EU-flag-themed tennis racket to the prime minister's undersized racket. But the accompanying article is deadly serious - headlined \"Emmanuel Macron will offer no mercy to Theresa May\". Far from \"helping Britain get off the hook of a hard Brexit\", argues Gideon Rachman, \"for President Macron, Brexit is looking increasingly like a historic opportunity rather than a cause for regret\". \"It is advantage France,\" the article concludes. That perspective is shared by the editorial director of The Economist Intelligence Unit. France's new leader may not entirely have the upper hand. He may be heading for a landslide in parliament but it is on the back of a record low turnout, attributed to a sense of resignation among his opponents. Polls suggest he will win upwards of 400 seats in France's 577-seat National Assembly. But his party did win a smaller share of the popular vote than Theresa May's Conservatives. So when the two leaders sit down to a working dinner there will be plenty on the menu, not least their plans for social media companies to face fines if they fail to remove extremist material. Stade de France to sing God Save the Queen They share the same preoccupations, in the wake of a series of horrifying Islamist militant attacks on both sides of the Channel. Most recently, 22 people died in a suicide attack in Manchester and eight were murdered at London Bridge, including three French nationals. Four days after Paris came under attack by jihadists in November 2015, Wembley stadium gave a rousing rendition of the Marseillaise ahead of an international friendly between England and France. That honour will be returned at the Stade de France when the two footballing nations meet again, watched by President Macron and the UK prime minister. The Oasis song \"Don't Look Back in Anger\" will be played as the players emerge, while unusually the UK national anthem will be played last and the words displayed to encourage all fans to sing along. Not everything can be planned and choreographed, though. Mrs May will be anxious to avoid any own goals from England's defence that might leave France's trademark cockerel crowing.",

Since then it's grown into something bigger, with Adwoa giving talks in schools, and lots of women writing in for advice. \"These are my girls, these are my tribe. Having them all here was amazing,\" says Adwoa. She spent much of Saturday hugging the girls who went along, and even started a conga line with them at one point. \"I think it's important for women to know that they're not alone,\" says Umi, who is 17. \"We're always stigmatised with words like 'bossy', or [people will say] 'That's not ladylike', or 'slut.'\" She feels teenagers are often not listened to. \"Young girls experience sexual harassment in ways that we don't talk about enough, or people don't take seriously. From age 13 onwards, I've been catcalled in the street. That's not OK.\" Adwoa was among the speakers at Saturday's event, alongside top model Hanne Gaby Odiele, feminist columnist Laurie Penny, doctors and relationship experts. \"Hearing someone that you put on a pedestal talk about their experiences in such a raw way is really nice. You realise that all the people you idolise are just people,\" says Lauren, 19. Many girls at the event asked Adwoa about how to cope with the pressure they feel from social media to look a certain way. \"I completely understand because I was in that place of projecting this very fake image of who I was,\" Adwoa tells Newsbeat. \"Sometimes I feel like I'm adding to that worm hole of imagery that's so detrimental to how women look at themselves. \"The people at the top of the social media game don't always take on that responsibility. They show a life that's out of many people's reach.\" Seventeen-year old Isra tells Newsbeat she wants to see more diverse images of beauty promoted. \"When you look at television adverts, when you look at magazines, you see the models and they're all of one body type, one colour type, and it does get to you,\" she says. \"You're like, 'Why do they epitomise white European features so much? Am I not beautiful?' \"They're embracing diversity only through [skin] colour, not through facial features, body features. Diversity's so much more than colour.\" Adwoa is often credited with helping to increase diversity in modelling. She appeared on the March cover of American Vogue, alongside six models of differing skin tone and body shape, and in the new Gap advert, directed by new Vogue editor Edward Enninful, with the slogan 'Unified in harmony'. She says she hopes campaigns like these signify real change in the industry. \"I am only one type of girl as well. It shouldn't just be, 'OK we put Adwoa in so we've hit that quota.' It's not good enough.\" Find us on Instagram at BBCNewsbeat and follow us on Snapchat, search for bbc_newsbeat",

Albert Grannon, of Church Lane, Sproatley, pleaded guilty to manslaughter at Hull Crown Court. The 78-year-old had shown \"no real remorse for what happened\" until the guilty plea, Humberside Police said. He also admitted possessing an air rifle without holding a firearms certificate along with the charge of manslaughter by gross negligence. Grannon listened to the proceedings through a headset with sentencing adjourned until 2 July at Sheffield Crown Court. In August, an inquest heard Stanley was visiting family at the time he was shot. Stanley was found injured at the house at about 16:00 BST and pronounced dead later that day at Hull Royal Infirmary. Hull Coroner's Court was told a post-mortem examination had revealed the cause of death as \"an airgun projectile wound to the abdomen\". No details of the offence were given during Monday's court hearing, with Grannon granted conditional bail. Judge Peter Kelson QC told him: \"This case, while tragic, is very serious and it's entirely possible that a prison sentence will follow and you must prepare for that.\" 'Inseparable' twins Det Insp Rebecca Dickinson, who led the investigation, said: \"I am pleased that Albert Grannon has finally admitted his guilt and faced up to the enormity of his actions. \"Up to now he has shown no real remorse for what happened.\" In a statement following Stanley's death, his family described him as a \"loving, caring and beautiful boy\" who was \"vibrant and full of energy\". Det Insp Dickinson added: \"Stanley has a twin, Elsie.

            "input": "A top figure in the now-banned Islamist movement Muslim Brotherhood, Morsi had just spoken from a cage at a hearing on charges of espionage. State TV said the cause of death was a heart attack. Morsi, who was 67, had been in custody since his removal after mass protests. The Muslim Brotherhood said the death was a \"full-fledged murder\". Activists and his family had long said Morsi was not receiving treatment for serious health problems such as high blood pressure and diabetes, and was constantly being held in solitary confinement. What happened in court? Morsi collapsed moments after addressing the court in Cairo over charges of espionage related to suspected contacts with the Palestinian Islamist group Hamas, which had close ties to the Muslim Brotherhood. He spoke for some five minutes from a soundproof glass cage which officials said was designed to prevent him from disrupting proceedings. Morsi was pronounced dead in hospital at 16:50 local time (14:50 GMT) and an initial report showed no signs of recent injuries on the body, Egypt's public prosecutor said. Last month, his family said authorities had repeatedly denied access to him and that they knew little about the state of his health. During his time in prison, Morsi was allowed only three visits from relatives and was denied access to his lawyers or a doctor, according to human rights group Amnesty International. His son Abdullah told the Reuters news agency he did not know the location of the body and that authorities were refusing to allow Morsi to be buried in his native Nile Delta province of Sharqiya. Morsi, who became Egypt's first democratically elected leader in 2012, had already been sentenced to more than 45 years in prison in three separate trials, including for leading an outlawed group, detention and torture of anti-government protesters and leaking state secrets. He had always rejected the authority of the courts, and his supporters denounced the trials as politically motivated and attempts to give legal cover to a coup based on unreliable witnesses and scant evidence. A death certain to inflame passions The death of a leader, remembered by many as Egypt's first democratically elected president, is certain to inflame passions among his supporters and allies in Egypt and beyond. Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has been quick to describe him as a martyr. Others are certain to do the same. There has long been concern about the politicised trials which have kept him in prison, as well as his conditions of confinement. Morsi had a history of ill-health. But last year, a British parliamentary panel reported he was being kept in solitary confinement for 23 hours a day, which they concluded could be classified as torture. They warned this could lead to premature death. His sudden collapse comes at a time when the United States, reportedly at the request of Egyptian President Abdul Fattah al-Sisi, is working to designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a foreign terrorist organisation. The death of one its most senior figures will deepen the anger and anxiety in this global Islamist movement. What has the reaction been? The Muslim Brotherhood's political arm, the Freedom and Justice party, said Morsi's death amounted to an \"assassination\", and urged supporters to gather at the funeral and demonstrate outside Egyptian embassies around the world. \"They placed him in [solitary] confinement throughout his detention which exceeded five years, prevented medicine and provided poor food... They prevented doctors and lawyers and even communicating with his family. They deprived him from the simplest human rights.\" Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who was a close ally, blamed Egypt's \"tyrants\" for the death while the Emir of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, another ally, expressed his \"deep sorrow\". Crispin Blunt MP, who led a panel of British MPs who had warned about Morsi's health, called for a \"reputable independent international investigation\", and said Egypt's government had a \"duty to explain his unfortunate death\". Amnesty's deputy director for the Middle East and North Africa Magdalena Mughrabi said: \"[Morsi] was held in solitary confinement for almost six years, placing a considerable strain on his mental and physical wellbeing... [H]e was effectively cut off from the outside world.\" Human Rights Watch Middle East director Sarah Leah Whitson said Morsi's death was \"terrible but entirely predictable\". Who was Morsi? Born in the village of El-Adwah in 1951, Morsi studied Engineering at Cairo University in the 1970s before moving to the US to complete a PhD. He was chosen as the Muslim Brotherhood's presidential candidate for the 2012 election after the movement's preferred choice was forced to pull out. During his turbulent year in office, Morsi was accused of mounting an Islamist coup and mishandling the economy. Public opposition to his government grew and millions of anti-government protesters took to the streets across Egypt to mark the first anniversary of the day he took office, on 30 June 2013. Three days later, the army suspended the constitution, announced an interim government ahead of new elections and detained Morsi, who denounced the move as a coup. Abdul Fattah al-Sisi, then army chief, was elected president in 2014 and re-elected last year in polls rights groups called \"farcical\". After Morsi's removal, authorities launched a crackdown on his supporters and other dissent, and hundreds of people have been killed and tens of thousands others detained in conditions often described as being in violation of their human rights.",

            "input": "By Tom de CastellaBBC News Magazine A palaeontologist, an astronomer, a chemist - into the pantheon of children's toys stride three new Lego characters. Not so surprising. Except the scientists are all female. In the context of criticism of endless pink-branded items for girls and sexist child marketing, Lego's new range - Research Institute - could be significant. Toy shops often have a girls' section devoted to dolls, craft and cleaning, says Dr Heather Williams, a medical physicist and co-director of campaign group Science Grrl. In contrast, boys are offered science, construction and war. Stereotypes are ingrained early, she argues. \"Young girls are cast in caring roles and boys as go-getting protagonists. I don't think that's healthy.\" Lego finds itself a key battleground in the debate about toys and gender stereotyping. Not only is it the world's second largest toymaker - behind Mattel - but a firm associated with a wholesome, Scandinavian view of childhood. The Danish company was heavily criticised for Lego Friends, a range aimed at girls launched two years ago. It features five women who live in the fictional area of Heartlake and includes a salon, a vet, swimming pool and convertible car. Critics attacked the pastel colours and life of leisure led by the characters. They said the range lacked the educational \"construction\" element of equivalent products aimed at boys. And in February this year, seven-year-old Charlotte Benjamin wrote an angry letter to Lego - soon widely publicised - about the lack of strong female characters. The new range of scientists was released online last week and has sold out, with another batch to be made available later this month. The company denies the set is designed to mollify feminist critics. It points out that the new range was an idea voted for by the public. The Research Institute set was proposed by geoscientist Ellen Kooijman and backed in a public vote on a Lego crowdsourcing website. Kooijman has written that she wanted to counter \"a skewed male/female minifigure ratio and a rather stereotypical representation of the available female figures\". She is pleased with the result. Lego hardly altered her designs although it did add make-up, something \"she strongly discourages\" in the lab. But she has no objection to tweaking it for children in this way, she says. So what do feminists think of the female scientists? Becky Francis, professor of education and social justice at King's College London, who was \"very, very disappointed\" by Lego Friends, is a fan. The set shows women doing intellectually demanding jobs. And she believes Lego has \"put a lot of thought\" into getting their appearance right. They wear trousers and look practical or punky rather than glamorous. At first glance one might \"groan inwardly\" at the figures' lipstick and the fact one sports a pink scarf. But it's a useful way of banishing the \"bluestocking\" image of women doing serious jobs, she argues. Others say that Lego should return to its 1970s and 80s approach of not targeting by gender. A piece earlier this year in Huffington Post generated a surge of interest when it compared the marketing posters of previous decades with the marketing for Lego Friends. In those earlier days, the posters showed girls in baggy clothes holding complicated constructions with catchlines like \"Look what I built with Lego!\" Feminists argue the emphasis has gone from construction to hair and beauty. \"It was pure construction toys, so very inclusive,\" says Francis. \"But over the years, as they began to produce tie-ins with movies, they became much more marketed at boys and off-putting to girls.\" It was in that context that Lego Friends was launched - and the toy has diverged ever more, feminists argue. Megan Perryman, a campaigner at Let Toys Be Toys, says Lego did have some positive female characters, such as in the police and fire brigade. But it's about proportions. \"There are still far more male figures in action roles. And our main concern with Lego comes down to marketing and the way that girls and boys are so rarely shown playing together with the same toy the way they do in real life.\" David Robertson, a former Lego professor of innovation at Switzerland's Institute for Management Development, says such criticisms are unfair. \"If Lego was still marketing sets the way it used to, it'd be out of business.\" In his book Brick by Brick, he details the company's fear in the late 90s that Lego would soon be obsolete. The patents were out of date and a new approach was needed. Instead, the company focused on stories, which in practice meant tie-ins like Star Wars and Harry Potter. Today it is the fastest growing toy firm in the world, Robertson says. For him, Lego Friends was justifiable. The company had become too focused on boys and needed to adjust to offer the kind of characters that girls are drawn to, he says. \"If you believe Lego is a healthy toy for kids to play with, why not make different stories that appeal to different people?\" In the age-old debate over how children are raised, the humble Lego brick has become a powerful symbol.

Any reading above 50 indicates growth while a reading below 50 points to a fall in activity. Markit said the survey pointed to first-quarter economic growth of 0.3%. That would match the eurozone growth figure for the final three months of 2014. It said the improvement in business output was the result of growth in new orders that had increased at their fastest rate since 2011. Employment also grew at its fastest rate since August 2011. Job creation in the service sector \"held steady\" near February's four year high, Markit said, while in the manufacturing sector it grew at its quickest pace since April last year. Crucially, the survey showed that deflationary pressures eased in March with prices falling at the slowest rate since July. Markit said this reflected the need for some firms to pass on costs to customers Upturn It added there was some anecdotal evidence that the European Central Bank's (ECB) stimulus measures were beginning to be felt. Manufacturing prices rose for the first time in seven months, albeit only modestly. Meanwhile, in the service sector, prices fell, but the rate of decline was the weakest for nine months. Chris Williamson, chief economist at survey compiler Markit, said the survey results indicated some impetus from the ECB's economic stimulus programme, which began at the start of the month, although it was coming \"at a time when there was already growth\". He added: \"All the indicators are pointing to a further upturn, firms are taking on staff and it augurs well for the year ahead.\" Separate PMI surveys for Germany and France, the eurozone's two largest economies, were also released. Business activity in Germany rose to to its highest level in eight months as new orders hit a nine-month record. German factory output was its highest for nearly a year catching up with the strong pace of growth in the service sector, which hit a six-month high. The French economy also saw business activity increase for a second month, although at a slightly more modest pace than in February, when it hit a 42-month high. Business output in France is still running well below that of Germany. However, new orders were at their highest level sine August 2011. But French manufacturing output fell for the tenth month in row. Howard Archer chief UK and European economist at IHS Global Insight called the latest PMI \"highly encouraging\" adding the improvement in manufacturing activity was welcome. \"It is not just the headline figures that are encouraging but the whole tone of the surveys. Eurozone economic activity is strengthening as very low oil prices, a weak euro, major ECB stimulus and much reduced fiscal headwinds foster an improved growth environment,\" he added.",

Shane Clifton is already in prison for raping his daughter, who gave birth to another child by him when she was 14. Derbyshire Police told the BBC it had spoken to Shannon, who is now 19, and was making \"further inquiries\". \"He basically beat me to the point where I didn't have a baby inside me anymore,\" said Shannon. She was 11 when her father first made her pregnant and believes he may have buried the foetus because a neighbour reported him digging a hole in the garden of their home in Chaddesden, Derby. \"I lost my baby and I almost died myself,\" she said. \"He didn't want the baby. In his eyes he was lucky he had got rid of it and he could carry on with the life he was living and what he was doing to me.\" Shannon is now rebuilding her life, having written a book about her experiences and started a degree in forensic psychology. However, she said she was worried what her dad would do to her when he got out of prison, and hoped he would be jailed for longer if he was prosecuted for more offences. \"My dad had tried pretty much murdering me a number of times,\" she said. \"What's going to stop him from hurting me again, and this time maybe doing worse than what he did before?\" He has already had convictions for violence, including being jailed for more than two years for attacking a woman. He dragged his victim to the ground by her hair, kicked her repeatedly in the head and then stamped on her head while she was unconscious. He attacked her again after being released. Why was Shannon's father jailed? Shannon gave birth to a boy in October 2014 and DNA tests proved the father was her own dad. Shane Clifton, then 32, pleaded guilty to raping her from the ages of 10 to 14 at Derby Crown Court in March 2015. He was given a life sentence with a minimum term of 15 years but this was amended to 10 years as the judge gave him credit for pleading guilty. Clifton then tried to appeal against his sentence to get it reduced even further but the appeal was refused in November 2015. What else does Shannon want him prosecuted for? Shannon said her father made her pregnant three times in total, the first time when she was 11 and lost the baby at about 28 weeks when he assaulted her. She says her father intentionally killed the foetus and while he could not legally be charged with murder under English law as the baby had not been born, he could potentially be charged with child destruction. The second time was when she was 12 and had a miscarriage. On the third occasion Shannon was 13 when she became pregnant and gave birth to a boy after she turned 14. She looked after her son for a while but has since had him adopted because she wanted him to have a better life. Shannon said her father came close to killing her several times and she would like him prosecuted for his violent attacks on her and for further rapes, which she said started when she was just six years old. \"My dad took my childhood away and even though he's not here now he still ruins my life,\" she said. \"It affects you for a lifetime. You might get counselling, you might get the help that you need to move on from it but you don't ever forget it and you don't completely move on from what's happened in your life. It's still always there.\" Derbyshire Police said in a statement: \"Specialist officers from the force's public protection team have spoken with Miss Clifton and further enquiries are now taking place.\" Anyone with information can contact police on 101.

Fox hunting is banned in Scotland, but dogs are still allowed to flush out foxes for pest control. Three charities have organised a march next month in Edinburgh to highlight the issue. The bid is led by the League Against Cruel Sports, OneKind and the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW). The Protection of Wild Mammals (Scotland) Act in 2002, effectively banned fox hunting with dogs, with an exemption for using them to flush out foxes for pest control or protecting livestock or ground-nesting birds. Mounted hunts in Scotland have since offered farmers, landowners and estate managers a pest control service, but a review by Lord Bonomy found there were \"grounds to suspect\" fox hunting takes place illegally and he recommended having independent monitors to police hunts. The charities believe the Act is \"insufficient\" and have been campaigning for it to be improved to close \"loopholes\" that allow for traditional hunting. The League Against Cruel Sports has also released video footage it claims shows Scottish hunts \"causing panic\" among flocks of sheep. Mr Gervais said: \"It is utterly sickening that the primitive, horrific pastime of chasing foxes with packs of hounds is still happening routinely in this country with little or no means of bringing to justice those who inflict such cruelty on wildlife. \"The Scottish government has an opportunity to make this appalling 'sport' go away so it's high time it stopped dragging its feet and got on with improving the law to ban fox hunting once and for all.\" Mr Packham added: \"It is quite staggering that in this day and age we live in a country where people go out with the intention of terrorising wild animals by chasing them to the point of exhaustion and brutally killing them. \"Sadly in Scotland the law has proven not to be sufficient to stop this horrific behaviour. \"I wholeheartedly support the League Against Cruel Sports and OneKind in their campaign calling on the Scottish Government to strengthen the law to make sure fox hunting is really banned in Scotland. \"Fox hunting has no place in modern society and now is the time to put it firmly where it belongs - in the past.\" The Scottish Government has consulted on Lord Bonomy's recommendations with analysis currently under way on the responses.",

            "input": "It comes on the 30th anniversary of Lynette White's murder in Cardiff, for which three innocent men were jailed. They were acquitted by the appeal court and DNA advances later led police to the real killer, Jeffrey Gafoor. Having served 13 years, he is now due for parole which has angered the victims of his crimes. In sentencing Gafoor the judge said he had \"allowed innocent men to go to prison\" for a crime he knew he had committed. With Gafoor now eligible for parole some are calling for a change in the law. This, they say, would be included in the Criminal Justice Act 2003 forcing the issue of criminals who knowingly allow innocent people to be convicted of their offences to be sentenced more severely. It is a view supported by South Wales Police and Crime Commissioner Alun Michael. \"There certainly were questions raised in a number of places about whether the sentence was proportionate to the nature of the crime and the fact that several innocent people spent time in prison as a result of Gafoor not coming forward and not admitting the case at an earlier stage,\" he told BBC Wales Investigates. \"I can't answer those questions but I think they are legitimate questions and it's a challenge to the criminal justice system to ensure that all factors can be taken into account in the sentencing process in future.\" One campaigner for change is journalist Satish Sekar - author of three books on the Lynette White murder case - who is critical of the 13-year tariff given to Gafoor. He wants to see an amendment to the existing sentencing guidelines to include a specific aggravating factor concerning miscarriages of justice. \"It is indefensible that he got a lower tariff than the original defendants,\" he says. \"He pleaded guilty but that was 15 years too late. It cannot erase the pain and guilty of Lynette's family or the suffering and stigma endured by the Cardiff Five and their families.\" Sex worker Lynette White, 20, was stabbed more than 50 times by in a flat in the docklands area of Cardiff in 1988. Detectives got an early lead when a white man was seen at the murder scene in a distressed state, his hands covered in blood. But 10 months later five black men were arrested. Despite their repeated denials and lack of evidence, three of the men were convicted in 1989. Their convictions were eventually quashed on appeal. A new \"cold case\" police investigation subsequently found the real killer, security guard Jeffrey Gafoor who eventually pleaded guilty and was sentenced to life in jail with a tariff of 13 years. After he was convicted police launched an investigation into what went wrong with the original 1980s investigation. Three of the main witnesses police presented - Mark Grommek, Leanne Vilday, Angela Psaila - later admitted that they had fabricated their accounts of the murder under intense pressure by police. Jailing the three of them for 18 months for perjury, the judge told them. \"You were seriously hounded, bullied, threatened, abused and manipulated by the police during a period of several months leading up to late 1988, as a result of which you felt compelled to agree to false accounts they suggested to you.\" A police corruption trial which alleged eight retired detectives had acted \"corruptly together and with other police officers to manufacture a case against the five men\" began in 2011. It collapsed in dramatic circumstances five months later due to disclosure issues. The judge abandoned the trial and declared all defendants not guilty. The Lynette White inquiry had virtually brought South Wales Police to breaking point. That stain remains to some extent which, says Chief Constable Matt Jukes, has served to forge a determination for change. Speaking on the anniversary of Lynette White's murder, he says: \"The learning we've taken from the murder of Lynette White and the original investigation has led us to review many other historic cases and has led to convictions in several of those. \"So, the case itself has driven a change in the organisation and brought about justice for other victims. \"For young officers today and many members of the community this case is something that they're aware of in the history of the organisation. \"It has truly deep resonances for all those affected by it and it's somewhat now in the DNA of the force I've got to say. \"Our determination not to fail in this way again steals my resolve every day to make sure our investigations are at the highest quality, professionally, technically, ethically, that they can possibly be. \"So I don't think even though this is an event that took place 30 years ago, it will leave the psyche of this organisation and its leadership for another generation.\"",

Now there are hopes local grains will be turned into bread again, as work begins to restore the 13th Century mill to its former glory. A local baker hopes to raise £1m to turn it into a tourist attraction. Geraint Jones, who owns Becws Islyn bakery in the village, has transferred the mill to a community group in the hope it can be grinding grains again by 2023. Mr Jones said: \"It could easily have been turned into anything, but we wanted to keep the history of Aberdaron as it was. \"The plan is hopefully we can grow our own wheat, we can grind it here and bake it in the bakery.\" Mentioned in historical documents dating back to 1252, Melin Daron was one of five mills owned by the Abbey on Bardsey Island. At that time, grain was transported from the island to be ground and the flour then carried back to Bardsey. When the mill closed in the 1950s the building fell into disrepair, with the outer shell - dating back to the 19th Century - deteriorating. Project director Roy Milnes said the group had managed to attract enough funding to safeguard the mill over the winter before work could begin to turn it into a tourist and education facility. \"It's a valuable asset and Grade II listed building - we want to develop this area of the village to bring more people in out of season,\" he said \"Most of the mills in the area have been stripped out, but this mill is complete, worn out but complete, and so it's restorable.\" Mr Milnes said the hope was to teach school children how to make bread, and to bring more tourists into the village out of season. \"There's a whole language associated with milling that has gone with the past, we want to bring all of that back and get people familiar with the operation of the mill - and hopefully end up with bread,\" he said. The group, which is applying for grants, hopes to start work transforming the mill next year and open within two years.",

He urged journalists to get to know the Church with its \"virtues and sins\" and to share its focus on \"truth, goodness and beauty\". Pope Francis takes over from Benedict XVI, who abdicated last month. The former Argentine cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio, 76, was the surprise choice of cardinals meeting in Rome to choose a new head of the Church. In his first audience at the Vatican, he said Jesus Christ and not the Pope was the centre of the Church, which he stressed was \"spiritual not political\" in nature. He said the Holy Spirit had inspired the resignation of Benedict XVI and guided the cardinals choosing him as the next pontiff. The Pope said he had been inspired to take the name Francis by a Brazilian colleague who embraced him and whispered \"don't forget the poor\" when it was announced that he had been elected Pope. He said he immediately thought of St Francis of Assisi, the Italian founder of the Franciscan Order who was devoted to the poor. As well as representing poverty and peace, he said St Francis \"loved and looked after\" creation - and he noted that humanity was \"not having a good relationship with nature at the moment\". St Francis of Assisi is said to have loved animals as his \"brothers and sisters\" and even to have preached to birds. Humour There had been speculation that Pope Francis - who was a member of the Jesuit order - had chosen his name in honour of St Francis Xavier, a 16th Century Jesuit missionary in Asia. But he said this was not the case. The new Pope's style is very different to that of his predecessor, BBC Vatican correspondent David Willey says. He talks in simple, easy to understand terms about ethical values and shows a remarkable sense of humour, our correspondent says. Earlier, the Vatican said Pope Francis would visit his predecessor Pope emeritus Benedict next week.

The criminal gang, which was said to be aided by \"facilitators\" in Barcelona and London, was described by the European police force as \"very well organised\". The raids on dozens of properties, which occurred in the early hours of Wednesday and involved more than 250 officers, were the result of an investigation led by a special unit of the Italian Carabinieri - Italy's military police - and supported by police investigators in Spain, Germany and the UK. A spokeswoman for the UK's Metropolitan Police said that after acting on a European Arrest Warrant, officers had detained a 64-year-old man in the Greater London area and recovered three relics believed to be of Roman origin. Prior to the raids on Wednesday, some 3,000 authentic cultural items and a further 1,200 fake items were seized by the Italian Carabinieri, Europol added. Tools used by the criminal gang to retrieve the items, including metal detectors, have been confiscated by the police. The case is considered to be one of the largest of its kind involving the illegal removal of artefacts from archaeological sites in Italy.

When asked about the proposal on the eve of the Royal College of Nursing's annual conference, the union's president could not hide her contempt. Andrea Spyropoulos branded it a \"stupid idea\" which would waste taxpayers' money and, in all likelihood, never see the light of day. Divisive The government though seems determined to dig its heels in. It says it will be proceeding with the pilots and launched its own attack on the RCN, claiming they had not yet satisfactorily answered the criticisms aimed at the organisation by the Stafford Hospital public inquiry. But why has one proposal provoked such anger? For nurses, it is simple. They feel they are being unfairly targeted as they believe the implication is that they are motivated to become a nurse for the wrong reason. There were 290 recommendations made by the Stafford Hospital public inquiry. Making nurses work for a year before they can even start training was not one of them. Instead, it was the idea of government and announced as part of its package of measures in response to the public inquiry. There has also been a lack of detail about how it will work. Nurses already spend half of their three-year degree working on placements. Will this year as a healthcare assistant count towards that? There is also a question mark over whether the work will need to be completed before applying, which would mean over 200,000 people working as healthcare assistants, or once someone has gained a place on a course, which would require 20,000 posts to be found. The Department of Health has been quick to counter that all this needs to be teased out during the piloting of the initiative, which could start later this year. Unnecessary? But that does not seem to be convincing delegates at the nursing conference. Gavin Wollacott, who has just finished his training and is now working in the East Midlands, says: \"I worked as a healthcare assistant for 10 years and that stood me in good stead. \"But that does not mean everyone needs to. You could end up excluding lots of really talented people.\" Elinor Durston, who is in her final year of training, agrees. \"The only caring experience I have is that I looked after my dying mother. But I am really motivated about caring for people. \"I have done all sorts of placements during my training - in the community, in hospital and in mental health. What really matters is the quality of the mentoring you get during that.\" However, away from the tribalism of the conference some do believe the idea has merit. Southampton University expert Peter Griffiths, one of the leading nursing academics, admits there are lots of unanswered questions, but he believes if the government gets it right it could help improve the quality of nursing. \"If the work experience was properly integrated with nurse training and served to provide an extended opportunity for hands on care that would be something that was strongly welcomed by many in the profession.\"",

                "In theory, it sounded like a good idea.

The new fossils are probably up to 10 million years older,\" the study's co-author Zhe Chen, from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, told AFP. He added: \"At least three living groups of animals have paired appendages (represented by arthropods, such as bumblebees; annelids, such as bristle worms; and tetrapods, such as humans). \"Arthropods and annelids, or their ancestors, are possibilities.\" The animal appears to have paused from time to time, since the trackways seem to be connected to burrows that may have been dug into the sediment, perhaps to obtain food.",

Last year, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei warned him that such a move was \"not in his interest and that of the country\". But Mr Ahmadinejad told reporters on Tuesday that had been \"just advice\". Associated Press journalists who witnessed Mr Ahmadinejad register on Tuesday said election officials were \"stunned\" when he submitted the paperwork. President Hassan Rouhani, a moderate who negotiated a nuclear deal with world powers in 2015, is yet to register but is widely expected to seek a second term. More than 120 people, including six women, submitted their names on the first day of registration on Monday, according to local media. Once the process ends on Saturday, the prospective candidates will be screened for their political and Islamic qualifications by the Guardian Council. The clerical body will announce a final list of vetted candidates on 27 April. Speaking after submitting his paperwork Mr Ahmadinejad said he was only helping his former vice-president, Hamid Baghaei, who registered alongside him. Analysis by BBC Persian's Jamshid Barzegar Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's decision to register is the biggest surprise so far in the presidential election. Ayatollah Khamenei had indicated he did not want Mr Ahmadinejad to stand and it is unusual for anyone in the political establishment to go against the supreme leader's wishes. Those who do tend to pay for it. Hardliners have made it clear they are angry and disappointed. Some have called Mr Ahmadinejad's move \"unacceptable\" and said it will spell the end of his political career. All potential candidates have to be vetted by the Guardian Council and many observers believe Mr Ahmadinejad will not pass this hurdle. But if he does, his entry into the race is likely to take some of the shine off the hardliners' preferred candidate, Ebrahim Raisi. It will also be damaging to President Rouhani - especially with poorer voters who have yet to feel the effects of promised economic improvements following the nuclear deal, and could be swayed by Mr Ahmadinejad's populist rhetoric and promises to bring back subsidies to help people cope with inflation. \"I registered merely to support Baghaei and I will act according to the [supreme] leader's advice,\" he said. \"I'll be serving Mr Baghaei with all my power.\" He added: \"Some people say that the [supreme leader's] advice was meant to completely forbid [me from running], but what the leader said was just advice... I am still committed to my moral promise.\" Ayatollah Khamenei, who holds ultimate power over Iran's civil and religious affairs, said he had told him not to stand because it would \"create bipolar opposites and divisions in the country which I believe is harmful\". The disputed re-election of Mr Ahmadinejad in 2009 triggered the biggest protests in Iran since the Islamic Revolution in 1979. Millions of people demanded a re-run, but the supreme leader insisted the result was valid and ordered a major crackdown on dissent that saw dozens of opposition supporters killed and thousands detained. Analysts said Mr Ahmadinejad might be trying to put pressure on the Guardian Council not to disqualify Mr Baghaei, as it did with his former chief-of-staff in 2013. Mr Baghaei was detained for seven months in 2015 on unspecified charges. In March, the judiciary said the case was still open, Reuters news agency reports.",

And the new Brexit deadline is, you guessed it, Halloween. So to get all the terrible metaphors about horror shows, ghosts and ghouls out of the way right now, let's consider straight away some of the reasons why this decision is a treat in one sense, but could be a trick too. A treat? First and most importantly, the EU has agreed to put the brakes on. We will not leave tomorrow without a deal. The prime minister's acceptance that leaving the EU without a formal arrangement in place could be a disaster won out. She has at least avoided the possible turmoil of leaving with no arrangement, which for so long Theresa May claimed to countenance. The UK now has nearly six more months to work out exactly how it wants to leave the EU. Of course it gives those trying to block the departure more time to try to make that happen too. But in its simplest sense, the prime minister asked for a delay so that she didn't open Pandora's Box. The EU eventually said yes, even on a different timetable. Theresa May is of course likely to still try to move as quickly as possible. And there are quite a few potential tricks. This new October deadline might not solve very much at all. It's longer than those who wanted a short delay hoped. So there won't be immediate pressure on the prime minister's current plan (which might be a vain hope) of getting out of this - finding common ground with the Labour party. Certainly, everyone in politics involved in Brexit could do with a breather, but a pause of such duration might just enable more delay, as the chance to quicken the tempo fades away. And with only limited expectations for that process anyway, it's likely sooner or perhaps later that the prime minister will be back in Parliament again asking MPs to coalesce around an option that could command a majority that could last a while. Again, without time pressure, it's not clear why Parliament would suddenly be in a rush to agree. That's why it's not entirely surprising to hear the EU Council president warn minutes after the agreement that the UK must not waste the extra time it's been given. Election or another referendum? This could, although I hate to say it, just make way for months of extra gridlock before the UK and the EU find themselves back here in a similar situation in the autumn. That's why, potentially, an election might become the way out that few want is still possible. And don't be in any doubt that those in Parliament and outside pushing for another referendum, or to stop Brexit altogether, will use this opportunity to make their case more and more loudly. Even Brexiteers in Cabinet, who are completely committed to the cause, acknowledge that the further away from the referendum in 2016, the weaker the mandate for departure becomes. There is though, still time for a leadership contest in the Tory Party that would leave a new prime minister in charge, to find a new way out. Even before the official confirmation of the decision came, one minister got in touch to say that now the prime minister can stay on \"in name only\" with a leadership contest getting going as early as just after Easter and a new leader in place by early summer. Perhaps, by the time this new deadline approaches, someone else will be trying to untangle the mess. If that happens, the EU, which deeply fears a more Eurosceptic leader, might just have played a trick on themselves.",

It brings staff levels to 455, the same as Russia's complement in Washington. This is thought to be the largest action against diplomatic staff from any country in modern history, says the BBC's Laura Bicker in Washington. The number includes Russian employees of the US diplomatic missions across Russia, the BBC's Sarah Rainsford in Moscow adds. Staff in the embassy in Moscow as well as the consulates in Ekaterinburg, Vladivostok and St Petersburg are affected, she says. The US said the move was a \"regrettable and uncalled for act\". \"We are assessing the impact of such a limitation and how we will respond to it,\" a state department official said. It is not known exactly how many US citizens are employed in the diplomatic missions currently. However, a State Department Inspector General's report in 2013 said more than 900 staff members were \"local hires\", with only 301 \"direct-hire\" staff, meaning it seems likely a far lower number than 755 will be actually forced to leave Russia. Mr Putin did strike a conciliatory note, saying he did not want to impose more measures, but also said he could not see ties changing \"anytime soon\". Mr Putin told Russian television: \"More than 1,000 people were working and are still working\" at the US embassy and consulates, and that \"755 people must stop their activities in Russia\". Russia has also said it is seizing holiday properties and a warehouse used by US diplomats. Mr Putin suggested he could consider more measures, but said: \"I am against it as of today.\" He also noted the creation of a de-escalation zone in southern Syria as an example of a concrete result of working together. However, in terms of general relations, he added: \"We have waited long enough, hoping that the situation would perhaps change for the better. \"But it seems that even if the situation is changing, it's not for anytime soon.\" Analysis: Russian hopes dashed by Jonathan Marcus, BBC News, defence and diplomatic correspondent Russia hoped for a change in the climate; one where the lifting of many of the western sanctions imposed after its annexation of Crimea might become possible. But more than this, it wanted a new deal between the US and Russia that would acknowledge Moscow as an equal diplomatic player and indeed as a partner in trouble spots, such as Syria, and in the wider struggle against Islamist terror. These hopes have now come to nothing. Russia seems to have placed unrealistic hopes in what President Trump might achieve. Did Mr Putin see him as a forceful like-minded character, or as a political and diplomatic lightweight that might be manipulated and dominated? Either way Russia's own actions in intruding into the US political space and the subsequent investigations, have precluded any fresh start. Russia perhaps failed to understand the Congressional hostility to its activities, mistaking the Trump insiders' lack of concern for the predominant view of the president's supporters on Capitol Hill. Read more: The US and Russia: An uncertain path The new US sanctions were in retaliation both for Russia's annexation of Crimea in 2014 and Russian interference in the US election. In December, the Obama administration ordered the seizure of two Russian diplomatic compounds and expelled 35 Russian diplomats in response to alleged hacking of the US Democratic Party and Hillary Clinton's campaign. The new US sanctions on Russia were overwhelmingly approved by both houses of Congress, despite objections from President Donald Trump who wants warmer ties between the two countries. The White House said on Friday that he would sign the sanctions bill after fears he could veto it. Mr Trump was believed to be particularly concerned about a provision in the new bill that limits his ability to lift sanctions - forcing him to consult Congress first. Some European countries are also angry because the new law could penalise European companies that invest in big Russian oil and gas projects such as the new Nord Stream II pipeline. US intelligence agencies believe Russia tried to sway the election in favour of Mr Trump and now there are several investigations looking into whether anyone from his campaign helped. Russia has always denied interfering and Mr Trump insists there was no collusion. Get news from the BBC in your inbox, each weekday morning",

The abuse is thought to have taken place outside care homes. The police would not reveal details of individual cases, but in a statement, they said officers had become \"increasingly concerned about the issue of child sexual exploitation following an internal review. \"As part of this review, we have identified a group of 22 young people who may be at risk from child sexual exploitation and are seeking to identify those who may have committed crimes against them.\" Pam Hunter of the charity Nexus, which offers counselling to victims of abuse, said: \"It's a shocking news story. \"The whole thing about this crime is that people groom you and entice you with gifts and money and you think you're walking into this voluntarily, but it is a crime. \"Hopefully the police are working hard to catch these criminals, because it needs to be stopped and stopped now.\" BBC NI reporter Chris Page said officers believed that although the case was complex there was enough evidence to go ahead and launch an investigation.

Current President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is not immune either - cartoons ridicule his looks and prominent nose. His falling out with Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei may have something to do this. So it came as a surprise when a cartoonist was recently sentenced to 25 lashes for publishing a caricature of a right-wing MP from Iran's Central Province. Mahmoud Shokrayeh's cartoon of Ahmad Lotfi Ashtiani appeared in the Nam-e Amir journal, published in the central city of Arak. It showed the MP wearing a football kit in the middle of a pitch with one arm on his waist, holding an award certificate in one hand and with his foot on a football. A number of Iranian politicians have recently been criticised for interfering in sports. 'Cruel' punishment Other Iranian cartoonists were quick to come to Shokrayeh's defence. Mana Neyestani condemned the sentence on his colleague as \"cruel and uncivilised\". He went on to call on others to publish more cartoons of the MP in solidarity with Shokrayeh. Other reactions followed. Prominent journalist and blogger Masih Alinejad published an interview with Esmail Kowsari, a member of the parliament's National Security Committee. She quoted the MP as saying: \"I doubt such a sentence would be issued for just a caricature. An accusation has its own punishment.\" In another post, she wrote: \"Mr MP, a caricature does not mean insult and rudeness.\" Alinejad also praised Mana for his suggestion of more cartoons lampooning the MP. This was followed by the sudden appearance of a number of cartoons lampooning Mr Ashtiani. Cartoonist Jamal Rahmati posted a simple cartoon of the MP, with a caption saying: \"Mr MP, if drawing your cartoon leads to 25 lashes, please come and lash me too.\" Meanwhile, Vahid Nikgoo's cartoon showed Mr Ashtiani looking into a mirror with a speech bubble saying: \"I'll take you to court and sentence you to lashes so that you won't draw me like this any more!\" And comments by Iranians on the Balatarin community website were indicative of the mood. \"If I had the skill, I would draw cartoons of this MP for a whole week and upload them onto the net,\" wrote Majidkhan. \"A plea to all those who can, roll your sleeves up and get drawing!\" \"This poor MP made it worse for himself. If he had kept quiet, no-one would have seen the cartoon. He himself has made it go international!\" said another.

            "input": "By Michelle RobertsHealth editor, BBC News online Using world survey data, the Lancet study authors found life satisfaction followed a predictable trajectory depending on where people lived. In countries such as the UK and the US, life satisfaction followed a U-shape, dipping to a low in midlife. In Africa it was low throughout, and in Eastern Europe, the former Soviet Union and Latin America it declined with age. The reasons behind the trends were multiple and complex, but there were some plausible explanations as well as important lessons to be learned, said Prof Andrew Steptoe, of University College London, and colleagues. Their report is part of a series on health and ageing, published in The Lancet, warning of a growing burden of chronic disease and diminished wellbeing affecting the quality of life of older people. Satisfaction The researchers used four years of data from the Gallup World Poll in more than 160 countries covering more than 98% of the world's population, to make their evaluations. As well as physical health and pain, they considered three measures of wellbeing: In Western world nations, life satisfaction bottomed out between the ages of 45 and 54 before rising again. Co-researcher Angus Deaton, of Princeton University in the US, said economics could explain this. \"This is the period at which wage rates typically peak and is the best time to work and earn the most, even at the expense of present wellbeing, so as to have increased wealth and wellbeing later in life,\" he said. It might explain why elderly people were happier despite becoming more frail - although poorer health led to lower ratings of life satisfaction among the elderly, higher life satisfaction seemed to stave off physical health declines. In transition countries, such as the former Soviet Union, life satisfaction declined steadily with age and was generally lower overall than in the West. This could again be linked to economics, said the researchers. Older people in these countries had lost a system that, however imperfect, had given meaning to their lives, and, in some cases, their pensions and their health care. In sub-Saharan Africa, satisfaction was very low throughout life, while stress and worry was high. \"The findings undoubtedly show the recent experiences of the region and the distress that these events have brought to older people,\" said Prof Deaton. Prof Steptoe said while money did not equate to happiness, economic progress did promote wellbeing to an extent. \"It would appear that wellbeing goes along with economic prosperity in the world,\" he said.",

We spent less than an hour in \"pod 1\" of ARI's Covid ICU and it was a total reality check on the effect of the second wave of the virus. Eighty-three-year-old Meg Thomson is one of 11 patients being treated there. Against the constant hiss of oxygen and the beeping of monitors, Meg tells me she doesn't know where she contracted the virus or how she ended up in ICU but, with grit and stoicism, she is determined to get better. \"I dinnae give up very easily,\" she says. \"I've got my ups and downs but I feel positive.\" In the neighbouring bed, 65-year-old Dot Bright says she started feeling unwell just over a week ago. After deteriorating rapidly, she was admitted to the ICU. \"The night before I was brought in here, I thought I was finished,\" she says \"It's the biggest scare I've had in my life. Take it serious.\" In the last month, the number of Covid patients in hospital have doubled and the staff in ICU know that means there will be more needing critical care in the next few weeks. Working 12-hour shifts in visors, gloves, gowns and masks is hot and uncomfortable. Every time you enter or leave \"the pod\" the protracted routine of donning and doffing must take place. And that goes for the nurses and doctors as well as domestic staff bringing in equipment or taking the bins away. Chloe Burdett has been an ICU nurse for three years and she says everyone is tired and trying to stay motivated. \"To know that people are so unwell, when we thought we'd gotten over that, it's very difficult to see that again and know it's still out there and it's still a threat to everyone,\" she says. Helen Paddon, the head nurse for critical care, says it has been the most difficult year of her nursing career. \"The nursing staff are working longer hours than they should do, in full PPE,\" she says. Staff here say they have been lucky to escape the full impact of the second wave felt in other parts of Scotland. But a specialist national unit, which is based in the Aberdeen ICU, means they treat some of the sickest Covid patients in Scotland. The ECMO (Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation) unit, \"pod 2\", has special machines that take on the work of the lungs. It is often the younger people who will be put on ECMO as they are the most likely to survive. Dr Iain Macleod heads up all the hospital's critical care. He tells me that better treatments this time mean more people can avoid intensive care but those who do come tend to stay for some time. \"What we're seeing this time is more of a slow burn, patients are here for longer, they remain very sick,\" he says. And like all hospitals this time round, other work continues. For the critical care team that means running and staffing two intensive care units, one for Covid patients and one for non-Covid. \"Intensive care is an emotionally-charged environment but this year is like nothing I have ever seen before,\" Dr Macleod says. \"Our team have been working incredibly hard over the last six months and there is no end in sight.\" Visiting is not allowed in order to limit the number of people in the hospital but I was granted rare access, alongside a camera operator, because the staff felt it was important that people understood just how serious the threat of this virus is. And it is distressing to see. Dot and Meg have turned a corner but there are others in the unit who might not make it. The staff have to deal with that and they have to deal with working in full PPE, getting used to smiling with their eyes as they comfort frightened patients. They also have to deal with their own fears of the virus, their own stresses of seeing people so critically ill, and taking that home at the end of a busy shift to everyday family life. Dot tells me: \"The people in here can't be more helpful. They stand here for four or five hours without a break. They're here with you all the time.\"",

Swansea Council aims to preserve its historic features while providing workspace for more than 130 people. The public can now comment on the plans for the High Street theatre. The proposed design by GWP Architecture includes mezzanine floors that look down towards a stage - as theatre audiences once would have done. Auditorium balustrades would be reinstated and the stage would be retained to host small performances. A section of tiered seating would be kept for presentation space. The plans have been assisted by the public through the Friends of Place Theatre Group and through engagement with Welsh historic monuments body CADW, council officers, the Theatres Trust and the Victorian Society. Council leader Rob Stewart said: \"We're preserving this landmark city centre building and now have plans which help point the way forward. \"The sense of the theatre is to be retained within the building wherever possible, with the opportunity for workspaces to be laid out overlooking the original auditorium void towards the stage on split levels. \"Our plan will help transform the High Street area - already benefiting from many millions of private investment - and will help our exciting regeneration work across the city centre. \"We thank the public and business for their input so far - and ask them to give us feedback on the new plans that they've already greatly influenced.\" A full planning application will be made later this year.

The majority of schools in Wales appear to be closing while councils are focusing on key services. The government says it needs to make changes to pensions because of an ageing population. The exact number of people taking part in the 24-hour action will not be known until the day of the strike, but members of over 20 unions in Wales will be involved and councils expect major disruption. Contingency plans Union members will be at pickets across the country on Wednesday, with major marches and rallies being held in Cardiff, Carmarthen, Aberystwyth, Mold, Bangor, Haverfordwest, Llandrindod Wells, Swansea and Wrexham. It appears the majority of schools in Wales will close, although, as of Friday afternoon, many were still to announce what they plan to do. Parents are being urged to check with their children's head teachers for more information. Some local authorities also have lists of school closures on their websites. Councils say they will focus on key services, like social services and meals on wheels, and some have put in place alternative dates for refuse collections if people's bins are not able to be emptied. Council-run public transport may also be affected, although they will not know until Wednesday how many staff will turn up to work. Cardiff Bus said it currently planned to run a partial service, albeit potentially restricted to major routes for a limited period. The company said the strike could cause \"major disruption, given that many people in Cardiff and the Vale may not be able to attend work, including for activities that are vital to the community, such as social care, medical care and emergency services\". \"We are aware from customer feedback of other concerns, for example the ability to attend hospital appointments or visit sick relatives, and also concern from those who may not be able to attend work, but cannot afford to lose a day's pay in these very difficult economic times,\" it added. Police forces and fire services said they had plans in place to deal with civilian staff striking to ensure front line services will not be badly affected. North Wales Police said police officers would be answering 999 calls in its control room. Front-line policing \"This will inevitably mean that some officers may be asked to perform different duties whilst the strike is under way, however any changes to duties will be kept to a minimum,\" Deputy Chief Constable Ian Shannon said. \"We are determined that front-line policing will not be unduly affected.\" Gwent Police said some non-emergency services will be affected. \"Whilst front counter services in Newport Central Police Station will be unaffected, non emergency front counter services at all other Gwent stations will be closed to the public for the 24 hour period,\" it said. Government buildings in Cardiff Bay and Cathays Park, Cardiff will open, although it is not known how many staff will turn up to work. The assembly's usual Wednesday afternoon plenary session has not been scheduled next week and committee meetings in Cardiff Bay have been cancelled. The Conservatives and Liberal Democrats say their assembly members will turn up for work as usual. But Labour and Plaid Cymru AMs will not cross picket lines into Ty Hywel, which houses AMs' offices. Plaid said its members and their staff will work elsewhere or in their constituencies. Although clinical and medical staff in hospitals will work - the British Medical Association and Royal College of Nursing are not taking industrial action - some staff in hospitals will be on strike which would cause some delays. Courts and driving tests will also be disrupted, but Cardiff airport said it was not expecting any disruption. The UK government says it will not be calling on the Army to step in and it does not believe emergency services will be hit. Ministers insist talks over the pension changes are still ongoing and therefore it is unjustifiable to take action now. But the TUC, which is co-ordinating the strike, said on its website: \"The government wants to make people pay more and work longer for a lot less. Despite hours of talks, ministers have yet to seriously negotiate.\"",

But the ICC could not determine whether the UK had acted to shield soldiers from prosecution. The MoD said the ICC report \"vindicates our efforts to pursue justice where allegations have been founded\". The ICC told the BBC: \"It is without dispute there is evidence war crimes were committed.\" Its report said there was a reasonable basis to conclude that at least seven Iraqis were illegally killed while in British custody between April and September 2003. The ICC report refers to evidence of a pattern of war crimes carried out across a number of years by soldiers from several British regiments. Some detainees were raped or subjected to sexual violence. Others were beaten so badly they died from their injuries. The Iraqi individuals, many of them civilians, were unarmed and in British custody at the time. The UK government has repeatedly accused human rights lawyers of bringing vexatious claims, but the ICC says it is \"disingenuous to describe the entire body of claims, involving hundreds of claimants, as baseless or spurious\". A BBC Panorama investigation last year revealed that British detectives had also found credible evidence of war crimes committed in Iraq. But the programme discovered that despite this, not one of the cases was taken forward by the army's prosecution service. The ICC said it took Panorama's findings very seriously, and that on the whole the information it received was consistent with the reports in the programme. It could \"not rule out\" that there had been a cover up on the part of the British authorities. 'Inadequate' Its report concluded that investigations by the Royal Military Police had been \"inadequate\" and were \"marred by a lack of independence and impartiality\". However, it could not make a determination as to whether the UK had acted to shield soldiers from prosecution. The ICC said it will reopen its examination of the UK's conduct in Iraq \"should new facts or evidence\" come to light. The UK government is currently seeking to introduce a controversial new law which will make it harder to prosecute British soldiers. It says the Overseas Operations (Service Personnel and Veterans) Bill, if passed, \"delivers on the government's manifesto commitment to tackle vexatious claims and end the cycle of re-investigations against our brave Armed Forces\". After scrutinising the proposed legislation, Parliament's Joint Human Rights Committee has said: \"We found that the real problem is that investigations into incidents have been inadequate, insufficiently resourced, insufficiently independent and not done in a timely manner. \"The government is effectively using the existence of inadequate investigations as a reason to legislate to bring in further barriers to bringing prosecutions or to providing justice for victims\". There is a palpable sense of relief inside the Ministry of Defence that the International Criminal Court will not be pursuing a case against the UK government over allegations that British forces in Iraq committed serious war crimes against Iraqi detainees. That said, there's still the potential that the ICC report will cause the government problems. The publication comes as the government tries to pass new legislation aimed at protecting troops from what it calls \"vexatious claims\" by lawyers against British troops over allegations of abuse. Among the proposals of the Overseas Operations Bill is a presumption against prosecution five years after any alleged abuse, unless there's compelling new evidence. The legislation, which has already passed its first stages in the Commons, has been widely criticised by opposition parties, human rights groups, lawyers and some former senior military commanders. The ICC report also raises concerns about the legislation. The Ministry of Defence says the ICC has brought no new evidence to light. But the ICC prosecutor says: \"The fact the allegations investigated by the UK did not result in prosecutions does not mean that these claims were vexatious.\" Those words will be seized upon by the bill's critics. One of the investigations by the Royal Military Police, featured in last year's Panorama, was into the death of Radhi Nama in British custody. The Royal Military Police concluded he had died of a heart attack - even though his body and face showed signs he had been beaten. To date, no one has been prosecuted in connection with Radhi Nama's death. His daughter, Afaf Radhi Nama, told Panorama: \"I saw torture signs on his body. \"They covered his head and tied his hands, he could not defend himself, and they killed him. It is my wish to see the soldiers who committed this crime put on trial and facing justice. \"If I was a British citizen my rights would be respected, but because I am an Iraqi citizen, it seems I have no rights.\" Defence Secretary Ben Wallace said the ICC review \"confirms that the UK is willing and able to investigate and prosecute claims of wrongdoing by armed forces personnel\". He said it had brought to light \"no new evidence\" and the ICC statement \"vindicates our efforts to pursue justice where allegations have been founded\". \"I am pleased that work we have done, and continue to do, in improving the quality and assurances around investigations has been recognised by the ICC,\" he said. \"The Service Justice System Review and the appointment of Sir Richard Henriques to provide assurance of our investigative processes are all steps towards making sure we have one of the best service justice systems in the world.\"",

But mathematician David Hodge said that people would be much less likely to win any other cash prize. This is because under the new rules, the pool of numbers that players have to choose from will increase from 49 to 59. For example, as it stands, people choose six numbers up to 49, and the odds of winning the Lotto jackpot are just under one in 14 million. These odds will lengthen to around one in 45 million when the new changes come in. Increasing the number pool size will roughly halve people's current chance of getting a cash prize - apart from through the Millionaire's Raffle - said Mr Hodge, a lecturer in statistics from the University of Nottingham. \"The chance of winning something monetary is dropping by between 40% and 50%,\" he told the BBC. More winners? Camelot said the new Lotto Millionaire's Raffle \"will guarantee at least two millionaires each week in addition to 20 winners of £20,000 in every draw\". Also, under the changes to the rules, players who match two numbers will win a Lucky Dip ticket for a future draw. Camelot said this will create an \"extra 1.8 million winners each week\". But Mr Hodge said that it was just the chance of having another go at the game that would increase, rather than winning a cash prize. \"Now the vast majority of your 'wins' are just winning another ticket for next week - which is just shy of a 10% chance. Sure, winning another ticket does give you another chance to win next week, but it doesn't come close to the almost halved chance each time of winning £25,\" he said. However, he added that people played Lotto for different reasons. If people played with the aim of giving money to charity, or simply for the fun of playing, they would be more likely to like the new rules, he said.",

Yet most of the medals adorning Mr MacNeil's crisp blue blazer as he stands at the Middleton war memorial on Remembrance Day have been awarded by the former USSR and the Russian Federation. He has been honoured four times by the Russians in 1985, 1995, 2005 and 2010. Winston Churchill said the convoys carried out \"the most dangerous journey in the world\". Yet veterans believe they have received scant recognition from the British government for their sacrifices and the enormous risks they ran. Chipping ice The Arctic sailors received the same medal as those who served on the Atlantic convoys. \"The Arctic was totally different to the Atlantic - somebody needs to tell them in Whitehall,\" said Mr MacNeil. \"They gave us an Atlantic medal it was like giving us something from a corn flake packet.\" Mr MacNeil, who joined the Royal Navy in 1941 age 16, served as an anti-aircraft gunner but a lot of his time was spent battling the elements. \"If you didn't shift the ice the ship could capsize, it was in danger of overturning,\" he said. \"We had to try and chip it off with hammers and scrapers - anything you could lay your hands on. \"They were terrible conditions. You daren't touch any metal rail on deck as your hand would stick to it. \"When the bows [of the ship] went into a wave you thought they were never going to come out again, you would breathe a sigh of relief and say that's it until the next comes. It was shocking, you did four hours on deck unless it was action stations.\" Frozen clothes He added: \"When you got down below, it was mayhem. All the asbestos had come off the deck heads - the floors were swamped, everything was wet. \"You had no dry clothing and hoped the first lot you had worn had dried out but it never did it stayed wet all the time. You daren't go on the upper deck as it would have frozen to you.\" Prime Minister David Cameron told MPs at Prime Minister's Questions on Wednesday he had \"every sympathy\" with the case of the Arctic convoy veterans. He said a review would look at the general issue of medals, with the Arctic convoys \"probably the most pressing\". Mr MacNeil and other veterans believe the Cold War was responsible for their lack of recognition. \"It was a political thing because of the Cold War. We were all for the Russians during the war,\" he said. The unspoken hope is that the honour will not be posthumous for those surviving vets. He added: \"It's about time them at the top took their fingers out and did what was right and give us what we're due. \"All it needs is somebody with a bit of common sense to say the Russians have recognised their men it's time for us to recognise our men. \"It would be thanks for a job well done.\"",

Option A is the site of the existing Dartford to Thurrock crossing, option B would connect the A2 with the A1089, while option C would join the M2 in Kent with the A13 and M25 in Essex. It is claimed it could create 6,000 jobs and boost the local economy but groups opposing the plans fear the scheme would damage green belt and destroy local villages. Six panellists discussed the issues surrounding the crossing during a BBC Radio Kent and BBC Essex debate on 8 July. A summary of the points they planned to raise are reproduced below. David Burch, Essex Chambers of Commerce \"A crossing is most definitely needed. The cost to Essex business is extreme and congestion is a real problem. Doing nothing is not an option and Essex needs to lead the way with important transport links. \"Members are continually having to deal with late deliveries, extra fuel costs, tolls and if we do nothing Essex will lose out on inward development and investment. \"London Gateway is also going to cause more traffic problems. We must have a new crossing.\" Paul Carter, Conservative Leader of Kent County Council \"A third crossing is essentially needed. The growth projections for the Thames Gateway will create hundreds of thousands of new homes and hopefully hundreds of thousands of new jobs. \"We have to have a competitive economy and commerce has to get from A to B.\" Natalie Chapman, the Freight Transport Association \"We have discussed the options available extensively with our members and option C - linking the M2 in Kent with the M25 between junctions 29 and 30 - seems to be a clear contender. It would provide a much shorter and more direct route for lorries travelling up from the Channel ports and East Kent to the Midlands and beyond. \"This would lead to extensive savings in fuel and drivers' hours as well as reducing emissions from freight. However, it is by far the most expensive option to construct, so we are concerned that it may lead to potentially high tolls - which, if set at too high a level, could erode any time and fuel cost savings.\" John Kent, Labour Leader of Thurrock Borough Council \"We don't want or need another crossing in Thurrock. Speed up free-flow tolls and speed up investment on Junction 30. We need this now, not in five or 10 years' time.\" Richard Knox-Johnston, CPRE Protect Kent \"The consultation process should be delayed until after the impacts of high-speed tolling have been fully assessed, the junction improvements either side of the crossing have been implemented, the rail charges for freight through the Channel Tunnel have been reviewed and reduced, the full effects of the opening of London Gateway have been assessed and the subsidies for road transport have been calculated together with the new vignette on foreign vehicles. \"We believe there is, at present, no comprehensive and fully analysed case for a new Lower Thames Crossing which would have a major deleterious environmental impact on the area.\" Mike Stephens, Institution of Civil Engineers \"Free-flow tolling may provide a short term solution to the congestion at the toll booths but will not provide a medium or long-term solution to the congestion at the crossing as the bridge and tunnels act as filters for traffic. \"The three solutions suggested each provide different answers and challenges but any of the three would provide a medium to long term benefit. \"The key issue is that delaying a decision is putting off the inevitable - a decision needs to be taken and a new crossing provided as soon as practicable to meet existing and future demand.\"",

            "input": "By Sarah PorterBBC World News The Kidman cattle empire is Australia's largest landholding, encompassing some of the driest and toughest country Australia has to offer. Its story begins in the 1890s with Sir Sidney Kidman and his elder brother Sackville, who embarked on an ambitious venture that would transform agriculture in Australia. The two brothers wanted to grow livestock in the country's dry centre, supported by Queensland's channel country rivers - the Georgina, the Diamantina and Cooper Creek. The plan was that tropical rain from the north would deliver water needed for farming to flourish in this harsh environment. The Kidmans' ambition, wrote biographer Jill Bowman, was to establish \"a chain of stations that were almost drought-proof, places that when linked together would provide a substantial water supply\". Sackville Kidman died in 1899, but Sidney turned their dream into reality, founding the company S. Kidman & Co the same year. Today the business encompasses 19 properties across the Northern Territory, South Australia, Queensland and Western Australia. It owns 101,411 sq km (39,155 sq miles) of land in total - that's more than 1% of Australia's land mass and larger than Ireland. One of its properties is Anna Creek, the world's biggest cattle station, which stretches across 23,677 sq km. The Kidman family has owned and managed the business for 116 years. But in April this year it was put on sale for a projected sum of A$325m ($232m; £152.3m). On Thursday however Australia's government decided to block the sale to foreign investors. Selling so much of Australia's outback to foreigners would be against the national interest, Treasurer Scott Morrison said. His reasoning? Part of property is inside the Woomera Prohibited Area (WPA), a military weapons testing range in South Australia. The country's prime minister, Malcolm Turnbull, said the sale was blocked on national interest grounds and there was no discrimination against any particular buyer. About Sir Sidney Kidman Tomorrow's Kidman Kidman & Co's business focus has long been on growing grass-fed beef for domestic and international markets. Headquartered in Adelaide, the firm says it supplies about 15,000 tonnes of beef carcass every year to markets around the world. It is not clear if prospective buyers would maintain this focus, but there's no argument they would enter Australia's agricultural scene at a pivotal time. As the mining boom subsides and the country looks elsewhere for economic growth, the business of farming the country's vast land for meat and other agricultural commodities has never been more important. Mr Morrison indicated that the government may be willing to see Kidman broken for sale. So foreign investors may yet possess at least some of its vast cattle empire. Simon Talbot, head of the National Farmers Federation, told the BBC that opening up agricultural growth in northern Australian areas couldn't be done without foreign investment. Even where large agricultural properties were foreign owned, the produce grown on them needed be transported using Australian infrastructure and jobs would be generated for Australian workers, he explained. \"People are starting to realise that as the mining boom is over, agriculture could become the next pillar of the Australian economy - but unfortunately we're not going to get there without significant investment,\" he said.",

When the US singer and rapper arrived on the red carpet, everyone was drawn to her bright blue hair and outfit. She was accompanied by two terrifying, faceless-masked, muscled men carrying her giant pigtails. As an up-and-coming artist, Ashnikko wasn't going to be upstaged by some of the other huge A-listers at the event. \"It was a real moment and is one of those occasions I'll be remembering when I'm 80 years old with a rose wine in my hand.\" 'I'm very annoying' Mixing genres including pop, rock and rap, her track Daisy is all over BBC Radio 1 right now and she's currently preparing for the release of her debut mixtape, Demidevil. So far, Ashnikko says she's done everything her way. \"I'm very annoying and I don't take no for an answer when it comes to my career, which makes me unpleasant to some people. It's taken me quite some time to get to where I am.\" Whether she's covered in fake blood or sneezing blue dye, Ashnikko's social media - especially TikTok - has got her noticed. It stands out but she has to keep it at arms' length because it's too easy for her mental health \"to deteriorate and crumble\". \"The way I interact with fans on social media has definitely changed in the past year as I've gained more exposure. It's not as personal as I would like it to be. \"I love my supporters. They're hilarious, lovely, intelligent people but I can't have as close a relationship with them as I could before. There are a lot of trolls on the internet and I just have to protect myself. \"I think it's about treating social media more as a business rather than somewhere I go to gain a sense of self worth and validation. It's a fine line.\" Ashnikko's music is for fans of: A native of North Carolina, she's recently settled in London but is currently residing in Detroit, Michigan to ride out coronavirus. Putting a project together in Covid-19 times has been \"stress inducing\" and she says a lot of \"blood, sweat and tears\" has gone into the record. \"I have nurtured her for a long time. I've been sitting on some of these songs for nearly 18 months. This project is finally the one I'm proud of.\" On Deal With It, she samples Kelis' Caught Out There, she's collaborated with Grimes on Cry and there's also a reworking of Avril Lavigne's Sk8er Boi. \"It's called Later Boy and it's probably the favourite song from my mixtape.\" What's even sweeter for Ashnikko (who's real name is Ashton Casey) is Avril's team agreeing to the cover. \"I screamed so loud, She's hardly cleared the use of that track to anyone since it came out in 2002. Now, I just need to know that she'll hear it.\" Lavigne is one of Ashnikko's musical idols and part of her wider group of favourite \"female powerhouses\" that includes M.I.A., Nicki Minaj, Missy Elliott, Gwen Stefani, Bjork, Dolly Parton and Lil Kim. \"I didn't listen to any men before the age of 16. I would go to heaven if I could see them all play.\" Like so many other artists, Ashnikko is missing the live music scene and had grand plans for her stage shows, including pumping a \"bubble-gum smell\" into the audience to create a sensory overload. Instead, she's working towards a memorable livestream show with \"theatrics, animatronic dinosaurs and dragons\", proving that - right from the start of her career - nothing Ashnikko does is understated.

            "input": "By Jonathan AmosScience correspondent, BBC News The big aerospace concern was declared the winner at the latest meeting of the European Space Agency's (Esa) Industrial Policy Committee (IPC). A contract valued in the hundreds of millions of euros will be signed by Esa and Airbus in due course. The existing Metop series, as it is known, has a profound impact on the quality of weather forecasting. The satellites' sensors gather profiles of atmospheric conditions, layer by layer. Studies comparing all the different types of meteorological observations (including surface weather stations, balloons and aeroplanes, etc) have found Metop data to have the biggest single contribution to the accuracy of the 24-hour look ahead, at around 25%. The improved forecasts of storms and other extreme events are estimated to be worth billions of euros annually in terms of lives saved and property damage avoided. Thursday's IPC decision is therefore a critically important one for the continent, by ensuring there is continuity of data when the existing series of Metop satellites is retired. \"Metop first generation has established itself as an essential series of satellites for weather forecasting. It gives the most detailed measurements from space for such purposes,\" explained Esa programme manager Graeme Mason. \"The first objective of the second generation (SG) is simply to continue the observations without a gap because we cannot do without them. But we want also to improve the measurements - to improve the resolution, to see finer details in the atmosphere. \"And the third objective is to make additional measurements, and we'll be flying a couple of new instruments,\" he told BBC News. Metop-SG will carry 11 instruments spread across two platforms. This is a major difference from the first generation series which packs all the sensors on to a single satellite. Two of these spacecraft have so far been launched; a third will go up at the end of the decade. Another major difference between the two series will be the approach to end-of-life decommissioning. The first series will be de-orbited by nudging them down from their roughly 800km-high operational altitude until they are caught by the atmosphere, and pulled in to burn to destruction. This should take no more than 25 years, to comply with international space-debris guidelines. The disposal of the second generation, however, will be faster and more controlled. The satellites will fly with bigger fuel tanks and more powerful thrusters, enabling them to target their destructive dive on to an uninhabited region of the South Pacific. The whole procedure should take just a month. Esa says the accumulation of old hardware in orbit is becoming a significant issue and the plans for Metop-SG demonstrate the seriousness with which it is tackling the problem. The competitors for the SG contract were given an additional two months to work out how best to carry out the de-orbiting. It will mean two thirds of the fuel on each spacecraft being reserved just for the end-of-life manoeuvres. The first pair of Metop-SG satellites should launch in 2021/22. The third and final pair will likely go up in the 2030s, ensuring continuity of data deep into the 2040s. Airbus will use its facilities in Germany, France and the UK for most of the work on Metop-SG. Jonathan.Amos-INTERNET@bbc.co.uk and follow me on Twitter: @BBCAmos",

That is despite the number added being twice the level just three weeks ago. Meanwhile, he raised the possibility of a \"second or even third peak\" of coronavirus, with a \"real potential\" to see transmission rates increase again. The numbers of people with coronavirus being treated by the Welsh NHS currently \"continues to fall\", he told the Welsh Government daily press conference. Dr Goodall told journalists there were \"potential opportunities to see this virus could rise to another peak\" despite the \"very modest and cautious approach\" being taken to exit the lockdown in Wales. More details on how the Welsh Government expects to exit lockdown will be released on Friday. There have been concerns people who need help with non-coronavirus problems have not been seeking help. Dr Goodall stressed the NHS remains open and available to people who need emergency and urgent care and treatment. On cancer referrals, Dr Goodall said the number of people \"added to the waiting list is twice the level just three weeks ago\", but \"remains lower than in previous years\". The Welsh Government said there were \"nearly 2,000\" people added to the list of those waiting for cancer diagnosis in the week starting 3 May. Giving figures on the \"overall reduction\" in the number of people seeking treatment, Dr Goodall said 10% fewer people were being transported to hospital by ambulance, daily attendances to emergency departments have fallen by a third, and emergency admissions to hospital have also reduced by a third. There are signs that activity in the health service is returning closer to the usual levels for this time of year, he said, but he encouraged people to seek emergency care if they need it. About 39% of acute hospital beds are empty - around 2,700 beds. He said that was less than last week because of evidence that more \"normal\" NHS activity is starting to increase. 581 in hospital with Covid-19 Dr Goodall said there had been a stabilisation and reduction of new confirmed cases. \"In recent days around one in nine of the tests we do every day are positive.\" There are 581 people with confirmed coronavirus in hospital on Thursday, and a further 298 suspected cases - lower than last week and the lowest number of Covid-related hospital patients since the start of April. A total of 66 people are being treated in critical care beds for Covid-19. Dr Goodall said it was lower than last week and more than 60% lower than the peak seen in April. \"More than 3,100 people have been discharged from hospital,\" he said \"But most people who have had coronavirus will have stayed at home.\" Dr Andrew Goodall also said the Welsh Government will be involved in UK-wide discussions on the use of antibody testing. The test, which finds out whether people have been infected with coronavirus in the past. has been approved by health officials in England. Mr Goodall told journalists: \"First of all there is a need to check and validate any testing regime to make sure that the accuracy is there that is necessary, and secondly, there would need to be a commercial arrangement in place to deploy that.\"",

            "input": "By Roger HarrabinEnvironment analyst It says if CO2 emissions from the average car were limited to 95g per km, fuel use would be cut by a quarter. The innovations to the vehicle would add about £860 (€1,000) to the price of the average car in 2020. But that extra cost would be offset in less than three years through fuel savings of around £350 (€400) per year. The joint report from consultancies Cambridge Econometrics and Ricardo-AEA says that once all EU cars and vans meet the standard, Europe’s vehicle fleet will be €35bn cheaper to run each year. The report is timed to coincide with the first of a series of votes in the European Parliament on car standards. The 95g limit is proposed by the Commission. It argues that strict standards are essential to sustain the competitiveness of Europe’s car makers and help the EU meet its targets of reducing transport CO2 emissions 60% by 2050. Price point The technology is available: cars like the Ford Focus ECOnetic are already achieving the proposed 2020 standard. The plans may be contentious in Parliament, though, with some German MEPs fearing their impact on manufacturers building bigger, heavier cars. Monday’s report was commissioned by a group of organisations which believe that Europe’s car makers need to ratchet up efficiency to compete with US manufacturers facing President Obama’s demand of 93g/km in 2025 – a demanding target for US car makers starting from a low base. The new report estimates that increased spending on vehicle technology will create 350,000-450,000 net additional jobs if the 95g limit is imposed in Europe. This figure will doubtless be contested. The study was funded by a group including Nissan, the European Association of Automotive Suppliers, GE, the union body IndustriAll and the European Climate Foundation. It focuses only on traditional-engine cars. Improvements are likely to come from many innovations, including building cars from aluminium – much lighter than steel – and installing universal stop-start technology which turns off the engine at traffic lights. Volkswagen has already committed itself to the 95g target. In the run-up to the Geneva Motor Show, Volkswagen’s Martin Winterkorn said the firm intended to become the world’s most environmentally sustainable car maker: “This is a Herculean task calling for the best efforts of all our 40,000 developers. We can do it.” The European car makers' association ACEA told me the rules would harm some manufacturers. A spokesman warned: “Price is the number-one factor motivating a customer's purchasing decision. In a sector where margins are narrow and consumers have a wide range of choice, even a slight relative price rise can make a manufacturer’s range uncompetitive.” The authors of Monday’s study point out that this argument underlines the need for new standards to ensure a level playing field for all car makers. But ACEA continued: “The fact that a car may be cheaper to run once on the road is not relevant if the consumer cannot afford the new technology and instead opts for a used car, with higher emissions – or for keeping his old vehicle, again with higher emissions.\" The campaign group Transport and Environment says this is an old argument from an industry which has been forced by previous standards to improve efficiency and reduce fuel bills. The group argued that the EU needed long-range standards to 2025 to drive further innovation. It also warns that manufacturers are becoming adept at manipulating tests to make cars appear more efficient than they really are. The Commission will need to ensure that the move towards diesel vehicles to improve efficiency does not lead to increased local air pollution from particulates. Follow Roger on Twitter",

            "input": "By Caroline LowbridgeBBC News For several weeks, the Business, Innovation and Skills Committee has been trying to speak to the billionaire, who also owns Newcastle United, about the treatment of his workers at Sports Direct. It follows criticism of working practices at the company's warehouse in Shirebrook, Derbyshire. He has so far refused to attend, though, and the committee has now issued a formal summons ordering him to give evidence at Westminster on 7 June. If he says no, what can MPs actually do to him? Could Mike Ashley be jailed? Both the House of Commons and House of Lords have the power, in theory, to imprison someone for contempt. In the 18th and early 19th Centuries it was a regular punishment for someone to be committed to the custody of the Serjeant at Arms or to prison, according to a Parliamentary Privilege report published in 1999. The last time the House of Commons imprisoned a non-member was in 1880, and the circumstances were strangely similar to Mr Ashley's position - a man by the name of Charles Edmund Grisell failed to attend as a witness before the Tower Hill Level Bridge Committee. Updates on this story and more from Derbyshire. In the past, unruly MPs could be temporarily detained in a room inside the Elizabeth Tower, commonly known as Big Ben. The last time this happened was on 23 June 1880, when newly-elected Northampton MP Charles Bradlaugh refused to take the oath of allegiance and spent a night inside the tower. The room where he was detained is still called the Prison Room, but it is no longer used as a prison. Could Mr Ashley be imprisoned in Big Ben? While a spokesman for the select committee did not say \"no\", they did acknowledge \"the power to imprison has been untested in modern times\". Dr Andrew Blick, part of the Institute of Contemporary British History at King's College London, said imprisonment was likely to be challenged nowadays. \"There are all kinds of issues,\" he said. \"Would someone be able to challenge this under the Human Rights Act if this was done to them? \"They won't lock him [Mike Ashley] up because they haven't done it for so long and it's not clear that they are able to do it. They might get challenged.\" What is Contempt of Parliament? The definition is broad, so a huge number of actions could potentially be considered to amount to a contempt of Parliament. In fact, Erskine May - a book regarded as the Bible of parliamentary practice - notes it is \"impossible\" to list every potential act of contempt. \"Generally speaking, any act or omission which obstructs or impedes either House of Parliament in the performance of its functions, or which obstructs or impedes any Member or officer of such House in the discharge of his duty, or which has a tendency, directly or indirectly, to produce such results, may be treated as a contempt even though there is no precedent of the offence,\" says the book. Disobeying the order of a committee - which Mike Ashley has been warned about - is listed as one of the examples. \"Individuals have been held to be in contempt who did not comply with orders for their attendance made by committees with the necessary powers to send for persons,\" notes Erskine May. However, Mr Ashley has not yet disobeyed the Business, Innovation and Skills Committee, because it only decided to formally issue a summons on 15 March. If he now ignores this summons, the committee would need to raise a complaint of contempt, and the House of Commons would then decide whether a contempt had been committed. Dr Blick said the power to punish for contempt rests in an ancient right known as parliamentary privilege. \"It has not been set out in a modern Act of Parliament,\" he said. \"There has been discussion of doing that over the years but they've never got round to doing it.\" Could Mike Ashley be fined? Erskine May says the House of Lords has the power to inflict fines in its capacity as a court of record. However, it is unclear whether the House of Commons has the same status, particularly as it has not imposed a fine since 1666. This was imposed on a man called Thomas White, who had been ordered into the custody of the Serjeant at Arms for causing Horsham MP Henry Chowne to be arrested and prevented from attending Parliament. White absconded, and was then fined £1,000, equivalent to £114,000 today. A report in 1999 said the power of the House of Commons to fine people should be regarded as lapsed and recommended legislation to give the Commons a statutory power to fine. Could Mr Ashley be told off? Both MPs and non-MPs can be formally reprimanded or admonished by the Speaker of the House of Commons. As a non-MP, Mr Ashley would be brought to the Bar of the House by the Serjeant at Arms, before being admonished by the Speaker. The last non-MP to be admonished for contempt of Parliament was the journalist John Junor on 24 January 1957. He had written an article in the Sunday Express about petrol allocation that had cast doubt on the honour and integrity of MPs. Junor apologised and no further action was taken. The last MP to be admonished was Tam Dalyell in 1968. The Labour MP for West Lothian had given a copy of an unpublished report about Porton Down, the government chemical warfare centre, to the Observer newspaper. His fellow MPs subsequently voted to reprimand him for \"a breach of privilege and a gross contempt of the House\". What is likely to happen? Rupert and James Murdoch found themselves in a similar position to Mr Ashley in 2011, when they initially declined an invitation to attend a select committee to answer questions over phone hacking. They then agreed to appear after the Culture, Media and Sport committee issued summonses. These were the first to be issued by a parliamentary select committee for almost 20 years, since the sons of the late newspaper tycoon Robert Maxwell were ordered to appear in 1992. Mark Stuart, an assistant professor in politics at the University of Nottingham, said pressure from committees was usually enough to make people give evidence. \"Technically they could bring in the Serjeant at Arms as he or she is known and they could call the person to appear because they could be found in contempt of Parliament,\" he said. \"But because that power hasn't been used since the time of Charles Dickens there is great doubt over whether Parliament actually wants to use it, because what would happen is the courts could be dragged in. \"They could have the European Court of Human Rights brought in to review what Parliament has done, so Parliament likes to bring these people in through public pressure, just as the Murdochs were.\" He predicts that Mr Ashley will give in, just as Rupert and James Murdoch did. \"Mike Ashley is just playing games at the moment,\" he said. \"It will be really bad for his company if he doesn't attend.\" Dr Blick predicts that \"some kind of mutual agreement\" will be reached. \"I think he [Mike Ashley] and people advising him will think it's probably better not to be seen to be in a battle with Parliament, the most important democratic body in the country,\" he said. \"My guess is that some kind of mutual agreement is reached as did happen with the Murdochs in the end.\"",

            "input": "Mark D'ArcyParliamentary correspondent Most Westminster observers expected the Commons to embark on eight days of detailed debate, in Committee of the Whole House, pretty much as soon as their conference recess was over. Eyebrows were raised when it was not on this week's agenda - and they shot skywards when it was not put on the agenda for next week. It is not a postponement, because the committee stage has never been scheduled, but something seems to be afoot. What might it be? Challenged in Commons business questions by the SNP's Pete Wishart, Leader of the House Andrea Leadsom noted that MPs had proposed more than 300 amendments and 54 new clauses to the Bill and these were being studied by ministers. And there is little doubt that some of these pose a real threat to the government's tenuous Commons majority. The threat-in-chief is posed by amendments from the Conservative former attorney general, Dominic Grieve, to limit ministers' powers to re-write the law in the process of enacting Brexit. Remember, this Bill is designed to allow the government to reprocess four decades of accumulated EU law into British law, so that the UK has functional legislation on all kinds of crucial areas, come Brexit Day. The powers are pretty sweeping, because the Bill provides a toolkit to build an edifice which has not yet been designed - and Mr Grieve's amendments express the qualms of some MPs (including those of many strong Brexiteers) about their extent. He is the man most likely to amend. Amendments raining down I suspect the government is already whispering to him, behind the scenes, to produce an appropriate compromise, probably with the helpful endorsement of the Commons Procedure Select Committee behind it. Was that the PM's bag-carrier, Seema Kennedy, I spotted in the public galler, when Mr Grieve set out his stall in evidence to the Procedure Committee on Wednesday? If ministers can craft a compromise amendment, via ProcCom, face can be saved and division averted. But with plenty more amendments still raining down, Mr Grieve is not the only threat. A recent addition is an amendment co-signed by the Nottinghamshire axis of Conservative ex-chancellor Ken Clarke and Labour's arch-Europhile, Chris Leslie. This is a cunning production which takes the PM's commitment to a transition from full EU membership to Brexit, made in her Florence speech, and seeks to put it on the face of the Bill. It follows her words precisely. But the killer point is that, if there's no transition, then a fresh act would be required to trigger Brexit day. In other words, if no transition, then they must come back and ask Parliament \"what next?\" Now the government is not legislating against the clock as it was on the Article 50 Bill, when it was racing to get the measure through Commons and Lords before the end of the last Parliamentary year. But its schedule is clearly slipping a little. Packed programme Next week is to be devoted to a little humdrum legislation, an opposition day debate and backbench business - that leaves seven debating weeks before Parliament embarks on its Christmas recess. Take out one week to debate the Budget, and another for the November mini-half term (when a lot of select committee visits have been scheduled) and you have six weeks in which to cram the promised eight committee stage days devoted to the Bill, and the minimum of two days needed for report stage and third reading. Not impossible - but it does make for a packed Parliamentary programme, with little room for anything else. There is rising speculation that the continuing delay in getting going reflects ministerial indecision about how to handle the amendments to the Bill - although another theory is that the government is waiting until next week's European summit is done, in the hope that it can firm up the terms of a possible transitional arrangement. But the heat is on.",

But for young people with learning disabilities and their parents, it can be a time of stress, sadness and anxiety. A new BBC documentary, Special Me, looks into the world of young teenagers with a disability as they close the school door behind them forever. The programme introduces us to Gareth Knox whose life is about to change beyond recognition. He has Down's Syndrome and autism and attends Kilronan school in Magherafelt. When he turns 18, he will move from child to adult services. This will automatically trigger a change in health and social care arrangements including new social workers, new respite arrangements and a fundamental alteration of routine. All that change can be traumatic. His mother Claire speaks about the dreams and hopes she had for her new born son. She knew his life was going to be more difficult than most, but they were as proud and as happy as any new parents could be. \"In my head, Gareth was going to be the first Down's Syndrome prime minister, you know, he was going to be the best thing ever,\" she said. \"We began filming with Gareth seven weeks before he reached his milestone 18th birthday and followed his journey as he made the transition from child to adult services,\" said documentary director Eimhear O'Neill. \"Reaching 18 was a poignant moment for the family who were delighted to see their son come of age, but they were also fearful of this move as it meant his respite arrangements, a life saver for the family, changed,\" she said. \"Gareth has not had an overnight stay since leaving children's services in July though his family are hopeful that some overnight respite under adult services may begin later this month.\" The film also follows Phoebe Dalrymple, 19, on her last week at school. We meet her at the school leavers' party which is a highly moving experience, both for the students, staff and parents. Over the course of the documentary, we rejoin her as she begins part of her next chapter at Alternative Angles in Ballymena - a scheme that teaches new skills to adults with learning difficulties. David Skelly, 32, who has Down's Syndrome, also features. Since he left school 13 years ago, he has worked in both paid and voluntary employment. David is very proud of what he has achieved since leaving school. We join him as he volunteers at The Avenue, a cafe run by Stepping Stones in Lisburn. The charity gives adults with learning disabilities the opportunity to take part in accredited training and gain skills for employment. For director Eimhear, this subject was very close to her heart. \"When I was growing up, I was surrounded by the special needs community in Magherafelt as my mum worked at the local special school,\" she said. \"Every summer, I volunteered in their summer scheme and I was introduced to an incredibly loving, thoughtful and vibrant community. At the end of each academic year, I would ask my mum: 'Who is leaving this year and what will they do when they leave?'\" she said. \"I felt it was very important to invite viewers into the lives of these three very special people and also to the lives of the many individuals with special needs featured in the documentary. \"Like everyone they are confident, scared, hopeful, nervous, funny and brave. We all leave school and move on, but are our post-school options the same?\" Special Me is a Below the Radar production for BBC Northern Ireland.

Network Rail say a record number of young people have lost their life on railway tracks this year. To combat a lack of knowledge about the dangers, the rail industry and the British Transport Police have launched a campaign called You vs Train. The campaign highlights the story of Tom Hubbard, who suffered life changing injuries after being struck by 25,000 volts of electricity when he came into contact with the overhead wires which power some trains. Eleven days after the accident, Mr Hubbard says he woke up in hospital \"wrapped from head to toe in bandages, heavily medicated and unable to string a sentence together\". He had suffered third degree burns across 57% of his body and says he is still dealing with the physical and psychological consequences. \"Four years on I'm still affected by the events of that day and every time I look in the mirror I'm reminded by that one decision to go on the railway,\" he said. \"The accident has made me more of an introvert and cautious of trying new things, often opting to stay in during the day to avoid people, and wear hoodies and long-sleeved tops to hide my scars, even on hot days.\" A film re-enacting Tom's story will be shown in cinemas over the summer. In June three young men were killed by a train near a south London railway station. British Transport Police (BTP) said it is believed they were hit by an out-of-service passenger train. In the past 12 months, seven children have died and a further 48 have received life-changing injuries on the railway. Network Rail said the new figures relate to accidental deaths and injuries as a result of trespassing. They do not include railway deaths which have been recorded as suicides by a coroner or incidents related to level crossings. A survey carried out on behalf of Network Rail and the British Transport Police (BTP), suggests there is a lack of knowledge about the dangers of the railways among young people. It found that 15% of 13 to 18-year-olds believed it was safe to walk on the railway track if there were no trains coming. Only 37% deemed the railway to be extremely dangerous and more than half did not believe that sidings were dangerous.

They were undeterred by a police ban and the arrest of a number of activists ahead of the planned action. Mr Najib has denied any wrongdoing and says he will not be cowed by protests. In a statement on his blog, Mr Najib called Bersih - the electoral reformist group which organised the protest - \"deceitful\". He said the group had become a tool for opposition parties to unseat a democratically elected government. But his accusations were dismissed by Bersih deputy chair Shahrul Aman Shaari, who told the crowds gathered at the National Mosque: \"We are not here to bring down the country. We love this country. We are not here to tear down the government, we're here to strengthen it.\" This is the second rally organised by Bersih, which means \"clean\" in the Malay language, to demand Mr Najib's resignation in 15 months, and comes after weeks of rising tension between the \"yellow shirts\" and pro-government \"red shirts\".

            "input": "By Giancarlo RinaldiSouth Scotland reporter, BBC Scotland news website His son, Alan, took his own life at Lockerbie railway station in June 2015 aged just 31. After the funeral, Mr Ritchie decided to find out all he could about suicide and what more could be done to help people like his boy. It was not about blame, more about focus and purpose, he explained. \"I've spent the last two years in a sense investigating the many charities that are involved in mental health in Dumfries and Galloway,\" he said. \"And what I hope to do within the next year or so is focus on perhaps one or two. \"I am finding out about all of these charities and then focusing in on maybe one or two where I can be of best use to them. \"There are many, many charities out there and many people are perhaps not aware of that and aware of the help that they can get if they can just get to the website or a telephone number or something like that.\" He said the Scottish government was already doing good work to raise awareness of mental health with a 10-year action plan and its work on a suicide reduction strategy which he has been involved with. \"That's where I hope that I can spread the message and signpost to people who may wish to help,\" he said. He recently spoke to a group of 50 mental health nursing students and, through what he describes as his \"journey\" with his own son, he feels he can help others to understand the issue. \"He wasn't a youngster who hid his depression and anxiety - he was very willing to talk about it,\" he said. \"He spent really half his lifetime seeking ways to help him cope with his anxiety and depression - medication, therapy, going to Samye Ling and so on.\" 'Lot of strength' Mr Ritchie said that if someone facing mental health challenges could talk to someone it could help their journey to \"discovery and recovery\" rather than feeling isolated and alone. He said: \"It takes a lot of strength to actually admit: 'I don't feel well, there is something wrong with me psychologically and I need help.' \"That can sometimes be something which they suppress all the time until perhaps it is too late. \"Listening is very, very important.\" He added that simply telling someone to \"man up\" - as was often done - was not the way to help. He said: \"That's not the right answer - the right answer should be: 'Let's sit down, let's talk about it, let's discuss it and let's see where, if you feel you want help, you can get help.'\" 'Strictest confidence' Mr Ritchie said that employers could also have a part to play. \"A good organisation, a caring organisation will call in such charities as, say Samaritans, who will talk to employees about what work they do,\" he said. He said that it sometimes helped to talk to an outsider. \"Some people who have these mental health challenges don't necessarily want to discuss it or open up to family and friends but they may wish to open up to somebody who is impartial, who is non-judgmental, who is a stranger,\" he said. \"They can speak to you in the strictest confidence. \"When you are talking to people about their problems and their issues it is so important you listen and you don't judge and you don't particularly give advice.\" Occasions like World Mental Health Day, which falls on 10 October, help to highlight these issues. 'Help at hand' Mr Ritchie, from Lockerbie, said he had found local politicians had also been willing to spread the word about mental health and the help available. In some circumstances he believes it is appropriate to contact the emergency services - or seek urgent medical help. \"If you are in a crisis and you are feeling so low that you may wish to injure yourself or take your own life - call an ambulance, talk to a friend, talk to a member of your family, go to A&E. \"That's not just a personal thing that is actually written within the strategy that I have looked at through the Scottish Parliament.\" He said that was an option many people might not have thought about. \"If you break your leg, or you're in a car accident or suddenly you've got a terrible sore stomach or a blinding headache you go to A&E,\" he said. \"If you're depressed, if you're low if you don't know where to turn then phone Samaritans or go to A&E and take it from there, help is at hand.\"",

            "input": "By Rianna CroxfordBBC News Dozens of academics have told BBC News they were \"harassed\" out of their jobs and made to sign non-disclosure agreements after making complaints. Figures obtained by the BBC show UK universities spent about £87m on pay-offs with NDAs since 2017. Universities UK says using NDAs to keep victims quiet should not be tolerated. Non-disclosure agreements were designed to stop staff sharing trade secrets if they changed jobs, but now lawyers say they are being misused to protect serial perpetrators of misconduct, and ministers say they want to tighten the rules. The music professor Anahid Kassabian, a former music professor at the University of Liverpool, said she felt like she was treated as a \"burden\" and \"bullied out\" of her 10-year job after being diagnosed with cancer. She has broken her NDA in the hope that others who have been \"through the same horrors\" will realise they are \"not alone\" and will feel empowered to speak out. \"We all think we're isolated and alone, sobbing over past wrongs, when in fact there are many, many of us, and if we could speak to each other it would feel very different,\" she said. Ms Kassabian, 59, who also has multiple sclerosis and fibromyalgia, believes her medical conditions had led to her ability to work being called into question, without the causes of the emotional stress she was under being adequately addressed. But the BBC has seen documents that suggest the university felt it had done all it could to support Ms Kassabian, and it had a responsibility to support the teaching of students and work in the department as well as staff. The University of Liverpool said: \"We refute these allegations in the strongest possible terms. Ms Kassabian was not subject to discrimination or bullying and the university did not fail to make reasonable adjustments. \"Settlement agreements with a standard confidentiality clause are used for a range of cases including conduct, capability and redundancy. As we too are bound by confidentiality, we are unable to provide specifics in relation to her case.\" 'Followed to new job' Another academic, Amy, not her real name, says bullying sparked her depression. \"It's crippling my career,\" she told the BBC. Amy says she has been bullied for six years across two universities by the same man. Her NDA, seen by the BBC, explicitly names the senior academic whom she calls a \"serial bully\". It means she is legally required not to reveal details of the allegations or she risks being sued. \"He told me I'd never have a successful career,\" she said. \"He has done nothing but undermine my confidence; it's a complete abuse of power.\" After she put in a complaint, Amy says she was advised to sign an NDA and leave. \"I ended up hundreds of miles away at a new university, only for him to follow me and continue his harassment. Because of the NDA I can't tell people what went on in the past. I can't tell them why he's doing this. \"Universities would rather pay off people to leave, than push out the person doing the bullying.\" A source close to the settlement process, who has overseen a number of maternity and disability discrimination cases, said their university had a fund to get rid of staff with \"significant health problems\". Claims of the misuse of NDAs by universities follow high-profile cases in the film and business worlds. The astrophysicist Emma Chapman, an award-winning astrophysicist, says she was sexually harassed by a man at University College London and received a £70,000 payout after a two-year legal challenge. She refused to sign an NDA in favour of a confidentiality waiver, believed to be the first of its kind, allowing her to defend herself. But Dr Chapman says the \"trauma of the original incident is still there\" with \"nightmares of [her] house being set on fire\". Shortly after her tribunal, she received several untraceable voicemails of a person laughing down the phone in the middle of the night. She reported it to the police, but there was no concrete evidence it was her harasser. Now a campaigner to end sexual misconduct in higher education with The 1752 Group, Dr Chapman wants \"to see this culture of silence banished and confidentiality waivers being given as standard, so that victims can protect their careers and universities are held to account\". UCL says it no longer uses NDAs for cases of bullying, harassment and sexual misconduct, but acknowledges that \"historically\" it has \"not always got the balance right\". \"We hope this sends a clear message that these behaviours will not be tolerated,\" it said. \"#MeToo has made clear that all institutions can, and must do better, in preventing and addressing these behaviours. UCL is no exception.\" A widespread problem? The BBC sent Freedom of Information requests to 136 UK universities, asking how much they had paid in settlements that included \"gagging clauses\". Analysis of figures from 96 universities responding in full, reveal about £87m spent on about 4,000 settlements in the past two years. Many universities said they were unable to disclose why the agreements were signed, so it is unclear how many relate to allegations of bullying, harassment or sexual misconduct. Some universities attributed the bulk of their multi-million NDA spending to voluntary redundancy packages, but lawyers question whether, if such cases were truly voluntary, gagging clauses would be needed. Georgina Calvert-Lee, a senior barrister at McAllister Olivarius, has told MPs that NDAs are \"overused to promote systemic discrimination and harassment\" at universities. \"The danger is that you may have one complaint put in, it's settled with an NDA, but then the university takes no action to prevent the misconduct happening again, and this exposes others to further misconduct by the same perpetrator,\" she said. Ms Calvert-Lee said that universities have to provide independent legal advice to affected staff, but that this is usually only \"enough time to talk through the agreement and not about the circumstances that have led to it\". Universities UK, which represents 136 institutions, said it was important to note that signing an NDA \"does not prevent staff or students from reporting criminal acts to the police or regulatory bodies, or from making a disclosure under The Public Interest Disclosure Act 1998\".",

            "input": "Kay Smith, 54, has a lethal mix of untreatable conditions which means she can expect to die from sepsis. She said she does not want her family to watch her suffering as she dies. She is supporting a campaign being launched on Tuesday which is calling for legislation to allow patients to make an informed decision over when they die. The pressure group behind the campaign, Dignity in Dying, defines assisted dying as allowing a terminally ill person to have a choice over the manner and timing of their imminent death. In contrast to euthanasia and assisted suicide, assisted dying would only apply to terminally ill people. Similar attempts to change the law have previously failed to get through the Scottish Parliament - and opponents have argued that the risks are too high. Dignity in Dying said patients should be allowed a prescription which could end their life, and be allowed assistance to take it if necessary, without the risk of any prosecution. It said a poll it commissioned suggested almost 90% of Scots believed dying people should not be forced to suffer at the end of their lives. Kay's story Ms Smith, a former palliative care nurse who is now a palliative patient herself, has Lupus - Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) - as well as a condition that makes her severely allergic to pain medication and antibiotics. She knows that she is likely to contract an infection and die of sepsis that could not be treated because of her fatal reaction to medication. At the campaign launch on Tuesday, she will urge Holyrood to introduce safe and compassionate laws to allow terminally ill, mentally competent adults the choice of an assisted death. Speaking to BBC Scotland ahead of the launch, she said she respects that assisted dying was \"not everybody's choice\", and that \"some people will allow nature to take its course\". Ms Smith, of Kilwinning, Ayrshire, said: \"I could have the choice to have an assisted death and be surrounded by love and go before it got too bad. Days of pain \"Instead of my body rotting away from my extremities up, and my children and husband having to watch that... sepsis is not a nice death.\" Without a change in the law, she says she could face up to 10 \"extremely awful\" days at the end of her life, during which she would endure great pain. She wants to avoid these last days of pain by choosing to end her life just before this. Because of her health conditions, doctors may be able to sedate her but would not be able to offer painkillers. She fears the experience of watching their mother die in such circumstances would traumatise her children. \"I don't want to leave that legacy. The last thing I want to do is leave them with a permanent horrible memory of my death\", she said. It is estimated one person every eight days travels from the UK to the Swiss clinic Dignitas to end their life. But many people seeking an assisted death cannot afford the £10,000-trip, and some are too ill to make the journey. Ally Thomson, Scottish director of Dignity in Death, said clinics abroad were not the answer: \"Dignitas absolutely outsources this problem, really - the current law is broken when people need to go to Switzerland to have a safe and dignified death. \"Most families want their loved ones to stay around for as long as possible - it's the person themselves who doesn't wish to have a bad death and doesn't want to leave things until the last minute and suffer that pain that can happen at the end of life.\" Attempts to change the law on this issue were made by the late MSP Margo McDonald. The idea was put before Holyrood twice, but her bills failed to receive parliamentary backing. One concern was that vulnerable people could be pressured by relatives, or even clinicians, to take an irrevocable decision. Ms Thomson said: \"We know from international examples... that that simply isn't the case. \"Once our decision-makers look at the evidence, we think they'll be very satisfied on that point.\" However, Gordon Macdonald, the chief executive of the Care Not Killing umbrella group which is opposed to assisted suicide, said the last vote on the issue had seen a bill from Green MSP Patrick Harvie defeated by 82 votes to 36. \"Most members realised then that the risks of legalising assisted suicide were too high and would put vulnerable people at risk of harm,\" he said. He more money should instead be made available for palliative care.",

Molly Ringwald, Emilio Estevez and Judd Nelson starred in the 1985 original, which told of five high school students spending a Saturday in detention. Hughes, who died in 2009 aged 59, was represented by his son James. Reitman, himself the son of Ghostbusters director Ivan, introduced him from the stage as \"a fellow member of the nepotism club.\" Highlights of the evening included Eisenberg recreating Nelson's famous fist salute and Hendricks emulating the scene where Ringwald applies lipstick without using her hands. Boogie Nights, The Princess Bride and American Beauty are among the films to receive the live read treatment at previous festivals. Hughes' film continues to be held in great regard 33 years on, as evidenced by a recent photo showing the cast of the new Wonder Woman film recreating its iconic poster. The live read event came towards the end of a busy weekend at the festival, which continues until Sunday. Highlights included the world premiere of Widows, Steve McQueen's update of the 1980s TV series about women turning to crime after their partners' deaths. Speaking on Sunday, screenwriter Gillian Flynn paid tribute to Lynda LaPlante, creator of the original drama, as a \"pioneering force of nature\". \"How often do you get to see not one but four amazing, conflicted and complicated female characters on screen?\" said the Gone Girl author. \"What was cool about putting them in a heist film was to get to see them work together and see their brains in action.\" More from the Toronto Film Festival Actress Julia Roberts was in town to launch both family addiction drama Ben is Back and her new Amazon TV series Homecoming. After Saturday's premiere of the former, Roberts praised its writer-director Peter Hedges for a \"clear, thoughtful\" script that had helped offset the bitter cold of the film's winter shoot. Saturday also saw actress Geena Davis, British director Amma Asante and others speak at a women's rally in support of gender parity in the film industry. Thelma and Louise star Davis called for gender-balanced representation on screen and made a plea for \"no more missed opportunities\" in TV and film casting. Asante, meanwhile, bemoaned the low percentage of female and specifically black female filmmakers. \"When I last looked, black women directors didn't even make up one percent of the industry we work in,\" said the director, whose new film Where Hands Touch premiered on Sunday. \"Both in Hollywood and the UK, the will to place women behind the camera… is being drawn from a well that is painfully dry.\" Robert Pattinson, Sienna Miller, Melissa McCarthy and Dev Patel were among the other celebrities touting their wares in Toronto this weekend. For all the stars in attendance, though, this year's event has not been without the occasional high-profile no-show. Drake had been expected at last week's screening of Monsters and Men, a film about a police shooting in Brooklyn and the bystander who films it.

The Department for Education said schools cannot levy compulsory charges. The Leicestershire secondary school - which has banned pupils having mobiles - said the payment was \"voluntary\". The school says mobile phones are banned because they are \"known to be a major tool for bullying\" and \"a distraction to learning\". One parent called the charge \"disgusting\", adding: \"I think it is important they do have their phones. \"They have to walk home, so why shouldn't she [her daughter] have her phone if it's kept in her bag during the school day?\" Another mother called the policy \"brilliant\" and said her son was at school to learn not to play on his mobile. \"Phones should stay at home. Parents should be penalised for allowing their child to take it to school,\" she added.

It was set up \"to explore the potential for hotel deals in Asia\", according to a Trump spokesman. Mr Trump has been critical of US firms doing business in China and sparked a trade war between the two countries. The NY Times revealed the account after obtaining Mr Trump's tax records, which included both personal and company financial details. The newspaper's previous reports show he paid $750 (£580) in US federal taxes in 2016 and 2017, when he became president. The Chinese bank account has paid out $188,561 in local taxes. Mr Trump has been critical of presidential candidate rival Joe Biden and his policies towards China in the lead-up to the US election, taking place on 3 November. The Trump administration has singled out Mr Biden's son Hunter and made unsubstantiated claims about his dealings with China. Joe Biden's income tax returns and public financial disclosures show no business dealings connected to China. 'Inactive' office Alan Garten, a lawyer for the Trump Organisation, described the NY Times story as \"pure speculation\" and said that it made \"incorrect assumptions\". He told the paper that Trump International Hotels Management had \"opened an account with a Chinese bank having offices in the United States in order to pay the local taxes\". \"No deals, transactions or other business activities ever materialised and, since 2015, the office has remained inactive,\" Mr Garten said. \"Though the bank account remains open, it has never been used for any other purpose,\" he told the NY Times. The US president has multiple business interests both in the US and overseas. These include golf courses in Scotland and Ireland and a chain of five-star luxury hotels. The NY Times reported that Mr Trump maintains foreign bank accounts in China, Britain and Ireland. 'End our reliance on China' In August, Mr Trump said he wanted to offer tax credits to entice US firms to move factories out of China. He also threatened to strip government contracts from firms that continue to outsource work to China. In a speech, Mr Trump vowed to create 10 million jobs in 10 months, saying \"we will end our reliance on China\". In stark contrast, the NY Times report details how Mr Trump has been looking to land business in China. His efforts accelerated in 2012 with the opening of a Shanghai office. The tax records it obtained show that he has invested at least $192,000 in five small companies created specifically to pursue projects in China over a number of years. Those companies claimed at least $97,400 in business expenses since 2010, including some minor payments for taxes and accounting fees as recently as 2018. But the US president's plans in China have been largely driven by Trump International Hotels Management, through direct ownership of THC China Development, according to the NY Times. China jokes about 'Comrade Trump' Analysis by Kerry Allen, BBC China media analyst Donald Trump's tax payments to China have delighted and bemused social media users there, who have been closely following reports scrutinising his tax affairs. Memes and comments referring to \"Comrade Trump\" are lighting up the popular Sina Weibo social network. Users are joking that he has been \"paying his [Communist] party membership\" and \"the motherland will never forget\" his contributions. But many are incredulous he apparently paid hundreds of thousands of dollars in tax to China, yet very little in the US. \"He has paid China more than 250 times the tax he has paid his own ugly country,\" says one user, noting the New York Times' recent report alleging Mr Trump paid just $750 (£580) in US taxes in 2016 and 2017. Others are incredulous that the US president embarked on a trade war while seemingly pursuing his own personal Chinese interests. No further details, however, have emerged in Chinese media reports on the bank account unearthed by the New York Times. What is the latest on the US election? With two weeks to go until the election, Mr Biden again remained off the trail on Tuesday as he prepared for the final presidential debate on Thursday. The Democrat is maintaining a steady lead in national opinion polls. Mr Trump, making his own pitch to the American people, again insisted the US was weathering the pandemic well - despite figures showing rising cases and hospitalisations in almost all states. First Lady Melania Trump pulled out of a planned campaign appearance - a rally in Erie, Pennsylvania, with the president - because of lingering symptoms of her Covid-19 infection. On Wednesday, former President Barack Obama will make his first campaign appearance for Mr Biden, holding a drive-in rally in Philadelphia, and President Trump will hold yet another rally himself, this time in Gastonia, North Carolina.",

Their two daughters and son are now travelling to India. Investigations are under way to discover what caused the train, which was carrying 37 Britons on the Kalka to Shimla mountain line, to derail. Some reports suggest the specially-chartered train was going too fast. Great Rail Journeys, the York-based tour company which organised the trip, earlier said the families of those killed had been informed. Representatives from the company are due to meet survivors. Mrs Nichols's niece Andrea Davison told the BBC she was grandmother to five children and great-grandmother to two children. She was also volunteer for the Samaritans. 'Deeply saddened' Three carriages of the four-carriage train came off the rails shortly after leaving Kalka railway station at 13:20 local time, a rail official told the BBC. Onboard were 36 passengers and a tour manager on day three of a 13-day trip. Confirming the deaths of two British nationals on Saturday, Foreign Office minister for Asia Hugo Swire said he was \"deeply saddened\". Local police said nine people were injured, including six Britons. Three people - two passengers and the tour guide - are still in hospital with what are believed to be non-life threatening injuries, Great Rail Journeys said. Emergency response Chief executive Peter Liney thanked the Foreign Office for its assistance, and said a group of passengers were now in a hotel in the nearby city of Chandigarh. An emergency response team from the company, including a counsellor, had landed in Delhi and was on its way to Chandigarh, expected to arrive about 17:30 local time, he said. \"A number of the passengers have chosen to move on from the hotel in Chandigarh and have gone to Shimla, where Great Rail Journeys will ensure that an experienced tour manager is made available,\" he added. The new tour manager would arrive in Shimla on Monday, he said. Dinesh Kumar, divisional railway manager of Northern Railways, told the Times of India the cause of the incident was not immediately clear and an inquiry had been ordered. BBC India correspondent Sanjoy Majumder said consensus among survivors was that the train was going \"too fast\", especially on the sharp bends. Passenger David Carding from Norwich, said: \"Obviously we were totally shocked and couldn't understand at first what was going on. \"One lady was brought alongside our carriage, and one of the other passengers attended to her, and she had really severe head and facial injuries.\" The picturesque Kalka-Shimla mountain railway is a Unesco world heritage site and tourist attraction, often called the toy train line. It was opened in 1903 to connect Shimla, the summer capital of British India, with the northern plains. The railway climbs more than 4,000ft (1,200m) through the Himalayan foothills, and is famous for its many bridges, tunnels and panoramic views.",

In mitigation, Walters' lawyer told the court his client \"recognised the impact of his reckless act\", adding what he did had \"divided a community and that he is sorry he did something so stupid, he cannot forgive himself for that\". The court was told doctors are still concerned about Harry's seizures and his sight - with 50% in one eye, and 25% in the other. In a statement read to the court, his parents Ed Studley and Amy Allen said Harry \"had difficulty recognising them now\" and that \"he is not such a happy playmate with his brother\". \"Harry's prognosis is not very optimistic,\" they said.

            "input": "But ministers indicated this could be the final such extension, promising a \"new approach\" from June. The ban been extended several times during the pandemic, and the current one was due to expire at the end of March. Labour says hundreds of people have already been evicted due to loopholes in the protections. The government also extended the ban on commercial evictions until 30 June, which it says will help firms as they re-open after lockdown. Evictions were banned in England at the start of the first lockdown in March 2020 and the devolved governments in Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland have also taken action. The government said the move was part of an \"unprecedented package of support\" for businesses and renters during the pandemic to help \"reduce pressure on public services\". As England prepares to move out of lockdown, ministers say they will \"consider the best approach to move away from emergency protections from the beginning of June, taking into account public health advice and the wider roadmap\". This has led to warnings from campaigners that the support does not go far enough. Helplines flooded Latest research by Shelter shows that almost have a million private renters in England have fallen behind with their rent or been served with some type of eviction notice. The charity says it has been inundated with calls from people struggling to pay their bills. Chief executive, Polly Neate, said renters face an uncertain future. \"These extensions will come as a relief to the frightened renters who've been flooding our helpline with calls. While the threat level from the virus is still high, it's right that renters can stay safe in their homes,\" she said. \"But as we follow the roadmap out of lockdown, the destination for renters remains unknown. The pandemic has repeatedly exposed just how broken private renting is, leaving many people hanging onto their homes by a thread.\" She called on ministers to learn the lessons from the pandemic and create a system \"fit for purpose\". Homelessness prevention The Local Government Association welcomed the move saying it would avoid causing major disruption for households in \"very challenging times\" and would help reduce pressure on council homelessness services. But it said \"there remains a need for a renewed focus on investing in homelessness prevention services\". The LGA added that it was \"vital councils are given the ability to invest in building much-needed social housing, through the reform of Right to Buy\". Under the evictions ban, eviction notices can only be served in \"the most serious circumstances\" which the department for housing communities and local government said could include fraud or domestic abuse. The chief executive of the National Residential Landlords Association, Ben Beadle, said he welcomed the extension but he urged the government to do more to tackle the rent debt crisis. \"We welcome clarification that emergency measures in the rental market will be phased out in tandem with the overall roadmap out of lockdown restrictions\" he said. \"That said, the further extension to the repossessions ban will do nothing to help those landlords and tenants financially hit due to the pandemic. \"Given the cross-sector consensus for the need to address the rent debt crisis, it suggests the Government are unwilling to listen to the voices of those most affected\" he added. Housing Secretary Robert Jenrick said it was right that businesses and renters continue to be supported as England moves out of lockdown. \"We have taken unprecedented action to support both commercial and residential tenants throughout the pandemic - with a £280 billion economic package to keep businesses running and people in jobs and able to meet their outgoings, such as rent\" he added. But Labour says the current ban on evictions is not working. The party's shadow secretary of state for housing and homelessness, Thangam Debbonaire, said: \"Loopholes mean that hundreds have already been evicted during lockdown. This is just the tip of the iceberg, as tens of thousands have been made homeless during the pandemic. \"The government should strengthen the ban on evictions, and protect family finances by dealing with rent arrears and lost income, to keep their promise that nobody will lose their home because of Coronavirus.\"",

One large sign read, \"Make Racists Afraid Again\". The march turned violent, with people in black bloc smashing business windows and upending trash cans. A large number of helmeted police with nightsticks moved to drive them away, but many of the marchers ran, continuing to make their way through the streets. Eventually they were corralled together by police and there were reports of arrests. 2. Free weed Members of a Washington group called DCMJ began handing out free marijuana to promote legalisation and protest Trump's pick for attorney general, Senator Jeff Sessions. Sessions famously once said that \"good people don't smoke marijuana\", and at his confirmation hearing would not commit to not enforcing the federal ban on marijuana in states that have legalised it. Small amounts of marijuana are free to posses and distribute in Washingon, DC. DCMJ members passed out rolled joints from inside a fake prison cell, draped with a sign that read \"Jeff Sessions is Backwards on Marijuana\". 3. Blocking inauguration check points Several groups including Black Lives Matter, environmentalists, LGBT rights activists and many others staged sit-ins that blocked revellers from check points leading to the inauguration. Some demonstrators even chained themselves to gates. Trump supporters were still able to gain access to the Inauguration through other checkpoints. 4. Democrats sport matching Affordable Care Act buttons Nancy Pelosi and other House Democrats will be wearing matching blue buttons that say #ProtectOurCare, a reference to the Affordable Care Act, which is under threat of repeal under the new Administration. Pelosi tweeted that the buttons are \"symbol of our solidarity and support for the ACA during today's inauguration\". Several female legislators also plan to wear pink \"pussyhats\" to the inauguration. The knitted hats will be worn by hundreds of protesters at tomorrow's Women's March and are a reference to Trump's vulgar comments about assaulting women. 5. Staying home Many citizens chose to register their protests by sitting out the inauguration. Where crowds packed the parade route and National Mall to watch the swearing in of Barack Obama, there were noticeably empty patches during the Inauguration ceremony. Meanwhile, the DC's transportation authority tweeted out ridership statistics: 193,000 people took the metro today, compared with 513,000 when Obama was inaugurated in 2009 and 317,000 when Obama was inaugurated for his second term in 2013. It was even less than the 197,000 who rode to see George W Bush inaugurated in 2005. Meanwhile, journalist Brian Stelter asked his Twitter followers to send pictures of how they were watching the inauguration. Several responded with images of turned-off televisions.",

However, in Scotland rates of the cancer were significantly higher than the UK average. More than two 15-34 year old Scots are diagnosed with skin cancer each week. In the past 30 years, rates of the disease north of the border rose from 2.2 cases per 100,000 to 8.2, equating to a 266% increase. The charity said that in Scotland, about 1,090 people of all ages were diagnosed with malignant melanoma every year. The new data is published as Cancer Research UK launched its SunSmart campaign for 2011. Primary school assistant Kellie Boyle was diagnosed with the cancer in 2007. The 26-year-old from Arbroath had been irritated by a small red blemish on her neck. She said: \"I really had no worries about it at all. \"It was more like a little skin tag and the dermatologist didn't think it was anything to worry about. I had it removed and, as far as I was concerned that was the end of that.\" A sample of the blemish was sent to Ninewells Hospital in Dundee for testing where it was found to be cancerous. Ms Boyle said: \"I honestly couldn't believe it when I was told I had cancer. \"I was only 23 and suddenly thought I had been given a death sentence. I was in complete shock. I've never been particularly into sunbathing, and don't use sunbeds, so to be told I had malignant melanoma was completely shocking.\" Ms Boyle was admitted to Ninewells for surgery and had a radical neck dissection and lymph nodes removed and is now cancer free. Caroline Cerny, Cancer Research UK's SunSmart campaign manager, said: \"It's very worrying to see that the number of young adults being diagnosed with this potentially fatal disease has risen so dramatically, especially since cancer is typically a disease that affects older people. \"With summer approaching after such a harsh winter, everyone is looking forward to enjoying some sunshine. But it's more important than ever to be aware of the dangers of getting sunburnt.\" Ms Cerny said young women in particular were prone to the condition as they were more than twice as likely to be diagnosed with melanoma than young men. The dramatic rise in skin cancer is directly related to people's tanning behaviour, a trend which began in the 1970s with the dawn of cheap package holidays.",

            "input": "By Karen HogganBusiness reporter Not a recommendation you'd hear very often, frankly, about most companies' financial reporting. But rather than seeming designed to confuse and mislead, Next's report crisply spells out the challenges it's facing. And of course it's not just Next that's up against it, it's the High Street as a whole. A stark reminder of the difficulties came just yesterday when \"value\" shoe retailer Brantano went into administration, its pricier sister company Jones Bootmaker is up for sale. One of the administrators said the fall in the pound and a change in shopping habits were key factors. 'Asset or liability?' Next's results reflect these trends in spades. Its annual profits have fallen for the first time in eight years and it doesn't seem in the mood to pull any punches. The most obvious challenge is the continuing gravitation to online shopping. Next Directory sales have been rising every year for the past 10. This time they rose by 4% to £1.7bn but sales in the stores - pretty much flat for the past 10 years - fell by nearly 3% to £2.3bn. It's still a significant chunk of business, and as Next points out in its statement, it's still opening new shops. However, it concedes that with increasing amounts of business being transferred online \"it is legitimate to question the long term viability of retail stores and whether the possession of a retail portfolio is an asset or a liability\". Drinks not dresses Its conclusion is that the stores are indeed \"valuable\" assets which will remain profitable \"even in very difficult circumstances\". Nevertheless it has painstakingly worked through a scenario of what would happen if retail sales continued to decline at \"high rates\" for the next decade, and it says the stores could be \"managed down profitably\". Another issue which leaps out from the pages of Next's statement is the change in what the UK consumer is prepared to spend money on. A new dress or pair of shoes is no longer the go-to quick fix of choice, it seems. Instead Next quotes Barclaycard figures which show the growth in spending on pubs, restaurants and entertainment, compared with High Street clothing in the last three months of 2016. \"We believe that these numbers demonstrate the continuing trend towards spending on experiences away from 'things',\" says Next. \"Shifts in consumer spending patterns are not unusual and we expect that the trend will stabilise and reverse at some point,\" it continues. 'Continuing squeeze' As if the fickleness of shoppers were not enough, of course, consumers have finally woken up to the fact that higher inflation means their money spreads more thinly. The fall in sterling since the Brexit vote has pushed up the cost of imports for the likes of Next, although it says it doesn't expect price rises to be any worse in the second half of the year, and \"they may be a little better\". Nevertheless, it doesn't see inflationary pressures easing until the second half of next year. Meantime, it says, inflation is \"slowly rising to the level of general wages growth and look set to continue to do so for the remainder of the year, we therefore expect a continuing squeeze on real incomes in the year ahead\". Added to this Next has is own internal problems which it's dealing with, including taking its eye off the ball in terms of stocking its \"heartland\" products. That is \"easy to wear styles that can be delivered in large volumes and great prices across several colours\". Strength In short, Next reckons the year ahead looks \"tough\" with a \"combination of economic, cyclical and internal factors working against us\". But it's worth remembering this is not the first time Next - or retailers in general - have confronted such a mountain of adversity. Back at the start of the financial crisis in 2008, the number of retailers exiting the High Street seemed unstoppable. Woolworths went, and that was the last time Next saw profits drop. As chairman John Barton points out today \"by the following year our profits had started to grow again and our share price recovered strongly in the following years. \"I believe that by focusing on our core strengths as we did during 2008, we will see Next emerge from this period stronger than before\" he adds. Investors may well agree. Next's shares were up following the release of the results, and not just because they were a textbook example of how a company should get its message across.",

            "input": "By Huw ThomasBBC Wales arts and media correspondent Jayne Isaac spent 37 years reporting for the Glamorgan Gazette from its building in Bridgend, and is worried about the paper's survival. \"Is this the first step towards getting rid of the title altogether?\" she asks. As the paper's parent company, Trinity Mirror, announced this week that the Gazette's office will be one of three to shut, the paper's former reporter in the area is the latest to voice concern at the proposals. Five jobs will be lost with the closure of the Bridgend office, along with the Merthyr Tydfil and Pontypridd buildings that house staff working on the Merthyr Express, Pontypridd Observer, Rhondda Leader and the Cynon Valley Leader. The papers themselves are not closing - they will still be printed, and no editorial positions will go. The remaining staff will be transferred to Media Wales headquarters in Cardiff, or will work from home. Trinity Mirror also hopes local businesses will allow its journalists to hold regular \"surgeries\", a chance to interact with the public when potential stories can no longer come knocking. Declining media But Jayne Isaac thinks there's no replacement for a newspaper's own shop window, which served her well at the Gazette until she retired in 2006. \"I started there in 1969, it was a different office to the one they've got now. But people have always come in, there's always been a steady procession of people with grievances, and with stories. \"The Gazette is often their last port of call - they've tried the council, they've tried their MP, they've been to Citizens Advice, and then they come to us. \"I think having a presence on the high street is very important, it raises the profile of the paper as well. It makes it an important part of the community.\" Politicians, so often reliant on the local press to cover their constituency interests, were among those to protest at the planned office closures. Labour assembly member Huw Lewis, whose Merthyr Tydfil and Rhymney constituency houses one of the offices, tweeted his concern. \"Access to local news vital part of democratic process,\" he wrote. Plaid Cymru's Bethan Jenkins AM also shared her criticism of the decision online, tweeting: \"Another sad day for Welsh media.\" The online platform used for a discussion about the closures is symptomatic of why newspaper owners feel they don't need a physical front door to serve a modern readership. It's become increasingly easy for journalists to use the internet to research their stories, and for sources to approach them with information. And while newspaper circulation figures have fallen steadily over recent years, their online sites have seen a tremendous growth in readership. According to the latest available figures, WalesOnline - which hosts content printed in the Western Mail, the Glamorgan Gazette and other local papers owned by Media Wales - attracted an average of 1.4 million unique visitors every month in the first half of 2013, an increase of 17.2% on the same period in 2012. The growth in visitors to online news services has led publishers to invest more in their digital platforms, though it has been a struggle to attract the same advertising revenues that printed newspapers enjoyed in more prosperous times. And while the financial and editorial focus is now online, publishers are continually reviewing their print operations for areas where savings can be made. Online content Last week the Daily Post, which is also owned by Trinity Mirror and based in north Wales, announced it was ending its delivery of papers to south Wales. The decision made business sense - around 80 copies driven each night to Cardiff - while readers increasingly turned to the paper's online content. But the Welsh government said it was concerned about the effect this decision would have \"on an already declining media presence in Wales.\" Assembly members and MPs have debated the merits of support, and even subsidy, for local papers. But should they be sustaining a model with a falling demand, or supporting new ventures such as the local news sites that have sprung up across Wales? Or perhaps the choice isn't that simple when newspapers continue to survive despite regular prophecies of doom, and online news sites seem to thrive and fail in equal measure. There have been no easy solutions to the existential crisis that has come to face many newspapers over the past decade. But for some of those who read them, and who write for them, the physical presence of a newspaper is an important symbol for the community it serves. \"There have been countless good stories that have been brought in by someone just coming to the front counter, and asking the receptionist if they can speak to a reporter,\" Jayne Isaac recalls. \"It's as simple as that. \"People come in off the street because they've seen the office. And you will lose that when you lose the office.\"",

Minister Mike Penning said the files could not be released on the grounds of national security. Shadow home secretary Andy Burnham said it amounted to \"a cover up\". The government says the files do not relate to the safety of the men's convictions. 'Politically-motivated show trial' Prior to the Westminster debate, Mr Burnham indicated that a failure to release all documents about the Shrewsbury 24 case could jeopardise Labour support for government plans to extend spying powers. Addressing MPs during the debate, Mr Burnham said support \"was not conditional upon that\", adding: \"I'm just asking the government help build trust so that we can then help them get this legislation right\". The building workers who became known as the Shrewsbury 24 included Ricky Tomlinson, now a television actor who starred in The Royle Family and Brookside. They picketed building sites in Shrewsbury in the first national building workers' strike in 1972. They were later charged under the 1875 Conspiracy Act with offences including intimidation and damage to property. Six were sent to prison. Mr Tomlinson served 16 months in jail, but has always maintained his innocence. Mr Burnham presented a dossier of evidence that he claimed shows the 24 were victims of a \"politically orchestrated show-trial\", during the Westminster Hall debate. He said the new files showed the \"highest levels\" of political involvement in the decision to bring charges against the builders, the manipulation of witnesses, and attempts to influence the judge and trial jury. \"The continuing failure to disclose [the papers] will lead people to conclude that it has less to do with national security and more to do with the potential for political embarrassment,\" he added. Home Office minister Mike Penning said the department was looking over old documents to see whether they could be related to the case. But he told MPs the government was standing by its decision, taken partly by civil service boss Sir Jeremy Heywood, not to release the papers sought by campaigners because they are not relevant to the 24. \"There has been a decision, not my decision but a decision made by the cabinet secretary and Mr Letwin, to say that what they have seen. \"I would think the cabinet secretary is fairly independent on these things, that there is no relevance to the documents that they have withheld to the case of the Shrewsbury 24 and the Cabinet Office and the government are standing by their decision not to release those documents on the basis of national security.\" Mr Penning did offer to meet campaigners, although he indicated he did not expect to announce any change in government policy. He said the dossier presented by Mr Burnham should be passed to the Criminal Cases Review Commission (CCRC). The CCRC is looking at the case and has had access to all the documents they have requested, although this does not include the withheld papers. In October, Cabinet Minister Oliver Letwin decided not allow the release of the Shrewsbury 24 papers for reasons of national security, and said the decision would not be reviewed until 2021. In 2013, a 100,000-signature petition calling for the men's names to be cleared was presented to Downing Street. Related Internet Links The Shrewsbury 24 Campaign",

Six individuals were due to be issued notices on Monday, with up to 300 people at risk of eviction. Glasgow City Council leader Susan Aitken has sent a \"strongly-worded\" letter to Sajid Javid, signed by politicians from several parties. In it she \"calls on the Home Office to demand Serco ceases its lock change programme\". It condemns the Home Office contractor's action as \"wholly unacceptable\". And it warns Serco's actions will \"trigger a humanitarian crisis in Glasgow\" and create \"imminent risk of significant harm to a vulnerable group\". The letter was signed by councillors Susan Aitken, Mhairi Hunter, Jennifer Layden (SNP); Martha Wardrop (Green); Frank McAveety (Labour); and MPs Alison Thewliss, Patrick Grady, David Linden, Carol Monaghan, Chris Stephens and Stewart McDonald (SNP) and Paul Sweeney (Labour). 'Vulnerable tenants' Refugee groups and public sector organisations have condemned the moves since details broke over the weekend. Many of the failed asylum seekers are housed in properties leased from housing associations by Serco. The Scottish Federation of Housing Associations (SFHA) said it had concerns about the eviction policy. Sally Thomas, chief executive of SFHA, said: \"Serco has been criticised in the past for poor practice in how it treats vulnerable tenants, and appeared to improve its policy and practice on how it interacts with asylum seekers who have had asylum claims refused. \"We are concerned now that Serco is in danger of putting profit before people, failing to work within the spirit of the law, and letting down vulnerable households in the support and inadequate time they need to make alternative housing arrangements.\" Serco has said it is sympathetic to the plight of the residents but says it has been covering the cost of housing the tenants after their applications have been refused. The company said it had been working with the city council on the process for the last four months. Serco's Jenni Halliday said: \"Serco has been providing housing free of charge to over 300 former asylum seekers who no longer have the right to stay in the UK. \"We have been paying for the rent, the rates, the heating and lighting, and insurance on their properties, in many cases for many months all at our own expense. \"Each of these former asylum seekers have been refused the right to stay in the UK by the Government and the Home Office does not fund Serco to provide them with accommodation.\" The Home Office provides free, fully-furnished accommodation to asylum seekers while applications are being considered. A Home Office spokesman said: \"While an asylum claim is outstanding, we would not be seeking removal. \"Even if an asylum claim has failed, we will provide accommodation for those who would otherwise be destitute and who are temporarily unable to leave the UK because of a practical or legal obstacle. \"However, it is right that we prepare for someone's removal if they do not have a lawful basis to stay in the UK and they are not pursuing an appeal.\"",

PC Andrew Harper, 28, was dragged behind a Seat Toledo along country lanes for more than a mile. Mr Long, who denies murder but pleaded guilty to manslaughter, told the Old Bailey: \"I did not know he was there.\" The court previously heard PC Harper, from Wallingford, Oxfordshire, died in \"truly shocking circumstances\" when his ankles got caught by a strap used to tow the bike from a house in Stanford Dingley. It is alleged Mr Long, from Mortimer, Reading, drove up to 42mph, swerving from side to side, in an attempt to dislodge the Thames Valley Police officer. His passengers on the night, Albert Bowers, of Moat Close, Bramley, and Jessie Cole, of Paices Hill near Reading, both 18, have also denied murder. Cross examining Mr Long, Jonathan Laidlaw QC referred to footage taken from PC Harper's patrol car, which appeared to show Mr Cole turn towards the officer before jumping into the Seat. Mr Laidlaw said the officer, who weighed 90kg, got \"within touching distance of the car\" and all three defendants \"knew perfectly well\" that was the case. The defendant denied this. Mr Laidlaw also accused him of telling a \"really cynical lie\" about turning music up inside the car to \"drown out the voices\" of his passengers. Mr Long replied: \"I wanted to concentrate on driving and getting away.\" The lawyer added: \"You and the others have to tell this lie, you have to get something loud to cover up the fact that of course the dragging of PC Harper was causing a lot of noise behind the car and that was why I suggest you invented this lie. \"The truth is you heard all of this but you are not prepared to accept that to the jury, hence the lie about turning the music up. \"So you saw nothing, you heard nothing and you felt nothing?\" The defendant replied: \"That's correct.\" The prosecutor said: \"There were occasions when you deliberately turned the wheel of the vehicle from side to side in an effort to throw PC Harper because that was obstructing your getaway. \"I suppose your mindset was get away at all costs.\" But Mr Long replied: \"I did not know he was there.\" All three men have pleaded guilty to conspiracy to steal a quad bike.

The ranks of those incarcerated is impressive: And that is to name just a few. Investigations have even reached a former president, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, who is being tried. Perhaps no other country in the world has so many of its powerful elite being investigated and arrested. But it all comes with a cost. The investigations into corruption have taken a serious toll on the country, with political instability contributing to bring down former President Dilma Rousseff earlier this year and to cause one of the worst recessions in history. To most Brazilians, this was a price worth paying, as these investigations have brought a sense of increased transparency and justice. But now the entire legacy of the Petrobras probe - the country's main corruption investigation that has been running for more than two years - is under threat, as members of Congress are moving to approve an amnesty that could potentially let hundreds of corrupt officials and politicians off the hook. Read more: What has gone wrong in Brazil? For decades, construction firms who won inflated government contracts to build infrastructure have been at the heart of corruption allegations in Brazil. Latin America's biggest construction conglomerate Odebrecht is about to sign a plea deal, and a multi-billion-dollar fine, in which it will detail how it paid vast amounts of illegal, undeclared kickbacks to electoral campaigns in exchange for contracts with Petrobras. The Odebrecht deal has rocked Brasilia, the nation's capital. It has been rumoured that dozens, or maybe even hundreds, of powerful politicians could be prosecuted for this practice, known as \"Caixa 2\" (Box Two), based on the revelations made by former Odebrecht employees. \"Caixa 2\" is the way private businesses buy favours from public officials. They provide illegal, under-the-counter donations to help elect officials. Once in office, these officials return the favour by providing inflated contracts. Members of Congress have moved fast to protect themselves from any potential prosecutions by changing crucial articles in an anti-corruption reform bill that has been discussed for months. The bill outlines what a \"Caixa 2\" crime is and bans it. Up until now, current legislation had no specific articles about this practice - even though it was tackled with other existing laws. But MPs are proposing that all past practices of such crime receive an amnesty. They will vote on the matter next week. The way this bill is suddenly being rushed through Congress can barely hide the politicians' haste to approve it before the Odebrecht leniency deal is sealed. Read more on Caixa 2 from BBC Brasil The proposed amnesty has done something almost unprecedented in Brazil's Congress - it united virtually all political parties, from left to right, who had bitterly fought one another during this year's nasty impeachment trials of Ms Rousseff. Out of 26 parties in Congress, only two are opposing the amnesty to past cases of illegal funding in campaign finances. One of its supporters, Lower House speaker Rodrigo Maia, says the reforms are not an amnesty to \"Caixa 2\" practice, because \"such crime does not exist in current legislation\". Brazil's President Michel Temer has been avoiding conflict with Congress at all cost, as he needs MPs' and senators' support to approve his tough economic reforms. Mr Temer has said he will not interfere in these discussions - but he will have the final word if the amnesty is approved, as the bill would need to be sanctioned by him. However, critics are keen to point out that his unwillingness to speak on such matters signals a failure of his promise to guarantee that corruption will be tackled by prosecutors and judges with no outside interference. 'A horrible message' The backlash in the press and on social media has been enormous. Transparency International's representative in Brazil, Bruno Brandao, says these proposals are \"scandalous\" and undermine the country's recent progress against corruption. \"This sends a horrible message to the rest of the world that Brazil is not serious about corruption and that its elected representatives disrespect the wishes of its own people\", Mr Brandao told me. Brazilians have long raged about corruption - it was the main point made in million-strong street protests that helped bring down Ms Rousseff earlier this year. Many who attended those protests firmly believed that their cry against corruption would be heard by whoever led the country after the long political crisis that gripped the nation. But current events seem to be proving them wrong. Just last week Michel Temer's culture minister resigned, accusing the president himself of pressuring him to use his powers to favour another minister in a personal business deal. The president denied any wrongdoing, but acknowledged he brought up the subject. Despite a public outcry and a new inquiry, the minister kept his job and the president is now under pressure from the opposition. As efforts against corruption seem to be faltering, one wonders: Will Brazilians be back on the streets any time soon?",

That is in contrast to what happened in services, so it is suffering.\" Labour MSP Jackie Baillie said: \"This is obviously a welcome step that has Scottish Labour's support. \"The best way to ensure a sustainable future for our manufacturing industry is to create a skilled work force through investment in education, but Nicola Sturgeon is also cutting hundreds of millions of pounds from education budgets. \"Faced with a choice between asking people to pay a bit more so we can use our powers to invest or cutting into our nation's future, we choose to use our powers.

            "input": "By Toby MasonPolitical reporter, BBC Wales The plans are at the centre of a political controversy after the Welsh government claimed the Treasury withheld key financial information from it until after the Autumn Statement. This means the plans cannot have the usual scrutiny from the assembly. The opposition parties say ministers have been deliberately dragging their feet in order to provoke a confrontation with Westminster - and that councils in England already have their schemes ready to go. What is the root of this controversy? This goes back to the Treasury's decision that the benefit system, which gives lower income households additional help to pay their council tax bills, should be devolved to local councils rather than run at a UK level. The change has been in the pipeline for a couple of years and will come into force in April 2013. As local government is devolved to Wales, the assembly must pass regulations to enable each of the 22 councils to bring in schemes ahead of this date - and these regulations are at the root of the current controversy. Why have not the regulations been passed by the assembly yet? In devolving Council Tax Benefit (CTB) the Treasury is passing on the responsibility for the scheme - but not all the money to pay for it. Current estimates are that there will be a shortfall of around 10% - which the Welsh government says it cannot afford to make up out of its existing budgets. So that cut will be passed on to residents. However, it will not be clear until after the Autumn Statement exactly how large the cut will be. Ministers in Cardiff Bay say they have made repeated attempts to get the figures from the Treasury because, they say, without them, they cannot lay the regulations in front of the assembly - so Welsh councils are left in limbo. The Autumn Statement coincides with the last full meeting of the assembly before Christmas - which is why the government says it has to rush the regulations through as the last item before the festive break. Will they pass? The opposition parties, particularly Plaid Cymru and the Welsh Liberal Democrats, have been scathing about the last minute rush to pass the regulations. They say that ministers have had ample opportunity to pass the regulations without needing to wait for the Treasury to release the final funding figures. The accusation is that the Welsh government has been looking to pick a fight when it could have got the schemes underway in plenty of time. They point to many councils in England which have pushed ahead and got their schemes ready to go. Local Government Minister Carl Sargeant has strongly denied the claims but both parties may decide to vote against the plans on the grounds that they have not had sufficient scrutiny. The Conservatives are still considering whether to back the plans today. How much money are we talking about here? A substantial amount. During this financial year, the cost of CTB in Welsh councils was approximately £252m. A 10% reduction in this would mean a cut to around £226m - but the most recent figures from the Treasury indicate it could be even lower at around £215m. The Welsh government says it does not have the money to make up the shortfall and it will therefore have to be passed on to council tax payers. In Scotland, the government there has said it will fill the gap in funding from Westminster.",

            "input": "By Thora ArnorsdottirIcelandic journalist Every morning I set my alarm for 06:00, not to jump in the shower, but to refresh every website with volcano news from my home country, Iceland. Since 16 August, there have been thousands of earthquakes beneath Europe's largest glacier, Vatnajokull, which covers 3,400 sq miles (8,800 sq km) in south-east Iceland. Scientists believe that this seismic activity is caused by an enormous amount of magma moving around under the Earth's crust - it might even be moving from one volcanic system to another. A small eruption started last week, took a break and started again on Friday 29 August with increased force. The fissure is just north of the glacier, so it's only normal lava flow. It's different if there is an eruption underneath a glacier, a sub glacial eruption - then the magma explodes on contact with the ice and out comes ash. Hold on - jokull, ash - does that remind you of something? \"Volcano, I think I'll call you Kevin.\" That was comedian Jon Stewart's reaction after watching reporters from just about every major TV station in the world try in vain to pronounce the name of the Icelandic volcano that trashed the travel arrangements of millions of people in April 2010. The huge ash cloud from that eruption shut down much of Europe's airspace for six days, leading to the cancellation of 100,000 flights. Even US President Barack Obama couldn't fly. He missed the funeral of the late president of Poland, so did Angela Merkel, the German chancellor and Nicolas Sarkozy, the president of France. Eyjafjallajokull was fourth on Time Magazine's list of top 10 buzzwords for 2010, but the airlines weren't happy - the total cost of the shutdown was estimated to have been around $1.7bn (£1bn). Now, only four years later, it seems it's time to prepare for more disruption. Geological activity comes in waves, and Iceland seems to be in one such phase now. The island is located on the middle of the North-Atlantic ridge and for that reason it is being torn apart. Half of the country belongs to the North American tectonic plate and the other half to the Eurasian one. They move half an inch (1.2cm) or so per year in opposite directions, on average. It looks like 2014 is going to be a 20-inch (50cm) year. That doesn't mean Iceland is actually splitting in two, because enough magma always comes up to fill in the gap. It's not getting larger either, because the Atlantic Ocean nibbles from the shores at a similar pace. The theory is that just beneath Vatnajokull glacier, there is a hot spot, which has nothing to do with internet connections, but connection to the Earth's mantle. Supposedly, this is one of the few places on Earth where such a hot spot exists and that's one reason why a third of the lava that has run over the planet in the last 500 years has been in Iceland. Oh, and here's the icing on the cake. The name of the volcano system involved is Bardarbunga-Dyngjujokull. Beautiful, isn't it? Looks like the big sister of Eyjafjallajokull, alias Kevin. Here's an odd thing. Even though volcanic eruptions have had terrible consequences through the ages, Icelanders love their volcanoes. They name their daughters after them, like Hekla and Katla. They respect them. There's just something majestic about volcanoes, like having a lion in the house. We know they can be dangerous, but we've learned to live with them. Our country is young and dynamic, still being moulded and shaped by nature. Maps have to be changed every few years because of the continuous seismic movement, appearances of new craters and the ever-changing coastal line and river flow. Icelanders exchange stories about where they were when this or that eruption happened, we all tune in to the National Broadcast Service Radio when we feel a robust earthquake, to follow the story. How big was it? Was it just an earthquake or a warning that Mount Hekla is about to erupt? Is it maybe Mount Katla's turn now? The highlands around the Vatnajokull glacier have been evacuated and the few thousand inhabitants in the northern part, where the flood would probably come down, are alert and ready to leave their homes in an instant. It comes without saying that if glowing hot magma finds its way up to the surface under a glacier, an enormous amount of ice will melt - and that water has to go somewhere. So for the past couple of weeks I've been refreshing websites and messaging my friends and family: Has it started? Not yet? Now? What about now? Or now? Most foreigners thought it was because I was worried about them, but that's not the reason. The capital, Reykjavik, is hundreds of miles away and it's very unlikely that anyone there would be in harm's way. No, the reason is very selfish. I'm just anxious about not being there to see it with my own eyes. It's great having the opportunity to spend a semester at Yale as a World Fellow, but for a seasoned Icelandic TV reporter, it's almost unbearable to imagine that I'll miss the Bardarbunga-Dyngjujokull eruption. I follow my colleagues who are already camping out there, following the forces of nature at work. New land is being created and they are just so excited about it. At this moment I'm thrown back to my childhood of growing up with four older brothers and trying my best to keep up with them moving as fast as I can on my little feet, but not keeping up. While you may be hoping that this eruption will be over soon and no ash will be a threat to any jet engines, in order to save a lot of people a lot of trouble and a lot of airlines a lot of money, my only wish is this: Dear Bardarbunga volcano system, Can you please slow down and hold your breath until 15 December, so that I, your loyal admirer, can witness your spectacular show? Yours truly, Thora PS: Scientists now say the eruption might last for years. That's comforting. Kind of.

Archaeologists have been uncovering what's left of the buildings, giving the island the nickname \"Pompeii of the North\". An entire museum has been built around the remains of one of the homes.

            "input": "By Matt McGrathEnvironment correspondent, BBC News, The Netherlands They say a slowing of temperature rises in the past 15 years means the threat from climate change is exaggerated. But a leading member of the UN's panel on climate change said the views of sceptics were \"wishful thinking\". The pause in warming was a distraction, he said, from the growing scientific certainty about long-term impacts. Prof Jean Pascal van Ypersele spoke to BBC News ahead of the release of a six-yearly status report into global warming by the UN panel known as the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, or IPCC. Scientists and government representatives are currently meeting in Stockholm, Sweden, going through the dense, 31-page summary of the state of the physical science behind climate change. When it is released on Friday, the report is likely to state with even greater certainty than before that the present-day, rapid warming of the planet is man-made. But climate sceptics have focused their attention on the references to a pause or hiatus in the increase in global temperatures since 1998. The sceptics believe that this slowdown is the most solid evidence yet that mainstream computer simulations of the Earth's climate - climate models - are wrong. These computer simulations are used to study the dynamics of the Earth's climate and make projections about future temperature change. \"The sceptics now have a feeling of being on the winning side of the debate thanks to the pause,\" said Marcel Crok, a Dutch author who accepts the idea that human activities warm the planet, but is sceptical about the scale of the effect. \"You are now starting to see a normalisation of climate science. Suddenly mainstream researchers, who all agree that greenhouse gases play a huge role, start to disagree about the cause of the pause. \"For me this is a relief, it is finally opening up again and this is good.\" The view that the sceptics have positively impacted the IPCC is supported by Prof Arthur Petersen, who is a member of the Dutch government team currently examining the report. \"The sceptics are good for the IPCC and the whole process is really flourishing because of this interaction over the past decades,\" he told BBC News. \"Our best climate researchers are typically very close to really solid, sceptical scientists. In this sense scepticism is not necessarily a negative term.\" Others disagree. Bart Verheggen is an atmospheric scientist and blogger who supports the mainstream view of global warming. He said that sceptics have discouraged an open scientific debate. \"When scientists start to notice that their science is being distorted in public by these people who say they are the champions of the scientific method, that could make mainstream researchers more defensive. \"Scientists probably think twice now about writing things down. They probably think twice about how this could be twisted by contrarians.\" Sensitive debate In 2007, the IPCC defined the range for what's termed \"equilibrium climate sensitivity\". This term refers to the likely span of temperatures that would occur following a doubling of CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere. The panel's last report said temperatures were likely to rise within the range of 2C to 4.5C with a best estimate of 3C. The new report is believed to indicate a range of 1.5C to 4.5C with no best estimate indicated. Although that might not appear like much of a change, many sceptics believe it exposes a critical flaw. \"In the last year, we have seen several studies showing that climate sensitivity is actually much less than we thought for the last 30 years,\" said Marcel Crok. \"And these studies indicate that our real climate shows a sensitivity of between 1.5C and 2C, but the climate models on which these future doom scenarios are based warm up three degrees under a doubling of CO2.\" But other researchers who are familiar with the text believe that the sceptics are reading too much into a single figure. \"Some of what the sceptics are saying is either wishful thinking or totally dishonest,\" Prof van Ypersele, who is vice-chair of the IPCC, told BBC News. \"It is just a change in a lower border [of the range of temperature rise]. Even if this turns out to be the real sensitivity, instead of making the challenge extremely, extremely, extremely difficult to meet, it is only making it extremely, extremely difficult. \"Is that such a big change?\" Prof van Ypersele points out that many other aspects of the forthcoming report are likely to give greater certainty to the scale of impacts of a warming world. The predictions for sea level rise are likely to be considerably strengthened from 2007. There is also likely to be a clearer understanding of the state of sea ice.",

            "input": "Ba is slight for 18. His body shrinks into a neat package as he recalls his experiences. We're sitting in a brightly lit kitchen, a Jack Russell dog darting between us under the table. Ba's foster mum fusses in the background, making lunch and occasionally interjecting to clarify or add some detail to his account of his journey here from Vietnam. She wants to make sure his story is understood. Ba's lived here for nearly a year. He was placed with his foster parents after being found wandering, confused and scared, around a train station in the North of England, with just the clothes he was wearing. \"You feel safe now though, don't you?\" his foster mum asks, needing affirmation that the mental and physical scars Ba wears will heal with enough care. His story is one both extraordinary, and typical of the growing number of Vietnamese men and women recognised as being potential victims of trafficking in the UK. For several years, Vietnamese have been one of the top three nationalities featured in modern slavery cases referred to the National Crime Agency, with 702 cases in 2018. The Salvation Army, which supports all adult victims of modern slavery in the UK, says the number of Vietnamese nationals referred to them over the last five years has more than doubled. It's estimated 18,000 people make the journey from Vietnam to Europe each year. Ba believes it was a Chinese gang that trafficked him to the UK. He was kidnapped off the streets of Ho Chi Minh City, where he was a street child, an orphan who slept in the bend of a sewage pipe. He sold lottery tickets for money, although older men sometimes beat him and grabbed his takings. A 2017 Unicef report described Ho Chi Minh City as \"a source location, place of transition and destination of child trafficking\". And a 2018 report by anti-trafficking charities said numerous trafficked Vietnamese children had reported being abducted while living on the streets. That's what happened to Ba. \"An older man told me that if I came with him, he could help me earn a lot of money. But when I said no, he put a bag over my head. I couldn't believe what was happening,\" he says. He was then bundled into a small van, bound as well as blindfolded, his shouts stifled. Somewhere along the way, Ba's captors changed, and now he couldn't understand the language they spoke. When they finally came to a standstill and the bag was removed, Ba found himself in a large, empty, windowless warehouse in China, and was told to wait. \"I knew they were preparing to send me somewhere to work,\" he says. During the months that Ba was held there, a guard regularly beat him. \"I don't know why,\" Ba says with a shrug, \"there was no reason.\" When he was caught trying to escape, his punishment was far worse than kicks and punches - the guard poured scalding water over his chest and arms. \"It was agony. I was shouting at him to stop but he didn't listen,\" he says. Ba became unconscious with the pain. \"I just lay still for days. I couldn't walk. It was painful for a very long time.\" His foster mum adds that his scarred skin is tight all over his body, and a permanent reminder of what happened to him. Ba was then moved to the UK in a succession of trucks. He remembers the silence of the final container, where the human cargo hid among boxes. The quiet was broken only by the rustling of cardboard being ripped up, to be used as insulation from the gnawing cold. His long-sleeved top offered little protection. \"I was always scared on the journey, and very tired. I couldn't sleep because I was so worried. I didn't know what was happening to me. I wasn't told anything about where I was going.\" In fact, Ba was destined to work as a \"gardener\" in the UK's illegal cannabis trade - which is valued at around £2.6bn a year. In an abandoned two-storey house surrounded by woodland, he was locked-up and told to look after the plants that grew on every available surface. It was a mundane vigil of switching lights on and off over the plants at set times and watering them every few hours. But it was also punctuated by violence. When a plant failed, Ba was starved and kicked by a Chinese boss, who would aim for the burns on his chest. Ba never received any payment for his work, and wasn't told he was earning to pay off his fare to the UK. He was a slave. \"How did I keep going? I kept telling myself to keep eating, keep working and to wait for the opportunity to run away,\" he says. He finally escaped by smashing an upstairs window, and jumping to the ground. Then he ran for as long as he could. \"I was frightened, depressed and panicking. If I had been caught I would have been beaten even worse,\" Ba says. But he had to take that risk, because his life in the cannabis farm was \"unbearable\". With no idea what direction to head in, he followed the path of a train line. He only had a packet of biscuits to eat. \"I didn't even know I was in England.\" The train line, predictably, led him to a train station - and to what was for him a very happy meeting with British Transport Police. \"It had been a long time since anyone had been nice to me,\" he says. Ba has now settled into British life. He recently won a prize at college for his grades, and celebrated his first Christmas. He'd never unwrapped a present before. The translator who met Ba when he was taken into police custody says the transformation is remarkable. She recalls how skinny and scared he was. \"Like a rabbit in the headlights,\" adds his foster dad. Ba doesn't know whether he'll be allowed to stay in the UK. His last meeting at the Home Office to discuss his application for asylum didn't go well. The official tried to persuade him that if he returned to Vietnam he'd be helped by the authorities, which Ba finds impossible to believe. He is sure that if he is sent back, he will be trafficked again. That's a worry shared by Vietnamese trafficking expert Mimi Vu, who says that people who have been trafficked and returned are at serious risk of being re-trafficked, especially if their traffickers claim they owe them money. It's the quiet that Ba likes about the tiny hamlet he lives in, filled with old stone cottages and sprawling bungalows. Crowds make him anxious; he's scared he'll see the man who held him captive in the cannabis farm and kicked his injured chest. Chinh's scared too, but not of the people who smuggled him here to the UK. He's scared of the Vietnamese authorities. These fears are grounded in bitter experience. The 17-year-old was forced to leave Vietnam early in 2019 to escape a 10-year prison sentence for distributing anti-government literature door-to-door. \"I didn't think I would come out alive,\" he says. There are harsh punishments for people who criticise Vietnam's Communist government. In a report last week, Human Rights Watch said that at least 30 activists and dissidents were sentenced to prison in 2019 \"simply for exercising their fundamental rights to freedom of expression, association, and religion\". That even includes writing something deemed anti-government on Facebook; Amnesty International says at least 16 people were arrested, detained or convicted in 2019 for this offence. \"[The year] 2019 was a brutal year for basic freedoms in Vietnam,\" Human Rights Watch's Asia director, Brad Adams, commented. \"The Vietnamese government claims that its citizens enjoy freedom of expression, but this 'freedom' disappears when it is used to call for democracy or to criticise the ruling Communist Party.\" Chinh's arrest was due to his family's membership of Vietnam's Hoa Hao Buddhist community. The religion is recognised by the government but there are many groups that don't follow the state-sanctioned branch, and these are monitored and forcefully suppressed by the authorities. It's the same for other unapproved religious groups. Human Rights Watch says followers are detained, interrogated, tortured, forced to renounce their faith and imprisoned \"in the national interest\". Chinh lived in Hai Duong, a city in northern Vietnam. His dream, along with millions of other teenage boys and girls, was to be a footballer, and he avidly followed the Portuguese star, Cristiano Ronaldo. But he was also happy working on his mum's household goods stall, when he wasn't at school. He was very close to her, and to his grandfather, who lived with them. In 2018 Chinh attended a demonstration with his grandfather. He recalls his nerves in the morning and the flags of 100 people waving in the wind as they chanted, calling for freedom of religion and the release of political prisoners. After that, Chinh struggles. \"I find talking about that day very difficult,\" he says. Chinh's grandfather was arrested and sent to prison, where he died not long after. \"When we visited him, he looked very weak,\" Chinh says. According to Amnesty International, jailed activists are at risk of torture and other ill-treatment. Vietnamese prisons are reported to be unsanitary, with inmates denied adequate access to medical care, clean water, and fresh air. His grandfather's treatment spurred Chinh to continue protesting but in early 2019 he too was arrested, for distributing flyers. He was held in a small, narrow cell for 10 hours and questioned alone. His faith helped to get him through, he says. \"Of course, I was scared. The police would come to the cell and question me about my family and why I had anti-government literature. They shouted at me when I didn't answer. I was very scared they might hit me.\" In court, he wasn't allowed to defend himself, convicted, and told his sentence would start when he turned 18. His mum then raised the money to pay an agent to smuggle him to the UK. \"My mum's last words were, 'Go over there, find someone to help you, and never come back.'\" At the airport, she handed him over to two agents, who kept his passport. \"We got lots of flights and stayed at people's houses until we got to France,\" Chinh says. He hasn't a clue what countries he passed through, apart from Malaysia and Greece. In France, one night, he was put into a lorry container. There was only one other man inside, but they didn't speak until they arrived in the UK, terrified of alerting a border official to their presence. \"It was very cold and it was very difficult to breathe, because it was a confined, small space,\" Chinh says. \"I was lying on top of boxes piled up high on the lorry, almost to the top, so I only just had enough room to lie down. It was very dark. I just slept. I had nothing with me - no food, no water.\" When the lorry finally stopped, Chinh was taken to a Vietnamese family, who fed him and gave him a bed for the night. \"I can get you somewhere safe,\" his host said. In the morning, Chinh was left outside the local Home Office building with a piece of paper showing his name and date of birth. He remembers how strange he felt because he couldn't speak English. But he felt safe, he says, \"because I was in the UK\". The Home Office has recently granted him refugee status, which entitles him to remain in the UK for five years. Then a decision will be taken on whether he can remain indefinitely. Chinh was lucky. His mum was able to pay his passage in advance. When the bodies of 39 Vietnamese nationals were found in Essex last year, it was reported that these were economic migrants from some of the poorest regions in Vietnam, who had taken out loans of up to £30,000 in order to get here. Family houses had been used as security and they would have been obliged to pay off their passage once here, by working illegally in cannabis farms, nail bars and restaurants. We may never know what the 39 people found in Essex had been promised, but it's likely that some of them would have ended up in slave-like conditions. Jakub Sobik from Anti Slavery International says that Vietnamese people who have taken out loans to pay for their journey here are more vulnerable to being exploited. \"They start their journey believing they have paid to be smuggled in the search for a better life, but end up being victims of trafficking. \"The extent that they have to hide from the authorities makes it easy for traffickers. It is an offence to be here and they can't risk being deported to Vietnam with huge amounts of money owed over their heads.\" Some of the data in this article is drawn from BBC Briefing, a mini-series of downloadable in-depth guides to the big issues in the news, with input from academics, researchers and journalists. It is the BBC's response to audiences demanding better explanation of the facts behind the headlines. While males are typically siphoned off into cannabis factories, Vietnamese women are at risk of sexual exploitation. I have read an account given by a boy of 15, who said that while working in a cannabis factory he could hear the screams of women downstairs. He believed they were being sexually abused. A young single mum, Amy, was raped on many occasions during her journey to the UK, and again after her arrival, until a health worker identified her as a potential victim of trafficking. She had been excited to leave the family farm with her sister back in 2013, she told the charity that eventually started looking after her in the UK. Two men had convinced her family to send the girls abroad to earn money. There was no upfront fee, so they would need to work to pay the fare. Amy left her young son with an uncle. She was trafficked first to a clothes factory in Russia, where she worked for 10 to 12 hours a day without pay. She slept in a small room with about 10 other people, where she was raped repeatedly by the male workers. After two years, she and eight others were taken overland to the UK, and told that if they worked hard they would be paid. Instead, after waking up alone in the lorry that brought them across the Channel (the traffickers had left her behind for reasons that are unclear) she was sucked into a fresh world of exploitation. She ended up being forced into prostitution in the home of a Vietnamese couple, which doubled as a cannabis farm. It was only after becoming pregnant, and getting arrested in a raid on the house, that a midwife noticed that something was wrong and referred Amy to the National Crime Agency as an apparent victim of modern slavery. Then the Salvation Army found her a place in a refuge. Now she's a mum again, focused on doing the best for her baby. Chinh is living with a foster family. He is working hard on his English - and even the local Northern slang - and he remains a practising Buddhist. His 18th birthday, the day he would have been jailed, is fast approaching. Ba still suffers nightmares and flashbacks to his time in the hands of traffickers. He is waiting nervously for a decision on whether he will be granted asylum. But he recently started counselling, and day by day, under the loving care of his foster mum and dad, he is beginning to feel safer. The names Ba, Chinh and Amy are aliases Illustrations by Emma Russell You may also be interested in: In June 2018, 33 pregnant women were arrested and confined to a villa in the Cambodian capital, Phnom Penh.

But the Attorney General, Dominic Grieve, has now applied to the Court of Appeal to establish whether the sentence in October was too lenient.

Miss O'Callaghan was abducted by Halliwell after a night out in Swindon and taken to Savernake Forest where he murdered her. Her body was found several days later close to the Uffington White Horse in Oxfordshire. Halliwell also led police to the body of Becky Godden shortly after he confessed to killing Miss O'Callaghan.

It led to Halliwell only facing charges over the murder of Miss O'Callaghan and not Miss Godden, also known as Becky Godden-Edwards, who had been missing for eight years.

The pilot has begun in pharmacies in Betsi Cadwaladr health board. First Minister Mark Drakeford said community pharmacists can help with vaccinations \"in more than one way\". It follows a letter from Community Pharmacy Wales to Wales' health minister which said there was an \"urgent need\" to use pharmacies in Wales to help roll out coronavirus vaccines. UK Government figures show 126,375 people in Wales, 4% of the population, have received their first coronavirus jab so far. That compares with 4.1% (224,840) in Scotland, 4.9% in England (2,769,164) and 6% (114,567) in Northern Ireland. Hundreds more pharmacies in Wales will offer the jab in the next two weeks. Rosie Bennett, one of the patients to receive a vaccination at Fferyllwyr H L Taylor Pharmacy in Llanbedrog, said getting her vaccine was a \"small step to a better future\". The 82-year-old said: \"I don't have a car, so it was a huge relief to know that I wouldn't have to travel a long distance to have the vaccine. \"Here in the village, we know the staff at the chemists. They've been doing a great job during the pandemic and it's reassuring to have the vaccine from someone you know.\" Steffan John, the pharmacist who administered the vaccine to Rosie, said the staff are \"really pleased to do their bit for the community\". Pharmacist Llyr Hughes, who runs four pharmacies, including Fferyllwyr H L Taylor Pharmacy, said \"vaccinating at scale\" was the \"only way out of the pandemic\". Speaking on BBC Radio Wales Breakfast, Mr Hughes said he expected the rollout to happen \"very quickly across all community pharmacies in Wales\". \"I don't forsee any big problems,\" he said. \"Community pharmacists have a wealth of experience in delivering flu vaccinations. \"We will tailor our work model to accommodate for this, as we did for the flu vaccine.\" 'Easier access' Mr Hughes said his pharmacy will have vaccinated in the region of more than 100 people by Saturday afternoon. He added: \"If we can deliver locally we can provide easier access to older patients.\" He explained local patients would be contacted about an appointment for the vaccine at the pharmacy. Mr John said that the vaccine comes in vials of ten doses which means it's \"important to vaccinate that many people at a time and not to waste any\". 'Early stages' However, Mr Drakeford told Friday's Welsh Government press briefing that not all pharmacy premises would be suitable to deliver the Covid vaccines. He said some community pharmacists could be asked to administer vaccinations at mass vaccination centres instead, in cases where spaces for vaccinations are small at pharmacies with high volumes of people. Wales' Health Minister Vaughan Gething said the rollout was still in the \"early stages\" of the \"largest vaccination programme Wales has ever seen\". \"People can be expected to be asked to attend either a mass or community centre, hospital, GP practice, pharmacy or mobile unit,\" he added. Mr Gething said a mix of vaccination sites and centres were chosen so \"everyone across the country has equal access to a vaccination\". He added that people will be notified for an appointment, and before that they should not call GPs or health services to request a vaccine and \"add undue pressure\" to their workloads. Plaid Cymru's health spokesman Rhun ap Iorwerth said Wales' vaccination programme was \"improving far, far too slowly\". \"As important as it is that we have one pharmacy doing it, what's happening in all the others?\" Paul Davies, leader of the Conservatives in the Senedd, said it was clear Wales was \"lagging behind\" the rest of the UK on delivering the vaccinations. \"It's certainly not happening quickly enough, we need to see the Welsh Government stepping up to the plate,\" he said. The Welsh Government has said more pharmacists and other primary care services, such as dentists and opticians - are being invited to help with the rollout, subject to vaccine supply.",

            "input": "The meetings are significant markers on the country's carefully choreographed political stage. This year, the parliament is expected to rubberstamp major constitutional changes that will elevate the power of President Xi Jinping. It will also confirm dropping China's two-term presidential limit. That would mean Xi Jinping could stay in power for life, leading China according to his new ideological guidelines, known as \"Xi Jinping Thought\". Here's what will go on during the sessions. Who is meeting? The National People's Congress (NPC). That's the legislature or parliament. Think the House of Commons in the UK, or the US House of Representatives. According to the constitution, the NPC is the most powerful state organ - but it's often labelled a \"rubber-stamp\" body by international observers, meaning it will always approve what it's told to approve. This year, the NPC has 2,980 deputies representing China's provinces, autonomous regions, centrally-administered municipalities, the special administrative regions of Hong Kong and Macau, and the armed forces. Among those are 742 women - that's around 25% this time, more than the last NPC - and also 438 ethnic minority deputies. The Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC). That's the most powerful political advisory body. Think House of Lords or the US Senate. The CPPCC is strictly advisory in nature - it does not have any legislative power. The current CPPCC has 2,158 members, including people from entertainment, sports, science, business and non-Communist parties. Referred to as the \"two sessions\" (liang hui), these meetings traditionally last between one and two weeks. This year the CPPCC started on 3 March and the NPC will start on 5 March. What can we expect? The \"two sessions\" have special significance this year as they come after the once-in-five-years Communist Party Congress of October 2017. That congress saw an unprecedented cementing of power for President Xi, elevating him on the same level as the country's inaugural communist leader Mao Zedong. The NPC is expected to: The \"two sessions\" will also look at any plans for economic reform, as well as Mr Xi's other two focus areas: corruption and protecting the environment. Meanwhile, the CPPCC will review past policies of central and local governments and formulate plans for the future. Economic issues will be a key focus as 2018 marks the 40th anniversary of China's reform and opening up policy. Will there be any opposition? Don't expect too many surprises at what some describe as Asia's largest political pantomime. Whatever will be decided or debated usually is pre-determined by the Communist Party. There have been instances, though, where the NPC did raise objections. In 2006 for instance, the government deferred a property tax law after it sparked a debate in the NPC. Commonly referred to as a one party state, China does in fact have several other official parties alongside the Communists. Largely dismissed inside and outside the country as mere democratic window dressing, these parties unanimously support the Communists within the NPC. How is it viewed in China? Chinese state media are giving extensive coverage to the two sessions but you won't find any criticism undermining the two assemblies as mere rubber stamp groups. China Radio International praises the fact the \"long-awaited revamping of state institutions\" will be high on the NPC's agenda. Beijing-based website China Finance Online lists sustainable industrial growth, building on benefits from the Belt and Road initiative and poverty alleviation as the key themes for the meetings. Meanwhile, dissident media such as US-based NTDTV.com report that petitioners from several provinces are heading to Beijing to highlight their grievances. In a tradition dating back to imperial times, each year, petitioners stream into the capital to seek justice by appealing to the country's rulers. During the two sessions, they are usually kept out of the public eye so as to not disrupt the political theatre. But there has been some criticism also within China of the proposal to end the presidency term limit. Li Datong has urged lawmakers to vote against this proposal. \"It [two-term limit on the presidency introduced in the 1982 constitution] was the highest and most effective legal restriction meant to prevent autocracy or putting individuals above the party and the state\", the former editor of state-run China Youth Daily said in an open letter to the legislators. He told the BBC such a move would be \"considered a farce in Chinese history in the future\". Reporting by Tilak Jha, BBC Monitoring.

He had since apologised and on Monday shared what appeared to be a rescission letter from the university. Seventeen students and faculty were killed in Parkland, Florida in 2018. \"Harvard deciding that someone can't grow, especially after a life-altering event like the shooting, is deeply concerning,\" he posted in a thread to his 300,000 Twitter followers. \"If any institution should understand growth, it's Harvard, which is looked to as the pinnacle of higher education despite its chequered past,\" he wrote, adding: \"Throughout its history, Harvard's faculty has included slave owners, segregationists, bigots and anti-Semites.\" \"If Harvard is suggesting that growth isn't possible and that our past defines our future, then Harvard is an inherently racist institution. But I don't believe that.\" A spokeswoman for Harvard told CNN on Monday that the university does \"not comment publicly on the admissions status of individual applicants\". Since the shooting, Mr Kashuv has stood apart from his peers at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School by calling for private gun rights to be protected under the US constitution's second amendment. Many of the Parkland shooting survivors have focused their efforts on gun control in the wake of the shooting. Classmates David Hogg and Jaclyn Corin - who called for more restrictions on gun sales after surviving the massacre - are due to begin their study at Harvard, one of the most prestigious schools in the US, in 2020. What happened? In May the high school senior apologised for the comments, which were made in text and Skype messages as well as in a shared Google document for a class study guide two years ago. Screenshots of those remarks were shared online by at least one of Mr Kashuv's classmates, Ariana Ali, who told the New Yorker: \"The more prominent he got, the more I was bothered by his hypocrisy.\" On Monday Mr Kashuv took to Twitter to say \"we were 16-year-olds making idiotic comments, using callous and inflammatory language in an effort to be as extreme and shocking as possible\", and added that he \"immediately apologised\" for the two-year old exchanges. \"I'm embarrassed by it, but I want to be clear that the comments I made are not indicative of who I am or who I've become in the years since.\" The alleged comments included threats against Jews and racial slurs in reference to African Americans. In one message he apparently wrote he would \"make a CSOG map of Douglas [high school] and practise\". Some students claimed the reference was to the shooting-themed video game \"Counter-Strike: Global Offensive\". Mr Kashuv said he turned down scholarships from other universities and the deadline to accept other offers has passed. Harvard University - like many other US colleges - reserves the right to rescind admission offers under certain instances, including if students' grades drop at the end of high school or if they engage in questionable behaviour.

Almost two-thirds of pupils are from minority ethnic backgrounds. It is a successful school, rated good by Ofsted, which aims high academically, promotes sport and keeps class sizes small But from September next year, the school is due to lose almost the maximum amount possible under the Fairer Funding Formula. The maximum cut under fairer funding is capped at 3% and, according to head teacher Karen Rixon, Rendell is due to lose 2.8% - the joint highest in the county, despite by no means being the best funded. This amounts to about £34,000, equivalent to at least one teacher's salary, Mrs Rixon told BBC News. She describes the cut as \"pretty shocking\", particularly as, she says, schools in other more affluent areas of Leicestershire, will see their budgets rise by up to 8%. \"The biggest thing for me is the reality that schools that are funded by huge amounts more than us are not going to be losing out,\" said Mrs Rixon. \"There is not going to be a redress of balance.\" The school is already under major pressure, as funding has failed to keep pace with increased staff costs, such as increased pension contributions and pay rises, said Mrs Rixon. She said the school was looking at ways to cope with the loss in funding. \"If we lose a teacher it will push class sizes over 30,\" she explained. \"Whereas some schools can raise significant amounts of money to enrich facilities in schools, Rendell is very much reliant on government funding for everything it provides, including enrichment activities. \"It is these things we will have to cut back on first to protect the jobs of teachers and support-staff,\" she added.

One Caerphilly firm spoke of losing £30,000 after Swansea-based Dawnus collapsed in March. The creditors' list has yet to be revealed by the administrators. The Welsh Government said it would consider any proposals to improve its current policy. Since January last year, ministers have made it mandatory for all construction projects it funds which are worth over £2m to use Project Bank Accounts (PBAs). These ensure that if large companies like Dawnus go down they do not take the supply chain with them. Instead of money being paid to the main contractor, which is then responsible for paying everyone else, the money is paid into the PBA and each company involved in the project is paid from that. But the FMB said it wanted the Welsh Government to go further and ensure the scheme is also used for projects under £2m and by other public sector bodies, such as councils and the NHS. A Welsh Government spokesperson said: \"While we cannot mandate the use of Project Bank Accounts on all public sector construction contracts, we continue to promote the use of PBAs across the public sector as good practice in ensuring fair and prompt payment. \"We are monitoring the effectiveness of the policy and will consider any proposals to improve upon it, including revising the current £2m threshold.\" Concerns have increased since the collapse of Dawnus, as well as construction giant Carillion. Protectorcomms, based in Caerphilly, has been going for 13 years and employs 17 people providing fire alarms and security installations for new developments, including schools and hospitals. Technical director Lloyd Harding said one of Dawnus's subsidiaries, Legsun - which is one of the companies in administration - were \"notoriously bad payers, which is not that rare at this end of the industry\". It got so bad the company stopped working for them at the start of this year but then restarted after a promise it would be paid. It is owed £30,000 and is unlikely to be paid. Protectorcomms's work included a new school being built in Welshpool, Powys. Mr Harding said there was \"a complete lack of transparency,\" and it was a \"fight\" to get money out of bigger firms. \"You never know when the money is going to come through. It's 60 days, end of the month at best. Potentially it can be 90 days and 120 days,\" he added. Bethan Jones, finance manager, said there were different excuses given for Legsun and Dawnus not paying. \"But when they get offered very big contracts and then they're offering work to you - we had a working relationship with them, we knew they were bad payers, you like to do the work, even if you know you're going to get paid a bit later,\" she added. \"But unfortunately, they've gone into administration and we didn't get paid.\" What help is there for companies caught up? The FMB represents small and medium-sized construction firms. Ifan Glyn, its Welsh director, said: \"Poor payment practices amongst many large construction firms are rife - project bank accounts have the potential to curb some of that behaviour but currently it's only Welsh Government projects over the value of £2m when they are mandated. \"We would like to see that threshold potentially lowered and look at extending that to other public sector contracts and long term rolling it out across the private sector too.\" The FMB said it was about getting smaller suppliers paid on time for work already completed. \"Lessons will hopefully be learnt from the collapse of Dawnus but we'll be seeing over the next year or so how effective PBAs are,\" said Mr Glyn. \"My hunch is it's a good first step but much more needs to be done.\"",

            "input": "By Vibeke VenemaBBC World Service Stephane Ebongue stands nervously at the edge of a forest trail, dressed in a suit and carrying a briefcase. His dark sunglasses are a necessity because he has albinism, but they also hide his nervousness. \"My heart is beating fast. I have never come to a place like this before,\" he says. This is the day he hopes to find answers he has spent years searching for. The trail leads to a witchdoctor who trades in albino potions. \"I would like to find out why albinos keep getting killed. Maybe the secret lies at the end of this path,\" he says. Ebongue is a journalist, a rational man who deals in facts. He does not believe in magic, yet he is deeply unsettled about this meeting. Across Africa, in countries such as Tanzania, Malawi and Ebongue's own country, Cameroon, there is a belief that people with albinism bring luck or have magical powers. This has devastating consequences for those with the condition. \"It is believed that parts of an albino, such as their heart, hair or fingernails, are important to make magical potions - for instance to fertilise the soil, to become invincible, to win political elections or a football match,\" says Ebongue. \"This is why albinos are killed and mutilated for the parts of their body.\" According to a recent UN report, such body parts can fetch prices from $2,000 for a limb to $75,000 for a \"complete set\" - a whole body. Ebongue was 15 when his older brother, Maurice, who also had albinism, went missing 30 years ago. \"He went out one morning and did not come back,\" says Ebongue. Days later the family found the 18-year-old's body in some bushes. He had been mutilated. \"His stomach was opened - I don't know what was missing inside,\" says Ebongue. Ebongue's parents tried to give their two sons with albinism a normal childhood - they treated them the same way as their other children - so it wasn't until he first went to school that he realised he was different. His classmates would ask him, \"Why is it that you are white and we are black?\" \"They were coming to touch my skin thinking that I had put talcum powder on there,\" he says. At first he got into fights at school but his parents, both teachers, knew what to do. \"They understood the problem and pushed me to study harder. \"My revenge was that I was always the first in my class.\" The trouble was that like most people with albinism, Ebongue had very poor sight, which made it difficult for him to read small print or see the blackboard, even when he sat at the front of the class. \"During official exams there were many times where I had to hand in a blank sheet of paper,\" he says. \"Not because I wasn't up to the task, but because the script was written so small that I could not read it. I had to give back a blank sheet of paper and go out crying.\" He swore to himself that he would one day create a library where visually impaired people like himself would be able to read with ease. Ebongue went to study journalism and English literature at university, where he was the only student with albinism out of 10,000. His uniqueness made him a point of reference in the local community. \"People would say, 'Where the house of the albino is, meet me there,'\" he says. By 2007, at the age of 37, he was married and working as a journalist in Buea, in the shadow of Mount Cameroon, one of Africa's most active volcanoes. It was the volcano that caused a huge crisis in Ebongue's life. \"It is believed that when there is an eruption it means Epasamoto, the god of the mountain, is angry,\" says Ebongue. \"To calm him down they need the blood of an albino.\" When the volcano had erupted in 1999, lava flowed down the side of the mountain, stopping just short of Buea. There were no casualties, but the traditional doctors claimed that the town had been spared only because albinos had been sacrificed. In 2007 there were fears of a new eruption and people were doing \"everything possible\" to stop it. At times like this, when what Ebongue calls a \"general psychosis\" takes hold, people with albinism go into hiding. Fearing for his life, Ebongue decided to go abroad. His wife and three children, none of whom had the condition, were safe - they could follow at a later date, he thought. He found a captain willing to smuggle him on board a ship carrying timber to Italy, and spent 33 days hidden in the dark hold. \"I was asking myself many questions without answers, so it was mentally and psychologically very difficult,\" he says. \"I was suffering. I had left my wife and my children, I had left my job, I had left my country, I had left my friends.\" Soon after arriving in Genoa, Ebongue was granted refugee status on humanitarian grounds. Find out more Living in Italy was liberating. For once, his colour was an advantage - other Cameroonians would regularly be stopped by the police, whereas he was not. \"When I lived in Africa I had three enemies: the sun, the people's disgust and the fear,\" he says. \"Here, I don't have such problems. I feel freer here, I feel free to move, I'm not ashamed.\" In his new home, Ebongue found he was provided with specialist sun cream as well as a magnifier, to help him read. He had never seen anything like it before - and when he saw what it could do, he burst into tears. Before it would take him two months to read a novel. With the magnifier he read 10 in a month. \"I was trying to make up for lost time,\" he says. The experience made him even more determined to build a specialist library in Cameroon. Ebongue soon learned Italian and settled in Turin, where he taught the language to new arrivals, and made a new friend in local journalist Fabio Lepore. The two men bonded because Lepore, too, has a visual impairment. His is caused by macular degeneration - Stargardt disease - which means he has 2/20 vision in both eyes. \"I was lucky because I started to lose my sight at the age of 16, so I could learn how to do without,\" says Lepore. \"I can't drive a car - but I can paraglide.\" They began working on a documentary about Ebongue, called Jolibeau's Travels - Jolibeau is the nickname he is known by at home in Cameroon. And this is why, five years later, Ebongue was standing by the side of a road in Cameroon, about to meet a witchdoctor, and struggling to keep control of his emotions. \"I was there as a journalist,\" he says. \"I wanted to meet somebody who could explain to me the deep roots of those beliefs, and I thought a native doctor could do that.\" At the same time, he knew that many people with albinism - among them his own brother - had died at the hands of people like the man he was about to meet. After a 20-minute walk through the forest, the documentary footage shows Ebongue and Lepore arriving at a clearing in the forest, where some washing hangs on a line next to a rudimentary wooden hut. The witchdoctor comes out to meet them, wearing an orange tie-dye shirt and shorts. He shakes hands with them all, giving Ebongue a strange look. \"You can see how the sorcerer looked at him, like a treasure in front of him,\" says Lepore. \"He looked at him like a lion looks at a gazelle.\" The men follow the witchdoctor into the wooden hut where he receives clients. They walk past the remains of a ritual he's performed the night before - some sort of animal sacrifice. Ebongue begins by handing over a present of some whisky, and the agreed fee of 5,005 francs ($8.70, or £6). In return, the witchdoctor gives him some twigs to hold - he does not explain why. Formalities over, Ebongue asks his first question. \"How are albinos considered within the traditions of this country?\" But the witchdoctor isn't really listening. He's staring at the treasure sitting in front of him. \"You do not even know your value. How much you're worth,\" he says to Ebongue. \"Albinos are in great demand - albinos just like you. From your hair to your bones, you are so sought-after. \"So much so that if we hear that an albino has been buried somewhere we go and find them in order to recover some parts which are really important and help us.\" Holding his emotions in check, Ebongue continues asking questions. The witchdoctor says he receives up to four clients a week in busy periods, and that all kinds of people ask for \"albino potions\" - from farmers hoping for a good harvest to women trying to seduce a white man. \"Are you aware of the fact that the number of albinos is diminishing and that it's not good to kill human beings to make sacrifices?\" asks Ebongue. \"People go in search of money. They kill albinos not for the pleasure of killing them but to make money. That is why they get killed,\" says the witchdoctor. \"Are you not scared that one day the police will come and find you because you work with the bones of human beings?\" Ebongue asks. \"What do the police want? Money. If they come we will agree.\" After an hour or so of questioning and after sharing some palm wine, the visitors take their leave. \"The only thing I wanted to do was to get out of there,\" says Ebongue, whose survival instinct had eventually kicked in. But when he looks back at the footage now, he is angry. \"Each time I watch the interview I'm shocked and I ask myself why I didn't react,\" he says. If he could go back, he would do things differently. \"I'd ask him whether he's cheating people. I'd be more offensive, more aggressive.\" Instead of getting an real answer to the question why people like him are persecuted in Cameroon, all he found was a man out to make money. Ebongue now wants to stop talking about superstitions and start talking about the real problems of albinism: health and education. Deadly sun Without the protective pigment melanin in their skin, people with albinism are highly vulnerable to skin cancer. Just 2% of the 17,000 people with albinism in Tanzania (which has the highest rate of albinism in the world) live beyond the age of 40. Now a dermatology centre in the country has developed a sunscreen specifically designed for people with albinism, which could save many lives across the continent. Listen to the report on Health Check on the BBC World Service The biggest killer is the sun - the UN reports that in Africa most people with albinism die from skin cancer between the ages of 30 and 40. The problem is compounded by the fact that so many work outdoors in menial jobs, having dropped out of school because they can't see. Thanks to one Italian donor's generous donation of 11,000 euros (£8,650), Ebongue was finally able to set up the library he dreamed of as a child. At Le Pavillon Blanc Library in Cameroon's largest city, Douala, visually impaired people can read freely thanks to magnifiers and other vision aids. About 70 people have joined the library, most of whom have albinism. Users currently have to pay a small fee - but Ebongue hopes to get government support for his project soon. His aim is to help people with albinism make a success of their lives, to show that they are human beings like everyone else. He still teaches Italian and presents podcasts for a web-radio station called Cameroon Voice, but the majority of his time and energy is invested in the library. He travels back to Cameroon regularly to oversee the project and to visit his family, who were never allowed to join him in Italy. After six years of waiting, his marriage broke up. But Ebongue does not feel sorry for himself. \"At the end of the day, my story is a happy story. I went to school, I have a job, I got married, I have children,\" he says. \"There are people who cannot say the same.\" Listen to Stephane Ebongue speaking to Outlook on the BBC World Service.

            "input": "Research In Motion (RIM) has added the facility to its Blackberry Messenger (BBM) app, which already offered an alternative to text messages. BBM Voice will only work if both caller and recipient are using the program. It marks the firm's latest effort to keep users loyal to the platform ahead of the much-delayed release of the Blackberry 10 operating system. The Blackberry 10 system is due to launch on 30 January, with the first devices running it available the following month. Teen-friendly BBM has previously been able to send voice notes. And other Blackberry apps - such as TringMe and MobileVoip - already offer access to free calls. However, users will now be able to use BBM's popular text tool at the same time as they are having a free phone conversation. While the move helps bring RIM closer in line with its rivals, it still lacks the video chat functionality and 3G-support found in Apple's Facetime, Microsoft's Skype and Google+ Hangouts. Microsoft and Google's products also benefit from working on platforms apart from their own Windows Phone and Android-based systems. But one industry watcher said the move would still be appreciated. \"It drives value to the current generation of Blackberry devices and RIM may introduce video when it launches the next system,\" Graeme Neill, deputy editor of Mobile Today magazine. \"One of the key strengths of Blackberry has been its BBM ecosystem, which is still extremely popular with kids to message each other for free. \"It's probably something RIM should have done a while ago, but it is something users will still welcome.\" Big ambitions BBM Voice only currently works on Blackberry 6 and 7 devices, but RIM plans to extend this to Blackberry 5 handsets at a later point. For the time being most of the Canadian firm's efforts are focused on ensuring Blackberry 10's release date does not slip again. RIM's chief operating officer said on Tuesday that the company still aimed to be the number one mobile computing platform, despite gains made by its rivals. \"It's not going to be easy,\" Kristian Tear said. \"But everybody is super-focused and super-committed. We're going to show the world that we are turning this around.\" His comments came as research firm Gartner suggested that the company's share of global mobile phone sales had fallen to 2.1% in the July-to-September quarter. Samsung was in the lead with 22.9%, Nokia second with 19.2%, and Apple third with 5.5%.",

It has emerged police used a Taser stun gun on Moat. Officers had been negotiating with Moat, who was spotted near the centre of Rothbury after a week-long manhunt. Eyewitness Peter Abiston, whose house overlooks the scene of the incident, told the BBC: \"From what I can see he shot himself. He lay down and shot himself. \"I think there was two, but there was certainly one shot.\" Other local people overheard some of the negotiations that took place between Moat and the police before he apparently turned his gun on himself. A guest-house owner, who did not want to be named, told the BBC: \"He actually said, the one thing that sticks in my mind, 'I haven't got a dad'... and he also said that, 'nobody cares about me'.\" Police said Moat, a former nightclub bouncer and father-of-three, shot himself at about 0115 BST. After a gunshot was heard, shouts were heard from officers close to Moat. One was heard to yell several times, \"Put that gun down\". Paramedics were quickly on the scene and Moat was taken by ambulance to Newcastle General Hospital - accompanied by two police cars - but died shortly after arriving. 'Difficult time' Officers discovered Moat on the riverbank by the River Coquet at about 1900 BST on Friday. Expert negotiators were brought in to speak to him, and unconfirmed reports suggested a friend of Moat was also brought inside the police cordon to try to persuade him to surrender. Because police had contact with Moat prior to his death, the incident has been referred to the Independent Police Complaints Commission. Northumbria Police Temporary Chief Constable Sue Sim said: \"While the incident has been brought to a close we must be mindful of the impact it has had on many lives. \"Our thoughts are with the family and friends of those affected. \"I'd like to thank the public, particularly the community of Rothbury, for their continued help throughout the inquiry. \"This has been a difficult time for them and their support has been invaluable.\" An IPCC spokesman said its investigation would look specifically at whether the State did all it could to prevent loss of life. He said this would include taking witness statements from those involved in the negotiations. A post-mortem examination will also be carried out to confirm the cause of Moat's death and what sort of gunshot wound he suffered. The IPCC report and the post-mortem findings will both be sent to the coroner who will hold an inquest into the death at a later date. A forensic examination of the scene where Moat died was ongoing on Saturday. The investigation was also focussing on an area close to a culvert near the River Coquet, where it is thought Moat had hidden from searchers. Sir Alan Beith, Lib Dem MP for Berwick upon Tweed, which includes Rothbury, said the police faced \"key questions\" about the police investigation into Moat. He added: \"The people of the Rothbury area coped superbly with a difficult and dangerous situation and everyone is relieved that it is over. \"Key questions will now have to be investigated by the IPCC, but local people were keen throughout to support the police. \"The first objective now is to get back to normal and welcome visitors and tourists back to this beautiful area.\" The BBC's Jon Sopel, who is in Rothbury, said: \"There is a sense of relief here that people can go on with their lives in safety. \"But there is still a police cordon in place and forensic teams are still trying to work out where exactly Raoul Moat was hiding. \"So effectively Rothbury is a town cut in two at the moment. Life still hasn't got back to normal quite yet and I suspect it may not do for some time to come.\" Former police firearms adviser, Andy Redhead said: \"All the officers involved in this operation are relieved that it's over. \"And I dare say there is also an element of disappointment that Mr Moat was not persuaded to put the weapon down and surrender. \"I think with any police investigation of this magnitude there are always going to be lessons learnt. There will be lessons learnt here, good and bad on various aspects.\" Police grudge Moat had been on the run for a week after allegedly shooting his ex-girlfriend Samantha Stobbart and killing her new partner, Chris Brown. The attacks took place in the Scafell area of Birtley, near Gateshead, on Saturday 3 July. In the early hours of Sunday 4 July, Moat is alleged to have shot Pc David Rathband as he sat in his patrol car in East Denton, near Newcastle. Moat was released from prison on Thursday 1 July. Northumbria Police said he appeared to have a grudge against the force and in a letter purportedly written by him, he threatened to keep shooting officers until he was dead. Police later warned of a wider threat to the public. Jon Sopel said that warning followed the discovery of a dictaphone in a tent used by Moat. He said the dictaphone contained four hours of recordings in which Moat said he was unhappy with the way details of his private life were being reported and unless that stopped he would start targeting members of the public. It also emerged Moat had indicated to police he had \"significant unhappiness\" with what he considered to be misreporting by the media and believed the police were manipulating the media deliberately. Police said he threatened to harm members of the public for each inaccuracy he perceived. Psychologists also concluded there was a \"high risk\" that Moat would be responsible for future violent conduct. The focus of the manhunt moved to Rothbury when a black Lexus car, which Moat was thought to have been using, was discovered in the town on Tuesday. Police imposed a 10-mile (16km) exclusion zone around the town and armed officers from forces across the country were brought in to assist in the search.",

The park said the decision had been taken after a \"dramatic increase\" in camping and was needed to \"protect public health, wildlife and nature\". To assist rangers with enforcement, national park marshals will be employed from funding provided by the Devon and Cornwall Police and Crime Commissioner Alison Hernandez. The authority said: \"At Bellever there have been unsustainable levels of anti-social behaviour with littering, human waste and fires causing damage to habitats and animals.\" 'Risk to wildlife' On one night in July, 70 tents were recorded at Bellever - also known as Riddon Ridge - and 50 fire pits were counted along a 500m (1,640ft) stretch of riverbank.

            "input": "By Jonathan AmosBBC Science Correspondent It takes the form of a 130m section of rock drilled from under the Gulf of Mexico. These are sediments that were laid down in the seconds to hours after a huge asteroid had slammed into the planet. You'll know the event we're talking about - the one researchers now think was responsible for the demise of the dinosaurs and the rise of mammals. The high-resolution account of this catastrophe was recovered by a UK/US-led team, who spent several weeks in 2016 drilling into what remains of the crater produced by the impact. Today, this 200km-wide structure is positioned under Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula, with its best preserved central portions sitting just offshore of the port of Chicxulub. The team pulled up a great long core of rock but it's a particular 130m-long section that essentially documents the first day of what geologists call the Cenozoic Era, or as some others like to refer to it: the Age of Mammals. Chicxulub Crater - The impact that changed life on Earth The section is a nightmarish jumble of shattered material, but its contents are arranged in such a way that scientists say they can discern a clear narrative. The bottom 20m or so, is dominated by glassy debris. This is the rock that was melted by the heat and pressure of the impact. It lapped across the base of the crater in the subsequent seconds and minutes. This then transitions to a lot of fragmented melt rock - the result of explosions as water rushed over the hot material. The water came from the shallow sea covering the area at the time. It would have been pushed temporarily out of the way by the impact but when it came back in and made contact with the broiling rock, it would have set off violent reactions. Something similar occurs at volcanoes where magma interacts with seawater. This phase covers the first minutes to an hour. But the water keeps coming, filling up the crater, and the top 80-90m of the core section is built from all the debris that was in this water and ultimately rained out. Larger fragments initially followed by finer and finer material. The timescale for this is the first hours after the impact. And then, right at the top of the 130m core section is evidence of a tsunami. The sediments all dip in one direction and their organisation suggests they were deposited in a high-energy event. Scientists say the impact would have generated a giant wave pulse that would have crashed on to shorelines hundreds of kilometres from the crater. But this outward train would also have had a return pulse and it's the debris carried in this tsunami that caps the top of the rock sequence. \"This is all still Day One,\" says Prof Sean Gulick from the University of Texas at Austin. \"Tsunamis move at the speed of a jet plane. Twenty-four hours is a generous amount of time for the waves to move out and come back in again,\" he told BBC News. Prof Gulick's team is confident in the tsunami interpretation because mixed in with the deposits are soil markers, and charcoal - evidence of the great fires that would have been triggered on nearby landmasses by the heat of the impact - all brought back to the crater by the returning wave pulse. Strikingly, what the team doesn't see anywhere in the 130m core is the presence of sulphur. That's surprising because the asteroid would have hit a seafloor made up by perhaps a third to a half with sulphur-containing minerals, such as gypsum. For some reason, the sulphur must have been preferentially ejected or vaporised. But this only goes to support the popular theory now for how the dinosaurs met their demise. So much sulphur mixed with water and injected into the sky would have dramatically cooled the climate, making life a struggle for all sorts of plant and animal life. \"There was a global climate model run with just a hundred gigatonnes (billion tonnes) of sulphur injected into the atmosphere and that came up with 25C cooling for at least 15 years, which puts most of the planet below freezing,\" said Prof Gulick. \"And the conservative estimate for the amount of sulphur released is 325 gigatonnes. That's orders of magnitude more than you would get from any volcano like a Krakatau which can also cool the climate for a short period.\" The mammals pulled through this calamity, the dinosaurs did not.

It said the West Midlands, Greater Manchester and Met forces had all acted \"disproportionately\". Police say the practice targets knife and gang crime but is under review. The EHRC research looked at the use of Section 60 of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994, which was originally introduced to tackle football hooligans. Unlike stop and search powers under the Police and Criminal Evidence Act, officers are not required to suspect a crime is about to be committed when they search pedestrians or vehicles but they must work within a specified area and during a set period of time. The EHRC previously successfully campaigned for an end to anti-terrorism stop and search legislation and has worked with police forces and the Home Office to bring about changes to other stop and search powers after expressing similar concerns about the targeting of ethnic communities. In January the Met Police announced a radical overhaul of all its stop and search powers. Simon Wooley, lead commissioner on race for the EHRC, said: \"It has been encouraging that some forces, such as the Metropolitan Police, have recognised the need to end disproportionate stop and search. \"Evidence-led policing is much more effective, and avoids alienating the very people who should be helping the police to catch criminals.\" 'Critical powers' Data supplied by 24 out of the 40 forces in England indicated that ethnic minority people made up 64% of all those stopped in 2010-2011 under Section 60, up from 51% two years earlier. However, the overall number of searches fell in the period. British Transport Police officers were found to be 31 times more likely to search black people than white people in 2010-2011. Black people were 28 times as likely to be stopped by West Midlands Police and 21 times as likely by the Greater Manchester force. Asian people were eight times more likely to be searched than white people in the West Midlands, and twice as likely under Greater Manchester Police last year. The EHRC said the Met and Merseyside forces carried out more than 90% of all Section 60 stop and searches over the three years. Black people were 3.3 times as likely to be stopped as white people on Merseyside in the 2010-11 period but Asian people only marginally more. Black people were 11 times as likely and Asian 4.5 times as likely as white people to be stopped in the London area last year, the EHRC said. The EHRC figures showed stop and searches under Section 60 led to 4,230 arrests in England in 2008-09 but only 527 of these were for offensive weapons. Last year there were 1,364 arrests, of which 220 were for weapons. The EHRC acknowledged that some Section 60 stops were directed at criminal activity involving ethnic minorities. However, it said police officers could be exposed to discrimination claims unless there was greater transparency about such operations. Deputy Commissioner Craig Mackey, the Association of Chief Police Officer's lead for stop and search, said the EHRC report was a \"welcome step in further understanding the impact that stop and search can have within our communities\". He added: \"Chief officers support the use of stop and search as these powers are critical in our efforts to tackle knife, gun and gang crimes. \"It is important that there is a debate about the effectiveness of these police tactics as we seek to balance the impact of powers, like section 60, on our communities with the need to protect communities from serious crime.\"",

In their study, the team found that birds nesting in noisy areas were less effective at feeding their chicks as those that nested in quieter places. The findings have been published in the journal Plos One. Scientists from the University of Sheffield reached their conclusion after carrying out a study on Lundy, a 445-hectare (1,100-acre) island located 19km (12mi) off the North Devon coast. Co-author Julia Schroeder explained that the project happened more-or-less by chance. \"When I first went to the island, which is very remote and quiet - apart from gulls and shearwaters - I entered a barn and it was very loud,\" she recalled. The barn contained an electricity generator, yet sparrows were still choosing to nest in the building, so Dr Schroeder wondered whether the conditions affected the songbirds. \"I found that there was a reduced fitness - a reduced reproductive output from the nest boxes located in the noisy area,\" she told BBC News. So she decided to test her findings against classic hypotheses on how noise could affect birds. \"The main hypothesis regarding breeding output is that it affects mate choice decisions,\" she explained. Steep decline However, the study's findings did not fit the existing hypotheses. \"In our case, we saw that the birds did not feed the chicks as well as the birds in the quiet area - this was a novel idea that had not been shown before,\" Dr Schroeder said. \"Obviously, chick provision is strongly linked to chick survival because if they do not get fat then they die.\" Noise seemed to interrupt the communication between the young birds and their parents. \"The only difference we found from normal behaviour was in the provisioning behaviour,\" she observed. \"Chicks that were reared in the noisy barn were lighter when they fledged. \"So this is why we have said that we think that the provisioning behaviour of females is a factor.\" Between the mid-1970s and 2008, the UK's sparrow population declined by 71% - with some of the sharpest declines occurring in towns and cities. Dr Schroeder and the team suggested that the noise from the generator on Lundy was comparable to car noise in urban areas. \"There are lots of studies on great tits and urban noise, but these tend to focus around mate choice, where the male advertises its quality to the female. \"But the idea that the communication between parents and offspring could be affected in cities is fairly new.\" In 2007, another study by researchers at the University of Sheffield published in Biology Letters found that urban-based robins were choosing to sing and communicate at night in order to avoid noise during the day. Until then, it had been thought that birds were singing at night because they were being disturbed by light pollution. Dr Schroeder added that it could be that other songbird species could also be affected in a similar way as the sparrows on Lundy. She observed: \"Many songbirds communicate in a similar way so it is possible that other species could be affected too.\"",

After she struggled to find a suitable school for Lewis, she said she used her legal skills in a meeting with Swansea council - and secured funding for a place at an independent school. Mrs McMurdo, 37, now hopes to gain a PhD and work to \"change the system from within\". \"People are getting into huge amounts of debt and even selling their houses to cover the legal fees to fight for an appropriate education for their children,\" she said. \"I was horrified by the schools I saw - they were completely unsuitable. So I used my legal training to secure a place at an appropriate school for my son.\" Mrs McMurdo, who previously worked on a coastguard rescue team and as a teacher, said Lewis hit all his developmental milestones for the first year of his life, but then the progress stopped. \"He wasn't developing social skills and interacting with other people and babies. Also, his speech was delayed.\" When Lewis was diagnosed Mrs McMurdo realised she would need to arm herself with legal skills to be able to get him the support he needed. \"I realised I would have to battle every step of the way to get Lewis the help he needed,\" Mrs McMurdo said. \"He only received physiotherapy that helped him walk at two years old because I accosted the physiotherapist in a hospital car park. \"Everywhere I turned, I encountered bureaucracy. I could literally spend every waking hour attending appointments.\" Lewis entered mainstream education aged four at a local school with an infant special teaching facility - but it could only accommodate him until the end of year two. Mrs McMurdo said: \"I hated the so-called special schools I looked around. One of them even had a seclusion room that was basically a padded cell. \"I started looking into independent schools and found the perfect setting for Lewis an hour's drive away. \"There were only 13 children in the school and there was a kind, calm atmosphere where the pupils could learn and thrive, really reach their potential. \"But the school was expensive and I knew I had a fight on my hands to secure funding for Lewis.\" Lewis' autism means he has the emotional capacity of an 18-month-old. \"It makes him very vulnerable because he has the physical speed and agility of a nine-year-old, so he is constantly at risk,\" Mrs McMurdo said. \"His learning disabilities and sensory issues are also severe.\" Mrs McMurdo said a solicitor quoted her £10,000 just to fight her case. \"I didn't have that sort of money lying around,\" she said. \"I had ambitions of becoming a barrister and fighting for the rights of families with special needs children. \"The course was intensive and I often studied through the night when I was up with Lewis.\" As Mrs McMurdo was supposed to be revising for her upcoming end of year exams, she called an emergency meeting with education representatives from Swansea council. 'I want to do it for Lewis' Mrs McMurdo said within a week she heard Lewis had secured funding for a place at the school. \"Lewis is now thriving there. The school and its staff are the best thing that has ever happened to us. \"Since attending, they've taught him to start saying some words and he actually calls me 'mama' now, which means so much - I waited eight years to hear that. \"The whole experience has been life-changing. All Lewis' needs are met in one place and life is no longer a daily battle.\" After passing her graduate diploma, Mrs McMurdo went on to achieve a legal practice with masters degree, and graduated in December last year. \"I wanted to do what I'd done for Lewis for other people. But I've had to accept that I can't realistically work as a barrister and care for Lewis. My whole life is going to be about him. \"Instead I'm going down the academic route because I can study at home in the middle of the night. \"I want to do it for Lewis, for my family and for society.\"",

Dignitaries will descend on site for a glitzy event in July marking 100 years since US explorer Hiram Bingham came upon the site, but the origins of Machu Picchu were far less glamorous. According to a study published in archaeological review Antiquity, llama droppings provided the basis for the growth of Inca society. It was the switch from hunter-gathering to agriculture 2,700 years ago that first led the Incas to settle and flourish in the Cuzco area where Machu Picchu sits, according to the study's author Alex Chepstow-Lusty. Mr Chepstow-Lusty, of the French Institute of Andean Studies in Lima, said the development of agriculture and the growing of maize crops is key to the growth of societies. \"Cereals make civilisations,\" he said. Mr Chepstow-Lusty has spent years analysing organic deposits in the mud of a small lake, \"more of a pond really,\" called Marcaccocha on the road between the lower-lying jungle and Machu Picchu. His team found a correlation between the first appearance of maize pollen around 700BC - which showed for the first time that the cereal could be grown at high altitudes - and a spike in the number of mites who feed on animal excrement. They concluded that the widespread shift to agriculture was only possible with an extra ingredient: organic fertilisers on a vast scale. In other words, lots of llama droppings. Llamas' legacy Llamas were and still are commonly used in the Peruvian Andes to carry goods and provide meat and wool. Marcaccocha is situated next to an ancient trade route, and llamas transporting goods between the jungle and the mountains would stop to have a drink and \"defecate communally\". \"This provided fertiliser which was easily collectable as today by the local people for the surrounding field systems,\" Mr Chepstow-Lusty said. As the Incas moved from eating wild quinoa to maize, which is higher in calories, their society developed in the Cuzco area. Some 1,800 years after they first moved from hunter-gathering to agriculture, around 1100AD, a bout of prolonged warmer weather allowed the civilisation to really flourish, leading to the building of large stone settlements like Ollaytaytambo and Machu Picchu. Today, the Incas are long gone, largely wiped out by the Spanish conquistadors in the 1500s. But their descendants, the Quechua, still use llama droppings for fertiliser and cooking fuel. \"The valley is full of indigenous people who follow that way of life from 2,000 years ago,\" said Mr Chepstow-Lusty. When the guests arrive in Machu Picchu to celebrate 100 years since Hiram Bingham brought it to the world's notice, they can perhaps thank the humble llama for the sight they see before them.",

He added: \"The exchange will allow networks to stop 'tromboning\" traffic to London and back again, and will help increase resilience by creating a new centre for interconnection in the UK.\" The announcement came as the Scottish government released its second annual digital strategy progress report and update. The report outlines progress made in the last year across all four main strands of the government's digital strategy. The strategy includes an undertaking to invest more than £240m in extending next-generation broadband access to 95% of premises in Scotland by 2017/18.",

Last week, Navalny started a hunger strike to demand proper treatment for acute back and leg pain. The White House said reports that his health was worsening were disturbing. Mr Kobzev, who visited Navalny on Wednesday, said on Twitter (in Russian): \"Alexei is walking himself. He feels pain while walking. It is very concerning that the illness is clearly progressing in terms of losing sensation in his legs, palms and wrists.\" Earlier this week, Navalny, 44, was moved to a sick ward in the prison in the town of Pokrov with symptoms of a respiratory illness. He had complained of a persistent cough and temperature. His temperature was oscillating and had fallen to 37C (98.6F) on Wednesday after reaching 39C (102F) on Monday, according to the lawyer, who said Navalny was losing 1kg (2lbs) a day due to a hunger strike. In an Instagram post, Navalny said prison authorities were trying to undermine his hunger strike by roasting chicken near him and placing sweets in the pockets of his clothes. Also on Wednesday, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said the Biden administration considered Navalny's imprisonment \"politically motivated and a gross injustice\" and called for his immediate release. Earlier, human rights group Amnesty International said Navalny had been incarcerated in conditions that amount to torture and may slowly be killing him. Campaigners say the prison is known for its especially harsh conditions. Navalny's lawyers, who have been visiting him in custody, say there are no doctors at the colony and the medical unit on-site is run by a single paramedic. Last week, Russia's prison service denied Navalny's allegations that he was not receiving proper treatment, saying he had been given \"all the necessary medical assistance in accordance with his medical indications\". On Monday, he said as many as three people from his unit had been taken to hospital with tuberculosis recently, a claim the Russian prison service denied. Navalny was given a suspended sentence for embezzlement in 2014, a conviction widely seen as politically motivated. He was airlifted to Germany for treatment after he was poisoned in Siberia with a Novichok nerve agent. When he returned in January he was immediately taken into custody and a court jailed him for defying the probation terms of the suspended sentence while he was being treated in Germany.",

Its report criticised the government's legal aid changes and said they had \"harmed access to justice\" for some. The Ministry of Justice said legal aid is available where it is needed and the reforms were kept \"under close review\". The Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act 2012 (Laspo) removed legal aid from private family law, but those who can provide evidence of domestic violence are still eligible. This evidence must be from no more than two years ago. The committee heard that this requirement \"presented problems for victims\", as a court case could happen long after a relationship breakdown. Clare Laxton, public policy officer at charity Women's Aid, told the committee that some of the most common forms of domestic abuse, including emotional and psychological abuse, are difficult to evidence. 'Barriers to justice' The committee said the Ministry of Justice had failed in three of its four objectives for Laspo. There had been a \"significant rise\" in litigants in person, the Ministry of Justice had \"failed to target legal aid\" to those who need it most, and it had failed to prove that it was better overall value for money, the report said - although savings had been made. Recommendations from the committee included better information from the government on eligibility for legal aid. Committee chairman Sir Alan Beith said while the Ministry of Justice had successfully made savings, this had \"limited access to justice for some of those who need legal aid the most\". He said it was \"vitally important\" the Ministry of Justice remedied this. Jenny Beck, co-chairwoman of the Legal Aid Practitioners Group, said that it was difficult for people in crisis to obtain legal advice because of \"unnecessary bureaucratic hurdles\". \"The cuts to the legal aid system have resulted in barriers to justice for ordinary people,\" she said. Gillian Guy, chief executive of Citizens Advice, said abuse victims face \"overwhelming challenges\" because of restrictions on legal aid. \"It is unacceptable that victims are left to shoulder the burden of obtaining evidence in order to protect their children or separate from their abuser,\" she said. \"Paying legal aid contributions or meeting evidence requirements that mainly focus on physical abuse create extra barriers to justice for victims of financial abuse.\" A Ministry of Justice spokesman said legal aid was a \"vital part\" of the justice system. \"We protected civil legal aid so it remains available where legal help and advice is most needed,\" he said. \"It is entirely untrue to allege people who are eligible for legal aid under Laspo did not get it. \"We are keeping these reforms under close review and have already made changes to address issues raised. \"We are also undertaking a comprehensive research programme to better understand why people choose to go court and how they deal with legal problems.\"",

Twenty crew were killed when an Argentine Exocet missile hit the 4,100-tonne destroyer, which had 300 people on board, on 4 May 1982. Questions have been raised about the ship's readiness for the attack as the missile was spotted by another destroyer nearby. 'Tears shed' Task force commanders initially dismissed the sighting as \"spurious\", but within seconds disaster had struck. Mr Purcell, a 22-year-old Able Seaman at the time, is today a member of the HMS Sheffield Association. He said: \"The time between spotting the missile and reacting was literally nanoseconds. \"Everything that could have been done in the circumstances was done. \"Thirty years on, there will be lots of stories told and tears shed at the reunion. That's our way of remembering. \"Rather than trying to lay blame for what happened, let's get on with the rest of our lives. \"We will never forget what happened and we will always remember those who lost their lives.\" As the Exocet approached, Mr Purcell had just stepped back on deck to wait for the kettle to boil in the galley below. \"I joined the others back on watch and we glanced out to our right, the starboard side, to see a huge fireball coming towards us. \"There was then a thud into the ship's side and another fireball as it hit. \"The upper deck was covered in huge amounts of thick smoke within seconds.\" The missile apparently failed to explode, but hit deep into the ship's control room, causing poisonous smoke to billow out on to deck. Mr Purcell added: \"It had taken out our main fire main. We were pumping water out of the sea and throwing it straight back on to the super structure to try and put out the flames. \"Two ships eventually came alongside to start fighting the fires, but as the water was being sprayed on the super structure, it was bouncing back into people's faces and was boiling.\" HMS Sheffield was hit while carrying out a scouting mission off Port Stanley in the South Atlantic. It was the first British ship to be lost in enemy action since World War II, and the first of four British ships to be sunk by the Argentine air force in the Falklands conflict. As the fires continued to rage, the burning vessel was abandoned after five hours due to the risk of further explosions. But the lack of damage below the water line meant HMS Sheffield did not sink immediately. It continued to burn fiercely for another two days. A salvage attempt failed and the ship eventually sank while being towed away from the Falklands, almost a week later.",

It has also expressed alarm over reports that tests and answers are being widely shared on TikTok. The Scottish Qualifications Authority said results will be based on \"demonstrated attainment\". Connect, which represents almost 2,000 parent councils, said it had understood that the system to help decide grades, after formal exams were cancelled, would be a combination of course work and teacher judgement. Instead the group says the process \"simply mimics the very worst elements of the inequitable system it replaces\". In an open letter to the first minister and the SQA, Connect executive director Eileen Prior said young people are doing assessments which are, in effect, exams \"within school time\". She warned pupils face \"an even more challenging timetable than SQA exams\" and, with no study leave, have been driven to \"cram for tests rather than to learn\". Ms Prior said young people have been negatively impacted by factors outwith their control, such as having to self-isolate, and are suffering from social isolation. She added: \"We also understand that these tests, with answers, are being circulated on TikTok. \"How can there be any hope of this being a fair system, when indeed different schools are adopting different approaches?\" 'Exceptional times' Connect also called for personal circumstances to be taken into account in the estimated grade from schools in light of the \"exceptional times\".

In addition, 80% had concerns about coursework and assessments for qualifications. An SQA spokesman said: \"We fully appreciate that this is a challenging time for learners across Scotland. \"There is no requirement to replicate a full formal exam or prelim diet this year and that results need to be based on demonstrated attainment by assessment in a flexible way to suit local circumstances. \"SQA has provided a flexible and consistent framework for schools and colleges this year, including detailed guidance, material and support, based on assessment standards that teachers and lecturers are familiar with.\" The Scottish government acknowledged lockdown and remote learning means pupils are doing assessments over a shorter period than was anticipated. A spokeswoman added: \"To help address this, coursework has been reduced for most subjects and schools have been given flexibility around the timing and nature of assessments to ensure that, as far as possible, there is maximum opportunity for learners to undertake the required learning and to have the best chance to succeed. \"Teachers, who know their learners best, will use their professional judgement to judge demonstrated evidence of learning and skills and set provisional grades.\" She also confirmed a \"later certification\" contingency plan has been agreed for pupils who have experienced severe disruption.

            "input": "By Caleb SpencerBBC News The report by Friends of the Earth and Platform also shows local authority pension funds UK-wide had fossil fuel investments of almost £9.9bn. But the campaign groups acknowledged there had been a reduction since 2017. The body representing local authorities in Wales said they were committed to the decarbonisation agenda. A spokesman for the Welsh Local Government Association (WLGA) said it encouraged the development of ethical investment principles by the Welsh pension funds that ultimately make decisions And the Wales Pension Partnership said funds were working to reduce their exposure to fossil fuels. The Welsh Government said investments were \"matters for the pension authority\". But Wales' Environment Minister Lesley Griffiths has said previously she wants Wales to achieve net-zero carbon emissions before the official target of date of 2050. The latest figures are published as the UK prepares to host the COP26 summit - the major UN climate change conference to be held in Glasgow in November. What are local authority pension funds? Local authority pension funds control billions of pounds put away by public sector workers for their retirement. The pension funds have members beyond local authorities, including colleges, universities, national parks, and town and community councils. The money is invested - directly, or indirectly through external fund managers - in companies which offer small but predictable returns. Campaigns to reduce pension investments in companies on ethical grounds - often called \"divestment\" - range from those against fossil fuels, fast fashion, tobacco and even arms. What do the figures show? Using Freedom of Information laws, Friends of the Earth and Platform asked 98 UK pension funds where their money was invested. Despite 75% of UK councils having declared climate emergencies, including 16 of Wales' 22 local authorities according to Climate Emergency UK, 3% of the total value of the Local Government Pension Scheme was invested in fossil fuels. This included £3.4bn in coal and £6.5bn in oil and gas. The campaign groups claim the true figure is likely to be higher because they only looked for investments in the 200 biggest fossil fuel companies. Since the groups' last report in 2017, authors say there is a \"much bigger proportion\" of fossil fuel investment happening through \"indirect investment vehicles\". This is when a pension fund effectively outsources investments to an external fund manager who is in charge of investing the money in specific ways. They say this poses transparency and accountability problems. What is the picture in Wales? There are eight pension funds in Wales, which correspond roughly to the eight preserved counties and are made up chiefly of county councils, fire and police authorities, and national park authorities. The list does not include all members. Source: Wales local government pension funds. In total, Wales' local authority pension funds had £516.6m invested in fossil fuel companies at the end of the 2019-20 financial year. This represented 3% of the funds' total value of £17.5bn. In terms of total value invested in fossil fuels, Rhondda Cynon Taf had the highest with £103.3m of its £3.35bn fund (3.1%) invested in such companies, followed by Dyfed (£78.7m, 2.9%) and Clwyd (£77.2m, 4.3%). The lowest was Powys with £19.8m of its £631bn fund (3.1%) invested in coal, oil and gas companies, followed by Gwynedd (£51.5m, 2.7%) and Cardiff and Vale of Glamorgan (£57.5m, 2.9%). The Greater Gwent Pension Fund had £70.8m invested in fossil fuels, representing 2.35% of its £3bn fund, and Swansea had £57.5m of its £2bn fund (2.9%) invested in such companies. The Wales Pension Partnership, a pool of the eight Welsh local authority pension funds established in 2017, is administered by Carmarthenshire council, which is the host authority for the Dyfed Pension Fund. What has been the response? Friends of the Earth (FOE) Cymru say that while some councils had been more \"proactive\" than others, including Cardiff and Monmouthshire local authorities, the level of investment in CO2-producing businesses was \"outrageous\". FOE Cymru spokesman Bleddyn Lake said: \"These pension funds, the Wales Pension Partnership and the Welsh Government should be sitting down to work out a plan to ditch fossil fuels and invest the money instead into projects in Wales to create jobs and give a good return on investment.\" The Dyfed Pension Fund, one of Wales' biggest and administered by Carmarthenshire council, recently announced it is to reduce its fossil fuel holdings by about 16%. \"Climate risk and progressing to a low carbon environment is top of the committee's agenda,\" said Elwyn Williams, chairman of the fund committee. The Welsh Government said it had written to each pension authority and the Wales Pension Partnership in 2019 asking how they were taking account of the climate emergency in their pensions investment policies. \"We are committed to achieving net-zero admissions for Wales by 2050 and are working closely with local government and other public sector partners to achieve this,\" a government spokeswoman said. The WLGA spokesman said of the Welsh pension funds: \"They all give due consideration to socially responsible investments and are members of the Local Authority Pension Fund Forum which considers and advises on ethical and climate related investment issues. \"The pooling of the eight funds in Wales offers an opportunity to share good practice under the Welsh Pension Partnership Joint Committee in relation to responsible investment including fossil fuels. \"To date they have been able to take steps to lower carbon exposure without impacting performance.\" A spokesman for the Wales Pension Partnership said a \"climate risk policy\" had been developed, with an \"ambition to report on progress\" towards its objectives. The report's authors said Dyfed Pension Fund refused to provide them with full details of its indirect investments, citing concerns over commercial sensitivity. As a result, BBC Wales asked Dyfed Pension Fund for its own figures for a comparable timeframe, but it could only provide figures for September 2020. As a result, the figures reported for the fund are not strictly directly comparable, but are broadly indicative.",

In an ITV documentary on 3 October, five women alleged that Sir Jimmy sexually assaulted them as teenagers. After assessing allegations against him, Scotland Yard have launched a joint investigation with the NSPCC to pursue 120 separate lines of inquiry. Commander Peter Spindler, head of specialist crime investigations at the Metropolitan Police, said police had recorded eight allegations against Sir Jimmy, including six indecent assaults and two rapes. Cdr Spindler praised the alleged victims for \"shining a light\" on the abuse. BBC director general George Entwistle has since promised a \"comprehensive examination\" of the allegations, after the Met has finished its inquiries. The claims cast a shadow over the career of the 84-year-old, who was one of Britain's most established showbusiness figures and a prolific charity fund-raiser. The country's first pop disc jockey, Sir Jimmy was also a seasoned television presenter, the iconic Mr Fixit, a marathon runner, Mensa member, wrestler and fund-raiser. He was never charged with any abuse offences during his lifetime. Born performer Jimmy Savile was born on 31 October 1926 in Leeds, the youngest of seven children. During World War II he was conscripted as a Bevin Boy, working in the coal mines as an alternative to active service in the armed forces. In an era dominated by live music, he started playing records in local dance halls. In 1947, according to his autobiography, he started using twin turntables and a microphone, effectively becoming the first disc jockey. A born performer, Savile was spotted by television cameras spinning discs at his own Plaza dance hall in Manchester. He grasped the opportunity to become a broadcaster, working at Radio Luxembourg before moving to Radio One. He was the first host of Top of the Pops in 1964 and helped front the programme for more than 20 years. Sir Jimmy also had a role on the music show's final edition in 2006. Even among his fellow medallion men Savile revelled in his eccentricity, hanging upside down, appearing in a banana costume and generally refusing to follow fashion. He was on BBC television for nearly two decades from 1974 in his guise as a perennial Santa Claus, granting viewers' wishes from his magic chair on Jim'll Fix It. The programme received 20,000 letters a week. A handful of correspondents went on to see their dream come true and with it they received a treasured Jim'll Fix It badge. Allegations emerge But it was during this period that Sir Jimmy allegedly sexually abused teenage girls, five of whom made their claims public during an ITV documentary that aired on 3 October 2012. During Exposure: The Other Side Of Jimmy Savile, one woman alleged she was raped by Sir Jimmy, with another describing how she was asked to perform a sex act on him. Another woman described how, as a 14-year-old in 1974, she met Sir Jimmy at a school in Surrey and was assaulted in his caravan, while it was parked in the school grounds. One woman also explained she was too frightened to make her claims public while the presenter was alive. Sue Thompson - a former newsroom assistant at BBC Leeds - also claimed she walked into the star's dressing room after a TV recording and found Sir Jimmy with a young teenager. In the aftermath of the ITV documentary, the Met said it would weigh up evidence against Sir Jimmy. After several days, the force announced it was pursuing 120 separate lines of inquiry and added there could be up to 30 victims spanning four decades. Cdr Spindler said Sir Jimmy's pattern of offending behaviour appeared to be on \"a national scale\" and he had a \"predilection for teenage girls\". It also emerged that Surrey, Sussex and Jersey Police had all received complaints about Sir Jimmy but concluded there was not enough evidence to pursue them. Journalist and presenter Janet Street-Porter claimed on BBC Question Time that there was a culture of \"inappropriate sexual behaviour\" in the light entertainment industry and added she \"was aware of the rumours about Jimmy Savile\" during her time as a BBC executive. As the controversy grew, tributes to the presenter's charity work, including a Savile's View footpath sign in Scarborough were removed and trustees at the Jimmy Savile Charitable Trust said they were considering whether to change its name. There were also calls for him to be stripped of his knighthood. The newly appointed boss of the BBC, George Entwistle, apologised on Radio 4's Today programme to the women involved and promised an internal investigation once the police inquiries were completed. Complex personality Sir Jimmy's family have jumped to the defence of the deceased entertainer. His nephew Roger Foster said he was \"sad and disgusted\" by the claims and added he feared the allegations \"could affect his legacy, his charity work, everything\". The star ran more than 200 fundraising marathons and as a devout Roman Catholic was given a Papal knighthood for his efforts. He was similarly rewarded by the Queen in 1990 and acted as an unofficial adviser to the Prince of Wales for a number of years. His appearance - that of a platinum-haired, cigar-smoking, entertainment stalwart - hid a complex personality. He eschewed the services of a manager or secretary, and shrank from the intimacy of personal relationships. He saved his greatest affection and reverence for his late mother, whom he called the Duchess. He lived with her until her death in 1973 and continued to own the house they shared until he died. Of his own persona, Sir Jimmy said: \"The reason I can do things that other people can't is because I'm a single guy and have plenty of time. \"I don't want anything from anybody. I'm just unusual.\"",

Chief executive Bill Upham said: \"We know people who would starve themselves because they have been so scared to go to the shops.\" \"Some have been so terrified to collect their medicines that they have been having suicidal thoughts. We have been delivering food and medicines.\" Amy Mitchell, divisional head of occupational therapy for mental health and learning disabilities at Aneurin Bevan health board, said there had been an increase in \"crisis referrals\" in the past month and rising levels of anxiety. But she said the increase in referrals could be for a variety of reasons. \"We've noticed quite a big increase in crisis referrals, people who are socially isolated and feeling quite depressed as a result of that. \"We're seeing more referrals at the primary care level for things like anxiety management,\" she said. \"We are anticipating a surge in referrals, particularly over the winter.\" She added it was likely anxiety about the pandemic had meant people have struggled to access food and medication, but said a \"welfare initiative\" was in place to help people who were suffering. Ahead of the winter she said: \"We are trying to put measures in place so that people feel supported and they know how to access services directly.\"",

The draft document describes it as a pattern of persistent or recurrent gaming behaviour so severe that it takes \"precedence over other life interests\". Some countries had already identified it as a major public health issue. Many, including the UK, have private addiction clinics to \"treat\" the condition. The last version of the ICD was completed in 1992, with the new guide due to be published in 2018. The guide contains codes for diseases, signs and symptoms and is used by doctors and researchers to track and diagnose disease. It will suggest that abnormal gaming behaviour should be in evidence over a period of at least 12 months \"for a diagnosis to be assigned\" but added that period might be shortened \"if symptoms are severe\". Symptoms include: Dr Richard Graham, lead technology addiction specialist at the Nightingale Hospital in London, welcomed the decision to recognise the condition. \"It is significant because it creates the opportunity for more specialised services. It puts it on the map as something to take seriously.\" But he added that he would have sympathy for those who do not think the condition should be medicalised. \"It could lead to confused parents whose children are just enthusiastic gamers.\" He said he sees about 50 new cases of digital addiction each year and his criteria is based on whether the activity is affecting basic things such as sleep, eating, socialising and education. He said one question he asked himself was: \"Is the addiction taking up neurological real-estate, dominating thinking and preoccupation?\" Many psychiatrists refer to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), the fifth edition of which was published in 2013. In that, internet gaming disorder is listed as a \"condition for further study\", meaning it is not officially recognised. Lots of countries are grappling with the issue and in South Korea the government has introduced a law banning access for children under 16 from online games between midnight and 06:00. In Japan, players are alerted if they spend more than a certain amount of time each month playing games and in China, internet giant Tencent has limited the hours that children can play its most popular games. A recent study from the University of Oxford suggested that, although children spend a lot of time on their screens, they generally managed to intertwine their digital pastimes with daily life. The research - looking at children aged eight to 18 - found that boys spent longer playing video games than girls. Researcher Killian Mullan said: \"People think that children are addicted to technology and in front of these screens 24/7, to the exclusion of other activities - and we now know that is not the case.\" \"Our findings show that technology is being used with and in some cases perhaps to support other activities, like homework for instance, and not pushing them out,\" he added. \"Just like we adults do, children spread their digital tech use throughout the day, while doing other things.\" You might also like:",

The US space agency probe continues to downlink the information gathered during its historic flyby of the dwarf planet on 14 July. As this data arrives on Earth, the team processes it and studies it. A black and white image of the hazes was previously released, showing them to be as high as 130km above Pluto's surface. That picture came from the Lorri camera and was acquired as New Horizons departed the dwarf, looking back to see sunlight skim the edge of the distant world. This new view comes from the Ralph colour camera system. Again, it is taken with Pluto backlit. Like Earth, the dwarf has a predominantly nitrogen atmosphere, albeit much more sparse. But it is the interaction of this nitrogen with the Sun's ultraviolet light, in the presence of another atmospheric constituent, methane, that is able to create the chunky haze particles. \"That striking blue tint tells us about the size and composition of the haze particles,\" said New Horizons team member Carly Howett from the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) in Boulder, Colorado. \"A blue sky often results from scattering of sunlight by very small particles. On Earth, those particles are very tiny nitrogen molecules. On Pluto they appear to be larger - but still relatively small - soot-like particles we call tholins.\" The principal investigator on the mission, Alan Stern, had teased Pluto fans in recent days, telling them to expect something special from this week's regular Thursday release of new images. \"Who would have expected a blue sky in the Kuiper Belt? It's gorgeous,\" he said in a Nasa statement. If you stood on Pluto and looked straight up, the sky would actually appear black because of the rarity of the atmosphere. \"The haze is pretty thin, so you'd mostly see the colour of the haze as blue sunrises and sunsets,\" Dr Howett explained to BBC News. The other important piece of news to come out concerns the detection of water-ice at many locations on the 2,300km-wide dwarf's surface. More volatile ices tend to dominate the surface, so understanding why the water-ice is seen strongly in some places is an interesting observation that will need to be followed up, the team says. \"We expected water-ice to be there, but we've searched for water-ice in Pluto's spectrum for decades and not seen it before now,\" tweeted Alex Parker, also from SwRI. Since 14 July, New Horizons has moved more than 100 million km beyond Pluto. And this puts it about five billion km from Earth. The vast separation makes for very low data rates. It will be well into 2016 before all the information is on the ground. Jonathan.Amos-INTERNET@bbc.co.uk and follow me on Twitter: @BBCAmos",

            "input": "By Neil PriorBBC News The custom of tŷ unnos, which translates into English as house in one night, was a commonly-held folklore across Wales between the 17th and 19th centuries. It held that, if a squatter could build a house on common land between dusk and dawn, then the occupier could lay claim to the legal freehold of the property. One academic believes that, in a time when rising house prices in rural Wales are \"causing difficulties\" for young people hoping to remain in their home villages, there's \"renewed interest in values like tŷ unnos\". Smoke had to be issuing from the chimney before sun-up and some regional variations, in particular in Denbighshire, maintained the builder could also claim all the land within the distance they could hurl an axe from each of the four corners of the house. Although the tradition is widely acknowledged, Dafydd Wiliam, principal curator of historic buildings at St Fagans National Museum of History in Cardiff, said finding examples of genuine tai unnos (the plural of tŷ unnos) is virtually impossible. \"As they had to be built overnight, tŷ unnos cottages were by necessity simple structures built from wattle and daub or turf, and capped with a rudimentary thatched roof. \"They needed to last no more than a year while the family could construct a more permanent dwelling, but once a claim to the land had been established overnight, the tai unnos which came in the following months were sturdier, built from stone and slate, and often had a small mezzanine floor or 'crog loft' as a sleeping space. \"So while there are cottages you could say are part of the tŷ unnos tradition, there are no surviving original examples.\" Among St Fagans' collection is Llainfadyn cottage, an early example of a more permanent tŷ unnos, built in 1762 in Rhostryfan, Gwynedd, and rebuilt at the Museum in 1962. The last known tŷ unnos was built in 1882 in Flintshire by four brothers from Lancashire - an adventure which was fictionalised in Oliver Onions' 1914 novel Mushroom Town Tŷ Hyll, (The Ugly House) in Snowdonia is sometimes described as an example of a tŷ unnos cottage, but was likely built in the 19th Century as a romanticised version of the tradition. Tŷ unnos has no basis in either English common law - to which Wales has been subject since 1536 - or medieval Welsh laws, such as those set out by Welsh prince Hywel Dda. Nevertheless there are equivalent customs in Ireland, Italy, France and Turkey. \"Between the 17th and 19th centuries the enclosure of land into large, privately-owned farms and the eviction of those who lived and earned their living from that land, pushed the rural poor to the margins. A theme common to many regions of the world. \"As a folkloric tradition, there were no hard and fast rules and people may have believed different things in different areas. In some areas people believed that throwing an axe from the threshold of the finished cottage would mark the extent of the small holding that went with it,\" Mr Wiliam said. \"However, as an axe would have been a valuable tool to an impoverished family, no-one would risk blunting it by actually hurling it.\" Dr Juliette Wood, Cardiff University's Welsh Folklore expert, agrees, describing tŷ unnos as \"analogous to the Rebecca Riots\". She argues that it follows in a broader Welsh tradition of recalling and adapting ancient folklore to meet the needs of the time. \"Long before the 17th Century, there are Welsh legends of wagers between land owners and peasants, over what could be achieved in a night, and most follow a theme of the plucky underdog outwitting their greedy overlords. \"One surrounds a lord agreeing to grant the amount of land which could be encircled by a single ox hide, so the tenant cuts the hide extremely thinly and encompasses the whole farm, whereas another involves an entire village coming together to win a bet of how much land they could plough overnight.\" She added that even the \"smoke from the chimney\" motif echoes the legend of St David and the smoke which is said to have risen from his first monastic foundation, which became Ty Dewi, the cathedral of St David. Tŷ unnos waned in popularity after the industrial revolution, when thousands of rural labourers migrated to Swansea, Cardiff and the valleys to work in coal and metal. However, Dr Wood believes the sentiment behind it has never entirely left us and is again becoming increasingly relevant in the 21st Century. \"There is a homelessness charity in Wrexham called Tŷ Unnos, and in 2009 Coed Cymru built a tŷ unnos for the Smithsonian Folklore Festival in Washington DC. \"In a time when rising house prices in rural Wales are again causing difficulties for young people to remain in the villages where they were born, there's renewed interest in values like tŷ unnos.\"",

But PSNI chief superintendent Emma Bond says that doesn't necessarily mean fewer racist hate crimes are taking place. \"While it's encouraging to see a drop in some respects, the bigger concern for us is that it could indicate a lack of reporting and potentially a lack of confidence,\" she said. \"Hate crime is traditionally one of those areas that we know is underreported, so actually an increase in reporting levels is something that we would tend to want to see. \"We know that hate hurts, that it has an impact far beyond the individual, far reaching into communities, and it's actually only by us knowing about it, that allows us to take steps to try to prevent it or provide the relevant support to victims. \"What we also know with hate offending is that it can be on an increasing scale of severity - so actually the earlier that people report to us, the more likelihood there is that we could prevent it escalating into more serious or potentially criminal offences.\" 'PSNI wants to improve' A total of 1,582 hate crimes took place in all over the past year, 640 of those were sectarian. The most common racist hate crimes to take place are criminal damage and assault. Police say around 13% to 14% of all racist hate crimes result in someone being punished. That's around half the rate seen with other crimes. Chief Supt Bond said the PSNI wants to improve on this. \"We fully recognise that trust and confidence in the justice system quite often comes from successful prosecutions and our ability actually make offenders amenable for the incident they have perpetrated.\" She said that there is also an issue with \"victims unwilling to see the criminal justice system through\". Northern Ireland is the only part of the UK without specific hate crime laws. A review of hate crime legislation in Northern Ireland is currently underway. So is Northern Ireland a difficult place to live for ethnic minorities? Chief Supt Bond said: \"We know that nobody is born to hate and nobody is born racist so it must be learned behaviour.\" She said \"education and wider awareness is key\" to ensuring \"ignorance does not manifest itself in attacks happening\". \"For some people, they're facing difficulties,\" she added. \"Whether that's born out of a lack of tolerance, a lack of knowledge, a position of ignorance, the real experiences we hear of on a day to day basis show that there are people suffering significantly within communities just because of who they are, and I think it's incumbent upon us as a police service, and our partners and wider communities, to all play the part that we can to make that come to an end.\"",

Jordan plays Bryan Stevenson, an Alabama lawyer who defends inmates who have been wrongly accused or not afforded proper legal representation. \"I wanted to do whatever I could to get this story out to the masses,\" Jordan told BBC News. \"Bryan Stevenson is an extremely important man, he's a national treasure. So whatever I can do to help this man do his job, if this movie is a tool for him, I feel like I've contributed a little bit.\" The big screen adaptation of Stevenson's 2014 memoir - Just Mercy: A Story of Justice and Redemption - is directed by Destin Daniel Cretton and also stars Oscar winners Jamie Foxx and Brie Larson. The film sees Foxx play Walter McMillan, a man imprisoned after being accused of the murder of a young white woman, despite evidence which proved his innocence. He is placed on death row a year before he has actually been put on trial, and is one of the inmates whose case is taken on by Stevenson. More from Toronto \"Being from the south, having gone through certain things myself gives me the DNA of what this is about,\" Foxx said on the red carpet. But, he stressed: \"They tested the movie with an all-black audience and it tested at 97 [out of 100], and then they tested it with an all-white audience and it tested at 98. So it lets you know people are ready to see it and feel it.\" Stevenson told BBC News: \"I think we've heard the data, we've heard the statistics, but we haven't really understood what it means to be the nation with the highest rate of incarceration in the world. To be a nation that condemns people wrongly and unfairly. \"It's only when you see what happens up close, the trauma, the abuse, that I think you're motivated to demand change. \"I'm really hoping the film mobilises people, energises people, encourages people to expect more from our systems of justice, that too often treat you better if you're rich and guilty than if you're poor and innocent. I'm hoping the film will wake people up to that reality.\" The lawyer and author joked: \"I told Michael B Jordan he could keep his Black Panther body when he played me, I didn't want him going on a diet or anything!\" Jordan admitted: \"Four years ago, when I first got approached for the project, I didn't know that much about the work he was doing down in Alabama. So I took that as a personal challenge.\" The actor is well known for portraying Erik Killmonger in Black Panther - the hugely successful Marvel movie which also starred Chadwick Boseman and Lupita Nyong'o. Jordan has also starred in Creed and That Awkward Moment. Just Mercy received broadly positive early reviews after its Canadian debut on Friday night, with several critics making reference to its potential in awards season. \"In what is already shaping up to be a fierce competition in the lead and supporting male acting categories, Jordan and Foxx just entered the race,\" said Marc Malkin in Variety. \"A couple of Foxx's scenes are transfixing enough to make you hold your breath without realising it,\" added John DeFoe in The Hollywood Reporter. But, he said: \"The big courtroom moments the film constructs for Stevenson, by contrast, sound like prepackaged American idealism. That's not to deny that every thing he says is 100% true; but speeches don't always make for great movies, even in courtrooms where they beg to be delivered.\" Writing in IndieWire, Eric Kohn said the film's main storyline \"doesn't contain nearly enough twists to justify the 136-minute runtime, especially given how many of its circumstances are predetermined\". He concluded: \"It may not be groundbreaking cinema - but as a celebration of what it takes to eke out justice in a broken system, it's a welcome return to formula.\"",

            "input": "By Kevin PeacheyPersonal finance reporter, BBC News So, will the truth hurt the finances of individuals and small businesses, or will it allow them to stretch their income even further? Very few giveaways were expected, owing to the state of the economy and the continuing programme of austerity. Yet, the chancellor made an eye-catching announcement or two on pensions and savings in the year before a general election for noisy MPs in the Commons and the country as a whole to mull over. Which change will affect people the most? The personal allowance is the first chunk of income that individuals can earn before they pay tax. The threshold has been rising steadily during the tenure of the coalition government, and Mr Osborne previously announced that it would rise to £10,000 in April. Now, he has said that the personal allowance will go up further to £10,500 in 2015-16. That will mean more of the low-paid being free of the income tax burden, and will reduce the bill for many more. A basic rate taxpayer will see a saving of about £112 in 2014-15 and a further £100 in 2015-16 on their annual income tax bill. But it will cost the Treasury £1.4bn in 2015-16, rising to £1.89bn in 2018-19. In recent years, the number of people who pay the higher rate of income tax has grown. Higher earners are dragged into the higher rate of tax as their earnings go up, but the threshold at which the higher rate is paid does not go up as fast. In 2015-16, the threshold for the higher rate will go up pretty much in line with the personal allowance, but this trend may well carry on. It is also worth remembering that millions of pensioners saw their personal allowance frozen in a change announced in the Budget in 2012, so they will not benefit from the latest rise. Meanwhile, for those who can pay tax, but repeatedly fail to do so, the chancellor will give powers to HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) to raid their accounts to recoup the tax due. Have pensioners won or lost out? The chancellor announced some massive changes to the world of pensions. At the moment, anyone who saves a decent sum into a defined contribution pension - one where your pension depends on how much your savings are worth - usually has to buy an annuity with their lump sum, or face a hefty penalty. An annuity is effectively a bond which provides a retirement income for the rest of your life. Mr Osborne announced a plan for a new law that will get rid of the requirement to buy an annuity entirely. Instead, people will be able to take the lump sum as cash and organise their own spending. But what that means is that pensioners who take the cash option are likely to pay income tax earlier than they would have done with an annuity. If they take a big lump sum all at once, they could even find themselves paying the higher rate of income tax. Evidence of this can be found in the Budget documents, which show the change announced by the chancellor will bring the Treasury £320m in 2015-16, rising to £1.2bn in 2018-19. It is not projected to cost the Treasury money until 2031. To help pensioners make these choices, they will be able to access free advice. The pensions industry, which has not always had the best reputation, will undergo an enormous overhaul as a result. The annuities market was recently described as \"disorderly\" by the City watchdog. It is important to note that anyone who already receives an annuity will not be able to change that existing arrangement under these planned new rules. It may be a bit of a stereotype to suggest that many pensioners enjoy a game of bingo. Still, the chancellor, while rising the duty on fixed-odds betting machines, will halve the duty on bingo from 20% to 10%. As well as spending, pensioners will be able to save in a special bond for over-65s, starting in January, with an interest rate of about 2.8% for a one-year bond, or 4% for three years. The precise rates will be announced in the autumn, but are likely to be more generous than many savings rates. Indeed, savers have had it tough. What help is there for them? Savers have been incandescent over the poor returns they have seen amid five years of record low interest rates, with the Bank rate at 0.5%. So the chancellor has announced big changes to the Individual Savings Account (Isa), meaning that they can now save more tax-free. In April, the limit that could be saved annually was rising to £11,880, with only half allowed to be saved in cash. However, the new policy means, from July, it will be possible to save £15,000 in total in cash any mix of cash or stocks and shares. Isas are also going to be more flexible, so money in stocks-and-shares Isas can be switched to cash Isas. The chancellor has also followed through on a long-term promise to abolish the 10p starting rate of tax on income from savings. Any plans for family finances? Family finances are likely to be a key political battleground at the general election. So, in the run-up to the Budget, the government said that working families would get more of a subsidy for childcare costs. Parents paying 80% of childcare costs of up to £10,000 per child, aged up to 12, to a registered provider will get the remaining 20% from the government tax-free from September next year. Families trying to get on the property ladder have also been seeing prices rise, partly owing to a lack of new homes being built. Another pre-announced plan was the extension of one element of the Help to Buy scheme for four more years to 2020. This offers an equity loan for people buying a new home in England for less than £600,000. This was joined by other measures to encourage the building of homes. Yet, those who use a company to buy residential homes for more than £500,000 will face a 15% stamp duty charge. Previously this was charged only on homes bought for more than £2m. Sometimes, celebrities use this tactic to keep their property purchases anonymous. In addition, the chancellor says that a change to green taxes on energy will save the average family £15 on their annual energy bill, although this is a tiny proportion of a typical dual-fuel bill. What news on booze? The chancellor announced, with a smile and a glass of water at his side, that a penny of duty will be cut from beer prices. Other alcohol taxes will rise with inflation, with exemptions for Scottish whisky, a big UK export, and ordinary cider, the suppliers of which were hit by the poor weather. Tobacco duty will rise by 2% above inflation, as previously announced.",

            "input": "By Laura McAllisterProfessor of Public Policy, Cardiff University It's been a low-key campaign which has scarcely dazzled, yet the results on Friday feel more significant than ever. The Members of the Senedd - or MSs - elected will serve in a proper parliament with law-making and tax setting powers. Added excitement comes from the very tight margins that will decide at least a quarter of the constituency seats and several regional list seats. Small shifts in votes could determine the distribution of seats to parties and therefore the shape of our next Welsh government. The Covid election So, the final results are unpredictable, dependent as they are on several important unknowns. First, this is a Covid election - both practically and policy wise. We are edging out of lockdown, but with gargantuan recovery problems ahead. Most of us had imagined a dramatically different political landscape for Senedd 2021, framed by post-Brexit adaptation not a pandemic. Wales' 'dirty little secret' Then there's turnout: I called devolution Wales' 'dirty little secret' as no election has generated a turnout of above 50%, impacting on Senedd credibility and legitimacy. It should be higher this time, but who knows as we ease out of lockdown restrictions. It's also less about the raw percentage figure and more about who actually goes out to vote that matters - this time more than ever, with such small margins deciding many seats. Whilst the overall votes are likely to be split relatively evenly between the three big parties, Wales's semi-hybrid - and increasingly dysfunctional - electoral system benefits the largest party whilst offering opportunities for the smaller parties on the regional list. Any chance of a majority government? Attention will be on whether Welsh Labour can win an overall majority (and no party's ever achieved this) or has to govern alongside Plaid Cymru, with or without a formal coalition. What about the other 'c's - credibility and the constitution? The BBC Leaders' Debate last week was not a dial shifter, but it did expose parties on the campaigning front and back foot. Voters will also have been able to judge the credibility of the main contenders for first minister. Welsh Labour's campaigning has been all about packing its defence and playing up its sure footed Covid handling. The party's had least need to adapt, keeping the push on its track record of delivery, competence and trust. Labour has been in power for all of devolution's 22 years and the most (small 'c') conservative and successful political party in Wales (there's a lesson there) is running on a platform of carrying on with what it's doing. It has been helped by the fact that Mark Drakeford has become an electoral asset, newly recognised and mostly popular, an avuncular \"safe pair of hands\". Amongst the Welsh-identifying, centre-left part of the electorate, Covid handling is not a particularly promising route to criticise the Labour government. How are the challengers looking? Bluntly, this impacts Plaid Cymru most. Plaid's intention to make the case for the removal of Mark Drakeford was wrecked by Covid. Voters appear ensconced in national identity \"tribes\" with limited crossover between them. Welsh Labour and Plaid currently share the same tribal identity - but Labour is clearly dominant. Plaid's planned presidential campaign had its charismatic leader, Adam Price front and centre but its hopes of replacing Welsh Labour à la SNP were shattered by the way Welsh public opinion realigned over Covid. 'Small margins' It's fair to say that Welsh Labour has ridden its luck in Senedd elections, not least in 2016 when it clung on to many seats in what became known as the 'Red Wall' - often by very small margins, a good way of describing this is as a very efficient votes to seats won ratio! This time, seats like Llanelli, Wrexham, Brecon and Radnorshire, Gower, Delyn, Rhondda, Vale of Clwyd, Caerphilly and Vale of Glamorgan are all interesting for different reasons. Still, due to the inbuilt compensatory mechanism of our electoral system, Labour would have to lose several constituency seats in the south, including some in the valleys to Plaid, not to be the largest party on 7 May. The problem for the Tories is that it's not as straightforward as getting out the half a million Welsh voters who supported them in 2019. That was a UK election, all about getting Brexit done - and \"done\" it is in most people's minds. We know that many in the 'Red Wall' were not necessarily natural Tories and there's long been plenty of voter mobility in Wales. Andrew RT Davies' populist style might well capture some of UKIP's sizeable vote last time around, but that might be too dispersed to help the Welsh Conservatives win many of their targets. Before recent events at Downing Street, the Welsh Conservatives were in bullish mood. They will still likely make some seat gains but what currency will these have given Davies has effectively ruled out all feasible routes to governing? Still, winning some of its plausible Labour-held targets would probably seal the results day narrative and surely be noticed at UK level given the potential implications for both Johnson and Starmer. Any realistic coalitions? Despite plenty of interest in the topic from media far and wide, this is not an independence election. Nevertheless, strong support for independence amongst young voters - especially with 16- and 17-year-olds now on the electoral roll - and amongst Labour supporters might prove critical if a mandate for Indy Ref 2 is delivered in Scotland. If Plaid plays the long game, this could prove significant. Adam Price ruled out most realistic coalitions early doors, but his party's best hope now is for a last-minute surge in support in a couple of key constituencies, along with picking up a couple of extra regional list seats. If Labour doesn't manage to ride its luck twice - and its 2016 results represent a high bar after all- this would mean some fascinating negotiations over the shape of our next government.",

In the event of a successful claim, payments will go towards counselling and medical bills. The policies will be sold to institutions, not individuals. Until now, the company says, it has been difficult for victims to get compensation, even when complaints have been widely reported against perpetrators. The new insurance policies are linked to a campaign launched by South Korean President Park Geun-hye, to root out the four social problems. Analysts say that South Korea's rapid economic rise has led to new social pressures, along with high rates of depression and suicide. Hyundai Insurance says it does not expect to make a profit from the new scheme. \"This is for the public good\" a spokesman said, \"and we're expecting a lot of claims\".

The combined force of the weapons doubled that of the bomb dropped on the Japanese city of Hiroshima in World War Two. In archive video footage, British and Australian soldiers can be seen looking on, wearing short sleeves and shorts and doing little to protect themselves other than turning their backs and covering their eyes with their hands. Some reported the flashes of the blasts being so bright that they could see the bones of their fingers, like x-rays as they pressed against their faces. Much has been written about the health problems suffered by the servicemen as a result of radiation poisoning. Far less well-documented is the plight of the Aboriginal people who were living close to Maralinga at the time. 'It was like a cancer' \"Every night I cry for them,\" Hilary Williams tells me as she sits around a campfire for an impromptu picnic of kangaroo tails laid on for our visit. Her mother and grandparents all witnessed at least one of the explosions from just a few kilometres away. Ms Williams said all three of them died young after suffering lung problems. \"It's so sad. They're not here anymore,\" she said, adding that she had heart problems she believes were also linked to the bombs. Locals around Maralinga spoke about a black mist of radioactive dust over their communities following the explosions. \"A lot of people got sick and died,\" said Mima Smart, an aboriginal community leader. \"It was like a cancer on them. People were having lung disease, liver problems, and kidney problems. A lot of them died,\" she said, adding that communities around Maralinga have been paid little by way of compensation. 'Not in our backyard' Maralinga was chosen for its remoteness. It's a ten hour drive to the nearest big city, Adelaide. But people here say that the Australian government was wrong to let the tests go ahead and that Britain acted irresponsibly. \"They didn't want to do it in their own back yard because their back yard wasn't big enough,\" said Robin Matthews, caretaker of the Maralinga Nuclear Test Site. \"They thought they'd pick a supposedly uninhabited spot out in the Australian desert. Only they got it wrong. There were people here.\" During the 1960s and 70s, there were several large clean-up operations to try and decontaminate the site. All the test buildings and equipment were destroyed and buried. Large areas of the surface around the blast sites was also scraped up and buried. But Mr Matthews said the clean-up, as well as the tests themselves, were done very much behind closed doors with a high level of secrecy. \"You've got to remember that this was during the height of the Cold War. The British were terrified that Russian spies might try and access the site,\" he said. The indigenous communities say many locals involved in the clean-up operation also got sick. 'Sick land' Maralinga has long been declared safe. There are even plans to open up the site to tourism. But it was only a few months ago that the last of the land was finally handed back to the Aboriginal people. Most, though, say they have no desire to return there. Mima Smart told me she regards Maralinga as sick land. \"I don't want to go back. Too many bad memories.\" And even almost 60 years on, the land still hasn't recovered. Huge concrete plinths mark the spots where each of the bombs was detonated. Around each, the blast area would have stretched for several kilometres. The orangey red soil of the outback sparkles strangely green. If you look closely, you can see the ground is covered with what looks like broken glass, where the soil got so hot it literally melted and turned to silicon. And even after all this time, the natural vegetation still won't grow back. \"The grass here only ever grows a few inches,\" said Mr Matthews. \"Even the birds and the kangaroos still stay clear of this area.\" More than half a century on, most people here still regard Maralinga as a dark chapter in British Australian history",

            "input": "By Daniel DaviesBBC Wales Social Affairs Correspondent According to Public Health Wales figures, at least 983 people to date have died with Covid-19 in Wales. While the Office for National Statistics - which counts deaths at home, in care homes and in hospices, not just hospitals - had already put the figure at over 1,000 by 28 April. BBC Wales' Social Affairs Correspondent Daniel Davies looks at whether the country's 'excess deaths' figures could help show the true extent of the pandemic. The true extent of Covid-19 deaths will be higher than the daily tally of lives lost in hospitals. Victims of the virus might not have been tested to confirm they had it, especially those who die at home or in a care home. That is why it is worth paying attention to how many more people have died - from all causes - than we would normally expect. Increases in deaths above the average for the last five years are known as 'excess deaths' - and they have risen sharply. It is a traditional indicator of the severity of pandemics, as well as other dangerous events such as heatwaves and harsh winters. The figures Office from the National Statistics (ONS) look at all registered deaths, including people who died in the community, not just in hospital. Wales and England saw an unprecedented increase in deaths in the week ending 17 April. In Wales, 1,169 people died - that's 77% higher than the five-year average of 661. But the overall increase is greater than the 409 deaths where Covid-19 was a factor. Causes of death are given by a doctor who completes a medical certificate of cause of death (MCCD). The rules on completing them have been relaxed, so doctors don't have to spend so much time away from patients during the pandemic. \"With the practice of death certification, a lot of clinical judgement necessarily comes into play,\" said Dr Roland Salmon, a former director of Public Health Wales' communicable disease surveillance centre. \"Is it caused by the disease that's circulating? Is it caused by another disease that an elderly person might have? Is it caused by some other circumstances?\" In some cases people may not have obvious symptoms or the doctor may not be convinced Covid-19 was a factor. \"There's always this element of judgement that necessarily comes in just to reflect the way that doctors have to practice,\" Dr Salmon said. The \"latitude\" that doctors have, as Dr Salmon puts it, could help explain why excess deaths are higher than the death toll directly attributed to Covid-19. Even where coronavirus has played a role, a doctor completing the certificate might not feel it was the main cause. Some deaths could be recorded as being due to pneumonia or other lung conditions. High levels of excess deaths could also be a sign that people are missing out on healthcare as a result of the pandemic.

Enter a full UK postcode or council name to find out A similar picture has emerged across Europe. Deaths have shot up in many countries recently. At the start of the outbreak, the NHS's worst-case scenario for coronavirus estimated it could cause up to 35,000 excess deaths in Wales - more than double the number of deaths in a normal year. Dr Salmon said we could have a better idea of how we are faring in June. Meanwhile, the daily updates on what is happening in hospitals help us understand the spread of the disease - and will be crucial in determining when to lift the lockdown. But it will be some time before we get a full picture of how severe coronavirus has been and just how many people have died while it has been circulating.",

The phrase \"George Davis is Innocent OK\" began appearing around the east end of London, where he'd grown up, before ending up on motorway bridges on the M1 and elsewhere. His sentence was remitted two years later by Royal Prerogative, but he was later jailed for a separate armed robbery. Mail on Sunday legal affairs editor Robert Verkaik says the graffiti campaign meant he was never forgotten. \"It had very little impact on his case, but it kept his campaign alive.\" The use of the word \"OK\" now reads strangely but was common in graffiti culture of the time, he says. The phrase endured and allowed him to rise above the average criminal. \"It was an odd phenomenon given that he's a bank robber and basically an East End villain,\" says Verkaik. \"It's amazing that nearly 40 years later people know who he is. It may be the original viral protest campaign.\" The 2004 Hunting Act, which banned fox and stag hunting and hare coursing, was always controversial. So were the tactics used by some of those who were against it. Hunt militants started a campaign of civil disobedience, including blockading motorways and daubing graffiti on motorway bridges, road signs and roundabouts. Slogans included \"Rural Rebellion\" and \"Free Country\".. A group calling itself the Real Countryside Alliance (RCA) claimed it was responsible for the action. Many hunt supporters were not in favour, with the Countryside Alliance distancing itself from the action. Things went too far for many people when the RCA painted a rider in full hunt regalia on a white horse at Kilburn in North Yorkshire, which dates from 1837. It also painted three white hounds and a rider on the Bronze Age white horse at Uffington in Oxfordshire. In the mid 1980s three words suddenly appeared on walls and bridges in Manchester - The Stone Roses. The new band were struggling for attention, says John Robb, a music writer but in those days part of a band, the Membranes, who shared rehearsal space with the Stone Roses. \"Reni [the drummer] said he saw our name everywhere. I told him that in the days of punk you self-publicised, you put up your name everywhere. He thought that was amazing.\" A week later the graffiti appeared. It was sprayed in black every 50 yards on the road between Didsbury and Manchester city centre. Rumour has it lead singer Ian Brown and Reni were responsible. \"It could have been a coincidence, or the roadies or the band who did it,\" says Robb. \"It got them local notoriety - the music industry inner circle thought they were hooligans. But it started people talking about them and that's one thing you want as a band. And the Roses broke through in the end.\" At one point it was reportedly plastered over 150 motorway and road bridges, causing much head scratching among drivers trying to work out what it meant. Gouranga even spawned its own game, much like the Eddie Stobart lorry-spotting one. The word began to appear in the 1980s and is thought to derive from the Hare Krishna term Gauranga, meaning \"peace my brother\" or \"be happy\" - depending on translation. It became so well known that the word started to appear elsewhere. Indie band Half Man Half Biscuit's song Twydale's Lament contains the line: \"Gouranga Gouranga, yes I'll be happy when you've been arrested for defacing the bridge.\" The phrase also features on the video game Grand Theft Auto. It's never been confirmed who did the graffiti, but one man claimed to be the instigator on the Guardian's Notes & Queries webpage. \"I began in the north west in the late 80s,\" he wrote. \"Gouranga is a state of mind that can be induced by simply saying the word. I was prompted to begin my campaign following a tragic loss of a loved one from which I thought I would never recover. Of course I did, and ever since I have wanted to 'pass it on'. Pass it on.\" The campaign group Fathers 4 Justice has used motorway gantry banners to raise awareness. In one case in 2009, Geoffrey Hibbert climbed onto a gantry on the M25 dressed as batman and proceeded to unfurl a series of banners. Police shut a section of the motorway, leading to long tailbacks. Fathers 4 Justice founder Matt O'Connor says the motorway tactic - inspired by the fuel protests - are an easy way to get publicity. He estimates that 15,000 drivers spotted the banner and a further four or five million saw the story in the media. The tactic is divisive, but he says it's a price worth paying. \"Some people will hoot in support, others are annoyed. But we think it's worth taking the hit for the greater good.\" For drivers on the M25, they know they're between junction 16 and 17 in Buckinghamshire when they spot the seemingly random message \"GIVE PEAS A CHANCE\" on a motorway bridge. The person who did it chose a historic bridge. Built between 1902 and 1906, it is the only Edwardian brick bridge on the M25. A historic building report done by Oxford Archaeology says the slogan was painted in two stages. Firstly \"PEAS\" appeared, then \"GIVE\" and \"A CHANCE\" were added later. It says \"PEAS\" is the tag of a London graffiti artist and his tag can been seen in many other locations, particularly on bridges. The additional text changing the graffiti to read \"GIVE PEAS A CHANCE\" is thought to refer to his continual arrests. The north facing side of the bridge also has some graffiti, saying just \"PEAS06\". \"The common misinterpretation of the inscription makes the bridge an interesting landmark to users of the M25,\" says the report.",

A government spokesman said the outcome was binding \"politically and legally\", but the opposition said the government did not have the support it needed. Mr Orban urged EU policymakers to take note of the result and said he would change Hungary's constitution to make the decision binding. The controversial EU plan to relocate 160,000 migrants across the bloc would mean Hungary receiving 1,294 asylum seekers. Ferenc Gyurcsany, leader of the opposition Democratic Coalition, said the low turnout showed that most people did not support the government. \"According to this result with such low turnout, the people do not support the government. And this is good.\" There were 220,000 spoilt ballots. The number rejecting the EU scheme was 3.3 million, while 55,000 backed it. But a government spokesman said the result could not be regarded as invalid. \"The government initiated the referendum, so both politically and legally the outcome is binding,\" he said. \"The 50% would have made a difference because parliament could have no alternative but to make a decision. But parliament is behind the government regarding the decision. This is a reinforced mandate for the government.\" Analysis - BBC News Europe editor, Katya Adler The referendum result is both a crushing defeat and an emphatic victory for Hungary's prime minister. On the one hand, Viktor Orban led a prominent, expensive and relentless anti-EU and anti-migrant referendum campaign but failed to persuade most Hungarians to vote. On the other hand, those who did vote sided with him almost unanimously, allowing him to trumpet that a higher percentage of Hungarians voted against EU migrant quotas than voted for EU membership 13 years ago. Mr Orban says he is leading what he calls a counter-revolution against EU centralisation, a pushback against Brussels bossiness. He views himself as the man of the moment, speaking for the people of Europe. He had hoped other countries would follow suit and hold their own referendum on migrant quotas. In fact other EU countries are simply ignoring the quotas. What Hungary's prime minister is not calling for is \"Huxit\" - a Hungarian exit from the EU. Mr Orban is all too aware the his economy relies on EU subsidies. During last year's migrant crisis, Hungary became a transit state on the Western Balkan route to Germany and other EU destinations. In an effort to curb the influx, it sealed its border with Serbia and Croatia. The measure was popular at home but criticised by human rights groups. Voters were asked: \"Do you want the European Union to be able to mandate the obligatory resettlement of non-Hungarian citizens into Hungary even without the approval of the National Assembly?\" The EU proposal was meant to ease pressure on Greece and Italy, the main entry points for migrants and refugees into the bloc. In December Hungary filed a court challenge against the EU plan, which would see relocations over two years.",

Then, the prime beneficiaries were the local and foreign oil barons. These days, a new Azeri upper crust has most to gain from Azerbaijan's fortune. The government controls the prices of most energy products and owns key enterprises. In its 2009 corruption perceptions index Transparency International placed Azerbaijan at 143 out of 180 countries. But it is the widening gap between rich and poor which is the most obvious result of the new energy boom. The rich businessmen who preside over the city live in polished stone and marble mansions nestled among Soviet-era concrete blocks. The Azeri elite keep themselves to themselves, but most people know who they are. The Minister for Emergency Situations, Kamaladdin Heydarov, Transport Minister Ziya Mammadov and the president's security chief are the wealthiest and most powerful in the governing elite, according to some analysts. The glamorous first lady of Azerbaijan, Mehriban Aliyeva, is a known sponsor of major cultural projects and elite tourism ventures in Baku. Hunting for information However, the precise wealth of these powerful Azeris is not known. The BBC made contact by letter with the offices of each of them, but did not receive a reply. I did get through to the son of the Emergencies Minister, Tale Heydarov. His official title is president of Gabala Football Club, the very same one where Tony Adams, the former England and Arsenal star, has signed a lucrative contract as coach. But Mr Heydarov's personal fortune is cloaked in mystery. His powerful family is believed to run a huge company called Gilan - which owns the football club - although he prefers to keep the exact details quiet. As he sits in a large office with plush carpets, marble lamps, four telephones and a large desk, I ask him whether the widening wealth gap and talk of corruption is a problem. \"As a normal citizen, I can say that any country faces challenges [after its] independence. We are a very new and independent country and among the ex-Soviet countries, Azerbaijan is one of the most developed,\" he says. Corruption questions Investors - particularly in construction - also appear to be reaping handsome profits while the energy boom lasts. Baku-based Turkish businessman Yavuz Keles, director of Tusiab - a construction company based in Baku with $3bn (£2.1bn) of assets - says corruption is not unique to Azerbaijan. \"It is a regional problem,\" he says. \"Officials are already talking about the problem, that is a start.\" A feature of this boom is the concentration of oil revenue in the hands of the political elite, one local expert says. \"Azerbaijan's oil is monopolised by the state, so of course the state benefits,\" says Ilham Saban, an analyst at Turan news agency. \"The spending of oil money is only done with the approval of the president.\" The situation is unlikely to change in the very near future. President Ilham Aliyev's second five-year term is due to expire in 2013, but a referendum in 2009 made it possible for him to run for office as many times as he wants. Critics say this will allow him to preside over Azerbaijan's oil production as it reaches its peak. With new explorations being launched in the Caspian Sea by BP and others, the expected decline in production might yet be postponed. Recently, the Washington Post reported that nine waterfront mansions in Dubai, worth a total of $44m, were purchased in the name of President Aliyev's 11-year-old son. A senior official, Ali Hasanov, would not answer questions about the story when he was contacted by the BBC in March by phone. But, later, to local media, he did not deny it. \"Every person may possess anything. This is normal as long as he gets it within law and the constitution,\" he told the Azeri newspaper, Yeni Musavat. Them and us Outside Baku, there are signs of widespread unemployment and poverty. The way Azerbaijan spends its money is frowned upon by Western governments. A Baku taxi driver, calling himself Farhad, drove me towards villages just 20km (12.4 miles) from the capital which have limited gas and water supplies. \"The rich rule society and that means we don't have access to the same parts of the city as they do. They drive the four-by-four cars and have access to big social events. We don't,\" he says. The divide is as clear-cut as the glass-and-metal skyline of booming Baku.",

But by March 2019, the company had lost £34.4m despite large loans from the authority, external auditors Grant Thornton said. The leader of the council admitted there were failings in its governance. It comes as the council faces the impact of the coronavirus crisis, with 150 job cuts and the closure of a day centre for people with disabilities proposed last month in a bid to save £12.5m. The leader of the opposition called for the immediate resignation of a number of senior councillors over the council's \"financial incompetence\". 'Institutional blindness' The report criticised the authority for how it handled the company, into which it has invested £43m of public cash and provided £16.5m of guarantees. It said setting it up was \"hugely ambitious\" and the risks were not \"sufficiently appreciated\". The company had grown rapidly, with a turnover of almost £100m in the year 2018-19, but has made losses every year. The auditors said it has had to rely on help from the city's finances to keep going, although they recognised if the company had failed, it could have at one point cost the council up to £47.4m. They said despite the company's deteriorating financial position, the authority had \"only very recently\" moved away from \"a determination to continue at any cost\". The report said this meant the council had \"significantly depleted its useable reserves\" to support services. It accused the council of \"institutional blindness\" to the risks, adding: \"This is not how local authorities should look after large amounts of public money.\" It recommended the future of the company be determined as a matter of urgency. David Mellen, leader of the Labour-run council, said they had the \"best intentions\" when they set it up in a bid to tackle fuel poverty. He said there had been changes in leadership at both the council and the company, and new measures were being introduced.

            "input": "By Clare LissamanBBC News As a midwife on the labour ward of the inner-city Heartlands Hospital in Birmingham, Alison Byrne has seen a lot. But she was unprepared for treating mothers-to-be who had undergone FGM. In 2002, following an influx of Somali immigrants to the city, the hospital began seeing pregnant woman who had lost most of their external genitalia to extreme cutting. The women had undergone the procedure - defined by the World Health Organisation (WHO) as \"type three\" FGM - mainly as young girls in Somalia, where the cultural tradition dates back thousands of years. But although she is an experienced health professional, Ms Byrne told BBC News she was still shocked when she first encountered FGM. \"I still am, that hasn't gone, absolutely shocked,\" she said. \"Mortified really, when you hear the stories, devastated for the women. It's just dreadful.\" The procedure can lead to a range of health problems and make sexual intercourse and childbirth agonising for women. \"With type three, the baby will not deliver vaginally because the opening is so small due to scar tissue and the damage that's been done,\" she added. Ms Byrne said \"no one knew what to do\" when women with FGM first starting using maternity services at the hospital in Bordesley Green. But as the number of women - and different communities they came from - increased, Ms Byrne and another midwife pushed for a new specialist service to help them. 20,000 'at risk' In 2003, the new African Well Women's Service saw 109 women with FGM. By 2012, this number had more than tripled to about 330. Ms Byrne says the increase is a direct result of the type of communities settling in that part of Birmingham. The clinic now mainly sees women from Somalia, Sudan, the Gambia and Eritrea. The specialist midwife is among a number of experts who welcomed the long-running BBC medical drama's portrayal of FGM. The programme featured a pregnant woman and her teenage daughter both suffering pain and complications as a result of it. \"You just need to get the word out there,\" said Ms Byrne who believes \"education and awareness\" is the way forward, particularly among affected communities as well as of medical students, midwives and in schools. All of the women seen at the clinic underwent FGM before their arrival in the UK, but Ms Byrne does fear for the girls born into cultures where it is practised. Although FGM, or taking someone abroad for the procedure, is illegal in the UK, research by Forward (Foundation for Women's Health Research and Development) found more than 20,000 girls in England and Wales were at risk. After Casualty's Unsilenced episode aired, West Midlands Police revealed it had looked into 24 reports of FGM last year. The force, which has already looked into 10 allegations of FGM this year, had no reports of FGM in 2002 and 2003. It said officers \"thoroughly investigate all allegations of FGM\" and raise awareness of the practice through communities and professionals in order to protect potential victims. No-one in the UK has ever been prosecuted under laws introduced in the mid-1980s. Ms Byrne said FGM was a \"very deeply-rooted cultural tradition\" carried out as a result of beliefs, such as to stop infidelity and promiscuity or increase a woman's \"marriageability\". The World Health Organisation defines it in a similar way. The age it is carried out and what is done varies between communities, Ms Byrne said. Some women at the clinic were cut at just seven days old. She said the procedure, often done without anaesthetic in non-sterile conditions, leads to one in 10 girls dying from blood loss, septicaemia or other complications. 'Many myths' Through the clinic, women who have been sewn up can undergo a surgical reversal called deinfibulation, allowing a normal birth and urination. They can also receive counselling as many are left traumatised by the procedure carried out without their consent as children. \"Even before anything has been done it is the fact the child has been led away,\" Ms Byrne said. \"You can imagine the psychological implications. Sometimes they might be blindfolded.\" Naana Otoo-Oyortey, Forward's executive director, said a shortage of evidence and data made it \"very difficult to answer\" where the procedure was happening in the UK and whether or not it was increasing. While the number of communities where FGM was practised had increased in the UK, it was impossible to say how many people would still feel under pressure to continue it, she said. The lack of evidence also made it extremely difficult to prosecute, she told BBC News. \"There's a lot silence from the communities. But it is abuse and should be stopped,\" she said.",

ASOS told Radio 1 Newsbeat this has \"created panic and hysteria in an already uncertain time\" about working conditions in its Barnsley warehouse. The site employs up to 3,500 people, of which 500 can be on-site at any time. The union had carried out a survey which suggested the majority of staff felt unsafe at work as they were working too close to one another. The site is a distribution centre for the online clothing store and is on the list of government exemptions that can stay open during the current shop closures. One ASOS employee told Newsbeat they were \"frightened for their families as well as themselves\" because workers in the warehouse aren't able to keep two metres apart, as instructed by the government's social-distancing measures. 'Additional health and safety measures' 'Mike', who didn't want to give his real name, worries that people are at risk. \"They don't want to be taking the virus home and passing it on,\" he says. But in statement an ASOS spokesperson rejected claims that staff are unsafe. \"Since the lockdown, we have introduced a range of additional health and safety measures and the Environmental Health Officer, who visited the site on Friday, confirmed he was happy with the protocols we have in place,\" it says in a statement. The government says that businesses and workplaces should encourage their employees to work at home, wherever possible, and has advised people to stay two metres away from other people at all times during the coronavirus outbreak. \"Trying to stay two metres, it's really hard, because working patterns haven't been changed to protect workers,\" Mike says. \"When workers are packing items it's only about three feet, if that, away from each other, and they're full everyday. \"So it's 150 packers all working on stations next to each other.\" Mike's also concerned that the virus could spread easily among his colleagues because of how they clock-in at the beginning of a shift. \"You might have 50 people all queuing up at turnstiles trying to get into the warehouse to start work,\" he adds. Asos has denied this. It's told Newsbeat it has 90 packers, 3.8 metres away from each other - and that every other packing line has been removed. It adds: \"Marshals (team leaders, health & safety staff and union reps) are there to manage safe flow and implement social distancing as best they can. Shifts are finishing up early to allow staggering of people as they leave the site. \"We've also made changes to the turnstiles. Our indoor turnstiles are permanently open to avoid bottle-necking. \"Employees have to take personal responsibility for following all available guidance, however.\" The GMB union has been encouraging people to sign an open letter to ASOS CEO Nick Beighton to improve the situation. Barnsley Council has also visited the site and said that ASOS is complying with social distancing measures. On a site visit last Friday the council said \"at no point did our officer see any member of staff not in compliance with this\". It is not known when ASOS introduced its new safety measures. The new social distancing measures came into practice on Monday 24 March. Dipo Osikoya, an employment lawyer at Harcus Parker says there is help for people who are worried about their health and safety in the workplace. \"If you are worried about being forced to go to work, or you're worried that your employer is not doing enough to protect your health remember that there is relevant legislation in place,\" he tells Newsbeat. \"The Health and Safety at Work Act says that employers must ensure the safety, health and wellbeing of employees, casual workers and temps whilst at work.

He pledged investment to ensure troubled households get more support, rather than \"shrugging our shoulders\". Mr Duncan Smith is urging businesses, councils and voluntary groups to help support families. The government's Social Justice: Transforming Lives report promises to reverse the \"couple penalty in the welfare system\" and provide relationship support \"acting early to keep families together\". 'Champion' It suggests that \"children tend to enjoy better life outcomes when the same two parents are able to give them support and protection throughout\". The report says 28% of children in lone-parent families live in relative poverty, compared with 17% for those for \"couple families\". It adds: \"The government believes that investing in support to stabilise vulnerable families is the best starting point for tackling disadvantage and poverty. \"We are determined to encourage, protect and support families of all shapes and sizes, and to champion their importance to individual communities and to society more widely. It promises to \"help people move to positions where they can replicate as closely as possible the security provided by a family unit, without being hampered by excessive prescription and bureaucracy\". The government says it wants to see \"more stable families - an increase in the number of families staying together, and conversely a reduction in divorce and separation rates, especially where children are involved\". This will be seen as the clearest indication yet that the government will support traditional households in its policies. 'Severe consequences' Launching the report, Mr Duncan Smith said: \"When families are strong and stable, so are children. \"We know that children raised by parents reporting high relationship quality and satisfaction tend to have higher levels of wellbeing, while intense conflict between parents has been shown to be detrimental to children's outcomes. \"And when families break down, the consequences can be severe. That means we have to get behind stable families, not shrug our shoulders when they fall apart. \"But in recent years government has been sending out the message that stable families don't matter. \"It has cloaked neglect of the family under the veil of neutrality, failing to invest in the prevention of breakdown and introducing rules and institutions - such as the couple penalty in the tax credit system - that made it more worthwhile for couples to live apart than to stay together. \"Today we are sending out a clear message that stable families do matter.\" He added: \"And at the heart of this, it means emphasising the Government's support for marriage - we are clear in this strategy that marriage should be supported and encouraged.\" Mr Duncan Smith announced the setting up of a scheme to stop social breakdown. The \"early intervention foundation\" is expected to involve City firms and local authorities investing in projects. It follows the recommendations of Labour MP Graham Allen, who carried out a review of early intervention in social problems for the coalition. Anne Longfield, chief executive of the charity 4Children, welcomed the announcement, saying: \"We know that the most effective help comes early and should support families to find long-term solutions to their problems.\" Mark Molden, chairman of the Care For The Family charity, welcomed the government's comments, saying: \"Every family is unique and all families experience challenging situations as well as good times but if you had to choose one family set-up that works best for the children involved, research consistently shows that, wherever possible, it is better for children to be raised within the context of a loving family with two parents who are married to one another.\"",

Sinn Féin withdrew its support for the bill on Monday after accusing the DUP of reneging on commitments made in the agreement. Mr Cameron said what mattered was implementing the agreement. \"What matters is now implementing the Stormont agreement, and everyone should do what they signed up to do in that agreement, Sinn Féin included,\" he told the House of Commons. \"I know that the Northern Ireland Secretary is working very hard to try to make sure that everyone fulfils their pledges.\" East Belfast MP Naomi Long from the Alliance Party had asked Mr Cameron if he shared her anger that Sinn Féin was \"reneging\" on promises made as part of the agreement. Northern Ireland Secretary of State Theresa Villiers said Sinn Féin's withdrawal of support for a welfare reform bill was \"unhelpful and hugely disappointing\". She said she hoped to get Northern Ireland party leaders together soon. However, she said the agreement would not be reopened. \"We do need to press ahead with implementation,\" she said.. \"The corporation tax question is difficult. It is expressly linked with resolution of welfare reform. \"The bill contains a commencement clause and there is no question that this welfare question must be resolved, the executive must fulfil its obligations under the Stormont House Agreement, before the commencement could be operated. \"But in the interim the government is proposing to continue with the legislation to complete its parliamentary progress because we are determined to implement the agreement fully and fairly. \"Let me be very clear, Northern Ireland will not get these devolved powers until the Stormont House Agreement is implemented.\" DUP deputy leader Nigel Dodds said Sinn Féin's actions in reneging on the agreement had left people \"stunned, bewildered and indeed angry\". \"It is very clear that Sinn Féin are putting their own narrow self party interest ahead of vulnerable people and the entire community in Northern Ireland,\" he added. 'Huge step backwards' Ms Villiers agreed Sinn Féin's actions were a \"significant surprise, given the enthusiasm with which the Deputy First Minister and Sinn Féin were promoting the agreement\". \"It would be a huge step backwards if the Stormont House Agreement were to be jeopardised and it would plunge us back potentially into the kind of budget and political crisis with which we were grappling last year,\" she said. Shadow Northern Ireland secretary Ivan Lewis said the unravelling of the agreement would be an \"unmitigated disaster\" for economic and political confidence. He asked if Ms Villiers would convene urgent talks to find a way forward and to clarify the deadline date by which the bill must be passed if the executive and not civil servants is to set next year's budget. \"I expect to be meeting with the five party leaders in the coming days, hopefully tomorrow,\" Ms Villiers said. \"It is vital that we see progress on welfare reform. That is a key part of the Stormont House Agreement. \"I will be pressing for that, not least because without this approach the Northern Ireland executive's budget becomes unsustainable which hugely impairs its ability to function effectively.\" Northern Ireland Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness has said £200m would solve problems over welfare reform but the Northern Ireland Secretary has said there will be no extra cash.",

The Momentum Music Fund gives grants of between £5,000 and £15,000 to help develop artists who are based in the UK. Nearly half of the acts who benefitted are BAME (Black, Asian and minority ethnic). The scheme was set up by the PRS Foundation which is a charity that funds new music and talent in the UK alongside the Arts Council England. The grants can be used for anything an emerging artist may need including the cost of touring, equipment, recording or publicity. It says that £13 million has been generated and put back into the music industry by artists doing things like touring and selling albums and merchandise. Years & Years applied for a grant to go on tour before they were signed. \"We were at a point where we'd reached the end of the line in terms of what we could do with our own resources,\" says Martha Kinn, the band's manager. \"We had a real vision. We had a bit of a fan-base forming; they [the band] started to write amazing songs. \"We wanted to keep going independently. I remember the question (in the Momentum form) 'where do you see the band in 3 years time?' We achieved that and more.\" The funding allowed them to go on tour, build their fan base and work on their sound before they got signed by Polydor. Little Simz used her grant to travel to Canada to help build her profile internationally, as well as to help her put out her debut album, A Curious Tale of Trials + Persons, in 2015. \"As an independent artist and label owner the Momentum Music Fund is a major helping hand for myself and my team,\" she says. \"We are working to inspire and to show a new generation of artists from the UK that they can make an impact on a global scale without having to sign to a major record label. \"Funding like this is a huge part of making the journey to the end goal possible.\" It is a similar story for Bugzy Malone. He used the grant to help record and promote his second E.P, Facing Time, which went to No.6 in the UK album charts. \"It offered me a solid foundation and gave me an extra confidence in myself. It made such a difference people backing us,\" he says. There is a huge demand for these grants, £45 million has been requested since 2013 and more than £2.5 million awarded. But Vanessa Reed who is the Chief Executive of PRS Foundation says this is one of the most successful programmes they have ever run. \"I look forward to growing this fund over the next five years with new and existing partners who share our passion for supporting diverse talent and sustainable careers.\" Follow Newsbeat on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter.

That included £34m in a settlement and legal fees with Eurotunnel - which said it was not considered for the contract. The government said it would not be committing to buying extra capacity but would have options to do so if needed. \"The Department for Transport is putting in place a freight capacity framework agreement that will provide government departments with the ability to secure freight capacity for our critical supply chains as and when required,\" a spokesman said. \"This framework does not commit the government to purchasing or reserving any freight capacity, but it does provide a flexible list of operators and options for the provision of the capacity that can be drawn upon if needed.\" The government had previously awarded Seaborne Freight, DFDS and Brittany Ferries contracts worth more than £100m - all of which were eventually cancelled. Transport Secretary Chris Grayling faced calls to resign after he was forced to axe a £13.8m contract with Seaborne Freight, a company with no ships or trading history. All three previous contracts - intended to offer extra capacity and relieve potential congestion at ports like Dover - had been awarded without a full public tender process and prompted legal action from Eurotunnel. The government also had to pay more than £51m to cancel agreements with DFDS and Brittany Ferries when the UK asked the EU for an extension to the withdrawal process meaning it did not leave as planned on 29 March. This time, the Department for Transport is pursuing an open process, inviting bids from all \"suitably qualified freight operators\". Andrew Dean, a former government lawyer who is now director of public law at Clifford Chance, said: \"The department has played a straight bat, having opted to follow a relatively low-risk procurement approach that is open to suppliers from across the EU and beyond.\" BBC business correspondent Joe Miller said that Eurotunnel would be able to bid this time around, as the notice invites applications \"regardless of transport mode\", as long as they offer \"roll-on, roll-off capacity\" for lorries.

'Heartbreaking' loneliness The film uses the format of Aardman's popular Creature Comforts series with dialogue from interviews on the subject of lockdown and living conditions recorded in Bristol, Manchester and London. The animals are not Aardman's usual claymation because of coronavirus restrictions, so the film is made in 2D. Mr Peake, who also designed the characters, said the team called on \"friends and family with interesting voices - people who won't shut up\". \"None of them are actors so what they say is coming from the heart. \"When we heard 89-year-old grandmother Doreen (the voice of the elephant in the circus) talking about being lonely, it was heartbreaking and we couldn't have scripted anything better than that.\" Another character, a mother lemur, is Mr Peake's friend Rosaria who had just moved with her young daughter to the UK from Rio, just before lockdown. \"She was an ideal candidate as she had left wonderful surroundings and was dropped into a really small flat with one window,\" he said. The Born Free Foundation hopes people watching the film will find empathy with the characters.

            "input": "A bill to fund the federal government for the coming weeks did not receive the required 60 votes by the deadline of midnight on Friday. President Trump accused the Democrats of putting politics above the interests of the American people. The Democrats blame him for rejecting bipartisan compromise proposals. Negotiations in both houses of Congress continued on Saturday, Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell said the chamber would be back in session on Sunday to try to end the impasse. The White House budget chief has expressed optimism that a resolution will be found before Monday. But if not, hundreds of thousands of federal workers face the prospect of no work and shuttered offices at the start of the working week. The last government shutdown was in 2013, and lasted for 16 days. Why can the two sides not agree? This is the first time a government shutdown has happened while one party, the Republicans, controls both Congress and the White House. The vote on Friday was 50-49, falling far short of the 60 needed to advance the bill. With a 51-seat majority in the Senate, the Republicans did not have enough seats to pass the bill without some support from the Democrats. They want funding for border security - including the border wall - and immigration reforms, as well as increased military spending. The Democrats have demanded protection from deportation of more than 700,000 undocumented immigrants who entered the US as children. The Republicans added a sweetener in the form of a six-year extension to a health insurance programme for children in lower-income families. But Democrats want this programme extended permanently. Mr Trump accused the Democrats of being \"far more concerned with illegal immigrants than they are with our great military or safety at our dangerous southern border\". But the leading Senate Democrat, Chuck Schumer, blamed the president, saying Mr Trump was under pressure from \"hard-right forces within the administration\". White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders warned: \"The president will not negotiate on immigration reform until Democrats stop playing games and reopen the government.\" This could be a protracted, ugly fight Anthony Zurcher, BBC News, Washington The game of chicken ended with a head-on crash. Republicans are anxious to label this the \"Schumer shutdown\" and, essentially, they're right. Chuck Schumer and his fellow Democrats (with the help of a few Republicans) blocked a bill that would have kept the government open - at least temporarily. Determining responsibility and apportioning blame, however, are two decidedly different endeavours. Democrats will argue that they had a deal with the president on their bipartisan compromise that included immigration reform - only to have him back away during that fateful obscenity-laden Oval Office meeting last week. Republicans will frame this as liberals putting undocumented immigrant protections over military readiness and health insurance for poor kids. The winner of the blame game has yet to be decided. Generally, the loser in these types of showdowns is the party entering the fight with the lowest popularity - bad news for Mr Trump and the Republicans. The good news, for both sides, is that their political bases will be thrilled they are playing hardball. Midterm election years, like 2018, tend to encourage this kind of rally-the-base manoeuvres. Now that the line has been crossed, this could become a protracted, ugly fight. What is a government shutdown? The US budget must be approved by 1 October - the start of the federal financial year. But Congress has often failed to meet this deadline and negotiations continue well into the new year, with the previous year's funding to federal agencies extended on a temporary basis. Because Congress failed to agree an extension that would have maintained government funding through to 16 February, it means many federal agencies effectively closed for business as of 00:01 on Saturday (05:01 GMT). Most staff in the departments of housing, environment, education and commerce will be staying at home on Monday. Half of workers in the treasury, health, defence and transportation departments will also not be going to work. Visa and passport processing could also be delayed, and some national monuments, including New York's Statue of Liberty, have already been closed. But essential services that protect \"life or human property\" will continue, including national security, postal services, air traffic control, inpatient medical services, emergency outpatient medicine, disaster assistance, prisons, taxation and electricity generation. And the Trump administration said it planned to keep national parks open - their closure in the 2013 shutdown provoked an angry public reaction. The shutdown began on the first anniversary of President Trump's inauguration. His trip to the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, next week has also been called into question. What happened during the 2013 shutdown? Many federal employees were forced to take a leave of absence - officially known as being furloughed - during the 16 days of shutdown. At its peak, some 850,000 employees were off work each day. It cost the government $2bn in lost productivity and led to \"significant negative effects on the economy\", the OMB said at the time. Donald Trump, interviewed by Fox and Friends at the time, laid the blame for the shutdown with the then president, Barack Obama. More on Trump's first year",

The power cuts started on Monday and have hit hospitals, public transport, water and other services, worsening a national economic crisis. Mr Maduro blamed the blackouts on sabotage by the opposition and the US. But the opposition argues that two decades of underinvestment and corruption by Venezuela's socialist government as the cause. \"The time has come to agitate in every state, in every community, to get water back, get electricity back, get gas back,\" Mr Guaidó told a rally in the capital Caracas. \"The light has gone out, we cannot remain as passive actors,\" he said. He told supporters the protests would take place on Saturday, but gave no further details. Mr Guaidó said that preparations were being made for a mass mobilisation - dubbed Operation Freedom - to try to force Mr Maduro to step down. The event is intended to culminate in a huge march through Caracas. No date has been set but Mr Guaidó said a rehearsal of the operation would be held on 6 April. He promised to travel across Venezuela to help preparations. Mr Guaidó, the head of the opposition-controlled National Assembly, declared himself interim leader on 23 January, saying Mr Maduro's re-election last May was illegitimate. Blackouts worsen crisis Caracas was first plunged into darkness on Monday. Power was restored four hours later, before a second blackout struck. The government told workers and students to stay at home as the power cuts continued. Power returned to about half the country's 24 states late on Tuesday, only to fail again on Wednesday morning. Earlier this month, a days-long nationwide power cut sparked looting and desperation across the country. \"I think this is going to be worse than the first blackout,\" said Julio Barrios, an accountant in Caracas. \"A lot of people want to work but there's no transportation and if there's nobody working the country will be paralysed,\" Mr Barrios added. Nestor Carreno said he had been forced to close his pizzeria in Caracas because of the cuts. \"Food stocks are starting to rot. There's no water. The transport virtually doesn't work. There's no means of communication,\" he said. The government has said it is battling to restore supplies and blamed the cuts on opposition \"sabotage\" and \"terrorism\", without presenting any evidence for those claims. Trump doesn't rule out military action On Wednesday, US President Donald Trump called on Russia to withdraw military personnel from Venezuela, after two Russian air force planes landed outside Caracas on Saturday. Mr Trump was speaking after a meeting in Washington with Fabiana Rosales, Mr Guaidó's wife. \"Russia has to get out,\" Mr Trump said, adding that \"all options\" were open to ensure it removed its soldiers. The Kremlin has long been an ally of Venezuela, lending the South American nation billions of dollars and backing its oil industry and military. Russia has also strongly opposed US moves to impose sanctions on the Venezuelan government. Meanwhile, the UN appealed to Mr Maduro and Mr Guaidó to end the political wrangling that is keeping humanitarian aid out of the country, the New York Times reported. A confidential report sent to both sides apportioned no blame for Venezuela's crisis but said the lack of aid in the country was significantly worsening the already dire crisis. The government has prevented lorries containing supplies entering Venezuela from the US, Brazil and Colombia. How did we get here? Mr Guaidó and Mr Maduro each claim to be the constitutional president of Venezuela. Shortly after Mr Guaidó declared himself interim leader, his assets were frozen and the nation's Supreme Court, dominated by government loyalists, imposed a travel ban on him. But the 35-year-old opposition leader defied that ban last month when he toured Latin American countries to garner support. Mr Guaidó has continued to call for President Maduro to step aside and urge the security forces, which have mainly been loyal to the government, to switch sides. Mr Guaidó has been recognised as leader by more than 50 countries, including most in Latin America and the US. Mr Maduro, who still has the support of China and Russia, accuses the opposition of being part of a US-orchestrated coup.",

He left his role as Mr Farage's adviser following a bout of infighting in 2015. \"There is so much corruption. There is so much duplicity. There are so many people shaking hands with one another and then knifing them in private. It has to stop,\" he said in a statement. \"I'm clear about what I stand for: a strong, united UKIP, free of the Tory splitters.

He told the BBC he was \"technically still leader of the party\" as Ms James's confirmation forms had not been processed before her sudden resignation. Asked why she had resigned, Mr Farage said he believed it was partly due to a family illness and the \"realisation\" of what the job entailed. \"When you take this job your life finishes. This is what you are 24/7, there is nothing else. I think she looked down the barrel of that and thought, 'This is not how I want to live my life.'\" Ms James, a former businesswoman and healthcare professional, defeated four other contenders - Lisa Duffy, Bill Etheridge, Liz Jones and Phillip Broughton - in the leadership battle. She won 8,451 votes out of the 17,970 votes cast, ahead of Ms Duffy, who received 4,591. Former contender Ms Jones said she was also considering standing again.",

In 2009, there were concerns expressed by the local council, Comhairle nan Eilean Siar, and by island politicians that the range would be shut down. The MoD gave assurances that the future of the site was safe and last year announced plans to invest in the range.

He made the remarks in an interview with the Detroit News last week and was roundly criticised. Nassar has been sentenced to more than 300 years for molesting young gymnasts. The former Olympic doctor was convicted last year on hundreds of counts of abuse at USA Gymnastics and Michigan State University. The head of USA Gymnastics and the president of Michigan State University both resigned in the wake of the scandal. \"There are a lot of people who are touched by this, survivors who haven't been in the spotlight,\" Mr Engler said in the interview with the Detroit News. \"In some ways they have been able to deal with this better than the ones who've been in the spotlight who are still enjoying that moment at times, you know, the awards and recognition,\" he added.

He said that several members of the board had asked him to resign. \"When I arrived I found a university in crisis,\" he wrote. \"Disclosures of sexual abuse by...

The EIS announced plans for a strike ballot on Saturday and now the SSTA's salaries committee is recommending a similar ballot if councils reject a proposed improved offer next week. The Scottish government says it is prepared to fund an improved pay offer but this is short of the 10% rise. It proposes a deal which would see teachers get a 9% rise between January 2018 and this April followed by a 3% rise next year. Councils will decide whether to go ahead with this offer at a meeting next Friday at the council umbrella body Cosla. The general secretary of the SSTA, Seamus Searson, said that if the union held a strike ballot, the timescale would be similar to that planned by the EIS. The EIS plans to ballot in February and could take action in March. Mr Searson said there was a frustration that Cosla seemed reluctant to move to make a new offer as soon as possible. He believed they should do this to show they are serious about trying to end the dispute. The Scottish government told the unions late last week about its proposals for an improved offer and went public with the plan on Saturday. John Swinney, the cabinet secretary for education, said on Saturday that the improved offer was a \"clear indication of our commitment to recruit and retrain teachers\". He urged the unions to put the offer to their members and he added: \"Industrial action is in no one's interests not least our children and young people. That has been my focus and will continue to be until this resolved.\" Cosla represents the shared interests of Scotland's councils and reflects the views of its members - the organisation cannot act unilaterally on an issue such as teachers pay.

The only criteria was that staff were \"client-facing\". This included organisations in the arts sector, community groups, relationship counselling and childcare services. The trust was unable to confirm how many vaccines had been given out to those now ineligible. Department intervention The letter was sent on 21 January. A week later, the trust limited the offer to \"staff working with physiologically vulnerable adults\", for example those with respiratory conditions. The initial policy was reversed after an intervention by the Department of Health. The vaccination programme in Northern Ireland works within the approach agreed across the UK from the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI), which determines the groups that should be prioritised for vaccination, largely based on age and clinical vulnerability. Belfast Trust is responsible for delivering the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine. The first group vaccinated in Northern Ireland was care home staff and residents, then those 80 years old and over. The aim is to have 65 years and over vaccinated by the end of this month. In January, it emerged that back office healthcare staff, such as procurement, IT and accounts were able to register for the vaccine as part of the first phase of the rollout. 'Very hurtful' There has been pressure from some front-line workers to be prioritised for the vaccine, including teachers. Police officers and fire and rescue service staff have yet to be vaccinated. Alliance MLA Paula Bradshaw, who sits on Stormont's health committee, said news of the letter \"will be very hurtful to those who are CEV (Clinically Extremely Vulnerable) and have shielded away from society for the last 11 months and carers (those who have cared for them) - very, very few from either group have been called forward as yet\". She also warned that this approach could lead to \"lobbying for many, many other professions, such as bus drivers, retail workers, especially those who work in shops based in hospitals, those who work in meat processing plants... those workplaces where there is a heightened risk of coming into contact with large numbers of people on a daily basis\". A number of organisations within the community and voluntary sector in Belfast had requested the vaccine for their staff. NICVA, which represents the sector, had asked for voluntary and community sector staff to get the vaccination if people in similar jobs in the public sector were being vaccinated. Gerry Tubritt, from the Ballynafeigh Community Development Association, told The Nolan Show that staff who are on the front line delivering food parcels did receive the vaccine in his organisation. \"It's right and proper that people who are providing front-line grassroots services are offered the vaccine because it protects them and also protects the most vulnerable,\" he said. 'Truly sorry' In a statement, the Belfast Trust said: \"On 21st January 2021 a letter was sent inviting staff working in some community and voluntary sector organisations to book a vaccination appointment. \"Following a review, it was identified that the trust had issued this letter to some organisations in error. \"We contacted the groups involved to clarify that only staff working with physiologically vulnerable adults - for example those with heart or respiratory conditions were invited to come forward to have the Covid-19 vaccine. \"We are truly sorry that this has happened and for any disappointment and frustration this has caused.\" The trust added that all their staff were \"offered the vaccination before the vaccination programme was rolled out to service providers contracted to deliver services in the community and voluntary sector\". Anyone who received the first vaccination in error will still be contacted to receive the second dose within 10 weeks of their first jab.",

But European Commission sources said the government had asked for that date to be extended until 15 October. Nicola Sturgeon had earlier refused to confirm whether an extension was being sought. The subsequent confirmation from the commission led the Scottish Conservatives to accuse Ms Sturgeon of attempting to duck the issue, and claimed it was further evidence of a \"culture of secrecy and denial in the SNP government\". It is understood that the commission is still considering the request for an extension, with the Scottish government being encouraged to accelerate payments to farmers before next week's deadline. The deadline was also extended to October last year after problems with the Scottish government's new £178m IT system caused delays to payments which left many Scottish farmers facing a cash flow crisis, according to industry leaders. NFU Scotland President Andrew McCornick, speaking from the Highland Show, said: \"We've asked for Scottish Government to have a clear and open dialogue with the industry on payments. Farmers and crofters should have been the first to know that once again there is to be a delay in payments. \"This does nothing to restore trust or build confidence.\" 'Exceptional measure' The Scottish government had been facing fines of between £40m and £125m for failing to meet last year's deadline before the extension was agreed. At the time, the EU's commissioner for agriculture, Phil Hogan, stressed that the extension was an \"exceptional measure\" which reflected the difficulties some member states and devolved regions had experienced with the first year of payments under the new CAP. Ms Sturgeon, who is due to address farming leaders at the Royal Highland Show on Friday, was pressed on this year's payments by Ms Davidson at first minister's questions. The first minister said: \"The government is extremely focused, led by (Rural Economy Secretary) Fergus Ewing, on making sure that payments are made, and that in the meantime there is a loan scheme available for farmers to ensure that we are taking care of their cash flow issues. \"We will endeavour to make payments on time, and we will continue to discuss with the European Commission any contingency arrangements we consider are required. \"Good progress has been made on making payments, both in terms of the 2015 round and also now in terms of the 2016 round.\" What are the CAP payments? Reforms to the CAP system saw the Single Farm Payment Scheme replaced by the new Basic Payment Scheme (BPS) in 2015. The BPS is the main EU subsidy available to farmers in Scotland, with the money being allocated by the Scottish government. The payments are designed to act as a safety net for farmers and crofters by supplementing their main business income. 19,674 different Scottish rural businesses received a total of about £650m in CAP payments last year. Ms Sturgeon said the government had been dealing with a \"small number of known defects\" that had been holding up some claims, but said there were now being progressed. The first minister added: \"We are working to meet that deadline and we will continue to do so each and every day until that deadline.\" But Ms Davidson said Ms Sturgeon had refused to answer her question about whether the government was going to need an extension to the deadline this year, so it could therefore be \"assumed that the answer is yes\". Ms Davidson said 6,000 applications were still to be processed - about a third of the total for Scotland. She said: \"At the start of the year Nicola Sturgeon spoke directly to farmers at the National Farmers Union conference, and she said 'we understand the difficulties that late payments caused to you last year, we apologise for those difficulties and we are determined not to repeat them'. \"Another promise broken, why should rural Scotland ever trust you again?\" 'Failed to deliver' Ms Sturgeon responded: \"We continue to deliver this scheme, and we continue to seek to deliver it by the deadlines. \"What we have done - which was a commitment I have directly to farmers - is put in place loan schemes so that farmers did get the cash that they depend on. \"So we will continue to deliver this scheme, we will continue to work hard to rectify any problems in the IT system and we will also continue to argue for the protection of CAP payments in the longer term.\" After it emerged that the Scottish government had indeed sought an extension, Ms Davidson attacked the first minister and Rural Economy Secretary Fergus Ewing, saying they had \"promised they would fix their broken farm payments system after last year's debacle\". She said: \"Instead, we now learn that the SNP has once again failed to deliver on time for Scotland's rural economy - risking another huge fine and further delays for hard-pressed farmers and crofters. \"Instead of confronting this issue when I raised it with her today, the first minister tried to duck it. \"This week, the SNP government has been lambasted for its lack of transparency. This sorry episode only confirms that the culture of secrecy and denial in the SNP government goes right to the top.\" A Scottish government spokesman replied that they had repeatedly made clear their \"determination\" to make the \"vast majority\" of CAP payments by the June deadline, and that \"we are doing all we can to meet that goal\". He said: \"Officials have written to the European Commission to seek their agreement to extend the payment deadline - if necessary - from 30 June to 15 October for pillar one payments, on the grounds of the acutely challenging delivery and implementation issues we face in Scotland. This is simple prudence given the timescales involved.\"",

I'm like a vintage car they haven't seen before.\" In Bridge of Spies, Rylance plays real-life Soviet intelligence officer Rudolf Abel, who is arrested in 1950s New York and prosecuted as a spy. Abel's case is taken up by a principled insurance lawyer James Donovan, played by Tom Hanks, who wants to ensure Abel receives a fair trial. Donovan is plunged into the middle of a Cold War crisis when the CIA asks him to secretly negotiate a prisoner swap involving Abel and the pilot of a captured US spy plane. 'Geordie spy' One surprising fact about Abel is that he was born in Newcastle-upon-Tyne and was originally known as William August Fisher. \"The only person I met who knew about him was Sting,\" Rylance says, explaining how he met the Tyneside-born former Police front man after filming was over. \"Sting knew that he was a famous Geordie Russian spy. He said, 'I hope you're playing him as a Geordie.' I said the research I had was that he sounded Scottish. I dodged a bullet, because Geordie is a very difficult accent to do. \"I read that Abel and his father handed out flyers during the First World War trying to convince young English men not to sign up for it. So he'd obviously been involved very politically from a very early age before they then returned to Russia. \"I also read that he could never speak Russian without an English accent.\" Rylance was cast in Bridge of Spies after Spielberg saw him on stage in the hit all-male production of Twelfth Night, in which a cross-dressing Rylance played Olivia. His other best-known stage work includes Jerusalem and Boeing-Boeing. For 10 years, he was the artistic director of Shakepeare's Globe. This is Rylance's biggest film role to date - other movies on his CV include Anonymous and The Other Boleyn Girl - and Rylance says he felt well prepared after playing Thomas Cromwell in the recent BBC adaptation of Wolf Hall. \"The 17-week shoot, playing a character who was so secret and quiet, was a very intense period of work,\" he says. \"I gained a lot of confidence on that shoot about my ability to register in a camera. That made a big difference.\" The actor says that he doesn't mind the lack of rehearsal time that comes with film. \"Often your first instincts and the mistakes you make are better than what your mind is planning,\" he says. \"You just have to throw yourself with faith into the director's hands.\" In the theatre, he says, rehearsals should be about creating performances that can \"grow and change\" throughout the run. \"I don't work with theatre directors who try and lock down a production for the press night and then you have to be the same every night. I just won't do that,\" he says. \"Rehearsal in theatre is more like preparing a football team to play a whole season.\" Bridge of Spies might be Rylance's first collaboration with Spielberg, but it's not the last. The director was so impressed with Rylance that a week into filming he gave the actor a copy of the screenplay for his next project, a big-screen adaptation of Roald Dahl's The BFG. \"I thought he just wanted my opinion of it,\" says Rylance. \"I didn't realise he was actually offering me the part of the BFG. \"I hadn't read the book, but the script was wonderful. I had to change my plans a little bit to make myself available.\" The film was shot in Vancouver earlier this year and is now in post-production. \"It was motion-capture so my performance lives only in a computer,\" Rylance says of his role, the titular Big Friendly Giant. \"I'll be 24ft high and have big ears.\" Roles don't come much bigger than that, but for now all eyes are on Rylance to see if his quietly powerful turn as a Soviet spy will add another statuette to his trophy cabinet. Bridge of Spies is released in the UK on 26 November. The BFG is out in summer 2016.",

            "input": "By Alison HoltSocial affairs correspondent, BBC News That is particularly true when the abuse is happening within the family - the place where a child should be safe. We've known for a long time that only a relatively small number of abuse cases come to the attention of the authorities, but this report by the Children's Commissioner for England is a comprehensive attempt to measure and understand abuse that is hidden from view. Its conclusion that only one child in every eight facing sexual abuse comes to the attention of the authorities is a staggering figure, but it does not surprise many working in the field. Experts will often describe the abuse that is reported as the tip of the iceberg. This research attempts to measure the whole iceberg. Calculating the scale of the problem is valuable, but perhaps more important is what it tells us about how we as a society respond to abuse. There are huge taboos - particularly when abuse happens within a family - and this report underlines just how difficult it is for children to find the right words and the right person to tell. The researchers collected data from all the police forces and local authorities in England. They reviewed existing research and more than 750 survivors of abuse took part in a survey - probably the largest of its kind. 'Rely on children' The report says most abuse victims didn't tell anyone about what was happening to them until they were 12 or older. It also found the abuse usually began when they were much younger. Responses from the survivor survey suggested that around nine was the most common age for abuse to start. \"At the moment we rely on children being able to tell adults,\" says Anne Longfield, the Children's Commissioner for England. \"Most children tell us they don't know how to tell or they are afraid to tell, so most won't come to the attention of the statutory services and we need to change that.\" But one of the most disturbing findings of the research is that when children did pluck up the courage to tell someone, the abuse often continued. Most chose to tell their mother, a friend or a teacher, but even if they told the police, in many instances they still weren't protected. 'Difficult to think' Prof Jenny Pearce, of the University of Bedfordshire, carried out research for the report and was part of the inquiry team. She thinks abuse, particularly within families, is really challenging for society. \"Child sexual abuse flies in the face of everything that we expect of the family,\" she says. \"It's difficult for us to think about it happening in our own homes, it's much easier to think that child sexual exploitation is happening in institutions or somewhere out there.\" BBC Magazine: Are paedophiles' brains wired differently? The children's commissioner wants a complete rethink of the way in which the authorities tackle child abuse. Her report calls for better training for all professionals involved with children so they can spot signs of abuse. It also says children as young as five should have what it calls \"lessons in life\". In these they would learn about healthy, safe relationships to encourage them to talk to an adult if they are worried. This is the first of two reports by the commissioner. Now the scale of the abuse has been assessed, the next step will be to look in detail at what needs to be done.",

These are substantial challenges, but they are not the most important issue when it comes to considering people's actual experience of the economy. That comes down to the relationship between people's incomes and inflation - the rise in prices. If inflation is above the rate of increase in wages, then people are suffering an incomes squeeze. As the graph shows, this has been true since January last year. Practically, it means that people are, on average, becoming poorer month by month as the cost of living increases. This has been the situation for the majority of years since the financial crisis and is one of the most fundamental economic changes ushered in by that global calamity a decade ago. Reversing it matters. If consumers' incomes start rising in real terms then confidence is likely to increase and growth is likely to be given a boost. Don't forget that consumer spending accounts for about 60% of UK economic activity. Inflation spike The inflation drop today suggests that the pay squeeze is easing. Incomes data do lag prices, but if the trends continue (inflation easing and wages increasing) then it is likely that many millions of people will see their real incomes start rising again by the end of the year. Which is much better news than we have had recently, particularly after the inflation spike which followed the Brexit referendum and the fall in the value of the pound. That increased import prices of things like food and fuel, which pushed up costs here. That does not mean Britain's incomes problem is over. As the latest Resolution Foundation report, The Living Standards Outlook, revealed, the last decade has seen the most anaemic rates of wage growth for 200 years. Before the financial crisis, average wage growth topped 4%. Since 2009 it has been below 3%. And benefits for those in work have also been cut. Yes, there have been increases in things like the National Living Wage, but the government is well aware that, overall, the picture on incomes is pretty gloomy. Movement Mr Micawber was about right when he observed in Charles Dickens' David Copperfield: \"Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure nineteen [pounds] nineteen [shillings] and six [pence], result happiness. \"Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure twenty pounds ought and six, result misery.\" The moment when the former becomes more likely to be true rather than the latter moved a step closer today.",

Other stranded Britons include a Bedfordshire swimming team who have been waiting to return via EasyJet from Lanzarote since Saturday. Thirty-four children aged 12 to 17 from the Flitwick Dolphin Swimming Club, along with four adult volunteers, went on a training camp to the island on 17 February. They are being put up in a hotel and are due to fly back to the UK between Thursday and Saturday.

The complaint challenged tariffs enacted in June and September of 2018 on goods estimated at more than $200bn in annual trade. The US said the duties were a response to China's state-sanctioned technology theft, subsidies and other \"unfair practices\" and allowed under 1970s-era trade rules. But China said the taxes violated trade regulations because they were higher than US commitments and targeted only one country. A panel of WTO experts agreed with those claims. It added that the US had not proved its case that the tariffs were justified on moral grounds because it did not show how the products affected by the duties had benefited from the unfair practices. \"The panel found, accordingly, that the US had not met its burden of demonstrating that the measures are provisionally justified,\" it said. 'Unprecedented global trade tensions' The panel added that it had only looked into the US measures and not China's retaliation, which Washington has not challenged at the WTO. Noting \"unprecedented global trade tensions\", the three-person panel encouraged the two sides to work to resolve the overall dispute. In a statement on Tuesday, China's Commerce Ministry said it hoped the US would respect the rulings of the World Trade Organisation (WTO) and take practical action to maintain the multilateral trading system.

            "input": "Duncan WeldonNewsnight economics correspondent@Duncanweldonon Twitter For both financial markets and the wider global economy - good news for the US might turn out to be bad news for them. That dysfunctional state of affairs goes a long way towards explaining the weak pace of the global recovery from recession. Financial analysts at Vanda Securities reckon that jobs growth of 180,000 in the month would equate to rising US and emerging market stocks, as the prospect of a rate rise receded, but a rise of 250,000 would see asset prices fall. In other news, for the markets at least, \"bad news would be good news.\" Taking assets prices first, on a simple view, rising employment should be good news for US equities - it heralds more consumer spending and hence stronger demand. Indeed, one could argue that a rise in US interest rates would be a sign that policymakers are optimistic about the US recovery and should even be a sign that corporate profits will continue to rise, boosting stocks. That's an argument I've heard before from central bankers but one that is rarely popular with market participants. To understand why higher interest rates are being equated with weaker stock prices, one has to understand that Western stock markets have been as reliant on cheap money for growth as they have on improving corporate performances. Low interest rates not only make stocks look attractive on a relative basis (the relative returns from stocks appear high when interest rates are low - why keep money in the bank or sick it into bonds when the returns look so low?). In the US there has been an additional - and powerful - link between low borrowing costs and higher equities. Cheap borrowing has allowed companies to take on debt in order to buy back their own stocks pushing up their price. Such buy-backs have been a big driver of the large Wall Street rally since 2009. The economic recovery in the US - and the UK - has not just been accompanied by a big rise in asset prices but even, to an extent, led by that rise. But an asset price-led recovery underpinned by low interest rates is far from ideal. The fact that good news for the real economy may prove to be bad news for assets gives some clues as to the topsy-turvy world we are living in. Then there is the global picture. While a rise in interest rates might be appropriate for the US, it almost certainly isn't for much of the rest of the world where its impact will be felt just as much. Hence the IMF today calling on Western policymakers to hold their fire on rate rises. Economic performance has diverged across the globe - the US and UK recoveries look robust, Europe's growth is moderate but the big emerging economies look to be in trouble. As economies have diverged so too has monetary policy - with rate cuts across the developing world this year and further quantitative easing (electronically creating money) likely from both the Bank of Japan and the European Central Bank in the months ahead. All at a time when the US Fed (and possibly the Bank of England) look set to start tightening policy. That monetary divergence is playing out in the currency markets, where the story of 2015 has been a strengthening US dollar. Historically periods of rising US interest rates and a strengthening dollar have heralded a tough time for the emerging world. While the Fed takes into account conditions abroad when setting policy, it does so in a second order manner - the question it asks isn't \"what will a hike do to emerging market economies?\" but \"how would a slowdown in emerging markets affect the US?\" Given the Fed is the United States' central bank and not the world's (even if its policy has a major global impact] this is fair enough question. But it goes to the heart of one of the factors that led to the crisis of 2008 - the lack of global policy co-ordination. The monetary, fiscal, trade and exchange rate policies of each country can have a major impact on its neighbours. But with each country setting policy in its own (often short-term) interest, the bigger picture can be, to say the least, sub-optimal. The global economy suffers from a lack of co-ordination and co-operation. The mechanisms to make it work simply don't exist. Even in the eurozone - an example of a dozen-and-a-half countries choosing to pool their economic sovereignty - the toolkit is bare. Debtor states - such as Greece or Spain - that run into trouble can be forced, through strict conditionality on loans, to make changes to their policy, but the creditor states (such as Germany) are subject to just an attempt at moral persuasion. Even though it takes both a debtor and creditor to make a debt problem happen. A 0.25% rise in US interest rates is highly unlikely to derail the world recovery. But when good news is bad news, you know there is a bigger problem.",

Why should I care about market movements? Market movements don't only affect savers with shares or funds that invest in the stock market. They also affect anyone with a pension scheme, as the money we stash for our retirement is invested on our behalf in the market.

By avoiding having all your savings in one basket - or share - then you avoid falling prey to the worst volatility of stock markets. \"The coronavirus market downturn spurred many young people to dip a toe into the world of investments for the first time - perhaps because they have been at home more,\" pointed out Myron Jobson, personal finance campaigner at Interactive Investor. \"The key for investors of all ages is to ensure that your portfolio is well diversified across assets, sectors and regions so that you are not overexposed to risk in any one part of the market.\" Impossible to predict \"If 2020 taught us anything it's that predicting short-term movements in the stock market is impossible,\" Robin Powell, editor of The Evidence-Based Investor told the BBC. \"Investors should check that they're happy with the level of risk they're taking, and if they are, they should ignore the noise and stay invested, rebalancing periodically.\" He advises people to have a portfolio you can stick with through thick and thin, diversified across regions and sector, and that includes a percentage of government bonds to dampen the risk. \"And don't pay for help from anyone who thinks they know where markets are heading. They have no more of a clue than you do,\" he cautioned. Mr Mould conceded that it has been hard to find a decent return in 2020 with interest rate cuts, falling returns from National Savings products and lower Government bond yields. But if you put your money overseas, the story could have been different. \"Japanese and US stock markets both had solid years and America's tech-laden Nasdaq soared by over 40%,\" he pointed out. That's a point taken up by Michael Baxter, economics commentator for The Share Centre. \"Compare the FTSE-100 with the US equivalent,\" he said. \"The S&P 500 surged this year hitting a new all-time high. By contrast, the FTSE 100 fell sharply.\" He attributes that to the tech sector making up a high proportion of the US index. \"The COVID-19 crisis has accelerated a trend that was already in place before, namely the adoption of digital. \"By contrast, the FTSE 100 is made up too many companies with their base stuck in the past, trying to promote 20th century business models in the 21st century and Covid just served to make a bad situation worse.\"",

A French police source said Abdullah Hamamy was no longer in a critical condition but was still unable to communicate and could not yet be questioned.

The Tokyo Motor Show, which started in 1954 and is usually held every two years, had been scheduled to go ahead in October. The last event, which took place in 2019, attracted around 1.3 million visitors, according to the Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association.

The show's organisers also said that, unlike other major industry exhibitions that have moved online during the pandemic, there were no plans to make it a virtual event. The cancellation comes as Japan's Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga is expected to declare a state of emergency in several parts of the country, including Tokyo and Osaka. These latest developments come just three months before Japan is scheduled to host the 2020 Olympics, which have already been delayed by a year.

            "input": "Judges in London upheld an appeal by teenager Peter Cadder, whose assault conviction was based on evidence gained before he spoke to his lawyer. Until now suspects could be questioned for six hours without a lawyer present. The judges ruled this violated human rights to a fair trial. Ministers now plan to change Scots law. The Supreme Court judges said it was \"remarkable that, until quite recently, nobody thought that there was anything wrong with this procedure\" of questioning suspects without their lawyer present. They ruled it contravened a decision by the European Court of Human Rights in 2008 that suspects having access to a lawyer was fundamental to them receiving a fair trial. In their ruling, the judges admitted that their unanimous decision would have \"profound consequences\" for many Scottish cases. But they said: \"There is no room, in the situation which confronts this court, for a decision that favours the status quo simply on grounds of expediency. \"The issue is one of law. It must be faced up to, whatever the consequences.\" It is thought the judgement could increase the Scottish legal aid bill by up to £4m. It could also pave the way for other similar convictions to be reviewed or appealed. In the court's 47-page judgment it said up to 76,000 cases were ongoing or awaiting trial, although not all would be affected by their decision. The vast majority of them were summary cases, which are now time-barred from appeal and the Supreme Court made it clear its ruling would not apply to closed cases. The Crown Office estimated the number of possible appeals at closer to 3,500. It said a total of 120 solemn cases were affected by the judgement. Among them could be Luke Mitchell, who was just 14 when he was questioned without a lawyer by police investigating the murder of his girlfriend, Jodi Jones. That aspect of his case is already being investigated by the Scottish Criminal Cases Review Commission. The judges' decision has prompted the Scottish government to introduce emergency legislation to bring the country's rules into line with European human rights laws. Justice Secretary Kenny MacAskill said it had created a situation \"to which we must respond\". \"With parliament's support we will be making swift legislative changes to protect the victims of crime and safeguard communities,\" he said. Emergency legislation \"The main changes will mean introducing a right of access to legal advice before being questioned, extending the period during which a person may be detained, powers to adjust legal aid eligibility rules and measures to ensure certainty and finality in concluded cases. \"We will be introducing this emergency legislation to parliament on Tuesday and with the support of the other political parties we can complete the parliamentary scrutiny and debate process during the course of Wednesday. We anticipate the bill receiving Royal Assent by Friday.\" Mr MacAskill said the Supreme Court's decision had overturned \"decades of criminal procedure in Scotland\". He also said it had \"gone against the unanimous decision last October by seven Scottish High Court judges at the Scottish Appeal Court\". The justice secretary added: \"We are concerned that the current devolution arrangements have created an anomaly that seems to put Scottish law at a disadvantage in comparison to elsewhere in the EU. \"I want to see steps taken to address this anomaly.\" Mr MacAskill said that the Supreme Court ruling had been \"anticipated and planned for\". The Crown Office recently ordered lawyers to be allowed immediate access to arrested clients. The Lord Advocate Elish Angiolini said the ruling had \"significant implications\" for Scots law. \"Prosecutors work within the law made by parliament and as interpreted and stated by the courts,\" she said. \"Today's ruling in Cadder changes understanding of the law...and so we will immediately adapt our working practices to this new legal landscape.\" Prof Alan Miller, chair of the Scottish Human Rights Commission, said: \"This is no time for emergency legislation as there is no emergency. \"The floodgates have not been opened - this decision clearly does not apply to concluded cases. \"Rather, now it's time to get it right, and we have the time to get it right.\" He said warned that the government's timetable for emergency legislation was too short to allow a \"considered response\". Mr Miller added: \"The proposed extension of the six hour time limit for detention on reasonable suspicion to 12 and then possibly 24 hours at the discretion of the police seems a disproportionate response to a decision which was based on the need to recognise the vulnerability of those questioned in police detention.\" Liberal Democrat justice spokesperson Robert Brown said his party had \"substantial reservations\" about the emergency legislation proposed by the Scottish government. Ruling 'devastating' He said: \"There will be no detailed consideration of these important changes by the Justice committee and negligible chance for public input. \"We have reluctantly agreed to the process but we will be pursuing amendments to tighten up the procedures. \"Whilst the law needs to be changed to accommodate the judgement, I have concerns about the proposal to extend the period of detention from six hours to 24 hours, effectively at the discretion of the police.\" Labour's justice spokesman Richard Baker said there could be increases to the legal aid budget and changes to the detention of suspects. He said: \"Also, the cornerstone of Scottish justice itself, which is the corroboration of evidence, will need to be examined.\" Mr Baker said Labour would work with the Scottish government to ensure that any legislative changes to the justice system were made quickly. Conservative justice spokesman John Lamont described the ruling as \"devastating\" and said that the \"whole operation of the European Court of Human Rights must be reviewed\". \"All right minded people will be angry and disturbed that a freely given confession, by someone of sound mind, taped and witnessed, can no longer be used as evidence in a court of law,\" he said. \"This mess needs to be sorted as soon as possible and Scottish Conservatives stand ready to work with the rest of parliament to limit the damage.\"",

            "input": "By Jonathan AmosScience correspondent, BBC News The Florida team tried several ideas to attach the technology to the animals, which measure less than 20cm in length. This included making little harnesses, and using tough epoxy adhesives. But it was only when the turtle shells were prepared like a manicurist primes fingernails that the satellite tags would stay on for a useful period. \"My collaborator typically has very fancy toenails that are nicely manicured with painted waves and other designs on them,\" recalls Kate Mansfield, a US National Marine Fisheries Service scientist in Miami. \"We gave her manicurist a call and her manicurist recommended we use an acrylic base coat. We went out to our local pharmacy and picked some up and tried it on the turtles. We prepped the shell, sanded it down a little bit, buffed it nicely - kind of a turtle spa. \"The acrylic base coat extended our attachments by upwards of two to three months.\" The nail trick is a breakthrough in the study of Atlantic loggerheads ( Caretta caretta) because scientists have been struggling to find an effective way to study these animals' early years. Something like 80% of female loggerheads will nest in Florida. When their hatchlings emerge 40-70 days later, they make a mad dash for the water and swim out into the open ocean. Researchers have some information on the movements of these neonates from strandings and bycatch, but those first few years in the Atlantic are largely \"lost years\" to science. It may be up to a decade before these wanderers return to near-shore habitats. Fitting satellite trackers is the obvious answer, and the latest generation of tags is now small enough not to impede the junior turtles' natural behaviour. But the compact solar-powered units, originally developed to study the migration of birds, are expensive and must stay in place long enough to return useful data and justify the investment. This is complicated by the speed at which the turtles grow. Their weight can increase five-fold in their first three months at sea. Mansfield and colleagues approached the problem in a number of ways, even making little costumes out of Lycra and neoprene wet suit material to carry the tags. These were cut to a range of styles. One was referred to as \"The Borat\" because of its likeness to the \"mankini\" outfit worn by actor Sacha Baron Cohen in the comedy movie of that name . The aim was to incorporate a mechanism, such as Velcro, that would allow the tag to drop off after a productive dataset had been acquired. \"We were trying to go in for that Janet Jackson wardrobe-failure moment where the turtles would pop out of their harnesses, but unfortunately we couldn't quite come up with the right mechanism for the harnesses to be shed over time as the turtles grew,\" Dr Mansfield told BBC News. Direct attachment ideas included using hard epoxy glues. These were found to be short-lived. The top layer of the keratin shell would peel away as the turtle grew. The epoxy glues also had a tendency to deform the shell. The team eventually settled on a preparation that involved the base-coat of the manicurist's acrylic and a mount for the tags of neoprene strips held in place by a silicone-based adhesive. Laboratory trials showed this combination would keep the tracker locked down for a minimum of 50-plus days. In contrast, hard epoxy preparations would come off after only a couple of weeks. Dr Mansfield and colleagues are now compiling a report on what they have learnt about neonate dispersal in the open ocean from their manicured turtles. The trackers have been returning information such as location and water temperature. This is helping the team understand how the turtles are behaving in their environment, where they are travelling, and the types of physical features in the ocean they are encountering. \"It's very important for the management of the species to know where they are, what they're doing and how they're interacting with their habitat,\" Dr Mansfield said. \"In particular, for the smallest age classes of turtles, there's very little information. The Atlantic loggerhead doesn't reach maturity for decades, so those turtles have to survive for at least 25 or so years before they can reproduce and put back into the population. \"We need to know what's going on during that time frame to address how best to protect them.\" A scholarly paper describing the tag attachment methods has just been published in the journal Marine Ecology Progress Series .

The affected apps included a Polish magazine, a gif-sharing service and a platform for sending clips of Xbox games to friends. The BBC has contacted Apple for comment. A message sent to affected developers said that Apple was removing gambling-related apps made by individuals in an effort to \"reduce fraudulent activity... and comply with government requests to address illegal online gambling activity\". Recently, Norway succeeded in getting Apple to ban all gambling apps from its App Store in the country, although the recent removals appear to have been effected worldwide. Some of the removed apps are now coming back online. \"Apple says these apps contain gambling but they don't reveal how they have detected this,\" said Simon Stovring, a Copenhagen-based developer behind a gif-sharing app called Gifferent. \"It seems like an unfortunate but honest mistake,\" he told the BBC. Mr Stovring said about 10 fellow-developers had contacted him to say that they too had been hit by the ban. Wojtek Pietrusiewicz, co-owner of the Polish app iMagazine, said it had also been \"caught in the crossfire\". 'Angry comment' He said he thought the removal might have occurred because the app contains access to the wider internet, which allows users to potentially click through to gambling content. The app, which has thousands of users, was down for a total of 15 hours. While it didn't cause any serious issues, Mr Pietrusiewicz said it did result in \"one angry comment from a reader and a lot of stress for our team\".

The village's general store is selling milk in glass bottles and a pub has replaced plastic drinking straws with paper ones. A series of fund-raising activities is planned to finance a poster campaign aimed at raising awareness. Residents launched Plastic-free Aberporth as the UK government's Environment Secretary, Michael Gove, issued his four-point plan for tackling plastic waste. The Aberporth campaign is being led by local resident Gail Tudor, who took part in a fact-finding tour of the British coastline to see the effect discarded plastics were having on marine life and the shore earlier this year. Ms Tudor, a film maker, said: \"I live by the sea and I want to protect the sea and keep it clean and protect the wildlife. \"There is so much plastic in the sea and on the beaches and when it breaks down into microplastics it can get into our food chain. \"We are not going to get rid of plastic altogether. \"Plastic does have some uses, but what we are looking to do is get rid of single-use plastic such as straws and coffee cups.\" Local pub The Ship has already ditched throwaway plastic products like straws, condiment sachets and milk containers. Oliver Box, whose family run the pub, said: \"One thousand plastic straws cost just £1, while the same number of paper straws is £10. We are putting a jar on the bar where we hope customers will contribute in a small way to what we are trying to do. \"We need the financial support of the local community to support the campaign to banish plastic from the village.\" Mr Box said he was \"appalled\" at the sight of discarded plastic strewn along the Wales Coast Path, which runs through the village. He said he and his children Finley, 10, and Florence, six, regularly litter-pick on the public path. \"The campaign can only be a good thing if it gets people thinking about their environment,\" he said.

            "input": "By Thomas FabbriBBC News First it was Shyla Stylez, who died while visiting family from unknown reasons in November. Then in December, August Ames killed herself. Shortly after, three other porn actresses - Yurizan Beltran, Olivia Nova and Olivia Lua - died within weeks of each other, either from suspected drug overdoses or unexplained reasons. What had started as a call to action to support female performers struggling with mental health, drug addiction and cyberbullying, now felt to many in the industry like a full-on crisis. Was the industry doing enough to prevent these kinds of deaths? \"We need to fight the stigma as a group, because we've all been under attack,\" says Tori Black, a two-time Female Performer of the Year at the AVN Awards, the Academy Awards of the adult movie business, \"What happened to these girls could have happened to any one of us on a weak moment.\" While there has long been a stigma around porn, actresses say that social media has raised the stakes. Social platforms have given performers new opportunities to control their careers, but also exposes them to trolling and de-humanising comments more often. You might also like: Black, who returned to acting in porn after taking a seven-year hiatus to focus on her family, says while most of her social media interactions are positive, she still faces negative comments. \"I'm a mother and a porn star, and that's very complicated,\" she says. \"I could post the most innocent, fully-clothed everyday picture on Instagram and someone would comment 'Aren't you ashamed? You have children!',\" For Black, \"haters\" and trolls aren't the consequence of increased popularity, but amplified voices of very old prejudices that consider sexuality degrading. Only by gradually changing that culture, says Black, performers can finally earn the respect they deserve. \"We chose this industry because sex is something that moves us and we're passionate about, just like a musician would go to music,\" she says. Adult performers also argue the stigma surrounding sex workers has a direct effect on their ability to receive help. Therapists and other professionals are likely to treat the fact they work in porn as the cause of their problems, rather than a profession, says Tasha Reign, the chairwoman of the Adult Performer Advocacy Committee. \"Anybody who is told over and over again that what they do is not okay start to really believe it, even if they don't want to,\" she says. But Reign says there has to be change from inside the industry as well. \"These deaths have brought awareness and empathy from the outside,\" she says, \"but there are many things the industry can do to make it a better place for young women\". Reign and the APAC are trying to implement a mandatory training protocol for new performers, to make sure they are aware of their rights. The group has a \"stamp\" for mental health and other professionals who meet their criteria for \"safe, sex worker-positive, and non-discriminatory services\". Reign is also personally supportive on rising the entry age from 18 to 21. Complicating these efforts is the fact the porn industry went through major changes - the advent of popular video-sharing sites meant cheaper, often more degrading, content survived and wages fell. The workforce is fragmented, and a feast-or-famine gig structure has further increased pressure on performers. For the actresses, this new world of free and often pirated content added another layer of complexity to their feelings towards their profession, including being pushed outside of their comfort zones, sometimes having to take on roles they wouldn't have otherwise taken. The porn industry has also had their own #MeToo moment, with numerous allegations of sexual assault on-set and off. Another industry group has developed a checklist directors can use to clarify what performers are and are not comfortable with on set. Other women are taking control by switching roles and moving behind the camera. Angela White, who is both an actress and director, won a record-breaking 14 AVN Awards this year. She says there's a \"large positive shift within the industry\" to more women producing and directing their own content and \"to represent women as powerful sexual beings\". This year, half of the 10 titles contending for Movie of the Year at the AVN Awards were directed or co-directed by women, compared with only one out of 10 Oscar nominees. Director Greg Lansky argues that a big part of his studios' success comes from building the brands' image around strong women - who he is adamant to call artists. \"Language is very important,\" says Lansky. \"We need to drive the adult industry and its people forward, out of the shadows,\" he adds. After Lansky won his third consecutive Director of the Year award this year, he left the stage to producer Kevin Moore - widower of August Ames - to announce a support programme for female performers in memory of his late wife. The August Project, Moore said, would be \"a support system tailored for the performers in this industry. It will be a resource so that if any of you find yourself on the edge of a cliff, help is a phone call away\". \"There can never be another AVN awards show that has a memorial full of young women, ever again.\"",

Last year, the government signalled a move away from wholesale privatisation in England and Wales. Reform says this decision is not backed up by evidence. Justice Minister Jeremy Wright said the report was a \"simplistic analysis\". Privately-managed prisons were introduced in the UK in the 1990s and there are currently 14 private prisons in England and Wales, all managed by one of three firms - G4S, Serco and Sodexo Justice Services (formerly Kalyx). Value for money In November, Justice Secretary Chris Grayling set out the government's plan for prison competition and he decided four prisons, including G4S-run HMP Wolds, should be run by the public sector. Mr Grayling said private firms would be brought in to all public prisons to run maintenance, resettlement and catering, saving up to £450m over six years. Policy groups, including Reform, said the decision amounted to the end of competition for prison management between the public and private sector, although Mr Grayling insisted it did not rule out further prison-by-prison competitions in the future. For its report \"The case for private prisons\", Reform studied Ministry of Justice statistics for prison operation performance and rehabilitation. Some data was not available for all of the 14 private prisons. The think tank said private prisons outperformed their public counterparts in the majority of the performance measures used by the Ministry of Justice. Among the report findings were: Report author Will Tanner said: \"Private contractors outperform comparable public sector prisons on both cost and quality, delivering better value for money for the taxpayer. \"In addition, the vast majority of contracted prisons have lower reoffending rates than similar public sector prisons for both long and short term prisoners, a key government objective.\" Reform recommended that all prisons should be subject to competition. It also called for the end to national pay bargaining for prison officers with pay and conditions to be set locally by governors. Serco and G4S were among 64 firms which provided more than £5,000 in sponsorship for events run by Reform last year, but the think tank said it was \"editorially independent\" . Mr Tanner said its external reviewers included former governors of public sector and private sector jails. He added that the data on which its analysis was based was from the government, not the private sector. 'Mixed results' Justice Minister Jeremy Wright says Reform's \"simplistic analysis does not tell the whole story\". \"A wide range of factors contribute to reoffending including previous criminal behaviour, drug and alcohol dependency and the support offenders receive on release from prison,\" he said. \"This is why we are committed to introducing significant reforms that will bring down our stubbornly high reoffending rates.\" Juliet Lyon, director of the Prison Reform Trust, said the report's selective use of data masked \"decidedly mixed results\". \"Some private prisons have proved innovative and effective, but others have been criticised by the Chief Inspector for their high staff turnover, tendency to cut corners and weaknesses in security. \"From Ministry of Justice data, it is almost impossible to compare the performance and reoffending rates of one establishment with another, partly because prisons hold different categories of offenders and also because prisoners often serve their sentences in a number of different jails.\" And Steve Gillan, of the Prison Officers Association told BBC Radio 4's Today programme his trade union was opposed to private prisons in concept and because it believes \"it is a duty of the state\" to handle justice and not for share holders who would be \"gaining from incarceration\". However, Jerry Petherick, G4S managing director of custodial and detention services, said the report had looked at a \"wide range\" of official performance measures. \"This report acknowledges that the private sector is a source of innovation in areas like reducing reoffending, encouraging employment and fostering an environment which promotes constructive staff-prisoner relationships,\" he said.",

They would then have to apply for money for one-off projects. The move sparked an angry reaction from the arts community - including actor Alan Cumming and playwright David Greig - who feared the new scheme was unsustainable and unlikely to be delivered in time. Now, in a partial climbdown, Mr Dixon and Creative Scotland chairman Sir Sandy Crombie have written to every arts organisation affected to apologise. They said: \"While we remain committed to the strategic direction, we acknowledge that some adjustments would be beneficial. \"The concerns have substantially, although not entirely, been about the speed of the change, which has been over-ambitious and we apologise that this has inadvertently caused anxiety among a number of arts organisations regarding their future. \"We accept that some of our communication on future funding has not been as clear as we would like.\" Although Creative Scotland will still go ahead with its strategy - which coincides with a £2m drop in government funding - it will delay the deadline for applications for six months, allowing organisations extra time for paperwork and to source alternative funding. Organisations and individuals who took to Twitter to protest have welcomed the apology and the acknowledgment of the need for better communication. 'Do-or-die applications' David Greig said: \"The concerns were never about the speed of change, they were about the principles behind it. \"But it's good that dialogue seems to be opening up. I hope the organisations are listened to.\" Another arts administrator said: \"I don't think anyone has had time to think about it. Most organisations are just firmly focused on do-or-die applications.\" Another added: \"It seems like a cynical move to get good PR in the wake of some bad coverage. \"The central issue remains unaddressed. What criteria will Creative Scotland apply when cherry picking the best of an organisation's work? \"And where will the money come from - the government or the lottery?\"",

            "input": "By Benjamin ZandBBC Victoria Derbyshire programme Modern gay conversion therapy, according to organisations that promote it, can enable people to change or reduce their \"homosexual tendencies\" through \"standard psycho-therapeutic and counselling techniques\". It is legal in the UK, but in January 14 health organisations - including NHS England and the Royal College of Psychiatrists - signed an agreement that described the treatment as \"potentially harmful and unethical\". In 2009, journalist and gay rights activist Patrick Strudwick underwent conversion therapy while filming undercover. He told the Victoria Derbyshire programme there was a \"preposterous and offensive\" basic notion that \"homosexuality is a pathology, an illness, and that it can be cured\". The psychotherapist that treated him, he explained, asked him whether he had been sexually abused as a child. When he replied \"no\", she thought he was wrong and \"prayed to God to bring those memories to the surface\". He says the therapist - who had her accreditation to the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy suspended following the secret filming - later inferred that it was \"very likely\" that the abuse was committed by someone in his family. \"In other words,\" Mr Strudwick says, \"a therapist, who is with a potentially very vulnerable person, is suggesting to them that a member of their family has sexually abused them.\" On another occasion, he adds, \"I was advised to have regular massages with a male masseur as a way of having non-sexual contact with another man, therefore fulfilling the side of me that craves that kind of intimacy with men.\" Mr Strudwick views gay conversion therapies as a representation of \"a culture war... between fundamentalists who seek to eradicate an entire minority, and that minority itself. \"I'm afraid to say everyone who I have met with, who has been through any form of conversion therapy or aversion therapy, has been severely affected for a long time.\" Watch Victoria Derbyshire weekdays from 09:15-11:00 BST on BBC Two and the BBC News channel, for original stories, in-depth interviews and the issues at the heart of public debate.

He has been speaking at a conference this month in London, called Transformation Potential, designed to promote the merits of gay conversion therapies. Mr Comiskey believes his own therapy has been successful in removing much of his \"homosexual inclinations,\" even if some remain. \"I think this side of heaven we are all flawed and if [the remaining inclinations] are an aspect of my flawed humanity, I'm okay with it. I think weakness is different from volitional sinning.\" Mr Comiskey believes conversion therapy is the answer for those who wish to resolve their \"moral conflict\". \"Due to their faith commitment, [these people] cannot in good conscience assume a gay identity and act on that with other members of their own gender. \"I think it's the role of therapy to help a young person who is seeking help to sort out what his or her options are, and to make clear that there are options for looking at homosexuality in ways other than just saying 'You're born this way, make peace with it'.\" Mr Comiskey says that those entering the treatment do so in \"free will\", and that the therapy is being wrongly viewed by politicians and professionals. Earlier this month, Barack Obama condemned the practice, with a White House adviser saying the US president \"supports efforts to ban the use of conversion therapy for minors\". Mr Comiskey, however, says he does not agree with the way in which Mr Obama and \"perhaps some therapists in the UK\" are portraying the treatment as \"this aggressive, almost proselytising act on the part of a set of Christian therapists\". 'No evidence' In the UK, conferences such as Transformation Potential - organised by pro-therapy groups Core Issues Trust and Christian Concern - are not banned from taking place. For the Royal College of Psychiatrists' Professor Michael King, the government is \"wise\" to take this stance. \"There are lots of kooky therapies out there for all sorts of things and we don't ban them, we warn against them. \"I think it was better to put the evidence out there and to say that any therapist worth a respected association would not undertake these treatments because they're harmful.\" His greatest objection is held towards the claim that \"sexual orientation can change, and that people are broken and they need therapy. \"There's just no evidence that that is true.\" Watch Victoria Derbyshire weekdays from 09:15-11:00 BST on BBC Two, the BBC News Channel, and online.",

The pilot, led by Southampton University, will run for four weeks. Experts hope a saliva test will be an easier option for people - swabs can be uncomfortable and need to go deep into the nose and throat. The tests are designed to identify if a person is currently infected with coronavirus. Participants in the trial, which will include some university staff and students, will provide weekly saliva samples for lab testing. The kit will be delivered to their home or workplace and then collected by staff working for the trial team or returned to an agreed location. It could potentially spot people who are infected but have no symptoms, yet still risk passing the disease on to others. The trial is in addition to routine coronavirus testing already being offered to NHS staff and any people with symptoms. Health Secretary Matt Hancock said he was grateful to everyone involved in the trial: \"Saliva testing could potentially make it easier for people to take coronavirus tests at home, without having to use swabs. This trial will also help us learn if routine, at-home testing could pick up cases of the virus earlier.\" Anyone who tests positive for the virus will be asked to self-isolate to avoid spreading the infection. The saliva test looks for genetic material of the virus using a technique known as loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP). Experts say this can be simpler and faster to carry out than the standard polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing method used to analyse coronavirus swabs. Ultimately, it might be possible to do the testing as well as the sampling at home and get results in under an hour. As well as trialling the Optigene saliva test, the Southampton team are exploring the use of other no-swab saliva-based coronavirus tests with companies including Chronomics, Avacta, MAP Science and Oxford Nanoimaging.

And from speaking to other patients and healthcare workers here, it is clear her story is broadly typical. As Greece careers towards another election later this month, the country's healthcare system is continuing to crumble. Funding for state-run hospitals has been cut by more than 50% since the debt crisis started in 2009. They suffer from severe shortages in everything, from sheets, gauzes and syringes, to doctors and nurses. By 2011, supplies were critically low, says Athena, a former nurse in a haematology unit. \"We did not even have the most basic of materials [such as] surgical spirit.\" Public health spending in Greece is expected to shrink to 4% of gross domestic product (GDP) by the end of 2015, one of the worst levels in the EU. The average spend is 6.9%, according to the Panhellenic Medical Association. The National Organisation for Healthcare (EOPYY) is running a deficit of €1.5bn. Allocated hospital funding, which has slowed to a crawl since March, will fall this year by more than 22% to €1.18bn. A new bailout agreed with Greece's creditors by the former coalition government headed by the left-wing Syriza party will do little to address the situation, experts say, as it dictates a prolongation of austerity and spending cuts. 'Go private' Greeks who have the financial means are increasingly turning to the private sector. A 77-year old woman, named Nikki, recently suffered a stroke at 03:00 in the morning. The paramedics who arrived at her house in Kalamaria, an affluent Thessaloniki suburb, told her panicking son that his mother should be seen by a doctor as soon as possible. But they warned him not to take her to the local public hospital that night. \"The hospital is overcrowded. It may take hours for her to see a doctor. You'd better get her to a private clinic,\" they said. The son immediately drove his mother to the nearest clinic. There were no queues, but rather an abundance of medical staff to help her. But all this came at a price. She paid €800 for her screening and three-day hospitalisation. Not everyone is so lucky. Most Greeks, even those who have jobs, cannot afford private healthcare. The situation is even worse for the estimated 2.5 million uninsured Greeks. Having lost their jobs and health coverage, getting access to healthcare is a huge challenge. Syriza acknowledges as much. The party's manifesto unveiled ahead of the 20 September election warns that the health crisis hurts primarily the country's poor and vulnerable. Massive understaffing Few patients blame the medical staff - they know they are overworked and underpaid. \"We are short on doctors and nurses. We work almost non-stop to provide for them as best we can,\" says Athina Grammatikopoulou, a nurse at Theageneio hospital where Ms Semakoula was turned away. \"For example a single nurse has to care for 20 or 25 patients during night shifts.\" Greece healthcare crisis Decline in government spending 10% of GDP went on healthcare in 2009 4% of GDP is the expected spend for 2015 22% decline in allocated hospital funding in 2015 5,000 more doctors needed 15,000 more nurses needed According to the government, the system requires 4,500 extra doctors and other medical and paramedical staff. But Michael Vlastarakos, President of the Panhellenic Medical Association, says the Greek healthcare system is 5,000 doctors and 15,000 nurses short. The understaffing is getting worse because of a mass exodus of doctors and nurses, who have seen their salaries cut and work hours increase. \"In the past three years, more than 15,000 doctors have left the country, mainly for the UK, Germany, Cyprus and Sweden,\" says Mr Vlastarakos. \"The dramatic understaffing means, for example, that in Sparta, my hometown, the pathology clinic is no longer operating.\" Bribes Doctors working at public hospitals in Greece earn on average about €1,200 to €2,000 a month - and payments are often seriously delayed. Mr Vlastarakos says low pay is one reason why the problem of the infamous \"fakelaki\", or illegal bribes, is still rife. \"A patient who is told that he can only be operated in three months' time has two options: go to a private clinic or pay his way up the waiting list,\" he says. Cancer patients are particularly vulnerable. Persefoni Mitta, head of the Association of Cancer Patients in Macedonia and Thrace, spends her days trying to help the 6,500 members of her organisation in their fight against the disease. \"Some are sent away from the hospitals because the machine may not be working, or chemotherapy is impossible,\" she says. \"Others come crying because they were discharged from the hospital right after an operation.\" Spitting mad What they all have in common is their outrage towards politicians. \"They spit at politicians. And rightfully so. They should be ashamed of themselves,\" says Ms Mitta. \"The only thing they know how to do is hold new elections every couple of months, while people out there are suffering\". Another problem is drug shortages. Commercial pharmacies are owed more than €0.5bn by the government, according to the Panhellenic Pharmaceutical Association (PFS), so many request payment from patients up front. Iosif Vaena, a pharmacist in Thessaloniki, says shortages are real, with some drugs including insulin running low, and others becoming simply unavailable, like the polio vaccine. And even in the case of medicines that are theoretically available, patients need to pay out of their own pocket to get them. Greece pharmacist: 'Tell Europe SOS' 'Give up' Then there are medicines that are essential but so cheap that no company will import them. These are covered by emergency imports, but the government agency responsible has no funds to pay for them and has stopped placing orders. Cancer drugs are vital, but often inaccessible. \"It is one thing to ask a patient to bring his own blanket to the hospital. And quite another to deny him a drug that means the difference between life and death,\" Ms Mitta says. Sometimes doctors tell cancer patients to give up, she adds. \"A doctor will say, 'He is 70 years old, there is no point in spending money and resources on him'. But who are they to decide?\" She says she faced the same attitude when she was diagnosed with multiple forms of cancer 28 years ago. \"They said I only had three months to live... But here I am, still breathing.\"",

            "input": "By Michael OsbornEntertainment reporter, BBC News The ITV1 series is poised to return to its lucrative Sunday evening slot after The X Factor, and hopes are high that the saga will spin further ratings gold. Downton's executive producer Gareth Neame has boldly declared that the drama has the legs to run for \"years and years\" and into several series, taking the story of the Crawley family and their household into the 1930s. But for the moment, the action in and around the Yorkshire stately pile resumes two years into World War I, which is pulling Downton's well-ordered fabric to pieces. Maids are serving in the dining room as their male counterparts have gone to the front, while the Crawley daughters are taking up driving and nursing to do their bit for the war effort. As the conflict takes its toll, it is clear that emotions will run very high as the series pans out. The show's actors are more restrained about the possibility of reprising their roles for several series. Rob James Collier, who plays footman-turned-soldier Thomas Barrow in the show, says: \"When Julian [Fellowes, Downton creator] set out to write it he was going to do it in three parts, which is an attractive package. \"I'm not going to think beyond that. Whether it will go on because of its early success, I'm not sure,\" he adds. Actor Brendan Coyle, the Earl of Grantham's valet John Bates, also expresses reservations about Downton's long-haul chances and sticking with his role. \"It's as long as the storytelling remains fresh,\" he explains. \"Audiences tend to decide when a series is over.\" It was the viewing public who gave Downton its greatest endorsement during the last series, ensuring it would come back for a second run. Highbrow Jim Carter, who plays fastidious, devoted butler Mr Carson says audiences found the series more \"accessible\". \"A common theme I get from people watching Downton is that they didn't think costume dramas were for them - they might be a bit BBC, highbrow and off-putting. This is on ITV so they thought they'd give it a go.\" He adds that the drama's high production values and ability to tell a story has added to its lustre - not to mention its gentle tenor following the frenzy of The X Factor on Sunday evenings. Hugh Bonneville, who plays the Earl of Grantham, agrees with the assessment, saying Downton \"has gone beyond the traditional costume drama audience\". But seated in the splendour of Highclere Castle in Berkshire, the actor maintains that the main star of the show is the splendid house which forms the real-life backdrop for Downton. About half the scenes are filmed in the house's numerous rooms and outdoor areas, with sequences in the servants' quarters set in a purpose-built lot at Ealing Studios. Bonneville says the house is the \"main character\" of Downton and \"the bedrock around which everyone else revolves\". \"We may all change but it's likely to stand for years. It's a formidable character, the one thing that doesn't change.\" Irish actor Allen Leech, who plays chauffeur Tom Branson, also maintains that Downton - or Highclere - \"has its own character\". \"I remember the first time I drove up to it - it's breathtaking, so steeped in history and makes our jobs as actors easier.\" There is another treasure who has made a considerable impact in the first series and promises to maintain such a presence in the new run of Downton. Humdingers Dame Maggie Smith plays the imperious Violet, Dowager Countess of Grantham, who has built up a reputation for delivering a barrage of blistering one-liners, both withering put-downs and humorous asides. \"Julian quite rightly gives her the humdingers and you spend the entire scene teeing them up and then letting her get on with it,\" says Bonneville, her on-screen son. Michelle Dockery, a younger member of the cast who plays Lady Mary Crawley - Violet's granddaughter - says Dame Maggie is \"incredibly caring and amazing to work with\". \"She makes it look so easy and effortless. But there's no way to try to achieve what you see her doing. It's the little details that she puts into a scene, even adding something that's not written in it,\" adds the actress. The impact of the series, which has become a hit in the US and collected 11 Emmy nominations, is not lost on Dame Maggie, herself a winner of two Oscars. \"I actually do very little television, so I've never been in anything that's been this big before,\" she has said. The show's prospects of resuming its place as a Sunday night stalwart and capturing impressive viewing figures once again seem very favourable.

He was admitted to hospital on Wednesday after suffering months of abdominal pain. His brother and political confidant Toronto Councillor Doug Ford has replaced him on the ballot. During a news conference on Friday evening, Doug Ford said his brother \"needed me to take the torch while he focuses on getting better\". Drunken stupor At the same time as he withdrew from the mayoral election, Rob Ford's name was added to the ballot papers to run for councillor in his old constituency of Ward 2 in Etobicoke, signalling his desire to retain a political presence in the city. Amid the flurry of activity at Toronto's city hall on Friday, Mr Ford issued a statement from his hospital bed saying it had been an \"honour\" to serve as mayor. \"People know me as a guy who faces things head-on and never gives up,\" Mr Ford said. \"Now I could be facing a battle of my lifetime, and I want the people of Toronto to know that I intend to face this challenge head on, and win.\" In 2000, Mr Ford was elected to represent the Toronto neighbourhood of Etobicoke in the city council. In that role, he gained a reputation for controversial remarks and an aversion to spending city money. From there he ran for mayor with a promise to \"end the gravy train\" at city hall. Crack cocaine In 2010 he was elected mayor with 47% of the vote, largely on the strength of his support in the outlying suburbs. His brother Doug Ford Jr replaced him on the council as a representative from Etobicoke. His first term brought him popularity in Toronto's suburbs for privatising the rubbish collection in a large swathe of the city and repealing an unpopular vehicle tax. But it also brought him notoriety for his flamboyant behaviour which included public drunkenness, misuse of official resources and drug use. Then last year, the Toronto Star and US news and gossip website Gawker reported they had watched videos of him appearing to smoke crack cocaine. In November, Mr Ford admitted he had purchased and used the drug while in what he described as a drunken stupor. Though eventually stripped of most of his mayoral powers by the Toronto city council, Mr Ford defied calls to step down and announced he was running for re-election. Mr Ford did a month-long stint in rehab, then returned to city hall in June. Recent polls have shown him in contention, buoyed by support from the \"Ford Nation\" in the city's inner suburbs and among younger, less educated and poorer voters in Canada's largest city. Rob Ford's withdrawal leaves Olivia Chow, a former NDP member of parliament, and John Tory, a businessman and former Progressive Conservative member of the Ontario parliament, as the frontrunners in the 27 October election.

            "input": "It comes after the first minister set out her plans on Tuesday for the country and businesses to reopen between now and April. However, it will be mid-March before more details are spelled out. The Scottish government said non-essential retail, hospitality and services such as gyms and hairdressers would not reopen before 26 April. From then, Scotland will return to using a levels system of restrictions, where the level in each area is determined by prevalence of the virus. All parts of the country currently in level four are expected to be able to move back to level three initially. The government has warned there may be some changes to what is allowed in each level. During Wednesday's coronavirus briefing, First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said she \"desperately wanted\" to give a date for the overall end of lockdown, as the prime minister has done for 21 June, but said she did not want to give people \"false clarity\". She said: \"If I were to give you a fixed and hard and fast date right now, I would pretty much be making it up and I don't think that's the approach I should take. \"Our approach here is not an outlier and in terms of reopening the economy, we are roughly two weeks behind England.\" Tanja Lister of the Kylesku Hotel in Sutherland told the BBC's Good Morning Scotland programme that a return to the levels system would be devastating for business. She said: \"Effectively what we've been given is a route map to another lockdown, because let's be clear - level three for us, which is what's on for April, is actually what closed most hotels in the last part of 2020 so for our industry it's a potential disaster.\" Ms Lister added: \"If you were booking a holiday right now somewhere in the UK, you wouldn't book it in Scotland and that's the point. \"If you were looking for a job right now somewhere in the UK, you wouldn't look for it in Scotland. \"We will be left with very very serious problems in the summer is this doesn't change soon.\" Ms Lister set up the hospitality and tourism action group, which is campaigning for a UK-wide full unlocking and reopening of the tourism and hospitality industry on 17 May - in line with the date set out for England on Monday. In a statement, the group said the announcement on how the unlocking would take place in Scotland had been met with \"utter dismay, confusion and anger\". It added that the industry in Scotland faced the green shoots of recovery for 2021 dying, adding: \"Rather than cautious hope, the industry now faces widespread cancellations as people make plans to head elsewhere in the UK, recruitment becomes almost impossible.\" 'We need dates' During her speech on Tuesday, the first minister stressed that Scotland's route out of lockdown was dependent on suppression of the virus. Ms Sturgeon acknowledged that she was being \"deliberately cautious\", but said the pace of easing restrictions would be accelerated if the data supported it. On Monday, Boris Johnson announced that shops, hairdressers, gyms and outdoor hospitality in England could reopen on 12 April. Under a four-step plan to ease lockdown south of the border, all legal limits on social contact could be lifted by 21 June if strict conditions are met. Stephen Montgomery, of the Scottish Hospitality Group, said it was not viable for hospitality businesses to open under level three restrictions. He added that it would be better if hospitality could be given definitive dates for reopening in the spring, like those given in England. \"We know on the 26 April that we're going to be open in some way - that's a date that we can look forward to, but we don't know whether it's going to be outside trading or inside trading, we don't know whether we're going to be serving food, no alcohol, nothing. \"We've got skilled staff to rehire, we have trading to do, we need some dates as indicative as they may be, but something to look forward to.\" He also said the 18:00 curfew that was in place under the old system effectively meant stopping taking orders at 16:30, which prevented them effectively operating an evening service. Fiona Campbell, of the Association of Scotland's Self-Caterers, said the Scottish government had \"failed completely\" to set out what the changes would mean for hospitality and tourism businesses. She added: \"What makes this muddle even more disappointing to us, and to Scotland's tourism sector as a whole, is that it effectively means we are lagging behind our colleagues south of the border who already have an indicative date to reopen and as a result have already seen bookings come pouring in for late spring. \"We are now not only having to cancel and refund existing bookings, but we are also having to turn down bookings from south of the border.\" She added that the self-catering sector had not yet had any help from sectoral support packages announced in December. Nicola Sturgeon said she wanted to make sure that relaxing restrictions was \"as safe and sustainable as possible\", hence she wanted to be \"cautious, careful and patient for the next period - while the vaccination programme progresses\". She added that she had tried to provide as much clarity as possible, while \"avoiding giving false assurance or picking arbitrary dates that have no grounding at this stage in any objective assessment\". But Scottish Conservative leader Douglas Ross said that the hospitality industry was \"crying out for information\". Mr Ross added: \"They tuned in yesterday to the first minister to hear how we will get out of this, how we can return business to normal, how I'll be able to go round to my parents and give them a hug again - that's what we wanted from the first minister yesterday and we got none of that. \"She let Scotland down yesterday with that route map.\" Do you have a question about the Covid restrictions in place in Scotland?

            "input": "On Thursday, the Election Commission (EC) released the final vote count, showing the pro-military party had won the popular vote. However, the count has been marred by concerns over voting irregularities and official results are due by 9 May. Sunday's election had been billed as a return to democracy for Thailand. But the military was criticised for taking steps to ensure it would remain influential in politics, including appointing all 250 seats in the upper house. A complicated system of allocating seats in parliaments based on vote share, introduced by the military, means it remains unclear how many seats each party will ultimately have. The BBC's South East Asia correspondent Jonathan Head explains the complexities around what just happened in Thailand. Why is it taking so long to get answers? In previous Thai elections, the results came through more quickly and clearly. This time the EC had problems tabulating results from the 350 constituencies. On Sunday there were some crazy figures from a few. The voter turnout announced also seemed far too low at 65%. The EC abruptly stopped publishing numbers after the vote, failed to clarify the next day, blamed the media when its own data was suspect, and had some inconsistent statistics even when giving a final vote count on Thursday. It announced that, with 100% of the votes, counted; It isn't clear why the EC, with a very large budget and plenty of time, had these problems. It briefly mentioned hacking attacks on its servers on Sunday. But the inconsistencies - now raising the turnout to nearly 75% - have raised concern that the count is being manipulated, with a petition calling for the commission to be dismissed getting more than 800,000 signatures. The only international group able to monitor the election has been highly critical of the EC's poor performance. Who looks most likely to form a government? The new government will not be formed until the results are certified by 9 May, giving time for the EC to investigate alleged violations of election laws, and even to re-run the election in some areas, if needed. A vote in both houses of parliament for the next prime minister is expected within a few weeks after that. The betting has always been that Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha would keep his job, because the military-drafted constitution allows the 250-seat senate - appointed by the junta - to vote for a prime minister. But the unofficial results show a possible majority of seats in the lower house for a seven-party opposition coalition, led by the pro-Thaksin Pheu Thai. Whereas the pro-military Palang Pracha Rath is some way short of a majority. That means even if Gen Prayuth wins the vote for PM, his government could be paralysed in parliament. There is furious behind-the-scenes bargaining for support from the non-committed parties, like Bhum Jai Thai, with its valuable block of 50+ seats. Were the elections fair? ANFREL, the international monitoring group, has stopped short of labelling this election \"not free and fair\". But it is highly critical of the advantages given to the incumbent military government, of poor voter information and restrictions on freedom of expression. Many Thais suspect there was some rigging of the election, but no real evidence of this has been produced. Despite many reported irregularities, experienced election watchers here believe the published results probably reflect the broad preferences of Thai voters. The Election Commission has lost a lot of credibility, and will be watched closely in the coming weeks, to see how fairly it deals with complaints, and how it allocates the 150 proportional party list seats. It has not said what method it will use, and different methods make a critical difference, one giving the opposition a majority, the other leaving it two seats short. Will Thais accept the results? Many younger Thais have expressed bitter disappointment over the strong performance of Palang Pracha Rath. In the rural north-east, die-hard Pheu Thai/Thaksin supporters have been dismayed by their own party's much weaker performance. Much now depends on the next six weeks. As things stand the anti-military coalition believes it commands a majority in the lower house, and while it cannot outvote Gen Prayuth for the prime minister's job, it can stop him governing. Its supporters believe the election has given them a mandate at least to stop the military from continuing to rule the country, and to force a different compromise. If the EC makes significant changes to the current seat estimates, either through the way it calculates the party list seats or through disqualifications for infractions of electoral regulations, expect some public outcry. Likewise, if the pro-military side persuades MPs to defect from the other side, to block a possible opposition majority, there could also be public anger. But few people believe there will be a repeat of the street protests and violence of previous years. Thais are, by and large, disillusioned by what those protests produced. There are new political forces now, which will look for different ways to express their dissent. A greater risk is the possibility of another military coup, if there is stalemate in parliament. The current army commander has hinted that the military would not support a government linked to Thaksin Shinawatra.",

But English wine is nothing new. There is archaeological evidence of Roman vineyards in Hertfordshire. The Roman writer Tacitus is believed to have written in 1 AD that England's climate was 'objectionable', and not at all suitable for growing vines. However, entries in the Domesday Book shows records of vineyards in 42 locations, and wine making continued after the Dark Ages, championed by the nobility and the Royal Family. Today, the Queen continues to endorse British wines. She chose a Ridgeview Estate wine, a sparkling wine grown using classic Champagne vines in Sussex, for her 80th birthday celebrations in 2006. Michael Roberts, chairman of English Wine Producers, said the Royal Family's interest was a coup for the country's vineyard owners. However, David Ealand, who owns Chiltern Valley Winery & Brewery, says his Oxfordshire wine has been popular with the public since the 1980s. He said: \"Since the 1950s and 60s there has been an increase in English vineyards. There's been interest in English wine since the early 1980s, what's happened is now the press have caught on. \"Recently there's been an explosion of demand for English wine.\" He started up his vineyard in 1980 at a mixed arable and pig farm in the Hambleden valley in Oxfordshire. In 2007 he was given a Royal Warrant after he had supplied the Royal Household on a regular basis for over five years. Cat Lomax is a wine buyer for Laithwaites Vineyard, and works in an office looking out on the company's vineyard in Theale, Berkshire, which has produced award-winning sparkling wine. She said: \"People do grow wines in northern climes, but it's difficult to grow grapes. \"The best place is probably the Sussex Downs.

It is the largest Arctic iceberg to calve since 1962, said Prof Andreas Muenchow of the University of Delaware. The ice could become frozen in place over winter or escape into the waters between Greenland and Canada. If the iceberg moves south, it could interfere with shipping, Prof Muenchow said. Cracks in the Petermann Glacier had been observed last year and it was expected that an iceberg would calve from it soon. The glacier is 1,000 km (620 miles) south of the North Pole. A researcher at the Canadian Ice Service detected the calving from Nasa satellite images taken early on Thursday, the professor said. The images showed that Petermann Glacier lost about one-quarter of its 70km-long (43-mile) floating ice shelf. There was enough fresh water locked up in the ice island to \"keep all US public tap water flowing for 120 days,\" said Prof Muenchow. He said it was not clear if the event was due to global warming. Patrick Lockerby, a UK engineer with a background in material science, told the BBC he had predicted the calve on 22 July, posting images on the science2.0 website. \"I was watching the floating ice tongue wedged between two walls of a fjord for three quarters if its length with the last part at the outlet end wedged by sea ice. I thought once the sea ice was gone, the pressure would be too great and the tongue would calve.\" He said there could be a beneficial outcome if the calving drifts to block the Nares Strait and effectively prevents the loss of more ice from the Lincoln Sea.

            "input": "They are taking the government to the European Court of Human Rights in a bid to end the system of male primogeniture which has resulted in almost all titles being passed to male heirs. Lawyers argue they face discrimination on the grounds of their gender. The group accuse the government of \"double standards\" because it promotes women's rights. The woman involved in the case are: Lady Willa Franks, eldest daughter of the Earl of Balfour; Lady Eliza Dundas, eldest daughter of the Earl of Ronaldshay; Sarah Long, elder sister to the current Viscount Long of Wraxall; Tanya Field, eldest daughter of the Earl of Macclesfield, and Hatta Byng, eldest daughter of Viscount Torrington. Under the principle of male primogeniture, sons, nephews and uncles take precedence over daughters, nieces and aunts when a title is passed on to the next generation. The five women, who are part of the Daughters' Rights campaign, want the UK government to remove the word \"male\" from legislation they describe as \"outdated\" so they can stand for by-elections to the Lords. There are about 800 members of the House of Lords, the upper house of Parliament. The House of Lords Act 1999 saw most hereditary peers lose their right to a seat, but 92 still sit in the chamber and when their positions become vacant a successor is elected. While some hereditary titles can be inherited by women because of the rules surrounding the way they were originally created, all but one of 92 current hereditary peers are male. The Daughters' Rights campaign says the system breaches Article 14 of the European Convention on Human Rights, when taken alongside Article 3 of the First Protocol, the right to a free election. Downton Abbey law New rules on royal succession came into force in 2015 to remove male bias, meaning that Princess Charlotte is currently fourth in line to the throne. In 2013 the Equality (Titles) Bill was introduced in the Lords with a view to allowing for equal succession of female heirs to hereditary titles and peerages but it was voted down. That proposed change became known as the Downton Abbey law after the ITV drama series carried a storyline where the Earl of Grantham's title passed to a distant relative he had never met, instead of one of his three daughters. UK courts do not have oversight over the rules governing parliamentary procedure. Solicitor Paul Hardy, from law firm DLA Piper which is bringing the case, said the application to the European Court of Human Rights \"raises profound questions about sexual equality and membership of the House of Lords\". The barrister for the campaign, Edward Legard, said: \"It seems wrong in a country where women, including now royal women, are born with equal opportunities, that we continue to discriminate against one group based only on gender.\"",

It added the UK still supported the Iranian nuclear deal - that Mr Trump ditched in 2018. A spokeswoman said: \"The UK has an ongoing diplomatic dialogue with Iran. \"At this time of increased regional tensions and at a crucial period for the future of the nuclear deal, this visit is an opportunity for further open, frank and constructive engagement with the government of Iran. \"Dr Murrison will call for urgent de-escalation in the region and raise UK and international concerns about Iran's regional conduct and its threat to cease complying with the nuclear deal, to which the UK remains fully committed.\" It comes as reports said the US launched a cyber-attack on Iranian weapons systems on Thursday. According to the Washington Post, the attack disabled computer systems controlling rocket and missile launchers. The New York Times said it was in retaliation for Iran's shooting down of the US drone and attacks on oil tankers that the US has blamed Iran for. Former Labour Foreign Secretary David Miliband said the UK should be \"very worried\" about the \"real prospect of a war\". Speaking on the BBC's Andrew Marr Show, he said such a conflict would become a \"contagion across the region\". \"There are people in the senior reaches in the US administration who want a war with Iran, and there are people on the Iranian side who are itching to get at the Americans too. \"A war between US and Iran would not be restricted to the US and Iran,\" he concluded. Tensions have been escalating between the Iran and the US after Mr Trump unilaterally pulled out of a 2015 nuclear deal aimed at curbing Iran's nuclear activities. Iran shot down the unmanned aircraft on Thursday morning. Washington and Tehran dispute whether it was in international airspace at the time. The shooting down of the drone followed accusations by the US that Iran had attacked two oil tankers with mines last Thursday just outside the Strait of Hormuz, in the Gulf of Oman. The president said he called off the air strikes after being told 150 Iranians would be killed. Speaking to NBC on Friday, President Trump said the US was open to talks with Iran but would not allow it to develop nuclear weapons.

The council currently recycles more than 85,000 tonnes of rubbish a year, but it has to find ways of recycling an extra 32,000 tonnes in future. \"The 'do nothing' option is not an option for Cardiff,\" warns Marie Rosenthal, county clerk and council monitoring officer, in her report to the council's environment committee on Tuesday. \"If no further changes are made to the council recycling services delivery, the fines between now and 2020 could equate to over £21m.\" Waste managers say nearly half of what ends up in black bags or bins in Cardiff could \"be easily recycled\". Mr Derbyshire said the council is looking at different ways to improve recycling rates, including consultations with residents about the best ways to get more people involved and restricting the amount of non-recyclable waste people can throw away. It is believed the only way to get residents to recycle more is to cut the frequency of general waste collections - it is currently every fortnight - or limit the number of bags or size of bin. The council might have to consider bringing in unpopular kerbside sorting recycling - where residents separate the different types of material - which a survey found fewer than 4% of people were in favour of. Tougher EU regulations are also coming in in this area. Councillors will discuss the outline waste strategy for the next three years on Tuesday.",

Bosses said coronavirus had caused a \"catastrophic impact\" on the business. Significant changes to projects such as Crossrail and the Northern Line extension also hindered TfL's budgets. TfL published its first quarterly financial results (Q1) on Thursday which has reviewed its cash flow from 1 April until 27 June. The report by TfL chief finance officer Simon Kilonback and group finance director Tony King, said the first quarter of the year had been \"the most challenging for TfL in its history\". They added: \"The coronavirus pandemic has had a catastrophic impact on our organisation, with the loss of life of a number of our colleagues, a severe decline in passenger numbers and significant changes to our operations and project delivery. \"The ongoing uncertainty on the spread of the virus, which may impact future government guidance on travel, and the impact of the pandemic on the UK economy makes forecasting and budgeting even more difficult.\" Lockdown restrictions were cited as the reason for brands cancelling contracts as the \"advertising audience was removed\". It meant TfL only took in £3m in advertising revenue in the first three financial months - in comparison to the previous quarter, 1 January to 31 March, when advertising revenue was £47m. The report added: \"We have recently started to see audiences return, and there has been some upward movement in advertising income. \"We are working closely with our advertising partners to ensure that, as the audience returns safely to London in line with emerging government advice, we are in a position to support the return of brands to our network and rebuild our revenue streams as soon as possible.\" The report also showed TfL took £32m from the government's furlough scheme for 6,542 employees - around a quarter of its workforce. In reaction to the pandemic in March, TfL had to scale back services on the London Underground, close dozens of Tube stations and change the way key workers boarded buses. An emergency £1.6bn bailout was agreed with the government in May, but TfL said in its financial report it had to use £600m of cash reserves in the first eight weeks of the outbreak. The bailout \"was subject to a number of conditions\", the report said, \"including maximising revenues, minimising costs, investing in walking and cycling schemes through the new Streetspace for London plan, and an accelerated ramping up of services back to normal levels earlier than planned\". The current government bailout will help support TfL's finances until 17 October.",

            "input": "The government said a special presidential directive had ordered the immediate dissolution of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (Sars). Protests against the squad were sparked by a video of a man allegedly being killed by police. The demonstrations have intensified despite a crackdown and have spread outside the country. What does the directive say? All the officers in the Sars squad - widely accused of unlawful arrests, torture and murder - are to be redeployed, the presidency said, and a new arrangement to replace the squad is being worked on. Meanwhile, Nigeria's chief of police said a team of investigators - including civil society organisations and human rights bodies - would be set up to investigate alleged abuses by Sars. President Muhammadu Buhari had earlier said he was determined to end police brutality, introduce reforms and bring \"erring personnel... to justice\". Protesters had demanded the unit be disbanded rather than reformed because previous commitments to change police behaviour had had no effect. At first glance this seems like exactly what the protestors were calling for: the closure of the dreaded Special Anti Robbery Squad which has been accused of widespread rights abuses for years. But there are worrying signs. The dissolution of Sars come came with one important specification: the officers from the controversial police unit will be redeployed. It's unclear where to. That's crucial because although the protest started off as a call to disband Sars, it has expanded to include the wider Nigerian police force. Activists were quick to point out that the abuses carried out during the protests, including beatings, intimidation and the disproportionate use of force against demonstrators, were all carried out by policemen who did not belong to Sars. For them, what's needed is a total overhaul of policing in Nigeria. It's also unclear whether any officers will be prosecuted for past abuses, something rights group Amnesty has said is crucial to ensure justice for the alleged victims. How have the protests spread? BBC correspondents in Nigeria say clashes between anti-Sars protestors and policemen have been growing. Multiple eyewitnesses told the BBC they were beaten by police officers, as well as seeing others being attacked during protests on Sunday morning, Nigeria correspondent Mayeni Jones said. A young woman who had strayed from the crowd at one protest told the BBC she had been beaten by 10 policemen who broke her glasses. A BBC reporter was also stopped by the police and her mobile phone broken by an officer. Meanwhile the hashtag #EndSARS has been trending in Nigeria and globally, with demonstrations spreading to the UK and Canada. Celebrities including the Nigerian superstars Wizkid and Davido, as well as British-Nigerian Star Wars actor John Boyega, have backed the protests on social media. On Sunday protesters including Wizkid gathered in central London. Addressing the crowd he said the successful protest movement showed a \"new Nigeria\" where people would not be \"scared to speak our mind again\". \"Nigerian youth don't let anyone tell you you don't have a voice. We have achieved our goal - but this is just the beginning,\" he said. How did Sars operate? The latest round of protests were prompted by footage of officers pulling two men out of a hotel in Lagos into the street and shooting one of them. The footage, leaked to the media, provoked outrage and led many to share stories of brutality attributed to the unit, which has developed notoriety for unduly profiling young people, the BBC's Nduka Orjinmo in Abuja says. Those considered \"flashy\" often attract the Sars officers' attention and very few walk away without having to hand over money, while others are arrested or jailed on trumped-up charges and some have been killed, our correspondent adds. Earlier this year rights group Amnesty said it had documented at least 82 cases of torture, ill treatment and extra-judicial execution between January 2017 and May this year. The victims were mainly men aged between 18 and 35 from poor backgrounds and vulnerable groups. Many of those tortured were beaten with sticks and machetes and denied medical attention, the group said. The \"systemic use of torture... points to an absolute disregard for international human rights laws and standards\", Amnesty said. Why didn't reform work? The #EndSARS hashtag was first thought to have been used in 2018, but it emerged once again a week ago. There have been earlier attempts to reform the notorious squad. In 2018 Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo ordered that its management and activities be overhauled. Then last year, a specially formed Presidential Panel on the Reform of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad recommended reforms along with the dismissal and prosecution of named officers accused of abusing Nigerians. At the time, President Buhari gave the head of police three months to work out how to implement the recommendations, but critics say little changed.",

This was despite more people needing help, because of the ageing population. Ministers said they were taking measures to address the problems. But the report goes on to highlight the growing numbers left with no care or having to pay for support themselves. The report has been released on the day the BBC publishes an online guide to care, which details the costs people face wherever they live in the UK.

Around the UK The future of care Useful links The think tanks carried out interviews with people working in the service and being cared for, as well as analysing existing data during their review. They found: The report also warned that the cuts by councils were a risk to the future of the market. It said it was only a matter of time before a care provider - most services are provided by outside agencies - collapsed, and it noted that providers had walked away from council contracts in 59 local authority areas. Bruce Moore, chief executive of Housing and Care, a large home care provider which is looking to sell the contracts it has, said councils had driven down fees so much he could no longer recruit and retain the staff he needed. \"The local authority market is really under pressure at the moment.\" The review said such pressures were likely to continue, claiming the funding outlook for the coming years was \"bleak\" and ministers needed to reform the system or be honest with the public that government-funded care was extremely limited. But the government said it was investing in the care system. A £5bn pot of money has been set aside to encourage joint work between the NHS and care sector, with an additional £1.5bn being added to that by 2019, and councils have been allowed to increase council tax by 2% a year to invest in care services. A Department of Health official added: \"We understand the social care system is under pressure, and this government is committed to ensuring those in old age throughout the country can get affordable and dignified care.\" Getting by without council help Cyril Tomline has dementia and his wife of 54 years, Ann, a former district councillor, cares for him with help from their family, who live nearby, and some paid-for support. \"We are lucky, we own our own property.

She could not be discharged, because the council could not provide anyone to help both her and her husband. Once again, her family stepped in, and she has now been able to start caring for Mr Tomline again. \"I became very depressed.,\" she recalls, \"very, very depressed, very weepy.\" \"And that's not my nature. That's not my nature. I just felt nobody cared.\" Ray James, of the Association of Directors of Adult Social Services, said councils simply did not have enough money. \"We're now at a tipping point where social care is in jeopardy,\" he said. \"Unless the government addresses the chronic underfunding of the sector, there will be worrying consequences.\" Caroline Abrahams, of Age UK, said: \"Social care is in serious trouble, and this is putting the health and dignity of today's older people at risk. \"Today's reports highlight the need for serious reform to a system that is being starved of the cash and the attention that it deserves.\" Read more from Nick Follow Nick on Twitter",

            "input": "By Philippa RoxbyHealth reporter, BBC News That's hardly surprising when you consider that the average worker in Britain spends 54 minutes commuting each day. This important and ever-increasing chunk of the working week doesn't come without its costs - and they are not just financial. According to the Office for National Statistics, feelings of happiness, life satisfaction and the sense that one's activities are worthwhile all decrease with every successive minute of travel to work. This is what constitutes personal wellbeing and, in general, the longer the commute the more it shrinks. Lengthy commutes, between an hour and an hour-and-a-half long, have the most negative effect on personal wellbeing, the ONS research found, while taking the bus to work on a journey lasting more than 30 minutes was the commuting option most likely to give us the grumps. The 2011 census tells us that 7.2% of working people in England and Wales travel by bus or coach to work, compared to 5% by train and 3.8% by underground or tram. The large majority, 59%, drive or get a lift in a car or van. In an ideal world, commuting should not affect psychological health because it is a choice. Commuting journeys increase because people move out of towns and cities to find better housing, more green space and a higher standard of living. Professor Jenny Roberts, from the University of Sheffield, has researched how wellbeing is affected by changes in commuting times by tracking 7,000 men and 7,000 women over 13 years. In contrast, the ONS report is based on a one-off survey of more than 60,000 people in employment between 2012 and 2013. She discovered, in her paper published in the Journal of Health Economics, that women were adversely affected by commuting, while men were not, despite the fact that women in general commute less and work shorter hours. This was after accounting for income, job satisfaction and housing quality. So why are women more sensitive to time spent commuting? \"The only reason we could come up with was trip-chaining,\" Prof Roberts explains. \"Women tend to make more interim stops on their journey, via the nursery or the school or the shops, so they have less flexibility and do more multiple activities. This adds stress to commuting.\" Commuting affects wellbeing because of the link between stress and mental health, which is well established. The stress is caused by a lack of control during commuting, caused by delayed trains, traffic jams and unpredictable weather, for example. Research also shows that boredom and social isolation among commuters can lead to unhappiness. However, some commuters do find positives in the daily commute because it gives them time to work and read or simply wind down. 'Extreme commuting' is becoming more common and the ONS research suggests that a commute time of three hours of more is often a happier experience than shorter journeys. This may be because these extra-long journeys are a positive lifestyle choice for extreme commuters, who tend to have a higher average income, and are able to use their travel time more productively as a result. Those who cycle or walk to work have the advantage of knowing that physical activity improves wellbeing, but the ONS research says that cycling to work can also be a stressful experience. This is particularly true if commuters cycle because of a lack of other options or on a route through heavy traffic. In the end, the psychological health of commuters is important because everybody commutes, but we are often reluctant to analyse how we do it, says Prof Rogers. \"Do people really make that calculation when moving out to a suburban house of how much time, how much income it's going to cost and how it's going to affect their mental health?\"",
            "output": [
                "The daily commute to work is something to be put up with rather than enjoyed, yet how we get there and how long it takes has an impact on how we feel."

The measurement puts 68% of those in families where no-one works in poverty and 9% in families where adults work full-time. The government said it offered \"further insight\" into a \"complex\" issue. It currently measures poverty by looking at a person's income compared with the rest of the country, and compares present incomes with salaries earlier in the decade to see how they have changed over time. The SMC says as well as costs, the new measure takes into account the positive impact of access to liquid assets, such as savings. It also takes steps to include groups of people who have been left out of poverty statistics before, such as those living on the streets or in overcrowded housing. The organisation has developed the measure over the last two-and-a-half years. Chair of the SMC, Baroness Philippa Stroud, said groups needed to come together when looking at how to measure poverty. \"The need for an independent commission was clear,\" she said. \"For too long it has been possible to have a debate about the measurement of poverty. \"Now I call on people and organisations across, and outside of, the political spectrum to support this new measure of poverty so that we can all put our energy into creating the policies and solutions that build pathways out of poverty.\" UK variations The latest study from the SMC shows there are 2.5 million people in the UK who are less than 10% above the poverty line, which means small changes in circumstances could see them fall below it. But the SMC said there was good news from their metrics too, with far fewer pensioners living in poverty than was previously thought thanks to a \"significant fall\" in pensioner poverty over the last 15 years.

The force, which has released updated figures, also had to deal with 122 different groups gathering to play sports, 173 more gatherings in parks and 112 incidents of anti-social behaviour and public disorder. Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham said such behaviour was \"completely unacceptable\". \"They are putting everybody at risk,\" he said. \"The vast majority of people in Greater Manchester are observing the guidelines, but we cannot have a situation where we've got people flouting the rules. \"If you are going out and about you are putting at risk the most vulnerable members of our community and you need to have a good hard look at yourself.\" The region's deputy mayor for policing and crime, Beverley Hughes, said the number coronavirus-related incidents had risen considerably. Officers responded to about 500 callouts a day last weekend, she said. However, she said calls for enforcement for businesses not complying with the rules had fallen. Mr Hopkins said: \"We understand the desire people will have to spend time with family and friends over the Easter period, however it is vital that we follow the government guidelines. \"The single most important action we can take in fighting coronavirus is to stay at home in order to save lives.\"",

The survey of 2,500 adults found people over 50 were more confident about their ability to keep up at work than their younger counterparts, while also feeling more secure about their skills. Aviva urged employers to do more to help this age group, such as allowing workers to do flexitime as well as help on retirement finances. The state pension age is set to rise to 68 by 2037 as people live longer. The survey found that around 40% of those over 50 were extending their working lives due to rising living costs or because they did not have sufficient pension savings.

It could mean that more state schools switch from the long six week summer holidays. The Department for Education said terms should be decided by \"heads and teachers who know their parents and pupils best\". Head teachers warned that parents with children in different schools would still expect local schools to agree common dates so that families could plan holidays together. Schools can already vary the shape of the school day, but from September 2015 they will also be able to change the length of their terms. Labour's education spokesman Stephen Twigg announced last month that a future Labour government would extend these academy flexibilities to all state schools. It means that both the coalition government and opposition are pushing for greater powers to be devolved to individual schools. Summer holidays The plans put forward in the Deregulation Bill would mean that schools that are not academies would not have to accept the term dates set by local authorities. A majority of secondary schools are now academies, but most primary schools have not adopted academy status - so this would represent an extra level of flexibility for them. They would still have to operate within a legal limit of a minimum of 190 school days each year. The Department for Education gave examples of how this might be applied. In Leeds, the David Young Community Academy has a year of seven shorter terms and holidays that are not longer than four weeks. The Boulevard Academy in Hull is going to cut the summer holiday from six weeks to four weeks. \"It is right that all schools are free to set their own term dates in the interests of parents and pupils,\" said a spokesman for the Department for Education. Head teachers' leader Brian Lightman said: \"Most schools choose to follow the local authority calendar because they know that it's better for parents who have children in different schools and teachers who want their holidays to coincide with their children's. \"The problem will come if no one is responsible for creating a co-ordinated calendar for an area and it turns into a free for all. \"Somebody needs to take the lead locally on deciding term dates and it makes sense for this to be the local authority, even if schools aren't required by law to follow it,\" said Mr Lightman, general secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders. Stephen Twigg, shadow education secretary, said: \"Labour announced this very policy two weeks ago. While I'm glad Michael Gove has finally done something sensible and has picked up on one of our ideas he needs to go much further to reverse his plans which are letting down our children.\"",

A warrant has now been issued for bailiffs to seize Greater Anglia (GA) property after it failed to pay him £350 compensation. GA confirmed it was in a legal dispute with Mr Pochin but could not comment. Mr Pochin, an ecologist, who moved to Halesworth a year ago, said he was considering moving to Ipswich to avoid the delays, which he claims added up to almost 28 hours over 12 months. Between February 2017 and February 2018, he made 550 journeys and recorded 183 delays. According to his figures, the majority of trains were between one and 10 minutes late. Mr Pochin said 26 journeys were late by more than 15 minutes, with the 100-minute delay on a journey last August. GA has a delay-repay scheme, paying out compensation for journeys more than 30 minutes late. Mr Pochin, who corresponded regularly with the firm about the quality of the service, said the 100-minute delay was the last straw. Using the Consumer Rights Act 2016, he paid £35 to lodge a case at a small claims court \"to highlight the regular deficiencies with the service\". Judgement ruling In September, Mr Pochin and the rail company both agreed to mediation to resolve the matter. But after GA failed to provide dates to meet, Mr Pochin applied for a judgement ruling, which he won in December, and the train operator was ordered to pay him £350. In February, after failing to get this money, Mr Pochin paid £77 for a warrant to be served on GA to seize assets worth £350. The courts and tribunal service confirmed a warrant had been issued against GA, which will now have to pay the sum or face the bailiffs. GA admitted 23% of delays were \"directly attributable to Greater Anglia due to incidents such as train faults\". A spokeswoman said the lines Mr Pochin travels on were being upgraded by Network Rail in a £68m scheme \"to make the train service more reliable\". The legislation Mr Pochin used gives rail passengers the same legal protection they receive when paying for other goods and services. \"Hopefully, this case will result in train operators making compensation for delays easier to get,\" Stephen Joseph, of the Campaign for Better Transport said. \"However, passengers in general don't want compensation, they want trains that run on time.\" You may also be interested in:",

            "input": "By Lucy TownsendBBC News Magazine Murder happens a lot less in real life than on television. There were 636 killings in England and Wales in 2010-11 - that equates to 11.5 for every one million people - or a rate of 0.00115%. The figure of 636 includes both murder and manslaughter. Every year about 65% of these killings lead to a conviction. Of that two-thirds, between 57-62% end with a conviction for murder. The results of many cases from 2010-11 are still being collated, but one would expect a final figure of about 247 resolved murders from the total of 636 . It's a lower figure than many might guess. \"People get it wildly wrong,\" says Crispian Strachan, former chief constable of Northumbria Police and now a tutor at the Cambridge Institute of Criminology. \"It's not surprising really. There is so much murder on television, in books, in films, and in the news, that people fear it more than they should.\" The latest series of tongue-in-cheek detective show Midsomer Murders is drawing to a close. The murder rate in the fictional county of Midsomer has been estimated at 32 per million, in excess of the England and Wales figures. In Murder, She Wrote, Jessica Fletcher's sleepy home town of Cabot Cove has a rate of 1,490 murders per million. And it's not just the sheer volume of fictional murders on television but their nature that diverges from reality. Of the 2010-11 killings in England and Wales, 435 were male and 201 were female, with 36 of the victims being children under the age of 16 killed by a parent or step-parent. The most at-risk age group is historically children under one year old - 18 were killed that year. Over three quarters of female victims knew the main suspect - 157 in total. Of those, 94 (47% of the total of 201) were suspected to have been killed by a partner or ex-partner. Of the 435 male victims, 249 knew the main suspect. A mere 21 were suspected to have been killed by a partner or ex-partner. But 183 were thought to have been killed by a friend or acquaintance. The kind of \"whodunit\" type of murder shown on television is not the norm. Shows like Dexter, Wire in the Blood, Cracker, Messiah and even CSI depict serial killers and \"stranger\" murders generally with a regularity far from reality. \"There is a huge fear of stranger murders, which is completely wrong and unrepresentative of real life,\" says Strachan. \"The other thing is that fictional detectives let the bodies rack up. Morse once allowed six murders to take place in the time he was investigating one - if that was real life he would have been replaced by someone who could actually do the job.\" Dramatic works have always been full of depictions of murder. Think of Hamlet. But Shakespeare's Titus Andronicus is even more violent. In his essay on the play, Professor Clarke Hulse counts \"14 killings, nine of them on stage, six severed members, one rape (or two or three, depending on how you count), one live burial, one case of insanity and one of cannibalism - an average of 5.2 atrocities per act, or one for every 97 lines\". English theatre audiences were once notorious for their gory relish in onstage deaths. But by the early 20th Century popular murder fiction had taken on a more genteel feel. Detectives like Poirot and Miss Marple solved murders in a much more elegant fashion - often over tea and crumpets. And there were detectives who didn't always trade in murder. Of the first 12 Sherlock Holmes short stories, only three revolve around murders. But now death seems to dominate. In a paper printed in the British Medical Journal, Tim Crayford, Richard Hooper and Sarah Evans reported that the mortality rate for characters in the television soap operas Coronation Street and EastEnders exceeded those of bomb disposal experts and racing drivers. Deaths were generally violent, and recently introduced characters had a five-year survival rate. Vivienne Pattison is director of Mediawatch UK, a campaign group that fights for \"family values\" in the media, and against graphic violence. But even she says murder has a role to play. \"I don't think there's anything wrong with the subject being covered on television per se, it's how it's dealt with,\" she says. \"There is clearly a huge amount of difference between the treatment of murder in say The Killing - which invites the viewer to solve the case, EastEnders - which usually looks at motivation and the emotional fallout from the event, and the Saw franchise - the films of which are little more than gore fests of torture porn. \"The latter I do consider to be more problematic as they remove the humanity of the victims and so the death itself becomes entertainment.\" Murder stories will always enthral - whether through their dramatic horror or the thrill of piecing together the jigsaw. And while they may play a part in people's heightened fears and misconceptions, they still have a place in the dramatic canon. \"It's really a very strange literary and filmic form if you think about it,\" says crime writer Andrew Taylor. \"We all live in this terrifying world. It's quite nice to feel afraid vicariously and then have it all tied up neatly at the end. It's a bit like inoculation.\"",

            "input": "By Lucy AshBBC News At a cadet school in the southern suburbs of Moscow, Maj Gen Alexander Vladimirov heaves two enormous red volumes off his bookcase and slams them down on the table. \"My Theory and Science of Warfare,\" he says, beaming. \"It's three times longer than Leo Tolstoy's War and Peace!\" Vladimirov, vice-president of Russia's Collegium of Military Experts, is an authority on maskirovka - the hallmark of Russian warfare and a word which translates as \"something masked\". \"As soon as man was born, he began to fight,\" he says. \"When he began hunting, he had to paint himself different colours to avoid being eaten by a tiger. From that point on maskirovka was a part of his life. All human history can be portrayed as the history of deception.\" Vladimirov quotes liberally from the Roman general Frontinus and the ancient Chinese philosopher Sun Tzu who described war as an eternal path of cunning. But it's Russia, he tells me, with unmistakable pride, that has over the centuries really honed these techniques to perfection. One of the most famous examples is the Battle of Kulikovo Field in 1380, when the young Muscovite, Prince Dmitry Donskoy, and 50,000 Russian warriors fought against 150,000 Tatar-Mongolian soldiers led by Khan Mamai. It was the first time the Slavs were fighting as a united army - Russia against the Golden Horde. \"The fighting was very tough, but we eventually triumphed thanks to one regiment hiding in the forest,\" says Vladimirov. \"They attacked ferociously and unexpectedly and the ambushed Tatars ran away.\" But that was just a start. Vladimirov reels off some more recent legendary battles in which Russia outfoxed its enemies, with flair and cunning. There was the Jassy-Kishinev operation of August 1944, which featured dozens of dummy tanks as well as whole Red Army divisions sent in false directions to throw the Germans off the scent. And that came just after Operation Bagration in Belorussia had dealt Hitler's troops a devastating blow. \"It was clear the military skill of Soviet leaders outclassed the Germans,\" Vladimirov says. \"Our generals decided not to go the easy way along the road but through the swamps! That way they attacked the rear of the German forces. That's mastery for you! All throughout Bagration, there were colossal examples of maskirovka involving thousands of tanks and troops. After that the war was practically over.\" Out of 117 divisions and six brigades, half were destroyed and the rest suffered 50% losses - half a million Germans died there. Surprise is a key ingredient in maskirovka and the clandestine forces which occupied Crimea last February certainly delivered that. Pyotr Shelomovskiy, a Russian photojournalist, was there as they arrived. He had rushed down to Crimea expecting tensions to arise after Ukraine's Russian-backed president, Viktor Yanukovych, fled the country - and on 24 February he watched local pro-Russian activists building a small barricade on the square outside parliament. \"They started brewing tea and distributing drinks. Some journalists, myself included, were allowed to take pictures,\" says Shelomovskiy, \"and that was it for the night.\" Or so he thought. But in the small hours, unmarked military trucks drove up filled with heavily armed men. \"They ordered those demonstrators to lie face down on the ground - until they realised they were on the same side,\" says Shelomovskiy. Then they made them carry ammunition into the parliament. He was told this story by the activists the next morning. \"They didn't really understand themselves what was going on,\" he says. The troops which had arrived in the dark, as if by magic, with no insignia on their olive-coloured uniforms, were soon nicknamed \"little green men\". \"We know now these guys were Russian special forces,\" says Shelomovskiy. \"But no-one said so at the time.\" Denial is another vital component in maskirovka. At a press conference a few days later Vladimir Putin coolly batted away awkward questions about where the troops came from. \"There are many military uniforms. Go into any shop and you can find one,\" he said. But were they Russian soldiers? Poker-faced, the president said the men were local self-defence units. Five weeks later, once the annexation had been rubber-stamped by the Parliament in Moscow, Putin admitted Russian troops had been deployed in Crimea after all. But the lie had served its purpose. Maskirovka is used to wrong-foot your enemies, to keep them guessing. Maj Gen Gordon 'Skip' Davis, in charge of operations and intelligence at Nato's military HQ in Belgium, admits it took him and his colleagues some time to figure out the \"size and the scale\" of the troop reinforcement which was \"continuously denied by the Russians\". But if Nato was taken by surprise, the historian and journalist Anne Applebaum was not. \"I knew immediately what it was because it reminded me of 1945. It looked so familiar,\" she says. \"With Crimea I got a bizarre sense of deja vu, because bringing in soldiers who weren't really soldiers - that was what the NKVD did in Poland after the war. They also created fake political entities which nobody had seen before, with fake ideologies already attached to them… It's a game of smoke and mirrors.\" After Crimea came the war in eastern Ukraine. Officially there are no Russian troops or little green men fighting there either - only patriotic volunteers who have gone to the region on holiday. But there is growing evidence of Moscow's intervention in the separatist conflict including a mounting toll of Russian soldiers killed in action. In August Russian TV showed footage of water and baby food being loaded on to lorries heading for Ukraine's war zone. The Russian government called this humanitarian aid but many were more than a little suspicious. Nato already had plenty of intelligence about Russian air defence and artillery forces moving into Ukraine. Maj Gen Davis calls the first convoy \"a wonderful example of maskirovka\" because it created something of a media storm. TV crews breathlessly followed the convoy, trying to find out what was really inside the green army trucks which had been hastily repainted white. Was this a classic Trojan horse operation to smuggle weapons to rebel militias? And would the Ukrainian authorities allow the convoy in? \"All the while at other border crossing points controlled by the Russians - not by the Ukrainians - equipment, personnel and troops were passing into Eastern Ukraine,\" says Davis. He sees the convoy as a clever \"diversion or distraction\". The fog of war isn't something which just happens - it's something which can be manufactured. In this case the Western media were bamboozled, but the compliant Russian media has also worked hard to generate fog. Ukrainian novelist Andrei Kurkov says he is constantly amazed by what he calls \"the fantasy and imagination of Russian journalists\". One of the most lurid stories broadcast on a Moscow TV channel claimed that a three-year-old boy in Sloviansk - a town in eastern Ukraine with a mostly Russian-speaking population - was crucified... for speaking Russian. The TV report is still online. A blonde woman, her voice choked with emotion, tells a serious-looking Russian news reporter that the three-year-old child was nailed to a wooden notice board in front of his mother and died in agony. The mother she alleges, was then tied to a tank and dragged through the streets until she died. She adds that she is risking her life by talking but wants to protect children against Ukrainian soldiers who behave like beasts and fascists. \"The lady claimed she'd witnessed this horrible story in Sloviansk,\" says Kurkov. \"But then she mentioned the name of the square where it happened and this square doesn't exist in Sloviansk. There's no such place.\" As Kurkov says, the story doesn't stand up. It emerged that the woman eyewitness had a history of filing false police reports and her own parents said they thought she'd given the interview for money. The elements of maskirovka TV and the digital world are awash with similar reports. A group of Kiev journalism students who set up a website to expose fake stories say some approaches are more sophisticated than this, mixing truth and falsehood to produce a report that appears credible. But even an incredible story may serve to confuse, and create uncertainty. Peter Pomerantsev, who recently spent several years working on documentaries and reality shows for Russian TV, argues that Russian state media are not just distorting truth in Ukraine, they go much further, promoting a seductive nihilism. \"The Russian strategy, both at home and abroad, is to say there is no such thing as truth,\" he says. \"I mean, you know, 'The Americans are bad, we're bad, and everyone's bad, so what's the big deal about us being a bit corrupt? You know our democracy's a sham, their democracy's a sham.' \"It's a sort of cynicism that actually resonates very powerfully in the West nowadays with this lack of self-confidence after the Iraq War, after the financial crash - and that's what the Russians are hoping for, just to take that cynicism and then use that in a military environment.\" Of course, every country uses strategies of deception. Churchill famously said: \"In wartime, truth is so precious she should always be accompanied by a bodyguard of lies.\" The Americans call such tactics CC&D - concealment, camouflage and deception. So what sets Russia apart? Maj Gen Skip Davis argues Western forces are sometimes economical with the truth but says they don't tell outright lies: \"We are talking about denial of information - in other words, not confirming facts - versus blatantly denying. Saying, 'No that's not us invading, that's not our forces there, that's someone else's.'\" But what about the false information that propelled Britain and the US into war with Iraq? Few would now deny that the facts on WMD were massaged in a maskirovka-type way. The word Davis keeps coming back to is \"mindset\". He insists maskirovka has become a modus operandi for Russia itself. \"I think that there is an alignment between what probably started out as military doctrine, but now is much more a part of state policy and there's an alignment between the strategic down to the tactical level in terms of the mindset of maskirovka.\" This perception is nothing new for Russia's neighbours. A decade ago Andrei Kurkov predicted recent events in Ukraine in his book, The President's Last Love. He writes in Russian and most of his books are on sale there but this one was stopped at the border. \"Putin is one of the main characters,\" he says. \"In this book he promises the Ukrainian president that he will annex Crimea and cut the gas supply and lots of other things that later became reality - this is the reason why the book is banned.\" Isn't it uncanny that he managed such accurate predictions? \"I don't think it was difficult - somehow when you live in a not very logical world, when the logic of absurdity prevails and the players don't evolve - it's actually quite simple.\" Maskirovka: Deception Russian Style was broadcast as part of the Analysis series on BBC Radio 4 - listen to the programme on BBC iPlayer or download the podcast.

The tongue-in-cheek Ig Nobel awards for \"improbable research\" have become almost as famous as the real Nobels. Other research lauded at the Igs ceremony included proof that germs tend to cling to bearded scientists. Other slightly wacky science celebrated at the US ceremony included research that proved the symptoms of asthma could be treated by riding on a roller-coaster and wearing socks outside your shoes could reduce your chances of slipping on an ice path. Dr Acevedo-Whitehouse, of the Zoological Society of London, was present at the Sanders Theater at Harvard University, US, to receive her award. Colleagues Agnes Rocha-Gosselin and Diane Gendron were also there. Not to put it too finely, the trio collect \"whale snot\". They hang petri dishes under a mini-chopper and fly the vehicle over a surfacing whale just as it evacuates its blow-hole. The exhaled gases and mucus blast the dishes which are then taken back to the lab to study the disease-causing micro-organisms carried by the animals. The remarkable method of obtaining the samples was featured in the BBC series Oceans. You can see how it is done by watching the video at the top of this page. Dr Acevedo-Whitehouse told BBC News she was delighted to receive the spoof honour: \"I was slightly bemused at first, to be honest, but I think that it is important to recognize (and communicate) that science can be fun. My colleagues and I are actually quite proud to receive this award now. Beyond the actual results (which are actually very interesting) we certainly have had fun doing our whale-snot research!\" This was the 21st Ig Nobel ceremony. The awards are run by the science humour magazine Annals of Improbable Research. They are supposed to \"first make people laugh, and then make them think\". All the research, bar some special prizes, is real and published in bona fide academic journals. As part of the fun, the prizes are also handed over by genuine Nobel Laureates. As usual, UK-based scientists featured heavily among the winning teams. \"Usually when you are an eccentric, you get punished. But in Britain, if you are an eccentric, you're kind of celebrated,\" awards organiser Marc Abrahams told BBC News. The full list of winners: Engineering Prize: Karina Acevedo-Whitehouse (UK) and colleagues for perfecting a method to collect whale snot, using a remote-control helicopter. Medicine Prize: Simon Rietveld (Netherlands) and colleagues for discovering that symptoms of asthma can be treated with a roller-coaster ride. Transportation Planning Prize: Toshiyuki Nakagaki (Japan) and colleagues for using slime mould to determine the optimal routes for railroad tracks. Physics Prize: Lianne Parkin (New Zealand) and colleagues for demonstrating that, on icy footpaths in wintertime, people slip and fall less often if they wear socks on the outside of their shoes. Peace Prize: Richard Stephens (UK) and colleagues for confirming the widely held belief that swearing relieves pain. Public health Prize: Manuel Barbeito (US) and colleagues for determining by experiment that microbes cling to bearded scientists. Economics Prize: Awarded to the executives and directors of Goldman Sachs, AIG, Lehman Brothers, Bear Stearns, Merrill Lynch, and Magnetar for creating and promoting new ways to invest money — ways that maximize financial gain and minimize financial risk for the world economy, or for a portion thereof. Chemistry Prize: Eric Adams (US) and colleagues for disproving the old belief that oil and water don't mix. The research, supported by BP, was published under the title: \"Review of Deep Oil Spill Modeling Activity Supported by the Deep Spill JIP and Offshore Operator's Committee\".

He said Russia remained open to consultations, but the EU had failed to come up with specific solutions. Mr Putin's letter follows similar comments by Gazprom boss Alexei Miller. Mr Miller said on Monday that the state energy giant could halt natural gas shipments to Ukraine on 3 June unless the country pays in advance for supplies. \"Given the circumstances, the Russian company has issued an advance invoice for gas deliveries to Ukraine, which is completely in accordance with the contract, and after June 1 gas deliveries will be limited to the amount prepaid by the Ukrainian company,'' Mr Putin said in his letter, which was released by the Kremlin on Thursday. Higher charges Ukraine has refused to cover its obligations in protest over Moscow's decision to nearly double the price it charges Kiev for gas imports. Ukraine's Finance Minister, Oleksandr Shlapak, said on Monday that his country was willing to cover its outstanding payment as soon as Russia lowered its price. He said Ukraine was prepared to issue bonds worth $2.16bn to address its gas arrears. \"If Russia extends the old price of $268 per 1,000 cubic metres [until] the end of the year, we will immediately cover the debt,\" the UNIAN news agency quoted Mr Shlapak as saying. Gazprom now charges Ukraine $485.50 per 1,000 cubic metres - the highest rate of any of its European clients. Close to 15% of all gas consumed in Europe is delivered from Russia through Ukraine. There is a danger for EU nations that Ukraine will start taking the gas Russia had earmarked for its European clients, something it did when it was cut off from Russian gas during previous disputes in 2006 and 2009.",

However, Mr Trump's visit almost immediately caused public relations problems, when he appeared later that day at a rally in Arizona. There, he told the crowd Mexico would \"100%\" pay for a planned border wall, though he told reporters he had not discussed the issue with President Pena Nieto. The president later insisted he had told Mr Trump that Mexico would not pay. In 2014, Mr Videgaray came under fire when a newspaper investigation revealed he had bought his home from a construction firm whose parent company had won major public contracts.

The local board has had to take over three other practices in north Wales in the last 18 months due to GP shortages. A doctors' leader said it was an \"emerging trend\". Practices can be run by GPs who run them as their own business or by GPs employed by health boards directly, such as three practices in north Wales which are being run by Betsi Cadwaladr health board - in Wrexham, Conwy county and Gwynedd. Earlier this year, the Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP) in Wales highlighted a \"desperate workplace crisis\" with too many GPs leaving and a slump in the young medical graduates looking to train as GPs. \"It is a crisis but there are solutions,\" said Dr Rebecca Payne, chair-elect at RCGP in Wales, referring to health boards managing practices directly. She said the Welsh government, which announced a range of proposals including an extra £4.5m towards recruitment and training, was moving in the right direction although action was needed sooner rather than later. Analysis by Owain Clarke, BBC Wales health correspondent Several GPs I've talked to describe it as a \"perfect storm\". They say they're working harder than ever - partly because they're seeing more elderly patients who often have several health problems at the same time. As demand goes up also we see increasing concern about staff shortages especially in north and west Wales and some valleys communities. It's not uncommon to hear of surgeries closing, or having to be taken over by health boards who have to employ temporary staff to keep them open. Several things are going on here. A generation of GPs are retiring - with almost a quarter of GPs in Wales aged over 55. Younger doctors often choose to stay near to where they trained at medical school or are drawn to the big cities, or even to work abroad. Meanwhile, the traditional model, where a GP or a group of GPs own and run their own surgeries, is becoming less attractive to those who don't want the burden of paper work, don't want to commit to working in one place or want to work flexibly. And, it's claimed, there's a perception that general practice isn't popular perhaps as specialist medicine or hospital care. None of these issues are confined to Wales. Yet the effect here can be more pronounced, especially when you consider Wales has a higher proportion of elderly people than many other parts of the UK with many choosing to move to rural areas to retire - the very parts of Wales where the shortages are most acute. In a joint statement with the Pendyffryn Medical Group, Betsi Cadwaladr health board said: \"The health board is responsible for making sure that people in north Wales have access to these services. \"It is therefore working closely with Pendyffryn Medical Practice to plan how their patients will continue to get the local services that they need from April 2016 onwards.\" A Welsh government spokesman said: \"We are pleased the practice is working with the health board to ensure services are maintained while new management arrangements are put in place. \"We recognise the importance of primary health care, which is why this year we have allocated £40m new funding to work together with our new Primary Care Workforce Plan.\" Geoff Ryall-Harvey, chief officer for patient watchdog the North Wales Community Health Council, said increasing numbers of salaried GPs to run practices for health boards was only one way forward and other solutions should also be indentified. He said the situation going forward at Pendyffryn Medical Group would be watched by other GPs given it was regarded as the biggest practice in north Wales.",

The PM's spokesman said safety and quality standards have to be met. No 10 said it was \"working hard\" with international partners to acquire PPE. It follows mounting criticism of the government over concerns about supply of protective gear for NHS staff. Meanwhile, an RAF aircraft left the UK on Monday for Turkey to pick up a delayed delivery of protective kit. It is due to collect 400,000 gowns. And an organisation representing UK dentists says dentists in England are facing \"critical shortages\" in personal protective equipment (PPE). The type of PPE required depends on the level of risk. Guidelines recommend that anyone working within 2m (6ft) of a confirmed or suspected Covid-19 patient should wear an apron, gloves, a surgical mask and eye protection. Clinicians carrying out tasks that could generate airborne droplets of saliva loaded with the virus should use an even higher standard of protection, including disposable gowns, filtering respirators and face-shielding visors. On Tuesday, a Downing Street spokesman said: \"We are working as hard as we can with international partners to bring PPE in and at the same time trying to increase domestic supply.\" The government had been \"very honest\" about the \"challenges in supply of PPE\", the spokesman said, and the \"problems in ensuring it gets to the right place at the right time\". The spokesman also said it was \"not true\" that the government had ignored one supplier, Veenak, saying \"they registered the offer on 5 April and would have got an immediate response\". Asked about the consignment of PPE from Turkey, which was due to arrive on Sunday, he said the government was \"continuing to work to ensure this shipment is delivered as soon as it is ready\". Earlier, Ms Reeves, a Labour shadow cabinet minister, tweeted a copy of a letter she sent to cabinet minister Michael Gove on Saturday to express concern about PPE during the coronavirus outbreak. She went on to tweet that the letter had prompted manufacturers to contact her with concerns that they had not had a response from the government. In her letter, she said there was a \"huge desire\" within the UK's textile's industry to help provide protective gear. \"It is therefore concerning that the government has not been taking advantage of this,\" she wrote. \"I was particularly concerned to hear industry fears that the government had favoured engaging with major fashion and clothing brands for the production of PPE, over companies that may have been better placed to manufacture what is needed as quickly as possible.\" Fashion retailers in the UK, including Burberry, Barbour and David Nieper, have reopened factories to help boost supplies. On Monday, Chris Hopson, chief executive of NHS Providers - which represents healthcare trusts across England - said there was \"no doubt\" some hospital trusts were already experiencing shortages of gowns. He said that while the 400,000 gowns from Turkey would be welcome, NHS staff were getting through approximately 150,000 gowns a day.",

It falls behind the national average of 69% and the government's target of 80%.

North Tyneside had the highest number of people being traced during the same period, standing at 74%. Contact tracing is considered vital to help stop the spread of the virus with the prime minister making it a legal requirement that pubs and restaurants take people's details. The new requirements were announced alongside enhanced coronavirus measures making gatherings of six or more illegal and enhanced police powers to enforce the rules. Bradford Council said in the seven days to 8 September, the infection rate in the district was 71 cases per 100,000. The authority has now brought in a team of specialist tracers but council leader Susan Hinchliffe said a lack of funding for local test and trace had hampered their efforts. She said: \"They [the government] seem to be able to find money to pay for a national test and trace but when it comes to local authorities money is still not there. \"We shouldn't be having to pay for that as a local authority which is already stretched in terms of finances.\" Contact tracing rates for the rest of Yorkshire also fall below the 80% target, including Sheffield at 52% and Hull at 54%. The government said since the system was launched in June, 358,294 people had been reached and where contact details were shared with those testing positive, 87% were traced.

            "input": "By David DeansBBC News Those debates will intensify as negotiations finally begin with the formal triggering of the UK's withdrawal from the European Union, known as Article 50, by Prime Minister Theresa May. As the process finally begins, we look at where the parties in the assembly stand. Labour There has barely been a month in which Labour First Minister Carwyn Jones has not attended a Brexit summit - disguising the little leverage Mr Jones theoretically has - given Wales voted leave and he backed remain. Regardless, after Article 50 is triggered, the Welsh Government is likely to warn the UK government about implementing anything that would mean Wales losing tariff-free access to the single market. It will want current funding levels on agriculture and EU aid to be sustained. The Welsh Government white paper in January intimated ministers believed freedom of movement - one of the pillars of membership of single market - could be kept but with the restriction that anyone who comes to the UK has a job. The Welsh Government will also argue for structures to replace EU state aid rules - which prevent public bodies giving private firms an unfair advantage - in an effort to prevent what Mr Jones has called a \"trade war\" between the devolved nations. But perhaps the biggest fight with the government will be over the distribution of post-Brexit powers among the devolved legislatures as they return from Brussels. Plaid Cymru Plaid Cymru also found itself on the losing side at the referendum - it was never going to be a cheerleader for leaving the EU. In an alternative article 50 letter, the party has called for membership of the European Economic Area and/or the European Free Trade Area - of which some countries outside of the EU that engage with the single market are members. Plaid has, alongside Labour, called for guaranteed citizenship rights for EU nationals in Wales and Welsh nationals in the EU, and will want to see continued participation in European funding programmes. The party will also be focused on what is and is not devolved after Brexit and will resist anything it sees as a claw-back of powers to London. However, Plaid signed up to the Welsh Brexit white paper with Labour and some of the positions in it - such as its position on freedom of movement - also appear more nuanced than Plaid's pro-EU stance may suggest. Plaid had initially demanded the UK remains a member of the single market, but the paper talks about participation in the single market - which could have a variety of implications. UKIP UKIP is a significant force in Welsh politics by virtue of its six AMs - but the fact it had seven as recently as last summer is one example of the many internal problems the party faces. Despite the internal rows, it can claim to be closer to Wales' verdict in the EU referendum than Labour and Plaid. UKIP has promised to hold Theresa May's feet to the fire over the negotiations - anything that is seen as watering down Brexit is likely to be criticised by the party. It has not produced a document outlining what Wales should get from leaving the EU in the same way Labour and Plaid has but UKIP is likely to press for a hard Brexit throughout the negotiation process. It will likely criticise the UK government over anything it perceives as giving too much away to Brussels. It will want to see full immigration control and will be more relaxed about losing single-market access. Party AMs will also not want to see contributions being made to the EU budget, the UK's seat retaken on the World Trade Organisation and Britain wholly removing itself from the jurisdiction of the European Court of Justice. Welsh Conservatives Brexit was a boost for Andrew RT Davies' leadership of the Welsh Conservatives in the wake of an assembly campaign which saw his party lose seats. With his party governing in Westminster, the Tory group will be loyal to the UK government in the Brexit process, unless there is an unexpected and highly-unlikely schism. Mr Davies has told AMs in the Senedd he would would fight to secure \"Wales's share of resources\". He, like Mr Jones, wants to see work on transitional arrangements within the UK post-Brexit to prevent disparities - and it is on issues like that where he thinks there could be more common ground on Brexit. The Tory leader has previously stated, though, that it may not be devolved institutions which manage what replaces structural funds. Mr Davies has said the Welsh Government is out of touch with voters and has tried to claim the moral high-ground by offering Carwyn Jones \"the hand of friendship\". But his bids for cross-party working on Brexit in Cardiff have been snubbed. Welsh Liberal Democrats Other than Plaid Cymru, the other party in Wales that is stridently pro-EU is the Welsh Liberal Democrats. Party leader Mark Williams - and its only MP - voted against allowing the UK government the power to start Brexit in the House of Commons. There is only one Lib Dem in the Senedd, former leader Kirsty Williams, who is a member of the Welsh Government - and the only member of the government who voted against Article 50 in the assembly. The Lib Dems want rights protected for EU citizens and UK citizens, freedom of movement, membership of the single market, sustained levels of investment in UK universities and support for Welsh farmers to be protected.",

Producer Oisin Tymon, with whom the altercation took place, is not believed to have filed his own complaint. Interviews are expected to be held with the star and other parties next week, and the show has been taken off-air. Clarkson has expressed regret over the incident, which his co-presenter James May labelled \"a bit of a dust-up\". An online petition calling for the star's reinstatement - set up by political blogger Guido Fawkes - has accrued more than 800,000 signatures since Tuesday. Speaking to reporters on Friday, Clarkson said he is \"very grateful to everybody\" who has signed the petition. Top Gear is one of the BBC's most popular and profitable TV shows, with an estimated global audience of 350 million. Its success is largely attributed to the contentious host, who has appeared on the show since 1988. Politicians on all sides have weighed into the affair, with Prime Minister David Cameron - a friend of Clarkson - saying he hoped the incident could be \"sorted out\". \"It's a great programme and he's a great talent,\" he said. A lawyer for Mr Tymon said his client \"intends to await the outcome of the BBC investigation and will make no comment until that investigation is complete\". Pre-emptive Clarkson's approach to BBC bosses suggests he was trying to pre-empt any official complaint. The incident, at a Yorkshire hotel, is reported to have been witnessed by members of the public, as well as some of the production team. The presenter, 54, was given what he called his \"final warning\" last May after claims he used a racist word during filming. He later apologised for the incident which, although never broadcast, had been leaked to a tabloid newspaper. Last year, Top Gear was also censured by Ofcom for breaching broadcasting rules after Clarkson used a derogatory word for Asian people during its Burma special programme. A further incident during shooting in Argentina saw the show's executive producer, Andy Wilman, brand 2014 an \"annus horribilis\" for his team. Clarkson, and co-presenters May and Richard Hammond, are due to renegotiate their contracts next month.",

During his career, he became known for his controversial films including Women In Love, which featured Oliver Reed and Alan Bates wrestling nude. He also directed the infamous religious drama The Devils and The Who's rock opera, Tommy, in 1975. \"My father died peacefully, he died with a smile on his face,\" Mr Verney-Elliott said. Russell's widow, Elize, said she was \"devastated\" by her husband's death, which had been \"completely unexpected\". She said the director had recently agreed to direct a musical feature film of Alice In Wonderland and had been working on the script and casting. \"He also had just completed an article for The Times on a review of the re-release of his film The Devils, so he was keeping himself very busy,\" she added. Glenda Jackson, who gave an Oscar-winning performance in Women In Love and starred in a number of Russell's other films including Music Lovers, told the BBC it was \"just wonderful to work with him and to work with him as often as I did\". \"He created the kind of climate in which actors could do their job and I loved him dearly.\" Jackson added that she believed the director had been overlooked by the British film industry, saying it was \"a great shame\". \"It was almost as if he never existed - I find it utterly scandalous for someone who was so innovative and a film director of international stature,\" she said. 'Creative force' Joely Richardson, who starred opposite Sean Bean in Russell's 1993 BBC TV series Lady Chatterley, said: \"I will forever feel privileged and honoured to have worked with the great Ken Russell. \"More than that, I was extremely fond of the man himself.\" Lord Melvyn Bragg, who first worked as Russell's assistant in 1963 on BBC programme Monitor, said he was \"an exceptional man\". \"He was a glorious director at his best, his best films will be remembered. He was a tremendous ornament to the rather supine British film industry and he was the glory of the television arts industry,\" he said. Film-maker Michael Winner hailed Russell's \"duplicity of mind\", adding he had made an \"enormous contribution\" to British cinema. \"He pushed the barriers completely and got away with it sometimes and didn't others, but he made some startling movies,\" said. \"He had an eye for the composition of each image on the screen - a great eye for imagery and then, of course, he had a great idea for the grotesque.\" Friend and cultural commentator Norman Lebrecht said: \"Among many achievements that spring to mind, he made British cinema less insular and self-referential. \"He was also a leading creative force in the history of British television. He will be widely mourned.\" Russell later returned to more small budget, but no less flamboyant fare, including Crimes of Passion, Gothic, Salome's Last Dance and the cult horror-comedy The Lair of the White Worm, starring Hugh Grant. The director also made an adaptation of DH Lawrence's The Rainbow followed by the gritty film, Whore, and even tried his hand at music videos, making Nikita for Sir Elton John. Many of Russell's later films were dismissed as too eclectic and by the 1990s he found it almost impossible to get funding for his work. He returned to the public eye in 2007, when he appeared on Celebrity Big Brother. He lasted just four days before quitting the show after a disagreement with fellow contestant, the late Jade Goody.",

Police failed to keep items for analysis, the home was not visited or statements taken, new documents show. Retired Det Supt Mike Forrester said \"with hindsight\" he would have done things sooner. Poppi was pronounced dead in hospital after paramedics were called to her home. In October 2104 an inquest ruled her death was unascertained. It has now emerged that police were criticised for a number of failings following her death. 'Nothing dishonest' These included failing to preserving certain items for analysis whilst senior investigating officers did not visit the family home and witness statements were not taken until September 2013. Mr Forrester, the officer in charge who has retired from Cumbria Police, defended the force's actions. \"I'm not saying we get it right all the time, but none of us on this case have done anything intentionally wrong\", he said. \"We haven't done anything dishonest. We've done the best we can with the information we had (and) with the resources we had at the time.\" He said police were awaiting the results of a post-mortem examination, which should have taken weeks, but took months, something he described as \"a disgrace\". \"I do accept that the police and other agencies perhaps have got things wrong, particularly in the very early stages around scene management and the time lines of the investigation,\" he said. \"Hindsight's a wonderful thing.

            "input": "Rory Cellan-JonesTechnology correspondent@BBCRoryCJon Twitter The man behind the design of the iPhone, the iPod and countless other i-products was just another young designer at Apple's Cupertino headquarters when Steve Jobs returned to the company in 1997. Back then Apple's computers stood out because of their software. They were the only serious alternative to the ubiquitous Windows PCs - but their hardware was just as dull. Together, Ive and Jobs came up with their first big hit - the iMac, a computer that was both colourful and cute. Prof Jeremy Myerson from the Royal College of Art says Jony Ive is to industrial design and computing what David Hockney is to painting and Christian Dior to fashion. \"Before Johnny Ive, computers were made of beige or grey plastic, they were cheaply made,\" he recalls. \"The wonder was in what they could do functionally, not how they felt emotionally or what they looked like. And Jony Ive changed all that dramatically.\" What Ive and Jobs shared was an obsession with detail - they even wanted the inside of a product, invisible to the user, to be consistent with Apple's design aesthetic. You can see that philosophy in the often-parodied product videos where Ive describes the Apple Watch as \"the most personal product we've ever made\" or raves about the contrast between the iPhone 4's \"textured back and its highly-polished chamfered edge\". His quiet, almost soporific voiceovers may have been much mocked, but Prof Myerson says every other firm has rushed to imitate Apple's approach to technology. \"What he's done, he's made it personal, he's made it cool, he's made it attractive, and other companies have had no choice but to jump into that game.\" With many products, it was design not technology that made them winners. Apple was not the first company to bring out a touchscreen phone or Bluetooth earbuds, But the iPhone and the AirPods immediately convinced millions of people that this was how they wanted a gadget to look and work. In recent years, however, it has sometimes seemed that Apple's obsession with the cleanest of lines in every product has come at the expense of usability. Buyers of the MacBook, which has just one USB-C port, have been forced to buy a clutch of adapters to plug in devices. Problems with the laptop's keyboard have also been linked to what one pundit described as \"Ive's obsession with device thinness and minimalism\". Sir Jonathan - he was knighted in 2012 - is stressing that he will continue to be involved in projects at Apple. As one wag tweeted: \"Jony Ive will still work with Apple but it will require a special adapter.\" Still, if he never designs another breakthrough Apple product he will go down in history as the genius behind the most profitable product in history, the iPhone. Not bad for someone who started his career at a small UK consultancy designing toilets and toothbrushes. Also on this week's programme: In an extraordinarily frank interview Nokia's chief technology officer Marcus Weldon attacks its rival Huawei over what he describes as \"sloppy\" security.

Documents and evidence also suggest air traffic controllers have been working excessive hours and under-qualified staff have been used due to shortages. Aviation consultant Chris Yates said the BBC evidence was \"deeply worrying\". Between May and September last year, an airport manager warned his bosses that air traffic controllers were having to \"bend the rules\" and resort to \"dodgy\" practices to cope with \"chronic staff shortages\". One email talks of \"times when planes should have been diverted\". A former airport worker told the BBC the problems had been going on for several years. \"I tell my friends and family not to fly from Cambridge in the summer,\" he said. Radar operation fears The airspace around Cambridge is busy and in the past four years, the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) has undertaken investigations, known as Air Proximity Reports, into 14 near misses in the skies around the city. In one incident a helicopter came within feet of hitting a vintage aircraft at 1,500ft, and in another incident two jets were described as \"very very very close to a collision\". The pilot of a Boeing 737 taking off from Cambridge feared a collision with a light aircraft, which was flying in uncontrolled air space. Air traffic control was not found to be at fault in any of these cases. However, the investigations did highlight underlying concerns within the CAA that the radar was not operating and it issued urgent recommendations to the airport. The airport is part of the Marshall Group, an aerospace company which has an annual turnover of £1bn and is currently working on a £1.5bn government contract to service RAF Hercules aircraft. Last year, the airport made a loss of £4.8m and was due to offer for tender a new £16m runway contract last year. The project is now due for completion in 2015. However, in leaked emails, a manager complains about \"underfunding since year dot\" and that landing aids including radar are \"all antique and fail frequently\". Pilot shocked by debris \"When you saw a large aircraft taking off you could see parts of the runway lifting up behind it,\" he said. \"I noticed it had a large chunk of debris stuck to one of its main wheels. \"The pilot was really quite shocked when he saw the object for himself. \"He was extremely grateful that we were able to intervene and prevent him from taking off.\" Independent consultant Chris Yates, a former aviation security editor, was shown the BBC's findings. \"I've never in the 20-plus years I've been doing this job heard anything quite so dramatic,\" he said. Cambridge Airport managing director Steve Jones told the BBC: \"We utterly refute the implied allegation that safety has been compromised at Cambridge Airport. \"Cambridge International Airport has undertaken a significant and ongoing programme of investment in the facilities and operations of the Airport, ensuring that the highest standards are maintained.\" Mr Jones said there had only been three unforeseen circumstances in 2013, when formal reports for longer hours had been submitted to the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), and no member of staff had reported concerns. CAA considers allegations The CAA told the BBC it had not found evidence to substantiate any of the allegations, and added that the airport met all the required levels of safety. \"Air traffic controllers had not breached CAA regulations,\" it added. \"They have been allowed limited extensions of working time under very strict conditions. \"Safety is not compromised by this extension and constant monitoring ensures that controllers do not become fatigued. \"We were aware of one incident of tar being lifted off the runway. \"This tar was a repair to the runway surface and was dealt with straight away.\" The CAA said it would consider further specific allegations but had not received whistle-blowing reports about Cambridge Airport in the past two years.",

            "input": "By Paul RinconScience editor, BBC News website On 30 May 2020, Doug Hurley and Bob Behnken broke a nine-year hiatus for Nasa, becoming the first astronauts to launch from US soil since the retirement of the space shuttle in 2011. In the intervening years, Nasa bought seats for its astronauts - at a cost of tens of millions of dollars per flight - on the Russian Soyuz. But officials have also worked with Elon Musk's company SpaceX and aerospace giant Boeing to develop new, American spacecraft capable of ferrying humans to and from the ISS - under the space agency's Commercial Crew Program. Musk's vehicle was first to fly; Hurley and Behnken travelled to the ISS in the sleek Crew Dragon spacecraft. \"It's well past time to be launching an American rocket from the Florida coast to the International Space Station and I am certainly honoured to be a part of it,\" Hurley, 53, said at the beginning of May, before the flight. Behnken, 49, added: \"On my first flight... I didn't have a son, so I'm really excited to share the mission with him.\" Nasa chose two of its most experienced astronauts to help California-based SpaceX ready the Crew Dragon for launch. The two are also longstanding friends. \"Being lucky enough to fly with your best friend... I think there's a lot of people who wish they could do that,\" says Hurley. When they launched atop a Falcon 9 rocket, their spouses knew exactly what they were going through. That's because they're astronauts too. Marine Colonel Hurley's wife Karen Nyberg flew into space twice - aboard the shuttle and the Soyuz - retiring from Nasa this year. They have a 10-year-old son, Jack, whose formative years were shaped by space travel. Nyberg began training for a six-month space station mission just a few months after Jack's birth. In the meantime, Hurley was preparing for his own flight - piloting the last ever shuttle mission. Sometimes, Nyberg took Jack to Russia, at other times he stayed at home in Texas. \"Literally from the time Jack was old enough to comprehend things, he was either going to Russia or Skyping with mommy. That's just the way it was,\" Hurley told the Houston Chronicle in 2013. Air Force Colonel Behnken is married to Megan McArthur, who flew on the last mission to service the Hubble Space Telescope in 2009. As an active member of the astronaut corps, she is a potential candidate to be the first woman on the Moon when Nasa returns in 2024. Their son, Theo, is six. Hurley, Behnken, Nyberg and McArthur all graduated from the same astronaut class (2000) and attended each other's weddings. The men are so used to each other's company, they now have a spooky rapport. They \"can predict - almost by body language - what the person's opinion is or what their next action is going to be,\" Behnken told CNN before the launch. \"We've just been doing this so long that it's kind of like having a second set of hands.\" Hurley says of Behnken: \"I know instantaneously when I've not done something correctly - just put it that way. He doesn't have a good poker face.\" But Behnken admits Hurley is the more organised of the two. The older of the two men was raised in the hamlet of Apalachin, in upstate New York. \"It was just a great small town existence... we didn't get a stoplight until I was, I think, in college,\" Hurley said in 2009. Behnken hails from St Ann, a suburb of St Louis, Missouri. In 2010, he described it as \"a blue collar kind of a neighbourhood\", adding: \"I guess, in my bag of tricks... I'm more of a working class sort of a person.\" He took jobs in construction before deciding that working outdoors in the summer heat wasn't for him. Both men went to college on military scholarships and gained undergraduate degrees in engineering. While Behnken went on to complete a PhD at Caltech - the elite institute featured in the Big Bang Theory television show - Hurley became an officer in the Marines. They both subsequently trained as military test pilots - at different training schools. It's been the archetypal background for Nasa's astronauts since the days of its first intake - the Mercury Seven. \"When I showed up [at Nasa] it was like: 'Well, I have a PhD and an MD,' and I'm sitting there going, 'Mmm, wow! Maybe I was a bit of a slacker',\" said Hurley. \"But you know, your professional development as a pilot and the thousands of hours you get as a pilot... brings something to the table.\" Hurley and Behnken were selected as astronaut candidates three years before the shuttle Columbia broke up on re-entry, killing seven crew members. After the disaster, Nasa decided it would retire the shuttle, handing over space station transport to private firms. Thus, when the two men were finally assigned their flights, the shuttle programme was in its final phase. Their missions focused on fulfilling Nasa's prior commitments to complete construction of the ISS, including the delivery of crew compartments designed to fit in the shuttle's payload bay. When the spaceplane was retired, the pair were assigned to the Commercial Crew Program. In August 2018, Hurley and Behnken were announced as the prime crew for Demo-2, the first flight of SpaceX's vehicle with humans onboard. \"Bob and I, the last two years, have essentially been living in California, working hand-in-hand with the folks at SpaceX to get us to this point,\" Hurley said this month. They've had to get used to the Crew Dragon's touchscreen controls after previously working with the chunky buttons on shuttle instrument panels. Hurley says a background in evaluating military aircraft as test pilots proved crucial in their work with SpaceX. \"That, in and of itself, helped both of us tremendously, because all along the process that you see in the military, there are delays, there are technical challenges, there are things that you don't expect and you have to work through them,\" he explained. Setbacks - including two spectacular explosions that destroyed a rocket and one of the Crew Dragon capsules - have seen the mission slip by nearly four years from its original date of October 2016. \"We were well-prepared for that part of it, when I think it caused some frustration within Nasa as launch dates weren't made,\" explained Hurley. Despite bumps in the road, Behnken's enthusiasm remained undimmed: \"It's probably the dream of every test pilot school student to have the opportunity to fly on a brand new spaceship.\" Hurley told CNN: \"From a first flight standpoint, certainly, there might be some greater quantifiable risk to some degree. \"But probably no different to any other spaceflight we've flown humans on before.\" Follow Paul on Twitter.",

            "input": "Welsh Secretary Cheryl Gillan said the review was \"fair\" but First Minister Carwyn Jones called it a \"hammer blow\". The assembly government said the cuts were at the lower end of predictions, but the budget was the \"worst since devolution\". Overall, the UK government is making £81bn cuts to UK public spending. The UK government wants to eliminate the country's £109bn structural deficit by 2014-15. Ms Gillan said: \"The Welsh Assembly Government is facing smaller cuts than most UK government departments but, like everywhere else, tough decisions will have to be faced in Cardiff Bay.\" It was a \"fair funding settlement for Wales,\" she said. Responding to the review, a spokesperson for the assembly government said: \"Our budget next year will be almost £900m less than this year and comes on top of the savage Budget in June, representing the deepest public spending cuts since World War 2.\" However, a discrepency between the way the Treasury and the assembly government calculate the Welsh budget has emerged. The Treasury figures state that spending will fall from £15bn this year to £14.6bn in four years' time, a drop of £400m in cash terms. The assembly government has calculated its figure from a higher budget starting point, £15.12bn, and has factored in the effect of inflation over the four years. Welsh Labour leader, and First Minister, Carwyn Jones said the Treasury had not taken inflation into account when delivering its figures. He said: \"Let's not pretend this is good news. Today's announcement is a hammer blow for the people of Wales. \"This is the worst settlement of any of the devolved nations. The cuts we face over the next five years will be very challenging.\" The Treasury's own figures, suggest that devolved government in Wales will be hit harder than counterparts in Scotland and Northern Ireland. The Welsh Assembly Government will see a 7.5% real terms reduction in revenue and another 41% reduction in capital funds. But the comparable allocation for the Scottish Executive will be a reduction of 6.8% in revenue and 38% in capital. And in Northern Ireland, it will be 6.9% revenue, and 37% in capital. Plaid Cymru leader and Deputy First Minister Ieuan Wyn Jones AM said: \"This announcement is a devastating blow to the Welsh economy. Plaid has consistently argued that the Conservative-Lib Dem cuts were too soon and too deep. \"It is especially concerning the way the Conservative government have attacked welfare payments, targeting sickness and housing benefits in particular. \"There is little doubt that Welsh jobs, Welsh businesses and the Welsh people will feel the pain of these mistakes.\" Leader for the Welsh Liberal Democrats, Kirsty Williams said: \"The Welsh people understand that we can't pretend that the pain can be stopped at the Severn Bridge. \"However, this settlement is better news for Wales than many were predicting.\" She added: \"The decisions taken in England to fund the \"fairness premium\" which will give the poorest children a better start in life, to protect NHS funding and prioritise schools and early years spending will be reflected in the settlement that Wales receives.\" However, Shadow Secretary of State for Wales, Peter Hain said the Spending Review was \"a reckless gamble\". \"Families in Wales will be worried stiff about their future tonight, with more than 60,000 people facing losing their jobs,\" he said. Part of the reason for the smaller than expected fall was that spending on health and education in England remained relatively protected by the UK Government, said Lynn Hine, partner in charge of government and public sector services in Wales at PricewaterhouseCoopers. She said the assembly government still \"faces big decisions ahead\". \"In England, the health budget is protected, and the schools budget will rise, but it might be difficult to offer the same in Wales,\" she said. Public sector jobs Mr Osborne began his Spending Review statement statement by saying: \"Today is the day when Britain steps back from the brink, when we confront the bills from a decade of debt.\" The Chancellor said the Office for Budget Responsibility had forecast that 490,000 public sector jobs in the UK would go by 2014-15, much of it through natural turnover of staff departures. But he said: \"There will be some redundancies. \"That is unavoidable when the country has run out of money.\" More than a quarter of jobs in Wales are in the public sector, one of the highest concentrations in the UK, raising fears that the country will be disproportionately hit by the cuts. Darren Williams, campaigns officer for the PCS in Wales union, said: \"These cuts are bad for people who work in public services and bad for people who use public services. \"We will be working with other unions to challenge these cuts.\" Spending commitments The Chancellor also gave the following commitments to UK spending in Wales: It was also announced that the BBC will take over the funding of S4C, as part of a deal to freeze funding of the licence fee over the next six years. S4C legal row The S4C Authority, the governing body of the channel, said it was launching a judicial review of the decision. UK Government departments will have their budgets cut by an average of 19%. But the effect on areas such as health, transport and education in Wales which are devolved to the assembly government, will not be known until mid-November when the budget is set. A further £7bn cuts to the welfare system as a whole in the UK - on top of £11bn in cuts already announced - will have a big impact in Wales because of the higher levels of claimants compared to many other areas of the UK, explained Professor Brian Morgan, from the Cardiff Management School at the Universty of Wales Institute, Cardiff. He said radical change in the relationship between people and public services in Wales was needed. 'Incredibly tough' \"What we have done in the past is now unsustainable in the future,\" he said. However, public spending per head in Wales will remain higher than any region in England except London, confirmed the Treasury. Steve Thomas, chief executive of the WLGA, said that three to four thousand public sector jobs could be lost in Wales over the next two years. He said: \"It's going to be incredibly tough, even if we are talking in the most optimistic terms.\" Local governments in England face cuts of 26% to their budgets over the next four years, but councils in Wales will have to wait until the end of November to learn what grant they will get from the Welsh Assembly Government.",

            "input": "By Fiona BaileyEntertainment reporter, BBC News \"It's not very guitar hero. There isn't a guitar solo until the sixth track,\" he explains. The 44-year-old, who played lead guitar alongside his brother Liam in the band for 18 years, says his new material is very different. High Flying Birds features 10 tracks, which were recorded in London and Los Angeles over the last 18 months. There will be a tour shortly after the release of the album in October, with the opening gig in Dublin. A second as-yet-untitled collaboration with Amorphous Androgynous will follow next summer. Although the newly-married star says commercial success does not worry him, he admits he is slightly more anxious about how fans will take to his new material. \"I'm just assuming that fans of Oasis will like it because I was the main songwriter,\" he says. \"I wrote every song for that band so I'm assuming they will like some aspects of it [the new album]. \"But if it comes out and journalists slate it, it doesn't mean anything any more. With the internet, everybody is a journalist now, everybody is a critic, everybody reviews albums. \"I think they'll like it otherwise I wouldn't be putting it out.\" While the London press conference was set up for Gallagher to talk about his solo career, it did not take long for reporters to ask about the state of his relationship with Liam. The pair fell out two years ago just before a gig in Paris and have not spoken since. \"I had a sweepstake on how long it would take,\" Gallagher laughs, when the first question was put to him just two minutes into the event. The guitarist explains how the brothers' row escalated after Liam cancelled their V Festival slot \"because he had a hangover\", although the official reason given at the time was that he was suffering with laryngitis. Tension only increased after Liam apparently demanded free advertising space for his clothing label in the band's tour programme. \"I didn't think it was right for him to be flogging his gear to our fans. There was a massive row about that,\" Gallagher says. 'Unnecessary violent act' \"That night Liam kind of stormed out of the dressing room. On the way out he picked up a plum and he threw it across the dressing room and it smashed against the wall,\" Gallagher explains. \"Part of me wishes it had finished like that because that would have been a great headline: 'Plum throws plum,'\" he laughs. But Gallagher's demeanour changes when he describes how the row suddenly took a turn for the worst and Liam returned wielding his guitar \"like an axe\". \"It was a real unnecessary violent act. He was swinging this guitar around and he nearly took my face off,\" Gallagher says. Just minutes before the concert was due to start the guitarist says he walked out and refused to return. But in hindsight Gallagher admits he regrets doing that. \"If I could have the time again I'd have gone back and done the gigs. I'd have done that gig and I'd have done the next one and we'd have all gone away and we could probably have discussed it. \"We may never have split up. Liam always said he'd bring down Armageddon, that's the kind of way he likes things to be. \"He doesn't like me in a violent way. I don't get on with him but he takes it to a [new] level. There's no point in being in a band with people you fight with. I kind of did everybody a favour.\" Liam went on to launch his own band Beady Eye and the group released their debut album, Different Gear, Still Speeding, earlier this year. Although Gallagher says he has not heard the album in its entirety, he has read some of the reviews. \"I've got to say it's got better reviews that any of you gave our Oasis albums,\" he tells reporters. \"You can't begin to imagine how annoying that is. \"He [Liam] is probably better off without me because he's in charge. It remains to be seen if I'm better off without him.\" Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds is due to be released on 17 October.",

Hundreds of thousands of migrants try to reach the EU in risky sea crossings. Mr Kickl said ships would use a \"quick way\" to clarify who was entitled to asylum but he did not give details. Mr Salvini is under investigation in Italy for refusing to let rescued migrants disembark in Italy last month. Prosecutors in Sicily have opened an inquiry into possible illegal confinement, illegal arrest and abuse of power. Outlining his plan at a joint news conference with Mr Salvini on Friday Mr Kickl said that after \"appropriate checks\" on board ship, those migrants entitled to asylum could be brought to the EU while the rest would be taken to \"safe ports\" in third countries. \"You are well looked after on a ship,\" Mr Kickl said, adding that the system would help solve the \"problem of repatriation\". \"Once people have set foot on the continent, you can only remove them with great difficulty and much expense,\" he told reporters. He said EU asylum policy should aim to make it \"impossible to claim asylum except from outside the EU, and that claims be decided outside the EU\". Mr Salvini said he was absolutely in favour of the plan. Italy is one of the main entry points for migrants making the dangerous journey across the Mediterranean with the hope of a new life in the EU. However, the Austrian office of the medical charity Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) condemned the idea. \"This proposal is simply another attempt to distract attention from the real issue, namely the inability of Europe and of Austria's EU presidency to find a sustainable solution to the humanitarian crisis in the central Mediterranean and Libya,\" the group said in a statement. It urged EU leaders to \"put the protection of human life at the centre of their efforts\". Since 2014, more than 640,000 migrants have landed on Italy's shores. Although many have since left for other countries, some remain. The UN says that more than 1,600 people have lost their lives trying to cross into Europe in 2018, despite overall numbers being down. In July, 450 migrants were allowed to disembark in Sicily once France, Germany, Malta, Portugal and Spain had agreed to take 50 migrants each.",

            "input": "By Ione WellsWestminster correspondent UK Steel said it was \"likely\" that export quotas for some products would run out in the first quarter of this year - meaning exports would face a 25% tariff. Aberavon MP Stephen Kinnock said the UK government should renegotiate the \"very damaging\" new quotas with the EU. The UK government said it would \"engage intensively\" with the sector. Tata Steel UK employs about 8,000 people in the UK, the majority of which are in Wales with about half based at Port Talbot. 'Damaging' In the year to March 2020 - before the coronavirus pandemic hit demand for steel - Tata Steel UK made a pre-tax loss of £654m and there have been ongoing calls for financial support from the UK Government. But Welsh Labour MPs told BBC Politics Wales the latest challenge for the sector could be the changes agreed in the post-Brexit trade deal at the end of last year. 'Very troubling' \"Boris Johnson has said that the Brexit deal is no quotas and no tariffs - that is just not true,\" said Mr Kinnock, whose constituency includes the Port Talbot steelworks. \"The steel industry is going to be subjected to 25% tariffs on every tonne of steel that we export to the European Union above a certain quota. \"What's even worse is steel going from Great Britain to Northern Ireland will be included in the calculation of that quota, so we really have got a very troubling situation that could have a very damaging impact on our steel industry. \"We need the government to get back to the negotiating table with the European Union. \"The big question is, does the European Union have any incentive to get back to the negotiating table now the deal is done. Have we lost all of our leverage?\" There are now separate quotas for UK steel trading with the EU for 29 different steel products. UK Steel, which represents manufacturers, said some of those quotas were likely to run out in the first quarter of this year. 'Huge problems' \"The official expiry date of the EU safeguard measure [quotas] is June 2021, but it is looking increasingly likely that they will be extended beyond this period - perhaps for another three years,\" a spokeswoman said. \"If the UK can't get an exemption, or its quotas expanded, it will cause huge problems for the UK steel sector.\" She said Brexit was also impacting how much steel the UK can expect to export due to customs delays, a shortage of hauliers and concern from EU customers. Is state aid the answer? Mr Kinnock has urged the UK government to provide support to the industry. Steel analyst Kathryn Ringwald Wildman said more state aid could have been given, even while a member of the EU, while the steel industry is among many sectors asking for help following the coronavirus pandemic. \"One is inclined to think that because [the UK government] expressed such concern over the ability to use state aid that they intend to use state aid,\" she said. \"However, in the past they haven't used it to the maximum, even within European regulations. \"Within European regulations, some countries were able to give their steel industries much more support with relation to energy costs than the UK government chose to do.\" She said the UK government would be weighing up whether steel remains a \"strategic industry\". \"Many would say yes - we have a strong manufacturing sector [so] you need a thriving steel industry [however] now we have competing voices for support. \"Industries like hospitality, leisure and tourism, retail, have all been devastated by the pandemic and seeking help to recover. The government has to decide what are their priorities, where is the economy going to be best served in the long-term.\" Prof Kent Matthews, economist at Cardiff University, said any steel subsidy would need a time limit. \"The main challenges are in terms of value for money,\" he said. \"The Treasury's argument will be they don't want to keep throwing money at something that's not going to produce a return at all. \"The long-term effect for steel coming out of Brexit, if nothing changes, is that it will be absolutely destroyed by world markets. So the arguments for subsidising are ones of giving it breathing space to be able to up their game, invest in the right technologies and move up the value chain. \"There are arguments for permanent subsidies for certain industries but steel is not one of them because it's a tradable good, it's something that can be got from outside.\" The UK government said it was in continuing discussions about increasing quotas for exports into the EU single market. A UK government spokesman said: \"We have worked successfully with the European Commission to secure tariff rate quotas for some steel products to enable UK companies to trade tariff-free into the EU. \"These tariff-free allocations came into operation on 1 January 2021. \"The government will continue to engage intensively with the sector to understand their concerns and requirements.\"",

The winner receives $250,000 (£192,380) and an opportunity to launch their collection on a fashion e-tailer. Scanlan, twice named Scotland's Young Designer of the Year, runs her H.S brand from her Dundee studio. Her designs have been worn by celebrities including Little Mix, Pixie Lott and Jessie J. She said that she had received the invitation to compete on the 10-episode show on the morning of her twin sons' birthday. Scanlan said: \"I was a bit apprehensive about doing it because TV is not something I'd thought about before and it seemed like such a huge, huge TV show. \"But as time went on, I was like, this an opportunity that I can't really miss, so I ended up just going for it.\" After being flown to California, Scanlan and the other contestants took part in a series of challenges, including red carpet and leisure \"looks.\" Scanlan was one of only four British designers competing on the show, which is presented by fashionista Alexa Chung and Queer Eye's Tan France. She told BBC Radio Scotland's Good Morning Scotland: \"I ended up being one of the 18 designers selected from around the world, so it was pretty amazing. \"To be considered at the same level as these designers throughout the world that were on the show, it was a bit surreal for me.\" Guests judges on the show included designer Tommy Hilfiger, supermodel Adrianna Lima and Instagram's head of fashion, Eva Chen. Scanlan said despite the \"amazing\" experience, Dundee remained her \"comfort blanket.\" She said: \"I stay up in Dundee so I'm away from the fashion capitals, and I'm a mum as well. \"Obviously I felt really proud and amazed, but at the same time I didn't feel as confident as others. \"I did feel like, oh my God, should I even be here, because the standard is that high. \"But, I'm glad I did it, it was amazing.\"",

Women born in the 1950s claim the rise is unfair because they were not given enough time to make adjustments to cope with years without a state pension. They won the right to a judicial review, with judges ruling later. Up until 2010, women received their state pensions at the age of 60 but that has been rising since then. While most campaigners support pension age equality, they say the government was discriminatory in the way it has introduced it. In June, the judicial review in the High Court heard a claim from two members of the Backto60 group who said that not receiving their state pension at the age of 60 had affected them disproportionately. They argue that many women took time out of work to care for children and were paid less than men, could not save as much in occupational pensions, so the change had hit them harder. It is estimated that 3.8 million women were in this position, with some potentially losing out on more than £40,000. The Backto60 group is seeking repayment of all the pensions people born in the 1950s would have received if they had been able to retire earlier. It argues that the speed of the change and what it calls the lack of warnings has disadvantaged millions of women. However, the government has estimated that a reversal of the pension changes in the Acts of Parliament of 1995 and 2011 would cost £215bn over the period 2010-11 to 2025-26. About £181bn of that would be money potentially owed to women and the rest to men. It has said the move to make the state pension age the same for men and women was a \"long-overdue\" move towards gender equality, and had been clearly communicated to those affected. The losing side of Thursday's judgement is likely to appeal, meaning more court cases in a long-running dispute over the effect of the pension changes on 1950s women. Campaigners have lobbied MPs, and call regular public protests to raise awareness of their situation. The Backto60 group has taken this legal action to demand \"the return of their earned dues\". The separate Women Against State Pension Inequality (Waspi) group is calling for a \"bridging\" pension to cover the gap from the age of 60 until their state pension is paid. 'I could have paid my bills' Krissy Abbott was born in April 1954 so had expected to be receiving her state pension well before now. Instead, it will come in November. Mrs Abbott, from Essex, said the loss of her husband, Alan, as well as difficulties with benefits applications meant she was depending on the charity of others last year. \"The only thing I had was the food bank and some very good neighbours of mine. They knew how much I thought of [my dog] Jazz. They brought round tins of dog food for him,\" she said. \"I had a gas cooker in the kitchen and Jazz and I used to spend our time in the kitchen keeping warm. You just survive.\" She said life would have been different had she been in receipt of her state pension. \"You could have had the heating, you could have had hot food, a shower, a bath, a simple thing like having a kettle and making a hot drink. It would have made such a difference. I could have paid my bills,\" she said. \"It makes me angry. It makes me very emotional.\"",

Despite the properties earning more than £10,500 a month in rent, Nottingham City Council said some smoke alarms were not working. The authority said it had to carry out emergency work. Blackstock, 33, of Hall Lane, Papplewick, pleaded guilty to 12 counts of failing to license the properties and was ordered to pay £1,100 costs and a £170 victim surcharge on top of his fine. Councillor Linda Woodings said: \"Properties have to be licensed for a good reason - to provide higher standards, regular maintenance and, most importantly, to make sure that tenants across the city are safe and living in acceptable conditions. \"Mr Blackstock has continually placed his profits over ensuring that these homes were appropriately licensed.\" She added taking action was a last resort when a landlord or agent refused to engage with the council. \"We want to work constructively with landlords to improve the standards of rented properties, but we make no apology for bringing people before the courts and we hope this sends out a strong message,\" she said.

            "input": "By Joe InwoodBBC Look North The Howard League for Penal Reform put the cost to the economy at £10bn a year, and that is not including the social and emotional costs to victims of crime, the families of prisoners and the prisoners themselves. But in the context of the HMP Leeds it matters even more. That is because in six months' time the old Victorian facility becomes the first ever publicly-run prison to move to the payment by results model. That is a system whereby financial rewards and penalties are given based upon the number of prisoners who re-offend. Leeds is not the first prison to move to this model; it has been up and running in nearby private jail Doncaster since last summer. The difference is that in Doncaster the company which runs it, Serco, is essentially putting its profits at risk when it takes part in the scheme. And for companies with a bottom line, the profit motive is a strong one. At Leeds there are no profits for penalty payments to come out of, so how will it work? 'Prisoners cherry picked' Leeds will create a new, external organisation, with specific responsibility for stopping re-offending, funded through prison budgets. They will then bring in an outside company, charity or social enterprise, who will also invest into the new organisation. That combined budget will be used to work with prisoners both during their time inside and post-release to reduce their chances of re-offending. If they fail to meet re-offending targets they face a financial penalty. Over-perform and they get a healthy return on their investments. The concerns around payment by results are generally not around principles but practicalities. Andrew Neilson, from the Howard League, said: \"The biggest concern is that they will 'cherry pick' individuals who are most likely to meet their targets, leaving the most hard-to-reach behind. \"The danger is that those left behind are precisely those most likely to re-offend and re-offend most seriously. \"What is to prevent 'ghosting' - where a difficult prisoner is moved to a different jail to avoid being part of the payment by results cohort? \"Finally, how do you avoid double, even triple payment? \"Payment by results is sweeping across government but this creates a complex picture. \"Does a person desist from offending because their addiction problems have been alleviated by a payment by results programme in the NHS? Or is it through their new employment, facilitated by the payment by results in welfare to work?\" Other prisons tested The model is in its very early stages and because results take two years to come through, responding to concerns will take time. For good or ill, however, the model seems to be the future. The government has said that by 2015 it is the model they want to see across the prison estate. And that is the reason the Leeds pilot takes on extra significance. Last October HMP Birmingham became the first ever UK prison to be privatised; others are currently being \"market tested\" to see if they could go the same way. Leeds however, is seeking to prove that publicly-run facilities can embrace the government's vision of the future. To some people, it is not just the futures of Leeds' inmates that ride on this pilot, it is the very future of publicly-run prisons.",

Defence experts think it was part of a nuclear-powered cruise missile. \"We will certainly be perfecting this weapon regardless of anything,\" Mr Putin told widows of the victims.

He did not specify what weapon had been involved, saying only that the \"technical ideas and solutions\" involved in the project were \"without an equivalent in the world\". How serious was the accident in August? Engineers had completed testing on an offshore platform at the Nyonoksa naval test range when a fire broke out and the engine exploded, throwing the men into the sea, according to Russia's nuclear agency Rosatom. In addition to the seven killed, six people were injured as a result of the blast, which saw radiation levels rise 16 times above normal in the nearest big city, Severodvinsk, 47km (29 miles) away from Nyonoksa. While the radiation levels were not high enough to cause radiation sickness, medical staff who treated casualties from the blast site were not warned of any nuclear contamination risk. The clean-up operation was shrouded in secrecy. What was being tested? Russia has only confirmed that a nuclear-powered engine was being tested at the time. There is also some speculation that it could have been an anti-ship missile or long-range underwater drone but experts in Russia and the West say the test was most likely linked to the new 9M730 Burevestnik missile, called \"Skyfall\" by Nato.

            "input": "By Neil PriorBBC News But 80 years later, entire supermarket aisles are dedicated to canned beers, lagers, ciders and other alcoholic drinks. It is now impossible to imagine how revolutionary the idea sounded in 1935. That was when Felinfoel Brewery in Llanelli, Carmarthenshire, became one of the first in Europe to offer their wares in the shiny new packaging. A year earlier, Krueger of New Jersey, America, was the first brewery in the world to sell beer in cans, but their product involved creating a new pasteurised drink to suit the metal containers. On this side of the Atlantic, nobody had been able to counter the problem of British-style ales reacting with the tin and leaving a metallic taste. But then Felinfoel hit on the idea of coating the inside of the cans with an inert wax. 'Space race' However, this was not initially just about boosting sales of beer, but promoting another of the then-owner's business interests. Current managing director Philip Lewis said: \"As well as being brewers, the family who owned Felinfoel were also Llanelli tinplate masters, an industry which had taken a battering during the Great Depression of the 1920s and 1930s.\" \"After the success Krueger had gained from the launch of their canned beer, Felinfoel thought that if they could solve the reaction problems then they'd not only have a massive publicity coup, but also all the money they were currently spending on glass bottles would instead go directly into their tinplate interests. \"It became something of a space race, with Buckley's Brewery also keen to achieve the first. \"So when Felinfoel pipped them to the post, every employee of the brewery and the tinplate works was given a can to mark the occasion. \"These cans today are valuable collectors' items.\" These half-pint tin bottles bore little resemblance to modern cans, which would not emerge until the 1960s. But crucially, they were much lighter than their glass rivals, making them a firm favourite in supplies sent to British forces during World War Two. Teething problems While they proved a big hit in the UK, transporting them around the world posed its own problems. \"The wax coating worked well in the cold British climate, but when it was shipped to warmer climes such as the Far East, the wax would melt and seep into the beer, leaving an unpleasant taste,\" Mr Lewis added. \"After the war this drove brewers to develop the synthetic coatings used on modern cans.\" While there were teething problems, cans were here to stay and more than 80% of beer drunk at home is now sold in them. Despite this success, Mr Lewis has mixed feelings about his brewery's place in history. \"It's ironic that we were the brewery to pioneer canned beer and that today it's those same cans which are contributing to the decline of the pub,\" he said. \"In common with all breweries, we face an enormous challenge in getting people out of their houses and selling the pub as not only a place to buy beer, but as an entertainment experience.\" The Beer Academy's Welsh beer sommelier, Tom Newman, takes a different view. He believes that after decades as a vehicle for \"stack 'em high, sell 'em cheap supermarket lager\", the can is now helping micro brewers to fight back. \"For years, canning was very expensive and so only really leant itself to mass-market breweries. \"But today the cost has come right down with the invention of mobile canning lines and it's actually an incredibly good way to get craft ales out there,\" he said. \"The two enemies of ales are UV light and oxygen and, if done right, canning can counter these much more efficiently than bottling. \"In America there's already an explosion of micro-breweries selling their ales in cans and I think it's a matter of time until we see the same thing happening over here.\" Related Internet Links Felinfoel Brewery",

At 06:00 BST, the torch begins a 30-minute journey to the outskirts of Stranraer - taking in George Street, Charlotte Street, Port Rodie and Cairnryan Road. Three bearers will carry it - Carol Harwood from Arran, Ross Mclelland from Ayr - and Doreen Bowie - principal of Stranraer's Wallace School of Dance - a woman described in her nomination as \"truly inspirational\". From Stranraer, the flame is driven to Cairnryan before being carried through the village by two more local bearers. Harry Waugh, 67, from New Luce - described as a community activist and inspirational athlete - is one of them. Joining Mr Waugh in Cairnryan is Anne Barclay from Creetown, who organises Dumfries and Galloway's Cancer Research UK Race for Life. More local people are involved as the torch goes up the coast. Sally Murray from Stranraer carries it in Ballantrae, Stranraer scoutleader Alastair Campbell is a bearer in Girvan - as is Debs Millington of the Terally Bay Riding for the Disabled Group at Drummore. The torch will end its first leg in Scotland on Friday, in Glasgow.",

Bieber eventually threw his weight behind the choir's efforts, leading them to clinch the festive top spot. Afterwards, Bieber said: \"I was honoured to meet everyone from the choir and I'm really happy that they got their number one.\" Their new charity single is also aiming for Christmas number one, with proceeds to be split between NHS Charities Together, which represents more than 230 NHS charities, and the Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust Charity. Bieber said he was \"humbled to team up\" with the singers. Choir member Pamela Lutalo, who worked on a 30-bed Covid ward this year, said Holy was \"a song of appreciation to families, friends, colleagues and community who have provided encouragement and support to people during the pandemic\". Mike Corr, a former immunisation clinical co-ordinator, added: \"The message that holding someone is such a special thing that it's almost a holy experience is so resonant with current difficulties and personal challenges. \"There are some special people I miss terribly and I hear them say, 'Hold me, hold me,' when all this is over.\" Holy is not the only song vying for this year's UK Christmas number one, which will be unveiled on BBC Radio 1 on Christmas Day.

            "input": "From midnight on Wednesday, they are required only in Auckland, the heart of a recent outbreak, and on planes. The rest of New Zealand lifted all pandemic restrictions on Monday. New Zealand was widely praised for its swift response to Covid-19 and everyday life largely went back to normal in June, but the virus reappeared in Auckland in August. The country's biggest city went back into lockdown, temporarily, as other curbs were re-imposed elsewhere. New Zealand has now recorded 1,468 confirmed Covid-19 cases and 25 deaths. Why have mask rules changed? Everywhere except Auckland returned to level one - the lowest of a four-tier alert system - on Monday after seven days of no Covid-19 community cases. This means life almost as normal - no more social distancing or caps on gatherings such as weddings or sporting events. Everyone can return to work without restriction and wearing a mask is no longer compulsory on public transport. The government says face coverings aren’t necessary for the general public when there is no evidence of community transmission. But it is still encouraging people to wear masks on public transport. In Auckland, now at level two, they are still compulsory. Also, passengers on planes flying to, from and via Auckland - as well as on all Air New Zealand flights - are still required to wear masks. On Wednesday, authorities reported three new community cases that are not linked to the Auckland cluster. They are connected to a recent chartered flight from Christchurch to Auckland. Why have masks caused a stir? Face masks have become one of the big dividers of the pandemic. Long embraced in many Asian countries, they’ve been resisted by some citizens in the US, Europe and at times New Zealand too. It only became mandatory four weeks ago to wear facial coverings on public transport at alert level two and above. Now as most people return to the old normal, top epidemiologists have raised concerns about the dropping of masks. We’ve argued to \"retain mask use in specific situations like public transport and residential care facilities” until there is no community transmission for around four weeks and it’s clear the virus has been eradicated again, said Michael Baker, professor of public health at the University of Otago. But the epidemiologist, who advises the government on its Covid-19 response, acknowledges the challenge masks pose. “It gets harder to sustain interest in mask use when people think there’s no virus any more. We don’t have masks ingrained in our culture. And I think people have not got used to them at any point,” he told the BBC. On Monday New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, who has championed social distancing and masks, apologised over a maskless selfie with supporters last week, admitting she made a mistake. What are other nations doing? More than half of the world’s countries have issued nationwide mask mandates to curb the spread of Covid-19, said the Council on Foreign Relations, a US-based think tank, in early August. Vietnam was among the first to introduce compulsory mask-wearing in March. Taiwan rigorously enforces mask-wearing and extended rules last month. Both places have been internationally lauded for their success in containing the virus with very low caseloads. In some parts of the world, like Hong Kong, wearing a mask while sick was already a cultural norm after the deadly 2003 Sars outbreak. But face coverings have also ignited fierce debate. In the US, which has the most recorded Covid-19 deaths in the world, they have become a partisan issue. Self-described “anti-maskers” have even taken to the streets to protest against mandatory rules. US President Donald Trump earlier said mask-wearing was a personal choice and has been criticised by experts for his inconsistent messaging. The shifting advice on masks earlier in the pandemic is also thought to have confused some people about their utility. At first the World Health Organization and the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said there wasn’t enough evidence that healthy members of the general public should wear masks. But both later advised wearing a mask where social distancing was unfeasible to help curb the spread of coronavirus based on growing evidence. Dale Fisher, a professor in infectious diseases at the National University of Singapore, said while it was logical for New Zealand to unmask if the virus was eradicated, he questioned how it would respond when the country opened up to the world again. “It’s wonderful in the short-term. They can go to the rugby, not wear masks, crowd pubs,” he told the BBC. “But eventually they’re going to have to say we’re opening the borders and we’re going to have cases and clusters.” No one believes the \"fairytale\" that there will be a fully effective and fully taken up vaccine so masks \"will be an important part of the defence\", he added.

            "input": "The government plans to scrap the scheme in England, which is aimed at encouraging poorer pupils to stay in education, from September next year. Supporters of the EMA, which is worth up to £30 a week, say it stops thousands of students dropping out. However, ministers say it is an inefficient scheme. Chancellor George Osborne announced plans to axe the scheme in the spending review, saying it had very high \"dead weight costs\". There are no plans to cut the similar schemes that operate in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. The Department for Education plans to replace the scheme with targeted support for pupils who it says \"face genuine financial barriers to participation\". 'Lifeline' Several studies show the EMA, introduced by Labour, as a key factor in increasing and maintaining the number of young people taking part in education. Recent research suggests students on EMA miss fewer classes and are more likely to stay on in college than wealthier students, despite the fact they tend to have poorer prior attainment. The EMA is effective because it is only paid if recipients attend all their classes. Colleges and schools withdraw the week's money if pupils miss class without a good reason. And many pupils depend on it to fund their transport, books and even basic living costs. However, School Minister Nick Gibb cited research in which 90% of EMA recipients questioned said they would stay in education even if they did not receive the allowance. He said a \"very generous\" support fund would be created and targeted at the remaining 10%. A report by the centre-right Policy Exchange think-tank in 2008 called for allowance to be axed, saying it had insufficient impact on participation. Save EMA campaign organiser James Mills said many students would drop out of education if the scheme was scrapped. \"When there were problems with the administration of the allowance a couple of years ago I remember lecturers at my college bringing in bags of shopping for pupils who did not get their money,\" he said. Seven trade unions - including the UCU, the NUT, Nasuwt and the ATL - have been joining the protests, which were scheduled for lunchtime in about 100 colleges around England. In some cities such as Birmingham and Leicester, and parts of north-west England, as many as four-fifths of students receive the allowance. Ahead of a protest at the City of Bath College, principle Matt Atkinson said axing EMA would lead to pupils dropping out. \"Where you have got colleges that are serving rural areas, a lot of these young people are using EMAs to actually get to college,\" he said. \"For young people from disadvantaged backgrounds this is a significant contribution to the household income.\" General secretary of the UCU lecturers' union Sally Hunt said the EMA was a vital lifeline for many students. \"Withdrawing the EMA will hit some of the poorest and most vulnerable people in our society, as well as the colleges that are there to serve them.\" Rethink urged Christine Blower, general secretary of the National Union of Teachers, said if the EMA was axed it would be a disaster for social justice and for the economy. \"Education is the major factor in social mobility, ending the EMA will mean that many students from less well off backgrounds will simply not be able to countenance continuing with further education.\" General secretary of the Nasuwt teaching union Chris Keates said: \"The abolition of the EMA is a direct attack on the futures of thousands of young people across the country. They have a right to be angry and to use the democratic process to influence elected representatives to oppose these changes.\" ATL general secretary, Dr Mary Bousted, said: \"Cutting the EMA will hit the most disadvantaged students hard and make it impossible for some to stay in education.\" The Association of Colleges shares the concerns and its chief executive Martin Doel has written to Michael Gove asking for him to rethink the plans. Mr Gibb said: \"Given the economic climate, the state of the public finances and the very difficult decisions we have had to make across government, it is only right that we should find a better, more effective way of targeting support to those young people who really need financial support to continue in education.\"",

            "input": "By BBC TrendingWhat's popular and why But some people on social media, seemingly mostly Brexit supporters, suspect that the vote will be anything but fair. They believe that the establishment is not above fixing the vote to thwart the democratic will of the electorate. The run up to the referendum has seen the rise of the hashtag #usepens which urges people to reject the traditional pencils supplied at polling stations and instead use a pen to mark their cross on the voting paper. The thinking behind this is that it will then be impossible for some unknown hand to use an eraser to rub out your cross and make another mark in the other box. The hashtag seems to reflect the sentiment captured in a YouGov poll which suggested 46% of Leave voters thought it likely that the EU referendum would be rigged. However, some on the other side of the argument in the Remain camp, clearly regard the thinking behind #usepens as an absurd conspiracy theory and that those who advocate it are members of the tin hat brigade. Why are you given a pencil to vote? The theory of pencils marks being erased in any vote is an old concern. BBC Trending spoke to the Electoral Commission to ask why pencils and not pens are issued in the voting booth. In an email it explained that: \"the use of a pen or pencil when completing the ballot paper is not specified in legislation. In the UK, pencils are traditionally used for the purposes of marking ballot papers and are made available inside polling stations for voters to use. Having said this, there is nothing to stop a voter from using a pen to mark their vote - there is no legal requirement for ballot papers to be marked with a pencil. Pencils have been used partly for historic and partly for practical reasons.\" More information on how to vote on polling day can be found here.

A request by Conservative AM Darren Millar for approval to introduce a private member's bill was defeated 30 votes to 17 on Wednesday. Wales' Environment Minister said he wanted to give the industry \"another opportunity to step up to the plate\". John Griffiths said discarded chewing gum cost local authorities hundreds of thousands of pounds to clear up and contributed to the \"run down feeling of an area\". \"I am firmly of the view that the polluter should pay and that manufacturers should do far more to deal with these issues,\" he said. Under Mr Millar's proposed levy, the money raised would pay for cleaning up discarded gum and anti-litter publicity campaigns. Mr Millar said legislation adding 5p to the cost of a packet of chewing gum sold in shops in Wales would help alleviate a growing litter problem. Rob Peterson, Wrigley senior vice-president and chief innovation officer at its corporate headquarters in Chicago, was among company representatives who met Mr Millar recently in Cardiff. Wrigley head of corporate affairs Sian O'Keefe said: \"We share the frustration that the public often feel in seeing gum litter on the streets. \"But we fundamentally believe that what will change that phenomenon is public education. \"So when people realise that dropping gum on the ground is littering and that they need to do the right thing and put it in the bin that's when we see a reduction in gum litter.\" She said a levy would not work and would \"penalise all consumers, whether or not they dispose of their gum correctly or not\". Some could even see it as a \"licence to litter\" and make the problem worse. The company was working with local authorities and printed messages about responsible disposal on all its packets, she added. Wrigley has also briefed AMs and MPs on progress on developing a \"removable gum base,\" which would be less adhesive and easier to clean. Mr Millar won the opportunity to put his idea forward through a ballot. Speaking before the vote, he said: \"Chewing gum litter is a blight on our streets and costs councils thousands to remove. \"The introduction of a small levy on a packet of chewing gum can help tackle this problem and change the behaviour of those who choose to spit their gum onto our streets.\" Related Internet Links Darren Millar AM Wrigley National Assembly for Wales",

The main bitcoin exchange shut down for 12 hours to install hardware to help it cope with trading volumes. In addition, malicious software is emerging that seeks out and empties the virtual wallets of bitcoin owners. MTGox, on which most bitcoin trading takes place, was overwhelmed earlier this week by the amount of people who joined the exchange to trade the virtual cash. The computer problems prompted a round of panic selling that forced values to plunge. The exchange went offline to beef up its hardware to cope with trading volumes and stem the fall in value. However, soon after trading resumed the site came under a sustained hack attack which saw it bombarded with data. In a tweet, MTGox said the it was being hit by a \"stronger than usual\" attack. It went offline again to avoid the attack and when it re-started, bitcoins continued to fall in value. Early on 12 April each bitcoin was worth about $90 (£58).

In the message was a link that supposedly connected to an official MTGox chat site.

I didn't know how much a month I should be putting in but people kept telling me about this simple magic formula. Apparently you halve the age you are on the day you start paying in and that's the percentage of your wages you need to pay every month, until you retire. So in my case, 14% of what I earn every month until retirement. That's a workplace pension, and financial experts say small differences at the beginning of our careers can make a huge difference at the end. Matt Wain from Manchester started paying into his pension when he was 20 and hopes his financial forward-planning will help him to retire at 55. So how much should people save? State pension v workplace pension The state pension comes from the government and is based on your national insurance (NI) contributions. The age you'd start getting a state pension age has just increased to 66 years old, and that will go up gradually over the next two decades. You need to make ten full years worth of national insurance contributions to get some money from a state pension. To get the full state amount, currently £175.20 a week, you will need 35 years worth of NI contributions. Your workplace pension is what you pay through your employer, which they top up. So in theory when you look at your wage slip, there are two pensions going on. Use the government's calculator to find out your state pension age Matt, 23, says he started paying into his workplace pension three years ago because he didn't want to miss out on the \"free money\" from the top-up. He plans on upping his contributions every year. \"I like taking responsibility for my financial future,\" Matt tells Newsbeat. \"I've got my spreadsheets for how much I need [to retire] for when I'm 55.\" He's gone a step further and moved his pension into a private account - something his employer has agreed to pay into - so when he changes jobs keeping track of his savings is easier. What do his mates think of his attention to detail? \"It's important to do it young,\" he says. Since 2018, employers have to put their staff into a pension scheme. You can opt out if you like but, as well as the long-term benefits you'd get, you're unlikely to pay tax on the money you put in. Sarah Coles is a personal finance expert at Hardgreaves Lansdown. She tell us: \"If your employer puts in the equivalent of 3% of your salary and you put in 5%, that's much better than nothing but by no means enough.\" She thinks if you want a comfortable retirement you need to up the amount you put in. How much should I pay in? Sarah agrees that the magic formula I mentioned earlier is a strong starting point. She knows that when you are starting out there are a lot of costs, and housing is often thought of as the main big ticket to be saving for. \"Try to stick to between 12% and 15% throughout most of your career\" says Sarah. \"Even going up by 1 or 2% is going to make a major difference over the long run.\" Sade Taiwo from Essex runs a money advice service for millennials called The Penny Pal. She tells Newsbeat: \"I started paying into my pension at the age of 22, so basically as soon as I could. \" \"What many people don't understand is that if you opt out of a workplace pension you are literally missing out on free money.\" Sade wishes people would look to the long term, especially with interest rates so low at the moment - meaning you don't get so much for keeping your cash in savings accounts. \"With our generation's average house deposit being £46k, I am really investing in my pension this early out of fear that I won't be able to afford retirement.\" It's so far off - I want the money now Is that holiday next summer top of your financial to-do list? Sarah Coles says you need to think of pensions as \"money for you\". She hopes this helps people balance access to money for a rainy day with money for your pension. Sarah thinks people shouldn't rely on their state pension alone. Anyone born after 1977 won't get their state pension till they are 68 and many reckon the age will be over 70 by 2035. What happens when you move job? It's thought people have an average of 11 jobs in their life. So it's important to take your work pensions with you. \"When you leave, talk to your [old] employer about what's in there, and make sure there is nothing really valuable like tax-free cash\", Sarah says. \"[Then you might] keep that where it is. Otherwise look at consolidating it. \"You might be able to move it to your current employers or to a personal pension where it is all in one place.\" Follow Newsbeat on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.

Ben's father Harold, 47, - believed by Devon and Cornwall Police to be responsible - died from burns. The 47-year-old, who had mental health issues, had been asked to move out. 'Broken glass' Forensic scientists told the inquest it appeared Mrs Philpotts died in a flash fire after her badly burned body was found near a petrol can. Mrs Philpotts' mother, who lived with the family, said she had heard an explosion and the sound of broken glass but had been unable to reach her daughter because of thick smoke. The scientists said ten-year-old Ben was found with severe head injuries in his bedroom. A sledgehammer was lying nearby. His father was found outside the property with serious burns and died in hospital eight days later. The inquest heard that Mr Philpotts had previously been admitted to hospital for mental health problems which included depression, delusion and paranoia, but he had discharged himself before treatment.

            "input": "Scottish ministers said the \"new model of green ports\" would be focused on inclusive growth, fair work practices and delivering a net zero economy. Free ports allow firms to import goods and then re-export them outside normal tax and customs rules. The Scottish Conservatives said it was a \"screeching U-turn\" as the SNP have been critical of the free port plan. The UK government is planning to create a number of free ports across the UK following Brexit, claiming they will act as \"business and enterprise hubs\", creating thousands of jobs. The Scottish government, however, has voiced concern that they could lead to deregulation and a watering down of workers' rights. Scottish trade minister Ivan McKee previously warned they could become \"low wage, low value opportunities\" - however, he insisted that would not be allowed to happen in Scotland. Under the Scottish government's proposals, operators and businesses benefiting from the green port incentives would, among other things, have to pay the real living wage and \"commit to supporting sustainable and inclusive growth in local communities\". Plans to create a free trade zone have previously been put forward for the Highlands' Cromarty Firth. Rosyth, Dundee, Hunterston, Orkney and Aberdeen have also been suggested as possible sites. What are free ports? Also called free trade zones, they are designated areas where the normal tax and tariff rules of the country in which they are based do not apply. They allow goods to be imported, manufactured and re-exported without being subject to checks, paperwork, or import taxes, known as tariffs. This means raw materials can be imported, then engineered into whole products for export. Typically, companies operating in the zone pay lower taxes, such as reduced VAT and lower rates of employment tax. But critics argue they simply defer the point when import tariffs are paid, which then still need to be paid at some stage. Mr McKee, who will hold discussions on the proposals with the UK government next week, said: \"The reputation of freeports across the world is mixed, with concerns about deregulation and risks of criminality, tax evasion and reductions in workers' rights raised. \"That is not a model nor an approach that this Scottish government will sign up to or allow here in Scotland. \"And it is clear that free ports cannot and will not undo the damage being caused to Scotland's economy by the UK government's decision to take us out of the EU, the world's biggest single market.\" He added: \"Instead, we propose to take the free port model and apply Scotland's priorities to it, so that it meets our ambition to deliver a net zero, wellbeing economy that upholds the highest standards of environmental protections and fair work practices and supports our strategy of building clusters of high productivity businesses across Scotland's regions.\" 'Humiliating climbdown' Scottish Conservative economy spokesman Maurice Golden described it as a \"humliating climbdown\" for the SNP. He said: \"Just a few months ago, Ivan McKee was claiming that free ports are a 'shiny squirrel' and the SNP conference backed a motion slamming them. \"This screeching SNP U-turn is very welcome. It seems they have finally realised that businesses are desperate to reap the benefits from free ports. \"The Scottish Conservatives and UK government have said for months that the SNP should stop playing politics and start working constructively to take these proposals forward.\" Scottish Labour's economy and jobs spokesman Alex Rowley said his party would work with the Scottish government to deliver \"quality green jobs\". \"We welcome the commitment to incentivise employers to pay the living wage, and the SNP government should extend this to all aspects of government - including the procurement of all public contracts,\" he said. He added: \"While we welcome this policy on pay, we need a strong commitment from ministers that they will work with trade unions and provide further guarantees that pursuing free ports will not lead to a race to the bottom on workers' terms and conditions. 'Greenwashing risk' The Scottish Greens said rebranding free ports as green ports \"could lead to a race to the bottom in environmental protections\". Environmental spokesman Mark Ruskell said: \"Simply calling a free port 'green' doesn't guarantee environmental and workers standards, and presents a real risk of greenwashing a deregulated race to the bottom.\" The Scottish Chambers of Commerce, however, welcomed the proposals. Chief executive Liz Cameron said: \"Whilst we await further detail from the government, it seems they have listened to the key asks from business including the provision of investment incentives and a package of tax and customs reliefs. \"Now, we will want to engage with government on the design and delivery of green ports in Scotland.\"",

Zoe Carter-Mackay, who walked herself down the aisle, says that before getting married she and her husband-to-be asked themselves which traditions \"felt right\" and which felt \"weird\". \"That was the starting point for thinking whether - as a 35-year-old - I should be given away by my dad to another man,\" she says. Ask me Share this chatbot \"My parents divorced when I was 14 - I have a great relationship with my dad but I also have four parents now, as both remarried. \"I think a lot of women who have divorced parents think whether their mum or their brother might walk them down the aisle. \"For me it just felt right that I would walk myself - I wasn't being given away. When I came to end of the aisle I gave my dad a kiss, which was acknowledging my respect for him.\" A recent YouGov poll showed that 69% of Britons remain in favour of fathers walking their daughters down the aisle - though that figure is down from 82% in 2014. Sarah George, of Bride magazine, argues the principles behind the tradition are \"outdated and old fashioned\". \"Nowadays, we see more variations,\" she says, \"with some opting to go it alone or with a pet by their side, walking arm-in-arm with their mother or a sibling, or most unconventionally of all - arriving at the altar with their husband- or wife-to-be.\" Why do fathers walk their daughters down the aisle? Fathers traditionally walked their daughters down the aisle as a symbolic gesture stemming from the idea that daughters were considered the property of their fathers. Daughters were exchanged for a dowry or bride price, after which they became the property and financial responsibility of their husband. In England, the idea that women were property began to be eroded in the 14th Century following a series of laws introduced by King Richard II establishing both men and women's individual employment rights. The Married Women's Property Act 1882 formally ended the concept by enshrining in law married women's ability to independently own and control property in the UK. Dr Kathleen Puech was accompanied down the aisle by both parents when she married her husband 20 years ago - and feels it is time to \"move past the point when a woman is given by one man to another man\". \"I don't agree with the system of a man giving away a woman to another man,\" she says. \"It's fundamentally wrong and we need to change it. \"Women need to realise it is wrong and we need to stand up for ourselves. \"Ideally, I think a woman should give herself away. She's making this step, not her parents, but if you want to keep a bit of tradition you can have both parents.\" The change in attitudes towards weddings is not limited to ceremony entrances, either. Multiple best men and maid of honour speeches are not uncommon while many women are opting to keep their own names. \"I actually grew up in India,\" says Dr Puech. \"Lots of my Indian friends haven't changed their names and yet all of my female British and Irish friends have - it's odd, as India is meant to be far less progressive.\" \"It's not even just weddings,\" adds Ms Carter-Mackay. \"I think there's a lot of questioning the way things have always been. I think a lot of them are based around stereotypes and gender roles. \"I don't think there's anything wrong with traditions but I'm a mix of traditional and modern and it's fine to cherry-pick what feels right to you.\"",

            "input": "Toronto-based research group Citizen Lab found that WeChat blocked combinations of keywords and criticism of President Xi Jinping. The report also found that WeChat, owned by Chinese firm Tencent, blocked more words as the outbreak grew. China has for years censored what its people read and say online. But this report suggests China began censoring discussions weeks before officials began acknowledging the severity of the outbreak. It was on 31 December that China first alerted the World Health Organization to an outbreak of a new coronavirus in the city of Wuhan. But authorities initially withheld information from the public - under-reporting the number of people infected, downplaying the risks, and failing to provide timely information that could have saved lives. It was only on 20 January that Chinese president Xi Jinping publicly addressed the issue of the virus, saying it had to be \"resolutely contained\". It's not clear if the social media platforms blocked these keyword combinations based on government directives - or if it was done of its own accord. However, the report suggests that it could be the result of companies \"over-censoring in order to avoid official reprimands\". Authorities have confirmed more than 92,000 cases of the virus worldwide - of which more than 80,000 are in China. The keywords censored A report released by the University of Toronto's Citizen Lab on Tuesday looked into two Chinese social media platforms - WeChat and live-streaming site YY. YY was found to have added 45 keywords to its blacklist on 31 December - which made references to the virus that was then unidentified. These key words included the terms \"Unknown Wuhan pneumonia\" and \"SARS outbreak in Wuhan\". WeChat was found to have censored 132 keyword combinations between 1 - 31 January. As the outbreak continued, WeChat censored 384 new keywords between 1 - 15 February. These include keywords that referenced Chinese leaders - including President Xi - as well as neutral references to government policies on handling the epidemic, and responses to the outbreak in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Macau. Some examples of censored combinations are \"Local authorities + Epidemic + Central (government) + Cover up\" and \"Wuhan + Obviously + Virus + Human-to-human transmission\". References to Dr Li Wenliang also accounted for 19 censored keyword combinations. Dr Li Wenliang was among a group of doctors in Wuhan who issued the first warnings about the virus in late December. He was later told by police to stop making \"false comments\". Dr Li later contracted the virus himself and died of the disease aged 33. The report adds that it is possible that WeChat has unblocked keywords as the outbreak continues to develop. YY is known to have unblocked certain keywords. It is not clear what keywords, if any, continue to be censored on these platforms. The report adds that censorship in China works through a system of \"self-discipline\" where companies are held liable for content on their platforms. The censorship is particularly damaging because WeChat is such a central part of many people's lives in China - it is, in effect, WhatsApp, Facebook, Apple Pay and more, rolled into one. App users are able to book flights, hail taxis and even transfer money - all on WeChat alone. And it's not used by individuals alone - government authorities often also release official statements on the app. \"It's appalling to see the wide range of terms, even including some non-sensitive terms, [being] censored,\" Patrick Poon, a researcher at Amnesty International told the BBC. \"It shows how obsessed and concerned the Chinese government is [in] trying to curb any discussion... that falls outside the official narrative. \"It's totally about social control and deprives citizens of their rights to freedom of information and expression.\" Censorship is pervasive in China. Sites such as Google and Wikipedia are banned - and it's not uncommon for social media companies in China to remove content that is perceived to be threatening to social stability or the ruling Communist Party.",

The 43 farms' contracts will expire and they will have to find other buyers if they do not pay an extra 1.75p per litre. Muller said it was looking at other growth options in Scotland. The Muller Milk and Ingredients subsidiary is investing £15m over three years at its Bellshill dairy in Lanarkshire, aiming to expand its range of products. But the staff union Usdaw said workers at the dairies would be \"understandably devastated\" by the company's proposed closure of their sites. Spokesman Daniel Adams said: \"We will now enter into a full consultation process to interrogate the business case and do all we can to save jobs. We are providing our members with the support, advice and representation that they require at this very difficult and worrying time.\" In 2012, the German company bought Robert Wiseman dairy, which was based in East Kilbride. Last December, it bought Dairy Crest's dairy operations. Analysis by Douglas Fraser, BBC Scotland business and economy editor There's still lots of demand for fresh milk in Britain, but it's not growing much. And while dairy farmers are very pressured on price, the big dairies want to grow their businesses through efficiency and adding value in a wider range of products Graham's the Family Dairy, based near Stirling, has invested in making and marketing butter and cheese as well as fresh milk. Muller, which is supplied by about 200 Scottish farms - more than twice as many as Graham's - has signalled it wants to invest in that wider product range as well. Its desserts division already dominates the UK yoghurt market. If it follows the example of Muller's giant dairy in Bavaria, a bigger, more efficient Bellshill dairy would also expand into whey and bio-ethanol for fuel. And with a wider yoghurt and cheese range, it would reduce Britain's dependence on £2bn-worth of imported dairy products, much of that from France. Bellshill is seen by the company as having the advantage of space to expand and fast links to distribution depots in Glasgow and Aberdeen. If the closures go ahead, it would mean only one Muller dairy serving the whole of Scotland. Muller is judging it as more important to process close to the main population centres and to be close to the Ayrshire and Fife \"milk fields\", even if that means alienating the 43 big north-east supplier farms. By charging Aberdeenshire farmers for the cost of getting milk to Bellshill, the market signal from Muller is that the north-east producers will have to become more efficient still if they are to cover the extra cost of getting to market. For other farm suppliers, that transport cost is absorbed into the farm-gate price. The closure process means a 45-day statutory consultation period for staff at Aberdeen and East Kilbride in Lanarkshire. The company says both plants have been operating well below capacity. In Aberdeen, 60% of capacity is unused. Distribution depots are not under review, but some roles at the one in Aberdeen may be cut. However, it is being stressed that no decisions will be made until the end of the consultation period. If closure of the Aberdeen plant goes ahead, all 43 farmers supplying the site will have to accept a 1.75 pence per litre charge to transport milk to Bellshill. Those who do not agree to that charge will be given 12 months' notice of their contracts ending. One of the 43 suppliers to the Aberdeen plant, Roddy Catto from Hillhead of Muirton Farm in Whitecairns, said farmers had \"a lot to think about\" ahead of a meeting with the company on Friday. Mr Catto, who is also north-east chairman of the NFUS, said: \"We need to hear more about the investment plans at Bellshill, what that might mean to the Muller business and balance that against any additional transport costs we would face as Muller suppliers were the Aberdeen site to be wound down.\" \"The meeting with Muller must leave all dairy farmers in the area with a clearer view on what these proposals will mean, so that farmers can take an informed decision now on their future in milk production.\" Muller said that supply in the north-east far outstrips local demand for milk products. The East Kilbride plant is seen as inefficient in its limited range of flavoured milk and potted cream. Chilled desserts Andrew McInnes, managing director of Muller Milk and Ingredients said: \"We aim to reinvigorate our fresh milk and ingredients business in Scotland and propose to invest to make Bellshill a centre of excellence for dairy, benefitting consumers, customers, employees and farmers. \"It is important to stress that the status quo is just not viable in the medium term. Our Scottish dairies are inefficient and costly which is putting a brake on the innovation and investment needed to stimulate new demand for dairy products.\" He added: \"We will enter the consultation with an open mind, and will rigorously assess the situation and listen to our colleagues before arriving at a decision.\" Muller Milk and Ingredients division produces fresh milk for brands including Black & White, The One, freshnlo and Frijj. It can also produce butter for UK and international markets. Aberdeenshire councillor David Aitchison said the authority was \"deeply concerned\" at the announcement. \"This has far-reaching implications on dairy farming in Aberdeenshire - an industry which is already struggling in a highly price-competitive market,\" he said. \"This is a further blow to an industry which is struggling to make Scottish dairy more competitive with overseas imports, risking the national viability of the entire sector.\"",

Jan Melia, from the organisation, said it was \"hugely frustrating\" that it was \"just sitting there gathering dust\". The new law recognised that domestic abuse happened over time and for a long time, she added. According to statistics published on the PSNI website, there were 29,166 domestic abuse incidents record in 2016-17, the most in more than a decade. However, the level of domestic abuse crimes recorded dropped to 13,933, in comparison to 14,073 in 2015-16. In 2016-17, 69% of domestic abuse crime victims were female and 31% were male. During the same year, more than 50% of relationships between domestic abuse victims and offenders were categorised as current or ex spouse/partner. Coercive control model Jan Melia says there is currently no single piece of legislation that describes domestic abuse. \"What we have is different pieces of law that have a domestic motivation and are cobbled together to create a case,\" she said. The new law would put domestic abuse \"up there\", she said, and would give police and the courts \"more tools to their armoury\" in terms of prosecutions. \"The legislation is based on the coercive control model,\" she said. \"It's recognition that violence happens as part of an ongoing continuum of behaviour. \"For example, a physical assault can happen and then there's a period where emotional abuse happens, but there's no physical assault and then physical assault comes back.\" Ms Melia added: \"I would like the law out there... and with that a whole campaign about emotional abuse. \"Women tell us they don't often recognise abuse until it become physical but by then it is often too late. \"What we want to say to women is emotional abuse is abuse and this piece of legislation will help do that.\" Reports every 18 minutes A seminar was held in Belfast on Friday by the Bar Council for NI, to discuss \"developments in national law for protecting and supporting women who have suffered gender violence\". Speaking after the conference former police deputy chief constable, Judith Gillespie, told the BBC that domestic abuse incidents are reported to the police every 18 minutes. The now independent advisor added that incidents are \"hugely underreported\" and that the overall figures \"is much bigger\". Ms Gillespie said that, prior to the collapse of the executive in January 2017, draft legislation was formed which recognised coercive and controlling behaviour. \"Unfortunately in the absence of an executive, those new pieces of legislation haven't been passed yet, although they do exist in England and Wales,\" she added. \"We have the opportunity to learn from England and Wales, but it's a real shame we are not moving forward in passing those new pieces of legislation which could protect victims.\" Meanwhile, Northern Ireland's Presiding District Judge, Fiona Bagnall told the BBC 60% of violent offences with which she deals in court have a domestic setting. \"It is a huge problem in our society,\" she said. \"The big difficulty is the complainant tends to withdraw complaints and evidence. \"There are lots of reasons - fear, reconciling with their partner, feeling intimidated by their partner, family pressures - all of those pressures and stresses play on the complainant.\" The Department of Justice said that, while new legislation can only be taken forward once a minister is in post, the department continues to work with key stakeholders including Women's Aid, the police and the Public Prosecution in the development of a new bill to address domestic abuse. \"Within that work, provisions are being developed to provide the police with the opportunity to intervene in the early stages of abuse and also enable prosecutions to be taken forward that may not currently be possible,\" said a department spokesman.",

            "input": "By Steven BrocklehurstBBC Scotland news website The bridge connecting Edinburgh and Fife was shut on Monday night after accumulations of ice and snow fell from cables on to the carriageway. Eight vehicles were damaged and the bridge remained closed until Wednesday morning on safety grounds. Mark Arndt, of Forth Bridges Unit with Amey, said the closure was caused by a \"unique set of weather conditions\". He said a combination of strong westerly winds along with snow and sleet resulted in accumulations on the main cables. At an elevated height, that snow accumulation became chilled, he said. It then fell to the carriageway as ice. What's the issue with ice? Scotland's Transport Minister Michael Matheson said this was the first time the bridge had been closed in the two-and-a-half years since it opened. He said there had been a similar incident last year but the bridge had not been closed. Mr Matheson said the bridge authorities were in the advanced stage of the process of fitting ice sensors on the cables to detect accumulations. The transport minister claimed the new crossing had displayed much greater resilience than the Forth Road Bridge had before it. Mr Matheson said there had been 30 occasions since the Queensferry Crossing opened where the old Forth Road Bridge would have been partially or completely closed. That is due to the high winds that often batter the Forth estuary. One of the design features of the £1.35bn Queensferry Crossing was that it was fitted with 3.5m-high baffle barriers to break up and deflect gusts of wind. They were modelled in a wind tunnel by Italian engineers and tested on sections of road near the bridge. Before it opened, bridge operators said the wind shields should \"almost entirely eliminate the need for closures\" and that has been the case until now. The Forth Road Bridge, in contrast, was often closed to high-sided vehicles and HGVs. Queensferry Crossing - facts and figures The 1.7 miles (2.7km) publicly-funded crossing was the biggest infrastructure project in Scotland in a generation and carries about 24 million vehicle journeys a year. The structure is 207m above high tide (683ft), equivalent to about 48 double-decker buses stacked on top of each other. The steel required for the bridge deck weighs a total of 35,000 tonnes - equivalent to almost 200 Boeing 747s. Cables can be replaced with more ease than on the Forth Road Bridge - it can be done as part of normal maintenance works without closing the bridge. The foundations of the bridge are large caisson - circular steel structures - sunk into the mud of the estuary to bedrock level. The south caisson is the height of the Statue of Liberty. It is 35m in diameter and when it was constructed it was 50m in height. Stormiest conditions The Queensferry Crossing is the longest three-tower, cable-stayed bridge in the world. Designers said wind shields along each side of the bridge were tested against the stormiest of conditions. Before it opened, Mike Glover, technical director for the Queensferry Crossing Project, told BBC Scotland's Brainwaves programme one solution considered had been a solid barrier to stop the wind getting through. However, he said that would have changed the dynamics of the bridge \"quite dramatically and not positively\". \"So what you have to do is create a wind screen which accepts the fact that air pressure will come through,\" he said. \"You are creating a permeable screen through which some of the air comes but the rest is scooped up and over the bridge.\" Bridge expert Alan Simpson, a past chairman of the Institution of Civil Engineers Scotland, said the barriers were \"more like a thick hedge than a wall\". Other more modern long bridges in the UK, such as the Second Severn Crossing, opened in 1996, have some wind shield protection, usually on either side of the bridge towers. But the Queensferry Crossing has wind shields across its full length. Mr Simpson said: \"The wind on the Forth is so strong in comparison to the other major bridges. We are talking about a bridge at the same latitude as Labrador in Canada.\" Building a major bridge at such northerly latitudes and in such an hostile environment was a difficult test for its designers. But they had not reckoned with the circumstances that created icicles on the cables. Ice build-up of this kind has not been an issue on the other Scottish cable-stayed bridges, Erskine on the Clyde and Kessock, near Inverness. Transport Secretary Michael Matheson also pointed out that the ice accumulation was not a problem during the so-called Beast from The East, one of the worst weather events to hit the country in years. He said it was a very \"limited set of circumstances\" that led to the problem. Mr Matheson said the bridge operators were looking at the problems experienced by similar bridges around the world in a bid to mitigate against the risk. One of the suggestions is \"collars\" released down the length of the cables to clear ice accumulations, which have been fitted on the Port Mann Bridge in Vancouver, Canada. \"One of the challenges is that there is no single solution.\" the transport secretary said. \"They all have to be designed and developed on the very specific circumstances that the bridge is experiencing.\" In the meantime, the politician said work was being taken forward to introduce ice sensors in the coming months. However, he said: \"Ice sensors will not prevent ice and snow building up on certain occasions. They are there to provide a warning.\" Time will tell whether this leads to more closures in the future.",

He said the party had \"not really addressed\" the key economic issues in the 2015 general election campaign. A \"community-rooted\" response could reconnect with voters, he added. Writing on the Labour List website, Mr Jones explained how he responded to the general election defeat to ensure the party recovered in time to keep power in Cardiff Bay. Speaking of how he was \"ripped into\" at a Labour public consultation event in Gower, which the Tories had won for the first time in a century, he said the \"heated contributions\" from the floor had been \"hard, but necessary\". \"We wanted a no-holds barred assessment of what people thought about politics, and about Labour - and we were getting it,\" he said. Mr Jones said \"ambitious but simple\" assembly election pledges had been developed by having \"meaningful\" conversations with voters, \"turning their concerns into visible action and plans for the future\". Labour won 29 of the assembly's 60 seats, and has kept power by agreeing to consult Plaid Cymru on a range of issues. However, the first minister said surges in support for Plaid and UKIP in the south Wales valleys showed the need for a \"new, different and community-rooted response from our local parties\". Mr Jones said such politics was not \"quintessentially Welsh\", but \"quintessentially Labour\". \"In London, Sadiq Khan's superb campaign [in the mayoral election] also showed that Labour can win, right now in 2016, when the politicians give our organisers and volunteers the things they need,\" he wrote. \"Clear messaging, strong leadership, and a willingness to reach out to the public, even when they've got hard things to say back to us.\"",

Welsh ministers say having fewer members - who should all hold cabinet rank - would help improve governance. However, John Thomas, Tory leader in the Vale of Glamorgan, has called for \"more radical options\", saying a single national service could save money. The Labour Welsh Government wants to keep the existing regional services covering North Wales, South Wales, and Mid and West Wales. But it wants to cut the number of councillors sitting on the authorities, to ensure they are governed in a \"modern, accountable and sustainable way\". This would mean just one representative for each council, instead of up to seven as is currently the case. Councils are also recommended to nominate cabinet members rather than backbenchers, to ensure fire authorities have the management expertise to take decisions and challenge senior officers. However, Mr Thomas has called for an even bigger shake-up in the council's response to the consultation - published in a report to the Vale of Glamorgan Council cabinet on Monday. He pointed to the recent creation of an all-Scotland fire and rescue service and the existing Welsh Ambulance Service. \"A national organisation would be able to make significant administrative and managerial savings by eliminating regional duplication,\" Mr Thomas said in a draft response to the consultation. Keeping a regional and local presence could ensure flexibility and responsiveness, and frontline services could be boosted by reinvesting the back-office savings, he added. However, the Welsh Government rejects the idea of a single national service in its consultation document, arguing that a merger would result in a loss of local knowledge and control, and might not save money. The cabinet deferred a decision on the response until 4 February, according to the Local Democracy Reporting Service.",

The company is now lodging an appeal with ministers. Dart said it wanted \"clarity\" on its application as the council had not yet reached a decision. It added that the significance of the Airth project made the appeal \"the most appropriate route\" for a decision. The company, which has already drilled 20 wells in the area, wants to drill at a further 14 sites and build a water and gas treatment plant. Several hundred objections to the plans have been lodged with the council. Dart also applied last year to Stirling Council for planning permission, as part of the gas field lies inside its boundaries. The planning process is, however, being led by Falkirk. In a statement, the firm said the deadline for a decision by Falkirk Council had so far been extended by four months and \"clarity\" was now needed on its application. 'Nationally significant' Mark Lappin, Europe general manager for Dart Energy, said: \"Our proposal to extract coal-bed methane gas from the Forth Valley basin has been very carefully developed in close consultation with relevant regulatory bodies such as the Scottish Environment Protection Agency. \"The potential of this project is nationally significant on many counts. \"The volume of gas is such that we have an agreement in place to supply Scottish and Southern Energy - a key contribution to Scottish and UK energy security at a time of declining North Sea supplies.\" Mr Lappin added: \"We very much hope that in giving full consideration to the application the Scottish government will recognise the strategic importance of Dart's investment and the value of this vital natural resource to Scotland's overall energy mix.\" 'Complex application' Falkirk Council development manager Ian Dryden said the council was aware of Dart's decision to lodge an appeal, although it had not yet received formal notification. He added: \"This is a complex planning application which has raised a number of significant environmental related issues and received substantial public representation which must be fully considered as part of the assessment of this planning application. \"Although no agreement had been reached to extend the determination date beyond 7 May, planning officers have remained in active dialogue with Dart Energy throughout this process.\" Friends of the Earth Scotland called on the Scottish government to turn down the application as soon as possible. Campaigns co-ordinator Mary Church said: \"This is a clear sign that Dart is so desperate for a decision that it is unwilling to let the proper democratic processes take place within the councils. She added: \"It's increasingly clear that the public health and environmental risks of unconventional gas drilling are inherent and impossible to eliminate.\" Drilling history The Airth project has been existence for a number of years. Five wells drilled in the area in the 1990s established the presence of natural gas in coal seams. Ten more wells were drilled by Composite Energy between 2004 and 2011, before it was acquired by Dart Energy. Since then, one further well has been drilled which is now producing gas. Gas is now being used to generate electricity which is then exported into the local power network. Dart said it was delivering sufficient electricity for about 300 homes. In August 2011, Dart International and SSE Energy Supply Limited entered into a gas sales agreement for five years, with effect from April this year. Dart says no hydraulic fracture stimulation, or \"fracking\", is employed on its wells.",

            "input": "By Virginia BrownBBC News Magazine The outpouring of online odium that followed the posting on YouTube of Rebecca Black's Friday would be enough to make many people faint of heart. The song was ruthlessly criticised online with harsh complaints about her use of Auto-Tune, a device that corrects pitch, the cloying nature of her video, but most of all, the mindbogglingly banal lyrics. \"Yesterday was Thursday, Thursday. Today is Friday, Friday\" are the kind of lyrics that don't exactly sit well with a tough crowd of YouTube followers. Some critics went as far as describing Friday as the worst song ever. But the song ranked top in global trending topics on Twitter, surpassing the Japanese earthquake crisis. Despite receiving millions of \"dislikes\" on YouTube, Black's single has sold well as a download. And she has used her brush with unpopularity to release a new single, My Moment. It addresses the \"haters\" that have goaded the teenager. So why do people relish Black's song? \"Because it's an easy target, because we're cynical and we can unload all of our malice on its stupidity,\" says David LaGuardia, author of Trash Culture: Essays in Popular Culture. The Rebecca Black phenomenon has echoes of the equally ridiculed Florence Foster Jenkins. This shockingly bad songbird of the early 20th century was adored by crowds despite - or perhaps because of - her utter lack of singing ability. To keep a straight face through the YouTube clip of her mangling of Queen of the Night, from Mozart's Magic Flute, is an achievement. Jenkins reportedly lived in blissful ignorance, mistaking the audience's laughter for cheers, and as word of her terrible renditions spread, so did her celebrity. Eventually her fans demanded she take the stage at New York's Carnegie Hall, one that has been graced by superstars from Judy Garland to Billie Holiday. She finally agreed to perform there in 1944 just before she died - and the tickets sold out in only two weeks. Jenkins was the viral success of her day. Like Black, her career suggests that critical revulsion can be a help as much as a hindrance when it is raised to epic levels. There's a long history of \"bad\" becoming \"so bad it's good\" and earning a cult following. \"The degree of awfulness is often a cultish badge that attracts people to the media text in question,\" says Sean Redmond, co-editor of Celebrity Studies. \"Cultish bad texts provide a space for chatter and shared identification with something that isn't mainstream, polished or sterile. \"So the cultish text is often 'oppositional' in some way, it goes against the grain of the mainstream and the predictable.\" For some it's the realm of the guilty pleasure, for others it's something to \"do\" - to talk about at the watercooler and to play to a friend or a colleague. \"Cultish media often involve participation and active celebration,\" says Redmond. There's also a fascination on the part of the audience as to why someone would carry on despite a wall of virulent criticism. Stephen Temperley, who has written a play partially based on Jenkins's life, says her appeal was a \"combination of her ambition and her lack of ability to sing\". \"She must have had an innocence about her when she performed and it gave her a kind of vulnerability. The crowd was there to cheer her on while also laughing at her,\" says Temperley. Her performances provided a thrill that competent opera singers could not always generate. \"It became a big social event in New York. It gave you a certain cachet and people really competed for tickets,\" he notes. There are plenty of films that convert disliking into commercial gold. Birdemic: Shock and Terror is a recent candidate for the worst film ever made, but the self-financed romantic action-adventure of 2008 turned this status into ticket sales. The story centers around a platoon of eagles and vultures attacking a small town. Many people die. A 3D sequel is due soon. Another film The Room, which has been called \"the Citizen Kane of bad movies\", is a staple of late night showings. The YouTube haters think Black is an acceptable target for an outpouring of vitriol. \"There are simply acceptable targets for the hatred people carry around every day,\" says Rob Manuel, co-founder of the pop culture website b3ta.com. Unfortunate musicians and pop icons fall into that category.",

            "input": "We've boiled down why it matters. Turkey considers the biggest militia in the Kurdish-led alliance a terrorist organisation. It says it is an extension of a Kurdish rebel group fighting in Turkey. On 9 October, Turkish troops and allied Syrian rebels launched an offensive to create a 30km (20-mile) deep \"safe zone\" along the Syrian side of the border. It came after the withdrawal of US troops, who had relied on the Kurds to defeat the Islamic State group. The Kurds asked Syria's government and its ally, Russia, to help stop the assault. Turkey and Russia subsequently agreed to take joint control of the border area. Turkey wants to push back from its border members of a Syrian Kurdish militia called the People's Protection Units (YPG). Turkish leaders view the YPG as a terrorist organisation. They say it is an extension of the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), which has fought for Kurdish autonomy in Turkey for decades. The YPG dominates an alliance of Kurdish and Arab militias called the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), which drove IS out of a quarter of Syria with the help of a US-led multinational coalition. When the US declared the defeat of IS in March, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan pushed it to create a \"safe zone\" clear of YPG fighters in north-eastern Syria where refugees could be resettled. The US agreed to establish one together with Turkey in August and the YPG complied. But two months later, US troops pulled back from the border after Mr Erdogan decided to launch an operation to create a 440km-long \"safe zone\" unilaterally. The SDF said it had been \"stabbed in the back\" by the US and warned the defeat of IS might be reversed. On 9 October, Turkish troops and allied Syrian rebels attacked. Four days later, the SDF turned to the Syrian government and its backer, Russia, for help. They agreed to deploy Syrian soldiers to stop the advance. The US negotiated a 5-day ceasefire on 17 October to allow YPG fighters to withdraw from a 120km-long stretch of the frontier from Ras al-Ain to Tal Abyad where the fighting was focused. Just before the ceasefire expired, Mr Erdogan reached a deal with Russian President Vladimir Putin. They agreed Turkey could keep its forces in the area between Ras al-Ain and Tal Abyad, and that Russian and Syrian troops would take control of the rest of the border. Why is Turkey worried about Syria's Kurds? It feels threatened by the People's Protection Units (YPG), the military wing of the Kurdish Democratic Union Party (PYD). The Turkish government insists the YPG is an extension of the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), which has fought for Kurdish autonomy in Turkey since 1984 and is designated as a terrorist group by the US and EU. The YPG and PKK share a similar ideology, but say they are separate entities. The YPG is the dominant force in an alliance of Kurdish and Arab militias called the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF). With the help of air strikes by a US-led multinational coalition against the jihadist group Islamic State (IS), SDF fighters captured tens of thousands of square kilometres of territory in north-eastern Syria between 2015 and 2019. The SDF set up an autonomous administration to govern the region, home to three million people. It avoided conflict with the Syrian government, but sought recognition for Kurdish autonomy. Was this Turkey's first cross-border operation? Despite being a member of Nato and the US-led coalition against IS, Turkey opposed the support the US gave the SDF. In 2016, the Turkish military supported an offensive by allied Syrian rebel factions that drove IS militants out of the border area around Jarablus and stopped SDF fighters moving west, towards the Kurdish enclave of Afrin. In January 2018, after US officials said they were helping the SDF build a new \"border security force\" to prevent IS infiltration, Turkish-led forces launched an operation to expel YPG fighters from Afrin. What prompted the talk of a 'safe zone'? Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has long sought what he has called a \"safe zone\" clear of YPG fighters in north-east Syria. But the issue came to the fore after the SDF captured the last pocket of IS territory in Syria in March 2019. In August, the US and Turkey agreed to a \"security mechanism\" covering a predominantly Arab border area between Ras al-Ain and Tal Abyad. US and Turkish troops carried out joint patrols and YPG began dismantling fortifications. But on 6 October, Mr Erdogan told US President Donald Trump that Turkey was about to start a unilateral operation to set up a \"safe zone\". Mr Trump ordered US troops to pull back from the area. What was the aim of Turkey's offensive? At the start of \"Operation Peace Spring\" on 9 October, Mr Erdogan said Turkish troops and allied Syrian rebels aimed to \"neutralize terror threats against Turkey and lead to the establishment of a safe zone, facilitating the return of Syrian refugees to their homes\". SDF commanders warned that a Turkish offensive would \"spill the blood of thousands of innocent civilians\" and might pave the way for the return of IS. What was the human cost? The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a UK-based monitoring group, said 120 civilians were killed, along with 275 SDF fighters, 196 Turkish-backed Syrian rebels, 10 Turkish soldiers, and five Syrian soldiers. President Erdogan said 775 \"terrorists\" had been \"neutralised\" and that 79 Syrian rebels and seven Turkish soldiers had been killed. He denied any civilians had been killed in Syria but said 20 had died in YPG attacks on Turkey. The UN said at least 176,000 people had been displaced by the fighting and that critical civilian infrastructure had been damaged. How did the offensive end? After four days of fighting, the US began a full withdrawal from northern Syria and the Kurds agreed a deal with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's government for the Syrian army to deploy along the northern border for the first time in years to confront the Turkish-led forces. Russia, Mr Assad's staunch ally, sent military police to key locations. On 17 October, the US persuaded Mr Erdogan to \"pause\" Turkey's offensive to allow it to \"facilitate the withdrawal of YPG forces from the Turkish-controlled safe zone\". The ceasefire largely held and on 22 October the head of the SDF said the withdrawal had been completed. That same day, Mr Erdogan and Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a plan to end the offensive. They agreed: There are questions about the deal, such as how long the Turkish forces can stay and what will happen to the tens of thousands of people being detained by the SDF on suspicion of links to IS. But there is no doubt it has cemented Russia's role as the pivotal player in Syria.",

Hucknall and his band are accompanied by a 40-piece orchestra as they run through hits from across their eleven albums and some jazz standards made famous by Frank Sinatra and Nat King Cole. \"The initial offer came out of the blue and I replied 'yes' immediately because the last time I performed with an orchestra that size was in Greenwich on Millennium night for the BBC,\" says Hucknall. \"They asked me to perform what I thought was my song of the century and I chose Frank Sinatra's My Way and I performed it with the London Symphony Orchestra. \"I just chose the first song that came into my head.\" He admits it's an intimidating challenge for a singer to try to match the sheer volume of a live orchestra, given he generally doesn't like to rehearse. \"It was very, very different when you perform with an orchestra - when you watch a conductor working, they are moving to a swing they are not responding directly to the beat. \"I don't usually rehearse, which scares my bandmates sometimes but in this case, I thought I'll turn up and sing a bit and keep everybody happy and I was really glad that I did because it was entirely different. \"For the first couple of hours I found it very difficult.\" It was back in 2009, two years after Simply Red's number four album Stay, that Hucknall announced he was bringing Simply Red to an end, 25 years after they formed in Manchester. \"I've kind of decided that the 25 years is going to be enough, so I intend that the 2009 will be the last Simply Red tour,\" he is reported to have said at the time. Six years later, the band reunited for a 30th anniversary tour, out of which bloomed a new top five album Big Love and another anniversary tour the following year, this time for 25 years of their chart topping Stars - the 11th best selling album of all-time in the UK. Hucknall insists people may have misinterpreted his seemingly self-imposed early retirement. \"If you go back to what I actually said at the time, I didn't use those kind of phrases, I didn't use the words 'splitting up' or 'breaking up'. I really was doing it because I had a luxury that most men don't have of being able to stop work and bring up my kid.\" Raised by a single father after the family was abandoned by his mother when he was just three years old, Hucknall relished being in a position to be a hands-on dad. \"I didn't want to be one of those touring musicians who get to hear about their daughter taking her first steps while they're in New Zealand. I cut the cord when my baby was born, I'm around all the time and it's given me the happiest 10 years of my life.\" \"Bringing up my kid was the main reason why I stopped. If you don't then you've got these endless commitments. You get pressure from the record company to release an album every two years, you have to go on tour and I knew that wouldn't stop, so I said to my manager, 'I don't want to do this any more'. According to the latest figures from the office of National Statistics, more than 232,000 men opted out of the workplace in 2018 - that is the lowest number since 2014. And in March this year, an Equalities Select Committee report found only 2% to 8% of fathers take up shared parental leave. \"I'm glad I did what I did,\" insists Hucknall. \"The media wants to sell things and make a story and use a phrase like 'splitting up' but stopping is not the same as splitting up.\" To stamp home the point, Hucknall reveals his band have just recorded what will be their 12th studio album, which he says will be a departure from the \"smoother sounds\" of previous releases. \"I wanted to push my voice a little harder,\" he explains. \"It's a mixture of soul and funk and rhythm and blues and it's a more direct style.\" Once a mainstay of the heady 90s' London party circuit, Hucknall credits his new-found domestic bliss with a new burst of creativity. \"I'm a songwriter, my love of music has never left me and I literally don't seem to be able to stop writing songs, they keep coming. I get great creative pleasure from my work.\" A songwriter he may be but writing his own memoirs apparently holds no interest for the singer whose colourful love life was once the talk of the tabloids. \"I've never been much of a celebrity,\" he claims. \"I'll leave that to other people. My biggest thrills were encounters with great people, being complimented by George Harrison and Miles Davis. \"I met Miles in 1986 at the Grammy awards and he was heading to the bathroom and I was talking to this lovely girl and he walked by and I was so excited to see him and he turned back and said \"Simply Red, right?' \"I was speechless and just nodded, he said: 'I love that album Picture Book, man', and walked away. I don't care about celebrity but give me a moment like that.\" Simply Red: Symphonica in Rosso is out now. Follow us on Facebook, on Twitter @BBCNewsEnts, or on Instagram at bbcnewsents.

            "input": "By Reality Check team and BBC MonitoringBBC News We've been looking at some of the stories that have gone viral in the country, and whether there's any truth in them. 1. The military are on the streets A video which was posted on Twitter, showing military vehicles on the streets, was watched more than 250,000 times. It originally said the vehicles were in the southern city of Foggia, but it later corrected this to Palermo in Sicily. This tweet and others, linked the presence of the military vehicles to prison disturbances in Palermo this week after restrictions were announced on prison visits as part of measures to tackle coronavirus. It's true that the military were on the streets in Palermo, but their presence wasn't connected to the prison disturbances. The Italian military have confirmed that the vehicles belonged to the 6th Lancieri d'Aosta regiment, stationed in Palermo. They were returning from a military exercise in Sardinia and were not deployed to deal with unrest among prisoners, nor for any other reason related to the coronavirus. 2. A false claim about a vaccine you can buy This false claim surfaced in an Italian leaflet which was reportedly distributed to shops and homes in one particular area of the Venice region. It said the vaccine was created in Australia to combat Covid-19, and the only country in the world to have bought it is Switzerland. It claimed that taking six doses of the vaccine would give protection from the virus for a year, and was available for 50 euros via an email address given in the leaflet. There is, however, no vaccine available anywhere in the world, and realistically one won't be ready until at least the middle of next year, says James Gallagher, BBC Health and Science correspondent. One Italian fact-checking site which picked up on the story said \"a vaccine does not exist, but what does exist are people who enjoy spreading lies.\" 3. The lemon juice myth Misleading information about other ways to prevent the virus has also been circulating on social media. This includes a researcher said to be from Zanjan University in China, saying you should take as much vitamin C as possible to protect yourself from the virus. This was published in a news portal known as Viralmagazine.it, whose metrics say their article has been viewed over 576,000 times and gathered over 30,000 shares. The post also quotes a \"Professor Chen Horin CEO of the Beijing Military Hospital\" as saying that a hot drink with lemon can curb the spread of the virus. But there are several things that are not right: And to be clear - there's no evidence at all that lemon juice or large doses of vitamin C will stop the virus. One of the features of these private messages is that they can sometimes mix sound advice with misleading information. We've seen WhatsApp messages advising people to wash their hands frequently (good advice) but also to gargle with disinfectant to stop the virus entering the lungs (there's no evidence this works).

            "input": "By Hannah RichardsonBBC News education reporter This has prompted concerns \"at risk\" children are facing increased danger in the lockdown, while schools and teachers struggle to get hold of them. New data shows only a maximum of 5% of the most needy children have been at school during the Coronavirus crisis. The Children's Commissioner says social workers should be \"knocking on doors\". The Department for Education data shows just 29,000 so-called vulnerable children attended school in the week before the Easter holidays. This includes a group of children with greater levels of special educational needs - but many of this larger group may be staying at home with their families for a range of legitimate reasons. However, more than 723,000 children were known to children's social care services in 2019. The figures were described as \"utterly shocking\" by the Liberal Democrats. But children's minister Vicky Ford said children who were not in school were being monitored by social workers and supported in other ways. 'Substance abuse' Anne Longfield England's Children's Commissioner told the BBC: \"What we now know is, what we've been hearing over the last few weeks, that the vast majority of vulnerable children in this country are not attending, despite the fact that schools are open. \"What that means is that they are at home, potentially with a cocktail of risks. \"They may be in homes with quite fragile environments, potentially domestic violence in the home - which we know is increasing, parents with drug and alcohol addictions or indeed severe mental health conditions. \"So often these children are quite invisible at home and not in the place which is best at keeping them safe - school.\" Ms Longfield said referrals to social services had dropped by half, and she expressed concerns that bored, vulnerable teenagers could be leaving their homes and getting into situations where they would be exploited and groomed by criminals. She called for a clearer message from government, adding that \"social workers need to be knocking on doors and everyone needs to be working tirelessly to get these vulnerable children into schools\". Manorfield Primary School in Poplar, east London, has a high percentage of vulnerable children - 72 of the 736 children on its rolls are deemed to be 'at risk'. But only a tiny small fraction of these are coming to the school, which has joined up with 10 local primaries to provide a hub for vulnerable children and those of key workers. Staff have been phoning their most vulnerable families every other day to check how they are. Head teacher Paul Jackson said: \"I've had a senior teacher calling the families of children at risk. \"If they can't raise anyone, we trawl through the emails. If that doesn't work, we are carrying out home visits. \"We are trying every means to contact them, and working through the process to refer those we can't get hold of on to social services to see if they're safe.\" Mr Jackson adds: \"When we are in normal operational times, we have concerns about children who go missing, children who may face sexual exploitation, children who are getting into criminality, as well as children who may not get enough to eat. \"These concerns are still here at this time, if anything they are exaggerated by the situation.\" These are children of families where there is known to be domestic violence, substance abuse, parental sickness or disability, as well as poverty - which is closely associated with neglect. And if the children are not attending, it is very difficult for the school to know where they are and how they are. Because of the high level of need, the school employs its own social worker, Nessa Young. 'Sleepless nights' She says: \"It's hard because we are trying to support them but we are restricted by what we can do from afar. \"It's about making an extra phone call to see if there's anything we can do. But we can't see who may be standing next to the phone. \"We are doing everything we can but there have been a few sleepless nights,\" she says. \"There is always that nagging feeling: 'Is there something else I can do?' And: 'How can I do it with all these restrictions in place?'\" On top of its concerns for children's safety, the school has mounted a massive effort to ensure its community has enough to eat, after numerous families got in touch to say they had run out of money. Its operation to deliver food parcels to 300 struggling families in east London resembles that of a humanitarian aid charity in a warzone. Teachers and school staff are bagging up fresh fruit, vegetables and other essentials, to deliver to needy families. The school has been topping up the money it gets for free school meals to buy produce for families who find themselves incapacitated by the epidemic. It has set up a fundraising campaign to keep this huge effort going, as the school feels what is being offered by the government is not enough for its needy families. Education Secretary Gavin Williamson said his first priority was protecting the well-being of children and young people but particularly those vulnerable young people with social worker or special educational needs. \"Schools are open for them and we're working to make sure those who should attend do so.\"",

            "input": "Archbishop Tartaglia, who was 70, tested positive for Covid-19 shortly after Christmas but the cause of his death has not been confirmed. Virus restrictions meant only 20 relatives and friends could attend the requiem mass at St Andrew's Cathedral. Earlier, Pope Francis described him as a \"much-loved pastor\". A message received from Cardinal Parolin, his secretary of state, said: \"His Holiness Pope Francis was deeply saddened to learn of the untimely death of Archbishop Philip Tartaglia, and he offers heartfelt condolence and the assurance of his spiritual closeness to the clergy, religious and lay faithful of the Archdiocese of Glasgow.\" 'Great human warmth' The funeral mass was led by Bishop Hugh Gilbert of Aberdeen, who told the small congregation how the bishop who broke the news to him last week was in tears. In his homily he affectionately referred to Archbishop Tartaglia as \"Big Phil\" but said he was \"not a self-advertising man\". Bishop Gilbert added: \"Looking at it from our side, we are commending to God today someone who wasn't small in any sense, someone of gravitas, and someone in whom head and heart came together, possessed of intellectual force and clarity and at the same time of great human warmth.\" He said the archbishop cherished pastoral assignments and had a gift for friendship and insight into people. Bishop Gilbert added: \"As a pastor, especially here in Glasgow and for a while in Edinburgh too, he had plenty of valleys of darkness to walk through, with others, with unsettled priests, survivors of abuse, victims of accidents, and he did so in such a genuine, heartfelt way.\" The bishop recalled Archbishop Tartaglia's comforting role in the aftermath of the Glasgow bin lorry tragedy and the Clutha helicopter crash, and also highlighted his concerns for asylum seekers. The former Bishop of Paisley was ordained a priest in 1975 and had served as leader of Scotland's largest Catholic community since 2012. First Minister Nicola Sturgeon and Celtic Football Club were among those who paid tribute to him when his death was announced last week. Archbishop Tartaglia was born in Glasgow on 11 January 1951 - the eldest son of Guido and Annita Tartaglia. After attending St Thomas' Primary in Riddrie, he began his secondary education at St Mungo's Academy before moving to the national junior seminary at St Vincent's College, Langbank. He later attended St Mary's College, at Blairs, Aberdeen, before completing his ecclesiastical studies at the Pontifical Scots College, and the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome. On returning to Scotland, he was an assistant and then parish priest at Our Lady of Lourdes, Cardonald, St Patrick's, Dumbarton, and St Mary's, Duntocher. Archbishop Tartaglia was ordained by then Archbishop Thomas Winning in the Church of Our Lady of Good Counsel, Dennistoun, on 30 June 1975. He was a leading opponent of proposals to legalise same-sex marriage in Scotland and also criticised ministers over anti-bigotry legislation. The Archdiocese of Glasgow is the largest of Scotland's eight dioceses with an estimated Catholic population of about 200,000. It comprises 95 parishes and is served by about 200 priests. Archbishop Tartaglia was the eighth person to hold the office since the restoration of the Catholic hierarchy in Scotland in 1878. He followed Archbishop Mario Conti and Archbishop Thomas Winning, who later became Cardinal Winning.",

Unite says almost 2,500 staff will miss work if the walk-outs go ahead. Heathrow has not said which flights will be cancelled, and said passengers should check with their airlines to see if they are affected. Affected passengers might be offered other flights or refunds by their airline, it added. The cancellations affect 91 airlines including British Airways. The airport said on Twitter it had advised each airline on the number of flights it needed to cancel - but added it was the airlines' decision to choose which ones to cut. British Airways said on Twitter it had no information which flights it plans to cancel. Talks between union leaders and Heathrow management at the conciliation service Acas, aimed at averting the strike action, were held on Friday and Saturday and are expected to continue on Sunday morning. After the talks were adjourned, a Heathrow spokesperson said: \"Unite have rejected our revised pay offer today. \"While we are disappointed, we will continue to seek an agreement at ACAS tomorrow [Sunday].\" 'Growing anger' The airport, which advised passengers to check its website for updates, said its contingency plans would keep Heathrow open and safe on both strike days, albeit with some disruption. Passengers still scheduled to fly on Monday and Tuesday have been warned to arrive at least three hours before long-haul departures and two hours ahead of short-haul departures, because it may take longer to get through security. A Heathrow spokeswoman said earlier: \"I can confirm that we are working with our airline partners to consolidate and reduce the number of flights operating during the strike period. \"We have proactively cancelled 177 flights departing Heathrow across Monday and Tuesday. \"Passengers on these flights will have either been rebooked onto alternative services or provided a refund.\" Unite regional co-ordinating officer Wayne King said: \"This latest vote for strike action points to growing anger among the airport's workers in a whole range of vital jobs which are essential to the smooth and safe running of Heathrow. \"Airport bosses need to heed this latest strike vote and the overwhelming rejection by our members of the revised pay offer which offers little over and above the original offer of £3.75 extra a day for many workers.\" Meanwhile, talks aimed at averting a separate strike by British Airways pilots are to continue next week. Leaders of the British Airline Pilots Association (Balpa) met the company last week to try to resolve the dispute over pay. The union would have to give two weeks' notice of any industrial action. Can I claim compensation if my flight has been cancelled? If your flight out of Heathrow has been cancelled, you should contact your airline to see what you are entitled to in terms of a refund or compensation. However, if your flight has been cancelled due to airport (rather than airline) staff striking, it is unlikely you will be able to claim compensation as this would be considered \"extraordinary circumstances\" outside of the airline's control, the Civil Aviation Authority said. The CAA added that the airport is not obliged to pay compensation directly to passengers, and whether the airport gives its customers (the airlines) compensation is a commercial issue between the two parties. If your flight has been cancelled because airline staff are striking, the CAA said, then this would be considered within the airline's control, and therefore you have a legal right to either: If the cancellation delays you by two hours or more, you are also legally entitled to compensation and help with any costs you may incur as a result of the delay.

He said high levels of deprivation and a lack of quality services and support for parents were holding children back. But ministers said investing in the early years was a priority. Since the mid-1990s, the proportion of national wealth being spent on the under-fives has more than doubled, although spending has dropped slightly in recent years. But Sir Michael, who is director of the University College London's Institute of Health Equity and led a ground-breaking review of health inequalities for the government in 2010, said the development of children in England was still lagging behind that of many other Western countries. Figures published last year by the Department of Education indicated 52% of children had \"good development\" at the end of reception year. For those getting free school meals, the figure was 36%. The data is based on a whole range of factors, including emotional, social, physical and academic measures. Children were expected to meet goals such as being able to count to 20, go to the toilet on their own, read and write simple sentences and speak using past, present and future tenses. 'Failure' Sir Michael also reviewed other sources of information covering employment, wellbeing, life expectancy and income. He said while there had been a slight narrowing in life expectancy between the most and least deprived areas, serious problems still existed. In particular, he highlighted data indicating nearly a quarter of households were living below the minimum income standards - a rise of a fifth in three years. Sir Michael said the current situation was \"unacceptable\" and represented a \"failure\", as development at aged five was critical in determining an individual's life chances. \"When we first looked at these figures, we assumed there must be something wrong with the measurement. \"How can it be the case in England, one of the richest countries in the world with our long history of being a brainy country, that only 52% of children can have a good level of development?\" He said England had to do more to provide parenting support, such as Sure Start centres, and better access to subsidised child care to allow parents to work and lift themselves out of poverty. \"In looking at children's development, you have got to look at children, parenting, the circumstances in which parenting takes place - the conditions of parents' lives - and the general social context. Good services make a difference,\" he added. A Department for Education spokesman said extra money was being put into early years. \"No child should start school behind their peers. This is why our plan for education is providing flexible, affordable and good quality childcare. \"We are raising the status and quality of the early years workforce by introducing rigorous new qualifications so practitioners are highly skilled and can help all children reach the expected level of development.\"",

The Boston Globe had pledged to write an editorial \"on the dangers of the administration's assault on the press\" on 16 August, and asked others to do the same. Mr Trump frequently attacks \"the fake news media\" as the \"opposition party\", and repeated his \"enemy of the people\" line on Thursday: UN experts have warned that Mr Trump's comments about the media raise the risk of violence against journalists. On 16 August, when nearly 350 newspaper answered the Globe's call and published editorials denouncing Mr Trump's attacks on the free press, Mr Chain allegedly called the paper again, this time to say he would shoot employees in the head, \"later today, at four o'clock,\" according to court documents. The threat resulted in a police presence outside the newsroom, in order to ensure employees' safety. Mr Chain allegedly continued to harass the paper's staff, and on 22 August explained his reason for calling. \"Because you are the enemy of the people, and I want you to go [expletive] yourself,\" he is alleged to have said. \"As long as you keep attacking the president, the duly elected president of the United States, in the continuation of your treasonous and seditious acts, I will continue to threats, harass and annoy the Boston Globe.\" He also incorrectly stated that the Boston Globe was owned by the the New York Times, which sold the paper in 2013. The Boston Globe said in a statement it was grateful to law enforcement for taking the threat seriously. \"We couldn't have asked for a stronger response,\" said a representative for the paper. \"While it was unsettling for many of our staffers to be threatened in such a way, nobody - really, nobody - let it get in the way of the important work of this institution.\" Harold Shaw, the FBI's special agent in charge of the Boston Division, said the arrest \"should serve a warning to others, that making threats is not a prank, it's a federal crime\". \"All threats are taken seriously, as we never know if the subject behind the threat intends to follow through with their actions. \"Whether potentially hoax or not, each and every threat will be aggressively run to ground.\"",

Justice Secretary Michael Matheson said the Offensive Behaviour Act was an \"important tool\" in tackling offensive behaviour, including sectarianism. The hate crime figures, released by the Scottish government, showed that 581 charges with a religious aggravation were reported to the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service (COPFS) in 2015-16, a 3% increase on 2014-15. Racial crime The number of charges where Islam was noted almost doubled from 71 charges in 2014-15 to 134 charges in 2015-16. Overall, there was a slight increase in the number of hate crimes reported, with racial crime the most common. There were a total of 3,712 racial charges reported in 2015-16. However, this was a decrease on last year and the lowest number reported since 2003-04. Other findings in the reports include: Mr Matheson said: \"There is no place in Scotland for any crime motivated by prejudice, be it racial, religious, homophobic or any other form of intolerance. \"While I am concerned at an increase in the number of charges on last year, including the rise in alleged offences against Islam, it does indicate an improvement in the willingness of the public to report these crimes, and that should be welcomed.\" 'Safer place' He added: \"The recent appalling scenes at the Scottish Cup Final demonstrated that the unacceptable behaviour of a minority of football fans continues to be a problem. \"An increase in the number of charges under the Offensive Behaviour Act shows that the legislation continues to be an important tool in tackling all forms of offensive behaviour, including sectarianism, and sends a clear message that such behaviour has no place in a modern, open and inclusive society. \"I have asked Scottish football to take further steps to address this long-standing issue and I expect to see progress on this imminently.\" Football hate crime statistics The justice secretary said recorded crime in Scotland was now at its lowest level in 41 years and the country was becoming \"a safer place\". \"But one incident of hate crime is one too many,\" he added. \"Intolerance in any form is simply unacceptable and there is no place for it in 21st Century Scotland.\" 'Police priority' Ch Supt Barry McEwan, of Police Scotland, said: \"Tackling hate crime is a priority for Police Scotland and we are committed to rooting out crimes motivated by prejudice. \"Last year we ran a highly successful anti-hate crime campaign which reached many people and our commitment to eradicating hate crime continues. \"Today's figures provide evidence of our efforts but they also show that we must continue to work within all our communities to encourage reporting and to get the message across that hate crime will not be tolerated. \"Police Scotland remains committed to ensuring that there is no place for prejudice in Scotland and, together with our partners, we will keep the communities of Scotland safe.\" Speaking about the rise in football-related hate crimes, the Scottish Conservative's justice spokesman Douglas Ross said: \"The Scottish government can't have it both ways. When the number of charges went down it celebrated the legislation. \"Now, after a 50% hike, it still seems to think the law's working a treat. \"It's bad and unnecessary legislation and it needs to be scrapped now.\" Scottish Labour's justice spokeswoman Claire Baker said: \"It is deeply concerning to see a rise in hate crime in Scotland. \"As a tolerant and inclusive society, Scotland has no place for such prejudices and the country must unite behind tackling these shameful acts. \"With the doubling of Islamic hate crimes and the year-on-year increases in crimes relating to both sexual orientation and disability it is clear the Scottish government must take greater action to reverse the increase in these crimes.\"",

Sara Feeney and her cousin Ellen Glynn are well and being treated at University Hospital Galway. Sara's mother Helen Feeney told RTÉ they were \"overwhelmed and grateful\". She also said paddleboards would \"never darken the doors of our houses again\" . The cousins went missing after setting out from a beach at Furbo, County Galway, on Wednesday evening. No wetsuits Ms Feeney said she was walking the dog on the beach when the pair went out on the paddleboards. She said everybody was in good spirits on what was a \"fabulous evening\". However when the pair did not return, she alerted the coastguard. A major search operation began after the alarm was raised at 22:00 local time. An air and sea search rescue began overnight and continued until their discovery. The Irish coastguard and local volunteers were also involved. Despite bad weather overnight, the pair - who had life jackets, but no wetsuits - were found by the fisherman. 'Survived by not panicking' The fisherman who found them told Irish broadcaster RTÉ that he was prepared to go as far as was necessary to rescue them because otherwise they would have drifted further out to sea. Patrick Oliver and his son Morgan, 18, left the docks and headed west across the bay after he heard they were missing. Mr Oliver was able to predict where they could be, by calculating the wind speed and direction. \"They travelled there about 20 miles from the beach to the side of Inis Oírr [one of the Aran Islands],\" he said. He also said he was \"delighted for their parents\" and he had thought about their \"poor mother on the beach all night looking out for them\". He said the women had survived by not panicking, keeping their heads clear and by hanging on to a buoy. 'Little bit of chat' \"They were definitely in shock but the weather is warm so they were lucky,\" he said. He said the pair were \"waving their paddles up in the air\" when they spotted the fishermen. They gave the women oilskin jackets and hats to help them warm up after they were rescued. He said they had been \"weak and tired\" but were able to sit up and make a \"little bit of chat\". \"They were in shock but they were thankful,\" he added. \"We got them in the boat and we brought them into the island and the chopper landed there.\" 'Forever indebted' Ms Feeney said the situation was \"the stuff of nightmares\". She said the family was \"forever indebted\" to the Olivers for rescuing the women. She also thanked all those who took part in the search and rescue operation. The pair had been wearing buoyancy aids and she urged people who intend to go paddleboarding to wear them. On social media, the coastguard thanked everyone who assisted. Barry Heskin, from the RNLI, said tears were shed and his team was \"jumping around the station\" when news came back that the rescue had been successful.",

Construction is due to start later this year, with completion due in 2019. Jim Osborne, from developers Vanguard Real Estate, said the intention was to have \"a thriving business and creative quarter\" by 2020.

In 2006, the Belfast-based Carvill Group bought the site for £40m and proposed a mixed-use scheme, anchored by a supermarket.

He made the prediction as Sainsbury's reported rising food sales in the last three months, including over Christmas. The UK's second largest supermarket chain said grocery sales rose 2.3%, helped by higher food prices. Food prices have gone up, as the drop in the value of the pound after the Brexit vote made imports more expensive. \"We've done everything we can as a business to mitigate that but we can't get away from the fact that food prices are going up,\" Mr Coupe told the BBC. But with that effect wearing off, food price inflation should \"gradually reduce over the next six to nine months\", he said.

Argos's Fast Track delivery and collection grew strongly over the period, but that was not enough to stop a slide in Argos's sales. \"The general merchandise that Argos sells may be a millstone around the group's neck right now, but longer term the appeal of combining Christmas grocery and gift shopping in one location is clear to see,\" said Laith Khalaf, an analyst at Hargreaves Lansdown. The supermarket said it had \"record\" sales over Christmas, as discounted turkeys and other trimmings brought in more shoppers.

Nothing is more important to Pret right now.\" The chain will start trialling full ingredient labelling on product packaging from next month and roll it out to all UK outlets as quickly as possible. Natasha's parents gave a \"cautious\" welcome to Pret's move: \"Pret says it has recognised there is much more it can do, we agree.

It added: \"In the meantime, we have taken immediate action to increase the prominence and signposting of our allergen information on the digital screens in our shops and on our website.\" 'Too high' An inquest into Natasha's death began last week and heard the artichoke, olive and tapenade baguette the teenager ate contained sesame - to which she was allergic. The coroner found Natasha had been \"reassured\" by the lack of specific allergen information on the packaging. Beatrice, whose real identity the BBC has agreed not to disclose, is also allergic to sesame seeds. She was in hospital for 12 hours after suffering an allergic reaction caused by a Pret sandwich. She was told Pret had promised to start a full labelling trial at the start of this year. \"It's good that Pret has finally taken this action but the cost to the family is too high,\" she told the BBC. \"It should never have happened. Why has it taken so long for them to introduce full labelling?\" 'Russian roulette' Foods packaged on-site before sale do not require a specific allergen label attached under existing regulations. Takeaways and restaurants are only required to let customers know if any of the 14 most common dangerous allergens - including peanuts, eggs and milk - are ingredients in their food. However, freshly made, non pre-packaged food does not have to be individually labelled, according to the UK's Food Regulations 2014.

            "input": "By Tom Heyden & Lucy TownsendBBC News Magazine Sometimes the debate on gay marriage has been polarised, casting those who supported the measure as the right-thinking and those who opposed it as irrational and guilty of tacit homophobia. The law to allow gay marriage passed quickly and there are those who still feel they have not had a proper chance to air their concerns. 1. The religious sceptic There are religious people who oppose gay marriage primarily out of a fear that one day equality laws will force a church, mosque or temple to host a ceremony. Religious institutions have been protected from this scenario under the so-called \"quadruple lock\". The law will ensure no discrimination claim can be brought against religious organisations or individual ministers for refusing to marry a couple. But there are some who just don't believe in the quadruple lock. \"It's flimsy,\" says Fiona O'Reilly, of Catholic Voices. \"At the end of the day we are subject to the European courts and they may see things differently. \"Where the vast majority of same-sex couples don't want to force religious institutions to marry them, what is clear is that there's a small minority who basically say that true equality should force places of worship, and that's what they then start to seek. These safeguards can get eroded and 10 years down the line they may not mean as much.\" There's also religious opposition about the redefinition of the traditional understanding of marriage. \"Marriage is a unique kind of relationship that involves a man and a woman and their ability to create new life in the form of children,\" says O'Reilly. \"The church isn't looking to impose its understanding of marriage on others, but it is looking for its understanding of marriage to be protected.\" 2. The historical meaning case But there are not just religious objections to changing the definition of marriage. \"Same-sex relationships differ from heterosexual ones in ways that can't be changed by legislation,\" says philosopher Brenda Almond, who argues that the primary historical and traditional function of marriage is procreative. \"The main reason for the state to be involved with marriage is children,\" says Prof David Paton, an industrial economics lecturer at the University of Nottingham and a supporter of the Coalition for Marriage, a group arguing that traditional marriage is beneficial to society and would be undermined by a definitional change. \"It seems reasonable for the state to treat the one type of relationship from which children can directly result in a different way to others, and this is the basis for marriage laws,\" says Paton. Not all marriages will result in children, he concedes, and also suggests that issues such as pension rules or inheritance may require the state to recognise alternative relationships in different ways. But the same-sex marriage law is not about this, he says. \"It's about changing the very definition of marriage to encompass other types of relationships that are inherently different. That is both unnecessary and carries the risk of weakening the legal structure designed to encourage the attachment of children to their natural mother and father.\" 3. Not all gay people are in favour Not every gay person is in favour of gay marriage. Some are against it. \"I am a Conservative and a homosexual, and I oppose gay marriage,\" wrote the Daily Mail's Andrew Pierce in 2012. \"Am I a bigot?\" Historian David Starkey, has also said he is unconvinced. \"I am torn. As an atheist gay who regards marriage as part of the baggage of heterosexual society which I have come to respect but can never fully share, I am tempted to say a plague on both your houses,\" he wrote in the Daily Telegraph in 2012. Actor Rupert Everett perhaps gave the most colourful argument against, in a 2012 interview in the Guardian. \"I loathe heterosexual weddings. The wedding cake, the party, the champagne, the inevitable divorce two years later. It's just a waste of time in the heterosexual world, and in the homosexual world I find it personally beyond tragic that we want to ape this institution that is so clearly a disaster.\" 4. Civil partnerships are there so is change just about terminology? There are some who argue that the difference between marriage and civil partnerships is primarily a semantic one. \"We've got marriage, it's called a civil partnership and I rejoice in the fact that people like me who are different from straight people can do something they can't. I relish that,\" Pierce said last year. Others say any remaining differences between civil partnerships and marriage could have been amended through existing legislation. \"Society gave legal and institutional expression to what many hold to be true - that gay and lesbian people should have the same rights to formalise their commitment to each other and enjoy the social and legal benefits that opposite-sex couples have,\" said the Lord Bishop of Exeter to the House of Lords in 2013. \"If there are matters in that legal provision that are inadequate or missing, rights that have not been conferred or legitimate aspirations not recognised, then that act should be amended, and that would have my general support.\" \"In legal terms it's virtually no different from civil partnership,\" says Labour MP Ben Bradshaw, who formed his own civil partnership in 2006. But he counters that he's in favour of the gay marriage law because it is a necessary symbolic and cultural step towards full equality. 5. A question of a rushed law For some the main issue is the passage of the law itself. When the bill was discussed in the House of Lords, ex-chief constable Lord Dear tabled a \"wrecking\" amendment attempting to block its progress. \"I have no problem at all with homosexual marriage or partnerships,\" says Dear. In his view civil partnerships are too much like getting a driving licence and deserve a sense of dignity and occasion. \"My problem was, and still is, that the government didn't give it enough thought and didn't go through the processes they should have done for something as sensitive and important as this,\" he says. It was rushed through parliament with \"indecent haste\", he says, without a royal commission, an in-depth inquiry, or any mention in the manifesto. \"What I was saying was to take it away, do it again and bring it back.\" A bit like a pedantic headmaster, says Dear. \"Then it's all on the table so you can see exactly how you pick your way through the minefield. \"As it is I think we're going to have to put sticking plaster all over it for years to come.\" Correction: A quote by Fiona O'Reilly has been removed that implied that the Catholic Church for England and Wales accepted the passing of the law on civil partnerships, which, in fact, the church opposed.

Serious incidents went under-reported and services were \"dysfunctional\". Mr Gething said he had to ensure improvements were delivered that local people \"rightly expect and deserve\". But Plaid Cymru health spokeswoman Helen Mary Jones said there was a consistent pattern of failure and it was time for him to go, as he \"failed to get to grips\" with the challenges. \"Because he's responsible for all the senior managers who have been appointed, who've allowed these failures to go on,\" she said. \"This isn't a one-off, this is a series of systematic failures.\" Mr Gething had ordered the review, led by the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecology and the Royal College of Midwives, after details of 25 serious incidents, including eight stillbirths and five neonatal deaths emerged. In a Senedd debate on the report, former Plaid Cymru leader Leanne Wood said: \"I wonder how much of a problem this would have been in a more affluent area - poorer people's views are often easily dismissed across a whole range of public services. \"So often do I hear about people being treated differently to how those from middle class backgrounds would have been treated.\" Mr Gething said he didn't believe that \"socio-economic\" issues were a factor, adding: \"You don't hear the same story from similar areas\", but said the independent panel would decide on what to look at. The Welsh Conservatives said the findings were \"grim reading\" but that Cwm Taf maternity services being put in special measures was \"nothing new\". The party's leader Paul Davies challenged First Minister Mark Drakford over the state of the NHS in Wales, adding: \"It's a sad fact, isn't it, that with five out of seven health boards across the country under special measures or targeted interventions, there is barely anything 'special' or unusual about it any more. \"This seems the new norm and the sad reality for the people of Wales under your government.\" Rhondda MP Chris Bryant has written to the health board asking how it intended to address recruitment issues. Rhondda Cynon Taf council leader Andrew Morgan said he was concerned that there had been \"several serious reports of extreme pressures\" on staff since consultant-led maternity care was concentrated at Prince Charles Hospital in March. Mr Gething said: \"This isn't a simple one person, one group is responsible. That's why I've announced measures to look at the whole way that maternity services work and also to look at the leadership and governance of the organisation. Asked if he had taken his \"eye off the ball\", he replied: \"When we had the serious incidents uncovered we acted precisely and I commissioned the independent review by the royal colleges which was published today. \"So we acted when we were aware of the challenges and now what we must do is to make sure there is real improvement and proper assurances for the public.\" Meanwhile, Helen Whyley, director of the Royal College of Nursing said it was \"extremely concerned about the inadequate staffing levels and the presence of a punitive culture where clearly staff raising issues have not been listen to\". \"RCN Wales is calling for urgent action and real investment to successfully implement of all the report's recommendations,\" she added. Dr David Bailey, chair of the BMA's Welsh Council, said the findings highlighted \"deep systematic problems across maternity services in Cwm Taf, largely due to communication issues\". He added: \"It is clear that the majority of staff within the health board are extremely dedicated and hard-working and have faced extreme pressure. It is disappointing that staff felt that they were not being listened to when they raised concerns.\" Paul Summers, health spokesman for Unison Cymru, said staff had been too afraid to speak out and it wanted to work with Mr Gething and the health board \"in addressing the blame culture\". Allison Williams, chief executive of Cwm Taf Morgannwg health board, told BBC Wales it \"fully accepted the very hard messages\" in the report. She defended the pace of change in reorganising maternity services and said the issues had been very complex. \"The recommendations for safety were implemented straight away and the move of the service to consolidate on one site at Prince Charles Hospital has enabled us to address some of the immediate critical issues, which strengthened the medical support which was criticised in the report,\" she added.",

The investigation is being headed by the Department of Health. The Police Service of Northern Ireland and officials from the Department of Agriculture Environment and Rural Affairs (Daera) are also involved. A spokesperson for the Department of Health said the investigation was being led by the Department of Health's Medicines Regulatory Group. \"Daera, under its statutory role in the surveillance and sampling for veterinary medicine residues in food producing animals, is providing assistance to the investigation,\" the spokesperson said. Growth promoter The Food Standards Agency said it was aware of the investigation and was working to ensure there was no risk to the food chain. Antibiotics can be used for animal welfare reasons, but are strictly regulated and should be prescribed by a vet. But they can also be used as a growth promoter to reduce the amount of feed it takes to get a bird to slaughter weight. It is understood Moy Park has taken steps to ensure that poultry from the farm at the centre of the investigation was not sent for human consumption. The authorities and the industry have been working hard to try and reduce the use of antibiotics in agriculture in an attempt to combat anti-microbrial resistance. It can lead to the development of disease-resistant superbugs which can transfer to humans and are difficult to treat. The seizure of the antibiotics was first reported by the Guardian newspaper which said it involved a consignment of Chinese-made Amoxicillin. 'Isolated incident' Moy Park confirmed that the investigation centred on a privately-owned farm which supplied it. \"This matter is being investigated by the relevant authorities and we believe it is an isolated incident.\" It said the industry was subject to \"robust antibiotic residue monitoring procedures\" carried out by government vets. It said the test results across its supply farms had been negative. \"Any breach of the strict regulation on the use of veterinary medicine is unlawful and completely unacceptable to us.\" There are rules around the time period that must elapse between the treatment of birds with antibiotics and their movement to slaughter to ensure there are no residues in the meat. In May, the Department of Agriculture and the Department of Health jointly launched a five-year plan to tackle the issue of anti-microbial resistance.",

            "input": "By Judith BurnsEducation reporter BBC News The Lords Science and Technology Committee calls for immediate action to boost student numbers in science, technology, engineering and maths at undergraduate and postgraduate level. Too many students start science courses with weak maths skills, it says. Report chairman Lord Willis said he was \"gobsmacked\" by figures which showed few who had studied maths beyond GCSE. The report notes that the government's Plan for Growth attached great importance to education and the hi-tech industry to create jobs and prosperity. Skill shortage But it highlights a lack of key skills which extends from too few young people studying maths beyond GCSE to too few students taking postgraduate degrees in science, technology, engineering and maths (Stem) subjects. The sub-committee that produced the report said they were shocked that so many Stem undergraduates did not have A-level mathematics. The figures showed that around 70% of biology undergraduates, 38% of chemistry and economics undergraduates and 10% of engineering students did not have A-level maths. The report team even found evidence that even an A* in A-level mathematics was no guarantee that students would be able to cope with a university science course. Lord Willis said: \"When you have a university like Cambridge saying that even with an A* in mathematics we are having to give remedial maths in order to study engineering there is something not quite right if we are going to produce the very best to compete with the world. \"In reality the quality of the Stem graduates coming out of universities does not meet the requirements of industry and in fact is ultimately not even likely to meet the requirements of academia.\" The report says that, without action, the government risks failing to meet its objective of driving economic growth through education and hi-tech industries. It recommends that maths should be compulsory for all students after 16 and calls for universities to toughen their maths requirements for entry to Stem courses and to get more involved in the school maths curriculum. Sir William Wakeham of the Royal Academy of Engineering, a specialist adviser to the committee, said the pharmaceutical industry in particular needed biology graduates with good statistical skills to analyse the effects of new drugs. The report also urges universities to improve the quality of their own teaching and to involve industry in the content of Stem courses to ensure graduates are employable. 'Soft' sciences The committee raises concerns that graduates of \"soft\" sciences such as forensic or sport science are less employable than those with degrees in traditional subjects like chemistry. Despite this, the report says the number of UK students taking \"soft\" sciences has soared. Graduates in sport science, for example, more than doubled to more than 8,000 between 2003 and 2010. During the same period, the number of engineering graduates fell by 3% to 12,080 and of computer science graduates by 27% to 11,400. The report says the government is not doing enough to attract bright students to postgraduate Stem courses. It suggests that recent reforms to university finances and student funding, together with controls on overseas students, could weaken the quality and number of postgraduate courses at UK universities. The government said: \"Every sector of the economy relies on universities to produce highly skilled graduates.‬ \"The numbers of Stem students are going up, and application rates remain strong. The Government are committed to building on this. We have protected science funding, and are now working with employers and universities to ensure people get the skills the country needs.\"",

Under the plan, 100 of the 188 staff will lose their jobs in a budget council leader Sir Albert Bore said was the toughest he had dealt with. The cuts are part of 1,100 going next year and part of 6,000 to go by 2018, which the council previously revealed. The GMB union has been angered by the planned job losses, which it said will lead to \"drastic reductions to essential services\". 'Deeply distressing' Financial support for major public events in the city, such as Pride, St Patrick's Day and Vaisakhi, are also being axed under the plans. Library opening hours, more than 100 back office workers and around-the-clock CCTV monitoring will also be affected. Cuts in social care mean 200 fewer people with a physical or sensory disability will receive a service in 2015/16 and 1,600 fewer people with a mental health need or learning, physical or sensory disability will receive a service from 2016/17. Impact of the proposed cuts Penny Holbrook, from the council, denied the cuts to the library, which will see opening hours cut from 73 to 40, were \"embarrassing\". \"I think it's really, really sad and deeply distressing but there is no service that will remain untouched given the scale of government cuts we are facing,\" she said. The authority has issued a white paper setting out its proposed budget savings for next year and identifying how it plans to save £338m in the next four years. As part of the savings this year, the city's 250 CCTV cameras will no longer be monitored around the clock. There will be an increase in open market traders car boot sales in a bid to raise money, the council said. A further £20m-a-year will be invested in children services from 2015-2016. Sir Albert Bore said the cut in government grant meant a 5.7% reduction on spending power for the city, which was three times the average of 2% among most councils. \"This is the consequence of cuts, we will be doing less,\" he said. \"We have been saying this for several years.\" Political analysis by Patrick Burns The £117 million spending reductions proposed for next year by Sir Albert Bore are full of ironies, paradoxes and contradictions: his ruling Labour group carries responsibility for them, but it is the coalition government to which he ascribes the political blame. The biggest single hit is to the prestige Library of Birmingham, which will lose 100 staff and have its opening hours cut back, on the very day that the Nobel Prize was collected by Malala Yousafzai, who identified it as a powerful symbol of learning for all when she opened it last year. Sir Albert said his authority was undergoing a process of \"profound change\" under the government cuts. But Conservative council leaders like Philip Atkins in Staffordshire, have long stressed the virtuous circle of local government working smarter, forming partnerships and generally delivering better for their council tax payers' money while improving the services they deliver to them. Birmingham Pride organiser Lawrence Barton, said he understood cuts had to be made. The event, which attracts thousands of people, costs £400,000 to organise with £20,000 from the council. \"It's a disappointing time because it's a huge event for the whole city,\" he said. He said while it was a marginal amount of money, it was upsetting because it showed the council was not behind it. Unison regional secretary Ravi Subramanian said the council \"was not to blame\" for the position in which it found itself. He said the previous administration had failed to deal with the Equal Pay bill and the other major factor was the reduction in government grant. He described the cuts as \"devastating\" and added: \"People will be spending Christmas wondering if they have a job to come back to.\"",

But he added it was difficult to make Teslas with their new and developing technology as cheaply as conventional cars, and the firm's cars were still \"too expensive for most people\". Tesla employs more than 45,000 people, indicating it will cut about 3,000. Shares in the car manufacturer opened more than 6% lower as trading began in the US on Friday. Mr Musk said 2018 was Tesla's \"most successful\" yet, in which it delivered almost as many cars as it had in all the previous years of its existence combined. However, while it ramped up production of its mid-market Model 3 car, Mr Musk said its products were too pricey for the average driver and its profits too low. \"This quarter will hopefully allow us, with great difficulty, effort and some luck, to target a tiny profit,\" he wrote. \"However, starting around May, we will need to deliver at least the mid-range Model 3 variant in all markets, as we need to reach more customers who can afford our vehicles. \"Moreover, we need to continue making progress towards lower priced variants of Model 3.\" He said Tesla had \"no choice\" but to reduce full-time employee headcount and retain \"only the most critical temps and contractors\". He added the firm would need to make these cuts while \"increasing the Model 3 production rate\" and making many \"manufacturing engineering improvements in the coming months\". It's been a tough few years for the electric carmaker and its high-profile founder. The firm has repeatedly failed to meet its own production targets, leading many investors to bet against it. Analysis: Theo Leggett, business correspondent Tesla is in a race against time. It's already well established as a niche producer of upmarket electric vehicles. But that isn't where the company sees its future. Electric cars at the moment are in many ways a lifestyle choice. But in future, ever tighter emissions regulations and restrictions on \"regular\" cars are expected to drive them into the mainstream. It's potentially a huge market - and Tesla is targeting a significant share. That's the rationale behind its brand new Model 3, billed as an \"affordable\" electric car. But the Model 3 isn't actually that affordable yet - the cheapest versions have yet to go on sale. And it needs to make a lot more of them, in order to benefit from economies of scale. Meanwhile established manufacturers will soon be flooding the market with brand new EVs of their own. Last year the priority for Tesla was simply to boost production as quickly as possible, to meet ambitious targets. It took on a lot of new employees to make that happen. Now, it needs to make even more cars, more cheaply - and it will have to do so with fewer staff. That certainly won't be easy, but according to Elon Musk, \"there isn't any other way\". Mr Musk was also caught up in a number of scandals, including being sued by the US Securities and Exchange Commission after tweeting that he planned to take Tesla private. Some analysts have speculated that Tesla will turn the ship around this year, but earlier this month it fell short on quarterly deliveries of the Model 3. It also had to cut prices in the US to offset lower green tax credits. In his email, Mr Musk noted the firm was cutting the jobs after expanding its headcount by almost a third in 2018. \"Tesla has only been producing cars for about a decade and we're up against massive, entrenched competitors,\" he said. \"The net effect is that Tesla must work much harder than other manufacturers to survive while building affordable, sustainable products.\"",

But it said tobacco and other contraband was still getting in and it was concerned about drones being used.

Although no analysis has been carried out, the review said the ban \"might be a factor\" in the rise in violence. The 2016-17 report by the prison's independent monitoring board said despite initial resistance to the April 2016 ban, some prisoners had \"seized the opportunity to stop smoking\" and said they felt fitter as a result. However, it said it was concerned drones were being used to deliver tobacco and other banned substances - sometimes direct to prisoners' cell windows.

In the work, published in Nature Medicine, a team from Massachusetts General Hospital, created successful grafts using rat cells. A UK expert said it was \"a big step in the right direction\". In the study, scientists initially flushed out living liver cells, leaving behind a tissue \"scaffold\". They then introduced one type of liver cells called hepatocytes which successfully repopulated the scaffold. When these were transplanted into rats, alongside their normal livers, they functioned normally for short periods. The technique of washing out and replacing cells is the same as that used when a windpipe made with the patient's own stem cells was successfully implanted in Spain in late 2008 in the world's first tissue-engineered whole organ transplant. Liver cells have been grown in the lab, but the difficulty has been making them work as part of an organ and connecting them to its vascular system. Complex The team from the Center for Engineering in Medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital, led by Korkut Uygun, say their study has proved the concept works. He added: \"As far as we know, a transplantable liver graft has never been constructed in a laboratory setting before. But he said: \"Much more work will be required to make long-term functional liver grafts that can actually be transplanted into humans. \"We haven't been able to go beyond several hours in the rats, but it's a great start.\" The team say their work could enable livers which are deemed unsuitable for transplant to be used as scaffolds. However, they say much more work is needed before such grafts could be grown. Mark Thursz, professor of hepatology at Imperial College London, said there were several issues to be overcome before it would be possible to create a liver graft that could work on its own. One is that other types of cells are needed in addition to the hepatocytes. In addition, the grafts created by the US team were only able to fulfil a small proportion of the functions of a normal liver. Professor Thursz said that, as well as the potential for creating new livers for people whose own organs had failed, it could be used to offer relief to patients with other liver problems. \"If you could create an artificial liver you could plumb someone into while their liver recovered, that would be helpful.\" \"This is a big step in the right direction.\"",

If they don't we'll go somewhere else.\" Channel 4 aired 400 hours of Paralympic coverage in the UK, while Australia's ABC screened more than 100 hours. In Japan viewers had a nightly one-hour highlights programme. Its capital Tokyo is bidding to host the 2020 Games. NBC did not show any live action and its 90-minute round-up programme will not be broadcast until 16 September. Yet the broadcaster said the total of five-and-a-half hours represented an improvement on the 2008 Paralympics in Beijing, when viewers got a single 90-minute highlights package. \"The people of the USA, for example, particularly the parents and families of the athletes, they are all ready for Paralympic sport,\" Sir Philip added. \"Take the plunge, take the risk and then you'll succeed.\" NBC said its coverage of the London 2012 Olympic Games was the \"most-watched television event in US history\", with 219 million people watching over the duration of the event. But it drew criticism for delaying the broadcast of popular events until prime time hours. Viewers also complained of problems with online streaming and edited versions of the opening and closing ceremonies.",

Mr Trump had accused his predecessor Barack Obama of wiretapping Trump Tower during the presidential race. But White House spokesman Sean Spicer said Mr Trump maintains his claims. \"He stands by it,\" Mr Spicer said at a daily news briefing on Thursday. The press secretary refused to accept the Senate Intelligence Committee report, saying \"they're not findings\". Mr Spicer quoted at length from an unproven Fox News report suggesting Mr Obama had dodged US restrictions by asking Britain's GCHQ electronic surveillance agency to monitor Mr Trump, an allegation already dismissed as \"utterly ridiculous\" by the Cheltenham-based complex. Mr Burr joins a cadre of Republican lawmakers who have rejected the allegation. \"Based on the information available to us, we see no indications that Trump Tower was the subject of surveillance by any element of the United States government either before or after Election Day 2016\" Mr Burr said in a joint statement with Senator Mark Warner, the committee's vice-chairman. Earlier on Thursday, House Speaker Paul Ryan also said \"no such wiretap existed\". Republican chairman of the House intelligence committee Devin Nunes said on Wednesday he doesn't believe \"there was an actual tap of Trump Tower\". But that has not deterred Mr Trump, who on Wednesday told Fox News a \"wiretap covers a lot of different things\". He also hinted that more details about the alleged surveillance could be revealed in the coming weeks. \"Wiretap covers a lot of different things. I think you're going to find some very interesting items coming to the forefront over the next two weeks,\" he said in an interview broadcast on Wednesday night. No evidence of wiretapping, according to: Mr Trump echoed comments from White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer, who said the president used the word \"wiretap\" in quotes to broadly refer to \"surveillance and other activities\". The White House has yet to provide any evidence of the president's claims, and instead has asked Congress to examine the allegation as part of a wider investigation into alleged Russian interference in last year's election.",

            "input": "The Severe Fetal Impairment Bill, brought by DUP MLA Paul Givan, passed its second stage by 48 votes to 12. It will now go forward for scrutiny at Stormont's health committee. NI's abortion laws changed significantly last year following legislation passed at Westminster. DUP MLA Paul Givan had said he wanted to amend legislation to show that people with disabilities are \"equally valued\". He told MLAs that his bill \"tackles disability discrimination and how the law perpetuates stereotypes\". The debate on Monday, which lasted into the evening, saw some sharp exchanges on an issue which is divisive. Both the first and deputy first ministers made interventions from the back benches, which is highly unusual. 'Realm of eugenics' The DUP leader, Arlene Foster, said she had not intended to speak but had been \"distressed\" at some of the contributions made during the debate. She singled out the Green Party leader Clare Bailey who, she said, had sought to equate the issue with that of violence against women. She also said she feared the issue of abortion was entering into the \"area of eugenics\". Ms Bailey claimed unionists were quite happy to accept an Irish Sea border when it came to abortion. She condemned the bill and said it was \"designed to curb the rights of women\". \"The bill is supported by MLAs who have been frenzied in their opposition to an Irish Sea border as it threatens their sense of Britishness. \"The same MLAs are happy for Northern Ireland to, once again, exist as a place apart without the abortion services that women across the United Kingdom access each and every day.\" The bill was backed by the DUP but opposed by Sinn Féin, though the Deputy First Minister Michelle O'Neill said the party would abstain. Ms O'Neill, speaking as a Sinn Féin MLA, said she wanted to \"give a voice to those women who find themselves in incredibly difficult and very vulnerable circumstances\". \"This is the thin end of the wedge and attempting to reopen a debate that has already been had around women's healthcare provision,\" she told MLAs on Monday. Ms O'Neill accused the DUP and Health Minister Robin Swann of \"failing\" women by not commissioning services which were legislated for by Westminster in 2019. \"Women are entitled to have compassionate healthcare,\" she said. The TUV leader, Jim Allister, said the assembly was being asked to choose between life and death and said he hoped those behind the bill saw it not as an end but a beginning. The other executive parties, the Ulster Unionists, SDLP and Alliance allowed members to vote according to their conscience. Alliance MLA Paula Bradshaw said the bill was about \"the ongoing denial of women's rights\". She said it was \"utterly inadequate\" and was a \"lazy attempt\" to change the law. Ms Bradshaw said \"what kind of ogres do proponents of this bill think we are?\". She told the assembly that \"we need to end this nonsense\" that women faced with a complex pregnancy or a crisis pregnancy want \"abortion on demand\". The move by Mr Givan was supported by Sinead Bradley of the SDLP. She told MLAs that when it came to this issue, she chose to see ability, \"not your disability\". Rosemary Barton, from the UUP, also backed the move and offered her \"wholehearted support\". Sinn Féin's Deirdre Hargey called for the full rollout of abortion services as promised in legislation passed at Westminster. Mr Givan's bill was backed by some disability rights campaigners, including Heidi Crowter who has Down's syndrome. She is taking separate legal action against the UK government.",

            "input": "The request came after a motion by the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) to adjourn the assembly was defeated. The prime minister has asked for further \"urgent\" talks to find a way forward, Downing Street said. The crisis was triggered by the murder of Kevin McGuigan Sr and a decision by the UUP to leave the executive. The assembly is due to return next Monday after the summer recess. But Mr Robinson said after an assessment by the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) of an IRA role in the murder of Mr McGuigan Sr it \"cannot be business as usual\". The DUP's proposal for an assembly adjournment was brought before Stormont's business committee on Tuesday but was overruled by the other parties. Mr Robinson led a DUP delegation to meet Mr Cameron at Downing Street on Tuesday afternoon. 'Rebuild trust' Speaking after the meeting, the DUP leader said: \"The government could suspend and we've asked the prime minister to consider that, if indeed the parties don't recognise an adjournment would be a better option.\" In a written statement, Downing Street said: \"The prime minister recognised the gravity of the current situation and the need to rebuild trust and confidence in the political process in Northern Ireland.\" As such he has asked Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, Theresa Villiers, to hold further talks with the aim of agreeing a way forward, the statement added. Analysis: What is the background to the Stormont row? Stormont's power-sharing government returned in 2007, headed by then Democratic Unionist Party leader Ian Paisley as first minister and Sinn Féin's Martin McGuinness as deputy first minister. The two men had been bitter enemies for many years, but the decommissioning of IRA weapons in 2005 and Sinn Féin's endorsement of policing in Northern Ireland paved the way for Stormont's return. In the last assessment by the Independent Monitoring Commission, an official body that monitored paramilitary activity that was wound down in 2010, it said it believed the Provisional IRA had \"maintained its political course\" and \"would continue to do so\". With Northern Ireland's chief constable now saying the Provisional IRA still exists and some of its members were involved in the murder of Kevin McGuigan, renewed focus has been placed on the stability of the institutions at Stormont. Q&A: UUP withdrawal Police believe IRA members were involved in the killing of Mr McGuigan, a former IRA man who was shot dead in east Belfast last month. In the wake of the shooting, the head of Northern Ireland's police service said that the IRA still exists. But the chief constable added that there was no evidence that the murder had been sanctioned at a senior level in the organisation. That was rejected by Sinn Féin who said the IRA \"had left the stage\". Northern Ireland's Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness, who is also a senior member of Sinn Féin, said he took strong exception to anyone who questioned his commitment to peace. He said his party had a strong record of condemning violence and said those who went armed with a gun were \"no friend of Sinn Féin\". 'Fast and loose' He described the killers of Kevin McGuigan and Jock Davison as \"criminals\" and \"violent dissidents\". He also criticised the UUP's withdrawal from the executive and said the party were \"playing fast and loose with the peace process\". Mr McGuinness said the UUP action was \"all about the election\" and said if the DUP followed suit and left the executive it would show a \"massive failure of leadership\" which would leave a \"vacuum\" of a \"very real prospect of an increase in violence on our streets\". The DUP's proposal for an assembly adjournment was brought before Stormont's business committee on Tuesday. But it was opposed by the UUP, Sinn Féin and the SDLP. The UUP's sole minister Danny Kennedy submitted his resignation from the executive on Tuesday. 'Real dialogue' Meanwhile, Northern Ireland Secretary Theresa Villiers met the Irish foreign and justice ministers in Dublin to discuss the crisis. She said it was important that political parties in Northern Ireland had \"real dialogue\" and worked together to resolve the future of the executive. She added that it was \"well worth considering\" bringing back a body similar to the International Monitoring Commission to monitor paramilitary activity. She also said it was important to bring paramilitarism to an end. After the two-hour meeting, Irish Foreign Affairs Minister Charlie Flanagan said \"no best interest was served\" in allowing Northern Ireland's political institutions to collapse. He said \"a number of options\" were on the table over how to rebuild trust among the parties, and added that there was a need for them to re-commit to \"the spirit and the letter of the Good Friday Agreement\".",

E.On said 100 jobs will be safeguarded. Energy Minister Charles Hendry said the scheme would be a \"useful contribution towards a low carbon economy\". The plans to build a fuel store at Ironbridge Power Station were approved by councillors in Shropshire last month. The company has said it plans to use wood from sustainable forests, sourced principally from North America and that burning bio-fuels will help it meet EU air quality controls by dramatically reducing carbon emissions. 'Encouraging biomass' The group Biofuelwatch claims burning wood pellets would emit up to 50% more carbon dioxide than coal and that it would take \"decades or even centuries for that carbon to be absorbed by new trees\". But Mr Hendry said: \"It is quite legitimate to import the wood from overseas and Ironbridge would be a useful contribution towards a low carbon economy. \"If there's a dead forest in North America that no longer has any benefit and wood from that forest is going to be used in the mix then that's entirely legitimate. \"We want to make sure we move in a low carbon direction and we're encouraging power stations to convert to using biomass. \" E.On plans to import two million tonnes of wood a year to burn at Ironbridge Power Station and the UK produces 10 million tonnes a year. The power station, which generates up to 1,000MW of electricity using coal from Russia, can power up to 750,000 homes. E.On has said the plans would safeguard more than 100 jobs at the power station over the next three years. The government's Bioenergy Strategy admits there is a \"fundamental problem\" with measuring the carbon emissions from wood sourced from countries out of the Kyoto Treaty. It says using biomass sourced from America may make it appear to be more environmentally-friendly than it is.",

The drop came despite Twitter reporting better-than-expected revenues and earnings for the second quarter. Analysts said the firm's honesty over its problems had made investors wary. \"There's not going to be a a material reversal in trends anytime soon. They were extremely candid about that. That's why the stock is down,\" MCH analyst James Cakmak told the BBC. Despite the negative investor reaction, Mr Cakmak said the firm's openness was \"evidence of a focus\" that was not there previously, which he said provided \"comfort\" over its future direction. But in general, Wall Street analysts reacted negatively, with an estimated 18 brokerages cutting their estimates of the shares' valuation to as low as $30. 'Radical shift' That is significantly below the $38.80 price at which the shares debuted on the US stock market in 2013. Investors' main concern remains user growth, with active users rising to 316 million in the three months to June, just a slight increase on the 308 million in the first quarter. While chief financial officer Anthony Noto acknowledged the problem - saying people were still not clear why they should use Twitter, and that it was still too difficult for people to use - analysts are still not convinced the firm will be able to fix its problems. \"In essence, it must go from being a one-product company to an ecosystem and this will require a radical shift in strategy from where the company is today,\" said Edison Investment Research analyst Richard Windsor. And RBC analyst Mark Mahaney said improvements in revenues would not be enough to help it grow in the long term. \"That's why monthly average user growth matters. That's why user and usage metrics matter,\" he said. The other fear for investors is that the firm has still failed to appoint a permanent new chief executive after previous boss Dick Costolo stepped down. Co-founder Jack Dorsey started as interim chief executive at the start of this month, but Mr Cakmak warned it made the firm's long-term direction uncertain. \"What's the new chief executive's game plan?

Hospitals are there to make people better, but unfortunately sometimes people do die. \"There are thousands of people going through our two main hospitals and every one of those are entitled to proper safe quality care, now if that's not happening or it's slipping, then we need to keep on top of it.\"",

            "input": "\"My father was an upholsterer, he knew how to sew,\" says 85-year-old Dario Israel. His brother Vittorio, 84, agrees. \"Sewing for him was as easy as pie. To unpick, pull out, refill and restitch would have been so simple for him.\" They are describing how their father sent letters from his cell in Trieste's Coroneo prison to the city outside - by stitching them into the collars and cuffs of his dirty shirts before they were taken away to be laundered. Two non-Jewish former employees of his upholstery shop would pick up his laundry from the prison, but instead of washing it themselves they would deliver it, at great personal risk, to the address where Daniele's wife, Anna, was hiding. \"Of course I remember when the letters arrived. We always waited for them,\" Vittorio says. \"We'd wait for our father's laundry to arrive for my mum to wash but first she'd search for the letters in his shirt collars and cuffs. She'd unstitch them and extract the letters. We'd be sitting there and she'd read out to us what papa had written.\" Vittorio remembers the combination of joy, anxiety and sadness the boys, aged eight and nine, felt while listening to their father's words. \"He wrote most of them for us because he maybe wanted to help us get through this difficult time. He often wrote asking how we were, what we were doing. He wanted to look after us, make sure we weren't sick. In all his letters he expressed his state of mind. He was always scared for us. He begged our mother to be careful and make sure we weren't found.\" Anna washed the shirts then stitched in her replies before the ex-employees, both seamstresses, collected the bundle of laundry and took it back to the prison - along with paper, ink and any food that Daniele had requested. Fearing the round-ups of Jews that had quickly begun in Trieste's old town after Germany took control of post-Mussolini Italy in September 1943, Daniele had sent his wife and sons out of the city to temporary safety. \"He thought things would calm down,\" sighs Vittorio, squinting in the sunlight up at the windows of their old flat in the Via Giulia, not far from the city's synagogue. It's the first time he and his brother have returned to their old address since emigrating to Israel more than 70 years ago. Things didn't calm down though, and Daniele was arrested in his upholstery shop together with his father-in-law on 30 December 1943 - his mother-in-law was arrested on the same day in this same building on the Via Giulia. At this point, the boys and their mother secretly returned to Trieste and went into hiding in a woodshed belonging to Anna's brother-in-law, a Catholic carpenter. \"He'd taken all the stuff out to give us this place to live. It was a room with no light or water or a window, just a small skylight in the roof. There wasn't even a toilet. He told all his neighbours that we were refugees from Pola [now Pula, in Croatia] whose home had been bombed by the Americans.\" The German authorities regularly put pressure on Daniele to reveal their hiding place. \"He told us that the SS official would come once a week to ask him if he was in contact with us, because how was it possible he didn't know where his children and his wife were? My father kept saying he had no contact,\" Vittorio says. \"More than once\", Dario continues, \"he wrote that he'd been tortured because the official had said it was impossible he didn't know where we were. But he endured it all and after each interrogation he'd write to us that same day about it.\" This made concealing the correspondence critically important, and sadly - though Anna preserved all of Daniele's nearly 250 letters - none of her replies survive. \"He would read them then destroy them immediately,\" says Dario. In one letter he asked Anna to choose the paper she wrote on very carefully as he was worried the crackling sound might betray their existence to the guards. \"If they'd fallen into the Germans' hands, it would have been the end of him. They'd have tortured him until they'd got something out of him. It was luck and the will of God that this means of communication was never discovered. \"He warned my mother that there were spies, that she should trust nobody.\" The letters contain a great deal of information about daily life in the Coroneo prison. Daniele would write about people who had been arrested and brought into the cells and what he'd done during the day. But there is also a lot of painfully intimate correspondence. He explained how he constantly missed them and how Anna's letters were the only comfort he had. He also remembered a time when his sons had come home crying because the children of a nearby family had called them \"Jewish pigs\" and beaten them up. Instead of consoling his sons, he'd been angry with them and punished them for not defending themselves. He wrote more than once asking for forgiveness. \"With all that happened later on, the incident really stuck in his head. He wrote how full of remorse he was,\" says Vittorio. \"He took that regret to his death.\" His love for his sons leaps out from all his letters, but in one of the last he had a surprise for them. \"On 20 August he sent a letter to my mother and he put 200 lire in with it. He had 200 lire! And he begged her, 'Please buy a gift for Dario and Vittorio for their birthdays with it,'\" Dario says. Dario's knowledge of these events comes from rereading the letters, and talking to Vittorio. His own memories were almost completely wiped out as a result of a traumatic experience that occurred during the Allied bombing of Trieste in 1944. Dario was missing for 24 hours and when he returned he didn't speak for a long time. When he finally did, it became clear his memory was damaged; he didn't even remember that his father was in prison. The only experience Dario does remember today is an exceptional event - the time his mother took him to see his father in prison. \"The Coroneo had a courtyard where the prisoners could walk around for a couple of hours. My mother took me to a house opposite, right up to the top floor. She must have arranged with my dad that we'd go on that day. He waved to us and we saw him.\" Daniele then wrote to Anna, \"Bring me Vittorio too.\" \"I saw my dad in the courtyard,\" says Vittorio. \"My grandpa and grandma were there too but they didn't turn to look at us. It was only my dad who looked up, and raised his arm.\" During Daniele's eight months in the Coroneo prison, the Allies were fighting their way up from southern Italy. They broke through at Monte Cassino in spring, took Rome in June and Florence in August. It's possible that Daniele was aware of this, as he had access to newspapers and sometimes wrote his letters on scraps of paper torn from their margins. Daniele's sons believe he was held in Trieste for so long because of his skills as an upholsterer. Vittorio remembers how highly respected their father was before his imprisonment, and how he was always busy. \"He made curtains, armchairs, mattresses, everything. He made the leather seats for the law courts. Everyone loved him.\" This continued after his imprisonment. \"The Germans and the prison director got him to make mattresses for their homes,\" Dario says. He recounts how their father once wrote that he had been taken out to work in a private house and could have escaped through the toilet window, but lost his nerve and returned to the prison with his guards. To begin with he was frustrated that some prisoners who arrived at the Coroneo after him were leaving sooner. \"He would see other Jews from Trieste arrive and say, 'Why do they send everyone else away and not me? I want to go and work too.' At first he didn't realise they were going to their deaths,\" says Vittorio. But by the time Daniele and his parents-in-law had been put on a train to Auschwitz on 2 September 1944 \"he had understood\", says Vittorio. Astonishingly, Daniele continued to write. Vittorio says he knew one of the workers on the train, who delivered a final letter to Anna, written within sight of the death camp. \"He gave him a letter that he brought to us and in that letter he'd written, 'From the distance you can see the smoke. There's so much smoke here. This is hell.'\" The brothers know their grandparents died at Auschwitz, but the family never found out what happened to Daniele. At the end of the war, they heard that he had been seen alive two weeks before the camp was liberated. Dario says their mother searched for years, through the Red Cross and on her own, hoping he'd gone to Russia, or lost his memory. The brothers believe he probably died on a death march, as the Germans attempted to move thousands of Auschwitz prisoners to camps further west. \"After the war we came back to this house [in Via Giulia] and lived here until 1949,\" Vittorio says. At that point Anna finally gave up hope and decided to emigrate, \"because my father had written that if he didn't return we should go to live in Palestine\". It was an idea she and Daniele had discussed before the war. In 1939 the couple had visited a photographer's studio with their two sons, to pose for a passport photo (the one at the top of this story). Daniele had been keen to emigrate, but it was difficult for Anna to leave her parents and in the end they decided against it. The knowledge that her concern for her parents' well-being had brought such disastrous results must have been hard to bear. The collection of letters from her husband was one of the few things she took with her when leaving Italy. She kept them safe in a drawer in the cloth bag she had carried them in. The brothers found them when clearing out her apartment in Tel Aviv after she died 12 years ago, at the age of 96. \"Our mother considered these letters the greatest treasure she had,\" says Vittorio. Did she read them? \"Maybe she sometimes did but not in our presence. Maybe she didn't want to cause us pain.\" In order to avoid causing her pain, Vittorio and Dario never talked about what had happened. Vittorio remembered the letters but only told his family about them a couple of years before Anna died, when his grandchildren were asked to reconstruct their family tree for a school project. But even then he didn't raise the subject with Anna. In fact, Anna did mention the letters once herself. She showed them to Dario's wife, who then told Dario's son, Daniel, about them. But Daniel too put all thoughts about them to one side. The letters would have simply remained a family treasure had it not been for a chance meeting in 2017 with researchers from MyHeritage, who were trying to locate Jews from Corfu. Many of Trieste's Jews, including members of Dario and Vittorio's family, were originally from the Greek island. When Vittorio brought out the collection, the researchers instantly realised how precious they were. \"It's really a treasure, a historical treasure. I don't think we'll find anything like this again,\" says Elisabeth Zetland, one of MyHeritage's genealogy research team. I love you very much and always pray to God to let me see you again. I really miss you. On the 12th August, if you can, send me a half litre of marsala. Every other day I'll make myself a zabaglione. If they don't let it through, too bad, thanks anyway. Elisabeth went on to spend months transcribing and translating Daniele's letters - he wrote an average of one per day for the period of his incarceration - reliving the days and months with him. \"I was doing this all day long and I went home and I was dreaming of Daniele,\" she says. The letters crystallise the emotions that all Jews went through during World War Two, Elisabeth suggests. At first Daniele cannot understand why he is in prison and thinks there has been some mistake. Then comes boredom, frustration, fear, heartache, hope and desperation. Elisabeth believes the correspondence with his wife was the only thing that kept him from going completely out of his mind. \"He was broken, really depressed. He was very afraid for his family because they were hiding. He was more afraid for them than for himself. He was afraid he would never see them again, never kiss them again, so he wrote letters for the children to give them advice on how to become good men.\" Elisabeth and her colleagues made translations and copies of all the letters for the family to keep. The originals are now in Yad Vashem, the World Holocaust Remembrance Center in Jerusalem. For the brothers from Trieste it is a comforting tribute to their father, who never had his own grave. And they have willingly followed the advice he wrote in a letter that Dario reads out loud, before emotion silences him. \"Be good and true brothers, love each other always. That way you'll make me and your dear mother, who is such a good person, happy.\" Here in Trieste, on a trip from Israel with all their children, Vittorio smiles warmly at his brother. \"The two of us are always in touch, every single day.\" In Israel, Anna, Dario and Vittorio settled in the Tel Aviv area. Vittorio worked as a carpenter, using skills picked up from his uncle, and Dario worked as a furniture and piano restorer. Between them, the brothers have four children (both named a son Daniel, after their father) and 13 grandchildren. Daniele's final letter, including the description of the smoke at Auschwitz, was lost a few years ago, but Vittorio says he remembers the words clearly and even the paper it was written on. The brothers have visited Trieste before, but only returned to their former home on the Via Giulia this year, for a ceremony to mark the installation of four stolpersteine - engraved brass cobblestones - in the pavement. These commemorate their father, grandparents and great-aunt, all of whom were sent to concentration camps, and only one of whom survived. The stones show each person's name and the date and place of their birth and death.

            "input": "From jokey references to the classic Simpsons episode in which Springfield's new monorail system spun dangerously out of control to descriptions of the proposal as \"pie in the sky\", few city residents seemed convinced it would ever happen. Despite potentially solving the twin problems of congestion and pollution, no UK city has yet installed a monorail system. So why are they seemingly not taken seriously? Clip: The Simpsons/20th Century Fox Television What's been proposed in Derby? Council boss Chris Poulter's grand vision for monorails in Derby was inspired by local manufacturer Bombardier landing a £2.65bn contract to build monorails for Egypt. \"Bombardier are making monorail carriages for the pyramids, so why can't we have something like that in Derby?\" he reasoned. He went on to say the monorail could link the city centre with the Pride Park business park and the planned regional HS2 station in Toton, Nottinghamshire. What did residents say? Mixed reviews. On social media the idea was branded \"la la land\", a \"daft idea\" and a \"fantasy project\". Even those in favour expressed doubt the council could oversee such an ambitious project while others just had fun posting Simpsons gifs. Laura Pinney, a Derby resident currently on holiday in the US, said she enjoyed riding Seattle's monorail but thought a tram system would be more suitable for Derby. Are monorails a good idea? Derby isn't the first UK city to consider the merits of a monorail system but so far no schemes have reached fruition. Sim Harris, editor of RailNews, said he was not surprised. \"They've never been a tremendous success in the past, by and large,\" he said. \"Monorails are incredibly intrusive. They get in the way visually much more than railways, tramways and indeed buses. They really dominate the city landscape. \"And I'm not sure of the benefit of using an unusual technology. It'll be harder to maintain, more expensive and won't link to anything else. \"I'd urge them [Derby City Council] to look very closely indeed at the detail, the cost and the consequences. \"Monorails seem like a good idea until you actually use them.\" In his 2019 book, A Short History of Trains, transport writer and broadcaster Christian Wolmar wrote: \"[Monorails] have never overcome the basic problems of being expensive to build, and being inflexible due to the structural requirements of their rails.\" Bombardier has said the cost of building a monorail system in Derby would run into the billions, quite a stretch for a city council that only spent £74m on capital projects last year and whose most recent major transport project went almost three times over-budget. So why do other countries have monorails? While the UK continues to resist the allure of urban monorails, cities in other countries have embraced the concept with varying degrees of success. China, Japan and India have several monorail networks, with more planned, and they have also been built in Australia, Germany, the US and Malaysia. Sim Harris said geography and geology played a part. He said: \"Many monorail systems run on elevated tracks through crowded areas that would otherwise require the construction of expensive underground lines or have the disadvantages of surface lines. \"China, Japan and India have some of the most crowded cities in the world, and have little space at ground level for conventional trains or trams. \"India, at least, probably cannot afford costly underground lines, and much depends on the geology. \"London is favoured with a stratum of blue clay, particularly north of the Thames, which made construction of a deep tube network easy, comparatively speaking. \"Other cities are not so fortunate, and so building metros under them costs more. \"Also, I suspect that countries like India and China are less bothered about the intrusive aspects of a monorail than we would be in western Europe.\" But there are some monorails in the UK? Yes. Alton Towers in Staffordshire has had one since the 1980s. However, Chester Zoo's Zoofari monorail - built in 1991 - is being decommissioned as it no longer adequately spans the expanded attraction. People in the West Midlands still talk fondly about the monorail built to service the Merry Hill shopping centre near Dudley in 1991. The £22m system was connected by four stations but closed in 1996 after the centre was sold and the new owners did not want it. The system was subsequently sold to a shopping centre in Queensland, Australia. What happened in Sydney? Perhaps the most high profile monorail failure in recent times was also in Australia - in Sydney. Opened in July 1988 to link Darling Harbour with the city's central business and shopping districts, the monorail struggled to capture the public's imagination and was closed in June 2013. Announcing plans to pull the whole thing down, New South Wales premier Barry O'Farrell said: \"The monorail is not integrated with Sydney's wider public transport network and has never been truly embraced by the community. \"While it has been a controversial part of Sydney's history for more than 20 years, the monorail is reaching the end of its economic life and the NSW Government cannot justify costly upgrades like the purchase of new vehicles required to keep it running.\" You may also be interested in: Is anyone fighting the corner for monorails? That would be The Monorail Society. With more than 14,000 members in 104 countries, the group has been espousing the benefits of monorails since 1989. Aside from the transport's long-touted green credentials, the society says the raised tracks free up the ground beneath for new development, rather than having to build on green spaces. The monorail episode of The Simpson - famous for its catchy musical number - still irritates members of the society. It said: \"In a world where economies lose billions each year due to traffic congestion, which loses millions of acres of wilderness to sprawling development and road construction, we need more green, electric, automated, elevated transportation systems such as monorail, and they need to be represented fairly on television and in the media. \"Have honest, competent engineers build a monorail system for any city and it will be a huge success.

The councillor said she was \"deeply sorry\" for the \"grief and trauma\" caused by the blaze in west London. The fractious meeting ended early after a female resident fell to the ground and was attended to by medics. About 70 of the 255 people who survived the blaze attended the meeting after condemnation of the council's response. At least 80 people are dead or missing after the tower block fire on 14 June. The council has been accused of being slow to react on the ground and not doing enough to re-house Grenfell Tower residents. Many people in the public gallery at Kensington Town Hall were calling for the Conservative group that runs the council to resign and for new elections. It was the first cabinet meeting since the fire, after the council abandoned an earlier meeting - which had been planned as a closed one - when members of the press were allowed in after a High Court judgement. Addressing survivors in the chamber, Ms Campbell said: \"I am truly sorry that we did not do more to help you when you needed it the most.\" Grenfell Tower fire: Who were the victims? Former Grenfell Tower residents sat in the public gallery, while at least 150 community members and volunteers were in an overspill room. One by one, residents and those who lost loved ones gave accounts of their traumatic experiences, voicing their distrust in local services. One survivor, from the 16th floor of Grenfell Tower, who gave his name as Hamid, said he had \"had enough\". \"I need a place to go and start my life,\" he said. \"I'm not asking for something big. \"We need to move on. We want to go to work - kids got to go to school.\" 'Forgotten about' Another survivor told the chamber he had been living in a hotel room since the fire, with just one double bed between him, his wife and three children. He said that the residents' main problem was a lack of action. \"I was forgotten about,\" he added. \"You know who has done something for us? The residents of North Kensington. Our community. Our neighbours.\" As the meeting progressed, attention turned to a petition calling for the council's entire elected leadership to resign. It was signed by more than 1,500 people, passing the threshold for a debate by councillors. Labour's newly elected MP for Kensington, Emma Dent Coad, said: \"I agree entirely with the petition's demands.\" Ms Campbell, who was heckled again as she responded to the petition, said: \"We will not continue business as usual and we will rebuild trust, as I said, brick by brick.\" New homes promised Earlier, she said 68 new homes for Grenfell Tower survivors would be identified and bought within the next two weeks, and an additional 31 homes would be acquired in the next few weeks. The councillor also promised that 400 new social houses would be built over the next five years. She took over as de facto leader after Nicholas Paget-Brown resigned on 30 June. She later admitted on the Today programme that she had never been in a tower block, but added that she had visited many council houses.

            "input": "Mr Thaksin, who was ousted in 2006 and lives in self-imposed exile, told the BBC the inconsistencies \"worried\" him. The election was Thailand's first since a military coup in 2014 removed Mr Thaksin's sister, Yingluck Shinawatra. Early results saw the pro-military Palang Pracha Rath Party (PPRP) gain a larger share of the popular vote. But Pheu Thai - the party linked to Mr Thaksin which has won every election since 2001 - appears to have won the most seats overall. It remains unclear which party is most likely to be able to form a government. Official results will be released in May. Weeks of negotiations are expected until then as parties try to arrange coalitions. But there have been growing complaints about discrepancies in the voter turnout and number of ballots cast. Officials have said there were some cases of \"human error\" in reporting the data. 'Making our country lose credibility' Mr Thaksin was removed by a coup in 2006. He now lives in self-imposed exile to avoid a conviction in Thailand for abuse of power, but remains hugely influential in Thai politics. Speaking to BBC Thai in Hong Kong, he said there were \"a lot of irregularities which made me worried to see the country's politics and electoral system so backward\". Mr Thaksin cited one example, saying there were \"pictures from Petchabun province where the ballot boxes were taken out and the ballot paper put back in at a local office\". He added that the number of ballot papers were higher than those casting the votes, adding that in many constituencies, the PPRP's vote \"just jumped all of a sudden... from third place to first place.\" \"In some constituencies, the PPRP switched from losing to winning... I see it as damaging and making our country lose its credibility,\" he said. 'Was the election rigged?' Analysis by BBC's Jonathan Head in Bangkok In the five years since their coup the military junta and its conservative backers have tried to purge Thaksin Shinawatra from Thai politics, and failed. His name and image were barred from the election campaign, and parties risked dissolution if any links to him were found. Yet everyone knows his party, Pheu Thai, still refers to him for all important decisions. Pheu Thai supporters express open affection and nostalgia for his time as prime minister. He is a fixture they cannot remove. For now. Thai journalists flocked to Hong Kong to see him at his daughter's wedding last Friday. Now he has given a series of interviews. His party did worse than expected in the election. It won only half the votes it got in the 2011 election, and far fewer seats, though still more than any other party. Many of his supporters suspect electoral fraud, and will take his allegations of the same seriously. But there are always infractions and irregularities, as he calls them, in Thai elections. Whether these have significantly altered the overall result is not clear yet, but it seems unlikely, despite some shoddy handling of the results by the Election Commission. A wholesale rigging of the results would not have allowed the staunchly anti-military party Future Forward to do so well. Was the election rigged? In a way, yes, because the entire electoral system was weighted so heavily in favour of the pro-military party, especially the appointed 250-seat senate. But one of the few independent monitoring groups has cited poor preparation by the authorities and inadequate voter education as a principal cause of the unexpectedly low turnout, and a reason to describe the vote as not free and fair. Mr Thaksin's thoughts were echoed by many Thais on social media. On Monday, the hashtags \"Election Commission (EC) exposed\" and \"cheating election\" were trending. Some also questioned the reported turnout, which was unexpectedly low at 64%. The EC later said that media had misreported the data it was giving them, and that its servers had suffered from unspecified hacking attacks. Speaking to journalists, the EC's secretary-general, Charungvith Phumma, blamed \"human error\", saying the people who put the numbers of votes in were just regular people. At the time of the 2014 coup, the military said it wanted to restore order and stability and put a stop to the street protests which have broken out repeatedly over the years. But after seizing power, it introduced a new constitution which opponents say was designed to keep pro-military forces in power.",

The Welsh word used for the assembly building is Senedd, which translates into English as \"parliament\". But the Wales Office indicated that the move was \"not a priority\". A spokesman for the Wales Office said any change in the name of the National Assembly would require changes to primary legislation. Mr Davies, leader of the Conservative group in the National Assembly, the second largest party to Labour, describes himself as a \"proud unionist\". He said his suggestion had nothing to do with any greater separation between Wales and the rest of the UK. He said the move, which he claims would require only a small amendment in existing legislation to be in place by 2016, would be \"a statement about the institution which now legislates for our great nation\". Mr Davies, the South Wales Central AM, said: \"By voting for full law-making powers last year the people of Wales made their National Assembly a parliament in all but name. \"It's now time to reward their faith in our institution and acknowledge that where laws are made - the title of a parliament should exist. This is a common-sense move. \"It would provide far greater clarity over the distinction between the assembly - as it is currently named - and the Welsh government, and it would give our devolved institution its rightful place alongside other national legislatures. \"As we drive forward it is crucially important that we embrace what we now have. Put simply - a parliament.\" Slow and cumbersome He added that no expensive rebrand, new building or more politicians were required, but the name change would be simple recognition of the maturity of the devolution process. \"Some may say this is just a name change. I say there is a lot in a name,\" Mr Davies said. The National Assembly was established in 1999, but until 2007 could not pass any primary legislation. Between 2007 and 2011 it had to seek powers to pass laws from Westminster on a piecemeal basis, a process described by many as slow and cumbersome. Since May 2011, it has been able to pass legislation in 20 devolved fields such as health, education and agriculture without reference to Westminster. Asked whether he had discussed his call with the Secretary of State for Wales Cheryl Gillan, Mr Davies would only say that the pair \"held discussions all the time\". A Welsh Government spokesman said: \"This is a very interesting idea and certainly deserves further consideration. However, we do need to know the views of the Secretary of State for Wales on this matter.\" Meanwhile, the Assembly's Presiding Officer Rosemary Butler said: \"Terminology is important and there were undoubtedly difficulties in the early years of devolution in distinguishing in the public's mind between the National Assembly for Wales and the Welsh Assembly Government. \"Unfortunately changing its name is not something that is within the assembly's gift. It could be done only through legislation in Westminster. \"What matters to me is ensuring that the assembly continues to act as a fully-fledged parliamentary body, namely, by holding the Welsh government to account, making the best possible laws for Wales and representing Wales and its people.\"",

Sarson's is the UK's best-selling vinegar brand. Both it and the Haywards business date back more than 100 years, with Sarson's created in 1794 by Thomas Sarson. Haywards dates back to 1868 and also makes pickled onions red cabbage and gherkins.

Mizkan said it was delighted to have bought the brands, which it said were \"beloved\" by consumers and provided a solid foundation for further growth in the UK.

In March this year it renegotiated its bank debt and was given more time to repay the £1bn of loans. The company, the UK's largest food manufacturer, ran up large debts after buying up brands including Homepride and Fray Bentos.

            "input": "The case of Wu Huayan shocked Chinese people after it hit the headlines earlier this week. The 24-year old woman became seriously malnourished while struggling to study and support her sick brother. Ms Wu's story also sparked anger at authorities for failing to recognise her plight and help her much earlier. After the story was reported, donations began pouring in for the college student in the city of Guiyang - reportedly totalling some 800,000 yuan ($114,000, £88,000). What is Wu Huayan's story? Earlier, this month, the young woman went into hospital after having difficulty breathing, according to Chinese media. She was only 135cm (4ft 5ins) tall, weighing barely more than 20kg (43 pounds; three stones). The doctors found she was suffering from heart and kidney problems due to five years spent eating minimal amounts of food. She said she needed to save money to support her sick brother. Wu Huayan lost her mother when she was four and her father died when she was in school. She and her brother were then supported by their grandmother, and later by an uncle and aunt who could only support them with 300 yuan ($42, £32) each month. Most of that money went on the medical bills of her younger brother, who had mental health problems. This meant Ms Wu spent only 2 yuan a day on herself, surviving largely off chillies and rice. The siblings are from Guizhou, one of the poorest provinces in China. What has the reaction been? The case sparked an outpouring of concern - and anger at authorities. Many people on social media said they wanted to help with donations, and many voiced concern about her college not helping her. One user called her situation \"worse than that of refugees in Afghanistan\", while another pointed to the extravagant cost of China's 70th anniversary celebrations, saying the money could have been better spent. Others expressed their admiration at her efforts to help her brother, while also persevering with her studies in college. Aside from the donations on crowd funding platforms, her teachers and classmates donated 40,000 yuan ($5,700; £4,400), while local villagers collected 30,000 yuan to help her. Officials released a statement saying Ms Wu had been receiving the minimum government subsidy - thought to be between 300 and 700 yuan a month - and was now getting an emergency relief fund of 20,000 yuan. \"We will keep following the case of this strong-minded and kind girl,\" the Tongren City Civil Affairs Bureau said. \"We will actively co-operate with other relevant departments to solve the problem according to the minimum living standard and temporary assistance responsibility that the civil affairs department bears.\" How bad is poverty in China? The case of Wu Huayan has echoes of a story from 2018 when a Chinese boy arrived at school with his hair full of frozen ice. Dubbed \"Little Wang\", his story also went viral, leading to international donations from people impressed by his resilience, and shocked at his poverty. While China's economy has skyrocketed over the past decades, poverty has not disappeared, and inequality has grown. One major reason cited is the huge divide between rural and urban areas. According to the bureau, the per capita disposable income of a household in the capital Beijing was 57,229 yuan ($8,090; £6,300) in 2017. As a point of comparison, in rural region of Guizhou where Ms Wu lives, that figure is around 16,703 yuan. China has moved from being \"moderately unequal in 1990 to being one of the world's most unequal countries,\" according to a 2018 report by the International Monetary Fund. According to the National Bureau of Statistics in 2017, 30.46 million rural people were still living below the national poverty line of $1.90 a day. China has previously pledged to \"eliminate\" poverty by 2020.",

The Supreme Court's unanimous decision followed a legal battle between the world's top two smartphone manufacturers that began in 2011 when Apple sued Samsung, asserting that its rival stole its technology and the iPhone's trademarked appearance. Samsung had been seeking to pare back the money it paid Apple in December following a 2012 jury verdict that it infringed Apple's iPhone patents and copied its distinctive appearance. After the trial, Apple was awarded nearly $930m in damages. In May 2015, a US appeals court upheld the patent infringement verdict, but said the iPhone's appearance could not be protected through trademarks. As a result, the court reduced Samsung's payment. Samsung had argued that the size of the penalty ignored the fact that its phones contain more than 200,000 other patents that Apple did not own.

Recently expanded The society's Jim Savage said: \"It is local solicitors' view that this idea is ill conceived and the consequences have not been fully thought through. \"Alloa is a very busy court and only recently the Scottish Court Service spent over £3m to expand the court facilities to meet local needs.\" Clackmannanshire Council's formal response to the SCS's consultation will be put before the full council at a meeting on 20 December and will incorporate the responses received via the online consultation.",

            "input": "By Chloe HadjimatheouBBC News, Athens When Korean backpacker Hyun Young Jung was stopped by a tall scruffy looking man speaking Greek on the street in central Athens he thought it might be some kind of scam, so he dismissed the man politely and continued on his way. A few moments later he was stopped again, this time by a man in uniform who asked for his documents. But as a hardened traveller he was cautious. Greece was the 16th stop in his two-year-long round-the-world trip and he'd often been warned about people dressing in fake uniforms to extract money from backpackers, so while he handed over his passport he also asked the man to show him his police ID. Instead, Jung says, he received a punch in the face. Within seconds, the uniformed man and his plainclothes partner - the man who had first approached Jung - had him down on the ground and were kicking him, according to the Korean. In shock, Jung was by now convinced he was being mugged by criminals and began shouting for help from passers-by. \"I was very scared,\" he says. It was only when he was handcuffed and dragged 500m (500 yards) up the road to the nearest police station that he realised he was actually under arrest. Jung says that outside the station the uniformed officer, without any kind of warning, turned on him again, hitting him in the face. \"There were members of the public who saw what happened, like the man who works in the shop opposite the police station, but they were too afraid to help me,\" he says. Inside the police station, Jung says he was attacked a third time in the stairwell where there were no people or cameras. \"I can understand them asking me for ID and I even understand that there may have been a case to justify them hitting me in the first instance. But why did they continue beating me after I was handcuffed?\" he asks. Jung was held with a number of migrants from Africa and Asia who had also been rounded up as part of the police's anti-immigration operation Xenios Zeus - named, strangely, after the ancient Greek god of hospitality. The operation aims to tackle the wave of illegal immigration which over the last decade has changed the face of Athens's city centre. It is thought that up to 95% of undocumented migrants entering the European Union arrive via Greece, and because border controls make it hard to continue into the rest of Europe many end up stuck in the country. According to some estimates, immigrants could now make up as much as 10% of the population. This has been an enormous shock for the country which, until recently, was more familiar with outward rather than inward migration. Now, in the grip of a crippling economic crisis and with a welfare system in meltdown, the government lacks the resources to support this new growing population. Few people are in any doubt that Greece needs an effective programme to manage its undocumented migrants. Lt Col Christos Manouras of the Hellenic police force says operation Xenios Zeus, launched last August, has slowed down the flow of illegal immigrants. Anyone who looks foreign, or who has aroused suspicion, may be stopped, he says. \"If someone is stopped by the police and they do not have a valid means of identification we will accompany them to the station until their nationality can be determined,\" he explains. \"I think that is normal and I would expect Greeks to be subjected to the same treatment abroad.\" But while more than 60,000 people have been detained on the streets of Athens since it was launched in August 2012, there have been fewer than 4,200 arrests. And some visitors to Greece have been detained despite having shown police their passports. Last summer, a Nigerian-born American, Christian Ukwuorji, visited Greece on a family holiday with his wife and three children. When police stopped him in central Athens he showed them his US passport, but they handcuffed him anyway and took him to the central police station. They gave no reason for holding him, but after a few hours in custody Ukwuorji says he was so badly beaten that he passed out. He woke up in hospital. \"I went there to spend my money but they stopped me just because of my colour,\" he says. \"They are racist.\" It is impossible to determine how many people have had a similar experience - but enough Americans for the US State Department to issue a warning to its citizens travelling to the country. It updated its website on 15 November to warn of \"confirmed reports of US African-American citizens detained by police conducting sweeps for illegal immigrants in Athens\", as well as a wider problem in Greek cities of \"unprovoked harassment and violent attacks against persons who, because of their complexion, are perceived to be foreign migrants\". Tourism is a major source of revenue in Greece, especially important at a time when many other businesses are going bust. Anything that deterred visitors in large numbers would be a disaster for the economy. The Greek Foreign Ministry spokesman Grigoris Delavekouras responded to the State Department warning by issuing a statement that \"isolated incidents of racist violence which have occurred are foreign to Greeks, our civilization and the long tradition of Greek hospitality.\" It is not only tourists who have been affected. In May last year a visiting academic from India, Dr Shailendra Kumar Rai was arrested outside the Athens University of Economics and Business, where he was working as a visiting lecturer. He had popped out for lunch, and forgotten to take his passport with him. \"The police thought I was Pakistani and since they didn't speak English they couldn't understand me when I tried to explain that I am from India,\" he says. When passing students saw their lecturer being held by police and lined up against a wall with a group of immigrants they were horrified and rushed inside to tell his colleagues. Despite protests from university staff who insisted they could vouch for him, the police handcuffed him and marched him down to the police station. \"Some of my Greek colleagues were almost crying with embarrassment,\" Rai recalls. \"I understand why the police need to ask for identity documents, they are just doing their job. But I think they are too aggressive - in my country only criminals are handcuffed.\" He was eventually released but there was an outcry in the Greek media which asked why an esteemed academic invited to the country to share his knowledge should be humiliated in such a way. Rai says he experienced no racial prejudice during his time in Greece, and does not accuse the police who arrested him of racism. But in a report for 2012, the Racist Violence Recording Network, a group consisting of 23 NGOs and the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, called on the Greek government to \"explicitly prevent police officers from racially motivated violent practices\" referring to 15 incidents where \"illegal acts\" had taken place. There have been a number of reports alleging strong support among the police for Golden Dawn, the ultra-right party that soared in popularity last year, winning 18 seats in June parliamentary elections. But police spokesman Lt Col Manouras insists that voting preferences are a personal issue. \"Whatever a police officer may feel in their private life, when they come to work and put on the uniform they assume the values of the force,\" he says. Greek police have absolute respect for human rights and treat people of all colour and ethnicity as fellow human beings, he says. \"Of course I cannot rule out the possibility that a police officer may have acted improperly,\" he adds, \"but this would be an isolated incident.\" He said he could not comment on the cases of Hyun Young Jung and Christian Ukwuorji, as they are under investigation. The Greek Foreign Ministry did not respond to requests to discuss the cases. When Jung was released from police custody without charge just a few hours after being detained, he says one officer shouted after him, \"Hey Korean, go home!\" Instead Jung went straight to the Korean Embassy in Athens and returned with the consul to confront the men who he said hit him. It took five further visits to the police station, an official complaint from the embassy to the chief of police and 10 days of waiting before the officers involved in Jung's case were named. Meanwhile the backpacker had published his story on a travellers' blog read by more than 60,000 people. The case turned into a full-scale diplomatic incident with the Korean ambassador to Greece requesting a meeting with the minister of Public Order, and the Greek Chief of Police, to insist on a fair investigation and just punishment for the officers involved. Jung, who is now on the last leg of his travels in the US, is still waiting for the police verdict but says that whatever the outcome he will never go back to Greece. \"I travelled through Azerbaijan, Mongolia, Kazakhstan and Armenia but I never felt in as much danger as in Athens,\" he says. \"Whenever people ask me if they should visit Greece I tell them to go to Turkey instead.\" Christian Ukwuorji, who also lodged an official complaint against the police with the help of the American Embassy, has now been waiting for more than six months for an outcome. He would like to see the men who hit him prosecuted, but says he holds out little hope of any justice. \"The police there are very corrupt and nothing will be done about it,\" he says. \"I have learned that this is how Greece is.\" You can follow the Magazine on Twitter and on Facebook",

Clooney, a Kentucky native, said he was \"ashamed\" by the decision to charge Brett Hankison, not with Ms Taylor's death, but with \"wanton endangerment\". Actors Viola Davis and Jeffrey Wright have also voiced their frustrations. Taylor's death on 13 March, along with those of George Floyd and others, has become a rallying cry for Black Lives Matter protesters around the world. There have been widespread calls for the three officers involved in her death, who are all white, to be charged with murder or manslaughter. On Wednesday it was announced that Mr Hankison would be charged on three counts of wanton endangerment for firing into a neighbour's apartment during the raid. No charges are to be brought against Jonathan Mattingly and Detective Myles Cosgrove, the other two officers involved. In a statement, Clooney said he had been \"born and raised\" in Kentucky and was brought up to know \"what is right and what is wrong\". He said he had \"cut tobacco on the farms of Kentucky\", owned a home in the state and knew its \"community\" and \"commonwealth\". \"The justice system I was raised to believe in holds people responsible for their actions,\" the former ER star continued. \"Her name was Breonna Taylor and she was shot to death in her bed by three white police officers, who will not be charged with any crime for her death.\" Fellow Oscar winner Davis tweeted her anger at the decision and Westworld star Wright called for a change in the law, while director Ava DuVernay voiced her support for Taylor's family. \"God bless Breonna's family and all who knew and loved her,\" tweeted the director of A Wrinkle in Time and When They See Us. \"Her tragic death compounded by the violence of silence and inaction by the city she called home is more than any of them should have to endure.\" Actress Mira Sorvino, meanwhile, took issue with her own Twitter followers after expressing her feelings about the case. \"I see I lost over 100 followers since my tweet about Breonna Taylor and how the justice system utterly failed her,\" she wrote. \"If that's why then I'm glad to see you go.\" What happened to Breonna Taylor? Breonna Taylor was an emergency medical technician who lived in Louisville, Kentucky. She and her boyfriend were at home in bed when police officers entered her apartment shortly after midnight on 13 March. The officers were acting under a so-called no-knock warrant, which authorised them to enter the home without warning. Ms Taylor's boyfriend, who has a gun licence, fired shots during the incident, saying later that he thought there were intruders in the home. Ms Taylor died after being shot six times by police. No drugs were found in the property. A legal case filed by Ms Taylor's family said the officers were not looking for her or her partner, but for an unrelated suspect who did not live in the complex and was already in custody.

The law change gives effect to a road safety agreement signed between the UK and Irish governments in 2015. Drivers banned in their home jurisdiction would not be able to drive in the other as they have no licence. The law change covers drivers banned for reckless or dangerous driving, hit-and-runs and driving while under the influence of drink or drugs. Penalty points Meanwhile, the Department for Infrastructure in Northern Ireland said officials on both sides of the border continue to work closely to implement the mutual recognition of penalty points for speeding, drink driving, not wearing seatbelts, and use of mobile phones. A plan to implement this was put on hold in February 2014. \"This is complex and ground-breaking work which will require primary legislation in both jurisdictions. Both jurisdictions remain committed to implementing the mutual recognition of penalty points,\" a spokesperson said. \"It would, however, be wrong to move to legislation until we have confirmed that the legislation will be workable and effective. \"The concept of mutually recognising penalty points is simple - but the practical out workings are very complex.\" Change welcomed Northern Ireland's chief inspector of criminal justice Brendan McGuigan welcomed the law change regarding driving disqualifications. \"I am delighted that from now on, those motorists found guilty in court in either jurisdiction will find their motoring bans do not disappear when they travel north or south, or east or west across the border,\" he said. \"Motorists who choose to drive recklessly, or in a manner which creates a danger and places other road users at risk, cannot be tolerated, and I fully support the introduction of this legislative change.\" Irish Transport Minister Shane Ross said it was an important road safety measure, targeting dangerous drivers. \"The new measures are underpinned by an international agreement between Ireland and the UK, which comes into effect today, and primary legislative provisions in Ireland and the UK, which have been commenced (on Tuesday),\" he said. \"Under the Ireland-UK agreement, the driving disqualification is, in effect, transferred by the state which imposes it to the licence of the offender's 'home' state. \"So, the legal consequence of the offence committed follows the offender home.\" The SDLP's infrastructure spokesperson Daniel McCrossan said: \"This legislation is a major step in tackling dangerous and careless drivers on this island.

There was added pressure on Tom to pass - demand for tests is so high he could have had to wait until the summer to retake it. \"This week I actually thrashed it with my driving instructor, we were out every day, three to four hours a day - I just wanted to pass to be honest,\" he says.

Samantha Burt, from Eastbourne, was told in early April that fraudsters had taken her credit card information. \"To wake up and find out I am more likely to be a target, because they have more information on me than other customers is a bit of a worry,\" the 28-year-old told Radio 5live's Wake Up To Money. \"I've been in complete limbo since 2 April.\" She said EasyJet's response had been \"really frustrating\", having waited on a dedicated phone line for an hour to get more information, but learning little. She took it on herself to contact her card provider and change all her passwords. That is the advice customers are receiving from EasyJet. Those whose card details have been taken are also being offered a 12-month membership to a credit file checking service to allow them to monitor any suspicious use of their identity. Ms Burt described it as a \"nuisance\" to have to constantly keep an eye on her file through no fault of her own. Fraudsters can use personal details to build up enough information to access accounts, take out loans in someone's name, make purchases, or sell on to other criminals. Another frustrated victim was Finlay Hamilton, from Kinross, whose debit card details were taken. \"I'm disappointed. As a massive travel company you expect your details to be safe,\" the 19-year-old said. \"I'd like to know that my bank account is safe to use, to know that for definite would be good.\" EasyJet said credit and debit card details had been compromised, and was saddened by these customers' views. \"Each of the customers whose credit card details were impacted were sent an email including a unique code through which they could access monitoring services provided by a third-party,\" the airline said. \"We also provided an external dedicated call centre who are experienced in advising consumers who have been impacted by data breaches. We are sorry to hear that one of our customers feels they did not get the support expected.\" Mr Hamilton hoped for some kind of compensation, but that is unlikely in these circumstances. Generally, victims of a cyber-attack are only entitled to be reimbursed for any financial losses they suffer as a result of their card being compromised. Blogger Helen Dewdney, who has written a book on how to complain, said it would be hard to prove any further distress or loss, but people could contact the company with any evidence, and ultimately take it to the financial ombudsman or small claims court if they were unhappy with the response. EasyJet said it had become aware of the \"highly sophisticated\" attack in late January, but was only now required by the authorities to inform all nine million of those affected about the breach. \"It took time to understand the scope of the attack and to identify who had been impacted,\" the airline told the BBC. It would not comment on speculation over the source of the hack. 'Reset passwords' Security experts said it was vital that customers were proactive in changing passwords and taking care over unsolicited emails claiming to be from EasyJet. \"Ensure that passwords are reset and are strong and unique. Only visit the EasyJet website directly, rather than through a link in an email, and ensure that it is verified using https,\" said Morten Ruud, from Norwegian app security company Promon. \"If users find that the password they had previously been using is one they use on multiple websites, ensure that all sites that use that same password are also changed.\"",

HS2 said it had to achieve a fair price for both homeowners and taxpayers. The £56bn high-speed rail line is designed to boost the UK's economy by cutting journey times between London and the Midlands and the north of England. The first passenger services are expected to operate between the capital and Birmingham in 2026, with phase two of the project to Manchester and Leeds earmarked for completion by 2034. Doubts about the future of the route have been raised, after Chief Secretary to the Treasury Liz Truss told the Spectator magazine the government would be looking again at the project in its next spending review. Homeowners who live in the path of the proposed route are entitled to compensation. Certain residents are able to sell their home to HS2 at the full \"unblighted\" market price but some have claimed HS2 has undervalued their homes. Tracy Stone, from Mexborough in South Yorkshire, lives on the Shimmer Estate, which made headlines when the route was announced because it was so newly-built residents had only just moved in when they learned their homes were at risk of demolition to make way for HS2. She recently sold her house to HS2 after being told the proposed route would go directly through the estate. \"Four days after I moved on to the Shimmer Estate I was told most of the new estate would have to be knocked down,\" she said. \"As we've tried to sell our homes, its felt like HS2 have tried to put obstacles in our way at every turn. \"They've been offering ridiculously low prices and the whole process just feels very unfair.\" The mother of two said she had recently settled on a valuation of £169,000 for her home, £5,000 less than the real market value she understands it holds. \"We were promised by the government and HS2 that they would look after people on this estate, but that hasn't happened,\" said Ms Stone. \"We've been let down and lied to.\" Figures published by HS2 in response to a freedom of information request from the campaign group Stop HS2, showed 902 residential properties, farms or pieces of land had been bought by the company between 2011 and 2018. The total cost of the acquisitions was nearly £600m. The figures also revealed homeowners in identical homes on the Shimmer estate had received significantly different levels of compensation for their properties. \"There are two properties on this estate, next to each other - one was bought for £153,000, the other £173,000,\" said Sean Gibbons, a local independent councillor. \"We've got lots of residents who were promised they would get the market rate for their homes and that just hasn't happened.\" But Richard Farr, a local surveyor with experience of working with HS2, said it was common for similar houses to receive different valuations. \"A valuation has to take into account the amount of money spent on the home, and its internal fixtures and fittings. It's not just a value of the bricks and mortar of a property,\" said Mr Farr. A spokeswoman for HS2 said: \"We are committed to supporting homeowners on the Shimmer Estate, and have reached agreement on values for over 75% of cases where the homeowner has applied to sell their property through our property support schemes. \"Every home is unique and there will often be different opinions about the value of a property. We have a responsibility to establish a price that is fair both for homeowners and the taxpayer.\" A spokeswoman for the Department for Transport said: \"HS2 Ltd must work closely and constructively with those impacted by the project - this ensures a sensible balance is struck between fair compensation for affected residents and protecting the public purse. \"Where property is needed to deliver this vital project, HS2 Ltd are bound by strict compensation rules and guidelines and we expect them to pay a fair, market price for properties.\"",

            "input": "Lawyers challenged the reforms, which cut the number of contracts for duty solicitor work in magistrates' courts and police stations from 1,600 to 525. And Mr Justice Burnett ruled the consultation process had failed to let lawyers comment on two reports and was \"unfair as to result in illegality\". Ministers said they would consider the ruling but cost-cutting would continue. There are currently about 1,600 solicitor firms doing duty solicitor work in magistrates' courts and police stations, and in February the government announced plans to cut this to 525. The judge told Lord Chancellor and Justice Secretary Chris Grayling to scrap the plan and run the consultation again. 'Railroaded' BBC legal correspondent Clive Coleman said the decision was a \"blow\" for Mr Grayling and a \"significant victory\" for the two groups which brought the judicial review challenge - the London Criminal Courts Solicitors' Association and the Criminal Law Solicitors' Association. \"They had long argued that the cuts are ideologically driven and would push the courts and justice system to breaking point,\" he said. London Criminal Courts Solicitors' Association president Nicola Hill said: \"This is a great day for justice. \"It shows that no-one, not even… Mr Grayling is above the rule of law.\" She said the reforms were being \"sold in the name of austerity\" and were being \"railroaded through by a justice secretary determined to push through an ideology\". She added: \"The cuts have been nothing short of an assault on justice - compromising fair representation for people accused of a crime in police stations and courts.\" Mr Grayling has faced vehement opposition to legal aid reform from lawyers, including strikes and protests outside Parliament. 'Generous system' The solicitors' groups also objected to cuts in criminal aid legal fees - an 8.75% cut already in force and a further 8.75% due to take effect in spring 2015. The judge rejected this aspect of the legal challenge, saying the groups had not established a \"sufficient connection between the flaws identified in the consultation process and the decision to reduce fees\". \"The claimants failed in their challenge to the fee cut,\" a Ministry of Justice spokeswoman said. \"However, the judgement has raised some technical issues about the consultation process, which we are carefully considering.\" She said the government would \"continue to implement reform of the criminal legal aid system\" to ensure it was \"sustainable\". \"Even after reform we would still have a very generous system at around £1.5bn a year,\" she added.",

Both fired on officers who raided a flat in Brussels in 2016. Abdeslam is being held in a jail in France and is due to face trial there over the Paris attacks themselves. He had refused to answer questions from the judge in the trial in Brussels, and eventually refused to attend the hearings. Neither he nor Ayari, a 24-year-old Tunisian national, was in court as the verdict was read out on Monday. Both received the maximum 20-year term requested by prosecutors. The judge, Marie France Keutgen, said that \"there can be no doubt\" about the two men's involvement with \"radicalism\". She added: \"Their intention is clear from the nature of the weapons they used, the number of bullets they fired and the nature of the police officers' wounds. Only the officers' professional response prevented it being worse.\" Why was there a shoot-out? On 15 March 2016, Belgian police hunting Abdeslam carried out a raid in the Forest area of Brussels. They targeted a flat believing that the suspect - who by then had been on the run for four months - had been there. When they moved in they exchanged fire with the three occupants. One of the three was killed and three officers were wounded. Abdeslam and Ayari managed to escape, but Abdeslam's fingerprints were found in the flat, confirming his presence there. He was picked up days later in a raid in the nearby Molenbeek area, and later transferred to France. What do we know about Abdeslam? He is a French national who was born in Brussels to French-Moroccan parents. He was involved in petty crime in Belgium as a youth, and is believed to have become radicalised along with his brother Salim around 2014. Both then reportedly joined a French-Belgian network linked with the Islamic State group (IS), which later claimed the Paris attacks. The network was involved in both the Paris attacks and bombings that struck the Brussels metro and airport on 22 March 2016, just days after Abdeslam's arrest, killing 32 people. In Monday's ruling, the court denied a request by victims from those attacks that they be regarded as a civil party to the case, saying no link had been established with Abdeslam and Ayari. How has Abdeslam been linked to the Paris attacks? He is believed to have played a key role on 13 November 2015 - when militants targeted a concert hall, stadium, restaurants and bars, killing 130 people and injuring hundreds more. French prosecutors believe Abdeslam helped the jihadists by hiring cars, flats and hotel rooms - although his role in the actual shootings and bombings is unclear. His brother Salim was among the attackers and blew himself up outside a cafe. Salah Abdeslam and two associates drove from Paris to Brussels the next day. They were stopped by police at a border checkpoint, but were allowed to travel as Abdeslam had not yet been identified as a suspect. French and Belgian authorities released Abdeslam's photo and name a day later - by which time he was Europe's most wanted man. Several flats were raided by Belgian police over the next few months. He and Ayari were finally picked up in the Molenbeek raid on 18 March 2016.",

            "input": "A US jury ordered Samsung to pay Apple over $1bn (£664m) on Friday after ruling it had infringed several of the iPhone maker's software and design innovations. Samsung said it intended to appeal. There has been speculation that the news could encourage handset makers to install the rival Windows Phone system. Google released its statement late on Sunday in the US. \"The court of appeals will review both infringement and the validity of the patent claims,\" it said. \"Most of these don't relate to the core Android operating system, and several are being re-examined by the US Patent Office. \"The mobile industry is moving fast and all players - including newcomers - are building upon ideas that have been around for decades. We continue to work with our partners to give consumers innovative and affordable products, and we don't want anything to limit that.\" Apple v Android Apple has indicated it will seek sales bans on eight of the phones at the heart of the lawsuit at a hearing on 20 September. The models include the Galaxy S 4G, Galaxy S2 AT&T model, Galaxy S2 Skyrocket, Galaxy S2 T-Mobile model, Galaxy S2 Epic 4G, Galaxy S Showcase, Droid Charge and Galaxy Prevail. The list does not include Samsung's current flagship handset, the Galaxy S3, which was not involved in the case. However, Apple could now also try to use the verdict to try to halt sales of other Android-based models it believes infringe its patents. There has been speculation this could work to Microsoft's advantage. During the patents court case Apple revealed it had licensed some of its technologies to Microsoft. Its lawyers also showed pictures of Nokia's Lumia - which runs Windows Phone 7 - as an example of a handset that looked distinctive from its own. In contrast, Apple continues to be involved in lawsuits against two other Android-handset makers: Motorola - which is owned by Google - and HTC. Microsoft's opportunity Following the Samsung verdict, Bill Cox, marketing director for Microsoft's Windows Phone Division tweeted: \"Windows Phone is looking gooooood right now.\" Dell, HTC, Samsung, LG and ZTE have already created Windows Phone 7 devices, but only Nokia has concentrated its efforts on the system. One analyst said that the US ruling presented Microsoft with an opportunity to convince others to put their weight behind the next version of its mobile system. \"I think this will force a reset on Android products as they are re-engineered to get around Apple's patents,\" said Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the tech consultancy Enderle Group. \"[It should also] provide a stronger opportunity for both of Microsoft's new platforms - Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8 - because they come with indemnification against Apple, suddenly making them far safer.\" However, manufacturers will have to weigh up Android's popularity before making a move. Cross-licensing According to recent data from analysts at IDC, Android had a 68.1% of the global smartphone market between April and June. Apple's iOS had 16.9% and Windows Phone/Windows Mobile had 5.4%. The data was based on shipments rather than sales. In case Apple's patents hold up under appeal, Google could recode Android to ensure there was no potential infringement, or handset makers could seek to pay their rival a licence fee. And there is another alternative: Apple could ultimately seek a patent cross-licensing deal with Google despite its late chief executive Steve Jobs' vow to \"destroy Android\". Part-way through the Samsung case, Google filed its first lawsuit versus Apple since taking over Motorola. It alleged seven patent infringements, one of which involves the technology used in the iPhone's Siri voice-activated search tool. Were Google to succeed it could call for a import ban on Apple's iOS products, potentially forcing its rival into a deal. The case is driving share prices in related technology stocks. Samsung's shares fell 7.5% in Seoul on Monday - their biggest drop since October 2008, wiping about $12bn off the companies value. Nokia's shares closed 7.7% higher on the Helsinki Stock Exchange. In New York, Apple's stock rose 1.88% to $675.68, Microsoft's about 0.4% up and Google's was down by 1.4%.",

Students wrote an open letter saying the move would \"show solidarity in the rejection of Black oppression\". The university said it will work with students and staff \"to agree an appropriate alternative name\". Students have been campaigning over the issue for several years, arguing that the university should not be honouring people who benefited from slavery. The move follows Black Lives Matter protests in the city in response to the death of American George Floyd and the tearing down of a statue of slave trader Edward Colston in Bristol. Thousands of people have also been demanding a statue of imperialist Cecil Rhodes be removed from Oxford University's Oriel College. 'Compensated for slaves' Liberal politician William Ewart Gladstone was born in Liverpool in 1809 and is the only person to have been prime minister on four separate occasions. He is described as having \"ultra-conservative\" views and used his maiden speech in the House of Commons to support his father's interests, arguing against abolition. While that argument failed, his finances did not - when slavery was abolished in the 1830s, the Gladstones received more than £90,000, about £9.5m in today's terms, as compensation for the slaves they were forced to free. In an open letter to university vice chancellor Professor Janet Beer, student campaigners urged the university to \"qualify your words\" about combating racism on campus \"with some real action\". The letter said Liverpool is \"entrenched in the history of Black oppression\" with buildings \"built with bricks that were bartered for by slaves\". It said Gladstone \"used his position to defend the interest of those who, like his father, owned West Indian slave-ran plantations.\" 'Shame' \"Whilst we cannot possibly expect that the entire architecture of Liverpool is torn down and replaced, renaming Gladstone Hall and removing this reminder of William Gladstone is one small and simple act that the university can enact to show solidarity in the rejection of Black oppression. \"We can not facilitate normalising people like William Gladstone by naming our campus after them.\" A University of Liverpool spokeswoman said: \"We share in the shame that our city feels because its prosperity was significantly based upon a slave economy.\" She said the institution has \"an important opportunity to send a clear message about the commitments we have made to our Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic staff and student community\" and \"will work with the Guild of Students and with staff and student groups to agree an appropriate alternative name for the hall.\" William Gladstone (1809-1898)",

On his Twitter account, Andy Tohill confirmed the news, posting: \"It's gonna be some journey!\" The brothers directed their first feature film in Northern Ireland, The Dig, in 2017. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre was made in 1974 and has become one of the most influential horror films of all time. It tells the story of a group of friends who wander into the home of a family of cannibals. Its most famous character was the chainsaw wielding killer, Leatherface. It was originally banned in the UK by the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) who refused to issue it with an X certificate in 1975. It was released on video in 1981, but did not receive a formal 18 certificate for cinema release in the UK until 1999, 25 years after it was made. However, it is now recognised by critics as one of the greatest horror films ever. It also led to a number of sequels but, according to the movie magazine Variety, the Tohills version will be a \"reboot\" of the film although exact plot details have not been revealed. Ulster western Andy and Ryan Tohill have worked in the TV and film industry in Northern Ireland for a number of years. Andy is a film studies graduate from Queen's University, while Ryan has a visual arts degree from Ulster University. The Dig was awarded the title of Best Film at the 2018 Galway Film Fleadh and was also shown at the Toronto International Film Festival. Described by some critics as an \"Ulster western\", it told the story of a convicted murderer forced to help search for his victim's body. It was shot in the countryside around Ballymena. The Guardian called it a \"tense thriller\", while the Irish Times called it \"a classic western movie set on an Irish bog.\" The Dig was developed through Northern Ireland Screen's New Talent Focus scheme which aims to deliver a debut feature by a Northern Irish writing, directing and producing team each year. NI Screen provides development funding and production funding of up to £226,000 towards films in the scheme. Other films funded through the New Talent scheme include A Bump Along the Way, which premiered in 2019, A Bad Day for the Cut and The Survivalist.",

Prince Charles spoke of the compassion shown by people in the area after Lord Mountbatten was killed. \"Their loving kindness has done much to aid the healing process,\" he told a civic reception. 'Deep loss' The prince will visit the scene of the IRA explosion on the second day of his four-day visit to the island of Ireland, north and south. The IRA detonated a bomb on a fishing boat at Mullaghmore on 27 August 1979, killing Lord Mountbatten, his 14-year-old grandson, Nicholas Knatchbull, and 15-year-old Paul Maxwell. The Dowager Lady Brabourne died the day after the attack. On the same day, 18 British soldiers were killed as two booby-trap bombs exploded beside Narrow Water Castle, near Warrenpoint in County Down. Speaking ahead of his visit to Mullaghmore, the prince told a civic reception in Sligo: \"At the time I could not imagine how we could come to terms with the anguish of such a deep loss, since for me Lord Mountbatten represented the grandfather I never had. \"It seemed as if the foundations of all that we held dear in life had been torn apart irreparably. \"Through this experience, I now understand in a profound way the agonies borne by so many others in these islands, of whatever faith, denomination or political tradition.\" Who was Lord Mountbatten? Louis Mountbatten, Earl Mountbatten of Burma, has been described as uncle and godfather to the Prince of Wales. In fact he was neither. Lord Mountbatten was Prince Charles's great-uncle, through his father. He was also second cousin once removed to the Queen. His mother was one of the prince's godparents. As well as his close links to the Royal Family, Lord Mountbatten was a British statesman. He served as the last Viceroy of India and was appointed as the First Sea Lord and Chief of the Defence Staff. He would spend his summers at Classiebawn castle, overlooking Mullaghmore in County Sligo, a family house of his wife Edwina. Lord Mountbatten: life and death. The prince said the island of Ireland had \"more than its fair share of turbulence and troubles\", and \"those directly affected don't easily forget the pain\". \"Recent years have shown us though that healing is possible, even when the heartache continues,\" he said. Prince Charles spoke of the importance of reconciliation. \"I'm only too deeply aware of the long history of suffering which Ireland has endured, not just in recent decades but over the course of its history,\" he said. \"It is a history which I know has caused much pain and much resentment, in a world of imperfect human beings, where it is always too easy to overgeneralise and to attribute blame. \"At the end of the day however, we should never forget that our acquaintance has been long, and we can turn that knowing into something new and creative. \"We need no longer be victims of our difficult history with each other.\" During his visit to Mullaghmore, Prince Charles is expected to meet the mother of Paul Maxwell from Enniskillen, County Fermanagh, who had been working on Lord Mountbatten's fishing vessel. Mary Hornsey said the royal visit was \"extending the hand of forgiveness\". Ms Hornsey has not returned to the scene of her son's death since saying \"goodbye\" to Mullaghmore in 1979 but has decided to accept an invitation to meet Prince Charles on Wednesday. \"I think it is going to be very emotional for me, but I know it has to be done,\" she told BBC Radio Ulster. \"It is going to be a time of reconciliation and I hope that good will come of it.\" 'Making a statement' Ms Hornsey said she felt she had \"some kind of bond\" with the prince as they had both lost loved ones in the same attack. \"I feel that he is making a statement in coming,\" she said. \"He is extending the hand of friendship and forgiveness, and I think that is very important. Every little step counts, and when we get more steps it will be even better.\" Recalling her son's murder, Ms Hornsey said it was a \"beautiful summer morning\" and she and her husband were sitting outside their holiday cottage when the bomb exploded. \"Suddenly there was this almighty bang. I've never heard anything quite like it in my life, and I knew immediately Paul was dead,\" Ms Hornsey said. \"My husband at the time said: 'Don't be so silly' and he decided to go down to the harbour. He thought perhaps there might have been a gas leak at the castle or something like that. He went down and of course, that great tragedy unfolded.\" 'Awful price' She added: \"Just knowing he would never be here again - that was awful, so hard.\" Ms Hornsey said she constantly thinks about her lost son, the type of man he would have become and how he would have looked after her as she got older. \"I do think that I have become a stronger person because of the awful tragedy, but I have paid an awful price for that,\" she added. The prince's visit to Mullaghmore comes a day after he shook hands with the Sinn Féin president Gerry Adams in Galway. 'Significance' Ms Hornsey described the prince's meeting with Mr Adams as \"a very good thing\". General Sir Mike Jackson served with the Parachute Regiment, of which Prince Charles is Colonel-in-Chief. \"It would be hard I think to overstate the significance of such a meeting,\" he said. \"I listened very carefully to Prince Charles' words and they were very moving. And we should remember also it follows on from the Queen's extraordinary state visit to the Republic [of Ireland].\" When asked on BBC's Talkback programme would he be prepared to follow the example of the Prime Minister David Cameron who apologised in parliament for the actions of British paratroopers on Bloody Sunday, Mr Jackson said although he associated himself with what Mr Cameron had said, he said he would fall short of using the word sorry himself. Tragedies Fourteen civilians died in 1972 after paratroopers opened fire on crowds during a civil rights demonstration. Sir Mike said there had been tragedies experienced by both sides during Northern Ireland's Troubles and singled out the killing of 18 British soldiers when two booby-trap bombs exploded beside Narrow Water Castle, near Warrenpoint in County Down. The attack happened on the same day as the killing of Lord Mountbatten in Mullaghmore. Speaking after his handshake with Prince Charles, the Sinn Féin leader Gerry Adams said it was \"obviously was a big thing for him to do and a big thing for us to do\". After their private meeting, Mr Adams said Prince Charles felt able to empathise with other people who had suffered during the 40 years of violence on the island of Ireland. \"I think it was good that he's come here and I think it's good that he has come to Mullaghmore, and I think it's good that we met,\" he said. On the second day of the royal couple's visit to the island of Ireland, they have also been attending a service of peace and reconciliation at St Columba's Church in Drumcliffe, where they visited the grave of Irish poet WB Yeats. Among a choir of secondary school students performing at the ceremony was Bethany McLoughlin, whose grandfather Gerard McKinney was one of 13 people killed by paratroopers in Londonderry during a civil rights march on Bloody Sunday in January 1972. The 17-year-old Ursuline Convent pupil was chosen by coincidence to join singers from local schools. Her father Gerard McLoughlin said he believed it was an opportunity for further reconciliation. After the service, Prince Charles planted a tree at the church in memory of Lord Mountbatten. The prince and the duchess will end the second day of their visit with some horseracing at the Sligo Races.",

The clearly relieved minister was caught on camera saying: \"Oh, oh dear! Are you all right? Health and safety! \"Are you OK?

But it was discontinued during the 1950s, leaving walkers and cyclists facing an 18 mile (29km) round trip up the estuary. On Thursday, the plans were submitted to the Coastal Communities Fund for a purpose-built boat which could be plying the route again within two years. The idea is the brainchild of retired Liverpool University professor Kenton Morgan. He said: \"It's known there are 400,000 annual visitors to Cefn Sidan beach just along the coast, and tens of thousands of visitors to Llansteffan Castle, Ferryside Castle and Laugharne, with its Dylan Thomas links. \"If the plan is approved, the ferry itself will become a tourist attraction.\" As the name suggests, the settlement of Ferryside developed around the landing stage of a ferry across the Tywi estuary which may have pre-dated the Norman Conquest. It is mentioned as early as 1170 when it was granted to the Knights Hospitaller at Slebech Commandery, and was crossed by Gerald of Wales two decades later. However, with the second-highest tidal range in the UK, crossing the estuary is not without its difficulties. A conventional boat would require a 820ft (250 metre)-long jetty, owing to the slope of the beach. To overcome this the group behind the scheme has chosen an amphibious craft, using technology developed by a New Zealand company. The ferry would be fitted with retractable wheels like an aircraft, which would avoid the need for a jetty. If successful, the boat would be built in Solva in Pembrokeshire. Two public meetings have been held and backing has been secured from both the community and county councils. An initial outline of the plan has been submitted to the Coastal Communities Fund and the next stage will be to submit a full proposal and business plan.",

Mr Rees-Mogg said he wanted to help instructors \"return to life that is as close to normal as possible, as quickly and fairly as possible\". There will be a \"phased approach to resuming practical testing\", he added. Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland will set their own rules for the return of driving lessons and tests. When asked what advice will be given to instructors on resuming work safely, the DVSA told the BBC that \"more details will be provided in due course\". Speaking at Business Questions in the Commons, Mr Rees-Mogg said: \"From the 4 July I am happy to say that people will be able to take driving lessons on a motorcycle, or in a car, lorry or bus and there will be a phased approach to resuming practical testing so learners have the opportunity to practice before taking a test.\" He added the industry should return \"in a way that avoids a second peak in infections\". Transport Secretary Grant Shapps later added: \"Driving lessons and tests are vital in helping people get to work and visit loved ones, and provide the skills for a lifetime of safe driving. \"As the country recovers from Covid-19, we can now open up our services to help get the country moving again.\" How will driving lessons work with social distancing? AA Driving School, which also runs the British School of Motoring, said it was advising instructors that they should \"thoroughly\" clean vehicles before and after each lesson, \"paying particular attention to areas of the car that are touch points, such as door handles.\" Other measures for instructors include: Pupils will also be asked to wash their hands before each lesson and wear a face covering. The AA said it considered the use of plastic screens, like in taxis, but said it was \"imperative\" that instructors could reach the steering wheel in an emergency, which was not possible with a screen. Sarah Rees, managing director of AA Driving School, said the decision was a \"welcome relief for the thousands of people in England\" wanting to learn to drive, and the beginning of the end of \"an incredibly challenging time\" for instructors. She added, however, that instructors in other parts of the UK - where a return date was yet to be set - were \"being left in limbo\". 'Long overdue' Graham Quail, 52, owner of Quail's School of Motoring in Wirral, said the move was \"fantastic news\" and \"long overdue\", adding that the lockdown period had been \"hard\" for staff. The driving school, which employs 17 instructors providing lessons in Wirral and the surrounding areas including North Wales and Liverpool, was effectively forced to close during lockdown - bar teaching a few key worker students who needed to take a test for their jobs. Mr Quail said the school has had systems to curb the spread of coronavirus in place \"since before lockdown\" - such as cleaning vehicles before and after lessons, and providing face masks and gloves for instructors and students. But it is now \"eagerly awaiting\" official guidance from the DVLA for resuming lessons. \"We're looking forward to restarting,\" said Mr Quail. \"We're going to make sure that all our students are kept safe and hopefully get people driving again.\" He added that resuming lessons would also help those looking for work amid the coronavirus crisis. \"A lot of our students come to us because it's necessary for a job so I hope it will help kickstart this for them,\" he said. Driving lessons and tests have been suspended since March. However, there have been exceptions, with some key workers being offered both lessons and the opportunity to apply to the DVSA for an emergency test.",

Dr Walsh and his colleagues are studying the samples of centrifuged fecal matter - contained in tiny tubes - in an effort to diagnose and combat the diseases that are threatening our closest and most endangered primate relatives. One of these diseases is said to be the most frightening on Earth: the Ebola virus. Ebola has no known cure, is fatal in 90% of cases and is characterised by bleeding, internally and externally. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), more than 300 people have now died in the most recent outbreak of the virus in West Africa. And, amid this crisis, the same disease is wiping out chimpanzees and gorillas. \"In the last 30 years, [it] has killed about a third of the world's gorillas, and thousands of chimps,\" says Dr Walsh. \"If we don't do something about this now, these animals are going to go extinct in the wild.\" And for Dr Walsh, the solution is straightforward: vaccination. He and his colleagues recently completed the first conservation vaccination trial for chimpanzees - testing an experimental Ebola vaccine on a group of chimps at a primate centre in the US - the last developed country where biomedical testing on captive apes is permitted by law. But the US National Institutes of Health (NIH), after a detailed consultation on the costs and benefits to public health, has made the decision to retire all but 50 of its research chimpanzees to sanctuaries. \"The vaccine trial that we just did might be the last conservation trial on a chimp, because if those labs close down there isn't anywhere else that has the proper facilities to do a vaccine trial,\" Dr Walsh tells BBC News. \"I would advocate keeping one place that has the capacity to do controlled vaccines trials. \" But, Beatrice Hahn, professor of medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, who was on the independent expert advisory panel that recommended the NIH chimps be retired, says there is no need to keep primate centres open to carry out vaccine trials. \"You have to understand that the NIH mission is to improve human health, not chimp health or cat health or dog health,\" she explains. \"And there may be a better solution to this. One should look to the sanctuaries to potentially do such [conservation] research.\" Unlike the NIH, sanctuaries keep chimps for the benefit of the animals. Prof Hahn says that many of them are well equipped and may well be interested in carrying out some of this research. This, however, would require a change in US law. The Chimp Act, established in the year 2000, states that no chimpanzee in a federal sanctuaries can participate in invasive research. So an animal cannot be injected or have its blood drawn unless it's for its own veterinary care. But when that law was passed, Prof Hahn points out, it was to prevent sanctuaries from allowing their animals to be used as \"furry test tubes\" for human medical research. The need for therapies for the conservation of wild apes, she says, changes the legal landscape. \"What also changes the landscape is the increasing endangerment of wild populations. If chimps and gorillas out there in the forest were not endangered, we wouldn't even be talking about it.\" Other primate experts are cautious about carrying out research on captive apes. Steve Ross is the director for the Lester Fisher Center for the conservation of apes at Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago. He says the challenges of getting vaccines to wild populations in extremely remote areas might never be overcome. And this issue, he adds, is far more complex than just comparing what's worth more: the welfare of captive animals or the survival of apes in the wild. \"It's a little bit similar to a situation we had in the US 30 years ago where hundreds of chimps were bred up for the study of HIV, but it turned out that chimps were not a good model for that disease,\" he says. \"If you develop a captive population, test your vaccine and the result is a vaccine that cannot be administered to wild populations and therefore doesn't save a single chimpanzee, we'll have done a tremendous disservice to chimpanzees as a whole.\" Catching a cold Ebola is only one of the infections threatening wild ape populations. Ironically, some of the conservation tourism programmes that have done so much to raise awareness and money to conserve wild apes are bringing humans close enough to their non-human cousins to pass on infections to which gorillas and chimps have no immunity. For gorillas exposed to these tourists on a regular basis, human respiratory viruses, including measles, are a major cause of death. And, just like the thousands of adults and children still dying from measles on the African continent, Dr Walsh says these animals could be vaccinated. \"Measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine is available from the Centers for Disease Control in the US for $6 a dose,\" he tells BBC News. \"That means you could take every mountain gorilla in existence, and vaccinate every single one for less than $5,000. \"To hire all the personnel to do it might cost $20,000. And it gives long-term immunity, so you might need to do that every 10-20 years.\" Anti-poaching budgets for a park - often involving armed personnel as well as security measures - can run into the hundreds of thousands of US dollars every year. \"So as a cost, it's tiny,\" says Dr Walsh. \"This is the low-hanging fruit, and it gets me so angry to think that chimps and gorillas are dying for silly reasons.\" The discussion about if and how to involve captive chimpanzees in the development of vaccines to protect their wild cousins is just beginning. And passions run high. Something the experts agree on is that disease is a significant threat. And combined with the destruction of habitat and the continuing threat of poaching, time for wild apes is running out. Follow Victoriaon Twitter",

            "input": "That is the conclusion of work by a UK-Ethiopian team published in the academic journal Plos One. It supports predictions that a changing climate could damage global production of coffee - the world's second most traded commodity after oil. Wild Arabica is important for the sustainability of the coffee industry because of its genetic diversity. Arabica coffee and Robusta coffee are the two main species used commercially, although the former provides about 70% of production. The Arabica crops grown in the world's coffee plantations are from very limited genetic stock and are thought to lack the flexibility to cope with climate change and other threats such as pests and diseases. The researchers from the Royal Botanic Gardens in Kew, UK, and the Environment and Coffee Forest Forum (ECFF) in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, examined the future distribution of wild Arabica using climate modelling. They looked at how wild Arabica might be affected under three different carbon emission scenarios and over three time intervals (2020, 2050 and 2080). When the researchers looked at what would happen in the locations where Arabica was currently grown, the best-case outcome was a 65% reduction in suitable sites by 2080. The worst-case outcome was a 99.7% reduction by 2080. A different analytical approach yielded a 38% reduction as the most favourable outcome and a 90% reduction as the least favourable by 2080. Cause for concern Aaron Davis, head of coffee research at the Royal Botanic Gardens, said: \"The extinction of Arabica coffee is a startling and worrying prospect. However, the objective of the study was not to provide scaremonger predictions for the demise of Arabica in the wild. \"The scale of the predictions is certainly cause for concern, but should be seen more as a baseline, from which we can more fully assess what actions are required.\" The researchers said the results should be regarded as \"conservative\", because the modelling does not factor in the large-scale deforestation that has occurred in the highland forests of Ethiopia and South Sudan (the natural home of Arabica coffee). Moreover, because of the lack of suitable data, the models assumed intact natural vegetation, whereas the highland forests of Ethiopia and South Sudan are highly fragmented due to deforestation. Ethiopia remains a big producer of the Arabica variety, but Brazil and Colombia are now the two largest countries for commercial Arabica growing. Other factors, such as pests and diseases, changes in flowering times, and shifting bird numbers (which disperse the coffee seeds), were also not included in the modelling. Co-author Tadesse Woldemariam Gole, from the ECFF said: \"As part of a future-proofing exercise for the long-term sustainability of Arabica production it is essential that the reserves established in Ethiopia to conserve Arabica genetic resources are appropriately funded and carefully managed.\"",

The Liberal Democrat peer and patron of the Windrush Foundation said that she felt \"joy\", adding: \"I was floating, like a bird, free.\" Prime Minister Theresa May, Home Secretary Sajid Javid and London Mayor Sadiq Khan attended the service, along with shadow home secretary Diane Abbott. Among the guests was Baroness Doreen Lawrence, mother of murdered black teenager Stephen. At the scene By Helena Lee, BBC News Under the warm June sun the guests, more than 2,000 of them, queued outside the abbey ahead of the service. They shared stories with each other. They wanted to celebrate. Many of them were families of the Windrush generation. Karen Gibson's mother came to Britain from Guyana in 1962. She said her mother heard stories of \"gold on the streets\" of the UK. There was a heart-warming moment too. A handshake between two men, in their nineties, who unknown to each other, had both been on the Empire Windrush ship 70 years ago. At the service, a short drama telling the story of how Caribbean migrants were invited to \"The Motherland\" to help rebuild post-war Britain was performed by actors. Addressing the congregation, the Reverend Canon Joel Edwards said: \"Settling down hasn't been plain sailing. \"The children of Windrush have experienced over-representation in Britain's prisons and mental health institutions. Knife crimes. \"Underachievement in education and the job market. Settlement has meant racism, sometimes too much policing and not enough protection. And Stephen Lawrence.\" But he added: \"Windrush resilience arises, supremely.\" He described the Windrush as having \"gifted\" Britain with leaders in the worlds of politics, business, education, music and sport and acknowledged the influence of the Caribbean on British cuisine, including \"rice and peas, jerk chicken and Levi Roots sauce in our supermarkets\". Mr Edwards also referenced the scandal that has seen some Windrush members wrongly face deportation. He said: \"In recent months the word 'Windrush' has evoked a great deal of emotion and even anger across our political landscape. In this service of thanksgiving, Windrush means more than migration.\" The service included the first performance of a specially composed anthem entitled Psalm To Windrush: For The Brave And Ingenious. The Very Rev John Hall, Dean of Westminster, wore a robe decorated with a photo montage of aspects of black history in Britain since the arrival of Windrush. John Richards, 92, who came to Britain on the Windrush aged 21, said the service was \"great\". \"It brings back memories, yes, but I'm too old for the emotion,\" he said. Alford Gardner, a member of the Windrush generation, has lived in Leeds most of his life, but said that was not his intention when he arrived. The 92-year-old said: \"The plan was to come to England, get a good job, work for about five years, go back... but it wasn't to be. \"Within five years I had started a family and married. I had bought me house, working hard and settled down.\" Mr Khan said it was a \"moving\" service in honour of a generation that \"contributes so much to our capital\". But Glenda Ceasar, who was born in Dominica in the 1960s, said she never got a British passport and lost her job recently because she could not prove her legal status. She said: \"So many years down the line... we're faced with this. \"The ship to me, the Windrush, it seems as if it was... we were just slaves being brought over here to be punished later on in life. That's the way that I feel.\" Nearly 500 Caribbean migrants from countries including Jamaica, Bermuda and Trinidad exited the Windrush on 22 June 1948 when it docked at Tilbury in Essex. They had applied to job adverts after World War II with the hope of finding long-term employment in the UK, having gained a type of citizenship under the British Nationality Act of 1948. The Westminster Abbey service commemorates the contribution the migrants and their families have made to the UK. Meanwhile, a celebration of Caribbean culture marked the anniversary at Tilbury Docks. The government has also announced Baroness Benjamin is to lead a commemoration committee overseeing the creation of a \"fitting legacy\" to the Windrush generation. A statue celebrating their achievements is among the ideas for the permanent tribute. Baroness Benjamin, a former children's television presenter and Lib Dem peer, was born in Trinidad but emigrated to the UK with her family in 1960. She said: \"This a significant step in recognising the contribution made to Britain by Caribbean people and this committee will make sure the work and sacrifices of the Windrush pioneers will live on in the hearts and minds of future generations.\" The right to remain in the UK for Commonwealth migrants who arrived before 1973 was supposed to be legally guaranteed. But it emerged this year that some migrants from the Windrush generation - many of them who arrived as children - had faced deportation. They were being refused healthcare and access to jobs because they did not have the paperwork to prove their status following a tightening of immigration rules in 2014. The government has since apologised for the crisis and says a dedicated taskforce has now provided documentation to over 2,000 people demonstrating their right to live in the UK. Earlier this week, the government announced an annual Windrush Day would take place.",

            "input": "By Jennifer ScottBBC News But while many backbenchers delivered bouquets, there was still a chance for some brickbats during Theresa May's final outing at the dispatch box - which came to a record breaking 63 minutes. The headline act was the head-to-head between her and Jeremy Corbyn. The Labour leader did begin by paying tribute to the outgoing prime minister's \"sense of public duty\", saying that public service should \"always be recognised\", along with the \"huge responsibility and pressure\" it places on loved ones. But the niceties did not last long, as he listed services that he said had declined during her time as leader - including an increase in child poverty, higher use of food banks and a decrease in police numbers. Mrs May responded, saying she \"measured her record in the opportunity of every child who is now in a better school, in the comfort of every person who now has a job for the first time in their life, in the hope of every disadvantaged young person now able to go to university and it is in the joy of every couple who can now move into their own home\". The pair had a brief moment of agreement, when discussing how politics was about \"real life\" and the decisions that \"affected the lives of people up and down this country\", rather than arguments in the Commons. But soon the leaders returned to contentious subjects. In an exchange on Brexit, it felt like a re-run of the past few months, but then - a slight change of tack. Mr Corbyn then welcomed a number of policies brought in by Mrs May's government, including rules on fixed odds betting terminals and the children's funeral fund - a legacy Mrs May said she was \"proud\" of. But the leader of the opposition pointed out they had all been pledges made by his party - not hers. There was still time for Mrs May to get her own back though. She began by making a point in a conciliatory tone, saying while they had their different approaches to politics, \"what I think we both have in common is a commitment to our constituencies\". But Mrs May concluded their last exchange with: \"As a party leader who has accepted when her time was up, perhaps the time is now for him to do the same.\" Successor's views From question one, the outgoing Conservative leader faced a barrage of questions - and insults - about her successor, Boris Johnson. Mr Corbyn questioned his lack of \"mandate\"; the leader of the SNP in Westminster, Ian Blackford, referred to him as \"flagrant\", and Labour MP Kevin Brennan called him a \"saboteur\" of the government. Labour's Ruth Cadbury asked Mrs May how she felt about \"handing over to a man who, among many things, is happy to demonise Muslims, is prepared to check our loyal public servants and diplomats under a bus, and promises to sell our country out to Donald Trump and his friends?\" The PM said she believed Mr Johnson would offer the country \"a bright future\" and she was \"pleased\" to hand over to him. She did not leap on the opportunity provided by Tory backbencher Keith Simpson to give \"one real hard piece of advice... on being prime minister\" to Mr Johnson, except recommending her colleague's summer reading list. But she did join him in his praise for MPs' husbands, wives and partners, which he called the \"unsung heroes\". Mrs May added: \"I am very pleased to be able to see my husband in the gallery today.\" Thanks and praise MPs from across the House took the more traditional route of thanking her for issues she had focused her efforts on while in No 10. Conservative former minister Patrick McLoughlin said Mrs May had \"got the economy on a sound footing\". Labour's Vernon Coaker praised the \"phenomenal work\" she had done on tackling modern slavery. And Tory Helen Grant said she had been a \"great champion of victims of domestic violence\", directing \"millions of pounds\" into fighting the crime. Charles Walker - the co-chair of the Tory's backbench 1922 committee - also described her as a \"good egg\" for her work on mental health. 'Be true to yourself' Finally, Mrs May was thanked for furthering the cause of women in Parliament as only the second ever female prime minister in No 10. New Lib Dem leader - and yes, herself a woman - Jo Swinson, said seeing women in positions of power, including the PM, was an \"inspiration\" to young girls growing up in her constituency. She said: \"Can I ask the prime minister what advice she has for women across the country on how to deal with those men who think they could do a better job but are not prepared to do the actual work.\" Mrs May replied: \"My advice to all women is be true to yourself, persevere, keep going and be true to the vision you are working for.\" And she pointed out to Labour they were the last party in the Commons to have not had a female leader. Mother of the House and Labour MP Harriet Harman added a thoughtful tribute to Mrs May, saying \"even her harshest critics must recognise her integrity and commitment\". But she did offer a final word of \"sisterly advice\" - \"sometimes you just have to be a bit more careful when a man wants to hold your hand\". So, after answering more than 4,500 questions, spending over 140 hours at the dispatch box, and with the offer of a walking holiday in Northern Ireland in her back pocket, Mrs May bid an emotional farewell to the Speaker and the House of Commons to a standing ovation - at least from her own benches.",

            "input": "By Drew Miller HyndmanBBC Ouch It has been 25 years since disability rights were enshrined in law under the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA). It defined what disability was and set out what disabled people could expect so they didn't face barriers. To mark the occasion, here are 25 things you might not know about disability. 1. What is disability exactly? Good first question. You are considered disabled if you have a physical or mental impairment which has a substantial and long-term adverse effect - beyond 12 months - on your ability to carry out day-to-day activities. 2. The blues The Blue Badge enables disabled drivers or passengers to park as close to their destination as possible, but it hasn't always been blue. In fact, between 1970 and 2000 it was actually orange. Then the European Union introduced a standardised blue badge. It allows users to park in a variety of places for free, including on some double yellow lines, but the rules vary between areas so it's always best to check. Some rumours tell us it was yellow before it was orange, even. 3. The businesses missing billions Do you like to splash the cash? Just think how keen businesses would be to attract you through their front door if you had billions to spend. The Purple Pound is the spending power of disabled households, that's any household where at least one member is disabled. In the UK it's worth an estimated £274bn annually! According to Purple, business misses out on £2bn every month if disabled people cannot access their shop or service. 4. The secret button at pedestrian crossings You're probably familiar with the bumpy paving slabs and loud beeps at the roadside to help visually impaired people use them. But do you know about the secret electronic gizmo there too? Located under the box with the button on it is a protruding cone which rotates when the lights show you can walk. Put your hand on it and wait for it to start going round and round then start to cross if it feels clear. These are particularly helpful when crossings are close together and you might not easily know which one is making the noise. The cone provides confidence that it is safe to cross the road you're in front of but you should always use your judgement. 5. It is NOT a miracle Either out and about or online you may have seen a wheelchair user get up to reach something or walk. This isn't the grace of god or a benefit scam, because many wheelchair users are ambulatory, meaning they are able to stand and walk on their own. The reasons for them using wheelchairs can vary from having pain or discomfort when walking long distances, to chronic fatigue meaning walking could wipe you out significantly afterwards. 6. The Disability Price Tag \"It's not about the money, money, money\" sang Jessie J in that famous 2011 song, but being disabled certainly does seem to be quite a lot about money. According to Scope, in 2019 the average 'Disability Price Tag', or, the extra cost of living that disabled people have , was £583 a month - that's on top of food and housing. That works out as more than half an average rent extra. It's often spent on much-needed services such as physiotherapy, or having to pay more for products that are accessible. 7. The keepers of the key Some disabled people have access to more than 10,000 secret doors thanks to RADAR keys. These doors lead to accessible toilets, as opposed to other worlds, but they're just as important. The keys ensure toilets are protected from damage and misuse whilst still allowing access to those who need it. Keys are issued by charities and local authorities. The name comes from the old charity, Radar, which merged into Disability Rights UK. 8. Fidget spinners Do you remember those triangular-shaped spinning devices that you hold in the middle? These aren't just distracting gimmicks driving teachers and parents mad, they also help some disabled people stay calm and focussed. The origins of the fidget spinner date back to the 1990's when they were created to help children with ADHD and anxiety. There's a whole range of similar devices out there to suit people's needs. 9. Cutting out the noise You've probably seen the blue sign with a white ear on it while you've been out and about, but do you know what it means? For hearing aid users it means there is a hearing loop in place which is good for eliminating background noise like in shops when you're trying to talk to the cashier. It uses a wireless signal to broadcast audio from a microphone near the person speaking directly into someone's hearing aid. All a hearing aid user has to do is flick the 'T switch' on their hearing aid to tune into the loop. It's a bit like flicking between your cable HDMI input and your DVD HDMI input. 10. Home is where the heart (and adaptations) is Home is supposed to be the place we feel most comfortable. However, many older buildings were not built with accessibility in mind - think about how many have steps up to the front door! This leaves the onus on disabled people to adapt their homes. Councils will provide a free assessment and pay for any adaptations under £1,000 such as ramps or rails and there are also grants available to help with more costly adaptations such as wet rooms instead of showers or lower countertops in the kitchen. 11. Access denied We live more of our lives online than ever, but the online world can be just as inaccessible as the real one. Many websites and services are not compatible with assistive technology like screen readers, which read text to visually impaired users or speech input so that people can talk to their computer instead of using a keyboard. Remember the Purple Pound from earlier? The organisation Purple estimates that businesses lose £17.1bn each year as disabled people click away from their inaccessible websites. In the Covid age where we're all doing far more online shopping, it makes sense to prioritise access. 12. 60 minutes of peace Many of us look forward to a trip to the shops or the cinema, but these public spaces can be overwhelming to some autistic people. Bright lights, loud noises and crowds can cause sensory overload. That's why some shops and cinemas have been turning down their music and lights at certain times of the day, making it easier for autistic people to go out. We're seeing it more and more now. 13. Let me take you for a Stim Stimming, also known as self-stimulating behaviour, is a kind of repetitive behaviour that autistic people perform such as flicking a rubber band or repeating words or noises. Not every autistic person stims but those that do can do so for a variety of reasons, such as to reduce or manage sensory input, or to reduce anxiety in overwhelming situations. Many autistic people rail against those who think it's a bad thing to do as it has significant benefits. 14. #Awks We've all had that awkward moment when we've said something we shouldn't. Using the right language when talking to disabled people is important. Using identity first language, such as \"disabled person\" rather than \"person with a disability\", is preferred by lots of people for a very specific reason - it marks an important academic understanding of disability known as the social model and is the basis of the disability civil rights movement. Saying people first ignores the civil rights work but does emphasise the importance of identifying first as a person. 15. Please mind the gap There are many more disabled people in the UK than often assumed. At least 22% of the UK's population, that's almost 14 million people, are disabled. However, according to Scope, 60% of those asked generally underestimate this figure. This 'perception gap' is often put down to a misunderstanding of what disability is. 16. Living a good life As mentioned earlier, being disabled is expensive and this can have consequences. According to the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, nearly a third of households with a disabled resident live in poverty, compared to 19% of non-disabled households. Although, since the DDA was passed the percentage of families affected has fallen slightly from 35% to 30% whilst the rate for families without a disabled resident has remained around one in five. 17. Bump bump bumpety bump We've all experienced a fire drill, and some of us are unlucky enough to have been through the real thing. We know to avoid most lifts in an emergency (unless it's an isolated lift designed for this purpose) but what if you can't use the stairs? Evacuation chairs may be the answer. They grip stairs to create a smoother descent. Any building must have an accessible way to evacuate during a fire, by law, and these chairs are one of the most common choices. The chairs require at least one other person to control the descent and that person must be trained to use it. However, some disabled people aren't big fans of this form of escape. 18. I can't see anything? Not all impairments are visible. You might have heard about this over the past few years as the awareness of invisible disability has risen. On the list are neurodivergent conditions like autism and ADHD to mental ill health, Cystic Fibrosis and many in between. Some invisibly disabled people have taken to wearing sunflower lanyards to indicate that they are disabled so they can use disabled facilities without having to talk about it. 19. Inspiration Porn This isn't as dirty as it sounds - it's all about the use of the I-word (inspiration!), a word that's often over-used with disabled people. If you call a disabled person an inspiration for just going about their daily life it's often not appreciated because it suggests you have low expectations of them. The term was popularised in 2012 by Australian disability rights activist and comedian Stella Young who particularly disliked the misplaced voyeurism, as she saw it, in media. A good way of sense checking whether it's ok to say the I-word is asking yourself: \"What did they inspire me to do?\", if it's walk to the shops or put clean socks on, maybe stop with the praise. 20. Ready for some maths? We're pretty sure most people have seen ramps designed for wheelchair users, but it's not as simple as you might think. In accordance with building regulations, ramps cannot be too steep or too high, if the top of the ramp is greater than 2m above ground level, then an alternative such as a lift should be provided. The ideal gradient is 1:20, that's 5% on a road sign, which represents 20cm in length for every 1cm rise. They must also have landings with sufficient space at the top and bottom and no need for tricky three-point turns! 21. Born this way \"What happened to you?\" or \"Were you born like that?\" are questions many disabled people loathe to hear. Not only because the answer may be distressing to talk about but because it focuses in on their difference. Allow us to present the stats. Fewer than one-in-five disabled people are born disabled, the majority become disabled later in life. 22. Who's talking in the background? Ever heard an electronic monotone voice in the background of a meeting? It's probably your visually impaired colleague reading something more interesting than whatever you're droning on about. Many blind people use screen reading software that reads out the text on a computer or phone screen. In fact, a lot of blind users listen to their reader at 2.5x the speed of speech. That means, while it would take you around 33 hours to read War and Peace, with a screen reader it could take as little as 13 hours to listen to the whole thing! 23. Dogs Humans best friends are perhaps most known for their role as guide dogs for blind people. But they can also be trained to assist people with anxiety and panic disorders and to spot, prevent, and ease panic attacks. Similarly, assistance dogs can be trained as hearing dogs, seizure alert dogs, and can even alert diabetic people when their blood sugar is too low. If you are paired with a dog, you won't get to choose the dog's name, as they've already been named for training. A few of our favourite guide dog names include Anton and Unity - imagine shouting that in the park? 24. Changing places We might not like to admit it, but everybody uses the toilet. Accessible toilets have to cater to a lot of different needs and Changing Places are a larger version of the usual disabled loo that includes a hoist and changing bench. These are set to be made compulsory in new buildings from 2021, making them one of the most recent, and practical, victories for accessibility. 25. The last hurrah If you've made it this far, congrats! We're going to sneak in one last self-indulgent fact. The DDA is a trailblazer in the world of disability. But there are other great trailblazers too... like the Ouch podcast. It was the BBC's first podcast made just for a digital audience back in 2006 and is still going. Click this link.

The eight year old was killed in November 2014 whilst walking along a road with his mother and five of her other children. They were on their way to meet a school bus to take them to Clough. A solicitor told the court on Wednesday that the driver of the vehicle, Stephen Austin, 22, said the family was spread out over the left side of the road as he approached them. Ms Hannah told the court: \"That's just a downright lie\". She explained that the family had to walk in single file on the left side of the road, facing away from oncoming traffic, because a ditch and hedge prevented them walking on the other side. She said she has already asked the local education board for transport, warning them that \"someone's going to end up getting skittled on that road\". Mr Austin was 18 years old at the time of Adam's death. Adam's mother and his brother, Ryan, also needed hospital treatment after the incident. Sarah Hannah was in a wheelchair for several months after the incident and has no recollection of that day whatsoever. She told the court that the North Eastern Education and Library Board had eventually agreed to provide transport for her children as the walk to the bus stop every morning was so dangerous. However, she further told the coroner that the bus driver on the route was not happy about taking the extra time for the journey to collect her children, and that the situation was being reviewed with the help of her local assembly member, Jim Allister. Adam was a keen footballer and had been learning to play the drums. He loved tractors, and had told his mother he wanted to be a farmer.

Both UK and Welsh governments emphasise their efforts to tackle unemployment. The Department of Work and Pensions said international prospects were difficult, but there were encouraging signs of labour market stability. Richard Darlington of the IPPR said it had looked at forecasts published in the Budget, and examined how job losses affected the economy last year. Unemployment in the UK is predicted to peak at 8.7% at the end of the summer. \"I'm afraid it's going to get worse before it gets better,\" said Mr Darlington. \"And it's not going to get better for some time as well. \"The projection is that although unemployment will peak at the end of the summer it won't actually begin to fall until the end of next summer, 2013, and we're already suffering the longest recession in British history. \"This will be the slowest recovery ever, and I'm afraid that unemployment is going to lag and the jobs market is going to be worse. Even when the economy returns to growth, people will still be losing their jobs.\" Mr Darlington said it would be a lot harder for young people if not for schemes put forward by both the UK and Welsh governments: the Youth Contract across the UK, and the Future Jobs Wales fund. \"But what we really need is for the government to support people who have been out of work for more than a year,\" he said. \"Long-term unemployment is the real worry, because once the economy does return to growth people who have been out of work for a year or more are going to find it really difficult to get back into work. 'Scarring effect' \"And unemployment can have a terrible scarring effect on people's mental health and their future prospects.\" The UK government has begun its Youth Contract programme to get unemployed 16-24-year-olds into work or training. In October the Welsh government announced a programme called Jobs Growth Wales, intended to create 4,000 jobs per year. Last week it launched its £75m Growth Wales project, aimed at creating 12,000 temporary jobs for unemployed 16-24-year-olds. They will be offered six months being paid for at least 25 hours per week, with the Welsh government covering the cost of a minimum wage salary and the employer's National Insurance contribution. Ministers said the scheme was aimed at encouraging employers to make the jobs permanent after six months. Latest figures in March showed a slight rise in unemployment in Wales. In the three months to the end of January, the total went up 1,000 to 134,000, an unemployment rate of 9.1%. The Welsh rate compares with a UK average of 8.4%, while unemployment on the year has risen by 10,000. The IPPR predicts that the highest increases in unemployment across the UK will be north-west and eastern England, London, and Yorkshire and Humberside. But it forecasts that other areas - the West Midlands, Northern Ireland and south-west England - will see a job recovery. The Department of Work and Pensions said that while \"the international economic outlook remains difficult... we will do everything we can to help the unemployed find jobs\". \"There have been some encouraging signs that the labour market is stabilising, but there is clearly still a big challenge ahead to bring down unemployment,\" a spokesman said. After the latest unemployment figures Welsh Business Minister Edwina Hart said the Cardiff Bay administration was \"doing all we can as a devolved government to stimulate the economy to reduce the barriers businesses face, encourage demand and investing for the longer term\".",

Two of the company's directors are also on the list, which ranks Britain's wealthiest 1,000 people or families. Jamie Oliver and fashion tycoon Sir Philip Green saw their fortunes drop. Mr Ratcliffe, 65, moved from the council house in Failsworth to East Yorkshire as a boy. He went to Beverley Grammar School, studied chemical engineering at Birmingham University, and got an MBA from London Business School, according to a Financial Times profile. His father, who was a joiner, went on to run a factory that made laboratory furniture, while his mother worked in an accounts office. Mr Ratcliffe's firm is currently locked in a legal battle with the Scottish government over its moratorium on fracking. His wealth leapt by £15bn in the past year - partly because of a revaluation of his assets. He is the first UK-born person to top the rich list since the Duke of Westminster in 2003. Mr Ratcliffe has been on expeditions to the North and South Poles, has run marathons, and is a Manchester United fan. In 2015, he said the UK could thrive outside the European Union. \"The Brits are perfectly capable of managing the Brits and don't need Brussels telling them how to manage things,\" he said. \"I just don't believe in the concept of a United States of Europe. It's not viable.\" In 2016, he told the BBC the government needed \"backbone\" when negotiating its exit from the EU. At second place in the list were the Hinduja brothers, Sri and Gopi, worth £20.64bn. Their fortune jumped by £4.44 billion from 2017. British-American industrialist-turned-media mogul Sir Len Blavatnik came in third place with £15.26bn. Sir Philip Green's estimated fortune fell by £787m to £2bn - partly because of his decision to contribute £363m to the BHS pension deficit. Jamie Oliver fell off the list entirely, after problems at his restaurant group. In total, 141 women are on the rich list, with Charlene de Carvalho-Heineken, of the brewing dynasty, ranked highest at number six. Robert Watts, who compiled the list, said: \"Britain is changing. Gone are the days when old money and a small band of industries dominated the Sunday Times Rich List. \"Aristocrats and inherited wealth has been elbowed out of the list and replaced by an army of self-made entrepreneurs. \"Today's super rich include people who have set up businesses selling chocolate, sushi, pet food and eggs. \"We're seeing more people from humble backgrounds, who struggled at school or who didn't even start their businesses until well into middle age.\"",

The £500m scheme which it's claimed will create 15,000 jobs will now go to the government for the final say. Outline plans for a series of community-led developments at Everton's Goodison Park site were also approved. Historic England had objected to the new stadium on Bramley-Moore Dock saying it could harm the city's heritage but this was dismissed by the city's planning committee. The Premier League club, which has been at Goodison Park since 1892, said it had been looking for a new home for 25 years due to limitations at its current home. The development would be the \"most inclusive and sustainable\" stadium in the UK and would \"preserve the area's heritage\", Everton's chief executive officer Prof Denise Barrett-Baxendale told the meeting. She said it was a \"once-in-a-generation opportunity\" to regenerate one of the city's most deprived areas, creating thousands of jobs and be a \"key part in the region's post-pandemic recovery plan\". Under the plans, the 52,888-seater ground could host up to four pop concerts a year as well as weddings, funerals, Christmas parties and conferences. And the club's current Goodison Park site is to be converted to \"high-quality, affordable housing, a health centre, retail and leisure spaces and a youth enterprise zone\" for the Walton community. By BBC Merseyside political reporter Claire Hamilton \"I've got shivers down my spine. First the derby and then this - what a week!\" Everton fans have a lot to celebrate. After a 25-year search, a new stadium could be on the horizon. That famous horizon - Liverpool's waterfront - is a World Heritage site. It's been on UNESCO's \"in danger\" list since plans for tall buildings were first mooted in 2012. Those skyscrapers haven't materialised, and this stadium might beat them to it. The planning committee had to decide whether the public benefit of the new stadium outweighed the harm to the heritage assets of the site... and they decided that they did. The Secretary of State will now decide whether to overturn or uphold the committee's decision, and the UNESCO World Heritage status will be reviewed later this year. Club chairman Bill Kenwright said: \"Whilst today is just one more step in our long journey, it is a very important one. \"It's been a good week for Everton and Evertonians.\" Historic England said that while it supports Everton's need for a \"state-of-the-art\" stadium and the benefits it could bring, it advised the council to refuse the application. In a statement, it said the plan to infill the dock would \"fundamentally change its historic character\" and result in \"substantial harm\" to the significance of the Grade II listed dock. It added it could also damage the waterfront's World Heritage Site status. The club said it had committed to spending £55m in preserving and celebrating the heritage assets as well as creating a heritage centre around the currently derelict Hydraulic Tower. Green party group leader councillor Tom Crone had raised concerns about the environmental impact of the scheme. He said he felt \"reasonably reassured\" with the club promising alternative forms of transport but added that would like to see \"good footpaths\" to the stadium. The proposals will now be referred to the Secretary for State of Housing, Communities and Local Government for consideration. Why not follow BBC North West on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram?

His plaque was unveiled in Stroud Green, north London. It has been revealed only 4% of the 900 plaques on buildings in the city are for black and Asian figures. For more stories about inspiring English sporting figures follow our Pinterest board English Heritage said it had launched a working group to propose nominees to try and increase that number. Those who are remembered include Jamaican Crimea War nurse Mary Seacole, Chinese writer Lao She, Indian poet Rabindranath Tagore and guitarist and songwriter Jimi Hendrix. It said the low numbers were partly due to a lack of public nominations for people who fulfil the blue plaque criteria and an absence or inaccessibility of historical records establishing a definitive link between the person and the building where they lived. To get a blue plaque in London, nominees must: Cunningham more than meets this criteria. Born in Archway in 1956, he was scouted by Leyton Orient when he was 18. He played there for three years before joining West Bromwich Albion, under the helm of Ron Atkinson, when the club became one of the most exciting teams in the top division. In 1977 he made his England debut in an under-21s friendly against Scotland. He made his full international debut in 1979 and earned six caps. He was often reported as being the first black footballer to play for England, but, in 2013 the Football Association amended its records after it was revealed that Benjamin Odeje played for the country at schoolboy level in 1971. Following his time at West Brom, he became the first British footballer to play for Real Madrid. He then had spells at teams including Manchester United and Wimbledon, who he helped win the FA Cup in 1988. A year later he was killed in a car crash in Madrid aged just 33.

Jacob Rees-Mogg may have apologised for his insensitive remarks about what happened at Grenfell Tower. But it is toxic for the Tories, playing straight into familiar accusations about the party that they can't understand, and therefore cannot seek to represent, ordinary people for whom life is sometimes a struggle. Boris Johnson and his team are often accused of being simply a bunch of grown-up public school boys, who know little of the world beyond their gilded ascent to power. Stereotypes of any type are often overcooked in politics, but wise Conservatives are very well aware they have an image problem on this front that is hard to shed. Today's mistake just gave Labour all of the ammunition it needed to make the charge again and again, and then ensuing upset from some of their backers like Stormzy, the rapper and singer, which will have its own long-lasting half life on social media. There aren't always very many moments of that elusive \"cut through\" in campaigns. This might just be the first moment this time round - although it is impossible to know yet if the upset over these remarks will shift any votes away from the Tories, or just enrage those who plan to choose other parties already. The opposition of events And elections bring with them weeks, and tides and tides of news that can wash away early horrors or successes for any political party. So far, so predictable - the parties all know well the view of the Conservative prime minister decades ago, Harold Macmillan, who warned what knocked parties off course was \"the opposition of events\". (Yes, apparently he never said, \"events, dear boy, events\", if you want to feel like a clever clogs). But surprises can work in their favour too - and the Liberal Democrats are hoping the election will be just as unpredictable as the last few crazy years. If you had heard a Liberal Democrat leader proclaim they were standing to be a candidate for prime minister not so long ago, you'd have wanted to check their temperature. And yet every time Jo Swinson gets anywhere near a microphone, it's what she says. Have things really become so strange that a party that got 12 MPs in 2017 is knocking on the door of No 10? Never, quite, say never. Although in our first-past-the-post system, you may love or hate, it is vanishingly unlikely that a party could go from 12 MPs to the magic 326 that gives a party a majority, the power to govern, and to get things done. So what are they on about? Well, just as Jacob Rees-Mogg's dreadful gaffe will create terrible headlines for the Conservatives online and in the press, so too, the Lib Dems hope, the bold claim from Jo Swinson that she could genuinely end up in Downing Street creates noise and headlines, a sense of what might, just about, be possible. The more familiar the message, the less far-fetched it might seem, so the theory goes, even though chat from some activists at the party's launch this morning was that getting back up to 50 or 60 seats or would be a pretty good night. Expect the party leader, though, who believes she has a massive opportunity at her fingertips, to repeat her claim about No 10 again and again and again. It may not be the most outlandish campaign we hear in the next few weeks. Welcome to the predictably unpredictable campaign of 2019, and the prime minister hasn't even yet been to the Palace.",

How can it be when the shape of a final Brexit deal that will have a huge impact on the country's finances is still unclear? Hear me out. With the economy looking marginally less gloomy, the chancellor has made plain he is not going to unleash huge amounts of public spending any time soon. What he hinted at was if, the economy continues to look less peaky by the autumn, he, at that point, will feel that it is possible to look at increasing public spending in what he described as the years ahead, in the next spending review. That will be the government's tax and spending masterplan, in 2019. And the arguments about the shape and scale of the Tory commitments to public services, whether spending or reforms point to those decisions, over the next 12 months, not to the kind of immediate top-ups to this service or that which MPs have been pushing for. And the outcomes of those decisions will set the economic and political backdrop for the run up to the next general election, scheduled for 2022. As we reported this morning, some ministers around the cabinet table already believe that could include tax rises for the health service. Others in government are making it plain that will have to mean, in their view, a more generous approach to other areas like defence and council spending. Some Tory MPs believe if their party can't find a way of moving on from their argument that only they can be trusted to sort the books out, they will lose the next general election. Money isn't everything, but there are plenty of Tories who believe the financial choices they make in the next 12 to 18 months will determine their fate at the polls.

In his address, Nick Clegg said that \"the politics of blame has found an acceptable face - it wears a big smile and looks like someone you could have a pint with down the pub\". But the Lib Dem leader accused UKIP of promoting an \"ungenerous, backwards-looking politics\". It is a flavour of the ad hominem attack Mr Clegg will take to Nigel Farage in April's television and radio debates. So what is going on? The Liberal Democrats have 11 MEPS, 12 if you count Edward McMillan-Scott, who defected to them from the Conservatives in 2010. There is real fear in the party that these could be wiped out in the elections on 22 May - a poll UKIP is hoping to top. Which is why the Liberal Democrat tactic is to frame the election as a simple choice: UKIP who want Britain to get out of Europe and the Liberal Democrats who believe Britain must be in. This is why \"IN\" is the word plastered all over this conference. By trumpeting a passionate commitment to the EU and Britain's membership of it, the Lib Dems are hoping to win the votes of pro-European Tory and Labour voters too. It is only the Lib Dems, Mr Clegg argues, who unequivocally argue Britain's interests are best served by EU membership. He will criticise the Conservatives, who promise a referendum on EU membership by the end of 2017, for having \"one foot out the door\". So will this tactic work? The thinking is that voters will respect the Lib Dems for sticking to their principles, fighting for an issue that has met with scepticism or boredom in much of public life. But European elections are rarely about Europe. The result usually reflects how voters feel about the state of domestic politics. And at the moment the Lib Dems are adrift at about 10% in the opinion polls. Translated to a European election that uses a proportional voting system, it is easy to see why they are worried. Meanwhile, the \"differentiation\" strategy picks up pace. On Europe, tax and immigration the Lib Dems are sharpening their attacks on the Conservatives. This conference has revealed sincere Lib Dems' fury at what they see as a Tory attempt to purloin their flagship policy - raising the personal allowance to £10,000. In recent months, Conservative ministers have talked with pride about this coalition tax cut. And there is clearly a proper behind-the-scenes battle going on about whether it goes up again in this month's Budget. Some coalition \"rows\" are manufactured for the mutual benefit of both parties. This one is not. But Nick Clegg's central message remains the same - that his party was right to form a solid coalition with the Conservatives to deal with the economy, despite the political price it has paid. But the electoral credit the Lib Dems yearn for still looks elusive.",

British Transport Police said they were still investigating the death. His family's solicitors said they felt \"left in limbo\" by the Covid-19 pandemic, which has led to delays. Mr Tuvi, from Cambridgeshire, had been working on the walkway as a contractor when he died. At the time Mayor of London Sadiq Khan called for quick answers over his death so lessons could be learned. But his family have said they were still waiting for a series of investigations to finish before an inquest could take place. 'Tragic consequences' Speaking on behalf of Mr Tuvi's family their solicitor, Charlotte Rankin, said his wife and three young children remained \"absolutely devastated\" by his death. She said: \"He was a hardworking loving father, and the last thing they expected when he went to work was that they would have a knock on the door from the police to tell them that he had been involved in such a horrific incident. \"Of course, given the tragic consequences, and the complexity of the circumstances surrounding what happened, the family understand the need for thorough investigations to take place. \"They are also very mindful of the limitations caused by the Covid-19 crisis and are therefore very grateful to everyone who is working so hard under such difficult circumstances. \"Sadly, however, while the family are being kept informed of progress, the ongoing nature of the investigations do mean that they remain very much in limbo, and desperate for answers as to what happened and whether more could have been done to protect Christian.\" Latest news and stories from London A spokeswoman for the Office of Rail and Road said it was continuing to work with British Transport Police. She added: \"Our focus is on understanding what and how it happened and whether the incident occurred as a result of any health and safety breaches. \"Our thoughts continue to be with the family.\" For more London news follow on Facebook, on Twitter, on Instagram and subscribe to our YouTube channel.",

About £214m is going on flood claims and £149m on wind damage. However, affected people should not expect a hike in premiums, a spokeswoman said. This is because insurers use some of their premiums to pay a levy into a scheme each year - the government's Flood Re fund - which helps them pay out for flood damage. In the immediate aftermath of the two storms, insurers paid more than £7.7m in emergency funds to get home owners and businesses back on track, including paying for temporary accommodation when homes were uninhabitable. The clean-up operation is still under way in affected areas. On Thursday, Environment Agency said it was pumping nearly one billion litres of water a day out of areas of East Yorkshire which were hit by floods. Scores of homes were affected when the River Aire overflowed due to the storms. Mark Shepherd, the ABI's head of general insurance policy, said: \"With some properties still under water, making emergency payments and arranging emergency alternative temporary accommodation or trading premises is very much a live issue.\" Previous payouts The last time several significant storms struck in quick succession was in December 2015, when storms Desmond, Eva and Frank caused damage to the cost of £1.3bn, the ABI said. It also put the cost of flooding in parts of south Yorkshire and the Midlands in November last year at more than £110m. ABI spokesman Malcolm Tarling said: \"Insurers take these events on the chin. They expect flooding and bad weather to occur, and they plan for it. \"Insurers will look at the predictions for bad weather. They know that flooding is going to get worse and become more significant, and insurers will take that into account when they set their prices.\" In 2019, researchers said that climate change would drive a \"robust increase\" in UK flooding.",

Robbie Williams's Swings Both Ways held on to number one in the album chart after a close battle with One Direction and Take That bandmate Gary Barlow. Leona Lewis had the highest-charting Christmas song, with her original track One More Sleep staying steady at number three. AC/DC scored their first UK top 10 single, with Highway To Hell at number four after a social media campaign to try to keep this year's X Factor winner off the top spot. \"Being number one is absolutely amazing,\" said mother-of-two Bailey, who beat 17-year-old Nicholas McDonald in the X Factor final last Sunday. She said the fact proceeds from the single were going to two charities, Great Ormond Street Children's Charity and Together For Short Lives, made it \"extra special\". Figures from the Official Charts Company show Bailey sold 149,000 copies of Skyscraper this week, a cover of a track by Demi Lovato.

            "input": "Prince Andrew said on Wednesday he would withdraw from his official role for the \"foreseeable future\". Criticism of the prince's ties to convicted US sex offender Epstein intensified amid a growing backlash following a BBC interview. Lawyers for Epstein's victims have urged the prince to speak to US police. The prince was seen by photographers on Thursday morning driving out of his home in Windsor, Berkshire, and was later spotted leaving Buckingham Palace. The Duke of York's ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, who defended him as a \"true and real gentleman\" a day before the Newsnight interview was broadcast, was also seen being driven into the grounds of Buckingham Palace. Meanwhile, more organisations have announced they are cutting ties with the Duke of York. The University of Huddersfield said the prince was stepping down with immediate effect from his role as chancellor. The Association of Leading Visitor Attractions - which represents tourist sites such as museums, galleries and historic houses across the UK - said the prince was no longer its president. And the Outward Bound Trust - a network of outdoor education schools - said it had accepted his resignation as patron. Companies including BT and Barclays and other institutions had already distanced themselves from the prince. What does 'stepping back' from royal life actually mean? Prince Andrew became a full-time working member of the Royal Family following his retirement from the Royal Navy. The announcement that he would be stepping down from public duties, described by Buckingham Palace as \"a personal decision\", was taken following discussions with the Queen and Prince Charles. The retirement of the Duke of Edinburgh from public life in 2017 is the most recent example of where a working royal has stepped back from their duties. Although under very different circumstances, in Prince Philip's case, some of his long-held patronages have been passed to other family members. The Duchess of Cambridge and the Countess of Wessex were among the royals to take on his former patronages. What happens to Prince Andrew's finances? The prince's access to public money to fund travel and expenses will end. For example, a three-day visit to Bahrain by the prince on behalf of the UK government in April 2018 cost £16,272, paid for by the taxpayer-funded Sovereign Grant. The Sovereign Grant is public money which pays for the cost of official royal duties, in exchange for the surrender by the Queen of the revenue from the Crown Estate. There is also an annual payment to the prince from the Privy Purse - the Queen's private income - recorded in 2011 as being £249,000. Asked about whether this funding would continue, Buckingham Palace said only that the Duke of York's office was funded privately by the Queen. What does Prince Andrew's decision mean for Epstein's accusers? The prince has been urged to put himself forward to be interviewed by US investigators who are looking into allegations against Jeffrey Epstein. In his statement on Wednesday, Prince Andrew said he was \"willing to help any appropriate law enforcement agency with their investigations, if required\". David Boies, a lawyer representing Virginia Giuffre and other accusers, said the prince's withdrawal from his royal duties was \"a positive first step towards taking responsibility for his actions\". \"A second positive step would be to agree to be interviewed by the lawyers representing the victims of Jeffrey Epstein,\" he added. Gloria Allred, who represents some of Epstein's accusers, told BBC Newsnight that she was \"glad\" it appeared the prince was willing to co-operate. But she asked: \"Is he insisting that he be served with a subpoena to testify, or is he willing to speak to law enforcement without being legally required to do so? \"My clients who are victims of Jeffrey Epstein have spoken to law enforcement without being 'required' to do so.\" Another US lawyer for several Epstein accusers, Lisa Bloom, who is Ms Allred's daughter, said she would be prepared to serve legal papers on the prince in the UK, compelling him to give sworn testimony. Ms Bloom said it appeared the prince may have crucial information on Epstein's alleged crimes and that she would be willing to serve him with legal papers compelling him to give sworn testimony. Virginia Giuffre claimed she was forced to have sex with the prince three times. The prince has always denied any form of sexual contact or relationship with her. So what next for the prince? It is now unlikely that Prince Andrew will attend events or make trips in his capacity as the Queen's third child. Other working royals are expected to take over Prince Andrew's commitments in the short term. It is likely the prince's private office at Buckingham Palace, which helps him keep his official diary, will reduce in size. But it will not be a complete retirement for Prince Andrew. It is understood the prince will continue to support his entrepreneur programme, Pitch@Palace, although it will take place separately from the palace. Prince Andrew's attendance at Royal Family engagements, such as the Trooping of the Colour, Remembrance Sunday or Christmas at the family's estate in Sandringham, Norfolk, is not thought to be affected. This is without precedent in modern times. Prince Andrew's public life is over for now. The statement says the withdrawal is \"for the foreseeable future\". But it's hard to see what will bring him back. The interview is almost universally seen as a mistake. It was a disaster. But it may have seemed a good idea at the time. BBC Panorama has been digging into Virginia Giuffre's allegations and is going to air soon. That will have added to the pressure, alongside legal efforts in New York to have more Epstein-related papers released. There's talk of a lack of grip at the Palace, but Buckingham Palace is not like a company or a government department, with reporting lines and a chain of command. For centuries princes have gone their own way. There are lots of questions - about money, titles, military commands, patronages, about how this might speed reform, and of course about whether Prince Andrew still has a part to play in helping with investigations into Epstein, and helping Epstein's victims find answers. But right now the humiliation is complete. Born into the public eye, Prince Andrew has had to retreat into a private life. And the monarchy is shaken.

QAnon is a sprawling conspiracy theory whose followers support US President Donald Trump. Twitter said it hoped the action would help to prevent \"offline harm\". In a statement shared on the platform, Twitter said it would permanently suspend accounts that violate its policies while tweeting about QAnon. The suspensions will be applied to accounts that are \"engaged in violations of our multi-account policy, coordinating abuse around individual victims, or are attempting to evade a previous suspension - something we've seen more of in recent weeks,\" it said. The suspensions are expected to affect about 150,000 accounts worldwide. More than 7,000 accounts have been removed in recent weeks for violations, Twitter said. QAnon supporters have been linked to numerous other false claims that have spread online, including a bizarre conspiracy theory involving a US furniture company and allegations of child trafficking. The FBI last year issued a warning about \"conspiracy theory-driven domestic extremists\" and designated QAnon a potential domestic extremist threat. What is QAnon? By Shayan Sardarizadeh and Jack Goodman, BBC Anti-disinformation team QAnon is a wide-ranging unfounded conspiracy theory that President Trump is battling a clandestine \"deep state\" network of political, business, media and entertainment elites, often involving Satanic plots and child trafficking. QAnon began in October 2017 on the anonymous message board 4chan. A user claimed to have top security clearance within the US government and signed off their posts as \"Q\" - hence the name QAnon. Q communicates in cryptic posts and claims to be directly involved in a secret Trump-led investigation of a global network of child abusers. QAnon followed on from the \"pizzagate\" saga in 2016 - a fake theory about Democratic Party politicians running a paedophile ring out of a Washington pizza restaurant. QAnon influencers have big audiences on social media. They urge followers to \"do their own research\" - in other words, watch YouTube videos and talk to other supporters - to solve Q's puzzles. In its nearly three years of existence, the conspiracy has drawn huge traffic on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube and Reddit, attracting hundreds of thousands of dedicated followers. This includes celebrities and dozens of candidates running for Congress this year. During the coronavirus pandemic, Q influencers have spread unfounded theories about coronavirus, calling it a \"deep state\" hoax and have promoted misinformation about face masks and vaccines.

Of 52,807 loans applied for, almost 28,000 have still to be approved. \"Staff are working incredibly hard to get money to those viable businesses that need it,\" said UK Finance chief executive Stephen Jones. More than £1.33bn of loans was approved in the week from 21 April to 28 April, down from £1.45bn in the previous seven days. \"A concerningly high number of firms continue to struggle to access this crucial lifeline,\" said Suren Thiru, head of economics at the British Chambers of Commerce. \"More than £4bn has been delivered to over 25,000 businesses so far through the CBIL scheme,\" Mr Jones said. Scheme 'should be simpler' Banks have been criticised for delays in handing out loans but have blamed the heavy workload, the need to complete the necessary credit checks and a shortage of staff. Trade body UK Finance said changes to the scheme announced by the chancellor this week would allow lenders to streamline their application processes and help more businesses to access the support they need. Small firms will be able to access 100% taxpayer-backed loans of up to £50,000 within days of applying from next week. Four weeks ago, when concerns were first raised that the CBILs were being processed too slowly and on too small a scale, the government and banks said the number of loans approved would climb. Last week, when UK Finance announced the number of loans approved had doubled, that seemed possible. Today's figures end that hope. While it's tempting to blame banks for being too slow and risk-averse, they are doing what the regulators want: lending with careful attention to risk. But right now, we need more lending and fewer time-consuming checks. The new Bounce-Back Loans are meant to address that, but there's a more fundamental problem. Only a tiny fraction of businesses - about 1%- have applied for CBILs so far. Most firms don't want more debt - it puts their businesses, already sunk in Covid-related uncertainty, in double jeopardy. Not just 'can it survive the shutdown?' but also 'can it repay the debt'? The British Chambers of Commerce has called for more unconditional support to stop businesses going under. Another suggestion would be loans that you don't have to pay back unless and until your revenues recover to pre-Covid levels, a hybrid of loan and grant. \"The Bounce Back loan scheme is a welcome step toward getting cash to the smallest firms more quickly,\" said Mr Thiru. \"The UK government and financial institutions should simplify and standardise the CBILs application processes to unlock access for more businesses of all sizes.\" Virus hits Lloyds Meanwhile, Lloyds Bank has revealed the coronavirus crisis has led to a massive 95% drop in profit. Pre-tax profit for the first three months of the year were £74m, down from more than £1.6bn in the same three months of 2019. \"The coronavirus pandemic presents an unprecedented social and economic challenge, which is having a significant impact on people and businesses in the UK and around the world,\" said boss Antonio Horta-Osorio. The bank said it had lent about £410m to 3,752 small businesses as part of the CBIL scheme. Lloyds is behind many of its rivals - HSBC has lent £765.2m, Barclays £835m and RBS £1.4bn.",

            "input": "By Ashleigh NghiemBBC News The new policy was announced by Facebook's chief operating officer, Sheryl Sandberg, who has spoken publicly about mourning her husband, Dave Goldberg, who died in 2015. \"We need public policies that make it easier for people to care for their children and aging parents and for families to mourn and heal after loss,\" Ms Sandberg posted on Facebook. She added that companies that stand by the people who work for them do the right thing and \"improve their bottom line by increasing the loyalty and performance of their workforce\". The move has sparked huge debate on social media and has been lauded as extremely generous. Is it enough? We asked the views of four people dealing with grief in the workplace. A bereaved father Chad Andrews and his family returned home from an Alaskan cruise three years ago when his eight-year-old son, Connor, was rushed to hospital a few days later. Connor had mild flu symptoms that suddenly worsened. He was placed in intensive care but deteriorated rapidly. In June 2014, he died of myocarditis - an inflammation of the heart stemming from a virus. Mr Andrews told the BBC that his life became a blur. He had lost an \"exceptional, brilliant and beautiful\" son and was left in shock. But he forced himself to return to work a fortnight later even though he admits he wasn't very productive. \"When you're paralysed by grief and it's all your mind can absorb, the last thing you care about is work,\" he says. \"I had no capacity to be in control or function in the everyday world.\" Mr Andrews works at IBM where he builds technology platforms for video content. Officially, the company gives staff three days of bereavement leave but he says there was never any pressure for him to return. After many stops and starts, it took him seven weeks to resume work full-time. While he believes there is no magic formula, he says Facebook's 20 days bereavement leave \"seems like a good best effort to set an effective benchmark\". But he adds that it depends on when the individual can function again. A grief counsellor Chan Lay Lin has been a social worker and family therapist for more than 20 years. She is a principal medical social worker at Singapore's Institute of Mental Health and says most organisations in Singapore will allow about three days of compassionate leave when a staff member suffers a bereavement. In her experience, this is adequate when the circumstances are not overly traumatic. But she says in exceptional cases experienced by around one in seven people, a longer grieving period may be needed, with the approval of a doctor or therapist. The factors considered, she says, include the relationship with the deceased, the level of attachment and dependency and the nature of the death. Sudden and unexpected deaths are all the more traumatic. Ms Chan says in severe cases some people may never feel like they get back to normal and can fall into depression, making them unable to go back to work for a long time. For those people the grief may never end, even if it gets easier to bear. But she stresses these are very rare and extreme cases. A boss Peter Wilson has been a boss working in human resources for 33 years, and is the chairman of the Australian Human Resources Institute. According to him, the standard for bereavement leave in democratic, Western cultures is between two and five days. When his own parents died he used compassionate leave to take one day off for the funeral and another to grieve with his family. He took an extra week of annual leave in each instance, which he describes as a \"fair balance\". Mr Wilson believes Facebook's bereavement leave policy is unusual and doubts it will be adopted widely. Twenty days amounts to nearly 10% of the working year, which he says would be \"excessive\" if it became law. His concern is that it would put pressure on employers to increase other categories of leave too. \"This could have a knock-on effect which could make companies uncompetitive,\" he says. He favours a \"sensible, minimum standard which the government prescribes and the discretion to give more leave on a case-by-case basis\". Ten years ago, he granted three months' paid leave to an indigenous employee on cultural grounds. Mr Wilson says most employers will extend leave provisions where there's a good case for it. A headhunter Dan Clements is the managing director of the technology executive recruitment firm, Identify, and says most people probably do not factor in bereavement leave when they are deciding whether to join a company. However, he believes a firm's compassionate leave policy could give potential employees insight into its culture and ethics. Firms that take a mature and humane approach stand to attract great talent because employees want to be treated fairly and with kindness, he says. Mr Clements surveyed the compassionate leave policies of 10 multinational companies. They all offered between three and 10 days, with five days being the most common. One firm went further, giving its managers discretion to grant staff more days off for a bereavement. But he says companies can do more by offering flexible working arrangements such as remote or part-time working, as well as job sharing to help staff in need of more time to grieve.",

We ran for our lives. I still don't know what happened to my mother,\" she said, sitting in a thatched hut in a fishing village near the town of Teknaf in south-eastern Bangladesh. Ms Khatun is one of the Rohingya Muslims who have managed to cross into Bangladesh following the communal unrest in western Burma's Rakhine province. The 30-year old broke down repeatedly as she tried to explain what happened over the border. She says their village came under attack during clashes between majority Buddhists and local Muslims, mostly from the Rohingya minority. Nearly 80 people were killed in the fighting and thousands were displaced. Human rights groups allege that Burmese security forces continue to carry out mass arrests, forcing many Rohingya Muslims to flee. A state of emergency declared last month is still in force in many places of the province. Unwanted There is no independent confirmation of the claims of extra-judicial killings and other abuses - journalists are denied access to the area. Burma denies its security forces are responsible for human rights abuses. Since the June clashes, many hundreds of refugees have been trying to get into Bangladesh, taking perilous boat journeys along the Bay of Bengal and across the river Naf, which separates the two countries. \"We were floating on water for six days. I could not feed my children for days,\" Ms Khatun said. \"When we tried to reach Bangladesh, we were not allowed to enter. We did not know where to go.\" There are an estimated 800,000 Rohingya Muslims living in western Burma. The Burmese authorities argue that the Rohingyas are recent migrants from the Indian sub-continent. But Dhaka says they belong to Burma, so they are not welcome in Bangladesh either. Dhaka says there are already 400,000 Rohingyas living inside the country, most of them, it says illegally. Bangladesh has pushed nearly 1,500 Rohingya Muslims back into Burma since June saying it cannot afford to help them. Some - like the family of Zohara Khatun - have managed to get in. The Rohingyas who came recently have been living in hiding among Bangladeshi villagers. They are afraid that if the authorities come to know about them they will be sent back to Burma immediately. Bangladeshi authorities say they are determined to stop the latest influx. Lt Col Zahid Hasan of the Bangladeshi border guards showed me how his men have been patrolling the river Naf to prevent Rohingyas from crossing into the country. \"It is really putting a direct effect on our social stability as well as the economy. If this influx continues then the problem of stability will be at stake,\" Col Hasan said. \"Sometimes these Rohingya people are involved in drug trafficking, human trafficking and other anti-social activities which are really affecting the social stability in this area.\" The Rohingyas deny such allegations. 'We belong to Burma' The refugees I spoke to accused Burmese security forces of turning a blind eye when their villages came under attack. \"My husband was killed in the riots. The Burmese police were shooting only at the Muslims, not the Buddhists. The military was just watching from the rooftop and they did not intervene,\" said Sayeda Begum, another Rohingya Muslim woman. Rohingya Muslims have flocked to Bangladesh over the past 30 years, bringing with them tales of oppression and exclusion. They are denied citizenship and land rights in Burma. Human rights groups say they are among the most persecuted minorities in the world. But Bangladesh's refusal to allow in the recent wave of refugees has also attracted criticism. \"We understand it is not that easy. So we advocate with the government of Bangladesh to give at least temporary protection status to those arriving from Rakhine state of Myanmar [Burma],\" said Dirk Hebecker, a senior official from the UN Refugee Agency in the Bangladeshi town of Cox's Bazaar. The Rohingyas who crossed into Bangladesh in the past three decades have been living in camps along the border. The unofficial refugee camps have no running water, drainage or health facilities. The Rohingyas live in abject poverty and squalor in these camps. The recent statement by Burmese President Thein Sein that the Rohingyas should be resettled in a third country has also added to the anxiety of Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh. \"We are concerned by the president's comments. We belong to Burma and we want to go back to our villages. It is difficult to live in refugee camps like this,\" said Ahmed Hossain, a Rohingya community leader in Kutupalong camp, near Cox's Bazaar. \"We are willing to go back to Burma only if our security and rights are guaranteed.\" For years, Bangladesh has been urging the Burmese authorities to take back the Rohingya refugees living in various camps but without much success. The latest crisis comes at a time when Burma is gradually moving towards democracy. But many here in Bangladesh argue that the process may not be complete unless the Rohingya issue is resolved.",

            "input": "By Jonathan WebbScience reporter, BBC News Scientists scanned the brains of 15 people recalling four similar scenes, in a study published in PNAS. They spotted overlapping memory traces in a specific corner of the hippocampus called \"CA3\", a known memory area. If their CA3 was bigger, the subjects were less confused and there was less overlap in the traces. Most of us store many similar memories, relating to the places we spend most time and the people we know best. Normally we can tell them apart, though some of us may be better at it than others. The CA3 region was thought to process each memory using distinct sets of brain cells. These findings suggest, however, that when two episodes incorporate similar content, they may in fact be \"remembered\" by physically overlapping networks - and more space could be beneficial. \"Our results may help to explain why we sometimes find it difficult to differentiate between similar past memories, and why some people are better at doing this than others,\" said Prof Eleanor Maguire, the study's senior author, from the Wellcome Trust Centre for Neuroimaging at University College London (UCL). The 15 subjects watched four short movies, showing two different actions happening in each of two different places. They were then prompted to remember each one, 20 times over, inside a brain scanner. Scans revealed distinguishable memory activity in the CA3 region, but not three other compartments of the hippocampus. Importantly, the four different memory traces showed significant overlap. Furthermore, that overlap was more apparent in people who said they were more confused by the similarities between the four memories. Greater capacity The scans combined fMRI (functional magnetic resonance imaging) with detailed structural measurements of each brain, so as well as getting a read-out of brain activity, the team could measure the exact size of each person's CA3. That was how they discovered that the size of this region, relative to the rest of the hippocampus, affected both the amount of overlap in the traces and the level of people's confusion. \"A larger CA3 may contain more neurons or more connections between neurons, which could allow greater physical separation of the different memory traces,\" Dr Martin Chadwick, who conducted the experiments, told BBC News. Although overall brain size is not related to different individuals' mental abilities (Einstein's brain was smaller than average), the relative dimensions of different components have been linked to various characteristics. An earlier study by Prof Maguire famously showed that as they hone their impressive mental street maps and navigational ability, London cab drivers develop a larger hippocampus, on average, than the rest of us. Dr Hugo Spiers, a neuroscience lecturer at UCL who was not involved in the research, described the new paper as a \"really useful\" addition to that classic finding. \"[The hippocampus] is quite a lot of brain,\" he told the BBC. \"What they've now found is that this particular bit within it, the CA3, which is a very exciting bit of the brain, is larger in some people.\" \"The taxi driver study is about the overall size being related to navigating a big city, but that's very different to remembering what each of you said in an argument you had with your partner the other day. Most of us are really bad at that - it ends up as 'You said this' 'No I said that' - it might be the size of CA3 that influences who's going to win that argument!\" The CA3 region is remarkable because its widespread connections to other pockets of the brain are accompanied by a vast number of interconnections within the CA3 itself. This marked it out years ago, Dr Spiers explained, as a potentially useful component for memory storage and retrieval. \"You want something to reconnect with itself a lot, to allow you to retrieve rapidly stored memories - but it's got a limit,\" he said. \"We've got a better understanding, from this new work, about what this particularly important bit of the memory circuitry is doing.\"",

She was the president of France's MPC, or \"movement of angry police officers\", set up after a Molotov cocktail attack on officers in 2016. The high rate of police suicides has been a key part of the MPC's campaigns. The group recorded 29 suicides of police in 2018 to the end of October – not including the alleged suicide of Ms Biskupski. French newspaper Le Parisien reported that Ms Biskupski was found after a friend had raised concerns about her whereabouts. She founded the MPC in 2016, after four officers were attacked with Molotov cocktails in Viry-Chatillon to the south of Paris. Two of the officers were badly injured, leading to a wave of protests by police officers over safety issues. The fledgling MPC grew rapidly, independent of the existing police unions, spreading its message on social media. Ms Biskupski was herself investigated by the police inspectorate because of her activism. But she remained the group's president and was its most recognisable member, making frequent media appearances to speak about police working conditions. France's Interior Minister Christophe Castaner was among those to pay tribute to Ms Biskupski as an officer and an activist. \"Tonight our sorrow is deep,\" he tweeted. \"Maggy Biskupski's fight must not die out: I hear the anger of the police. And we are answering, concretely, with more staff and more resources on the ground.\" Marine Le Pen, president of France's National Rally party, tweeted that Ms Biskupski's death was symbolic of the suffering which she had denounced tirelessly and made her cause. \"This carnage cannot continue,\" she added. Laurent Wauquiez, leader of France's Republican party, also added his voice to the praise. Ms Biskupski was a symbol who \"carried the fight of those who protect us every day,\" he tweeted. \"We did not know how to protect her,\" he added.",

The vlogger said the firm made it easy to find videos of young girls, even though comments clearly showed that viewers were sexualising the videos. YouTube said it took \"immediate action\" to delete the offending accounts. The firm, which shares a parent company with Google, has been criticised for not removing offensive content fast enough in the past. Vlogger Matt Watson made the allegations in a video posted on YouTube that has been watched nearly two million times. He explained the videos themselves were not sexual, but that commentators had flagged moments when girls appeared in compromising positions - such as performing gymnastics or posing in front of a mirror. One watch spurred YouTube's algorithm to recommend similar videos, some of which ran next to ads from firms such as Disney and Nestle. Catching abuse A Nestle spokeswoman said the food maker had decided to \"pause\" YouTube advertising globally while the issue was investigated. \"We will revise our decision upon completion of current measures being taken ... to ensure Nestlé advertising standards are met,\" she said. Epic Games, the maker of the Fortnite video game, also said it had halted ads on the platform. It said: \"Through our advertising agency, we have reached out to Google/YouTube to determine actions they'll take to eliminate this type of content from their service.\" Disney and German food company Dr August Oetker also took action, according to Bloomberg, which first reported the story. In its statement YouTube said: \"Any content - including comments - that endangers minors is abhorrent and we have clear policies prohibiting this on YouTube,\" the company said. \"There's more to be done, and we continue to work to improve and catch abuse more quickly.\" Extremist videos It is not the first time YouTube has run into this kind of problem. Part of its system for reporting sexualised comments left on children's videos was not functioning correctly for more than a year, moderators said back in 2017. In 2017, the company apologised after adverts from government agencies and companies such as Marks & Spencer and Audi appeared next to videos from supporters of extremist groups on YouTube's platform. At the time, those companies also pulled ads amid the controversy. Despite growing pressure on Google and YouTube to crack down on offensive content, the firms' advertising revenues continue to thrive. Their parent company, Alphabet, earned almost $137bn (£105bn) in revenue in 2018, up 23% from the prior year.",

            "input": "Chinese President Xi Jinping and Japanese PM Shinzo Abe met on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Co-operation (Apec) summit in Beijing on Monday. Papers see the meeting as a step in the right direction, but note that the leaders had \"stiff expressions\" when they posed for photographs in Beijing. Chinese papers blame Mr Abe for the \"frosty handshake\", while Japanese dailies feel Mr Xi \"remained expressionless\" due to \"harsh public opinion\" in China regarding Japan. Relations between the two countries have long been soured by a row over islands in the East China Sea and historical tensions. China Commentaries in Chinese papers urge Japan to not disappoint Beijing's \"gesture of goodwill\" after a long-anticipated meeting between the leaders. The Global Times observes that both Mr Xi and Mr Abe look \"stern\" in a picture released by the Xinhua News Agency. Jia Xiudong, an expert from the China Institute of International Studies, attributes such \"lack of passion\" to the Japanese government's stance on issues over history, sovereignty and the military. However, he highlights the significance of the meeting. \"The meeting is important because it has pointed the Abe government to the correct direction, making it possible for the bilateral ties between China and Japan to return to normal as soon as possible,\" the expert says in a front-page commentary in the People's Daily Overseas Edition. In an unusually mild editorial, the Chinese edition of the Global Times calls on Mr Abe to reciprocate China's courtesy. \"Mr Abe must uphold the promises in the consensus reached between China and Japan to make it worthy of the complications and speculations surrounding this meeting,\" the article says. However, a section of the media is more cautious regarding the impact of the meeting on Sino-Japanese ties. Noting the Abe government's \"less-than-glorious track record\" regarding bilateral ties, the China Daily says Japan's words must be \"matched with credible actions.\" Echoing similar sentiments, a Xinhua News Agency commentary adds that the Mr Abe's promises \"must be tested by reality\". \"It will take work over a long period of time before the bilateral ties [between China and Japan] will become stable. In particular, the Japanese government needs to show that it cherishes this rare opportunity with actions,\" it says. Japanese papers too see the meeting as an \"important\" step towards a establishing a \"realistic framework for coexistence\". An article in the Nikkei Asian Review says Mr \"Xi and Mr Abe wore stiff expressions when they shook hands Monday - no surprise, given that it was the first formal meeting between the leaders of China and Japan in three years\". But it adds that \"the world can take comfort in the fact that leaders of the second and third-largest global economies managed a handshake\". \"Unless leaders can cool tempers and build a realistic framework for coexistence, Japan's interests will suffer. China needs Japan, too, if it wants to achieve stable economic growth,\" it says. An analytical piece by the Kyodo news agency says the meeting was \"largely symbolic and the real challenge will be after this [breakthrough]\". \"The meeting of about 25 minutes at Beijing's Great Hall of the People was much longer than initially expected, which could well be a harbinger of improved bilateral relations… In an apparent reflection of how difficult the current situation is and how deep bitter memories of Japan's past militarism run in China, Mr Xi did not smile at all in front of cameras as he shook hands with Mr Abe,\" it says. The Asahi Shimbun's editorial says \"it is still possible to seek coexistence and co-prosperity even when issues of contention remain\". It urges both countries to \"act prudently to affirm that guiding principle\" for peace in the region. A report in The Japan News says Mr Xi's \"cool response apparently reflects harsh public opinion in China regarding Japan\".

Her friend Debbie Maskell recalled: \"She was like a big kid - it was like she never grew up. Everything was just 'wow - look at that'.\" They were 18 when they met. Julia - or Ju, as she was known - was a student at Stafford Art College, and Debbie's friend Elaine Higginson had introduced Julia as her new partner. The three were inseparable. And it was usually Julia, with her seemingly endless energy, who instigated a lot of their fun. \"She was really full of life,\" said Debbie. \"She used to drag us out, make us do things. She was like an excited schoolgirl.\" Whether it was socialising in the pubs of home town Dudley, running her popular market stall, or exhibiting her paintings, Julia did it with a smile. \"If there was a word to describe her, it would be 'sunshine',\" said friend Steve Gibbons. \"If Ju walked into the room, you knew you were in for a good night. She was a pleasure to be around.\" Music was among her passions. She loved The Strokes, and when she heard they were playing a gig in London, she bought tickets and surprised Elaine with them last year. The pair spent months looking forward to the show, but it was one they would never make. The band performed on 25 May 2019 - 14 days after Julia went missing. Elaine, left distraught by Julia's death, has felt unable to go to a concert without her. Julia was murdered by Nathan Maynard-Ellis and his partner David Leesley. The former was fascinated with decapitation and horror movies, and the pair hid Julia's dismembered body parts in undergrowth. They were jailed on Monday. Another reminder of grim detail where the person behind the victim can become lost. It was distressing for Julia's friends to read reports into her death. During the October trial it was said that while a lesbian, she was known to be \"flirtatious with men while drunk\". And it was this, at least according to the hearing, that led her to talk to Maynard-Ellis in a Dudley pub on the night she disappeared. The truth is no one knows why she decided to go back to his flat in Tipton after meeting the stranger by chance. But those who knew Julia recall an outgoing and friendly nature. \"She'd speak to anyone,\" said Debbie. \"She could be very trusting, but she'd have her guards up, usually.\" Others talk of Julia's kindness, and remember a person ready with a pep talk for anyone in need of a boost. Among them was Charlotte Almanzi, whom Julia encouraged to start a business despite a health setback. \"She encouraged me to get out there and make a difference - she believed in people,\" Charlotte said. \"Her willingness to connect with people in jest and smiles is what we all loved.\" It is why Charlotte remembers her friend as \"beautifully human\". Charlotte's mum Norma de Wolf echoed the sentiments. \"[Julia] was larger than life. She'd have no qualms walking into a pub on her own because she knew everybody - they all knew her from the market and the shop.\" The ventures, both in Dudley, offered candles and incense, along with pagan statues and artefacts. Julia was deeply interested in the religion and it was through monthly social meetings on the topic that she met Steve Gibbons. \"You'd always know Julia was there because she'd come and put her head on your shoulder,\" he said. \"She'd always greet people with a hug - she was just a very happy, tactile person.\" When Julia went missing and no one saw her for a couple of days, Debbie had an \"awful, sinking feeling\". She said: \"I knew something really bad had happened. I knew she wouldn't let Elaine worry.\" Seeing Julia's flat from the street was painful. \"I'd look up at the window and I would see her paintbrushes in a little sun catcher,\" Debbie said. \"I'd just look at them and be like 'where are you'?\" Debbie still finds it difficult to walk past the site. \"Julia deserved so much more than [what happened]. She was a bright light to everyone. You'd never forget her if you saw her. She was so full of life, and we are lost without her.\" Elaine, meanwhile, feels as though something of herself has gone. \"They killed a part of me too,\" Elaine said. \"Not a day goes by when I'm not thinking about her. She was my world. She took me out of myself. \"It's like that quote - I loved her in colours that don't exist. And now it's the same how much I miss her. \"Not a day goes by [without it hitting] me that I'll never see her again, and it just knocks me for six.\" Follow BBC West Midlands on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

            "input": "By Tom EspinerBusiness reporter, BBC News A strain of the Fusarium fungus, which causes so-called Panama disease in banana plants, was detected in Colombia. The strain, which is very difficult to treat, has been spreading around the world for decades. As the vast majority of bananas exported to the EU and the US are Cavendish varieties, do we need to worry about supplies to the UK? Are bananas under threat? While the fungus is not harmful to humans, it has the potential to eventually wipe out Cavendish bananas, according to experts. Millions of people around the world rely on bananas and plantains as a staple food and as a cash crop. While there are more than 1,000 varieties of bananas, which come in different colours, shapes and sizes, just under half of global production is the Cavendish type. Cavendish bananas are reportedly easier to transport than some other varieties. They also give high yields per hectare. In 2013, world banana production was about 134 million tonnes, with about 60% being dessert bananas, according to the UN. The fungus strain attacking Cavendish bananas, called Tropical Race 4 (TR4), can also infect other varieties of banana plant. What is the problem with the fungus? Fusarium TR4 was first detected in the 1990s in Malaysia and Indonesia and quickly spread to China, where it occurs widely, according to the UN. It attacks the roots and blocks the plants' vascular systems. The disease is \"a serious threat to banana production\" because once it is established, it can't be eradicated, the UN says. And fusarium fungus can remain in the soil for 30 years. It has been spreading for decades through Asia, Australia and Africa. It has now been detected in Latin America, which supplies the bulk of the world's bananas grown for export. Who detected it? The disease was detected in Colombia by a team from Wageningen University in the Netherlands. Prof Gert Kema of the university said finding the strain in Latin America for the first time was \"a very bad thing\". Colombia neighbours Ecuador, which is the world's biggest banana exporter. While the disease is unlikely to have an impact in UK supermarkets yet, it has the potential to be very serious, he said. No other types of banana are yet ready for cultivation on a commercial scale. How has the fungus managed to spread so far? Cavendish banana varieties are reproduced asexually. Plants of one variety are genetic clones of the parent plant. If one plant is susceptible to a disease, all of its offspring will also be susceptible. The Cavendish was brought in as a monoculture crop after Fusarium fungus all but wiped out the world's previous favourite dessert banana, the Gros Michel, in the 1950s. According to Prof Kema, the main problem stems from the overreliance on Cavendish varieties for export, which he describes as a \"monoculture\". \"We have to diversify banana production,\" he said. If there is only one type of banana plant being grown, resistance to infection is lower. So to control a separate fungal infection called Black Sigatoka, banana producers spray crops with pesticide if they can afford it, causing environmental damage, he said. How pressing is the TR4 problem? Banana giant Fyffes, which says TR4 has not had an impact on its plantations, says the risk from the fungus is \"manageable\", but that only stringent bio-security practices will slow its spread. The big banana firm creates exclusion zones around its plantations and visitor entry is restricted. Visitors can't wear personal shoes and must walk through fungicidal footbaths. Vehicle tyres must also go through baths. Fencing is designed to keep out animals that can transfer soil, while water is drawn from wells or public water sources - run-off water can contain the spores. A spokeswoman said the firm was \"actively investigating alternatives\" to Cavendish cultivars, but had \"nothing at scale at the moment\". Hugo Hays, global director of food safety and compliance at Fyffes said: \"Provided biosecurity measures are stringently adhered to, the spread of TR4 can move very slowly. \"It has existed for several decades in Asia and they are still producing and consuming bananas there. \"Fyffes is collaborating with the wider banana industry to combat the spread of TR4 and keep it off our farms and our growers farms.\" However, Prof Kema is not so optimistic about controlling the spread of the disease. Measures to control TR4 are expensive, and usually result in a trade-off between the costs of containing it and the profits from growing bananas, he said. Small producers may not be able to afford the mitigation measures, he added. How are supermarkets responding? UK supermarket giant Tesco said it had taken steps to mitigate the spread of the disease and ensure supplies. Tesco said its US managers were \"industry experts and frequently visit and keep in close contact with our suppliers to make sure the necessary actions are taken to avoid contamination\" from the fungus. It said it had been working with suppliers for nearly 10 years to make sure customers get bananas \"from the best sources, in regards to quality and sustainability\". It added that all of its bananas were Rainforest Alliance-approved. Do we need to worry about banana blight? According to the Norwich-based Banana Link co-operative, bananas are one of the most profitable items in UK supermarkets. And people in the UK eat 10 kilos of bananas per year, on average, or about 100 bananas. So the market is there, but will Cavendish bananas be in the future? That very much seems to depend on whether banana diseases can be controlled, and also on whether the effects of increasingly violent storms on banana crops can be mitigated.",

The US has previously accused China of commercial cyber espionage - something China denies. The US-China talks have also been overshadowed by allegations that the US has hacked into Chinese networks. The claims were made by fugitive US whistleblower Edward Snowden. The former government contractor told a Hong Kong newspaper last month that America's National Security Agency had led more than 61,000 hacking operations worldwide, with many targets in Hong Kong and mainland China. The two sides set up the cyber security working group in April, to speed up action to prevent hacking attacks. The working group was led by US cyber issues co-ordinator Christopher Painter and Chinese Foreign Ministry official Dai Bing. The US hoped that Monday's talks would \"enable the two sides to share perspectives on international laws and norms in cyberspace\", US state department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said. The working group talks come ahead of the US-China Strategic and Economic Dialogue, a key annual ministerial meeting between the two countries. That forum is set to take place on Wednesday and Thursday. US Secretary of State John Kerry and Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew will host the meeting in Washington, attended by China's State Councillor Yang Jiechi and Vice Premier Wang Yang. The US has said that many hacking attacks on its networks - both government and commercial - originated in China.

The Chinese government has repeatedly denied responsibility, saying it is a victim of US-based attacks.",

Yesterday, one Conservative minister privately marvelled at how effective their party's attack line was, asking voters to imagine a coalition between the SNP and Labour under Ed Miliband, joking that under Jeremy Corbyn, it's a strategy that the party will be able to use again and again. Election pollsters 'got samples wrong' That element of the campaign was entirely a product of the polls that suggested parties would have to do deals with each other. If it hadn't looked like a hung parliament, would there have been more scrutiny of the Conservatives' plans, rather than focus on likely deals? Probably. Labour politicians will be scratching their heads today as the party's inquiry into what went wrong carried out by the former Foreign Secretary Margaret Beckett points out some home truths to them. The party was consistently behind on leadership and the economy. So why did so many in their senior echelons believe that they could win? They were guided by the headline polls too, and their strategy and attacks were shaped by where they perceived their position to be among the public. Would there have been more exploration of their policy and ideas that could hypothetically have changed the campaign had there been less focus on possible coalitions? Maybe. It was not of course, in the end, anything like a dead heat that would lead to a hung parliament. I remember the audible gasp in the BBC's election studio when David Dimbleby read out the exit poll results putting the Conservatives clearly ahead, by a margin that was to grow and grow through the evening. As the night went on, as Paddy Ashdown promised to eat his hat and Alistair Campbell said he would eat his kilt, a succession of politicians echoed the same line, \"it's early in the night\", as the numbers dribbled in. By the morning, the Conservative victory was secure, three party leaders were poised to resign, the Scottish National Party proved utterly dominant in Scotland and David Cameron's Jag was being polished up to go and see the Queen. But for all that the consequences of the 2015 polls were many and various, the reasons, as outlined today by academics, appear remarkably simple. Pollsters didn't ask enough of the right people how they planned to vote. Proportionately they asked too many likely Labour voters, and not enough likely Conservatives. Politics is not a precise science and predicting how people will vote will still be a worthwhile endeavour. Political parties, journalists, and the public of course would be foolish to ignore them. But the memories and embarrassment for the polling industry of 2015 will take time to fade. For more, have a listen to the first in a series on political polling that teases out what happened and how it might have changed things in a BBC Radio 4 programme, Can we Trust the Opinion Polls? Presented by the BBC's recently departed number cruncher, David Cowling, it's well worth a listen. (Despite my own contributions)",

Inquests into both of the deaths were opened and adjourned at Chesterfield Coroners Court. The court heard Miss Sillett, 41, was a social worker in the adoptions team for Stockport social services, while her son was a pupil at Simmondley Primary School. Jenson's head teacher has previously described him as the \"perfect child to have in your class\".

Labour called his dual employment \"extraordinary and shocking\". The disclosure about Mr Crothers - who had been the government's chief procurement officer prior to being taken on by Greensill - is the latest of several stories involving the now-collapsed financial firm. It employed former prime minister David Cameron as an adviser from 2018. The Financial Times and the Sunday Times revealed that Mr Cameron had contacted several ministers, including Chancellor Rishi Sunak, to push for greater involvement in government loans schemes for the company. Boris Johnson has set up an inquiry into lobbying - attempts to persuade governments to change policy - including Greensill's role. Government sources said this would also now look at the situation surrounding Mr Crothers. Mr Crothers, who had already left his job as chief procurement officer but remained a Civil Service employee, joined Greensill as an adviser to its board in September 2015. The letter from Conservative peer Lord Pickles to leading civil servant Alex Chisholm says: \"This was agreed by the Cabinet Office under its internal conflicts-of-interest policy.\" Lord Pickles asks for \"guidance on the conflicts-of-interest process\" undertaken. The letter adds: \"The lack of transparency around this part-time employment with Greensill may have left the misleading impression that Mr Crothers had wilfully ignored the obligation to seek advice.\" Mr Crothers left the Civil Service in November 2015, two months after taking up his role at Greensill. He became a director of the firm in late 2016. 'Transparent' A letter from Mr Crothers to Lord Pickles, a former Conservative Party chairman, written earlier this week, has also been published. In it, he says: \"I am concerned that there may be a view that I did not follow proper process regarding my role with Greensill Capital. \"I assure you that I completely respect the required process and your office, took steps to comply, and believe that I did so.\" He adds: \"I was transparent about the move to Greensill Capital, and it was well known at the time.\" The shadow Cabinet Office minister Rachel Reeves said: \"This is an extraordinary and shocking revelation. \"The Conservatives have weakened the rules so much they may as well rip them up and start again.\" The government inquiry in to lobbying is expected to report by the end of June, but Labour says it does not go far enough.

It is part of the agreement reached between the UK and EU on how the new Irish Sea border will operate. The rules will apply whether or not the two sides can agree a trade deal. The so-called \"grace period\" will initially be for three months, with six months guaranteed for chilled meat products. The UK and EU have also agreed, under the part of the original withdrawal deal that deals with Northern Ireland - known as the NI Protocol: On Wednesday, Downing Street said \"very large gaps remain between the two sides\" on a trade deal after Prime Minister Boris Johnson met European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen in Brussels. The leaders agreed that \"by Sunday a firm decision should be taken about the future of the talks\", a source told the BBC. Ursula von der Leyen confirmed that positions remained \"far apart\", adding that negotiating teams \"should immediately reconvene to try to resolve these essential issues\". \"We will come to a decision by the end of the weekend,\" she said. 'British sausages for Belfast' Outlining details of the agreement reached with the EU on the NI Protocol in parliament on Wednesday, Cabinet Office Minister Michael Gove said the government had heard \"loud and clear\" the concerns of supermarket firms and that more flexibility was needed. From 1 January, Northern Ireland will stay in the EU single market for goods, but the rest of the UK will leave. That means a proportion of food products arriving in Northern Ireland from Great Britain will need to be checked. The EU has strict rules on products of animal origin: meat, milk, fish and eggs. These products must enter through a border control post where paperwork is checked and a proportion of goods are physically inspected. Several supermarket chains had warned the supply of some products from GB to NI could be reduced, due to extra administrative burdens. On Wednesday, Britain's biggest supermarket Tesco said it was stockpiling food ahead of a potential no-deal Brexit. Mr Gove said the agreement \"also prevents any disruption at the end of the transition period on the movements of chilled meats\". \"British sausages will continue to make their way to Belfast and Ballymena in the new year,\" he added. There is going to be a hard Brexit but the EU and UK are trying to give Northern Ireland a soft landing. The immediate fear about disruption to the flows of supermarket goods across the Irish Sea is addressed with a three-month \"grace period\". But what happens after that? Will there be time to negotiate a more durable arrangement or is this about giving supermarkets time to source more goods on the island of Ireland? And what about those food suppliers which aren't supermarkets? They are anxiously seeking more details. Read more: 'Devil in detail' as NI deal gets guarded welcome But Sir Jeffrey Donaldson, the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) Westminster leader, said \"safeguarding the union is not a three-month project\" - but an enduring commitment. He asked Mr Gove to commit, if necessary, to introducing ongoing \"safeguard measures\" to maintain unfettered access between Northern Ireland and Great Britain. The DUP had opposed the protocol in Parliament, arguing it would create a divide between NI and the rest of the UK that threatened to break up the union. Brexit - The basics What happens next with Brexit? Mr Gove said the government had delivered on its commitment to ensure unfettered access for NI firms shipping goods to the rest of the UK. \"No additional requirements will be placed on NI businesses for these movements, with the very limited and specific exception of trade in endangered species and conflict diamonds,\" he said. The Northern Ireland Protocol created a category of \"at risk goods\". These are goods which the EU fear could travel from GB through NI into the Republic of Ireland and the wider EU, without paying the correct EU tariff. The protocol makes a provision for tariffs to be charged on these goods. It was feared that a large proportion of goods going from GB-NI could have attracted tariffs in this way. \"Internal UK trade will be protected as we promised - whether we have a free trade agreement or not,\" said Mr Gove. The \"at risk\" goods problem would be almost entirely solved if there was a trade deal between the EU and UK, eliminating tariffs on all goods. But in the absence of a trade deal the trusted trader scheme would minimise the issue. The government also confirmed there will be an EU presence in NI after 1 January, but Mr Gove said it would not amount to a \"Belfast mini-embassy\". \"The EU officials will not have any powers to carry out checks themselves,\" he said, adding there would be \"sensible and practical\" cooperation and data sharing on both sides. Downing Street said it remained committed to peace and prosperity in Northern Ireland and that NI Secretary Brandon Lewis would shortly set out further measures of financial support to help businesses and communities in NI. What is the Northern Ireland Protocol? Its fundamental purpose is to prevent a hardening of the land border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. It does that by keeping Northern Ireland in the EU's single market for goods and by having Northern Ireland apply EU customs rules at its ports. That means goods arriving from Great Britain are supposed to be checked and controlled at Northern Ireland's ports from 1 January. This arrangement will apply whether or not a wider trade deal is agreed. It will also mean when relevant EU laws are amended or new ones are drawn up, they will apply in Northern Ireland. Under the plan, NI will leave the EU customs union with the rest of the UK at the end of this year, but will continue to enforce the EU's customs code at its ports.",

They say the development could be \"detrimental\" to the park's business. A planning application for the development of a neighbouring Grade II listed building has been deferred. The application for the development next to the Surrey theme park had been due to be approved by Runnymede Borough Council on Wednesday, but was delayed while discussions between the park's owners and developer Eden Retirement Living continue, according to the Local Democracy Reporting Service. Merlin Entertainment said the development of 79 apartments could impact future investment at the attraction because residents might object to noise coming from the rides and visitors. In a bid to \"protect its position\" the firm said the impact of the complex would be \"significant and detrimental to its ongoing operations\". Linda Gillham, councillor for the Thorpe ward, said: \"The main problem is that future residents may complain about noise, but in recent years the village residents have not complained about noise.\" You may also like: A noise survey carried out in July 2018 found that \"noise emitted from the theme park consists of screams from patrons and the noise created by the passing of a roller-coaster car\".

Crowds gathered outside a hall where PM Theresa May met survivors and protests were also held at Downing Street. Mrs May sanctioned £5m for clothes, food and emergency supplies, as the death toll rose to at least 30. The BBC understands those missing could number about 70, with the 30 likely to be among that number. Three of those who died have been identified. There was nothing to suggest the fire was started deliberately, police said. Hundreds of mourners stood arm in arm at a vigil and held a two-minute silence for victims of the fire. Many wept openly as candles illuminated the road outside the Latymer Christian Centre, yards from the site of the blaze. The fire broke out shortly before 01:00 BST on Wednesday. It tore through all floors of the building and took more than 200 firefighters 24 hours to bring it under control. Mahad Egal, who escaped his fourth floor flat with his family, said: \"At first it seemed it was controllable, but really quickly the fire started to rise as the cladding caught fire. It is incredible we survived.\" Emergency services spent a third day searching for bodies in the burnt-out Grenfell Tower in North Kensington. The first protest began at around 15:00 at the town hall and scores later joined it. At about 16:30, people began to rush up the steps and make their way into the building. One member of the public said: \"Nobody knows what is happening. People are so angry. Those people shouldn't be sleeping in the street.\" Mustafa Al Mansur, who organised the protest, read a statement from the council which promised to re-house as many people locally as they could and to provide funding for those affected. But he called the response \"flimsy\" with \"no concrete answers\" - especially on the question of number of residents who lived in the flats. \"The people were not satisfied with the answers,\" he told BBC News. \"The people were getting frustrated and they walked towards the building. They did not force themselves inside. They got inside the main building and were in the foyer, just speaking.\" Police then arrived on the scene and formed a barricade, which Mr Al Mansur said led to \"physical confrontation\" between the two sides. There were then angry scenes outside the Clement James Centre, in North Kensington, where the meeting with the prime minister and residents of the tower had been held. Dozens of demonstrators surged towards the entrance and there were scuffles outside as organisers appealed for calm. Mrs May had faced criticism for not meeting with survivors in the immediate aftermath, unlike Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn and Mayor of London Sadiq Khan. Asked about the reaction of the crowd, Mrs May defended the government's response. \"What I am now absolutely focused on is ensuring we get that support on the ground,\" she said. \"The government is making money available, we are ensuring we are going to get to the bottom of what has happened, we will ensure that people are re-housed. We need to make sure that actually happens.\" Mr Corbyn wrote an open letter to the prime minister, calling for the public inquiry to ensure \"all necessary lessons are learned\". The Labour leader added: \"[The inquiry] must be empowered to consider all the steps that were, or were not, taken leading up to and contributing to this most terrible incident. \"It must also identify the urgent steps that need to be taken in relation to fire safety standards for other buildings of this nature.\" Large crowds of people also gathered in Westminster and made their way to Downing Street. The crowd was heard chanting, \"Justice for Grenfell\", along with \"May must go\" and \"blood on your hands\". A peaceful march started making its way down Whitehall and was halted by police outside Downing Street, before moving to Oxford Circus, where demonstrators carried out a sit-down protest. The march continued up Regent Street, where they held a minute's silence outside the BBC's headquarters, and continued towards Marble Arch and Notting Hill, ending at Lancaster Gate. The £5m Grenfell Tower Residents' Discretionary Fund, announced by Mrs May, includes the aim to re-house residents within three weeks as close to where they lived before as possible, to pay for temporary housing in the meantime and to provide extra financial assistance. During her meeting with survivors, the PM also said they would be consulted on the terms of the public inquiry announced on Thursday and receive state funding for legal representation. Mrs May said: \"Everyone affected by this tragedy needs reassurance that the government is there for them at this terrible time - and that is what I am determined to provide.\" Royal visit The Queen and Duke of Cambridge also met volunteers, residents and community representatives during a visit to the Westway Sports Centre. The Queen paid tribute to the \"bravery\" of firefighters and the \"incredible generosity\" of volunteers now offering support. So far in the investigation: First victims named On Thursday, the first victim of the fire was named as Syrian refugee Mohammed Alhajali, 23. The Syria Solidarity Campaign said Mr Alhajali, a civil engineering student, had been in a flat on the 14th floor when the fire broke out, and had spent two hours on the phone to a friend in Syria. He had been trying to get through to his family while he was waiting to be rescued. His older brother, Omar, told the BBC he had lost Mohammed on the way out of the building. Two other victims have also been named. Five-year-old Isaac Shawo reportedly got separated from his family in the smoke and later died. Artist and photographer Khadija Saye, 24, lived on the 20th floor and also died. Get news from the BBC in your inbox, each weekday morning",

Almost 800 children, aged between two days and nine years, died at the home between 1925 and 1961. The grave was found nearly 40 years ago, but the remains were initially believed to be from the 1850s famine. However, local historian Catherine Corless found that the register of deaths and burials in the town did not match. \"I went to the births, deaths, marriages registration office in Galway and I asked them would they have records of the children who died at the home,\" she told the BBC. \"When she came back to me, she said, 'We have the records... but there's quite a number.'\" \"I was staggered and I was shocked because there's a total number of 796 babies, children and toddlers buried in one mass grave there on that site.\" Funds are now being raised to erect a permanent memorial to the dead children.

            "input": "Will GompertzArts editor@WillGompertzBBCon Twitter The same could be said of all the power lists that are published, which are based on informed conjecture. They are a publishing construct, designed to draw attention to a publication and (typically) its specialism. Today sees the publication of Art Review's Power 100, now in its twelfth year. The spin it has given to this year's chart, which is topped by Sheikha Al-Mayassa bint Hamad bin Khalifa Al-Thani of Qatar, is that a power shift is taking place in the art world - away from publically-funded museums to the private wealth of individuals and collectors. I'm not sure that's quite right. Or, at least, new. Wealthy individuals have always been major players, from the Medici to Peggy Guggenheim; King George IV to Charles Saatchi. I don't think it's so much a power shift that's happening between public and private - more that the two worlds are converging. To take a recent example, the Qatari royal family sponsored the Tate's Damien Hirst retrospective. It's now moved to Doha, where Tate director Nicholas Serota attended the official launch. It's a symbiotic relationship based on mutual benefit, but one that has led to money being prized over art. It's telling that there are no artists in the top five of Art Review's list. The means has become the end. World cup gallery? Quite what Sheikha Al-Mayassa is planning to do with the trophy western art works she is buying is anyone's guess. The 30-year old sister of the new Emir has been head of the Qatar Museums Authority for several years now. She has overseen the completion of the excellent Museum of Islamic Art in Doha, the creation of a museum of modern Arab art, and is in overall charge of an exhibition programme that currently sees the Al Riwaq gallery space covered in Damien Hirst spots. All of this is in the public domain. Information about her acquisitions of modern and contemporary western art is not. There has been much (informed) speculation as to what she has bought. Major works by Warhol, Bacon, Rothko, Koons and Hirst are all thought to have made their way over to Qatar. As has, it is thought, Cezanne's Card Players (1895), the only one of this wonderful series not already in a museum collection, for which it is said, she paid a record-breaking $250 million. What will become of these paintings and sculptures? Are they for private enjoyment, or perhaps to form the basis of a collection for a new museum of modern art to open in time for the 2022 World Cup? And why are the Qataris spending so much on art (more than anyone else in the world according to the Art Newspaper and its art market expert Georgina Adam)? International status and influence would appear to be a factor, along with a desire to compete with Abu Dhabi and Sharjah for the role as the region's cultural centre. Becoming a destination for tourism - both local and global - is likely to be part of the business plan: An investment made with the riches gained from selling oil and gas to prepare Qatar's economy for the time when those natural resources are less plentiful. And, finally, to deliver on the Qatar National Vision 2030, as set out by her father, which aims to \"build a bridge between the present and the future.\" The idea being to move the tiny state, in which there are only about 300,000 Qataris, from an oil and gas economy to a one that is knowledge-based.",

The penalty will be paid as compensation and in a charity payment. British Gas Business apologised and said good quality customer service had been restored. Compensation Regulator Ofgem said that tens of thousands of customers were left with inaccurate and delayed bills after the new IT billing system was introduced. More than 6,000 new business customers had difficulty in registering with the supplier. There were insufficient staff in place to deal with complaints, Ofgem added. British Gas initially compensated some customers and itself reported the problems to the regulator. It has since hired 350 extra staff to handle the backlog of complaints, and will now pay £9.5m in compensation to micro-business customers (which it will contact directly) and payments to the Money Advice Trust, which runs the Business Debtline. Dermot Nolan, Ofgem chief executive, said: \"Ofgem welcomes suppliers investing in new systems and recognises that this can be challenging. However, the £9.5m payment also sends a strong reminder to all energy companies that they must treat consumers fairly at all times, including while new systems are put in place.\" 'Major undertaking' Gab Barbaro, managing director of British Gas Business, said: \"We invested in a new billing system so we could improve the service we provide to our business customers. \"At the time, this was a major undertaking - merging nearly 100 different systems into one. It didn't go as smoothly as we would have liked so we reported this to Ofgem as a priority. \"We have restored a very good quality of customer service, and more and more of our customers are going online to use the new billing system. I'd like to apologise to our business customers for any inconvenience caused when we were implementing the system.\" The penalty is smaller than some handed out by Ofgem, such as a £26m fine given to Npower in December 2015 for billing and complaints issues, and an £18m penalty given to Scottish Power in April following IT problems.",

But some mobile phone analysts question whether the feature will be practical or popular. Touchless world A number of firms around the world have been exploringgesture control possibilitiesfor quite some time. Giants such as Apple, Microsoft and US mobile phone chip maker Qualcomm, as well as several small start-ups, are currently developing camera-based touchless technology. Their aim is to let users perform tasks such as answering the phone, navigating the web and flicking through photos using gestures - for instance, snapping fingers in front of the screen. Sony's new \"floating interface\" is different. A user's finger will essentially act as a mouse cursor, highlighting a link. Once selected, it can be activated it with a single tap. Calum MacDougall of Sony Mobile Communications called the phone's technology \"a sense of magic\". Wet hands But not everyone is that optimistic. Chris Barraclough, devices editor at Mobile Choice magazine, said that it was unclear how popular and practical the feature would be. \"It is certainly an original piece of technology, and may be useful, for instance, when your hands are wet, but we still need to see other practical implications of it,\" he said. Although it may seem that the feature could help users eliminate fingerprint smudges that inevitably cover any smartphone screen, Mr Barraclough thinks otherwise. \"I don't think it will really help - just pulling your phone out of your pocket already leaves lots of smudges,\" he said.",

            "input": "By Jonathan BealeDefence correspondent, BBC News Given the West's subsequent military failures in the region, some may even view it with a touch of nostalgia. On the face of it, there was a simple military objective. Saddam Hussein had invaded neighbouring Kuwait, and the world was willing to use force to eject him. That unity of purpose was reflected in almost unanimous agreement at the United Nations and a Security Council resolution. The \"cause was both just and legal\", says Maj-Gen Patrick Cordingley, the 7th Armoured Brigade's commanding officer in \"Desert Storm\" (few will remember it by its British name, \"Operation Granby\".) Importantly, military action complied with both international and UK law, he adds, clarity lacking in the subsequent invasion of Iraq in 2003. The first Gulf War brought together the largest military alliance since the World War Two - more than 30 allies, including Britain, which fielded a force of more than 50,000, the US, Saudi Arabia and Egypt. And it was a conventional fight far simpler than the murky insurgencies, asymmetric and hybrid warfare that would follow. Military revolution Michael Clarke, professor of war studies at Kings College London, says in many ways it was \"the Nato war the West had prepared for, but never fought in Europe\". It was lined up against an Iraqi army that relied heavily on Warsaw Pact equipment and tactics, but without the same discipline and intelligence. The Iraqis proved to be incredibly inept. Prof Clarke says it was also the beginning a \"military revolution\" - the first time we really heard of \"smart bombs\" and precision guided munitions. The world watched as America unleashed wave after wave of Tomahawk cruise missiles. Iraq's arsenal may have been less sophisticated, but, with its Scud missiles and potential use of chemical weapons, it still fuelled the fear factor. And the revolution was not confined to new types of weapons. It came in communication too. Operation Desert Storm: Timeline: First Gulf War Desert Storm was the first televised war in the new era of rolling news - with reports and live broadcasts from the front line - a challenge with which the military is still grappling. Illusions created The air campaign to \"soften up\" the enemy took weeks. The ground offensive was over within days. It was the \"100-hour war\". But a secondary unstated goal was left unfinished. Gen Sir Rupert Smith, who commanded the UK's 1st Armoured Division at the time, says while the objective of liberating Kuwait was achieved, \"the strategic condition was hardly decisive and subsequently had to be maintained by no-fly zones and UN sanctions\". Any attempt to put Saddam Hussein \"back in his box\" or help bring about his demise failed. Prof Clark says the quick military victory created \"many illusions that soon came home to roost\". The hubris would soon come crashing down. The subsequent US-led military interventions in Afghanistan and Iraq were costly enduring campaigns against unconventional armies that would end without any clear victory. In particular, the US-led invasion of Iraq in 2003 showed the limits of US military might and tested the unity of the international order - the UN was bitterly divided. And Gen Cordingley says the British army, now designed to fight wars \"among the people\", would be \"incapable\" of ever again doing anything on the same scale as Desert Storm.

MPs will soon vote on whether to make the UK the first country in the world to legalise the procedure. Opponents say it is unethical to make babies with DNA from three people and that it represents a \"slippery slope\" . The UK scientists that have led the research hope to offer the procedure next year. Some families have lost up to seven children to \"mitochondrial diseases\" that leave the body with insufficient energy to function. Mitochondria are the microscopic power stations in nearly every cell of the body. Defective mitochondria are passed only from mother to child so scientists in the UK have pioneered therapies that use functioning mitochondria from a donor woman. However, mitochondria have a tiny amount of their own DNA so any resulting child would have genetic information from three people. The structure of a cell Nucleus: Where the majority of our DNA is held, which contains the genetic instructions for building and running the human body Mitochondria: Often described as the cells' power stations, these convert energy into a form cells can use. They also contain 0.1% of the total number of genes in a person. Cytoplasm: The jelly like substance that contains the nucleus and mitochondria The regulations put before Parliament state: In practice it means that only the most severely affected women - perhaps 10 cases per year - would go ahead. And doctors in Newcastle, where the technique has been pioneered, would initially be the centre offering it. The regulations will remain in draft form until they are voted on by Parliament and are signed off by ministers. This is expected to take place before the general election in May 2015. Public Health Minister Jane Ellison said: \"The government considers that the time is now right to give Parliament the opportunity to consider and vote on these regulations.\" Delight Prof Doug Turnbull, from Newcastle University, told BBC News: \"I'm delighted that it's being moved forward to the next stage. It's a long process but it's great news. \"We want to apply for a licence next year and hope to do it [the procedure] in 2015.\" A scientific review by the fertility The Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority said there was no evidence that it would be unsafe, but called for final checks. Deadly Baby Jessica was born with Leigh's disease, a type of mitochondrial disease, and she has to be fed through a tube. One in every 6,500 babies has severe mitochondrial disease. \"They did warn us she may not reach her toddler years,\" her mother Victoria Holliday said. She and partner Keith Newell want more children but are unwilling to risk another child suffering in the same way as Jessica. \"It's not fair that if there's a scientific technique out there that could stop this happening in the future that we're not using it,\" Victoria said. Dr David King, from the the campaign group Human Genetics Alert, said: \"This is hi-tech medicine at its worst and most unnecessary. \"Medical researchers are crossing the crucial ethical line that will open the door to designer babies based on scientific misinformation and ignoring majority public opposition. \"There are already safe and reliable ways to avoid these conditions, so why put the child's health at risk purely so that mothers can be genetically related to them?\" How is it done? Two separate techniques are being devised, but they both share the same common principle - take the DNA from the parents and combine it with healthy mitochondria from a female donor. The pronuclear transfer method involves fertilising two eggs and moving the combined parents' DNA into the fertilised donor egg. Spindle transfer is the other way round. The mother's DNA is moved into the donor egg, which is then fertilised. It is unclear whether one method is safer or more effective than the other. However, the team at Newcastle are at a more advanced stage with pronuclear transfer.",

The foundation will also change its name as it is \"no longer appropriate\". Both organisations acknowledged the hurt caused by the association. Sir John Cass's Foundation was set up as an educational charity in 1748. It funds work across London, concentrating especially on projects for young people. On the Foundation's website Sir John Cass is described as \"a merchant and politician, whose wealth posthumously was used to create the Foundation to deliver educational benefits to disadvantaged children\". However, he was also a major figure in the early development of the slave trade and the Atlantic slave economy, directly dealing with slave agents in the African forts and in the Caribbean. The university said on Monday that following broad consultations, its governing council had decided unanimously that continuing to use the name \"was incompatible with City's values of diversity and inclusion\". For now, the business school will be be referred to as City's Business School pending consultations about a new name. Julia Palca, head of the City Council, said: \"We acknowledge the great pain and hurt caused to members of our City and business school community and to many black people by the association of the wchool's name with the slave trade. \"Any continued use of Sir John Cass' name would be seen as condoning someone whose wealth in part derived from the exploitation of slavery. This is incompatible with our values of diversity and inclusivity. We have therefore taken the decision to remove the name.\" 'Hurt and anger' The move comes amid intense debate about the honouring of people with links to the slave trade, which has included some successful demands for the removal of statues. A statue of Edward Colston, a fellow slave trader, was also toppled in Bristol in the wake of international protests following the death of George Floyd in police custody in the US in May. A spokesman for Sir John Cass's Foundation said the charity was also now \"committed to a name change\". A spokesman said: \"We also continued to celebrate Sir John Cass without explaining or acknowledging his connection to slavery and human exploitation or the hurt and anger this has caused amongst our beneficiaries and our community. \"We recognise, acknowledge, seek to understand, and apologise for the public hurt and anger. So let us be clear: we no longer consider the Sir John Cass name appropriate to represent us and the work that we do in this century or in the future.\"",

The experts came back with good news, revealing that the bowl is thought to be worth between $300,000 and $500,000. In fact, it is believed to be one of only seven such bowls in existence and most of the others are in museums.

Clare and her team wanted to investigate illegal blood sports and after speaking to animal welfare organisations they learnt badger baiting was one of the more prolific blood sports in Wales. \"At the time I had heard of it but I had no idea what it actually involved,\" she said. \"What I learned completely shocked me. It's as cruel to the dogs that are encouraged to fight as it is to the badgers themselves.\" \"It's a highly covert activity, insular groups, very difficult to get the information of what they're doing,\" the RSPCA's chief inspector Ian Briggs told the programme. \"Wales has a particular problem because of the remoteness and the ease in which they can carry out their activities. \"They live and breathe taking their dogs out into the countryside to kill wildlife.\" The production team received a tip-off that many badger baiters gather on closed or secret social media groups dedicated to working dogs. \"Most people who own working hunting dogs are hunting legally but we were told for the small minority who hunt with dogs illegally these groups are where they gather to swap photos and stories, and arrange to breed their dogs to create ultimate badger 'killing machines',\" said Clare. \"At the BBC you have to satisfy a very high public interest test before you can go undercover in any way - even online.\" After joining groups dedicated to working dogs the team quickly identified a number of people whose posts looked \"suspect\". \"Nobody would openly discuss killing badgers, but they had code words: a badger was a 'pig', a fox was a 'ginger' or 'teeth',\" she said. \"Badgers have extremely sharp teeth and strong jaws that lock onto their attacker, so hunters would post photos of dogs covered in blood or sometimes tributes to dogs that had died underground. \"Some people would react in the comments by praising or condemning their actions.\" The team had to gather lot of evidence on the actions of individual hunters before they could make an approach. Six months after joining the groups, undercover reporter \"Aaron\" spoke to a member of a group on the phone and she then put him in touch with Thomas Young from Newbridge, Caerphilly. Young had a bull-cross dog and two smaller terriers. He believed \"Aaron\" was keen to try badger baiting and owned a large lurcher. In the programme, during a phone call with 'Aaron', Young invites him to bring his lurcher on a hunt. He is heard saying: \"You want to try your dog, you could try your dog, like. \"Let my dog mangle it… he'll go and then grab it by its throat and its going nowhere like, you know what I mean. \"Then you could slip your dog into it. Then basically the two dogs will kill it.\" On 24 March 2018, \"Aaron\" along with a second undercover journalist he introduces as his friend \"John\", joined Young and three other men - Christian Latcham, Cyle Jones and Jamie Rush, on a trip to a remote area in Llanddewi Velfrey near Narberth in Pembrokeshire. Latcham has a previous conviction for badger baiting in 2011 and has been banned indefinitely from keeping dogs. On the journey there Young tells \"John\": \"There's always a farmer, where we're going it's permission, it's not dodgy like… they want you to go and sort their pest problem out like.\" But Ian Briggs from the RSPCA disagrees: \"A lot of the time they say they are doing a service to the rural community, especially with badgers and things like TB… it's just purely a smokescreen. \"What these people like doing is killing stuff. The vast majority of famers are wholly against this activity.\" After arriving at the site picked for the badger baiting, \"John\" fears Jones and Rush had become suspicious of him: \"They did ask some questions and then went quiet but quickly they got over that then back into the excitement and off they went with quite a bit of speed across the field to the sett that they were targeting,\" he says in the programme. Footage used in the Secret World of Badger Baiters shows the men putting a transmitter collar on a terrier before sending it down a hole in the ground. The men follow the dog's progress from above ground using a locator box which picks up the signal from its collar. After several attempts muffled barks can be heard suggesting a terrier has found its prey. The men can be seen frantically digging into the badger's sett, initially spot the badger but it disappears deeper underground. They believe the badger has thrown an earth wall up underground between it and the terrier so the attempt is abandoned and the dog is taken out and checked over for injuries. Eventually after digging for 10 hours they call it a day. No badger was caught that day but the footage prompted the RSPCA to launch an inquiry after the footage was broadcast in May 2018. The four were arrested and put on trial accused of attempting to kill, injure or take a badger during this incident. On Thursday a district judge found all four men guilty at Cardiff Crown Court. But this is the second time Young and Jones have found themselves in court as a result of filming used in the Wales Investigates programme. In June, the programme's footage - including a Forest of Dean hunt where a badger was killed - formed part of a case against Young and Jones. Young was sentenced to 20 weeks after admitting to six badger and animal cruelty offences. Jones was sentenced to 18 weeks after admitting two charges of unnecessary cruelty to animals, relating to two dogs that were injured. Jones was given a custodial sentence because he was not allowed to keep dogs, having been previously convicted of having a dog dangerously out of control. Clare says: \"The final time our undercover reporters went out on a hunt we got a call to say the hunters had been filmed killing a badger. \"We all had very mixed feelings. \"Badger baiting is so violent, and both the badgers and the dogs suffer, so that was hard to deal with. \"But at that moment we also knew we had taken a big step towards proving this illegal activity was happening in Wales, and that all the work we had put in to investigate these individuals was justified.\" And now the programme makers have seen the men they exposed brought to justice. \"As an investigative journalist, your job is to expose wrongdoing or illegal activity - not to take on the role of the police or prosecutors,\" says Clare. \"Once the programme had been broadcast our job was done - we were pleased to have exposed these men and raised awareness of this illegal activity in Wales.\"",

He said Egypt had a \"great opportunity\" to push for democracy. Mr Cameron also described the violent suppression of protests in neighbouring Libya as \"appalling\". Egypt's long-standing leader Mr Mubarak stood down 10 days ago amid widespread protests against his regime by pro-democracy activists. Speaking on the flight to Cairo, Mr Cameron said: \"This is a great opportunity for us to go and talk to those currently running Egypt to make sure this really is a genuine transition from military rule to civilian rule, and see what friendly countries like Britain and others in Europe can do to help.\" Part of the prime minister's agenda will be a call for the lifting of emergency laws, which have been in place for more than 30 years. Mr Cameron walked through Tahrir Square, the centre of the anti-Mubarak demonstrations, and met figures from the protest movement, although not representatives of the Muslim Brotherhood - the banned Islamic group which is thought to have widespread public support. The prime minister had planned to make a trade-centred tour of the Middle East but altered his schedule to visit Egypt. He told the BBC that Egypt's current military rulers had done some good things in terms of setting out the need for constitutional change, a referendum and parliamentary elections. But he said they need to \"do more, more quickly in terms of ending the state of emergency, allowing political parties to register and freeing political prisoners\". Mr Cameron said he had met \"very brave\" figures from the protest movement who \"don't yet have confidence that this transition is real\". \"As a friend of Egypt we want this transition to happen we want to help encourage the government to take those steps,\" he said. BBC deputy political editor James Landale, who is travelling with Mr Cameron, said it was extraordinary for a British prime minister to engage in full-on diplomacy in a country that was still \"in flux\". He said the prime minister believed that there was a window of opportunity for western leaders to give what his advisers are calling \"candid\" advice, but there was a danger he could be seen as lecturing or as legitimising a temporary regime. But Mr Cameron said it was \"right to come here to say that we support the aspirations of people in Egypt for a more genuine, open democracy\". \"It's not a question of either lecturing or legitimising, it's saying we want Egypt to have a strong and successful future,\" he said. The Egypt visit comes while anti-government protests are raging in Libya and Bahrain. Asked about the violent treatment of demonstrators against Muammar Gaddafi's regime in Libya in recent days, Mr Cameron said: \"We can see what is happening in Libya which is completely appalling and unacceptable as the regime is using the most vicious forms of repression against people who want to see that country, which is one of the most closed and one of the most autocratic, make progress.\" UK Foreign Secretary William Hague has been in Brussels for talks on the violence in Libya.

Test results confirmed the cause of death on Monday. \"The most frustrating and worrying thing is that the cause is unknown making it impossible to give advice on prevention,\" she added. The investigation into the exact cause of the dogs' deaths is being led by Hampshire-based Anderson Moores Veterinary Specialists. They are working with a number of other agencies including the Forestry Commission, the Environment Agency, Suffolk-based Animal Health Trust and local vets. The Forestry Commission has posted signs in potentially affected areas warning dog owners to be vigilant.",

He admitted two counts of human trafficking and one count of keeping a brothel. Lezlie Davies, 61, and 45-year-old Rosana Gomes admitted assisting in managing the brothel. Davies, of Millennium Plaza in Cheltenham, and Gomes, of High Six Gardens in Patchway, Bristol, were also sentenced at Bristol Crown Court and both received 12-month community orders. They were also placed under a 10-week curfew and were ordered to pay £500 costs. A confiscation order was made for Gomes to pay £18,000 that she made through arranging women's appointments at the brothel. Police said Viner was able to fund a lavish lifestyle on a \"modest income\" having rented three penthouse apartments at Millennium Plaza in Cheltenham. He used one as his former home, one as a brothel and another where Davies lived. Gomes acted as the brothel's receptionist, managing the bookings. Viner was arrested in Spain in October and extradited to the UK. He was jailed for five years and nine months and also faces Proceeds of Crime Act proceedings. He admitted two counts of human trafficking, one count of keeping a brothel for prostitution and one count of laundering the proceeds of other criminal activity to the value of £388,000. Det Insp Peter Highway, from the South West Regional Organised Crime Unit, said it was believed hundreds of women, the majority of them Brazilian, had worked there. \"When we tracked some of them down who had moved on to work in brothels in other areas of the country, they gave accounts of being raped at knifepoint and robbed by groups of organised criminals while in the UK,\" he said. \"That is the very dark world traffickers like Mark Viner are bringing women into and it's why it's so important we continue to break the cycle.\"",

The 76-year-old died of pancreatic cancer on Thursday and will be buried at Detroit's Woodlawn cemetery. A memorial service was held at the New Bethel Baptist Church on Sunday, where Franklin first started singing. The Detroit church was also where Franklin's father was a minister. Those inside the church heard a tribute from the Rev Jesse Jackson, who spoke about Franklin's life and career in music. Her connection to the civil rights movement and Martin Luther King was remembered, along with what she did for the local community. Outside the church a memorial was built for Franklin, with fans paying tribute by signing boards and painting a mural with the words \"Rest in respect, Queen\". It was announced on Saturday that the MTV Video Music Awards would include a performance in her honour. It is not yet known which performers will take part in the tribute. Ariana Grande, Jennifer Lopez and Shawn Mendes are among those scheduled to perform at Monday's show at New York's Radio City Music Hall. Jesse Ignjatovic, the show's executive producer, told the Associated Press he was \"working on a lot of different options.\" Franklin's family confirmed last week that a public viewing funeral would take place on 28 and 29 August at Detroit's Charles H Wright Museum of African American History. The venue was reportedly chosen because Rosa Park's viewing took place there in 2005 and because it is to accommodate the thousands of people expected to attend. Franklin was involved with the fight for equality alongside Parks and performed at Martin Luther King's funeral in 1968.

            "input": "By Sean CoughlanBBC News family and education correspondent Most exams will now start from 7 June, rather than mid-May, in an attempt to make up for lost teaching time. Head teachers accused ministers of an \"inadequate response\" to the scale of disruption facing pupils and teachers. Education Secretary Gavin Williamson said further back-up plans would be decided later for \"all scenarios\". The Department for Education says it expects vocational qualifications to also align with this changed timetable. Northern warning There were warnings that running a full set of exams would be unfair to schools in the north of England, which have faced particular disruption from Covid outbreaks. \"They are the ones most likely to have been impacted by school closures following year group bubbles of pupils having to be sent home,\" said Sarah Mulholland of the Northern Powerhouse lobbying group. Exam boards, represented by the Joint Council for Qualifications, said the \"trade off\" of a later start would be a more \"compressed\" exam timetable, with the same number of exams across a shorter number of days. But Mr Williamson said: \"Exams are the fairest way of judging a student's performance so they will go ahead, underpinned by contingency measures developed in partnership with the sector. \"Students have experienced considerable disruption and it's right we give them, and their teachers, the certainty that exams will go ahead and more time to prepare.\" Call for clarity The promised \"contingency measures\" will address how exams will be further adapted in the face of local lockdowns and if exams cannot go ahead as planned. But head teachers were angry at the lack of a decision over what those contingency plans might be - and what information they should be gathering in case exams are cancelled again and grades have to be estimated. The delayed start date - proposed by ministers in June - was described by heads' union leader Geoff Barton as of \"marginal benefit\" compared with the amount of lost teaching time from the pandemic. He said it had \"taken an eternity\" for the government's response - which he warned still did not address how exams could be a level playing field for pupils who had faced different levels of disruption. Pupils due to take exams have already have lost months of teaching time - and many are still facing further disruption, with almost one in five secondary schools sending home pupils because of Covid cases. Mary Bousted, co-leader of the National Education Union, said it was a \"dereliction of duty\" that there was still no decision on a \"fall-back\" plan if exams are further disrupted. She said the announcement was an \"appalling example of political ideology trumping practical reality\". But Glenys Stacey, interim head of Ofqual, said the announcement would \"optimise the time now available\" and provided certainty over what schools needed to teach. \"Of course, we will need contingency plans. We are discussing with government, exam boards and the sector, the detail of that - taking into account the risk of disruption at an individual, local and regional level,\" she said. Her predecessor had resigned after the chaos of trying to produce replacement grades, when exams had been cancelled. What students say about it \"I am taking my A-levels next year and I don't feel confident at all about the delaying of exams and I feel it doesn't address the inequality in education that has occurred due to large numbers of students self-isolating,\" said Keira from London. And she says there needs to be a plan that will be fair \"in the event of exams not taking place\". Another A-level student, Stephen from Devon, backed the decision to press ahead with exams as fairest option. \"I would be very disappointed not to be given the opportunity to prove my ability to exam boards to achieve the grade I truly deserve, not one generated by an algorithm or even allocated by a teacher,\" he said. Hannah from Leicester said it would be unfair not to reduce how much will still need to be studies for A-levels. \"The loss of teaching time means we should be able to have less content for our final exam.\" Cut-back exams The modifications to exams will be those previously put forward by the Ofqual qualifications watchdog - which Mr Barton, leader of the ASCL head teachers' union, had described as \"only tinkering at the edges\". These included removing field trips from geography and reducing the areas needed to be covered for English literature. Teachers' unions had suggested that questions should be structured differently next year - such as providing more options so that pupils would be able to answer a question on a topic they had studied, no matter how much of the course their school had managed to cover. Mr Williamson said results days for A-levels and GCSEs next year will be in the same week - 24 August for A-levels and 27 August for GCSEs. The universities minister has already said that universities could change their autumn term dates if they needed to accommodate school exams being pushed back. The announcement for England is a less radical approach than Scotland, where last week exams for National 5 qualifications were cancelled, replacing them with teacher assessments and course work, while still going ahead with Higher exams. Scotland's education secretary had said it was \"too big a risk\" to plan a full set of exams when there was so much uncertainty about the impact of the pandemic in the months ahead. In Northern Ireland, exams are going ahead but with reductions in course content and a delayed starting date - plus the promise of a contingency plan. Are you sitting GCSEs or A-levels next year?

Tensions have risen since a visit to the islands by South Korea's leader. Japan wants international arbitration over the islands, but South Korea has rejected the proposal. Last month Japan briefly recalled its ambassador to Seoul in protest over a surprise visit to the islands by President Lee Myung-bak. South Korea, which controls the islands, has maintained a small police force there since 1954. \"The exercise is carried out under the scenario in which coast guard takes a leading role in repelling foreign civilians invading territorial waters near Dokdo or trying to land on Dokdo,\" Col Lee Boong-woo was reported as saying by Yonhap news agency. South Korea has decided to exclude exercises that involve landing on the islands in a move that is ''mindful'' of the diplomatic row with Japan, the Yonhap report said. Previous exercises had involved marines landing on the island, it added. The row between the two countries over the islands - which are roughly equidistant from both - has flared sporadically in recent years, amid lingering antipathy over historical issues. Mr Lee's visit on 10 August - the first by a South Korean president - was followed by relay swim by 40 South Koreans to the islands to mark the anniversary of the country's liberation from Japan in 1945. Japan is also embroiled in another territorial row with China in the East China Sea. Both countries claim islands known as Senkaku in Japan and Diaoyu in China. Reports suggest the Japanese government has reached a deal to buy the islands from their private Japanese owner, potentially further raising tensions with China. Leaders of all three nations are due at the Apec (Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation) summit in Vladivostock this weekend. But Japanese Foreign Minister Koichiro Gemba said Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda was unlikely to hold bilateral meetings with Chinese and South Korean counterparts \"I think it will be better not to make (meetings) official,\" Kyodo news agency quoted him as saying.",

Thompsons solicitors said the operations were carried out by surgeon Ian Paterson between 1994 and 2011 He has been suspended by the General Medical Council (GMC). Mr Paterson is accused of performing \"cleavage sparing\" mastectomies at Solihull Hospital, Good Hope Hospital in Sutton Coldfield and two private hospitals owned by Spire Healthcare in Solihull and Little Aston, Staffordshire. He was told to stop performing the surgery by the Heart of England NHS Trust in 2007. It found that the procedure, which left a small amount of tissue for cosmetic reasons, breached national guidelines because of the risk of the cancer returning.

Spire Healthcare said it was continuing to investigate the practice of Mr Paterson in conjunction with the GMC and the NHS Trust.

Hopkins is known for her controversial opinions and regularly attracts criticism for her views. She has continued tweeting since LBC's announcement but has not yet referred to her own departure. Hopkins is also a Mail Online columnist and appeared in Celebrity Big Brother in 2015, finishing in second place. Both LBC and Hopkins declined to comment further when contacted by the BBC. Her two-hour programme was broadcast every Sunday morning and saw her review the week's news and take calls from listeners. This week, she caused anger with when she tweeted that there must be a \"final solution\" in dealing with terrorists following the Manchester terror attack. Some followers questioned her use of the phrase \"final solution\" - a term used by the Nazis to refer to the Holocaust - but later Hopkins altered it to \"true solution\", describing the earlier version as a \"mis-type\". But some Twitter users drew the comments to the attention of the Metropolitan Police, claiming they could incite racial or religious hatred. The Metropolitan Police confirmed the matter was being \"reviewed and assessed by specialist officers\". After Hopkins made the comments, another LBC presenter, James O'Brien, described on air the \"shame\" he felt about sharing a platform with her. He called Hopkins \"a monstrous self-publicist\" who \"employs the most vile of thoughts and language in a desperate attempt to stay relevant and get noticed\". Earlier this year, food writer Jack Monroe won £24,000 in damages, plus £107,000 in legal costs, in a libel action against Hopkins after a row over two tweets, which Monroe said caused \"serious harm\" to her reputation. Hopkins was later told she could not appeal against the ruling. In December, she apologised to a Muslim family she accused of being extremists after they were refused entry to the US for a Disneyland trip. Mail Online, which published her claim, also paid £150,000 in libel damages to the Mahmood family.

Jurors were previously shown photographs of the 22-year-old wearing Ku Klux Klan robes while cradling his baby - who was given the middle name Adolf.

The plane was diverted to Alaska. The story was widely picked up by international media, including the BBC. But in Taiwan, where the woman is from, it has been met with scepticism. Many there have asked how she was able to board a plane so late in her pregnancy, and what her motivations were for doing so. Some, including MPs, have even alleged - without proof - that she was rushing to the US so her child could be a US citizen, and had lied about her pregnancy to get on board. They say she could be handed a bill for the cost of the diversion. Suspicions raised The speculation began online shortly after the birth made the news last week, and continued when the unnamed woman was deported back to Taiwan from the US on Saturday, refusing media interviews. The baby remains in the US in the care of a friend, according to reports. A recent Facebook post by a former China Airlines stewardess containing even more damaging allegations about the woman only fuelled suspicions. At a legislature meeting on Monday, several MPs pressed Transport Minister Chen Jianyi on the matter - as the Taiwan government is the majority shareholder of China Airlines, lawmakers demanded to know if taxpayers' money had been \"wasted\" on diverting the plane. Kuomintang legislator Lo Shu-lei alleged that the woman was responsible for the diversion, estimated to have cost the airline tens of thousands of dollars, \"because she wanted a US passport\" for her child. Mr Chen said he would direct China Airlines to see if the woman could pay compensation. The airline, meanwhile, has said it does not allow passengers who are more than 32 weeks into their pregnancy to board without a doctor's note. It said it allowed the woman, who did not have a medical note, to board because she had told staff she was in an earlier stage in her pregnancy. \"We are advising our insurance companies to check if she had reached 32 weeks in her pregnancy at the time of her boarding,\" a spokesman told the BBC. Political worries Sociologist Pei-chia Lan told the BBC the uproar has tapped into a deeper resentment over the trend of \"birth tourism\" among affluent Taiwanese, as well as an upsurge in nationalism. \"The common criticism, whether justified or not, is that the woman was acting selfishly and putting her interests before everyone else's,\" says Prof Lan, who is with the National Taiwan University. The fact that the US grants citizenship to babies born there has attracted thousands in recent years. Entering the US on a tourist visa for medical reasons remains legal as long as mothers fulfil certain requirements, such as paying for their own hospital care. It ties in with the concept of \"flexible citizenship\" held by upper middle-class families, says Prof Lan, where they \"gain multiple passports for their children to maximise their economic opportunities\". In Taiwan's case, birth tourism has also been fuelled by worries about the country's political future and the ever-present spectre of possible reunification with China, an idea that many Taiwanese oppose amid rising nationalism. \"One of the reasons why this may have become so big is because of resentment about class privilege, and also the implication that Taiwanese citizenship is somehow devalued,\" says Prof Lan. Self-confessed birth tourists have in turn defended the practice. Taiwanese blogger Haidizizi made waves in May when she wrote about her own experience of travelling to the US to give birth. \"It's not because I don't love Taiwan, but I don't want my little darling to have to switch to a red Chinese passport in the future!\" she wrote.",

As part of its policy review, Labour has set up a commission on the affordability of childcare. In June the coalition launched a review of childcare to see how it can be made more affordable by cutting red tape. Labour will hold a series of \"listening events\" across England to \"engage in a genuine dialogue with parents on their childcare needs\". Speaking at the first event in Swindon, shadow education secretary Stephen Twigg said: \"David Cameron told us that his would be the most family friendly government in Europe. \"Since 2010 over 30,000 women have chosen not to seek employment because of the costs associated with working, including childcare.\" The party says more needs to be done to make sure the tax and benefit system does not punish mothers who decide to work and a \"real, professional\" childcare service should be made available. Yvette Cooper, shadow minister for women and equalities said: \"This government's continued blind spot on women is letting families down and undermining the economy too as many mothers are being forced to give up work or turn down jobs because of childcare problems.\" The government recently launched their own commission on childcare, which will focus on deregulation, child-minding and how to expand wrap-around care for schoolchildren. The commission, led by Children's Minister Sarah Teather and Work and Pensions Minister Maria Miller, is expected to report back to the prime minister and the deputy prime minister in the autumn. At the time of its launch David Cameron said: \"Working parents want to know that after school or in the holidays their children will be looked after in a safe, happy environment that is affordable. \"We want to do all we can to reduce the cost of childcare for parents, and make sure they can find and afford high quality nurseries, after-school clubs and holiday schemes for their children.\"",

Speaking of the singer, Fearne Cotton said: \"I was always a massive fan of Michael Jackson himself. \"Without him there's a whole generation of performers and entertainers who might never have got their break in music. \"His contribution was crucial and his premature death a complete tragedy.\" Jackson trial The concert was initially announced by the star's mother Katherine.

Speaking to Newsbeat on 16 September Jermaine Jackson criticised the timing of the concert which will clash with the continuing trial of Dr Conrad Murray. \"It's bad timing because it's two weeks into the trial,\" he said. \"It's good to celebrate, good to keep the legacy alive, but everything has its time.\" Last month the organiser of the Michael Jackson tribute concert Chris Hunt defended the event saying that he has the \"overwhelming majority\" of the Jackson family behind him. He told Newsbeat the event \"reminds people just how fantastic Michael Jackson was\", and rejected the idea that the concert will be \"inappropriate\". But Jermaine Jackson said: \"We're all focused on getting justice for Michael, the best tribute we can do for him is getting justice and making sure we get justice as a family as to what happened.\" Prosecutors claim Conrad Murray caused the pop star's death by giving him a powerful anaesthetic, Propofol, to help him sleep.

            "input": "Is this saying we, as a nation, will be £122bn worse off because of Brexit? Not quite. The figure of £122bn is from the Office of Budget Responsibility, which checks all the government's figures. In essence it has calculated that the economy will grow more slowly in the next few years, to the end of the current Parliament. Tax revenues will not be as strong as previously forecast, but only just half of that, about £59bn, is attributed directly to the aftermath of the Brexit vote. The rest is due to things like changed government policy decisions. But the OBR reckons the government will have to borrow £122bn more than it expected over that time. Are the savings made from austerity cuts being used to shrink the deficit or help pay for tax cuts? A bit of both. The chancellor has a juggling act to perform with the government finances: how to balance spending with income. Spending less (or at least restraining its growth) gives him scope to cut taxes for some people (such as raising the annual allowance) or to reduce the Budget deficit (the gap between his spending and his tax receipts). As you may have noticed, reducing that annual Budget deficit was something of an obsession for the last Chancellor, George Osborne, and it was his primary justification for his austerity policies. Now, Philip Hammond, has deferred that ambition, pushing the target of having a balanced Budget over the horizon into the next Parliament. Who are we actually borrowing from? And who are we in such massive debt to? The national debt (as we used to call it) stands at £1.6 trillion It has risen rapidly since the great banking crisis of 2007-08 and the subsequent recession. This huge sum consists mainly of money borrowed in the past by the government to cover the gaps between its annual spending (as detailed in each annual Budget) and the money it receives from taxation. The extra cash is typically raised by the government selling bonds, which are glorified IOUs. These are usually bought by professional investors around the world who like the guaranteed interest they receive plus the promise of getting their money back when the bond matures. At the moment, the Bank of England actually owns about a third of all the UK government bonds in issue, as for several years it has been buying them from investors under its policy quantitative easing. When will the letting fees ban come into force? Chancellor Hammond revealed no details of his plan, but his tone suggested an outright ban on up-front fees paid by tenants to letting agents. The government's formal Autumn Statement document says only that the government will now consult on what the new law should look like. So there will be plenty of scope for lobbying and campaigning by interested parties. But there are no details or timetable yet. Are sub-letting fees included - as the owner of a leasehold property which is let out, I am forced to pay over £100 to register new tenants? We do not know yet. The whole idea of abolishing letting agents' fees will now be the subject of consultation. There has been no detail at all from the government. What are the chancellors' plans for resolving the banking crisis? The chancellor did not address these issues in his speech, apart from blaming the last recession on the last Labour government. The Autumn Statement document merely restates the plan to (eventually) sell the government stakes in RBS and Lloyds. If it is of any consolation, £102m of fines on banks will be given over the next four years to armed forces and emergency services charities and \"other related good causes\". Is there anything for first-time buyers? The chancellor did not directly address first-time buyers (FTBs). But in theory the plan to provide another 40,000 \"affordable\" homes in the next five years should benefit FTBs. The money underpinning this should go, in part, to help fund shared-ownership schemes, in which tenants' bills are divided between rent and mortgage payments. And also to fund the \"rent to buy\" scheme, under which tenants pay a reduced rent while they save for a deposit and can put it down as a deposit after five years. Will the state pension go up? The chancellor says that he will keep, for the time being, the \"triple lock\" policy. That guarantees that the state pension goes up by the greater of: the growth in average earnings; the growth of CPI inflation; or 2.5%. So no change. Does the increased personal allowance apply to pensioners? Yes, it certainly does. Pensioners pay income tax like everyone else, on their pension income, earnings (if any), interest from savings and dividends from investments. And they get the benefit of the personal tax allowance too. Will this investment in \"40,000 new affordable homes\" be spread fairly and evenly across England? That will depend on which councils, housing associations and builders bid for the government's funds to pay for their plans. Any mention of tax measures on landlords' buy-to-let mortgage interest? No, the plans in the pipeline were not addressed. So you can assume the previously announced changes will come into effect. From April 2017, but phased in over four years, the traditional tax relief available to landlords, on their mortgage interest payments, will be reduced to just the basic income tax rate of 20%. What are the details re changes to flat-rate VAT scheme? The government says it will bring in \"a new 16.5% rate from 1 April 2017 for businesses with limited costs, such as many labour-only businesses. This will help level the playing field, while maintaining the accounting simplification for the small businesses that use the scheme as intended.\" For those businesses affected, this will mean paying more. The government forecasts that this will bring in more than £100m a year extra, for the five years from 2017-18. The details are here. What are the benefit rates for 2017-18? The current rates for 2016-17 are all set out here and in this Department for Work and Pensions leaflet. New rates have not yet been published. However you may recall that back in 2015, the then Chancellor George Osborne announced a freeze on some benefits to last for four years, from April 2016. Specifically, he said that working-age benefits would be frozen - including tax credits and local housing allowance, but maternity pay and disability benefits would be exempted. So, some of your benefits may not rise next year. With childcare, does that mean everyone will be entitled to 30 hours help from 2017 September? Not quite. If you have young children who need child care, the government is trying to make making good its 2015 election promise. Today the government said: \"Tax-Free Childcare will be introduced gradually from early 2017, with roll out beginning upon completion of the trial. Once the scheme is fully rolled out, the government will review its operation to ensure it is delivering as intended and to assess the benefit it is delivering for working parents.\" So it will start next year. Remember, though, the government announced in the 2015 Autumn Spending Review that the new policy would not benefit families earning more than £100,000 a year. In July this year, HM Revenue & Customs published this guidance which said that \"All eligible parents will be able to join the scheme by the end of 2017.\" So the end of next year is the official target for a full roll-out of the scheme. What happened to a possible change in Air Passenger Duty? The airport industry lobbied for the duty to be cut in half. It looks as if they were resoundingly ignored. Is there anything in it for savers? It always seems to be about keeping interest rates low these days. Actually, yes. National Savings & Investments (the Premium Bond people) will soon offer a three-year savings bond offering (probably) interest of 2.2%. The bond will have a minimum investment limit of £100 and a maximum limit of £3,000. It will be available for 12 months from next spring. Does this mean I'll be taxed on my company mobile phone in future? There are complicated rules for the taxation (or not) of mobile phones supplied to staff by employers. You can enjoy them here: https://www.gov.uk/expenses-and-benefits-mobile-phones/overview These are not being changed and cover most cases where someone is supplied with just one phone by their employer. What the government is changing are the rules where benefits-in-kind (such as an extra mobile phone) are supplied under a deal known as \"salary sacrifice\". If the phone is supplied under one of these - perhaps to another member of your family - you will have to pay tax on it in the future. The government says: \"The tax and employer national insurance advantages of salary sacrifice schemes will be removed from April 2017, except for arrangements relating to pensions (including advice), childcare, Cycle to Work and ultra-low emission cars.\" \"This will mean that employees swapping salary for benefits will pay the same tax as the vast majority of individuals who buy them out of their post-tax income. Arrangements in place before April 2017 will be protected until April 2018.\"",

But giving money away was easier than collecting it for \"a populist government\", he added. A No 10 spokeswoman said she \"doesn't recognise\" his characterisation of a government reluctant to be unpopular. She added that the pandemic had shown Boris Johnson was \"a prime minister that is prepared to take difficult decisions and is weighing up very hard choices at the moment\". The Budget on Wednesday comes amid rising unemployment and follows the biggest UK annual economic shrinkage on record. In an interview with BBC political editor Laura Kuenssberg, Lord Hammond - who resigned as chancellor when Boris Johnson became prime minister in 2019 - said the economy had taken a \"huge hit\" from Covid-19, but should \"bounce back\". There had been \"long-term scarring\", with sectors like aviation and hospitality suffering \"permanent damage\", and transport and retail \"changed forever\", he added. Official figures show the UK economy contracted by 9.9% in 2020 - more than twice as much as in any previous year on record. On Tuesday, it was revealed unemployment had risen to 5.1% in the three months to December - the worst rate since 2015. And the national debt - worsened by furlough, other pandemic help schemes and falling tax takes - stands at more than £2 trillion. Lord Hammond said it was unlikely in the \"foreseeable future\" that ministers would be able to \"do anything that will actually see the debt starting to fall\". \"But what matters is not the absolute size of the debt, but the size of the debt relative to our economy,\" he said. \"If we can grow the British economy over the coming years, then just as we did after the Second World War, we can make the debt fade in significance, because, although it stays the same in absolute terms, it becomes a much smaller percentage of our national economy.\" Philip Hammond has never been Boris Johnson's number one fan, to put it mildly. They clashed on Brexit, with the former chancellor being booted out of Parliamentary Conservative Party during the wild political autumn of 2019. But even though he is back in the party fold, and with the ermine of a Tory member of the House of Lords no less, the former occupant of No 11 isn't mincing his words. While he sticks to the broad consensus backing the government's massive emergency economic support during the pandemic, Lord Hammond looks very pointedly to the challenges that will come next, questioning whether Downing Street will have the right priorities. His not very subtle implication: Downing Street would rather be popular than do the right thing. Read more from Laura here. Lord Hammond said the challenge facing the government was \"how to move out of this crisis period\". He praised Mr Sunak for getting the economic response right so far and said he was \"very confident\" his instincts were \"the right ones\". But he said his fear was \"that as a populist government, giving money away is always easier than collecting it in\", and warned that ministers had \"made very extravagant commitments to the British electorate in good faith before the coronavirus crisis\". \"Not all of those commitments can now sensibly be delivered on and that's going to be a big challenge for a government that regards its short-term popularity as very, very important,\" Lord Hammond added. He said he was \"not sure\" the current \"top leadership\" had the \"appetite for being unpopular, in order to do the right thing\". The prime minister has said the chancellor will set out the government's plans to \"build back better\" in next Wednesday's Budget. Mr Sunak has promised to lay out the \"support we'll provide through the remainder of the pandemic and our recovery\", adding: \"I know how incredibly tough the past year has been for everyone, and every job lost is a personal tragedy.\" A Treasury spokesman added: \"The chancellor has always put protecting jobs and livelihoods at the heart of everything he has done and that will not change. \"This Budget will give people the reassurance they need in the immediate term, and he will be honest with the British people about how we are going to recover beyond this crisis.\" Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer said it was \"not the time\" for tax increases for individuals or businesses, given the ongoing impact of the pandemic. 'We need some help now' James Green, who runs the Whitstable Oyster Company in Kent, says the impact of the pandemic has been \"tough\". \"Obviously there's Covid-19 at the beginning of the year, which affected us, the restaurant side of the business and the oyster sales. We were open over the summer. We were busy, like most coastal places, and then we shut again in November.\" But Mr Green adds: \"For the oyster side of the business the impact of Brexit is probably had more of an effect than Covid-19, I would say.\" As a result of Britain leaving the single market, he says he has tons of oysters sitting on his farm that he cannot sell either to France or domestically. Mr Green says the chancellor should give the shellfish industry \"some help to get us through now - otherwise there won't be one\".",

The United Arab Emirates has denied the reports, and says she has been living at home with her family. The incident caused concern among international human rights groups, who asked authorities to prove her safety. On Monday, the UAE's foreign ministry said it had sent a communiqué regarding Sheikha Latifa to the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights' Office of Special Procedures. In a statement, it said the message \"responds to and rebuts false allegations\" about the princess. The images it released show Sheikha Latifa alongside Mary Robinson, the former UN High Commissioner for Human Rights and former president of Ireland, and were purportedly taken on 15 December in Dubai. \"Photographs taken during the afternoon they spent together have been shared, with their consent,\" the UAE's statement said. \"During her visit to Dubai, Mary Robinson was reassured that HH Sheikha Latifa is receiving the necessary care and support she requires.\" The United Nations has not yet responded to the statement. Sheikha Latifa - the daughter of Dubai's ruler - is said to have tried to flee in an attempt to live a freer life abroad. The 33-year-old was reportedly helped in her attempt to escape by Herve Jaubert, a former French spy. His yacht she was travelling on, the Nostromo, was then reportedly intercepted less than 80 km (50 miles) from the Indian coast. Mr Jaubert alleges the princess was then then taken onto a helicopter and forcibly returned, despite professing her will to seek asylum abroad. After she allegedly went missing, a video was released showing her discussing a planned effort to escape. \"If you're watching this video, it's not such a good thing. Either I'm dead or I'm in a very very very bad situation,\" she said near the beginning of the 40-minute clip. In the video, she alleges she and her family \"did not have freedom of choice\" in their lives, and discussed an earlier effort to leave the country aged 16. She alleges she was imprisoned for three years and tortured repeatedly on her return. Earlier this month, the UAE's government released its first statement about her apparent disappearance in which it said it was \"deeply saddened by the continued media speculation\" about Sheikha Latifa.

Mr Gyimah was one of the 21 Tories who had the Conservative whip removed after rebelling against Boris Johnson in a bid to prevent a no-deal Brexit. Last December, the East Surrey MP quit as science and universities minister in a row over Theresa May's Brexit deal. The 43-year-old briefly stood in the race to become Conservative Party leader after Mrs May quit. The Lib Dems currently have 18 MPs, having been boosted by a victory in the Brecon and Radnorshire by-election and the defections. Mr Gyimah told BBC News that \"the hard Brexiteers have won in the Conservative party - it is a hard Brexit party\". \"There just aren't enough Conservatives like me,\" he said, explaining his decision to join the Liberal Democrats. \"If I want to fight for the values for which I came into politics.. the values of tolerance, the values of being sensible and pragmatic and acting in the interest of the country, then the Liberal Democrats is where I can do that from.\" Not long ago at Westminster, if you were on the hunt for a smile, you wouldn't bother with the Lib Dems. There weren't many of them, for a start, and those left were the last survivors of a near apocalypse for the party; shrivelled, ignored and drowned out. Not any more. They are bouncy, tiggerish and expanding. They hope their clarity on Brexit - win an election and scrap it - will win favour with Remain inclined voters who may find Labour's pitch rather more ambiguous. But their newbies face a big challenge: can they, realistically, win the seats they currently hold as Liberal Democrats? Or will they go hunting for more fertile Lib Dem territory elsewhere - potentially dislodging long standing local party stalwarts? Addressing the Liberal Democrats conference in Bournemouth, Mr Gyimah said: \"There is now no orderly way for the UK to leave the EU on October 31. \"If the prime minister got a deal at the European Council on October 17 and 18, it would not be possible for us to leave on October 31 in an orderly way.\" He added that the government has been left in a position where \"no-deal\" is the only outcome that can be delivered. He said he had been \"disheartened\" by the way the whipping process \"had been framed... for us MPs to choose our careers, in other words our own salaries, over putting the country first.\" Mr Gyimah, who has been sitting as an Independent after losing the Conservative whip, has been a prominent advocate for a second referendum. He previously signalled his intention to stand as an independent candidate in East Surrey in the event of a snap general election. Who is Sam Gyimah? Mr Gyimah was born in Beaconsfield, in Buckinghamshire. When he was six years old, his parents split up and he moved with his mother to her native Ghana, while his father remained in the UK. He attended Achimota school, a state school in the capital of Accra, before returning to the UK to complete his GCSEs and A-levels at Freman College, a comprehensive in Hertfordshire. Mr Gyimah went on to win a place at Somerville College, Oxford, to read philosophy, politics and economics (PPE), and served as president of the Oxford Union in 1997. An Arsenal fan, he worked for Goldman Sachs for five years as an investment banker before moving into politics, standing unsuccessfully for Camden council elections in 2006. In 2010 he became the MP for East Surrey and had been in Westminster for two years when he was made parliamentary private secretary to the then PM David Cameron. He went on to become a government whip in 2013 and childcare and education minister a year later, before becoming prisons minister in 2016 and universities minister after that. The married father-of-two quit as universities minister in December last year over Theresa May's Brexit deal. He was introduced to delegates at the conference by the party's leader Jo Swinson as the \"newest Liberal Democrat MP\". Speaking to the conference, Mr Gyimah said he did not take the decision to join the Lib Dems lightly and had started reconsidering his position in the Tories while Mrs May negotiated her deal with the EU. But he said his concerns with the Conservative party now \"go beyond Brexit\". \"The values we have taken for granted for so long in our country... are under threat,\" Mr Gyimah said. \"What Jo and I discussed are the Liberal Democrats have a unique opportunity to fight to defend those values and create a new force in British politics. That is why I find myself here today.\" He said \"the problem is not just on the Conservative side. When I look across the aisle, I also see on the Labour benches the same issue I have seen on the Conservative side, a doctrinaire, intolerant approach which means centrists are being squeezed out\". Mr Gyimah's move was welcomed by Lib Dem MPs. Mr Umunna tweeted he was \"absolutely delighted\" and Layla Moran said: \"Welcome... So delighted to have you on the team\". Chris White, a former government adviser, told the BBC it was \"extremely disappointing\" to see Mr Gyimah join the Lib Dems because he \"stood on a manifesto pledge to deliver the referendum and here he is switching to a party which is manifestly not going to do that\". A bid by Mr Johnson for an autumn general election has so far been rejected by MPs who wanted to first make sure a bill designed to avoid a no-deal Brexit became law. But since the bill, which seeks to force Mr Johnson to ask for a extension to the deadline, has been given Royal Assent, opposition MPs are preparing to start their general election campaigns. As the Lib Dem conference opened, Ms Swinson said the party's anti-Brexit message should be \"unequivocal\" in a general election campaign. She expressed her hopes that members would back her policy proposal of scrapping Brexit without another referendum.",

And the best dressed goes to.... Actor Billy Porter, who has won both a Tony and a Grammy for his role in Kinky Boots, stunned the red carpet in a custom tuxedo-gown. The star of US drama TV series Pose told Vogue he's \"always been inspired by fashion\" and that his outfits are all about coming to terms with his gay identity. Jada Pinkett Smith was also a big fan of the look and thanked Billy for \"saving Black History Month\". Fashion fans have been raving about his Christian Siriano dress, for its perfect mix of the masculine and feminine. It costs how much? Did you recognise the diamond in Lady Gaga's necklace when she stepped onto the red carpet? The rock, known as the Tiffany Diamond, was worn by Audrey Hepburn in 1961 (in a different setting) for promotional shots for Breakfast at Tiffany's. Jewellery giant Tiffany said it had released the gem - reported to be worth as much as $50 million (£38 million) - from its vault \"specifically for Lady Gaga\". First discovered in South Africa in 1877, the 128.54-carat yellow diamond is thought to be one of the biggest in the world. Gaga teamed the jewel with diamond earrings, elbow-length gloves and a black strapless Alexander McQueen gown with structured hips and a fishtail hem. Selma Blair inspires at Vanity Fair's party Selma Blair made her first public appearance since announcing she had been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. She attended the Vanity Fair Oscars party in a dress, cape and walking stick. Many people commented on her bravery and how her story could inspire others who may also have the condition. Superman-worthy capes Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's a bunch of celebrities wearing some pretty cool caped gowns. Glenn Close, nominated for best actress for The Wife, wore a stunning gold lamé cape dress on the red carpet. Melissa McCarthy, who was nominated for best actress for Can You Ever Forgive Me?, also jumped on the cape vibe in a black and white ensemble. Villanelle vibes It seems that Killing Eve's favourite assassin has a few celebrity fans, judging by some of the looks on the red carpet. Jodie Comer better look out, as she could have some rivals to contend with when season two comes around. American actress Linda Cardellini wore fuchsia taffeta on the red carpet. She stars in Green Book and A Simple Favour. Crazy Rich Asians' Awkwafina served some serious looks in her glittery lilac tuxe by Dsquared 2. US singer Kacey Musgraves also looked pretty in baby pink - her dress is from the Giambattista Valli spring 2019 collection. Red carpet rainbow While last year's awards season was dominated by sombre colours as celebrities came out to support the #MeToo and Time's Up movements, 2019's Oscars were full of every colour of the rainbow. Dame Helen Mirren led the fashion pack in a vibrant Schiaparelli gown, complete with multi-toned pink chiffon and some seriously sparkling jewels. Emma Stone and Rachel Weisz, who were both nominated for best supporting actress for The Favourite, fully embraced colour on the Oscars red carpet. Emma wore a brown and gold Louis Vuitton dress, while Rachel rocked a red floral vinyl dress. New hair, new me? Charlize Theron got the internet talking when she rocked the red carpet in a powder blue Dior gown and a brunette bob. All hail Queen Melissa McCarthy Melissa McCarthy presented the award for best costume in perhaps the most show-stealing look yet, a Tudor frock covered in fluffy (toy) rabbits. This paid homage to Olivia Colman's portrayal of Queen Anne's pet rabbits in The Favourite. McCarthy's skit with Brian Tyree Henry, who looked equally fetching, set social media alight.

The 38-year-old filled his bunker with a drum kit and a games console as well as an ejector bed - built and designed by him. Meanwhile, a dad who built a cool shed for his daughter is the first category winner of best cabin and summerhouse. Ben Swanborough, from Surrey, was given £500 in savings by 12-year-old Elsie and constructed a mushroom-shaped house. Ben's Mushroom Shed is a two-storey building in Chiddingfold including a hidden trapdoor and a porch swing. The pair were revealed in the first episode of the new series of Channel 4's Amazing Spaces Shed Of The Year. The winners go up against six other category winners in a final battle, with the overall winner being crowned in September. This shed with a boat on its roof, owned by Alex Holland from Machynlleth in Powys, won the competition back in 2013. In 2014, the winner was the Allotment Roof Shed by Joel Bird from north London. Rainwater from the roof flows off through a down pipe to water his herbs and there's a little staircase leading to a tin bath where Joel can have a summer soak. He still builds custom made sheds. A year later, it was Walter Micklethwait's Inshriach Distillery which won shed of the year. It used to be a dilapidated hen house and an assorted pile of old junk. The Edwardian country house on an estate near Aviemore beat more than 2,500 other entries to take the title. And in 2016 it was the turn of Kevin Herbert's West Wing in Berkshire. The shed is made from 90% recycled materials and took him eight years to build. Find us on Instagram at BBCNewsbeat and follow us on Snapchat, search for bbc_newsbeat",

Tunisia's shared border with Libya, already by then a haven for extremist Islamist militants, was as porous as a sieve. A lot has changed since then. 'Training the trainers' Although Britain initially upset Tunisia by changing its travel advice to warn against all but essential travel to the country, hurting the tourist industry by effectively advising British tourists not to go there, it has put enormous efforts into helping Tunisia improve its security. Under a scheme run jointly by the Foreign Office and the Home Office, a team of police officers has been deployed from National Counter Terrorism Police headquarters, including specialists in the protection of airports, hotels and resorts and other tourist locations. Together with a team from France, the British experts have been focussing on aviation security, visiting seven Tunisian airports that have all had direct flight connections to the UK, looking at ways to improve security, notably passenger and cargo screening. Alongside the French, Britain's policemen have also been \"training the trainers\", helping Tunisia to set up its own cadre of trainers, teaching them current best practice on how to react to bomb threats or a marauding firearms attack similar to those suffered by Tunisia in 2015. An overseas training film on how to respond to a terrorist attack is now being distributed, similar to the one issued by the police here entitled \"Run, Hide, Tell\". A Whitehall official told the BBC that the aim was to improve the way people respond to an attack, including not just the police and military but hoteliers and other staff at resorts. Since the Sousse attack Tunisia has built a 125-mile border wall with Libya, known as a \"berm\", to try to prevent jihadists crossing over from so-called Islamic State and other training camps. The US and Germany have been the lead advisers here but the UK has provided CCTV equipment and training. British cyber analysts have also been advising the Tunisian authorities on how to find and take down extremist content online. Britain's efforts are part of a G7-plus international initiative to help improve Tunisia's security. It involves all the G7 nations as well as Spain, Belgium, EU, Switzerland and Turkey. In December 2016 Tunisia's minister of the interior came to London and signed a comprehensive memorandum of understanding with Home Secretary Amber Rudd on counter terrorism and counter extremism. Foreign Office Minister, Tobias Elwood, said today: \"It is in the West's interests to help Tunisia boost its security and we have stood by our friend.\" Concerns remain Diplomats point out there has not been a significant terrorist attack in Tunisia in over a year. Yet no one is being complacent. It was not until 2013 that the Tunisian authorities even acknowledged they had a security problem, and despite a massive improvement in their capability there remain concerns about porous borders and infiltration by extremists coming from Algeria and southern Libya. There is also the question of returning IS fighters from Syria and Iraq, an area Britain is advising on. Tunisia has one of the highest per capita ratios of fighters going off to join IS. As with Britain, many will now be looking to come home.",

In another development, Turkish media report that nine soldiers and a village guard were killed when a minibus they were travelling in rolled over into a ditch in the south-eastern province of Sirnak on Tuesday. It appears that the driver lost control of the vehicle on a bend and there was no suggestion of a rebel attack. List of ages Rebels are active in south-eastern Turkey, which has a Kurdish majority. After Monday's explosion, a crowd of angry men chanted slogans against the rebels and their jailed leader, Abdullah Ocalan. Listing the dead, the Turkish newspaper Sabah said they included children aged one, three, 11 and 13. Deputy Prime Minister Besir Atalay blamed the PKK, AFP news agency reports. However, in a statement published by the pro-Kurdish Firatnews agency, the PKK said: \"Our forces have nothing to do with this attack. We do not attack civilians.\" No other group has said it had carried out the attack. Clashes between the PKK - which seeks autonomy for the Kurds - and Turkey's armed forces have increased in south-eastern Turkey over the past year. Classified as a terrorist organisation by the EU and the US, the PKK launched a guerrilla campaign in 1984 for an ethnic homeland in the Kurdish heartland in the south-east of Turkey. Some 40,000 people, including civilians, have been killed in its war against the Turkish state. The south-east has also recently become home to tens of thousands of Syrians, the BBC's Gabriel Gatehouse reports from Antakya, which is close to Gaziantep.

Is synching your baby to your smartphone, in fact, a step too far? The makers of one wearable - currently taking pre-orders from US customers - is offering exactly that scenario. The Owlet Smart Sock is a small device designed to be worn around the foot of an infant, which sends the data it gathers to an associated mobile app. The Salt Lake City-based firm behind the project, Owlet Care, says it will monitor the baby's: \"Every parent knows what it's like to lay in bed and stress about whether your child is breathing,\" says Owlet's founder and father-of-two Jacob Colvin. \"By creating products that help parents and increase the safety of their kids, we are making a difference.\" Meanwhile, a Boston-headquartered start-up is already selling an alternative product via Toys R Us's online stores in the States. The Mimo Baby Monitor is an all-in-one baby-grow suit with a slot on its front to which a data-collecting plastic turtle plugs in. It takes similar readings to Owlet's product, beaming the results to concerned parents via Bluetooth and wi-fi. Hi-tech purchases like these come with a substantial price tag - Mimo's starter-kit costs $199 (£119). And there are some who are concerned such manufacturers are playing on parental paranoia. \"First-time parents, who are at their most obsessive about safety, are the most susceptible to manufacturers' marketing and claims to be 'best for your child',\" Katie O'Donovan, from parenting network Mumsnet, tells the BBC. This can lead to some expensive purchasing mistakes, she adds. Billions from babies But it's easy to see why entrepreneurs are attracted to the sector. Retail sales of \"baby durables\" - the term analysts give to long-lasting goods - are set to increase from $2.6bn in 2012 to $2.9 billion in 2018 in the US alone, according to research firm Mintel. Other goods available or about to join the infant tech space include: The Spanish firm behind the Cry Translator also offers cost-conscious parents an app that requires slightly longer recordings to work. From a paediatric perspective, there appears to be pros and cons to integrating technology with parenting and infants. \"Paediatricians generally value technology as far as children's development goes,\" Dr Rahul Chodhari, consultant paediatrician for the Royal Free London explains. \"My worry, especially for a first-time parent, is that a parent might ignore the wonderful gift of instinct and rely on a machine that is not medically tested to read a situation\". However, there is one area that both Dr Chodhari and Barnet & Chase Farm Hospitals' consultant paediatrician Dr Su Laurent agree is ripe for improvement - child car seats. Dr Laurent pronounces the Carkoon and its £499 price tag as sounding \"amazing but expensive\" when she learns of the still-in-development product. But she is less impressed by True Fit iAlert, a hi-tech child seat currently sold for $400 that sends a smartphone warning if a child wriggles free of its straps. Features of the car seat, including a monitor for an exact angle of recline, are described by Dr Laurent as \"unnecessary and likely to increase anxiety\". The product may also lack wider appeal since its manufacturer tells the BBC that it will soon be withdrawn from sale and not replaced. Crowdfunded kiddie tech Baby tech start-ups received another boost this week with news that the popular crowdfunding platform Kickstarter was relaxing its rules about which kinds of projects could appear on the site. The website is a popular place for projects to gain both cash and publicity - but it had previously barred several baby-themed proposals under a general ban on \"medical, health and safety products\". That had led to a situation in which Owlet's smart sock had been rejected, while Baby Soothe - an infant massage device - had slipped through. Under the revised rules all baby tech should qualify so long as it does not explicitly claim to cure, treat, or prevent an illness or other condition. Rival crowdfunding platform Indiegogo is even more relaxed about the baby-related projects it accepts. It has helped raise money for projects, including Smart Diapers - a nappy that aims to warn of developing urinary tract infections, despite warnings from Dr Laurent and others that the system might lead parents to make unnecessary trips to their doctor. Whether parents embrace the expanding range of infant-related innovation is part of a wider challenge that faces them, says Mumsnet. \"We're the first generation of parents having to navigate this digital space,\" says Mrs O'Donovan. \"There's this dilemma to embrace technology - a whole new world - with possibilities that our child will be a coding genius by 11, yet also offers us a child that doesn't interact with others and endlessly plays on Minecraft.\" When it comes to winning parents over, tech companies may need to take one baby step at a time.",

            "input": "By Sean CoughlanEducation correspondent The National Union of Teachers' annual conference has called for \"sustained strike action\" to back schools challenging a long hours culture. The union says teachers' workload is \"intolerable and getting worse\". The Department for Education said rather than threatening \"unnecessary strike action\" the NUT should \"work constructively\" on a solution. As the NUT conference in Brighton voted to campaign over the \"workload crisis\", the Education Secretary Nicky Morgan announced proposals to tackle excessive working hours for teachers in England. Stopping 'fads' These plans call for schools not to adopt \"emerging fads\" which can mean \"excessive marking\" for teachers and unnecessary data collection. It also warns against schools encouraging excessive \"gold plating\" approaches to marking. The government's workload plan would require head teachers to take more account of the impact of marking on teachers' time and to prevent \"unreasonable demands\". It also calls for adequate planning time when changes are being introduced in schools. \"Nothing is more damaging to the profession than wasting the passion and expertise of teachers and school leaders on unnecessary tasks,\" said Mrs Morgan. She said the proposals would address the three biggest concerns about workload - marking, planning and data collection. The NUT welcomed Mrs Morgan's reports on tackling workload. But the teachers' union conference backed calls for \"sustained strike action\" in support of schools seeking improvements in workload. 'Perfect storm' The NUT conference supported warnings over the \"perfect storm\" on workload, which delegates said had been exacerbated by teacher shortages and rising pupil numbers. Delegates said teachers were now working 65 to 70 hours per week in term time. And they argued that it was one of the most common reasons for teachers leaving the profession. Laura Fisher from Wakefield said excessive workload was damaging the ability of teachers to teach. She said the message she wanted to send to the education secretary was \"let me get on with my job\". Sheila Caffrey from Bristol said that the six words that were most likely to raise teachers' stress levels were: \"You only work until three o'clock.\" Kenneth Rustidge, from the union's executive, said excessive workload had become a major disincentive to people who might have entered teaching. The conference backed calls for more teachers, lower class sizes, less teaching time and more time for planning. NUT leader Christine Blower said: \"Teachers speak of having no life outside of school, nor time for family and friends. \"We are not talking about having to stay a little bit later of an evening, but of workloads that keep teachers working into the night and at weekends.\" A Department for Education spokeswoman said: \"It's a shame the NUT has chosen to threaten more unnecessary strike action rather than working constructively with the government to address teachers' concerns. \"Today's announcement of new steps to reduce unnecessary workload shows what can be achieved when we work together. \"As set out in our White Paper we are determined to continue with our vision to ensure every single child has the best possible education, as well as raising the status of the profession. It would be refreshing to see the NUT doing likewise.\"",

Stand on one of the busiest shopping streets in Liverpool and you'll be a stone's throw from four betting shops - not surprising since there are 163 in the city. In fact it is one of the areas in the UK with the highest concentration of betting shops per population with just over four per 10,000 adults, Gambling Commission data shows. And that figure does not include the casinos, bingo halls or arcades that pepper the city. Brian Robinson, 62, from Toxteth said there was a culture of betting in the city and it was a \"good thing\" the government was capping the stakes. New rules will reduce the maximum bet from £100 to £2 on fixed-odds betting terminals (FOBTs) - dubbed the \"crack cocaine\" of gambling. Currently, people can bet up to £100 every 20 seconds on electronic casino games such as roulette. \"They're in there spending their benefits. It's like a drug... it's sad. Twenty seconds on those FOBTs and your wages are gone,\" said Mr Robinson. \"My nephew does it - he's in there for a minute and that's 50 quid, just gone.\" He supports betting regulation \"because they've got to do something about it\" and was annoyed the betting shops were complaining about their potential losses, saying: \"There's no poor bookies... they're a law unto themselves.\" Toni Wilkinson, 30, thought it was \"definitely a good idea\" to reduce the stakes but sadly \"no surprise\" her home city came out so high on the list. The chef said \"loads of people at work run to the bookies at lunch\" as \"there's loads\" on every corner but \"who's got £100 every 20 seconds?\". \"I use an app that lets me bet up to £400 in 24 hours if I want. But I don't - you've got to decide for yourself,\" she said, adding the move \"will help\" people who are addicted. Student Cole Mbuilu, 19, said it was \"free choice\" if you wanted to bet on FOBTs but \"there has to be a limit\" and he was glad the government was stepping in. \"You don't serve somebody who is too drunk, do you? This is similar.... £100 in 20 seconds is too much.\" His friend Barry Forsythe, 20, said \"people should be able to do what they want\" but \"you hear stories of people losing their house\" and ruining their lives so the new rules were necessary. It was hard to find anybody on the streets of the city who was against the move but David Campbell, 56, from Norris Green said he thought it might make FOBTs \"more addictive\". He explained \"they'll stay in there longer\" because they \"can't stop themselves\" and \"there's one [a betting shop] on every corner here, like pubs\". He said with the same amount of money to spend, gamblers would just stay on the machines for longer for \"more flashes and buzzes to keep them interested\" so \"it's up to the individual\" to regulate their behaviour. As he left one of the betting shops after putting some money on the football, Jimmy Baum said: \"If they're old enough to do it, they're old enough to lose it.\" The 52-year-old from Liverpool said the new rules would \"help stop gambling, debt and robbing\" but people \"should have the option\" to bet as they see fit. \"I wouldn't bet £100 in a year, never mind 20 seconds... that's the thing, you've got to be responsible betting,\" he said.",

We bleed.\" She acknowledged the video's content, with its images of used sanitary products and menstruating women was graphic, but said breaking the taboo around periods was an important part of the tax campaign. \"To be able to talk about the tax openly the taboo conversation needs to happen - that's where the tax comes from, that's where the problem lies - in these deeply entrenched hush hush attitude.\" \"I'm sick of feeling like it's something I should be ashamed of.\" She also stressed that her team worked closely with a lawyer to make sure the song differed enough from the one that inspired it to avoid legal action. (Though she still hopes Snoop Dogg likes it and gets in touch.) 'We had a lot of fun' Ms Forster, a local Liberal party councillor, told the BBC that she took part in the video as \"a favour for a friend\". The two women met two years ago, when Ms Lethbridge was playing the character of Ms Forster in a theatre production. \"It's been very well received, and it's an incredibly professionally produced clip,\" said Ms Forster. \"We had a lot of fun making it, but it just makes the point that it's unfair to class tampons as non-essential items, when plainly they are.\" Her preference is to keep the tax, but make it a blanket one. \"It'd be a better idea to apply GST to everything, and reduce personal income tax,\" she said. Ms Lethbridge, however, wants a total end to a tax on sanitary products. She said it doesn't matter that she and Ms Forster disagree, nor that she isn't sure herself how the government will make up the estimated A$30m shortfall repealing the tax would create. \"The bottom line for me is that every Australian should have access to affordable, basic health items.\" Reporting by Tessa Wong and Anna Jones",

            "input": "By Tessa WongBBC News STARTERS Tokyo Buddy burgers: Japan's PM Shinzo Abe has made no bones about becoming Mr Trump's best friend and when the pair shared an all-American hamburger lunch made with imported US beef, and accompanied by Heinz ketchup and mustard, the messaging was clear. Traditional steak and ice-cream sundae: The US leader reportedly loves well-done steak and hates raw fish, so steak and a chocolate ice-cream sundae at a Tokyo teppanyaki restaurant was one of Mr Trump's first meals. Foodies groaned at the menu, with some comparing it to the 2014 trip to the famous Sukiyabashi Jiro sushi restaurant by Trump's predecessor Barack Obama. Teriyaki chicken and steamed egg: But \"Japanese style steak\" was reportedly on the menu at the state dinner, as well as chawanmushi (steamed egg) with matsutake mushrooms, and he got a taste of local culture when he ate teriyaki chicken at a traditional Japanese restaurant. Despite a few jibes about trade, Mr Abe and Mr Trump parted ways on the same plate. MAIN COURSES A political prawn in South Korea: In Seoul, politics was definitely on the table. A cooked prawn that was caught near the disputed Dokdo/Takeshima islands claimed by both South Korea and Japan was served up. It's unclear whether Mr Trump took a bite, but Japan was not pleased - a government spokesman later raised concerns about the significance of the prawn at a time when South Korea should unite with Japan to tackle North Korean issues, reported AFP news agency. And among the guests for the state dinner was Lee Yong-soo, a former \"comfort woman\" or wartime sex slave for Japanese soldiers - a contentious issue between South Korea and Japan. Centuries-old soy sauce: The South Korean banquet featured soy sauce that, at 360 years of age, was older than the US itself. Was it a reminder of South Korea's much longer history and traditions? It might just be worth noting that Mr Trump is not believed to share the same rapport with South Korean President Moon Jae-in as with Mr Abe. Tex-Mex tacos with the boys: But Mr Trump also used his dining choices to play politics with a calculated decision to eat with US and South Korean troops at Camp Humphreys, the largest overseas US military base, for \"Taco Tuesday\". Over tacos, burritos and curly fries, which he praised as \"good food\", he told soldiers that he eschewed a \"beautiful\" lunch so he could dine with them, according to reporters at the scene. Kung pao chicken and chilli oil fish: Beijing may have given Mr Trump a lavish welcome, but dialled down the extravagance when it came to the state banquet, choosing instead to ease Mr Trump into local cuisine with a classic Chinese dish familiar to many Americans - kung pao chicken. The dish of chicken pieces stir fried with chillies originates from Sichuan province, as does another item on the menu, fish cooked in chilli oil. It led some Chinese netizens to wonder if the menu was a subtle nod to \"chuanpu\", one of Mr Trump's nicknames which shares a Chinese character with Sichuan and is the source of one very odd conspiracy theory about Mr Trump's supposed Chinese origins. \"Chuanpu's here, so time to serve Sichuan dishes?\" asked one Weibo user. Opinion was split on the menu: some saw it as a gentle introduction to Chinese cuisine, but others were unhappy it was not fancy enough. DESSERT Arabella Kushner after dinner entertainment : It was then Mr Trump's turn to butter up his hosts by screening a video of his granddaughter Arabella singing in Mandarin during the banquet. The five-year-old is a social media sensation in China for her videos singing and reciting Chinese poetry. Hello to halo-halo?: Mr Trump is now in Vietnam for the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation meeting, then jetting off to the Philippines where he will meet Rodrigo Duterte, another outspoken leader, in the land which prizes its desserts like halo-halo, a local treat made of shaved ice.

Like-for-like sales at McDonald's have not increased since October 2013, as smaller rivals eroded its market share. Consumers have been opting for healthier and more varied offerings at outlets such as Chipotle, which allows diners to customise their dishes. The Mexican food chain reported a 20% rise in like-for-like sales for the three months to September 30 - the third quarter of double-digit increases. Sales for McDonald's in the Asia/Pacific, Middle East and Africa markets were down 4%, hit by a China meat supplier scandal that scared off customers and forced the company to find new sources for its chicken and beef. In Europe, sales dropped 2% in November, as a strong UK performance was dragged down by a \"very weak\" Russian market and negative results in both France and Germany. In August, Russian authorities forced several Moscow outlets to close over alleged hygiene breaches. The move came amid Western criticism of the Kremlin's support for separatists in Ukraine. 'Demanding' consumers Don Thompson, McDonald's chief executive, said the chain was simplifying its menu, improving marketing and giving more control to local operators. \"Today's consumers increasingly demand more choice, convenience and value in their dining-out experience,\" he said.

The islands, known as Senkaku in Japan and Diaoyu in China, are a source of rising tension between the countries. Japan lodged a strong protest over what it said was an \"escalation\". \"Setting up such airspace unilaterally escalates the situations surrounding Senkaku islands and has danger of leading to an unexpected situation,\" Japan's foreign ministry said in a statement. Taiwan, which also claims the Diaoyu/Senkaku islands, expressed regret at the move and promised that the military would take measure to protect national security. 'No specific target' In its statement, the Chinese defence ministry said aircraft must report a flight plan, \"maintain two-way radio communications\", and \"respond in a timely and accurate manner\" to identification inquiries. \"China's armed forces will adopt defensive emergency measures to respond to aircraft that do not co-operate in the identification or refuse to follow the instructions,\" said the statement. It said the zone came into effect from 10:00 local time (02:00GMT) on Saturday. State news agency Xinhua showed a map on its website covering a wide area of the East China Sea, including regions very close to South Korea and Japan. Responding to questions about the zone on an official state website, a defence ministry spokesman, Yang Yujun, said China set up the area \"with the aim of safeguarding state sovereignty, territorial land and air security, and maintaining flight order\". \"It is not directed against any specific country or target,\" he said, adding that China \"has always respected the freedom of over-flight in accordance with international law\". \"Normal flights by international airliners in the East China Sea air-defence identification zone will not be affected in any way.\" The islands have been a source of tension between China and Japan for decades. In 2012, the Japanese government bought three of the islands from their Japanese owner, sparking mass protests in Chinese cities. Since then, Chinese ships have repeatedly sailed in and out of what Japan says are its territorial waters. In September this year, Japan said it would shoot down unmanned aircraft in Japanese airspace after an unmanned Chinese drone flew close to the disputed islands. China said that any attempt by Japan to shoot down Chinese aircraft would constitute \"an act of war\". Last month Japan's defence minister, Itsunori Onodera, said China's behaviour over the disputed East China Sea islands was jeopardising peace. BBC World Service East Asia editor Charles Scanlon says the confrontation over the small chain of uninhabited islands is made more intractable by conflicting claims for potentially rich energy resources on the sea bed.

            "input": "By James CookBBC News, Oklahoma To the red country of Oklahoma a stiff and steady breeze came from the west, stirring the redbud trees and setting their deep purple flowers atremble. It may be spring in the American heartland, but for many teachers here it's not a time of optimism and renewal, but of decay and despair. \"I am exhausted constantly,\" says Chelsea Herndon, a full-time high school biology teacher who also works up to 30 hours a week as a veterinary technician. \"I don't know what being well rested feels like anymore,\" she says, moments after treating a mauled dog. At weekends and on Wednesday nights Ms Herndon toils until 2am at the Animal Emergency Center in Oklahoma City. She has to be back in the classroom at around 7:30am. The children, she says, are being short-changed. \"They see their tattered textbooks. They see their tired teachers. They know Thursday mornings Miss Herndon's a little grumpy - she needs some coffee! \"So they see it and they want better. They definitely want better.\" Last year, Oklahoma's education spending per pupil was 28.2% less than it was in 2008, before the Great Recession struck, according to the left-leaning Center on Budget and Policy Priorities. The National Education Association, which represents publicly funded school staff, calls these cuts \"the deepest in the nation\". Gina Muscari, who teaches second grade at Crutcho Elementary, a rural school outside Oklahoma City, says her students miss what's been cut. \"We used to have a really cool art programme,\" she says, but there's no funding for it. \"We used to have choir, all sorts of music… I would love a school nurse. I would love a full time counsellor.\" They have new textbooks, she says, but \"only because we have saved for 10 years\". Crutcho is now open four days a week, rather than five, to save money on buses, electricity and support staff. Of the state's 1,820 publicly funded schools, 207 have moved to four-day weeks, according to Christy Watson of the Oklahoma State School Boards Association. And many Oklahoma schools are struggling to retain qualified, talented staff. When one teacher left Crutcho Elementary recently, Muscari and a colleague split the extra pupils between them. \"Our kids really, really feel the impact,\" she says. This crisis follows a decision by the state legislature to sharply reduce taxes in response to the recession, with the aim of encouraging investment and growth. The move was driven by small-government, pro-business Republicans but was also supported by many Democrats. Other states tried the same approach, notably neighbouring Kansas, but few continued cutting as the economy began to improve. Oklahoma was among just a handful of states still reducing school budgets in 2016-17, when funding fell by another 8% over 12 months, second only to Wyoming. Some Oklahoma Republicans now think they went too far. \"Any successful society from the Roman Empire [onward] has had to have some form of government,\" says Leslie Osborn, a Republican member of the state House of Representatives. Osborn says she has changed her mind about the extent to which tax cuts can boost economic growth. She was in favour of the theory that cutting taxes to the bone would spur growth, she says, until the outcomes - \"not enough troopers on the road, not enough foster care workers to take care of children, not enough teachers in the classroom\" - made her think again. \"I've been called a RINO - Republican in Name Only\" she says. \"I don't believe that's true. I believe that a good Republican can be compassionate, can believe that we need a safety net for people.\" That's why Osborn strongly supported a move by the state legislature last week to approve modest tax rises on oil and gas production, fuel and cigarettes. The extra revenue will be used to boost school funding and increase teacher pay by an average of $6,100 (£4,340) per year. The bill was signed by Governor Mary Fallin on Thursday, despite opposition from some powerful figures in her party, including former US Senator Tom Coburn, who made a last-minute plea to fellow Republicans. The Oklahoma Oil and Gas Association is also critical, announcing its \"firm and complete opposition\" to an increase in the production tax paid by the industry - from 2% to 5% - which is still lower than other oil-producing states. \"The reality is oversight, efficiency and reducing waste and fraud should be the focus at the Capitol,\" Association President Chad Warmington said in a statement. Teachers are not satisfied either. The pay rise sounds a lot until you consider the context, says Ms Herndon, the veterinary technician who also heads her school's biology department. She has 10 years of experience as a teacher and makes $33,000. \"If I go to Texas I'm starting at almost $50,000 a year. So it's a pretty big difference.\" Oklahoma is right at the bottom of the barrel for teacher pay in the US, along with West Virginia where striking teachers recently won a 5% rise. Their success stirred disillusioned educators into action here, but also in Arizona and Kentucky. Muscari describes the emergency measures as \"a drop in the bucket\" after \"really deep cuts every single year in education funding for 10 years in a row\". A couple of hours drive across the plains from Oklahoma City, she has an ally in Gary Jones, a rancher who is seeking the Republican gubernatorial nomination later this year. Jones is not afraid to style himself as \"the only candidate in favour of increasing taxes\". He insists he is a dedicated conservative who nonetheless believes that the creed of smaller government and lower taxes can be taken too far. \"It's got to be a balance,\" he says. \"It's easy to go out and pander to voters and tell them that I'm going to cut, cut, cut.\" A desire for efficiency, he argues, must be tempered by the ability to effectively deliver the core services expected from government. That could also be a message for Donald Trump, who is now embarking on a similar course of action at the federal level, albeit with added borrowing thrown into the mix. The president is enormously popular here in Oklahoma, and Republicans are wary of criticising him directly. But Jones and others admit to deep concerns about what the long-term effect on public services will be after slashing taxes and increasing short-term spending and borrowing. Teachers are rather more forthright. \"There's days that I'm so angry, I'm disgusted,\" says Teresa Danks who teaches at an elementary school in Tulsa. \"It's embarrassing to say this is what I make. I have a master's degree in education!\" She starts work at 5am in front of her home computer, where she tutors students half way across the world, in China. She makes more money per hour doing that, she says, than she does at Grimes Elementary, where she arrives around 7am to begin her second shift of the day. After the school day is over, Danks returns home to work on grading and lessons plans, as well as teaching more online classes. Danks points out that everything in her classroom, except for the furniture, is paid for out of her own salary. She caused a stir last year when she was filmed begging for money for school supplies on a street corner. \"We are begging for our voices to be heard as teachers,\" she tells me. \"We're begging for the state of Oklahoma to put education as a priority.\" Danks is worried other states are following in Oklahoma's footsteps. \"Our education system has failed... and it is failing a lot of places across the United States. It is failing our children.\"",

            "input": "By Rachel FlintBBC News Wales entered the highest level of coronavirus restrictions on Sunday, with two households only allowed to meet on Christmas Day. Health Minister Vaughan Gething has said he wants to see an \"enforcement-first approach\" to rule-breakers. But the body representing police said officers were \"under immense pressure\". Mark Jones, of the North Wales Police Federation, said passions would be high at Christmas and officers were trying to balance compassion and enforce laws, while putting themselves at risk of abuse and catching the virus themselves. Coronavirus laws on travel and meeting others had been due to be relaxed from 23 to 27 December, to allow people to celebrate the festive period with loved ones. But after concern over a new variant of the virus, Wales was placed in a level four \"stay-at-home\" lockdown at midnight on Sunday, and festivities cut to just one day - Christmas Day. Under the law, people will only be able to travel on 25 December to see one other household - plus a single person household - and must return on the same day. Those in breach of rules face being told to go home or be returned home by officers, and issued with a £60 fine, which rises to £120 for a second breach. On Sunday, Mr Gething said there was \"growing unhappiness and anger\" towards people who were \"flagrant rule-breakers\" during recent months. Until now, Welsh police forces had focussed on engaging and educating first time offenders, with fines only happening if people were found in breach of rules on multiple occasions. But Mr Gething said the Welsh Government had spoken to councils and the police, and he wanted to now see an enforcement-first approach. He told BBC Wales catching people who break the two household limit would be difficult unless they made a lot of noise or neighbours spied on them. \"Where it comes to house parties and more egregious breaches, yes I do expect enforcement to take place. I do expect people to get fined,\" he said. \"If you go into a house party with 20 different people you know damn well that you're breaking the rules.\" Mr Jones, general secretary for the Police Federation in north Wales, said enforcing the rules would be \"difficult\" as there were no extra officers to deal with new laws under a time of \"immense pressure\". He said officers were responding to serious crimes and increased pressures over the festive period - such as a rise in domestic violence - and many officers were already working on rest days and holidays to cover for sick colleagues. Mr Jones said the majority of the public were supportive of the rules and co-operated with police, but a small minority were \"flouting\" the law, putting themselves and officers who had to intervene at risk. \"By virtue of the fact they are already disregarding the regulations they are invariably not very happy or compliant with police when being dealt with,\" he said, adding officers had been deliberately coughed on and spat at. \"These police officers are people, and they are having to get up close and personal and deal with these individuals.\" He added that the Christmas rules meant officers would be put \"in very difficult\" positions as they also wanted to see their loved ones and so understood people's desperation. \"Police don't create the law, they just have to enforce them, which puts them in a no-win situation,\" he said. \"Officers are human beings, they are doing their very best to walk that tightrope of enforcing the laws of the land, but also trying to balance human compassion and people's feelings, and strong views on the regulations. \"I speak to officers who are really, really worried about bringing this silent killer back into their homes, but they understand they have a duty as a police officer. \"Suddenly it's a police officer who will have no choice but to deal with those people in the most appropriate way, and that will inevitably involve them putting themselves at risk of being assaulted or being attacked.\" Chief Constable Pam Kelly, of Gwent Police, told BBC Radio Wales that officers would not be \"knocking on people's doors asking how many people are in a house\", but would be enforcing the laws. She said: \"Police officers have had to be going in and out of people's houses throughout this entire pandemic, dealing with assaults, domestic abuse and of course investigating crime, and then they go home to their families. \"So let's reduce the pressure on all services by being really careful over Christmas, let's respect agencies, respect each other so that we reduce the spread of the virus over Christmas. \"If they don't, and they flout the law, of course we will have to enforce the law, but we'd rather not do that.\" Dyfed-Powys Police and Crime Commissioner Dafydd Llywelyn said trying to keep an eye on people's movements would be \"difficult\" over the Christmas break. Mr Llywelyn said police would not be going \"house to house to check\" how many people were celebrating together, and emergency and high-risk calls would be a priority over any calls concerning rules being broken. He told BBC Wales police would be visible in communities and on roads, to provide reassurance, and would be able to stop cars, but this was like any other year, where officers would be focussing on preventing speeding and drink driving. \"The key message here is for people to take personal responsibility in relation to their movements... the guidance is there for a reason, it's to stop the spread of coronavirus,\" he said. \"Where we do get information that people are flouting the rules, maybe house parties are taking place, the police will be there to respond.\"",

The Times' Donald Hutera said it \"can't top the film but, happily, equals it\". He wrote: \"Broad, saucy, raucous and occasionally coy, The Full Monty is the epitome of unpretentious, feel-good commercial entertainment.\" The play stays true to the tale of the unemployed Sheffield mates who find themselves on the scrap heap of life after their factory shuts. They decide to stage a male strip show to boost their bank balances and self-esteem. The actors include Kenny Doughty, who fills the role played by Robert Carlyle in the film, ex-Coronation Street star Craig Gazey and Simon Rouse, known for playing The Bill's Jack Meadows. They do go the full monty, stripping off completely at the climax of the play - but clever lighting spares the actors' blushes. Describing the atmosphere in the audience at the Sheffield Lyceum during the final striptease scene, Daily Mail critic Quentin Letts wrote that \"the wenches of Sheffield growled like Jensen Interceptors at the traffic lights\". \"Then came lift-off time. Not, perhaps, since the impis descended on redcoats in the Zulu wars have there been such guttural, blood-curdling ululations.\" Letts awarded the show four stars, deciding that it \"falls just short of five-star status because it is too knowing from the start - a little too full-phwoarr for the hen-night crowds\". The Independent's Jonathan Brown praised Doughty, Rouse and Roger Morlidge, who was \"superb\" as the overweight and reluctant ex-crane driver Dave. Mark Shenton of The Stage, meanwhile, predicted: \"I suspect the West End will surely beckon... though reprising the warmth of its reception in its home city will be a tough act to follow.\"",

He moved to the US in 2005 to take a master's degree in electrical engineering at the University of Texas at El Paso. He then worked for six years as a software and systems engineer at Rockwell Collins Inc in Iowa before moving to Kansas and taking a job with GPS-maker Garmin at Olathe. Garmin is one of the best-known employers in the area. Mr Kuchibhotla was married but had no children. His widow, Sunayana Dumala, told reporters that the gunman had taken \"a very loveable soul from everyone.\" A closed-door vigil was held on the Garmin campus on Friday, where Ms Dumala addressed a group of about 200 workers who took part. Alok Madasani Alok Madasani, 32, was wounded in the thigh in Wednesday's shooting. He was later released from hospital and was able to attend the vigil at Garmin. He graduated from the Vasavi College of Engineering in Hyderabad in 2006 and moved to the US as a master's student at the University of Missouri-Kansas City, according to his LinkedIn page. Like Srinivas Kuchibhotla, he worked at Rockwell Collins Inc before moving to Garmin in 2014. Workers at the bar where the shooting took place said the two men met there twice a week and were known as \"the Jameson guys\", as they liked to drink Jameson whiskey. Amid widespread shock in India following the shooting, Mr Madasani's father, Jaganmohan Reddy, said he had spoken to his son by phone and feared for his safety. \"I request other parents to think twice before sending their children to the United States,\" he said. A spokesman for the Indian embassy in Washington, Pratik Mathur, said officials had met Mr Madasani and were \"ensuring his well-being\". Ian Grillot A worker at the bar in Olathe told the Kansas City Star that when the suspected gunman, Adam Purinton, began harassing the two Indian men, Ian Grillot \"stood up for them\". Mr Grillot, 24, of Grandview, Missouri, suffered bullet wounds to his hand and chest, according to the Star, and is still in hospital. He brushed aside suggestions that he was a hero when he spoke to local TV News channel KMBC from his hospital bed. \"I was just doing what anyone should have done for another human being,\" he said. \"It's not about where he's from or his ethnicity. \"We're all humans.

Police were alerted when the tag was tampered with but Mr Mohamed fled. It has now been revealed that Mr Mohamed is seeking compensation at the High Court. Mr Mohamed, a British citizen, claims the UK authorities were complicit in his torture in Somalia, East Africa, in 2011. He travelled to Somalia in 2007 and was detained there with another man - a fellow British citizen known only as CF - in January 2011 until their removal back to the UK in March of that year. Both men allege that they were tortured during their detention and that UK authorities were complicit in their ill-treatment. Mr Justice Irwin, sitting at London's High Court on Thursday, handed down an interim ruling in the action Mr Mohamed is bringing for compensation - the first ruling on the use of the Justice and Security Act 2013 in a civil claim for damages. His human rights claim is against the Foreign Office, Home Office, Ministry of Defence and the Attorney General. It was initially anonymous, but that has been lifted following his disappearance. In a statement, the Foreign Office said it welcomed the High Court ruling, saying its application had been successful. \"As this is an ongoing litigation we are unable to comment on the details of the case,\" it added. Under surveillance Mr Mohamed is believed to have close links to al-Shabab, the Somali insurgent group that raided Nairobi's Westgate shopping mall in September, resulting in 67 deaths, but officials said there was not enough evidence to bring a criminal case against him in court. He has been under a terrorism prevention and investigation measures order (TPim) for almost two years. TPims restrict the movements of people thought to pose a risk to the public, but who cannot be tried for reasons of national security and who cannot be deported. Concerns have also been raised that Mr Mohamed may have a second passport after confusion emerged over his British one. Home Secretary Theresa May told MPs on Monday that officers had seized the 27-year-old's British passport, but has since revealed that this was wrong. Correcting a comment saying the police had Mr Mohamed's passport on Monday, Mrs May asked for the parliamentary record to be corrected to say: \"I do not have his passport. Mohamed was not in possession of his British passport when he returned to the UK so there was no passport for the police to seize.\" The Press Association reported that Mr Mohamed's British passport had been cancelled before his return to the UK. The Home Office would not confirm when it was cancelled. The chairman of the Home Affairs Committee, Keith Vaz, said he was \"amazed\" by Mrs May's incorrect statement. He said when there were only eight people on TPims in the UK and the government ought to know every detail about them. \"It could well be that Mohamed has another passport and her answer has raised questions about his current whereabouts. We will be raising these questions with Charles Farr (director general of the Office for Security and Counter-Terrorism) when he comes before the committee next Tuesday,\" she said. Second missing suspect The BBC's Security Correspondent Frank Gardner said Mr Mohamed was likely to be under MI5 surveillance when he went on the run after entering the An-Noor Masjid and Community Centre, in west London, on Friday. When he cut off the tag, imposed under the terms of the TPim, it issued a \"tamper-alert\" to its makers, private security firm G4S. They rang the suspect and contacted the Home Office after he failed to answer. Police were alerted but he had disappeared by the time they arrived. Mr Mohamed's restrictive surveillance regime, which included a 21:30 GMT curfew, was due to expire by January. He is now the subject of a police-led manhunt and could face up to five years in prison if caught. The Met Police's Counter Terrorism Command, MI5 and the UK's Border Force have joined forces to find him. He is the second terror suspect under a TPim order to go missing. Ibrahim Magag, 28, also of Somali origin, was last seen in Camden on Boxing Day last year. When asked if Mr Magag had been found, the Home Office said: \"We wouldn't comment on ongoing police investigations.\" As of September, nine men - eight of them British - were under TPim surveillance.",

Amid speculation over whether the piece was a Banksy, a screen was fitted to it. In an ironic twist, soon afterwards the screen was sprayed with graffiti. A picture of the work was posted on Banksy's Instagram on Saturday morning. The salon the artwork appeared outside is on the junction of Rothesay Avenue and Ilkeston Road in Lenton, a popular residential area for students. After Bansky's confirmation he was the creator, people began arriving to have their photographs taken with the artwork, with about 30 people there at one point, as well as police officers. Nicola Marshall, 39, from Clifton, Nottingham, came with her son Klaye to see the work. She said: \"It's a bit of positivity with all this coronavirus going on.\" Danial Ahmer, 23, a student who lives on Rothesay Avenue, said: \"I think it's eye-catching. It was a bit surreal and random to see it here though.\" Banksy expert Prof Paul Gough, from Arts University Bournemouth - who initially doubted whether it was the real deal - said he was \"really pleased\" the work was by the artist. Talking about the meaning behind the artwork, he said: \"It is curious. The last four or five [Banksy pieces] have all related to Covid or something in the news. This is much more whimsical and much more of the moment. It is someone enjoying themselves. \"Perhaps that is the message: 'we are in difficult times, let's try to make the most of it and get some fun out of something which is broken'. \"The hoop is holistic. The circle is a positive and life-affirming. Even with a knackered bicycle, she is finding something she can play with.\" He added: \"The Nottingham picture is a different kind of [Banksy] painting to what I have seen before. There is less fluidity and a more pixelated effect, especially around the chin and parts of the face.\" Banksy began spray-painting trains and walls in his home city of Bristol in the 1990s, and before long was leaving his artistic mark all over the world. He is famed for poking fun at big companies and sending political messages through his work. At the scene - David Pittam, BBC News On an unassuming street off the edge of the city of Nottingham there's an almost seaside atmosphere. The excitement has brought people of all ages, backgrounds and parts of the city together, with a constant stream of people queuing to take a picture with the artwork. There's even an ice cream van and a hula-hooper to complete the picture. Many are just happy to have something else to talk about other than the rising levels of coronavirus, and something to put the city in a more positive light - although maintaining social distancing is definitely a challenge. A spokesman from Nottingham City Council said it was \"amazing\" Banksy had confirmed the work was his, adding \"we obviously don't know why he chose Nottingham but we're a city famous for our rebels, like Robin Hood of course\". He said: \"The fact that the artwork features a bike could be a reference to the Raleigh factory that used to be nearby, famous for its role in Saturday Night and Sunday Morning, the novel by local author Alan Sillitoe and iconic 1960 film starring Albert Finney.\" The council fitted the temporary cover to the work earlier in the week and now it is known to be a genuine Banksy, advice will be taken on what should happen next, said the spokesman. He added: \"We know people will be tempted to come and see it for themselves but we need to avoid large gatherings during the current pandemic, so we would urge everyone to please stay away.\" Follow BBC East Midlands on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram.

He said although people were better off in many ways than in 1952, material progress had come at the expense of equality and communal life. The National Secular Society said having a choice to leave unsuccessful marriages was something to be welcomed. Dr Chartres, a senior Church of England bishop, also called for action to tackle \"depressingly high\" youth unemployment. Writing in a Bible Society pamphlet, he said relationships had become more strained, fragile and broken than people cared to recognise. 'Empty church' \"Literally millions of children grow up without knowing a stable, loving, secure family life - and that is not to count the hundreds of thousands more who don't even make it out of the womb each year,\" he said. \"Promiscuity, separation and divorce have reached epidemic proportions in our society.\" \"Perhaps, then, we shouldn't be surprised that depression and the prescription of anti-depressants has reached a similarly epidemic level.\" Terry Sanderson, of the National Secular Society, which aims to challenge religious privilege, said that while Britain had problems, there was no \"epidemic\" of immorality. \"That people now have the choice to escape from painful and unsuccessful marriages is something to welcome,\" he said. \"It has not always been so, and women in particular have borne the brunt of sometimes brutal marriages from which they could not escape - mainly because the Church would not let them. \"Like so many other clergymen, the bishop is trying to convince us that we are immoral because we have progressed in ways that he doesn't like. And that is probably why his church is so empty.\" Caroline Davey, from charity Gingerbread, which provides support for single parents, said \"poverty and conflict\" were the most powerful drivers of poor outcomes for children. \"Modern British family life is made up of a range of different family types, all of whom need and deserve support - not criticism - as they bring up their children in these difficult economic times,\" she added. Queen praised Dr Chartres presented the biblical understanding of a Jubilee as an opportunity to take a long view, and think about the kind of environment being bequeathed to following generations. He said it should include a move to living within our means. Dr Chartres also described youth unemployment in Britain as \"appalling\" and said we should look to role models and mentors for a solution, as well as government.

            "input": "By Jennifer TraceyBBC News Nina Adamowicz was asking for a procedure that would lead to her certain death. Heart disease runs in her family, and she had had her first pacemaker fitted in 1996. For 10 years, it was great. Then she had a mild heart attack and her health deteriorated. She said she had excellent care, but by late 2014, her heart was working at less than 10% capacity. She was unlikely to have long to live. \"I feel like I am in line for execution,\" she told the BBC in January 2015. Adamowicz, then 71, described how she would lose consciousness, often at night, and would hear the click of her pacemaker snapping into action when she came to. She said she was \"lucky\", and \"forever grateful\" for her life, but that she was also prepared to die. \"I feel that [there is] life, and death is other side of the same coin,\" she said. \"I'd like to know what is there. \"It's not about 'I want to die', I'm dying.\" So she asked for the pacemaker to be turned off. Find us on Facebook The request put her doctor in a bind. The case was referred to her local hospital trust's ethics committee, which was concerned that the doctor would be open to prosecution if he performed the procedure and indicated her request was unlikely to be agreed. Find out more Adamowicz's case is the first known instance of such a request in the UK, but the practice of turning off pacemakers is more common in the US. In a career spanning more than 30 years, Dr Westby Fisher, a cardiac specialist at North Shore University Health System in Chicago, has been asked to deactivate a pacemaker or other heart device about a dozen times. He compares the procedure to withdrawing a feeding tube or turning off a ventilator. \"To allow the patient the opportunity to make their own decision is incredibly important,\" he says. Fisher described one case of a patient who had a pacemaker for years before a fall down a staircase led to severe bleeding in his brain. \"The family did not want to prolong the inevitable dying process and asked me to turn off his pacemaker,\" he says. \"I told them what to expect, I told them how the pacemaker was working at the time and that there was a chance that when we turned the device off his heart could completely stop, or he may have a very slowed rhythm, and they would have some additional time to spend with him before he completely died. \"I spoke with the patient's wife and she was very forthright and determined that this is what she desired for her husband and that this would have been what he would have wanted.\" Fisher allowed the wife to take the final step by touching a computer screen to turn off the radio-controlled pacemaker. The patient died the following day. Pacemakers and ICDs As for Nina Adamowicz, despite her hospital trust's initial hesitation, her request was finally granted in October of last year - after meetings, legal consultation and psychological testing to establish that she fully understood the consequences of her request. More than 35,000 people in the UK had pacemakers fitted in the last year, and many in the medical profession are now urging doctors to talk to their patients with pacemakers about their wishes as they approach the end of their lives. Although he isn't giving interviews, Adamowicz's doctor says it's a case he'll never forget. He has been presenting the case at local medical talks and events, which he says generates considerable debate. Some of his colleagues support the decision while others feel it's uncomfortably close to euthanasia. Adamowicz went into her local hospice with her family and lay chatting while her doctor turned the pacemaker off, a procedure that took 20 minutes. She soon said she felt different, family members say. She described her body as feeling heavy and she felt a little nauseous, but said she felt at peace. She slept through the night, returned home in the morning and died later that night. \"I strongly believe I have the right to decide whether I want it on or off,\" she told iPM in that earlier interview. \"And I stand by it.\" Join the conversation - find us on Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat and Twitter",

Mr Xi cemented his hold on China when he had a second five-year term confirmed, with no clear successor, at the congress. His name and doctrine have been written into the party's constitution. The two leaders are due to hold talks at a state visit to China next month, having met at the G20 summit in July. The pair also discussed North Korea and trade, President Trump said in a tweet. Hours later North Korean leader Kim Jong-un also congratulated Mr Xi. In the phone call with Mr Trump, Mr Xi expressed a desire to work with the US president to \"jointly blueprint future development of China-US ties\", Chinese state media report. Separately, Mr Trump praised Mr Xi as a \"very good person\" with whom he had \"a very good relationship\", in an interview with Fox Business Network. Describing Mr Xi's elevation as something that \"really virtually never happened in China\", Mr Trump called the Chinese leader \"a powerful man\". \"People say we have the best relationship of any president-president, because he's called president also. Some people might call him the king of China, but he's called president.\" China has the world's second-largest economy after the US, its biggest trading partner. However, relations have been strained by Beijing's territorial disputes in the South China Sea and East China Sea with Washington's allies in East Asia. Meanwhile North Korean state media agency KCNA reported that leader Kim Jong-un sent a congratulatory message to Mr Xi. The message \"expressed the conviction that the relations between the two parties and the two countries would develop in the interests\" of the Chinese and North Koreans. It also officially acknowledged Mr Xi's political doctrine, noting that China had \"entered the road of building socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era\". Though relations have cooled in recent years, amid Pyongyang's nuclear and missile tests, China remains North Korea's closest ally. Beyond 2022? On Wednesday, Mr Xi was formally handed a second term in office at the close of the Communist Party congress in Beijing. He is now on a par with the founder of the state, Mao Zedong, and questions have been raised over whether the 64-year-old intends to rule beyond 2022. Five new appointments were made to the seven-member Politburo Standing Committee, China's most powerful body. There had been speculation Mr Xi would elevate his protégé Chen Miner and Guangdong party secretary Hu Chunhua, both of whom are in their 50s and young enough to be credible successors. But the fact that the new appointees are all in their 60s, and likely to retire at the end of this five-year term, fuels speculation about Mr Xi's long-term intentions. Russian President Vladimir Putin sent a telegram in which he said the re-election showed Mr Xi's \"political authority\" and the \"broad support\" his policy to develop China and strengthen its international position enjoyed. South Korean President Moon Jae-in congratulated Mr Xi on his re-election in a letter, writing that he looked forward to creating a \"practical strategic partnership\". Foreign press barred Mr Xi has assumed an unprecedented number of positions since coming to power in 2012, including the title of \"core\" leader of China. His first term has been marked by significant development, a push for modernisation and increasing assertiveness on the world stage. It has also seen growing authoritarianism, censorship and a crackdown on human rights. He has spearheaded a sweeping anti-corruption campaign which has seen more than a million officials disciplined. It has been seen by some as a massive internal purge of opponents. Several major Western news organisations were barred from Wednesday's ceremony to reveal the new Politburo Standing Committee. Officially no reason was given for barring the BBC, Financial Times, Economist, New York Times and Guardian, but unofficially journalists were told that their reporting was to blame - another sign of Xi's determination to control the message at home and abroad.",

His admission follows a year of financial woes at the Co-op's banking arm and the scandal involving its former chairman, Paul Flowers. The Co-op has now launched a nationwide poll to ask people for their views on its future. Mr Sutherland, the group's chief executive, said it was a chance to move on from a dismal 2013. Speaking to the BBC, he added: \"It was perhaps the worst year in our 150-year overall history.\" Last April, the mutual pulled out of a deal to buy 632 Lloyds Banking Group branches.

In addition to the Co-op Bank's financial problems, it was hit by scandal when its former chairman, Paul Flowers, was arrested for alleged drugs offences.

On Friday, Moody's cut its rating of Russian debt to Baa2, its second-lowest investment grade. It blamed the economic damage caused by the sanctions. A credit rating is important as it gives investors an indication of the riskiness of investing in a debt product and can affect how much government's have to pay to borrow money. 'Slump' In a statement, Moody's said: \"The tightening of sanctions against Russia has already begun to aggravate the slowdown in economic growth and to undermine consumer and investor confidence in the country. \"Domestic demand slumped in the second quarter, including a notable decline in inventories and investment. Sanctions were imposed on Russia after it annexed Crimea in March and were strengthened amid accusations that Russia was supporting rebels in Eastern Ukraine. Moody's put Russian government debt \"on watch\" for a ratings downgrade following those sanctions and since then the rouble has fallen 15%. In early September Ukraine government forces and pro-Russian rebels agreed a truce to stop fighting. Since then the European Union has been brokering talks aimed at a lasting peace deal and to solve a dispute over Russian gas supplies to Ukraine. Over the weekend Ukraine's President, Petro Poroshenko said a deal had been reached with Russia over gas supplies for the winter. Mr Poroshenko said the deal could be signed in the next round of talks which begin on Tuesday. Russia has threatened to cut off gas supplies to Ukraine, due to unpaid bills. Growth threat The crisis over Ukraine and the resulting sanctions are having a serious impact on the Russian economy, according to Moody's. It expects real growth, which includes the effect of inflation, to turn negative at the end of this year and to continuing decline until \"at least mid-2015\". \"Even at today's levels, sanctions are likely to undermine medium-term growth somewhat, for example by impeding exploration activities in the hydrocarbon sector. \"Any widening in the scope of the sanctions, as would be increasingly likely the longer the crisis persists, would magnify the medium-term effect,\" Moody's said in its report. The credit rating agency also expressed concern over the strain that the crisis is putting on Russia's reserves of foreign currency. It says that Russian reserves remain \"substantial\", but because access to major overseas sources of financing have been cut off, Russia is spending significant sums on supporting public and private sector finances.",

            "input": "Mark D'ArcyParliamentary correspondent Next week sees the return of Westminster Hall debates, where MPs can raise issues great and small with ministers, and get a government reply, although nothing is pushed to a vote. And the process of setting up the Commons select committees, electing first the chairs, and then the members, is now under way, with nominations to chair the committees closing on Monday, 27 January, with the elections for that phase of the process on Wednesday, 30 January. Campaigning is already visible, with new MPs being glad-handed by aspiring committee chairs, in person and on social media, at every possible opportunity. Remember, the parties carve up a deal on which party gets to provide the chair for each committee - so for example the Treasury Committee will be provided by the Conservatives, this time around. The carve-up reflects the party make-up of the Commons, so the Conservative election victory means that they get to chair a couple of extra committees - which is bad news for Labour's Lillian Greenwood, who chaired transport before the election, but who will now be replaced by a Conservative MP. Expect to see candidates popping up at relevant question times and debates in the coming days, to demonstrate their grasp of their chosen area. They will take every opportunity to woo MPs from other parties - because cross-party support is essential to victory, when your own party is choosing between several of its own members. A developing theme in this new round of elections is of senior ex-ministers, including at least three former cabinet ministers, seeking committee chairs. The most spectacular example is Jeremy Hunt, the former foreign secretary and, more pertinently the longest-serving health secretary, seeking to chair the health committee. This has provoked dark mutterings from his rivals about how he would be \"marking his own homework\" - assessing the success of his tenure in the department, if he won. Also seeking election is ex-Business Secretary Greg Clark (Science and technology) and the ex-Welsh Secretary Stephen Crabb (Welsh Affairs). Both are far from veterans, and some critics mutter they might wish to repeat the career trajectory of Nicky (now Baroness) Morgan, who departed the cabinet in 2016 to become chair of the Treasury committee. After an influential stint there, in one of the most important select committee posts, leapt with gazelle-like agility back into Boris Johnson's new government, as culture secretary. It all makes for an entertaining set of elections, in any event. Meanwhile, the final votes on the Queen's Speech take place in the Commons, while peers may well vote to amend the EU Withdrawal Agreement Bill (the WAB) in their report stage debates on Monday and Tuesday. No-one should get the idea that their Lordships are seeking to block Brexit, whatever their feelings about it; they are looking at issues around the detail of the bill - notably whether to include guarantees for child refugees (the Dubs amendment), the level of parliamentary scrutiny for post-Brexit trade deals and negotiations with the EU, as the process unfolds, the length of the transitional period after Brexit Day on 31 January and the ability of ministers to direct the courts on the interpretation of EU law. What this will amount to is peers signalling their disquiet on points of detail, and then, probably, the Commons voting to reject their changes. While several little interludes have been set aside to allow \"parliamentary ping-pong\", in which the bill bounces between the Lords and Commons until its final form is agreed. My guess is that, once rebuffed, peers will accept the verdict of the Commons, although they might water down their changes and try again. Meanwhile, the other Brexit development to keep an eye on is the publication of the next wave of Brexit legislation - all kinds of bills are in the pipeline, and some may be published in the coming weeks. Here's my rundown of the week ahead: Monday 20 January The Commons opens (14:30) with Education Questions, which may well be followed by the usual post-weekend urgent question or ministerial statement. The day's main event will be final segment of the debate on the Queen's Speech, where the subject will be the economy and jobs. There are amendments down from the opposition parties - with Green MP Caroline Lucas regretting a lack of action to address the climate emergency; the SNP and Plaid Cymru regretting the end of free movement and urging that the Withdrawal Agreement Bill should not become law without legislative consent from the Scottish Parliament and the Welsh Senedd; the Lib Dems reference the climate emergency and social justice and Labour regret the continuation of a decade of austerity. The normal drill is for the Speaker to select the amendments from the official opposition - Labour, and the second largest opposition party, the SNP. He does have the scope to select a further amendment, building on the precedent set by Speaker John Bercow, back in 2013, when he allowed a group of Tory Brexiteers to put down an amendment calling for an EU referendum - but it would probably require exceptional circumstances for him to feel that was justified. In any event, given the government's majority, the amendments will not succeed. In the Lords (14:30) questions to minister range across human rights in Indian-administered Kashmir, the treatment of Uighurs in China, the commencement of operations of the Office for Environmental Protection and plans to replace the proposed UK Holocaust Memorial with a national memorial to all victims of extermination or genocide. Then comes the first day of report stage consideration of the European Union (Withdrawal Agreement) Bill - this is the point at which serious attempts to amend the bill will commence. It is likely to include an attempt by the super lawyers to amend the section giving ministers the power to direct the courts on interpretation of the law. Tuesday 21 January The Commons day opens (11:30) with Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy questions. Then comes the second reading of the Agriculture (Direct Payments to Farmers Legislative Continuity) Bill. This is an interim measure to ensure that farming subsidies continue to flow immediately after Brexit, confirming the same level of funding to devolved governments for direct payments for 2020 as for 2019. (This is not to be confused with the much more ambitious Agriculture Bill, which will create a new system of farm support, moving away from direct payments in England towards an approach where farmers are paid public money for \"public goods\" like improved air and water quality, tackling climate change or animal welfare.) That will be followed by a debate on the phase one report of the Grenfell Inquiry, which looked at the causes of the fire and recommended safety measures for tower blocks. Meanwhile, debates return to Westminster Hall, starting (09:30) with the Conservative, John Redwood, on growth strategy for the UK. Other subjects for debate include the contribution of music to the economy and society, led by Labour MP Conor McGinn. He wants to highlight the UK music industry's £5.2bn contribution to the economy last year, and the challenges it faces around Brexit, at grassroots level - including maintaining local venues and supporting artists - and in promoting and teaching music in schools. In the Lords, peers start early (11:00) to give themselves extra time for report stage consideration of the European Union (Withdrawal Agreement) Bill. They break at 14:30 for their usual question time, which will include the former Sea Lord, Lord West of Spithead, asking about the power generation problems affecting Type 45 destroyers, a question on how a federal or confederal system of government could be implemented in the UK, and on a strategy for dealing with alcohol abuse. After half an hour, the report stage consideration of the European Union (Withdrawal Agreement) Bill continues, including, probably an amendment from Labour's Lord Dubs and his allies to restore the child refugee provisions contained in an earlier version of the bill. That will be followed by what may be a rather perfunctory third reading debate (amendments at this stage are rare, but not completely unheard of) after which the bill will be sent off to the Queen, to be signed into law, if unchanged, or, if amended, back to the Commons to allow MPs to approve or reject any changes made by peers. Wednesday 22 January The Commons day opens (11:30) with questions to the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster and Minister for the Cabinet Office, Michael Gove, arguably the second most important member of the government. At 12:00 comes Prime Minister's Question Time, now restored to its traditional half-hour duration. The day's main legislating is on the second reading of the the Telecoms Infrastructure Leasehold Property Bill. This provides a bespoke process for telecoms network operators to gain access to blocks of residential flats and apartments to deploy, upgrade or maintain fixed-line broadband connections, where a tenant has requested the service but the landlord has repeatedly failed to respond. There's also an hour set aside for consideration of and Lords amendments to the European Union (Withdrawal Agreement) Bill - such a short debating slot that it suggests that almost any change their Lordships have proposed will be rejected out of hand. In Westminster Hall, debates include South Yorkshire Mayor Dan Jarvis (who remains an MP) on national productivity (09:30). After the election I highlighted Mr Jarvis as an MP to watch, making the case for more devolution within England to boost the economy; Labour MP Sarah Champion (11:00) raises the safety of all-lane running schemes on motorways. She will argue the schemes pose an unacceptable risk to the safety of road users and that the government has placed lives in jeopardy in the name of cost savings. Rotherham man Jason Mercer was killed last summer on the South Yorkshire stretch of ALR motorway. She will call for the rollout of ALR motorways to be halted and for immediate safety improvements on existing schemes so we do not see more deaths. Plaid Cymru's Westminster leader, Liz Saville Roberts, will lead a debate on the report of the Commission on Justice in Wales (16:30). She will argue that the current devolution settlement hampers crime prevention, because the law and order agencies are run from London, while the social services side of the equation is devolved; she says this bolsters the case for devolution of policing and justice to Cardiff. In the Lords (15:00) questions cover banning expiry dates on gift vouchers, bringing to justice those responsible for violence against journalists and the review of the continuation of the BBC licence fee at the next BBC charter review. Then, there's provision in the agenda to consider any Commons amendments to the European Union (Withdrawal Agreement) Bill - the expectation is that if MPs refuse to accept any changes made by peers, this is the point at which their resistance will crumble, and the government will get its way. Peers will then deal with a pair of justice orders and regulations: the Release of Prisoners (Alteration of Relevant Proportion of Sentence) Order 2019, and the Criminal Justice and Courts Act 2015 (Consequential Amendment) Regulations 2019. The purpose of these is to push back the point at which offenders sentenced to standard determinate sentences must be automatically released, from halfway through their sentence, to the two-thirds point. The government says its intention is to provide robust sentences for dangerous and serious offenders ensure that the time they spend in custody reflects the severity of their crimes and takes account of the risk they pose to the public. There's even a select committee hearing - I think the first public evidence-taking of the new Parliament, as the Lords International Relations and Defence Committee (10:10) opens its inquiry into sub-Saharan Africa. Giving evidence are former Secretary of State for International Development Andrew Mitchell MP and Labour's David Lammy, who will discuss how the UK's colonial history affects perceptions of sub-Saharan Africa. Thursday 23 January MPs begin their day (09:30) with half an hour of International Trade Questions, after which the Secretary of State, Elizabeth Truss, stays at the Despatch Box for more questions, in her other role as Minister for Women and Equalities. Next comes the Leader of the House of Commons, Jacob Rees-Mogg, with the weekly statement on forthcoming Commons Business. The main event will be the annual debate to mark Holocaust Memorial Day. In the Lords (11:00) the day begins with the introduction of another new peer, the Appeal Court judge, Baroness Hallett, who will sit as a crossbencher. Questions to ministers range across the environmental aspects of government trade policy, legislation to match the US government's sanctions powers, reducing homelessness and government policy on sanctions in Syria. That is followed by a 20-minute question time for the Culture Secretary, Nicky (now Baroness) Morgan, following the precedent set Lord Adonis and Lord Mandelson who were departmental ministers sitting in the Lords under Gordon Brown. The question time will be a regular event for as long as Baroness Morgan continues in the role. Then peers will debate two select committee reports, first on \"Fisheries: implementation and enforcement of the EU landing obligation and The EU fisheries landing obligation: six months on\" and then on the report from the Economic Affairs Committee: \"Rethinking High Speed 2\", which argued that the government should prioritise spending on transport infrastructure in the north of England over the controversial high speed rail project. With a report on HS2 from the financial watchdog, the National Audit Office due soon, a lively debate on the future of the scheme is going to be a major theme of the next few parliamentary months. The speakers list includes the former Transport Secretary, Lord Adonis, one of HS2's strongest supporters. Bring popcorn. Neither House is due to sit on Friday.",

That means it beat the most-watched moments of the Rio Olympics, which peaked at 11.1 million viewers. Judge Paul Hollywood said the show was going \"back to basics\" this year, with critics praising its winning recipe. Twelve new bakers were seen entering the Bake Off tent on Wednesday, tackling drizzle cakes, Jaffa cakes and a genoise sponge. Jane Beedle was named the first star baker of the series while church minister Lee Banfield - the oldest contestant at 67 - was the first to leave after Hollywood said one of his cakes was too dry. Banfield said: \"I've always enjoyed baking and at church I do regular baking demonstrations. I won't show the congregation how to make a Jaffa cake, I am not going to repeat that experience - I'll buy them a pack instead.\" Beedle, 61, seemed shocked to be first to receive the star baker accolade, after impressing with a lemon and poppy seed drizzle cake and a chocolate and orange cake in the final round. 'Well-oiled machine' Michael Hogan, in the Telegraph, noted the series had arrived \"in the nick of time to haul the nation out of its post-Olympic slump\". He said: \"The judges slipped straight back into their good cop/bad cop routine, while presenters Mel and Sue pepped up proceedings with double entendres and downright silliness. \"Bake Off's format is a well-oiled (well-buttered?) machine and it would be foolish to change a winning recipe.\" Jan Moir, in the Daily Mail, said it had been a \"triumphant return\" for the show. \"Beautifully edited, winningly constructed, it remains a cinnamon-scented, familiar old friend which has lost none of its charm or flair,\" she said. She also noted the innuendo for which the programme has become famous - both from the contestants themselves and hosts Sue Perkins and Mel Giedroyc - was \"present and correct\". The Guardian's Tim Dowling said the \"gas had been turned up a notch\" for the series opener. \"While it remains every inch the cosy affair you remember from past seasons, it sometimes has the feel of a wildly popular spectator sport desperately clinging to amateur status,\" he said. \"Over the years GBBO has evolved into a ratings champion, a celebrity mill and a major driver of weird-ingredient panic buying. No amount of bunting can disguise the pressure-cooker atmosphere.\" In The Independent, Sally Newell said: \"What I love about this show, apart from its warm predictability, is that for an hour, the only problems in the world are Bake Off.\" She mused: \"If only every day could be a Bake Off day.\" Some 13.4 million people tuned in to see Nadiya Hussain win the last series, making it the most-watched programme of 2015. Last year's opening episode was watched by 9.3 million viewers, according to overnight figures, peaking at 10 million. The Chronicles of Nadiya, a two-part series about Bangladesh hosted by Hussain, debuted straight after Bake Off and was seen by 4.5 million, a 20.5% share of the audience.

But Essex Chief Constable Stephen Kavanagh says professional drivers should also lose their jobs if caught. The Road Haulage Association supported the idea, but said it should apply to all road users. \"We need to normalise this as a stupid thing to do because too many people are dying on our roads,\" said Mr Kavanagh, who last week pulled over a lorry driver caught using his hand-held mobile phone. 'Black and white' \"We've got to make sure professional drivers understand they will be held to account not just by the police but by their employers. \"We need to see professional bodies saying if you get caught using your mobile telephone or texting while you're driving you will be sacked,\" said Mr Kavanagh. Essex Police and Crime Commissioner Nick Alston said it was an \"interesting idea\" and one which should be \"followed up\". Last year, 6,800 tickets were issued in Essex for illegal mobile phone use. Philip Scotney, of the Road Haulage Association, said with the availability of hands-free kits there was \"no excuse\" for breaking the law. 'Under pressure' However, he said Mr Kavanagh's call should extend to all drivers and not just those earning their living from the roads. \"We all see it happening. It is black and white, there is no grey. It is illegal,\" he said. \"For professional lorry drivers there is a specific section in our contracts about the use of mobile 'phones. It says 'don't do it'.\" Kevin Clinton, head of road safety at the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA), said: \"Using a phone behind the wheel should be investigated and dealt with as misconduct according to the company's disciplinary procedures. \"However, RoSPA would not say that an employee should be automatically sacked. \"The result of the disciplinary should depend on the circumstances, such as whether it is the first offence or a repeat offence, and whether the driver has been put under pressure to use the phone by the company.\"",

            "input": "By Bob HowardReporter, Money Box Judge Platt says Royal and Sun Alliance has used a subsidiary which inflates charges simply to boost profits. He found the subsidiary increased labour costs without carrying out any work itself and made other charges it could not account for. RSA Insurance said it strongly refutes any suggestion that it has acted inappropriately. Insurance agreements When a car is damaged in an accident, the victim's insurer normally arranges for the vehicle to be repaired by a garage and then passes the bill on to the at fault insurer to pay. In the case of RSA Insurance, the garage invoice is passed to its subsidiary, RSA Accident Repairs Limited, which then sends a separate bill to the at fault insurer. Insurers are not supposed to make a profit from repair work. However Radio 4's Money Box has learnt several insurers are disputing the size of claims being put in by RSA Insurance via its subsidiary RSA Accident Repairs Limited and are refusing to pay, claiming the subsidiary has added its own charges to the original garage bill which cannot be justified. RSA Insurance is then taking these companies to county courts seeking payment. One district judge estimates more than 100 such cases involving RSA Insurance are arriving at County Courts each week. The claim Judge Platt commented on was published on 2 September and was heard at Romford County Court. It involved RSA Insurance seeking £1,825 for a vehicle repair from the insurer Equity Red Star. Unjustified costs Judge Platt says the hourly rate for the repairs was increased from £36 to £39.50 an hour without explanation. £118 was added for a road test, cleaning and an environmental charge which was not on the original bill. And £110 added for taking the car to the garage and back when it was drivable and the owner lived nearby. Judge Platt said RSA Insurance was only entitled to claim £1,542 as that was the original bill submitted by the garage that had repaired the vehicle. He added that he could find no evidence that RSA Accident Repairs Limited had incurred other costs which it was justified in claiming: Judge Platt said: \"In my judgment the effect of inserting RSA Accident Repairs Limited as an intermediary simply inflates the ultimate cost by increasing the hourly rate and adding extra charges, one of which I have disallowed in any event as a fabrication, and another as not reasonably incurred.\" He added: \"Since RSA Accident Repairs Limited is wholly owned by RSA the effect of these extra charges if they are paid by defendants is simply to boost RSA Group's profits beyond the actual cost of repair by the margins inserted by RSA Accident Repairs Limited.\" He also sent out this warning for the insurance industry in general: \"If RSA Insurance is correct in its argument there is nothing to stop every insurer adopting the same procedures which, if this case is a typical example, will lead to an overall increase of some 25% in the cost of minor motor repair claims. That cannot be in the public interest.\" Claims disputes RSA Insurance said it was restricted in what it could say as it was referring the case to the High Court. It said: \"RSA takes very seriously any suggestion that it has acted inappropriately and strongly refutes any suggestion that it has acted so. Our model remains legal and compliant. \"However, to ensure that this remains the right approach and to avoid the need for further County Court litigation, we put in train a test case in the High Court in May of this year. In the meantime we have suspended any proceedings currently underway pending the outcome of that case.\" Several insurers are believed to now be refusing to pay out claims submitted by RSA Accident Repairs Limited unless original receipts are included. A spokesperson from The Co-operative Insurance said: \"We terminated our agreement with RSA Insurance earlier this year and as such we are only paying those claims submitted by RSA Insurance, where there is evidence presented of the cost of the repair.\" Under scrutiny David Creswell, a director of ABP Club which represents car repairers and insurers, says these disputes are proving very damaging. He added: \"The trust certain of the insurers have with RSA Insurance has gone to a very large extent. And he said it was ordinary people who pay their car insurance premiums would ultimately suffer. \"It is shocking. The whole principle is recovering the cost outlaid, not making a profit out of it.\" The car insurance industry is already under huge pressure to explain the recent rise in premiums. The Office of Fair Trading has launched an investigation and the government has said it will stop insurance companies receiving fees from personal injury lawyers.

Campaigners from West Row want the British Museum to rename the finds. But curator Richard Hobbs said the name was \"logical\" and treasures were \"invariably named after the local parish in which they are discovered\". The 34-piece Roman silver collection was discovered by ploughman Gordon Butcher and has been on display in the British Museum since 1946, earning a place in its top 10 list of British treasures. West Row parish councillor John Smith said locals had always \"felt slighted\" by the name, but the campaign gathered momentum after West Row was designated a parish in its own right in April 2019. \"It's wiping West Row off the map,\" he said, adding the museum made no mention of West Row. \"Everyone here is connected with the treasure in some way. It is who we are and it will never make sense until the right name is in place.\" The Mildenhall Treasure is described by the British Museum as \"one of the most iconic finds from Roman Britain\". Mr Hobbs, the curator responsible for the hoard, said it became associated with Mildenhall - a town and parish neighbouring West Row - as it was originally reported to its police station in 1946. \"The local coroner Thomas Wilson QC refers to the discovery being made 'at Mildenhall',\" Mr Hobbs said. \"This would imply that because the find was made within the Mildenhall parish, this was the name subsequently given to the find.\" Though the museum was not behind the naming, he added: \"In my view this remains the most logical way to describe it since it's the name of the parish in which the discovery was made.\" Mr Smith said the name had been \"wrongly attributed\". \"You cannot write history that way,\" he said. \"West Row has such an interesting history and a rich Roman heritage - we need to celebrate that.

            "input": "The Supreme Court of the United Kingdom has ruled that the government shut down Parliament illegally, just weeks away from the final Brexit deadline. But what does this all mean? And why is this so significant? This is about the impending Brexit deadline on 31 October. Prime Minister Boris Johnson has vowed the UK will leave the EU on that day - even if there is no deal with the EU about how it will work. But many lawmakers think a no-deal Brexit must be stopped at all costs. So on 28 August, when Mr Johnson announced Parliament would be suspended until mid-October, a huge row erupted. Mr Johnson said he was following normal procedure for a new leader. Rivals claimed he was trying to stop Parliament from opposing him. The Supreme Court has decided he acted illegally - a ruling that challenges Britain's unwritten constitution and the entire balance of power. The judges did not simply rule against the prime minister: this was the worst possible outcome for him. He is already facing calls from political opponents to resign. The court unanimously declared \"the prime minister's advice to Her Majesty was unlawful, void and of no effect\" when he asked the Queen to suspend Parliament. The decision \"had the effect of frustrating or preventing\" Parliament from carrying out its functions, it said. The court decided that the suspension of Parliament essentially never happened at all. The UK's Supreme Court is just 10 years old, and the courts have, historically, not intervened in politics to this extent. BBC legal correspondent Clive Coleman called it legal, constitutional and political dynamite - and said it was difficult to overestimate the significance of the ruling. How do you close down a parliament? The Supreme Court made clear it wasn't ruling on Brexit - but simply deciding if the prime minister could lawfully \"prorogue\" Parliament - a fancy word for suspending it. It's not an unusual move: new prime ministers usually do that to end one session of Parliament and start another, with a new legislative programme. In recent decades, it's usually lasted a week. Mr Johnson consistently said that was all he was doing. But he said the UK would leave the EU on 31 October no matter what - even if the controversial deal with the EU hadn't been agreed. That's hugely controversial, with members of Parliament (MPs) both in and out of his party worried that it would cause economic chaos. After the summer break, there were just two months until the deadline – and then Mr Johnson suspended Parliament for an unusually long five weeks, until 14 October. Chaos ensued. What were the consequences of proroguing? Inside Parliament, many of his own party members rebelled against him. More than 20 were expelled from the party. Some jumped ship to rivals. The prime minister's party lost its governing majority. Protests took place in the streets outside. But in the end, Parliament closed, because the prime minister had asked the Queen to do so. That was within the law. Or so everyone thought. Legal challenges were filed arguing that the prime minister was acting for his own political gain - and that the whole thing was a ruse. One court in England said the suspension was legal - but another in Scotland said the prime minister was trying to stop parliament holding his government to account. And so the case landed in the Supreme Court. Please upgrade your browser Your guide to Brexit jargon What happened in court? Part of the problem is that the UK doesn't have a written constitution like most other modern democracies. Instead, its constitution is based on hundreds of years of law and convention - which can be difficult to interpret. A group of more than 70 parliamentarians, a vocal campaigner over Brexit, and a former prime minister were all arguing against the government. There was plenty of colourful language. The lawyer for the Scottish group of MPs told the court it was about the \"mother of parliaments closed down by the father of lies\". The government's lawyer told the judges that interfering would be \"forbidden territory\". He warned them they would be walking into an \"ill-defined minefield\". In the end, the Supreme Court decided against the government. What happens next? Because the suspension was ruled unlawful, parliament is technically still in session, as if the whole thing never happened. Boris Johnson, meanwhile, said that his government would respect the court's decision - even though he strongly disagreed with it. The court said it was up to the Speaker of the House of Commons, John Bercow, and his counterpart in the House of Lords to decide what happened next, and they decided that both houses would reconvene on Wednesday. And when it comes to Brexit, there's a time limit. The prime minister still maintains that he will take the UK out of the EU on 31 October - despite the fact that in the small amount of time they were in session, Parliament passed a law requiring him to ask for yet another extension. He said that task was \"not made much easier by this kind of stuff in Parliament or in the courts\". That disagreement could lead to another political crisis, or another election. Or the EU might not agree to an extension even if asked. And now, more than three years after the Brexit vote, there are just 37 days left to sort it all out.",

The pair, who admitted murder at a previous hearing, believed their actions would \"exorcise a demon\" from Rogers and \"cleanse\" him of his crimes, the court heard. After praying, Lindley handed staff at HMP Long Lartin a note saying the killers had decided to \"free\" their victim from \"darkness\" and killed him on the afternoon of 7 June this year. White, 24, was given a whole life tariff for the killing - carried out while he was already serving a life sentence for the 2015 murder of his partner. 'Ordered by the Lord' Judge Robert Juckes QC heard White was jailed for at least 15 years at the Old Bailey in May 2016 after murdering his partner by stabbing her through the neck as she slept at their home in Hayes, west London. Lindley, aged 42, was serving an indeterminate sentence after he was jailed at Nottingham Crown Court in 2007 for his part in a violent distraction burglary. Lindley will serve at least 17 years of a life sentence for killing Rogers, who killed his mother Gillian Phillips and her friend David Oakes. On the day of the killing, paramedics pronounced Rogers dead at 18:24 BST and while the wing was in lockdown, Lindley passed a note to a prison officer, the court heard. In it, he wrote \"I was ordered by the Lord My God to free Brett Rogers. I know you will not see it this way but that is between you and God. I am of sound mind. Please can I speak to the Governor.\" The judge said White and Lindley planned Rogers' death about a week before attacking him.",

The venue is intended to be the most complete recreation yet of an indoor Jacobean theatre. Dominic Dromgoole, the Globe's artistic director, said the project was \"a leap into the unknown\". The 340-seat theatre, which is scheduled to stage its first public performances in January 2014, will enable the Globe to offer live theatre throughout the year. This is because the open-air Globe theatre only stages productions from April to October. US director Wanamaker always intended the Bankside site to have a second, indoor space alongside its open-air playhouse. Wanamaker, the father of My Family star Zoe, died in 1993 at the age of 74. When the Globe complex opened in 1997, the indoor theatre was left as a shell and has served as workshop and rehearsal studios. Now construction is fully under way, but another £1m needs to be raised to meet the £7.5m cost of the project, which receives no government subsidy. Dromgoole said the Sam Wanamaker Theatre would allow the Globe \"to continue its experimental vision of going back to the future\". \"We are doing it as an experiment, a leap into the unknown,\" he said at a launch event for the Jacobean theatre. Dr Farah Karim-Cooper, who chairs the Globe's Architecture Research Group, said: \"Our goal is to build a theatre Shakespeare might recognise.\" The first season of plays will not be announced until April 2013. Future productions are likely to include works by Jacobean dramatists such as Thomas Middleton (The Changeling) and John Webster (The Duchess of Malfi). Plays in the indoor venue will run from October to April, with other events over the summer, such as early chamber music and opera. Dromgoole said there would be \"a range of ticket prices\" with prices starting at £10 for standing tickets. He said that the performances would be \"largely, if not entirely, candle-lit\". Oliver Heywood, the theatre's senior architect, revealed that one of the key challenges had been \"getting the London Fire Brigade to agree to the use of up to 100 candles in a dark wooden theatre\". Professor Martin White, a leading scholar in theatre lighting, said health and safety officers were \"enthusiastic\" about the project. He said that a system for controlling the candles was built into the structure of Jacobean plays. \"The plays are divided into acts to enable the company to manage the candles, so they can be trimmed or replaced as part of the rhythm of the performance,\" he said. Dromgoole added: \"We've got a good [safety] record because we were granted the right to build the first thatched roof [in London] since the Great Fire of London, so they've made a special exception for us before.\" The design of the theatre is based on a series of drawings found at Worcester College Oxford in the 1960s, believed to be the earliest set of designs for an English theatre in existence. Marcus Coles, the new theatre's fundraising ambassador, said: \"Entering this timber hand-crafted candle-lit intimate space will be like tripping into the 1600s.\"",

            "input": "He said Gordon Brown and Tony Blair should not have allowed uncontrolled immigration from new EU states in 2004. He also pledged to ban recruitment agencies which use only foreign workers at the expense of \"local talent\". But the Conservatives said Labour had \"no credibility\" on immigration. In 2004, the government allowed free migration to the UK for workers from EU accession states including Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic. 'Dazzled' But its estimates that only about 13,000 people a year would come to the country were soon proved wrong, with a peak net migration figure, from the EU and elsewhere, of 252,000 in 2010. Some countries imposed transitional controls to slow the speed of movement. In a speech to the IPPR think-tank, Mr Miliband said: \"It was a mistake not to impose transitional controls on accession from Eastern European countries. We severely underestimated the number of people who would come here. We were dazzled by globalisation and too sanguine about its price. \"By focusing exclusively on immigration's impact on growth, we lost sight of who was benefiting from that growth - whose living standards were being squeezed. We became disconnected from the concerns of working people.\" He said Labour had told people concerned about the biggest peacetime migration to the UK to \"like it or lump it\" and that the public had been \"ahead of us\" on the issue. Many in the party blamed the effects on immigration, including the lowering of wages and pressures on social services, for the scale of Labour's defeat in the 2010 general election. Acknowledging that this was a factor, Mr Miliband said some employers had a \"nasty, brutish and short-term\" attitude to taking on staff, leading to greater exploitation of overseas and British workers. He added that cutting numbers of immigrants was part of the solution but \"not enough\". He also accused the government of being unrealistic in saying it will limit net migration to \"tens of thousands\", as the vast majority of those coming to the UK were from EU countries. Instead he promised measures including: He said he would not make \"promises that can not be kept\" on cutting immigration from within the EU, which is beyond the control of British governments. But he would seek ways to \"level\" the playing field for British workers in the jobs market. And he vowed that a future Labour government would introduce \"maximum transitional controls\" to limit migration if the EU expanded to include more countries. Referring to the phrase used by Mr Brown as prime minister, Mr Miliband said: \"We are not calling for 'British jobs for British workers' because you can't do that and we shouldn't promise it.\" The Labour leader said there was \"nothing wrong with anyone employing Polish builders, Swedish childminders or French chefs\". But he added: \"The problem we need to address is in those areas and sectors where local talent is locked out of opportunity.\" For the Conservatives, immigration minister Damian Green said: \"Until Ed Miliband supports the government's measures to cut and control immigration, Labour will have no credibility at all. \"Under his leadership, Labour have opposed our aim to get annual net migration down to the tens of thousands, and they have opposed the cap on economic migration, our changes to student visas and our reforms to family visas. \"They refuse to admit that immigration is too high, and they refuse to say immigration needs to come down.\" Shailesh Vara, the Conservative MP for North West Cambridgeshire, called for an apology from Mr Miliband. He said: \"Ed Miliband could actually start apologising to people such as myself and other Conservatives who in the past have tried to talk about immigration in a measured and sensitive way, but whenever we've tried to do that we've been accused of racism by the Labour Party.\" Sir Andrew Green, head of the Migration Watch think tank, told the BBC that Labour's \"real concern is that they've lost an awful lot of their own supporters, who of course are the people who, mainly, suffer the consequences of immigration on this scale, in terms of social housing and so on and so forth\". But he added: \"I think the other thing that was wrong with this discussion is that there's been a lot of focus on EU migration. \"The reality is this - in the Labour years there was net foreign immigration of three and a half million. Only one in five of those was actually from the European Union.\"",

The merger was recommended in a review last year, but Cardiff Met stated in July it would stand alone. The university said it wanted evidence the proposals were not \"unnecessarily high risk and high cost\". Mr Andrews launched his proposals for the future of higher education in Wales in November 2011, saying he wanted \"strong\" universities. Under the plans the three universities would join forces to create a new university for south east Wales. 'More information' Newport has agreed to merge with the University of Glamorgan.

It said it aimed to be in the top 10 of new UK universities within five years.

Mr Andrews said he believed all consultees affected by these proposals already had \"sufficient information available to them to respond meaningfully to the consultation process\".

            "input": "The first was that Britain still has the fourth largest military budget in the world, behind the USA, China and Russia. In these days of gloomy introspection about the decline of the UK's military might, it was to say the least, a surprise. But the second was no less amazing - that the personnel of G4S, a private British security company, is four times larger than the British Army. Chief executive Nick Buckles has outlined a potential loss of at least £30m on its £284m contract for the Olympics but it soon became apparent that this was a drop in the ocean. The company's revenue in 2011 was about £7.5bn - and is rising. G4S has a primary listing on London Stock Exchange, a former home secretary as \"group consultant\", and operations in over 125 countries - not bad for a security firm founded in 2004 and based in Crawley. This is a company whose previously accident-prone record - as Group 4 Securicor - in running prisons and providing military security, had been criticised in parliament and provoked global protests about its employment practices. And now the cash-strapped and resource-starved British Army has had to provide thousands of troops for the Olympics to fill the gap left by the failures of a private army. It all set me thinking about history. Where had I heard such stories before? The private army of the Honourable East India Company, that's where. The mother of all global multinationals, the story of the East India Company uncannily echoes that of modern giants, who trade in natural resources, make their profits and gain new spheres of influence through economic intervention. Founded in 1600 to exploit the trade with India, the company's shareholders were wealthy merchants and aristocrats and the keys to its success were both commercial and military. The shareholders of the East India Company were making huge profits from their commercial operations in India, operations that were secured and guarded by private armies working for the company and paid for by Indian taxpayers. And when things went horribly wrong it was the Indian and British taxpayers who suffered and the British government and British armed forces that had to step in to sort out the disaster. In the 17th Century India was not a single entity - it was divided between many different states. It was beset by internal divisions and Mughal power in the north was collapsing, which made it easier for the company to divide and rule. As always in history, where there is a vacuum the go-getters and money makers move in to fill it. There was a gold rush as the company began trading in Bengal under a permit from Shah Jehan, establishing textile factories in villages on the Hooghly River. They processed material from the village-based hand loom industry, and drew in hundreds of thousands of highly skilled weavers, dyers and washers, to manufacture a product now aimed at specific markets around Asia and in Britain. A crucial step came in 1717 when the increasingly powerless Mughal emperor in Delhi, acknowledging the facts on the ground, gave the company a grant of 38 villages near Calcutta, in what turned out to be a Faustian pact. Now other European powers, particularly the French, began to smell the sweet aroma of profit so the company had to swell its private army to protect its interests. At first the numbers were small - 2,200 Europeans and a similar number of native troops won the decisive battle at Plassey in Bengal in 1757 against the last independent Nawab of Bengal, who also had a tiny force from the French East India Company. A similar size force gained victory at Wandiwash in the south where, between the 1740s and the 1760s, the British and the French fought out another part of their global confrontation. Then in 1765 in Delhi, the Mughal Shah Alam formally awarded the British the \"diwan\" of Bengal - that is, the right to raise revenues. With that, the entrepreneurs were able to partly finance themselves with Indian taxpayers' money. Now the people of Bengal were paying their taxes to fund a private army to police them. What had begun as a speculative piece of Elizabethan merchant-venturing had entered a new phase. And the recruitment of security forces accelerated, especially of local personnel, fighting in company uniforms, and trained in British military discipline. A private army making profit for the company's shareholders with very little control from either the British or the Indian governments. Does this sound familiar? In the south between the 1760s and 1799 the company fought four wars with the Muslim rulers of Mysore who were French allies, ending in the siege of the island fortress of Seringapatam in 1799 in which Sultan Tipu was killed. The numbers of the armed forces at the disposal of the company had now soared to meet the new \"security\" opportunities. At Seringapatam their forces were 50,000 strong, the size of a big European army of the time. Investment grew, just as it would today, and in the next few years company profits rose astronomically. Their accounts registered with the British parliament show revenues rose from over £8m in 1794 to £13.5m in 1803. The value of this today is very difficult to calculate, whether you go for value in wages, prices, or real income, but that 1803 profit could be calculated as high as £48bn in today's money - a reasonable guess might be £20bn. G4S, Halliburton and Blackwater would be green with envy. This changing situation is revealed in the vast archive of the company now preserved in the British Library on a staggering 11 miles of subterranean shelving. In the aftermath of the victory over Tipu the governor-general Richard Wellesley, brother of the future victor of Waterloo, wrote: \"I shall retain full sovereignty of Seringapatam, for the company as being a tower of strength from which we may at any time shake Hindostan to its centre, if any combination should ever be formed against our interests. \"I shall not at present enlarge upon the advantages which are likely to be derived to the British interests from this settlement, they are too obvious to require any detailed explanation.\" The conquest had happened piecemeal and opportunistically. It was effected by mercenaries, picking off regional threats one by one, establishing themselves on the ground as the local power, employing local security personnel with powers of coercion, employment and imprisonment. By the 1830s the company archives reveal a shift from trade in textiles to the ownership of land, and at this point the colonial project acquired a new ideological tone, exemplified in Lord Macaulay's 1835 edict on Indian education, announcing the replacement of Persian by English as the new language of government and commerce. You could say this was the moment that English started to become the international means of communication and power. These interventionist attitudes form the background to the 1857 mutiny - the greatest rising against any colonial power in the Age of Empire, far surpassing in scale the other great revolts in Asia, Africa and the New World. By now the company depended on huge numbers of local troops, and there were many strands to native discontent. The spark of the revolt was a protest in the native army ranks against British insensitivity to Hindu religion, especially in the alleged use of rifle cartridges greased with cow fat. But it rapidly spread as a rebellion against foreign rule in which even Muslim jihadists made common cause with Hindus. As rebellion spread like wildfire up and down the Grand Trunk Road from Bengal to the Punjab, the very presence of Britain in India hung in the balance. The war that followed was conducted with horrific violence and savage reprisals by both sides. Both Hindu and Muslim rebels expressed their loyalty to the ageing Mughal Emperor in Delhi - Bahadur Shah - who after the defeat was exiled to Burma. His sons were killed in cold blood by the British who were shockingly merciless in their revenge. So the company's extraordinary rise to global power ended in catastrophe both for the shareholders and for the country in which they were operating. The rising of 1857 was a disaster for India, wrecking Mughal Delhi and its refined cultural life, and bringing devastation on its population, many of whose adult males were summarily massacred. But the rising was also a terrible shock to the British establishment, as it opened up to public gaze the workings of company rule. In the aftermath, in 1858 the British parliament stepped in to take direct control of its Indian possessions, nationalised the private army of the company and put an end to its 258-year existence in India. The company left behind a memory of corporate abuse, colonialism, exploitation and monopoly power, but as always there are many sides to any story in history. When the company was finally dissolved in 1874, the Times's judgement was that \"the company had accomplished a work such as in the whole history of the human race no other company ever attempted, and as such is ever likely to attempt in the years to come\". Given the events of the last few weeks, indeed of the last few years, it seems unlikely that G4S, Halliburton or Blackwater will be remembered in quite the same way.",

Campaigners have complained for years of being exploited by \"pubcos\". Pubcos are the large firms that own thousands of pubs and bars and decide where tied landlords can buy beer from and at what price. About half of all pubs in the UK are owned by pubcos. Business Secretary Vince Cable said he also wanted to establish a new statutory code to look at the relationship between pubcos and publicans, and which would be enforced by the adjudicator. The British Beer and Pub Association (BBPA) said it was disappointed that self-regulation had not been given a proper chance. \"Whilst the Association believes that statutory underpinning of recent industry reforms will result in unnecessary red tape and bureaucracy, it does however, welcome the endorsement of the tied house model and the clear distinction drawn between leases and traditional brewery tenancies,\" it said. BBPA chairman Jonathan Neame added: \"In the consultation, we will be urging the government to ensure that any statutory process is light-touch and cost-effective, to protect consumers from bearing the brunt of unreasonable additional costs.\" 'Genuine progress' The Fair Pint campaign, which aims to help publicans get a fair deal, welcomed the announcement. \"For far too long, tied pub tenants have been abused by big pub owning companies. Many have lost their livelihoods, savings and have lived in fear of losing their home,\" said publican and Fair Pint campaigner Simon Clark. \"Today's announcement comes after many years of highlighting this unfairness. \"There is work to be done on the detail and we believe that a free of tie option would be the best way of guaranteeing fairness in tied deals, but this represents genuine progress which will give a boost to publicans and consumers by increasing the viability of local pubs.\" The Campaign for Real Ale (Camra) has been calling for urgent action to help landlords against the financial pressures they face. Camra said in a report in November that 18 pubs a week were closing in the UK, up from 12 a week a year earlier. The government's proposals come a day before a scheduled House of Commons debate on a statutory code of practice for pub companies. The debate was forced by Labour, who have long been pushing for action to save pubs from closing. 'Hardship' The proposed adjudicator will have the power to carry out investigations and impose financial penalties. \"There is some real hardship in the pubs sector, with many pubs going to the wall as publicans struggling to survive on tiny margins,\" Mr Cable said. \"Some of this is due to pubcos exploiting and squeezing their publicans by unfair practices and a focus on short-term profits. \"I hope these measures mean publicans are given a fairer chance at running their pub, which in turn will help them grow their businesses instead of losing them.\" He added that he had given the pubcos one last chance to change their behaviour last year, but it was clear that the self-regulatory approach was not enough. Paul Kenny, general secretary of the GMB union, which has campaigned on behalf of pub landlords, said: \"If Vince Cable sticks to this plan, this is a welcome step forward. It is a tribute to the hard work by GMB-tied tenants who did not give up their demands for a fair deal.\" A formal consultation on the proposed measures will be launched in the spring.",

But university bosses say they have worked hard to plan for a safe return to all aspects of student life. It comes as daily recorded cases of coronavirus in the UK reached 1,715 in 24 hours, the highest since early June. Case numbers began edging up again in the UK in July, after falling in June - but are still much lower than the 5,000 new cases a day there were in April, at the peak of the epidemic. Experts say the increase in testing over recent weeks means more people with the virus are being detected. What's the union saying? The UCU's Jo Grady says having tens of thousands of students heading into cities across the UK \"risks doing untold damage to people's health and exacerbating the worst public health crisis of our lifetimes\". She told BBC Breakfast the mass migration of a million students could prompt a \"silent avalanche of infections\". \"There is far more of a risk than perhaps the general public has appreciated,\" she said, adding that universities were not prepared and risked becoming the \"care homes of the second wave\". Dr Grady said Manchester would see 100,000 students arriving, Birmingham 80,000, and Leicester 40,000. \"These are all cities that have had some form of local lockdown and have come out of it or are about to go into one,\" she said. And she warned the higher number of students expected at universities this year would make social distancing harder. What's been the response? Universities UK, which represents campus leaders, says many staff want to return to face-to-face teaching and research \"where it is safe and appropriate to do so\". They are mindful of the benefits of in-person teaching and support for students' well-being and development, its president, Prof Julia Buckingham, said. The government says it is \"confident that universities are well prepared for the return of students by taking measures such as introducing social distancing on campus, limiting travel requirement for classes and staggering teaching across extended days to reduce numbers on site\". It said guidance is \"under constant review\" to reflect the latest public health advice such as 2m distancing, or 1m plus with measures such as face coverings. Prof Jonathan Ball, a virologist at the University of Nottingham, said universities were aware students returning to campus might be \"a potential flair point for coronavirus infection\" and were taking that risk \"seriously\". He said universities would have their own rules and guidance, with sanctions \"for students who willingly, knowingly break the rules of engagement\". But he cited veterinary students who had already returned to Nottingham, whom he praised for their \"incredibly good\" behaviour and attitude. \"We have to allow these students to get the education that they have worked hard for - and to enjoy university life as much as is possible at the moment,\" he told BBC News. What are experts saying? Prof Carl Heneghan, director of the Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine at the University of Oxford, says it is safe for students to return to universities. He told Breakfast that \"right now it is as safe as it ever has been\" to go back to campuses. But he suggested universities could put back face-to-face teaching until the end of the academic year in spring or summer 2021, when the threat from coronavirus might have reduced. \"Can we do something over the summer, can we put a summer school on?\" he asked, adding: \"We need to maximise that [teaching] experience.\" Second wave fears don't reflect how life has changed The language used by unions is very strong. There are plenty of infectious disease and public health experts who would not paint the threat in such extreme terms. Whenever we hear about risks of a second wave or a sharp rise in cases we need to consider where we have come from. The initial surge happened because the virus was spreading pretty much undetected for a period. It was certainly more widespread than the UK and other countries realised in February and March. By the time lockdown came there were an estimated 100,000 new infections a day in the UK. Today we have over 1,000 confirmed infections a day, on average. Of course some are going undetected, but it is clear the virus is currently under control. As people circulate more - going back to work, schools and university - the likelihood is infections will rise. But everyday life has completely transformed from what it was in February - there are many reasons why a second surge in infections like the first can, and should, be avoided. What will university look like during coronavirus? Students preparing for the new university term can expect changes on campuses - much like those that have affected other aspects of life since March. Strict cleaning measures, lots of hand sanitiser, one-way systems and capacity limits for places such as the library and coffee shop will be common. Close-knit seminars and office hours with lecturers are unlikely to take place face-to-face as they did before. At the University of Leicester, students and staff will be screened for Covid-19 from October using a new form of mass testing developed by the institution's academics. Vice-chancellor Prof Nishan Canagrarajah told the BBC Leicester would regularly test as many as 10,000 students and staff to monitor infections throughout the academic year, alongside NHS Test and Trace. There will also be staggered arrival times to prevent all students returning to the city at once, he said. Almost all institutions will be making greater use of online teaching methods for students studying non-practical subjects. Aside from studies, Swansea University said plans to keep students safe included \"bubbles\" among flatmates, meaning a ban on parties or having people over to stay. And nights out will look different, too. The University of Sheffield's student union has implemented an ordering app and table service, making its bars less crowded. In Manchester, a student union is building outdoor \"greenhouses\" for drinkers to book in advance. Nightclubs remain closed due to continued national restrictions.",

It took 12 minutes for the Falcon to get the Dragon into the right part of the sky and drop it off. \"Well done, that was one heck of a ride,\" crew commander Mike Hopkins radioed down to controllers. \"Congratulations to everyone. Resilience is in orbit.\" \"Resilience\" is the name the astronauts have given their capsule. The ship will use its own thrusters to complete the rest of the journey up to the station. A docking with the orbiting platform is set for about 0400 GMT on Tuesday. When the team arrives, it will join Nasa's Kate Rubins and Russian space agency (Roscosmos) cosmonauts Sergey Ryzhikov and Sergey Kud-Sverchkov. Having seven people on the 410km-high outpost will triple the amount of science that can be performed in its special microgravity environment. SpaceX has signed contracts with Nasa valued in excess of $3bn (£2.3bn) to develop, test and fly an astronaut taxi service. As part of this relationship, the company ran a demonstration mission in May in which astronauts Doug Hurley and Bob Behnken were taken to the station and then returned safely to Earth. The contracted arrangements also call for six \"operational\", or routine, missions - this flight being the first. \"The big milestone here is that we are now moving away from development and test and into operational flights. And in fact this operational flight was licensed by the Federal Aviation Administration. So this is a truly a commercial launch,\" commented Nasa Administrator Jim Bridenstine. Nasa has a similar deal with the Boeing aerospace company, although its service is more than a year behind SpaceX. The agency says its new model of contracting out transportation to low-Earth orbit is saving billions of dollars in procurement costs. It intends to use these economies to fund its Moon and Mars ambitions. To that end, Nasa is close to testing the giant new rocket it has commissioned to take astronauts back to the lunar surface, a goal it hopes to attain in 2024, or soon after. Hopkins, Glover, Walker and Noguchi will stay on the ISS for six months. Just before they return to Earth, they'll be joined aloft by another SpaceX-launched crew for a brief handover. Indeed, the coming year is going to be very busy for the Californian service provider with plenty of trips up to the station being made by both its crewed and cargo-only versions of Dragon. \"In the next 15 months, we should be flying roughly seven Dragon missions. And this mission represents the initiation of a Dragon in orbit continuously - knocking on wood - and certainly is really the beginning of a new era in human spaceflight,\" said SpaceX's Gwynne Shotwell. The company president was in attendance at Kennedy, carrying out media duties in place of founder and CEO Elon Musk who is said to be suffering a mild case of Covid. Nasa retired its winged space shuttles in 2011. In the intervening years, it's been buying seats for its astronauts on Russian Soyuz vehicles. This purchase option will now close in favour of the new American-sourced taxis. But US astronauts will continue to go to the station on Soyuz from time to time - it's just that no money will change hands. Instead, Russian cosmonauts will get flights in the American capsules in exchange. The new crew will have at least four spacewalks to perform in their time at the station. In one of those walks, they will install the first significant UK industrial contribution to the platform. This is the ColKa communications terminal. Made by MDA UK, the radio equipment will enable astronauts to connect with scientists and family on Earth at home broadband speeds. ColKa will be fixed to the exterior of Europe's ISS research module, Columbus. The UK participates on the station through its membership of the European Space Agency, an intergovernmental organisation that is a separate legal entity to the European Union. Will the UK have a seat on a space taxi? Libby Jackson, UK Space Agency The UK participates in the International Space Station, because the UK Space Agency exploration programme is part of the European Space Agency programme. We already have British scientists who are able to use the facilities on the ISS. And there are some experiments in development now to be carried out aboard the space station in the coming years. One, called the BioAsteroid project, run by the University of Edinburgh, will investigate how gravity affects the interaction between microbes and rock in reduced gravity. Astronauts on these space taxis will be taking these UK-led experiments to and from the space station. And much of the science can actually be operated remotely from the ground. We may well also see British astronauts flying on this vehicle in the future, too.",

            "input": "By Arinjay Banerjee University of Saskatchewan The World Health Organization now believes a \"turning point\" might have been reached in the fight against the disease. But how does the scientific community define the scale of the problem, and that of other of other transmissible diseases as they emerge? What's the difference between an outbreak, epidemic and pandemic? An outbreak is the sudden occurrence of a disease in a community which has never experienced the disease before, or when cases of that disease occur in numbers greater than expected in a defined area. For example, when there is a sudden increase in the number of measles cases in a particular region, it is termed an outbreak. An outbreak affects a smaller geographic region, probably a county or a city, but for infections not seen before, the term can be used for the entire region affected by the disease. Ebola started off as an outbreak, since it was detected for the first time in West Africa. It is now being termed an epidemic due to its geographical spread and the number of people infected. An epidemic is the occurrence of a group of illnesses of similar nature and derived from a common source, in excess of what would be normally expected in a community or region. The Sars epidemic of 2003 is a classic example. Epidemics eventually spread out via means of long distance travel, migration of infected animals or aerosols. Sometimes the speed of spread of disease determines whether it is classified as an outbreak or an epidemic. For example, the slow moving E.coli outbreak in 2011 in Western Europe in 2011 remained classified as an outbreak, even though many people were eventually affected over a wide area. A pandemic refers to a worldwide epidemic, which could have started off as an outbreak, escalated to the level of an epidemic and eventually spread to a number of countries across continents. The 2009 flu (H1N1) pandemic is the most recent in human history. Airborne organisms seem to have the highest pandemic potential. Two things that indicate the seriousness of an infectious disease are the number of people affected or killed, and the geographical spread of the disease. However, no clear-cut number is assigned to any of these definitions. Government policy may influence the label given to a disease. For instance, labelling a disease as an epidemic or pandemic could lead to travel restrictions and affect trade (exports). It can have a major impact on the disease-affected country's economy. Sometimes governments and authorities do not want to call an outbreak an epidemic simply to avoid panic. What are emerging and re-emerging diseases? An emerging disease is one that has appeared in a population for the first time or one, which may have existed before, but is rapidly increasing in incidence. Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) is an example of an emerging disease. It appeared in Saudi Arabia in 2012, but now there are reported cases in the Middle East, Asia, Africa, Europe and North America. Re-emerging diseases are those that have historically infected humans, but continue to appear in new locations or reappear after apparent control or elimination. Most of the re-emerging disease agents appeared long ago and have survived and persisted in the environment. For example, due to decline in vaccination against measles, the measles virus could re-emerge and affect a large number of individuals. Thus it becomes important to continue vaccinating susceptible individuals against all bugs, which could re-emerge, unless the organism has been eradicated, for example smallpox. What are the most persistent endemic diseases and why? A disease is described as endemic when it is habitually present within a given geographic area. For example, rotavirus diarrhoea is endemic in India, and Nipah virus, endemic in South-east Asia, more specifically Bangladesh. There are several reasons why a disease could become endemic in a region. The lack of vaccine or prophylactic treatment may enable the disease to linger. Climate and geographical location also plays an important role in the survival of a disease-causing organism. For example, Dengue is more likely to become endemic in a tropical region, where mosquitoes and water-logging are common. The presence of animal reservoirs is another factor that could cause a disease to become endemic. Non-human primates in Africa maintain the life cycle of yellow fever. This becomes a source of occasional spillover to humans and the disease remains in the area for a long time. The presence of susceptible host and a low mortality rate may enable a disease-causing agent to become endemic. If a virus kills a host, it has to look for another host to continue replicating. If an affected region was cleared of susceptible individuals, by virtue of high mortality of the disease, the disease would die out eventually as well. Finally, the duration of time that a virus can remain active outside the host in the environment is also important. Some viruses such as HIV do not persist for long outside the host and are inactivated, whereas smallpox at room temperature could have remained infectious for years.",

London King's Cross station was closed on Saturday after engineering work over-ran, leaving thousands of people unable to return home from Christmas. London Paddington was also temporarily shut after work did not finish on time. Many hundreds of people were left queuing in freezing temperatures after being diverted to Finsbury Park station in north London, which was being used as a temporary terminal, before it was closed on police advice. The problems continued into Sunday morning, with some trains arriving into King's Cross up to 90 minutes late. By Monday, normal service had resumed. Mr Carne told the BBC one of the changes he had made when he started in the post earlier this year was to reduce the biggest possible bonus he could get from 160% to 20%, of his salary, or around £135,000. He apologised about the disruption caused by the over-running works. Network Rail owns Britain's rail infrastructure, including track, stations and signals, and is in charge of maintaining and updating the network. 'Enormously disruptive' Mr Carne did not say for sure whether or not he would be taking his bonus. \"I have reduced the bonus from 160% to 20%. We have made significant steps to defuse the issue of bonuses. We have had a very difficult time over the festive period,\" he said. Mr Carne said he had launched a review into what went wrong and who was responsible for the situation on the 27 December, adding the results would be published by 9 January. He said it was likely to be an \"issue\" of the projects section of his business, rather than operations. But he defended the company's choice to run the work over the Christmas period, as half the number of people used the railways compared with non-holiday times. But the Network Rail boss added: \"This was an enormously disruptive period of time.\" Transport Secretary Patrick McLoughlin welcomed Mr Carne's assurances that he and Network Rail would be learning lessons from the delays.

Passengers deserve real action and I will be holding Network Rail to this commitment.\" 'Use passengers' views' He said it was \"right\" for Mr Carne to have his bonus slashed as the authority's performance had been found \"wanting\".

            "input": "By Rupert Wingfield-HayesBBC News, Tokyo The answer from the Japanese government is that whaling is an ancient part of Japanese culture, that fishermen have caught whales for centuries, and that Japan will never allow foreigners to tell its people what they can and cannot eat. One Japanese official once said to me: \"Japanese people never eat rabbits, but we don't tell British people that they shouldn't\". I pointed out that rabbits are not exactly an endangered species. Still, there is some merit to the government's argument. A number of coastal communities in Japan have indeed hunted whales for centuries, and continue to do so. Taiji in Wakayama prefecture is well known, many would say infamous, for its annual dolphin hunts. There are other places, in Chiba Prefecture and in Ishinomaki in northern Japan, that also do coastal whaling. So, yes, coastal whaling is part of Japanese culture, like Norway and Iceland and the Inuit of northern Canada. But only Japan continues to sail a fleet of ships half way across the globe to hunt whales in the Antarctic and maintains a large factory ship that can process hundreds of whales at sea. Nothing about these Antarctic whaling expeditions is historic. Japan's first whaling voyage to the Antarctic took place in the mid-1930s but the really huge hunts didn't get going until after World War Two. Japan lay in ruins, its population starving. With the encouragement of General Douglas MacArthur, Japan converted two huge US Navy tankers into factory ships and set sail for the Southern Ocean. From the late 1940s to the mid-1960s whale meat was the single biggest source of meat in Japan. At its peak in 1964 Japan killed more than 24,000 whales in one year, most of them enormous fin whales and sperm whales. Today Japan can afford to import meat from Australia and America. There is no deep-sea commercial whaling in Japan. The fleet that is now hunting in Antarctic waters is paid for by Japanese taxpayers to carry out what the Japanese government describes as \"scientific research\". Japan's other justification is that it needs to kill hundreds of whales each year to study them. But the International Court of Justice (ICJ) has systematically dismantled that argument. In 2014 it ruled that there was no scientific case for Japan's programme of \"lethal research\" in the Southern Ocean, and ordered Tokyo to stop. For a year Japan stopped. But last year it sent its fleet to sea again insisting, to widespread disbelief, that its new, smaller, Antarctic whaling programme satisfies the ICJ's requirements. Junko Sakuma used to work for Greenpeace in Japan. For the last 10 years she has been researching Japan's whaling industry. \"There is no benefit to Japan from whaling...but nobody knows how to quit,\" she tells me at Tokyo's famously chaotic Tsukiji fish market, the biggest in the world renowned for its pre-dawn tuna auctions. Of the thousands of fish wholesalers in Tsukiji only two still deal in whale meat. At one stand we find a few large hunks of minke whale meat, deep red and oozing blood. At the next there are two long slabs of lighter-coloured fin whale meat, an endangered species, its trading banned by CITES. Business is bad, complains the stall owner. Last year Japan caught no whales in the Antarctic, so there is less minke whale meat available, he says. If there is a whale meat shortage, the price should be soaring. But according to Junko it is not. \"The fact is, most Japanese people do not eat whale meat,\" she says. \"Consumption has been falling for years,\" and adds that \"even as the amount of whale meat decreases, the price doesn't go up\". According to Junko's research, the average consumption of whale meat by Japanese people in 2015 was just 30g (one ounce) per person. If eating whale is such an integral part of Japanese culture, why are so few eating it? I turn to my old friend Etsuo Kato. Over the 20 years we have known each other he has, on occasion, tried to persuade me to eat whale meat with him. Kato-San grew up in Kita-Kyushu in western Japan, close to the big whaling port at Shimonoseki. We are sitting in a cosy restaurant in Tokyo's notorious red light district, Kabukicho. Above us hangs a very large, and rather ancient, mummified whale penis. On the wall are picture of whales. The first plate to arrive is whale sashimi - it is raw. The owner points to the different delicacies; steak, heart, tongue and even raw whale skin. My stomach turns, but I steel myself. Gingerly, I put a bit of raw whale steak into my mouth. It has a strong gamey flavour, chewy and fibrous. Next, I try the tongue. It is salty and fishy. Kato-San points to the heart. I politely decline. \"When I was a child I ate this every day,\" he says. \"Meat meant whale meat. I didn't know what beef was, or pork. Steak was whale steak, bacon meant whale bacon.\" But if Japan stopped whale hunting you would be sad? He looks at me smiling and gently shaking his head. \"I don't need whale hunting\" he says. \"Once you have eaten beef there is no need to eat whale meat.\" The other customers in the restaurant are all middle-aged salary men. Eating a bit of whale meat is nostalgic, remembering school meals 50 years ago. So I come back again to my original question: why does Japan still do it? Recently I was at a private briefing with a high-ranking member of the Japanese government. Japan had just announced it was going to resuming whaling. I outlined to him why I thought it made no sense, and asked him to respond. His answer was astonishingly frank. \"I agree with you,\" he said. \"Antarctic whaling is not part of Japanese culture. It is terrible for our international image and there is no commercial demand for the meat. I think in another 10 years there will be no deep sea whaling in Japan.\" \"So why not stop now?\" asked another journalist. \"There are some important political reasons why it is difficult to stop now.\" he said. He would say no more. But Junko Sakuma thinks the answer lies in the fact that Japan's whaling is government-run, a large bureaucracy with research budgets, annual plans, promotions and pensions. \"If the number of staff in a bureaucrat's office decreases while they are in charge, they feel tremendous shame,\" she says. \"Which means most of the bureaucrats will fight to keep the whaling section in their ministry at all costs. And that is true with the politicians as well. If the issue is closely related to their constituency, they will promise to bring back commercial whaling. It is a way of keeping their seats.\" It may seem incredibly banal. But Japan's determination to continue whaling may come down to a handful of MPs from whaling constituencies and a few hundred bureaucrats who don't want to see their budgets cut.",

A new drug has been developed that targets cancer cells, stopping them in their tracks before they have time to multiply and travel through the body. Scientists said the disease would become less of a clinical problem. A team at the institute of cancer and genetics at the University Hospital of Wales has been working on the project which has been led by Prof Chris Pepper, who has worked on the disease for 20 years. \"These drugs will transform the outlook for patients, without a doubt,\" he said. \"They are massively going to change the landscape for individual sufferers of this disease. \"I confidently predict that within 10 years certainly, and probably five years, this disease will become much less of a clinical problem. \"And people like me won't be working on this disease much longer. These new agents are likely to completely alter the clinical path of this disease.\" The team's research has focused on three main elements of CLL: That treatment has resulted in the development of a drug called Ibrutinib. Cancer cells It is already in advanced clinical trials in the UK and is expected to be licensed for use in Wales by the end of the year. The drug targets cancer cells, stopping them in their tracks before they have time to multiply and travel throughout the body. When the CLL cells circulate around the bloodstream, some of them burrow their way through the blood vessel wall and escape into the body's solid tissues, attaching themselves to the lymph nodes or bone marrow. That is when the cancer cells multiply and become a clinical problem. Cardiff University's research has concluded that one particular molecule in the body - NF KappaB - plays a critical role in determining whether the tumour cells escape the blood vessel. The drug Ibrutinib will target this molecule and get the cells to break free from the solid tissues and recirculation around the bloodstream. Prof Pepper is confident that his team's research will change how CLL is treated in the coming years. \"I'm not suggesting that we're going to cure this disease or completely eradicate the leukaemia,\" he added. \"But what I'm telling you is that these drugs will effectively arrest the progression of the disease. \"So patients will be able to live with a normal age-adjusted life expectancy with their disease.

Looming Ministry of Defence cuts led to speculation the carriers may not be constructed on the Clyde and at Rosyth. Mr Salmond said it was one of the biggest issues facing the economy. The first minister has written to Labour's Iain Gray, Scottish Tory leader Annabel Goldie and Lib Dem Tavish Scott, as well as the Scottish Greens' Patrick Harvie and Independent MSP Margo MacDonald. The letter states: \"Clearly there are areas where it will not be possible to reach agreement. \"However, there will be a number of areas where agreement will be possible - particularly the economic impact of the Strategic Defence and Security Review (SDSR). \"As I said in parliament, we should make a joint submission from all parties covering these core arguments, and this should be sent to the Secretary of State for Defence as soon as possible.\" He called for a meeting of Scottish political party representatives on Monday to discuss the issue. Mr Salmond's move came after Mr Gray called for unity during question time at Holyrood on Thursday. Meanwhile, Scottish Secretary Michael Moore, a Lib Dem MP, said he had stressed the economic need for retaining the carriers to ministerial colleagues. He added that a meeting between MoD and devolved administrations would take place within the next fortnight. Scottish Conservatives leader Annabel Goldie was the first of the Scottish leaders to publicly accept Mr Salmond's invitation to discuss the UK defence review. Miss Goldie said: \"I think it extremely important that there is a robust and cogent argument presented for Scotland to the defence review. \"We must reflect the core importance, not just to the UK defence facility, but also to the Scottish economy and our Scottish communities of the significant UK defence presence here in Scotland. \"To me there is impact and strength if that submission can reflect cross-party agreement. We are all in this together, to do our best for Scotland.\" Defence savings The meeting will take place in St Andrew's House in Edinburgh on Monday morning. It will be attended by Deputy First Minister Nicola Sturgeon, Labour's Iain Gray, Jeremy Purvis for the Lib Dems and Miss Goldie for the Conservatives. A government spokesman said Mr Salmond would be in Spain where he had \"long-standing\" engagements, linked to key economic announcements. As the UK government seeks to cut the spending deficit, Mr Fox aims to save money in procurement and administration while prioritising front-line operations. His emphasis on the need for much closer working with key European allies has led to speculation that plans for the two new aircraft carriers by 2018 - costing £5bn - could be scaled back. Sir Ian King, chief executive of defence contractor BAE systems, previously disclosed the company had been asked to consider a number of options ranging from \"one carrier to no carrier\". Mr Salmond said the Scottish government had prepared a dossier to spell out the \"full implications\" of the cancellation of one or both projects. It claims it could lead to between 5,000 and 10,000 job losses.",

The reason for the cutback was budget constraints. In previous years, cutting took place twice a year and up to five times in urban areas. '£2m has been saved' In June 2017 the DfI said: \"Regrettably, the department will not be able to fund councils to cut grass this year.\" It said all roadside verges and sightline grassed areas would only be cut at least once in the period April-October 2017. That did happen, according to a response to a Freedom of Information (FOI) request submitted by BBC News NI. The FOI also revealed that almost £2m has been saved by reducing grass cutting and environmental works since 2013/14. \"Budgetary constraints have had a significant impact on road maintenance service delivery in recent years,\" a spokesperson said. \"Since 2013/14, the last year the department carried out a full road maintenance service, spend on grass cutting, weed spraying, tree cutting and emergency works has been reduced from £6.6m per annum to £4.7m.\" However, the FOI response states that the budget set out by the Northern Ireland secretary in March 2018, allows for the 2018/19 maintenance programme to include an \"enhanced grass cutting service\". \"This will ensure all roadside verges and sightline grass will be cut at least twice in the period between April and October and a full weed spraying service. \"This work has already commenced across the region.\" The total number of enquiries made about grass cutting, overgrown weeds and the restriction of sightlines between May 2017 and May 2018 was 3,574 across all of Northern Ireland.

She's the first person in the UK to be subject to an Unexplained Wealth Order - a court measure designed to uncover suspected corrupt money hidden in the UK by foreign officials and their families. Mrs Hajiyeva, who denies any wrongdoing, is married to Azerbaijan banker Jahangir Hejiyev, who was convicted and jailed for a massive fraud against a state bank in their home country. If she cannot prove a legitimate source for her enormous wealth in the UK, the National Crime Agency is expected to apply to seize her Knightsbridge home, situated just behind Harrods, and their Berkshire golf course. Expensive ring needed repair During an application on Monday for permission to hold the ring for six months, Westminster Magistrates Court heard that it had been seized last Friday after investigators identified it at a branch of Cartier jewellers. The ring is described as an 8.9 carat \"emerald-cut diamond\". It was bought by Mrs Hajiyeva's husband for £1,190,640 and their daughter, Leyla Mahmudova, had taken it to Cartier in July for repair. Mrs Hajiyeva - who is fighting not just to keep her home but also to avoid extradition to Azerbaijan - was not represented at the hearing and the application was granted unopposed. District Judge Michael Snow said: \"There's a clear evidential link between the ring and Mr Hajiyev and he has been convicted of substantial fraud. \"That satisfies me that there are grounds to suspect that this is recoverable property.\" That means the NCA can hold the ring in secure storage while it looks into where the money came from to buy it. Last November, the NCA seized £400,000 of jewellery from the world-famous Christies auction house, which had been put up for auction by Mrs Hajiyeva's daughter.

            "input": "A Centre for Social Justice (CSJ) report, to be published on Monday, says the arrest of leading gang members led to chaos in some areas when younger youths filled the power vacuum. It calls for more support for families and communities to prevent young people joining gangs. Ministers say a £10m fund is helping to target gangs and \"seeing results\". A government spokesman said the coalition's strategy on violence and gangs made clear the problem could not be tackled through police enforcement alone. The Home Office's report Ending gang and youth violence has already put a focus on early intervention to stop young people becoming involved in gangs as well as providing support to members wanting to break with their past. The CSJ acknowledged the government strategy \"put forward a range of positive initiatives\" but says it appeared to be \"losing commitment\". \"If fully implemented, these are promising first steps. But contributors to this report have told us that this strategy is not translating into the genuine transformation of communities,\" it said. The CSJ says many charities have been unaware the cash was available and accuses authorities of a lack of follow-up work with junior gang members. It highlights a marked increase in the number of girl gang members and a rise in sexual violence within gangs. 'Nobody if you haven't killed' The Centre for Social Justice was set up by Work and Pensions Secretary, Iain Duncan Smith, in 2004. Prime Minister David Cameron promised an \"all-out war on gangs and gang culture\" following the riots which took hold of many English cities including London, Manchester and Liverpool. A year on, the think tank asked organisations and charities how they felt gang culture had changed in the light of government response. Many drew a picture of little or no progress, it says, and \"some have even suggested that the problem is becoming worse\". It says: \"Many in Whitehall regard the riots as a random one-off, and mistake the quashing of the disorder as control of the streets. They could not be more wrong. \"The alarming fact is that many streets across the country are besieged by anarchy and violence.\" CSJ researchers spoke to people in riot-hit areas who reported a \"marked increase\" in the violent behaviour of some gangs, because of the removal from the streets of \"elders\" who had previously imposed a code of behaviour. Such unwritten codes had meant, for example, that a rival gang member could not be shot while he was with his mother, it says. The report describes an incident in which a young gang member held a gun to the head of a rival gang member's baby. The person relating the incident remarked \"you're seen as 'a nobody' if you haven't killed someone\". Jermaine Lawlor - a former gang member who now works for a charity - told BBC News the arrest of a gang leader could provoke its members to commit more crimes. \"It's almost like a vacancy is free,\" he said. \"The leader's not there and depending on what sentence they get, usually the underdogs step up and try to get that position, so there is a need for more crime because crime proves your status.\" Youth worker Patrick Regan, who runs the XLP charity in south London and was interviewed by the CSJ for its report, said ministers had adopted a short term approach. \"I'm not going to run a project for six months... It is tough, it is a long haul and it may take a generation,\" he said. 'Serious social breakdown' The CSJ says one in five of those arrested so far in London after the riots - 337 suspects - was a known gang member. One of the CSJ's central conclusions is that the \"drivers of gang culture\" need to be addressed, as well as the symptoms. The report says: \"Nearly a year on from the publication of the government's gangs strategy, there is a danger that the enthusiasm for change developed after the riots is being allowed to go cold... \"The surest way of eliminating gangs is to try to ensure that children and young people never want or feel the need to join them. \"To do this we need to tackle deeper issues in our society and seek to nurture and support ever-strong families and stronger communities.\" A government spokesman highlighted a network of Young People's Advocates to provide support to victims of gang-related sexual violence and the introduction of gang injunctions for 14-17 year olds. \"There are no quick fixes but we are seeing results. The Crime Survey for England and Wales shows that crime is down by 6%, and police figures show knife crime is down by 9%.\"",

Levi Bellfield, 42, denies abducting and murdering Milly and attempting to kidnap another girl in March 2002. Asked about notes in which Milly had said she was unhappy, Mrs Dowler told the court they were a \"happy family\". Mrs Dowler sobbed when Jeffrey Samuels QC, defending, asked her about letters Milly wrote which suggested Gemma, 16, was the favoured daughter. Once she regained her composure, Mrs Dowler replied: \"I was not aware of that. I was shown the note and it was not true. She never said that to me.\" 'Nervous breakdown' When she was asked about hidden poems and a \"goodbye\" letter that were found after Milly's disappearance, she said such notes were common among girls her age. She also said she had spoken to Milly after the teenager found her husband's bondage material. Mrs Dowler said: \"I was shocked to find them there as well. She was upset. \"I shouted at him and we had an argument and he said he would remove them.\" She told the court there had been no change in Milly's behaviour following the discovery, but was reminded that she had told officers of \"a slight change for a while\". Mrs Dowler replied: \"It was 10 years ago. It was really hard to recall it. \"Over the space of 10 years, I had a nervous breakdown and it is very difficult for me to recall it. \"If she had any problems, she would have come and talked to me about them. I think we had a good relationship.\" Mrs Dowler told the jury she did not recognise the picture the poems and letter painted of Milly. \"I would not describe her as a dark and depressing person. There had been issues at school and there had been some issues of bullying. \"She found that upsetting,\" Mrs Dowler added. She also told the court she drove herself crazy trying to remember everything that had happened on the day Milly disappeared. Mrs Dowler said she thought she might have driven past her daughter standing with a group of boys but was not sure if she had got the dates right. She said she had begged police to let her be hypnotised to try to recall what had happened. \"I was thinking over and over again, trying to remember the minutest detail,\" she said. \"I was driving myself mad. I can remember saying I need to be hypnotised in order to recall something. \"I didn't know if it was that afternoon. I had got so confused.

So far 281 patients have been reassessed but the department said it is too early to say if there have been any cases of misdiagnosis. They say other cases will be reviewed, involving former patients, and they are examining a redress scheme. The number of recalled patients may increase further. An independent inquiry into the patient recall, which involves both health service and private patients, has already been announced. It will be chaired by barrister Brett Lockhart QC. At a briefing led by Permanent Secretary Richard Pengelly and Chief Medical Officer Dr Michael McBride on Friday, MLAs were told that Dr Hugo Mascie-Taylor, an internationally recognised expert, has been appointed as a panel member for the inquiry. 'Concerted action' \"It is always a very difficult time when the service falls short of the high standards rightly expected by the public,\" said Dr McBride. \"It is essential that concerted action is taken and that lessons are learned for the benefit of patients.\" Departmental officials also gave a commitment to maintain detailed communication with elected representatives and stakeholders as the recall processes continue. On Thursday neurology patients affected by Northern Ireland's biggest health recall received an apology from the Department of Health's top civil servant, Richard Pengelly. The permanent secretary said the health and social care services \"apologised unreservedly\". Neurology is the treatment of brain conditions including MS, Parkinson's Disease and Motor Neurone Disease- all of which can be life-changing. The recall has left many patients very concerned about the potential for misdiagnosis, however, many of Dr Watt's former patients have expressed support and gratitude for the care he provided. Some patients praised his bedside manner but admitted to being concerned about his workload. Dr Watt is a consultant neurologist at the Royal Victoria and City hospitals in Belfast and also treated patients at private clinics.

Ms Thomas spends most of her money on the models, which range from architecture to Atlantis, Minecraft to monster fighters, and it is easy to guess what she gets for Christmas and birthdays. \"I only ever get Lego or money to buy Lego,\" she said. \"A box of Lego, I'm happy.\" Ms Thomas, originally from Worksop, Nottinghamshire, shared her collection with BBC Wales as Lego celebrates its 60th anniversary on Sunday.

Ms Thomas also has a workshop of about 200 drawer sections of spare Lego parts organised like a garage workshop - divided into colour, collection and body parts.

One worried boss said his fleet could be repossessed in the coming weeks. The Department for Transport (DfT) said it would \"continue to work closely with the sector\". Coach firms have warned for months they have not received the same financial support as bus companies to cover the loss of earnings caused by the cancellation of day trips and reduced capacities to allow for social distancing. 'I'll lose my home' Rikki Wilson, from Newcastle-based Group 10 Executive Coaches, said: \"I've got personal guarantees on all of my coaches, so even if just one becomes a default process that'll collapse the company and then I'll be looking at the guarantees being activated. \"That means I'll lose my home, I'll lose my business and ultimately I'll end up in bankruptcy. All we've had is the furlough scheme, which is support for employees rather than the business, and a £5,000 grant from Newcastle City Council. \"My coaches cost £200,000 to £250,000 per asset and the repayments on something like that vary between £4,000 and £5,000 per month.\" Jenna Rush, managing director of North East Coach Travel in Newcastle, called on ministers to encourage lenders to give longer, and backdated, payment holidays. \"If we don't get moving or get government support we are not going to be here,\" she said. \"We have been one of the lucky ones and managed to have accessed a CBILS loan but we have roughly £20,000 a month outgoings on finance and at the moment we have around £2,000 a month coming in, so with an £18,000 shortfall every month we are living off a loan and that loan is going to run out very shortly.\" Henry Cooper Coaches in Annitsford, a family run business founded in 1926, was one of the few coach companies that managed to get help during the pandemic. Partner Jade Cooper-Greaves said: \"The government excluded coach companies from the rates relief grants. \"They said that we're not classified as tourism, leisure, hospitality or essential travel. I have never written a job down in my diary that wouldn't be classed as tourism, leisure, hospitality or essential travel. \"We were lucky, we were in the 15% that got a grant, we had to fight tooth and nail to get it, but there's the other 85% that didn't get anything.\" 'Upcoming challenges' Matt Rodda MP, Labour's shadow minister for buses and local transport, called for industry-specific support and \"clearer guidance\" to operators around social distancing. \"Even though the furlough scheme has helped a bit in the short term, they are now facing an even harder position over the winter,\" he told BBC Radio Newcastle. A DfT spokesperson said: \"We know how badly the industry has been hit by Covid-19 and we continue to work closely with the sector to provide it with support as well as anticipating upcoming challenges. \"This includes the support the Chancellor has set out for UK businesses as part of the Winter Economy Plan.\" Follow BBC North East & Cumbria on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.

It breached privacy laws by calling people without their consent. The company has since gone into liquidation but the ICO said it was committed to recovering the fine. It said it had received more than 1,000 complaints about automated calls from the Bedfordshire-registered company. Hidden identity The ICO said Keurboom Communications called some people repeatedly and during unsocial hours. It also hid its identity so that people would find it harder to complain. \"The unprecedented scale of its campaign and Keurboom's failure to co-operate with our investigation has resulted in the largest fine issued by the Information Commissioner for nuisance calls,\" said Steve Eckersley, head of enforcement at the ICO. Keurboom director Greg Rudd told the Mirror newspaper that he found cold-calling \"annoying\" but said it was \"part of life\". \"I don't enjoy receiving them but that doesn't make them illegal,\" he said. However the ICO said making automatic marketing calls without people's consent was illegal. \"Keurboom showed scant regard for the rules,\" said Mr Eckersley. In October, the government announced plans to let the ICO fine company directors as well as their businesses. \"Making directors responsible will stop them avoiding fines by putting their company into liquidation,\" the ICO said. The watchdog said 2016-17 had been its busiest year for nuisance call investigations, with 23 companies fined a total of £1.9m. Four ways to block nuisance calls: Register with the Telephone Preference Service (TPS) - it's for people who do not want to receive sales calls and it's free. It is illegal for a company to call you once your name is on this. Of course, companies operating outside the law are not likely to take much notice - but it will cut down the number of calls. Complain to the Information Commissioner's Office. The number is 0303 123 1113. Block calls. Some phones offer this feature or you could use a call blocking device that you plug into your phone. These can not only block certain numbers, but also any that are call \"withheld\" or \"international\" - untraceable numbers often used by cold callers. The problem with this is that calls from people you know who are abroad or those who have blocked their own number may also be stopped. And a number of calls from large organisations that go through switchboards, which could include important calls, will also be blocked. Keep an eye out when ordering goods to make sure you tick the box that says you do not wish to receive information about products from organisations.

Vue pulled the British film, saying it had sparked 25 incidents nationwide. But Rapman said there \"was no link to Blue Story\" and asked whether there were \"hidden reasons\" behind the ban. Five teenagers were arrested after the fight in Birmingham's Star City complex on Saturday. The writer and director told BBC arts editor Will Gompertz: \"They were just in a cinema apparently for Frozen [2], but then they pinned it on Blue Story.\" Vue said there had been a total of 25 \"significant incidents\" at its sites around the country, all involving people either watching, buying tickets for, going in to watch or leaving screenings of Blue Story. Rapman, real name Andrew Onwubolu, said there was \"no connection\" between the Birmingham brawl and his movie. \"And then you start thinking, is there hidden reasons there? What's the owner like? Has he got an issue with young urban youth? Is he prejudiced? Does he believe that this film brings a certain type? Is there a colour thing? \"You start thinking of all these things, and it was an upsetting time.\" A spokesperson for Vue said the decision to pull Blue Story from its 91 cinemas nationwide was \"categorically not\" related to race. The rapper-turned-film-maker, who rose to prominence in 2017 with his hit YouTube series Shiro's Story, said taking a machete to a cinema was \"barbaric\", but asked Vue to give details of the other incidents. Speaking on BBC Breakfast, he said: \"They say that there's been a number of incidents, but where's the proof? Where's the evidence? Where? \"We live in a camera generation now. If anything happens, the youth are going to film that and you will see it. How come we haven't seen any footage of the rest of these incidents? \"I feel like that was just something to say to cover their decision, which already wasn't justified because the [original] incident had no connection to Blue Story.\" What have Vue said? Vue founder and chief executive Tim Richards said incidents involving groups took place at 16 cinemas in total, starting on Friday morning - the day of Blue Story's release - until Saturday evening, when it was pulled. \"In over 30 years of working in cinema exhibition in the UK, I have never seen a nationwide issue like this affecting so many cinemas in such a short space of time,\" Mr Richards said. The chain classes \"significant incidents\" as those involving illegal activity, harassment, intimidation, violence, public disorder, or anything requiring security, medical, fire or police intervention. But Vue has not given specific details of the incidents or where they took place. \"We have reviewed and assessed each and every incident in detail as part of our ongoing process of making decisions as to how we could possibly keep Blue Story on our screens,\" Mr Richards said. Additional security was put in place, but \"we were still not satisfied the risk had been reduced to an acceptable level\", he added. Mr Richards also said Blue Story, which has a 15 certificate, attracted a \"very young audience\". Reports suggesting those involved in the incidents were there to watch other films - such as Frozen 2 - were \"simply not true\", he added. \"A younger audience were attempting to purchase tickets for other movies to access the Blue Story screenings and were also resisting requests for ID. This also played a key role in incidents and our decision.\" 'Lucky there were no serious injuries' West Midlands Police and Crime Commissioner David Jamieson told BBC Radio 4's Today programme that \"officers were attacked by quite young children\" in Birmingham on Saturday, including \"12, 13-year-olds who were there in quite large numbers\". His force had not asked the chain to pull screenings of the film, he added. \"But we have to ask why and how did so many young children turn up in such quite large numbers, some of them armed to attack other people. It's fortunate there wasn't any serious injury on Saturday, but my goodness there could have been.\" Film company 'offered extra security' Rapman said he knew his film would appeal to young people, but he had no reason to suspect it might attract violence. \"The two gangs that the film's based on, which are real gangs, have been in a cinema screen watching it together, laughing together, joking together, and leaving a cinema connected, happy seeing the area they grew up in.\" Blue Story follows the life of Timmy who lives in Lewisham but goes to school in Peckham - two areas that have a notorious rivalry. It is released by the Paramount film studio, which offered to provide extra security at cinemas, Rapman said. The movie is also backed by BBC Films. \"Paramount have definitely offered every single site extra security if they need it. How hard would that be to just get more [security] people there?\" 'They bullied me' Showcase originally followed Vue's lead in pulling the film, but later reinstated it. Odeon and Cineworld have continued showing the movie. Vue's move has led to a vocal backlash, with some accusing the chain of being \"institutionally racist\". Vue has said its decision was made \"on grounds of safety alone\" and not because of \"biased assumptions or concern about the content of the film itself\". But Rapman said: \"They've alienated themselves from a big audience there. The explanation came with no evidence, no facts. \"I feel like they bullied me because I'm a small film. They wouldn't have pulled Frozen, they wouldn't have pulled Last Christmas. They pulled a little independent movie that needs it more than them other movies.\" He feels \"cheated\" as a result, he added. \"I feel it's always the upward hurdles coming from our background. I always knew it was never going to be smooth. But the last thing I thought was a cinema would ban us from every single site. I just don't think they respect me. They don't respect my movie.\" Film is 'about love, not violence' Rapman said Blue Story is \"about what people do for the people they love, and how love can make people make the wrong decisions - and the right decisions sometimes\". He told BBC News: \"If you watch the film, you will understand. The last line of the whole trailer is, 'I'm not trying to justify, but I'm going to show you what these young boys are fighting for'. \"I'm not justifying their actions, but go and see why they are fighting, see why they're stabbing and see what they're doing all these things, just so you can see their motivation and maybe we can help prevent that, so they don't have to pick up a weapon again.\" In his statement, Vue's Tim Richards added: \"We wholeheartedly agree that the issues that have arisen are not about the film, but neither are they about Vue. The chain screens more than 500 films a year \"in a range of diverse content\", he explained. \"We are in the business of showing movies, not withdrawing movies.\" Blue Story opened on Friday 22 November on 310 screens in the UK and Ireland and made £1.3 million over the weekend. That was enough to secure it third place on this week's UK and Ireland box office chart, behind Frozen 2 and Last Christmas. Follow us on Facebook, or on Twitter @BBCNewsEnts.

            "input": "It was the first time in 10 years that more has been borrowed in January than collected through tax and other income. January is usually a key revenue-raising month as it is when taxpayers submit their self-assessment returns. Tax income fell by less than £1bn, but the government spent £19.7bn more than last year on measures such as furlough. Government borrowing for this financial year has now reached £270.6bn, which is £222bn more than a year ago, said the Office for National Statistics (ONS), which published the data. The independent Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) has estimated that borrowing could reach £393.5bn by the end of the financial year in March. That would be the highest amount in any year since the Second World War. The borrowing figure was lower than expected but that \"should not be interpreted as a signal that the economy is withstanding the third lockdown relatively well\", said Samuel Tombs, chief UK economist at Pantheon Macroeconomics. \"A sharp £2.1bn year-over-year decline in interest payments, and the vanishing of contributions to the EU's budget, which totalled £2.2bn in January 2020, helped,\" he pointed out. The increase in borrowing has led to a steep increase in the national debt, which now stands at £2.11 trillion. The UK's overall debt has now reached 97.6% of gross domestic product (GDP) - a level not seen since the early 1960s. The ONS warned that although the impact of the pandemic on the public finances is becoming clearer, \"its effects are not fully captured\" in the current data, and that its estimates of tax receipts and borrowing are \"subject to greater than usual uncertainty\". It is an almost unbroken rule - January is a time when the Treasury coffers fill and more is paid in than is spent. But for the first time since the financial crisis, the Government had to borrow money in January to make up the gap between what it spent and what it raised in taxes. This near £9bn deficit though was actually better than expectations of £25bn of January borrowing. Receipts from taxes on workers and businesses held up on last year. The borrowing was mainly about £8bn extra spending on things like vaccines, protective equipment and testing, and support for jobs and wages up £5bn on last January. Over the course of this financial year the public finances are heading for borrowing of around £350bn - less bad than forecasts closer to £400bn, but still a peacetime record. This is the backdrop to the chancellor's budget in a fortnight, where he vows to be open and honest with the public about this challenge, suggesting tax rises at some point. The immediate focus though will have to remain on supporting the economy, as it is cautiously reopened. Hospitality companies have been excused from paying business rates and home buyers have had a break from paying stamp duty since July. Both these factors meant a drop in revenue for the government. But alcohol duty has risen by a quarter and self-assessed income tax receipts were £1.4bn higher. Overall, tax income fell about 1% to £80.3bn. Some of the self-assessed income tax gain probably came from the government's policy of allowing some later payments that were due from July, the ONS noted. In the 10 months to January, self-assessed income tax receipts were £26.3bn, £2bn less than in the same period a year earlier. More than has been £46bn spent covering salaries as part of the furlough scheme, and tens of billions of pounds on guaranteeing loans to businesses. In all, the Government has launched more than 40 schemes across the UK to help households and businesses through the coronavirus crisis. Chancellor Rishi Sunak said: \"Since the start of the pandemic we've invested over £280bn to protect jobs, businesses and livelihoods across the UK - this is the fiscally responsible thing to do and the best way to support sustainable public finances in the medium term.\" Tax rises, eventually? In his Budget on 3 March, \"the Chancellor likely won't shy away from setting out plans for borrowing to remain very high in 2021/22, probably close to 10% of GDP,\" said Mr Tombs. He predicted that the chancellor will also be able to avoid setting out future tax rises for 2022 and beyond, if the OBR maintains its upbeat view on the amount of long-term scarring caused by the recent downturn. But he warned that upward pressure on spending will increase over the coming years as the population ages and the Conservatives invest more to \"level up\" the country. \"As a result, big tax rises eventually will have to be announced, with 2022 likely to be the worst year,\" said Mr Tombs. The Budget will aim to secure the recovery, not to fix the public finances, the Institute for Fiscal Studies said earlier this week. That means substantial tax rises should not be part of the coming Budget, it said. \"Rishi Sunak needs to strike a balance between continuing support for jobs and businesses harmed by lockdowns, and weaning the economy off blanket support which will impede necessary economic adjustment,\" said Paul Johnson, IFS director. \"For now, Mr Sunak needs to focus on support and recovery. A reckoning in the form of big future tax rises is highly likely, but not as yet inevitable.\"",

            "input": "Dominic CascianiHome affairs correspondent@BBCDomCon Twitter The Metropolitan Police officer who gathered intelligence during the 1998 public inquiry into the murder used the name \"Dave Hagan\". Hagan was a member of the controversial Special Demonstration Squad and between 1996 and 2001 infiltrated four left-wing campaign groups. His information was passed to Scotland Yard bosses who were fighting damning accusations that the murder investigation had been marred by racism. Dave Hagan is the 30th \"cover name\" to be released by the inquiry out of approximately 200 officers who will be at the heart of the investigation. The officer, whose real identity is being protected by the inquiry, has fought against his false name being revealed, saying he was suffering from long-standing mental health problems. According to the inquiry, he was deployed by the Metropolitan Police to gather intelligence on the activities of the Socialist Workers Party, the anarchist group Class War, Movement Against the Monarchy, and Movement for Justice. It was during his deployment in the last of those organisations in 1998 that he became involved in the Lawrence family's campaign as the SDS unit investigated whether tension over botched investigations into black deaths could spill over into violence. But some of the information Hagan gathered had no bearing on public order. One intelligence report from the officer indicated that Doreen and Neville Lawrence, had probably separated but were appearing united for the sake of the campaign. In August 1998, as Scotland Yard prepared its final submissions for the inquiry into its handling of Stephen Lawrence's murder, Hagan and his SDS handler had a secret meeting with Richard Walton, a now-retired senior officer. Mr Walton was part of the then Commissioner's inquiry team. The Home Office's own review of the episode described this meeting as \"wrong-headed\" and that Hagan had been a \"spy in the Lawrence family camp\" at a crucial point in the family's fight for justice. Hagan, previously only known as \"N81,\" told the Home Office team he had been following orders. Part of Hagan's mission is believed to have also included targeting Duwayne Brooks, Stephen's friend who was with him the night he was murdered. Today, Mr Brooks welcomed the release of the name - and demanded that Scotland Yard release all secret files on him that were written by Hagan. \"At last the speculation is over and I can try and piece together what parts of my life 'Dave Hagan' intruded on,\" he said. \"Which bits of my private life did he snoop on? How much of my confidential legal advice did he leach out of me? \"Which campaigns for justice did he infiltrate and perhaps subvert? Trying to remember after 20 years of unnecessary delay is hard, and makes holding the police accountable that much harder.\" Neither Doreen nor Neville Lawrence have commented today on the release of the name - but another family has called for his full identity to be revealed. Sukhdev Reel's son Ricky died in unexplained circumstances in 1997, shortly after being racially abused by two white men in Kingston, south west London. Mrs Reel told the BBC the undercover inquiry had informed her that Hagan was also involved in her campaign. \"People would come to my home and offer their support, shake our hands, shake my children's' hands,\" she said. \"We would offer them cups of tea, our door was always open. Did Hagan shake my children's hands? Who was he? I need a photograph, a real name. And I want to ask him why he did it.\"",

One of the authors, Claire Crawford, said: \"Our research shows that maths skills developed during primary school continue to matter for earnings 20-30 years down the line. \"Moreover, they seem to matter more than reading skills, and over and above the qualifications that young people go on to obtain. This highlights the importance of investing in skills, particularly maths skills, early.\" The researchers looked at data on children featured in the British Cohort Study - a large group of people born in April 1970 - to look at the link between reading and maths scores at age 10, and earnings at ages 30, 34 and 38. The children had all taken particular tests at 10. Maths lessons overhauled The researchers say that once they had taken in to account other factors which can affect educational achievement and earnings and the individuals' highest qualifications, there was a link between maths and pay. They confirmed reading skills at 10 were also important, but said this was less so than maths. Children who had the highest scores in reading at 10 went on to earn about 2% more per year than a similar child who had a middle-ranking score. The study's authors said they did not know why this was the case, but suggested employers seemed to value maths skills and were willing to reward them with higher wages. The government in England is overhauling the maths curriculum for primary schools. And it has said from September, teenagers will keep studying maths until they are 18 if they have not passed a GCSE in the subject at grade C or above. At primary school, it says there should be more emphasis on arithmetic and that some topics, such as the calculation of fractions, volume and area should be covered earlier. It is also banning calculators from national maths tests (known as Sats) taken by 11-year-olds. Schools Minister Elizabeth Truss said: \"This research clearly shows why mastering the basics in maths at primary school is so important. \"That's why our draft maths primary school curriculum focuses on raising standards in arithmetic, including efficient calculation methods such as long and short multiplication and division, and fractions.\"",

Two of the attacks took place on Porthminster beach, including one on a teenager who was celebrating exam results. Sentencing him at Truro Crown Court, Judge Simon Carr said the attacks had been \"sustained and brutal\". Ferreira, of Tregenna Place, St Ives, denied the charges but was found guilty by a jury of false imprisonment, rape, assault by penetration, attempted rape, two counts of attempting to choke, suffocate or strangle with intent to rape, taking indecent images of a child and assault causing actual bodily harm. The court heard evidence found on Ferreira' computer included more than 200 hours of violent pornography, recordings of him with other women, films of him talking about what he wanted to do and covert filming of women. Judge Carr said this painted \"a very disturbing picture\" and that Ferreira posed a \"very significant danger to women and probably will for the rest of your life\". The first attack was on a teenager who had been celebrating her exam results when she was grabbed from behind and choked so she could not scream. In a statement, she told the court she believed she was going to be raped and murdered and described the huge impact the attack had on her life. 'Afraid and ashamed' She said she now realised that Ferreira was \"nothing but a pathetic coward\". In September 2019, he attacked a woman in her 30s while she slept in a tent on the same beach. In October, he raped a woman after taking her back to his flat. Ramsay Quaife, defending, said his client now accepted he had carried out the attacks but had been \"afraid and ashamed to admit\" them. Judge Carr imposed an extended sentence meaning Ferreira will serve a minimum of two thirds of the 20 years in prison before being released on licence, which was extended for five years.",

The force said in addition to the fines, a 23-year-old man was arrested after an officer was pushed and is due to appear at Preston Magistrates' Court in April. Supt Karen Edwards said the party was \"a blatant breach of the current restrictions, which are in place to prevent the virus from spreading and to keep everybody safe\".

Four West Kent parish councils have called for more time to put together a \"correct and democratic answer\". Next month, commission chairman Sir Howard Davies is expected to recommend a new runway for Gatwick or Heathrow. Richard Streatfield, chairman of the High Weald Parish Councils Aviation Action Group, which covers Chiddingstone, Hever, Leigh and Penshurst authorities, said they would be asking Sir Howard to extend the consultation by nine weeks.

Alastair McDermid, Gatwick's airports commission director, said although it was \"very late in the process\" they were pleased the commission had launched the consultation. \"This was a topic that we'd already done some work on so we may have been slightly ahead of the field by choosing to do that work at an earlier stage,\" he said.

The fate of nations sometimes hang in the balance. But the lessons are still there to be learned. The first lesson is, um, er... Rick Perry the Texas governor was a much-fancied contender in the 2011 race for the Republican nomination. Then, in a TV debate, he decided to list the three government departments he would axe if he made it to the White House. Routine stuff. The trouble is, he could only remember two of them. And that was that for Perry's Presidential bid. He withdrew from the race shortly afterwards. So apart from being properly briefed on your own policies what else can we learn from the US, birthplace of the TV debate? Don't sweat too much and try not to look shifty John F Kennedy's 1960 televised debate with Richard Nixon is the most celebrated example of the genre. Vice-president Nixon started favourite - but he had been ill, and looked pale, withdrawn and unshaven alongside the telegenic Kennedy. Then he kept glancing, shiftily, up at the clock. Most of those following the debate on radio thought Nixon had come out ahead. Those watching on TV said the winner was Kennedy. The next lesson is even more obvious. Don't patronise your opponent George Bush Sr kept glancing at his watch during his 1992 debate against Bill Clinton and Ross Perot - giving the impression that he couldn't wait for it to be over. Al Gore's sighs while George W Bush gave his answers in 2000 were similarly damaging. The next lesson is a more positive one. Have a few pre-scripted \"zingers\"up your sleeve, \"I will not make age an issue of this campaign,\" said Ronald Reagan in 1984 when asked if, at the age of 73, he was up to four more years in the White House. \"I am not going to exploit, for political purposes, my opponent's youth and inexperience.\" Even rival Walter Mondale had to laugh at that one. A good joke tends to go down well, so... Don't lose your temper This is another obvious lesson. Although it can sometimes work if your opponent loses theirs too, as in the 2007 clash between French President Nicolas Sarkozy and challenger Segolene Royal (pictured above), which culminated in the pair yelling \"Calmez-vous!\" at each other. French viewers had never seen anything like it. Beware gimmicks In Australia, debate coverage is dominated by \"The Worm,\" an electronic line that runs along the bottom of the screen controlled by a panel of floating voters. Politicians speak of the The Worm in awed tones. It can make or break them. In a 2007 debate between Kevin Rudd and John Howard there were even accusations of political skulduggery, with the \"Worm Moderator\" accusing Howard's ruling Liberal Party of sabotage. If there was foul play, it didn't work - Rudd went on to win. Watch out for the underdog They have the least to lose. This was a lesson learned by Jimmy Carter in 1980, who refused to take part in a debate with John Anderson, a liberal Republican who was mounting an independent bid to eject him from the White House. Carter's Republican rival Ronald Reagan rose to the challenge, handing the little-known Anderson a TV audience of 55 million Americans. He got 7% of the vote on polling day though. The same lesson could apply to our own leader debates at the 2010 general election although Cleggmania had pretty much evaporated by the time polling day came around.",

It had the choice to continue with the lease, retake control of the building, give the lease to music school backers or put the lease on the market. The A-listed landmark was built in 1829 by Thomas Hamilton but the school relocated in 1968. It later became home to the City Art Centre before being proposed as a home for the Scottish Parliament and a new national photography centre. City of Edinburgh Council launched a competition seeking proposals for a hotel redevelopment in 2009. The winner of the competition, Duddingston House Properties, was then granted a 125-year lease of the building, with Edinburgh City Council retaining ownership. The developer has been trying to gain approval for various hotel schemes ever since. Now the council has decided to strip Duddingston House Properties of its contract, and put the lease back on the market. The severing of the contract with the developers will provide hope for the Royal High School Preservation Trust, which is hoping to relocate St Mary's Music School to the site. However, that project is not guaranteed as the backers will have to compete on the open market for the lease. In 2015, plans for a £75m luxury hotel, in partnership with London property developers Urbanist Hotels, were narrowly rejected during a meeting of the council's planning committee, following outcry from conservationists and heritage groups. The plans would have seen two six-storey wings built on either side of the former Royal High School building, and attracted objections from groups including Historic Scotland and more than 1,700 members of the public. After their planning application was rejected, the decision was appealed to the Scottish government. However, this appeal was delayed as the developers unveiled new, scaled-back proposals for the site, which were submitted to the council for consideration. The new proposals suggested the wings would be smaller and set further back from the road, opening up views blocked off under the old scheme. This time, more than 3,000 members of the public objected to the plans, which were rejected by the council in August 2017. The rejection of the revised plans restarted the appeal to the Scottish government, and in October last year the plans were rejected by the government's planning and environmental appeals division.

Ishiguro is one of a select band of authors who enjoys widespread critical acclaim as well as huge commercial success. His eighth book, The Buried Giant is set in Britain during the Dark Ages. In a year that is relatively light on big star names in fiction, I am looking forward to new novels from Jonathan Franzen in September and from the Nobel prize-winning writer Mario Vargas Llosa. Franzen's Purity is the story of a young woman working to uncover her father's identity, with a \"mythical undertone\". Vargos Llosa's novel, The Discreet Hero, has taken two years to translate into English. A best-seller in his home country of Peru, it follows two businessmen - one the victim of extortion, and one whose children want to kill him. The Pulitzer Prize-winner Anne Tyler marks a remarkable 50-year writing career with the publication of her 20th novel, A Spool of Blue Thread. Like many of her previous books, it is a family saga set in Baltimore. Speaking to the BBC mid-way through writing the novel in 2013, she announced it would be her last long-form work. Other familiar names returning in 2015 include Kate Atkinson and the best-selling author of Captain Corelli's Mandolin, Louis de Bernieres. There are also new novels from the former Man Booker shortlisted authors Andrew O'Hagan, Sarah Hall, Tom McCarthy, Amitav Ghosh and Patrick deWitt. There are some noteworthy second novels to look out for too, from authors whose debuts made a splash, including Belinda McKeon and Polly Samson. AD Miller follows his best-selling Man Booker shortlisted debut, Snowdrops, with The Faithful Couple, a story of male friendship. The coming year sees the launch of a major international project in which Shakespeare's plays will be retold by acclaimed novelists. Jeanette Winterson's re-imagining of The Winter's Tale launches the series in October. There are plenty of new books from big brand authors including Jeffrey Archer, James Patterson and Danielle Steel. Blood on Snow is a new thriller from the Norwegian crime writer Jo Nesbo. And there is a new detective novel from Malcolm Pryce, of the cult Aberystwyth series On the non-fiction front, there are anniversaries aplenty, with several titles commemorating two battles, Waterloo and Gallipoli. Magna Carta, signed 800 years ago, is the subject of a new book from the historian David Starkey. And the centenary of the Women's Institute is marked in The WI Cookbook. There are biographies of Lewis Caroll, marking the 150th anniversary of Alice in Wonderland, and TS Eliot, 50 years after his death. The writers John le Carre and Charlotte Bronte are the subject of new books, as is The Kinks frontman Ray Davies. Eric Clapton is also the subject of a biography, released to coincide with his 70th birthday. There is a memoir by Elvis Costello, in which he tells the story of his 40-year career. And the playwright Sir David Hare David Hare is reflecting on his life in The Blue Touch Paper. Steve Jobs will also be the subject of a new biography which has been endorsed by the family of the co-founder of Apple. From the best-selling author of The Hare with Amber Eyes, Edmund de Waal charts the history of porcelain in The White Road. On the poetry shelf will be new collections from Vikram Seth and Christopher Reid, who won the 2009 Costa Book of the Year. And Poems will contain almost 50 previously unpublished poems by the late novelist It is also worth mentioning that Nigella Lawson will be back in the spotlight in the Autumn with a new cookbook.

            "input": "By Jenny HillBBC Berlin correspondent More than three million people of Turkish origin live in Germany. It is estimated that 1.4 million of them are eligible to vote in Turkish elections. In effect, the diaspora is Turkey's fourth largest electoral district. A month before a referendum on Turkey's constitution, there's a louder Turkish voice resonating in the heart of Germany. President Recep Tayip Erdogan wants to change the way Turkey is governed, abolish the post of prime minister and significantly extend his own powers. Polls suggest the referendum result will be tight. He needs the support of Germany's Turks. Though, as the singers pause and the players lay their fat-bellied Turkish guitars on the floor, few here tell us they'll dance to his tune. \"Actually there is huge opposition to the Erdogan regime in the Turkish community here,\" says Filliz, \"but there's nearly no coverage in the media about it. So Germans think that every Turkish person is an Erdogan supporter - which is simply not the case.\" But there is also significant support for him among the diaspora. Between 50% and 60% of German Turks who voted in elections over the last four years supported Mr Erdogan and his party. And there were cheers for his foreign minister on the campaign trail in Hamburg on Tuesday. Nazi row Mr Erdogan has dispatched several of his cabinet to Germany, and a furious diplomatic row ignited after German authorities cancelled a number of planned rallies citing security or technical reasons. Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu, for example, spoke from the Turkish consulate in Hamburg after the city authorities closed his original venue after saying that the fire alarm system wasn't working. A furious Mr Erdogan likened Germany's actions to those of the Nazis, provoking outrage at the highest level in Berlin. On Thursday morning, Angela Merkel's indignation was still palpable as she addressed the German parliament. \"Comparisons with Nazi Germany,\" she said \"always lead to misery, to the trivialisation of crimes against humanity committed by National Socialism. We will not tolerate this under any circumstances.\" The comparisons, she said, must stop. But the diplomatic row shows little sign of abating. A sleek convoy of black cars drove through a grey Berlin morning on Wednesday: crisis talks between foreign ministers that yielded little result. Despite pressure from Berlin, a journalist from the German newspaper Die Welt is still in a Turkish jail - the German government has failed as yet to secure consular access to Deniz Yucel - and Ankara insists it will continue to campaign on German soil. Germany should allow that to happen, says Bekir Yilmaz, the president of the Turkish community in Berlin. Mr Erdogan was wrong, he says, to invoke the Nazi past. However, he insists: \"People should have the right to campaign freely here. Then voters can decide what's right or wrong. Germans have to accept that.\" Commentators point out that, for President Erdogan, provoking a row with Germany is simply a calculated election technique - positioning himself against the West and thereby securing votes from right-wingers at home. \"Of course he benefits from the controversy,\" says Ralph Ghadbhan, who has studied the Turkish diaspora for decades. \"It's his intention. He sees Germany as a colony and he proved that when he said recently if the German government stops him from campaigning here then they will be confronted with an uprising.\" New divisions The relationship between Ankara and Berlin is often stormy. There were furious exchanges last year after German comic Jans Bohmermann insulted Mr Erdogan with a satirical poem. And there were protests after the German parliament officially declared the massacre of Armenians by Ottoman Turks during World War One a genocide. But this has strained diplomatic relations to the limit, and there is much at stake. It is perhaps telling that this time neither Mr Erdogan or Mrs Merkel has raised the subject of the migrant deal between the EU and Turkey, which the German chancellor largely orchestrated. Under the deal, Turkey holds back migrants in return for billions of euros. The deal was controversial, some say not that effective. But arguably it is one of the ties that continue to bind the two sides together - just. The singers in the Turkish choir worry about the impact of the row on their own community here, and on how Germany perceives them. Old music, new divisions. And still that bitter tone persists. Germany, Ankara warned last night, must decide whether it is a friend or a foe. A note on terminology: The BBC uses the term migrant to refer to all people on the move who have yet to complete the legal process of claiming asylum. This group includes people fleeing war-torn countries such as Syria, who are likely to be granted refugee status, as well as people who are seeking jobs and better lives, who governments are likely to rule are economic migrants.",

            "input": "Soutik BiswasIndia correspondent Ever since its first case was confirmed on 30 January, India has taken a number of measures to try and combat the coronavirus. It has eased testing eligibility and invoked a draconian 122-year-old colonial-era epidemic diseases law to restrict public gatherings, among other things. Now it is set to extend a strict three-week lockdown - scheduled to end on 15 April - until the end of the month. More than a billion people continue to stay at home and land, rail and air transport remain suspended. There have been some 180,000 tests for the infection so far. Some 4.3% of the samples have tested positive. The contagion has killed 273 people. It has reportedly spread to nearly half of the country's 700-odd districts. Several hotspots have been identified. Global health experts are keenly looking at how India battles the virus. Its dense population, vast geography and weak public health system can easily overwhelm the best efforts to contain the spread of infection. \"It is something which is worrying a lot of people, \" a leading virologist told me, insisting on anonymity. \"It is early days yet in the trajectory of the virus here. In three to four weeks, the picture will be clearer.\" Economist Shamika Ravi, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution who is closely tracking the infection, believes India is not doing badly. She says the number of active cases is doubling every seven days, a slower rate than before. The death rate is still low but rising. \"Our [infection] growth rate is highly contained despite the fact that we are actively chasing the fire,\" she told me. \"Almost all of our testing has been driven by protocol, starting with people with travel history, contact tracing of people in touch with them and so on. The probability of getting more positive cases [from this cohort] would have been much higher.\" Many are also pointing to the lack of reports about any surge in hospital admissions with influenza like illness and Covid-19 patients, which would hint at a rapid community transmission. But this may well be because of lack of information or weak reporting. A private hospital in the central city of Indore, as I reported, is already seeing a surge of cases and treating more than 140 Covid-19 patients, with nearly a third in critical care. At the weekend the hospital was reporting around 40 fresh cases a day. \"We thought the transmission was going down, but our case load went up suddenly over two days,\" Dr Ravi Dosi, a chest specialist, at the hospital, told me. Others like T Jacob John, a retired professor of virology at Christian Medical College, Vellore, believe India must prepare for the worst. \"I don't think we have yet understood the enormity of the problem that is likely to befall us in the next two months,\" he told me. \"For much too long the virus dictated our responses rather than the other way round\". Dr John says India's response has been largely \"evidence-based and reactive when it should have been projection-based and pro-active\". India's health ministry has strenuously denied there has been community transmission even as doctors from all over the country say they have been seeing patients with Covid-19 like symptoms from early March. \"The entire focus seems to on finding evidence of community transmission, It's a tactical error,\" says Dr John. \"We all know community transmission is there.\" Dr Ravi believes that going forward, \"every week is critical now\". Easing the lockdown to prevent an economic meltdown and flattening the curve of the virus will now require more surveillance testing to find out who's infected and who's not. India would then need millions of testing kits and trained manpower to handle the process. Testing is also a highly involved process, which includes ensuring a cold chain for and smooth transport of tens of thousands of samples to the labs. India's resources are finite and capacity is limited. One way to get around this, says Dr Ravi, is \"pool testing\". This involves collecting a number of samples in a tube and testing them with a single real time coronavirus test based on swabbing of the nose and throat, as recommended by the WHO. If the test is negative, all the people tested are negative. If it's positive, every person has to be tested individually for the virus. \"Pool testing\" reduces the time needed to test large swathes of the population. \"If there's no trace of the infection in some districts, then we can open them up for economic activity,\" says Dr Ravi. Virologists believe that India should also do mass anti-body testing - a finger prick blood test to look for the presence of protective antibodies. The blood test is easier and quicker to scale up than, say administering polio drops for immunisation, which India has successfully done. \"We need antibody testing as a public health tool rather than a diagnostic tool,\" says one virologist. \"We need to identify people who have recovered from the infection and send them back to work because they are no longer at risk.\" Along with this, India needs to look at plasma therapy, virologists I spoke to said. This involves using blood with consent from patients who have successfully fought the infection. This antibody-rich blood plasma can be infused into sick patients. Many doctors say it is a \"hopeful milestone' in treating the disease. Most virologists I spoke to are unanimous that India should be testing \"much, much more\". Ideally, one of them told me, any person with \"any upper respiratory tract infection\" should be eligible for a test. India doesn't have a culture of testing for infectious diseases because most citizens cannot afford them. Risk mitigation is not ingrained in the culture. \"We tend to treat instead of testing. We rely on medical signs and symptoms [of a disease] rather than the cause or set of causes of a disease or condition,\" a virologist observed. \"We do tests only when we are very sick.\" It is all right, says Dr John, that the government is \"fighting the war on the virus with the might of its administrative muscle\". But that might be not enough. Many complain that beyond motivational appeals by the prime minister and routine briefings by bureaucrats, information around the transmission of the virus and scale of testing has been often opaque and evasive. Wearing masks was made mandatory only last week. With its excellent public health system and response, only the southern state of Kerala appears to have flattened the curve so far. \"This is going to be a long haul. We can't be treating India as one episode of flattening the curve and be done with it. The virus doesn't lose virulence,\" says a virologist. \"And all the states are not going to see a rise and fall in the curve at the same time.\" The weeks ahead will possibly tell us whether India will face an exponential rise in infections or begin to flatten the curve. \"This is a thousand-piece jigsaw puzzle. There are not going to be any easy answers,\" says Dr John.",

            "input": "By Daniel De SimoneBBC News The two complainants - referred to as \"A\" and \"B\" - had \"both deliberately lied\", according to retired High Court judge Sir Richard Henriques in his report into the much-derided Scotland Yard investigation. The Henriques report recommended that \"offences of attempting to pervert the course of justice be considered in the cases of A and B\" and it would be appropriate for another police force to carry out such investigations. The main accuser in Operation Midland, Carl Beech, was referred to Northumbria Police. He is now serving 18 years in prison for perverting the course of justice. Beech - who was known as \"Nick\" during the police investigation - made false allegations of sexual abuse and murder about a group of MPs, generals and senior figures in the intelligence services in the 1970s and 1980s. The investigation prompted searches of the homes of former Conservative MP Harvey Proctor, D-Day veteran and former chief of the defence staff Lord Bramall and former home secretary Leon Brittan's widow, Lady Diana Brittan. 'Prolific liar' The two men were first interviewed in September 2015, with the high profile inquiry not closing until the following March. Scotland Yard made an internal decision against investigating the pair despite a senior officer privately saying they were liars. One of them - who previously made other false claims to police - admitted researching the falsely accused, and also has convictions for fraud, theft and sexual offences against children. The other man, whose brother described him as a \"prolific liar\", has convictions for theft, fraud and violence. The Henriques report also said a senior Met officer - then Deputy Assistant Commissioner Steve Rodhouse - considered the men to be liars. It quotes from a private presentation given to Sir Richard in August 2016 by Mr Rodhouse, who oversaw Operation Midland, in which he said: \"I am satisfied that both A and B have told deliberate lies\". However, when Operation Midland closed on 21 March 2016, Scotland Yard issued a statement which said detectives \"have not found evidence to prove that they were knowingly misled by a complainant\". Mr Rodhouse told the media that day there were three complainants and, in June that year, the force answered a Freedom of Information request about the number of accusers interviewed by stating: \"Three relate directly to Operation Midland.\" Following questions from the BBC about whether it had referred the other accusers for investigation, Scotland Yard said: \"Sir Richard recommended the MPS [Metropolitan Police Service] consider whether A and B committed criminal offences. \"Neither undertook a sustained campaign of damaging lies like Carl Beech did and, on the basis of their individual cases, no investigation was initiated.\" The force also said it concluded that \"investigating them was not appropriate or proportionate due to a number of issues including their mental health - consequently the matters were not referred to an external force\". The Henriques report recorded the men's \"detailed and lengthy\" allegations \"occupied considerable amounts of police time\" and that \"if their accounts had withstood scrutiny, it is highly likely that charges would have been brought against the suspects\". Sir Richard's review of Operation Midland was published in largely unredacted form last week, three years after a heavily redacted version - which did not disclose the recommendation about complainants A and B - was made available. Harvey Proctor, who lost his home and job after being falsely accused by Carl Beech, said the evidence suggested the effect of A and B on Operation Midland was to \"extend the investigation into me by five or six months\". He added: \"All the information suggests they should be referred to an outside force for seeking to pervert the course of justice. \"They should be regarded as innocent until a police inquiry and a jury shows otherwise, the reverse of how I was treated.\"",

It follows a rise in the number of Initial Coin Offerings, or ICOs, through which crypto-currency start-ups have sought quick financial backing. However, there are concerns that ICOs are creating an investment bubble. More than $1bn has been raised so far this year in such transactions but there are questions over how investors are to be protected should a venture backed with digital coins fail. Now the SEC has said that issuers of \"distributed ledger or blockchain technology-based securities\" must register offers and sales. \"The innovative technology behind these virtual transactions does not exempt securities offerings and trading platforms from the regulatory framework designed to protect investors and the integrity of the markets,\" said Stephanie Avakian, the SEC enforcement division's co-director. 'Large valuations' It was sometimes difficult to see how a firm had justified a large evaluation for its ICO, said Eitan Jankelewitz, a technology specialist and partner at law firm Sheridans. \"If you consider the size of the investment compared to the type of investment that a professional would make, they look disproportionally large,\" he told the BBC. He also pointed out that regulators don't need to rely on legislation specifically dealing with crypto-currencies to enforce rules on securities and investments. \"Those sorts of regulations tend to be more principles-based,\" he explained. \"If a new technology comes along that allows a new activity to be undertaken, then the law would still apply.\" The SEC made its comments on ICOs in a report on a crypto-currency investment fund known as the DAO. Digital coins worth $60m ($41m) at the time were stolen after the DAO was hacked last year. While the SEC has not decided to make civil charges as a result of its investigation into what happened, it is using the case to caution industry and the market.",

            "input": "By Denise WintermanBBC News Magazine Poo, it's getting everywhere. Faecal bacteria are present on 26% of hands in the UK, 14% of banknotes and 10% of credit cards, according to new research carried out by hygiene experts from Queen Mary, University of London (QMUL) and the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (LSHTM). It has been published to promote the UN's Global Handwashing Day. They say one of the biggest shocks is the level of germs. Findings suggest 11% of our hands are so \"grossly contaminated\" they are carrying as many germs as a dirty toilet bowl. It's the same for 8% of cards and 6% of notes. We already know faecal matter can be found on one in six mobile phones. \"People may claim they wash their hands regularly but the science shows otherwise,\" says QMUL's Dr Ron Cutler, who led the study. The British are particularly bad, other research suggests. Many of us also lie and claim we have washed our hands when we haven't, especially after going to the toilet. In a recent UK-wide study, 99% of people interviewed at motorway service stations toilets claimed they had washed their hands after going to the toilet. Electronic recording devices revealed only 32% of men and 64% of women actually did. Even when faced with a serious health threat, many still don't bother. More newly published findings, this time from an international study by Harvard University, suggest only 53% of people washed their hands more frequently during the 2009 swine flu pandemic. It looked into how people changed their behaviour to reduce the spread of the H1N1 virus, and the British were the worst of the five countries studied. The British approach to hand washing is often \"bizarre\" and \"peculiar\", say hygiene experts. So what is our problem? A lot comes down to perception and how we see ourselves, also to a lack of understanding about the simplest hygiene. \"It's peculiar but many people in the UK don't think they carry any diseases,\" says Dr Lisa Ackerley, a consultant in environmental hygiene and co-founder of Hygiene Audit Systems. \"They live in a country with modern facilities and think things are clean.\" Most people are taught to wash their hands from an early age. When there is a major health scare, the Department of Health runs education campaigns, such as swine flu's \"Catch it, bin it, kill it\" campaign. But still some people don't link it with stopping the spread of germs. \"People in the UK are worried about infections, we know that,\" says Dr Cutler. \"But often they don't associate dirty hands with infections until they actually get ill, it's rather bizarre. They think their hands are clean.\" They're wrong of course. The average person's hands probably carry at least 3,000 different bacteria belonging to more than 100 species, according to US researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder. We all have our own unique \"bacterial fingerprint\", says Prof Noah Fierer, who conducted the research. \"Bacteria on skin are like snowflakes, no two communities are alike,\" he says. That even goes for your left and right hand. The study found a person's hands share only 13% of the same bacteria. Also, while women wash their hands more than men, they have a more diverse selection of germs living on them. Scientists don't know why, but say differences in sweat, hormones and even the use of makeup might be involved. A lot of the different types of bacteria found on skin are not pathogens so do not cause disease, says Prof Fierer. Hand hygiene is more about not passing on the bad germs we pick up. \"The benefit of hand washing is that it removes those transient taxa [organisms] that a doctor, for example, may pick up from a diseased patient, or a cook may pick up from using the toilet and then potentially pass onto another individual,\" he says. Sometimes bad hygiene is not down to laziness or a lack of awareness. Automatic behaviour is often subconscious and we simply don't think about what we're doing, says Dr Val Curtis, director of the Hygiene Centre at LSHTM. \"People often genuinely think they've washed their hands after going to the toilet when they haven't. People think their behaviour is under conscious control, but often it's not. They are mindlessly doing things.\" Of those that who do wash their hands, often they're doing it wrong. A quick wipe with water is not enough. You should use soap wherever possible and follow certain steps, like rubbing around your thumbs. If you wash your hands correctly it should take you the same length of time as singing Happy Birthday twice, say experts. We should also do it more regularly, when we take out the bins or stroke a cat for example. The two most crucial times during the day are after toilet use and before eating. The study of bank notes and credit cards suggest only 39% of people wash their hands before tucking into some food. It might not seem that important but the consequences of not washing your hands can be serious. Faecal matter is one of the most dangerous around, says Dr Curtis. It can survive on hands and surfaces for hours, especially in warmer temperatures away from sunlight. \"There are about one billion germs per gram in faecal matter,\" she says. \"Even the smallest amount can leave millions of germs on your hands.\" The British Olympic Association warned Team GB athletes not to shake hands during the London games this summer in case they caught a bug that might ruin their chances of success. The UN says washing hands is the most cost-effective intervention for the worldwide control of disease. It estimates hand washing could save more than a million lives a year from diarrhoeal diseases and prevent respiratory infections, one of the biggest causes of child mortality in developing countries. So, how do you get more Brits washing their hands? Challenges facing public health organisations include the fact that our sensitivity to disgust varies. There are extremes at either end of the spectrum, but most people are somewhere in-between. What gets one person washing their hands may not change another's behaviour. Outbreaks of disease, like swine flu, can encourage better hygiene. During the swine flu scare there was an increase in clinical cases of obsessive-compulsive disorder, says Dr Cutler. But these are a few extreme cases and as Harvard's study shows, a pandemic still doesn't get all Brits washing their hands. But one tactic that has been shown to work in the UK is shaming people into doing it. The study conducted in service stations toilets found more people washed their hands when signs were put up asking: \"Is the person next to you washing their hands?\" \"It makes people conscious of what others are doing around them and someone might be looking at them, they get embarrassed,\" says Dr Ackerley. \"Social pressure is a powerful tool. \"There are more notices in US toilets. I remember one that said, 'no poo poo fingers'. That was probably very effective.\" Dr Cutler agrees. \"People obviously lie about washing their hands because they're embarrassed to admit the truth. Get them to feel embarrassed at the sink and they are more likely wash their hands,\" he says. So remember, no poo poo fingers from now on.",

He wants to make it a legal requirement to get the Stormont Assembly's approval for any plan to treat Northern Ireland differently from the rest of the UK. But the devolved government has not sat since power-sharing collapsed in 2017. The bill aims to give its civil servants greater flexibility in making decisions, in the absence of government. However, it has drawn the attention of those arguing over plans for the UK's future trading relationship with the EU. Both the EU and UK are signed up to the need for a \"backstop\" - effectively an insurance policy to avoid the introduction of checks on the border between Northern Ireland and the Irish Republic - which is an EU member - after Brexit. During the \"transition period\" after the UK leaves the EU in March 2019 until 31 December 2020, the UK's relationship with the EU will stay largely the same - something designed to smooth the path to a future permanent relationship between them. But if there is a gap between the transition period ending, and the \"future relationship\" coming into force, the backstop would ensure no hard border in the meantime. The EU and UK are agreed there can be no return to a hard border - but disagree over how the backstop should operate. The government has proposed a backstop which would effectively keep the whole of the UK in the EU customs union for a limited period, until a comprehensive agreement is reached. Under the EU's idea of a contingency plan, Northern Ireland would remain in the EU's customs union, large parts of the single market and the EU VAT system - something the UK says is unacceptable as it would create a new border down the Irish Sea, between Northern Ireland and the rest of the UK. Mr Baker, the Tory MP for Wycombe and deputy chairman of the Conservative pro-Brexit European Research Group of Tory MPs. said his amendments would ensure that \"emergency powers\" could not be used to implement measures in the absence of an assembly. \"Northern Ireland is an integral part of the UK.\" \"Creating barriers between Northern Ireland and Great Britain, creating a separate regulatory regime or imposing EU laws on Northern Ireland via emergency legislation does not respect Northern Ireland's status in the UK.\" BBC political correspondent Jessica Parker said it was unclear what level of support there was for the amendments. \"But negotiators may not welcome any attempt to impose legal limits on the talks which are already at an impasse,\" she added. A government statement said the Northern Ireland bill is intended to provide civil servants with the \"certainty and clarity\" they needed to deliver public services. \"It enables key appointments that cannot currently be made in the absence of Northern Ireland ministers to be made during the period before an executive is next formed,\" the statement added. \"The bill also creates the necessary time and space to restart political talks with the aim of restoring devolved government as soon as possible.\"",

            "input": "By Mark SavageMusic reporter Sir Elton John's work rate might have slowed since the 1970s, when he regularly released two albums a year, but the star shows no signs of stopping. Somehow, amid the charity tennis matches, phone calls to Vladimir Putin, Aids initiatives and 94 concerts he's undertaken this year, the star has found time to write and record his 33rd album, Wonderful Crazy Night. And he says he couldn't imagine abandoning his first love. \"Some people don't make records any more, like Billy Joel,\" he tells the BBC. \"They still have wonderful careers but I'm not like that. I want to be creative. It keeps you young. 'Prime of my life' \"I'm not retiring. I'm still enjoying myself so much. I'm 68 and I feel like I'm in the prime of my life.\" The star says the hit-strewn success of his 1970s purple patch means he has the \"freedom to do exactly what I want\". \"I don't have to worry about the record company saying, 'You need a hit single,' and that's a wonderful position to be in.\" But the musician admits he has come under pressure to copy his friend Rod Stewart by putting his spin on the great American songbook. \"I've been asked to do Motown covers, Christmas records. It's not going to happen,\" he says. \"I don't want to sing standards. They don't mean anything to me. They're music from an era gone by. If I want to hear them, I'll put on Sarah Vaughan and Ella Fitzgerald and Frank Sinatra and I'll enjoy them. \"But I couldn't sing them because that would just be a commercial exercise and I don't want to do that.\" Instead, the 68-year-old immerses himself in new music. His current playlist includes alt-rock singer St Vincent and Scottish electro wizard Hudson Mohawke, while his album of the year is Blur's The Magic Whip. \"Why wouldn't you want to listen to someone with a new idea?\" he asks, genuinely puzzled. Yet his latest album marks a return to his roots as a vaudevillian rock star. Packed with pop riffs and vamping piano chords, Wonderful Crazy Night is designed to be slotted into the set list of his Las Vegas residency. \"It needs to be played loud,\" the star laughs. \"It's not Enya.\" 'Joyous' The album was written and recorded in at Los Angeles' Village Studios in a 17-day flurry of activity. \"I don't like messing about,\" Sir Elton says. \"Studio time is valuable, it's expensive. I like to go in there and make the most of my time. \"I won't beat about the bush - it's a very odd way of doing things compared to everyone else. But the moment that music all comes together and the red light's on… It's just something very, very special. Instantaneous. Adrenalin-driven. That's why I love doing it.\" The star began the way he always begins, with 20 pages of lyrics from his writing partner Bernie Taupin. \"I don't see the lyrics before I go in the studio,\" he says. \"And it's wonderful because I don't know what I'm going to get. \"Then I sit down at the piano and look at them, and it just comes out. I don't know how it happens. I just look down and I come up with the riff. Something comes through my fingers.\" Sir Elton and Taupin have an almost telepathic relationship after 48 years of working together - and, this time around, both men found themselves taking stock of their good fortune. \"I wanted to do something joyous because I was so happy with my children and my husband. Happy with everything,\" the star says. Lyrically love-struck, he sings of happiness and devotion on tracks like Blue Wonderful, In The Name Of You and The Open Chord (\"you're the open chord I want to play all day\"). There is a lazy assumption, he says, that songs can only be autobiographical if they're downcast. \"It's easy to be miserable. And I love being miserable. As a keyboard player, it's much easier to write miserable songs. \"So the challenge on this one, as a piano player, was to say, 'right, I've got to write up-tempo songs and I've got to try and write them in guitar keys like A, B and E, and not write in flat keys,' which is what I normally do. \"It's great for my guitarist. It saved a lot of time for him.\" 'Ruthless editor' Indeed, the record sees John bringing his touring band into the studio for the first time in nearly a decade. The line-up includes drummer Nigel Olsson and guitarist Davey Johnstone, who have been playing with the musician for more than five decades, while T-Bone Burnett produces. Of the 14 tracks they recorded together, 10 made the final cut. \"I think 10 tracks is the only way to go,\" he says. \"Jill Scott had 17 on her new album, and I love Jill Scott, but I can't wade through that. \"I think 42 minutes is the perfect length because people don't have the attention span they used to. \"In the old days it was different - you could put out double albums and people would sit there and really listen. They don't do that any more. They download, they listen to two minutes of a single. Times have changed.\" He is ruthless about editing his music, insisting the four rejected songs simply \"weren't as good\" as the rest. \"There was a song about my children and Bernie's children, called Children's Song, which was really sweet. But it's very hard to write a song about children without feeling a little saccharine. It's too schmaltzy. You've got to be careful. The release of Wonderful Crazy Night next February will be accompanied by a world tour, which reaches the UK in June. But a long-proposed biopic of the musician, starring Tom Hardy, may not arrive as planned. \"It's in limbo at the moment,\" admits John. \"To give a really honest answer, it's going to take $60m to make this film the right way and, at the moment, the film industry has had a few flops musically - Jersey Boys, James Brown. \"They're like sheep and lemmings. They're like, 'Oh no, we don't want to do music any more'. Then they suggest doing it for $30m. I'm not doing it for $30m. I want to do it for $60m.\" The star's film company is currently making a sequel to the hit animation Gnomeo and Juliet - with Johnny Depp playing a puntastic new character called Sherlock Gnomes. John says he \"hopes\" profits from that movie can be ploughed into filming his life story. \"It's still got Tom Hardy attached to it. It's still a viable proposition. But only if we can do it the right way.\" Wonderful, Crazy Night is out on Virgin EMI in February 2016.",

John Fallon made £1.5m in 2016, including a £343,000 bonus. Pearson, whose share price has tumbled since last summer, said it was disappointed at the outcome of the vote. \"We acknowledge our shareholders' feedback and will continue to engage with them to ensure our approach to remuneration reflects the best long term interests of the company,\" it said in a statement Ahead of the vote at Friday's annual general meeting, Pearson announced that Mr Fallon had invested his full, post-tax bonus back into Pearson shares. In addition, chief financial officer Coram Williams had bought 5,000 shares and chairmen Sidney Taurel 20,000 shares through Pearson's secondary listing on the New York Stock Exchange, the company said. Pearson said the move was a sign that the directors were \"fully aligned with the long term growth prospects\" of the group. Mr Fallon received his bonus because Pearson met its operating profit target of £630m, although it made a £2.6bn pre-tax loss after writing down its US assets. Pearson, the former owner of the Financial Times, said Mr Fallon's basic salary was frozen and would remain so in 2017. News of the pay award had drawn criticism from the Institute of Directors and a high pay campaign group. Long-suffering investors have seen Pearson's share price sink amid profit warnings about the health of its operation in the US. However, the shares bounced 12.4% on Friday after Pearson announced plans to cut costs by £300m a year by the end of 2019. The company also launched a \"strategic review\" of its troubled US school publishing business. Pearson has already announced that it is in discussions with its joint venture partner Bertelsmann to sell its 47% stake in book publisher Penguin Random House. Meanwhile, 27% of investors in Man Group, the world's biggest listed hedge fund, rejected its 2016 remuneration report. However, Man said it had been talking to its biggest shareholders and had made \"material changes to the implementation of its remuneration policy\" and that it was clear a number of its shareholders acknowledged the \"positive steps taken to address previous concerns\". As a result, it added, fewer investors had rejected the latest remuneration report.",

Simon Lebus, acting head of Ofqual, said teachers' judgement was considered to be \"pretty reliable\". But he urged parents not to put teachers under pressure or make them \"uncomfortable\" over grade decisions. The acting chief regulator was giving evidence to the Commons Education Select Committee on Tuesday. He told MPs: \"We've created a system in which I think there are good incentives to allow teacher judgment to flourish and we've all got to play our part to support that.\" He added: \"I also think it's very important that parents give teachers the space to do it, because it's always a worry that parents get terribly involved and teachers feel uncomfortable and there's an intrusive interest so I think that's a really important point.\" England's Schools Minister Nick Gibb, who also appeared before the committee, said there were no plans to get rid of exams on a permanent basis, following two years of cancelled assessments due to the pandemic. Mr Gibb denied suggestions that exams could be phased out and said \"I absolutely can confirm\" that they would be kept in future years. \"What we have learnt is that exams are the fairest way of judging the attainment and ability and work of students and we want to get back to exams as soon as possible.\" Mr Gibb told MPs that, up until 4 January exams were going ahead - with various systems in place to account for the disruption to learning. \"It was only after the decision to close schools to most pupils from January, that we decided that the unfairness was too great.\" Teachers' burden Asked about the extra pressure on teachers this year, especially in terms of awarding grades for GCSEs and A-levels, Mr Gibb acknowledged that they had \"shouldered a huge burden\" and that the Department for Education was \"conscious of workload\". Ian Bauckham, acting chair of Ofqual, said teachers were being asked to \"step up and do more than they usually have to do by playing a significant part in the determination of grades\". \"We need to make sure the exam boards give them the structures and incentives to do the job, they can see needs doing, well. \"And I think that being clear that everyone will be subject to the same quality assurance, the same checks - that gives confidence to do the right thing in each individual circumstance.\" He said these structures would help teachers not to \"bow to the various pressures that they will undoubtedly come under\" from pupils and parents. Mr Baukham said it was up to senior leadership teams in school to make sure teachers got the \"support and structure they needed\". Mr Gibb also told MPs that it was \"good to see children back in school\" this week in England. Asked about Covid testing, the minister said that a negative PCR test would not over-rule a positive lateral flow test taken by a pupil in school under supervision, but would over-rule a lateral flow test done at home.",

Three protesters died in the clashes, Palestinian officials say, with another killed earlier on Saturday. The protests back the declared right of Palestinian refugees to return to ancestral homes in what is now Israel. At least 189 Palestinians and one Israeli soldier were killed between March and December 2018, the UN says. A UN inquiry says Israeli soldiers may have committed war crimes during the protest marches - a charge Israel rejects. This day of protests is a serious test of the fragile calm between Israel and Hamas, the Islamist group that runs the Palestinian-controlled Gaza Strip, says the BBC's Yolande Knell in Jerusalem. What has happened so far? The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) estimated the number of protesters at about 40,000 and several thousand Israeli troops were deployed along the border. The IDF said explosive devices had been thrown over the border fence and Israeli forces had responded with \"riot dispersal means\" and live bullets. Three Palestinian protesters, all teenage boys, have been killed and more than 300 have been wounded, Palestinian health officials say. The health officials say another man was shot dead by Israeli troops close to the fence overnight. Hamas had said it would try to keep the crowds a safe distance from the fence, with Egyptian and UN mediators trying to prevent further escalation. The clashes were limited in scope and fears of a large number of deaths have not materialised. The protests quietened in the evening. They came after a tense week in which Palestinian militants fired rockets at Israel and Israel's air force struck dozens of sites in Gaza. But Palestinian sources say Egyptian mediators have made some progress in reaching a new ceasefire agreement between the Palestinians and Israel. What happened during earlier protests? Palestinians have been taking part in protests along the border since 30 March 2018 as part of a campaign dubbed \"the Great March of Return\". The Israeli government designates Hamas a terrorist group which it says has been seeking to use the protests as a cover to cross into its territory and carry out attacks. It deployed soldiers along the border fence, who it said were ordered to resort to live fire only when absolutely necessary and when there was an imminent threat. A commission of inquiry was set up by the UN Human Rights Council. Thirty-five of the 189 Palestinian fatalities were children, three were clearly marked paramedics and two were clearly marked journalists, the commission found. The inquiry found reasonable grounds to believe that Israeli snipers had shot at children, medics and journalists, even though they were clearly recognisable as such. Four Israeli soldiers were injured at the demonstrations. One Israeli soldier was killed on a protest day but outside the protest sites, the commission said. Unless undertaken lawfully in self-defence, intentionally shooting a civilian not directly participating in hostilities is a war crime. Israel's acting foreign minister said it rejected the findings outright. \"The Human Rights Council's Theatre of the Absurd has once again produced a report that is hostile, mendacious and biased against Israel,\" Israel Katz said. \"No-one can deny Israel the right to self-defence and the obligation to protect its citizens and its borders against violent attacks.\"",

Mukalla is controlled by militants from al-Qaeda and residents warned it was ill-equipped to deal with a disaster. On Sunday, the cyclone battered the remote Yemeni island of Socotra, killing at least one person. Chapala is believed to be the most powerful storm Yemen has seen in decades. It comes as the country experiences a humanitarian crisis as a result of a war between forces loyal to the government and the Houthi rebel movement. 'Enormous damage' At 09:00 GMT on Tuesday, the US Navy's Joint Typhoon Warning Centre (JTWC) reported that the cyclone was generating gusts of up to 167 km/h (103 mph) when it briefly made landfall west of Mukalla, before tracking back into the Gulf of Aden. Hours later, Chapala hit the Yemeni coast again west of Balhaf, site of Yemen's liquefied natural gas terminal, and was expected to move west-north-westwards. The JTWC said the storm system would rapidly decay over the next 24 hours due to the interaction with the rugged and dry terrain of Yemen's Central Highlands. The cyclone could nevertheless deluge parts of the country with up to 50cm (20in) of rain in two days - 10 times the annual average. Residents of Mukalla, the capital of Hadramawt province, told the Reuters news agency on Tuesday that the seafront promenade and many homes had been destroyed by the cyclone. Water had submerged cars on the streets and dozens of families had fled a hospital because of the risk of rockslides, they added. \"The wind knocked out power completely in the city and people were terrified,\" one man said. \"Some residents had to leave their homes and escape to higher areas where flooding was less.\" Yemen's Fisheries Minister Fahd Kafain told the AFP news agency that Chapala had caused \"enormous\" damage and that he feared there would be fatalities. The UN's World Health Organisation (WHO) said it had delivered trauma kits for 1,000 patients in Mukalla, which has been controlled by al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula since April, and was providing fuel for hospitals and ambulances. The effects of the cyclone, it added, would be felt over large parts of Yemen but were likely to be more severe in Shabwa and Hadramawt. The provinces have a combined population of 1.8 million, including more than 100,000 internally displaced persons and 27,000 refugees and migrants. Chapala earlier wreaked havoc on Socotra, situated 368km (230 miles) south of the coast of Yemen in the Arabian Sea. At least one person was killed and more than 200 were injured as the cyclone passed over the island, generating gusts of up to 240km/h (150mph) - equivalent to a category 4 hurricane. The mayor of the provincial capital, Hadibu, told AFP that dozens of houses and hamlets were severely damaged or washed away. Socotra is home to about 50,000 people and hundreds of exotic plant species found nowhere else, including dragon's blood trees. Are you in Yemen? Are you affected?

Elections for the city's first elected mayor will be held on 3 May. Labour party candidate Ian Stewart declined to take part in the debate due to the presence of a BNP candidate. 'Decline of city' English Democrat candidate Michael Felse said his \"main standing point would be to cut council tax by 50%\" and recall a £730m regeneration programme to evaluate whether it was value for money. Karen Garrido, standing for the Conservatives, said she would deliver \"lower council tax year on year but not harm front-line services\" and if elected she would \"declare Salford open for business\" and explore \"imaginative ways to bring business into the city\". UKIP candidate Bernard Gill said he was \"not a career or professional politician\" but a pensioner \"concerned about the decline of our city\". He said pensioners who saved for their retirement had \"been let down by governments nationally and locally\". Independent candidate Paul Massey said: \"I'm here for the people. No-one trusts politicians any more, if people of Salford back me I'll be your voice.\" He said he was concerned about \"communities being broken up\" and appealed for voters to \"reunite behind me\".

If elected he pledged to \"review the role\" of the council's chief executive. Joe O'Neill, of the Green Party, said his manifesto was \"fuelled by fairness and a desire to reduce the gap between rich and poor\". He said: \"I will defend public services, protect the environment, strengthen local democracy, champion diversity, improve local transport and boost the local economy.\" 'Zero tolerance' BNP candidate Edward O'Sullivan said: \"We listen to people and what they want. When people in Salford come to me they say the thing they are angry about is the housing policies of the council. He said he would abolish the \"ridiculous bidding system\" for housing which he said \"is unfair to British people\". Liberal Democrat Norman Owen said: \"We need somebody to drag this city out of the situation it is in.\" He said he would \"appoint a cross party cabinet\" and \"ensure that every child's education counts\". He would also \"fight poverty and deprivation\" and \"restore heritage sites and promote tourism\".

There have been protests since 3 December when Belfast City Council voted to only fly the flag on designated days at city hall. Violence has flared following some of them. \"We're seeing trade down maybe 30% at the beginning, maybe about 20% now,\" Mr Neill told BBC Radio Ulster's Nolan Show. \"We're seeing premises sending staff home and this is our critical period, this is when we make a third of our year's turnover. We're getting hammered. \"A big chunk of our business is the evening economy and if people are uncertain about going out, we lose out. It's serious, it's critical.\" He said businesses were only starting to recover from the water crisis of December 2010, when at one point 40,000 properties in Northern Ireland were without running water during severe winter weather. \"Two years ago at Christmas we were left devastated and that cost jobs and caused premises to close,\" Mr Neill said. \"We're now looking again at our critical period, it's taken our guys probably two years to stabilise their bank accounts and we're losing out again. \"It's not for us to judge the rights and wrongs of this, all I can say is it's having a serious impact and it will cost jobs.\" Meanwhile, one man who had his car burned out following a protest in south Belfast has said it will be at least six months before he gets any compensation - if he gets it at all.

The difference in hue between Pluto and Charon is clear. But what catches the eye are four dark spots on the 2,300km-wide dwarf planet. Each spot is about 500km across. Quite why they should be so similar in size and spacing is not clear. Their dominant placing is on the hemisphere that New Horizons will not see during its close flyby on 14 July. However, there should be ample opportunity to study them in the days leading up to the encounter. “It’s a real puzzle - we don’t know what the spots are, and we can’t wait to find out,” said New Horizons principal investigator, Alan Stern, of the Southwest Research Institute. “Also puzzling is the longstanding and dramatic difference in the colours and appearance of Pluto compared to its darker and greyer moon Charon.” If, as scientists think, Pluto and Charon are the products of a collision between two primitive bodies in the early Solar System, one might expect them to look more similar. New Horizon’s flyby data will hopefully provide the answer. The US space agency (Nasa) mission is now closing in on Pluto and its five moons. The moment of closest approach on the 14th will take place at 11:49 GMT, when the probe is just 12,500km above the surface. It is moving too fast - at 13.7km/s - to go into orbit, and it will simply scream past the dwarf and its satellites, gathering as much data as it can. No pictures will be sent back to Earth on the day itself; the spacecraft will be too busy executing its pre-programmed observation campaign. Instead, the first images from the flyby should be presented on the following day, on 15 July. Controllers have decided not to alter the course of the probe. They had been looking for icy debris in the vicinity of Pluto that might pose a collision hazard, but could find nothing obvious. New Horizons was commanded to make a thruster burn earlier this week, to speed it up ever so slightly. This will ensure the spacecraft reaches a precise point in space and time to carry out the pre-programmed observation sequence. The probe must spin around to take pictures of all the different targets, and if its navigation is off by even a small amount it will be looking in the wrong direction at the critical moment. On Thursday, New Horizons was just under 15 million km from Pluto, but 4.7 billion km from Earth. The vast distance to the probe's home world means a radio signal takes about 4.5 hours from sending to receipt. The BBC will be screening a special Sky At Night programme about Pluto on Monday 20 July, which will recap all the big moments from the New Horizons flyby.

However, Mal O'Hara from the Green Party in NI, said the deal was \"potentially an unjust transition\". \"We are really worried about how this potentially impacts on the most vulnerable,\" he said. The proposed coalition would see Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael sharing power for the first time in Irish history, with essential support from the Green Party. Speaking on BBC News NI's Good Morning Ulster, Mr Calleary described the Irish coalition government's programme as a document of climate ambition as well as social ambition. \"We have a major social housing programme,\" he said. \"We will acquire 50,000 social houses over the course of the lifetime of government. \"We have guaranteed there will be no reduction in social welfare payments. We will initiate a referendum on the right to a house which will substantially change housing policy here and we are also looking at a range of measures in relation to affordable housing to give people the opportunity to own their own house.\" The new coalition government would also invest in the health system building on lessons learned over the course of the pandemic, he said. While recognising that the idea of a coalition with its traditional rival, Fine Gael, was difficult for some members of his party, he defended it strongly. \"It represents the best opportunity for everybody on the island. \"It puts this island on a very good path in terms of climate....but also in terms of social policy and delivering for those who have challenges in their lives,\" he said.

The statement said a \"better deal is possible\" and voting no was \"a step towards securing that better deal\". Her deputy in the Northern Ireland party, Mr O'Hara, told Good Morning Ulster on Monday that he would also be voting no. \"While there are significant gains and some wins in terms of environmental action - particularly around energy and the banning of imported fracking gas - it doesn't provide the other systemic changes we would hope to see in terms of the economic model issues, the income for taxation and also the social changes - particularly on health care and housing - we would have hoped to have seen,\" he said. \"We are really worried about how this potentially impacts on the most vulnerable,\" he added. Mr O'Hara said this was being presented as \"this deal or nothing\" but pointed out that there were other options on the table going forward. Analysis: Greens remember decimation after its last Dublin coalition By Gareth Gordon, BBC News NI political correspondent It appears there may be no great groundswell among the Green Party NI to go into government in Dublin - if there is, their members aren't telling us. The Green Party in NI, much like the Alliance Party, has done very well in keeping out of of orange and green politics, especially around issues surrounding the border. Many of their party members in Northern Ireland do not vote along traditional nationalist or unionist lines and may have not registered to vote fearing that this could potentially rock the boat in terms of venturing into what is a different political jurisdiction. The history of minority partners in coalition governments not doing well is well known by the Green Party, who were practically decimated in government in Dublin almost a decade ago. Party members may just be apprehensive about what repercussions are in store if they do choose to go back into a coalition. The Republic of Ireland held a general election on 8 February, in which no party came close to winning an 80-seat majority that would allow them to govern alone. Talks to form a coalition were then delayed by the coronavirus outbreak. On Monday 15 June, the leaders of Fianna Fáil, Fine Gael and the Green Party in the Republic of Ireland agreed a draft programme for government, but it is subject to approval by members of all three parties. Green Party members in Northern Ireland can vote on the deal, but only 195 out of about 800 members had registered to do so by last Wednesday's deadline. The Green Party had 12 representatives elected to the Dáil (Irish Parliament) in February's election.

            "input": "By Hannah RichardsonBBC News education reporter Nursery teachers and other child carers will no longer need training in how children learn through play under two key qualifications being drawn up. Play is central to learning for under-fives and should feature heavily in the criteria, nursery groups say. There is no contradiction between teaching and play, the government says. The Department for Education has been consulting on two new flagship qualifications, the Early Years Educator (EYE) and the Early Years Teacher (EYT), designed to increase the skills of those working with babies and young children. They will be required by nurseries in England from September 2014. The A-Level-standard EYE qualification says the worker should \"deliver children's early education and development from birth to the age of five\" and \"have an understanding of how children learn and develop\". It also requires them to \"deliver effective teaching and learning\" enabling children to progress and be ready for school. While the EYT requires the teacher to have a clear understanding of synthetic phonics in the teaching of reading and appropriate strategies in the teaching of early mathematics, there is no mention of theories underpinning structured play. The Department for Education said: \"There is no contradiction between teaching children and play. Good nurseries do both - education and enjoyment go hand-in-hand.\" But the three major bodies representing nurseries, pre-schools and childminders say not mentioning play is a major omission. Pre-School Learning Alliance chief executive Neil Leitch said: \"Learning through play is the cornerstone of good practice in early years because play is how young children learn and make sense of the world. \"The ability of practitioners to support children's play in this way is an essential skill in promoting children's development and should be recognised in these qualifications. We are very disappointed that it is not.\" He said the role of the childcare practitioner was to create the right environment for young children to explore and learn in a way which extends their interests at their own pace. \"This is why we have concerns about the top-down pressure from government that could lead to the 'schoolification' of early years as a result of developmentally inappropriate practice such as having young children sit in rows and hold pencils.\" 'Explore and develop' He added: \"I have this fear that we are moving to a position where we are not wanting our children to be children any more.\" There was a growing culture of \"rushing children\" to a point where they could produce a return for the economy, instead of following academic evidence that learning through structured play and self-development was the best way to prepare children for a successful education, he said. Purnima Tanuku, chief executive of the National Day Nurseries Association, said \"play should be there in every line\" of the criteria. \"Children and babies are learning all the time and they are learning through play - even when they go on to schools. You just can't separate it,\" she said. While a spokesman for Pacey, the Professional Association for Childcare and Early Years, said: \"These qualifications contain no requirement to have an understanding of play theory or practice.\" This was of particular concern as the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), the official guidelines on how children under five are cared for and educated, is meant to be based on play, it said. \"Early Years Teachers (EYT) must be required to know that children learn through well-structured play, when they have opportunities to explore and develop their own ideas. \"The expectation that teachers will be able to provide adequately for play, without being given any formal knowledge or understanding during their qualifying years, will only set them up to fail children in their early years, when learning through play is a crucial part of their lives.\" And Christine Blower, general secretary of the National Union of Teachers, said: \"Play is a fundamental and appropriate part of the early years phase of education and it is therefore disappointing, not to say incomprehensible, that the government has excluded it from their draft framework. \"Structured play is valuable to children in so many ways. Principally, it allows them to develop confidence and enjoy learning new skills. The government should stop sending a message that play does not contribute to child development.\" The National College for Teaching and Leadership, which has drawn up the criteria, said educators and teachers would be expected to meet the requirements of the EYFS. \"The EYFS has a requirement for planned, purposeful play and so is already included within the score of the standards and criteria.\"",

            "input": "Comments that were due to appear in a speech by Labour's shadow immigration minister Chris Bryant were reported in the press at the weekend, attacking Tesco and Next for their employment practices. The MP originally referred to \"unscrupulous employers\" but later modified the comment and other excerpts after complaints from the two retailers. BBC News website readers share their views and experiences on the issue of foreign workers. Dave, Pontefract I have worked for Next for over 17 years. In my experience Next try to recruit locally by advertising for friends and family. My nephew is 20 and he has just got a job at Next through a friends and family recruitment drive. Like other large companies, they use agency workers to provide a workforce during short-term peaks. I have many friends at Next from countries all over the world. Their hard work while employed with agencies has given them the reward of a permanent contract. I am not a fan of recruitment agencies in a modern world. I don't see the need to involve a third party for recruiting staff - if you can advertise on the web people will apply for vacant positions. If the suggestions by Chris Bryant hold any substance, why does this happen in a place like Next where there is a recognised trade union in place? In my village Next should be credited for the employment they have brought to an area devastated by Tory policies in the 80s. There were many other areas in the country where they could have located. People in the EU have the right to move where the work is to better their lives. It's what we call freedom. Adrian, London I own a recruitment agency that supplies temporary, unskilled labour in London. Around 90% to 95% of our workforce is non-British. While our doors are open to all who are legally entitled to work in this country, there are two reasons for the apparent imbalance. Firstly, very few British people respond to our adverts or make themselves available for work. Secondly, those who do contact us are invariably poorly presented, lacking in enthusiasm and flexibility and if given a chance to work for us, are far more likely to let us down than workers of other nationalities. While the reasons for this can be speculated, the fact remains that recruitment agencies stand or fall by the quality of the staff they send out to represent them. Within our sector, any company that relied upon British unskilled workers in London would be out of business instantly. There is an additional problem concerning the way in which many agencies, usually pressured by major customers, all but ignore the Agency Workers Regulations. However, the practice does not discriminate against UK citizens - it is blanket abuse. Michael, Sheffield I think companies should employ people directly, rather than relying on agencies to do it. That way they can choose who they want to employ and they will know how many people are locals and how many are from other countries. I'm sure employees would get a better deal that way as well, as it would not be so easy for companies to find casual labour. I'm from Slovakia and I've lived in in the UK for eight years. In that time I've never had a permanent job - I've always had a temporary contract from an agency. Currently I work for an agency on a zero-hours contract, and I don't get any overtime pay, bank holiday pay or bank holiday overtime pay. Previously, I worked for a distribution centre in South Yorkshire and recruitment agencies for jobs at that centre were hiring directly from Poland and even advertising in Polish. I don't think it's just about foreigners - I think agencies prefer to hire people that are not from the area. That way they can control people more easily. If workers are from other countries they can't open their mouths and complain because they might have to go home if they lose their jobs. Anna, Edinburgh As a retired businesswoman who has employed Poles, I have experience of what goes on and have seen all sorts of things. Last year I was winding up my business and I had the offer of a cleaning contract with a restaurateur. They were paying £9 per hour which wasn't viable for us and the rate we paid our staff. The next day the jobs were advertised on a Polish website in Polish at £7 per hour - with no-one else getting a look in at doing the work. Because I speak Polish (my parents were immigrants to this country) I know that a large number of big companies like First buses and Tesco do advertise in Poland in Polish for workers. There are so many other issues surrounding this. My company employed a supervisor; she was well paid with a company car etc. Her husband came from Poland to work with First buses and they got social housing even though they own three properties in Poland and she had a good job. It seems there is no way for the system to check the information given by people coming from abroad. I also know of people who come over from Poland to sign on then get cheap Ryanair flights back. It upsets me as it abuses a system that so many other people really need. There is this hallowed idea of hard work associated with Poland that has somehow got into the British business psyche - but Poles work hard and so do Brits. Brits are lazy and so are Poles. People are people and you get the same types all over. John, Tunbridge Wells I am an employer in the healthcare industry and nearly half of my employees are from Eastern Europe. My British employees are wonderful, but to find them I have had to work very hard. I have had to build a work ethic in that part of the team that seems to be a natural part of my Eastern European employees' nature. I employ two Eastern European nurses who have been working for us for five years and four years respectively. Neither one has ever taken a sick day in that time. My Eastern European staff are punctual, very hardworking and they learn fast. They are so good that there are a number of other clinics in London that have tried to pinch them. We ask them not to speak in a foreign language among themselves in front of customers. One employee did have some difficulty with English so we bought her a language course and she worked on it very hard and now she has mastered it to a very good level. I thought we signed up to a common market, and in that common market everybody's job prospects should be equal. If local people were ready to come forward, do the interviews, do the extended studies that our Eastern Europeans do as a matter of course, then we could employ more local people.",

It blames the worsening economic crisis and fears of a hard winter. \"This has forced us to close some greenhouses, reduce the heated areas of others, and cut our plant collection,\" the statement says. There are concerns over winter fuel availability in Ukraine, as Russia is threatening to cut the gas supplies on which the country depends.

To safeguard the site's varied collection, botanists have chosen species that it already has in sufficient numbers. But a range of \"decorative, environmentally-sustainable tropical and subtropical plants\" are on offer, including palm trees, rubber plants, aloe and papaya. Some are even small enough for a window box, the statement adds. The sell-off has been met with dismay on social media, with some Facebook users offering to chip in to help the gardens. Another user, Oksana Haluha, suggests \"taking the plants home temporarily and then bringing them back in the spring\". Ukraine is suffering a protracted economic crisis, caused mainly by political instability following the mass protests that ousted pro-Russian President Viktor Yanukovych in February, and Russia's subsequent annexation of Crimea and support for insurgents in the east.

A year ago three men drove a van into pedestrians on the bridge then descended on the busy Borough Market, killing eight people and injuring 48 others. Some were left with life-changing injuries. Holding a bouquet of lilies, Lucy Fisher watched as hundreds of people entered Southwark Cathedral, metres from where her cousin's life was taken. James McMullan, 32, was one of the eight people that died. \"It was a terrible time,\" she said. The majority of the victims were tourists or foreigners working in London. Some attendees had flown to the UK especially for the service, clutching their passports and orders of service in one hand, flowers in the other. Away from Southwark Cathedral, the area's pubs and restaurants also remained quiet. Staff in the pubs - who last year courageously protected customers by barricading the doors of their establishments - refuse to discuss the harrowing experience. One manager said: \"We don't want to talk about that night, we just want to try and move on.\" James and his daughter, Cara, from west London, know a man who was injured that night. \"We come to London Bridge quite a lot but we've made the trip especially today because of the service and to pay our respects,\" said James. \"We have to take our hat off to the people of Borough Market and to those who were there that evening.\" As 700 guests commemorated those who were affected inside the cathedral, hundreds of others gathered around the Southwark Needle. Rashid Hamaida, a telecommunications salesman who lives in Borough, was there when the attackers struck. \"Initially it was utter confusion,\" he said. \"You were terrified, you just wanted to get out.\" His wife, Jane, and their daughter, Alexis, joined the crowd to pay their respects. \"We're proud to be British, we're proud to be Londoners, we're proud to be from Borough,\" Jane said. \"We just want to stand in solidarity with everyone else who has suffered through these terrorist attacks.\" Debra, who has lived in south London her whole life, described how her son was travelling to London Bridge Station on the night of the attack. \"I was frantic trying to get hold of him to come back,\" she said. \"Today was necessary. People know the importance of being here.\" After the hour-long service, guests made their way to Southwark Needle in complete silence. Then the victims' families laid flowers as more than 1,000 people watched, remembering the horrific events that took place. After the service, the crowds dispersed, breaking their reverent silence and going about their normal day. But for Katie Miller and Jen de Polo, it had to be a visit to the Wheatsheaf pub - where armed officers shot the three attackers. \"I think it's very typical of London and British culture,\" said Katie. \"We don't let any of that type of thing stopping us doing what we want to do.\"",

They met a few celebrity supporters along the route including TV presenter Lorraine Kelly and former snooker world champion John Higgins. The 42 In 42 challenge was organised to raise funds for the JMA Trust. The charity was set up in memory of Celtic and Annan Athletic fan John Maurice Aitken, who died from lymphoma last year aged 32. His brothers, Kevin and Ciaran, took part in the road trip along with friends and former Annan Athletic players Gordon Moffat, Joe Cranston and Gary McMenamin. They set a fundraising target of £5,000 but after crossing the finish line ahead of time at Annan's Galabank stadium in Dumfries and Galloway on Friday night, they have seen donations total three times that amount. Lorraine, snooker star and Gers 'keeper Kevin, 32, said: \"The support we've had has just been amazing and the people who turned up at various grounds really kept us going. \"We changed driver at every stop and it was a bit rocky in the car at times - especially through the night when we were tired and it was cold. We were visiting the grounds around Inverness and Aberdeen at that point and there was nobody around as it was the middle of the night. \"But then we got down to Dundee United on Friday where Lorraine Kelly met us at Tannadice. She knew all about the charity and she was brilliant - meeting her gave us a real boost. \"There were definitely some points along the way where it was quite emotional because I knew how much it would have meant to John. He loved football and the whole thing would have been right up his street.\" The group were met by snooker star Higgins when they visited Celtic Park, while Rangers goalkeeper Cammy Bell handed over a donation of £1,000 to the charity when they stopped at Ibrox. The team have raised almost £9,000 on their sponsorship website, with an extra £5,000 collected offline, with more funds to be added to the total through a half-time appearance at Annan's match against East Fife on Saturday as well as an auction of signed shirts donated by each club. Mr Aitken's family launched the JMA Trust in his memory at the end of last year with the aim of echoing his attitude and focusing on the aspects of life that were close to his heart. It will provide support to those in need in areas including health, education, employment, sport and will also help relieve financial hardship.",

A total of six rallies were held across the UK in Manchester, Belfast, Cardiff, Newcastle and Glasgow, organised by the pressure group Pregnant Then Screwed. For Chloe, motherhood meant job change. \"I had tried very hard to keep up my practice as a self-employed barrister, but it just doesn't work with family and childcare hours. \"So I've recently taken the decision to become employed in the public sector because my dream career is no longer available for me. \"I really believe in equal parenting and co-parenting, and I think at the moment it's really very difficult for that to take place - at the moment women are the primary caregivers and I would like that to change for my daughters.\" 'Sackings, redundancies, demotions' Joeli Brearley, mother-of-two and founder of Pregnant Then Screwed, has made it her mission to raise awareness of discrimination and to help women who are victims of discriminatory behaviour. \"I've spoken to a lot of other mothers and I realised it [discriminatory behaviour] was happening all the time - sackings, redundancies, demotions, bullying, harassment. \"The whole system is a mess, it just doesn't work for working parents. We want to see the government tackle the underlying issues creating the problem.\" Hatty Ashdown, a self-employed comedian, says working mothers often feel it's best not to mention that they have children. \"There's an unhealthy fear among mothers not to want to rock the boat. \"If I'm offered a casting, I just accept, I don't say, 'Let me just check childcare.' I feel, if I say that, they'll not put me at the top of the list. \"I had an interview and I was conscious of not mentioning that I have a child and then the lady interviewing let slip she had a kid so I then felt OK to mention that I did too. \"I feel I've got to stand up for my friends who can't come today because they're in these awkward jobs and are scared to speak out.\" Dads join the campaign The rallies were not just attended by mothers - many fathers also showed their support. Tim Todhunter, father of a 10-month-old baby, says he's never protested before, but feels mothers' rights need to be better protected. \"I know lots of women who've not been able to progress their careers because they're seen as a mother, almost as a risk. \"It's terrible that women often have to lose their jobs or aren't favoured in their work just because they have a baby. \"I've never come on a protest before, but I feel like a lot of people have stopped and listened and hopefully we'll be able to work for change.\" What changes does the group want to see? Pregnant Then Screwed is using the rallies to call for five things: What does the government say about this? A spokesman for the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy said: \"The UK's maternity leave system is one of the most generous in the world, with eligible working parents able to benefit from up to 50 weeks of shared parental leave, a right to request flexible working and £2,000-a-year of tax-free childcare per child.\" Most mothers are entitled to up to 52 weeks of leave and up to 39 weeks of guaranteed pay - nearly three times the minimum EU requirement, the spokesman added. However, he stressed: \"But let's be clear, discrimination in the workplace is illegal in any form and we are considering ways of ensuring new and expectant mums feel properly supported and protected at work.\" Additional reporting by BBC reporter Joice Etutu",

Her eldest son Rev Maurice Perry, 81, attended with his wife Ruth by sitting outside while his mother was inside. Mr Perry said it was a \"lovely day\" and his mother looked \"magnificent\". The day before Mrs Perry's birthday, she wheeled through red curtains beneath a \"congratulations\" banner to mark the end of her quarantine. She was not admitted to hospital but had to isolate for two weeks at The Willows Care Home in Shepshed. \"Two weeks seemed a long time,\" she said. \"But the day I came out of isolation I enjoyed my day very much. \"Thanks to all at the care home for my birthday. I'm very tired… but happy!\" She also said she was \"pleased\" with all her cards, particularly the one from the mayor. Mr Perry, who lives near Boston in Lincolnshire, said: \"The door was between us and her and we occasionally opened it for a few minutes. At least she knew we were there. \"For her age she is amazing really. \" Mrs Perry used to run a taxi business with her husband and became one of the first female taxi drivers in Loughborough. Two of the couple's favourite songs were played at the party as they would sing them together at their dance club. Mrs Perry's younger son Michael, 76, lives in Llandudno, North Wales, and missed the party because Welsh lockdown regulations prevented him from leaving the area. He said: \"Mum has been looked after very well indeed - she has been inundated with flowers and given a party.\" Follow BBC East Midlands on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram.

            "input": "The ruling People's Movement for the Liberation of Angola (MPLA) has won a huge majority in parliament following the 23 August election, according to official results, meaning he will succeed Jose Eduardo Dos Santos. Under Mr Dos Santos, there was one golden rule for anyone who wanted to survive politically in Angola: Do not make your ambitions known. President Dos Santos remained in charge by making sure that any potential challenger was quickly sidelined. Joao Lourenco, 63, known as JLo, who was born to a family involved in anti-colonial politics, learnt that lesson the hard way. In 1998, the liberation war veteran and Angolan Armed Forces general was elected MPLA secretary-general - a sign that his political fortunes were on the rise. Three years later, when President Dos Santos hinted that he might be ready to resign the presidency, Mr Lourenco made known his interest in the top job. But the MPLA victory, early in 2002, in a 27-year civil war against the National Union for the Total Independence of Angola (Unita), served to relaunch Mr Dos Santos' presidency, and any talk of retirement was soon forgotten. The following year at the 2003 MPLA party congress, Mr Lourenco was demoted. In 2012, as Mr Dos Santos approached 70, the succession issue became more pressing. When the president elevated his cousin, Manuel Vicente, to become vice-president, some foreign observers saw this as the anointing of Mr Vicente as a successor. However, Mr Lourenco, would have known better - that the MPLA would never endorse a political outsider like Mr Vicente as president, and that a man with no military pedigree was a risky choice in a country where the security forces lurk in the shadows of politics. Mr Lourenco, on the other hand, could be confident that he himself had both the party and the military credentials, and that this was enough to earn forgiveness for his lack of caution a decade earlier. Sure enough, his appointment as defence minister in 2014 signalled his rehabilitation. And his election in 2016 as MPLA party vice-president left no doubt that he would succeed the by now ailing Mr Dos Santos. But Mr Dos Santos's long-held suspicion of potential rivals has made it nearly impossible for Mr Lourenco, or anyone else, to show initiative or cultivate a following. This makes it difficult to know what to expect from the next president of one of Africa's biggest oil producers. Who is Joao Lourenco? Is Angola's Dos Santos really giving up power? While Mr Lourenco is only 12 years younger than President Dos Santos, he has been forced in the past few months to reinvent himself as a bringer of generational change. The man born in 1954, schooled in the military and in the mysteries of the political culture of the old MPLA, has suddenly discovered social media. He rarely looks entirely comfortable in his Facebook photos, even when relaxing at home with his wife, the former government minister and World Bank official Ana Dias Lourenco. Although not naturally charismatic, Mr Lourenco's down-to-earth image is in sharp contrast to the affected manners of the equally uncharismatic Mr Dos Santos. After the MPLA's final election rally, Mr Lourenco was filmed walking among the crowd, and showing young voters how to make their cross on a sample ballot paper. Although the incident was choreographed for the TV cameras, Mr Lourenco displayed more of a common touch in one minute than his predecessor had managed in decades. He looks set to take control of a state in which President Dos Santos' relatives and loyalists remain in key positions and Mr Dos Santos himself remains in the kingmaker role as MPLA chairman. Mr Lourenco will, however, have the support of those who see the corruption of the Mr Dos Santos regime as a liability to the party's future. The MPLA is under unprecedented pressure. During the post-2003 oil boom, the government did little to diversify the economy away from its reliance on oil. Consequently the slump in the oil price since 2014 has led to a foreign currency squeeze, job losses and soaring food prices in a country where most people were already struggling to make ends meet. Once he takes over as president, Mr Lourenco needs to consolidate an independent support base within the MPLA. And the sooner Mr Dos Santos quits as party leader, the better for Mr Lourenco. In the end, the health of Angola's long-time leader, who has been undergoing cancer treatment for at least a year, could prove crucial.",

Florence made landfall on Friday, with the centre of the storm striking Wrightsville Beach in North Carolina, with gales of up to 90mph (150 km/h). The National Hurricane Center says that despite the gradual lowering in wind strength, the storm remains extremely dangerous because of the high volume of rainfall and storm surges predicted. Some 10 million people are now under some form of storm watch. Storm will hit east coast Georgia, North and South Carolina, Virginia and Maryland have declared a state of emergency as forecasts showed Florence dumping historic amounts of rain on the area. Tens of thousands of homes are already without power and rains and surging seas have inundated coastal areas. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (Fema) said people living near rivers, streams and lowland areas in the region were most at risk. \"Inland flooding kills a lot of people, unfortunately, and that's what we're about to see,\" said Brock Long, head of Fema. Evacuation warnings are in place for 1.7 million people. More than 1,400 flights have been cancelled, according to FlightAware.com, with most of the coastal region's airports closed. The weather system that became Hurricane Florence has been travelling west from Africa toward the US since 29 August. Its wind speeds reached hurricane levels in the mid-Atlantic. Storm surges could be devastating The biggest danger to life could be from storm surges, which are still predicted to be as high as 13ft (4m) between Cape Fear and Cape Lookout in North Carolina. Meteorologists have warned some rivers may see their flows \"reversed\". Storm surges are caused when huge volumes of water are pushed by hurricane-force winds. When they meet land, the water surges inshore at levels far exceeding normal tides. Storm could dump record rainfall Florence is forecast to dump up to 40in (one metre) of rain in some areas after it makes landfall. By Friday morning, the North Carolina coastal town of Atlantic Beach had already received 30in (76cm) of rain, the US Geological Service said. The torrential rainfall could last for significant periods and cause catastrophic flooding, including in inland areas such as Alabama, Tennessee, Kentucky and West Virginia. National Weather Service forecaster Brandon Locklear said North Carolina is likely to see eight months' worth of rain in two to three days. Florence's winds are still strong The hurricane's wind speeds have fallen from a category two level of 96-110mph to a category one level of 74-95mph. There will be hurricane-force winds up to 80 miles from the centre of the storm, meteorologists say. Florence was being followed in the Atlantic by two other storms - Hurricane Helene and Tropical Storm Isaac. But Helene is now moving north east towards the UK and Isaac is moving west across the Caribbean. How hurricanes happen Hurricanes A guide to the world's deadliest storms Hurricanes are violent storms that can bring devastation to coastal areas, threatening lives, homes and businesses. Hurricanes develop from thunderstorms, fuelled by warm, moist air as they cross sub-tropical waters. Warm air rises into the storm. Air swirls in to fill the low pressure in the storm, sucking air in and upwards, reinforcing the low pressure. The storm rotates due to the spin of the earth and energy from the warm ocean increases wind speeds as it builds. When winds reach 119km/h (74mph), it is known as a hurricane - in the Atlantic and Eastern Pacific - or a typhoon in the Western Pacific. \"Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the face. Well, we're about to get punched in the face.\" Florida Mayor Bob Buckhorn, ahead of Hurricane Irma (2017) The central eye of calmer weather is surrounded by a wall of rainstorms.This eyewall has the fastest winds below it and violent currents of air rising through it. A mound of water piles up below the eye which is unleashed as the storm reaches land. These storm surges can cause more damage from flooding than the winds. \"Urgent warning about the rapid rise of water on the SW FL coast with the passage of #Irma's eye. MOVE AWAY FROM THE WATER!\"Tweet from the National Hurricane Center The size of hurricanes is mainly measured by the Saffir-Simpson scale - other scales are used in Asia Pacific and Australia. Winds 119-153km/hSome minor flooding, little structural damage. Storm surge +1.2m-1.5m Winds 154-177km/hRoofs and trees could be damaged. Storm surge +1.8m-2.4m Winds 178-208km/hHouses suffer damage, severe flooding Storm surge +2.7m-3.7m Hurricane Sandy (2012) caused $71bn damage in the Caribbean and New York Winds 209-251km/hSome roofs destroyed and major structural damage to houses.

            "input": "By Vicky BakerBBC News This was US President Donald Trump's advice to the public if they were worried about catching coronavirus. He made the comments in a video message posted shortly after being discharged from hospital on Monday, having received treatment since his own diagnosis. But, as many have pointed out, this was a man with a helicopter, a large medical team and experimental drug treatments at his disposal. How does the picture change for Americans with Covid-19 who do not reside at the White House? It is hard to pinpoint the \"average American\" amid such a diverse country and such a complicated health system, but here are some of the areas where the president received special treatment and a look at how this compares to the experiences of the wider population. A team of doctors and a luxury suite The president has a medical centre on site at the White House, but, as the country's commander in chief, he also had access to the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in nearby Bethesda, Maryland. He was transferred there swiftly after his diagnosis and stayed for three days in the hospital's presidential suite - one of six rooms reserved for high-ranking military officers and cabinet members. It included a dining room, office space and sofas for receiving visitors. \"VIP treatment is a feature of American medicine,\" read an article in Washington Post, looking at the president's treatment. \"Major hospitals throughout the country have private spaces for celebrities, the super-rich and the influential, patients who want to be shielded from the public and just may make a large donation if they are happy with their care.\" Compare this to the intensive care wards across the country, where beds have been running out at various points during the pandemic. Hospitals in Florida, Texas and Arizona have all struggled with maximum occupancy in the summer. The Texas Medical Center in Houston, for example, prepared a Covid \"war room\", using various strategies to save space, such as involving reassigning staff, putting beds closer together and using regular beds for emergency use. Fiana Tulip, from Texas, lost her mother to the disease in July. She told the BBC that her mother was scared of the overcrowded hospitals in Dallas at the time. \"My mum - a healthcare worker who put her life at risk every single day - didn't want to go to the hospital because it was worse there, because it was full, because she wouldn't get the care that she needed, and she knew that because she worked in a hospital,\" Ms Tulip said. Case numbers have since fallen below this peak, but there are concerns they could rise again over winter. The president was also fortunate to have the high-tech facilities of the Walter Reed hospital so close by. People living in rural parts of the US may have to travel vast distances to get medical treatment. A study from the University of North Carolina showed that 120 rural hospitals have closed in the past decade. \"Rural places have far fewer physicians to treat the virus (20 per 10,000 versus 70 per 10,000 in metro places), and smaller hospitals with less specialised services staff, and more uninsured people (14%, compared to 7% in large metros),\" says David J Peters, a professor in rural sociology at Iowa State University. \"The ability of using telemedicine to address this gap is limited, as nearly 55% of rural households do not have broadband internet access (compared to 35% in metros). Rural places are also vulnerable because they lack access to the interstate system, making transportation of patients, health providers, and supplies difficult and time consuming.\" Travelling by helicopter The president had no such transportation worries. He travelled to hospital in a private helicopter, Marine One, which took off from the White House lawn. The trip took 10 minutes. Even by car, it would have only taken around half an hour. Ms Tulip said it was hard to watch the president \"hop on a helicopter in his front yard\" after her mother's death. She said her mother tried to persuade family members not to call an ambulance for her, because she did not want to lumber them with insurance concerns. Across the US many Americans fear calling an ambulance, in case their insurance does not cover the costs. One man in rural Kansas told local radio station KCUR-FM that he was landed with a $80,000 bill for an air ambulance when he got severely ill with coronavirus complications in April. The bill was later resolved and he did not have to pay, but only after extensive wrangling between the provider and his insurer. Such stressful exchanges - often combining lots of paperwork and phone calls - are common after a hospital stay in the US. The president will not have had these concerns. Hospital admission The president was admitted to Walter Reed hospital less than 24 hours after his test result was announced. Although there had been some mixed messages over his condition, his doctor said he was experiencing \"mild\" symptoms. \"Patients usually only get admitted if they're potentially critical,\" says Anthony Almojera, a paramedic in New York City. \"They are told to go home and only to come to the hospital if they develop shortness of breath.\" \"During the height of the pandemic, we left people home who didn't fit certain critical criteria,\" he adds. Though he says the pressure has since eased in the city, as case numbers have fallen. However, Dr John Zurlo, an infectious disease specialist at the Thomas Jefferson University Hospitals in Philadelphia, says admission decisions can be a grey area. \"If you take a hypothetical 74-year-old with underlying health conditions and they have a fever, a case could be made for hospitalisation,\" he says. \"But insurance companies scrutinise all admissions. They may come back and ask: 'Why did he need to come in for three days?' and the hospital has to justify it.\" \"But a low blood oxygen level is plenty of reason, even in a younger person,\" he adds, and the president's doctor did refer to his levels having dipped twice. Dr Zurlo does, however, caution against using the phrase \"checking-in\" when referring to hospitals. \"In consultation with my doctors, I checked myself into Morristown Medical Center this afternoon,\" tweeted New Jersey Governor Chris Christie - a close associate of the president who has also tested positive within the last week. Dr Zurlo says: \"They are not hotels. You have to be admitted. An insurer will not pay for unnecessary hospitalisation. So unless you are ultra-rich - and even Christie is not that sort of VIP - then mere mortals cannot do this.\" One such mere mortal, Juan Rios, a medical worker in New York, says he had no trouble getting admitted when his breathing deteriorated and he experienced pneumonia alongside Covid-19 earlier this year, but he felt he was being rushed out during his recovery. \"They wanted to discharge me with a low oxygen level and I didn't feel comfortable going home, so I had to get my private physician involved to stay an extra day or two at the hospital,\" he says. Experimental drugs President Trump would not have been discharged before he was ready. But what sort of treatment did he received as an in-patient? According to his doctors, he has been treated with a number of different drugs: People were mostly surprised by the use of the antibody therapy, as it is still classed as experimental. Clinical trials are ongoing and the president is one of only a handful of people outside those trials to undergo the treatment under what is known as \"compassionate use\". Robert Wachter, professor and chair of the department of medicine at the University of California at San Francisco, told the Washington Post he was not surprised: \"He is the president of the United States. For him to get the most vigorous therapies . . . even if we have not yet reached the point where there is enough evidence to make it available to everyone in the country, doesn't seem off to me.\" But would these same treatments be offered to regular patients? Dexamethasone is \"cheap and available\", according to Dr Zurlo. \"We also have a lot of Remdesivir in our hospital. We were given a big free supply from the company and we still have plenty. I imagine a lot of hospitals have it now, too, at least in urban areas.... And if you are sick enough to be hospitalised, you will qualify for all these treatments.\" The exception, he says, is the particular antibody treatment that Mr Trump underwent, which is still not available to the masses.

We have the best medicines, all developed recently,\" said Mr Trump, in his motivational post-discharge video. Many of his supporters said the speech was inspiring. His optimism does have some foundation in that medical research into Covid-19 is so much more advanced now than it was at the start of the pandemic, but critics still feel the comments were tone-deaf and failed to show empathy towards those who have had a much harder time with the disease. \"While it may be correct to say the United States has some of the best healthcare services in the world, it is not accessible to all Americans equally,\" says Professor Peters. \"The poor, minorities and rural Americans have less access to healthcare and suffer from worse health outcomes.\" Mr Rios, who is now back to work after his own stint in hospital, is also critical: \"It is really easy for him to say that while receiving the best treatment in the world. He had everything at his disposal. I don't think he would like getting the basic treatment, like I did and many others did too.\"",

The reports are based on documents leaked by whistleblower Edward Snowden. The Foreign Office said it did not comment on such \"speculation\". Under the seven-decade-old UK-US agreement on intelligence sharing, Britain and America's intelligence agencies are not supposed to collect information on each other without permission. Before 2007, if the US - on one of its other operations - had come across a British mobile phone number or email address, it would not have been able to keep it. But, according to the documents, after the rules changed, the US was allowed to keep those records to analyse them for the specific purpose of \"contact chaining\". That means looking at the connections between different phone numbers or email addresses. 'Questions raised' BBC security correspondent Gordon Corera said it was not quite the same as reading emails or listening to mobile phone calls, which still requires a warrant. But he said the documents raised questions about the motive behind the decision and to what extent the public had a right to know about such programmes. It is also claimed that a 2005 memo raised the possibility of the US carrying out surveillance on British nationals without British permission when it was considered to be in America's national interest. But it is not clear if that proposal was acted on. The Foreign Office said in a statement it did not comment on \"speculation around intelligence matters\". \"If you are a terrorist, a serious criminal, a proliferator, a foreign intelligence target or if your activities pose a genuine threat to the national or economic security of the United Kingdom, there is a possibility that your communications will be monitored,\" the statement added. \"If you are not, and if you are not in contact with one of those people, then you won't be. That is true, actually, whether you are British, if you are foreign and wherever you are in the world.\" Former NSA contractor Edward Snowden fled to Russia in June after leaking details to the media of extensive internet and phone surveillance by American intelligence.

'Tragic incident' Milford Haven coastguards reported a \"blast large enough to shake the windows\" with \"black smoke in the air\" shortly after 1820 BST. Ch Supt Thomas said: \"A police investigation is now under way, with the Health and Safety Executive, and early indications show that this was a tragic industrial incident. \"Police officers have secured the scene, and colleagues from Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue are working to make the site safe to enable a multi-agency investigation into the cause of the explosion to commence.\" Assistant Chief Fire Officer Chris Davies said there was no ongoing risk to health to members of the public as a result of the incident. \"We can confirm that any material released into the atmosphere as a result of the blast was immediately dispersed. The wind was blowing off shore, away from residential areas,\" he said. The Health and Safety Executive said it was too early speculate about the cause of the blast.

Wales Air Ambulance said a man had been airlifted to Morriston Hospital in Swansea with severe burns. Eyewitnesses reported hearing a \"massive bang\" and saw plumes of black smoke following the blast. Phil Horne was in his back garden in Milford Haven, on the opposite side of the waterway, at the time of the incident. \"I heard a large explosion, turned around and saw a large fireball disappearing into the sky,\" he said. \"It went about halfway up the chimney stack of the refinery.\" Liz Herbert, who also lives on the other side of the haven, said: \"I heard a massive bang and saw a huge plume of thick black smoke. \"It was really frightening.\" In a statement on Thursday evening Chevron said: \"Emergency services were called and responded immediately and remain on the scene. The fire has been extinguished. \"We are taking appropriate action to respond to the situation. We are still in the process of accounting for all personnel.\" Milford Haven Port Authority said it was aware of the incident but it was not affecting any ship movements on the waterway.

Biggs's part in the 1963 Great Train Robbery - in which a gang held up a mail train, making off with £2.6m - and his later escape from prison that sparked a global chase gave him a notoriety that has enthralled the press for nearly half a century. His life as a criminal on the run filled many newspaper column inches over the decades, as did his return to Britain in 2001 to face justice, his return to prison and then the controversial decision to release him on health grounds in 2009. At that time, his family argued he was severely ill with pneumonia and unlikely to recover. \"Ronnie Biggs is about to close this last chapter. He will now be retreating fully from public life,\" his son Michael said at the time. Yet, two years on, he was the focus of media attention again as he launched an updated version of his autobiography at a private members' club in Shoreditch, east London. After all this time, how does he think the British public sees him? Speaking with the help of his son Michael, because several strokes dictate that he can no longer speak, he denied that their view was of him as a criminal. \"I'm a loveable rogue,\" said Biggs by pointing to letters on a specially made poster. Earlier, journalists awaited Biggs's arrival in a bright, upstairs room at Shoreditch House, to a soundtrack of Elvis's Jailhouse Rock and Thin Lizzy's Jailbreak, and the babble of Cockney accents. When Biggs finally came in - nearly an hour late - his entrance was something akin to that of a rock star. Wearing black sunglasses and skull and crossbones braces with a sharp black suit and blue tie, Biggs lapped up the attention as photographers closed in on his wheelchair. \"Ronnie, this way, Ronnie,\" they shouted. \"In the middle Ronnie - gis' a wave Ron, thumbs up Ron.\" As a frail Biggs responded to the requests, a smile creeping across his face, his son joked: \"He'll be up tap dancing next.\" Opening with a statement read by his son, Biggs gave a tongue-in-cheek thank you to those attending from \"far and wide\", including Australia and Brazil, where he spent 13,068 days on the run. He added: \"I can't believe this is my first press conference in Britain, but it is, and I apologise for not holding one after I went over the wall from Wandsworth (referring to his escape from Wandsworth prison in a furniture van after just 15 months behind bars).\" He explained how he would have liked to have had his own voice for the event, but added: \"Despite my appearances my marbles are all there - or as many as I should have at my age and given my health.\" He was quizzed on the actions that led to his notoriety and asked whether he wished he could go back and do things differently. Did he regret the events of 8 August 1963? He answered \"Yes\" on his pad. If you could go back in time would you do it all again? A firm shake of the head. \"No.\" Did he feel uncomfortable in any way that the book was ultimately profiting from crime? Biggs's son responded: \"This is not profiting from crime this is profiting from his life. Yes he committed the crime but there's much more to my dad's life than the Great Train Robbery.\" However, his son acknowledged that without the robbery Biggs would never have had the sometimes glamorous and exciting life he had. Instead he would likely have continued as a builder in Redhill. Michael went on: \"I don't look up to my dad as the Great Train Robber or as a criminal, I look up to him as the family man he became.\" He said it was \"never my father's intention to become Ronnie Biggs\". Biggs had no way to support himself in Brazil so the press became his way to survive, he said. \"My dad was probably the Jordan of the 80s,\" quipped Michael, whose birth prevented his father's extradition from Brazil back to the UK. One name that cropped up time and time again was that of Jack Mills. He was the train driver caught up in the robbery. He was badly beaten by some of the gang and never recovered. He died in 1970 of leukaemia. Asked if any of the proceeds from the book could go to his family, Biggs's son responded: \"We haven't discussed that yet but it could be a possibility.\" His family said the book - named Odd Man Out: The Last Straw - was a chance for Biggs to answer the \"many misconceptions\" about the robbery. He has been working on the book since his release from jail in 2009. Michael Biggs believes his father has been wrongly blamed for the violent actions of others. In fact, the man who Biggs claims coshed Mr Mills has never been caught. The convicted gang members still refuse to give him up, and he remains one of three robbers never caught. Michael added: \"My father wants to set the record straight (with the book). This is his last press appearance. He's retiring from public life 100%.\" His son described the state of his father's health and how he developed chest infections every three or four weeks. He also has no control over his mouth and throat, he said. He said Biggs, who is originally from Lambeth, south London, had a final wish that his ashes be spread between Brazil and London. But why is it that the Great Train Robber still holds such fascination now, nearly half a century on from his crime? Daily Mail journalist David Jones, who has followed the former fugitive's story for years and met him in Rio in 2000, thinks he has the answer. \"He's the one who cocked a snook and pulled the wool over the authorities' eyes. Everybody likes to think they could do the same,\" he grins. \"They see him as a loveable rogue - and they're three-quarters right.\"",

The new bill, setting a number of rules for the World Cup, does not mention any restriction on the sale of alcohol. Correspondents say state governors may still ban beer sales during the event. Beer sales have been illegal at football matches in Brazil since 2003. The ban was introduced as part of measures to tackle violence among rival fans and hooliganism. Earlier this year Fifa's General Secretary, Jerome Valcke, made it clear that the right to sell beer must be enshrined in legislation on the World Cup in the Brazilian Congress. In a visit to inspect venues in the 12 Brazilian cities where matches are due to be played, he was adamant. \"Alcoholic drinks are part of the Fifa World Cup, so we're going to have them. Excuse me if I sound a bit arrogant but that's something we won't negotiate,\" he said. \"The fact that we have the right to sell beer has to be a part of the law.\" Brewer Budweiser is a big Fifa sponsor. Internal politics Health Minister Alexandre Padilha and other members of Congress called for the ban to be maintained. But the new law on the World Cup was approved last month by Congress and signed into law by President Rousseff without any mention of a ban on alcohol sales. Analysts have pointed out that the ban on the sale of alcoholic drinks is enshrined in legislation in some of the nine states where World Cup matches will be played. By failing to mention the sale of alcohol, the legislation leaves room for opposition state governors and mayors to keep their own ban. Opposition politicians in the Congress have reacted angrily to the final version of the bill, accusing the central government of playing politics with Fifa and passing on a potentially unpopular decision to them.",

She takes over from Gruffalo author Julia Donaldson, who has held the post since 2011. \"I've been a professional author for over 20 years, so I feel now is the time to give something back,\" Blackman said. She also called on teachers and parents to spend at least 10 minutes a day reading with children. The Laureate role, which has a bursary of £15,000 and is sponsored by Waterstones, is awarded every two years to an eminent writer or illustrator of children's books. Previous Children's Laureates include Anthony Browne, Michael Rosen, Michael Morpurgo, Jacqueline Wilson and Quentin Blake. Blackman told the BBC that one of her major projects was a website to host \"creative responses\" to books by young people who had grown up immersed in technology and social media. \"The first time I touched a computer was when I was 19 but it's part and parcel of their lives,\" she said. \"I would like to encourage them to express themselves using music, art, film or whatever and upload it to a website having been inspired by particular stories.\" Blackman started her working life as a computer programmer before her writing career took off. A former scriptwriter for TV drama Byker Grove, she is the author of more than 60 books for children and teenagers, including Hacker, Cloud-Busting, Thief! and Pig-Heart Boy. She was presented with her children's laureate medal at a ceremony at King's Place in central London. \"A love of books has opened so many doors for me. Stories have inspired me and taught me to aspire,\" Blackman said. \"I hope to instil in every child I meet, my love and enthusiasm for reading and stories. And, as I would never have become an author if it hadn't been for my local library as a child, I intend to continue Julia Donaldson's amazing, indefatigable work advocating for our nation's public library service.\" She urged teachers and parents to spend at least 10 minutes per day sharing a book with their pupils and children in a bid to get \"more children reading more\". She recalled how she used to enjoy teachers reading stories to her class at school. \"It became something we all really looked forward to. That was part of the reason I grew to love stories,\" she told the BBC. In her Noughts & Crosses series, Blackman explored issues of race and ethnic identity by depicting a world in which black people, or Crosses, are the ruling elite and white people, or Noughts, have minority status. \"Malorie Blackman's stories are gripping, daring and reach out to young people who might otherwise spend all their time on video games and the internet,\" said Channel 4 News presenter Krishnan Guru-Murthy, a member of the laureate selection committee. \"The panel are unanimous in believing she will be a brilliant and passionate Children's Laureate.\"",

Most recently, Mr Wang was in charge of Beijing's complex relationship with Taiwan. Those outside China will look to Yang Jiechi and Wang Yi to understand China's stance on a host of international issues. However, they might not receive clear answers. Inside the country, China's foreign ministry is just one of the groups influencing its international agenda, including its ever-expanding military and large state-owned companies that have significant investments overseas. Perhaps most importantly, those at the upper echelons of the Communist Party can overrule the desires of the foreign ministry. Like his predecessor, Dai Bingguo, Yang Jiechi holds a relatively low rank in the Communist Party, despite his spot near the top of the state hierarchy. \"He is not a member of the Politburo - so he does not have high political status in the Communist Party - and it is unclear if this will impact his effectiveness,\" explains David Shambaugh, professor of political science and international affairs at George Washington University in Washington, D.C. Yang Jiechi and Wang Yi must push to be heard when attending meetings of the powerful Central Foreign Affairs Leading Group, the elite committee in charge of China's international agenda. Headed by Xi Jinping, the group includes political heavyweights such as Premier Li Keqiang and the Minister of Defence, People's Liberation Army General Chang Wanquan. \"The rank of the Chinese foreign ministry cannot compete with that of the United States [State Department]. Final decisions will be made by Chairman Xi Jinping,\" explains Zhou Yongsheng, professor of Japan Studies at the China University of Foreign Affairs in Beijing. Weak or arrogant? An astute politician, Mr Xi also heeds his own personal agenda when dealing with foreign policy. Since taking over as the head of the Central Military Commission, some argue that Mr Xi is strategically boosting tensions in the South and East China Seas in order to rally the military around him while he solidifies his grip on power. In recent months, Mr Xi has made several comments urging the People's Liberation Army to prepare to \"win wars\". China's new leader is also eager to boost his base of popular support. Increasingly, Chinese citizens are eager to weigh in with their own ideas, particularly on the need for China to stand up to Washington and Tokyo. \"Chinese foreign policy has been criticised domestically because it looks like China has been very weak in dealing with hot issues,\" explains Su Hao, professor of foreign affairs studies at the China University of Foreign Affairs. \"But internationally, China has been accused of being arrogant. Terms like 'assertive' and 'aggressive' are used to describe China's foreign policy.\" Perhaps that is the toughest task faced by Yang Jiechi and Wang Yi: they must present China's foreign policy on the international stage, even if, at times, they played a limited role in making those decisions.",

Manchester Crown Court heard how Peake, 29, convinced Michael Wilson, 20, and two teenagers, aged 14 and 17, to rob Mr McMyler, which led to his death. Mark Ford QC, prosecuting, described them as \"opportunistic predators\". Peake first tried to persuade two youths outside The Raven pub to help him rob Mr McMyler and was said to have promised them £100, the court heard. He was rejected but when Jordan Short, Michael Wilson and the two teenagers entered the churchyard after arriving from Liverpool, Peake tried again, the court was told. Prosecuting, Mr Ford said the defendants did not intend to kill Mr McMyler but \"certainly did not hesitate to use violence as a group\". Mr McMyler later died in hospital. When arrested, Peake denied he was involved with the robbery and claimed he was a victim after the Liverpool group took £200 from him after the youngest defendant, then aged 13, hit him over the head with a bottle. Barristers for the teenage defendants told the jury their clients were \"in the wrong place at the wrong time\" and played no part in the robbery. The trial heard Mr McMyler had opted for a \"clean break\" by travelling to Thailand, but decided against it when he realised he needed to self-isolate for a fortnight because of the Covid-19 pandemic. He returned from London to his home on the afternoon of 6 August and still had his suitcase with him. Peake later returned to the scene as Mr McMyler lay unconscious \"with his face purple\" and made off with his phone and suitcase. The watch has never been recovered. Jurors convicted Peake, Wilson and their teenage co-defendants of manslaughter after finding they had deliberately helped or encouraged the attack. Mr Short will face trial at a later date. All four were also found guilty of conspiracy to rob. Peake, of James Street, Bolton, Wilson, of Northfield Close, Kirkby, and the two youths, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, will be sentenced on 11 June.

            "input": "By Barbara Plett UsherBBC News, Washington His main goal will be to try to convince them that a potential agreement curbing Iran's nuclear programme would not weaken their traditional alliance. But a last-minute decision by King Salman of Saudi Arabia not to attend the summit has highlighted the tensions between Washington and the Gulf nations over President Obama's Middle East policies. They've grown distrustful of the White House since Mr Obama's initially sympathetic response to the Arab uprisings, and are frustrated with his reluctance to get more involved in the Syria conflict. Now they're deeply wary about any nuclear detente with Iran amidst an increasingly sectarian contest for regional dominance between Sunni Arabs and Shia Tehran. They fear the lifting of sanctions would empower Iran to increase its support for armed Shia groups in Syria, Iraq, Lebanon and Yemen. So they're seeking stronger security guarantees. \"In the past we have survived with a gentleman's agreement,\" the UAE ambassador Yousef al Otaiba told a Washington forum recently. \"Now I think we need something in writing, something institutionalised.\" \"They want to hear that we're there and we care,\" said Robert Malley, Mr Obama's point man on the Middle East. The summit will indeed focus on strengthening and modernising America's long-time security relationship with the six powers of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) - Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar and Oman. But it won't result in the kind of formal defence pact they've requested - Congress would be unlikely to approve. Instead, say US officials, there will be a clear articulation of America's continued commitment to protect them from external threats, most probably in a non-binding statement. The US will also renew its push to integrate the disparate militaries of the Gulf in an anti-missile defence system to guard against Iranian attack. So far that's been held up by internal rivalries. And Washington wants to develop better strategies for countering terrorism, cooperating on cyber and maritime security, and conducting joint military exercises. GCC leaders are expected to pursue new arms sales, but won't get the sophisticated F-35 fighter jets some are seeking. Those have been promised to Israel, whose military superiority the Americans are committed to protect. US officials note they've already ensured access to some of the most advanced American armaments for Gulf Arabs, who have a collective annual defence budget of $135bn. Iran's is estimated at between $10bn and $17bn. There's a widespread perception that this agenda wasn't enough to entice most Arab leaders to the summit - four are sending deputies. Two of them because of illness - Oman and the UAE - but King Salman's is the most weighty absence. Saudi and US officials insist it's not a snub. They say the Saudi princes replacing the king are the ones who deal with the security issues on the table. And they stress the monarch wanted to oversee a humanitarian ceasefire in Yemen, where he's come under pressure to rein in an Arab air campaign against Iranian-backed Houthi tribesmen. The bombings have prompted Iran to accuse Riyadh of being the one to opt for confrontation. It is an \"undemocratic, tribal government\" that must not consider Yemen as its backyard, Ali Akbar Velayati, the foreign policy advisor to Iran's supreme leader, told the Financial Times. He dismissed the summit as a show of \"Iranophobia\" that wouldn't affect the nuclear negotiations or Arab attempts to undermine Iran. The Yemen and Syria conflicts will be on the agenda. Mr. Obama's guests will also want to probe more broadly his views about the US role in the regional power struggle. They're worried that he's aiming for a broader rapprochement with Iran at their expense. US officials insist the nuclear deal is an isolated exercise and wouldn't deter their response to any of Iran's bad behaviour. But President Obama has also talked about his hope that an accord would empower moderates in the Islamic Republic and usher in a new era in US-Iranian relations. He is wary about taking sides in a sectarian conflict. And he's offended Sunni leaders by suggesting in a recent interview that internal dissatisfaction may pose a bigger threat to authoritarian Arab states than an Iranian invasion. At best the summit may help improve coordination on shared goals, but it won't resolve what have become fundamental differences between old allies.",

The effect is to push people who are in financial difficulty even further into the red. A local government spokesperson said councils do their best to protect such people, but they need to collect tax. In many cases, council tax payers who miss a monthly payment are then required to pay the whole of the remaining cost for the year in one go. Citizens Advice wants that practice to be stopped. \"Of course it's right people should repay their council tax - but calling in bailiffs, adding on extra charges or forcing someone to pay the rest of the year's council tax bill in one lump sum can make the situation worse for everyone,\" said Gillian Guy, the chief executive of Citizens Advice. Rules In one case uncovered by the charity, someone who owed £27 to the council found their debt rose to £417 by the time that fees had been charged and bailiffs had been called in. The Local Government Association (LGA) said it agreed that use of bailiffs was a last resort. It said that before that happens, people should have been written to, and helped with alternative payment plans. \"Councils have a duty to their residents to collect taxes, so important services are not affected,\" said an LGA spokesperson. \"But we realise that times are tough, and councils do their best to protect those affected the most, whether through introducing hardship funds or taking a sympathetic and constructive approach to the way we collect unpaid tax.\" It said that it had worked with Citizens Advice on the rules for when bailiffs should, or should not, be used.",

Nicole says there has been a 30% increase in intake during this period, and she is often unable to take more children. Visibly affected by what she is telling me, she adds that many mothers are becoming increasingly desperate. \"I know people who have left their children in ditches, by the market, in the street, in the bush, anywhere,\" she explains. \"Last week there was a mother walking her child and looking for someone to give her away to. But she could not find anyone to take the child so she killed her, she killed that child.\" Almost 5,000 children are registered as having lost contact with their families - a list that has grown 60% since the earthquake. About a quarter of the children have now been reunited with parents or relatives, but most of the others will find themselves in orphanages. About half of these homes, unlike the one I visited, are not registered with local authorities. Unicef child protection specialist Christina Torsein says it is a very worrying situation, with reports of abuse in some homes. \"In addition to being unaccredited, there are poor standards, there are malnutrition issues, there are issues of child abuse and sexual violence. One needs to be quite frank about what the unfortunate reality is.\" Trafficking threat The plight of Haiti's children has got much worse since the earthquake. But it was also grim for many before the disaster, too. For decades, many children here have been given away to other families, usually ones they do not know, by parents who are too poor to feed and clothe them. Many of these children, known as restaveks, do not go to school, are made to do strenuous chores without pay and are often beaten and abused. Just before the earthquake it was estimated that there were 250,000 restavek children in Haiti. It is thought likely that this number will have grown significantly over the past year. Then there is the threat from child traffickers. Around 2,000 children each year are thought to fall victim to such people, who usually smuggle them abroad. Chaos following the earthquake will have made the job even easier, despite increased efforts by police and child protection charities. Haiti has long had a culture of violence, too, that has created its own share of orphans. Sitting quietly under an awning watching the other children play is 11-year-old Leslie Joseph. \"My mother and father were working on a farm when they came to kill them,\" he recalls. \"They dragged them away and stabbed them to death with machetes. I couldn't do anything. I was too small.\" Leslie was five when this happened right in front of him. He does not know who the killers were or why they did it. Now he will spend the rest of his childhood here with 40 or 50 other orphans. Baby boom Another factor fuelling the number of orphans is the growing number of children now being born here. According to a report by the UN Population Fund the country's birth rate has tripled since the earthquake. This might explain the name given to a maternity hospital I visited near the city's notorious Cite Soleil slum district. It has become known as the \"baby factory\". \"We have somewhere between 30 and 40 deliveries a day,\" says Medecins Sans Frontieres midwife Felipe Rojas Lopez. \"This makes around 1,200 a month. Every day we have full capacity. In my professional life I have never seen a hospital that works at this volume.\" It is not only the midwives and doctors who struggle to keep up with it all. Many mothers discharge themselves hours or even minutes after giving birth and walk away without their babies when staff are not in the room. To my left, a tiny baby is being cradled in the arms of MSF project coordinator, Tara Newell. \"He is three weeks old. He has been with us all that time,\" she tells me. \"He's perfectly healthy and is a baby who loves to be cuddled but his mother abandoned him here on the day that he was born. This happens quite often.\" Nobody knows for sure how many children have been left to live on Haiti's impoverished streets. Children's charities estimate that it could amount to 3,000 or more. Again, the earthquake has swelled their numbers. Some will have found shelter in one of the many large camps for the displaced, which are still home to about a million people. For those children it could well be a case of out of the frying pan into the fire. According to a report just published by Amnesty International, children as young as five are being raped in camps set up to rehouse earthquake victims, along with hundreds of women. Back at the orphanage, Nicole Dieudonne says she is grateful for the help her country has received from all over the world since the earthquake. But in the future, she insists, Haiti must put its faith in its children. \"There is hope if Haitians stand together, if they get the children from the streets and teach them how to work and how to respect others. But if they do not, Haiti will perish.\"",

The pilot did not have approval from board members, the 111 NHS helpline or commissioners. Up to 20,000 patients had their ambulances delayed. How call-handling was changed Secamb provides NHS 111 services across the region and responds to 999 calls. Some 111 calls were transferred to the 999 system to give Secamb more time for more urgent calls. The calls affected were in the second most serious category - Category A Red 2 - which covers conditions like strokes or fits but which are less critical than where people are non responsive. Under NHS rules, calls designated as life-threatening are supposed to receive an ambulance response within eight minutes. The trust allowed itself an extra 10 minutes to deal with some calls by \"re-triaging\" patients in the 999 system. Secamb said the process for finding a permanent replacement would start immediately and in the interim period, Geraint Davies would continue as acting chief executive. Its chairman, Tony Thorne, resigned as the report by Deloitte was released. The review said there was a strong suggestion of an \"intentional effort by members of the executive team to present their scheme in a positive light despite its governance failings and risks.\" And it said: \"The CEO made the ultimate decision to proceed with the pilot and played a critical leadership role throughout\". Patient safety Peter Kyle, MP for Hove and Portslade, paid tribute to the professionalism of ambulance staff \"from the frontline to the top\". He said he would continue to focus his attention \"on making sure Secamb implements the reforms to the way it is governed and managed to ensure patient safety into the future\". Katherine Murphy, chief executive of the Patients' Association, said: \"Any decision that downgrades urgent category ambulance calls in order to massage performance targets is deplorable. \"This scheme was dangerous... It is right that the leaders of Secamb are held responsible for their actions. \"The trust should apologise to all those affected and the NHS should ensure this never occurs again at any trust.\"",

It had been expected to be auctioned in Miami later but the auction house told the BBC the sale was halted. A new mural had appeared on the street wall where the image was removed. Slave Labour - the mural that was removed - appeared on the wall in Wood Green, north London, last May, shortly before the celebrations to mark the Queen's Diamond Jubilee. It disappeared from the side of the Poundland store last weekend and had been expected to fetch up to £450,000 at auction in Miami. Fine Art Auctions Miami (FAAM) confirmed to the BBC that the Banksy mural had been withdrawn from sale. However, a spokesman gave no reason for its withdrawal. \"Although there are no legal issues whatsoever regarding the sale of lots six and seven by Banksy, FAAM convinced its consignors to withdraw these lots from the auction and take back the power of authority of these works,\" he said. 'Affection' and 'disappointment' Earlier, Haringey Council said it had learned that the sale was stopped at the last minute. Haringey Council Leader Claire Kober said it was \"a true credit to the community\" that their campaigning seemed to have \"helped to stop the sale of this artwork from going ahead\". \"We will continue to explore all options to bring back Banksy to the community where it belongs,\" she said. It appeared that a starting bid of $400,000 (£262,450) had been made before the auction of the artwork was halted. The new mural that appeared on the north London wall depicts a woman in a nun's habit, but it is not known if it is by Banksy. BBC Oxford producer Andy Gordon was visiting relatives on Saturday when he snapped the newest addition to Whymark Avenue in Haringey. \"We thought we were just going along to see the gap in the wall and were surprised to see something else had appeared. \"There was obviously a lot of affection for it in Wood Green and a lot of people were very disappointed when their Banksy disappeared.\" He said the new mural had appeared in exactly the same spot as the Banksy artwork. Local councillor Alan Strickland said residents had been left \"really shocked and really astonished\" at the disappearance of the mural of the boy. \"Banksy gave that piece of art to our community, and people came from all over London to see it,\" he said. Banksy's work has been at the centre of a number of thefts over the years. In May 2010, two pieces were stolen from a gallery in London, after a man used a road sign to smash a glass window at the front of the building. A year later, a piece known as Sperm Alarm was ripped off the wall of a hotel in Central London, and appeared on eBay for £17,000. It was never recovered.",

The coffin is being flown from Texas to DC on board Air Force One - temporarily renamed Special Air Mission 41, in homage to the late president - and then back on Wednesday, with Sully accompanying the body throughout. The picture was tweeted by Mr Bush's spokesman, Jim McGrath, showing Sully next to Mr Bush's casket on Sunday along with the caption: \"Mission complete.\" Social media users thanked Sully for his services and commented on his and dogs' loyalty generally towards their owners. Sully is named after the airline pilot Chesley \"Sully\" Sullenberger, who landed a passenger jet on the Hudson River in 2009, saving all 155 passengers and crew on board. The two-year-old labrador was assigned earlier this year as a service dog to Mr Bush who used a wheelchair in the last years of his life. A highly trained dog, Sully can perform a number of commands, including opening doors and fetching items such as the phone when it rings. He will now work as a service dog, assisting with therapy for wounded soldiers. Sully has his own Instagram account; here he is shown \"assisting with voting\" as Mr Bush cast his ballot in last month's US presidential mid-term election.

The ads will run for a month online, at cinemas and during youth-focused TV shows like E4's Skins. In the adverts, a couple are seen in a bedroom as a party goes on downstairs. The boy wants to take things further. The girl says, 'I don't want to' but he carries on anyway. The mood changes and a double of the boy appears, watching in horror from behind an invisible barrier. \"He's got his mind on one thing,\" says actor Sam Gittins, 18. \"He's not thinking about her feelings, or her consent, or anything like that.\" Naked pictures Eighteen-year-old Issy Brazier-Jones, who plays the girl, adds: \"Girls, teenagers, women - they're either scared, or they don't even know where the line is. Where is it crossed?\" According to official figures, a third of teenage girls and about one in six boys says they've experienced sexual violence from a partner. About a fifth of 16-to 20-year-olds also thought it was probably acceptable for a boy to have sex with a girl if he had spent time and money on her. Newsbeat watched the advert for the first time with 19-year-old Tasnim, which is not her real name. When she was 14 she got into a relationship with someone who would regularly beat her to make her have sex with him. \"They don't listen,\" she says. \"Then they say, 'Oh, I never heard you say no. You never said no. You were OK with it.'\" She first had sex with her boyfriend because she was scared he would leave her if she didn't. He also said he would spread naked pictures of her if she followed through with a police complaint. \"He used to beat me and rape me when I was unconscious,\" she says. \"What if he did take pictures of me?\" She eventually spoke to professionals, who made her realise for the first time that she was being repeatedly raped. Her story is too graphic to go into in more detail but it is what this new advert is intended to tackle. Equalities Minister Lynne Featherstone said it \"aims to dispel the myths that can lead to acceptance of rape in relationships\". Victims' workers say it is a start but say too many men accused of rape go free and that abuse services need more funding. Tasnim adds: \"They should go into schools, to teach girls about rape. \"It's OK to be a virgin. It's OK to not have sex with your boyfriend.\"",

A Department for Education spokesman said schools should not \"promote any sexual orientation\". In Wales, the government says it will investigate the claims as a \"matter of urgency.\" But there were also challenges over some of the schools included in this list, with Newham council saying that the criticism of one of its local schools was \"woefully unacceptable and inaccurate\". The British Humanist Association (BHA) says it has identified 19 schools which it claims appear to have sex education policies which \"replicate\" the language of Section 28, introduced in the late 1980s and repealed in 2003. It says there are a further 22 schools which use language which it describes as \"unhelpfully vague\". Policy withdrawn This former legislation, opposed by gay rights campaigners, said that councils \"shall not intentionally promote homosexuality or publish material with the intention of promoting homosexuality\". \"It is simply unacceptable that over a decade after the repeal of the pernicious Section 28 that these schools continue to enforce similar policies, while others have statements which are overly vague on this matter,\" said the BHA's Pavan Dhaliwal. \"All of the schools identified must urgently review their sex and relationships education policies to ensure that all pupils, whatever their sexual orientation or gender identity, are treated with equal respect and understanding and that homophobic and transphobic bullying is stamped out.\" Among the schools identified was Colston's Girls' School in Bristol, which has now said it will withdraw the policy that the governing body \"will not permit the promotion of homosexuality\". \"The policy was immediately withdrawn and a replacement is currently being prepared which will be published on the school website in due course,\" said a spokeswoman for the school. She said the school was committed to \"an environment that promotes equality and respects and celebrates the diversity of all members of the school community\". The Crest academy group in north London was criticised for a policy that stated:\"Academies and the Governing Body will not permit the promotion of homosexuality.\" A spokeswoman for the group said that this had been an \"oversight\" that did not reflect the ethos of the academies and that policies would be updated by the new term. Swindon Academy has now amended a policy which had stated: \"Staff have a responsibility to engage in objective discussions on homosexuality but not to promote it.\" A statement from United Learning, which is the academy's sponsor, said: \"We abhor discrimination of any kind.\" One of two schools in Wales on this list, Tasker Milward in Pembrokeshire, apologised for having \"an old policy\" referring to the defunct Section 28 regulations on its website. There are also disputed accusations against schools based on claims that the language of policies might be misinterpreted. Also included in the BHA's list of \"high concern\" schools is Hallsville primary school in Newham, east London, which it criticises for using the phrase: \"There should be no direct promotion of sexual orientation.\" A spokesman for the BHA said this could be misinterpreted as similar in language to Section 28, rather than a neutral position. The primary school's sex education policy also specifies that \"Homophobia should be challenged wherever and whenever it arises in schools.\" A spokeswoman for Newham council said it was \"woefully unacceptable and inaccurate\" to include Hallsville in this list. \"Hallsville's sex education policy makes it clear that there should be no direct promotion of sexual orientation. This is in line with DfE guidance that school policies must not discriminate unfairly on grounds of sexual orientation or promote any sexual orientation.\" A spokeswoman for the Department for Education said it would be \"looking into these schools\". \"What these schools have done by singling out homosexuality is unacceptable. \"All schools can draw up their own sex education policy but they must ensure they do not discriminate unfairly on grounds of sexual orientation. \"Our sex and relationship education guidance makes it clear that schools should not promote any sexual orientation.\"",

One tax expert described the move as \"unprecedented\". HM Revenue and Customs reacted by saying that corporation tax \"is not a voluntary tax\". \"The public expects businesses to pay their fair share,\" the tax authorities added, \"and HMRC will challenge, through the courts if necessary, any structures or tax payments that do not comply with the UK tax law.\" But Amazon and Google, also under fire for paying little UK tax, held firm. The extra tax could amount to £20m over the next two years, Mr Engskov said. Bill Dodwell, head of tax policy at the accountants Deloitte, told the BBC that he suspected the figure was a \"sensible number taking account of the scale of the business and their history of past losses\". \"This is an unprecedented move for a company to announce this sort of change,\" he said. 'Joke' Starbucks' announcement comes after much public anger over the revelation of how little corporation tax it pays in the UK, with some people saying they would boycott its outlets. The company has paid just £8.6m in corporation tax in its 14 years of trading in the UK, and nothing in the last three years, despite UK sales of nearly £400m in 2011. Starbucks has reported a taxable profit only once in its 15 years of operating in the UK, often reporting losses. \"It is extraordinary,\" Stephen Williams, Treasury spokesman for the Liberal Democrats, told the BBC. \"People have been joking that some of these multinationals seem to think that paying tax is voluntary. Well Starbucks have just confirmed the joke really. \"Tax is something that is a legal obligation that you should pay according to the tax rules of a particular country. It's not a charitable donation in order to gain sort of brand value. But that seems to be what Starbucks are doing.\" Conservative MP Richard Bacon, who is a member of the Public Accounts Committee, expressed surprise at the move. \"They have recognised the public outrage at the fact that a company as large as Starbucks would... not be paying any corporation tax. \"They have realised that it is a PR problem and it is a PR response. It is nice for the exchequer to have a bit more money, but it is not a long-term solution to the problem that we face.\" Starbucks admitted that the degree of hostility and emotion surrounding the tax issue had \"taken us a bit by surprise\" and that the move was an attempt to rebuild trust with its customers. \"Since we started doing business here, we have always organised our tax affairs according to the letter of the law,\" said Mr Engskov. \"[But] with the backdrop of these difficult times, in the area of tax, our customers clearly expect us to do more,\" he said. Mr Engskov added that the company had found it difficult to make profits in the UK, which has \"the most competitive espresso market in the world\", despite \"two million customers visiting us each week in hundreds of stores across the UK\". The extra tax payments will be funded by not claiming \"tax deductions for royalties or payments related to our intercompany charges\", Mr Engskov said. Mr Dodwell said he thought the coffee chain would not claim some of the deductions they may otherwise have been allowed to claim. \"We don't know the details - that will be between the company and HM Revenue and Customs,\" he said. More protests UK Uncut, a group that protests against corporate tax avoidance in the UK, said that Starbucks' announcement was not enough and that 40 \"actions\" would take place in Starbucks stores up and down the country. \"There's no money yet, and hollow promises on press releases don't fund women's refuges or child benefits,\" the group said. \"Offering to pay some tax if and when it suits you doesn't stop you being a tax dodger. Today's announcement is just a desperate attempt to deflect public pressure. \"The £10m that Starbucks has estimated it may end up paying is £5m less than that paid by their nearest competitor Costa coffee.\" Starbucks has 760 outlets across the UK and says it contributes \"£300m to the UK economy\" each year. Rival Costa has 1,479 coffee shops. In a statement, Amazon said: \"Amazon pays all applicable taxes in every jurisdiction that it operates within.\" And Google said: \"We comply with all the tax rules in the UK. We make a substantial contribution to the UK economy through local, payroll and corporate taxes.\" Mr Bacon said that Starbucks' move will likely have an effect on its fellow US giants. \"I suspect what companies do is when they see their name in the public lights and they don't like it and then they take action,\" the MP said. \"I don't think there will be many people who stop using Google... and probably for their Christmas shopping lots of people will still use Amazon. \"But the problem for Starbucks is there is a coffee shop on every High Street.\" Companies pay corporation tax on any profit they make in the UK, not their revenue or takings. Hence, allegations that multinationals move money to other countries to reduce how much tax they pay in the UK. John Whiting, director at the Chartered Institute of Taxation, told the BBC that Starbucks was trying to protect its image. \"I think what it demonstrates is that companies big or small do care about their reputation,\" he said. \"I mean, you can say Starbucks depends on its coffee....but a real key thing they depend on, is what people think about them, the trust. Do they like the image they portray?\"",

            "input": "By Bethan LewisBBC Wales education and family correspondent This summer's results are being determined by teachers after exams were cancelled but many schools have scheduled assessments to collect evidence for grades. Head teachers and pupils have spoken of the pressures of the system which sees grades decided by schools and colleges. Qualifications Wales said it offered \"flexibility\" and fairness. At the end of April, a positive Covid case meant sixth formers at Ysgol Gyfun Gymraeg Bro Edern in Cardiff were sent home in the middle of important tests. Most pupils were able to return to school after close contacts were identified and only 18 had to isolate. Head teacher Iwan Pritchard said it had an impact on assessments, though the school had put arrangements in place to catch up with any missed work. \"We've got a system in place whereby the last week of this half-term, we've set aside for pupils to catch up with their assessments. \"We also use a lot of live learning so any pupil who is absent will be able to access their lessons online. \"But it does mean that departments can't really moderate and standardise their assessments correctly until every pupil has completed those assessments. \"So it will affect the pupils, it will affect the teachers and it will affect the timetable for the work that leaders in schools will have to put in before we produce the results in early June.\" Concerns have been voiced about the system of centre-determined grades, with some head teachers and unions claiming it creates undue pressure to provide evidence to back up the grades schools and colleges give pupils. In practice it has meant pupils in many schools have been doing a series of assessments since the Easter holidays. Schools will release provisional results in June, and more details of how a controversial appeals system will work are expected in coming days. 'My son's suffered very badly' One Flintshire mother, who did not want to be named, said the grading process had caused \"a lot of stress\" for her daughter studying A-levels and son doing GCSEs. Her son had to isolate after his classmate tested positive for Covid. \"He was in for seven days, started his assessments then got sent home,\" she said. \"He doesn't know whether he's coming or going. My son is basically taking exams - OK they are old exam papers, but they are exam standards that were expected two years ago. \"I can't see how that could be fair, when they haven't had the support children were getting then. \"My son's suffered very badly. Every time he was settling into learning at school he was sent home and then he would be back in school - he's spent a year constantly trying to settle into something new. \"It's affected his mental health and his ability to learn.\" There are far fewer Covid cases being reported by schools and colleges, reflecting the very low levels of the virus in the community, though isolated cases can lead to larger groups having to isolate. Secondary age pupils have been taking rapid Covid tests in order to try to identify more cases when people are not showing symptoms. The latest Public Health Wales data, published on 12 May, recorded 152 positive cases across all schools and colleges in the previous 21 days - significantly lower than the peak in December. Chairman of Qualifications Wales, David Jones, said everyone was operating in \"very challenging\" circumstances, including some young people still having to isolate. \"I think the most important thing that's built into the approach of this summer is flexibility,\" he said. \"That flexibility is there in order to try and at least minimise the burden for teachers and lecturers and also to focus on the well-being of learners. \"I'm confident that the approach we've taken this year, which involved a huge amount of collaboration right across the system, is fair and it's going to put us in a good position to make sure that we give young people every opportunity to move on to the next stage. \"But saying that, I don't underestimate how difficult it is, how difficult the next four or five months are going to be.\" In January, 17-year-old Cai Parry campaigned for formal assessments to be scrapped. That system - which originally replaced exams - was also ditched as schools remained closed at the start of the year, but he said pupils found themselves doing different types of tests, some not dissimilar to exams. \"At my college we've been doing all internal assessments - some of them we would be able to look at notes - some of them we weren't,\" he said. \"Some times we've had coursework-type elements to it, but I understand that there have been a lot of varying ways of assessment depending on which college or school.\" Mr Pritchard said, overall, pupils' well-being had suffered, despite everyone's best efforts. \"The stress that the whole situation has created with some pupils will have an effect on them for months and years to come,\" he said. \"That's something that we as schools and as the education system really need to acknowledge and to get to grips with - and to put things in place where we address some of those wellbeing issues that pupils will be showing for many, many months to come.\"",

It talks about the \"recent revelations\" that carmakers misled regulators or exploited loopholes in the regulations on a \"substantial scale\". Basically, the rules allow manufacturers to downgrade or switch off emissions cleaning systems at certain times to protect the engine. Testing figures suggest some are doing it when the outside temperature falls below about 17C, which is most of the year in Britain. They justify it by saying cold weather can damage components, but the suspicion is it gives them more miles to the gallon. It means the car is potentially more polluting than it needs to be, and we're talking millions of vehicles here. \"There is a real danger that VW will be able to get away with cheating emissions tests in Europe if regulators do not act.\" The German giant will offer to repair or buy back the affected diesel vehicles in the US and pay owners between $5,000 and $10,000 in compensation. But in the UK, owners affected have only been offered the option of a repair. The select committee called on regulators to ensure owners were not left out of pocket by VW's technical solution, which it said was developed as cheaply as possible. 'Unacceptable actions' Ms Ellman said: \"Vehicle owners have been refused goodwill payments. That is despite VW inflicting a great deal of uncertainty on its own customers, along with the prospect of declining residual values and the inconvenience of having to undergo repairs.\" A Department for Transport (DfT) spokesman said it had taken VW's \"unacceptable actions extremely seriously\", adding: \"We continue to push VW to ensure they take action.\" Volkswagen said it had contacted all 200,000 UK owners affected by the issue and advised them to take their cars to their closest dealer. \"Close to 50,000 vehicles in the UK have now received the technical measure, a number which will continue to increase as further vehicles' technical measures are developed, rigorously tested and then approved by the relevant transport authorities,\" a VW spokesman said. The MPs also said that the DfT failed to seek stricter emissions limits in new tests that will include real-world driving. \"We are concerned that manufacturers have far too great a say over how type approval reforms are implemented,\" Ms Ellman added. The DfT spokesman said the Real Driving Emissions test being introduced next year was \"robust and will make a real difference\". VW admitted last September that 482,000 of its diesel vehicles in the US were fitted with defeat device software to switch engines to a cleaner mode while they were being tested. It said that almost 1.2 million vehicles in the UK were affected, but disputed whether the software constituted a defeat device in the European Union. In May the company more than doubled its provisions for the diesel emissions scandal to €16.2bn (£12.6bn).",

            "input": "By Carl YappBBC Wales News In 1943, Llanwrtyd Wells in Powys took in 120 child refugees from the former Czechoslovakia. They were Jewish refugees who had been forced to flee their homeland because of Nazi persecution. About 10,000, mainly Jewish, children from Czechoslovakia, Germany and Austria arrived in the UK as part of the scheme known as Kindertransport. On 21 November, it will be 80 years since the UK government agreed to allow the children to seek sanctuary in the UK. Lady Milena Grenfell-Baines was nine when she arrived in the UK in the summer of 1939. She was on one of the trains organised by Sir Nicholas Winton to help children escape Nazi-occupied Czechoslovakia. Lady Grenfell-Baines later became a pupil at the Czechoslovak Secondary School in Llanwrtyd Wells after the Czech government in exile rented a large home, which had once been part of a family farm estate. Recalling the day she left her family behind, she said: \"We sat in this compartment and as we were leaving we held hands and we said: 'We're not going to cry.' \"Parents tried to keep very cheerful waving us goodbye.\" Many children never saw their families again, but Lady Grenfell-Baines's father had already made it to safety in the UK and, in 1940, her mother arrived in the UK via Norway. In 1943, Lady Grenfell-Baines was sent to school in Llanwrtyd Wells. \"That was absolutely wonderful. We were like a family there,\" she said. \"This troop of foreigners arrived and so to introduce ourselves we decided to give them a concert and we sang lots of Czech and Slovak songs, but we ended up singing Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau, which is the Land of My Fathers in Welsh, and they adopted us.\" The close links between the former pupils and Llanwrtyd Wells continue to this day. As well as still visiting the town and their old school, the former Czech refugees donated a piece of gold which has formed part of the mayor's chain of office, while Llanwrtyd is twinned with Cesky Krumlov, a town in the Czech Republic. Llanwrtyd councillor Peter James, who gives talks on the history of the former Czech school and its pupils, said despite being uprooted from their homes and their families, the children went on to be successful in later life. \"They come back and they're so humble. But they lost their family and their homeland and they come back to Llanwrtyd and they're always laughing and joking,\" he said. Some of the former refugees have told Mr James that when they return, they are \"coming home\". Many of those who studied in Llanwrtyd Wells have the late Sir Nicholas Winton to thank for saving their lives. He organised the rescue of 669 children from Nazi-occupied Czechoslovakia. In latter years, after his heroics came to public attention, he visited Llanwrtyd Wells during one of the old school reunions. Sir Nicholas's daughter Barbara, who is also his biographer, said many of the Kindertransport paid a high price for their freedom. \"A bit of research was done recently by the Association of Jewish Refugees, who wrote to many thousands of kinder and got back a huge response of over 1,000 people,\" she said. \"From that, they've determined that over 50% never saw either of their parents again. Most of them lost nearly their entire families.\"",

Its latest research shows the vitamin calms an over-active part of the immune system in asthma. However, treating patients with vitamin D has not yet been tested. People with asthma can find it hard to breathe when their airways become inflamed, swollen and narrowed. Most people are treated with steroids, but the drugs do not work for all. Sunshine \"We know people with high levels of vitamin D are better able to control their asthma - that connection is quite striking,\" said researcher Prof Catherine Hawrylowicz. Her group investigated the impact of the vitamin on a chemical in the body, interleukin-17. It is a vital part of the immune system and helps to fight off infections. However, it can cause problems when levels get too high and has been strongly implicated in asthma. In this study, published in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, vitamin D was able to lower levels of interleukin-17 when it was added to blood samples taken from 28 patients. The team is now conducting clinical trials to see if giving the sunshine vitamin to patients could ease their symptoms. They are looking at patients who do not respond to steroids as they produce seven times more interleukin-17 than other patients. Prof Catherine Hawrylowicz told the BBC: \"We think that treating people with vitamin D could make steroid-resistant patients respond to steroids or let those who can control their asthma take less steroids.\" She said a culture of covering up in the sun and using sun cream may have increased asthma rates, but \"it is a careful message because too much sun is bad for you\". Malayka Rahman, from the charity Asthma UK, said: \"For the majority of people with asthma, current available medicines are an effective way of managing the condition but we know that they don't work for everyone, which is why research into new treatments is vital. \"We also know that many people with asthma have concerns about the side effects of their medicines so if vitamin D is shown to reduce the amount of medicines required, this would have an enormous impact on people's quality of life. \"We look forward to the results of the clinical trial.\"",

The centres offer support to patients at A&E departments who may not require medical treatment or a bed. They employ both volunteers and paid staff, many of whom have experienced mental health issues themselves. Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board said the service allowed people to talk about mental health issues away from wards. It hopes extending the scheme to GP surgeries and community hubs will allow people to get support close to home if they do not need medical treatment. Shannon Doherty, 23, was helped by I Can staff after being taken to Wrexham Maelor Hospital in March, and now works as a paid supervisor there. She said: \"I was introduced to the I Can team and I was taken away from the hospital ward environment. \"It was just a chance to be real and open rather than looked down on and judged. \"It's nice that the staff and volunteers have lived experience because they see it first hand and know what it's like. \"From my experience of volunteering at the I Can centre, a lot of the clients we support don't have a sense of community or belonging any more, and I think that's quite common. \"It's been really life changing and it feels amazing to be appreciated for the lived experience I have. It's given me that drive to strive for better, to work my way up, and to make sure that others don't go through what I went through.\" Lesley Singleton from the health board said: \"I think we're encouraging people to talk about their mental health much more. \"What we're seeing then, is more people presenting with those problems and inevitably they're going to turn up at night time, to A&E, where the lights are on, to get some help. \"That doesn't mean that we're seeing an increase in diagnosable mental illness, but it's usually a crisis that affects their emotional health and I Can can provide that support.\" The scheme will now be rolled out in GP surgeries and community centres over the coming months. Helen Alefounder, of the Rysseldene Surgery in Colwyn Bay, Conwy, said: \"I think as it grows and as we educate patients and staff as to the other services that are available, this is absolutely going to take off, and it's completely the right way forward. \"Everything lands in the medical sector, when it really doesn't need to. She added: \"If we can put these services in to support the front door of primary care, to support the front door of A&E systems, then we can direct these patients to where they really need to be to get the support and treatment that they require.\"",

            "input": "By Insaf AbbasBBC News The first page created, \"Illini White Student Union\", was launched in response to a black student solidarity rally on 18 November, according to the University of Illinois' student paper. The page described itself as \"a new page for white students of University of Illinois\" committed to working \"against the terrorism (students) have been facing from Black Lives Matters activists on campus\". It reportedly asked students to send in photos of \"anti-whites\" who had taken part in the rally and was quickly removed by Facebook. But the page started a trend, with at least 30 White Student Union pages appearing on Facebook. Many originated from a post the Daily Stormer, a white supremacist site \"attempting to preserve Western Civilization\". The post called on readers to make pages for \"various universities\" in retaliation for the removal of the University of Illinois' page - even if they are not students. Others are linked to a similar post on 4Chan, a bulletin-board site allowing users to comment anonymously. The post encouraged people to create pages \"at the most leftist colleges and universities in the western world\" and has since been removed. Fake photos The University of Missouri's White Student Union page - which has now been removed - claimed the group had met on campus to raise money for Generation Identitaire, the youth wing of a French nativist movement, and Students for Western Civilization, a group that wants to \"organize for and advance the interests of Western peoples\". But the photo it used - showing three girls dressed in pink shirts - was of three sorority members from a different university, raising money at a suicide-awareness bake sale. Jaynie Coffman, the sorority's PR administrator, was sent a link to the photo. \"I couldn't believe that this organisation used our picture for something so horrible. They edited our sorority letters off their shirts,\" she said. \"Our sorority is out there and associated with this group. If we weren't contacted about our image being used, it could have been on the internet for thousands of people to see without any explanation.\" New York University administrators also condemned a White Student Union page created using the school's name, saying it had used the NYU logo \"illegally and without permission\". Maria Josefina Saldana-Portillo, a professor at the university's School of Social and Cultural Analysis, called the page \"a parody\" aiming to \"belittle the language of black student movements\". 'Anti-white abuse' But while most of the pages are run by internet \"trolls\", some are managed by students looking to end \"anti-white beliefs\" on their campuses. The BBC spoke to a number of them. While they asked to remain anonymous, they agreed to video chat and make contact using their university email addresses. One student, known only as Ajay, runs the Iowa State White Student Union Facebook page. He says he started the page after experiencing racial discrimination on campus. \"When on campus I will attend rallies of different ethnic support groups to hear their message. A lot of time they tell me to leave because I'm just there to make fun of them, or tell me I will not understand because I have not experienced racism,\" he said. The group held a meeting on campus, he added, and plans to contact the university's president to gain official recognition. While Harvard University's page has received more of a backlash, its admin insists its goals are the same. Eric - not his real name - studies biology at the university. He created the page with two friends and hopes it will grow into an official union. The group has met three times and consists of three members, \"all white Europeans - although we have also coordinated with a Korean friend of mine,\" he says. The group discussed how to gain official recognition on campus and tried to identify sympathetic professors. Many ethnic minority students say the pages have made them feel unsafe on campus. Rowa Mohamed, a student living in Canada, says a page using her university's name shared her information after she complained to officials. \"I feel unsafe walking alone on campus and I am always with others. Because they maintain their anonymity while harassing me, I never know who it could be,\" she said. \"I haven't been comfortable attending classes. It's really increased my anxiety and I've had to rely heavily on my friends of colour for comfort and protection on campus.\" The page - which calls itself \"Western White Student Union\" - is thought to be one of the first in Canada. Others have also been reported in Australia. Joanna Thompson, a lecturer at the University of Illinois' Department of Criminology, Law and Justice, says media depictions of black people as \"violent animals\" play a part in the creation of white student unions. \"Young people see so much these days, not just on the news but through social media,\" she said. \"If they are being bombarded by negative images of blacks, the fear could lead them to need a space where they feel safe and where they can regain that top spot on the racial hierarchy.\"",

            "input": "Ambassador Bill Taylor testified before an impeachment inquiry that he was told Mr Trump wanted Ukraine to probe ex-Vice-President Joe Biden's dealings. Mr Taylor said relations with Ukraine had been \"fundamentally undermined\". President Trump insists there has been no such deal, or exchange of favours, in Ukraine policy. Responding to the latest testimony in Congress, White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham said in a statement: \"President Trump has done nothing wrong - this is a co-ordinated smear campaign from far-left lawmakers and radical unelected bureaucrats waging war on the Constitution\". One Democrat called Mr Taylor's testimony \"the most damning testimony I've heard\". Mr Taylor, a career diplomat who has been the US envoy to Ukraine since June, is the latest witness to testify before lawmakers in the Democratic-led inquiry into suspected abuse of power by President Trump. A transcript of a call Mr Trump made to Ukraine's new President Volodymyr Zelensky on 25 July shows he urged him to investigate discredited corruption allegations against Mr Biden and his son, Hunter. While Mr Biden had a key role in US policy towards Ukraine as vice-president, Hunter Biden joined the board of Ukrainian gas company Burisma. The company had been investigated by former Ukrainian prosecutor general Viktor Shokin. What did Taylor say? Mr Taylor told lawmakers that the president had made it clear that he wanted a publicly announced inquiry into the Bidens and alleged Ukrainian interference in the 2016 US election. \"Our relationship with Ukraine was being fundamentally undermined by an irregular, informal channel of US, policy-making and by the withholding of vital security assistance for domestic political reasons,\" Mr Taylor said in opening remarks carried by US media. The \"informal\" channel included US envoy to Ukraine Kurt Volker, Ambassador to the EU Gordon Sondland, Energy Secretary Rick Perry and Mr Trump's personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani. By mid-July, Mr Taylor said, it was apparent the meeting Mr Zelensky wanted with Mr Trump \"was conditioned on the investigation of Burisma and alleged Ukrainian interference in the 2016 US elections\". \"It was also clear that this condition was driven by the irregular policy channel I had come to understand was guided by Mr Giuliani.\" Mr Taylor also noted that he heard a White House budget and management staffer say she was ordered not to release aid to Ukraine and realised \"one of the key pillars of our strong support for Ukraine was threatened\". \"I said on September 9 in a message to Ambassador Gordon Sondland that withholding security assistance in exchange for help with a domestic political campaign in the United States would be 'crazy',\" Mr Taylor said. \"I believed that then, and I still believe that.\" Mr Taylor's remarks appear to contradict Mr Sondland's earlier statement before lawmakers, where he said he had had \"no discussions\" with state department or White House officials regarding the investigating the Bidens. They call that a 'quid pro quo' Text messages showed Bill Taylor had issues with the way the White House was conducting its foreign policy toward Ukraine. On Tuesday, he told Congress why - in damning detail. Much of Mr Taylor's opening statement corroborates other reported accounts of White House efforts to get Ukraine to open investigations that could be damaging to Democrats, and Vice-President Joe Biden in particular. The acting ambassador to Ukraine fleshed out the picture, however, and added new perspective. In one particular passage, Mr Taylor relates a conversation he had with Gordon Sondland - one of the co-ordinators of what he said was an \"irregular, informal channel of US policymaking\". Mr Sondland, he said, told him \"everything\" - including military aid and a White House visit - was dependent on the Ukrainian president making a public statement that he would order these investigations. In Latin they call that a \"quid pro quo\". The president's defenders will try to undermine Mr Taylor's credibility, although the career diplomat makes for a compelling witness. They may eventually assert that even if Mr Taylor's claims are true, it's still within the president's foreign policy powers. That will, of course, be up to members of the House - and, perhaps, senators in an impeachment trial - to decide. Who is Bill Taylor? William B Taylor Jr, 72, initially served as US ambassador to Ukraine from 2006 to 2009, picked by President George W Bush. The post he described as \"special\" was just one job within decades of service to government. He has overseen aid and reconstruction programmes in the Middle East, Afghanistan and Eastern Europe. When Secretary of State Mike Pompeo asked him to go to Ukraine, Mr Taylor's wife was among those telling him to turn it down. But his close links to the country saw him accept. Seen as a serial note-taker, Mr Taylor is highly regarded at the state department and among co-workers. His testimony would be hard to dismiss as inaccurate. Ex-Bush aide Nicholas Burns called him a \"person of integrity\" and \"a true patriot\". Mr Taylor also has a notable military background, a West Point graduate whose service record includes a period with the famous \"Screaming Eagles\" 101st Airborne Division in Vietnam. What is the impeachment inquiry about? Three committees in the Democratic-controlled House of Representatives are investigating allegations of wrongdoing by the president. Democrats accuse him of illegally pressuring Ukraine to dig up dirt on a political rival. But there is a fierce debate about whether Mr Trump committed an impeachable offence - he himself says he has done nothing wrong. If the House finds sufficient evidence, articles of impeachment will be put to a vote. If they are approved, proceedings will move to trial in the Senate, which is controlled by Mr Trump's Republicans. What's the reaction? Democratic congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz described Mr Taylor's appearance as \"the most damning testimony I've heard\". \"He drew a very specific direct line from President Trump to the withholding of foreign aid and the refusal of a [presidential] meeting.\" Fellow Democrats echoed this idea and praise Mr Taylor's \"meticulous\" note taking. Congressman Tom Malinowski said it was the \"most thorough\" account that filled in \"details that some other witnesses, somehow, forgot\". But former acting US Attorney General Matthew Whitaker said on Fox News: \"Abuse of power is not a crime. \"Let's fundamentally boil it down, the constitution is very clear that this has to be some pretty egregious behaviour.\" Republican congressman Mark Meadows, a staunch Trump ally, told reporters he did not hear \"anything that has advanced the quid pro quo or the promise of anything with foreign aid\".",

This is especially the case when the man is the financial cornerstone in his family. The family expects him to continue to support them exactly as he used to before his new status as husband and, therefore, head of his own nuclear family. Brothers and sisters If he fails to live up to their expectations they turn on his wife - and accuse her of trying to turn their son against his brothers and sisters. On her part, his wife reminds him constantly of his new responsibilities in the home and cautions that a line should be drawn somewhere between his family loyalty and the needs of his own home. It takes wisdom and diplomacy for the man to navigate his way through these conflicting demands. Otherwise he risks either destabilising his home or incurring the anger of his siblings and larger family. Neither augurs well for his, and his children's, long-term happiness and well-being. In the apartheid years, South Africa was the rallying point of almost all black African nations. They all saw it as their political and moral duty to join in the battle for the liberation of their oppressed brothers and sisters. At the time when the entire West was, at best, indifferent to the struggle, African nations flexed their diplomatic muscles at every international forum against the operators of white racial supremacy and their supporters. Some of them went as far as giving both economic and military support to South Africa's freedom fighters, especially the African National Congress (ANC). At the forefront of this effort were the countries of east and southern Africa - which became known as the Frontline States. Nigeria - despite being far away in the west - also contributed financially and diplomatically - and so was embraced as an honorary Frontline State. The anti-apartheid struggle created a unique relationship between South Africans and virtually all other Africans. They became brothers and sisters in the real sense. It was not surprising when after the victory over apartheid, there was an influx of Africans into the new South Africa. But trouble began. The jobs available could not go round. South Africans blamed immigrants for taking their jobs and they became hostile. Their brothers from Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Nigeria and other African nations became targets of insults, physical attacks, police harassment and mass deportations. Yellow fever row The climax for Nigeria was the refused entry on 2 March of a planeload of Nigerians. South Africa's immigration officials said their yellow fever certificates were fake - but they did not produce any evidence for their conclusion. Nigeria responded, pronto. South Africans were turned away at Lagos airport - those working in Nigeria suddenly faced a lot of questions over their immigration papers. Passion was so inflamed that some Nigerians even urged their government to start demanding certificates from travellers from South Africa to show they were clear of HIV/Aids. Their, misplaced, argument was that South Africa was a major centre of the epidemic - with infection rates running at about 11% nationally - whereas yellow fever had been eradicated in Nigeria. Luckily, common sense prevailed on both sides very quickly, within six days. The two governments are now reconciling - but the same cannot be said of the citizens. The diplomacy will somehow have to be extended beyond the politicians and technocrats - if the true meaning of brotherhood is to be appreciated once again. Post-apartheid xenophobia cannot yield good fruits. Some years ago Nigerians were shouting \"Ghana Must Go\" as they harried Ghanaians in droves out of the country. Now Ghanaians are comfortable at home but Nigerians are seeking economic exile in that country. No condition is permanent.

This is the latest element of an ongoing campaign of pressure by the UK against Russian intelligence since the poisoning of the former Russian spy Sergei Skripal in Salisbury two years ago. The aim is to try and deter Russian activity by exposing it. A notable aspect of this attribution is that it relates to events which took place relatively recently, in October 2019. One of the targets was Georgian broadcasters. The GRU's targeting of broadcasters goes back at least to 2015 and a takedown of the French TV5Monde channel. That led to concern about what they might do against other broadcasters in other countries. This is seen as part of Russia's tactics of hybrid warfare, or grey-zone activities, which are designed to destabilise countries. The problem for the UK, though, is that so far there is little sign of the GRU being deterred. A key test will come with the US election this year, and whether it attempts to interfere in that as it was accused of doing in 2016. \"The scale of this attack is something we haven't seen before,\" Prof Alan Woodward, cyber-security expert at Surrey University in the UK, said at the time of the Georgia attack. During the brief 2008 Russian-Georgian conflict, Georgia accused Moscow of carrying out cyber-attacks against its government, although Russia denied this. The war broke out after Georgia attempted to recapture South Ossetia, which had fought a separatist war against Georgia in the 1990s. Russian forces then entered the country and seized control of the Georgian territories of South Ossetia and Abkhazia. Who is Mikheil Saakashvili? Mr Saakashvili served two terms as president in Georgia between 2004 and 2013. He gave up his Georgian citizenship in 2015, when he became governor of Ukraine's Odessa region. He was deported from Ukraine in 2018 after falling out with his predecessor - but his Ukrainian citizenship was restored in May 2019. Mr Saakashvili is wanted in Georgia on criminal charges, which he claims are politically motivated.",

On social media on Tuesday, Grant shared his childhood letter, in which he offered Streisand a \"two-week holiday, or longer\" at his family home. Streisand replied to the tweet, thanking Grant for the \"wonderful letter\" he sent when he was 14. Grant first sent the letter to the US star when he was growing up in Swaziland, which is now called eSwatini. He shared it on social media on Tuesday, alongside a photograph of himself outside Streisand's home in California. In the letter, Grant wrote: \"You don't know me yet, but I am writing to offer you an idea you might like to consider. My name is Richard and I live in a small African kingdom called Swaziland in south-east Africa.\" He told her his family had been avid fans since seeing her Oscar-winning performance in the 1968 film Funny Girl, and owned all her records. \"I read in the paper that you were feeling very tired and pressurised by your fame and failed romance with Mr Ryan O'Neal. I would like to offer you a two week holiday, or longer, at our house, which is very beautiful with a pool and a magnificent view of the Ezulwini Valley.\" 'Hasty reply' He continued: \"No-one will trouble you and I assure you you will not be mobbed in the street as your films only show in our one cinema for three days, so not that many people will know who you are, so no chance of being mobbed. Please consider this respite seriously. You will always be welcome.\" Grant signed off his letter \"in anticipation of a hasty reply\" - but he did not receive one at the time. He found fame as an actor 15 years later in Withnail & I, and finally got a response to his letter on Tuesday when Streisand replied to his tweet. The Oscar, Grammy, Emmy and Tony Award-winning star thanked Grant for his \"wonderful letter\" and called him \"terrific\" in his latest film. Grant, who's now 61, shared his tearful response to Streisand's tweet. The actor said he was \"overcome with emotion\" and called the moment \"My 'Message in a bottle' miracle\". Grant was nominated for his first Oscar last week, for best supporting actor in the biographical crime drama Can You Ever Forgive Me?

Labour's Keir Starmer said Gibraltar should not be a \"bargaining chip\". Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson has insisted Britain remains \"implacable and rock-like\" in its support. Mr Johnson held talks on Friday with Gibraltar's chief minister to reassure him of the UK government's continued backing. Mr Johnson met with Fabian Picardo who said the territory was being singled out for \"unnecessary, unjustified and unacceptable\" discrimination by Spain. An EU source told the BBC the inclusion of the Gibraltar issue in the document triggering Article 50 had come after lobbying from Spain. However, Theresa May had not mentioned Gibraltar once in her 2,200-word letter, starting the Brexit process. Lord Boswell, chairman of the House of Lords EU Committee, said the government must not give the impression that Gibraltar is an \"afterthought\". Sir Keir, the shadow Brexit secretary, has told Brexit Secretary David Davis that Gibraltar's sovereignty and interests must be protected. Clare Moody, Labour MEP for Gibraltar and south west England, told BBC Radio Four's Today programme it was the government's job to \"represent the people of Gibraltar\". She said: \"I was amazed that they failed to do that in the letter they sent on Wednesday. \"It worries me that we are about to enter into the most detailed negotiations that we have known for decades. \"If the government has overlooked the interests of Gibraltar, which is a crucial part of the kind of constitutional arrangements of our membership of the European Union, then what else are they going to overlook as well?\" Christian Hernandez, president of the Gibraltar Chamber of Commerce, told the programme that the British government needed to \"stand firm in the face of Spanish bullying\". \"We don't want to be independent from the UK. \"We've made it very clear in the last 100 years, in the last 20 years, in the last 15 years, we want a constitutional relationship with the UK, where we continue to be part of the UK and independence is not something we aspire to,\" he added. Spain has long contested Britain's 300 year-rule of Gibraltar. Gibraltarians, who number about 30,000, rejected by 99% to 1% the idea of the UK sharing sovereignty with Spain, in a vote in 2002. However, Spain has continued to press its territorial claim. Following last June's EU referendum - in which Gibraltar voted by 96% to 4% to remain in the EU - Spain's then foreign minister suggested shared sovereignty could allow Gibraltarians to maintain some of the benefits of EU membership and enable Spain to \"plant its flag\" there. But Alfonso Dastis, his successor, said in January that Spain would not put Gibraltar at the centre of the negotiations and it would be free to leave the EU if it wished. Analysis: Why is this happening now? By Matthew Cole, BBC News politics reporter In the months since the referendum, many senior Spanish officials played down suggestions Brexit would be used to press Spain's claims to Gibraltar. A source close to the Spanish prime minister even told me Mariano Rajoy is \"not an adventurer\" and would not seek to exploit Brexit, as it was \"not his style\". So perhaps it is the sequencing of the Brexit talks announced by the EU Council President Donald Tusk on Friday that has presented an opportunity Spain does not want to miss. Talks on the Brexit divorce will come first. Then talks on Britain's future trade deal with the bloc. When Britain finally does get to negotiate its future trade deal with the EU, it could hold leverage over Spain, which will want to protect business interests and investments in the UK - like those of the Santander bank. So that could explain why the Spanish are raising the issue of Gibraltar now, trying to get it settled as part of the Brexit divorce deal. For now, Britain will hope other EU members decide backing Spain on this is a low priority - and won't insist it is part of the final deal. In its draft Brexit negotiating guidelines, the European Council identified future arrangements for Gibraltar as one of its 26 core principles. It wrote: \"After the UK leaves the union, no agreement between the EU and the UK may apply to the territory of Gibraltar without agreement between Spain and the UK.\" Brussels officials were quoted by the Guardian as saying the EU was standing up for its members' interests. \"That means Spain now,\" a senior EU official told the newspaper. \"Any extension of the deal [after withdrawal] to Gibraltar... will require the support of Spain. [The text] recognises that there are two parties to this dispute.\" Gibraltar: key facts 'Shameful' But Mr Picardo said: \"This draft suggests that Spain is trying to get away with mortgaging the future relationship between the EU and Gibraltar to its usual obsession with our homeland. \"This is a disgraceful attempt by Spain to manipulate the European Council for its own, narrow, political interests. \"Brexit is already complicated enough without Spain trying to complicate it further.\" Mr Lopresti, chairman of the UK's All-Party Parliamentary Group on Gibraltar, said there was no question of any negotiation over Gibraltar's future. He will raise the matter with the secretary general of Nato, of which the UK and Spain are both members. He said: \"It is shameful that the EU have attempted to allow Spain an effective veto over the future of British sovereign territory, flying in the face of the will of the people of Gibraltar.\" Labour MP Mary Creagh, a supporter of the Open Britain campaign group, said Gibraltarians risked being treated as \"pawns\" in the Brexit process. Commuting issue Gibraltar's government has ruled out any dilution of sovereignty in return for continued access to the European single market or other benefits attached to EU membership. Key issues in post-Brexit negotiations relating to Gibraltar are likely to be border controls - thousands of workers commute in and out of the territory from the Spanish mainland every day - and airport landing rights.",

Mr McCrea was interviewed on BBC Radio Ulster's Nolan Show on Friday morning. He said the flying of the union flag is a matter for Belfast council but agrees it should fly only on designated days. The council veterans believe Mr McCrea, a Lagan Valley MLA, has contradicted party leader Mike Nesbitt and is not upholding the party's constitution in support of the union. Mr Stoker said he and his council colleagues are seriously considering their position and want the party to deal with Basil McCrea as a matter of urgency. Another source told the BBC that the councillors felt others had been dealt with ruthlessly while Mr McCea was an unguided missile who had been let off. In a statement the UUP said: \"Mike Nesbitt made the Ulster Unionist party`s position absolutely clear on Thursday. \"There is a fundamental issue regarding the chipping away of people's identity as British citizens. \"No doubt Basil McCrea's interview will be brought up when the party executive meet tomorrow.\" 'Cultural identity' Nationalists at Belfast City Council had wanted the union flag taken down altogether, but in the end voted on a compromise from the Alliance party that it would fly on designated days. The vote was 29 to 21, with unionists accusing Sinn Fein, the SDLP and Alliance of attacking their cultural identity. There have been loyalist protests and disturbances since then. Assembly parties are to hold a special session on Monday to debate a motion condemning the attacks on Alliance politicians' homes and offices. The first minister has called for the loyalist protests over the union flag to be suspended to ensure they are not used to launch a campaign of violence. Alliance said both main unionist parties must bear some responsibility for stoking up the flag issue. The DUP's Sammy Wilson accused Alliance of \"opening a Pandora's box\". However, the main Stormont parties put on a united front - agreeing to hold a special assembly session on Monday where all sides could express their opposition to the violence. In a written statement, Peter Robinson remained critical of the decision by nationalists to seek the removal of the Belfast City Council union flag. The first minister described it as \"divisive and provocative\". Minor trouble Mr Robinson also called for the recent violent attacks to stop immediately and said the flag protests should be suspended in the wider interests of creating a peaceful society. In Ballymena on Thursday night, there was minor trouble when a small group of loyalists attacked police Land Rovers and cars in Linenhall Street. They ran away when riot police moved in. Police remained in the area until traffic began moving freely through the town centre. The PSNI said that some roads had been blocked by loyalist protesters in north and south Belfast. Speaking on BBC Northern Ireland's The View on Thursday evening, Nigel Dodds, DUP, said his party would be taking steps to table a motion in the Northern Ireland Assembly over flying flags at Stormont. He condemned the recent violence as deplorable. Mr Dodds said his party had not asked people to come out onto the streets but to lobby. However, he added: \"We will not back down in terms of our determination to ensure that the Britishness of Northern Ireland is not diminished.\" Alliance leader Naomi Long said her party's councillors had behaved responsibly in Belfast in taking advice on equality and voting that the union flag should be flown on designated days. \"The DUP are determined to take this campaign to Stormont and to create more difficulties,\" she said. \"The bottom line, is violence is wrong. This is about whether you are for democracy and the rule of law or against that democracy and rule of law.\" She said that any decision to fly the union flag over the cenotaph outside Belfast city hall would have to be considered as a separate issue by the council. It would not alter the decision taken about flying the union flag on designated days at the city hall. Earlier, Alliance leader David Ford requested an immediate recall of the assembly, which was backed by the SDLP's Pat Ramsey and two Ulster Unionist assembly members, Basil McCrea and John McCallister. However, Sinn Fein preferred holding any special session on Monday, before other scheduled business is dealt with, arguing that a divisive debate at Stormont might fuel tensions over the weekend.",

The government has undertaken a major investment programme to modernise selected cities across the country. In the run-up to the Indian election, which gets under way on 11 April, BBC Reality Check is examining claims and pledges made by the main political parties. Pledge: In 2015, the Indian government made a commitment to invest in 100 'smart cities' over five years. Verdict: The project timeline has been delayed as not all the cities were not chosen at the start of the programme, and only a small portion of the funds allocated have been used so far. What is a smart city? The government makes it clear there's no single definition of a smart city. But it's pledged to allocate funds to improve the quality of life in 100 selected cities, using the latest technological developments. Under the government's Smart Cities Mission, 100 cities were chosen from across the country, with the last batch only selected in 2018. These delays have led to the project missing its original deadline, which has now been extended to 2023. Under the programme, each smart city is to be provided annual federal support, with some contributions from state and local city bodies. Read more from Reality Check Has the project delivered? By February 2019, the government had approved 5,151 projects worth about 2,000bn rupees (about $29bn) under the Smart Cities Mission. It says 715 of the projects have now been completed, and another 2,304 are under way. However, the official data shows a significant difference between allocated funding and actual project spending. A total of about 166bn rupees ($2.39bn) had been allocated to the Smart Cities Mission between 2015 and 2019. But in January this year, the government acknowledged that just 35.6bn rupees ($0.51bn) had been utilised - about 21% of the total. There's also been concern voiced about how the money is being used. Out of the projects approved so far, about 80% will be spent on developing areas within cities - rather than the whole city. One NGO, the Housing and Land Rights Network, has labelled the Smart Cities Mission a \"smart enclave scheme\". Some analysts argue the mission focuses on new projects, rather than on enhancing the capacity of existing local bodies in urban areas. So, offering bicycle-sharing facilities or building parks may not be enough unless thought is given on how to integrate them into overall city planning, they say. \"The lack of coordination between implementing agencies is a major reason why the intended benefits are still not visible to the public,\" said a parliamentary committee report. The government says it has offered training courses to boost the capacity of existing local bodies - but it's not clear how successful these have been. The government says the pace of the project has picked up significantly in the last year. \"There has been a 479% increase in projects completed since October 2017,\" it told India's parliament in December. Hardeep Singh Puri, the minister of state for housing and urban affairs, told the BBC that 15 integrated command and control centres are already operational under the project. \"If we have 50 of these completed by December 2019 out of the 100 required, my view is that this is one of the fastest implemented projects of this kind anywhere in the world.\" Read more from Reality Check Send us your questions Follow us on Twitter",

Since their BBC TV show came to an end in 2007 they've done a live theatre tour and made a handful of appearances at festivals around the world. Despite saying they'd \"love to put out\" live shows and an album of tracks they recorded in New York \"at some point\", the duo say their Record Store Day duties are, for now, a one-off appearance for The Mighty Boosh. It's fair to say they're taking their role seriously though. Noel and Julian say they're on a mission to get the nation to \"slow down and get physical\". Julian remembers his \"formative years\" discovering music at Jumbo Records in Leeds: \"It's about chatting to the people behind the desk, the people you bump into in the shop... it's a magical journey, a pilgrimage.\" He says that whereas now you \"turn on the digital tap and music just comes out\", it's not like that with physical records. \"You've got to get over this hump of effort with records - it make you choose differently. \"You're fighting for attention and that's why it's important places like this exist.\" Noel says it's nice to go through somebody's record collection, too. \"If you were on a date or you'd just met someone, you could have a peek at their collection and think 'Oh, this isn't going to work'.\" To celebrate their role as UK ambassadors, it was previously announced that the duo's original radio series will be available on vinyl for the first time. The show made its debut in 2001 on BBC London Live, before eventually being aired on BBC Radio 4. \"It was on in the afternoon after a sports round-up... that presenter hated our show,\" Julian says. Noel adds: \"He'd be talking about how Spurs were playing then he'd go, 'Anyway, now we've got... I don't even know what this is'. \"Then our show would come on to a load of angry football fans.\" As fans of The Mighty Boosh might expect, they've also got a more surreal ambassadorial offering. \"We can come to people's houses and provide a personal service,\" Noel offers. \"We'll push vinyl into people's faces and make them smell and feel records. \"We might also melt some vinyl down and make shoes out of it. There could be some hats and broaches? \"We're here for you, we're here for all of vinyl and record shops. Well... all the independent ones in the UK.\" Record Store Day takes place on 13 April.

            "input": "By James GallagherHealth editor, BBC News website There is some controversy about whether people can become addicted to sexual behaviours, including watching porn. University of Cambridge researchers performed brain scans on 19 men watching pornographic videos. They showed the same reward centres of the brain were activated as when addicts see their drug of choice. Two of the men in the study had lost jobs through watching pornographic material at work. Four of them say porn was a gateway drug to escort agencies and fetishes. They were all obsessed with sexual thoughts and behaviour, but it is uncertain that they are \"addicts\" in the same way as a smoker is addicted to nicotine. Some researchers argue their traits more closely resemble an impulse control or obsessive compulsive disorder. Brain scans A team of researchers used functional magnetic resonance imaging to observe the changes in brain activity caused by watching pornographic videos. They compared the brains of people with compulsive sexual behaviour and healthy people. The results, published in the journal PLoS One, showed higher levels of brain activity in the three parts of the the brain: the ventral striatum, dorsal anterior cingulate and the amygdala. These are all areas that become excited in addicts when they see their drug of choice. Dr Valerie Voon, from the University of Cambridge, told the BBC: \"This is the first study to look at people suffering from these disorders and look at their brain activity, but I don't think we understand enough right now to say it is clearly an addiction. \"We don't know if some of these effects are predispositions, meaning that if you have greater activity in these areas are you more likely to develop these behaviours or if it is an effect of the pornography itself - it's very difficult to tell.\" She added that the earlier people were exposed to drugs the more likely they were to develop into addicts. However, Dr Voon cautioned there was insufficient evidence to advise on the impact of teenagers watching porn on the internet. 'Lies and deceit' Paula Hall, the chair of the Association for the Treatment of Sex Addiction and Compulsivity, said the internet was now providing non-stop sexual novelty. She told the BBC News website: \"What I'm seeing is increasing numbers of young men who cannot maintain an erection because they've wrecked their appetite with pornography, their arousal threshold goes up so a mere mortal doesn't do it anymore. \"The damage to a couple's relationship can be huge, the lies and deceit, not having sex with partner as they appear to present with a low sex drive as they're on the internet all the time. \"The might stop engaging in family activities as it's a chance to have the house to yourself, porn is often where it starts and it's a bit of a gateway drug to sex workers.\" However, she said it was still controversial to say such people were addicts and the field was poorly researched. Dr John Williams, the head of neuroscience and mental health at the Wellcome Trust charity, says: \"Compulsive behaviours, including watching porn to excess, over-eating and gambling, are increasingly common. \"This study takes us a step further to finding out why we carry on repeating behaviours that we know are potentially damaging to us. \"Whether we are tackling sex addiction, substance abuse or eating disorders, knowing how best, and when, to intervene in order to break the cycle is an important goal of this research.\"",

Many Republicans, on the other hand, were cautiously optimistic that the president would push back against Mr Putin on a range of issues.

Things went … a bit differently. Here are some key takeaways.

In his answer, he stood by his earlier comments and said he held \"both countries responsible\". He said both sides had \"made some mistakes\" - but declined to specifically mention items like the Russian military involvement in Ukraine and its annexation of Crimea, the Novichok chemical attack in southern England and the indictment of Russians for meddling in the US election. Instead, he insisted there was \"no collusion at all\" between his campaign and Russia, conflating charges of election meddling - for which there have been indictments of Russian nationals - with evidence of collusion, which the Mueller probe has not yet alleged. When asked if he would directly condemn Russia and Mr Putin on election meddling, Mr Trump said his intelligence officials - including Director of Intelligence Dan Coats - have told him \"they think it's Russia\". Mr Putin, he continued, just told him it's not Russia. \"I don't see any reason why it would be,\" Mr Trump concluded, apparently leaning toward the Russian professions of innocence over the conclusions of his own government. This has put the US intelligence community in a familiar bind, given Mr Trump's past criticisms. It's a bind, however, for which Trump-appointed leaders, in office for more than a year, are now accountable. Mr Coats has issued a statement saying his intelligence community stands by its \"fact-based assessments\" of Russian meddling and their \"ongoing, pervasive efforts to undermine our democracy\". Later on Monday, the president made an effort, via Twitter, to smooth over ruffled feathers. Mr Mueller has indicted more than two dozen Russians, but Mr Trump still isn't convinced that they're to blame - raising instead questions about the security of Democratic computer servers and FBI bias. The Trump Justice Department, and Mr Mueller's special counsel team, will grind on - Monday afternoon's announcement of a Russian woman indicted for being an undisclosed foreign operative is evidence of that. But Mr Trump's campaign to discredit their work will also continue undeterred. Never Trumpers' outrage Not surprisingly, Mr Trump's performance was greeted with a mix of condemnation and derision from the left. Senate Democratic Minority Leader Chuck Schumer called it a \"shameful performance\" that was \"thoughtless, dangerous and weak\". John Brennan, director of the CIA under Barack Obama, said Mr Trump was guilty of treason. Meanwhile, never-Trump conservatives were quick with \"I told you so-s\". Political consultant (and Jeb Bush advisor) Mike Murphy called it a \"dark day\", after tweeting a string of invective. Former 2008 Republican presidential candidate John McCain said it was \"one of the most disgraceful performances by an American president in memory\". \"The damage inflicted by President Trump's naivete, egotism, false equivalence, and sympathy for autocrats is difficult to calculate,\" the Arizona Republican senator, and chair of the Armed Services committee, wrote in a statement. \"But it is clear that the summit in Helsinki was a tragic mistake.\" Conservative unease Perhaps most noteworthy is how Mr Trump is being seen among Republicans who are - or were becoming - more sympathetic to Mr Trump. Abby Huntsman, a conservative commentator and daughter of US ambassador to Russia Jon Huntsman, tweeted that \"no negotiation is worth throwing your own people and country under the bus\". Newt Gingrich called Mr Trump's statements on intelligence agencies \"the most serious mistake of his presidency\". Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, who swings between Trump critic and Trump confidante, was back in the former camp, calling the summit a \"missed opportunity\", a \"bad day for the US\" that will be sign of weakness to Russia. New York Post columnist Karol Markowicz, who several months ago had written about how pro- and anti-Trump conservatives had to dial back their rhetoric, was blunt. \"You can love Trump, you can be thrilled he vanquished Hillary, you can be right that Obama's foreign policy was clownish, but call it here: this was atrocious and no American president should ever behave this way.\" The Drudge Report had a headline blaring that \"Putin dominates\" the summit. Even on the Fox News cable networks, which are normally Trump's biggest defender and echo chamber, commentators appeared uneasy. Neil Cavuto called the president's performance \"disgraceful\" and said it \"sets us back a lot\". \"There is a growing consensus across the land tonight ... that the president threw the United States under the bus,\" said Fox News White House correspondent John Roberts. Mary Kissel, a member of the Wall Street Journal editorial board, told Fox News audience that \"nothing was achieved\" from the summit. \"The president came off as wanting to have more meetings and going to Putin and asking for Putin's help, when we should be in the position of Putin coming to us and asking us to ease up on him,\" she said. \"Unfortunately, President Putin scored a great propaganda victory.\" This could all blow over, of course. With domestic political battles on the horizon - a Supreme Court confirmation and mid-term election contests - the partisan battle lines could quickly re-form. For a moment, however, there was a hint of doubt and concern and the possibility that, at some point in the future, when political expediency is no longer paramount, Mr Trump could face more significant dissention within his ranks. 'A first important step' This isn't how Mr Trump and his supporters see it. For them, the summit should be framed as the beginning of a larger effort to repair relations between the world's two largest nuclear powers. \"From the earliest days of our republic, American leaders have understood that diplomacy and engagement is preferable to conflict and hostility,\" he said. Mr Putin echoed those sentiments, calling the summit the \"first important step\". With no tangible results from the summit, the two leaders are framing this as the first of many meetings to come Given the American reaction from across the political spectrum, however, future meetings may be difficult to pull off. After a week abroad, Mr Trump on Monday delivered the coup de grace for what has been a highly disruptive week in US foreign affairs. European allies are uneasy. US-Russia relations are uncertain. And the US political world - and even the White House's own communications team - is unsettled. What comes next? That's unknown.",

In a Facebook post, her aunt Emily Mistry said Ms Middleton \"had passed away from Covid-19\" and urged others to \"do your bit\" to stop the spread. The BBC understands that because Ms Middleton was not admitted as a patient to the hospital she was not tested for coronavirus. According to government figures, most patients who have died with coronavirus had pre-existing medical conditions. There have been concerns that younger people were ignoring warnings over its spread, believing the contagion was only a danger to the elderly. But in a series of Facebook posts, Ms Middleton's family urged the public to heed safety advice and take the virus \"seriously\". 'Shattered' Her mother, Diane Middleton, wrote: \"Please think again. \"Speaking from a personal experience, this so-called virus has taken the life of my 21-year-old daughter.\" Ms Mistry added: \"My beautiful, kind-hearted 21 year old niece has passed away from Covid-19. \"She had no underlying health conditions.\" She said the family was \"shattered beyond belief\". \"The reality of this virus is only just unfolding before our very eyes,\" she added. \"Please, please adhere to government guidelines. \"Do your bit. Protect yourselves and protect others. The virus isn't spreading, people are spreading the virus.\" Ms Middleton's sister, Amy Louise, added that it was \"about time people took this seriously, before too many people end up in this devastating position\". An 18-year-old man who died in hospital at the weekend after testing positive was being treated for \"significant underlying health issues\". How deadly is the coronavirus? The elderly and the unwell are more likely to die if they contract coronavirus. But even among older people, \"the great majority will have a mild or moderate disease\", according to the UK's chief medical advisor, Prof Chris Whitty. He also pointed out some young people have ended up in intensive care, and should therefore not dismiss it as a \"trivial infection\". Current estimates from Imperial College London are that the death rate is almost 10 times higher than average for those over 80, and much lower for those under 40. As well as age, those with diabetes, high blood pressure or heart or breathing problems are also deemed more at risk. Read more: How deadly is the coronavirus?

The duke is lying back, propping himself up on his elbow, with his hat balanced on his knee. His funeral will take place in Windsor Castle at 15:00 BST on Saturday. The duke's children will walk behind his hearse during the procession. In the photograph, taken on a sunny day at the Coyles of Muick near the Aberdeenshire town of Ballater, the Queen and Prince Philip look completely at ease and are smiling warmly at their daughter-in-law Sophie who took the photograph. The Queen - dressed in a tartan skirt, blouse and cardigan, and a string of pearls - is sitting on a rug with her husband. The Coyles of Muick stands above the entrance to Glen Muick and offers walkers an uninterrupted view to the mountain of Lochnagar. It is near to the Queen's private estate of Balmoral, where the couple enjoy their traditional summer break. The Queen has named a corgi puppy, recently given to the monarch, Muick, and its dorgi puppy playmate is called Fergus - another Scottish name. The area has been painted by the Prince of Wales, whose summer retreat of Birkhall is close to the area where the Queen and Philip were photographed. Meanwhile, Mike Tindall, who is married to the Queen and Prince Philip's granddaughter Zara Tindall, has paid tribute to the Duke of Edinburgh as a \"devoted family man who we will forever miss but always love\". The former England rugby player posted a picture on Instagram from the Royal Family's personal photo albums of the duke with the Tindalls' eldest daughter Mia. The photograph, taken by the Duchess of Cambridge, shows Mia and her great-grandfather eating together on a bench in front of a wooden cabin. A half-drunk pint of beer can be seen in the background to the right of the duke. \"It's been a very sad week but it has given us time to reflect on great memories and stories both personal and shared,\" Mr Tindall said. Mrs Tindall gave birth to her third child just three weeks ago and named her son Lucas Philip, with his middle name honouring both the duke and Mr Tindall's father. In the week since Prince Philip died aged 99, several members of the royal family have issued previously-unseen photographs.

Mr Kofod welcomed the \"frank, friendly and constructive talk\". It came after Mr Trump said Denmark's prime minister had been \"nasty\" when rebuffing his idea of buying Greenland. Mette Frederiksen had called his ambitions of buying the autonomous Danish territory \"absurd\". She said she was \"disappointed and surprised\" that he had cancelled his visit. The trip was scheduled to take place on 2 September, at the invitation of Denmark's Queen Margrethe II. The US State Department said Mr Pompeo and Mr Kofod had a friendly phone call on Wednesday about the \"postponement\" of the president's trip. \"The secretary expressed appreciation for Denmark's co-operation as one of the United States' allies and Denmark's contributions to address shared global security priorities,\" spokeswoman Morgan Ortagus said in a statement. \"The secretary and Foreign Minister Kofod also discussed strengthening co-operation with the Kingdom of Denmark - including Greenland - in the Arctic.\" Mr Kofod said the talks had affirmed a strong bond between the two countries. The US and Denmark \"are close friends and allies with long history of active engagement across globe,\" he wrote on Twitter. How did we get here? While praising Denmark as a \"very special country\", Mr Trump said in a tweet on Tuesday that his planned visit would no longer go ahead because Ms Frederiksen had \"no interest in discussing the purchase of Greenland\". Mr Trump had earlier confirmed reports that he was interested in buying the autonomous Danish territory. Speaking to reporters on the White House lawn on Wednesday afternoon, he took umbrage at Ms Frederiksen calling his plans \"absurd\". \"I thought that the prime minister's statement that it was absurd, that it was an absurd idea was nasty,\" he said. \"I thought it was an inappropriate statement. All she had to do is say no, we wouldn't be interested.\" \"She's not talking to me. She's talking to the United States of America. You don't talk to the United States that way, at least under me,\" he added. Earlier on Wednesday, Ms Frederiksen had told reporters the idea of selling the resource-rich Arctic island had \"clearly been rejected\" by its leader, Kim Kielsen, \"a position I share of course\". How did Danes react to the cancelled visit? The cancellation was described as a \"farce\" by the leader of the populist Danish People's Party, Kristian Thulesen Dahl. \"What is this man thinking of though? And with grounds that are worthy of an April Fools' joke,\" he tweeted. Danish Conservative MP Rasmus Jarlov accused Mr Trump of lacking respect for his country. Former foreign minister Kristian Jensen said Mr Trump's move had resulted in \"total chaos\". A spokeswoman for the leftist Red-Green Alliance, Pernille Skipper, said: \"Trump lives on another planet.\" Pia Kjaersgaard, the populist former speaker of the Danish parliament, said it showed \"rude behaviour to the Danish people and the Queen, who invited him.\" Why might Greenland appeal to the US? Mr Trump has reportedly taken an interest in Greenland, in part, because of its resources, such as coal, zinc, copper and iron ore. But while Greenland may be rich in minerals, it relies on Denmark for two-thirds of its budget revenue. It has high rates of suicide, alcoholism and unemployment. The US has long seen the island, which sits along a direct route from Europe to North America, as being strategically important. It established the Thule air force and radar base there at the start of the Cold War, which now covers space surveillance and forms the northernmost part of the US ballistic missile early warning system. Meanwhile, new Arctic sea routes are opening up as climate change is blamed for the accelerating thaw of ice in the region. China has recently been taking an interest in the area, too.

            "input": "By Mark SavageBBC music reporter The star's statement came in a court filing in which she nominated a trust company to take over her finances. The conservatorship means a court-appointed guardian oversees the singer's personal and financial decisions as well as her healthcare. The 38-year-old is currently seeking several changes to the arrangement. Many fans have speculated she is being held against her will or stolen from, leading to a grass roots movement known as #FreeBritney. However, the papers filed on Monday at Los Angeles Superior Court on Monday indicated that Spears wants the set-up to remain in place. \"This is a voluntary conservatorship. Conservatee wishes to exercise her right to nominate a conservator of the estate,\" wrote her lawyer, Samuel Ingham III, in a filing obtained by the BBC. The arrangement has been in place since Spears' infamous public breakdowns more than a decade ago. For most of that time her father, Jamie Spears, has acted as her legal guardian, overseeing her mental health care and other aspects of her life and career. He stepped back last year, citing health concerns, and was replaced on a temporary basis by Jodi Montgomery, a licensed professional conservator. The singer had made little effort to alter the terms of the arrangement before this August, when her lawyers filed papers in Los Angeles, saying the star believed the conservatorship \"must be changed substantially in order to reflect the major changes in her current lifestyle and her stated wishes\". Among those changes was a \"desire not to perform at this time\", and the removal of her father as her custodian. 'Strongly opposed' Monday's filing reinforced this claim by nominating Jamie Spears' potential replacement. \"Britney is strongly opposed to her father continuing as sole conservator of her estate,\" said her lawyer. \"Rather, without in any way waiving her right to seek termination of this conservatorship in the future, she strongly prefers to have a qualified corporate fiduciary appointed to serve in this role.\" The star requested that the Bessemer Trust Company, a New York-based wealth-management firm, took control of her finances - an estimated $57.4 million (£42.5 million), including about $2.7 million (£2 million) in cash, according to court documents. The filing also stated that Spears does not have a developmental disability, and is not currently a patient of the California Department of State Hospitals or the California Department of Developmental Services. A hearing on the conservatorship is scheduled for October. Last month, Judge Brenda Penny also extended the current version of the conservatorship until 1 February, 2021, in accordance with Spears' wishes. In the meantime, Jamie Spears has sought to have future proceedings in the case sealed to protect his daughter and her two children. \"Such information would undoubtedly fuel widespread publicity and the ability to obtain access to her or her children, as evidenced by the publicity surrounding this conservatorship since its inception and numerous instances of harassment,\" his lawyer said. \"That publicity would be highly injurious to the Conservatee's health and well-being, as well as the health and well-being of her minor children.\" The American Civil Liberties Union has also weighed in on the case, saying it would support Britney if she requested help in ending the conservatorship. \"People with disabilities have a right to lead self-directed lives and retain their civil rights,\" the organisation said in a tweet. \"If Britney Spears wants to regain her civil liberties and get out of her conservatorship, we are here to help her.\" Follow us on Facebook, or on Twitter @BBCNewsEnts.

Hours later, the \"boisterous, talented\" musician was dead, the jury heard. Marcia Rigg-Samuel, 48, said the police told the family he had \"suddenly collapsed and died\", but nothing more. Southwark Coroner's Court heard Mr Rigg had been arrested on suspicion of committing public order offences and attacking a police officer in Balham. Mr Rigg, who had begun his own record label and released a CD, was seen by a doctor after he became ill at the police station and given CPR when his condition worsened, the hearing was told.

Keith's remains have never been found and claims made in the show have led to a police investigation into whether Brady had revealed their location. Channel 4 said after consulting with Mrs Johnson's family, the show would air \"with their approval\". Greater Manchester Police are investigating whether Brady, 74, gave details about Keith's grave to his mental health advocate Jackie Powell, from Carmarthenshire, South Wales. A police spokesman said without new evidence, no further searches of Saddleworth Moor would be undertaken. Keith, who was murdered in 1964, remains the only one of Brady's victims not to be found during searches of the moor, near Manchester. Brady and his lover Myra Hindley murdered five children between 1963 and 1965. A Channel 4 spokesman said the documentary would be \"airing as planned following consultation with Winnie Johnson's family and with their approval\". \"There will be tweaks to reflect Winnie's sad passing but otherwise the film will remain unchanged,\" he said.

Terry Kilbride, whose elder brother John was murdered by Brady in 1963, said it was now \"up to the families to get something done\". 'A mind game' He said that Mrs Johnson had been \"the last one, the last remaining mother, so it's up to the sons and the daughters and it will carry on and on and on until Keith is found\". \"I will and I know Alan Bennett [Keith's brother] will - his mum fought 46 years for this and never got a result,\" he said. He added that he could not \"understand why the police don't do another search\", but said he thought the claims Brady had revealed details about 12-year-old Keith's grave would come to nothing. \"It's a ploy, a mind game. It's just a game that Brady plays,\" he said. \"If Brady does open his mouth, he will know exactly where Keith is - even though that landscape has moved, he'll have a good idea. \"My opinion is that he is not going to tell, he'll take it to the grave, but it's up to the families to get something done for Keith whether he tells us or he doesn't.\" Keith was snatched by Brady as he made his way to his grandmother's house.",

The Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) welcomed \"the prudent decision\". \"Insurers should pay close attention to the need to protect policyholders and maintain safety and soundness,\" it said. \"Decisions regarding capital or significant risk management issues need to be informed by a range of scenarios, including very severe ones.\" 'Last minute pressure' The Bank of England wrote to banks and insurers at the end of March asking them to suspend dividend payments and hold onto the cash which they may need during the crisis. Lloyds, Royal Bank of Scotland, Barclays, HSBC and Standard Chartered kept hold on to a total of £15.6bn which shareholders had been expecting. Wednesday's action by insurers saw them keep back millions they had promised to shareholders in dividend payments. Aviva had declared an annual dividend of 30.9p a share, RSA a 23.1p dividend and Direct Line a 21.6p dividend. \"The regulator is clearly very keen for insurers to retain capital going into the next few months, and given the number of dividend cuts this morning we suspect some last minute pressure was applied to bring the industry to heel,\" said William Ryder, equity analyst at Hargreaves Lansdown. However rival insurer Legal & General ignored the Bank of England's advice and announced last week it intends to stick with its 2019 final dividend. Strong capital position The insurers scrapping dividends temporarily all said they remain in a strong capital position. Aviva said: \"The Board has taken this decision in the wake of the unprecedented challenges COVID-19 presents for businesses, households and customers, and the adverse and highly uncertain impact on the global economy.\" RSA Chairman Martin Scicluna said: \"This is a difficult decision, not least in terms of the initial impact it will have on shareholders. \"No company exists in a vacuum and at this time we judge it to be in the best long-term interests of RSA to show forbearance on dividends and maximise our capability to support customers under the terms of their respective policies and play our part in industry initiatives to support relief efforts.\" Despite their capital strength, insurers - like banks - are set to face a lot of financial pressures, pointed out William Ryder. \"The coming months are not going to be normal,\" he said. \"Motor insurance claims are falling thanks to empty roads, but it's possible that other claims may rise going forward.\" 'Real strain' Earlier this week companies were warned not to scrap dividends \"unnecessarily\" because of the negative effect on pension savers. The Investment Association wrote to FTSE 350-listed firms urging those that cut dividends to restart \"as soon as it is prudent to do so\". It pointed out that dividends are an important income stream for many savers, pensioners and institutional investors, including pension funds and charities. \"The response to the COVID-19 pandemic has caused real strain across the economy and so it is right that investors help steady the ship,\" said Chris Cummings, chief executive of the Investment Association. But he warned that companies that don't play fair will be held to account. \"We are trusted by millions of pension savers to invest their money wisely and that means taking a long-term view, backing companies that do the right thing, and holding those that don't to account.\"",

            "input": "While China has said it aims to land astronauts on the Moon by the 2030s, in the decades since the Apollo 17 mission no human has returned to walk on the Moon. The death on Saturday of former US astronaut Alan Bean means there are now just four men alive who can describe what it is like to set foot on the Moon's surface. Here, through their writing and interviews, they recount their experiences. Charles Duke: Born 3 October, 1935 One of the most historically important voices in America, Charles Duke served as the spacecraft communicator - or CAPCOM - during the Apollo 11 mission when Neil Armstrong became the first person to walk on the Moon. Born in North Carolina, an estimated 600 million television viewers heard his southern accent as the voice of Mission Control. \"You got a bunch of guys about to turn blue. We're breathing again,\" he famously said after the landing was confirmed. Within a few years he would be heading his own lunar mission. \"Would y'all like to go to the Moon with me?\" he asked his children ahead of the Apollo 16 mission in 1972. As lunar module pilot, he would form part of an expedition tasked with inspecting and sampling a region in the Moon's rugged highlands. When his children said they would very much like to come, Mr Duke promised to take a family portrait with him. \"I'd always planned to leave it [there]\" he told Business Insider in 2015. \"So when I dropped it, it was just to show the kids that I really did leave it on the Moon.\" In 1999, Mr Duke spoke to Nasa about driving across the Moon's surface in a lunar rover. \"I was taking pictures and describing the terrain we were going over,\" he said. \"The car was amazing. It was electric, four-wheel drive, and it would climb a 25-degree slope.\" \"As far as the eye could see - was just the rolling terrain of lunar surface. It was really an impressive sight. My only regret of the whole mission was that we didn't take enough pictures with people in them.\" David Scott: Born 6 June, 1932 Born in San Antonio, Texas, David Scott graduated from the US Air Force before joining Nasa in 1963. He flew in space three times and as commander of Apollo 15 was the seventh person to walk on the Moon, the first to drive on it, and the last American to fly solo in Earth's orbit. \"I remember… raising my hand towards the point where the Earth hung in the black sky above,\" he wrote in the book Two Sides of the Moon. \"By slowly raising my arm until my stiff, gloved thumb stood upright, I found my thumb could entirely blot our planet from view, One small gesture and the Earth was gone,\" he added. Mr Scott says he is often asked about his time on the Moon and whether it changed him in any way. \"I describe the majesty of the lunar mountains,\" he says, \"the layers of volcanic lava or the beauty of the sparkling crystals in the rocks\". He adds: \"Only an artist or poet could convey the true beauty of space.\" Harrison Schmitt: Born 3 July, 1935 Born in Santa Rita, New Mexico, Harrison Schmitt had a different background to his peers. A geologist and academic, he did not serve in the Air Force, but instead served as an astrogeologist, initially instructing Nasa astronauts during their geological field trips before becoming a Nasa scientist-astronaut in 1965. He was assigned in August 1971 to fly on the last mission, Apollo 17, replacing Joe Engle as Lunar Module Pilot. Mr Schmitt landed on the Moon with commander Gene Cernan in December 1972. The crew took the famous \"Blue Marble\" photograph which has become one of the most reproduced and recognisable photographs in history. In a Nasa interview in 2000, Mr Schmitt said the light cast on the Moon provided impressive detail. He said: \"You could see features very clearly. \"I had a chance to see this magnificent valley that we were in, a valley deeper than the Grand Canyon... 6-7,000 ft mountains on either side, 35 miles long, and about four miles wide where we had landed.\" Mr Schmitt said that one of the hardest things to get used to was the blackness of space. \"The biggest problem I think photographers have in printing pictures from space is actually finding a way to print black, absolute black. Certainly slides that you show will have a little bit of blue in the background, and you're just never going to get the contrast that we had visually on the Moon, because the sky was black.\" Edwin 'Buzz' Aldrin: Born 20 January, 1930 Born in New Jersey, Buzz Aldrin became a Nasa astronaut in 1963 and was part of the Apollo 11 mission in 1969, which was the first space trip to send astronauts to the Moon. During the mission he was accompanied by Neil Armstrong, who took the first steps on the Moon, only to be followed minutes later by Mr Aldrin himself. The two spent a total of 21 hours and 36 minutes on the Moon's surface. Their spacecraft, the Eagle lunar module, landed in an area of the Moon called the Sea of Tranquillity, where they set about exploring the surface. Photographs taken by Mr Armstrong of Mr Aldrin climbing down from the Eagle, which he piloted, and walking on the lunar surface are famous around the world. In 1998, Mr Aldrin described the Moon's surface as being covered in a fine dark grey \"talcum powder-like dust\" with a variety of scattered pebbles, rocks, and boulders. \"If you examine it under a microscope, you can see it's made up of tiny, solidified droplets of vaporised rock resulting from extreme velocity impacts,\" he said in an interview published by Scholastic. He said that his term \"magnificent desolation\" referred in part to the achievement of being there, and in part to the \"eons of lifelessness\". Mr Aldrin also described weightlessness as \"one of the most fun and enjoyable, challenging and rewarding, experiences of spaceflight\". \"Perhaps not too far from a trampoline, but without the springiness and instability,\" he said. Since his trip to the Moon, Mr Aldrin has repeatedly suggested: \"One day, we are going to send some people to the surface of Mars.\"",

Andrew Moore, of the Three Mile Water Conservation and Angling Association, said the pollution incident would have a major impact on the river. At seven miles long it runs from Ballyrobert, near Newtownabbey, to Belfast Lough at Whiteabbey. A spokesperson for the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs (Daera) said the cause of the fish kill is still unknown. An active group of anglers and conservationists have revitalised the river in recent years, doing clean-ups and habitat restoration. \"It was quite shocking to hear,\" Mr Moore said. \"The river has been doing quite well recently in terms of water quality and we have been avoiding fish kills. \"The affected area was in a productive stretch of the river and the amount killed would actually set the river back quite a bit, because that would be quite a significant portion of our spawning stock of trout.\" It is understood officials from the NI Environment Agency have been on site in an attempt to locate the source of the pollution. The water level is also understood to have been low following recent dry weather. The Daera spokesperson said the Northern Ireland Environment Agency (NIEA) was alerted by a member of the public about dead fish in the river on Monday evening. The NIEA then sent a water quality inspector to the river to assess the environmental impact. \"The full impact on the fishery remains under investigation and the investigation will continue,\" the spokesperson added.",

The physics teacher was sacked for gross misconduct from Fazakerley High School in Liverpool in April last year. While the Teaching Regulation Agency (TRA) hearing found Mr Evans guilty of unacceptable professional conduct, he was spared a ban from the profession. The hearing in Coventry was told that Mr Evans made the Smurf joke after seeing a pupil's fingers stained with blue ink. 'Sexual nature' Mr Evans, who is believed to be in his late 20s, also admitted making explicit remarks about a pupil eating a chocolate bar and discussed sexual contact between a 15-year-old boy and a 14-year-old girl. When a pupil mispronounced \"pedometer\" as \"pee-dometer\", Mr Evans reacted by holding up the device and making a bleeping noise. This caused the boy to reply: \"Sir, are you calling me a paedo?\" TRA chief executive Alan Meyrick said he would not ban the popular and respected teacher despite his \"comments of an inappropriate and sexual nature in front of pupils\". \"Mr Evans accepted that he used humour as a teaching tool but, for this lesson, due to the stresses he was under, he had severely misjudged what was appropriate,\" the TRA said. The panel judged that \"the conduct complained of was limited to a single lesson and was a misjudgement, albeit a significant one, by Mr Evans following a lengthy period of pressure being placed on him both in a professional and personal capacity\".

The bus company apologised and said no further local services were under threat. Gwynedd council said it was considering running some bus services as a \"possible option for the future\". Plaid Cymru's Ms Gwenllian has urged the Welsh Government to find a \"new model\" for bus services. Arriva confirmed it was cutting the number 88 service between Llanberis and Caernarfon from 23 September \"due to low passenger figures\", though the service will continue to operate on Sundays. Jan Chipps of Talysarn, near Caernarfon, said villagers who did not own cars felt increasingly \"isolated\" and she feared rural communities would be left to \"die\" if bus services were not protected. \"It's like being a second-class citizen if you don't have a car,\" she said. Ms Chipps added: \"People in rural areas really rely on buses to get to work or school but we've seen the service [for our village] cut quite dramatically. \"That feeds into economic decline of these rural communities.\" The issue is affecting rural areas across Wales, according to Ms Gwenllian. \"We need to lobby to give local authorities rights and responsibilities for deciding on the timetables, when and where buses should run,\" she said. \"But the Welsh Government now should start thinking properly about how to support the setting up of new municipal bus operators, so the emphasis shifts from profits to providing a service for everyone.\" The government said it could not force an operator to run a particular service without subsidy. However, it has already approved a £25m discretionary grant to help authorities subsidise \"socially-necessary\" transport services in 2018-19, a spokesman said. \"This is just one of several funding streams we use to help support a sustainable bus network and is a notable achievement given the challenging budget settlements from the UK Government,\" the spokesman said. Gwynedd council confirmed it was looking into running a potential replacement bus service for the number 88. \"Whilst there is a willingness to consider the matter, it is important to note there are a number of matters and commitments to consider in detail along with considerable financial investment and time before such a considerable change could be introduced across the county,\" a council spokesman said.",

            "input": "By Richard BlackEnvironment correspondent, BBC News The Independent Climate Change Email Review was set up by the University of East Anglia (UEA) after more than 1,000 e-mails were hacked from its servers. Climate \"sceptics\" claimed the e-mails showed that UEA scientists manipulated and suppressed key climate data. But these accusations are largely dismissed by the report. The review found nothing in the e-mails to undermine Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reports. The review, chaired by former civil servant Sir Muir Russell, has spent months reading submissions sent in by climate scientists and their critics and interviewing key players, notably scientists within the university's Climatic Research Unit (CRU). It concludes that \"their rigour and honesty as scientists are not in doubt\". However, it says \"there has been a consistent pattern of failing to display the proper degree of openness\", notable over complying with Freedom of Information (FoI) requests. CRU scientists were too quick to dismiss critics from outside their own circles, it says. Sir Muir said the methods the inquiry team used ought to allay fears that this was a whitewash. \"It's inevitable that people who've made up their minds (beforehand) have made up their minds,\" he said. \"But we haven't ducked the issues... we've gone to the heart of the issues to resolve them as best we can.\" Edward Acton, UEA vice-chancellor, said the review should \"finally lay to rest the conspiracy theories, untruths and misunderstandings that have circulated. \"We hope this exoneration of UEA climate scientists and their research collaborators around the world, some of whom have suffered considerably during this experience, will be widely reported.\" He said the university accepted the inquiry's criticisms on lack of openness and compliance with FoI legislation, and that he had written to all staff at the university reminding them of their responsibilities. Meanwhile Professor Phil Jones, the former CRU director at the centre of many of the allegations, has taken up the new post of director of research within the unit. Professor Acton said this would allow him to continue his research while others shouldered more of the administrative burden, including taking primary responsibility for FoI requests. Dr Benny Peiser, director of the Global Warming Policy Foundation, an influential sceptical think-tank, said that the report was a \"damning indictment of the university's handling of freedom of information requests\". He told BBC News: \"There is clearly strong evidence of mishandling of the requests [by the CRU] and strong criticism of its failure to provide legitimate information. \"I don't think the university can just claim that this is a vindication.\" Dr Peiser added that that the issue would \"not go away with this report\". \"We (the Global Warming Policy Foundation) have now commissioned our own inquiry into the way these three inquiries have been set up and run,\" he said. \"I don't know anyone among the critics who has been swayed by the first two.\" But Gabi Hegerl from the University of Edinburgh, a researcher who has regularly worked with the CRU team, told BBC News she was delighted that the \"nightmare\" was over for Phil Jones and his colleagues. \"I am also very pleased that the report concluded it found nothing to undermine the IPCC reports. \"The IPCC has worked hard to represent the scientific findings about climate change as clearly as possible and to treat uncertainties rigorously,\" she said. 'Unfounded allegations' The e-mails released last November amounted to about 0.3% of the material on the hacked UEA server, the panel said. They explained that the remainder was in the hands of police investigating the breach. However, conditions imposed by the police had made it impossible for the team to go through all the rest of the material. The e-mails, along with other documents, cover a period dating back to 1997 and were released into the public domain just before the Copenhagen climate summit last year, with some seeing it as a political act designed to destabilise the summit. CRU produces one of the four most widely used records of global temperature. These have been key to the IPCC's conclusions that the planet's surface is warming and that humanity's greenhouse gas emissions are very likely to be responsible. Critics have alleged that the unit's scientists withheld temperature data from weather stations and also kept secret the computer algorithms needed to process the data into a record of global temperature. The review concludes these allegations are unfounded. \"We find that CRU was not in a position to withhold access to such data or tamper with it,\" it says. \"We demonstrated that any independent researcher can download station data directly from primary sources and undertake their own temperature trend analysis\". Writing computer code to process the data \"took less than two days and produced results similar to other independent analyses. No information from CRU was needed to do this\". Sir Muir commented: \"So we conclude that the argument that CRU has something to hide does not stand up\". Asked whether it would be reasonable to conclude that anyone claiming instrumental records were unavailable or vital code missing was incompetent, another panel member, Professor Peter Clarke from Edinburgh University, said: \"It's very clear that anyone who'd be competent enough to analyse the data would know where to find it. \"It's also clear that anyone competent could perform their own analysis without let or hindrance.\" The university also did not withhold temperature data derived from tree rings, the inquiry concluded. But access to the data \"was not simple until it was archived in 2009\". On one occasion, when presenting a graph combining tree-ring and instrumental data to the World Meteorological Organization, it should have made clearer the way in which the data was combined. The inquiry found no evidence that CRU researchers distorted the peer review process employed by scientific journals, or unduly influenced IPCC reports by ignoring research papers that contradicted their own findings. This is the third and most comprehensive review into the CRU issue, and has reached similar conclusions to the previous two. At the end of March, a report from the House of Commons Science and Technology Committee said the unit should be more open and transparent and must comply with Freedom of Information laws. And in April, a second inquiry criticised sometimes \"messy\" practices within the unit and suggested closer liaison with professional statisticians. But neither found any evidence of malpractice. Both reviews were criticised in \"sceptical\" circles as superficial and lacking in balance. On Monday, a review commissioned by the Dutch government into the IPCC's projections of climate impacts found \"no errors that would undermine the main conclusions\" - that man-made climate change poses a significant threat in many regions of the world. Policy change Lord Lawson, the former UK chancellor and now chairman of the GWPF, said that if scientists wanted to have the respect of politicians, they should be \"very open\". \"And these people were not open,\" he told BBC News. \"It's quite inexcusable, when governments are being asked to make policy decisions that will affect everybody - hugely expensive policy decisions, if the science on which they are based is covered up.\" Climate researcher Dr Chris Huntingford from the UK's Centre for Ecology and Hydrology, said that he was \"quietly confident\" that the research community would rise to the challenge ever increasing levels of scrutiny. \"The last 20 years has seen a shift, from research in to the global environment being an intellectual curiosity to one of utmost importance,\" he said. \"For those working in the field, this is rewarding but it also brings new responsibilities.\"",

            "input": "In a speech which ended his party's conference, the PM said he would raise the tax-free allowance from £10,500 to £12,500 by 2020. He also said the threshold for the 40p income tax rate would be raised from £41,900 to £50,000 by the end of a five-year Conservative government. The changes would back people who \"do the right thing\", he said. Both tax reform proposals - the timing of which the party said depends on economic circumstances - received lengthy ovations. Mr Cameron also promised: Increasing the personal allowance would take one million of the lowest-paid out of income tax and give a tax cut to 30 million more, Mr Cameron said. Somebody working a 30-hour week on the minimum wage would pay no income tax, he said: \"Nothing, zero, zilch.\" The Institute for Fiscal Studies said the combined cost of the tax changes would be £7.2bn by 2020. Raising the threshold for the 40p tax band would be worth £1,600 a year to those earning £50,000, benefiting an estimated 800,000 taxpayers. 'Strong economy' The NHS pledge is a repeat of the policy on which the Conservatives fought the 2010 general election. He was given a standing ovation as he criticised what he said were \"complete and utter lies\" from the Labour Party on the NHS. A future Conservative government would protect the NHS budget, he said, adding: \"You can only have a strong NHS if you have a strong economy.\" Mr Cameron hailed NHS advances in DNA research - and paid tribute to the NHS treatment given to his profoundly disabled son Ivan, who died in 2009. \"For me, this is personal,\" he said, and with both he and his watching wife Samantha looking close to tears, he added that his family knows \"more than most\" the importance of relying on the health service. He said: \"How dare they suggest I would ever put that at risk for other people's children?\" Analysis: Ben Wright, BBC political correspondent It was the tax cut promise a Conservative conference has waited years to hear. Raising the 40p income tax threshold to £50,000 was a pledge that lifted the roof. Tory candidates and canvassers have been given an easy to understand, middle class tax cut to take into the general election next May. And this speech framed the election as a sharp choice between two parties: The Conservatives and Labour. There was barely a mention of UKIP. The central message was simple: Britain is on the right track, don't turn back. The attack on Labour was ferocious and David Cameron tried to seize large chunks of their traditional territory. Read more from Ben The PM also spoke of his pride in Britain after the Scottish referendum result and the D-Day anniversary. In his speech he made a \"vow\" to deliver reforms to ensure there were English votes for English laws in Parliament following the 'No' vote in the Scottish independence referendum. He also said there was \"no walk-on-by\" option in the battle against the \"evil\" Islamic State, adding that if the UK did not deal with them, \"they will deal with us\". In an attack on Labour, Mr Cameron said the Conservatives were \"the real party of compassion and social justice\" and promised a crackdown on zero-hours contracts. Unveiling a plan to build 100,000 new affordable homes only available to first-time buyers, Mr Cameron said the Tories were \"the party of home ownership once again\". Help for people trying to get on the housing ladder was also pledged, and Mr Cameron said people would have to \"work a bit longer and save a bit more\". Analysis: Simon Gompertz , BBC personal finance correspondent David Cameron's two big tax promises address some of the burning issues for taxpayers. One is that those on low incomes are struggling to meet their commitments because wages continue to rise much more slowly than prices. The prospect of a significantly higher personal allowance shows them a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel. It could take a million out of tax altogether. At the other end of the tax spectrum, the government has faced criticism that increasing numbers are being drawn into the 40% income tax bracket, even though they would not think of themselves as well off. Tax cut plans: The effect on you A £50,000 threshold would pull hundreds of thousands out of the teeth of the higher rate trap. But as with all tax measures, it will be vital to watch how they are implemented. The longer it takes to bring them in, the less they are worth. As things stand, many of the low paid will continue to pay National Insurance, even if they escape income tax. And many will worry that other taxes, including National Insurance, might be raised to finance these two giveaways. Mr Cameron also paid tribute to House of Commons Leader William Hague, who is stepping down as an MP next year, calling him \"our greatest living Yorkshireman\". Referring to planned spending cuts of £25bn in the first two years of the next Parliament, he said: \"That's a lot of money, but it is doable.\" Turning to the issue of Europe, Mr Cameron said he would not \"take no for an answer\" in EU negotiations ahead of a referendum in 2017. UKIP threat \"When it comes to free movement, I will get what Britain needs,\" he said, asking people to judge him by his record in vetoing EU treaties and supporting a budget cut. \"Around the table in Europe they know I say what I mean and I mean what I say.\" Addressing the issue of UKIP, to which two Tory MPs have recently defected, Mr Cameron said: \"If you vote UKIP, that is really a vote for Labour. \"And here's a thought for you. On 7 May you could go to bed with Nigel Farage and wake up with Ed Miliband.\" The Conservative Party has unveiled a string of policies this week - on health, housing and pensions - that it hopes will show voters it is on their side. Chancellor George Osborne announced a two-year freeze on working-age benefits, criticised by some as an attack on the poor. The conference has also been overshadowed to some extent by rumours about possible further defections after MP Mark Reckless's surprise decision to jump ship to UKIP. After Mr Cameron's speech, former Conservative Party donor Arron Banks announced he was donating £1m to Nigel Farage's party. He had been intending to give £100,000 but had raised that to £1m after, he said, William Hague suggested he was a \"nobody\". The former foreign secretary said he had never heard of Mr Banks, who previously gave £25,000 to the Tories. 'Pinch of salt' The prime minister's task was to banish the defections from his party's mind and give them a clear message to sell to voters on the doorstep next May. \"If our economic plan for the past four years has been about our country, and saving it from economic ruin, our plan for the next five years will be about you and your family and helping you get on,\" he said. Mr Cameron chose to deliver his speech from behind a lectern with notes - in contrast to Labour leader Ed Miliband who last week was criticised for forgetting key passages of his memorised speech to his party's conference. But, after the prime minister's address, Mr Miliband said: \"David Cameron doesn't realise what is happening in our country. The NHS is sliding backwards, people can't get to see their GP, people are waiting for hours in A&E.\" Mr Miliband said the Conservatives had decided \"to hit the incomes of working people by freezing their tax credits\" and had then offered unfunded \"vague, pie-in-the sky commitments\". Lib Dem Chief Secretary to the Treasury Danny Alexander criticised what he called a \"shameless attempt to copy Liberal Democrat tax policy\". Tax cuts in this parliament had only been delivered because of the \"determination and commitment\" of the Conservatives' coalition partners, he said. UKIP economic spokesman Patrick O'Flynn said Mr Cameron was \"imitating\" his party's \"tax-cutting agenda\" and challenged the Conservatives to scrap inheritance tax. The Green Party said the pledge to freeze the NHS budget was \"largely meaningless\", saying the government had inflicted \"deep wounds\" to the service. Robert Joyce, of the Institute for Fiscal Studies, said the tax cuts would cost more than twice the amount raised by the benefit freeze announced by Mr Osborne. And he said other departments would feel the \"squeeze\" as a result of health spending being protected. Business group the CBI backed \"stronger incentives\" to get people into work, while the Taxpayers' Alliance said the tax changes were \"incredibly good news\".",

            "input": "By Chris WoodBBC News Frankie Hobro said her frustration was when the public recognised the plight of her Anglesey Sea Zoo and fundraised to save it, but the Welsh government failed to offer specific help. A government spokesman said a \"generous package\" meant more money was available than if a special scheme was created. He pointed to eight attractions already having accessed £350,000. But Ms Hobro said: \"The Anglesey Sea Zoo is in a particularly untenable position, with high running costs, staffing costs and the pressure of maintaining ultimate animal welfare, with absolutely no income during closure and currently no promise of when we will be allowed to reopen for our income to return.\" Major zoo attractions opened earlier this week in England with reports of \"unprecedented\" ticket sales, but there is still no indication when this may happen in Wales. Anglesey Sea Zoo has 40 tanks with marine life such as octopus, lobsters, seahorses, conger eels and jellyfish with running costs of £20,000 a month whether it is open or closed. Ms Hobro said it was not possible to reduce costs, as the Welsh government suggested, without \"cutting corners\" and \"sacrificing the quality of care\". Money from a special Economic Resilience Fund (ERF) has helped it get back on track after three months of closure, and Ms Hobro described a Development Bank of Wales bounceback loan of £50,000 as a \"lifeline\". But she accused the government of \"a total failure to appreciate the unworkable challenges we are currently facing on a daily basis\". \"We had exciting plans for the Anglesey Sea Zoo in 2020, with several fundamental changes planned across the site and the prospect of an exciting expansion project on the horizon,\" she added. \"Sadly, as a result of the Covid-19 crisis, instead we have been faced with a fight for survival.\" Her views were echoed by Jan Garen of the Wales Ape and Monkey Sanctuary in Abercrave, Powys, who described an \"utterly irresponsible\" and \"frankly insulting\" attitude to zoos. While she was able to access £10,000 from the ERF, Mrs Garen believes there has been a failure to recognise the unique challenges faced by the industry. \"It assumes all businesses are in the same boat. We have no income but our overheads are the same,\" she said. \"There should have been special funds recognising that we have to stay functioning even though we are closed. \"A cafe or pub, for example, doesn't need to be buying food and drink or pay their staff. It's not the same thing.\" The sanctuary has 200 animals to feed and care for. While two part-time reception staff were furloughed at the start of the pandemic, the other four employees stayed on to look after the animals. She blasted the Welsh government for sending a letter suggesting cost-cutting or collaboration work, saying mowing lawns was the only work they could stop and the individual zoos had enough on their plates to be able to help each other. Although the sanctuary lost £30,000 in net sales in April alone, Mrs Garen praised supporters. More than £7,440 was raised in a raffle for which 100 prizes were donated and people have donated online. Owners of attractions in north Wales have joined together to help raise funds for the Welsh Mountain Zoo in Colwyn Bay - which has animals including Sumatran Tigers and Snow Leopards. Denbighshire Leisure is giving free Ninja TAG games - an obstacle course on Rhyl promenade - to everyone making a donation to its official recovery fund. The zoo's Marcia Azevedo Moreira said: \"It is incredible to see another popular attraction in the area putting something together that will help us push our plight further.\" 'Generous package' A Welsh Government spokesman said: \"Zoos and other animal attractions in Wales have been able to access a more generous package of support through our ERF than they would have had through a sector specific scheme and several weeks before England announced their fund on 4 May.\" He urged those that had not applied to do so and said ministers looked at the possibility of lifting restrictions during each review - the latest set to be announced on Friday.

Counsel to the inquiry, Paul Greaney QC, said upcoming evidence from the 2016 exercise may show \"the very things that were identified as going wrong\" went wrong on the night of the attack. He said the training event \"identified weaknesses in shared situational awareness\", where the Greater Manchester Police force duty officer was overloaded to the point he was unable adequately to fulfil his role. Paul Argyle was chairman of the GMRF and deputy county fire officer for Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service at the time of the training and of the attack. He told the inquiry on Monday \"no significant issues\" had been brought to his attention following the 2016 exercise. He added: \"I do think there may be reluctance during the debrief process for criticism to be made of other agencies for fear of appearing to be rude.\" Mr Greaney asked Mr Argyle whether weaknesses about overloading the force duty officer should have come to the attention of the GMRF. Mr Argyle replied: \"I think that would have been the right thing to do, to bring that forward.\" The inquiry continues. Why not follow BBC North West on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram?

But the Huffington Post journalist who spoke to the peer on Wednesday has now tweeted an audio recording of his interview with Lord Maginnis. The MP called the remarks a \"homophobic attack\" and said she would report it to police, who are now investigating. 'Hate crime' A Metropolitan Police statement said its \"Parliamentary Liaison and Investigation Team is looking into an allegation of hate crime at the House of Commons made to them on Thursday, 9 January\". Speaking to the BBC on Thursday afternoon, before the Huffington Post recording was released, Lord Maginnis said: \"I certainly didn't call her a 'queer'. \"Whether I was asked a question which used that particular term I'm not sure. It's not something I remember.\" 'Cross' Lord Maginnis had spoken to the Huffington Post on Wednesday, after Ms Bardell made allegations against him that he verbally abused security staff as he entered Parliament the day before. Ms Bardell witnessed the incident on Tuesday and raised it in the House of Commons, saying it was \"one of the worst cases of abuse of security staff\" she had witnessed as an MP. Lord Maginnis later told BBC News NI that he was not displaying his security pass at the time and admitted that he got \"cross\" when staff insisted that he take it out of his bag and show it to them. He explained that doing so would cause him pain due to his arthritis, adding he had difficulty with balance because of nerve damage in his legs and feet. But Lord Maginnis went on to accuse Ms Bardell of having an \"ulterior motive\" in making her allegations. He said he believed she had complained against him because of his well-known opposition to same-sex marriage and abortion. 'Disgraceful' Lord Maginnis made similar claims about Ms Bardell's motives in his Huffington Post interview, but then was heard to say: \"Queers like Ms Bardell don't particularly annoy me.\" \"Okay, she's got her cheap publicity out of it.\" Returning to the Commons on Thursday afternoon, Ms Bardell said: \"I'm sorry to say the member from the Other Place [House of Lords] who I have complained about has now launched a homophobic attack on me in the press. \"This will be reported to the police and I know I, and others, consider this to be a hate crime.\" Addressing Ms Bardell's concerns, the Leader of the Commons Jacob Rees-Mogg urged Lord Maginnis to apologise, calling the comments \"disgraceful\". 'Bad tempered' In a statement, the Lord Speaker of the House of Lords, Lord Fowler, said: \"I am deeply concerned by recent reports of a Member of the House of Lords directing offensive language towards parliamentary security staff and a Member of Parliament\". \"The reported behaviour and use of such language is totally unacceptable and has no place in Parliament. \"We are working hard to build an inclusive and respectful environment, and behaviour such as this totally undermines our collective efforts.\" Lord Fowler added: \"Security on the parliamentary estate is everyone's responsibility. Any disregard for security rules is against the interests of us all. \"Our security staff do a difficult job with the utmost professionalism and deserve support from all members.\" In an interview on BBC Radio Ulster's Talkback programme earlier on Thursday, Lord Maginnis admitted he became angry with the security guards. \"The next thing this Scottish lassie, I forget her name, I've never seen her before, she was there and she stood up in the House of Commons and made a scene about my being bad tempered, which was quite true. \"It's very strange, she must have an ulterior motive,\" the peer added. Lord Maginnis, who is 81, became a life peer in 2001. Prior to that he had been the MP for Fermanagh and South Tyrone since 1983.",

            "input": "Lee Boxell was last seen in the High Street in Sutton, south-west London, in September 1988 when he was aged 15. The Metropolitan Police now believe he was murdered. They have also revealed there was \"known paedophile activity amongst a group of offenders in the Cheam area at the time Lee disappeared\". Investigators are working on the theory that on the day he disappeared Lee went to a church outbuilding where teenagers would drink and smoke. St Dunstan's Church in Cheam was known as \"the shed\", police said, adding that a group of offenders were engaged in paedophile activity at the time. 'Victim of circumstance' Det Insp John McQuade said: \"Lee used to go to the shed and there is a theory that he may have seen something that may have led to him losing his life. \"There's no indication that he was a victim of any paedophile activity or sexual offences against himself. \"Although shy and a bit socially inept he was a strong little character. If he had seen it, he would have stood up to them. I think he was a victim of circumstance that afternoon.\" He said the shed had attracted teenagers who would congregate there to spend time with their friends. Mr McQuade began reviewing the case in 2011 and realised it should have been treated as a murder investigation from the beginning. He said although the case was still being investigated as a missing persons inquiry, there was \"little evidence\" he was still alive. \"We believe that there is a witness or witnesses who would have been at the shed on the day Lee went missing and would appeal directly to those people to come forward,\" said the detective. A reconstruction of Lee's last known movements was broadcast on BBC One's Crimewatch on Thursday night, along with an appeal by his parents for information. So far investigators have received about 40 calls to the studio and a number of others to the incident room. When he disappeared, Lee was 5ft 6in (1.67m), slim with light brown hair and was wearing black jeans, a white Flintstones T-shirt and brown suede shoes.",

            "input": "\"Kill him. We must kill him,\" young men are shouting, brandishing machetes and knives. These angry men are militiamen, calling themselves \"anti-balaka\". They took up arms, they say, to defend the Christian population. But they have now turned into lynch mobs. They have just found their prey - a Muslim man, whom they accuse of having fought with the Seleka forces who seized power last year. Covered in amulets and talismans, which they believe will make them invincible, they all want to have a go at him. Blood is trailing from the back of his head already, as he keeps being shoved. \"Seleka killed our families like animals, we have to kill him,\" one of the militiaman says. Another one runs closer and whips him. After several failed attempts, he manages to escape, but he is quickly cornered again in a side street in the town of Bozoum, 400km (250 miles) north-west of the capital, Bangui. Warning shots \"We have suffered terribly but I can't accept that we should kill as a result,\" a woman comes to tell us. \"They should hand him over to Misca [the African Union peacekeeping mission] instead.\" Two Cameroonian soldiers force their way through the scrum, automatic rifles forward. The man is finally extracted; the peacekeepers are dragging him toward their base down the road. Dozens of militiamen are following them at a steady pace, some protest, shouting that they shouldn't be prevented from what they \"have to do.\" The anger is rising and the peacekeepers are almost encircled. One of them has no other choice, he pulls the trigger pointing toward the sky. Only the gun makes a difference in front of these lynch mobs. It will take another burst of warning shots to keep the anti-balaka at a safe distance. \"If you cross this line, we will shoot you,\" the AU team leader screams, leaving a horizontal trace with his foot on the dirt road. There are 11 AU soldiers here. They have prevented a man from being killed - but can they save the next one? Unleashed to kill Men with machetes strapped to their trousers or wearing belts of ammunitions for their homemade guns are all over the town, we bump into them every few metres. Seleka forces left the town of Bozoum on Monday. Since then, the anti-balaka keep pouring out of the forest. They are on the hunt, unleashed to kill and seeking \"revenge\". On Wednesday night, some of them attacked the house of imam Ahmad Mohamed. We had heard a volley of gunfire. As we meet the imam at his house the morning after, he explains that his quick call to the AU soldiers saved him and his family. \"In 40 years here, I have never seen that,\" he says. \"But the violence is out of control, we don't have a choice, we must leave or get killed.\" 'We live in fear' More than 1,000 Muslims were evacuated this week. Those, like imam Mohamed, who had thought they could stay, now say there is no more alternative. They are waiting for a military convoy - organised by the Chadian army most likely - to come and escort them all the way to Chad. A fearful countdown has started. Perched on a hill, the Catholic mission is holding a last church service for the displaced people it has hosted since early December. Time seems up for some, but for the displaced Christians, the departure of the Seleka forces may allow them safe passage back to their neighbourhoods. Many have lost relatives, and the church became their only sanctuary. \"We've had enough, we want to go home,\" says Martien Yeremanda as he starts walking down the hill, a wooden bench with pots and basins on it swaying on his head. His brother was hit in his chest by a poisoned arrow and died during the violence last month. \"An international force must come to protect us because we live in fear.\" The 3,500 Christian people who had chosen to camp out by the church returned home on Thursday, but they were not sure of what they would find. On the roads north and south of Bozoum, villagers have nowhere to return; they are still hiding in the forest. We immediately understood why as we drove outside the town. We saw the signs of the brutality they have faced: Every single house on either side of the road has been burned down. An estimated 1,300 homes were torched in two days last week, hours before the former Seleka's Michel Djotodia stepped down as interim president. Jerome Ngaina is returning to his village, Bokongo, for the first time. A group of anti-balaka militiamen - the only ones to venture around here - give him the local greeting; they gently touch foreheads together, and pat his head. Mr Ngaina worked at the parish before he was captured last week, beaten and held for three days, deprived of water and food. Like in all others in the village, there is nothing left in his house but cold ashes. The man who negotiated his release is an Italian priest, Father Aurelio Gazzera. After 22 years in this country, he has seen rebellions and coups, but he is now dealing with unprecedented sectarian violence. He is extremely worried that the worst may still happen. \"It is possible to avoid it but it will be more and more difficult, and the margins are getting very narrow,\" he says. \"Especially now that the former Seleka forces have left, it was clear that we were going to need a deployment of military forces to protect both communities, avoid the looting and attacks of anti-balaka fighters, and quickly disarm them all.\" Vigilantes Without a stronger international force around, he may be the last chance of mediation between the communities here. He's been driving around kilometres of land outside Bozoum to meet hundreds of anti-balaka fighters. He addresses them fluently in the local language, Sango. When he convinced the Chadians and the AU force to force the Seleka combatants out of Bozoum earlier this week, his car was stoned and he was nearly killed by Muslim civilians who were scared that they would lose protection. Other Muslims praise his courageous attempt to ease inter-communal tensions, and it was a Muslim man who saved him. On the road back to Bozoum, a group of anti-balaka comes out of the bush to stop our car. They have become Christian vigilantes and they are determined. Father Aurelio talks to them under an imposing mango tree. A few meters away from him though, these fighters speak their mind more freely. Flanked by two other fighters wearing rice bags for masks, a militiaman warns the Muslims. \"If they don't leave, we will continue fighting and we will chase them,\" he tells me.",

            "input": "By Dave LeeTechnology reporter, BBC News A scar, half an inch wide, stretched from just above the elbow and up over his shoulder. \"Our company paid for full medical expenses, so he had an operation,\" explained his coach, Kang Doh Kyung. \"[He] is the best player in StarCraft and has won everything in this field and is still going strong.\" Repetitive strain had injured Mr Lee's muscles, deforming them and making surgery the only option to save his illustrious career. Holding his arm out so I could have a proper gawp, Mr Lee paused. \"It's like a badge of honour,\" he said. It seemed like the confirmation I'd been expecting - that gaming in South Korea had reached a dangerous place, where professionals and amateurs alike were destroying their lives and their bodies. But Mr Kang sees it very differently. They're athletes, he argues, and injuries happen. One of his colleagues later suggested that if I'd been interviewing the world's most-decorated marathon champion, I wouldn't be surprised if they had damaged knees. Nor would I suggest a footballer needing surgery was \"too far\", the phrase I'd used to describe Mr Lee's arm. He had a point. Tap-tap-tap-tap Professional gaming - e-sport - is a huge deal in South Korea. There's a government department dedicated to its development. These gamers are like professional footballers, their matches broadcast - on TV and online - in English as well as Korean. The best earn hundreds of thousands of pounds every year: a mixture of salaries, prize money and sponsorship deals. Mr Lee is a Starcraft player for KT Rolster, one of South Korea's bigger teams. The scar is a result of being at the top of his game for 10 years. Read more stories from the South Korea Direct season: Whatever happened to Psy and K-pop's bid to conquer the world? The woman who liberated Korean housewives In Pictures: Fish, fruit and veg in South Korea's markets How good are Kim Jong-un's hackers? On the day I visited, KT Rolster's Starcraft players were training hard to be just like Mr Lee. The noise of their practice produced an almost hypnotic tap-tap-tap-tap backing track in a room which resembled the kind of place you'd be subjected to when sitting a computer-based exam. Each PC in its own cubicle, gamers with their headphones on, the room screamed \"do not disturb\". The difference here is that these cubicles feel lived in. Family pictures, the remains of snacks, and the odd toothbrush. And then there's the gifts. A lot of gifts. The professional gamers are overwhelmingly male, but their most-obsessive fans are female, lavishing the boys with the kind of attention otherwise reserved for the singing K-Pop stars, the country's other booming entertainment export. But unlike the fad of Gangnam Style, e-sports is something South Korea feels it can bring to the world. \"I believe that e-sport has plenty of potential [to be regarded as a proper sport], although perhaps not as much as physical games,\" Mr Kang said. \"E-sports is in the process of becoming a mental sport like chess.\" 'They're adorable' Down the hallway - and past a room filled with bottles of \"sports\" drink Pocari Sweat, another sponsor - I found the training room for KT Rolster's League of Legends team. League of Legends - LoL - is arguably the biggest of the e-sports titles and is all about teamwork and group strategy. The team here joked about going out and drinking beer - and teased about who got the most, and the least, gifts. As well as training together, the teams live together in some digs a short walk from the training office. I'd expected a room full of gadgets and other technology. These are big gamers, after all. But no - aside from a TV, there was very little in the way of gaming entertainment. Here, their charming housekeeper holds fort, and does what she can to keep the team healthy. \"They spend most of their time sitting with little exercise,\" she said, while washing up, \"so I wanted to avoid cooking high-calorie foods, but they love naughty foods like that.\" She loves them, she told me. \"They're adorable.\" All-night addiction At the top-end of gaming, the players are undeniably well looked after, healthy and happy - even if the gruelling routine means they clearly don't enjoy playing anymore. It's work. But for the non-professional, the impact heavy gaming is having on the health and social lives of young Koreans is of great concern to many. After visiting KT Rolster, I went to another part of Seoul to visit what is known as a PC Bang. They're all over South Korea - internet cafes, essentially, but with high-end gaming PCs. Hundreds of them, in a big room kitted out like a club - with its own bar. It's open 24 hours a day. There have been a number of instances where gamers have died in these PC Bangs. They are rare, but make global headlines. South Korea has made numerous attempts to curb the amount of online gaming its young are playing. In 2011, it passed the Shutdown Law - dubbed the Cinderella Law - which prevented children aged 16 or below from playing online games between 10:30pm and 6:00am. The rules were later amended to allow parents to make their own choice about when gaming access should be curtailed in the home. The country is the world leader in treatment for all sorts of technology dependency, but gaming is, by far, the most common issue. It's one that has parents literally dragging their children to addiction centres set up all over South Korea. At KT Rolster, coach Mr Kang is responsible for looking after his team's wellbeing - but he also recognised the negativity around hardcore gaming. \"When people immerse themselves in something and become addicted to it, then they can cross the line. \"Our bodies might be very tired or in poor condition. These things happen not only while playing games. Even when people work out, some people can have a heart attack.\" He stopped, keen to move on from what he saw as a predictable, perhaps tedious, line of questioning. During my time with KT Rolster my point of view flip-flopped between seeing gaming as either serious business, or a serious problem. With the relentless tap-tap-tap of keyboards still echoing in my ears, I came to the only reasonable conclusion I could: it's both. Follow Dave Lee on Twitter @DaveLeeBBC",

            "input": "Mr Duterte issued the pardon on Monday to Lance Corporal Joseph Scott Pemberton, who has been in prison since 2014 for the murder of Jennifer Laude. Pemberton has served just over half of a 10-year sentence for the murder. Virginia Suarez, a lawyer for Laude's family, called the decision a \"mockery\" of the country's justice system. The former US marine had been granted early release last week by a local court for good behaviour, but the decision was held pending an appeal by lawyers for Laude's family. That process was negated by the pardon. \"The president has erased the remaining punishment against Pemberton,\" announced Harry Roque, Mr Duterte's spokesman. \"He can now go home because of the pardon.\" There was no immediate announcement of a release date. 'A travesty of democracy' Pemberton met Laude in a bar in Olangapo in October 2014, while he was on leave after joint US-Philippines military exercises. Police said the pair checked into a hotel, where she was found dead the following day, slumped over the toilet, apparently strangled. The marine testified in court that he had attacked Laude after he realised she was transgender, but claimed she was still alive when he left the room. Ms Suarez, the Laude family lawyer, deplored the pardon. \"This is another injustice, not only to Jennifer Laude and family but a grave injustice to the Philippine people. This is a travesty of Philippine sovereignty and democracy,\" she said in a statement. The decision has also outraged LGBTQ+ groups. Mr Duterte's decision sent a \"loud and clear message that a Filipino trans woman's life does not matter\", said UP Babaylan, a local LGBT rights group, in a statement co-signed by other rights groups. The hastag #JusticeForJenniferLaude was trending globally on Twitter on Monday. In one of the most shared tweets, Philippine human rights activist Chel Diokno called the pardon an \"affront to Jennifer Laude and her family\" and a \"big step backward for justice in this case and in our country\". The murder case has strained ties between the US and the Philippines, a former US colony where the Americans retain a significant military presence. Under the terms of a defence pact between the two countries, the US retained custody of Pemberton throughout his trial and incarceration, meaning he served his sentence on a US military base rather than a Philippine prison. Some view the decision to pardon him as a concession towards the US. \"For as long as the US maintains hegemony over our military, economy, and politics, there will be no #JusticeForJennifer and for the Filipino LGBTQ+\", tweeted Bahaghari, another Filipino LGBT rights group. Last week, Mr Roque, who was a lawyer for the Laude family before becoming Mr Duterte's spokesman, had condemned the court decision to release the US marine early, saying on Twitter that Laude's death \"personifies the death of Philippine sovereignty\".",

This was despite the fact people in the study were exposed to pollution levels below the UK guidelines. Researchers called on the government to reduce air pollution more quickly. A team of scientists, led from Queen Mary University of London, analysed health data of people who had no underlying heart problems and were part of the UK Biobank study, including the size, weight and function of their hearts.

Sorry, your browser does not support this tool How polluted is your street? Source: MappAir100 by EarthSense If you cannot view the postcode search, please click here to reload the page. Researchers also looked at the pollution levels in the areas they lived in. Their study found a clear link between exposure to higher pollution levels and larger right and left ventricles - important pumping chambers in the heart. For every extra one microgram per cubic metre of PM2.5 - small particles of air pollution - and for every 10 extra micrograms per cubic metre of nitrogen dioxide, the heart enlarged by about 1%. The changes were comparable to being consistently inactive or having elevated blood pressure, said Dr Nay Aung, who led the study's data analysis. \"Air pollution should be seen as a modifiable risk factor,\" he said. \"Doctors and the general public all need to be aware of their exposure when they think about their heart health, just like they think about their blood pressure, their cholesterol and their weight.\" While the exact locations where people lived were not included in the study, most were outside of the major UK cities and all of them were exposed to levels of PM2.5 air pollution well below current UK limits. In the study, average annual exposures to PM2.5 ranged from eight to 12 micrograms per cubic metre. This is lower than the UK limits of 25 micrograms per cubic metre but closer to the World Health Organization's recommended limit of 10 micrograms per cubic metre. This fine particle pollution is particularly dangerous because it can penetrate deep into the lungs and cardiovascular system. Exposure to nitrogen dioxide in the study ranged from 10-50 micrograms per cubic metre - the UK and WHO limits are 40 micrograms per cubic metre. Dr Aung said the changes in the heart were small and potentially reversible. But he said the fact any change at all was detectable suggested even relatively low levels of air pollution may have a harmful effect on health. \"If you think the current levels of air pollution are safe, then in theory we shouldn't be able to detect any changes,\" Dr Aung added. 'Can't expect people to move' The British Heart Foundation, which co-funded the study, said the findings suggested the government and public health bodies needed to act more quickly to improve air quality. Prof Jeremy Pearson, associate medical director at the BHF, which part-funded the study, said: \"We can't expect people to move home to avoid air pollution - government and public bodies must be acting right now to make all areas safe and protect the population from these harms.\" Prof Pearson also called on the government to adopt the WHO air pollution guidelines. \"Having these targets in law will also help to improve the lives of those currently living with heart and circulatory diseases, as we know they are particularly affected by air pollution,\" he added. One limitation of the study, published in the journal Circulation, is that it cannot prove a causal link between air pollution and enlarged hearts. It is also not possible to say how many people in the study with enlarged hearts will go on to have heart disease. Prof Kevin McConway, emeritus professor of applied statistics at the Open University, who was not involved in the research, said the study provided \"pretty solid evidence\" of a link between pollution levels and changes in the heart. But he said it \"can't tell us everything\". \"Heart disease is affected by a wide range of factors - smoking, drinking alcohol, diet, exercise, social position, and more,\" he said. \"Suppose that people whose heart health is worse because of some of these factors also are more likely to live in places where air pollution is high. \"That could show up as a correlation between air pollution and heart disease, even if the pollution itself is having no direct effect on the heart.\" 'Top environmental risk' A spokeswoman for the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs said: \"Air pollution is the top environmental risk to human health in the UK, and requires collective action to tackle it. \"We have put in place a £3.5bn plan to reduce harmful emissions and our ambitious Clean Air Strategy will make us the first major economy to work towards World Health Organization recommendations on particulate matter emissions. \"By ending the sale of conventional new diesel and petrol cars and vans by 2040, we are also acting faster to tackle air pollution than almost every other major developed economy.\" The government's consultation on its draft Clean Air Strategy closes on 14 August.

She's one of dozens who have contacted the BBC in the same situation. \"I've worked hard. I've done everything expected of me to contribute to our society, but when I needed the Department for Work and Pensions, I haven't been able to access that. It left me reeling.\" After being out of work for 11 weeks, Betty has now received around five weeks' of benefits. Lots of her former Thomas Cook colleagues are in worse situations, telling us they have received nothing and have been poorly advised by their job centres. It stems from confusion over whether they are entitled to job seeker's allowance or universal credit as the tour operator's administration process remains ongoing. Take Ian Begg who worked as a cabin manager for 14 years. \"When we lost Thomas Cook we were just left to go out to pasture,\" he says. \"My treatment by the job centre has felt like I've been thrown out again. They made me feel not worthy of benefits.\" He was initially told to claim for universal credit which would have a five week processing time. During that five week period, he travelled to Manchester from his parents' house in Scotland for a weekly appointment at the job centre. However, a day before the first payment was due, his claim was cancelled because he had received a one-off payment from the liquidators of Thomas Cook. He was then advised he should have applied for job seeker's allowance. Mistakes mean claims being cancelled and long waits to recoup missed payments. Other former staff have worse stories to tell but are afraid to speak out in case it affects their benefits claims. Ian has worked all his life and, like Betty, expected to be able to access state support after he was made redundant. He's now given up, and is using his savings and support from his family to live on, before he starts a new job with another airline in 2020. Rebecca, another former Thomas Cook worker, was heavily pregnant when the firm collapsed. Any prospect of receiving maternity benefits from the company vanished, so she applied for state support. Eight weeks after applying, however, the claim was cancelled because she'd been sent the wrong paperwork. She's now waiting for a new application to be processed. \"Due to the stress of everything, and the lack of help, I have found myself on anti-depressants and unable to enjoy Christmas and time with my baby,\" she says. 'The system has failed us' Ian Begg says he too suffered mental health problems following the firm's failure. \"For about two weeks after the collapse, I couldn't even get dressed. I couldn't face the world and stayed indoors. I had anxiety and was depressed.\" Ian is managing to slowly move forwards, but many of his former colleagues are still having a tough time, he says, and the difficulties around accessing welfare support have made it worse. \"It's wrong, the system has failed us.\" Betty Knight is in contact with hundreds of former colleagues through Facebook and WhatsApp support groups. They are a close-knit community. One friend and her partner who both worked for Thomas Cook, say they were kicked out of their flat because the landlord knew they would struggle to pay the rent. They are now using their redundancy money to pay for a B&B. Betty says they feel trapped, unable to secure new accommodation or work. She reports other cases of former colleagues made homeless and living in shelters after landlords refused to allow them to stay on while they tried to find new employment. Some former Thomas Cook employees have fared better. Ian Houlihan was a Thomas Cook pilot for more than 20 years. \"I've been lucky, my job centre in Chorley has been great. I've had access to training. But my other colleagues have been treated appallingly.\" Lots of staff talk about the huge disparities between what is on offer between different job centres. Adele (not her real name) worked as cabin crew for 20 years. When she lost her job at Thomas Cook she was offered the opportunity of a job at Jet2, last week voted one of the UK's best airlines by Which? Magazine readers. But, in line with its recruitment policy, Jet2 charges the applicant £700 to train on a four-week Jet2 course. Trainees don't receive any pay while on the course and the applicant fronts all costs. They then have to pass exams at the end to be guaranteed a job. In some instances, job centres have given applicants £700 to complete this training but in other cases they have refused to pay. Adele says her job centre told her to borrow the money. \"How can I?\" she says. \"I've been out of work for 12 weeks.\" Jet2 said this was its standard recruitment process and would not comment further. The Department for Work and Pensions has apologised. \"We are sorry if people have experienced delayed payments and urge them to stay in contact with their job centre so we can urgently fix their claims. \"We know that losing a job is a distressing time for people. When Thomas Cook collapsed we were ready on day one to help the 11,000 people who lost their jobs. \"Our dedicated staff have helped thousands of those affected, including through home visits to those unable to reach the job centre and by fast-tracking applications so people are supported to find new work or training as soon as possible.\"",

The purchase comes after the city's Howe Barracks was snapped up by Redbridge Council. Canterbury says more than 2,000 local families cannot afford private prices. The council has been negotiating for the freehold of the 44 properties off Sturry Road which had provided bedsits for students in the city. It plans to convert them into 63 self-contained flats and houses in a £23m redevelopment which it says will help make inroads into its housing waiting list. The council says there are 2,401 households on its Housing Needs Register who are unable to afford private housing. But it says even the cheapest properties in its district are well out of the price range of the lowest-earning 25% of its residents. Negotiations for the Sturry Road deal were conducted in private to ensure London boroughs, which have been buying properties all over Kent to help solve their own housing problems, did not get in ahead of of the local authority. Council leader Simon Cook, who said he was confident the council did not overpay for the properties, said: \"We have had to keep this under wraps for fear of being gazumped by those with deeper pockets than our own.\" The new venture, which will be funded by council house sales, housing fund reserves and a £9m loan, will raise the number of homes provided by Canterbury Council for affordable housing since 2015 to 110.

            "input": "Trade body Oil and Gas UK says there is record investment this year of £13.5bn. But its annual report on the industry's economic impact highlights the sharp fall in output of 19% during 2011 and 14% in 2012. It says the industry's latest estimates of the continuing decline suggest a further fall of at least 8.5% during this year, with no recovery next year. Only from 2015 should the current high level of investment begin to have an impact on raising output. However, the level of investment will fall from £13.5bn this year to between £8bn and £10bn from 2015. 'Premature decommissioning' The annual report also raises concerns the cost of extracting the average barrel of oil is rising rapidly. The proportion extracted of each potential barrel of oil or its gas equivalent (boe) fell to 60% last year. Only seven years ago, the production efficiency rate was above 80%. Because of challenging geology and unplanned shutdowns on offshore platforms, the unit cost per barrel for extracting oil from British waters, known as the UK Continental Shelf (UKCS), has gone up four-fold over the past decade. This is described by UK Oil and Gas as \"a worrying trend that could have a major influence on the longevity of the UK Continental Shelf\". The cost differs across oil and gas fields. It can cost as little as £5 per boe, with an average cost rising to £13.50, but it can rise, in one case, to £70 per barrel, which is roughly what the barrel is worth on the market. Several fields now cost more than £40 per barrel to operate. \"Oil and Gas UK has found that much of the cost escalation is concentrated in a small number of fields, but the general trend for unit operating costs is rising markedly and this will not change unless the decline in production is reversed,\" says the report. \"If there were to be a fall in commodity prices, the more expensive assets would have to be shut down and could face premature decommissioning\". 'Worrying decline' Malcolm Webb, chief executive of Oil and Gas UK, said: \"There is much more that needs to be done. Despite impressive investment in new developments, the production efficiency of existing assets has been in worrying decline, with a number of fields failing to produce as expected. \"The Department of Energy and Climate Change (in Whitehall) and the industry are working to tackle this serious concern through a joint task group.\" Another group has been set up, led by industry veteran Sir Ian Wood, to take an independent look at the recovery of the UK's offshore oil and gas. In other data in this year's economic impact report, the industry body says it is supporting about 450,000 jobs. The report says the offshore sector generates almost £40bn a year, including £7bn in export earnings. Investment last year rose to £11.4bn, and during 2011 and 2012, the DECC gave approval for projects that will require £22bn of capital expenditure, yielding two billion barrels of production over time. Mr Webb said: \"The recent sharpening of focus within government and industry has given investors confidence.\" \"With 15 to 24 billion barrels of oil or the gas equivalent still remaining to be developed, the UKCS possesses great potential for contributing to economic growth for decades to come\". 'Volatile commodity' Political reaction to the latest figures focused on the level of investment and the implications for next year's independence referendum. Finance Secretary John Swinney said: \"In time, the record levels of investment that we are currently seeing will raise production, which will see the sector continue to make a significant contribution to the public finances. \"With up to 24 billion recoverable barrels with a potential wholesale value of £1.5 trillion, more than half of the resources in the North Sea, by value, still to be extracted, it is clear that the industry will make an important contribution to the Scottish economy for decades to come. \"This latest report suggests that the industry will be active beyond 2050\". The UK government's Energy and Climate Change Minister, Greg Barker, welcomed the report which he believed showed the industry in \"excellent health\". He added: \"The report shows the positive impact the government's fiscal policy has had on the UK Continental Shelf. \"Field allowances and providing certainty over decommissioning relief will unlock billions of pounds of investment that would otherwise not have taken place. \"The report makes it clear that the UK's targeted tax regime will help ensure that we maximise the economic production of the country's oil and gas reserves. \"The UK government can afford to provide this support, even at the expense of short-term revenues, because of the size and diversity of the UK economy.\"",

The British pension fund will also drop a claim against Kodak of £1.8bn, which was the current pension scheme's deficit. All of Kodak's personal film business, which includes 105,000 photo-kiosks around the world, souvenir photos at amusement parks and photographic paper, will now be owned by the UK pension fund. The document imaging business, which includes small scanners and printers, will also be part of the portfolio. \"This is the best possible deal for UK pensioners,\" said a spokesperson for the pension fund. \"Because Eastman Kodak was in Chapter 11 [US bankruptcy protection], the previous plan was unsustainable,\" he told the BBC. Film pioneer The deal will also prevent the Kodak pension scheme having to be rescued by the Pension Protection Fund (PPF), the safety net provided by the industry. Both businesses are currently profitable, producing annual revenues of more than £838m. Eastman Kodak was founded in New York in 1892 and pioneered the use of film in cameras. But it filed for bankruptcy protection in January 2012 after falling behind in the race to produce digital photographic equipment. The US company will continue to produce film for movie cameras, as well as commercial imaging and specialist chemical products. The deal with its British pension fund still has to be examined in the US courts. Eastman Kodak is filing the case on 30 April, which, if approved, would allow it to exit from bankruptcy. The case is the latest innovation amongst pension schemes, which are seeking new ways to counter large deficits.

The \"umbrella revolution\" has become a protest art phenomenon online. Along with a yellow ribbon, it has become an unofficial icon of Hong Kong's street protests. When it rains... Open your umbrellas, is the advice Hong Kong protesters have been spreading. The image of demonstrators in a cloud holding up their umbrellas against the pepper spray or tear gas moved many on social media to comment. Over the last few years Hong Kong artist Kacey Wong has followed protest art as the people of Hong Kong began taking to the streets more often. On Monday morning, after a night which saw more tear gas and clashes, he issued a call-out on his Facebook page for artists to come up with designs for Hong Kong's #Umbrella revolution. It was his belief that contemporary art is a clear platform for participation and advocacy and the designs poured in. \"I was inspired by seeing people defend themselves with domestic props. The contrast was so marked. On the one side there was police brutality and on the other side there were these poor umbrellas,\" Mr Wong told the BBC. \"The umbrella has been transformed from a normal every day object to a symbol of defiance, a symbol of resistance.\" For him, the internet has liberated the movement beyond the streets of Hong Kong: \"You don't have to be in a specific place at a specific time. Technology means so many more people can join in this protest.\" Charlie Campbell of TIME shared this image of umbrellas on the streets of Hong Kong on Twitter. And James Fallows in the Atlantic Monthly published a message from a reader in Hong Kong: \"When we felt threatened, we opened umbrellas and raised our hands.\" Tie a yellow ribbon... Hong Kongers have taken up Tony Orlando and Dawn's song to Tie a Yellow Ribbon Round the Ole Oak Tree and on Facebook people have been changing their profile pictures to a yellow ribbon against a black background. Instagram user natsushimo posted an image of a yellow ribbon tied around a banister at Hong Kong Baptist University. Students not attending the protest and working at school are also reported to be wearing yellow ribbons. So many options to follow Hong Kongers have an embarrassment of hashtags to follow for those interested in getting updates from the streets or expressing solidarity. #UmbrellaMovement is one hashtag that many believe will emerge as a leader. But others inspiring people to comment are #yellowribbon. The Twitter account for the Chinese University of Hong Kong journalism course tweeted an image of a yellow ribbon being tied around a drone before it sets flight. #OccupyHK was also being used by demonstrators. Dates have also proved popular #926 was trending and it had a tumblr and Facebook presence too - it refers to the date protests kicked off.

For the few hours he was let out during the day, he saw fellow prisoners having epileptic seizures, and a prisoner taking his own life. He battled ulcer pains and received little medical help. \"He has lived in sub-human conditions under perpetual fear of death for several years,\" two doctors who examined the young man reported. The six - Ambadas Laxman Shinde, Bapu Appa Shinde, Ankush Maruti Shinde, Rajya Appa Shinde, Raju Mhasu Shinde and Suresh Nagu Shinde - were aged between 17 and 30 when they were convicted for murdering five members of a family of guava pickers in an orchard in Nashik in the western state of Maharashtra in 2003. Ankush Maruti, who was 17, was the youngest. Falsely implicated The Shindes are nomadic tribespeople and among India's poorest. They dig earth, pick rubbish, clean drains and work on other people's farms for a living. Seven judges in three courts over 13 years had found them guilty. And they were all wrong. When the Supreme Court overturned the convictions it was a landmark judgment. For the first time in its history, India's top court had thrown out its own death penalty verdict. The judges said the men had been falsely implicated and the courts had committed a grave error. They said there had been no \"fair investigation and fair trial\", and the rights of the accused had been violated. \"We strongly deprecate the conduct of the police and the prosecution,\" the judges added in an extraordinary 75-page verdict. \"The real culprits had gone free.\" The Supreme Court's exoneration of the men happened a decade after it had dismissed their appeals. The judges said there had been \"sheer negligence or culpable lapses\" in investigating the case and said action should be taken against erring police officials. Compensation of 500,000 rupees ($7,176; £5,696) was awarded to each of the men, to be paid within a month, and to be used for their \"rehabilitation\". (That's 2,600 rupees for every month lost in prison.) When I visited the six men - two of them are brothers and the rest, cousins - recently in Bhokardan, an arid, drought-hit village in Jalna district, in Maharashtra, they were struggling with depression and anxiety. The compensation money had still not arrived. Death row, they said, had distorted their sense of time, numbed their senses, slowed them down, and made it difficult to return to work. They continued to suffer from high blood pressure, sleeplessness, diabetes and complained of failing eyesight. Days passed in a haze of cheap alcohol. Some of them were on sleeping pills and anti-depressants. \"I take half-a-dozen pills every day, and still feel weak. I go to the doctor and he puts me on a saline drip to keep me moving,\" Bapu Appa Shinde, 49, said. \"Prison kills you slowly and stealthily. When you get out, freedom becomes painful.\" When the men went to prison, their wives and children were forced to work, cleaning drains and wells and collecting rubbish. Most of the children did not go to school. In a region strangled by years of drought, there was very little farm work available. Nothing, say the men, will compensate for the tragic costs of incarceration for their families. In 2008, Bapu Appa's 15-year-old son, Raju, was electrocuted after the spade he was using to dig a ditch came in contact with a live cable. \"He was the smartest child in the family. He wouldn't have been working in the streets if I was not in prison.\" When Bapu Appa and his brother Rajya Appa returned from the prison, they found their decrepit family home reduced to a heap of rubble. Their families were sleeping in the open under a tree and in an abandoned single-storey government building. Their children had built a tin shack to welcome their fathers. \"We are now free but homeless,\" Rajya Appa said. The wife of Rajya Appa Shinde - they were married three months before he was picked up by the police - left him for another man 12 years ago without telling him. \"She came to see me in prison 12 days before she went off with another man. She didn't tell me she was leaving. Maybe she was under pressure from her family,\" he says. He remarried recently. Two of the men lost their parents, who suffered from heart attacks when they heard the news that their sons had been sent to death row. Their impoverished families would travel, often without tickets, to Nagpur for brief prison meetings. \"If the ticket collector caught us, we would tell them our husbands are in prison, we are poor, we have no money. Sometimes they would throw us off the train, sometimes they would show mercy. There is no dignity when you are poor,\" Rani Shinde, one of the wives, said. \"Everything was stolen from us. Our lives, livelihoods. We lost everything for something we didn't do,\" said Raju Shinde. The six men were found guilty of killing five members of the same family in a hut in a guava orchard in Nashik on the night of 5 June 2003. Nashik is more than 300km (186 miles) away from where the Shindes lived. Two members of the family - a man and his mother - survived the attack. They told the police that \"seven to eight\" men carrying knives, sickles and sticks entered the hut, which had no electricity. They spoke in Hindi, and said they had come from Mumbai. They turned up the volume of music which was playing on a battery-operated cassette player and demanded the family turn over their money and jewellery. According to the two eyewitnesses, they turned over money and jewellery worth 6,500 rupees to the men. The attackers drank liquor and then attacked them, killing five, including two women. One of the dead women was raped. The victims were aged between 13 and 48. The police found the blood splattered bodies next morning. They picked up cassette tapes, a wooden stump, a sickle, and 14 pairs of sandals from the hut. They also collected blood stains and picked up prints. The day after the murder the police took a photo album of local criminals from their records and showed it to the woman who had survived the attack and become a prime eyewitness. She identified four men, aged 19-35, from the album and told a magistrate that they had killed her family members. \"They were local criminals and were in the police records,\" a lawyer said. The police and the prosecution, according to the Supreme Court, \"suppressed this evidence\" and did not pick up the four men. Instead, three weeks later, they picked up the Shindes who lived far away and, as it transpired later, had never visited Nashik. The men say they were tortured in custody - given \"electric shocks and beatings\" - and forced to sign confessions. And in a bizarre twist which eventually sealed their fates, the woman eyewitness now \"identified\" the Shindes as the murderers in a police line-up where people are identified by witnesses from a row of suspects. In 2006, the trial court found the six men guilty of murders and sentenced them to death. Four different police officers led the investigations and the prosecution examined 25 witnesses. Over the next decade and more, the high court in Bombay and the Supreme Court upheld the convictions. India's top court actually restored the death penalty of three men, after the Bombay High Court had commuted them to life sentence. The courts ignored a mountain of evidence which proved that the Shindes were not linked to the killings. The prints found in the hut and outside didn't match them. Blood and DNA samples were taken from the brothers, but the prosecution never presented the results in the court. \"It seems the results did not incriminate the accused,\" the judges said in March, while freeing the men. No stolen property was found from them. The eyewitnesses had told the police that the assailants spoke in Hindi, but the Shindes spoke the Marathi language. Mumbai-based lawyer Yug Chaudhry looked at the evidence - or the lack of it - and fought a decade-long battle to keep the six men alive. He filed clemency petitions on their behalf to the governor, the president and the advocate general. He got former judges to write a letter to the president of India, requesting him to commute to life the death sentences of 13 men, including the Shindes. The judges wrote that \"execution of persons wrongly sentenced to death would severely undermine the credibility of the criminal justice system\". Sixteen years after the unresolved crime, there remain a number of vexing unanswered questions. How did the courts find the Shindes guilty and sentence them to death on the basis of dodgy eyewitness identification and nothing else? Lawyers say since this was a \"heinous crime\", the judges were under pressure from the public and the media, who were demanding a quick closure. Why did the police not arrest and investigate the four men in their files who were initially identified by the eyewitness? There is no explanation, the Supreme Court said. Why did eyewitnesses change tack and end up identifying the wrong men? Was it a case of memory lapse or mistaken identity? Or were they coerced by the police? Nobody quite knows. Most importantly, why did the police pick up six innocent men, living more than 300km away, and implicate them in the murder? 'Special surveillance' Lawyers say the Shindes were framed because they were poor, nomadic tribes-people, who were once considered a \"criminal tribe\" under a controversial colonial law which targeted caste groups considered to be hereditary criminals. India's police manual explicitly says such communities should be kept under \"special surveillance\" and that their members be treated as \"suspicious characters\". Also, three of the men had been framed before in another murder which had happened a month before the Nashik killings - the courts found them innocent and freed them in 2014. The three judges who acquitted the men appeared to agree. \"The accused are nomadic tribes coming from the lower strata of society and are very poor labourers. Therefore, false implication cannot be ruled out since it is common occurrence that in serious offences innocent people are roped in,\" they wrote in the verdict. In the end, the fate that befell the Shindes underscores the weakness of India's criminal justice system and how heavily it is loaded against the poor. \"The suffering inflicted on them shows the perils of having the death penalty in the midst of such an error-prone criminal justice system,\" says Anup Surendranath, who teaches law at the Delhi-based National Law University. \"If three courts, including the apex court, could not spot the illegalities perpetrated by the investigating authorities in framing six innocent men, then there is no reasonable way to hold the position that we have a criminal justice system capable of having the death penalty,\" he adds. India has some 400 people on the death row. Photographs by Mansi Thapliyal",

Her pregnancy was discovered two weeks ago when she complained of stomach ache and her parents took her to hospital. A lower court had earlier turned down her plea on similar grounds. Without disclosing the details of the medical report, the judges on Friday ruled that termination was \"not good for the girl\". They have asked the government-run Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research hospital in the northern city of Chandigarh to ensure that proper medical care is provided to her. The top court has also suggested that the Indian government set up a permanent medical board in each state to take prompt decisions in such cases. On Monday, the Supreme Court had ordered doctors to evaluate whether the girl could undergo abortion safely. The court order came after lawyer Alakh Alok Srivastava filed a public interest petition saying doctors who had already examined the girl found her pelvic bones had not fully developed because of her age and the life of both mother and baby were at \"very serious risk\". \"Medical experts have categorically opined that if the 10-year-old is forced to give birth, either through normal delivery or even through caesarean-section, it may be fatal to the life of the rape survivor as well as to her child,\" the petition said. The girl belongs to an extremely poor family, her father is a government employee and mother works as a domestic helper. The girl alleges she was raped several times in the past seven months by her uncle, who has been arrested. Her pregnancy was only recently discovered because she herself was unaware of her condition. Indian law does not allow terminations after 20 weeks unless doctors confirm the mother's life is in danger. The scale of abuse in India Sources: Indian government, Unicef The tough law against abortion was introduced in 1971 to prevent illegal and unsafe abortions and curb maternal mortality. The restrictions remain an important weapon in India's fight against a skewed gender ratio which has resulted from a deep-seated cultural preference for sons. Millions of female foetuses have been aborted over the years by pregnant women after undergoing foetal gender testing. In recent years, Indian courts have received several petitions, many from child rape survivors, seeking to terminate pregnancies after 20 weeks, the BBC's Geeta Pandey in Delhi says. In most such cases, the pregnancy is not even discovered until after the 20-week period is over because the children are themselves unaware of their condition, our correspondent adds. In May, a court in Haryana state asked medical experts to comment on a similar plea and a panel of doctors decided to carry out a termination. Medical experts say girls can start menstruating and ovulating at nine, but their bodies are not mature enough for pregnancy at that age. India is home to the largest number of sexually abused children globally, with some campaigners saying it has reached epidemic proportions. But there is a general reluctance to talk about the problem and it is rarely discussed in public. Studies have shown that in large numbers of cases the abusers are known to the children and include care-givers like parents, relatives and teachers.",

In its report titled \"Not Safe at Home\", the rights group documented 56 cases of violence in which victims reported they were targeted because of their actual or perceived sexual orientation or identity. It called on the Jamaican government to strike down anti-sodomy laws and take measures to protect LGBT Jamaicans from discrimination and violence. \"In the past decade the Jamaican police have taken some steps to address the scourge of homophobic violence, but clearly these steps are not enough,\" said Graeme Reid, LGBT rights director at Human Rights Watch. \"So long as discriminatory laws remain in place, piecemeal measures will never be adequate. \"The authorities from the prime minister on down need to call a halt to the violence and discrimination, prosecute anyone responsible, and get homophobic laws off the books,\" Mr Reid added. Jamaica is among many English-speaking Caribbean nations with anti-sodomy laws. The report also documented cases of discrimination by government institutions, including health care facilities and in the private sector. \"Families and neighbours often drive LGBT people from their homes and communities. \"Landlords refuse to rent to LGBT people; health providers stigmatise them when they seek services; and employers arbitrarily fire them,\" the rights group said in a press release.

Democrats in the Senate compromised over the issue of federal unemployment benefit, lowering it from $400 to $300 a week but extending it to 6 September. The Senate's final vote on the package is expected in the coming days. \"Now that this agreement has reached, we are going to power through the rest of this process and get this bill done,\" Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer predicted. Mr Biden's Democrats and their allies have an effective majority in the evenly split Senate due to Vice-President Kamala Harris's casting vote. But the tiny margin means they need every Democratic senator to support their plans. America's worst public health crisis in a century has left nearly 523,000 people dead and 29 million infected, with a current unemployment rate of 6.2%. Why was unemployment benefit a sticking point? When the Democrat-controlled House of Representatives passed the bill last week, it called for a $400 weekly federal top-up of unemployment benefits to last until 29 August. However, moderate Democratic Senator Joe Manchin objected on the grounds that the huge bill might overheat the economy. It took 11 hours of negotiation to come up with the deal. \"We have reached a compromise that enables the economy to rebound quickly while also protecting those receiving unemployment benefits,\" Sen Manchin said. The amendment was adopted by 50 votes to 49. While Republicans broadly backed the two previous stimulus plans, passed when they controlled both the White House and the Senate under Donald Trump, they have criticised the cost of Mr Biden's bill.

With the vote tally of the incumbent candidate, President Dilma Rousseff, only eight percentage points ahead of her centre-right rival Aecio Neves, the paper says: \"Dilma can celebrate her lead, but the alarm bells don't stop ringing.\" 'No easy win' A commentator for Correio Braziliense daily, Luis Carlo Azedo, says re-election is now \"not so easy\" for Ms Rousseff, as the gap between her and Mr Neves is \"relatively small\". One reason Ms Rousseff is not comfortably ahead is that she can't count on the support of Ms Silva in the second round. The O Dia daily says that the fight to win the votes of Ms Silva's supporters will \"heat up the campaign\". Papers such as the popular O Globo and Folha de Sao Paulo suggest that Ms Silva has effectively signalled support for Mr Neves in the second round by saying most Brazilians voted \"against the status quo\" and that \"one cannot quibble with the feelings of 60% of electors\". The O Globo daily quotes unnamed persons \"close to Silva\" as saying that there is \"no possibility of an alliance\" with President Rousseff after the heated words the two candidates exchanged on the campaign trail. 'Lula's shadow' One factor noted by the press is the popularity of the ruling Workers' Party led by Ms Rousseff in the country's north-east - the poorest of the six regions, where social programmes introduced by the party are seen as offering a lifeline to many. Ricardo Melo calls the Workers' Party \"Lula's party\", referring to the influential former president and one of the founders of the party, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva. Writing in Folha de Sao Paulo, Melo says the \"hegemony\" of the ruling party shines through despite its inconsistent showing in the regions. The papers also discuss the possible effect on the second round of another important background figure: the widow of Eduardo Campos, the Socialist presidential candidate killed in a plane crash, who was replaced by Ms Silva. Mario Simas Filho says in the weekly news magazine Isto É. that \"the presence of Renata Campos at Aecio's side is important in order for [Neves] to increase his presence in the north-east, a region where President Dilma has a huge advantage\". 'Frustrations' \"Amid the din of advertising and poll statistics, the frustrations of June 2013 continue unanswered,\" says an editorial in Folha de Sao Paulo editorial, recalling the protests of 2013 when unhappiness over the cost of public services, corruption and controversy about hosting the World Cup boiled over into large street demonstrations. Ricardo Melo criticizes the administration of the current government as doing a \"lot less than it should\", reflecting a perception among some people that the Workers' Party has failed to make a real difference in improving social mobility. Commentator Joao Bosco Rabello says the elections could be decided in Sao Paulo, where the mass of voters could neutralise Ms Rousseff's advantage in the north-east. Writing in O Estado de Sao Paulo, he says support in Sao Paulo for Mr Neves is running at almost two to one.

The reforms would include squeezing the public sector, reforming the budget, privatising state-owned companies and expanding the private sector. He announced his candidacy for the largely-ceremonial presidency in February 2017, and won a comfortable victory in the first round in April, taking office the following month. Prime minister: Ana Brnabic Ana Brnabic made history as the first female and first openly gay prime minister of Serbia when she took office in June 2017. She succeeded Aleksandar Vucic after he assumed the presidency, having served in his government as minister of public administration and local self-government. Ms Brnabic is non-party, and has a background in local government development. She has continued the policies of Aleksandar Vucic's pro-EU administration. MEDIA Television is, by far, the main source of news and information. The flagship public network, RTS1, is among a handful of outlets that dominate the market. There are more than 90 TV channels and the average viewer spends more than five hours a day watching television, the highest figure in Europe. Six TV stations are licensed to broadcast nationally; 30 have regional licences. The national TV broadcasters attract around 70 per cent of the audience. RTS1 is the most popular channel in Serbia, attracting up to a quarter of the audience and providing strong competition for commercial stations, including leading commercial network TV Pink.

Eisteddfod chief executive Elfed Roberts said: \"This year we have focused a lot on improving the welcome and the experience of coming to the festival itself. \"In the past much of the work has been associated with trying to attract visitors to the festival, especially in recent years, with the eisteddfod held in areas which are new to us, but this year, it's an opportunity for us to address the maes itself and the experience during the week.\" He said the children's literary Festival aimed to appeal to youngsters of all ages and it would be be the first time the eisteddfod had staged a festival within the festival. Mr Roberts said the new initiative would see activities spread all over the eisteddfod field, or maes, to ensure children could enjoy the culture offered by the event. \"Although the literature festival is an experiment this year we hope it will be something that will develop and grow over the years,\" he added. Around 300 stands and exhibition spaces will also be on the maes, while music, science, sport, culture and the arts will be celebrated.

Instead, in 1990 Japan's stock market and property market both crashed spectacularly, leaving two decades (and counting) of economic stagnation in their wake.

So much so that by the weekend, the hashtag #GoHomeIndianMedia became a top social media trend in Nepal with tens of thousands of tweets on the subject. People complained that the coverage had been insensitive and jingoistic, among other things. \"Your media and media personnel are acting like they are shooting some kind of family serials,\" wrote an anguished Sunita Shakya of Nepali origin in her blog. \"If your media person can reach to the places where the relief supplies have not reached, at this time of crisis can't they take a first-aid kit or some food supplies with them as well?\" There are stories aplenty of how the Indian media - mainly the news channels - have covered the quake. A reporter seized a wounded survivor and paraded her in front of the cameras rather than putting some cloth to stop the bleeding. Another one asked a woman whose only son was buried under a wreck, \"How do you feel?\". Yet another kept asking rescue workers what technology they were using at work. In a quake-hit village, a reporter worked up a veritable hysteria, asking affected villagers what their government was actually doing for them. \"Our media\", tweeted India's former minister Shashi Tharoor, \"continues to embarrass and dismay India.\" To be true, nobody in Nepal denies that India's response to the tragedy has been fleet-footed and enormously helpful. It has also rightfully earned a lot of praise. India is leading the search-and-rescue efforts with 704 personnel on the ground, followed by China (168), Bangladesh (140) and the US (120). But the grumbling noises in Nepal began before the backlash against the media. There has been some discontent over the unsurprising access that Indian media were getting on the relief sorties being run by the Indian air force planes. Many in Nepal believe that the air force was more interested in rescuing stranded Indians rather than helping evacuate quake affected people. There were allegations that the air force planes had virtually taken control of the airport, thus slowing down other international aid efforts. Also many in Nepal feel that the \"outsized\" coverage of the Indian effort had put to shade heroic efforts made by the Nepalese army, its armed police and the beleaguered local officials who have tried their best to work in very difficult circumstances. \"India, anyway, is often criticised in Nepal for the involvement of its government in Nepal's internal politics,\" says Kathmandu-based senior editor Yubaraj Ghimire. The growing backlash against the India media has added fuel to the ire. Nepalese people watch a lot of Indian TV which is freely available in the country. They are also prolific on social media. As a friend in Kathmandu says, the Nepalese are used to watching shrill and jingoistic prime time talk shows on some Indian news channels usually excoriating Pakistan. Suddenly, with scores of Indian TV reporters flooding Nepal in the aftermath of the quake, the Nepalese, he says, find themselves at the receiving end of similar jingoism. One biting cartoon showed a TV reporter in the pocket of a gleeful Indian soldier posing with a box screaming Aid for Nepal. \"The shrillness, jingoism, exaggerations, boorishness and sometimes mistakes in coverage have rankled the host community,\" Kanak Mani Dixit, editor of the highly respected Himal Southasian magazine, tells me. Part of the problem, say many, is possibly the fact that many Indian media organisations have stopped investing in neighbourhood coverage. As news become intensely local, coverage has turned more inwards, and Indian media houses have a negligible presence in Afghanistan, Bangladesh, and Nepal. (It is difficult for an Indian journalist to travel to Pakistan and vice versa.) So when hordes of young Indian journalists from hundreds of news TV channels are flung into covering a big news event in the neighbourhood, the deficiencies show. For many, says a senior Kathmandu-based editor, the first stop is the Indian embassy to pick up the cues that often end up colouring the coverage. Also, many say, Indian media's overdependence on access-based journalism means that a disproportionate amount of coverage often ends up on eulogising how their government and its agencies handle crises - there was similar criticism of the media's coverage of flood-affected people in the Kashmir Valley last year. Some channels also pretty openly identify themselves with the ruling government and the bias is amply reflected in the coverage. \"The mainly social media backlash in Nepal does point to an irritation of local people with the way their tragedy has been covered by India,\" says Kanak Mani Dixit. \"It is possibly time now for India's news channel to introspect and give some due respect to the host country.\" There are mounting worries at home over the declining quality of Indian media and what many call the \"tabloidization of news\". Also, more disturbingly, as Prannoy Roy, chief of India's leading NDTV news channel worries, \"Why is India becoming 'no country for honest journalism'?\"",

High Court Chief Justice Susan Kiefel said recommendations from the inquiry had been adopted. Lawyers for Mr Heydon, who retired in 2013, have \"categorically\" denied the allegations to Australian media. They stressed that the investigation was an \"internal administrative inquiry... conducted without having statutory powers of investigation\". Mr Heydon joined the High Court as a judge in 2003. What did the court say? Its investigation was carried out by Dr Vivienne Thom, a former inspector-general of intelligence and security for Australia's federal government. Commenting on its findings, Chief Justice Kiefel said: \"We are ashamed that this could have happened at the High Court of Australia.\" The findings were of \"extreme concern\" to all current members of the bench and their staff, she said. \"We have made a sincere apology to the six women whose complaints were borne out,\" she added. \"We know it would have been difficult to come forward. Their accounts of their experiences at the time have been believed.\" Lawyers representing the six women welcomed the High Court's statement on the findings, Australian broadcaster ABC reports. \"Its response to this situation since we wrote to the court last year has been exemplary,\" lawyer Josh Bornstein said. \"The court has also implemented a range of reforms to improve the policies and procedures of the court to ensure young associates are not exposed.\" What were the allegations? Details of the report's findings were not released by the High Court but, according to the Sydney Morning Herald newspaper, the investigation found evidence which \"demonstrates a tendency by Mr Heydon to engage in a pattern of conduct of sexual harassment\". One of Mr Heydon's former associates, Rachael Patterson Collins, told the paper his \"actions had real and terrible consequences\" which had led her to abandon her plans to become a barrister. Chelsea Tabart, another former associate, said she too had left the law because \"the culture was broken from the top down\". She felt, the paper said, that she would not be safe \"from powerful men like Mr Heydon even if I reported them\". The Herald conducted its own investigation into the judge and published detailed allegations of sexual harassment. One unnamed current judge is quoted as saying Mr Heydon \"slid his hand between her thighs at a professional law dinner\". \"He indecently assaulted me,\" she told the paper. \"I have no doubt it was a crime and he knew I was not consenting.\" Through his lawyers, Mr Heydon denied \"emphatically any allegation of sexual harassment or any offence\". Who is Dyson Heydon? Now aged 77, he was appointed to the High Court bench in 2003 and served until he reached the mandatory retirement age of 70 in 2013. In 2014, he was appointed to run the federal government's royal commission into alleged corruption in the trade union movement. His lawyers said: \"In respect of the confidential inquiry and its subsequent confidential report, any allegation of predatory behaviour or breaches of the law is categorically denied by our client.\" \"Our client,\" they added, \"says that if any conduct of his has caused offence, that result was inadvertent and unintended, and he apologises for any offence caused.\"",

As the summer holidays get under way, the list sets out the stories for pupils to read before they move on from primary school. Classic stories In the top 10, teachers have selected two Roald Dahl stories - Matilda as well as Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. There are also a couple of traditional classics, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll and The Chronicles of Narnia by CS Lewis. Top 10 children's books to read before leaving primary school: Jonathan Brunskill, a teacher at Keys Meadow Primary School in Enfield, London, told the TES that the selection reflected how favourite children's books often had dark and unsettling themes. \"I've always found that children are attracted to dark stories, Roald Dahl being the obvious example,\" he said. 'Mediating emotions' Psychologist and former teacher Tim O'Brien told the magazine: \"Rather than talking to a child about how they feel about the death of their favourite pet, a parent could make a conscious choice to read a book with a relevant plot instead. \"In this way, stories with dark themes and contexts can be a tool for mediating thoughts and emotions.\" TES editor Ann Mroz said many of the books chosen by teachers, in this top 10 and a further top 100 list, are \"not full of joy and mirth but are instead dark and full of horror - tales of ferocious monsters, abuse, abandonment and even death\". \"Not what you'd think the average primary child would want to read.

'Workable solution' The panel, made up of clinical experts from across the UK, did not support cost-cutting by shifting accident and emergency care to hospitals in other cities. It said the move would result in a \"significant inequality\" in service provision for Worcestershire residents. The planned emergency centre would bring together a \"24hr ambulance-receiving emergency department for adults and a 24hr GP-led urgent care centre with a minor injuries unit for children and adults at the Alexandra Hospital\", it added. Children and adults with more serious conditions would then be transferred for specialist care at Worcester's Royal Hospital, they said.

He needed a transplant from his sister after suffering left kidney failure while donating his right kidney. Portsmouth hospitals trust said it had investigated the 2008 operation. It said there was a unique set of \"unfortunate circumstances\". Health chiefs disputed the \"potentially enormous\" compensation involved, after the patient, who cannot be named for legal reasons, claimed £14m. 'Life shortened' The surgeon, Kamal Abusin, no longer works at the hospital and faces proceedings before the General Medical Council. Judge Mr Justice Spencer said the consequences for the patient, described as a dynamic and hard-working professional, had been catastrophic. The court heard the father of two's life had been shortened by about 10 years and he had to suffer the trauma of dialysis, considerable health problems and the prospect of future deterioration with the inevitability of another transplant. He was in his mid-30s at the time of the operation at the Queen Alexandra hospital in Portsmouth. Representing the family, Elizabeth-Anne Gumbel QC said the patient had wanted to give his father a better quality of life in retirement. \"The donation of the kidney was successfully achieved but at a great cost to the claimant who, during the course of the operation, suffered torrential, life-threatening haemorrhaging,\" she said. Ruling that the patient's identity should not be disclosed, the judge said the circumstances were so exceptional that his naming would be likely to have a devastating effect on the family.

This is the most competitive year for university admissions for a decade, Ucas says. Some 660,000 students have applied to university. In 2009 just 482,000 students got places. More places are on offer this year, but the numbers are capped and universities face fines for over-recruiting.

Hundreds of thousands of students in England, Wales and Northern Ireland are getting the results of their A-levels and AS-levels.

Research from exams regulator Ofqual had predicted that 7% of students would get an A*. This year is also the first year when students took four modules in an A-level instead of six, answering \"stretch and challenge\" questions designed to allow them to demonstrate their knowledge fully. The results showed girls were more likely than boys to get an A* overall, although this is reversed in science and maths. According to the exam boards, which released the results, boys are generally closing the gap at the A grades. A total of 8.3% of A-levels taken by girls were awarded the new A* grade, compared with 7.9% of those from boys. Students from independent schools were proportionately more likely to get an A*. They took some 30% of A*s awarded, although they make up only 14% of entries. Candidates from comprehensive schools, which account for 43% of A-level entries, gained 30% of the A* grades awarded. Further education and sixth-form colleges, which enter 30% of candidates, saw students receive a fifth (20%) of A*s awarded. Science and maths resurgence The highest percentage of A*s was awarded in further maths at 29.9%. The lowest was in media, film and TV studies at 1.8%. Across the subjects, science has seen a resurgence this year with biology entries up 4.3%, chemistry up 3.7% and physics up by 5.2%. The numbers taking maths continued to rise with an extra 4,526 entries, and an extra 1,209 for further maths. But modern foreign language entries continue to fall, with the numbers entering for French down 3.4% and German down 3.8%. Going against the trend is Spanish, which has seen a 4% increase. The results show that traditional subjects remain firm favourites with students, with English, maths, biology and history - as well as psychology - the most popular choices this year. But despite record successes, many candidates face disappointment over university places. Applications this year are already up by 12% on last year's record level, with the numbers bolstered by those re-applying after not securing a place last year. Many universities have warned that they will have far fewer, if any, places available through \"clearing\" than usual. Universities minister David Willetts said there were 18,000 courses with places available in clearing this year. Last year almost 48,000 students found places through this system, which matches available university places to students who did not get the grades they needed for their first choices. University admissions service Ucas says competition for places is intense. Chief executive Mary Curnock Cook said: \"Thousands of applicants whose places have been confimed today deserve congratulations for this achievement in perhaps the most competitive year for HE admissions in the last 10 years.\" She said the body had now processed all A-level results and that more than 8,000 more students had been placed on courses in the UK than at the same time last year. A record 379,411 applicants had already been accepted into university or college. But another 180,00 students (26.8% of total applicants) are eligible for clearing, Ucas says. This is because they either have not got the grades they needed for their chosen courses, had no offers to start with or applied late. At this point last year, about 135,000 were in this position - 22.2% of the total applicants. 'Uncertain future' National Union of Students president Aaron Porter said: \"With youth unemployment pushing one million, savage education funding cuts and arbitrary limits on places, the government is at risk of imposing poverty of opportunity on a generation of young people facing a very uncertain future.\" Universities Minister David Willetts congratulated students on their results and said that those who did not get the offer of a university place had other good options. \"It is a very exciting time for all those who receive their results today and I congratulate everyone on their hard work and hope they got the results they need to fulfil their aspirations. \"There are more university places than ever before and already 380,000 applicants have got confirmed places at university. For those who have sadly not done as well they hoped, there are places available in clearing. \"Of course, university is not the only route into well-paid and fulfilling work. That is why we are also investing so much in Further Education and 50,000 extra high-quality apprenticeships.\" Scottish students received the results of their Highers and Standard Grade exams earlier this month. The overall pass rate for Highers was up slightly - to 74.6% - creating a new record. A small number of students in Scotland opt to study A-levels. Half of Scotland's universities have already said their courses are full.",

Mrs May allowed some checks on European travellers to be relaxed but says Mr Clark went further in scaling back checks, without her approval. Labour say it is \"shocking\" she cannot say how many airports relaxed checks. It is understood Mr Clark is discussing his position with union officials from the First Division Association, which represents senior civil servants. Questioned about the row by MPs on the Commons home affairs committee, Mrs May said she had not told the Cabinet of her decision to allow officials to relax checks on some European travellers arriving in the UK. The \"limited\" pilot was an \"operational matter\", she said, which \"did not in any way put border security at risk\". The idea was that at busy times, it was safer to carry out \"intelligence-led\" checks on suspicious passengers rather than mandatory checks on all passengers, including those who were \"low risk\", she said. Labour committee member David Winnick told her that the relaxation of controls meant that \"presumably thousands\" of people had been allowed in to the UK who \"may well have been stopped if the proper procedures\" had been stuck to. He suggested ministers should take full responsibility for a \"major blunder\" on their watch and asked if there was any question of Mrs May resigning - to which the home secretary responded: \"No.\" Mrs May said there were other procedures which prevented people from arriving illegally in the UK - including the e-Borders programme and the identification of potential threats by UK officers overseas. She said she would take responsibility for the authorised pilot - which she suggested had led to a 10% increase in the detection of illegal immigrants - but Mr Clark must \"take full responsibility for his actions\". Mrs May said the pilot scheme had been made available across all ports but was \"not necessarily used at all ports\" - where exactly they had been used would be determined by the inquiries she had authorised. She was asked about a paragraph in a leaked document from the UKBA, entitled \"Trial of risk based processes at the border\" and dated 28 July, which suggested that \"if for whatever reason it is considered necessary to take further measures, beyond those listed above, local managers must escalate to the Border Force Duty Director to seek authority for their proposed action\". 'Not acceptable' Mrs May said that paragraph related to health and safety concerns dating back to 2007 - where there were so many people queuing that there were safety concerns for them - that allowed officers to go to \"level two checks\" - similar to those authorised by her pilot - to ease the crush. Giving evidence to the liaison committee of senior MPs, Prime Minister David Cameron said there had been \"activity going on by the UK Border Agency that was not acceptable\". But Labour shadow home secretary Yvette Cooper said it was \"shocking\" Mrs May was unable to say how many airports had relaxed checks over the summer - even under her own pilot scheme, which she authorised. She said Mrs May should publish the guidance given to the UK Borders Agency and what information it provided to the Home Office. \"There is still a massive gap between what the home secretary is saying and what the guidance going out to Border Agency staff, even on her own so-called pilot, actually said,\" Ms Cooper said. \"It's a deep concern that what we have got is the home secretary blaming the officials a lot but still not being able to provide us with answers to the questions she should have asked.\" Brodie Clark, head of the UK Border Force, is among three staff suspended. Mrs May has announced there will be three inquiries, the main one led by the Chief Inspector of the UK Border Agency, John Vine. Mr Clark and Rob Whiteman, the UKBA chief executive, are to be called in front of the home affairs committee to answer questions about the matter. The home secretary has said the pilot scheme she authorised was to be used \"under limited circumstances\". It allowed border officials to use discretion to judge when to open the biometric chip on the passports of people from within the European Union, to check a second secure photograph. Checks were also relaxed on children from the EU who were travelling with their parents or as part of a school group, under \"limited circumstances\". However Mrs May said biometric checks on European nationals and warnings index checks on children from the EU \"were abandoned on a regular basis\" and the same checks on people from outside the European Economic Area (EEA) \"are also thought to have been abandoned on occasions\". Mrs May added that adults were not checked against the \"warnings index\" watch list at Calais, and also that fingerprinting of people from outside the European Economic Area who required a visa, was stopped. Downing Street defended Mrs May's decision to pilot the relaxation of or border controls for EU nationals, calling it a \"sensible thing to do\" but Labour has accused her of giving \"the green light for weaker controls\". Labour and unions have claimed that staff shortages - due to cuts to the UKBA - are at the root of the problems. Some 5,000 posts are due to go by 2015 as part of wider government cost-saving measures.",

Canada has responded by saying it \"will continue to advocate for human rights\". Those held include the Saudi-American human rights campaigner Samar Badawi, sister of jailed blogger Raif Badawi. Canada's Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland said she was \"deeply concerned\" by the diplomat's expulsion, but added: \"Canada will always stand up for the protection of human rights, including women's rights and freedom of expression around the world. \"We will never hesitate to promote these values and we believe that this dialogue is critical to international diplomacy.\" Her Saudi counterpart, Adel al-Jubeir, had earlier tweeted that Canada's position was based on \"misleading information\", adding that anyone arrested was \"subject to Saudi laws that guarantee their rights\". The leading Saudi women's rights campaigner Manal al-Sharif thanked Canada for \"speaking up\" and asked when other Western powers would do the same. In what appeared to be a further sign of deteriorating relations between the two countries, a verified Twitter account, which is reportedly linked to Saudi authorities, shared an image of a plane flying towards Toronto's famed CN Tower. The image was overlaid with text, including a quote which read \"he who with what doesn't concern him finds what doesn't please him\". People on social media have been quick to point out the similarities between the image and images of 9/11. The account has since been deleted, but cached versions of the tweet are circulating online. Who is being held? Last Tuesday, the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights said at least 15 human rights defenders and women's rights activists critical of the Saudi government had been arrested or detained arbitrarily since 15 May. Eight of them are believed to have been released pending \"procedural reviews\", but the whereabouts of several others are unknown. Several of those detained have been accused of serious crimes, including \"suspicious contact with foreign parties\", and could face up to 20 years in prison. Human rights groups reported that Ms Badawi was also detained last week, along with fellow women's rights campaigner Nassima al-Sadah. Ms Badawi was given the US International Women of Courage Award in 2012 and is known for challenging Saudi Arabia's male guardianship system. Her brother Raif was sentenced to 10 years in prison and 1,000 lashes for \"insulting Islam\" online back in 2014, while his wife, Ensaf Haidar, lives in Canada and recently became a Canadian citizen. What did Canada say? Foreign Minister Chrystia Freeland wrote on Twitter on Thursday that she was \"very alarmed\" to learn that Ms Badawi had been detained. The next day, the Canadian foreign ministry called for the activist's \"immediate release\". How did Saudi Arabia react? The Saudi foreign ministry statement expressed \"disbelief [at] this negative unfounded comment which was not based [on] any accurate or true information\". It insisted the activists were being detained lawfully and that the Canadian statements represented \"blatant interference in the kingdom's domestic affairs\". The ministry recalled its ambassador to Canada for consultations and declared the Canadian ambassador persona non grata, giving him 24 hours to leave. Saudi Arabia would also \"put on hold all new business and investment transactions with Canada while retaining its right to take further action\", it said. Trade between the two countries was worth $3bn (£2.3bn) in 2016. All scholarships enabling Saudi students to study in Canada were also suspended, while students already in the country will be relocated. It is unclear how many people this will affect. The Vancouver Sun said in 2015 that about 5,000 new students arrive from Saudi Arabia each year.",

            "input": "Traces of E.coli bacteria and the Aspergillus fungus were found by analysts who examined 90 samples bought in and around the Spanish capital. The samples of hashish were wrapped up in plastic \"acorns\" were the worst offenders, reportedly because of the way they are smuggled into the country. Some 40% of these also had the aroma of faeces, the study's lead author said. Buying, selling and importing cannabis is against the law in Spain, as is using it in public - although it is technically legal to grow it for personal use, provided it is not publicly visible, and to consume it in private. How was the study carried out? José Manuel Moreno Pérez, a pharmacologist from the Universidad Complutense in Madrid, collected hashish samples (also referred to as hash or resin) directly from street dealers, both in the city and the surrounding suburbs. The aim was to determine whether the drugs sold were suitable for human consumption. His research team then separated the contaminated samples by shape, with some of them resembling \"acorns\" and others \"ingots\", to see if one shape had more contaminates than the other. The study, co-authored with Pilar Pérez-Lloret, Juncal González-Soriano and Inmaculada Santos Álvarez, has been published in the journal Forensic Science International. What were the findings? They found that 93% of the acorn-shaped samples contained dangerous levels of E.coli bacteria, as did 29.4% of the ingot samples. Some 10% of the cannabis samples were also contaminated with Aspergillus, a dangerous fungus that can cause serious health problems. Most of the samples tested - 88.3% - were not suitable for consumption. Mr Pérez later explained the contamination - and the smell - to the Spanish newspaper El País. The acorns, he said, were more likely to be contaminated because of how they were brought into the country - the cannabis is wrapped up in small plastic pellets and swallowed before the drug smugglers then \"take a laxative and expel\" them in a toilet. These are then sold by dealers. Apart from being unpleasant, what are the health risks? According to the study, the risks associated with E.coli and Aspergillus are serious enough to make the illegal street vending of hashish \"a public health issue\". The E.coli infection, for example, can cause diarrhoea, vomiting, stomach pains, fever, and blood in faeces - and for some people this can then lead to even more serious conditions. Meanwhile, inhaling Aspergillus mould can cause serious problems for people who already have lung conditions, like asthma or cystic fibrosis, or in people who have low immunity. The study says this is particularly dangerous for cancer patients, who sometimes smoke cannabis to help with the symptoms of chemotherapy. \"These patients have a weakened immune system, meaning that an infection caused by the consumption of contaminated or adulterated hashish could be fatal,\" it adds. There are three main types of street cannabis - hash, herbal cannabis (weed, grass or marijuana) and high-potency cannabis or skunk.",

But others question whether he is really the best choice. Gen Sharif's last appointment was as the inspector-general of training and evaluation at the army headquarters in Rawalpindi. He has also been the head of the Pakistan Military Academy (PMA) at Kakul, Abbottabad. 'Big role' In both these positions his role was primarily to deal with the evaluation of military doctrines and war strategies - with a view to shaping future training programmes. It is believed that the general played a key role in presiding over a change of military thinking since 2007, under which the focus of the army's work is geared more towards fighting Taliban militants rather than confronting traditional arch-enemy India. \"Sharif has played a big role in convincing the army that the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and assorted militants inside Pakistan are as big a threat [as India],\" one senior officer told the Reuters news agency. In addition he has led the Gujranwala Corps, based at one of the army's more important corps headquarters. Our correspondent says that he brings a sound mix of academic and field experience to the job, which many consider to be the most powerful in Pakistan. Low intensity warfare Those who know Gen Sharif say that during his last tenure he reshaped nearly all the important training courses, bringing them in line with the challenges of internal terrorism. He has also developed training manuals for counter-insurgency operations, an area which was not previously part of the traditional military training courses. Gen Sharif, 57, has put many of these manuals into practice during his time at the PMA, introducing training courses in low-intensity warfare for army recruits. During his time as the Gujranwala corps commander he introduced field exercises that focused on counter-terrorism operations. Many believe that his role in \"orchestrating\" the new military thinking in the Pakistan army will enable him to cope with the forthcoming challenges more effectively. But there are others who think his choice may not have been based purely on merit. Some army circles say that he may have been recommended to Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif by Abdul Qadir Baloch, a retired army general and now a minister in Mr Sharif's cabinet. Gen Baloch was a superior of Gen Sharif during his time in the army, and is known to have a liking for him. In a recent conversation with Prime Minister Sharif, Gen Baloch is understood to have told him that he trusted Gen Sharif \"more than his own children\". Other officers think Gen Sharif's family connections with Prime Minister Sharif may have influenced the decision. But there is no doubting Gen Sharif's military credentials - he comes from a family of soldiers. His father, Mohammad Sharif, retired as an army major while his brother, Maj Shabbir Sharif, was decorated with the country's highest military award for bravery, Nishan-e-Haider, after he died in action in the 1971 war with India. Many say that his father had a close relationship with Prime Minister Sharif's father, Mohammad Sharif.",

Social workers and the FBI took no action against Pitt. There were also rumours of an affair with his co-star Marion Cotillard - which she denied. But his reputation had been called into question and he has kept a low profile since. So how does one of Hollywood's biggest stars begin to fix his image and move on? The answer seems to be - by doing an eight-day photoshoot mucking about in America's national parks and a long, confessional and philosophical interview with GQ Style. As one of the most famous people on the planet, Pitt had to talk about his problems sooner or later, attempt to take control of the story and move on. And he's got a new film coming out - which gets several prominent mentions in the article. He needs to promote that by talking to the media, as he will need to do for future releases. He can't dodge the subject of his divorce and personal problems. But he can choose which outlet he uses to speak about them, and what they say. In giving his first post-split interview to GQ Style, he's chosen a publication that is glossy in both format and interview tone. GQ correspondent Michael Paterniti's questioning was gently probing but sympathetic. He didn't ask what went on in the plane. The choice of GQ wasn't likely to put too many rival media noses out of joint, and was guaranteed to be picked up by virtually every news outlet around the world. And he will have had control over what went in the article, according to PR guru Mark Borkowski. \"Total copy approval, total picture approval, total headline approval,\" he says. Pitt \"looks good and has admitted he's had a problem,\" Borkowski says. \"So it's very transparent and very honest. To be as upfront and direct as he's been, it is a remarkable moment in his career.\" The headlines from the interview have been, depending on which website or paper you read: Brad has had therapy to get through his divorce; he's admitted drink problems; he listened to Frank Ocean to get over the split; and he wore the same $1,000 (£775) tank top as Harry Styles. In the bits about his divorce, he is conciliatory and admits the chaos of the past half-year has been \"self-inflicted\", but he's putting \"family first\". He \"refuses\" to get into a vicious court battle with Angelina and says they've got to handle the situation with \"great care and delicacy\" for the children. Verdict? He's the honest and sensitive guy we always knew he was. E! published an article headlined: Why Brad Pitt won the Jolie-Pitt war by throwing himself on his sword. \"This interview could have been a more obstinate denial of wrongdoing on Pitt's part,\" E!'s Natalie Finn wrote. \"Yet it was quite the opposite. \"Throwing caution to the wind - and simultaneously capitalizing on 30 years of good will built up in Hollywood - Brad went for it, translating what he's gleaned from his newfound love of therapy into a painfully self-aware, self-deprecating, oft-poetic and at times rambling discourse on a charmed life that veered off course and what he's doing to right the ship.\" In Vanity Fair, Kenzie Bryant wrote: \"Pitt clearly studied the lay-it-all-bare, heart-on-my-sleeve, owning-my-flaws interview section of the post-celebrity-divorce playbook. \"Learning from his tumultuous year is a theme of the talk, especially regarding the divorce, which is still under way.\" Bryant added: \"He comes across candid, remorseful, and keen to let the world know that he's doing a lot of work on himself.\" And in an article praising his \"openness and honesty\" about his alcohol problems on Huffington Post, Ryan Hampton of Facing Addiction wrote: \"Brad, I lift a cranberry-and-Perrier to you. \"People like you do so much to give a face to the addiction crisis that claims so many lives. Thank you for your honesty, your courage, and your willingness to open up about your recovery.\" Not everyone was totally convinced, though. Many celebrities would have tried to hide or snipe at their ex through the media, but Pitt is dealing with it \"in the most humane way possible\", Borkowski says. \"He was always going to be plagued with this story. So if you're going to talk about it, talk about it in full. \"But of course the timing is calculated, the language is calculated. Everything is calculated. And everything is a gamble. \"A lot of people prefer to stay below the waterline and not do it. He's taken a massive risk and I can think of many who just wouldn't go this far.\" Follow us on Facebook, on Twitter @BBCNewsEnts, or on Instagram at bbcnewsents.

This is expected to see much of its sub-editing work carried out outside Scotland. It is designed to let journalists file articles more easily through new publishing software. Further changes are also being planned to the Scotsman stable of newspaper titles in Edinburgh. The BBC has learned that plans have been drawn up for Evening News staff to be merged with the journalists who produce The Scotsman and Scotland on Sunday. Those two national titles already have joint staffing. The jobs being shed at the Herald and Times Group follow a £200,000 investment in new technology.

Reports and photographs will be processed more efficiently and quickly placed on the publishers' websites. Centralisation The sub-editing, or processing of some articles is already carried out in Wales, and US-owned Newsquest is to centralise more of its Glasgow journalism.

He said: \"We are committed to giving our readers the best possible service of unique and compelling content, whether online or in print. Our coverage of the Glasgow Commonwealth Games and the Scottish independence referendum was second to none\". The circulation of the Sunday Herald has risen since it became the only national title to campaign for Scottish independence. Mr Blott said The Herald's circulation has also risen in the past few months, which he described as \"almost unique in the British newspaper industry\". \"Our digital subscriptions and online audiences for our news web sites and apps are at record levels,\" he said. \"We believe strongly in the future of Scottish journalism.\" Newsquest also owns s1, a Glasgow-based advertising website for homes, jobs and leisure, which is taking on 18 more staff. The Scotsman group did not respond to a request for information about the future of the Evening News staff.",

            "input": "By Emma SimpsonBusiness correspondent, BBC News Eighteen months ago, Jenni Ruegg did not think twice about filling up two trolleys with groceries at the supermarket. But recently she could not send her children to school, because she did not have any food to put in their lunch boxes. \"I knew our budget was running low. It wasn't shock. I was just upset. I wasn't providing for my children the stuff they need,\" she said. 'Crying' Putting food on the table has become a constant worry for Jenni. And she has gone without eating herself to ensure her family is fed. \"I try to keep my husband well fed. I will have less. I've been hungry, I've gone to bed crying because I've been hungry. There are bad weeks and good weeks, but I just keep going.\" Jenni has a lot of mouths to feed - seven children, five of them below the age of 12. But she and her husband have always worked and managed to get by. They clean offices by night, and Jenni is a school dinner lady by day. \"We're not benefit scroungers. We've always been self sufficient. We've worked hard and paid our bills,\" said Jenni. But those bills have been rising fast during the past six months and their cleaning contracts have been cut by more than half, as companies have reduced their spending. The day after she could not send her children to school, Jenni was referred to a Trussell Trust food bank and given an emergency food parcel. When I dropped in to see the small team of volunteers in action, they were busy assembling bags of food in a small shed for the week ahead. They hand out food donated by the public. And there are now more than 100 of these food banks up and down the country. Demand is soaring. Here in Bournemouth, they are feeding more than double the number of people they were last year. Many of those in need have suffered a dramatic change in circumstance, like losing their job, or they have been hit by a delay in receiving benefits. But this UK food bank network is now starting to help people they never expected to see. Director Chris Mould said: \"We are now seeing an increasing number of people coming to the food bank who are in work, on low incomes, who simply can't cope. \"Static incomes, prices for food and fuel going up, and there are people making incredibly difficult choices - it's about whether they heat their homes or feed their family.\" Jenni knows all about those choices. \"Everything's gone up, but our incomes haven't. I just don't understand the logic.\" Getting by She is a proud mother, who at first refused her food bank voucher. But she is very grateful for the helping hand when she needed it most. In the meantime, she's making do: \"The boys just have to have shampoo. I make sure the girls get what they need with conditioner and I have what's left. If I have to have Fairy Liquid then so be it.\" \"It does leave your hair soft and shiny,\" she laughs. The Rueggs are a close, resilient family, hoping things will improve soon. Before I left, we were joined by Jenni's 11-year-old son, Mace, in the kitchen. And he knows his mother is doing her best. \"We do struggle for food, don't we Mum?\" he said. \"It's such a shame when you're working so hard. But my mum's probably the best mum anyone can ever dream of. She's a supermum, aren't you Mum?\"",

Josh Young, the organiser, said it was a way of meeting younger people \"where they are\" and engaging with them in a world they are used to. Virtual reality means they have also been able to get creative with lessons. For example Mr Young made an underwater whale so they could learn about the story of Jonah and challenged the teenagers to make boats to learn about when Jesus calmed a storm. The 27-year-old youth worker added: \"Having a community for these young people is really important and I wanted to carry that on in the lockdown. \"They can't hang out with friends and some of them are really struggling at the moment. On Minecraft they can meet, talk and play games without physically being there. It is a tool for engagement and building community. \"Young people live in this online world and the Bible teaches us to meet people where they are, in their community. \"Jesus pushed the boundaries of what people thought was typical worship, he would be happy with the idea that the church is moving forwards.\" About 20 youngsters, aged between 11 and 17, spend two-and-a-half hours on the server every Wednesday. In that time they're free to explore the world or pursue their own projects, but for 30 minutes they are teleported to a communal area to complete a Bible-themed challenge. Mr Young said they had made sure the adults could prevent bad language, control who joined and had permission from the parents for their children to join. Rosie, 15, is one of the teenagers who joins regularly. \"I love it because I can talk to my friends whilst playing, I enjoy it just the same as meeting up for our normal youth club,\" she said. \"I thought it was good when Josh teleported everyone to the same place and we had a competition to build the best boat from Matthew, Chapter 8, when Jesus stopped the storm. My team won it because we built little lightning storm clouds.\" Follow BBC East Midlands on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram. Send your story ideas to eastmidsnews@bbc.co.uk.",

The company only had rights to use the cat to sell its \"Grumppuccino\" iced drink, but sold other Grumpy products. The cat, real name Tardar Sauce, went viral in 2012 after photographs of her sour expression emerged online. Originally posted on the social website Reddit by the brother of the cat's owner, Tabatha Bundesen, the image of the cat quickly spread as a meme with funny text captions. In 2013 Grenade Beverage, owned by father and son Nick and Paul Sandford, struck a $150,000 deal to market iced coffee beverages with the cat's scowl on its packaging. But in 2015 Grumpy Cat Limited sued them for breaching that contract. A court filing claimed they had exceeded the deal by selling roasted coffee and Grumppucino T-shirts, which Grumpy Cat said \"blatantly infringed\" their copyrights and trademarks. The coffee chain's owners countersued on the grounds that the cat and its owners had not held up their side of the deal. A lawyer for Grenade said Grumpy Cat had failed to mention its brand enough on social media and in a television appearance, according to court reports. They also alleged that the owners had told them Tardar Sauce was set to star in a film alongside Hollywood actors Will Ferrell and Jack Black, something that did not happen. But a California federal jury sided with the cat and her owners, ordering the payment of $710,000 in damages for copyright and trademark infringement, as well as a $1 nominal damage fee for breach of contract. According to Courthouse News, Grumpy Cat herself made a brief appearance during the January trial, but was not present for the verdict. The cat's perpetually sad and unique expression is said to be caused by feline dwarfism and an underbite - when the lower jaw extends forward. The six-year-old cat now has a company in her name, and a range of merchandise - including clothing, calendars and soft toys. She has travelled the world making television appearances and in 2014, the cat even starred in her own Christmas film. You may also like:",

But ministers and council leaders have agreed it is “not realistic or reasonable” for the original timescale to remain in the wake of the pandemic. No date has been given for when it will be made a legal obligation again. Earlier this month, Audit Scotland said the plan was on track but that thousands more nursery staff were still needed and half the building work was not yet complete. Children's Minister Maree Todd and councillor Stephen McCabe, children’s spokesman for council umbrella group Cosla, issued a joint statement announcing the change. 'Exceptional circumstances' It said: “Before the extent of the Covid-19 pandemic became clear, Audit Scotland confirmed we were on track to deliver 1,140 hours of early learning and childcare from August. “Our commitment to delivering the expansion remains undimmed. “However, in these exceptional circumstances it is not realistic or reasonable to expect that local authorities can deliver their original expansion plans in time for August this year.” The statement added that nursery recruitment drives and building work had been stopped by the virus outbreak. In addition, a lot of council resources are being deployed in the immediate response to the coronavirus pandemic.

            "input": "By Kristiina CooperPolitical reporter, BBC News The Liberal Democrats propose raising the point at which you start paying income tax. Increasing the \"personal allowance\" is something they've pushed for in government - managing to get it up to £10,500 next April. The Lib Dems are now saying the allowance should go up again - to £11,000 in April 2016. The ambition? An allowance of £12,500 by 2020. Sounds familiar? The Conservatives are promising the same thing. The rich would pay more tax..... The Lib Dems would like to introduce a new tax on expensive property. They've championed a mansion tax for years - initially it was a one per cent tax on houses worth over £2m. The latest version would involve adding higher \"bands\" to existing council tax rates to capture £2m properties. It's outrageous, Lib Dems say, that people living in a house worth £500,000 pay the same council tax as someone with a £50 million mansion. The money raised - an estimated £1.5bn - would go towards getting rid of the budget deficit (the gap between the nation's spending and income). Sounds a bit familiar? Labour is now offering a form of mansion tax too. A few other ideas to extract cash from the wealthy There are plans to increase capital gains tax - paid on profits from selling things including a second home or shares - from 28% to 35%. The money would be used to fund that £11,000 personal allowance pledge (see above). The deficit is huge though - any other ideas? The party admits tax rises for the wealthy aren't enough. They say spending on welfare would have to be kept under control. The Lib Dems are choosing their words carefully though. Nick Clegg has said he would not accept Conservative plans to freeze working-age benefits WITHOUT taxing the rich too. He hasn't said he would block welfare cuts altogether. How would they keep benefits \"under control\"? One proposal is to stop giving winter fuel payments and free TV licences to the wealthiest pensioners. There'd be a \"yellow card\" system to deal with claimants breaking the rules. If they don't put things right sanctions would follow. Don't forget the economy... There would be \"strict new fiscal rules\" to ensure the deficit has gone by April 2018. They are: 1) Once the deficit's gone, start paying off the nation's debt. 2) A balanced budget but with scope to spend money on roads and housing. 3) \"Fairness\", with the wealthy contributing the most to deficit reduction. Everyone has an eye-catching plan for the NHS... what about the Lib Dems? The big plan for the health service in England is the introduction of targets for treating people with mental health problems. At the moment, there aren't any targets at all for mental health. The Lib Dems say people who need therapy - for conditions such as depression - will be guaranteed treatment within 18 weeks. For patients experiencing psychosis - a disorder characterised by delusions and hallucinations - treatment will be provided within two weeks of being referred by a GP. This is all going to happen from April and Nick Clegg said if the Lib Dems are in government again there will be extra money to introduce similar targets for conditions such as bipolar disorder and eating disorders. By the way.... The Lib Dems also promise to find £1bn more for the NHS every year. It would be funded by scrapping a few tax breaks. One in their sights is the \"shares for rights\" scheme. It was set up to encourage workers to accept shares in return for giving up employment rights. But it turns out executives are using it to cut their tax bills - because tax on shares is lower than tax on income. More cities... The plan is to build 300,000 houses a year. The Lib Dems have even identified possible locations. They're proposing up to five garden cities - developments with plenty of green spaces - in Cambridgeshire, Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire. The Lib Dems say that new cities would get their own stations if built along the proposed railway line linking the two university towns of Oxford and Cambridge. Staying with green issues... the Lib Dems are flagging up their environmental credentials... The party is calling for five green laws on issues ranging from saving energy to installing a network of charging points for electric cars. As Nick Clegg colourfully put it: \"It's not green crap to us.\" A reference to comments reportedly made in private by David Cameron But when it comes to airports... U-turns can be dangerous The Lib Dems have traditionally been opposed to airport expansion. Nick Clegg is trying to change policy to allow for a new runway at Gatwick. But the conference voted against him. Lib Dem party members do have a lot of influence over policy but it's not a hard and fast rule. The \"party of education\" There are promises to protect the education budget from cuts. And there's a parental guarantee of qualified teachers and a curriculum set by independent experts. There would be more money for disadvantaged school children and free childcare for all two year olds. For young people travelling to school or college the Lib Dems are offering discounts on bus fares. Constitutional matters The Lib Dems pledge home rule to Scotland - \"no ifs, no buts\" says Nick Clegg. There are promises of a new funding formula for Wales and more devolution in England.",

The ship is part of what President Trump said last week was an \"armada\" being deployed off North Korea amid tensions over its nuclear plans. But the vessels were heading the other way for training with Australia's navy. South Korean media were incredulous, with one newspaper headline blaring, \"Trump's Carl Vinson lie\". Joongang Daily likened the controversy to alleged \"fake missiles\" paraded through North Korea's capital. Seeking to clear up confusion on Wednesday, the Pentagon chief said he wanted \"to be open about what we're doing\". Speaking in Saudi Arabia, Mr Mattis said: \"We're doing exactly what we said we're going to do. She will be on her way. \"And I'll determine when she gets there and where she actually operates - but the Vinson is going to be part of our ensuring that we stand by our allies in the north-west Pacific.\" The confusion began on 9 April when the US Navy said the Carl Vinson strike group was travelling from Singapore to the Western Pacific. Two days later, President Trump said in an interview with Fox Business: \"We are sending an armada, very powerful\" towards the Korean peninsula. His remark stoked fears across East Asia that the US was poised for a pre-emptive military strike. But rather than heading north to the Sea of Japan, on 13 April the Vinson was travelling in the opposite direction, south towards Australia, for a scheduled weekend exercise with that country's navy. A US Navy photo dated 15 April showed the Nimitz-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier heading through the Sunda Strait into the Indian Ocean. The Vinson battle group is not expected to reach the Korean peninsula until next week. Questioned on Wednesday at the daily White House briefing, press secretary Sean Spicer insisted the administration did not mislead anyone. \"The president said we have an armada that's going toward the peninsula,\" Mr Spicer told reporters. \"That's a fact, it happened. It is happening, rather.\" The BBC's Korea correspondent, Stephen Evans, says it is not clear whether the mix-up was a deliberate deception, perhaps designed to frighten North Korea's leader Kim Jong-un, a change of plan or simple miscommunication.

Compensation payments The public inquiry, chaired by retired High Court judge Sir Anthony Hart, is being held in Banbridge courthouse, County Down. MLAs were told that Sir Anthony made a compelling case for the deadline extension, because of the number of witnesses who have come forward to testify and the amount of allegations he has to investigate. However, some victims and survivors of institutional abuse have called for an interim report to be published and for compensation payments to begin before the conclusion of the inquiry. Campaigners said that many victims of institutional abuse are elderly and some died before they were called to testify. They said more victims may die before they see the final report in January 2017, or have the opportunity to benefit from a redress scheme.

'Extremely worrying' The BMA also said that freedom of information requests indicated that the actual vacancy rate for doctors was at least twice the government's official figure. Dr Graeme Eunson, chairman of the BMA's Scottish consultants committee, described the findings as \"extremely worrying\" and argued staff shortages were \"already affecting the ability of doctors to deliver the high-quality patient care they strive for\". He told BBC Radio's Good Morning Scotland programme that staff were exhausted from going from winter 2019 straight into the Covid-19 pandemic early last year, with no time to recover between the first and second waves, and were now running on empty. Dr Eunson said that doctors were leaving quicker than their replacements could be trained - and said it took 15 years to train as a consultant. Without adequate staffing, he stressed that patient care would suffer. Doctors had been reporting widespread burnout and an array or workforce and workplace pressures long before the pandemic hit last year, he said. And the specialities that faced the biggest staff shortages were those that faced the biggest pressure from Covid. He added that this came on top of \"a general increase in the intensity of work\" for doctors over the years. He said long working hours had followed them through their entire career, and that there was little recognition of the burnout these medics faced. \"As you get older, the shifts get harder - you're either doing everything or nothing,\" he said. 'Portfolio career approach' He added that large tax bills drove people out at the end of their career. He called for a \"portfolio career approach\", so doctors could wind down - for example, by cutting back on shifts - but still care for patients. If the matter was not addressed urgently, he said the country would end up \"storing up problems\" for the future. The Scottish government said it was committed to improving the wellbeing of health and social care staff across Scotland and had taken \"immediate action\" to provide support while they responded to the pandemic. \"We are also working to build a sustainable culture that will continue to prioritise staff wellbeing in the future,\" a spokesperson said.

The insect harvests moisture from the air by first getting it to condense on its back and then storing the water. Using nature as an inspiration for technology, known as biomimicry, is increasingly widespread. NBD Nano, which consists of four recent university graduates and was formed in May, looked at the Namib Desert beetle that lives in a region that gets about half an inch of rainfall per year. Using a similar approach, the firm wants to cover the surface of a bottle with hydrophilic (water-attracting) and hydrophobic (water-repellent) materials. The work is still in its early stages, but it is the latest example of researchers looking at nature to find inspiration for sustainable technology. \"It was important to apply [biomimicry] to our design and we have developed a proof of concept and [are] currently creating our first fully-functional prototype,\" Miguel Galvez, a co-founder, told the BBC. \"We think our initial prototype will collect anywhere from half a litre of water to three litres per hour, depending on local environments.\" The founders want to use a fan to get the surrounding air to pass over the surface of the bottle. The air would then condense and get stored inside the device. \"Dry places like the Atacama Desert or Gobi Desert don't have access to a lot of sources of water,\" said Mr Galvez. \"So if we're creating [several] litres per day in a cost-effective manner, you can get this to a community of people in Sub-Saharan Africa and other dry regions of the world. And if you can do it cheaply enough, then you can really create an impact on the local environment.\" About three billion people on Earth - almost one in two - live in water-scarce conditions, with demand growing drastically, while supply remains constant, according to the World Health Organization. Energy efficiency In some countries, condensation devices on rooftops already harvest water from the air - but these technologies consume large amounts of energy to produce small amounts of water. NBD Nano's prototype seems to be more energy-efficient, but it still would not be able to satisfy the needs of an entire community, Erik Harvey from WaterAid charity told the BBC. \"Even in water-scarce areas, communities need more water than what they would consume for themselves - livestock and agriculture in arid environments are very important,\" he said. But it does not mean the start-up is wasting time developing a water bottle, he said. \"There is a range of viable markets for them, like the military or the outdoors market, people going camping, and the advantage that they may have is a much lower energy input device,\" said Mr Harvey. Nature copycats A number of companies have recently been researching nature-inspired solutions to real-life problems. Electronics firm Qualcomm studied light reflection on butterfly wings to design its Mirasol e-reader display. And Canadian company Whalepower mimics humpback whale flippers in its wind turbines and fans to reduce drag. San Diego Zoo in California recently opened a Centre for Bioinspiration.

Three Welsh meat and food plants now have Covid-19 among its workers - 34 cases linked to Kepak in Merthyr Tydfil and 70 at Rowan Foods in Wrexham. Wales' health minister said government will see if the sector should improve. PHW have carried out more than 450 Covid-19 tests as a result of the Anglesey outbreak, which is the reason why schools will not open in the county on Monday. The chicken processing plant in Llangefni, the smallest of food giant 2 Sisters' 12 plants across the UK, has temporarily closed as a result of the outbreak. \"Incidents like this are a reminder that coronavirus is still circulating, sometimes invisibly, and that we all need to be vigilant,\" said Dr Graham Brown of PHW. Birmingham-based 2 Sisters is one of the UK's biggest food manufacturing companies, employing about 18,000 people across the country and with an estimated £3bn annual turnover. 2 Sisters supply major outlets like Marks & Spencer, KFC, Asda and Aldi - although the company say none of their major customers are supplied from the Anglesey plant. 'No evidence of wider community transmission' Health Minister Vaughan Gething said there was no evidence of wider community transmission following the outbreaks at 2 Sisters and Rowan Foods - and did not see a need for local lockdowns in response. Mr Gething said outbreaks in meat and food processing plants had been a feature of the pandemic around the world and food producers had been \"generally good\" at complying with Covid-19 workplace regulations. However, he said: \"We also know in the meat processing sector, operating margins can be very tight, many people are employed on fairly low pay and levels of statutory sick pay mean many people feel they have no choice but to carry on working when they are ill.\" The minister said the government would look at the sector \"within a very quick period of time\" to understand if officials needed to do more. Cases of coronavirus have generally fallen across Wales, Mr Gething said, with fewer than 100 cases each day in the first few weeks of June. But he revealed on Tuesday that there had been 34 cases associated with Kepak in Merthyr Tydfil since April, with eight new cases since the start of June - on top of the 200 cases at 2 Sisters and 70 at the Rowan Foods outbreak in Wrexham. A union official has written to Rowan Foods to express \"extremely worrying and developing issues\" at the plant, which the company has denied. In a letter seen by BBC Wales, Unite regional officer David Griffiths says one of the workers who tested positive for Covid-19 returned to work after isolating for six days. People who have tested positive must self-isolate for at least seven days from when their symptoms began. 'Astonished' He writes: \"The reason for my letter/email is to raise specific and extremely worrying and developing issues at the Wrexham site. \"We have had many members contacting us in relation to the ongoing situation of colleagues being tested as Covid-19 positive that were in work immediately before their positive tests.\" He added he had been told a manager \"returned within six days of a positive Covid-19 test\". \"This being a food manufacturer I am astonished at this happening,\" he wrote. He said after two managers tested positive \"no care or consideration\" was made to workers who came into contact with those infected. A statement from the Oscar Mayer Group, which runs Rowan Foods, said it had worked hard since March to implement measures to protect staff. \"We have reviewed potential risks of Covid-19 and have proactively made significant operational changes at the site to maintain social distancing, including various mitigations such as screens and visors,\" it said. \"In addition, we have implemented a behavioural safety system and social distancing champions throughout the factory to ensure colleagues are socially distancing.\" What is happening at Kepak? Jason Stevens, Usdaw union area organiser, said the priority at Kepak was to \"put in place necessary safety measures and ensure that they are adhered to\". He added: \"Risk assessments continue and along with our Usdaw reps on site we are holding regular meetings with the company seeking to improve safety on site.\" Coronavirus regulations in Wales state workplaces must take \"all reasonable measures to ensure that a distance of two metres is maintained between person on the premises and waiting to enter the premises\". A fresh lockdown has been ordered in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia after a coronavirus outbreak linked to a meatpacking plant there. The Food Standards Agency said it was \"very unlikely you can catch coronavirus from food\" as the virus is a respiratory illness. Dr Brown, consultant in communicable disease control for PHW, said at Rowan Foods the \"testing process is ongoing\" and additional cases have been found. \"This does not mean that the company has been identified as the source of the infection, or that finding additional cases means the infection is increasing,\" he added. \"However, we are identifying previously asymptomatic individuals that work for Rowan Foods Ltd with the infection.\"",

But a subsequent review, revealed in the council's annual accounts, shows an additional £218,563 was paid unlawfully. The council said it had voluntarily referred the matter to its external auditors a few months ago. Its chief executive and deputy have been questioned by police investigating the payments. Recently published accounts for 2012/13 show Caerphilly spent £102,709 on a buy-out of essential car use allowances and £115,854 on a buy-out of additional annual leave. The payments were considered unlawful because they were decided by people without the appropriate authority, the accounts say. A Caerphilly council spokesman said the payments had been referred to auditors. They come on top of the £270,364 considered unlawful by the Wales Audit Office (WAO). The accounts show five top officers, including chief executive Anthony O'Sullivan, received unlawful salary payments worth a combined £94,081. 'Significant failings' Mr O'Sullivan got unlawful payments totalling £25,182. In March, an Audit Office report said pay rises for 21 senior staff at Caerphilly were unlawful because the committee meeting which approved a new pay structure - recommended in a report written by the chief executive himself - had not been advertised properly. The matter is now being investigated by Avon and Somerset Police. A separate report by the WAO published last month says Caerphilly council has \"significant failings in its governance arrangements\". As a result, the Auditor General is conducting a special inspection of the authority. Former chief executive Stuart Rosser was brought back in as interim boss of the council in July. He left in 2010, but returned to replace Mr O'Sullivan who has been suspended along with deputy chief executive Nigel Barnett. The council's accounts say: \"Certain officers, including the chief executive, who would have been (and were) beneficiaries of the decision were present throughout the meeting to approve the salary increases. \"No declarations of interest were made and these officers did not leave the room whilst the decision was made. \"In doing so, they participated in the decision-making process.\" A council spokesman said: \"We have received confirmation from the Wales Audit Office that they consider payments made to senior officers relating to the buy out of car allowances and additional annual leave as being 'unlawful expenditure'. \"A few months ago we voluntarily referred the matter to our external auditors and it is still being investigated.

Welsh Tory leader Andrew RT Davies has also said free movement would be acceptable with an overall cap. Lord Hain said it showed that Brexit campaigners \"sold Leave voters a pup\". \"They were not straight with them. Every person I bumped into on the street believed that Vote Leave would reduce or stop immigration, and Leave campaigners encouraged that belief. It was central to their success,\" he said. \"This is frankly shameless and shameful to renege on the promises that were made.\" Earlier David Davies said the concept of a system continuing \"some sort of freedom of movement\" between the UK and the EU was \"probably right\" if \"benefits and council houses\" were stopped for EU migrants after Brexit The Vote Leave campaign had called for voters to \"take back control\" of borders, backing an \"Australian-style\" points-based immigration system. A majority of Welsh voters - as across the UK - backed Brexit in June's referendum, with much of the debate focused on immigration and the EU's system of freedom of movement. Currently, EU citizens are able to live and work across the 28-member bloc. Since Leave's success in the poll the nature of the UK's future relationship with the European Union after Brexit, and how immigration would work with remaining EU states, has been subject to debate. \"We can't do anything about immigration from within the EU until we leave,\" the Conservative MP told the BBC's Good Morning Wales radio programme on Thursday. \"Even then I think we are probably going to ensure some sort of freedom of movement for countries already in the EU, and I think that's probably right actually. But he added: \"I do think we should stop providing benefits and council houses to people who are in the EU. \"I think anyone who comes over here should be expected to work, and it should be clear that they have a responsibility to find that work themselves. \"I think it's wrong we give people from other EU countries the same rights to benefits as someone born and brought up in Britain.\" During the referendum campaign David Davies took part in a BBC Wales debate where he said he was fed up of criticism for raising the issue of immigration. He claimed that because of EU membership, there was \"uncontrolled migration of mainly young men\" who were coming to the UK \"from a variety of countries looking for a better way of life\". Andrew RT Davies added: \"During the referendum campaign many voters told us that they want the government to have the ability to control the number of people coming to the UK, and that's absolutely right. \"At times that number may be higher, or lower - and would be set according to our priorities at the time.\"",

Tyriq Alowooja, 21, from Milton Keynes, was found guilty of the \"brutal and vicious murder\" in August. Judge Charles Gratwicke sentenced Alowooja to a minimum of 20 years in prison at Luton Crown Court. The court previously heard Mr Wiafe had driven on to the estate to collect drugs that were being stored for him in a flat in Carradine Crescent. While there, he saw Alowooja, and the pair got out of their cars and confronted each other before a fight broke out. Mr Wiafe sustained stab wounds to each of his thighs and one of his arms, and was fatally knifed in the chest. Alowooja then went back to the car, as Mr Wiafe staggered away bleeding heavily. Sentencing Alowooja to life in prison, Judge Gratwicke said one of the stab wounds was delivered with such force it severed Mr Wiafe's rib before entering his heart. \"You were convicted by the jury of the brutal and vicious murder of Jefferey Wiafe,\" he said. \"You are, in my judgement, a callous and ruthless individual who is prepared to unleash extreme violence to anyone who crosses your path.\" Alowooja's girlfriend Brook Turrell, 20, of Milton Keynes, was cleared of murder after a judge decided there was no case to answer. She was then acquitted by a jury of assisting an offender. Both Alowooja and Turrell previously admitted being concerned in the supply of Class A drugs.

But since the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic, Northern Ireland's Driver and Vehicle Agency (DVA) has closed test centres and driving lessons across the UK have been cancelled. The DVA has suspended all practical driving tests until 22 June - and all theory tests until further notice. So how will lessons in the future be handled in line with social distancing restrictions and what is the impact on those unable to take their test now? 'Start from scratch' Trisha Turkington was diagnosed with epilepsy at the age of 17, which prevented her from learning to drive, but she recently found the confidence to start lessons. \"It took me 20 years to finally book my test, then everything stopped,\" said Ms Turkington, who works for the NHS at the Royal Victoria Hospital in Belfast. \"It's not like riding a bike. I'll be back to square one after lockdown and will have to start from scratch.\" Essential journey? Ms Turkington often travels between hospitals for work, relying on public transport and lifts from her husband. She was hoping to pass her test so she could help drive her six-year-old daughter, Anna, to school. She had been taking two professional driving lessons a week since Christmas and passed her theory test the week before lockdown, but following the cancellation of her remaining lessons she is worried about practising with her husband on public roads. \"I'm apprehensive about putting L-plates up in case I get stopped and fined for making a non-essential journey,\" she said. Key workers like Ms Turkington are being offered driving lessons in some parts of the UK but so far no provisions have been made for those in Northern Ireland. \"Everyone has been affected by lockdown but it feels like learner drivers are a low priority and getting pushed further and further down the list,\" she said. \"For the people affected it's a huge part of their life.\" 'Source of freedom' Niamh Keeney started learning to drive in October and was disappointed when her lessons had to be cancelled. \"(Driving) was going to be a huge source of freedom for me,\" said the Carryduff teenager. \"Not having a car really restricts what you can do,\" she added. \"I was going to use it to drive to school as buses are at awkward times.\" The 17-year-old said her social life would also be restricted. \"I have friends who live in Newcastle and Downpatrick, and it's really expensive to go and see them by bus.\" 'What if we have to grab the wheel?' Pete Carmichael runs a driving school in Newtownabbey and says driving instructors are facing an uncertain future. He said: \"We've been left in limbo - 22 June is the date instructors have been told, but we have had no clear direction from the Department of Infrastructure since lockdown was announced.\" There are 523 government-approved driving instructors in Northern Ireland, and Mr Carmichael is concerned many will suffer financially if people are reluctant to resume lessons. \"Social distancing is a real sticking point,\" he said. \"People have talked about having a sheet of perspex between us and the driver, but what if we have to grab the steering wheel? It can't happen. \"It's hard because people have cars and insurance premiums to pay for. Those expenses are all still there.\" Dual controls Judith Edmiston has worked as a driving instructor in Belfast and Holywood since 2006, and is equally concerned about the health and safety implications for her profession. \"I'll be going back to teaching as soon as it's safe to do so, but I'm not sure how it's going to work,\" she said. \"The dual controls mean I have to sit in the front with the driver and any barrier between us could interfere with the airbags.\" Instructors returning to work will have to rely on masks, gloves and disinfectant, she said. \"It's such a shame people can't be learning to drive at the moment, especially while the roads are quiet and they have more spare time on their hands,\" said Ms Edmiston. \"It's an essential skill for people, particularly those those are at the stage of looking for work. \"Everything is on hold for them.\" 'You don't want to bring anything home' Mark Davidson, a Belfast-based instructor, said 20 of his clients had their driving tests cancelled when lockdown measures were announced. \"There's going to be a huge backlog when things get up and running again,\" he said. \"One of my students had his test cancelled on the day he was supposed to take it,\" he added. \"It was very frustrating for him but what can you do?\" Mr Davidson has concerns for the future of those in his profession. \"Nobody knows what's going to happen. I'm going to keep my instructor's licence, but I've applied for a post-grad course at Queens University,\" he said. \"I have two young children and even before lockdown I was starting to feel uncomfortable in the car. \"You're sitting very close to people and you don't want to bring anything home.\"",

Government lawyer Lord Keen QC said the PM was \"entitled\" to act as he did and the issue was not one for the courts. Lord Pannick QC for campaigners against the move told the Supreme Court it was done to \"silence\" MPs ahead of Brexit. Mr Johnson announced at the end of August that he intended to suspend - or prorogue - Parliament for five weeks. He maintains it was right and proper to do so in order to pave the way for a Queen's Speech on 14 October to outline the government's legislative plans for the year ahead. The prime minister insisted the move had nothing to do with Brexit and his \"do or die\" pledge to take the UK out of the EU on 31 October, with or without a deal - but opposition MPs and campaigners dispute that and have taken the matter to court. The Supreme Court is hearing two appeals this week relating to the decision after two lower courts ruled in contradictory ways. Scotland's highest court ruled last week the five-week suspension was \"unlawful\", after a challenge by a cross-party group of politicians. Edinburgh's Court of Session said the shutdown was designed to \"stymie\" MPs in the run-up to the Brexit deadline and Mr Johnson had effectively misled the Queen in the sovereign's exercise of prerogative powers. However, the High Court in England had previously ruled the opposite way, following a challenge to prorogation brought by businesswoman and campaigner Gina Miller. Judges there said the suspension was \"purely political\" and therefore \"not a matter\" for the judiciary. 'Wider questions' Protesters from both sides of the Brexit debate gathered outside the court off Parliament Square in Westminster as the three-day hearing began. Lady Hale, President of the Supreme Court, said in her opening statement: \"That this is a serious and difficult question of law is amply demonstrated by the fact that three senior judges in Scotland have reached a different conclusion from three senior judges in England and Wales.\" She said the court would endeavour to address these questions, but would not determine \"wider political questions\" relating to the Brexit process or have any impact on its timing. SNP MP Joanna Cherry - who was also one of the lawyers involved in the Scottish case - told the BBC she was \"cautiously optimistic\" the Supreme Court would uphold that ruling. Otherwise, she said, it would be \"accepting that it's possible... for the prime minister of a minority government to shut down Parliament if it is getting in his way\". Arguing on behalf of the government on Tuesday, the Advocate General for Scotland, Lord Keen, told the Supreme Court that in declaring the prorogation \"null and of no effect\", the Scottish court had \"simply gone where the court could not go\". He said if the ruling was upheld, the prime minister would take \"all necessary steps\" to comply. However, after being pushed by the judges, he said he would not comment on whether Mr Johnson might subsequently try to prorogue Parliament again. Lord Keen said previous prorogations of Parliament - including in 1930 and 1948 - had \"clearly been employed\" when governments wanted to \"pursue a particular political objective\", adding: \"They are entitled to do so.\" He said that if MPs did not want Parliament to be suspended they had \"adequate mechanisms\" and opportunities to stop it in its tracks by passing new laws - pointing to the fact a bill to block a no-deal Brexit was passed in just two days. Arguing on behalf of Ms Miller - and against the English court ruling - crossbench peer Lord Pannick said Mr Johnson suspended Parliament to avoid the risk of MPs \"frustrating or damaging\" his Brexit plans. There was, Lord Pannick added, \"strong evidence\" the PM saw MPs \"as an obstacle\" and wanted to \"silence\" them. He said he had \"no quarrel\" with a prime minister's right to prorogue Parliament in order to present a Queen's Speech. However, he said the \"exceptional length\" of this suspension was \"strong evidence the prime minister's motive was to silence Parliament because he sees Parliament as an obstacle\". Lord Pannick said the facts showed the PM had advised the Queen to suspend Parliament for five weeks \"because he wishes to avoid what he saw as the risk that Parliament, during that period, would take action to frustrate or damage the policies of his government\". He said the effect of the suspension was to take Parliament \"out of the game\" at a pivotal moment in the UK's history and he disagreed with the High Court's judgement that the issue was outside the scope of the courts. \"The answer is either yes, or it is no, but it is an issue of law, and the rule of law demands the court answers it and not say 'it is not for us and it is for the discretion of the prime minister'.\" Amid the protests outside the Supreme Court, and the calm but focused legal debate inside, the first day of this potentially monumental constitutional battle came down to two questions. Do judges have the power to stop a prime minister proroguing Parliament? And, if so, did Boris Johnson act illegally and mislead the Queen? Lord Pannick QC, for Gina Miller, hammered out attack after attack. Where was the prime minister's witness statement showing he had an honest reason for closing Parliament? How could a prime minister who is accountable to Parliament prevent it from holding his feet to the fire? Lord Keen QC, the government's top lawyer in Scotland, argued judges couldn't even consider these questions. There was a key moment of political intrigue when the justices wondered what Mr Johnson would do if he were to lose. But his lawyer could not say whether he might simply ask the Queen to re-open Parliament - and then shut it down again. Ms Miller is seeking a mandatory order which would effectively force the government to recall Parliament, BBC legal correspondent Clive Coleman said. Opposition parties have called for Parliament to be recalled but at a cabinet meeting on Tuesday, Mr Johnson told ministers he was \"confident\" of the government's arguments. He told the BBC on Monday he had the \"greatest respect for the judiciary\", and its independence was \"one of the glories of the UK\". Downing Street has refused to speculate on how the government might respond should they lose this court case. Pressed this morning, the Justice Secretary, Robert Buckland, declined to say whether Parliament would be recalled, or indeed whether the prime minister might seek to suspend Parliament for a second time. Mr Buckland said any decision would hinge on the precise wording of the court judgement. Nevertheless, defeat would be a significant blow. It would be the first time in modern history that a prime minister had been judged to have misled Parliament. And if MPs were recalled, Mr Johnson would almost certainly face contempt of Parliament proceedings, accusations that he'd lied to the Queen, and pressure to reveal more details about his negotiating strategy and his planning for no deal. Defeat in the Supreme Court would also make it much harder for the prime minister to defy MPs for a second time as he has threatened to do over their bill to block a no-deal Brexit. Elsewhere on Tuesday, the prime minister has discussed Brexit in a phone call with German Chancellor Angela Merkel. No 10 said afterwards: \"The prime minister reiterated that the UK and the EU have agreed to accelerate efforts to reach a deal without the backstop which the UK Parliament could support, and that we would work with energy and determination to achieve this ahead of Brexit on 31 October.\"",

It is also normal from time to time for senior officials to move quietly to different government departments if a relationship breaks down with their political boss, or sometimes, for them to retire early if the situation has become impossible. There is nothing remotely normal however about a top government official quitting their job, suing the government in the belief they were forced out, deciding to go public with the reasons, and accusing one of the most senior politicians in the country of not being straight with the truth. But that is exactly what's happened. Sir Philip Rutnam has been one of the most senior civil servants for years, in charge at the Home Office for the last few. His time there has not always been an unalloyed success - the Home Office, as one of the biggest and most complicated departments in the government, has struggled with various issues, most notably the Windrush scandal. The Home Office is often seen as a poisoned chalice given the nature of its job. But Sir Philip's departure, and the manner of it, goes way beyond any normal policy problems or clashes. He cited a \"vicious and orchestrated\" campaign against him, and suggested that although Home Secretary Priti Patel has denied having anything to do with it, he said that he did not believe her. More to the point, he took aim not just at Ms Patel, but alluded to what he said was a \"wider pattern\" in government. Add this to the resignation of Sajid Javid, the former chancellor who expressed concerns about how the government is behaving, there is mounting evidence of unhappiness with how Prime Minister Boris Johnson and his team are running things. Certainly it is a government in a hurry, willing to rattle cages in order to get things done. But governments who want to get things done need an effective civil service to make things happen. A very public breakdown in trust like this does not help that cause. Indications at this early stage are that Priti Patel's position is secure. But with an employment tribunal in the offing, pressure may well build in the coming weeks. If Sir Philip pursues his case as he says he will, exactly what happened behind closed doors may soon be out there for all to see.",

Also new in this picture is 67P's activity. Jets of gas and dust can be seen streaming away from the \"neck\" region of the rubber duck-shaped comet. Philae is due to make its historic landing attempt on 12 November. It is currently riding piggyback on its \"mothership\", the Rosetta probe. You can just see the corner of this spacecraft on the left of the image, with one of its 14m-long solar wings dominating the foreground. The plan is for Rosetta to eject Philae towards 67P just after 0830 GMT on the 12th. The small gravitational tug from the 4km-wide comet should be enough to pull the robot on to its surface in a descent that is likely to take about seven hours to complete. If the lander survives this fall, it will be a first. Never before in the history of space exploration has a soft touchdown been made on one of these \"ice mountains\". The new \"selfie\" released by the European Space Agency is actually a composite of two images taken in quick succession but with different exposure times. This allowed the very different contrast conditions to be balanced across the entire vista. Philae acquired the frames on 7 October. It will be the last view from the robot's CIVA camera system until just after separation from Rosetta. The plan is for Philae to grab a \"goodbye\" shot of Rosetta as the pair start to recede from each other. Assuming the landing succeeds, CIVA will then take a full 360-degree panorama of its touchdown location. This is a relatively flat terrain on the \"head\" of the duck, currently dubbed \"Site J\" after its position in a list of possible destinations in the site selection process. Mission planners were due to meet on Tuesday to give a final confirmation to the J target. This ought to have been a formality. The big caveat is if Rosetta has seen a \"showstopper\" in its recent close-in mapping campaign. This would have to be an extremely dangerous surface feature that had gone unrecognised in previous, lower-resolution imaging. If a no-go situation has been indentified, planners would then move their attention to a back-up landing target on the \"body\" of the duck called \"Site C\".

There was a rise in the proportion of those getting top grades but the overall pass rate fell slightly. There was also a drop in the top grades for English following the introduction of an exam unique to Wales. The English exam was first sat in January but more than 100 schools complained after pupils got lower than expected grades leading to worries that the final mark on Thursday in the subject would be affected. In other subjects, the number of pupils receiving good grades in maths, French, German and Spanish have all fallen. However, results in chemistry, physics and biology improved. Earlier on Thursday, teachers' unions had raised concern raised by unions about high levels of anxiety levels among members over the GCSE results. Robin Hughes, from the ASCL union, said: \"The system that delivers GCSE results to our young people in Wales is on trial. \"Heads and teachers are more anxious than usual about the GCSE results this year. And with good reason. \"GCSEs are important to our young people but they are also important to our idea of how well our schools are doing.\" Mr Hughes said it was fair for schools to be held accountable on performance, including GCSEs results. \"When the schools are asked to deliver more and better GCSEs from year to year, and when we expect our young people to try as hard as they can to do well, can it be fair that the system that delivers the results seems to measure itself by how much harder it is for everyone else to do their job?\" he added. English exam Earlier this year, teachers and parents had reacted angrily to what they claimed were \"unexpectedly low grades\" for English exams taken in January. The Welsh government said there had been concerns about those results but that it still expected the full results to compare with those last year \"unless there were compelling reasons\" otherwise. The education minister had admitted \"marking was severe\" but said there was no need for them to be re-marked. The WJEC exam board, which initially ordered a re-marking of a few English GCSE papers in January, added: \"We are confident that our marking and awarding has been in line with regulatory requirements.\"",

            "input": "Dominic CascianiHome affairs correspondent@BBCDomCon Twitter By the end of Wednesday, one of the most controversial pieces of legislation in recent years is expected to be halfway to becoming law. The government's Justice and Security Bill has its Third Reading in the House of Lords, before it passes next door to be considered by MPs. The Bill's main purpose is to create a mechanism that allows court doors to close and evidence to be heard in secret where the government says it needs to keep information from the public, on grounds of national security. This power already exists, but it can only be used in a limited number of circumstances, largely relating to when government lawyers are presenting to judges a secret MI5 assessment about a terrorism suspect. The Justice and Security Bill expands the principle across all of the civil courts and it would allow the government to rely on a secret defence where it is the target of legal action - such as if it were being sued for alleged wrongdoing committed by MI5 or MI6. Ministers and Whitehall security chiefs say the legislation is necessary to allow the government to be able to adequately defend itself in cases where it believes it cannot do so in open court. To do so would be to risk exposing information that the public expects it to keep secret in the name of national security. This may not necessarily be the particular facts of a case - but rather information that gives away how the secret intelligence and security services work. In these cases, there would still be a public judgement - but there would also be a closed secret judgement which would contain the full reasoning why the government won or lost the case. Critics, including much of the legal world, say that secret court sessions, known in the jargon as a \"Closed Material Procedure\" (CMP), may assist secret agencies to defend themselves - but they would no longer allow someone who alleges wrongdoing to get a fair hearing. That's because the individual wouldn't be present in the hearings to challenge what is being said. They would have a security-vetted lawyer representing them - you can read more about how the system works in this earlier blog. So given the substantial opposition outside of Parliament, is the government getting its way? Last week, peers made three changes to the bill ahead of Wednesday's Third Reading. The key change was that peers voted to put the power to authorise closed hearings in the hands of a judge, taking it away from ministers. They also said that judges would have a duty to balance claims of what is good for national security with claims of what is good for justice. Finally, peers forced through an amendment that would allow either party to ask for CMP, not just ministers. All of these made bad headlines for the government and talk of coalition rifts. But core purpose of the bill - more use of secret evidence sessions - still stands. The amendments that passed introduce some procedural changes to how CMP would be triggered and used - but the attempts to wreck the bill completely failed. Labour's position became clear in the Lords debate. It appears prepared to support the bill through to law, providing there are amendments which it says benefit justice. But one of the harshest critics during the debate was Lord Macdonald, the former Director of Public Prosecutions. He told peers that if CMP were expanded, the damage would be to justice itself. On the other hand, the former security minister Baroness Pauline Neville-Jones argued that justice is damaged by failing to provide the government with a means of getting a fair hearing. Who's right? Well - this is the tricky part. There are said to be some 20-odd cases in which the government feels it cannot adequately defend itself at the moment because it cannot put its defence into open court. David Anderson QC, the terror laws watchdog, has seen material relating to three cases and concluded that CMP could be tolerable as a last resort, if there was no other fair way of ruling on them. But the Special Advocates, the security-vetted lawyers asked to act in secret cases where they already exist, don't know the full list because the Home Secretary won't tell them what it is. They say in the absence of this basic information, the government has not made a case for the Justice and Security Bill. The very people who will be charged with acting in these new cases remain unconvinced. So that's the problem as the bill goes on. A compelling argument from government that it is trying to defend itself with one hand tied behind its back - and a compelling argument against meddling with open justice. Will the bill get through? Some of its sternest critics believe the government will get its way in the New Year. The first big test may come soon afterwards, with the looming legal action by former Libyan dissidents who say the UK helped to organise their kidnap and transfer to Colonel Gaddafi's regime.",

Figures compiled by Scotland's Chief Statistician showed 290 fewer firefighters - a drop of 4% - in the year after the merger of eight former regional brigades. The number of support staff was reduced by 125, a fall of 12%. Staff form a major part of SFRS total operating costs, which it was required to reduce in 2013/14 - although the Scottish government ruled out compulsory redundancies. Voluntary severance Support services were one of the key areas where efficiency savings could be made following reform, bringing together functions like HR which were previously organised separately by the eight regional fire and rescue services. By the end of March 2014, total staffing had fallen during the course of the year from about 8,960 to 8,480. The figure included 70 people who left under a voluntary severance scheme. Assistant Chief Officer Lewis Ramsay, SFRS director of prevention and protection, said staff were devoted to providing Scotland with a world-class service protecting communities from the harm caused by fire. He said: \"The unification of eight fire services has better served our communities in terms of preventing fires, making cost efficiency savings and educating the public as to how to prevent fires in the first place. \"These reductions have been achieved through effectively streamlining and deploying staff where and when they were needed throughout the country.\" The figures show 60,000 smoke alarms were fitted during home safety visits in 2013/14 - an increase of more than a third on the previous year's total. Attacks on firefighters And they reveal the number of attacks on fire service personnel was down 12 to 69. The number of firefighters injured was down from four to two. Since 2010/11, the number of incidents where attacks on firefighters have occurred is down by 60%. Community Safety Minister Paul Wheelhouse said: \"I am extremely pleased to see that attacks on Scottish firefighters are decreasing but there is still more work to be done. \"Even one attack on the hardworking men and women who often put their own lives at risk to keep the people of Scotland safe is one too many.\"",

It has arranged overflow locations at Goodwick and Pembroke Dock for its own version of Dover's \"Operation Stack\", where lorries queue along the M20. \"The importance of Pembrokeshire's ports to the county, Wales and UK as a whole cannot be overestimated,\" said council leader David Simpson. On Anglesey, a temporary contraflow is in force on the A55 expressway, eastbound between junctions two and four, allowing any traffic turned away from the port to be redirected back. It will be moved to parking locations at Parc Cybi on the outskirts of the town, and if necessary, lorries will be parked on the cordoned-off A55 sections. \"We will monitor the situation carefully and as soon as it's safe to do so we will remove the temporary contraflow,\" said Mr Skates. \"While the next few days are expected to be quiet, we know it will become busier as we approach mid-January. \"Our aim is to do what we can to protect the port, town of Holyhead and wider community from any possible disruption.\" On Friday, port authorities on Anglesey said freight traffic has been quiet, as expected over the bank holiday period. It follows an steep rise in lorry crossings in the run up to Christmas and the end of the transition period. Ferry operator Stena Line is also responsible for running Holyhead Port. \"We can't get complacent over the next few days,\" said a Stena spokesman. \"It's when freight levels come back up that we'll know whether the systems are really working and whether the hauliers are ready. That will be the real test.\"",

            "input": "By Michelle RobertsHealth editor, BBC News online Vasalgel acts as a physical barrier once injected into the tubes that sperm would swim down to the penis. The company behind it says a two-year trial, published in Basic and Clinical Andrology, shows the gel works and is safe - at least in primates. It hopes to have enough evidence to begin tests in men within a few years. If those get funding and go well - two big \"ifs\" - it will seek regulatory approval to make the gel more widely available to men. It would be the first new type of male contraceptive to hit the market in many decades. Male birth control At the moment, men have two main options of contraceptive - wear a condom to catch the sperm, or have a sterilising operation (vasectomy) to cut or seal the two tubes that carry sperm to the penis from where they are made in the testicles. Vasalgel has the same end effect as vasectomy, but researchers hope it should be easier to reverse if a man later decides he wants to have children. In theory, another injection should dissolve the gel plug. That worked in early tests in rabbits, but the researchers have yet to prove the same in monkeys and man. Under anaesthetic The idea behind Vasalgel is not new. Another experimental male birth control gel - RISUG (reversible inhibition of sperm under guidance) - that works in a similar way to Vasalgel is being tested in men in India. Unlike RISUG, Vasalgel is not designed to impair the swimming sperm. It merely blocks their path while still letting other fluid through, according to the manufacturer. Both gels are given as an injection, under anaesthetic, and are meant to offer long-acting contraception. The monkey trial The University of California researchers tested the gel on 16 adult male monkeys, 10 of whom were already fathers. The monkeys were monitored for a week after getting the injection and were then released back into their an enclosure to rejoin some fertile females. Mating did occur, but none of the female monkeys became pregnant over the course of the study, which included two full breeding periods for some of the animals. Few of the male monkeys had side-effects, although one did need an operation because the injection did not go to plan and damaged one of his tubes. Allan Pacey, professor of andrology at the University of Sheffield, said: \"The study shows that, in adult male monkeys at least, the gel is an effective form of contraception. \"But in order for it to have a chance of replacing the traditional surgical method of vasectomy, the authors need to show that the procedure is reversible.\" He said there had been very little commercial interest from pharmaceutical companies in this kind of a approach. The non-profit company researching Vasalgel, the Parsemus Foundation, has used grants and fundraising to get this far. Prof Pacey said: \"The idea of a social venture company to develop the idea is intriguing. \"I would imagine there is a worldwide market for a new male contraceptive, but trials in humans and more long-term safety data are required before we will know if it is a success.\" This type of contraceptive wouldn't protect against sexually transmitted infections such as HIV. But in terms of willingness, experts believe men would be up for trying new contraceptives, such as a gel. Dr Anatole Menon-Johanssonm from the sexual health charity Brook, said: \"Some men do want to be part of the solution and do their part. \"If you can have more options available then maybe more men would go for it.\" He said the idea of a \"reversible vasectomy\" was desirable, whereas asking some men to take hormones to control their fertility might be \"a big ask\".

            "input": "Michael Reinoehl, 48, a self-described antifa supporter, was filmed shooting the man during last weekend's tension, and admitted to it before his death. Reinoehl earlier said he acted in self-defence when he shot Aaron Danielson, a supporter of the Patriot Prayer group. Police said he was armed and was shot during a confrontation with officers. Black Lives Matter protests have been taking place nightly in Portland since the killing of black man George Floyd in May. Last Saturday Trump supporters held a large rally and fought with anti-racism protesters in violent exchanges. Reinoehl, who regularly attended the protests, had told Vice News that he had thought he and a friend were going to be stabbed by Danielson. \"I had no choice. I mean, I, I had a choice. I could have sat there and watched them kill a friend of mine of colour. But I wasn't going to do that,\" he said. On Thursday President Trump had highlighted the killing of Danielson, tweeting \"Why aren't the Portland police arresting the cold blooded killer of Aaron \"Jay\" Danielson. Do your job, and do it fast.\". Antifa, short for \"anti-fascist\", is a loosely-affiliated network of mainly far-left activists. What do we know about the arrest? A warrant for Reinoehl's arrest was issued and he was located by agents on Thursday in Lacey, Washington about 120 miles (193km) north of Portland. Thurston County Sheriff's Lieutenant Ray Brady said it was not clear why the suspect was in Lacey and he did not believe the suspect lived at the address. Lieutenant Brady said the police were conducting surveillance when the suspect left the apartment and got into a vehicle in the road. \"There was a confrontation between the officers that were on scene and the subject,\" he said. \"The information we have at this time is that the subject was armed. There were shots that were fired into the vehicle and the subject fled from the vehicle, at which time there was additional shots that were fired.\" He said four officers fired their weapons. Who was Michael Reinoehl? Reinoehl was a regular participant in Portland's anti-racism demonstrations and was part of the protesters' security team that aimed to protect demonstrators from potential agitators. The father-of-two described himself on social media as an army veteran and professional snowboarder. He told Vice News he had not turned himself in to police after shooting Danielson because he believed right-wing protesters were collaborating with police who would not protect him. \"I am 100% ANTIFA all the way!\" Reinoehl posted on Instagram in June and he suggested that the counter-protesters' tactics amounted to \"warfare\", according to US media. \"Nightly, he would break up fights [...] He wanted change so badly,\" a friend of Reinoehl, Randal McCorkle, told the New York Times. On 26 July he told AP that he had been shot in his arm after intervening in a fight between an armed white man and a group of young black people. In July, while the protests were ongoing, he was told to appear in court on charges of carrying a loaded gun in public and resisting arrest. In a separate case he was charged with driving under the influence of controlled substances, reckless driving, reckless endangerment and unlawful possession of a firearm after he raced his 17-year-old son on an interstate road. Several hundred protesters gathered in Portland following the shooting on Thursday and one sign in the street outside a police station read: \"There's blood on your hands. You murdered Michael Reinoehl.\" Why have there been clashes in Portland? Reinoehl was suspected of shooting Danielson during clashes on Saturday night when a large procession of supporters of President Trump clashed with Black Lives Matter protesters. The shooting came amid fights between the Trump supporters and BLM protesters in the city centre. Tension rose after a convoy of some 600 vehicles flying flags and carrying an estimated 1,000 Trump backers proceeded through central Portland. Video showed some people firing what local media described as pepper spray and pellets at BLM groups who had tried to prevent them entering the city by blocking streets. The city has become a flashpoint for tension with some violence between between far-right groups, such as Proud Boys and Patriot Prayer, and left-wing counter-demonstrators known as antifa, or anti-fascist movement. On Thursday Oregon Governor Kate Brown and Democratic officials condemned the violence that had taken place in Portland, writing \"The violence must stop. There is no place for white supremacy or vigilantism in Oregon.",

He's been running a Facebook page since 2010, and was surprised when he saw that a number of his posts detailing the recent events in Myanmar's Rakhine state were being deleted. Much of the content included graphic depictions of violence, but Facebook's guidelines generally allow such images if they deem them to be in the public interest, rather than \"shared for sadistic pleasure or to celebrate or glorify violence.\" Hossain says he has contacts living in Myanmar who regularly send him images and videos of the conflict unfolding there. \"We are getting so many images, all of them are graphic. If we are not showing these graphic images to the world, what will we show?\" Hossain tells BBC Trending. 'Posts being deleted' Hossain is one of a number of Rohingya activists who have had accounts or videos taken down by big social networks in the wake of the conflict in the region. And the issue is not confined to Facebook. Hossain is also one of the activists who runs the YouTube channel Arakan News Agency. \"There was nearly 60,000 subscribers and suddenly YouTube deleted that channel. That is not what we were expecting from social media. We were trying to highlight our issue but social media platforms are blocking us,\" Hossain says. Listen to BBC Trending radio on the BBC World Service After Trending contacted YouTube, the company said the channel had received several \"strikes\" in quick succession, which resulted in the suspension - but that they had taken the decision to reinstate it. You may also like: The issue Hossain is trying to highlight is, to say the least, a complex one involving violence and competing narratives. Since last month, more than 400,000 mainly Muslim Rohingya have fled from Myanmar to neighbouring Bangladesh amid a military crackdown in Myanmar's Rakhine state, which the UN says could amount to ethnic cleansing. According to human rights groups, the military have been burning Rohingya villages. Yet the army says it is responding to attacks by militants and denies targeting civilians. Reality Check: Are Suu Kyi's Rohingya claims correct? Some of the posts Facebook removed from Shah Hossain's page are very graphic. One shows a group of men digging a grave for women lying lifeless on the ground. Another video shows a young boy, naked and looking disorientated, with a gash on his head and covered in what looks like ash. The men at the scene say that the boy has suffered burns after militants torched their village. BBC Trending has not been able to independently verify the authenticity of either of these videos. But Hossain's story is not an isolated one. And not all of the activist posts being removed are graphic. Nay San Lwin, a Rohingya activist based in Germany, runs a network of local activists in Rakhine state. Lwin regularly posts comments on his Facebook page in Burmese detailing what he hears is happening on the ground. Lwin says text-only posts containing allegations against the Burmese military have been taken down, along with posts including poems. The fake pictures of the Rohingya crisis \"My colleague based in Kuala Lumpur was posting very simple news [items] in English,\" he says. \"Those were removed by Facebook and his account was frozen for 72 hours.\" He has thousands of followers on social media, which he says also makes him a target for abuse: \"They have sent me death threats because I am posting all this information on my Facebook page.\" Lwin believes the removal of the posts is part of a campaign by government or government backers to discredit Rohingya online by reporting their posts to social media companies. The allegation is difficult to prove but has also been made by human rights groups. \"We've had reports from a number of Rohingya activists that we know and work with who have had their Facebook and Twitter accounts or their posts being deleted,\" says Laura Haigh, Amnesty International's Burma researcher. \"It's actually unclear where this is coming from and why,\" Haigh says. \"What we understand from these activists is the providers, whether it's Facebook or Twitter, are receiving a large number of complaints about their posts. There are a range of posts being removed, and a lot of it from activists who are known to be reporting on the situation in the Rakhine state.\" \"It's all part of a propaganda war that's going on behind the scenes here,\" she says.

            "input": "The military's move followed days of mass anti-government protests and Morsi's rejection of an ultimatum from the generals to resolve Egypt's worst political crisis since Hosni Mubarak was deposed in 2011. Four months after he was toppled, Morsi went on trial alongside 14 senior figures from the Islamist Muslim Brotherhood movement, accused of inciting his supporters to murder a journalist and two opposition protesters, and ordering the torture and unlawful detention of others. The charges related to clashes between opposition protesters and Muslim Brotherhood supporters outside the Ittihadiya presidential palace in Cairo in December 2012. At the first hearing, he shouted from the dock that he was the victim of a \"military coup\" and rejected the authority of the courts to try him. He was acquitted of murder but jailed for 20 years for ordering the torture and detention of protesters. Morsi subsequently faced a raft of other charges, and was sentenced to death, although the conviction was overturned. He was on trial for espionage when he died in court on 17 June 2019. Islamist MP Mohammed Morsi was born in the village of El-Adwah in the Nile Delta province of Sharqiya in 1951. He studied Engineering at Cairo University in the 1970s before moving to the United States to complete a PhD. After returning to Egypt he became head of the engineering department at Zagazig University. He rose through the ranks of the Muslim Brotherhood and served as an independent in the movement's parliamentary bloc from 2000 to 2005. As an MP, he was occasionally praised for his oratorical performances, for example after a rail disaster in 2002 when he denounced official incompetence. Morsi was chosen as the Muslim Brotherhood's presidential candidate in April 2012 after the movement's deputy general guide, millionaire businessman Khairat al-Shater, was forced to pull out. In his election campaign, Morsi presented himself as a bulwark against any revival of the old guard of Hosni Mubarak. Mass protests When he came to power in June 2012 after a narrow election victory, Morsi promised to head a government \"for all Egyptians\". But critics complained he had failed to deliver during his turbulent year in office. They accused him of allowing Islamists to monopolise the political scene, concentrating power in the hands of the Muslim Brotherhood. Moreover, they said he had mishandled the economy and failed to deal with the very issues that led to the uprising that brought him to power: calls for rights and social justice. Public opposition to Morsi began building in November 2012 when, wishing to ensure that the Islamist-dominated constituent assembly could finish drafting a new constitution, the president issued a decree granting himself far-reaching powers. Amid increasing unrest, Morsi issued a further decree authorising the armed forces to protect national institutions and polling places until a referendum on a draft constitution was held on 15 December 2012. Critics said that decree amounted to a form of martial law and clashes between Morsi's opponents and supporters left more than 50 people dead. Mass protests were held to mark the first anniversary of the day Morsi took office, and millions took to the streets across Egypt. 'Coup' The military warned Morsi that it would intervene if he did not satisfy the public's demands within 48 hours. On the evening of 3 July, the army suspended the constitution and announced the formation of a technocratic interim government ahead of new presidential elections. Morsi denounced the action as a \"coup\". His arrest was ordered by then armed forces chief - and now president - Abdul Fattah al-Sisi - and he was taken by the army to an undisclosed location, and was not heard from for weeks. His supporters took to the streets of Cairo, demanding his release and immediate return to power. The army responded by breaking up two protest camps in the capital by force on 14 August and arresting key Brotherhood figures. Almost 1,000 people were killed in a crackdown the interim authorities portrayed as a struggle against \"terrorism\". In the years that followed Morsi's removal, Egypt witnessed an upsurge of violence by Islamist insurgents, and a brutal crackdown on the Brotherhood movement which was declared a terrorist group. Morsi disappeared from public view, apart from periodic court appearances. In the meantime, his predecessor Hosni Mubarak was freed from jail - a signal to many that Egypt had not particularly moved on since before the elections which brought Morsi, briefly, to power.",

They were offered replacement flights but the planes depart late next week. Easyjet said the strike was outside its control and was \"doing everything possible to limit the inconvenience\". 'No rooms left' Robert Carroll travelled to Spain 11-days ago for a family holiday with his wife and three children in Salou. Their flight home from Barcelona to Belfast was cancelled on Wednesday afternoon, on the first day of a two-day strike by air traffic controllers in France. The dispute, over working conditions, led to several airlines cancelling hundreds of flights across Europe. The couple, who are both due back at work in Northern Ireland, had not budgeted for an extra week in Spain. Mr Carroll described a scene of delays and confusion when they got to their airport in Barcelona. \"After waiting in a queue for Easyjet for three hours, we were told we were going to a hotel, so we queued for a bus for another hour,\" he told BBC Radio Ulster. After the family were bussed to the hotel, they said they had to queue at reception for an hour and a half before being told that there were no rooms left. 'Unpaid leave' \"They then sent us back to the terminal, who then sent us to another hotel, who told us they can only take us for two nights,\" Mr Carroll said. \"So we're here for two nights. Then after that we have to make our way back to the terminal, at a cost of 60 euros (£44) to ourselves, to find out where we're going to stay for another couple of nights.\" Mr Carroll said he accepted that Easyjet had no control over the strike, but criticised the airline for \"sending us to places that don't have any rooms\". He added that his wife has had to take unpaid leave from her job because of the unforeseen extension to their stay. 'Spending money' Although Easyjet is providing a replacement flight and free accommodation, the family are running low on money. \"If we had to go out and spend money it would have to come out of money to pay for other things We have been in Salou for 11 days so our spending money is depleted,\" Mr Carroll said. Brenda Hughes was trying to get home to Belfast after a week's holiday in Benidorm, Spain, with her elderly mother and teenage son. She said they were told their flight home was cancelled shortly after they checked their bags in at Alicante airport on Wednesday night. Ms Hughes described the situation in the airport as \"horrendous\". 'Time off' She said they had to stand in a queue for six hours, waiting to speak to the two Easyjet staff members on the information desk. The airline has offered the family a replacement flight home but no seats are available until next Thursday, 16 April. Ms Hughes said it will mean her son will miss a week of school and she will have to take extra time off from her job as a GP receptionist in Belfast. She added that her 76-year-old mother requires daily medication and does not have enough tablets to last another week in Spain. Ms Hughes also criticised staff at the airport, saying passengers, including children and elderly people, were not offered as a much as \"a sip of water\" during the six-hour wait. The family were bussed to a hotel at about 03:00 local time on Thursday. Ms Hughes said they have no money left after their holiday and are concerned about the cost of food in their four-star hotel. Apology In a statement to the BBC, an Easyjet spokesperson said the airline \"worked hard to secure hotel rooms and transferred all passenger onto alternative flights free of charge\". \"Due to the high demand on these routes some upcoming flights may not be available, but our airport staff are currently looking at other rerouting options for passengers.\" \"Although this is outside of our control, EasyJet would like to apologise to its customers for any inconvenience caused.\" Addressing the accommodation complaints, the airline said it has \"booked two nights for passengers at the moment as we do expect some will travel back on their own accord\". \"We will continue to review the situation and provide hotel rooms for passengers until the next flights are available.\"",

            "input": "By Reality Check teamBBC News Since 2014, the number of A-level entries in arts subjects, which include drama, music and art, in England has fallen by 13,000, almost 17%. Similarly, there has been an 8% decrease in modern languages and more than a 25% decline in English. Meanwhile, entries in science, technology, engineering and maths (known as Stem subjects) have increased by 15,500, a rise of 6%. Subjects do go in and out of fashion - but to what extent have policy changes had an impact? 'Important' subjects Jon Andrews, deputy head of research at the Education Policy Institute, says the recent decrease in arts entries at A-level is likely to be linked to similar declines seen at GCSE. He says recent changes in school performance measures in England have pushed students away from arts subjects, in favour of ones the government wants prioritised. These include Progress 8 and the linked English Baccalaureate (EBacc), introduced by the Department of Education in 2010. The EBacc system encourages the grouping of subjects that the government says are \"important\" for students to study at GCSE, with schools measured by how many take a combination that must include: Similarly, Progress 8, established in 2016, assesses a student's progress on eight subjects: Since the introduction of these measures, there has been an increase in all EBacc subjects at GCSEs (except for modern languages) - and this has widened the pool for their uptake at A-level. And there has been a decrease in entries to subjects not explicitly mentioned by the policy, such as economics, religious studies, physical education and the arts. Progress 8 does leave room for arts subjects under the \"other\" category and the government says that the proportion of pupils taking at least one art subject at GCSE has remained broadly stable. However, the Education Policy Institute disputes this, arguing that by limiting subject slots that can be filled by non-EBacc subjects, arts subjects are being squeezed out. Its analysis shows the proportion of pupils taking at least one arts subject fell from 57.1% in 2014 to 53.5% in 2016 - and with more schools adopting the EBacc measures, this trend may continue. Overall, the number of entries for arts GCSEs has decreased by 30,000. Reforms criticised The reforms came with major changes to course syllabuses in England, including GCSE English, which were aimed at making the subjects tougher. The Association of School and College Leaders (ASCL) has called the reforms \"a joyless slog\", with pressure to memorise more quotes from a narrower field of texts. They believe that this is part of the reason for the decline in English A-Levels. The government points out that English still remains one of the most popular subjects and argue that \"the reformed GCSEs in English are better preparing pupils for further study at A-level.\" Decoupling of A-Levels The recent separation - or decoupling as it's known - of AS-levels and A-levels in England could also be a factor. \"Students may previously have done three A-Levels plus one AS-level and may have done an arts subject as their additional subject,\" says Jill Stokoe, a policy advisor at the National Education Union. This is speculative, she says, but English A-level uptake has fallen by 20% since the decoupling began in 2017 and a survey by the English and Media Centre (EMC), a charity which supports English education, suggests decoupling has been a key factor in the reduction. This means English might be one of the subjects losing out as result of the limiting of choices at the start of A-levels. The exams and qualifications regulator, Ofqual, says that part of the move away from arts and English is due to the shift to Stem subjects - something the government has actively encouraged. The National Audit Office estimates that between 2007 and 2017, about £990m has been spent on \"enhancing Stem skills\", both for teachers and pupils. Does it matter? Groups, including the British Council, the Incorporated Society of Musicians and Creative Industries Federation (CIF), have raised concerns over the decrease in arts subjects. The CIF says the exclusion of arts subjects from the EBacc has signalled to schools \"that creativity is not fundamental to future skills and jobs\". The government says that the creative sector is worth £92bn. Interestingly, there's no indication yet that changes in subject choice in school exams have had a direct impact on university choices. Statistics from the Higher Education Statistics Agency show the proportion of students taking up non-science subjects at university has remained relatively constant. A government official said: \"We have reformed A-levels to meet the expectations of universities and employers and our new gold standard GCSEs are more rigorous to match the best education systems in the world, better preparing young people for further study and the workplace.\" This piece was originally published in August 2018, but has been updated to reflect new data.

It said the council tax had built-in problems \"from day one\" but a failure to modify it had stored up more difficulties for policy makers. The commission, set up by the Scottish government and council body Cosla, will report back later this year. Prof Kenneth Gibb, from the University of Glasgow, was asked to review different systems of local taxation across the world. He found that a tax on property was used by almost all OECD countries and was seen by academics as a \"good tax\" because it was stable, difficult to avoid and could have a desirable impact on housing markets. 'No link to income' But it also generated confusion with taxpayers unclear whether it was a tax on wealth or a charge for services such as refuse collection. Some felt it was unfair because it was not linked to current income. Prof Gibb noted that a local income tax, used by many countries, was generally perceived as fairer. But he found such a system created difficulties for local authorities because it meant their income fluctuated. There was also little opportunity to vary tax rates to reflect local priorities. He said: \"It is clear there is no magic bullet. \"Past experience from the UK and across the world shows that reform is always going to be difficult and will inevitably be bound up with the previous experiences and traumas of past reform. \"So whilst the current council tax has many deficiencies, change and reform is a major undertaking.\" The commission now intends to hold a public consultation across Scotland before publishing its report in the autumn. A Scottish government spokesman said ministers consider the current council tax system \"as a whole to be unfair\". He added: \"That is why, along with our local government partners, we have established the cross-party Commission on Local Tax Reform to examine fairer alternatives. \"The Scottish government awaits the commission's report, which is due in the Autumn.\"",

But the prime minister declined to back a Tory pledge from 2015 that also ruled out rises in the other two taxes. The Institute for Fiscal Studies said the 2015 move had been a \"bad policy\". IFS analysts Helen Miller and Barra Roantree said: \"This so-called 'tax lock' is a serious constraint because these three taxes contribute almost two-thirds of tax revenues. \"A government that wanted, or thought it might be necessary, to raise additional revenues in future would be foolish to tie their hands by ruling out increases in these workhorse taxes.\" Mrs May said she would not be making \"specific proposals\" on taxes unless she was \"absolutely sure\" they could be delivered. She later said the Conservatives \"won't be increasing VAT\". Labour, which has also ruled out a VAT rise, said it would deliver \"low taxes for low and medium earners\" if it won the general election on 8 June. Chancellor Philip Hammond's recent U-turn on a planned increase in taxes for the self-employed \"highlights the problems with the tax lock\", the IFS said. Mr Hammond was forced to drop the plans after criticism that he was breaking the spirit of the Tories' 2015 election pledge. Tax squeeze Whoever wins the election needs room to manoeuvre because the government's reliance on tax income is set to reach its highest since the early 1980s, the IFS said. It forecasts that by 2019-20 tax receipts will be at the highest share of national income, at 34.4%, since 1981-82. Where will the tax take come from in 2017-18? Source: IFS \"The next government, whatever its colour, will face pressure to maintain this increase in tax revenues, and possibly to raise further revenues,\" said Ms Miller and Mr Roantree. After the last five elections, chancellors have routinely increased taxes in the 12 months that followed, they said. The government raised an extra £3.5bn in tax after the 2015 election, while after the previous four elections ministers raised an extra £7.5bn on average, the think tank said.",

Community curator Marek Romaniszyn said: \"I wasn't expecting to get a bong mask but it certainly tells a story.\" First staged in 1999, Leeds is the sister festival to Reading, the world's oldest popular music festival, and the museum wanted to reflect the event's place in popular culture.

The clear-up operation afterwards provided some interesting finds. \"There was an empty bottle of tequila, a guitar string and a guest pass tick list,\" said Mr Romaniszyn. \"A bottle on its own doesn't mean much but attached to a huge band, it means so much more.\" Mr Romaniszyn said: \"Surprise Fire sent us their drink of choice - a can of Relentless and a can of Fosters which they mixed together. \"This kind of detail is great for our archives because it signifies what it means to be young - for those trying to make it in the industry and how important a gig like this is.\" The collection also features pictures of revellers, posters and broken piano keys.

            "input": "Mr Miliband promised to reverse controversial changes to housing benefit and extend childcare. He also pledged to increase the minimum wage to help with the cost of living. Meanwhile a senior party figure has said people earning £60,000 were \"not rich\" and the tax rise focus should be \"the privileged few rifght at the top\". Mr Miliband said he wanted to \"send a very clear signal\" that it was wrong that millions of working people in the UK could not afford to bring up their families properly. The Labour leader said: Mr Miliband said the housing benefit cut - affecting social tenants in England, Scotland and Wales deemed to have spare bedrooms - would be scrapped. Earlier on Saturday, shadow communities and local government secretary Hilary Benn told the BBC Radio 4's Today programme the housing benefit change was a \"cruel and unfair policy\" which \"undermined families and communities\" and did not work because there were no smaller properties for people to move in to. Critics have called the cut a \"bedroom tax\" however the government said it was tackling a \"spare room subsidy\" which was unavailable in the private room sector, and that the £23bn-a-year housing benefit bill must be cut. Mr Miliband told a crowd in Brighton: \"Abolishing the bedroom tax. Strengthening the national minimum wage. Childcare there for parents who need it. That's what I mean by tackling the cost of living crisis at this conference. That's what I mean by a government that fights for you.\" The Labour leader added that the national minimum wage was \"one of the proudest achievements of the last Labour government\" but it was falling behind price rises under the coalition government. He pledged to strengthen it. If the national minimum wage had risen in line with the cost of living it would be 45p an hour higher than the current level, which is due to rise next month from £6.19 to £6.31, he explained. Tory chairman Grant Shapps said: \"Conservatives back the minimum wage. \"But if Ed Miliband was really on the side of hardworking people then he would have supported our welfare changes to ensure work always pays and should have voted in favour of halving the amount of income tax someone working full-time on the minimum wage pays.\" Mr Miliband criticised Mr Cameron's record as one of \"tax cuts for millionaires, tax cuts for hedge funds, tobacco lobbyists in Downing Street\". It was the \"forgotten wealth creators - the people who put in the hours, who do the work, who do two jobs, who do the shifts\" that should be supported, he said. 'Cruel and unfair policy' The speech came after Rachel Reeves, deputy to shadow chancellor Ed Balls, told the Daily Telegraph what incomes she thought should be considered for tax changes. \"The focus should be on those privileged few right at the top, and that's not people earning £50,000 or £60,000 a year,\" she said. \"If you're a single-earner family in the South East on (that income), you don't feel particularly rich, and you'd be aggrieved that people earning between £150,000 and £1 million are getting a tax cut.\" A Liberal Democrat document leaked earlier this week suggested the party was considering increasing taxes for people earning more than £50,000. Senior Lib Dem Vince Cable said the proposal was not government policy and he did not know where it had come from. The average annual wage of full-time workers in the UK was £26,500 in the year to April 2012, according to figures published by the Office for National Statistics in its annual survey of hours and earnings last November. Labour has also promised to make childcare a key part of its manifesto. Of their plan for schools to extend their opening times, Mr Miliband said it \"doesn't make sense in this century\" that some schools still close in mid-afternoon when parents are usually at work. Shadow home secretary Yvette Cooper said \"most jobs don't fit neatly with school hours\". She added: \"We know parents with early starts, or commutes to work, need childcare they can rely on. \"Childcare is now as vital to our economic infrastructure as transport, housing or IT.\" At present some schools offer breakfast clubs and after-school clubs to help working parents, but Labour says many of these have closed due to government cuts. Labour deputy leader Harriet Harman told the Independent she was \"determined\" mothers and fathers should be entitled to transfer part of their flexible parental leave to grandparents, enabling them to return to work. Responding to Labour's plans in the Guardian, Treasury minister Sajid Javid said: \"Despite promising 'discipline' on borrowing, Ed Miliband has shown he is too weak to deliver. Nothing has changed - it's the same old Labour.\"",

            "input": "By Leo KelionTechnology desk editor The Chinese company already dominates the consumer market for drones. The Osmo Action uses image-stabilisation software to smooth out its video, rather than using the electronic motors found in the Osmo Pocket and other handheld gimbals. This mirrors the approach of GoPro's Hero 7 Black. But DJI's model has the advantage of a colour front-screen. The 1.4in display should help frame selfie photos and videos, while its rear 2.25in touchscreen is also slightly larger than that of the GoPro. Otherwise the devices are closely matched, both offering: Camera reviewer Kaiman Wong is one of the first people to have carried out a side-by-side comparison of the competing products. \"With stabilisation, the DJI seemed a lot smoother across all five axes of movement - the footage seemed to glide along, you almost don't need a gimbal now,\" he told the BBC. \"And the front screen is pretty good. It doesn't show the full width of the shot, but it's good to know when you are in frame. For vloggers, myself included, it's a very useful feature to have.\" He added that so far he had found few downsides to the newer device. \"There is a slight lag in the DJI's display when using the stabilisation, but you can live with it and it may not be an issue [after a software update].\" Other reviewers have noted that the Osmo Action lacks GPS location-tracking and has more basic facilities to share images to social media. It is also unable to live-stream footage via a smartphone app, which the GoPro flagship can do. Action sports GoPro has become synonymous with the market for action cameras, which are targeted at snow-boarders, surfers, sky divers, and other extreme sports enthusiasts as well as professionals who do not want to risk more expensive equipment in high-risk shoots. As smartphones have become more rugged and waterproof, this market has become squeezed. The Hero 7's built-in stabilisation had become a key driver to convince existing owners to upgrade. DJI will sell the Osmo Action for £329 when it begins deliveries this week. That is £50 below the cost of the Hero 7 Black. However, GoPro is currently bundling a microSD card, which helps narrow the difference. Under pressure The seventh-generation Hero helped the US firm post its first quarterly profit in more than a year in February, although it subsequently fell back into a loss over the following three months. Having ditched its own drone business last year and not updated its 360-degree Fusion camera since it was unveiled in September 2017, GoPro is now heavily dependent on its action cameras to drive revenues. As a private company, Shenzhen-based DJI does not release equivalent financial data of its own, and has a wider portfolio of products to fall back on. In its favour, GoPro has established widespread distribution deals with physical retailers, making its cameras a common sight in high street stores. But Mr Wong said DJI's entry into the market would put the American firm under pressure ahead of its next product cycle. \"The changes made to the last three to four evolutions of GoPro's action cameras have not been groundbreaking,\" he explained. \"And anything that GoPro does now may almost seem like a 'we-can-do-that-too' response to DJI.\"",

In the survey of 18 countries, 79% of respondents said they worried about what was fake and what was real on the internet. But in only two countries, China and the UK, did a majority want their governments to regulate the internet. The BBC carried out a similar survey in 2010. Only 15 countries were covered by both polls. From this subset of respondents, 58% said the internet should never be regulated in the latest survey, up from 51% when the same question was asked seven years ago. When it came to regulation, 67% of Chinese respondents now liked the idea, while opinion was more finely balanced in the UK, with 53% in favour. The countries where people were most hostile to regulation were Greece with 84% and Nigeria, where 82% of people opposed the idea. The survey of more than 16,000 adults was conducted by Globescan between January and April. Hazy line Concerns about what is real and what is not on the internet have mounted after a year in which the term fake news has become both commonplace and profitable, with false stories shared on Facebook earning their creators hefty sums through advertising. Brazilians were most worried about the hazy line between the real and the fake, with 92% reporting some concern. In a number of other developing countries there was a high level of unease, with figures of 90% in Indonesia, 88% in Nigeria and 85% in Kenya. Germany was the only nation surveyed where a narrow majority - 51% - said they were not worried about this issue. In the run-up to the country's election there have been determined efforts in Germany to root out fake news. Globescan's chairman Doug Miller said: \"These poll findings suggest that the era of 'fake news' may be as significant in reducing the credibility of on-line information as Edward Snowden's 2013 National Security Agency (NSA) surveillance revelations were in reducing people's comfort in expressing their opinions online.\" There is growing anxiety about expressing opinions online. In the 15 countries that have been regularly tracked in this poll, 53% felt unsafe doing this, compared to 49% in 2010. But there was a marked difference between attitudes in the developed and developing world. In Nigeria, Peru and China there were big majorities confident about expressing opinions, but in Europe and North America there was far more anxiety, with the French and the Greeks least likely to want to speak freely. As global use of the internet grows, there also appears to be mounting enthusiasm for it to be seen as something to which everyone should be entitled. 53% of those questioned agreed that access to the internet should be a fundamental right, with much bigger majorities agreeing in Brazil, Greece and India. The survey highlights some differences between men and women in attitudes to the internet. Men are still more likely to use it, with 78% saying they had been online in the last six months, compared to 71% of women. And women were somewhat less likely than men to feel safe expressing their views online. That anxiety was most pronounced in developed countries. In France just 14% felt safe, whereas in the UK the figure was 36%, and in the USA 35%. British women were also more concerned about fake content than men, and were more keen to see some regulation of the internet.",

Once hijacked, the TVs could be made to send messages on behalf of attackers, find other vulnerable devices in a home or launch other attacks across the net. Detecting and stopping the attack would be difficult, said the researchers. The attack uses the Hybrid Broadcast Broadband TV (HbbTV) standard that is widely supported in smart television sets sold in Europe. The HbbTV system was designed to help broadcasters exploit the internet connection of a smart TV to add extra information to programmes or so advertisers can do a better job of targeting viewers. But Yossef Oren and Angelos Keromytis, from the Network Security Lab, at Columbia University, have found a way to hijack HbbTV using a cheap antenna and carefully crafted broadcast messages. \"For this attack you do not need an internet address, you do not need a server,\" Mr Oren told Forbes. \"You just need a roof and an antenna and once you are done with your attack, there's completely no trace of you.\" By exploiting loopholes in HbbTV, smart TVs could be hijacked by attackers and used to do anything their real owners would do. For instance, the researchers said, if owners had logged in to Facebook via a TV app, the attack could be used to post messages on the social network on that person's behalf. Alternatively, wrote the researchers in a paper, the loopholes could be used to bombard a target website with data or to log spurious votes or clicks. It could also be used to scan devices inside a home network for vulnerabilities or display on-screen notices asking for credit card or other sensitive information. In areas where lots of people owned smart TVs, a $250 (£150) antenna could reach thousands of people, said Mr Oren. A bigger antenna could extend the reach of the attack considerably, he added. Millions of smart TVs use HbbTV across Europe, and more than 60 broadcasters in the region have signed up to use the technology. Mr Oren said the standards body that oversaw HbbTV had been told about the security loophole. However, he added, the body did not think the threat from the attack was serious enough to require a re-write of the technology's security.",

            "input": "By Natalie ShermanBusiness reporter, New York Since the US shut down en masse in March, mum-of-three Paula, who lives in New Hampshire, has paid off some $20,000 (£15,270) in credit card debt the family had racked up in the aftermath of an unexpectedly expensive work relocation. The 35-year-old's job as an analyst ended in June, but her husband is still working and she benefited from a temporary $600 boost to weekly unemployment payments Congress approved in response to the crisis. She put coronavirus stimulus cheques from the government towards the credit card payments, as well as thousands of dollars the family has saved since their children are not attending day care, preschool or summer camp. Already frugal when it came to eating out, the family has become even more so, she says. Their one big splurge has been bicycles. \"The quarantine has been very helpful to save money for us,\" she says. \"We were at home, which was madness, pure madness but… I think it saved us financially.\" Savings surge The personal saving rate in the US - an average that reflects the share of income people have put away after spending and tax payments - nearly quadrupled between February and April, when it hit an all-time record of 33.6%. Though lockdowns have eased since then, savings remain unusually high, boosted by government coronavirus assistance. In August, the personal saving rate in the US was 14.1% - greater than any pre-pandemic time since 1975. The rise helped Americans' household wealth rebound to a record high in the three months to July, while overall debt declined for the first time since 2014. \"What's unique about this situation is that government programmes have supported household incomes but business closures limited their spending opportunities and so we've seen... record personal saving rates,\" says Sara Johnson, executive director of global economics at IHS Markit. Rich-poor divide Those circumstances are poised to change, however, as government aid runs out. In the US, the $600 expansion to weekly unemployment payments expired at the end of July - and politicians in Washington remain at an impasse when it comes to further relief. At a hearing in Washington this month, the head of America's central bank outlined the risks ahead. \"Savings are very high,\" Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell said, citing government aid. \"But 11 million people are out of work and the risk is that over time, they go through those savings and so their spending will decline, their ability to stay in their homes will decline and the economy will feel those negative effects.\" Government support had helped mask sharp differences in how much individual families have managed to put away, but research has found the richest households, who are also less likely to have lost jobs or income, have driven much of the increased saving. As financial support from the government winds down, the divide between rich and poor is expected to grow, as people who have lost jobs are forced to dig into savings to cover their expenses. \"People with higher incomes are doing more of the saving and people with very low incomes have been saving a little bit... but there's an open question about whether that will continue,\" says Olivia White, partner at McKinsey & Co, which has surveyed households in 30 countries about pandemic finances. 'Emergency fund' Meanwhile, economists warn richer households are likely to continue to limit their spending until health concerns are more clearly resolved and the economy is in better shape. In Tennessee, 35-year-old John Kennedy and his wife, who both work in education, have been putting away an extra $2,000 to $4,000 a month since March, thanks to reduced childcare costs, fewer work lunches and coffees, and the elimination of date nights and other entertainment. Some of those expenses, like childcare, will return. But he says he has no plans to start spending more significantly, given the wider economic uncertainty. \"We're saving more than we've ever saved and part of it is just because we can, but then the other part is we almost feel like we need to,\" he says. \"Depending on how things shake out in the next six to 12 months, ideally we're both employed still but if not then that emergency slash savings fund is just the emergency fund.\" The potential for prolonged pullback bodes ill for the rebound in the US, where consumer spending drives more than two-thirds of the economy. \"The pandemic has delivered a major hit to consumer spending and it's really the sector of the economy to watch which signals how the recovery will unfold,\" says IHS Markit's Sara Johnson. Consumer spending started to rebound over the summer, fuelling hopes that the level of savings might power a rapid recovery. But the rate of increase has since slowed. Even if spending were to recover overall, ongoing restrictions in many sectors such as travel, mean those hurt most financially due to the virus won't be well-positioned to benefit, warns Michaela Pagel, a professor at Columbia Business School. \"People cannot spend in those areas where people lost their jobs,\" she says. \"They cannot generate income for people who really need it.\"",

            "input": "By Gemma HandyBethesda, Antigua But none though, as you might expect, are dressed in white and brandish cricket gear. In fact, the pastoral surrounds of the legendary cricketer's eponymous venue are a popular hangout for the island's donkeys too. Once the lifeblood of the sugar industry, these gentle equines helped put the Caribbean country on the map well before the \"Master Blaster\". It is not just outdoor arenas they like. They can also be seen careering through crops, gate-crashing gardens, or just plodding serenely along roads in their constant hunt for food. The decline of the sugar industry, and increase in modern transportation, may have rendered Antigua's donkeys redundant but that has done little to curtail their population. While some continued to be used on farms and to lug produce to and from market, they were largely left to fend for themselves after the doors closed on the last sugar factory in the 1970s. Today, the donkeys are one of the last vestiges of the roaring industry which helped build the British Empire, along with the dozens of centuries-old sugar mills which pepper the landscape. These leftovers from the sweet old days have called the island home for almost 400 years, says local historian Reginald Murphy. \"Donkeys and horses would have arrived with the first English settlers in the 1630s, and were likely bred to get mules,\" he tells the BBC. \"They were beasts of burden, used to carry sugarcane on the plantations and they may have been used to power certain kinds of cane-crushing mills too.\" Save for a minority that still use them for cheap transportation, most people have little use for donkeys these days. \"As a kid I remember people in the villages loading up their donkeys with produce from their farms and sending them back home; they knew the way all on their own,\" Mr Murphy recalls. \"Now everybody has a pick-up truck.\" One place the amiable creatures can find refuge is at Antigua's Donkey Sanctuary in Bethesda, which has become a popular tourist attraction. The 43-acre site is home to 150 jacks, jennies and foals. Its executive director Karen Corbin estimates up to 400 more are roaming wild, breeding at will. \"They cause a lot of trouble for crops,\" she says. \"Farmers work very hard; 10 donkeys can destroy that in minutes.\" The shelter's Carol-Faye Bynoe agrees: \"They also break irrigation lines, crash through people's gardens and overturn garbage bins looking for food. \"And they're smart too; they know how to turn on standpipes to get water. Unfortunately, they neglect to turn them back off again.\" On top of the impact on the human populace, the vagrant lifestyle is tough for the donkeys too. Many arrived at the sanctuary as a result of injury or mistreatment. \"Some came in with deep lacerations from being slashed with a cutlass or a rope embedded in the neck,\" Ms Bynoe says. \"One had a broken hip from a car accident and one female had a severe limp from being tethered so tightly with nylon her foot was almost amputated.\" Stevie, one of the sanctuary's long-term residents, is totally blind following a collision with a car. Staffs think he may have been ridden into the capital by children. \"Kids like to ride donkeys but they can be cruel, flogging them, not hydrating them properly and tying them without shade,\" Ms Bynoe says. \"But Stevie copes just like a blind person; all his other senses are heightened. He's a marvel.\" Donkeys can live to be as old as 50 and with each one costing $250 (£191) a year to care for, the charity-run sanctuary is under constant pressure to fundraise. Collectively, the animals consume 750 gallons of water and a lorry-load of guinea grass every day. One way they earn their keep is offering free \"animal therapy\" to visitors from local special needs schools and community groups. To stem their numbers, male donkeys at the sanctuary are castrated from the age of three and plans are afoot to extend that to those in the wild too. Mobile catch pens are set to be placed in the most donkey-dense areas for a castrate-and-release programme funded by UK firm Animal Friends Insurance, which recently sponsored a visit by two equine dentists. \"We can't take them all in but we need to stop the population exploding,\" Ms Corbin adds. \"Antigua owes a lot to its donkeys; it's only right we take care of them in return.\"",

He has not been publicly named due to his age and his legal team has applied for him to remain anonymous when he turns 18. Only a small number of criminals have ever been granted ongoing anonymity. 'Natural sadist' Manchester Crown Court was told that a hearing in early January would deal with the application. The County Durham teenager's trial heard he was an adherent of \"occult neo-Nazism\" and had described himself as a \"natural sadist\". His attack preparations included researching explosives, listing potential targets, and trying to obtain a bomb-making chemical. He is currently serving a sentence of six years and eight months. In a separate hearing at Leeds Youth Court, the boy was given another custodial term for unrelated child sexual offences. Appearing via video link, he was given an 18-month sentence for five sexual assaults against a girl. The boy had denied the offences but was found guilty at trial earlier this year. District Judge Richard Kitson told the teenager the term would run concurrently with his current sentence, saying the offences were \"so serious\" that only immediate custody was appropriate. Courts can ban the publication of a child defendant's identity but such orders cease to apply once they reach 18. In 2019, a boy from Blackburn, who had admitted inciting a terrorist attack in Australia when he was 14, was allowed to remain anonymous after the High Court ruled that naming him was likely to cause \"serious harm\". Lifelong anonymity has also been granted after release to the Newcastle child killer Mary Bell; Maxine Carr, who obstructed police investigating the 2002 Soham murders by her partner Ian Huntley; and Jon Venables and Robert Thompson, who murdered Liverpool toddler James Bulger.

            "input": "By Brian MilliganPersonal Finance reporter Since he launched his own fund exactly a year ago, Neil Woodford has delighted investors with an 18% return on their cash. By contrast, the average share on the London stock exchange - up to the end of last week - had risen by just 2%. Mr Woodford, who judges success over decades rather than years, is doing everything he can to dampen down the euphoria. \"It's far too early to conclude that the fund's strategy has worked,\" he says. On the personal qualities needed in a good fund manager, he is equally understated. \"I would suggest that a healthy balance between arrogance and humility is helpful,\" he says. Colleagues are less equivocal. \"He's arguably the best fund manager of his generation,\" says Mark Dampier, research director at Hargreaves Lansdown. His view is based on Mr Woodford's long-term record - 25 years of market-beating returns. To many, he looks like the man who just can't stop making money. 'High single digits' Neil Woodford is not the best fund manager in the country over the last year. In fact, he currently comes in at number 235 out of more than 1500 in a league table produced by Financial Express (FE). But his performance is the best in the Equity Income sector - a part of the industry that aims to provide investors with a regular income. However, to get a true measure of the man, Woodford fans say you need to take into account his record at his previous employer, Invesco Perpetual. Anyone investing a pension fund of £10,000 with him 27 years ago - and then following him to his new fund - would now have £309,000. (Figures to end of May 2015). Had they invested the money across the stock market as a whole, they would only have £117,000. The danger of doing so well is that investors have high expectations - expectations which Woodford is trying to rein in. He says his aim is to deliver \"high single-digit\" returns every year, averaged out over three to five years. \"We hope to deliver more than this, but this is the target against which we expect to be judged,\" he says. Top five holdings in Woodford's Equity Income Fund AstraZeneca 7.18% of fund GlaxoSmithKline 7.05% Imperial Tobacco 6.96% British American Tobacco 5.74% British Telecommunications 3.85% Patience Like Warren Buffett, Neil Woodford believes in long-term investment. Typically, he holds shares for more than 10 years. And he will only buy them when they look cheap. He finds shares that are undervalued by the rest of the market; hence he is a big investor in the tobacco industry, for which he makes no apology. \"I'm not paid to exercise my moral judgements in my portfolio. The tobacco sector still looks structurally undervalued and is, therefore, an appealing investment.\" Equally, he is a keen investor in the pharmaceutical and health industries. One company he has bought is 4D Pharma, based in Manchester, which is researching asthma and arthritis treatments. Its shares have quadrupled in value over the last year. Drug development company Oxford Pharmascience is another. Its shares have quadrupled in the last six months. But despite such spectacular short-term successes, if there is one word to describe Mr Woodford's approach, it is patience. Hence his new fund - launched in April - is called Woodford Patient Capital. It aims to provide long-term funding for start-up companies. And it is perfectly possible that he will never sell out. 'A better crop' With a wealth of start-up high tech companies in Oxford, it is no surprise that Woodford opened his corporate headquarters there. But there is another reason too. Neil Woodford has never liked the City of London. His 25 years at Invesco Perpetual, based in Henley on Thames, taught him to avoid the frantic atmosphere of trading desks. \"I have never had a yearning to work in the City, and in many ways I believe it is to my advantage that I don't.\" He believes that not being in London keeps him immune from the noise - \"the fashions and fads\" - that can build up in the City. Given his ambitions to nurture small companies, it is no surprise to learn that Woodford also has an interest in farming. Indeed he has a degree in agricultural economics. If he farms like he invests, says Mr Dampier, he would be planting for the long term. \"He'd be thinking of enriching the soil, and getting a better crop next year and the year after.\" Fast rides In one respect only, Mr Woodford has met the conventions of a sometimes flashy profession - a penchant for fast cars. Maybe that's vital for the streak of arrogance he says is necessary. \"You take the Porsches and the top cars, he's been through a few of them,\" says one colleague. Yet according to another, he is very down to earth too. Indeed, with an interest in ecology and the environment, he leads a peaceful existence in one of the prettiest valleys of the Chilterns. It is there that he loves to ride horses - \"very much a passion of mine,\" he says. And are there any similarities between keeping in the saddle and running an investment fund? \"They are both very difficult to master,\" he replies. \"And I am still learning on both counts.\" Watch the Hardtalk interview with Neil Woodford here.",

The Royal College of Psychiatrists said it was one of the worst examples of such an outfit it had seen. Escapade has not yet responded to the BBC's requests for a comment. 'Misleading the public' A description of the costume on Escapade's website says it is a \"sensual outfit\" that \"expresses a lot of deep desires without you having to utter a single word\". The company also sells other outfits with the word \"psycho\" in it, including the \"cell block psycho\" costume and \"psycho nurse Sally\". Dr Tony Rao, a psychiatrist and member of the Royal College of Psychiatrists, said outfits of this kind stigmatised those with mental illnesses by suggesting people should be afraid of them. He told the BBC: \"If you're going to use words like \"psychotic\" and associate it with \"nympho\", very pejorative, dramatic and shocking terms that are designed to get sales, then I think that is misleading both the perception of mental illness and misleading the public in promoting the idea that it's something we should be afraid of.\" In recent years a number of retailers have withdrawn similar items from sale after they were criticised. In 2013, Tesco and Asda withdrew two Halloween outfits - a psycho ward costume and a mental patient outfit - following complaints. The retailers apologised and agreed to make donations to the mental health charity Mind. Dr Rao said there were \"far fewer offensive costumes\" for this year's Halloween, but he said those that are sold set back the public perception of mental illnesses \"several decades\". This could contribute to people being discouraged from seeking treatment, he said. \"The royals, reality TV stars, music stars, have done an excellent job in encouraging people to keep the conversation going about reducing stigma. \"But what these costumes are doing is portraying an ignorance of those with severe mental illness, which is still in some ways seriously misunderstood by the public.\" Escapade has yet to respond to requests for a comment.",

            "input": "By Jonathan AmosScience correspondent, BBC News Can we start at the beginning - the Big Bang Theory (BBT)? Many people will be familiar now with the dominant theory in cosmology - that our observable Universe emerged from an incredibly small, incredibly dense space, presumably in some quantum process, and then expanded outwards. Our studies of the oldest light in the sky - the famous cosmic microwave background (CMB) - indicate this event occurred some 13.82 billion years ago. On some levels this idea seems fantastical, but when we look deep into space, it makes sense. The American astronomer Edwin Hubble showed us that the galaxies are rushing away from each other, and that the further you look, the faster they recede. Run the \"movie\" backwards, and everything must have been much closer together in the past. But the earliest moments are certainly hard to grasp, and scientists themselves confess that the further back you go, the more difficult the physics is to describe and comprehend. Stunning new view of 'oldest light' Edwin Hubble (External) So how does inflation fit in? It's an \"add on\" to BBT. It proposes that about a trillionth of a trillionth of a trillionth of a second after our observable Universe got going, it went through a super-rapid expansion, taking an infinitesimally small patch of space to something about the size of a marble, before then continuing to coast outwards. (Note: space may open up faster than light, but nothing in it is moving faster than light). One of the pioneers of inflationary theory, the American Alan Guth, describes inflation \"as sort of the bang in the Big Bang\". And it fixes some puzzling aspects in BBT. For example, it explains why the Universe looks so smooth on the largest scales. Inflation would have stretched away any unevenness. It also explains the structure we see in the Universe - all those galaxies and clusters of galaxies. The random quantum fluctuations that existed before inflation would have been amplified to provide the seeds for everything that came after. The first fractions of a second after the Big Bang What is inflation theory? (External) But how do you prove this kind of thing? Inflationary theory came with a prediction - something the experimentalists could test. It was hypothesised that the very rapid expansion would have been accompanied by waves of gravitational energy, and that these ripples in the fabric of space-time would have left an indelible mark on the CMB. Gravitational waves alternately squeeze and stretch space as they pass through it. And the primordial waves associated with inflation would likely have changed the orientation of the oldest light in the Universe. In other words, it would have polarised this light. This being the case, it should be possible to detect a very characteristic \"twist\" in the CMB, provided the signal is large enough and the investigations are sensitive enough. A telescope at the South Pole, operated by the Background Imaging of Cosmic Extragalactic Polarization 2 (BICEP2) project, has now claimed to have done this. What are gravitational waves? (External) South Pole Station (External) If confirmed, what does this mean? Assuming the observations are correct, it's a huge result. It represents our most direct detection yet of gravitational waves. That alone might be Nobel Prize-winning territory. But beyond that, this is a huge step for the study of the origin of the Universe. Inflation has always involved some highly speculative physics. So free was the hand of theorists that they were able to dream up literally hundreds of different models for how inflation might have worked. They can't do that anymore. The size and shape of the signal claimed by BICEP2 means many of the more exotic models will now go straight in the bin. Importantly, the discovery gives scientists an energy scale for inflation. The physics they develop to describe inflation must now fit inside that parameter. The good news is that the energies implied by BICEP2 are consistent with ideas for what is termed Grand Unified Theory. This is the realm where particle physicists believe three of the four fundamental forces in nature can be tied together.

If Prince Harry and Meghan assume permanent residency in Canada, will they pay taxes? - Paul, Vancouver The duke and duchess have said they do not have any special tax privileges, so it is likely the usual rules apply. It's not clear how much time Prince Harry and Meghan intend to spend in Canada. But if they seek permanent residency there, or they spend 183 days in a tax year in the country, then Canada will consider them resident for tax purposes. Even if they spend less time abroad - perhaps so Meghan can continue to fulfil the requirements for British citizenship - they will be expected to pay tax on any income they earn from working in Canada. How do Canadians feel about the monarchy? - Alex Bowers, Kent The Queen is Canada's head of state. Recent polls have found Canadians leaning towards severing ties with the monarchy but some individual royals are still seen very favourably. A poll of 1,000 people last year by Research Co suggested 33% wanted an elected head of state, while 31% wanted to keep the monarchy. Republican sentiment is more common in French-speaking Quebec, where 53% said they wanted a republic. But Prince Harry himself has a 70% favourability rating in Canada, while for Meghan it is 60%. If they drop their royal titles, can they one day regain them? - Sarah Coleman, Lancashire Prince Harry and Meghan have said they will no longer use their HRH titles. From this spring, they will become known as Harry, Duke of Sussex, and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex. The Queen made Prince Harry Duke of Sussex, Earl of Dumbarton and Baron Kilkeel on his wedding day, in May 2018. Meghan became the Duchess of Sussex. Prince Harry will remain a prince, having been born one. Only the monarch could restore any of their other titles. How can they trademark the Sussex royal name? - Wendy Watkins, Herefordshire Prince Harry and Meghan applied in June 2019 to trademark the \"Sussex Royal\" brand in the UK, for items including books, clothing, charitable fundraising, education and social-care services. Their application was published in December 2019. If no-one objects, the trademark could be registered as early as February 2020. They are also reportedly seeking to register the brand as a global trademark covering a wide range of goods and services including clothing, stationery and \"emotional support\" groups. Do the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have an automatic right to reside in Canada? - Heather Love, Ballynure, County Antrim The couple spent Christmas in Canada and Meghan recently returned to the country with her eight-month-old son, Archie. As a Briton, the prince is entitled to spend up to six months a year as a visitor in Canada - anything longer than that and he would have to apply for a visa. As an American citizen, the same rules apply for his wife. What questions do you have about Prince Harry and Meghan's decision to step back as senior royals?

He won the 2011 presidential elections after a 2005 constitutional amendment lifted presidential term limits, and went on to win again in 2016. The opposition and independent observers have complained about the fairness and transparency of these and earlier polls. In 2017 parliament voted to remove the 75-year age limit for presidential candidates, clearing the way for Mr Museveni to run for a sixth term in office. Mr Museveni has been credited with restoring relative stability and economic prosperity to Uganda following years of civil war and repression under former leaders Milton Obote and Idi Amin. But he has also faced UN criticism for his role in the conflict in DR Congo. More recently, Uganda has been accused of aiding rebels there.

Gavin Robinson, DUP MP \"It appears remarkable that the Public Prosecution Service (PPS) were prepared to let this case proceed on evidence which they should have known would be inadmissible. \"In the determination to put these veterans on trial it seems little thought was given to proper justice. \"It is a very clear example of the disparity of treatment between former members of our Armed Forces and those accused of terrorist offences.\" Linda Dillon, Sinn Féin MLA \"I... share the family's concerns at the way in which the investigation was conducted and the failure of the PSNI to interview the soldiers charged after the case was referred to them. \"We will continue to support the family as they discuss their next move in their campaign for truth and justice. \"This ruling highlights the need for the implementation of already agreed mechanisms to deal with the legacy of the past in a human rights compliant manner.\" Dolores Kelly, SDLP MLA \"The historic failure to caution soldiers prior to taking statements was bad enough but the PSNI's failure to open a fresh investigation and interview the individuals under caution after a HET re-examination in 2010 is totally inexplicable. \"There are also serious questions for the PPS about why a decision to prosecute without statements taken under caution was deemed appropriate. \"I am seeking an urgent meeting with the director of public prosecutions to discuss this issue, and other matters of concern.\" Doug Beattie UUP MLA \"Due process has been applied in this case and these men are now free to carry on with their lives. \"The PPS needs to explain how and why these men were put through this trial and what implications the collapse of this case due to lack of admissible evidence will have on other legacy cases, particularly those involving former soldiers. \"At the time of his death the IRA said that Joe McCann was responsible for the murders of 15 soldiers. \"He was a ruthless and dedicated terrorist. My thoughts today are with all innocent victims.\" Johnny Mercer, former veterans minister \"The government has made very clear promises, and the prime minister has made very clear promises, on legislation to end the relentless pursuit of those who served their country in Northern Ireland. \"It is time to deliver on that.\"",

Their parents Mick and Mairead Philpott have been charged with their murder and did not attend the funeral. The service at St Mary's Catholic Church in Derby started at 11:00 BST and lasted just under two hours. 'Respect' for mourners Six horse-drawn hearses made their way from the Allenton area of Derby, through the city to the church. BBC Radio Derby reporter Pamela Gupta was outside the church, where she said people were lined up carrying single yellow roses. \"The family had requested that they wanted people to dress up and be colourful, so people have arrived in brightly coloured clothes and dresses and scarves,\" she said. Church bells rang out across Derby as the full requiem mass began with priests greeting the six coffins outside. Each coffin bore the child's name and family members and friends threw flowers at the coffins as they were carried into the church. Tributes to children BBC Radio Derby reporter Victoria Holland was at the service and said the atmosphere was \"very sombre\". \"Many teachers and friends stood up and gave their memories of the children,\" she said. \"They described how polite and charming they were.\" Prayers were said for the children and for the fire service who tried to rescue them. A poem read out during the service called Angels on High included the lines: \"And when you have a moment, just close your eyes, for they are all only a breath away, in heaven there are no goodbyes. \"Duwayne, Jade, John, Jack, Jesse and Jayden, in the arms of angels fly away.\" Funeral fund Rose petals were thrown at the coffins as they were placed back in the carriages. A private burial service was held for the children at a cemetery in Chaddesden. Assistant Chief Constable Steve Cotterill, from Derbyshire Police, urged people to show respect and restraint to mourners attending the funeral. More than 300 people attended a community event in June to remember the six children. The event saw well-wishers joining hands and saying prayers outside the family home. A collection was also made for a community fund to help pay for the funerals, which has raised more than £11,000. Derbyshire Police arrested a 45-year-old man on Wednesday in connection with the fire. He was later released on bail.",

            "input": "By Richard BiltonReporter, BBC Panorama Since the 1920s, people have come here from across the UK and around the world to look for work. The town's enormous trading estate welcomed them all. And everyone has benefited. Today, Slough has one of the most successful economies in the country. Unemployment is just 1.4%, and the average wage is £558 per week. But Slough is not quite the model of integration it seems. Ten years ago, I came to the town to make a BBC Panorama programme about immigration. Back in 2007, Slough had seen thousands of new arrivals from Central and Eastern Europe. Many of the older residents didn't like it. \"If you go to the shop, you can't buy Kingsmill,\" one woman told me. \"It's all Polish bread.\" \"They're very angry around here,\" another said. \"Not being disrespectful to the Polish, but they're moving in and they give them houses.\" The Poles weren't getting all the houses and you could buy English bread, but you could feel a resentment that immigration had gone too far. Ten years on, immigration is now a national debate. So, where does that leave the town that made its fortune with the help of migrant workers? In a noisy workshop on the outskirts of the town, Salvatore Caruso and his workers cut and polish marble. Mr Caruso, son of an Italian migrant, was using Polish workers when I came here 10 years ago, and he still is now. He tells me his workforce has tripled in size in the past decade. \"If you take the migrant workers out of it, who's going to do the work?\" he asks. Slough's economy relies on migrant workers. So many new arrivals might make a town successful, but they also change it. For some here, the change was too much. Slough voted for Brexit. The town that made its fortune with migrant labour wanted out of Europe. Sylwia Leszczynska is Polish and came to Slough 11 years ago to work as a carer for elderly people. She planned her future in the UK. She bought a house with her husband, Konrad. Their children go to British schools. But she doesn't believe in the dream anymore. ''Immigration, it's not so good an idea, like we thought before,\" she says. \"I now think more about going back to Poland. \"I've got a feeling they don't want us here.' Her husband nods, and adds quietly: \"Mr Farage opened Pandora's box. \"And now it's just worse really, worse than it was before.\" Slough is an extraordinary mix. It's the most ethnically diverse area outside London. There are 150 different languages spoken there. The last census found that two in every five of the town's residents had migrated to the UK. But something else is happening here. White British people are abandoning Slough. Bernie and Ann Downes are moving out. Mr Downes is deep in his garage, digging out the things he wants to take to their new home in Norfolk. He and his wife have lived in Slough for most of their lives. But they say it has changed too much. \"I feel quite sad,\" says Mrs Downes. \"I just loved Slough and everything about it. \"But now I can't find anything I like about Slough.\" In 2001, there were 69,441 white British people living in Slough. By 2011, that figure had dropped to 48,620. White British people are now a minority. Mr Downes says he is not a racist, but immigration is an issue. \"I don't feel any antipathy against the people,\" he adds. \"What I am against is the uncontrolled immigration.\" There are plenty of people in Slough who are unhappy about immigration. \"Strain on the resources\" is the most common complaint you hear. But despite the pressure, research suggests most communities still get along. Rob Deeks runs a charity that works with children. \"When we ask them if they've experienced racism, they have, but not in Slough,\" he says. \"They say, 'In the town up the road,' or, 'On the train.' \"This place is diverse, but it gets on.\" Slough is about change, and it never stops. The reason migrants came here in the 1920s is the reason they come here now - jobs. On an icy Slough morning, a father and son brave the chill to walk to work. They are from Seville in southern Spain, but Arturo Benjumeda and Arturo Jr are both now working at a printing company. Arturo Sr moved to Slough after the Brexit vote. The 60-year-old says he needed to work. In Seville - a city where almost a third of the population is unemployed - he faced losing his home. \"I arrived here at night time, and I was already working in the morning,\" he says. \"Everything was new for me, so I felt quite stressed and very nervous.\" His wife, Maria, has also found work, in a pub. She says the Brexit vote didn't put them off. \"Our situation was so desperate, we had nothing to lose by coming here,\" she says. Slough's story is driven by economics: the town that built its success on immigration, where some have had enough of the change it brings.

The plug-in points will provide ultra-fast charging for cars along major roads. Tesla cars will not be able to use the charge points as they use different systems. The network will be based on combined charging system standard technology. Drivers will be able to top up using plugs charging at a speed of 350 kW, which is considerably faster than the current market leader. A statement from the car companies said their goal was the quick build-up of a sizeable number of stations in order to enable long-range travel for battery electric vehicle drivers. \"This is fantastic news, exactly what the industry needs,\" said Ben Lane, director of Zap-Map, an app which plots where electric-car owners can charge their cars in the UK. \"As batteries get bigger, the time needed to charge them is longer so more rapid chargers on the roads is a good thing.\" Work on the network is expected to begin in 2017. Analysis: Theo Leggett, BBC business correspondent If there were no petrol stations, would you buy a petrol-powered car? Of course not. Daft question. But that is precisely the problem carmakers are facing in their efforts to bring electric cars into the mainstream market. Put simply, the infrastructure needed to recharge electric cars quickly and easily is lacking. That makes planning long journeys a logistical nightmare. It's a chicken-and-egg situation. Few people are likely to replace their conventional cars with electric ones until the charging infrastructure exists. But why would you bother to build an expensive charging network when it has no cars to service. So the move that has been announced by BMW, Daimler, VW Group and Ford is a very logical one. They can pool their resources and build a network which they can all use. Once the charging infrastructure is up and running, more people will be tempted to buy electric vehicles. All four manufacturers are investing heavily in the development of electric cars - to see off the twin threats of ever tighter exhaust emissions regulations and the giants of Silicon Valley potentially moving on to their patch. But can electric vehicles (EVs) ever be as practical as conventional cars? Tesla has shown with its supercharger network that fast charging is possible. It now takes about 40 minutes to bring a Model S up to 80% of a full charge. It wants to bring down the charging time further, to between five and 10 minutes. If the four carmakers can achieve something similar - and provide a sufficiently large charging network - then EVs still won't be quite as convenient as \"normal\" cars - but they won't be a million miles off either.",

In October the government withdrew £169m in funding but the authority opted to continue with the scheme. The review found no evidence that the awarding of the contract to Cory Wheelabrator had been flawed. The government's decision to withdraw funding prompted calls for the project to be abandoned, but the council voted narrowly in favour of continuing after a report claimed cancelling the project could cost £100m in penalties. Jonathan Acton Davis QC was chosen by three opponents of the scheme to conduct the council-commissioned review. In his report, he noted that the project, agreed by the previous Conservative administration at County Hall, had been controversial \"on political and environmental grounds\". 'No undue risk' He said opponents of the scheme were now in the majority on the council and that some were convinced that the contract award was a consequence of \"chicanery by members and incompetence by officers.\" But he concluded: \"I can find nothing to lead me to conclude that any undue risk was taken. \"I can identify no areas in which I can see potential scope for the holding to account of officers. \"I have seen nothing which would enable me to conclude that the cabinet exceeded its authority in authorising the contract.\" Labour council leader George Nobbs said the report was \"independent and thorough\".

But English Heritage, which manages the site, has cancelled the event and closed Stonehenge until 1 May following government advice on coronavirus. Senior druid King Arthur Pendragon said it would be \"irresponsible to go against\" the decision. Open access to the stones is normally given by English Heritage from first light but it has closed all its \"staffed historic sites\" and asked people not to travel to Stonehenge. \"Our first priority is the health and wellbeing of all visitors, volunteers and staff, and we hope you can understand why we have taken this unprecedented step,\" it said. \"We appreciate this is a very important time for druids, pagans and other spiritual people and hope you will still be able to celebrate the spring equinox in your own special way.\" English Heritage said it would \"continue to plan for the summer solstice in the hope it will still take place\". The name equinox means \"equal night\" in Latin. The spring equinox is when the day and night are almost equal in length. Mr Pendragon, who performs the sunrise ceremony, said the druids vow involved forming a circle and holding hands and it would be \"pretty irresponsible to encourage people to hold hands\". \"We get thousands of people from all over England and the world and I'm trying to discourage them from making the journey to Stonehenge,\" he said. \"But I will most certainly celebrate in some fashion, even if it's on my own. \"We will celebrate with nature somewhere and will encourage others to do the same.\" Traditional celebrations on May morning in Oxford have also been cancelled.

It performed unexpectedly well, winning more than six million votes. Future Forward had garnered the third largest share of seats in parliament with 80 MPs. Mr Thanathorn and other party executives have also been banned from politics for 10 years and will lose their MP status, Thai TV said.

            "input": "By Dan WhitworthMoney Box reporter \"I don't trust landlords and leaseholds. I promised myself I would never get involved with a leasehold property. \"Now finding out my freehold isn't worth the paper it's written on makes me so angry.\" Three years on and Denise is beginning to make some worrying discoveries. Despite using a solicitor at the time, who came recommended by the developer Persimmon, she says only now is she finding out about more than a dozen restrictive covenants placed on her home, limiting what she can and can't do with it. A covenant is a binding agreement which can be enforceable by a court. Something else Denise is worried about are strong legal rights for Persimmon which mean she could be evicted if she falls behind on the annual rent charge on her freehold, which is similar to a service charge for leasehold properties. Once the estate is finished and handed over to a management company, Denise will be charged each year for services such as the upkeep of the green spaces and the maintenance of the roads. However, she doesn't have any control over what that rent charge might increase to in the future. \"If the covenants are that straightforward why doesn't the developer explain exactly what they're trying to do with these,\" she says. \"This is a bomb that's waiting to go off\". Persimmon says restrictive covenants are not at all unusual for new developments and that it operates a fair policy of charging reasonable administration fees. What is a freehold and what is a leasehold? Someone who owns a property outright, including the land it is built on, is a freeholder. Most houses are freehold but some might be leasehold - usually through shared-ownership schemes. With a leasehold, the person owns the property for the length of their lease agreement with the freeholder. Leaseholders have to pay their freeholders ground rent and other fees in order to make changes to their homes. When the lease ends, ownership returns to the freeholder unless the person can extend the lease. Some wish to buy their freeholds to save themselves these costs. 'Question of judgement' Andrew Melvill, a real estate lawyer with Baker Skelly law firm, though says whilst restrictive covenants on older freehold properties are unusual, covenants on new build freeholds are much more common. \"Covenants are intended to preserve the amenity and outlook of the wider estate, and to promote good neighbourly relations and when planning the estate, the developer will need to form a view as to how restrictive the covenants should be. \"On the one hand, an owner may feel that certain covenants are too prohibitive and unduly restrict the use of his or her property; on the other hand, the lack of sufficiently robust covenants might impact on the wider amenity value to the estate.\" \"It is a question of judgment in each case but with pressure on the availability of development land, and with housing densities required by the planning authorities, the content and suitability of covenants should be carefully considered by both the developer and the plot purchaser\". Although Denise does admit some of the covenants on her home are reasonable she says some are too restrictive. \"If I want to build anything I have to get permission from Persimmon and pay them a fee. Why should I have to pay them? \"There's also no limit on how much that fee might be\". Beth Rudolf, who is the director of the Conveyancing Association, says developers need to make issues like these much clearer to potential buyers. \"People should be enforcing their rights under consumer protection from unfair trading regulations and [developers] should have to make material disclosure over anything that would impact the average consumer,\" she says. \"Anyone marketing properties should provide a list of any material facts. \"As for Denise's service charge it's right and fair that one should be collected - but she has no control over what is any 'right and reasonable' rise in the future.\" Persimmon said \"residents will be able to decide for themselves the level of maintenance required for common areas and facilities and have the right to self-manage or appoint an agent of their own choosing to carry out maintenance on behalf of residents.\" It added; \"Purchasers and their solicitors are provided with all details material to the property during the purchasing process.\" 'A lot of worry' Denise though says she knows of another estate where the service charge has tripled in two years. \"It's a big concern because I'm a pensioner and an increase in that kind of rate will knock me off my feet really. \"It's also unregulated and uncapped... and that creates a lot of uncertainty and a lot of worry.\" You can hear more on BBC Radio 4's Money Box programme on Saturday at 12pm or listen again here.

            "input": "Throughout the 1950s and 60s, Saturday mornings for many children meant a trip to the cinema - Tom & Jerry, old westerns and tailor-made specials from the Children's Film Foundation. But the 1970s saw TV replace the silver screen in the affections of the nation's youngsters. Firstly, ITV's regions launched shows - the best-known being the chaotic blend of jokes, custard pies and buckets of water on Chris Tarrant's Tiswas which was eventually shown across the network. Then, in 1976, the BBC introduced the Multi-Coloured Swap Shop with Noel Edmonds, Keith Chegwin and John Craven. Between them both, a Saturday morning institution was created. A three-hour marathon of pop videos, phone-ins, games, puppets and celebrities was interspersed with popular kids' shows, all propelled by the spontaneity of its presenters, working much of the time without scripts. The BBC hopes to rekindle some of that sparkle with a new children's show called Live 'n' Deadly, which promises an hour of \"amazing adventures and animal encounters\" with a live audience. So what happened to the old magazine-style shows that dominated Saturday morning television in the late 70s and 80s? From Swap Shop, through Saturday Superstore, Going Live and then Live & Kicking, the BBC's format remained basically the same. On ITV, Tiswas was followed by The Saturday Show in 1982. But by 2006, when the BBC shifted flagship Dick and Dom in Da Bungalow to BBC Two and moved Saturday Kitchen in the opposite direction, the era of the live magazine show was over. \"It was big family entertainment and attracted teenagers as well as kids,\" recalls Paul Smith, the man who entertained six million viewers as Going Live's Gordon the Gopher. \"There was a massive available audience so we could get all sorts of guests to appear. Pop acts wanted to get on because record sales were at their highest on a Saturday afternoon and it could help a song rocket up the charts the next day.\" The growth of multi-channel broadcasting left terrestrial channels battling for young viewers with 30-plus rivals, including Nickelodeon and The Disney Channel. And while magazine shows had endeavoured to introduce an educational element, with guests such as Margaret Thatcher or author Roald Dahl, these interviews \"weren't going to cut it\" against the likes of SpongeBob SquarePants, says Mr Smith. \"It's a hard thing to say but that's why they withered, unfortunately.\" Children's habits had also changed. Mumsnet founder Carrie Longton says today's youngsters have much more choice than previously, with many more weekend activity clubs. \"In our day you watched Swap Shop, listened to Ed Stewart on the radio, rode a bike or played out,\" she says. \"Now there's always other things to do, like computer games. The majority of families have more than one TV, so one child can be watching CBeebies while another has recorded Britain's Top Model and is watching that in the next room. \"It's a shame in some ways. The magazine programmes brought people together and were quite safe TV.\" Another key contributor to the shows' demise was the fragmentation of the music industry, when Britpop bands, like Oasis, and dance acts replaced teen-friendly stars of the Stock, Aitken and Waterman era, says Mr Smith. \"A lot of that stuff wasn't right for Saturday morning, so we started to have less influence,\" he says. ITV successfully skirted modern rock stars' reluctance to interact with fans by separating their musical content on CD:UK from Ant and Dec's SM:tv Live show. Despite outperforming the BBC's Live & Kicking and successor the Saturday Show, its audience of 2.5million still lagged behind earlier favourites. These figures could no longer justify production costs and it ended in 2006. In the same year, BBC One's children's coverage was shunted to BBC Two to accommodate Saturday Kitchen, a move the corporation explained was to avoid interrupting the schedule with breaking news or sporting events. Greg Childs, from the Save Kids' TV campaign group, says this move made it easier for ITV to abandon its coverage. While he accepts Saturday shows had become less tenable, he says they were important in helping children understand the world around them on a level that appealed to them. \"We lament the loss of that variety and mix in the one programme.\" With Dick and Dom, the BBC had deliberately stopped trying to appeal to all ages, focusing squarely at pre-teens in an unpredictable melee of slapstick, gunge and gameplay, without guest stars. In 2006, it revived many of the traditional Saturday show features with TMi - albeit without a live studio audience. But its run-time was gradually reduced from two hours 45 minutes to 90 and it has now moved to Friday nights on CBBC. The corporation's latest launch, Live 'n' Deadly, presented by wildlife adventurer Steve Backshall and Naomi Wilkinson, runs for just an hour. Executive producer Wendy Darke says it will take the live audience participation first seen on Swap Shop to a new level. \"I remember thinking 'My goodness, Noel Edmonds is on the phone to some boy and we're watching it on telly'. \"That's so powerful - the excitement of connecting kids - and we'll have live website links through the show, inviting people to set questions and challenges for Steve and send in photos to be shown on air.\" Segments will show youngsters taking part in outdoor activities, such as scuba diving for \"sea monsters\", while each week the \"Deadly Convoy\" will transport the set - and a host of creatures - to different UK cities for the live show. Rather than encouraging viewers to watch for hours, Wendy explains: \"We want to catch them at breakfast and inspire them to do something exciting with their weekend.\" So, could the traditional Saturday show ever make a comeback? Joe Godwin, director of BBC Children's, argues it has never really been away - just that shows like TMi go unnoticed because they are not on BBC One or ITV1. \"Saturday mornings never died, it's just grown-ups stopped watching them. There'll still be live shows in another 35 years.\" However, he says three-hour magazines are unlikely to return and we should not mourn their demise. \"The chances of someone plonking themselves in front of the telly at 9am and staying until Football Focus are slim. Even if they wanted to they probably wouldn't be allowed. \"I used to be sad about that but we make shows for children, not for nostalgic old farts.\" Live 'n' Deadly is on BBC2 from 0900 BST on Saturdays.",

Her older sister infamously delayed a flight in 2014 over a packet of nuts - and served jail time for the incident. In a statement, their father apologised to the public and his employees. Cho Yang-ho said his daughters would be stripped of all their responsibilities, Yonhap news agency reports. Both cases hit the headlines in the country and reopened a national debate about the Korean business system, which is dominated by family firms known as chaebols. Ms Cho, 36, apologised for her \"foolish and reckless behaviour\" in the most recent incident earlier this month. Cho Hyun-min, also known as Emily, who was senior vice-president of the company, reportedly lost her temper because she was unhappy with answers to her questions in a meeting. She denied throwing water but admitted to shoving the advertising agency manager. Dozens of online petitions to South Korea's presidential website were launched, demanding she be punished. The airline was already under intense scrutiny after the CEO's eldest daughter, Cho Hyun-ah, known as Heather in English, flew into a rage when macadamia nuts were served to her in a bag and not on a plate on a Seoul-bound flight from New York four years ago. Ms Cho, 44, was convicted of violating aviation safety, coercion and abuse of power in 2015 and served five months in jail. She had been back at work for less than month, as an executive of the airline's hotel affiliate, when her father announced her decision to step down on Sunday. The sisters are granddaughters of the founder of Hanjin Group, one of South Korea's massive family-run business empires.

She was wearing headphones and listening to Beyoncé singing I Was Here as she walked down the street in Wood Green, north London. She was just a few doors away. She reached into her bag to pull out her keys when suddenly someone grabbed her by the neck from behind, covered her mouth, and dragged into the back of a dark red car. There were three of them, two men and a woman. They were slapping her, punching her, and screaming threats in Romanian. Her ears were ringing. The woman in the passenger seat grabbed her bag and pulled the glasses from her face. If she didn't do what they told her, they shouted, her family in Romania would be killed. \"I didn't know what was happening or where they were taking me,\" Anna says. \"I was imagining everything - from organ harvesting or prostitution, to being killed, to God knows what.\" The woman was going through her bag, looking in her wallet, scrolling through the recent calls and Facebook friends on her phone, looking at her papers. Her passport was there - she carried it everywhere after her previous one was stolen from her room. Anna could see there was no point trying to escape from the car, but when they arrived at an airport and she was left alone with just one of the men, she began to wonder if this was her chance. Could she appeal to airport staff for help? \"It's hard to scream when you feel so threatened,\" she says. \"They had my papers, they knew where my mum was, they knew everything about me.\" It was a risk she couldn't bring herself to take.

When the man presented their passports, she just smiled and handed them boarding cards. Trying to pretend they were a couple, he rushed Anna through security to the boarding gates, and took seats right at the back of the plane. He told her not to move, not to scream and not to cry, or he would kill her. Anna heard the captain announce that they were flying to an airport in Ireland - she'd never heard of it. Her face was wet with tears as she walked off the plane, but like the woman at the check-in desk the air stewardess simply smiled. This time Anna had decided that once in the airport she would run, but it turned out to be no bigger than a bus station and two more Romanian men were waiting for them. The fat one reached out for her hand, smiled and said, \"At least this one looks better.\" It was then that she realised why she had been kidnapped. \"I knew, at that point, that I was going to be sold,\" she says. The men drove her to a dirty flat, upstairs, not far from a bookies. The car broke down on the way. Inside, the blinds were closed and the air smelled of alcohol, cigarettes and sweat. Men smoked and looked at laptops in the living room. On the table more than a dozen mobile phones rang, buzzed and vibrated constantly, while girls wearing little or nothing came and went between rooms. Anna's clothes were ripped from her body by a woman wearing a red robe and flip flops, assisted by some of the men. And from then on she was brutalised. Pictures were taken of her in underwear in front of a red satin sheet pinned to the wall, so that she could be advertised on the internet. She was given more names than she can remember - she was Natalia, Lara, Rachel, Ruby. She was 18, 19, and 20, from Latvia, Poland, or Hungary. She was then forced to have sex with thousands of men. She didn't see daylight for months. She was only allowed to sleep when there were no clients but they came round the clock - up to 20 of them per day. Some days there was no food, other days maybe a slice of bread or someone's leftovers. Deprived of food and sleep, and constantly abused, she lost weight fast and her brain stopped working properly. Customers paid 80-100 euros for half an hour, or 160-200 euros for an hour. Some left Anna bleeding, or unable to stand, or in so much pain that she thought she must be close to death. Others would ask her if she knew where she was, if she'd been out to hear the traditional music in the pubs, if she'd visited the local beauty spots. But she says they knew that she and the other girls were held against their will. \"They knew that we were kept there,\" she says. \"They knew, but they didn't care.\" It was obvious from the bruises which covered every inch of Anna's body - fresh ones appearing every day where older ones were beginning to fade away - and it didn't bother them. She hated them all. Find out more Anna spoke to Jo Fidgen on Outlook on the BBC World Service You can listen again here In July, four months into Anna's captivity, the races were on and the phones were ringing more than ever. Then one day the police crashed into the flat and arrested all the girls. Mysteriously, the men and the woman who ran the show, had disappeared in advance with the laptops and most of the cash. Anna wondered how they had known the police were coming. The police took pictures of the flat, of the used condoms and the underwear and told Anna and the other three trafficked women to get dressed. She told them that they didn't have any clothes and that they were being held there against their will. \"You could clearly see there were signs that we had no power over anything - no clothes, no identity papers,\" she says. \"I tried to tell them, nobody listened.\" She was glad to be arrested, though. She felt sure the police would eventually realise that they were victims. But still they didn't listen. The four women spent the night in a cell and were taken to court the following morning. A solicitor explained there would be a brief hearing, they would be charged with running a brothel, fined, and freed a few hours later. It wasn't a big deal, he said. It was just part of the routine when the races were on - sex workers and sometimes pimps were arrested and released again. When the women left the court Anna had an impulse to run, though she knew she had nowhere to go and no money. She was given no chance, anyway - her captors were waiting for them outside, holding the car doors open. In Romania her mother read the headlines about the young women running a brothel in Ireland, her own daughter's name among them. By that stage she'd already seen the photos the men had posted on Anna's Facebook account too - images of her naked or in ill-fitting lingerie, covered in bruises. Alongside them were comments in which Anna boasted about her new life and all the money she was making as a sex worker in Ireland. More lies, typed out by the men on their laptops. Not only had her mother seen these photographs, the neighbours had seen them, Anna's friends had seen them. None knew that she had been trafficked and was being held against her will. At first, her mother had tried to do something. But when she called her daughter there was never any answer. \"My mum went to the police in Romania,\" Anna says. \"But they said, 'She's over the age of consent and she's out of the country, so she can do whatever she wants.'\" Eventually, Facebook deleted her account because of the indecent images and if anyone looked for her on social media it would have seemed that she no longer existed. After the police raid, the four girls were moved around a lot, staying in different cities in different flats and hotels. But their lives remained as bad as ever - they continued to be abused at all times of day and night. Anna didn't think her situation could get any worse until she overheard her tormentors making plans to take her to the Middle East. She had to get away. \"I still didn't really know exactly where I was,\" she says. \"But I knew that I had a better chance of escaping from Belfast, or Dublin, or wherever they had me, than escaping from somewhere in the Middle East.\" She took the woman's flip flops and opened the door. She had to go very quickly and very quietly. She hadn't run or properly stretched the muscles in her legs for months, but now she had to move fast. What saved her was the fact that men occasionally asked for one of the women to be taken to them, rather than visiting the flat where they were held. Anna found these call-outs terrifying. \"You didn't know what crazy person was waiting for you or what they would do to you,\" she says. \"But any time I was out of that flat I would make mental maps of where I was. While they were transferring us from one point to another I would form maps in my mind - remembering the buildings, the street signs, and the things that we passed.\" There was also one man - Andy, a convicted drug dealer on a tag - who never wanted to have sex, only to talk. A friend of his was trying to break into the brothel-keeping business and he wanted information. \"I had to gamble at that point,\" Anna says. \"I didn't trust him, but he offered me a place where I could hide.\" Relying on her incomplete mental map, Anna made it to Andy's address, only there was no answer. There was nothing to do but wait and hope that the pimps would not find her. The gamble paid off. Andy had to return before midnight because of his tag. And he let her stay. One of the first things Anna did was to call her mother. The phone rang, and her mother's partner answered. As soon as he realised who was calling he began urging her never to call again, and never to visit. They'd received so many threats from the pimps and traffickers, her mother was now terrified, he said. \"So I said to him, 'OK, I'll make it easy for you. If anybody rings you and threatens you just tell them that I'm dead to you and to my mum,'\" Anna says. He hung up on her. At this point, despite having no papers or passport, and despite her experience of the brothel raid - when she had been prosecuted instead of rescued - Anna decided to contact the police. And this time, fortunately, they listened to her. It turned out that Anna was now in Northern Ireland, and she was told to attend a rendezvous with a senior policeman in a coffee shop. \"He took one of those white paper napkins and asked me to write down the names of the people who did this to me on it,\" she says. When she pushed it back to him across the table she could see that he was shocked. He'd been looking for those people for years, he said. A two-year investigation followed. Eventually Anna's former captors were arrested, but she was so worried for her own safety and her mother's that she decided she couldn't testify against them in court. Another girl she'd known from the flat did give evidence, though, and the gang were convicted of human trafficking, controlling prostitution and money laundering in Northern Ireland. Each of them was sentenced to two years. They served six months in custody before they were sentenced, then eight months in prison after being convicted, with the remainder spent on supervised licence. They had already served two years in a Swedish prison on the same set of offences involving one of the same victims. \"I was happy that they were arrested but I wasn't happy about the sentences,\" she says. \"I guess nothing in this life is fair.\" Where to get help If you suspect someone is a victim of human trafficking, contact the police - call 999 if it's an emergency, or 101 if it's not urgent. If you'd prefer to stay anonymous, call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111. If you want confidential advice about trafficking before calling the police, there are a number of specialist organisations you can talk to: The Modern Slavery helpline 0800 0121 700, is open 24 hours a day. If you think a child is in danger of trafficking you can contact the the NSPCC's helpline 0808 8005 000. Later, with other women, Anna gave testimony to the Unionist politician, Lord Morrow, who had become so concerned about the increasing number of stories he heard about children and adults forced to work in brothels, farms and factories that he put forward a new bill to the Northern Ireland Assembly. The Human Trafficking and Exploitation Act, passed in 2015, made Northern Ireland the first and only place in the UK where the act of buying sex is a crime. The act of selling sex, by contrast, was decriminalised. Anna takes satisfaction from her role in this process. \"This law helps the victim and it criminalises the buyer and the trafficker,\" she says. \"So it destroys the ring.\" If even a small percentage of the men who used to pay for sex are now discouraged from doing so, that's still a success, Anna argues. And people like her who are trafficked can live without fear, she says, because instead of being criminalised for being involved in prostitution, they're now more likely to benefit from support. In 2017, it also became illegal to buy sex in the Republic of Ireland, where Anna's horrific ordeal began. Her nine months in sexual slavery have left her permanently injured. Men damaged her body in the places where they penetrated her. Her lower back and knees constantly ache, and there's a patch at the back of her head where her hair stopped growing because it was pulled out so many times. She suffers from terrifying flashbacks. Sometimes she cannot sleep, and when she does sleep she has nightmares. And sometimes she still smells that smell, the alcohol, mixed with the cigarettes and the sweat, the semen, and the breath of her abusers. But she's looking forward now. She shopped the people who sold her body, she's helped change the law, and after years of not even speaking, her relationship with her mother is good. \"Me and my mum had to go on a really long journey to get her to understand what happened to me,\" she says. \"She had to learn from me and I had to learn from her, but now we are fine.\" Anna started a degree course in the UK but had to drop out because she couldn't afford the fees and didn't qualify for any funding. She now has a job in hospitality and it's going well. \"I would love with all my heart to return to my studies at some point,\" she says. \"But for now I have to work, work, work, and keep focused.\" All names have been changed.

A judgement ruled they had been the victims of racist graffiti written on a photo of them in their barracks at Colchester in January 2018. The tribunal ruled their other claims inadmissible, including the barracks having being decorated with Nazi flags. The men, who served with 3rd Battalion (3 Para) based at Merville Barracks in Colchester, intend to seek compensation. The tribunal heard that someone had drawn a swastika, a Hitler moustache and a racist remark on photographs of the men attached to Mr Gue's door. A written judgement said: \"The conduct was unquestionably unwanted; the graffiti in question was of the most unpleasant nature, set out on Mr Gue's personal photographs and was racially highly offensive.\" It added that the even though the perpetrator was unknown and therefore the motivation had not been explained, \"the carrying out of this act was so unpleasant that it can only have been done with the purpose of violating the claimants' dignity and creating an intimidating, hostile, degrading, humiliating and offensive environment for them\". Mr Zulu had told the tribunal that when he joined the Army he held it in high regard but now considered it to be a racist institution. The men's solicitor Amy Harvey, of Banks Kelly Solicitors, said: \"The claimants have succeeded in establishing their claim against the MoD that they suffered racial harassment during their time in the Army and that the MoD did not take all reasonable steps to prevent such harassment.\" An MoD spokesperson said: \"We note the decision of the tribunal today. \"As a modern and inclusive employer, the Armed Forces do not tolerate unacceptable behaviour in any form. \"Any allegations of inappropriate behaviour are taken extremely seriously and investigated thoroughly, as evidenced by our taking up of recommendations in the Wigston review into inappropriate behaviours published earlier this year.\" The Army says it's been working hard to stamp out racism. It wants to attract more BAME recruits. This judgement will serve as a reminder that there's still a problem. Though most of the allegations made by the two former soldiers were dismissed by the tribunal, it concluded that Mr Gue and Mr Zulu had been the target of racist graffiti at their Colchester barracks. It contributed to Mr Zulu's decision to leave. It might be seen as an isolated incident but a recent internal review carried out by a senior officer for the MoD called for a change in culture in the armed forces to deal with \"unacceptable\" levels of racism sexism and bullying. It noted there'd been a \"disproportionate\" number of complaints from women and ethnic minorities in the armed forces. The MoD says it's now introducing the recommendations from the report to improve the climate and the complaints process.",

A spokesman for the government said it recognised the work done by the force but MPs have grown tired of assurances which have not been backed up so far by action. 'Heart of the debate' Last night a group of 10 Kent MPs - from right across the county - met Home Secretary Theresa May to call for a government-led solution to the problem. The Folkestone and Hythe Conservative MP Damian Collins told me it was a positive meeting. \"The home secretary absolutely understands the seriousness of the problem and the need for a strategic cross-governmental approach and she is clearly putting herself in the heart of this debate,\" he said. She may be putting herself at the heart of the debate but so far no one from the Home Office has made themselves available for interview on BBC South East Today - on the ongoing problems caused by the situation in Calais - despite repeated requests. As Mr Collins said: \"What we need is a plan for when there are major strikes and delays - an emergency plan which can be brought into place quickly. \"What we want to see are urgent talks between the Home Office, the Department for Transport, Kent County Council and Kent Police to work on those ideas.\" Mr Collins also told me MPs were due to attend a meeting at Kent County Council's HQ on Friday in the hope of getting some practical solutions to the problems this summer. Mrs May has promised to create a secure zone in France to prevent lorries queuing on the open road, where they are vulnerable to migrants.

The subsidiary company, set up in July, is wholly owned by the hospital. Hospital bosses said the move would protect jobs and safeguard services but Unison, the union, said the move would have a \"detrimental\" effect on care. The decision, which affects roles such as cleaners and porters, was taken at a meeting of hospital bosses on Wednesday. The hospital previously said the decision would not be made public before 27 December to allow time to inform staff. 'Breaks up team' In a letter to unions, hospital human resources director Mark Appleby said the new company would \"mirror\" NHS terms and conditions, including pay settlements, for a minimum of five years. Also, Simply Serve staff who subsequently secure employment with Yeovil Hospital, would have their employment recognised as continuous service. A petition urging the hospital to defer the decision was signed by more than 900 people. Unison said a staff petition also gathered 772 signatures. Helen Eccles from Unison said the hospital had refused to consult with unions and they had been unable to speak during Wednesday's meeting. She said: \"It breaks up the NHS team and puts staff outside the nationally-agreed terms and conditions and we believe it could have a detrimental effect on patient care.\" The hospital said a month-long staff consultation received \"just two pieces of staff feedback\".

But while Sipson properties may have been spared under new plans, which would see a potential runway built further west than originally proposed, the Grow Heathrow protest site still lies in its path. The land is owned by businessman Imran Malik and although the activists have garnered support from local residents, MPs and even a judge, they have been told that despite the commendable work it is time to hand the land back to its rightful owner. Last year Mr Malik, represented by Burch Phillips & Co Solicitors, secured a ruling to evict them, a decision that was upheld during a challenge by the activists at the Court of Appeal in July. The result means the bailiffs are due to arrive later. Georgia Woods, 21, who moved to the site when she was 18, said: \"It's very hard not knowing what's going to happen and for the incredible space to be threatened.\" The squatters moved onto the site in March 2010 but it is not just a point they wanted to make, it was also about trying to save homes and livelihoods. Ms Woods said: \"We don't get paid but we all have to do things that make the site run, like growing food or running the free community workshops. \"With the solar panels and wind turbine we have more than enough energy for phones, lights and music. We have totally normal electricity but you learn to appreciate the weather so much more. \"It's really understanding the power of community and a gift economy.\" Ms Woods' home has come from the land too. \"Mine's made out of hazel and it's just very small and has got a little woodburner which we built,\" she said. \"We're happier and creating a lighter footprint on the world rather than causing harm to someone through our consumerist polluting lifestyle.\" Despite the idyll of living on a currency-free land, Grow Heathrow does recognise harsh reality and has been trying to buy or rent the land from Mr Malik. The group has so far offered £50,000, which they say is \"above market value\" and would have been generated through a crowd-funding project. John McDonnell, MP for Hayes and Harlington, who has supported the squatters \"from the first day\" said: \"We've been trying to get involved in some formal negotiations and asked them to get around the table, we're quite happy as a community to rent the site. \"We've heard nothing back from the solicitors, but the door is always open.\" Whether or not it is right that an MP supports the squatters, Mr McDonnell said it had been a \"tremendous success and a brilliant asset\". \"It's a demonstration that a small part of land can be so environmentally sustainable, it's a shining example of what you can do through voluntary effort and what Grow Heathrow have done is turned it back to what it was, an environmental benefit for the area,\" he said. However, little consideration has been given to what happens after the bailiffs arrive. Rob Hickley, 32, a gardener, said: \"We're not really thinking that far ahead yet, but with the relationships made over the past five years perhaps people will stay with others in the community. \"People will be made homeless as a result of this.\" Heathrow Airport said it recognised that as well as \"bringing huge advantages to the UK and the local people\" a new runway would have \"downsides for people living nearby\". It said: \"That is why we have rejected our previous plans for a third-runway and have put forward a new option further to the west of the airport, which strikes a better balance between the need for growth and local communities like Sipson.\" That is of little consolation to the squatters, who will be evicted regardless of where a runway could eventually be built. Ms Woods said: \"It's been four and a half years, we had no idea it would last that long. We thought it was going to be squatted for potentially months, so it has been a success. \"Everyone's pretty apprehensive and it's pretty scary, but we're not doing anything wrong, we're doing amazing things.\" Mr Malik attended the site with the bailiffs on Friday morning but declined to comment on the situation.",

The regulations promote drinking water and limit fruit juice servings to 150ml (just over a quarter of a pint). Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg said the rules would \"continue to restrict unhealthy foods\". Schools will also have to provide a choice of fruit and vegetables as part of the new rules. The school food plan, designed to promote healthy eating, will be mandatory for local authority schools, new free schools and schools that convert to academy status. Pastry limit They will replace regulations introduced in the wake of TV chef Jamie Oliver's campaign to improve the standard of school food. The Department for Education said the previous rules had done \"much to improve school food\" but \"were complicated and expensive to enforce\". The revised regulations are intended to allow school cooks more \"flexibility\". The school meal requirements include: Dietician Ursula Philpot said 57% of pupils currently had packed lunches and that more should be done to increase the number of those eating school food. She told BBC Breakfast: \"We have to rebrand school meals and make them something that children want to do. \"That can only be done by training the chefs, by training the catering staff, by making the school environment - where children eat - better.\" Current standards: Restaurateur Henry Dimbleby told the programme the aim was to \"protect children from the worst excesses of modern food that's available in society\" and encourage them to try healthier foods. The restaurateur, a member of the expert panel behind the healthy eating plan, said: \"The best cooks are not just cooks, they engage, they're out in the school canteen, persuading children who haven't tried things to try them. \"It's about selling, it's about encouraging these children to eat well, setting a standard early in life.\" 'Clear and concise' Jamie Oliver welcomed the guidance, saying: \"For me, these mandatory minimum standards are so important if we're going to truly protect the next generation.\" Tuesday's menu at Kingsbridge Community College, Devon Susan Jebb, professor of diet and population health at Oxford University, said: \"We know that children are continuing to eat too much saturated fat, sugar and salt. \"It is vital that the food children are offered in schools is nutritious and helps them to learn about the basics of a healthy diet.\" Some parents 'unhappy' Education Secretary Michael Gove said: \"We now have a clear and concise set of food standards, which are easier for cooks to follow and less expensive to enforce. Crucially we have achieved this without any compromise on quality or nutrition.\" Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg said: \"The revised school food standards will allow schools to be more creative in their menus. They are easier for schools to understand and crucially they will continue to restrict unhealthy foods to ensure our children eat well.\" Christine Blower, leader of the National Union of Teachers, said it was a \"missed opportunity\" because it would not be mandatory for all schools. The regulations will be voluntary for schools that became academies between 2010 and 2014. \"Parents of children in these schools will rightly be unhappy that the government is failing to deliver the same guarantee of minimum nutritional food standards for all schools,\" she said.",

Nintendo said the key reason behind the downgrade was weaker-than-expected sales during the holiday season. \"In the year-end sales season which constitutes the highest proportion of the annual sales volume, software sales with a relatively high margin were significantly lower than our original forecasts,\" the firm said in a statement. Losing faith It said weak software sales were \"mainly due to the fact that hardware sales did not reach their expected level\". The company cut its global Wii U sales forecast for the business year from nine million to 2.8 million units - a cut of nearly 70%. It also reduced the sales forecast for its 3DS console from 18 million to 13.5 million units. Three months ago Nintendo was standing by its sales projections for the Wii U, despite signs, from the UK at least, that retailers were losing faith in the product. In July last year, UK supermarket chain Asda said it would no longer be selling the Wii U in its stores. Online streaming Nintendo has faced tough competition from rival games console makers, such as Microsoft with its new Xbox One, and Sony with its new PlayStation 4. There is also a general trend towards online streaming of games to make them available over a variety of devices, such as mobiles and smart TVs. At the recent Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Sony announced that PlayStation Now subscribers will be able to play some of the platform's greatest hits without the need to own a console. Sony said it may offer its games to third-party products as well. 'Disappointing' This month Nintendo's shares received a boost after China lifted a sales ban on foreign video games consoles. The Chinese government said it would allow foreign firms to make consoles in the recently-launched Shanghai free trade zone and sell them across the country.

He had denied murdering his wife Alethea, who was last seen in Orleton, Herefordshire, in January 2012. Her body has never been found. The month-long trial at Worcester Crown Court heard Taylor had been having an affair. Taylor, of Mortimer Close in Orleton, Herefordshire, previously said he believed his 63-year-old wife was still missing. 'Web of lies' David Elliott, West Midlands Crown Prosecutor, described Taylor as a \"deceitful man\". He said Taylor had \"spun a web of lies\" in order to avoid justice. \"The defendant reported his wife missing from their family home and he claimed to the police she was suffering from dementia and had a habit of wandering off in a confused state. \"This was a blatant lie designed to explain away her disappearance,\" he said. He said Taylor was \"unhappy in his marriage\" and was having an affair. \"His wife found out and in a diary which was recovered from the house, Mrs Taylor highlighted her concerns at her husband's infidelity and the future of their marriage. \"He even claimed to have tried to contact his wife by telephone several times when she disappeared. Cell site analysis showed that he had called her only once, a call which lasted eight seconds,\" Mr Elliott said. Det Insp Dave Williams said West Mercia Police's investigation had been \"complex and challenging\" and added it was \"not over yet\". He said: \"We will not rest until we find Alethea and I would urge Mr Taylor to do the right thing and tell us where she is so that those who loved her can have closure and peace of mind.\" Mrs Taylor's niece, Lorraine McKillop, said her aunt was missed \"by a lot of family and friends\". Ms McKillop said: \"I find it very hard to understand why John would have done this. Why not just walk away, rather than the selfish act of leaving a lot of people wondering where she is? \"It's not a very happy end to her life, when she has given so much to others, with still much more to give. \"I hope some day that we can find her and put her to rest in the proper fashion that is so deserving of someone who helped and cared for others.\" Nosebleed claims During the trial the court head that Taylor had tried \"to spread around\" the idea his wife was \"in some way, losing her mind\". But in written testimony Mrs Taylor's GP, Richard Dales, told the court she had no history of mental health problems. The court heard she suffered only one episode related to mental health, when she complained of \"work stress\" as a primary school teacher in 2001. Taylor had denied prosecution claims that he had changed his story over bloodstains found on their bed. He told the court he accepted he told police that days before his wife went missing, he had found her sitting on her side of the bed, with a \"horrendous\" nosebleed. Forensic officers did find Mrs Taylor's dried blood, but on her husband's side of the bed, the court heard. Michael Burrows, prosecuting, asked Taylor how he could have a better recollection of the incident now than then. Taylor said it was due to \"the pressure at the time, being interviewed\".

SSE, in line with other major energy suppliers, put up its domestic gas and electricity prices by an average of 9% one month ago. The firm said in its statement that the increase reflected market conditions. Lord Smith of Kelvin, chairman of SSE, said the market remained \"challenging\" and that \"higher gas and non-energy costs unfortunately had to be reflected in the increase in household energy prices\". SSE was the first of the major suppliers to raise its prices, which the company said was due to price pressures outside its control. Lord Smith defended the move. \"While some observers may choose to criticise SSE for making a profit and paying a dividend,\" he said, \"I believe that profit and dividend allow SSE to employ people, pay tax, provide services that customers need, make investments that keep the lights on and create jobs, while providing an income return that shareholders like pension funds need.\" 'No loss-leaders' SSE estimates that it lost about 115,000 customers - or 1.5% of the total - during the six months. During a conference call with reporters, chief executive Ian Marchant said that about three-quarters of that loss was perhaps due to SSE putting up its prices first. He blamed some of the customer switching on rival power suppliers offering attractive introductory deals to lure customers. \"We don't offer loss-leader products,\" he said. The company also said that the jump in profits was partly the result of customers turning up their heating during April and September. The two months were unusually cold compared with the same period in 2011, when temperatures were above average. But these explanations have not stopped criticism of the profits and price rises from union leaders and consumer groups. \"It is chilling that companies such as SSE should announce these enormous half-year profits when families are being forced to take the hit for yet another massive price hike,\" said Mike Jeram, head of business and environment at the Unison trade union. Richard Lloyd, executive director of consumer group Which?, said the government should set up an independent review to look at whether recent price increases were justified. \"Without greater scrutiny of energy prices, consumers simply will not believe that they are getting a good deal,\" he said. Adam Scorer, of watchdog Consumer Focus, said: \"Energy companies need to make profit so they can invest in our energy infrastructure. But if confidence is to be rebuilt in this market, the information that all energy firms are required to provide must be fully transparent, comparable, and include profit and trading information from across the whole of their business.\" Gary Hornby, an energy analyst at Inenco, said that wholesale gas and power prices were on the rise and investment in cleaner forms of generation remained costly, with these costs being passed on to consumer. Investigation SSE's announcement comes at a time when the gas industry is under investigation by regulators amid allegations that firms manipulated the wholesale gas market. On Tuesday, Energy Secretary Ed Davey said he was \"extremely concerned\" at the allegations and would apply the \"full force of the law\" if needed. All of the UK's big six energy suppliers, including SSE, have denied any involvement. Mr Marchant repeated on Wednesday that his company operated in a \"fair and legitimate way\". He said that UK regulators had not yet contacted SSE for any information, but added that the company would co-operate in any way it could. SSE used to be called Scottish and Southern Energy.",

            "input": "By Judith BurnsEducation reporter The workforce is \"increasingly unstable\", with not enough new entrants to replace those who leave, the study says. The government says it has boosted funding to childcare providers, in order to help parents get back to work. But the report urges a total overhaul of early-years careers. Good-quality early-years provision is key to reducing the attainment gap between children from disadvantaged families and their better-off peers, say the authors. But this provision is at risk as committed professionals find themselves undervalued, underpaid and unable to make ends meet, they add. Early-years workers face \"multiple barriers\" on a daily basis, says report author Dr Sara Bonetti, director of early years at the Education Policy Institute. \"We must do far more to support workers, otherwise we risk compromising the quality of provision and widening the disadvantage gap.\" The authors studied the pay of about 290,000 workers. The latest full official figures available, for the two years ending in March 2017, showed: Average salaries are pushed down because of the large number of apprentices working in the sector who can be paid as little as £4.15 an hour under government rules and who often move on quickly, says Dr Bonetti. And self-employed workers find their working hours extended by unpaid paperwork and the requirements of Ofsted, she adds. The report finds: 'More at Tesco' Lydia Pryor, who runs a pre-school in Aldborough, Norfolk, told the authors she had recently lost her deputy \"because she found another job that pays more, and I had nothing that could entice her to stay\". \"She's had enough of just making do and worrying about money when her car breaks down.\" Lydia admits: \"You could earn more at Tesco\". In Warrington, Cheshire, childminder Melanie Han says lockdown pushed many in the sector out of business, but as it eases, good-quality childcare will be needed more than ever. \"I think we're going to have significant behavioural problems to deal with over the coming months. \"Children have missed out on so much at a critical time in their development. \"It's heartbreaking.\" According to Liz Bayram, chief executive of the Professional Association for Childcare and Early Years, childminder numbers are \"in freefall\". \"The sector is crying out for a coherent workforce development strategy that supports and incentivises practitioners to continuously improve their skills, gain higher qualifications and progress their careers.\" Neil Leitch, chief executive of the Early Years Alliance, said: \"Research shows that the first five years of a child's life are absolutely critical for their long-term learning and development and yet, when it comes to education policy in this country, all too often the early years sector is still seen as the poor relation of schools. He said it was no surprise that staff, on \"unacceptably low salaries\", were opting to leave. The report urges the government to convene an expert group to devise a new careers strategy, to include: Tulip Siddiq , the shadow minister for children and early years, said years of underfunding was \"driving talented staff out of the sector and letting down the young children whose life chances are shaped by vital early education\". She said: \"Labour has been calling for targeted support to save the thousands of nurseries and childminding business that are threatened with closure due to Covid-19 but we cannot go back to undervaluing the childcare workforce after this crisis. \"We must invest in them for the sake of the next generation.\" Training investment The Department for Education said the government had invested £20m in better training and development for early-years staff, particularly in disadvantaged areas. \"We are supporting their career progression through better qualifications, more apprenticeship opportunities and routes to graduate level qualifications,\" it said. \"Nurseries, pre-schools and childminders are a vital support network for families and will play an integral role in this country's recovery from the coronavirus pandemic. \"That's why they have received significant financial support over the past months and will benefit from a planned £3.6bn funding in 2020-21 to local authorities for free early education and childcare places.\" The DfE added: \"We continue to provide extra stability and reassurance to nurseries and childminders that remain open by 'block-buying' childcare places for the rest of this year at the level we would have funded before coronavirus, regardless of how many children are attending.\"",

Army values share \"common ground\" with minority communities, he said. Soldiers from black, Asian and minority ethnic groups make up just over 10% of the Army's 87,000 regular personnel, slightly less than the proportion in the wider population. But many come from the Commonwealth, not the UK. As of 1 October 2014 figures from the Ministry of Defence (MoD) show that 42% (4,660) of BAME personnel were from the UK, with the remaining 58% (6,300) from foreign and commonwealth countries. \"My highest priority is ensuring we continue to have the best possible talent throughout our Army,\" Sir Nick said. \"Our recruitment from the black, Asian and minority ethnic communities has been improving over the years, but it is nowhere near where it needs to be. We have to do more.\" He added: \"The values and standards we espouse resonate closely with these communities and there is much common ground that we can build on to broaden our recruitment base.\" 'Cultural understanding' The Army plans to take part in 10 events \"engaging with BAME communities\" this year, and its recruitment campaign will also use social media. A set of networks exists within the Army - including groups for Buddhists, Christians, Hindus, Humanists, Jewish people, Muslims, Sikhs and lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender personnel. Imam Asim Hafiz, Islamic religious adviser to the chief of the defence staff and service chiefs, said values in the armed forces are \"fully compatible\" with those of Islam. He added: \"Diversity is one of our nation's greatest strengths and it is only right that our armed forces benefit from that capital. \"This not only brings them closer to the people that they serve, but also enhances the military's cultural understanding when deployed.\" Afzal Amin, a former British army officer, told Radio 4's Today programme the armed forces needed varied \"linguistic, cultural and social\" capabilities. He added: \"If we are going to deploy in the future into northern Iraq again, or in Syria, we need people that can speak not only to local civilian populations we wish to influence, but also to our partners and our allies. Having that proficiency in the language is very very important.\" According to the 2011 census, 14% of people in England and Wales were from black, Asian and minority ethnic communities. The figure was just over 4% in Scotland and 1.8% in Northern Ireland. • An earlier version of this story incorrectly attributed a quote from Afzal Amin to Asim Hafiz. This has been amended.",

The Bafta-winning sitcom, about a long-distance relationship between a girl from south Wales and an Essex boy, was last screened in the UK in 2010. The BBC confirmed the announcement, saying it was \"hugely excited\" to welcome the show back to BBC One. In a joint statement, Corden and Jones - who both also star in the show - said: \"Over the last 10 years we've talked a lot about Gavin and Stacey - where they might be today and what their lives might look like. \"And so in secret we took the plunge and wrote this one hour special. \"We've loved revisiting Barry and Essex again, and bringing the characters back together has been a joy. \"We're so excited to get the chance to work with our fabulous cast and crew once more and to give fans of the show a festive treat this Christmas.\" The series was originally broadcast on the BBC from 2007 to 2010. The show's 2010 New Year's Day finale had record ratings for the series with 10.3 million viewers. Corden and Jones - who play the characters Smithy and Nessa - will be joined in the new special by castmates Mathew Horne and Joanna Page - who play the titular couple, plus Rob Brydon, Larry Lamb, Melanie Walters and Alison Steadman. Charlotte Moore, director of BBC Content, said: \"We can't wait to see what's happened to everyone over the last nine years, and what's next for one of the nation's favourite comedy families.\" Why we fell in love with Barry Island Gavin and Stacey introduced the town of Barry in Wales to the masses and the sharp, witty one-liners, warm and believable characters and touching pathos had viewers hooked from the get-go. Some reviewers felt the show lost something in its move to mainstream TV but they were few and far between. Metro described the last Christmas special as the \"greatest festive TV special ever\". And the show won a slew of awards, including two Baftas, four British Comedy awards and a National Television award.

He held office from 1992 to 1998 and again from 2000 until his resignation in 2004 - a total of five terms. But on 14 February 2005, a year after he quit as leader, explosives were detonated as his motorcade drove past the St George Hotel in the Lebanese capital, Beirut. His death had profound implications in Lebanon, paving the way for the Cedar Revolution and the withdrawal of Syrian troops from the country after 29 years. The investigation into his murder led to years of political turmoil. An unprecedented international tribunal began at The Hague in January 2014, at which four suspected members of Shia militant group Hezbollah were tried in absentia for the murder of Hariri. Saudi fortune Hariri was born in 1944 to a poor Sunni Muslim family in the southern port of Sidon. After training as a teacher, he went abroad to seek his fortune, following a path well-trodden by many of his countrymen. He found employment in a construction firm in Saudi Arabia, eventually establishing his own firm, Saudi Oger. He became the personal contractor for Prince Fahd, who went on to become king of Saudi Arabia, and amassed a fortune that propelled him into the US magazine Forbes as one of the richest 100 men in the world. A flamboyant figure, he was well regarded among international leaders, counting French President Jacques Chirac as a close friend. When he returned from Saudi Arabia in 1992 as prime minister, he was seen as a breath of fresh air in a country dominated by former militia leaders. Ordinary people pinned hopes on the dynamic tycoon to restore Beirut's pre-war reputation as a leading financial centre. He put the country back on the international financial map through the issuing of Eurobonds and won plaudits from the World Bank for his plan to borrow and beg for reconstruction money. Feud with Lahoud But his economic record was mixed: his ambitious borrow-and-build schemes left massive public debt and budget deficit, which pushed up interest rates and slowed growth. He was accused of ignoring the poor, despite his long record of funding charitable causes. Ordinary Lebanese began to judge him by the same standards of cynicism applied to other politicians, many of whom had made their fortunes in civil war activities. When he left power in 1998, it came about partly because Hariri was reluctant to play second fiddle to President Emile Lahoud, a former army chief. Hariri's legacy was further tainted by accusations of corruption and he also faced criticism for saddling the country with big debts. But Hariri returned in October 2000, taking his old job back off the political veteran Selim al-Hoss. He presided over a revival in Lebanon's tourism industry, largely thanks to hundreds of thousands of visiting Gulf Arabs. But he again fell out with his pro-Syrian government colleagues during the crisis over the extension of President Lahoud's term in office. He never overtly came out against Syria in the dispute, but his resignation in October 2004 was taken as a clear protest against the Syrian pressure to keep Mr Lahoud in office. It was a move which some say cost him his life.",

Alex Sobel MP said early diagnosis was key to stopping people reoffending. A Ministry of Justice spokesperson said all new prisoners underwent three assessments within their first week during which ADHD may be detected. Mr Sobel, Labour MP for Leeds North West and the vice chair of the group, said teenagers arrested for offences such as \"fighting, bike theft and shoplifting\" should be screened. \"The earlier we pick it up the better it is for the individual, the taxpayers and ability for them not to move on into the criminal justice system,\" he said. \"If ADHD goes undiagnosed then reoffending rates are around 32%, studies show - a third of people with ADHD are going to reoffend because they haven't been diagnosed and no action has been taken.\" Researchers have previously found people with the condition were more likely to commit crime - 37% of men and 15% of women - than adults without the condition - 9% of men and 2% of women. And, according to charity ADHD Action an estimated 30% of adult prisoners have the condition. David Allen, 34, from Wombwell, near Barnsley, was 18 when he was first sent to prison and was jailed five more times before he turned 23. He was diagnosed with ADHD when he was 33 and said he believed if his condition had been spotted sooner his life may have been very different. \"I look back and think it's such a shame I wasn't treated because that would never have happened,\" he said. \"There's thousands and thousands of people like me both in prison and outside that are exactly the same. Locked up basically for being ill, rather than committing a crime knowingly.\" What is ADHD? Source: ADHD Action Calls for screening have been backed by the Royal College of Psychiatrists and research has found the estimated cost of caring for inmates with ADHD in the UK was £11.7m. Dr Louise Theodosiou said screening could \"potentially help more children to get the treatment they need for their illness\". The Ministry of Justice said a trial was currently under way at Isis Prison and Young Offenders Institution, in south-east London, investigating \"how to deliver cost-effective and safe treatments to adult prisoners with ADHD\".

            "input": "The European Court of Justice ruled that musicians cannot \"sample\" other artists' records without permission. Kraftwerk brought the action against hip-hop producers Moses Pelham and Martin Haas in 1999 over the Sabrina Setlur song Nur Mir (Only Me). The ECJ decision could have huge implications for the music industry. Monday's ruling means that any reproduction of a sound sample taken from an existing recording must be authorised by the original producer. Kraftwerk's Ralf Hütter and Florian Schneider-Esleben are credited as producers of Metal On Metal, a track from their album Trans-Europe Express. But the ECJ also ruled that use of a modified sample that was unrecognisable from the original could be used without permission. The Kraftwerk dispute centres on a short drum sequence looped repeatedly in Setlur's song. In 2012 Germany's Federal Court of Justice ruled Setlur's song should no longer be promoted, agreeing with Hutter that it amounted to copyright infringement. But in 2016, the German Constitutional Court - the country's highest court - decided the impact on Kraftwerk did not outweigh \"artistic freedom\". The case then reached the ECJ on appeal. Florian Drücke, chairman of German musician's union BVMI, said the ECJ \"has made it clear that a phonogram manufacturer is allowed to allow or prohibit the duplication of his phonogram and under certain conditions very short audio sequences against the use of third parties\". But he added that the court had also created \"criteria as to when sampling falls within the scope of art freedom\". \"The interpretation of the new criteria of the ECJ will be up for discussion,\" he went on. Meanwhile, according to The Wrap, Meatloaf has settled another copyright case involving his hit I Would Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That). The case was originally filed in 2017 in a California federal court by Enclosed Music, which argued the track copied 1989 song [I'd Do] Anything for You by Jon Dunmore Sinclair and Mike Molina. The settlement details have not been disclosed. In other news, a US court has ruled that Katy Perry copied her 2013 song Dark Horse from a Christian rap song. Perry gave evidence in the week-long trial, denying she had ever heard the 2009 song Joyful Noise by Flame before recording her track. She even offered to perform Dark Horse for the court room when her lawyers were unable to play the song for jurors because of a broken speaker system. The jury ruled against Perry on Monday.

            "input": "Since September, blazes in eastern Australia have killed six people, destroyed more than 700 homes and blanketed towns and cities including Sydney in smoke. On Thursday, two volunteer firefighters heading to a blaze in Sydney's south-west also died when their fire engine was hit by a tree. New South Wales, Australia's most populous state, has declared a state of emergency for a second time in two months. The country is also facing a historic heatwave - the national average temperature broke the previous records on two consecutive days this week. As the crisis rolls on, many Australians have accused the prime minister of failing to provide reassurances or support to fire-hit communities. Mr Morrison and his government have also faced a mounting backlash over their climate policies. How has the government responded to the fires? Mr Morrison has called the fires a \"national disaster\", but he has often been accused of downplaying the severity of the crisis. He has readily offered \"thoughts and prayers\" to victims, toured fire zones and praised crews - most of whom are trained but unpaid volunteers. Mr Morrison rejected calls for greater funding of firefighters, saying existing resources were sufficient and that volunteers \"want to be there\". He later pledged an additional A$11m (£5.7m; $7.5m) towards aerial firefighting. Much criticism has focused on the government's support for coal-fired power plants. But the Labor opposition has also attracted anger over its pro-coal policies. Several protests have been held, including thousands of people coming onto the streets in Sydney, where the air quality has been pushed to hazardous levels. One woman left the remains of her home, destroyed by a bushfire, outside parliament in Canberra. On them she had written: \"Morrison, your climate crisis destroyed my home.\" Their views are not shared by all, however. Others have placed the blame for the fires on a severe drought, the sheer amount of dry land there is to burn, and what they view as natural weather cycles. Why was Morrison's holiday problematic? Mr Morrison's decision to go on holiday with his family had not been publicly announced, but his office said the opposition leader Anthony Albanese had been told. In the media and on social media, suggestions that he should not be \"missing in action\" at a time of crisis escalated, particularly as he had once been critical of a fire commissioner for doing the same. Phrases such as #WhereisScoMo, and #FireMorrison have been trending online. Mr Albanese had said the PM was entitled to a holiday, but criticised the \"lack of information and transparency\". Mr Morrison's office initially denied he was in Hawaii, but then a picture emerged on social media apparently showing him posing with other tourists on a beach drinking a beer. On Friday, Mr Morrison confirmed he was in Hawaii but was returning early. His announcement came shortly after two firefighters - both volunteers and fathers of young children - had been killed. They are the first firefighters to die in the crisis. \"Given these most recent tragic events, I will be returning to Sydney from leave as soon as can be arranged,\" he said in a statement. He said the country had been well-managed in his absence, but: \"I deeply regret any offence caused to any of the many Australians affected by the terrible bushfires by my taking leave with family at this time.\" What has the government said on climate change? Australia, with its coal-dependent economy, has one of the highest per capita greenhouse gas emission rates globally. The 2020 Climate Change Performance Index ranked Australia last of 57 countries for its climate policy, saying it had gone backwards under the Morrison government. The UN has also identified Australia as one of seven G20 nations needing to do more on their climate promises. Australia has warmed overall by slightly more than 1C since 1910, with most of the heating occurring since 1950. While bushfires are a natural part of the Australian cycle, the Bureau of Meteorology has said the rising heat has exacerbated drought which in turn has made dangerous fires more frequent and more intense. The group Emergency Leaders for Climate Action, made up of former former fire chiefs and emergency leaders, has accused the government of being \"missing in action\" on climate action and ignoring calls for a crisis summit. Mr Morrison - prime minister since last year - has suggested reining in the country's emissions would be a drop in ocean. \"To suggest that at just 1.3% of emissions, that Australia doing something more or less would change the fire outcome this season - I don't think that stands up to any credible scientific evidence at all,\" he said recently. Deputy PM Michael McCormack rejected such questions as the concerns of \"raving inner-city lefties\", adding: \"We've had fires in Australia since time began.\" More recently, Mr Morrison has acknowledged climate change as one of \"many other factors\" in fuelling the bushfires. But he has dismissed direct links between the fires and his government's policies. \"Let me be clear about this - climate change is a global challenge. Australia is playing our role as part of this global challenge,\" he said on Thursday.",

US officials said gardeners should not plant seeds of unknown origin. The packages are believed to be part of a global \"brushing\" scam to gain positive reviews for online selling sites. Amazon's new guidelines, in effect since 3 September, also prohibit the sale of seeds within America by non-US residents. It added that sellers may be banned if they do not follow the new guidelines. But the retailer has not confirmed if its ban will extend to other countries. News of the policy change was first reported by the Wall Street Journal. At least 14 plant species have been identified among the mystery packages, including mint, lavender and roses. Unsolicited seed packages are also being reported in other countries, including the UK. Last month Scottish authorities advised people not to handle the seeds, for fear they could damage local ecosystems. In an update on 11 August, the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) said experts analysing the seeds found few problems with them, and that China was assisting with investigations. But the USDA has warned people against planting the seeds, saying they could be non-native species or carry pests and diseases. So-called \"brushing\" scams involve sellers sending out low value items such as seeds or rings. Each fake \"sale\" then generates an online review that appears to boost the seller's legitimacy.",

Three of the group will now \"descend\" to the planet, don real spacesuits and walk on the \"surface\" of Mars. In reality, this surface will just be the sandy floor of another module at the Moscow-based experiment. The Mars500 project is run by Russia's Institute of Biomedical Problems with the participation of the European Space Agency (Esa). It aims to investigate some of the psychological and physiological effects that humans might encounter on a long-duration spaceflight. \"So far, I must say we've had no major problems,\" said Martin Zell, who heads up the Esa scientific programme on the International Space Station (ISS). \"There is permanent monitoring, so we understand their health very well. We have a lot of data now on their mental state and on how their bodies are reacting. That's important because there is a link between the two,\" he told BBC News. The crew comprise three Russians, two EU citizens and a Chinese national. Alexander Smoleevskiy, Sukhrob Kamolov, Alexey Sitev, Diego Urbina, Romain Charles and Wang Yue all had to pass through a rigorous selection procedure to get on the programme, and their \"departure\" on the grounded spaceship last year drew wide international attention and curiosity. For eight months, the group has worked together inside the closed facility which has no windows and a total interior volume of about 550 cubic metres (19,423 cubic feet). The coming days will see Smoleevskiy, Urbina, and Wang enter a \"descent module\", from where they will have access to a further container that has been set up to look like the dusty terrain of Mars. The trio will put on the type of spacesuit worn by real cosmonauts and simulate the sort of geological investigations future astronauts might pursue on the Red Planet one day. Three sorties are planned, with the first outing due to take place on 14 February. A robot rover will assist the Mars walkers, and their activity will be overseen by Mission Control Moscow which normally deals with events on the ISS. \"They will go on to the surface two at a time, with one man staying behind in the landing module,\" explained Dr Zell. \"Working in their suits, they will have a drill to get below the surface; and they will do a virtual analysis of the samples the drill delivers to them. They will also take samples back to the module for further analysis.\" Although the Mars500 experiment has not been able to simulate the constant weightlessness of a genuine eight-month journey through space, it has been able to introduce one important realism - that of a time delay in the communications between the crew and their ground controllers outside the modules. Messages take 20 minutes to pass between the two ends of the link, similar to the lag radio messages travelling the great distance between Mars and Earth would come up against. This proved particularly testing last month when controllers deliberately - and without warning to the crew - cut the power to the modules. They even blew a small amount of smoke into the containers to give the men inside the sensation that they were dealing with a serious electrical failure. \"They spent almost a day without energy,\" Dr Zell said. \"They had to work through their emergency procedures and analyse the situation. They didn't panic and they remembered their training.\" Mars500 is so called because it simulates the duration of a possible human Mars mission in the future using conventional propulsion: 250 days for the trip to the Red Planet, 30 days on the Martian surface and 240 days for the return journey, totalling 520 days. (In reality, it would probably take a lot longer than this.) The six men are due \"back on Earth\" in November. Jonathan.Amos-INTERNET@bbc.co.uk",

He was the first Welshman to referee an FA Cup Final, the famous game in 1953 when Stanley Matthews helped Blackpool come from behind to beat Bolton 4-3. The plaque can be seen at his childhood home at Six Bells in Blaenau Gwent. Mr Griffiths was born in Blaina in 1909, moving with his family to Six Bells four years later. A teacher by profession, he began refereeing schoolboy matches and officiated at the first of his three World Cup finals in Brazil in 1950. Another Welsh World Cup referee, Clive Thomas, will unveil the plaque. 'Fuelled my ambition' Mr Thomas, who officiated at the 1974 and 1978 World Cups, said it was a high honour to be asked to perform the ceremony. \"I held Mervyn in immense respect because he was a very strict referee and knowing that he, a fellow Welshman, had got to the very top, [it] fuelled my ambition. \"For me the 1953 FA Cup final will always be the Mervyn Griffiths final not the Stanley Matthews final as it was the first time a Welshman refereed the FA Cup final.\" Mr Griffiths made his mark in the 1954 World Cup final when he denied Hungarian legend Ferenc Puskas an equaliser in the last minute, with West Germany leading 3-2. The Hungarians had been clear favourites, but the Welsh linesman's flag ruled it offside, and the West Germans won the World Cup for the first time in a game that became known as the \"Miracle of Berne\". At the 1958 World Cup - where Wales took part in the finals for the first and only time - Mr Griffiths was a referee's assessor as his countrymen reached the quarter-finals. Welsh football expert Ceri Stennett said: \"In his day he was regarded as Britain's top referee and one of Europe's leading officials.\" The plaque will be put up on Ty Ebbw Fach, a converted former pub which now hosts a heritage centre and coffee shop. It is close to the former Six Bells Colliery, where Mr Griffiths's brother and nephew died in a 1960 disaster. Also due to attend is Gerrard Lewis, 88, from Port Talbot, who officiated alongside Mr Griffiths as a linesman. Hedley McCarthy, the leader of Blaenau Gwent council, initiated the plaque idea to celebrate local heroes. Mr Griffiths died, aged 65, in 1974.",

Experts have warned the tech involved could spark a \"political crisis\". Dr Supasorn Suwajanakorn acknowledged that there was a \"potential for misuse\". But, at the Vancouver event, he added the tech could be a force for good. The computer engineer is now employed by Google's Brain division. He is also working on a tool to detect fake videos and photos on behalf of the AI Foundation. Damage risk Dr Suwajanakorn, along with colleagues Steven Seitz and Ira Kemelmacher-Shlizerman from the University of Washington, released a paper in July 2017 describing how they created the fake Obama. They developed an algorithm that took audio and transposed it on to a 3D model of the president's face. The task was completed by a neural network, using 14 hours of Obama speeches and layering that data on top of a basic mouth shape. Dr Suwajanakorn acknowledged that \"fake videos can do a lot of damage\" and needed an ethical framework. \"The reaction to our work was quite mixed. People, such as graphic designers, thought it was a great tool. But it was also very scary for other people,\" he told the BBC. Political crisis It could offer history students the chance to meet and interview Holocaust victims, he said. Another example would be to let people create avatars of dead relatives. Experts remain concerned that the technology could create new types of propaganda and false reports. \"Fake news tends to spread faster than real news as it is both novel and confirms existing biases,\" said Dr Bernie Hogan, a senior research fellow at the Oxford Internet Institute. \"Seeing someone make fake news with real voices and faces, as seen in the recent issue about deepfakes, will likely lead to a political crisis with associated calls to regulate the technology.\" Deepfakes refers to the recent controversy over an easy-to-use software tool that scans photographs and then uses them to substitute one person's features with another. It has been used to create hundreds of pornographic video clips featuring celebrities' faces. Dr Suwajanakorn said that while fake videos were a new phenomenon, it was relatively easy to detect forgeries. \"Fake videos are easier to verify that fake photos because it is hard to make all the frames in video perfect,\" he told the BBC. \"Teeth and tongues are hard to model and could take another decade,\" he added. The researcher also questioned whether it made sense for fake news creators to make complex videos \"when they can just write fake stories\".",

Remember that having equal pay does not necessarily mean that you do not have a gender pay gap. The BBC reported in October that its gender pay gap was 9.3%, but that may be because more men are in senior jobs than women. The chart above shows the number of cases about equal pay in employment tribunals that have reached conclusions. What it does not show is the outcome of those cases. The Ministry of Justice publishes figures for the outcomes, but they are not as much help as you might expect. Since 2011, so few cases were successful at a hearing they were recorded as 0%. But, on the flipside, the proportion of cases recorded as unsuccessful at a hearing was also 0%. So what is going on? 'Complicated' A large proportion of cases are \"dismissed upon withdrawal\", in other words the employee and employer either came to a conclusion away from the tribunal or the employee withdrew, and in those circumstances the results are not made public. So we don't know how often genuine cases of unequal pay occur. No other area of complaint has this feature at tribunals - discrimination on the grounds of age or race or disability all have at least a small proportion of cases decided one way or the other by the tribunal. It turns out that demonstrating that jobs are equal is such a difficult and drawn-out process that very few cases are ever decided at tribunal level. \"The procedures that have to be followed in equal pay cases are so complicated that people settle,\" said Caroline Underhill from Thompsons Solicitors. \"For all other claims the legal procedures are far less convoluted and the law is easier to understand.\" It also means that cases which do proceed to tribunal can drag on. \"Equal pay cases are notorious for taking a long time... making the cases expensive\", according to the TUC. Tribunal charging As we see in the chart at the beginning of this article there is no clear pattern in the numbers of equal pay cases being heard in tribunals. And it is particularly difficult to read anything into it because of the impact of charging people who brought cases. There was a big fall in the number of all types of cases going to tribunals when fees were introduced in July 2013. The numbers went up again after July 2017, when the government was forced by the courts to stop charging fees. Read more from Reality Check Send us your questions Follow us on Twitter",

The council's cabinet committee agreed on Tuesday to try to push on with plans to use a compulsory purchase order to buy the building which closed in 1995. The owner's lawyer said yesterday it would challenge any such action. Concerns would be \"progressed through the fullness of time through legal proceedings,\" he added. The former asylum, built in 1844, has been vandalised, looted and fire-damaged since its closure. Some of the buildings are listed. Developers had planned to build up to 280 homes, businesses and community facilities on the site. No work was done and planning permission lapsed in 2009. In November 2008, the main hall in the building was destroyed in a blaze which required 50 firefighters to bring it under control. Officials raised concerns about the deteriorating state of the building and served the urgent works order last June, estimating the cost of repairs at £800,000. \"Demands for payment in regard to the council's expenditure have been served on the owner [an off-shore company] but no payment has been received,\" says the latest report to the council.

Now 28, Taylor will release her music across the world through Universal Music Group. She announced her new deal with a photo of herself with Universal bosses Lucian Grange and Monte Lipman. Part of her new deal means Taylor will own all of the music she records, which will mean she earns more money from sales and streams of her albums. She has also persuaded Universal to agree to repay their artists with any money they make from streams on Spotify. In 2015 she helped persuade Apple Music to change how they pay artists. \"As part of my new contract with Universal Music Group, I asked that any sale of their Spotify shares result in a distribution of money to their artists,\" she wrote on Instagram. \"They have generously agreed to this, at what they believe will be much better terms than paid out previously by other major labels. \"I see this as a sign that we are headed towards positive change for creators - a goal I'm never going to stop trying to help achieve.\" What the deal means for Taylor - and other artists By Newsbeat music reporter, Steve Holden In September, Taylor Swift was named the second most powerful woman in music in the BBC's Woman's Hour Power List (behind Beyonce). She was celebrated for being \"unafraid to take on big brands and call out injustice\" and once again, she seems to have put that at the heart of her negotiations with Universal. She's had her grievances with Spotify before, but this deal makes sure her own label pays its artists a better share of its streaming earnings. Let's not forget though, as well as looking out for her fellow musicians, this deal benefits her massively too. Whilst the exact figure of the deal hasn't been revealed, it's likely to make her even wealthier than she already is. It cements her as not only a hugely successful pop star, but an incredibly savvy businesswoman too. Taylor says she is \"ecstatic\" with the new deal. In a statement, Monte Lipman says Taylor has \"redefined the paradigm of the modern music industry.\" And Lucian Grange adds: \"She can achieve anything.\" Taylor's most recent album - her last release on Big Machine - was Reputation, which sold 4.5 million copies when it was released in 2017.

He told the BBC he believed the Turkish authorities had \"no legitimate reason\" to convict him of terror offences, and he wanted to be left alone to spend time with friends and family in the UK. Robinson, who left the country without permission from the Turkish courts, said he had \"made the hard decision to take the matter into my own hands\".

Robinson, who claimed he had travelled to the war zone to volunteer as a military medic, said he had received \"very little\" support from the British authorities.

But it will not consider tuition fees - with the government set to publish a separate response to calls to cut fees. Universities UK warns it will matter \"how much\" funding is left after the review, as well as how it is allocated. The Conservative manifesto has promised to tackle what it calls \"low-quality courses\" in university - and the review will examine how funding can be targeted for priority subjects. While most university funding is delivered through tuition fees, the government still provides a significant direct stream of grants. This includes subsidies for subjects that are more expensive to teach, such as medicine, science and technology. There is also money to improve access to higher education for disadvantaged youngsters. At present the funding is widely distributed, to more than 300 higher education providers. But the future allocation and focus of the money is to be examined by the OFS review. The Russell Group, representing some of the UK's major research universities, says the annual grants represent 13% of funding for undergraduate places. The university group has raised concerns about these grants being cut, arguing that funding for many courses is already stretched. A separate consultation has already been launched on £70m reductions to next year's teaching grant. But the OFS review has been backed by Education Secretary Gavin Williamson. \"I am strongly in support of this move to evaluate value for money and to consider the best way to target grant funding to the higher education sector in future,\" said Mr Williamson, in a letter to the OFS earlier this month. The education secretary has told the OFS he wants to prioritise support for the government's industrial strategy, which aims to invest in \"skills, industries and infrastructure\". There will also be a push for more effective ways to spend money allocated for recruiting disadvantaged students, and support for specialist institutions. But Jo Grady, leader of the University and College Union, criticised how value for money was based on an \"obsession with flimsy metrics\" around graduate earnings. \"What can future employment or earnings potential really tell us about teaching quality?\" she said. But what remains unknown is how the OFS review will combine with the government's promised response to Philip Augar's review, which recommended reducing tuition fees from £9,250 to £7,500 per year. The review, commissioned by the former prime minister, Theresa May, also called for further education and skills to have a fairer share of funding. A spokeswoman for Universities UK warned that any changes to the teaching grant or fees could leave a \"funding gap\". \"The fundamental review will cover 'how' teaching funding will be allocated - what will also matter is 'how much' teaching funding will there be, particularly if the government is minded to make any changes to fees,\" said the spokeswoman.",

We asked The White House press office what the president's data source was for his claim, and they directed us to a Washington Post fact-check article on crime in cities. That article uses Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) crime data from the first half of 2019 - the most recent official data source on US cities with populations over 100,000. The top 10 cities for overall violent crime, which includes major urban areas New York, Los Angeles and Chicago, are all run by Democrats. The Republican-run city with the highest number of cases of violent crime is Jacksonville in Florida, which is 17th on the FBI list. However, if we look at violent crime cases per 10,000 people, Mr Trump's claim isn't quite correct. Springfield in Missouri is run by an independent mayor. The rest, though, have Democratic administrations. Most large cities in America, however, are run by Democrats. As of September 2020, the top 100 largest US cities are run by 64 Democrats, 28 Republicans, three independents and four non-partisans. Mr Trump has blamed Democrats for high rates of violent crime in cities they control. But the FBI has warned against using its statistics in a way which ranks cities and oversimplifies what causes crime. \"These rough rankings provide no insight into the numerous variables that mould crime in a particular town, city, county, state, tribal area, or region,\" it says on its website. \"Consequently, they lead to simplistic and/or incomplete analyses that often create misleading perceptions adversely affecting communities and their residents.\" Mr Trump has also said that Democratic-run cities are \"rampant with crime\", but some of the fastest increases in murder rates are in Republican-run cities. Data from local police departments does show stark increases in Democratic-run Chicago and New York. But that's also a trend seen in some Republican-run metropolitan areas. Lexington in Kentucky, a city of over 300,000 people, has seen 84.6% increase in murders when compared with the same period in 2019, for example. Mr Trump has not talked about these places. \"Murder is up about 25% nationally including nearly identical change in Democratic and Republican-run cities,\" says US crime analyst Jeff Asher. \"I think the more salient point is that cities across the country, regardless of the mayor's party, are seeing an alarming increase in murder nationally this year,\" he adds. Individual years can fluctuate but violent crime across the US has been on a downward trend since the 1990s. Read more from Reality Check Send us your questions Follow us on Twitter",

Fiona Scolding QC said abuse was disclosed at the time by parents but the police were not informed. The school had an \"unforgiving\" culture during almost 25 years of abuse from 1969, the hearing was told. Ms Scolding said it was a \"feeder school for the most significant public schools, such as Eton\", with past pupils including the current prime minister. Mr Johnson attended the school in 1975, six years after the first allegations of sexual abuse of pupils were made. Ms Scolding told the inquiry: \"The regime has been described in the [victims'] accounts as 'Spartan and unforgiving'. \"The boys who were abused identified a sexualised culture created by the abuse of staff against pupils. \"It was an environment where sexual touching was seen as acceptable and normal.\" The hearing was told allegations of abuse had been made against at least seven Ashdown House staff, involving 15 complainants. Two of those staff have since died, and one cannot be found, Ms Scolding said. 'Rotten to its very core' Martin Haigh, who taught at the school between 1973 and 1975, is the only person to have been convicted. Ms Scolding said: \"Haigh admitted sexually abusing three boys to the [then] head teacher and left under a cloud in 1975.\" But she said nobody thought to contact the police or refer the matter to the Department for Education. Haigh was eventually jailed in March 2017 for 12 years for 11 sex offences against boys at the school and possession of indecent images of children. Ms Scolding said boys at another school, St William's in Market Weighton, Yorkshire, were raped and sexually assaulted by members of staff. She said the school, which closed in 1992, was \"rotten to its very core\".

The other, Chamlong Srimuang, had led a popular pro-democracy uprising against Gen Kraprayoon's military control. Outside, days of street protests and a military crackdown had left several civilians dead. At that time, which came to be known as Black May, it seemed like there was no bridging the divide and neither side was willing to back down. Finally, the King Bhumibol Adulyadej summoned the two men to the palace and said to them: \"The nation belongs to everyone, not one or two specific people. Those who confront each other will all be the losers. And the loser of the losers will be the nation... \"For what purpose are you telling yourself that you're the winner when you're standing upon the ruins and debris?\" The words were simple but they resonated far beyond the room, capturing the mood of the entire country. 'Moral authority' The footage of the men bowing and accepting his authority was the moment the king solidified his position as the final arbitrator in an often divided Thailand. \"No-one could play that role at that time, under those circumstances, other than the one person who was the king of Thailand,\" says Thitinan Pongsudhirak from Chulalongkorn University. It was not the first time the king had intervened, although in theory his position is seen as above politics. In 1973, pro-democracy demonstrators were fired on by soldiers and were allowed into the palace for protection. Later the entire regime of the then Prime Minister Gen Thanom Kittikachorn collapsed. In 1981, King Bhumibol took a stand against a group of army officers who had staged yet another coup in Bangkok. His authority stemmed from the deep love and reverence Thais held for him not only as a public figure, but as a benign father figure who they looked up to and emulated. \"He had moral authority, accumulated over many decades,\" says Mr Pongsudhirak. \"It was by sheer force of personality and personal lifestyle; he was seen as leading an exemplary life that made people respect him and revere him.\" In his later years, the king took far fewer public stands in politics despite Thailand seemingly lurching from one crisis to another - although some say, despite his age and poor health, he was still wielding influence behind closed doors. In 2006, during Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra's divisive rule, the king did not publicly step in, choosing instead to urge the judiciary to solve the political stalemate. But that image of two powerful men bowing to the king in 1992 remains etched in people's memories and is referenced at times of similar strife. It made Thais believe that when things were spiralling into chaos, there was someone who could bring peace and order. \"He was a king that was loved and adored by all,\" said the statement read out on TV after the king's death by Prayuth Chan-ocha, the current prime minister who yet again found power through a coup. \"The reign of the king has ended and his kindness cannot be found anywhere else.\"",

            "input": "The relationship between science and science fiction has always been tempestuous. Gravity focuses on two astronauts stranded in space after the destruction of their space shuttle. Since Gravity's US release (it comes to the UK in November) many critics have praised the film for its scientific accuracy. But noted astrophysicist Dr Neil deGrasse Tyson, director of the Hayden Planetarium at the American Museum of Natural History in New York, had several issues with the accuracy of Gravity's portrayal of space. Through a series of posts on Twitter, Tyson - who later emphasised that he \"enjoyed the film very much\" - highlighted various errors. He noted the Hubble space telescope (orbiting at 350 miles above sea level), the International Space Station (at 250 miles), and a Chinese space station could never be in line of sight of one another. On top of that, most satellites orbit west to east, yet in the film the satellite debris was seen drifting east to west. Tyson also noted how Sandra Bullock's hair did not float freely as it would in zero-gravity. This is arguably not so much an error in physics, but a reflection of the limitations of cinematic technology to accurately portray actors in zero-gravity. That is, of course, without sending them into space for the duration of the film. There has always been a drive for scientific accuracy within science fiction, especially within the \"hard science fiction\" literary sub-genre. But sci-fi, especially in film, tends to have a more flamboyant approach, where realism is often dispensed with in favour of visual flair. The Michael Bay film Armageddon is known for its woeful number of inaccuracies, from the space shuttles separating their rocket boosters and fuel tanks in close proximity to each other (risking a collision) and to objects falling on to the asteroid under a gravitational pull seemingly as strong as the Earth's. More than one interested observer tried to work out how big the bomb would have to be to blow up an asteroid in the way demanded in the movie. Answer: Very big indeed. Nasa is reported to have even used Armageddon as part of a test within their training programme, asking candidates to identify all the scientific impossibilities within the film. Despite the presence of physicist Prof Brian Cox as a scientific adviser on Danny Boyle's Sunshine, artistic licence seeped in. There's a communications \"dead-zone\" around the Sun - not something easily explicable using real world rules. Despite claims to the contrary, Red Planet was riddled with scientific implausibilities, from the compatibility between modern equipment and 30-year old Russian technology (imagine attempting to connect a modern PC with a Sinclair Spectrum), to the Martian \"nematodes\" which had been eating algae that had been sent from earth for the past 30 years. The nematodes should have been worms but looked closer to beetles. And there was no explanation as to how they had evolved to eat non-Martian algae nor what they had eaten before. The science across the film was so \"creative\" that Nasa refused to act as scientific adviser on the film. But perhaps the biggest example of scientific licence occurs in a plethora of space-based dramas. \"The most commonly lauded example of 'bad science', intentionally placed into science fiction, is that of sound,\" says Ed Trollope, spacecraft operations engineer at technology firm Telespazio VEGA Deutschland. \"Because space is a vacuum, there is no sound, which means all those explosions and engine noises shouldn't be there.\" There's a simple cinematic reason for having the sound of an explosion when a spacecraft blows up - it feels right to the viewer. But other conventions are more difficult for scientists to accept. \"My pet peeve is inertia,\" says Trollope. \"There are many good reasons for keeping your engines on in space, but 'maintaining speed' is not one of them. If you turn your engines off, you don't stop.\" Some do it slightly better than others. \"I'd prefer not to single out a single film/book/series for this particular error, because it's so common - but I will laud the old television show Babylon 5, for doing a wonderful job of representing the mechanics of spaceflight inertia so nicely,\" explains Trollope. 2001: A Space Odyssey's silent scenes of space craft, with their rotating Stanford torus design, were closer than many later examples to the reality of travelling in space. \"A classic case of scientific inaccuracy was the first edition of Ringworld by Larry Niven, a novel which won both the Hugo and Nebula awards in 1971,\" suggests science fiction author Charles Stross. \"The author inadvertently set up a series of scenes which implied that the Earth spun on its axis in the wrong direction.\" Niven fixed it in the second printing. The Duncan Jones film Moon was lauded for a reasonably accurate portrayal of what lunar mining for Helium-3 could look like in the future. Helium-3 is rare on Earth but less rare on the Moon, and using an automated method with a human overseer might be possible. But the economics behind the mining is not explained. The alien signal in Contact is a prime example of what Seti (Search for Extra Terrestrial Intelligence) is looking for. This is perhaps not surprising as Contact was written by astronomer Carl Sagan. The use of mathematics in the transmission of the message seems reasonable and the time lag in the sending and receiving of the signal is also accurately represented in the film. Science fiction is not just expected to accurately portray science but also to anticipate future developments. \"Science fiction hits some predictive targets,\" says science fiction author Neal Asher, \"but rather in the way that a clip fired from an assault rifle will hit some of the enemy hidden in the jungle, but mostly hits trees and leaves.\" \"One of the past criticisms of science fiction has been that it's all 'zap-guns and rocket ships',\" suggests Asher. \"Now the science fiction writer can smugly point out the LaWs - the US navy laser system - knocking down drones, and then wax lyrical about the X Prize, Virgin Galactic and Elon Musk's SpaceX.\" Richard Blott, principal consultant at Space Enterprise Partnerships, recalls an early episode of Star Trek (\"Spock's Brain\", 1968) where the latest space ship is described as having an \"ion drive\". \"Nowadays most new communications satellites have ion engines and they have powered missions to Vesta and Ceres,\" says Blott. \"In the end,\" Asher concludes, \"science fiction is not there to make accurate predictions about the future, it is there to entertain and stimulate the imagination. There is absolutely no doubt that many of the imaginations it stimulates belong to scientists. To some extent it drives and directs science.\" Follow @BBCNewsMagazine on Twitter and on Facebook",

            "input": "On 18 June 1994, a few regulars had just finished watching the Republic of Ireland's footballers beat Italy in the World Cup. Just after 22:00 BST, two gunmen from the loyalist Ulster Volunteer Force (UVF), one armed with an AK47 and the other with a Czech-made rifle, walked inside and began firing indiscriminately. Six men were killed instantly. They were 34-year-old Adrian Rogan, Malcolm Jenkinson, 53, Barney Green, 87, Daniel McCreanor, 59, Patrick O'Hare, 35, and Eamon Byrne, 39. All were Catholic civilians. Mr Green was one of the oldest people to be killed in the Northern Ireland Troubles. Witnesses said that the killers laughed as they ran to their getaway car. In the immediate aftermath of the shooting, the brother of the bar owner described how the dead were \"piled on top of each other\". \"We are still in a state of complete numbness. My head is just saturated with the thought of it all. My feelings for these poor families,\" Keiron O'Toole said. He also rubbished claims by the UVF that the bar had been hosting a republican meeting. Explanation \"That is absolute nonsense. This was a mixed pub, Protestant and Catholic came in, no-one cared what religion they were. \"There was just a complete attempt to kill Catholics and who ever else happened to be in the bar among them.\" The UVF's explanation for the attack was also dismissed angrily by unionist politicians. \"Obviously these people are psychopaths - nothing short of it,\" an Ulster Unionist councillor said. \"I feel shocked and disgusted to think that these people call themselves loyalists.\" Senior police officers had their own views on the reason for the murders - a random sectarian attack in response to other killings. Two days previously, republican terror group the Irish National Liberation Army had killed three UVF members in Belfast. The following day, the UVF responded by killing a Catholic taxi driver and later two Protestants, they believed to be Catholic. They then turned their attention to the County Down bar. No-one has ever been convicted over the Loughinisland attack and the families of those who died became concerned about the investigation. In 2006, they lodged an official complaint with the police ombudsman, who has the power to investigate the actions of police in Northern Ireland throughout the Troubles. The families said they were prompted by revelations that linked the gang with at least one person who was an agent of the security forces. They were also concerned that the getaway car used by the killers was destroyed by police ten months after the shootings and not retained for evidential purposes. The ombudsman's report has been delayed on several occasions. It had been scheduled for publication in 2009, but was postponed after new material came forward. Relatives of those who died were strongly critical of the original ombudsman report when it was finally published in 2011. It found that the police did not properly investigate the killings but said there was no evidence of collusion between police and the UVF paramilitaries who carried out the attack. The report's findings were later quashed by Belfast High Court and a fresh investigation was opened by the ombudsman. In 2014, one of the survivors, Colm Smyth, called on those responsible to come forward. A police reservist was arrested and questioned over perverting the course of justice and withholding information in 2010. After considering the charges against him, the Public Prosecution Service said there was insufficient evidence and it would not be proceeding with a court case.",

            "input": "By Jane WakefieldTechnology reporter Rather than building vehicles from scratch, Otto will make kits to retro-fit existing lorries. The start-up, which will be self-funded, is betting on autonomous lorries becoming a reality before cars. Drivers will still be required to take the wheel on non-motorway roads. Implementing self-driving technology on US motorways is seen as being easier than on other roads or city streets. Details about when the first models will hit the road and the price of them are not yet available, although Otto has said that it would be \"a fraction\" of the cost of building a truck from scratch. The kit will include cameras, radar and lidar sensors which will allow the vehicle to safely keep within a lane, maintain a set speed and slow or stop when necessary. It is unlikely, at this stage, to be able to change lanes. Driverless trucks are already becoming a reality. Daimler has tested its Mercedes-Benz lorry on motorways in Germany and has also been granted the first autonomous truck licence in Nevada. In Europe, convoys of semi-autonomous driving lorries from six different manufacturers have travelled across the continent with a driver in the lead setting the speed and route and the other trucks following automatically. One of Otto's main goals will be to reduce road accidents involving drivers who work long hours. According to the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine, there are around 4,000 fatal accidents in the US each year involving trucks or buses. Between 10% and 20% of these are linked to driver fatigue. Otto is looking for 1,000 truckers to volunteer to have self-driving kits installed on their cabs to fine-tune the technology. The American Trucking Association, the US trade group for lorry drivers, said it was looking at drawing up a policy for self-driving technology later this year. \"We are paying close attention because this could be huge for trucking in terms of labour costs and safety,\" Dave Osiecki, chief of national advocacy told the AP news wire. San Francisco-based Otto currently has around 40 employees, including Anthony Levandowski, who built Google's first self-driving car. In an interview with technology website BackChannel, co-founder Lior Ron, ex-product boss for Google Maps, said the firm had already completed several tests of a retro-fitted Volvo cab. \"We have driven on a bunch of roads in California and outside, testing the sensors. And we've done driving with a safety driver in the back seat but the truck driving autonomously, and a couple of miles completely driverless without a driver in the back seat at all.\" But the firm has greater ambitions, he added. \"We want to get the technology to the point where it's safe to let the driver rest and sleep in his cabin and we can drive for him, exit to exit.\"",

Mr Freestone said: \"Guernsey seems to be at the high end of prescribing rates, we can find no demographic or explanation other than we seem to be high prescribers.\" He said in discussions with doctors, pharmacists, nurses, police, the border agency, drug and alcohol strategy and the clinics for drug addiction they discovered Fentanyl was the main cause of opiates in the island. Mr Freestone said: \"We have a very heroin-free island so obviously therefore this was becoming the main source for opium addicts to get their highs. \"All clinicians are being asked to review their choice of these patches particularly, rather than it being the first choice... and there are some alternatives around. \"It's not saying don't use them as sometimes it's going to be the right choice.\" He said it was not clear how the drugs were going from legitimate users to drug users, but \"as many ways as you can think of are probably possible\" including the possibility that people were selling on their prescription drugs. Mr Freestone said while the cost to the health service was important his primary concern was protecting the public health of our community. He said: \"Prudent use of this drug will do two things.

The architect from Bangor said that the research gave him a whole new perspective on his grandfather, who died when Mr Cook was aged 13. \"I went along thinking I would find out about the history of what they did at Dunkirk and the heroism of that, but through that I found out much more about his personality than I'd ever come across,\" he said. \"My granddad was living in London, I'm in Northern Ireland so I'd only see him maybe once a year. He just came across as this tough guy, but I saw a totally different side to him.\" Mr Cook said that since bringing the medal to the Antiques Roadshow, it has been an emotional journey. \"Their researchers were able to go into the National Archives and they took me to the inner sanctum of the Royal Naval College library,\" he said. \"It's a bit like the programme Who Do You Think You Are, only instead of the well-known personality it was me being taken on the journey.\" At the end of May 1940, at the government's request, thousands of boats set sail to rescue almost a quarter of a million Allied troops who had retreated from Hitler's forces onto the shores of Dunkirk in northern France. It was a time when Britain faced the possibility of defeat. Mr Cook said his grandfather's ship, the Medway Queen, was dubbed \"the Heroine of Dunkirk\". \"She started out as a little paddle-steamer on the Thames but was converted to a minesweeper,\" he said. \"They were meant to do one trip across to Dunkirk in a flotilla of these paddle-steamers \"My granddad and his crew decided this wasn't enough because there was so much work to be done. \"They went back and forward seven times in 10 days to save these 7,000 soldiers - they were the last ship to leave Dunkirk as the Germans arrived.\" Another clue that Mr Cook had was his father's MBE and his Lloyds Medal for Bravery at Sea, for an incident that happened later in WW2. \"He was in the Merchant Navy and his convoy was attacked by a pack of submarines - one night in October 1942, the ships were all sunk,\" he said. \"It turned out his convoy was a decoy diverted on a special course through the Bay of Biscay to take the submarines away from the north African landings convoys which were heading south. \"Coincidentally my grandfather was on one of those ships, so his son was sacrificed in a way so that he as captain of the Royal Ulstermen troop carrier could head for the north African troop landings. \"My dad went down with the ship and thought that this was the end of his life, but the ship was carrying bales of cotton that were floating in the sea and he found himself on the surface looking up at the stars. \"If that bale of cotton hadn't been there, I wouldn't be here today.\" Antiques Roadshow Detectives: The Medway Queen was broadcast on BBC Two on Monday 20 April, and is available to watch on the BBC iPlayer.",

Ms Taylor, 26, died when police raided her home in connection to a drug case. Ms Taylor's boyfriend fired at the officers who he said he believed were attackers breaking into their home. Police say they knocked on the door to announce their presence before breaking down the door with a battering ram. Ms Taylor's boyfriend said police did not make their presence known, and he fired out of self-defence. Three officers returned fire with 32 shots, six of which hit Ms Taylor. Ms Taylor's name became a global rallying cry as people demanded a thorough investigation into her death. Of the police officers present at the raid, one has been sacked so far. Brett Hankison has pleaded not guilty to charges of wanton endangerment for firing three shots into adjoining apartments during the narcotics raid. In September a grand jury ruled that the two other officers should not face charges. In October, after a judge gave permission for jurors to speak about the secret proceedings, a juror said prosecutors had not given homicide or manslaughter charges for them to consider. One officer, Jonathan Mattingly, who shot Ms Taylor's boyfriend in the leg, later said the case had \"nothing do with race\". In the latest development, two officers received letters this week from Louisville police department that indicate they will soon be removed from their positions, according to the New York Times. Officer Joshua Jaynes was told that an investigation by the department found he had lied when preparing the paperwork to obtain permission to conduct the search of Ms Taylor's home, reported US media. The letter also said he did not plan the raid appropriately. \"Because the operations plan was not completed properly, a very dangerous situation was created for all parties involved,\" it said, according to CBS news. A lawyer representing Mr Jaynes told CBS that the officer had not created the plan himself and that senior colleagues were present when the warrant was signed off. Mr Jaynes will be allowed to defend himself against the claims on Thursday, CBS says. Officer Myles Cosgrove also received the notification. Kentucky's attorney general has said Mr Cosgrove fired the shot that killed Ms Taylor. Black Lives Matter activists in the US have demanded that Louisville police take stronger action against the officers in the case and say that police too often escape unpunished after killing members of the public. Racial injustice and inequality in the US was again thrust under the spotlight in 2020 following Ms Taylor's death and the killing of unarmed black man George Floyd in May. But the issue remains divisive. On Tuesday a statue of Ms Taylor erected in Oakland, California, was found smashed just two weeks after it was installed.",

            "input": "Expectant parents are bombarded with advice about what they should and shouldn't be doing. Pregnant women mustn't eat too much as it may raise the baby's risk of obesity or diabetes, but they mustn't diet as that could have a similar effect. Neither should they exercise for fear of triggering a miscarriage, or get too stressed out because that's bad for the baby too. And if they do get stressed, they can't drink alcohol or go for a spa treatment to relax. You might start to think that staying at home would be the sensible thing to do, only this too is ridden with potential dangers for your unborn child: from ice-cream, to pet shampoo, to hair dye. Even lying down or your back can allegedly cut off your baby's blood supply. When I fell pregnant three years ago, I felt paralysed and somewhat patronised by all the conflicting advice out there. I was also obsessed with the little life that was growing inside me, and desperate for more information about what it was doing in there. Could it taste the curry I was eating; hear the songs I was singing; or sense when I took a swim in the freezing outdoor swimming pool near my home? So I began a quest to investigate the truth behind the old wives' tales, alarming newspaper headlines and government guidelines, and to probe deeper into the inner world of the developing child. So Bumpology was born. Booze and breastfeeding Some of what I discovered while researching the book amused and amazed me: I learned that parents who already have a couple of boys are statistically more likely to go on having boys, though no-one really understands why; that the shape of a woman's bump provides no clues as to the gender of the baby within, but that women with severe morning sickness are slightly more likely to be carrying a girl; and that contrary to the received wisdom, babies actually can focus on objects further than 30cm away (even if they often under- or overshoot). I also learned that much of the research underpinning medical advice on things like alcohol consumption - and even the health benefits of breastfeeding - is far from clear-cut and often aimed at the general population, rather than taking the individual into consideration. In the case of alcohol, there's clear evidence that heavy drinking is harmful -- and even a daily glass of wine may increase the odds of a baby being born underweight, which carries additional risks to its health. However, below this level, there is a massive grey zone where scientists simply don't yet have an answer to whether or not alcohol causes harm. When it comes to breastfeeding, it's quite true that breast milk is best for babies, or at least better than formula milk in terms of protecting them against infections in the short term. But when it comes to the much-touted long-term benefits of breastfeeding, such as protection against obesity, diabetes or allergy, the research is less convincing. Certainly women who can't breastfeed for whatever reason, and who live in countries with a decent standard of health care, shouldn't waste too much time worrying that they are causing long-term damage to their baby's health. 'Overblown' However, what alarmed me the most was the realisation that much of what women are told about the risks of medical interventions during labour - things like induction, epidural anaesthesia and undergoing a c-section - are overblown. At the same time, statistics about the odds of needing medical assistance or on complications like tearing during a vaginal birth are frequently not talked about. I believe that access to this kind of information could have a big influence on women's expectations of labour and on some of the decisions they make when planning for the birth of their child. I also think it could help women to come to terms with things if labour doesn't go according to plan and they need additional help getting their baby out. Having a baby can be one of the greatest joys that life bestows. However, it is also hard work and new parents can do without the unnecessary guilt, anxiety and doubt that misleading pregnancy advice brings. It is also a time of great wonder and through my research I have learned things about my own children that will never cease to amaze me. I believe it's time to push aside the scaremongering and allow parents the freedom to enjoy this precious period of their lives.",

But after a meeting with investigating magistrates in April, he admitted to having the account, which contained about 600,000 euros (£509,000; $770,000).

            "input": "By Paul HeaneyBBC News The Council for Wales of Voluntary Youth Services said about 30% of the sector was not confident it would make it past the current financial year. It argued councils should divert more money - such as cash received from housing developments - into the sector. The Welsh Local Government Association said it was up to councils consider what is best for their area. The Welsh Government has commissioned a review of youth services in Wales, after a report last year warned of an \"alarming decline\", with more than 100 youth groups closing over four years. The Council for Wales of Voluntary Youth Services represents many groups in the sector. Chief executive, Paul Glaze, said there was a risk many would not survive before long-term plans to improve youth provision were put in place. \"I'm sorry to say that really could be the case - many will certainly be struggling and some won't survive at all,\" he said. \"If they're not around in the next six to 12 months, for example, how realisable are those [plans]? \"Equally, community development projects where new buildings are being constructed, there are ways we can work with the private sector in relation to collaborating with them to see the benefits of youth work. 'Nothing to do' \"So there's I think there's definitely potential there in terms of possible solutions.\" Iestyn, 14, attended youth sessions at Perthcelyn Community Centre, in Rhondda Cynon Taff, before it was closed in February. \"When it closed we literally had nothing to do, we're just sat on the steps of our houses doing nothing,\" he said. Ieuan, 15, raised concerns other young people will get bored and resort to anti-social behaviour. \"They either go to mountains and start fires or get into trouble with the police - I'd rather go to the youth [sessions], meet up with friends, talk to people,\" he said. The charity Bryncynon Strategy ran the sessions but said it was not stopped because of local council cuts but because it felt being open for just a few hours a week was not a \"quality service\". Bev Garside, who was in charge of the charity at the time, said: \"To rely on pop-up sessions which only last a couple of hours isn't doing what youth work is supposed to do. \"Youth work is a lot more than just a few activities to distract young people - this is about engaging with young people and dealing with the sometimes very complex issues that they have.\" The sessions were partly paid for by funding from the local Communities First group, part of the Wales-wide anti-poverty scheme which will end next year. Rhondda Cynon Taf council said it was \"working hard to find other ways to provide youth services\". Despite concerns, some youth groups in Wales are actually expanding. Cwmbran Centre for Young People, Torfaen, set itself up to provide alternative learning and later developed a social enterprise arm, with young people gaining experience offering services to the community, while generating money for the centre. Having several income streams means other important services - like counselling, cooking classes and food banks - all have a secure future there. Centre manager Leigh Rowland said: \"It might be difficult to small organisations to take on our business model, due to lack of resources, but it can be done. \"It does take a long time and a lot of driven people.\"",

            "input": "By Dr David RobertsKing's College, London In Syria alone, the Great Mosque and the Citadel in Aleppo, the castle of every child's imagination at Crac des Chevaliers, and the ancient city of Bosra have been damaged or destroyed. Arguably Syria's most impressive and arresting site, the sprawling ruins at Palmyra (Tadmur to Syrians), is now under Islamic State control and many fear the worst. Having visited Palmyra and these other sites while studying Arabic at Damascus University back in 2007, I am far from alone in feeling that something truly terrible is happening. That these symbols from a bygone era might be destroyed by modern-day barbarian forces when they have survived for hundreds or even thousands of years seems somehow deeply offensive and wrong. IS threat to 'Venice of the Sands' Your memories of Palmyra Saving history from the jihadists Potent symbols Nevertheless, while I feel an acute sadness at the loss of these sites, I understand those who may feel a certain sense of unease at the outpouring of grief and anguish over their desecration. From this perspective, Palmyra is, after all, a collection of stone; albeit stone exquisitely carved and impressively presented, imbued with huge historical import. And compared to the staggering loss of life and widespread humanitarian disaster afflicting the Syrian people, bemoaning the loss of a historic tourist site seems crass. But there are cogent arguments, of course, suggesting that sites like Palmyra are far more significant than that. Important cultural sites are often pointed to as focal points that can be used to (re)unify a people. Sites can act as potent symbols of a united past that may cross ethnic, tribal, linguistic, or cultural lines. In essence, their importance can be seen and used as a low common denominator to promote reconciliation in a post-conflict environment. Distasteful? Most famously, the reconstruction of the old bridge in Mostar in Bosnia-Hercegovina acted as a focal point of wider metaphorical bridge-building between Serbs, Bosniaks (Muslims) and Croats after the civil war in the 1990s when the bridge was demolished. In Syria, too, there have already been tentative attempts towards this kind of a goal, with meetings between regime and opposition officials nominally in charge of antiquities. Similarly, the sheer barbarism of IS, exemplified in its brutality against people and against shared cultural monuments, could be a foil to coax more unity among the dispersed opposition groups and factions. Moreover, these kinds of sites are the heritage and birthright not just of this generation of Syrians so adversely affected by the conflict, but of all Syrians henceforth. As such, focusing on the protection of sites of great historical concern is just, it can be argued, given that the ultimate goal is to preserve and protect the essential character of a people for hundreds of years to come. Some may find it distasteful that many seem to be increasingly inured to the human toll in Syria, while interest is piqued by attacks on historical sites. Doubtless, they might prefer that some of the yardage given over to glossy pictures of Palmyra in its glory days be given over to reporting of the day-to-day devastation faced and experienced by ordinary people. On the same theme, one can hope and advocate for better, longer, more in-depth pieces or more funding for foreign reporters. Media storm A righteous lament this may be, but it is an ineffectual one. The numbing reality is that if these were the types of stories that were demanded, more news services would answer the call. It must also be remembered that there are rarely mutually exclusive choices here. The words written and arguments elucidated over the importance of saving cultural heritage sites are also a part of wider discussions and pressure to cobble together anything approaching a meaningful plan to intervene or otherwise halt the worst excesses of the violence in Syria. The takeover of Palmyra has generated a unique media storm, flinging the Syrian conflict back to wider consciousness. If that can be harnessed in the uphill struggle to galvanise a plan going forward, then no-one will complain. Whatever the intellectual or moral merits of focusing on such examples of historical desecration, the fact remains that, for me - and I doubt I'm alone - there remains a unique sadness in the loss of such sites. The abstract and horrifying numbers of deaths that the conflict has produced are not undermined or further ignored, as it were, by the focus on the fate of the likes of Palmyra. The loss of Syria's cultural heritage represents the loss of far more than some tourist attractions, but the loss of connection between multiple generations. As with all things, politics is but the art of the possible. So leveraging the fate of these magnificent and important monuments in the wider hope of incrementally building a pressure to bear on the powers that be is a just and vital thing.",

But the minister for civil society added that youth unemployment had risen when Labour was in power. More than 300 youngsters aged 11 to 18 crowded into the Commons chamber for the Youth Parliament. It is the third year in a row the event has been held in the chamber - the only time it is opened to non-MPs. The young people voted for a motion to \"radically\" overhaul the national curriculum to include better sex education and lessons about cultural awareness, community cohesion and personal financial management. That motion - which will now form the basis of a national campaign in 2014 - only related to the Youth Parliament in England. In a separate ballot covering the whole of the UK, the MYPs voted to extend the right to vote in all public elections to 16- and 17-year-olds. In a lively, day-long session - punctuated by laughter and cheers as MYPs from different parts of the UK were called to speak - the young people also debated youth unemployment, careers advice and online bullying. Student Scott Lamond said: \"Facebook, Twitter and the notorious ask.fm - these are all things we have heard of in the news and these are now weapons of bullying. \"It used to be that young people could go home to a safe haven, now you can be accessed by bullies wherever you are in the world.\" Faraz Hanif, from east London, said: \"Bullying is a problem because the education system is currently lacking. I think the problem is that society has created the image of the perfect man and the perfect woman and if you do not fit in that image then you are looked down upon by society. \"Teachers need to start teaching students how to grow their self-esteem because that is the problem at the moment.\" Perdita Blinkhorn, who represents young people in Medway, Kent, said schools needed to do more than say they had a zero-tolerance approach to bullying. MYPs also called for the government to change the national curriculum so that all students were offered at least one week's work experience in a job of their choice. Ben Rowden, from Middlesbrough, said he \"didn't fancy making tea and coffee for a whole week\". But Stacey Atim Uma, from Wolverhampton, said many students needed to \"pull their socks up\" and go and find work experience for themselves. Nick Hurd said he agreed with the MYPs who said the young were not being properly trained for the world of work. The 50-year-old minister said the number of young jobless was a \"source of national shame\" but added: \"Before anyone starts to make too many political points about this: youth unemployment rose 40% under the last government during good times.\" He said low voting levels by young people were a source of concern: \"Because what I'm very clear about is that we cannot let the politics of this country and this place be dominated by the politics and priorities of old people. And if we're not careful, there's a real danger that we will.\" He pledged to champion the concerns raised by the UKYP at next week's Cabinet meeting, telling them: \"It is enormously important that we create the space for young people not just to be heard, and I think today has been really important in reinforcing that - the issues you raise are massive.\" This year's UK Youth Parliament has a record mandate of almost half a million votes. Opening the day's proceedings, Commons Speaker John Bercow said: \"The British Youth Council state that this is a record turnout, very specifically, it is a dramatic improvement on the turnout of 253,000 last year - almost a doubling of the level of interest.\" Shadow Commons leader Angela Eagle said the turnout proved young people were very much politically engaged and she criticised comedian and actor Russell Brand for remaining on the sidelines. She said: \"I was dismayed to see Russell Brand being interviewed a few weeks ago, complaining about how our political system was failing, but then admitting that he didn't vote and he didn't plan to. \"You can't change anything by sitting on the sidelines; you have to be part of the process.\"",

High blood pressure increases the risk of conditions such as heart disease, kidney failure and stroke. The charity said people needed more support to control their condition. People with diabetes are normally told to keep their blood pressure below 130/80, slightly lower than the target for the rest of the population. For someone without diabetes, blood pressure should be no higher than 140/85 mmHg. Ideally, we should all have a blood pressure below 120/80. 'Extremely worrying' Those at risk of exceeding the target can be given medication as well as support in improving diet and losing weight to get their levels down. But the figures - based on the National Diabetes Audit, which covers nine in 10 people diagnosed with the condition in England - showed that just 50.7% of patients had control of their blood pressure. The proportion was almost exactly the same as the previous year. It means that if the figure was replicated across the UK, 1.4 million out of the 2.9 million people with the condition would be at risk. Diabetes UK chief executive Barbara Young said: \"It is extremely worrying. \"People with diabetes need to be aware that high blood pressure can have a hugely damaging effect on their health. \"But instead we are in danger of high blood pressure becoming the norm in people with the condition. \"This is one of the reasons they are experiencing record rates of stroke and kidney failure and are dying years younger than the rest of the population.\" A Department of Health spokesman said it was vital for health professionals to ensure diabetic patients with high blood pressure got all the health checks recommended by the National Institute for Clinical Excellence (Nice).

Kidnap While describing how she was taken from her school in Chibok town, she laughed, something Mr Nkeki says he found very out of place. \"After they were taken from the school,\" he tells me, \"they were put in one place as a large group but after a few weeks they were taken further into the Sambisa Forest. There, some of the larger girls were forced to marry the militants, but at that time she was not given up for marriage because she was seen as a small girl.\" She was terrified at the thought of being forced to marry someone she did not know or love but she was also relieved that she had been spared. She spoke of the many military airstrikes on the Boko Haram fighters which meant the group had to move around often to avoid detection. The girls were then split into smaller groups and moved to different locations. 'Marriage' She was in a group of about six girls, and they were taken to a big building surrounded by a large fence without an entrance. \"They had to climb over with a ladder to get in but once in they had no way of getting out again,\" Mr Nkeki said. \"By this time, the girls had been mixed up with other girls who had been captured. They could not understand each other because they all spoke different languages.\" She said that after about six months in the building, her worst fears came true when she was forced to marry one of the Boko Haram militants. The man told her that he had also been abducted from the town of Mubi and fored to become a fighter. The building didn't have any food in it apart from a large bag of maize which they soaked in water and then ate raw. Later they found a large stone which they used to grind the maize and for vegetables, they opted for leaves from the trees. Prayers Soon afterwards, the men started going out to raid other villages for food, cooking utensils and household items. She told Mr Nkeki that one day the group heard a loud blast outside. It was an explosion that made a huge hole in the fence and some of the girls saw a chance to escape and ran into the thick forest nearby. This was not a good move because many Boko Haram militants were camped there and many of those who ran away were eventually caught. Now married to one of the militants, she said she could not escape. She said she feared she would never see her mother again and whenever she was alone she would spend up to an hour on her knees, praying that she would be rescued. Although she told her captors that she had accepted their religion, inwardly she held on to her Christian faith. She knew what could happen to her if she did otherwise, as she had witnessed the gruesome killing of another girl for refusing to convert to Islam. The militants buried her waist-deep in the ground and the other captives were made to stone her to death. \"Boko Haram drove them to another part of Sambisa Forest,\" continues Mr Nkeki. \"The girl lived with her husband and he found grass to make a thatched shelter for them in the forest. Now there were only three Chibok girls left in the group because the other three were lost, possibly killed in military attacks. She said that in that area there were many groups of militant fighters and large numbers of women and children with them. Escape There were more airstrikes and many of the Boko Haram fighters were killed so her husband said he was no longer willing to continue fighting. By this time she had had a baby. That's when she and her husband decided to escape. She had gained trust in him, believed he wasn't like the other Boko Haram members and she became confident enough to leave with him. They walked for two days before arriving in a village called Bali. This was their first contact with the outside world, free from Boko Haram control. The villagers there were mostly women and children and her husband, who was the only young man around, looked out of place. He became afraid of being caught so he decided to go and hide in the bush. They stayed in the area for two to three weeks until some vigilantes arrived and asked her if there were any people who had just arrived in the village. She told them she was among the girls taken from Chibok. She also told them where her husband was hiding, so they took them and the baby to her home and she could finally see her family again. \"Mum, is this really you?\" she cried as she was reunited with her mother. Nineteen other parents did not live to see if their own girls would also be freed, some died in Boko Haram attacks and others from suspected stress-related complications. The girl is believed to now be undergoing rehabilitation and debriefing sessions with intelligence agencies to help provide them with information. She has asked them not to harm her husband, as she considers him a good man. Military spokesman General Rabe Abubakar said she was being well looked after. \"Nobody is hiding anybody, we have to safeguard her and give her all the necessary security to recuperate well. As soon as everything is sorted out, she will be made accessible,\" he told the Associated Press. Since being rescued, the girl has had little access to the outside world, so right now she might not have the freedom she anticipated but after two years in the hands of Boko Haram, it is freedom nonetheless.

A second inmate Thomas Moffett, 51, from Blackburn, who also disappeared, has been arrested on suspicion of being unlawfully at large. The government said the system would be tightened up within the next month. 'Too lax' Justice Secretary Chris Grayling said changes had been due to be introduced on 1 October but would now be put in place sooner. \"I have to say that less than one per cent of people who go into open prisons abscond, but we are in the middle of tightening up the system,\" he said. \"There have been a number of instances in recent months that I find unacceptable and in future prisoners should not expect to find the same system that's perhaps been there for the last, well many, many years.\" He said he now intended to put a stop to prisoners who have absconded returning to open conditions as part of the changes. Mr Grayling said he was also going to bring in tighter risk assessments for those who have committed violent offences, tagging for everyone released on temporary licence and \"crucially as in this case an end to town leave\". He said: \"If people are coming out on temporary licence it should be to a purposeful activity; it should not be to wander around town all day.\" Prisons minister Jeremy Wright also said this would be looked at \"as a matter of urgency\". \"I am not prepared to see public safety compromised,\" he said. \"The system for allowing prisoners out on temporary licence has been too lax up till now and we are making major changes to address this.\" Pickering was jailed for life in 1991 after killing a man in Oldham. He last absconded in December 2009 when he was let out on day release from HMP Kirkham to take part in a Prison Service project in which prisoners emptied bins for Manchester City Council. In that case he handed himself in four days later in Motherwell, Scotland. Pickering also previously escaped from HMP Manchester (then called Strangeways) before he went on to stab a man to death in Oldham in 1990. He was given a life sentence and ordered to serve a minimum of 18 years. Merseyside Police said both men left the Category C prison in Maghull at about 09:00 BST on Saturday on day release and had been due back at 16:30 BST. The disappearances come weeks after Michael Wheatley, 55, known as the \"Skull Cracker\" was charged with carrying out an armed robbery after allegedly going on the run from an open prison in Kent. 'Failed the public' Peter McParlin, chairman of the Prison Officers Association, said the system was under \"immense pressure\". \"We have overcrowding in the prison estate, people are being put into open conditions who are unsuitable for open conditions. Twenty prisons have closed in the last three years and prison staff numbers have reduced by 6000 since 2010. \"And it's clear to me that the tick-box mentality that goes into transferring prisoners to open conditions has failed the public.\" Shadow justice secretary Sadiq Khan expressed concern that public safety was being put at risk through the release of the wrong prisoners. \"This further incident, coming only a matter of weeks after the Michael Wheatley fiasco, will cause the public huge concern,\" he said. Conservative backbencher Philip Davies, the MP for Shipley, said: \"It is an absolute scandal in the prison system. How on earth people like this can ever be given temporary release from prison on licence is beyond me.\"",

            "input": "By Andrew BomfordBroadcasting House BBC Radio 4 This week I accompanied British author Derek Niemann to a meeting in London, where he talked to a Jewish audience about his grandfather, an SS officer in the concentration camps. It came as the most profound shock to Derek, who writes gentle books about nature, to discover a family secret which had been hidden from him for more than 50 years. He accompanied his wife Sarah to a conference in Berlin and decided to try to visit the house where his father had grown up during the war, in order to take some photos. He looked up the address online. \"Up came a sheet which said SS-Hauptsturmführer Karl Niemann… crimes against humanity… use of slave labour,\" recounted Derek. \"I can remember falling back in my chair, going next door, and saying to Sarah - I've just found my grandfather.\" Sarah said: \"I said, what do you mean you've just found your grandfather? And he explained. I can remember the look of complete and utter shock on his face.\" This was the moment which took Derek's life on a complete turn. \"I'm a nature writer. I write about bees and butterflies. I don't write about Nazis,\" he said. It was all about to change. Years of research, delving through archives, visits to Germany and difficult conversations with family members, produced the complex story of an ordinary man, captured vividly in Derek's book A Nazi in the Family. A pen-pusher, is how Derek's father Rudi described him - but it turned out that he rose to the equivalent rank of an SS captain and organised slave labour in the concentration camps on a colossal scale. Derek and Sarah were aided in their quest by one of Karl's hobbies - he was a keen photographer. They discovered a treasure trove of about 500 old negatives which had been left in the house in Berlin which he abandoned in haste towards the end of the war. Incredibly the negatives had been saved by the Jewish family who were given the house in war reparations. They reveal the intimate minutiae of a loving SS family, and a man who led a contradictory double life. He travelled to all the concentration camps, doing the financial books and running an SS commercial enterprise producing furniture and war supplies - all made by slave labour. But in the evening he came home, tended the garden and helped raise four children. His oldest son, Dieter, was killed in the closing days of the war, fighting with the Panzer tank division. Skeletal men in striped uniforms even visited his house to do odd jobs. His wife Minna gave them food, although she'd been told not to do so. Karl's bookwork even seemed to lament the financial challenges of running a business which kept killing its workers and the unfortunate need to order coffins for them. \"He was a bit of a failed mediocrity, my grandfather,\" said Derek, \"He'd been sacked from his job. He felt disappointed in life. And I think the prospect of wearing this glamorous uniform, of being a somebody appealed to him. \"He felt important. He got to the point where a chauffeur would turn up and take him to work. He was obeyed. He was a man of power. I think he liked it.\" This week, Derek gave a talk about his grandfather to a Jewish audience in north-west London. He was invited there by the Jewish service organisation B'nai B'rith. The BBC has been asked not to reveal the location. He told his audience, many of whom were descendants of concentration camp victims, about one particularly shocking childhood memory his father recounted, even though he was suffering from dementia. \"He could remember the family staying in the SS barracks [at Dachau concentration camp] and his parents were at the window looking out at a low building with smoke rising from a chimney. \"His mother said to her husband - 'You know what they're doing there?'.\" \"And his father answered - 'No'.\" \"His mother said - 'They're burning the Jews. They're killing them, and then burning the bodies'.\" \"My grandfather then said - 'No, they wouldn't do that'.\" \"My grandmother said - 'Yes they would. Can't you smell the flesh?'.\" During his research, Derek questioned Holocaust historians closely about his grandfather's refusal to admit knowledge of mass murder. \"I said to them - 'is it possible that my grandfather did not know what was going on? Is it possible that he could go to camps and see skeletal figures, see beatings, see people being killed and not know what was going on?'.\" \"And they said - 'it is impossible'.\" Derek was asked by a member of the audience if the denazification process after the end of the war was effective? Derek told them he didn't think it had any effect at all. \"My grandfather, in common with other SS officers, went through a very intensive brainwashing exercise. If you look at about 300 Nazi criminals who were in Landsberg Prison awaiting the death sentence, not one of them - not one - showed contrition for what they had done. \"They would very happily find religion. They would happily find priests who would absolve them of their sins, but they would not show any contrition whatsoever. They were so brainwashed.\" Karl was interned in prison camps for about three years after the end of the war, and was sent to the denazification commission and charged with war crimes and crimes against humanity. But he was lucky to be found guilty of being only the lowest grade of offender - that of a Nazi follower - largely because the most incriminating evidence against him had been sent to the War Crimes Trials in Nuremberg to convict his immediate boss, who was executed. The Jewish audience were visibly moved by what they heard. \"I think it is very shocking to hear that none of them showed contrition,\" said one woman. \"It was like a mirror,\" said a man, \"He was describing one side of the mirror - the German side. And I was looking at it from the other side, because my grandfather was in Dachau.\" \"The banality of evil is an expression we've all heard before,\" another man said, \"But it is an exact example of that, isn't it? An ordinary man, doing extraordinary things - extraordinarily wicked things.\" Another audience member, Noemie Lopian, translated a book her father wrote called The Long Night about his four years in concentration camps. \"At the end of the day we are all, in inverted commas, ordinary human beings,\" she said, \"And we all have a choice. We all have the ability to do evil.\" Hear Andrew Bomford's full report on Radio 4's Broadcasting House programme on Sunday 28 January at 09:00 GMT and then on iPlayer afterwards.",

He added: \"And I think I am drawn to characters who are very aware of it.\" Miranda shot to fame in 2015 when Hamilton became a Broadway smash. The show uses hip-hop to tell the story of Alexander Hamilton, one of the founding fathers of the United States, who died in a duel in 1804. The character raps in the show: \"I imagine death so much it feels more like a memory/When is it gonna get me?\" Desert Island Discs host Lauren Laverne asked whether his idols - such as Hamilton, Rent writer Jonathan Larson, who died at the age of 35, and late Cabaret choreographer and director Bob Fosse - were connected because their stories all contain \"the ticking clock\". 'Six months of grey' Miranda replied: \"I think you're marked by your awareness of it and how much you let it affect your day-to-day. \"Part of it is growing up in New York. You're kind of always a little on alert. And I also experienced death at a young age.\" Speaking about the death of his kindergarten friend, he said: \"It's one of those terrible stories where each of the parents thought she was with someone else, and she drowned in the lake behind their home. \"I have this memory of nursery school of just six months of grey - of my friend, who used to go to this class, didn't go any more.

            "input": "By Dharshini DavidGlobal trade correspondent The grants, subsidies and loans deployed to shield the British economy from the shock of lockdown didn't manage to preserve all jobs. However, they ensured that lay-offs in the first couple of months of lockdown were in the thousands, rather than millions. The real test for Rishi Sunak starts now. As one of his predecessors remarked, everyone loves the chancellor when he's splashing the cash, and those schemes have cost tens of billions - in total he's staring at a £300bn deficit this year. With the furlough scheme set to be wound down, it's clear crippling job losses in some sectors are under way. This emergency mini-Budget on Wednesday will attempt to help minimise the pain as the economy convalesces by \"flattening the curve\" - this time of job losses - and to prevent the kind of lingering mass joblessness last seen when the chancellor was a toddler, that risks blighting millions of lives. Here are five areas to bear in mind - we already know some of what he'll look at, but there's more to come. 1. Money for training At present, some economists say unemployment could triple to over four million this year. Rishi Sunak is expected to detail the beefing up of job centres, with more work coaches and advisers - underscoring that the government too is getting ready for an onslaught of losses. The rise in joblessness won't be fleeting; the first advisers won't be in place until October. There's more money for careers advice too, and work placements. Learning new skills will be vital - particularly for the youngest workers and lowest paid who've been particularly badly hit. 2. Saving jobs Rishi Sunak has talked of preserving jobs where possible, and that may mean taking different approaches with different industries. A skilled workforce isn't enough; you need the demand for their talents - in other words, flourishing businesses. And some of those are suffering simply because they've not been able to open yet. The struggling arts and heritage sector has been promised a £1.6bn bespoke package of loans and grants. That's a shift away from the Treasury's previous reluctance to provide tailored help - and may raise hopes elsewhere. But will those industries that don't have the glamour of showbiz, with high-profile spokespeople, be as lucky? 3. Boosting new sectors The package for the arts sector may signal that the chancellor remains reluctant to extend the furlough scheme, even for struggling sectors. Some sectors - travel, for example - may fail to ever fully recover in the absence of a vaccine. Rather than prop them up, some argue it would be better to divert resources to supporting growing industries. Rishi Sunak is expected to earmark some cash to support green jobs and to promote environmentally friendly home improvements. Incentives for other \"new\" industries may also feature. 4. Tax cuts? Even the future of businesses who have reopened may not be secure, unless customers feel safe coming back, not just physically, but financially. Rishi Sunak has stopped short of a haircut photo opportunity, but he's set the tone with visits to shops, markets and even the pub, despite being teetotal. And now he may be after our bank accounts. A record amount of money was stashed away in May as the majority of the population saw their incomes untroubled, but their spending reduced. An emergency short-term VAT cut of say, 2% or 3%, targeted at perhaps the hospitality industry may tempt us to part with some cash. A similar cut was tried during the financial crisis but its impact was limited. Other ideas that have been touted include state-issued vouchers to spend on holidays, or changes to National Insurance contributions. All would bear a cost of billions. 5. The Budget will remain the main event The next annual Budget is due in the autumn, which gives the chancellor time to mull over how the economy is progressing and introduce more measures, alongside the usual forecasts. We may, however, not have to wait that long for rumoured temporary changes to stamp duty. Some now expect that measure, which would boost the fortunes of homebuyers and housebuilders, to come up this Wednesday. At that Budget, we may hear more about how he will pay for all this. At present, the government is able to borrow cheaply via bonds on the financial markets, but there are limits. Mr Sunak may have to find other ways of footing the bill, such as pausing the \"triple lock\" formula used to calculate pension rises, for example. That won't be popular. Five months into the job, Mr Sunak is enjoying popularity ratings far in excess of that of his Cabinet colleagues, thanks to his handling of the economic crisis so far. Hanging on to that pole position over the challenging months - or even years - ahead will be no picnic.",

            "input": "By Douglas FraserBusiness and economy editor, Scotland It is due to an over-estimate made two years ago in the amount Scots pay in income tax. Holyrood ministers have to budget on the forecasts given to them by the independent Scottish Fiscal Commission. The real figures are later reconciled with cuts, or potentially additions, to the block grant. Why was there an overestimate? In 2017 the Scottish government's income tax powers were new, and there was limited detail on previous tax years to show how much had been paid by Scots. The Fiscal Commission drew on data from the Office for Budget Responsibility and made its own assumptions about Scottish tax. Its estimate, in late 2017, of more than £12bn from income tax for 2018-19 was significantly higher than the amount then collected. The Commission later revised its figure, and in February this year, it estimated the adjustment required to reconcile the changes would reach £555m. The final out-turn figure was published on Wednesday by HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC), and came to £11.56bn, leaving a reconciliation to be applied to the 2020-21 budget of £301m. The HMRC figures also showed that Scottish income tax revenue - which does not include dividend or savings income - grew by 5.9% in Scotland during the 2018-19 financial year. The equivalent non-savings, non-dividend income tax figure for the UK saw 4.2% growth. That was the year when the then finance secretary, Derek Mackay, introduced a major shake-up of tax bands, using the newly devolved powers to introduce a five-band income tax system. That tilted the tax bill towards those on higher incomes, while raising each rate of existing tax band by 1 pence per pound. Following the reconciliation, it is now clear that raised an additional £119m - a relatively small increase when set against a lot of reform, and under political fire. Conservative critics argued that the SNP administration was making Scotland the highest taxed part of the UK. Mr Mackay responded that the \"starter rate\" of tax also made it the lowest taxed for a small numbers of lower earners. HMRC data show the amount raised from high earners in Scotland during 2018-19 was a much lower share of the total than at UK level, mostly because a smaller share of Scots are very high earners. Only 15,000 Scots were paying 46% tax on income of more than £150,000, and they contributed 17.4% of the total. In tax figures for the rest of the UK, 332,000 tax payers in the top band raised 31% of the total. The number paying \"higher rate\" tax, on earnings above £43,430, accounted for 41% of Scottish earnings, while it was 35% across the rest of the UK. The number of Scots in that tax bracket rose from 308,000 to 322,000 earners, out of a total 2,524,000 income tax payers in Scotland. A spokesperson for the Scottish government said: \"The reconciliation is a normal annual part of the fiscal framework, where differences between forecast and outturn are reconciled once outturn figures are published. \"This figure is not a useful indicator of how Scottish Income Tax performed in 2018-19 as receipts grew by £640m between 2017-18 and 2018-19\". But there was an attack from Jackie Baillie, deputy leader of Scottish Labour, who said that the £309m deduction represented \"a black hole\" in ministers' plans, adding in the expected deduction in block grant that will be required for 2019-20. Kate Forbes, the finance secretary, has said that she planned around 24 September to publish an autumn budget update, which should show how spending has changed over recent months, most of that due to measures to deal with the pandemic.",

Roughly 2,104 of Glyndwr's 8,400 students are from outside the EU. Glyndwr said they were in continued dialogue with the commission. Deficit According to reports, fees paid by non-EU overseas students account for around a third of the institution's revenue. The institution, which like most universities is a charity, has filed a serious incident report with the Charity Commission. A spokesman for the commission said: \"Filing a serious incident report is important because it ensures we can provide assistance at the earliest opportunity, targeting our resources and helping to put charities back on a secure footing where necessary.\" In 2013-14, 1,280 serious incidents were reported by charities to the commission, but it is not clear how many universities have raised similar concerns about their finances. Glyndwr recorded a deficit of almost £4m in 2012-13, nearly a tenth of its turnover. In March this year, it emerged the university was considering plans to make nearly one in 10 of its staff redundant. The revelation triggered a vote of no confidence in vice-chancellor Michael Scott by the University and College Union, which held him \"directly responsible for the current financial circumstances\". Fraud Earlier this year, the Home Office suspended English language tests run by a major provider, ETS, which are needed to get a UK student visa, following a BBC Panorama investigation into systematic fraud in the system. Officers uncovered evidence of \"serious concern\" at some campuses, and the UK government downgraded Glyndwr University from its status as a \"highly-trusted sponsor\" of student visas. The university said its trustees had filed a report in compliance with their duties as charity trustees. In a statement, they said: \"The trustees are in continued dialogue with the commission, and other key stakeholders, to keep them appraised of matters and the steps being taken by the university to address the impact caused by the continued suspension of the Highly Trusted Status licence.\" A spokesperson for the Higher Education Funding Council for Wales said they were in ongoing dialogue with Glyndŵr University over its financial recovery plan, adding: \"We will also be kept apprised of the Charity Commission's enquiries, as appropriate.\"",

She said his approach would \"undermine\" and \"pollute\" existing party processes. Mr Watson stood by his request, saying \"opacity and delay\" by the party had led to \"a complete loss of trust\". The Labour Party has been dealing with complaints of anti-Semitism over the last two years. Mr Watson's original intervention came after nine MPs quit the Labour Party last month citing the party's failure to tackle anti-Semitism as one of the reasons. Mr Watson emailed all Labour MPs and peers telling them he would be \"logging and monitoring\" complaints of anti-Semitic abuse and bullying. 'No transparency' Ms Formby then wrote to him, copying in all Labour parliamentarians. She told him: \"It is absolutely inappropriate for you to set up a vague parallel complaints monitoring system.\" Ms Formby said that he and the party had \"very strict responsibilities\" to safeguard members' data under GPDR and data protection laws and asked for complaints not to be sent to Mr Watson \"or any unauthorised individual\". She added: \"Furthermore, you will undermine the work that my staff and I are doing and will confuse and pollute the existing formal process, compromising it and slowing it down.\" Mr Watson responded: \"The constant concern of those complaining about anti-Semitism in our party is that there is no transparency about the process. \"Too often those who have suffered anti-Semitic abuse have not heard anything about the outcome of their complaint. \"It is my responsibility as deputy leader of the Labour Party to ensure people have confidence in our complaints system and our ability to deal transparently with the scourge of anti-Semitism. \"I will continue to do everything I can to achieve that.\" Catherine McKinnell, Labour MP for Newcastle upon Tyne, told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: \"I, for one, have hugely welcomed Tom's intervention in this.\" She said the current complaints system had a \"huge amount of trust to rebuild\", and that too many complaints \"just seem to disappear\". \"Nobody knows what the outcome of the complaint has been, nobody knows what the process has been,\" Ms McKinnell said, adding: \"The figures don't match up. So I think there does need to be some oversight.\" Jewish members 'distressed' It comes as members in Diane Abbott's Hackney North constituency issued a motion against MPs who \"slander the party\" by claiming it is \"institutionally anti-Semitic\".

She tweeted: \"What on earth is going on... that such a motion can be put forward?\" Sheffield Hallam members backed a similar motion and called for the reinstatement of MP Chris Williamson, who was suspended by the party last week for saying Labour had \"given too much ground\" in the face of criticism over anti-Semitism. Brent councillor Neil Nerva, a member of the Jewish Labour Movement, said colleagues at the meeting in Hackney North had said shadow home secretary Ms Abbott was present. He said Jewish members were \"distressed\" that the MP did not comment on the motion being voted on, adding: \"Now to me, that is becoming a bystander.

Announcing the appointment outside BBC Broadcasting House, BBC Trust Chairman Lord Patten said: \"George is a creative leader for a creative organisation.\" The BBC Trust said Mr Entwistle would be paid an annual salary of £450,000. It is a smaller figure than the £671,000 earned by Mr Thompson, bearing out Lord Patten's repeated assertion that the next head of the BBC would have a smaller salary than their predecessor. 'Privilege' In his current role - where he is paid £285,000 - Mr Entwistle oversees the division responsible for commissioning, producing, scheduling and broadcasting all of the BBC's TV content. \"I'm delighted that the chairman and Trustees have decided I'm the right person for the job and I'm very excited about all that lies ahead,\" he said. \"Mark Thompson will be a tough act to follow but it's a privilege to be asked to lead the greatest broadcasting organisation in the world.\" Mr Entwistle - who will be celebrating his 50th birthday this weekend - was selected by a panel at the BBC Trust, the governing body of the BBC, led by chairman Lord Patten. Speaking at a news conference announcing the appointment, Lord Patten said the Trust had \"unanimously decided\" to hire Mr Entwistle. \"George had a lot of the attributes that we hoped a director general of the BBC would have,\" he said. \"At the heart of them is the ability to give leadership to a great creative organisation. \"While it's possible to do that if you haven't had a background in making programmes, there's greater credibility if you have, and he's got a great reputation as a cultural leader.\" Asked by the press whether the salary was higher than anticipated, Lord Patten said: \"It's higher than some of you guessed but I can't help it if you guessed wrong. \"It's actually less than anyone else in the sector... or what the heads of several newspapers are paid.\" 'Brilliant appointment' Culture Secretary Jeremy Hunt told the BBC's Media Show that Mr Enwistle faced two key challenges. \"The first is how you make sure that the BBC maintains its position as the gold standard for quality in British and global broadcasting, whilst managing the licence fee settlement. \"The second thing is coping with the technology revolution. By the time this director general ends his term of office, we will be in a totally different place as far as the broadcasting technology works, \"I think that's been one of Mark Thompson's major achievements - with innovations like the iPlayer, the BBC has been a leader in technology. But I think that's going to be a very, very big challenge.\" Mr Thompson, who was rumoured to have singled out Mr Entwistle as his preferred candidate, said it was a \"brilliant appointment\". \"George has shown himself to be an outstanding leader with an intuitive understanding of public sector broadcasting,\" he said. \"He has a formidable track record as a programme maker and in recent years has also shown his calibre as a leader. \"I wish him and the BBC every success in the years to come.\" Mr Thompson will stand down from his post after the Paralympics, having spent eight years in the role. He is the BBC's longest-serving director general since the 1970s. His tenure has seen the BBC suffer scandals including the Sachsgate affair, and controversy over the tone of the coverage of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee last month, in which Mr Entwistle also had a role. The corporation has also seen a series of budget cuts and staff redundancies in recent years. Yet Mr Thompson has also presided over successes including Strictly Come Dancing and Frozen Planet, and the launch of the BBC iPlayer. The new director general's first priority will be to prepare the BBC for the review of its Royal Charter. The current charter, which expires in 2016, sets out how the BBC should be funded, what it does and how it is managed.",

A statement from the council said the decision to honour the \"slain democracy activist\" passed unanimously. Russian politicians criticised the move, with one MP labelling it a \"dirty trick\". The decision was specifically targeted at \"the portion of Wisconsin Avenue in front of the Russian Embassy\", according to the Washington council's statement. Russia's Interfax news agency quoted the leader of the nationalist LDPR party, Vladimir Zhirinovsky, as saying US authorities \"specifically want to play dirty tricks in front of the Russian Embassy\". Another politician from the Communist Party, Dmitry Novikov, told the agency: \"The US authorities have long been absorbed in their own game of interfering in Russian internal affairs.\" Mr Nemtsov, a vocal critic of Russian President Vladimir Putin, was shot in February 2015 while walking home from a restaurant in Moscow. A small memorial near where he was killed has frequently been vandalised, or cleared away by street cleaners late at night. His daughter, Zhanna, travelled to Washington DC in early December to advocate for the name change. \"The current Russian political regime wants to eradicate the memory of my father, since it believes - correctly - that symbols are important and that they can potentially facilitate and inspire change,\" she told the council. She said her father was \"an open-minded patriot of Russia\" who deserved to be commemorated. \"For now, we cannot do it in Russia because of unprecedented resistance on the part of the Russian authorities. But we have a chance to do it here - and here, it will be very difficult to dismantle,\" she said. Five Chechen men were convicted over Boris Nemtsov's killing in mid-2017, but family and supporters of the slain politician believe the person who ordered the murder remains at large.

Gradual recovery Ms Forbes wants to be frank with people that there are difficult times ahead, saying that \"things are going to be really difficult\". She said: \"Business owners are facing acute hardship right now, we know the unemployment rate is likely to increase - we'll do everything we can to support business but it is going to be enormously challenging.\" And she said that even as the immediate crisis waned, \"things are not going to get much better\". She said: \"I think even with additional certainty for certain sectors being able to open, we're also starting to see more redundancies and more major businesses having to let people go. \"I think the impact is going to be with us for quite a long time. it's not just about getting through this acute few months, but actually figuring out how we support the economy for a much longer period of time. \"People talk about graphs, they talk about a V-shaped graph which means economic output plummeted during the crisis but will bounce back as we come out and get businesses trading again. \"But there's evidence now that it will be a more gradual recovery, which means economic output might not recover to the pre-crisis level until the start of 2023.\" Restoring confidence The Scottish government is moving out of lockdown \"carefully and cautiously\". But has the \"stay at home\" message been so effective that people will be wary about returning to workplaces and businesses? Ms Forbes said the economy has to be restarted \"at a pace the country is comfortable with\" with the best scientific evidence in mind. She said that while tourism businesses in rural areas will be keen to reopen, local residents may still be \"nervous about an influx of visitors\". She said: \"How do we give people confidence and hope that's based on truth, and honesty and evidence? \"There's no value in me glibly saying 'lets get the economy back up and running, firing on all cylinders as quickly as possible' if we don't take people with us. \"Because the customers won't go back to those shops, the markets wont return, people will not feel comfortable going back to work if that confidence is not based on fact.\" 'Disproportionate' impact There are concerns that the longer Scotland remains in lockdown, the worse the financial impact will be. As the easing of measures accelerates south of the border, is there a danger of Scotland being left behind? Asked if the fiscal impact could be more marked in Scotland, Ms Forbes said: \"It certainly could be worse for slightly longer than in England because you're right in saying that shops just now are able to reopen, the housing market is slightly ahead and some construction in England continued during the pandemic. \"So yes, there is a risk of the economic impact being very disproportionate. The risk with that, for me, in balancing a budget is that it's not just about the money in people's pockets as employees - it's great that the furlough scheme has been extended to cover the different reopening dates, but it will also have a profound impact on our budget as well. \"I think a lot of the impact will be a lot more easily quantified at the end, because equally you could argue that if customers in England are not confident that things reopened at the right time they haven't actually returned. \"So we know that some industries are already trading [in England] that aren't in Scotland, but ultimately if there is a more significant return of customers or of the market in Scotland, and businesses get back up and trading quicker when they're allowed to do so, actually it might even itself out.\" Social distancing People have become used to keeping apart - something Ms Forbes says will not be changing any time soon. \"Ultimately, until we have a vaccine the only way we have to deal with coronavirus is social distancing,\" she said. \"We're all going to have to adapt in the way we work, the way we spend time with one another, and the way we have fun - we're going to have to do that through social distancing.\" A key piece of this strategy is the distance itself - the 2m (6ft) rule. There have been calls from businesses and some politicians to relax this rule, with the World Health Organisation suggesting a 1m (3ft) distance which is currently in use in countries such as France. Ms Forbes said that while the matter remains under review, \"at the moment the evidence we are basing our decisions on is that 2m is significantly preferable to 1m\". She added: \"We need to make sure we are following the best evidence in order to save lives and reduce transmission, and that is what will give customers the confidence to return to the shops and the pubs.\" The role of government The response to the pandemic has seen unprecedented levels of state involvement in the lives of people in the UK, with the government now paying the wages of a quarter of the workforce. Ms Forbes said the response to the crisis had probably changed how she sees the role of government. She said: \"My view going forward is that there has to be some sort of national endeavour. Businesses and government should be working together far more closely than we have. \"There's been a bit of a culture where it's government does things to business and business grumbles and gets on with it - that has to change. \"There is no public sector without a thriving private sector. That private sector though has to look after its employees, and make sure they're not on fragile contracts. \"My thinking going forward is that I don't think we should be increasing the tax burden at a time like this at all, but I do think some of the expectations that government has of business need to be clearer in coming out of this pandemic. \"I keep hearing this point about doing thing differently, about how we want to take advantage of this moment to reposition the economy to make it a fairer society, but actually that's going to require quite significant levels of government intervention and a sense of national endeavour where everyone is playing their part.\" Radical changes Ms Forbes has only been finance secretary for a short time, but taking the reins at a pivotal moment means she can envisage radical changes to the economy in the coming years. She said: \"I hope in 10 years time there's people in my role just now discussing that the reason why Scotland is such a prosperous, thriving growing economy is because of decisions that were taken in the aftermath of a pandemic in 2020 to reposition our economy and to support the industries that will really grow and take us into the future.\" In particular, Ms Forbes wants to see a digital revolution making the most of new technology and artificial intelligence that could help solve the way \"economic output is unfairly distributed across Scotland\". She said: \"We are not making the most of how we use technology. We are a small country of 5 million people with a global market out there that means you can access that from the smallest island in Scotland in the same way as you can in the middle of London. I think we need to do far more on that.\" How do we get there? The finance secretary highlighted three key ways the government wants to help move to this radical future. The most \"obvious\" is investment, giving financial support to businesses to invest in new equipment. The second is education, with universities and colleges under \"extreme pressure\" and facing \"significant\" changes to their student base. Ms Forbes said: \"If we're going to be investing in universities to replace their lost grant funding we have choices about what we prioritise, and we're going to have to produce the skills and talent that can work in these businesses and support these industries.\" The third element of the finance secretary's plan is to help industries \"refocus\". \"The oil and gas industry is a pretty good example where we know we need to change, we need to transition,\" she said. \"If we're going to be significantly investing in those industries then we need to be clear about what the output is that we want, and it can't just be business as normal.\" Listen to more from Kate Forbes on the BBC's Podlitical podcast",

The 25-year-old triumphed in the women's skeleton on Friday. Royal Mail said it would not create any gold post boxes for the Winter Games as it did for London 2012. More than 43,000 people have signed an online petition calling for Royal Mail to paint a postbox gold for Yarnold. Hundreds of Twitter users, including double Olympic champion Dame Kelly Holmes, have used the hashtag #paintitgoldforlizzy. Yarnold has retweeted messages supporting the campaign, which has been led by her local newspaper, the Sevenoaks Chronicle. Her mother Judith said she hoped Royal Mail would bow to public demand, to inspire future generations of Britain's sportsmen and women. Mrs Yarnold, a teacher, said: \"This isn't about me or us, it's about recognising the achievements of the Olympians who have put in so much effort to gain their achievements. \"They put in an amazing amount of work to get where they are, and the public clearly want to recognise this by having gold postboxes.\" The red paint is still visible on the painted postbox. Bob Wicker, who runs West Kingsdown Fruit and Veg, said: \"The postbox has been painted, but it looks like someone has just put on an undercoat. \"It's a very wishy-washy coat of gold, and it looks like it has been done in the middle of the night.

The UK hosted the Games and our athletes performed extraordinarily well. \"Because of our status as the host nation, Royal Mail chose to mark the achievement of our athletes through gold postboxes as well as stamps. \"For the Winter Olympics 2014 Royal Mail will not be creating gold postboxes but we are exploring other ways of marking the achievements of our athletes, including creating a special postmark.\" A Kent Police spokeswoman said the repainted postbox had not been reported to the force. Meanwhile, West Kingsdown carpenter Terry Malone has made a gold postbox from wood, which residents are being encouraged to post letters into. \"It's only been here an hour and already it's had about 10 letters posted,\" Mr Malone said.

But he said the move would strengthen the church as a whole. About 170 people worship at services in Bangor's five churches each Sunday. Last year a Church in Wales review said 'radical plans to reform and modernise' were needed for the future. The Bishop of Bangor said a decline in the number of worshippers, and the need to save money, had prompted a review of how local church buildings were being used. Under the plans, Bangor Cathedral will be used as a \"parish\" church for congregations from St Mary's and St David's which are both within a mile-and-a-half (2.5 km) of the cathedral. \"We accept and recognises that these recommendations will bring sorrow and sadness to those people at the churches involved,\" the bishop said. \"But these people are being invited to come together to worship in the cathedral each Sunday and we will be stronger for being together.\" He said costs will be \"significantly reduced\" by closing the two churches, especially in insurance and running costs, and the changes will mean the the cathedral building - which costs £12,000 a year to heat and light - will be used better. \"My belief is that this will better position the church for the future to meet the needs of the community and the needs of the various ministries,\" he added. The report was put together by the Archdeacon of Bangor, the Venerable Paul Davies. It was the third report into the future of churches in Bangor since the 1960s and each had recommended closing the same buildings, he said. A legal process has to be undertaken before the changes can go ahead. Afterwards, steps will be taken to make ensure the congregations from the two closed churches will not \"drift\" away from the church. One idea is to buy a bus to transport people to the new place of worship. Parishioners will be asked how they would like to see the closed churches used.",

Scriptwriter Chris Chibnall said it will mark the show's \"final chapter\". \"We have one last story to tell featuring familiar faces and new characters,\" he said. \"I hope it's a compelling and emotional farewell to a world and show that means so much to me.\" After Broadchurch ends, Chibnall will be moving to replace Steven Moffat as the head writer and executive producer for BBC One's Doctor Who. ITV has not yet revealed who Hesmondhalgh and Higson will play but filming will begin this summer on the eight-part police drama series in Dorset. Other new members of the cast will include Mistresses star Sarah Parish and Murdered by My Boyfriend Bafta-winner Georgina Campbell. Higson, who wrote and appeared in the hugely successful comedy sketch series The Fast Show, has also featured in the ITV drama Jekyll and Hyde, which failed to hit the mark with critics or viewers. But, said Higson on Twitter, the lack of a second series of that show has allowed him to take on Broadchurch. \"The one good thing to come out of ITV not making another Jekyll and Hyde is that I have time to do other things, like acting in Broadchurch,\" he said. \"Really looking forward to joining the team.\" Hesmondhalgh is best known for formerly playing transgender character Hayley Cropper on long-running soap Coronation Street. She left the series in 2014 after a tear-jerker storyline, which saw Hayley die of cancer. Series stalwarts Jodie Whittaker and Andrew Buchan will return as Beth and Mark Latimer. Arthur Darvill will again be playing local vicar Paul Coates and Carolyn Pickles will reprise her role as newspaper editor Maggie Radcliffe, along with Adam Wilson as Ellie's son Tom. Broadchurch had audiences gripped when it launched in April 2013, with a peak audience of 8.9 million viewers. The drama about the death of an 11-year-old boy also won critical acclaim, along with Bafta and RTS awards.

            "input": "Options for students who do not get the grades they need include the university places Clearing scheme. What is clearing? Clearing is the way that universities and colleges fill any places they still have on their degree courses. If you are in a position to be flexible and have a reasonably good set of exam results, there is a good chance you will find a course. Clearing allows would-be undergraduates to see which courses still have places remaining. It runs between July and September every year. You can approach as many universities as you wish during clearing, so do not feel that you have to take the first offer. What should I do on A-level results day? Get up early! The sooner you find out your results, the sooner you can pursue alternative options if your grades have fallen short. You can log on to track - a service offered by university admissions service Ucas from 08:00 on results day. This will tell you whether your place at your chosen university has been confirmed. You could also go into your school or college on results day - that way you can get help and advice from your teachers. What happens if I do not get the grades I need for university? Don't panic, because there are plenty of options open to you. Your first-choice university might let you off if you have slipped a grade - it's worth ringing them as soon as possible to find out if they will still let you in. There's also the possibility that they may offer you a place on a similar, but slightly less popular course. If you do not have the grades for your first-choice university or course, you may be offered a place with your second choice. If you miss out on both your firm choice and your insurance choice and still want to go to university, you can try to get a place through clearing, which is offered by Ucas. However, most spare places fill up quickly, so you must act fast. How can I increase my chances of success in clearing? Preparation is key. To give yourself the best chance of securing an offer, research courses and universities that are of interest to you. Have your answers to hand for questions like: \"Why do you want to study on this course?\" and \"Why would you like to come here?\" Plan to get your results as early in the day as you can to give yourself a head start. Remember, universities and colleges will want to speak to you personally - not to your parents! How do I find out what courses are available and choose the best one for me? Official vacancy lists are published on the Ucas website from 00:01 BST on Thursday, 17 August, and in the Daily Telegraph. You do not have to stick to the subject choices that you made originally. There may be other areas that might suit you better on the basis of the grades you have. What if my results are better than I expected? Ucas operates a system called adjustment for those candidates who get better results than expected and want to try for a more competitive university. Candidates have a five-day window in which to show their application to universities. If you do not find a suitable place somewhere else through adjustment, you will remain accepted at your original choice. What about waiting until next year? You could consider taking a gap year and reapplying for degree courses this autumn to take up a place in 2017. A year out can be a chance to develop new skills which will all help when writing a personal statement or CV. Volunteer work, travelling abroad or a working for a year are all options to consider. In the longer term, it may be better to wait a year and go somewhere that is right for you, rather than make a hasty decision you might regret later. You can also ask your local further education college for information about other routes to degree-level qualifications, such as foundation degrees and diplomas. Can I challenge my results? If you think your grades are wrong, you can ask for a re-mark of your papers. But requests for re-marking can only be done through your school or college. This is another good reason to go along to your school or college on results day. Priority re-marks can be requested for those students with university places at stake. There is a fee for this service, which is reimbursed only if there is a grade change. The Joint Council for Qualifications has guidance on the post-results service. Could I break out and do something else altogether? Yes, this is always an option. University is not for everyone and many who do not get a degree go on to pursue highly successful and lucrative careers - for example, Sir Richard Branson, Lord Sugar, Kirstie Allsopp and Lady Brady. Some careers, such as accountancy, can be pursued with qualifications you study for while working. Apprenticeships are another possibility - vacancies are listed on the National Apprenticeships Service website. Sites such as Not Going to Uni might give you a few ideas. By not going to university, there is the added advantage of not accruing student debt. It is estimated the average student in England graduates with a debt of around £44,000 since tuition fees were raised to £9,000 a year in 2012. Recent research has also suggested that having to pay back student debt wipes out any graduate premium for most professions. However, many professions, such as teaching and law, do require a degree and you could find that some doors are closed to you later in life (or are much harder to open) if you do not have one. Where can I go for advice? The Ucas website has lots of advice about navigating clearing and adjustment. You can also follow Ucas on Twitter @ucas_online or on Facebook.com/ucasonline for up-to-date information. For information on your own progress you can also call the Ucas customer support centre on 0371 468 0468.

She said those firms not actually trying to fill a recruitment gap \"are trying to retain staff so they don't go elsewhere\". Cardiff is facing competition from London and Bristol among other cities. Ms Jones, a patents attorney and partner at UDL in Cardiff, said: \"When I talk to software companies about what their biggest challenge is, nine times out of 10 it's recruitment. \"These are very skilled positions, needing skilled graduates with the right coding and development skills.\" She said there was a lure of working in London and firms in south Wales were having to be creative in trying to entice people \"in a candidates' market\". Some were finding it difficult, even when offering £60,000 salaries. The Chancellor of the Exchequer has said fintech is the fastest growing sector in the UK. It covers a wide range of technology companies, from those involved in price comparison sites, to new ways of transferring, borrowing or managing money. Emma Williams, head of marketing at Credas in Penarth Marina, said: \"If you buy a financial product there's some sort of fintech involved. If you go for a mortgage or buy a house, you'll get exposed to some sort of technology that's up and coming.\" Cedas has been in business for about a year and has developed an app that uses facial recognition to check the validity of a person and their documents, for buying a house or getting work. Financial technology companies are often relatively small dynamic companies and, by their very nature, tend to be below the radar. For example, Active Quote employs 130 people in Cardiff and has helped 100,000 customers with products like health insurance. But most people have not heard of it because the firm works behind the scenes providing technology for well-known comparison sites. The team also started the online investment management venture Wealthify two years ago. Only 15 people work for it at the moment but a large investment from Aviva means it is planning rapid expansion. Chief executive Richard Theo said fintech was a \"real revolution taking off and we have a real hotspot of that in Wales\". While the technology means companies can employ fewer people, Mr Theo said the Welsh economy gains from people doing better jobs. \"It's the software guys, the marketing guys and the investment guys, it's not the menial work or the traditional call centre stuff, it's quality jobs,\" he added. 'Keen support' A report in 2015 from consultants EY described the UK as a global leader in fintech, employing 61,000 and generating more than £6.5bn. The latest FinTech 50 compiled by industry experts of innovative firms across Europe has 29 of them based in London, with Berlin another strongly performing city. As yet, there are no official figures for numbers working in fintech in Wales. But Economy Secretary Ken Skates is examining the sector in his first task and finish group and said the Welsh Government was \"keen\" to support and develop it. Mr Theo said Cardiff's challenges were probably no different from other cities but it could still do more. \"We've got a great academic infrastructure but we've got to do a bit of work to get them turning out the skills we need - more people with digital marketing expertise, more software engineers, the kind of dot-net skills that financial services like us actually need.\"",

He wore sunglasses and an Oslo taxi driver's uniform for the shift in June, only revealing his identity once he was recognised by his passengers. His exchanges with his passengers were captured on a hidden camera. The footage - made in collaboration with an advertising company - has been posted on the prime minister's Facebook page and made into a film which will be used as part of his campaign for re-election in September. \"It is important for me to hear what people really think,\" he told Norwegian media. \"And if there is one place people really say what they think about most things, it's in the taxi.\" Driving errors Some of the passengers who appear in the film had been told to wait for the taxi - without being told who would be driving - while others were picked up randomly and from taxi ranks. Most of them appear to realise very quickly that there is something different about their driver, with one saying: \"From this angle you really look like Stoltenberg.\" Another says she was lucky to meet him as she \"wanted to send a letter\". The conversation turns to politics in most cases. Mr Stoltenberg engages one passenger on education, saying: \"The main point is to make sure good students have something to stretch for, and to give those who struggle extra help.\" None of the passengers was charged for the ride.

He said he had not driven in eight years. Mr Stoltenberg is popular in Norway, but opinion polls suggest he is lagging behind the opposition ahead of the election.

The gap in the claimant count rate between Hull and Cambridge had increased from 3.2% in February 2008 to 6.1% in November 2011, the report said.

Last week, official figures showed the UK's unemployment rate had risen to the highest level for 16 years. \"The gap between cities is widening,\" said Alexandra Jones, chief executive of Centre for Cities. \"This makes it vital that government policy is tailored to meet the needs of each city rather than one-size-fits-all. What is right for Brighton and Reading will not be right for Dundee and Middlesbrough.\" The Local Government Association (LGA) said the report highlighted the differences in how towns and cities were dealing with the tough economic climate. \"Councils strongly support the premise that government policy must be tailored to meet the needs of each individual city,\" said Peter Box, chairman of the LGA's economy and transport board.",

However, Public Services Minister Leighton Andrews said it was the \"wrong vehicle\" to introduce such a law. Committee chair Christine Chapman said she was disappointed the government \"cannot yet do the right thing\". In October 2011 assembly members voted in favour of banning the defence of \"reasonable chastisement\" for smacking. But the then minister responsible for children, Gwenda Thomas, ruled out legislation before the 2016 assembly election, citing the need for preparatory work amid fears of \"criminalising\" parents. Protection 'deserved' The Welsh government has since resisted attempts to add a smacking ban to other bills, calling for a cross-party committee to examine when to introduce such a measure. Ms Chapman has previously said she feels \"cheated\" over the lack of legislation. Speaking during a committee debate on the issue on Thursday, the Labour AM said she was voting against her government on the issue \"with a very heavy heart\". \"We owe it to the children of Wales to give them the equal protection they deserve and in doing so I believe this will hugely strengthen the Bill,\" she said before the bid was dropped.

British Divers Marine Life Rescue (BDMLR) have dropped a hydrophone in the water to try to track the whale. Operations manager Stephen Marsh said netting Benny to set it free was too high risk and not an option, and experts could only observe and protect. \"People have been saying 'why don't you haul this out and do something with it', but we can't do that,\" Mr Marsh said. \"We know that netting an animal isn't safe.\" He said beluga could be caught and it was known the Russians caught them to sell them into the captive trade, but he added: \"We don't know how many of those animals actually die, so that's not a risk that we're willing to take.\" So far, the whale - nicknamed Benny on social media - has remained in the Kent stretch of the river, where he is feeding near barges, the Port of London Authority has said. The whale has not yet ventured as far as the capital or anywhere near the Dartford crossing. 'Find a way home' At BDMLR, Mr Marsh said his team had consulted beluga experts in Canada about Benny's visit, a phenomenon he described as \"a very spectacular and very strange occurrence\". Experts are clear they do not want to put the whale at risk or see it end up in captivity. \"It's a wild, wild animal,\" Mr Marsh said. \"It's probably come down here maybe 1,400, 1,500 maybe 2,000 km away. \"It's been fit enough to do that already.

Lawyers for the chief constable accepted that his relatives and the public were unnecessarily excluded from two days of the case. It covered reports into so-called \"shoot to kill\" incidents Recordings of the proceedings conducted in private should be played to the press and next of kin as a way of \"correcting\" the situation, a judge suggested. Jordan died following an incident on the Falls Road in Belfast. Witnesses claimed police shot him in the back as he tried to flee from a stolen car. His death was one of several high-profile cases in Northern Ireland involving allegations of a shoot-to-kill policy operated by the security forces. In October 2012, a long-delayed inquest failed to reach agreement on key aspects. The jury was split on whether reasonable force was used in the circumstances, the state of belief on the part of the officer who fired the fatal shots, and whether any alternative course of action was open to him. They did agree that Jordan was shot by a Royal Ulster Constabulary (RUC) officer after he got out of a red Ford Orion car that had been forcibly brought to a stop on the Falls Road. Unfair Jurors also endorsed the findings of a post-mortem examination that he died of a bullet wound to his chest. Lawyers for Jordan's father, Hugh, have claimed the inquest was unfair and want a new hearing ordered. Part of their judicial review challenge centres on a decision to deny them the chance to use parts of reports into suspected shoot-to-kill incidents. They want an order quashing the coroner's refusal to permit the deployment of narrative and analysis from investigations into six deaths carried out by John Stalker, the former assistant chief constable of Greater Manchester Police, and Sir Colin Sampson of West Yorkshire Police. Three of the police witnesses in the Jordan case also featured in the Stalker/Sampson reports. During two days of the judicial review hearing last month the court sat in private as issues around this material was explored. But with the reports subjected to redactions, Mr Justice Stephens questioned the need for a closed session. A new affidavit from Chief Constable Matt Baggott's senior legal advisor confirmed all sensitive material is already shielded by a public interest immunity (PII) certificate. He confirmed the PSNI does not now consider references to the redacted Stalker/Sampson reports to be heard in private. Counsel for the chief constable, Tony McGleenan QC, told the court on Tuesday: \"It's clear the closed hearing took place in circumstances where it ought not to have done.\" Karen Quinlivan QC, representing the Jordan family, claimed police had taken a \"very secretive approach\" aimed at protecting the reputation of the RUC Special Branch. She argued that any member of the public should now be able to access what was discussed in court over those two days. Mr Justice Stephens stressed: \"The primary concern is to see what should be done about that, how one corrects that position that a hearing took place in private that should have been in public.\" Subject to any further PII applications, he suggested recordings of the hearing should be played once to the press who could then report on it.",

The Arts Council of Northern Ireland said it was \"delighted\" with the \"lifeline support\". On Friday, some of Northern Ireland's leading musicians said the industry needed urgent financial support to survive. Arts leaders had warned that the sector faced ruinous losses due to widespread closures during the coronavirus pandemic. Theatres, galleries and music venues across Northern Ireland have been closed since mid-March. Many staff have been furloughed using the government's job retention scheme. However, many other artists, musicians, actors and freelancers who are self-employed have not been eligible for income support schemes established during the pandemic. Venues are likely to face restrictions on capacity due to the need to maintain social distancing when they do reopen. There are also fears that music concerts and festivals may not take place until 2021. The Arts Council has previously said that 108 venues and organisations it funds would lose about £4m in income by the end of June. The UK government said the arts funding \"represents the biggest ever one-off investment in UK culture\" and will help struggling institutions \"stay afloat while their doors are closed\". The support fund for cultural organisations in England is made up of £270m of loans and £880m of grants. The UK government said the loans would be \"issued on generous terms\". Independent cinemas and heritage sites are also eligible for the emergency grants and loans. Northern Ireland will receive £33m as part of funding to devolved administrations coming from the UK scheme. However, it is not yet clear how the money will be spent, where it will be targeted and whether additional support will be available to individuals in the arts whose incomes have been affected by the loss of work. The BBC's arts editor Will Gompertz said the devil would be in the detail of the funding scheme. \"The government has not specified how the money will be divided between competing art forms or regions, nor how the application process will work,\" he said. \"There will be winners and losers.\" The Arts Council welcomed Northern Ireland's share of the funding. \"We are delighted that the arts and cultural sectors in Northern Ireland are to get lifeline support,\" it said. \"It signals just how important the arts are to our economy, to our society and to our mental health and wellbeing. \"We look forward to hearing the detail of this funding with anticipation.\" The chair of Westminster's Culture, Media and Sport Committee Julian Knight said the funding was a welcome \"first step\" but more was needed to secure the future of many cultural venues. \"We know that one metre social distancing doesn't work economically for most theatres and venues in the UK,\" he said. \"We ultimately need to have a means by which these organisations can open safely and gain the confidence of the public.\"",

Visits to indoors shops or the hairdresser and using public transport will be allowed as well. The changes come ahead of a \"pause\" in shielding guidelines from 1 August. Giving her daily coronavirus briefing, the first minister acknowledged the \"painful journey\" of those in the shielding category over the past four months of lockdown. \"You've had to remain in your house and largely apart from all other people, even people in your own household, for months now,\" she said. \"But by doing so you have protected yourselves, you've reassured your loved ones and you've helped our health and care services - so a sincere and heartfelt thank you from me to each of you for that.\" Ms Sturgeon said that the relaxation of restrictions was possible because of the way infection rates had slowed in Scotland over the past few weeks. She compared the hundreds of new cases that were being reported each day at the beginning of April to the 16 new cases detected on Thursday. Those new cases amounted to a 0.4% positive test rate - compared to 20% and above a few months ago - the first minister said. Scotland has now also gone seven days without a new death of someone who had tested positive for Covid-19. The shielding changes announced for Friday mean the children of those who are shielding will also be able to return to formal childcare provision. However, this does not apply to children who are shielding. What else will be allowed from 24 July? Full guidance is available on the Scottish government website. Ms Sturgeon said a \"Covid forecasting service\" was being developed for those in the shielding category, which will enable people to assess the infection risk in their local area. The \"pause\" in shielding guidelines, which comes at the end of next week, will mean people will be able to return to the workplace. The advice to those in the shielding category will then be the same as people at \"heightened risk\" - for example older people. However, a resurgence in infections, either nationally or locally, could mean a return to restrictions or changes to current guidance. Ms Sturgeon said it would \"understandable\" if people felt anxious after living in such a restricted way for so long. \"We are not asking you to stop being careful and we do not want you to feel under pressure to do anything you think is unsafe.

Ms Cranston, 45, denies manslaughter along with Mr Burling's grandmother Denise Cranston, 70, and his sister Abigail Burling, 25. The three women also deny an alternative count of causing or allowing the death of a vulnerable person. Jordan Burling weighed less than six stone (37kg) when he died at home on 30 June 2016. In November 2015, his father Steven Burling texted his former partner Ms Cranston the message, \"you should take Jordan to the doctors\", and another reading, \"take Jordan to the doctors today\". When asked by prosecutor Nicholas Lumley QC if Jordan was poorly at this point, Ms Cranston replied: \"Not at that time, no.\" \"He was still up and about, still doing his own stuff,\" she added.

Overall, young people said they feel \"overburdened\" by responsibility and \"multiple barriers\", says the report. Ministers said schools worked hard to prepare pupils for life in a modern UK. The report is part of the British Council's Next Generation series of studies of young people in countries facing pivotal change - others include reports on Bangladesh, Ukraine, Colombia, Turkey and South Africa. Alongside the survey, the researchers held focus groups and workshops with young people across the UK. 'Looking inwards' Many of those interviewed were still \"angry and emotional\" about last year's vote to leave the EU but the report notes that, while 69% of young people who voted were in favour of remaining, about half did not vote. Of those polled, six in 10 said they would vote to remain if another referendum was held now. \"While there are certainly those who see leaving the EU as a great opportunity, many participants in our focus groups were worried about impacts on their lives, prospects and future plans, including constraining opportunities to work and study in other countries,\" says the report. \"Furthermore there was some concern that internationally the UK will be seen as a country looking inwards at a time when global co-operation has never been more important.\" According to the survey: But almost a quarter said they had been unable to experience any form of international engagement, whether learning a foreign language or living and studying abroad. The report found divisions along socio-economic, educational and regional lines, with young Britons from poorer families, with lower educational attainment and parents without degrees, far less likely to be positive about globalisation or to have an international outlook. The same was true for those from the North of England and the Midlands compared with London and the South. The report also found many were frustrated with an education system they saw as overly focused on grades rather than life skills like money management, healthy eating, mental health and relationships. About half felt their education had failed to properly prepare them for the world of work or for adulthood generally. Many felt constrained by a lack of affordable housing, limited career opportunities and poor pay and conditions. Recommendations based on the findings by a UK-wide panel of young people brought together for the report, include: Lead author Ian Wybron said: \"Our research confirms that many young adults feel frustrated with an education system and labour market that doesn't work for them - and the young advisers behind this project urge the government to take steps to redress inequality of opportunity. \"Young adults want reassurances that government will work to maintain and grow opportunities for young people to connect abroad and not just for the usual suspects who do so already.\" A spokesman for the Department for Education said: \"We have been clear that Britain should always remain a truly outward looking, global nation. \"Schools already prepare pupils for life in modern Britain by teaching them the knowledge, skills and values they need to fulfil their potential. \"For example, the citizenship curriculum teaches young people to play a full role in society and we have introduced both a national and international citizen service to support this. \"We recognise the value of international exchange programmes and collaboration in education and training, and are investing over £70m this year in high quality careers provision for young people.\"",

The so-called Rump Parliament sat in almost continual session, refused to stand for re-election and sought to strip Cromwell of his position as commander-in-chief. By 1653, Mr Seaward says, the Army had become suspicious that Parliament was planning to arrange elections \"in a way that would only perpetuate its own power. \"On 20 April, Oliver Cromwell, the Army's most senior officer, though also a Member of Parliament, appeared in the House as it was debating the legislation to dissolve Parliament and set up new elections,\" he says. Cromwell told the Commons: \"You are no Parliament. I will put an end to your sitting.\" Musketeers from his own regiment entered the chamber and cleared it of members. And Cromwell commanded that the mace, the symbol of parliamentary authority, be taken away, saying: \"What shall we do with this bauble?\" William Wilberforce on the abolition of slavery, 12 May 1789 This defiant, well-evidenced and angry speech, calling for the abolition of slavery, was chosen by the Lord Speaker, Baroness D'Souza. The baroness says she chose the speech as it illustrates some of the great aspects of parliamentary life. \"First, it shows the value of persistence - Wilberforce spoke these words on 12 May 1789, but it would take him another 18 years of relentless campaigning until the Slave Trade Act would receive royal assent,\" she says. \"Second, the rhetoric is combined with evidence, presented in a clear and accessible manner. \"One of the pleasures of sitting on the House of Lords woolsack is the opportunity it gives me to observe experts in their field bringing their subject knowledge to the House, the better to scrutinise proposed legislation and the actions of government. \"And finally, some of the underpinning themes of the abolitionist movement - recognition of basic human rights and equality of all people in the eyes of the law - remain as relevant, and topical, for parliamentarians today as they were in the 18th Century.\" Ellen Wilkinson's maiden speech, 10 December 1924 In her first speech in the House, Ellen Wilkinson, one of the first female MPs, called for a widening of the voting age for women. \"The present franchise law,\" she told MPs, \"by disenfranchising women between 21 and 30 years of age, definitely cuts out a very important class of women who badly need the protection of the House.\" The Labour MP Angela Eagle, who nominated the speech, says: \"As one of the first Labour women elected to Parliament and to hold ministerial office, Ellen Wilkinson was a parliamentary pioneer. \"She co-wrote Let us face the future - the 1945 Labour manifesto - when she was chair of the party and led the Jarrow March to London. \"Her speech passionately makes the case for extending the franchise to all women, at a time when not all could vote. \"She says that without the vote, the government could just ignore women's concerns. \"At a time when voter turnout is so low, her speech is a reminder that the best way to get your voice heard is through the ballot box.\" Stanley Baldwin on the abdication, 10 December 1936 Described by the American journalist HL Mencken as \"the greatest story since the crucifixion\", the 1936 abdication crisis shook both Parliament and the nation. Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin told the new King, Edward VIII, that his proposed marriage to the American divorcee Wallis Simpson would be unacceptable. He spelled out two options to the monarch, either to renounce Mrs Simpson or to abdicate. The King chose the latter, with his brother Albert, Duke of York, becoming King George VI. Following the abdication, Baldwin told MPs: \"The King cannot speak for himself. \"The King has told us that he cannot carry, and does not see his way to carry, these almost intolerable burdens of kingship without a woman at his side.\" Conservative MP Sir Peter Luff says: \"Baldwin's speech on the abdication was both highly dramatic and constitutionally hugely significant. \"Made apparently something close to spontaneously, this speech helped to heal the wounds of a potential disaster for the country and illustrates the leading role Baldwin played in saving the monarchy at a crucial time in its history.\" Leo Abse on homosexual law reform, 19 December 1966 The Speaker, John Bercow, nominated Leo Abse's move to partially decriminalise homosexual acts between consenting adults in private. The then Labour MP for Pontypool told the House that the law as it stood gave gay men \"a brutal choice\". \"It offers them either celibacy or criminality, and nothing in between,\" he said. \"In many cases, it means that the homosexual feels that he is almost a selected minority specially chosen and persecuted, and he sees within the wider community, for good or evil, more permissive attitudes.\" Mr Bercow says: \"The reason behind my choice of Leo Abse's speech moving the second reading of the Sexual Offences (No. 2) Bill on 19 December 1966 is because I am a strong believer in LGBT [lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgendered] equality. \"The first pioneering measure on this subject was Leo Abse's bill to decriminalise sexual acts between same sex consenting adults in private.\" Sir Geoffrey Howe resigns, 13 November 1990 Lorraine Sutherland, the current editor of Hansard, the official report of the Lords and Commons, nominated this moment of drama in the Commons, which led to the resignation of Margaret Thatcher. Sir Geoffrey, she says, \"was moved from the post of foreign secretary, because of clashes over Europe, to the post of leader of the House\". \"His resignation came after [Thatcher] had made some comments at a European summit in Rome which undermined the policy consensus that had held the government together,\" she says. He told the Commons that this was \"rather like sending your opening batsmen to the crease only for them to find, the moment the first balls are bowled, that their bats have been broken before the game by the team captain.\" \"That speech brought home to me how powerful words can be,\" she says. \"There was no rhetoric or bombast, just carefully crafted sentences delivered with great timing and determination.\" Robin Cook resigns over the Iraq conflict, 17 March 2003 One of New Labour's key figures quits the cabinet in the build-up to war with Saddam Hussein. The former foreign secretary, then serving as leader of the House, received a standing ovation after saying he could not support UK involvement in the conflict. \"It has been a favourite theme of commentators that this House no longer occupies a central role in British politics,\" he told MPs. \"Nothing could better demonstrate that they are wrong than for this House to stop the commitment of troops in a war that has neither international agreement nor domestic support.\" The Labour MP, Frank Doran, who nominated Mr Cook's speech, says: \"The delivery was electrifying. \"The speech summed up the history of East-West conflict in the Middle East, the weak case for war and the likely consequences of that war. \"His warnings were ignored, and we live today with the consequences. \"The Middle East is in turmoil, and a more dangerous place than ever before.\" The experts have made their choices, but do you agree with their picks?

            "input": "By Giorgos ChristidesAmphipolis, Greece Who, they are asking, is buried within. In early August, a team of Greek archaeologists led by Katerina Peristeri unearthed what officials say is the largest burial site ever to be discovered in the country. The mound is in ancient Amphipolis, a major city of the Macedonian kingdom, 100km (62 miles) east of Thessaloniki, Greece's second city. The structure dates back to the late 4th Century BC and the wall surrounding it is 500m (1,600ft) in circumference, dwarfing the burial site of Alexander's father, Philip II, in Vergina, west of Thessaloniki. \"We are watching in awe and with deep emotion the excavation in Amphipolis,\" Greek Culture Minister Konstantinos Tasoulas told the BBC. \"This is a burial monument of unique dimensions and impressive artistic mastery. The most beautiful secrets are hidden right underneath our feet.\" Ancient and modern guardians Inside the tomb, archaeologists discovered two magnificent caryatids. Each of the sculpted female figures has one arm outstretched, presumably to discourage intruders from entering the tomb's main chamber. The caryatids' modern counterparts are sitting in a police car, some 200m (650 feet) from the tomb's entrance. The dig site is protected 24 hours a day by two police officers. Their mission is to keep away the scores of journalists and tourists who arrive here by a winding dirt road from the nearby village of Mesolakkia. An imposing no-entry traffic sign serves the same purpose. Amphipolis site The excavation team has made no statement regarding the identity of the tomb's occupant. But this has not prevented the media, archaeologists and laypersons alike from becoming embroiled in an often heated guessing game. Archaeologists agree that the magnificence of the tomb means it was built for a prominent person - perhaps a member of Alexander's immediate family; maybe his mother, Olympias, or his wife, Roxana -or some noble Macedonian. Others say it could be a cenotaph. But only the excavation team can give definitive answers, and progress has been slow since the workers discovered a third chamber that is in danger of collapse. Experts have not reached a verdict, but for the few hundred inhabitants of modern-day Amfipoli and Mesolakkia, the two villages closest to the burial site, there is no doubt: interred inside the marble-walled tomb unearthed near their homes is none other than Alexander the Great. \"Only Alexander merits such a monument,\" says farmer Antonis Papadopoulos, 61, as he enjoys his morning coffee with fellow villagers in a taverna opposite the Amfipoli archaeological museum. \"The magnitude and opulence of this tomb is unique. Common sense says he is the one buried inside.\" Archaeologists and the Greek ministry of culture warn against such speculation, especially since Alexander the Great is known to have been buried in Egypt. \"We are naturally eager to learn the identity of the tomb's resident, but this will be revealed in due course by the excavators,\" Mr Tasoulas, the culture minister, says. Alexander the Great The discovery, made after two years of digging, was announced during a visit to the site last month by Prime Minister Antonis Samaras, who described it as \"very important\". Since that announcement, Amfipoli and Mesolakkia have been teeming with people, who have disturbed the slow rhythms and tranquillity of village life. \"Journalists and visitors suddenly started pouring in from all over Greece and abroad. We used to walk by the site every day, working the fields. We knew something was there, but we did not expect the magnitude of this discovery,\" says Athanasios Zournatzis, head of Mesolakkia's community. A Belgian couple from Liege pass by and tell me they came to visit after reading about the tomb in the newspaper at home. The discovery has given rise to a wave of Greek pride and patriotism, and has helped the nation put its economic predicament to one side - temporarily at least. The residents of Amfipoli and Mesolakkia are hoping this feel-good factor will last long enough to make their villages tourist attractions and give them a much-needed economic boost. At Mesolakkia, the meeting point of visitors and journalists is a traditional kafenio, or cafe, with a dominating platanus tree providing protection from the warm September sun. Mr Zournatzis says the villagers are \"hoping they have won the lottery\". Father Konstantinos, a 92-year-old priest, says he is following developments and \"shares the excitement\". Villagers say they have already been approached with offers to sell their land. Most could use the money, but they are holding off until archaeologists make an official announcement. \"Before the discovery, land here was worth close to nothing. But now no one is selling,\" says Mesolakkia resident Menia Kyriakou. A group of six women drinking their morning coffee at a nearby table explain that following latest developments is not straightforward. Balkan Studies graduate Eleni Tzimoka, who recently moved back to the village from Thessaloniki, says they are waiting at the cafe for the phone company to install an internet connection. \"We know the tomb story is big, but without access to the web, it is hard to keep up.\"",

Stoke-on-Trent City Council, which has invested £1.5m in the scheme, said all of the new houses had been let within a few weeks. About 3,000 individuals or families in the city are currently on the waiting list for social housing. The Labour-led council, which manages 19,000 properties across the city, said two-bedroom homes were the most in-demand. The houses, which took 40 weeks to build, have also been designed to be environmentally friendly and thermally efficient. The local authority said the bungalows were particularly expected to benefit families with mobility problems and feature extra-wide doorways for wheelchair access. 'A benchmark' Stephen and Hannah Lowe said their move into one of the new homes would make a big difference to their 16-year-old son Josh, who uses a wheelchair and suffers from hypoplastic anaemia. Stephen Lowe, 42, said: \"We had lived in a town house in Burslem for 14 years. \"It was very difficult for Josh to use the stairs, and also because we needed to keep the house warm because of Josh's condition, we were spending up to £800 a quarter on electricity.\" Councillor Janine Bridges said the homes would become \"a benchmark\" for future projects.

            "input": "By Adrian BrowneBBC Wales political reporter 1 May 1997: Tony Blair's Labour government sweeps to power in a landslide general election victory with a manifesto commitment to devolve power to Wales and Scotland subject to public approval in referendums. July 1997: The \"New Labour\" administration announces its Welsh devolution plans in a White Paper - A Voice for Wales. A 60-member assembly would take over responsibility for a £7bn budget from the UK Cabinet's Welsh secretary. With more limited legal powers than the proposed Scottish Parliament, it would pass secondary legislation amending certain existing laws. There would be no legal separation between the new Welsh ministers and the assembly which, unlike Westminster, would be one corporate body aiming to work on the basis of \"consensus\". 18 September 1997: In a referendum voters are asked to decide whether \"I agree there should be a Welsh Assembly\" or \"I do not agree there should be a Welsh Assembly\". The government's devolution plans were endorsed by 50.3% of the vote on a turnout of 51.3%. Wales previously voted four to one against creating an assembly in 1979. The winning margin was 6,721 votes out of more than 1.1m cast. 31 July 1998: The Government of Wales Act receives Royal Assent, after legislation was steered through Parliament by Welsh Secretary Ron Davies. The new assembly is to be established after an election in May 1999. 19 September 1998: Ron Davies defeats Rhodri Morgan to become Labour's candidate for first secretary of the assembly at a special Welsh Labour Party conference. 27 October 1998: Ron Davies resigns as Welsh Secretary after what he called a \"moment of madness\" on Clapham Common, in which he was robbed after agreeing to go for a meal with a stranger. He is replaced by Cardiff South and Penarth MP Alun Michael. 20 February 1999: The Wales Labour Party narrowly votes for Alun Michael to be its leader in the assembly, thanks to trade union block votes. Grassroots party members had overwhelmingly backed Rhodri Morgan in his second bid for the job. Tony Blair is accused of parachuting Mr Michael into the post to keep control of Welsh politics. 6 May 1999: The first assembly election, to choose 40 constituency assembly members and 20 regional list members, is held. The list members are elected using a form of proportional representation. Labour wins 28 of the 60 seats - short of a majority - with Plaid Cymru taking 17, including some Labour strongholds in the south Wales valleys. The Conservatives win nine seats and the Liberal Democrats six. 12 May 1999: Alun Michael is elected first secretary to lead a minority Labour administration when the assembly meets for the first time at a former office building, the home of a temporary debating chamber in Cardiff Bay. A purpose-built chamber is to be built nearby. Addressing the new AMs, Mr Michael says: \"Let us build that confident new Wales together.\" He faces criticism when it emerges his new agriculture secretary, Christine Gwyther, is a vegetarian. 26 May 1999: The Queen and the Prince of Wales officially open the new assembly. 9 February 2000: Opposition parties propose a no-confidence motion in Alun Michael, in a row over EU funding that has been building up for months. Mr Michael resigns before the vote takes place. The motion was backed by 31 votes to 27 with one abstention. Rhodri Morgan, the man Tony Blair sought to deny the top job in Welsh politics, becomes acting first secretary. 11 February 2000: Rhodri Morgan is confirmed by his party as the new leader of Labour's group in the assembly and the party's choice for first secretary. There is speculation Mr Morgan may seek to form a coalition administration to avoid being vulnerable to opposition votes of confidence. 15 February 2000: Assembly members elect Rhodri Morgan as first secretary. Wales' fledgling institution, he said, needed a \"period of calm and continuity\" after the previous week's high drama, and his \"number one aim as first secretary is to survive until the half-term recess at the end of this week\". \"I regard now as the end of the beginning of devolution,\" he told AMs. 17 October 2000: Now using the title first minister, Rhodri Morgan signs a coalition deal with Liberal Democrat assembly group leader Mike German, who becomes deputy first minister and holds the economic development portfolio. 26 November 2001: Rhodri Morgan decides his administration should now be known as the Welsh Assembly Government, to help people distinguish it from the assembly as a whole. Civil servants are instructed not to use the acronym WAG. 1 May 2003: There are 30 men and 30 women members following the second assembly election, making it the first such body in the world to have gender balance. With Labour up from 28 to 30 AMs, it will now rule alone, without seeking support from a rival party. Plaid Cymru loses five seats and has 12, the Conservatives gain two to reach 11 with the Liberal Democrats again sending six politicians to Cardiff Bay. Former Labour AM John Marek also becomes the assembly's first independent politician, retaining the Wrexham seat despite being deselected by Labour following a row with his local party. The Labour government's policies for the next four years include phasing out NHS prescription charges and introducing free breakfasts for primary school pupils across Wales. 31 March 2004: A commission, launched under the previous Lib-Lab coalition administration and chaired by Labour peer Lord Ivor Richard, recommends primary law-making powers should be given to the assembly. It also proposes the creation of an additional 20 assembly members and for the assembly to be a legally separate entity from the assembly government. 14 July 2004: Rhodri Morgan announces that the Welsh Development Agency, Wales Tourist Board and education quango Elwa will be absorbed into his government by April 2006. \"Today marks the end of the quango state as we have known it,\" he told the assembly. 4 April 2005: Peter Law, sacked from the cabinet when Rhodri Morgan formed a coalition in 2000, quits Labour to stand as an independent against the party in Blaenau Gwent at the UK general election. There had been much local opposition to the selection of Maggie Jones from an all-women shortlist. The defection means Labour now holds 29 of the 60 seats in Cardiff Bay. Mr Law goes on to overturn Labour's biggest majority in Wales on polling day. 18 May 2005: The Queen's Speech includes UK government plans which it says will give the assembly more legislative freedom. 1 March 2006: A new £67m assembly building, designed by Richard Rogers, hosts its first debates. It will be known as the Senedd, the Welsh word for parliament. Originally £12m had been put aside for the building. 25 July 2006: A bill giving AMs a mechanism to make laws in areas they are responsible for is given Royal Assent. To do so they will need to get permission from both Houses of Parliament. The legislation includes the option of full law-making powers for the assembly provided this is backed in a referendum. Welsh Secretary Peter Hain says it will \"settle the constitutional argument on the future of Wales, if not forever then for generations to come\". 1 April 2007: Prescription charges end in Wales, as the cost rises to £6.85 in the rest of the UK. The fees had already been gradually reduced to £3 but were now free for all patients in Wales for the first time since 1968. Northern Ireland and Scotland follow Wales in scrapping the charges over the next four years but are still payable in England. 3 May 2007: The number of Labour assembly members drops from 30 to 26 in the third assembly election. Plaid gain three seats and now have 15, the Conservatives are up one to 12 and the Liberal Democrats again return six AMs. 8 May 2007: Rhodri Morgan says Labour AMs have given him permission to speak to the Liberal Democrat and Plaid Cymru leaders to \"provide good governance for Wales\". Talks exploring the possibility of forming an alternative Plaid-Conservative-Liberal Democrat \"rainbow coalition\" also take place. 23 May 2007: Prospects of a rainbow coalition appear to collapse, after a meeting of senior Liberal Democrats in Llandrindod Wells reject a deal with Plaid and the Conservatives. 25 May 2007: Rhodri Morgan is re-nominated as first minister of a minority Labour administration promising \"to build a progressive consensus and reach out to others of a like mind\". 27 June 2007: Labour and Plaid Cymru announce they have agreed in principle to share power, a decision backed by special party conferences the following week. Plaid Cymru leader Ieuan Wyn Jones becomes deputy first minister. The deal includes holding a referendum on giving the assembly full law-making powers \"as soon as practicable, at or before the end of the assembly term\" in 2011. 1 April 2008: Health Minister Edwina Hart announces patients, staff and visitors will be able to park free at almost every NHS hospital in Wales by the end of 2011. Hospitals where parking is run by private companies are told to reduce parking charges costs until contracts expire. 2 September 2008: A new system of play-based learning is launched in primary schools, beginning with three and four year olds and later extending to seven-year-olds. Education Minister Jane Hutt says it is based on schooling in Denmark, New Zealand and Italy. 14 July 2008: An All Wales Convention to measure public support for full law-making powers for the assembly holds its first meeting. It is led by former UK's ambassador to the United Nations Sir Emyr Jones Parry. 18 November 2009: The convention's report backs giving the assembly full law-making powers in devolved areas through a referendum. A public vote for boosting powers is obtainable but not guaranteed, the document advises. 1 December 2009: Carwyn Jones wins the Welsh Labour leadership election after Rhodri Morgan steps down, replacing him as first minister the following week. 6 May 2010: The Conservatives return to power at Westminster, as David Cameron forms a coalition government with the Liberal Democrats to end 13 years of Labour rule. For the first time UK and Welsh ministers are from different parties. An inquiry into Welsh devolution is part of the Tory-Lib Dem deal. 12 May 2010: Cheryl Gillan, an MP in Buckinghamshire, is appointed Welsh secretary, the first woman to hold the post. Cardiff-born Mrs Gillan, who had served as shadow Welsh secretary since 2005, promises a \"common-sense approach to help cut through the bluff and bluster of Welsh politics\". 17 May 2010: Visiting Cardiff Bay, new Prime Minister David Cameron calls for an \"agenda of respect\" between Westminster and the assembly. 21 September 2010: The assembly government proposes 3 March 2011 as the date for a law-making powers referendum. 3 March 2011: Wales backs direct assembly law-making powers in a referendum by 63.5% to 36.5% on a turnout of 35.4%. 5 May 2011: The fourth assembly election leaves Labour with 30 of the 60 AMs. The Conservatives have 14, Plaid Cymru 11 and the Liberal Democrats five. 18 May 2011: Announcing his cabinet, Carwyn Jones refers to his administration as the Welsh Government, rather than Welsh Assembly Government. The name change is later recognised in law under the Wales Act 2014. 12 July 2011: David Cameron says an inquiry into devolution will look at the \"right level of powers\" for Wales. 1 October 2011: Wales becomes the first UK nation to introduce a minimum 5p charge on single-use carrier bags. The number of bags handed out falls by around 70%, a report the following year estimates. 11 October 2011: Former clerk to the assembly Paul Silk is named as the leader of the UK government's inquiry into the Welsh devolution settlement. Funding will be investigated first and constitutional arrangements later. 16 July 2012: An opinion poll for the Silk Commission suggests two-thirds of people in Wales think the amount of income tax they pay should be decided in Wales. But Mr Silk says the report also highlighted a \"limited understanding\" of tax issues. 4 September 2012: Clwyd West MP David Jones is promoted from junior Wales Office minister to Welsh secretary, as his ex-boss, Cheryl Gillan returns to the back benches. 19 November 2012: The Silk Commission's first report says the Welsh Government should have the power to vary an element of income tax by 2020, subject to the proposal receiving backing in a referendum. The commission also wants smaller taxes devolved, including stamp duty land tax, landfill tax and stamp duty on long-haul flights. 27 March 2013: The Welsh Government buys Cardiff Airport for £52m, after Carwyn Jones criticises a slump in passenger numbers from two million in 2007 to just over one million in 2012. Mr Jones said it would be managed \"at arm's length\" and \"on a commercial basis\". 1 November 2013: David Cameron says Welsh ministers will be offered some control over income tax, subject to a referendum. New financial powers, including control of the stamp duty paid by house buyers and powers to finance upgrades on the M4 are also announced. 18 November 2013: The Treasury announces the power to vary individual income tax bands will not be devolved, meaning changes to the basic rate would also have to be made to the higher rates in a \"lockstep\" system. 28 November 2013: Wales is the first part of the UK to force food outlets to prominently display food hygiene inspection ratings, from 0 (the lowest) to 5 (the highest), to drive up standards. 19 January 2014: Carwyn Jones describes the income tax powers on offer to Wales as \"pretty much useless\", due to the lock-step. \"It's a bit like someone giving you a car and saying 'by the way there's only one gear on it',\" he tells BBC Wales. 30 January 2014: All three assembly opposition party leaders criticise the lockstep restriction, including Conservative Andrew RT Davies. 13 February 2014: Mr Davies sacks four members of the Tory front bench team for rebelling against him in an assembly vote critical of the lockstep. Welsh Secretary David Jones says Mr Davies is expressing \"very much a personal view of his own\". 3 March 2014: The second Silk Commission report recommends the devolution of youth justice and policing, large-scale energy projects and the number of assembly members increased from 60 to 80. The commission recommends changing the way the assembly's powers are defined to list the powers that are not devolved, rather than those that are - known as the \"reserved powers\" model, which already exists in Scotland. 15 July 2014: David Jones is sacked as Welsh secretary and replaced by his deputy, Stephen Crabb. 10 December 2014: Stephen Crabb tells MPs the lockstep restriction on income tax powers is being dropped from the Wales Bill. 27 February 2015: In the so-called St David's Day agreement, David Cameron announces a new devolution package for Wales removing \"the last remaining barriers\" to holding a referendum on devolving income tax powers to Wales. The deal includes guaranteed minimum funding for the Welsh Government \"in the expectation\" of a referendum being called. Labour insists there had been no agreement. 17 April 2015: The Welsh Conservative general election manifesto repeats the pledge to introduce a Treasury \"funding floor\" for the Welsh Government \"in the expectation\" ministers in Cardiff hold a referendum on devolving some income tax raising powers. 7 May 2015: David Cameron's Conservatives win a majority of 12 at the general election and the party governs the UK alone for the first time in 18 years. 20 October 2015: A draft Wales Bill is published. UK ministers say it will extend Welsh devolution with new powers over tax, energy, transport and the assembly's own affairs. But Carwyn Jones says it amounts to an \"English veto on Welsh laws\" that would put devolution into reverse by requiring the UK government to back much legislation before it becomes law. UK ministers accuse him of \"peddling nationalist rhetoric\". 25 November 2015: Chancellor George Osborne tells MPs some income tax powers can be devolved without a referendum. In his spending review, he also promises spending per head on devolved services in Wales would not fall below 115 percent of spending per head in England. 1 December 2015: Wales become the first nation in the UK to introduce a new system to increase the number of organ donors. Adults are regarded as having consented to organ donation unless they have opted out. First Minister Carwyn Jones said it was \"law making in Wales at its best\". 29 February 2016: Stephen Crabb says plans for further devolution will be delayed until summer to allow time for \"significant changes\". 7 March 2016: Carwyn Jones unveils an alternative draft Wales Bill, saying it would cut the list of powers to be kept by Westminster and set up a separate legal system for Wales. 19 March 2016: Junior Wales Office minister Alun Cairns is promoted to Welsh secretary after Stephen Crabb is promoted to work and pensions secretary, replacing Iain Duncan Smith - he had resigned from the Cabinet, calling planned cuts to disability benefits \"indefensible\". 5 May 2016: In the fifth assembly election Labour wins 29 of the sixty seats, UKIP wins seven while the Liberal Democrats are left with just one AM, party leader Kirsty Williams. Plaid Cymru has 12 seats and the Conservatives 11. Plaid leader Leanne Wood celebrates ousting Labour minister Leighton Andrews in Rhondda. 11 May 2016: Assembly members fail to elect a first minister when a vote is tied 29:29. Carwyn Jones is backed by Kirsty Williams and his own Labour Party while Plaid Cymru AMs nominate their leader Leanne Wood, with support from the Conservatives and UKIP. 17 May 2016: Labour and Plaid Cymru AMs back a deal to end the deadlock, with Labour in power and Plaid Cymru in opposition but with promised concessions. The two parties say there have been \"constructive and positive talks\" about \"shared priorities for the coming assembly, and future working arrangements\". 18 May 2016: Carwyn Jones's reappointment is confirmed in the assembly. Leanne Wood said it was \"not about coalition\" but a \"one-off vote to allow Labour's nomination to go through\". Meanwhile, at Westminster, the Queen's Speech confirms revised devolution plans will be presented to MPs over the following year. 19 May 2016: Carwyn Jones announces his new cabinet, including sole Lib Dem AM Kirsty Williams in charge of education. Ministers are now to be described as cabinet secretaries. Deputy ministers are to be called ministers. 23 June 2016: The UK votes to leave the European Union in a referendum. In Wales, 52.5% of voters back Brexit, just slightly more than the UK-wide majority. Welsh Labour, Plaid Cymru and the Welsh Lib Dems had backed Remain, while Welsh Tory leader Andrew RT Davies had defied David Cameron by campaigning to Leave. 12 September 2016: MPs back the Wales Bill, giving it an unopposed third reading. 19 December 2016: It is announced income tax rates in Wales could be varied by 10p within each band from April 2019 as part of a deal with the UK Treasury. The amount the Welsh Government can borrow for capital spending - funding for building and infrastructure - will also double to £1bn. 9 January 2017: UK ministers narrowly avoid defeat in the House of Lords on the Wales Bill, after peers vote 222 to 222 on a Labour amendment that would transfer responsibility for industrial relations in public services in Wales to Cardiff. By convention, under tied votes, amendments are not carried. 17 January 2017: Assembly members back the Wales Bill in a Senedd vote. Carwyn Jones says the bill could be improved but it \"takes Wales forward\". The bill receives its third reading in the Lords the next day. 31 January 2017: The Wales Bill receives Royal Assent. 13 June 2017: The assembly announces plans to rename itself Welsh Parliament, after the proposal was backed in a consultation. A law making the change is expected to pass before the 2021 assembly election. 17 July 2017: Alun Cairns says a new reserved powers model for the assembly should come into force from 6 April 2018. This will define what is under the control of Westminster, with everything else assumed to rest with Cardiff Bay. Control of stamp duty land tax and landfill tax are due to be devolved on the same day. 12 September 2017: Carwyn Jones says his government will formally object to Prime Minister Theresa May's plan to transfer EU laws to the UK when the UK leaves the EU. It follows months of claims UK ministers' are using the Brexit process to snatch powers from Wales. Welsh Secretary Alun Cairns insists Wales will not only lose none of its current powers but will actually gain new ones.",

He argued a no deal will lead to a hard border on the island. Mr Bruton also said Sinn Féin's refusal to take their seats in Westminster was a \"tragedy\". Unilaterally \"Unfortunately in Ireland we had no say in this [Brexit] - the British people decided on this freely. In so doing, they effectively negated a referendum we had in Ireland,\" Mr Bruton told BBC's Today programme. \"Remember, we changed our constitution, took certain articles out of our constitution in return for an international commitment from Britain to the Belfast Agreement which guaranteed fair treatment of both communities in Northern Ireland, that neither community would be isolated. \"We changed our constitution to make that deal and Britain then comes along unilaterally and essentially decides to tear that up by proceeding with Brexit… and that's why we have insisted on a backstop to protect the Good Friday Agreement, so that Britain can't do that.\" Mr Bruton served as Taoiseach between 1994 and 1997. He was later appointed as the EU's ambassador to the US between 2004 and 2009.

On Sinn Féin's policy of abstention at Westminster, he said: \"Ireland was partitioned in 1920 when Sinn Féin refused to take their seats after the 1918 election. \"Sinn Féin have refused to take their seats on this occasion and the most serious threats to the position of Northern nationalists are now about to be realised - with no Sinn Féin, no Northern nationalist voice there to argue a different case. \"I think it's a great shame, it's a tragedy.\"",

The mother-of-three from Leeds died during the procedure in August 2018. Her partner Scott Franks went to Turkey after her death to speak to the surgeon, who he said seemed \"nervous\". Mr Franks said his partner had been \"paranoid\" about her body and was keen to have the operation, which transfers fat to the buttocks from elsewhere in the body. More stories from around Yorkshire She had saved the £6,500 needed and flew to Izmir in Turkey with her mother Theresa Hall. Ms Hall said they were taken to the hospital upon arrival and handed over the money for the operation. Miss Cambridge went to theatre and her mother fell asleep, only to be woken and told there had been \"a complication\" and her daughter had died. Mr Franks said he immediately travelled to Turkey to see her body and meet the surgeon, Dr Ali Uckan, who told him: \"It's a guessing game, you can't see where you are going into.\" 'Nervous and scared' He said the surgeon appeared \"nervous and scared\" when they spoke a day after Miss Cambridge's death and his \"exact words\" were: \"It's a matter of life and death when you are doing it.\" In a statement, Dr Uckan said he had performed the procedure \"in the region of a thousand times\", without serious complications. Miss Cambridge arranged the surgery through Elite Aftercare, which acts as a go-between linking clients and surgeons, and travelled to Turkey on 26 August last year. The court heard how Mr Franks received a letter from Elite after her death, falsely claiming Miss Cambridge had taken \"illicit drugs\". Dr Lisa Barker, a consultant histopathologist for Leeds Teaching Hospitals, said Miss Cambridge died after fat entered her circulatory system and eventually blocked the pulmonary artery to the lungs. Coroner Kevin McLoughlin asked Georgina Neville, who set up Elite Aftercare, whether her company will continue to enable clients to have butt-lift operations despite many UK clinics refusing on account of the danger, to which she responded: \"I decline to answer.\" The inquest, which is due to last three days, continues.

PIP (Poly Implant Prothese) was shut down in March 2010 amidst a worldwide health scare. The company used sub-standard silicone gel, causing many implants to rupture. Six implant distributors and 1,700 women had sued TUV Rheinland for 50m euros (£42m), arguing anything but a cursory inspection would have found problems. The plaintiffs in the civil case will be given an initial payment of 3,000 euros per victim for surgery to have the implants removed. Jan Spivey, a British woman who received PIP implants as part of reconstructive surgery following breast cancer in 2002, said she was \"delighted\" with the ruling. \"Of course TUV has some responsibility and should be held to account. They're the organisation that gives the CE certification for safety, and that was what my surgeon relied on when he gave the implants to me. \"Anybody that gives safety certification for a product that is going to make women very sick does have responsibility,\" she told the BBC's Newshour programme. It could open the door to many more compensation claims, says the BBC's Christian Fraser in Paris. TUV Rheinland had won two previous cases in Germany. This was the first such case in France. The German firm has said it will appeal against the verdict. Hidden from view TUV Rheinland awarded PIP - formerly one of the world's leading suppliers of implants - its European safety certificate for 17 years. The founder of PIP, Jean Claude Mas, is still on trial for aggravated fraud in Marseilles, along with four of his executives. He revealed during police interviews that he had ordered employees to hide the unauthorised silicone when inspectors visited his factory. It has since emerged the substandard gel was used in 75% of the implants. The court heard an employee in charge of quality control had only a cooking diploma - another in charge of the lab had previously trained as a pastry chef, our correspondent says. A ruling is expected in Jean Claude Mas' case on 10 December.",

US states are facing a shortage of execution drugs as a growing number of firms have refused to sell them. Sells' lawyers tried unsuccessfully to find out the names of the suppliers. Debate about the source of execution drugs has recently become contentious in several states as numerous drug makers have refused to sell their products if they are used in executions. Opposition is especially strong among European drug makers, where concern over capital punishment is fiercest. A lower court earlier stopped Sells' execution, ordering the Texas Department of Criminal Justice to reveal more information about the drug supplier, but its ruling was overturned on appeal. The convicted man's attorneys argued that they needed to know the name of the pharmacy supplying the pentobarbital in order to verify the drug's quality and protect him from unconstitutional pain and suffering. \"Without transparency about lethal injections, particularly the source and purity of drugs to be used, it is impossible to ensure that executions are humane and constitutional,\" lawyers Maurie Levin and Jonathan Ross said in a statement. But the Supreme Court agreed with Texas prison officials, who argued that information about the drug supplier must be kept secret to protect the pharmacy from threats of violence. The justices did not elaborate on the reasoning behind their ruling, which was issued about an hour before Sells' execution. Last month a pharmacy in the state of Oklahoma said that it would not supply pentobarbital to neighbouring Missouri for use in an execution. Sells was convicted of murder in 2000 for stabbing Kaylene Harris, 13, to death and slashing her 10-year-old friend, Krystal Surles, who survived and helped police find him. US media reports said Sells had confessed to as many as 70 killings across the US. He declined to give a statement prior to his execution. Sells was pronounced dead 13 minutes after being given the pentobarbital. His execution was the fifth lethal injection this year in Texas, the busiest state in the US for enforcing the death penalty. Nearly 1,400 men have been put to death since the US Supreme Court reinstated the death penalty in 1976.",

In October the government announced that Citizens Advice would provide face-to-face \"guidance\" at bureaux. Citizens Advice said the service would be \"up and running\" by the launch date. However its chief executive, Gillian Guy, said her organisation was not looking to recruit \"pensions experts\". From April those aged 55 and over who were due to access defined contribution pensions will have new freedom to take their pension as a cash lump sum, with no obligation to buy an annuity. Last March, Chancellor George Osborne announced that anyone retiring on one of these new schemes would be offered free, impartial, face-to-face advice on how to get the most out of the choices available. Earlier this week Citizens Advice announced that 44 out of its 316 offices in England and Wales will offer face-to-face guidance under the Pension Wise scheme, with between three and seven members of staff in each office. But critics have expressed concern that the recruitment process has started too late and staff will lack the necessary experience and qualifications to give expert advice when the scheme rolls out on 6 April. Citizens Advice told Money Box that the recruitment process is yet to be completed. 'So important' Once all the appointments have been made the Treasury will then be responsible for training and assessing staff before they start work in just over 10 weeks' time. Margaret Snowdon, who was awarded an OBE for service to the pensions industry in 2010, said: \"This is so important. If people who don't understand pensions and don't understand much more than the people they are speaking to that's going to be so apparent and it's going to blow the service.\" Ms Snowden said the minimum requirement for some people providing the advice should be three years' experience plus a qualification. The Pensions Advisory Service, who will be responsible for delivering telephone guidance, stated in their job advert that applicants must have experience in working pensions and specific pensions knowledge. Its chief executive, Michelle Cracknell, has said the organisation is recruiting for the role on a similar basis to that for its advisers, who are required to have five years experience in pensions and a qualification. Guidance vs. advice But Ms Guy, from Citizens Advice, said there was a \"fundamental difference in the interpretation of what this service is. It's quite clearly been defined as guidance and not advice and it's not regulated advice\". She added that people receiving guidance at the bureaux offering it would be signposted to places where they can receive further advice. It has also been revealed that complaints about the new service will not be handled by the Financial Ombudsman Service. A complaint will initially go to Citizens Advice, and if they can not resolve it it will go to an independent adjudicator appointed by the Treasury. The Treasury is yet to decide the terms under which the adjudicator will work but will make an announcement in \"due course\".",

They also carried an injured police officer to safety after a Palestinian man, Osama Joda, gave him first aid. Five people, including an attacker, were killed and another 22 wounded as firing broke out opposite a synagogue in the Austrian capital. The man accused of carrying out the attack was a 20-year-old \"Islamist terrorist\" who was released early from jail in December, and shot dead by police during the incident. Mr Joda, 23, was working at a nearby McDonalds, and told local newspaper Kurier that he was carrying goods into the restaurant when the attacker began shooting at passers-by. When two police officers came to help, the attacker opened fire on them and one was struck by a bullet. \"I pulled him behind the concrete bench and tried to stop the bleeding,\" said Mr Joda. \"There was blood everywhere.\" The perpetrator fled after more police arrived at the scene, and Mr Joda then helped to drag the officer to a nearby ambulance. He was assisted in this by Mr Özen and Mr Gultekin, who are both of Turkish descent. Earlier Mr Gultekin, 21, had carried the injured woman to a restaurant. Mr Özen, a mixed martial artist and personal trainer, told Kurier that they then noticed the policeman bleeding on the floor after gunfire erupted. \"We knew immediately what to do, there was no choice but to help,\" said the 25-year-old. \"Austria is our home. We would help at any time.\" Police have not confirmed details of the incident, but Interior Minister Karl Nehammer told local media that the officer was taken to safety by Austrians with a migrant background. \"No terrorist attack will succeed in tearing up or dividing our society,\" he added. Turkey's ambassador to Austria, Ozan Ceyhun, also hosted Mr Özen and Mr Gultekin at the Turkish embassy and praised their conduct. Security has been tight in Vienna as police launched a manhunt for further attackers, and 14 people have been arrested after a series of police raids. But authorities believe the gunman killed by police may have acted alone. Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz said the four who died were an elderly woman, an elderly man, a young male passer-by and a waitress. It was clearly an attack driven by \"hatred of our way of life, our democracy\", the chancellor said. Do you have any information you can share?

It was bad news for US President Donald Trump, who slipped 220 spots to 544 and must now rub along on just $3.5bn. Forbes said the $1bn fall in his wealth was due to the slow US property market. There were 183 tech billionaires on the Forbes list, with a combined $1tn in wealth. The list is dominated by US billionaires. Others in the top 10 included Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, who moved up to number three with the biggest gain of any person on the planet, a $27.6bn rise in his fortune of $72.8bn. Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg was number five and Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison was number seven. The global population of billionaires, now put at a record 2,043, marks the biggest annual increase in the 31 years since the magazine began compiling the list. The number of US billionaires on the list was 565, which Forbes attributed to the recent stock market surge since Mr Trump's November 2016 election.

In Lagos and other cities, thousands marched against the removal of the subsidy, which has doubled fuel costs. Police fired on protesters in Kano in the north, reportedly killing two and wounding many. Another demonstrator died in a clash with police in Lagos. President Goodluck Jonathan has said the subsidy was economically unsustainable. In the commercial capital, Lagos, police and demonstrators clashed as about 10,000 people took part in a rally against the rising fuel prices. Some protesters waved placards bearing an effigy of President Jonathan with devil horns and fanged teeth, and showing him pumping fuel at a gas station. \"Our leaders are not concerned about Nigerians. They are concerned about themselves,\" protester Joseph Adekolu told the Associated Press news agency. One demonstrator was killed and three wounded, witnesses and hospital sources said. In Kano, Nigeria's second-largest city, at least 30 people were injured as police used tear gas and fired in the air to disperse protesters converging on the governor's office. Two demonstrators later died, hospital sources said. A night-time curfew is in force in the city. In the capital, Abuja, trade unions and civil society groups organised a march and protesters closed the airport. Smuggled fuel Fuel and transport costs doubled after the subsidy ended on 1 January, angering many Nigerians, who saw it as the only benefit they received from the country's vast oil wealth. Most of Nigeria's 160 million people live on less than $2 (£1.30) a day, so the sharp price increases have hit them hard. \"With these increases, the cost of transport has gone up and this has also affected the cost of food, and the basic necessities of life, such as rents, school fees and medical bills,\" said Chris Uyot, a spokesman for the Nigeria Labour Congress, one of the strike's organisers. Nigerian Information Minister Labaran Maku called on unions to end the strike, saying the government was ready for dialogue. He told the BBC the authorities were doing their best to reduce the hardship caused by removing the subsidy. A similar strike in 2003 ended with a partial climbdown, when the Nigerian government agreed to reduce the subside, rather than scrapping it altogether. Despite being a major oil producer, Nigeria has not invested in the infrastructure needed to produce refined fuel, so has to import much of its petrol. With the subsidy, fuel was much cheaper in Nigeria than neighbouring countries, so some of it was smuggled abroad. Members of parliament have called on President Jonathan to reconsider, but he made a televised address on Saturday to defend the the subsidy cut. \"We must act in the public interest, no matter how tough, for the pains of today cannot be compared to the benefits of tomorrow,\" he said. The deregulation of the petroleum sector was, he insisted, the best way to curb corruption and ensure the survival and growth of the economy. \"The truth is that we are all faced with two basic choices... either we deregulate and survive economically, or we continue with a subsidy regime that will continue to undermine our economy.\" He said that top government officials would, from this year, take a 25% pay cut, and foreign trips would also be reduced. The government says it will spend the $8bn (£5bn) it saves each year by scrapping the subsidy on improving health, education and the country's erratic electricity supply. However, many Nigerians fear it is more likely to end up in the pockets of corrupt officials. The unrest comes at the same time as a surge in sectarian violence. The Islamist militant group Boko Haram has carried out a string of deadly attacks in recent weeks, mainly against Christian targets in the north-east. On Monday a crowd attacked a mosque in Benin city in the south. More than 40 people were injured, the Red Cross says.",

            "input": "By Anne CassidyBusiness reporter Ethan Brown's 12-year-old son eats a burger almost every day. It may not sound like a diet a parent would want for their child, but Mr Brown has no concerns, because the burger patties come from his own company, Beyond Meat. And they are made entirely from plants. \"My son's getting clean protein… and no cholesterol,\" he says. \"He's growing like crazy right now so I want him to have that protein.\" Mr Brown says he is on a mission to redefine the word \"meat\". The 40-something's Los Angeles-based business makes vegan burger patties, chicken strips and sausages from plant proteins. They are formulated to mimic the taste, texture and look of beef, chicken and pork. Stocks of the company's flagship Beyond Burger product quickly sold out after its launch in the US in 2016, helped by a positive article in the New York Times. More than 25 million Beyond Burgers have now been sold, and earlier this summer the company launched the product in the UK and mainland Europe. Meanwhile, high-profile investors include Microsoft's Bill Gates, Twitter founders Biz Stone and Evan Williams, and the actor Leonardo DiCaprio. \"There's no mystery to meat,\" says Mr Brown. \"It's amino acids, lipids, trace minerals and water. \"And if you can deliver those four things in the same blueprint or architecture as muscle - why can't that be called meat?\" Before launching Beyond Meat in 2009, Mr Brown worked in the alternative energy sector as a hydrogen fuel cell developer. While he says he liked the work because of its potential for lowering vehicle emissions, he felt he could make a bigger contribution to society by focusing on trying to reduce the environmental impact that livestock has on the planet. He also wants people to eat less meat for animal welfare and health issues. So Mr Brown set up Beyond Meat, and began researching how you can use plant materials to replicate the composition of the proteins and fats in meat. Getting in touch with scientists at the University of Missouri who were doing research on plant-based meat substitutes, he began working with them on creating a viable product. \"We put together the best scientists on this [challenge],\" Mr Brown says. \"To understand meat more than anyone else in the world, and then painstakingly build it bit by bit using plants.\" Mr Brown spent all his savings on the venture, and raised money from family and friends. \"I truly begged family members,\" he says. \"It's amazing what you'll do to make it work.\" The first product that Mr Brown and the team of scientists came up with was Beyond Chicken Strips. After repeatedly phoning grocery chain Whole Foods, \"almost to the point of indecent behaviour\", he says he managed to get a meeting that resulted in the store stocking the product from 2013. However, Mr Brown wasn't happy with the early recipes. More The Boss features, which every week profile a different business leader from around the world: \"We got the vegetarians by the droves, but we didn't get the mainstream consumer,\" he says. \"We had to go back to the drawing board.\" So with his team of biochemists, biophysicists and biomedical scientists he got to work on making products that were even closer to real meat. Along with improving the formulations, Mr Brown says that his biggest challenge was getting people to stop thinking of them as \"fake meat\". \"I would never call it that,\" he says. \"We don't call a mobile phone a fake phone - it's a better phone than a landline. We have to get people to think about it this way.\" The best-selling Beyond Burger patties \"bleed\" like beef burgers, thanks to the addition of beetroot juice. They also include pea protein, coconut oil and potato starch, and the company asks supermarkets to stock them beside the raw beef products in the chilled counters. The product is now stocked by 8,000 supermarkets across the US, and in thousands of the country's restaurants. In the UK it is being trialled at one branch of burger chain Honest Burger. It was also due to be on sale at supermarket chain Tesco from last month, but that has now been delayed until later in the year. Beyond Meat says it's because it was struggling to keep up with existing demand, both in the US and overseas. Consumers are clearly coming round to the notion of plant-based meat substitutes that aim to look and taste like the real thing. More than a quarter of Britons (26%) say they find the idea of such products appealing, according to research group Mintel. \"[This] puts companies like Beyond Meat in a strong position to capitalise on the current interest in limiting meat intake,\" says Mintel's UK food and drink research director Kiti Soininen. But just how good, or otherwise do the company's products taste? A trawl of online food blogs show that the reviews are broadly positive. But while some reviewers say its burgers taste unnervingly like real beef, others say they definitely don't. While Beyond Meat now has many rivals, including US start-up Impossible Meat and the UK's Moving Mountains, Mr Brown says that Beyond Meat is struggling to keep up with demand. \"We're trying as hard as we can to catch up,\" he says. The company, which started with just 10 people operating from a kitchen in a former hospital, now employs about 200. And it has just opened its second production facility in Columbia, Missouri, which it says will create a further 250 jobs. In addition, it has launched a new research lab in Los Angeles. This expansion has been funded by external investment in the business that now totals $72m (£56m). Mr Brown won't reveal what stake he retains in the company, but calls it a \"decent share\". Mr Brown, who spent his childhood outside Washington DC, says he approaches every working day like it's an athletic event - eating well, exercising and meditating. At work, he admits, his focus is intense, and there's \"not much chitchat time\". \"I tell my son this all the time,\" he says. \"You're not going to get an extraordinary outcome if you don't put an extraordinary amount of work in.\"",

Its location remained a mystery until June 2018, when the ship was found five miles (8km) off the coast of Maine. The Eagle lay 300ft (91m) below the surface of the Atlantic Ocean. \"This particular wreck was one of those conversations: 'wouldn't it be great if we could?'\" said Ryan King, a member of the eight-person dive team. But as Mr King began looking into the mystery-shrouded ship, finding the Eagle soon became something he \"had\" to do. \"It's one of those wrecks that just gets under your skin,\" said Mr King. \"If it's not you, who else is looking?\" He and seven other divers combed the seabed for the ship for four years before it was found - 69 years after it sank to the bottom of the Atlantic, killing 49 of the 62 crew members on board. They eventually teamed up with Gary Kozak, a specialist in undersea searches. Mr Kozak pointed the group towards several \"targets\" - possible GPS coordinates where the ship could be. On a dive in June last year, two of the divers swam upon a \"big wall of steel\" at the bottom of the ocean. \"That wall turned out to be the Eagle PE-56,\" Mr King said, adding that he felt \"just absolute awe\" and that locating the ship was a team effort. For the rest of the summer the group returned to the wreck, taking around 20 additional dives and gathering the evidence needed to prove the sunken ship was the missing Eagle. They worked closely with Robert Neyland, who leads the underwater archaeology branch of the Naval History and Heritage Command. Mr Neyland and his team manages the approximately 3,000 American shipwrecks and 15,000 naval aircrafts worldwide. It would take the team under four minutes to dive to the wreck, with water temperatures plunging below 40F (4C). Ascents would last up to three hours so divers could avoid decompression sickness. This particular warship, designed by Henry Ford for WWI, was the only Eagle boat lost during combat. Its sinking was initially blamed on a boiler explosion, despite accounts from surviving crew members, who said they had spotted a German submarine before their ship sank. In a rare move, the Navy overturned its initial ruling after declassified German documents confirmed that the Eagle had been hit by a torpedo. The sinking was changed to a combat loss and all of the Eagle's crew members were posthumously awarded a Purple Heart for their service. \"History was rewritten,\" Mr Neyland said. The discovery is invaluable recognition for the crew of the Eagle \"for having their ship shot at beneath them\". This fall, the Smithsonian Channel will air its documentary \"Hunt for Eagle 56\", chronicling the discovery by Mr King and the diving team. \"As soon as we found the wreck we really wanted to get this story told,\" Mr King said. \"Not our story, the story of the Eagle.\" \"Our hope was just to put it on a map,\" he added. \"To put it to rest.\"",

'Knives and knuckledusters' Brighton said Palace supporters who had travelled without tickets tried to force their way into the stadium, and a decision was taken to close turnstiles early. Ch Insp Simon Nelson, the match commander, said some fans had attempted to attend the game with \"knives and knuckledusters\", which were found at the ground. However, Sussex Police was forced to issue an apology on 7 December for wrongly claiming weapons were found discarded at the stadium, saying the statement had been issued \"in good faith\" based on information logged by officers on the night. Ch Insp Nelson then issued his own apology via his Twitter account a day later. In a nine-page letter to the head of professional standards at Sussex Police, Irvine Thanvi Natas Solicitors said the central concern was \"the belief that the events as they unfolded and the significant disquiet arising from law-abiding fans, were avoidable had there been better planning and communication\". It said there were two aspects to the complaint - in respect of the overall policing operation, and the actions of individual officers. The letter states that \"the only named officer against whom a complaint is made is Supt (previously Ch Insp) Simon Nelson, in respect of his command of the operation, and in respect of the allegations he made about CPFC fans\".

In another leaked tape, the country's top banker discusses the next election with the interior minister. Investigations continue into how Wprost magazine obtained the recordings. Published by the magazine over the past two weeks, they were made in one or more restaurants in the capital, Warsaw, and are believed to date back as far as last summer. Wprost's chief editor, Sylwester Latkowski, was being questioned on Tuesday as a witness in the inquiry after he resisted attempts to search the magazine's office and computers last week. Mr Sikorski has not denied the remarks, accompanied by obscenities, that have been attributed to him. Central bank governor Marek Belka has said he will not resign over the remarks he is alleged to have said. The conservative opposition party, Law and Justice, is calling for Mr Tusk's centre-right coalition to resign but correspondents say this is unlikely at present. The scandal is especially embarrassing for Poland, the biggest of the former Soviet bloc states to join the EU, as it celebrates 25 years of freedom, marking the overthrow of its communist government and first, semi-free elections in 1989. 'Organised crime' The Sejm, or lower house of parliament, is assembling for a three-day debate on the issue, state radio reports. In one recording, Mr Sikorski can apparently be heard saying Poland's relationship with the US would prove worthless in the event of a crisis involving Germany or Russia: \"It is downright harmful because it creates a false sense of security.\" As heard on the tape, he also ridicules UK Prime Minister David Cameron's immigration policy and views on the EU. Mr Sikorski, Poland's nominee to replace Catherine Ashton as EU foreign policy chief, also uses obscene and possibly racist language, according to the transcript published by Wprost. Defending himself this week, he said the government had come under attack from an as yet unidentified \"organised crime group\". In the earlier leak, Wprost published the content of an alleged private conversation in which Poland's top banker discussed the next election with Interior Minister Bartlomiej Sienkiewicz. Under Polish law, the central bank must remain independent of politics. Prime Minister Tusk has already said he will not dismiss officials whose compromising conversations were caught on tape in what he called a \"criminal\" action by \"ill-intentioned people\". \"The Polish government will not be dictated to by people who illegally planted these bugs... whether by ill-will, naivety, greed or to serve political interests,\" he told journalists on Monday.

The first minister also committed to retaining the small business bonus scheme until at least 2021. Shadow chancellor John McDonnell and Scottish Tory Ruth Davidson also addressed the conference in Glasgow. A study by the FSB prior to the conference has found a majority of Scottish firms expect business conditions to worsen. But Ms Sturgeon told the conference in Glasgow that she wants to make Scotland the \"best place to do business anywhere in the UK\". She said Mr Barclay would lead a review considering how business rates might better support growth and respond to wider economic conditions and changing markets. The review is expected to be complete by the summer of 2017. 'Fair taxation' Ms Sturgeon said the review, and any action taken by the Scottish government, would be guided by \"three clear principles\". \"Firstly the intention of the review will be to make recommendations which, overall, are revenue neutral. This is not an exercise in increasing overall tax revenue, it is about ensuring taxation is fair\", she said. The first minister added: \"Secondly the small business bonus scheme will be retained until at least 2021. \"And finally, the business rates system should reflect the ambition that Scotland will be the best place to do business anywhere in the UK.\" Mr Barclay, who left RBS in 2015 after almost 40 years with the bank, said he was \"delighted\" to take part in the \"important piece of work\". The FSB welcomed news of the review, but said some action would need to be taken before it was completed in 2017. Scottish policy convenor Andy Willox said: \"On rates, small firms from up and down Scotland will be pleased to hear of the Scottish government's intentions to review the system while retaining their ground-breaking small business bonus scheme. \"But with just of a year until the next revaluation, action may need to be taken now to make the system more user-friendly.\" 'Fundamental reform' The Scottish Retail Consortium also said news of Mr Barclay's appointment was \"welcome and positive\". Director David Lonsdale said: \"It is encouraging that ministers have listened to the retail industry and the growing chorus from across commercial life in Scotland who have spoken up in favour of fundamental reform of business rates. \"The review heralds a great opportunity to recast business rates for the decades ahead and we look forward to engaging with Mr Barclay and the review to ensure the reformed system is modern, sustainable and competitive.\" Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell addressed the conference after Ms Sturgeon, saying Labour wanted to work \"closely\" with the FSB on a \"joint agenda\". Describing small businesses as \"the engines of our prosperity\", he said it would be them and not politicians who would turn around the country's economic fortunes. Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson also made a speech, pledging to be \"a voice for small business\" at Holyrood, and calling for a business rate freeze across Scotland. She said rates were \"a huge dead weight on the ability of business to prosper\", calling on the Scottish government to \"go further\" on the matter than the UK government. Before the conference, the FSB released a quarterly survey showing a majority of small Scottish firms expect business conditions to worsen. 'Gruelling conditions' It said business owners in Scotland were among the gloomiest in the UK, with a majority pessimistic for the first time since 2013. Some 64% of respondents saw the state of the domestic economy as a barrier to their business growth. Confidence among firms in the UK also hit its lowest level in three years. The survey suggested that small business revenues and profits north of the border were down, although firms predicted improvements. Mr Willox said: \"Scottish firms whose prospects are indirectly or directly allied with the state of the oil and gas industry are of course facing gruelling trading conditions. \"But the pressures on the massive services sector are also taking their toll. This could explain why Scottish confidence figures lag behind even the depressed numbers for the UK as a whole.\"",

The email said: \"Given the benefits of RHI we find that many of our potential customers are no longer worried about becoming more efficient. \"In fact it pays them to use as much as they can. The incentive to use more is leading to misuse in some cases. \"I firmly believe that energy efficiency and sustainability should go hand (in hand) and I'd really appreciate 20-30 minutes if your time to see what you think.\" The DUP responded by saying: \"As has been apparent over recent days there is clearly some confusion over the precise details in relation to the emails. \"The First Minister has no formal record of any emails from this period as her records do not go back this far. \"Before the email of the 26th August was published the person who had sent the email was contacted by an official in the Department of the Economy who confirmed that the 26th August email had been the only direct contact with Arlene Foster, and the official's understanding was that she was content to release that email subject to redactions. \"We apologise if there was any misunderstanding, as we certainly would not have released the email had we thought that would be against her wishes. \"However, we understand that another email has come to light dated September 3 which makes a reference to concerns about the RHI. \"The First Minister's office has no record of this email, but equally no reason to believe that it was not sent or received. \"In any event the person in question contacted officials two days later on 5 September 2013 (in immediate response to the letter from the Minister) in order to set up a meeting at which her plans and concerns were discussed. \"We understand that at this meeting she also raised concerns about the RHI but, very unfortunately, these concerns were not taken sufficiently seriously. At all times Mrs Foster sought to follow the appropriate processes in relation to this issue.\" First Minister Arlene Foster faces a vote of no confidence at the Assembly later over her involvement in the botched heating scheme.",

            "input": "Jonathan MarcusDiplomatic correspondent@Diplo1on Twitter Under the headline \"Secret Alliance: Israel Carries Out Airstrikes in Egypt, With Cairo's O.K.\" its correspondent, David D. Kirkpatrick provided details of a remarkable and highly secret military relationship. \"For more than two years,\" he wrote, \"unmarked Israeli drones, helicopters and jets have carried out a covert air campaign, conducting more than 100 airstrikes inside Egypt, frequently more than once a week — and all with the approval of President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi.\" While Egypt has had a peace deal with Israel since 1979, it is widely characterised as a \"cold peace\". Even now any collaboration - let alone sanctioned air strikes - is rarely acknowledged. The essence of the story was that the Egyptian military which had long been struggling to cope with an Islamist insurgency in the Sinai, had turned to Israel for assistance. The relationship had benefits for both parties. \"For Cairo,\" he noted, \"the Israeli intervention has helped the Egyptian military regain its footing in its nearly five-year battle against the militants. \"For Israel, the strikes have bolstered the security of its borders and the stability of its neighbour.\" The article looked to be based entirely upon Israeli or western sources. When the article was published it provoked consternation amongst Egyptian media commentators who branded it \"unprofessional journalism\" and \"fake news\". Egypt's military spokesman insisted that it was only the Egyptian law enforcement forces that were confronting the militants. Such military cooperation, if true, would be a highly sensitive matter for the Egyptian authorities. But amid a litany of reports of air strikes - both by drones and manned aircraft - over several months, I certainly wondered at times just who might be carrying them out. The story fits into the pattern of a wider shift in the region - the broad lines of which are certainly true - but its extent and its likely consequences remain far from clear. An anti-Iran alliance? The rise of Iran and its growing regional role - extending from the Gulf to the Mediterranean is alarming countries like Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Jordan. Circumstances then have pushed some of the moderate Sunni Arab states ever closer towards Israel. They share concerns about both Iran's regional role and its nuclear ambitions, and the perceived unwillingness of Washington in recent years to confront Tehran. Diplomatic signals and briefings lead one to believe that there is genuine substance in this rapprochement. There have also been subtle and some not-so-subtle signs. Most recently, Dr Mohammed Al Issa, secretary general of the Saudi-based Muslim World League, wrote a fascinating \"open\" letter to the director of the Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington where he both expressed his sympathy for the victims of the Holocaust during World War Two and condemned those who would say that the Holocaust never happened. This from a very senior religious leader in a region that has, to be blunt, been at the forefront of Holocaust denial for decades, was a remarkable statement. Can Israel have its cake and eat it? From the Arab side one has to piece together incidents like this to give a sense of the changes that are going on beneath the surface. The Israelis - perhaps some might say ill-advisedly - are much more forthright. Both in private briefings and in public they are eager to play up their improving ties with the moderate Sunni states. Israel's Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, put it this way in a presentation at London think tank Chatham House last November. Speaking of developments in the region he said that \"the bad news is that, in the battle between the medievalists and the modernists, the medievalists are moving forward, specifically with Iran\". But the good news, he went on, \"is that the other guys are getting together with Israel as never before. And there is something that I wouldn't have expected in my lifetime, but we're working very hard to establish, and that is an effective alliance between Israel and the moderate Sunni states to counter the aggression of Iran, to roll it back as far as possible.\" And he strove to underline the point, noting that \"as you move towards the Persian Gulf, or as they call it, the Arab Gulf, you will find that attitudes to Israel are mellowing considerably\". He continued: \"They're still very hardened, you know, in the Palestinians, in our immediate vicinity, but they sort of mellow out. \" Mr Netanyahu's mention of the Palestinians is an element that should bring this debate down to earth. True, even when US President Donald Trump announced his intention to move the US embassy in Israel to Jerusalem, there was only a muted reaction amongst Sunni Arab leaders. But attitudes in wider Arab society, among intellectuals and the populace at large, do not tend to reflect this \"elite softening\" towards Israel. Far from it. There is a paradox here that many analysts believe that this is a moment of opportunity to try to push forward the Israel-Palestinian peace process and to take advantage of the newfound co-operative mood between Israel and the so-called moderate Arabs. But the Sunni Arab states still grate at some of the policies of Mr Netanyahu's government, even as they seek wider consensus on the mutual security threats they both face. And there are those in Israel who despair at what they see as a wasted opportunity to at the very least test out what might be possible. The Netanyahu government seems to be signalling that it can have its cake and eat it - in other words it can make no progress on the Palestinian front while still improving its relationship with the moderate Arab states.",

Fifteen gannets were tagged and tracked by GPS for the study and further work is planned on the issue. The research was carried out with the help of the Alderney Wildlife Trust and the British Trust for Ornithology. It was funded by the Alderney Commission for Renewable Energy. More trackers Viola Ross-Smith, Research Ecologist with the British Trust for Ornithology, said it was difficult to say what would happen following the publication of the research. She said: \"All the study shows is that gannets are crossing areas where renewable energy developments are proposed.\" She added: \"It's not particularly a surprise to know they visit these sites.\" Ms Ross-Smith said further investigations were planned, possibly involving more trackers attached to more birds. She said the latest research had been based on between three and five days' worth of tagging. Roland Gauvain, manager of the Alderney Wildlife Trust, said the results of the research were exciting. He said the study showed gannets were travelling further and further to collect food and were seen to be following fishing boats. 'Wide foraging range' He added that the impact of the research on renewable energy around Alderney could turn out to be positive or negative. Mr Gauvain said that future changes in fishing practices could have more of an effect on local sea birds. He said evidence had shown that tidal farms attracted shellfish, which in turn attracted more birds. Nicola Soames, of the University of Liverpool, said it was unclear how Alderney's gannets would deal with changes to their environment. She said: \"Because they have such a wide foraging range they'll maybe have to adapt and just move to other areas.\" Previous research indicated there were more than 7,000 gannets in and around Alderney.",

            "input": "A large poster of Paul Biya hangs like a street sign in Cameroon's western city of Bafoussam. \"The force of experience,\" reads the poster in reference to President Biya's 36 years in power, to which he now hopes to add another seven-year term. A couple of metres from the poster, members of Mr Biya's governing CPDM party are meeting to drum up support for the person they call their hero. \"Young people may be eloquent. They may make big promises, but none of them can have the steady hands to run a large country like Cameroon,\" says party supporter Emmanuel Ndam, 58. \"For over 30 years, our president has been tested by various crises, and each time, he has been able to overcome,\" Mr Ndam adds. \"Just look at the mature way he handled the Bakassi crisis with Nigeria. Some hot-headed youth could just have messed up the situation,\" he adds, before making his way into the meeting hall. His comrade Alice Meye, 22, agrees. She says only President Biya has the wherewithal to resolve Cameroon's myriad crises, most urgent of which is the unrest in the country's two English-speaking regions. \"We have a president who does what he promises to do. He has said he will solve the problems of our Anglophone brothers. Let's give him a chance.\" \"Even in death, President Paul Biya will continue to reign,\" she said. 'The old man is tired' But not everyone believes Mr Biya, Africa's second-longest serving leader, still has the charisma and the physical stamina to stay at the helm. Picking out specks of beef from his teeth with a wooden pick, Ibrahima Sadiki, a resident of the capital Yaoundé's swampy Briqueterie slum tells the BBC \"the old man is tired\". \"This is a man who should normally stay quietly in the village, playing with his grandchildren.\" Arguments about the president's age, however, pale in comparison to the numerous problems Cameroon faces today. A separatist uprising in the country's two Anglophone regions - the North-West and South-West - is stretching Cameroon's much-hyped unity to the limits. In October 2016, teachers and lawyers in Cameroon's English-speaking regions took to the streets to protest at the imposition of French in schools and courts. But those protests soon took a political dimension, with thousands of English speakers taking to the streets on 1 October last year to declare the independence of a new country they called \"Ambazonia\". The government cracked down in response. Hundreds of people have been killed - at least 420 civilians, 175 military and police officers, and an unknown number of separatist fighters. More than 300,000 people have also been forced to flee their homes, according to the International Crisis Group. In addition, the economy of the region has been devastated. The Cameroon Development Corporation - the second-largest employer after the state - has lost 50% of its production, according to its Director General Frankline Njie. According to the IMF, Cameroon has lost more than 24 billion CFA francs ($42m; £32m) in 2018 alone as a result of the crisis. Mr Biya's repeated absences from the country have further riled his critics - the Organised Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP) estimates that the president spent nearly 60 days out of the country last year on private visits. Colonial roots - Cameroon's ongoing divisions: The fighting has left a trail of destruction and death. In May on a visit to the country's North-West region, I came face-to-face with the stark reality. Approaching the regional capital of Bamenda, you have to go through rigorous security controls. At Santa, a locality that borders the country's French-speaking West Region, a gun-toting mix of soldiers and police officers tell every passenger to step out of their buses, ID cards in hand. The next 500 metres or so must be travelled on foot. No chances are taken, because an \"Amba boy\" (separatist fighter) could be hidden among the passengers. But as you get out of town and into the villages, there is a sense that the government has lost control. The armed separatists have vowed to enforce a boycott of the 7 October election, raising fears of attacks on polling stations and a low turn-out in the mainly Anglophone areas. Control posts are now manned by rag-tag Ambazonia fighters. I came across one such post at Bambalang, some 20km (12 miles) from Bamenda. \"Where is your voter card?\" one of them asked me, waving a machete. I didn't have one because I'd been advised not to carry it on me, lest it be destroyed. The \"Amba Boys\" have been confiscating voters' cards and destroying them. Voter intimidation The authorities have taken seriously the separatists' threat to disrupt the poll. According to the head of Cameroon's electoral body Elecam, Erik Essousse, the number of polling stations has been reduced in the north West and South West Regions and others moved from turbulent zones to more secure areas. But the move has been criticised by the main opposition Social Democratic Front, which says it could disenfranchise voters unable to travel longer distances to the new polling centres. Despite the uncertainties, the campaign is gaining steam and creating suspense. \"It's over for Paul Biya,\" a supporter of the CRM party's Maurice Kamto tells the BBC, who then joins thousands of people in a chorus singing \"Goodbye Paul Biya, Kamto is coming.\" The sense of optimism is also expressed by Seralphine Neh, 22, who supports the election's youngest candidate, Cabral Libii. She sees the 38-year-old career journalist as the embodiment of a new kind of politics - one that is shifting the focus from \"a system of gerontocracy, to that of inclusion where the youth feel involved\". Find out more about Cameroon: But President Biya's supporters do not see things that way. Tatiana Nzana who sells CPDM gadgets in Yaoundé tells the BBC: \"We want someone with experience, with wisdom. We don't want ping-pong players. \"That's why we will continue to vote for him. Better the devil you know than the angel you don't know. Even after his death, he will still be president.\" In total, there are nine candidates in Cameroon's presidential elections. Parliamentary and municipal elections, meanwhile, have been postponed to October 2019 after the presidency and lawmakers cited organisational difficulties. President Biya himself has organised only one rally, in the country's North Region, where he praised the people for their resilience in the face of Boko Haram attacks. Security forces have been accused of using excessive force in their attempts to deal with both the Boko Haram insurgency to the north, and the Anglophone crisis to the west. A BBC investigation into a horrifying viral video which shows Cameroonian soldiers leading away and killing two women and two young children in northern Cameroon was initially dismissed by the government as \"fake news\". But Cameroon's government has since admitted that it has detained seven soldiers in connection with the killings. Speaking at his campaign rally in Maroua, President Biya blamed separatists for the Anglophone crisis but seemed to acknowledge their grievances, saying: \"Evidently, we still have to restore peace in our two regions of the North-West and the South-West, overburdened by secessionist exactions\". Mr Biya spoke of the need to satisfy the \"just demands\" of the country's English-speakers in order to demonstrate to them that their future lies in an undivided Cameroon. He had planned a similar rally in the restive South-West region, but suddenly called it off without further explanation. Observers have said he was wary of the separatist threat. Joshua Osih, a first-time candidate for the main opposition SDF party, has said he could resolve the problem within 100 days in office. He has made the radical proposal of a return to a federal structure of government. But it is not only the Anglophone crisis plaguing Cameroon. The Central African nation also suffers from a crisis of governance, illustrated by its undesirable position in 1998 and 1999 as the world's most corrupt nation, in Transparency international's rankings. One of the presidential challengers, Akere Muna - himself a former executive with the anti-graft body - has pledged, if elected, to focus on the fight against the scourge. \"Cameroon loses 40% of its revenue in corrupt practices. We have too many structures in the fight against corruption,\" Mr Muna has said. \"We are going to have one department - consolidated, that will do prevention, investigation, sanctioning, and prosecution and that will also be in charge of the recovery of assets.\" Despite the new faces and the unprecedented challenges, few expect 85-year-old Paul Biya to be rattled in the face of a splintered opposition.",

            "input": "By Mary McCoolBBC Scotland news It was a time when some local firms were reporting a surge in their workforce, with ambitions to recruit hundreds more across the 12 yards in the area. \"It was a dirty job,\" Gordon said. \"When I was working with asbestos we had two rubber suits and two masks for about 40 of us. \"You had a cloth you wiped it down with and that was it.\" Scott Lithgow - one of Inverclyde's largest shipbuilding employers - had increased its workers from 7,000 to 8,000 in the early 70s. Its managing director estimated that every household in Port Glasgow and Greenock \"depended\" on them for a livelihood. But Inverclyde faced growing competition, especially from abroad, and the yards began to close until now there is just one left and it was taken into public ownership last year. 'I loved the yards - I miss the way it was' Now 72, Gordon has spent years battling asbestosis - a chronic lung disease which results from inhaling asbestos particles. Between 1983 -2017, Inverclyde has the second highest mortality rate from asbestosis in Scotland after West Dunbartonshire, which includes the shipbuilding area of Clydebank. Despite his illness, Gordon felt relatively fit and enjoyed walking for miles outdoors before the coronavirus pandemic. But when Covid arrived in Scotland, he was among the first to be diagnosed. He spent nine weeks in hospital battling the virus - three of which were in intensive care. Gordon believes his pre-existing condition is to blame for how severely he was hit by coronavirus. But he still holds a great fondness for how the area used to be. \"I loved it,\" he said. \"I think it was the crowds and the atmosphere in the yards. \"As the yards slowly declined it became like a ghost town. It's so run-down and deprived, shops shut, buildings boarded up. I just kind of miss the way it was.\" Deprivation, unemployment and addiction Inverclyde is now an area of paradox - its sparkling coastline and rolling hills are not unlike neighbouring landscapes at Largs, Bute or Arran. But it also contains one of the most deprived communities in Scotland - and as a local authority, ranks very poorly in areas such as unemployment, drug use and crime. 'Glowing red on a map' Some experts now believe that these markers of poverty - influenced by a history of industrial decline - were clear warning signs that Inverclyde would be hardest hit by coronavirus. The local authority has been called Scotland's \"Covid capital\" - it has the highest death rate from coronavirus in Scotland (15.4 per 10,000) at double the national average (7.7 per 10,000). Inverclyde with a population of less than 80,000 has had 120 Covid deaths, similar to the number in the city of Aberdeen which is almost three times the size. Despite a slowing on virus deaths elsewhere, Inverclyde's death toll has increased for the third week in a row, according to National Records of Scotland figures. On average, people are twice as likely to die from Covid in places like Inverclyde as the most affluent areas of Scotland. Professor Jude Robinson, a public health expert, says this result was inevitable. \"The evidence is there,\" she said. \"When you know what the health difficulties are, the employment issues, the high levels of crime, drug use, of mental health issues, Inverclyde is glowing red on a map.\" She said: \"Why didn't we look around with all the public health expertise that we have in Scotland and identify Inverclyde - and a number of other communities in Scotland - as being significantly at risk? \"Mitigation and actually acknowledging a community at risk can go a long way to preventing the number of deaths and the community themselves feel valued, supported and do not feel left behind.\" Can Inverclyde recover? Knock-on effects are also starting to become clear, with a 30% surge in children being fed by Inverclyde Foodbank during lockdown, compared to the same time-frame last year. In many cases the third sector has stepped in to provide vital support to those most in need - including delivering meals, medication and counselling. Inverclyde council leader Stephen McCabe has praised the local response, saying the council delivered a \"joint effort\" with charities and has put \"structures in place\" such as provision of free school meals. However, the Labour councillor said Inverclyde has suffered \"a decade of austerity\". He said: \"I've been the leader of this council since 2007, we've been arguing for that period of time for more resources for areas like Inverclyde. \"I think the response locally has been fantastic. I think the strength of our community spirit has been demonstrated.\" You can watch more on Disclosure's Scotland's COVID Capital on BBC One Scotland on Monday 17 August at 19:30.",

He stepped in while the previous chief constable, Phil Gormley, was being investigated over allegations of gross misconduct. Mr Gormley quit in February despite continuing to deny any wrongdoing. Mr Livingstone will formally take up the post on 27 August, and will have a salary of £216,549. He will be responsible for leading Police Scotland's 22,000 officers and civilian staff. The force has an annual budget of more than £1bn. 'Policing has been my life' Mr Livingstone has been a deputy chief constable since Police Scotland was formed in 2013 having previously served with the Lothian and Borders force, where he was head of CID. He said he was \"extremely proud and humbled\" to be appointed to the top job on a permanent basis, and that \"policing has been my life and the demands on it are developing faster today than at any time in my career.\" Mr Livingstone added: \"It is my job now to lead and drive change in policing to adapt to those challenges and to build on the values, ethos and traditions of policing in Scotland that first attracted me to this profession 26-years ago.\" Mr Livingstone graduated in law from the Universities of Aberdeen and Strathclyde, working as a solicitor in Glasgow, Edinburgh and London before joining the police in 1992. His career has included external attachments to the Police Ombudsman for Northern Ireland as a special investigator, to Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary as a member of Lord Bonomy's review of corroboration, and he currently sits on the Scottish Sentencing Council. He was awarded the Queens Police Medal in May 2015, and had been widely regarded as the frontrunner for the chief constable job. But he has been at the centre of controversy in the past, with a female officer accusing him of sexually assaulting her at the Tulliallan police college in 2000. Mr Livingstone was suspended by the force before later admitting he had acted inappropriately by falling asleep in the woman's room, although he was cleared of any sexual misconduct. Mr Livingstone was initially demoted from superintendent to constable before being reinstated after an appeal. He told the BBC earlier this year that he had too much to drink at a social event at the college, and had fallen asleep \"in the wrong place\", adding: \"That was wrong, I shouldn't have done that\". 'Outstanding police leader' Mr Livingstone was one of three candidates who were put through a series of tests and interviews by the Scottish Police Authority (SPA) over a six week period. The process included a personality and psychometric evaluation conducted by a senior independent occupational psychologist. SPA chairwoman Susan Deacon described Mr Livingstone as an \"outstanding police leader who has made an exceptional contribution to policing in Scotland\". The appointment was welcomed by Scotland's justice secretary, Humza Yousaf, who said Mr Livingstone had \"demonstrated he has the right qualities to lead Police Scotland as the service continues to enhance its ability to tackle crime and keep people safe.\"",

The Official UK Afrobeats Top 20 will be announced on BBC Radio 1Xtra on Sunday. Mark Strippel,​ 1Xtra's head of programmes​ said the chart was \"much-needed and long overdue\". Afrobeats has quickly grown to dominate playlists and radio, with UK artists developing their own style and sound (Afroswing/Afro bashment) from its origins in west Africa. Young T & Bugsey's Don't Rush has been named the top Afrobeats track of the past year. An Afrobeats History The 's' in Afrobeats is crucial. Don't confuse it with Afrobeat - which was pioneered in the late 1960s by Nigerian artist and activist Fela Kuti. Fela and his drummer Tony Allen formed a movement when they fused funk and jazz with Ghanaian highlife, traditional Yoruba music and conscious lyrics. The 2010s saw the rise of another musical movement out of Nigeria with a completely different sound, dubbed Afrobeats. D'Banj's 2012 hit Oliver Twist, which reached number nine in the UK charts, was probably the first time the sound really took hold in the UK. Big tracks from Fuse ODG like Antenna and Azonto followed, but more recently in the UK, the lines have been blurred between sounds from the West Indies, London and West Africa. Brixton rapper Sneakbo's music hinted at the genesis to come at the start of the decade, and by the end of it artists like Yxng Bane and Not3s were at the forefront of what was being dubbed Afro bashment, or Afroswing. Along with the likes of NSG, Juls, Naira Marley and Afro B, they've helped popularise the sound in the UK - while J Hus and his producer JAE5 have arguably had the most success combining dancehall with West African sonics and black British genres and flows. Afrobeats reached new levels internationally when Drake featured Wizkid on 2016's One Dance. It's arguably not got too much of an Afrobeats sound - borrowing more from dancehall and UK funky house - but it put a spotlight on Wizkid and the genre he flies the flag for. Fuse ODG's spoken of wanting to create a new image of Africa through Afrobeats music too. His Tina movement - which stands for This Is New Africa - \"urges Africans in the Motherland and the diaspora to use their skills to rebuild their community and show the world the more beautiful side of Africa\". What information do we collect from this quiz? Privacy notice. An Afrobeats Hijack? In 2019, Afrobeats artists collectively spent 86 weeks in the Official Chart Top 40, up from 24 weeks in 2017. The number of tracks featuring a lead or featured Afrobeats act has also doubled in the same period, led predominantly by British artists. \"London is the home of Afrobeats outside of Africa,\" says Folabi Ogonkoya, who runs CocoCure - a venue dedicated to the genre. Born in Lagos, Folabi's been putting on Afrobeats nights in the UK for 13 years to reflect the music he enjoyed when he was growing up. \"I was listening to Afrobeats before it even had a name,\" he says. \"The parties started off a bit slow but they picked up as the genre got more popular and so I decided to stay in the UK. \" He says lots of British artists have \"hijacked\" Afrobeats in a good way, moving the music forward and increasing its popularity. \"The fans are huge now. At first it was Africans in the diaspora but now everyone's embraced it. Things have worked out for the best.\" From Manchester to London to Lagos Male artists dominate the Afrobeats scene but Manchester-born Ezi Emela is one of several female singers making their mark. \"I can see Afrobeats becoming the world's biggest musical genre soon,\" she says. Until January 2019, she was living in London but decided she wanted a change. During a holiday to Nigeria, she phoned her mum to tell her she was sticking around. \"My sounds has grown so much since I've been here,\" she tells Radio 1 Newsbeat, from her home in Lagos. Nigeria is her parents' birth country and Ezi says \"being in the actual continent where my genre stems from\" has given her \"a new juj\". \"In the UK, I don't think I was connected to the music and I felt I was faking it a little bit. \"I hadn't connected to the culture.\" She thinks every artist \"getting into the African swing of things\" should try to get to Africa at some point (travel restrictions permitting obviously). \"It's changed me a lot. It has changed my style. It has given me a lot of inspiration and it's all made a big difference to my music.\" The UK's Official Top 10 Afrobeats artists of the past 12 months are: Source: The Official Charts Company Follow Newsbeat on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.

Wearing green overalls, he was brought into the court in handcuffs. Four people were killed when a lorry was driven into a department store on Friday. A number of people were also injured, two critically. \"His position is that he admits to a terrorist crime and accepts therefore that he will be detained,\" said lawyer Johan Eriksson. A second man is no longer being held as a suspect, according to prosecution authorities, but he will not be released because he already had a deportation order standing against him. Security was tight and the press gallery was full, according to a BBC correspondent at the court session, which was conducted behind closed doors. Mr Akilov was told to remove a green blanket from his head before the hearing started. He will have certain restrictions placed on him while in custody, including not being able to use mobile communications. Swedish police said Mr Akilov was known to security services. He had been denied residency in Sweden and had expressed sympathy for so-called Islamic State (IS), they said. No group has claimed to be behind the attack. Mr Akilov reportedly ran from the scene of the attack, still covered in blood and glass, and was arrested hours later in a northern suburb of Stockholm. According to reports, he had left a wife and four children behind in Uzbekistan in order to earn money to send home. After applying for residency in 2014, he was informed in December 2016 that \"he had four weeks to leave the country\", police official Jonas Hysing said. He disappeared and, in February, was officially put on a wanted list. Responding to the attack, Swedish Justice Minister Morgan Johansson said he wanted to toughen the nation's terrorism laws. In an interview with AFP published on Monday, Mr Johansson specifically mentioned tackling the financing of terrorism and potential prison sentences for those \"dedicated to terrorism even if not connected to a specific crime\". \"We want to give the police the opportunity, without concrete suspicion of a crime, to go into workplaces to make sure that people who work there are in Sweden [legally],\" he added.

            "input": "By Daniel De SimoneBBC News The two killers had different motives - Port was a sexual predator, Matovu a prolific thief - but the same method: trawling gay dating apps such as Grindr, arranging sex, and then rendering their targets unconscious with surreptitious GHB doses. What can now be revealed is that the pair were also close associates. Matovu was arrested during the Port homicide investigation, and convicted of selling Port GHB. Matovu had actually drugged and stolen from the serial killer, and is suspected of being present at Port's flat when one of his surviving rape victims was drugged. Port, from Barking, east London, was sentenced to life in 2016 for the murders of four men and the rape or sexual assault of several others, with the deceased all having been given catastrophic drug overdoses. Local detectives failed to take a series of chances to catch him earlier, with the deaths not treated as suspicious until weeks after the final one. After Port was imprisoned, Matovu drugged and robbed his way across London, which ultimately resulted in the murder of 54-year-old father of three Eric Michels. His two sons are now calling for changes in how GHB is treated by the authorities. The drug is used by clubbers and in so-called chemsex, but is frequently implicated in instances of date rape. The brothers also question how Matovu's offending went unidentified despite several reports to police by his victims before the murder. Eric Michels, originally from Portland, Maine, studied acting before moving to the UK in 1987. He became a successful businessman, employed in a senior role at the energy company SSE, who sustained his love of showbusiness by using his spare time to appear in films and work as a magician. Described in court as an \"adoring father\", the divorcé had came out as gay relatively late in life. His two sons say their dad was caring, funny and loved by all. Sam Michels said: \"I'll never meet anyone like him ever again in my life and losing him has been like losing a limb\", while his brother Josh described the devastation as \"unbelievable\". It was the evening of 16 August last year when their father encountered Matovu on Grindr, a location-based app that allows contact between users who are close to one another. Mr Michels had been out in central London, visiting bars, when he began swapping messages with Matovu, who was at the Southwark hostel where he lived. Sex was arranged, with Matovu taking an Uber ride with Mr Michels to his home in Chessington, south-west London. CCTV images from a house opposite show them being dropped off soon after 2am. At 11am Matovu emerged to meet a taxi, carrying a suitcase with which he had not arrived, briefly going back inside to collect several bottles of alcohol before being driven away. Some time between those two events Matovu had administered a fatal overdose of GHB, using either a syringe - one was found at the scene - or by putting it in a drink. Certainly by 6:47am - the time of his first digital picture - Matovu felt relaxed enough to spend hours taking photos of his host's bank cards and passwords, as well as accessing private accounts on his laptop. Matovu then stole various possessions, including a mobile phone. When Mr Michels' teenage daughter texted him that night she received no response. Concerned, she texted again the next day and received a wholly uncharacteristic reply: \"Hello hun im a little busy talk soon\". A strange male answered when she called asking for her dad and immediately hung up after she gave her name. She went to her father's house, accompanied by her mother, and discovered his body. Police treated the death - which would eventually be attributed to GHB intoxication - as suspicious because of the stranger who answered the mobile. Detectives linked Matovu to the events using mobile phone technology and decided to visit a flat in east London occupied by his lover Brandon Dunbar. On arrival, they were met by a group of uniformed officers making inquiries in the aftermath of the discovery in the street of a bruised and naked unconscious man. Matovu was inside, surrounded by stolen items belonging to a series of victims. The thieves' digital devices contained pictures taken of credit cards and personal documents, which had been used to make various purchases. They spent money using Mr Michels' bank cards, something Dunbar continued to do even after Matovu was arrested. The naked man found in the street, who met the pair on Grindr, was injected with GHB, had his buttocks wounded with a blowtorch, was robbed, and then dumped on the pavement outside. He was the last of at least a dozen people preyed on by Matovu, often operating in tandem with Dunbar, with eight of those having been drugged in the process. Five of the men called police to say what happened, but the response was limited and did not identify those responsible. One had been drugged in his own home in December 2016 after inviting Matovu and Dunbar over, waking the next morning confused, drooling and hungover despite not having drunk alcohol for 10 years. The man's flatmate took a photo of the pair fleeing, with Matovu pictured wearing his victim's coat. Another was told to go home when he called 999 after becoming the victim of a distraction theft at an east London property then occupied by Dunbar. A different Londoner later reported a similar theft at his flat involving Matovu. A man from Kent, who had been drugged in his own home, called police to report being robbed following a visit by the two thieves. Then, in May last year, a Dutch businessman attended an east London police station to report being drugged and robbed in his hotel room. After drinking with a man from Grindr - now known to be Matovu - the next thing he recalled was waking in the early morning, unable to think properly, lying in a room stripped of all its effects. Matovu had stolen his personal possessions, torn a television from the wall, and even taken the toilet brush. A police officer advised him to attend hospital, which he did, before he returned to give a witness statement. There was suspicious activity on his bank cards, with one taxi ride booked from Matovu's own street. Despite the various investigative opportunities seemingly open to police, Matovu was not identified. Scotland Yard said, following the Port case, processes were put in place for \"frontline and investigating officers on how to best respond to allegations of drug-facilitated sexual assault or sexual assault following chemsex\". It added: \"Matovu and Dunbar's series of offences was different - drugging men to steal from them - and dealt with in the first instance by local police as theft. As with any major case, we will review the sequence of events to ensure each matter was properly investigated to identify any learning for the future.\" Matovu already had a criminal record and was known to be dangerous, in contrast to the online image he projected of a flamboyant \"visual artist\" who dreamed of being a model or television presenter. In July 2016 he was jailed for 18 months for using a hammer to attack and wound a one-time associate, but time spent on remand meant he was soon free. Then, in April 2017, he was sentenced to community service - despite having been convicted of drugs offences in the past - after admitting he had sold and offered GHB to Stephen Port. Detectives investigating Port had uncovered incriminating messages between the two men. The correspondence also showed Matovu and Dunbar had drugged the serial killer and stolen items from his flat. In garbled texts from October 2015, only days before his arrest for the four murders, Port messaged Matovu to say: \"Just get my stuff back or you will be taking the rap from police\". \"You gave me the pill knowing quite well its perpose\", Port informed him. When Matovu asked \"Please tell me u dropped the charges babes! I'm sorry,\" Port responded, \"Yes l did but l hope you dont do that again to anyone as its not only dangerose to give a mix of pills to someone but to then take there stuff is criminal\". \"I'm soo sorry and feel terrible I still want you to be my friend! X\", Matovu replied. Port's many victims were lured to his flat and given forced or surreptitious GHB doses, which allowed him to engage in his fetish for raping and sexually assaulting unconscious men. Although he killed alone, he was part of a network of people involved in so-called chemsex, which involves the use of drugs to facilitate sexual activity. Five Port associates, including Matovu, were arrested during the murder inquiry. One other drug dealer was jailed, with the further arrestees all held on suspicion of sexual offences, although none was convicted. Two had been charged - one with rape, the other with voyeurism - in relation to a video of an unconscious male being penetrated by the killer and the other alleged rapist while the third man watched, but the case was dropped after the complainant became the only person Port was cleared of raping. A person he was convicted of both drugging and raping - who visited the Barking flat in August 2015 - told Port's trial that two black men, including a drug dealer claiming to be a nurse, arrived at the address shortly before he was forcibly injected with a syringe, which happened while the visitors were in another room. Matovu - who often described himself as a nurse - and Dunbar are suspected of the being the pair. The victim described how, as he became dizzy but before he fell unconscious, Port permitted one of the men to join in with some sexual activity. Neither Matovu nor Dunbar was charged with any offence in connection with the incident. At his murder trial, Matovu accepted going to Chessington with Mr Michels to have sex, but denied administering GHB, claiming the dead man used his own supply and then fell asleep. He admitted a series of thefts, including from Mr Michels, but denied drugging anyone surreptitiously. However, he wilted under cross-examination, failing to explain earlier inconsistent statements or how he could have believed Mr Michels was merely sleeping while he spent hours taking photos and selecting what to steal from his victim's home. The Port and Matovu cases illustrate the danger posed by those who effectively weaponise GHB, as well as the inherent risks associated with its use. Jonathan Rees QC, who prosecuted both murder trials, did not do so on the basis that either man meant to kill when administering GHB, but rather intended to cause \"really serious bodily harm\" by placing people in drug-induced comas. Both men knew the jeopardy they were creating, Port progressively so as he killed again and again, Matovu fully aware of everything done by his friend. Det Insp Mark Richards, who led the Matovu inquiry and worked on the Port one, said \"GHB in itself, without using it as a weapon, is an incredibly dangerous drug.\" He added \"tiny amounts can kill\" and it can place you into a \"deep unconsciousness, messing with your central nervous system, and that unconsciousness has caused respiratory failure and death on many, many occasions\". Originally produced for medical purposes, GHB is a Class C prohibited drug that comes as a colourless and odourless liquid or a powder that is usually dissolved in water. It is closely related to GBL, sold as an industrial cleaner, that converts to GHB in the body and is only classed as a controlled narcotic when it is knowingly intended for human consumption. GHB - sometimes referred to as \"liquid ecstasy\" - can lead to feelings of euphoria in very small doses, but in only slightly larger amounts can cause unconsciousness and death. It is not routinely tested for after death or even when people think they may have been drugged. In the Matovu case, for example, the Dutch businessman who was drugged in his hotel did not have a sample taken at hospital even though staff acknowledged it might have helped the police. Mr Michels' sons want all crimes relating to GHB to be investigated in full. They also hope for greater public awareness of the drug and would like to see it reclassified. Sam Michels said: \"Anything involving GHB in the future should be taken very, very seriously and investigated every time.\" He added: \"I didn't know what GHB was before any of this happened and so everything I've discovered about what it could do to people - rendering them unconscious and how it can be used against them - has been news to me.\" Josh Michels argues it should be at least a Class B drug, recalling \"when we found out it was a Class C and such a minuscule amount can do so much damage, we were quite shocked\". He believes that Matovu - a \"complete and utter coward\" - could have been stopped after the earlier reports about people being drugged and stolen from. \"We definitely think there could have been more done to prevent this from happening. When it was reported the first time it should have been followed up a lot more, I think, and especially when it happened the second, third, fourth time.\" He thinks the fact Matovu was quickly arrested after the murder shows he could have been identified: \"It's just a shame my dad had to die for them to go and find him, basically. \"We don't want any family to go through this ever again.\"",

Twenty-two people died in the attack on 22 May 2017. Mr Holyland said Abedi's \"loitering\", the way he was dressed and his multiple visits would have been indicators. He told the inquiry security staff had been taught how to identify such behaviours in their SIA training. Abedi initially visited the arena's foyer for 20 minutes and then returned later, hiding in an \"out-of-the-way\" place for an hour in a CCTV blind spot, the court heard. The 22-year-old, dressed all in black and carrying a large rucksack, had been reported to security by a member of the public at 22:15. Security guard Kyle Lawler earlier told the inquiry he had a \"bad feeling\" about Abedi but did not approach him for fear of being branded a racist. Mr Holyland said: \"The training focuses on behaviour not features such as ethnicity. \"There were behaviours [from Abedi] that identify as suspicious\", he said, adding: \"Loitering, being incorrectly dressed for the time of year, and multiple sightings of the same person.\" Abedi detonated his bomb at 22:31 as fans left the Ariana Grande concert. The court was told he was seen praying before the explosion but Mr Holyland said he was not aware of praying being classed as a suspicious activity. Earlier, Michelle Russell from the SIA said the authority did not distinguish between bag checks and bag searches but she believed a bag check would require a staff member to hold a licence. Security staff have previously told the inquiry the instruction on the night of the bombing was a 100% bag check. \"If the activity is wholly or partly responsible for determining suitability of admission it would be potentially be caught by the legislation,\" she said. Ms Russell also said the authority licensed individuals but businesses could become approved contractors on a voluntary basis. CCTV blind spots The inquiry also heard evidence about the CCTV system that was in operation in the City Room where the bomb was detonated. Mike Cowley, from Manchester Arena operator SMG, previously said in a statement that in his view \"the CCTV system was a good system\". \"The images were good, the functionality met the needs of the operation and it was a reliable system,\" he told the inquiry. But the inquiry head there was a CCTV blind spot on the mezzanine level of the City Room where someone sitting down would not be captured by the cameras. \"I don't believe it was an area of concern,\" he told the inquiry. \"The area, when events were occurring, was physically manned so there were multiple sets of eyes and cameras that covered maybe 95% of the area.\" The inquiry continues.

When inappropriate profiles were blocked or reported, some would reappear with a different account, sources told the BBC. \"During lockdown, the messages have gotten really creepy,\" said Sara Faye, who has sold her clothes on Depop for years. \"They always want to know how many times it has been worn and if it is dirty.\" Ms Faye used to post images of herself in the clothes on the platforms but has now stopped because of the messages. \"Don't message me on an innocent second-hand website, just because you can see a hot girl in the photos,\" she added. \"It feels like a violation, you should be able to sell your clothes online without getting harassed.\" Sellers were sometimes offered additional money for used clothing or explicit images. Jennifer Savin - a Cosmopolitan features writer, who recently investigated the topic - was offered £5 for more than 50 intimate images after posting items on eBay. \"I think there are a lot of users out there, just trying their luck,\" she told the BBC. \"Who knows if they'd even pay up if they were to be sent the explicit content in the first place?\" One online seller, who relies on the profits made on these platforms for a living, said \"it was a balance between feeling safe and needing the money.\" Established clothing brands have also reported receiving inappropriate messages and requests on Facebook and Instagram. Lovely's Vintage Emporium sells vintage clothes and receives many such comments every week. \"I get a lot of messages about the model, especially if there are shirts with close-up images,\" said owner Lynnette Peck. \"I had a fetishist asking what [shoes] smelt like, who wore them and if I could take a photo of myself wearing them.\" She has now stopped selling certain items on the website, after receiving explicit photographs through Facebook Messenger. Naomi Edmondson, who runs lingerie brand Edge o'Beyond, said the business was \"constantly bombarded with creepy comments from men\", often asking for sex. \"We get so many creepy messages and comments it's too time-consuming to report them all,\" she said. \"A few times I have felt concerned for safety. \"We create lingerie to empower women, we do not welcome the minority of men who think it's acceptable to send explicit pictures.\" Some of the women the BBC spoke to said they hadn't reported the messages because they were \"embarrassed\", \"ashamed\" or \"didn't want to risk losing their accounts\". Others successfully blocked and reported profiles. Facebook, Instagram, Depop and eBay all said they take these kinds of messages seriously and would take action against those who violated policy. They all urged users to report and block any accounts which break the rules. Facebook - which also owns Instagram - said it has built a \"global safety and security team as well as powerful technology\" to remove accounts as quickly as possible. Depop said it aims to respond to 95% reports of inappropriate behaviour within three hours, during business hours. Private message 'loophole' \"The issue of women receiving creepy messages when selling clothes online is not a new phenomenon,\" said Jo O'Reilly, digital privacy expert at ProPrivacy. \"This is particularly concerning because to sell on most popular online selling platforms, including eBay and Depop, it is mandatory for users to provide a postal address - likely to be their home address.\" Users could provide a fake address, Ms O'Reilly suggested. But that is technically against the terms and conditions of most selling platforms. \"The very nature of selling second-hand clothes means that sellers will often post photos of themselves wearing the items,\" she says. \"That can, unfortunately, attract unwanted attention from buyers who might wish to buy worn clothes rather than just second-hand items.\" Although sites restrict the selling of certain used items, such as underwear, private messaging provides a \"loophole\", she added.",

Poland's defence ministry said the brigade would be based in the eastern Polish city of Lublin but the soldiers would remain in their home countries. Poland and Lithuania are eager to bolster defences following Russia's annexation of Ukraine's Crimean peninsula earlier this year. Russia sent thousands of troops to the peninsula in March, eventually forcing Ukrainian soldiers to withdraw. Shortly afterwards, pro-Russian separatists in Ukraine's eastern Donetsk and Luhansk regions declared their independence. More than 3,000 people have died in fighting between Ukrainian government forces and separatists since April. Peacekeeping role A spokesman for the Polish defence ministry said work to form the joint unit with Ukraine and Lithuania first began in 2007, adding that it would operate under the guidance of the UN, Nato and the EU. The unit would participate in peacekeeping missions, the spokesman added, but no details were given on any potential role in Ukraine's conflict. Earlier this week, soldiers from Poland and Lithuania joined about 1,300 soldiers from 15 countries - including the US and other Nato members - in military exercises in western Ukraine. In response, Russia's Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu said it must boost its forces in Crimea to counter the presence of Western troops in Ukraine. Also on Friday, Nato defence chiefs agreed to set up regional centres in several Eastern European countries, during a meeting Lithuania's capital Vilnius. Lithuania's chief of defence Jonas Vytautas Zukas said the \"command-and-control\" centres would be launched in Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Poland and Romania and would each employ up to 120 military personnel, Meanwhile, Sweden said on Friday that it had lodged a complaint with Russia's ambassador in Stockholm about two Russian fighter planes entering Swedish airspace. Swedish officials said the jets had briefly violated Swedish airspace on Wednesday near the eastern island of Oland. In another diplomatic row, Lithuania said it had summoned Russia's ambassador to Vilnius after a Lithuanian fishing vessel was detained by Russian authorities earlier this week.",

US-led forces have launched more than 200 air strikes against Islamic State (IS) militants in Iraq since August and on Monday began targeting IS in Syria. The UK parliament is due to vote on possible air strikes in Iraq on Friday. IS - also known as Isil or Isis - has seized large parts of Iraq and Syria in recent months. Mr de Kerchove said the number of 3,000 included all those who have been to the region, including those who have returned and those who have been killed there. The CIA estimates that IS may have up to 31,000 fighters in Iraq and Syria - three times as many as previously feared. Mr de Kerchove said that Islamic State's declaration of a caliphate in June may have played a role in drawing more support from Europe. \"If you believe in this, probably you want to be part of it as early as possible,\" he said. He warned that air strikes by the US and its Western allies had increased the risk of a violent response from militant Islamists against European targets. \"That was clear with the French because three days ago [IS] issued a statement saying there would be retaliation against the coalition. A French man was kidnapped in Algeria and he has been beheaded. So they did what they announced,\" he said. Where do Islamic State's foreign fighters come from? Mr de Kerchove also warned that groups competing with IS, such as al-Qaeda, may try to launch attacks in Europe to maintain their profile. \"The rise of [IS] may prompt al-Qaeda to do something to show that it is still relevant,\" he said. Suspects arrested On Friday, Spain's interior ministry said Spanish and Moroccan police had arrested nine people suspected of belonging to a militant cell linked to the IS group. A statement from the ministry said the suspects belonged to a group based in the Spanish enclave of Melilla, on the northern coast of Africa, and the neighbouring town of Nador, in Morocco. One of those arrested is reported to be Spanish; the rest are Moroccan nationals. Earlier this week, the UN Security Council adopted a binding resolution compelling states to prevent their nationals from joining jihadists in Iraq and Syria. The US military released footage of air strikes on IS-controlled oil refineries in eastern Syria on Thursday, carried out by US, Saudi and UAE aircraft. Sales of smuggled crude oil have helped finance the jihadists' offensive in both countries. Three new strikes targeting IS positions in Deir al-Zour in eastern Syria were confirmed by the US on Friday morning. The UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which monitors the conflict in Syria, said the new strikes caused casualties but the numbers were unclear. Pentagon spokesman Rear Admiral John Kirby said the purpose of Thursday's strikes was \"not necessarily to kill militants\" but to destroy the oil facilities, which were funding IS through the black market. He said the strikes had been effective but not yet decisive, adding that IS militants \"still have financing at their fingertips\". He said it was too soon to talk of \"winning\" against IS, adding that they still \"have plenty of weapons and vehicles and the ability to move around\". UK votes on action The US says more than 40 countries have offered to join the anti-IS coalition. The Danish government announced on Friday it would be joining the military operations against IS - but only in Iraq. Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt said the move needed to be approved in a vote in Denmark's parliament, but said it was considered a formality. No date was given for the vote. She told reporters the deployment would consist of seven F-16 fighter jets - four operational planes and three in reserve - along with 250 pilots and support staff. MPs in the UK are currently debating joining the air strikes on IS in Iraq. The office of Prime Minister David Cameron said UK forces could legally join the bombing of targets in Iraq after the Iraqi minister of foreign affairs wrote to the UN seeking international assistance. Mr Cameron told the UN on Wednesday IS was an \"evil against which the whole world must unite\". The Australian Prime Minister, Tony Abbott, says his government will decide in the coming days whether to join the air strikes in Iraq and Syria. Mr Abbott said it was in Australia's interest to play its part in what he called the fight \"against the murderous death cult\". Who are Islamic State (IS)?",

A BBC investigation revealed what were described as the \"unnecessary\" deaths of six babies at Crosshouse Hospital. The Scottish government said some of the campaigners' claims were wrong. The final report of a review - ordered by Health Secretary Shona Robison - into the baby deaths at the Kilmarnock hospital is due to be published soon. Families involved heard the key findings of the review last week , with some saying they were \"disappointed\" by the report which included recommendations for improvements within NHS Ayrshire and Arran. They were also told the final version of the report from Healthcare Improvement Scotland (HIS), expected to be made public later this month, is to include national recommendations for better training in maternity services. The letter from ASAP-NHS (Action for a Safe and Accountable People's NHS) to Nicola Sturgeon requests a public inquiry and immediate action \"to secure the safety of mothers and babies in the care of Scottish maternity units\". It said: \"Currently, the approach of the Scottish government to the safety of babies and mothers, fails to meet the UK-wide statutory requirements. Presently, the Scottish government operates a healthcare service, which is unregulated; that in itself, is a breach of statutory law.\" 'Room for improvement' The group said it had provided the Scottish government with three reports it has compiled \"based on extensive evidence\" that supported its calls for action and an inquiry. Responding to the letter, Ms Robison said: ‎\"The safety of mothers and their babies is of paramount importance. \"At the heart of any incident is a family that is suffering from pain or loss, which is why we must do everything we can to mitigate against similar incidents happening again.‎ \"We have a number of initiatives already in place to get to the root of these problems and upgrade that service, but clearly there is still room for improvement. \"However, some of the claims being made are clearly wrong and without foundation, so we will be focusing on areas for change which can make a genuine difference.\"",

            "input": "By Tim MastersEntertainment correspondent, BBC News The statistics relate to more than 600 British films released in cinemas between 2003-2010. They showed lower budget films - such as those made for less than £2m - were less likely to make a profit (4%). The figure improves as budgets rise - with 17% of films that cost more than £10m making their money back. But British film director Paul Greengrass says the figures do not not tell the whole story. Speaking at the British Independent Film Awards (Bifa), he described the British film industry as a \"success story\" and predicted it would continue to see international growth - especially in China. A BFI spokesperson said the 7% figure included \"tiny budget films that, while commercial success is always hoped for, are successful and beneficial to the industry for other reasons like skills and training development and for artistic and cultural importance\". Greengrass told the BBC on Sunday night the 17% figure for higher budget films was approximately the same rate of profitability as Hollywood. \"I'm not saying it can't be improved, but it's always been the case,\" he said. \"In the heart of Hollywood, it's the big movies - the big franchise movies - that pay for all the rest of the productions. \"No film industry in the world works on the basis that 100% of the movies are going to make money.\" He went on: \"This is a success story. With success comes choices and a need to continue to build growth and sustainability. \"We're nowhere near where we were in the '80s when we were trapped in low budget British film-making, with films that no-one wanted to go and see.\" Greengrass, whose most recent film is the US-backed Somali piracy thriller Captain Phillips, said he hoped more could be done to get British films in cinemas, with more promotion on TV and internationally. He was also positive about a China-UK co-production treaty, which he predicted would open up a huge new audience for British films. \"This is a big industry,\" he said. \"It's right up as one of the leading industries in this country in terms of revenue creation, and job creation and growth and opportunity.\" 'Leagues ahead' Also at the Bifa awards, best actor winner James McAvoy said he was \"really proud\" that Filth, which he co-produced, had managed to make £4m at the box office - more than twice its budget. \"An independent film managed to get people to come and see it without a studio and without hundreds of millions of dollars of advertising money. That's remarkable - it means British film can do it on its own.\" He said $100m (£61m) movies that \"sometimes aren't very good\" had an advantage over smaller films because they had a massive budget to sell the film. \"Films like Filth can be leagues ahead of the $100m movie, but they've got no money to get a poster in the paper. So who's going to come and see them? \"Maybe VOD [video-on-demand] is going to change everything because the distributor and the studio might become less important.\" In July this year, Ben Wheatley's film A Field in England was the first UK film to be released simultaneously in cinemas, on DVD, on TV and through video-on-demand. Wheatley's \"psychedelic trip\", set during the English Civil War, took more than £21,000 at the box office on the same weekend it was available free of charge on Film 4. It also sold more then 2,000 copies on DVD over the same period. The film was made on a modest budget of £300,000. Wheatley, whose previous films include Sightseers, Kill List and Down Terrace, said the release model was an appropriate way to maximise audience figures for a film made on such a small budget. John Giwa-Amu, producer of the forthcoming sci-fi thriller The Machine, said VOD was one of the distribution options he was investigating to accompany the film's limited theatrical release on 21 March, 2014. His movie, which was filmed in Wales and stars Toby Stephens as a scientist working on a top secret artificial intelligence project, won the Raindance independent film award on Sunday night. The movie's director, Caradog James, said: \"The toughest thing is you make a good film but can you get it to reach an audience? It's events like this and individuals who champion independent cinema that give us a profile and any chance of a mass audience.\" In order to find investors in the project Giwa-Amu and James pitched their movie idea to \"Dragon's Den-style\" gatherings of millionaires around the country. Money eventually came in from a Swansea-based backer along with a job creation grant from the Welsh Assembly, while the Film Agency for Wales funded some test footage to showcase the film's special effects. 'Tearing their hair out' The BFI says the UK's export film industry is the second strongest in the world after Hollywood. Profitability figures, it adds, do not necessarily reflect the whole value chain of a film's life and don't take into account the long tail profit and life of a film which can \"continue for decades\". It also says the commercial landscape is changing and the VOD market has increased by 50% last year. \"I'm very excited by where we are,\" said Greengrass. \"It's an endless debate. You'll find people who say it's a nightmare in the British film industry. I'm not one of those. I think that it's transformed from where it was 25 years ago. \"I'm not minimising the problems. There will be producers and directors out there tearing their hair out because of problem of access to production finance or access to distribution. \"But what we've got in Britain that is unique on the global stage is a vibrant domestic UK independent production arena which, for all its difficulties, is still making very good films that are internationally acclaimed year after year. \"We also have, on the other hand, tremendously vibrant international film-making in the UK. You can't get a sound stage in this country for the movies that want to come in here. \"The challenge of the next three to five years is to get those two sections of the film industry to cross-fertilise in ways that generate growth for our film industry.\"",

Transport for London (TfL) pulled the campaign, claiming it breached its advertising policy because it could have caused widespread offence. A judicial review of TfL's decision is being heard at the High Court. 'Closely fought race' The advert, also paid for by Christian group Anglican Mainstream, was due to appear on 24 London buses as a riposte to one by gay rights organisation Stonewall, which ran last April reading: \"Some people are gay. Get over it!\" The Core Issues Trust advert was due to read: \"Not Gay! Ex-Gay, Post-Gay and Proud. Get over it!\". Paul Diamond, counsel for Core Issues Trust, said the use of the London transport system for one point of view the government approved the British public should hear was \"frightening\" and \"unlawful\". He argued Core Issues Trust had as much right as Stonewall to have its viewpoint aired under article 10 of the European Convention of Human Rights for freedom of expression. Mr Diamond claimed the decision to not run the advert after it had been approved by the Committee for Advertising Practice was political because it was close to the London Mayoral election. He said: \"It was a trigger issue and it was a very close fought race.\" He likened TfL to the Russian government, giving only one side the right to advocate its cause. He said that although an article on the Guardian's website reporting the advert had been cancelled garnered 800 comments, TfL received only 37 complaints. Dr Davidson, co-director of the Core Issues Trust, has asked Mrs Justice Lang to rule the ban was unlawful and \"a deep threat\" to democratic freedoms. Although Boris Johnson publicly endorsed the removal of the advert at the time, TfL has said it was a decision taken by the transport authority, not the mayor. A TfL spokesman said: \"The advertisement breached TfL's advertising policy as, in our view, it contained a publicly controversial message and was likely to cause widespread offence to members of the public. \"This view was borne out by the high number of complaints we received about the ad and the large number of negative comments on social media and newspaper websites.\" Nigel Pleming QC representing TfL disputed Dr Davidson's right to come before the court as a victim because he was not identified on the bus advert. Mrs Justice Lang ruled the application could be made on behalf of the Core Issues Trust instead. The hearing continues.",

            "input": "By Alex ForsythPolitical correspondent, BBC News Reports of students having grades downgraded soon piled up, including bright pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds whose compelling personal stories quickly proved politically toxic. In the face of mounting pressure the government performed a wholesale U-turn, but not before some - including backbench Tory MPs - questioned what political damage was being done to a party that had pledged to 'level-up' across the country and prides itself on an ethos of \"hard work pays off\". Senior Labour figures certainly believe it has cost the Conservatives. On a visit to a London high school on Wednesday, shadow treasury minister Wes Streeting repeatedly claimed people were more angry about the exams episode than they were about Dominic Cummings' well-documented trip to Durham during lockdown, citing an inbox \"inundated\" with emails. Such assertions have been disputed by some Tory MPs, but one student present did say the handling of exam grades had influenced his political view. Tarun Odedra, 18, said: \"I'm going to be a politics student, I've read so much into the government. I actually voted for them in the election. \"It's completely made me change my mind as to what I think of them. If I do pursue a career in politics in the future, it most definitely won't be for the government that's in power right now.\" It isn't only the Conservative Party which has struggled with grading in lieu of exams; Labour, the SNP, the DUP, Sinn Fein and even the Liberal Democrats have faced similar issues where they govern in the UK. But Labour, sensing a public backlash against the Westminster government, began a concentrated digital campaign. In the past week the party had 2,700 Facebook adverts running - more I'm told than in the entire 2019 general election campaign. They were designed to tap into anger the party says it picked up on social media among parents and young people, and were targeted specifically at marginal seats and former Labour strongholds that voted Tory last year - the so-called \"former red wall\". Rother Valley, in South Yorkshire, is a former mining community which voted Conservative in 2019. Its MP, Alexander Stafford, did raise concerns with ministers about the original grading system after receiving emails from teachers, constituents and pupils; one of a number of Tory backbenchers to do so. But he - like some of his colleagues - believes the government's U-turn was enough to take the sting out of the issue. He said: \"What I'm hearing on the doorstep clearly, is that people understand the government has listened to people and wants to move on. \"People appreciate this is a once in a generation global pandemic. We are all learning as we go along. And you know, it's great the government has listened to what people are saying, and no student is going to miss out after this.\" A snapshot of views in South Yorkshire suggests opinion is divided. At the Vintage Booth, a tearoom in Maltby within the Rother Valley constituency, Mo Deeley, who voted Conservative in 2019 despite her Labour tradition, still has faith in the government. \"I think they've done as good as they could possibly do. Yeah, they've made mistakes, but as good as they possibly could do in the situation that we're in. Nobody expected this in 2020, nobody.\" Her colleague, Claire Mallory, has a similar view, saying: \"It's very uncertain times and probably, you know the government has made mistakes. \"But I think anybody who was in government would have made those mistakes because it was a whole brand new situation.\" But not far away at Dinnington High, a local school, Principal Rebecca Staples fears the whole episode may have dented the confidence of some of the most disadvantaged students. She said: \"We promised them that education would open them doors and give them choices for the future. \"And actually, there was a real risk all of that was going to be stripped away and to even have a week of that worry is too much, because that's enough to shake people. \"I think for all students, they will felt really let down by this, it will feel to them like a broken promise.\"",

Pupils at Ysgol Gymraeg Ystalafera, a Welsh-medium secondary school near Neath, said children - sometimes as young as 11 - were vaping for a number of reasons. \"I believe that when they see the older pupils in the school experimenting with all these different types of vape, they think it's how to fit in,\" one pupil said. The different flavours were another reason for their popularity with children, according to some. \"They definitely appeal to a younger market, so much like alcopops were for younger children,\" a pupil explained. Another added: \"You see videos going viral of people vaping and making shapes out of the smoke and stuff like that and I think it just attracts a younger audience that thinks it's cool.\" Pupils also thought it was easy to buy vaping products, despite the age restriction. To test that, X-Ray sent sixteen-year-olds Rory and Anthony to Newport fitted with secret cameras to see how many shops would illegally sell them vaping products. Some shops did ask for ID, but half of the 20 they visited sold vaping products labelled \"highly addictive\" and \"over-18s only\" without checking their age. One even sold illegal vape liquid with no proper labelling for just 50p. Prof Martin McKee, a public health expert from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, said he was concerned about the \"real risk of a nicotine-addicted generation\". \"What this demonstrates very clearly is that the rules are simply not being applied,\" he added. Dan Marchant, of industry body UKVIA, added: \"We've got very clear guidelines that you do not allow members to market products to under-18s.\" X-Ray is on BBC One Wales at 19:30 BST on Monday, 1 April and will then be available on the BBC iPlayer.",

He had been there since April 1972 for the murder of a prison guard. Maintaining his innocence in the death of Brent Miller, Woodfox, 69, was finally freed after accepting the lesser charge of manslaughter. The plea bargain was negotiated with state prosecutors. Twice in decades of legal battles, his murder conviction was thrown out of court, yet Louisiana state prosecutors were preparing to try him a third time. He finally agreed to plead no contest to lesser charges in exchange for freedom but insisted this was not an admission of guilt. \"Although I was looking forward to proving my innocence at a new trial, concerns about my health and my age have caused me to resolve this case now and obtain my release with this no contest plea to lesser charges,\" he said in a statement on Friday. \"I hope the events of today will bring closure to many.\" How do you survive solitary confinement? Before driving off from Feliciana Parish Detention Center, in St Francisville, with his brother, Woodfox told media he wanted to visit his mother's gravesite. She died while he was in prison and Woodfox said he had not been allowed to go to the funeral. At the time of Mr Miller's death, Woodfox was in Louisiana's notorious Angola prison for armed robbery and assault. He was accused of grabbing the guard from behind while others stabbed him with a lawnmower blade and a hand-sharpened prison knife. Woodfox was placed in solitary and ordered to be kept on \"extended lockdown\" every 90 days for decades. His lawyers say he was confined to his cell for 23 hours a day. The other members of the \"Angola Three\", Robert King and Herman Wallace, were released in 2001 and 2013 respectively. Wallace, also convicted over Mr Miller's murder, died soon after his release pending a new trial. King's conviction was overturned. Woodfox and Wallace were involved with the Black Panthers, a militant black rights movement formed in 1966 for self-defence against police brutality and racism.",

            "input": "By Navin Singh KhadkaEnvironment correspondent, BBC World Service They say warming in the Alps has thinned ice and snow cover, resulting into frequent rock-falls and landslides. Their concerns were voiced at a meeting of the International Climbing and Mountaineering Federation this week. Melting glaciers have also added challenges for mountaineers. Climbing routes have either had to be abandoned or changed because of the increased risks. In some places, climbing seasons have had to be brought forward. What do the scientists say? A study of mountaineering plans for climbers in the Mont Blanc massif showed numerous changes. Almost all climbing \"itineraries\" for the region had been affected since the 1970s and a few routes no longer existed. In the journal Arctic, Antarctic and Alpine Research, Jacques Mourey from the University of Grenoble Alpes and colleagues wrote: \"Moreover, periods during which these itineraries can be climbed in good conditions in summer have tended to become less predictable and periods of optimal conditions have shifted toward spring and fall, because the itineraries have become more dangerous and technically more challenging.\" A 2017 study of several summits in the Mont Blanc massif by a French team showed significant degradation of permafrost between 1850 and 2015. This led to the slopes becoming unstable, causing rockfalls. Findings from a study in the Austrian Alps have been similar. \"Many of these routes have become extremely dangerous,\" Florian Ritter, from the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences in Vienna, and colleagues wrote recently in the journal BioOne Complete. \"Numerous classical ice climbs in the Eastern Alps have become heavily affected by rockfall and falling stones, as well due to rocks melting out at the ice margins... during late summer and autumn.\" The Austrian research also pointed to other factors. \"While the described processes related to global warming might increase the potential, events are generally triggered by other processes that are less linked to global warming, such as extreme rain events,\" it said. Analysis of guidebooks written for those climbing in the Bernese Alps, Switzerland, confirms the changes. \"In the climbing guides, multiple generations of climbers noted the climbing dangers for whole mountain ranges,\" said co-author Arnaud Tremme, a geographer with Wageningen University in the Netherlands. \"The oldest guide out of the dozens of guides used in the research was written 146 years ago, this allowed us to record the changes for a longer period and link these with climate change.\" For the past 10 years, a network of wireless sensors on Mount Matterhorn in the Alps has been streaming data on the condition of steep rock faces, permafrost and prevailing climate. \"Based on the data we have received, we see that the rate of change is quite fast,\" said Jan Beutel, a Zurich-based researcher, who leads the monitoring project. \"As a result, some of the places can't be visited anymore.\" New conditions in New Zealand A study on Aoraki Mount Cook in New Zealand also highlighted difficulties for climbers. Climbers here have to navigate the Tasman Glacier, but this is now becoming more difficult because it's melting. \"One of the interesting results of our study was the spatial variability associated with climate change - the impacts are greater at lower elevations, but much higher on the mountains. Because of the large seasonal snowfall, the effects are somewhat buffered,\" Heather Purdie, one of the authors of a study on the mountain told the BBC. Climbers' confirmation Mountain guides say routes are now becoming more challenging and they have had to adapt. \"Rockfalls are becoming the biggest challenge,\" says Christian Trommsdorff, president of the International Federation of Mountain Guides Associations. \"Although impacts of the changing climate differ; on some mountains they are massive, while on others they are not.\" Professional mountaineers in the US say some peaks in the Pacific Northwest that still have glaciated terrain have become increasingly hazardous. In some cases, it is no longer possible for mountaineers to climb them. \"The combination of crevasses becoming un-crossable, overhead icefall hazard increasing and rockfall events occurring regularly has made many classic routes more dangerous and less predictable,\" said Angela Hawse, president of the American Mountain Guides Association. Although few studies along these lines have been conducted in the Himalayas, mountain guides in the region say climbing is becoming riskier. They say wearing crampons on thin ice and exposed rocks is particularly dangerous. \"It becomes like wearing (ladies') high heels on a marble surface,\" says Tshering Pande Bhote, vice president with the Nepal Mountain Guides Association. \"When there is enough snow and ice, the crampons get their grip but now that is becoming less and less available.\" Nepalese mountain guides say that widening crevasses are also becoming a threat. \"We have noticed that the gaping of crevasses, mainly underneath the surface, are increasing and it appears that is happening because of accelerated melting,\" said Mr Bhote. A number of studies in the Himalayas, mainly in the Everest region, have shown that glaciers there are fast retreating. The Khumbu glacier, that Everest climbers must cross before their ascent, has seen several ponds forming on it and joining up because of its rapid melt. Training for guides The annual meeting of the International Federation of Climbing and Mountaineering in Cyprus will also be discussing how to operate in the changing circumstances. Mr Trommsdorff agreed that the changing nature of different routes needed to be included in training mountain guides. \"We are starting to do something in this regard but we need more of research and development support,\" he said. \"But we also adapt very well to such changes.\"",

Transport for London (TfL) said it would save £50m annually as it tries to save £4.2bn by 2020. But Manuel Cortes, from the TSSA union, said London Mayor Boris Johnson was \"rushing through\" the closures. Mr Cortes, leader of the Transport Salaried Staffs Association said: \"Talks on the safety implications of closing over 250 stations have not even been concluded. \"The mayor doesn't seem concerned about how millions of tourists will cope with fewer staff to help them on their way.\" TfL said all stations would remain staffed and 150 new ticket machines would be installed by April 2016. It added that new visitor centres would be created at larger stations such as Victoria and King's Cross to help visitors. Nick Brown, London Underground's chief operating officer, said more staff were being placed \"where they can offer the best possible assistance\" as only 3% of Tube tickets were bought at ticket offices. He said: \"This forms part of our wider vision for the Tube, which includes a 24-hour weekend service on core parts of the network.\" But the changes have led to previous strikes by the Aslef and RMT unions. Labour's London Assembly transport spokeswoman Val Shawcross said: \"When he was elected, Boris Johnson promised Londoners he would protect the capital's ticket offices, but today he starts the process of dismantling each and every one of them. \"Whilst there is obviously a big role for ticket machines to play, there is no substitute for a member of staff.\" London Underground said after 100 meetings with unions the number of roles to be reduced had fallen from 950 to 897 with no member of staff facing compulsory redundancy or losing money.",

The reform will finally force companies to prove who their directors are. Experts on corruption and white collar crime say billions of pounds of illicit profits are laundered through the lax Companies House system every year. While the announcement has been roundly welcomed by campaigners, it's not clear when the change will be implemented because it will require legal changes to be passed in Parliament. What is Companies House? Companies House is the UK's register of firms, their directors and the significant shareholders who control the business. The register is such an important part of global business, it is searched million of times a day by people who need information on British companies. But despite its importance to assuring the legitimacy of trade, directors don't need to prove who they actually are. For years critics have said that this basic lack of identity-checking has allowed global criminal networks to make the UK the go-to destination for swift and invisible money-laundering. Organised crime gangs set up front companies with fictitious directors and their profits disappear before they can be tracked down - not least because the directors cannot be traced. 'No place to hide' Under the government's plan, directors will no longer be able to be appointed until their identity has been verified by Companies House. Ministers say this simple change will help businesses and individuals know who they are dealing with - and help the National Crime Agency track down suspects. Lord Callanan, Minister for Corporate Responsibility, said: \"Mandatory identity verification will mean criminals have no place to hide... and ensure people cannot manipulate the UK market for their own financial gain.\" The global scale of the problem became clear three years ago after a major investigation revealed how corrupt officials from Azerbaijan and Russia funnelled huge sums through UK companies run by fictional directors. A separate Italian investigation found a British company, linked to the mafia, was supposedly run by a man whose name was listed as \"The Hen Thief\". More recently, a former boss of the Naples mafia, told the BBC how he'd worked with British criminals to profit from exploiting Companies House' lax rules. One estimate from Transparency International (TI), which investigates corruption, identified almost 1,000 front companies responsible for up to £137 billion of suspected criminal money flowing through the UK. Steve Goodwich of TI said: \"These much-needed reforms are already long overdue and should be tabled at the earliest possible opportunity. \"New powers for Companies House will be most effective if they are coupled with the introduction of transparency over the true owners of overseas companies holding UK property. This would strengthen our defences against illicit financial flows.\" And Helena Wood, a financial crime expert at the Royal United Services Institute think tank, urged the government to give Companies House more resources to properly look into the background of potential directors. \"These reforms need to be accompanied by a review of Companies House's overall role, including a more explicit role for the Registrar of Companies as the protector of UK corporate integrity,\" she said.",

The summit has been organised by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and will be attended by the leaders of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Russia, the United Kingdom and the United States. The media coverage of the G8 is expected to boost Northern Ireland's image across the world. It is also proving a major spin-off for the hotel industry, especially in the Republic's border counties. It is understood the Russian delegation, of several hundred people, will be staying in Sligo, in the Republic. The Clarion Hotel confirmed it has a G8 block booking. In fact, it is fully booked for 10 days from 9 June. The Slieve Russell hotel in County Cavan, also in the Republic, will be hosting part of a G8 delegation, thought to be Americans. Security cost The Slieve Russell has 222 rooms and my understanding is they are fully booked for the week of the summit. It is such a large delegation that more than one hotel is needed. At least one other hotel in the Republic expects to host staff from another G8 country. Many hotels close to the G8 venue in Fermanagh have already been booked up for the duration of the summit, and there have already been block-bookings at hotels in Belfast too. The summit, which is a major event of truly international significance, has not been held in the UK since leaders met at Gleneagles in Scotland in 2005. That event cost £90m to host and most of that went on security. One estimate for the security bill this time around is £30m. The real lasting long-term economic benefit of an event like the G8 is that it will showcase Northern Ireland to the rest of the world. Northern Ireland's very association with the G8 will send out a message about its stature.

Patches of snow from last winter had survived the summer in the same locations. The fresh snow did not lie for long before melting, but it may have served as a harbinger of what was to follow. There were heavy snowfalls on the mountains in October and by the end of November much of the Highlands - and most of Scotland - was feeling the full force of blizzards and plunging temperatures. It marked the latest twist in a tale of contrasting Highlands winters over the last five years. Five years ago floods posed a greater risk to communities than snow and ice. Ross-shire, Sutherland, Badenoch and Strathspey and Inverness were among the hardest hit by severe flooding in October 2006. Thirty schools were closed, sections of the A9 were shut and the railway line at Helmsdale was washed away. Northern Constabulary and Highland Council declared the situation as a major incident. Winds reaching speeds of 80mph saw police having to deal with 40 incidents caused by storm-damaged trees. In December 2006, Kingussie was badly affected and a stretch of the Aviemore-Perth railway line was closed because of flooding. As part of its response, Highland Council transferred £350,000 from winter maintenance to improving water courses in the summer of 2007. This financial year, the authority will spend £700,000 on water course maintenance. However, Highland Council said dealing with ice and heavy snow remained a high priority. It has allocated £4.8m for winter maintenance this year and by the end of November had stockpiled 52,000 tonnes of gritting salt. The winter of 2006-07 was also a bad one for Scottish ski resorts. By March 2007, centres said they had suffered one of their worst seasons of recent years. A lack of snow and high winds were blamed for keeping skiers and snowboarders off the slopes. But skiing conditions improved significantly in 2008. In January of that year, the ski centres said they were enjoying the \"best snow for years\". All five of the country's snow sports areas opened early - an achievement which operators said was highly unusual. Good skiing conditions returned in the final weeks of 2009 and the start of 2010 when the Highlands experienced some of the hardest winter conditions in decades. Avalanches in the mountains were blamed for the deaths of climbers and blocked the West Highland railway line between Tyndrum and Bridge of Orchy in Argyll for almost two weeks over late February into early March this year. Mark Diggins, of the Sportscotland Avalanche Information Service (SAIS), later said the season had more and larger slides than previously seen. Winter has returned with heavy snowfalls and temperatures dive bombing to -20C. Most of the Highlands has been blanketed in snow for about two weeks. Under its own thick covering of the white stuff is a construction site of a phase of the multi-million pound South West Inverness Flood Relief Scheme. How the rest of this winter pans out remains to be seen, but its positive and negative effects are already stark. More than 10,000 skiers flocked to four of Scotland's ski centres at the weekend. Nevis Range had its earliest start to the season for 13 years. But every silver lining has a dark cloud and the weather has closed schools, shut roads, cancelled rail travel and burst pipes.",

The routine saw them race through 13 pop songs, including Ice Ice Baby by Vanilla Ice and Rick Astley's Never Gonna Give You Up, in five minutes. Tweeting the YouTube clip, host Corden branded Grande \"insanely talented\". The British TV personality added that he felt \"honoured\" to perform with the star. Her mother Joan said her daughter had \"never had more fun\" than during the sketch, which was released on Tuesday. Introducing the segment, Corden said: \"Tonight we've got 13 songs, nine sets, one take and zero pressure - this is Ariana Grande in a soundtrack to Titanic.\" The pair took on the lead roles of forbidden lovers Jack Dawson and Rose Calvert - originally played by Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet. The Oscar-winning film, directed by James Cameron, saw the characters transcend class boundaries to fall for each other aboard the luxurious liner on its ill-fated maiden voyage in 1912. Corden and Grande's alternative soundtrack spanned the musical decades, from Hall and Oates' 1970s classic Rich Girl to Ed Sheeran's present-day hit Shape of You. Track list: Rose's famous \"I'm flying\" scene on the prow of the boat was fittingly soundtracked by Foo Fighters' Learn to Fly. Elsewhere, the love scene between the pair in the back of a car is cheekily put to Nelly's R&B track Ride Wit Me. As tragedy strikes and the ship sinks, Rick Astley's Never Gonna Give You Up plays, while NSYNC's Bye Bye Bye accompanies Jack's death. The sketch ends with the pair coming together to perform a rendition of My Heart Will Go On - the film's official soundtrack originally sung by Celine Dion. Grande's 'amazing' vocals praised Social reaction has been positive, with particular praise for Grande's live vocals. The 25-year-old is preparing to release her fourth studio album Sweetener on Friday. It will be her first full-length release since the Manchester Arena bombing, which took place after her concert in May last year, claiming the lives of 22 people.

            "input": "By Rebecca WoodsBBC News, West Midlands Rachel Johnston, 49, fell seriously ill after having an operation to remove all her teeth due to severe decay. A coroner found neglect by nurses at Pirton Grange Care Home, near Worcester, contributed to her death. \"She had a wonderful little life and it was taken away from her,\" said Diana Johnston. Miss Johnston, who suffered brain damage after contracting meningitis when six weeks old, lived at Pirton Grange from 2013 where she should have been able to have 24-hour medical care. Always singing, she was a popular resident. \"She was such a happy young woman and loved life,\" her mother said. \"She loved a party and she loved people. She was the soul of everything.\" There was little Miss Johnston could do for herself, including brushing her teeth. After a lifetime of difficulty, a dentist examined her in 2018 and discovered every one needed to be removed because of the risk of infection. A 'full dental clearance' is a major procedure for any individual, not least someone with profound learning difficulties. Questions have been raised about the procedure with campaigners saying they are often told of poor communication between disabled patients and their families, and that dentists should intervene earlier to avoid taking out every tooth in a person's mouth. Miss Johnston was given a local and general anaesthetic at Kidderminster Hospital and underwent the procedure on 26 October that year. She was discharged four hours later after appearing in high spirits once she'd come round. But, as she arrived back at the care home that evening, Miss Johnston fell asleep. Over the next 42 hours, she bled intermittently from her mouth, was seen making \"gurgling noises\" and never fully woke up. Despite this, two nurses responsible for her care failed to carry out basic physiological tests that would have showed Miss Johnston was struggling to breathe. Neither did they keep records of her condition that would have shown she was deteriorating. By the time an ambulance was called at 14:00 on 28 October, a doctor said her \"entire brain had been starved of oxygen\". The evidence and findings of Miss Johnston's four-day inquest have been \"heartbreaking\", her mother said. \"I put all the trust in the world in Pirton Grange. When Rachel went there, she was in their arms. They should have seen something was wrong but they didn't do anything for her when she needed it,\" said Mrs Johnston. \"That's when my daughter was slowly dying. She never had a chance. They just didn't seem to care.\" The inquest heard if Miss Johnston had been taken to hospital the previous night, she probably would have survived. Coroner David Reid said the actions of agency nurses Sheeba George and Gillian Bennett amounted to \"gross failures\" and that neglect contributed to her death along with complications from surgery. A hearing on 23 February will hear what changes have been made at Pirton Grange since Miss Johnston's death, 10 days after her family agreed to switch off her life support machine. The home said in a statement systems had been altered and staff retrained. With Miss Johnston falling amongst 1,200 avoidable deaths of people with learning disabilities each year, her mother hopes that lessons can be learned. \"So many die needlessly every year. I just hope that people learn from Rachel's story - she was a young woman and her life was taken away unnecessarily. \"We fought for this because we knew they were in the wrong. We just hope that no one else has to go through what we have.\" Despite the heartache, Mrs Johnston said she and her family were relieved to finally have answers after two and a half years in the dark about how she died. \"When we went to the cemetery on Friday I just said to her - justice has been done, Rachel.\" 'Urgent matters' Dan Scorer, head of policy at Mencap, said: \"It's already shocking that in the 21st century anyone with a learning disability should be facing removal of all their teeth. \"But it is devastating that Rachel's subsequent deterioration wasn't picked up until it was too late to save her. The failures in basic nursing care for Rachel at the care home should now be urgent matters for both the care regulator and Nursing and Midwifery Council to address. \"Everything needs to be done to make sure we never see a case like this again.\" Follow BBC West Midlands on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

More than 34,000 Rohingya have been forced to flee military operations in Rakhine state, according to the UN. Ms Suu Kyi, Myanmar's de facto leader, is accused of failing to protect the minority group. \"A human tragedy amounting to ethnic cleansing and crimes against humanity is unfolding in Myanmar,\" the group, which includes South Africa's Archbishop Desmond Tutu and Pakistani activist Malala Yousafzai, wrote in a letter to the UN Security Council. \"If we fail to take action, people may starve to death if they are not killed with bullets,\" it added. The group, consisting of Nobel laureates, politicians, philanthropists and activists, said it was \"frustrated\" that Ms Suu Kyi, herself a Nobel laureate, \"has not taken any initiative to ensure full and equal citizenship rights of the Rohingyas\". At least 86 people have been killed in operations in Rakhine state, launched after armed militants attacked border posts in Maungdaw on 9 October, killing nine policemen. Earlier this month the government of Myanmar was criticised by the UN over its treatment of the minority Rohingya Muslim population. Myanmar's government said it was conducting counter-terrorism operations in the region and has denied reports of killings and other abuses. Most of the displaced Rohingya have fled across the border into Bangladesh. On Friday, director general of Myanmar's ministry of foreign affairs, Kyaw Zaya, told Reuters news agency that Myanmar recognised that 2,415 of its citizens were in Bangladesh, adding that they were welcome to return. Who are the Rohingya? The estimated one million Muslim Rohingya are seen by many in mainly Buddhist Myanmar as illegal migrants from Bangladesh. They are denied citizenship by the government despite many having lived there for generations. Communal violence in Rakhine state in 2012 left scores dead and displaced more than 100,000 people, with many Rohingya still remaining in decrepit camps. They face widespread discrimination and mistreatment. Hundreds of thousands of undocumented Rohingya are estimated to live in Bangladesh, having fled Myanmar.",

Mrs Foster announced her resignation as DUP leader and first minister last month after an internal party revolt. \"That is how politics is and we do not get involved in discussing internal affairs of the DUP in a public way,\" Mr Poots said. Mr Poots said he \"would assume at some stage it may well happen to me\". \"Politics is a rough and tumble game and sometimes people are on the wrong side of it,\" Mr Poots said. Mr Poots said he had spoken to Mrs Foster and would speak on a one-to-one basis \"in due course\". Mrs Foster is due to step down as DUP leader on 28 May and as first minister at the end of June. In an interview with the Sunday Life, Mr Poots indicated he will consult with the party about whether Arlene Foster should stand down as first minister earlier than her intended departure date. The DUP leader-designate said he wanted to split the DUP leader and first minister roles because he believes there is a \"real piece of work\" to do in building the party and he wants to give his attention to that. But he added: \"We will see in due course. But I move forward with the commitment that I wasn't going forward as first minister... if in the future members think it would work better with me as first minister, then we will have that discussion. But for this time, I don't have any interest or intent to do that.\" Mr Poots also signalled he has no intention of collapsing Stormont over the Northern Ireland Protocol, which places a border in the Irish Sea. He said Stormont is an asset in making the arguments against the protocol. \"It gives us authority to make arguments. It takes us right to the centre of government in the United Kingdom and I have made these arguments.\" He said the arguments would be put forward forcibly and that legally, every course that can be taken to tackle the protocol will be taken. \"We will take every reasonable exercise that we can to ensure that we can inflict damage to the protocol,\" he said. Mr Poots has said he is keen to ensure a smooth transition when Mrs Foster steps down. He has been holding individual meetings with DUP assembly members, seeking their views before beginning any shake-up. His plans are thought to include changing the ministerial team, as well as the DUP chairs and vice-chairs of Stormont's committees. He also met Northern Ireland Secretary Brandon Lewis on Tuesday.",

            "input": "By Reality Check teamBBC News We've been looking at some of the most widespread claims being shared online, and what the science really says. 1. Garlic Lots of posts that recommend eating garlic to prevent infection are being shared on Facebook. The WHO (World Health Organization) says that while it is \"a healthy food that may have some antimicrobial properties\", there's no evidence that eating garlic can protect people from the new coronavirus. In lots of cases, these kinds of remedies aren't harmful in themselves, as long as they aren't preventing you from following evidence-based medical advice. But they have the potential to be. The South China Morning Post reported a story of a woman who had to receive hospital treatment for a severely inflamed throat after consuming 1.5kg of raw garlic. We know, in general, that eating fruit and vegetables and drinking water can be good for staying healthy. However, there is no evidence specific foods will help fight this particular virus. 2. 'Miracle minerals' YouTuber Jordan Sather, who has many thousands of followers across different platforms, has been claiming that a \"miracle mineral supplement\", called MMS, can \"wipe out\" coronavirus. It contains chlorine dioxide - a bleaching agent. Sather and others promoted the substance even before the coronavirus outbreak, and in January he tweeted that, \"not only is chlorine dioxide (aka MMS) an effective cancer cell killer, it can wipe out coronavirus too\". Last year, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) warned about the dangers to health of drinking MMS. Health authorities in other countries have also issued alerts about it. The FDA says it \"is not aware of any research showing that these products are safe or effective for treating any illness\". It warns that drinking them can cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea and symptoms of severe dehydration. 3. Home-made hand sanitiser There have been many reports of shortages of hand sanitiser gel, as washing your hands is one key way to prevent spread of the virus. As reports of the shortages emerged in Italy, so did recipes for home-made gel on social media. But these recipes, alleged dupes for one of the country's most popular brands, were for a disinfectant better suited for cleaning surfaces and, as scientists pointed out, not suitable for use on skin. Alcohol-based hand gels usually also contain emollients, which make them gentler on skin, on top of their 60-70% alcohol content. Professor Sally Bloomfield, at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, says she does not believe you could make an effective product for sanitising hands at home - even vodka only contains 40% alcohol. For cleaning surfaces, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says most common household disinfectants should be effective. 4. Drinkable silver The use of colloidal silver was promoted on US televangelist Jim Bakker's show. Colloidal silver is tiny particles of the metal suspended in liquid. A guest on the show claimed the solution kills some strains of coronavirus within 12 hours (while admitting it hadn't yet been tested on Covid-19). The idea that it could be an effective treatment for coronavirus has been widely shared on Facebook, particularly by \"medical freedom\" groups which are deeply suspicious of mainstream medical advice. Proponents of colloidal silver claim it can treat all kinds of health conditions, act as an antiseptic, and state it helps the immune system. There are some occasional uses of silver in healthcare, for example in bandages applied to wounds, but that doesn't mean it's effective to consume. There's clear advice from the US health authorities that there's no evidence this type of silver solution is effective for any health condition. More importantly, it could cause serious side effects including kidney damage, seizures and argyria - a condition that makes your skin turn blue. They say that, unlike iron or zinc, silver is not a metal that has any function in the human body. Some of those promoting the substance for general health on social media have found their posts now generate a pop-up warning from Facebook's fact-checking service. 5. Drinking water every 15 minutes One post, copied and pasted by multiple Facebook accounts, quotes a \"Japanese doctor\" who recommends drinking water every 15 minutes to flush out any virus that might have entered the mouth. A version in Arabic has been shared more than 250,000 times. Professor Trudie Lang at the University of Oxford says there is \"no biological mechanism\" that would support the idea that you can just wash a respiratory virus down into your stomach and kill it. Infections like coronaviruses enter the body via the respiratory tract when you breathe in. Some of them might go into your mouth, but even constantly drinking water isn't going to prevent you from catching the virus. Nonetheless, drinking water and staying hydrated is generally good medical advice. 6. Heat and avoiding ice cream There are lots of variations of the advice suggesting heat kills the virus, from recommending drinking hot water to taking hot baths, or using hairdryers. One post, copied and pasted by dozens of social media users in different countries - and falsely attributed to Unicef - claims that drinking hot water and exposure to the sun will kill the virus, and says ice cream is to be avoided. Charlotte Gornitzka, who works for Unicef on coronavirus misinformation, says: \"A recent erroneous online message...purporting to be a Unicef communication appears to indicate that avoiding ice cream and other cold foods can help prevent the onset of the disease. This is, of course, wholly untrue.\" We know the flu virus doesn't survive well outside the body during the summer, but we don't yet know how heat impacts the new coronavirus. Trying to heat your body or expose yourself to the sun - presumably to make it inhospitable to the virus - is completely ineffective, according to Prof Bloomfield. Once the virus is in your body, there's no way of killing it - your body just has to fight it off. Outside the body, \"to actively kill the virus you need temperatures of around 60 degrees [Celsius]\", says Professor Bloomfield - far hotter than any bath. Washing bed linen or towels at 60C is a good idea, as this can kill any viruses in the fabric. But it's not a good option for washing your skin. And having a hot bath or drinking hot liquids won't change your actual body temperature, which remains stable unless you are already ill.

            "input": "By Alex JenningsBBC Wales Live Charl Davies, of Blaenavon, Torfaen, said she had to \"suffer in silence\". Member of the Senedd Suzy Davies, who has also suffered, has called for the topic to be compulsory in schools. The Welsh Government said it expected one of the groups working on the new curriculum to consider topics like menstrual wellbeing in more detail. Charity Endometriosis UK said this provided hope, but not certainty, to those struggling with the condition. It said women in Wales were waiting on average for nine years for a diagnosis, compared to a UK average of eight years. It also said women were now having to wait longer because of delays related to coronavirus - but said a greater awareness of the condition from a younger age could help reduce diagnosis times. Endometriosis is a condition where tissue, like that in the lining of the womb, grows elsewhere in the body, often around reproductive organs, the bowel and bladder. Like the womb lining, it builds up and bleeds every month, but with no way of escape, blood becomes trapped and causes inflammation, pain and the formation of scar tissue. The condition, which affects one in 10 women in the UK, can cause pain, heavy periods and infertility. There is no cure, but treatments can reduce symptoms. Diagnosis 'bittersweet' Charl Davies, 28, started to experience symptoms of the condition at the age of 10 and said the pain was so bad it would cause her to become breathless and faint. She said she spent \"most of her time as a child\" crying over the disease and would tell her mother she was in so much pain she could not go to school. Last year, 17 years after her symptoms started and 11 after she began looking for a diagnosis, she got one after two laparoscopies on the NHS and a private consultation. It was a \"bittersweet moment\", she said. \"In that moment I felt like, wow, all these years. Nobody listened to me. And I felt really emotional.\" She thinks she would have found a correlation between her symptoms and the condition if she had been taught about it in school, but instead was left to \"suffer in silence\". \"I feel like it would benefit so many people and stop endometriosis in its tracks rather than letting it progress over the years, attaching to other organs, it takes years for it to do that,\" she said. Rowan Walsh, from Monmouthshire, was diagnosed with endometriosis in 2017. She said her symptoms started aged 11 when her periods started: \"I knew my periods weren't normal, they were just so heavy,\" she said. \"It is debilitating every single day, not just during your period like some people think - it is every day.\" She told Claire Summers on BBC Radio Wales if she had been told about it in school it would have helped: \"Having that education in school would have made such a massive difference in terms of knowing what to fight for.\" Fair Treatment for the Women of Wales, a patient-led women's health equality charity, has been campaigning for menstrual wellbeing education in Wales for the last two years and is urging the government to act. In a statement, the group said: \"We believe that menstrual wellbeing needs to be on the curriculum in Wales to ensure that we overcome taboos and misconceptions which see periods and associated issues like heavy bleeding and pain either go unspoken or dismissed as being 'normal'. \"Far too many pupils are not getting the best out of their education as a result of their periods, and future health and prospects are also affected.\" 'Verge of fainting' Suzy Davies, the education spokeswoman for the Welsh Conservatives' Senedd group, said she was diagnosed with endometriosis in her late 40s. She proposed an amendment to make menstrual wellbeing a mandatory part of the new curriculum, as it was in England in 2020, but this was rejected by a majority of the Children, Young People and Education Committee. Ms Davies said she was told \"it's a mess in there\" when she was diagnosed, but said it helped to explain the \"nasty\" symptoms she had experienced for two years. She said: \"There were times when I was on the verge of fainting in work, which I just put down to something else completely and it's not. It turns out to be endometriosis and the effect it has on you.\" Education Minister Kirsty Williams told the committee she agreed it was an important topic and she would work with one of the groups developing the curriculum guidance to see what opportunities there were to include it. Ms Davies said she planned to bring back the amendment at a later stage of the curriculum bill. The Welsh Government said: \"Growing up has a critical impact on learners' health and wellbeing. The expectation within the new curriculum is that schools consider a range of issues that affect learners' physical health and help them understand and manage developmental changes, including puberty and conditions such as endometriosis. \"The Relationships and Sexuality Education (RSE) working group is currently developing draft guidance which will form part of the Curriculum for Wales framework. We expect the group to consider topics such as menstrual wellbeing in more detail.\" You can see more on this story on Wales Live at 22:35 GMT on Wednesday on BBC One Wales, and on the BBC iPlayer",

Eleventh night bonfires took place across Northern Ireland. A \"number of cars were on fire\" in Dundonald while a bus was burnt out in Newtownards, police said. Other flashpoints on Wednesday night included: 'UVF to orchestrate disorder' Bonfires are traditionally lit in many loyalist areas of Northern Ireland on the Eleventh Night - the eve of the Twelfth of July. The Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service said it had received 198 emergency calls between 18:00 and 23:00. It said there were \"95 operational incidents\" of which 13 were bonfire related. It also said a fire engine was \"slightly damaged\" when crews were attacked in the Carnhill area of Derry but that \"no personnel were injured\". Earlier on Wednesday, the police issued a statement warning they had information that \"the East Belfast UVF intend to orchestrate and participate in serious disorder in east Belfast this evening\" against police officers. \"I would strongly urge people to desist from engaging in any violent or criminal behaviour,\" said Assistant Chief Constable Alan Todd \"I would also appeal to those who have influence in this community to discourage people from taking part in any illegal activity.\" In Dundonald, the PSNI said officers were on the scene on the Upper Newtownards Road following reports of a number of cars on fire. It said it was reported that \"a number of masked males pushed a car into the road and set it on fire close to Robbs Road\" at about 21:45. There was a further report that two cars were set on fire close to Carrowreagh Road. \"We would like to the thank the members of the public who are currently assisting us as we try to identify these individuals who appear determined to obstruct the road network, particularly so close to the Ulster Hospital's accident and emergency department,\" the police said. In Newtownards, police said was a bus was hijacked at about 19:30 on Wednesday in Blenheim Drive. They said the hijack was carried out by a gang of masked men, one carrying a suspected firearm, before it was set on fire. A number of passengers who were in the bus at the time were not injured. The police said that the bus has been removed and Blenheim Drive reopened. At Belfast City Airport passengers were kept inside while police dealt with an incident on the Sydenham Bypass. Police had temporarily closed the road in both directions as officers searched the undergrowth in nearby streets. Trains did not call at Titanic Quarter due to the security alert. The Sydenham bypass reopened at about 21.30 and the airport returned to operating normally. Earlier on Wednesday, material was removed from two bonfire sites in east Belfast. Concerns had been raised over the safety of the Cluan Place and Bloomfield bonfires.

Starbucks was once seen by the music industry as a great hope for selling CDs, with a selection offered on racks as customers waited for their coffees. In 2004, Starbucks also introduced a burning service in select stores, allowing customers to select tracks to make their own discs. But in March Starbucks stopped selling CDs, saying that it was exploring new options. In 2014, streaming overtook CD sales in revenue generation for the first time in the US, by far the world's largest music market. However, streaming has caught on at different paces around the world. CDs remain the preferred format in Germany and Japan, while Nordic countries have embraced streaming.

Sudan has long been beset by conflict.

This followed months of street protests against President Bashir's authoritarian rule.

The fires are now under control at both facilities, state media said. A spokesman for the Iran-aligned Houthi group in Yemen said it had deployed 10 drones in the attacks. The military spokesman, Yahya Sarea, told al-Masirah TV, which is owned by the Houthi movement and is based in Beirut, that further attacks could be expected in the future. He said Saturday's attack was one of the biggest operations the Houthi forces had undertaken inside Saudi Arabia and was carried out in \"co-operation with the honourable people inside the kingdom\". Saudi Arabia is said to be shutting down around half of its oil output, the Wall Street Journal reports. Officials have not yet commented on who they think is behind the attacks. \"At 04:00 (01:00 GMT), the industrial security teams of Aramco started dealing with fires at two of its facilities in Abqaiq and Khurais as a result of... drones,\" the official Saudi Press Agency reported. \"The two fires have been controlled.\" There have been no details on the damage but Agence France-Presse quoted interior ministry spokesman Mansour al-Turki as saying there were no casualties. Abqaiq is about 60km (37 miles) south-west of Dhahran in Saudi Arabia's Eastern Province, while Khurais, some 200km further south-west, has the country's second largest oilfield. Saudi security forces foiled an attempt by al-Qaeda to attack the Abqaiq facility with suicide bombers in 2006. An attack method open to all Jonathan Marcus, BBC defence and diplomatic correspondent This latest attack underlines the strategic threat posed by the Houthis to Saudi Arabia's oil installations. The growing sophistication of the Houthis' drone operations is bound to renew the debate as to where this capability comes from. Have the Houthis simply weaponised commercial civilian drones or have they had significant assistance from Iran? The Trump administration is likely to point the finger squarely at Tehran, but experts vary in the extent to which they think Iran is facilitating the drone campaign. The Saudi Air Force has been pummelling targets in Yemen for years. Now the Houthis have a capable, if much more limited, ability to strike back. It shows that the era of armed drone operations being restricted to a handful of major nations is now over. Drone technology - albeit of varying degrees of sophistication - is available to all; from the US to China, Israel and Iran... and from the Houthis to Hezbolllah. Markets await news from key facilities Analysis by BBC business correspondent Katie Prescott Aramco ranks as the world's largest oil business and these facilities are significant. The Khurais oilfield produces about 1% of the world's oil and Abqaiq is the company's largest facility - with the capacity to process 7% of the global supply. Even a brief or partial disruption could affect the company, and the oil supply, given their size. But whether this will have an impact on the oil price come Monday will depend on just how extensive the damage is. Markets now have the weekend to digest information from Aramco and assess the long-term impact. According to Richard Mallinson, geopolitical analyst at Energy Aspects, any reaction on Monday morning is likely to be muted, as markets are less worried about supply than demand at the moment, due to slower global economic growth and the ongoing trade war between the US and China. However, there are concerns that escalating tensions in the region could pose a broader risk, potentially threatening the fifth of the world's oil supply that goes through the critical Strait of Hormuz. Who are the Houthis? The Iran-aligned Houthi rebel movement has been fighting the Yemeni government and a Saudi-led coalition. Yemen has been at war since 2015, when President Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi was forced to flee the capital Sanaa by the Houthis. Saudi Arabia backs President Hadi, and has led a coalition of regional countries against the rebels. The coalition launches air strikes almost every day, while the Houthis often fire missiles into Saudi Arabia. Mr Sarea, the Houthi group's military spokesman, told al-Masirah that operations against Saudi targets would \"only grow wider and will be more painful than before, so long as their aggression and blockade continues\". Houthi fighters were blamed for drone attacks on the Shaybah natural gas liquefaction facility last month and on other oil facilities in May. There have been other sources of tension in the region, often stemming from the rivalry between Saudi Arabia and Iran. Saudi Arabia and the US both blamed Iran for attacks in the Gulf on two oil tankers in June and July, allegations Tehran denied. In May, four tankers, two of them Saudi-flagged, were damaged by explosions within the UAE's territorial waters in the Gulf of Oman. Saudi Arabia and then US National Security Adviser John Bolton blamed Iran. Tehran said the accusations were \"ridiculous\". Tension in the vital shipping lanes worsened when Iran shot down a US surveillance drone over the Strait of Hormuz in June, leading a month later to the Pentagon announcing the deployment of US troops to Saudi Arabia.",

Opposition politicians and critics say this is an attempt by PiS to control Poland’s justice system. Now, the ECJ has ruled Poland must immediately suspend the chamber. It is the latest development in a long-running row between Poland and the EU over PiS’s radical judicial reforms. PiS is the governing party in Poland and controls its parliament. What did the court say? The European Commission asked the ECJ in January to consider the disciplinary chamber, arguing it was not up to EU standards of judicial independence. Judges chosen by the National Council of the Judiciary sit on that disciplinary chamber. But the PiS changed the law so that the parliament – which it controls – picks the member of that judicial council. This ECJ ruling states that the fact judges could be subject to such discipline from the chamber “is likely to affect their own independence”. And while each country in the EU has the right to organise its own judicial system, this disciplinary system “is likely to cause serious and irreparable harm” to legal order in the EU. Poland now has one month to comply with the European Commission’s request that the disciplinary chamber be separated from the parliament and from government, while the court makes its final ruling. After this time, the Commission can ask for a fine against Poland. What are the judicial reforms? PiS has introduced rules which mean judges can be punished for “political activity”. The nationalist party says the reforms are needed to tackle corruption. But critics and opposition members say it is an attempt by the party to control Poland’s justice system. In December, Poland’s Supreme Court warned the country may have to leave the EU if the judicial reforms continue. In recent days the party has also come under fire for changing the law so that May’s presidential election can go ahead – despite the coronavirus pandemic. Opposition parties say this is to boost the hopes of incumbent President Andrzej Duda, who is backed by PiS. But PiS say it is to protect the democratic process.",

There are plans for 70 such prisons, with a trial of the new system planned in north-west England later this year. The justice secretary said the current system was \"hopeless\"; Labour queried how the changes would be funded. Under the plans, existing facilities in England and Wales will become resettlement prisons. Justice Secretary Chris Grayling said it would mean those in jail could start \"working towards their rehabilitation\" from the moment they were imprisoned. Prisoners serving 12 months or under will serve all of their time in a resettlement prison and receive a \"tailored package of supervision and support\" on their release. The majority of inmates serving longer sentences would be moved to a resettlement prison at least three months before the end of their time in custody, the government said. \"Rehabilitation in the community must begin behind the prison walls and follow offenders out through the gates if we are to stand a chance of freeing them from a life of crime,\" Mr Grayling said. \"Currently a local area could expect to receive offenders from dozens of prisons across the country - this is hopeless. 'Right direction' \"It is little wonder we have such high reoffending rates when you have a prisoner leaving HMP Liverpool, given a travel permit to get them home to the south coast, and then expected to simply get on with it.\" Women prisoners are not covered by the plans and are subject to a separate review, which will report later this year. The government recently announced plans to make every prisoner in England and Wales complete a year-long period of supervision with private, charity and voluntary sector organisations bidding to carry out the work under a system of payment-by-results. Paul McDowell, chief executive of crime reduction charity Nacro and a former governor of Brixton Prison, said: \"We are still sending too many people to prison when they could be better dealt with in the community - especially many of those serving short prison sentences. \"But putting communities at the heart of the criminal justice system through the development of resettlement prisons is a step in the right direction.\" Juliet Lyon, director of the Prison Reform Trust said: \"Resettlement and rehabilitation do matter but, until and unless you reserve prison for serious and violent offenders, you cannot hope to cut sky-high reoffending rates or maintain safe and decent regimes. \"Given the pace and scale of change, ministers focused on developing the justice market could easily lose sight of the solutions that lie outside of prison bars in health, housing and employment.\" Labour said it welcomed the idea of resettlement prisons in principle, but said the plans were \"another example of reality being very different from rhetoric\". Shadow justice secretary Sadiq Khan said: \"These plans amount to a substantial reorganisation of our prisons system, and it's not clear how it will be funded. Nor is it clear what will happen in London where there is an estimated shortfall of 8,000 places. \"Prisoners from London are currently scattered all over the country, many miles from their family and friends, making this policy announcement meaningless for them.\"",

The news came as the Commodity Futures Trading Commission confirmed that it would investigate the trading losses. The Securities and Exchange Commission and the FBI have already said that they would be probing the losses made at the largest U.S. bank. Mr Dimon said that the buy-back was suspended because the bank needed the cash to meet stricter international bank capital rules that are due to come into force soon. Shares in JPMorgan fell 1.3% on Monday.

The proposals that won public backing included: A suggestion that primary school hours could be cut was one of the options rejected by the public. Budget gap The council said the proposals were developed to address an estimated £17m budget gap over the next three years as a result of funding cuts and additional financial pressures. The council opposes these cuts and is calling on them to be reversed. In the meantime the authority must prepare to balance its budget for the coming years. To do this council officers have identified nearly £9m of efficiencies that can be undertaken immediately, and a range of budget saving proposals of around £8m for councillors to consider when setting the budget in February. Once the consultation closes, the feedback will be presented as a report to councillors for them to consider. Councillors at the Labour-run authority will then decide which measures should be implemented at the council's budget meeting on 4 February 2015.

Meet Khazanchi Nath, exactly two months and 11 days old, and an unlikely star of Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav's poll campaign. Mr Yadav invokes the child's name at every political rally, while criticising the federal government's decision in November to ban 1,000 and 500 rupee notes, insisting that the currency ban has hurt the poor most. Khazanchi, which means \"treasurer\", was born on 2 December as his mother, Sarvesha Devi, stood in a bank queue to withdraw cash in Uttar Pradesh state. \"I had left home at 09:00 to go to the bank in Jhinjhak town to withdraw money,\" Sarvesha Devi told me when I visited her home in Sardar Pur village. The heavily pregnant 35-year-old mother-of-five had walked 3km (1.8 miles) to get to the bank, accompanied by mother-in-law Sashi Devi and her eldest child, 10-year-old daughter Priti. The family belongs to the Baiga tribe, which is among India's most poor and deprived communities. Her husband, a snake charmer, died last August, wasted away by tuberculosis. A few months ago, Sarvesha Devi had qualified for a government scheme meant to build homes for the poorest of the poor, and had gone to the bank to withdraw 20,000 rupees ($299; £239). At 10:00 when the bank opened, the family took their place in the cash queue. \"There were hundreds of people there. There was a separate queue for women but even that was far too long. There were dozens in front of me, and there were dozens behind me,\" she says. In the afternoon, she began getting contractions and her labour pains started. \"We begged the bank officials to give us our money quickly so we could leave,\" says Sashi Devi. \"I told them that my daughter-in-law was pregnant and that she was in pain, but they didn't care. They said everyone makes these excuses. And then her water broke. She was very embarrassed.\" Realising that there was no time to waste, Sashi Devi took her daughter-in-law to a corner near the stairs. Priti was made to hold up her mother's shawl to create a makeshift curtain, and within minutes, the baby arrived. \"If my mother-in-law wasn't there, I would have died,\" Sarvesha Devi tells me. Sashi Devi is not a trained midwife, but she is not a novice either - she has over a dozen grandchildren and she has delivered almost all of them, including all of Sarvesha Devi's earlier babies. \"I was very angry. I told the bank officials to show some compassion. My daughter-in-law had just delivered a baby. I said people could die in the queue.\" That's when, says Sashi Devi, bank officials gave them the money they had come to withdraw. \"They took Sarvesha's thumb impression since the account is in her name and handed me the money.\" Bank manager SK Chaudhary told the BBC the staff had no clue how serious the situation was until the baby was actually born. \"There were hundreds of people in the bank. It was so crowded, you could only see the tops of people's heads,\" he said. \"There was no way any of us could have known that there was a pregnant woman in the crowd, about to deliver a baby.\" Mr Chaudhary said he went to check on the family as soon as he heard about it and \"was so relieved to see that the baby and the mother were doing fine\". He tried to call an ambulance, \"but they began asking too many questions, so we informed the police\". The police arrived quickly and took Sarvesha Devi and her baby to a local health centre and after they were checked by a doctor, they were driven home in a police vehicle. Local journalist Ramakant Gupta, who was among the first reporters to get to the scene, says he was impressed by Sarvesha Devi's courage. \"Soon after giving birth, Sarvesha Devi walked down these steps to get into the police jeep. I salute her strength,\" he says. Since the baby was born in the bank, the village council chief suggested he be named Khazanchi Nath. \"We hadn't decided on a name so we agreed,\" says Sarvesha Devi, laughing. The tiny baby with the big name has also brought his family some luck - even before he turned a month old, Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav awarded his mother 200,000 rupees ($2,990; £2,394). Mr Yadav's opponents have described the move as politically motivated, done with an eye on the state elections, but Khazanchi's family are happy that their new baby \"has become world famous\". \"The chief minister told me to take good care of Khazanchi Nath. I promised him I would,\" says Sarvesha Devi. \"I want him to go to school, get a good education, take up a job. We have dreams, but then it's his kismat [fate].\"",

Employee Khawla Rebhi said she greatly missed her family, but her colleagues' good cheer provided some compensation. \"My husband and 16-year-old daughter supported and encouraged me to do this,\" Ms Rebhi, who is in charge of the production line, told the BBC. The factory usually exports its protective gear, but its focus now is to produce enough for the health sector at home. The North African nation, which went into lockdown on Sunday, has 227 confirmed cases of coronavirus and six patients have died in the last week. Among those who moved into the factory, which is in a rural area south of the capital, Tunis, a week ago are cooks, a doctor and pharmacist. There are separate dormitories for 110 women and 40 men - and enough stocks to last a month. \"We have a designated area for all kinds of exercise and dancing for the women, and the men have a football and basketball area,\" Ms Rebhi told me. \"And we all have internet and video chat with our families when we are not working.\" She says the factory runs from 06:30 to 22:30 local time every day on two eight-hour shifts, with the men mainly on the later one. 'We need to protect doctors' On their eighth day of confinement, Mr Alouini said there were still \"positive vibes\" from everyone. He said the staff felt the need to isolate at the factory because if the virus spread within the workforce, they would not be able to keep up with the needs of doctors in the country. \"If we don't work our doctors will not be protected against the virus,\" he told the BBC's Focus on Africa radio programme. \"I'm trying to do my best for all my country - for the hospitals, for the army, for the police, for everybody.\" Ms Rebhi says the workforce's sense of mission is giving them all hope, but she cannot deny that they are worried about efforts to contain Covid-19. \"I am looking at how other governments are struggling with it in Europe and elsewhere and I can't help but wonder how a country like Tunisia will handle it.\" You may also be interested:",

But Scottish Gymnastics fears the lengthy shutdown could have a long-term impact on the sport, with many clubs on the brink of a financial crisis. The governing body is urging ministers to allow the sport to resume. The Scottish government says indoor gymnastics clubs should remain closed as they involved \"prolonged close social contact which increases the chance of infection spreading\". It is due to provide an update on reopening indoor sports and leisure facilities on 20 August. Gymnastics is a major participation sport in Scotland with 170 clubs and 30,000 members affiliated to the governing body. Indoor sport returned in England and Northern Ireland in July and gymnasts returned to their gyms in Wales on Monday. Ready to open safely Doc McKelvey, CEO of Scottish Gymnastics, is among signatories to a letter to Nicola Sturgeon, calling for an indicative date for the return of local authority sport and leisure facilities, and additional financial support. The leaders of dozens of other sports, including badminton, netball and swimming, have also signed the letter which urges ministers to work with the sports' governing bodies. Mr McKevey recognises that public health is still key but shares his members' frustrations given the easing of restrictions in other sectors ahead of indoor sport. He told BBC Scotland that guidance has been provided to clubs and he was confident they could reopen in an \"appropriate and safe\" manner. He added: \"Our sport's young age profile means there are lower risks for those participating, many of whom are not subject to physical distancing in their daily lives. \"Gymnastics is more than just a sport and we understand the effect the current restrictions are having on the mental wellbeing of many young people who miss the friendship and fun as much as their own personal challenges of taking part in the sport they love. \"A longer period without indoor gymnastics could have a long-term impact on sport participation, in particular, women and girls who make up 85% of our members. \"There is a risk they will not return to sport or have a club to return to, if local authority and leisure trust facilities are repurposed or not reopened, which would have a devastating effect on everyone involved and their wider communities.\" 'We can't explain the shutdown to the children' City of Glasgow Gymnastics Club has produced a string of national champions, and Commonwealth Games and Special Olympics competitors. It normally operates from Bellahouston Sport Centre but outdoor training was allowed from the end of July and small groups of gymnasts from the club have been meeting in local parks. However, there is a limit to what the children can do with no equipment and they are at the mercy of the Scottish weather. Chairwoman Shirley Gorrell said: \"We know Scottish Gymnastics is trying to make its case and we believe in that and we know we can get back in safely and do a good job with all the restrictions. \"The gymnasts are disciplined, the coaches know what they are doing, we have done all the risk assessments and our facility is suitable for all the protocols.\" She is concerned that a prolonged lockdown could leave Scottish gymnasts competing in the 2022 Commonwealth Games at a disadvantage to their English and Welsh rivals. And she added: \"If you can go to the cinema and wander around the shops in indoor shopping malls, and go to the pub, why can all these young children not go in and do the thing that is important to them? That's the part that they can't understand and we can't explain to them.\" Training for elite gymnasts High-performance athletes have been allowed to take part in individual indoor training - with appropriate safety protocols - since 29 June. And last week, West Lothian Gymnastics Club hosted the first session of gymnastics to take place in Scotland since March. Five elite gymnasts attended the Craigwillow Centre in Livingston which has been prepared to adhere to social distancing and anti-virus restrictions. The gym was deep cleaned, repainted, and rearranged to allow social distance between equipment. A one-way system and temperature checks were put in place. Head men's coach John Campbell said: \"We did a lot of work and everything was put in place that was asked of us. We were able to see it worked well and it will for other gyms.\" 'Robust guidance' A Scottish government spokeswoman said: \"As the first minister outlined, we know how difficult this situation is for those sectors and activities who are facing a further wait before they can resume and are acutely aware of the potential impact that will have on people's livelihoods.\" The indicative date for reopening is 14 September but it will be kept under review to see if earlier reopening is possible. \"We have been working with the sector to develop robust guidance and protocols that will allow necessary preparation for reopening indoor facilities and swimming pools and provide confidence for the public and members and staff to return,\" the spokeswoman added. \"We don't want these restrictions to be in place a minute longer than we judge to be necessary but, for now, indoor gymnastics clubs must remain closed as they involve prolonged close social contact which increases the chance of infection spreading.\"",

Meanwhile, the group said its half-year pre-tax profits fell by 6.4% to £88m. Debenhams shares were down by nearly 5% following the announcement. Chief executive Sergio Bucher, who joined the company last October, said its customers were changing the way they shopped and therefore Debenhams was also changing. \"We will be a destination for social shopping, with mobile the unifying platform for interacting with our customers,\" said Mr Bucher, who was appointed with a view to shaking up the business. Debenhams said that leisure activities accounted for an increasing share of consumer spending and that the \"leisure experience is an important part of shopping\", while \"mobile interaction\" was growing fast. In an effort to capture this market, Debenhams plans to step up investment in its in-store cafes, restaurants and beauty services. Retail analyst Steve Dresser, of Grocery Insight, said it would be tricky for Debenhams to make its new approach work. \"Without a core reason to visit Debenhams, or a point of difference, footfall and sales fall, which in turn impacts profitability,\" he said. \"Shopping centre locations overcome footfall concerns, but in turn, rents are expensive.\" 'Fit for the future' Debenhams said it had no \"tail of loss-makers\" in its 176 UK store estate and, in fact, many were \"highly profitable\". However, it added, it wanted to \"ensure they are fit for the future\". The 10 stores under review for closure, if they are deemed not profitable enough, have not been named. Debenhams said the rest would be \"refreshed\" and \"remerchandised\" to raise their profitability. In January, it began \"decluttering\" its stores by reducing the number of lines for sale. It is also switching about 2,000 of the stores' backroom staff to jobs where they deal directly with customers. The group also has plans to open four new shops in the UK. 'Disappointed' Debenhams has 82 stores in 26 other countries. It said it would leave some \"non-core\" international markets, with details due to be announced in October. The department store chain announced earlier this year that it had begun consulting on the closure of one central distribution centre in Northamptonshire which employs about 200 people. It is hoped all staff will be redeployed. Debenhams is also consulting on the closure of about about 10 smaller regional warehouses which are connected to stores. Those staff will be moved into the stores. Sir Ian Cheshire, the chairman of Debenhams, said \"this is a strategy about growth\", not job losses, and that the plans should lead to the creation of more jobs. However, independent retail analyst Nick Bubb said he was \"disappointed\" that the strategy did not include any targets for sales and profits, despite the talk of growth and efficiency.",

More on this and other South Yorkshire stories More than £500,000 was allocated for three years when the service established after the independent inquiry in 2014 reported that an estimated 1,400 children were abused in the South Yorkshire town between 1997 and 2013. The internal council report warns that the 131 people on waiting lists in April this year could see an increase in the length of time they wait to receive help due to a reduction in the project's budget, said the Local Democracy Reporting Service (LDRS). \"Long waiting times mean that people are not getting the right care at the right time and may lead to negative consequences,\" the report said. \"As investigations progress and engagement activity with victims and survivors increases, it is very likely that demand for and pressures on commissioned and non-commissioned services will increase.\" The report adds that mental health and counselling services in Rotherham are trying to identify alternative ways of getting the support victims need.

On Monday, an independent panel appointed by Toshiba said the firm had overstated its operating profit by a total of 151.8bn yen ($1.22bn, £780m). The overstatement was roughly triple an initial estimate by Toshiba. The company's business empire stretches from home electronics to nuclear power stations. 'Deeply apologise' \"It has been revealed that there has been inappropriate accounting going on for a long time, and we deeply apologise for causing this serious trouble for shareholders and other stakeholders,\" the company said in a statement. \"Because of this Hisao Tanaka, our company president, and Norio Sasaki, our company's vice chairman... will resign today.\" Mr Tanaka told a media conference that \"we have a serious responsibility\", adding that the company would need to \"build a new structure'' to reform itself. Mr Tanaka, 64, and Mr Sasaki, 66, both joined Toshiba in the early 1970s. Mr Sasaki served as Toshiba president between June 2009 and June 2013, covering most of the period during which the firm inflated the profits. Atsutoshi Nishida, an adviser and former chief executive from 2006 to 2009, also gave up his post. Mr Tanaka and his predecessors are among eight high-level executives who have now resigned after the independent report found senior management involved in a scheme to inflate profits over several years. People took to social media to express their concern at the scandal. One twitter user remarked \"It's appalling how long this cover up could have carried on\", while another said \"clean out the entire company! Toshiba needs to carry on its legacy properly.\" He also said it was the most damaging episode in Toshiba's 140-year history. The company was created by a merger in 1938, but its roots date back to 1875. 'Very regrettable' Toshiba's accounting scandal began when securities regulators uncovered problems as they probed the company's balance sheet earlier this year. One line that the investigators looked into was that executives set unrealistic targets for new operations after worries that the 2011 Fukushima disaster may hit Toshiba's nuclear division. While the report did not specifically refer to Fukushima, it did say that pressure within Toshiba was strong in the accounting years of 2011 and 2012. The findings mean Toshiba will have to restate its profits for the period between April 2008 and March 2014. It is unclear whether it will affect the company's results for the year ending March 2015. The finance minister, Taro Aso, said the case could undermine confidence in corporate governance in Japan. He added the accounting irregularities at Toshiba were \"very regrettable\". Japan's government has been trying to regain global investors' confidence with better corporate governance after Olympus was found to have covered up $1.7bn in losses in late 2011, in what was until now Japan's worst corporate governance scandal. Tomoaki Nakamura, research vice president at market research firm IDC Japan, said it was not a surprise that Mr Tanaka, along with the other executives had stepped down. \"In Japan, this news has been in the media for two months already,\" he told the BBC from Tokyo. \"What they need to be afraid of is criminal action by the [US] Securities and Exchange Commission.\" 'Corporate culture' The report's findings are expected to lead to the restatement of earnings, a board overhaul and potentially hefty fines for Toshiba. The inquiry found that the misreporting of profits began after the financial crash seven years ago, when senior managers began imposing unrealistic performance targets. \"Within Toshiba, there was a corporate culture in which one could not go against the wishes of superiors,\" the report said. \"Therefore, when top management presented 'challenges', division presidents, line managers and employees below them continually carried out inappropriate accounting practices to meet targets in line with the wishes of their superiors.\" One business expert, Loizos Heracleous, Professor of Strategy and Organisation at Warwick Business School, told the BBC there was a wider problem in Japanese business culture. \"Corporate culture in Japan is hierarchical and based on a long history of emphasis on loyalty, doing one's best, and doing all that is possible to avoid bringing shame to one's group,\" he said. \"These values, combined with unrelenting performance pressures from the market, can sometimes tempt executives to take shortcuts, and can also make it difficult for employees to ask embarrassing or probing questions of executives.\" Shares up While the resignations were expected, Mr Nakamura said it was still surprising that such a giant tech firm like Toshiba was still operating in the \"old way of cheating today\". Regulators are believed to be starting their own review of Toshiba's book-keeping, based on Monday's report. Shares in Toshiba rose 6% in Japan as the report into the accounting problems ended speculation as to the extent of the problem. However, Toshiba's shares are still down by about a quarter since the company first disclosed cases of accounting irregularities in April. Losing to competitors Karissa Chua, analyst of consumer electronics at market research firm Euromonitor said Toshiba's struggles highlighted the problems that have plagued many Japanese tech firms in recent years. \"With the exception of cameras, Japanese firms are no longer able to compete effectively with the likes of companies like Samsung and Lenovo,\" she said. \"Even without the scandals, these tech firms are already losing its competitiveness against its Korean and Chinese competitors.\" And whether Toshiba can bounce back from the probe is up for debate, according to analysts. Mr Nakamura of IDC said even though it faces a class action lawsuit in the US, Toshiba's computers, heavy industry and semi-conductor businesses are strong and profitable. \"A new leader and governance structure will renovate the company,\" he said. Restructuring plans But Ms Chua of Euromonitor said Toshiba was too far behind its competitors to reverse its declining fortunes in consumer electronics, the sector it is best-known for. \"It should instead focus on speeding up its restructuring plans and divert its resources in consumer electronics into its core business - energy and components,\" she said. She said Toshiba would find it a challenge in negotiating new contracts with its partners and customers, as they would be hesitant about committing to the firm because of the uncertainty around its future, including potential fines.",

If it moved he would capture it on his cine camera. In doing so he created a unique archive of daily life in the Northumberland market town. His collection spanned five decades starting in the late 20's. The many hours of film have been acquired and digitised for posterity by the county Archives Service. I am one of the few privileged enough to have seen every frame he took. I spent several very happy days at the Archives at Woodhorn Museum near Ashington watching 50 years of Northumberland life unfold as I researched the entire collection for our BBC Inside Out film. A favourite moment has to be the cigarette smoking athlete in the Morpeth Olympics. The event used to be annual gathering of sporting hopefuls. Tom captured the epic moment when a man leapt over the bar in the high jump and who stands up after his tumble with a fag end still pursed between his lips. He surely deserved some kind of medal! Community celebrations The range of things caught on film is astounding. The side-car racing at Druridge Bay and seriously dangerous water battles on the River Wansbeck in the Morpeth regatta would surely be banned today. It seems the whole town appears on film as they hold rallies, parades and community celebrations over the many decades. There's every chance the scenes will bring back great memories of those days - you might even recognise yourself on film! If so I'd love to hear from you - so please do email me at chrisjackson@bbc.co.uk As a farmer, Tom naturally documented agricultural life. For several generations the Temples grew crops as market gardeners and sold them in stalls in Newcastle. To the modern viewer it dawns on you that it really wasn't that long ago that ploughs were being dragged up and down by horses, and trains were belching steam as they thundered by. What struck me is just how many people you used to see working in the fields, whereas now you're lucky to see a lone farmer in his tractor. Tom would probably be amazed at all the attention the fruits of his lifetime's hobby is now getting. His sons Clive and Geoff are thrilled the collection of cine-film is now has a prized place in Northumberland's historical records. The boys were extras in many of Tom's films, notably when he made his own documentaries, such as following the Wansbeck from source to the sea. He even made his own captions and edited them together as well as any modern professional. He had an eye for cinema and even managed to blag a lift in a helicopter to film Warkworth from the air - at a time when there was only the one ancient bridge over the river Coquet. These films are now available for the public to view at Woodhorn - although you're best making an appointment. You may be there quite a while! In the meantime you can watch extracts from the archive films here: BBC Inside Out North East and Cumbria is broadcast on Monday, 14 January on BBC One at 19:30 GMT and nationwide on the iPlayer for seven days thereafter.",

Week In Week Out examined the way in which the University of Wales validated courses in overseas institutions. The university has said concerns relate solely to Yaakob and not the courses. The programme reveals that Yaakob claimed to have both a masters and a doctorate in business administration. But both were from a bogus university. Yaakob, who has four hit albums to his name, claimed to have qualifications from the European Business School (Cambridge), an offshoot of the Irish International University - which was exposed as a sham by the BBC in 2008. He said the University of Wales did not ask about his credentials, which were displayed prominently on the college website, until he was confronted by BBC Wales' education correspondent Ciaran Jenkins in Kuala Lumpur. In his resignation letter, Yaakob said: \"My role in Fazley International College is one of an investor. \"Though I hold a director's position, I have never been a part of the academic team nor have I sat at any of the academic meetings. \"As such, you can be assured that at no stage was the academic standards or the reputation of the university put at a compromise. To be honest I have only sat in at management meetings. \"Upon further reflection, I consider that to continue as a director could be damaging to the college, its student community and the dedicated staff who have worked hard to uphold the academic standards and integrity. \"It is quite clear that this continuing public controversy will undermine the reputation and the good relations between the college and the university, which I cannot, in any circumstances, allow. 'Public confidence' \"Therefore, I have decided to tender my resignation as the executive director of the college. \"It is my intention to keep fighting to clear my name and restore public confidence of my reputation. \"I sincerely apologise for having caused the university and its officials embarrassment. \"I do hope that the matter will be laid to rest and that the link between the university and FIC can be restored.\" The University of Wales has suspended its relationship with the college - one of three educational institutions it collaborates with in Malaysia - following the controversy. The university signed an agreement with FIC in 2007 and saw the first students admitted to its validated courses the following year, having gained provisional approvals from the Malaysian Qualifications Agency. But it has now decided not to recognise any additional admissions to its BA (Hons) Business Administration and MBA courses at the college until concerns have been fully investigated. The 35 students currently enrolled on University-validated courses will not be affected. University vice chancellor Marc Clement said: \"The principal doesn't himself teach on the course and I don't want to pre-judge the case, but I've taken this decision as a precaution to protect the reputation of the University of Wales. \"We are proud of the work we're doing internationally to take the educational values of a great Welsh institution to people who might not otherwise have the opportunity to study on validated courses, and it is important this mission isn't diluted by doubts about any of collaborative centres. \"Our validation team is experienced and highly skilled and travels regularly to collaborative centres to check the quality of the provision and work with local people to build capacity. \"Their job is to validate the courses we recognise, not the institution itself, and we're confident the university's validated courses at FIC meet our high academic standards. \"Our concern relates solely to the fact that the head of the institution has informed us of a controversy relating to his personal academic qualifications. \"This would not normally be relevant to the validation process, but we feel we have a duty to go beyond the letter of our rules so that the integrity of our courses is beyond any doubt.\" The University is the second largest degree awarding body in the UK after the University of London. In 2010, it awarded 20,000 degrees and other awards and had around 70,000 people studying on its courses, of which 13,704 were on validated programmes outside the UK.

The 46-year-old fell through a gap where a stairwell was due to be built. The firm, Nickell and Richmond Ltd, admitted four breaches of health and safety law at Belfast Crown Court. A prosecution barrister told the court that one of Mr McCloud's colleagues witnessed the victim falling from the first floor of the building, through the unprotected stairwell gap. \"He described how the deceased tried to grab a joist to save himself but fell onto the ground, landing on his head and shoulder,\" the barrister said. Mr McCloud, who was working with a team of bricklayers, fell backwards from a height of about 9ft (2.8m) onto a concrete floor. Hazard warnings 'moved' He was initially able to communicate and was taken to hospital, but he died six days later. As autopsy concluded he died from head injuries sustained \"in a backwards fall on a concrete floor\". The court heard that trestles and yellow hazard tape had been put in place the week before, but after the accident it became apparent they had been pushed back from the stairwell opening. The prosecution said the company, who were the \"principle contractors\" on the site, should have used appropriate safety measures such as guard rails and bird cage scaffolding when working at heights. Nickell and Richmond Ltd, based in Bangor, County Down, admitted four charges which included: The judge imposed a fine of £10,000 for each of the four breaches, but said: \"The penalty this court can impose cannot begin to measure the life of Mr McCloud. That's quite simply impossible.\" He added that after reading a statement from Mr McCloud's relatives, it was clear he was \"the strength of the family\" and someone they \"turned to for help and relied on\". 'Deepest regret' The company was represented in court by director Steven Nickell. Speaking after the fine was imposed, Mr Nickell said \"there is not a day passes that Terry is not in our thoughts\". \"Terry was a highly esteemed and popular friend and colleague, and his death has been deeply felt by all of us. \"On behalf of the directors and Terry's colleagues, I extend our heartfelt condolences to his family and express our deepest regret at what happened at our building site.\" The director added that it was working closely with the Health and Safety Executive to provide a safe workplace.",

            "input": "By Michael BuchananBBC News All but two of the Church's 44 dioceses had indicated support and indeed a majority of members of the synod were in favour. But a complicated voting system meant they fell 6 votes short of what was needed. The result left some supporters of the change in tears, others angry at the outcome. Those who had campaigned against any change were more relieved than delighted and vowed to work constructively to find a way forward. The vote was always going to be tight. The hurdle that supporters of women bishops had to overcome was high - they needed to get the support of at least two-thirds of the three sections of the synod - the houses of bishops, clergy and laity. 'Mission inhibited' Speaking afterwards, the Bishop of Liverpool, the Rt Rev James Jones, who had spoken passionately in favour of the change, said the vote would inhibit the Church's work. \"The Church of England serves the nation by having parishes all across the country, and thousands of those parishes are led by women. Therefore, not to have women bishops does inhibit us on our mission. But we're still hopeful that one day the door will finally open,\" he said. Most of the discussion within the synod centred on the provision being made to ensure that opponents of the change could, in good conscience, remain within the Church by having access to a male bishop. Tortuous negotiations had taken place over the exact wording of the clause. But it was overwhelmingly rejected by the very people it was intended to reassure. The Reverend Rose Hudson Wilkin, one of the Queen's chaplains and a strong supporter of the change, was furious at the efforts made to accommodate opponents. \"Those who can't take it will have to make a decision for themselves as to whether they stay or leave,\" she said. \"We cannot as a Church do what we have just done for the last 20 years - beat up on each other, fight with each other, argue with each other, no. We must make the best decision for the Church.\" Ranged against those pushing for change were a variety of groups. Some argued that the Bible teaches that only men can lead the Church, others were concerned that allowing women bishops would create deeper rifts with the Catholic Church at a time when Christian unity is needed. 'Get down to business' Lorna Ashworth, from the evangelical campaign group Reform, said it would now work to find a way to allow women to be consecrated as bishops. \"The Church has declared its mind on that subject. This is a spanner in the works for that, but it's an opportunity,\" she said. \"We have to get down to business now and do it absolutely correctly, and show those people on the outside that there is a reason to have confidence in this Church.\" The leadership of the Church were fully aware that the vote would be close and spoke out clearly in favour of change. The Archbishop of Canterbury, the Most Reverend Rowan Williams, had urged the synod to grasp this \"potentially liberating moment\" and allow the Church to move on. His successor, the Rt Rev Justin Welby, had also urged support, telling members \"the time is now\". Having failed to sway wavering members, he'll shortly have the thankless task of negotiating a way through a debate that divided the Church for more than a decade. The failure to get the necessary support means that the issue cannot be formally discussed by synod for at least three years. Many in the Church expect it to take even longer, with the potential for the debate to drag on for many years amid increasing questions within the Church itself about its relevance in wider society.",

Most countries' 4G networks are busiest between 20:00 and 23:00, but UK consumers were most active at 17:00. One expert said that the move to 5G should help speed fluctuations. The study was conducted by wireless coverage firm OpenSignal, which ranked the countries by download speeds experienced at different times of day. The data was gathered via an app installed on users' phones, which tracked speeds on more than 90 million devices. Along with the UK, Italy and Ukraine were among European countries experiencing speeds below 20Mbps at busy times. Belarus, Ireland, Poland and Russia all fell well below that speed. A speed of 20Mbps should make downloading a five-minute song pretty much instantaneous. 'Insatiable appetite' Among other findings was the discovery that London experienced some of the biggest swings in speeds, ranging from 17.5Mbps to 38Mbps. The only other city with bigger fluctuations was Paris. \"The benefits of 5G is that it not only delivers faster download speeds but crucially more capacity, which should go some way to alleviating problems of congestion in the network,\" said Matthew Howett, founder of research firm Assembly. \"All research points to the fact UK consumers have an insatiable appetite for data that is only going to grow over time, especially as 5G will in some instances be a replacement for fixed broadband.\" South Korea topped the table, with 4G speeds ranging from 40.8Mbps to 55.7Mbps.

            "input": "\"Everyone saw the difficulties of leaving it longer,\" a senior cabinet source told the BBC. Meanwhile, the BBC has seen a detailed suggested timetable of how the government could try to sell a deal to MPs and the public. It includes speeches from Theresa May and support from business figures and foreign leaders. The notes, which the government has dismissed, suggest the cabinet had hoped to review a Brexit withdrawal deal when it met earlier. Sources say a final deal was not presented to the cabinet but that ministers agreed they want a deal to be done this month and they could meet again later this week. Deal presentation plans? The UK is due to leave the EU on 29 March but the two sides have not yet agreed on the terms of its departure, with the Irish border proving the main sticking point. If a deal can be reached with the EU in time, Mrs May will then need to persuade her party - and the rest of Parliament - to support it in a key Commons vote. The notes seen by the BBC outline how ministers could present the deal, saying: \"The narrative is going to be measured success, that this is good for everyone but won't be all champagne corks popping.\" They refer to a speech by Mrs May to the CBI, saying: \"We have delivered on the referendum.\" And they go on to talk about the government \"lining up 25 top business voices...and lots of world leaders eg Japanese PM to tweet support for the deal\". It suggests the government would hope to declare they had made decisive progress and to get the deal through Parliament in less than three weeks. But a government spokesman said: \"The misspelling and childish language in this document should be enough to make clear it doesn't represent the government's thinking. \"You would expect the government to have plans for all situations - to be clear, this isn't one of them.\" The spokesman did not deny there were advanced plans for building support for a deal if and when it is concluded. Labour MP Hilary Benn, who chairs the Commons Brexit select committee, said Mrs May should concentrate on securing a deal rather than on how to sell an agreement that was not yet done. \"When you get a deal, you can think about how you are going to tell people about it,\" he told the BBC. Cabinet 'backstop' discussions Earlier, No 10 said the prime minister assured ministers that the cabinet would meet before the UK agreed to any deal on the terms of the UK's exit. The withdrawal deal is said to be 95% complete but the tricky bit is proving to be how to honour the commitment by both sides to guarantee no new hard border in Ireland. There is disagreement on whether this \"backstop\" should apply to Northern Ireland, or the whole of the UK - and on whether it should be time-limited or revoked by the UK. At the cabinet meeting it is understood ministers discussed the mechanism for governing the backstop and who should decide when it no longer applied. Attorney General Geoffrey Cox is understood to have set out the legal position for an independent review mechanism for the backstop. He is believed to have told ministers there is a legal \"spectrum\" of what is possible to prevent the UK from being trapped \"in limbo\". The Irish border is an issue because after Brexit it will become the UK's land border with the rest of the EU, which has a single market and customs union so products do not need to be checked when they pass between member states. EU negotiator Michel Barnier told a Belgian broadcaster that the Irish border remained the main hurdle to be overcome but if enough progress is made he would recommend that a summit is convened to finalise the deal. Lorry permits Meanwhile, the government has published the criteria for allocating scarce permits for British truckers who need to drive in the EU after Brexit. The permits will be shared out based on: vehicle emissions, number of international journeys in the previous year, number of international journeys as a percentage of all journeys, type of goods transported and an element of chance. The Department for Transport document says the permits would be required for a no deal scenario BUT might also be required after the future economic partnership is agreed, depending on the type of deal.",

            "input": "By Lucy AdamsPolitical correspondent, BBC Scotland It follows the government's 2014 move to cut the drink-drive limit from 80mg to 50mg in every 100ml of blood. England and Wales introduced drug-driving limits and roadside testing two years ago. The Scottish government has previously been criticised for not implementing the same regulations. Justice Secretary Michael Matheson told BBC Scotland he wanted the new drink-drive limits to bed in before introducing drug testing. Currently in Scotland, it is illegal to drive if impaired by drugs - whether they are prescription drugs or illegal substances like cocaine. But under the changes, there would be specific limits for certain drugs - as there is with alcohol - and a zero tolerance approach to others. The aim is to make it quicker and easier to hold drug-drivers to account as it would remove the requirement to prove that someone was driving in an impaired manner. How the test works The law introduced in England and Wales two years ago set low limits for eight illegal drugs, including cannabis and cocaine, and higher levels for eight prescription drugs, including morphine and methadone. Those using prescription drugs within recommended amounts are not penalised. Under the legislation, officers can use \"drugalysers\" to check for cannabis and cocaine. The testing kit uses a mouth swab to check for the presence of drugs and a blue line appears after eight minutes if the person has taken them. Drivers have to be taken to a police station for a blood test for other drugs including ecstasy, LSD, ketamine and heroin. Officers can do this even if a driver passes the roadside check. Currently, when police suspect a motorist of drug-driving, they carry out the roadside \"field impairment test\". If the individual fails this, they can be arrested and taken to a police station where a doctor must certify that the person is impaired to the extent that they are unfit to drive. A driver will then be asked to provide a blood sample. But this process can be lengthy. The impairment test alone takes between 10 and 15 minutes to complete. In the first year after 2015 when forces in England and Wales introduced roadside drugalysers - which test saliva for cannabis and cocaine - nearly 8,000 people were arrested for drug-driving. The Scottish Conservatives and safety campaigners have criticised the Scottish government for not introducing the tests sooner. Enhanced powers Mr Matheson said: \"This government prioritised lowering the drink-driving limit in 2014 with evidence showing greater numbers of lives lost on our roads due to drink-driving than drug-driving. \"With the lower blood-alcohol limit well established, I want to give our law enforcement agencies enhanced powers to tackle drug-driving and so make our roads even safer. \"While it is a long-standing offence to drive while impaired by drugs, by introducing new drug-driving limits and roadside testing for the presence of drugs, we will strengthen the ability of our police and prosecutors to tackle the minority of drivers who recklessly put other road-users and themselves at risk.\" He added: \"Under the new offence, evidence of impaired driving will not be required with our law enforcement agencies instead able to investigate and prosecute on the basis of a driver being above the specified limits for individual drug types. \"Subject to Parliament's agreement and once the new regime is in force, Scotland will be at the forefront of efforts across the UK to tackle drivers who either drink or take drugs - with both the lowest drink-drive limit operating in these islands and drug-driving limits in place.\" The Scottish government and others, including the police, are now looking at which drugs need to be included and what the best test and technology would be. Insp Brian Poole, of Police Scotland, said officers would welcome any move to make Scotland's roads safer. \"The impairment test is a valuable tool,\" he said. \"The downside is that not all police officers in Scotland are trained in its use. It's mainly road safety officers. \"In addition, it takes 10-15 minutes and we have to find a suitable place for it to take place. \"Clearly the middle of a motorway is not suitable. We potentially have to take someone away to somewhere more suitable - which we are entitled to do but there are issues around time.\" He added: \"Taking alcohol or drugs and getting behind the wheel is clearly very risky. Anything we can do legislatively or educationally to stop that is to be welcomed. \"This is not just about illicit drugs. This is about any drug that impairs your ability to drive. If someone takes the decision to get behind the wheel when not fit to drive, the consequences can be catastrophic.\" Current penalties The introduction of drug-drive limits was among a number of recommendations by Sir Peter North QC in 2010 in his independent report commissioned by the UK government. Sir Peter said: \"I believe that such reforms, when combined with the well-regarded decision to lower the drink-drive limit, will make a major contribution to road safety in Scotland.\" The current penalties - reserved to Westminster - include a minimum 12-month driving ban, up to six months in prison and a fine of up to £5,000. The new offence of driving while above specified drug limits will, when in force, operate alongside the current offence and carry the same maximum penalties.",

Earlier Mr Salmond had told parliament funding in the sector was going up. He said he had not been misleading and had used the figures in good faith. Mr Salmond added that his Education Secretary Mike Russell was also sorry. Before the afternoon's parliamentary business got under way, Labour lodged a point of order on the matter. The party's education spokesman Hugh Henry said the first minister had been guilty either of incompetence or of misleading parliament. Deputy Presiding Officer John Scott said the veracity or otherwise of ministerial statements was not a matter for him. Shortly before 17:00, Mr Salmond entered the chamber and said there had been no intention to mislead. He had earlier told MSPs that resource funding for colleges was £545m in 2011-12 and £546m in the current financial year. However, he explained the figure of £545m for last year did not take into account changes to the budget and should have been £555.7 million. \"Let me make clear I take full responsibility for what I say in this chamber, therefore I have taken this earliest opportunity to correct the figure,\" he said. \"I apologise to the chamber for this error.\" The first minister went on to tell MSPs that Mr Russell would write a letter to the presiding officer apologising and making clear his own regret over the matter. But Labour's Scottish leader Johann Lamont was not happy. She said once again Mr Salmond had shown that the interests of his career came above the interests of the Scottish people. Ms Lamont said: \"After the European debacle, after this, how can we ever believe a word Alex Salmond says again?\" The apology came after Mr Salmond had insisted during FMQs that resource funding for colleges was up. He was responding to questions from Ms Lamont, who claimed Mr Russell had misled the parliament over college funding figures. Mr Salmond responded: \"He [Mr Russell] was correct, the funding position, resource funding for colleges, is £545m in 2011-12 and in 2012-13 it's £546m.\" But Ms Lamont told the first minister both the Auditor General and figures from the Scottish Parliament's independent information centre showed that \"the cabinet secretary was, in fact, wrong\". She said: \"College budgets have been cut this year. In the light of these independently-sourced facts, was Mike Russell right or was he misleading parliament?\" However, Mr Salmond insisted the public spending watchdog had failed to take account of funding announced after the SNP unveiled its draft budget. Following the apology, the Conservatives called for an independent audit into college budgets. Finance spokesman Gavin Brown said: \"If you play fast and loose with figures, you are bound to get caught out eventually - too often the first minister puts bombast, bluster and boastfulness before accuracy and clarity. Liberal Democrat education spokesman Liam McArthur said the stronger the assertions from ministers over figures, the more likely those numbers were to be \"wholly wrong\".",

Another 56 measles cases have been reported to PHW since Tuesday. The total figure for the epidemic in the Swansea area now stands at 942. The size of the Urdd festival, and the fact it involves children travelling from across Wales, has led to the immunisation warning. With around 15,000 competitors and 100,000 visitors expected to converge for the youth event, public health officials fear it could result in the infection being spread to other parts of Wales. \"We know that measles is highly contagious - it spreads from person to person very easily,\" Dr Rhianwen Stiff, PHW speciality registrar in public health told BBC Radio Cymru. \"What we suggest is that everyone who is going to compete in the Urdd, or will be visiting, has checked with their GP before they go that they have had two MMR jabs,\" she added. The 2013 Urdd Eisteddfod will be held in Cilwendeg, just south of Cardigan, from 27 May to 1 June. Urdd chief executive Efa Gruffudd Jones said organisers were in constant contact with PHW to discuss the best way of advising visitors. The event's website also has a message from PHW warning people about the outbreak and urging everyone to check they are immunised. The Urdd Eisteddfod claims to be Europe's largest arts youth festival, with thousands of young people from across Wales visiting the event every year for music, dance, performance, art and poetry competitions in the Welsh language. Latest figures show the number of measles cases in the Hywel Dda health board area, which includes Pembrokeshire, have passed 100. However, the bulk of the 942 cases in mid and west Wales are around Swansea. Dr Marion Lyons, PHW director of health protection, said the increase of cases on Thursday shows the outbreak is not easing up, especially in the 10 to 18 year old age group. She added: \"Young people have important examinations coming up and we need to make sure that those aged between 10 and 18 are vaccinated so their preparation for these examinations are not affected. \"Vaccination sessions are continuing in schools throughout Wales and I urge pupils and their parents to take advantage of these. \"We have seen that measles can be potentially fatal and no one should be complacent about the severity of measles. It can kill but can be prevented by a simple, safe vaccine.\" A third week of MMR clinics at schools in Swansea and Neath Port Talbot will begin on Monday and drop-in vaccination sessions will again be held across the outbreak area this Saturday. Meanwhile further tests will be carried out on a man who died while suffering from measles after post-mortem examination results were inconclusive. Gareth Colfer-Williams, 25, who died last week at his home in Swansea, had other health problems as well as measles. The Swansea coroner's office said on Thursday that the examination was unable to establish whether measles was the main cause of his death.",

In Syria, it is not the Facebook generation that is taking to the streets. It is people who are tired of poverty and repression. The demonstrations in Deraa - where the police have reacted most brutally - started on Friday. Several families had gathered to demand the release of 15 school children who - influenced by the protests in Tunisia and Egypt - wrote the popular revolution slogan on the wall: \"The people want the fall of the regime\". Residents say the children's arrests in the tribal region deepened feelings of repression and helped fuel the protests in Deraa. Security forces opened fire on the protesters on Friday, killing three people. A fourth died from his wounds on Saturday, rights groups say. One YouTube video from Friday shows protesters chanting \"Freedom, no fear after today\". In another, people are carrying the bloodied body of Amer al-Jawabra, one of those killed. Before long, gunshots are heard, and the men are forced to run for cover. 'Rise up' Today, the police have used tear gas against thousands who were attending the funeral of two of the victims. Now, the slogans appear to be harsher. The mourners called for \"revolution\" - the boldest challenge to Syria's rulers since uprisings began sweeping the Arab world. \"Revolution, revolution. Rise up Hauran,\" chanted the mourners in Deraa, administrative capital of the strategic Hauran plateau, as they marched behind simple wood coffins of Wissam Ayyash and Mahmoud al-Jawabra. \"God, Syria, freedom. Whoever kills his own people is a traitor,\" they were quoted as saying by Reuters news agency. Eyewitnesses told the BBC that residents of Deraa were expecting more trouble in the coming days and hours. The communication lines appear to be down, and the security presence is high. Analyst and writer Louai al-Hussein said that the inevitable had happened. \"Syria is now on the map of countries in the region with an uprising,\" he said. The al-Watan newspaper, which is close to the regime, says the authorities have decided to open a high-level investigation into the killings on Friday. They have also pledged to respond to people's demands in Deraa that the arrested school children be freed. Arrests The government has announced several measures to improve the situation in Syria in the wake of the popular uprisings in Tunisia and Egypt that toppled the presidents of those countries. President Bashar al-Assad told the Wall Street Journal in January that Syria's leadership was \"very closely linked to the beliefs of the people\" and there was no mass discontent. Many in Syria say the hope was for the government to introduce real change, especially to improve their job prospects and living standards. Syria suffers similar problems to Egypt and Tunisia - poverty is high and the country has been under one-party rule for almost 50 years. But the margin of freedom is smaller in Syria. Syria has been under emergency law since 1963, and political freedoms are almost entirely absent. On Wednesday, the police arrested around 36 protesters who went to interior ministry calling for the release of political prisoners. Thirty-three of them, including women, were charged with weakening national morale and compromising the state. They are reported to have started a hunger strike, and Hirvin Orso, who stopped drinking water, is said to be in a critical condition. How things go now will depend on the government's response, says writer Louai al-Hussein. \"They will either oppress it, and it will get worse, or [they can] allow peaceful demonstrations in Syria,\" he says.",

Ofcom has launched a campaign dubbed Boost Your Broadband to let people know about what options are available. It follows years of effort to ensure that fast internet reaches as much of the country as possible. A website to accompany the campaign will allow people to check what broadband they can receive in their area, as well as providing independent information on how to get the best deal. The regulator also announced proposals to force broadband and mobile firms to tell customers about their best available deal, both when their deals are coming to an end, and every year after that if they don't change them. It also plans to investigate broadband firms' pricing practices to examine why some customers pay more than others. It is particularly keen to look at introductory offers that run out. It estimates that customers who take a landline and broadband service together are paying an average of 19% more once their discounted deal has expired. It is currently reviewing how mobile operators charge their customers for handsets when bundled with airtime in a single contract. Sharon White, chief executive of Ofcom, said: \"We're concerned that many loyal broadband customers aren't getting the best deal they could. So we're reviewing broadband pricing practices and ensuring customers get clear, accurate information from their provider about the best deals they offer.\" Katie Milligan, a manager at Openreach, which provides much of the UK's broadband network said: \"More than 17 million homes and businesses could order a better service over our network today, but haven't yet.\" \"That means they're missing out on more reliable connections that would allow them to work from home more effectively, access entertainment and use multiple smart devices around the house, all at the same time and without interruption.\" She urged consumers to get in touch with their providers to find out what deals they could get. Ofcom's findings are borne out by earlier research carried out by price comparison service uSwitch, which found that more than a third of those living on streets with slow broadband had access to much faster services. Richard Neudegg, head of regulation at uSwitch welcomed Ofcom's plans to intervene. \"Historically in telecoms, not enough has been done to put the power back into consumers' hands. If customers are given the right tools, there is a real chance to improve households' experience of services that are now critical in their day-to-day lives.\" \"As our slowest street data brought to life, consumers are getting very different outcomes from the broadband market - and in many cases, this is simply due to a lack of awareness about the better services available to them.\" Matthew Howett, founder of research firm Assembly, thinks the reason many do not upgrade is a combination of apathy and contentment with the service they have. \"I think fundamentally most households are generally satisfied with the speeds they are getting, and find their needs are met although, of course, this changes when you introduce larger families, multiple streams of HDTV, and online gaming. \"All of these more bandwidth-intense services will push up a household's requirements. The other thing to consider is the complexity faced when choosing a broadband package. \"While there are many good tools to help consumers shop around for the best deal, different contract durations, introductory tariffs, and added extras make changing package or supplier a daunting prospect for some.\"",

The BBC's Somali service says there have been 10 deaths and at least 20 civilians are reported injured. Security had been tightened in the city over Ramadan to prevent attacks. The Islamist militant group, which is fighting to overthrow the Western-backed government, usually intensifies its attacks during the holy month, which began in May this year. As a result, authorities had put in more roadblocks and checkpoints. But this latest assault, which was immediately claimed by al-Shabab, has proved that it is still capable of large scale attacks, as well as the targeted assassinations it had been carrying out more recently. One of the car bombs was detonated outside the interior ministry, which is also used by the police, and the other near the presidential palace at about 11:00 local time (08:00 GMT). Abdiasis Abu Musab, al-Shabab's military operations spokesman, earlier told Reuters news agency that the group had fighters \"still inside the building\", while witnesses reported heavy gunfire being exchanged in the area. Police have since told broadcaster al-Jazeera that all the militants had been killed in a two-hour gun battle.

            "input": "By Sean CoughlanBBC News family and education correspondent \"Not everyone can afford to go out of their area. Train tickets are expensive and there's most likely accommodation as well.\" This is peak season for university open days, when tens of thousands of teenagers and their families are criss-crossing the country viewing places where they might study. A return trip by train from north to south can cost £200 or even £300. And even with railcard discounts, when there might be four or five universities to visit, the open-day season can soon become an unaffordable closed door. For those driving, there are still fuel costs. And longer journeys by coach can mean having to pay for an overnight stay. But these costs seem to have slipped below the radar - even though they might be directly limiting the choices of disadvantaged students. There is no charge to attend these events. But Rachel says the travel costs mean she has effectively ruled out universities in the North of England. \"I wouldn't want to apply to a city I hadn't been to before, in case I'd regret it,\" she says. Anne-Marie Canning, director of social mobility at King's College London, says this is a much bigger barrier than has been recognised. Among all the theoretical debates about social mobility, one really practical problem that gets overlooked is the eye-wateringly expensive price of train travel. 'Number one problem' \"We invited parents to talk about reasons for people not going to university,\" says Ms Canning, who has been working with disadvantaged families. She expected responses to be about tuition fees and student finance and whether their children would get the exam grades. \"But the number one problem was, 'I know I can't take them to an open day. I can't afford those train tickets,'\" she says. \"It's a major barrier,\" she says, particularly for families where going to university is already \"unfamiliar territory\". There is no obligation to attend an open day but Ms Canning says parents saw it as a necessary step before making such a big financial commitment. 'It is unfair' Rachel has been supported in her studies by the Villiers Park Educational Trust, a social mobility charity that works with high ability youngsters from disadvantaged backgrounds. The charity's programme director, Deborah Richardson, says the cost of getting to open days is a direct limitation on choice. \"It is a major factor in what students are choosing to do and which universities they are choosing to go to,\" she says. \"It is unfair. We all know rail fares are phenomenal in this country, particularly if they're choosing to go at the last minute. Planning an open day in advance isn't always easy,\" she says. \"Independent schools will put on a minibus. They'll take 10 or 15 people to Manchester, Oxford, Cambridge, Newcastle or wherever because they can do it - but not every state school can.\" It's usually left to parents to provide the money and organisation for their teenagers, so they can meet tutors, find out about applying for courses and check out the accommodation. And when thousands of families are descending on a university town at the same time, the trains are not going to be cheap. The University of Bristol had 30,000 people booking for its two open days this summer. Financial commitment Sadie, from Hastings, in East Sussex, says her friends are working out which universities they can afford to reach. She won't look any further north than Nottingham, which means ruling out places she might otherwise have considered, such as Newcastle and Durham. She says \"applying blind\" to a university without visiting would be too much of a risk. \"You can't really get a sense of the environment of the university and whether it's something that suits you,\" says Sadie, who is also part of a group of sixth-formers being supported by the Villiers Park trust. \"It's such a big financial commitment, you need to make an informed decision. I wouldn't apply to somewhere I haven't been, out of the fear that I would hate it and waste my money completely,\" says Lauren Hampson, from Plymouth. \"You have to see something to decide whether you like it,\" she says. \"You may have your heart set on a university and it looks amazing - but when you go there, you might hate it.\" 'Closes you off' But does that mean a significant limit on where she is likely to apply? \"Definitely - it does close you off from universities,\" Sadie says. Sarah, from Plymouth, says she probably wouldn't go any further than London. \"It's quite hard if you have to pay for the trains and accommodation,\" she says. \"I don't think it's fair that other people may have better opportunities to go and see them and make a better decision about where to go.\" Ethan, also from Plymouth, says open days are needed to \"see the actual students, the atmosphere, the general sense of their life there - and not just how they make it look nice online\". Showcase events Open days are more important than ever to universities - they have to compete for students and their tuition fees. So open days have become showcase recruitment events, with academics, admissions staff and accommodation advisers on hand. The cost of travel is recognised as a challenge, with a number of universities offering means-tested bursaries. For instance, the University of East Anglia has had 94 applications for help from individuals and 28 schools this year. The University of Sheffield provides some free overnight accommodation for open days, with more than 500 staying so far this year. \"We know our travel bursaries and overnight accommodation offer make it possible for students who otherwise wouldn't have been able to afford it,\" says the university's head of widening participation, James Busson. Durham offers up to £100 towards travel costs for certain groups of potential applicants, including those who have been in care. At Oxford, several individual colleges offer support, including Keble, Magdalen and Merton. Anne-Marie Canning says her university, King's College London, offers help with travel costs. But she says there needs to be a much more joined-up approach and careful consideration of the links between transport and access to education. Universities between them spend more than £800m per year on widening access - but that depends on young people being able to get to see the university in the first place. A spokesman for the Rail Delivery Group, which represents train operators and Network Rail, said \"there are lots of cheap tickets available\" to help students get to open days. \"Our range of railcards offer a third off most fares, we're running double the number of long-distance trains compared to 20 years and we're introducing thousands of new trains with more seats,\" he said.",

I think they learn in a different way.\" The school, which could open in 2016, would be based in Hammersmith, west London. The application to the Department for Education, submitted this week, was backed by Mr Livingstone's several trustees including Barnaby Lenon, former headmaster at Harrow, and Marion Gibbs, head teacher at James Allen School for Girls in East Dulwich. Also on the board is David Cramer, who owns international rights for the Rubik's Cube. By bringing gaming elements into the learning process, Mr Livingstone argued, students would learn how to problem-solve rather than just how to pass exams. A Department for Education spokesman said: \"Free schools are giving parents real choice and children of all backgrounds the chance to achieve excellence. We welcome all innovative and exciting free school proposals. \"The application process is very competitive and all proposals are rigorously assessed before they are approved.\" Angry Birds Mr Livingstone is best known for being the man behind huge franchises such as Tomb Raider and tabletop game Warhammer. In the 80s, his Fighting Fantasy books brought an interactive element to reading that proved extremely popular. Speaking to the BBC about the plans, Mr Livingstone said he wanted to bring those interactive principles to schooling, but stressed the school would provide learning across all core subjects. \"We're not trying to be radical in any sense,\" he said. \"Of course, you have to have a broad and balanced curriculum and make sure there's rigour in all subjects. But it's using a discipline like computer science to have hopefully a deeper understanding of the subjects that you're learning.\" He criticised other schools for relying on tests that he argued were more about assessing the school than the children in it. \"There needs to be a shift in the pedagogy of learning in classrooms because there's still an awful lot of testing and conformity instead of diversity. \"I'm not saying knowledge is bad - I'm just trying to get a bit more know-how into the curriculum.\" He said he considers the trial-and-error nature of creating games as a key model for learning. \"For my mind, failure is just success work-in-progress. Look at any game studio and the way they iterate. Angry Birds was Rovio's 51st game. \"You're allowed to fail. Games-based learning allows you to fail in a safe environment.\" School expansion Free schools are a major part of the government's plan to find more school spaces around the country. In London alone, 90,000 more spaces are said to be needed by 2016. However, some oppose the growth of free schools, saying it makes it harder to launch state-funded community schools. In response to the freeing up of land for nine more free schools in the capital, Bob Stapley from the National Union of Teachers said: \"London certainly needs more school places, what we don't need is lots of free schools which are state-funded, independent schools. \"The crisis we've got is because the government is ideologically obsessed with free schools. \"Local authorities can no longer open community schools, they can't plan provision of school places and it is left to market forces. \"It simply isn't an effective way of providing education.\" Follow Dave Lee on Twitter @DaveLeeBBC",

            "input": "Among the avalanche of tweets that have so far defined Mr Trump's presidency, one foreign policy issue stands out - North Korea. When ranking the number of mentions by country, North Korea (31) comes second only to Russia (90, although most Russia tweets relate to the US domestic political debate) and it beats China (27) into a close third place. With the president now warning of \"fire and fury\", we thought it was time for a Reality Check on this constant and evolving insight into his thinking. What does his Twitter feed @realDonaldTrump tell us about the assumptions and beliefs behind his approach to one of the most pressing security issues of our time? So we're training our reality radar on four of his key North Korea messages since being elected. On 5 August 2017, President Trump declared the UN had agreed a sanctions package that would cost North Korea $1bn. This latest set of sanctions, agreed unanimously by the UN Security Council, was heralded by Mr Trump as a diplomatic victory - the culmination of months of work to try to get China on side. There is no doubt that the measures are considerably tougher. They include, for example, the removal of the civilian \"livelihood\" exemption in the previous sanctions package that allowed North Korea and China to continue trading coal and iron ore in large volumes. But $1bn of difference? Although the figure was supported by at least two other Security Council members (France and Japan), as always the extent of the economic pain inflicted will depend entirely on the willingness of China, North Korea's biggest trading partner, to enforce the new sanctions. Reality Check Verdict: Close enough. The $1bn figure is a best-case scenario, for President Trump, but the sanctions do represent a significant shift, on paper at least. Since his inauguration, President Trump's tweets on China's performance regarding North Korea have veered from high optimism to angry pessimism, and back again. In July 2017, his frustration was front and centre as he tweeted: \"Trade between China and North Korea grew almost 40% in the first quarter. So much for China working with us - but we had to give it a try!\" This goes right to the nub of the issue of China's enforcement of sanctions. There are some signs that China is beginning to bow to pressure when it comes to general trade, such as commodities. Earlier this year, it did finally stop buying North Korean coal, a major source of foreign currency for Pyongyang, and for the first half of this year, China said its total imports of all goods fell by 13.2%, as reported in the Chinese state newspaper the Global Times. But North Korea is still a long way from being squeezed until its pips squeak. Mr Trump was (almost) right about the 40% increase in total two-way trade with China in the first quarter. The actual figure, according to the Global Times, was 37.4%, although it added that this figure bucked an overall downward trend since 2014, and by May the increase for 2017 so far had dropped to 13.7%. But the same state media editorial makes it clear that pushing Pyongyang to the limit is \"not what the UN resolutions are intended to do, nor what the Chinese public wants\". President Trump's statements that China could do more are backed up by the views of many other observers. A 2017 UN report linked North Korean rocket components to Chinese companies. There are other credible claims, including one by C4ADS, about the continuing transfer of technology via China. Reality Check Verdict: Spot on. China's stated priority is stability in North Korea, not regime collapse. It is never going to push its old ally too hard. Mr Trump's suspicious barbs are justified. President Trump's tweet in April that if China \"want to solve the North Korean problem, they will\" is another aspect of his thinking/tweeting that needs testing - his basic premise that, if properly applied, economic pressure might persuade North Korea to give up its weapons programme. Going by North Korea's own words, this seems unlikely. Pyongyang makes it clear via its state news agency KCNA that it sees nuclear weapons as an issue of regime survival. It has learned lessons from the toppling of Saddam Hussein in the non-nuclear armed Iraq, and of Col Muammar Gaddafi after he had given up his weapons programmes in Libya. And it has shown it is nothing if not resilient, enduring a devastating famine during the 1990s throughout which it continued developing its missiles and rockets. The more that sanctions can be made to push North Korea to the brink, and the more alarming and believable the hints of regime change from Washington, the more compelling becomes the logic of a credible nuclear deterrent by which to gain strategic leverage. Reality Check Verdict: Wide of the mark. While sanctions may delay and frustrate North Korea's attempts to gain nuclear-tipped missiles, they are unlikely on their own to stop them. Mr Trump's first tweet about North Korea after his election in November last year set it out as his key foreign policy priority. After North Korea said, in January, that it had successfully miniaturised nuclear warheads that could reach the US, he said \"it won't happen\". It goes hand in hand with his claim that, in the mission to disarm North Korea, his administration will succeed where his predecessors have failed. What is certainly the case is that North Korea's decades-old nuclear weapons programme has been significantly ramped up under Kim Jong-un and is now at a critical phase. It has startled experts with the speed of its progress, with many now saying it has recently proved it has long-range missiles capable of reaching major US cities. According to information leaked to the Washington Post, US intelligence officials now believe North Korea's claim that it has the technology to fit its missiles with nuclear warheads. Japan's defence ministry has also recently stated this is a possibility. And the varied geographical spread of its test firings has also led to concerns. The Nuclear Threat Initiative has analysed the locations of the tests, and says they could indicate that North Korea is now working in earnest towards rolling out its weapons to missile units around the country in preparation to deploy them. The stakes couldn't be higher, and yet the messages coming from the Trump administration are confusingly mixed. Just a week before Mr Trump spoke of \"fire and fury\" his Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson, told a press conference: \"We're trying to convey to the North Koreans, 'We are not your enemy, we are not your threat.'\" Mr Tillerson has also been suggesting that the door to dialogue with North Korea might have been left open a crack. That latter road, of course, would lead to the same set of imperfect choices that has bedevilled every US president since the first George Bush. In the end, all administrations have had to deal with the realities as they find them - a reluctant China, a determined and resilient North Korea and the incalculable cost in human life of any kind of military solution. Many seasoned North Korean observers are hoping that Mr Trump too comes to realise that the reason his predecessors have failed is precisely because there are no easy solutions. Reality Check Verdict: Failed. As for not allowing a nuclear North Korea on his watch, our radar detects that for this particular Trump tweet, it is already too late.

The conference in Cardiff on Thursday marks the 40th anniversary of the watchdogs, but will set out challenges on how they need to change. The CHCs believe too few patients know they exist and they also need to be easier to access and to work together more effectively.

Reorganisation of hospital services had led to concerns, especially in rural areas where distance and transport issues can be \"exceptionally worrying\".

CHCs will unveil a formal link with HIW, which is responsible for inspecting and regulating healthcare in Wales. The patients' body has already held joint inspections at 38 GP surgeries last year during a pilot project. The desire to revamp how they operate is set against a background of: CHCs were scrapped in England but kept in Wales. New legislation is also due to come into effect next month which aims to bring a more consistent approach in how the network of eight CHCs work across Wales. The CHC board will be challenged with giving the organisation more of a focus. It also hopes to work more closely with the Older People's Commissioner and the care social services inspectorate.",

            "input": "Numbers have been steadily increasing since 1995, when 426 fatal overdoses were recorded. The latest statistics from the National Records of Scotland showed more than 70% of deaths were among people aged 35 or over. Critics say the continuing rise calls into question the effectiveness of the Scottish government's drugs strategy. However, the minister for public health, Aileen Campbell, said \"unfortunately\" the figures for Scotland were representative of a general trend of increasing drug deaths \"across the UK and in many other parts of Europe\". 'No easy solutions' She added that the problem in Scotland was complex and based on a legacy of drugs misuse \"stretching back decades\". Ms Campbell explained: \"What we are seeing is an ageing group of people who are long term drugs users. \"They have a pattern of addiction which is very difficult to break, and they have developed other chronic medical conditions as a result of this prolonged drugs use.\" She said she recognised more needed to be done but that there were \"no easy solutions\". The Scottish Conservatives urged ministers to embark on a new strategy in light of the \"appalling\" figures and the Scottish Greens said there was \"little sense\" in funding cuts to initiatives combating drug and alcohol problems. A breakdown of the figures showed that; Dave Liddell, chief executive of the Scottish Drugs Forum, said the scale of the problem was a \"national tragedy that requires a fundamental rethink of our approach\". He said: \"Other countries have achieved a reduction in overdose deaths by ensuring that people are appropriately retained in high-quality treatment and we must aspire to do the same.\" Is being drug-free the only solution? In 2008, the Scottish government introduced its Road to Recovery strategy focused on tackling the country's drug problems \"through prevention, treatment and rehabilitation, education and enforcement\". Danny Campbell, who is project manager at North Edinburgh Drug Advice Centre, believed the strategy had been \"distorted\" to become \"just about abstinence\". He insisted that becoming drug free was not the right solution for all addicts. Mr Campbell told BBC Scotland's social affairs correspondent: \"The Road to Recovery was about whole journey from chaos to an element that may not include abstinence. \"It may be that some of those clients are going to have medication of some kind to help them cope with life, whether it be physical health or mental health conditions, anxiety, depression and therefore total abstinence is never going to be a realistic place for them to be in.\" The latest rise in the number of drugs deaths has prompted campaigner Julie Biggley to highlight that behind every statistic is a human being with a story. Her nephew Graham Biggley died earlier this year from a drugs overdose. He was the fourth member of her family to die from addiction - she has also lost a cousin and two nieces in recent years. Ms Biggley helps run Kilmarnock-based Someone Else's Addiction (SEA) which supports families of drug abusers. Of those who die from overdoses, she said: \"These are people, these are people's family - daughters, sons, they are not just statistics. I believe that those best to support are the families, but the families can't cope, they can't cope themselves.\" What opposition parties are saying Scottish Conservative health spokesman Miles Briggs said the figures were nothing short of \"appalling\". He went on to urge the government to embark on a new drugs strategy. Mr Briggs said: \"People will be stunned that the death rate here is more than twice that of the rest of the UK, and that poses some extremely tough questions for the Scottish Government. For decades now we've had a drugs policy that simply parks people on methadone programmes, offering them zero hope of ever beating addiction completely.\" Scottish Green health spokeswoman, Alison Johnstone, said that given the rise in drug deaths it made \"little sense\" as to why the Scottish government had cut funding for drug and alcohol initiatives. She added: We need a serious rethink of how we support people with addictions. Often, they are being asked to jump through hoops, where rather than making a single phone call to register for support, they are instructed to make phone calls and attend appointments at specific times - no easy thing to do if you're struggling with addiction and a chaotic lifestyle and little support. Regardless of location, equal access to a range of treatment is key.\" Scottish Labour's Monica Lennon also criticised cuts to funding for alcohol and drug partnerships. She said: \"SNP ministers need to give themselves a shake and take responsibility for their actions. If you under-fund vital substance misuse services, people die. I urge the SNP Government to have the courage to take a different course.\"",

She and a neighbour tried to give CPR before Cobie was airlifted to hospital in Plymouth and later transferred to Bristol Children's Hospital, where he died.

Ex-master Vincent Rochford, also 87, faces two charges: child cruelty and assault causing actual bodily harm. Both men deny all the charges against them. The allegations relate to excessive beatings of boys who had misbehaved, involving 16 complainants now in their 60s, and date from 1966 to 1972, Birmingham Crown Court heard. The boys' school was run by the Catholic De La Salle Order of Christian Brothers under the governance of the Home Office.

Every department will see a real terms revenue cut of at least 5% over the next three years. Opposition parties accused Labour of using \"smoke and mirrors\", cutting the economy minister's budget and being too timid. Without an overall majority, Labour will need the opposition's help to get their budget through the assembly. The housing, regeneration and heritage department will take the biggest hit next year, losing 4.9% of its budget. Funding for the business and enterprise portfolio will fall £8.9m to £271m. Unveiling a draft budget worth around £14.5bn to Welsh assembly members, Finance Minister Jane Hutt said Labour was acting like a \"responsible government with a credible budget\". She announced funding to train 4,000 young people and extra cash for the NHS. Ministers are braced for a real terms cut in their overall budget of 12% between 2010/11 and 2014/15. By the end of the period and after accounting for inflation, the capital budget will be half what it was two years ago. Revenue spending will return to what it was in 2005/06, in \"stark contrast\" to the growing budgets in the first decade of devolution, ministers said. In a statement to the Senedd chamber in Cardiff Bay, Ms Hutt said there would be a national infrastructure plan with \"innovative funding solutions\". She repeated a call for the Welsh government to be allowed to borrow money. Labour occupies half the seats in the assembly, meaning its spending plans will not be approved unless at least one opposition member votes in favour or abstains. The arithmetic could give opposition parties an opportunity to secure some of their spending proposals. The Conservatives want protection for the health budget, Plaid Cymru has called for more money for the economy and the Liberal Democrats will not back the budget without extra funding for education and skills. New spending commitments will be largely paid for from dipping into the government's reserves. Ms Hutt said £75m would be spent over three years on training 4,000 young people and £55m would be available to extend the pre-school Flying Start programme for underprivileged children. An extra £288m will be spent on the NHS over three years, £48.5m of which has already been announced to help cut orthopaedic waiting times. Despite modest cash increases, revenue spending on health and social services - the biggest part of the budget - will fall 5.8% in real terms during that time. Money will also be available to recruit 500 new police community support officers. The minister said: \"Our vision for Wales is for a more prosperous economy with better, more efficient public services that equip people to fulfil their potential and maximise their contribution to society and the economy.\" For the Tories, shadow finance minister Paul Davies said: \"This is Welsh Labour's budget of smoke and mirrors. \"Over the coming weeks, we hope Welsh Labour will ditch their tribalism of the past and work constructively with opposition parties in the Welsh national interest.\" Plaid leader Ieuan Wyn Jones said the government could not claim it had a budget for jobs and growth when it was cutting the budget of the economy minister. 'Bare minimum' \"How will this government be equipped to take action to save jobs and respond to the worsening economic crisis?\" he said. A Welsh government spokesman said creating jobs was a \"key priority across government\", not the sole responsibility of one department. Welsh Lib Dem finance spokesman Peter Black said: \"Sadly, this 'bare minimum' budget is far too timid to make the difference that Wales needs. \"The modest increase in schools funding is welcome but does not begin to provide the kind of resources Welsh children need and deserve.\"",

            "input": "By Chris PageBBC News NI Some Assembly members leave Stormont mid-term for a variety of reasons, and their party selects the successor. A total of 22 current MLAs had their first taste of Stormont through a co-option - one fifth of the 108-member assembly. These include some high-profile MLAs, like the DUP's junior minister Jonathan Bell and Sinn Féin's Health Committee chair Maeve McLaughlin. 'Quite cynical' Fearghal McKinney of the SDLP, the UUP's Danny Kinahan and Chris Lyttle from the Alliance Party also first arrived at Stormont by being co-opted. Several co-optees have gone on to win a seat at an election - such as the DUP's Paul Givan and Sinn Féin's Raymond McCartney. But there have been 13 co-options since the present assembly term began in 2011. Nine of them have been Sinn Féin MLAs. This has mainly happened because the party has reshuffled its representatives to end \"double-jobbing\", where members held more than one elected post. However, Sinn Féin's latest co-option moves have been described by one academic as \"opportunistic, but quite cynical\". Alex Maskey, who has represented South Belfast since 2003, is moving back to represent his former constituency of West Belfast. He is replacing his Sinn Féin colleague Sue Ramsey, who recently stood down as an MLA due to health reasons. 'Chessboard pieces' Mr Maskey's seat in South Belfast is being taken by the former Lord Mayor of Belfast Máirtín Ó Muilleoir. Mr Ó Muilleoir will also run for Sinn Féin in the Westminster election next May. Rick Wilford, professor of politics at Queen's University, Belfast, said: \"It's a cynical move by Sinn Féin to move the pieces on the chessboard. \"But it looks even more cynical because Máirtín Ó Muilleoir can't hold on to the assembly seat and the Westminster seat, should he be successful.\" But Sinn Féin denies it is exploiting the co-option system. 'Very unfair' Mr Maskey said: \"A co-option only allows a party to replace one representative with another, so there's no gain per se. Other parties have used the same methodology. \"Another side of the argument is that some people are elected as a member of a party. Then they leave the party, and they stay on as an independent, even though they weren't elected as an independent. I think that's very unfair.\" Mr Maskey added that he was \"very conscious\" that he has not been elected to West Belfast during the current assembly session. But he added: \"I did serve West Belfast as an elected representative for around 20 years. \"I feel the public in South Belfast will welcome Máirtín Ó Muilleoir. He topped the poll in his ward there in the local elections last year.\" On Monday at Stormont, Mr Maskey will officially become an MLA for West Belfast again and Mr Ó Muilleoir will sign the members' register. 'Values' There is one recent co-optee who is not in a party. Independent Unionist Claire Sugden replaced David McClarty after he died in January of this year. She had worked for him, and Mr McClarty indicated in a letter that he wanted her to take his seat. Ms Sugden said it made sense. \"Should we put in place someone who is completely new to the whole process, or someone who can hit the ground running?\" she asked. \"There are very few things I and David McClarty disagreed about. \"I know the beliefs which got him elected, and I'm representing the values he believed in.\" 'Costs' Prof Wilford said that although he believes the co-option system has problems, it is difficult to see an alternative. \"We have to have a proportional system. One of the costs of that, with multi-member constituencies, is that it creates the opportunity for the rules to be fully exploited. \"Give politicians a tool, and invariably they will use it,\" he added. Co-option may be controversial sometimes, but there is no suggestion that anyone will opt to change the system. Chris Page's report on co-option will be broadcast on Sunday Politics Northern Ireland at 11:00 GMT on Sunday 2 November.",

While the show's viewing figures aren't anything like what they used to be, Channel 5 as always is promising surprises as the series unfolds. Let's take a look at the new housemates: Gabby Allen If you're still suffering withdrawal symptoms from Love Island, its 2017 star Gabby Allen will be a sight for sore eyes. Since leaving the villa, she and former boyfriend and Blazin' Squad star Marcel Somerville have broken up. From finding love in one home televised across the nation, to moving on in another, Gabby's life is eventful to say the least. Dan Osborne Most CBB series include a current or former star of ITV's reality show Towie, so it's no surprise to see former Towie star and resident bad boy Dan Osborne in the house. But here's the goss: Dan split from his wife, Eastenders actress Jacqueline Jossa earlier this year, after being romantically linked to the former Love Island star Gabby Allen (who we've just mentioned of course). Maybe the Channel 5 producers are trying to conjure up some of that Love Island magic in the Big Brother house? Roxanne Pallett Just weeks after surviving a car crash, the former Emmerdale actress will probably be enjoying some R&R in the Big Brother house - or at least what passes for R&R in that crazy environment. In July she was taking part in a stock car race in North Yorkshire, when she was airlifted to hospital after being cut from the race car. This week she revealed she got engaged to her boyfriend just seven days after meeting him. And now she's been flung into the CBB house, a big test for many a new-fledged relationship in the past. Kirstie Alley Former Cheers actress Kirstie was the first celebrity to enter the famous house this series and therefore was given the first task, to act as an (unelected) president of her housemates. Despite her a successful acting career, nowadays there's a lot more public interest in her life as a Scientologist. Kirstie was raised as a Methodist (a denomination of Protestant Christianity) but converted to the Church of Scientology in the late 1970s and has since become one of the religion's most famous members, alongside Tom Cruise and John Travolta. Sally Morgan Known as Psychic Sally, we wonder whether she can already predict which celebrity will be crowned the winner of Celebrity Big Brother. Sally does more than 150 live stage shows a year and has also starred in several TV shows, focusing on her supernatural gifts. And five years ago, she received a £125,000 payout from the Daily Mail over reports she had received instructions from a hidden earpiece during a show in Dublin. The paper apologised and said it accepted the article was untrue. Rodrigo Alves Rodrigo earned the nickname of The Human Ken Doll after undergoing more than 100 surgeries and procedures, including pec implants and botox, to totally transform himself. He is a regular on red carpets and has more than 700,000 followers on Instagram, where he is seen frequenting beaches, partying on yachts and flaunting his collection of corsets. In 2017, when there were reports that Rodrigo was going to enter the house, he told Metro: \"'If I were to go on a show of that format, it will show the public the real side of me, because all they know is what they read on the news.\" Chloe Ayling Model Chloe made headlines last year after she was lured into a fake photoshoot in Italy and held captive for six days. In June, Lucasz Herba was convicted of kidnapping, extortion and carrying false documents. He was jailed for almost 17 years. Speaking to BBC Radio 5 live in July, Chloe said: \"Because I wasn't crying and in tears, that's what led to people to think that I was not being truthful.\" Ryan Thomas The former Coronation Street star has followed his brothers into reality TV and is swapping the Rovers Return Inn for the Diary Room. Ryan, who played builder Jason Grimshaw, is already the favourite to win this year's series with the bookies. He's not the first member of his family to venture into reality TV - his brother Scott is a former Love Island contestant and, in 2016, Scott's twin Adam appeared on I'm A Celebrity. And Ryan quickly won the first viewers' vote of the series - being elected vice-president of the Big Brother House on opening night - which is usually a clear sign that he is the most-recognisable and most popular at the outset. But CBB history demonstrates how quickly that can change. Jermaine Pennant The former Arsenal and Liverpool footballer has made some of his former teammates nervous by entering the house. \"I think they are concerned, yeah,\" he told the Daily Star. \"They are worried about what hidden gems I might come out with, skeletons that might come out of the closet.\" The 35-year-old was just 15 when he was sold by lowly Notts County to Arsenal for £2m and he has had an eventful career since then - with 24 England under-21 caps, and an appearance in the Champions League final. But he has also hit the headlines for spending time in jail for drink-driving and driving while disqualified - and for being the first Premier League star to play while wearing an electronic tag. Hardeep Singh Kohli Hardeep is no stranger to reality TV - having appeared on Celebrity MasterChef and a celebrity version of The Apprentice. The 49-year-old Scottish comedian and broadcaster-turned chef also lived on the streets while filming Famous, Rich and Homeless for the BBC. In 2009, while working for the BBC's One Show, he \"apologised unreservedly\" following a complaint of inappropriate behaviour from a female colleague. He was dropped from the show for six months but never returned. The father-of-two said at the time he recognised he had \"overstepped the mark\" but had been \"badly treated\" by the BBC over the incident. Natalie Nunn Natalie will only really be known to those viewers who gorge on American reality TV shows - but they have provided some of CBB's most memorable contestants in recent years. She first appeared on the small screen when she took part in season four of US hit Bad Girls Club in 2009. The show is focused on fights and arguments between a small group of unique but highly aggressive women, so it took some effort for Natalie to be booted off the show after a physical altercation with her co-stars. Maybe the British sensibility will kick in and mellow Natalie out during her stay in the UK? But arriving for the opening night show wearing a crown and declaring herself \"the Queen of England\" suggests not. Nick Leeson Among the usual recycled reality stars and soap actors, this is probably the most unlikely housemate on this year's show - and one whose infamy may have to be carefully explained to any viewers under 30. Nick was a Watford-born banker who briefly became one of the most talked-about people in the world. In 1995, while working for Barings Bank, he made a series of increasingly risky financial trades - unauthorised actions that caused £800m in losses and led to the collapse of Barings, the world's second oldest merchant bank. It was such a sensational incident that it was later made into a film - called Rogue Trader - with Nick portrayed by Ewan McGregor. After spending time in a Singapore prison for his rogue trading, Nick became a motivational speaker - but it will be interesting to see if housemates put him in charge of their shopping budget. Ben Jardine This is the second reality show in the space of a year for Ben. In December, he married police officer Stephanie for Channel 4's Married At First Sight. They met for the first time at the altar but the couple broke up after the show's final episode aired on TV. He was later accused of cheating on Stephanie and admitted to kissing another woman behind her back. Oh, and did we mention, he's going to be a dad too, fathering a child with a mystery woman. He told The Sun: \"I have been blessed. Out of all the chaos of this past year something beautiful has happened, which I will forever protect and be grateful for.\" Follow us on Facebook, on Twitter @BBCNewsEnts, or on Instagram at bbcnewsents.

JLR is the UK's biggest carmaker with three factories across the country that produce nearly 400,000 vehicles a year. But those factories are running out of parts, the firm's boss Ralf Speth said. \"We are safe for this week and we are safe for next week and in the third week we have ... parts missing,\" Mr Speth said at an event in Coventry. \"We have flown parts in suitcases from China to the UK,\" he said.

The opposition council said 20,000 civilians were trapped there last week. It said air and artillery strikes by the government and its allies during their five-year siege of the Eastern Ghouta had deliberately targeted civilians in the town and destroyed its infrastructure, denying them access to food and medical treatment. Despite the onslaught, a Syrian military source told Reuters news agency that more than 18,000 people were expected to stay in Harasta under government rule. On Wednesday, state media reported that a total of 1,500 rebels and 6,000 civilians were expected to be evacuated under the deal with the government. What has happened so far? The implementation of the deal began on Thursday morning with a prisoner swap. State TV reported that 18 people were freed, 13 of them held by the rebels. It interviewed a soldier among them, who thanked God and the army for his release. Later, the Syrian Arab Red Crescent confirmed that its personnel had entered Harasta and it posted photos of them helping civilians on to buses. There were conflicting reports about the evacuation's progress throughout the day. State media said rebels and civilians were leaving Harasta on buses every hour, but a BBC Arabic correspondent outside Harasta said the convoy only departed at around 19:00 (17:00 GMT). State TV broadcast pictures of the buses driving slowly down a road in darkness and announced that they were headed to Idlib. Will other towns be evacuated? Ahrar al-Sham fighters in Harasta agreed to lay down their weapons in return for safe passage to Idlib, home to more than 2.6 million people. Spokesman Monther Fares told the Associated Press that they had faced \"civilian pressure\" as a result of the intense air strikes, which had forced people to live underground for three months. The BBC's Martin Patience in Beirut says the deal may put pressure on the rebel groups that control other parts of the Eastern Ghouta to follow suit. Similar deals have been on the table with Jaysh al-Islam - which controls the northern pocket around Douma - and Faylaq al-Rahman - which controls the southern pocket around Arbin and Zamalka - but have yet to get anywhere. Both factions have vowed to keep fighting, even as they have been driven further and further back. Government air strikes on the southern pocket killed at least 19 people on Thursday, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. The UK-based monitoring group also said more than 4,000 civilians had fled Douma on foot and crossed into government territory through the al-Wafideen checkpoint over the past 24 hours. The civilians were leaving under an agreement between Jaysh al-Islam and Russia, it added. Rockets and mortars are also still being fired by rebels into government-held districts of Damascus. A police source told Sana that four civilians were killed and 14 others injured by shells that hit the capital on Thursday. Meanwhile, an air strike in Idlib itself reportedly killed 22 civilians. The Syrian Observatory said a market was hit in the town of Harem, which is controlled by the al-Qaeda-linked jihadist alliance, Hayat Tahrir al-Sham.",

            "input": "By Judith BurnsEducation reporter Pupils who go to school hungry from cramped, noisy homes where they can't sleep properly, struggle to learn says the National Education Union (NEU). \"I try to teach my phonics group as I am giving others cereal to eat,\" one teacher told NEU researchers. Ministers say employment is at a record high, wages outstrip inflation and fewer people are in \"absolute\" poverty. But the NEU says anecdotal evidence from its members suggests more families are falling into poverty. \"Government does not want to hear these stories from the frontline of teaching, but they must,\" said NEU Joint General Secretary, Dr Mary Bousted. \"A decade of austerity has only served to place more children in poverty while at the same time destroying the support structures for poor families,\" she added. In-work poverty More than 8,600 NEU members from across the UK responded to an online survey between March 20 and April 3. Of these, an overwhelming 91% said poverty was a factor in limiting children's capacity to learn, with almost half (49%) deeming it a major factor. Among state school teachers, the figures rose to 97% and 52%. Overall, half the teachers who responded said pupil poverty was worse than in 2016. \"The poverty gap has clearly got bigger,\" one teacher told the researchers. \"A number of my pupils live in overcrowded housing where they are sharing rooms with small children or babies, and have disrupted sleep. \"One child has been referred to the school wellbeing team due to anxiety about their family's financial situation,\" said another. Another reported that poverty was not necessarily confined to families where no one works but also affects homes with \"parents working hard in jobs but still not able to get the basics\". One commented: \"The ones who are in crisis are not only the children whose parents do not work, but the ones who do.\" 'Bullied for being poor' About three-quarters blamed poverty for children falling asleep in lessons, being unable to concentrate and behaving badly. About half said their students had experienced hunger or ill health as a result of poverty, and more than a third said pupils were sometimes bullied for being poor. \"Most of my class arrive at school hungry and thirsty,\" said one teacher. Some teachers told the researchers that mufti days and dress-up days can be a source of shame for the poorest pupils, with some reluctant to come in because of negative comments or stares. A teacher commented: \"The rich children show off and those struggling with finances are really noticed by the other children.\" Older pupils are sometimes unable to afford course text books or calculators, and providing electronic copies doesn't help pupils from homes without access to computers or the internet, the survey found. Some teachers reported using their own money to buy snacks or new underwear for pupils, and sometimes schools help out by washing clothes or providing free breakfasts. But budgets are increasingly stretched and one teacher reported that their school had recently had to axe its breakfast club. England's children's minister, Nadhim Zahawi, said tackling disadvantage was a government priority, acknowledging \"some families need extra help\". \"While all infant children can benefit from our universal free school meals programme, we are making sure that more than a million of the most disadvantaged children are also accessing free school meals throughout their education, saving families around £400 per year. \"We are also investing £9m to give more access to holiday clubs, where they can benefit from activities and a nutritious meal during the school break.\"",

            "input": "Nuns belonging to the Daughters of Charity of St Vincent de Paul ran the Catholic Children's home near Lanark, as well as Bellevue House, Rutherglen. Lady Smith, who is chairing the inquiry, has published a report on evidence heard during the case study. She said the homes were places of fear, threat, and excessive discipline. The judge said emotional, physical and sexual abuse took place. The children found \"no love, no compassion, no dignity and no comfort,\" she said. What is the Scottish Child Abuse Inquiry? The inquiry was set up in October 2015 to look at the historical abuse of children in care across Scotland. It is currently in the process of looking at allegations of physical and sexual abuse at 86 institutions, including former children's homes and leading boarding schools. The inquiry, which has cost £15.67m so far, was originally scheduled to end next year but the Scottish government has since said it can take as long as it needs. From the end of November last year, the child abuse inquiry heard case study evidence over 20 days about the Daughters of Charity of St Vincent de Paul. A total of 54 witnesses told of their experiences at Smyllum Park, which closed in 1981, and Bellevue House, which closed in 1961, and 21 written statements were submitted. What did the inquiry report say? Lady Smith's interim report into the Smyllum and BelleVue case studies concluded: The report names Charlie Forsyth, a former Smyllum resident who went on to work in the home, as someone who physically and emotionally abused children. Forsyth, who is now dead, was said to have given out violent, angry beatings and called the children demeaning. It was said that he had complete autonomy. Lady Smith's report also highlights the case of Samuel Carr, a child in Smyllum, who died aged six as a result of contracting a severe and vicious E. coli infection after contact with a rat. He was malnourished despite having been in Smyllum for a significant time. He had received a severe beating from a Sister not long before his death, the report says. Francis McColl, was 13 when he died in Smyllum after an accident in which he was hit by a golf club when it was being swung. Patricia Meenan died aged 12 when she was hit by a car when she was running away from Smyllum to go back to Glasgow. Lady Smith's said she would take her findings into account when she analysed all the evidence gathered by the inquiry and decides what recommendations to make within the final report. The victims have waited years by BBC Scotland's David Cowan Children were abused - three words from Lady Smith which will mean everything to former residents from the two homes. For years they've alleged they were victims of physical abuse, sexual abuse and emotional abuse - and now the chair of the Scottish Child Abuse Inquiry has said she believes them. Lady Smith described Smyllum Park and Bellevue House as places of fear, where many children found no love, no compassion, no dignity and no comfort. For some, she said, being hit was a normal aspect of daily life. The order which ran the homes, the Daughters of Charity of St Vincent De Paul have repeated their apology to anyone who suffered abuse in their care. Smyllum and Bellevue complaints in numbers 20,000 - Number of children housed by the Daughters of Charity in Scotland between 1864 and 1999 11,601 - Number of children housed in Smyllum from its opening in 1864 to its closure in 1981 4,748 - Number of children accommodated in Smyllum from 1930 until its closure in 1981 6,585 - Number of children accommodated in Bellevue from its opening in 1912 to its closure in 1961 121 - Number of complaints of alleged historical abuse at Smyllum made to the Order between 1998 and 2002 That's 37 complaints against individual sisters, 23 complaints against lay staff, four complaints against priests and two complaints against scout leaders) 26 - Number of complaints of alleged abuse at Bellevue made to the Order between 1998 and 2002 (That includes 18 complaints against individual sisters and five complaints against lay staff) 99 - Number of civil actions raised against the Order in relation to Smyllum 18 - Number of civil actions raised against the Order in relation to Bellevue A statement from the Daughters of Charity said: \"Lady Smith's findings describe events and practices which are totally out of keeping with the fundamental values which underpin our life and mission and we are committed to giving this report our utmost attention. \"We most sincerely offer our heartfelt apology to anyone who suffered any form of abuse whilst in our care.\"",

            "input": "By Reality Check teamBBC News We've fact-checked some of the president's recent claims. Claim 1 \"The United States has done far more 'testing' than any other nation, by far!\" Mr Trump said this on 25 March, when the latest official data showed that a total of 418,810 people had been tested in the US. Figures from South Korea for that date show a total of 357,896 tests. Before that, South Korea had conducted more tests than anyone else. So the US has carried out more tests in total, but what's important is that South Korea has a population of about 51 million, compared with the US which has about 328 million. Therefore, by 25 March the US had tested around one in 780 people, compared with South Korea which had tested more than one out of every 150 people. That's far fewer per capita in the US than in South Korea, and both countries detected their first case of Covid-19 on the same day in late January. In early March, the White House conceded that the United States did not have enough testing kits and some health centres have also reported difficulties using them. However, testing in the US has significantly ramped up recently, with the total number almost doubling in late March. Claim 2 When asked about WHO data on the virus's death rate: \"I think the 3.4% is really a false number... Personally, I think the number is way under 1%.\" In a telephone interview on Fox News, President Trump said a WHO figure of 3.4% for the coronavirus death rate was \"false\". The WHO reported this figure on 3 March and said it was based on all the confirmed coronavirus cases that had resulted in death. Mr Trump said he thought the true death rate, based on \"my hunch\", was \"way under 1%\". He said the death rate appeared higher because many people who caught a mild form of the virus did not report it to the doctor and therefore did not end up as confirmed cases. At the moment we don't know how likely you are to die from coronavirus, mainly because of the lack of data on infections. However, scientists' current best guess is about 1%. Claim 3 On 9 March: \"Last year 37,000 Americans died from the common flu. Nothing is shut down, life and the economy go on... Think about that.\" This statement from the president requires context. We don't know exactly how many American deaths there have been linked to flu. But estimates from the US Centers for Disease Control (CDC) give a range between 26,339 and 52,664 flu deaths last winter (between October 2019 and February 2020), with a best estimate of 34,157. So a lot of people die from flu each year, as Mr Trump points out. However, unlike most strains of flu, the spread of the new coronavirus has not yet been contained by vaccines or immunity from previous outbreaks, and scientists (including those from the WHO) believe it has a significantly higher death rate than that of seasonal flu (which, on average, is about 0.1%). Claim 4 On 7 March: \"Very soon, we're going to come up [with a vaccine].\" Currently there is no vaccine for this new coronavirus, although scientists in many countries are working hard to develop one. Scientists say realistically, one won't be ready until at least the middle of next year. Testing of vaccines on animals has already started. There's also been a test on human volunteers of a vaccine against coronavirus, but it will take many months before we know if this works. Claim 5 On 29 February: \"We've taken the most aggressive actions to confront the coronavirus. They are the most aggressive taken by any country.\" The US has now imposed sweeping restrictions and some quarantine measures. But other countries have also taken aggressive measures to counter the virus - in some instances, more than the US. China and Italy, for example, introduced widespread quarantining, affecting millions of people. The EU has closed its external borders for at least 30 days, with some European states closing their borders to any non-nationals, as well as introducing severe restrictions on movement.

            "input": "By Nick ServiniPolitical editor, Wales Sue Moffatt, director of the National Procurement Service (NPS), has handed over responsibility to her deputy while a review is carried out. The organisation was set up to save money for public organisations by bulk-buying items like fuel and food. Public accounts committee chair Nick Ramsay AM said \"all is not well\". The NPS budget is only around a tenth of what was envisaged in its business plan. In the last financial year, it spent £234m on behalf of different organisations such as local councils and the NHS, but its 2015 business plan estimated it should have been responsible for £2.2bn worth of spending by then. It reported savings for different public bodies in that time of £14.8m, substantially lower than earlier estimates. A Welsh Government loan of £5.9m to the NPS has not been paid back and ministers are using reserves to meet further shortfalls. There were two critical reports about the performance of the NPS by the public spending watchdog the Wales Audit Office in late 2017. One of the reports found that just 19% of those who took part in a survey agreed that using the service resulted in a cash saving. No-one felt strongly that it had led to a saving. The Welsh Local Government Association said many authorities had expressed frustration and dissatisfaction. In September, Finance Secretary Mark Drakeford announced details of a review to refocus the NPS to take advantage of any changes in rules on government spending after Brexit. In a newsletter in November, the NPS confirmed its director Sue Moffatt would \"step back from the day-to-day management of NPS for the period of the review\", saying she would remain a commercial director of the Welsh Government with a range of responsibilities including an advisory role on procurement after Brexit. Her day-to-day management role has been taken on by the NPS deputy director Jonathan Hopkins. Conservative AM Nick Ramsay, who chairs the assembly's public accounts committee, said: \"We have had concerns about the National Procurement Service. \"The fact that we have now discovered the director has stepped aside from the operational role reinforces our concern that all is not well with this arms-length part of government, which is responsible for spending a huge amount of public money. \"There has been a lack of clarity to date and I am sure our inquiry will shed some light on the lack of transparency.\" A spokesman for the Welsh Government said it did \"not normally comment on how civil service staff are deployed to meet Welsh Government priorities\" but confirmed that Ms Moffatt was both the Welsh Government's commercial director and director of the NPS. He added: \"To make best use of her strategic procurement expertise while the review was being undertaken, Sue stepped back last October from the day-to-day NPS management elements of her role to drive forward Welsh Government's 'Brexit and procurement' programme, alongside a range of other priority commercial work.\"",

Miss Bailey said she had shared her journey as a first-time mum on Facebook and Instagram, and had especially wanted to keep family members who live further afield involved due to coronavirus restrictions. She said feeding Harper was \"such a big part\" of their bond and \"I wasn't going to skip over that\". \"I love the photos - you can see her looking up at me and me looking at her, the innocence in her face and the comfort she gets,\" said Ms Bailey.

She added she takes time when her baby girl is sleeping to do her hair or make-up. \"Some people would take that time to do a workout, read a book, have a bath - it's just my self-care.\" Miss Bailey said she will not shy away from posting on social media and \"will stay true\" to herself.

The door to the secure room was hidden behind a wardrobe in a basement garage, and it could only be accessed using an electronic keypad. The 45-year-old admitted the offences, including having no firearms certificate for four air rifles. At the High Court in Glasgow judge Lady Stacey said: \"We have very strict gun laws and there is a reason for this. \"Even weapons of this sort can be used by people to threaten others and these weapons can be modified. \"I accept you kept them safely and you had no ammunition, but Parliament takes this sort of offence very seriously and these offences can attract a sentence up to 10 years in prison.\" Urquhart had earlier admitted having four air rifles without a firearms certificate and four front venting starting pistols without the permission of the Secretary of State or the Scottish ministers or a firearms certificate. The court heard that the front vented pistols were discovered when police searched Urquhart's home in High Street, Loanhead, on May 17. They discovered a locked door leading to a basement garage. Urquhart opened the door using an electronic keypad and then provided access to a further \"panic\" style room located behind a wardrobe. The starting pistols were found there along with flare launching adaptors and cleaning brushes. 'Shameful and embarrassing' Defence counsel Tony Lenehan, said: \"Mr Urquhart applied for a shotgun licence and an air weapons licence. The shotgun licence was not granted because he did not have a sporting need and he did not realise he had not been granted the air guns licence. \"Mr Urquhart, who is a joiner and property developer, has a fascination with 18th century firearms. He has for instance miniature Derringer pistol that a lady would have carried in her purse. \"With regard to the front venting pistols he ordered them openly using his own name, his own bank card and had them delivered to his own door. \"He wanted them for their aesthetics. This whole incident has been traumatic, shameful and embarrassing for him.\" The conviction followed an investigation by the National Crime Agency (NCA) and Police Scotland organised crime partnership. After the hearing, the NCA said Urquhart's panic room contained tinned food, bottled water, a safe and a CCTV system which allowed sight of outside - as well as the weapons. NCA operations manager John McGowan said: \"Urquhart had ordered these weapons online and imported them from Spain and, while they could only fire blanks in the state they were in, they are illegal in the UK because they can easily be converted to fire real ammunition.\"",

            "input": "Germany and France said a framework had now been sketched, during a summit in Brussels that has seen testy exchanges. The main division is between hard-hit nations like Italy and Spain, and EU members who want to lessen funding. So-called \"frugal\" nations want grants limited - and €390bn (£352bn; $445bn) appears the latest compromise figure. They had argued the proposed €750bn overall package was too large and should be mostly loans. The discussions - which were originally scheduled to end on Saturday - were to get under way again on Monday afternoon for what is now the longest EU summit since Nice 2000, when talks lasted five days. The confirmed number of coronavirus cases has reached 14.5 million globally, according to Johns Hopkins University. What's hampering compromise? Member states are largely split between those hit hardest by the outbreak - and keen to revive their economies - and those more concerned about the costs of the recovery plan. Tempers have often been frayed. In the early hours of Monday, French President Emmanuel Macron reportedly banged his hand on the table and threatened to walk out. However, as he arrived for the afternoon session, he was more upbeat, saying: \"There were very tense moments, moments that will likely still be difficult but on this topic things have moved forward and we must now get into the details of the new proposal.\" The proposal concerns the main area of dispute - the amount to be paid out in grants. At least one earlier proposal on the issue had been put forward during the summit. The self-proclaimed frugal four - Sweden, Denmark, Austria and the Netherlands - along with Finland, had opposed allowing €500bn to be offered in the form of grants to countries hardest-hit by Covid-19. Led by Dutch PM Mark Rutte, they had set €375bn as the limit, plus conditions including the right to block requests. The others, including Spain and Italy, were refusing to go below €400bn. Diplomats say the figure of €390bn could now be the compromise. German Chancellor Angela Merkel said: \"Yesterday night, after long negotiations, we found a way to find a possible agreement. That is a step forward and we are hopeful that we can reach an agreement.\" This is the first face-to-face meeting between leaders since governments began imposing lockdowns in March in a bid to stop the spread of the virus. Italy was one of the earliest European countries to suffer an outbreak and has recorded 35,000 deaths - one of the highest tolls in the world. PM Giuseppe Conte, who earlier complained that Europe was \"under the blackmail of the 'frugals'\", said he was cautiously optimistic a deal would be reached. Even Mr Rutte said he was a \"bit more hopeful\". On Sunday, Hungarian PM Viktor Orban had accused Mr Rutte of a personal vendetta and of trying to link financial help to political issues. Mr Orban, and his ally Poland, have threatened to veto the package if it adopts a policy of withholding funds from nations who do not meet certain democratic principles. How tempers flared This is now the longest European summit since Nice 20 years ago, which went into day five when leaders agreed to expand the membership. This time around, money is at the heart of the negotiations and the issue of trust is the cause of the quarrelling. Tempers have flared, and there has been some name calling, too. Mostly at the Dutch leader, Mark Rutte. Bulgaria's leader Boyko Borissov accused Mr Rutte of \"acting like the policeman of Europe\". Hungary's Viktor Orban said, \"It's Dutch guy who's to blame... I don't know why he dislikes us.\" French officials tell me President Macron \"banged his fists\" on the table , as he told the \"frugal four\" that he thought they were putting the European project in danger. An Italian diplomat said Prime Minister Conte told Mr Rutte: \"You might be a hero in your home country for a few days. But after a few weeks you will be held responsible for blocking an effective European response to Covid-19.\" These negotiations may become known unofficially as the \"stiff-leg summit\" - a term being used by the Dutch here meaning that Mr Rutte has been sticking to his guns. There was a notable show of social-distancing etiquette when the leaders first arrived, faces covered by masks. But photos from Sunday evening show that the masks have slipped, along, it seems, with their approach to diplomacy.",

I say record retailer because that's what it was back in 1982, a retailer of records made of vinyl. What was to make HMV a hugely profitable company lay just around the corner, namely CDs and video. The invention of CDs meant we all wanted to replace our record collections with wonderful new shiny, \"indestructible\" CD' and we were all happy to fork out £16 or £17 for each one; it also became de rigeur to have a library of videos prominently displayed in the corner of your living room. In fact, CDs were to deliver such an incredible profit margin for HMV that the House of Commons set up a Select Committee to investigate these bumper profits and the then-CEO, Brian McLaughlin, got a serious grilling but ultimately nothing was done to the pricing structure. The advertising strapline we created, which sat alongside the iconic image of HMV's mascot, Nipper, listening to the gramophone was \"Top Dog for Music\" and that's exactly what HMV were. Record companies kowtowed to this all-powerful retailer, offering up millions of their own money to contribute to HMV's \"co-operative\" advertising. What choice did they have? This was the only way they had of getting their products in to the hands of the consumer. This \"co-op money\" was to become a drug which would always prevent HMV from spending their own marketing money and undertaking any genuine brand advertising. A shop for the King Of Pop The store expanded around the world - into the USA, France, Germany, Canada and Japan. In 1986, it opened what was then the world's largest record store in London's Oxford Street. I remember the opening ceremony well. It was being jointly performed by Bob Geldof and Michael Hutchence; there were literally tens of thousands of people in attendance and Oxford Street was closed (liaising with the police for all new store openings in the 80s and most of the 90s was essential, such was the pull of HMV and the music stars they could attract for a personal appearance). We all stood expectantly by the red carpet at the front of the store as Bob Geldof's limousine pulled up - but when he discovered he was the first to arrive, he told his driver to circle the block, as he didn't want to be upstaged by Michael Hutchence. Five minutes later Hutchence's limo arrived and when he learned he was now the first to arrive, he told his driver to circle the block as he didn't want to arrive before Geldof. We stood there, not knowing what to do as their cars went round a second and then a third time before we negotiated a peace accord with their management and they pulled up and got out at the same time. This was also to be the shop that, when Michael Jackson was in town, would be closed down for him to browse in private, and I remember glimpsing him wandering through the empty aisles of a ghost-like megastore. It just kept on getting better and better for HMV as computer games arrived, along with DVDs. The stores and profits went from strength to strength. Such was the heady feeling of success that HMV would get together all of their store managers and head office staff for a three day \"conference\" every year, which was two and half days of fun and partying and a half day of presentations by the board. Now, we're not talking Bournemouth or Bognor here. It was usually somewhere exotic like Turkey or Spain. I remember a five star hotel in Marbella when Billy Connolly was the surprise cabaret act and everything was free for everyone, from watersports to the watering hole of the beach bar. This engendered amazing loyalty from the music fanatics who were the store's managers, as well as a feeling they really were beating Richard Branson's Virgin Megastores (remember them?) The rivalry between the two retail giants would make a book in itself, with Branson turning up with suitcases of cash to try and gazump HMV for prime city centre shop locations. But if HMV's executives had looked out from that luxury beach hotel in Marbella, they might just have seen a few dark clouds forming on the horizon. HMV continued to expand throughout the 90s - up to 325 stores, They bought the book chain Dillons, and later Waterstones, a further 195 stores, and in 2002 they floated on the stock market for a £1 billion valuation and a share price of £1.92. Today its value will be determined by the administrators - but that's only if they can find a buyer. 'Just a fad' Not long after HMV's stock market listing, Beechwood, (the agency I founded and ran with my business partner, John Wood) was asked to re-pitch for the business as a new marketing director and managing director had come in to the company. As I had worked on the account for so long and felt it was in my blood, I really wanted to give it my all, so we pulled out all the stops in this five-way pitch. The day of the presentation came and we stood in the boardroom in front of the new MD, Steve Knott and his directors. For some time we had felt the tides of change coming for HMV and here was our perfect opportunity to unambiguously say what we felt. The relevant chart went up and I said, \"the three greatest threats to HMV are, online retailers, downloadable music and supermarkets discounting loss leader product\". Suddenly, I realised the MD had stopped the meeting and was visibly angry. \"I have never heard such rubbish\", he said. He accepted supermarkets were \"a thorn in our side\" but not for the serious music fan. \"As for the other two,\" he continued, \"I don't ever see them being a real threat. Downloadable music is just a fad and people will always want the atmosphere and experience of a music store.\" It's important to remember that the dotcom bubble had just burst and many people were mistaking this stock market meltdown for an internet meltdown. As we sat reflecting in the pub afterwards we felt decidedly winded by his onslaught - but a few weeks later we were to discover, somewhat to our surprise, we had held on to the business. Virtually none of what we recommended ever saw the light of day but sometimes during difficult times clients simply want the comfort blanket of what's familiar. Regrettably for HMV our three predictions came true to an extent we could never have envisaged and by 2006, a new MD Simon Fox was brought in to try and sort out the ailing company. Throughout the late 90s and right up until today, HMV's single biggest mistake has been a lack of investment in their online offering and unfortunately it's a mistake Simon Fox continued to make. He chose to try and diversify into electronics (a business that was already failing on the high street) and entertainment through venues such as the HMV Apollo, which subsequently had to be sold off along with Waterstones to pay down debt. Fox has now left the company and been replaced by Trevor Moore, (who somewhat ironically came from Jessops). I was surprised that the press let Fox off relatively lightly but, in truth, the damage was done in that late 90s period, well before he arrived, when we could clearly see what was developing with the internet (we started one of the first digital agencies in London which we later sold to a US group), yet HMV's efforts were at best a token gesture. This lack of online investment and risk aversion may well stem from a disastrous and expensive foray in to conventional mail order in the early 90s when HMV Direct was set up and later folded. Who was better placed to exploit the internet than HMV? The power of the brand, their heritage in music, their unrivalled access to content from film, game and music companies. Who would now have been better placed to take advantage of social media? Hubris, arrogance, a feeling of invincibility. Companies fail for many reasons and there was probably a little bit of all three involved with HMV but ultimately they were simply overtaken by the march of technology faster than they could ever have imagined. By the time they had started trying to reinvent themselves it was too late. They were no longer \"Top Dog\". Philip Beeching was in advertising for over 30 years, working at some of the UK's biggest ad agencies, including Ogilvy, Allen Brady & Marsh and Yellowhammer. He started his own agency in 1989, which later became Beechwood. Philip is now retired and blogs on the world of advertising and marketing from his home in Brazil.",

Welsh Conservative Andrew RT Davies said the 53 discharges could have brought coronavirus into vulnerable settings. First Minister Mark Drakeford said further analysis is needed \"before we draw any conclusions\". Figures released to Mr Davies by Health Minister Vaughan Gething showed that 167 patients were discharged to a care home after a positive test between 1 March and 31 May. Just under a third of those were discharged within two weeks of the positive test. Mr Gething said the Welsh Government's policy had changed by 29 April, \"requiring everyone being discharged to care homes to test negative prior to discharge\". He added that the tests resulting in the positive diagnosis \"could have been authorised at any point prior to the discharge, for example, in hospital; in a previous hospital spell\", \"or prior to admission\". Anyone who tests positive is advised to self-isolate for 10 days, and those who come into contact with them should self-isolate for 14 days. Mr Davies called for any future inquiry into the handling of the pandemic to examine the reasons for the discharges, \"which potentially introduced the virus into one of the most vulnerable settings in Welsh society on a widespread scale\". The Welsh Conservative health spokesman said: \"These numbers sadly show that the Welsh Government was unaware of the devastating impact such a decision might have. \"Significant concerns remain regarding the Welsh Government's approach to care homes and we again repeat our call for those most vulnerable in our society to be protected with scaled up, targeted interventions such as regular screening of patient-facing staff.\" Plaid Cymru local government spokeswoman Delyth Jewell said: \"The voices of our most vulnerable people were too often lost during the early stages of the pandemic. The fact we are still hearing this issue being raised suggests their voices remain unheard.\" By July deaths in care homes accounted for 28% of all Covid-related deaths. The Senedd's health committee said care homes had been \"badly let down\" with the Welsh Government taking \"too long\" to start \"appropriate testing measures\". Research by Public Health Wales later concluded that discharging patients from hospitals into care homes did not increase the risk of coronavirus outbreaks among residents. What has the first minister said? Mark Drakeford said more analysis will be conducted on the figures that were published. \"I think it would be sensible for anybody to wait,\" he said. He told the Senedd it was not clear where the tests were carried out. \"It is possible they were carried out in the care home to which the person who lives in that care home was being returned. \"It is possible that it happened, not in the hospital episode before someone was discharged back into the care home, but in a previous hospital episode.\" It came in response to a question from Welsh Conservative Senedd leader Paul Davies, who said the figures were \"unacceptable\". Mr Drakeford added that Mr Davies has \"been very keen on data in previous weeks in this chamber and I think he would be wise to wait until we have that extra data before we draw any conclusions.\"",

But how does Wales sit alongside the other nations in what it does and the challenges it faces? HOW MUCH DO WE SPEND ON HEALTHCARE IN WALES? Wales spends 48% of its budget on health and social care - set to be £7.1bn over the next year (2016/17). The issue of how much Wales spends on health compared to England - and how the NHS is performing in the two nations - has been a political hot potato. The OECD says following the 2008 financial crisis and budget squeezes, Wales decided to balance spending cuts more evenly between health and social care - whereas in England, social services have borne the brunt. It pulls out these three figures to illustrate this: But Mark Pearson, head of the health division at the OECD, said: \"Let's get something very clear - it's not to do with money. It's not that you spend more money and get better quality of care. \"Poor quality care costs you - if you mess up your operation it will cost you a lot more to put right. It's not to do with the amount of resources in the system but to get the people on the ground to actually do the things the fantastic policies want them to do. \"That's not really happening across the four nations of the UK but for different reasons in each country.\" HOW DOES NHS WALES PERFORM, COMPARED WITH OTHER UK NATIONS? It's not straightforward comparing like with like; that's the first point. There are a \"surprisingly limited\" number of indicators to compare patients in the different UK nations. Based on the available information, \"no one health system appears to consistently outperform the others,\" says the OECD. It goes on to look at some specifics: The OECD suggests concerns over comparing Wales with England could be overcome if Wales was compared with a region like the north east of England instead. This chimes in with the Nuffield Trust's research for BBC Wales last year, which looked to compare Wales with that region. CHALLENGES FACING THE NHS IN WALES AGEING: The UK's population is getting older - and the over 65s will make up a quarter of it by 2050. The issue is even more pronounced in Wales. More than a third of the population of Wales is expected to be over the age of 60 by 2055 and by 2069, those aged over 75 will be the biggest proportion of all age groups. Our mid-2014 estimated median age is 42.1 years, compared to 38 years in Northern Ireland. CHRONIC CONDITIONS: With people living longer, this means more people with chronic and complicated conditions to treat. The burden is increasing in the UK - including diabetes and kidney disease - but is even higher in Wales. ECONOMIC DISADVANTAGES AND HEALTH NEEDS: The OECD recognises that Wales is the most economically deprived of the UK nations and that this lower income per head has \"likely impacts\" on health and wellbeing, and demand for NHS services. Drinking, smoking and obesity are well publicised issues and relative health needs are higher in Wales than in all nations apart from Northern Ireland. The OECD looked at National Audit Office estimates of health need in the different nations and health boards and primary care trusts within them.",

            "input": "The Food Standards Agency is an independent food safety watchdog set up in 2000 to protect the public's health and consumer interests in relation to food. It was originally proposed in 1997, amid concerns about food poisoning, intensive farming methods and Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) or \"mad cow disease\". Food policy experts wanted a new food agency responsible to the Secretary of State for Health, independent of the food industry, but at \"arms-length\" from ministers. But food writer Joanna Blythman is highly critical of the FSA: \"It was meant to be a watchdog defending consumer interests but it seems to have had an unduly cosy relationship with the food companies, bio-tech companies and large retailers ever since it was created.\" She said it always appeared to treat campaign groups - such as those opposed to genetically modified (GM) foods - as a \"lunatic fringe\". In 2010 the FSA had 2,000 employees and an annual budget of £135m but this was reduced as a result of the coalition government's spending cuts. A shake-up by the new government led to the FSA handing over some of its responsibilities to government departments so it could focus solely on food safety policy and enforcement. The Department of Health and the Welsh government took over nutrition policy in England and Wales but in Scotland and Northern Ireland the FSA remained in control. The Department of Health and Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) took over food labelling in England but the FSA remains in charge of labelling in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. The FSA's headquarters are in London but it has offices in York; Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. It is accountable to Parliament through health ministers, and to the devolved administrations in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland for its activities within their areas. Improving eating habits It has been credited with raising awareness of good eating habits and persuading food manufacturers to reduce their use of salt. FSA campaigns have included pushing for stricter rules on TV advertising to children of junk foods and a mass recall of foods containing the dye Sudan I. But it has been sorely tested by the horsemeat scandal, which broke last month. Ms Blythman says: \"That culture of backing up the food industry has continued and the FSA sees its role as reassuring consumers that food is safe and downplaying the risk.\" She said when the horsemeat scandal broke most of the supermarkets retreated to a \"bunker\" and she said: \"The FSA was fielding the flak that should have been directed at the supermarkets.\" Ms Blythman said the FSA compared very unfavourably to the Food Standards Authority Ireland (FSAI), which she said was \"more pro-active\" and unearthed the horsemeat contamination in the first place. Earlier this week, after raids at meat businesses in West Yorkshire and Wales, the FSA's director of operations Andrew Rhodes said: \"I ordered an audit of all horse producing abattoirs in the UK after this issue first arose last month and I was shocked to uncover what appears to be a blatant misleading of consumers. \"The Food Standards Agency is a science and evidence-led organisation and we don't do things lightly. We have very good evidence to support the actions that we have taken.\" Mr Rhodes said the FSA had a presence in every abattoir in the UK and tested 90,000 products a year, for bacteria such as listeria and salmonella. But food writer Joanna Blythman said the FSA did not have its own laboratory and could not cope with the scandal. In its corporate strategy the FSA has set itself six \"outcomes\" to deliver by 2015. These include ensuring \"foods produced or sold in the UK are safe to eat\" and \"that consumers have the information and understanding they need to make informed choices about where and what they eat\".",

            "input": "They said nearly 99% of the voters in January's referendum were in favour of dividing Africa's biggest country. Earlier, Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir again said he would accept the outcome of the vote. The poll was agreed as part of a 2005 peace agreement ending more than two decades of civil war between the south and north Sudan. Although the vote was peaceful, tension remains high in parts of the oil-rich border region. At least 50 people were killed over the weekend in fighting between soldiers in south Sudan's Upper Nile state. Kiir's pledge On Monday, the Southern Sudan Referendum Commission announced in Khartoum that 98.83% of the voters had backed independence. \"Those who voted for unity were 44,888, that is, 1.17%. Those who voted for separation were 3,792,518, that is, 98.83%,\" commission head Mohamed Ibrahim Khalil said. The BBC's Peter Martell in the southern capital Juba, says some people have spent most of the day getting ready to celebrate the announcement. \"Now I am a first class citizen in my own country,\" housewife Abiong Nyok told the BBC. One woman - a northerner - cried after the announcement, saying she had relatives in the south, the BBC's James Copnall in Khartoum says. Earlier on Monday, President Bashir reiterated that he would accept the outcome of the vote, allaying fears that the split could re-ignite conflict over the control of the south's oil reserves. \"We accept and welcome these results because they represent the will of the southern people,\" Mr Bashir said on state TV. James Copnall says the president has made similar comments before, but this firm and public commitment will reassure any southerners still wondering whether Khartoum would go back on its word. The president said he was committed to good relations with the future Southern state. The US has said it will remove Sudan from a list of countries it accuses of sponsoring terrorism if the referendum goes well. South Sudan's leader Salva Kiir pledged co-operation with Khartoum in the future, saying there were \"many things that connect the north and the south\". \"The (freedom) of the south is not the end of the road, because we cannot be enemies. We must build strong relations,\" said Mr Kiir, who is also Sudan's Vice-President. In Washington, President Barack Obama congratulated the people of Southern Sudan for \"a successful and inspiring\" referendum, saying the US intended to formally recognise Southern Sudan in July. British Prime Minister David Cameron welcomed the announcement of the poll's result, saying both \"North and South now need to work together to implement the remaining provisions\" of the 2005 peace deal. A European Union representative in Sudan said the bloc \"looks forward to further developing a close and long- term partnership with Southern Sudan\". UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon urged the international community \"to assist all Sudanese towards greater stability and development\" and offered the UN's help to both sides, the AFP news agency reports. Challenges ahead In the last half century southerners have fought two devastating civil wars with Khartoum, in which more than two million people are estimated to have died. The south sees itself as different in cultural, religious and ethnic terms from the north, and believes it has suffered years of discrimination. The BBC's James Copnall says the announcement of the final results will not be the end of the process. Issues including the disputed border region of Abyei, citizenship, legal matters and resources like oil will need to be negotiated. Though it is rich in oil, Southern Sudan is one of the least-developed regions on earth, and ethnic tensions and troubled relations with the north will provide constant security challenges. Our reporter says that many southerners feel what they consider a forced union with the rest of Sudan has been a catastrophe. He says that although when Southern Sudan becomes independent in July it will face huge problems, the dominant emotion for southerners once the results are announced will surely be one of huge joy. The formal declaration of independence will be made on 9 July 2011 - six years after the peace deal, which led to the referendum, took effect.",

Jet fuel is priced in dollars, so the falling pound has made it more expensive for Easyjet to run its aircraft. Easyjet expects a profit of between $490m and £495m for its financial year, which ends on 30 September. That would be down 28% on the £686m annual profit it made in 2015. It would also be the first fall in annual profits since 2009. Shares closed down by nearly 7% to 933.5p. \"The current environment is tough for all airlines, but history shows that at times like this, the strongest airlines become stronger,\" said Carolyn McCall, Easyjet chief executive. The problem for Easyjet is that although it has been flying passengers in record numbers, those passengers have been enjoying lower ticket prices. Easyjet expects revenue per seat to be down 8.7% for the year and expects ticket prices to fall further in the coming months. 'Aggressive' discounts \"Average fares are coming down, which is good for customers. To a certain extent, there is a price war going on,\" said Robin Byde, airline analyst at Cantor. \"Passenger growth is very strong, cabins are very full. To do that, they've had to discount quite aggressively,\" he said. Terror attacks in Europe, Turkey and Tunisia have also affected sales. \"We have been disproportionately affected by extraordinary events,\" said Ms McCall. Easyjet says \"extraordinary\" events have cost it £125m up to the end of its third quarter (which ended on 30 June). The airline says that it is particularly vulnerable to strikes in France, as almost two-thirds of its flights touch French airspace. Business is likely to be tough for Easyjet over the coming months. Recent terror attacks might discourage some people from travelling and Easyjet says the pound's weakness will make foreign travel less affordable for UK tourists. \"Easytet is facing challenging times on a number of fronts, and it's one of the worst performing stocks in the FTSE 100 since the EU referendum,\" said George Salmon, an analyst at Hargreaves Lansdown. \"The competition is hotting up too.

            "input": "By John CampbellBBC News NI economics & business editor The scheme allows employers to temporarily lay off staff while the government pays 80% of their wages during the crisis. In the jargon this is known as furloughing and its aim is to prevent mass unemployment. Three surveys in the past week point to a massive take up. Manufacturing NI and the NI Chamber of Commerce both found 80% of firms will furlough some or all staff. In a smaller survey by the Construction Employers Federation, 100% of respondents said they would be furloughing. The most recent official figures suggest there are about 572,000 private sector jobs in Northern Ireland. Even allowing for a much more conservative estimate of 50% take up that would still mean the government stepping in to pay the wages of more than a quarter-of-a million people in the local economy. So there is a lot riding on this scheme. The man in charge of it, HMRC chief executive Jim Harra, gave a confident performance in front of the Commons Treasury Committee this week. He told MPs an online application portal should be open on 20 April with money flowing to companies by 30 April. His main concern was that telephone advice lines could come under big pressure if companies feel they need guidance on the application process. To lessen that risk, HMRC will publish more guidance on the application process next week. Getting certainty on this scheme will be a relief for many business owners and employees. Tales of despair But there are many businesses, particularly small businesses, which are still slipping through the cracks. My emails and direct messages are full of tales of hardship and despair. On Friday night there was some better news as the Economy Minister Diane Dodds gave details of how an additional £40m of businesses support will be spent. About 2,500 small manufacturers who missed out on £10,000 grants will now qualify. A previously announced scheme providing £25,000 grants to the hospitality, tourism and retail sectors now has an opening date for applications - 20 April. Belfast Chamber of Commerce and other organisations have also been lobbying for small businesses who operate from serviced offices or co-working spaces to be included in the grants scheme, though so far there is nothing for them. And for plenty of other businesses there has been disappointment and despair. 'Might never reopen' I was contacted by one firm this week which has seen its market evaporate and is just above the threshold for a £10,000 grant. The staff have been furloughed but beyond this there is not much more the firm can do other than deferring bills and applying for a government-backed interest free loan. They fear that having spent 20 years building a business they might never reopen. The economy minister has acknowledged the gaps in support for companies like this. There will now be a new \"falling through the gaps\" fund for businesses not currently able to access existing regional or national grant schemes. The budget for this fund and its other details are still to be confirmed. For many people it can't come soon enough.",

More than 30 people have been killed since flooding began last month. In Queensland, which has witnessed the worst of the flooding, nine people are still missing. Floods tore through the towns of Toowomba and Grantham. But record rains have shifted the flood emergency focus from the north-eastern state to Victoria in the south-east, which is experiencing its worst floods since records began 130 years ago. The Victoria State Emergency Service (SES) has issued evacuation warnings for communities east of the city of Kerang, which remains cut off. In all, more than 75 towns have been affected, and the SES said up to 10 towns remained in the floodwaters' northern path across flat, wheat-growing country. In the city of Swan Hill, people have been building makeshift levees to hold back the Murray River, which is expected to carry the bulk of the floodwaters as they run off over the next 10 days. Sandbags and misery \"There is no doubt the recent floods will rank as one of the most costly natural disasters in our history,\" said Mr Swan, who is also Australia's treasurer. The impact of the floods was worse than a series of natural disasters in the 1970s and wildfires in 2009 in which 173 people died, he said in his first economic note of the year. Further north, in Queensland, residents of the state capital, Brisbane, have again been putting out sandbags as high tides threaten to inflict more misery on low-lying suburbs. The city is still clearing up after floodwaters two weeks ago reached a peak of 4.46m (14.6ft). The search for the bodies of flood victims is continuing. The Australian navy has been trying to clear the Brisbane River of tonnes of debris including cars, parts of buildings and boats, says the BBC's Nick Bryant in Sydney. The floods are expected to pose a threat for another week, our correspondent says. Economists estimate that the flooding in Queensland and Victoria will cost at least A$3bn (£1.8bn) in lost coal exports and agricultural production.

            "input": "Nick BryantNew York correspondent The shelves of American bookstores almost buckle under the weight of titles identifying a single year, season, month, week, day or hour as essential turning points in history's long march. So one would imagine that publishers are already being inundated with pitches for books bringing together the events of the past few weeks, perhaps under the working titles of \"Ten Days in June\", \"America's Liberal Spring\", \"The Summer of Love\" or \"June 2015: The month that changed America.\" The narrative almost writes itself. It opens with the cover of the June edition of Vanity Fair, which featured an alluring photograph of Caitlyn Jenner dressed in a silk bodysuit. Jenner, of course, is a one-time Olympic champion, formerly called Bruce, whom most Americans are more used to seeing in an athletics singlet and shorts. It would encompass two momentous Supreme Court decisions - the first in defence of Obamacare, the second in support of gay marriage. Both were not just victories for President Barack Obama but also triumphs, more broadly, of progressivism. It would also take in the massacre in Charleston, and the dramatic impact it has had on the long-running Confederate flag debate. Not only did the governor of South Carolina Nikki Haley call for the flag's removal from the capitol grounds in Columbia. The governor of the Deep South state of Alabama, the Republican Robert Bentley, actually ordered all Civil War era colours to be hauled down in Montgomery, a city with a long history as a bastion of resistance. In the space of a few historic weeks then, America witnessed the most thrilling moment yet for its transgender community, the biggest-ever victory for the LGBT movement, a major, probably decisive, win for healthcare, and, arguably, the final surrender of the American Civil War. With it came an instant iconography: that Jenner portrait by the photographer Annie Leibovitz, the debate-transforming images of alleged killer Dylan Roof brandishing the Confederate battle flag, the pictures of the White House floodlit in the colours of the rainbow flag. The month also came with its own soundtrack - the relatives of the Charleston killings personally telling Roof during his court appearance that they were prepared to forgive him, the cries of rapture from gay activists outside of the Supreme Court, the utterances of President Obama, who began last week using the \"N-word\" and ended it singing Amazing Grace, the climax of a presidential speech unlike any other in American history. American progressives not only celebrated Obamacare and same-sex marriage but the re-emergence of a figure seldom seen over the past seven years, the Barack Obama who electrified American politics during the 2008 campaign. In Charleston on Friday, when he delivered an expansive eulogy to Clementa Pinckney, he scaled old rhetorical heights. Many regard it as the finest piece of oratory of his presidency. With the Republican-controlled Congress granting the president fast-track trade authority, the Trans-Pacific Partnership is now within his grasp. That will give meaning to his much-vaunted \"Asian pivot\". This was certainly the best week of Obama's second term, and probably of his entire presidency. However, it would be an exaggeration to describe this as the belated realisation of his \"Yes We Can\" America. Same-sex marriage can hardly be chalked up as an Obama triumph, however hard the White House tried to place itself at the centre of the celebrations. After all, the president only voiced support for same-sex marriage in 2012, and four years earlier he was publicly opposed. On this issue, the president followed rather than led. To argue that June saw a clean sweep triumph of progressivism also ignores the nettlesome fact that America's gun controls are exactly the same at the end of the month as they were at the beginning, and will remain so for the foreseeable future. Ruminating on gun violence in the immediate aftermath of the Charleston massacre, Obama had the weary air of a president resigned to defeat. And with good reason. Here the forces of conservatism are unassailable. The paradox is that Obama's best week was not necessarily the Republican party's worst. Rather, there are many in the party who quietly welcome these defeats in the culture wars because they should persuade the party to move away from battlefields where they keep losing, social tolerance and healthcare, and to focus instead on areas of traditional strength, the economy and national security. There are historical precedents for speedy comebacks. The humiliating rout suffered by the Republicans in the 1964 presidential election, when Lyndon Johnson trounced Barry Goldwater, implied that liberalism was ascendant. But that landslide election paved the way for the Republican revival, which lasted, almost uninterrupted, from 1968 to 1992. During that entire period, the Republicans relied on the \"southern strategy\", an appeal to socially and racially conservative whites alarmed by the rapid pace of change, many of whom clung to symbols of southern heritage like the Civil War colours. The coming down of the Confederate flag surely marks the final symbolic end of that era. For sure, there are \"No Surrender\" Republicans, like Ted Cruz, Mike Huckabee and Rick Santorum, seeking to mobilise the Republican base with continued attacks on Obamacare and the Supreme Court. Yet June could go down not as only as the month that changed America but the month that changed the Republican party. But that is a rational view in a party not always known for its rationality. The events of the past month also lay potential traps for the Democrats. It would be dangerous, for instance, to interpret them as America lurching dramatically to the left. The electorate has punished the Democrats in the past for liberal over-reach, as it did at the congressional elections in 1994 and 2010, after two years of Bill Clinton and two years of Barack Obama, and would presumably do so again. True, the Democrats have been dominant in presidential politics in recent cycles, as I argued here, but victory in 2016 is by no means assured. Transformative though these past four weeks have been, it is also the case that justices on the US Supreme Court and conservative politicians in the states of the old Confederacy finally caught up with cultural and demographic shifts that have been reshaping this country for much of the past decade. Even before last week, for instance, it was possible to argue that the opponents of same sex marriage had largely lost, though not yet possible to declare its champions as outright winners. So while June was a dramatic month, it was noteworthy most of all for codifying changes that have been overtaking America for years. That doesn't make for such a snappy book title, but history generally defies neat packaging.",

Any of those contacts deemed at risk of infection will be told to isolate for 14 days, even if they are not sick. Those who have already had the virus will also be asked to self-isolate. The aim of the system is to lift blanket lockdown restrictions and move towards more localised, targeted measures. Health Secretary Matt Hancock said he was confident that the \"vast majority of people\" would participate in the voluntary system. \"In this war on the virus, ultimately we are all on the same side and we've all got a part that we can play,\" he said. The launch came as it was announced that some restrictions are to be eased in Scotland and Northern Ireland. The 25,000 tracers working for England's NHS Test and Trace team started by contacting the 2,013 people who tested positive for the virus on Wednesday. However, shortly after launching, some tracers said they were struggling to access the system. In a statement, the Department of Health insisted it had not crashed, adding: \"Some staff did initially encounter issues logging on to their systems and these are rapidly being resolved.\" Trish Mannes, who leads a team of tracing specialists for Public Health England in the South East, told the BBC there had been a \"technical glitch\" but that overall the \"system seems to be working well\". She compared the contact tracing process to \"detective work\", using both \"technical knowledge\" and \"people skills\". \"The things that are important to me are empathy and ability to speak to people and get a rapport - remember we're asking people for a lot of detailed information, it takes time to get that information,\" she said. Two MPs said they were told England's system would not be fully operational \"at local level\" until the end of June. Labour's Ben Bradshaw and Lib Dem Daisy Cooper both tweeted after a call with Baroness Dido Harding, the chairwoman of NHS Test and Trace. Downing Street said the test and trace system would \"improve\" over time but rejected suggestions the scheme had been launched early. But Chris Hopson, chief executive of NHS Providers, said hospital trust leaders were questioning the risk being run by easing the lockdown without having local systems in place. He also said it was \"never going to be the case\" that the UK would have a \"world-class\" test and trace system in place by June - in reference to a previous pledge made by Prime Minister Boris Johnson. Mr Hopson said while work was progressing \"at pace\", the UK was \"weeks behind where we really ought to be\". An app to automatically alert people they have been in contact with someone who has tested positive is still being trialled on the Isle of Wight but the government hopes to have that system up-and-running in England \"in the coming weeks\". The launch of Scotland's new Test and Protect system comes as First Minister Nicola Sturgeon announced people from two different households will be able to meet outdoors from Friday. Northern Ireland has its own version of the test and trace programme already. Wales' scheme is due to start in early June. Meanwhile, a further 377 people have died with coronavirus across all settings in the UK, daily figures released on Thursday showed. The total number of deaths in and outside of hospitals is now 37,837, the Department of Health said. What will I have to do now? Anyone who develops symptoms of coronavirus - a persistent cough, fever or a sudden loss of taste or sense of smell - has to isolate for seven days and the rest of their household for 14 days. This is in keeping with rules already in place. But from now on, everyone with symptoms should ask for a test online or phone to arrange a test by calling 119. If the test comes back negative, everyone in the household can go back to normal. But if the test comes back positive, the contact tracing team or local public health teams will get in touch - via text, email or phone call - to discuss whom the person has come into close contact with and places they have visited. Any of those contacts deemed at risk of catching the virus will be emailed or texted with instructions to go into isolation for 14 days, whether they are sick or not. They will be tested only if they develop symptoms. The rest of their household does not have to isolate, unless someone becomes ill. Mr Hancock said people would have to self-isolate on more than one occasion if told to do so by the NHS. Those who have already had the virus must also self-isolate, as it is not known whether they can still transmit it. What is a close contact? Only people who have been \"close\" to an infected person will be contacted by tracers. Close contacts are: The contact must have taken place between two days before and up to seven days after symptoms appeared. Do I have to do as I'm told? Health Secretary Matt Hancock said in the daily coronavirus briefing on Wednesday that it is the public's \"civic duty\" to follow the instructions of the NHS Test and Trace team. \"This will be voluntary at first because we trust everyone to do the right thing. But we can quickly make it mandatory if that's what it takes,\" he added. Scientists, including those advising the government, have warned that it will be harder to get public support for such measures in the wake of the row over the prime minister's chief adviser, Dominic Cummings. Mr Cummings was accused of breaking lockdown rules after driving 260 miles from London to County Durham because, he said, he was concerned about childcare for his son when his wife became ill. What about work? Those instructed to self-isolate will be eligible for statutory sick pay - £95.85 per week - but there are fears that many workers will not be able to live on that amount and will be forced to keep working. Shadow health secretary Jonathan Ashworth urged the government to introduce \"enhanced\" sick pay, saying: \"There will be people whose work conditions and employment conditions make [self-isolating] difficult for them so they need that security.\" TUC general secretary Frances O'Grady called on the government to extend sick pay to everyone and raise it to the \"real living wage\" - £260 per week. She said the entire test and trace system would be \"undermined\" if workers were \"pushed into hardship\" when they were required to self-isolate. Will it work? The success of the scheme will depend on how quickly contacts can be found and whether members of the public follow instructions, a report published by the Royal Society said. It concluded that between 5% and 15% of infections could be prevented. But the 15% figure depends on finding contacts within three days and 80% of people reporting their symptoms or going into isolation when asked. By comparison, isolating cases and quarantining members of their household is thought to cut infections by 50%. Prof Anne Johnson, one of the report's authors, said the system \"is an important part in bringing the pandemic under control, but we're very clear it is not a magic bullet\". The national coordinator of NHS Test and Trace said the system requires rapid testing in order to be successful. However, after the prime minister said on Wednesday there was now a target to get test results in less than 24 hours, Prof John Newton added it would be \"very difficult\" to get home testing kit results in less than 48 hours. What will the system achieve? At the moment coronavirus is being suppressed by lockdown restrictions applied across the whole of society. Baroness Harding said the scheme was designed to allow national lockdown restrictions to be \"traded\" with individual isolation - allowing \"the vast majority to get on with their lives in a much more normal way\".

The film was shot in secret, largely during the pandemic, and sees Borat playing more pranks on US citizens. Justin Chang of the LA Times described the sequel as \"fitfully funny and sometimes weirdly poignant\". But he added: \"With a few exceptions, Borat's satirical jabs don't land with quite the same cringe-making force this time; the setups are too convoluted, the anonymous targets too genial, the payoffs too meagre.\" 'The shock has gone' The film opens with Borat in prison, nearing the end of his sentence for having brought shame on his country with his first film. However, once released, he returns to America - this time with the intention of offering his daughter Tutar (played by Maria Bakalova) as a gift to Vice President Mike Pence. Along the way, Borat meets and plays pranks on several US politicians and members of the public, many of whom are supporters of President Trump. Variety's Peter Debruge said the sequel was a welcome return to form for Baron Cohen, who has starred in Bruno, The Dictator and Grimsby since 2006. \"Frankly, nothing the comedic actor has done since Borat has had quite the same impact, so it's a relief that the Subsequent Moviefilm is no dashed-off affair, but a parody on par with the original,\" he said. \"Borat has lost none of his bite, treading that same fine line between sophomoric humour and pointed political satire.\" The film was awarded four stars by Empire's John Nugent, who noted that the sequel's central premise doesn't stray far from the original. \"Many of the first film's tricks are simply repeated or repurposed,\" he said. \"As before, Cohen delights in exposing the casual bigotry of average Americans. \"It's remarkable how much the film packs in, and how it manages to spin plates between ridiculous crudeness, pulse-quickening shock tactics, and pointed political commentary. Cohen's total fearlessness as a performer is still really something to behold.\" However, The Telegraph's Robbie Collin was less impressed, awarding the film just two stars. \"For the most part, it's despairingly threadbare stuff,\" he wrote. \"A string of half-formed, recycled and disjointed pranks you suspect wouldn't have survived the quality-control process on the original, effortfully connected post hoc by largely uninspired scripted scenes. \"The central pillar of Borat's act - interviews with unsuspecting strangers - is hugely impeded by the lockdown conditions under which much of Subsequent Moviefilm was shot, which surely goes at least some way towards explaining the agonising lack of strong material.\" In his three-star review, The Guardian's Peter Bradshaw said: \"The shock of the new is gone, and so the shock generally... but there are still some real laughs and pointed political moments. \"Borat is now encountering America in the age of Donald Trump, of course, and some of the film's best moments come when it is exposing complacency and credulity on the subject of Covid-19.\" Bradshaw and several other critics pointed out how much more challenging it was for Baron Cohen to film the sequel now Borat is so recognisable. Subsequent Moviefilm instead finds creative ways to play pranks on unsuspecting members of the public, without Baron Cohen being detected. \"To get around the fact that everyone now recognises Borat, the idea is that he will mostly be in disguise and a lot of the pranks are effectively carried out by Tutar,\" Bradshaw explains. Devika Girish of The New York Times added: \"The problems with the sequel start right at the beginning. Borat is too recognisable in the US now, so to pull off the same pranks, he has to disguise himself heavily. \"There's nothing in this moviefilm that matches the elegant social experiment of the first, which sought to explore where precisely American civility departs from morality.\" Some critics noted there are still moments of basic visual gags and toilet humour. \"The sequel is somehow both lighter and darker in tone than its predecessor - which suits the current mood, perhaps,\" suggested The Independent's Clarisse Loughrey. \"Moments of pure slapstick come as a relief. There's a simple but utterly hysterical sequence of him trying to cut a man's hair with a giant pair of rusted sheep shears.\" Borat Subsequent Moviefilm is going straight to streaming, and will be released by Amazon on Friday. In his LA Times review, Chang said: \"It may be that this movie, like its uproarious predecessor, cries out to be seen in a crowded theatre - rather than, say, a depopulated living room - for maximum impact.\" Much of the attention surrounding the film has focused on the high-profile targets Borat and Tutar attempt to ambush. At one point, President Trump's lawyer Rudy Giuliani is interviewed by Tutar in a hotel room about the administration's response to the coronavirus outbreak. She then invites Mr Giuliani, 76, to join her for a drink. After his microphone is taken off, he lies down on the bed and appears to be putting his hands inside his trousers. However, Mr Giuliani has since explained: \"The Borat video is a complete fabrication. I was tucking in my shirt after taking off the recording equipment. \"At no time before, during, or after the interview was I ever inappropriate. If Sacha Baron Cohen implies otherwise he is a stone-cold liar.\" The Hollywood Reporter's John DeFoe said the encounter with Mr Giuliani does appear to have been presented in a misleading way. \"The shaping of the sequence and its music, in service to the film's overall plot, suggest the disgraced former mayor is trying to seduce a young woman who interviews him. But it looks like some microphone-fitting footage is being repurposed here,\" he said. Speaking about the film more widely, DeFoe said it \"falls short of its imperfect but zeitgeist-grabbing 2006 predecessor in several ways\". \"The easiest (but incomplete) answer is that the George W Bush era needed a Borat, and the Trump years make him painfully redundant.\" Subsequent Moviefilm is not the only film starring Baron Cohen to be released this month. The actor has been widely praised for his performance in Aaron Sorkin's The Trial of the Chicago 7, which was released on Netflix last week. Follow us on Facebook, or on Twitter @BBCNewsEnts.

Forces from various European countries, including Scotland Yard detectives, worked together on the operation. The group is accused of taking down companies' websites and demanding ransoms to stop. Its name, which stands for Distributed Denial of Service for the online currency Bitcoin, is an apparent reference to its alleged tactics. In September last year, a report from the net firm Akamai alleged that the group had carried out more than 140 attacks in the previous 10 months on banks, media groups and gaming firms. Europol said that \"key members of the organised network\" were tracked to Bosnia-Herzegovina by officers from the Metropolitan Police, who were working with the European Union's law enforcement agency. Raids On 15 and 16 December, officers from Austria, Bosnia-Herzegovina and Germany, as well as those from the United Kingdom, worked together to carry out raids. They were assisted on \"Operation Pleiades\" by their colleagues from Australia, France and Japan, as well as Romania, USA and Switzerland. The international agency Interpol also helped, Europol said. In a statement released on Tuesday, it added that the operation \"resulted in the arrest of a main target and one more suspect detained. Multiple property searches were carried out and an extensive amount of evidence was seized.\" Europol did not say under which power the second person was detained and a spokesman was not immediately available for comment. Attack A Distributed Denial of Service attack takes down a website by overwhelming it with traffic. Once a critical point is reached, users will find the site difficult to access. The group is accused of co-ordinating such attacks and demanding money to cease them, thereby allowing normal traffic to flow to the targeted website once more. The attacks \"remain a considerable threat in the European Union and beyond\", Europol said. \"This type of extortion attack has become a well-established criminal enterprise and has affected thousands of victims globally, with the number of unreported incidents believed to be much higher. The absence of reporting by private companies and individuals poses particular difficulties in law enforcement's efforts to prosecute these cyber-threats.\" It said that the DD4BC group was \"exploiting the increasing popularity of pseudonymous payment mechanisms and has been responsible for several Bitcoin extortion campaigns since mid-2014\". 'Ransom' According to police, DD4BC \"primarily targeted the online gambling industry, but has recently broadened their activity to the financial services and entertainment sector as well as other high-profile companies. Businesses that pay the ransom to the blackmailers risk appearing vulnerable and being targeted again for a higher amount.\" Wil van Gemert, Europol's deputy director of operations, said: \"These groups employ aggressive measures to silence the victims with the threat of public exposure and reputation damage.\"",

Around the edge of the watch, another ball bearing rotates to tell the hours. The Bradley was designed for the use of blind people, the latest in a long line of efforts to help those without sight efficiently tell the time. Designer Hyungsoo Kim was in a lecture hall at Massachusetts Institute of Technology in September 2011 when a neighbouring student asked him the time. \"My classmate is visually impaired, and had been for 10 years,\" explains Kim. The student had a watch that could tell the time, but only by pressing a button that would make it speak out loud. Doing so in a classroom could be disruptive, so instead, says Kim, \"I was his wristwatch.\" There are a number of timepieces for the blind, including the Meteor vibrating watch that uses a series of rumbles to denote hours and minutes. Tactile, or Braille watches, are popular in the blind and partially sighted community. They look similar to a normal watch, but the front glass can be flipped up, allowing the wearer to touch the hands and tell the time. \"If you're blind you don't know if you've got up in the middle of the night,\" explains Leslie Duroe of RNIB, the UK's main charity for the blind and partially sighted. \"It can make people feel very insecure to not know what time it is.\" For Kim, previous designs were more functional than beautiful. Sighted people choose their watches as much as a fashion statement as for merely telling the time. Many might assume that blind people care only about function. But that's wrong. There were also practical criticisms over existing watches for some users - in the case of tactile or Braille watches, foreign objects such as food could clog or affect the progress of the hands. Kim wanted a watch that looked good and would work for his friend. \"I put together a team of engineers and we came up with the idea of a Braille display, one that would display the time written out in Braille,\" says Kim. But when a prototype was created, the feedback wasn't great. \"We learned that less than 10% of visually impaired people can read Braille,\" Kim says. What's more, many people in the UK and US are not born blind but develop sight problems later in their lives - 82% of those living with blindness are aged 50 or older, according to the World Health Organization. With less experience of reading Braille, their sense of touch is often less developed. Kim and his team went back to the drawing board - the timepiece went through 25 different versions, each one tested by visually impaired people. There was always a battle between functionality and producing a beautiful object. Eventually, a design was agreed upon - a magnet underneath the metal watch face would control two rotating ball bearings for hours and minutes. But even the ball bearings were a matter of debate. \"People wanted the ball bearings to be bigger so they could feel it better,\" Kim says. \"But as designers, were concerned that making them bigger would make the watch clunky. We had to find the midpoint.\" In September 2011, the same month Hyungsoo Kim started work on his project, life changed for bomb disposal officer Lieutenant Bradley Snyder. He stood on an explosive device in Afghanistan, suffering serious injuries and losing his sight. By August 2012, he had won two swimming gold medals at the London Paralympic games. But the practicalities of daily life were initially an immense struggle. \"I was hurt in Afghanistan and the next thing I know I'm waking up in hospital in the United States. There was a 60 hour-long gap in my memory.\" Immediately Snyder, his sight lost, found getting his bearings difficult. \"You don't realise how much you use time to orient where you are. At the beginning it was very disorienting. And especially being in the military, time is all important.\" Eventually Snyder was approached by Kim, after a chance meeting with a mutual friend. \"Hyungsoo was making a product for blind people,\" says Snyder. \"I was his blind guy.\" \"I had a speaking watch for a little while,\" he begins. \"You pressed a button and it told you the time.\" Uncannily mimicking a robotic voice, Snyder says \"the time is 3:30pm\" and laughs. \"It was utilitarian. And if I'm on a train, I can't hear it. \"What's more, as soon as I hit that button it highlights me as someone with a special need. I love the idea of using the same thing that everyone does. And I want to feel as normal as possible.\" With the watch now named the Bradley, there was an appeal on Kickstarter, the crowdfunding website, in July last year - 3,681 people from 65 different countries backed the project, donating a total of $594,602 (£357,290). It will be available for sale from May in the US, with the UK and Europe likely to follow later. A further 1,000 people have since pre-ordered the watch online but only a tiny fraction of those - Kim estimates between 1-2% - are visually impaired. \"It bridges the gap between the disabled and the non-disabled,\" says Snyder. The watch is now among the favourites in the 76 nominations for the Designs of the Year contest at London's Design Museum. The nomination has already led to interest from European retailers. There's an obvious gimmick for selling to sighted people - you can check the time in a social or work setting without appearing rude. It's easy to imagine seeing the watch, with its titanium face and minimal style, on a wrist and not immediately guessing its genesis as an item for blind people. \"The stereotype is that visually impaired people are not fashion-conscious,\" says Kim. \"I had that misconception too. But it's wrong.\" Follow @BBCNewsMagazine on Twitter and on Facebook",

Sterling has fallen nearly 20% against the dollar since the referendum. On Monday it was trading at below $1.22 and €1.11, having fallen more than 5% in October on concerns about the economic impact of the UK leaving the European Union. Investors also continued to sell off UK government bonds - sending the yield to 1.2%, the highest level since the Brexit vote - partly because of the weaker pound. Mr Broadbent, one of three deputy governors at the Bank, said: \"Having a flexible currency is an extremely important thing especially in an environment when your economy faces a shock that is different to your trading partners\". Allowing the pound to react \"is a very important shock absorber\". Rising prices Bank governor Mark Carney said on Friday that sterling's weakness would lead to higher prices, a finding that has since been underlined in a report from the EY Item Club think tank. The latest inflation figures will be released on Tuesday, with economists expecting prices to have risen 0.9% in the year to September. Mr Broadbent said it was \"likely\" that inflation would rise above the Bank's 2% target in the next couple of years.

Mr Broadbent, a Marmite fan who said he \"loves\" the stuff, said the rising cost of foreign holidays would also contribute to inflation. Trade off However, he warned that controlling prices with tighter monetary policy could hit growth and jobs. Raising interest rates to meet the Bank's inflation target could lead to \"undesirable consequences\" such as lower growth and higher unemployment, he said. It's a \"trade off\", he added. The deputy governor spoke to the BBC after a forum with university and A-level students in Derby where he explained what the Bank does. At the moment \"we don't really teach\" financial education, he told the BBC.

Sentsov has been on hunger strike for 33 days to push for the release of what he says are 64 political prisoners in Russia - a claim denied by the Kremlin. In 2015, he was jailed for 20 years for plotting terrorist acts in Crimea. During the trial he denied the charges, saying that \"a court of occupiers cannot be just\". Russia annexed Ukraine's southern Crimea peninsula in 2014, triggering condemnation from many countries. The annexation and Russia's support of rebels in eastern Ukraine led to a series of sanctions imposed by Western nations against Moscow. What did Ukraine's ombudswoman say? Ms Denisova said she had flown to Russia's northern town of Salekhard and tried to visit the prison where Sentsov is being held. \"We were told categorically that we wouldn't be allowed to see Oleg Sentsov,\" she told the BBC. \"I asked why and he [the head of regional prisons department] said 'because Sentsov is a Russian citizen so I took this decision.' 'We are very concerned about his health as we have no confirmed information that he is OK, and we can't trust the information provided by the Russian side,\" Ms Denisova added. She said the idea of her visiting Ukrainian prisoners in Russia had been agreed following a phone call between Ukrainian President Poroshenko and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin last week. Meanwhile, Russia's human rights ombudswoman was expected to travel to Ukraine to visit Kyrylo Vyshynsky, a Ukrainian-Russian journalist accused of treason. Mr Vyshynsky denies the charges. Ukrainians have been staging protests near Russian embassies around the world, demanding the release of Sentsov and other Ukrainian prisoners in Russia. Many activists have also been calling for the boycott of the football World Cup currently being held in Russia.

Prosecutors say he was involved in two attempted arson attacks in the city of Simferopol, ordered by extremist Ukrainian group Right Sector. The Ukrainian government says he is being punished for being a Crimea-based pro-Ukrainian activist. The director has said he was beaten in jail for 24 hours in an attempt to force a confession.

The hyponatraemia inquiry is examining the deaths of five children - including Claire - in hospitals in Northern Ireland.

Two days after she suffered the seizure, Claire's parents said no doctor had expressed any undue concern to them. They believed she was suffering a relapse of epilepsy, a condition which she had as a child. Mr Roberts said: \"You are dependant on feedback from doctors and staff.

A botnet is a network of machines controlled by criminals thanks to malicious software being installed on to computers without the owner's knowledge. Often, criminal gangs will use botnets to steal large amounts of personal data, which can then be sold on to others or held to ransom.

But in August, separatists supported by the UAE seized control the city of Aden from Saudi-backed government forces. The UN said the deal was an important step towards ending Yemen's civil war. The conflict has devastated the country and claimed the lives of at least 7,000 civilians, according to the UN. Monitors believe the death toll is far higher. The US-based Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project (ACLED) said last week that it had recorded more than 100,000 fatalities, including 12,000 civilians killed in direct attacks. The fighting has also triggered the world's worst humanitarian crisis. Four-fifths of the population - 24 million people - are in need of humanitarian assistance or protection, including 10 million who rely on food aid to survive. Separatists seeking independence for south Yemen, which was a separate country before unification with the north in 1990, formed an uneasy alliance with President Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi four years ago to stop the Houthis capturing Aden. They subsequently drove the rebels out of much of the south with the help of the Saudi-led coalition, and Aden became the temporary seat of Mr Hadi's cabinet. But in August, the separatist Southern Transitional Council (STC) turned on the president, accusing his government of mismanagement and criticising his ties to Islamists. Following several days of deadly clashes, militia fighters aligned to the STC seized control of Aden from troops loyal to the government. When the government tried to retake the city, the UAE intervened with air strikes. Saudi Arabia brokered a truce before hosting talks that led to Tuesday's deal. A copy of the agreement seen by Reuters news agency calls for the formation of a new cabinet within 30 days with equal numbers of northerners and southerners. The STC will also be allowed to join any UN-mediated talks to end the civil war. Fighters from both sides will be placed under the command of the defence and interior ministries, and the Saudi forces will oversee security inside Aden, according to Reuters. The UAE, which has been withdrawing troops from Yemen since July, handed over control of Aden to them last month. \"This agreement will open a new period of stability in Yemen. The kingdom of Saudi Arabia stands with you,\" Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman said.

            "input": "But the services - overseen by councils - are on their knees, it is said, with fewer and fewer people being given the help they need. It means many of the most vulnerable older people are being faced with a choice - pay for the help themselves or go without. Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt has given his backing to a proposal - put forward by the independent Dilnot Commission last year - to cap the amount people will have to pay out of their own pockets, saying he wants it to be introduced \"as soon as we are able\". But is this the answer to the problems? Jane Ashcroft, not-for-profit care provider Anchor Older people have waited long enough. We must reform the farce that is our current system for funding long-term care. Dilnot is right - capping individual liability for care costs makes sense. It will help end the appalling unfairness that sees some older people facing catastrophic care costs. I was encouraged by Jeremy Hunt's pledge to implement the Dilnot cap. The concern is that could be years away. Hunt needs to be bold. Resolving the current mess and finding an affordable solution for the future will not be easy and Dilnot is only the start. But our ageing population and the future generations of older people will remember the person that takes a stand and resolves this issue. While local authority and health budgets remain separate there is little financial incentive to prioritise services that prevent the need for more expensive NHS treatment. I hope that Social Care Minister Norman Lamb is of a similar view, but again my fear is how long it will take to progress any real change. David Rogers, of the Local Government Association, described social care as the most important issue this country is facing and one which is growing in magnitude - so why is so little being done? Perhaps a clue comes from Anchor research showing one in four people is unaware that social care is means-tested. Huge numbers don't know there's a problem until it affects them directly. This has fuelled the short-term thinking of successive governments. Demographic change means we're all more likely to need care in later life yet government has failed to prepare for it or ensure individuals are able to do so. It's time for the coalition to respond to Anchor's Grey Pride campaign by appointing a Minister for Older People to ensure that the impact of our ageing society is properly addressed at cabinet level. Michelle Mitchell, Age UK Age UK was delighted to hear Jeremy Hunt talk of creating a social care system fit for an ageing population. There is much to do to meet this aim. The current care system is unfair and unfit for purpose. It is a postcode lottery in which those hit hardest by ill health, disability or dementia have to pay the most. Older people already dealing with the emotional impact of moving into a care home then face the often heartbreaking and unavoidable prospect of selling the family home to pay for their care. The recommendations of the Dilnot Commission would, if implemented, help lift that worry from the last years of life by setting a limit on how much an individual would have to pay towards their care. A lifetime cap at the level recommended by Dilnot of £35,000 would help people plan - whether that is by putting aside money or buying an insurance product. Age UK wants to see the government announce as soon as possible the funding necessary to make the recommendations a reality - the longer it delays, the higher the initial costs will be. There remains a question, though, over closing the spending gap in the system. Spending cuts combined with a rising number of older people created a £500,000 shortfall last year compared with 2010 spending levels. This means that more older people are losing access to care and support services and being forced to struggle on alone. For example, David, 76, who was recently told that although he uses a wheelchair, with little use of his hands and has to have help in washing, getting to bed and many other basic tasks, he was no longer able to attend his local day centre because he was not disabled enough. To create a social care system fit for an ageing population means ensuring that people like David receive the support they need at a vulnerable time of life. Stephen Burke, United for All Ages The care system is in crisis and the way it is funded urgently needs reform. Yet we are seemingly no nearer reaching a solution over two years after the coalition government resolved to do so. The Dilnot Commission's recommendations published in July 2011 are increasingly seen as answering the wrong question at the wrong time. Rather than address growing unmet care needs, Dilnot tackled this issue: how to stop older people having to sell their home to pay for residential care. As a result, the Dilnot recommendations wouldn't produce a fairer, simpler and more sustainable care system. His recommendations are fundamentally flawed - they would primarily protect the assets of wealthier older people and would not provide much-needed extra funding for the care of our ageing population. Furthermore they would make the complex care system even more complicated and create a new insurance industry with millions more financial transactions. The focus on Dilnot has meant little attention has been given to alternatives. But bringing health and care together could make much better use of scarce resources and give older people better care closer to or in their own home, rather than in residential care or hospital. While extra tax funding will be needed, we must also change how care is delivered. Helping people to help themselves as early as possible, rather than waiting for crisis, and supporting individuals to live with families in local communities would make a big difference. Sarah Pickup, Association of Directors of Adult Social Services If implemented, the Dilnot proposals would change the architecture of care funding and would offer greater certainty for individuals as well as the opportunity for the development of insurance products that might allow people to reduce financial risk still further. There would be no losers from the Dilnot reforms. Therein lies the first problem - there is a cost to implementation and it is this that has prevented the government from going any further than supporting the proposals in principle. The second problem is that the Dilnot reforms would bring no new funding into the care system and the biggest challenge the sector faces is resourcing care and support for rising numbers of older and disabled people, as well as delivering on the vision for care and support set out in the recent White Paper. In my view the social care system is up against the wire, budgets are tight and reducing and inevitably something has to give whether it is time, quality, numbers supported or reducing spend on prevention. Yet the question of the level of funding needed to deliver care and support seems currently to be secondary to the Dilnot question. Both questions need an answer but if we don't find a way to increase the funding for care and support we will not be able to provide the level or quality of care that people need to maintain their dignity and their independence. Richard Humphries, King's Fund think tank Social care is possibly the only vital public service where people can face a potentially limitless financial liability. One in 10 of us will need at least £100,000 worth of care in our retirement. Placing a cap on these costs as Dilnot recommended is a logical extension of the freedom from fear we already enjoy, thanks to the NHS, in relation to healthcare costs. We need to be clear the cap is a way of sharing the costs of care between the individual and the state in a way that is transparent and fairer than the current cliff edge - \"the worst means test in the world\", as Dilnot described it - which leaves people with very modest assets facing the prospect of huge bills. It would not resolve the bigger question of the total quantum of money needed to fund a decent level of care that would be acceptable for ourselves and our families - this was excluded from Dilnot's terms of reference. The level at which the cap is set will be shaped as much by the prevailing fiscal climate as any technical assessment of an optimum level. Currently the lower £35,000 limit proposed by Dilnot looks too low and a figure of £50,000 to £70,000 more realistic. This would be based on local authority care rates, not what people might choose to pay - the state is not about to bankroll five-star nursing home bills and the biggest challenge will be persuading the Treasury to pick up the tab at any level.",

SECOND VIDEO Shows Osama Bin Laden watching footage of himself on television. The television is on a small table with what looks like a satellite box next to it. The al-Qaeda leader is seen sitting in front of the table, apparently cross-legged on a carpeted floor, using a remote control. He has a blanket over his shoulders and is wearing a black woolen hat. He strokes his beard, which looks grey - not black as in the other video clips. Two other monitors, both switched off, can be seen in the room. There is what looks like a black sheet to the left of the TV, possibly covering a window. At the start of the clip a list of channels come up, and it appears that Al-Jazeera is selected. The images playing on the TV seem to be old footage of the al-Qaeda leader, including shots of him walking in the mountains. There is also an image of the twin towers in New York in flames on 11 September 2001, with a still photo of Bin Laden superimposed on top of it and Arabic script. THIRD VIDEO The first of three videos in which Bin Laden appears to be rehearsing for a video message. He is wearing the same clothes as in the first video, but with a bare wooden panel or door as a backdrop. A white sleeveless vest is visible under his white shirt. FOURTH VIDEO Here too, Bin Laden seems to be rehearsing. He starts to talk, then glances to his right uncertainly before continuing to speak to the camera. He is again wearing a white shirt and hat, though not the gold robe. The backdrop is plain and dark brown. FIFTH VIDEO Another short clip of Bin Laden dressed in white shirt, hat and golden robe, speaking to camera. This time the backdrop is what looks like a crumpled blue sheet. As in the previous videos, he occasionally looks down to read from notes.",

They want the 10-month old to undergo a trial in the US, but London specialists believe he has no chance of survival. The European court wants until Tuesday to consider the case. Judges in Strasbourg, France, ruled that Charlie should receive treatment while they look at paperwork in the case. The court said this type of interim measure was exceptional, when the applicants would face a \"real risk of irreversible harm\". A spokeswoman said Charlie's parents wanted a panel of seven judges to look at the case in detail. No decisions about whether or not the case would be analysed at a hearing had yet been made, she said. Charlie has been in intensive care at Great Ormond Street Hospital since October last year. He has mitochondrial depletion syndrome, a rare disorder that affects the genetic building blocks that give energy to cells. Doctors say he cannot hear, move, cry or swallow and that his lungs only go up and down because he is on a machine that does it for him. Specialists believe the US trial is experimental and will not improve his quality of life, and therefore he should be allowed to die with dignity. Charlie's parents have exhausted all legal options in the UK. 'Not a cure' On Tuesday, the High Court ruled that life-sustaining treatment could be withdrawn, and on Thursday, the Supreme Court rejected the parents' appeal against that decision. The Supreme Court said parents were not entitled to insist on treatment which was not in their child's best interests. Charlie is thought to be just one of 16 children in the world to suffer from mitochondrial depletion syndrome. His parents have managed to raise £1.3m on a crowdfunding site to pay for the US treatment and to get him to the country safely, as a specialist plane and nurses are needed. The American doctor who has agreed to treat Charlie has previously told the High Court the six-month therapy would be \"treatment but not a cure\". The neurologist who would oversee the treatment told the court that while Charlie was in the \"terminal stage\" of his illness, treating him would be compassionate. He added that there could be a meaningful improvement to his brain function meaning that he might be able to interact and smile.",

            "input": "By Adrian GoldbergPresenter, 5 live Investigates The UK European Consumer Centre (UK ECC) received nearly 100 complaints in the first five months of this year, significantly higher than the same period in 2009. The reports range from being wrongly charged for mysterious bumps and scratches, petrol and even missing seats. The car hire industry says these complaints represent \"a very small proportion of the 55 to 60 million rental transactions that take place annually\" across the EU. However as the UK ECC is not very well known, it believes that the number of complaints it receives represents only a small minority of cases. Credit card charge John Griffiths from Poole in Dorset hired a car last year whilst on holiday in Ireland. A couple of weeks after he returned home he received a letter from the car hire firm informing him that the sum of 450 euro had been charged to his credit card for damage to the rear bumper of his hire car. The damage had been identified in the pre-rental inspection so John Griffiths immediately contacted the company to dispute the charge. \"I was absolutely astounded and in fact very angry. I think it's incredible that they have the right to take money from my credit card without my authorisation.\" As is common in many of these cases, John had an early flight so when he dropped off the car the rental office was shut and there was no member of staff to inspect the car. His money was eventually refunded following the intervention of the UK ECC but many holiday-makers are not so lucky. Tip of the iceberg Jed Mayatt, manager of the UK European Consumer Centre said: \"We knew that complaints about car hire were rising, but when we analysed our database I was really shocked at the scale of the problem.\" Based on historical trends, the UKECC expects the number of disputes to rise to 400 by the end of the year. Complaints to the UKECC are believed to be the tip of the iceberg with many disputes going unreported. The majority of its cases relate to car hire problems in Spain, Italy, France and Ireland. Customers reported a range of hidden charges, including the cost of refuelling when the car had been returned with a full tank of petrol, extra insurance premiums and some holiday-makers paid for cars online yet on collection discovered their booking does not exist. Jed Mayatt from UKECC commented: \"Of course, not all car hires end in tears, but consumers really do need to wise up and take some basic precautions when they are entering into car rental contracts in the EU. \"Consumers are often at their most vulnerable during tough economic times and, quite naturally, they often have their guard down and are more trusting when they are on holiday\". \"Our general advice to consumers hiring cars abroad is, where possible, to return the car to someone in the office, get them to check the car and sign it off as in good condition. If you have to leave the car, take some photos - showing that it was returned in good condition.\" In a statement Leaseurope - which represents car rental companies across the EU - told 5 live Investigates that the number of complaints represented a \"very small proportion of the 55 to 60 million rental transactions that take place annually\". Leaseurope says its members are \"working with the European Commission and consumer centres across Europe to further enhance the industry's handling of complaints\". \"We are currently piloting a European car rental conciliation service to handle this type of issue.\" You can hear the full report on 5 live Investigates on Sunday, 10 October at 2100 BST on BBC Radio 5 live.

            "input": "By James GallagherHealth editor, BBC News website A team at King's College London and the Natural History Museum found only 5% of adults had gum disease in the Roman, and certainly pre-toothbrush, era. Modern day smoking and type 2 diabetes are blamed for a figure of nearly one in three today. But ancient Britain was certainly not a golden age of gleaming gnashers. The smiles of our ancestors were littered with infections, abscesses and tooth decay, the study showed. Grave investigation The research group analysed 303 skulls from a burial ground in Poundbury, in Dorset. The skeletons, mostly of people who died in their 40s, dated from between AD 200 and AD 400. Gum disease starts with inflammation and a bit of bleeding. But it can become more severe and damage the bone and supporting tissue deep inside the gum. It means there is a trace of severe gum disease left in the skeletal teeth and jaws, long after the fleshy gums have rotted away. Prof Francis Hughes, from the dental institute at King's College London, told the BBC: \"The amount of severe gum disease around today is around one third of the population. \"But much to our surprise these people didn't have a lot of gum disease, but they did have a lot of other dental problems.\" He said the findings, published in the British Dental Journal, were evidence that gum disease was about far more than just brushing twice a day. Smoking is thought to increase the risk of gum disease fivefold. Type 2 diabetes also increases the risk. Handy guide to Latin dental terms Theya Molleson, from the Natural History Museum said: \"This study shows a major deterioration in oral health between Roman times and modern England. \"By underlining the probable role of smoking, especially in determining the susceptibility to progressive periodontitis in modern populations, there is a real sign that the disease can be avoided.\" Chronic pain The skulls of children showed extensive signs of wear and tear due to a diet of abrasive grains and cereals. Prof Hughes said: \"We are in a better state overall now because what was clear from the skulls is they had longstanding infections which must have been a source of chronic pain over many years.\" And half of people had tooth decay, but \"having said that, a lot of people were surprisingly dentally healthy\". Commenting on the results, Prof Ian Needleman, the director of the International Centre for Evidence-Based Oral Health at University College London, told the BBC: \"I liked the study a lot. \"I was initially surprised, we all tend to expect a lot of dental disease in the pre-toothbrush age and that is clearly not the case. \"People should keep brushing their teeth, but the study shows oral health is more complex and smoking, diabetes and possibly diet make a major contribution.\"",

            "input": "By Robbie MeredithBBC News NI Education Correspondent However, Northern Ireland has by far the lowest share of international students of any UK region. In 2015/16, 2,445 international students started undergraduate or postgraduate courses in NI. The analysis of their economic impact was carried out by London Economics and published by HEPI. It looked at the economic benefits and costs associated with the 231,065 international students who started university courses across the UK in 2015/16. The analysis calculated the financial contribution of overseas students, such as spending on tuition fees, accommodation and other living expenses. It balanced that against costs including university teaching, the extra pressure on local services and non-repayment of loans. The study suggests that international students from outside the EU are worth £95,000 each to the UK economy for the duration of their study. Those students typically pay much higher tuition fees than local, EU or UK students - as high as £37,000 per year for some medical courses in Northern Ireland. HEPI also carried out a breakdown of the economic impact of international students by each UK region and parliamentary constituency. Although London has the highest number, Sheffield Central was the UK constituency estimated to benefit most from international student spending. In Northern Ireland, South Belfast was the constituency judged to benefit most as the highest number of international students lived there. The report estimates they brought a net benefit of £29m into the area's economy. However, a number of Northern Ireland constituencies were among the areas of the UK where the economic impact of international students was lowest. There were 10 NI constituencies among the 20 in the UK who, the study said, benefited least from their presence and spending. They were South Down, North Belfast, Fermanagh and South Tyrone, North Antrim, West Tyrone, Lagan Valley, South Antrim, East Belfast, Strangford and North Down. Responding to the report, Olivia Potter-Hughes, president of the NUS-USI (National Union of Students - Union of Students in Ireland) said that students' concerns about Brexit must be acted upon to try to ensure there is no decrease in international students in Northern Ireland. \"We want to ensure that Northern Ireland and the UK is welcoming and attracts as many international and EU students as possible,\" she said. \"International students must not be seen as cash cows and we are worried that international student fees could rise as a result of Brexit as these students may be cynically used to make up for any loss of EU research and other funding.\" Meanwhile, figures published separately by Northern Ireland's two universities show that non-EU international students now account for just over £28m of their income in fees and grants. Queen's University Belfast (QUB) accounts show international students generated £25.3m in fees and grants in 2016/17, up from £22.3m in 2015/16. Ulster University (UU) received just under £2.8m in overseas student fees in 2016/17, around £500,000 less than in 2015/16. According to figures published by the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA) QUB had 2,125 non-EU international students in 2016/17 while UU had 685.",

            "input": "UK experts studied brain scans of 120 men and women, with half of those studied having autism. The differences found in the research, published in journal Brain, show more work is needed to understand how autism affects girls, the scientists say. Experts said girls with the condition could be more stigmatised than boys - and it could be harder for them to be diagnosed at all. Autism affects 1% of the population and is more prevalent in boys, so most research has focused on them. In this study, scientists from the Autism Research Centre at the University of Cambridge used magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to examine how autism affects the brain of males and females. Male and female brains differ anyway - tissue volume is greater in males. 'Look-alikes' The study looked at the difference between the brains of typical males and those with autism - and then females with and without autism. They found the brains of females with autism \"look\" more like - but still not the same as - typical male brains, when compared with the brains of females without autism. But the same kind of difference was not seen in males with autism - so their brains did not show \"extreme\" male characteristics. Dr Meng-Chuan Lai, who worked on the study said: \"What we have known about autism to date is mainly male-biased. \"This research shows that it is possible that the effect of autism manifests differently according to one's gender. \"Therefore we should not blindly assume that everything found for males or from male-predominant mixed samples will apply to females.\" He said future research may need to look at males and females equally to discover both similarities and differences. Dr Lai added: \"Lastly, there really needs to be more research and clinical attention toward females 'on the spectrum'.\" 'Masking' Carol Povey, Director of The National Autistic Society's Centre for Autism, said: \"Historically, research on autism has been largely informed by the experiences of men and boys with the condition. \"This important study will therefore help our understanding of how the condition differs between genders.\" She added: \"Girls can be more adaptive than boys and can develop strategies that often mask what we traditionally think of as the signs of autism. \"This \"masking\" can lead to a great deal of stress, and many girls go on to develop secondary problems such as anxiety, eating disorders or depression. \"It's important that we build on this study and more research is conducted into the way autism manifests in girls and women, so that we can ensure that gender does not remain a barrier to diagnosis and getting the right support.\"",

As David Yates, long-time Potter director, has already said, we naturally considered the possibility of recasting. \"I understand why some have been confused and angry about why that didn't happen.\" Harry Potter director David Yates told Entertainment Weekly: \"I can only tell you about the man I see every day. \"He's full of decency and kindness, and that's all I see.

A total of 144 people died, 116 of them children. Now the disaster is being recreated in Cwmaman as the latest series of TV drama The Crown explores the Queen's response to the tragedy. The hit Netflix series has reached 1966 in its timeline of Royal history. Eight days after the disaster, Queen Elizabeth II visited the village for the first time. Pictures show cast members wearing 60s clothes and film crews working at a recreated Pantglas Junior School, where the disaster happened. Olivia Colman is playing Queen Elizabeth II in season three of the series. Jeff Edwards, who is one of the children who survived the Aberfan disaster, said the producers of The Crown contacted him earlier this year to tell him about their plans. He said he contacted community groups to arrange meetings with them to consider their views. \"Following these meetings the production team decided to put on a public meeting which was held earlier this month and at which a dozen or so residents turned up and they outlined their proposals to them,\" he added.

The scandal also led to the establishment of the Leveson Inquiry into press ethics, an MPs' inquiry and the launch of three police investigations into alleged widespread phone hacking and corruption. Former News of the World editor Andy Coulson - who later became director of communications for then Prime Minister David Cameron - was jailed for 18 months for conspiracy to hack phones.

New rules include a ban on pubs, restaurants and cafes serving alcohol on the premises. They come in to force at 18:00 GMT and will be reviewed on 17 December, ahead of UK-wide rules over Christmas. The Welsh Government faced a backlash for the new rules from business owners and other political parties. Plaid Cymru said hospitality was \"paying the price\" for a lack of stricter measures after the firebreak lockdown ended on 9 November. The Conservative leader in the Senedd, Paul Davies, said the national approach was unfair on areas with low Covid rates. But speaking on Friday, Mr Gething said without action, more people would die. \"This is really about the fact we couldn't suppress coronavirus after the firebreak, and we then have a responsibility as a government,\" Mr Gething told BBC Breakfast. \"We either act, and act in way we know causes harm, or we don't act in this way and we accept much greater harm and much great loss of life that could be avoided.\" The health minister said coronavirus cases went down during the 17-day firebreak lockdown in October and November but cases have now \"gone up and up\". The case rate is currently 237.9 case per 100,000 in Wales, higher than before the firebreak. Meanwhile, the latest infection survey from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) suggests infections have stopped falling in Wales. The ONS takes throat and nose swab tests from more than 19,500 people at random in Wales over six weeks. From the results, it can estimate that 18,100 people in Wales had Covid-19 in the week to 28 November, 1,700 more than the week before. This is one in 170 people or 0.60% of the population. The ONS said \"our modelling suggests, in the most recent week, the percentage of those testing positive is no longer decreasing in Wales\". Mr Gething added: \"I don't enjoy these measures having to be introduced, but if we don't we can be confident - terribly confident, I'm afraid - that cases would rise and more of our people would not be here.\" The Welsh Government has said the decision to stop bars and pubs serving alcohol was backed by evidence it has published from its scientific advisors, and supported by evidence from the UK advisory groups Sage.

We were promised everything would open up for Christmas and now we're in the same situation.\" He called the rules disproportionate and said they were not reflective of the situation in Wales. \"We understand the health issues as everyone does but we feel that the restrictions have not been targeted to the right areas and not based on any real science.

Customers are now receiving emails to explain how much they owe or are owed.

Once one loan had been paid off, he took another - often bigger - one. His largest loans were for about £700. The 32-year-old full-time dad submitted a complaint in November that he had been mis-sold loans. He was contacted by the company to say it would not be able to process that complaint within the eight weeks stipulated by regulators. He was still waiting when the company went into administration. \"My complaint has not been resolved. I want some closure. I am optimistic, but I am not holding my breath,\" he said. WageDay Advance and Juo Loans were the brand names of CURO Transatlantic Limited, which went into administration in February. It had been one of the middle-ranking payday lenders operating in the UK, with most customers applying for loans online or through their smartphones from WageDay. In 2017, it won an industry award when it was named the best short-term loan provider. But many loans had been mis-sold to people who could not afford to pay them back, had loans rolled over, or had multiple loans with other providers. Thousands of these customers complained, many via claims management companies. The company built a claims calculator, which has estimated that current and former customers could be entitled to up to £223m in compensation, including interest. An estimated 330,000 people are expected still to have eligible claims for compensation. Successful claims made last year had an average payout of £850. The firm collapsed as it was unable to cope with the cost of dealing with these complaints and the potential payouts. Payouts at risk Now administrators from KPMG are using that calculator to determine how much individual customers still owe, after compensation is subtracted. Calculations are also being made to work out compensation entitlement for each former borrower who has already paid off their loans. These individuals are now receiving emails, and accompanying text messages, outlining their entitlement, or new balance if they are still paying back loans. The emails carry the logo of the administrators, KPMG, and WageDay Advance and Juo Loans. However, recipients must reply to claim the compensation that has been calculated. The number of claims will determine how much is eventually paid out, but it will only be a fraction of the full amount. Anyone with outstanding loans will still have to pay off the balance after compensation has been subtracted, although fees and interest have been permanently frozen. Debt adviser Sara Williams, who writes the Debt Camel blog, said the total compensation bill reflected the \"huge amount of interest many desperate people ended up paying\". \"Payday loans are supposed to be short term borrowing. But too often Wageday Advance customers were caught in the payday loan trap for months and even years, only able to repay a loan if they borrowed again soon after,\" she said. \"Wageday Advance were a medium-size payday lender. It would be interesting to know if the other lenders have worked out how much they should be paying in refunds to customers given unaffordable loans.\" About 60,000 loans - almost entirely recent loans without any compensation entitlement - were sold off to Shelby Finance Limited, and will continue as normal. Customers can check if they are one of those transferred on the WageDay website. Wider issue Fears over the level of personal debt built up by individuals continues to concern charities. In its annual report, published on Wednesday, debt charity StepChange said there had been a \"small, but worrying\" rise in the number of people seeking help who had payday, or high-cost and short-term, loans. Some 26% of new female clients and 35% of new male clients, aged under 25, had this kind of debt, a much higher level than older age groups. Overall, the charity said it had seen a consistent rise in single parents seeking help, Some 85% of them were women. In 2018, 23% of those who took debt advice were single parents, up from 21.5% in 2017 and from 18% since 2014. Single parents account for only 6% of the UK population. \"While debt can strike at any age, on average our clients are getting younger. It is important that policymakers work to help turn the tide and prevent debt becoming an inevitable rite of passage for young adults,\" said Phil Andrew, chief executive of StepChange.",

            "input": "A prolific writer of novels, essays and song lyrics who first came to prominence in the early 1970s, Morrison focused particularly on the experience of women within the black community. Her work earned her numerous awards, most notably the Nobel Prize for Literature, for which she broke new ground as the first African American winner. Her books The Bluest Eye, Beloved, Paradise and Love also led to Morrison winning the National Book Critics Circle Award and a Pulitzer Prize - and a global network of admirers including Hillary Clinton, Marlon Brando, Oprah Winfrey and fellow writers Margaret Atwood and AS Byatt. Speaking about her writing and its preoccupations, Morrison said in an Observer interview: \"When I began, there was just one thing that I wanted to write about, which was the true devastation of racism on the most vulnerable, the most helpless unit in the society - a black female and a child.\" Though her name was known around the world, Morrison was born with a different identity, Chloe Ardelia Wofford, on 18 February 1931. She was the second of four children. Toni Morrison: Nobel-prize winning author dies After her parents decided to leave the south of America, the family settled in Lorain, Ohio. Her father worked mainly as a welder but also held down other out-of-hours jobs in order to support his family. Morrison's mother was both musical and highly imaginative and inspired her daughter's blossoming love of literature through the sharing of songs and folklore. Morrison took on the middle name Anthony, from the saint, when she converted to Catholicism at the age of 12. Friends at university in Washington later shortened it to Toni. Writing group Given she was already reading Austen and Tolstoy at a very young age, Morrison's decision to study English seemed a natural choice, setting her on the path to her future career. But the undergraduate experience also gave her her first real taste of racism and segregation. Even though Howard University was an all-black establishment, students were defined and set into groups by the degree of darkness of their skin. In 1953 she went on to take a masters at Cornell University, choosing for her thesis The Treatment of the Alienated in Virginia Woolf and William Faulkner, focusing on the theme of suicide. A teaching career back at Howard followed, as did marriage to Jamaican-born architect Harold Morrison in 1958, and motherhood with the birth of two sons. The relationship crumbled after only a few years, but Morrison's future was about to begin. She joined a writing group and authored her first story, about a young black girl that prayed for blue eyes - based on the true feelings of one of Morrison's friends. The need to support herself and her children led to Morrison taking a job as an editor for Random House publishing in New York in 1963, a company with which she was eventually associated for 18 years. Her editing career became significant in that it fuelled some of her strongest interests and convictions, as she worked on anthologies of African authors such as Wole Soyinka and Chinua Achebe. Morrison also strove to bring black writers onto the mainstream market. Nobel honour It was also in her early years at Random that her novelist's career truly began. In 1970 she published The Bluest Eye, a fully formed version of her early story, set in Lorain during the Depression. Her second novel Sula, published three years later, was also set in Ohio and spanned 46 years from 1919 to 1965. But it was 1977's epic Song of Solomon, the first in a succession of historical novels about the black American experience, that truly marked Morrison out as a talent. It won her the National Book Critics Circle Award, the first of many career accolades. It follows the life of Macon \"Milkman\" Dead III, an African-American male living in Michigan, from birth to adulthood. Despite the abundance of acclaimed works in her subsequent career, Beloved remains Morrison's best-known novel and was later made into a movie starring Oprah Winfrey and Danny Glover. The story is based on the true case of Margaret Garner, a runaway slave who killed her daughter rather than see her recaptured. Her next novel was Jazz, published in 1992, which told a story of violence and passion set in New York City's Harlem during the 1920s. Then, in 1993, Morrison won the ultimate honour of the Nobel Prize for Literature. Toni Morrison novels The Bluest Eyes - 1970 Sula - 1973 Song of Solomon - 1977 Tar Baby - 1981 Beloved - 1987 Jazz - 1992 Paradise - 1997 Love - 2003 A Mercy - 2008 Home - 2012 God Help the Child - 2015 In choosing Morrison, the Swedish Nobel Academy singled out the way she \"delves into the language itself, a language she wants to liberate from the fetters of race\". And in an interview with the Observer, Morrison said of the honour: \"I felt representative, I felt American, I felt Ohioan, I felt blacker than ever. I felt more woman than ever.\" Songs and academia Morrison went on to write other novels including Paradise, from 1998, a portrait of a black utopian community in Oklahoma which won the Pulitzer Prize. Love, from 2003, was an intricate family story about the many facets of love. A Mercy, from 2008, dealt with slavery in 17th Century America, while Home, published in 2012, documented a traumatised Korean War veteran who faced racism after returning home. She also wrote a number of children's book in collaboration with her younger son Slade, a painter and musician, who died of pancreatic cancer in 2010 at the age of 45. Home was unfinished at the time and Morrison stopped working on it. She later revealed she found the attempts of comfort from friends left her numb. \"What do you say? There really are no words for that. There really aren't,\" she told The Guardian. \"Somebody tries to say, 'I'm sorry, I'm so sorry.' People say that to me. There's no language for it. Sorry doesn't do it. I think you should just hug people and mop their floor or something.\" Eventually, she said, she found the strength to complete Home because it was what her son would have wanted. In 2015, Morrison brought out her last novel God Help the Child, which told the story of a beautiful young woman who is tormented by the emotional abuse her mother subjected her to as a child because she had dark skin. Alongside her novel writing, Morrison proved herself as an essayist, specialising in race issues, a playwright and a songwriter. Most notably, she was commissioned by Carnegie Hall to write the lyrics for six songs for the soprano Kathleen Battle, set to music composed by Andre Previn. On top of these activities, Morrison had an illustrious career as an academic, regularly lecturing at universities across the US and earning a professorship at Princeton. Her other accolades included being made an officer of the French Legion of Honour in 2010. Two years later she was awarded the US Presidential Medal of Freedom.",

Charlotte, who's 23, admits to knowing Georgia had tried drugs in the past and says she warned her against taking them. \"She was a party girl who always wanted to have fun, but I never thought anything bad would happen,\" Charlotte tells Radio 1 Newsbeat. \"I ended up saying be careful but knew what she was going to do. She told us, she was an open book.\" Tommy Cowan, aged 20, also died on the first day of the Mutiny Festival. His dad has since warned others about the dangers of taking drugs. Five people were arrested during the police investigation at the time, but were released without charge. Hampshire Police told Newsbeat that the case is \"ongoing\" and that four people remain under investigation. Precious memories The last time Charlotte saw Georgia, they went on a country drive in Hampshire, a couple of days before the Mutiny Festival. \"She liked playing Eminem. It was just me and her and it was nice. I'm actually glad I have that memory together with her. \"I do that drive by myself sometimes, because we all have our little moments. I'll do our drive and put on our music. It's something that keeps me sane.\" Charlotte has found life hard since her sister's death. When she found out what happened she was stunned. \"I just dropped to the floor and everything went dark,\" she says. Now Charlotte and her mum Janine Milburn, 41, have started a petition calling for drugs testing at festivals. \"It would mean Georgia didn't die for nothing,\" says Charlotte. Janine says she believes Georgia's life could have been saved if she'd known what was in the drugs she was taking. Only since her death has her mum found out she'd taken ecstasy in the past. \"I believe every festival should have the front-of-house testing so people can find out what dose they are taking,\" she says. \"A lot of people would change their mind once they know what is in it.\" Charity The Loop, which tests drugs for potency and content has tried testing at festivals across the UK. But the government says its message is \"no illegal drug taking is safe\". Hate Not only is Janine dealing with the grief of losing her daughter, but she's also had to deal with online trolls. \"I've had a lot of hate since Georgia died. She wasn't a drug addict, she wasn't out of her face. She worked hard, she was a normal teenager. People have been really nasty.\" Janine says she has had \"lots\" of these messages. \"I'm strong enough to ignore it,\" she says. Follow Newsbeat on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter.

The attack on the diplomatic compound resulted in the death of US ambassador Chris Stevens and four US guards. Hillary Clinton, who was secretary of state at the time, was accused by Republicans of not doing enough. A jury in Washington acquitted Khattala of 14 of the 18 charges after deliberating for five days following a seven-week trial. He was convicted on four charges including conspiracy to provide material support for terrorism, maliciously destroying and injuring dwellings and property as well as using and carrying a semi-automatic weapon during a crime of violence. Khattala faces up to 60 years in prison. He was captured by US special forces in Libya in 2014.

They were armed with AK-47-type rifles, handguns and rocket-propelled grenade launchers. Stevens and diplomat Sean Smith died in the fire, while the remaining state department workers escaped to a separate US facility nearby. That building soon came under attack, and security officers Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty were killed by mortar fire. Prosecutors said Mr Abu Khattala entered the destroyed US mission and \"supervised the exploitation of material from the scene\" by armed men. According to US prosecutors, in the days following the attack, Mr Abu Khattala \"attempted to obtain various types of equipment, including weapons, to defend himself from feared American retaliation for the attack\".

The government held a consultation earlier in the year after an advisory panel backed raising the limit to 12. Early Years Minister Mark McDonald told MSPs the case for change was \"clear and compelling\". He said it had been backed by the United Nations, police, prosecutors, victims' groups and young people, adding: \"This is emphatically the right time and the right approach to raise the minimum age of criminal responsibility.\" The current age of criminal responsibility, when a child is considered capable of committing a crime and old enough to stand trial and be convicted of an offence, is currently set at 10 in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. In Scotland, while children cannot formally be prosecuted in a court until they are 12, from the age of eight they can go before a children's hearing and have these judgements added to their criminal record. In 2015, Lib Dem MSP Alison McInnes put forward amendments aimed at making the same change to a criminal justice bill in the previous Holyrood session, but saw them voted down at committee level. Mr McDonald said he wanted to put on the record his thanks to Ms McInnes for pressing the issue. The Scottish government set up an advisory group on the subject that same year, which came back with a report recommending the age of responsibility be raised to 12. A consultation was subsequently held between March and June 2016, with the Scottish government saying it would \"inform a decision by ministers\". 'Profoundly abusive backgrounds' Leading QC Derek Ogg told the BBC's Good Morning Scotland programme that it was important to take into account the background of a child when considering prosecution. He said: \"The thing that we've got to remember in all of this is that a child who offends is himself a victim. \"That's a child that we're talking about who's been let down. It may be parenting, it may be mental health services, it may be social services. \"The vast majority of children - and I'm talking about children until 16 - the vast majority of children who come into contact with criminal authorities and criminal courts are from profoundly abusive backgrounds, whether it's sexual abuse, criminal abuse or poverty. \"So we have to bear in mind that we are dealing with very vulnerable children when they come into contact with the criminal justice system.\" Tory MSP Douglas Ross said the change was backed by \"the vast majority of experts\", although he questioned how the Scottish government would build and sustain public confidence in the change. Mr McDonald replied that there would be engagement through the course of stand-alone legislation being passed. Scottish Labour backed the change, with Claire Baker saying a \"strong and persuasive argument\" had been made by a range of groups. The Scottish Greens also supported the move, with John Finnie saying bringing Scottish policy into line with the UN Declaration on the Rights of the Child was \"very welcome\". And Lib Dem MSP Liam McArthur called it a \"national embarrassment\" that eight-year-olds are currently treated as criminals rather than children. The Scottish Youth Parliament said the change was an \"important step\" that would \"help ensure that Scotland is a fair place for children, and shift focus to supporting children instead of criminalising them\".",

The 24-year-old, whose real name is Josep Miquel Arenas Beltran, was due to begin a three-and-a-half year prison sentence on Thursday for producing lyrics the Spanish courts ruled glorify terrorism and insult the Spanish monarchy. In one song Valtonyc rapped: \"I want to send a message of hope to Spaniards: Eta is a great nation,\" in a reference to the Basque militant group. \"The king has a rendezvous at the village square, with a noose around his neck,\" he says in another. The musician's appeal to the Supreme Court, on the grounds that he was protected by his right to freedom of expression, was rejected. The defiant tweet, in which he calls Spain a \"fascist state,\" has been retweeted almost 40,000 times and #FreeValtonyc was used to express support for the rapper, featuring in more than 350,000 tweets, largely supporting the musician. You might also be interested in: Catalonia's ex-leader Carles Puidgdemont, recently detained in Germany after himself going into exile following the Catalan independence referendum last year, tweeted support for Valtonyc: \"All my affection to you for a difficult decision, but it allows you to continue defending values and fundamental freedoms without which there is no democracy.\" Journalist Fonsi Loaiza wrote: \"Rapper @valtonyc is 24 years old and has had to leave his family to go into exile. He was going to prison for rapping, when he was 19, a song in Catalan against the King. In Spain there are 1,900 politicians charged with corruption, just 80 are in prison.\" \"You are very brave. I would leave and denounce it away from here. Whatever you do, I'll stick with you,\" wrote Twitter user Lulu, and others called on him to challenge the ruling while in exile. Meanwhile, Ica Inca commented that it was \"shameful\" people were turning a blind eye to the challenges to freedom of expression in Spain. However others criticised the rapper for the violent lyrics, saying he was content to rap \"violent\" lyrics but fled when it landed him in trouble. Another suggested the country he has fled to will not be happy if he begins to rap about \"killing their policeman\". In a recent concert, Valtonyc shouted, \"Kill a Civil Guard (police) officer tonight.\" 'Extremism or intolerance' The case is the latest in a series of convictions of artists, filmmakers and journalists who have fallen foul of anti-terrorism laws in Spain. Human rights group Amnesty International has called the actions \"draconian\" and \"a sustained attack on freedom of speech\". The Spanish government has defended the legislation: \"We have to fight against any sign of extremism or intolerance,\" Interior Minister Juan Ignacio Zoido said. Turkish rapper arrest In a similar case this week, Turkish police arrested rapper Ezhel, real name Sercan Ipekcioglu, claiming his lyrics encourage drug use, although no specific song was mentioned. Thousands are using #FreeEzhel on Twitter to defend the singer, who was due to appear at popular music festival Sziget in Hungary in August. \"I should tell you something funnier than your jokes about Ezhel. The mentality which puts artists in prison due to their lyrics is the mentality that will one day want to meddle with the length of your skirts while walking on the streets, the colour of your hair, your beard and your earring,\" one user wrote. Ezhel has more than 570,000 monthly listeners on Spotify and his song Sehrimin Tadi (Taste Of My City) has had 31 million views on YouTube since July 2017.",

            "input": "The Education Policy Institute says disadvantaged pupils are on average 18 months behind the rest of the class in academic achievement by the age of 16. At the current rate, the study says it will take 500 years to close the gap. The Department for Education said £2.4bn per year was dedicated to supporting poorer pupils. The report looks at the progress of disadvantaged pupils - defined as those eligible for free school meals. It's not going to surprise anyone that deprived youngsters tend to do less well in school - but what might be unexpected is the huge scale of the regional differences. The 10 areas in which the achievement gap is narrowest are all in London, many with high levels of deprivation. By the age of 16, disadvantaged pupils in Westminster are less than four months behind the national average - but in Blackpool they are more than two years behind, which is pretty disastrous for GCSE courses, which only last two years, and means all the doors opened by GCSEs, A-levels, college and university are likely to stay closed. It's not a simple North-South gap. Many of the places where disadvantaged youngsters achieve the lowest results are in the North, such as Knowsley, Rotherham and Hartlepool. But they're also struggling in Portsmouth, Kent and Peterborough. This suggests it could be another facet of the deep-rooted underachievement of white working class youngsters, one of the biggest ungrasped nettles facing the education system. London has a hugely diverse population, served by schools that have received a lot of investment, and debates about the educational success of the capital have often struggled to separate the active ingredients - how much it is the impact of schools and how much the intake of pupils. Funding is another factor, as London schools also tend to receive the highest level of per pupil spending. The new prime minister has promised extra cash for schools - and this latest study will raise questions about where it should be spent. 'Ground to a halt' \"For the first time in several years, the gap between poorer pupils and their peers at GCSE has stopped closing,\" says report author Jo Hutchinson. There were some improvements between 2011 and 2015 - but this has slowed and at secondary levels is showing signs of going backwards. David Laws, Education Policy Institute chairman and former education minister, says: \"We are now witnessing a major setback for social mobility in our country. Recent progress on narrowing the education gap between poor children and the rest has ground to a halt.\" The report also shows the difference in achievement between ethnic groups. The highest achieving group are Chinese pupils, on average more than two years ahead of white British pupils - the biggest group, which is not broken down into wealthy or poorer teenagers. Indian and white Irish pupils are also significantly ahead, but Pakistani and black Caribbean pupils have lower results than white British. Julie McCulloch, of the ASCL head teachers' union, said the \"report makes for grim reading and should be sounding alarm bells in Whitehall\". She blamed the stalling in progress on \"severe financial pressures\" that meant schools had to \"cut back on individual support\". \"Schools and colleges need an immediate multibillion-pound emergency investment,\" said Paul Whiteman, leader of the National Association of Head Teachers. Labour's shadow education secretary Angela Rayner said: \"This is the latest evidence that inequality continues to rise under the Tories, with the most disadvantaged students losing out.\" But School Standards Minister Nick Gibb said that the gap for both primary and secondary schools was narrower than in 2011. \"During that time this government has delivered a range of reforms to ensure every child, regardless of their background, gets a high-quality education. \"We are investing £2.4bn this year alone through the pupil premium to help the most disadvantaged children.\"",

            "input": "By Andrew WalkerBBC World Service economics correspondent Britain's economy is likely to slump by 11.5% in 2020, slightly outstripping falls in countries such as Germany, France, Spain and Italy, it said. If there were a second peak in the pandemic, the UK economy could contract by as much as 14%. \"The crisis will cast a long shadow over the world,\" the OECD added. It said that in what it called a \"single-hit scenario\", with no second peak, there could be contractions of 11.4% in France, 11.1% in Spain, 11.3% in Italy and 6.6% in Germany. In its latest assessment, the OECD found that the UK's largely service-based economy meant that it had been particularly badly hit by the government's lockdown restrictions. The services sector, including financial services, hospitality and tourism, makes up about three-quarters of the UK's GDP. In response to the think tank's report, Chancellor Rishi Sunak said the UK was not the only one to suffer: \"In common with many other economies around the world, we're seeing the significant impact of coronavirus on our country and our economy. \"The unprecedented action we've taken to provide lifelines that help people and businesses through the economic disruption will ensure our economic recovery is as strong and as swift as possible.\" Shadow chancellor Anneliese Dodds said: \"Today's evidence from the OECD is deeply worrying, showing the UK was particularly exposed when the coronavirus crisis hit. \"The government's failure to get on top of the health crisis, delay going into lockdown and chaotic mismanagement of the exit from lockdown are making the economic impact of this crisis worse.\" The central finding of the OECD forecasts is that the expectations or hopes of a rapid bounceback in the economy - a so-called V-shaped chart - is not now happening. As Secretary General Angel Gurria put it to me, it will be \"U-shaped\", the question is how long will be the period at the bottom of this \"U\". This pattern is not affecting all countries equally. And in the event of there being no further peak, the prediction is that the UK is the worst hit this year, though just a little bit worse than Italy and France. For those who like a glass half full, it also predicts the strongest growth in the UK at 9% for 2021. But that is a rather hollow prize. The reason why is that the UK economy is peculiarly exposed as a trading economy with significant service and tourist sectors. But it is also a nation that has been among the hardest hit by the underlying pandemic. This hit comes despite a much-praised rapid response deploying tens of billions to keep millions of workers on payrolls. The OECD also mentions the pandemic economic impact being \"compounded\" by the looming plausible failure to sign a trade deal with the EU and new trade barriers with the European Union at the end of the year. It recommends temporarily extending the UK's stay in the single market. That is advice that the government has shown no inclination to follow so far. The bigger point is that the OECD is subtly pointing to the fact that one rescue package is not enough. Late last week the Germans announced a massive 4% stimulus to the economy, including a thumping cut to VAT, and significant subsidies for the purchase of cars. The league table is an invitation to do more. And we will soon enough get actual hard economic data, as opposed to forecasts such as this, when the monthly GDP figure for April - entirely locked down - is published on Friday. Global impact The OECD said the pandemic had started to recede in many countries and activity had begun to pick up, but it does not expect a convincing recovery. It sees the outlook for public health as extremely uncertain. OECD chief economist Laurence Boone said the pandemic would have \"dire and long-lasting consequences for people, firms and governments\". She added: \"Extraordinary policies will be required to walk the tightrope towards recovery. Even if growth does surge in some sectors, overall activity will remain muted for a while.\" The OECD looked at two scenarios for how the pandemic might unfold, depending on whether there is a second wave of contagion or not before the end of this year. If that does happen, two countries - France and Spain - would suffer even deeper declines in economic activity than the UK this year. The report describes both outlooks as sobering, but either way, the deep recession now unfolding will be followed by a slow recovery. In the more severe case, the global economy could shrink by 7.6% over this year, the OECD says. That figure is significantly worse than predictions put forward by other agencies, such as the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank, which have warned about the high level of uncertainty attached to their forecasts. By the end of 2021, the report says that five or more years of income growth could be lost in many countries. It says the impact on livelihoods will be especially severe among the most vulnerable groups. The OECD also says the pandemic has accelerated the shift from what it calls \"great integration\" to \"great fragmentation\". That is essentially a setback for globalisation, reflected in additional trade and investment restrictions and many borders that are closed at least while the health crisis persists.",

But the Rev Doug Gay, of Glasgow University, said independence would enable Scotland \"to set out on a new journey of reform\". The Church of Scotland has committed to a neutral position on independence. However, its members said it was important to reflect on issues dominating public life ahead of September's referendum. Chairing the debate, the newly-installed moderator of the General Assembly, the Rt Rev John Chalmers, said he wanted to see a \"respectful dialogue\". Representing the pro-Union Better Together campaign, Mr Alexander said: \"That today's event is not a debate but a respectful dialogue is, in itself, a reflection of the Kirk's contribution to the shaping of Scotland; reminding us that we are at our best when we focus on what connects us, not what divides us.\" 'Common endeavour' Labour's shadow foreign secretary added: \"We have a strong Scottish Parliament and more powers are on the way. \"Given that historic change it cannot be argued seriously any longer that Scotland's culture, its distinctive institutions, or its nationhood are today threatened by the partnership that is the United Kingdom. \"The referendum, in fact, is an opportunity to reaffirm the common endeavour of sharing risks, resources and rewards across these islands and to uphold the ethic and the practice of neighbourliness - being our brother and sister's keeper.\" Later, he said: \"Friends, the break-up of the United Kingdom would represent a defeat for progressive ideals and a retreat from a shared vision of a multi ethnic, multi-cultural, multi-national state. \"The future I believe will belong to those who build networks of co-operation, because they understand, because they feel, that while our differences do matter, our common humanity matters more.\" Rev Gay, a lecturer in theology and religious studies, said: \"As Christians, we believe that respectful dialogue commits us to listen to the other, including our opponents, with attentiveness and respect. \"Among the most disturbing things I ever heard a Christian politician say was Tony Blair saying he didn't have a reverse gear. We all need a reverse gear.\" He added: \"We are flawed and fallible people - in our political and economic life, as in our personal and social life, there is a lot we don't know, a lot we don't control and a lot we get wrong. \"And if our political scripts or party whips don't allow us to say that, then we need to change them.\" 'Respectful union' Backing a \"Yes\" vote for independence, he told the General Assembly: \"I have no truck with narrow nationalism, the nationalism I espouse and the one which is to the fore in Scotland at the moment is a generous, hospitable, liberal civic nationalism - a broad, not a narrow nationalism. \"One which welcomes new Scots who settle here and welcomes those of many nationalities who come to Scotland for a season. \"One which wants to enjoy a warm and respectful social union with England and Wales and Northern Ireland - to be open to a constructive currency union, to maintain a co-operative union with Europe and the Commonwealth - one which wants to take its place as an equal partner in the family of nations.\" He argued that the referendum offered \"a historic opportunity this year to set out on a new journey of reform\" which he did not believe the UK in its present form was capable of. The discussion was also opened to speakers from the floor. Among them, former moderator Lorna Hood said she was worried that faith had been given little prominence in the SNP's White Paper on independence. Others highlighted the role the Kirk could play in healing any divisions caused by the referendum. Given the Kirk's position of neutrality there was no vote at the close of the session.",

            "input": "The Office for National Statistics (ONS) said the fall in output was largely due to a drop in mining and quarrying, after maintenance delays at the UK's largest North Sea oil field. The economy had grown by 0.9% in the previous quarter, boosted by the London 2012 Olympic Games. For the whole year, growth was flat. The ONS said that the \"bumpy economy\" was on a \"sluggish trend\". Manufacturing fell by 1.5% in the fourth quarter, the services sector was flat, but construction output rose by 0.3%. Within the manufacturing sector, mining and quarrying output fell by 10.2%, the biggest decline since records began in 1997, driven by disruption to North Sea oil and gas fields. The Buzzard oil field, about 100 kilometres north east of Aberdeen, was shut in early September for maintenance work that was expected to take about 28 days, according to reports. But Buzzard resumed production in early November, and it was not until the end of that month that full capacity was reached. Buzzard, run by Nexen and with BG Group a 21.7% shareholder, is one of the biggest North Sea fields to be developed in 10 years. The field holds enough crude potentially to deliver about 10% of the UK's annual forecast oil demand. Nexen declined to comment on the maintenance work's impact on the GDP figures, but added: \"The shutdowns occur every five years, are planned, and are required in order to comply with regulatory requirements. The shutdowns enable us to repair and upgrade equipment that cannot be accessed when the facilities are operating.\" If oil and gas extraction were excluded from the overall gross domestic product (GDP) calculations, then the data would have shown that the economy shrank by only 0.1% in the fourth quarter, the ONS said. GDP is the sum of all goods and services made in the economy. 'Difficult situation' This is the first estimate of how the economy performed in the fourth quarter, and is subject to at least two further revisions as more data is collected. Chancellor George Osborne said the figures were a reminder that the UK faces \"a very difficult economic situation\". He described them as \"a reminder that last year was particularly difficult, that we face problems at home with the debts built up over many years, and problems abroad with the eurozone, where we export many of our products, deep in recession\". \"Now we can either run away from those problems or we can confront them. And I'm determined to confront them so we can go on creating jobs for the people of this country,\" Mr Osborne said. But Labour's shadow chancellor Ed Balls said: \"Today's news confirms what business leaders, retailers and families have known for many months - that depressed confidence and a chronic shortage of demand mean our economy continues to flat line. \"This government's failing plan has now seen our economy stagnate for over two years and borrowing is now rising as a result.\" Frances O'Grady, general secretary of the TUC, said: \"We are now mid-way through the coalition's term of office and its economic strategy has been a complete disaster. \"The economy has grown by just 1%, real wages have fallen, and the manufacturing and construction sectors have shrunk. We remain as dependent on the City as we did before the financial crash.\" Momentum? If the economy were to also shrink in the first three months of 2013, then the UK would re-enter recession, defined as two consecutive quarters of contraction. The CBI business group said it expected growth \"to continue to be fairly flat through the winter but momentum will gradually build later in the year, as the global economy picks up a little and confidence lifts\". Capital Economics believes another contraction in the first quarter is \"quite possible... especially given the snow disruption\". However, the Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) said that while the economy was struggling to maintain momentum, its research showed that small firms were slightly more confident going into 2013 than they were going into 2012. The Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR), the government's independent financial watchdog, has forecast growth of 1.2% this year, slightly above most other independent forecasts. Earlier this week the International Monetary Fund (IMF) cut its growth forecast for the UK to 1% from 1.1%, but this is a rosier picture compared with its outlook for the eurozone, which it expects to shrink by 0.1% this year. Fallback The ONS data for the fourth quarter showed the drop-off in activity in the services sector following the end of the Olympics and Paralympics. Services make up about three-quarters of the UK's economic activity. In the third quarter of the year - when the Olympics and Paralympics took place - the sector grew by 1.2%. The ONS said there was some evidence of \"fallback\" in the fourth quarter, seen in the hotel and restaurant industries and in land transport. The biggest impact, though, was in sports activities, amusement and recreation, which dropped 22.5%. This was mainly due to increased ticket sales for the Games in the third quarter, and contributed 0.2 percentage points to the fall in overall GDP in the fourth quarter. Across the year as a whole, services grew by 1.2% , while total industrial production fell by 2.5% and construction dropped by 9.3%. 'Grim' quarter Lee Hopley, chief economist at EEF, the manufacturers' organisation, said there were \"no positive takeaways\" from the figures. \"Even assuming some unwinding of activity from the Olympics boost in the previous quarter, this still leaves no real signs of underlying growth in the economy. \"The news from industry was particularly weak, with November's sharp drop on output contributing to a rather grim fourth quarter and leaving the overall picture for manufacturing in 2012 the weakest since 2009.\" Economists at IHS Global Insight noted that GDP in the fourth quarter of 2012 was 3.3% below the peak level seen in the first quarter of 2008. They estimate that it will not return to that level until the first half of 2015 - a gap of seven years. Austerity debate The government's economic policies came under focus on Thursday when the chief economist at the International Monetary Fund (IMF) said that the chancellor should consider slowing down austerity measures in his March budget, because of their effect on growth. \"We think this would be a good time to take stock,\" Olivier Blanchard told BBC Radio 4's Today programme. But Mr Osborne later rebuffed Mr Blanchard's advice. Speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos, he said that spending cuts must continue if the government is to retain its credibility. \"We have a credible and flexible debt reduction plan. That credibility is very hard won and easily lost,\" he said. However, Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg has said that the coalition made a mistake in cutting back capital spending when it came to office. He told The House magazine that ministers had reassured themselves at the time that the reduction was in line with plans drawn up by Labour. But they now realised investment in infrastructure was crucial for economic recovery, he added. When asked about Mr Clegg's views, Mr Osborne responded: \"What Nick Clegg has said is that capital investment is important and I agree with that, which is why we have added £20bn of capital investment to our plans over the last couple of years. \"But you can only do that if you have convinced the world that you can pay your way - that investors have confidence in the UK. We've got that confidence.\"",

The SSPO data showed the average death rate across all Scottish salmon farms was between about 1% and 1.5% for each of the first four months of this year. About 60% of farms stocked with fish had less than 1% mortality. The worst monthly mortality rate, of 19%, was recorded in March at Marine Harvest's Carradale North operation in Argyll, with storms cited as a factor. Figures for deaths over the full production cycle - which is normally two years - were also released. They showed that the Scottish Salmon Company lost 58% of its fish at its farm at Inch Kenneth off Mull, where parasitic sea lice had been a problem. The reporting includes information on the causes of mortality, including gill health, anaemia, marine predators and severe weather. In March, Holyrood's environment committee warned that Scotland's marine ecosystem faced \"irrecoverable damage\" from salmon farming if environmental concerns were not addressed, A report concluded that there has been little progress in tackling environmental problems since 2002. 'Hugely important' The Scottish Salmon Producers Organisation (SSPO) has insisted that it is committed to long-term sustainability. Chief executive Julie Hesketh-Laird said: \"The health and welfare of salmon is hugely important to salmon farmers. \"This regular, voluntary publication is unparalleled and sets a precedent for transparency in business reporting. \"It sets a base line to show future trends and currently around two-thirds of active salmon farms have 99% survival rates.\" The Scottish government's chief veterinary officer, Sheila Voas, said: \"We welcome the fact that salmon farming is taking steps to be more open and transparent about the levels of mortality within the sector.\"",

The inquiry was sparked by presenter Carrie Gracie, who had accused the corporation of pay discrimination. The BBC said much of the report was out of date but there is \"more to do\". It said reforms to its pay structure now \"ensure fairness and give an unprecedented level of transparency\". Director general Tony Hall said: \"This report is looking backwards and has not caught up to where we are. In the last year, our gender pay gap is one of the lowest in the media in the UK, if not the lowest. \"It's come down in the last year by 20%, and we're the only organisation in the UK who's committed to getting our gender pay gap down to equal by the end of 2020.\" Ofcom's BBC findings The committee's findings come on the same day as the publication of Ofcom's annual report on the BBC, which assesses how the corporation is performing. The broadcasting regulator identified four areas where the BBC should go further to deliver for audiences: In July 2017, the publication of the BBC's highest-earning presenters revealed an imbalance between the numbers of men and women at the top of the list, leading to an outcry and the corporation commissioning three separate reviews into pay. But the DCMS committee's report said a new BBC pay framework was \"of no use in helping women compare their salaries to those of their male colleagues\". The committee's chairman Damian Collins MP said the BBC \"must take urgent action now\". \"The BBC acts as a beacon in public life. As an employer it has an even higher level of duty than others to advance equality of opportunity - but this it has failed to do,\" he added. The MPs also criticised the BBC's investigations into pay, saying the corporation had \"failed adequately to consult staff\". In June, the BBC apologised for underpaying Ms Gracie, BBC News's former China editor, compared with the male international editors, and gave her back pay. Gracie left her role in January, accusing the BBC of operating a \"secretive and illegal pay culture\" and said it was facing a \"crisis of trust\". The MPs said the episode pointed to a \"culture of invidious, opaque decision-making\". The BBC said: \"Recent disclosures by other media organisations show that the BBC's gender pay gap is amongst the smallest and well below the national average. But we do hold ourselves to a higher standard. \"That is why our action on pay has seen the BBC make real progress in addressing equal pay cases\". The corporation highlighted its audit of equal pay and future planned reviews of pay transparency, as well as the introduction of independent oversight to resolve disputes and steps to rebalance \"top talent pay\". The BBC added that its reform to pay structure would \"ensure fairness and give an unprecedented level of transparency and information about pay ranges for all staff\". But BBC Women, a group representing female journalists and producers, said the MPs' report revealed there was \"intractable processes, lack of transparency, evasive tactics, and no genuinely independent oversight\" at the corporation. \"BBC management should lead by example, implement the recommendations made by the select committee immediately, meet its legal obligations on pay,\" it said.

            "input": "The bill includes $1,400 payments, an extension of jobless benefits, and a child tax credit that is expect to lift millions out of poverty. Mr Biden said the relief package will rebuild \"the backbone of this country\". The spending bill, one of the largest in US history, passed Congress without a single Republican supporter. Mr Biden is due to give a primetime address later on Thursday to tout the bill's provisions. He and other Democrats will also hold a signing ceremony at the White House on Friday. This sixth Covid-19 relief bill is a major legislative win for Mr Biden. The package has been broadly popular among Americans. A March Pew Research Center poll found that 70% of US adults surveyed expressed support for the bill, including 41% of Republicans. Unemployment skyrocketed over the last year, with a current rate of 6.2%, according to the US Labor Department. Mr Biden had originally planned the bill signing for Friday, but it was pushed up in his schedule \"because Congress enroled the bill more quickly than we anticipated,\" White House spokesperson Jen Psaki said in a tweet. Joe Biden was originally expected to sign the ambitiously named \"American Recovery Plan Act\" at the White House on Friday. Instead the final step in enacting the president's first significant piece of legislation was moved up to Thursday afternoon. An official ceremony is still planned for Friday, but the scheduling change reveals an administration anxious to get busy selling the American people on the benefits of this massive and multifaceted piece of government spending. This - and Biden's address to the nation Thursday night - are the opening gun of a two-week public-relations blitz, including presidential travel, to highlight the legislation. It shouldn't be too hard a sell, as opinion polls indicate widespread support for the law even among Republican voters. What Biden and the Democrats don't want is a repeat of the 2009 Great Recession relief bill passed under President Barack Obama. Many in the party believe that Democrats did not claim enough credit for the law's benefits - and that voters had forgotten about their efforts when they cast their ballots in the 2010 congressional mid-term elections (and roundly voted Democrats out of office). Biden, as vice-president, had a front-row seat for that debacle. His actions as president suggest he hasn't forgotten it. What's in the bill? The act includes one-off direct payments worth $1,400 to be sent off to most Americans. It extends weekly jobless benefit payments of $300 until September. It also allocates $350bn to state and local governments, some $130bn to school reopening, $49bn for expanded Covid-19 testing and research, as well as $14bn for vaccine distribution. A proposal to raise the national minimum wage from $7.25 to $15 per hour became a sticking point in the Senate and did not make it into the final version of the bill. When will stimulus money be deposited? White House officials say that direct payments, the third payments of the pandemic, will begin before the end of March. Previous cheques were sent out by tax officials within one to two weeks of the bills' passage. Individuals earning up to $75,000 will receive a $1,400 payment. Tax officials at the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) use tax statements to determine the exact size of each person's payment. For that reason they have urged Americans to quickly file their tax returns, which are due 15 April. Stimulus cheques sent out by Mr Biden's predecessor, Donald Trump, included the former president's personal signature. But Mrs Psaki said Mr Biden's signature will not be on these payments. What does the child tax credit do? Currently, American couples are able to apply for a $2,000 per child under the Child Tax Credit, a 24-year old government programme. This law increases the tax break to $3,000 for every child age 6 to 17. Children under the age of 6 will receive a $3,600 benefit. More than 4 million children - more than half of the total - could be lifted out of poverty, according to analysis from the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities. It also extends access to lower income families, even those that pay nothing in taxes, by making the credit refundable. The programme is temporary, and will expire after one year. What did Biden say? Before signing the bill in the White House Oval Office, Mr Biden said the bill is about \"rebuilding the backbone of this country and giving people in this nation, working people, middle class folks, the people that built the country a fighting chance. \"That's what the essence of it is.\" He promised that he would have \"a lot more to say about that tonight and the next couple of days\". Mr Biden will deliver his first primetime address to the American public on Thursday night. The speech comes on the 50th day of his presidency. It will be the third time this year that he has marked a moment in the coronavirus pandemic, which has left more than 529,000 people dead and over 29 million infected. Previewing his remarks on Wednesday, Mr Biden said he would be laying out \"the next phase,\" of the US Covid-response. \"There is light at the end of this dark tunnel of the past year. But we cannot let our guard down now or assume the victory is inevitable,\" he said. \"Together, we're going get through this pandemic and usher in a healthier and more hopeful future.\" On Thursday, the White House announced that Mr Biden and Vice-president Kamala Harris will travel to Atlanta, Georgia next Friday as part of the \"Help is Here tour to amplify the American Rescue Plan\".",

            "input": "By Shashi TharoorIndian parliamentarian Born half a century ago in the middle of a world riven by antagonism between the USA and the USSR and the alliances they led, Nam had been the vehicle for developing countries to assert their independence from the competing claims of the two superpowers. But with the end of the Cold War, there are no longer two rival blocs to be non-aligned between, and many have questioned the relevance of a movement whose very name signifies the negation of a choice that is no longer on the world's geopolitical table. With the passing of the binary superpower-led world, Nam has redefined itself as a movement for countries that are not aligned with any major power. 'Western imperialism' Since this is a state of affairs that is true of most countries in the world outside Nato, the globe's only surviving military alliance, it is hardly sufficient to justify the maintenance of the movement. So Nam has been shaping a persona that is increasingly vocal about resisting the hegemony of the sole superpower, the US, and in asserting the independence of its members - overwhelmingly former colonies in the developing world - from the dominance of \"Western imperialism\". The somewhat old-fashioned sound of the term revives charges that the movement is out of date. More seriously, this perception is compounded by the increasing visibility within Nam of countries like Iran, the current Chair of the movement, and Venezuela, its designated successor - both nations whose strident hostility to the US underscores Nam's anti-Western image. The very location of the summit serves to undercut the West's attempts to isolate Iran internationally and so proclaims Nam's defiance of the currents of the times. Does such an orientation sit well with the rest of the membership, which includes such partners of Washington as India, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Kenya, Qatar and the Philippines? Some of these countries would probably feel less comfortable with the political rhetoric of Nam than with its economic arguments at a time when predatory global capitalism is increasingly under challenge around the world - but others have been noticeably receptive to US economic policies. In any case economics is the domain of the G-77, the \"trade union\" of the developing world, not Nam, whose raison d'etre is political. Nam does, however, embody the desire of many developing countries to stake out their own positions distinct from the Western-led consensus on a host of global issues - energy, climate change, technology transfer, the protection of intellectual property specially in pharmaceuticals, and trade, to name a few. In its determination to articulate a different standpoint on such issues, Nam embodies many developing countries' desire to uphold their own strategic autonomy in world affairs and the post-colonial desire to assert their independence from the West. Necessary reflection The ongoing \"Arab Spring\" that has convulsed the Middle East has affected several Nam members directly. The countries that have undergone the most significant changes - Egypt, Libya, Tunisia and Syria - are all members of NAM. The movement should therefore be a logical vehicle to pursue a resolution of the issues swirling around the turbulence of the region. But its members are too hopelessly divided to forge a common position - and the anti-Assad views of many of them on Syria, for instance, are not very different from those of the West. Nonetheless the Nam summit is expected to discuss the developments in the Arab world in the hope of evolving a shared understanding of the region's future evolution. Whether this will amount to much more than words remains to be seen. For a country like India, whose two decades of economic growth have made it an important player on the global stage, the non-aligned movement remains a necessary reflection of its anti-colonial heritage. But it is no longer the only, or even the principal, forum for its international ambitions. In the second decade of the 21st century, India is moving increasingly beyond non-alignment to what I have described, in my recent book, Pax Indica: India and the World of the 21st Century, as \"multi-alignment\" - maintaining a series of relationships, in different configurations, some overlapping, some not, with a variety of countries for different purposes. Thus India is simultaneously a member of the Non-Aligned Movement and of the Community of Democracies, where it serves alongside the same imperial powers that NAM decries. It has a key role in both the G-77 (the \"trade union\" of developing countries) and the G-20 (the \"management\" of the globe's macro-economic issues). An acronym-laden illustration of what multi-alignment means lies in India's membership of Ibsa (the South-South cooperation mechanism that unites it with Brazil and South Africa), of RIC (the trilateral forum with Russia and China), of Brics (which brings all four of these partners together) and of Basic (the environmental-negotiation group which adds China to Ibsa but not Russia). India belongs to all of these groupings; all serve its interests in different ways. That is the manner in which India pursues its place in the world, and the non-aligned movement is largely incidental to it.",

Mr Jones said continuing to strengthen relations between Westminster and Cardiff Bay would benefit the people of Wales. He said: \"Wales needs its two governments to work together.\" Mr Jones said that although 2012 was \"a golden year for Great Britain\" it also \"underlined that we are not immune to the uncertainties faced in the global market\".

A future for nuclear generation on Anglesey was highlighted by the Welsh secretary as his \"number one ambition\". \"I was therefore delighted to welcome Hitachi's commitment to invest in new nuclear in Wylfa B,\" he said. \"The site will play a major role in securing the nation's energy supplies and will be a key driver of economic growth, bringing between 5,000 and 6,000 construction jobs to north Wales, as well as up to 1,000 well paid, high quality employment opportunities once the site is operational.\" 'Important milestones' A business case for the electrification of the rail line from Holyhead to Crewe was also under discussion, Mr Jones said. \"We will not achieve results overnight - the next rail investment period is still some years away - but we must start now to ensure the business case meets the same rigorous standards of the south Wales case, and to ensure that north Wales is able to put forward the economic advantages that such an investment would undoubtedly bring.\" Looking at the economy as a whole, he added: \"There are significant grounds to believe that Wales' prospects will improve significantly over the next 12 months.

Hett's partner Russell Hayward said the permanent memorial \"means a lot\". \"It's so wonderful what the Corrie family have done,\" Hayward told BBC News. \"The bench is extraordinary - it's beautiful - and I think he would be beside himself. \"It's just the most bittersweet thing. I can't thank them enough for what they've done. \"Considering Martyn's biggest passion was Coronation Street, to know that he is part of the set now forever, there are no words for it.\" The inscription on the bench says: \"For Martyn and all those who lost their lives on the 22nd May 2017. We stand together.\" A number of stars from the ITV soap attended Hett's funeral in June. His coffin was adorned with pictures of Corrie characters - including his favourite Deirdre Barlow, of whom he had a tattoo on his leg. The bench will be seen on screen in an \"urban garden\" that has just been created as part of an expansion of the soap's set in Manchester. \"We wanted to create a beautiful and colourful tribute for those who so sadly lost their lives last year,\" an ITV press release said. The bench was created by Dan Taylor, one of the show's scenic artists, and artist Ruth Wilkinson. It is on Victoria Street, which also includes a new tram stop, a police station, an Indian restaurant, a tattoo parlour and a snooker hall.

Mr Gallagher initially claimed he had no recollection of receiving a cheque for 5,000 euros from an individual in Dundalk, County Louth, two years ago. Mr Gallagher later conceded an envelope may have been handed over. He said the cheque would have been delivered to Fianna Fail headquarters. Mr McGuinness raised the issue of the cheque which is thought to have related to a Fianna Fail fundraiser. He told RTE's Frontline programme: \"This gentleman told me there was between 30 and 35 people in the room.

            "input": "Hugh PymHealth editor@bbcHughPymon Twitter In 2010 a ground-breaking report for the government in England by Sir Michael Marmot set out the social factors governing health and pointed to the role of a child's early years in determining life chances. Now, leading child health experts are saying that little progress has been made since then and that health inequality is still blighting the lives of young people. The Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health is arguing that what it calls the wide gap between rich and poor is damaging infant health around the UK. The college president, Professor Neena Modi, points out that in general the health of young people has improved dramatically over the last 30 years. But she argues that a lot more needs to be done to improve child health and that it is \"particularly troubling\" that \"stark inequalities\" have widened in the last few years. Mortality rate worsens The report says that the UK ranks high amongst Western European countries on mortality rates for infants under the age of one. The relative position, according to the report, has worsened since the UK sat around the average in 1970. Deprivation, it says, is strongly linked to death rates among children. The college believes that many of the causes of infant mortality are preventable and asserts that issues such as fetal growth restriction disproportionately affect the least advantaged families in society. Reducing child poverty, with benefits and housing policy playing a part, are crucial for improving infant survival, according to the report. New mortality data have been published this week by the Office for National Statistics. They underline again the scale of inequalities. Within England, the West Midlands had double the infant mortality rate of the South East in 2015, at 6.1 deaths per 1,000 live births. For the whole population (age-standardised), Blackpool, Glasgow, Belfast and Blaenau Gwent had considerably higher death rates than areas like Monmouthshire and City of London. The ONS release accompanying the data notes: \"The substantial variation in mortality rates between different local areas reflects underlying differences in factors such as income deprivation, socio-economic position and health behaviour.\" The nation's statisticians are confirming the thrust of the Royal College report - that inequality is a key driver in health outcomes. Decline in earnings Income inequality on some measures has fallen in recent years in the UK. But this followed a sharp decline in earnings and investment returns for the wealthiest households after the financial crisis at a time when benefits for the poorest were being protected by government policies. Inequality is higher than it was in the 1970s and is still relatively high compared to other advanced economies. Real wages for much of the population have stagnated since the start of the recession in 2008. It has been described as a \"lost decade\" even by the governor of the Bank of England, Mark Carney. A recent ONS report on household inequality, noting the relative generosity of pensioner benefit increases compared to other parts of the population, stated: \"While retired households' incomes have soared in recent years, non-retired households still have less money, on average, than before the crash.\" While most people close to or at average income levels remain financially stretched and there are no signs of a significant reduction in the gap between rich and poor, health disparities will be hard to shift. The latest Royal College report and data are a wake-up call if one were needed.",

            "input": "By Henri AstierBBC News The president released a selfie video on Friday, saying he was feeling fine but his work had \"slowed down a little because of the virus\". Over the previous week President Macron attended a number of high-profile events, including an EU summit and a working dinner with political heavyweights at the Élysée Palace on Wednesday night. Many of the officials and foreign leaders he met have themselves begun self-isolating too. Mr Macron's office strongly denies claims that he acted recklessly. In his video he said he had caught the virus despite taking great care, through \"no doubt a moment of carelessness, a moment of bad luck too\". The president is no ordinary Covid patient. He may be shielding from other people, but he cannot shield from questions about his condition and the decisions he took. How did Macron get Covid? We can only guess. Given the incubation period, he may have become infected at a two-day meeting of European Council heads of state in Brussels on Thursday and Friday last week. Officials insist that the leaders observed social distancing during formal discussions and wore masks as they mingled. Mr Macron also says he has consistently maintained social distancing, worn a mask and regularly cleaned his hands with anti-bacterial gel. An EU diplomat told the Europe 1 website that if Mr Macron did contract the virus in Brussels, \"chances are he was contaminated by his own delegation\". On Monday, the French president went to a conference in Paris organised by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). Those who are now isolating following these meetings include European Council President Charles Michel, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, the OECD secretary-general, as well as prime ministers from Portugal, Belgium, Luxembourg and Ireland. French Prime Minister Jean Castex and parliamentary speaker Richard Ferrand are also self-isolating. How sick is Macron? In his video, the president said he was suffering from fatigue, headaches and a dry cough, like hundreds of thousands of others in France. After coming down with the symptoms on Thursday, he left the Élysée palace and is now self-isolating at La Lanterne, a presidential residence outside Paris. Despite his condition, he has held several meetings via-videoconferencing. He said he would continue to focus on \"priority\" issues such as the pandemic and Brexit and he would continue managing day-to-day affairs with the prime minister, the government and his teams. On Monday, Mr Macron is expected to chair the last cabinet meeting of the year. He is being looked after by a military doctor. Did he break his own Covid rules? Much of the criticism Mr Macron faces focuses on the dinner he hosted at the Élysée palace on Wednesday night. At least 10 senior aides and elected officials are thought to have taken part in the event - which reportedly lasted until about midnight. Under rules that had just come into force for the festive period, no more than six adults are allowed to gather, and everyone should be at home by 20:00. Some observers accuse the government of hypocrisy. One left-wing politician tweeted mischievously (in French): \"Where the heck are the police? An irresponsible person infected with Covid is hosting a dinner with more than 10 people.\" Officials say that this was no ordinary dinner but a working meeting. They stress that it was held in a vast reception room that can hold 700 people and that distancing rules were strictly adhered to. Affairs of state, the president's office adds, are not subject to the restrictions regulating private dinners. A Macron aide told the Europe 1 news website: \"If he had been reckless, he would have been contaminated much earlier.\" But centre-right newspaper owner Nicolas Beytout accuses the presidency of sending \"mixed messages\" and \"ignoring the most basic aspects of life under Covid\". Meanwhile, two activist groups - an association of coronavirus victims and a group of small businesses - have filed a complaint against President Macron for violating the curfew and \"endangering lives\". What happens if the president becomes incapacitated? Mr Macron, who is 41, is unlikely to be require hospital treatment - as US President Donald Trump and UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson did. But in the event that he should no longer be able to work, protocols are in place. Under the French Constitution, the speaker of the Senate becomes interim president. The position is currently held by conservative Gérard Larcher. The interim leader faces restrictions on his powers - for instance he or she cannot change the constitution. If the president dies in office or is permanently incapacitated, new elections must be held. This is what happened in 1969, when President de Gaulle stood down, and in 1974, when his successor Georges Pompidou died.",

She said she blamed herself for a sexual assault she had experienced aged 21 and was criticised when she said women \"have to take responsibility\". The Loose Women poll drew criticism on Twitter, with one viewer Rebecca Gill calling it \"off the scale of acceptability\". 'Ill-considered, insensitive and insulting' Rape Crisis for England and Wales tweeted that it was \"not an appropriate opinion poll; legally and morally the answer is a resounding 'no'\" and questioned whether the show would \"have a poll on whether it is ever someone's own fault if they are mugged or murdered?\" Katie Russell the national spokesperson for Rape Crisis England & Wales added: \"A programme like Loose Women could choose to use its high profile to raise awareness and understanding of rape, its impacts and prevalence, and to support and encourage survivors to seek services like those Rape Crisis offers; instead, they've reinforced myths and stereotypes with this ill-considered, insensitive and insulting poll.\" Peterborough Rape Crisis Care Group called the poll \"harmful to women\".

The South Korean company recently reported its strongest ever mobile phone figures. However, analysts are split over whether or not their latest innovation is a winner. The new device features a 5.2in (13.2cm) screen and is powered by Android. Its rear keys can be used to adjust its volume or - if pressed for a longer time - to activate the device's camera and note-taking software. LG suggests that using a back-button to take a self-portrait with the front camera also makes it easier to take a steady shot. \"Moving the main buttons to the back of the phone gave users more control since this place was where individuals' index fingers are naturally located,\" it said. \"Researchers also found that moving the buttons also resulted in fewer dropped phones when adjusting the volume while talking.\" LG overtook Huawei to become the world's third best-selling smartphone maker in the first three months of the year thanks to demand for its Nexus 4 and Optimus range, according to market research firm Gartner. One of its researchers suggested the move could indeed help address issues consumers have with the design of bigger mobiles. \"This is a potentially interesting concept for LG because as phones get larger, the position of the phone in the hand and how you use it is going to change,\" said analyst Brian Blau. \"Whether the button on the back proves to be a winner long-term has yet to be determined, but it deserves some amount of consideration.\" But another tech consultancy, Juniper Research, dislikes the concept. \"I'm not convinced that this represents a killer design,\" said analyst Michael Wiggins. \"The positioning of the navigation button doesn't appear to be particularly user-friendly, either, particularly if - given the size of the device - you're an individual with smaller hands. \"For a few more millimetres of screen, it's not a great trade-off.\" LG v Samsung LG announced that it shipped a record 12.1 million handsets over the April to June period. However, its mobile unit is not as profitable as that of Samsung or Apple because much of the demand was accounted for by its lower-margin mid-range devices. Coupled with an increased marketing budget and weak sales of its TVs, it meant the firm still posted a 9% drop in net income. At the time, So Hyun-chul, an analyst at Shinhan Investment Corp declared that LG needed a \"mega-hit smartphone to dramatically raise its profit\". The launch of the G2 was notable for being the first time LG has chosen to host a special event in the US to unveil a handset - something other manufactures Samsung, HTC and Nokia have become accustomed to. The new device's other stand-out features are a 13 megapixel camera with image stabilisation and 24 bit/192kHz audio playback, which LG claims can reproduce music at a quality that is \"far superior to a CD\". \"This is LG's top-tier play and from a specs point-of-view it looks good versus the Samsung Galaxy S4, which is the probably the nearest phone in the market,\" said Stuart Miles, founder of gadget review site Pocket-lint. \"It's now down to whether people believe strongly enough in the LG brand versus Samsung's when it comes to choosing which phone to go for. \"Ultimately I think LG has a chance, but Samsung may just end up steamrollering them with marketing.\" LG said the G2 would go on sale first in South Korea and then North America, Europe and other markets over the next eight weeks.",

            "input": "Anthony ZurcherNorth America reporter@awzurcheron Twitter Now Mr Trump has returned to Washington, where he faces the cold reality of a January filled with deadlines, hard decisions and an ever-lingering potential for missteps and bad news - a winter of peril for a presidency balanced on a knife's edge. With November mid-term elections looming, here are just a few of the major tasks that sit in the White House in-box as the new year gets under way. Budget blues From the people who brought you the impending budget showdown of 30 September, 8 December and 22 December, comes the exciting fourth instalment of this epic saga. Once again, legislators are faced with funding the federal government for the current fiscal year or risking a government shutdown. Every previous cliffhanger had ended with a decision to temporarily approve spending at the previous year's levels. The most recent extension ends on 19 January. Would Donald Trump win an election today? If they decide to continue along that path, it wouldn't be the first time in recent memory - but at some point legislators will want to put their mark on the federal government by rejigging how dollars are allocated. Mr Trump's much-touted border wall, increased defence spending, cuts to government programmes (once a headline-grabbing affair but now largely forgotten) and infrastructure investment are all up for grabs. In addition, Congress has to vote to raise previously mandated budget caps or an axe will fall on military and domestic spending alike. Bottom line: Congress has been kicking the can down the road like a legislative Lionel Messi. Will they finally take their shot? Immigration issues On 5 September Mr Trump started a countdown - what he termed an \"orderly wind down\" - to the termination of a programme that provided temporary normalised immigration status for hundreds of thousands of undocumented immigrants who were brought to the US as children. Some previously covered individuals began losing protections from the Obama-era measure, called Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (Daca), in December, with the number growing at a rate of more than 100 a day. It is unclear, however, if the Trump administration will make any special effort to target them for deportation. What is clear, however, is that the political pressure for some form of legislative Daca authorisation is increasing. In a tweet on 2 January, the president tried to assign blame for the impasse on his opponents, saying that Democrats are \"doing nothing\" and \"just interested in politics\", which he says will lead to increased Hispanic support for his party. Although it seems unlikely that Republicans will benefit from a crisis Mr Trump himself instigated, Democratic politicians have been targeted by pro-Daca protesters, who feel the party has been insufficiently aggressive in attempting to force a deal. The president has said he wants immigration reform and border-wall funding to be part of any Daca agreement, while Democrats have insisted on much narrower legislation. Someone will have to budge. Bottom line: Unless a deal is brokered soon, more and more Daca recipients will be forced back into the legal shadows, where they can't pursue proper jobs, financial security or educational opportunities. There could be political winners and losers in such a situation, but there is likely to be plenty of blame to go around. Healthcare headaches The Children's Health Insurance Program (Chip), which provides government-funded health insurance for 9 million US children from low-income families above the poverty line, has had broad bipartisan support since it was first enacted in 1997. In the past few months, however, it has been the centre of a political tug-of-war, as funding was set to expire without reauthorisation. Five things we learned from Donald Trump's Christmas holiday In late December, Congress allocated enough money to keep Chip afloat until March, but the states that manage the services want a permanent fix so they don't have to continue to make preparations for a budgetary crunch. Democrats are pushing for a straight-up reauthorisation, while Republicans seek to tie the bill to cuts in other government healthcare programmes. The arguments over Chip are nothing compared to the Obamacare repeal conflagrations, which show no signs of ending in 2018. In the recently passed tax reform bill, Republicans dealt a blow to the system by setting a January 2019 end to the mandate that all Americans have insurance or face a tax penalty. The provision was an Obamacare lynchpin, as it increased the number of healthy Americans in the insurance pool and prevented individuals from waiting to buy health insurance until they got sick. Democrats and some Republican moderates have been clamouring for a number of legislative provisions that will bring increased stability to the health-insurance marketplaces in 2018. Hard-line conservatives, on the other hand, seem content to chip away at the foundations until the whole thing collapses. Bottom line: Expect more healthcare fights in 2018, with poor children caught in the middle. Iranian intrigue Back in mid-October, Mr Trump - to great fanfare, including a high-profile White House statement - officially decertified Iran's compliance with the terms of the nuclear deal that Barack Obama and representatives of five other major world powers brokered in 2015. That set off a 60-day period during which Congress could, by majority vote, choose to re-impose sanctions on Iran. Congress chose to do … nothing. On 11 January, as mandated by the agreement, Mr Trump must once again decide whether to certify Iran's compliance. If the president again declines, the bite of such a move given recent congressional inaction will be greatly diminished. The president could choose to bypass Congress and re-impose sanctions on his own. Mid-January will mark the next once-every-three-month opportunity for him to end the current waivers suspending previous economic punishments. Given Mr Trump's sharp rhetoric in support of the recent Iranian protests, he may decide more dramatic action is warranted. Too heavy a US hand, however, could prompt the Iranian public to rally behind their government. Bottom line: In October the president said if Congress failed to \"reach a solution\" on Iran, he'd terminate the deal. Congressional inaction - and Iranian unrest - puts the president on the spot again. Trying times As if all this weren't enough, Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, which grants the US government sweeping powers to monitor communications without individualised court-issued warrants, is set to expire on 19 January. Congress passed a temporary extension of the measure in December, but civil libertarians on the left and right will make an effort to derail a lengthy reauthorisation. In December the House of Representatives approved an $81bn disaster relief bill, including funds for hurricane-ravaged Puerto Rico, but the Senate has yet to take action. Nearly half of Puerto Rican customers are still without power after Hurricane Maria hit the island in mid-September. Beyond these immediate concerns, the president and his fellow Republicans will have to settle on a legislative course for the coming months. They could try for a stand-alone infrastructure spending bill, which was one of Mr Trump's top campaign promises. The president could push for new trade legislation, such as a revised North America Free Trade Agreement (if such a thing ever emerges from negotiations with Mexico and Canada). Speaker of the House Paul Ryan has shown interest in making another run at reforming US social safety-net programmes. And, oh yeah, there's still that little matter of Robert Mueller's investigation into possible Trump campaign ties to Russia to account for. A metaphorical bombshell here - or real bombshells on the Korean Peninsula - could throw everything else into total disarray. The stakes are high, as the next few months will be the last chance for Republicans to make their mark before the US political world focuses squarely on the November mid-term elections. Every seat in the House of Representatives, a third of the US Senate and a gaggle of key state governorships will be up for grabs this year. Trump believes he will be treated 'fairly' Can Republicans maintain their unified control of the US government for another two years, or will Democrats regain control of at least one chamber of Congress, slamming the door on Mr Trump's more ambitious legislative goals? If the recent elections in Virginia, New Jersey and Alabama are any indication, it could be a rough ride for the incumbent party. Bottom line: The holidays are over. January is going to have all the excitement of the first year of the Trump presidency, condensed into one action-packed month.",

            "input": "By Sooraj ShahTechnology of Business reporter On 27 March, their petition was due in court. As lockdown had taken effect, telephone conferencing would be used instead of going to court. However, after the phone call, Ms Westra received an email from her solicitor explaining that the papers had not been served to the biological parents of the child. This continued every month after lockdown, as it wasn't possible for the papers to be physically served. \"It's farcical because one of them is the biological father who lives with the biological mother who has had her petition but the biological father hasn't and they live in the same premises,\" Ms Westra says. Serving papers has to be completed by post via Royal Mail or in some cases lawyers would instruct a process server to physically take the papers and hand them to the person. \"It sounds very archaic but if [the person] won't take them by hand, the processor can drop the papers near them and tell them what the document contains and that's technically counted as full service,\" says Rebecca Ranson, a solicitor for Maguire Family Law. Unless a judge approves it, emailing or any other forms of digital communication are not considered valid - even though the majority of people in the UK have access to email and the internet. It is this kind of process, in need of a digital upgrade, that is frustrating for Ms Westra. Ms Westra's case is one of many that have been delayed. The number of outstanding Crown court cases was 43,676 on 26 July, and the entire backlog across magistrates' and Crown courts is more than 560,000. The Commons Justice Committee has announced an inquiry into how these delays could be addressed. The reality, however, is that there was already a huge backlog back in December, and Covid-19 has just exacerbated an existing problem. Cases like Ms Westra's have been affected by the pandemic, but many lawyers believe that the legal system could have been better prepared through technology investment over the years. \"We've got people being held for longer than they otherwise would be, and for every person in custody waiting for trial or waiting on bail for trial, there are witnesses, and complainants and their families awaiting a resolution. Whether it's the lack of technology links in prison, using Skype and improvising or not having enough Nightingale courts - it all boils down to a lack of investment,\" says Joanna Hardy, a London-based barrister. More Technology of Business In 2016 HM Courts & Tribunals Service began a £1bn court reform programme. This included a video-conferencing tool called the Cloud Video Platform (CVP), which allows for a dedicated private conference area, so criminal lawyers can speak to their clients without visiting prison. A programme for testing and adopting video technology was planned out until 2022, but in the pandemic, the government had to get CVP up and running in 10 weeks. This has since been extended to civil courts. But this implementation has been challenging, as there are only a restricted number of physical video links allowed. \"As we weren't ready for this huge technological revolution no-one had manned the tech rooms or built enough rooms on the other end in the prison. We can have as many laptops as we like, as much software as we like but if we can't put a prisoner into a room with a screen, the other end is pointless,\" Ms Hardy says. According to Ms Hardy, the waiting times to get these slots have been \"completely unacceptable\", and it has meant that sometimes hearings had to go ahead without the defendant present. \"It's like human beings failing where technology could have bridged the gap,\" she says. A Ministry of Justice spokesperson said that it had offered more than 400 CVP meeting rooms since the outbreak of coronavirus, but added that it is taking steps to increase the available capacity of video conferencing at some locations by extending operating hours. The spokesperson said that the MoJ is also undertaking urgent action to increase the physical number of video link outlets at critical sites. At the moment, criminal trials are going ahead using social distancing - meaning sometimes a second courtroom is linked by technology, but this is creating further backlogs, as it means one case is occupying the same space as two. Justice, the all-party law reform and human rights organisation, has trialled a virtual jury trial with a mock case, and suggested it should be considered as a possible option, but this hasn't been taken on by the courts. The issue with virtual jury trials is whether or not they could affect the outcome of a trial. Some lawyers feel like juries should see a witness, feel an exhibit and dispense justice to a fellow human being in the confines of a court room. \"You can lose the impact of cross examination. When you're challenging their evidence in person it's easier to get them to trip up if they're not being honest, whereas if they're on video it might be easier for them to cover it up,\" says Jodie Hill, solicitor and managing director of Thrive Law, an employment law specialist. For smaller hearings, online alternatives could be here for the long term, as it means lawyers don't have to travel all over the UK unnecessarily. This doesn't mean that every hearing that can be done remotely, should be done remotely. \"We don't want overkill. We think some cases still need to be in the room, particularly if you're dealing with vulnerable people or sensitive cases. It has to be a balancing act of harnessing the benefits of technology and thinking about the specific case,\" says Ms Hardy.",

The BBC reported two cases where Cardinal Oswald Gracias was claimed to have failed to respond quickly or offer support to the victims. Cardinal Gracias, who is the Archbishop of Mumbai, is tipped by some as the next possible Pope. Victims and those who supported them allege that Cardinal Gracias did not take allegations of abuse seriously when they were reported to him. The Archdiocese of Mumbai sent the BBC a statement saying that, in the 2015 case of the alleged rape of a young boy by a parish priest in Mumbai, the cardinal had met the boy and his family when an appointment had been requested. \"The cardinal tried to console the parents. The cardinal was to leave for Rome that same night. After the complainants left, the cardinal at once phoned up [the accused priest] and informed him of the allegations made against him.\" The priest denied the allegations, but \"the cardinal removed him from office immediately and told him that he was not even allowed to celebrate Mass the next morning\", the statement says. The cardinal then asked a bishop \"to keep in touch with the family and start an inquiry\", and then left for Rome, it says. When he reached Rome, the cardinal phoned the bishop, who told him the family had subsequently informed the police themselves. Later on, the Church offered the family further help, but the family declined, the statement said. However, the cardinal understands their pain and remains ready to provide assistance. Cardinal Gracias is one of four men organising a major Vatican conference on child abuse this week. The issue of sexual abuse within the Church is being called the Vatican's biggest crisis in modern times, and the integrity of the Catholic Church is said to ride on the outcome of this conference. Over the past year, the Catholic Church has been reeling under multiple allegations of sexual abuse around the world. But while abuse claims have made headlines in North and South America, Europe and Australia, very little is known about the problems in Asian countries. In countries such as India there is a social stigma about reporting abuse. India's Catholics say there is a culture of fear and silence in the Catholic Church about sexual abuse by priests. Those who have dared to speak out say it has been an ordeal.",

Mr Zabel briefly wore the red campaign cap into his courtroom the day after the 2016 US presidential election. The Ontario Judicial Council received 81 complaints about his conduct. \"I'm not a Trump supporter,\" Mr Zabel told the four-person disciplinary panel looking into those complaints on Wednesday. \"I find it very difficult to find the words to express my profound regret for what I did that day.\" Mr Zabel described to the panel how he came to don the Donald Trump campaign hat in the Hamilton courtroom on 9 November in a fug of fatigue after staying up late to watch the results. He said he had ordered five of the caps online in June thinking it would be \"entertaining to have some historic memorabilia\" from the election. Mr Zabel, who appeared sombre and was wearing a charcoal pinstriped suit and patterned blue tie, described Mr Trump's win as \"an almost surreal experience\" and thought wearing the cap would \"add a little humour\" and \"lighten the proceedings\" in the courtroom that day. He walked in wearing the cap and then placed it on the dais until morning recess, when he returned it to his office. Returning to court briefly in the afternoon, an attorney quipped to him: \"You lost your hat\". He replied: \"Brief appearance for the hat. P***** off the rest of the judges because they all voted for Hillary. I was the only Trump supporter up there but that's OK\". A few days later, after the incident made headlines, he apologised in open court and said donning the hat was not meant as an endorsement of the US president's policies. Complainants, including the Women's Legal Education and Action Fund and 27 law professors from the University of Windsor - Mr Zabel's alma mater -say the veteran judged breached principles of impartiality and objectivity and broke rules regarding the prohibition on partisan political activity. Multiple complaints received by the council noted that the public apology he made on 15 November regarding his conduct was not consistent with the comment he made in court that afternoon about being a Trump supporter. Mr Zabel said it was a poorly worded comment about how he had come to believe that Mr Trump could win in the weeks before the election - a prediction his fellow judges did not share. On cross examination, presenting counsel Linda Rothstein pushed Mr Zabel on his choice of words on 9 November, noted the Trump hat could be tied to racism and bigotry, and asked whether he considered that many people felt devastated by the election results. \"I wasn't thinking it through,\" Mr Zabel conceded. Mr Zabel also received 62 character references and letters from colleagues and others expressing their support for the judge and praising his integrity. Ontario court justice Marjoh Agro appeared as a character witness for her colleague on Wednesday. \"I remember that day well because quite frankly I deeply regret not ripping that hat off his head,\" she said. Mr Zabel stopped being assigned cases on 21 December, which Ms Agro said has caused \"a lot of disruption\" at the courthouse and has strained resources. She said she retains confidence in him as a judge. \"I didn't have concerns then and I don't have them now, other than the misjudgement of wearing a stupid hat into court,\" she said. The Ontario Judicial Council investigates complaints about the conduct of provincially appointed judges. Mr Zabel faces a number of possible sanctions, including being issued a warning or reprimand and suspension. The panel could also recommend to the attorney general that the judge be removed from office. The disciplinary panel reserved judgment on Wednesday.",

A total of 59 coronavirus cases have been confirmed in the US, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). Meanwhile South Korea, which has the highest number of cases outside China, mobilised the army on Saturday. Soldiers are disinfecting large parts of Daegu, the south-eastern city that has been at the centre of the country's coronavirus outbreak. South Korea on Saturday reported a sharp rise in the number of cases of the Covid-19 disease. It now stands at 3,150. The respiratory illness has killed 17 people in the country so far. What is happening in the US? On Friday health officials in California's Santa Clara County said an older woman with chronic health conditions had been diagnosed with Covid-19. Officials say she is not known to have travelled to a country badly affected by the virus or been in contact with a person who had. \"This new case indicates that there is evidence of community transmission but the extent is still not clear,\" said Dr Sara Cody, director of the Santa Clara County Public Health Department. Oregon health officials said a school employee in Clackamas County had tested positive for the virus. In Washington State, authorities said another case concerned a high school student in Snohomish County. Neither had any contact with a known case nor any history of travel to an affected region. These bring the total of unexplained cases in the country to four, after another such case was reported in California on Tuesday. The Democratic Party has criticised President Donald Trump's response to the outbreak, arguing that he has contradicted his own health officials and tried to downplay the severity of the virus. On Friday, the president hit back at Democrats, accusing them of politicising the outbreak. \"This is their new hoax,\" he told a rally in South Carolina. He accused Democrats of advocating a policy of open borders and said this was \"a direct threat to the health and wellbeing of all Americans\". Are those the first untraced cases? No. Earlier this week a patient who had no known connection with an affected region died in France. On Friday, a patient diagnosed with the virus in England was said to be the first to catch it in the UK. The latest developments came as the WHO on Friday upgraded the global risk of the outbreak to its highest level. But the UN body said there was still a chance of containing the virus if its chain of transmission was broken. WHO head Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus also stressed that fear and misinformation were the biggest challenges to overcome. \"Our greatest enemy right now is not the #coronavirus itself. It's fear, rumours and stigma. And our greatest assets are facts, reason and solidarity,\" he wrote on Twitter. What's happening in South Korea? The spread of the virus there has been linked to the fringe Christian group Shincheonji Church. Authorities believe members infected one another during services in Daegu and then fanned out around the country, apparently undetected. South Korean health officials believe that a 61-year-old member of the sect who last week tested positive for the virus was among the first to be infected. The female patient initially refused to be transferred to a hospital to be tested and is known to have attended several church gatherings before testing positive. Officials warned on Saturday that they a expect a large number of new coronavirus cases to be reported in Daego as authorities carry out intensive tests on followers of the Shincheonji Church there, according to Yonhap news agency. As of Saturday morning, members of the church accounted for about half of the cases in the country. In neighbouring North Korea, leader Kim Jong-un has warned of \"serious consequences\" if his officials fail to prevent an outbreak. What other developments have there been?

While many smokers know the damage tobacco does to their hearts and lungs, they are much less likely to be aware of how harmful it can be to other parts of the body, says PHE. Cigarettes can damage the bones, muscles, brain, teeth and eyes. Current smokers are at double the risk of Alzheimer's disease, for example. Chief Medical Officer Dame Sally Davies says the adverts have been designed to shock and educate, but smoking groups branded the campaign as poisonous. Stop the rot The campaign also tackles common misconceptions around hand-rolled tobacco, or roll-ups. Many smokers mistakenly believe that they are safer than conventional cigarettes, says PHE. But evidence suggests hand-rolled cigarettes are at least as hazardous as any other type of cigarette. Yet their popularity is growing. In 1990, 18% of male smokers and 2% of female smokers said they smoked mainly hand-rolled cigarettes. By 2013 this had risen to 40% for men and 23% for women. Prof Kevin Fenton, National Director for Health and Wellbeing for PHE, said: \"Much of the harm caused by smoking doesn't become obvious until middle age but the invisible damage can start shockingly early - even by the late teens. \"The earlier a smoker quits the better, but quitting at any age can help reverse at least some of the damage. That's why there is no time better than now to quit. Stop smoking and stop the rot.\" Dame Sally said: \"I think people know about the big killers - cancer, heart disease and stroke - but I don't think they realise about osteoporosis and I didn't know about fertility. \"And the doubling the likelihood of cognitive decline and Alzheimer's, I think is quite scary.\" Simon Clark, director of the tobacco lobby group Forest, said: \"Campaigns like this are an abuse of public money. Education has been replaced by shrill scaremongering that is often counter-productive because it's human nature to switch off when you're being nagged or shouted at on an almost daily basis.\"",

Plans for a new \"super-prison\" in Port Talbot were withdrawn after strong local objections. Mr Buckland said he was also \"very interested\" in developing a women's centre in Wales. The five prisons currently in Wales - HMP Berwyn, HMP Cardiff, HMP Parc, HMP Swansea, and HMP Usk/Prescoed - are all for men. Speaking to the BBC's Politics Wales programme, Mr Buckland accepted there was a \"problem\" with female prisoners from Wales having to serve sentences in England but said he had to balance the idea of a women's centre \"against all the other competing priorities\". Last summer, Boris Johnson announced plans to create 10,000 new prison places in Wales and England. Mr Buckland, the second Llanelli-born Lord Chancellor after Lord Elwyn Jones (1974-1979), said he \"would love\" an extra Welsh prison to be part of the programme. A new category C super-prison for up to 1,600 prisoners was planned for Port Talbot before UK ministers withdrew the plan after strong local opposition. Asked if the UK Government still had plans for a similarly-sized facility, Mr Buckland said: \"We still want to build an extra prison in Wales. \"I'm not so much interested in the glib titles, I want to make sure that we have a facility that is the right size and the right model, and that actually delivers purposeful prison activity. \"I'm not going to commit myself to a particular size prison now. \"What I do commit to is a real concern about the fact that I think having an extra prison in Wales would be good for the local population. \"I've got to get on with that apace. I want to deliver it by the middle of the decade, so my officials will do whatever they can to identify sites in England and Wales that fit the bill, and that can deliver those extra places,\" he added. Research published by Cardiff University's Wales Governance Centre in January 2019 claimed Wales has the highest imprisonment rate in western Europe. 'Obsessing' Mr Buckland also signalled opposition to transferring full control of the justice system in Wales to the Welsh Government. A commission chaired by Lord Thomas of Cwmgiedd called for the devolution of policing and prisons because people in Wales are \"let down by the system in its current state\". Mr Buckland, the Conservative MP for South Swindon, said: \"I think the question you've got to ask yourself is 'what is the outcome?' \"It's all very well obsessing about process, working out which desk is going to be responsible for what. \"What is more important I think from the point of view of residents is outcomes.\" \"Making our streets in Wales safer, I find that's what the public would expect me and the home secretary and the prime minister to be concentrating on, rather than worrying about who holds the pen,\" he added. A Plaid Cymru debate called for the devolution of criminal justice at the Senedd on Wednesday. \"For a fraction of the amount that we are spending keeping people in prison we could invest in a really good quality probation service,\" said Leanne Wood, Plaid AM for Rhondda, in an interview on BBC Radio Wales' Sunday Supplement. Her comments come after a coroner at Conner Marshall's inquest criticised the probation service's \"woefully inadequate\" management of a case worker supervising a man who beat the 18-year-old to death. \"These are the things that we need to tackle,\" said Ms Wood. \"They are not being tackled at the moment and we could tackle them if devolution of criminal justice was seen through.\" After Friday's inquest, the National Probation Service in Wales said it had taken responsibility for managing all offenders on licence in Wales from the Community Rehabilitation Company.",

Reynolds was honoured for her achievements as an actor, singer, dancer and for her efforts to preserve film history. She was also recognised for her humanitarian work, which includes a charity to help fight the stigma of mental illness. The actress thanked her fans and friends before making a joke about her \"wonderful hairdo\" in Singin' In The Rain. \"Some of you may not remember this but I had a bun.

Thank you, George,\" Reynolds joked. Reynolds started her career in 1948 after being spotted at a beauty pageant aged 16 years old. Her screen debut came when she starred alongside Fred Astaire in the 1950 musical Three Little Words. Reynolds went on to have her big break in the 1952 classic Singin' in the Rain, with Gene Kelly. Reynolds earned a best actress Oscar nomination for the 1964 musical The Unsinkable Molly Brown, starring alongside the late Harve Presnell, and a Tony Award nomination for the 1973 Broadway revival of musical Irene. Her most recent role was as late pianist Liberace's mother in the 2013 biopic Behind the Candelabra.

Mr Cameron said the country was \"sickened\" that a Briton could have carried out the \"despicable\" killing. \"We cannot just walk on by if we are to keep this country safe,\" he said. \"Step by step, we must drive back, dismantle and ultimately destroy Isil and what it stands for. \"We will not do so on our own, but with working with our allies, not just in the United States and in Europe, but also in the region.\" He said the organisation posed a \"massive threat\" to the entire Middle East and said it would be defeated through a \"comprehensive and sustained counter-terrorism strategy\". He added: \"This is not about British combat troops on the ground. It is about working with others to extinguish this terrorist threat.\" US officials later said several Arab countries had offered to take part in air strikes against IS militants in Iraq - subject to approval from the Iraqi government. US Secretary of State John Kerry - speaking in Paris after a whirlwind tour of the Middle East trying to drum up support for action against IS - said he was \"extremely encouraged\" by such promises. 'Incredibly kind man' By Catrin Nye, BBC Asian Network I met Alan Henning - before he was kidnapped - when he was packing up for an aid convoy in Syria. At this point, he had already travelled to Syria on one convoy. He described the fact that he had been before, he had visited a refugee camp, and had a really quite life-changing experience It had really touched him and he said ever since he had got back things hadn't quite been the same and he felt a real desire to go again and to help the Syrian people. Those who knew and met Alan describe him as a funny and incredibly kind man. Just an ordinary bloke - a father, a taxi driver and a keen fisherman who wanted to help the Syrians. During his statement, Mr Cameron outlined steps that Britain would take against IS: He also said IS extremists \"have planned, and continue to plan, attacks across Europe and in our country\", adding that it would take time to \"eradicate a threat like this\" and would require action at home and abroad. \"It falls to the government and to each and every one of us to drain this poison from our society and to take on this warped ideology that is radicalising some of our young people,\" he said. Mr Cameron has previously not ruled out air strikes against IS but said any action must not be \"Western intervention over the heads of neighbouring states\". BBC security correspondent Frank Gardner says several British prime ministers have pledged to bring the killers of a British hostage to justice whenever they are murdered in \"cold blood\" by jihadists. But the reality is that historically the trail tends to go cold very soon afterwards, he added. Mr Haines was seized in Syria in 2013. He was being held by Islamic State militants who had already killed two US captives, and a video of his death came shortly after his family appealed to his captors to make contact with them. Born in Holderness, East Yorkshire, Mr Haines went to school in Perth and had been living in Croatia with his second wife, who is Croatian, and their four-year-old daughter. His parents live in Ayr. The video of the 44-year-old's beheading was released on Saturday night. Analysis Frank Gardner, BBC security correspondent Strip away the ghoulish theatre of this latest beheading video from the so-called Islamic State and one thing emerges very clearly. The jihadists of IS are angry and frustrated that their earlier blitzkrieg advance across Iraq has been stopped in its tracks, and even reversed in places, thanks to US air strikes and arms supplies rushed to the Kurds. Incapable to date of shooting down America's F/A18 jets, this is the group's way of hitting back at a distant enemy through the medium of public information. David Cameron, to whom much of the video is addressed, has had 3 choices: 1) back away from confronting IS, which he has ruled out, 2) continue as before, giving arms, ammunition and training to the Kurds to fight IS, and 3) step up the UK role, which now looks inevitable. Mr Haines' brother, Mike, who paid tribute to his brother after the death was confirmed, later made a further statement. He said: \" We agree with the government in that Isil are extremely dangerous and pose a threat to every nation, every religion, every politics, every person,\" he said. \"We need as a society to look and how we deal with this problem.\" Byron Pacula, of Mr Haines's employers the Agency for Technical Cooperation and Development (Acted), said: \"Acted is deeply appalled and horrified by the assassination of David Haines. \"We strongly condemn with the utmost of force those crimes that have happened against David.\" The charity said the killing raised questions about how it could continue its work. US President Barack Obama was among the world leaders to react to the killing of Mr Haines. He said: \"Our hearts go out to the family of Mr Haines and to the people of the United Kingdom.\" Mr Obama said the US would work with the UK and a \"broad coalition of nations\" to \"bring the perpetrators of this outrageous act to justice\". Militants from IS have killed two US hostages in recent weeks, posting videos on the internet. They had threatened to kill Mr Haines during a video posted online showing the killing of US journalist Steven Sotloff earlier this month. They also released a video of the killing of US journalist James Foley last month. The extremist group is now in control of large parts of northern Iraq and Syria and Kurdish forces, known as the Peshmerga, have been involved in heavy fighting with the militants. US air strikes have targeted IS militants in Iraq in recent weeks. The UK has donated heavy machine guns and ammunition to authorities in Iraq to help fight IS militants.",

'Try even harder' The Local Democracy Reporting Service said Mr Jones, who represents Rainford, opposed the inclusion of agricultural land near Higher Lane in the village. He told the council meeting on Wednesday that the farmer who uses the land would need to look for an alternative site if development went ahead. \"This could make the whole operation uneconomical and they would have to close, with a loss of 98 jobs,\" he said.

The winner will be revealed in January, but until then, what do we know about this young crooner? He has been compared to a long list of greats Sam Smith is one, but Amy Winehouse is another. Joesef is proud to be in that company and get the nod from talented people. \"I feel like it's a massive heads-up I am doing something right,\" he said. \"I still feel very new to this. but to get that kind of recognition this early on must be a good thing.\" He credits his mum for his musical talents He told BBC Scotland's Good Morning Scotland programme: \"Al Green and The Cure, The Mamas and the Papas, a big melting pot. I was brought up surrounded by music constantly. My mum always played tunes in the background, there was always the radio or records playing. I don't really come from a musical family but I owe my musical influences to that. He sold out King Tut's for his first gig Joesef only started performing his music at the start of 2019. His manager thought it would be hilarious to sell-out famous Glasgow live venue King Tut's for the first gig. He did. Joesef said: \"At the time I didn't even know the way to King Tut's. I wasn't that bothered by it until afterwards when I realised it was quite a prestigious venue. \"I have no frame of reference. I never did this before and I have no pals that have done this.

People thought he was a woman People discovered his music before they knew who he was.

But countries such as China, US, Sweden and Portugal are not, meaning arrivals from those have to isolate for 14 days. Scotland and Wales are yet to decide whether to ease travel restrictions and described the changes as \"shambolic\". The quarantine rules will also remain in place in Northern Ireland for visitors arriving from outside of the UK and Republic of Ireland. The restrictions came into place in early June in a bid to stop coronavirus entering the country as the number of cases was falling. Speaking at the Downing Street press briefing, Prime Minister Boris Johnson said: \"Instead of quarantining arrivals from the whole world, we will only quarantine arrivals from those countries where the virus is sadly not under control.\" People travelling from the 59 places and 14 British overseas territories on the list will not have to quarantine on arrival in England unless they have travelled through a place which is not exempt. Passengers will still be required to provide contact information on arrival in England. Some of those on the list include popular short-haul destinations such as Turkey and Cyprus, as well as long-haul locations including Australia, Barbados, Hong Kong, Japan, New Zealand and Vietnam. However, some countries will require visitors to isolate on arrival or will bar them from entering at all, such as New Zealand. The Foreign Office is expected to update its travel guidance on Saturday, including naming which countries will have a reciprocal arrangement with the UK and not require British visitors to quarantine on arrival. A list of countries which will be exempt from the Foreign Office's advice against \"all but essential travel\" from Saturday has also been published. The advice has been lifted for Portugal but only for the Azores and Madeira. Portugal's Foreign Minister Augusto Santos Silva told BBC Radio 4's PM programme: \"We are very disappointed with the decision of the British authorities. We think it is senseless and unfair. \"It is quite absurd the UK has seven times more cases of Covid-19 than Portugal so we think this is not the way in which allies and friends are treated.\" His prime minister, António Costa, tweeted comparing the UK's number of coronavirus cases with that of the Algarve, a popular holiday destination, saying: \"You are welcome to spend a safe holiday in the Algarve.\" The government said information for travel into Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland will be published in due course by the devolved administrations. Transport Secretary Grant Shapps said finalising the list of countries had been delayed - after scrapping the quarantine was announced last week - in the hope that the four UK nations could reach a joint decision. He said there was \"still an opportunity\" for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland to co-ordinate and therefore make the changes more simple. But the first ministers of both Scotland and Wales have criticised the government, with Nicola Sturgeon saying Scotland could not be dragged along by the UK government's \"shambolic decision making\". Welsh First Minister Mark Drakeford said the approach had been \"utterly shambolic\". However, he added it was likely the Welsh government would impose the same measures as in England, provided the chief medical officer for Wales gave approval. Mr Johnson said in a televised coronavirus briefing from Downing Street that the nations of the UK were following \"very similar paths but at different speeds\". Asked if a family from Scotland could drive to England and fly out and back from an overseas country to get around different quarantine rules the prime minister said that while he knew the devolved administrations in Scotland and Wales had a \"slightly different take\" on it the \"convoy is very much going in the same direction\". \"I'm sure we'll get there together and common sense will apply.\" The introduction of the quarantine on 8 June was met with criticism from the travel, tourism and hospitality industries and the easing of restrictions on arrivals from some countries has been welcomed. A statement on behalf of airlines Ryanair, easyJet and British Airways said the move to quarantine people had been \"irrational\" and had seriously damaged the economy and industry. It added the carriers wanted clarification on how countries included on the lists were selected. Tim Alderslade, chief executive of industry body Airline UK, said the lists gave \"a clear path to opening further predominantly long-haul destinations in the weeks ahead\". TUI UK and Ireland managing director Andrew Flintham said the company was pleased the government had confirmed \"summer holidays are saved\" and said it was a \"significant step forward\" for the industry. The chief executive of Booking Holdings, which owns the brands Booking.com and Kayak.com, called for a coordinated effort from governments around the world to set out principles as to why someone can travel from one country to another. Glenn Fogel told BBC World News current measures were \"totally chaotic\" but he welcomed England's announcement saying the UK is \"an important part of the global tourism industry\". VisitBritain director Patricia Yates said the lifting of travel restrictions for some of the \"largest and most valuable visitor markets\" was a \"timely boost\" for the industry. Pilots union, the British Airline Pilots Association, said it was an important first step and said it was working with authorities to make sure the return to operations would be safe for pilots, passengers and crew. An Association of British Travel Agents (ABTA) spokeswoman said there was likely to be a strong demand for holidays and it was important people considered how this might affect their plans. \"It is especially important that customers also check the latest Foreign Office travel advice before booking, to establish if there are entry restrictions or self-isolation procedures on arrival, or any other measures they need to comply with, in the destination they are planning to visit,\" she said.

The Co-op has recently launched a number of affordable products, including a cremation without ceremony product, which Steve Murrells says is already proving popular. \"One in 30 of our funerals are already being taken up in that form,\" he said. However, speaking to BBC Radio 5 live's Wake Up To Money Boardroom Stories podcast he said that changes were needed. \"For too long the industry kept putting prices up. People felt obliged to spend it - they kind of felt it represented the importance of that person's life.\" He said that 12 to 18 months ago \"I felt we needed to make funerals more affordable for people at a time of austerity and of sorrow\". He added that attitudes to funerals are also different: \"People's interpretation at the saddest point is changing, from one of grief to celebration.\" 'Crazy' The average cremation fee was £737 last year, with the fees having risen by 84% in the past 10 years. The CMA found that people typically spent between £3,000 and £5,000 organising a funeral, with the average price of the core elements now standing at £4,271. Mr Murrells said the Co-op had been pushing for an investigation. \"We think this market needs regulation. This is a caring market that needs to provide the best service at the most difficult of circumstances,\" he said. \"You or I could open up a funeral business tomorrow with no qualifications or regulation. It's crazy.\" People arranging a funeral could save more than £1,000 by shopping around for a funeral, the CMA said. However, the regulator pointed out that grieving families would be distressed and not in a position to do so. Most prices were not available or clear online, it added. The CMA also said that smaller funeral directors had tried to keep the costs low, but that larger chains had consistently increased prices. Mr Murrells said: \"I can't put right the way the market ran itself in the past. It's important for us to lead in this space now though, because it's the right thing to do.

            "input": "By Dickens OleweBBC News Most Africans connecting to the internet today are likely to be using a Chinese smartphone, powered by a Chinese-built network, and at least half of the time, it was built by Chinese tech giant, Huawei. \"Huawei built huge swathes of Africa's current IT infrastructure and if the US is successful in crippling the company, the aftershocks could be very painful for Africa's burgeoning tech sector that now relies on a company in Washington's crosshairs,\" Eric Olander, from the South Africa-based China Africa project, says. US President Donald Trump has been leading a public campaign urging American allies to cut ties with Huawei, saying the company's technology, among other things, was a security risk because it allowed the Chinese government to spy. The company has repeatedly denied the claims. The US campaign could spark what Eric Schmidt, Google's former CEO, predicted would be the inevitable bifurcation of the internet, between a \"Chinese-led internet and a non-Chinese internet led by America\". If this happens, Africa should not take sides, Harriet Kariuki, a Sino-African relations specialist, told the BBC. \"It's not our battle, we should instead focus on what works for us,\" she said. African countries should instead come together to educate people about what is at stake, and hopefully agree on an EU-type data protection law to protect African consumers, Ms Kariuki said. \"This is probably the time Africa considers developing its own technologies relevant to its market instead of being passive consumers. I want to see African countries come together and push back against this creeping digital colonisation,\" she told the BBC. 'The African Union hack' While the recent concern about Huawei has been focused on communications networks in the West, there are also allegations of a previous security breach in Africa. Critics of Huawei operations point to a report in January 2018 in French newspaper Le Monde that found that the computer system at the African Union headquarters in Ethiopia's capital, Addis Ababa, most of which was installed by Huawei, had allegedly been compromised. The discovery found that for five years, between the hours of midnight and 0200, data from the AU's servers was transferred more than 8,000km away - to servers in Shanghai. The allegations were denied by the African Union and Chinese officials. African governments, even those with close security relationships with the US, have mostly sat out of the debate about Huawei - and the reasons are obvious. Huawei runs a vast operation in Africa including being a major seller of smartphones. It has built most of Africa's 4G internet network, Cobus van Staden, a Senior China-Africa researcher at the South African Institute of International Affairs, told the BBC. The CEO of Kenya's telecom giant Safaricom Bob Collymore said Huawei had been a \"great partner for many years\". \"We would like to stick with our partners as much as we can, however there can be some practical difficulties if the embargo is on American companies working with Huawei because it is an interconnected business,\" he said in a recent speech. About Huawei in Africa: Sources: Australian Strategic Policy Institute, Huawei, IDC The company, which opened its first office in Africa in 1998, is also in pole position to win contracts to roll out 5G network on the continent. The super-fast network is touted as the internet iteration that will power \"Internet of Things\" technologies, smart cities, autonomous vehicles, and more. \"The scaling of Huawei's presence on the continent has been made possible by being the first company to exploit the potential of the IT economy in Africa, and having the wherewithal to support its projects,\" Mr Van Staden said. \"China's tied-aid conditions that requires African governments to work with Chinese companies, has also helped it,\" he added. You may also be interested in: According to technology research firm IDC, Huawei is currently the fourth biggest smartphone seller in Africa, behind another Chinese company, Transsion, which makes the Tecno and Infinix brands, and Samsung. All four brands currently use Google's Android operating system. Huawei's dominance and its relationship with governments in Africa could come in handy if the so-called tech cold war between China and the US threatens its African operations. \"Africa is the last tech market in the world and dominance in it would be key,\" Mr Van Staden said. \"Some people, like here in South Africa, where Huawei is a major player, are worried about being locked out of the Google ecosystem but Huawei could use the current situation to change the game\". \"Few US companies know how to work in the African market, to make relevant products for consumers on the continent. Huawei, could use the current situation to change the calculus and develop softwares in languages that truly serves the African market,\" Mr van Staden said. Most Africans are online today thanks to cheap Chinese phones and many are more concerned about the price of the gadgets and other features - like a dual SIM-card phone, and long battery life - than an operating system, he added. US internet vs China internet Iginio Gagliardone, author of China Africa and the Future of the Internet, agreed that the ongoing tussle between China and the US could just be what pushes Huawei to increase the use of its own software to support its burgeoning smartphone market. But he told the BBC it wouldn't be cheap or easy to build this capacity. It would also be difficult to export the closed internet model from China, which would mean requiring customers to use Baidu rather than Google and Sina Weibo instead of Twitter. However, WeChat, a multipurpose app that combines social media platforms, messaging and mobile payments, could take off in Africa. So will Africa be forced to make a choice? \"African countries should not choose a side, in fact it would be interesting if during this tech cold war it could form a non-aligned movement that looks after its interests,\" Mr Gagliardone said. His research, despite suspicion, has not found any evidence that China has been actively urging countries in Africa to adopt its censored version of the internet. \"What you see is that China is providing products that have been requested by African governments,\" Mr Gagliardone said. However, Mr Gagliardone thinks that China, in its push to protect its businesses, could leverage its relationship with African governments to develop protocols that give its companies an advantage over the West. \"I, however, don't see the consumer market being affected, I still see consumers continue to have access to different products to choose from,\" he said. The ensuing tech cold war is an opportunity and the continent should not be forced to pick a side, according to Ms Kariuki. However, according to Fazlin Fransman, from South Africa's Moja Research Institute, \"the current internet and technology boom [in Africa] is in significant part because of the investment of Chinese tech companies. Africa, in her view, has already picked a side, and it is China.",

It came as a new Welsh stroke research network was announced. The Welsh Government said \"good progress\" was being made on stroke care. BHF Cymru said the reduction in fatal strokes in Wales demonstrated the advances already made but also estimated 13 people per day still suffered a stroke in Wales. 'Save more lives' Prof Nilesh Samani, medical director at BHF, said: \"There are 66,000 people living in Wales with the cruel and debilitating after-effects of this devastating disease. \"Although some exciting new developments have been made in stroke treatment, the options at our disposal for treating stroke patients are still far too limited. \"We urgently need to fund more research to better understand the causes of strokes so that we can prevent them occurring and develop new treatments for all types of stroke in order to save more lives.\" The charity said research was \"fundamental\" to potential new treatments for the two types of stroke - ischaemic and haemorrhagic. It welcomed the announcement that a Cross-Wales Stroke Research and Innovation Network would be created. It will be hosted by Cardiff Metropolitan University. The network will include members of Wales' Stroke Implementation Group (SIG), which was developed to deliver the Welsh Government's five-year strategy on stroke. Prof Philip James, associate dean for research at the School of Health Sciences at the university, helped to create it. He said: \"Our aim is to create and sustain a collaborative, robust research infrastructure in Wales and help facilitate world-leading research and innovation in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of stroke, thus saving lives and ultimately reducing the debilitating impact on stroke patients.\" The network will be launched in the autumn. Ana Palazon, director for the Stroke Association in Wales, said investing funds into \"world-class research\" was key to reducing the condition's \"devastating impact\". A Welsh Government spokeswoman said: \"More people are surviving strokes, with 22% fewer deaths from strokes since 2010, and staff skills and expertise is continually improving. \"To support these ongoing improvements a Stroke Implementation Group was formed in 2013 to provide national leadership and support for the delivery of effective person-centred stroke care in Wales.\"",

But she would be pushing against interests that touch UK football, members of the House of Lords, and valuable assets owned by UK companies. Those assets include BP's 20% stake in Russian oil and gas giant Rosneft. That's worth repeating - a FTSE 100 company owns a fifth of Russia's most valuable company, which is state controlled. BP's chief executive Bob Dudley sits on a board that is chaired by close Putin-associate Igor Sechin. So far, the two companies have managed to find a way to carry on business despite sanctions imposed after Russia's annexation of Crimea. Mr Dudley often has to leave the room during board meetings when matters pertaining personally to Mr Sechin arise as he is on a list of sanctioned persons. If sanctions get tougher - how will BP manage an asset that provides a third of its global oil production? So far the stock market has not moved to apply a discount to BP's holding, and sources close to the company have said they hope that any sanctions would target individuals rather than important foreign assets. But if the gloves really come off, what action would Russia take? A former executive of a telecoms company with a Russian subsidiary told me just how difficult Russia can make life. After the invasion of Crimea, Russia told the company to change all the phone numbers in Crimea to give them a Russian rather than Ukrainian prefix. Failure to do so would result in their licence to operate being suspended. The London Stock Exchange recently accepted a listing from EN+, a metals company controlled by Oleg Deripaska, who you may remember was courted by both Lord Mandelson and former Chancellor George Osborne aboard his yacht. Now Mr Deripaska is not on the sanctioned persons list but - as I reported in November last year - the proceeds of the London share sale were used to pay down his debt to sanctioned Russian bank VTB. The ties go deeper. Greg (Lord) Barker, former Energy Minister under David Cameron, is the non-executive chairman of EN+. There is nothing illegal or sanctions-busting in that, but it serves an illustrative tip of the iceberg of the huge amounts of work that UK advisers, lawyers and bankers derive from advising Russian customers located here and in Russia. Property deals Messrs Usmanov and Abramovich have taken a chunk of the hallowed turf of the Emirates (Arsenal) and Stamford Bridge (Chelsea) and have operated perfectly legally here. But both are on good terms with Vladimir Putin. If the way to hurt Putin is to hurt his friends, how far is the UK prepared to go? Is it ready to send a message that Russian money and business is not welcome in the UK just as Brexit looms. After expelling diplomats, one way for the UK to retaliate is to target Russian's huge UK property holdings. The Criminal Finance Act could be used to look more deeply into how the money used to buy premium London property was acquired. It is unlikely there will be widespread sympathy for the estate agents who make their money flogging penthouses to oligarchs, but Russian business has become an important fact of UK public life and the government may find it hard to target any new sanctions precisely enough not to deter valuable, legal business. There are other options - such as boycotting football's World Cup - but how many other countries would follow suit? Europe is also much more dependent on supplies of Russian gas than the UK. With Donald Trump pursuing a protectionist trade policy and with his hands full in North Korea, Theresa May's biggest test may be the amount of international support she can command.",

He was speaking at a US Congressional hearing into the two fatal crashes. The movie \"Sully\" is about his landing of a passenger jet on a New York river. He told the committee: \"I'm one of a relatively small group of people who have experienced such a crisis and lived to share what we learned about it. \"I can tell you first hand that the startle-factor is real, and it's huge. And it absolutely and it quickly interferes with one's ability to quickly analyse the crisis and take effective action. \"Within seconds, these crews would have been fighting for their lives in the fight of their lives.\" Preliminary reports into both accidents have suggested the disasters were triggered by a flight control override system deploying at the wrong time, due to a faulty sensor. Last month, Congressman Sam Graves argued that \"facts in the preliminary report reveal pilot error as a factor\". But on Wednesday, Mr Sullenberger strongly rejected the suggestion. While everyone has a duty to keep passengers and crew safe, he said, \"first, we should design aircraft for them to crew that do not have inadvertent traps set for them\". The failure of single sensor reading \"quickly caused multiple instrument indication anomalies and sudden loud, and in some cases false warnings, creating major distractions... making it harder to quickly analyse the situation and take effective corrective action.\" He recently went through the cockpit scenario in a Max simulator and said that even knowing what was going to happen, \"I could see how crews would have run out of time before they could have solved the problem\". The US Federal Aviation Authority has been criticised for its lack of oversight and the certification process that cleared the Max to fly. All Boeing 737 Max planes were grounded in March after an Ethiopian Airlines flight crashed, killing 157 people. Five months earlier, 189 people were killed when a Boeing 737 Max operated by Lion Air crashed. Mr Sullenberger said there was a multiple chain of events that caused the two crashes. But he added that the chain \"began many years ago with the decision to upgrade a half-century old design\". \"These crashes are demonstrable evidence that our current system of design and certification has failed us,\" he told the committee. Boeing is working with regulators to get the Max back in the air as soon as possible. But Mr Sullenberger said he did not expect accident investigators to complete their work for many months, putting a question mark over whether the aircraft can resume flights before the end of the year. He called for better pilot training before 737 Max is cleared to fly, saying that just reviewing Boeing's modifications to the aircraft on a computer was insufficient. \"Pilots must develop the muscle memory to be able to quickly and effectively respond to a sudden emergency,\" Mr Sullenberger told the House of Representatives subcommittee hearing. \"Reading about it on an iPad is not even close to sufficient; pilots must experience it physically, firsthand,\" he said. The hearing was the third by Congress into the crashes, and again focused on the Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System (MCAS). In both Max crashes, the MCAS pointed the plane sharply downward based on a faulty sensor reading, hindering the pilots' effort to control the aircraft after takeoff.",

Six police officers were in and around her apartment at the time of her fall. Her death triggered large anti-police and anti-racism protests in Toronto and other parts of Canada. On Wednesday, the Canadian province of Ontario's Special Investigation Unit (SIU) released the results of an investigation into the high-profile case, finding \"no reasonable grounds to believe that any of the officers committed a criminal offence in connection with Ms Korchinski-Paquet's death\". It also found no indication of \"overt racism\" by any of the officers involved. But in a video statement, SIU director Joseph Martino said \"it must be acknowledged that Miss Korchinski-Paquet's death and others in recent months has raised important issues of social consequence\". Her death came shortly after George Floyd's death in Minneapolis in police custody, which sparked a US, and then global, protest movement. The family's lawyer, Knia Singh, says the family is disappointed with the SIU report, which he says was \"thorough but left out key elements\". He added that an independent family post-mortem examination differed from the one conducted by the coroner. Her sister, Renee Korchinski-Beals, called the SIU report's findings \"disgusting\". What do we know about the incident? On 27 May, police received several emergency calls from Ms Korchinski-Paquet, her mother and her brother, about a domestic disturbance at her residence, on the 24th floor of an apartment building in Toronto, according to the SIU report. Family members have said Ms Korchinski-Paquet had epileptic seizures earlier that day, and that they affected her behaviour and she often needed time to calm down after they occurred. When police arrived, they were met by Ms Korchinski-Paquet, her mother, and brother in the apartment building's hallway. Police officers, later followed by paramedics, then escorted Ms Korchinski-Paquet into her unit when she said she needed to use the bathroom. After she did so, more officers entered the apartment and urged her to speak with one of the paramedics. Instead, she backed away from police and walked on to her unit's balcony. At that point her mother and brother both entered the apartment. An officer asked the young woman to come back inside and tried to open the balcony door, which Ms Korchinski-Paquet blocked. She then scaled the balcony railing. Shortly after she fell, apparently attempting to reach the neighbouring balcony. \"There were allegations in the wake of Miss Korchinski-Paquet death that she was pushed off the balcony by police,\" Mr Martino said. \"The evidence establishes that this did not occur.\" Mr Singh says the family believes the police failed in their \"duty of care\" once they entered her apartment. The lawyer says he sees no reason that a situation that had apparently calmed down when police arrived turned tragic. The family is conducting its own investigation into the incident. Toronto police are also holding a mandatory review of the case looking at its procedures and policies during the response. \"I think we tried our best on that day, and we'll examine everything again to see if we can do better,\" Toronto's interim police chief, James Ramer, told a news conference.",

PM Theresa May has pledged to ban all avoidable plastic waste by 2042. Environmental experts have said that the anti-plastic movement showed the public could be \"mobilised\" for action on green issues. There has been growing awareness of the damage caused by single-use plastics after TV series Blue Planet II highlighted the issue last year. But Mr Singh-Watson, founder of Riverford Organic Farmers, which supplies about 47,000 boxes of vegetables to homes in the UK each week, said demonising plastic could do more harm than good. He said: \"The fervour - the almost religious fervour - of some of our customers in (being) anti-plastic can actually create problems. \"Plastic is not in itself an evil material, it is the fact that we use so much of it. \"The biggest environmental challenge facing our planet is climate change - and anything that distracts attention from that is potentially dangerous.\" Mr Singh-Watson, whose company is aiming to use only fully compostable plastic by 2020, says switching materials isn't always the best option - as some, like paper, can have a higher carbon footprint than plastic. He said it would be \"a step in the wrong direction\" if companies focused too much on their plastic usage, rather than addressing energy efficiency or reducing their carbon footprint in other ways. The government has pledged to tackle plastic waste and is considering a number of proposals, including a ban on plastic straws, stirrers and cotton buds. Positive steps to cut waste Mr Singh-Watson said the biggest single issue the government needs to sort is the \"ridiculous\" lack of a unified recycling policy across the country. He said companies struggle to come up with \"sensible packaging\", as different collection policies mean they don't know which material is the best option. There are currently 39 different recycling schemes in England, but that is being reviewed by the government. Consumers 'right' on plastic Alyssa Gilbert, director of policy at Imperial College's Grantham Institute, which works on climate change and environmental action, said the popularity of the plastics issue proved there was enthusiasm for tackling environmental problems. \"The public have been mobilised and engaged in thinking about their relationship to the environment, and that's an amazing thing,\" she said. But she agreed the wrong approach to cutting plastic use could be counter-productive. Some plastic - such as wrapped cucumbers - helped to combat food waste, which in turn contributes to carbon emissions, she said. And many UK companies were taking quite sophisticated approaches, such as co-operating to reduce the number of plastics used in the high street so that recycling becomes easier and more efficient, she added. Reducing plastic also reduced dependence on the oil it is made from, says Rosie Cotgreave, a campaigner for Friends of the Earth. She said: \"Consumers are right to call for less plastic, but it's government policy and action that's needed if we are going to get to grips with the scale of the problem.\" Hear more on the debate in Costing The Earth on BBC Radio 4 on 23 October at 15:30 BST, repeated on 24 October at 21:00.",

However, Perth-based SSE has revealed it has been hit by widened losses for its household gas and electricity supplier. It has also reported the loss of another 460,000 SSE customer accounts as competition takes its toll. In its half-year results, SSE said: \"There is now some uncertainty as to whether this transaction can be completed as originally contemplated. \"Nevertheless, the board believes that the best future for SSE energy services, including its customers and employees, will continue to lie outside the SSE group.\" The two firms had been hoping to seal the merger of their retail operations in the first quarter of 2019. But they said talks over the new terms of the deal will take several weeks and will probably see the deal delayed beyond the first quarter. They still insist, however, that work to complete the merger continues and they plan to update by mid-December. SSE reported a 41% fall in underlying pre-tax profits to £246.4m, stripping out its energy services division. On a bottom-line basis, SSE posted pre-tax losses of £265.3m for the six months to 30 September against profits of £409.3m a year earlier. Its energy services arm, which is split out from the main numbers due to the Npower deal, saw operating losses widen to £62.1m from £7.1m a year ago. Small suppliers It said annual profit margins in the energy services arm was set to fall to between 2% and 3%, down from 6.8% in the previous year, due to the price cap and \"competitive pressures\". \"Margins are expected to be lower still in 2019/20,\" it added. On Tuesday, Npower's German owner Innogy also reported falling customer numbers in the UK. It said it has lost about 500,000 accounts this year and warned the supplier will make a loss for the fourth consecutive year. SSE said suppliers were suffering amid competition from small suppliers as households switch to cheaper providers.

We will look at them. \"The council has to come from the position of 'Here's the option we are going with and what do you think?'.\" The consultation will run from 29 October to 14 January 2013.",

The internet should be viewed as a utility service, alongside water and electricity, it says. But without action, the UK may fall behind in the new digital era. 'Ambitious approach' The reports says: The committee calls for action to give teachers in England the confidence and skills to deliver the new computing curriculum, otherwise \"inconsistent teacher training\" risks letting pupils down. In particular, a \"paucity\" of women in digital careers and in science, technology, engineering and mathematics generally risks holding back UK competitiveness, the report says. \"Girls have to be engaged earlier and across all education levels\" and the perception of these jobs as \"male-oriented\" must be addressed, it adds. The report says 35% of current jobs in the UK could be automated within 20 years. It urges an ambitious approach to secure the UK's digital economy, with the government acting as the \"conductor of the orchestra\", focusing on business and education. \"We are at a tipping point,\" it says. \"Digital businesses can locate anywhere in the world, and if we fail to provide the right conditions for them to flourish in the UK, we will become a branch economy, much less prosperous and influential than we could be.\" A digital divide persists in the UK, with some six million citizens never having used the internet and 9.5 million lacking adequate digital skills, partly because they have been \"poorly served at school\", the report warns. In particular, it says, a shortage of medium and high-level digital skills \"needs immediate attention\" if the UK is to remain globally competitive. It urges action at all levels of the \"talent pipeline - primary, secondary, further and higher education\". 'Wake-up call' Baroness Morgan of Huyton, who chairs the committee, called the report a \"wake-up call\" to whomever forms the next government. Its recommendations would entail a \"radical rethink\" of education for people of all ages, said Lady Morgan, the former chairwoman of Ofsted. She said: \"From an early age, we need to give digital literacy as much importance as numeracy and literacy. \"While we welcome the introduction of the computing curriculum, we are concerned about the ability of teachers to deliver it - with more than half of our IT teachers not having a post-A-level qualification relevant to IT. \"At the higher education level, there is an urgent need for industry input, so that graduates are learning job-relevant digital skills.\" Lady Morgan also said it was unacceptable that some urban areas still lacked mobile or broadband coverage. 'Options limited' Valerie Thompson, chief executive of the e-Learning Foundation, particularly welcomed the report's emphasis on the need to ensure all children had access to the internet. \"Digital skills are an enabler across the curriculum, but there are real issues of access for poorer children,\" she said. Too many families did not have the internet at home, said Ms Thompson. \"And if your mum and dad are not comfortable with the internet, the options for you to be a comfortable internet user when you leave school are limited.\" Ms Thompson said schools needed more resources for computers and broadband to allow students online access for every subject. A Department for Education spokeswoman said it was vital to ensure young people had the skills and knowledge to \"secure jobs in our country's burgeoning tech industry\". She said: \"To achieve that, we have redesigned our national curriculum to be the world leader in computing, meaning young people in England will start learning the basics of coding from age five. \"We have also provided £3.6m to make sure teachers have the confidence and knowledge to teach this new curriculum and are engaging leading technology companies to support schools in delivering it.\"",

After a week-long manhunt and six-hour stand-off with armed police the former nightclub bouncer shot himself. It comes after reports some intend to mark the anniversary of his death. The former Chief Constable of Northumbria Police told Radio 5 Live: \"I don't feel empathy for somebody who sadistically gunned down and killed one individual and seriously harmed two others.\" Moat, 37, was released from Durham Prison in early July 2010, following an 18-week sentence for assault. Two days later he targeted his former girlfriend and her new partner. Chris Brown was killed while Samantha Stobbart suffered life-threatening injuries. Moat then also shot traffic officer PC David Rathband who was finishing his shift in a marked patrol car. PC Rathband survived but lost his sight in both eyes. He took his own life in 2012. Moat disappeared and gained national notoriety as he became the subject of the largest manhunt the country had seen in 44 years. After a week on the run, on 10 July, he was spotted in the riverbank area of Rothbury, Northumberland, and after a stand-off, he turned the gun on himself. Following the incident flowers were left at the scene of Moat's death and messages of sympathy to him were left on Facebook. A 'tribute' page was later removed from the site. In a new interview ahead of the 10th anniversary of the incident, Sue Sim said: \"One of the things that does still concern me to this day is the number of people who still see Raoul Moat as a hero. \"For people to put him on a pedestal as a hero, I'm sorry - Dave Rathband was a hero, Raoul Moat wasn't a hero.\" She said she visited David Rathband regularly in hospital after he was shot by Moat. \"That is one of the greatest tragedies out of all of this... that a fine police officer took his own life as a result and I do blame Moat for David's death.\" PC Rathband was commended for his charity work in the wake of his injuries and started the Blue Lamp Foundation to help other emergency service staff injured in the line of duty. In September 2011, an inquest jury returned a verdict of suicide in the death of Raoul Moat. The hearing was told Moat was hit by an experimental shotgun Taser round fired by marksmen who believed he was preparing to kill himself. Meanwhile an Independent Police Complaints Commission report found no evidence of misconduct by officers. The IPCC looked at the period from the sighting of Moat until his death, including strategy and tactics and the deployment of Tasers. It concluded there may be \"some learning\" for Northumbria Police from the investigation but there was no evidence of misconduct by any police officers. Sue Sim, who has now retired, defended the use of the Taser and expressed her regret that Moat never faced justice. \"As far as the operation went, the officers all behaved superbly but in my view, it was a failure because I wanted that man brought to justice, put before a court and tried for the dreadful crimes he committed,\" she said. In a statement, the current Chief Constable of Northumbria Police, Winton Keenen, said the force's thoughts were with those affected by events 10 years ago, especially the victims and their families. He paid tribute to PC David Rathband and Moat's other victims, saying: \"We particularly remember Chris Brown, who sadly lost his life in the cowardly, unprovoked attack, as well as his partner Samantha Stobbart who thankfully survived her injuries - our thoughts remain with their families, friends and loved ones.\" Help and support is available at the BBC Action Line.

            "input": "By Justin RowlattBBC News The Tesla and SpaceX entrepreneur's net worth has crossed $185bn (£136bn) after an increase in the share price of the electric car company. So, what is the secret of his success? A few years back I spent almost an hour discussing exactly this with him. To mark his new milestone we decided to dust the interview off and share it with you. So here is Elon Musk's guide to success in business. 1. It isn't about the money This is absolutely central to Elon Musk's attitude to business. When I interviewed him in 2014 he said he didn't know how rich he was. \"It's not as if there is a pile of cash somewhere,\" he said. \"It's really just that I have a certain number of votes in Tesla, and SpaceX, and SolarCity, and the marketplace has value on those votes.\" He doesn't have anything against the pursuit of wealth \"if it's done in sort of an ethical and good manner\", but said it just isn't what drives him. The approach certainly seems to be working. The real-life inspiration for Robert Downey Jr's portrayal of Tony Stark of Iron Man fame was worth perhaps $10bn when we spoke in 2014. His electric car company, Tesla, has performed particularly well. Shares have surged over the past year to take its value to more than $700bn. For that you could buy Ford, General Motors, BMW, Volkswagen and Fiat Chrysler, and still have enough left over to buy Ferrari. But Musk, who turns 50 this year, doesn't expect to die rich. He said he thinks most of his money will be spent building a base on Mars, and wouldn't be surprised if the project consumed his entire fortune. In fact, like Bill Gates, he would probably regard ending his life with billions in the bank as a mark of failure because he hadn't put that money to good use. 2. Pursue your passions That Mars base is a clue to what Elon Musk believes is the key to success. \"You want things in the future to be better,\" he told me. \"You want these new exciting things that make life better.\" Take SpaceX. He told me he set the company up because he was frustrated the US space programme wasn't more ambitious. \"I kept expecting us to advance beyond Earth, and to put a person on Mars, and have a base on the moon, and have, you know, very frequent flights to orbit,\" he said. When that didn't happen, he came up with the idea for the \"Mars Oasis Mission\", which aimed to send a small greenhouse to the red planet. The idea was to get people excited about space again, and persuade the US government to increase Nasa's budget. It was while he was trying to get that off the ground he realised the problem wasn't \"a lack of will, but rather a lack of way\" - space technology was far more expensive than it needed to be. Et voila! The world's cheapest rocket-launching business was born. And here's the important thing, its genesis wasn't about making money, but landing a person on Mars. Musk told me he regards himself as an engineer rather than an investor, and says what gets him up in the morning is the desire to solve technical problems. It is that, rather than dollars in the bank, that is his yardstick of progress. He knows every hurdle his businesses overcome helps everyone else who's trying to solve the same problem - and it does it forever. That's why, shortly before we met, the entrepreneur had announced he was going to open up all Tesla's patents to speed up the development of electric vehicles worldwide. 3. Don't be afraid to think big One of the really striking things about Elon Musk's businesses is how audacious they are. He wants to revolutionise the car industry, colonise Mars, build super-fast trains in vacuum tunnels, integrate AI into human brains and upend the solar power and battery industries. There's a common thread here. All of his projects are the kind of futuristic fantasies you'd find in a kid's magazine in the early 1980s. Put it like this, his tunnelling business is called The Boring Company. Musk makes no secret of the fact he was inspired by the books and movies he consumed as a kid in South Africa. Which brings us to Musk's third business tip - don't hold back. He believes low ambition is baked into most companies' incentive structures. Too many companies are \"incrementalist\", he said. \"If you're the CEO of a big company and you aim for something that's a modest improvement, and it takes longer than expected, and doesn't work out quite as well, then nobody's gonna blame you,\" he told me. You can say it wasn't my fault, it was the suppliers. If you are bold, and go for a really breakthrough improvement, and it doesn't work, you're definitely going to get fired, he argues. He says this is why most companies focus on making small improvements to their existing products rather than daring to imagine completely new ones. So, his advice is to make sure you are working on what he calls \"stuff that's going to matter\". Two things stand out in Musk's personal hierarchy of stuff that matters. First, he wants to accelerate the transition from fossil fuels. Here's what the entrepreneur had to say about that: \"We're drawing upon deep gas fields and deep oil fields that haven't seen the light of day since the Cambrian era. If the last time something saw light was when the most complex organism was a sponge, you really have to question whether that is a wise move.\" Second, he wants to ensure the long-term survival of humanity by colonising Mars and \"making life multiplanetary\". Like I say, think big. 4. Be ready to take risks This one is obvious. You've got to have skin in the game to do well, but Elon Musk has taken more risks than most. By 2002 he had sold off his holdings in his first two ventures, an internet city guide called Zip2 and the online payment company PayPal. He had just entered his 30s and had almost $200m in the bank. He says his plan was to put half his fortune into the businesses and keep the other half. Things didn't work out like that. When I met him, he was just emerging from the darkest period of his business life. His new companies faced all sorts of teething troubles. SpaceX's first three launches had failed, and Tesla had all manner of production problems, and supply chain, and design issues. Then the financial crisis struck. Musk said he faced a stark choice. \"I could either keep the money, then the companies are definitely going to die, or invest what I have left and maybe there is a chance.\" He kept pouring in money. At one point he was so in debt he had to borrow money from friends just to pay his living expenses, he told me. So, did the prospect of bankruptcy frighten him? He says it didn't: \"My kids might have to go to a sort of government school. I mean big deal, I went to a government school.\" 5. Ignore the critics What really shocked him - and it was clear in 2014 he was still very upset by it - was the delight many pundits and commentators took in his travails. \"The liberal schadenfreude was really quite astonishing,\" said Musk. \"There were multiple blog sites maintaining a Tesla death watch.\" I suggested people may have wanted him to fail because there's a kind of arrogance about his ambition. He rejected that. \"I think it would be arrogant if we said we were definitely going to do it, as opposed to we're aspiring to do it, and we're going to give it our best shot.\" This brings us to Musk's next lesson in business success - don't listen to the critics. He told me he didn't believe SpaceX or Tesla would ever make money when he set them up - and the truth is nor did anyone else. But he ignored the doomsters and went ahead anyway. Why? Remember, this is a man who judges success on the basis of the important problems he's solved, not how much money he has made. Think how liberating that is. He isn't worried about looking stupid because his big financial bet hasn't paid off, what he cares about is pursuing important ideas. It makes decision making much simpler because he can stay focused on what he believes really matters. And the market seems to like what he's doing. In October, the US investment bank Morgan Stanley valued SpaceX at $100bn. The company has transformed the economics of space flight, but what will make Musk most proud will be how his company has reinvigorated the US space programme. Last year his Crew Dragon rockets launched six astronauts to the International Space Station, the first such missions from US soil since the space shuttles were retired in 2011. 6. Enjoy yourself Follow this guide and, with a bit of luck, you'll become impossibly rich and famous too. Then you can start to come out of your shell. Elon Musk is famously a workaholic - he boasts of working 120-hour weeks to keep production of the Tesla Model 3 on track - but since we met he seems to have been enjoying himself. He has stoked controversy with defamation lawsuits, on-air dope smoking and wild outbursts on social media. In 2018 he ran into trouble with the US financial regulator when he tweeted that he was planning to take Tesla private, and when the Covid-19 pandemic forced Tesla to shut down production at its San Francisco Bay Area factory, he became a vocal opponent of coronavirus lockdown restrictions. He called panic over the virus \"dumb\" on Twitter, and described stay-at-home orders as \"forcible imprisonment\", saying they were \"fascist\" and a breach of constitutional rights. In the summer he announced plans to sell off his physical possessions saying they \"weigh you down\". Days later he took to Twitter to tell the world his newborn son would be called X Æ A-12 Musk. Yet his unpredictable behaviour doesn't seem to have affected his businesses, and the entrepreneur remains as ambitious as ever. In September, Musk claimed Tesla would have a \"compelling\" $25,000 car within three years, and said soon all the company's new cars would be completely self-driving. And his year ended with a real bang in December, when SpaceX tested its Starship launch vehicle, which it hopes will take the first humans to Mars. The giant rocket exploded when it crash landed six minutes after lift-off. Elon Musk hailed the test as an \"awesome\" success.

Mr Lane, who married his long-term partner Sue shortly after being discharged from hospital, decided to speak out to warn people how dangerous the necrotising fasciitis bug is. He said: \"I've been compensated, but I'll never get my health back. \"I used to be sporty and proud of my body, but now I can't bear to look in the mirror.\" Mr Lane, who works as a carer, added: \"My wife and I have been together for 18 years and enjoyed a healthy sex life but since this happened, that has been impossible. \"The desire is still there, but the little that's left just doesn't function any more. \"I know Sue still loves me, but I feel less of a man.\" Denise Townsend, director of nursing at Southend University Hospital, said: \"I can confirm that the trust is in communication with Mr Lane regarding his case, a settlement sum has been agreed and that the trust has admitted failures in relation to delays in Mr Lane's diagnosis.\"",

It happened in No 9 dock where a £200m refit of a Royal Navy Trident submarine HMS Vanguard is taking place. DRD admitted breaching crane regulations. The ONR, which inspects nuclear facilities, said the offence happened during disassembly of an 11.25 tonne stack of four weights used to test cranes lifting nuclear waste. Graham Morrison for the ONR said there had been a \"shortage of qualified staff\" and Mr Jones was \"in no position to supervise\" a colleague. Mr Jones attached lifting strops on one side of the stack to the top two weights. His colleague had attached strops on the other side to the second and third weights. When they were lifted the three weights \"split apart and toppled over\" said Mr Morrison. CCTV video seen in court showed that Mr Jones \"leapt out of the way just in time and luckily escaped injury\". If he had not done so, \"he could have been killed\", said District Judge Diana Baker. A \"largely generic\" risk assessment, \"fell far short\" of required standards said the ONR. A lack of exclusion zone meant workers could walk nearby. \"We have an overall picture of falling well below standards,\" said Mr Morrison. DRD, a subsidiary of defence contractor Babcock International, had \"immense regret\" that its \"good safety record\" had been affected the court heard. Jonathan Cooper for DRD said there was no blame on Mr Jones or his colleague and the incident \"could and should have been prevented\". DRD will be sentenced next month.",

The retailer is involved in a company voluntary arrangement (CVA) renegotiating terms with its creditors.

Pre-tax profits fell from just over £600,000 in 2017 to a loss of £6.3 million last year, according to accounts filed at Companies House. However, turnover increased 6% thanks to growth in its online and international business. The company is proposing linking some of its rents to store sales. Paperchase's parent company Primary Capital called in advisers from KPMG to explore a potential CVA last month. Will Wright, restructuring partner at KPMG and proposed supervisor of the CVA, said the deal gives the firm \"the ability to rationalise its store portfolio by exiting stores that are unprofitable, secure rent reductions where stores are over-rented and implement turnover rents to reflect the highly seasonal nature of the business.\" Creditors will vote on the proposals on 22 March.

Merthyr Tydfil council agreed a 3.95% council tax hike and Rhondda Cynon Taf agreed an increase of 4.5%. Councils in Wales have had their funding from the Welsh government cut, and many are looking to increases in council tax to meet the deficit. Caerphilly council must cut its budget by £14.53m this year, and more than £28m during the next three years. Proposals which include increasing paperwork charges and reducing the frequency of cutting grass in civic areas were also agreed. Commenting on the 3.9% council tax increase, deputy council leader Keith Reynolds said: \"While admittedly this increase is higher that we would have liked, it is important to note that it still makes Caerphilly's council tax increase among the lowest in Wales.\" Wrexham council needs to save nearly £14m this year and £45m over five years. It has agreed a council tax increase of 3%, and plans to save money by closing some community centres, libraries and the Plas Madoc leisure centre and Waterworld - which have led to protests. Plas Madoc is set to close by the end of April. The council's executive board meet on 11 March to decide if the time for interested parties to consider taking the venue over as a social enterprise should be extended from June to October. Rhondda Cynon Taf has said it needs to save £70m during four years. There have already been protests against plans to increase the age the youngest children start school, close libraries and shut day care centres for the elderly. The council has also consulted on a further round of cuts, which include closing a theatre, museum, bus routes and switching off street lights. An increase of 4.5% in council tax has been approved. Merthyr Tydfil council needs to save £15.3m over four years. It has decided on an increase of 3.95% in council tax. The budget plans include closing an elderly people's centre and reducing library opening hours. The council meeting on Wednesday deferred a decision on controversial proposals to scrap free transport for sixth-form pupils. The plan to remove post-16 free home-to-school and free home-to-college transport had been condemned by parents and pupils at Ysgol Gyfun Rhydywaun who claimed it would undermine Welsh-medium education. Scrapping the post-16 transport would have saved £115,000 per year but there will now be a period of further consultation before any action is taken. Cardiff council is meeting to discuss its budget and a 3.97% increase in council tax on Thursday. Mandatory services On Tuesday, Powys council shelved proposals for a £20m package of savings and 3.95% hike in council tax. Plans to cut special education services and to raise day care centre charges were thrown out during a full council meeting in Llandrindod Wells which was disrupted by protesters. The decision has now been adjourned until next week. Local government expert Dr Marlene Davies, Associate of the University of South Wales, told BBC Wales: \"Councils have got mandatory services that they have to provide - education is a key one, social services is another - there is lots of legislation out there that requires these local government services. \"Usually a huge percentage is spent on these mandatory services, so there is only about 10% of their budgets where they can make savings. \"They can't even fall back on using their reserves as that is only a short-term fix. You need that money for contingency plans, things that happen like the floods or storm damage.\" A Welsh government spokesperson said: \"In these challenging financial times, councils need to be taking determined action to ensure services are maintained and improved while also giving people value for money from their council tax. \"We are already supporting councils to make savings, for example the National Procurement Service, which went live in November and is expected to generate savings of up to £25m each year. \"Funding is also available through the Invest to Save and the Regional Collaboration Funds, which help public services to work with each other to transform services by meeting upfront costs which could otherwise be a barrier.\"",

Detective Chief Superintendent Craig Suttie is Event Commander at T In The Park. 'Robust regime' He told Newsbeat: \"We've seen a rise across Scotland in the quantity and quality of ecstasy. There's definitely an increased amount of it about.\" It's understood taking one tablet from the 'extra strong' batch could have the effect of taking six tablets at once. DCI Suttie says: \"Last year we were particularly concerned about legal highs, this year it's ecstasy. \"We do have a robust search regime in place though at T In The Park and have already made a number of recoveries. \"My message to festival goers is that ecstasy has been linked to some recent deaths. \"If you do take it - and I'm not condoning it - you don't know how strong the pills are going to be and the effects they'll have. \"Put short, drugs are dangerous.\" Festival goers Laura Timpany, 21, and Ryan Millar, 19, have come to T in the Park for the weekend. Laura said: \"There are definitely more warnings about ecstasy this year. \"We came up on the bus and there were leaflets from the police on board.

It describes the moment as a \"massive thunderclap of support\" for NHS staff on the front line. The Guardian says streets that had been \"eerily hushed\" were filled with the sound of clapping, cheering and children banging on pots and pans. The lead article in the Times examines whether Chancellor Rishi Sunak's support package for self-employed workers is \"perhaps more generous than it needed to be\". While the paper acknowledges there will be some who miss out on the scheme, freelancers will be able to claim a grant irrespective of whether their income has actually fallen because of the virus shutdown. The Sun notes the delay in accessing funds until June will be \"borderline impossible for many\". It goes on to suggest that cost of funding this emergency package may make the austerity years look like a \"golden era of opulence\". Mr Sunak's performance at Thursday's Downing Street news conference is praised by the parliamentary sketch-writers. Quentin Letts describes him in the Times as \"dishy Rishi\", delivering details of what was being offered with his \"caring eyes\" and his \"soft, sibilant voice\". John Crace in the Guardian says the chancellor was \"widely written off\" when he took over at the Treasury - but he has since become the \"master\" with his assured performances, making Prime Minister Boris Johnson look like \"the needy lapdog\". \"Police take the moral high ground to its upper limit\" says the Daily Telegraph as it examines how forces are using new powers to ensure social distancing. Under the headline, \"Checkpoint Charlies\" the Daily Star is one of a number of papers to focus on the police roadblocks now in place across the UK to check that people are not making unnecessary journeys. It says that the police have got tough on \"the morons who still go out\". The Daily Mail features images of police stopping cars in Cornwall and Plymouth. It also carries quotes from an exasperated chief constable of Greater Manchester Police - who says people are still treating the crisis like a holiday and leaving supermarkets with trolleys \"full of booze and charcoal\". The new police powers have been described as \"over the top\" in comments made by Big Brother Watch to the Times. The paper highlights how Derbyshire Police used a drone to monitor ramblers, dog walkers and people taking pictures for social media in the Peak District. Drivers in Devon and Shropshire also reportedly returned to their cars to find messages including \"Why are you here today?\" attached to their vehicles. They were warned that their daily allowance of physical exercise should not involve driving.

The Financial Times says Lloyds and Barclays are temporarily pulling many of their mortgages - with some banks reportedly only making offers if buyers have a deposit of 40% of the purchase price. Meanwhile, the Telegraph reports that the prime minister and Home Secretary Priti Patel became \"embroiled in a row\" over her wish to close the UK's borders to stop the spread of coronavirus. The home secretary is said to have tried to build a coalition of ministers to make the case to No 10, believing she would have been able to use existing immigration rules to stop planes from landing.

But a glance under the Mariensaeule, a column topped with a statue of the Virgin Mary, tells you that all is not well here. Flowers and candles have been laid at the foot of the monument in memory of those who died in the shootings on Friday at a shopping centre in the north-west of the city. Their killer was an 18-year-old German-Iranian, David Ali Sonboly, who was obsessed with guns. \"To the victims of the 23rd of July\" one message reads. \"Love is stronger than hate,\" says another.

What drives individuals to commit mass killings? \"I'm trying not to let it affect me too much in my daily life,\" Xenia, a student, told me. \"But when one thing after another happens like this, you can't help thinking that the world is totally crazy.\" \"Do you think the government is doing enough in this situation?\" I asked her. \"Have they let in too many refugees and migrants?\" \"I feel generally safe in Germany,\" she said. \"Attacks have been prevented in Duesseldorf and Bonn, and you can't do much against lone wolves. \"And we can't just blame it all on the refugees. That makes it far too simple. There will always be problem cases, but in general the refugees risk their lives to come here.\" On the other side of the square, Alois Frank shook his head. \"I think there will be more attacks like this if the government doesn't take action,\" he told me. \"They are doing much too little. \"They need to check very carefully who these migrants are, whether they are real asylum seekers or not.\" \"What do you think about Chancellor Angela Merkel?\" I asked him. \"I always used to like her very much,\" he said. \"But since she has accepted so many migrants, I am strongly against her. \"I always voted for the CDU [Mrs Merkel's party],\" he said, \"but now I am re-considering.\" He looked around at a couple walking with their little girl. \"I'm not worried for myself because I am 83 years old and if something happens to me, my God, who cares!

I hope that will change one day.\" The oppressive heat of the afternoon gave way to a violent thunderstorm, and I took shelter in the doorway of a shop, along with a middle-aged woman with brown hair. \"These are strange times for Bavaria,\" she told me. \"Even the weather doesn't like it.\" \"Are you worried?\" I asked her. \"I was worried on Friday during the shootings,\" she said. \"And I was a bit careful on the underground today.

Ahead of the debate, Barrowman had his own one-man show where he asked fans to give Jodie Whittaker a chance as the new female lead in Doctor Who. \"If we buy into the world of Doctor Who - which we do, those of us who love it - we buy into it, we commit to it, we go where that Tardis takes us,\" he said. \"It doesn't say that he will be a he all the time. We don't know who he'll regenerate into, so it could conceivably happen.\" Meanwhile, two former Doctors clash over Jodie Whittaker Former Doctor Who stars Peter Davison, Sophie Aldred, and Colin Baker got together for a fan Q&A as well as preview a lost episode of the sci-fi drama. But the two Doctors clashed when Davison said he felt \"a bit sad\" a female Doctor might no longer be \"a role model for boys\". Baker said his comments were \"rubbish\", adding: \"You don't have to be of a gender to be a role model.\" Legion teases a possible Professor X appearance Former Downton Abbey star Dan Stevens and his Legion cast mates brought season two news to their panel. The second series - based in the X-Men universe - will be expanded to 10 episodes rather than eight, and Wonder Woman star Saïd Taghmaoui will be joining the show as Amahl Farouk a.k.a. the Shadow King.

He repeatedly called police for help in the days before, the trial heard, but had been seen as a \"nuisance\". PC Kevin Duffy and Andrew Passmore were convicted of misconduct but PCs Leanne Winter and Helen Harris were cleared. The four Avon and Somerset officers were accused of letting their dislike of Mr Ebrahimi influence their decision making. Iranian-born Mr Ebrahimi, who was registered disabled, was beaten to death by neighbour Lee James outside his flat in Capgrave Crescent, Brislington, in July 2013. His body was set alight. Days earlier he had called police to report James had assaulted him. James believed Mr Ebrahimi had filmed his children but he was actually recording anti-social behaviour to submit to Bristol City Council. Vigilantism 'in the air' The trial heard PC Winter and PC Harris did not see any injuries on Mr Ebrahimi. Instead they arrested him for an alleged breach of the peace. A crowd gathered outside his flat cheered and James shouted: \"Paedo! I'm going to kill you.\" The court heard \"vigilantism was in the air\". After being released the following morning, Mr Ebrahimi repeatedly tried to get police to investigate his complaint against James and called the non-emergency 101 number 12 times. He was told his local beat manager - Duffy - would visit. \"My life is in danger. Right now a few of my neighbours are outside and shouting and calling me a paedophile. I need to see PC Duffy,\" Mr Ebrahimi told one operator. But the trial heard Duffy, 52, saw him as a \"liar and a nuisance\" and never went to see him. He asked Passmore to conduct a \"bit of a foot patrol\" around Capgrave Crescent. Passmore, 56, was convicted of misconduct in a public office by falsely claiming during a police interview to have spent an hour patrolling the area around Mr Ebrahimi's home. 'Crying for help' Mr Ebrahimi's family claimed their brother was the victim of racism for years. Speaking outside court, his sister Mojgan Khayatian said there had been a clear failure by police. She said: \"Bijan was crying for help not one time, not twice, not three times. He made several phone calls and ignoring these phone calls for somebody who's very vulnerable, who's got a history of being vulnerable and seeking help from police for years, it was even worse.\" James was convicted of murder in 2013 and is serving a life sentence. Another Capgrave Crescent resident, Stephen Norley, was sentenced to four years for assisting an offender. Eighteen Avon and Somerset Police officers and staff - including Duffy, Passmore, Harris and Winter - still face internal police misconduct proceedings. Nine of them face gross misconduct charges. Temporary Deputy Chief Constable Louisa Rolfe described Mr Ebrahimi's murder as \"senseless\" She added: \"This tragedy should never have happened. A great deal has been done to understand and reflect on the events in the weeks leading up to Mr Ebrahimi's death.\" Police and Crime Commissioner Sue Mountstevens said it was \"clear that on this occasion the constabulary failed local people and let down a vulnerable man in his own home\".

At a summit in Malta, EU Council President Donald Tusk said that saving the EU's Schengen rules on free movement was a \"race against time\". The EU has agreed to a €1.8bn (£1.3bn) fund to help Africa tackle \"the root causes of irregular migration\". But some African leaders have already criticised the sum being offered as insufficient. Some 150,000 people from African countries such as Eritrea, Nigeria and Somalia have crossed the Mediterranean from Africa this year, but this has been dwarfed by the arrival of some 650,000 people - mostly Syrians - via Turkey and Greece. Tensions in the EU have been rising because of the pressures faced by those countries where most migrants initially arrive, particularly Greece, Italy and Hungary. Many then head to Germany or Sweden - the two nations regarded as the most welcoming to refugees - to claim asylum. Mr Tusk said recent developments in Sweden, Germany, Slovenia and elsewhere had shown \"with utmost clarity the huge pressure member states are facing\". 'Another system' needed Sweden said the temporary controls came into effect at midday local time on Thursday and will last initially for 10 days. Checks began on trains crossing the Oresund Bridge between Sweden and Denmark and at terminals for ferries arriving from Denmark and Germany. Police indicated not all vehicles crossing the bridge would be checked. Nearly 200,000 migrants are expected to arrive in Sweden this year, more per head of population than any other EU nation. \"This is not an issue for one or two or three countries - this is an issue for the whole European Union,\" Swedish Prime Minister Stefan Lofven said at the Malta talks. \"We need another system - that is obvious.\" More on the migrant crisis Katya Adler - How Sweden's far-right has gained from the crisis Crisis in graphics - Migrant countries of origin, routes and destinations Impact of arrivals - How one German city is coping Swedish Interior Minister Anders Ygeman said the centre-left government had acted \"in order to obtain security and stability... not to limit the number of asylum seekers, but to get better control of the flow of asylum seekers to Sweden\". Swedish immigration officials say the introduction of temporary border controls will help them register new arrivals and prevent people from staying in the country illegally. Fredrik Bengtsson, spokesman for the Swedish Migration Agency, said it was currently picking up people by bus at the border and driving them to its offices, but \"once they get there quite a lot don't enter and get registered but disappear\". Cash for help The summit of EU and African leaders in the Maltese capital Valletta was planned after about 800 people died in a migrant boat sinking off Libya in April. It has been looking at ways to reduce the flow of migrants by helping tackle economic and security problems in African states, and at accelerating repatriation of failed asylum-seekers. African leaders are insisting on a much clearer path for smaller numbers of their citizens to migrate officially to Europe. Also on Thursday, the President of the European Commission, Jean-Claude Juncker, asked EU member states to donate a total of €2.5bn to a fund to support Turkey's efforts to tackle the migration crisis. Analysis: Chris Morris, BBC News, Valletta It is almost always a good idea to get together, shake hands and smile - the importance of political engagement at the very highest level should not be under-estimated. But there are still some fairly fundamental differences of emphasis between Europe and Africa when it comes to how best to tackle the migration crisis. That is hardly surprising because it is a one-way street - an unequal partnership. And efforts to balance things up involve policies such as conflict resolution and poverty reduction that will take decades to bear fruit. The trust fund established today is new money and it will fund new projects. African leaders would like it to be bigger, but overall this deal can have a positive impact. One practical example is a European promise to reduce the cost to migrant workers of sending money back to Africa. Remittances remain a backbone of many national economies. Nevertheless there remains deep scepticism in Africa about European demands to accept the return of far more of the people that EU countries want to expel. That will remain a serious point of contention. Despite a series of high-level meetings over the migration crisis, the EU remains deeply divided on how to deal with the issue. Hungary has criticised Germany's announcement that it planned to send more Syrian refugees back to the first EU country they had entered - excluding Greece - and Croatia has condemned its neighbour Slovenia for building a razor-wire fence along their mutual border. EU leaders have agreed a controversial programme to redistribute thousands of migrants - but so far only about 130 have been successfully moved from Greece and Italy. A note on terminology: The BBC uses the term migrant to refer to all people on the move who have yet to complete the legal process of claiming asylum. This group includes people fleeing war-torn countries such as Syria, who are likely to be granted refugee status, as well as people who are seeking jobs and better lives, who governments are likely to rule are economic migrants.",

Since 1857 it has mostly been in Darlington but the National Railway Museum (NRM), which owns the engine, wants to move it nine miles to Shildon. Almost 7,000 people have signed a petition for it to stay in Darlington. The engine is on display at the Head of Steam Museum, owned by Darlington Borough Council, under a loan agreement from the NRM which ends in March. The NRM, part of the Science Museum Group, intends to move the attraction to Locomotion museum in Shildon by the end of the agreement. It said there is a strong historical case for Robert Stephenson's famed engine to be moved and wants Locomotion No 1 to be the centrepiece of a multimillion-pound redevelopment to mark 200 years since the first trip on the Stockton and Darlington Railway on 27 September 1825. Sarah Price, head of Locomotion museum, said: \"What we want to do at Shildon is to really bring to the fore how important the railway was, how important Shildon was and how important the North East was in telling this global railway story, and a key part of that for us is having Locomotion back at the site where it set off and steamed into history. \"We've always acknowledged the emotional and historic significance of Locomotion to Darlington, but part of what we should be doing for 2025 is to really throw a bright shining light on the achievements of the North East, and we believe that is best done by having Locomotion at Shildon.\" The engine was saved from being scrapped in 1857 by the Pease family of Darlington and - aside from a handful of celebratory events and exhibitions- has been in the town ever since. Heather Scott, leader of Darlington Borough Council, said: \"We've looked after it for 163 years. Why have they decided they are going to take it away from us when we are coming up to the 2025 celebrations? This is the thing that really upsets the residents because of its connection here.\" She said the NRM had offered to let the council's museum have the engine for half of 2025 \"which we would probably agree with\", but there were still major concerns about \"how regularly we would get it back in Darlington\" after that.

But union members at the other firms plan to walk out in a row over a £500 bonus for working during the Olympics. Mayor Boris Johnson said the strike was \"enormously frustrating\". TfL said services \"might be quite affected\". The strike will start from 03:00 BST on Friday. Unite had called for the bonus to be paid to its 20,000 members, in line with extra pay deals agreed with train companies. The three companies who went to court account for 15-20% of London's bus routes, providing services in north-west and south London. TfL Commissioner Peter Hendy, said these companies and the routes they operate would be running as normal, but about the rest of the network he said: \"It might be quite affected.\" Unite's regional secretary for London, Peter Kavanagh, said: \"Bus workers across the vast majority of London's bus network will be on strike tomorrow. \"This comes despite an injunction which was given without any proper explanation. \"Granting an injunction in the face of a massive vote for strike action is an affront to democracy. We will appeal [against] this anti-democratic decision.\" Talks broke down Arriva spokesman Francis King said the legal action centred on the legality of Unite's ballot process. Granting the injunction, Mr Justice Supperstone said: \"The principal issue is whether there has been compliance with the statutory ballot and strike notice provisions. \"In my judgment, the likelihood is that the claimants will succeed in establishing at trial that the union did not comply with the statutory requirements.\" Talks between the bus operators and the union aimed at halting Friday's planned strike action broke down at the conciliation service Acas earlier. On Wednesday the mayor announced that the Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA) had offered £8.3m in a bid to avert action. Unite said it \"cautiously welcomed\" the offer. It blamed the failure of the talks at Acas on TfL's and bus operators' refusal to negotiate a meaningful settlement. The £8.3m is in addition to £91m the ODA gave to TfL to cover the additional costs of running extra services during the Olympics, including bonus pay deals agreed with rail workers. Deals have been announced giving workers at Heathrow Express £700, Network Rail £500, Docklands Light Railway £900, London Overground £600 and London Underground at least £850, Unite said. Unite estimates it would cost £14m to provide a £500 bonus for every bus driver. But following the announcement the strike would go ahead, Mr Johnson said: \"It is extremely frustrating that it now appears inevitable that there will be a bus strike in large parts of London tomorrow and I have made it clear that there is large sums of cash to compensate drivers for the extra work they my be doing on some routes during the Olympic and Paralympic Games. \"But that cash is only available to staff who turn up for work tomorrow. There is a large amount of money on the table, there's been ample time for the companies and Unite to get their act together and sort it out.\" Mr Hendy said: \"As I understand it, the bus companies made three offers to supplement this with more of their own money, but the Unite leadership have refused to budge from their position of £500 after tax for everybody, and indeed have asked for more during the course of the negotiations. \"The union leadership have also refused to defer the strike to give time for further negotiations or for any of the offers to be put to their members.\"",

The SFA said it wanted to reassure people that football was a \"safe and enjoyable environment for children\". It said the review would focus on \"processes and procedures\" in place both currently and historically in Scottish football. Police forces across the UK, including Police Scotland, are investigating more than 80 potential suspects and 98 clubs in the abuse scandal that has rocked the game. The SFA said it was \"imperative that we take the necessary time and guidance\" to ensure its review complemented the work of the police. It said it has taken initial steps towards establishing an appropriate scope and terms of reference for the review. And it pledged to ensure \"organisational learning and development\" is at the forefront of its responsibilities as the governing body for the national game\". It added: \"The initial scoping phase will take place with involvement from all stakeholders into the New Year, and once established we will comment further at the appropriate time\". SFA chief executive Stewart Regan said: \"Police Scotland has reaffirmed that it is the investigatory authority regarding reports of child sexual abuse in football. \"It is therefore crucial to draw the distinction between their ongoing investigation and what lessons football can learn from historic allegations.\" The announcement of the review follows meetings between the SFA, police and representatives from PFA Scotland. On Friday, a BBC Scotland investigation revealed that former youth coach and referee Hugh Stevenson was allowed to carry on working in football for several years after being reported to police and the SFA over child sex offences. And Jim McCafferty, a former youth coach who was the kit man for Celtic, Hibernian and Falkirk was arrested in Belfast after allegations were made against him. Separately, allegations have also been made against coaches who were formerly involved with clubs including Motherwell, Partick Thistle and Rangers. The allegations involve incidents said to have happened between the 1970s and early 1990s. Scotland's deputy first minister, John Swinney, had been among those calling for the SFA to carry out an inquiry into abuse within football. But opposition parties had called for the Scottish government, rather than the SFA, to take the lead on any inquiry. 'Right steps' Responding to the SFA announcement, Mr Swinney told BBC Scotland: \"It is very important that any allegation of historic child abuse is made to the police, and the police have the opportunity to investigate all of the circumstances to try to pursue a prosecution. \"But I welcome the steps that have been taken by the SFA to begin the process of undertaking an independent inquiry into these issues. \"All of us are concerned by the details that have emerged in recent days, and I think the SFA are taking the right steps to address those points.\" The review was also welcomed by NSPCC Scotland, which has set up a specialist hotline to support and advise victims. The hotline was said to have received a \"surge of calls\" in its first week. NSPCC Scotland's national head of service, Matt Forde, said: \"It's vital that victims feel safe to come forward and that all allegations of abuse in football in Scotland are thoroughly investigated. \"The number of cases highlighted so far reveal the deeply disturbing extent of abuse that has been going on within football.\" Scottish Conservative MSP Rachael Hamilton said that, so long as the review was \"truly independent\", it would help to ensure people can have confidence in Scotland's football governing body. She added: \"The key concern now for all the authorities must be to properly examine the allegations that have emerged in recent weeks. Those who have come forward deserve no less. \"Furthermore, prompt action will also give families the reassurance they need that football clubs are a safe environment for children.\" Labour's Iain Gray said: \"There will obviously be concerns about how independent an inquiry set up by an organisation to investigate itself can truly be, however we hope the inquiry can establish public confidence and deliver justice for survivors of historic abuse.\" In England, the Football Association has already commissioned an independent investigation into the way it dealt with abuse allegations.

Working with the help of global accounting heavyweights Deloitte, Sir Philip has come up with a solution that he says achieves three important things. It keeps the scheme out of the pensions lifeboat fund (so other pension schemes don't end up subsidising BHS's), it provides better benefits for the 20,000 members than they would get in the PPF and it has the support of the chairman of the BHS pension fund trustees. Job done. Not according to the Pension Regulator who didn't think the proposal was \"comprehensive or credible\" enough. So its going after him, his family's companies and the other former owner Dominic Chappell to roars of approval from the politicians who were his inquisitors in chief - Frank Field and Iain Wright - co-chairs of the inquiry into the collapse of the retailer. Ill will By pursuing this action, the Pensions Regulator perhaps risks being swept along by the understandable tide of political ill-will towards Sir Philip to the possible detriment of the BHS pensioners themselves. If the regulator is successful in extracting £350m from the billionaire, it is very unlikely that the BHS pensioners will see any of that money. It is almost certain to end up being paid into the general funds of the Pension Protection Fund to mitigate the hit the industry-wide body will suffer as a result of taking on a pension scheme with a £600m hole in it. That outcome is not a bad one but it means that although Sir Philip may pay more, BHS pensioners will not get more. And remember, even that is only if the arms-length panel to whom this will now be referred finds in the regulators favour. That is a reasonably big if. Sir Philip's wallet Last month pensions expert John Ralfe rated the chances of successful enforcement against Sir Philip as 50/50 and told me he has seen nothing in yesterday's announcement to change those odds. Even if the panel sides with the regulator, that decision can be appealed. The last time enforcement action of this kind was taken was three years ago - as of today, not a penny has been paid. This is not a short cut to Sir Philip's wallet. One of the regulator's main jobs is to stop companies casually dumping ailing pension schemes into the PPF net - like a goalkeeper if you like. Despite acrobatic efforts, it could yet prove that it's dived the wrong way and this scheme is more likely to roll slowly into the other corner. Spleen venting Will the threat of him losing his knighthood force him to up his offer? Maybe. MPs recently voted to recommend exactly that in a commons motion that passed unopposed. That was a bit of commons theatre to allow MPs of every stripe to vent their spleen at the \"unacceptable face of capitalism\". Despite thousands of documents examined, hundreds of hours of interrogation and acres of negative newsprint, no illegality has yet been alleged - let alone found. The real decision will be made by a panel of senior civil servants and the number of people who have been stripped of honours without doing anything illegal is a pretty short one - in fact here is the list... Fred Goodwin. Yesterday's enforcement warning made clear that the door remains open for an improved offer to be made but Sir Philip's response last night ended by saying he believed his offer \"confirms the statement of intent that I made in regard to the BHS pensioners\". In his mind he has \"sorted it\" - there may not be another offer. What's £100m between friends?",

The pair were spotted by Joop Van Der Linde, a guest at Ndutu Safari Lodge in Tanzania's Ngorongoro Conservation Area. The scene is the Serengeti; the attentive mother, five-year-old Nosikitok. The lioness has a GPS collar fitted by Kope Lion, a conservation NGO, and three young cubs of her own - born around the 27-28 June. Dr Luke Hunter, President and Chief Conservation Officer for Panthera, a global wild cat conservation organisation which supports Kope Lion, told the BBC the incident was \"truly unique\". \"It's not something that I'm aware has ever happened before between large cats like this,\" he said. \"We know there are cases where lionesses will adopt other lion cubs... But this is unprecedented. \"I know of no other case - between any large cat, for that matter - where the species has adopted or nursed the cub of another species.\" Most lionesses would normally kill a baby leopard if they found one, seeing just another predator in a competitive food-chain. Dr Hunter says Nosikitok has cubs the same age as the young leopard - two to three weeks. She was around a kilometre from her den, where her own cubs are hidden, when she found the spotted substitute. \"She's encountered this little cub, and she's treated it as her own. She's awash with maternal hormones, and this fierce, protective drive that all lionesses have - they're formidable mums,\" the lion expert notes. It is not clear yet where the baby leopard's mother is, or if the lioness will try to adopt it full-time. The local safari lodge say there is a resident female leopard there who almost certainly has cubs. And as Nosikitok's pride are unlikely to prove as indulgent as she is, the best outcome for the leopard would be a safe return to mum. Dr Hunter says his team are on tenterhooks to see what comes next. \"It's a unique thing, it will be fascinating to see how it unfolds. Nature is unpredictable. Up until earlier this week, we would have said 'Nah, that never happens' - and now it happens!\"",

The proposals call for an end of the January exams and puts forward the option of only allowing one re-take for AS and final A-level exams. This would mean that there would only be one set of exams each year, in the summer term at the end of each of the two years. Ms Stacey says this would \"re-balance the emphasis of A-levels onto the learning rather than the assessment\". The role of AS-levels remains open to debate - with questions raised about whether they should continue in their current form. Ofqual says it is \"neutral\" on the future of AS-levels and sets out three options - scrapping them altogether, keeping them in their current form or turning them into a standalone qualification which did not contribute to the A-level. If AS-levels were to be scrapped, it would mean A-levels returning to a two-year course with a final set of summer exams. Degree ready Brian Lightman, leader of the ASCL head teachers' union, called for more debate about the value of the modular structure. \"It is simplistic to say that a course done in modules is easier than one with terminal exams. Nearly all university courses are modular and I have yet to hear criticism that they aren't rigorous enough,\" said Mr Lightman. Education Secretary Michael Gove wrote to Ms Stacey earlier this year, calling for universities to become more involved in A-levels, so they could better prepare students for degree courses. The proposals set out by Ofqual say that universities should be engaged in the content and design of A-levels - and that the qualifications should have the support of at least 20 universities. Responding to the changes, the Russell Group of leading universities said that A-levels were \"broadly fit for purpose\" - but the changes would be beneficial. Wendy Piatt, the group's director general, said the culture of re-sits was fuelling \"grade inflation\" - and so supported limits on re-taking exams. She also supported a move away from a modular approach to teaching and testing - saying that pupils could arrive at university still expecting to be \"spoon fed\". The Russell Group has also voiced concerns about the lack of rigour in some subjects, such as maths and English. Pam Tatlow, chief executive of the Million+ group of universities, said that the level of engagement in A-levels expected of universities would require a \"co-ordinating body\". Ms Tatlow also said that the qualification would lose credibility if approval was limited to only a \"small sub-set\" of universities. Neil Carberry of the CBI said that employers would also want to see their needs reflected in changes. \"The focus needs to be on making A-levels more challenging, to ensure that young people are not just better prepared for university, but are also well-equipped for work.\"",

Accused Peter Healy, 51, said he punched Mr Kennedy four times at a house in Rossington Road but when he left, Mr Kennedy was alive. \"I have no idea how he died\", he said. Mr Healy's co-accused and former girlfriend, Tara Swift, 40, of West Street, Leicester, also denies murder at Nottingham Crown Court. Giving evidence, Mr Healy said after being released from prison on 4 July he had not made contact with Miss Swift or her partner Mr Kennedy until 17 July. On that day he went to the house in Rossington Road to collect his clothes and they all started talking and drinking. 'Pretty far-fetched' Mr Healy said as he went to leave several hours later, Miss Swift also asked Mr Kennedy to leave. \"He went upstairs and was taking his time leaving so I went up,\" said Mr Healy. \"Next thing he flew at me, attacked me and stabbed me in my hand. I grabbed his hand and then he sunk his teeth into my arm. Tara smacked him with an ashtray and he let go.\" Mr Healy said he punched Mr Kennedy four times before leaving the property with Miss Swift. Timothy Barnes, defending Miss Swift, asked: \"No-one but you three knew about the fight in Rossington Road. \"It is pretty far-fetched that some unknown third party just happens on that address, goes in to find a dead body, cuts it up and takes it to a shallow grave. So was it you, Miss Swift or a third party?\" \"I know for a fact it wasn't me,\" Mr Healy replied. \"He was alive when I left him. I have no idea how he died.\" Mr Barnes went on to suggest Mr Healy had worked alone to dismember the body and take it in a wheelie bin to an area between Rossington Road and Burrows Court. Mr Healy and Miss Swift also deny a second charge of perverting the course of justice between 17 July and 8 August by \"concealing or disposing\" of Mr Kennedy's body parts, which have never been recovered.

While their valuations have plummeted across the board, some stocks have seen their share prices rocket this week. On Tuesday, cinema chain Cineworld shot up almost 50% while cruise ship operator Carnival surged more than 20%. Cineworld, the world's second biggest cinema chain, announced bosses had waived salaries and bonuses as part of a survival plan to tackle coronavirus lockdowns. Admitting the current situation was \"extremely challenging\", Cineworld said it had scrapped a planned dividend to shareholders for the last quarter of 2019. But its share price shot up 49% on the London Stock Exchange despite its bleak outlook, with more than 780 cinemas closed across 10 countries. Another travel and leisure stock, cruise ship operator Carnival, also saw a big price rise on Tuesday, after Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund took a 8.2% stake in it. Carnival's share price rose 11% on the New York Stock Exchange and 22% on the London Stock Exchange. The cruise ship industry has been battered during the coronavirus pandemic with a number of outbreaks at sea raising concerns about the safety of cruise holidays. Carnival has cancelled a series of scheduled sailings for 2020 and said it may struggle with bookings for 2021. Given the dire outlook for the industry, experts are warning investors to tread cautiously when thinking these stocks have \"bottomed out\" and may be staging a recovery. \"Leisure and travel stocks are emerging from a deep and dark place,\" said Stephen Innes, global market strategist at AxiCorp. \"While people will return to cinemas, revenues may be slow to pick up as movie goers and the industry respects social distancing guidelines.\" After cinemas reopen, Mr Innes says they may continue to space out customers, which will reduce capacity and revenues. \"After all, the last thing a movie chain wants to get accused of is being the next super spreader epicentre\". Grounded planes Low-cost airline Easyjet saw it share price jump 15% on Tuesday, having secured a £600m coronavirus loan from the government. Some airlines are facing collapse as they are forced to ground planes while debts continue to mount. Easyjet's rescue package comes at the same time airline industry trade body IATA published research showing that some 25 million jobs are at risk of disappearing with plummeting demand for air travel during the crisis. \"Many questions remain as to just how eager travellers are willing to board the confines of an airplane cabin even after the pandemic subsides,\" added Mr Innes. The pan-European Stoxx 600 shares index rose 1.7% on Tuesday, with travel and leisure stocks rising 6.2%. \"People are trying to identify risks and opportunities now, and at last they believe they can better identify them,\" said Bruce Pang, head of macro and strategy research at China Renaissance Securities. \"But the virus is still the greatest known unknown for the markets and for financial professionals.\" Analysts are warning it may take longer for consumption to get back on track across all sectors, not just travel and leisure. \"In short, it's still bad for airlines, bad for international hotels and slightly positive for domestic leisure activities. But still too early to say when the lockdown or social distancing rules will be relaxed,\" said Iris Pang, chief economist for Greater China at ING bank. Even when restrictions are lifted, demand \"could be slow to gain traction due to psychological scars, defaults, bankruptcies, and job losses,\" added Mr Pang.",

The group said the change to the legal system would \"not in itself end food insecurity\". But it would mean the government and other public bodies had \"a duty to ensure everyone has secure access to adequate and affordable food\". The Scottish government said it wanted to create a sustainable solution to tackling food poverty across Scotland. The proposition would mean the Scottish government being open to legal challenge on how well it was implementing food policies and resources. Other recommendations accepted by the government include introducing a system to measure food security in Scotland, and calling on the UK government to help reduce the risk of sanctions and benefit delays in the welfare system. The charity Trussell Trust has reported a rise in the use of food banks in recent years, with problems with benefits identified as the most significant reason for the increase. 'Symptom of wider poverty' The working group was set up by Scottish ministers in October 2015 to examine food insecurity and poverty. Equalities secretary Angela Constance said: \"We have been very clear - no one should have to rely on emergency food provision in a country as prosperous as Scotland. \"As the report from the working group highlighted, food poverty is a symptom of wider poverty and the UK government's harmful welfare cuts and benefit sanctions regime has clearly pushed more and more people into an income crisis, increasing the demand for emergency food. \"We want to create a sustainable solution to tackling food poverty across Scotland, and therefore I am committed to exploring a range of options, including looking into potentially enshrining the right to food into Scots Law. \"We will continue to work closely with individual projects to help them develop sustainable solutions to tackle food poverty. \"This means not only giving people opportunities to access fresh and healthy food, but to share a meal in the community and develop new skills, helping achieve a longer-term solution to food poverty.\"",

Council leader Roger Gough said lorry parking problems were likely to worsen after the Brexit transition period ends. The temporary powers will be in place for the first six months of 2021. The announcement was made at a Kent County Council meeting on Thursday, but the Road Haulage Association (RHA) criticised the measures as \"totally unfair and unreasonable\". The enforcement will focus on the county's major roads including in Ashford, Canterbury, Dover, Folkestone and Hythe, Maidstone, Swale and Thanet. 'Deterrent' Mr Gough said anti-social lorry parking was already a problem but he hoped the temporary powers would act as a \"deterrent\" to ensure \"key routes on Kent's road network are kept clear\". The council's director of highways, Simon Jones, said lorry drivers on short statutory breaks will be exempt from any enforcement and that the authority will take \"a reasonable but targeted approach\". It comes as the EU announced contingency plans in case of the possible collapse of Brexit trade talks with the UK. The RHA said: \"We estimate there is an 11,000-space shortage for truck drivers to park up legally nationally. \"These fines mean drivers will be displaced out of Kent and into somewhere else like Sussex and Essex.\" The council said it was arranging contracts to ensure patrolling within the seven boroughs.

A zombie seagull appeared in a \"spot\" for the fifth Pirates of the Caribbean film, Dead Men Tell No Tales. And Netflix revealed the next Stranger Things series will debut at Halloween. There were also starry product adverts featuring Justins Bieber and Timberlake and Wonder Woman's Gal Gadot. Here's a breakdown of some of the treats that TV viewers in the US and Canada saw. Stranger Things Though not officially trailing a movie release, Netflix's promo for the second series of its 1980s sci-fi series is already generating blockbuster levels of excitement. Beginning with footage from a vintage waffle commercial, the teaser features the show's juvenile heroes dressed as Ghostbusters and a brief glimpse of a giant spider creature. The adverts ends with a giant \"2\" appearing over the Stranger Things logo, followed by the single word \"Halloween\". \"I am STUPID excited about Stranger Things going Full Lovecraft,\" wrote one excited Twitter user. A submarine, a tank and a giant wrecking ball add up to a whole lot of mayhem in the promo for the eighth Fast and the Furious film. The \"big game spot\" also sees cars tumble out of buildings, plunge underwater and race through New York's Times Square. Charlize Theron, Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson and Britain's Jason Statham all feature in a promo that promises \"the rules have changed\" this time around. Not so much, though, to preclude a leering shot of young ladies' gyrating bottoms. Fleetwood Mac's The Chain provides a propulsive backdrop to the trailer for the latest offering from the Marvel Studios. It begins with a new character - played by The Night Manager's Elizabeth Debicki - asking: \"Just who in the hell do you think you are?\" The promo then sets about re-introducing Chris Pratt's Star Lord, Zoe Saldana's Gamora and the rest of the film's band of unconventional superheroes. Just in case we don't get the message, Bradley Cooper's Rocket Racoon rams it home by announcing: \"Welcome to the frickin' Guardians of the Galaxy!\" The late Johnny Cash is the unseen star here, growling his posthumous version of Ain't No Grave (Can Hold My Body Down). It's a fitting accompaniment to a trailer that features zombie sailors walking on water, zombie sharks marauding beneath it and the aforementioned undead seagull. Johnny Depp - caked in mud and carrying a bottle of rum - makes a relatively late appearance as Captain Jack Sparrow. Confusingly, the fifth instalment in the series will be released on these shores as Pirates of the Caribbean: Salazar's Revenge. You wouldn't normally expect a trailer for a Transformers film to begin with Sir Anthony Hopkins musing on the giant robots' origins. \"You want to know, don't you? Why they keep coming here - to Earth,\" his sepulchral tones intone, accompanied by a ghostly chorister. It's not long, though, before things default to more traditional scenes of helicopters exploding, automatons duelling and Mark Wahlberg firing a rocket launcher. According to director Michael Bay: \"There's never been a Transformers film with the huge visual scope and expansive mythology as this movie.\" \"While you're watching the game, they are watching the bay!\" growls the voiceover to the promo to the spin-off to the TV series. The self-referential tone continues with a character looking at an approaching blonde woman and wondering: \"Why does she always look like she's running in slo-mo?\" But the biggest gag is saved to the end when Zac Efron rips off some tracksuit bottoms, revealing a pair of briefs adored with the American flag. \"What are you wearing?\" asks Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson - yes, him again - to which Efron responds: \"Freedom!\" Follow us on Facebook, on Twitter @BBCNewsEnts, or on Instagram at bbcnewsents.

            "input": "By Frank GardnerBBC security correspondent Wind the clock back to November 2008 and the answer was - almost totally unprepared. Over a near two-day period, a 10-man cell of heavily-armed jihadists from Pakistan carried out a prolonged massacre in the heart of India's commercial capital, Mumbai, killing 164 people. All over the world, police and counter-terrorism officials asked themselves the uncomfortable question: How would we cope if it happened here in our cities? In Britain there was a realisation that the police would probably be so outgunned that they would likely have to call in military assistance. Terrorism 'most immediate threat to UK' Threat 'at highest since 1970s IRA plots' Major counter-terrorism exercise in London At the very least, there would be an unacceptably long time gap between the first shots being fired by terrorists and the threat from them being eliminated, during which time large numbers of hostages could quite possibly have been killed. The national security response was to massively \"up-gun\" the police response. New, mobile armouries were introduced with modern high-powered weapons in the back, capable of bringing concentrated firepower onto a terrorist target. A series of realistic exercises were staged across the country, codenamed \"Wooden Pride\", involving police firearms officers, snipers, SAS operatives and even lawyers. Participants were made to take part in mock law courts where they had to explain to a sceptical \"judge\" exactly why they had pulled the trigger at certain points during the exercise. Today, while patently nowhere is entirely safe from terrorist attack, the precautions put in place have dramatically changed the security environment in London and other cities. Anyone watching the horrific events in Westminster on 22 March could not fail to notice the speed of the armed police response. Within minutes of a car being deliberately driven into pedestrians on Westminster Bridge, and the assailant then running into the Palace of Westminster, the whole area was sealed off by heavily armed specialist firearms officers (SFOs) from the Metropolitan Police's Specialist Firearms Command. They were carrying a mixture of powerful, recently-acquired weapons comprising the Swiss-made Sig Sauer SG516 5.56mm Automatic Rifle, the MCX Carbine variant with its telescopic stock and red dot sight, and the Austrian-made Glock 17 Pistol, a lightweight 9mm 17-round handgun often seen strapped to the right-hand leg. Another weapon in the SFO's armoury is the German-made Heckler & Koch G36 Carbine. All of these weapons have been steadily replacing the older Heckler & Koch MP5 Carbines, a familiar sight at Heathrow Airport and often mistakenly called submachine guns, (they are configured to fire single shots, not bursts of automatic fire). The rapid response on 22 March was hardly surprising given that this attack took place in the heart of Whitehall. But throughout central London police Armed Response Vehicles (ARVs) are constantly patrolling, using BMW X5s with secured armouries in the back. In theory, these ARVs should never be more than eight minutes away from the scene of an incident. Similar arrangements exist in other major cities and regions across the country, such as the West Midlands. An even more specialised armed police unit involves Counter Terrorism Specialist Firearms Officers (CTSFOs), who reportedly arrived on the scene of the 22 March Westminster attack within six minutes. Originally formed for the London 2012 Olympics, they are recognisable by their grey uniforms, black Kevlar body armour, ballistic helmets, facemasks. goggles and Velcro patches bearing the CTSFO logo. They are trained to tackle a wide spectrum of terrorist and hostage situations, including fast-roping down from Eurocopter EC-145 helicopters, and are equipped with a range of specialist equipment. This includes pump-action shotguns, polycarbonate body shields, chainsaws, crowbars and motorbikes capable of speeds up to 140mph. But all of this \"physical\" response is, of course, only part of the picture in counter-terrorism. A major component of stopping attacks takes place out of public sight, much of it in cyberspace, a war waged daily by analysts and codebreakers at GCHQ and MI5. Tip-offs by the public have also been crucial. This week the National Police Chiefs Council revealed that in the last two months the police had received more than 3,000 tip-offs by the public about possible terrorist attacks. Forging that link between the police and communities has taken years of painstaking work in this country, with frequent setbacks, but in several other European countries it is almost non-existent. So without timely and accurate intelligence no amount of state-of-the-art hardware will prevent the next attack.",

He is leaving the position with \"great sadness\" but felt the time had come, at the age of 67, to move on and \"be thankful for what I have been able to achieve\". \"I've tried to expand the role of coroner from its traditional concept,\" said Mr Armstrong, who began as a deputy coroner within a solicitor's office in Tombland, Norwich, in 1986. \"We've tried to make the inquest process focussing on the needs of the family. \"I speak to them before the inquest starts, and we talk about the person who has died; their life as well their death.\" 'Absorb grief' Over the years, Mr Armstrong has conducted inquests in the solicitors' office on Tombland, in the magistrates' court and from what was the coroner's office in a former pub. Until quite recently, rooms were hired within the city's Assembly House, where the tinkle of tea cups and the restaurant's piano often created an unusual backdrop to the evidence. It was not until 2011 that Mr Armstrong was given his own coroner's court, which he believes has made a huge difference to the way inquests are conducted. He said he never pretends to understand people's grief, because \"no-one can understand\", but strives to conduct inquests with \"care, sensitivity and compassion\". The coroner's service in Norfolk also has a volunteer support service and the only coroner's chaplain in England and Wales. \"What I have to remind myself all the time is that every situation is unique, every life is unique, every death is unique,\" he said. \"Also, people grieve in different ways, I've learned that. \"The best thing I can do is be there with people, to sit alongside people, to absorb their grief as far as I can and to listen to their stories.\" Power to change He said he copes with the constant reminder of death by reflecting on each case. \"People often ask me, 'is it depressing?', but it's not. \"One is all the time dealing with tragedy; I don't deal with normal death, if I can use that expression, it's usually sudden, traumatic death. \"Sometimes it can be uplifting even but it is, of course, very sad. \"As you get older it makes you very aware of your own mortality. \"We hang on to life by quite a thin thread, We can be here today and gone tomorrow. \"I'm very conscious of how sudden death can affect people and how someone can go to work in the morning and not go home in the evening.\" Among the coroner's functions is the power to recommend changes which could help reduce further deaths. \"I've used that on a fairly regularly basis, and it can be very, very effective,\" he said. \"For example, quite often people receiving mental health care are not always given the appropriate treatment. \"There was a case some years ago of a young woman who died of anorexia. \"The report I made after that hearing led to major changes in the anorexia service in Norfolk. \"I hope I've been able to make a difference and bring about changes which have been useful and beneficial.\"",

He had a \"complete loss of temper\" according to the sentencing judge at Birmingham Crown Court. Former Aston Villa midfielder Calder, 22, was sacked by Inverness Caledonian Thistle when he was convicted. CCTV footage played at the trial showed Calder, of Druids Heath, Birmingham, confronting the woman in the car park of The Horseshoe pub in Maypole shortly after 04:00 BST on 7 May. In what the judge described as a \"repeated and sustained attack\", Calder rained punches through the victim's open window before kicking her. Calder was friends with the victim who he met up with at a club on 6 May. They agreed to go to another nightspot in separate vehicles, but the woman \"bumped into the defendant's car\", prosecutor Mark Phillips said. They pulled over in the pub car park where Calder aimed a punch at her through the open driver's side window. The woman reversed \"in a panic\" before driving forwards into the back of Calder's white Mercedes saloon, hitting it a second time. Calder then launched his assault on her, partially dragging the 24-year-old student nurse from her car and throwing her back into the driver's seat. Judge Mark Wall QC said Calder then left his victim \"alone at night on a car park\". The mother-of-one suffered two black eyes, cuts and bruises and a fractured thumb, which needed hospital treatment. Judge Wall said: \"I do not accept that her actions... were any justification for what was a complete and utter loss of temper. \"This is a lesson that can only be properly taught through immediate custody.\" Follow BBC West Midlands on Facebook, on Twitter, and sign up for local news updates direct to your phone.",

            "input": "By Matt McGrathEnvironment correspondent, BBC News The body, which regulates trade in flora and fauna, voted by a two-thirds majority to upgrade the sharks' status. Campaigners hailed the move as historic and said the vote represented a major breakthrough for marine conservation. The decisions can still be overturned by a vote on the final day of this meeting later this week. The oceanic whitetip, three varieties of hammerheads and the porbeagle are all said to be seriously threatened by overfishing. Their numbers have declined dramatically in recent years, as the trade in shark fins for soup has grown. Manta rays are killed for their gill plates which are used in Chinese medicine. Shark supporters have been attempting to get Cites to protect these species since 1994. But there has long been strong opposition to the move from China and Japan. But a number of factors have changed the arithmetic. Experts say the critical factor has been a shift in South American nations, who've come to understand that sharks are more valuable alive than dead. \"They've come to realise, particularly for those with hammerhead stocks, the tourist value of these species and the long term future that will be protected by a Cites listing,\" said Dr Colman O'Criodain from WWF International. Regulate, not ban While the vote to upgrade these shark species to Appendix 2 does not ban the trade, it regulates it. Both exporting and importing countries must issue licences. If a nation takes too many of these species, they can be hit with sanctions on the range of animal and plant products that are governed by Cites. As the votes went on there were smatterings of applause in the hall and some high fives among campaigners. \"It is really significant for Cites to come of age like this,\" Dr Susan Lieberman told BBC News. \"To say we can deal with these species, we can manage the international trade and lets not be afraid of marine species.\" The extension of the authority of Cites into the international trade in fish has long worried China and Japan and the Asian nations were strongly against these proposals. But many West African countries, who have seen their native shark fisheries destroyed by large offshore operations, voted in favour of the restrictions. Another factor was money. Especially cash from the European Union. The head of delegation told the meeting that extra money would be made available to help poorer countries change their fishing practices. \"If there's a need for it the funding will be available,\" Feargal O'Coigligh told the meeting. The amendments can still be overturned in the final session of this meeting. And this realisation is tempering the celebrations. \"Cites is ready to come of age for marine species, \" said Dr O'Criodain. \"As long as we hold these results in plenary. Maybe warm champagne is the right note.\" Follow Matt on Twitter.",

Derek Pyle, sheriff principal of Grampian, Highland and Islands, said he would make his determination in no more than four weeks. Passengers Sarah Darnley, 45, from Elgin, Gary McCrossan, 59, from Inverness, Duncan Munro, 46, from Bishop Auckland, and George Allison, 57, from Winchester, died. The helicopter hit the sea on its approach to Sumburgh, overturning and filling with water, but it did not sink as flotation devices were armed just in time. Mr Richardson said the Crown wished to apologise for the \"very very long time\" it had taken for the fatal accident inquiry to be held. He told the 12th and final day of the FAI the Crown position was the accident was caused because there was a failure to maintain the helicopter's target approach speed, and that failure arose because the flight instruments were not effectively monitored by the flight crew. He said: \"The Crown position is the principal cause was pilot error.\" Ranald Macpherson, for pilot Martin Miglans, said there was insufficient evidence to reach a conclusion about the reasons for the flight instruments not being effectively monitored. Gavin Anderson, for co-pilot Alan Bell, emphasised the actions of Mr Bell immediately before impact, when he armed the flotation devices.

He extended his personal sympathies to the families of the victims, and to the survivors. Sarah Darnley, Duncan Munro and George Allison drowned after the helicopter hit the water.

He said the two-year stalemate was \"not acceptable\" and he is trying to keep it at the forefront of public debate. Mr Quinn set out from Enniskillen at 09:00 GMT and hopes to arrive at Stormont on Monday afternoon. Northern Ireland's power-sharing coalition, led by the Democratic Unionist Party and Sinn Féin, fell apart on 9 January 2017 when the late Martin McGuinness resigned at the height of a green energy scandal. 'Not normal' BBC News NI caught up with Mr Quinn on Saturday, as he made his way along the roads of County Fermanagh. \"We are currently approaching our two-year landmark where we do not have a government in Northern Ireland,\" he said. \"It has become our normality here, but it's not normal and I think we have to keep undertaking actions in order to make sure that people are aware of that, that it's not acceptable from our political representatives.\" The 44-year-old father of four from Monea, just outside Enniskillen, has been campaigning on social media since last summer in a bid to end the deadlock at Stormont. He organised a number of rallies in August, when Northern Ireland surpassed Belgium for the ignominy of the longest period without a government in peacetime. 'Illegal parade' Several rounds of talks between Stormont's political parties have failed to revive power sharing, and civil servants have been running public services for the past two years. Mr Quinn said he was hoping to inspire Stormont's MLAs to \"move forward into 2019\" and like him, face up to their challenges. His own challenges to date include a sore right leg and a complaint to the police that his protest walk amounted to an illegal parade, because he had not notified the Parades Commission. \"I made the assumption that, because I was the only one taking the full journey, that this was not a parade, this was just walking from Enniskillen to Stormont,\" he explained. However, he subsequently submitted an application to the commission after taking advice from the Police Service of Northern Ireland. 'Pain' Mr Quinn said the illegal parade complaint was a \"really sad reflection on politics in Northern Ireland\" and believes the complainant may have \"felt threatened by what we were doing\". \"I can't think how anybody would think that this walk is any more of a threat than the lack of political representation here, that's what we should really be focussing on.\" Mr Quinn admitted that he is not yet sure what he will do when he gets to Stormont, but said that was not the point of his protest. \"It's really about the journey...it's about meeting the people on the way there, the different areas that I'm travelling through,\" he said. \"It's not just about what happens at Stormont but it's about what happens around Northern Ireland through the communities that I'm going through.\"",

Defend Lytham's Mike Hill said the package would \"pay for only a fraction of the loss suffered by homeowners\". Cuadrilla Resources, which has licences to test for gas in the county, said it could \"amount to millions per site\". The new guidelines, issued by the Department of Energy and Climate Change, came following a survey by the British Geological Survey of the potential volume of shale gas in the Bowland Basin. 'No guarantee' It found the basin, which stretches under Cheshire, Lancashire, Greater Manchester, Merseyside and Yorkshire, held an estimated 1,300 trillion cubic feet of shale gas - double previous estimates. Up to 10% of the gas could be extracted by fracking, a technique where water and chemicals are pumped into shale rock at high pressure to extract gas. Energy Minister Michael Fallon said the benefits would \"provide a welcome boost for communities who will host shale exploration and production, as well as offering strong assurances that operators will engage with them and work to the highest health, safety and environmental standards\". \"From money off bills, playgrounds, sports halls or regeneration schemes, people will see real and local advantages from shale gas production in their area,\" he added. Mr Hill, whose group works to preserve the \"special character\" of Lytham and St Annes, said residents were \"concerned on two counts\". 'What is community?' \"Firstly, the level of benefit proposed would go nowhere near compensating local homeowners for the level of financial loss that they might suffer as a result of fracking. \"Secondly, it is unclear what is meant by community. \"We understand that these sums might be paid at the county council level, so there is no guarantee that funds would even end up being directed at the communities who are affected.\" Lytham lies alongside one of four Cuadrilla's sites in the county, though the company have suspended all drilling in Lancashire until 2014. Chief executive Francis Egan said the company \"support the community benefits scheme\". \"Cuadrilla will commit to local communities 1% of the revenues from each producing site during the production phase. \"With success, this should amount to millions of pounds per individual production site, benefiting local communities.\"",

            "input": "By Leo KelionTechnology reporter Apple controversially replaced the search giant's mapping service with its own when it released its latest handset, the iPhone 5. The move was widely criticised after numerous mistakes were found in Apple Maps' search results. Google's app introduces functions previously restricted to Android devices. One analyst said it would prove popular, but added that Nokia still posed a challenge. The Finnish company recently launched its own free maps app for the iPhone. The firms are motivated in part by a desire to gather data automatically generated by handsets using their respective software, as well as users' own feedback. This allows them to fine-tune their services and improve the accuracy of features such as traffic status updates. Android's advantage Features Google has introduced that were not available in its earlier iPhone app include: Among the facilities Google's iPhone app lacks that are present in its Android equivalent are indoor maps, the ability to download maps for offline viewing, and voice search. However, over time, project manager Kai Hansen told the BBC that what was on one platform should be on the other. \"The goal is clearly to make it as unified and consistent an experience as possible,\" he said. Ground Truth One area Apple's own software still has an edge is its integration of Flyover which offers interactive photo-realistic views of selected cities using 3D-rendered graphics within its maps app. Google offers a similar facility via Google Earth which is promoted in its main maps app, but involves switching into a separate program. However, for many users the key feature will be the level of accuracy that Google offers. Since 2008, the firm's Ground Truth project has mashed together licensed data with information gathered by its own fleet of Street View cars and bicycles. The images and sensor data they collect are analysed by computers and humans to identify street signs, business names, road junctions and other key features. To date, more than five million miles (eight million km) of roads across 45 countries have been covered. This information is supplemented by the public filing their own reports. iPhone users are encouraged to do likewise by shaking their handsets to activate a feedback function. \"Google Maps, as much as any other map application, lives from the data that we receive,\" Mr Hansen explained. \"If a road is closed for the next six months, or a road was opened two days ago - these are things that somebody who lives next to the road immediately notices, but if you're not in the area it becomes hard to know. \"The more we can give you the ability to let us know about things that are changing on the map, the more other users will benefit from that corrected information.\" He added that once operators verify these reports, changes can be made \"within minutes, rather than hours\". Apple is also seeking to improve its own data through user feedback, but risks having less to work with if iPhone users switch to another product. There had been speculation Apple would reject Google's app from its store for this reason. But since iPhone sales are at the heart of Apple's fortunes, it may have felt it had more to lose than gain by allowing rival Android handsets to offer a popular app it lacked. 'Neutral' Nokia Google's launch will also have consequences for Nokia, which recently launched its own Here Maps app on iOS. The European firm's location division is decades older than Google's, and also has a strong reputation for accuracy. However, the Here app has had a shaky start with many users complaining about problems with its interface - a consequence of it being written in the HTML5 web language rather than as a native app, specifically for the iOS system. Even so, one telecoms analyst said it would be premature to write the company out of the game. \"I'm not convinced Nokia as a brand for maps will become a big thing in the consumer consciousness, but what I think is going to happen is that more businesses are going to quietly do deals with it for maps,\" said Ben Wood from CCS Insight. \"Because of the issues that Apple had, people have suddenly understood the importance of quality mapping and they may also say they don't want to go to Google as all of the data then runs through the search firm, strengthening it as a competitor. Nokia is more of a neutral partner. \"Amazon has already done a deal with Nokia on its Kindle tablets, and I wouldn't be surprised if RIM's new Blackberry devices and Facebook follow.\"",

            "input": "The deficit in the three months to December was £32.7bn, the equivalent of 7% of GDP in that quarter, said the Office for National Statistics (ONS). For all of 2015, it came to £96.2bn or 5.2% of annual GDP. Both figures were the highest since records began in 1948. A current account deficit means the value of imports of goods, services and investment income exceeds exports. At the same time, ONS figures showed the UK economy grew 0.6% in the fourth quarter of 2015, higher than previous estimates of 0.5%. As a result, the economy grew by 2.3% for the whole of 2015, rather than 2.2% as previously thought. The upgrade to the growth figure came as a surprise to analysts, who had forecast that it would remain unchanged. The ONS said the revision in GDP was caused by a stronger performance in the services sector and a smaller contraction in industrial production. Analysis: Andrew Verity, BBC economics correspondent Deficits are all about more money going out than coming in. Unlike the budget deficit, the one the government has pledged to wipe out by 2020, the current account refers to the country as a whole, private and public. It includes the trade deficit - the fact that we buy far more goods and services from other countries than we sell to them. But it also includes other payments, from the dividends that profitable companies such as Jaguar Land Rover send back to their foreign owners to the money paid to employees abroad by British companies. A note of caution: these numbers wobble around. Having said that, at £96.2bn, or 5.2% of the size of the whole economy (GDP), the current account deficit for 2015 was the biggest deficit on record, the largest for 67 years. Here's the problem. If more money is flowing out than flowing in, companies and governments have to borrow from abroad to make up the difference. That's fine, so long as there's confidence in the UK's economic future. Companies can borrow by issuing bonds, paying modest rates of interest (as can governments) and foreign investors will gobble them up. But if confidence takes a knock - if, for example, there's a sterling crisis or other economic shock - then those foreign investors may be a little more reluctant to buy those bonds. In which case, those foreign investors may demand higher interest rates, which may well get passed on. Now can anyone think of any scenarios like that? Stability fears Earlier this week, the Bank of England's Financial Policy Committee warned that uncertainty over the UK's membership of the EU posed risks to financial stability, with implications for the current account deficit. It has said it will watch for indications that the outcome of the referendum on 23 June could make it more difficult to finance the deficit. The ONS said the deficit had widened because income from the UK's direct investments abroad had fallen, while payments to foreign investors in the UK had risen. Chancellor George Osborne said the rise in the current account deficit meant the UK should not be contemplating leaving the EU. \"Today's figures expose the real danger of economic uncertainty and show that now is precisely not the time to put our economic security at risk by leaving the EU,\" he said. 'Horrible' figures Howard Archer, chief UK and European economist at IHS Global Insight, described the fourth-quarter current account figures as \"truly horrible\" and \"a particularly uncomfortable development for the UK economy\". \"While the markets have so far taken a relatively relaxed view of the UK's elevated current account deficits, it could become an increasing problem if the markets lose confidence in the UK economy for any reason - especially given the size of the fourth-quarter 2015 shortfall,\" he added. \"This would make it harder for the UK to attract the investment inflows that it needs to finance the current account deficit and could weigh heavily down on sterling. \"An obvious potential trigger for the markets losing confidence in the UK economy could be a vote to leave the EU in the 23 June referendum.\" However, Matthew Elliott, chief executive of Vote Leave, said: \"These figures blow a hole in the Remain campaign's key tactic: to do down Britain and wrongly suggest that we can't get a free trade deal after we say no to Brussels. \"It is in the EU's interests to strike a deal with the UK, which is why they will be banging down the door for one when we vote Leave.\"",

The donation will fund a new faculty for the humanities. The UK government said it was a \"globally significant\" investment in Britain. Governments 'utterly unprepared' At a time when universities face uncertainty over research funding because of Brexit, this is a major financial coup for the University of Oxford. Mr Schwarzman, the chief executive of the private equity firm Blackstone, is one of America's best known billionaires. In the past, his lavish lifestyle as a Wall Street financier has attracted criticism, but more recently he has also become a major donor to education. Mr Schwarzman told the BBC he was giving the money to Oxford because artificial intelligence was the major issue of our age. \"At the moment, most governments are utterly unprepared to deal with this, and why would they be, it's a different type of technology,\" he said. \"They're going to have to rely on great universities like Oxford, and others around the world who specialise in helping them think this through.\" Mr Schwarzman said universities needed to help construct an ethical framework for changes that were happening rapidly. Some economists have warned the expansion of artificial intelligence could have a significant impact on society - including the loss of jobs due to automation - in what is sometimes called the \"fourth industrial revolution\". Academics have also raised concerns about the potential for malicious use in cyber warfare and the subverting of democracy. The donation by Mr Schwarzman to Oxford follows a $350m (£279m) gift he made to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to establish a centre for computing and artificial intelligence. The study of the ethics of AI at Oxford will be in a new humanities centre, bringing together subjects from languages to philosophy. Mr Schwarzman said it was \"important for people to remember what being human is\". \"Why are we here? What are your values? How does technology deal and interact with that. \"We should want it to be positive and productive for society, and technology can't be allowed to just do whatever it wants because it can. \" Accepting large donations is not without risk for institutions if controversy emerges later. Prof Louise Richardson, the vice-chancellor of the University of Oxford, said all philanthropic gifts were reviewed to make sure they fitted with its values. \"The margin of excellence requires more than we can expect from public funding, so philanthropy is going to become more important for Oxford and other universities,\" she said. The new building will also create a concert hall and other public spaces. Universities Minister Chris Skidmore said: \"Pushing the boundaries of knowledge and conquering new innovations are what our universities are known for across the world. And attracting this globally significant investment reinforces our reputation as a leader in higher education. \"More importantly, disciplines within humanities enrich our culture and society and have an immeasurable impact on our health and wellbeing. \"Not only do I look forward to the benefits this can bring to students but the prospect of transforming the world we live in.\" The gift to Oxford comes a few months after hedge-fund billionaire David Harding donated £100m to Cambridge University.",

But researchers warn that a break in the temperature-CO2 increase ratio could trigger mortality in forests. The findings appear in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. \"Nobody had really considered incorporating the ability of trees, the forests, to adjust to novel conditions and to acclimate,\" explained co-author John Sperry from the University of Utah. \"So it felt like we were bringing in two new approaches to this longstanding question of whether CO2 or warming were going to play out in the future.\" Delicate balancing act Higher levels of atmospheric CO2 allow trees to consume relatively less water and photosynthesise more, whereas increased temperatures result in trees consuming more water and photosynthesising less. Using a unique model that took into account the trees' physiology, Prof Sperry and his colleagues reached a rather surprising conclusion. \"What's interesting is that it is not the magnitude of the CO2 increase or the magnitude of the warming, it was the ratio of the two,\" he told BBC News. \"For example, it was interesting to see that the low emissions scenario is actually predicted to be closer to the tipping point; closer to the critical ratio than the higher emissions scenario. \"That's simply because in the lower emissions scenario, the ratio of CO2 increase for warming is lower.\" Co-author Martin Venturas said the team did not find many differences between species in the study, which covered 20 locations across the mainland of the US, and included both deciduous and conifer species. But Dr Venturas added: \"There is still a huge amount of uncertainty, despite the fact that we have reduced uncertainty related to the physiology of the forest.\" One such uncertainty, he explained, was precipitation levels in a changing climate and how this change affected soil moisture levels. However, the researchers said the study findings helped move the debate forward. \"If you were coming at this naively, you would think the more emissions, the worse the forest was going to be affected because it was going to get warmer,\" observed Prof Sperry. \"But it is really the ratio of the two that is important. You can have a massive shift in CO2 and warming but as long as they travel along that neutral ratio, the force is physiologically neutral and you'll have no response.\"",

In July, her successor Ken Skates said a revised proposal of 75% backing was still \"unacceptable\", asking developers to ensure the private sector took at least 50% of the risk. Welsh Conservative leader Andrew RT Davies then wrote to Mr Skates, raising concerns about the effectiveness of grants and loans already made by ministers to HOTVDC. Mr Skates replied saying a property grant of £2m had been paid to the firm between December 2012 and February 2013. He added that \"a loan provided by the company's bankers was in part underwritten by a Welsh Government guarantee. \"A payment of £7.334m was made to the bank under that guarantee in May 2016. No monies have been paid direct by Welsh Government to Aventa Capital Partners.\" A Welsh Government spokesman said the bank \"served a demand\" on the government for the money. \"This loan enabled the company to develop a detailed business plan and to identify suitable private funding sources,\" he added. \"The loan guarantee expired on 8 April 2016 and no other payment has or will be made to the bank under the loan guarantee.\" Mr Davies said: \"The Circuit of Wales is a fantastic opportunity not only for the South Wales Valleys, but for Wales more generally, and yet this latest revelation casts more doubt over whether the Welsh Government has picked the right company to carry this vital project forward. \"In light of this latest revelation, one really has to ask why it was unable to pay its creditors. \"Given so many millions of pounds in public money has already been spent on the project, the Welsh Government must reveal if it is a guarantor to any more outstanding loans. \"It is vital that the government sees this project through to the end, but it is equally vital that the public receives assurances over how effectively its money is being spent and whether the project will in the long run bear any fruit.\" An HOTVDC spokesman said \"nothing here is new\", and the £7m loan guarantee had been made public earlier this year. He added: \"The payment ensured that work on this project which, on completion, will provide significant economic opportunities to all of Wales, moved ahead. \"On successful financial completion this sum will be repaid to the Welsh Government with interest.\"",

The assessment says there are about 7,500 people in the UVF and 5,000 in the UDA. Although many are not active, sources say they are still \"card carrying\" members. Last month, the Independent Reporting Commission (IRC) warned paramilitary groups still pose a \"clear and present danger\" to Northern Ireland. Set up by the UK and Irish governments, the Commission provides an annual assessment of progress towards ending paramilitarism, and has called for a process to begin to disband the groups. History of the UVF The Ulster Volunteer Force murdered more than 500 people during the Troubles in Northern Ireland. It was formed in 1966 and adopted the names and symbols of the original UVF, the movement founded in 1912 by Sir Edward Carson to fight against Home Rule. The UVF was formed with the express intention of executing known IRA men. But its first victims, a Protestant woman and two Catholic men, had no connections with the IRA. The murder of Peter Ward, the third victim, brought the UVF and its then leader Gusty Spence to public attention. Spence was later convicted of the murder and sentenced to 20 years in prison. The UVF was involved in various atrocities during the Troubles, including the bombing of McGurk's Bar in Belfast, the sectarian killings of the Shankill Butchers, and the Loughinisland massacre. It has also been embroiled in feuds with other paramilitary organisations including the LVF and the UDA. Only last year, a former leader of the Progressive Unionist Party Dawn Purvis said the UVF had not gone anywhere despite decommissioning its weapons in 2009. In recent years, it has been linked to serious criminality including drug dealing. That recommendation is now backed by former Secretary of State Lord Mandelson. He has spoken to Spotlight about talks he was involved in with the UVF leadership, earlier this year. The leaked threat assessment says the Provisional IRA still exists; there are now a dozen paramilitary groups - more than during the Troubles - and seven of these groups are dissident republican. History of the UDA The Ulster Defence Association, formed in 1971, had tens of thousands of members at its peak. It killed hundreds of people during the Troubles in Northern Ireland and often claimed responsibility for sectarian murders using the cover name the Ulster Freedom Fighters (UFF). The UDA had remained a legal organisation until it was banned in August 1992. Notorious attacks by the UFF included the shooting dead of five Catholics at a Belfast bookmakers in 1992 and the Greysteel massacre the following year. A former high-profile leader of the UFF is Johnny Adair, who was released from prison in 2005 after serving two thirds of a 16-year sentence for directing terrorism on behalf of the organisation. He had been expelled by the UDA in 2002 and later left NI following a loyalist feud, after his Shankill Road power base crumbled. In November 2007, the UDA issued a statement saying \"the war is over\". It later said it had stood down the UFF and all UFF weapons were being put \"beyond use\", but that did not mean they would be decommissioned. In 2018, the then PSNI Chief Constable George Hamilton said members of the UDA and UVF were still involved in organised crime. There have been threats this year to journalists and politicians following stories about the South East Antrim UDA's criminal activities in the Sunday World and Sunday Life newspapers. Earlier this week, the West Belfast UDA were reported to have made threats against two journalists working for the Sunday World newspaper in NI. This is the first full assessment to emerge publicly, since 2015, when the British Government set out the position with all the different groups, following the IRA murder of Belfast man Kevin McGuigan. At that time, the Stormont Executive almost collapsed but was saved by the assessment which said the Provisional IRA was wholly committed to the political process. The new assessment says this is still the position and the IRA is in a much-reduced form and not recruiting or training. But it also says the organisation still has access to weapons. 'There can be no naivety' Democratic Unionist Party MP Gavin Robinson said his party were mindful of the situation. \"There can be no naivety around that,\" he said. \"We know that has been the situation for decades. we know at the time of 2015, the security assessment highlighted a commitment to the democratic institutions and a whole commitment to politics but we have to keep our eyes wide open.\" A Sinn Féin spokesperson again insisted \"the IRA is gone, has left the stage and is not coming back\".

What once was glacier has been reduced to a small patch of ice atop a volcano. Prime Minister Katrin Jakobsdottir, Environment Minister Gudmundur Ingi Gudbrandsson and former Irish President Mary Robinson attended the ceremony. After opening remarks by Ms Jakobsdottir, mourners walked up the volcano northeast of the capital Reykjavik to lay a plaque which carries a letter to the future. \"Ok is the first Icelandic glacier to lose its status as glacier,\" it reads. \"In the next 200 years all our main glaciers are expected to follow the same path. This monument is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. \"Only you know if we did it.\" The dedication, written by Icelandic author Andri Snaer Magnason, ends with the date of the ceremony and the concentration of carbon dioxide in the air globally - 415 parts per million (ppm). \"You think in a different time scale when you're writing in copper rather than in paper,\" Mr Magnason told the BBC. \"You start to think that someone actually is coming there in 300 years reading it. \"This is a big symbolic moment,\" he said. \"Climate change doesn't have a beginning or end and I think the philosophy behind this plaque is to place this warning sign to remind ourselves that historical events are happening, and we should not normalise them. We should put our feet down and say, okay, this is gone, this is significant.\" Oddur Sigurdsson is the glaciologist at the Icelandic Meteorological Office who pronounced Okjokull's death in 2014. He has been taking photographs of the country's glaciers for the past 50 years, and noticed in 2003 that snow was melting before it could accumulate on Okjokull. \"Eventually I thought it was so low that I wanted to go up there and check myself. I did that in 2014,\" he said. \"The glacier was not moving - it was not thick enough to stay alive. We call that dead ice.\" The glaciologist explains that when enough ice builds up, the pressure forces the whole mass to move. \"That's where the limit is between a glacier and not a glacier,\" he says. \"It needs to be 40 to 50 metres thick to reach that pressure limit.\" An Icelandic broadcaster accompanied Mr Sigurdsson to the glacier in 2014 to report the death of Okjokull. But the glaciologist says it \"did not stir up very much attention\". \"I was a little surprised because this glacier was visible from densely inhabited areas and a good part of the Icelandic ring road,\" he said. \"It was also known to most kids because of its peculiar name and place on maps.\" Enter anthropologists Cymene Howe and Dominic Boyer. The two professors from Rice University in Texas made a documentary about the loss of the glacier called Not Ok in 2018, and came up with the idea of a memorial during filming. \"Here was this really important story about this glacier that tells us something about the catastrophic changes we're seeing all around glacial basins everywhere on the planet and yet the story wasn't very well known,\" Dr Howe told the BBC. \"So part of the reason we wanted to make the movie was to get some more visibility for the phenomenon. And the plaque kind of followed in those footsteps.\" \"People felt this was a real loss, and that it deserved some kind of memorial,\" Dr Boyer said. \"Plaques recognise things that humans have done, accomplishments, great events. The passing of a glacier is also a human accomplishment - if a very dubious one - in that it is anthropogenic climate change that drove this glacier to melt. \"It's not the first glacier in the world to melt - there have been many others, certainly many smaller glacial masses - but now that glaciers the size of Ok are beginning to disappear, it won't be long before the big glaciers, the ones whose names are well recognised, will come under threat.\" Glaciers have great cultural significance in Iceland and beyond. Snaefellsjokull, a glacier-capped volcano in the west of the country, is where characters in Jules Verne's science fiction novel Journey to the Centre of the Earth found a passage to the core of the planet. That glacier is now also receding. \"My generation had to learn by heart the names of the most significant mountains, moors, fjords,\" Mr Magnason explained. \"So culturally it's also referring back to childhood textbooks. \"The world that we learned how it was, learned by heart as some kind of eternal fact, is not a fact any more.\" Mr Sigurdsson made an inventory of Icelandic glaciers in the year 2000, finding there were just over 300 scattered across the island. By 2017, 56 of the smaller glaciers had disappeared. \"150 years ago no Icelander would have bothered the least to see all the glaciers disappear,\" he said, as they advanced over farmlands and flooded whole areas with melt waters and streams. \"But since then, while the glaciers were retreating, they are looked at as a beautiful thing, which they definitely are. \"The oldest Icelandic glaciers contain the entire history of the Icelandic nation,\" he added. \"We need to retrieve that history before they disappear.\"",

They continued their friendship after Mr Obama left office in 2017.

Drew Fagan, a professor of public policy at the Munk School of Global Affairs, said the endorsement was \"unusual\". \"There is a tradition of non-intervention,\" he said. \"The sensitivity in this case is because our ties are so close and yet the power imbalance is so great.\" Mr Fagan says he cannot think of a president or former president endorsing a Canadian candidate, although President Clinton did give a forceful speech against Quebec separatism in Ottawa in 1995. Mr Obama is very popular in Canada, and his endorsement could make a real impact on this close race, he says. \"Obama himself now could become an issue in this campaign,\" he said.

But Dr Phil Stone of the Richard III Society said \"Would we build on Passchendaele?\" and a protest petition has had nearly 15,000 signatures. Members of the planning committee voted 12 to 5 in favour of the track. Councillors had been advised to pass the plan on the second time of asking. The committee deferred making a decision on the controversial scheme last month in the hope the applicant could rethink some of the design. Historic England had told Hinckley and Bosworth Council it could cause harm to the significance of the Bosworth Battlefield. The council said the site was not within a conservation area and would contribute significantly to the economy. The Battle of Bosworth took place on 22 August 1485, and saw the death of Richard III, whose remains were eventually found beneath a Leicester car park in 2012. Horiba Mira wants to build an \"autonomous vehicle testing track\" on 34 hectares (84 acres) of land next to its existing testing centre, which is partly within the battlefield site. About 25 vehicles, including cars, buses, trucks, military vehicles and construction machinery, could use the facility every day. But the plans, which planners had recommended councillors approve at a meeting on Tuesday evening, faced substantial opposition. As well as the criticisms by Historic England, The Battlefield Trust said: \"It is one of the most important battlefields in England and its preservation should be of high priority for everyone\". Dr Stone added: \"This an almost untouched battlefield, which saw one of the most dramatic episodes in British history. Would you treat Hastings like this? It is irreplaceable. \"People say it is only a small part of the battlefield but this is where Henry Tudor entered and close to where Richard tried to kill him. \"If this area is lost, will it set a precedent? Will it be more next time?\" On Twitter, those opposed to the plans had been calling for support, with @andysargent saying \"Hoping Hinckley and Bosworth borough council see sense and deny any development\". Along with the petition, more than 450 letters of objection had been sent to the council.

            "input": "Jeffrey Barry stabbed neighbour Kamil Ahmad at their supported flats in Bristol in July 2016, hours after his release from a secure mental hospital. Barry was detained after hearing voices and threatening to murder Mr Ahmad. The report said the decision to release him had \"tragic consequences\". The legal team representing Mr Ahmad's family said the report \"lays bare the crisis within the NHS and the social care system\". In a statement, Kamaran Ahmad Ali said it confirmed the family's \"worst fears\" that his brother's life \"could have been saved\". A review by the Bristol Safeguarding Adults Board (BSAB) found information sharing between Avon and Wiltshire Mental Health Partnership (AWP) and the psychiatric hospital where Barry was an inpatient had \"failed due to the absence of key personnel due to annual leave\". It said systems \"should have been robust enough\" to have contingency plans for when \"a key professional is absent from work\". The report also found that racism rather than Barry's complex mental health conditions was at the root of his victimisation of Mr Ahmad. \"He was a person with racist views who was mentally ill rather than a mentally ill person whose racism was a manifestation of their illness,\" it said. \"These views crystallised into a personal hatred [of Mr Ahmad] that was based on his race and legal status.\" Barry is now serving at least 23 years at Broadmoor secure hospital after being found guilty of murdering Mr Ahmad in a \"savage and sustained\" attack, in which he sliced off the Kurdish refugee's penis. The judge described the failures leading to his release as being \"nothing short of calamitous\". Because of bed shortages, Barry was moved from the Callington Road NHS psychiatric hospital to the privately-run Cygnet Health Care Hospital in Kewstoke, north Somerset. He did not want to stay and asked for his case to be reviewed but his NHS care team were only given 24 hours' notice to compile their notes for the independent mental health review tribunal. But the safeguarding report found the decision to discharge him had been \"based on incomplete information\" and had \"foreshortened his compulsory treatment\". It said the tribunal had not followed the \"recommendations of the professionals involved\" or appreciated the \"inherent risk\" of his return to the supported flats. The report also detailed a lack of face-to-face planning for Barry's release. Each of the agencies \"recognised\" this problem but the meetings \"did not take place\". During this time, Barry's care coordinator \"effectively lost management oversight\" of his case and when he transferred to the privately-run Kewstoke hospital, the assumption was made that he would transfer back to an AWP facility before his release was considered. The report found this assumption was partially down to overwork and \"other conflicting workload responsibilities\". But a lack of \"professional curiosity\" from workers at Kewstoke, who faxed and emailed details of Barry's case to the care coordinator and did not get a response, also contributed to his early release. Analysis BBC West home affairs correspondent Charlotte Callen Today's report highlights the failures to assess the risk Barry posed in the days and weeks leading up to Kamil Ahmad's death. Barry's medical notes - that he gave us permission to view - show his extensive psychiatric history was not provided to an independent tribunal who agreed he should be released from hospital. According to Jeffrey Barry's legal team it is not just Kamil Ahmad who's been failed. They told me they question whether the decision to release him was made as a result of costs and lack of bed space as opposed to clinical and mental health considerations. The report today concludes Kamil's death could have been avoided if Jeffrey Barry had received better care. That will be of little comfort to either Kamil's family or the families of at least 15 other people killed by patients under the care of AWP since 2007. The housing organisation looking after Barry, the Milestone Trust, also viewed his release as a \"fait accompli\". This led to there being a failure of any \"effective discharge process\" meaning Barry was allowed to leave hospital after 23 days with \"no meaningful handover\" between the hospital and other agencies. Chair of BSAB Louise Lawton said the report had \"identified opportunities\" which could have been taken to separate Mr Ahmad and Barry. \"Of particular consequence is the process by which [Barry] was discharged from a secure hospital on the day of Kamil's murder, how agencies worked together to coordinate care and assess risk, and opportunities to terminate [Barry's] tenancy at the housing provision,\" she said. \"Whilst nothing can make up for the loss that Kamil's family have suffered, I hope that the review's recommendations will help to safeguard other adults at risk of harm in the future.\" Tony Murphy, who is representing Mr Ahmad's family, said Barry had told a \"myriad of public authorities\" involved in his care that he wanted to kill Kamil. \"Yet, despite having weeks to do so, not one of those authorities made any plan to protect Kamil's life,\" he said. Mr Ahmad's brother, Mr Ali, called on the agencies involved to \"sit down\" with his family, apologise and answer their questions. \"This report confirms our worst fears, that Kamil's life could have been saved if just one of the organisations involved had protected him from the racism that ended his life,\" he said. \"The space this leaves in our lives can never be filled, yet not one of the organisations involved has offered us an apology.\" Rebecca Eastley, from AWP, said it accepted the findings of the report \"in its entirety\". \"This was a tragic and brutal death and we are deeply sorry,\" she said. \"We are committed to doing all we can to prevent such an incident happening in the future.\" Cygnet Health Care said the only aspect of its services that had needed addressing was its \"discharge procedures\".

Richard Farnell, who was also leader at the time, said it \"was not brought to the attention of elected officials\". Council and police investigations into the abuse allegations are continuing. Mr Farnell, who led the council in the late 80s and early 90s, was reinstalled as leader at a Labour group meeting on Monday evening. Responding to the claims made by Mr Shepherd that his report from the 1990s had been \"suppressed\", the council leader said: \"I can categorically say, that at no time when I was leader , was I given sight of any documents, letters or reports concerning these allegations.\" \"As far as I can ascertain, it was a professional standards issue that was dealt with by council officers and was not brought to the attention of elected officials.\" Mr Shepherd visited the Knowl View School in Rochdale in 1991 and is to give evidence to the independent inquiry set up by the council. He said he was told boys as young as eight were working as prostitutes while others had been \"forced\" to have sex. 'Hillsborough-type inquiry' The independent inquiry is investigating whether Rochdale Council could have done more and is being run separately to a police investigation, which began in April, into allegations of abuse and a possible cover-up at the school. Rochdale MP Simon Danczuk said he \"had concerns\" about the council inquiry. He added that he and other MPs, including Tom Watson and Zac Goldsmith, had written to Home Secretary Theresa May on Tuesday asking for a \"larger overarching inquiry similar to what went on in relation to Hillsborough\". \"We know that people knew about these crimes and as far as we can tell, did nothing about it,\" he said. \"Council officers clearly knew about it, Greater Manchester Police were made aware of this report, there were politicians that were made aware of what had been going on [but] did nothing.\" Asked about documents seen by the BBC detailing abuse allegations at the school, Ch Supt Russ Jackson of Greater Manchester Police said they would now \"be treated very differently and prompt a very different response\". Solicitor Alan Collins, who represents two Knowl View victims, said he hoped \"the full story emerges and the truth is fully understood\". \"One way or the other, this report fell under the radar and we need to know whether this was deliberate, inadvertent or is there some other explanation?\" He added that the victims \"want those who were in positions of authority to say they accept that this has happened, this is why it happened and this is where the system let you down\".

            "input": "Khan, 28, was wearing a GPS police tag and was out of prison on licence when he launched his attack, in which a man and a woman were killed and three others were injured. Khan was shot dead by officers after members of the public restrained him. The Queen said she was \"saddened\" by the attack. She thanked the emergency services \"as well as the brave individuals who put their own lives at risk to selflessly help and protect others\". Police declared the attack a terrorist incident. Khan was known to the authorities, having been convicted for terrorism offences in 2012. He was released from prison on licence in December 2018, Met Police Assistant Commissioner Neil Basu said. As part of his release conditions, Khan was obliged to take part in the government's desistance and disengagement programme - the purpose of which is the rehabilitation of people who have been involved in terrorism. The Parole Board said it had no involvement in the 28-year-old's release, saying he \"appears to have been released automatically on licence (as required by law)\". After leaving prison he had moved into a Stafford property on the \"approved premises\" list. Prisoner rehabilitation The attack began at 13:58 GMT on Friday at Fishmongers' Hall, at the north end of London Bridge, at a Cambridge University conference on prisoner rehabilitation. The Learning Together scheme, which featured in the BBC's Law in Action programme earlier this year, allows university students and prisoners to study alongside each other. Khan had been one of dozens of people at the event. Mr Basu said the attack is understood to have started inside the building, before continuing onto London Bridge itself, where Khan was shot by armed officers. Police are carrying out a search, believed to be linked to the attack, at flats in Stafford, close to the town centre. Staffordshire Police's Deputy Ch Con, Nick Baker, said it was \"vitally important everyone remains alert but not alarmed\". Mr Basu added police were not actively seeking anyone else in relation to the attack, although they were making \"fast time enquiries\" to make sure there was no outstanding threat to the public. The Met Police is urging anyone with information - particularly anyone who was at Fishmongers' Hall - to contact them. Shock and disbelief at search site Ben Perrin, BBC News Online Staffordshire There is a general feeling of shock and disbelief here in Stafford, where a top floor flat is being searched. Blue screens and forensic tents are outside the front of the semi-detached property within a 50m police cordon. I've seen evidence bags being taken out of the house and the garden also appears to be part of the search. The property is believed to be privately-owned and used, in part, as a halfway house. Local residents have told me it has a high turnover of tenants and Khan had only been living there for about six months. Two victims A man and a woman were killed during the attack. Three others - a man and two women - were also injured and remain in hospital. NHS chief Simon Stevens said, on Friday, that one person was in a critical but stable condition, another was stable and the third had less serious injuries. None of those killed or injured has so far been named and officers were still working to identify those who died, Met Commissioner Cressida Dick said on Friday. Police believe the attacker had acted alone, the commissioner added on Saturday. 'Extreme courage' The actions of the public have been widely praised, including by Prime Minister Boris Johnson, Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn and Ms Dick, who said they had shown \"extreme courage\". Videos posted on social media appeared to show passers-by holding Khan down, while a man in a suit could be seen running from him, having apparently retrieved a large knife. One witness described how a man at the event at Fishmongers' Hall grabbed a narwhal tusk - a long white horn that protrudes from the whale - that was on the wall, and went outside to confront the attacker. Another person let off a fire extinguisher in the face of the attacker to try to keep him at bay. One of those who rushed to help during the attack was a convicted murderer who was attending the prisoner rehabilitation event on day release, the Times reported. James Ford, 42, was jailed for life with a minimum of 15 years in 2004 for the murder of Amanda Champion, a 21-year-old woman with learning difficulties. Mr Basu said Khan was wearing what was believed to be a hoax explosive device. In awe The prime minister put election campaigning on hold on Friday to hold a meeting of the government's emergency Cobra committee. Mr Johnson visited the scene at London Bridge on Saturday with Met Commissioner Ms Dick and Home Secretary Priti Patel. He praised the \"incredible\" response by members of the emergency services and the \"sheer bravery\" of members of the public who intervened. Mr Johnson said his \"immediate takeaway\" from the attack was to \"toughen up sentences\" for serious and violent offences. \"When people are sentenced to a certain number of years in prison, they should serve every year of that sentence,\" he added. London Mayor Sadiq Khan he was \"in awe of the bravery, the courageousness of ordinary Londoners\" who stopped the attacker. He told BBC Breakfast there would be an increased presence of armed and unarmed police officers in London over the weekend, adding they were there to \"reassure us - not because there is an additional or heightened threat\". The London mayor also told BBC Radio 4's Today programme the UK had to make sure the \"right lessons\" were learned from the attack. \"You can't disaggregate terrorism and security from cuts made to resources of the police, of probation - the tools that judges have,\" he said. But security minister Brandon Lewis told the programme funding for counter-terrorism policing had consistently increased since 2015. \"We will make sure that the police has got the resource that it needs,\" he added. Political parties cancelled some events on Saturday, which had been planned ahead of the general election on 12 December. Flags on UK government buildings will fly at half-mast on Saturday as a mark of respect to all those affected by the attack. The Queen said in a statement: \"Prince Philip and I have been saddened to hear of the terror attacks at London Bridge. \"We send our thoughts, prayers and deepest sympathies to all those who have lost loved ones and who have been affected by yesterday's terrible violence.\" London Bridge was the scene of another attack, on 3 June 2017, in which eight people were killed and many more injured. The Dean of Southwark Cathedral, the Very Revd Andrew Nunn, said Friday's events had brought back memories of the 2017 attack. \"It's only two-and-a-half years since the June attack and that's not long for healing, and actually it feels as though wounds have been reopened,\" he said. \"Where people felt they had come to terms with what had happened in their community, now I think they're wondering whether they really had - so a lot of work for us to do,\" he added. This latest attack comes after the UK's terrorism threat level was downgraded on 4 November from \"severe\" to \"substantial\", meaning that attacks were thought to be \"likely\" rather than \"highly likely\". The terror threat level is reviewed every six months by the Joint Terrorism Analysis Centre, which makes recommendations independent of government. Some of the early debate about the London Bridge attack has focused on the sentence imposed on Usman Khan. The sentencing judge thought Khan should be freed from prison only when it was safe to do so, as part \"indeterminate penalty\" scheme (IPP). But the Court Of Appeal replaced Khan's IPP with an extended sentence, which required his release at the halfway point of his 16-year custodial term. The IPP regime was scrapped in 2012 - a decision that was widely supported at the time. Since Khan's conviction, legislation has been put in place for the Parole Board to determine when offenders on extended sentences should be let out. The attack also raises questions about the extent to which people convicted of terrorism offences can be de-radicalised. Khan was one of 51 inmates with terror links let out of jail in the 12 months to the end of March 2019, so it's inevitable that the role of those monitoring him will now be scrutinised. Did the authorities pick up any warning signs about Khan? Was he meeting people he shouldn't have done or plotting the attack? If no signs were detected, why not? And if the authorities did spot concerns, what did they do? Friday's horrific attack was the second fatal stabbing at an offender rehabilitation event this month, after Hakim Sillah died at a knife awareness course in Hillingdon, west London. These events will likely fuel concerns about safety at such venues and whether checks need to be strengthened. Did you witness what happened?

Paulette Randall, who directed Sir Lenny in a 2013 production of August Wilson's play Fences, will direct him in the play. Henry has described Pryor, who died in 2005 at the age of 65, as his \"comedy hero\" and presented a documentary on Radio 4 about the comic last year. \"He was one of the greatest comedians who ever drew breath,\" he told the BBC after Pryor's death. \"He documented every pain, every abuse he'd ever suffered in his life, and he made it funny.\" Pryor was a pioneering stand-up comic whose uncompromising humour blazed a trail for other black performers. His comedy focused unsparingly on politics, race relations and his own struggles with drug and alcohol addiction. In 1980 he suffered serious burns after setting himself on fire while freebasing cocaine - an incident he later said had been a suicide attempt. The star of such films as Silver Streak, Stir Crazy and Superman III was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 1986. Richard Pryor on Fire, Sir Lenny's first play for the stage, was among a raft of new productions announced by the National Theatre on Wednesday. Others include an adaptation of Small Island, Andrea Levy's prize-winning novel about the Windrush generation. Sir David Hare is to write a new version of Henrik Ibsen's Peer Gynt in a co-production with next year's Edinburgh International Festival. The National is also staging new productions of Caryl Churchill's Top Girls, Rutherford and Son by Githa Sowerby and Moliere's Tartuffe. As previously announced, Cate Blanchett will make her National Theatre debut in a new play called When We Have Sufficiently Tortured Each Other, Twelve Variations on Samuel Richardson's Pamela. Stephen Dillane also appears in Martin Crimp's play, which uses Richardson's 1740 novel - about a maid who marries her predatory employer - as a standing point. Sir Lenny, who turned 60 this year, made his own National Theatre debut in 2011 in The Comedy of Errors.

The findings were greeted as \"really good news [which] give us confidence\" by one expert. The government has urged people to keep following restrictions and have the Covid vaccine when called. The BBC's data analysis reveals the extent of the improvement since January's peak. Fewer than 600 deaths within 28 days of a positive test have been reported so far this month, compared with more than 30,000 in the first four weeks of January. The figures suggest the UK's pandemic is moving into a new phase, with many areas seeing low levels of coronavirus. The latest lockdown and the vaccination programme have successfully reduced cases, and as a result, deaths. \"This is really good news,\" said Dr Mike Tildesley, an expert in the spread of infectious diseases. \"It's a really good sign and we've seen several parts of the country where prevalence is really, really low. So, I think it gives us confidence.\" But he echoed another expert who urged caution. \"[W]e have seen before, when things go wrong they can go wrong quickly,\" said Prof Graham Medley, of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. Slowly lifting restrictions means this is less likely to happen, he added. Areas that did not report any April deaths tended to have fewer confirmed coronavirus cases in March, the data suggests. On average, those places had 150 cases per 100,000 people in March. By comparison, districts that have reported deaths in April had just under 240 positive cases per 100,000 people in March. Worst-hit areas Some parts have gone even longer without seeing Covid deaths. Plymouth, a major city and home to more than a quarter-of-a-million people, has not reported a Covid death in the last 58 days. In Oxford and Maidstone it's 60 days. But the 19 worst-hit councils accounted for more than a third of the deaths occurring in April. The areas with the highest death rates include two in Northern Ireland: Mid and East Antrim, and Antrim and Newtownabbey, as well as Sedgemoor in Somerset and Bradford, West Yorkshire. Scientists advising the government believe that the focus in the coming months will turn to identifying and containing local and regional outbreaks.

The Office for National Statistics records deaths in a different way, and under this definition more areas may have seen fatalities. Despite the surge in areas with zero deaths, a government spokesperson encouraged people \"to follow the rules so that our roadmap out of lockdown is irreversible\". \"We urge everyone to keep coming forward to get their vaccine when called.

TfL said fare dodging continues to \"go down every year, against rising passenger numbers\" and represents less than 1% of all Tube journeys\". A spokeswoman said the decrease in bus fare dodging came after the removal of bendy buses in 2011 because they had several entrances and \"people were more likely to take their chances\". Figures quoted by the London Assembly Labour Group also did not consider revenue made back from penalty fares and automatic maximum fare charges for fare dodgers, she added. '4.5p per journey' Labour's Valerie Shawcross said there needed to be \"a far more rigorous approach\" to tackling fare dodgers. Her analysis comes after the government announced cuts to TfL's budget of up to £700m in revenue grant by 2019/20. She said the rise in fare evasion had far outstripped the 23% rise in passenger numbers across the London Underground network. Approximately 4.5p per journey is lost to fare evasion, up from 1.8p in 2011, she found.

The package will now be voted on at a special conference on 1 March. The news comes as a leaked report by Labour says there is \"no doubt\" the Unite union tried to \"manipulate\" the selection of its candidate in Falkirk. At the moment, affiliated unions control a third of the votes in Labour leadership elections as part of an electoral college system, last used in 2010 when Mr Miliband was elected. If the NEC-backed plans are passed at the special conference, leaders will in future be chosen by a one member, one vote system. 'First hurdle' Trade unionists would no longer be able to vote as a result of their automatic union affiliation, but would have to agree to pay a £3 affiliation fee to the party to take part. The proposed changes would give ordinary Labour supporters - as well as party members - more say over who leads them, with no individual having more than one vote in a future contest. Party sources said 28 members of the NEC had voted in favour. The two who voted against were the MP Dennis Skinner and a constituency member, Christine Shawcroft. Mr Miliband said: \"I am delighted that these historic reforms have cleared the first hurdle to being agreed. \"For too long politics has been out of touch with working people and people from all walks of life. These changes will help bridge the gap between Westminster and the rest of Britain. \"They are about opening up the Labour Party so that more people from every walk of life can have more say on the issues which matter to them most like the cost-of-living crisis.\" He added: \"But we are not taking anything for granted. Change is difficult and these are the biggest changes in the way politics is done for generations.\" Union leaders have warned of a sharp fall in affiliation fees, with GMB boss Paul Kenny saying the shake-up is not a \"done deal\". The changes were approved by the Parliamentary Labour Party on Monday night and the shadow cabinet on Tuesday morning. 'Manipulate' Mr Miliband's proposals come after allegations last year that Unite - the UK's biggest union - had tried to rig the selection of the party's parliamentary candidate for Falkirk, to replace the outgoing MP Eric Joyce. The Guardian newspaper has published the full report of Labour's internal inquiry into the claims, which up until now has remained secret, It says \"there can no doubt that members were recruited to manipulate party processes\" during the selection of a candidate for the next general election. It finds some union members were signed up without their knowledge and there were some signs membership forms appeared to have been forged.

But Mr Oulds, who supports the plan for an airport on economic grounds, said the money would be better spent on \"more pressing items\", and the council should be trying to find a logical conclusion to the argument rather than pushing through an unbalanced campaign. In January, an open letter to Transport Secretary Justine Greening from the four group leaders on the local authority said 76% of the UK public opposed the proposals, along with many major airline industry leaders. Supporters of the idea, including London Mayor Boris Johnson, have said the UK needs more airport capacity. Councillor Jarrett said: \"We don't want people to gain either politically or financially from other people's misery, and that's what this airport will bring - misery for the great majority of the people of Medway.\" The government's formal consultation into airport expansion will be launched later this month.",

She said: \"It has been a privilege to be able to come across and work with people of all different backgrounds across the town.\" Ms Newberry said the diverse food and friendliness of the people had been a highlight. The photographs are Ms Newberry's first commissioned work in the UK and she said she hoped to return in the future, with the exhibition \"just the start\" of the project. \"It is the beginning of a conversation,\" she said.

Three was the last operator to roll out 4G in December 2013 and told the BBC it was continuing to extend its 4G network every day. \"Almost everyone now uses a mobile phone service and it's not good enough that the UK is lagging behind so many countries with our 4G network coverage,\" said Richard Lloyd, executive director of Which.

Last year, EE unveiled a £1.5bn three-year network investment plan that included the expansion of 4G and the commitment to reach 99% of the population with \"superfast 4G\". However, mobile phone providers have faced planning issues when creating the necessary infrastructure, said analyst Kester Mann from CCS Insight. \"Network operators will maintain that they are investing millions of pounds each day in network coverage and capacity to satisfy the insatiable demand for mobile data services among UK consumers,\" he said. \"They will also cite tough planning restrictions to allow taller masts to provide wider coverage, a challenge recognised in George Osborne's recent Budget. \"These findings show that, although the UK is a leading market in the uptake of 4G services, there is still plenty of work to be done in network roll-out.\"",

British media are predicting an influx of people from the EU's two poorest countries. The British government is tightening access to benefits for migrants. But what has the reaction been in three other big European economies? Spain - by Tom Burridge in Madrid The British government has argued that Romanians, in particular, are more likely to move to Spain than Britain, because there is a large established Romanian community there and the languages are similar. Some 869,000 Romanians make up the largest registered immigrant population in Spain - that's 16% of the total number of foreign nationals living in the country. But in Spain, no-one seems to be concerned about the imminent lifting of working restrictions. Even if you digest the Spanish press on a regular basis, you might have missed the fact altogether. There is a potent, much-quoted statistic, which helps explain why Spain does not believe that, come 1 January, there will be an influx from the east. Some 26% of people of working age in Spain are unemployed. And that is largely why Spain now has negative net immigration, with more people leaving than arriving. It is a dramatic turn-around from the period prior to 2008, during Spain's construction boom, when immigrants, principally from Latin America, poured in. Last year, Spain's population fell for the first time since records began. The other important thing to note is that since 2009, Spain has only had restrictions on Romanians coming to work, not Bulgarians. And there are only 169,000 Bulgarians registered as living in Spain. The fact is that Spain has not historically had the same levels of immigration as Britain - it is a relatively new phenomenon. And, even with the astronomically high rate of unemployment, immigration is not the hot political topic that it is in the UK. France - by Hugh Schofield in Paris In France - as in the UK - there is growing debate about freedom of movement for EU citizens, and the possible impact of the 1 January changes for Romanians and Bulgarians. France in theory also faces the possibility of a big influx of workers - but the reality is not expected to be dramatic. A year ago - as a preparatory measure - France extended the list of eligible jobs that Romanians and Bulgarians could apply for, but it did not trigger any significant rush. No, in France the debate over Bulgarian and Romanian immigration is entirely subsumed - rightly or wrongly - by the much more poisonous debate over the Roma. This is an extremely hot issue in advance of municipal elections in March. The left accuses the right of alarmism. The right accuses the left of naivety. And meanwhile Interior Minister Manuel Valls has become by far the most popular member of the Socialist government by the simple mechanism of talking tough. It was Mr Valls who pointed out recently that the number of Romanian citizens arrested in Paris went up from 1,300 in 2008 to 8,245 in 2011, before falling back slightly to 7,550 in 2012. Everyone in Paris knows that there are gangs of Roma minors operating as pickpockets, bag-snatchers and scam artists. They come in every day from squalid encampments in the suburbs. Many shopping streets have Roma beggars sitting at regular intervals, outside bakeries, banks and supermarkets. Everyone in a position of responsibility knows they have to tread extremely warily when discussing these findings. The far-right National Front is poised to exploit any sign of a link between immigrants and crime. Germany - by Stephen Evans in Berlin There are concerns in Germany about migration from poorer parts of the European Union to get the benefits of living in richer parts - like Germany. The coalition agreement between the governing parties - Chancellor Angela Merkel's CDU and the Social Democrats - specifically mentions worries about \"unjust claims for social security benefit\". And, last year, the home affairs minister said he was worried about the \"consequences of European economic migration\" and \"the abuse of freedom of movement\". But the debate in Germany is nowhere near as prominent or as shrill as it is in Britain. No German politician anywhere near government is questioning the free movement of labour, which they see as fundamental to the very idea of the European Union. It is more about enforcing existing law than writing new law. Some politicians on the right in Germany wonder if the British government's strong stance is being driven by British domestic politics and fear of the populism of the United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP). As Manfred Weber of the Christian Social Union (the Bavarian sister party of the CDU) put it to Der Spiegel: \"Cameron should stop running after UKIP. He only strengthens UKIP with his rhetoric.\" In Germany, any newcomer has to wait three months before being able to claim social benefits. Applicants are individually assessed and officials decide if the person has come to Germany just because it offers better benefits than back home. Accordingly, virtually everybody from Spain, which has very high unemployment, is turned down. If a person in Germany can be shown to have been genuinely seeking work for some time, they will be eligible for benefits. The one party, except those on the far-right, which campaigns avowedly for tighter control on immigration won little public support in the general election. Germans, by and large, have worries about what they call \"poverty migration\" but that does not lead them to question one of the fundamental ideas of the European Union, which is that its citizens should be able to move freely between member countries.",

The court heard of a string of failures at the site including being overcrowded, having poor ventilation and run-down buildings, significant fire risks, \"filthy\" facilities and a decrepit' isolation block not fit for habitation - plus dormitories that allowed coronavirus to spread. A Covid-19 outbreak at the barracks earlier this year affected nearly 200 men and a disturbance saw fire break out. Home Secretary Priti Patel and immigration minister Chris Philp both previously defended the use of such sites, despite the Home Office facing criticism. Liberty lawyer Lara Ten Caten said: \"We should all have somewhere safe to shelter, where our dignity is respected and where our needs are met. \"Today's judgment leaves no doubt that Napier Barracks falls far short of this, and the government's only response can be to close it down immediately.\" She said the site was overcrowded and unhygienic, and the judge had made it clear a coronavirus outbreak was inevitable - a clear breach of people's fundamental right to respect for human dignity.

During that time, the ODA has overseen the delivery of everything from the building of sporting arenas and other infrastructure to the ordering of plastic cups and fire shutters. Now, as the preparations for the Olympics enter their final lap, Sir John is looking to ensure the event acts as a catalyst for companies to win similar sports-related contracts in future. 'Longer-lasting benefits' \"The UK and its firms has a couple of years to really capitalise on the expertise and experience gained from being involved in this summer's Games,\" Sir John told the BBC News website. \"But there are longer-lasting benefits - you can still see how Australian firms are winning sports-related contracts because the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney was seen as a good one. \"Clearly the opportunities now exist for us, but we need to match the Australians and make sure they don't dominate.\" Sir John is now heading up the British Business Club, a new sports business networking organisation backed by UK Trade & Investment (UKTI). It will be active for the duration of the Olympic and Paralympic Games and beyond, and is also open to overseas firms as well as UK ones. \"It is a powerful business networking tool for both British and international firms,\" says Sir John. \"By allowing companies to build their networks and connect with business partners worldwide, it will increase their opportunities to meet and engage with potential partners during the London 2012 Games.\" Rio contact Sir John said UK firms were particularly well placed to win sports contracts in the Middle East, India and South East Asia. But he said challenges still remained in Africa and South America, although London 2012 had been building good contacts with the organisers of the 2016 Rio Games. \"There have been a lot of meetings and conversations, and UK firms are doing a lot of the Rio masterplanning,\" he said. \"Having done something successful here should provide extra leverage for UK firms.\" According to Sir John, some 98% of the facilities for the Olympics have been built by UK firms. That is almost £6bn worth of business, or 1,500 contracts, awarded by the ODA to home-based companies. In total, more than 75,000 firms are expected to have win work related to London 2012. Now they will be looking to win similar work in the coming decade. As well as the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow and Winter Olympics in Sochi, both in 2014, there are a number of other big events looming on the global sporting calendar. They include a number of UK-based events, including the Rugby League World Cup in 2013, Rugby Union World Cup in 2015, the Ryder Cup in 2014 and the Cricket World Cup. Major overseas events include the 2014 World Cup and 2016 Olympic Games in Brazil, as well as the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang. \"British companies now have precious experience that they can use to win business at home and abroad,\" added Sir John. \"They are already doing so in Sochi and Brazil. Further ahead, there are fresh opportunities in Korea and Qatar,\" he says, referring to the latter's seemingly insatiable appetite for hosting major sporting events. Joining UKTI in launching the initiative are London & Partners, London Business Network and the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills. It is hoped the venture will be particularly useful for small and medium-sized enterprises. Club members can network free of charge with thousands of other businesses \"to showcase their expertise and know-how\" by creating an online profile. The website will also provide access to one-to-one meetings, networking events across the UK and free temporary membership of the Institute of Directors in London for the duration of the Games. Mr Armitt hit the headlines recently when he called for \"urgent action to ensure that marketing restrictions applying to London 2012 suppliers are relaxed as soon as possible\" after the Games. He made the point after small and medium-sized firms said they were not allowed to publicise their success, because the event's organisers (Locog) feared it could upset the big-name official sponsors. \"We are seeking post-Games relief for firms from these constraints and are in discussions to see that can be done after the Olympics,\" said Sir John. 'Feel-good' There has been a glut of analysis from, among others, Lloyds, Goldman Sachs and the government, all trying to size up the exact economic benefit that the UK can expect from holding the games. Last week, Prime Minister David Cameron said hosting the Games would be worth £13bn to the UK economy over the next four years. \"The 'value' can only be the one that makes people feel good - the Olympic Games will help the feel-good factor,\" says Sir John. \"But if you are a government that has just spent £9bn on the games, it is unacceptable to spend £9bn on just a six-week party. \"Of course, there are social and sporting legacy benefits from the Games - but you want to feel sure there is a business benefit. \"But you will never know the scale of those business benefits.\" He said no-one could predict if the global economic situation would change dramatically over the next four or five years. \"It will be a brave man that says 15% of economic growth was because of this factor, and 20% because of this factor. \"The main question is - have we, because of the Games, increased GDP, got people into work and put the UK economy in a better position? \"Intuitively I know these things are going to happen. For me, that is enough. I am not myself concerned about trying to find out whatever percentage was created by the Games.\"",

A government report, leaked to the Times, indicated that there could be food shortages in Ireland in the event of a no-deal Brexit. It said the economic impact on Ireland would be worse than in the UK. The report indicated that there would be a 7% drop in GDP for Ireland. The equivalent UK drop would be 5%. Speaking to The Times, Conservative MP Priti Patel said such warnings should have been used in negotiations as leverage against the Republic of Ireland to encourage them to drop the backstop.

Why hasn't this point been pressed home during negotiations? \"There is still time to go back to Brussels and get a better deal.\" Speaking to the Irish Examiner, the Tanáiste (Ireland's deputy prime minister) Simon Coveney said Ms Patel's comments were \"ridiculous\". Her words were interpreted by some as insensitive given Ireland's history. Alliance Party leader Naomi Long tweeted: \"This kind of comment from MPs like Priti Patel demonstrate not only profound ignorance of and insensitivity about our history but also reckless indifference to the impact on relations today.\" Elsewhere on Twitter, SDLP MLA Claire Hanna delivered a sharp rebuke to Ms Patel's comments. \"The warped and spectacularly ignorant mind of Brexit, alongside the evil approach to Ireland is the failure to grasp that this is about the most food secure island in the world,\" the South Belfast MLA wrote. Former Sinn Féin Irish presidential candidate Liadh Ní Riada MEP accused Ms Patel of using the \"threat of food shortages in Ireland\" to force a change in Ireland's policy on the backstop - which she said was \"despicable\".

But proposals, including moving specialist intensive care for babies in north Wales to England, were backed by the Community Health Council (CHC). Councillor Huw Edwards, who is a member of the CHC in Gwynedd, said he had lost all confidence in the body. He said he believed it had \"behaved contrary to public opinion and also to their own plans\". Local CHCs are the only bodies with the legal right to refer proposed NHS changes to Health Minister Lesley Griffiths. They can take the step if they are not satisfied the changes are in the interests of the health service. Betsi Cadwaladr Health Board met last month to make final decisions on far reaching plans to changes in the NHS in north Wales. Along with the decision to move neonatal specialist intensive care it decided that four community hospitals should close at Blaenau Ffestiniog, Flint, Llangollen and Prestatyn. Services would be centralised at 10 other sites, it added. Minor injuries units at Chirk, Colwyn Bay and Ruthin will also close. The board has insisted it had to overhaul services to meet the challenges of an aging population, retaining and recruiting medical expertise, and to meet financial pressures on the NHS. Following discussions, Betsi Cadwaladr CHC announced on Thursday that it supports most of the health board's proposals. They include moving high level intensive care for babies, which is currently provided at Wrexham Maelor and Glan Clwyd Hospital in Bodelwyddan, to Arrowe Park Hospital on the Wirral. The CHC also backed plans to close several community hospitals, minor injury units and X-ray departments. 'Utterly bewildering' Gwynedd county councillor Mr Edwards, who represents Caernarfon's Cadnant ward, said he had \"lost faith\" in the CHC and that Gwynedd's committee had opposed the recommendations in two meetings. \"There are no details at all about provision in the community that the board refers to and that is totally unfair to the areas that will lose their local hospitals,\" he said. \"The decision to move the specialist neonatal unit from Glan Clwyd is equally despicable.\" The CHC has said it does have reservations about some of the health board's plans, such as the availability of capital investment for proposed new primary care developments. It said it is continuing to talk to the health board \"to seek clarification and assurance on these outstanding issues\". Mr Edwards' CHC Gwynedd colleague, Councillor Eryl Jones Williams, says he is also considering resigning from the watchdog. He said: \"I'm very concerned that the views of the local people and in some cases the experts have not been recognised. \"I've been a councillor now for a while and you have to take note of what the public say.\" Following the CHC's decision to back the shake-up plans, north Wales AMs from the four main political parties issued a joint statement to criticise the CHC's \"utterly bewildering\" decision. Darren Millar (Conservative), Ann Jones (Labour), Llyr Huws Gruffydd (Plaid Cymru) and Aled Roberts (Liberal Democrat) said: \"Community health councils are supposed to be a voice for patients in the NHS, but we see little evidence that that is the case from today's statement.\"",

He reached the island using a massive bridge and one of the shopping trolleys recently introduced to the game. Landing on the island has been a long-cherished goal among Fortnite players. Game physics Each round of the hugely popular Fortnite game involves 100 players who battle to see who can be the last player standing. During the game, players grab guns and materials, such as wood and bricks, they can then use to build structures. Clever use of these structures can give players an advantage during firefights. As each group of players is amassed, they are placed on a neutral territory called \"spawn island\" where they can fool around before virtual combat begins. Once the game starts the island is visible from the main playing area but, until now, no-one has managed to get back to it once the bullets start flying. OrangeGuy, with the help of two friends, managed the feat by first building a massive, high bridge that stretched across most of the gap between the two areas. The bridge ended with a ramp that he and his two team-mates rode down on a shopping trolley. The virtual vehicles were added to the game in a recent update and many people have used them to stage crazy stunts by exploiting the loose physics of the Fortnite game world. In this case, riding the trolley seemed to get over the invisible wall that thwarted other attempts to reach the island. At the end of the ramp the trolley stayed airborne and slowly floated towards the starting point. In comments on the video, Orange Guy said the team had to be \"lucky\" to make it. Since OrangeGuy discovered the \"glitch\" many other players have copied the method and managed to return to the same place.",

I'm left with nothing,\" she says. \"Once the gas goes off, I'll have none for cooking or hot water.\" Ms Guilfoyle's card, from the online firm Pockit, has been frozen because the UK financial regulator, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) wants to make sure the money is safe. It is one of dozens of payment cards and foreign currency cards which have been blocked, because they used a payment processing service owned by Wirecard. Wirecard's UK arm insisted the problem was \"temporary\" and progress was being made. Many of Pockit's hundreds of thousands of customers have their benefits paid into the card account, which is easier to open than a bank account. No timeframe Ms Guilfoyle, a single mother from Poplar, in London, is being barred from using £500 of child benefit and other benefits which should be in her hands this week. \"I am going to have to see if I can go to a food bank,\" she adds, \"I have bills to pay and I am already in debt management.\" Pockit has apologised, telling customers: \"We are working with the Financial Conduct Authority to reactivate all accounts as quickly as we can and reunite you with your money. \"Unfortunately, we cannot give a timeframe for the resolution of this issue, but we are working round the clock.\" 'Absolutely ridiculous' Tim Potter is battling cancer and having to look after his elderly mother, at Sherborne, in Dorset, so the failure of his card has been a serious worry. \"I am suffering extreme anxiety - Pockit is used by many highly vulnerable people,\" he says, \"The FCA have failed to look after us with their heavy-handed, inept approach.\" Mr Potter sent £400 from Pockit to his bank account at RBS, but is concerned that the funds have not arrived yet. Nor has a phone bill been paid. \"Fortunately I managed to pay my rent early in the morning before the freeze,\" Tim adds, \"The DWP were meant to run a support service for this problem but I have no idea how to access this help.\" In the FCA's statement announcing the freeze, benefit recipients were advised to contact the Department for Work and Pensions for assistance. A DWP spokesperson told the BBC: \"We are contacting the small number of claimants who we believe have been affected to make sure they have the support they need and can access their money as quickly as possible.\" Izabelle Butterworth, who works part-time in a shop at Dewsbury, in West Yorkshire, saw her pay go into her Pockit account last week. But she is unable to draw her money out. \"I think it is absolutely ridiculous,\" she complains, \"I am in a really sticky situation. I can't transfer the money or get cashback, and I can't borrow.\" Izabelle is concerned that she may not get her money back. \"I've checked and it's there. But is it going to disappear? I don't know.\" Ring-fenced cash Funds held by e-money firms like Pockit are not guaranteed up to £85,000 as bank deposits are, although they are held in banks and should be safeguarded. Pockit has told customers: \"Your funds are being held by Wirecard in a ring-fenced designated account with Barclays. This means in the event of a Wirecard going bust you are protected.\" Even so, the FCA is anxious to make sure no money is siphoned off because of Wirecard's collapse in Germany. \"Following last week's news of €1.9bn missing from the accounts of the German company, Wirecard, we placed requirements on the firm's UK business so that it should stop carrying out regulated activities and not pay out or reduce any money it holds,\" the regulator said. \"Our primary objective all along has been to protect the interests and money of consumers who use Wirecard.\" The FCA said it was working with the firm, and other international and UK authorities, and is making good progress. \"We are maintaining pressure on the firm to resolve these issues which would allow it to operate under certain conditions,\" the FCA said, adding: \"However, we cannot lift the restrictions without reassuring ourselves that the firm has been able to satisfy all our concerns for example that all clients' money is safe.\" A spokesperson for Wirecard said: \"We fully understand the inconvenience the temporary suspension of our services has caused for our valued customers. We are in constant dialogue with the FCA and are working hard with them and our advisors to have the steps in place which will enable the suspension to be lifted so business can resume. \"The FCA has announced today that it has seen good progress from the firm in meeting the conditions that they set. We will provide further updates on our website as soon as we can.\"",

Publications should be encouraged to settle disputes, with fairness, clarity and above all without delay.\" One of the first tests for the new watchdog is the case of the Conservative former minister, Brooks Newmark, who resigned in September after a newspaper sex sting. The Sunday Mirror has said its report that Mr Newmark sent explicit pictures of himself to a male undercover journalist claiming to be a woman was in the public interest but critics have questioned the paper's methods.

            "input": "Andrea Albutt wrote an open letter after recent violence at prisons in Hertfordshire and Wiltshire. She said the unrest was causing \"grave concern\" - adding that governors faced \"unacceptable stress and anxiety\". The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) said action had been taken to increase prison officer numbers. But Ms Albutt said her members had seen \"nothing tangible\" from the MoJ to ease population pressures in prison, and the burden on staff. She said recruitment remained in a \"critical\" condition, with a net increase of just 75 officers in the year 2016/17. Training was \"poor\" and \"unsuitable people\" were being selected, she added. Jamie Turner, a former inmate at Hertfordshire's The Mount, said he predicted riots there long ago because staff shortages had led to squalid conditions. \"You'll get five trainees come round the prison maybe the week before they're due to start on the Monday - they'll see the conditions and one will turn up for work,\" he told BBC 5 live. Speaking to the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire, Ms Albutt said the government had not been receptive to talking to governors. Justice Secretary David Lidington's silence had been \"deafening\", she said, and prisons minister Sam Gyimah could not meet them until October. Without sufficient staffing, prisons could only \"hold and control\" prisoners, not deliver quality rehabilitative regimes, she added. The BBC's home affairs correspondent Danny Shaw said the Prison Governors Association had \"traditionally been a voice of moderation\". \"The criticisms are unlikely to be brushed aside,\" he said. Data released last week from the MoJ showed a rise in violence in prisons, with 26,643 assaults in the year to March 2017 - 20% more than the previous year. Of these, a record 7,159 were attacks on staff - equivalent to 20 every day. Analysis: Albutt not one to court controversy By Danny Shaw, BBC home affairs correspondent Anyone who's worked in a prison or served a sentence there will tell you that what they need above all is a stable environment. Without that there's little chance of successful rehabilitation. But with staff cuts, an upsurge in the use of drugs and changes to prison regimes, jails have been anything but stable. It's been little better in Whitehall, where the post of justice secretary has been filled by five Conservative ministers in seven years since Labour's Jack Straw was replaced in 2010. Each has had their own ideas about prison reform, with Liz Truss, who held the role for 11 months until June, responsible for the most recent change - separating the operational management of prisons from policy decisions. Andrea Albutt doesn't believe the split makes any sense and suggests it's undermining efforts to bring about the stability that jails need. She is not someone known for courting controversy, so her views demand to be taken seriously. Ms Albutt described the government's decision earlier this year, to separate operational control of the prison system from responsibility for policy, as \"madness\". Conservative MP Bob Neill, chairman of the Commons Justice Select Committee, said he did not share Ms Albutt's concerns over reforms, saying the split between policy and operations happened successfully across other areas of the public sector. He told BBC Radio 4's today programme that the bigger problem was a \"serious disconnection\" and growing lack of confidence between \"the top brass\" of the Prison Service and the \"operational people on the ground\", including governors. Mr Neill said other issues were low staffing and a failure to hold on to more experienced employees. An MoJ spokesman said Her Majesty's Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS) - which replaced the National Offender Management Service - would \"help to create a distinct, professionalised frontline service\". \"We know that our prisons have faced a number of long-standing challenges, which is why we have taken immediate action to boost prison officer numbers and have created HMPPS,\" the spokesman added. \"We need to create calm and ordered environments to help ensure effective rehabilitation, and we continue to work closely with the unions and all staff to help achieve these vital reforms and make prisons places of safety and reform.\" Labour's shadow justice secretary Richard Burgon said officer numbers had been slashed while overcrowding had risen. \"Prisoners are not being rehabilitated and this is putting the public at risk,\" he said, adding that only a Labour government would provide the investment, staff and attention needed to end the crisis. John Podmore, a former governor of Brixton, Belmarsh and Swaleside prisons, said he had never known rioting to be so frequent and long-lasting, and called for an independent public inquiry. The prison system was \"in a mess\" and there had been a \"fundamental breakdown\" in relations between staff and prisoners, he said. He pointed to a riot this week at The Mount, where many of the prisoners were preparing to be released. \"That's very very worrying. They should be out in the community [on licence], not locked up 24 hours a day,\" he told the Today programme. Sir Edward Garnier, a former Conservative solicitor-general, now Prison Reform Trust trustee, said that until government reduced prisoner numbers, disturbances and dissatisfaction among governors, officers and prisoners would continue. In July, the union representing prison workers called for the resignation of prisons' boss Michael Spurr. The general secretary of the Prison Officers Association, Steve Gillan, said his members had \"lost patience\" and accused the management of HMPPS of trying to \"paper over the cracks\".

The 66-year-old is a former member of the Parachute Regiment. It is understood he is being questioned over the deaths of William Nash, Michael McDaid and John Young. The man is the first person to be arrested as part of the Bloody Sunday investigation. He is being interviewed at a police station in Belfast after being detained in County Antrim on Tuesday morning. He is soldier J, who was one of the soldiers who appeared before the Saville Inquiry. Kate Nash, whose 19-year-old brother, William, was killed on Bloody Sunday, said she welcomed the news. \"I had a call this morning from the police liaison officer that deals with our family,\" said Ms Nash. \"She said that they had arrested a soldier and that he was being questioned. She said she wanted the family to know first before it went out on the news. \"She said he was being questioned in relation to the death of my brother, William and two others: Michael McDaid, John Young and the attempted murder of my father. \"I started to shake. I couldn't believe it. I became very emotional. \"To see a soldier even being questioned has truly shocked me. I never thought it would get to this. \"There is a flicker of hope. It's a very positive step.\" The officer leading the investigation, Det Ch Insp Ian Harrison, said the arrest \"marked a new phase in the overall investigation which would continue for some time\". In a statement, Peter Madden of Madden & Finucane Solicitors, the firm that represents most of the Bloody Sunday families, said the arrest was \"a very welcome development\". 'No warning' A Ministry of Defence (MOD) spokesperson said: \"We are aware an ex-soldier has been arrested by the Police Service of Northern Ireland in connection with their investigation into the events of Bloody Sunday. \"It would be inappropriate to comment further on an ongoing criminal investigation at this stage.\" The Northern Ireland Office said: \"Criminal investigations and prosecutions are a matter for the police and prosecuting authorities who act independently of government and politicians. The government cannot therefore comment on an individual case.\" Speaking at Stormont on Tuesday, DUP MP Gregory Campbell said that the question for investigators is whether they are \"extending their investigation beyond those who were serving in the police or army on that day\". He said his party are \"totally unhappy\" that the arrested soldier, if convicted, could \"serve a much more lengthy sentence\" than paramilitaries found guilty of Troubles-era crimes because of the Good Friday Agreement's early release scheme. Former Northern Ireland Secretary Lord Mandelson told Channel 4 News: \"There are perils in going back so far into history. \"Perils over the evidence that is available, people's memories, people's ability to produce their own evidence and facts so long ago to present to some sort of tribunal or commission or court of law or whatever it is.\" Bloody Sunday was one of the most controversial days in Northern Ireland's history. In 2010, Prime Minister David Cameron apologised to the Bloody Sunday victims on behalf of the state, after a long-running public inquiry unequivocally blamed the Army for the civilian deaths. The inquiry, led by Lord Saville, took 12 years to complete and exonerated those who died. It concluded that soldiers fired the first shot and gave no warning before opening fire on the civilian marchers. The Saville Report also found that some of those killed or injured were clearly fleeing or going to help the injured and dying. Accepting the findings of the 2010 inquiry, Mr Cameron described the killings as \"unjustified and unjustifiable\" and said he was \"deeply sorry\". The arrest was made by the Police Service of Northern Ireland's Legacy Investigation Branch. The specialist police team was set up to re-investigate unsolved murder cases, dating from the beginning of the Troubles in the late 1960s, up to 2004. The Legacy Investigation Branch replaced the Historical Enquiries Team (HET), shortly after an inspection report criticised the HET for treating state killings with \"less rigour\" than others. The branch began work in January this year, taking over the Bloody Sunday investigation along with other HET cases. Clarification 9 April 2019: This article was amended to remove a reference to the death of John Johnston. This reflects the Bloody Sunday Inquiry's finding about Mr Johnston's death several months after he was wounded in Derry on 30 January 1972. The inquiry report states that his death was \"not the result of any of the wounds he sustained on Bloody Sunday\".",

Job centre staff may also be told to identify vulnerable claimants who could become targets for radicalisation. Education Secretary Nicky Morgan said she was \"concerned about what might be taught in some of our schools\". The BBC understands the document has yet to be signed off by the coalition. 'Fundamental British values' Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond said the government was \"increasingly aware\" of the need to tackle extremists at home who \"give succour to\" terrorists. \"It isn't just those who break the law by committing acts of violence,\" he told the BBC's Andrew Marr show. The new government strategy on tackling extremism has been working its way through Whitehall for some time. The document reportedly proposes a number of new measures, including tightening the rules on citizenship to make sure new residents embrace \"British values\". It says the government needs to be \"more assertive\" in challenging extremists who oppose democratic values. Speaking to the Murnaghan programme on Sky News, Mrs Morgan said she would not comment on leaked documents but said messages young people receive in and out of school were important, and there were concerns about the speakers some schools had invited in. She added: \"I think as education secretary, it would be right for me to say that I am, of course, concerned about what might be taught in some of our schools. \"And we have since last year required all schools to actively promote these fundamental British values, so that our education system is opening up young minds, it's not closing them down.\" 'Mainstream voices' Labour shadow justice secretary Sadiq Khan said plans to ban radical Islamists from working unsupervised with children made \"perfect sense\". He said the idea of an allegiance to British values was a good thing, but there were some people in the UK who did not understand such rights and responsibilities. The Sunday Telegraph quotes the document as saying: \"In the past, there has been a risk that the government sends an ambivalent and dangerous message - that it doesn't really matter if you don't believe in democracy. \"We need to stand up and be more assertive in promoting our values and challenging the extremists who fundamentally oppose them. \"This will include explaining our foreign policy [and] promoting mainstream voices supporting the quiet majority in all communities who oppose extremism.\" The leaked document is also said to claim the Trojan Horse affair - which looked at allegations hard-line Muslims were trying to gain control of schools in Birmingham - was \"not an isolated example of schools where extreme views became prevalent\". It says that universities, charities and local councils could be vulnerable to \"entryism\", with extremists infiltrating organisations intending to promote their own views. The new strategy would reportedly also call for an independent review into Sharia courts, which operate under Islamic religious law. It states there have been \"troubling reports that in some areas women have suffered from the way these councils work\", the newspaper said. Police cuts warning The proposed measures could be introduced immediately if the coalition parties approve it before the election, says BBC political correspondent Ben Wright. The document's emergence comes in the wake of three British schoolgirls travelling to Syria, apparently to join Islamic State, and IS fighter \"Jihadi John\" being identified as Mohammed Emwazi, a UK citizen who was educated in west London. Meanwhile, the retiring president of the Association of Chief Police Officers has warned that further cuts to policing in Britain could leave forces without the resources to protect the public from threats including terrorism. Sir Hugh Orde told the Observer newspaper that taking police off the streets was a clear risk in the fight against extremism. He said: \"The critical element, it seems to me, with dealing with people who will start to behave differently in their communities is the confidence in that community to speak to the local cops. \"If the cops aren't there, and that relationship has not been built, we won't get the intelligence.\"",

            "input": "The village of Bijraul, on the outskirts of Meerut district in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh, had a small celebration on 10 May to mark the 160th anniversary of the uprising of 1857 - a rebellion against the rule of the British East India Company. The residents of the village paid tributes to their ancestor Shah Mal for his role in the revolt. He inspired thousands of peasants across nearly 84 villages to leave their fields and take up arms in 1857. But not many people in India have heard of this prosperous landlord. \"People of the district were in a fever of excitement to know whether 'their raj' or ours was to triumph,\" wrote Robert Henry Wallace Dunlop, a civil officer, in Service and Adventure with the Khakhee Resallah, a record of the volunteer corps formed to quell the uprising. Shah Mal was extraordinarily plucky. He collected and sent supplies to the mutineers of Delhi and blew up the bridge of boats on the Yamuna river, cutting off all communication between Meerut and the British headquarters in Delhi. In July 1857, at least 3,500 peasants armed with primitive swords and spears led by Shah Mal clashed with British soldiers of the East India Company, represented by the cavalry, infantry and artillery regiments. The landlord was killed in the battle. The story of Shah Mal, branded an \"upstart\" by the British, who \"from nothing became a rebel of some importance\", has been subsumed into the familiar narrative of 1857 - that it was a mutiny of sepoys which spread to former rulers of northern India. His is one of the many forgotten accounts of peasants and commoners, who were an essential part of the rebellion, which a group of dedicated historians from Meerut are trying to revive. An important component of the 1857 uprising were the \"thousands of spontaneous peasants' jacqueries [revolt] all over northern India,\" writes cultural historian Sumanta Banerjee, in his book, In the Wake of Naxalbari. \"But, the role of the peasantry in the uprising has been glossed over by bourgeois historians,\" Mr Banerjee elaborates. British records Most historical accounts have dwelt on the elitist character of the insurgency. To upend this narrative, historians have only to turn to British records of the time, which are richly informative about the widespread extent of peasant participation. Like this entry from the British records of 1858 sheds light on how the British attacked villages in Meerut. \"The principal villages were successfully surrounded, a little after daybreak, by different parties told of. A considerable number of the men were killed; 40 taken prisoners, 40 of whom were consequently hung….\" Amit Pathak, a historian and author, KK Sharma, a professor of history, and Amit Rai Jain, a researcher and historian, all from Meerut, and the founders of Culture and History Society, a non-profit association, have carefully pored over the records of the uprising to revive the memory of people like Shah Mal. Ten years ago, on the 150th anniversary of the uprising, they started the \"baagi (rebel) villages\" project. The villages that the British declared as baagi were the ones that had fought for independence, and which later faced heavy reprisals when the British regained control of the territories. After identifying such villages, the researchers meet the descendants of the rebel fighters and record their memories, passed down from one generation to another, which they corroborate and document. \"The real power of the uprising was in rural India,\" Mr Pathak tells the BBC. \"The tragedy we find when we visit these villages is that the descendants of the rebels are still mired in poverty.\" When the uprising collapsed after the fall of Delhi, the rebels were hanged, and their lands were confiscated, auctioned off and redistributed among those who were loyal to the British. \"When we visited the village of Busodh, we were surprised to find that from a prosperous village of landlords as recorded by the British, it had turned into a poor village of landless labourers. It is one of many such instances,\" said Mr Pathak. The researchers have surveyed 18 such villages so far. But government officials seldom visit these places. In some villages, the researchers found that the families of the revolutionaries were completely ignorant about their history. \"When we go there and we recognise the contribution of their ancestors, we give them back their pride and respect, and in the countryside that is highly valued,\" Mr Pathak adds. Mr Jain says that the stories of people like Shah Mal have led to social awakening of sorts. Pramod Kumar Dhama is the fifth-generation descendant of Gulab Singh, a peasant leader from the village of Nimbali who fought alongside Shah Mal. Mr Dhama, 50, teaches in a school and is a repository of memories on Gulab Singh's heroics. \"As a young boy, I was told I come from a great family which had fought for the country. It inspired me to become a teacher,\" says Dhama. On 18 July, the residents of Bijraul will honour the memory of those who died fighting. Shah Mal and 26 leaders who were hanged on a banyan tree close to the village will be remembered.",

The firm, Seaborne Freight, won a £13.8m contract to run a freight service between Ramsgate and Ostend. But a BBC investigation discovered it had never run a ferry service before. Mr Grayling told the Today programme that the government had \"looked very carefully\" at the business. \"We have put in place a tight contract to make sure they can deliver for us,\" he added. The contract award notice reveals that the tender process took place \"without prior publication of a call for competition\". It states that the limited process was due to \"a situation of extreme urgency\" in the run-up to the UK's EU departure date. The document shows that the contract received a single bid, from Seaborne Freight. A Department for Transport spokesperson told the BBC that \"a wide range of operators\" had been approached to invite them to tender. The Road Haulage Association (RHA), which represents firms bringing freight to and from UK ports, said its members were worried about how their trucks will get across the Channel. Seaborne Freight will need to \"source ferries, hire and train staff and link with relevant authorities\", according to Rod McKenzie, a managing director at the RHA. \"It looks an impossible timescale.\" Seaborne Freight was formed in April 2017 to revive the Ramsgate-Ostend line. Dredging works are set to begin at Ramsgate harbour on Thursday morning, in order to clear access for larger ships. Chief executive, Ben Sharp, said the company planned to start operations with two ships, before increasing to four by late summer. He declined to give details on the ships it planned to use for the service, saying the information was commercially sensitive. Earlier, the Department for Transport confirmed that the company would only be paid if it ran \"an effective service\". As part of its preparations for a no-deal Brexit outcome, the government has highlighted the possibility of \"severe congestion\" at UK ports due to increased border checks. The contract is one of three awarded to provide additional ferries between the UK and several European cities, to help ease the potential backlog. Other contracted suppliers include France's Brittany Ferries and Danish shipping firm DFDS. On the likelihood of needing to bring extra services into force, Mr Grayling said that he had \"had detailed discussions with the French, with French counterparts\". \"They want to keep the Channel ports operating freely and I am confident that will happen.\"",

It comes as EU leaders met to discuss the bloc's thorny ties with Turkey. Turkey has been a long-term candidate for membership of the European Union but efforts have stalled, with EU leaders criticising Turkey's record on human rights and the rule of law, in particular in the wake of the 2016 failed military coup. But Turkey remains an important partner for the EU. Turkey hosts millions of migrants and struck a deal with the EU that limited the numbers arriving in Greece. The announcement of a hotline followed talks between Turkey and Greece at the Nato headquarters in Brussels. \"I welcome the establishment of a military de-confliction mechanism, achieved through the constructive engagement of Greece and Turkey, both valued Nato allies,\" said Nato Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg. \"This safety mechanism can help to create the space for diplomatic efforts to address the underlying dispute and we stand ready to develop it further.\" Such mechanisms enable direct communication between two sides - Russia and the US set one up during the Cold War and it has been in operation ever since. In August two Turkish and Greek war ships collided in the Eastern Mediterranean. Since then tensions have eased somewhat, with the Turkish research vessel leaving the area last month and both sides saying they were prepared to resume talks. News of the hotline emerged as EU leaders arrived elsewhere in Brussels for a summit. The bloc has backed its members Cyprus and Greece against Turkey. Greece's Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said Turkish \"provocations\" had to stop. \"One thing is certain: Turkish provocation, whether manifested through unilateral actions or through extreme rhetoric, can no longer be tolerated,\" he said.

These included 870 outstanding schools - 405 secondary schools and more than 400 outstanding primaries. \"Since I issued my invitation to schools three weeks ago, I have been overwhelmed by the response,\" he told the National College for Leadership of Schools, which trains heads and deputies. \"That's 70% of the outstanding secondary schools in the country and a significant cohort of outstanding primaries.\" There are there roughly 700 secondary schools in England which have been rated outstanding by schools inspectors Ofsted. Mr Gove addressed directly criticism of the academies scheme, which has included suggestions that it will fracture the schools system, set schools against each other and let down pupils in need. \"I know some have expressed concern that this offer of greater autonomy for schools will work against the collaborative model of school improvement that has grown up over the past 15 or so years and which has done so much to tackle under-performance in those schools in the most challenging circumstances,\" he said. \"I would not be going down this road if I thought it would in any way set back the process of school improvement, if it would in any way undermine the progress we need to make in our weakest or most challenged schools or if it would in any way fracture the culture of collaboration which has driven school improvement over the last decade.\" Pupils in need He said schools which took \"academy freedoms\" would continue to be governed by admissions rules which guaranteed fair access to all, safeguarded the inclusive character of comprehensive schools, ensured all schools took their fair share of pupils in need and prevented schools from discriminating against pupils with special educational needs. In a wide-ranging speech, Mr Gove also warned that Britain was slipping behind the best in the world and said that the academies policy would give schools the autonomy they needed to drive up standards. \"Over the last three years I fear government action has held our education system back from making many of the advances we needed to make to keep pace with the best,\" he said. \"But we will now also provide you with the kind of autonomy that has served schools in America, Canada, Sweden and Finland so well and allow all schools the freedom to develop their own curriculum and fully control their own budget and staffing.\" Mr Gove wrote to head teachers in every primary, secondary and special school in England last month inviting them to apply for academy status.",

The gel is a mixture of progesterone and testosterone. The progesterone switches off sperm production in the testes and the testosterone compensates for the drop in testosterone that this causes. The hope is that couples in long-term relationships could eventually use the gel as an alternative to the female contraceptive pill. 'Taking the burden off women' Speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live Breakfast, James explained: \"I squeeze a 50p-piece-size out of the dispenser - the dispenser is a bit like one of those posh toothpaste tubes. It's got the consistency of hand sanitiser. \"I rub it into my shoulder and pectoral area and that dries in three to four seconds. I do that to the other shoulder and then I get dressed and go about my day as normal.\" James has been using the gel since February but only started to use it as the sole form of contraception a week ago. \"One of the side-effects has been an increased sex drive,\" he said, but any negative side-effects have been minimal. \"I have experienced no change in mood, I've got a few small spots on my back but they are already clearing up. I've put on maybe 1kg [in weight] but that's probably due to the beer, if I'm quite honest!\" He said the benefits of being involved in the trial were more than just medical. \"The most positive thing for me has been I've got to experience a change in discourse about contraception. My friends and colleagues at work have been coming up to me and asking about it, asking when it's available, asking all sorts of stuff. \"I'm feeling very, very positive that either this contraceptive or other contraceptives for men will become available.\" However, this could be some years away, according to Dr Cheryl Fitzgerald, a consultant in reproductive medicine at Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust. \"This trial is looking at hundreds of men and looking at them quite closely to check that it's safe and effective and tolerated well. After that there would be a much bigger trial so we are certainly looking at 10-plus years,\" she said. The trial has brought benefits for James's partner, Diana. She said: \"One of the fantastic things for me is that I have been on hormonal contraception since I was 16 and this has now allowed me to have a break for the next year. \"By giving men more choice we are taking some of the burden off women and allowing men to have more freedom over their own contraceptive method.\"",

Carole's then-husband Don went missing 21 years ago and people in the documentary accuse her of killing him. Carole says interviewees in the series are \"not credible\". 'No regard for the truth' Carole Baskin, who runs the Big Cat Rescue sanctuary in Florida, wrote a long post arguing against the way she is represented. In it, she says the docuseries \"has a segment devoted to suggesting, with lies and innuendos from people who are not credible, that I had a role in the disappearance of my husband Don 21 years ago. \"The series presents this without any regard for the truth or in most cases even giving me an opportunity before publication to rebut the absurd claims. \"They did not care about truth. The unsavoury lies are better for getting viewers.\" Netflix has told Radio 1 Newsbeat it has no comment at this time. In her long post, Carole details why she thinks the testimonies of people interviewed in the series are untrustworthy. They include accounts from Don's ex-assistant, a man he had business dealings with and members of Don's family from a previous marriage. Accusations in the series include one that Carole fed Don's body to the big cats in their sanctuary, or that she dissolved his body in acid. However, she has never been charged of anything relating to Don's disappearance. She calls \"the most ludicrous of all the lies\" the allegation she may have ground Don's body up in a meat grinder before feeding him to the cats. She even includes a photo of a small meat grinder, saying: \"The idea that a human body and skeleton could be put through it is idiotic. But the Netflix directors did not care. They just showed a bigger grinder.\" One of the many people posting about the show on social media was Kim Kardashian West, who asked her 64 million followers whether Carole had killed her husband. Who is Joe Exotic? Joseph Maldonado-Passage is a big cat breeder who ran an exotic animal park in Oklahoma - but went to prison last year for 22 years, for crimes including trying to hire someone to murder Carole Baskin, and various crimes related to endangered species and conservation. His feud with Carole goes back a long way. Joe calls Carole a hypocrite and accuses her of doing the same thing she criticises him for - breeding big cats for sale - which Carole denies. Carole's then-husband Don did breed big cats for sale when they first met in the 1980s, but she says she was never on board with this. Joe dedicated a lot of his time to talking about Carole, even making a country music video called Here Kitty Kitty where a character, who is made to look like Carole, is seen seemingly feeding her husband to tigers. Carole had set up a website which she said highlighted animal abuse on Joe's property. From prison, Joe Maldonado-Passage recently filed a $94m (£76.7m) lawsuit against the US government and ex-business partners and colleagues. $78m of that is against government departments for placing the \"generic tiger\" on the endangered species list, which he argues results in loss of his property. He is seeking an additional $15m from his former business partner Jeff Lowe and another former colleague, whom he alleges lied to prosecutors, informed against him and planted evidence. He's also asked for a presidential pardon from Donald Trump, according to TMZ. He appeared in a 2011 Louis Theroux documentary about dangerous pets.

Under tier two, households are no longer be able to mix indoors in any setting - in homes or elsewhere. It comes as a new study suggests 100,000 people are catching coronavirus in England every day. The following areas will come under tier two - high alert - restrictions from 00:01 on Saturday: The decision follows close discussions with local leaders - and will be reviewed every 14 days, the government said. \"We continue to see a worrying rise in cases right across the country, and it is clear decisive action is needed,\" said Health Secretary Matt Hancock. \"These restrictions are challenging for us all, but it is only by working together and following the rules that we will bring down the rates of infection. A failure to act now will only lead to longer disruption and greater economic damage.\" It comes as government data recorded a further 23,065 cases of coronavirus in the UK in the past 24 hours and another 280 deaths. Karl Turner, Labour MP for Hull East, said the tier two restrictions were \"not strong enough\" to have a significant effect on the Covid reproduction (R) number in Hull and would be \"disproportionately difficult for the hospitality sector\". \"I am also deeply frustrated that despite higher levels of deprivation, Hull is to receive the same level of additional support as the East Riding. I made have made that clear to government ministers and will continue to fight for a fair deal.\" Hull has experienced a sharp increase in positive cases and hospital admissions in recent weeks. Weekly case rates currently stand at 248 people per 100,000. In Oxford, there was dismay among some local politicians that only the city will be placed under tighter measures. The rest of the county of Oxfordshire will remain in tier one. Anneliese Dodds, Labour MP for Oxford East, urged residents in the city to comply, but said she was \"concerned that evidence of the need for steps to be taken across Oxfordshire has not been taken on board\" by the Department of Health. Susan Brown, leader of Oxford City Council, called the decision not to put the whole county into tier two was \"shocking\", adding \"the spread and case numbers outside the city are also of grave concern... when so many people commute into our city\". In Oxford City, weekly case rates stand at 138 people per 100,000. 'Big impact' Dudley Council leader Patrick Harley thanked the local population for their \"huge efforts\" to keep the area in tier one, but said cases had, nonetheless, continued to rise. \"Figures are doubling every two weeks and we must act now to safeguard ourselves and our families, and we all have a duty of care to our older and vulnerable residents,\" he said. Dudley was the last of the seven metropolitan local authority areas in the West Midlands to go into tier two. The new restrictions affect about 1.5 million people in Staffordshire, Dudley, the Black Country, and Telford and Wrekin, in Shropshire. Key among the new measures is the ban on households mixing indoors - which comes on top of the rule of six and closing at 22:00, restrictions already imposed under tier one. Trevor Emery, assistant manager at The Fountain Inn in Leek, Staffordshire said he thought new restrictions could have a \"very big impact\" on whether the pub can remain open. Mr Emery, 55, said: \"We would love to stay open, but we've got to make sure we're turning in a profit for the chain. He explained it was a popular venue for families to meet: \"We've just got to see how it goes,\" he told the BBC. Bringing restrictions back to tier one would be \"the best Christmas present we can give each other\", Stafford Borough Council leader Patrick Farrington said, in a letter to local households. \"We are at a critical point in fighting this pandemic and I am confident with the support of the whole community we can get back to medium alert soon,\" he said.",

Campaigners in some areas have accused councils of trying to rush closures through in recent months. Education Secretary Kirsty Williams said all viable alternatives should be considered before closure. This includes linking up with other schools. The new code will be underpinned by 219 schools being designated and listed as rural for the first time. under the code. You might be interested in these stories: There have been campaigns on Anglesey against a series of closures and also in the Vale of Glamorgan. Councils have faced the issue of cost pressures of maintaining smaller schools with surplus places in less heavily-populated areas. But as well as assessing the impact of a closure on pupils' education and the wider community, they must now explain why closure is the \"most appropriate\" course of action. In the Vale of Glamorgan, a month-long statutory consultation on plans to move pupils from Llancarfan Primary School to a new £4m \"super primary\" building five miles (8km) away in Rhoose starts next week. There has been a school in the village since 1875. There are just over 100 pupils on the roll and the council estimates numbers will continue to fall. But campaigners say the school is part of the fabric of the community and their plea for a decision on its future to be based on the new code \"fell on deaf ears\". \"We hoped the cabinet would respect and follow the recommendation to work with the community to explore alternatives to closure,\" said campaign spokesman Matthew Valencia. \"Disappointingly, it chose not to. And we said all along that any decision cabinet made going forward should be informed by the presumption against closure of rural schools.\" The campaign has vowed to continue its fight, by legal action if necessary. 'Recognise and respect' Vale of Glamorgan council has denied it is a school closure but said it is a transfer of pupils and that the current building is not fit for purpose. \"The first edition of the School Organisation Code came into force on 1 October 2013 and applied in respect of all school organisation proposals published by way of statutory notice on or after that date,\" said a spokesman. \"The second edition of the code comes into force on 1 November 2018, and comes into effect immediately subject to the following: if a proposer has commenced consultation before 1 November the proposal must be published and determined in accordance with the first edition of the code.\" The Welsh Government said the presumption against closure is not retrospective, and does not apply to proposals that are already in progress including those where the consultation has been published. Meanwhile, at Amlwch at Anglesey, proposals include an option which could see up to six local primary schools closing and sharing the building belonging to secondary school, Ysgol Syr Thomas Jones. A spokesman for Anglesey council said it would \"recognise and respect\" the principles of the amended code and \"encourage local communities to work with us to establish future educational arrangements which are built on improved effectiveness and efficiency\". But Plaid Cymru AM Rhun ap Iorwerth said the Welsh Government just wanted to give the \"impression\" that it was protecting rural schools. \"I welcome any genuine attempts to help smaller schools, but at the same time as this code is being developed, government policy is urging moves towards larger schools, and, crucially, a code not backed by additional resource is a smokescreen,\" he said. \"Welsh Government should be looking for ways to support councils in trying to find new and innovative ways of keeping schools open within their communities.\" Ms Williams said the Welsh Government was \"supporting pupils and teachers\" in rural areas. \"This doesn't mean a rural school will never close, but it does mean that all options and suggestions are on the table before a decision is made,\" she said. \"This might include federation with other schools or increasing the community use of school buildings to make the school more viable.\" The policy is part of an agreement which saw Ms Williams, the only Liberal Democrat AM, join the Labour-led Welsh Government as education secretary after the 2016 assembly election.",

It would be a fairly significant milestone in the process, initiated by the European Commission after RBS and Lloyds were rescued by taxpayers in 2008, of increasing competition in the UK banking market. RBS is being forced to sell 315 branches, serving around 250,000 small business customers, 1200 medium size businesses and 1.8 million retail customers. What RBS is selling is a smaller business in the round than what Lloyds has been forced to de-merge (631 branches recently renamed as TSB, to be floated on the stock market next year) but it is bigger in the economically important small-business market. In the bidding process, the main rival to Corsair - whose vice chairman is Lord Davies, a trade minister in the last Labour government and ex-chief executive of Standard Chartered - was another private-equity group, led by Blackstone of the US. RBS's directors take the view that both private equity bids offer better value to RBS's owners - notably taxpayers with an 81% stake in the bank - than the bid from a large consortium of City investment institutions, chaired by the former Tesco finance director, Andy Higginson. \"The Higginson offer was way below Corsair and Blackstone on value\" says a source. I reported earlier this week that RBS had rejected the Higginson offer. Apparently in price terms, there is not a great deal to separate Corsair and Blackstone - which is not a great surprise, given that they have similar business models and are working with the same data. However Corsair is preferred because of its \"vision\" for the bank, said a source, and its \"controls\". RBS will retain a stake in the hived-off bank, as and when it is sold to Corsair, so that it will benefit from any increase in its value, as and when it is floated on the London Stock Exchange. It had planned to sell the whole thing to Santander, but that deal fell through a year ago. RBS will need to get an extension from the European Commission of the deadline to sell the whole of this small-business bank by the end of the year (or rather, the Treasury will have to negotiate this extension on behalf of RBS).",

Now, one woman has described her joy at seeing her children's faces, after her second eye was treated. The research increases hopes that gene therapy can be used in a range of eye conditions, said a UK expert. The three have Leber's Congenital Amaurosis (LCA), a rare inherited disease caused by defects in a gene encoding a protein needed for vision. It appears at birth or in the first months of life, leading to severely impaired vision, involuntary eye movements and poor night vision. The disorder, which can be caused by 'mistakes' in more than 10 different genes, prevents normal function of the retina; the light-sensitive layer of cells at the back of the eye. Several teams around the world are carrying out early trials of gene therapy in blindness, including experts at the Philadelphia Children's Hospital and the University of Pennsylvania, US. Only a handful of patients worldwide have received the treatment to boost a faulty gene underlying an inherited form of blindness. The US researchers revealed in 2008 that 12 people with LCA had recovered some vision after being injected in one eye with an engineered virus carrying the gene RPE65. In a follow-up study they treated the other eye of three of them, and found it improved their sight even more. The subjects could see better in dim light and two were able to find their way around obstacles. The results were revealed in the latest edition of the journal Science Translational Medicine. The principal investigator of the study, Dr Jean Bennett, said the patients could now do things they could never do before, such as walking around at night, going shopping for groceries and recognising people's faces. She told the BBC: \"We've shown that it is possible to safely treat both eyes of people with this particular form of retinal deficiency using a gene-based treatment and further we've demonstrated that the brain understands what the retina is seeing.\" MRI scans showed the brain could \"see\" the newly-treated eye. Dr Manzar Ashtari, from The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, who carried out the brain scans, told the BBC: \"We saw the brain gets activated - the brain after treatment responded to the visual stimuli.\" 'Incredibly valuable' One of the three patients who took part in the clinical trial, Tami Morehouse, told the BBC how her vision gradually returned, opening up a whole new world for her. Even though she can't see well enough to read or drive a car, she can now make-out her children's faces, watch them play baseball and see the light change over Lake Erie, where she lives. She said: \"Life is so much easier at a level that most people take for granted. Any amount of vision that you can get when you have almost nothing is incredibly valuable.\" The researchers now hope to treat the second eye of the remaining nine patients, and extend the clinical trial. Dr Bennett said: \"I think it will be a stepping stone to treating more common forms of blindness in both eyes.\" Commenting on the study, Clara Eaglen, policy and campaigns manager at the Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB), UK, said: \"The early results of this small scale trial are encouraging, but clearly, a lot more research is needed to maximise the benefits of gene therapy techniques and understand how they can then be turned into effective treatments for a variety of more common degenerative eye conditions.\" Professor Robin Ali of the Institute of Ophthalmology at University College London leads a UK team carrying out a similar trial of gene therapy. He said: \"This is confirmation that it is possible to administer gene therapy safely to the second eye of patients. \"This is reassuring and increases the prospect of this type of therapy for treatment of a wide range of eye conditions.\"",

Looking out of the car at the display window of the shop, Boseman saw several panther statues in a line facing him. The offer was for him to play Black Panther, prince of Wakanda, in Captain America: Civil War and then to star in the film Black Panther itself, this time as the king of the African kingdom. Boseman recounted this story in 2016 to a gasping audience on Jimmy Kimmel Live, during a press tour ahead of the release of Captain America: Civil War. But there was also another story that the actor wanted to share. Looking at the audience and then at the television camera, Chadwick Boseman smiled and said, \"Charles Carter, you were right. Come out wherever you are!\" Charles Carter first met Chadwick Boseman on the lot of the Fox studio in Sydney, Australia, when the actor was filming Gods of Egypt, a fantasy about ancient Egyptian deities. Carter had been employed in security for over 20 years and was working as the bodyguard of one of the film's leads. But he instantly hit it off with the actor playing Thoth, the God of Wisdom - it was early 2014 and Chadwick Boseman, then 37, was gaining momentum as someone who could carry big Hollywood roles, like that of African American baseball legend Jackie Robinson in the film 42. Carter and Boseman bonded over their love of martial arts, kung fu and boxing. Between takes, the two would dissect and analyse the style and technique of boxer Floyd Mayweather. The make-up artists would then reprimand Carter for play-fighting with Boseman. \"You're getting him sweaty,\" they'd warn. When the two talked, Boseman mainly spoke about his family and cousins in South Carolina. It was clear to Carter that Boseman's world, and those he trusted, were a tight circle. \"He wasn't 'Hollywood',\" says Carter. \"He was friendly and calm, but he didn't have fake familiarity with people. \"He never said it openly, but I don't think he liked people he didn't know calling him 'brother', except for me. \"When he heard people on set that he didn't know so well call him 'brother', he turned around and gave a very subtle, very calm look that said, 'Slow down, we're not this kind of close.' \"He owned himself, he was friendly to everyone, all crew on set.\" He also had a regal authority that made people listen to him, Carter says. \"I know the perfect role for you,\" Carter said to Boseman one day. It was a story he'd known since the age of 10, when he picked up the first issue of a Black Panther comic. As a child growing up in Sydney with a multicultural group of friends, the fact that this superhero was black didn't strike him as particularly surprising, but he was fascinated by the technologically advanced fictional African nation of Wakanda, the birthplace of King T'Challa, the Black Panther. He collected comics, sealing them in protective plastic. Watching Boseman carry himself on set, Carter started wondering. When he asked Boseman if he'd heard of the Black Panther, the actor replied that while he had heard of the character, he didn't know details or storylines. The conversation ended almost as soon as it started. But this gave Carter an idea. He went home to fetch his first edition copy of the first Black Panther comic from 1977. What happened next would be repeated by Chadwick Boseman in media interviews two years later. In 2016, on the American chat show Live with Kelly and Michael, Boseman said \"there were weird signs\" that he was going to get the role. \"I got in a conversation with the security on set for this movie Gods of Egypt in Australia,\" he said. \"And we didn't really talk that much about Black Panther but he put the first issue of Black Panther in my trailer, his original issue of Black Panther from when he was a kid, and wrote a note in it to say 'You're going to get this role.'\" \"Oh my God,\" responded the host, Kelly Ripa. \"There was no sign that Marvel was even going to do a Black Panther movie or even bring the Black Panther into the Marvel universe then,\" Boseman continued, \"but it became a thing that built in my head.\" The actor would repeat the story to US presenter Jimmy Kimmel, this time turning to the camera and naming Charles Carter as the planter of the seed. Carter was in his car in Sydney when he heard the interview played back on an Australian radio station. He smiled, and recalled one of their last conversations on set. \"If they ever do a Black Panther movie, that comic book will be worth a lot,\" Boseman had told Carter. \"No, it's a good luck charm to stay with you forever,\" Carter replied. Then he added jokingly, \"Just don't forget me when you're a superstar!\" After filming wrapped up in Australia, there was criticism of Boseman's character in Gods of Egypt, that it was a flattened stereotype of a magical black character. In an interview with GQ magazine, Boseman said he agreed with the criticism, but added that he had to accept the role because \"people don't make $140m movies starring black and brown people\". But the $200m Black Panther movie was already being discussed in Marvel offices. At the Black Panther launch press conference, Marvel producer Kevin Feige said that Chadwick Boseman was their one and only choice for the role. After it was announced that Black Panther was to be filmed and Boseman publicly acknowledged him, Carter declined interviews. \"I'm obviously not responsible for Chad and Black Panther,\" he says. \"Chad did it. It was all his merit, his skill, his beauty, his amazing talent. He did it all and I didn't want him to think I was trying to take credit just by giving him a gift.\" But nine days before the world debut of Black Panther, Boseman messaged Carter. \"I know it's last minute. The tickets are hard to come by for this premiere, even for me. If you happen to be on this side of the pond on the 29th I have one for you.\" As it turned out, Carter was that side of the pond, he was working in Las Vegas. After the film screening at Dolby Theatre, Boseman invited Carter to the afterparty where Carter met Boseman's family and the cast of Black Panther. \"It was a gas,\" Carter says. \"While there was almost everyone you could recognise from a magazine there, it was clear that Chad's attention was on his parents and family. He knew who mattered.\" This was the last time Carter saw Boseman. \"At the premiere I thought he was moving a little slow and deliberate,\" says Carter. \"I thought maybe he took a Valium as it was a big event. He was totally lucid talking to people coming up to congratulate him, but now maybe I think he may have been on meds for his cancer at the time. \"He was thinking a lot I thought.\" He was smiling a lot too though, relishing the success of the film that would go on to make over $1bn in box offices worldwide, and putting a nail in the myth that black-led films were too niche to be blockbusters. The film became a cultural touchpoint, and the first Marvel Comic Universe offering to win an Academy Award. Boseman had been diagnosed with colon cancer two years before the film was released, but it was not something he shared, even with other members of the cast. Carter had no idea himself, and he is reluctant to give details of the moment he heard the news or the last conversation the two of them had. But he knows that what Chadwick Boseman did for representation is huge. \"My friend showed that it's possible to have diverse, strong and powerful leads that are box office wins,\" he says. \"And when one person does that, it will give inspiration for many others to follow.\" That said, he doesn't want to see anyone else in Boseman's role. \"No-one else can be the Black Panther now. Wakanda can live, but not King T'Challa. Writers should think of developing other leads, strong women, strong people of colour. Not replace Chadwick Boseman, because that is not possible.\" You may also be interested in: The release of Black Panther was a moment of special significance for black comic fans, who had only rarely seen a hero on the page who looked like them, and almost never on screen.

            "input": "By Martin PatienceBBC News, Beijing Chinese state-run news agency Xinhua called it a terrorist attack carried out by \"Xinjiang separatist forces\". Rich in minerals and resources, Xinjiang is home to approximately nine million Uighurs, a Turkic ethnic minority. Most are Muslims. In the last year, more than a hundred people have been killed in violence in the autonomous region. Beijing blames the attacks on violent Uighur separatists. But human rights groups say that China's repressive policies in the region are fuelling the unrest. But what must really worry China's leaders is that the violence from Xinjiang now appears to be spreading. In October of last year, Chinese officials said that militants from the region were involved in an apparent suicide attack in Tiananmen Square, the symbolic heart of power in China. The attack in Kunming appears to represent a further escalation. \"This attack is a very significant development in the trajectory of Chinese terrorism,\" said Rohan Gunaratna, a professor at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore who studies terrorism in Asia, including China. \"It was a low-cost but a high-impact attack which has generated huge publicity,\" he added. \"Uighur extremists have shown that they can launch an attack far away from their base of operations.\" 'Cross-fertilisation' There have long been tensions in Xinjiang. During the 1990s, there was a surge in nationalist sentiment among Uighurs after several Central Asian countries gained their independence following the collapse of the Soviet Union. Beijing suppressed the demonstrations during what it called a \"strike hard\" campaign. Since then, China has regularly blamed outside forces for stirring up the violence, including serious ethnic riots in 2009 that left around 200 people - mainly Han Chinese - dead. In particular, the Chinese authorities have singled out the Eastern Turkestan Islamic Movement (ETIM) for orchestrating attacks. In a recent article, Philip Potter, an expert on terrorism at Michigan University, said that China's ongoing security crackdown in Xinjiang has forced the most militant separatists into neighbouring countries such as Pakistan and Afghanistan. He wrote that they were forging strategic alliances with jihadist factions affiliated with al-Qaeda and the Taliban. He concluded that this was leading to \"cross fertilisation\" that has the potential to \"substantially increase the sophistication and lethality of terrorism in China\". But other analysts say there is little or no evidence to suggest that ETIM, or any other group for that matter, is behind the violence. They argue that China plays up the threat in order to justify its heavy-headed security policies in the region. 'The walls have ears' Human rights groups say that Beijing's restrictions on practising Islamic religious customs as well as Uighur culture and language are fuelling the unrest. Foreign journalists trying to operate in Xinjiang are constantly followed by the security services, making it difficult to assess the situation on the ground. During one visit to the region, I was told by a Uighur that \"the walls have ears\" and that \"no-one was allowed to talk out about what was going on\". Another BBC team visited the scene of a violent attack last year, which the authorities also blamed on terrorists. But locals told the BBC that the violence had been triggered after officials pressured some devout Muslim men to shave off their beards. Many Uighurs also resent the influx of Han Chinese to the region. Once the majority, Uighurs are now a minority in what they consider their homeland. They believe that Beijing is trying to water down and dilute their culture and religion through mass migration. Uighurs also complain that they are not sharing in the profits of the region's economic boom. Some Chinese scholars admit this is part of the problem. \"The reason why Xinjiang is troubled is because development in the region has been unbalanced,\" says Xiong Kunxin, a professor of China Ethnic Theory at the China Minzu University. Prof Xiong says that speeding up development in the region will help alleviate the problem. But other analysts believe that the problem is more deep-rooted than simply economics. \"It's the general colonial attitude of Han Chinese officials to Uighurs that generates huge resentment,\" says Michael Dillon, an academic and author of the book, Xinjiang: China's Muslim far northwest. In order for Beijing to tackle the unrest, he said: \"Xinjiang needs to become a genuinely autonomous region.\" But Mr Dillon says that will almost certainly not happen. Like Tibet, Beijing sees Xinjiang as an integral part of modern-day China. The country's leaders regard any talk or even hints of separatism as treason - a red line that simply cannot be crossed.",

This was the biggest total recorded for a single day since the EU referendum campaign in 2016. And the number of young people registering is the highest of any age group. The deadline to register for the 2017 general election is 23.59 GMT on Monday 22 May. Although numbers began to drop off a little after an initial flurry in mid-April, there are still significant numbers of voters making sure they can have their say at the ballot box. In six out of the seven days up to 19 April, registrations exceeded 100,000 a day. There had already been a steady stream of voters signing up ahead of the local elections being held on 4 May. A spike in the numbers on 7 April, which saw 84,600 people register in one day, has been attributed to a Facebook reminder that went out to users across the UK. The next highest day was 12 April, when 30,700 registered - a day before the registration deadline for the local elections. But on 16 April, two days before the general election was announced and after the deadline had passed for the locals, the number was down to just 5,661. After campaigning to get more people registered in time for the last general election in 2015 and the EU referendum in 2016, the Electoral Commission said the deadline to register was \"a significant motivating factor\", with a spokeswoman adding: \"A large number of people apply to register in the days immediately before and on the deadline itself.\" 'Have your say' The biggest group getting their applications in to vote during this surge is young people. Rachael Farrington, university student and founder of Voting Counts - a campaign to encourage voters to register - said the general election was a chance for young people to have their say. \"I think it is so easy to fall into the habit of not voting,\" she said on her blog. \"Many don't really see how politics affects them or their lives on a day to day basis. \"To this I'd say think about what you care about, is it the education of yourself or children, the local community spaces, healthcare, or jobs in your local community? \"Usually, whatever issue it is that you care about is influenced by politics in some way, so you should at least vote so that you have a say in making sure that issue is dealt with in a way you see fit.\" On the day the general election was called, 57,987 people under 25 registered to vote - more than any other age group. The second largest group was people aged between 25 and 34, with a further 51,341 registering. The number of new registrations declined the older people got: The previous Facebook-related spike on 7 April actually saw the 25-to-34 group with the most registrations - 31,211 people - but this was followed in second by the under-25s, with 22,138 registrations. Just 3,175 people 65 or over registered on that day. Emma Hartley, head of campaigns at the Electoral Commission, said: \"It's really encouraging that so many young people have registered to vote recently, as our research shows that along with students and recent home movers, they are particularly less likely to be registered.\" But with another month until voter registration closes, there is more to be done to get people to their polling stations on 8 June. Mariam Inayat Waseem, trustee and director of the British Youth Council and a student at Newcastle University, said: \"You only have to go onto social media to see how politically engaged young people are, but they are not involved in traditional ways. \"Young people feel disillusioned. Decisions about their futures are being made by people without them being part of the conversation. \"These decisions being taken by politicians are going to affect us, the young people, way more than they will those people who are implementing them, so we need to go out and vote and make our voices heard.\"",

The local units of Standard Chartered and UBS, Southeast Asia's biggest lender DBS and Falcon Bank were all found to have \"lapses and weaknesses in anti-money laundering controls\". Standard Chartered, DBS and UBS said they were cooperating with authorities. Falcon Bank was not immediately available for comment. Malaysia 'to co-operate' with 1MDB probe The US v The Wolf of Wall Street The case that's riveted Malaysia Singapore prosecutors have also seized $177m (£134m) in assets linked to 1MDB, half of which belong to a Malaysian financier facing many of the fraud allegations. The US government said on Wednesday that $3.5bn was \"misappropriated\" from 1MDB and that \"the Malaysian people were defrauded on an enormous scale\". US prosecutors are now looking to seize $1bn in assets linked to 1MDB, which includes plush properties in New York and Los Angeles and a private jet. Mr Najib and 1MDB have consistently denied any wrongdoing. Complex web Singapore is one of several global authorities investigating alleged fraud at 1MDB, which was set up by Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak in 2009. The country's financial regulator said in a statement on Thursday investigations into 1MDB began in March 2015. \"They revealed extensive layering of transactions and subterfuge aimed at disguising the nature of certain activities and fund flows,\" the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) said. \"In some instances, shell or unauthorised companies domiciled in various jurisdictions were used to conceal the true beneficiaries of the funds.\" \"Standard Chartered takes financial crime compliance very seriously,\" a spokesperson told the BBC. \"We have strengthened our anti-money laundering controls and processes and will continue to play an active role in the fight against financial crime.\" \"Egregious financial crime is highly sophisticated and intentionally designed to evade systems and controls,\" a DBS spokesperson said. \"We take our anti-money laundering obligations seriously\". UBS also said it was constantly enhancing its anti-money laundering processes. \"In this case, UBS self-reported the suspicious transactions and is working closely with regulators to address this matter,\" a spokesperson for the bank told the BBC. \"Serious breaches\" Singapore is trying to maintain its reputation as a corruption-free international finance and banking hub and is taking a stern stance towards any illicit fund flows. Swiss bank BSI was kicked out of the city in May for \"serious breaches\" of Singapore's anti-money laundering rules in its business dealings with 1MDB. Switzerland has since launched a criminal investigation into the private bank. Certain financial institutions were \"used as conduits\" for a \"complex international web of transactions,\" MAS said on Thursday. A local money changer and remittance agent that had \"weak management oversight\" is also facing potential penalties. Out of the four banks identified, MAS said Falcon Private Bank had \"substantial breaches\" of its anti-money laundering laws, including a failure to report suspicious transactions. However, MAS said the oversight and management of certain key client relationships were done out of the bank's head office in Switzerland.",

            "input": "By Chris Flynn and Jodie HalfordBBC News Early on a spring morning in April 1994, water could be heard splashing out of an overflow pipe at the back of one of the narrow terraced houses in the old Moulsham area of Chelmsford. The neighbours weren't sure whether to disturb the home's owner, an elderly gentleman known to many in the town for his kind, friendly nature. But the running water - and the fact his curtains were still drawn - was a strange enough sign for them to check in on him. The back door was open, so Paul and Phyllis Nestor walked in. They were met with a house that had been wrecked - rooms had been overturned, and the bath was overflowing from a still-running tap. In the living room, a body lay on the floor covered in paint. A red-raw ligature mark could be seen around the man's neck and there were stab wounds to his back, neck and chest. A kitchen knife - oddly, not the murder weapon - rested on his torso. Leaves torn from the Bible were shoved in his mouth. But £700 in cash, apparently hidden in the oven, remained untouched. The question has baffled police for 25 years: Why would anyone want to kill Ron Cousins - a man who had been committed to God and welcoming to all? \"I used to go and see him and he'd have all sorts of strangers in,\" recalled his nephew, David Ketley. \"I'd tell my mother and say, 'Ron's got some people round there and I don't know who they are. He's got to be careful because one day something might happen to him'.\" The former milkman had spent almost his whole life in the quiet market town of Chelmsford - born in the same two-up, two-down he died in. It was there he frequently put a temporary roof over the heads of vagrants and the homeless. Ken and Jacqui Powell had worked with Ron in younger years, during his time at the Crompton Parkinson electrical factory. \"He came to our wedding, and later he was our son's godfather. He used to take the boys when they were small. He was a very friendly man,\" said Mrs Powell. \"He just knew everyone. I think he was probably one of the most well-known people in Chelmsford.\" Apart from his time in India during World War Two, Ron never moved out of Anchor Street, where had grown up with three siblings, who eventually moved to have families of their own. Religion had always played a big part in his life, from early days at Sunday school to his regular visits to Christchurch United Reformed Church, Elim Church and the Salvation Army. When their mother died, he lived alone, and sought solace from friends at various churches. Journalist Amanda Stocks said Ron's death profoundly shook the town. \"I think everybody was very shocked at the time. We put it on the front page of both the Weekly News and the Evening Gazette. \"[Chelmsford] was a very sort of carefree, safe place - it probably changed the way that we went about our daily lives. \"I've been in this industry 28 years and this one sticks in my mind the most, because it was so bizarre and so shocking.\" In the weeks after the murder, Essex Police spoke to hundreds of people. \"We looked at where the paint came from - was it in his home already? Was there significance behind that, like was the person a painter or decorator?\" said Det Insp Stuart Truss. \"The Bible pages also play a significant part in our investigation - but I can't go into detail about what they contained.\" The detective confirmed the force still has the pages, but refused to reveal any details whatsoever about the text they contained \"for operational reasons\". A neighbour, who wished to remain anonymous, told the BBC he had seen the paint in Ron's house previously. Investigating Ron's murder was made more difficult by the \"relatively lonely existence\" he had led, the detective said. But he was nevertheless well-known, and his tendency to open his home to strangers meant there would have been \"quite a large pool of potential suspects\", according to Birmingham City University professor, Elizabeth Yardley. \"Many people will talk about psychopaths when we talk about this kind of murder,\" said the criminologist. \"Looking at the murder itself, there was an awful lot more violence and abuse than was needed to end the victim's life. \"This was somebody who didn't just want to kill Ron; they wanted to utterly destroy him.\" You might also be interested in What happened to Carole Packman? Corrie Mckeague: The mystery of the airman who disappeared - BBC News 'He took the train to London and was never seen again' Police spoke to everyone whose fingerprints had been identified in the house. The day after the body was found, officers questioned two people - a 16-year-old boy and a 32-year-old man. Neither were charged with the murder, but the latter was convicted of burgling Ron six weeks before he was killed. Later that year, a Crimewatch appeal with a detailed reconstruction of the day of the murder prompted more than 40 calls, and a £5,000 reward for information was put up. But by April 1996, two years on from Ron's death, there was just one officer working on the case. Three further arrests were made in 2005, but all the suspects were released without charge. Despite the lack of police progress, the pensioner's relatives, colleagues and friends have never given up hope of a breakthrough. David's wife, Wendy Ketley, said she has at times been \"quite excited\" about advancements in DNA testing, believing new technology could finally provide the family with closure. Given that Essex Police still has the evidence recovered from Ron's house, potential new links to suspects could still be found, said Dr Denise Syndercombe Court. \"Twenty-four years ago, you would have to have a bloodstain that you can see quite easily,\" said the professor in forensic genetics at Kings College. \"Now we can analyse a handful of cells that you couldn't see even under a microscope [back then].\" The professor said in Ron's case, the Bible pages stuffed into his mouth could prove to have the DNA on them of whoever killed him. \"They might not have left any blood; they might not have been injured themselves. \"So typically you're looking for things that they might have handled, things they might have touched.\" But, she said, detectives might struggle to match the DNA to whoever might have committed the crime unless they were on the national database. Essex Police said its cold case team still regularly reviews the investigation - the force sent evidence for DNA testing using new methods as recently as November. The cold case team says it has now received the results but they generated no new leads. Det Insp Truss said there are a number of people who have not been ruled out of the investigation, but would not be drawn on names. However, a teacher at Chelmsford Prison remembers one such name being put forward by an inmate during a discussion about the effect of crime on victims and their families. \"I mentioned the case of Ron Cousins,\" recalls the teacher, who does not wish to be named. \"That's what caused the outburst of this chap who said, 'I know who did it' and said the name Brian Cutts.\" The BBC understands Mr Cutts, who was a former inmate and has now died, remains a suspect. But there are other ends yet to be tied up. The force would not say whether any link has ever been found between Ron's murder and an attack in nearby Tolleshunt D'Arcy, in which canon Eric Turner, 82, was kicked, gagged and tied up in an attempted robbery five days after the killing. Police said they \"could not see anything that links the clergyman attack to the Ronald Cousins case\". The Crimewatch appeal honed in on a man seen by witnesses outside Ron's front door on the day of the murder. A passer-by recalled seeing a figure with \"longish hair and a cream-type bomber jacket and deck shoes, but a bit on the scruffy side\". Det Insp Truss said he could not establish if the man had ever been identified, and could find no further records of the person. The BBC approached several of the detectives involved in the case but none were willing to be interviewed. Still hoping for answers is the Reverend Geoffrey Roper, a former minister at Christchurch United Reformed Church, where Ron was a regular. He described the murder as \"so bizarre\" and \"so sick\". \"The person who did it must have had a very disturbed relationship with God, with religion, with faith. \"In some ways it's sad and disturbing to bring these things up again, but it's right to keep a case open. \"And it's right that people should know murder will out.\" To hear more about the Ron Cousins case, visit BBC Essex.",

Instead, it sent the star hurtling through space at 900,000 km/hr. Astronomers think the object, known as a white dwarf, was originally circling another star, which would have been sent flying in the opposite direction. When two stars orbit each other like this, they are described as a \"binary\". Only one of the stars has been detected by astronomers, however. The object, known as SDSS J1240+6710, was previously found to have an unusual atmospheric composition. Discovered in 2015, it seemed to contain neither hydrogen nor helium (which are usually found), appearing to be composed instead of an unusual mix of oxygen, neon, magnesium and silicon. Now, using the Hubble Space Telescope, an international team has also identified carbon, sodium, and aluminium in the star's atmosphere, all of which are produced in the first thermonuclear reactions of a supernova. But there is also a clear absence of what is known as the \"iron group\" of elements, iron, nickel, chromium and manganese. These heavier elements are normally cooked up from the lighter ones, and make up the defining features of thermonuclear supernovas. The lack of iron group elements in SDSSJ1240+6710 suggests that the star only underwent a partial supernova before the nuclear burning died out. Lead author Professor Boris Gänsicke, from the department of physics at the University of Warwick, UK, said: \"This star is unique because it has all the key features of a white dwarf but it has this very high velocity and unusual abundances that make no sense when combined with its low mass. \"It has a chemical composition which is the fingerprint of nuclear burning, a low mass and a very high velocity; all of these facts imply that it must have come from some kind of close binary system and it must have undergone thermonuclear ignition. It would have been a type of supernova, but of a kind that that we haven't seen before.\" The high velocity could be accounted for if both stars in the binary were carried off in opposite directions at their orbital velocities in a kind of slingshot manoeuvre after the explosion. The scientists were also able to measure the star's mass, which is particularly low for a white dwarf - only 40% the mass of our Sun - which would be consistent with a partial supernova that did not quite destroy the star. The nature of the nuclear burning that occurs in a supernova is different from the reactions that release energy in nuclear power plants or most nuclear weapons. Most uses of nuclear energy on Earth rely on fission - which breaks down heavier elements into lighter ones - rather than the fusion that occurs in a star. \"The process developing during a thermonuclear supernova is very similar to what we try to achieve on Earth in our future power plants: nuclear fusion of lighter elements into heavier ones, which releases vast amounts of energy,\" Prof Gänsicke told BBC News. \"In a fusion reactor, we use the lightest element, hydrogen (more specifically, different flavours, or isotopes of it). In a thermonuclear supernova, the density and temperature in the star becomes so high that fusion of heavier elements ignites, starting with carbon and oxygen as 'fuel', and fusing heavier and heavier elements.\" The best studied thermonuclear supernovas are classified as Type Ia. These helped lead to the discovery of dark energy, and are now routinely used to map the structure of the Universe. But there is growing evidence that thermonuclear supernovas can happen under very different conditions. SDSSJ1240+6710 may be the survivor of a type of supernova that hasn't yet been observed as it's happening. Without the radioactive nickel that powers the long-lasting afterglow of the Type Ia supernovas, the explosion that sent the white dwarf careering across our Galaxy would have been a brief flash of light that would have been difficult to discover. The research has been published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society. Follow Paul on Twitter.",

Wozniak says he often finds Android human speech recognition software is more accurate than Apple's Siri. \"Sometimes I say 'Go to Joe's Diner' and [Siri] doesn't know where Joe's Diner is. And very often usually I find out that Android does.\" Wozniak says this is due to Android's access to Google's search engine. \"That is actually the future of intelligence probably for computers getting smarter and getting artificial intelligence. I wish to God that Apple and Google were partners in the future.\" But how likely would a partnership between the two companies be? \"I don't know. If I were there, it would be pretty likely. I'm probably wrong, there's probably an awful lot I don't know about the business concerns and one thing you've got to remember is a company has always got to make money,\" says Wozniak. Encouraging openness and sharing information and methods would benefit everyone to develop the best technology, Wozniak says. \"I believe you should have a world where you've got to license something at a fair price. There are good things I see on Samsung phones that I wish were in my iPhone. I wish Apple would use them and could use them, and I don't know if Samsung would stop us,\" he says. \"I wish everybody just did a lot of cross-licensing and sharing the good technology, all our products would be better, we'd go further. I do wish they were more compatible.\" Better gadgets Wozniak believes more sharing between companies would lead to developments in bigger and better technology in wearable tech, like smartwatches and augmented reality glasses. \"I want a full smartphone-like capability on my wrist. The trouble is the more I think about it, I don't want the small size. \"We're just at the verge of having products that have foldability and flexibility,\" he says. \"For about three or four years I've been talking about organic LED displays that could be theoretically printed on plastic, wrapped and folded,\" he says. \"But think outside of the box. It could be on the inside of your arm and then when you flip your arm up it could actually flip open into your own hand.\" Despite his legacy, Wozniak is not seen as an Apple insider these days. But he is still beloved by many of the Mac faithful. \"His comments aren't influential in any shape or form. He was one of the founders of Apple and walked away, so the fan boys love him.

            "input": "By Mal SiretBBC News Alberto Curamil, of the Mapuche community, won the Goldman prize - considered the Nobel of environmental activism - for mobilising local people, lawyers and scientists in Chile's Araucanía region to stop the construction of dams he argued would destroy forests, rivers and wildlife. In 2016, Chile cancelled plans for the hydroelectric projects on the Cautín River, citing public opposition for one and lack of consent and adequate assessment of environmental impacts for the other. Mr Curamil, who was announced as one of six winners on Monday, could not be present to accept the prize following his arrest last August. He denies any wrongdoing and his lawyers say his incarceration - pending trial later this year - is politically motivated. Mr Curamil's daughter Belén, 18, accepted the award on his behalf at a ceremony in San Francisco. Speaking from the podium on Monday, she said: \"The Mapuche struggle is an ecological struggle, it is a struggle for life and its continuity... We are people of the Earth, whose main mandate is to protect everything that makes existence possible, based on a spirituality connected with the natural elements.\" Who is Alberto Curamil? The 45-year-old is a leader of the Alianza Territorial Mapuche (ATM). The group claims his detention is \"the culmination of a long process of political persecution\". Mr Curamil, who has worked to protect local rivers and forests, has also helped the Mapuche preserve their native language (Mapudungun) and defend their culture. His battle against plans to install dams along the Cautín River began in 2013 after the projects, agreed by the government and two private energy companies, were announced without consulting the Mapuche. He began a campaign of street protests and rallies, inviting people who were not members of the Mapuche community to participate. He also sought advice from environmental experts and lawyers, before highlighting the concerns of both indigenous peoples and scientists in a court case. Chilean law stipulates that prior and informed consent must be received before undertaking any development project. The courts later ruled in favour of the Mapuche, stating that the projects would have been detrimental to the communities in the area, altering the environment and the course of a river that was culturally important. A fellow campaigner and representative of the Mapuche community, Miguel Melín, told the BBC's Alejandra Martins that Mr Curamil saw the Goldman award as \"an acknowledgment not to him in personal terms, but to the struggle that the communities of the territory and the Mapuche people have given in general\". Police arrested Mr Curamil for alleged participation in criminal activity and he has now been detained for nine months. His lawyer, Manuela Royo, told the BBC that his trial was likely to begin in July or August. Members of the ATM group recently posted an image on Twitter showing Mapuche students \"demanding the freedom\" of the indigenous leader. What makes the river so special? The Cautín River flows through the heart of Curacautín, a community in the region of Araucanía in central-southern Chile. It is an important part of the landscape in the region, not only for environmental and agricultural reasons, but because it holds spiritual value to the indigenous Mapuche people. In the parts where the dams would have been located, locals believe the clean waters and vegetation provide remedies used by Mapuche to practice a traditional form of medicine called \"machi\". As Mr Curamil argued, the dam projects were not only illegal, but would have diverted hundreds of millions of gallons of water from the river each day, harming the critical ecosystem and exacerbating drought conditions in the area. A 2017 study published on the journal website Brill found that the Cautín River does indeed provide an important ecosystem in the region, not only because it contains numerous fish and freshwater crabs, but because of the aquatic insects that it attracts. Who are the Mapuche? The Mapuche are an indigenous community who say they belong to the land - \"mapu\" means land, and \"che\" means people. Some 9% of Chileans define themselves as Mapuche, making them the largest indigenous group in Chile. Before the arrival of the Spanish in the 16th Century, the Mapuche inhabited a vast swathe of land in the country's south. They resisted conquest until the late 19th Century, when they were rounded up into small communities. Much of their land was subsequently sold off to farmers and forestry companies. In recent years, tensions have increased and the Mapuche have waged a sometimes violent campaign to win back that land, often clashing with logging companies and farmers. Armed groups of radical activists have been burning houses, churches, lorries and forest plantations with increasing frequency to highlight their discontent with the way they have been treated. Chile's President Sebastián Piñera has said he is focusing on solving the centuries-old conflict with the Mapuche, and there are some signs of progress. Last year, Emilia Nuyado and Aracely Leuquén became the first two women of the indigenous Mapuche group to become members of Chile's Congress. What is the Goldman award? The Goldman Environmental Prize was created in 1989 by US philanthropists Richard and Rhoda Goldman. Prize winners are selected by an international jury from nominations submitted by a global network of organisations and individuals, according to the award's official website. The annual Goldman prize is awarded to activists from six regions around the world. Winners each receive $200,000 (£154,000). Other winners this year are:",

He told a Stormont committee that they could be used to alleviate staffing pressures and help with some clinical roles. His department has made 20 ventilator machines available to health colleagues if needed. This is in an attempt to increase intensive care capacity. \"One of the things our department can offer if this crisis is bad enough is the assistance of our veterinarians in hospitals. \"If there's additional pressures put on there and we have got the ventilation equipment and there's staffing problems in the hospitals then that can be provided,\" he told the assembly's Ad Hoc Covid-19 Response Committee. It is believed vets could help with things like monitoring patients who are under anaesthetic. Some departmental vets, who are experts in disease control, could help the Public Health Agency when it comes to community testing and establishing patterns of disease incidence. A Department of Agriculture (DAERA) spokesperson said: \"The department has offered assistance to the Public Health Agency NI and is exploring the potential for DAERA veterinary staff to support the health service in a number of ways. \"We want to do all we possibly can to help.\" 'Contingency measure' Some vets have been placed on furlough by private practice and it is thought they might be in a position to help in hospitals. The department has also done an audit of equipment in private practices to see what might be useful in an emergency. It is understood ventilators used in veterinary practices are the same as those used in hospitals with only minor adjustments. It includes anaesthesia and monitoring equipment and machines to generate oxygen. It has been detailed on a register to be offered to the health service if needed. One vet said if they were involved it would most likely be at the level of \"physician associate\" working to complement the roles of doctors and nurses. The Agriculture department also said that a lab in one of its non-departmental bodies will help with the testing of health service staff to establish if they have the virus. The facility at the Agri-Food and Biosciences Institute will be able to deliver up to 1,000 test results a day at peak. Vets a resource Northern Ireland's Chief Veterinary Officer Robert Huey said vets used to ventilating animals could use those same skills to monitor the wellbeing of human patients. \"Vets are very good at decision making and very good at thinking on their feet.

The Army and Navy will open also roles to all genders over the next 12-18 months. The main role of the 2,000-strong RAF Regiment, which sustained casualties in Afghanistan, is to patrol and protect RAF bases and airfields. Women make up 14% of the air force as a whole - compared to 10% for the whole military. BBC Defence Correspondent Jonathan Beale says it is a significant moment because it means women can now apply for any RAF role, from fighter pilot to ground support. 'Diverse Force' The RAF's women will not be the first women allowed to serve in close combat roles, as some recently joined the Army's Royal Armoured Corps, but they are still excluded from several of the Army's regiments. It will be another year before women can apply to enter infantry units, and the Navy's Royal Marines, where the physical demands can be tougher. In July, Defence Secretary Sir Michael Fallon announced that the RAF Regiment would be open to them from September - ahead of its original 2018 schedule. He said at the time: \"A diverse force is a more operationally effective force.\" 'Strain on the body' The former head of British forces in Afghanistan, Colonel Richard Kemp, told BBC Breakfast he \"vehemently disagrees\" that women should be serving in close combat roles - because of their physical capability. He said: \"Once you have got through selection, you are subjecting yourself to a minimum of four years of intensive physical training, day in and day out, in barracks and out of barracks, which puts enough of a strain on a man's body.\" Quoting statistics that women sustain around twice as many serious injuries as men do during training, Colonel Kemp added: \"I think the reality is we will find many more women than men suffer injuries… and we will then undoubtedly see very significant compensation payments being made out of the defence budget. \"And the nature of woman's bodies means that some of the injuries are going to be more significant in terms of being able to bear children and the like. \"I am not a doctor, but I have certainly read up on this and that is a problem.\" However, a former major in the British Army, Judith Webb, said it had been proven that women were \"well capable\" of the roles. She told the programme: \"My concern has always been to ensure that research is carried out so that women know exactly what they are in line for. \"Being aware of our physical differences is an important aspect, but that is where I feel research has now been carried out.\" Major Webb added: \"We want to promote diversity and get the best people, and if we have got women who want to do it, who are capable of doing it - then of course they should be able to do it.\"",

The mother-of-twins, from Brockenhurst, started campaigning for better facilities seven years ago, when her children Erica and Hadley were three. Mrs Brisdion said Hadley faced the indignity of having to lay on the floor when he became too heavy for baby changing facilities. \"It dominates what you can do and where you can go if you are constantly having to think about lying on a toilet floor to be changed or using the loo in the car... so you choose not to go out,\" she said. \"This opens up loads more opportunities for us and thousands of people - giving them options of places they haven't been able to go to before.\" She added they were opportunities \"many take for granted\". Hadley, who is now 10, said things were \"certainly improving\". He added: \"I remember when I used to have to lie on the floor and it's not very comfortable to say the least. \"It feels horrible, you're uncomfortable, you're lying down, you're trying to get changed, what are you supposed to do?

Most au pairs in the UK are from Europe and tend to find families through agencies or on websites - but there is no regulation in place to police the system, and some au pairs allege they have been mistreated and overworked by their host families. \"By accident, by deleting the visa, they created this non-regulation of au pairs. It was an oversight,\" Dr Cox said. She said that under the current set-up, both au pairs and their employers were at risk because neither were required to have background checks. \"You could be on the sex offenders register and you'd still be allowed to host an au pair in your house,\" the academic said. Dr Cox believes the authorities need to create a clear definition of what an au pair is and set up regulations for au pair agencies. \"They need to take responsibility for the situation they've created,\" she said. 'I felt really uncomfortable and unsafe' Ellie (not her real name) had her first experience of au pairing in the UK came when she worked for a family in south-east England. She says she found herself in a home where \"the kids were violent because they saw their mother be violent with their father\". Ellie said: \"I felt really uncomfortable and unsafe... the mother was screaming all the time.\" She said she was given tasks far beyond an au pair's duties and also had to work weekends, despite being told she would have them off. Ellie said she was supposed to work 30 to 40 hours a week but in fact did 70 hours each week, starting at 6am and finishing at 8 or 9pm. She added: \"When you are an au pair you want the family to welcome you as a part of the family, not just a domestic slave.\" 'She scared me so much' Isabella (not her real name) said she also had a \"really bad\" first experience of au pairing in the UK. She moved into a home in London where she carried out work such as cleaning and looking after the family's children. \"The mother said 'you are part of the family, don't worry'... but after two weeks they say 'I pay you too much, you don't do anything,'\" she said. Isabella said she found herself working more than 12 hours a day and also at weekends, but found little sympathy from the mother when she was struggling. \"She told me, 'I'm a mum I understand you, you want to speak with your mum, but you can't when you work for me'. \"She scared me so much... after two weeks, I escaped from this family and I went into a hostel.\" 'They are always asking me for cuddles' Of course not all au pairs have bad experiences. Anna Souto, 25, found her family on a website and came over from Spain in September after a series of chats with them online. \"From the first minute I arrived [in London] I felt like a member of the family... they are really nice with me.\" Anna added that she is given plenty of free time. She said: \"They are such lovely kids so for me it's really easy to be with them. \"They are always asking me for cuddles.\" 'They're so vulnerable' Maggie Dyer runs an agency that places au pairs with families. She believes many young women do not not realise the risks of going to live with a family they have never met. \"They're on their own when they come over here. They're so vulnerable,\" she said. \"I know of a girl who came over thinking she was going to be in London for a couple with some kids and a guy picked her up from the airport, took her right out into the country. \"There was no woman around, just him and the kids... she was totally isolated.\" Ms Dyer said many candidates contact her to find a new family after finding themselves in difficult situations. \"Some of them are working all hours. They get completely bullied by families. \"I know someone who was locked in, and wasn't let her out for her language course.\" Government guidance on au pairing in the UK: A spokesman from the Department for Business said: \"The au pair programme is an international scheme offering people the chance to live and experience cultures abroad while carrying out childcare or light domestic work.\" He added: \"If an au pair is a victim of modern slavery, which includes forced or compulsory work, slavery, servitude and human trafficking, this should be reported to the police immediately.\"",

The upward revision is mainly due to manufacturing industry having done better than thought. The ONS cut its estimate for growth in 2016 as a whole to 1.8%, down from the 2% it forecast last month. This downward revision pushes UK slightly below Germany, with an estimate of 1.9%, in the G7 growth league, said John Hawksworth, chief economist at PwC, \"though the difference is well within the margin of error on any such early GDP estimates.\" The downward revision appeared to have been prompted by weaker North Sea oil and gas production during the first six months of 2016, and did not reflect the underlying strength of the UK economy, he added. \"Excluding oil and gas output, estimated UK GDP growth might actually have been revised up in 2016,\" added Mr Hawksworth. The third revision of the figures will be on 31 March, after the Budget on 8 March. \"Unfortunately, this means that the chancellor won't be able to say that the UK was the fastest-growing G7 economy in 2016 in his upcoming Budget - Germany grew by 1.9%,\" said Capital Economics UK economist Paul Hollingsworth. Brexit 'uncertainty' The ONS also said there had been a slowdown in business investment, which fell by 1% compared with the three months to the end of September. It attributes that to \"subdued growth\" in investment in information and communications technology equipment, as well as \"other machinery and equipment\". Shilen Shah, a bond strategist at Investec Wealth & Investment, said: \"Somewhat disappointingly, business investment fell on the quarter, with hints that Brexit uncertainty is hitting business confidence.\" However, the dominant services sector continued to grow steadily, \"due in part to continued growth in consumer spending, although retail showed some signs of weakness in the last couple of months of 2016, which has continued into January 2017,\" according to ONS head of GDP Darren Morgan. \"UK GDP may have gained some momentum into the end of 2016, but recent news from UK seems to have shown that that momentum has been lost in the early weeks of 2017,\" said Jeremy Cook, chief economist at the international payments company, World First. \"Services growth is set to slow, buffeted by rising inflation and slowing real wage gains and a consumer that is not waving but drowning.\" This was a point picked up by Samuel Tombs, chief UK economist at Pantheon Macroeconomics, who tweeted. \"UK GDP breakdown shows real household spend up 0.7%, even though employees' compensation grew by just 0.1%.

The Health and Social Care Board says staffing difficulties have meant \"longer than acceptable\" waiting times. The plan is to reduce the current number of specialist breast cancer services. Instead, so-called centres of excellence are hoped to be provided. For instance, there is a question mark over the future of assessment services in the Southern Health Trust. While its two mobile screening units will remain, the BBC understands that on-going staffing levels could mean that women who require further assessment may have to attend a different health trust. It is understood three potential locations are being considered - Altnagelvin, Dundonald and Antrim Area Hospitals. Plans to transform the local health and social care system includes less duplication of services. 'Staffing difficulties' While that could mean hospital buildings not closing, services inside could be dramatically transformed. For instance a hospital might lose or gain a service. That could mean specialist staff and patients being expected to travel elsewhere, maybe even a little further, to get the expertise required. In a statement, the Health and Social Care Board (HSC Board) and Public Health Agency (PHA) said there have been challenges in recent years to meet waiting list targets due to \"difficulties in recruiting and retaining specialist staff in a number of trusts\". \"While a number of measures have helped to improve the waiting times for those referred for breast assessment, the need for a more sustainable model of care which can provide an assessment, within target timescales, for all people with a suspicion of breast cancer is widely recognised,\" it added. It says a project board was established last year, which is expected to send a report to the Department of Health in December. \"A consultation on the recommendations is expected during early 2019,\" the statement added.",

Speaker of parliament Rebecca Kadaga recently said the bill would be passed as a \"Christmas gift\" to its advocates. Homosexual acts are illegal in Uganda - this bill increases the penalties. Foreign donors have threatened to cut aid if gay rights are not respected. The bill, tabled by MP David Bahati, proposes longer jail terms for homosexual acts, including a life sentence in certain circumstances. In its original form, those convicted of \"aggravated homosexuality\" - defined as when one of the participants is a minor, HIV-positive, disabled or a \"serial offender\" - faced the death penalty. Such offences would now be punished with life imprisonment, it is understood. The original bill also prohibited the \"promotion\" of gay rights and called for the punishment of anyone who \"funds or sponsors homosexuality\" or \"abets homosexuality\". Mr Bahati has previously said that the death penalty provision would be dropped but this has not been confirmed until now. Mr Segona, who is on the Legal and Parliamentary committee of Uganda's parliament, told the BBC: \"I can confirm it has been dropped.\" \"Some of us who are human rights activists would discourage the death penalty,\" he said. Foreign pressure The next step is for parliament to debate the bill. Mr Segona said he thought this would happen before the Christmas break but said he could not be more precise. The BBC's Ignatius Bahizi in the capital, Kampala, says that the bill has broad support in parliament. But he notes that President Yoweri Museveni would have to sign it before it comes law - and the president may come under intense international pressure not to do so. The bill was strongly condemned last year by Western leaders, including US President Barack Obama who described it as \"odious\". International donors have threatened to cut off aid to Uganda if the country does not do more to protect the rights of gay people. Last month, Uganda's speaker of parliament was involved in a row with Canada's Foreign Minister John Baird over gay rights at a meeting of the Inter-Parliamentary Union in Quebec. She received a rapturous welcome from several hundred anti-gay activists, including religious leaders, at Uganda's Entebbe airport when she returned from her trip. Correspondents say many Ugandans are deeply conservative, and say homosexuality is against their religious and cultural beliefs.",

            "input": "The Garden Bridge Trust needs to raise an estimated £185m to complete the project. But its latest annual accounts show a shortfall of £56m. However, Garden Bridge Trust chair Lord Davies said trustees still expected construction to start this year. The trust's accounts for 2016 filed with Companies House show it has yet to secure the land on the South Bank of the Thames for the bridge's southern landing. They also show that the trust may need additional funding that would not be repayable \"if the project is not able to proceed\" in the first half of this year. And the accounts raise the possibility that \"in a worst-case scenario\" the trust might have to consider \"whether the project remains viable\". If the project does not go ahead, London mayor Sadiq Khan has estimated that £40m of public money already spent would be lost to taxpayers. In total the trust said it had received financial commitments totalling £129m from private investors, donors or public funds. Of that, £60m is to come from the Department of Transport and Transport for London (TfL), £20m of which will be repaid to TfL by the trust over time. But of the £39m raised in 2016 for the project, £26m came from the DfT, meaning the trust raised only £13m last year. In the accounts, Lord Davies warns: \"Due to material uncertainties in existence ahead of finalising these accounts trustees are unable to conclude that the trust is a going concern and feel it only appropriate to flag these risks. \"It is hoped that these will be resolved over the months ahead but since a number of these risks are outside of the control of the trustees, they recognised that if this is not possible they will need to consider the further delay to the project, and in a worst-case scenario, whether the project remains viable.\" The Garden Bridge has been beset with problems. In September Mr Khan ordered a review into whether the public had so far been given value for money from the project, adding he believed there had not \"been the necessary standard of transparency and openness around the Garden Bridge\". That review, led by Dame Margaret Hodge, a former chair of the House of Commons Public Accounts Committee, has yet to report back but Mr Khan has already said that no more taxpayer money will be provided to fund the project. In October it emerged that former prime minister David Cameron had ignored the advice of civil servants over Garden Bridge funding, personally intervening to approve extra taxpayer money for the controversial project. The National Audit Office (NOA) said at the time that nearly £23m of taxpayer money was at risk of being lost.",

Non-urgent outpatient appointments and surgical procedures were suspended by the Welsh Government in March. A fertility charity has warned patients could still be \"stuck in limbo\". This is because they cannot undergo the tests needed to be referred to a fertility clinic, Fertility Network UK said. And one provider set to open on Monday warned it would not be at full capacity due to social-distancing requirements. Earlier this month, the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA), which regulates UK fertility clinics, said clinics across the UK could apply to re-open from 11 May if they could show they could provide safe and effective treatment. Two of Wales' three NHS fertility treatment providers - the Shropshire and Mid Wales Fertility Centre and the Hewitt Fertility Centre in Liverpool - said their applications to re-open had been approved by the HFEA, and services would resume on Monday. Mrs Faulkiner-Farrow said it had been a difficult time for her and husband James. The couple had their first round of fertility treatment in January 2019. It was successful and she became pregnant with twins, but lost them early in the pregnancy. \"I was thinking that these treatments wouldn't start again until 2021,\" she said. \"And next year I would have been 39, and that sits with you heavy. \"The difference between being able to conceive in the next couple of months compared to next year… that could be the difference. \"They don't realise how much hope that's given us.\" The Shropshire and Mid Wales Fertility Centre said it hoped treatments would start again on 15 June. The Hewitt Fertility Centre said capacity would be limited to allow social distancing. The third provider for Welsh NHS patients, the Wales Fertility Institute, said it hoped to relaunch fertility services \"as quickly as possible\". Ms Faulkiner-Farrow, who has a 13-year-old son, Tristan, from a previous marriage, said she had not heard from her clinic yet, but would be getting in touch. The re-opening of a number of clinics is \"reassuring\", according to Alice Matthews, Wales co-ordinator for Fertility Network UK, but she urged caution. \"A large number are still unable to undergo the investigatory tests needed before even being referred to a tertiary fertility clinic,\" she said. \"Until these vital outpatient appointments can resume, there will still be a large number of people who are stuck in limbo, feeling isolated, anxious and ill-informed about their condition.\" The Welsh Government said it appreciated the anxiety the situation had caused, adding that all fertility services had been asked to submit plans on how they would re-open safely. The London Women's Clinic Wales, a private provider, said its application to re-open had been approved. Another, the Centre for Reproduction and Gynaecology Wales, said it had applied to re-open and was hoping to resume treatment from July.",

It uncovered serious issues in the financial management of the charity. New trustees have since been appointed, the commission said, and an action plan to make improvements implemented. The charity, based on Mansel Road, works to rehabilitate people mainly suffering from alcohol and drug addiction. The Charity Commission said it began its inquiry after repeated failures to submit accounting information and concerns over management. Its investigation, published on Monday, found the former manager directly authorised their own salary, overtime and bonus payments from the charity's bank account. The former trustee meanwhile received unauthorised payments totalling £40,645. Analysis of the charity's bank statements also showed the charity paid £295,688 to a company whose only directors are the former trustee and manager, and records did not include sufficient evidence to support these payments. The inquiry did, however, find the former trustee did not benefit from these payments whilst they were a trustee at the charity. The inquiry concluded there had been \"misconduct and/or mismanagement in the administration of the charity\". It disqualified the former manager on 13 December 2019 and secured a \"voluntary undertaking\" from the former trustee on 24 August 2020. It means both are prevented from being a charity trustee or senior manager of a charity for four and six years respectively.

            "input": "The victims The women were identified by the Metropolitan Police as a 30-year-old Briton, a 57-year-old Irish woman and a 69-year-old Malaysian. Their names have not yet been released, but police have said they are investigating their relationship to each other. The police do not think they were trafficked to the UK. Commander Steve Rodhouse said: \"We believe that two of the victims met the male suspect in London through a shared political ideology, and that they lived together at an address that you could effectively call a 'collective'.\" The Met believes the 30-year-old had spent her whole life in conditions of servitude. Officers have recovered a birth certificate for the woman, but no other official papers. Det Insp Kevin Hyland, from the Met's Human Trafficking Unit, said the women were \"highly traumatised\". He said they had been \"held in servitude for at least 30 years with no real exposure to the outside world\". Aneeta Prem from Freedom Charity, who helped rescue the women, said they were doing \"remarkably well\" considering what they had experienced. Where were they held? Police are making house-to-house inquiries in the Brixton area of south London as part of the investigation. The women were rescued from an address in Peckford Place, Brixton. The suspects A man, 73, and a woman, 67, were arrested at 07:30 GMT on 21 November on suspicion of being involved in forced labour and domestic servitude, as well as immigration offences. They have been released on bail but have not returned to the house where they were arrested. The BBC understands the pair are Aravindan Balakrishnan and his wife Chanda, neither of whom are British nationals. Police said the couple came to the UK from India and Tanzania in the 1960s, and are said to have been in the UK \"for many years\". According to Marxist archives they were leading figures at the Mao Zedong Memorial Centre based in Acre Lane, Brixton, south London, in the 1970s. Both suspects had previously been arrested by the Met in the 1970s, but the force declined to give details of what for. The couple has been linked to 13 addresses across London, police have said. The rescue The Irish woman called Freedom Charity on 18 October and told them she had been held against her will at a house in London for more than 30 years, and said there were two others with her. She called the charity after seeing a TV documentary about forced marriage. Ms Prem said the woman had used the phone in secret, with the people in the house unaware that she had it. Freedom Charity alerted the Met's Sexual Offences Exploitation and Child Abuse Command on the same day and it was passed on to the Human Trafficking Unit on 21 October. After days of \"sensitive negotiations\" conducted by the charity, the British woman and the Irish woman left the house when the owners were not in, to meet with the police and workers from the charity on 25 October at an agreed location. The women told them where the house where they had been held was, and the Malaysian woman was then rescued by the police. All three were taken to what the police described as \"a place of safety\". Commander Rodhouse said the focus was on the women's physical safety \"but their emotional and mental well being also. \"To gain the trust and confidence of highly traumatised victims takes time, and this must move at their pace, not anyone else's.\" How they were treated It probably appeared to the outside world that the three women and the two suspects were a \"normal\" family, the police said, living in an unremarkable house in a normal street. The police said that the women had some \"controlled freedom\", and officers were trying to understand the \"invisible handcuffs\" that were used to exert control over the women. Police do not believe the women were sexually abused, but said they had described being beaten. The 30-year-old is alleged to have written more than 200 impassioned letters and poems to her neighbour over an eight-year period, the Daily Mail reported. In one of the letters, she said she felt like a \"fly trapped in a spider's web\" and described her \"unspeakable torment\". On 27 November, police said they were due to interview the victims under the guidance of trauma specialists. Mr Rodhouse said there may have been \"many and varied offences\" against the women but that their ordeal may not be defined as modern day slavery. \"We need to maintain an open mind on what this particular incident is before we jump to those conclusions and labels,\" Mr Rodhouse said. But he added: \"The crucial issue for us is that, on the basis of the information that we've had indirectly from victims, clearly criminal offences have been committed. What we need to do now is to understand that in much more detail.\" Mr Rodhouse also said his team had requested court papers from the inquest into the death of Sian Davies, who was fatally injured when she fell from a window of a house used by the political group in Herne Hill, south London. Police were not called to the house at the time of her death but Mr Rodhouse is looking at which inquiries officers carried out on behalf of the coroner, who reached an open verdict. Some 47 officers are working on the investigation, contacting 50 potential witnesses as part of their inquiry.",

'Truly terrible' Both Champion and his partner, Amanda Miles, 42, were previously found guilty in their absence at Bodmin Magistrates' Court of five counts of causing unnecessary suffering to animals, in June and July of 2015. Judge Christopher Harvey Clark said the lurchers, mastiffs, terriers and German shepherds were found in a \"truly terrible state\". He disqualified Champion from keeping dogs for life. Emmi Wilson, for the prosecution, said Champion used Dettol to try to rid the dogs of fleas. The vet who examined the dogs said a greyhound called Flora with a wide cut to her neck was \"a walking skeleton\". Chris Andrews, for the defence, said Champion \"would describe himself as a dog lover\". He said Champion and Miles had taken in the animals but became unable to cope due to financial problems. The couple gave the dogs to rescue charities which contacted the RSPCA when they saw the condition of the dogs. Champion had previously been disqualified from keeping dogs for three years following a conviction in June 2011 for cruelty to a pitbull. Miles was previously sentenced to 70 days in prison, suspended for 12 months for animal health offences.

Brig Chris Coles told an inquest there were \"quite a number of things that could and should have been better\" at the time of his death in June 1995. He was found with five bullet wounds to his chest shortly after being told he was being discharged from the Army. Brig Coles addressed Pte Benton's sister, Tracy Lewis, and twin brother Tony at Woking Coroner's Court before being taken through a statement he made in November. He told the family: \"The statement acknowledges quite a number of things that could and should have been better at the time of Sean's death. \"The set-up of Deepcut and the ratio of instructors and trainees was not as it should have been and not as it would be now, and that led to the risk that people in training in Deepcut... their welfare was not properly attended to in the way it should have been, and for that I'm very sorry.\" Earlier, the hearing heard Pte Benton had been \"shackled\" and forced to \"parade around\" a canteen months before he died. He had also told his sister he had been \"jailed\" at the base for 10 days, understood to have been a punishment for breaking a window. Brig Coles told the inquest there was no formal welfare policy at the barracks in 1995 and junior officers had issued punishments \"informally\" and that \"at times the frequency and severity of the punishments given strayed beyond what was appropriate\". He told the inquest that when Pte Benton was at Deepcut there was \"too little supervision\", with one corporal to 100 soldiers during the day, and one to 200 at night. \"There would have been times when there was a risk when pastoral and welfare care was reduced.\" 'Flawed practice' The inquest heard trainees at the barracks worked as guards and it was not unusual for them to be armed while doing so. Brig Coles said there would have been \"degrees of ability and familiarity\" with the weapons. \"As a practice in 1995 it was flawed. There were better ways of doing it.\" He said \"greater attention\" should have been paid to the risks of self-harm by the trainees while on armed guard duty. On 9 June Pte Benton went to the gate to relieve another guard of his duty, who had handed over his weapon to him, the inquest was told. Brig Coles said there was no explicit instructions to trainees about handing over weapons. He also said the excessive amounts of alcohol was \"undoubtedly consumed\" on the base by some \"from time to time\". The inquest, which is taking place without a jury, continues.",

            "input": "Robert PestonEconomics editor Probably the most interesting stat for me was that regular pay - excluding bonuses - saw a 2.2% increase in February and a 1.8% rise in the three months to Feb. And for the first time since serious records began, that headline rise is the real rise - because CPI inflation is 0%. It is striking that fears of employers significantly shrinking pay rises with the disappearance of inflation have not materialised: there is no sign in the UK of so-called bad deflation (which of course means the Bank of England remains on course to push up interest rates, rather than cut them). Here is the thing: regular pay has been growing at a faster rate than inflation since last October, after years of lagging inflation. And what is more, pay rises in the private sector, which provides more than four-fifths of all employment, are even greater, at 2.6% in one month and 2.2% over three months. Also, the employment rate of 73.4% is the highest since comparable records began in 1971. And the unemployment rate of 5.6% is down from 8% in early 2010 and is only a fraction higher than it was before the great crash and recession: it was 5.2% in February 2008. This combination of jobs growth and pay rises is just what David Cameron and George Osborne hoped and prayed would happen when they set the UK on a path of austerity, both massively shrinking public sector employment - from more than 21% of all UK jobs in 2010 to 17.4% today - and freezing public-sector pay. They assumed they would receive an electoral reward for being tough on the deficit - the record 10% gap between public spending and tax revenues - so long as real pay rose a good few months before polling day and unemployment fell. So if the economy is delivering the fruits promised by Cameron and Osborne, why no dividend for them? The conventional explanations, that all the new jobs are going to foreigners or are insecure part time jobs, are not backed up by the stats. So for example of the 567,000 created over the past year, 281,000 were full time jobs for men and 167,000 were full time jobs for women. Part-time jobs were only a fifth of all new jobs. Also 61% of the new jobs went to UK nationals. What's more, the evidence suggests pay rises are translating - on average - into the first rises in real living standards for years, after taking account of inflation, benefits and taxes. That said, maybe the average is misleading. It is probable that the rises in average pay - both the headline rate and the real rate of disposable income - are disguising an uneven distribution of rises, such that those who have been in employment for longer and on higher pay are getting the lion's share of the improvement in living standards. But even if that is the case, it still does not quite explain why voters are not giving more of a hearing to the Conservatives (and are almost completely deaf to the Liberal Democrats).",

In November, he lost his High Court case, with judges saying court was \"not an appropriate forum for the discussion of the sanctity of life\". Mr Newby said he was \"disappointed\" with the Court of Appeal's decision. It is illegal in England and Wales to encourage or assist a death and holds a prison sentence of up to 14 years. Mr Newby's case proposed that judges should thoroughly examine a large amount of expert evidence - including from countries where assisted dying is legal - before deciding whether the law is incompatible with his human rights. He has raised more than £48,000 for the legal challenge as he wants people to have a right to choose a \"civilised ending\". It comes after MPs discussed assisted dying at a Westminster Hall debate last week. Mr Newby said: \"Whilst I am thoroughly disappointed that the appeal court has refused my case a hearing, this decision has made it clear that judges will not engage on the issue of assisted dying, which means that it is down to Parliament to act. \"Support for an inquiry into the evidence on assisted dying is growing among MPs, as demonstrated by the debate last week.\" He added: \"There is an abundance of evidence demonstrating the impact that the current law is having on families like mine up and down the country, and of safe practice in the many other countries that developed laws that provide dying people with choice.\" Dr Gordon Macdonald, chief executive of Care Not Killing, welcomed the decision. \"Evidence from around the world shows removing these protections puts vulnerable people at risk of abuse and of coming under pressure, real or perceived to end their lives prematurely, he said. \"Indeed, in the US states of Oregon and Washington a majority of those ending their lives cite fear of becoming a burden as a reason for doing so.\" If you have been affected by any of the issues in this article, you can visit BBC Action Line.

            "input": "By Kevin PeacheyPersonal finance reporter UK households spent the equivalent of $5,900 (£4,611) using payment cards online in 2015, the UK Cards Association said. This was higher than Norway ($5,400), the US ($4,500) and Australia ($4,000). The association suggested the frequency of debit and credit cards and the ease of delivering items drove online buys. New figures from the association showed that £154bn was spent on the internet using cards in 2016 - up by a quarter in two years. Cinema tickets Entertainment - such as cinema and concert tickets, takeaway orders and music downloads - accounted for one in four online card purchases in the UK. Some 67% of concert ticket spending and 61% of cinema, theatre and dance spending was made online, the association's figures showed. The popularity of renewing contracts such as insurance cover online, and payments into bank accounts over the internet also meant financial services registered considerable activity online. More than a quarter (27%) of what was spent online was in financial services. However, attempts of online retailers to make a mark in the grocery sector had so far failed in comparison to the use of cards in shops and supermarkets. Some 41% of in-store card purchases were on food and drink, compared with only 7% via the internet. Pawn shops, laundry and pubs, somewhat unsurprisingly, registered the least online shopping activity, the figures showed. Clicks or bricks Traditional retailers have felt a significant impact from the online shopping habits of customers. Earlier this week, High Street retailer Debenhams announced a change of strategy owing, in part, to fast-growing \"mobile interaction\". The plan means up to 10 of its 176 UK stores may be closed over the next five years. A central distribution warehouse and about 10 smaller warehouses could also be shut. A further cost burden was also felt, particularly by clothes retailers, as a result of online shoppers returning items they did not want during a statutory cooling-off period. Consumer analysts Savvy Marketing compiled figures for BBC Radio 4's You and Yours programme and found that among 1,000 online shoppers questioned, women's clothing had been returned by 63% of them. Retailers said free returns were an important part of their business, but the costs had to be recovered somewhere or they risked going under. Many shoppers still fear that online shopping opens the door to cyber-criminals, but Richard Koch, head of policy at the UK Cards Association, argued that security was improving. \"Since the early days of internet shopping there has been a host of innovations, from digital wallets to one click purchases, which bring enhanced security, choice and convenience for customers and which will lead to continued growth in the sector. \"The additional protection provided when using a card also gives consumers extra peace of mind when they are shopping online,\" he said. Concerns have also been raised over internet selling fuelling a rise in shopping addiction. Some mental health problems manifest themselves in compulsive buying, making purchases which are later regretted. This could lead those affected into a spiral of debt. A report by the Money and Mental Health Policy Institute suggested that 24-hour online shopping meant \"consumers who struggle to control their spending find themselves at greater risk than ever before\". Retailers send personalised emails to customers, based on previous purchases, which may include short-term discounts and promotions.",

Monday's hearing in New York City follows an FBI raid this month on the presidential lawyer's home and office, which Mr Hannity has called an anti-Trump \"witch hunt\". A vocal Trump advocate, Mr Hannity denied he was a client of Mr Cohen. The conservative host, who is known for passionately defending Mr Trump on his Fox News show against what he describes as biased attacks by the media, had never previously divulged any legal ties to the president's attorney. Fox News said in a statement: \"While Fox News was unaware of Sean Hannity's informal relationship with Michael Cohen and was surprised by the announcement in court yesterday, we have reviewed the matter and spoken to Sean and he continues to have our full support.\" What is the court case about? FBI agents who raided Mr Cohen's home and evidence were looking for evidence on various matters, including a $130,000 (£90,000) payment made to adult-film actress Stormy Daniels, who alleges she had an affair with Mr Trump and was paid \"hush money\". Monday saw the judge deny Mr Cohen's attempts to prevent prosecutors from reviewing the materials seized in the FBI raids. Mr Trump's attorney says the computers, phones and documents should be protected under attorney-client privilege. But Judge Kimba Wood ruled his application for a preliminary injunction was premature. The judge allowed prosecutors to proceed with the cataloguing of evidence seized in the raids while a system is set up to ensure that records protected by attorney-client privilege are not disclosed to investigators. But she will also consider appointing a \"special master\" to play a supervisory role in the process. More on Sean Hannity: Advertisers desert embattled Fox host ABC star's 'gay insult' in Fox News spat How did Hannity's name come up? Just before Monday's hearing, Mr Cohen said in a statement that he had only provided advice to three clients in the past year. One was Mr Trump. Another was a Republican fundraiser who admitted to paying a former Playboy model after she became pregnant during their affair. The third client, Mr Cohen said, had refused to give him permission to be publicly named. But Judge Wood made one of the lawyers identify Mr Hannity on Monday. There were gasps and some laughter in the courtroom after the announcement, and some journalists raced out of the courtroom to report the revelation. Mr Hannity later issued a statement of denial. \"Michael Cohen has never represented me in any matter,\" the Fox host said. \"I have occasionally had brief discussions with him about legal questions about which I wanted his input and perspective. \"I assumed those conversations were confidential, but to be absolutely clear they never involved any matter between me and a third party.\" In a post on Twitter, he said the advice \"dealt almost exclusively\" with real estate. He maintained it was no \"big deal\". After last week's raid on Mr Cohen's offices, Mr Hannity took to the airwaves to denounce the probe as a \"declared war against the president of the United States\". Did Stormy Daniels make an appearance, and what is her role in the case? Also in the Manhattan federal court was Ms Daniels, whose appearance triggered a scrum by photographers outside. Mr Cohen has admitted making a payment to the adult film actress, who claims the money was to keep her quiet about an affair she says she had with Mr Trump in 2006. Mr Trump's attorney says he made the payment just before the 2016 election, but maintains Mr Trump did not know about it. He is facing a criminal inquiry, which the president has strongly criticised. The payoff to Ms Daniels could amount to a campaign finance violation, say legal analysts. The White House has denied Mr Trump had an extramarital affair.",

On Monday morning, Border Force officers were called to Greatstone, Kent, after a group of 12 migrants were spotted. Since November, a total of 239 people have reached the UK by boat. Mr Javid has come under growing pressure to act, and has returned from a family holiday in South Africa to address the issue. Following a call with his French counterpart, Christophe Castaner, the pair agreed an \"enhanced action plan\" to be put in place in the coming week. It includes increasing joint patrols and surveillance, disrupting organised trafficking gangs and raising awareness among migrants of the dangers of a Channel crossing. The Home Office did not give information on how this would be done. Some MPs - including Conservative backbenchers - have criticised a lack of detail, as well as calling for more Border Force patrol boats to be deployed. Mr Javid said the complex factors behind the rise in numbers of people attempting the Channel crossing included instability in the Middle East, organised crime and tighter security at Calais. Writing in the Daily Telegraph, he said: \"The reasons behind the increased crossings are complicated and in many cases outside of our control.\" \"Unfortunately, this means that there are no easy answers,\" he wrote. \"So our response is focused both here in the UK and abroad.\" A meeting between Mr Javid, the Border Force, the National Crime Agency (NCA), Whitehall officials and other agencies was held on Monday to discuss what further action could be taken. \"While we have obligations to genuine asylum seekers... we will not stand by and allow reckless criminals to take advantage of some of the most vulnerable people in our global society,\" he added. Currently, only one of the Border Force's fleet of five cutters - specialist boats which the force describes as being capable of rescuing several migrant boats at the same time - is currently operational in the Dover Strait. The prime minister's spokeswoman said the Border Force had increased the number of \"smaller and more agile\" coastal patrol boats deployed across the south-east coast in recent months. Dover MP Charlie Elphicke has repeated calls for Border Force cutters to be called back from search-and-rescue operations in the Mediterranean to patrol the Channel. The Home Office has not said whether any of them would return. Defence Secretary Gavin Williamson said the armed forces were ready to offer help if needed. Mr Elphicke welcomed the cooperation between France and the UK but said \"it falls short of the kind of joint action and operations needed on the English Channel - specifically for the immediate return to France of people making illegal crossings\". 'Hand of humanity' Six more Iranian men were found on a beach near Dover on Sunday morning. The NCA said French authorities prevented a further attempt to cross the Channel on Saturday night. Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn said in a tweet: \"We have a duty to reach out the hand of humanity, support and friendship to people who are in danger and seeking a place of safety.\" Shadow home secretary Diane Abbott accused Mr Javid of exploiting the problem. She told the Guardian: \"There's no question that, with Brexit and also with the approach of the meaningful vote in January, people are being whipped up about migration issues, because the government thinks this is the best way of frightening people to vote for their deal.\" Pierre-Henri Dumont, MP for Calais, told BBC Radio 4's Today programme smugglers were using \"the uncertainty of Brexit\" to \"spread fake news\" to migrants, telling them that this was the best time to attempt the crossing. He also called for closer co-operation between France and the UK to \"dismantle smugglers' associations\". A note on terminology: The BBC uses the term migrant to refer to all people on the move who have yet to complete the legal process of claiming asylum. This group includes people fleeing war-torn countries, who are likely to be granted refugee status, as well as people who are seeking jobs and better lives, who governments are likely to rule are economic migrants.",

Such women might respond less well to breast cancer drugs like tamoxifen because of the genetic make-up of their tumour, they say. The research team, based at the University of Southampton, looked at data from nearly 3,000 UK women - of whom 118 were black - who were younger than 40 when they were diagnosed with breast cancer. Even when individual differences such as body weight and treatment variations such as availability of chemotherapy were taken into account, black ethnicity remained an independent indicator of poor prognosis. Dr Ellen Copson and colleagues say there have been similar findings in the US, suggesting this could be an international trend, but further research is needed to try to pin down the exact cause or causes. Early diagnosis may also play a role if black women are less aware of the symptoms or less \"breast aware\", and so less likely to identify worrying changes, they say. This could mean their cancer is diagnosed at a later stage which would reduce the chance of successful treatment and recovery. Although NHS treatment is designed to be equal for all, some cultural factors such as recent immigration to the UK or language barriers may in practice affect use of health services, they say. Dr Julie Sharp, Cancer Research UK's head of health information, said: \"It's worrying that ethnic background may be a factor influencing a woman's chance of surviving breast cancer. We know that some ethnic populations carry higher genetic risks of getting certain types of breast cancer, but if this difference is down to symptom awareness or access to healthcare, that is particularly concerning. \"More research is needed to look into the reason why young black women have higher rates of recurrence, but in the meantime women of any ethnic background should be aware of what is normal for their breasts and get any new lumps or anything unusual checked out by their GP. More often than not breast changes won't mean cancer, but it's best to get any unusual changes checked out.\"",

It comes 14 months after a similar bill failed to get approval amid a row over a now dropped partial e-cigarette ban. The Welsh Government's bill originally proposed banning intimate piercing for under-16s - but this has now been extended to cover under-18s. The measure covers the piercing of the tongue and genitalia - an AMs committee said that the weight of evidence on the medical implications meant that the proposed ban should be extended. It is one of several amendments made to the proposed law during its second passage through the Senedd. Others include: Other measures in the law include creating a mandatory licensing scheme for acupuncture, body piercing, electrolysis and tattooing. The bill, now to become the Public Health Act, also prohibits tobacco and nicotine products from being handed over to under 18s by home delivery or collection services and creates a national register of retailers of tobacco and nicotine products. The older version of the law had failed to pass in the last assembly term because of a lack of opposition support over a ban on the use of e-cigarette devices in some public places. The ban had attracted criticism from the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats, although some Plaid AMs were expected to help the bill pass the assembly. That changed after comments by former Public Services Minister Leighton Andrews, dubbing a previous deal with Plaid Cymru a \"cheap date\", upset the group and led them to reject the bill in dramatic scenes. The bill was reintroduced to the Senedd with the e-cigarette element dropped after the assembly election, and this time the law had a much smoother ride, with no objections from opposition AMs. Plaid Cymru, the Welsh Conservatives and UKIP all said they would support the revised proposals prior to the vote. Public health minister Rebecca Evans said if passed the bill \"will create the conditions which enable people to live healthy lives and will protect them from preventable harm\". In a Senedd debate the Welsh Conservatives' Darran Millar told AMs that the bill was in \"much better shape\" than when it included the e-cigarettes ban.

The announcement came on a day the rupee hit a new record low, touching 65.6 against the US dollar. Recent attempts to reduce volatility in currency markets have so far failed to have any result. 'Be patient, be firm' The finance minister told reporters on Tuesday that the rupee had \"overshot its true level\", but said that India was not the only country facing problems. \"As I said in parliament, every emerging market is challenged today. So India is also challenged, and the impact is felt both on the equity market as well as the currency market,\" news agency Reuters quoted him as saying. \"I think we'll simply have to be patient, be firm, do whatever is required to be done, and the rupee will find its appropriate level. \"What I said a few days ago, I still maintain it.

            "input": "By Pallab GhoshScience correspondent, BBC News The finding makes the world - which is called K2-18b - a plausible candidate in the search for alien life. Within 10 years, new space telescopes might be able to determine whether K2-18b's atmosphere contains gases that could be produced by living organisms. Details were published in the scientific journal Nature Astronomy. The lead scientist, Prof Giovanna Tinetti of University College London (UCL), described the discovery as \"mind blowing\". \"This is the first time that we have detected water on a planet in the habitable zone around a star where the temperature is potentially compatible with the presence of life,\" she said. The habitable zone is the region around a star where temperatures are considered sufficiently benign for water to exist in liquid form on the surface of a planet. The new planet is just over twice the size of Earth - in a planet category known as a \"super Earth\" - and has a temperature cool enough to have liquid water, between zero and 40C. K2-18b is 111 light-years - about 650 million million miles - from Earth, too far to send a probe. So the only option is to wait for the next generation of space telescopes to be launched in the 2020s and to look for gases in the planet's atmosphere that could only be produced by living organisms. What is an exoplanet? The team behind the discovery looked through the planets discovered by the Hubble Space Telescope between 2016 and 2017. The researchers determined some of the chemicals in their atmosphere by studying the changes to the starlight as the planets orbited their suns. The light filtered through the planets' atmospheres was subtly altered by the composition of the atmosphere. Only K2-18b revealed the molecular signature of water, which is a vital ingredient for life on Earth. Dr Angelos Tsiaras, a member of the UCL team, said that finding water in the atmosphere of a \"potentially habitable exoplanet was incredibly exciting\". Other astronomers, however, dispute the claim that the planet is potentially habitable. One analysis indicates that planets that are 1.5 times the mass of the Earth are unlikely to have a rocky surface. There is also concern that K2-18b's size and gravity would make it difficult for the world to support life. Other critics suggest that the planet should not be classified as a super-Earth, but as a mini Neptune instead. This is a class of planet that is typically more massive than a super-Earth (it includes worlds that are up to 10 times the mass of our own planet). Prof Tinetti, however, maintains her view that the new world is potentially habitable. She said it had a mean density that's comparable to that of Mars (which is composed of silicates) and Jupiter's moon Europa, and much higher than Neptune's. \"K2-18b cannot be classified as a mini-Neptune, it is more likely to be a planet with an interior of rock and ices. These types of planets, [are] sometimes called 'ocean planets',\" she told BBC News. \"Now, whether this planet really has an ocean at the surface or rock, we cannot tell with current observations, but having water in the atmosphere is a good start.\" But it is a view that Dr Laura Kreidberg, of the Centre for Astrophysics at Harvard University does not agree with. \"The interior of the planet is much more like Neptune. Pressure and temperature increase with depth, so that before a rocky surface is reached, it is too hot and too high-pressure for complex molecules like DNA or any of the other building blocks of life to form,\" she told BBC News. Prof David Charbonneau, also from Harvard University, said the fact that K2-18b's atmosphere was detected was proof in itself that it could not support life. \"If the planet had a thin secondary atmosphere similar to Earth it would be so thin that Hubble couldn't detect it.\" Long haul Another issue is that astronomers can't agree what conditions are needed for habitability. We only have the Earth to go on but life may also be possible on other types of worlds It is likely to require a survey of the chemical composition of, perhaps, hundreds of worlds and an understanding of how they are created and evolve, according to Prof Tinetti. \"The Earth really stands out in our own Solar System. It has oxygen, water and ozone. But if we find all that around a planet around a distant star we have to be cautious about saying that it supports life,\" she said. \"This is why we need to understand not just a handful of planets in the galaxy but hundreds of them. And what we hope is that the habitable planets will stand out, that we will see a big difference between the planets that are habitable and the ones that are not.\" Follow Pallab on Twitter",

            "input": "He was voted in as the country's prime minister in 2018, but in February 2020, found himself ousted in a twist of events that saw the collapse of the governing coalition. Mahathir had previously served as the country's prime minister from 1981 to 2003. But in 2018, he came out of retirement in a bid to take down former prime minister Najib Razak - who has been accused of embezzling hundreds of millions in state funds. Mr Mahathir, together with former coalition leader Anwar Ibrahim, successfully took down Mr Najib. But the alliance showed that it could not withstand the weight of internal rivalries. Mr Mahathir's resignation triggered the collapse of the Pakatan Harapan coalition, paving the way for a new prime minister. As quickly as it begun, Mr Mahathir was removed from the post, replaced by a former party member of his - Muhyiddin Yassin. Mr Mahathir has described the appointment of Mr Muhyiddin as illegal and a betrayal. But the saga is still far from over - and it's clear Mr Mahathir will not go down without a fight. Humble beginnings Mr Mahathir joined political party United Malays National Organisation at the age of 21 and ran a medical practice for seven years in his home state of Kedah before becoming a member of parliament in 1964. In 1969 he lost his seat and was expelled from the party after writing an open letter attacking the then Prime Minister Tunku Abdul Rahman. He later wrote a controversial book entitled The Malay Dilemma. In it, he argued that the country's Malay population had been marginalised, but also castigated them for apathetically accepting a second-class status. It struck a chord with younger UMNO leaders and he was invited back into the party, re-elected to parliament in 1974, and appointed minister of education. Within four years he had become UMNO's deputy leader and, in 1981, he became prime minister. Under his rule, Malaysia transformed into one of the Asian economic tigers of the 1990s - prestige projects such as the Petronas Twin Towers demonstrated the extent of his ambitions. His authoritarian but pragmatic policies won him popular support at home, though this was tempered by his scant regard for human rights. Black eye for democracy Opposition politicians were jailed without trial under a much-criticised Internal Security Act. Most infamously, his deputy prime minister, Anwar Ibrahim, was sacked, accused of corruption and sodomy and later jailed on the latter charge, when he called for economic and political reforms in 1998. Frequent barbed comments about the West also earned Mr Mahathir a reputation abroad. Days before he resigned in October 2003, for example, he angered several foreign governments and Jewish groups by claiming a Jewish cabal \"ruled the world\". He said he left his post \"disappointed... because I have achieved too little in my principal task of making my race a successful race, a race that is respected\". Bitter medicine Even in retirement, he never really left the political arena. He publicly criticised his successor Abdullah Badawi and, after lacklustre election results for the ruling coalition in 2008, quit the party in what many saw as a way to pressure Mr Abdullah to go. That paved the way for Mr Najib to come to power. Mr Mahathir's initial support for Mr Najib changed, however, as accusations of corruption against him surfaced in regard to a heavily indebted state investment fund called 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB). He commanded enough loyalty from supporters within UMNO to press the case against Mr Najib from within the party and government. When they got nowhere, however, he, and several high-profile supporters quit UMNO and crossed over to the opposition in 2016. In January 2018, he announced his intention to contest the election, at the age of 92. On 9 May, he won a historic victory, ousting his former allies after more than 60 years in power. He, together with Mr Anwar and several other parties, formed the Pakatan Harapan coalition, which ruled the country for two years before it collapsed. Mr Mahathir threw the country's politics into turmoil in late February 2020 when he resigned, breaking his alliance with Mr Anwar. But after his resignation, he and Mr Anwar later announced that they had, in fact, reunited again and commanded majority support. But the king, Sultan Abdullah Sultan Ahmad Shah, who had ultimate say on who should form a government, chose Mr Muhyiddin. A former interior minister, Mr Muhyiddin once controversially described himself as \"Malay first\" and Malaysian second.

The new bird flu virus, previously unknown in humans, has spread to another province in the Yangtze River Delta, with one man in hospital and another dead in Zhejiang. Southern Metropolis Daily says the authorities must learn from the lessons of the Sars cover-up a decade ago and conduct more checks for possible links between 16,000 dead pigs found in waterways near Shanghai and the new bird flu virus in order to allay public fears. Hong Kong's Apple Daily complains that authorities and hospitals in Yangtze River Delta are not giving enough updates to the public on the condition of six patients who are currently in a critical condition with the virus. It notes how staff and patients at a Jiangsu hospital, where one woman is being treated for the virus, were not taking special precautions such as wearing masks. Hong Kong's Oriental Daily News suspects that local authorities are delaying or even \"keeping secret\" cases of the new bird flu virus and urges Hong Kong to step up border checks and take more safety measures. 'Foul' gas Tensions on the Korean Peninsula continue to dominate the top international news headlines on China Central Television, party and state newspapers and major news portals. Ta Kung Pao, a Beijing-backed Hong Kong newspaper, says North Korea has only worsened its \"poor international image\" and scared off investors by closing the Kaesong Industrial Park, a joint venture with South Korea. \"North Korea's closure of the Kaesong Industrial Park is a 'self-castration'-style foolish move and only an insignificant political gesture towards the outside world, but the damage to North Korea itself is real,\" the newspaper says. Back in China, frustrated villagers in Jinnan, Shandong, tell Hong Kong's South China Morning Post that they have no way of stopping \"foul-smelling toxic\" gas from nearby petrochemical plants, which they say is causing a sharp rise in cancer tumours among locals. Oriental Daily News and other Hong Kong media have posted videos of a police raid on a filthy workshop in Zhengzhou making \"toothpick kebabs\" out of diseased dead chickens and pigs. During the Tomb-Sweeping Festival this week, Hong Kong's Ming Pao says members of Tiananmen Mothers, a group of families of victims who died in the violent crackdown on pro-democracy demonstrators in 1989, paid respects at a cemetery in Beijing under close supervision from the authorities on Wednesday. Former 1989 pro-democracy movement demonstrators reportedly held the first-ever public memorial for the victims of the crackdown on Monday at a funeral parlour in Hebei province, Ming Pao also reports. The organisers chose Zhengding county, where President Xi Jinping started his political career in the early 1980s. They were detained for 24 hours after the commemoration. On Tuesday, about 20 petitioners and human rights activists also paid respects at the former residence of ousted reformist Communist Party leader Hu Yaobang in Beijing, the newspaper adds. On the same day, hundreds of petitioners from around the country held up banners demanding a reversal of the authorities' verdict on the Tiananmen protesters as subversive, and paid tribute to the victims of the crackdown for about 15 minutes outside Beijing's South Railway Station, Ming Pao says.

The vehicle, which travels up to 10mph (16.1kmph), will be controlled by a computer. However, there will be a trained person on board who can stop the shuttle if required during the tests. Oxbotica, the firm that developed the technology behind the shuttle, said 5,000 people had applied to take part. \"Very few people have experienced an autonomous vehicle, so this is about letting people see one in person,\" chief executive Graeme Smith told the BBC. \"We hope to gain acceptance from members of the public for vehicles sharing this kind of space with them. \"We are also looking at how people in the vehicle respond when being transported from A to B.\" 'Fail-safe' The shuttle seats four people and has no steering wheel or brake pedal. During the trial, five cameras and three lasers will help it navigate a two-mile riverside path near London's O2 Arena, an area also used by pedestrians and cyclists. It can see up to 100m (328ft) ahead and comes to a steady stop if it detects something in its path - although it can also do an emergency brake if required. \"It's been designed to be safe and fail-safe specifically in a pedestrianised environment,\" Dr Smith said. Officials behind the Gateway Project believe the shuttles could improve transport links in Greenwich. They say paying passengers could begin using the system by 2019 on a trial basis and that it could eventually be rolled out elsewhere.

If The Weakest Link did return to TV screens on a regular basis, there would be more celebrities in the firing line, rather than members of the public. Robinson explained: \"They have asked whether I will consider doing celebrity shows, Saturday nights, next year.\" 'A bit of Botox' In the interview, the presenter remarked that she severely restricts what she eats, and follows an exercise regime with a personal trainer. Robinson made the - possibly tongue-in-cheek - comments, saying: \"I'm like Victoria Beckham - you know, when she's really, really, really hungry, she has a piece of lettuce.\" Asked if you have to be a certain size to appear on television, Robinson replied: \"You don't necessarily, but in order to be on television when you're old, you have to be clever and thin.\" She said she had cosmetic surgery on her face 14 years ago and now has \"a bit of Botox - not a lot\". She added: \"But to be fair, I don't drink or smoke. I run and do weights.\" Robinson recently fronted a BBC Two documentary, Abortion on Trial, and says she'd like to make more documentaries - including ones on sexual harassment and the 100th anniversary of women getting the vote.

            "input": "By Imogen FoulkesBBC News, Geneva On Sunday 14 October, journalists in Geneva were contacted by highly anxious officials at the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC). The organisation had received a warning that a young Nigerian midwife who had been working in a Red Cross-supported health centre was about to be executed. Hauwa Mohammed Liman was abducted in March in north-east Nigeria, together with two other health workers. Behind the scenes, the ICRC worked for their release, but in September a first health worker, Saifura Hussaini Ahmed Khorsa, was killed. Journalists scrambled to report the ICRC's plea for mercy for the others. In an unprecedented move, the Red Cross, an organisation which traditionally avoids the media spotlight, named the people holding Hauwa as the ISWAP, (Islamic State West African Province group), and begged for her life. In vain. On Monday Hauwa, who had dedicated herself to bringing new life into the world, had her own young life snuffed out, in what the ICRC called \"a despicable act of cruelty\". The killings will have far-reaching consequences. Two million people have been displaced by conflict in north-east Nigeria. In Borno state, of 700 health centres, 400 are closed. Doctors and nurses are leaving the region because of the danger. Those who remain, some working like Hauwa and Saifura in ICRC-supported clinics, are overwhelmed by the numbers of patients. Aid agencies in conflict zones constantly reassess security risks. The ICRC and others will be doing that in Borno state now. \"Our commitment to those affected by the conflict remains unwavering,\" said the ICRC's operations co-ordinator for Africa Mamadou Sow. \"But we have to weigh that against the security of our staff. Hauwa's death is not by any means the first time an aid worker has been deliberately killed. \"I am shocked, and I am full of sorrow for her family and colleagues,\" said Ciaran Donnelly, vice-president of the International Rescue Committee, which also works in north-east Nigeria. \"But I am not surprised. Aid workers have become increasingly targeted around the world.\" In 2003, the bombing of the UN office in Baghdad killed 22 people, most of them aid workers. That day is sometimes deemed a \"loss of innocence\" for the humanitarian community. \"Gone are the days', one aid worker said, \"when we can walk around conflict zones thinking we are protected by the UN's blue flag\". In 2017 alone, 139 aid workers were killed doing their jobs. A further 179 were kidnapped or seriously injured during attacks. The reasons for killing people who come to conflict zones simply to help, are, senior aid officials say, very complex, and therefore difficult to address. Modern conflicts, such as that in north-east Nigeria, or Syria, are often protracted, and involve multiple armed groups, many of which have little knowledge of or respect for the rules of war. Some groups are sponsored by states, some are motivated by ideology, some are simply criminal gangs looking to make money from kidnapping, or stealing aid supplies. Some are all three. \"This makes a very complex environment,\" says Mamadou Sow, \"where respecting human life is not a priority.\" Ciaran Donnelly suggests that whereas in earlier conflicts it was often in the interests of the warring parties to gain the loyalty of the local population, that has changed. \"Now the concerns of the civilian population are a very distant second place to ideological objectives. We see armed groups waging essentially a kind of campaign of total destruction.\" A study asking armed groups themselves why they targeted aid workers also revealed complicated answers. Some said aid workers were in reality spies, others that they were dumping outdated food on local people, or that they were trying to impose alien cultural values. Most chilling of all, some groups suggested attacking aid workers was an entertaining perk for young fighters who rarely got paid. These perceptions do not entirely fit with the fact that many of the aid workers who are killed, like Hauwa and Saifura, are local themselves, helping their own communities. Nevertheless aid agencies have a huge task ahead finding safe ways to work. But neither Ciaran Donnelly nor Mamadou Sow believes increased security is the answer. \"We don't want to 'bunkerise' ourselves,\" says Mr Sow. \"Or to subcontract the risks to others.\" \"It's tempting to say we need armed escorts,\" adds Mr Donnelly. \"But that just increases the risk.\" Instead, long hours of work will be put into talking to local communities, reaching out to leaders, and establishing trust, especially among young people already in or tempted to join an armed group. \"We need to find innovative ways of engaging youth,\" says Mr Sow. For now though, his first task is to travel to Nigeria, to mourn with Hauwa's family, and with the Red Cross team there. The second time in three weeks that the ICRC has had to make such a journey.",

            "input": "By Katie AlcockScience reporter, BBC News Archaeologists working in Hilazon Tachtit found what they thought was a late Palaeolithic campsite, when they discovered tools and animal bones. However they soon realised they were looking at a large burial site, with huge numbers of animal bones. They found the remains of at least three aurochs - giant extinct cattle - and over 70 tortoise skeletons. The site, from the era known as the Natufian phase, had at least 28 human bodies, ranging from babies to those who would have been elderly for the time - aged about 45. Natalie Munro from the University of Connecticut in the US and Leore Grossman from the Hebrew University in Jerusalem were especially interested to find two pit-like depressions in the centre of the cave that were too small for habitation. Instead, the depressions contained these animal bones. One depression had the auroch remains which had been butchered. The other contained the tortoise bones and shells, which were mostly intact, and some of which were burned. The team drew the conclusion that the tortoises had been cooked and the meat had then been removed. This was the best evidence that the animals had been killed and cooked for eating, not killed as a sacrifice. In the depressions they found three adult bodies - one was definitely a middle-aged woman and two others were likely also female - one of these was buried with the body of a foetus. The middle aged woman probably died of natural causes, and was buried with a strange assortment of individual animal bones. These included the pelvis of a leopard, the wingtip of an eagle, and the skull of a stone marten - all animals with distinctive fur or feathers. The woman herself had some unusual physical characteristics, probably congenital malformations which very likely led to a life-long limp. Although the researchers couldn't recover any soft material from the clay soil, this combination of unusual features made them think that the woman had a particular significance for the culture, and that her burial was commemorated with a feast. Evidence of such huge feasts has previously been found only in later archaeological sites, including some Neolithic sites in other areas of Israel, so this research, published in PNAS, is the earliest evidence for feasting on this scale. The people who left these remains would have expended a great deal of effort to catch these huge wild cattle, and gather large numbers of tortoises. All over the modern world, feasting rituals still celebrate the dead, including Western wakes and the Mexican Day of the Dead, when relatives hold dinners in cemeteries.",

Starhopper is part of an effort to develop a new engine that will burn liquid methane in contrast to the kerosene in the firm's current engines. This motor, known as the Raptor, will power SpaceX's next-generation Starship and Superheavy rockets. Tuesday's one-minute test, which took place at Boca Chica in Texas, was the second hop for the vehicle after a modest 18m jump in July. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) licensing had previously limited activity to no more than 25m above the ground. Police in the area had asked local residents to come out of their homes during the flight as a safety precaution, just in case the Raptor's firing produced a pressure wave capable of breaking windows. SpaceX is expected now to turn Starhopper into a static engine test stand, shifting flight action instead to two Starship prototypes. One of these is being built in Boca Chica; the other is under construction in Cocoa, Florida. These vehicles will feature at least three Raptors to lift themselves up and put themselves down. The capability should see them reach very high altitudes. Initial flights ought to start before the end of the year. The knowledge gained will be incorporated into the operational Starships and their Superheavy boosters when they debut, which will be no earlier than 2021 according to the company. These fully reusable vehicles will be huge, standing nearly 120m tall when stacked one on top of the other. That would make the combined unit taller than the Saturn V Moon rockets. Published designs have been somewhat fluid in recent years, but the Superheavy could have 35 Raptors firing in parallel when it lifts off. The Starship will probably use six. SpaceX presently operates its much smaller Falcon rocket series, but Starship/Superheavy, the company says, will eventually take over all missions. The California-based firm is proposing versions of the new vehicles that will be able to put satellites in orbit, and to send cargo, fuel and people beyond Earth, to destinations such as the Moon and Mars. Company CEO Elon Musk even talks of point-to-point travel, using the Starship to take passengers from one continent to another in rapid time. The Raptor engine is an integral part of the plan. Liquid methane burns cleaner than kerosene and is easier to handle than liquid hydrogen - the other two major rocket fuels predominantly in use today. SpaceX is not the only company moving over to methane. Competitor Blue Origin, owned by Amazon entrepreneur Jeff Bezos, will use the fuel in its BE-4 engine, which will power its forthcoming New Glenn rocket. In Europe, engineers are also working on a liquid-methane powered engine called Prometheus, which could eventually be deployed on future Ariane rockets.",

In a video, he denies being maltreated since his arrest in July 2015. The lawyer's wife and human rights activists have both said that Mr Xie was tortured in custody. His trial appears to have been held without advance public warning, the BBC's John Sudworth reports from Beijing, and there was no way foreign journalists could verify the court transcripts which, like the video, were released on Weibo, China's equivalent to Twitter. He is one a number of prominent lawyers put on trial recently who have mostly represented land grab victims and campaigners for democratic reform. Such cases are considered highly sensitive by the authorities. President Xi Jinping has overseen increasing restrictions on civil society while warning that Western ideals present a threat to national security. Mr Xie has been charged with \"inciting subversion of state power and disrupting court order\". \"My actions go against my role as a lawyer,\" he said in the video released by the Changsha Intermediate People's Court. \"I want to take this opportunity to express to other rights lawyers my view now that we should give up using contact with foreign media and independent media to hype sensitive news events, attack judicial institutions and smear the image of the nation's party organs while handling cases.\" In a precarious situation: Analysis by James Tsao, BBC Chinese Detained lawyers and human rights activists in China are often subject to similar show trials and abuses as those allegedly endured by Xie Yang. Human rights activists say that few if any receive a fair trial. Mr Xie has worked on a number of cases considered politically sensitive by China's ruling Communist Party and was among hundreds of lawyers and activists detained in what became known as the \"709 crackdown\" - named after the date of the first disappearance of a group of lawyers on 9 July 2015. It was part of the toughest government action against Chinese civil society for years. Although the majority of those held were released on bail, last year six of them were found guilty of serious crimes, with some sentenced for up to seven years in prison. Mr Xie is now in a precarious position - he has not endeared himself to the government by defending mainland supporters of Hong Kong democracy activists. Patrick Poon, of human rights group Amnesty International, said the Chinese authorities had wanted to use his trial \"to discredit his lawyers and the western media\". On Friday, the UN human rights office demanded that the Chinese government release all lawyers and activists that it said were being held simply for defending the basic rights of Chinese citizens. Last week Mr Xie's lawyer, Chen Jiangang, was himself detained by police. Mr Xie's US-based wife said in January that he had been tortured while in custody. US-based charity Chinese Human Rights Defenders says that Mr Xie informed his lawyers earlier this year that police had subjected him to extensive sleep deprivation, prolonged interrogations, beatings and death threats to get him to confess his guilt and incriminate colleagues.",

She was freed in February after spending three years in jail for criminally exceeding her powers, charges that she says were politically motivated. The glamorous, fiery orator helped lead Ukraine's revolt against a corrupt election in 2004, gaining international recognition. But in 2011 she was convicted over a 2009 gas deal agreed with Russia and given a seven-year sentence. She always argued the charges of abuse of power against her were a tissue of lies, inspired by the man she helped oust in 2004, Viktor Yanukovych - who returned to defeat her in the 2010 presidential election. Tymoshenko was for years a talisman for Ukraine's opposition but when she addressed crowds in Kiev's Independence Square hours after her release, the response was not entirely enthusiastic. Her lawyers had long complained that the authorities had wanted her to remain in jail for the rest of her life. She was also facing tax evasion charges dating back to her time as head of a private energy company in the 1990s. Her release was one of the conditions facing Mr Yanukovych before he baulked at signing an EU-Ukraine trade and partnership agreement last November. During her time in jail she urged the authorities to transfer her to a German hospital so that doctors there can treat her chronic back pain. In April 2013 the European Court of Human Rights ruled that her pre-trial detention had been \"arbitrary and unlawful\", though the judges did not rule on the legality of her conviction. They did not explicitly support her claim that her detention was politically motivated, nor did they accept her allegations of physical maltreatment and medical neglect in prison. Initially she was sent to Lukyanivska prison, where she suffered back problems. Tymoshenko's daughter Eugenia said she feared for her mother's life. In late 2011 she was moved to a jail in the eastern city of Kharkiv. But her health problems continued and German doctors said she needed specialised medical care. In 2012 she complained that she had been punched by prison guards as she resisted attempts to move her to a local hospital for treatment. She staged a temporary hunger strike over her prison treatment. The authorities disputed her version of events. By the time of her release, she was under prison guard at a hospital in Kharkiv. Bitter rivalry Yulia Tymoshenko became wealthy in the 1990s at the head of an energy company and swiftly moved into politics. She became prominent in 2004 during the Orange Revolution, when she and her ally Viktor Yushchenko packed the streets of Ukraine in protest at a rigged election that went in favour of the pro-Russian Mr Yanukovych. The Supreme Court ruled in their favour, and the Orange alliance took power on a firmly pro-Western, anti-Russian platform. No sooner had they taken over, with Tymoshenko as prime minister and Mr Yushchenko as president, than their relationship turned sour. He sacked her later that year as she feuded with his party colleagues. She was reappointed in September 2007 as the parties resurrected their alliance, but the constant political squabbling between the president and the prime minister continued. Political paralysis prevented any effective handling of the global economic crisis, which hit Ukraine hard. Voters seemed to lay much of the blame at Mr Yushchenko's door, and by the time of the 2010 presidential election, the Orange Revolution was consigned to history. Mr Yushchenko won less than 6% of the vote in the first round, coming fifth. Tymoshenko, meanwhile, remained a front-runner, going through to the second round against Viktor Yanukovych. But much of her previous popularity had evaporated in the intervening five years, and she was beaten. Despite her protests that Mr Yanukovych's victory was rigged - again - this time international monitors gave the vote a clean bill of health. She was then ousted by MPs from the post of prime minister, despite her best attempts to cling on. Forced to go into opposition, she promised to make life for President Yanukovych as difficult as possible, declaring: \"We will protect Ukraine from this new calamity that has befallen her.\" But many analysts argue that the calamity came earlier, as Tymoshenko and her two main rivals bickered while the country's economy went into freefall. Successful tycoon Her supporters have always seen Yulia Tymoshenko as a glamorous revolutionary challenging a corrupt, macho political elite. Her stinging attacks on the oligarchs who prospered under the pre-Orange Revolution administration of Leonid Kuchma boosted her popularity among many Ukrainians frustrated by years of economic stagnation and corruption. But critics point out that she made a fortune of her own. She was born in 1960 in the industrial city of Dnipropetrovsk, in the mainly Russian-speaking east, which is now a stronghold of Mr Yanukovych. She trained as an engineer and economist in the east and, when the Soviet Union broke up, sought to take advantage of the business opportunities that emerged. In the mid-1990s she formed United Energy Systems of Ukraine, which helped supply gas to Ukraine's huge industrial base. By some estimates, she became one of the richest people in Ukraine. She was nicknamed \"the gas princess\". Like many tycoons in Ukraine, she sought to become involved in politics, and became part of Mr Yushchenko's government in 1999-2001, pushing through energy sector reforms. But she fell out with then-President Leonid Kuchma, and after being held in prison for a month on corruption charges, she made it her goal to unseat him, launching a campaign that reached its climax in the Orange Revolution.",

            "input": "By Kerry AllenBBC Monitoring The state-owned China News Service (CNS) has released a video featuring a \"busy scene\" of pregnant women at a hospital in the central city of Wuhan. The video prompted thousands of social media comments about Chinese attitudes towards childbirth. The government wants to promote natural births in line with its relaxed child policy. It fears that women who have a Caesarean for their first baby could have complications if they go on to have more children. It is also well documented in China that parents feel pressured to ensure that their child has the competitive edge and are anxious for their children to begin academic learning as soon as possible. The issue has prompted an online debate about Chinese parents' attitude towards education, with concerns being voiced about the social pressures placed on children to succeed before they are even born. Summer-born pupils By Sean Coughlan, BBC News education correspondent The evidence from UK research, and highlighted by reports including from MPs, has consistently been that summer-born children do less well in exams. There have even been calls for summer-born children to be given extra marks to make up for the disadvantage - and some parents have campaigned to hold their summer-born children back so they start school a year later. The most common explanation is that children born in the summer are less physically and mentally developed than many classmates when they start school in the autumn. A child born in late August is almost a year younger than a classmate born in early September. Despite the age difference, they compete in the same exams - and the attainment gap for summer-born children persists right through school, up to the age of 16. Studies have shown that summer-born children are much more likely to be placed in lower-ability groups. Starting school earlier also does not seem to mean getting further ahead. Finland is often mentioned as a world leader in education - but formal education does not start there until the age of seven. But children soon catch up and overtake countries where pupils have been in school several years earlier. Undeterred Major hospitals in Wuhan have seen a rush of expectant mothers in their obstetrics and gynaecology wards, CNS reported on Wednesday. It said the number of pregnant women visiting local hospitals was 30% higher than would be expected. One doctor, Song Xiaohui, told CNS \"some [mothers] have made appointments on 31 August in case they cannot have a baby before 1 September via vaginal delivery\". CNS said doctors had been advising most of the women to have natural births, saying that premature births might lead to a child having underdeveloped lungs and breathing difficulties in later life. But that hasn't deterred some parents from trying to seek a C-section. One parent-to-be, Mr Wang, told CNS he felt his first child had experienced \"problems with delayed schooling\" as a result of being born in September. \"Because we had already encountered this kind of problem with one child, we thought hard about our second child,\" he said. \"It has more or less affected our way of thinking. Children should be born before September.\" Natural birth drive CNS said that despite the efforts by some parents to have babies by C-section, most women at the Wuhan hospital were \"more willing to wait for a natural birth\". Caesareans have long been favoured in China as a more advanced and less painful way of delivering a child but the abolition of the one-child policy in October 2015 has prompted the state to encourage people to have natural births. The National Family Commission warned in 2016 that women who chose Caesareans for their first birth could have complications with later pregnancies. Caesarean procedures carry a slightly higher risk than natural births and can cause a ruptured uterus, or a low-lying placenta, both of which risk causing complications for future pregnancies. Modern phenomenon Although CNS says that choosing to select the timing of a birth has only become a common phenomenon in recent years, Chinese women have long been selective about when they choose to have children, with certain times being regarded as inauspicious. In 2014, it was widely reported that some women were rushing to have children before 2015 - the year of the sheep. Couples were anxious that if they had sheep babies, they would grow up to be followers, rather than leaders. But striving to have a child before September is a relatively modern phenomenon, with state-run Xinhua News Agency saying that it leaves parents feeling they have \"won time\" regarding their child's education. 'Crazy' trend Some social media users are extremely critical of women trying to have premature births for the reason of academic achievement. Thousands of users of the popular Sina Weibo microblog are discussing the phenomenon, with some saying that a woman's body is her own and that she has the right to choose. But many users say the trend is \"crazy\" and shows the way in which Chinese parents are putting too much pressure on their children. \"Do people nowadays no longer care about the health of a foetus?\" one user asks. \"A full-term birth is more conducive to a baby's health.\" \"This is insane - that society is so eager for quick success,\" another adds. \"A child is not yet born, but he's already being placed on the starting line,\" one user says. \"The system is ridiculous, and these women are ridiculous,\" another adds. Many social media users say they think China's competitive education system is to blame, and some fear the impact on infant health. \"Premature births can have an impact on a child's intelligence,\" one user notes. Another user adds they think the trend is inherently \"Chinese\". \"Our system is not human,\" they say. BBC Monitoring reports and analyses news from TV, radio, web and print media around the world.

Magic is a medical alert assistance dog, and has been trained to detect a minute shift in the blood sugar levels of his owner, Claire Pesterfield. Using his superior sense of smell, he is capable of detecting tiny odour concentrations - around one part per trillion. Without Magic's assistance, changes in her blood sugar levels could put her at risk of a seizure, or - in extreme cases - the onset of a coma. Claire has type 1 diabetes, but - unlike most people with the condition - her body does not display the warning signs that a dangerous episode might be about to occur. \"I've used all the latest technology that's out there, and it still doesn't give me enough warning to prevent the episodes, or make them less severe,\" she tells the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire programme. \"But Magic can give me up to a 30-minute warning that I need to take action. \"In the three and a half years we've been together, he has alerted and potentially saved my life 3,500 times. And he does it all for a dog biscuit. \"I know without him, I wouldn't be alive today.\" Claire works as a children's diabetes nurse, supporting and educating children with type 1 diabetes and their families. She says she would not be able to do the job were it not for Magic, as she would be at risk of collapsing mid-meeting. \"Without him I would be testing my blood glucose level every 20 or 30 minutes, to try and pre-empt what was going to happen,\" she explains. Having Magic also sends the message to the children she works with, she adds, that, \"You can still live life to the full when you've got diabetes.\" 'I was exhausted' Magic sleeps by Claire's bed each night. When he detects a change in her blood glucose level, he prods her with his paw to wake her up. \"Before I got Magic I would be up every hour, trying to check my blood glucose level, trying to predict when these episodes would happen,\" she explains. \"That meant that I was exhausted. Many a time I would be too afraid to go to sleep in case I had an episode and wouldn't wake up. \"Now I know my husband won't have to worry that when he wakes up in the morning I'm going to be dead next to him. \"Simple things like that are very hard to put into words.\" Infected cells NHS trials are currently assessing if dogs could also be used to detect prostate cancer. The research being conducted offers an opportunity for the disease to be detected at an early stage - vital for improving survival rates. The dogs - usually from the gundog breed, such as labradors and springer spaniels - are taught to detect a sample of urine from a patient with prostate cancer. It is thought that the dogs can pick up the odour of cancer \"volatiles\", which travel from the infected cells into the urine as the body tries to dispose of the chemicals. When they correctly detect a sample containing these volatiles, they are given a treat as positive reinforcement. The dog's performances are recorded, and those that make the grade have more than a 90% success rate at detecting a sample from a patient with prostate cancer. 'Bio-sensor' Dr Claire Guest, co-founder of the charity Medical Detection Dogs, realised she had breast cancer after her dog, Daisy, began nudging an area of her chest which felt bruised. Tests later revealed she had two tumours. This potentially life-saving experience sparked her interest in the capabilities of detection dogs. \"Although the dog has a fluffy coat and a waggy tail, he is in fact a highly sophisticated bio-sensor,\" she explains. \"Evolution has given him this highly sensitive nose, going down to parts per trillion. So we're talking about a science here. \"People board planes every day that have been screened by detector dogs to see if there are explosives on board. That's a life-or-death decision. \"Why do we rely on them there but not assisting us with health?\" Currently, cancer detection dogs do not receive any government funding, but Conservative MP Iain Duncan Smith hopes that can change. He discovered the charity's work through his wife Betsy, who - after having breast cancer - became a trustee at Medical Detection Dogs. Mr Duncan Smith believes the \"pioneering research doesn't just have the potential to save lives, but also to save our NHS many millions of pounds\". England's Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt told him he will consider the findings of the NHS trial when published. \"I think ideas like this sometimes don't get looked at as quickly as they should, because they sometimes get put in the quackery box. \"I will personally look at this research when it comes through. One of our jobs as MPs is to question orthodoxies and look at different ways of doing things that possibly the establishment has swept under the carpet. \"If this research is good, I want to know about it.\" Watch the Victoria Derbyshire programme on weekdays between 09:00 and 11:00 on BBC Two and the BBC News Channel.",

'Game changer' E.ON senior vice president Frank Meyer said: \"The approach of KPS has the potential to become a game changer for the wind energy market. \"It supports one of our overall targets to drive down the costs for renewable energy. \"In addition to this, we catch the opportunity to be a first mover in producing renewable energy at locations where it is, for economic and technical reasons, not possible today.\" Oil and gas services company Schlumberger made its investment as it believes the technology could be used on offshore oil platforms, remote onshore drilling operations and decommissioned offshore wind turbine towers. Commenting on the news, WWF Scotland director Lang Banks said: \"We hope the investment enables this emerging renewable technology to achieve its aim of developing a commercial-scale project. \"Kite power technology offers the prospect of an exciting new way to harness the power of the wind, particularly in places where it might be impractical to erect a wind turbine.\"",

            "input": "By Victoria GillScience correspondent, BBC News Her technological stash, experts say, is typical. But it could jeopardise our ability to manufacture new devices. A study has estimated that as many as 40 million unused gadgets are languishing in UK homes. Each device contains multiple valuable and increasingly endangered elements. The growing, unseen shortage of \"rare earth elements\" was the impetus for the Royal Society of Chemistry's survey of just how much unused technology we are all stockpiling. The organisation carried out an online survey - completed by more than 2,000 people - which revealed that half of UK households had at least one unused electronic device and 45% of homes had between two and five. Most people admitted they had no plans to recycle their collection. What elements could we run out of? \"There are about 30 different elements just in a smartphone,\" said Elisabeth Ratcliffe from the Royal Society of Chemistry, \"and many of them are very rare.\" The metal indium, she explained, is used in a unique compound called indium tin oxide, which is vital for touch screens, because it conducts electricity and is transparent. \"It's also used in solar panels, so we're going to need a lot of it in the future. \"There's not a lot of it in the Earth and you need a kilo of ore to extract just a few milligrams of indium.\" Most of us will not have heard of tantalum, but it's a highly corrosion-resistant metal that is \"perfect for small electronic devices like our phones\", explained Ms Ratcliffe. \"But it's also perfect for hearing aids and pace-makers,\" she told BBC News. Scientists estimate that indium and tantalum mines, among others, could run out within a century. Meanwhile, our demand for new technology continues to increase. \"Even the copper in all that wire is not endlessly abundant,\" added Ms Ratcliffe. \"On top of that, most of these devices are coated in plastic, which could be recycled.\" Elements in smart phones that could run out within the next 100 years So what should I do with my old tech? In short - recycle it; you can search for your nearest electronics recycling point online. \"Take it to your local tip,\" advised Stuart Price from Electrical Waste Recycling in Huddersfield. \"Or a retailer - distributors actually have an obligation to take back material when you buy a new product from them.\" \"We need this material to go to reprocessing facilities, so it can be processed properly.\" Many people who hoard old tech are concerned about protecting their personal data, but a \"factory reset\" should protect that - and council tips and responsible retailers keep electronics secure before they are recycled. According to the Electrical Waste Recycling Group, about 500,000 tonnes of electronic waste is recycled in the UK every year. But that is only a fraction of the \"E-waste\" that is piling up in landfill and in people's homes. Much of the responsibility for that will lie with tech manufacturers, according to Prof Lenny Koh, director of the Centre for Energy, Environment and Sustainability at the University of Sheffield. \"The current approach is not sustainable,\" she told BBC News. \"With increasing demand and reliance on smaller devices and more sophisticated technology, there'll only be more waste to be recycled. \"Manufacturers need to think about the entire life-cycle of a device at the design stage - so devices are built to be fully recyclable.\" Ms Ratcliffe added that we can all help by delaying a phone upgrade for a while longer. \"This is the International Year of the Periodic Table,\" she said. \"So it's a great time to be thinking about all the amazing elements out there. And just by holding onto your current phone for another year, you can really make a difference in environmental terms.\" Follow Victoria on Twitter",

Despite asking staff at her student halls at Sheffield Hallam University to call a doctor, she was told it was not possible. Ms Hall was found unconscious in her bathroom by a flatmate two days later. More Yorkshire stories Lynn Bennett, manager of Trigon hall, told coroner David Urpeth at Sheffield Medico Legal Centre that doctors cannot be called to the halls but students are offered a taxi to visit a doctor, or an ambulance can be called if they are too ill. Trigon is owned by property management company Derwent Students but operates in partnership with Sheffield Hallam University. Ms Bennett said the halls have different procedures in emergencies and cases of suspected meningitis, when medical services are notified immediately. Ms Bennett told court she visited Ms Hall's room twice but she declined a taxi or ambulance saying her parents would visit the next day, 22 September. Mark and Charlotte Hall, took their daughter to an NHS walk-in clinic where Ms Hall told the GP of stomach spasms and sickness every 30 to 40 minutes. She described her vomit as \"coffee-coloured\" and the GP thought it could be a virus or early appendicitis. Abigail was \"excited and nervous\" to be starting university and \"disappointed\" to be too ill to enjoy her Freshers' Week, the court heard. Her friends and new flatmates said she was \"kind and friendly\" and otherwise healthy and happy. She had been for two nights out before falling ill, but friends said she had not been drunk. Mrs Hall said her daughter was \"really concerned\" about missing the start of university and had put the illness down to a bug or stomach flu. \"She just wanted to get over it and go to uni the next morning,\" she said. But Abigail was too weak to go and was found unconscious by her flatmates on the evening of 23 September. The court heard a post-mortem examination found she died of aspiration pneumonitis, caused when foreign bodies enter the lungs. The inquest continues.

            "input": "Mark UrbanDiplomatic and defence editor, BBC Newsnight This Strategic Defence and Security Review, the UK government's attempt to shape the armed forces for the coming five years, to be fair to its authors, doesn't do that. Rather, it imagines the last war Whitehall would like to have fought, had it been able to. How so? Well, rather than shape the military to fight the sort of campaign it waged in Helmand, Afghanistan, during 2006-12, Monday's paper imagines the type of action that might have happened if Parliament had voted in 2013 to bomb President Bashar al-Assad's forces in Syria, or other similar, limited, actions fought at arm's length. So the big winners from Monday's review, or SDSR, are air-power and special forces. The government's plans to increase military spending, keeping it equivalent to 2% of gross domestic product, will also give an additional £12bn shot-in-the-arm to industry (over the next 10 years) since the increase will go largely on new weapons, rather than additional people. The Royal Air Force, cut back to just seven fast jet squadrons by the 2010 SDSR, will grow back to nine (with two squadrons of Typhoon fighters remaining in service for longer) and get more modern aircraft, and one squadron of American-made Poseidon maritime patrol aircraft. There will be 20 new drones (to replace the current 10) as well, and the commitment to order 48 F35B fighters by 2023 will finally allow for the replacement of the Tornado with something much more modern. What the latest SDSR does not do, or rather what it hardly does, is increase the armed forces' capability for sustained or high-intensity operations or, in layman's terms, their ability to fight a war against another country. Limited capability So, the two new aircraft carriers are to come into service with very limited defence against the type of advanced missile or air-attack that countries such as Russia or China could throw at them. Despite the commitment to a new class of general purpose frigate (the Type 26), confirmed today, the Royal Navy would also struggle to assemble enough escorts for its new carriers to protect them from submarine attack. The new carriers, rather, can now be seen clearly as floating runways to strike non-state enemies or mid-sized military powers (such as Libya in 2011 or Syria, nearly, in 2013), or for other uses such as flying helicopters to evacuate British nationals or to deliver disaster relief. They will have to operate relatively close to shore, because of the limited range of the F35 and helicopters that will be embarked, and doing that against a major military power would be too risky with the level of protection the Royal Navy could give them: no admiral will want to risk the loss of a ship named HMS Queen Elizabeth. Many would argue that this approach makes sense, that going to war against Russia is unimaginable, even in a limited way: for example if the Kremlin was using force against the UK's Nato allies, the Baltic republics. Certainly, regenerating the full panoply of forces lost in post-Cold War cuts would require enormous additional spending. Kit, not personnel This review does, however, cover the possibility of a serious confrontation with Europe's eastern neighbour. Russia has been raised to a \"Tier 1\" potential threat by the UK, and the planning to mitigate it includes, after all, the replacement of Britain's Trident nuclear weapon system. The Army (in a pre-announced move) will get a new generation of armoured vehicles for its two high-readiness brigades, which will modernise them, by 2025, in case they had to be deployed in support of a Nato ally. Much of the new kit for the RAF and Royal Navy also would be very useful in any confrontation on Nato's borders if - and the caveat is important - it is properly supported by sufficient well-trained people, and backed up with ample stocks of advanced ammunition. People, though, don't get much of a break in this plan - the RAF will grow by 300 and the Royal Navy by 400 - and this when the fleet had asked for 2,000, is about to take delivery of its first new carrier, and is already having difficulties manning its ships. Civilian job losses Cuts to allowances also announced on Monday will hardly help, when it comes to retaining skilled service men and women. The armed forces, then, will grow just a little as a result of Monday, and even the modernisation of RAF squadrons will only allow it to add a few jets to the current eight Tornados bombing the Islamic State group, when it comes to a sustained deployment. The special forces, also, will get new equipment but will not expand in strength significantly. And the MoD's civilian workforce faces deep cuts - with unions describing as \"devastating\" suggestions that up to 18,000 jobs might go. That's a drop in head-count of nearly 30%, to 41,000, between now and 2020, with some of the department's services being outsourced to private firms. What it all adds up to is a defence posture designed for sudden emergencies rather than enduring commitments of the kind seen in southern Iraq and Afghanistan or all-out state-to-state warfare that Britain prepared for during the Cold War. It will take 10 years for this SDSR to mature, in terms of the delivery of large numbers of new planes, armour, and ships. Two other old military sayings come to mind here - that no plan survives contact with the enemy and that the enemy always gets a vote. In other words, the world and the UK's real or potential enemies will hardly stand still during that coming decade. As the ink dries on SDSR 2015, there will be people in Whitehall who are already thinking about the next one, in 2020. Mark Urban is diplomatic and defence editor for BBC Newsnight.

Caroline Moon and Michael Green said they would not serve in the new cabinet, unveiled on Wednesday, while the matter remained unresolved. They denied claims they hid the report. 'False and defamatory' Opposition leader, Labour's Paul Foster, accused the Conservative-led council of hiding a report which found allegations of child sexual exploitation by taxi drivers were not examined adequately. An interim report written in December by solicitors Wilkin Chapman LLP detailed two cases of alleged child sexual exploitation involving two licensed taxi drivers. These cases were \"not properly investigated\" by the council, the report said. Ms Moon, Mr Green and a third councillor, Warren Bennett, were involved in the investigation when all three were cabinet members. Ms Moon said she was offered a place in the new cabinet by council leader Margaret Smith on Tuesday. Of the cover-up claims she said: \"They are false and defamatory allegations but whilst they are outstanding I don't feel I am in a position to continue in an administration that has collective responsibility at the council.\" Mr Green said: \"I am saddened to reject the cabinet position due to Mr Foster's totally unfair and completely untrue claims.\" Mr Bennett also denied claims they \"covered up\" issues surrounding South Ribble's failure to properly vet taxi drivers and denied any wrongdoing. Ms Smith said: \"We have formed a very experienced cabinet who will work extremely hard to get the job done.\" Analysis by Mike Stevens, BBC Radio Lancashire reporter Further to the report at the centre of this row, there is also the case of an autistic boy who was unlawfully restrained by a taxi driver. Two months after his conviction for assault in 2013, South Ribble's Licensing Committee allowed him to keep his licence. Since then, there have been calls for the leaked report to be released. And they are not just coming from members of the opposition. Conservative Councillor Paul Wharton has called for Ms Smith's resignation. It is also worth noting that whilst the BBC has seen the report, the majority of the council have not. We are now told it will be published in the week commencing 6 June. Whether that is enough to placate Mr Wharton and other councillors calling for Ms Smith's head remains to be seen.",

            "input": "By Jonathan JosephsBusiness reporter, BBC News Donald Trump's trade chief Robert Lighthizer told the BBC on Wednesday that the WTO needs \"someone with real experience in trade\". The US opposes former World Bank economist Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala for the job. A consensus still hasn't been reached. The doubling down on the rejection of Ms Okonjo-Iweala, despite widespread support from other countries, escalates one of the most pressing global trade issues Joe Biden will have to solve as US President. The other finalist for one of the top jobs in international trade is South Korea's Trade Minister Yoo Myung-hee, and the pair have been left in limbo for more than five weeks. President Trump's top official on trade, US Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer's remarks on Wednesday to the BBC in his first international interview confirm that there is no way the Trump administration will be persuaded to back the Nigerian ex-finance minister in its remaining weeks in office. The impasse at the WTO comes at a sensitive time for global trade, which has suffered because of the coronavirus pandemic. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala insists she is the right person for the job and has the right experience with both trade and delivering reform. Her spokesperson told the BBC: \"Dr Okonjo-Iweala looks forward to engaging with the Biden administration and is hopeful that final consensus can soon be reached. The WTO urgently needs to get to work at this time of global crisis.\" A new leader is seen as crucial for achieving meaningful change. Mr Lighthizer said the WTO \"is massively in need of reform\", adding \"we need to start making headway\" on that process. If a new Director-General is not appointed before Joe Biden's inauguration as US President on 20 January, it is likely the process will be delayed for several months as a new US trade team is put in place. That includes Katherine Tai, who has been picked to be Mr Lighthizer's successor, but needs Congressional approval. Mr Biden may also embark on a widespread review of US trade policy, as dozens of industry groups are urging him to do. But he has said he doesn't plan to immediately remove any of the tariffs Mr Trump imposed on China, and which the WTO has judged to be \"inconsistent\" with international trade rules. Appellate Body reform The WTO plays a crucial role in brokering trade deal and upholding international trade law, however it has been without a leader since Roberto Azevedo resigned in August, saying someone else would be better placed to deliver the needed reforms. His tenure was blighted by the US China trade war and President Trump's widespread use of tariffs to achieve his goals on trade. According to Mr Lighthizer, the WTO has \"failed to function as a negotiating body\". He also pinpoints that \"massive reform\" is needed for the dispute-resolving Appellate Body, which he feels has evolved into a body creating a common law of trade, \"taking away benefits\" that members had negotiated for \"and putting restraint on things that had been conceded\". The Appellate Body has been incapacitated by the Trump administration vetoing the appointment of new judges. \"I think there's a consensus developing at the WTO that we need the appellate body reform,\" he said. \"We need to start negotiating again, we need to start making headway. So I'm glad you brought up the WTO, it's been clearly a focus for us and to us its an organisation that started off as a good idea and basically isn't functioning very well, but I think that can be sorted out also.\" The Director-General has an important role to play in bringing change according to Professor James Bacchus, a former chairman of the WTO Appellate Body, as well as a former US trade negotiator. \"Effective multilateral cooperation to lower barriers to trade is urgently needed to help jumpstart the global economy and recover from the pandemic,\" he says. \"That requires creative leadership from an honest broker in the role of director-general.\" Joe Biden hasn't given any indication that he prefers either Ms Yoo or Ms Okonjo-Iweala for the WTO's top job. However when it comes to trade, he recently said: \"We need to be aligned with the other democracies.. so that we can set the rules of the road instead of having China and others dictate outcomes.\" \"If the Biden administration can trade off support for Ngozi for political capital on other reforms, that certainly seems like a good idea,\" Simon Lester, a WTO expert at the Cato Institute in Washington told the BBC. He added that this would be the quickest way to get a new WTO leader in place, because \"opening up the selection process could be messy and complicated, and would lead to delays\".",

            "input": "By Rebecca MarstonBusiness reporter, BBC News The committee was set up in May 1997, when the incoming Labour government gave the Bank independent control over setting rates, which had previously been decided by the Treasury. In setting rates, the MPC's primary aim is to try to control UK inflation. The MPC comprises five senior Bank officials, and four external experts who are appointed by the chancellor for renewable three-year terms. What do we know about these nine men and women? Mark Carney, governor Who is he? Canadian Mark Carney took office two years ago. As well as being the governor of the Bank of England he is the chairman of the MPC - and the other key committees at the Bank. Born in 1965, in the remote town of Fort Smith in Canada's Northwest Territories, he has an economics degree from Harvard University in the US. There was a bit of controversy from some quarters when the chancellor appointed a Canadian as governor, but Mr Carney, 50, is hardly a stranger to the UK. His masters and doctorate in economics are both from Oxford University. He also spent part of his 13-year career with investment bank Goldman Sachs in its London office. His last post before coming to take charge at the Bank of England was as governor of the Bank of Canada. Anything else? He's sporty, a hockey player and a marathon runner, completing the London marathon this year. And he sometimes runs to work and back from his home in West Hampstead - about five miles from the Bank of England building. Mark Carney: The 'film star' central banker Ben Broadbent, deputy governor, monetary policy Who is he? While Mr Broadbent became deputy governor just over a year ago, he has been on the MPC since 2011, when he was appointed as an external member. He's another member of the Goldman Sachs club, where he was its senior European economist. Mr Broadbent has also been assistant professor of economics at Columbia University In New York, and was a one-time economic adviser to the Treasury. His initial economics degree is from Cambridge University, and like Mr Carney he also attended Harvard, where he got his doctorate in the same subject. Anything else? His wider interests include classical music (piano and violin), hill walking, cricket and football. And while at the Treasury he was reported to favour wearing homely jumpers. Nemat Shafik, deputy governor, markets and banking Who is she? Nemat Shafik joined the Bank last year, and likes to be known by her nickname Minouche. Born in Egypt, her family emigrated to the US when she was four years old. Prior to joining the Bank, the 53-year-old was deputy managing director of the International Monetary Fund. She was also the youngest ever vice president at the World Bank, taking up that role when she was just 36. She has a masters in economics from the London School of Economics, and a doctorate in the same subject from Oxford University. Anything else? She has a natty turn of phrase. There is the \"sticky door\" that she says women must push through to succeed. And she calls herself an \"owl\" rather than a dove or a hawk, the two words typically used to describe those soft or hard on inflation. She also writes on a wide variety of economic topics, including this one with this pleasing title of Goodbye ambiguity, hello clarity. In 2015 she was ranked number 66 in Forbes' list of the world's most powerful women. Sir Jon Cunliffe, deputy governor, financial stability Who is he? Sir Jon took up his post two years ago, but probably knew what he was getting into, as he led the Treasury's work on how to get the Bank operationally independent. He brings a breadth of government experience to the MPC. He has served as the UK's permanent representative to the European Union, was a prime ministerial adviser on Europe and global issues, and a senior civil servant at both the Treasury and Department for Transport. His background also differs from the others' in that his masters degree is in English from the University of Manchester. Anything else? He caused a stir last year when he warned that rising house prices posed the biggest risk to the UK economy. Andrew Haldane, executive director, monetary analysis and chief economist Who is he? Mr Haldane, 48, is a long-standing Bank employee, having joined in 1989 after he completed his masters in economics at the University of Warwick. Joining the MPC last year, he is now in charge of research and statistics across the Bank. Mr Haldane is also co-founder of Pro Bono Economics, a charity that tries to persuade economists to work for charities for free in their spare time. Anything else? A speech he gave at the 2012 gathering of global bankers at Jackson Hole, Wyoming, entitled \"The Dog And The Frisbee\" was very well received in the US financial press. Two years later Time magazine voted Mr Haldane one of the 100 most influential people in the world. In 2012 he also said that the Occupy anti-capitalism movement was correct to criticise the international financial system. Kristin Forbes, external member Who is she? Kristin Forbes, 45, an American economist, joined the MPC last year. She's an experienced political player, having been deputy assistant secretary in the US Treasury Department, and an adviser to President George W Bush. Ms Forbes is currently also the professor of management and global economics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. She's also been at the World Bank and investment bank Morgan Stanley. Anything else? She's another sporty one and is keen on tennis, travelling, hiking, and mountain climbing, and has run the Boston marathon. Ian McCafferty, external member Who is he? Ian McCafferty has been on the MPC for three years. He has stronger industry links than the others, having previously been chief economic adviser to the CBI, and as head of macroeconomics at BP. The 59-year-old also has City credentials, having worked for Natwest Markets and Baring Securities. He's been keen on raising rates, voting five times last year - together with fellow member Martin Weale - for a 0.25 percentage point rise. However, on all five occasions the other seven members of the MPC voted for no change. Mr McCafferty was also a lone voice calling for a vote rise last month. Everyone else voted for rates to remain unchanged. Anything else? He did his masters in economics on the continent, studying at the University of Amsterdam. He also speaks French. Gertjan Vlieghe, external member Who is he? Gertjan Vlieghe has only just joined the MPC, taking up his post at the start of this month. The 44-year old is not entirely new to the Bank though, as he was an economic assistant to the former Bank governor, Mervyn King. His experience straddles the City and academic worlds. He was a partner and senior economist at investment firm Brevan Howard Asset Management, a bond strategist at Deutsche Bank, and he holds a doctorate from the London School of Economics. Anything else? Mr Vlieghe has dual British and Belgian citizenship. He fits in on the fitness front, he's also keen on sports and enjoys running, cycling and skiing. He is a keen photographer and reads a lot of financial history. Martin Weale, external member Who is he? Mr Weale has been on the MPC since 2010, and this is his second three-year term. Before that the 60-year-old was director of the well-respected National Institute of Economic and Social Research, and has been a lecturer in economics at the University of Cambridge. His work interests include issues connected with pensions, retirement behaviour, and the adequacy of overall saving. Along with Ian McCafferty he voted five times last year for a rate rise, but has since voted each time for no change. He was appointed CBE for his services to economics in 1999. Anything else? After graduating from Cambridge University he spent two years working in Africa for the National Statistics office in Malawi.",

            "input": "By Gordon CoreraSecurity correspondent The decision - due to be made at a meeting of the National Security Council later - involves balancing complex technical risks with geopolitics and costs to the economy. But it is also an issue where room for manoeuvre is tight - partly thanks to a series of decisions going back over the years which have closed down options. If you want to understand how we got where we are, it is worth going back more than a decade and a half to when BT was upgrading the UK's telecoms infrastructure. It wanted to use Huawei equipment because it was cheaper. BT - using a trick that operators are still using today - warned that excluding Huawei would cost vast amounts of money requiring compensation from the government. Few at the time appreciated the significance of the decision. It was only after it had been taken that officials began to question whether it had opened up the UK to surveillance or even sabotage from China - something Huawei itself has always said is impossible. And so a strategy was created to minimise the danger. Steps included making sure there were multiple suppliers in the network and ensuring risky vendors (in others words Huawei) were kept out of the most sensitive parts of the network (for instance the core which controls how it functions). The history means the UK intelligence community believes it has a much better understanding than anyone else about how to manage the risk from Huawei. 'Intense' security As the use of Huawei spread to other telecoms operators, the Huawei Cyber Security Evaluation Centre (HCSEC) was created to carefully evaluate the physical equipment and the code that Huawei was introducing into the UK. I visited what became known as \"the cell\" in Banbury 2013. The security was intense - in one inner room a computer with access to the Huawei source code sat watched by CCTV cameras to prevent any unauthorised access. No deliberate backdoor or evidence of espionage has ever been found. But there have been issues. A 2018 oversight report was highly critical of the company's engineering standards, and the 2019 report said no material progress had been made to address those concerns, which left it with only \"limited assurance\" that security could be protected. This experience though has created a degree of confidence from intelligence and security officials that they can mitigate the risks of using Huawei in a 5G network, by putting in place a suite of restrictions. But they also caution that the ultimate decision has to be political since it involves balancing the technical advice with the diplomatic and economic costs. The 5G network is being built partly on top of 4G, so excluding Huawei from 5G in the UK (unlike the US where it plays almost no role) also means ripping it out of 4G. That will be costly and slow down the roll-out of increased connectivity, which this government has made a priority. That decision has also been made harder by delay - it was due to be taken nearly a year ago but leaks and elections have got in the way. In the meantime, 5G is already being rolled out. The telecoms operators have been pressing their case to use Huawei and using its equipment. This means the costs of excluding the company have been going up by the day. Saying \"no\" will slow down the much-heralded promise of greater connectivity. But delay has also given the US and critics more time to marshal their arguments against using the Chinese company, including presenting a recent dossier - although UK officials say it lacked any \"smoking gun\". US v China The US has said it will review intelligence sharing if the UK does use Huawei. UK officials believe - or perhaps hope - that Washington is bluffing. That is a big call. One of the challenges is disentangling this subject from the broader trade confrontation between China and the US, and the unpredictable nature of President Trump. At times, there have been signs that Huawei has become a bargaining chip in that broader battle. UK officials may have feared that they could exclude Huawei and anger China, only to find the US President cutting a deal with Beijing and leaving them isolated. Some British officials caution that this overlooks the fact that concerns about the company go much deeper in Washington, where national security officials are increasingly focused on the technological challenge from China. The US has taken a hard line because it knows the UK decision has global significance. Many other countries are going through similar debates right now. Like the UK, they would like to use Huawei because it is cheap but fear the security risks and the wrath of the US. If the UK approves the use of Huawei many of them may use that as cover to follow suit. Few others though have the technical experience of monitoring Huawei that the UK has built up. The global perspective goes to one of the wider long-term risks. Some people ask how we have got to a position where we are needing to even consider using Chinese technology. The answer is because Western countries failed to think strategically about protecting or nurturing their own full spectrum telecoms industry over the last two decades. Companies went bust or were taken over. Meanwhile Beijing pursued a focused long-term strategy to become a leader in the technology. Approval for Huawei in the UK with others following in its wake, would be likely to accelerate the company's rise and the risks of dependency. The risks of it becoming a dominant player were expressed by former Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt. \"The issue is what happens if we get to the situation where no Western companies are really able to compete with Huawei going forward,\" he told the BBC. \"Like it or not, in a decade's time people will look back and say, 'was this really wise to take this decision in 2020 that has led to this dependency?'\" The US is talking about building greater Western capability in this field, but it is not yet clear what this actually looks like or how long it would take to deliver. And there is a lot of talk in Washington about having lost 5G but making sure not to lose 6G. Huawei itself has always maintained that it is not an arm of the Chinese state and will not spy on its behalf. But the more dominant it becomes in the coming years, the harder it might be to extract the company from a network if it was found to have done something wrong. So Tuesday's decision comes down to balancing significant but hard to quantify long-term risks with real short-term economic costs. Past decisions have narrowed the UK's options. And this one may do so again. Do you have a question about Huawei's involvement in the UK's 5G network?

Irish police said they were \"keeping an open mind in relation to the criminal groups involved\". Three of the gunmen wore police-style SWAT team uniforms and were armed with AK47 assault rifles. The police also said at least six people were involved in the attack at a weigh-in for a boxing match. It came ahead of a Clash of the Clans boxing bout between Dubliner Jamie Kavanagh and Portuguese boxer Antonio Joao Bento. The World Boxing Organization (WBO) European lightweight title fight was due to take place on Saturday night. The man who died was David Byrne, 33, from Raleigh Square in Crumlin in the south of the city. In a statement to the BBC, a man claiming to speak on behalf of the leadership of the Continuity IRA said its members were responsible. A hard-line republican group, CIRA is violently opposed to any deal not based on a united Ireland. \"Continuity\" refers to the group's belief that it is carrying on the original IRA mission to force Britain out of Ireland. The CIRA spokesman claimed Mr Byrne was targeted because he had been involved in the killing of Alan Ryan in Dublin four years ago. Ryan, 32, was a leading member of another dissident republican group, the Real IRA. He was shot dead in September 2012. At the time it was reported that Ryan's faction within the Real IRA in Dublin had been engaged in a feud with major gangland criminals. \"Although not a member of our organisation, we are not going to stand back and allow drug dealers and criminals to target republicans,\" the CIRA spokesman said. 'Not an isolated incident' He also warned that further attacks were planned. \"This will not be an isolated incident,\" he said. \"Continuity IRA units have been authorised to carry out further operations. More drug dealers and criminals will be targeted. \"The Continuity IRA will carry out further military operations.\" The Irish police, An Garda Síochána, have set up armed checkpoints in Dublin because of fears of retaliation for the attack. The CIRA spokesman who issued the statement to the BBC provided a code word, but there is no way to independently verify this claim. The nature of the attack, and in particular the use of AK47 assault rifles, are reminiscent of attacks carried out by the Provisional IRA and dissident republican groups. But until now, the Garda have said they believe shooting was the result of a feud between major organised crime gangs. Speaking on Monday after the attack, Sinn Fein president Gerry Adams said: \"It was a brazen attack in broad daylight by criminal thugs who believe they can operate with impunity and above the normal rule of law. \"They should be locked up, where they belong.\" Mr Adams added: \"I understand a group calling itself the Continuity IRA has claimed responsibility for the attack at the Regency Hotel. \"They are not the IRA. The IRA are gone and their weapons are gone,\" he said.",

            "input": "It means that half of all UK adults - some 26,853,407 people - have now received a first dose of a vaccine. Health Secretary Matt Hancock said the latest milestone in the rollout marked a \"phenomenal achievement\". Prime Minister Boris Johnson - one of those to receive a first dose on Friday - also hailed the landmark. A total of 2,132,551 people have also received their second dose of a vaccine, government figures show. Another 96 deaths within 28 days of a positive Covid test have also been recorded in the UK, as have a further 5,587 cases. \"Vaccinating over half of all adults is a phenomenal achievement and is testament to the mammoth efforts of the NHS, GPs, volunteers, local authorities and civil servants in every corner of the UK,\" said Mr Hancock. The news comes after the government confirmed a shipment of about five million doses of the Oxford-AstraZeneca jab would be delayed, resulting in an expected reduction in the number of first doses - including for the under-50s - given during April. Meanwhile, European countries, including France, Germany and Italy, have begun offering the Oxford jab again after a pause over safety fears. Mr Hancock said he was \"absolutely delighted\" to reveal the UK had reached the vaccination milestone. He added: \"It's a huge success and I want to say many, many thanks to all those involved, including the half of all adults who have come forward.\" Mr Johnson - who received his first dose on Friday - added he was \"immensely proud of the progress we have made so far in rolling out vaccinations\". \"There is still further to go and I encourage everyone to take up the offer when asked to do so,\" he said. Despite the progress of the UK's vaccine rollout, a scientist advising the government has warned overseas holidays would be \"extremely unlikely\" because of the risk of travellers bringing Covid variants back to the UK. The UK faced a \"real risk\" if people travelled abroad in the summer, Dr Mike Tildesley, a member of the government's Scientific Pandemic Influenza Group on Modelling, which feeds into Sage, said. Transport Secretary Grant Shapps said it was \"too early to tell\" when holidays abroad would be allowed. Under the current roadmap for easing restrictions, the earliest date people in England could holiday abroad would be 17 May. With all over-50s now able to take up the offer of a vaccine dose, the vaccination programme approaches a target to offer a vaccine to the top nine priority groups, as determined by scientific advisers, by mid-April. These included frontline health and care workers, people who were clinically vulnerable and those with an increased risk of hospitalisation - covering 99% of those at risk of dying from Covid-19. In Northern Ireland and some areas of Scotland, people in their 50s were already being offered a Covid vaccine. Parts of England may already have started offering it to this age group too, with Wales targeting an offer of one dose to all over-50s by mid-April. The most-recent issues with supplies meant the vaccine rollout would be \"slightly slower than we might have hoped but not slower than the target we had set ourselves\", Communities Secretary Robert Jenrick said on Friday. Those with appointments for second doses should attend as normal and it is expected April could see more second doses than first doses for the first time. Alongside the Oxford vaccine and the Pfizer-BioNTech jab, the UK has also approved a third vaccine - from Moderna - which is due to start being rolled out in late spring. A vaccine from Novavax has shown promising results and will be made in north-east England, and a single-dose vaccine from Johnson & Johnson has also been shown to be effective.",

The newly-released file covers immigration policy from 1982 to 1986. The document shows the issue of admitting second wives created constant difficulties for Thatcher's government. It was worried about how Commonwealth countries, the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg and its own MPs would react to changes in policy. It discussed the merits of introducing visas for Commonwealth immigrants in order to control numbers, and to move the queues of people wanting to enter the UK from Heathrow to their countries of origin. And it discussed new powers to take action against exiles in the UK \"plotting the violent overthrow of foreign governments\" including those of Libya, Iraq and Iran. Repatriation scheme The file, now at the National Archives in Kew, also reveals that in October 1985 immigration facilities at Heathrow came close to being overwhelmed by an unexpected surge of young men from Bangladesh seeking entry to the UK. It shows that a little-known scheme to pay immigrants who wanted to return to their country of origin - used by 100 or 200 people a year - had been rebranded \"assisted return\" because its original name, \"voluntary repatriation\", had sounded too like the kind of repatriation called for by Enoch Powell. And it reveals that at one stage the home secretary of the day, Douglas Hurd, even contemplated breaking the law over the issue of polygamous wives. In March 1986 he wrote arguing for a change in the law to make it possible to refuse such women entry. \"There is no way in which the issue of entry clearance applications by polygamous wives can be made acceptable to public - or Parliamentary - opinion,\" he wrote. 'A mischief' Until the law changed he was prepared to \"postpone compliance with his legal obligation\" to admit second wives, he said. The attorney-general Sir Michael Havers soon put a stop to that, writing: \"Such unlawful action by the government cannot be contemplated.\" But in pressing for the change Mr Hurd - who called the admission of polygamous wives \"a mischief\" - had the prime minister on his side. A note from one of her advisers says she \"strongly shares the Home Secretary's view that an early change in the law is required\". When Mr Hurd suggested making future polygamous marriages invalid but recognising existing ones, she wrote in the margin: \"We do not recognise polygamy at all.\" And on the very last document in the file - a memo from the Foreign Secretary Geoffrey Howe outlining the difficulties involved in changing the law - she wrote, with multiple underlinings: \"The country would be with us on this. \"We are crazy to discriminate in favour of the coloured Commonwealth against the UK.\"",

However, business expectations for the next 12 months weakened, which IHS Markit said was due to \"ongoing political uncertainty and inflationary pressures\". Price pressures The fall in the value of the pound since the UK's vote to leave the EU has pushed up the price of imported goods. IHS Markit said price inflation for goods bought by service sector firms eased last month but remained \"sharp\". It said companies blamed inflationary pressures on \"the weak sterling exchange rate driving up import costs such as food, higher fuel prices, international travel (again linked to exchange rates) and rising labour costs\". Chris Williamson, chief business economist at IHS Markit, said: \"Rising prices - often linked to the weaker pound - are a big concern, however, and suggest that inflation is set to lift higher. \"The past two months have seen the steepest rise in businesses' costs for over five-and-a-half years.

Thousands have protested across the country, but especially in Lancashire where fracking began in 2011 before two separate tremors led to a temporary suspension. Susan Holliday, chair of Preston New Action Group, said: \"We have said all along that we have been guinea pigs for this process, and the experiment has failed, just as it did in 2011 when the last moratorium was put in place. \"Hopefully this time it will not be lifted.\" Campaigner Maureen Mills, from Halsall Against Fracking, said: \"The toll this has taken on our lives is immeasurable. \"Our communities are left physically and mentally drained and devastated. For what? \"Years of anguish, research, protest, tears and fears. Stopping this industry has always been our goal and our reasons are now being taken seriously.\" Claire Stephenson, from Frack Free Lancashire, said: \"Today's announcement of the end of gratuitous government support for fracking is not a moment too soon. \"Our communities deserve to be put first before big business, and we have battled against this dirty industry for far too long.\" What is fracking? Lancashire - along with others parts of northern England - sits on large reserves of natural gas, residing in underground layers of shale. Fracking, which extracts that gas, resumed just over a year ago near the village of Little Plumpton. But it did not take long before more tremors were felt, including a 2.9 magnitude quake that rocked properties on the August Bank Holiday, leading to another suspension. Anti-fracking campaigner Barbara Richardson, who lives near Little Plumpton, told BBC Breakfast: \"We had 3,000 reports when there was a 2.9 on the Richter scale. \"People are anxious. They want this to go away, they want some respite from this.\" She said residents' concerns were \"not just of the earthquakes, but all the other risks that fracking entails to the environment and our health\". On the government's decision to halt fracking, she said: \"We're sceptical - a bit cynical - about the announcement prior to a general election and with Parliament dissolving next week.\" There have been regular protests since construction started in 2017 on the fracking site near Preston New Road, operated by energy firm Cuadrilla. Campaigners ranged from the \"anti-fracking nanas\" - a group of grandmothers who were prepared to risk arrest - to high-profile activists, such as the fashion designer Vivienne Westwood and Oscar-winning actress Emma Thompson. Dozens of protestors were detained for their attempts to stop the process, including climbing lorries and blockading roads. Lancashire Constabulary reported that between 25 and 100 officers were directly involved in the policing of fracking sites every day between January 2017 and June this year, at a cost of £11.8m. Anti-fracking protests at sites nationwide are estimated to have cost public bodies at least £32.7m since 2011. Ms Holliday said campaigners \"cautiously welcome\" the government's recent announcement. \"The residents of Preston New Road have suffered a great deal over the last three years since Cuadrilla began work at the site. \"It must be a huge relief for those communities that are currently under the threat of planning applications for fracking, knowing that they will now no longer need to go through what we have.\" Applications to undertake fracking in Yorkshire, Nottinghamshire and for a second site in Lancashire had previously been submitted by various firms.

It's nice to finally see this in the mainstream. \"I'm really proud and happy that [ITV] has chosen to do this and has chosen me of all people.\" 'Difficulties of dancing with another man' While both Matt and H are happy to be part of an historic TV moment - it does come with its own unique challenges. \"Coming into it, I wasn't quite sure what the difficulties were going to be - the only thing we have found is in a certain lift,\" says Matt. \"He rolls up over my shoulder and then goes into like a crucifix position and, let's just say, where I am supposed to put my hands - his anatomy gets in the way. \"Anatomy that a female may not have. That's the only thing that's been different.\" Although Dancing On Ice is the first to feature a same-sex pairing, there has been speculation that Strictly Come Dancing will do the same next year. In August, the BBC said it was \"completely open\" to it \"should the opportunity arise\". And in November, the show featured it's first same-sex dance routine. Strictly star Johannes Radebe said he felt liberated for the first time in his life after performing with fellow professional Graziano di Prima. While some viewers praised the move and said the routine moved them to tears, the BBC received around 200 complaints. H says he knew that Dancing on Ice making the move \"would be a big deal, it has to be a big deal - for it not to be a big deal. \"Once this is out of the way hopefully they'll do it again next year and nobody will blink an eye.\" Follow Newsbeat on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.

Earlier it had been reported that the substance in the letters had tested positive for the deadly poison ricin. Utah police have detained a man in connection to the case. Ricin is made from castor seeds and is a by-product of castor oil production. \"According to our preliminary analysis, the substance was castor seeds, from which ricin is derived,\" Mrs White said in a statement. She added that the FBI investigation continued. The secret service said on Monday that suspicious envelopes containing the substance were sent to Defence Secretary James Mattis and US President Donald Trump. Letters were also sent to US Navy Admiral John Richardson at the Pentagon and Senator Ted Cruz's office in Houston, Texas. On Wednesday, Police Chief Tyson Budge said the FBI led a raid on the suspect's house earlier in the day. Chief Budge told the BBC that the \"FBI used their own tactical team\" and wore hazardous material protective gear as they conducted the search in Logan, about 80 miles (135km) north of Salt Lake City. He said that one suspect has been detained. According to the Herald Journal newspaper, the suspect is a former US Navy sailor. Officials say that the substance found in Texas was also castor seeds, not ricin, according to ABC News. According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, castor seeds can release ricin and cause injury if swallowed. The federal agency said it can be manufactured into a weapon in the form of a powder, mist or pellet. Ricin poison is approximately 6,000 times deadlier than cyanide, and there is no antidote.",

It will be carried by long-standing character Billy Mitchell, played by Perry Fenwick. The torch will pass through 1,018 communities across the UK, it was announced last week. London Games organisers Locog revealed that the torch will pass some of the soap's iconic landmarks including the market, the launderette and The Queen Vic pub. The relay runs from 19 May to 27 July 2012, with the torch travelling about 8,000 miles, culminating in the lighting of the cauldron at the Olympic Stadium in Stratford at the Games' opening ceremony. Along the way it will also fly by zip wire from the Tyne Bridge, cross Loch Ness and visit landmarks including the Giant's Causeway and Stonehenge. EastEnders viewers have already seen characters Fat Boy and Billy Mitchell discover they have been nominated as torchbearers. In Tuesday night's episode, regulars in The Queen Vic will find out that the torch will be passing through Walford. But it is not until December that Billy will discover he has been chosen to carry it. The episode next year will see live footage of Billy being cheered on by the residents of Walford as he carries the flame. Although much of it will be filmed in advance, several minutes of the Olympic procession will be broadcast live from the Elstree set. Sebastian Coe, Chair of Locog, said: \"Today's announcement is a great addition to the Olympic Torch Relay Route. I'm sure the people of Walford will now start planning their celebrations to welcome the flame to Albert Square. \"Along with people right round the UK, the residents of Albert Square will be getting involved to make this their moment to shine.\" Fenwick added: \"When we first discussed the storyline, my initial thought was that I'll now have to get fit! \"While this may be a fictional one-off for Billy Mitchell, it's a real once in a lifetime opportunity for me and I am thrilled that Walford and Albert Square will be part of this amazing event.\" The name Walford is a mixture of the place names Walthamstow and Stratford. Tony Holland, one of the creators of the series, was born in Walthamstow in east London, and Walford is also the name of a street in nearby Dalston, where Holland lived. This not the first time the Olympics and EastEnders have crossed paths. The Olympic Park is to get the same postcode as the soap, the Royal Mail revealed in March. The site, in Stratford, will receive an E20 code - which is currently used by Walford in the long-running series. Locog said last week the torch will come within 10 miles of 95% of the population. It will go through every English county and every local authority area in Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales. People nominated to carry the torch will be contacted with a conditional offer in December and the final 8,000 places will be confirmed from February.

Last November theBBC reported on widespread claims by small businessesthat they had been mis-sold swaps by other High Street banks. A spokesman for the FSA told the BBC that it had investigated some individual cases of swaps mis-selling in the past after receiving a \"handful of calls to our contact centre\", and had asked the lenders involved to \"review their systems and correct any problems\". The latest investigation follows areport in the Sunday Telegraphthat Barclays asked a care home provider to keep information about a swap confidential from the FSA. The FSA said such a requirement in a financial contract was unacceptable. Barclays \"has apologised [for the confidentiality clause] and agreed to write to all the customers affected\", the regulator said. Court cases The BBC has spoken to several small and medium-sized businesses, including another care home provider, who claim to have been pushed by various lenders into buying inappropriate interest rate swaps. The swaps are a type of derivative that are widely traded in the international financial markets, and sold by banks to major corporations. Until recent years it was unusual for banks to sell them to smaller, less sophisticated business clients. The financial contract is supposed to be used by borrowers as a hedge against the risk of rising interest rates. But they can also result in significant losses for borrowers if interest rates fall, as they have done - to historic lows - since the 2008 financial crisis. Some businesses claim to have been sold swaps that were inappropriate as hedges - for instance because the swap lasted many years longer than the loan - and to have been told that the swap was a condition for receiving the loan. Banks have faced a number of court cases from businesses. So far, none has come to a decision. But several cases have been settled out of court, typically with the borrower agreeing not to discuss the case in public. 'Open dialogue' Barclays said in a statement: \"The language referred to in the settlement letter provided to the FSA was included in error during the outset of the process to manage this category of customer complaints. \"Subsequently in early 2010 the language was amended specifically to acknowledge the importance of either party being able to share the outcome of the complaints management process with their regulator. \"We believe only a small number of customers would have been impacted by the error. Barclays will be contacting those customers to clarify the position. \"Barclays both recognises and values the importance of a transparent and open dialogue with regulators and customers throughout the complaints management process.\"",

            "input": "We put some of them to our expert guests on BBC Africa's Kenya Election Watch podcast. It's a 15-minute show with three segments: Main interview, fact-checking, and audience questions. Listen to the final episode: Kenya Election Watch special: Everything you need to know about the elections. Here are some of the questions we have already answered: How important is ethnicity in the election? Kenya's political leaders have always relied on the backing of members of their ethnic group and it will be no different this time around. It is therefore not surprising that some political analysts have been looking at the voter registration in the candidates' ethnic strongholds as an indicator of who may have an upper hand. Kenya's five major ethnic groups make up about 70% of the population. In order to win the presidential race a candidate needs to forge ethnic alliances to get a majority of that vote. Ethnicity also plays a role in the MP, senate and local votes. However, President Uhuru Kenyatta told the Financial Times that he expects this election to be fought on economic issues, particularly the rising cost of food. The opposition has accused the government for failing to anticipate food shortages resulting from the ongoing drought. It has also accused the government of creating an artificial food shortage to allow affiliated businessmen to use the emergency period to import maize, a staple food, duty-free into the country. The government has denied the allegations and has since moved to subsidise maize flour. Mr Kenyatta could have a point about voters being motivated by issues other than ethnic affiliation. A poll in April found that 28% of voters were undecided. Which candidate will get Kenyan troops out of Somalia? President Kenyatta has said that Kenyan troops will remain in Somalia as part of its peacekeeping mission until peace and stability are restored. Kenya has 3,600 troops serving under the UN mission in Somalia (Amisom), having been deployed in 2011 in pursuit of Islamist militants al-Shabab after a series of cross-border attacks. But opposition coalition Nasa has said it would withdraw Kenyan troops from Somalia, saying they were needed back home. Since the 2011 intervention, al-Shabab militants have perpetrated several attacks in Kenya, including the high-profile attacks in Westgate mall in the capital, Nairobi in 2013 and the killing of 148 students at Garissa University. In January last year, some 150 troops were reportedly killed after al-Shabab militants overran a Kenyan military base. Others were captured and have appeared on the militants' propaganda videos. The Kenyan government has not officially acknowledged the number of soldiers killed or kidnapped in the attack. Will the electoral commission deliver a credible election? A new team of election officials took office in January after the previous team was accused of mismanaging the 2013 election. The judgement on the credibility of the election will have to be passed after 8 August. The electoral commission says it is working on some of the challenges that characterised the 2013 elections, such as a lack of staff training on using the voting technology and delays in getting election materials. The commission has acquired a system known at the Kenya Integrated Election Management System (KIEMS) which is currently being used to verify voters' registration and will be used on election day to verify the eligibility of voters, tally results and transmit them to a national tallying centre. Electoral commission chairman Wafula Chebukati told a press briefing in May that the staff were interacting with the KIEMS machine months ahead of the election, unlike the previous election when staff were not given time to familiarise themselves with the new technology. In February, 65% of those polled said they had confidence in the electoral body. How are the campaigns using social media? Social media is playing a bigger role in this election than in the past. Kenya has a very active and loosely connected Twitter community who identity as #KOT (Kenyans on Twitter). Their influence can be seen during the campaign period where they push the agenda of their political favourites. Political parties have also hired social media influencers who have big followings to push their messages. Others have a dedicated team of \"social media ninjas\" whose role is to create a positive narrative and obfuscate any discussion that is deemed as damaging the campaign they are backing. The parties and candidates are also creating short video explainers for their campaign talking points, memes and hashtags to push their agendas and attack their opponents. Some politicians are also using Twitter bots to exaggerate the numbers of their followers. The mainstream media is also using Facebook, You Tube and Twitter to broadcast political rallies and special programming. The leading presidential candidates have been especially busy. President Kenyatta has been sharing messages of unity and development: While opposition leader Raila Odinga has been saying that he has the backing of 10 million voters. Mr Odinga's campaign is essentially saying they are favourites to win the election because there are 19 million eligible voters. The minister for internal security has been critical of the opposition's rhetoric, saying it was creating anxiety in the country, but Mr Kenyatta's party has also been pushing the message that it will win the election by garnering 70% of the vote. Thousands of candidates are competing for various seats but not all are getting much coverage on mainstream media, a situation that has led some of them, especially independent candidates, to use social media platforms like Facebook Live to engage with voters directly. How are the politicians funding their election campaigns? Kenya does not have an election campaign funding law. An attempt by the electoral commission to introduce one last year was defeated by MPs. The commission had proposed caps for different seats: The absence of the law means candidates are currently free to spend as much as they want. According to the privately owned Daily Nation, \"most of the money is spent on logistics and advertisements but many candidates and parties also bribe voters\". It reports that in the 2013 election, then opposition coalition Cord spent in excess of $50m (£40m) while the governing Jubilee Party spent more than $100m to run its presidential campaign. Politicians raise money from businessmen and some hold fundraisers. Opposition parties however accuse the ruling party of using state resources in its campaigns. Will there be post-election violence? Ken Opalo, from Georgetown University in the US, says that while there is likely to be some trouble, it will not be on the scale seen 10 years ago, which left more than 1,000 people dead and about 600,000 displaced from their homes. \"I am not too worried about the national elections. The real action will likely be at the county level,\" he said. \"There will most certainly be violence. But again, that will be more a reflection of what is at stake, rather than some descent into complete chaos and state failure.\" This is a view shared by Nic Cheeseman, professor of democracy at the UK's University of Birmingham and a commentator on Kenyan politics. He says \"disorderly party primaries are a reason to be concerned, but that they may not lead to greater conflict come election day\". What chaotic primaries tell us about election What is the true picture of Kenya's economy? Kenya has maintained steady economic growth rate in the past five years, averaging 5% per year. However, rising prices of basic goods like milk, bread and maize flour have pushed inflation up to 12%, and many Kenyan families say they are now struggling to get by. Kenyans have been using the hashtag #CostOfLivingKe to share the costs of basic items and how they are adjusting their lifestyles. \"Every election year, the economy also experiences a shrinkage and that's no different this year as investors wait out on the election period,\" Kwame Owino, CEO of the Institute of Economic Affairs told the BBC. \"Some companies are currently cutting down employment, but not in big numbers, and the informal sector remains the biggest employer,\" he added. Positives: Kenya got $1bn in new investments in 2014 following some reforms like reducing the costs of doing business and bureaucracy, investment in infrastructure and lowering visa costs which has encouraged tourism. Negatives: The economy has however been strained by corruption, heightened political tension and state-controlled bank interest rates - a measure meant to reduce borrowing costs that has failed to deliver. The UN's development agency (UNDP) says Kenya has the highest unemployment rate in the region, with four out of 10 Kenyans out of work. Mr Owino says that dispassionate voters may be guided by who they think will best serve their economic interests. How bad is corruption? In its 2016 report Transparency International ranked Kenya at position 145 out of 176 countries. It blamed Kenya's low ranking on the incompetence and ineffectiveness of anti-corruption agencies, saying that the failure to punish individuals implicated in graft had been a major stumbling block. Anti-corruption campaigner John Githongo has called President Uhuru Kenyatta's administration \"the most corrupt in Kenya's history\". Mr Kenyatta has, however, said his anti-corruption efforts were being undermined by the courts, who were slowing prosecutions and the anti-corruption agency, who he said were \"sluggish\". Mr Githongo cites several reported scandals involving alleged inflation of costs of projects and payments to phantom companies. In 2015, Mr Kenyatta suspended and eventually removed five ministers and other high-ranking officials on corruption allegations. Another minister resigned after public pressure. Opposition members have also been named in several scandals but some have accused the government of scapegoating. Constitutional bodies set up to fight corruption have been accused of being partisan and lacking independence. Kenyan political analyst Barrack Muluka blames ordinary Kenyans for the corruption problem, saying that they are blinded by their ethnicity: \"A government can steal as much as it wants and Kenyans will be happy as long as it's 'our thieves'.\" He points at the April party primaries where candidates of questionable integrity and those accused of being involved in corruption won their races. Mr Githongo, calls it \"normalisation of the absurdity\". He says that theft has become normal: \"Those we used to call thieves are now hustlers,\" he says.",

            "input": "By Theo LeggettBusiness correspondent, BBC News Since then, the company has agreed to pay substantial compensation to people in the US who bought cars equipped with illegal software, capable of disguising their true emissions levels. But Volkswagen has not yet made any payments to buyers in the UK or elsewhere in Europe, even though millions of cars sold in the region were also fitted with similar software. Nor does it have any plans to do so. However, efforts are now being made to force the company to change its mind, orchestrated by the European Commission. The Department for Transport has been involved in the discussions. Defeat devices The scandal first became public in the US in September 2015. It emerged that roughly 600,000 diesel vehicles had been fitted with \"defeat devices\" - software which could recognise when a car was being tested, and turn on its emission controls systems. They could then be turned off again when the car was being used on the road. That would improve its performance, but also dramatically increase the levels of harmful nitrogen oxides it produced. The software had been developed by VW's engineers because they realised that their cars were not capable of both passing strict US emissions tests, and offering high levels of performance. But the scandal was not confined to the US. It soon became apparent that cars sold all around the world had also been fitted with defeat devices - including about eight million in Europe. They included cars sold under the Audi, Skoda, Seat and Porsche brands, as well as Volkswagens. Consumer anger News of what Volkswagen had been doing prompted angry reactions from buyers, many of whom demanded compensation. In the US, they got what they wanted. Under the terms of a $10bn settlement with the Federal Trade Commission, VW agreed to buy back or repair all of the affected vehicles, and provide their owners with a cash sum of at least $5,000. Buyers in Canada received a similar settlement, but only after taking out a class action lawsuit against the company. In Europe, things have been rather different. Although Volkswagen is in the process of recalling the affected vehicles and modifying them, it has refused to provide any recompense for buyers. Legal niceties There is a good reason why Volkswagen has made payments in the US. It simply had no choice. What it was doing was clearly illegal. The company has admitted that it deliberately set out to circumvent the emissions testing process, and designed its defeat device accordingly. It also lied to regulators about what it was doing. The US authorities take a very dim view of this kind of thing. As a result Volkswagen is facing a total bill in the US of $21bn. That includes large criminal and civil fines, as well as the cost of buybacks and compensation. If VW had decided to fight the charges rather than settling, it could have been even bigger. It has also pleaded guilty to criminal charges of conspiracy to commit fraud and obstruction of justice. Europe complicated In the UK and other European countries, the situation is more complicated. Although it is in the process of recalling millions of vehicles fitted with software capable of cheating emissions tests, Volkswagen denies actually doing anything illegal. It says, for example, it \"does not accept that a defeat device prohibited under UK law was fitted to any of the affected UK vehicles\". It also insists: \"This issue has not caused any loss of engine performance or any increase in running costs. Nor has it changed fuel economy figures, CO2 emission figures or the vehicles' tax status. \"In addition the value of the vehicles has not been negatively affected by this issue.\" So no compensation, it argues, is needed. Similar arguments are used in other European countries. Put simply, Volkswagen doesn't believe that in Europe the \"defeat devices\" were actually defeat devices - in the strictest legal sense. It also maintains that the software wasn't actually needed to pass emissions tests in Europe, which were less stringent than those in the US. Combined action Nevertheless, efforts are under way in Brussels to force Volkswagen to pay up. Last week the European Commission hosted a meeting of 22 consumer protection authorities from across the continent. They agreed to prepare collective action against the company. It is understood this could involve individual authorities imposing co-ordinated fines on Volkswagen for alleged breaches of consumer law, as well as taking a joint \"administrative decision\", which could be used to support litigation against the company in national courts. According to people within the Commission, the main aim is to put pressure on the carmaker, in the hope that it will voluntarily provide compensation. A spokesman for the Department for Transport said afterwards that the government took \"the unacceptable actions of VW extremely seriously\" and was \"pushing them to compensate the UK consumer\". Even if these efforts fail, VW could yet be forced to make substantial payouts. It is facing a range of class action lawsuits, representing hundreds of thousands of disgruntled buyers - and if it loses, the bill could be very steep indeed.",

The Alabay is a home-bred Turkmen variety of the Central Asian shepherd dog and is listed under the country's national heritage. It isn't the first time the breed has been honoured by the president - last year he devoted a book to the Alabay. Despite the grandeur of the statue, much of Turkmenistan's population is impoverished. The country is ranked one of the least free in the world by press freedom organisation RSF, just one place above North Korea. The statue is located in a residential area designed for civil servants, according to Eurasianet. It features an LED screen with video footage of the breed in various situations. It's unclear how much the statue cost to construct. State media says the statue reflects the breed's \"pride and self-confidence\". During the unveiling, a young boy was handed an Alabay dog, which is officially listed as an asset of the country's national heritage, along with the handmade carpets and the ancient Ahal Teke breed of race horse. Mr Berdymukhamedov has spoken of his love of local Ahal Teke horses, known for their beauty and stamina. In 2015, a golden statue of the president riding a horse was unveiled.

            "input": "The suggestion is outlined in a policy statement issued by Transport for London (TfL). The move could affect services such as Uber Pool, which let customers share a car with strangers. The policy statement said operators should \"allow passengers to choose who they share vehicles with (e.g. women-only vehicles)\". It said they should \"establish how passengers might be able to decide... before accepting a ride\". The idea is listed under a section on \"improving customer safety.\" Helen Chapman, Interim Director of Licensing, Regulation and Charging, said: \"The private hire market is unrecognisable from when current legislation was introduced. The growth of ride-sharing and other advances mean that regulation has to be fit for the next decade and not the last.\" TfL is now investigating what changes need to be made to current legislation in order to improve private hire, including ride-sharing services, in light of advances in technology, and to ensure the safety and security of passengers and drivers. Any changes would be subject to a full consultation. New regulations could include strengthened requirements for operators to: • make a strong commitment to safety as a high priority, and to take appropriate steps to ensure the safety of their passengers, but also for drivers when dealing with difficult situations • clearly state policies and action plans for the prevention and reporting of offences and for clear, named accountability at senior management level for safety, reporting and protection of personal data • provide mechanisms to allow passengers to choose who they share vehicles with and establishing how passengers might be able to decide on this before accepting a ride The Uber Pool service allows passengers to book a car that they can share with others with the fare being split between the travellers. Uber lost its licence to operate in London last September and is currently appealing against the decision from TfL, but is able to continue to operate in the city in the meantime. At the time, TfL said the ride-hailing app firm was not fit and proper to hold a London private hire operator licence. It said it took the decision on the grounds of \"public safety and security implications\". TfL's concerns include Uber's approach to carrying out background checks on drivers, and reporting serious criminal offences.",

            "input": "By Justin ParkinsonBBC News Magazine At first sight not much unites Beyonce and Max Mosley. But they, and several other celebrities and organisations, have become victims of the \"Streisand effect\". In 2005, Mike Masnick, founder of the Techdirt website, coined the term. Two years earlier singer Barbra Streisand unsuccessfully sued photographer Kenneth Adelman, who was documenting the coastline of California, for including her clifftop home in Malibu. The resulting publicity helped drive 420,000 visits in a month to the site where the photo was published. According to documents filed in court, images of Streisand's house had been downloaded only six times before the legal action. It's not always a fight over privacy. In February last year the Buzzfeed website published a selection of singer Beyonce's \"fiercest moments\" - mocking her facial expressions while performing at the Superbowl. Her publicist reportedly contacted it to ask that seven of the most \"unflattering\" photos be removed. Buzzfeed refused and republished exactly this selection with the headline: \"The 'Unflattering' Photos Beyonce's Publicist Doesn't Want You To See\". The exposure of the unflattering photos was magnified. A few months later it was reported that lawyers for Pippa Middleton, sister of the Duchess of Cambridge, had asked for the removal of a parody Twitter feed, which offered ridiculously obvious lifestyle advice in her name, such as \"Avoid getting lost by consulting with a map\" and \"A party isn't much fun without people attending\". Its following increased. In 2008 the Church of Scientology reportedly tried to get a video featuring film star Tom Cruise talking about his faith, designed for viewing by its followers only, removed from websites after it was leaked. The publicity meant it became shared more widely. In 2012, Argyll and Bute Council banned nine-year-old Martha Payne from taking pictures of her school meals and posting them, along with dismissive ratings out of 10, on a blog. Her family complained and this was overturned, amid much publicity. To date the blog has had more than 10 million hits and Martha has raised more than £130,000 for charity. You don't need to be famous to suffer from the Streisand effect. Spaniard Mario Costeja Gonzalez fought a long legal battle for the right to be forgotten. He complained that a search of his name in Google brought up newspaper articles from 16 years ago about a sale of property to recover money he owed. He enjoyed a landmark victory to establish the right to be forgotten. But it is unlikely he will ever be forgotten. As of this moment, his name conjures up hundreds of thousands of Google search results. The Streisand effect But Max Mosley is arguably the greatest example. He is suing Google for continuing to display in search results images of him with prostitutes at a sex party, citing alleged breaches of the Data Protection Act and misuse of private information. Every time he makes a legal move in his crusade over privacy, there's a danger it becomes more likely people will seek out the very images he is complaining about. The 74-year-old former president of Formula One's governing body FIA wants Google to block pictures first published in the now-defunct tabloid News of the World, which he successfully sued in 2008. \"As the gateway to the internet Google makes enormous profits and has great influence, so I have not taken this action lightly,\" he has said in a statement. His lawyers add that the company should not be allowed \"to act as an arbiter of what is lawful and what is not\". Google says it has been working with Mosley \"to address his concerns\". But is there a risk that Mosley will cause himself more embarrassment by bringing a fairly old, and perhaps half-forgotten, news story back to people's attention? A survey of Twitter shows some users are posting the pictures that he is keen to remove. \"Anyone trying to get something banned is always going to be of more interest than something that people don't seem bothered by,\" says Jenny Afia, head of talent at the law firm Schillings. \"It's a spark for curiosity.\" In previous generations there's no doubt it was more straightforward to attempt to suppress information or images. The ease of sharing now almost means that nothing can really be suppressed. You could argue that the internet makes attempts to guard your privacy risky on a scale proportional to the likelihood of your privacy being meaningfully breached in the first place. If there was a danger that lots of people would circulate a private photo of you doing something embarrassing, it's very likely that trying to suppress it will have the opposite effect. If there was little danger that the photo would have been circulated, an attempt at suppression might not trigger the Streisand effect. There are endless mischief-makers who would dedicate themselves to propagating information that someone wanted hidden, just for the very fact of the attempt to hide it. Mosley is a wealthy man used to publicity. Yet suing could mean a stressful, drawn-out court case, covered in detail by the media. \"It's a horrible dilemma for people who are faced with horrible or untrue stories,\" says Afia. \"That's where Max Mosley is very brave to keep fighting. Many people decide to let it go.\" For the likes of Mosley and Costeja Gonzalez, the principle surely supersedes the actual effect of legal action. They effectively end up fighting for the right of others to more easily safeguard their privacy. Even at the de facto cost of their own. And there's a clear difference between those fighting for a right to privacy and those, like Beyonce's representatives, who are merely trying to manage a reputation or public image. There the Streisand effect is potent. If your reaction to mockery is to try and squash it, there will be lots more mockery. Public relations expert Mark Borkowski says modern celebrities, open to Twitter trolls and online parodies, need \"the skin of a rhino\". \"If it's really, really trivial you have to make the decision about whether you're going react to the person who's satirising you and potentially make it much worse.\" Subscribe to the BBC News Magazine's email newsletter to get articles sent to your inbox.",

            "input": "The baby chicks huddled together outside their wrecked house, dipping their beaks into a puddle of water and pecking at feed spilt across the ground. They belonged to Dan Smalley, who owns one of the largest poultry farms in the state of Alabama. But on Saturday, they were destined not for the dinner table but to be euthanised. In Alabama on Wednesday, the storm devastated the state's $2.4bn (£1.43bn) a year poultry industry, levelling chicken houses, killing birds and knocking out power to feed mills and processing plants. While most of Mr Smalley's chicks survived the storm, he estimates he will lose about 200,000 birds in the coming days because the storm destroyed the facilities he needs to tend them. \"We can't care for them,\" Mr Smalley, 62, said as he toured the farm in a blue Ford pick up truck. \"No electricity, no water.\" Rebuilding ahead Across Alabama, the storm destroyed 200 chicken houses and significantly damaged as many as 450 others. Alabama's poultry industry is the third-largest in the US, producing about one billion meat chickens (called broilers) every year, and officials estimate it could be six months to a year before the industry resumes full production. In general, the farmers do not own the chickens but raise them under contract with national sellers. Farms like Mr Smalley's take day-old chicks, fatten them on a diet of corn and soy meal, and truck them out when they are six to eight weeks old to be rendered into a variety of chicken products for supermarket shelves, restaurants and fast food franchises. Mr Smalley's birds are sold by Pilgrim's Pride, the second largest producer in the US. If you have ordered chicken from Burger King, Chick-fil-A or KFC in the US, you may have tasted one of his birds. Although most Alabama farmers will not suffer financially from the loss of the livestock, they will have to rebuild the chicken houses and feed pens and replace destroyed heavy kit. Insurance companies are expected to cover much of the losses. Meanwhile, a damaged hatchery will need to be repaired and a processing plant and feed mill will have to be brought back online. It takes 20-25 weeks for new breeder hens to mature, and three weeks for eggs to hatch. Twisted metal Mr Smalley's 400-acre farm, which he has run since 1978, is nestled in a quiet, narrow green valley about 40 miles (65km) from the nearest city. On a recent afternoon, the warm air smelled strongly of chicken droppings, and the ground and virtually every structure and vehicle on the farm was covered in a dirty white quilt of chicken down strewn by the storm. Twisted sheet metal from the chicken house roofs lay scattered across a field like old sheets of newspaper. Nine of his 15 chicken houses - long, simple sheds in which about 20,000 chicks each spend the better part of their brief lives - were completely destroyed. Without the ability to feed and water his chickens and to transport them to the processing plants, Mr Smalley will have to put them down, he says. \"They're what made me a living all these years,\" said Mr Smalley, a corpulent man with a syrupy thick southern drawl. \"We take care of them as best we can. But we're not making any money for a while, doesn't look like.\" 'Used to adversity' Neighbours had stopped by to offer their assistance, but Mr Smalley told them he was not ready to receive any. He said he had to wait for the insurance company to decide which houses he had to demolish and which could be rebuilt. \"We're going to still be in the chicken business,\" he said. \"But to what degree, I don't know.\" Guy Hall, poultry director of the Alabama Farmers Federation, predicted most chicken farmers would take the insurance money and get back to work. \"They're used to adversity,\" he said. \"Most farmers are used to dealing with the weather. \"They're used to power outages and storms that tear things up. They're just resilient people and they're used to working 365 days a year. When you've got livestock, they've got to be looked after everyday.\"",

Iran has repeatedly denied that Stuxnet had affected its nuclear programme. The UN said last week that Iran had temporarily halted most of its uranium enrichment work earlier this month. The West fears Iran's ultimate goal is to build nuclear weapons. Iran says its programme is aimed solely at peaceful energy use. \"They succeeded in creating problems for a limited number of our centrifuges with the software they had installed in electronic parts,\" Mr Ahmadinejad told a news conference. \"Our specialists stopped that and they will not be able to do it again,\" he added without elaborating on the software thought to have been used. The Vienna-based International Atomic Energy Agency said in a report last week that a temporary stoppage had hit Iran's Natanz enrichment nuclear plant earlier this month. Experts say the worm, which Iran said in September had attacked its computers, has been specially configured to damage motors commonly used in uranium-enrichment centrifuges by sending them spinning out of control. The computer virus is a form of customised malware, written to attack a precise target. Analysts say the complexity of the code suggests it was created by a \"nation state\" in the West, rather than an organised crime group. Senior Iranian officials have said that the virus is evidence that an \"electronic war\" has been launched against the country.

The director of the Moscow gallery hopes the experience will widen public participation in art. When users wear the VR headset, they can walk around the recreated studios of Natalia Goncharova and Kazimir Malevich. Goncharova died in 1962 in Paris where she spent much of her life. Malevich died in 1935 in the Soviet Union. In Goncharova's studio, users can arrange items on a table and use a VR paintbrush to add colour to their design. In Malevich's studio, it is possible to throw items at the canvas, where they turn into colourful shapes, in the style of the supremacist style which he founded. The use of virtual reality in art has been on the rise in recent years with galleries looking for ways to use new technology to attract visitors. The Tate Modern in London recently held a VR exhibition based on the later life of Italian artist Amedeo Modigliani. In Moscow, the Garage art gallery put on a Bidding for Glasnost exhibition which featured a virtual reality auction. Zelfira Tregulova, director of the Tretyakov Gallery, hopes that galleries can make art more accessible through the use of technology. \"We showed this program to some specialists who are trying now to introduce new means of education, and education about art at secondary schools, and they were really amazed how quickly and easily this introduction could be carried out,\" she told the BBC. As the technology develops, Ms Tregulova is hopeful that the Tretyakov can reach people in more remote parts of Russia. \"This could be a strong impetus for children in schools placed in towns or regions where there are no real museums, to understand that art is not something which is an obligation which is imposed on them that it's a very involving, interesting world to experience,\" she said. However with the price of high-end VR kits stretching into the thousands, cost is often a consideration for art directors. Ms Tregulova agreed: \"We all know that these new technologies are very expensive. If you want to do it in a good way it's an expensive thing. So everybody has to think about their priorities.\"",

No, because the virus is still confined to China and has no ability at present to transmit between humans. The facts of the new virus are simply put. In the space of one month more than 100 people have been infected in China. One in five has died and many more are seriously ill in hospital. It causes pneumonia and can lead to multi-organ failure. The virus originated in chickens and those who have fallen ill either attended live poultry markets or had close contact with infected birds. \"I think we're concerned because we have to prepare. Alarmed? No. The virus in humans is still confined to one region of China. It's got a high population but it still seems to be solely animal to human infection and it is not spreading between humans,\" said Prof John McCauley, director of a World Health Organization (WHO) collaborating centre in the UK. H5N1 For years virologists and the WHO warned - in often apocalyptic terms - about the threat posed by H5N1. The Hs and the Ns are the surface proteins on the virus and give the different subtypes their name. H5N1 has been infecting and killing humans since 1997 - 628 cases and 374 deaths. H5N1 no longer makes the international headlines but already this year it has caused eight deaths in Cambodia. But thankfully it is still largely a disease of birds and has does not transmit easily between humans. That does not mean that H5N1 or H7N9 could never become airborne human infections; last year scientists showed that it would take around five mutations for bird flu to do just that. H7N9 has already undergone two of the mutations needed in the space of a month. But whether it will go any further is impossible to predict. \"It's like rolling the dice or winning the lottery. The more you do it, the more likely the mutations are to crop up and therefore limiting the number who are getting infected by this virus at the moment is the best thing that we can do to minimise the chance that this virus could ever turn into a pandemic,\" said Prof Wendy Barclay, chair of influenza virology, Imperial College London. Influenza experts have to tread a fine line between alerting the public and alarming them. \"We have been waiting for human to human transmission of H5N1 for years. But that doesn't mean it won't happen tonight or tomorrow. We have to be honest and open that we can't predict whether or when that will happen,\" said Prof Jeremy Farrar, director of the Wellcome Trust major overseas programme in Vietnam. Unlike H5N1, the new virus does not cause illness in birds, making it very difficult to identify infected flocks. International flu experts have praised the Chinese authorities for the way they have shared information about this outbreak. Many people will be sceptical about the risk of a flu pandemic after the 2009 swine flu outbreak turned out less serious than feared. But pandemics have killed millions in the past - so the essential work to create a vaccine will continue and to track the H7N9 virus will continue.",

To put it another way, she was the perpetual outsider, sometimes by chance, and at other times by choice. Even the moment of her greatest achievement in 1914 - winning one of Wales's most prestigious cultural prizes while still a teenager - is notable above all because she was so obviously not Welsh. In India, Dorothy Bonarjee and her family stood apart, by class, culture and religion. They were upper-caste Bengali brahmins, but Dorothy spent her childhood living a simple life on the family estate hundreds of miles away from Bengal in Rampur, near India's border with Nepal. They were also Christians - her grandfather served as a Scottish pastor in Calcutta (now Kolkata) after being converted by celebrated Scottish missionary Alexander Duff. Dorothy's life changed utterly in 1904 when - along with her brothers, Bertie and Neil - she was sent to London for her schooling. She was just 10 years old. Dorothy's parents - both of whom had spent time in Britain - wanted their children to be, like them, part of the \"England returned\" who were increasingly running India on behalf of the imperial power. Among the Indian elite, this British experience had \"something of the snob value of a peerage in Great Britain,\" one of the Bonarjee clan remarked. A photograph survives of the three young Bonarjees at about the time they arrived in London. Dorothy looks demure in a white dress with a black ribbon in her hair. Bertie, her older brother, is in a suit and tie. It's a statement of how English they had become - even though the world around would always see them as Indian. Dorothy's father was a barrister as well as a landowner. She was probably closer to her mother, who was a strong advocate of girls' education. Both daughter and mother were active supporters in Britain of votes for women. And thanks to her mother, Dorothy had a privilege rare in either Britain or India a century ago - she was going to get an education just as good as her brothers. \"At the time of the First World War, there were about a thousand Indian students at British universities,\" says Dr Sumita Mukherjee at the University of Bristol, who has written a book about \"England returned\" Indians. \"Around 50 to 70 of these would have been women.\" In 1912, Dorothy Bonarjee joined this select group. The family had expected Dorothy to go to the University of London. But according to family folklore, she found London too \"snobbish\" and so opted instead for the University College of Wales in the largely Welsh-speaking seaside town of Aberystwyth. \"Where the hell is that?!\" her father is said to have exclaimed. But Dorothy got her way. And her brother Bertie also enrolled there - in part to serve as his sister's chaperone. Dorothy's decision may well have been shaped by the progressive reputation of the college. \"A major foundational principle for the establishment of the University College at Aberystwyth was that all religious persuasions and cultural backgrounds were welcome,\" says Dr Susan Davies, an archivist and historian at what is now Aberystwyth University. And the college, the oldest of three forming the University of Wales at that time, also had an impressive record in gender equality. By the time Dorothy arrived there, approaching half the students were women, a much higher proportion than at most British universities at this time. By the time of her graduation ceremony in 1916 - when many of the men were fighting in Flanders and France - women were in a clear majority. Dorothy was clearly a popular student, taking a prominent role in the literary and debating society and helping edit the college journal. Her big moment came in February 1914 at the college's annual Eisteddfod, a pageant and celebration of Welsh culture in which writers and musicians competed for prizes. While this was not as prestigious as the national Eisteddfod, it was a major cultural event in the country's Welsh-speaking heartlands. Entrants for the main competition, poetry in the traditional Welsh style, had a chance to win an imposing hand-carved oak chair. All poems were submitted under pseudonyms. A Welsh newspaper, the Cambria Daily Leader, reported on its front page under the headline Hindu Lady Chaired the \"remarkable\" scenes when the winner was announced: The highest place was awarded to 'Shita', for an ode written in English, and described as an excellent and highly dramatic treatment of the subject... Miss Bonarjee received a deafening ovation when she stood up and revealed herself as 'Shita'. She was led up to the throne... The 'chairing' ceremony then proceeded amidst great enthusiasm. Dorothy's parents were present to see their 19-year-old daughter's success. Her father was prevailed upon to address the crowd, thanking them for the way they had \"received a successful competitor of a different race and country\". If India had given birth to a poet, he declared, Wales had educated her and given her an opportunity to develop her poetic instincts. Dorothy Bonarjee was the first foreign student and the first woman to triumph at the college Eisteddfod. This was a landmark achievement - the first woman to win the chair at the national Eisteddfod came as recently as 2001. Emboldened by her success, she contributed poems to journals including The Welsh Outlook, a monthly magazine reflecting and encouraging Welsh cultural nationalism. Even after she left Wales, she continued to publish there. \"She loved the Welsh,\" says her niece Sheela Bonarjee. \"She couldn't speak Welsh - so she was always an outsider in that sense. But they did accept her.\" However, Dorothy endured heartbreak at Aberystwyth as well as acclaim. Sheela Bonarjee still has the battered black exercise book in which her aunt collated her verse. Alongside one of the poems, Dorothy jotted down a note: \"Written at the age of 22 when a Welsh student after 3 years of secret engagement dropped me because his parents said 'She is very beautiful and intelligent but she is Indian.'\" \"It destroyed her. She was distraught,\" Sheela says, recalling the confidences her aunt shared about that failed romance. \"There's a poem of hers that shows the loss of that boyfriend.\" That poem is called Renunciation: So I must give thee up - not with the glow Of those who losing much yet rather gain. But losing all. Did never martyr go Along the bleeding road of useless pain? Did never one held prisoner by a creed, Obsessed by stern heroic ghosts, made dumb By those who answered duty to his need, With faithless loathing feet to his fate come? Dorothy had got used to being the outsider but there could be a painful price to pay for being different. Her younger brother, Neil, later studied at Oxford - and came across a wall of prejudice there. \"Indians in general, it must be said, along with other coloured races were not popular in the University,\" he wrote. His English fellow students \"had something which I had not, namely an Empire. They possessed, while I only belonged.\" Dorothy was undaunted. From Aberystwyth, she and Bertie returned to London where both took a second degree course. Again, she was a trailblazer - the first woman student at University College London to be awarded a law degree. The family then expected the youngsters to return and make their lives and careers in India. Her brothers dutifully got on the boat. Dorothy rebelled. She was caught between different cultures and social values. She was free-spirited and committed to women's equality - not someone who would easily consent to a marriage arranged by her family in India. So she eloped with a French artist, Paul Surtel. Her father was furious; her mother seems to have been more understanding. The couple married in 1921, and settled in the south of France. While Surtel gained distinction as a painter, his wife largely retreated from public view. They had two children, one of whom died in infancy, but by the mid-1930s the marriage was over. \"Nothing is more wearing morally,\" Dorothy commented, \"than a weak husband.\" Her family pleaded with her to return to India. Once again she refused - a decision she seems later to have regretted. Her father eventually bought her a small vineyard at Gonferon in Provence to serve as both home and livelihood. Money was tight. This was not the life of ease she might have hoped for. She never remarried. Sheela Bonarjee followed in her aunt's footsteps from India to London in the 1950s, and made several visits to the south of France. She remembers her \"Auntie Dorf\" as elegant, confident and unconventional. In some ways she was very French, Sheela recalls. \"She had wine with every meal, which for me as an Indian was very strange and at times I wondered why I was so sleepy all day.\" But she spoke French with a pronounced accent. Dorothy Bonarjee kept in touch with her Welsh friends all her life. In her old age, she paid a pilgrimage to her old university. \"I went with her to Aberystwyth - that must have been in her 80s,\" Sheela Bonarjee recalls of a trip more than 40 years ago. \"It was an important visit for her - to have her memories.\" She now has the distinction of a place in the Dictionary of Welsh Biography, the only person of Indian origin among almost 5,000 entries. It's written by Dr Beth Jenkins of the University of Essex. \"Dorothy certainly embraced Welsh national culture,\" she argues, \"and contributed significantly to it during her time in Aberystwyth.\" Dorothy lived to almost 90. But she never set foot in India again after leaving as a young girl. The Indian side of her remained important, though. On high days and holidays she would delight her French neighbours by dressing up in a sari. But she was in many ways more French, more English, perhaps even more Welsh, than she was Indian. And everywhere, she was always the outsider.

The council confirmed an investigation had begun and Mr Parker was suspended. The Liberal Democrat leader said she \"totally supports\" Mr Parker's actions. In the confidential email, which has been leaked to the BBC, Mr Parker expressed \"serious doubts about the value for money and deliverability of the contract\" with Mouchel, the company that has taken over four of the Conservative-led authority's departments. 'Upstanding, loyal servant' He also questioned whether the deal allows the council to impose financial penalties for breach of contract, should Mouchel fail to deliver. Mr Parker was escorted from Bournemouth Town Hall by his union representative on 12 October and suspended on full pay while an investigation is carried out, the council said. Councillor Carol Ainge, leader of Bournemouth's Liberal Democrats, said: \"I fully support the actions of Stephen Parker who in my opinion was only raising his concerns. \"His report was vital and should have been considered in conjunction with the report to cabinet. \"Stephen Parker is a conscientious loyal hard working officer whom I believe has only ever had the reputation of the council at heart.\" Councillor Roger West, deputy leader of the Liberal Democrats, added: \"It's appalling - this man told the truth, then he was marched out of the town hall. He's been suspended but no one knows why. \"He should be treated with a great deal of respect - not just as a whistleblower but also an upstanding, loyal servant to the council.\" David Higgins, from Unison, said: \"Mr Parker had concerns and he wanted to make sure all of the councillors took into account all of the relevant information before making their decision so he should be treated as a whistleblower. \"A lot of the staff were in tears and applauded as he left the building.\" A council spokesman said: \"We will not comment on any ongoing investigation. It would be inappropriate to do so.\" The council has declined to state what allegations against Mr Parker are being investigated.

            "input": "Trudy Harrison won with 13,748 votes to 11,601 for Labour's Gillian Troughton. Mrs Harrison hailed the victory in the Cumbrian seat - the first by-election gain by a governing party since 1982 - as \"a truly historic event\". Labour's Gareth Snell held Stoke-on-Trent Central with 7,853 votes, seeing off a challenge from UKIP leader Paul Nuttall who got 5,233. Labour had held both seats since their creation but was forced to defend them when two former frontbenchers, Tristram Hunt and Jamie Reed, resigned as MPs. Copeland, created in 1983, and its predecessor constituency Whitehaven have returned Labour MPs since 1935. Mrs Harrison, who had been joined by Prime Minister Theresa May on the campaign trail, got 44.3% of the vote, increasing the Conservatives' vote share by more than 8%. She overturned a Labour majority of more than 2,564 to take the seat by 2,147 votes - a swing of more than 6%. Professor John Curtice, of Strathclyde University, said the Copeland result was the best by-election performance by a governing party in terms of the increase in its share of the vote since January 1966. In her victory speech, Mrs Harrison said: \"It's been very clear talking to people throughout this campaign that [Labour leader] Jeremy Corbyn doesn't represent them. Analysis: May strengthened, anguish for Labour By Norman Smith, assistant political editor Theresa May this morning finds her grip on British politics hugely strengthened. For a governing party after seven years of austerity to be sweeping aside Labour in a heartland seat and to see their share of the vote increase in another is an extraordinary achievement. It will be taken by her supporters as a vindication of her hard-edged drive towards Brexit and her break with the more metropolitan politics of David Cameron. As for Labour, relief that it has at least repulsed the perceived threat of UKIP but its slow painful anguish under Jeremy Corbyn seems set to continue. In normal times, both by-elections should have raised barely a flicker of concern and while the slide in support may not ignite a further leadership challenge, the convictions of Mr Corbyn's critics that he is leading the party into the wilderness will only have been strengthened. \"They want a party which is on the side of ordinary working people, which will respect the way we voted in the referendum and which will build a country which represents everyone. That's why they voted for me tonight.\" Mr Corbyn said Labour's \"message was not enough to win through in Copeland\" but hailed victory in Stoke as a \"decisive rejection of UKIP's politics of division and dishonesty\". He added: \"Labour will go further to reconnect with voters and break with the failed political consensus.\" But Labour MP John Woodcock, a critic of the leader, said as things stood the party was on course for a \"historic and catastrophic defeat\" at the next general election. In Stoke-on-Trent, UKIP had hoped to capitalise on voters' leanings towards Brexit - the area voted strongly to leave the EU in June. Both the Labour and UKIP candidates had tough moments during their campaigns, with Mr Snell apologising over old social media posts about women appearing on television and Mr Nuttall facing a backlash over false claims he lost close friends in the Hillsborough tragedy. But in his victory speech, the new Labour MP Gareth Snell said voters had \"chosen the politics of hope over the politics of fear\". \"This city will not allow ourselves to be defined by last year's referendum and we will not allow ourselves to be divided by the result,\" he said. He said the result was \"a victory for the whole Labour Party and Labour movement\". However Labour's share of the vote was 37% - slightly down on the 39.3% it got in 2015. UKIP got 24.7% of the vote and the Conservatives, who came a close third, 24.4% - both slightly higher than their 2015 vote shares. Analysis: UKIP's missed chance By BBC political correspondent Chris Mason in Stoke The questions facing Labour in Copeland are tumbling UKIP's way here in Stoke. A party whose very success in achieving the thing they were set up to achieve, Brexit, brought with it a blunt question - what is the point of them now? The answer sounded like this: winning traditionally Labour seats from Labour. And yet here in Stoke-on-Trent, a hubbub of Brexiteer jubilation after the referendum, they failed. UKIP insists this seat was always well down their target list. But on a night where Labour was sufficiently vulnerable to lose a previously rock-solid seat in Cumbria, UKIP's still the bridesmaid not the bride in the Potteries. All of which begs two questions: If not here, where? If not now, when? Speaking to journalists after the result, UKIP leader Mr Nuttall said his party's \"time would come\". \"There's a lot more to come from us,\" he said. We are not going anywhere, I'm not going anywhere.\" UKIP chairman Paul Oakden said: \"The whole narrative of Paul's leadership depends on winning in Stoke is a nonsense.\" Labour MP Jack Dromey, who ran Mr Snell's campaign, said: \"I think as we win we need necessary humility because there is a view that Labour is no longer listening in the way it should do. \"I think what we have done in this community is precisely to do that. \"Are we yet a credible alternative government? No we're not. But tonight is a decisive moment.\" The by-election results mean the government's majority is now 12 - the same as it was immediately after the general election, as the Conservative's new Copeland seat makes up for the one they lost to the Lib Dems in the Richmond Park by-election. The working majority is 16.",

            "input": "By Katy WatsonBBC Latin America correspondent, São Paulo \"We are going to return to the time where just a few people have a lot of money, and a lot of people have nothing,\" Lula supporter Gisele Veloso says. She was on the verge of tears as she stood outside the steelworkers' union in the early hours of Thursday morning. It was just after the Supreme Court ruled that Lula had to start serving his 12-year prison sentence for corruption and tensions were running high. Spectacular fall from grace For many, Lula still holds a special place. He was Brazil's first working-class president and helped lift millions out of poverty. He promised change in a country known for its gaping inequalities. But it has been a stunning fall from grace for a man who was once the most popular leader in Brazilian history. Convicted and jailed for corruption and money laundering, he now has a less flattering claim to fame as the country's most famous criminal. For millions, including those who had voted for him in the past, he turned out to be just as corrupt as the politicians who came before him. There are now plenty of people who are eager to see him locked up. Messy months ahead Even so, it's unlikely that this is the last we will hear of Lula. Leaders in the Workers' Party (PT) have already said he remains their candidate for October's elections. It is possible for Lula to campaign behind bars - for now. So the next few months will be messy and emotional. Parties have to put forward names of their preferred candidates by 15 August. The Electoral court then has until mid-September to analyse them. Because of what is known as the \"Clean Sheet\" law, which was introduced in 2010, anybody with a criminal conviction is banned from public office for eight years. At that point, Lula's nomination is expected to be thrown out. But that means for several months, we could have a convicted criminal attempting to be the country's next leader. This is Brazil and politics is nothing if not complicated - and at times unbelievable. An act of rejection For Thiago de Aragão, a partner at political consultancy Arko Advice, this is the end of an era - one that Lula's Workers' Party was warned about. \"They knew that this would happen,\" he says, adding that they have lined up possible candidates to replace him, including the former mayor of São Paulo, Fernando Haddad. \"From within the Workers' Party, breaking with Lula is not an option,\" he says, adding that Lula has in the past few years become bigger than the party he founded. \"Because of that, a candidate from the party that is not fully endorsed or linked to Lula does not stand a chance,\" he adds. They have a strategy and that, according to Mr de Aragão, is to keep pushing Lula as a candidate until the last moment. When the electoral court throws his candidacy out, that's when they'll put forward another candidate. \"They will make this an act of rejection,\" he says. \"The energy from that moment will then be transmitted to the candidate that will be chosen to run on Lula's behalf.\" From far-left to far-right Brazilian politics is increasingly polarised. Trailing behind leftist Lula in the presidential polls is far-right candidate Jair Bolsonaro. So could he become number one? Many experts doubt it. \"The existence of a candidate like Bolsonaro is a product of the existence of Lula,\" says Mr de Aragão. If that's the case, then it throws the elections wide open. There is a great deal of uncertainty as to the political future of this country. Ask a Brazilian who to vote for and many just shrug their shoulders - they have no idea. One thing is certain though, Lula's influence is here to stay. \"He will still be able to do politics even through his silence,\" says João Paulo Orsini Martinelli, a criminal lawyer in São Paulo. \"His existence will still be there and he's still a gravitational force within Brazilian politics. He's a player.\" Additional reporting by Anna Jean Kaiser",

But a UK Parliament spokesman said that \"prolonged exposure to the chimes would pose a serious risk to the hearing\" of those working on the project.

The bongs will sound for the final time at 12:00 BST on Monday 21 August before being disconnected to allow the clock and surrounding tower to be restored - a project that is expected to last until 2021. The UK Parliament spokesman said the Palace of Westminster had \"a duty of care to those on site\". Earlier, Brexit Secretary Mr Davis had said there was \"hardly a health and safety argument\" for silencing the bells. \"I think it's mad,\" he told LBC radio. \"I'd forgotten of course, I've been out of government for a lot of years, and I've forgotten how long it takes to get the approvals for this and the approvals for that. \"There's a sort of rude phrase which I will shorten to 'just get on with it'. \"When I was in business, it was my standard line, just get on, just do it, don't faff.\" The Telegraph reported on a \"backlash\" from other MPs and columnist Frances Wilson wrote: \"Silencing Big Ben is like stopping the heartbeat of our democracy.\" An article in the Daily Mail said: \"Not even Nazi bombs could silence the famous symbol of Britishness. \"But having marked the hour with almost unbroken service since 1859, the Great Bell's bongs will soon cease for four years - because of health and safety.\" TUC health and safety officer Hugh Robertson said: \"Protecting workers' hearing is far from 'health and safety gone mad.'\" He added: \"When all 14 tonnes of Big Ben bongs near you, you'll know it. \"At nearly 120 decibels, it's like putting your ear next to a police siren.\" Alongside conservation work to the Elizabeth Tower which houses the Great Bell, the Great Clock will be dismantled piece-by-piece and its four dials will be cleaned and repaired. A spokesman for Parliament said: \"Constant proximity and prolonged exposure to the chimes would pose a serious risk to the hearing of those working on the scaffolding or in the Tower. \"Whilst hearing protection provides a suitable short term solution to the 118 decibel chiming and striking of the bells, it is not acceptable for those working for long periods in the vicinity of Big Ben. \"In addition, it is vital for workers to be able to communicate with one another on site, or to raise an alarm should the necessity arise. This would not be possible were the bells to continue to sound throughout the works. \"Workers on the scaffolding could also be startled by the loud sudden noise, with consequences for their own safety and those of other people in and around the tower. The only way to ensure people's safety is to temporarily stop the bell.\" The Great Bell, which has sounded on the hour for 157 years, last fell silent in 2007 and before that, for major refurbishments between 1983 and 1985.

            "input": "Matthew, taken to Syria by his mother and stepfather, was 10 when he was filmed telling Mr Trump to prepare for a battle on US soil. Now 13, he has been living with his father for a year, after being flown home by the US military in 2018. \"It's happened and it's done. It's all behind me now,\" he told the BBC. \"I was so young I did not really understand any of it.\" Matthew has had counselling to help him deal with everything that happened to him and is coping well. His stepfather, Moussa Elhassani, died in a suspected drone attack in the summer of 2017, while his mother, Samantha Sally, was convicted earlier this month of financing terrorism and sentenced to six-and-a-half years in prison. It was in April 2015 when the seemingly ordinary American family crossed into IS territory from the Turkish border province of Sanliurfa. \"We ran across an area that was very dark. It was at night, there was a lot of random spots of barbed wire… There wasn't much going through my head except, 'I need to run,'\" Matthew said, speaking about his ordeal for the first time to the BBC's Panorama programme and to Frontline, a programme made by US public broadcaster PBS. In the city IS claimed as its capital, Raqqa, Matthew's stepfather, Elhassani, was sent for military training and became an IS sniper. Then eight years old, Matthew did his best to make sense of his new home. \"When we were first in Raqqa, we were in the city parts. It was pretty noisy, gunshots normally,\" he said. \"Once in a while a random explosion, like far away, though. So we didn't have too much to worry about.\" But in early 2017 his mother emailed her sister in the US with a desperate plea for money to help the family escape, attaching extremely disturbing videos of Matthew. In one, Elhassani forced Matthew to assemble a suicide belt. At his stepfather's instruction, Matthew role-played how he would welcome potential American rescuers, but then kill them by detonating the explosives. In another video, he was seen taking apart a loaded AK-47, challenged by his stepfather to do so in under a minute. As the US-led coalition intensified its airstrikes on Raqqa, a bomb hit a neighbouring house, which collapsed on to the family home, leaving Matthew to feel his way out through the rubble and dust. By August 2017, Raqqa was in ruins, but the Islamic State group was still predicting victory and it forced Matthew to deliver a message of defiance. It released a video of him, then aged 10, threatening the president of the United States. \"My message to Trump, the puppet of the Jews: Allah has promised us victory and he's promised you defeat,\" said Matthew, reciting lines he had been made to learn. \"This battle is not going to end in Raqqa or Mosul. It's going to end in your lands… So get ready, for the fighting has just begun.\" In his interview, Matthew said he was given no choice but to take part in the video, because of his stepfather's outbursts of anger. \"He was starting to lose it, like he was mentally unstable, very mentally unstable,\" he said. Shortly afterwards, Elhassani was killed in a suspected drone strike. \"I was happy 'cause I didn't like him, obviously,\" Matthew said. \"I don't think I should have been, because a person died, but I was. We were all crying out of joy.\" Matthew's mother, Samantha Sally, was then able to pay people smugglers to get herself and her four children out of IS territory, with Matthew hidden inside a barrel on the back of a truck as it passed through IS checkpoints. When they reached Kurdish-controlled territory, they were held in a detention camp, and it's there in the winter of 2017 that Panorama first started talking to Sally. She said she had been tricked by her husband into taking her family to Syria and that she had had no idea what he had been planning. Once in Raqqa, he had become violent towards her, she said. She admitted that they had bought two Yazidi teenage girls as slaves, and that her husband had regularly raped them. She continued to stick to the story that she had been tricked after the family's return to the US, while she was in jail awaiting trial. Although she had supported her husband \"in his stupid ventures\", she was not guilty of supporting him to join IS, she insisted. But the Panorama/Frontline investigation uncovered evidence that undermined this story. A member of the Elhassani family said that Moussa had become obsessed with IS in the months before the family left the US, and that he had seen him watching IS propaganda, including videos of executions, in the family home. A friend of Samantha Sally's also recalled a conversation with her in which she had said her husband had told her he'd been called to join \"the holy war\". And the Panorama/Frontline investigation discovered that Sally had made a series of trips to Hong Kong in the weeks before the family left the US, depositing at least $30,000 in cash and gold in safety deposit boxes. After almost 12 months behind bars, Sally changed her story and pleaded guilty to financing terrorism as part of a plea deal. Struggling to accept her guilt, she said, \"It was the only deal they could have offered with the T-word that didn't put the guidelines at a lifetime sentence.\" Prosecutors described as \"horrifying\" their discovery that Sally had helped film the videos of her son Matthew being forced to assemble a suicide belt and take apart an AK-47. They said it may never be known why she had helped her husband to join IS. Her defence argued that she had been coerced by her controlling husband. Speaking about how it felt to step back on to US soil, Matthew said: \"It's like being in tight clothes or tight socks and shoes all day and then just taking it off and just feeling nice and chilling in a hot bath. That's what it felt like. Like sweet relief. It felt good.\" Viewers in the UK can watch Return from ISIS: A Family's Story on Panorama, at 21:00 on BBC One on 23 November, or catch up later online.

            "input": "\"This place is more than half of my life,\" says Gennady Laptev. The broad-shouldered Ukrainian scientist is smiling wistfully as we stand on the now dry ground of what was Chernobyl nuclear power plant's cooling pond. \"I was only 25 when I started my work here as a liquidator. Now, I'm almost 60.\" There were thousands of liquidators - workers who came here as part of the mammoth, dangerous clean-up operation following the 1986 explosion. The worst nuclear accident in history. Gennady shows me a coffee table-sized platform, installed here to collect dust. This reservoir's bed dried out when the pumps taking water from the nearby river were finally switched off in 2014; 14 years after the remaining three reactors there were shut down. Analysing dust for radioactive contamination is just a small part of the decades-long study of this vast, abandoned area. The accident turned this landscape into a giant, contaminated laboratory, where hundreds of scientists have worked to find out how an environment recovers from nuclear catastrophe. The experiment that turned into a global catastrophe On 26 April, 1986, at 1:23AM, engineers cut power to some systems at Chernobyl nuclear power plant's number 4 reactor. It was a critical point in a test to understand what would happen during a blackout. What engineers did not know was that the reactor was already unstable. The cut-off slowed turbines that drove cooling water to the reactor. As less water turned to more steam, the pressure inside built. By the time operators realised what was happening and tried to shut down the reactor, it was too late. A steam explosion blew the lid off the reactor, exposing the core to the atmosphere. Two people in the plant were killed and, as air fuelled a fire that burned for 10 days, a cloud of radioactive smoke and dust was carried on the wind around Europe. BBC News Our World: In the Shadow of Chernobyl - Watch Victoria Gill's full report from the exclusion zone on Saturday and Sunday, 16 and 17 February, at 2130 GMT on the BBC News Channel, and afterwards on BBC iPlayer. The first emergency workers rushed in as lethal smoke billowed out. Of 134 who were diagnosed with acute radiation sickness, 28 died within months. At least 19 have died since. Gennady, an environmental scientist with the Ukrainian HydroMeteorological Institute, started work in the zone just three months after the evacuation. \"We used to fly in by helicopter every day from Kiev,\" he explains, \"to collect water and soil samples. \"The important thing then was to understand the extent of the contamination - to draw the first maps of the exclusion zone.\" Today, that zone spans Ukraine and Belarus. Covering more than 4,000 sq km - more than twice the size of London. Every community within a 30km radius of the plant was evacuated and abandoned; no-one was allowed to return here to live. In a forgotten, outer portion of the exclusion zone, people were quietly allowed to return home a few months after the disaster. Unlike the \"30km zone\", no checkpoints prevent entry to this semi-abandoned area. Narodichi, a town of more than 2,500 people, is within that more-distant zone. Strict rules govern this officially contaminated district; exclusion zone land must not be cultivated to produce food and it cannot be developed. Today, though, this part of Ukraine is not easily delineated into two categories - contaminated or clean. Research has shown that Chernobyl's aftermath is more complicated, and the landscape here much stranger - and more interesting - than the stringent \"do not touch\" rules in Narodichi would imply. Fear of radiation could actually be hurting the people of Narodichi far more than the radiation itself. 'We're getting less radiation here than on the plane' Over Gennady's shoulder, I can see the nuclear power plant - less than a kilometre away from the reservoir bed we're standing on. Gleaming in the sunshine is the huge protective steel \"New Safe Confinement\" that now entombs unit 4. It was slid over the top of the accident's epicentre in 2016. Beneath it, robotic cranes are dismantling 33-year-old, radioactive wreckage. Prof Jim Smith from the UK's University of Portsmouth, a colleague of Gennady's, is a scientist who has studied the aftermath of the disaster since 1990. Here on one of his numerous research trips to the zone, he shows me a dosimeter - a black plastic phone-sized gadget he carries throughout the visit. It measures the external dose of radiation he is getting from the environment. Atoms of the nuclear fuel dust that were scattered here by the 1986 explosion are spontaneously breaking down. They are giving out high-energy rays as they do so, and Jim's dosimeter is detecting the dose of those that we are receiving every hour. The readings are in units (called microsieverts) that only make sense to me in the context of other relatively \"radioactive activities\". At one point in the middle of the flight to Kiev - for example - his dosimeter read 1.8 microsieverts per hour. \"It's currently 0.6,\" Jim says. \"So that's about [a third] of what we were getting on the flight.\" With the infamous power plant visible in the background, I'm incredulous. But, Jim explains, we live on a radioactive planet - natural radioactivity is all around us. \"It comes from the Sun's rays, from the food we eat, from the Earth,\" he says. That is why, up at 12,000m on an airliner, with less shielding from Earth's atmosphere, we receive a higher dose. \"Yes, the exclusion zone is contaminated,\" he tells me, \"but if we would put it on a map of radiation dose worldwide - only the small 'hotspots' would stand out. \"Natural radioactivity is all around us - it varies from country to country, from place to place. Most of the area of the exclusion zone gives rise to lower radiation dose rates than many areas of natural radioactivity worldwide.\" 'You don't want to be in the hotspots for long' While the boundary of the exclusion zone has not changed, the landscape has - almost beyond recognition. Where people were forced out, nature has moved in. Wilderness combined with abandoned buildings, farms and villages gives a sense of the post-apocalyptic. Jim and his colleagues spend their days here collecting samples and planting cameras and audio recorders, which silently gather information about what wildlife inhabits this post-human place, and how the radiation affects it. On the second day of our trip to the zone, I follow the team into the Red Forest. This is an exclusion zone hotspot that, because of the direction of the winds in 1986, took the brunt of the shower of radioactive material. We put on dust suits to avoid contaminating our clothing. In the forest, Jim's dosimeter reads 35 - almost 60 times the external dose we were getting in the cooling pond. \"We don't want to be here for too long,\" says Jim. He and the team gather their soil samples swiftly, take some photographs and head back to the car. 'The horses are adapting to the zone' In the abandoned village of Burayakovka - just over 10km from the power plant - it is a very different approach. Jim and the team take their time exploring the area. The dosimeter reads 1.0 - still less than on the flight. Inside one small, crumbling but still colourful wooden house, the sad truth of what people so suddenly lost here is apparent. A coat still slung over the arm of a chair is now covered in three decades of dust. But what people left behind - through farming and gardening - has turned into a strangely rich habitat and provisions for wild animals. Long-term studies have shown that there is more wildlife in the abandoned villages than anywhere else in the zone. Brown bears, lynx and wild boar are seen roaming here. Dr Maryna Shkvyria, a researcher based at Kiev Zoo, has spent years tracking and studying the larger mammals that moved in when people moved out. There are studies suggesting that birds in the most contaminated areas show signs of damage to their DNA, but Maryna's work is adding to a catalogue of research that suggests wildlife is thriving throughout much of the exclusion zone. Chernobyl's wolves, she says, are a particularly striking example. \"After 15 years of studying them, we have a lot of information about their behaviour,\" Maryna explains. \"And the Chernobyl wolf is one of the most natural wolves in Ukraine.\" By \"natural\", she means there is very little \"human food\" in the wolves' diet. \"Usually, wolves are around settlements,\" Maryna explains. \"They can eat livestock, crops and waste food - even pets.\" But not here where wolves hunt wild prey. Chernobyl's wolves feed on deer and even catch fish. Some images - caught by camera traps - reveal gentler dietary habits. Wolves have been snapped eating fruit from around trees that used to be in people's orchards. There is one group of animals that has made the zone its home and that - strictly speaking- should not really be here. In 1998, Ukrainian zoologists released a herd of 30 endangered Przewalski's horses in the zone. The apparent aim was for the horses to graze overgrowth and reduce the risk of wildfire. There are now about 60 of them - in herds dispersed across Ukraine and Belarus. They are native to the open plains of Mongolia, so forests peppered with abandoned buildings should not be ideal habitat. \"But they're really using the forests,\" explains Maryna. \"We even put camera traps in old barns and buildings and they're using them to [shelter] from mosquitoes and heat. \"They even lay down and sleep inside - they're adapting to the zone.\" 'You can have the cherry vodka; I made it' Wildlife might be making the most of what's gradually become a post-human nature reserve, but not every village was left for animals to claim. Some people still live here - deep in the 30km zone. On my fourth day here, we visit Maria's house. She is outside in her garden when we arrive at the gate, and - as I try to introduce myself in a few stumbling words of Ukrainian - she interrupts me by wrapping me in a warm hug and kissing me on the cheek. Today is her 78th birthday. She is expecting us and has prepared a celebratory breakfast. Maria ushers me, Jim, his colleague Mike, and our interpreter Denis to a wooden table under a fruit tree. It is a gloriously sunny day and pleasantly warm even at 9am. Maria starts to bring food - fatty salted bacon, a whole fish, sliced sausage and steaming hot, home-grown potatoes. There are two bottles of what appear to be spirits - one colourless, one dark red. \"If you don't like this vodka, you can have the cherry one - I made it,\" she says. Maria and her neighbours make up a tiny community of just 15. Each of these self-settlers, as they are known, travelled back across a patchily enforced exclusion zone boundary and reclaimed their homes in 1986. Almost every family forced to leave here was given an apartment in a nearby town or city. For Maria and her mother, though, this cottage, with the garden wrapped around it, was home. They refused to abandon it. \"We weren't allowed to come back, but I followed my mum,\" Maria recalls. \"She was 88 back then. She kept saying: 'I will go, I will go'. I just followed her.\" There are about 200 self-settlers in total living in the zone and, for an ageing population cut off from the rest of the country, Maria says life is not easy. \"We're all very old,\" she tells me. \"And we take each day as it comes. \"I feel full of life when my children come to visit me from Kiev. Otherwise, it's not so interesting to live here. But you know this is our land - our motherland. It's irreplaceable.\" Maria's mobile phone rings and I am struck by the incongruity of our diminutive babushka hostess, standing in her exclusion zone garden, apparently trying to wrap up swiftly a call from her daughter. She is busy with her visitors from the BBC! Remote as it is, this is a close community. As we sit in the garden (knocking back cherry vodka at our Maria's repeated insistence) her neighbour arrives with a birthday gift. She sits on the bench near the garden gate; she can't walk too far. The self-settlers are a tiny minority, though. Most people who so suddenly lost their homes here have no hope of coming back. Most of them lived in Pripyat - a true Soviet dream town, purpose-built for the power plant workers. Just a few kilometres from the plant itself, this town of 50,000 people was emptied overnight. No-one was allowed to return; it is now the archetype of a 20th Century ghost city. Pripyat was, however, recently deemed safe to visit for short periods and has now become one of Ukraine's most talked about tourist attractions. An estimated 60,000 people visited the exclusion zone last year, keen to witness the dramatic decay. Its bleak notoriety has made it the subject of some dark, social media-based showing-off. Search #chernobyl on Instagram and you will find - among the interesting landscapes and tourist snaps - images of anonymous, costumed characters, sometimes wearing gas masks or holding up creepy-looking dolls for the camera. 'Tell people Chernobyl is not such a horrible place' The town of Chernobyl itself - somewhat confusingly much further from the power plant than Pripyat - is in a less contaminated area. It has become a relatively populous hub. Power plant decommissioning staff, scientists and tourists stay here. Gennady, Jim, me and the rest of the research team are staying in one of its small hotels - a Soviet-style building with an incongruously pretty, well-tended garden around it. This greenery is looked after by Irina, who manages the hotel. She stays here for three months at a time before a colleague takes over. People are only permitted to live in the town for limited periods. Over a cup of tea on our second evening at the hotel, Gennady translates as Irina tells us about her memories of the accident. She lived in Pripyat at the time with her grandmother. On 27 April - a day after the explosion - the town was evacuated. People were ordered to leave immediately. They lined up for buses that would take them away from the town and the plant. Irina was on her way back to her grandmother's apartment at the time. \"A friend of my grandmother's was driving a cattle wagon - taking his livestock out,\" she recalled. \"My grandmother asked if he would take me with him, so I climbed on to the cattle wagon. \"I didn't know what was happening.\" But Irina, not unlike Maria, felt a need to return to the zone. She has never been back to Pripyat, though; it would upset her too much to see it now. But she takes pride in tending the flowers around her Chernobyl hotel. \"I like to make it as pretty as possible for the visitors,\" she tells me. \"So maybe you can tell people back home that Chernobyl is not such a horrible place.\" 'We have forgotten that we are Chernobyl people' Gennady's 33 years working in the exclusion zone might have been leading up to one meeting at the end of this week. It is being held in a school in Narodichi, the town in the outer zone. Here, scientists, community members, medical experts and officials from the state agency that manages the exclusion zone are gathering to discuss a change that could transform this district's future. For the first time since the boundary was drawn, the zone is set to change. Three decades of research have concluded that much of it is safe - for food to be grown and for the land to be developed. Narodichi is one of its least contaminated places. Jim and Gennady are presenting their conclusions at the meeting. Before it is under way, I have arranged to visit the town's kindergarten, where the children are playing outside in the sunshine. A rainbow-painted picket fence at the edge of their playground contrasts almost ludicrously with grey, half-built tower blocks next door. There were 360 children here before the accident. Tatiana Kravchenko, a woman with a perpetual kind smile and who is wearing a thick, bright pink coat, is the kindergarten manager. She remembers the evacuation. \"The children were evacuated together with teachers to 'clean zones',\" she recalls. \"In three months we were sent back, and we had only 25 children. Eventually, people have come back, new children have been born and gradually the kindergarten started filling up again. Now we have 130 children here.\" Most of the time, Tatiana says, she does not think of her community as being within the exclusion zone. \"We forget that we are Chernobyl people; we have other issues to deal with,\" she tells me. \"It's no secret that half of the parents [of these kids] are unemployed, because there is nowhere to work. I wish that we could build something here - that our community could start to bloom.\" 'Maybe it's time to redraw the map' Back in the meeting, Gennady peers over red-rimmed glasses, attentively listening to what is being said. Discussions are taking longer than expected. Much of the community input seems to reflect Tatiana's thoughts - that it is time for restrictions to be lifted here. But there is a lot at stake. People affected by the accident receive financial compensation from the government. Here, in a town of high unemployment, in a country where the average wage is less than 400USD per month, that income is important. And many still fear Chernobyl radiation - and the effect that it might still have on their health, and the health of their children. After many years of research, understanding and explaining the long-term health legacy of the accident has been infuriatingly complicated. It is conclusive that around 5,000 cases of thyroid cancer - most of which were treated and cured - were caused by the contamination. Authorities failed to prevent contaminated milk from being sold in the region; many who were children at the time drank it receiving large doses of radioactive iodine. That was one of the contaminants blasted out of the reactor. Many suspect that the radiation has or will cause other cancers, but the evidence is patchy. Prof Richard Wakeford, from the University of Manchester's Centre for Occupational and Environmental Health, points out that health studies look for a \"signal\" of a specific health effect linked to Chernobyl. They aim to pick out that signal above the \"background noise\" from other causes. That has been incredibly difficult, primarily because of the huge background noise that was the almost simultaneous upheaval of the Soviet Union's collapse. \"It's assumed that there will be some cancers linked to the accident in addition to the thyroid cancers, but detecting them amid that socioeconomic chaos - that had its own impacts on people's health - has proven almost impossible,\" says Prof Wakeford. Cancer also affects between a third and a half of people in Europe, so any Chernobyl signal is likely to be small. Amid reports of other health problems - including birth defects - it still is not clear if any can be attributed to radiation. Prof Geraldine Thomas from Imperial College London explains: \"Another confounding factor in this part of the world relates, confusingly, to iodine deficiency.\" In its non-radioactive form, iodine is found in milk, green leafy vegetables and seaweed. A lack of it in the diet is a known cause of problems in the early development of the brain and spinal cord. \"So one possible cause of birth defects is actually a lack of iodine in the environment,\" the prof says. All of this means that estimates of cancer cases remain highly contentious. In its seminal 2006 report on the the long-term consequences of the accident, the World Health Organization did conclude that many people's mental health has been damaged - by fear of radiation and severe disruption to their lives. As a scientist who has spent years scrutinising the truth about the contamination in the zone, Gennady admits that he did not expect the people of Narodichi to be afraid of radiation. \"It's a very big factor affecting their lives, even more than 30 years after the accident. This is really something that surprised me,\" he says. That fear can be physically as well as mentally damaging. A sense of fatalism and hopelessness associated with assumptions of being doomed by radiation is thought to contribute to higher rates of of smoking and alcoholism in this region - both of which are definitively bad for people's health. \"It was a terrible thing that happened here,\" says Jim. \"But that tends to dominate people's lives. \"Somehow - and it's very, very difficult - we've got to move towards a situation where people can go back to living their lives without this fear, this radiation blight.\" We're not going anywhere Gennady emerges from the meeting looking a little jaded, but he says he is cautiously optimistic. The map was not officially redrawn today, but, crucially, most people in the room agreed there was a need for change. \"The community wants to bring more life here,\" Gennady says. \"And we, as scientists, know that a lot of places here can be easily excluded from this ban, so I think this was a very positive moment.\" At the kindergarten, Tatiana has ushered the younger children inside for an afternoon nap. There are rows of adorably tiny beds inside a new wing of the kindergarten that was built with money from a Japanese charity. The close relationship between Japan and Ukraine has been forged by the former being in the early stages of understanding the impact of its own nuclear disaster - at the Fukushima power plant. Looking from the pristine new kindergarten building to the neighbouring derelict block, she says she would support the town's removal from the zone. \"These houses could be reconstructed and filled with people. We dream about that. \"We live here. We are not going to leave for anywhere else. Our children live here.\" By BBC Science Correspondent Victoria Gill. Photographs by Jemma Cox.

I really love it.\" The bench incorporates the images of the band's four original members. The heavy metal band was formed 51 years ago in Birmingham by Iommi, singer Ozzy Osbourne, bassist Geezer Butler and drummer Bill Ward. The bench was forged in the city and is inscribed \"Geezer. Ozzy. Tony. Bill. Made in Birmingham 1968'. Fans applied for 350 tickets to see the presentation. Paying tribute to them, Iommi said: \"These are our fans and some of them have come from all over the world and it's just brilliant to see that.\" The presentation took place at St Luke's Church on Gas Street. The event also saw Bill Ward awarded a star on the city's Walk of Stars. Mike Olley, manager of Westside Business Improvement District said the bench honoured \"what's arguably Birmingham's most famous band\". Comedian Jasper Carrott, who is chair of the city's Walk of Stars project, said he expected it to become known as the \"heavy metal bench\". Mr Osama, 35, said he was \"thrilled\" to see his plan to commemorate the band become a reality. He became a fan of the band at age eight and has watched them around the world more than 50 times.

            "input": "Lyse DoucetChief international correspondent@bbclysedouceton Twitter In a little room tucked behind a Kabul cinema bedecked with Bollywood billboards, Afghan women are waging a literary war that is both personal and political. They call poetry their sword. \"We take pure and sacred words and express our feelings with those words,\" explains 29-year-old Pakisa Arzoo, with an energy as bright as her striking emerald green veil. \"But I know my society has this belief that writing poetry is a sin.\" A few dozen women writers meet every week to share poetry in a quiet place sealed off from the din of a bustling neighbourhood, and the pressures of a deeply conservative society. Amil recites her poem with an emphatic cadence that captures everyone's attention. It is a story they all know well. \"The fire of war has started and is burning the country / My heart is burning in these flames, my body is burning.\" The Mirman Baheer literary society brings women together to share and publish their poems, and find strength in greater numbers. It now counts a few hundred members in clubs in several Afghan cities. \"It's our form of resistance,\" explains one of the society's founders, Sahira Sharif, a member of parliament. Afghan women are drawing on their own traditions to break taboos. For centuries, in a largely illiterate society, women used verse as a means of expression and escape from lives largely controlled by men, except for their deepest thoughts. Brave risks Women poets have gone down in history. The warrior poet Malalai - who famously fought British troops in the 1880 Battle of Maiwand - and Rabia Balkhi - one of the first poets to write in modern Persian - are the stuff of legend. Most members of the society in Kabul are educated women in professional jobs. But most still write under pen names. Some are chaperoned by male relatives who sit in neat rows of chairs on the other side of the room. Others write in secret, their work hidden from their families. Determined and defiant, they take brave risks to belong to this special sorority, if only by telephone. When a phone rings at the back of the room, Pakisa Arzoo rushes to take the call. A schoolgirl is on the line with her poem from a village on the outskirts of Kabul. Ms Arzoo carefully holds the mobile phone next to a crackling microphone so everyone can hear her tribute to her teacher. \"As I am serving today, I have become a doctor / Teacher, if I am an engineer today / It is all because of your hard work / That today I have become a soldier of this nation / I can feel all the pain and suffering you have been through…\" \"When we recite our poems, we remove our pain,\" says Seeta Habibi, Country Director for the Afghan Women's Writing Project, a group established with the help of writers living in the United States. \"We talk to the paper with our pen and we fight for our rights on paper,\" she explains. \"Someday we hope we will win.\" Threats from the Taliban in the west of Afghanistan forced Ms Habibi, the only female journalist in her province, to leave her home. Karima Shabrang faced a similar fate in her village in the remote northern province of Badakhshan. Local elders condemned her as a bad moral influence for her romantic laments of love and loss. \"They said I should be got rid of. They meant I should be killed,\" she recalls in the simple mud brick home in the poor suburbs of Kabul where she now lives with two brothers who came to her rescue. Unspoken subjects She recites a poem with mementoes of Badakhshan around her: a striped rug of bright colours; a quail, issuing its staccato call from its cage. But her explicit images of intimacy seem to belong to another place. \"I miss you… my hands are stretching from the ruins of Kabul… I want to invite you to my room for a delicious smoke… and you will give me refuge in your shivering red body.\" Is poetry worth a life in exile? \"I would prefer a dignified death to a life lived as a hostage in silence,\" is Ms Shabrang's softly voiced, strongly worded reply. Her work was recently honoured with an award by the Afghan chapter of PEN. \"It's true these topics are not acceptable in today's society but that doesn't mean what I express is not true.\" 'Stronger than a letter' Truth can be hard to tell in country struggling to emerge from 30 years of war. The walls of the Kapisa Writers and Poets Society, two hours' drive north of Kabul, are plastered with photographs of Afghan kings, presidents, and warlords.

The suntanned IMF chief wore a black trench coat and an open-necked pale shirt, in contrast to the jeans and sweatshirts of the others waiting to be brought before the judge. Charges of crack cocaine dealing, stealing, and violence were heard, bail applications of between $500 (£309) and $2,000 were granted, and then it was the turn of Mr Strauss-Kahn, head of an institution that lends to countries in crisis. He faces charges of sexually assaulting and attempting to rape a maid at a Manhattan hotel, to which his lawyers pleaded not guilty on his behalf. Mr Strauss-Kahn, known widely as DSK, posed unsmilingly for the official court photographer, as the reporters crowded into the packed room scribbled down every detail of his appearance. Public stage At one point before proceedings started, this member of the global financial elite was taken out of the court, and as the door opened we saw a glimpse of the holding cells behind. This is not a public stage the IMF chief usually occupies. The only similarity between this and DSK's normal life of summits and high level meetings was the camera allowed into the courtroom to witness the arraignment. The IMF chief was impassive as he heard the prosecution say the victim had provided a detailed account of her claims, and that an examination at the hospital had confirmed her story. He listened intently as prosecutors suggested he might have engaged in similar behaviour once before. Mr Strauss-Kahn also heard the prosecution argue that the manner in which he tried to leave the country on Saturday by plane proved he was in a hurry to get out, and therefore should be remanded in custody and not granted bail. His defence team insisted he was on the plane because of his pre-planned schedule, not because he was trying to flee. Mr Strauss-Kahn would post $1m in bail, said his lawyers, and he was not a flight risk because he wanted to clear his name. But Judge Melissa Jackson was concerned enough to deny him bail and remand him in custody at least until his next court appearance on 20 May. Possible alibi Afterwards DSK's lawyers pronounced themselves disappointed by the bail ruling, and vowed that the battle against the charges of attempted rape and sexual assault had only begun. Mr Strauss-Kahn, who was due to be present at key meetings on Europe's debt crisis this week, will spend the time in police custody, starting the fight to clear his name. One clue emerged in court as to what may be the alibi the defence is trying to establish for DSK. The person he lunched with on Saturday will confirm he was not trying to flee, his lawyers said. Could this be Mr Strauss-Kahn's daughter, who lives in New York? We will learn more in the coming weeks.",

            "input": "By David DeansBBC News The former UKIP leader in Cardiff Bay was said to be unsuitable for the assembly commission because he failed to back a policy on harassment. Mr Hamilton called the decision to reject him a \"great mistake\". He said UKIP would simply renominate him again if he is blocked again. Mr Hamilton was nominated for the commissioner role by UKIP after he lost the leadership of its group to Caroline Jones in May. The AM for Mid and West Wales and the former Tatton Conservative MP is also challenging Ms Jones again for the leadership through a ballot of members. Last week 31 AMs - mostly from Labour and Plaid Cymru - voted against the UKIP nomination for the commission. Mr Hamilton's decision to abstain in an earlier vote on a harassment policy for the assembly had motivated the objections. The proposal to resubmit Mr Hamilton risks a repeat of that vote, and some of the AMs who voted against the move last week told BBC Wales they could see the same happening again. Speaking to BBC Wales after he announced he would be standing, he said: \"The UKIP group decided [on Monday] that my name would be resubmitted to the assembly.\" \"This is a UKIP place [on the commission] - we're not prepared to allow the Labour Party and Plaid Cymru to determine who the UKIP representative is,\" he said. \"Otherwise all small parties could be a in position where the Labour Party could decide who their representative is. \"Is Plaid Cymru really wanting to put itself in that position, that Tories, UKIP and Labour could combine to choose somebody else in Plaid Cymru other than Adam Price to be a commissioner?\" He said it was a \"great mistake to politicise this\". The post has \"never been opposed on party political terms in the past\", he said. \"I think its a backward step for the assembly. A commissioner is effectively a trustee for the assembly - its a non-political post.\" Mr Hamilton said if it was rejected UKIP would \"resubmit it and just keep on resubmitting it\". It is understood, however, that it would be up to the group to decide if he was resubmitted if the attempt failed again. The decision to vote down Mr Hamilton's nomination left the assembly commission - a body which all party groups in the Senedd are meant to have a member - without a UKIP representative. Ms Jones had fulfilled the role before she became group leader. Hefin David, Labour AM for Caerphilly, said Mr Hamilton did not have the confidence of the assembly as a potential commissioner. \"Unless that changes after a vote, he cannot take up that role,\" he said. Dawn Bowden, Merthyr Tydfil Labour AM, said: \"This is a view supported by most Labour AMs. \"It was not about blocking a UKIP AM, it was about not giving support to an AM who did not have the trust and confidence of the assembly.\" Assembly commissioners earn more than ordinary backbenchers. If Mr Hamilton is eventually successful in his bid, he will gain an extra £13,578 on top of his £66,847 basic backbench AMs' salary, bringing his total pay to £80,425. He had earned £85,000 a year as group leader until he was replaced by Caroline Jones. Mr Hamilton's re-nomination would need to be submitted to the assembly's business committee, before any vote takes place.",

He also said journalists and political researchers faced an \"additional layer of clearance\" that should end. The government welcomed the report which it said highlighted \"significant improvements\" in its FoI service. MSPs have previously called for a \"wholescale review\" of the Scottish government's freedom of information policy. Journalists from across the media have also signed an open letter raising concerns about the way FoI requests are handled. 'Policies not clear enough' The government has now been given three months to draft an action plan to improve its practices. The commissioner's report criticised the practice of referring FoI requests for clearance by ministers simply because they come from journalists, MSPs and researchers. Mr Fitzhenry said this was inconsistent with the principle that, \"in most cases, it should not matter who asks for information\". His report also found: The commissioner has made seven recommendations for further specific improvements. The areas highlighted are clearance procedures, quality assurance of FoI responses, training, case handling and case records management, monitoring FoI requests and review procedures. The Scottish government said it was \"happy to accept his recommendations in full to support our continued improvement\". Minister for Parliamentary Business Joe Fitzpatrick said: \"In the first five months of 2018, we responded to 93% of FoI requests on time, exceeding the 90% target set by the Information Commissioner and a 10% increase on last year. \"Outside the FoI process, last year the Scottish government responded to over 5,000 queries from journalists in a matter of hours.\" 'Secretive and biased' He added that ministers were determined to \"further enhance our position as an open government\". However, the Conservatives said the report blasted the \"secretive and biased response to legally-binding Freedom of Information requests\". Scottish Conservative MSP Adam Tomkins said: \"This is a remarkable report which exposes Nicola Sturgeon's secret Scotland. \"People will see this report and conclude the SNP government is trying to stop bad news happening, and its woeful performance being publicised, by meddling in this process.\" The Scottish Liberal Democrats said the commissioner's findings were \"a stinging rebuke and the culmination of a decade of bad practice\". Information 'suppressed' Lib Dem MSP Tavish Scott said: \"The SNP have politicised information which people have a right to receive. \"They have been found out and now rebuked. Nothing less than an apology for their behaviour will be acceptable.\" Scottish Labour said the SNP government had \"bent the law to bury bad news\". The party's parliamentary business manager, Rhoda Grant, said: \"Not only was the clearance process (for journalists and MSPs' staff) different, but there is clear evidence that information was suppressed in answer to these journalists' requests. \"What is it exactly that Nicola Sturgeon and her ministers are trying to hide from the people of Scotland?\" Scottish Green MSP Andy Wightman said it was a \"damning report\" which \"vindicates the complaints of many journalists and researchers that Scottish ministers are slow and inconsistent in how they release information that the public are entitled to.\"",

Microsoft said Windows Live Messenger (WLM) would be turned off by March 2013 worldwide, with the exception of China. It reflects the firm's determination to focus its efforts on Skype. WLM launched in 1999 when it was known as MSN Messenger. Over time, photo delivery, video calls and games were added to the package's text-based messages. In 2009, the firm said it had 330 million active users. Chat 'cannibalisation' According to internet analysis firm Comscore, WLM still had more than double the number of Skype's instant messenger facility at the start of this year in the US, and was second only in popularity to Yahoo Messenger. But the report suggested WLM's US audience had fallen to 8.3 million unique users, representing a 48% drop year-on-year. By contrast, the number of people using Skype to instant message each other grew over the period. Microsoft highlighted the fact that WLM was still more popular than Yahoo's product in most other territories, but nevertheless decided to call time on the service. \"When a company has competing products that can result in cannibalisation it's often better to focus on a single one,\" said Brian Blau from the consultancy Gartner. \"Skype's top-up services offer the chance to monetise its users and Microsoft is also looking towards opportunities in the living room. \"Messenger doesn't seem like an appropriate communications platform for TVs or the firm's Xbox console - but Skype does.\" He also noted that the firm had opted to integrate Skype into its new Windows Phone 8 smartphone software, eclipsing the effort to integrate WLM into the message threads of the operating system' previous version. To ease the changeover, Microsoft is offering a tool to migrate WLM messenger contacts over. The risk is that the move encourages users to switch instead to rival platforms such as WhatsApp Messenger, AIM or Google Talk. But Microsoft is at least partially protected by its tie-up with Facebook last year. Skype video calls are now offered as an extra to the social network's own instant messaging tool.",

            "input": "By Chris PageBBC News Ireland correspondent How did a green energy scheme involving chicken sheds, biomass boilers and wood pellets become a huge financial scandal, which played a major role in bringing down a government? On Friday, a public inquiry will publish its report into the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) - otherwise known as the \"cash-for-ash\" scheme. It was set up by Stormont in 2012, and aimed to encourage businesses to switch from fossil fuels to more environmentally-friendly energy sources. It was similar to a scheme running in the rest of the UK - with a critical difference. A flaw in the design meant that in effect, the money paid out was greater than the cost of fuel. Also, there was initially no cap on payments. All that contributed to a massive projected overspend - at one stage estimated at £700m over 20 years. Stormont's Department of Enterprise, Trade and Investment was in charge of the scheme. It was run by ministers from the Democratic Unionist Party. The RHI controversy triggered the final row in the always uneasy power-sharing coalition made up of the DUP and Sinn Féin - which collapsed in January 2017. The devolved government returned three years later - with the Alliance Party, the Ulster Unionist Party and the SDLP also joining the ministerial executive. The public inquiry showed that the RHI debacle went further than party politics. It raised questions about the entire system of government - including the role of the civil service, the use of external consultants in formulating policy and the relationship between ministers and their special advisors (Spads). One of the key witnesses in the inquiry was Janette O'Hagan - who runs an energy efficiency firm, Heatboss. She raised concerns with Stormont about the tariff arrangements for RHI in the early years of the scheme - but they were not acted upon. Ms O'Hagan has spoken to the BBC Radio Four programme \"The Cash-for-Ash Scandal\" in her first interview since she gave evidence to the inquiry. \"I would never have dreamed, when I was sending off those emails in frustration, that it would have come to all this,\" she said. 'Better protection for citizens' She told me that although \"it hasn't been an easy time\", her course of action was the right thing to do. \"I'm glad we're not wasting energy needlessly any more. \"I'd like to see better protections for citizens like me who raised legitimate concerns - to make sure they're not treated as political pawns.\" She hopes the inquiry report will draw a line under the saga. \"Now it's time for a change of focus - we really need to focus on the environment, getting a good energy policy in place. It's a great opportunity to do so,\" she added. Before the Stormont Assembly closed its doors for more than 1,000 days, it passed measures to cut the bill for RHI. But it was subsequent changes in 2017 and 2019 by civil servants that really had an impact. The retrospective cost controls mean that the scheme is currently underspending, rather than running hugely over budget. But the debacle still left Stormont with a £30m bill. Many RHI claimants say this put them on a crumbling financial cliff-edge. Such is the concern they have about ruined reputations, it is rare for people who entered into the project to speak publicly. 'Show the truth' We interviewed a chicken farmer who wanted to stay anonymous because, as he put it, RHI is still thought of as a \"dirty scheme\" taken up by people who were \"on the make\". He pointed out that, like numerous others, he signed up for RHI in good faith - believing it would help the environment - and built it into his business plan for two decades. He now has a gap which is impossible to plug - and that has caused immense worry. \"I haven't had a good night's sleep in three years,\" he said. He said he hoped the inquiry report would simply \"show the truth\". \"The Department made serious errors when the scheme was set up,\" he said. \"The participants shouldn't be held responsible for it - I think we've been made the scapegoats.\" The inquiry held public hearings for more than a year and gathered more than a million documents in its search for evidence. Its findings will touch a range of areas - politics, officialdom and business for a start. Sir Patrick Coghlin's report will be a highly significant moment for Northern Ireland - potentially the most comprehensive analysis yet of how devolution works. No-one involved is expecting it to be a comfortable read. • You can listen to The Cash-For-Ash Scandal, produced by Yamal Productions, on BBC Radio Four at 20:00 GMT on Monday 9 March, 11:00 GMT on Tuesday 10 March, and afterwards on BBC Sounds.",

'Serious error' The report - a register of PCCs' interests - highlights the lack of scrutiny in the role of some PCCs, including Mr Hardwick. It described the suspension of Chief Constable Neil Rhodes by Mr Hardwick as potentially \"disruptive and costly and damaging to the reputation of the police force\". Mr Rhodes returned to work after a successful judicial appeal in March, after being suspended in February. The report adds: \"The decision was overturned at judicial review by Mr Justice Stuart Smith who noted 'serious error' by the PCC.\" Speaking about the suspension, Keith Vaz, chairman of the Home Affairs Committee, said: \"It's a pretty good example, in our view, of what shouldn't happen.\" Following Mr Hardwick's suspension of Mr Rhodes, the PCP waited two months before meeting. According to the report, Mr Wootten cited legal advice from East Lindsay District Council as the reason for the decision. 'Get a grip' \"We could not believe the testimony, I'm afraid, that was given to us - and has been proved to have been inaccurate - that a lawyer sitting in East Lindsey District Council had said 'don't hold a meeting, don't let the public in and don't discuss it with the public',\" said Mr Vaz. \"Frankly, this is all about the public,\" he said.

It comes as unions prepare to step-up their campaign over pay . A TUC poll has suggested a majority of workers have seen their pay fall behind inflation in recent years. Commissioned for the conference, the poll found half the work force think their employer could afford better pay rises than staff have been given. \"We've seen the economy recovering, prices going up, profit margins going up,\" said the TUC's general secretary Frances O'Grady. \"The only thing that isn't going up is people's wages and people feel pretty determined that now is the time that Britain needs that pay rise.\" Ms O'Grady told the BBC's Andrew Marr Show many workers were \"not sharing\" in the benefits of the economic recovery and predicted both industrial action and protests would take place in future months. The national minimum wage for workers over 21 is set to rise to £6.50 next month, the first real-term cash increase since 2008. But she urged Chancellor George Osborne to commit to the TUC's call for fresh increases in the minimum wage, and for employers to begin paying the \"living wage\", a measure pegged to actual living costs in specific areas. 'Fundamental attack' This week unions representing about six million members across the public and private sectors will debate issues including jobs, the economy, public services and TTIP - a planned EU/US trade deal. A series of motions will call for unions to step-up their campaigns for better pay including taking co-ordinated industrial action. Following a one-day strike in July, public sector unions are planning further action in October, according to Dave Prentis, general secretary of one of the largest trade unions, Unison. \"There is no doubt whatsoever that in the week starting the 13 October we will be taking action, not only in local government but also in the health service and other public services,\" he said. Local government workers are expected to strike on 14 October. Health workers are also likely to take industrial action that week as hundreds of thousands of NHS staff are currently being balloted. Unions claim that 60% of NHS staff were denied a pay award this year. The TUC is also organising a march and rally in London on 18 October on the issue of pay. At the conference, Ms O'Grady will also highlight the Conservative Party's plans to curb industrial action with higher thresholds in strike ballots. She is expected to describe the plans as a \"fundamental attack on human rights that takes the UK towards the kind of regimes seen in undemocratic authoritarian states\".",

            "input": "By Joel GunterBBC News He believed that Parker Fraley, who died on Saturday aged 96, in Longview, Washington, was the inspiration for Rosie the Riveter, a poster that became an enduring symbol of American feminism and one of the country's most iconic images. The poster, by the Pittsburgh artist J Howard Miller, depicted a wartime woman worker in a blue shirt and a red polka-dot bandanna, flexing her biceps, with the caption \"We Can Do It!\". Miller's poster is thought to have been based on a photograph of a woman standing at a machine tool which was published by a number of magazines in 1943 but seemingly never captioned with a name or a date. Mr Miller's poster went largely unnoticed at the time - it was displayed only in-house at Westinghouse electric plants - but it became an icon decades later, printed on everything from T-shirts to fridge magnets to skin, and reimagined by the singer Beyonce, the New Yorker magazine and others. But as the image became ubiquitous, Parker Fraley went unknown. Another woman, Geraldine Doyle, a wartime metal presser at a Michigan industrial plant, thought she saw herself in the original photograph and her claim was widely accepted. When Doyle died in December 2010, obituaries were published by the BBC, New York Times, and many others. But something about the story did not sit right with Mr Kimble, an associate professor of communication at Seton Hall University in New Jersey. He had previously researched the poster and published a paper debunking some of the myths around it. \"I had said in that research that almost everything we know about that poster is wrong,\" Mr Kimble told the BBC in a telephone interview. \"So when Doyle died in 2010, and there were all these obituaries, I of course thought, how do we know she's really the model? What's the proof? It was the rabbit hole calling to me.\" For six years, Mr Kimble scoured the internet, magazines, and wire services, searching for a version of the image with a caption. Then in 2015, he found another image of Parker Fraley, and via a reverse image search traced it to a vintage newspaper picture dealer. It just so happened the dealer had a companion image from the same day, and it was the one. More importantly, it had a date - 24 March 1942 - a location - Alameda, California - and a caption. \"Pretty Naomi Parker looks like she might catch her nose in the turret lathe she is operating,\" it said. The women wore \"safety clothes instead of feminine frills\", it added, \"And the girls don't mind - they're doing their part. Glamour is secondary these days.\" Naomi Parker was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma in August 1921. She was the third of eight children to Joseph Parker, a mining engineer, and Esther Leis, a homemaker. The family moved from town to town, following mining work, before settling in Alameda. In 1942, after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour, 20-year-old Naomi went to work at the Naval Air Station in Alameda alongside her 18-year-old sister Ada. It was in the workshop there that she was captured, by a photographer for the Acme photo agency, leaning over the machinery. When the picture appeared shortly after alongside an article in the Oakland Post-Enquirer, Parker Fraley carefully cut out the article and kept it for 70 years, while the world misidentified Doyle in her place. After the war, Naomi and Ada worked as waitresses at a famous Palm Springs restaurant, the Doll House. She went through two marriages and two divorces before marrying Charley Fraley, a brick mason, in 1979. Then after Charles died in 1998, the sisters moved in together in California. Parker Fraley had seen the famous poster - \"I did think it looked like me,\" she said later in an interview with People Magazine - but she did not connect it to the newspaper photograph stored away among her keepsakes. Then in 2011, at a reunion event for female wartime workers, Parker Fraley for the first time saw the poster displayed alongside the photograph. The woman in the photograph, according to the information alongside, was one Geraldine Doyle. \"I couldn't believe it,\" she told the Oakland Tribune in 2016. \"I knew it was actually me in the photo.\" When he first read the caption naming Parker Fraley, Mr Kimble assumed she was dead and set about trying to track down relatives through a genealogical society. After a few months, they sent him back a note saying their ethics rules did not allow them to share information about people who were still alive. Eventually he found his way to her door in Alameda. With flowers in hand - \"on my wife's advice, and it was good advice\", he said - he rang the bell. \"She was just so excited and thrilled that someone was there to listen to her story,\" Mr Kimble said. \"By that point it was three or four years she had been aware that her photo was out there under someone else's name. No matter how hard she tried, no-one would listen to her.\" After his discovery was made public, the Omaha World-Herald asked Ada down the phone - Parker Fraley is hard of hearing - how it felt to finally be known as the woman behind Rosie. \"Victory!\" Parker Fraley could be heard yelling in the background. \"Victory! Victory!\" The connection between the photograph and Mr Miller's poster is not ironclad - there is no documentation to prove it was the artist's inspiration. But the picture was published widely the year before the poster was created, including the Pittsburgh Press in Mr Miller's hometown, and to many the striking resemblance of Parker Fraley's distinctive workwear is enough. One thing is for certain, after all these years: the woman in the factory in Alameda, California was Naomi Parker Fraley. \"It was an absolutely joyful day when I went there,\" said Mr Kimble. \"I would have to say it was the highlight of my career to have the privilege of talking to her.\" Parker Fraley is survived by a son from her first marriage, Joseph Blankenship, as well as four stepsons and two stepdaughters from her marriage to Charles Fraley. \"The women of this country these days need some icons,\" she told People magazine in 2016. \"If they think I'm one, I'm happy.\"",

            "input": "Rory Cellan-JonesTechnology correspondent@BBCRoryCJon Twitter Or maybe it is just the latest example of the hype getting way ahead of the reality? On this week’s Tech Tent we find out what the big fuss is about something called GPT-3. OpenAI is a Californian company started in 2015 with a high-minded mission - to ensure that artificial general intelligence systems that could outperform humans in most jobs would benefit all humanity. It was founded as a non-profit with generous donations from Elon Musk among others but was quickly transformed into a for-profit business, with Microsoft investing $1bn. Now it has released GPT-3, a product which has had social media, or that part of it which obsesses over new technology, buzzing with excitement in recent days. It is an AI, or to be more precise, machine-learning - tool that seems to have amazing capabilities. In essence, it is a text generator but users are finding it can do everything from writing an essay about Twitter in the style of Jerome K Jerome, to answering medical questions or even coding software programs. So far, it has only been available to a few people who asked to join the private beta, among them Michael Tefula. He works for a London-based venture capital fund but describes himself as a technology enthusiast rather than a developer or computer scientist. He explains that what makes GPT-3 so powerful is the sheer volume of data it has ingested from the web when compared to an earlier version of the program. “This thing is a beast in terms of how much better it is compared to GPT-2.” So what can you do with it? “It's really down to how creative you are with the tool, you can basically give it a prompt of what you would like it to do. And it will be able to generate outputs based on that prompt.” Michael decided to see how well it would perform in taking complex legal documents and translating them into something comprehensible “I gave it two or three paragraphs that came from a legal document. \"And I also gave it two or three examples of how a simplified version of those paragraphs would look.” Having been trained, GPT-3 was then able to provide simplified versions of other documents. He went on to see whether it could learn his writing style and generate emails that would sound like him - and the results again were impressive. Which brings us to one of the problems with this technology. Last year OpenAI, apparently remembering its mission to protect humanity, said it would not release a full version of GPT-2 because that would raise safety and security concerns. In an era of fakery, an algorithm that could generate articles that might sound like a prominent politician could prove dangerous. Why then, asked some critics, was the more powerful GPT-3 any different? Among them was Facebook’s head of AI Jerome Pesenti who tweeted: “I don’t understand how we went from gpt2 being too big a threat to humanity to be released openly to gpt3 being ready to tweet, support customers or execute shell commands.” He raised the issue of the algorithm generating toxic language reflecting the biases in the data on which it has been fed, pointing out that when given words such as “Jew” or “women” it generated anti-Semitic or misogynistic tweets. OpenAI’s founder Sam Altman seemed keen to calm those fears, tweeting: “We share your concern about bias and safety in language models, and it's a big part of why we're starting off with a beta and have a safety review before apps can go live.” But the other question is whether, far from being a threat to humanity, GPT-3 is anything like as clever as it appears. The computer scientist who heads Oxford University’s artificial intelligence research, Michael Wooldridge, is sceptical. He told me that while the technical achievement was impressive, it was clear that GPT-3 did not understand what it was doing, so talk of it rivalling human intelligence was fanciful: “It is an interesting technical advance, and will be used to do some very interesting things, but it doesn’t represent an advance toward general AI. Human intelligence is much, much more than a pile of data and a big neural net.” That may be the case, but I am still eager to give it a try. Look out over the coming weeks for evidence of blogs or radio scripts written by a robot.",

            "input": "By Paul RinconScience editor, BBC News website It's beefier and uses cutting edge technologies, but Orion strongly resembles the Apollo command ships that ferried astronauts to the Moon and back in the 1960s and 70s. But there's something missing. In the 1960s, Nasa had a very clear target: the Moon. Somehow, Orion has been tagged the \"Mars ship\". But there is no tangible race to the Red Planet as there was to the Moon in the 60s and no hard-and-fast deadline like that set by JFK. Nasa's chief scientist Ellen Stofan says the launch sets America \"on that journey to Mars\". But she adds that: \"Getting to Mars is tough... we're trying to break the problem into each of the technologies we need to develop.\" The next step in the problem is testing Orion's new rocket - the Space Launch System (SLS) - in 2018. But then Nasa will need to design and test a transfer ship to carry the astronauts on the 16-month round trip. Then there is the thorny problem of protecting humans from cosmic radiation they will be exposed to on the way, as well as getting astronauts down and then back up from the surface. Without a real political imperative to get there soon, those technologies are going to take years if not decades to develop. Programme resurrected Orion started off as the \"Moon ship\" under George W Bush's Constellation plan to get Americans back to the lunar surface by 2020. After entering office, President Obama initially ordered the scrapping of the entire Constellation programme. It was the height of the worldwide financial crisis and finding the money to continue with an over-budget, under-schedule programme that was closely associated with his Republican predecessor was probably not a top priority for the new president. \"This is like a death in the family,\" said Nasa chief Charles Bolden in 2010, after the cancellation of the multi-billion-dollar programme was announced. But scrapping Constellation meant scrapping jobs, and the president soon ran into fierce political opposition from members of Congress representing districts that were home to Nasa centres. In April 2010, under pressure from Congress, Obama resurrected the space vehicle - with some design changes - and announced a package of measures to help workers at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida find jobs after the retirement of the space shuttle. Thus, the Orion Crew Exploration Vehicle (CEV) was re-born as the Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle (MPCV) - swiftly switched back to \"Orion\" after the fuss had subsided. As for the other elements of Constellation: the Ares I rocket, its heavy-lift counterpart Ares V, and the Moon lander Altair - they were to get no reprieve. Going to Mars Obama reiterated that Constellation's path was \"unsustainable\" and promised to begin work by 2015 on a new heavy lift rocket - later named the SLS - to launch Orion into space. But what was Orion going to do now that landing on the Moon was off the table? Obama decided to go one better than President Bush, and announce that America was going to Mars. Now, the Moon was an achievable goal in the near term, given sufficient funding. A cynic might say that setting Mars as the goal cleverly kicked the problem into the long grass - since the technologies needed to mount a successful round trip to the Red Planet were nowhere near mature. At the same time, going to Mars has long been the dream of many in the space community. And it appears that the sight of a president announcing a manned programme to Mars was enough to assuage some of the criticism. Even under the Constellation plan, going back to the Moon would have served as a proving ground where astronauts were to have learnt to \"live off the land\" in preparation for an eventual trip to the Red Planet. Capture asteroid But nearly five years on, as President Obama approaches the end of his presidency, the question of what to do with Orion - at least while those all-important Mars technologies are being developed - has come around again. Among the proposals being talked about is for Orion to visit an asteroid that has been previously captured and redirected by a robotic mission - either a small rock that is surrounded by a bag in space, or lifted off the surface of a larger body. But those weren't the focus of talk around Friday's launch. The latter proposal has already proven controversial in the media, and - in any case - the \"asteroid bagging ship\" probably doesn't have quite as much of a ring to it. Thus, Orion was designated the \"Mars ship\". But let's not kid ourselves; we're going to be waiting a long time before we see the stars and stripes being planted in the red Martian soil.

            "input": "By Robbie MeredithBBC News NI Education Correspondent That figure was revealed by the Education Authority (EA) during evidence to the NI Affairs Committee at Westminster on Wednesday. The EA's director of finance said that many schools \"simply cannot take any further action to reduce their costs\". The committee of MPs is holding an inquiry into education funding in Northern Ireland. Three senior staff from the EA gave evidence at the first oral hearing on Wednesday. During the hearing, Labour MP Stephen Hepburn asked the EA what it was doing to engage the Orange Order in education. \"When I look at their marches you've got kids that size and you've got boys and girls in their teens,\" he said. \"Surely if these Orange Orders can inspire young people to dress up so smart and look so great and be so proud and everything, they can inspire them to try a bit harder at school?\" Mr Hepburn also asked whether sports stars like Rory McIlroy could also help encourage young people to do well in school. Meanwhile, the committee's chairman, Dr Andrew Murrison, asked why the Department of Education's (DE) accounts for 2017/18 showed an underspend against initial estimates of £136m. The accounts detailed the underspend - about 6% of the department's budget - against the spring supplementary estimate. Dr Murrison asked why the EA had been unable to \"prise the sticky fingers of the department of education from this very substantial underspend.\" However in separate written evidence published by the committee, the DE said that all aspects of their budget were under \"significant pressure.\" They said their resource budget had reduced by £233m in real terms since 2010/11. The department revealed that as a result, less money was being spent per pupil in Northern Ireland's schools this year than was the case at the start of the decade. 'Tipping point' The EA's chair Sharon O'Connor told the committee that the authority did not have enough money to meet the needs of schools and pupils. \"We are in a financial crisis, we could tip into an educational crisis because if we do not have teachers in classrooms to deliver the service we would be in a very difficult situation,\" she said. \"We're almost at that tipping point at the moment.\" Joyce Bill, director of finance at the EA, said that many schools could not take any further action to reduce costs. \"Based on the information that we have available to us at this time, schools are estimating that they will overspend their common funding formula allocations by about about £32m to £33m,\" she said. \"Importantly that is after schools have identified just under £11m of additional income and savings, so our schools are doing everything they can do.\" In response to a question from North Down MP Lady Hermon, the EA's acting chief executive John Collings told the committee that a backdated 1% pay rise for teachers for 2017/18 was dependent on an end to industrial action by teaching unions. \"We have accrued some funding to pay a teacher's pay rise of 1% for last year, but what we would look to do is to see whether we could achieve more than that,\" he said. \"However, that has to go with an end to industrial action in schools and that's the discussion we're having at the moment with our colleagues in the trade unions.\" Lady Hermon replied: \"I thought the days of austerity were over.\" The committee is due to hear more oral evidence over the coming months, but while they will eventually produce recommendations they cannot compel any additional funding.",

            "input": "Mr Trump said the latest decision was taken on the recommendation of the White House Coronavirus Task Force. The president had earlier said he might impose a quarantine on New York, and parts of New Jersey and Connecticut, to slow the spread of Covid-19. There are more than 59,000 cases in New York. The state has about half of the total confirmed Covid-19 cases in the entire US. Mr Trump tweeted that instead of quarantine, a \"strong travel advisory\" would be issued to New York, New Jersey and Connecticut by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The CDC then published a statement urging residents of those three states to \"refrain\" from all non-essential domestic travel for 14 days. The agency said the advisory did not apply to \"critical infrastructure\" service providers, including healthcare professionals and food suppliers. Speaking to reporters earlier on Saturday about the situation in New York, Mr Trump said: \"We'd like to see [it] quarantined because it's a hotspot... I'm thinking about that.\" He said it would be aimed at slowing the spread of the virus to other parts of the US. \"They're having problems down in Florida. A lot of New Yorkers are going down. We don't want that,\" he said. What did New York's governor say? New York Governor Andrew Cuomo responded by saying that quarantining the state of New York would be \"preposterous\" and \"anti-American\". \"If you said we were geographically restricted from leaving, that would be a lockdown.\" He said New York had already implemented \"quarantine\" measures, such as banning major gatherings and ordering people to remain at home, but that he would oppose any \"lockdown\" efforts. \"Then we would be Wuhan, China, and that wouldn't make any sense,\" he told CNN, adding that this would cause the stock market to crash in a way that would make it impossible for the US economy to \"recover for months, if not years\". \"You would paralyse the financial sector,\" he said. He told a press briefing earlier on Saturday: \"I don't know how that can be legally enforceable. And from a medical point of view, I don't know what you would be accomplishing. \"But I can tell you, I don't even like the sound of it.\" Mr Cuomo also said he would sue nearby Rhode Island if the authorities there continued targeting New Yorkers and threatening to punish them for failing to quarantine. On Friday, Rhode Island Governor Gina Raimondo deployed National Guard troops to stop cars with a New York licence plate, to remind them of their state's advice that they quarantine. Soldiers are going door-to-door in coastal vacation communities to ask if any residents have recently visited New York City. The White House has said anyone leaving New York City should self-isolate for 14 days. What's the latest in the US? With more than 2,500 virus-related fatalities, the US death toll remains lower than those in Italy and China. But there are virus hotspots in New York, New Orleans, Detroit and Seattle. Saturday saw the first death in the US of an infant who had tested positive for coronavirus. The baby died in Chicago. In his press briefing, Mr Cuomo said New York was postponing its presidential primary by almost two months until 23 June as a result of the outbreak. He also said the apex of the crisis would occur in the next 14 to 21 days. Mr Cuomo said the state would soon require 30,000 respiratory ventilators, which had increased in price to $45,000 (£36,000) each due to demand. He added that Mr Trump had approved the construction of four temporary hospitals. Demand for ventilators has also doubled in the southern state of Louisiana. Governor John Bel Edwards said New Orleans would run out of ventilators by 2 April and possibly run out of hospital beds by 7 April if the number of new infections did not subside. \"It's not some flimsy theory. This is what is going to happen,\" he said. President Trump has ordered a car manufacturer in Detroit to produce more ventilators. Hospitals in New York City are rapidly running out of medical equipment and personal protective gear. More widely, the mayors of most US cities have said they expect massive shortages of critical personal safety equipment in the coming weeks. On Saturday, Mr Trump watched as the USNS Comfort, a navy hospital ship with 1,000 beds aboard, left for New York from Virginia. It will station itself at a Manhattan pier to deal with the overload of patients that New York expects. It came after Mr Trump signed a $2.2 trillion (£1.8tr) bailout bill passed by Congress on Friday, the largest fiscal stimulus in US history.",

            "input": "By Chris WoodBBC News Pierre Cornlouer from Tredegar spent 30 years in the Navy, serving in the Falklands, the Gulf and Bosnia. He wrote The Adventures of Mrs Orangeleaf to explain to his daughter what life was like for servicemen. An animation of it is narrated by Simon Weston and voiced by 40 other veterans. They are all aged 20 to 85, with many of them people Mr Cornlouer has met in his role as chaplain for the Alabare charity - which helps those struggling to cope with life outside the military. The Armed Forces Covenant funded the animation and radio play adaptations and they will be premiered in Portsmouth to coincide with the 35th anniversary of the Falklands conflict later this year. Mr Cornlouer said recording them helped many veterans \"feel part of something\" for the first time since leaving the forces. \"My daughter asked 'what are you doing daddy?' when I spoke to her [while away]. I replied 'giving Benjamin [HMS] Illustrious his breakfast',\" he said. \"I described oil sandwiches, Norman the Harrier taking off from it and lights on the Hormuz strait between Iraq and Iran being pirates.\" Trying to explain to a child what he was experiencing was the inspiration behind him putting pen to paper. He was an assistant steward on the QE2 after it was commandeered to take soldiers to the Falklands when the conflict over the South Atlantic British colony broke out with Argentina in 1982. \"We got to know many of them and gave them a can of beer [as they got off] and wished them luck,\" he said. \"But then we had to pick up survivors from the Coventry and Antelope [British boats that had been bombed] and realised the Galahad [another ship] had also been hit. \"We lost some of them. That is when we realised the nature of the war.\" While flashbacks of what he saw, such as the badly injured servicemen he helped, can be triggered any time such as through television shows, his books give a different perspective of the conflict. Instead of the horrors, details on the Falklands War are limited to a story about \"two penguins, a seal and a ship stuck on ice\". Mrs Orangeleaf and the Pirates has sold 10,000 copies, while he has written two others, including Mrs Orangeleaf Goes to Santa's rescue - based loosely on the Army helping out after floods hit England over Christmas 2013. \"The idea is to let children and adults know that the Army, Navy and air force don't go around killing people,\" he said. \"You see on the news stories about places like Syria and some things are very graphic. \"There are messages in the book, like don't bully people, with a liar on the ship getting the worst jobs and details of the humanitarian work.\" Through his chaplaincy work, he runs coffee mornings for veterans around south Wales. He said being able to joke and make light of things they had experienced was part of the \"healing process\" for many ex-servicemen, with the project being an extension of that. Mr Cornlouer added: \"A lot of people come out of the forces and find life difficult. Their children can just see daddy has been in a war and is not very happy. \"But a soldier is a human being and they are just valleys guys. This [Mrs Orangeleaf] can hopefully mean they can explain things better and are film stars instead.\" Veterans taking part include Alice Robinson, who was in the Women's Royal Army Corps, who is the voice of Mrs Orangeleaf. Falklands veteran Simon Weston, whom Mr Cornlouer met on the QE2, agreed to narrate the animation. \"It is nice for all veterans to get together. One thing they miss is the camaraderie,\" he said. \"This works tremendously well - when they stop acting, they have a laugh.\" His words were echoed by Barry Edwards, a former corporal in the Royal Regiment of Wales, who met Mr Cornlouer at Alabare's Pontypridd's accommodation for veterans who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless. He believes involvement in Mrs Orangeleaf has been \"inspiring\" for many who served in the Falklands, Northern Ireland, Iraq and Afghanistan. \"This has shown that the teamwork and comradeship still exists now as it did then,\" Mr Edwards said. \"It has allowed teamwork to flourish and banter to prevail, it has allowed the veterans to have a sense of belonging.\"",

The Church backs doctors who refuse to perform abortions and is concerned at contraception in US healthcare laws. Mr Obama, who has praised the Pope's compassion, told him it was a \"great honour\" to meet him. The US president had flown to Rome after three days of talks with world leaders in the Netherlands and Brussels. The Vatican gave few specifics about the nature of the \"cordial\" one-hour audience. But in a statement it said: \"In the context of bilateral relations and co-operation between Church and state, there was a discussion on questions of particular relevance for the Church in that country, such as the exercise of the rights to religious freedom, life and conscientious objection.\" The BBC's Alan Johnston in Rome says the Pope strongly opposes Mr Obama's liberal views on abortion, contraception and gay marriage. For example, contraception coverage is mandated under Mr Obama's healthcare laws. Our correspondent says it had been expected that efforts to combat global poverty might feature prominently in the talks. But the Vatican's official statement made no mention of this. It did refer to two areas of accord - reforming US immigration laws and tackling human trafficking. The Vatican said that \"the common commitment to the eradication of trafficking of human persons in the world was stated\". Mr Obama later said the pair did discuss responsibility to care for the poor. The US president's motorcade had delivered him to a courtyard in the heart of the Vatican and he met the Pope in the papal palace. There was more traditional Vatican formality than the Pope has observed during much of his papacy so far. Our correspondent says there were smiles and an easy opening exchange. \"It is a great honour.

The Cotswolds pub, owned by the Duchess of Devonshire, dates back to the 1880s. Mr Cameron is following in the lead of Tony Blair, who once took President Bush to a pub in his constituency. 'Idyllic' Friday's lunch was the culmination of a one-day France-UK summit at RAF Brize Norton, about five miles away. On its website, the Swan Inn describes itself as a \"boutique Cotswolds inn\" in an \"idyllic location\" which is \"the perfect place to relax, socialise and unwind\". The two leaders and close colleagues enjoyed a menu of potted shrimps, rainbow trout and apple crumble. Before the meal, the two leaders briefly stood at the bar discussing trade with publican Archie Orr-Ewing. He told them that business was \"much better\" than last year and that he had escaped the flooding that had affected many other areas. The prime minister also pointed out the pub's links to the famous Mitford family. The Duchess of Devonshire is the last survivor of the six Mitford sisters. Her siblings included novelist Nancy Mitford and socialite Diana Mitford - who married the fascist leader Oswald Mosley. The BBC News channel's chief political correspondent Norman Smith suggested the two leaders may have missed a trick in their efforts to boost British business. \"Anglo-French relations hit new low as PM and President Hollande opt not to share a pint in pub,\" he tweeted. \"PM and President Hollande stand at bar chatting to concerned barman without ordering anything.\"",

He was speaking alongside five former artistic directors at an event to celebrate the venue's birthday. He said theatres must come up with more \"inventive\" ways to put on shows. In March, Sheffield Theatres had an 11% Arts Council cut in real terms. \"It is serious, of course it is,\" he said of the economic situation. \"At the same time, we in the arts know that we aren't some kind of sacred sector that can't be affected. \"All that needs to happen for theatre to happen is someone watching and someone doing something in front of them. \"I'm not saying that we'd want to do things with a cheap set because we pride ourselves on our production values, but there are ways of doing things, of being inventive, of telling these stories in inventive, challenging, new ways, that mean we can beat any cuts.\" Evans has been helped by the recent success of Othello, featuring The Wire co-stars Dominic West and Clarke Peters, which became the most successful production in the theatre's history, selling 31,000 tickets. Michael Grandage, who was artistic director from 2000-05 and now runs the Donmar Warehouse in London, recalled a relatively prosperous time when New Labour was putting money into the arts. \"As a result we were able to really do some exciting work,\" he said. \"Cast sizes and the epic nature of those classical works suddenly became possible. If ever there was a case for why subsidy is important in the arts, that was the period when it was proven. \"It steadied us and stopped us from going into liquidation. It gave us a bit of confidence.\" The theatre has used the anniversary to launch the Future 40 Fund, a campaign to encourage members of the public to donate money to secure its future. When the theatre opened in 1971, it was mired in controversy over its thrust stage, which was radical at the time as it is surrounded by the audience, rather than being a traditional theatre layout. Founding artistic director Colin George recalled how critics predicted \"no self-respecting actor would work here\". Mr George said: \"They thought it wouldn't work and in fact we had some quite distinguished members of the theatre saying, for example, that it would become the laughing stock of the country, and that it would close in seven years. Well it hasn't, has it?\" The theatre's new season includes a production of Stephen Sondheim's Company, a series of Michael Frayn plays and the appearance of John Simm in Harold Pinter's Betrayal.",

Disadvantaged pupils also miss out on homework help from parents, with half of poor 15-year-olds getting support. This compares with two-thirds of pupils from the most advantaged homes. On average, GCSE-year pupils in England spend 9.5 hours per week receiving extra tuition, help with homework from parents or support from school. The Sutton Trust said private tuition was the \"hidden secret\" of British education in an \"educational arms race\" that reinforces the advantages of youngsters from richer homes. Tutoring is a £2bn a year industry, according to the trust, but a lack of transparency means that it is difficult to get an accurate picture of the market. The trust claimed to be \"lifting the veil on its prevalence\" to shine a light on \"important social mobility issues\" surrounding the differences in children who get extra tuition. 'Education arms race' The study found, as might be expected, that pupils from different income groups receive different levels of extra support. Those with with well-off parents are receiving 2.5 hours more of extra tuition a week than less well-off pupils, the report said. All in all more than a third (35%) of those from more advantaged households said they have received private tuition. This compared with less than a fifth (18%) of those from less-well off families. But the difference was most stark when comparing high achieving GCSE pupils from poor backgrounds and low achieving pupils from wealthy backgrounds. The study also concluded that bright, poor teenagers in England, spent about seven hours a week on average in extra lessons, while less clever, richer youngsters get more than double this - about 15 hours on average. Homework help A poll of more than 2,600 secondary school children, conducted as part of the study, found that 30% of youngsters said they have received private or home tuition at some stage. The research also revealed a racial dimension with 56% of Asian and 42% of black students saying they had experienced tutoring, compared with 25% of white children. Poorer pupils also get less help with their homework, with half of the most disadvantaged 15-year-olds saying their parents regularly help them with their studies, compared to 68% of their better-off classmates. Report author Dr John Jerrim said children of high ability from low-income families were \"not receiving the kinds of educational opportunities they should\". The trust is calling for schools to establish \"homework clubs\" to give poorer pupils the support they need. It also urges government to introduce a voucher system, using money set side by central government for disadvantaged children. The Ipsos MORI poll commissioned as part of the research spoke to 2,612 11-16-year-olds in England and Wales between February and May.",

However, Gloucestershire's director of public health Sarah Scott has now said that visits can go ahead, but only with strict safety measures in place. She said the advice would aim to ensure visiting was safe \"for the residents, the staff and the visitors themselves.\" Gloucestershire County Council recommended that care homes suspended visits on 20 October, 'to minimise the impact of Covid on those at risk from it'. The decision caused distress to many families who said their visits were important. Kath Barnard, from Gloucester, whose mother is in a care home in the city said she deteriorated during the first lockdown when visits were banned. \"Mum's in an ever-increasing world of confusion, family visits were a point of stability. \"Now that she can see me again, it gives her that routine and safe place.

The revered 65-year-old guitarist had been receiving treatment for throat cancer. Wolfgang Van Halen added that one of the guitars sold had been a gift, adding: \"It WASN'T for charity.

Four out of six of the hospital's core services had improved, but its overall rating remained \"inadequate\". The CQC's chief inspector of hospitals said \"real cultural change\" had taken place and staff were more \"positive\". \"The dedicated work of staff deserves recognition, a number of improvements have been made at the most challenging time for hospital services, and this is to be commended,\" said Ted Baker, the chief inspector.

Maternity and surgery services remain rated as \"requires improvement\". All six services have been rated as good for whether they are both caring and safe. Mr Baker said inspectors noted how caring staff were and there were examples of some who \"exceeded expectations to help people\". While improvements had been made, the hospital remained in special measures because inspectors did not look at whether the trust which runs it, The Queen Elizabeth Hospital King's Lynn NHS Foundation Trust, was well-led. The CQC has told the trust it must make improvements to training for anaesthetists in maternity, staffing levels in diagnostic imaging and the out-of-hours staffing arrangement.

They will also be able to hire and dismiss the chief constable and set the force's budget. The commissioners will be paid and are supposed to empower local people into having a say on how crime is tackled in their area. Nominations for candidates in Hertfordshire have now officially closed. BBC News has taken a look at each of the police forces ahead of the elections. Hertfordshire Hertfordshire Police covers an area of 632 square miles (1,636 sq km) with a mix of villages and towns, with some of the busiest roads in Europe and a population of more than 1m people. Urban centres include Watford, Hemel Hempstead, Stevenage, St Albans, Welwyn Garden City, Cheshunt and Bishop's Stortford. The force is made up of 3,600 officers and staff, and more than 400 special constables. Hertfordshire Police's headquarters are in Welwyn Garden City and the force is headed up by Chief Constable Andy Bliss. The force is working with neighbouring constabularies Bedfordshire and Cambridgeshire to help save costs. Partnerships include the Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire Dog Unit (2009), the Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire Counter Terrorism and Domestic Extremism Unit (2011) and the Scientific Services Unit for Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire (2012). Plans to outsource police support services to G4S are being further reviewed after the chief constables of three forces expressed concerns about the company's ability to deliver them. The Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire Police plan are still reviewing plans to outsource police services to G4S to help plug a £73m funding gap. In June, the forces were given the go-ahead to investigate outsourcing \"backroom\" services including IT, finance, human resources and legal services. But the plan was put on hold after G4S admitted found itself criticised for falling short on the number of security guards provided for the Olympics. The plan, which could affect 1,100 staff and save each force £20m a year by 2015 is being reviewed. The police force says its committed to \"maintaining strong performance in reducing crime and disorder\". It aims to ensure total crime levels per head of population do not increase and that there is no increase in the levels of anti-social behaviour or burglaries. It says the county should be a \"hostile environment for criminals\". The force also wants to increase of the number of offenders charged with the supply of Class A drugs. Hertfordshire Police's strategy says it will work with the community to reduce anti-social behaviour. Funding Hertfordshire Police has set its 2012-13 budget at £184.3m. Cuts in grant due to the government's spending review mean the force has to make £9.318m in savings in 2012-13, and save £36.928m over the next four years up to 2015-16. In 2011 Hertfordshire Police decided to close front counter services at four police stations as part of its savings. To make the savings the force is looking at cutting up to 122 officer posts seeing number reduced from from 1,972 in 2011-12 to between 1,850 and 1,900 by March 2015. Up to 597 staff posts are also set to go by March 2015 going from 1,697 in 2011-12 to between 1,100 and 1,200. Crime and performance The latest figures issued by Hertfordshire Police show that there were 18,779 crimes committed between April and July 2012 compared to 22,401 in the same period last year - a 16% drop. The number of violent offences decreased by 9.2% to 3,444 incidents (although the number of serious violent crimes rose by 29% to 84) and the the number of sexual offences dropped by 10.3%. The number of robberies dropped by 13.9% and the number of burglaries fell by 19.2%. The figures also show that the number of frauds rose from 929 to 1,087 - a rise of 17%. The number of drug offences fell by 11%.",

But the UK's fertility regulator had refused to allow her to take the eggs out of storage, saying the deceased daughter had not given full consent. The case was believed to be the first of its kind. The Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA) decided in 2014 there was insufficient evidence to show the daughter wanted the eggs used in the way her parents suggested after her death. Although the daughter consented for her eggs to be stored for use after her death, she did not fill in a separate form outlining how she wished them to be used. The High Court judge Mr Justice Ouseley said: \"I must dismiss this claim, though I do so conscious of the additional distress which this will bring to the claimants, whose aim has been to honour their daughter's dying wish for something of her to live on after her untimely death.\" 'Disproportionate interference' Jenni Richards QC, appearing for the parents, referred to as Mr and Mrs M, asked the judge to rule the HFEA was wrong not to allow access to the eggs. She argued it was a \"disproportionate interference\" with the family's human rights. The daughter, \"A\", had her eggs frozen after being diagnosed with bowel cancer at the age of 23. Her parents say she asked her mother to \"carry my babies\" once she knew she had no hope of surviving the illness. Mrs M said her daughter had told her: \"I didn't go through IVF to save my eggs for nothing. \"I want you and Dad to bring them up, they will be safe with you.\" Mrs M's statement added: \"She was clear that she wanted her genes to be carried forward after her death. \"She had suffered terribly, and this was the one constant in her remaining years from which she never wavered.\" Catherine Callaghan, appearing for the HFEA, said its decision was neither irrational nor disproportionate and there was no clear evidence A had expressed the wish for her mother to carry her child in the event of her death. She said: \"There may be a natural human temptation to give the claimants what they are seeking, but the court should be very reluctant to assume that, because this is the proposed course the claimants want, it must inherently follow that it was also what the daughter wanted, in the absence of clear evidence to that effect.\" Mrs M and her husband could now take their case to the Court of Appeal if they wish.",

People who have lost jobs and have high housing costs are worst hit, it adds. The government confirmed the uplift will be secure until March. Universal credit claimants were given a £20-a-week boost in response to the coronavirus pandemic in April, but this is due to end by next April. Campaigners have raised concerns that the chancellor did not commit to extend the extra payment in last week's spending review. Legatum's warning is the latest to the government on the need for continued support for families and individuals caught up in the economic fallout from the pandemic. 'Some days are really, really difficult' For single mum Simone, the outlook is \"terrifying\". She gave up her job as a sales supervisor in a clothes shop at the end of last year, hoping for a better-paid role in customer relations. But since the lockdown began in March, finding a job has proved impossible. \"I'm very worried because there's a lot of uncertainty, especially on benefits... some days are really, really difficult,\" she says. \"Food has been difficult. Occasionally it has picked up a little bit. I have been able to do a little bit more of a weekly shop, but it is difficult making sure the money lasts for the whole month... and there are no luxuries.\" The idea of being unable to buy clothes and other essentials for her seven-year-old daughter is a major point of stress. The pair live with Simone's mum but, as a care worker, she herself is on a low income, so they are still stretched financially - and then there's the issue of space, with three people in a two-bedroom flat. \"You're basically living on top of each other. We manage. We're grateful to have a roof over our heads but it is difficult... especially during lockdown when you're cramped indoors.\" 'A time of crisis' Legatum says before the pandemic about 14.4 million people were estimated to be in poverty in the UK, according to a measure that looks at both income and unavoidable living costs, such as housing. But its analysis suggests that during the pandemic another 690,000 were left struggling to pay bills and put food on the table. It says younger and older workers with high housing costs have been hardest hit, as well as people with disabilities. However, Legatum calculates that another 700,000 people have been kept out of poverty by the extra £20 a week, and fears many would be unable to cope if it was stopped. \"Our analysis shows that, at a time of crisis, government action can protect many of those who are vulnerable to poverty,\" said Legatum chief executive Baroness Philippa Stroud. She told the BBC she wants to see the uplift continue beyond March because \"it takes a while to get yourself up and out and back into work\". Sectors like hospitality where 81% have been furloughed or made redundant, could take a while to recover, she said, arguing that the £20 should remain long enough \"to see people through that process and to a place where they can work themselves out of poverty the other side\". Labour's shadow work and pensions secretary, Jonathan Reynolds, urged the government \"to see sense\" as removing the uplift would mean \"taking £1,000 a year from Britain's families at the peak of the unemployment crisis\". \"This crisis has highlighted how important it is that we support each other but the Conservatives expect the poorest households to shoulder the burden,\" said Mr Reynolds. A government spokesperson said: \"We are wholly committed to supporting people on lower incomes and have paid out more than £100bn in welfare support this year. \"The £20 increase to universal credit continues to be in place until the end of March 2021.\"",

The chancellor Rishi Sunak said it would help Wales \"pave the way to a greener future\". The Welsh Government said it was waiting to see if it was new money. On Wednesday the chancellor is making his annual budget statement to MPs where he will outline the state of the economy, the UK government's plans for taxes and spending, and forecasts for how the UK economy could perform in future. It is separate to the Welsh Government's final budget for 2021-22 published on Tuesday, in which the Welsh Government have announced a further £682m of support mainly to help the NHS and local authorities tackle coronavirus. On Wednesday, Mr Sunak is expected to announce £4.8m to pilot a hydrogen production centre in Holyhead in Anglesey, which would produce and distribute hydrogen made using renewable energy to use in HGVs. The Treasury said this hydrogen would be used to \"decarbonise high carbon-emitting transport\" as part of their plans to reach net zero carbon emissions by 2050. Ministers claim the project has the potential to create up to 30 high-skilled green jobs, indirectly support 500 jobs and bring investment to the area. The budget is also set to bring forward £58.7m of funding over the next five years for investment in three \"City and Growth Deals\" in Swansea Bay, north Wales and mid Wales. City and Growth Deals use funding from Welsh Government, UK government and other organisations like businesses and universities to support regeneration projects and economic growth in areas such as agriculture, infrastructure, transport and technology. On Wednesday the Treasury will announce that the Swansea Bay City Deal will get an extra £5.4m per year for the remaining seven years of the deal and the North Wales Growth Deal will get an extra £4.4m per year for the remaining nine years of the deal. The mid Wales deal will get an extra £1.8m per year for the remaining 10 years of the deal. The chancellor is also set to announce £30m in funding towards a rail testing complex in south Wales, located at the Nant Helen surface mine and Onllwyn coal washery at the head of the Dulais and Tawe valleys. The Welsh Government had estimated the project would cost about £150m, and the Treasury say they will \"match fund\" up to £30m with the remaining £128m from the Welsh Government and private sector investment. Rishi Sunak said: \"These measures will help Wales pave the way to a greener future, create new high skilled jobs and build the infrastructure needed to drive growth in key sectors and build back better.\" A Welsh Government spokesperson said: \"We await to see the detail on these announcements to determine if any of this is new funding. \"We have not seen any detail on the Global Centre of Rail Excellence, but welcome investment for this project.\" Ian Price, CBI Wales Director, said: \"If the economy is to snap back into shape, then Wednesday's Budget will also need to incentivise businesses to get spending on jobs, skills and innovation.\" The £4.8m that will be announced for a hydrogen hub in Holyhead will help develop plans that have been under way for two years, led by the local social enterprise Menter Mon, which is also involved with Morlais tidal energy The long-term plan is for hydrogen to be made using electricity generated by the tides. In turn that hydrogen would be used to power lorries and other vehicles. Similarly the Global Centre of Rail Excellence in Neath Port Talbot is another example of a new skilled industry developing from old. Onllwyn was the heart of the south Wales coalfield with local pits supplying a coal washery and more recently the Nant Helen opencast site. Welsh Government, two local authorities and now the UK government are investing in testing and research facilities including a high speed track. Work is planned to start this year. For the city deals, having money from the Treasury brought forward means that they move forward plans and also can reduce the amount that they need to borrow for large scale investments.",

At the start of the war Britain produced just 35% of the food it ate. So the work of the Women's Land Army was vital in the Allies' victory. While the formation of the Women's Institutes in Wales helped conserve food, it was the Women's Land Army (WLA), or Land Girls, who took on the task of producing it in the first place. Britain's food imports made up around 50% of the country's requirements, so when Germany successfully mounted naval blockades in 1915, the country faced a problem. Then, in 1917, the harvest failed and Britain was left with just three weeks' of food reserves. Famine loomed. The Board of Agriculture set up the Women's Land Army and over a quarter of a million volunteers flocked to help. Agnes Greatorex from Cardiff left a life in domestic service for the very different world of Green Farm in Ely, Cardiff, now a hostel for homeless people. As part of the BBC's All Our Lives series in 1994 she went back to re-live the day she swapped the front parlour for the milking parlour. She said: \"We had to get up at five in the morning for milking, and then we'd have to take it up to Glan Ely hospital. After that - especially during the winter - we'd have to muck-out the cow sheds. Then we might get half an hour for breakfast. \"I'd be out there picking up stones from the field or cutting hay, and I'd be as happy as a lark.\" She believed that, although her work on Green Farm was equally as arduous as that in service, being a Land Girl gave her a glimpse into the future. \"When I became a Land Girl I thought that's it, I'm independent,\" she said. \"I had a pound a week, not as much as the men but a lot still - there was no-one to boss me, no more running around at the beck and call of the cook. \"I think the First World War did change women. Because once they'd had a taste they wouldn't go back to service, they were free.\" Indeed it was not just the Land Girls' lives that would never be the same again - women not only had to help feed the nation, but also plug the gaping hole in labour left by the millions of men off fighting. For the first time a door had been opened on previously male-only professions such as the railways, engineering, police and fire brigade. And as much as women helped shape the outcome of the war, the war also helped shape the outcome for women. Swansea University's WW1 historian Dr Gerry Oram says that after the Armistice, the government had little choice but to acknowledge this new reality. \"There was little point in pretending anymore - women had proved they could take on any role a man had done, and they'd played an enormous part in winning the war,\" he said. \"The Sex Disqualification (Removal) Act of 1919 made it illegal to exclude women from jobs because of their gender. \"This followed the 1918 Representation of the People Act, which enfranchised 8.5 million women, giving them a voice in Britain's government for the first time.\" But male attitudes were slow to catch up with this new reality, a point demonstrated by the fact that the voting age was set at 30 for women, as opposed to 21 for men. And whilst the inter-war years did indeed bring new found prosperity and freedoms for some women, for many more the hard-fought recognition proved little more than lip service. Dr Oram believes that nowhere did old habits die harder than in Wales. He said: \"In theory women had legal protection, but the reality of the situation was that the economy was so depressed following the war that there simply wasn't the jobs for them to go into. \"Add to that the amount of seriously wounded men coming home who required constant care, and in many instances women's lots were actually considerably worse after 1918. \"The Sex Discrimination Act was at odds with other legislation which promised servicemen their pre-war jobs back when they returned, and given the post-war collapse of heavy industry in Wales, there were even fewer jobs to go around here than elsewhere. \"In fact in Wales women had comprised 27% of the labour force in 1911, but that actually fell to 21% by 1931.\" But even if post-war economic hardship delayed many of the social changes Welsh women had hoped for, according to Dr Oram there was nevertheless a lasting effect. \"Yes, there were fewer women working in Wales, and many of those who were working had been forced to go back to the domestic service they'd been trying to escape,\" he said. \"But after WW1 they travel further afield for employment, to London etc, and their horizons begin to broaden. This is when you start to see many of the Welsh societies springing up outside of Wales. \"Economic activity is just one way of measuring social change; after the war women travel more, are better educated, and start to have a greater voice in politics and the arts. \"Even if there wasn't an immediately noticeable benefit, there was however a shift in attitude, a sense that things could be different, which fed into social change later in the 20th Century.\"",

            "input": "By Matt PicklesBBC News global education But that is the goal of a charity founded by JK Rowling. The charity, Lumos, works with governments in countries like Moldova and Ukraine to reform their education and child protection systems. But it is a tale of steady bureaucratic reform rather than daring adventure. Lumos, which the Potter author founded after reading an article about children being kept in caged beds in an orphanage, is on a mission to end the placing of children in poor-quality institutions by 2050. Potter fans will notice that the charity is named after the spell used by witches and wizards to bring light to dark places. And Lumos wants to challenge some perceptions. Poor quality care It wants people in Europe and the US to think twice about sponsoring or supporting orphanages in other countries, unless they can be sure of what is being provided. It wants to make a distinction between \"high-quality residential care\" and institutions where children are \"arbitrarily separated from their parents\" and where they might be isolated from other schoolchildren and the wider community. The charity warns that in some orphanages many of the children will not be orphans, but separated from their families because of poverty and discrimination. There are concerns about children being exposed to risks of abuse and trafficking - and there are warnings that children can have worse education and life outcomes than if they attended inclusive schools in their communities. \"A lot of people do not know there are millions of children in these institutions, and most of these children have parents who want them,\" says Lumos chief executive Georgette Mulheir. \"Most people think they are orphans who need looking after, they do not know the serious harm that institutionalisation does to children's development.\" Inclusive classes At least eight million children live in orphanages and residential institutions, yet more than 80% are not actually orphans, says the charity. One of Lumos's first successes was to help to take children out of institutions in Moldova by reforming the country's education system to make it more inclusive. It is currently working in Ukraine, which has more than 100,000 children in institutions, to develop an inclusive education system and reform the child protection system. This involves training teachers, adapting the curriculum, and changing existing rules which hold back some children - for example, adapting exams so that children with learning difficulties can progress to the next school year. In another comparison to Potter, the advocacy of children has been an important part of the campaign. Warning to donors Before Moldova's government agreed to reform its education system, a boy from a mainstream school made an impassioned speech to the country's education minister. \"It was great to watch this young man wagging his finger at the minister, saying 'we mean it, we expect you to do this',\" says Ms Mulheir. \"It had quite an impact on her.\" Ms Mulheir says the problem of children in inappropriate institutions is not confined to less developed countries - these places still exist in some of the richest countries in the world. \"People would be quite shocked to learn about the situation in Belgium and to a lesser extent France, where there are still institutions for babies even though all of the evidence shows this seriously harms early brain development,\" she says. Last year, a report by Lumos warned that charitable givers from the US who believed they are helping orphans in Haiti could be funding places where children were at risk of abuse. More than a third of Haiti's orphanages are funded by donations from abroad. \"One of the things that Lumos has taught me is be very, very careful how you give,\" JK Rowling said after the report's launch. She said \"very, very well-meaning donors\" are \"inadvertently propping up a system that we know, with nearly 80 years of hard research, shows that even a well-run institution, even an institution set up with the best possible intentions, will irrevocably harm the child\". Lumos is now expanding its work into new countries, including Colombia. \"We are really confident that by 2050 at the latest there will be no more children in institutions anywhere in the world,\" says Ms Mulheir.

The announcement comes as carriers around the world have been hit hard by measures to tackle the pandemic. Earlier this month, Emirates told the BBC it is set to cut as many as 9,000 jobs. \"We know people are yearning to fly as borders around the world gradually re-open, but they are seeking flexibility and assurances should something unforeseen happen during their travel,\" Emirates Group Chairman Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum said in a statement. Emirates, the world's biggest long-haul carrier, said the offer is valid for 31 days from the start of a passenger's journey and will be available immediately and run until the end of October. The coverage is free to all customers regardless of class of travel or destination and is applied automatically with no need to register. The Dubai-based carrier said the insurance would cover medical expenses of up to €150,000 (£137,000; $176,500). It will also pay for the cost of quarantining in a hotel for up to two weeks at €100 per day. In the event of a passenger's death due to Covid-19 the insurance cover will provide €1,500 towards the cost of their funeral. Fear of flying Air travel has slumped this year as countries shut their borders and people remain concerned about potentially becoming infected on flights or while travelling. The cancelation or postponement of major events - including the Olympic Games in Japan, industry conferences and music festivals - has also had a major impact on demand for flights. Last month the International Air Transport Association (IATA) warned that 2020 will go down as the \"worst\" on record financially. The global industry group said the plunge in travel caused by the coronavirus will drive airline losses of more than $84bn (£65bn) this year, as revenues fall by 50% compared to 2019. The collapse in demand has already forced carriers around the world to cut flights and layoff or furlough tens of thousands of workers. Less than three weeks ago, the president of Emirates told the BBC that his company is set to cut as many as 9,000 jobs because of the pandemic. Tim Clark said the airline had already cut a tenth of its staff but said: \"We will probably have to let go of a few more, probably up to 15%.\" Prior to the crisis, Emirates had 60,000 staff. It was the first time that the Middle Eastern carrier had disclosed how many jobs it would cut.",

            "input": "Stretching for more than 2,500km (1,500 miles), the Mariana Trench is a very narrow, very deep crack in the ocean floor. At its deepest, it reaches nearly 11km (seven miles) down - making it the lowest point in our oceans. Once, its record-breaking depth was thought to be the only interesting thing about the trench, but now scientists are beginning to think otherwise. Jim Gardner, from the US Centre for Coastal and Ocean Mapping (CCOM), says: \"Trenches are becoming much more focused in the scientific community.\" The geologist has spent the past five years creating the most detailed survey of the Mariana Trench to date. And he says that finding out more about the inner workings of these deep-sea spots is vital. There are more than 20 trenches like the Mariana around the world, but most are in the Pacific Ocean. They are formed at the boundary of two tectonic plates, where very heavy oceanic crust (in the case of the Mariana Trench, the Pacific Plate) dives underneath lighter continental plate - a process called subduction. But geologists now think these seismically active zones could play a central role in some earthquakes. Dr Gardner explains: \"It's where the two tectonic plates are grinding together. \"So seamounts (underwater mountains) that rest passively on the top of the Pacific Plate get jammed underneath in the trench or scraped up on the inner wall. \"And if they get jammed underneath, some theories suggest that they cause the big major earthquakes, like the recent ones in Japan or Indonesia.\" Gelatinous creatures Biologists are also shedding light on the deep ocean. Dr Alan Jamieson, from Oceanlab at the University of Aberdeen, has been using simple contraptions to explore the bottoms of trenches. He uses steel, tripod-shaped landers that are kitted out with cameras and then loads them up with some bait. They then drop to to the bottom of the ocean, where they sit for hours recording any creatures tempted by an easy meal. \"When we started this, we thought that anything we did find would be in relatively low numbers, probably pale in colour and just trying to eke out an existence in the deep,\" says Dr Jamieson. \"But we have found lots of activity even at the very deepest sites.\" With this set up, he has been able to record a remarkable array of life, from amphipods - prawn-like creatures that can reach more than 30cm (12in) long - to bright pink, gelatinous fish. He is now studying the physiology of these creatures to find out how they can survive in a place where the pressure is 1,000 times greater than at sea level, the temperature is just above 0C, and they are shrouded in total darkness. Carbon sink But if the life that is found in the deep is of interest, so is what happens as it dies. As the organic matter from dead marine flora and fauna sinks to the bottom of the sea, it is hemmed in by the steep walls of the trench. A study published last year found that because of this, more carbon accumulates at the bottom of trenches than in other parts of the ocean. And this suggests that the deep sea might play a bigger role in the carbon cycle, and therefore in regulating the Earth's climate, than was previously thought. Researchers are now trying to find out how much carbon is sinking - or being \"subducted\" - beneath the sediment and how much is being recycled by bacteria to assess how much carbon is being taken out of the atmosphere. But although scientists are starting to unlock the secrets of the deep, oceanographer Sylvia Earle says there is still much work to do. \"I'm sad to say that here we are at the beginning of the 21st Century, and we know more about other parts of the Solar System than we do our own ocean. \"We have better maps of the Moon, Mars and Jupiter than we do about our own ocean floor,\" she says. Man or machine? She believes the very deepest parts of the ocean have been the most neglected. Most of the sea floor lies between 4,000m and 6,000m (13,000-20,000ft) below sea level: a layer known as the abyssal zone. But trenches, although few in number, are twice as deep, and they occupy an area called the Hadal Zone. She says: \"That last little bit only accounts for maybe 3% of the ocean. Well think about it - that's an area the size of Australia, North America, or China - and we're ignoring it?\" Dr Earle is the former science chief for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration - or Noaa - the ocean's equivalent of the US space agency, Nasa. But she is frustrated that the seas have always been the poor relation to space. She explains: \"A fraction of what we invest in going skyward would answer some major questions about this part of the Solar System.\" There is currently some debate within the scientific community over the best way to explore the deepest parts of the ocean. Some researchers, such as Dr Earle, believe that manned missions are the only way to really get a grasp of what lies in this underwater world. Others though say that landers and a new breed of autonomous underwater robots, such as Nereus at the Woods Hole Institute for Oceanography in Massachusetts, can bring back much more data. Dr Jamieson thinks unmanned exploration is the way forward for science. But he does hope that the publicity surrounding the forthcoming dives might generate some excitement and interest in the oceans. He says: \"Any kind of high-profile event would be fantastic, we hope this will raise the profile of the trenches. \"The trenches have always suffered from this kind of anthropocentric opinion: that the further away it is from human activity it is the less important it is, that it's just some kind of deep, dark realm that could be ignored. He adds: \"But the fact is, the more we look at it, the more we find the trenches are just as relevant as anywhere else in the ocean. \"And ultimately, ocean conservation is everything, from the surface to the very deepest point.\"",

            "input": "By Tom EspinerBusiness reporter, BBC News But initial indications do not look good. The UK's competition watchdog has said the proposed tie-up could push up prices and cut choice for customers. The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) said it was \"likely to be difficult\" for the chains to \"address the concerns\". The CMA also said the merger could lead to a \"poorer shopping experience\". Should the deal go through in spite of those concerns, the combined group would knock Tesco off its perch as the UK's biggest supermarket chain. Sainsbury's and Asda - which is owned by US retail giant Walmart - are the second and third largest supermarket chains in the UK. Why do the companies want to get together? The UK's grocery market is fiercely competitive. Sainsbury's and Asda are looking to respond to pressure from discounters such as Aldi and Lidl, to be more competitive against Tesco, and to be able to counter online threats such as the rise of food delivery apps and Amazon. Richard Lim, chief executive of research consultancy Retail Economics, says the \"biggest driver here is about scale\". For example, by combining their businesses, the firms can push for the lowest prices from suppliers. The idea is that if one supermarket is paying 10p for a tin of beans, while the other is paying 11p, both supermarkets would now be able to pay the lower price. Sainsbury's expects to make cost savings of £350m just from this kind of \"price harmonisation\", Mr Lim says. However, MPs have warned it would not be easy to get the big suppliers to agree to this, meaning thousands of small suppliers could get squeezed. Chief executive Mike Coupe has said Sainsbury's would seek to make the savings from large suppliers, which provide the majority of its goods, rather than squeezing small suppliers. What will it mean for the price of food? The supermarkets have pledged that as a result of the merger, prices would drop \"by around 10% on many of the products customers buy regularly\". Mr Lim says that, assuming Brexit goes smoothly, Sainsbury's and Asda would be able to pass cost savings on to consumers. However, critics have pointed out that Sainsbury's has not laid out which products would see falls in price, over what time scale, and exactly where the savings are going to come from. The most detail Sainsbury's has given was when Mr Coupe told the Environment Food and Rural Affairs Select Committee: \"We will lower the prices of everyday items. It's 18 months in the future, it's a very competitive market. It is impossible to speculate exactly about what those items will be, but they will be the kinds of things that people buy week in, week out: tinned tomatoes, pasta.\" What will it mean for jobs? Gary Carter of the GMB union says members are \"worried and stressed\" due to uncertainty about their positions. \"People don't know what the merger will bring,\" he says. \"We've had a lot of comments from people: 'Will I have a job?', 'Will I be made redundant?', 'If I have a new job, who will my new employer be?'\" Asda employees are also wondering whether they would get pay parity with Sainsbury's colleagues, who get higher wages, he says. Mr Lim thinks it's inevitable that there will be job losses as the two firms combine operations. \"In the end it's inevitable to have fewer people working in the combined unit,\" he says. \"The motivation [for the merger] is driving down costs.\" Will the companies need to sell stores? A merger between Sainsbury's and Asda, who plan to keep their brands separate, could potentially create a retail giant with more than 2,800 shops in the UK. The CMA launched its investigation into the proposed deal in August 2018. If it decides the merger can go ahead, it is likely to say that the two retailers must sell a certain number of stores to competitors. But the number of stores they have to get rid of, and how profitable those stores are, will determine whether the deal will turn out to be viable. Estimates range from between 70 to 300 stores that would have to be offered for sale. As part of its investigation, the CMA is looking at how closely Sainsbury's and Asda would compete with each other in stores and online, and whether competition from other retailers would be stifled. The scope of the investigation includes groceries, fuel, toys, electrical goods and children's clothing, and it is also looking at the impact on supermarkets' power over suppliers. Now that the CMA has published its provisional findings, supermarkets and other interested parties will be able to comment before the final decision. Chief executive Mike Coupe has described the CMA's analysis as \"fundamentally flawed\" and said the firm will be making \"very strong representations\" to it about its \"inaccuracy and lack of objectivity\". The supermarkets could decide to appeal against the final decision, should it go against them.",

Concerns were raised that any such visit could require at least 5,000 officers to police, costing Scotland's national force up to £5m. However, Treasury Secretary Liz Truss has now confirmed that money would be made available for policing any visit. Scottish Justice Secretary Humza Yousaf had written to UK counterparts saying it would be \"completely unacceptable\" for the Scottish government to carry the costs of policing the visit. It is thought that President Trump may visit at least one of his golf courses in Ayrshire and Aberdeenshire. Mr Trump's mother was born on the Isle of Lewis, and he made several visits to his \"ancestral home\" before he became president. He last visited Trump Turnberry in June 2016 - on the day after the EU referendum - on his first foreign trip as the Republican presidential candidate. That trip was the subject of a small protest, but if he travels to Scotland much larger rallies are expected in a number of locations now that he is in office - all of which would need to be policed. Police Scotland is working on \"extensive operational planning\" for a visit by the president, with interim Chief Constable Iain Livingstone warning the Scottish Police Authority that \"we will have to utilise over 5,000 conventional officers, along with public order officer, specialised search and firearms resources\". Writing to Home Secretary Sajid Javid, Mr Yousaf cited the 2005 G8 summit in Gleneagles, when the UK government paid £20m towards policing costs. In a letter replying to Mr Yousaf, Ms Truss stressed that \"the final details of the president's visit to the UK, including Scotland, are still to be confirmed\". She wrote: \"As you are aware, policing is a devolved matter in Scotland. \"However, on an exceptional basis, I can confirm that the Treasury would provide ring-fenced funding of up to £5m to cover the costs incurred by Police Scotland should a visit from the president be confirmed.\" Mr Yousaf welcomed the move, while Mr Livingstone said it was a \"fair outcome\" - adding that \"detailed planning continues\" in \"another busy and demanding summer\" for the force.

The company said the increase was \"an almost inevitable result\" of the drop in the oil price and the consequent cancellation of projects worldwide. It estimates some $200bn (£140bn) worth of projects were cancelled last year. Moore Stephens said the rise in oil and gas firm insolvencies was in stark contrast to 2010, when just four firms went bust in the 12 months to the end of September. \"Oil and gas service companies expanded their businesses over the last decade based on an oil price well above the current one. \"The pain caused by the oil price fall has translated into a rising tide of financial distress across the sector,\" said Moore Stephens head of restructuring and insolvency, Jeremy Willmont. The figures from Moore Stephens come just days after oil services giant Schlumberger said it had cut 10,000 jobs in the past three months amid the plunge in oil prices. Norwegian company DNV GL, an industry consultant, said its survey of 921 senior industry players showed the majority believed the industry was repeating the same mistakes of previous downturns, with 56% concerned over loss of jobs and experience. Nearly three quarters of those it surveyed said they were preparing their company for a sustained period of low oil prices. Opec resolute Law firm Pinsent Masons said its survey showed that many of those in the oilfield services industry were hoping to capitalise on the drop in oil prices by buying up distressed firms. In total, 70% of the 200 senior executives it surveyed were actively considering an acquisition within the next year, it found. Oil prices have fallen by 70% in the past 15 months. The drop in the price of oil has been driven by oversupply, mainly due to US shale oil flooding the market. At the same time, demand has fallen because of a slowdown in economic growth in China and Europe. Historically, Opec has cut production to support prices. But led by Saudi Arabia, by far the group's most powerful member, the group has resolutely refused to trim supply this time. Many analysts have slashed their 2016 oil price forecasts, with Morgan Stanley analysts saying that \"oil in the $20s is possible.\" Economists at the Royal Bank of Scotland say that oil could fall to $16, while Standard Chartered predicts that prices could hit just $10 a barrel.",

Donalda MacKinnon, BBC Scotland director, said there had never been any intention to stop coverage. She added that \"other voices and perspectives\" would now feature alongside the FM's weekday briefings. In an email to staff, Ms MacKinnon explained: \"We've said now that we'll look at the briefings in the round - meaning we'll broadcast them live on TV when we are in a period of the pandemic when there is significant public information being shared, such as new measures being introduced and implemented, rising rates of cases, a three weekly review update or other public information.\" The first minister had said that it was a matter for the BBC to decide what it broadcast, but she believed that her \"ability to communicate directly with the public has never been more important\". The possibility that not every briefing would be covered live on BBC One Scotland and the BBC Scotland channel prompted criticism from Donald Macaskill of Scottish Care, the body which represents independent care homes. However, the Scottish Conservatives claimed that at times Ms Sturgeon had used the daily briefings as a political platform to criticise the UK government. 'News and views' A spokesman at the corporation said that while there continued to be major developments in the pandemic in Scotland the BBC would \"over the coming weeks - and as we have done this week - look to cover the Scottish government health briefings live on TV\". In addition to continued live TV programming, there would be \"significant\" coverage of the briefings on TV news bulletins, radio and online. The spokesman added: \"As we said last week, such decisions will always be made on the basis of editorial judgment and listening to our audiences. \"We will always take full account of how the pandemic continues to evolve to inform that judgment. \"Our coverage of coronavirus and public health issues in Scotland will continue to incorporate a range of voices and perspectives, and this will be further enhanced as part of our ongoing coverage of the Scottish government briefings. \"This will allow us to bring news and views from around Scotland and beyond, involving politicians from across the political spectrum, as well as commentators, analysts and other experts. \"We remain committed to having this broad coverage of voices and perspectives across all our news outlets on television, radio and online.\"",

It came after \"vociferous opposition\" from some Cardiff fans. The chairman, known as TG, said an investment strategy said to be worth £100m would now be reassessed. But he warned in a statement that the club could not afford to continue losing money. He said it was \"unfortunate\" the proposals were leaked before being finalised by the board, and said the proposed colour change would not proceed. TG added there was never any plan to change the club's name, but confirmed that there had been discussions about the crest and home colours. The plans were said to be designed to increase revenue, which would in turn allow manager Malky Mackay to strengthen the playing squad, improve training facilities and increase the stadium capacity. Former Wales and Cardiff striker Ian Walsh said the reaction from some fans was \"over the top\" and hopes the Malaysians will maintain their interest in the club. \"The game economically is on its backside and without finance, you've got no chance,\" he told BBC Wales. \"These guys had a plan, they looked at the situation. They plough allegedly over £1m a month just to keep the club going. 'Outburst' \"There are no other investors with that type of money in the locality that are going to survive the club at that level.\" He added: \"Everybody went overboard with that outburst of feeling from some Cardiff City fans. \"There's a new rule coming in next year that you can only spend a certain percentage of your turnover - they were trying to generate turnover to promote Cardiff City globally. \"You have you have money and this would've been their way forward. \"I sincerely hope the Malaysians take a breath, listen to Cardiff City fans that want to see the club go forward, get together and make Cardiff City a Premier League club.\" TG's comments about reassessing the investment strategy led to a warning from one finance expert who said City fans have to agree a compromise between \"tradition and commercial reality\" if the club is to clear its debts. Geoff Mesher, a partner at Grant Thornton, said the club's financial position has \"not been great\" with big debts still to clear. He added that the \"risk is owners reassess what they are putting in the club\" if they could not raise money through mechanise in new markets. Proposals for a colour change to the traditional blue shirts and bluebird logo sparked a fierce debate and split supporters' opinions.

Last month's killing of the unarmed man, who died in his grandmother's backyard, sparked a national outcry. Clark, 22, was holding his phone when he was shot eight times by police. Police say their officers opened fire on 18 March because they thought that Clark had pointed a gun at them. An independent post-mortem examination concluded that he was shot eight times, and six of those bullets struck him in the back. The release of 54 new video and audio clips on Monday shows the massive police response to the shooting. It includes police dashboard and body camera footage from the scene, audio of two 911 calls and footage from a Sacramento County Sheriff's Department helicopter. After firing 20 shots at Clark - who was suspected of breaking car windows and thought to be armed - police waited to determine if he was playing dead. \"He have a gun?\" one male officer is heard saying on the released recordings. \"I don't see it,\" another said. \"He hasn't moved at all.\" A moment later they shouted out to Clark: \"Hey! Can you hear us?\" \"Police department, can you hear us?\" another male officer said. \"We need to know if you're OK,\" a female officer said, according to the bodycam footage. \"We need to get you medics but we can't go over to get you help unless we know you're, you don't have your weapon.\" A female officer then told a colleague to bring a non-lethal weapon, \"in case he's pretending\". They are later seen performing chest compressions on Clark, who appeared to be in handcuffs. Police spokesman Sgt Vance Chandler said the department would investigate whether officers responded quickly enough in medical aid. One of the 911 calls appeared to come from Clark's grandfather. The male caller told the police dispatcher that someone was in his backyard \"beating on my window and I don't know what's going on\". He said he was unable to get out of bed for a closer view. A woman in the background was heard saying \"he has no legs\". Clark's grandfather, Tommy Thompson, lost his legs due to diabetes, a family relative told the Associated Press. Family say it was typical for relatives to knock on the back window so Mr Thompson could use a remote to open the garage door to let them in. Three new body camera videos show responding officers asking others if they have muted their microphones, a move which sparked renewed criticism of the department. The two officers who shot Clark muted their microphones moments after, earlier video showed. \"All of the muting related to this incident, that will be part of our investigation, looking at why the body-worn cameras were muted and if it was appropriate,\" Sgt Chandler told the Sacramento Bee newspaper. The department now bans officers from muting their cameras in most situations. More on Stephon Clark US shooting protesters storm city meeting US police shooting protest shuts arena",

His new local authority refused him a local social worker as he already had one, his mother has claimed. The Children's Commissioner for England said children were \"being failed\" by not getting the protection needed. Anne Longfield told BBC South East Today it was \"sadly a familiar story\" that children involved in gangs and county lines were \"lost as they moved around the country\". \"Their cases aren't picked up, information isn't passed on, and those children just drop through the net and are exposed to serious danger.,\" she said. \"It's extremely worrying and it's extremely urgent that this is something that is addressed by children's services and the police both locally and nationally.\" 'Wouldn't pick his case up' So-called county lines cases see urban gangs expanding their drug dealing activities into rural areas, often using young people as mules. They usually have links to locations across the country so it is not easy to just move away. The teenager had originally been identified as a child in need and assigned a social worker but his mother, identified only as Sarah, said the local authority in the new area \"wouldn't pick his case up\". \"The social worker in the old area wouldn't commit to the commute to come and visit - the statutory visits he was supposed to [make] - so we were just left high and dry,\" she said. Ms Longfield said: \"If a child is on a register with social services and they have an open case there is a process there that should be followed, so social workers should be working together. \"I want there to be a mechanism, both locally and nationally, that reaches out and identifies which children are at risk and has the right support there to be able to protect them.\" The councils involved have been approached by the BBC for comment.

But now the village of two halves, on the border between Powys and Shropshire, is changing sides. Residents have said the border village was \"forgotten\" by authorities. Bob Hedley moved to Llanymynech 14 years ago and runs the Bradford Arms Hotel on the English side of the border, which runs \"about four feet\" in front of his door. He closed his doors on Wednesday for a month alongside another pub, The Cross Keys, just as The Dolphin - visible from the Bradford Arms - prepared to reopen on Monday. On the Welsh side of the village, pubs have been closed during the fortnight-long \"firebreak\" to stem the spread of coronavirus. Mr Hedley said he was not too concerned about losing customers to his Welsh neighbour, joking that \"if you run it by the rules, their addresses would be in England so they shouldn't be going to The Dolphin anyway\". Just over 1,600 people live in Llanymynech and the publican, originally from Northumbria, said the village's community spirit had limited what could otherwise be a rivalry between the businesses. If he cannot accommodate guests in his B&B he sends them over the road to Wales and vice versa. John Turner, the landlord at The Dolphin, lives above his pub and has looked across the road to his rivals as they welcomed customers for the past two weeks. \"This is the first time we've been able to open before them,\" he said. \"The tables have turned.\" When the firebreak comes to an end on Monday, the rules in Wales will have changed slightly again and Mr Turner predicts \"hassle\". \"If there's a Mrs Jones from England and a Mrs Jones from Wales, I haven't got a clue which side of the village they live,\" he said. \"It's not going to be for me to police it.\" Mr Turner is ready to reopen on Monday but expected things would not be too different to how he was operating before the firebreak. \"We'll do things as well as we can,\" he said. \"We're going to be really quite strict.\" There was no need to share surplus pints as Mr Hedley, anticipating the announcement, had just been ordering \"a trickle of kegs\" and \"had a couple of customers helping me finish off our real ale\" before lockdown came into force on Thursday. Jokes aside, Mr Hedley said people on the border had been forgotten by authorities and thought there should not be a difference in rules across the UK. \"Nobody takes into consideration split villages,\" he said. \"We've had no guidance from Shropshire or Powys councils. \"It's not the Six Nations - it should be one set of rules for the United Kingdom.\" The divide in the village has also thrown up problems for Sunday's Remembrance service. A church service at St Agatha's to be attended by just 30 people was arranged but the village church is in England and will no longer be able to open under the new lockdown restrictions. The war memorial, however, is in Wales so the committee have instead arranged a short service outside, with one person at a time permitted to lay a wreath - which would have been allowed if the memorial was on the English side of the border. \"We had to do a little re-adjusting,\" the Reverend Kathy Trimby said, \"but no barrier is insurmountable.\" Even though Welsh parishioners will no longer be in lockdown, and Ms Trimby, who lives in Pant, will also not be locked down, services will not be permitted in the church as only the churchyard boundary in technically in Wales. However England's second lockdown is different to its first, and while services are a no-go, the doors will remain open for private worship, the vicar said. Although, to complicate things further, the Welsh government has banned travel to England without \"a reasonable excuse\". \"We have been endeavouring to keep in touch with parishioners,\" Ms Trimby said. \"We want them to feel a part of things regardless of what side of the border they are. \"We're a scattered but united church.\" The church posts daily prayers on its Facebook page and physically delivers printed versions for people not on social media. \"The internet is a wonderful thing,\" Ms Trimby said, adding that services and meetings over Zoom had been trialled - something the church has also been considering for Christmas. \"We are working on two plans for Christmas,\" she said - in case restrictions were not lifted in England as planned on 2 December. \"Particularly at times like these, people need something even of the familiar, even if it's done in a slightly unfamiliar way. Like Mr Hedley, Ms Trimby said \"in an ideal world everything would be equal\" across the UK's borders. \"But we don't live in a perfect world, we have to do what we can in our small corner to work within the parameters.\" Follow BBC West Midlands on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

Stuart, from Midlothian, says loneliness and a lack of a support network were big factors in his return to drugs. Before the pandemic he had attended meetings and recovery cafes but they were closed because of restrictions on close contact. \"When I got a bit of mental pain and discomfort, my only option, I felt at the time, was to use,\" he says. He adds that he found himself \"stuck\" in the community among people who were using drink and drugs. \"I was miserable and I was at the lowest I've ever felt in my life,\" he says. \"I didn't think that was possible because I went into the treatment centre last year completely broken, and believed that I was done, but then I ended up in that much pain in the lockdown that I dealt with it through using because there wasn't any other support available.\" Stuart recognised his problems and says he thought to himself: \"If I can't get help by being offered treatment in a rehab centre soon, I'm going to have to think about making plans to end my life.\" He wanted to go back into the treatment centre he had been to before but the waiting list was two years. Instead he got a referral to Phoenix Futures, an abstinence-based rehab programme in Glasgow. \"I didn't want to come here, but it was need over want,\" he says. \"I came here just to get out of the community, off the streets and to be safe.\" His previous rehab had been a 12-step treatment centre, a different method to the therapeutic model at Phoenix. Manager David says it is an abstinence-based programme and it designed to be a community, where residents help each other towards recovery. He says: \"We don't have any gardening staff, cleaning staff, kitchen staff - it's the community members that run this place.\" Stuart says that at first it felt slower than the previous treatment and was not as strong in challenging people's behaviour. He says he went in with the intention to detox and go home but as time went on he felt the treatment was working for him. Stuart says that when he first came back to treatment he had felt \"very resentful\" towards himself and thought he was a failure. \"I felt like I'd messed up really badly. It felt like I'd ruined my life,\" he says. \"But I realised that coming back to treatment, it's not failure, it's refusal to be beaten and defeated and resign myself to a life in active addiction. \"Coming back is being proactive and trying to better myself and better my life.\" Phoenix is a charity but funding for the six-month treatment comes from Stuart's local authority. Stuart says it is going so well that he has been given \"house manager\" responsibilities. \"It didn't come without having to work on myself first, a lot of behaviours and negative attitudes and stuff like that,\" he says. \"I get to support everyone within the community, and I get the support back in return, so it's great.\" The next step for Stuart is supported housing, where he should still be able to get access to aftercare services. His advice to people in need of help is to ask. He says: \"I don't think it's quite advertised enough for people about what help is available - and if you just walk off the street and ask, you will get the help that you need.\"",

While 324 synod members voted for women bishops, Church voting rules mean 122 votes against were enough to block it. However, the Archbishop of York said the principle had been accepted. Dr Williams addressed the synod on Wednesday morning, the day after the ruling body had rejected legislation that would have paved the way for women bishops within two years. He said: \"The temptation to run around saying, 'What do we do? Who do we blame?' today is going to be strong. I hope that we will try and hold back from simple recrimination in all this. \"The work to do internally is considerable - but, it's tempting to say, that is as nothing compared with the work we have to do externally. We have, to put it very bluntly, a lot of explaining to do.\" He went on: \"Whatever the motivations for voting yesterday, whatever the theological principle on which people acted and spoke, the fact remains that a great deal of this discussion is not intelligible to our wider society - worse than that, it seems that we are wilfully blind to some of the trends and priorities in that wider society.\" A Downing Street spokesman said the prime minister thought there should be women bishops and was disappointed at the result of the vote, but that it was \"a matter for the Church to decide\". Unity The key concerns of opponents within the Church are over provisions for traditionalist parishes opposed to women bishops to request supervision by a stand-in male bishop. Critics of the legislation said it did not provide enough safeguards for the objectors. Lay member Alison Ruoff said she had voted against the ordination of women bishops in order to keep the Church together. \"There are hundreds of churches in the Church of England which are standing with us and we were doing what was right for them - it's not just me,\" she said. \"This is to make sure that we can walk together as one Church of England - a broad Church, yes, but we want to be there without splits, without divisions.\" The Rev Prebendary Rod Thomas, chairman of the conservative evangelical grouping Reform, said: \"We have avoided what could have been a disastrous mistake for our unity and witness.\" But the Archbishop of York, Dr John Sentamu, insisted: \"There will be women bishops in my lifetime. \"The principle has already been accepted by the general synod. It has already been accepted by all the dioceses,\" he told BBC Radio 4's Today programme on Wednesday. \"So what we need to do is find the legislation - 99.9% of the legislation is there - it's this little business of provision for those who are opposed.\" Church rules state that the measure cannot be brought back before the synod \"in the same form\" during the current term, ending in 2015. But Dr Sentamu said he hoped the Church's \"Group of Six\" senior officials - the two archbishops and senior clergy and lay representatives - would meet and find a way to revisit the issue before then. \"I believe what was rejected yesterday were not women bishops; what was rejected was the legislation - some people felt it was not good enough,\" he added. The proposed legislation paving the way for women bishops needed to gain two-thirds majority support in each of the synod's three houses - bishops, clergy and laity - but fell short by six votes in the House of Laity. The result was greeted with emotion, with some supporters of women bishops in tears. The Bishop of Durham, Justin Welby, who is the next Archbishop of Canterbury and a supporter of women bishops, tweeted overnight: \"Very grim day, most of all for women priests and supporters, need to surround all with prayer & love and co-operate with our healing God.\" 'Betrayed' The House of Bishops is meeting on Wednesday morning to \"consider the consequences of the vote\", the Church's media office said. The Bishop of Norwich, the Right Reverend Graham James, said those Church members who were in favour of women bishops, but who had voted against the move because of concerns over the provisions for traditionalist parishes, were central to finding a solution. \"There's a very big challenge, I think, to those who voted against but actually pledged themselves to see in what way they could move forward so that women can be bishops in the Church of England,\" he said. The House of Laity is the largest element of the general synod and is made up of lay members of the Church elected by its 44 dioceses. The votes were 44 for and three against with two abstentions in the House of Bishops, 148 for and 45 against in the House of Clergy, and 132 for and 74 against in the House of Laity. Christina Rees, a synod member who has spent 20 years campaigning for women bishops, said: \"It feels as if the House of Laity betrayed the entire Church of England last night. \"The people, the sort of extremes in our Church - the very conservative evangelicals and very traditionalist Anglo-Catholics - have no idea how this will be read by most people.\" She said she thought that, to most people, \"this just looks like blatant discrimination\".

Leah Hicklin, who lives on the top floor of the eight-storey block, said she and her four-year-old daughter had to leave with nothing but their pyjamas. \"It was terrifying to be perfectly honest,\" she said. \"There were people we didn't know, masked up saying 'What's your name and where are you going?' \"I think people are annoyed at being woken up and displaced, but it is what it is, you can't help a gas leak.\" One resident told the BBC her family did not have time to collect any belongings, while another said: \"We got a bang on the door at half past two, telling us to pack our bags and get out as quickly as possible.\" Det Ch Supt Steve Rayland said the incident had caused \"huge disruption to hundreds of people on a cold January morning\". He added: \"The exact cause of the gas leak is yet to be determined but not believed to be criminal.\" Dan Brown, from SGN, said engineers had found the source of the leak - a broken pipe - and repairs had been made. He said the team was expected to remain on site throughout the day to carry out safety checks, and monitor gas readings inside the block. The flats had to be fully ventilated before residents could return, he added. Crawley council asked residents from the lower ground and ground floors to get in touch as soon as possible so those areas could be checked. Some residents stayed with friends or family overnight, while others were placed in hotels by the council. Local ward councillor Tina Belben said they could not open up a rescue centre because of Covid-19 restrictions. On Wednesday, a spokesman for Crawley council said: \"Following final gas safety checks by SGN, we're pleased to say that the gas emergency at Milton Mount has now ended. \"It is safe for residents with keys to return to Milton Mount Flats. However, we can't guarantee that your electricity and boiler will be working if you return tonight. You are welcome to return home or remain at your hotel.\" He said some keys would have to be returned on Thursday and people should not return without keys. He also urged people to stay Covid-safe and not to rush back in order to keep the number of people in communal areas low.

[or] 'She's openly Irish',\" he added. Scott played the forbidden love of interest of Phoebe Waller-Bridge's title character in series two of Fleabag and said his sexuality made no difference to his ability to play the role. \"Sexuality isn't something you can cultivate, particularly,\" added Scott, who first found global fame starring as crime lord Jim Moriarty, opposite Benedict Cumberbatch in Sherlock. \"It isn't a talent. You believe the relationship, that's my job.\" Analysis by Ben Hunte, LGBT Correspondent Andrew Scott's feelings about the phrase 'openly gay' are shared by many gay men and women. Many queer and LGBT individuals are now happy to not let their sexuality or gender define them, choosing instead to be less vocal about their identity. The concept of being 'openly gay' leans on stereotypes of sexuality being hidden and closeted. This was the reality of daily life for many generations of LGBT people, but things are now changing. There is a hope within the community that as LGBT lives become more usual and mainstream, the need for people to 'come out' will lessen to the point where it is no longer necessary. Of course, this is still a personal choice. There is also a real sense that just because a person is lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender, they should not be made to feel like they have to be an activist fighting for their LGBT rights. Forty two-year-old Scott was recently spotted handing out drinks to theatre-goers outside the London stage production of the popular BBC Three series over the weekend, alongside its writer and star. He also spoke of his great love of theatre, having completed a recent run of Noel Coward's Present Laughter at the Old Vic. \"You direct yourself. Of course there's a director, but in the auditorium, if you feel the audience is getting a little coughy, you've got to think 'Well, it's my job to get them back'.\" Scott was recently honoured with the standout performance prize at the GQ Men of the Year Awards 2019.

Britain is looking to sell Typhoon jets to Dubai and Saudi Arabia, despite allegations of human rights abuses. Mr Cameron said countries had a right to self-defence and promoting UK business was \"completely legitimate\". The prime minister is hoping to increase defence co-operation with the United Arab Emirates, including contingency plans for the possible basing of RAF warplanes if conflict erupts with Iran, says BBC security correspondent Frank Gardner. 'Respect and friendship' He added that Mr Cameron's visit came amid signs of strained relations with Gulf states. His Arab hosts, while publicly welcoming the prime minister, have their own issues they want to address with him. They have told the BBC that in the wake of the Arab Spring they worry Britain risks confusing democracy and human rights movements with revolutionaries who, they say, want to replace the current monarchies with Islamic republics. They have hinted that Britain risks losing out on major contracts in future, but human rights groups want the British government to put more pressure on Gulf rulers to speed up democratic reforms. Both the UAE and Saudi Arabia have been criticised for alleged abuses, but they have rejected these criticisms. They have warned that if Britain continues to support calls for reform prompted by anti-government activists they will increasingly give lucrative deals to Asian partners instead. Speaking in Dubai, Mr Cameron said: \"On human rights, there are no no-go areas in this relationship. \"We discuss all of these things but we also show respect and friendship to a very old ally and partner. \"We have one of the strictest regimes anywhere in the world for sales of defence equipment but we do believe that countries have a right to self-defence and we do believe that Britain has important defence industries that employ over 300,000 people so that sort of business is completely legitimate and right.\" It is Mr Cameron's second visit to the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia as prime minister. No 10 says the UK is looking to sell about 100 Typhoon jets to the UAE and Saudi Arabia as well as building closer defence and security ties. 'Global economic race' A number of RAF Typhoons are already in the UAE for a joint training session. The prime minister is expected to push for the UAE to buy 60 of BAE's Typhoon jets in a deal worth £3bn, which would secure thousands of jobs in the UK. He said British exports to the country were up 16% in the first half of the year and it was vital to be involved in the fastest-growing economies in the world to compete in the \"global economic race\". The Gulf region's economies have been growing much more strongly than the UK's and other European countries, and the Foreign Office wants the UK to be \"the Gulf's commercial partner of choice\". \"It is not just about trade and investment,\" the prime minister said. \"We are also partners in defence and security, we worked together in Libya and Afghanistan and we will be talking about all the key regional and global issues.\" The UAE air force is shopping around for new planes to replace its ageing fleet of F-16s and Mirages and the Typhoon is up against the Rafale, made by the French company Dassault. During a question-and-answer session with students, Mr Cameron also warned that it would be a \"desperately bad development for our world\" if Iran gained nuclear weapons. Western governments say the country's uranium-enrichment programme is designed to this end, but the regime insists its aim is to set up civilian power stations, Mr Cameron said there was the possibility of a \"nuclear arms race\" across the Middle East, adding: \"The message we need to send to Iran is: there is a peaceful path; there is a path you could take that will remove the pariah status from your nation and that is to accept that you could have civil nuclear power but not military nuclear power and then we could have a proper discussion.\"",

On Tuesday, the foreign currency trader confirmed that it is the victim of a ransomware attack. The criminals behind the hack told the BBC they are demanding $6m (£4.6m) or company computer systems will be deleted and customer data sold online. Travelex says that there is no evidence customer data has been compromised. In response to the cyber-attack, which was first discovered on New Year's Eve, Travelex took all computer systems offline, affecting thousands of sites in dozens of countries. Cashiers have been resorting to using pen and paper to keep money moving at cash desks in airports and on high streets but orders online have been affected. Business partners which rely on Travelex for currency services, like Sainsbury's, Tesco and Virgin Money have also been affected. \"I ordered over £1,000 of euros from Tesco bank online for collection in my local Tesco store on 31 December, ready to be collected on 3 January,\" Ms Whiting told the BBC \"The money was taken from my account and an order confirmation was sent to me, but I went to Tesco to collect my euros last Friday to be told of the Travelex issue. \"I am now £1,000 out of pocket after saving up for so long and there's no information or help.\" Computers offline Travelex confirmed to the BBC that no direct communication had been sent to customers about the attack, partly because all the computer systems are offline. Visitors to the Travelex UK website are told that the site is down for \"planned maintenance\" and partner sites, including Sainsbury's travel money, have similar messages. Stephen Wright, from Banff in north-east Scotland, is also furious with the way the company is handling the incident. He said: \"I ordered euros on 23 December from Tesco bank. Delivery was due on 3 January but obviously, due to the problem with Travelex, nothing has yet arrived. \"There has been no communication from Tesco bank, so I called them. They simply say there is nothing they can do, that I must just wait until the problem is rectified, whenever that will be. \"I have been forced to purchase more euros elsewhere, leaving me considerably out of pocket.\" No ICO report A ransomware gang called Sodinokibi carried out the attack. The gang, also known as REvil, claims it first gained access to the company's computer network six months ago and has since downloaded 5 gigabytes of sensitive customer data. Dates of birth, credit card information and national insurance numbers are all in their possession, they claim. However, a Travelex spokeswoman said on Tuesday night in a statement: \"Whilst the investigation is still ongoing, Travelex has confirmed that the software virus is ransomware known as Sodinokibi, also commonly referred to as REvil.\" \"Travelex has proactively taken steps to contain the spread of the ransomware, which has been successful. To date, the company can confirm that whilst there has been some data encryption, there is no evidence that structured personal customer data has been encrypted. \"Whist Travelex does not yet have a complete picture of all the data that has been encrypted, there is still no evidence to date that any data has been exfiltrated.\" The Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) said it had not received a data breach report from Travelex. A spokeswoman added: \"Organisations must notify the ICO within 72 hours of becoming aware of a personal data breach unless it does not pose a risk to people's rights and freedoms. \"If an organisation decides that a breach doesn't need to be reported, they should keep their own record of it and be able to explain why it wasn't reported if necessary.\" Under General Data Protection Regulation, a company which fails to comply can face a maximum fine of 4% of its global turnover. The Metropolitan Police says its Cyber Crime team is leading the investigation into the attack. Travelex has not said whether or not they are negotiating with the hackers and have not given any timeframe for when normal service will resume.

            "input": "According to many people, both in Indonesia and abroad, Ba'asyir is or was the spiritual leader of Jemaah Islamiah (JI), a shadowy group with links to al-Qaeda. He has voiced support for al-Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden, though he denied having personal links with him or with any terrorist group. In March 2005, he was jailed for conspiracy over the 2002 Bali bombings, in which 202 people died - but his conviction was eventually quashed on appeal. In June this year judges jailed him for 15 years for supporting a militant training camp. It is the longest sentence he has yet received, but analysts are already questioning what effect it will have, because he can still preach his message from his jail cell. School founder Born in 1938, in East Java, Ba'asyir has spent decades teaching religion, and became influential among radical Muslims in South East Asia during the 1970s. The consistent theme of his teachings has been that Islamic communities are the necessary pre-condition for setting up an Islamic state. In 1972, he co-founded the Al-Mukmin Islamic boarding school in Ngruki, Central Java, with Abdullah Sangkar. Many graduates of the school have been implicated in Islamist militant attacks, and the International Crisis Group describes the school as the \"Ivy League\" for recruits to Jemaah Islamiah. In the late 1970s, he was jailed for subversion by authoritarian leader Suharto after he was accused of promoting an Islamic state. He later fled to Malaysia and lived in exile to avoid additional jail time, only returning to Indonesia following the fall of Suharto in 1998. Almost immediately he renewed his campaign for Indonesia to become a strict Sharia state. 'Evil conspiracy' Following the Bali bombings in 2002, Ba'asyir was arrested and accused in connection with a number of bomb attacks, including the attack on the Marriott Hotel in Jakarta in 2003, which killed 14 people. He was even accused of planning the assassination of Megawati Sukarnoputri, Indonesia's former president. But prosecutors struggled to make any of the charges stick. In October 2004, he was charged with involvement in the Bali and Marriott Hotel attacks. After a trial, judges ruled that he had not been directly involved in the attacks, but he had given his approval. He was sentenced to 30 months in jail for being part of an \"evil conspiracy\". Charges related to the Marriott attack were dismissed. He was released in June 2006, and had his conviction overturned by the Supreme Court six months later. The cleric has repeatedly denied all the charges against him, as well as any link with JI, and condemned the Bali bombing as a \"brutal act\". In May 2010, Ba'asyir returned to the spotlight when officers raided the headquarters of the Jemaah Ansharut Tauhid (JAT) - a group he had established in 2008. Three JAT members were arrested and accused of having links to a militant training camp in Aceh. The Aceh group - which included members of most of Indonesia's high-profile militant groups - was accused of plotting to form a militia capable of attacking high-level government targets, as a prelude to forming an Islamic state. On 9 August 2010, Ba'asyir was arrested in West Java by anti-terror police and accused of having links to the Aceh camp. He was convicted of providing funding to the camp and playing an active part in setting it up. He has always insisted he has no links with the training camp, and JAT has denied any connection to extremism, insisting it is a legitimate Islamic organisation.",

            "input": "By Leo KelionTechnology reporter Every day, it seems, another service joins the Bitcoin revolution, accepting payment in the so-called virtual currency. As its popularity has soared, so has its price. On Wednesday it breached the $1,000 (£614) mark on Japan's MtGox exchange for the first time. That's nearly five times the price it was at earlier in the month. Several reasons have been given for the surge: If all of that makes it sounds like more of an asset than a real currency, then that's probably because it's a fair description. Unlike \"real-world\" currencies, there is no central bank backing Bitcoin and anyone with a powerful enough computer can create one as part of a technique called \"mining\", which is used to process transactions. Understanding exactly how the Bitcoin system works is only marginally easier than tracking down its mysterious creator - Satoshi Nakamoto, the pseudonym used by the author or authors of the 2008 research paper that sparked its existence. And, in truth, interest in Bitcoin arguably outweighs its role in the wider economy, with the possible exception of the way it has facilitated illegal trades on underground sites such as the Silk Road. But what makes it important is what it tells us about the role virtual currencies might play in the years to come. On this point, however, there is a divide between those who think it is a fantasy destined for failure, and those who think it will underpin the future of finance. The BBC invited a Bitcoin advocate and a sceptic to explain their views: Mike Hearn, Bitcoin Core developer Why does Bitcoin have value? Over the past few years, I must have been asked this hundreds of times. I first used Bitcoin in April 2009, just a few months after it was first released to the world. Back then, it had no value at all - there were no users and no trade, no exchanges and thus no exchange rate. Now Bitcoin is reaching new heights thanks to a combination of speculation on future value and genuine, undeniable usefulness. Think about it: Why can it take days or weeks for banks to send money around the world, when an email travels in seconds? Does the money travel by steamboat? Are they loading gold bars onto the side of a camel and sending it over the mountains of Mongolia? Of course not. The real answer is depressing - banking is a stagnant market running on long-obsolete infrastructure, which improves only when forced to by government. Same day payments happened only after banks were dragged into the 19th century by the Office of Fair Trading. When Metro Bank opened in 2010, it received the first new UK banking licence issued in 150 years. Bitcoin has created a firestorm of excitement throughout the world because it's a new financial system, designed from scratch by the people, for the people. It's not only fast, cheap and easy. In Bitcoin, every participant has equal power. There are no bankers, because there are no banks. There are no banks because there is no need for them: People can control their own money. The rules of the system are enforced on everyone by each other. Not even the current software developers can tamper with it against the wishes of the users. With better technology comes new features. The web is powered by advertising because credit cards are too inefficient to pay for most content. Bitcoin enables micropayments - instead of ads, tiny fractions of a penny could flow from your browser directly to sites you visit, with no middleman fees making the scheme impractical. Crowdfunding doesn't need to be restricted to sites like Kickstarter, which have complex policies and fees - people can do it themselves. Even something as trivial as a child running a lemonade stand can now be made digital, because anyone with a smartphone can accept Bitcoin: No complicated merchant bank accounts are needed. Bitcoin is barely five years old. It has its problems - volatility, geekiness and an appeal to criminals come to mind. With your help the project can overcome these issues and change the world. Trade on! Dr Stephen Kinsella, University of Limerick Bitcoin is a beautiful example of what the psychoanalyst David Tuckett calls a \"fantastic object\" - unreal but immensely attractive. The Bitcoin experience accesses notions of stateless money, peer-to-peer exchange, and of course, no regulation or financial intermediation. The origin story is clever and cute, and just hard enough to understand to induce a belief in the stability of the supply of the bitcoins, leading to a rush for them now, as opposed to later. Bitcoin's value is dependent entirely on what you, the buyer, are willing to pay for it. If there were no users, there wouldn't be any value. Because it has no use value, only exchange value, Bitcoin can have literally any price, and so the market for Bitcoin is permanently in a bubble as a result. This bubble will form and burst many times, making and losing fortunes in the process. I'm Irish. I know exactly what crazy bubbles look like. The Bitcoin phenomenon is the purest manifestation of what Charles McKay described in his 1841 book Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds. At the psychological level of the investor, there's no difference between bitcoins, tulips, railways, or the stock market bubbles of the 1920s, 1990s, or the mid 2000s. In this case a lot of people are deciding a string of electrons are worth something, as opposed to nothing, and they want to sell it to the next guy as soon as possible. As long as you pass your Bitcoins on to the next guy while extracting a profit, you'll be happy. There is always a greater fool. Right up until the moment there isn't one. Economically, Bitcoin is nothing special. It's a speculative asset people are buying primarily to flip onto someone else. The \"money 2.0\" stuff is just marketing, and has been tried before, in the US in the 1850s during the free banking period, for example. As I've said elsewhere, this time really isn't different, but you can tweet about it. The fact Bitcoin isn't regulated is a big plus for some. As one Bitcoin promoter boasted to me recently- and he did this himself - you can move $1m worth of Bitcoin across a border on a Zip Drive and not be detected. The authorities won't allow this to last for long. Bitcoin's biggest boosters are also holding large amounts of the stuff, so beware, buyers. My colleague Karl Whelan has suggested Bitcoin may simply be competed out of existence by other services like LiteCoin, TerraCoin, and AllahCoin, or regulated by national and international governments if it becomes associated with largely criminal activity. Readers holding Bitcoin will be shaking their heads reading my piece - the value has exploded by thousands of percent in a single year! To which I respond: Exactly. Get into Bitcoin or another digital currency if you want. I hope it makes you rich. But don't kid yourself this is anything more than speculation for a quick buck. The messianic stuff will go out the window once it collapses. There are lots of things in the real economy to invest in too. The big advantage of Bitcoin as \"stateless money\" is that when it collapses, the government won't have to bail it out.",

            "input": "By Gordon CoreraSecurity correspondent, BBC News In one corner, a large globe visualises all the cyber attacks targeting the UK from around the world. The room is a reminder of the range of activity that GCHQ is involved in - as well as its global reach in monitoring communications and data flows. Russian cyber attacks are high up the agenda, in the wake of claims Moscow interfered in the US election and is trying the same in Europe. \"We have been watching Russian cyber activity since the mid 1990s,\" GCHQ's outgoing director, Robert Hannigan, tells the BBC. 'Reckless and interfering' \"The scale has changed. They've invested a lot of money and people in offensive cyber behaviour and critically they've decided to do reckless and interfering things in European countries.\" Mr Hannigan says that whilst it is impossible to be absolutely sure, the defences against such attacks seem to have held in the UK. One of his legacies will be the creation of the National Cyber Security Centre, an arm of GCHQ which is based in London and is much more public facing in providing protective advice to the country about the threats in cyberspace. Terrorism sits alongside cyber threats on the agenda. So-called Islamic State - or ISIL - has proved adept at exploiting the power of the internet. \"It's one of their most important assets. As they are defeated on the ground, the 'online caliphate' will become more important. \"They will continue to try to use the media to crowd-source terrorism to get people around the world to go and commit acts of violence on their behalf... \"There are things we can do to contest ISIL in this media space... but it's not just for governments to do operations online. It's for the companies and for the rest of media and society to have the will to drive this material off the internet...\" When he took over as head of GCHQ in 2014, Mr Hannigan launched what was seen as a broadside against technology companies - arguing they were in denial about the way they were used by terrorist groups to communicate and spread their message. No place to hide In the wake of the Westminster attack, the Home Secretary Amber Rudd said that companies should not offer a safe space for terrorists to hide - a reference to the development of end-to-end encryption services which make it impossible to provide the content of communications, even on production of a warrant. GCHQ, as well as trying to break codes, also works to secure communications and so treads a fine line. \"Encryption matters hugely to the safety of citizens and to the economy.... The home secretary is talking about a particular problem - that this strong encryption is being abused by terrorists and criminals... \"Our best way forward is to sit down with the tech companies...\" The other area of tension with firms has been over extremist content hosted on websites. Here, government has recently been placing pressure on the companies to be more proactive in taking down content rather than waiting for it to be reported to them. \"I think they have moved a long way [but] there's further to go,\" Mr Hannigan says. \"When I started the job in 2014 they really were reluctant to accept responsibility for anything they carried on their networks - whether that was terrorism, child sexual exploitation or any other kind of crime.\" The threat from IS has been particularly acute in Europe in the last few years. That has driven increased security co-operation - so will Brexit be a problem? \"I don't think so, because the intelligence-sharing has never been through EU structures and national security has never been part of the European Union's remit. \"It's simply a statement of fact that we have very, very strong intelligence and security and defence capabilities and we bring a lot to Europe and to our European partners...\" The relationship with the US is by far the deepest, which he says will not change under the Trump administration. \"It's the most powerful weapon we have against terrorism in particular and has massively paid dividends in the last 10 years.\" US spying claims In recent weeks, there was controversy after reports claimed the Obama administration asked GCHQ to spy on President-elect Donald Trump. GCHQ took the unusual step of publicly denying this. \"We get crazy conspiracy theories thrown at us every day,\" Mr Hannigan says. \"We ignore most of them. On this occasion it was so crazy that we felt we should say so and we have said it's a ridiculous suggestion.\" Deep underground, beneath the grass sit a series of cavernous computer halls. The noise is at points overwhelming. Much effort goes into cooling the machines. Some of the endless racks contain off-the-shelf server technology but large specialist supercomputers sit alongside which are used by the cryptanalysts for code-breaking. The exact specifications of these machines and just how much computing power sits in Cheltenham is classified largely to keep other states - primarily the Russians and Chinese - guessing. \"It's impossible to do counterterrorism or cyber security without that kind of power,\" Mr Hannigan explains, arguing that the challenge remains finding the small needle in the haystack of the massive volume of data on the internet. Another aspect of Mr Hannigan's legacy will be the push for greater transparency and openness. \"It's very important in a democracy to have the consent of the public as well as the legislation in place and to explain that everything we do is under the law,\" Mr Hannigan says. 'Dark side' He took over an agency bruised by the Edward Snowden revelations and allegations of \"mass surveillance\". \"Obviously a debate on privacy and greater transparency are good things - but it was perfectly possible to do that and indeed it was happening anyway without the damage that the Snowden revelations did. The same is true of the WikiLeaks disclosures.\" Mr Hannigan says he and the organisation remain optimistic, rather than pessimistic, about the spread of technology. \"Technology and the internet are overwhelmingly brilliant things for human progress,\" Mr Hannigan says. \"Unfortunately there will always be people who want to abuse the latest technology.

The Welsh Government said Pinewood remained committed to Wales and was operating the studio under a new agreement. The Welsh Conservatives have called for \"clarity\". Pinewood only began paying rent for its Cardiff studio in January 2017 after it emerged its first two years had been rent-free. The deal was part of an agreement to move into the former energy centre on the outskirts of Cardiff when the building was bought by the Welsh Government for £5.2m. BBC Wales used a Freedom of Information request to confirm Pinewood was no longer a tenant. But despite stating a new agreement had been reached between Pinewood and the Welsh Government to operate the studio, further details have not been published for \"commercial\" reasons. Responding to questions in the Senedd on 6 December, culture minister Dafydd Elis-Thomas told AMs: \"Pinewood remains committed to operating the studio in Wentloog and continuing to promote Wales internationally as a destination for high-end TV and film production.\" Conservative culture spokeswoman Suzy Davies, who raised the issue in the Senedd, has called for more information about the relationship between Pinewood and the Welsh Government. Ms Davies said: \"This news does not appear to fit with what the culture minister told me two weeks ago when he said 'Pinewood remains committed to operating the studio in Wentloog'. \"Instead we are left with more questions about what Welsh Government's relationship with Pinewood is and whether there is a relationship at all now. \"Since my last questions to Welsh Government I have had two offers to meet with the minister to discuss this further in the new year. \"I hope that some clarity can be gained as these mixed messages from Welsh Government are unlikely to be helping in their attempts to make Wales an attractive place to make high-end television and film productions.\" A Welsh Government spokesman said Pinewood was committed to Wales and having the company in Cardiff had given Wales a global advantage. It said it had been invaluable to the film and television sector and the studio was also home to key supply chain companies. \"Pinewood is continuing to operate the Wentloog studio under a new agreement, the terms of which remain confidential,\" said the spokesman. Pinewood has also been asked to comment. WHAT PRODUCTIONS HAS PINEWOOD WALES BEEN INVOLVED WITH?",

I've just been tired but I'm still grateful that I have my health and that you know I have a shelter, food and access to stuff that can distract me while everything is going on, and you know I have stuff I can do, and I'm grateful for that. 27 March: Before coronavirus, we would go to church once a week on Sundays and my mom would try to go every morning. But now with the coronavirus, we just stream church everyday. My parents woke me up to watch the Pope deliver his Urbi et Orbi message which is a plenary indulgence for the pandemic, those affected by Covid-19, and everyone else. An event that would normally draw hundreds of people to the Vatican was empty. Watch Miguel's video diary We asked three young Americans to chronicle their very different experiences of the pandemic. Read about Maddie below, a 22-year-old student living in Ohio, and Ana who's just graduated high school in New York City. 30 March: Not even a 15 hour time difference, shelter-in-place order, and community lockdown can hold back a family function. My relatives in the Philippines usually have regular get-togethers just to update each other and talk about the latest chismis (gossip in Tagalog), but due to the Covid-19 outbreak, we have all resorted to using Zoom in order to communicate with each other. Though it was past midnight for my parents and I, the fun and laughter didn't stop for hours. 29 March: My family's lived in this apartment for almost 10 years. My mom came to America first from the Philippines in 2004, then my dad and I followed her in 2010. Ever since then I've been sleeping on the couch - it's a small, one-bedroom apartment but it's not too bad. 6 April: Here is my mom, retrieving last week's mail. What was once a daily occurrence has become something only to be done once a week. My parents decided that it was best to only grab the mail once a week to reduce having to touch something that other people may have come into contact with. 9 April: San Francisco in the time of Covid-19. What was once a bustling city full of tourists and locals is now close to empty. In Union Square, shops of all kinds are boarded up with sheets of plywood, the usual city traffic has halted, and sidewalks are no longer crowded. Though closed, most of these high-end designer stores will be able to financially recover. But I worry about the fate of hole-in-the wall and mom-and-pop shops. Driving through, I've seen a lot of tents lining the sidewalks. Despite the rich residents and lavish tech companies that inhabit the city, it seems that the most vulnerable citizens are left out by the local government. A lot of people were saying, instead of forcing the people experiencing homelessness to stay in the streets, why doesn't the city put them up in the hotel rooms since they're empty anyway? The suggestion went all the way to the mayor. I think it's a good idea. 15 April: Self portrait in a newly organised bathroom. Since the beginning of the shelter-in-place order, my mom had put up two signs ordering all of us to only use our own towels when drying our hands and took away the old communal hand towel. My mom also took the liberty of giving each of us our own tubes of toothpaste and bottles of mouthwash while labelling each item. 16 April: It's been more than a month since this project started, and I wish I could say that things are going back to normal, but obviously that's not what's happening. The only thing we can do is do our part and try to flatten the curve. It's frustrating that a lot of people don't feel the same way. And that they're going out there and protesting in huge groups of people in public and trying to end the quarantine when obviously that's not going to work. It's frustrating to see because it will probably just make everything last longer. It's also incredibly selfish. 10 May: On Mother's Day, my parents and I dropped off trays of chicken adobo and rice in Daly City. The donation was for a free community feed hosted and organised by Pilipino Bayanihan Resource Center and the Filipino American Democratic Club of San Mateo County. Volunteers cooked and dropped off trays upon trays of the adobo and rice. Families and individuals were invited to drive up to the curb and receive pre-packaged plates of the classic Filipino dish to feed themselves and their families. 3 June: My family's been in quarantine for three months now. So I attended a protest in San Mateo county. It was a protest in solidarity with the other Black Lives Matter protests that are going on around the country and around the world. I've never been to a protest of that size, and it was just amazing to see all these people coming together for a common cause, fighting for what's right. Not everyone can go out all the time and always be out protesting, which is understandable because there's still coronavirus happening. And there are some people who are older, or some people who are probably immuno-compromised, or maybe it's just harder for them to self-isolate after going to a protest. But even now, a lot of people are still showing up and showing out, and it's incredibly important for us to all keep doing that. I hope that with everything that comes out of this, other than that people come out healthy and safe and okay, is that we just see that the system we live in doesn't work. The country we live in is not really as great as some people might think it is, if it was ever great, and that everything needs to change. And we all have to do our part in changing things. Because we all live here, we're all in it together. Produced by Hannah Long-Higgins and Robin Levinson-King .",

Spokesman Dougie Dunsmore-Dawson said any reduction in funding would \"put at risk\" the support it provides. A council spokesperson said funding was based \"on the number of veterans from Liverpool\" who benefit. Tom Harrison House is the only residential rehabilitation centre in the UK that exclusively serves military veterans, serving personnel, and their families. 'Travesty' \"Ultimately we're trying to help veterans recover from addiction issues with alcohol and drugs and we do some great work here,\" said Mr Dunsmore-Dawson. \"The evidence is clear there's a thriving community of veterans in recovery and so to jeopardise that is just a travesty.\" The council explained its proposal to reduce funding by saying it could no longer afford to fund treatment for veterans who were not from Merseyside. Approximately half of those being treated at the centre are from Liverpool, with the remainder travelling there from the rest of the UK. A council spokesperson said: \"Its work is very much appreciated and valued. Our intention is to continue to provide funding, but it will be based specifically on the number of veterans from Liverpool that receive services. \"It is important to stress that no final decision has been taken and it is subject to further discussions.\" Ex-soldier Craig Nicholson went to Tom Harrison House in 2017. Having served for four years with 47 Regiment Royal Artillery, he battled drug addiction when he returned to civilian life. \"Nobody could relate to me because I was an ex-soldier,\" he said. \"I remember the very first day I came to Tom Harrison House and I was made to feel welcome straight away.\" When asked about the funding cuts he said: \"I think it's absolutely outrageous - it's a crying shame.\" Tom Harrison House now plans to ask to national veteran charities for additional funding.

The National Domestic Abuse helpline has seen a 25% increase in calls and online requests since the lockdown. Priti Patel also launched an initiative called 'You Are Not Alone' to help those experiencing domestic abuse. It comes after Chancellor Rishi Sunak announced a £750m package for charities during the pandemic. The government said the extra funds will allow those most vulnerable to abuse to access support during periods when it might be difficult to communicate on the phone. People are also being encouraged to take part in the government's campaign by sharing a photo of a heart on their palm in their windows and on social media using #YouAreNotAlone. Martin Hewitt, National Police Chiefs' Council chairman, said 400 domestic abuse suspects were arrested in two weeks in the West Midlands. From next week, social media adverts will highlight where people can find help. Ms Patel said: \"Coronavirus has opened Britain's enormous heart and shown our love and compassion for one another as we come together to help those who are most in need. \"I am now asking this nation to use that amazing compassion and community spirit to embrace those who are trapped in the horrific cycle of abuse. \"To help us all look out for those who need help, we have created a new campaign and we have created a symbol of hope - a handprint embossed with a heart - so that people can easily show that we will not tolerate abuse as a society.\" Mr Hewitt added: \"To abusers, do not think that this is a time where you can get away with this. We will still arrest, we will still bring people into custody and we will still prosecute.\" Ms Patel added that while perpetrators should be the ones to leave homes, the government will work to ensure there is refuge for victims and their children if this is not possible. Ms Patel said anyone in immediate danger should call 999 and press 55 on a mobile if they are unable to talk. \"Our outstanding police will still be there for you,\" she added. The campaign will also publicise the support available on the 24-hour freephone National Domestic Abuse Helpline number - 0808 2000 247. Sandra Horley, chief executive of national domestic abuse charity Refuge, welcomed the government's announcement \"at this critical time\". \"We have worked around the clock to ensure our national helpline and frontline specialist services remain open and accessible to women experiencing domestic abuse,\" Ms Horley said. \"What is needed now, more than ever, is to ensure every woman experiencing domestic abuse is aware of the confidential support available.\" Ms Horley added that she hopes the campaign will reach \"the tens of thousands of people experiencing domestic abuse\". The National Domestic Abuse helpline has seen a spike in calls, with campaigners warning the restrictions in movements as the UK tries to stem the spread of coronavirus could have heightened domestic tensions and limited escape routes. Pressure on other services could also have contributed to the increase, campaigners said.",

These include: \"Such devices would limit the operator's field of view thereby reducing his or her ability to see and avoid other aircraft in the area,\" the guidance says. \"Additionally, some of these devices could dramatically increase the distance at which an operator could see the aircraft, rendering the statutory visual-line-of-sight requirements meaningless.\" The guidance also states model aircraft can be flown only for recreational - not commercial - purposes. Operators can take pictures of their house, for example, but cannot use them to advertise the house for sale Model aircraft must also weigh 55lb or less. And when flying within five miles of an airport, the operator must warn the air traffic control tower.

The judge said the R&B singer and a woman whose Mercedes he hit with his Range Rover in Toluca Lake had reached an agreement over the case. The prosecution disagreed with the decision, saying Brown showed aggression after the incident. Chris Brown also denied leaving the scene of the crash on 21 May. The offences carried a maximum of one year in jail. The 27-year-old was still on probation at the time of the crash for assaulting then-girlfriend Rihanna in 2009. That has now been reinstated and the star has been given a new sentence to perform 1,000 hours of community service. He has been ordered to perform tasks like highway work and graffiti removal. The singer was not present at the hearing but tweeted: \"Thank God!!!\" after the hit-and-run case was dismissed. Brown's lawyer, Mark Geragos, said the agreement did not involve any money and that the woman driving the Mercedes only received $800 (£512) from her insurance company. Geragos added: \"Sometimes I get the impression that he [Brown] is prosecuted for who he is, not for what he's done.\" LA city lawyer Patrick Hiscocks claimed the singer should have been punished for the accident, saying the other driver felt she was treated badly on social media after the crash. Brown called the incident \"ridiculous\" on Twitter and denied giving the other driver false details. \"I have a valid drivers license and I gave the woman the right info,\" he tweeted in May. \"She saw cameras and wanted to make a scene.\" The singer also accused the woman of trying to make money out of the incident. This week Chris Brown was sued for battery and assault over a fight in a car park at an LA recording studio.

But there was criticism as the chairman of its parent company had backed a ban on teaching LGBT issues. The local bus company said the decision had been \"mutually agreed\" and while it was committed to diversity did not want anything to distract from the artists. Gay rights campaigner Peter Tatchell was among those against the prize's partnership with Stagecoach South East. He told the Daily Telegraph he was \"surprised and disappointed\" when he heard the announcement. Sir Brian Souter, who backed a failed campaign 19 years ago to keep Section 28 - a law banning teachers discussing gay rights in schools - is the co-founder and chairman of the Stagecoach Group. In a statement, Turner Contemporary and the Tate gallery - which organises the annual prize - said its priority was to \"show and celebrate\" artists and their work. It said: \"The Turner Prize celebrates the creative freedoms of the visual arts community and our wider society. \"By mutual agreement, we will not proceed with Stagecoach South East's sponsorship of this year's prize.\" In a later statement, Tate said it didn't know about Sir Brian's views on gay rights when it agreed the deal. \"The corporate agreement was between Turner Contemporary and Stagecoach,\" it said. \"The relevant legal and financial due diligence was observed. Neither Turner Contemporary nor Tate were aware of the wider issues.\" Stagecoach South East said: \"We are absolutely committed to diversity in our company, however we do not want anything to distract from celebrating the Turner Prize artists and their work.\" The winner of the £40,000 prize will be announced on 3 December. This year's Turner Prize nominees are Lawrence Abu Hamdan, Helen Cammock, Oscar Murillo and Tai Shani. The shortlist of artists was announced on Wednesday and their work tackles issues including oppression and marginalised communities. Last year's Turner Prize was won by artist Charlotte Prodger for her film on her experience of coming out as gay in rural Scotland. Other recent arts sponsorship controversies Analysis by Will Gompertz, BBC arts editor Life has never been easy for arts fundraisers. Typically sport takes the lion's share of corporate sponsorship, with arts organisations feeding off any scraps of company cash that might be left over. There is not a history of companies queuing around the block to financially support exhibitions and gallery refurbishments. It is a small pool in which fundraisers have to fish, and it's now in danger of evaporating altogether. The public scrutiny museums, theatres, orchestras and other arts bodies now find themselves under is unprecedented. The effect is two-fold. Firstly, corporate sponsorship deals nowadays must be able to withstand forensic examination by stakeholders and the media, which Turner Contemporary's deal with Stagecoach could not. Secondly, the negativity surrounding arts sponsorship - from the Sackler Trust controversy to BAE Systems withdrawal from supporting the Great Exhibition of the North - is extremely off-putting for companies that might be thinking of entering the arts arena. What has also become absolutely clear over the past 12 months is that arts organisations have to up their game when it comes to basic due diligence before accepting a sponsor's money. It is no longer good enough to check the credentials of the sponsoring company. They now have to make sure the personal values of those who run and own it are compatible with their own charitable objectives. A quick Google search won't do. Twitter feeds, Instagram posts and other platforms for public comment all have to be rigorously checked. All of which means more work for already hard-pressed fundraising departments operating in arts institutions that are still feeling the chill wind of austerity. Theirs is a difficult and thankless job that has now become much, much harder. Follow us on Facebook, on Twitter @BBCNewsEnts, or on Instagram at bbcnewsents.

She said residents were \"deteriorating very rapidly\" from suspected Covid-19, and getting masks for staff was a struggle.

Ms Astle said: \"It's soul destroying, staff are heartbroken, it's awful to watch people deteriorate, and people are deteriorating very rapidly. \"It's just horrendous.\" The manager of the 41-bed dementia care home said she had spent nearly £9,000 on personal protective equipment (PPE) that only lasted 10 days, and said getting a steady supply of PPE was a struggle.

Two Russian servicemen were killed when the base was attacked on 31 December. The coastal Hmeimim airbase is at the core of Russia's war effort in Syria. On Saturday the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR), a UK-based monitoring group, said the base was targeted by drones belonging to an \"Islamist faction\" operating in the area, citing sources. No casualties or details of damage to the airbase have yet been reported, the SOHR added. Read more on the Syria conflict: The drones, or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), used in the attempted attack were basic in design, Russian news site Lenta reports. The UAVs featured an engine taped to a wooden frame, which carried two \"home-made mines\", it added. Russia has not yet commented on the reports. Last week, Russian military journalist Roman Saponkov published photos on social media that appeared to show warplanes damaged in a mortar attack on Russia's Hmeimim base on New Year's Eve. Speaking to the BBC, Mr Saponkov said that the photos came from a reliable anonymous source. Russia's defence ministry acknowledged the attack on 31 December, adding that two servicemen had been killed, but denied that any jets had been disabled. The attackers were described as \"Islamist extremists\". Last month, Russian President Vladimir Putin visited the Hmeimim airbase and announced the withdrawal of some of the country's troops from Syria. Hmeimim is Russia's main base for air strikes on rebel groups in Syria - strikes that have enabled President Bashar al-Assad's forces to recover much lost ground. Russian air strikes are said to have killed many civilians, though Moscow insists that it only targets rebel \"terrorist\" fighters. The Russian military says it has now beefed up security at Hmeimim.

In pictures: Met Gala's oddest outfits The press reactions in India have run along similar lines. The Times of India newspaper said that she \"swept away the competition\" while the Deccan Chronicle said she \"looked like a princess\". The sentiment on Twitter was not too far off. Still, here come the memes! Some reports say that this is the world's longest trench coat - and with material like that up for grabs, it's an opportunity too good for any photoshop enthusiast worth his/her salt.

The 69-year-old has denied two health and safety offences relating to the 1989 disaster at Preston Crown Court. Jason Beer QC told the jury that \"little or any\" of what happened during the tragedy related to Mr Mackrell. Mr Beer said that in 1989 the role of a club safety officer was a \"relatively new development\" with no training available, unlike the formal qualifications required today. He told the jury they must judge Mr Makrell by the standards of the time. The 96 victims Mr Beer said: \"This is an enormously serious criminal case. Graham Mackrell is a man of good character.\" Mr Mackrell did not face a criminal charge \"that requires proof that his conduct caused loss of life\", the lawyer continued. \"It is the prosecution's case that his omissions in the planning of the event contributed to a chain of events that led to the disaster.\" Mr Beer said Hillsborough was a prestigious venue at the time, and was used to hosting big matches. He said its structure and layout were already set out and approved before Mr Mackrell joined the club in 1986. The crush developed in the Leppings Lane end of the stadium during an FA Cup semi-final between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest. A football supporter who attended a previous match at the ground later told the court how a police officer had described Leppings Lane as the \"worst end of the ground\". Tottenham Hotspur supporter James Chumley, who attended an FA Cup semi-final in 1981, said police stopped him from going on to the terrace and an officer said the capacity of the terrace was over-declared.

Speaking to WalesOnline, the MP claimed Ms Wood was \"more concerned about the niche issues that interest her\" and did not have a sense of how important Brexit is. Ms Wood said she was \"disappointed\" by recent public criticism. A letter sent on Friday by the party leader hit out at politicians making statements in the media before going through \"proper channels\". It follows Mr Edwards' support for a proposal by pro-European Conservative MP Anna Soubry that Plaid could help form a cross-party \"government of national unity\" to negotiate Brexit. Ms Wood has repeatedly ruled out working with the Conservatives at all levels. Ms Soubry's comments came after she joined 11 other Tories in rebelling against Theresa May on Brexit in the House of Commons on Tuesday night. Responding at the time to the suggestion, Mr Edwards, MP for Carmarthen East and Dinefwr, said if stopping the UK from leaving the European Union's single market and customs union required his party to enter an all-party government \"so be it\". WalesOnline reported that his comments \"infuriated\" Ms Wood. Mr Edwards, who managed Ms Wood's leadership election campaign in 2012, was quoted on the website as saying: \"I am afraid that Leanne has shown no leadership in relation to Brexit since the referendum result. As MPs, we have been left to our own devices in Westminster void of any direction by the leader. \"We are faced with an unprecedented situation where the best-case scenario from the UK government's point of view is a hard Brexit and the worst-case scenario would involve a no-deal crash-out with the worst Brexit conceivable that would be cataclysmic for the Welsh economy. \"It's vitally important that Plaid shows national leadership at this crucial time, but Leanne doesn't seem to have any sense of how important it is. \"We have to be prepared to seize the initiative and work with those who will help deliver our objectives. The idea put forward by Anna Soubry would involve all parties. Clearly the Tories would have to be involved for mathematical reasons. This is not the time for tribalism. \"Leanne seems more concerned about the niche issues that interest her, but what Wales needs in this desperate crisis is real leadership.\" 'Scorched earth' There has been no direct response to Mr Edwards' comments, which also followed criticism by Adam Price that Leanne Wood cannot be the next first minister. But a letter seen by BBC Wales that was sent to all Plaid politicians by Ms Wood said she was \"disappointed to read various political interventions this week\", and that \"proper internal channels have not been used\" before statements were issued that were damaging to the party. \"The current leadership election should not be an excuse for some to have a scorched earth policy that will make it harder for the party to come back together after the election,\" she said. A party source took exception to the fact that all party politicians were included in the letter. \"These are men who were once perceived as Leanne's closest allies and men she has relied upon. \"Other members are not treated this way. If someone says something in public that is contrary to what we deem acceptable, then it should be flagged with them,\" the source said. \"Perhaps she needs to reassess who her allies are or are not.\"",

The CMA says it will look at whether consumers should be made more aware of how such sites earn their commission. The study will look at all price comparison sites, including broadband, energy, insurance and banking. Consumers are not always made aware of the cheapest deals on price websites, and usually they cannot switch to such deals immediately. Companies often pay a fee of about £30 to a site for each new customer they gain. Analysis: Brian Milligan, personal finance reporter The CMA study will be seen by many as an opportunity to revisit one of its most controversial decisions. Back in June, its inquiry into the energy market ruled that price comparison sites would no longer be under an obligation to show consumers the cheapest deals. In other words, such sites only need to show deals on which they are making a commission. That decision reversed a previous ruling by the energy regulator Ofgem, which said consumers should see all the deals on offer. MPs on the Energy Select Committee have already complained about the U-turn. While the CMA claims this new inquiry is completely separate, it says it will \"see what issues it throws up\". It is now asking for evidence. There will certainly be no shortage of people willing to give it. Andrea Coscelli, CMA acting chief executive, said: \"Digital comparison tools have played a big part in changing markets for the better, bringing new ways of doing things and forcing businesses to up their game. \"Consumers have benefited as choice and access to goods and services have grown.\" He said they had been more successful in some sectors than others. The CMA said it wanted to understand why this was the case and whether more could be done to ensure consumers and businesses can benefit from them more widely. It will examine four areas: One energy provider said the CMA was clueless about comparison sites. 'Farce' Luke Watson, GB Energy managing director, said: \"This latest investigation shows that the CMA has no idea what it thinks when it comes to comparison sites. \"It makes a farce of the CMA's energy market review, which handed more power to the comparison sites only a few months ago. Let's not forget some of those sites are also being investigated for anti-competitive practices. I think this is beyond a question of trust; these sites are profit-making machines posing as consumer champions, and they need proper regulation.\" A MoneySuperMarket spokesperson said: \"We look forward to working with the regulator to provide information and support as its work progresses.\" The CMA must announce within six months whether it intends to refer the market for a more in-depth investigation and must publish its report within 12 months. Margot James, the consumer minister, said: \"The government welcomes this market study, as consumers deserve to have access to the best deals and the clear, reliable information they need to make the best decisions.\"",

The former Disney actress issued an apology to content creators, who say their incomes will be impacted. However OnlyFans told the BBC pricing changes had \"been in the pipeline for a while\". OnlyFans has become popular as a platform where content creators can post premium provocative and intimate photos, videos and text messages. OnlyFans takes a 20% commission on each transaction. The platform has 60 million users and 750,000 content creators globally, according to most recent data. While some content creators are sex workers, many others are models, dancers, singers, musicians and comedians who do not produce any content featuring nudity. Warning: Story contains adult themes Over the weekend, OnlyFans saw a backlash from its content creators after changing the limit on each tip and paid post from $200 to $100 per item. Previously, content creators could charge any amount they liked. \"Spending limits are in place to protect all OnlyFans users and to allow them to use the platform safely,\" said an OnlyFans spokeswoman. \"The newly introduced limits on tips and paid posts is a change that has been in the pipeline for a while, and has not been implemented in response to any one creator or fan.\" The platform added that it made changes to its policies \"with the safety and support\" of its users and content creators in mind. 'She has no right to speak for us' Ms Thorne, 22, broke records on OnlyFans when she signed up for an account last week, gaining over 50,000 followers and earning $2m within a week by charging $200 for supposedly nude photos. But she was not nude in the photos, and thousands of her subscribers demanded refunds from the platform. Ms Thorne apologised to content creators on Saturday 29 August, claiming in a series of tweets that she wanted to \"remove the stigma behind sex work\". She also told Los Angeles Times that she was researching a new role for a film being made by director Sean Baker, but he has denied being involved in any projects with the actress. Ms Thorne further angered content creators by saying she was meeting with OnlyFans to discuss the price caps on their behalf, when many say their own requests for clarification on the issue have been ignored by the platform. \"Bella Thorne has no right to speak for us and could never know the daily challenges we face every day,\" Stephanie Michelle, a professional cosplayer based in Los Angeles told the BBC. Ms Michelle has 550 fans and makes $8,000 a month, charging a $30 subscription fee to users. She also relies on tips ranging from $5-$200 for pay-per-view photos, videos and text messages. She says her OnlyFans work is the only way she can support her family due to the pandemic, and fears many other content creators will struggle to make ends meet going forward. Kelly Jean, a London-based professional cosplayer and Twitch streamer, has 4,600 followers on OnlyFans. She is on many social media platforms and uses OnlyFans as part of maintaining her following, by offering $10 sets of sexy modelling pictures as digital merchandise to her fans. \"It's going to make people more suspicious of my content, but we can hope Bella Thorne is bringing more people to the platform and normalising it for others who don't do nude content like me,\" she said. OnlyFans says a record number of people applied to become content creators on the platform in the last week after Ms Thorne joined it. 'OnlyFans is ripping me off' Irina is a cosplayer and model living in Belarus, with 35,700 followers on OnlyFans. Due to the pandemic, she depends on the platform for 90% of her income. She charges up to $40 for lingerie pictures and videos or for content that implies nudity; $165 for topless photos and $200 for nude images and videos. \"I feel OnlyFans is ripping me off,\" she said. \"I will lose around $2,000 a month from my income because I can't take any custom requests now as they are priced higher than usual content. With a maximum tip of $100 it's hard to explain to people why they need to tip multiple times.\" Erika Heidewald, an actress and musician in Los Angeles, has only 317 followers. She explains that there are many different business models on OnlyFans because people have wildly varying requests, and the sky's the limit when it comes to creativity. She could sell a swimsuit photograph for $20, or a picture of her shoes for $100, or someone might pay her $200 \"to text and humiliate them for 20 minutes\". \"A lot of the large creators have lower prices because they have so many subscribers to buy those items, but most small creators rely on a limited number of loyal subscribers. They might only sell a couple videos a month, but they're worth enough that it's a life-saving amount of money,\" she told the BBC. \"Lowering the price ceiling limits our money as well as cheapening the value of individually-produced content.\" Another bone of contention is the fact that OnlyFans previously promised creators that if they referred new influencers, they would be entitled to receive 5% of their income for the foreseeable future. \"I feel slightly used by OnlyFans,\" said Kaya Corbridge, 23, a sex worker from Lancashire who has made $1.1m on the platform over the last three years and now owns her own home. Ms Corbridge offers services ranging from $7-$25 \"personalised penis ratings\" and text chats charged at between $3-$300, to custom videos costing $50 a minute and even a $1,000 package where a user can control what she does for a day. She has 1.2 million followers on Only Fans. \"When I started, I signed up over 500 content creators and trained them up, offered them support, promotion and even a guide book that I created on the promise and contract that I would get 5% of their earnings for life,\" she says. \"So many of us have spent years training up our future competition.\" Ms Corbridge estimates she will lose $12,000 a month due to the referral fees policy change. She and Irina are now considering moving to other platforms. According to digital content marketing expert Simon Penson, many technology platforms have built their success by attracting influencers with lucrative monetisation offers, and then \"moved the goal posts\" later on. \"Facebook did this, and we always saw it with influencers on YouTube too,\" said Mr Penson, who founded Zazzle Media, one of the pioneers of the digital content marketing industry in 2009. \"The biggest guys had enough reach to negotiate with the social media platforms for bespoke deals. \"But the small and medium-sized influencers who were obviously making quite a lot of money were the ones who didn't have a place at the negotiating table and they were the ones who were really hurt by YouTube's changes.\" Content creators can't yet turn their backs on online platforms as they need to reach audiences, but Mr Penson says things are changing. \"We're starting to see an era whereby influencers, rather than relying on social media platforms for monetisation, they'll move towards technology platforms like Patreon, OnlyFans and VuePay, which provide the technology rather than the audience. \"Influencers do have greater power than they used to have - they can utilise their influence to push their fans to the places they want to be.\"",

It was hard to get them on the floor. \"Two years later, they're super-committed, dedicated and you'd never think these type of dads would be a part of something like this.\" Ms Lee described the girls in the class as being \"in full leadership mode\". \"They're excited when dad's there. Obviously they know more than dad knows so they are super-excited they get to be the instructor for that moment. They get to fix dad's feet, his plié, so they're overjoyed and delighted with the whole moment. It's really good,\" she says.

During this time we do family-orientated things such as daddy and daughter ballet, mum and daughter hip-hop to give back to ourselves and come back to that family community.\" One of the fathers in the class told Good Morning America: \"What I instil in my daughter is that you have to live and you have to try new things. There was no hesitation for me.

Latest news from Devon and Cornwall 'We want answers' The GMB union said it wanted answers from the government and from Babcock about the £60m package which would have offered extra work at Devonport. Babcock had said the extra work would not be enough to secure Appledore's future. Some Appledore staff had been temporarily redeployed to Devonport since the news of the lost contract came through.

County Antrim men, David McMaw, 30, from Starbog Road in Larne, and his brother Darren McMaw, 34, from Kilgreel Road in Antrim, were cleared. Brian McClean, 37, of Valetta Park in Newtownards, County Down, was also found not guilty. Mr Gilmore was driving in the Woodburn area of Carrickfergus when he was shot. The three men on trial were accused of murdering him and attempting to kill the two passengers in his car. The trial was told the vehicle was raked with gunfire. It was alleged by the prosecution that Brian McClean acted as a look-out, David McMaw was the gunman, and his older brother Darren McMaw was in a van tracking the movements of George Gilmore's vehicle. The three defendants denied all of the charges against them. On the day of the murder, Mr Gilmore's son, George Jnr, was one of the first on the scene and called 999. The judge, Mr Justice McAlinden, took five hours to read out his judgement. Friends and family of Mr Gilmore were in court for the hearing. The judge said that the evidence of a number of witnesses who testified in the case had been unreliable. \"It is clear that the evidence of George Gilmore Jnr, Mateusz Ostrowski and Stephen Boyd formed a central pillar of the Crown case against the three accused,\" he said. \"My detailed and painstaking examination of the evidence of these three witnesses, and the various accounts given by them, leads me to the inescapable conclusion that their evidence, riven as it is with utterly implausible, internally conflicting and mutually contradictory accounts, is incapable of belief and that no conviction in this case could be safely founded on this evidence. \"I simply do not believe that any of these three witnesses saw what they say they saw on the day in question.\" The defendants sat in the dock and showed little emotion as one by one, they were found not guilty. However, a number of their friends in the public gallery cheered. 'Cancer feeding off fears' Before leaving court, the judge said: \"When is this society going to finally realise that these self-styled paramilitary organisations are nothing other than a cancer feeding off the deeply rooted tribal fears of the communities in which they operate?\" He added: \"Resorting to the use of a gun solves absolutely nothing, and only serves to engender further violence and the further perpetuation of hatred.\"",

            "input": "Police stumbled upon Ronnie Wallwork, 34, while investigating unconnected armed robberies across Lancashire. He was working at a site which was under surveillance by police in relation to other suspected criminals. The details emerged as Wallwork's friend was cleared in connection with the matter. Wallwork, from Failsworth, pleaded guilty to three counts of receiving stolen goods earlier this year. Wallwork, a defender, represented England at under-20 level and joined Manchester United as a trainee in 1993. He was loaned to a number of clubs before he joined West Bromwich Albion in 2002. He was later on loan at Bradford City, Barnsley and Huddersfield Town before moving to Sheffield Wednesday in 2008. 'Lifelong friend' The main targets of the North West Regional Crime Squad were Craig Bulger and Mark Cain - who shot a security guard several times at a Preston supermarket. Bulger, 51, was tracked to a scrap yard in Manchester. It was here that Wallwork came to the attention of the authorities in 2010 as the site became the focus of heavy surveillance. Wallwork's friend Siobhan Johnstone, 34, of Newton Heath in Manchester, had sold a stolen Volkswagen Touran engine and car parts from a stolen BMW 318i on Ebay on behalf of Wallwork - described in court as her \"lifelong friend\". She had also allowed a stolen Mazda Furano, with no rear registration plate, to be parked on her driveway at the ex-footballer's request. When arrested, she told detectives she had no knowledge of where the Mazda or the car parts had come from. The court heard the VW Touran had been stolen from an address in Worsley, the BMW from Wigan and the Mazda from Harrogate, North Yorkshire. The red Mazda found its way to 10 Arches scrap yard where Wallwork was based the following day, the court heard. 'Financial difficulties' Another man later drove the Mazda to Johnstone's home while she was on holiday with Wallwork in Murcia, Spain. Ms Johnstone said she had regularly helped Wallwork over the years and had sold other items on his behalf on eBay including some of his West Brom playing kit. Mark Rhind, defending Johnstone, said: \"The two main targets were Mark Cain and Craig Bulger, both with long criminal histories, both with previous convictions for robberies and both actively involved in 2010 in committing and surveying armed robberies. In one of those in Preston a security guard was shot. \"Both of these men received indeterminate sentences.\" Mr Rhind added: \"Mr Wallwork was involved in breaking stolen cars up and no doubt selling them on. \"He was a man who had some means but was now caught up in financial difficulties at the time of this investigation.\" Wallwork is on bail and is due to be sentenced next month.

            "input": "\"The war in Yemen must end,\" President Joe Biden said in his first major foreign policy speech. Under Mr Biden's two predecessors, the US backed a coalition led by Saudi Arabia against Houthi rebels in Yemen. The conflict has left millions of Yemenis on the brink of starvation. Fighting began in 2014 between a weak Yemeni government and the Houthi rebel movement. It escalated a year later, when Saudi Arabia and eight other Arab states - backed by the US, the UK and France - began air strikes against the Houthis. Mr Biden announced other changes to US foreign policy, such as a significant increase in the number of refugees accepted by the US. His speech marks a sharp break with the policies of former President Donald Trump, who left office last month. On Russia, for instance, the new US leader said: \"I made it clear to President [Vladimir] Putin, in a manner very different from my predecessor, that the days of the United States rolling over in the face of Russia's aggressive actions… are over.\" The comments drew fierce criticism from the Kremlin. \"This is very aggressive, unconstructive rhetoric, to our regret,\" Mr Putin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Friday. What does the Yemen announcement mean? The US has been backing the Yemeni government and its Saudi-led allies in their war against the Houthis. As a result of Thursday's announcement, the US will stop supporting offensive operations, including the sale of precision-guided munitions to Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). This will not affect operations against al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula. The Biden administration had already put a temporary halt on arms sales to Saudi Arabia and the UAE. Mr Biden is expected to name his new Yemen envoy as Tim Lenderking, an experienced diplomat and Middle East specialist. This marks a change of tack from Mr Trump's administration, which increased support for the Saudi-led coalition. Last month Mr Trump's Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, announced that the Houthis were being designated a \"terrorist organisation\". He said the aim was to hold the Houthis accountable for cross-border attacks and deter \"malign activity\" by their backer Iran. Aid organisations criticised the move, warning that it could prevent them from operating in areas where millions are in urgent need of food aid. Last week, the Biden administration said it would exempt certain transactions involving the Houthis from sanctions. That exemption will expire on 26 February. The United Nations says Yemen is the world's worst humanitarian crisis, with 80% of the population in need of aid or protection. These announcements confirm President Biden's pledge to end Yemen's destructive war. Halting US support to the Saudi-led coalition's offensive operations won't close this bloody chapter, but it sends a strong signal to leaders in Riyadh and Abu Dhabi - they've also been trying to find ways to extricate themselves from this quagmire. Achieving peace among Yemen's bitter enemies will be a monumental challenge. Tim Lenderking is set to be the first US envoy for Yemen since this war was unleashed nearly six years ago. He's worked on this file for years and is known to everyone who matters. Western diplomats, as well as Yemenis, have welcomed this new US engagement. In 2015, President Obama gave a green light to the Saudi-led campaign, partly to ease the Kingdom's anger over the Iran nuclear deal. Now new US envoys on Yemen, and Iran, are tasked with ending this war, and the regional rivalries which still fuel it. What else did Biden say? The US will raise the cap on refugee admissions from 15,000 to 125,000 for the fiscal year. The withdrawal of US troops from Germany will be frozen and forces will remain at their current level of about 36,000. Under Mr Trump, the US was going to reduce its presence by 12,000, with about 5,600 to be deployed elsewhere in Europe. Mr Biden called on Myanmar's military rulers to release civilian leader Aung San Suu Kyi and restore democracy. He also promised to engage diplomatically with Russia but to be tougher on Moscow than Mr Trump, saying the US would not \"roll over\".",

But the country's president said unless a UN arms embargo was lifted the conflict would go on for 10 more years. The UN secretary general said drought was Somalia's \"most pressing priority\". UN chief Antonio Guterres called for an additional $900m (£700m) to allow aid agencies to tackle the severe drought facing the country, taking his total appeal to $1.5bn. He added the conference at Lancaster House attended by more than 40 nations had created an opportunity to take Somalia out of \"decades of conflict, of poverty and of terrible suffering\". Somalia's President Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed, who took office in February, hailed it as a \"historic day\" for his country. UK Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson, who co-hosted the conference, said by acting \"early and decisively\" the famine threatening Somalia could be avoided. \"For this to happen aid agencies must be free to go wherever necessary with safety and without hindrance to distribute food aid to all those in need,\" Mr Johnson said. But he said it was not the time to lift the arms embargo because of fears weapons could end up in the wrong hands. It has been in place since Somalia collapsed into civil war in the early 1990s. Islamist group Al-Shabab, part of al-Qaeda, has a strong presence in many rural parts of Somalia and often stages attacks in the capital, Mogadishu, and elsewhere. Opening the meeting, UK Prime Minister Theresa May said the \"challenges that face Somalia affect us all\". She said: \"If Somalia is a foothold for terrorist groups like al-Shabab and Daesh [the so-called Islamic State group], if global trade is hijacked by pirates or if millions are continually displaced in a desperate bid to escape poverty and drought, the impact of instability in Somalia is felt across the whole region and the wider world.\" US defence secretary James Mattis, EU foreign affairs chief Federica Mogherini, the presidents of Kenya and Uganda, the prime ministers of Ethiopia and Turkey, and the foreign ministers of Egypt, Germany, the Netherlands and Qatar also attended the conference, the third such meeting on Somalia to be held in London since 2012.",

            "input": "The new advice comes as a joint BBC Newsnight and British Medical Journal investigation reports that problems with such devices have been long known, but no action taken to block their use. All-metal hips have a high failure rate and rubbing between the ball and cup can cause metal to break off, seeping into tissue and causing complications. But despite the fact that the risks posed by these minute pieces of metal have been known and well documented for decades, patients have been kept in the dark. The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) said on Tuesday that around 49,000 UK patients with large-head hip implants out of 65,000 with all-metal hips were in a high-risk category. The regulator said that they should have blood tests to check for metal ions, and magnetic resonance imaging scans (MRI) if they have raised metal levels or show adverse symptoms. Dr Susanne Ludgate, Clinical Director of the MHRA, said in a statement: \"Clinical evidence shows that patients have a small risk of suffering complications from having metal-on-metal hip implants... \"As a precautionary measure, we have today issued updated patient management and monitoring advice to surgeons and doctors that they should annually monitor patients for the lifetime of their metal-on-metal total hip replacements that are sized 36 millimetres or more because this particular type of hip replacement has a small risk of causing complications in patients. This updates previous advice that patients with this type of hip replacement need only be monitored for a minimum of five years after their operation.\" Concerns are centred on all-metal hips made of cobalt and chromium. As the parts of the joint rub together and wear, metal debris is generated. Potentially toxic metals from this debris can cause inflammation, destroying muscle and bone, and enter the bloodstream. Tony Nargol, a consultant surgeon at the University Hospital of North Tees told Newsnight/BMJ \"we are seeing patients with 10, 20, 50 times normal levels. I think our highest level is nearly 300\". Device recalled One all-metal hip device, manufactured by DePuy, a subsidiary of global health giant Johnson & Johnson, called the ASR was recalled in 2010. And the company, which is facing legal action from ASR patients, has set aside $3bn in case they have to pay compensation. But Mr Nargol's research suggests there are also problems with an all-metal version of DePuy's Pinnacle hip implant, which is still on sale. The Pinnacle has cups which can be lined with metal, ceramic or plastic. Mr Nargol's hospital tested the nearly 1,000 patients who had been fitted with the all-metal version of the Pinnacle there. \"The trust has brought back all the patients with Pinnacle cups - nearly 1,000 - tested them all, screened them, scanned them, and we know exactly what's happening,\" he said. \"And we found out that of about 970 patients, 75 failures related to metal debris, which is really quite high.\" DePuy told Newsnight and the BMJ that patient safety is their top priority and that clinical data showed that the Pinnacle was safe. Design change The Newsnight/BMJ investigation has also found that in a bid to prevent dislocation and increase movement DePuy, like other manufacturers, altered its design of the Pinnacle, making the \"head\" larger and part of the \"stem\" shorter. However, this was done without trials being conducted to demonstrate safety and effectiveness or post-marketing studies to detect any long-term problems and the MHRA was unaware that the design had been changed. Experts say it is likely that these design changes are responsible for the release of high levels of toxic metals into the body, yet regulators in the US and Europe failed to spot the changes, and despite concerns being raised, failed to warn doctors and patients of the potential dangers. Mr Nargol said he first told DePuy about damaged tissue in metal-on-metal Pinnacle patients in 2008. And e-mails, seen by Newsnight/BMJ, show that Japanese surgeons warned DePuy in 2009 that metal debris from the all-metal Pinnacle was harming patients. In 2010, a senior DePuy executive said in an internal document that he was \"concerned\" about problems with the metal-on-metal Pinnacle and similar implants. \"I feel the problem is emerging as more serious than first thought,\" he wrote. The Newsnight/BMJ investigation shows that in the face of mounting evidence of risk from metal-on-metal hips manufacturers remained silent and regulators failed to act. Internal company documents, seen by Newsnight/BMJ, show that as early as 2005 DePuy was aware of the damage that could be done to patients by metal-on metal-implants. This included the possibility that they might increase the chances of patients getting some types of cancer: \"In addition to inducing potential changes in immune function, there has been concern for some time that wear debris may be carcinogenic,\" one memo said. Regulatory failure \"This isn't the unlucky failure to spot the misdemeanours of one rogue company or the occasional unforeseen breakdown of a small number of devices,\" BMJ investigations editor Deborah Cohen, who has been working with Newsnight, said of the findings. \"It is the inability to prevent a whole class of failing hip implants from being used in hundreds of thousands of people globally.\" Carl Heneghan, Director of the Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine in Oxford, says that the fundamental problem is that artificial hips, breast implants, and other devices which are implanted in patients do not have to face the same rigorous tests new drugs do. He says that whereas drugs have to go through years of clinical trials \"you could get a device through with a two or three day literature review and no clinical data requirement at the current time\". And whereas drugs are cleared by a central body, manufacturers of breast or hip implants can choose who they want to approve their new devices. DePuy used the British Standards Institute, known in the UK for applying its \"kite mark\" to products it has approved. \"This is one very large uncontrolled experiment exposing millions of patients to an unknown risk. We will only find out about the safety of these devices after large numbers of people have already been exposed,\" says Michael Carome, Deputy Director of Public Citizen's Health Research Group, a US not for profit consumer advocacy group.",

The teacher worries about how her colleagues will treat her following her absence and she is concerned they won't understand or care about how she feels leaving her daughter for the first time. And those fears have been compounded by the radio silence she has experienced since she left work. \"I tried to keep in touch but all communication was ignored,\" she says. She texted colleagues after the baby was born but mostly received taut, single-sentence replies. She was also sent a card with the wrong baby name inside. \"They didn't even tell me that one of my colleagues was leaving and a senior member of the team was signed off with stress. I guess they blamed me for the extra pressure,\" she says. Denise describes the school where she teaches as having a highly pressurised environment and an ambitious ethos. It also has a high turnover of staff. \"Nothing will put me off having more children but this experience has killed any ambition I had to climb the ranks, and certainly any sense of duty I have to my department. If I get pregnant again quickly when I go back, so be it - it's been made very clear the department will go on without me.\" 'Cut off' Denise was speaking after ex-Labour minister MP Yvette Cooper told how she felt \"cut off\" by Whitehall officials when she took maternity leave for a second time. The mother-of-three described Communities Department staff as \"very unsupportive\" and said she had to \"fight\" to keep in touch with developments. Members of Parliament are not classed as employees so are not entitled to any specific provision for maternity leave. But it appears they are not the only group to experience career difficulties when taking time off to have children. In March, a poll suggested that one in seven of 1,000 women surveyed had lost their job while on maternity leave, while just under half reported a cut in hours or demotion. More than one tenth had been replaced in their jobs by the person who covered their leave. Maternity discrimination lawyers Slater & Gordon, who commissioned the poll, said many women appeared not to know where to turn for help and thought even the act of seeking help would damage their career prospects. It is against the law to dismiss or otherwise disadvantage an employee for a reason related to pregnancy or maternity leave. But what are the rules around simply keeping in touch? One often perpetuated myth is that employers are not allowed to contact employees while on maternity leave - however the Work and Families Act 2006 makes it clear that \"reasonable contact\" is allowed. 'Worthless' So in effect, it is up to the two parties to work out the level of contact that they want to have. The employee is allowed 10 paid Keeping in Touch (Kit) days - where they can visit the office - although again, there is no obligation on either party to do this. An employer could fall foul of sex discrimination laws if they do not alert the woman about potential promotions or reorganisations within the company. And the Equality and Human Rights Commission says that, in particular, employers should keep in contact with an employee if they are at risk of being made redundant. Claire, not her real name, felt she was \"cut off\" when she went on maternity leave from her government post, leaving her feeling \"worthless\". She later resigned. She believes there needs to be monthly contact after an initial three months of grace for mother and baby. \"This could be done very informally via email or text or by pre-arranged phone call, or even letter,\" she says. \"It may even be nice to have another staff member make an informal home visit towards the end of the maternity leave just to bring the person returning to work up to speed with any changes and to check that their return is being managed satisfactorily.\" She says a \"personal touch\" is vital. Slater & Gordon go a step further. \"Changes to the law to set out the obligations upon employers to communicate effectively with maternity leavers would give women greater clarity as to what information they should be receiving during their absence,\" says employment lawyer Kiran Daurka. But Siobhan Freegard, founder of the Netmums website, says she believes the majority of women find it liberating to be away from work - and would find regular contact with the office stressful. \"The vast majority of women would be pleased to let go of the ropes and the ties [of work] because it is supposed to be a special time spent with your baby,\" she says. Jo Swinson, Minister for Employment Relations, describes current arrangements for maternity leave as \"old-fashioned and rigid\". She says that is why the government is introducing shared parental leave and pay, adding it is \"committed to making sure that more businesses make the best use of women's talents throughout the organisation, from the shop floor to the boardroom\". \"It will also allow women greater flexibility to return to work earlier if they wish, reducing the impact of pregnancy on women's careers,\" she says.",

Gain When a party wins a constituency from another party, it is said to have \"gained\" it from the other. General election Election at which all seats in the House of Commons are contested. Hung parliament If after an election no party has an overall majority, then parliament is said to be \"hung\".

Majority government When one party wins more than half of the seats in the Commons, they can rule alone in a majority government Mandate Politicians say they have a mandate, or authority, to carry out a policy when they have the backing of the electorate. Manifesto A public declaration of a party's ideas and policies, usually printed during the campaign. Once in power, a government is often judged by how many of its manifesto promises it manages to deliver. Marginal Seats where the gap between the two or more leading parties is relatively small. Often regarded as less than a 10% margin or requiring a swing (see below) of 5% or less, though very dependent on prevailing political conditions. Minority government A minority government is one that does not have a majority of the seats in Parliament. It means the government is less likely to be able to push through any legislative programme. Boris Johnson has suffered a number of defeats in Parliament over a no-deal Brexit because he does not have a majority. MP Strictly this includes members of the House of Lords, but in practice means only members of the House of Commons. When an election is called Parliament is dissolved and there are no more MPs until it assembles again. Nomination papers A candidate must be nominated on these documents by 10 voters living in the constituency. Opinion poll A survey asking people's opinion on one or more issues.

By agreement with the broadcasters, each party is allowed a certain number according to its election strength and number of candidates fielded.

Psephologist A person who studies voting and voting patterns. Purdah This is the time between the announcement of an election and the final election results. During this period media organisations have to ensure any political reporting is balanced and is not likely to influence the outcome of the election. Recount If a result is close, any candidate may ask for a recount. The process can be repeated several times if necessary until the candidates are satisfied. The returning officer has the final say on whether a recount takes place. Returning officer The official in charge of elections in each of the constituencies.

Safe seat A safe seat is a constituency where an MP has a sufficiently large majority to be considered unwinnable by the opposition. Spin room The attempt to place a favourable interpretation on an event so that people or the media will interpret it in that way. Those performing this act are known as spin doctors. Spoiled ballot Any ballot paper that is not marked clearly, eg with more than one box ticked or with writing scrawled across it, is described as a spoiled ballot and does not count towards the result. Tactical voting This is when people vote not for the party they really support, but for another party in order to keep out a more disliked rival. Target seat In theory, any seat that a party contests and held by a rival is one of its targets. In practice, a target seat is one that a party believes it can win and puts a lot of effort into doing so. Turnout Turnout is the percentage of eligible voters who cast a ballot on polling day. Vote of no confidence It is usually the leader of the opposition, currently Jeremy Corby, who calls for a vote of no confidence, in an attempt to topple the government. If more MPs vote for the motion than against it, then the government has 14 days to try to win back the confidence of MPs through another vote – while the opposition parties try to form an alternative government. If nothing is resolved, then a general election is triggered. Westminster The UK Parliament is located in the Palace of Westminster in the centre of London and the term is often used as an alternative to Parliament. Working majority A working majority in Parliament is what a government needs to carry out its legislative programme without risk of defeat. It means the government can rely on at least one more vote than the opposition parties. However, in the current Parliament, the government no longer has a majority and MPs from a range of opposition parties have joined forces to form a parliamentary majority big enough to defeat the government over plans for a no-deal Brexit. Election translator What do all the terms mean? Some key terms Canvassing Is when supporters of a party ask voters who they will vote for and try to drum up support for their own candidates. They do this by promoting the party's policies and their candidates' personal qualities. Deposit Each candidate must pay a £500 deposit to run for parliament. The money is paid by the parties or the candidate themselves, and they get it back if they win 5% or more of the votes cast. Dissolution of Parliament Parliament is broken up - or dissolved - 25 working days before election day. When parliament is dissolved there are no MPs, but the prime minister and ministers remain in their jobs. Exit poll A survey in which voters leaving a polling station are asked how they voted. The results are analysed and used to forecast the overall result of the election. Hung parliament An election where no one party wins a majority is said to end in a hung parliament. Usually the largest party then tries to form a partnership with another party as a coalition government. Majority A majority in Parliament means one party has at least one more seat than all the others put together. That means it is likely to win votes on its policies and plans in Parliament, which can then be implemented. Opinion poll Opinion polls ask people which party they will vote for in the election. The results are used to suggest how much of the vote each party could get across the whole country. But the vote share does not necessarily translate to who gets a majority of seats in Parliament. Polls are also used to find out opinions on a range of issues Postal vote Anyone registered to vote can apply for a postal vote ahead of the election. Postal votes are particularly useful for people who can't get to a polling station on election day. Information on how to apply for a postal vote is available online. Tactical voting An effort to get voters to back a party they don't really support in an effort to defeat another party. Parties with similar policies sometimes do deals so that one stands aside to give the other a better chance of winning but the practice can be controversial. What are the parties promising you?

Solihull and Coventry councils have also been invited to join. A possible name for the body has not yet been decided, although \"Greater Birmingham Council\" has been ruled out. Speaking about the proposals, announced earlier on Friday, Sandwell Council leader Darren Cooper said he \"threw the gauntlet down to Birmingham\" to join the existing joint committee of the four Black Country councils. He described the \"super council\" as \"a tier over the separate councils with a link to government\" with \"no extra cost and no extra politicians\". The business of local government, including elections and setting council tax rates, would be unchanged by the creation of the combined authority, Mr Cooper said. Birmingham City Council's leader, Sir Albert Bore, said he was pleased with the proposals and envisioned an authority \"stretching from Wolverhampton to Coventry and beyond, and from east Staffordshire to Redditch\" which could \"rebalance the national economy\". Jerry Blackett, chief executive of Birmingham Chamber of Commerce, said: \"Birmingham and the Black Country have shown some really strong leadership at last and government will listen. \"When we get our act together we're going to be 10-15% of the UK economy.\" Analysis: Patrick Burns, West Midlands political editor, BBC Sunday Politics Suspend your disbelief. First, our leaders at Westminster tell us that after over 100 years of centralising power at Westminster, suddenly they can't give it away fast enough. And now those mortal foes, Birmingham and the Black Country, are joining together in the hope that they can persuade Coventry and Solihull in a combined authority. The idea is to lever in government funding and inward investment in a concerted way to boost skills and develop coherent economic and transport strategies across a conurbation of 3.4 million people. No additional local taxes, no additional politicians. The whole thing would be headed by a board of the council leaders. But what would it be called?... That could be where the trouble starts. No existing authorities would be dissolved as a result of the combined authority. The leaders would instead form a board to collaborate. \"We're also committed to doing everything we can to encourage Coventry and Solihull to bring their considerable economic strength to a combined authority,\" said Roger Lawrence, leader of Wolverhampton City Council. Bob Sleigh, leader of Solihull Council, said the authority was \"open to discussions\". Responding to Sir Bore's comments on an authority \"stretching to Redditch\", Worcestershire County Council leader councillor Adrian Hardman told Worcester News: \"It's just another way of Birmingham telling us what to do. I'm not up for a regional quango, a dictatorship ran by one man. \"We've had no talks and don't plan to.\" Details for the combined authority are expected to be produced by April and approved by the end of 2015. The council leaders said the move would help attract hundreds of millions of pounds of investment to create jobs and improve transport. Erdington MP Jack Dromey tweeted his approval of the plans, saying: \"There is nothing we cannot do in the West Midlands if we work together. The combined authority in the heart of England is a landmark.\" Catherine Staite, director of the University of Birmingham's institute of local government studies, said she could foresee no disadvantages. \"I think it's sensible. The West Midlands is a complex area - different sizes, a number of different unitary authorities. Making it work will be about developing mature relationships and dealing with differences without derailing the relationship,\" she said. The regional agreement follows the similar formation of Greater Manchester, described as a \"northern powerhouse\" by Chancellor George Osborne this week. There leaders of the area's 10 councils work together in the country's first statutory \"super council\", called the Greater Manchester Combined Authority.",

Cases could be dealt with virtually for the time being, it argued. But the Ministry of Justice said it was \"simply untrue\" to suggest people attending courts or tribunals were at \"elevated risk\". A spokesperson added that it was \"clear that justice must continue to be done\". The PCS's demand for court closures comes amid a growing backlog of cases in England and Wales due to the pandemic. In the crown courts, 54,000 cases have yet to be heard, with the inspectorates for policing, prisons, probation and prosecutions expressing \"grave concerns\" about the impact on criminal justice. 'Unnecessary risk' But the PCS - which represents ushers, security staff and Crown Prosecution Service employees - said 600 Covid cases had been confirmed on the HM Courts and Tribunals Service (HMCTS) estate since 24 November. It called for lateral flow testing at every court and for every prisoner attending hearings. PCS general secretary Mark Serwotka said: \"It is obvious that Covid cases are at unacceptable levels and HMCTS staff are being put at unnecessary risk while courts remain open.\" He added: \"Our members do an invaluable job keeping the justice system going during this global pandemic but their safety is our union's number one priority. \"The technology exists for crucial cases to be heard virtually and this is what now needs to happen. \"We are not ruling out industrial action if HMCTS management fail to act.\" A source told the BBC there was a \"strong likelihood court staff would be balloted for strike action\" unless the situation changed. 'Loss of capacity' The Law Society, which represents solicitors, agreed with the PCS. President David Greene said closing courts appeared to conflict with \"the imperative to mitigate\" the growing backlog of cases, but argued there was \"almost certain to be a significant loss of capacity due to court closures following outbreaks of coronavirus, and due to staff, lawyers, judiciary and parties falling sick\". \"We believe the measures we propose represent the least bad option for ensuring that courts can continue to operate safely,\" he added. Government coronavirus guidelines state that fulfilling a legal duty - such as attending court as a duty lawyer or jury member - is a reasonable excuse for leaving home. A Ministry of Justice spokesperson said: \"Throughout this pandemic the government has been clear that justice must continue to be done.\" Every building the department operated met government Covid guidelines, which remained \"sufficient to deal with the new strain of the virus\". \"Positive test numbers are consistent with the wider community and it's likely that the vast majority contracted the virus outside courts,\" the spokesperson said \"It is simply untrue to suggest people are at an elevated risk of infection when at a court or tribunal.\" During the first lockdown, which started in March last year, fewer than half of the courts in England and Wales were kept open, contributing to the current backlog.",

The EIS Further Education Lecturers' Association (Fela) is calling for a \"fair\" pay rise and has rejected the 2.5% offer from the colleges. But Colleges Scotland described the pay demands as \"unreasonable\". It is expected that many classes will be cancelled but college buildings and facilities such as libraries are likely to remain open. EIS general secretary Larry Flanagan said: \"Further education lecturers have not received a cost-of-living pay increase for almost three years, since April 2016. \"In hope of reaching a negotiated agreement, the EIS recently submitted an amended proposal which we believed would be likely to break the impasse. \"The EIS is asking only for a fair cost-of-living increase, similar to that already awarded to college support staff and also in-line with public sector pay policy.\" He added: \"Management's claims of unaffordability of our claim have already been shown to be based on some rather questionable calculations. \"The actual costs of the award to support staff and our pay claim for lecturers are practically identical, yet Colleges Scotland continues to push the fantasy that one claim is affordable and sustainable while the other is unaffordable and unrealistic.\" Complex talks Lecturers voted to take strike action last year and details of the pay dispute are complex. Many lecturers have had substantial pay rises in recent years because of an agreement to equalise rates of pay at different colleges. Many would also get such payments this year. However, some other lecturers - especially those who worked at the colleges which previously had the highest rates of pay - have seen their basic salaries remain unchanged for three years. The EIS Fela believes the cost-of-living pay rise for all lecturers and rises to help standardise salaries should be treated as distinct issues. John Gribben, director of employment services at umbrella body Colleges Scotland Employers' Association, said: \"It is disappointing that the EIS-Fela has not suspended strike action whilst negotiations are ongoing. We have met with the EIS-Fela on 10 occasions to discuss pay and will be meeting them again on 7 February to try and end this disruptive strike action. \"The EIS-Fela is aware that colleges are already having to make cuts to finance the additional pay offer which they have rejected. Their unreasonable pay demands would mean fewer courses, fewer students, and fewer lecturing jobs in the college sector. \"College lecturers in Scotland are by far the best paid across the UK and they have rejected a combined pay deal that would increase national average pay by over 12%, or more than £4,000, from 2017/20.\"",

Sources said there was a polling station in Newport where no votes were cast in the election for Gwent Police commissioner.

            "input": "Wales' former first minister died on Thursday, aged 77. He was elected as an MP in 1987 and became an AM when the assembly was created in 1999. Many have paid tribute to his wit and charm, with former first minister Alun Michael describing him as \"the absolute master of the one-liner\". Here are some of his best quotes. In 1998, he appeared on BBC's Newsnight and when asked by Jeremy Paxman if he wanted to be first minister, Mr Morgan replied: \"Do one-legged ducks swim in a circle?\" It prompted a bemused Paxman to ask: \"Is that Welsh for yes?\" On finally getting the job of first minister in February 2000, he said: \"I'm going to uncork the Welsh champagne bottle and let it fizz.\" During an assembly debate on police reform, he commented: \"The only thing which isn't up for grabs is no change and I think it's fair to say it's all to play for, except for no change.\" In 2003, Mr Morgan took Conservative AM Jonathan Morgan to task after he criticised the quality of assembly debates, saying: \"It's like a child shooting both its parents and then complaining about the food in the orphanage.\" The Queen may not have been amused the following year, when he arrived late for her visit to Builth Wells in Powys. He defended himself saying: \"I wasn't late, the Queen was early.\" Mr Morgan also had choice words about opponents and different ruling regimes. On the Conservatives, he quipped: \"The Tories' relationship with Wales is based on trust and understanding. We don't trust them and they don't understand us.\" And on the difference between his administration and that of his predecessor Alun Michael, he said: \"We had developed a reputation for political shenanigans and being incapable of running our own affairs, and that's how it appeared to people. \"Drama is fine but if drama implies that the Welsh couldn't run a whelk stall, then that's a problem.\" Mr Morgan once said an MP in New Labour stood for \"Material for Promotion, Mandelson Poodle and Millbank Pagee,\" while his version of Welsh for spin doctor was \"a practitioner of gyratory medicine\". Paying tribute to Tony Blair after the prime minister announced his departure, Mr Morgan said: \"It's very strange for me to be standing here today talking about a person who shafted me on one occasion but on the other hand, compared to what has happened with Iraq, I think that's pretty small beer to be honest with you. \"Life is far too short to be bearing grudges of that sort.\" Following a heart scare in 2007, Mr Morgan said he would like to spend his last day in the company of dolphins, whose staple diet of oily fish he adopted. \"Because their interest is mackerel and my interest is mackerel... I want to be able to communicate with the dolphin to say, 'well I have changed my diet to something much more like yours now'.\"",

            "input": "By Jon KellyBBC News Magazine Saturday night in Inverness. Outside a McDonald's restaurant, a scuffle between two men breaks out. Three police officers arrive to intervene. So far, so mundane. Except that strapped around the hips of each of the policemen approaching the brawl is a holstered Glock 17 semi-automatic pistol. It's a sight that once would have been unthinkable. In this corner of the Scottish Highlands - an area with one of the lowest crime rates in the UK - the officers showing up to a relatively workaday disturbance are armed. Although every police force has a firearms unit, for decades it has been an article of faith that in the mainland UK, almost uniquely among major industrialised nations, the police do not carry guns as a matter of course. But with little fanfare at first, a policy of routinely allowing specialist officers to wear sidearms as they walk the streets of Scotland has come into being. After the incident in Inverness was captured by a local photographer on 12 July, local politicians expressed fears that the tradition of an unarmed constabulary was being surreptitiously eroded - a charge that would have implications for everyone in the UK. John Finnie, an independent Member of the Scottish Parliament and former police officer, was approached by a constituent who said he had seen armed officers at the finishing line of the Highland Cross biathlon in the sleepy town of Beauly. The man told the MSP he \"felt less safe\", assuming some sort of major incident was under way. Other sightings of armed officers in incongruous settings had emerged - at a bakery in the village of Brora, at a branch of Aldi in Inverness. They were also photographed at a routine traffic incident in Glasgow city centre. Police Scotland, the single Scotland-wide force, says when specialist officers are not deployed on active firearms duty, it is expected that they carry out normal policing duties while carrying their sidearms. It says it is not the first force in the UK to routinely arm officers, and that 42 forces in England and Wales \"carry the same standing authority and deploy similarly\". There seems however to be a lack of clarity about how widespread the practice is. A spokesman for the Association of Chief Police Officers says Police Scotland's policy has precedents in London in 2009 and Bedfordshire in 2012. The Metropolitan Police, however, says its officers on routine patrols are not armed. This policy was introduced by the former Strathclyde force in 2008, and followed by Tayside in 2009 and Northern Constabulary just before the single force was created in 2013. Hitherto, firearms officers had to retrieve their weapons under a senior officer's authorisation from a locked safe in an armed response vehicle. Until this point, most people hadn't actually noticed that the policy had altered. Jimmy Gray, the leader of Highland Council, says Northern Constabulary's Joint Police Board was not fully informed what the change would mean. \"It horrifies most people around here,\" he says. The British position Why British police don’t have guns Following an outcry, however, the Scottish Justice Minister Kenny MacAskill addressed MSPs at Holyrood on Tuesday to defend it. He said the public \"understands and accepts\" the need for a \"small number\" of officers to be armed and for the chief constable of Police Scotland, Sir Stephen House, to have operational independence over their deployment. But in the Highlands, where 16 officers are authorised to routinely carry sidearms, hostility remains strong among elected representatives, who fear that the change in tactics will only encourage criminals to arm themselves more heavily. Finnie, MSP for the Highlands and Islands, has led the opposition in the Scottish Parliament. He says it is unnecessary as officers are walking around \"the safest place in the UK\" with sidearms, and that the policy will only serve to frighten people. Critics pointed out the widening of the policy comes after figures for 2012-13 showed firearm offences in Scotland had fallen by 32% to the lowest for 10 years. Homicides, attempted murders and robberies in which firearms were involved were all down too. Petitions opposing the policy were started by local MP Danny Alexander and the Inverness Courier newspaper. Some 59 of 80 Highland councillors supported a motion tabled at the full council calling for a review. But following a meeting with Highland councillors in July, divisional commander Ch Supt Elaine Ferguson said the policy was unlikely to change. Ever since Robert Peel created the Metropolitan Police in 1829, the British force's unarmed status has been central to its identity. Some in London were issued with revolvers prior to 1936, but after that date only trained officers ranked at sergeant or above were issued with guns, and even then only if they could show a good reason. This was underpinned by the principle of policing by consent - the notion that officers owe their primary duty to those they serve, rather than to the state. Historically the only forces in the UK which were routinely armed were in Northern Ireland, the Ministry of Defence Police and the Civil Nuclear Constabulary. According to Richard Garside, director of the Centre of Crime and Justice Studies, the sight of armed police has become more common in recent decades at airports and at places like the House of Commons. Cases like the murder of PC Sharon Beshenivsky, shot dead during a robbery in 2005, or of the three plain-clothes officers murdered by Harry Roberts in west London in 1966, have led to calls for the police to be armed. The international model In November 2011, Met Commissioner Bernard Hogan-Howe called for police response officers to be routinely armed with Tasers and in 2007 the centre-right think-tank Policy Exchange found 72% of 2,156 adults wanted to see more armed police patrols. But a 2006 survey of 47,328 Police Federation members found 82% did not want officers to be routinely armed on duty, despite almost half saying their lives had been \"in serious jeopardy\" during the previous three years. Nonetheless, Garside says the policy in Scotland represents an \"escalation\" and will appear surprising to a public which still cherishes a Dixon of Dock Green ideal of policing. \"It does change the dynamic between the police and the public,\" he says. \"It's always slightly alarming or unusual to see police officers in the UK carrying guns.\" Police Scotland insists that it is a long way from routinely arming those who serve in it. There has been no increase in the number of armed personnel. Out of 17,318 Scottish officers, only 275 routinely carry guns while on duty - 1.6% of the total. Because they work shifts, a much smaller number will be on duty at any one time. In a statement, Deputy Chief Constable Ian Livingstone said the change in policy was necessary to correct a \"previous postcode lottery of services\", adding that shootings in Dunblane, Cumbria, Hungerford and Northumberland demonstrated that rural areas were not immune from the threat of gun crime. He added that it made sense for armed officers \"to support their colleagues in local policing divisions through regular patrols and routine tasks\" when they are not carrying out their specialist duty - citing the example of a 79-year-old woman who was rescued from the Caledonian Canal in Inverness by armed officers, who were the closest unit on hand to assist. But Finnie says it isn't necessary for them to wear sidearms strapped to their hips while they carry out this kind of assistance. During his 10 years as a dog handler, he says, he would regularly be called to assist colleagues dealing with robberies or domestic violence incidents, but \"I didn't take my 90lb snarling animal along with me\". In addition, Dr Mick North, whose five-year-old daughter Sophie died at Dunblane Primary in 1996, hit out at the force for citing the tragedy in support of its policy. He said changes to the system would not have helped as \"the incident was all over in three minutes\". Police Scotland say they have only received one complaint from a member of the public about the policy, but a quarterly review in September \"will take account of the views raised so far\".

An inquest into the deaths was opened and adjourned on Thursday. Prior to the incident, Mr Atherton had been out drinking, while Ms McGoldrick was out separately with a group which included her sister and niece. After they all returned to the semi-detached home in Greenside Avenue, a row broke out. Mr Atherton then went outside to get his shotgun, which is thought to have been stored in his car because he planned to go on a rabbit-shooting trip the following day.

'Tragic time' Laura McGoldrick, from another relationship, was injured by pellets from the shotgun but ran upstairs and escaped through a window with her boyfriend.

Daniel Walsh, 30, said he cut up the body after finding him dead on 20 June but was convicted of murder last month.

The trial had heard on the last day he was seen alive, Mr Snell told police that Walsh had been stealing from his bank account. The cause of Mr Snell's death remains unknown due to the damage to his corpse, the court previously heard. The majority of his body parts were found in the summer of 2019 but his head and arms were discovered in February this year after Walsh marked their location on a map for officers. In the days after murdering his Mr Snell, Walsh bought saws, rubble sacks and an incinerator but also visited a massage parlour and casino, the court heard. Walsh, who was jailed for stealing £5,000 from Mr Snell in 2009, refused to attend the hearing. Judge Shant said: \"The cause of his death remains unascertained. \"That is because only you know how you killed him.\" But she said the attempts to hide the body were \"gruesome and systematic\". \"What you did over the next few days was systematically do everything in your power to get away with the murder of Graham Snell. \"You dismembered his body, you burnt his belongings and items you had used to dismember him. \"Last but not least you took a taxi to a badger sett which you were previously aware of and dug up many holes in which you deposited different parts of him in the hope no doubt that he would be eaten by the badgers,\" Judge Shant said. Walsh also applied for an emergency passport with the intention of fleeing to France but was arrested before he could travel, the court heard. Police said Mr Walsh referred to the older man as \"uncle\" and Mr Snell called his lodger \"nephew\", but there was no family link. Follow BBC East Midlands on Facebook. Twitter, or Instagram.

            "input": "By Adam EastonBBC News, Warsaw Why run-off presents Poles with clear choice If the incumbent President Andrzej Duda is re-elected for another five-year term, his allies, the nationalist Law and Justice-led government will continue their socially conservative policies, efforts to control independent institutions and generous state handout programme. If the more liberal mayor of Warsaw, Rafal Trzaskowski, wins, he has said he will stand up for minorities and use the president's right to veto legislation to block what he sees as the government's attempts to politicise the judiciary and attack democratic values. Mr Trzaskowski says he will co-operate with the government but a victory for him would almost certainly start a war between the two branches of power. Both men have distinct visions for the future of Poland. What does Andrzej Duda believe? President Duda, 48, is a lawyer by training. He won a surprising victory in 2015 representing the young, moderate face of the Law and Justice party, which had lost a string of elections under all powerful party leader and candidate, Jaroslaw Kaczynski. He is a socially conservative Roman Catholic, who says he wants to defend the traditional family model. On the one hand, he supports the government's popular and generous welfare scheme, symbolised by the 500+ programme, under which families receive 500 zloty (£100; €110; $125) per month for each child until the age of 18. Many Polish families have been lifted out of poverty as a result of the government's policies, and, for the first time since the end of communism in 1989, feel there is a party that cares about their needs. This is especially true in villages and small towns, where President Duda won an absolute majority of votes in the first round of the election two weeks ago. On the other hand, he has vowed to protect Polish families from what he calls an imported \"LGBT ideology\" that is aggressively trying to sexualise Polish children. In practice, sex education classes in Polish state schools do not exist. Instead students have more wide-ranging \"family life education\" classes, which may include sex education, often led by priests or nuns. President Duda is also a supporter of the government's legislative changes to take greater control over independent institutions, most prominently the public media and judiciary. Poland's public broadcaster, Polish TV, is funded by the taxpayer and is bound by its charter to present balanced coverage of political events. Instead, its main evening news bulletin praises the government and Mr Duda daily and attacks Mr Trzaskowski, accusing him of being in cahoots with Jewish and LGBT interest groups. Mr Duda has also strongly backed most of the government's changes to the judiciary that the EU and multiple international organisations say have undermined its independence and the rule of law. Relations with the EU have been strained as a result and Mr Duda once called it an \"imaginary community from which we don't gain much\". Under the current budget, Poland is the biggest net recipient of EU funds. What about Rafal Trzaskowski? Mr Trzaskowski, also 48, is a deputy leader of Poland's centre-right Civic Platform party, which governed Poland between 2007-2015, mostly under Donald Tusk before he was elected to head the European Council. His party has always performed best in large metropolitan cities. In the first round, he won 30.46% of the vote to Mr Duda's 43.5%, scoring his biggest victory in the affluent Warsaw district of Wilanow. In an interview with the BBC, Mr Trzaskowski acknowledged that some members of the government he was a minister in had at times been a \"bit patronising\" towards voters. Although he's economically liberal, he said Law and Justice had correctly identified income inequality as a problem that needed to be addressed with programmes like 500+, a policy he says he supports. He represents the more liberal wing of the party, and, as Warsaw mayor, has taken part in LGBTQ Equality marches and proposed introducing classes in the capital's schools to counteract bullying against minorities. However, he said recently he opposed the adoption of children by same sex couples, which most Poles do according to surveys, after President Duda tabled an amendment to the country's constitution to expressly forbid it. As president, Mr Trzaskowski's power would mostly be limited to vetoing legislation as any bills he presents himself could be rejected by the governing camp's majority in parliament. He told the BBC that Poland was still democratic but its \"democracy is under attack\" as the government was politicising independent institutions, such as the judiciary, and trying to strip local government of its powers. He said he would veto further attempts to politicise the courts and propose making the office of prosecutor general independent once again. Under the current government the justice minister is also prosecutor general, giving him extraordinary power over the conduct of prosecutions. As a former Europe minister, Mr Trzaskowski says he wants Poland to take a more active role in the EU negotiations. He worries that once the financial benefit of membership is reduced in future, the current government's antipathy to some aspects of the European project could eventually lead to Poland leaving the EU.",

            "input": "Dave LeeNorth America technology reporter So, barring any surprises – a Steve Jobs-esque “one more thing” – we have a pretty good idea of what to expect when Tim Cook heads out on stage on Wednesday. He’ll do it as the chief executive of the first US company to reach a value of $1tn (£768bn). To keep it that way, Apple will be building on past successes rather than introducing anything dramatically new. We’ll likely see three new iPhones, a revamped Apple Watch, and maybe some new iPads. Later in the year, rumour suggests a budget laptop may be on the way. What we won’t see, however, are some of the innovative leaps being promised by some of Apple’s competitors. Samsung plans a device with a flexible display by the end of the year. OnePlus said its next phone will have a fingerprint sensor built into the screen. Huawei, which recently overtook Apple in global smartphone sales, has said it is working on a flexible device of its own. But, of course, Apple’s strength is in ignoring such emerging technologies until they feel the time is right to build it into their products. As far as they see it, there’s no point in technology for technology’s sake – a philosophy that has been validated year after year. \"Right now the iPhone franchise is so strong that it feels like it's almost untouchable,\" says Ben Wood, an analyst at CCS Insight. \"Even at a time when rivals such as Samsung are having to push the envelope on developing new technology such as folding screens.\" Last year, it was the iPhone’s 10-year anniversary, and fans were expecting a reinvention of the device. What they got was the iPhone X – Ten – that, while not revolutionising the range, did at least push it into something of a new design phase. It also brought the iPhone into a new price bracket: $999. Anticipation is not nearly as high this time around. This is what is referred to as an “S” year, when Apple doesn’t make any major changes to its device, save for some internal improvements – and tacks an “S” to the device name to make it clear. So, in keeping with that theme, we’re expecting an iPhone XS. As well as that, leaks suggest another, larger version – one which may make $999 the “cheaper” option of the two. That bigger version might be called the XS Max, a name which to me sounds more like a muscle-building powder supplement, but hey - I’m not a marketer. Apple’s stock price went up dramatically when the company revealed the average selling price of an iPhone was going up. Some had been concerned - Apple was very much testing the water with its iPhone X’s $999 price point last year, its most expensive phone ever. Twelve months on, the answer to “will people spend that much on an iPhone?” is, according to sales figures, an emphatic “yes”. With the XS Max we’ll see how far Apple can push it. Beyond the XS and XS Max, completing the set in 2018 may be a budget version of the iPhone X. If so, that would mean the home button, the circular button that made the iPhone instantly recognisable, will be no more. While the iPhone remains Apple’s bread and butter, accounting for the vast amount of the firm’s profits, a growing part of its business comes from other areas, such as the Apple Watch. The device hasn’t seen the blockbuster sales some might have expected since its launch in 2015 but it’s comfortably the biggest-selling smartwatch on the market. Leaks suggest we may see a new Apple Watch with a slightly bigger screen and more sophisticated heart-monitoring capabilities. Three years since the original, I predict the Apple Watch being a big seller this Christmas – early adopters are primed to upgrade, and those who held back might now be tempted. Apple Watch sales are good for Apple’s wider business – it only works with the iPhone, naturally. How were the Apple leaks found? Several rumour sites compete for tidbits of information about Apple's forthcoming products and often manage to share details before the tech giant would like them to be disclosed. But at the end of last month, 9to5Mac's publication of what appeared to be official marketing images of one of the new iPhones and a new Apple Watch was a real coup for the site. \"To my memory, this is unprecedented,\" wrote the veteran Apple commentator John Gruber. After much speculation about how he achieved his scoop, 9to5Mac's Guilherme Rambo has now revealed the technique he used via his Twitter account. He wrote that he had studied the web addresses that Apple had used to host images of products announced at its last \"special event\" and deduced what the equivalents might be this time round. He said he had not expected to find anything when he typed in the addresses, but was successful on his first attempt. \"Looking at the naming for past events, sometimes they combine multiple things into one recap image, which makes them harder to guess,\" he explained. \"We managed to guess the iPhone and Watch ones because they are 'hero' shots.\" \"Apple took them down immediately after we published,\" he added. The iPhone-maker is likely to keep its secrets more closely guarded next time round. _____ Follow Dave Lee on Twitter @DaveLeeBBC Do you have more information about this or any other technology story?

Only one of the original 17th Century bells is still in use at the church. 'Poor sound' Eight bells were replaced in 1903 to improve the sound quality but, due to costs, the other bells were only refurbished. Anthony Bulteel, ringing master, said: \"The eighth bell was simply re-hung but, since then, ringers and non-ringers have commented on its poor sound. \"It is noticeable as the fourth note when the church clock chimes. It can be heard every quarter of an hour as a clunk.\" The bell was cast in 1768 by Thomas Bilbie of Chew Stoke. The church says it is \"one of poor quality\" and is 15% lighter than it should be. Three years ago, a bell tuning expert analysed five parts of its sound and it failed all the tests. 'Ring out' It was in the same year that the church decided that a replacement was well overdue and began fundraising. Now £29,000 has been raised towards the £32,000 cost and further donations are being sought. The new bell, weighing three-quarters of a tonne, was cast by Taylor's bell foundry in Loughborough in November last year. Mr Bulteel said he was looking forward to \"hearing it ring out over Bristol\". The existing bell will remain in the church tower and be used as a Sanctus bell during Sunday Eucharist services.",

It said UK passengers are paying for a \"broken\" rail franchising model. However, the DfT said the \"imbalanced\" report made \"inaccurate claims\". Meg Hillier, chair of the Public Accounts Committee, said: \"The operation of the Thameslink, Southern and Great Northern franchise has been a multi-faceted shambles causing untold misery for passengers. \"Meanwhile, the East Coast franchise has failed for a third time because of wildly inaccurate passenger growth forecasts. She said: \"In both cases the government appears to have seen its task as simply to contract out the service, with wholly inadequate consideration given to passengers' best interests and behaviour.\" The Thameslink, Southern and Great Northern is the government's largest passenger rail franchise, operating trains in the South East. Govia Thameslink began running the franchise in September 2014. Between July 2015 and March 2017, 146,000 trains were cancelled and more were delayed than on any other franchise. Southern services have suffered major disruption over the past two years from strikes called by rail unions including the RMT. In awarding the franchise, the Department for Transport \"overlooked the poor condition of the infrastructure of the rail network\", the Public Accounts Committee said. It was also \"ambivalent about the risk of industrial action and neglected to engage constructively with rail unions\". East Coast woes The committee also criticised the East Coast franchise, which was due to be run by Stagecoach and Virgin Trains until 2023. But in February, Transport Secretary Chris Grayling said the rail franchise would need new arrangements \"within a very small number of months and no more\" after Stagecoach found it couldn't make payments. The committee said the government had \"failed to learn the lessons from previous failures of the franchise, and has again allowed the operator to promise more than it could deliver\". It added that \"passenger growth forecasts were wildly wrong\" leading to inaccurate forecasts about how much money Virgin Trains East Coast would make. 'Improved dramatically' However, the Department for Transport said the Public Accounts Committee had produced \"an imbalanced report that fails to grasp the complexity of the situation\". A DfT spokesman said that Southern disruption had been \"unacceptable... but services have improved dramatically\". He said: \"Our franchising model already puts passengers and taxpayers first and has doubled the number of passengers using trains since privatisation reversed decades of decline and underinvestment under British Rail.\" A spokesman for Govia Thameslink said its Southern services were now \"a third more reliable compared to 2016 when the effect of industrial action was at its worst\". Stagecoach and Virgin Trains said in a joint statement: \"We have met or exceeded all of our contractual commitments on the East Coast and have never lost sight of our focus on customers.\" They added they were progressing with an £140m investment programme. Network Rail said it had increased its involvement with franchise planning. Mark Carne, Network Rail chief executive, said: \"The PAC and I are in agreement that priorities and incentives of Network Rail and franchise operators need to be aligned.\" \"We continue to work with government and industry partners to bring track and train together to deliver a better railway for a better Britain,\" Mr Carne added.",

Mrs Foster was speaking after it emerged Michelle O'Neill has still not been interviewed over her attendance. It is despite a police request being made almost three months ago. Mrs Foster said a dangerous perception is growing that the police are treating the matter differently to other public gatherings. Deputy First Minister O'Neill, who has yet to be interviewed by police about her attendance, also expressed frustration that the matter had not been dealt with. Earlier this week, PSNI Chief Constable Simon Byrne told BBC News NI an investigation into the funeral was in \"its end stages\". Setting a time The funeral on 30 June prompted a major political row in Northern Ireland. Sinn Féin members were accused of ignoring Covid rules by attending an event that saw hundreds line the streets of west Belfast at a time when there were strict limitations in place. Liaison between police and Mrs O'Neill's legal representatives has been ongoing for weeks to set a time and date. Police are facing mounting questions over the length of time the process is taking, with critics highlighting that fines have been issued immediately for other Covid regulation breaches, such as at Black Lives Matter protests in the summer. \"I just think that there's a need to get it dealt with as quickly as possible,\" said Mrs Foster on Friday. \"I mean I know that the police will say that there were particular issues around this but, look, I mean 30 June was when this happened, we're now coming up into Christmas and there hasn't been any decisions made in relation to prosecutions.\" She added that the public deserves to \"have clarity\" on the issue, and that there was concern people would perceive a two-tier policing system. \"I think the public deserves to have clarity in relation to that. And I hope we get it very soon.\" 'I am frustrated' Ms O'Neill said there was a need to bring the matter to a conclusion. \"I am frustrated because it does rumble on,\" she said. \"So I look forward to an end being put to it, it being clarified and everything being dealt with.\" Speaking to BBC News NI earlier this week, the PSNI's Mr Byrne said \"widespread violence and disorder\" would have followed any attempt to disperse large crowds attending Mr Storey's funeral. Mr Byrne defended how it was handled and said the PSNI had not abdicated its responsibilities. An external police commander was commissioned to lead the PSNI probe into the funeral. Cumbria Police Deputy Chief Constable Mark Webster took on the investigation in July. Police Service of Northern Ireland Assistant Chief Constable Alan Todd, who oversaw the police operation on the day of the funeral, was challenged about the two-tier perception at a press conference on Friday. \"I understand the perception, I am not going to stand here and say I don't understand the perception because clearly I do,\" he replied.",

If it is breached, there are fears of more serious radioactive leaks. Officials have extended the danger zone, warning residents within 30km (18 miles) to evacuate or stay indoors. The government later said that radiation levels at the plant's main gate had fallen sharply. The crisis has been prompted by last Friday's 9.0-magnitude quake and tsunami in north-eastern Japan. On Tuesday morning, reactor 2 became the third to explode in four days at the Fukushima Daiichi plant. A fire also briefly broke out at reactor 4, and is believed to have caused radioactive leaks. Reactor 4 had been shut down before the quake for maintenance, but its spent nuclear fuel rods are still stored on the site. Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano said they were closely watching the remaining two reactors at the plant, 5 and 6, as they had begun overheating slightly. He said cooling seawater was being pumped into reactors 1 and 3 - which were returning to normal - and into reactor 2, which remained unstable. There was a hydrogen blast in reactor 3 on Monday, following another in reactor 1 on Saturday. Radiation levels in the Japanese capital - 250km (155 miles) away - were reported to be higher than normal, but officials said there were no health dangers. Flights cancelled Tokyo residents have been stocking up on supplies, with some stores selling out of items such as food, water, face masks and candles. Housewife Mariko Kawase, 34, told AFP news agency: \"I am shopping now because we may not be able to go out due to the radiation.\" Radiation levels in Chiba prefecture, next to Tokyo, were 10 times above normal levels, Kyodo News reports. In other developments: In a televised address, Prime Minister Naoto Kan said: \"There is still a very high risk of more radiation coming out.\" Homes sealed He said that 140,000 people living within between 20km (12 mile) and 30km of the plant were at risk and should not leave their homes. Some 70,000 residents within 20km have already been evacuated, and the premier urged anyone left in that exclusion zone to leave. \"Now we are talking about levels that can impact human health,\" said the chief cabinet secretary. He told residents: \"Please do not go outside. Please stay indoors. Please close windows and make your homes airtight. \"Don't turn on ventilators. Please hang your laundry indoors.\" The government also announced a 30-km no-fly zone above the plant to prevent planes spreading the radiation further afield. Rolling blackouts After Tuesday's blast, radiation dosages of up to 400 millisieverts per hour were recorded at the site. A single dose of 1,000 millisieverts causes temporary radiation sickness such as nausea and vomiting. Rolling blackouts would affect five million households on Tuesday, said Tokyo Electric Power Co (Tepco), which runs the 40-year-old plant. Japan's nuclear safety agency said earlier it suspected the latest blast may have damaged reactor 2's suppression chamber. The BBC's Chris Hogg in Tokyo says that would make it a more serious incident than the previous explosions, which were thought just to have damaged the buildings housing the reactors. The latest official death toll from the quake and tsunami stands at about 2,400 - but some estimates suggest at least 10,000 may have been killed. Thousands are still unaccounted for - including hundreds of tourists - while many remote towns and villages have not been reached. More than 500,000 people have been made homeless. The government has deployed 100,000 troops to lead the aid effort. The UK Foreign Office has updated its travel advice to warn against all non-essential travel to Tokyo and north-eastern Japan. British nationals and friends and relatives of those in Japan can contact the Foreign Office on +44(0) 20 7008 0000.",

It went from one day, being the person I'd always been, to the next - I felt like I was gutted like a fish, unable to feel any joy or hope. \"My insides were torn out. I was a shell of the person I'd been before.\" 'Path to motherhood' Her perpetrator - a 15-year-old stranger to whom she had been giving directions - was caught. Winnie then lived in a constant state of anxiety as she waited for the trial. She told the BBC: \"I wasn't feeling emotions.

She said: \"I went from being a well-adjusted 29-year-old to feeling like I couldn't function anymore.\" This experience affected her dating life. \"All my other friends were continuing on with their careers, personal lives, getting married and having kids. \"And I just wasn't there - I was on a completely different trajectory.\" Last year, she found herself single, aged 37. She said: \"I was at that age where people warn you about your fertility dropping off and I wasn't anywhere further on the path to being a mother.\" It was this realisation that led her to the decision to freeze her eggs. She had two rounds of egg freezing. And though doctors managed to harvest some viable eggs, there were not enough for her to consider them a viable insurance plan. She said: \"A lot of women describe freezing eggs as an empowering thing. In some ways it's not. I spent thousands of pounds.\" She says she cannot afford a third round. Winnie added: \"It's not necessarily given me hope but it's given me a sense of an option to see if those eggs can become a child.\" \"I'll always know I have at least done the best I could in this situation.\" Winnie has written a novel, Dark Chapter, inspired by her experience of being raped and the journey to recovery. She is also working on a doctorate at the London School of Economics, exploring how social media is allowing rape survivors to tell their stories. \"I learn every day from other women how difficult it is for them to put their lives back together. \"But I'm hoping by sharing these stories, we can understand how we can start to heal from this kind of trauma.\"",

'I'd drive 100 miles' Maria Aziz, from west London, has been trying to book a test since Sunday, when her nine-year-old daughter, Mishal, complained of a sore throat. By 04:00 Monday, her daughter had developed a fever. \"I had been trying all of Sunday to try and get a test. I must have tried between seven and 10 times,\" she told the BBC. \"And then yesterday I probably tried about four times at various intervals across the day, starting early in the morning and ending late at night.\" After again trying and failing to book a test today, she said she's frustrated. Her eldest daughter, Eimann, 14, has also had to be withdrawn from school while she tries to book a test for her younger daughter. \"Even if I have to drive 100 miles to get a test, I'd rather get her tested than not have a test,\" she said. \"If she has it, then that's fine. We will know we need to continue self-isolating. But if she doesn't then it's unfair on my older daughter. She's missed enough school already. \"I'm trying through the government website and then yesterday there was also a number on the website to call - 119 - so I tried that as well. Each time there were no tests available. No home kits. No walk-in slots. No drive-through slots. Nothing. \"It's very frustrating. They've just about managed a week of school before they've had to be off again. It would be good to know one way or the other.\" 'We'll have to close our cafe' Scott Vining's daughter fell ill with a temperature on Saturday. By Sunday, the rest of the family, who live near Dunstable, in Bedfordshire, had also developed symptoms. \"We've tried hundreds of times,\" he told the BBC about trying to book a test. \"We started to try and book tests for my daughter on Sunday, to no avail, and then we started at 08:00 on Monday morning for us all.\" At one point Scott was offered a test in Warwickshire, 65 miles away from his home, through the government website. But by the time he'd entered the details of his family, the spaces had disappeared. \"This is the problem I've found,\" he said. \"When you're doing it for a family of four, either no tests were available at all or after a while it kept taking you right back to the start to put all your details in again. \"In the end, I just put my wife's details in because she's the most important one to get back to work.\" Scott managed to secure a test for his wife today in Luton. He has since managed to book tests for himself and his children at a separate testing centre, in Bedford. \"Both the walk-in centre in Luton and the drive-in car park in Bedford were empty,\" he said. \"The walk-in centre had at least 12 available test booths with only three people there. The drive-in had space for maybe 30 cars. There was only one other car there.\" If it happens again, however, the small cafe the family runs may have to close. The business only survived lockdown with the help of a crowd-funding drive and a grant. \"We've only got my wife and another member of staff there. She wouldn't be able to run it on her own so we would have to shut,\" he said. \"Inevitably, kids are going to come home from school with sniffles and colds. We have to shut our business because of that,\" he said. \"So it's not really worth sending the kids in if this going to happen again. We have to really think about it.\" Who should get a test? Source: UK government testing guidance 'It's an absolute nightmare' For larger families, it's not just testing availability that can be an issue. \"It's an absolute nightmare trying to navigate the website as a family of eight,\" Christina Fox, from Stockton on Tees, said. The family was advised to book a test after phoning 111 when Christina's seven-year-old daughter developed a high fever and a cough. After trying for seven hours on Sunday, they had managed to secure three tests - for her seven-year-old, whose symptoms were worst, for another daughter who works for NHS 111 and couldn't return before testing negative, and for herself. \"We had the app open on my phone, my daughter's phone and on the computer,\" Ms Fox said. \"It really is like a pot of gold. You have to be there at the right time, the right second, and suddenly a test might appear.\" Despite those test results coming back negative, other family members have now developed symptoms, so they have had to continue to isolate. \"We managed to get two more tests this morning,\" Christina said. \"Because my 12-year-old goes to a different school to the younger kids, when I rang this morning they indicated that I should really be getting her tested. \"It's just ridiculous. If they want kids back at school and college and they want the economy to start running again they need to make the provisions for proper testing.\" A government spokesperson said it was \"processing more than a million tests a week and we recently announced new facilities and technology to process results even faster. \"If you do not have symptoms and are not eligible to get a test you can continue to protect yourself if you wash your hands, wear a face covering and follow social distancing rules.\"",

            "input": "By Robbie MeredithBBC News NI Education Correspondent The Council for the Curriculum, Examinations and Assessment (CCEA) said it would ensure that GCSE, A and AS level standards were maintained. But it said schools could use results from mock exams to appeal if they feel a pupil's grade is wrong. In England, however, pupils have been told their exam grades will be no lower than their mocks results. In Scotland results predicted by teachers alone will now be used to give pupils their grades. That is after a major U-turn by the Scottish government on Tuesday, which abandoned a moderation system for grades by the Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA). In Northern Ireland, as exams were cancelled, grades will be awarded following a three stage process: In a statement made on Tuesday night after the change in Scotland, CCEA said grades in Northern Ireland would still be awarded \"based on a combination of teacher professional judgement and statistical modelling, as directed by the Minister of Education\". \"A key element of the process is to ensure that qualifications standards are maintained this year,\" the body said. \"There has been no change in this direction or our approach.\" Analysis: 'Tested like never before' The Scottish government's decision to scrap its own exam board's role in awarding pupils grades this year was astonishing. That was followed by UK Education Secretary Gavin Williamson's last-minute decision to tell pupils that results from their mock exams could replace their A-Level grades. But in Northern Ireland the CCEA is holding firm. It says the model it has put in place after receiving estimated grades for pupils from teachers and schools is fair and robust. Results would have risen sharply this year had that 'standardisation' not taken place. Some grades provided by schools will be changed though, and those will be carefully scrutinised. In the absence of exams this year, it is CCEA which is being tested like never before. CCEA chief executive Justin Edwards has previously said top grades at A-level would have risen in 2020 by at least 10% if data from schools alone had been used and not standardised by CCEA. However, Mr Edwards said it would allow schools to use mock exam results and some completed units of GCSEs in appeals if it felt a pupil had been given the wrong grade. \"This year, due to the alternative arrangements, it is not possible to ask for examination papers to be reviewed as would be normal,\" he said. \"We recognise that there is robust evidence available on student prior performance and that this could be considered within the appeals process. \"The opportunity for schools and colleges to submit mock examination information and completed GCSE units provides a broader scope of evidence for appeal.\" CCEA's decision on appeals was welcomed by the Education Minister Peter Weir. \"I hope that these steps will provide reassurance to those students who are awaiting their examination results and I want to thank CCEA for all their work on this issue.,\" he said. CCEA has previously said it would scrap fees for appeals against results this year. However, appeals will only be accepted from schools and colleges and not directly from pupils. Though pupils will be able to ask their school to appeal on their behalf if they think CCEA has made an error in the process of awarding them their grade, they cannot appeal just because they are unhappy with the grade their teacher or school predicted for them.",

One of two police officers who carried out the restraint, Acting Sgt Loren Short, used \"sound judgment\" to try to help Mr Briggs, the jury heard. But the officer was also accused of having \"no consideration\" for Mr Briggs' wellbeing. He had previously told the court restraining Mr Briggs in Marsh Road on 4 November 2013, was necessary. The lorry driver was restrained face-down by officers, handcuffed and placed in leg restraints following concerns about his behaviour. Mr Briggs was detained in a cell at about 14:25 GMT under the Mental Health Act, but he became unconscious and was pronounced dead in hospital at about 16:15. The inquest heard his primary cause of death was \"amphetamine intoxication with prone restraint and prolonged struggling\". A secondary cause of death was given as coronary heart disease. Bedfordshire Police's representative at the inquest in Milton Keynes, John Beggs, said Acting Sgt Short had difficulty detaining Mr Briggs, but remained \"calm\" throughout. Mr Beggs said: \"Bringing to bear your experience, which at the time was about six years in policing, you bring to bear your common sense, you bring to bear your training. \"Your objective was to protect Leon, you wanted to do the best you could for Leon.\" Mr Beggs said Acting Sgt Short used \"sound judgment and good faith\" in making any decisions about the restraint. He described Mr Briggs as being \"very heavy\" and \"unpredictable\", leading to a struggle for the officers. The inquest also heard from Dexter Dias QC, who was representing Mr Briggs' family. Mr Dias told the jury that Mr Briggs had been picked up into the police van \"without thought\" and there was no support for his head or shoulders. He said: \"Leon was being restrained for 13 minutes against the concrete in a face-down position. \"He was then picked up face-down without consideration about the danger from positional asphyxia or anything else.\" Mr Dias told the inquest the actions of the police officers were \"unreasonable and unjustified\" as they had put pressure on Mr Briggs' shoulders, risking \"injury or death\". The jury was also told that Mr Briggs' head was \"pinned down\" to the floor, while Acting Sgt Short \"deliberately sought\" to push his knees on to his back. The inquest continues.

But it ranked countries and India was 174 out of 178 countries for air quality. China was at 176. The EPI is prepared by researchers at Yale and Columbia universities. However, an overall pollution rating, which includes factors such as health impact and water and sanitation, put India at 155 - China was ranked higher at 118. No accurate data \"The EPI does not rank cities, nor do the data in the EPI provide any information on city-level performance,\" said Dr Hsu of the Yale Center for Environmental Law and Policy who is also the project director of the index. She said a lack of accurate data from India was a problem. \"Beijing reports [pollution] data on an hourly basis over a publicly accessible platform. Delhi's reporting is not as consistent or transparent, making direct comparison impossible. Delhi may or may not have dirtier air than Beijing, but it is clearly behind in how it makes air quality information available to its citizens,\" Dr Hsu added. Dr Gufran Beig, chief scientist at India's System of Air Quality Weather Forecasting and Research, has also refuted the report saying that the average concentration of smaller dust particles (PM2.5) - that penetrate deep into the lung - was 210 microgram per cubic metre (m/cum) in Delhi this month. This, he told the BBC, is not even half of Beijing's PM2.5 level recorded this year. But the Centre for Science and Environment (CSE), a Delhi-based think tank, has pointed out that the average daily PM2.5 levels in Beijing during 2013 largely remained below 250 m/cum and their winter peaks did not cross the 400 m/cum mark till December. In comparison, Delhi recorded an average PM2.5 level of 240 m/cum since November 2013 but the peaks have hit as high as 575 m/cum this winter, the CSE said. The permissible limit of PM2.5 is 60 m/cum. Dr Sarath Guttikunda, director of Delhi-based Urban Emissions Info, refused to be drawn into this number game. \"Our pollution levels do not need to get worse than Beijing's for us to wake up and take action. Delhi's air is bad, very bad, and it's getting worse by the year,\" he warns. Winter smogs are common in Delhi, but this year's haze has been sometimes severe, disrupting air and railway traffic. Rising pollution has been blamed mainly on a huge increase in the number of vehicles in the city, particularly diesel-driven cars. Delhi's government introduced greener fuels for public transport in 2000 to control air pollution but the levels have continued to rise.",

A recent petition set up by horse owner Judith Corrin, calling for tighter restrictions on private displays, attracted more than 800 signatures. The committee will report back to Tynwald in July. Backing the motion, Kate Costain MHK said the island was \"a country of animal lovers\" and she was aware of instances where pets had been \"terrified\" by fireworks. \"I don't think it's being truculent or anything else to try and get a committee just to have a look at it to see what is viable, what will work for everybody,\" she added. 'Bonfire night' Under existing legislation, those planning private displays must notify the Isle of Man Fire and Rescue Service of the location, date and time of the event. These details must then be advertised in a local newspaper at least 10 days beforehand. Laws should be modernised to allow for social media to be formally used, Mr Cretney told Tynwald. Fireworks can be let off without notification at set periods surrounding Bonfire Night in November and New Year. The length of those periods was \"over generous\", Mr Cretney suggested.

            "input": "Peers voted by a majority of 92 to amend the Welfare Reform and Work Bill to make ministers report annually on income levels in the poorest families. The move was spearheaded by the Bishop of Durham, Rt Rev Paul Butler, who argued income-related statistics must be recorded so they could be assessed with other measurements of deprivation. Ministers say life chances are a better measure of economic outcomes. The defeat could be overturned when the bill returns to the Commons later this year. If it is not, ministers will be obliged to present a report to Parliament each year setting out the percentage of children in households whose net income is 60% to 70% below the median average. 'Damaging effect' The government's decision to change how child poverty is measured, to focus on the root causes of poverty rather than income disparities, has angered opposition parties and anti-poverty campaigners But ministers insist that income benchmarks put in place by the last Labour government painted a false picture and meant that inter-generational factors holding families back, such as unemployment and low educational attainment, were ignored. Bishop Butler said he conceded income levels should not be the only measure of levels of relative poverty but were still highly significant. \"It is also possible to understate the importance of income, or the lack of it, especially among those of us who have plenty,\" he said. \"There is also a wealth of academic evidence pointing to the damaging effect income poverty has on children's wellbeing, including their health, education and future employment prospects.\" While he was not seeking to reinstate an income-based definition of child poverty, the bishop said his proposal would ensure income was measured and reported on an equal basis to other social indicators. Ministers insist the move is not needed as income-related statistics would still be collated. Welfare minister Lord Freud said, on their own, income figures were at best a \"partial reflection\" of an individual's economic wellbeing, and did not take into account levels of debt and savings, employment histories and increased school spending in areas of the highest deprivation. During Monday's report stage debate on the Welfare Bill, ministers also announced that the government would be exempting recipients of carer's allowance from the overall household benefit cap, which is set to fall to a maximum of £20,000 outside London and £23,00 in the capital. Lord Freud said the government valued the contribution carers made to society and was taking further steps to support them.",

The European Council - the EU government leaders - were meeting again on Tuesday with hopes of a breakthrough. Meanwhile, newly-elected MEPs were also meeting in Strasbourg. The May European elections left the 28-nation bloc's parliament more fragmented, complicating decision-making. The role of Commission president, whose candidacy requires parliamentary approval, proposes new EU laws, enforces the bloc's rules and handles trade deals. So who might run it, based on what we know so far? Margrethe Vestager, Liberals For: A big name in Danish politics, Ms Vestager has spent the past five years as competition commissioner, spearheading EU anti-trust investigations that have ended in big fines for technology giants Google and Apple. Her battle to protect consumers and make large firms pay earned her the wrath of US President Donald Trump last year, who is reported to have told Mr Juncker following news of the hefty fines: \"Your tax lady, she really hates the US.\" Ms Vestager is certainly causing a buzz and the liberal group, now called Renew Europe, gained ground in the elections, partly thanks to the arrival of President Macron's party. Against: She may struggle to win support from the biggest group in parliament, the centre-right European People's Party. And she risks being dropped if the European Council decides that the \"Spitzenkandidaten\" race of lead candidates cannot work. She is one of three Spitzenkandidaten put forward by the European Parliament - along with Manfred Weber of the centre right and Frans Timmermans of the centre left. German Chancellor Angela Merkel is quoted as saying that if EPP choice Manfred Weber is ditched, then Mr Timmermans and Ms Vestager are ruled out too. What she says: \"I have worked with breaking monopolies. This is also what voters have been doing. The monopoly of power is broken,\" she declared after the elections that broke the majority of the two big centre-right and centre-left blocs in the European Parliament. Frans Timmermans, Party of European Socialists For: Frans Timmermans has the wind in his sails, having led the Dutch centre-left Labour party to a dramatic, unexpected victory in the European elections, winning 19% of the vote on the back of a pro-European campaign. The First Vice-President of the European Commission emerged as front-runner during the marathon talks in Brussels. He helped steer through EU legislation banning plastic straws and negotiated the EU's 2016 deal with Turkey to reduce the flow of migrants. He was lampooned by political opponents as Eurocrat \"Hans Brusselmans\"; but the negative message failed and the multi-lingual Labour leader took advantage of his election campaign to push for the Commission presidency. Against: He is disliked in Poland, Hungary and Romania for challenging their governments over rule of law, and Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babis said his candidacy was \"unacceptable for us, it would be a total catastrophe\". Italy has also opposed him. What he says: Warning of the risks of nationalism he said last month: \"People who used to vote for my party and many parties here are now voting for nationalist parties, sometimes even extremist parties. That's our fault,\" he said. He also spoke of Brexit as leaving the UK looking like \"Game of Thrones on steroids\". His latest policy proposals for the bloc include a minimum EU-wide rate of corporation tax of 18%, and the implementation of a minimum wage in every member state. Manfred Weber, European People's Party For: A high-flyer in the EPP, the 46-year-old Bavarian's candidacy has been endorsed by Chancellor Merkel and he has led the EPP since 2014. Against: The EPP lost ground in the elections and Mr Weber, initially a favourite, seems all but out of the race as the liberals and socialists say they will not back him. Critics question his qualifications for the top EU job; he has never held a government post. At the summit, French President Emmanuel Macron said all three lead candidate names were \"tested\" and \"there was no majority\". Greece's socialist Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras declared that Mr Weber's candidacy had divided Europe and was \"off the table\". What he says: He has advocated strengthening security across the bloc and protecting the \"European way of life\". In a Twitter post in November, which featured a promotional video, he wrote: \"Here and everywhere else people are asking us to bring Europe back home.\" He has promised to appoint a commissioner to oversee a new relationship with Africa to help control migration to Europe, and has said that future trade deals with other countries should include clauses banning child labour. Ska Keller of the Greens For: After the Green surge in the May elections, her group is now the fourth biggest in the European Parliament and environmental issues are at the heart of the EU's agenda for the next five years. In her home country, Germany, the Greens now top the opinion polls. Ska Keller stood as Green \"Spitzenkandidat\" in 2014, and is as focused on the rights of migrants as on the environment. She became an MEP in 2009 at the age of 27 and has said that, while she aims to represent everybody, young people in particular need a louder voice in Europe. She has a masters in Islamic Studies, Turkology and Jewish Studies. Against: Up against the other candidates, Ms Keller is likely to struggle to find the support of enough member states. Poland, the Czech Republic and Hungary - heavily reliant on coal - are resisting the green ambitions of many EU partners. What she says: Ska Keller wants to tackle climate change but not through banning air travel. \"If trains become cheaper and better, we'll make short-haul flights redundant.\" Michel Barnier, EU chief Brexit negotiator For: He may not be a candidate, but few EU figures have had a profile as dominant as this 68-year-old former French foreign minister, who succeeded in keeping 27 countries on the same page during the bloc's Brexit negotiations with the UK. He is admired by President Macron, who said he was \"one of the European leaders that have eminent qualities and can be on the list [of candidates for EU top jobs]\". Against: Once said by former French President Nicolas Sarkozy to possess the \"charisma of an oyster\", Mr Barnier is known for choosing his words carefully and has a precise manner when addressing leaders - often with a formidable stare. He is also known for backing the legacy of post-war President Charles de Gaulle, who advocated a centralised economy, powerful presidency and independent foreign policy. What he says: \"Now more than ever, we Europeans need collective action in defence of our values and a rules-based international order. This could be Europe's moment, based on a more robust and decisive European Union.\" (January 2019 opinion piece) Mark Rutte, Liberals For: The Dutch prime minister is a head of government - a definite advantage in the contest for either the role of Commission chief or European Council president. He is also a liberal, and his group boosted their numbers in the European elections. The EU is also anxious about the economic impact of Brexit, and the Netherlands is one of the UK's closest partners, so Mr Rutte could score political points there, as a safe bet for avoiding a collision with the UK. He has warned that Brexit will \"diminish\" the UK's status internationally. Against: He is backing Margrethe Vestager who, as a liberal woman from one of the smaller EU nations, is seen as a strong candidate. He has expressed no interest in getting the Commission president job. There is already a prominent Dutch \"Spitzenkandidat\" and EU veteran in the race - Frans Timmermans. What he says: \"I'm staying in the Netherlands. I already have a top post: prime minister of the Kingdom of the Netherlands and being a member of the European Council. And I love it.\" Dalia Grybauskaite, Lithuanian President For: The 63-year-old, a political independent, has served two consecutive terms as Lithuania's president. She served as EU budget commissioner in 2004-2009, so she has plenty of experience of EU business. Her presidential term ends in July - good timing for a move to Brussels. In terms of EU efforts to achieve gender and geographical balance, she has the advantage of being a woman from a small, eastern European state. She could be a compromise candidate, as she is not tied to any particular party. Against: She is nicknamed \"Steel Magnolia\" for her tough stance on corruption and relations with Russia. The EU is keeping sanctions against Russia in place, condemning its annexation of Ukraine's Crimea region. But many EU countries depend on Russian gas, and Ms Grybauskaite's stance is unlikely to ease tensions with the EU's huge neighbour. What she says: \"My climb to political success was no elevator ride, and it has not always been pretty, but I persevered as one of a handful of women in the male-dominated world of politics.\"",

Mr Whelan's brother David said consular staff told him his brother was fine and looked healthy. Earlier, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said the US wanted to know more about the charges facing Mr Whelan. \"If the detention is not appropriate, we will demand his immediate return.\" Russia says Mr Whelan was \"caught spying\" in Moscow but his family says he was in Russia to attend a wedding and is innocent. Russia and America have traded spying allegations at regular intervals since the Cold War, while Russia's actions in Ukraine since 2014, and allegations of Russian meddling in the 2016 US presidential election, have seen relations plummet. Who is Paul Whelan? Mr Whelan is a 48-year-old former Marine who was born in Canada but moved to the US as a child. He is currently director of global security for Michigan-based automotive components supplier BorgWarner. His twin brother David Whelan said he had been visiting Russia for business and pleasure since 2007. According to his service record, released on Wednesday by the US Marine Corps, Paul Whelan joined the Marine Reserves in 1994 and rose to the rank of staff sergeant in 2004. He served in Iraq for several months in 2004 and 2006. He was convicted in a 2008 court martial on charges related to larceny and received a bad-conduct discharge. Details of the charges were not given. The Whelan family have not commented on the court martial revelations, but had earlier said \"his innocence is undoubted\" on the Russian allegations. \"I can't imagine how someone with a law enforcement background who is also a former US Marine, and who is now working in corporate security and is also aware of the risks of travel, would have broken any law let alone the law related to espionage,\" David Whelan said. What were Paul Whelan's movements in Russia? Paul Whelan arrived in Russia on 22 December to attend the wedding of a fellow former Marine to a Russian citizen, and had planned to visit Russia's second city, St Petersburg, in addition to Moscow before flying home on 6 January, his brother said. He was arrested in Moscow on 28 December, having taken a group of wedding guests on a tour of the Kremlin museums in the morning. He was last heard from in the early evening and failed to show up for the wedding, David Whelan said. Paul Whelan has been charged with espionage and, if found guilty, he could face up to 20 years in jail. Russia's FSB state security agency has given few details, saying only that he was detained \"during an act of espionage\", a wording which implies that he was caught red-handed, the BBC's Sarah Rainsford reports. How extensive is spying between Russia and the US? The two countries have been spying on each other for decades but very few US citizens have been arrested for espionage on Russian territory: The two countries have expelled each other's diplomats at intervals, notably last year over the nerve agent attack in the UK, which was blamed on Russia. Last month, a Russian gun rights activist held in the US, Maria Butina, pleaded guilty to conspiracy. US prosecutors say she acted as a Russian state agent, infiltrating conservative political groups. In 2010, 10 Russian agents were arrested in the US for deep-cover espionage and later swapped for four Russians convicted of spying for the West.",

The Pentagon said the loss of about 2,000 US military and civilian personnel is due to relocation away from Mildenhall, but will be offset by the addition of about 1,200 people stationed permanently at Lakenheath. Support promised Matthew Hancock, West Suffolk MP and Minister of State for Business, Enterprise and Energy, said he would support the community affected. Mildenhall had a long and proud history of strong relations with the United States Air Force and the move \"will come as a shock to many\", he said. \"I have met with the defence secretary, and others in government to ensure we can work, together with the American administration, to support the community. \"We will create a Mildenhall, Alconbury and Molesworth (MAM) Working Group, which I will chair, inviting local LEPs [local enterprise partnerships], councils, the Ministry of Defence and US representatives to ensure no stone is left unturned in supporting Mildenhall and the surrounding area.\" A UK Ministry of Defence spokesman said: \"The US Department of Defence (DoD) has been reviewing its requirement for bases across Europe as part of (its) European infrastructure consolidation review.\" RAF Mildenhall is used as a transport hub by the USAF and is home to air refuelling tankers and special operations forces. It has about 3,200 military personnel, with 400-500 UK civilian staff employed there. Both bases are in the Forest Heath District Council area. James Waters, leader of the council, said: \"The USAF contributes significantly to the local economy so the expansion of RAF Lakenheath, and with it the US government's commitment to the site as part of its long term plans, is very welcome. \"But this happiness is obviously tempered by our sadness that Mildenhall is to close. \"Both announcements mean huge changes to the landscape of Forest Heath , but I am optimistic that with every change there are opportunities for reinvention, growth and investment.\" USAF bases By Jonathan Marcus, BBC Defence and Diplomatic Correspondent For some years now the US military has been reviewing its bases in Europe, eager to reduce its footprint to rationalise and cut costs. In part it is due to budget constraints but it is also driven by strategic changes as the Pentagon turns its gaze increasingly towards the Asia-Pacific. RAF Mildenhall has been an important base for the Americans since the early 1950s when it was home to strategic bombers. Currently it houses US Air Force Special Forces and a fleet of air-to-air tankers. The latter, though less glamorous than fast jets, are some of the most important elements of the USAF, described by one analyst as the \"kryptonite\" of modern air power. They enable combat and support aircraft to reach their targets and to remain over combat zones for the time needed to carry out their missions. It is likely that the KC-135 tankers from Mildenhall will move to a US base in Germany. British defence sources are eager to stress that the base closures here - two US-run communications stations at RAF Alconbury and RAF Molesworth in Cambridgeshire are also to shut down - do not represent any dilution of Washington's commitment to European security. Indeed RAF Lakenheath is due to host two squadrons of new F-35 aircraft when they enter service. Over recent months the Americans have deployed small but significant reinforcements to Europe to reassure NATO allies like Poland and the Baltic republics in the wake of Russia's actions against Ukraine. The US had hundreds of tanks in Europe during Cold War but there was a brief moment after 2013 when all US tanks had been withdrawn from Europe. Today about a battalion's worth are back in Europe exercising with allies. But the Pentagon has plans to store an armoured brigade's worth of equipment - some 150 tanks along with other armoured vehicles - in Europe by 2015. RAF Alconbury and RAF Molesworth are used as USAF communications bases, rather than for flying, and their operations were expected to move to RAF Croughton in Northamptonshire. The USAF has about 750 military personnel at the two Cambridgeshire bases, with a further 1,500 civilian employees and dependents. Jason Ablewhite, leader of Huntingdonshire District Council, said the news was \"hugely disappointing\" as both bases contributed about £40m a year to the local economy. He said it would mean the loss of 760 personnel and 1,500 civilian jobs, adding: \"The impact on the local economy could be considerable. \"However, the Enterprise Zone is on the same site as RAF Alconbury, and will provide thousands of jobs over the coming years.\"",

            "input": "In a lawsuit filed in a US court, Saad al-Jabri has claimed that the assassination attempt took place in Canada, where he fled three years ago. He says Mohammed bin Salman wanted him dead because he knew too much. The crown prince - regarded as Saudi Arabia's de-facto ruler - said Mr Jabri was trying to conceal his own crimes. He pointed out that he is immune from prosecution as a head of state. Serving foreign leaders are also normally immune from civil suits in the US. However Mr Jabri is suing the crown prince under of the Alien Tort statute and the 1991 Torture Victim Protection Act, which allow foreign nationals to file complaints in the US over alleged human rights abuses. Lawyers for the 35-year-old prince said Mr Jabri's complaint was \"steeped in drama, including an introduction that likens the crown prince to one of Shakespeare's greatest villains\". \"But, regardless of its merits as literature, the complaint fails as a legal pleading,\" they said. Mr Jabri, 61, was for years the key go-between for Britain's MI6 and other Western spy agencies in Saudi Arabia. What is Mohammed bin Salman accused of? The 106-page complaint, which was filed in Washington DC in August, accuses the crown prince of attempting to murder Mr Jabri because he possessed \"damning information\". The document says this includes alleged corruption and overseeing a team of personal mercenaries labelled the Tiger Squad. Members of the Tiger Squad were involved in the murder of dissident journalist Jamal Khashoggi, who was killed inside the Saudi consulate in Istanbul in 2018, it says. Mr Jabri alleges that Mohammed bin Salman made repeated efforts to return him to Saudi Arabia after he fled to Canada in 2017. Then, less than two weeks after the murder of Khashoggi, Mr Jabri says the Tiger Squad travelled to Canada with the intention of killing him. The court filing says the group - which included a man from the same department as the man accused of dismembering Khashoggi - were carrying two bags of forensic tools. However, Canadian border agents \"quickly became suspicious\" of the group and refused them entry after interviewing them, it says. How has the crown prince responded? In new court filings, Mohammed bin Salman says Mr Jabri is attempting to cover up his own crimes. The filing accuses Mr Jabri and his associates of misspending or outright stealing about $11bn (£8bn) of government funds. Mr Jabri denies this. \"The flaws in this complaint are so apparent and run so deep that it can only be regarded as an attempt to divert attention from plaintiff's massive theft,\" the filing states. \"The crown prince is the king's son and designated successor. Together with the king, he sits at the apex of Saudi Arabia's government. He is entitled to status-based immunity from any suit in a US court.\" Who is Saad al-Jabri? For years he was the right-hand man to Prince Mohammed bin Nayef, who was widely credited with defeating the al-Qaeda insurgency in the 2000s. He was also the linchpin in all of Saudi Arabia's relations with the \"Five Eyes\" (US, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand) intelligence agencies. Mr Jabri rose to the rank of cabinet minister and held a major-general's rank in the interior ministry. But in 2015 everything changed. King Abdullah died and his half-brother Salman ascended to the throne, appointing his untested son Mohammed bin Salman, widely known as MBS, as defence minister. In 2017, Mohammed bin Salman carried out a bloodless palace coup with his father's blessing. He deposed the next in line to the throne, Prince Mohammed bin Nayef, becoming crown prince himself. Those who worked for him have been removed from their posts. Mr Jabri then fled to Canada.",

It was first thought the 44-year-old's screams were a Pink Floyd song being played on the radio, Ampthill Coroners' Court was told. Mr Dolby had previously operated the machine for three years. The inquest jury heard how he had been part of a team that carried out a risk assessment on the machine, which had seven emergency stop buttons. A supervisor described how he mistook Mr Dolby's screams for music being played on the radio at the factory on Woodside Industrial Estate. When asked how Mr Dolby of Houghton Regis, had got into the machine on 10 April, Stephen Giblin, the company's environmental health and safety director, said there was \"no reason for anyone to enter the machine\". \"There have been no known incidents with it,\" he said. \"The only reason he entered the machine was if he dropped something. \"A reasonable possibility is that he reached in for something and became trapped. \"He was left arm dominant, maybe he reached in.\" 'Simple mechanical guard' Mr Giblin said that no foreign objects were found in the machine afterwards. He said the firm had inherited the machine, which lacked a safety guard, when it bought the factory in 2004, adding that no instructions about a guard had been left. Speaking before the court, David Rudland, from the Health and Safety Executive, said: \"It was an accident waiting to happen.\" Any protection to the machine could have \"taken the form of a simple mechanical guard or an optical beam that would stop the machine if the beam is broken\", he said.

Fine Gael finished with 35 seats, down 15 from the 2016 general election. The tight electoral numbers means that negotiations to establish a government could be prolonged. A party has to win 80 seats in order to gain a majority in the 160-seat Dáil Éireann (Irish parliament). Although Fianna Fáil finished with one more seat than Sinn Féin the two parties had the same number of TDs elected, because one of Fianna Fáil's candidates was elected automatically as he was the ceann comhairle (speaker) of the Dáil. Before the election, both Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil had ruled out forging a coalition with left-wing republican party Sinn Féin, citing its tax policies and IRA past as deterrents. But on Tuesday, Sinn Féin leader Mary Lou McDonald said she welcomed that \"Fianna Fáil have shifted their position about talking to Sinn Féin and understand that this election has changed everything\". Sinn Féin said it would seek meetings \"with all parties, beginning tomorrow [Wednesday] with those parties who received a mandate for change\". The party has appointed its Donegal TD Pearse Doherty to lead its negotiating team as attempts to form a new government get under way. The Irish Independent has reported Mr Doherty will be assisted by Eoin Ó Broin, Louise O'Reilly and Matt Carthy in the negotiations with other parties. As the results were coming in on Sunday, Fianna Fáil leader Micheál Martin did not rule out working with Sinn Féin, but said \"significant incompatibilities\" still existed. For now, government ministers, including taoiseach (Irish PM) and Fine Gael leader Leo Varadkar, remain in post. The Irish constitution stipulates they \"continue to hold office until their successors shall have been appointed\". 'I may well be the next taoiseach' Ms McDonald, who topped the poll in her four-seat Dublin Central constituency, said on Monday that Sinn Féin wanted to be in government and was working to establish if the numbers were there to deliver it without Fianna Fáil or Fine Gael. That evening, she said she had not heard from the leaders of those two parties and has instead been speaking to Labour, the Green Party and other smaller parties that make up the Dáil (Irish parliament). She said that people wanted \"different politics, new politics and better government\" and \"that Sinn Féin will be the core of that\". \"I may well be the next taoiseach,\" she added. Speaking to BBC's Newsnight programme, Ms McDonald said she would be asking the EU to support Irish reunification if she was part of the next government. \"I think even aside from the election, you have Brexit, you have changing demographics, you have the fact that the unionist majority has been lost in the north over the last number of elections,\" she said. \"So that is the direction of travel, and you know anybody who is in touch with the dynamic of politics on this island knows that.\" Speaking to BBC Radio Ulster's Good Morning Ulster programme on Tuesday, the DUP MP Sir Jeffrey Donaldson said the Irish election was fought on \"bread and butter issues\" and the result does not indicate a demand for a border poll. \"When you consider that Sinn Fein got less than 25 percent of the vote in the Republic and less than 25 percent of the vote in Northern Ireland, that is hardly a mandate for a border poll,\" he said. \"Most of the other parties, both in Northern Ireland and in the Republic have said now is not the time for a border poll.\" Jonathan Powell, a former Downing Street chief of staff, said he believes a united Ireland is \"now possible\". \"If you had asked me in '97 I'd have said there was no chance. I'd now say in the next decade it does seem to me possible because of the way that Brexit is going to be engineered and the way it is going to be implemented,\" he told The Nolan Show. \"Through Brexit, Boris Johnson has done more for a united Ireland than the IRA ever did in its whole history.\" If you are reading this page on the BBC News app, you will need to visit the mobile version of the BBC website to submit your question on this topic. Why the Sinn Féin surge? Left-leaning Sinn Féin managed to successfully tap into the public anger felt in the Republic of Ireland over issues that have dogged centre-right Fine Gael for a number of years - a shortage of housing, rocketing rents and homelessness, analysts suggest. That is despite the fact the country is forecast to have one of the fastest growing economies in the EU in 2020. Brexit - a considerable focus on Leo Varadkar and his deputy Simon Coveney while in power - barely registered as an issue in the campaign. Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) leader Arlene Foster, whose party is in a power-sharing government with Sinn Féin in Northern Ireland, said younger voters had backed Sinn Féin as a \"protest vote\". \"From a Northern Ireland perspective we will have to work with whoever the government is in the Republic of Ireland,\" Mrs Foster told BBC News NI. She also said Sinn Féin may have their focus on Northern Ireland questioned, in the way there had been a \"wailing and gnashing of teeth\" over her party's confidence-and-supply agreement with the previous Conservative government in the UK. Sinn Féin's best-ever result in the Republic of Ireland is the success story of this election. However, with how the overall vote has broken down we know that Sinn Féin will not necessarily end up in government despite its swathe of victories. The magic number for winning a majority government in the Republic of Ireland is 80 seats. None of the three big parties - Fine Gael, Fianna Fáil and now Sinn Féin - came anywhere close to that figure. Attempts to form a new coalition-of-sorts are already getting under way, although this will be complex. Previous administrations in the Republic of Ireland have been forged this way too, but it's taken a while to get there. In 2016, it took 70 days for a government to be formed after the parties agreed a confidence-and-supply agreement, which saw a Fine Gael-only cabinet, propped up by Fianna Fáil votes on key policy areas.

The MP says this is \"incorrect\" and the printed emails were \"immediately passed to senior officers\". He added: \"The officers were also aware of these emails.\" Mr Mackintosh said the emails \"had been published on an internet blog at the same time resulting in press queries to the borough council\". Months earlier, Mr Mackintosh's election campaign had received what later turned out to be a disguised donation of £30,000. It came from developer Howard Grossman, accused in court papers of misappropriating millions of pounds of the council loan. The claim was settled out of court and the parties signed a non-disclosure agreement. Millions of pounds out of £10.25m given to Northampton Town Football Club to redevelop its stadium is missing and the subject of a police investigation for \"alleged financial irregularities\". On 18 February 2015, architect Stuart Loxton, using an alias, emailed his concerns to Mr Mackintosh and former council leader David Palethorpe. A week later, on 25 February, he also sent Mr Mackintosh, now the Conservative MP for Northampton South, invoices detailing how some of the money may have funded unconnected schemes. A council spokesman said: \"We cannot at this stage find any emails or forwarded emails from Mr Mackintosh to council officers regarding the whistleblower and can find no record of any officers being alerted by Mr Mackintosh. \"In April 2015, the borough council's chief executive was made aware of the whistleblower by another person\". That \"other person\" was the then Labour councillor David Palethorpe. 'Serious questions' Mr Palethorpe says he was surprised it fell to him to initiate a meeting between Mr Loxton and the council: \"There are really serious questions which need to be answered.\" The council says it was only after David Palethorpe had emailed them the whistleblower's details on 1 April that officers discussed the issue with Mr Mackintosh. Mr Loxton had been commissioned by Mr Grossman and his associates to draw up a string of planning applications in Hertfordshire in 2014. He was instructed to entitle the invoices 'Northampton Football Club' and send them to Mr Grossman's company, 1st Land Ltd. The firm was set up for the purposes of redeveloping Sixfields stadium and received more than £7m of the council loan money. Work was halted on the stadium when contractors were not paid by 1st Land. Mr Mackintosh was elected MP for Northampton South in May last year, having received £30,000 in three donations to his campaign fund in April and May 2014. A BBC investigation has established this money did not originate from the individuals declared to the Electoral Commission but from Mr Grossman's company 1st Land Ltd. One of them, Leonard Western, subsequently said he was unaware of the payment made in his name and told the BBC he was a Labour supporter. The Electoral Commission was handed the BBC's evidence back in April but has yet to respond. Mr Grossman has denied any loan money was misappropriated. He has described the allegations in court papers as \"outrageous and deeply offensive\". 'Whistleblower allegations' In a statement, the Northampton Borough Council said: \"The whistleblower was asked to provide evidence of his claims. \"We also asked him to report the allegations of criminal activity to Northamptonshire Police. \"He did provide us with copies of invoices subsequently, but they did not show any direct misuse of council loan monies. All of this information was kept on file. \"When further concerns then began to emerge, we made the police aware of the whistleblower's allegations and the information began to fit in to our wider picture of what has happened, which is now being investigated both by auditors and by Northamptonshire Police\". Mr Mackintosh told the BBC he welcomed the police investigation currently taking place. \"All legal responsibility for the negotiation and background security checks relating to the loan rested with senior officers of the council. No elected members were directly involved in this,\" he said. \"During the General Election, the allegations were, and remain, unproven and were still being investigated, but I did convey my concerns about Sixfields whenever I was asked.\" 'I have repeatedly told the BBC, all donations were made to, and processed by, Northampton South Conservative Association. No donations were made to me personally.\"",

            "input": "By Jayne McCormackBBC News NI Political Reporter The executive has been meeting to discuss how and when Covid-19 measures should be eased. On Friday, the Republic of Ireland's government announced a timetable for lifting restrictions, starting 18 May. The NI executive must review its own coronavirus laws by this Saturday. The regulations initially took effect on 28 March, and have already been extended once by the executive. Ministers have previously warned that while they want to publish a plan setting out how to ease the lockdown, any relaxing of the current restrictions will be slow and gradual. 'Balancing act' The Irish government has set out a five-stage approach, running from 18 May to 10 August, to help the Republic of Ireland reopen slowly. Speaking at the NI Executive's daily press conference on Monday, Deputy First Minister Michelle O'Neill said using projected dates, as the Republic of Ireland has done, could pose challenges. \"I believe there are difficulties presented by putting down dates, and people then work to that,\" she said. \"Every action will have an impact in terms of virus spread, it is a balancing act.\" On Monday, a further six deaths related to Covid-19 were reported by the Department of Health. Five of the deaths happened in the last 24 hours, while one occurred earlier but has only now been recorded. It takes the total, mostly comprising of hospital deaths, to 387. These figures are one of two sets published in Northern Ireland - the other are weekly statistics from statistics agency Nisra, which cover all deaths where coronavirus has been recorded on the death certificate. By 24 April, Nisra had recorded 393 Covid-19 related deaths here. The total number of confirmed coronavirus cases in NI now stands at 3,836. The number of people who have died with confirmed coronavirus across all settings in the UK has risen by 288 to 28,734. 'Work with us' Ministers are trying to work out which areas would pose least risk and offer the most benefit if the rules are relaxed, said Arlene Foster. The first minister added: \"While many of you are anxious for us to produce a plan immediately, we must remain focused on getting it right. \"The challenge for this executive is how do we loosen restrictions in a way that is science-led, proportionate and not going to expose society to another infection. \"We are planning for change but until then, we need you to work with us.\" The executive will meet throughout the course of this week to discuss the plan before it will be made public. The UK government, meanwhile, is due to set out its proposals on Sunday, following a meeting of the emergency Cobra committee involving ministers from the devolved administrations. \"We will be part of the Cobra call later this week, and we'll have a clearer view as to what the prime minister will be saying, as regards moving ahead,\" said Mrs Foster. \"I think it's important we look at the totality of what is going on so we can plan in the fullest way.\" The first minister had previously suggested Northern Ireland's lockdown restrictions could be lifted at a different pace to the rest of the UK. In other developments on Monday: Earlier, Justice Minister Naomi Long said while there would be co-ordination with the Republic of Ireland, there would need to be differences in Stormont's plan. No 'a la carte easing' \"I think we are likely to be emerging on a similar trajectory but much of the funding that supports people through this will come from London,\" she told BBC Radio Foyle's Breakfast show. \"We have to be cognisant of that because we can't ask businesses here to stay closed if the funding to support them is drying up from London with no replacement.\" Stormont ministers recognise the lifting of any restrictions will not be without risk. Mrs Long said she would not support moves that could lead to an \"a la carte\" easing of measures, which could prompt a bigger spread of the virus in Northern Ireland. Last week, DUP Agriculture and Environment Minister Edwin Poots called for churches and garden centres to reopen on a controlled basis.",

The Privy Council will therefore not decide on the matter until the autumn at the earliest, the BBC understands. Press abuse victims have called for swifter progress. They have written to Culture Secretary Maria Miller, demanding that a royal charter promoted by the Conservatives, Lib Dems and Labour is considered next week at a meeting of the Privy Council, the body which administers royal charters. 'Fast footwork' Mr Cameron said: \"The legal advice, which we have shared with the leader of the opposition and his deputy, is that we have to take these things in order: we have to take the press's royal charter first and then we have to bring forward the royal charter on which we have all agreed.\" The Privy Council is due to meet on 10 July, but will not convene again before the autumn. Liberal Democrat peer Lord Wallace of Saltaire, a government spokesman, told Parliament on Monday it was \"not appropriate for the Privy Council to consider more than one royal charter at a time on the same issue\". The Conservatives' Lord Forsyth asked him to explain how ministers \"ended up second in the queue to the privy council on a matter of this importance\". \"I suspect that it was the result of some very fast footwork by the press board,\" Lord Wallace replied. The rival charter was submitted by the Newspaper Society, the Newspaper Publishers Association, the Professional Publishers Association and the Scottish Newspaper Society. Hacking scandal Ahead of a meeting with Ms Miller, campaign group Hacked Off has written to urge her to defy \"a tiny if powerful vested interest\". Ministers insist they are not about to back down and approve press proposals but are, instead, following due process to avoid a battle in the courts - even if that makes further delays inevitable. Government sources told the BBC they remain absolutely committed to implementing the package put forward by Lord Justice Leveson. \"I think the press's royal charter has some serious shortcomings so no, I haven't changed my view,\" the prime minister said in the Commons. In November, the landmark Leveson report called for an independent regulatory body to be established to oversee the press, backed by legislation. That came after the judge headed an 18-month public inquiry set up to investigate press ethics and standards in the wake of the phone-hacking scandal at the now-defunct News of the World newspaper. Mr Cameron, Mr Miliband and Mr Clegg agreed to set up a new watchdog by royal charter with powers to impose million-pound fines on UK publishers and demand upfront apologies from them. But the newspaper industry rejected the idea of \"state-sponsored regulation\". There are a series of key differences between the industry's plan for press regulation and that agreed by politicians and campaigners. The newspapers' proposals would: Newspaper owners backed down on initial demands to have a veto over the board members of any new press regulator, accepting appointments should instead be made by \"consensus\". Some owners had wanted the power to block those they saw as hostile to the press.",

The university has been criticised for a lack of social and racial diversity among its students and academics. Journalist Reeta Chakrabarti and director Ken Loach were among those chosen for the pictures. Data obtained recently by MP David Lammy showed admissions are dominated by the top two social classes, and across the university 40% of students come from independent schools. Following that, advocate and pro-vice-chancellor for equality and diversity, Dr Rebecca Surender, said it was hugely important for students to \"feel inspired by people they can relate to.\" Paintings of former students are a common feature on the walls around the university, in particular college dining halls. Once the exhibition finishes the new portraits will be hung in the examination schools, one of the university's most prominent public spaces. Speaking when the project was launched earlier this year, Ms Chakrabarti said she hoped it would show \"Oxford is open to everyone\". She said there were not many people from her background when she studied at Exeter College, but she still loved her time at the university. The BBC journalist hoped it would help encourage an \"ever more diverse range of people\" to study at Oxford. Prof Patricia Daley - who sat for a portrait by Binny Mathews - said being painted was a \"wonderful experience\" and made her think about the way \"our physical features are perceived by others\". Disability rights campaigner, Dr Marie Tidball, was painted by Clementine St John Webster. She said it was \"wonderful\" for the importance of teaching and research about disability in academia to be recognised. The portraits are being shown at the Weston Library in Oxford until 7 January 2018.",

His warning came as the industry body reported record sales of £5.7bn in 2017, up 5% on the previous year. Exports rose by 8% to £3.4bn, to account for 60% of total income, consolidating the UK's position as the biggest exporter of books in the world. The Publishers Association represents book, journal, audio and electronic publishers in the UK, including everything from fiction and non-fiction to academic and educational publishing. Last year 36% of its exports were shipped to the European Union, making it the largest market for UK books. Publishers Association chief executive Stephen Lotinga, said: \"It's not just tariffs that could be a problem [post-Brexit]. It's the non-tariff barriers, customs checks and delays.\" \"That means having books sat in a customs warehouse in Calais rather than in a bookshop in Duesseldorf.\" Driving force The figures contained in the Publishers Association's latest yearbook also show that sales of physical and digital books rose by 4% last year to £3.7bn. Of that exports accounted for £1.6bn, a rise of 7% on the previous year. In some sectors exports are even more crucial. Total income from academic journals totalled £1.6bn last year, with £1.4bn of that coming from exports. James Daunt, managing director of the book chain Waterstones, exports books to his stores in the Irish Republic, Amsterdam and Brussels. He said: \"With the pound down and the Irish market strong, we have been going from strength to strength, but if the trucks all start to get backed up at the ports and can't reach the booksellers it could create real problems.\" He added there were other benefits that could be lost after Brexit: \"The EU has also been very supportive of us as booksellers. It's been very active in preventing anti-competitive behaviour, for instance by Amazon, and that kind of protection may not be available after Brexit.\" Dominant position Mr Daunt said that over the past 30 years UK publishers have created a dominant position in securing English-language rights to books sold across Europe. He added: \"You have to remember the UK publishing industry is deeply entwined with Europe. \"Macmillan may seem to be British, but it's owned by a German conglomerate. Penguin is the same. It is part of the Bertelsmann group, also in Germany. \"The whole question of the management of rights after Brexit, depending on what agreement we have, could become much more difficult. \"It may become easier for those rights to be funnelled not through London but say India or the US.\" The Publishers Association has issued a 10-point Brexit blueprint for publishing which includes a \"gold standard\" for intellectual property laws and copyright, \"to make the most of global free trade opportunities after Brexit\". It said it feared copyright might be viewed by trade negotiators as bargaining chips in future trade discussions. Huge success story Trade minister Baroness Fairhead said earlier this year that the UK publishing industry was \"one of our huge success stories\". She pledged that the Department for International Trade would continue to work with the industry to ensure publishers have the support they need to export and grow. But Mr Lotinga said that \"whatever kind of deal we end up having with the EU, it has to be balanced to allow us to continue to succeed\". \"The worst-case scenario concerns copyright. At the moment we are part of a system that protects works for 50, 60 or 70 years. The UK law is integrated with the EU and we have confidence in how we are treated.\" \"If we leave that system and do a trade deal with other countries, for instance the US, they have a completely different approach to copyright - one side will have to compromise on regulations.\"",

On Tuesday, the Welsh Government issued a list of what can be sold and said customers could ask for non-essential items in exceptional circumstances. It follows a backlash over supermarkets closing parts of their stores. A petition on the issue exceeded 67,000 signatures, making it the largest ever submitted to the Senedd. 'Not acceptable' Sara Jones, head of the Welsh Retail Consortium, said staff were being \"placed in a very difficult position\". She told BBC Radio Wales Breakfast with Claire Summers: \"They have the discretion to determine whether or not someone can or can't have what might be deemed a non-essential item and quite frankly it's not acceptable for our retail colleagues to have to determine that need. \"It feels to us that our staff have to referee this entire system.\" Ms Jones added: \"We know this policy will put them at risk.\" She said the association would implement the rules but was \"deeply disappointed\". Conservative member of the Senedd (MS) Russell George said he was concerned for both shop workers and customers. He said: \"It's the wrong approach the government has taken now, particularly expecting shop workers to effectively police policy, that's not a fair system. \"It's not fair on shop workers and I think it is unfair on customers to be expected to provide private information. \"I think it is a violation of people's privacy.\" He said the Welsh Government should \"allow all retail shops to open and allow supermarkets to open up their aisles and for customers to decide what is right themselves and what's essential for themselves\". Wales' First Minister Mark Drakeford first announced the measures when responding to Mr George, who said it was \"unfair\" to force independent clothing and hardware retailers to close while similar goods were on sale in major supermarkets. Plaid Cymru MS Rhun ap Iorwerth said he was worried abuse would be \"thrown at shop workers\". \"I don't think shop workers should be in this situation,\" he said. But he added: \"I think Russell George is wrong to say all retail should be open because that doesn't suggest a stay at home lockdown.\" Ministers have said the principle of restricting non-essential goods will stay until lockdown ends on 9 November. Announcing the list of essential items on Tuesday, the Welsh Government said it could not \"move away from the central principle that retailers must restrict the sale of non-essential goods for the duration of the firebreak\". \"We continue to work closely with the sector and would stress that these restrictions are in place to stop the spread of coronavirus and save lives,\" a spokesman said. \"We are asking the public to continue to support the effort by restricting unnecessary journeys and shopping .\"",

            "input": "By Caroline LowbridgeBBC News Craig Keogh, 26, was described as being aggressive by two pub workers, who told jurors he had offered to sell them the drug. Mr Keogh knew Jane Hings, who lived in the Leicestershire village of Fleckney, because he had walked her dog. He denies her murder, burglary and two counts of raping her. Mary Prior, prosecuting, said Mr Keogh went to Ms Hings' bungalow in the early hours of 24 September and she was found dead by two carers later that morning. In a list of facts agreed by both the prosecution and defence, she described how Ms Hings' body was found in the bedroom of her bungalow. \"They saw that Jane's head appeared to be between the pillows and that she was naked under the quilt,\" said Mrs Prior. \"She was plainly not breathing.\" The carers called an ambulance and attempted to resuscitate her. When a paramedic arrived he noted Ms Hings was cold to the touch and rigor mortis had already set in. The jury was told that Mr Keogh had been on a night out in Oadby on the evening of 23 September. Two members of staff from the Oadby Owl pub told jurors that Mr Keogh seemed to be under the influence of drugs and he had offered to sell cocaine to them. Kitchen manager Christopher Murphy said he warned Mr Keogh that it was their right to inform police if anyone on the premises had drugs. \"I hoped he might leave the premises and not cause any more aggravation to anyone,\" said Mr Murphy. But instead Mr Keogh responded in \"an aggressive manner towards the pair of us\", he said. \"I believe he said 'I'll swing man's jaw', which I took to mean as punching,\" said Mr Murphy. He told the court they warned him again that they would call police, but Mr Keogh responded by saying: \"I'm from Fleckney - I've seen a man get shanked.\" Mr Murphy said he understood \"shank\" to mean \"stab\". \"I believe his words were 'I have a piece' which I took as a weapon,\" Mr Murphy added. Aaron Watson, general manager at the pub, described Mr Keogh as being \"lairy\" and said he was \"going up to people, arms out, getting up to people's faces\". In further facts agreed by the prosecution and defence, the jury was told that Mr Keogh's DNA was found on swabs taken from Ms Hings' body and on a tongue piercing bar recovered from her body during a forensic examination. Mr Keogh bought a new tongue bar after Miss Hings' death, having told a friend he had swallowed his old one. Mrs Prior told the court Mr Keogh asked the friend to sell some jewellery on his behalf, which he did for £105. This jewellery was later identified as belonging to Ms Hings by her friends. Jurors were told Mr Keogh paid for a carvery meal at a pub for him and his friend later that day and a round of drinks for other friends, explaining that he had found £200 in a bag in Leicester city centre. The prosecution claim he took this money from Ms Hings' handbag, which he allegedly stole after killing her. \"Throughout the day the defendant was described [by his friend] as being happy and laughing,\" said Ms Prior.

Officers will be trained to use them in custody suites and police transit vehicles if a suspect is trying to spit or bite, but not on the streets. South Yorkshire Police and Crime Commissioner Dr Alan Billings said they were not expected to be used often. The transparent mesh fabric hoods are used to prevent those arrested from spitting or biting officers and have already been adopted by at least 17 of the UK's 49 police forces. The measure was approved by the Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC), subject to various safeguarding measures including logging and training. The force is the last in Yorkshire to introduce them. Campaign group Liberty have called the guards \"primitive, cruel and degrading\" and claim people have died because of their use. Dr Billings said: \"On the whole, officers in custody suites feel the use of them may be very low in South Yorkshire. \"They don't particularly want to but clearly there may be situations where they feel it is necessary\". Paula Romero, who designed the spit hoods being used by the force, insists the guards are safe. \"They're held away from the face so people don't feel claustrophobic and there's no chance of asphyxiation,\" she said. \"They don't inhibit vision and officers can see the face to monitor health issues or changes in behaviour, and if people do spit, it doesn't go back in their face. \"A lot of things about being arrested are degrading, and if spitting wasn't dangerous there wouldn't have been a need for this product to be developed.\" Zhaka Payne, from the South Yorkshire Police Federation, said: \"Spitting is terrible and often contains blood.

She also acted in such films as Robert Altman's Short Cuts and Superman III. Her deep voice was used to replace Britt Ekland's in 1973 horror classic The Wicker Man. Born in Mitcham, south London, Ross was the daughter of Scottish vaudevillians John and Mary Short, who took her to Los Angeles when she was four. In 1938, Ross made her film debut in Our Gang Follies, in which she sang traditional song The Bonnie Banks o' Loch Lomond. She went on to play Judy Garland's younger sister in 1943's Presenting Lily Mars. Ross became one of the early practitioners of \"vocalese\", a singing style in which original lyrics are set to an instrumental jazz solo. At 22 she wrote the lyrics to the vocalese song Twisted, a track that was later covered by Bette Midler, Joni Mitchell and others. That led Duke Ellington to ask her to stand in for Billie Holliday at the famous Apollo Theatre in Harlem, New York. Ross went on record seven albums with Dave Lambert and Jon Hendricks, including 1957's Sing a Song of Basie. Ross's career suffered in the 1960s due to an addiction to heroin she shared with her lover, comedian Lenny Bruce. Returning to the UK, she opened her own London nightclub called Annie's Room with her husband, actor Sean Lynch. She also appeared in a 1972 production of The Threepenny Opera alongside Vanessa Redgrave and Barbara Windsor. Ross, who became a US citizen in 2001, reunited with Hendricks for live performances in the 1980s and 90s. She played herself in Robert Altman's 1992 film The Player, and acted for him again the following year in Short Cuts. Her brother, the comedian and impresario Jimmy Logan, was one of Scotland's most beloved entertainers. Ross died on Tuesday at her home in Manhattan, having reportedly suffered from emphysema and heart disease. Fellow singer Barb Jungr remembered her on Twitter as \"a great woman with soul and swing\". Ross was the subject of 2012 documentary No One But Me, which had its premiere at the Glasgow Film Festival. The film's producer Gill Parry said Ross was an \"extraordinary\" woman who \"completely embodied the spirit of the show must go on\". She told the BBC: \"She lived for jazz, loved music and musicians, was massively talented, funny, classy, sharp, glamorous, cool. \"Annie was a cultural trailblazer, but above everything she was a moving and important singer and lyricist who inhabited her songs and came alive on stage. \"Annie lived a jazz life, and she inspired great friendship and devotion along the way.\" Follow us on Facebook, or on Twitter @BBCNewsEnts.

Closing it is one option being considered by the area's clinical commissioning group, which meets later. The hospital's consultants' body has written a letter of concern and has put forward a solution it believes would save the emergency department. It fears if acute services \"collapse\", other services could drop below a critical mass necessary for the full functioning of the hospital in Weston-super-Mare, on the Somerset coast. Weston General's A&E has been closed between 22:00 and 08:00 since July 2017. The hospital said it was because it could not guarantee safe levels of staffing overnight. People with serious and life-threatening emergencies were told to dial 999 and ambulances would take them to Bristol or Taunton - about 20 and 28 miles away respectively. \"At this point specialists are unlikely to be able to maintain skills, trainees are unlikely to be sent to Weston and places for 175 acute medical patients will then need to be found in adjoining trusts,\" the consultants say. The letter, sent to Julia Ross, chief executive of the Clinical Commissioning Group for Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire, proposed the emergency department be re-opened overnight to ambulance arrivals. These would be triaged on arrival by a senior department nurse who would point patients to the most appropriate treatment. They said it meant patients would be seen in the most appropriate place and treatment could be started sooner than if they were transported to Bristol.

            "input": "The CAA's chief executive Andrew Haines said he was \"furious\" that the airline had not been complying with the law - by failing to offer to re-route passengers on rival airlines. Ryanair cancelled up to 50 flights a day through to the end of October, affecting 315,000 passengers It then cancelled another 18,000 flights between November and March, affecting the travel plans of another 400,000 passengers. All of Ryanair's flights are short or medium-haul, and the vast majority are to destinations within the EU, meaning that passengers are entitled to some very specific rules on compensation. What are my options if my flight is cancelled? You can apply for a refund. Even if it is only the outbound portion of the flight that is cancelled, you can still get a refund for the return leg, assuming you do not want to use it. Or you can chose an alternative flight - perhaps on an earlier or later date. In most cases Ryanair will offer you another flight with them. However, the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) says that if Ryanair fails to offer a place on an alternative Ryanair flight within a reasonable timeframe then you have the right to be booked onto a different airline at no extra cost. Should I get a refund and arrange my own alternative flight? You are free to do this, but you will then lose out on any right to compensation, and probably be out of pocket as the alternative flight is likely to be more expensive by now. Consumer group Which? says that it is best to make Ryanair do the legwork - rather than cancel the Ryanair flight, rebook yourself on another airline, and try to reclaim any extra cost from Ryanair if the new flight is more expensive. By doing so, you might only get a refund for the cancelled Ryanair flight. I don't know whether my flight has been cancelled: What should I do? Ryanair says it has sent emails to all those affected. There is a dedicated page on the Ryanair website where there are also links to forms to fill in for alternative arrangements. If you decide to cancel or change your flight without knowing whether it will be cancelled officially, you have no special rights under the European Regulations. For that reason, the CAA advises passengers to go through the airline. Can I claim extra compensation for the inconvenience? You can claim compensation - but it is based strictly on the time of your actual arrival compared to when you originally expected to arrive. It also depends on when Ryanair told you about the cancellation. In the first wave of cancellations, many passengers were given less than a week's warning, so would have been entitled to compensation under EU rules, even if they were then found a flight with another airline. If the airline gave you more than 14 days' notice, it does not have to pay any compensation at all. As more than two weeks' notice has been given for the November to March cancellations, affected passengers will not be entitled to the extra compensation. What if I have received less than 14 days' notice? If your re-booked flight arrives more than four hours later than the flight you were originally booked on, you can claim 250 euros - around £220. For flights over 1,500km, known as medium-haul, that goes up to 400 euros - around £350. However, if the new flight re-routes you via another destination, and you end up with a longer flight as a result - you can still claim compensation, but at a lower rate. If you are flying on a short-haul flight, and the re-routed flight is at least two hours late, you can claim 125 euros - around £110. If a medium-haul re-routed flight is at least three hours late, you can claim 200 euros - around £176 - depending on the time of take-off. What if I have received less than seven days' notice? If you receive less than a week's notice of the cancellation, the criteria for compensation are tighter. In this case, your short-haul flight only needs to arrive more than two hours after your original scheduled arrival time for you to claim 250 euros. If flying more than 1,500km, and the flight is at least three hours late, you can claim 400 euros. If a new short-haul flight is re-routed, taking off more than one hour before your original flight, but arriving two hours after it, you can claim 125 euros. A re-routed medium-haul flight needs to arrive at least three hours late for compensation to be paid. In such a case passengers would get 200 euros. Am I entitled to additional help? If you find yourself stranded at the airport, you might also be entitled to an extra payment to cover short-term costs. For example, if you have had to wait an extra day to take the new flight you should be given accommodation, food, drink and access to communications - such as the cost of a couple of telephone calls.",

More than 2,500 smokers were followed up over one year. The Department of Health said it would not now offer any extra services. The Department of Health and the UK Centre for Tobacco Control Studies, in Nottingham, funded the study to find out if the support offered currently by the NHS Smoking Helpline could be improved. 'Proactive support' The smokers in the study were split into four groups. The first received standard support in the form of NHS Stop Smoking Services advice, letters, emails, text messages and access to a helpline. The second group received the same support but were also offered free nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) in the form of a 21-day supply of patches. The third group received \"proactive support\" in the form of standard support plus extra counselling sessions and messages from helpline staff. The fourth group received the same proactive support as the third group but with added free nicotine patches. Participants in the study were followed up one month and six months later. Analysis of the data showed that six months after quitting, 18.9% of the 59% who were contacted said they had managed not to smoke. Nearly 80% of this group agree to give a breath test for carbon monoxide to prove that they had stopped smoking. The study found no significant difference in success rates between those people offered different types of supportive counselling, or between those given nicotine replacement therapy. Some 18.2% of those given proactive support had quit, compared with 19.6% of those who did not receive this support. Overall, 17.7% of smokers who were offered the patches stopped smoking, compared with 20.1% of those not offered them. Even one month after setting a quit date, no significant differences were found between the groups. 'Costly burden' Professor Tim Coleman of the UK Centre for Tobacco Control Studies, who led the study, said the trial had shed light on how telephone helplines could be used to help smokers who wanted to stop. \"On the basis of this study, giving out free nicotine patches and more intensive telephone counselling through the English national quitline just doesn't seem to work. \"It brings into sharp relief the need to find other ways of using quitlines to help smokers give up, and so to reduce the terrible effects smoking has on people's lives and the costly burden to the NHS.\" Amanda Sandford, from Action on Smoking and Health (Ash), said the study showed that standard NHS care was difficult to improve upon. \"We are fortunate in having a wide range of treatments available in this country which can be tailored to the individual needs of the smoker. \"The important thing is that people wanting to stop smoking should get professional advice. \"The 17-20% quit success rate found in this study is far higher than when trying to stop smoking on your own.\" A Department of Health spokesman said the research was helpful in deciding what the helpline should offer. \"The Coleman study looked at what would happen if the helpline also offered extra services to smokers such as free nicotine patches. It found that there would be little additional benefit so we won't be adding this to the helpline.\"",

            "input": "Monitor, which regulates England's 147 foundation trusts, also found 18 trusts missed a target that 85% of suspected cancer patients start treatment within 62 days. However, it said most accident and emergency departments were coping well. A Conservative spokesman said trusts were on the whole in surplus. Two-thirds of England's NHS hospitals are now foundation trusts. They are not directed by government so have greater freedom to decide on the way services are run. The study by Monitor found the combined deficit of those trusts was £180m, higher than the £168m expected, with 60% concentrated in five organisations. A further 17 trusts have \"very small\" deficits, Monitor said. Mid Staffordshire NHS Foundation Trust, which runs the scandal-hit Stafford Hospital, became the first trust to be put into administration in April. 'Tough climate' Monitor said the reasons for the breaches of the cancer target varied between the trusts, but that an increase in GP referrals \"is a possible common factor\". Late referrals and consultant cover were also mentioned as other troubling issues. Trusts did perform well against a target to see the most urgent cases within two weeks, according to the figures for October to December 2013. The foundation trust sector as a whole has a £135m surplus so far this year, however that is lower than the planned £173m and it has \"halved since this time last year, reflecting the tough financial climate and foundation trusts' response\", the study said. The Midlands is the most \"financially challenged\" region, with 14 of its 38 trusts in deficit, including Peterborough, Mid Staffordshire, Sherwood Forest and Milton Keynes. Overall, 44% (33) of acute trusts, 20% (one) of ambulance trusts, 11% (two) of specialist trusts and 7% (three) of mental health trusts are in deficit. Of the 147 trusts, 26 are currently in breach of their licence, including eight that are in special measures. Monitor is also investigating a further eight for potential licence breaches for issues including performance failures and financial problems. Trusts have delivered £867m of \"efficiency savings\" so far this year, although that is £185m below what had been planned by this stage. Jason Dorsett, financial reporting director at Monitor, said: \"All trusts need to up their game in delivering efficiency savings this year in order to maintain and improve the quality of care for patients, and ensure the sustainability of services. \"The financial trust sector is doing remarkably well in tough circumstances but is looking a little frayed at the edges.\" A Conservative health spokesman said: \"As Monitor themselves say, foundation trusts are performing well despite pressure on services, and are on the whole in surplus. \"This government has shone a light on poor care in a way that Labour neglected to do - and which led to tragedies like Mid Staffs - in some cases putting pressure on finances as trusts address historical issues with nursing numbers and the like. \"We are putting recovery plans in place for any trust in financial difficulty, but as the culture within our NHS changes, we do not accept that delivering safe and compassionate care in the longer term costs more money.\" Shadow Health Secretary Andy Burnham said: \"After a decade of improvements in cancer waiting times, progress has been derailed by David Cameron's NHS reorganisation.\"",

As part of their quest to ensure the next Einstein comes from the continent, young African scientists were asked to come up with innovations that could \"solve a big problem for humanity\". No pressure, then. Here is a summary of the top three ideas, as chosen by the NEF's panel of expert judges. Winner: Moses Bangura, Engineer, Sierra Leone Innovation: Medical drone network Mr Bangura wants to use a fleet of electrically powered drones, which could be used to deliver treatment to patients in hard-to-reach areas. The unmanned aerial vehicles could serve a double purpose, both delivering essentials like medicine or emergency fluids, and also taking away blood or other samples for testing. The drones would be able to bypass traffic congestion, a major problem in many African cities, as well as reach rural areas with poor road networks. They would be able to fly with an 8kg (17lb) payload for 40 minutes, covering a radius of 40km (25 miles). \"We believe that the geographical location of someone cannot determine whether they receive an available life-saving drug,\" Mr Bangura says. Runners-Up: Moussa Thiam, Mali Innovation: Transforming rubbish into building materials Mr Thiam's plan is take plastic waste, the build-up of which is a massive problem for so many cities across the continent, and turn it into something that can be used for the public good, such as building roads or pavements. Many of the plastics that end up in African landfills or clog up urban drainage systems take more than 100 years to biodegrade naturally. The project would build on existing research showing that plastic waste can be used to create materials that act as a substitute or part-substitute for cement, when combined with sand and gravel. \"[The innovation would lead to] a healthier environment, with a reduction in both pollution and the cost of building materials,\" Mr Thiam says. Sylvia Mukasa, Kenya Innovation: Mobile health information service for mothers Ms Mukasa's idea, named Afya Mama, is to use mobile phones to provide women with better information about health issues surrounding pregnancy, immunisation, family planning and HIV/Aids. Pregnant women, healthcare workers and others would get health advice by SMS, or by making a phone call and selecting pre-recorded audio content. The messages could be pre-recorded in any language and selected using Interactive Voice Response technology, meaning the service could cover the more than 40 ethnic dialects in Kenya. \"Our objective is to consistently sensitise mothers with information on healthcare and best practices, linking them up with an expert in the case of emergency,\" Ms Mukasa says.",

That document is, one can be pretty certain, a hoax, but it spoke to concerns that some state comprehensive schools were being \"Islamicised\". Over this week, a lot of evidence and interpretation has emerged on this theme. Six schools are now in special measures. Of these, two were fairly ordinary, bad schools and four were very unusual. Heat persists Those were the three Park View Educational Trust schools - Park View, Nansen and Golden Hillock - and Oldknow. The impression of the reports is that Islam certainly informed decisions in ways that might not have been appropriate for ostensibly secular institutions. Should Koranic Arabic have been on the walls? Should a primary school use Islamic banking? The concern has been that hardline social conservatism can, in some situations and without precautions, create an atmosphere where extreme views might emerge. Newsnight found teachers working at the schools harbouring concerns about extremism, and were able to give examples of worrying incidents. So what now? As Chris Husbands, director of the Institute of Education, said in the IOE London blog, Birmingham needs \"commitment to working through local tensions and developing… trust amongst all those involved. They need the heat taken out of the situation\". But the heat persists. The BBC has encountered local people who feared to speak out in favour of reform in the schools. Public enraged There is continuing unwillingness to compromise or acknowledge concerns on all sides - and the content of the reports is disputed. Will things improve? Well, the lawyers are already involved. And the DfE's review of the issues, conducted by Peter Clarke, a former police officer, is still to come. His appointment was controversial to begin with; he is a former counter-terrorism officer. Some people in the area are enraged. On Wednesday, about 120 people showed up to a meeting. It was chaired by a local National Union of Teachers and Socialist Workers Party organiser; neither organisation has a reputation for conciliation. At the meeting, there was a lot of understandable concern about the conflation of Islam, extremism and terrorism. Many Muslims are alarmed at the idea that hardline conservative Islam might be seen as a step from extremism. 'Handshake refused' Still, at the same meeting, there were hints that some members of staff have attitudes that might not be reconcilable to life within a secular state primary school. A male teacher at Oldknow told the meeting on Wednesday that an inspector from the DfE made him feel his personal integrity had been impugned. Why? She, a woman, had sought to shake his hand. He refused on account of her gender. And the audience reaction was not unsympathetic. Will things get better? Maybe the anger will dissipate; much will depend on how the new leaders of the four schools at the centre of this handle the situation. But there are grounds for pessimism.",

The episodes are \"designed to make it easy and fun for global fans who have difficulty enjoying BTS' music and contents due to the language barrier,\" said their record label in a statement. Although they'll be a handy way to pass time in isolation, the lessons were planned before the Covid-19 outbreak. BTS's management company, Big Hit Entertainment, first announced the series during a corporate briefing in February, while infection rates in South Korea were still relatively low. The idea came about after the band's passionate fanbase called for English subtitles to be added to their videos. \"There are only limited ways our fans could learn Korean with ease,\" noted Big Hit's founder, Bang Si-Hyuk. \"Big Hit has created Korean learning media using artist content for a more rewarding and immersive experience for our fans.\" The series will reuse material from the band's reality show, Run BTS!, as well as YouTube-only series like Bangtan Bombs and BTS Episodes. Snippets from these shows will be \"reassembled so that one can learn Korean by listening to expressions used frequently by the members\". Each of the three-minute episodes will focus on simple Korean grammar and expressions, with the lesson plan developed by Professor Heo Yong of the Department of Korean Education at Hankuk University of Foreign Studies; and researchers at the Korean Language Content Institute. Separately, BTS put out a video on Monday thanking medical staff around Korea for their response to the coronavirus pandemic, and urging fans to practise social distancing. The group said the pandemic had made them realise how they'd taken everyday life for granted, and how performing to an arena of empty seats for a TV show brought home \"how precious each moment with you was\". \"I think the hardest thing may be that we are feeling more and more isolated,\" they said, \"but guys, we are connected closely, and we share both pain and joy. \"These are times we need to trust more than doubt, care more than anger. As citizens of Korea and the world, BTS will face this challenge together with all of you.\" South Korea has experienced Asia's biggest outbreak of coronavirus outside of China, recording its first case in January and reaching a peak when infections spread amongst a fringe Christian group in the south-eastern city of Daegu. On Monday, the country reported its lowest number of new cases since that peak, but health officials have warned against complacency, saying another wave of infections could arise if people start to ignore safety advice.

They found the patients gained resilience and improved relationships with family and friends. All the patients were undergoing high-risk stem-cell transplant treatments. To produce their music videos, the young patients were asked to write song lyrics, record sounds and collect video images to create their story. They were guided by a qualified music therapist who helped the patients identify what was important to them and how to communicate their ideas. When completed, the videos were shared with family and friends through \"premieres\". Positive effect After the sessions, the researchers found that the group that made music videos reported feeling more resilient and better able to cope with their treatment than another group not offered music therapy. Also, 100 days after treatment, the same group said they felt communication within their families was better and they were more connected with friends. These are among several protective factors identified by researchers that they say help teenagers and young adults to cope in the face of cancer treatments. Lead study author Dr Joan Haase, of Indiana University School of Nursing, said: \"These protective factors influence the ways adolescents and young adults cope, gain hope and find meaning in the midst of their cancer journey. \"Adolescents and young people who are resilient have the ability to rise above their illness, gain a sense of mastery and confidence in how they have dealt with their cancer, and demonstrate a desire to reach out and help others.\" When researchers interviewed the patients' parents, they found that the videos also gave them useful insights into their children's cancer experiences. 'Feel connected' Sheri Robb, a music therapist who worked on the study, explained why music was particularly good at encouraging young people to engage. She said: \"When everything else is so uncertain, songs that are familiar to them are meaningful and make them feel connected.\" Cancer Research UK says music therapy can help people with cancer reduce their anxiety and improve their quality of life. It can also help to reduce some cancer symptoms and side-effects of treatment - but it cannot cure, treat or prevent any type of disease, including cancer. Previous studies looking at the effects of music therapy on children with cancer found that it could help reduce fear and distress while improving family relationships. A spokesperson for Teenage Cancer Trust said getting children with cancer to co-operate and communicate was most important. \"Every day in UK, around seven young people aged between 13 and 24 are diagnosed with cancer. We know that being treated alongside others their own age makes a huge difference to their whole experience, especially if it's in an environment that allows young people with cancer to support each other.\"",

The Communities, Equality and Local Government Committee says encouragement in sport must start at an early age. And it calls for help to keep girls interested in sport beyond age 11. The committee report comes as annual figures released by Welsh sports clubs shows membership on the increase. Welsh Gymnastics now has almost 10,000 female members - up 65%. Table Tennis Association of Wales says it has broken through the 3,000 member mark, despite the sport seeing its Olympic funding cut completely by UK Sport in the run up to Rio 2016. The last two years have seen records set for sports club membership in Wales with 534,000 people in 2012 and 542,000 people in 2013 recorded as members of clubs. But the committee found barriers obstructing some groups of people from participation. 'Sedentary lifestyle' It was told that girls were generally very keen to play sports like hockey and netball between ages seven-nine but that they tended to drop out at about age 10-11 due to concerns about body image and lack of availability of preferred activities such as dance. It also heard evidence from black and minority ethnic groups highlighting problems with discrimination, along with unsuitable equipment and environments for women of certain faiths. \"Warnings of rising childhood obesity rates and increasing cases of diabetes have been very much in the news recently, and the evidence linking these conditions to a more sedentary lifestyle is clear,\" said Christine Chapman AM, chairman of the committee. \"Changing this attitude requires a cultural shift in the way people choose to live their lives and one of the main ways we can do that is to increase their knowledge and understanding of what options are available to them. \"Another is to ensure that the encouragement and positive experiences of physical activity start early on at school age. \"Therefore, we believe the Welsh government's consideration of whether to make PE a core subject in the Welsh curriculum is crucial. \"We also want to see the Welsh government do more to encourage women and black and minority ethnic communities into sport. \"With local authorities feeling the squeeze from budget cuts we believe there is a greater need than ever to ensure access to affordable leisure facilities across Wales.\" The committee made 12 recommendations in its report including asking the Welsh government to work with local authorities to identify opportunities to increase and improve access to leisure facilities. It also wants to see further research work undertaken to identify ways to encourage girls to participate in sport as they become older. Prof Laura McAllister from Sport Wales which promotes sport development, said; \"Of course there are costs involved around equipment and travel and hire of facilities, but if you look at what it costs to be a member of say Welsh Gymnastics, next to nothing really, under £20. \"Tell me anything else you can get for that value that gives you the kind of benefits that active sport gives you.\"",

Titles that are on offer include Hitman and, soon, Tomb Raider. The launch followed news that OnLive, another streaming service, was struggling. The company was forced to sell its assets to a venture capital firm - a controversial move which wiped out investors' stakes and staff's share rights. OnLive's founder, Steve Perlman, later resigned. Another service, Gaikai, offers demos of high-end titles, and was recently acquired by Sony. Tomb Raider Square Enix is currently offering streaming of titles which have already been available on consoles for a considerable amount of time. While OnLive operated by using a monthly subscription charge, CoreOnline will instead allow gamers to play the game for free for a limited time. \"Square Enix is at the forefront of experimentation of new business and services models in the game industry,\" said Yoichi Wada, Square Enix's chief executive. \"Through our CoreOnline technology service, users can access our content easily through the browser.\" Video advertisements can be watched in order to gather more minutes to continue playing. Alternatively, gamers can pay a fee to unlock segments of the game. At launch, the service only offered two titles - Hitman: Blood Money, which was first released on consoles in 2006, and Mini Ninjas, which hit shelves in 2009. Refreshed titles Dan Pearson, deputy European editor for GamesIndustry.biz, said the idea was a shrewd method of re-energising the firm's strong back catalogue. \"I'd be very surprised if we saw any of their new games debuted here, or even put up a year after their release,\" he told the BBC. \"It's an alternative way of consuming their back catalogue. \"If anyone's buying a two to three-year-old game, they're going to be buying it second hand - so the publisher doesn't see any of that money.\" Mr Pearson added that a \"happy side benefit\" of the service would be to help curb piracy - a huge and growing issue in gaming, particularly on the PC platform. Another publisher, Ubisoft, has said its own \"internal estimate\" suggested PC piracy rates were at between 93-95%. Like Square Enix, Ubisoft is experimenting with so-called free-2-play, or F2P, online models. However, these titles are games specially created, or at least adapted, for online play - such as id Software's QuakeLive product. Square Enix's moves in this area will be followed with some interest, Gameindustry.biz's Mr Pearson said. \"I think a lot of other publishers will have a close eye on this. \"Once someone has set this kind of precedent, there's no reason why others won't follow suit.\"",

            "input": "By James BadcockMadrid The judge, who will consider his verdict after Tuesday's final hearing, has come under fire over his decisions to allow evidence to be presented about the alleged victim's personal life and character, while not permitting the inclusion of texted conversations between the accused in which they apparently discuss plans to rape women. Searching through conversations in the WhatsApp group called \"La manada\", or \"wolf pack\", to which the men belonged, police investigators came across an incident in which video showed some of the individuals apparently abusing another woman, who seemed to be unconscious. Conversations prior to their journey from Seville to Pamplona mention the need to procure date rape drugs and ropes, \"because when we get there, we'll want to rape everything we set eyes on\". A private detective's report, commissioned by one of the accused, was compiled by spying on the alleged victim in the aftermath of the alleged attack, including her activity on social media and a holiday with friends. Two weeks into the trial, the defence decided to withdraw the file as evidence. The strategy of the defence has been based on an attempt to show that the woman consented to group sex with all five of them. They are men in their late 20s, including a Civil Guard police officer who is also accused of stealing the female student's mobile phone immediately after the incident. If found guilty, the men face prison terms of up to 25 years. \"In this trial, it seems that what is being judged is not the crimes, but this woman's honour,\" says Amalia Fernández, president of Themis, a Spanish organisation of women jurists. Criticising the judge's decision to include the detective's report and media debates over whether the alleged victim had been truthful in describing the late-night encounter with the men as rape, Ms Fernández sees evidence of a systematic bias against women. \"We live in a society with patriarchal attitudes. Courts reflect society leading to a double victimisation as in this case. In crimes against women, the victim is turned into a suspect, something that never happens to complainants in other crimes.\" Ms Fernández questions how the judge could have considered a private detective's report on the student from Madrid to be of any value in evaluating her level of trauma, while describing the material from the accused's WhatsApp conversations as irrelevant in terms of their \"preparations\" for the alleged crime. She also criticises the fact that the accused were not cross-examined until the end of the trial after hearing all the other evidence and the testimony of the alleged victim, an extremely rare exception to the norm in Spanish trials in which defendants are put on the stand first. When the five men finally gave evidence, women protestors could be heard outside the Pamplona courthouse shouting slogans including \"No means no\". Media reporting, focusing heavily on the alleged victim's credibility, has been criticised. In one instance, a major TV network ran a poll on Twitter asking the public if they believed it was a rape or consensual sex. Videos of the late-night encounter between the men and the young woman from Madrid show how they wandered the streets among other drunken revellers before two of the men led her into the basement block of flats by the hand. According to the police report on the case, the men surrounded the teenager in a small alcove, removed her clothes and had unprotected penetrative sex. The men sent WhatsApp messages to friends celebrating the sex act, and promised to share videos they took on their phones. Those videos have been examined by the court frame by frame. The police report on the videos says that the alleged victim maintains a \"passive or neutral\" attitude throughout the scene, keeping her eyes closed at all times. \"I just wanted it to finish as soon as possible,\" she said on the witness stand. The woman was found in a reportedly distraught state by a couple in the street outside the scene of the alleged crime. She told the court she is still having psychological treatment to deal with trauma from the alleged attack.",

Prime Minister Boris Johnson urged everyone to \"behave responsibly\". Northern Ireland's \"stay-at-home\" order is ending and some rules are being eased in Scotland and Wales. The PM had planned to have a celebratory pint to mark the measures easing, but that has been postponed following the death of the Duke of Edinburgh on Friday. Snow showers and chilly temperatures in parts of southern England appeared to do little to dampen enthusiasm for outdoor pints. Scott Westlake, landlord of the Myrtle Tavern in Leeds, said the pub had received 5,000 bookings over the next month for his new outside eating and drinking area. Mr Westlake said: \"If the weather's good, I think most people are optimistic and excited. \"Atmosphere, ambience, seeing your mates, I think they (customers) are looking forward to that more than anything - and they'll sit in a blizzard for the first few days at least.\" Nicholas Hair, landlord and owner of the Kentish Belle pub in Bexleyheath, south-east London, said there was a \"sense of celebration\" in the early hours of Monday as it opened to midnight customers. \"I'm hoping that this is a sort of rebirth, and that we are reopen for the foreseeable,\" he said. Meanwhile, a town in Lincolnshire has introduced its own European-style pavement cafes to help boost trade. Several hospitality venues in the market town of Louth have been allowed to put seating and tables outside to serve people during the day. Lewis Phillips, general manager of the Masons Arms, which is one of the venues involved in the Louth scheme, said: \"We don't have a lovely big beer garden. So what we've got out the front here is absolutely brilliant.\" The prime minister had planned to have a celebratory pint to mark the measures easing, but that was postponed following the death of the Duke of Edinburgh on Friday. However, Downing Street confirmed that Mr Johnson did have a haircut before he paid tribute to the duke in the House of Commons. Marika Smith, general manager of Hough End Leisure Centre, Withington, Manchester, said all of their swimming times were already fully booked on Monday. Kelly Boad, owner of the Hair & Beauty Gallery in Warwick, opened her salon at midnight for a symbolic \"first cut\" of 2021, adding she is fully booked for the first few weeks. Shoppers rushed back to the High Street, as queues formed outside branches of Primark, JD Sports and TK Maxx and retailers extended their opening hours. Another business that reopened in England was Secret Spa, which offers at-home salon and spa treatments in London, Manchester and Brighton. Co-owner Emily Ewart-Perks said it had \"been such a long time coming\", saying: \"Everyone has really missed the social contact of the day-to-day job and making clients happy.\" The rule changes in England from Monday include: But the British Beer and Pub Association has estimated that only 40% of licensed premises have the space to reopen for outdoor service. In Northern Ireland, the remaining school year groups 8-11 returned to the classroom. The stay-at-home message has been lifted and up to 10 people from two households can meet in a private garden. In Scotland, pupils at schools in six council areas went back to school but not everyone returned on Monday because differing term times mean some schools are still closed for the Easter holidays. After a drop in Covid cases prompted the Welsh Government to bring forward some dates for reopening, all students returned to face-to-face teaching on Monday. Non-essential shops can also reopen, close-contact services can resume, driving lessons can restart and travel in and out of Wales from the rest of the UK is allowed. Shoppers, gym fans, domestic holiday makers, outdoor drinkers and diners, plus those in need of a haircut will share the government's hope that Monday is an irreversible step towards old and cherished freedoms. So will the business owners who will be welcoming them back. But this significant easing of lockdown is also an important test. Will customers want or be able to return in sufficient numbers for firms to break even and if they don't, what will it take to make the economy work again? Only two in five hospitality venues have any outdoor space and the rules over future inside opening are still unclear. The government and the opposition have distanced themselves from requiring Covid certificates for day-to-day life but the government has also hinted individual businesses may require them if they wish. Hospitality chiefs have told the BBC they fear having to choose between two different ways to lose money - half-empty venues without certificates or full ones with extra staff and hassle to check Covid status. Demand may vary by sector. Hairdressers are booked solid, retailers are hopeful of high footfall and are welcoming longer opening hours but some holiday parks are reporting subdued bookings as many of their public amenities remain closed. It is a test for everyone - but a welcome one for most. In a statement, the prime minister said the rule relaxations are \"a major step forward in our roadmap to freedom\". \"I'm sure it will be a huge relief for those business owners who have been closed for so long, and for everyone else it's a chance to get back to doing some of the things we love and have missed,\" he added. \"I urge everyone to continue to behave responsibly and remember 'hands, face, space and fresh air' to suppress Covid as we push on with our vaccination programme.\" The rule changes in England marks the third easing since the country's third national lockdown began on 6 January. There is a gap of at least five weeks between each step on the government's \"roadmap\" out of lockdown, to allow the impact of changes on infection rates and hospital admissions to be assessed. The next significant date is 17 May, when up to six people from different households could be allowed to socialise indoors. More than 32 million people in the UK have now had their first dose of a coronavirus vaccine and of those 7.6m have had their second dose, according to the latest government data. Meanwhile, 189,665 second doses were administered on Sunday - along with 69,223 first doses. Saturday marked a record total for second doses, with 475,230 given, while 111,109 were first doses. A further 13 people are reported to have died within 28 days of a positive Covid test, and there have been 3,568 new infections. There can be a lag in reporting coronavirus statistics during weekends. Meanwhile, surge coronavirus testing is being rolled out in areas of Wandsworth and Lambeth in south London, where cases of the South Africa variant were found. All identified cases are self-isolating or have completed their isolation, and their contacts have been traced and asked to self-isolate.",

Reports seen by the BBC show how bank analysts had noticed sharp movements in exchange rates. Banks even warned their clients about trading at that time. Rate manipulation Analysts warned trading at 4pm could have a 'debilitating' effect on investments, costing up to 5% annually. The London fix is widely used by pension funds and other investors to value portfolios and set a price for deals. Separate rates are calculated for each pair of currencies, such as the Euro and US Dollar, or the Pound and the US Dollar. The rates hit the headlines in October, when Barclays suspended six traders, and RBS suspended two traders in connection with the regulators' inquiry. Fifteen banks have been contacted about this issue, including Citigroup, Deutsche Bank and UBS. At this time no-one is formally accused of wrongdoing. The suggestion is that traders colluded to push through high volumes of trades in the run-up to and during the window to influence rates. 'Surprising revelation' But research by Morgan Stanley and seen by the BBC shows that banks were already concerned about the London fix in 2009 - four years before the investigations were announced. It noted unusually sharp movements in exchange rates around 4pm, concluding that anyone trading at that time is unlikely to get the best possible deal available that day, increasing the costs of currency trades. It calls this a \"surprising revelation,\" since the \"prevailing consensus\" is that the 4pm London fix is the \"optimal\" time to trade. Though small, these added costs can mount up significantly over a year's trading. \"In the worst case scenarios, these costs can even begin to have a debilitating effect on annual performance,\" says the report, entitled 'A Guide to FX Transaction Cost Analysis, Part 1'. These conclusions are based on an analysis of real data for the US Dollar/Euro exchange rates. The report speculates that the impact could be even worse on less widely traded pairs of currencies. Part 3 of the series estimates the potential losses at up to 5% annually on a typical investment portfolio - which would more than wipe out all the interest income of many investments. None of the reports allege any illegality. Regulators unaware Paul Aston, author of the report, now works in New York at the financial firm TD Securities. He said some investors had started moving away from trading at the fix, but many are still using it. Asked why regulators had not intervened when his report was written, he said that foreign exchange \"is the widest, freest, global market that there is, so in order to have any kind of regulatory effectiveness in this market you have to have very tight co-ordination over multiple jurisdictions,\" something which would be difficult to achieve. \"I also don't think that regulators were aware of how the market works, or the uses of currencies,\" he said. David Ruffley MP, a member of the treasury select committee, told the BBC: \"I think it's fairly clear that everyone in this country who has shares in pension funds, and that's most of us one way or the other, will have seen a fall in the value of those shares as a result of this.\" \"And that's not a politician saying it - it is what a bank was telling its own customers in 2009.\" He has written to the Serious Fraud Office, requesting that they run an investigation in parallel to the Financial Conduct Authority's probe.",

Committee chairman Andrew Tyrie said the committee was concerned about the allegations and had decided to take oral evidence from both HSBC and HMRC. Meanwhile, the BBC understands the Treasury is preparing legislation to tighten the tax evasion laws. BBC business editor Kamal Ahmed has been told that it is preparing legislation to tighten the rules on undeclared income held in offshore accounts. The chancellor made it clear last April that he would like to toughen the rules over tax evasion including offshore banking. Since then there has been international agreement on the automatic exchange of information regarding tax matters, but no unilateral steps from the UK government. Expanded inquiry Mr Tyrie said the committee would be probing whether banks had made adequate progress in changing their own practices. \"Banks have repeatedly told the committee that, since the crisis, they have put in place reforms to ensure that they operate on the basis of sharply improved standards,\" he said \"The committee will need reassurance that they have done so in private banking.\" Mr Falciani, a former IT worker for HSBC, said UK tax authorities would have known about the stolen list of clients of HSBC's Swiss private bank when it was given to French officials. The BBC has also learned the UK tax authority is to expand its inquiry. HMRC will meet the police and the Serious Fraud Office later in the week. Speaking to BBC Radio 4's Today programme, Mr Falciani said French authorities had got in touch with HM Revenue & Customs and passed on information in 2010. 'Huge issues' He said the UK government should have known the bank itself was doing wrong in 2010. \"By that time I (had) already declared and explained the problems that were happening,\" he said. \"It was made public at that time and of course I already at that time explained the major, huge issues we were foreseeing inside HSBC,\" he added. Asked if the information Mr Falciani had provided in 2010 was also about the behaviour of the bank, as well as individuals, he said: \"It was exactly about the behaviour and containing all the required information for an internal audit.\" He said there was much more to be shared and that co-operation between European tax authorities would reveal far more evidence. His latest revelations follow angry exchanges on Wednesday, when MPs accused tax officials of failing to deal with issues adequately. Top officials from HM Revenue & Customs were shouted down by MPs, angry at what they said was a lack of urgency in tackling the HSBC tax-dodging scandal. Margaret Hodge, chairwoman of the Public Accounts Committee, accused Lin Homer, HMRC chief executive, of a \"pathetic response\". Analysis: Kamal Ahmed, business editor Herve Falciani's interview on the Today programme has raised two important issues. Firstly, that he offered information in 2010 to UK authorities that HSBC was involved in aiding and abetting tax evasion for its clients. The government says that all it knew about were the publicly reported facts that clients of HSBC's Swiss bank were being investigated over their tax affairs. And that meant there was no reason to prevent Lord Green, the former chairman of HSBC, becoming the new trade minister. Secondly, that HSBC's Swiss bank controls in the 2000s were in a mess and that failing computer systems made it impossible for the bank to have \"sufficient oversight\". This is vital, because allegations of lack of control and oversight are toxic for any bank and its board. Don't forget, HSBC was fined nearly £1.2bn for governance failures over money laundering allegations in its Mexico operation. HSBC says that controls have been improved in its Swiss operation. The question is: if Mr Falciani is correct, why were they allowed to get into such a mess in the first place? Ms Homer denied she had failed to take firm action against UK citizens hiding money in HSBC accounts in Geneva. She said it was \"absolutely not the case\" she was failing the UK taxpayer. Ms Homer explained why there had been only one prosecution of someone whose hidden accounts in Switzerland had been revealed. She said that most of the information leaked via the French authorities in 2010, which involved about 3,600 UK individuals, was incomplete or \"dirty\" data. Of these, 3,200 individuals had been traced and, of the 1,100 most serious cases - which HMRC had chosen to pursue - only 130 were now outstanding. From the rest of those cases, £135m had been recovered, Ms Homer said. \"We were speedy and on the case,\" she told the MPs. She explained that in fact, two-thirds of the total group of UK-based HSBC account holders \"were found to be compliant\" with UK tax rules, in some cases because they had non-dom status.",

            "input": "By Nina PerryBBC World Service Deeply etched into a small clay tablet, which fits neatly into the palm of a hand, are the words of one of the earliest lullabies on record, dating from around 2,000BC. The writing is in cuneiform script - one of the first forms of writing - and would have been carefully shaped by a Babylonian scribe, with a stylus made of reed, in what is modern-day Iraq. It's a rather menacing lullaby, in which the baby is chastised for disturbing the house god with its crying - and threatened with repercussions. Frightening themes were typical of lullabies of the era, says Richard Dumbrill, a leading expert on ancient music with the British Museum in London, where the tablet is kept. \"They try to tell the child that he has made a lot of noise, that he woke up the demon, and if he doesn't shut up right now, the demon will eat him.\" If this sounds more scary than sleep-inducing, it so happens that many lullabies - including those sung today - have dark undertones. \"Rock, rock, rock,\" begins one popular lullaby sung by the Luo people in western Kenya, before warning starkly, \"The baby who cries will be eaten by a hyena,\" - an actual possibility in some parts of the country. The well-known UK lullaby, Rock-a-bye-Baby, also contains danger, warning in the nicest possible way that the baby and cradle will drop from the bough of a tree. Night-time has always been associated with darkness and fear and this may go some way to explaining the threatening themes in some lullabies, says Sally Goddard Blythe, author of a number of books on child development, and director of The Institute for Neuro-Physiological Psychology. But all lullabies - even the scary ones - she says, are rooted in \"love, tenderness and caring\". Many lullabies, regardless of the meaning of their words, possess a peaceful hypnotic quality. Others are mournful or dark, like a lament. Some are \"telling you the history of the country, or telling you how you should or shouldn't run your life - kind of like advice columns for babies,\" says Zoe Palmer, a musician working on a lullabies project at the Royal London Hospital. Palmer works with new mothers at the hospital, as part of a group of musicians, helping them to learn and share existing lullabies - as well as creating new ones. It's a very diverse community - with parents from China, Bangladesh and India, as well as Italy, Spain, France and Eastern Europe - but she has found that lullabies are remarkably similar across cultures. \"Wherever you go in the world, women use the same tones, the same sort of way of singing to their babies,\" she says. Many lullabies are very basic, she notes, with just a few words repeated again and again. Rhythmically, there are shared patterns too. Lullabies are usually in triple metre or 6/8 time, giving them a \"characteristic swinging or rocking motion,\" says Sally Goddard Blythe. This is soothing because it mimics the movement a baby experiences in the womb as a mother moves. As well as helping a baby to sleep, lullabies may serve and educational purpose. Singing with a baby is a natural and effective way of sharing new words and sounds, says Colwyn Trevarthen, professor of child psychology at the University of Edinburgh and vice-president of the British Association for Early Childhood Education. For example, a Swedish lullaby, Mors Lilla Olle (Mother's Little Olle), has eight different vowel sounds, in four rhyming pairs. For decades Trevarthen has been studying how mothers and babies interact in the early months. His research suggests that babies are innately musical, and have an excellent sense of rhythm. Even when a mother is not actually singing to a baby she tends to speak in a musical way, he says, with the notes and inflections of her words going up and down, and a clear rhythm. What's particularly \"astonishing\" he says, is how precisely the baby responds - in coos and gestures - often exactly in time with the pulse and bar structure of her sounds. Baby and mother \"get in the groove,\" he says, like jazz musicians improvising. \"Human beings are born with all these very strong human capacities for being expressive in time,\" says Trevarthen. In the 1920s, poet Federico Garcia Lorca, who studied Spanish lullabies, noted the \"poetic character\" and \"depth of sadness\" of many of them. One of the best-known traditional Iraqi lullabies, is a particularly sad one, about the heart-ache of missing relatives. It's often sung at funerals and ends: \"What a pain in my heart. Oh my son, how I wish to hear from my loved ones.\" Lorca's theory - which many researchers today would agree with - was that a large part of the function of the lullaby is to help a mother vocalise her worries and concerns. In short, that they serve as therapy for the mother. We know that lullabies were deemed important enough to be documented by the Babylonians 4,000 years ago, but how much longer will they survive? There are many factors that could threaten the continuation of the lullaby tradition - the array of gadgets to entertain and pacify a crying child, and the increased reliance on technology for communication, for example. Perhaps the habit of singing is less a part of everyday life than it once was, where previous generations without televisions and computers would naturally come together to sing and share stories. But my research on lullabies indicates they are still going strong - from Kenya, to Syria, to Morocco to the UK. Archaeomusicologist Richard Dumbrill suspects there may be something intrinsic to the experience of raising a child which will guarantee the lullaby's survival in the future. \"The oldest lullaby is certainly when the first woman sang to her first child,\" he says. \"I'm quite certain that lullabies belong to the instinctive nature of motherhood.\" Reem Kelani, a British-born Palestinian singer, agrees. \"It's one of those universal things,\" she says. \"Whenever I sing a lullaby, wherever I am in the world, there are always people who relate to it. \"It's the umbilical cord… and that's the exceptional power of a bedtime lullaby - it's timeless and it's forever.\" Nina Perry was reporting for a BBC World Service documentary series on lullabies.

But at a follow-up inspection in November the CQC said staffing had increased, and morale and governance had improved. Prof Ted Baker, chief inspector of hospitals, however, said there were still \"serious concerns at the emergency departments and medical wards\" and the CQC had \"taken further urgent action\" to \"protect the safety of patients\". The CQC said details of those concerns, relating to the November inspections, would not be published until next year. The independent inquiry into maternity care at the trust was ordered in 2017, by the then Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt into avoidable baby deaths at the trust. It is now thought to include more than 800 cases including deaths, serious injuries, and where families have concerns about the care they received. Paula Clark, Interim Chief Executive of Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust, said it had appointed 29 new midwives, a new director of midwifery, a new care group director and two new consultants since April. \"We will continue to build on these improvements, but we appreciate there is more work still to do,\" she said. \"In our emergency departments, we acted immediately on CQC findings by improving our processes, increasing specialist training for staff and we have already appointed a sepsis nurse. \"We are building a programme of improvement to address the areas of concern and ensure our patients receive the best possible care.\" The CQC refused to confirm whether the latest concerns were linked to staffing levels or sepsis care, two issues recently raised at hospital board meetings. Last week, the board heard the trust was set to lose two substantive consultants in A&E over the next two months. Even with the appointment of an extra locum early next year it would take the total number of A&E consultants across both Shrewsbury and Telford sites to 10, half of what the Royal College of Emergency Medicine recommends.

Months of protests in Sudan led to the ousting and arrest of long-time leader Omar al-Bashir on Thursday. Demonstrators have vowed to stay on the streets until there is an immediate move to civilian rule. A sit-in is continuing outside the defence ministry in the capital Khartoum. What did the military council say? In a press conference on Sunday, spokesman Maj Gen Shams Ad-din Shanto said the military council was \"ready to implement\" whatever civilian government the opposition parties agreed. \"We won't appoint a PM. They'll choose one,\" he said, referring to opposition and protest groups. He also said the army would not remove protesters from their sit-in by force, but called on protesters \"to let normal life resume\" and stop unauthorised roadblocks. \"Taking up arms will not be tolerated,\" he added. The military council also announced a raft of decisions, including: What's been happening in Sudan? Protests against a rise in the cost of living began in December but soon developed into a wider call for the removal of Mr Bashir and his government. On Thursday the military removed and detained the veteran leader after nearly 30 years in power. The coup leader, Defence Minister Awad Ibn Auf, announced the military would oversee a two-year transitional period followed by elections and imposed a three-month state of emergency. But demonstrators vowed to stay in the streets regardless, demanding an immediate switch to civilian government. Mr Ibn Auf himself stood down the next day, as did the feared security chief Gen Salah Gosh. Lt Gen Abdel Fattah Abdelrahman Burhan was then named as head of the transitional military council, to become Sudan's third leader in as many days. In a televised address on Saturday, Gen Burhan vowed to \"uproot the regime\", pledging to respect human rights, end a night curfew, release political prisoners immediately, dissolve all provincial governments, try those who had killed demonstrators and tackle corruption. But the Sudan Professionals Association (SPA), which has been spearheading the demonstrations, said the council's response \"did not achieve any of the demands of the people\" and urged protests to continue. Among its demands are the restructuring of state security, the arrest of \"corrupt leaders\" and the dissolution of militias that operated under former President Bashir. The whereabouts of Sudan's former leader is currently unknown, but the coup leaders said he was in a secure place. Mr Bashir has been indicted on charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity in Darfur by the International Criminal Court. But the military council has said it will not extradite him, although he could well be put on trial in Sudan. Mr Bashir's National Congress Party on Saturday called his overthrow unconstitutional, and demanded that the military council release the party's imprisoned members. Maj-Gen Shanto said that the former ruling party would have no part in the civilian transitional government but could field candidates in the next elections. Are you protesting?

Excited fans had been waiting for the title to become available here ever since it was released in the US earlier this week. But speaking to Business Insider the boss of the company that helped make the game says the release has been \"paused\". The mobile title has been so popular in the places where it's already playable that the servers that make it work have been crashing. The official Twitter page for the game has been asking fans to be patient. John Hanke, boss of Niantic, says because of these issues they've decided to push the pause button on releasing the game in other countries until they're comfortable. It came out in the US on 7 July after being initially released in Australia and New Zealand. The news was confirmed on the Pokemon Go Twitter page. Pokemon Go allows players to catch Bulbasaur, Charmeleon or even Pikachu in their back gardens. You play by walking around the real world catching virtual monsters in your location on your phone. Fans have been venting their frustrations that the game isn't available in the UK yet. Lots of fans that is. We really mean lots of fans. Some people in the UK with have managed to figure out a way to play by changing the settings on their phones. But that method of getting hold of the game early has not been publically endorsed by creators Niantic and Nintendo. John Hanke says: \"We thought the game would be popular but it obviously struck a nerve.\" He doesn't give any details on just how long fans in the UK will have to wait until the game is finally released in the UK.

He is hoping the October sun, and the charter flights that come with it, will bring in more customers to his seafood restaurant Betty's Place, on the banks of the Sal river in south Goa. This year, he is also hoping his favourite customers - the British holidaymakers - will return to the state. \"The British are adventurous. They go out every day, and want to try different activities. They were the main takers for our day-long dolphin, birdwatching and backwater cruises,\" says Mr Barreto. He remembers a time when the winter sunseekers from the UK were the largest group of foreign visitors to Goa. That was, of course, before recession hit Europe, the holiday market graph went south and Mr Barreto's business took a direct hit. The highpoint was the 1990s when some 190,000 Britons headed to Goa for 14-night seaside getaways before security issues post-9/11 threw the global travel sector out of whack. By 2014 though, Russian tour operators had managed to sell Goa holidays to 189,000 Russians, outnumbering the 129,000 British arrivals - both still the largest chunk of Goa's 513,000 foreign visitors, according to the Economic Survey of Goa. This year, though, Goa is waking up to the fact that the Russian market has also almost gone bust. Sanctions, low oil prices and the falling rouble have hit the Russian economy. As a result, charter flights have dropped to 895 in 2014-15 from 1,128 in 2013-14. Goa's tourism trade body (TTAG) and a state-level marketing committee went into a huddle and decided to step up efforts to bring back British and West European travellers. The issue figured in the state legislative assembly in August, when a legislator from the governing Bharatiya Janata Party, Michael Lobo, said Britons were avoiding Goa due to rising incidents of bag snatching, the murder of British teenager Scarlett Keeling and Goa's inability to solve its garbage management problems. Another reason behind the drastic drop in visitors was India tightening its visa regime in 2008 after the Mumbai attacks. Single-entry visas replaced multiple-entry ones and long visa queues became the norm. Those exiting the country could only return after two months - now reduced to two weeks - and tourist visa holders still have to leave the country after 180 days. The TTAG concentrated on fixing the things it could. It lobbied the government in Delhi to extend e-visa and visa-on-arrival facilities to visitors from the UK, Scandinavia, and Western Europe. It petitioned the authorities to reduce visa fees for British visitors to £40 ($62) for a one-month tourist visa from £105 ($163), sidestepping the reciprocity principle that normally underpins visa fees. TTAG also pushed for a rollback of proposed increases in aircraft landing fees and managed to secure three extra landing slots per week for Thomas Cook aircraft bringing British tourists from Gatwick, according to spokesman Ralph de Souza. \"It was only after we did an in-depth study and presented the economic spin-offs to the ministry, were we able to have the system eased,\" he said. Former construction professional Robert Drury, 62, who, since 2007, has been spending most of his year in Goa's Arpora, says the two-month rule has been particularly expensive. \"Now we just go back to the UK or maybe Thailand for two weeks after our 180 days are up. I don't think there's any place else I'd rather be. The cost of living is cheap, the sunny weather is perfect for my health, and there's a terrific selection of restaurants my wife and I can frequent.\" A former risk manager in London and Nigeria, Paul Gatward says that though Sri Lanka and Malaysia are also wooing long-term visitors, and Thailand and Vietnam may be marginally cheaper, \"Goa is perceived as a far easier place to come and spend time. English is widely spoken, it is peaceful, touristy, coastal, and the locals can be very helpful\". But the big question is whether Goa will be able to woo back the two-week holidaymaker who once headed there for a quiet soak in the sun. Britain's Monarch Holidays is already marketing the reduced visa fees. Guitry Velho, manager of the Heritage Village Club hotel in south Goa's Arrosim, is upbeat. \"We have always had a majority of British tourists. They appreciate us and what we provide for them, and tend to stay for a minimum of 14 nights just enjoying South Goa.\" Hotelier and TTAG head Francisco de Braganca said: \"The feedback is that they are the most preferred guests, the kind every hotelier and restaurant owner is most comfortable with.\"",

Given successive Conservative governments have been instinctively reluctant to intervene in the private sector, preferring to let free-market capitalism take its course, why now is it determined to secure a right to do something it almost never does? One former Remain-voting cabinet minister told the BBC: \"There is no point going through the pain and disruption of Brexit if you are not able to spend money on what you want afterwards. I understand why they are taking this line.\" So what does the government want to spend money on? Surely it can't be to prop up struggling primary industries like steel so we can dump cheap subsidised commodities on EU markets - the traditional feared outcome of anti-competitive state intervention. Rohan Silva, a former adviser to David Cameron and entrepreneur, says it's in new industries, not old, that state aid is really powerful. In 2010, he says, the Conservative government was keen to foster investment in the companies of the future by offering generous government incentives, but found itself constrained by EU state aid rules. \"We couldn't support companies as they grew as much as we wanted for as long as we wanted. If you are going to leave the EU, you should make the most of it,\" he says. To some ears, this sounds suspiciously like politicians picking winners, something Conservative governments are historically suspicious of. Another former minister, David Gauke, told the Today programme: \"When I was at the Treasury, most of us questioned the value for money you get when you allow politicians an enormous amount of discretion on which companies and sectors to support. \"There is plenty you can do to create the right environment for investment without going down that route.\" Home-grown technology As Prof Dieter Helm has said in the past: \"Governments aren't good at picking winners, but losers are good at picking governments.\" However, the evidence from the US and China is compelling. The US is hardly a stranger to free-market capitalism, but the government is not shy about giving emerging technologies a leg up. The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (Darpa) is a research and development agency of the US Department of Defense credited with inventing the mouse, GPS and, er, the internet. The Small Business Administration's stated aim is \"to maintain and strengthen the nation's economy by enabling the establishment and viability of small businesses\". It has an office in every state and spends nearly $1bn a year backing small firms. EU state aid rules do not allow you to give money to save failing companies - this is defined as companies that made recurrent losses in recent years. Almost every single start-up in the world makes losses in the early years: it took Amazon over a decade to make a profit. Free of the EU's shackles, the UK government could foster home-grown technology giants. That's the plan, according to those close to Dominic Cummings. But is it worth scuppering a trade deal with the UK's closest and biggest trading partner? As Prof Brian Cox tweeted this morning: \"The UK can't grow a tech company to rival Apple and Google through state aid, surely? Apple is worth as much as the entire FTSE 100. Are we really going to gamble away our (excellent) existing industries because Dom has a crazy dream?\" Or as former MP David Gauke told the BBC's Today programme: \"It's an extraordinary punt: giving up good access to the European market in the hope that we have ministers and officials who are really good at identifying new tech opportunities.\" Given that the government's own analysis estimates that a no-deal Brexit will mean the UK economy will be up to 9% smaller in 15 years than it would have been otherwise, it's a gamble with hundreds of billions at stake.",

They suggest that companies should be fined if they falsely classify workers and deny them benefits. A spokeswoman said the government recognised the \"labour market is not working for everyone\". She said that was why the government had commissioned Matthew Taylor, chief executive of the Royal Society of the Arts, to review employment practices. The Work and Pensions Committee and the Business Select Committee have drawn up a draft bill which would assume \"worker by default\", to make firms pay holiday and sick pay. Frank Field, the Labour chairman of the Work and Pensions Committee, said the draft bill would \"end the mass exploitation of ordinary, hard-working people in the gig economy\". \"It is time to close the loopholes that allow irresponsible companies to underpay workers, avoid taxes and free ride on our welfare system,\" he said. The committees said that fines levied against firms would make sure that \"the risks of being caught outweigh the gains companies stand to make from illegal practices\". Mr Taylor's report, published in July, called for reform of the law so that gig workers are reclassified as dependent contractors who could then maintain flexibility whilst receiving statutory benefits. \"We are considering his report carefully and will respond in due course,\" a government spokeswoman said. Gig economy businesses like Uber and Deliveroo insist their workers are self-employed, although Uber has lost several legal cases on the issue. \"Self-employed\" workers who log on to the gig-business technology platform to find work do not automatically receive statutory benefits. The firms say gig workers value the flexibility such \"on-demand\" working provides. What is the gig economy? In the gig economy, instead of a regular wage, workers get paid for the \"gigs\" they do, such as a food delivery or a car journey. In the UK, it is estimated that one million people are employed in this type of capacity. Jobs include couriers, ride-hailing drivers and video producers. Workers in the gig economy are classed as independent contractors. That means they have no protection against unfair dismissal, no right to redundancy payments, and no right to receive the national minimum wage, paid holiday or sickness pay. Rachel Reeves, the Labour chairwoman of the Business Select Committee, said that workers rights should not be sacrificed for flexibility. \"Uber, Deliveroo and others like to bang the drum for the benefits of flexibility for their workforce but currently all the burden of this flexibility is picked up by taxpayers and workers,\" she said, referring to the fact that gig firms do not have to pay the same rates of tax as businesses which employ staff on full-time or part-time contracts. \"This must change. We say that companies should pay higher wages when they are asking people to work extra hours or on zero-hours contracts. \"Recent cases demonstrate a need for greater clarity in the law to protect workers.\" Ms Reeves also said that employment tribunals should consider higher fines for any firm found to have breached the law. Companies like Deliveroo, which recently won a case on the self-employed status of its riders before the Central Arbitration Committee, said that the law on self-employment prevented them offering statutory rights. \"Deliveroo riders are self-employed for one reason only, it allows them to work flexibly, which riders tell us is exactly what they want,\" a spokesman said. \"Riders make on average £9.50 an hour with Deliveroo, well above the National Living Wage. \"Alongside this flexibility and good pay, we want to offer riders more security - such as injury pay and sick pay. At the moment the law prevents us from doing so. Mr Taylor has urged the government to act. \"The government should note that there is now cross party support for legislation in key areas like extra pay for non-guaranteed hours, a day one statement of rights and conditions and making it much easier for all workers to have independent representation,\" he told me.",

            "input": "A debate which has been heating up for years has reached boiling point. Many in Africa, and elsewhere, say the time has come for the return of cultural treasures looted during colonialism. The Benin Bronzes - thousands of brass, bronze and ivory sculptures and carvings - have become highly charged symbols of injustice. They are originally from what is now Edo State, in southern Nigeria. Stolen by British soldiers and sailors in 1897, most are in Western museums and private collections. The British Museum, which has some 950 Benin Bronzes, has come under particular criticism for its refusal to give them back, but is only one of many museums struggling to justify the legitimacy of its collection. The Edo kings - the obas- campaigned for decades in vain for the Benin Bronzes to be returned. But few in the West took seriously African demands for restitution. Western curators argued that Africa lacked the resources to look after its treasures, but also that Western museums had no moral obligation to repair any damage inflicted during decades of colonialism. That has now changed, and behind the scenes, things have been moving. Since 2017, the Benin Dialogue Group, which brings together the current oba, the Edo state governor, the Nigerian government and museums in Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden and the UK (including the British Museum) - has been working on a compromise plan for some Benin Bronzes to return to Nigeria. They have agreed that Benin City, the capital of Edo state, will host a new Benin Royal Museum. European museums will take turns to lend (although some may donate) a few hundred Benin Bronzes. The effect, says the Oba's Palace, will be a \"permanent collection in rotation\" in Benin City. At long last, the Edo people will be reunited with a significant part of their cultural patrimony. You may also be interested in: Governor Godwin Obaseki has been instrumental in the negotiations. He hired the Anglo-Ghanaian architect, Sir David Adjaye, designer of the acclaimed National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington DC. Sir David's profile and vision - he wants the new museum to be \"the jewel in the ring\" of a wider cultural reinvigoration of Benin City - has impressed European curators. Phillip Iheanacho, an old friend to both Mr Obaseki and Sir David, is in charge of fundraising. He too has wooed the Europeans. It seems the stars have aligned. A committed Nigerian governor has attracted a famous architect and credible fundraiser, and the Europeans are onboard. Both sides back the museum All of which begs the question; what happens if Mr Obaseki, who is seeking another four-year term in state elections on 19 September, loses to his main challenger Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu? \"If Godwin is not re-elected, it would be very difficult indeed to continue with a project like this,\" Phillip Iheanacho told me. And with Mr Obaseki and Mr Iheanacho gone, it's hard to imagine Sir David hanging around. Of course, none of the European museums would presume to know who would make the best governor of Edo state, let alone tell people there whom to vote for. But, privately, they are worried about the prospect of restarting negotiations with a different governor. The director of one museum in the Benin Dialogue Group told me: \"It's been an Obaseki project - he's been a great partner. If it's somebody else, it's concerning, we could lose momentum.\" Another key curator said: \"This project requires money, capacity and bringing it together is complex. If the governor changes it will slow everything down enormously.\" I asked Mr Obaseki's opponent, Pastor Ize-Iyamu, what would happen to the Royal Museum if he became governor. He said the museum was a \"welcome development\". \"We intend to partner with the oba to establish a befitting museum that will showcase the rich cultural heritage of our people.\" It's true that even before the Covid-19 pandemic the Royal Museum project was running behind schedule. And whoever is governor, the Oba, Ewuare II - great-great-grandson of the king deposed by the British - will remain committed to it, and the principle that the Benin Bronzes should come home. But it is also true that Nigeria's cities are littered with white elephants, prestige projects started by an incumbent politician which did not attract sufficient interest from their successor. The JK Randle Centre in Lagos is a huge and delayed cultural project that was the passion of a previous governor. The British Museum agreed to lend it several items. But its future is in the balance; officially due to open in mid-2021, I'm told the project is now looking precarious. Artefacts 'now an embarrassment' So what does all this say about the restitution cause? There are many, in Nigeria and beyond, who see this as a matter of principle. The Benin Bronzes were stolen. It is offensive, they say, to make their return conditional on the construction of a museum, or the machinations of Nigerian politics, just as it is offensive to talk about loans, not permanent returns. But there is another way of looking at it. The European museums, I believe, are desperate to fend off the withering criticism of recent years. They need the Royal Museum to succeed. A Nigerian negotiator told me how some Europeans within the Benin Dialogue Group feel their Benin Bronzes \"have become an embarrassment\". \"Quite frankly, if Obaseki set up a shed at the back of his house, they'd hand them over to him. Just to be rid of them.\" In other words, the power dynamic has shifted. The opening of a museum in Benin City, full of magnificent Benin Bronzes returned from Europe, would be one of the most significant moments in African cultural history since independence. Tantalisingly, it is within touching distance. But it is the actions of Nigerian politicians which will determine whether it happens. And that, in itself, reflects how the world has changed.

Claire was placed in \"seclusion and long-term segregation\" and her parents were told they could not contact her for several weeks. \"She told us that she had no furniture in the room, that her mattress was brought in at night for her to sleep on and then taken back out,\" Mr Greaves said after a phone call in January 2018. \"She also mentioned that there had been poor support for her hygiene whilst she was in there.\" They were trying to get her moved to a hospital nearer home when she died. An inquest jury reached an \"open\" conclusion, and did not decide it was suicide. Claire had been assessed as being at high risk of self-harm or suicide between 17:00 and 18:00 each day. But she was able to obtain a piece of fabric left on the floor outside her room and used it to kill herself alone in her room. The inquest jury found: Mr Greaves said he felt \"numb\" when he heard the conclusions, adding: \"It seems unbelievable that can happen, they can miss ward rounds, that they can make changes without doing the proper risk assessments, that they cannot follow care plans. \"The failings were quite shocking.\" He said he believed the move would help his daughter but the fact it did not meant he now felt guilt as well as loss. The Care Quality Commission (CQC) had already raised concerns about Cygnet before Claire's death. It found recruitment and retention of staff was difficult with a high turnover which led to a shortfall in training and supervision levels. This lack of consistency led to some patients feeling unsafe on the wards, the CQC said. Another CQC inspection published five months after Claire's death found staffing was still a problem, with 61% of employees not comfortable with their daily workload. In its own investigation into Claire's death, Cygnet concluded the \"root cause\" was Claire's ability to \"access material from another service user at a point when this was not seen by staff and was then able to ligate with it\". The report also stated days before Claire's death there was a reduction in her \"observation levels\", with the reason \"unclear\". Her parents said they have not received an apology, or any communication from Cygnet, since the inquest. 'Deeply saddened' The company said: \"We were deeply saddened by Claire's death in February 2018 and we continue to extend our sincere sympathies to her family. \"Cygnet co-operated fully with the investigation into the circumstances surrounding the death of Claire and we noted the recommendations made during the inquest. \"We have already implemented a number of measures to address the key learnings from this and we will ensure that we comply fully with all of the recommendations made.\" A spokesman for Aneurin Bevan University Health Board also offered condolences to the family. \"We have undertaken a full review of the board's role in commissioning Ms Greaves' placement at Cygnet Hospital and are currently implementing a number of recommendations to review placements for individuals with complex needs,\" he added.

            "input": "By Jon KellyBBC News Magazine, Washington DC The bubbling kettle, the aroma from the mug, the first bitter mouthful of the morning. It's a ritual without which the working day would be, for millions of people, frankly horrifying. Caffeine is, according to New Scientist, the planet's most popular \"psychoactive drug\". In the United States alone, more than 90% of adults are estimated to use it every day. But now even the US - home of Coca-Cola, Starbucks and the 5-Hour Energy shot - is questioning the wisdom of adding it to everyday foodstuffs like waffles, sunflower seeds, trail mix and jelly beans. In a statement, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) highlighted the \"unfortunate example\" of Wrigley chewing gum producing packs of eight sticks which each contained as much caffeine as half a cup of coffee. Subsequently, Wrigley said it would \"pause\" production of the product. The agency is also looking at highly-caffeinated energy drinks, and said it was concerned about the \"cumulative impact\" of adding stimulants to products. According to the US Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, the number of people seeking emergency treatment after ingesting energy drinks doubled to more than 20,000 in 2011. However, the energy drink industry says its products are safe and insists there is no proof of a link with any harmful reactions. There have been documented cases of fatal overdoses caused by \"caffeine toxicity\", though these are very rare. Scientists at Johns Hopkins University, studying its addictive properties, found that withdrawal symptoms included tiredness, headaches, difficulty concentrating, muscle pain and nausea. But there is far from any kind of scientific consensus that caffeine use is harmful. A recent study by the Harvard School of Public Health suggested that \"coffee drinking doesn't have any serious detrimental health effects\" and that drinking up to six cups a day was \"not associated with increased risk of death from any cause\". In moderation, caffeine may have some positive effects. Research suggests it could be associated with a reduced risk of prostate cancer and breast cancer. A recent study linked drinking coffee and tea with a lower risk of type two diabetes. As a result, the FDA has pledged to \"determine what is a safe level\" of caffeine use. The agency's move has been welcomed by those who fear caffeine is already encroaching too much into our daily lives - often in products where it may not be expected. \"Many people just aren't aware of how much caffeine they are taking,\" says Lynn Goldman, dean of the George Washington University School of Public Health and Health Services. As a result, she says, they could unwittingly create problems for themselves with insomnia, indigestion, or their blood pressure. It's especially worrying for parents, who can find it hard to regulate their children's intake. But challenging the hegemony of caffeine may be a difficult task on a planet that consumes 120,000 tonnes of the substance per annum. In Finland, the world's most caffeinated country, the average adult consumes 400mg of the drug every day - equivalent to four or five cups of coffee a day, and equal to the maximum daily limit recommended by the UK Food Standards Agency. \"We think that, when used in moderation, caffeine doesn't pose a risk,\" says Sanna Kiuru, a senior officer at Evira, the Finnish food safety authority. \"It's mainly adults who drink coffee, not children. For us the levels are quite moderate.\" Even buzz-loving Finns have been troubled by the rise of stealth stimulants, however. \"We have been concerned about the rise in caffeine in different foods,\" says Kiuru. Highly-caffeinated energy drinks in Finland are obliged to carry warning labels - a practice that will be extended across the EU from 2014. For most caffeine consumers, its chief benefit is that, by stimulating alertness, it helps you get more done. This is a trait that makes it unusual among recreational substances, says Stephen Braun, author of Buzz: The Science and Lore of Alcohol and Caffeine. \"Its appeal is that it helps us earn more money,\" he adds. \"What makes it different from other drugs is that it's used as a productivity tool - not for pleasure, like cannabis, or as a relaxant, like alcohol.\" Perhaps the closest analogy is with coca leaves, chewed by labourers to give them extra energy in countries like Peru and Bolivia. It's no coincidence, Braun believes, that caffeine's popularity boomed in Europe at the dawn of the industrial revolution, when the race for ever-increased productivity accelerated. Many of history's creative minds have also been associated with some truly epic feats of caffeine consumption. According to one biographer, the French novelist and playwright Balzac drank as many as 50 cups of coffee a day. \"Were it not for coffee one could not write, which is to say one could not live,\" he once insisted. For seven years, the film-maker David Lynch ate at the same Los Angeles diner every day, drinking up to seven sweetened cups of coffee \"with lots of sugar\" in one sitting, which he said would guarantee that \"lots of ideas\" arrived. Ludwig van Beethoven was said to have painstakingly counted out exactly 60 coffee beans per cup when he brewed coffee. Perhaps the most well-publicised recent tales of caffeine excess featured the somewhat less critically revered singer Robbie Williams, who reportedly consumed 36 double espressos and 20 cans of Red Bull a day. It is the routine task itself, as much as the stimulant properties of caffeine, that makes the process so significant, Mason Currey, author of Daily Rituals: How Artists Work. \"A lot of artists use the process of making the coffee as a gateway to the creative process,\" he adds. \"You need to get into the right mindset to do that sort of work, and the preparation ritual provides a focus.\" But attempts to clamp down on the spread of the substance have historically proved futile. In 1911, the US government sued the Coca-Cola Company, on the basis that the caffeine in its drink was \"injurious to health\", but Coca-Cola prevailed in the courts. One problem with attempting to regulate the substance, says Braun, is that it affects everyone in differently - people's varying physiologies and metabolisms making it impossible to prescribe a \"safe\" limit that works for everyone. \"Ultimately, you have to become your own scientist - there isn't an alternative to careful self-experimentation,\" he says. Most people are likely to have ascertained by adulthood how much, or little, tea or coffee they can tolerate at a time. But critics say this doesn't apply to energy drinks and caffeinated foodstuffs, whose effects are arguably more difficult to judge. However profitable these products may prove for their manufacturers though, Currey suspects they well never acquire the mystique of coffee and tea. \"There's something that's not quite as special and evocative about them,\" he says. \"Buying an 5-Hour Energy drink from the 7-Eleven [convenience store] doesn't have the ambience of brewing a cup of coffee. I can't imagine future biographers of great artists and writers describing this stuff in the same way.\" Additional reporting by Mark Bosworth in Helsinki You can follow the Magazine on Twitter and on Facebook",

The merger with Arla Foods amba, which is owned by Danish, Swedish and German farmers, would create the largest operator in the UK dairy market. Milk Link said the proposals would not affect jobs at its Denbighshire creamery. The firm bought the plant in Llandyrnog in June 2009 after the co-operative Dairy Farmers of Britain (DFOB) went into receivership. Cheddar cheese has been made there since the 1920s. The Milk Link co-operative, which has 1,600 dairy farmer members around Britain, also has a packing plant on the Wales border at Oswestry, Shropshire. Neil Kennedy, Milk Link's chief executive, said the merger would create a strong platform for a sustainable future for its members. \"Milk Link's 1,600 British dairy farmer members will have a stake in one of Europe's largest and most successful dairy businesses and play a positive role in its future development,\" he added. Arla Foods amba does not process cheese, so joining forces with Milk Link is seen as a \"complimentary merger\". The new group would process more than 3bn litres of milk a year, about a quarter of UK production, and would have combined sales of more than £2bn. 'Attractive partner' The proposal will be subject to approval by Milk Link's members, Arla Foods amba's board and relevant regulatory authorities. Arla is responsible for some of the UK's most popular dairy brands including Cravendale, Lurpak and Anchor. Its chief executive in the UK Peter Lauritzen said: \"The enlarged business will be focused on delivering a sustainable future for our farmer owners. \"Arla has a strong record of investing in facilities and brands in the UK. Together we will be able to offer British retail and food service customers with a full range of high quality dairy products from a single, secure, source, making us an even more attractive partner for British retailers.\" Dei Davies, chairman of the Milk and Dairy Produce Committee with the Farmers' Union of Wales, told BBC Wales: \"It's excellent news, we needed something like this to move the market forward. \"Arla, with the merger with Milk Link, have promised that British farmers that are with Milk Link will get the same milk price as their Danish farmers and that averages roughly 2p higher than the level we're at at the moment. \"We will be in a good position. \"We will be a part of the Arla company and any profits they make go straight back into the milk price, it doesn't get siphoned off into shares or dividends.\"",

            "input": "By Hannah Richardson and Katherine Sellgren BBC News education reporters Final year primary pupils sat a raft of tough new tests in the summer. Only 53% of pupils passed, compared to the 80% who passed easier tests in 2015. Primary heads leader Russell Hobby said ministers had stressed the scale of the changes meant comparisons could not be drawn on previous years' results. The government said schools had responded well to the higher demands. Pupils at 14,930 state primary schools sat the new national Sats tests in reading, writing and maths - the \"Three-Rs\"; they also sat a spelling and grammar test. Schools are then ranked by these results to enable parents to narrow down the choice of schools for their children. English primary school tables In the run up to and during the tests, teachers and heads across England complained that the new papers had been set at too high a level and that not enough information had been made available. The government's expectation is that 65% of pupils in each school should meet the new expected standard in the \"Three Rs\". In total, about 11,000 schools failed to meet this target. However, the Department for Education (DfE) said schools that achieved sufficient progress scores in reading, writing and maths would not be considered to be failing. It had deliberately held steady the percentage of schools deemed to be failing at 5% - the same as last year - so that the volatility of this year's results did not lead schools that were otherwise successful to be targeted for intervention. Conversely, just 47 schools saw all pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths. General secretary of the National Association of Head Teachers, Mr Hobby, said: \"The pass mark for the test was set at a ridiculously high level. \"We have just failed half the children in the country and yet Ofsted is saying nearly 90% of schools are good or outstanding. \"Pupils were doing what they should have been doing in the early years of secondary school. Some of the grammatical stuff was the same level as GCSE English.\" He added: \"This data is not worth the paper it is written on. The government itself has said that it cannot be used to trigger interventions in schools. \"This year we saw the Sats system descend into chaos and confusion. \"Delayed and obscure guidance, papers leaked online, mistakes in test papers and inconsistent moderation made this year unmanageable for school leaders, teachers, parents and pupils.\" But School Standards Minister Nick Gibb said the introduction of a new curriculum had raised expectations and ensured \"pupils become more accomplished readers and are fluent in the basics of arithmetic, including times-tables, long division and fractions\". \"Many schools have responded well to this more rigorous curriculum, supporting their pupils to be leaving primary school better prepared for the demands of secondary school,\" he said. Last year, when four-fifths of school pupils reached the expected level, then known as Level 4C, ministers praised schools for \"rising to the challenge of raised standards and expectations for all pupils\". Boys v girls Julie McCulloch, primary specialist at the Association of School and College Leaders, said schools had \"performed miracles\" in very difficult circumstances and deserved great credit. \"The tests are based on a new, much harder curriculum, which the children had followed for only two years, and the expected standard has been significantly raised. \"In addition, the government's introduction of these tests has been chaotic.\" The data shows a continuing gender gap, with 57% of girls reaching the expected level in reading, writing and maths compared with 50% of boys. And the most disadvantaged children fared far worse in these new tests, compared to their non-disadvantaged peers, than they did in the previous test with just 39% achieving the standard. The government data also reveals regional differences, with London performing very strongly.

The $740bn (£549bn) bill will fund defence policy for the year to come. Mr Trump, who leaves office in a few weeks, objected to certain provisions in the bill. The Senate voted 81-13 for the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) - a two-thirds majority is required to override a presidential veto in both chambers. It comes just two days before a new US Congress is due to be sworn in. Mr Trump had taken issue with policies that limit troop withdrawals from Afghanistan and Europe and remove Confederate leaders' names from military bases. He also wanted the bill to repeal a liability shield for social media companies. Before the debate began, Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell said he was determined to pass the bill. \"Here's what the Senate is focused on - completing the annual defence legislation that looks after our brave men and women who volunteer to wear the uniform. \"We've passed this legislation 59 years in a row. And one way or another, we're going to complete the 60th annual NDAA and pass it into law before this Congress concludes on Sunday,\" he added. Later Mr Trump responded to the vote specifically on the issue of liability protection. \"Our Republican Senate just missed the opportunity to get rid of Section 230, which gives unlimited power to Big Tech companies. Pathetic!!!\" he said on Twitter. Why did Congress have to make this move? Bills passed by Congress need a president's signature to become law. On rare occasions, a president may choose to veto - or reject - legislation because of some policy disagreement. Lawmakers can override a presidential veto and enact bills into law by mustering two-thirds of votes in both chambers of Congress. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, the most powerful congressional Democrat, said Mr Trump's veto was \"an act of staggering recklessness that harms our troops, endangers our security and undermines the will of the bipartisan Congress\". \"In a time when our country was just targeted with a massive cyber-attack, it is particularly hard to understand the reasoning behind the president's irresponsibility,\" she said in a statement. Ahead of Wednesday's veto, some of the outgoing president's advisers had cautioned him against rejecting the bill. Mr Trump has previously vetoed eight bills, vetoes which were all upheld with support from his fellow Republicans in Congress. He is due to leave office on 20 January, when he will be replaced by Democrat Joe Biden. What were Mr Trump's objections? Mr Trump called the 4,500-page act, which has been nearly a year in the making, a \"gift to China and Russia\". \"Unfortunately, the Act fails to include critical national security measures, includes provisions that fail to respect our veterans and our military's history, and contradicts efforts by my administration to put America first in our national security and foreign policy actions,\" he said in a statement. Mr Trump also said the bill's measures to limit bringing troops home was \"bad policy\" and \"unconstitutional\".",

            "input": "\"Choices have consequences\" - that warning to Kenyans, issued by US Assistant Secretary of State Jonnie Carson almost a month before the presidential election won by Uhuru Kenyatta, played on the minds of many voters as they cast their ballots on 4 March. When in early February, during a briefing to journalists, Mr Carson was pushed to explain America's position regarding the candidacy of two politicians who are charged with crimes against humanity at the International Criminal Court, he had a simple answer: \"We live in an interconnected world,\" Mr Carson said, \"and people should be thoughtful about the impact that their choices have on their nation, on the region, on the economy, on the society and on the world in which they live. Choices have consequences.\" Alone in the polling booth, more than six million Kenyans said to themselves: \"I'm an African and a Kenyan, I don't need anyone out there telling me who or what to vote for.\" As a consequence - they now have President-elect Kenyatta and his deputy, William Ruto, who will divide their time between running Kenya and fighting their cases at The Hague. Some are calling it government by Skype. 'Family affair' Kenyans also have a new form of decentralised government, the product of a progressive constitution they approved in 2010, that seeks to redistribute power and wealth from Nairobi and the presidency, to 47 counties, each led by a governor and local assembly. That same constitution also introduces 47 new seats for women in parliament in an attempt create better gender equality. A bigger voice for women will certainly change the tone of debate in parliament, which in the past tended to echo the contents of the MPs honourable wallets, as they awarded themselves hefty pay increases. Despite these major changes in governance, any Kenyan who went to sleep soon after independence 50 years ago, and woke up last weekend will be forgiven for quickly telling themselves: \"I haven't missed much - Kenyatta is still fighting Odinga!\" Just like the early 1960s when President Jomo Kenyatta's main rival was Oginga Odinga; his son Uhuru Kenyatta's main challenger for power was Mr Oginga's son, Raila Odinga. Indeed, the more things change in Kenya, the more they remain the same. Former President Daniel arap Moi's shadow is also back in parliament and the new upper chamber, the Senate, in the form of his two sons, Alexander and Raymond Moi. Like father like son, like brother like brother, like brother like sister. The new Kenyan leadership is certainly a family affair, with another four sets of siblings elected into office. But this was also an election with a difference. A presidential debate was held for the first time ever - not once but three times. With more than 80% of registered voters heading to the polling stations, it was the highest turnout in Kenya's history. And although the final results took six days to be released, not a machete was lifted in anger - this was Kenyans at their most patient. By turning up in such large numbers, Kenyans were re-establishing their faith in the democratic process. And with Mr Odinga pledging to accept the ruling of the Supreme Court which will hear his case alleging that Mr Kenyatta's victory was rigged, he and the rest of Kenya was expressing confidence in the judiciary. This too was an election about dreams and possibilities. 'Digital leaders' That an unknown high school teacher from a minority community could run for presidency and beat seasoned politicians was unheard of. Never mind that Mohamed Abduba Dida, was the source of comic relief in the presidential election campaign with such profound utterances like \"you should only eat when you're hungry\". It was also an election fought and followed on social media. Twitter was ablaze with running commentary on the campaign, the polling, the results and the waiting. It featured the serious and light-hearted. One presidential candidate who won the lowest number of votes was advised by tweeters not to bother taking up public space to concede defeat, but just spend a few minutes ringing each of the handful of people who voted for him and thank them personally. The Kenyan media itself was a big winner in the election. Compared to 2007 when the media was accused of fanning the post-election violence, this time round every single media house went all out with robust and consistent messages of peace. So what awaits the new president when he finally takes the keys to State House once the Supreme Court has made its ruling on the pending petition? Most people voted not for \"policies that speak to me\" but for \"personalities that speak like me\". Deep and genuine social healing and building of bridges will be a top priority. President-elect Uhuru Kenyatta acknowledged the urgency of the matter in his victory speech when he paid tribute to several police officers killed on the eve of the election. Without security, meaningful development will be difficult. The president's tenure is unlikely to be secure if Kenyans remain insecure. Kenyans will watch keenly how his government will address historical injustices regarding land that have left thousands displaced and forced Kenyans to jump on each other's throats disrupting lives and livelihoods. Throughout the campaign, the Jubilee coalition led by Mr Kenyatta and Mr Ruto sold itself as a digital or modern, youthful party, compared to their rivals who were said to be stuck in the old analogue era. By choosing to position themselves as \"digital\" leaders, the two will have now have to live with the consequences of the meaning of \"digital\". As a broadcaster, I understand digital to mean bigger capacity, greater variety and flexibility; and also better quality - in this case of leadership and service delivery. Kenyans are looking up to the new leadership with great hopes for better healthcare, jobs, improved agriculture and a faster pace of economic development. The people are waiting to see what choice will preoccupy the president and his deputy - Kenya's development or the ICC process. With the ICC prosecutors now saying they have new evidence against Mr Kenyatta and that his prosecution should continue, choices, indeed, might have consequences.

The Charity Commission said the alleged behaviour had \"absolutely no place in society\" and charities needed to be held to the highest of standards. It has written to Oxfam seeking more information, including a timeline of events, information about when the charity was made aware of specific allegations and the detail of the investigation's findings and conclusions. The aid workers were in Haiti as part of the relief effort following the devastating magnitude 7.0 earthquake that killed more than 200,000 people there in 2010. The country's ambassador in London, Bocchit Edmond, has criticised the charity for failing to inform the Haitian authorities about what happened and said it should publicly apologise. \"It is really shocking, it is shameful, and it is unacceptable,\" he said. \"I think Oxfam should look into itself deeply if they want to rebuild that trust they had.\" The three workers who resigned included Oxfam's country director for Haiti, Roland Van Hauwermeiren, who according to the Times, used prostitutes at a villa rented for him by the charity. The paper also reports the charity failed to alert other aid agencies about the staff members' behaviour, with Mr Van Hauwermeiren going on to work elsewhere in the sector. Oxfam says it would not have given a positive reference for any of those who were dismissed or resigned.

DfID will now be under pressure to ensure there is zero tolerance of sexual misconduct within agencies that receive government aid funds. It is unclear to what extent DfID may have been made aware of the Oxfam incident back in 2011. Similar cases involving UN peacekeeping soldiers were brought to the attention of the then International Development Secretary Andrew Mitchell. The UK currently spends £13bn on aid each year and there have long been calls from some Conservative MPs for cuts to this budget. But Theresa May says she is \"proud\" of the UK's record on foreign aid and remains committed to the UK's requirement to spend 0.7% of the country's gross national income on overseas assistance. Labour, the Liberal Democrats, SNP, Greens and Plaid Cymru also agree that figure should remain. Earlier, chief executive Mark Goldring told BBC Radio 4's Today programme Oxfam had done \"anything but\" cover the incident up. He said: \"We were very open with the public that we were ashamed of the behaviour of our staff. We still are.\" However, he admitted a report released by the charity at the time did not give full details of the allegations. He said: \"With hindsight, I would much prefer that we had talked about sexual misconduct. \"But I don't think it was in anyone's best interest to be describing the details of the behaviour in a way that was actually going to draw extreme attention to it when what we wanted to do was get on and deliver an aid programme.\" He added: \"I am absolutely committed… to wipe out that kind of behaviour from Oxfam and rebuild that relationship of trust [with the public].\" 'Lack of judgement' The Department for International Development, which gave Oxfam nearly £32m last year, is now reviewing whether to continue funding the charity. Its spokesman said the way the matter had been handled by Oxfam's senior team showed a \"lack of judgement\". International Development Secretary Penny Mordaunt had requested a meeting with Oxfam's senior team \"at the earliest opportunity\", he added. Andrew Mitchell, who was international development secretary in 2011, told BBC's Newsnight it was a \"shudderingly awful tale\" that was \"terrible on every single level\" but that he could not recall being told about it at the time. Dame Barbara Stocking, who was the head of Oxfam in 2011, told the BBC new whistle-blowing procedures, safeguarding practises and training had been put in place following the revelations.",

'No water supply' In a press release, Victoria police's acting senior sergeant Sharon Darcy made her force's concerns clear. \"Tests on the mapping system by police confirm the mapping systems lists Mildura in the middle of the Murray Sunset National Park, approximately 70km [45 miles] away from the actual location of Mildura,\" she said. \"Police are extremely concerned as there is no water supply within the park and temperatures can reach as high as 46[C], making this a potentially life-threatening issue.\" The force advised travellers to use an alternative mapping service until the issues had been fixed. In September, Apple dropped Google Maps from its iOS software in favour of its own mapping program. However, users were quick to complain it contained many inaccuracies, poor imagery and unreliable directions. The company defended the software at first, telling users it was \"confident about our map quality\". However, Apple soon backtracked, posting an apology notice on its website. \"We are extremely sorry for the frustration this has caused our customers and we are doing everything we can to make Maps better,\" said Mr Cook.

They are calling for protection to be focused on the vulnerable, while healthy people get on with their lives. The declaration has prompted warnings by others in the scientific community. Critics have pointed out: But the movement - known as the Great Barrington Declaration - mirrors some of the warnings in a letter signed by a group of GPs in the UK. Sixty-six GPs, including TV doctors Dr Phil Hammond and Dr Rosemary Leonard and a number of medics who have held senior roles at the British Medical Association, have written to the health secretary, saying there is insufficient emphasis on \"non-Covid harms\" in the decision-making. What is the Great Barrington Declaration? The movement started in the US. And the declaration has now been signed by nearly 6,000 scientists and medical experts across the globe as well as 50,000 members of the public. The UK-based experts who have signed it include: They say keeping the lockdown policies in place until a vaccine is available would cause \"irreparable damage, with the underprivileged disproportionately harmed\". The health harms cited include: And they point out the risk from coronavirus is 1,000 times greater for the old and infirm, with children more at risk from flu than Covid-19. As immunity builds in the population, the risk of infection to all - including the vulnerable - falls, they say. And this would be a much more \"compassionate\" approach. The declaration recommends a number of measures to protect the vulnerable, including regular testing of care-home workers, with a move as far as possible towards using staff who have acquired immunity. Retired people living at home should have groceries and other essentials delivered, it says. And when possible, they should meet family members outside rather than inside. Simple hygiene measures, such as hand washing and staying home when sick, should be practised by everyone. But: What do other experts say? While clearly \"well intentioned\", the declaration has profound ethical, logistical and scientific flaws, University of Leeds school of medicine associate professor Dr Stephen Griffin says. The vulnerable come from all walks of life and deserve to be \"treated equally\". And \"long Covid\" is reported to have left even people mild infections with problems such as fatigue and joint pain for months.

Mac computers, which do not use the App Store, are also now affected. Fortnite's updates often make sweeping changes to the game and Thursday's introduces a partnership with Marvel comics superheroes, among other things. Game development Epic Games chief executive Tim Sweeney blamed Apple's plan to pull access to developer tools on 28 August, the day after the new season begins. \"Apple has said they will revoke all of Epic's Apple SDK [software development kit] access for game development on Friday,\" he said. \"If they do that, we won't be able to update Fortnite on Mac.\" Current versions of the Mac operating system try to stop users opening any apps not checked by Apple, using a process called \"notarising\". Apple had attempted to revoke Epic's access to its developer tools for the entire company but was prevented by a court ruling because Epic also makes Unreal Engine, a game development tool used by lots of creators. And removing its compatibility could have hurt companies not involved in the dispute. \"Epic Games and Apple are at liberty to litigate against each other,\" the judge ruled. \"But their dispute should not create havoc to bystanders She did, however, allow Apple to pull those kind of permissions for Epic's own games, such as Fortnite, saying the company had \"strategically chosen to breach its agreements with Apple\". 'Deliberately violated' The row began when Epic issued an update for Fortnite that allowed players to buy the in-game currency, V Bucks, directly from Epic instead of using the Apple payment system. Apple takes a 30% cut from those payments - amounting to millions of dollars from Fortnite. And it is the only payment system allowed on apps available through the official app store. But Apple rejects the accusations it runs any kind of monopoly. It says Epic deliberately violated the guidelines \"that are applied equally to every developer and designed to keep the store safe for our users\".

He urged universities to adopt the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance definition of anti-Semitism. The move comes amid ongoing concern about university free speech. In February the government issued guidance for students and universities, setting out the legal rights and obligations to help protect lawful free speech on campus. Mr Skidmore met Jewish students on Thursday to hear their concerns and experiences of campus anti-Semitism. He said that expecting Jewish groups to fund their own security when they invite speakers on to campus could amount to indirect discrimination. In the letter, he told vice-chancellors: \"There is no place in our society for hatred or any form of harassment and it is frankly appalling that the battle against anti-Semitism still exists. \"Free speech is vital to the independence and innovation that embodies the higher education sector and it must be protected. \"Not only does it fuel academic thought, but it contributes to a collective feeling of tolerance and acceptance in our universities that challenge injustice. \"In this context, it is unacceptable to oblige certain groups of students to incur additional costs because of their race or religion, just to counteract the actions of others.\" Daniel Kosky, campaigns organiser of the Union of Jewish Students, said he was grateful that Mr Skidmore \"has acted on a number of our recommendations, including supporting the removal of prohibitive security costs for Jewish Societies\". He added: \"Jewish students have long called for institutions to adopt the IHRA definition and we now expect universities to follow the government's call, after the recommendation of Universities UK and the Office for Students, among others.\" 'Understanding and tolerance' Last year the Office for Students provided £480,000 for 11 projects tackling religious-based hate crime in higher education. The project at King's College London includes recognising the needs of religious communities within a university, strengthening reporting mechanisms and supporting new facilities, as well as building awareness, understanding and tolerance of different faiths. Karen Pollock, chief executive of the Holocaust Educational Trust, said: \"This crucial work by everyone involved will help tackle anti-Semitism and hopefully contribute to a safer environment on campus for students.\" In a statement, Universities UK said: \"We recommend universities do all they can to tackle anti-Semitism, including considering the IHRA definition, while also recognising their duty to promote freedom of speech within the law. \"UUK has set up a taskforce to consider what can be done to address all forms of harassment, violence and hate crime on campus, including on the basis of religion. \"The taskforce published a comprehensive report Changing the Culture in 2016 which included a strategic framework along with recommendations for the higher education sector to prevent and respond effectively to all forms of harassment. \"Our work in this area is ongoing.\"",

The insurance industry rejected the accusations, calling some of them unhelpful. Add-on insurance is where a policy is sold alongside another product. For example, customers buying a mobile phone, or a holiday, are often offered insurance at the same time. Nearly 3,000 consumers have complained about such policies in the past nine months. The FCA found that a quarter of customers buying them were unaware that they could get similar products elsewhere. And more than half of such customers did not compare the different policies available. Benchmark The FCA judged add-on policies by their \"claims ratio\". This measures the proportion of the initial cost of a product that is eventually paid out under the policy. In the case of add-on personal accident insurance it found that the claims ratio was just 9%. In the case of Guaranteed Asset Protection (GAP) policies - often sold with cars - it found that just 10% of the full value was returned to claimants. In comparison, regular household or motor insurance policies paid out 64% of the original purchase price. As a result, the FCA said many consumers may be paying for policies which are poor value. But the industry said the claims ratio was not a good way of measuring performance. \"The emphasis upon claims ratios is unhelpful; they are not an accurate benchmark of customer value, not least because they are affected by distribution costs for the insurer,\" said Hugh Savill, the director of regulation at the Association of British Insurers.

The sale had been due to go ahead in London on Tuesday. But it was cancelled by auctioneer Christie's, which cited \"a dispute before the Portuguese Court, to which Christie's is not a party\". A court in Portugal had earlier rejected an injunction by opposition politicians attempting to block the sale, which aimed to recoup some of the millions the government lost rescuing the failed bank during the financial crisis. Legislators belonging to the opposition Socialist Party had requested the injunction, saying the paintings had been taken out of Portugal illegally. In a statement, Christie's said: \"While the recent injunction to stop the sale was not granted, the legal uncertainties created by this ongoing dispute mean that we are not able to safely offer the works for sale. \"We have a responsibility to our buyers to be sure that legal title can transfer to them without issue. Since the court's decision calls this into question at this time, Christie's is required to withdraw the works from sale. \"We hope that the parties in this dispute can resolve their differences in due course.\" The most highly valued piece in the collection, Women and Birds (Femmes et Oiseaux), had been expected to fetch between $6.5m and $11.5m. Another of Joan Miro's most valued works, Painting: Blue Star (Peinture: Etoile Bleue), was valued between $4m and $5.7m. The 1927 work set an auction record for the Spanish painter when it sold for more than $37m in London in 2012. Christie's described the collection as \"one of the most extensive and impressive offerings of works by the artist ever to come to auction\".

After a search, officers found Andrew Quirk, 25, hiding in the bathroom. Quirk and O'Sullivan both admitted taking part in a gathering and were jailed at Douglas Courthouse. The Isle of Man's current lockdown bans people from leaving home without good reason and households from mixing. Quirk, of Keppel Road, who also admitted being away from home without good reason, was jailed for 30 days, while O'Sullivan, of Woodville Terrace, was handed 12 weeks in prison, which included 10 weeks of two previously suspended sentences for breaching restrictions and assaulting a police officer in May. The hearing at Douglas Courthouse was told police had spoken to O'Sullivan at her home on Woodville Terrace on 4 January and she had told them she lived alone. When they returned to speak to her again two weeks later, they heard a male voice in the flat and subsequently found Quirk hiding in a walk-in shower. Quirk's lawyer said he had visited O'Sullivan because he was \"going through a difficult period\", but accepted the rules were in place for a reason. O'Sullivan's lawyer said she did not realise Quirk's presence was a breach of the regulations, as he had sometimes stayed at her home before the current lockdown. Passing sentence, Deputy High Bailiff Christopher Arrowsmith said the breach had the potential to diminish the efforts the majority of the island's community were making to stop the spread of Covid-19.

He added that a tougher licensing system would be implemented until the ban is in place. Between 35 and 50 wild animals are believed to be working in circuses. MPs backed a ban last year. Although the Commons vote was non-binding, the government later said it would act on the decision. But it warned that it could be left open to lawsuits from circus owners and workers. That is a hurdle that is still likely to make progress of the ban slow. 'Serious legal issues' In a written parliamentary statement, Lord Taylor said: \"There is no place in today's society for wild animals being used for our entertainment in travelling circuses. Wild animals deserve our respect. \"We have said many times we wanted to ban this outdated practice, but before we could do that there were serious legal issues we had to consider. \"We are developing proposals to introduce a bill as soon as parliamentary time allows. \"In the meantime we are introducing a Circus Licensing Scheme to ensure decent conditions for wild animals in travelling circuses.\" In the Commons, environment minister Jim Paice was pressed by MPs on the timing of the ban, but replied: \"It's impossible to put an exact date on it but I would be extremely surprised and disappointed if it's not implemented before the next election.\" For Labour, shadow environment minister Fiona O'Donnell said: \"Last year Parliament voted unanimously to ban wild animals from circuses with the backing of 95% of the public. \"Defra ministers showed how out of touch they are with the public and hid behind spurious threats of legal challenges in the EU as an excuse for doing nothing. \"Now they are saying they will introduce a bill when parliamentary time allows. But yesterday, they introduced a water bill which will be passed in just two days. Why can't they do the same with this?\" The calls for a ban increased following revelations of the mistreatment of a circus elephant, Anne, last year. A consultation on welfare licences has been launched and the regulations are expected to come into force by the summer. Anyone responsible for a travelling circus that uses wild animals in a performance will need to hold a valid licence, meet welfare standards and have a retirement plan for each animal. They will also need to provide proper accommodation, full veterinary care, a good diet and high welfare standards during training and performances. A government-appointed inspector, paid for by the circuses, will ensure rules are met, officials said.",

The council's Paul Lawrence said emails from Underbelly director Charlie Wood came \"across as threats\". Mr Wood apologised and said he \"wanted to give the reality of the situation\". At the time there were calls for the market to be moved to another location in the city after complaints it was taking over and damaging the city centre park. The market was also held this year without planning permission and safety fears emerged on social media after pictures were posted on Twitter showing scaffolding on a steep slope holding up a platform that would house the market in Princes Street Gardens. A building warrant was obtained on the day the Christmas market opened but planning permission is still yet to be obtained retrospectively. Underbelly raised the prospect of possible cancellation of the events during correspondence in May, June and November. In November, Mr Wood asked Mr Lawrence to \"help\" him deal with concerns raised by council officials over the impact of market stalls on trees in the gardens. In an email sent on 6 November, one council officer told Underbelly: \"We are concerned about the impact of the structures which sit south of the Scott Monument and adjacent to the middle path. \"It appears that if sheds are constructed on top of the platforms, that these could damage the trees. These are protected trees.\" In an email to Mr Lawrence, Mr Wood dismissed the issues raised by officers and said Underbelly had \"no option but to build them\". In another email to Mr Wood from David Givan, City of Edinburgh Council's service manager, he said: \"Until I have conducted this review, I urge you very strongly not to undertake the construction of any sheds on the in the area to the south of the Scott Monument as described in my email below. I must ensure that there is no damage to the trees.\" Mr Wood then said his team were feeling under a lot of pressure due to \"the negativity\" they were facing. He said: \"Paul: Ed and I have spent the last couple of days in Edinburgh with the team to boost morale and to be absolutely candid with you, spirits are at rock bottom and many people (key people) are at breaking point. \"We urgently need the council's support or there is a real risk of no event and no Hogmanay.\" Amy McNeese-Meechan, culture and communities vice convener said: \"As this correspondence makes clear, the council's main priority here is, and always has been, public safety and protecting our much-loved gardens while still delivering the Christmas festivities. \"Our actions were designed to achieve a successful and safe event despite the challenging external pressures, as per the terms of the contract with the event organiser to deliver Winter Festivals\". The emails also reveal concerns from Mr Givan over the safety of the scaffolding structure. He wrote: \"From what we have seen from photographs on social media it appears that (at least some of) the scaffolding support structure has not been constructed in accordance with the warrant drawings. \"In particular, these drawings show timber sleepers of 100x200mm sections while the photographs we have seen show scaffolding planks which appear to be approximately 50mm thick.\" The market is expected to remain in Princes Street Gardens for the next two years. Officials said it would use feedback from a public consultation, held later in the year, for ideas on a new site. A council spokesperson said: \"There was an ongoing dialogue between the department and the applicant to make sure the structures were safe and fully compliant before the market opened to the public. Any concerns raised were fully checked and actioned as part of this process. An Underbelly spokeswoman said: \"Safety is always Underbelly's first priority. \"The structure in East Princes Street Gardens was built and completed in accordance with its specification, and as agreed with the council's engineers and Underbelly's independent engineers, and received a building warrant in the proper manner.\"",

Ian, the non-Muslim, was more than four times more successful in getting job interviews than Muslim-convert Zoltan. Faith and Communities Minister Baroness Warsi and an academic expressed concern over the findings by Inside Out West. Equivalent CVs Both journalists are from Manchester, they are of a similar age and ethnicity and were given equivalent CVs. To make his faith clear, Zoltan used the name Mohammed and wore traditional shalwar kameez dress. As part of the BBC Inside Out West investigation he and Ian applied for the same 40 jobs being advertised in shop windows around the city centre. Ian's inquiries resulted in 13 interviews and one job offer without an interview. Zoltan was invited to three interviews. At one café, Zoltan was told CVs were being collected and to assume he had not been shortlisted if he heard nothing further. But when Ian inquired about the same job 10 minutes later, he was offered a trial shift. The cafe owner spotted Zoltan in the distance and said to Ian: \"See that guy in the hat? Do not tell him I've given you a trial shift on Saturday. 'Better rapport' \"If you bump into him in the street and he wants to talk to you, do not tell him because he's just given me his CV and I told him that I won't be making a decision until next week. So don't tell him.\" After contact from the BBC, the cafe manager denied discriminating against Zoltan and said he had more things in common with Ian and had struck up a better rapport with him. In another inquiry, both men visited a branch of a food retailer to ask about a mix of jobs on offer, including store supervisor. Ian was given an application form and told there was a dozen store supervisor vacancies within the same chain locally. Zoltan was told a driver's job, also being advertised, had already been filled and he was then only alerted to upcoming temporary Christmas jobs. Elsewhere at one fast food outlet, both men inquired about a job being advertised for a delivery driver. 'Opportunities curbed' Zoltan was told about the pay and job requirements, such as needing a car and clean driver's licence, and he left his CV. But five minutes later Ian made the same inquiry and was given an application form and told to fill it in straight away. Faith and Communities Minister Baroness Warsi said: \"It does concern me that somebody's opportunities are being curbed because of the religion they appear to follow. \"In this country we have a law which protects against discrimination, individual firms have policies which protect against discrimination. \"We need to make sure these policies are being applied at the grassroots level.\" Professor Tariq Madood, director of the Centre for the Study of Ethnicity and Citizenship at Bristol University, believes Muslim men find it harder to get a job. 'Nasty political causes' He said: \"They have to make more applications to get an interview, they have to have more interviews to get a job offer. \"They're more likely to be made unemployed when there is a recession. Muslim men's average wages are very low compared to white men. \"If they can't get work they are more likely to be involved in drug dealing, gang behaviour and, of course, they'd be more likely to be recruited into nasty political causes. \"How can you ask people to integrate and then treat them negatively and exclude them from job opportunities or other opportunities? \"You're really just sowing a division into the next generation and into the future.\" Watch the full report on Inside Out West via the BBC iPlayer for seven days after initial broadcast.",

But the responses indicate people think the quality of elderly care, hospitals, police and road maintenance is lower. Councils say funding remains a concern. The Local Government Association says overall the results are testament to the resilience of councils, but says that unless finances become sustainable, satisfaction levels will decline. It is five years since the bail-out of the banks marked a new era of austerity in Britain amid warnings that deep cuts to state spending would see the standard of public services plunge. But today's poll by ICM suggests six out of 10 people think service quality has been maintained or improved. With recycling for instance, 12% think it has got worse, but 48% think services are better, giving a score of plus 36 percentage points. There are positive responses for the quality of many other services too. Parks and open spaces score plus 19; leisure centres plus 18. Bus services score plus two overall but there are big regional variations. In Scotland, bus services score minus 20 - suggesting people think they have got worse, while in the south-east of England they score plus 22. While general public opinion may tend towards the view that a service has been maintained or improved, some will argue that cuts in spending have had a particularly negative impact on vulnerable groups whose experience may not be represented by the poll. However, the survey indicates that people who use a particular service are more likely to say it has got better than the general population. For instance, the overall score for meals-on-wheels is minus one - a slightly higher proportion think they've got worse than better. But among service users, the figure jumps to plus 12. With schools it is a similar story: Plus 10 among the whole survey sample, but plus 21 among parents of school-age children. And libraries - the subject of many anti-cuts protests - three per cent more people say they've got better than worse, but among library users the score is plus seven. Professor Tony Travers of the London School of Economics says the results will be seized upon by the Treasury as evidence that forcing local authorities to focus on frontline services can lead to an improvement in standards. \"Ministers are likely to use this poll to argue for further cuts,\" he says. Despite the government protecting NHS budgets, hospitals score minus three and care for the elderly minus 11. The biggest concern is pot-holes - road maintenance scores minus 55. Sir Merrick Cockell, chairman of the Local Government Association says: \"It is unsurprising that the cracks are starting to appear in public satisfaction around the state of our roads and elderly care. \"A shortage of funding and increasing demand is making it impossible to maintain adult social care services at current levels let alone to try and raise standards of care while our roads are crumbling under a £10.5bn repair backlog caused by decades of underinvestment. \"Unless local government finance is put on a sustainable footing, these figures will only head in one direction as the noticeable impact of cuts to services becomes a reality for all residents.\" A Department for Transport spokesman said: \"Councils have been given billons by the government to fill potholes on local roads and the public expects them to use that money.\" The government will argue that the poll findings vindicate their determination to streamline public services. Only last week, Prime Minister David Cameron told the BBC: \"We have demonstrated in government that you can make reductions but improve services.\" Local Government Minister Brandon Lewis said: \"This survey shows that in many areas such as rubbish collections, schools and libraries, services and value for money are improving, illustrating how councils can both deliver sensible savings and protect the frontline. \"But some councils are making lazy choices due to their failure to get a grip on cutting waste and inefficiency.\"",

Prince Charles tried his hand at being a sci-fi baddie by uttering the Daleks' famous \"exterminate\" catchphrase into a voice modulator. Writer Steven Moffat thought he was \"great\". He said: \"I haven't thought about how I could weave a meeting between the Doctor and the royal family. But Prince Charles's attempt at being a Dalek was great. \"There would be a part in the show for him if he wanted it.\" During the visit on Wednesday morning, the royal couple was greeted by BBC Wales director Rhodri Talfan Davies in Cardiff Bay - where Doctor Who is recorded - and then posed for pictures with two gold-coloured Daleks. The couple also met Matt Smith, who currently plays the Doctor but is stepping down, and Jenna Coleman, who plays his companion, as well as series head writer Mr Moffat. The tour included the set of the Tardis, the Doctor's time travelling ship, as well as a display of some of the show's monsters, including a weeping angel and a cyberman. Nicholas Briggs, who voices the Daleks, demonstrated some of their famous catchphrases, while production staff showed how a green screen set is used to generate some of the programme's special effects. Doctor Who is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year. In addition to Doctor Who, Roath Lock is also home to BBC programmes including Casualty, the Welsh-language drama Pobol y Cwm and children's drama Wizards vs Aliens. Prince Charles has also visited the new headquarters of his charity, Prince's Trust Cymru where he met volunteers, staff and young people. A Clarence House spokeswoman said Charles was very passionate about the organisation. She said: \"The new Prince's Trust Cymru headquarters will support 3,500 vulnerable young people across Wales this year, giving them the skills and confidence to turn their lives around and move into jobs. \"It's significant because in Cardiff alone, more than one in four young people (30%) are struggling to find a job (Office for National Statistics). \"The Prince's Trust Enterprise programme is celebrating its 30th birthday this year. It has helped 80,000 young people become their own boss since 1983. \"It's worth noting that three in four young people on Prince's Trust programmes move into work, education or training.\" During the official opening, Prince Charles addressed young people, staff, volunteers and supporters. He said: \"I hope some of you here today are beginning to benefit in a small way and I am also incredibly proud of the difference the trust can make to so many lives.\" One of the young people who met the Prince was 27-year-old Sarah Hillier, from Pontypool. She is about to launch a custom-made teddy bear business with support from the trust. Mrs Hillier presented Prince Charles with a bear created for his soon-to-be-born grandchild. Mrs Hillier decided she wanted to run her own business after running a successful cafeteria at her partner's workplace. She had to leave when her husband was made redundant and she found herself unemployed. Describing the bear she created for the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's baby, Mrs Hillier said: \"The bear is one of my favourite designs and I have chosen a soldier's outfit for it. I just hope this little bear is fit for a prince - or a princess!\" The charitable theme also continued for Camilla as she visited the Emmaus Charity shop in Porthcawl, Bridgend, which supports homeless people by giving them accommodation and work experience in a bid to turn their lives around. On a visit to Treharris near Merthyr Tydfil, Prince Charles called in at the Farmers' Co-operative Shop and met staff and local farmers.

Economic recovery from Covid-19 was the focus of the virtual meeting of the council on Friday. NI's first and deputy first ministers were among political leaders taking part. First Minister of Scotland Nicola Sturgeon, Welsh First Minster Mark Drakeford and Taoiseach (Irish prime minister) Micheál Martin also attended, as did Cabinet Minister Michael Gove. Speaking to journalists afterwards, Ms O'Neill said: \"The virus doesn't stop because it's moving from one jurisdiction to another, it moves very freely across this island. \"And I think the issue of travel is crucially important as we move forward.\" She said the different approaches \"across the islands\" were \"really unhelpful\". NI First Minister Arlene Foster said the executive's approach to Covid-19 restrictions must be measured. \"We do need to have economic recovery alongside protecting our people and protecting the National Health Service,\" she said. \"Therefore, we will be taking a balanced and proportionate view, when the executive next comes together as to how we deal with all of these matters. \"And I think we owe that to the people of Northern Ireland, and the recognition that there have been huge restrictions on people's lives for understandable reasons.\" The taoiseach is to have discussions with the first and deputy first minsters about the pandemic. Mr Martin said discussions would continue between politicians in Belfast and Dublin and between the respective medical officers on both sides of the border. The council meeting was the first time the body has met virtually, after the 34th summit was postponed in June due to the pandemic. Leaders from the Isle of Man, Jersey and Guernsey also took part, with all administrations providing an update on the latest political developments. The council last met in full in November 2019, when political efforts were focused on Brexit and restoring devolution in Northern Ireland. It is thought ministers will also discuss the co-ordination across the UK on coronavirus, ahead of the Christmas break. What is the British-Irish Council? It was set up under the Good Friday Agreement, which signalled an end to 30 years of violence in Northern Ireland, as part of efforts to boost and strengthen east-west relations. It was last held in Northern Ireland in 2013, when representatives met in Londonderry to mark its year as UK city of culture. Its sister organisation is the North-South Ministerial Council, made up of ministers from the Northern Ireland Executive and ministers from the Irish government.

On Saturday, joint US, UK and French strikes targeted Syrian government sites in response to an alleged chemical weapons attack. Mr Macron said he also persuaded Mr Trump to keep the strikes limited. The pair, who are reported to have a friendly relationship, spoke several times in the days before the military action was taken. Inspectors from the independent Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) are in Syria to inspect the site of the alleged chemical attack, but British diplomats said Syria and Russia had not yet allowed the inspectors to visit the site. After Mr Macron's comments, White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders said: \"The US mission has not changed - the president has been clear that he wants US forces to come home as quickly as possible\". But she added that the US was \"determined to completely crush\" the Islamic State group and prevent its return. Announcing the strikes in an address to the nation on Friday evening in Washington, Mr Trump insisted: \"America does not seek an indefinite presence in Syria - under no circumstances.\" The US has about 2,000 personnel on the ground in eastern Syria supporting an alliance of Kurdish and Arab militias called the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF). Catch up on the strikes: What did Mr Macron say? Speaking in a live TV interview, during which he was grilled on several subjects, Mr Macron said: \"Ten days ago, President Trump was saying 'the United States should withdraw from Syria'. We convinced him it was necessary to stay for the long term.\" In telephone calls with Mr Trump, he also said he \"persuaded him that we needed to limit the strikes to chemical weapons [sites], after things got a little carried away over tweets\". A tweet from Mr Trump last week about US missile strikes on Syria had read: \"Get ready, Russia, because they will be coming, nice and new and 'smart'. You shouldn't be partners with a Gas Killing Animal who kills his people and enjoys it!\" The French president appears to have struck up a strong relationship with his US counterpart and this month will be afforded the first formal White House state visit of the Trump presidency. Mr Macron insisted the Western allies had \"complete international legitimacy to act\" in Syria. He said the allies had clear proof there had been a chemical attack in the town of Douma near Damascus on 7 April and that the Syrian government was responsible. Syria vehemently denies this. Mr Macron said he told Russian President Vladimir Putin directly that Russia - which backs the Syrian government militarily - was complicit. \"They have not used chlorine themselves but they have methodically built the international community's inability to act through diplomatic channels to stop the use of chemical weapons,\" he said. Macron thrives under tough questioning By Hugh Schofield, Paris correspondent for BBC News No-one in France can remember watching a presidential interview quite like this. Out went deference, journalistic fawning and the patsy questions. In came two attack hounds of the press, Jean-Jacques Bourdin and Edwy Plenel - both men bent, it seemed, on a proper slug-out with the head of state. A sign of the style: not once did the journalists call Emmanuel Macron \"Monsieur le President,\" which would be the norm on such occasions. Every time they wanted to address him, they said simply: \"Emmanuel Macron.\" The irony is that far from inconveniencing Mr Macron, this new aggression suits him down to the ground. In the heat of debate, he performs well. He knows his stuff. And on Syria, he made the strongest case yet for his policy - much-criticised - of sticking close to Donald Trump. If it was indeed Emmanuel Macron who talked Trump into \"re-engaging\" with Syria after the suspected chemical attack, then that is an enormous success for France. And the first dividend from a most unlikely presidential friendship. The wave of strikes had represented the most significant attack against President Bashar al-Assad's government by Western powers in seven years of Syria's civil war. Mr Macron said he still wanted dialogue with all parties, including Russia, to try to find a political solution and would go ahead with a planned trip to Moscow next month. The French parliament will be holding an urgent debate on the country's military action at 17:00 local time (15:00 GMT). MPs in the UK parliament are also due to question PM Theresa May on the air strikes. The opposition believes Mrs May should have consulted parliament before launching them. What's happening on the ground in Syria? Inspectors from the independent OPCW are now in the country. But according to British diplomats at an urgent meeting in the OPCW headquarters in The Hague, the organisation's director says his experts are still waiting for Syria and Russia to grant them access to the alleged attack site in Douma. At the meeting, UK ambassador to the Netherlands Peter Wilson accused Russia of trying to undermine all OPCW investigations into alleged chemical weapons use by Syrian government troops. Russia in turn blamed other parties of trying to block their efforts to make a create a new way of investigating such chemical weapons claims. Western allies believe the claimed attack killed dozens of people with the use of chlorine gas and possibly Sarin. The Russians say there is no trace of any chemicals and questioned why the allies carried out strikes before the inspectors had reported. Russia says the attack in Douma was staged, accusing the UK of orchestrating it. The OPCW will not seek to establish, or publicly announce, who was responsible for the attack. What are the latest diplomatic moves? Speaking on TV, US envoy to the UN Nikki Haley said new sanctions would be announced on Monday against Russian companies with links to President Assad. This would be the second tranche of sanctions against Russian firms in a month, partly related to Russia's support for Syria. Ms Haley also ruled out any direct talks with Mr Assad. British Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson said no further strikes were planned, but that this would be reassessed if more chemical attacks took place. President Putin spoke to Iranian counterpart Hassan Rouhani by phone on Sunday, telling him that any new Western strikes on Syria would spark \"international chaos\". Syria is also high on the agenda of an EU foreign ministers' meeting taking place in Luxembourg. The future of the Syrian war: What was targeted by the US, UK and France? Three sites. Firstly, the Barzeh complex, which the US says is a centre for development, production and testing of chemical and biological weapons, although Syria denies this. The other two were suspected chemical weapons facilities at Him Shinshar near Homs. The US said 105 missiles were launched and it believed none were intercepted by Syrian defences. It said Syria's chemical weapons programme had been set back years. The Russians said 71 missiles were shot down by Syrian systems.",

This is against the current measure which deems a train to be \"on time\" if it reaches its final destination within five minutes of the timetable, or 10 minutes for a long distance. Rail punctuality across the UK sank to a 13-year low in 2018. Punctuality information will let passengers get a more accurate picture of exactly how good their service is. UK rail passengers have become increasingly frustrated by delays in recent years as creaking networks, staff shortages, and industrial action have taken their toll. In the year to the middle of October 2018, trains clocked up 32 years of delays. According to the Office of Rail and Road, total delay hours have increased 22% since 2008-9, compared with a 10% increase in the number of trains running. With rail fare increases digging ever deeper into consumers' wallets, passengers do not believe they are getting the service they are paying for. In September 2018 regulator the Office of Rail and Road said \"no-one took charge\" during timetable chaos that caused severe disruption on Britain's railways in May of that year. It blamed a lack of \"responsibility and accountability\" and said passengers were \"badly treated\". Cancellations and delays continue to plague thousands of commuters. For example, on Friday morning all of the trains coming into and going out of Waterloo, a major London transport hub, were cancelled after over-running engineering work. On time? Industry body the Rail Delivery Group (RDG) said the punctuality information will help train operators pinpoint the causes of delays and improve their services. It won't lead to more compensation for passengers because companies will continue to be held to the standards set down in their franchise agreements, which don't take account of the new measures. However, passenger group Transport Focus welcomed the move towards greater transparency. Anthony Smith, its chief executive, said: \"Train timetables need to be a work of fact, not fiction. \"It is good to see train operators reporting true on-time performance to the minute at every station.\" Train firms will publish a spread of information about their services, such as how many were early, within a minute of the timetable or within three, five, 10 or 15 minutes. The proportion of trains cancelled will also be shown. RDG chief executive Paul Plummer said: \"Every second matters to us and our customers which is why rail companies have together developed and are now using these to-the-minute measures for train punctuality at every station as part of our plan to improve the railway today. \"Record investment to upgrade the railway, including the roll out of thousands of new carriages, will continue to help improve journeys over the coming years and in the shorter term, we're using a more transparent measure of punctuality to help us cut delays and reduce disruption.\"",

            "input": "By Michael BuchananSocial Affairs Correspondent, BBC News The BBC has learned 12 patients have jumped off the roof of a hospital run by Southern Health, while another has escaped twice and is currently missing. Problems at Melbury Lodge, which treats people with severe mental health problems, have been known about for years but it is only in recent weeks - following a Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspection - that remedial action has been taken. The revelations come as the chair of Southern Health announced his resignation and ahead of a CQC report to be published on Friday. Southern Health said managing the risks posed by patients was difficult. Staffing problems Of the 12 Melbury Lodge patients who managed to gain access to the roof and jump off it over the past five years, two did so in the last six months. Neither of those two men died, but one was seriously injured. Patients at Melbury Lodge, many of whom are detained for the safety of themselves or others, have been accessing the roof or absconding from the unit for years as a combination of staffing problems and the physical layout of the building has led to repeated problems. Work is now under way to secure the building after the CQC demanded improvements following the inspection earlier this year. The patient who is currently missing was sectioned under the Mental Health Act but managed to escape and flee to France. He was discovered by police and brought back to Melbury Lodge in Winchester - only to escape again. 'Blame culture' Concerns about Southern Health's ability to improve patient services across the trust were first raised by the regulator in 2011, according to a letter seen by BBC News. Monitor, the precursor to NHS Improvement, hauled the management and board of Southern Health to London over concerns that the trust \"may not have the leadership and management expertise within its mental health services\" to make sufficient improvements while ensuring safe and effective services. Around the same time, one director wrote to the board and management expressing concern that a \"blame culture\" was developing at the trust, quoting staff as feeling that: \"We are reverting to carrot and stick in style and that you're either in the tent or outside.\" The trust is under intense scrutiny after an official investigation found it had failed to investigate hundreds of unexpected deaths. The CQC issued a warning notice last month and an external director has been placed at the trust by NHS Improvement. The full CQC report is expected to severely criticise the leadership of the trust. An official review of deaths at the trust published before Christmas blamed leadership and governance failures for the problems. 'Continuous learning' Despite mounting pressure from dozens of families, and the extent of failings at Southern Health, chief executive Katrina Percy has refused to resign. It's understood she continues to have the support of both NHS England and NHS Improvement. In a statement to BBC News, Southern Health said: \"At all our units there is a balance to be struck between providing effective security and a therapeutic environment for our service users. \"Our staff are the most important safety feature we have, and they assess any risks associated with the building alongside understanding the risks associated with individual patients. \"These daily decisions are very challenging and occasionally we may not get it right, which is why continuous learning is so vital to how we operate.\" On the issues identified in the internal documents, the trust said: \"A culture of blame or 'carrot and stick' is not one that we recognise in our organisation.\"",

Chief executive Stuart Gulliver said the jobs would go by \"natural attrition\". Staff turnover stood at about 3,000 annually. A total of 25,000 jobs could be axed globally, meaning close to 10% of HSBC's 266,000 workers will go. The bank will also rebrand its UK High Street branches but is yet to decide on a new name. Options could include reviving the Midland Bank brand, which it bought in 1992, or adopting the name of its UK online bank, First Direct. 'Treated fairly' Chief executive Stuart Gulliver said he wanted to ensure that customers made a distinction between HSBC's investment and retail banking operations. The bank is being forced by new government rules to formally separate the two businesses. Dominic Hook, national officer with the union Unite, called on HSBC to achieve any job cuts through voluntary means and natural attrition. \"It's really sad that all our members, all the hard work they've done to try to get the bank back working properly after all the scandals of the last few years, are going to be paying with their jobs,\" he told BBC Radio 4's Today programme. The number of UK branches is expected to fall by about 100 from 1,057 now. Analysis: Kamal Ahmed, business editor Tomorrow is the date of the Mansion House speech - George Osborne's annual summary of financial regulation and the City. The Chancellor could send a positive message to banks, saying that they are welcome in the UK and that regulation and the tax burden need to be \"proportionate\". That could pave the way to a reform of the bank levy so that it has less of an impact on the foreign operations of UK banks. That could be announced in the Budget on 8 July. The Chancellor could also decide not to raise the levy. Both would be welcomed by large global banks such as HSBC. BBC business editor Kamal Ahmed said the UK job cuts would come as a shock to staff: \"Global banking now is a far tougher business than it was pre-the financial crisis. It is hard to get profits.\" Mr Gulliver was \"running a bank that investors believe simply doesn't make enough money\", he added. Our correspondent said the bank was now looking to \"reduce its footprint in developed economies\". HSBC plans to sell assets in Turkey and Brazil, where it will continue to service large corporate clients. 'World has changed' The news came ahead of a presentation that Mr Gulliver gave to investors and analysts in his second major strategy plan since taking up the role in 2011. \"We recognise that the world has changed and we need to change with it. That is why we are outlining the following... strategic actions that will further transform our organisation,\" he said in a statement. The 10-point plan aims to cut costs by up to $5bn (£3.25bn) and increase investment in Asia - particularly in China. \"Asia [is] expected to show high growth and become the centre of global trade over the next decade,\" Mr Gulliver said. \"Our actions will allow us to capture expected future growth opportunities.\" Shares in HSBC were down 0.9% at 614p in afternoon trading in London, and closed down 0.5% in Hong Kong. The company is valued at almost £120bn. Headquarters decision James Antos, analyst at Mizuho Securities Asia, said the plan would not restore investor confidence in HSBC. \"Slaughtering the staff is not necessarily the solution unless management makes the bank considerably less complex,\" he said. HSBC said it would make a decision on whether to move its headquarters out of the UK by the end of the year. There has been speculation that the British bank may relocate its headquarters to Hong Kong since it announced the review in April. Analysis: Robert Plummer, business reporter HSBC used to style itself as \"the world's local bank\", combining the heft of a global brand with the sophistication of local knowledge. Yet it started moving away from that business model as far back as 2011, hit by a combination of spiralling costs and setbacks in some of those local markets to which it was a latecomer. In fact, however much we hear about economic globalisation, global banks are having a tough time of it these days. Not only are they hard to manage, but they also face stiff competition from local banks in individual countries. In Brazil, for instance, where HSBC was unknown until 1997, it has been outflanked by local operators Itau and Bradesco. Unsurprisingly, then, it has decided to dispose of its subsidiary there and concentrate on the area where its expertise has always been clear: East Asia in general, and China in particular. Mr Gulliver laid out a number of criteria for the decision - including whether the UK government supported the growth of financial services industry. He insisted that any move would not be a response to any UK legislation affecting banks, but about deciding \"where the mind of the company should be\". The government bank levy cost HSBC more than £700m last year - more than any other bank.

Amongst the singles was Tammy Wynette's D.I.V.O.R.C.E. and I Want To Hold Your Hand by The Beatles. Now, if that isn't random, I don't know what is. It's definitely an eclectic mix. As a pre-teen, before punk rock radically changed my life, there were songs on the radio that resonated with me and, to this day, I don't know why. Such as? Benny And The Jets by Elton John. It seemed like it came from another galaxy. As an adult who makes music, I realise now that the production on that song is probably the weirdest to ever make the top 20. Your first single was Radio Free Europe. What do you remember of recording it? Were you excited? No, I wasn't! I didn't know the process of recording. In fact, it wasn't until our second album, Reckoning, that I realised the difference between the bass guitar and the guitar. I didn't know which one did which sound. I knew the bass guitar had four strings on it… because I could count them. But I didn't know the bass guitar did the low notes. That's how ignorant I was of music. What was the first REM song that you felt connected with a mainstream audience? From the first show we did I felt like a pop star, because people clapped when I did something. On some level, that's all part of the insane insecurity and courage it takes to perform in the first place. But I think that when The One I Love came out and went into the top 20 in the US, that's when it felt like, \"Wow, this is really serious. This is real.\" It's always gratifying when someone works for a long time - and this doesn't just have to be in music - and finally achieves their goal. How did that feel? But we didn't know what we wanted. We were the band that had no goals. The fact that we were making records and touring felt like this amazing adventure to us. We didn't necessarily want to conquer the world - but then we ended up doing exactly that in some small corner of the universe that belonged to pop music and us. You've made a film for each of the songs on the new album. How did that come about? To an 11-year-old child, the album is a thing of the past. But I think an album is something quite significant. A medium and a format that needs to be celebrated. So how do we do that in 2011? One thing we can do is create something that's going to be presented on YouTube, or you can watch on your phone. That's what these 12 films were all about. When you were recording Collapse Into Now were you aware of trying to celebrate the album format. Did you sequence it to be listened to as a complete body of work? Sequencing is absolutely important to an album. It's perhaps one of the most important things. Also being able to edit yourself: If you've written 17 songs, being able to bring it down to a number that will create a complete piece. That's a skill I don't own, but Peter [Buck] does. REM is credited with being a band that took the alternative into the mainstream. Do you look at bands like Nirvana or Pearl Jam and see some of yourself? Never! I just don't see it. It's like when people compared REM to The Byrds. I didn't get that either. It was the way Peter picked the guitar instead of strumming it, but I didn't know about the history of music to know that. So when that's turned around on me… I only recently found out that people think my voice is unique. People say they can recognise it instantly and I never knew that. It's not false modesty or humility. I honestly had no idea. Does it feel like every REM album might be the last one? I put so much into the work we do that, when I'm done, I feel like I'd never be able to do it again. For better or worse, one of the things I'm most proud of is that we've never taken the advice of other people over our own. So the triumphs that are ours are distinctly and completely ours. And the failures are also completely ours. So looking back, I get equal dollops of humility and triumphant joy.

He had previously been jailed for possessing a machete and was let out on licence six days before the crash. Serco, which runs HMP Dovegate, confirmed a prisoner had been found dead on Christmas Day. Brown was jailed in April after admitting causing the boys' deaths by dangerous driving, and had his sentence increased in July from nine years to 10 and a half. Casper and Corey were with their mother Louise on the way to a park when they were hit by Brown's Ford Focus as they crossed MacDonald Road in Coventry. Brown, who had 30 previous driving convictions, had never had a driving licence and was banned from driving at the time of the crash. West Midlands Police's Collision Investigation Unit calculated that Brown, who had taken cocaine, diazepam and zopiclone, was driving at more than 60mph. Both boys were taken to hospital but neither could be saved. Their mother was unhurt. At a plea hearing, the court was told Brown, of Attwood Crescent, Wyken, and his passenger Gwendoline Harrison had tried to flee the scene on foot but members of the public attempted to stop them. Harrison, 42, of Triumph Close, Wyken, hit someone who intervened. She admitted a charge of assault intending to resist arrest and was jailed for six months. In May, the boys' father Reece Platt-May was found dead in a hotel in Greece. A spokesman for Serco, which manages the prison where Brown had been serving his sentence, said: \"We can confirm a prisoner died [on Christmas Day] at HMP Dovegate and, as is normal, the death will be subject to a coroner's investigation.\"",

The ONS study examined the workforce between 2006 and 2017. It showed the West Midlands has the highest level of undereducated workers (18.4%) and London has the lowest (12.3%). In recent years the rate of under-education in Northern Ireland has been coming down, having reached almost 22% in 2011. The relatively high rate of under-educated workers in Northern Ireland may reflect a broader weakness in the region's skills base.

            "input": "By Nick TriggleHealth correspondent, BBC News He spent much of his first month in the job on holiday - a break that had long been planned after he had worked during the summer on the Olympics in his capacity as culture secretary. This was followed by a weekend of headlines after he gave an interview to the Times in which he said he would like to see the abortion limit halved to 12 weeks. But in a short 20-minute speech to the Conservative Party conference in Birmingham, Mr Hunt finally got the chance to set out what he wants to do. What did his appearance reveal about the sort of health secretary he is going to be? It's what he didn't say that is most revealing As always, it is important to look at the issues that were not mentioned as well as the ones that were. Most obvious was the fact there was virtually no mention of the savings drive the NHS is currently undergoing. The health service has been asked to find £20bn of efficiency savings by 2015 so money can be ploughed back into the front line. The target is the most demanding the NHS has ever been given and comes at a time when the budget is effectively frozen. While ministers have claimed it is achievable, evidence has started emerging that front-line care is being harmed. There are reports that treatments, such as knee replacements and cataract surgery, are being rationed, while the number of nurses being employed has fallen. No doubt Mr Hunt is aware of the problems brewing, but in not dwelling on them he is not giving the NHS any excuses for falling short. There will be no shouting about the reforms either The new health secretary did mention his predecessor's reforms, praising Andrew Lansley for being \"brave\". These, of course, were the reforms that were pushed through in the face of tough opposition and which at one point threatened to split the coalition. Unions expressed disappointment that he did not signal a change in tack, although this was never likely given that the overhaul has already gone through Parliament and is well on its way to being implemented on the ground. Instead, what his speech showed - and briefings from his team confirmed - is that while he will not be making any drastic U-turns, he will be seeking to move attention away from the changes. But he does want change of another kind Instead of dwelling on Mr Lansley's revolution, Mr Hunt talked about one of his own. Early in the speech he said: \"If Andrew is the health secretary who helped give us the structures for a modern NHS, I want to be the health secretary who helped transform the culture of the system - to make it the best in the world at looking after older people.\" In fact, it was a theme he returned to again and again. He made reference to recent scandals, such as Mid Staffordshire and Winterbourne View, saying they should never happen again. Managers - always a favourite target for politicians - should be held accountable for the quality of care being provided as well as the state of the finances, he said. He also promised he would seek to make the country one of the leading nations when it came to dementia care and research. What about social care? Changes in council-run social care, which covers everything from residential care to help at home with activities such as washing and dressing, were mentioned as a key component of the cultural revolution Mr Hunt wants to see. He said he would be looking to introduce the Dilnot proposals as soon as possible. This refers to the idea put forward last year by the economist Andrew Dilnot who called for a cap to be imposed on the costs people face at the end of life. But there is still a note of caution for those involved in the sector. Neither he nor anyone in the Department of Health was willing to say exactly what that would mean in reality. The Care and Support White Paper published during the summer committed the government to the idea of a cap only if it was affordable and - crucially - left it open to where it would be set and whether it would be a voluntary scheme that people would have to pay to join before they reached old age. Labour can expect a fight The NHS, it is often said, will be the second biggest issue at the next election after the economy. Labour has already latched on to this, with shadow health secretary Andy Burnham consistently warning the very future of the health service is under threat from the government. But Mr Hunt dedicated part of his speech to suggesting there was contradiction in Labour's criticisms. Mr Burnham has been both a junior minister and secretary of state at the Department of Health and so the new health secretary was quick to point out that during his time in office he signed off deals and policies that led to a greater involvement of the private sector. He also said the suggestion that Labour had a monopoly on compassion was an \"insult to common decency\". He then went on to say: \"The NHS does not belong to Labour any more than victory in the Second World War belongs to the Conservatives.\" Expect more of this as we move towards an election.",

BA says the gates shut prematurely at 23:00 while customers are still disembarking, causing huge queues. The Home Office has said it strongly disagrees with BA's remarks. Back in 2015, when the electronic gates at Terminal 5 were opened, the Home Office said that the technology would help the Border Force to process a higher number of low risk passengers \"more quickly and using less resources\" to reduce queuing times. The electronic gates were meant to help border control officers to focus on \"more priority work\" like cracking down on people trafficking and drug smuggling. However, since many of the gates are often closed, families returning from holidays have been facing long queues to pass through immigration, particularly late at night. 'Insult to injury' \"It is a constant frustration to us and to our customers that after a long flight they have to stand in queues, sometimes for over an hour, just to get back into the country,\" said Raghbir Pattar, British Airways' director of Heathrow. \"And it is a dreadful welcome for visitors to the UK... It adds insult to injury when you're stuck in a queue but can see numerous gates which just aren't being used.\" British Airways has submitted its concerns to the Home Office and hopes that action can be taken to reduce unnecessary delays. Mr Pattar said: \"We recognise some of the steps being taken by Border Force to improve the service they provide to travellers. However more focus must be put on operating in the most efficient and flexible way and ensuring that passengers' needs are put first.\" Heathrow Terminal 5 currently only serves BA and Spanish airline Iberia. A spokesperson for Virgin Atlantic told the BBC: \"This hasn't been a particular issue for our customers as all our flights land before 10pm.\" Dispute over eGates The Home Office strongly disagrees with British Airways' comments. \"This statement significantly misrepresents the experience of the vast majority of passengers arriving at Heathrow this summer,\" a spokesperson said. \"More than 99% of British and European passengers arriving at Heathrow are dealt with within 25 minutes. For passengers from outside the European Economic Area, 87% of passengers have been dealt with within 45 minutes. \"Border Force and British Airways have an agreement to close the Terminal 5 ePassport gates at 11pm every evening.

            "input": "The elected and internationally-recognised government has only tenuous control over the eastern region of Cyrenaica where its fledgling, badly equipped and poorly trained army is battling jihadist militias in Libya's second city of Benghazi and other key towns. Its authority is challenged by an Islamist-led administration installed by a parliament whose mandate has long run out but which is in control of the capital, Tripoli. Some elements of the two rival groups have signed up to a United Nations-sponsored power-sharing deal but others remain opposed and peace remains elusive. It is the militias operating across the country, thought to number nearly 2,000, who are really calling the shots. Most recently, fighters from the so-called Islamic State (IS) have established a stronghold in the central coastal city of Sirte, and have advanced towards nearby oil sites in Sidra and Ras Lanuf, an attractive source of revenue for the militant group. NON-JIHADIST GROUPS Libya Dawn Libya Dawn is a grouping of pro-Islamist militias that in summer 2014 attacked Tripoli International Airport and went on to seize large parts of the capital. The militia alliance can be viewed as the \"armed forces\" of the General National Congress (GNC), the former parliament which has been reconvened in Tripoli. Libya Dawn, which has acquired military planes, controls virtually all coastal cities, from Misrata to the border with Tunisia as well as cities further south, including Gharyan, Nalut and Jadu in the mainly Berber mountain range of Nafusa. The name Libya Dawn originally referred to the militias' operation to seize Tripoli but soon came to refer to the armed group coming under its umbrella. Many of its fighters came from the city of Misrata, but in the last year the powerful militias based in that city appear to have drifted from the Libya Dawn coalition. There appears to have been a rift within the militia over support for the UN-sponsored talks and the proposed Government of National Accord, which seeks to unite the rival governments. Libya Shield The Libya Shield grouping is made up of several militias of the same name that operate in various parts of the country. The Central Libya Shield supports the defunct GNC and is viewed by the unrecognized Tripoli authorities as part of its \"Ministry of Defence\" forces. The Central Shield is further broken down into smaller groups. Its Third Force seized control of Birak al-Shati airport in central Libya, over 700km south of Tripoli. The Shield's Benghazi branch (known as Libya Shield Force 1) is led by prominent Islamist commander Wisam Bin-Hamid, who has fought alongside the now deceased commander of the hardline al-Qaeda-linked Ansar al-Sharia group, Muhammad al-Zahawi. Bin-Hamid is also a field commander in the Benghazi Revolutionaries Shura Council (see below). Other pro-GNC groups In addition to Libya Dawn, the GNC also relies on other armed groups that it deems to come under the control of its self-proclaimed \"commander-in-chief\", GNC Speaker Nuri Abu-Sahmain. These include Battalion 166, which alongside Libya Dawn forces, has engaged in clashes with IS in and around Sirte. The militias reportedly withdrew from Sirte ahead of IS's takeover of key swathes of the city in May 2015, prompting the internationally-recognised authorities in the east to accuse them of \"collusion\" with IS. For their part, supporters of the militias said they had not received enough support from the GNC to fight IS. The GNC continues to maintain that the chief of staff when the congress was in power, Maj-Gen Jadallah al-Obaidi, continues to hold the post and head the \"armed forces\". In recent months, the Libyan Petroleum Facilities Guard (PFG) has become more prominent due to regular clashes with IS militants. The group's politics are unclear, although it may be described as a parastatal force that is broadly supportive of the GNC. It is led by Ibrahim al-Jadran who has condemned IS, although his brother is said to be an IS commander. Early in 2016, the PFG distanced itself from the internationally-recognised government and launched a scathing attack on the commander of the Libyan National Army, saying that he and IS were \"two sides of the same coin\". Libya's rival power bases (as of August 2015) JIHADIST GROUPS Islamic State (IS) A major development on the ground in Libya in 2015 was the emergence of IS. IS built on an existing presence in the eastern city of Derna, a long-time jihadist hub, where groups active pledged allegiance to IS and took over local administration buildings. Although IS was driven out of most areas of Derna in July 2015 it went on to seize \"complete control\" of the central coastal city of Sirte, the birthplace of former leader Muammar Gaddafi. In June, the group's official radio station, al-Bayan, which is already operating in Syria and Iraq, reportedly began broadcasting from Sirte. IS has claimed that it has captured the coastal town of Bin-Jawad, as well as having a \"strong presence\" in Nofilia, Sidra and Ra's Lanuf, putting it significantly closer to installations in Libya's oil rich region, and leading to repeated clashes with the Petroleum Facilities Guard (see above). IS has managed to strike in Tripoli and Benghazi by launching high-profile one-off attacks, for example those targeting embassies and hotels in Tripoli in January and February 2015, and most recently on a police training base in Zliten, near the capital. The group is also present in Benghazi and has cells in Tripoli. IS has divided Libya geographically into three \"provinces\": Barqah (Cyrenaica) in the east, Tripoli (referring to wider Tripolitania) in the west, and Fezzan in the centre and south. According to a UN report issued in December, IS has between 2,000 and 3,000 fighters in Libya, including 1,500 in Sirte. The group seems to be attracting fighters from sub-Saharan countries. The main armed militias in the fight against IS in the city are the Derna Mujahidin Shura Council and the Abu-Salim Martyrs Brigade, which are known for their ties to Ansar al-Sharia (see below). Ansar al-Sharia Al-Qaeda's Libyan affiliate, Ansar al-Sharia, is most prominent in eastern Libya. In Benghazi, its militants have been present since the overthrow of Gaddafi in 2011 and have been continuously battling the Libyan National Army (LNA) of the internationally recognized government based in Tobruk (see below). The group also has a presence in Derna and Sabratha in the west. The militia has been accused of involvement in the attack on the US consulate in September 2012 in which Ambassador Chris Stevens was killed and is listed by the United States as a terrorist organisation. It uses its Twitter account, which is routinely suspended and reopened, to advertise its attacks on army forces. Benghazi Revolutionaries Shura Council A coalition of Islamist militias, the Benghazi Revolutionaries Shura Council is made up of groups including Ansar al-Sharia, the 17 February Brigade and the Rafallah al-Sahati Brigade. As with its key component Ansar al-Sharia, the Benghazi Shura Council is another firm opponent of the LNA. It maintains strongholds in parts of the eastern city that army forces have struggled to seize. IS has criticized the Benghazi Shura Council for not pledging allegiance to the group, accusing it of being loyal to Libya Dawn and the \"forces of democracy\". IS has cited these as evidence of the council's \"apostasy\". Derna Mujahidin Shura Council Another al-Qaeda-affiliated group, the Derna Mujahidin Shura Council, is a coalition of Islamist militias formed in December 2014. It came into the spotlight particularly in July 2015, after driving IS militants out of most areas of Derna. Clashes between the two groups escalated significantly after IS killed two Islamist figures linked to the Derna Mujahidin Shura Council. Ajdabiya Revolutionaries Shura Council The Ajdabiya Revolutionaries Shura Council is an Islamist militant group based in Ajdabiya, a coastal town west of Benghazi and is led by Muhammad al-Zawi. Twice in January the IS-linked \"news agency\" A'maq reported that al-Zawi and a number of his men had pledged allegiance to IS. The council issued a statement, dated 2 January, saying it had nothing to do with the matter and the pledge represented an individual acts. The militia has been engaged mainly in fighting the LNA. PRO-GOVERNMENT GROUPS Armed forces and allied units On the side of the internationally-recognised authorities are various forces comprising the Libyan National Army (LNA) and units supporting it. Maj-Gen Khalifah Haftar, who in May 2014 launched Operation Dignity against Islamist groups, and had largely operated alongside but outside the military's official ranks, was appointed army commander by the House of Representatives in March 2015. The LNA is supported by various units, including militias (see below) and the Special Forces, al-Saiqa, which declared their support for Gen Haftar at the time of his announcement of Operation Dignity. Along with the government forces' Tanks Battalion, the al-Saiqa forces have been particularly targeted by Islamist militia attacks. Zintan, al-Sawaiq, al-Qaqa Battalions The Zintan, al-Sawaiq and al-Qaqa brigades are anti-Islamist militias that operate especially in the west of Libya. The powerful Zintan militia supports the internationally-recognised authorities and has clashed on numerous occasions with Libya Dawn. It continues to detain Saif-al-Islam al-Gaddafi, the son of the former leader who was sentenced to death in Tripoli last year, in the western city of Zintan, while most other Gaddafi-era officials are held by pro-Islamist forces in Tripoli. The al-Qaqa and al-Sawaiq battalions are also pro-official authorities and anti-Islamist. They attacked the GNC in Tripoli soon after Operation Dignity was announced in May 2014.

Almost 88% were working, with fewer unemployed or in further study, according to the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA) report. Universities and science minister Jo Johnson described the figures as \"a further welcome sign\". HESA has carried out the longitudinal survey of graduates every two years since 2006 - when graduates who finished in 2003 were questioned. The last time that graduate unemployment was this low was in 2008, among graduates who left university in 2005, according to the figures. Graduate prospects were worst in the 2010 survey when only 86.4% of were in work, three years after leaving university in 2007. A total of 3.5% of this group were unemployed. In November 2014 the median salary of those graduates in full-time work in the UK was £26,000 and of those in employment, 80.5% were in professional jobs. More than three-quarters (76%) of the graduates said their course had prepared them well for their career and two-thirds (66%) said it had been good value for money - but this group were at university before fees trebled to £9,000 a year in 2012. Mr Johnson said the government aimed to \"ensure everyone has the opportunity to work hard and secure a better future\". He added: \"These latest statistics are a further welcome sign that so many graduates enjoy high levels of employment, but there is more to do to ensure students get the teaching they deserve and employers get the skills they need.\" Prof Les Ebdon, director of Fair Access to Higher Education, said the results highlighted why it was so important for people from disadvantaged backgrounds to have the opportunity of higher education \"and accrue the life-changing benefits it can bring\". But Prof Ebdon added that despite \"significant progress\", students from disadvantaged backgrounds were two-and-a-half times less likely to enter higher education than those from the most advantaged backgrounds. \"This ratio jumps at highly selective universities with the most disadvantaged nearly seven times less likely to enter these institutions. \"It is crucial that closing these gaps remains a priority,\" he said.",

Police have handed the case over to prosecutors, officials said. GSK said it took the allegations \"very seriously\" and would co-operate with the authorities over the matter. Chinese authorities announced in July last year that they were investigating GSK, detaining four Chinese GSK executives. Polish allegations The police ministry accused Mr Reilly, the company's former head of China operations, of personally running a \"massive bribery network\". He is alleged to have pressed his sales team to pay doctors, hospital officials and health institutions to use GSK products, resulting in the \"illegal revenue\" of hundreds of millions of dollars. At a news conference, the investigators took pains to explain how the cost of the alleged bribes was passed directly on to Chinese consumers, the BBC's Celia Hatton reports. They said the cost of the drugs sold by GSK in China was much higher than that of similar drugs sold by the company in other countries - sometimes up to seven times higher. The investigators also said that while the company itself had been \"very responsible and has given us their full support\", the firm's operation in China \"tried to pay bribes\" in order to \"obstruct\" their efforts \"in exposing their bribery behaviours\". Mr Reilly had briefly left China when the investigation was launched last July, but returned to help with the inquiry. A police investigator was believed to still be in China. Mr Reilly could not be reached for comment. The Chinese operation of GSK was accused by the Chinese authorities, when the probe first began, of using travel agencies and consultancies to transfer bribes over several years. GSK has already apologised for employees apparently acting outside of its internal controls, but denies the sums of money are anything like as high as those alleged to have been paid. The pharmaceutical giant is also facing a criminal investigation into similar allegations in Poland. It follows allegations made by former sales representative Jarek Wisniewski to the BBC's Panorama programme in April that doctors were paid to promote GSK's asthma drug Seretide. If the allegations in either country are proved, GSK may have violated both the UK Bribery Act and the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.

Highways England said the A14 between Thrapston in Northamptonshire and Ellington in Cambridgeshire would reopen eastbound. At 18:00 GMT on Thursday, it remained closed westbound between junctions 18 and 22. Northamptonshire Fire and Rescue Service said it dealt with more than 250 calls on Wednesday and Thursday. The calls included reports of flooded properties and people being stranded in vehicles, it said. Affected areas include Wootton Brook in Northampton, Cogenhoe Mill, Grendon, Yardley Hastings, Bozeat and Denton. Up to 30 homes in Kettering are being evacuated, with Northamptonshire Search and Rescue heading up the operation. A joint statement from Northamptonshire police, fire and rescue service, county council, Highways England and Northamptonshire Clinical Commissioning Groups said \"a large number of calls\" had been received, with \"many from stranded drivers who have driven into floods\". The statement urged people not to call 999 \"unless there is a serious risk to life or threat of danger to property\". It added: \"Doing so puts services under strain so those who do require an emergency response may have to wait longer. \"We are also advising people not to drive into water - the depth isn't immediately obvious and the risk often unapparent.\" It urged people to take \"extreme caution\" in \"difficult\" driving condition, particularly as temperatures dropped later in the day, resulting in potentially icy roads.

And when the group released its all-star event speakers' list, its momentum seemed unstoppable. But the march is not without its issues. Supporters are divided over abortion. According to The Atlantic, a pro-life group called New Wave were at one time sponsors of the march. Women's March has since dropped the group and has said \"We apologize for this error\". Initial objections by some activists to the partnership, were met with equally defiant responses. Actress Patricia Heaton expressed her horror that \"that pro-choicers are horrified by actual choices\". And an opinion piece in the Washington Post that claimed a pro-life activist would \"walk at the Women's March, whether organizers like it or not,\" seemed to resonate with many. Others are expressing outrage at the decision by the organisers \"to ignore the millions of pro-life women\", while some labelled the event as \"anti-women\". This isn't the first time that supporters of the march - started in the wake of fears over a loss of women's rights under a Trump administration - have been divided. Just last week, some critics capitalised on reports that views on race were proving as divisive. A post by a Trump-supporter suggesting that the movement activists were \"fighting over who's more oppressed\" was widely shared. The Women's March will take place on 21 January. The Chinese girl who made a reputation from waking people up A young woman who has made a living from waking people up has sparked a lot of interest on Chinese social media. \"Winnie\"- as named by one regional newspaper- offered her services via an online store she opened on Taobao - a Chinese service similar to eBay - in early 2016. These included wake up calls, goodnight calls and even calls to offer encouragement or send blessings. What started as an attempt to make \"life a little more fun\" has now turned into a business start-up whereby \"Winnie\" receives 400 call requests a month. Many on social media praised the young lady's business innovation and ability to find \"market opportunities everywhere\". Some were even interested to find out if \"she is recruiting?\" But one user pointed out that if anything, her success reflects the \"much emptiness\" in the lives of Chinese youth. An ageing population and the now-scrapped one-child policy have led to a huge age and gender gap in Chinese society, and many men are simply unable to find a partner. But Winnie seems determined on seizing the business opportunity in all this. She has even raised the charge of her call from one to three Yuan (10-30 P) to five Yuan, citing her credibility and reputation. Additional reporting by BBC Monitoring's China team",

Concerned TV viewers contacted the corporation after noticing his hand shaking during a report on 5G technology on BBC Breakfast. \"I wanted to be frank about it,\" he told BBC Radio 5 Live on Friday morning, urging others to do the same. Symptoms of Parkinson's - a degenerative brain condition - include involuntary tremors and stiff muscles. \"A few months ago I was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease and it wasn't a huge shock to me as I'd noticed a few things in the last year changing,\" he told 5 Live host Nicky Campbell. \"But I was aware that people were noticing on air occasionally this tremor in my right hand. Live broadcasting is always pretty hairy, because we were doing a live broadcast over 5G. \"I got on the train with my producer to head to Birmingham to do more and we had a little chat and she put the idea in my head of going public about this because she'd obviously noticed the shaking on air and few other people had. \"So I just put it out there really wanting to be up front about it because some people were worried a couple of people had actually contacted the BBC and suggested I should see a doctor and I'd already done that and I wanted to be frank about it.\" He added: \"I've had loads of lovely messages, including a few from people who've also had Parkinson's. \"One person wrote to me saying, 'I work in PR and I haven't told my clients, I'm not sure what they would think'. And I think that's really sad. \"I was with a great Parkinson's nurse the other day and she told me about a client of her's who'd been diagnosed really young and he'd lost his job because he began to slow down a bit and he hadn't told his employers about it. \"You need that information out there.\" Cellan-Jones went on to say that he's now on medication and also taking part in medical research into the disease, which has so far manifested itself in a slight limp, hand tremors and his typing getting worse. \"I'm getting good treatment and the symptoms are mild right now,\" he wrote on Twitter a day earlier, \"so I'm carrying on as normal. Onwards and upwards!\" His BBC colleagues and MPs were among those to offer messages of support on social media, with Brussels reporter Adam Fleming writing: \"True public service to be so open about it.

Workers and unions, who claim the move will damage public services, staged a protest outside the council headquarters on Wednesday. Two local Labour MPs have tabled a Commons motion questioning the move. Ian Parry, cabinet member for education, said 4,000 school support jobs would be safe and the new company would create 1,600 more jobs. 'Invest in services' He said: \"There's no long-term implications for people's employment, we'll always need to provide school services, what we want to do is provide them better and to provide more of them. \"We're creating something different and imaginative that will continue to provide services and generate an income stream to invest in services and education.\" School careers adviser Stephanie Evans, who is one of the workers who will be employed by the new company, said she was worried. She said: \"We're just really concerned if the joint venture doesn't prove to be successful or make a profit how will Capita recoup their losses? \"It could be by worsening the terms and conditions of staff which could worsen the quality of services we provide to young people to support them.\" As part of the deal, Capita will set up a headquarters in the county and will invest £50m, which includes a £32m lump sum in return for a 51% controlling stake to run services. The authority said it would make money via dividends as a 49% shareholder in the company. But Claire Breeze, from Unison, said the new company \"removed democratic accountability\". She said: \"Services and staff are going to be handed over to a private company whose number one priority is to make as much profit as possible. \"They're accountable to their shareholders, not the people of Staffordshire - we believe there is a huge risk to services and staff in the long run.\" Gareth Morris, head teacher at Flash Ley Community Primary School in Stafford said many of his staff could see the importance of change even if they were not necessarily supportive of the transfer. He said: \"The cooks and support staff in my school want to be engaged ands improve the service. They also see the need and where their talents can come in to change the service.\" He added, as a head teacher, the success of the scheme would be judged on a combination of quality and value for money.

Google chief executive Sundar Pichai has told staff he supports their right to take the action. \"I understand the anger and disappointment that many of you feel,\" he said in an all-staff email. \"I feel it as well, and I am fully committed to making progress on an issue that has persisted for far too long in our society… and, yes, here at Google, too.\" A Twitter feed titled @googlewalkout documented the movement at Google's international offices. Google staff in Singapore, Zurich, London, Tokyo, Berlin and New York were among those to take part. Web developer Sam Dutton, who joined the walkout in London, told the BBC: \"We're walking out to support colleagues in any workplace that have suffered harassment and to ensure that perpetrators aren't protected or rewarded.\" What led to the walkout? Anger has boiled over in the past week since the New York Times alleged that one high-profile executive received a $90m (£69m) payout after he left the firm, despite what Google considered a “credible” allegation of sexual misconduct. Andy Rubin, known as the “creator” of the Android mobile operating system, denies the accusation. On Tuesday, another executive - this time from the company’s X research lab - also resigned. Richard DeVaul was said to have made unwanted advances towards a woman who was recently interviewed for a job in which she would have reported to him. Mr DeVaul has not commented since his resignation, but has in the past called the incident an \"error of judgement\". At least 48 other employees were sacked for sexual harassment without receiving a payout, Mr Pichai told staff. He admitted the New York Times’ report had been \"difficult to read\". What do the employees want? Staff involved in Thursday's walkout left notes on their desks telling colleagues: \"I’m not at my desk because I’m walking out with other Googlers and contractors to protest sexual harassment, misconduct, lack of transparency, and a workplace culture that’s not working for everyone.\" They have also made formal demands to Google’s management. They are: What is forced arbitration? Forced arbitration, a common contract clause for Silicon Valley workers, demands any disputes are dealt with internally rather than through other methods such as the courts. Critics of forced arbitration say it is used to not only protect the reputations of both the company and the accused, but also to silence victims who are unable to appeal against decisions or take further action. \"Employees have raised constructive ideas for how we can improve our policies and our processes going forward,” said Mr Pichai in a statement on Wednesday evening. \"We are taking in all their feedback so we can turn these ideas into action.\" What else are Google employees angry about? Co-ordinated action of this scale is unprecedented at a Silicon Valley company, but follows a trend for increasingly impassioned employee activism. \"Women are fed up, and I don't think it's just women,” said Prof Kellie McElhaney, from the Haas School of Business. \"There are a lot of ‘manbassadors' out there who are equally as fed up and using their positions of power and voice, which can cost Google money. I think you have to hit these companies where it hurts. \"I think it empowers other Google offices when women and men are watching this happen, that they can do a similar action that's not just sitting by or making comments to one another or sharing emails.\" In the past year, Google employees have spoken out strongly against the company’s work with the US Department of Defense, as well as plans to re-enter the Chinese market with a search product. The Tech Workers Coalition, a San Francisco-based advocacy group, said the dispute over the treatment of women was just one of several that tech companies need to address. “We stand in solidarity with the Google workers,” a spokesperson for the group said. “It’s clear the executives won’t do this for us so we’re taking matters into our own hands.\"",

Normal bricks need to be baked in high-temperature kilns that produce large amounts of carbon dioxide. 'As hard as limestone' The engineering students at the University of Cape Town (UCT) have been harvesting urine from men's toilets. After first making a solid fertiliser, the leftover liquid is then used in a biological process \"to grow\" what the university calls \"bio-bricks\". The process is called microbial carbonate precipitation. The bacteria produces an enzyme that breaks down urea in the urine, forming calcium carbonate, which then binds the sand into rock hard, grey bricks. How many loo breaks to make a brick? (These are all rough calculations from the bio-brick and fertiliser urine project.) The strength and shape of the bio-bricks can be altered as required. \"When we first started this process last year, we achieved the same compressibility strength as a 40% limestone brick,\" Dr Randall told the BBC Newsday programme. \"Just a few months later we've doubled that strength now just by changing the material we put into the mould and allowing the bacteria to cement the particles for longer - with zero heat, at room temperature.\" Regular bricks are kiln-fired at temperatures around 1,400C (2,552F), according to the University of Cape Town. But Dr Randall admits their process is much smellier. \"Say you had a pet and it peed in the corner, and you have that strong smell - that's ammonia being released. This process produces ammonia as a by-product,\" he said, adding that this ammonia is then converted into nitrogen-rich fertiliser. You may also like: But after about 48 hours, the bricks completely lose the ammonia smell - and they do not have any health risks either, he said. \"The process we use in stage one kills all harmful pathogens and bacteria because we operate at an extremely high pH that has been shown to kill pretty much everything.\" According to UCT, the concept of using urea to grow bricks was tested in the US some years ago using synthetic urea, which requires a lot of energy to produce. The bricks produced by Dr Randall and his students, Suzanne Lambert and Vukheta Mukhari, use real human urine for the first time, which offers opportunities for recycling waste. They take between four and six days to grow - if you want a stronger brick you leave it for longer.",

It is hoping people will adopt animals or pay for food parcels as overheads for rescue centres remain the same. Gentleshaw Wildlife Centre also in Staffordshire said support was vital. Lesley Smith, whose family run the centre in Eccleshall look after 160 rescue animals including monkeys, reptiles and birds of prey. The centre lost animals in a large fire in 2019 and Mrs Smith said they have been surviving on money leftover from £60,000 raised after the blaze. \"It's a scary time really,\" Mrs Smith, whose husband started the centre in 1993, said. \"We can't cut down on heating or food costs for the animals so we are really relying on support from the public. \"The thought of having someone come in to have to put the animals down in the absolute worst case, is just awful and not worth thinking about - I think we'd all sell a kidney each before that happened.\" James Butler, general manager at Peak Wildlife Park in Leek said bird flu \"came out the blue a month or two ago\" and he has had to cordon off birds and keep them inside. \"It's really, really difficult. Your income goes overnight, but your overheads stay exactly the same... and this time, not knowing how long it will last for, it's really hard to plan for.\" Geoff Grewcock, from Nuneaton and Warwickshire Wildlife Sanctuary, said the situation was heartbreaking, not only having to close but being unable to keep rescuing animals. He transformed his Nuneaton garden into a wildlife sanctuary after he retired as a security guard in 2001. Since then, he and his family and supporters have helped 62,000 animals, using his pension to fund a lot of the costs. He estimated the centre lost £35,000 in 2020 with running costs of £30,000 a year. \"We normally rescue between 200 and 300 animals a year, and last year it was 20 or 30 so it's just heartbreaking to know you can't get out there an help them as you would.\" Follow BBC West Midlands on Facebook, on Twitter, and sign up for local news updates direct to your phone.

The judge said he would recommend Indian-born Ravi, who was convicted in March, should not be deported. Tyler Clementi, 18, killed himself days after he was filmed kissing another man in a dorm room in September 2010. The trial - which prompted comment from President Barack Obama, and anti-bullying measures - made front-page headlines nationally. 'Cold-hearted violation' As he handed down sentence on Monday in New Brunswick, New Jersey, Judge Glenn Berman said he had not heard Ravi apologise once, adding that Clementi's own words - \"wildly inappropriate\" - best described his actions. The judge added that he did not believe Ravi had acted out of hate for Clementi, but said he had been guilty of \"colossal insensitivity\". He also berated Ravi for attempting to cover-up the crime, including deleting text messages, tweets and trying to influence a witness. As well as the jail term, Ravi is to serve a three-year period of probation and complete 300 hours of community service. He must also pay $10,000 (£6,330) to a state-licensed community organisation that helps victims of bias crimes, and complete a programme on cyber-bullying and alternative lifestyles. Judge Berman said part of the reason he was not recommending deportation was because the man who was videotaped with Clementi - known as \"MB\" during the trial - had written a letter asking that Ravi not be deported. Ravi is an Indian citizen, but has lived in New Jersey for most of his life. A gay-rights organisation in New Jersey said on Monday they were disappointed with the sentence, although they believed that 10 years would have been too much. \"This was not merely a childhood prank gone awry,\" Garden State Equality chairman Steven Goldstein said in a statement. \"This was not a crime without bias.\" Before sentence was passed, Joe Clementi, the father of Tyler Clementi, read a statement to the court, saying the impact of what Ravi did had been \"severe, shocking and lasting\". Mr Clementi said his son, a \"kind, gentle soul\", had been the victim of a \"cold-hearted violation\". His wife, Jane Clementi, wept as she read out a statement to the court saying that she was very close to her son, but \"even I had no idea of the despair and torment Tyler must have been feeling\". 'Demonised' Ravi wept as his mother, Sabitha Ravi, gave a tearful statement to the court, saying how she had watched powerless as her son was \"ripped apart\" by the media. Ravi's lawyer, Steven Altman, said his client had been \"demonised by the gay community\" and that the case was \"being treated as if it's a murder case\". Last week, Ravi's supporters rallied outside the New Jersey legislative building, arguing that the state's hate-crime laws had been used on someone who was not hateful. Ravi was found guilty of 15 counts, including invasion of privacy, but was cleared on parts of the bias intimidation charges. Before the trial, prosecutors offered him a plea deal with no prison time, but Ravi declined. The trial heard that Ravi used a webcam in his dormitory room to film Clementi kissing another man. Prosecutors said about half a dozen students saw the video. Ravi then tweeted about it and tried to catch Clementi in the act again two days later. Days later, Clementi leaped to his death, posting a status update on Facebook saying: \"Jumping off the gw bridge, sorry.\" Prosecutors were barred by the court from arguing that the filming had led directly to Clementi's death, while defence lawyers were prevented from saying Clementi had killed himself for other reasons. Clementi had requested his room be changed before his death, according to testimony, and he looked at Ravi's Twitter page 38 times during the last two days of his life. One of Ravi's tweets said: \"Roommate asked for the room till midnight. I went into molly's room and turned on my webcam. I saw him making out with a dude. Yay.\" Ravi did not testify during the four-week trial, nor at the sentencing hearing.",

Businesses in Newtown were named top in Wales of those most actively embracing the web. Powys is to receive superfast broadband which is being rolled out in 2013/14. The county was announced in January as one of 14 areas that would benefit from the \"superfast\" connection over the next couple of years. Meanwhile, the European Commission confirmed in March it was investing £90m to bring superfast broadband to west Wales and the valleys. The aim is to get better speeds to 96% of Welsh homes and businesses. It follows criticism over the years about broadband \"notspots\" in rural areas like Powys. A \"notspot\" centres on the distance residents are from their telephone exchange. Graham Morgan, director of the Newtown-based Mid Wales Chamber of Commerce, said: \"Businesses I've spoken to were somewhat surprised that Newtown had won this accolade. \"The Welsh government hope to have superfast broadband in place by 2013 or 2014 as Newtown's been identified as a priority area. \"The eTowns status is good news for those businesses looking to relocate to cheaper premises knowing that Newtown is actively embracing the web.\" Newtown finished top in Wales in the Google eTowns award and 11th in Britain. Dan Cobley, managing director at Google UK, said: \"The internet is going to contribute massively towards our future economic growth, and many businesses rely on the web to grow. \"These eTown awards are designed to recognise and reward those areas leading the way forward in e-commerce, and Newtown should be extremely proud to be one of the UK's top e-commerce towns.\" Montgomeryshire MP Glyn Davies said Newtown was proud of its Google eTown award. \"The internet is going to play a key role in Newtown's economic growth, helping local businesses and entrepreneurs thrive, and contributing overall to the wider British economy,\" he said. 'Chief barrier' In 2007, regeneration group Mid Wales Partnership said black holes in rural Wales' broadband network were putting it in danger of falling behind the rest of the UK. It called for \"urgent planning and investment\" to improve high speed internet connection. In 2010 an interactive map from the media regulator Ofcom showed much of Wales had the worse broadband provision in the UK. The Welsh government launched a scheme that year to help rural communities tackle broadband \"notspots\". Its broadband improvement project offered up to £1,000 to buy an alternative if they only have a dial-up-speed connection. In 2011, Ben Underwood, director of the Country Land and Business Association in Wales, said a lack of broadband was the \"chief barrier\" to companies seeking to set up in rural Wales.

While some priority groups have seen almost total vaccine coverage others appear to remain lower. According to the latest Public Health Scotland data, 86.6% of people in JCVI category 6 - which covers people aged 16 to 64 with underlying health conditions - have had their first dose. This is a large group of more than 660,000 people, which means more than 88,000 have not yet had a first dose. The figures also show that about 33,000 people aged 50 to 54 (JCVI group 9) have yet to receive a jab. This is about 9% of the age group. Some of these people could be in both categories. Although these figures are lower than the remarkably high rates for older people, they are still much higher than vaccination targets for most vaccinations including the annual seasonal flu jab. For comparison, the uptake target for the flu jab in people over 65 is 75% and this year it managed 79%. The Public Health Scotland figures for Covid vaccinations suggest that of the 1.35 million people in Scotland aged over 60, just 7,500 people have not had their first dose. That is about five people in every 1,000. Covid vaccine coverage in some JCVI groups actually exceeded initial estimates, with 361,028 front-line health staff receiving the jab despite only 230,000 being thought to qualify when the figures were first announced in December. However, take-up among some front-line social care staff appears to be low at just 82.2%. Public Health Scotland, using the Scottish Social Services Council staff register, estimated the number of staff in this sector to be 96,936. If that figure was correct it would suggest that 17,000 social care staff have not taken up the vaccine offer. How does the Scottish rate compare with England and Wales? The latest weekly figures from NHS England show a similar pattern to Scotland. Take-up among the older age groups is generally very high - above 95%. The 50 to 54 age group is slightly lower at 88.8%. In England, just 80% of JCVI category 6 people - those under 65 with an underlying condition or unpaid carers - have received their first dose of the vaccine. While rates for social care workers were down at 80.4% in elderly care homes and even lower for other care staff. The figures in Wales were similar but slightly lower with just 91.2% of those aged 60 to 64 taking the first dose, 88.6% of those aged 55 to 59 and 86% of those 50 to 54-year-olds.

So too were the British and American aid workers and journalists David Haines, Steven Sotloff, Kayla Mueller, Peter Abdurrahman Kassig and Alan Henning. Mr Cantlie's fate is still unknown. IS forced him to appear in its propaganda videos, criticising the West in what appeared to be scripted addresses to the camera. But he has not been seen since 2016. Two of the alleged members of the gang dubbed \"The Beatles\", Alexanda Kotey and El Shafee Elsheikh, were captured in 2018. Since then, they have been in a legal limbo but recent developments in the US mean the way is now clear, in theory, for their trial to go ahead in the US. For the first time, Mr Cantlie's sister Jessica Pocock has spoken publicly of her eight-year ordeal, telling the BBC of the enormous relief she and the other hostage families feel at finally getting their day in court. \"This\" she tells me, \"is the first really good thing to have come out of this whole situation\". \"It's the best thing that could have happened for us,\" she says. \"We've only ever wanted these two (Kotey and Elsheikh) to face justice.\" She goes on to describe the frustration the families felt as the legal wrangles stretched on for months. \"It became more and more complicated and difficult and we felt, I think, at times, absolutely desperate as to whether the legal system was ever going to be able to bring these two to justice, wherever that might be.\" Is she confidant that the men will get a fair trial in the US? \"I have every confidence they will, yes. All the families of all the American and British people who were taken (hostage) all need nothing less than a fair trial.\" 'Unbelievably difficult' For Jessica, the long wait for justice has been every bit as hard as it has for those whose loved ones were murdered by IS. Mr Cantlie was kidnapped twice, escaping the first time from Syria and returning briefly to Britain. While he was back home the two siblings had a long conversation. \"He felt absolutely that he had to go back to Aleppo to tell the story,\" she says. \"He hadn't managed to tell it when he was first kidnapped and he felt that it was his duty to go back.\" Mr Cantlie's last known appearance was in an IS propaganda video from Mosul, where the group was using him in an attempt to convey the impression it was still in control, despite its mounting military setbacks. For Jessica, it was particularly tough to see her brother in such circumstances. \"It was surreal,\" she says. \"It gave us a proof of life at that moment but then five minutes later it was no longer really valid. \"It felt unbelievably difficult to see somebody that you love so much on a screen and not be able to talk to them or engage with them, and not to know if you're ever going to see them for real again.\" Mr Cantlie has not been seen since that video. Many of the other hostages were killed by their captors in 2014 when IS was at its most powerful. Others were released in exchange for ransoms and they have spoken of a sadistic four-man gang of British jihadists who guarded them. They nicknamed them \"The Beatles\" because of their British accents. Court battle Their infamous ringleader was the former west Londoner Mohammed Emwazi, the black-masked man who appeared in IS beheading videos and known in the media as \"Jihadi John\". He was killed in 2015 in Raqqa in a precision-guided US drone strike. Another gang member Aine Davis was arrested and imprisoned in Turkey. The other two alleged members of the gang, Kotay and ElSheikh, remained at large until they were captured in 2018 by Syrian Kurds fighting IS. The two former Londoners have admitted belonging to IS but have denied the UK and US governments' allegations of torture and murder. America had wanted to put them on trial but was lacking crucial evidence gathered by British intelligence. Earlier, the mother of one of the two suspects won her English court battle to prevent this evidence being transferred to the US on grounds of data protection. The men have been in a legal limbo, held by the US military in Iraq where the US attorney general threatened to hand them over to the courts, renowned for their summary justice and executions. Then came a breakthrough: America undertook not to carry out the death penalty if the men were convicted in a US court. And finally, on Tuesday, England's High Court lifted the ban on evidence being passed to the US. Counter-terrorism officers from the Metropolitan Police duly delivered that evidence in person to the US Embassy in London.",

These should help the screens enhance bright details without the light spilling into surrounding dark areas. Chinese brand TCL unveiled the first TVs to be based on the tech in 2019, and Samsung is rumoured to be readying its own models. LG has promised to show off at least 10 4K and 8K Mini-LED televisions at next year's CES, which is being held as a virtual event, rather than in Las Vegas as normal, because of the coronavirus pandemic. \"[Their] light source, brightness and contrast are far superior to that of conventional LCD televisions,\" it said in a press release. Less blooming LG has said it plans to market the TVs under a new QNED MicroLED banner, adding to an already confusing barrage of acronyms under which the different television manufacturers market their wares. The: LG - the world's second bestselling TV brand after Samsung - has said there will be nearly 30,000 of the tiny LEDs at the back of its largest 86in (218cm) screens. That is vastly more than the dozens of larger LEDs used in budget-priced \"back-lit\" and \"edge-lit\" TVs, or even the hundreds in \"full-array models.\" The LEDs are used to illuminate the screens' colour pixels. The theory is that by having more of them, it is possible to better control which parts of the image are bright and which should remain dim. This should reduce the blooming effect you sometimes get when displaying images such as stars in a night sky or text on a dark background, when the light appears to bleed beyond where it is supposed to. In total, LG says the screens will have up to 2,500 dimming zones, meaning the LEDs will be controlled in clusters of 12 rather than individually. It still will not deliver the deep blacks of OLED, where each pixel self-illuminates. Nor will it match microLED tech, where the diodes are so small they can be assigned to the pixels on a 1:1 basis. But it should be easier to mass produce than either. That, in turn, should mean consumers get better quality reproduction of HDR (high dynamic range)-formatted content than was possible at a lower price point than the other two technologies. HDR allows TVs to display more vivid, life-like images and more striking special effects by taking advantage of modern televisions' higher peak-brightness limits. HDR is typically more noticeable to consumers than the shift to higher-resolution 4K or 8K formats. LG has yet to announce what it will charge for its new screens, but TCL sells its entry-level 55in R635 mini-LED set for $699 (£510). One expert said that at a time when the pandemic has caused people to spend more time at home watching TV, the industry is keen to convince families to upgrade. \"More people are trying to recreate a cinema experience at home,\" said Stuart Miles, founder of the Pocket-lint gadget review site. \"And that appetite will only grow as streaming services, like Disney+ or HBO Max in the States, release films on their platforms at the same time as or instead of at the cinema - plus you have the Olympics next year too. \"So TV-makers want to be able to promise a better experience beyond just having bigger screens, and that's easier to do if they can market themselves as offering a new technology.\" CES runs from 11 to 14 January in 2021 and should feature a range of new televisions and other gadgets from manufacturers large and small.",

            "input": "More than 180 artists have signed an open letter criticising the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). They claim the law benefits companies that \"exploit music for their financial enrichment\", but not artists. One journalist said the music industry was \"making mischief\" to get more money from sites such as YouTube. Falling revenues At the heart of the open letter is a claim that \"music consumption has skyrocketed\" but the money earned by writers and artists has \"plummeted\". Figures from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) show that CD sales in the US fell from $13bn (£9bn) in 1999, to $1.5bn in 2015. Paid music subscriptions and downloads totalled $3.4bn last year, failing to make up the shortfall. The open letter appears to lay the blame on the DMCA, which protects websites from being sued if users upload copyright music. It has been published at a time when the US congress is evaluating the DMCA, and record labels are renegotiating deals with YouTube. The letter has been signed by major record labels and a variety of singers including Cher, Lady Gaga, Engelbert Humperdinck, Britney Spears and Sir Elton John. 'Impossible' The DMCA has a so-called \"safe harbour\" provision that stops websites being held responsible for copyright infringement by their users. A website cannot usually be blamed if its users upload copyright music or videos - as long as the site removes the infringing content when it becomes aware of it. The open letter said musicians did not have the resources to search for copyright infringement and then report it to websites. \"It's impossible for tens of thousands of individual songwriters and artists to muster the resources necessary,\" it said. The letter comes a week after a US federal appeals court ruled that video sharing site Vimeo could not be held responsible for pre-1972 music recordings uploaded to the site by its users. Automatic tools Critics of the open letter have highlighted the fact that some websites already offer tools that can automatically detect copyright infringement. \"YouTube offers sophisticated tools that not only allow the music industry to zap unauthorised videos but, if they choose, to insert ads to make money off them instead,\" wrote law reporter Jeff Roberts in Fortune. YouTube has previously explained that 99.5% of copyright claims on its platform are dealt with automatically, and that in 95% of cases the music industry puts ads on unauthorised uploads rather than blocking them. Facebook has said it is developing its own content detection tools, which are currently available to selected media partners - and there are third party tools such as Kobalt, which record labels can use to trawl social media sites and detect copyright music. \"The bottom line is that the music industry is still coming to terms with how to make up for the loss of CD sales, which provided labels with enormous profit margins they have been unable to reproduce in the digital era,\" wrote Mr Roberts. \"That's a problem for the industry, but not one that will be solved by misguided attacks on YouTube and the DMCA.\" The open letter was printed in a number of publications distributed in Washington DC on Tuesday.",

Those born before 1975 had much more chance of social mobility than those born afterwards, the study says. \"Too many people feel they are being left behind,\" the OECD's chief of staff, Gabriela Ramos, says. The international study, A Broken Social Elevator?, says high earners are getting bigger rewards and consolidating wealth for the next generations. It also says those at the bottom of the ladder are finding it increasingly difficult to help their families catch up - with social mobility declining. Lost age of mobility For those people born between 1955 and 1975, the research says, social mobility was a \"reality\", with people born into low-income families able to move up in terms of education and earnings. But the OECD study suggests that those born afterwards, becoming adults in the 1990s and later, faced \"stagnating\" social mobility. Researchers found a high likelihood of people being \"stuck\" in the income group into which they were born, with those born into poorer families likely to remain poor and those from high-income families going on to become high earners themselves. There was also a trend for middle class families to have slipped further behind the highest paid - and for some to have got much closer to low earners. In the UK, the study found only about a fifth of the children of low-income families went on to become high earners. Almost three-quarters of the children of graduates in the UK went to university - compared with a fifth of children from low-income families. And among the children of parents with manual jobs in the UK, only about a quarter would get managerial jobs. Sir Peter Lampl of the Sutton Trust social mobility charity, said: \"These depressing new findings should be a wake-up call.\" He blamed the UK's poor social mobility on \"rising wage inequality and the relationship between family income and educational attainment\". Global divides There were international differences in strengths and weaknesses in social mobility. Nordic countries tended to have a more level playing field, researchers found, with children's futures less likely to be defined by where they started. In Japan and South Korea, while education is more open and meritocratic, earnings were still likely to reflect background. The United States had slightly higher levels of social mobility than the UK, but there remained strong links between background and future prospects - with only 8% of children from poorer families becoming high earners. The report also raised concerns about inequality in access to health services in the US and its impact on mobility. For the UK, the study says that \"intergenerational mobility is relatively low, particularly in terms of earnings and education\". But the UK was ahead of Germany in overall social mobility. The study found that wealthy families in Germany were particularly likely to pass on their advantages to their children. But poorer German families were held back by persistent levels of long-term unemployment, lack of access to childcare and a school system that tended to keep poorer children in lower-achieving groups. Countries such as Colombia, Brazil and South Africa were among the countries with the widest wealth gaps and lowest chances of social mobility. Invest in training The report says there are actions that could help to promote social mobility, such as: The researchers say that high property prices in the UK are a particular barrier - stopping people from entering the housing market and also discouraging families from moving home to get better jobs. Ms Ramos of the OECD warned of too many families feeling left behind and thinking that \"their children would have too few chances to get ahead\".",

Originally built in the 1840's as a prison, the tower is now owned by the Highland Council. Councillor Thomas Prag said he hoped opening up the tower would help to boost visitors to the city centre. Earlier this year the local authority joined the Scottish government in setting up a working group to look at the castle's future tourism potential. But because the tower is owned by Highland Council it could be opened up to visitors sooner than other parts of the site. Tourism boost In August, Tourism Minister Fergus Ewing said for years people had been calling for the castle to be made into a tourist attraction. Earlier this year the Inverness Courier newspaper started an 'Open the Castle' campaign to support such calls. Chairman of the Development and Infrastructure Committee, Mr Prag said the planning application was \"an important first step towards the exciting project of opening up part of the castle to tourists and to local people. \"Like many others in our city, I have been dreaming of the day we might get to do something like this. \"The tower will be an excellent attraction for tourists and will help to boost visits to the city centre.\"",

The three letters, written to former student Harold Barlow, had been kept by his daughter, Josephine Barlow, and were later discovered by his grandsons. They will feature in a project documenting Hardy and will join other artefacts at Dorset County Museum. Hardy, whose works include Jude the Obscure, Tess of the D'Urbervilles and Far From the Madding Crowd, is one of England's most acclaimed novelists and poets. He was born in Dorset and lived in the county for much of his life before his death in 1928, aged 87. He married Miss Dugdale, who was 39 years younger than him, in 1914, two years after the death of his first wife Emma Lavinia Gifford. 'Genuine love match' Mr Barlow's grandsons, Ian and Colin Nicol, handed the letters to Prof Angelique Richardson of the University of Exeter, who has been leading the project to create a digital database of correspondence relating to the author. She said: \"It is rare to find such significant letters. They give an intimate glimpse into life at Hardy's home, Max Gate, and the loves and losses Florence shared with Hardy. \"It also shows us more about Florence, how self-deprecating she was and how devoted she was to her husband.\" In the first letter, dated 10 February 1914, shortly after Miss Dugdale's marriage to Hardy, she wrote: \"Perhaps you have read, if you have the English papers, that I am now the proud and very happy wife of the greatest living English writer - Thomas Hardy. \"Although he is much older than myself, it is a genuine love match - on my part, at least, for I suppose I ought not to speak for him. \"At any rate I know I have for a husband one of the kindest, most humane men in the world.\" In another letter, she wrote: \"Accounts of me and my portrait have been printed in every paper, I think, in England. \"I have been shown in the Cinematograph, written about all over America and Europe. I am tired of this publicity. I will send you a paper or two I think if you care to see them.\" Hardy's relationship with his first wife formed the background to several of his novels and more than a hundred of his poems but his marriage to Florence Dugdale has not been so well documented. She had met Hardy late in 1905 and in 1910 she typed up a novella, The Maid On The Shore, by Hardy's first wife. Prof Richardson said: \"We are very grateful to Ian and Colin Nicol for sharing these with us and delighted they can now form part of the collection at Dorset Museum, and be seen on the Hardy's Correspondents project website.\" Ian Nicol said: \"I am delighted that the letters are joining the Hardy Collection.

Lyra McKee's friends were present in court, and there was a police presence inside the building, but unlike Mr McIntyre's previous appearance earlier this month, there were no protest outside the building. Most of today's hearing was taken up by a lengthy discussion between the prosecution and defence, which focussed on the images captured on the night Ms McKee was shot. A police officer told the court that they believed a figure, who was seen picking up objects around the time of the journalist's death was Mr McIntyre, and police said he had been identified from images captured earlier that day. However, Mr McIntyre's defence solicitor, Derwin Harvey, vigorously opposed this, adding that the police were relying on an expert to create an \"evidential link\" between the two sets of images. District Judge Barney McElholm said that while there was \"universal condemnation\" of Ms McKee's murder, there was \"no smoking gun\" as such in the case, and that he would be releasing Mr McIntyre on bail.

The 46-year-old said within an hour she had been transported to the hotel, given an en-suite room and a change of clothes. \"It was like something out of a storybook,\" she told BBC Radio 5 Live. \"Can you imagine the insecurity of a doorway with an often-wet sleeping bag, people ignoring as they pass you? \"All of a sudden, you have the security of an en-suite room, clean sheets, clean towels, a TV. It was like something that was on a totally other level of the Richter scale.\" Amanda, a former sex worker who has struggled with drugs problems in the past, is one of about 5,400 people to have been helped by Everyone In, a government-funded scheme designed to get people off the streets and into emergency accommodation amid the pandemic. She said there were various stations set up at the hotel with people on hand to help with things like benefits and medical prescriptions. \"You'd go from one person to another, and by the end of the day you were dizzy with all the help,\" she said. \"That first night, I slept for two days, and had about 15 showers in 24 hours.\" The government distributed over £3.2m to councils in England in March to house homeless people in their areas as the lockdown began. Funding for the emergency Everyone In scheme is to end, sparking concern from homeless charities such as Crisis, which described it as \"completely unacceptable\". The government said it had given councils £3.2bn since March and urged them to keep supporting rough sleepers. A spokesman for the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government said: \"It is simply wrong and misleading to suggest that we have stopped funding to keep rough sleepers off the street. \"We gave councils an initial payment of £3.2m at the start of the pandemic so they could take immediate action and help rough sleepers off the street. \"We have since given councils a further £3.2bn to deal with the immediate pressures they are facing, including supporting rough sleepers.\" Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham said: “Of course, Everyone In was never meant to last forever. \"When it comes to an end we will need funding to ensure vulnerable people are not suddenly left without accommodation.\" Greater Manchester Combined Authority said it would relaunch its own scheme as a successor to Everyone In, called A Bed Every Night, which aims to spend £4.75m and provide 445 beds across all 10 boroughs. Reflecting on the future, Amanda said the assistance she had received had achieved in a few weeks what she thought would only be possible in \"12 to 18 months\". \"We've all got our own stories, but being left alone trying to sort ourselves out, we've gathered momentum. We're finding our own identities now,\" she added. The Riverside Group charity, which works closely with Manchester City Council and organised the support for Amanda, has helped many homeless people staying in hotels.

Deputy First Minister Michelle O'Neill and Finance Minister Conor Murphy deny breaching social-distancing rules in attending the funeral on 30 June. During a two-hour debate at Stormont, Ms O'Neill repeated that she was sorry grieving families had been hurt. The deputy first minister said it was not her intention to hurt anybody. However, she maintained she had adhered to the coronavirus guidelines. \"I'm satisfied that I did act responsibly,\" she said. \"At no stage did I seek to give offence to anyone, including this chamber, nor would I ever seek to do so.\" She added it was \"unfortunate this matter has divided the executive and the assembly that many of us have worked so hard to restore\". Members of the other parties accused Ms O'Neill and Mr Murphy of undermining the executive's message on Covid-19. DUP assembly Christopher Stalford said her credibility had been \"shot to bits\" and her party was behaving in a manner which would shame the Trump administration. Speaking for the Alliance Party, Kellie Armstrong said an apology for the ministers' attendance would not have been enough and she does not believe people can trust executive messaging again on Covid-19 because of their actions. Ulster Unionist Party (UUP) leader Steve Aiken told the chamber if Northern Ireland was a \"normal democracy\" the ministers would have \"done the decent thing and resigned\". Where does it go now? Analysis by Gareth Gordon, BBC News NI Political Correspondent Predictably this motion calling for Michelle O'Neill and Conor Murphy to apologise passed comfortably. Just as predictably the other parties did not get the apology they wanted though the deputy first minister again said sorry to grieving families whose hurt has increased because of the events of the past week. So where does it go now? The Democratic Unionist Party has made clear they have no intention of bringing down the executive, especially during the coronavirus pandemic. With all the other parties lined up against them on this issue, Sinn Féin are still in an uncomfortable position. For the foreseeable future the executive's united front lies in tatters. Daniel McCrossan said assembly members had to practise \"what we preach\". The SDLP assembly member added that his party had wanted to pay a bigger tribute to long-standing MLA John Dallat, who died in May, but chose not to because of the coronavirus guidance. He said to many people there was a \"hierarchy of pain\". Meanwhile, Belfast City Council has strongly denied allegations 61 people attended Mr Storey's cremation. The claim was made by UUP Belfast city councillor Jim Rodgers. On Tuesday, the council apologised over how it dealt with Mr Storey's family at Roselawn Crematorium compared to other families, including allowing 30 people to attend. In a statement issued on Tuesday evening, the DUP's group on the council called for an emergency meeting on Friday and an independent investigation into the events. Ms O'Neill has already apologised \"for grieving families experiencing more hurt\" following her attendance at the funeral and said criticism of Sinn Féin's conduct was \"political point-scoring\". She was part of the funeral cortege, attended the Requiem Mass and was present for an oration at Milltown Cemetery, but is not believed to have been present for the cremation at Roselawn. Mrs Long told the BBC's Good Morning Ulster programme: \"We recognise and we welcome the fact that Michelle O'Neill has acknowledged that hurt has been caused to those who had to say their farewells to their loved ones in a very different manner. \"She has yet to acknowledge the harm that has been done to the reputation of the executive and to her own standing.\" At Mr Storey's funeral, a number of pallbearers were pictured carrying his coffin, including former Sinn Féin President Gerry Adams and North Belfast MLA Gerry Kelly. New guidance on funerals makes it clear that coffin lifts are not recommended unless all pallbearers are from the same household. It says \"it is unlikely that pallbearers would be able to maintain a 2m distance from each other, and such practices should not be permitted\".

She's strikingly pretty. In her 20s Sarah, who has learning disabilities, left home to have her first taste of independence. She moved into a flat - the council call it supported living - where there was help on hand during the day. It was a big step for her. When a man who lived in another flat and also has learning disabilities asked Sarah out, she was excited. She says she \"wanted something happy to happen\". \"He took me out for meals sometimes. He even wanted to get married to me or I wanted to get married to him,\" she explains, \"he even proposed to me twice in one evening in two different clubs.\" But Sarah explains that while he was nice to her in public, when they were alone together in his flat he could be unkind, shouting at her and throwing things. Sarah's family became worried that her new boyfriend was controlling her and her mother noticed she had bruises. One of the hardest things for Sarah was navigating their sexual relationship. She says sometimes she felt she had to be intimate with her boyfriend, even when she didn't want to. \"We would be going to bed and having this and that and when I would say can you get off please or I don't feel like it, he would say don't you love me, and make me feel guilty,\" she says. \"And then when we were having our session sometimes my head would bang on the wall and my mum saw lots of bruises and when I was having a bath in his flat he would want to take pictures.\" She says she thought she was in love and feels he played on her emotions, even though he, too, had a learning disability. Sarah didn't want to tell her mother everything that was happening, because she was afraid she would get into trouble. Her boyfriend said her family didn't want her to be happy and, feeling as though she was \"in a trance\", she ignored her family's warnings. Sarah's mother \"Chrissy\" asked social services and the police for help, but they said they couldn't really do anything because Sarah was an adult. \"All the way through the supported living whenever we had reviews, I'd say, 'she needs help with relationships,'\" Chrissy explains. \"But the reply was always that's she's an adult and that she's got her own choices to make.\" Respond is a therapy and advocacy charity for people with learning disabilities who've experienced abuse or trauma. Chief executive Dr Noelle Blackman says the welcome move away from living in institutions or care homes, to independent living, carries risks. \"We want people to live normal, ordinary lives, but the way that we do that is actually by providing very little support. You find people with learning disabilities who have difficulty in keeping themselves safe, given two or three hours of support a week,\" she says. She says that people with learning disabilities are often living in blocks of flats in gang areas. \"It's like walking around with a label saying 'I'm a vulnerable person'. We're in danger of being neglectful and not making sure that we're helping people to live safely.\" Chrissy had to wait for Sarah to cry for help, and one night she did. She asked her parents to take her home but the man she left wrote to her, and she started seeing him again, in secret. She says she didn't know what to do, and was very upset and confused. She even emailed strangers on the internet asking for advice. Then one day she poured her heart out to a taxi driver. The police believe when he realised Sarah was vulnerable, the driver deliberately groomed her. She says took her out for a drink and told her she was lovely, and so pretty he couldn't understand why her boyfriend was treating her badly. He said he would drive Sarah home but he pulled over in a lay-by and sexually assaulted her. The driver was arrested, questioned and then released. He said Sarah had consented to being touched. But Sarah's mother says the police said they didn't believe that. But, without DNA there wasn't enough evidence to charge him. Mencap says people with learning disabilities may be up to four times more likely to suffer sexual abuse. The Crown Prosecution Service doesn't record how many people are prosecuted for sexual offences against people with learning disabilities. But a study by Mencap in 2001 revealed there were around 1,400 cases a year, but only 1% resulted in a conviction. The Crown Prosecution Service says there are special measures available to help vulnerable people give evidence in court, for example speaking behind a screen, or recording it in advance on video. Intermediaries can help a witness who finds communication difficult. Neither of the men who exploited Sarah have been charged. It took a long time for her to recover but now she helps run sessions for people with learning disabilities, spreading the message about the dangers of sexual exploitation, and how to form positive relationships. And Sarah now has someone good in her life. She has a boyfriend who loves her and looks after her. Their date tonight is a special occasion. It's the anniversary of their engagement.

Two dogs, from South Wales Police, were seen with their handlers inside the second search site, where officers concentrated on a smaller area marked out with police tape. 'Several suspects' Yellow and white police tape had earlier been stretched around the area and had been guarded by armed local police. The area included a plot of land with vegetables growing in the middle and a number of dilapidated outbuildings around it. The BBC understands the land is owned by a construction company based near the Portuguese capital Lisbon and has been left as scrubland after permission to build on it was turned down. A source said Portuguese police had searched the land in 2007 - after Madeleine disappeared - and had visited the site \"four or five times\". It comes after a week-long search of another site - a 15-acre area of scrubland in Praia da Luz - was completed at the weekend and police cordons were removed on Sunday night. Portuguese police have said nothing of interest was found during last week's search. However, they announced \"several suspects\" were likely to be interviewed in the \"very near future\". UK police had already asked authorities if they could speak to three \"people of interest\", the BBC understands. 'Encouraged' British officers will be allowed to sit in, but cannot intervene in proceedings, Portuguese officials have said. The search resumed on Wednesday after a two-day pause because of a Portuguese national holiday. A variety of techniques, including the use of ground-penetrating radar and sniffer dogs, have already been employed by the team of officers from Portugal and the UK. It is the most significant police activity in Praia da Luz since Madeleine went missing seven years ago. Her parents, Kate and Gerry McCann, had been eating dinner with friends a short distance away when the three-year-old disappeared from their Ocean Club holiday apartment. The McCanns, from Rothley, Leicestershire, have said they have been \"encouraged\" by the progress made by police. The search in Praia da Luz comes after the Met launched a fresh investigation into Madeleine's disappearance last July, codenamed Operation Grange.",

            "input": "By Chris BaraniukTechnology of Business reporter But that suited him just fine. He wanted to take photographs without people getting in the way. Mr Fletcher takes thousands upon thousands of images of a façade or area and later uses computer software to stitch these images together as a 3D model. The process is called photogrammetry and while he's been dabbling in it for many years, he's been able to indulge his hobby to an even greater extent during the pandemic. \"It's a lot easier to take photographs without disturbing people, I just go for long walks around the city finding things,\" he says. From ornate Victorian buildings, to the Southbank skatepark's graffiti-rich concrete pillars, Mr Fletcher's collection of digital landmarks is as diverse as London's cityscape itself. He publishes several new models online every week. Photogrammetry has been around for more than 150 years in various forms and has been used before by cultural institutions and private firms as a means of preserving artefacts of historical importance, including those at risk of destruction in war zones. But the dwindling cost of digital cameras and the availability of software that automatically turns photographs into 3D reconstructions has meant amateurs are increasingly taking up this digital preservation as a hobby. There are many like Mr Fletcher, keen to capture historical sites and urban environments for posterity. And once a 3D model has been made, it can be used for all manner of things. Mr Fletcher, who works as a digital artist in the video games industry, says others sometimes download his models and insert them into games. His Southbank skatepark was quickly turned into a virtual reality hangout space and game location for people to play in, for example. He publishes his models freely online so they can be used for creative projects. But this year, he's also been contacted by people who say they enjoy looking at his models simply because they represent locations they used to pass daily on their way to work - but which they haven't been to for months due to Covid-19. Mr Fletcher's own motivation is to make a record of what things currently look like. Sometimes, museums or heritage sites ask him to make models for them, which he often does for free. More Technology of Business Each library of photos of a particular subject takes a day or two to be processed automatically on his PC. He'll then spend a few more days correcting errors or adjusting jagged edges and imperfections. Should the building or object in question be removed or damaged in the future, he adds, at least his scan will have preserved what it looked like. \"I don't think my scans are ever perfect,\" says Mr Fletcher. \"But… at least it's been recorded in some way in 3D.\" Another enthusiast who hopes to capture the world around him via photogrammetry is Daniel Muirhead, who lives in Fife, in Scotland. He's made digital models of buildings in Dundee, Edinburgh and Arbroath among other places. \"My ultimate goal is to have a photorealistic, high-quality, full-scale reproduction of all the urban centres in Scotland,\" he says. His hobby gives him an excuse to get out and explore while being creative, he adds, though during lockdown in the spring he had to make do with scanning items in his flat - including biscuits and snacks. These provided mildly comical subjects but ones that also presented good technical challenges for modelling because they were small and detailed, he says. Take this slice of crispbread, for instance. Its craggy, pock-marked surface and encrusted grains are suitable for photogrammetry because the software that stitches photos together often struggles to do so accurately if the subject is smooth or shiny. Mr Muirhead says he hopes his scans of historical sites and interesting buildings will encourage people to visit new places. This could indeed have the desired effect, says Ardern Hulme-Beaman, who uses photogrammetry in his research at the University of Liverpool. He points to the museums that have put 3D scans of artefacts online - such as the London Museum, for instance. Dr Hulme-Beaman says these collections often prompt people to make a personal visit in person, and he is impressed with the standard of the 3D captures made by enthusiasts like Mr Fletcher and Mr Muirhead. \"Some of the quality of the models is just, it's through the roof,\" he says. His archaeology colleges at Liverpool University have been using 3D scans of artefacts in online teaching sessions during the pandemic. Usually students would be able to directly handle these objects, but with Covid-19 restrictions in place the digital alternatives are \"the next best thing\", he explains. It's a view shared by Abby Crawford of Sketchfab, a website where modellers can share their creations. She herself has helped a teacher friend of hers design a project for archaeology students, featuring 3D models of Roman artefacts that were made by hobbyists and others. Dr Crawford, who worked with Mr Fletcher on an article about his 3D models, thinks we will see more of the world preserved digitally in 3D due to Covid: \"2020 has been a catalyst for people to digitise more, and appreciate the things that have been digitised that they can't see in person.\"",

These databases have been compiled by phone apps that promise to block spam calls and let people \"reverse-look up\" calls from numbers they do not recognise. But it appears many of the names and numbers have been gathered without their owners' knowledge. The apps, which include Truecaller, Sync.me and CM Security, ask users to upload their phone's contact lists when they install them. That means they end up with huge databases - one app claims to have two billion numbers while another claims more than a billion. These can then be searched to connect any number with a name, although you cannot put in a name and get a number. Searches can be conducted on the app provider's website without even installing the software. The issue has been highlighted by Factwire, an investigative journalism organisation that found the numbers of leading Hong Kong lawmakers had been stored in the systems. Celebrity calls The BBC has found that many British numbers are also listed - including that of Mr Cameron, Mr Corbyn, Transport Secretary Chris Grayling, the Olympic diver Tom Daley and the music producer Pete Waterman. We had those numbers already, as did Hong Kong-based Factwire when it conducted its searches. Many numbers appear to be stored in the databases without the knowledge or consent of their owners. For example, we found the number of the security researcher Rik Ferguson of Trend Micro in the database of Truecaller, which is based in Sweden. He told us he had not installed the app and had not consented to having his number stored. He described the app as \"highly deceptive\" and questioned whether it broke data protection regulations. \"Data can only be collected for specific, explicitly stated and legitimate purposes, may not be kept for a longer period than is necessary and crucially only with the explicit and informed consent of the data subject,\" he said. Consent required There is also concern about the security of the data. In 2013 Truecaller suffered a data breach, admitting that it had fallen victim to a cyber-attack but insisting that no sensitive information had been exposed. Truecaller told the BBC that it ensured strict protection of user data, which was safely stored in Sweden. The company said it did not share any information with external organisations and in a statement said: \"Truecaller is not in violation of the data protection laws in Sweden, nor across the EU as a whole.\" We asked the Information Commissioner, Britain's data protection regulator, about Truecaller. The ICO told us: \"UK data protection law says businesses are required to process data fairly and lawfully. We're asking questions on behalf of UK citizens and are following up with the Swedish authorities.\" The security blogger Graham Cluley, whose mobile number is stored by one of the apps, says everyone needs to be more careful about what they share: \"If you upload your address book, you're not just putting your own privacy at risk - but the privacy of everybody else in that address book.\" Most of the apps mention in their terms and conditions that users should have permission from their contacts before sharing their data. One of the apps, CM Security, has now halted its reverse-look up function. All of them say users can opt out if they do not want to have their numbers stored. Additional reporting by Helier Cheung",

Glasgow rose 22 places to share 117th position with St Andrews, which slipped back nine places. Aberdeen dropped 12 places to 188 but Dundee re-entered the top 200 at 196th. Lists like this do not provide a definitive guide to which universities are the best - and do not suggest the degree a student gets from one institution is better than the one they might get at another - but they do give an indication of their international reputation. The Times Higher Education World University Rankings claim to be the most comprehensive, carefully calibrated and highly respected of global league tables. Tuition fees They use 13 separate performance indicators to examine a university's strengths in areas such as the quality of its teaching, research and international outlook. Scotland has more institutions in the top 200 per head of population than any other country. The Republic of Ireland has just two top 200 institutions - and neither makes the top 100. Critics had feared Scottish universities might lose out because Scottish students do not pay tuition fees. The concern was that the institutions would lose out financially and that this, in turn, could lead to a \"brain drain\" of the best academics and students to the rest of the UK. The latest rankings - and other similar research - are likely to be used by universities and the Scottish government's supporters to argue that these fears have proved unfounded. However others might note that three of the five Scottish institutions fell down the list. The United States dominated the table with 77 of the top 200 places. The UK remains Europe's strongest representative with 31 universities - including the Scottish five - in the top 200. Universities Scotland, which represents the collective interests of all of Scotland's universities, said the table demonstrates the country has one of the strongest higher education systems in the world. Director Alastair Sim said: \"Every Scottish institution is engaged in world-leading research, uses innovative learning and teaching methods, and looks to make a strong contribution locally, nationally and internationally. \"The continued success of our universities - in a fiercely competitive international higher education marketplace - is crucial to Scotland's success. \"Our universities make an important contribution to Scotland's economy by delivering significant returns on public investment, attracting international students and inward investment, creating and supporting Scottish businesses and jobs, and producing highly-skilled graduates with the best employment prospects in the UK. \"This is a contribution that has to be protected and grown in order to achieve our ambitions for a successful sector and country.\" Scottish Education Secretary Michael Russell said: \"Scottish universities are known at home and abroad for their excellence and this is highlighted by the fact that five of our universities feature in these international rankings. \"Scotland has the most universities per head of population which clearly shows we continue to excel and build on our unrivalled record of success. \"Taken together with the recent QS ratings, it demonstrates that our substantial investment in Higher Education - over £1bn annually - is paying off and most importantly, delivering exceptional opportunities for students and employers. \"Earlier this year we announced additional funding, based on the levels of world leading research.

The decline has been particularly dramatic in the past two years. Media reports have raised questions about the safety of home births. Some experts say these are scare stories though. On a maternity ward in a big Amsterdam hospital, the OLVG, health journalist Hester van Yperen is proudly holding her son. He was born by Caesarian section three days earlier. The operation was planned because the baby was in the breech position. 'Too risky' Hester, 37, has reported on the safety of home births for the Dutch TV channel, RTL. From her hospital bed, she told me why she'd never wanted to give birth at home. She said: \"Dutch women grow up thinking home birth is good for you, and that it's part of mother nature. \"But I didn't consider it at all. I think it's too risky. If something is wrong, it's better to be in hospital.\" The Dutch government has described as \"worrying\" the fact that the rate of death among newborn babies is higher than in other European countries. The health minister said recently that obstetric care needed to improve, and there was sometimes \"insufficient communication\" between professionals. Some doctors say women are choosing hospital birth because they want a full range of pain relief and quicker deliveries. In the peaceful commuter town of Soest, it is easy to find women who hold dear the Dutch culture of a high rate of home birth. Eke Ut Mannetje has delivered all three of her children at home. Eke said: \"You have all the bacteria and ill people in hospital. Emotionally, you want to hide in surroundings that you know and have comfort when giving birth. For me, being at home was perfect. \"The birth of my first daughter, Sient, who's now seven, went really quickly. We lived on a fourth floor home in Amsterdam at the time. \"The midwife had to run to get to me in time. We lived close to the hospital - but she said if there were complications, I'd have to stay horizontal and the firemen would have to get me out of the window. I was glad that wasn't the case!\" 'One big disaster' Christine Coenen delivered her daughters Fean, 10, and six-year-old Do in hospital - although she would have preferred home birth. It was what her own mother had done with 10 children. But Do was three weeks late in arriving. Christine was suddenly rushed to hospital with contractions. The placenta was late in being delivered, and she lost a lot of blood. Christine said: \"There is no guarantee you won't have complications at home - but I know from experience that there's also no guarantee you won't have complications in hospital either. \"What happened to me was one big disaster. It's not nice being driven to hospital while having contractions and being in pain.\" One unique feature of the Dutch system is a network of maternity nurses called Kraamhulp. They assist midwives during the birth, help new mothers begin breastfeeding and provide vital back-up during the crucial first week with maternity care and even housework. One of them, Sylvia Dorrestein, told me: \"It's emotional and intensive but also a really nice job. I've been doing this for 15 years. \"You have to learn how to raise a child in the home - not in hospital.\" But critics of the system say it has been too hesitant in considering risk. The charge is being led by Professor Gerry Visser, an obstetrician at Utrecht Medical Centre. He said: \"There's been this mentality of 'don't be too aggressive - they're healthy women - it can't be too serious'. Generally that's correct - but not always. \"The rate of intervention here is too low. We fell asleep. And now the higher mortality data has given us something of a crisis.\" Unfairly blamed Last year in the Netherlands, there were around 1,700 stillbirths and deaths among newborn babies. Everyone agrees that figure is too high, and that Dutch midwives and doctors should work more closely together. But are home births being unfairly blamed? Professor Simone Buitendijk leads midwives' training and researches the Dutch maternity system and international mortality rates. She is dismayed at the recent drop in home births. She said: \"Thirty of those 1,700 deaths were after the mother started to give birth at home - and not all of those 30 are avoidable. \"Home births are safe. Even if we totally abolished them, we wouldn't make a small dent in the mortality statistics. \"It's very short-sighted. I think it would be really sad if choice disappears - and there's a real risk of this happening in the Netherlands. \"It has nothing to do with a painting over the bed, or a nice soft light in the corner. Home birth for women is the best possible way of being properly in control. It's so elementary and important.\"",

Right now, Mr Poroshenko's self-named political bloc is leading in the opinion polls and may secure an absolute majority. But it is equally possible that, instead of helping to introduce calm, the new parliament will become a centre of dissent and turmoil - and provide a springboard to groups which will challenge Mr Poroshenko's political programme, both inside the legislature and out on the streets. The situation throughout the country remains brittle. The economy is disintegrating and the Ukrainian government is faced with a mountain of debt. A dispute over gas prices with Moscow means the country could suffer through a severe energy shortage this winter. What's more, the war in the east could escalate at any moment. Right now, though fighting continues, it's percolating at a relatively lower level, giving Mr Poroshenko just enough breathing space to forge ahead with his political plans. Rebel commanders in the past days, though, have raised fears of a return to full-scale combat. The \"prime minister\" of the self-declared Donetsk People's Republic, Alexander Zakharchenko, has been quoted as saying his army could soon mount a campaign to take three towns in the region, Sloviansk, Kramatorsk and Mariupol. \"We intend to take them, to return them to us. So we don't exclude there could be heavy military operations,\" Zakharchenko said, according to Interfax news agency. Later, however, he said he was misquoted and meant the cities would be taken through \"peaceful means\". White supremacist Even if the \"ceasefire\" manages to hold, the war in the east will nevertheless dictate developments back in Kiev. The death toll continues to mount - more than 350 people have died since the truce was declared on 5 September - with fierce battles raging in a number of locations, especially around the charred steel husk of Donetsk's main airport. Only a handful of election districts in the warring regions of Donetsk and Luhansk will be open. It also remains to be seen how many people will have the courage to vote or the desire, given the bitterness among a large part of the population, after months of shelling. But once the deputies have taken their seats, the battle may shift inside the walls of the parliament. Conceivably, nine political parties could pass the 5% barrier and enter parliament through proportional representation, based on their overall showing in the vote. Half of parliament's 450 seats are chosen through party lists and half elected directly through single-mandate districts. Of these, besides President Poroshenko's bloc, three seem to have the highest chance: Prime Minister Arseniy Yatseniuk's People's Front, ex-PM Yulia Tymoshenko's Fatherland party, and populist leader Oleh Lyashko's Radical Party. Parties from the far right, pro-European centre, and the remnants of the once-ruling Party of Regions could also cross the minimum threshold. It is still unclear how any of these parties, or the over-sized egos that run them, will behave once in parliament. Moreover, many of the new faces are completely unknown quantities - such as the numerous paramilitary commanders on various parties' tickets, or Andrei Biletsky, a white supremacist commander running for Arseniy Yatseniuk's People's Front. Social pain The mood in the country is darkening. Eight months after the February revolution, a feeling is spreading that nothing has changed. Corruption is rampant, political and economic reforms are just being discussed, and the same faces populate the political elite. Many question whether Mr Poroshenko, a billionaire with deeply vested business interests, truly wants to transform Ukraine into something more transparent and democratic. If Mr Poroshenko does introduce reforms, many could initially cause profound social pain - such as raising the domestic price for gas. As necessary as this may be - in order to eliminate corruption in the gas industry and a massive budgetary black hole - it will unquestionably create an outcry. The war in the east is another flashpoint. Mr Poroshenko's peace plan is highly unpopular. Many fear it has rewarded the militants and Russia, which has by all appearances supported the insurgency with weapons, organisation and troops, by creating two de facto independent states. There is heavy criticism of the government's overall conduct of the war. Although the military seems in better shape than in the first disastrous days of the war, it is still badly equipped, and, according to many fighters, badly led. For anyone who wants to mount an anti-government or anti-Poroshenko campaign, therefore, the potential pressure points are many. And many in the new parliament may seize the opportunity, either because of true concern for Ukrainians, or out of personal ambition.",

They shot at buildings and threw handmade bombs into the compound. It has not been confirmed how the ambassador, J Christopher Stevens, and the others died. Protesters against the film also attacked the US embassy in Cairo on Tuesday night. 'Asphyxiated' Speaking in the Rose Garden at the White House, President Obama told reporters the attack would not break the bonds between the US and the new Libyan government. But he added: \"Make no mistake - justice will be done.\" The US is deploying a marine anti-terrorism team to Libya to bolster security after the attack, a US defence source told reporters in Washington. Libya's interim leader, Mohammed Magarief, apologised to the US over the killings, which he called \"cowardly criminal acts\". Reports say a militia known as the Ansar al-Sharia brigade was involved in the attack, but the group has denied the claim, the BBC's Rana Jawad in Tripoli says. Reports suggest that Ambassador Stevens and his staff went to the consulate in an attempt to evacuate the site after it was attacked. They were reportedly trying to leave the consulate building for a safer location when gunmen launched an intense attack, apparently forcing back security guards. \"The American ambassador and three staff members were killed when gunmen fired rockets in their direction,\" a Libyan official in Benghazi told Reuters news agency. The Libyan doctor who treated Mr Stevens in hospital said he had died of severe asphyxiation, apparently from smoke inhalation, with no other injuries, and that he had tried for 90 minutes to revive him. He was the only American brought into the Benghazi Medical Centre and initially nobody realised he was the ambassador, Ziad Abu Zeid told the Associated Press news agency. A second US man killed in the attack was named as Sean Smith, a father of two who was employed as an information management officer. The names of the remaining two victims have not yet been released. US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton described Mr Smith in a statement as \"one of the best\". Speaking to reporters later, Mrs Clinton said many Americans were asking how such an attack could have happened in a country America had helped to liberate. \"This was an attack by a small and savage group, not the people and government of Libya,\" she said. The attack was condemned by UK Foreign Secretary William Hague as \"brutal and senseless\". Mitt Romney, Mr Obama's Republican challenger in the forthcoming presidential election, criticised the US administration's response to the attacks in Benghazi and Cairo, saying it had appeared to \"sympathise with those who waged the attacks\". Mr Obama's team, he said, had sent \"mixed signals to the world\" in the face of violence. Safety concerns Our correspondent says many people in Libya are still armed following the conflict that overthrew Gaddafi. Analysts say the attack will raise serious new concerns about stability in the country and the ability of the new Libyan administration to maintain security. In June, two British bodyguards were injured in an attack in Benghazi on a convoy carrying the British ambassador to Libya. Red Cross and UN staff also came under attack this year. Correspondents say the film at the heart of the row, which appeared on Youtube translated into Arabic, is highly provocative and insulting to Muslims. A demonstration in Cairo on Tuesday saw protesters breach the US embassy and tear down the US flag, which was flying at half-mast to mark the 9/11 attacks. An Islamic tenet bans the portrayal of the Prophet Muhammad. On Wednesday, the Afghan government gave orders for Youtube to be closed to the public until the offending film was removed but the site was still visible to internet users in the capital, Kabul. Cartoons featuring the Islamic religion's key figure sparked violent unrest among Muslims in 2005 when they were published by a Danish newspaper. Mrs Clinton said the attack on the consulate in Benghazi \"should shock the conscience of people of all faiths\".",

The Order of Merit was collected by Jake's \"girlfriend\", a police dog called Gwen, at a ceremony in London on Wednesday evening. Jake was Warwickshire Police's longest serving dog when he retired in August. Handler PC Andy Crouch said the whole family had been \"devastated\" by Jake's death in March and the award would \"take pride of place\". \"Yes he's a work dog, but he lived at home with me. So 24-7, all day, I'm with that dog. Over 10 years he was my best mate,\" he said. \"He would have absolutely loved this, being the centre of attention.\" Jake was teamed up with PC Crouch soon after the dog joined the Warwickshire force aged 18 months. Tour bus drugs bust \"Even after his retirement, he loved playing and we would often set up finds for him to seek out, to keep him stimulated,\" PC Crouch said. \"Jake would have carried on working, given half the chance, but it was important for him to take some time out. He was a joy to work with and I doubt that many handlers will find a dog so willing to work and to please.\" The award was collected by six-year-old serving police dog Gwen, who PC Crouch described as \"Jake's love interest\". During a 10-year career, he made more than 500 finds, including assault rifles, hand guns and ammunition, as well as drugs with an estimated street value of £4.5m. He also served with West Mercia Police and was brought in to support nine other forces, including policing events such as the London Olympics, the Cheltenham Gold Cup and Glastonbury Festival. The PDSA said at one music festival Jake found cannabis worth more than £2,000 concealed on a tour bus, resulting in the delay of a major act. The Order of Merit is awarded to any animal which \"merited recognition for exceptional acts of devotion and represents outstanding examples of the special relationship that exists between animals and humans\".

            "input": "Figures also suggest Welsh is now a minority language in two heartlands, Carmarthenshire and Ceredigion. It has been thought that migration trends and education might lead to an increase in speakers in less traditional Welsh-speaking areas. But the census suggests otherwise, with just two areas, Monmouthshire and Cardiff, seeing a percentage increase. Only in Gwynedd and Anglesey do over half the population now speak Welsh. The Welsh government said it took some comfort from the fact there were considerable increases in younger children who spoke Welsh. This is seen as a sign that efforts to promote the language amongst young families were paying off. The number of Welsh speakers overall has fallen from 582,000 in 2001 to 562,000 last year, despite an increase in the size of the population. This represents a two percentage point drop - from 21% to 19% - in the proportion of Welsh speakers. The percentage of the population with no Welsh language skills also increased from 2001 to 2011, according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS) data. Speaking before the results were released, First Minister Carwyn Jones said he expected figures to show a smaller proportion of Welsh speakers in the traditional stronghold communities of the language, but with more people speaking Welsh in other parts of Wales. However, the data suggests Cardiff and Monmouthshire are the only local authority areas to have registered a percentage increase in the proportion of Welsh speakers. But in Cardiff there was only a slight rise, from 11% to 11.1%, and Monmouthshire reported a slightly larger increase in at 9.9%, up from 9.3%. There are differences within age groups, with increases in the number of Welsh speakers among younger children aged three to four, a slight increase for adults 20 to 44, and decreases for other age groups. Gwynedd had the highest percentage of residents aged three and over who said they could speak, read and write in Welsh, at 56%. It has also been suggested that parents have previously over-estimated the ability of their children to speak to Welsh. This is because the numbers of younger adults who said they spoke the language had fallen in comparison with figures from 2001, even though many of them may have attended Welsh-speaking schools. Pete Stokes, from ONS, said: \"It could be over-estimating by parents. It could also be outward migration from Wales as people who are well-qualified are more likely to leave Wales. \"It could be that people when they leave education don't use Welsh in their day-to-day lives.\" Welsh Language Commissioner Meri Huws said the findings came as a shock. \"Perhaps there has been a danger for everyone to be lulled into a false sense of security 10 years ago, believing everything would be alright, and that the growth in some areas would make up for the decrease in other areas,\" she said. \"If that was the case for the past 10 years, the alarm clock has rung very loudly this morning, and there are very definite challenges to be faced here, and urgently.\" Earlier, First Minister Carwyn Jones said the next challenge for the Welsh language was to ensure young people spoke it outside the classroom. Mr Jones said his own children speak English to each other, despite going to a Welsh-language school. \"Cracking that is going to be crucial to the future of the language over the next 10 years,\" he said. Other politicians said action was needed to stem the decline in the language. Plaid Cymru leader Leanne Wood AM said: \"Today's figures are disappointing and I'm sure citizens across Wales will be concerned about the decline in the number of Welsh speakers across the country. \"These are very clear warning signs for the future of the language and there must be a decisive response.\" Tory language spokesperson Suzy Davies said: \"There is a generation of young people who have studied Welsh to the age of 16 at school, yet they still don't see themselves as Welsh speakers. \"How much of that is down to a slow shift in how we see ourselves? How much is down to low priority that the language has in some English-medium schools, despite being a compulsory part of the curriculum?\" Robin Farrar, chair of Cymdeithas yr Iaith Gymraeg (Welsh Language Society) said the language faced a crisis. \"This news reflects very badly on the Welsh government who set a target of increasing the number of Welsh speakers by 5% over the decade. Over the last 10 years, they have failed to support the Welsh language in the way they should. \"The fall in all the counties in the west is a matter of great concern. The people of Wales are very supportive of our unique language, but the government isn't matching their ambition.\" Welsh education minister Leighton Andrews said: \"The Welsh language and Welsh language communities face challenges and the issue now is not to blame people but decide how to work together to ensure a sustainable future for the language.\" He said he would be open to new ideas and had a strategy, launched in March, which included encouraging the use of Welsh in social media. A Welsh government spokesman added that the strategy recognised the \"fragile state of the language\" and looked to promote its use across all walks of life. Other data from the census showed:",

His comments came after the Supreme Court in Caracas imposed restrictions on the main opposition coalition for presidential elections due in April. On Monday, the European Union froze the assets and imposed a travel ban on seven senior Venezuelan officials. Mr Macron said that there was no sign of progress from President Nicolás Maduro's government and called for a joint effort to help restore democracy in Venezuela. 'Institutions overrun' \"We'll have to see at the European level whether we want new sanctions. I am in favour of having them... \"I want us to go further given the recent decisions and the shift to authoritarianism,\" said Mr Macron. He was speaking after a meeting in Paris with his Argentine counterpart, Mauricio Macri. The two leaders criticised the decision by Venezuela's Supreme Court to ban the participation of the opposition in the presidential poll as a coalition, the Democratic Union Roundtable, or MUD. The electoral process had already been thrown in disarray on Tuesday, when the Constituent Assembly announced that the vote, traditionally held in December, would have to take place by the end of April. The move leaves very little time for the opposition to prepare, as it is already weakened by the absence of many of its leaders who are in self-imposed exile or in jail. Mr Maduro's six-year term ends next year. He announced he was standing for re-election \"to put an end to the imperialist threat\". Mr Macri said that the institutions had been \"clearly overrun in Venezuela\". \"We need to demand free and transparent elections, so that Venezuelans can really express their views and start building a future,\" said Mr Macri. For some time now, the European Union has been expressing concern about human rights violations in Venezuela. More than 120 people died during four months of protests against President Maduro last year. This week, the EU targeted Venezuelan officials for the first time. Spain pushed for the sanctions and paid a price for it: its ambassador to Caracas was expelled on Thursday and Madrid reciprocated with its own expulsion a day later.

The first piece acquired by the Stedelijk is titled Mees, After Evening Dip, New Year's Day, 2002 and depicts a trembling boy on a beach with a towel clasped around him.

            "input": "Francisco Sanchez, 45, was charged on Monday with shooting 32-year-old Kathryn Steinle on Pier 14 in San Francisco. Mr Sanchez, a repeat drug offender who has been deported to Mexico five times, had been in jail in the city until March when the charges were dropped and he was released. But despite being in the country illegally, he wasn't handed over to immigration officials because San Francisco's \"sanctuary\" law means city authorities don't co-operate with immigration officials. So what is a sanctuary city? The term applies to cities in the US that have policies in place to limit the assistance given to federal immigration authorities. It's not a legal term so the way it is implemented can vary, but the policies can be set in law or just part of local policing practices. San Francisco passed a \"City of Refuge\" order in 1989 that prohibited the use of city funds to enforce federal immigration laws or to share information with federal immigration officials. In the case of Francisco Sanchez, this meant that when the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency (ICE) asked to be notified prior to his release from prison, their request was ignored. In March, ICE Director Sarah Saldana told Congress there were over 200 areas in the US - cities, counties and states - that had refused to honour the agency's requests. Why do they exist? The idea of declaring areas as immigrant sanctuaries got traction in the 1980s after Los Angeles told its police force to stop questioning people solely to determine their immigration status in 1979. LA authorities put the order in place in a bid to encourage immigrant communities to work with police without having to fear being deported. Other cities that followed suit argued that implementing government policy wasn't their job and doing so threatened community relations. So what's the problem? Opponents of sanctuary cities have long accused them of undermining federal law enforcement efforts and encouraging illegal immigration - and Francisco Sanchez has intensified criticism. To make matters worse for San Francisco, Mr Sanchez reportedly told police he had chosen the city precisely because he would not be pursued by immigration officials there. Critics of sanctuary policies have leapt on his case. Outspoken Fox News presenter Bill O'Reilly said Miss Steinle paid for the city's \"irresponsible and unconstitutional decision with her life\". What does San Francisco say? Despite the criticism, San Francisco Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi stands by the decision to ignore the ICE request and insists the sanctuary status makes the city safer. \"We're a world-renowned city with a large immigrant population. From a law enforcement perspective, we want to build trust with that population and our sanctuary city laws have allowed us to do that,\" he told CNN. He claims ICE's system of requests - called \"detainers\" - is not legal and says they should have issued an arrest warrant for Mr Sanchez if they thought he was a threat. What's this got to do with Donald Trump? Billionaire businessman Donald Trump is keen to make immigration a key part of his campaign to become the Republican presidential candidate. Speaking at his campaign's launch event, he claimed that Mexico was \"sending people that have lots of problems\", adding: \"They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists.\" He was heavily criticised for his comments, but when Miss Steinle was killed he tweeted: \"What about the undocumented immigrant with a record who killed the beautiful young women [sic] (in front of her father) in San Fran. Get smart!\" Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton called Mr Trump's comment's \"disappointing\" but appeared to signal a change in her view on sanctuary cities, which she's previously supported. \"Here's a case where we've deported, we've deported, we've deported. He ends back up in our country and I think the city made a mistake,\" she said in an interview with CNN on Monday. \"I have absolutely no support for a city that ignores the strong evidence that should be acted on,\" she added.",

It is the first time Amazon has held the top position. The share prices of US tech giants have been on a rollercoaster in recent months on worries about sales and trade tensions. First book Founded by Mr Bezos in 1994, Amazon started life as a niche second-hand book seller and has become an online retailer of items ranging from fresh food to clothes. The firm was created in a garage in a suburb of Seattle, Washington. It was originally called \"Cadabra,\" (as in \"abracadabra\") and in 1995 sold its first book - Fluid Concepts and Creative Analogies: Computer Models of the Fundamental Mechanisms of Thought, by Douglas Hofstadter. By early 1996, Amazon was selling books online throughout the US. The business was floated on the stock exchange in 1997, raising $54m. As a result, Mr Bezos joined the ranks of the world's richest business people before he turned 35 years of age. Sports rights For more than a decade, the company put growth ahead of profit, investing in warehouses, distribution networks and data systems. In 2017, it paid $13.7bn for Whole Foods Market, which brought it a large network of physical stores for the first time.

            "input": "Sean CoughlanBBC News education correspondent Looking at the reaction from teachers on Twitter, staffrooms across England might hear some other less flattering accolades. \"The worst education secretary in living memory,\" is one of the more polite comments. Both reactions are a testimony to how much he has come to dominate the education debate - as, in a breakneck four years, he turned most secondary schools into academies and re-wrote the exam system. His radical interventions were often very personal, carrying the flavour of his own upbringing, passions and prejudices. And the opposition against him was often equally personal. It was his name that appeared on protest banners when teachers went on strike. Traditional exams Even the re-shaping of the curriculum - and the removal of US authors from literature set texts - became a debate about Mr Gove's reading preferences. He repeatedly placed himself in a line of education reformers - often outside the Conservative party, including Tony Blair and Lord Adonis. And he said he had made it his \"personal crusade\" to close the gap between the educational attainment of rich and poor pupils. The smoke of battle obscured the significance of how much energy and attention, from a Conservative-headed government, was focused on raising standards in non-selective state schools, with almost no diversionary forays into grammar schools, voucher schemes or funding private places. What will be his legacy? Almost 60% of secondary schools are now academies. There are more than 300 free schools open or approved. It's unlikely that any incoming government would remove much of the autonomy of these schools. After a chaotic start, with GCSEs being scrapped and then reinstated, the qualifications system in England has been re-drawn, moving back to a more traditional, exam-based model. The curriculum has been rewritten - always with some controversy thrown into the mix and often with some idiosyncrasy. The draft version of the primary history curriculum, including teaching eight-year-olds about the heptarchy (the seven kingdoms of the Anglo-Saxons), was mocked by the teachers' unions as training for a pub quiz. Global competition It remains to be seen how much of the detail might be unpicked in his absence - but he gave a strong sense of momentum towards greater academic rigour. And his re-invention of school league tables - away from the unyielding reliance on five good GCSEs - could be an unexpected and long-lasting influence. Another unintended by-product of all this upheaval is that the English education system, already separate from Scotland, is now fundamentally different from Wales and Northern Ireland. An under-recognised change, with far-reaching ramifications, has been his emphasis on wanting England's schools to catch up with international competitors. In the flurry of announcements it was almost overlooked that for the first time England's GCSEs are to be pegged against the global benchmark of Pisa tests. But the question that will hang over his legacy is whether his divisiveness was counter-productive. He couldn't seem to resist the confrontational comment, and his instincts seemed disputatious. He had a toxic relationship with the teachers' unions that meant that every reform was greeted with hostility. He mocked the educational establishment as the Blob - but at the same time these were the people who were going to have to put his words into action. A remarkable one in 12 of England's entire female workforce has a job in a school - they might not be a group to antagonise if you're chasing women's votes in an election. Mr Gove made the news around him - but a peculiarity of his time in office was that he rarely gave the type of press conferences and open briefings that had been expected of education secretaries announcing major changes. Many of his policy revolutions were revealed overnight in the columns of supportive newspapers - almost as if he were still in opposition. This might have had its roots in the awkward start to his time in office, when his attempts at reforming the school buildings programme turned into a public mess. But it meant that this most fluent and stylish of communicators tended to devote his energies to the already converted. They took him to their hearts and gave him a vocally supportive following, but it meant he gained few allies outside his own insurgent circle. And his critics continued to accuse him of hidden shallows - relying on caricatures rather than engaging with those who disagreed with him. It only seemed to be more recently that he seemed to want to talk more widely. His reign in education might be over, but arguments over his impact have only just begun.",

            "input": "By Anthony ZurcherNorth America reporter The second, third and fourth times Mr Trump used the phrase, it barely merited a shrug. Such is the unique talent of this president - an ability to take an action or opinion that once seemed outrageous and turn it into a new kind of normal. Even if the line doesn't generate headlines anymore, however, journalists still take note. And when a newsroom in Maryland was sprayed with bullets just a few weeks ago, the perils of the profession - even in an established Western democracy, and with or without the president's instigation - were put in stark relief. New York Times publisher AG Sulzberger clearly wanted to drive this point home in his previously secret meeting with Mr Trump nine days ago. The message, however, may not have been received. In his Sunday morning tweet, the president appears to assert that it's the media's fault that he has decided to label them \"enemies of the American people\". For Mr Trump, then, this kind of language - if it is a problem - is a problem for the media, not him, to fix. The irony, of course, is that Mr Trump cites New York Times reports about details of Robert Mueller's Russia investigation that are based on anonymous sources. On Friday, he referred to the special counsel looking at his tweets - a bit of information drawn directly from a Times article. Whenever the Times runs a story about his administration with similar sourcing, however, it's \"fake news\". And this gets to the heart of the matter. The president wants positive news coverage for himself and critical coverage of his adversaries. \"Fake news\", \"enemy of the people\" and all the other media-bashing is simply a means to achieving that goal. In sport, the strategy is called \"working the referee\". It's the same idea in politics - but the stakes are much higher. There's more to it than that, however. Mr Trump doesn't just want the referee's \"calls\" to go his way. His goal is to question the reliability the referee entirely. And it's working - at least among the president's most loyal supporters. In a recent CBS News poll, 91% of \"strong supporters\" of the president's said they trust Mr Trump to provide them with accurate information. Only 11% said the same thing about the \"mainstream media\", while 63% said they trusted their own \"friends and family\". The president's war of words with the media has contributed to a base of support that is, effectively, invulnerable to negative news. The question now is whether that base is enough to prevail in the upcoming mid-term congressional elections and, eventually, carry him to re-election victory in 2020. It is, at the very least, a good place to start - and a reason why the president may stick to his current course, in spite of Mr Sulzberger's words of caution.",

Mr Corbyn insists he is \"delighted\" with the state of the party. Lord Kinnock, who led the fight against left-wing extremism in the 1980s, when Labour was paralysed by faction fighting, said: \"Not just in my lifetime but stretching back to the 1930s, by any examination this is the greatest crisis that the Labour Party has faced.\" Mr Corbyn, however, appealed to Labour MPs in an interview to \"come together\" after the contest. And an extraordinary olive-branch to hostile Labour MPs after the rebellion of the summer, and the failed attempt to force the leader's resignation, has emerged. Mr Corbyn's closest friend and chief lieutenant at Westminster, shadow chancellor John McDonnell, said the Labour leader and himself were willing to take lessons in leadership. \"Tutorials\" from former senior ministers and shadow ministers would answer accusations of incompetence, improve their performance in the House of Commons and improve relations with Labour colleagues at Westminster. \"A bit of tutoring from some old hands?\", I asked him. \"Well, why not?\" he replied. \"Why not?\" 'Get rid of capitalism' Panorama spent the summer with the rival pro- and anti-Corbyn factions in Labour's biggest local party, Brighton and Hove. The feuding there, and pressure from left-wing activists on the local MP, Peter Kyle, who is a critic of Mr Corbyn, mirrors the struggle taking place in many parts of the country. There are accusations in Brighton, as elsewhere, of \"entryism\" - infiltration of the party by members with links to groups intent on pushing Labour further to the left. The local chairman, Mark Sandell, has been named as a supporter of the far-left Alliance for Workers' Liberty, and is under investigation by the national party. He told Panorama: \"I don't see myself as an entryist. \"The Labour Party was founded by some really great socialists who wanted to get rid of capitalism, who wanted to change the world.\" Mr Kyle is likely to face pressure from party members who want to sack him as a candidate at the next general election. He said: \"I think we are standing absolutely at the edge of a cliff and it might well be that one or other of the factions, or both of us, end up going over it. \"I really think it's that serious.\" 'Totally disrespectful' The leadership insists it is not seeking to purge the party of hostile MPs by seeing them deselected as candidates by left-wing local parties. But the leader of the Unite union, Len McCluskey, told the programme: \"I believe some of the MPs have behaved absolutely disgracefully and they've not shown any respect whatsoever to the leader. \"They should be held to account.\" I asked Mr McCluskey if MPs who continued to be \"vocal dissidents\" if and when Mr Corbyn was re-elected would be \"asking for it\" when it came to the question of de-selection. He said: \"I think they would. I think anybody who behaves in a way that is totally disrespectful and out with the culture of the Labour Party is basically asking to be held to account.\" After warnings and speculation Labour might split if Mr Corbyn is re-elected as leader, Labour MPs critical of his leadership have told me there is no appetite in the party for a schism, or any kind of organised break-away. Some MPs who resigned from the shadow cabinet in rejection of Mr Corbyn's leadership have told me privately they are contemplating a return. Mr Corbyn is said by his close allies to be willing to see at least a share of shadow Cabinet places allocated by a ballot of MPs. But senior former shadow ministers contemplating a return are clear they will not pledge their faith in his leadership or competence to lead a Labour administration in government. Wilderness Mr Corbyn insists he is \"delighted\" with the state of the party and the surge in its membership. He says young voters and the less well off in society could propel the party closer to power, and he denies that the idea of relying on past non-voters to deliver victory in future is \"pie in the sky.\" But there is no clear evidence Labour is prepared to reunite after the leadership contest. Without unity, and without reconnecting to the millions of voters the polls say have turned their back on the party, Labour seems destined to languish in the political wilderness, broken as a major force in British politics.

            "input": "By Pumza FihlaniBBC News, Johannesburg Moses Sechedi lives in Soweto, one of South Africa's biggest townships. Outside the Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital - the largest hospital in Africa - Mr Sechedi, 62, tells me that he has seen the benefits of the new policy. \"A few months ago, my younger sister became gravely ill and we rushed her to hospital. After a number of tests the doctor told us she had Aids,\" he says. The family was devastated. His 39-year-old sister suffers from mental illness and had been raped when she was younger by a local traditional healer who had promised the family he could cure her. The healer recently died of Aids-related complications but Mr Sechedi's family had not thought to have her tested until she became sick. Mr Sechedi says his sister would have died were it not for the Aids drugs she receives. \"Those pills are the reason she is alive today. She is getting stronger by the day - it is like looking at a miracle daily,\" he says. 'Doing the right thing' Under President Zuma's new policy, the number of HIV-positive people like Mr Sechedi's sister receiving live-saving anti-retroviral (ARV) drugs has more than doubled from 678,500 to 1.5 million. The government of former President Thabo Mbeki, who denied the link between HIV and Aids, said it could not afford to roll out this treatment to all the South Africans who needed it. More than five million people are HIV-positive - about 10% of the total population. Health Minister Aaron Motsoaledi told the BBC that his department plans to provide Aids drugs to the remaining one million patients who need them by 2014. Not everyone who is HIV-positive needs the drugs. The most common way of checking is to measure the CD4 cells, which help the body to fight diseases. Under the previous administration, only those with a CD4 count of 200 were given treatment - by which time they were already sick - but this has now been raised to 350, meaning the drugs are provided in time to keep people healthy and active. The Treatment Action Campaign (TAC) led a vigorous campaign against Mr Mbeki's government - even taking the authorities to court to secure the right to ARVs. It says the government is \"finally doing the right thing\". \"We have moved from an era of denialism to realism,\" the group's Marcus Low says. It seems there is now the \"political will to fight the disease\", he says. The government has also added medical male circumcision to its Aids plans. State health facilities now provide free circumcisions, which health officials say reduces the risk of transmission by 60%. Experts also say new infections have decreased over the past couple of years, which could indicate that young people are changing their sexual behaviour. Saving the children Another key plank of the government's new Aids policy is to prevent mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT). Until 2009, pregnant HIV patients needed to be at least 28 weeks pregnant to access drugs - that has now been reduced to 14 weeks. According to a recent UNAids report, 95% of infected pregnant women are now getting ARVs to prevent their babies from getting HIV. This is a 30% increase from 2007. At the Harriet Shezi Children's Clinic in Soweto, more than 3,000 children currently receive Aids treatment. The clinic treats advanced cases of HIV in children. \"In the past, most admissions would be of children under a year old - those would be fast progressors who had not been put on PMTCT or failed the limited treatment available,\" says the clinic's Nosisa Sipambo. Cost of life Following the changes, South Africa now runs the world's largest anti-retroviral programme but some have expressed concerns about how much these drugs are costing the country. Mr Motsoaledi says his department has managed to halve spending on ARVs. Instead of paying out 8.8bn rand ($104.5m; £67.2m) on the drugs over the next two years, South Africa will now spend just 4.2bn - less than 4% of the 2011 health budget of 112.6bn rand. But despite the progress, Aids remains South Africa's leading cause of death. Last year it killed more than 260,000 people - almost half of all those who died in the country. The TAC says it will monitor the government to makes sure that it builds on its progress. \"We need to make sure that the government stays committed to this programme,\" says Mr Low.",

Gone is the portrait of Andrew Jackson, the 7th president and a populist with whom President Trump frequently identified and who also faced censure although he was never impeached. His portrait, to the left of the seat of the Resolute Desk, has been replaced with one of Benjamin Franklin, a founding father who was also a leading writer, scientist and philosopher. The Post said Franklin's portrait was intended to represent President Biden's interest in following science as he attempts to tackle the coronavirus pandemic. From his desk, Mr Biden will look up to see, flanking the fireplace, busts of Rev Martin Luther King Jnr and Robert F Kennedy - two men whose impact on the civil rights movement Biden is said to have frequently referenced. Other busts around the room include another key figure in the civil rights movement, Rosa Parks. There is also an Allan Houser sculpture depicting a horse and Chiricahua Apache rider once belonging to the Hawaii Democrat Senator Daniel Inouye, the Post reports. Above the fireplace hangs a large portrait of Franklin D Roosevelt, the president who led the country through the Great Depression and World War Two. The portrait of another former president, Thomas Jefferson, has been paired with a man he frequently disagreed with, the former Treasury Secretary Alexander Hamilton as \"hallmarks of how differences of opinion, expressed within the guardrails of the Republic, are essential to democracy\", the Post quotes Biden's office as saying. Portraits of two other celebrated former presidents, George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, have also been paired. Many on social media noted, on the table behind Mr Biden, a bust of César Chávez, the Mexican-American labour leader who fought for the rights of farm workers in the 1960s and 70s. His bust sits alongside framed photos of Mr Biden's family. Flags of the different branches of the military have also been replaced with an American flag and another with a presidential seal. A controversial bust of Britain's wartime leader Sir Winston Churchill has also gone. President Trump had promised to restore the bust to the Oval Office after it was removed by his predecessor Barack Obama. The then foreign secretary Boris Johnson - now UK prime minister - had at the time accused Mr Obama of having an \"ancestral dislike of the British empire\". This time, his spokesman, said: \"The Oval office is the president's private office and it's up to the president to decorate it as he wishes\".

Trains were switched to Finsbury Park, a much smaller station. \"Not enough was done\" in planning the switch, said the report, which included an apology from Mark Carne, Network Rail's chief executive. Work near London's Paddington station finished on time, but a safety check took eight hours longer than planned. 'We let passengers down' \"A number of things went wrong in these two instances. In addition it is clear that our project back-up plans and the train service plans should have done a much better job in protecting the travelling public from our engineering problems,\" Mr Carne said. \"Over Christmas, we undertook the biggest programme of engineering and investment work ever, on train lines across the country. Ninety-nine per cent went to plan but in the case of King's Cross and Paddington we let passengers down. \"I sincerely apologise for the disruption over the festive period and we are determined to learn the lessons so that we can continue to make the improvements the travelling public deserve.\" Analysis: Richard Westcott, Transport correspondent Is anyone getting a sense of deja vu here? Seven years ago. Christmas holidays. Overrunning repair work. Thousands stranded at train stations. Back then, Network Rail was forced to admit that specialist workmen simply hadn't turned up for work. The company was fined £14m (a record at the time) by the regulator and promised it would never happen again. Clearly it has, although for totally different reasons this time. The regulator may choose to fine the company again, but many question the point of big fines. It means taking money that could be used to repair the network, and giving it to the government instead. It's hard to see how that helps passengers. Work should have been finished allowing King's Cross and Paddington to open on 27 December. But King's Cross had to close all day while Paddington only opened in the early afternoon. Network Rail said that, by 10:30 on 27 December, Finsbury Park had become so crowded that incoming passengers could not get off their trains. Rail travellers had to queue for as much as three hours to get into the station. Better information The row over the delays led to Mr Carne renouncing his annual bonus, which could have been as much as £135,000. \"On the basis of this report and the events on the day the industry has a long way to go to restore trust in how it handles these events,\" said Anthony Smith, chief executive of the rail customer watchdog Passenger Focus. Network Rail says it will review how it plans for over-runs and will \"provide better information to passengers\".",

It comes as Britons in mainland China have been urged to leave the country after the outbreak claimed more lives. More than 100 UK nationals and family members have already been evacuated to Britain from Wuhan. Between 150 and 200 Britons and their dependents remain in Hubei province, where the outbreak began, and about 100 have asked for help to leave, the Foreign Office said. At least 427 people have died after contracting the virus and there have been more than 20,000 confirmed cases, most of them in China. Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab said: \"We have been working round the clock to help British nationals leave Hubei province, on UK, French and New Zealand flights. \"The Foreign Office is chartering a second and final UK flight with space to help all British nationals and their dependants remaining in Hubei to leave. \"I encourage all British nationals in Hubei to register with our teams if they want to leave on this flight.\" British nationals in Hubei can contact the Foreign Office on two 24-hour telephone numbers: +86 (0) 1085296600 and +44 (0) 2070081500. On Friday, 83 UK citizens were repatriated on a flight out of Wuhan arranged by the UK government. Another 11 Britons joined them on Sunday on a French flight. A further eight UK nationals and six of their family members left on a flight to New Zealand on Tuesday. It has since emerged that a Belgian woman who was on Sunday's flight tested positive for the virus. All of the Britons are now in quarantine at Arrowe Park Hospital in Wirral for 14 days - the incubation period of the virus - to ensure they are not infected. One British passenger, Anthony May-Smith, who arrived in the UK on Sunday, was taken to hospital in Oxford to be tested for potential coronavirus. Health Secretary Matt Hancock told BBC Breakfast the test came back negative but that Mr May-Smith has returned to quarantine at Arrowe Park \"because the test… doesn't work until the coronavirus symptoms come through\". Mr Hancock advised anyone who thought they might have symptoms to not leave home and to call 111. Mr Hancock said it was \"low\" risk that an infected person who was not yet showing symptoms could pass on the virus. There have been two confirmed cases of coronavirus in the UK - a student at the University of York and one of their relatives. They are being treated at the specialist infectious diseases unit at Newcastle Royal Victoria Infirmary. Meanwhile, one British man in China, who fears he contracted the virus in November, has been told he can return to the UK after the Chinese authorities gave him his passport back. Jamie Morris, 23, from New Tredegar in South Wales had said he did not know when he might be able to return from Wuhan because he had submitted his passport in order to extend his residency permit. He will now be able to join other British nationals on the final flight home. On Tuesday, the Foreign Office advised Britons to leave China to minimise the risk of exposure to coronavirus. The UK is also moving non-essential staff out from its embassy and consulates in the country. The only two UK airlines serving China - British Airways and Virgin Atlantic - have suspended their flights between the countries because of fears about the spread of the virus. But other commercial flights to the UK remain available in some parts of China. Meanwhile, at least 10 people on board the Diamond Princess cruise ship docked in the Japanese port of Yokohoma have tested positive for coronavirus. Passengers and crew on the ship will now be quarantined for 14 days. British tourist David Abel is among the 3,700 people on board the ship. He told the BBC he was supposed to return to the UK on Tuesday. \"We had a flight booked with BA on Tuesday morning and that has had to be cancelled. We've got no idea when we are going to be allowed off the ship,\" he said. \"All we have been informed [sic] is 14 days quarantine on the ship. That means we've got no interaction with other passengers, food is brought to the room. It's really basic food, nothing like we've enjoyed on the cruise at all.\" The virus has now spread to more than two dozen nations. However, the World Health Organization (WHO) said it does not yet qualify as a \"pandemic\". Are you a British citizen in China? Will you leave the country?

            "input": "Economy Minister Ken Skates urged people to stick to the rules during Wales' two-week lockdown from Friday. Scientific advisers say it is possible the reproduction (R) rate could drop from 1.4 to 0.8 over that period. However, the impact of the firebreak will not be known until some time after the lockdown has ended. The R rate is the number of people that one infected person will pass the virus to, on average. Mr Skates told the Welsh Government's coronavirus news briefing on Tuesday that lowering the R rate to that extent \"would, in itself, buy us enough time, give us the headroom, to get through to Christmas and the new year\". \"But of course we could not rule out the possibility of introducing another firebreak if over the Christmas period transmission rates increase dramatically,\" he said. A report by the Technical Advisory Cell (TAC), which advises Welsh ministers on coronavirus, estimates that a two to three-week lockdown \"should act to reduce R below 1\" but that \"multiple\" such lockdowns may be needed. \"Over a fortnight's 'break', two weeks of growth could be exchanged for two weeks of decay in transmission, assuming good adherence to measures, and no additional increase in contacts before or after the break,\" the paper says. \"If this were as strict and well-adhered to as the restrictions in late May, this could put the epidemic back by approximately 28 days or more.\" The report, published on Monday, adds that if rules and behaviour then returned to how they were before the firebreak \"there would be a return to exponential growth, but from a significantly lower level than would have been the case without the break\". But it also warns \"multiple\" firebreaks \"might be necessary to maintain low levels of incidence\" of the virus. Senedd backs call to eliminate Covid A majority of Senedd politicians backed the firebreak lockdown in a vote on Tuesday evening - 37 for to 16 against. The vote's text included a call from Plaid Cymru - which won three amendments to the motion - for a strategy based on eliminating the virus. Conservative members were among those voting against the main motion. At the debate Tory Senedd group leader Paul Davies said the Welsh Tories had an \"open mind\", but that the Welsh Government had failed to justify its new measures. First Minister Mark Drakeford accused the Conservative Party in the Senedd of placing \"themselves in opposition to all the expert advice we have available to us\". Plaid Cymru leader Adam Price said that the government \"has no option\" and that the lockdown should have been introduced earlier. But continual lockdowns were not an answer, he said, adding: \"We have to use this time to reflect on what's gone wrong and what can be put right.\" Local lockdowns 'could not turn tide' Earlier, answering First Minister's Questions at the Senedd, Mr Drakeford said the current local lockdowns could not \"turn back the tide\" of Covid-19 quickly enough. Currently about 2.3 million people in Wales are living under local lockdown rules - 15 of the 22 council areas plus Bangor and Llanelli - where coronavirus infection rates are at their highest. Paul Davies said the Welsh Government should publish more local data to show how the disease is spreading on a \"community-to-community basis\". But the first minister said a \"national effort\" was needed. \"It's very easy indeed to justify it [the firebreak] because while the efforts that have been made by people in those local lockdown areas are succeeding, they cannot succeed far and fast enough to turn back the tide of coronavirus as it is currently accelerating across Wales,\" he said. Mr Davies' comments came prior to the release of more detailed local information by Public Health Wales on Tuesday afternoon. What happens from 9 November? Opening the debate, Health Minister Vaughan Gething said Covid-19 policies that will come into force after the firebreak will be set out \"in the coming days\". Local lockdowns, covering the vast majority of Wales's population, are likely to be replaced by a new national regime when the firebreak finishes. Monday's TAC report advises ministers to follow a \"new, simpler, national approach to behaviours and restrictions\". \"Simpler messaging and regulations are expected to be easier to understand and comply with,\" it says. \"Some existing restrictions may be removed if they are shown to be less effective or more harmful than originally expected, such as the local authority travel boundary restrictions [preventing people entering or leaving local lockdown areas without a reasonable excuse, such as for work].\" But the report warns that there would need to be \"sustainable changes in behaviour in many areas of life\" to keep the R number \"as near to one as possible\". \"Across the government we are now looking to work to agree arrangements that will be needed in the future to secure the gains made from the firebreak and we will set those out in the coming days,\" Mr Gething said. Ministers have relied on projections of a worst case scenario, prepared by Swansea University, which say there could be as many as 6,000 Covid-19 deaths in Wales by March.",

            "input": "In fact the chief executive was only repeating a strategy he had alreadyoutlined earlier in the year. Nevertheless, his comments sparked a series of editorials across the mainstream media and the blogosphere. The idea was described as both \"bold\" and \"stupid\", with some writers betting that the proposal would be ditched before the self-imposed 2014 zero-email deadline. But Mr Breton is determined to add the move to his already impressive CV. He is the former chief executive and chairman of France Telecom, served as France's minister of economy, finance and industry for two years and lectured at Harvard Business School before joining Atos three years ago. Implementing the policy will be no small feat. Atos employs staff across 42 countries and offers consulting and technology services to a range of high profile customers including Boots, Fiat, Philips, Reuters and the Olympic Games. Success could herald a turning point for email, failure would prove damaging for his company's credibility. Against this backdrop Mr Breton explained the reasons for his move to the BBC. Were you surprised by the attention your decision received? Yes I was surprised by the interest - or let's say intrigue - that almost all our customers expressed. In fact, I did it to enhance the quality of working conditions for our 80,000 employees. This is part of a global initiative that we initiated in ATOS almost three years ago called \"Wellbeing At Work\" - a knowledge network made up of new talents in the company. Their mission, in addition to their normal job, is to provide new ideas to enhance working conditions. They put on the table the fact that most of the young people that we were hiring were not using email anymore after graduating from universities. They were instead mainly using instant messaging tools and social networks like Facebook - and for most of them, when they joined Atos it was first time they had ever worked with internal email tools like [Microsoft] Outlook. So this intrigued me - and in addition I had already been thinking for many years that most of my colleagues and my employees were spending increasing amounts of time on internal emails. I started to think they were spending too much time on internal emails and not enough time on management. So when we put all this together I started an in-depth study with our consulting practice to see how many internal emails the 80,000 employees of Atos were receiving. We found on average it was over 100 emails per day. After further analysis, we realised they found 15% of the messages useful, and the rest was lost time. But they had a fear that they would miss something. We checked at work and at home also - and we realised they were spending 15 to 20 hours a week checking and answering internal emails. So we launched a team to investigate what sort of tools we could use to replace internal emails and also what sort of management practices we should put in place to go back to what I believe would be a normal way to behave in a company. And hopefully by the end of next year - which is something like 18 months [from the start] - we'll be close to having everything in hand to make this change. When did you last use internal email? A long time ago - I don't use internal emails anymore. When I was the chairman of France Telecom I stopped using internal email because I was not happy with the way we used it. When I was in the government I had no emails for security reasons. So it's probably five to six years ago. But I use instant messaging - and of course I use external email. I have an external email address and we don't intend, of course, to end external email. External email is a fantastic tool - it's a fantastic way to communicate between organisations. But internally we want to go back to best management practices. Why do you think your announcement struck such a nerve? We are addressing, I think, a real issue of our time. We all understand what a data deluge means. We know that the data a company collects and stores doubles every 18 months. We know that more data was created over the past 10 years than since the beginning of humanity. We are careful with what we send and receive externally, but internally you use it more and more as a communication tool, or to store your own content, or to protect yourself from your boss or whoever. We are not using it the way it was intended to be used. When you believe that a new technology will replace another one, then you create some debate and I think that's normal and good and the way we have to work in technology. I didn't do this for external reasons. Of course we have our own consulting practice which is helping us, and we believe that a large number of our customers are interested in seeing what we do, because they are facing the same problems. At the end we may use this experience to help them as well. But that was not my first intention at all. My first intention was to deal with this internal data deluge and to work with the tools that the young generation are using. We are business technologists, so it's our mission at Atos to be front runner in this technology age. What was the reaction of your own employees? I think it was positive as they knew it was a big policy Since making this announcement we've experienced a 20% decrease in our own internal email just because people have become more careful. Most don't yet have the new tools that we are preparing for them. We are running a pilot with the tools - some are internally designed, some are from third parties. We have 500 young people who are not using internal email anymore - and they just love it. Do you have a message for other bosses wanting to make big technological changes? When you are working in a technological company you have to be humble. Humble in front of technology and humble in front of change management. This is our environment and we understand that if some of our customers are facing the same problem, or have the same ambitions, we can help them move at their own speed I won't say that in five years you won't have internal emails - businesses will probably continue to have internal emails for the next 10 to 15 years. But some companies will move quickly to these internal social networks and instant messaging tools - and again this will be pushed by the young generation. In Atos the average age of our workers is 35 years - we are a young company. Every year we hire roughly 10,000 new employees, most of them are below the age of 30, living in universities and college - they don't use internal email anymore, they are using a lot of new tools. We have to adapt ourselves to this new generation that will become our business colleagues tomorrow. Do you have any doubts? The first goal I set was to give three years to make the transition - that's a lot of time. I don't want to hurt the organisation, but there's a lot of appetite and excitement for what we are doing. When we don't have internal email anymore we will have fantastic new tools - a cloud computing environment, social networks, instant messaging, micro blogging, document sharing, knowledge community - these offer a much better approach for an information technology company. My job as a CEO is always to try to try to see how we can learn to work differently, to use our technology better. That's my mission and that's my job as a CEO.",

Maternity services moved to Royal Stoke when the new trust, the University Hospital North Midlands NHS Trust, formed to take over the running of the former Stafford Hospital in October 2014.

Martin Yip: You mentioned that you took pictures from your home. Can you tell me what have you seen or heard from the balcony? \"Manga\": I heard the first two blasts, like a thunderstorm, and I thought it was one. Then there were another three to four explosions, and then smoke billowing, and everybody downstairs was running. Martin Yip: How long did it take for the police to arrive? Did you hear any gunshots? \"Manga\": Gunshots? Maybe, sporadic ones. But the ambulances arrived immediately (in around 10 minutes), then a police car came. More ambulances, fire trucks and police cars arrived within 30 minutes. Fang Shaoying, the owner of a small supermarket near the scene of the attack, told the Associated Press news agency: \"I heard four or five explosions. I was very scared. I saw three or four people lying on the ground.\" Another eyewitness on Weibo quoted by the AFP agency said they were less than 100m away from the scene at the time and that \"several powerful explosions\" had taken place at the morning market in the front of the city's Palace of Culture. \"I saw flames and thick black smoke. The vehicles and the stalls were on fire while the salesmen fled in all directions, leaving their goods behind them,\" he went on. Other local residents contacted by Reuters agency said they saw the aftermath of the blasts. \"The air was full of the smell of gunpowder and the sound of sobbing,\" one said. \"There were simply too many (casualties), old folks who were at the morning market,\" he added. \"There were two vehicles that drove like crazy towards the morning market,\" another said. \"The market was total chaos.

            "input": "The story of the relationship between just-elected Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad and Anwar Ibrahim is so full of drama it would be fitting for Shakespeare - loyalty, betrayal, tragedy and irony meld together in a narrative for the ages. Dr Mahathir, now 92, first put Anwar in prison on corruption and sodomy charges in politically charged circumstances in 1999. But he has now come out of retirement, won a second stint as prime minister - and provided the key to his former deputy's release nearly two decades later. Mr Anwar himself read all the volumes of Shakespeare when in prison after Dr Mahathir jailed him. Yet the chance for Dr Mahathir to assure the release and pardon of Mr Anwar allows the relationship to come full circle, where enemies become friends. And unlike many of Shakespeare's plays, the story is one where the villain becomes the hero. Riding the wave At the core of the story of the two men is political power, and the drive to secure and maintain it. Dr Mahathir first brought Mr Anwar into his government in 1982. Mr Anwar had risen to prominence as a dynamic, charismatic student leader, who mobilised opposition to the dominant incumbent party, the United Malays National Organisation (UMNO), in the 1970s. Mr Anwar rode the rising waves of political Islam, capitalising on the space available to organise around religion and the growing international movement of Muslim empowerment surrounding the 1979 Iranian Revolution. The co-opting of Mr Anwar into UMNO was the first of many political moves in their relationship, as Mr Anwar became a protégé who rose quickly up the ranks. Mr Anwar's charisma and ability to mobilise followers served to neutralise opposition to UMNO within Malaysian society. The 1980s and early 90s were a heyday for Malaysia, with rapid economic growth and gains in development. Dr Mahathir's leadership had put the country on the international stage, in an era where Asia was seen to be rising in influence. Mr Anwar's loyalty and role were an integral part of Malaysia's success in this period. In 1993, Mr Anwar emerged as the leading contender to replace Dr Mahathir, winning a decisive victory for himself within UMNO. At that time, Mr Anwar wrote his first book, The Asian Renaissance, picking up on the momentum and aspirations in the region and distinguishing himself as an Asian public intellectual. He began to openly discuss the need for political reform, showcasing a difference in the two men as one who wanted to hold on to power and another who aspired to win it through calls for reform. Crunch time The reckoning would come after the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis. In 1998 Mr Anwar challenged Dr Mahathir for control of the party. The challenge was filled with vicious personal attacks across the political divide, as ideological struggles over policy melded with allegations of corruption. Mr Anwar failed in his challenge, as Dr Mahathir proved adept at controlling the levers of power. Mr Anwar was beaten up, charged and convicted in events that shook Malaysia's political system to the core. Betrayal was viciously punished as power was retained at all cost. Dr Mahathir rejected calls for political reform and held on by winning the 1999 election. The reformasi movement calling for change was born, with Mr Anwar as its jailed leader. The 1998-99 cataclysm was to set a pattern that has shaped political contests for more than two decades, as every election was won by the person who personified political change. Even the mandates won by Abdullah Badawi in 2004 and then Najib Razak in 2013 were embedded with labels as reformers. Malaysians have closely identified with the need to improve governance. Mr Anwar remained in prison until 2004, released by Abdullah Badawi who became prime minister after Dr Mahathir stepped down in 2003. While initially popular, Mr Abdullah failed to meet the expectations of the public and stakeholders within his party, and lost decisively in the 2008 election. Dr Mahathir returned to political life to assure the political downfall of Mr Abdullah through open criticism and behind-the-scene manoeuvres within UMNO. The man who had released Mr Anwar faced Dr Mahathir's political wrath. In stepped another of Dr Mahathir's protégés - Mr Najib - who assumed the mantle of leadership in 2009. Mr Anwar was now the leader of the opposition, having successfully brought together different groups to make gains in 2008. Mr Najib followed the Mahathir playbook and convicted Mr Anwar of sodomy in a tainted political trial. But Mr Najib made the same mistake as Mr Abdullah, failing at national leadership. Changing sides The 2015 1MDB scandal and ostentatious displays of wealth tied to perceived corruption provoked strong nationalistic responses by Dr Mahathir, who openly criticised Mr Najib's leadership. Mr Najib fought Dr Mahathir, engaging in personal attacks, purging him from the party and threatening charges. Mr Najib pushed Dr Mahathir back into Mr Anwar's fold. In 2016 Dr Mahathir began collaborating with the opposition and assumed its leadership in December. An integral part of this relationship involved turning power over to Mr Anwar, after securing his release and pardon. The 92-year old steered the opposition toward victory this month, calling for Mr Najib's removal, reinstating the rule of law and political reforms. Mr Anwar's agenda of the 1990s was co-opted by the target of those criticisms, the very person who had repudiated and punished Mr Anwar for his call for change. Today, with Mr Anwar's release, the two men are allies again. They both publicly attest a commitment to political reform. The betrayals of the past, however, are there, and how much these are put aside for a shared goal is not clear. The timing of the turnover of power and scope of political reform are likely to emerge as points of difference, as for both men power has been central in their trajectories. Now more than ever Malaysians hope these men focus on loyalty to the country as opposed to personal interest and work together as allies toward strengthening Malaysia.

However, in a test case, the Traffic Penalty Tribunal found a driver was not liable to pay because Halton Council had not correctly advertised the fee. The council has disputed this, and said it was not obliged to repay motorists. A spokeswoman said: \"Any suggestion that the council has no power to charge or enforce tolls or that the council is acting 'illegally' is misleading, inaccurate and wrong in law.\" She said this was because the tribunal's ruling \"does not have general effect\" and could not \"remove the obligation to pay\". The Scrap Mersey Tolls campaign group described the council's position as \"scandalous\". A spokesman said: \"We will be contacting other interested parties with a view to taking court action against the council.\" The £600m bridge, which became the second crossing between Runcorn and Widnes, is the largest infrastructure project in England outside London. More than 10 million vehicles have crossed the bridge and, as well as the tolls, about 250,000 penalty charge notices have been issued for failing to pay, according to the council. The bridge's operators estimated £1m of fines had been issued in the first month. The government said tolls would be scrapped once the cost of the bridge's creation was met, but campaigners believe the tolls are an unfair charge on local residents and businesses. Adam Snow, an expert in road traffic law at Liverpool John Moores University, said: \"The council's position is correct as a matter of law, but it isn't a 'fair' position to hold. \"What motorists have got is a right to judicial review and take the council to the high court. The problem is that could cost £50,000, which you're not going to do for a £2 charge.\" The council previously said it was updating its procedures to make the charges clearer. Analysis: Claire Hamilton, BBC political reporter Today's decision will be a huge disappointment to potentially thousands of motorists. Many hoped the tribunal ruling would mean the council would have to waive or repay fines, and even reimburse tolls that had been paid during the first six months since the bridge opened. However, it is clear the council won't be moved from its position. It might still face more costly legal action from motorists and campaigners who've seen the whole tolling system as deeply unfair from the start.",

            "input": "By Ian YoungsArts reporter, BBC News There is a premier league of leading subsidised theatre companies that can take their hit shows to the West End, to Broadway and into cinemas, attract private funding and lure top talent. And the gap between that top tier and other publicly-funded theatres is growing. That is one conclusion that can be drawn from BBC research comparing production levels in 2009 and 2014. This research analysed 20 theatres that each get more than £1m per year in government grants, plus a further 42 venues and touring production companies that get between £250,000 and £1m per year. I compared production levels in 2009 and 2014 because 2009 was before the latest cuts began, and five years is a nice number. I was expecting to find a story about theatres cutting production numbers and cutting new writing. What has emerged is a different story - one of most theatres finding ways to deal with the cuts while maintaining, or increasing, production levels and new writing. They have become more efficient, more resourceful and more entrepreneurial, without simply playing it safe. At the 20 best-funded theatres, which each get more than £1m per year, there were 23% more full professional productions in 2014 compared with five years earlier. That is despite a total government funding cut of 2.1% to those theatres between 2009/10 and 2014/15 (not seismic - but around 19% once inflation is taken into account). The 42 smaller companies have had their government grants cut by 0.25% over those five years - or 17% in real terms. At these 42 lesser-funded venues and touring companies, the numbers of shows have not gone up, but nor have they dropped significantly. And despite the received wisdom that new plays get cut when times are tough because they are more difficult to sell, there has in fact been a rise in new writing. Who is in the premier league? The National Theatre gets the biggest government grant, at £17.6m. But that is down by £1.6m, or 9%, since 2009. However, box office takings from the National's hit shows have shot up in that time. War Horse, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time and One Man Two Guvnors have all been to the West End and Broadway as well as on tour. Some 492,000 people bought tickets for National shows in the West End and on tour in 2009/10. That quadrupled to two million in 2013/14. So when the National needed £1.7m to build The Shed, a temporary theatre specialising in new writing while one of its auditoria was being refurbished in 2013 and '14, the money came from War Horse's Broadway profits. Therefore, War Horse paid for a new play about gender politics inspired by the controversial single Blurred Lines, a drama set in a homeless hostel and a thriller about a family holiday gone wrong. It is an example of how a major subsidised theatre has become more commercial - and used its new income to pay for riskier new work that may go on to be the next hit. 'Staggering' fundraising The National Theatre is top of this theatrical league. Also up there is the Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC), which balanced its Bardic staples with West End and Broadway runs of its adaptation of Roald Dahl's Matilda and a festival of new plays by women last year. The National Theatre of Scotland had a West End transfer of Let The Right One In, as well as staging new musicals about eccentric poet Ivor Cutler and teenage girls who fought a friend's deportation. At the Young Vic in London, new works tackled topics from Syria to synesthesia, while the venue took its crowd-pleasing productions of The Scottsboro Boys and A Doll's House to the West End. The Young Vic's latest annual accounts also revealed a \"staggering\" £1.3m in fundraising from trusts, individuals and corporate sponsors in 2013/14. There has also been an \"increase in major donations\" at London's Royal Court. The 20 best-funded theatres also include the Birmingham Rep, which gained an extra auditorium when it moved into a refurbished building in 2013. Chichester Festival Theatre remains the regional theatre with the best track record for London transfers. At the West Yorkshire Playhouse in Leeds, annual audience figures were up 16% in 2013/14 and there has been a \"step change\" in fundraising, while the Theatre Royal Plymouth is increasing its production levels, including a \"major increase\" in new writing. These venues will point out that any progress is down to much hard work and ingenuity, and that they are still buffeted by the prevailing economic winds. The Bristol Old Vic, another member of the £1m+ club, said it \"fell considerably short\" of box office targets in 2013/14, the Liverpool Everyman and Playhouse says the economic climate poses a \"significant threat\", while the Birmingham Rep says this year is a \"tipping point\" where none of its shows can afford to lose money. Beyond the top 20, the lesser-funded theatres and touring companies have been required to work hard and come up with equally ingenious ideas to maintain production levels and standards. It is just that they, on the whole, have fewer options - especially outside London. 'A miracle' Do these production numbers tell the whole story? \"Absolutely it's a sign of good health and resourcefulness,\" says Rachel Tackley, president of trade body UK Theatre and director of English Touring Theatre. \"It seems like a bit of a miracle really that we've managed to produce more with less, and more new work as well.\" But others see it differently. Actors' union Equity says actors are working for fewer weeks in total at the best-subsidised theatres. It has figures for \"actor weeks\" at 16 of the 20 leading theatres examined for the BBC research. They show that actors worked for 15% fewer weeks in 2013/14 compared with 2009/10. Smaller casts \"What I think that shows is that while the number of productions has gone up, the level of production hasn't,\" says Alistair Smith, editor of The Stage newspaper. \"What that would seem to indicate is that it's a change in the business model, moving away from the more traditional producing theatre model of having shows sit down for quite a long time and run for a month or so, to a model where you have more shows doing shorter runs, possibly with smaller casts as well.\" The future outlook for the economic climate is still stormy, and the strong fear in the world of theatre is that we ain't seen nothing yet. Central government will need to make more big cuts, while local authorities, which also fund many arts organisations, will also come under more financial pressure. Many of the best-funded theatres have put themselves in a relatively strong position. Other companies may struggle more. But if there is one rule in theatreland, it is that the show must go on.",

'Compassionate' \"Addiction is not a choice, it's a healthcare issue,\" Mr Ó Ríordáin told the London School of Economics IDEAS Forum. \"This is why I believe it is imperative that we approach our drug problem in a more compassionate and sensitive way.\" The junior minister said the Republic of Ireland, particularly Dublin, had a \"problem with street injecting\". \"These drug users are at increased risk of overdose and blood-borne disease infections, and the general public is at risk owing to unsafe disposal of syringes and other drug paraphernalia.\" 'Not the answer' Mr Ó Ríordáin said research had shown that supervised injecting centres helped to reduce risky behaviour among drug users that could lead to blood-borne virus transmission, overdose and death. He added: \"A medically supervised injecting centre is not the answer to the drug problem, but could form part of a suite of harm reduction measures, as a way of managing the problem.\" The Irish Times reported Mr Ó Ríordáin as saying that the centres would open next year, beginning in Dublin, followed shortly afterwards by Cork, Galway and Limerick. However, the radical proposals are likely to face some opposition, particularly ahead of a forthcoming general election due in early 2016. 'Comfort zone' Marie Byrne, the founder of the Irish addiction counselling charity, the Aisling Group International, has already criticised the plan. She told the Irish radio station Newstalk that medically supervised injecting centres create \"a comfort zone\" for drug use. Ms Byrne said a similar policy in Sydney, Australia, had failed. She claimed it had a negative effect on the areas in which the centres were based, making them \"more unsafe\" and causing property prices to fall.",

It was created by a team from the Glasgow School of Art and the University of Strathclyde. Focus groups suggested stroke survivors needed a way to keep motivated during the long road to recovery. Linda Gordon, who had a stroke last year, said: \"I think it's been a great thing, it's been really good.\" At the age of 54, Ms Gordon is only one year older than BBC presenter Andrew Marr, who suffered a stroke earlier this month. She lost the use of her right arm and leg - and has had to learn to walk again. Reflective balls Ms Gordon describes the after-effects of the stroke as \"devastating\". \"My mother had strokes, but you don't think it'll happen to you,\" she said. \"You just don't.\" Ms Gordon was the first patient to be enrolled on the Envisage trial, taking place in Lanarkshire stroke clinics. Small reflective balls are placed on her leg and thigh, allowing motion sensor cameras to capture her precise movements and show them on screen. A \"swingometer\" at the side of the screen moves into red if her position is wrong and green if she is doing an exercise correctly. Occupational therapist Gillian Sweeney explained: \"Occupational therapists and physiotherapists have always used verbal feedback and mirrors in therapy sessions. \"This technology allows us to wind it back and play it to the patient. \"Patients like to be able to see where they're going wrong and to get advice on how to correct that.\" About 30 patients have used the Envisage programme so far. Patients' homes It is hoped that larger-scale studies will follow and the technology will eventually be a standard part of stroke rehabilitation. Research fellow Dr Anne Taylor, from the Glasgow School of Art, said: \"What a lot of therapists said before is that therapy can be very prescriptive, very instructive. \"They're telling the patient what they have to do, whereas hopefully the use of the visuals will allow an interaction where the patient takes more ownership. \"The aim is to use it in patients' homes eventually.\" Ms Gordon's long recovery continues and she is now concentrating on trying to get more movement in her arm. \"I just need to learn to be patient,\" she said. \"I was so naive. I thought I'd be back at my work in a couple of months. \"Now I've spoken to people who say it takes two years to recover. It's just a slow process.\"",

Structural repairs will be carried out on the north and east façades and the main hall cannot be used for events because emergency exits are affected. Owner Macob Exchange said it was working with the council to give a positive future to a building once at the heart of the world coal trade. Construction group Macob had originally shut the Coal Exchange in Cardiff Bay in 2007 for a revamp which did not go ahead. Last year the firm was allowed to extend its 2006 permission for 116 apartments, two restaurants, shops and office space. The Grade II* listed site has been used for live music and other events since the hall was reopened in 2009. Wayne Rees, the Macob Exchange Ltd technical director, said a structural report found work was needed to \"make safe the facade on the north and east sides of the building... which unfortunately affects the emergency exit points from the main hall\". He said this meant that operations by Coal Exchange Ltd - which held a lease for running events in the main hall - would stop. Twelve tenants on the other side of the building have separate access, so will not be affected, he added. \"In the meantime, our responsibility is to our existing tenants but we are also co-operating with the council to address any health and safety concerns around the building as a whole,\" he added. Cardiff council finance cabinet member Russell Goodway said public safety was the priority. \"The Coal Exchange is unquestionably one of the most important buildings in Wales,\" he said. \"As the centrepiece of the international coal trade and business community in Cardiff for 75 years it was at the heart of Cardiff's development, and is as important to the city as the castle or City Hall. \"But it's been neglected, and has now reached a state of such disrepair that public intervention is required.\" Alternative venues are being sought for events due to take place in the Coal Exchange hall this summer. Nerys Lloyd-Pierce, the chair of Cardiff Civic Society said buildings such as the Coal Exchange form a key part of the heritage of Cardiff and Wales. She added: \"Given the costs and responsibilities involved with the ownership of listed buildings, they frequently become commercially unviable as a result of market failure. \"This is sad, as their loss will lead to the deprivation of the ability of our local communities and future generations to fully understand their built environment and their history. \" She said it was vital that owners take responsibility for their buildings. \"The Coal Exchange is not alone in its plight, however. Many buildings surrounding it suffer similar fates,\" she added.",

A FAI, scheduled for May, was earlier delayed due to coronavirus measures. Derek Pyle, Sheriff Principal of Grampian, Highland and Islands, told a remote preliminary hearing that holding the inquiry in a virtual manner had not been an easy decision to reach. However, he said he hoped it could be done in a satisfactory manner. It is thought the hearing could last up to four weeks. Martin Richardson, for the Crown, said preparations has been disrupted by the Covid-19 crisis, but that he was confident work could be completed ahead of a virtual hearing in September. Seven-year wait Sheriff Principal Pyle said it could begin on Monday 31 August, be finished towards the end of September, and his decision could be within a month at the end of October. He said that the seven-year wait for the inquiry since the crash happened meant it should be dealt with as soon as possible. Alan Rodgers, acting for relatives of those involved in the crash, expressed \"dismay\" on their behalf that there would not be a traditional inquiry in court. In 2016, a report said flight instruments were \"not monitored effectively\" by the pilots in the moments leading up to the crash. The Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) said a lack of monitoring meant a reduction in air speed was not noticed by the pilots. Attempts to recover control of the aircraft were too late, they said. The report also said the impact with the water had been \"survivable\".

Easton and Otley College was formed this year by the merger of two long-established agricultural colleges in Suffolk and Norfolk. Martyn Davey of the college said: \"We have seen the age of farmers getting older and older and we recognised this at Easton College probably 20 years ago. \"If we don't have more technicians coming in and being trained up to management level, then obviously the industry would eventually fold and food prices would go through the roof.\" 'Huge challenge' He said the college had been working on courses to attract more young people into agriculture, but that other industries tempted many away. \"There's IT and finance and things like that which are seen as very high-paying, successful-type careers whereas agriculture can be a really good career,\" he said. Pamela Forbes, NFU East Anglia regional director, said: \"Agriculture is still a major employer in the East of England, with 40,000 people directly employed within farming and many more jobs supported by the industry, but we face a huge challenge in finding the farmers of tomorrow. \"It's estimated that an additional 70,000 farmers and farm workers will have to be recruited nationally in the next five years to meet the demand.\" The union is promoting careers in agriculture to students through its Farming Delivers campaign.

But a tribal leader reportedly insisted on Monday that they had been detained by people smugglers, not kidnapped. The incident was the latest in a series of recent attacks on Egyptian Christians working in Libya. Local residents said the masked gunmen had separated the Christians from the Muslims before handcuffing them and taking them away in cars. The Egyptian authorities have not confirmed the release, first reported by Libya's al-Wasat news website. 'Dispute over money' Muftah Marzuq, head of the council of elders in the coastal city of Sirte, said the men were released after negotiations between the gunmen and local officials. \"The Egyptians were held by a group that deals in illegal people smuggling, because of a dispute involving money and transportation to the Harawa region east of Sirte,\" the AFP news agency quoted Mr Marzuq as saying. News of their disappearance emerged when a source close to the government accused Islamist group Ansar al-Sharia of having kidnapped the 13 Christians. The incident came just a few days after seven other Coptic Christians from Egypt were reportedly abducted at a fake checkpoint in Sirte as they tried to leave the city. Mr Marzuq made no mention of the earlier kidnapping. In early December, there was also an attack on the home of an Egyptian Coptic doctor in Sirte, in which he and his wife were killed. Local reports said the couple's daughter was also found dead after being abducted.

After soundchecking in the basement venue of tonight's awards (7 September) the evening before they were put up in one of the building's swanky suites. \"£5 I've just paid for some water with herbs in,\" exclaims keyboardist Edwin Congrave holding a cup of tea. An A4 'day schedule' is shoved into the Oxford band's hands and a long day begins. Mercury Prize goes to trio The xx Meanwhile, many of the 12 nominated artists begin congregating in the hotel foyer. Paul Weller looks every inch the confident favourite (or he might just look cool because he's wearing sunglasses inside), The xx clutch their suit bags and Biffy Clyro chat with Wild Beasts. \"I'm feeling a bit jittery now. I think I'm quite nervous, or it could be the hangover,\" says Foals guitarist Jimmy Smith cupping a wine glass of water walking from the lobby to the basement venue where the awards take place tonight. \"I've got to perfect my losing face.

Taking to the stage after Biffy Clyro and Laura Marling the fivesome breeze through single Spanish Sahara for their television rehearsal and greet host Jools Holland. Now, normally the nominees would head back to their plush hotel rooms to get changed into their Tuesday-best at this point. Not Foals though. \"This is the first thing we've ever done like this so we weren't sure how to play it,\" confides Jimmy looking down at his T-shirt. \"We were going to go for the proper DJs.

One shot each later, chests puffed out and they're being sprayed by the flashes of about 30 paparazzi bulbs before wandering down the red walkway in the hotel courtyard to chat to the assembled media. \"If we broke up tomorrow, getting nominated here would feel like a concrete achievement,\" says Yannis to a BBC colleague udring one of their many interviews trying to sum up what being nominated for the Mercury Prize means to them.

Show time After the \"dazzling\" of the red carpet the band are guided through a warren of corridors into the venue and to their table - decorated generously with alcohol. Foals nervously wait their turn to play live on stage during the pre-recorded Mercury programme. \"Some pretty great performances so far,\" says Jimmy anxiously. \"Laura Marling was my favourite.\" Following on from jazz outsiders Kit Downes Trio, Foals take to the Mercury Prize stage and rattle through their track confidently to huge applause from the hundreds of guests seated in the room. Murmurs around them suggest the 14/1 outsiders could have swung the judges (not that they're supposed to take it into account). Post track Jimmy nips out for a cigarette: \"I feel pretty good now. I didn't realise how nervous I was. \"It's a different kind of show, just all these eyes staring. \"It's an hour and a half until we find out who the winners and losers are and we get dinner in the meantime. I hope there's a cheese platter.\" The result After a nerve jangling wait (and a cod dinner) the hyped atmosphere is almost at breaking point as host Jools Holland arrives on stage to deliver the result live on BBC2. Foals, and the 11 other nominees, collectively hold their breath. He opens the small envelop to reveal… The xx. \"Gutted, gutted,\" says Jimmy leaving the table. \"Everyone didn't know what to do with themselves. I was looking over at Mumford's [And Sons'] table and everyone was stone cold still. \"We tried not to get our hopes up at all but then you do, don't you? I thought Paul Weller had got it. \"The xx though - I'm happy. They're doing something unique, they're causing a stir. They're great and they're humble about it.\" Late evening Sat still at their table as The xx are rushed off to be drenched in the media spotlight the band share a reflective moment. \"What happens now? Now, we all get dropped by the label,\" laughs Jimmy half on his way to the after-show party. \"We're looking in Yellow Pages for jobs. No - now I think we all go hang out and have a few drinks.\"",

The college said its findings suggested mental health services were approaching a \"tipping point\" and that the situation was \"simply unacceptable\". Ministers said inpatient beds should be available for those who needed them. The survey also suggests that critically unwell patients are being sent home because no bed can be found for them. Children moved Investigations in recent months by BBC News and the online journal Community Care have highlighted that more than 1,700 mental health beds have been cut and that patients are travelling huge distances to access care. Sectioning someone under the Mental Health Act - denying them their liberty - should only be done when a person is a risk either to themselves or others. It is a legal process led by a social worker (an approved mental health professional) working alongside 2 doctors. A patient cannot be sectioned purely to secure a bed, but this survey suggests doctors are being influenced towards detaining someone if it'll make it more likely a bed can be accessed. The key findings include: Doctors also reported sending adult patients long distances to access care and admitting people into a bed belonging to another patient who had been sent home for a period of trial leave. 'Very alarming' One young psychiatrist, who did not want to be named, told BBC News that a patient had died as a result of not being able to secure a bed locally. \"The patient presented to us, they needed to be admitted, we couldn't admit them locally, they were admitted to a hospital hundreds of miles away. \"The care they received was not what we'd have done and they died.\" The findings have been condemned by the college. Dr Howard Ryland, who oversees its psychiatric training described them as \"very alarming\". \"People are beginning to recognise that there is a real crisis in mental health,\" he added. \"This survey shows a picture of the very severe pressure that frontline staff are under in terms of securing the care that people need. \"The NHS doesn't have the resources to cope with the ever increasing demand. The system doesn't have the services to provide everyone with the care they need.\" 'Vulnerable' His comments were supported by the Prof Bailey, president of the college, who said: \"This survey provides further evidence that mental health services are approaching a tipping point. \"Continued cuts to services can only result in further distress and discomfort for patients, many of whom are young, vulnerable, some of whom are forced to receive care far from home. This situation is simply not acceptable.\" The mental health charity SANE called the situation a scandal. Labour's Shadow Health Minister Luciana Berger urged the government to take responsibility and \"get to grips with this unacceptable failure before more lives are put at risk.\" In a statement, care minister Norman Lamb said: \"It is not acceptable to detain someone under the Mental Health Act purely because they need an inpatient bed. \"Decisions about detention must always be taken in the best interests of patients at risk of harming themselves or others. \"Inpatient beds must always be available for those who need them. We are scrutinising local NHS plans to make sure they put mental health on a par with physical health.\"",

            "input": "By Mark DalyBBC Scotland Investigations and Panorama The Nike Oregon Project (NOP) scored a historic one-two as its two biggest stars - Mo Farah and his friend and training partner, the American Galen Rupp - left a field of east Africans trailing in their wake. Watching from side of the track was the architect of this triumph, NOP head coach Alberto Salazar, widely believed to be one of the most powerful coaches in US track and field. As a coach, he embraces the latest innovations - altitude tents fitted around the beds of his top athletes, long sessions on underwater and zero gravity treadmills - but it was his track record which lured Farah to the project's base in Portland, Oregon, in 2011. The body which runs the sport in Britain, UK Athletics, was so impressed by Salazar that it hired him in 2013 as consultant to its endurance programme, a position he holds today. There is no suggestion Farah has used banned drugs or violated anti-doping rules. But the methods of the man who coached him to glory are now under scrutiny after a number of Salazar's former athletes and staff spoke out. For more than a year I have been investigating this story, collaborating with the US Investigative journalism outfit ProPublica. The allegations range from the abuse of banned steroids, to subverting the Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE) process, in which an athlete can apply to use a banned drug or method if there is a genuine medical need. If proved, both offences would result in lengthy bans. Salazar, who strenuously denies any wrongdoing, is also accused of giving athletes prescription medications that they either did not need or were not prescribed in the hope that a competitive advantage could be gained. Alberto Salazar and Galen Rupp were invited to be interviewed. They declined but provided statements. The allegations come at a pivotal time for athletics, a sport reeling from recent traumas such as the Russian athletics whistleblower scandal and a spate of positive drugs tests in endurance events. THE PROJECT The Nike Oregon Project was set up in 2001. It was the brainchild of Alberto Salazar, and bankrolled by Nike. It had the financial backing to match its ambition. Salazar was an American running legend, embedded into the DNA of Nike; he even has a building named after him in the sprawling Nike campus in Oregon. He won the New York marathon three years in a row and ran himself unconscious in winning the Boston marathon in 1982. When NOP launched, its intention was to utilise American talent to challenge the dominance of the east Africans in the distance events - and Salazar had discovered the figure around which the project would be based, a 15-year-old from Oregon called Galen Rupp. Rupp was the quintessential American \"high school phenom\". \"I wanted to start the Oregon Project with the best available professional runners, but ultimately, Galen was going to be the star,\" Salazar later explained in his autobiography. THE TRAINING PARTNER Stuart Eagon, also from Portland, Oregon, was a friend of Rupp's. He was not part of the project but raced against and trained with Rupp. Now 28 and a documentary maker, Eagon told me about an incident in 2003 involving a drug called prednisone. A glucocorticoid, prednisone can block pain and enhance oxygen consumption, making it a prohibited substance during competition under the World Anti-Doping Agency's (Wada) rules without a TUE, elite sport's version of a sick note. \"Galen, myself and Alberto were outside a hotel room in North Carolina for the national two-mile high school championships,\" recalled Eagon. \"We were going on our morning run and Alberto said to Galen: 'Have you taken your prednisone yet this morning?'\" Eagon knew it was a powerful drug because his grandmother had been taking it. \"Galen went back up to the room, took the prednisone, or so I assumed - we just waited for about 10 minutes - came back down and we went on the run.\" Eagon says he was surprised a 17-year-old could be on prednisone but did not appear to be ill. Two years later, at a race in France, Eagon says he raised it with Rupp, who denied being on prednisone. \"After that I felt as though the dynamic of our relationship changed,\" said Eagon. I have heard from various sources that Rupp has used prednisone regularly, but he has asthma and allergies, which could account for its use. When asked about TUEs, Rupp told the BBC: \"Earlier in my career, Wada required TUEs for my asthma medication. \"The few other TUEs I have applied for and received related to the treatment of severe asthma flare-ups.\" Alberto Salazar added: \"Galen only took prednisone when needed to treat an asthma flare up…under the direction of his doctor for a limited period of time\". John Stiner is a massage therapist who spent time at Park City in Utah, a high-altitude base popular with Salazar's NOP athletes. Stiner says he worked with Salazar's group for several weeks in 2008, shortly before the US Olympic trials. After the group, which included Rupp, left, Stiner said Salazar called him up. \"Alberto contacted me and requested that we go up and clean up the [apartments],\" said Stiner. \"[There were) some products that he wanted us to ship back to him. He said: 'I don't want you to get the wrong idea.' \"I was really unsure what he meant and he goes: 'There's a tube of Androgel [testosterone gel] in the bedroom and it's under some clothing.'\" Stiner says Salazar asked him to post the testosterone gel back to him in Oregon, and said it was for his own personal use because he had a heart condition. \"I kind of thought a little bit like: 'Really?' Because he had just had his heart attack the year before, and I thought that was a little strange. \"So I Googled it and it said 'contra-indicated for anybody with a heart condition'.\" The BBC and ProPublica spoke to several cardiologists about whether it was likely testosterone would be prescribed for anybody with a heart condition. All said it would be highly unusual. Stiner was not the only person telling this story. Allan Kupscak, another massage therapist who worked with the project for several years, said testosterone gel was seen regularly around the athletes. Kupscak told me he'd been fired in 2011 after NOP deemed him to have breached his contract. He said: \"When we would travel, at the airport or something, Alberto let it be known to everyone, all the athletes, not to touch his bag, because he had his testosterone cream, for his personal use, in there,\" He added: \"If you're worried about someone touching it and possibly getting contaminated, why don't you take it in tablet form or some other form?\" Wada, the body in charge of global anti-doping efforts, says athlete support personnel carrying banned substances without acceptable justification are guilty of a breach and liable for a two-year ban. Salazar did not respond to questions about this but he did reassert his commitment to \"clean sport\". \"I believe in a methodical, dedicated approach to training and have never, nor ever will, endorse the use of banned substances.\" Steve Magness was just 25, starting to make his name as a coach, when the call came. When Salazar first phoned him Magness thought it was a joke, but it soon became clear that the coaching legend wanted the young man to be his number two. \"[But] during that first track season I started getting hints that this might not be what I'd signed up for,\" he said. Magness had a story to tell that he claimed connected Salazar, Rupp and the head physiologist of the on-campus Nike laboratory, Dr Loren Myhre. And he had a document. Magness shared an office with Salazar and one day in 2011 a batch of lab reports were delivered to Salazar's desk from the lab. They contained years' worth of athletes' blood tests, which were used to see how runners responded to altitude training. Magness looked through them. When he came to a page charting Rupp's results, he said he was stunned to find a note which related to a period in 2002 when the 16-year-old Rupp was still in high school. It indicated Rupp was \"presently on prednisone and testosterone medication\". Magness was already aware Rupp used prednisone - and had separate concerns about that - but he knew testosterone was in a different league. \"That was incredibly shocking,\" he said. \"I actually took a picture of it. I wanted to have evidence in case something happened.\" He says he confronted Salazar, who said it must be a mistake, blaming the lab's long-standing head physiologist Dr Myhre and his battle with a motor neurone condition. Dr Myhre died in 2012 but the record Magness asked about was from 2002, a year when Nike gave Dr Myhre an award for his work. Magness says Salazar said Myhre was \"crazy\" and \"must be mixing it up with something else\", but the young coach says he did not buy it, and says Salazar never returned to him with an explanation. In response to the BBC, Salazar said the legal nutritional supplement Testoboost had been incorrectly recorded as \"testosterone medication\". He added the \"allegations your sources are making are based upon false assumptions and half-truths in an attempt to further their personal agendas\". Both Rupp and Salazar strenuously denied that Rupp ever used testosterone or testosterone medication. \"I am completely against the use of performance-enhancing drugs,\" said Rupp. \"I have not taken any banned substances and Alberto has never suggested I take a banned substance.\" But this was not the only experience Magness says he had which led him to question the use of testosterone in the Salazar camp. He also shared office space with Salazar's son, Alex, who worked on the Oregon Project. Magness claims Alex was also occasionally used as a volunteer to test supplements. But in one instance, Magness says Alex told him he was testing some testosterone gel: rubbing some on, getting tested in the lab, rubbing some more on, getting tested. Magness and two other sources said the reason Alberto Salazar gave for the testing was to determine how much of the gel it would take to trigger a positive test. Salazar's apparent explanation was that they wanted to figure out if anybody could sabotage the project by furtively rubbing gel on one of their athletes at a race. \"It seemed ludicrous,\" said Magness, who said he believed it was really done so they could cheat the tests. Neither Alex nor Alberto Salazar responded to questions about this, though there is no reason to believe Alex doubted his father's reasoning for doing the tests. Magness, now head coach of the University of Houston cross-country team and the author of coach's manual \"The Science of Running\", says he lost faith in his job and by mid-2012 had agreed with Alberto Salazar to quit the project. Two months later he went to the US Anti-Doping Agency (Usada) with his concerns. Kara Goucher was an NOP superstar for seven years and is still America's most famous female distance runner. Under Salazar's guidance, she won a bronze medal in the 10,000m at the 2007 world championships and has previously only talked about him in glowing terms. Not anymore. \"He is sort of a win-at-all-costs person and it's hurting the sport,\" she said, sitting beside her husband and fellow ex-NOP athlete Adam, in their first interview about Salazar since leaving his training stable. \"I was afraid to say anything (but) I'm tired of saying 'I'm off the Oregon Project because I had a baby and I no longer fit in.'\" Goucher claims Salazar breached the spirit of the rules - and US prescription laws - by asking her to take a thyroid drug for which she did not have a prescription in order to lose weight ahead of her comeback race following the birth of her son Colten. Goucher was already taking one synthetic thyroid hormone, Levoxyl, which she had been prescribed before coming to NOP for an inherited underactive thyroid. Drug information websites indicate that Cytomel is not to be used in conjunction with other thyroid drugs, or for weight loss, and that large doses \"may cause serious harm\". Salazar did not respond to questions about Cytomel but said: \"No athlete within the Oregon Project uses a medication against the spirit of the sport we love. \"Any medication taken is done so on the advice and under the supervision of registered medical professionals.\" He also added that thyroid medicine is not banned under Wada rules and said he was unaware of any performance-enhancing benefits. The Gouchers had another story to tell, claiming they witnessed Rupp and Salazar attempting to subvert the TUE process on two occasions. At both the 2007 and 2011 Worlds, Kara Goucher said Salazar coached Rupp on how to get medical permission for an intravenous (IV) drip of saline before his races. She says Salazar told her: \"We have it down. I've coached him on what to say. The doctors will ask him when was the last time you go to the bathroom and he'll say I don't remember. They'll say when was the last time you were able to drink and he'll say I can't.\" Its performance enhancing benefits are not proven, but Wada has banned the practice of IV drips, and anyone proved manipulating the system to try to get one is liable for a ban. Goucher says she does not know why they wanted the IV drip in Osaka and Daegu but says \"they were manipulating the system to get it\". Salazar responded: \"I have never coached an athlete to manipulate testing procedures or undermine the rules that govern our sport…and follow the process.\" The Gouchers left NOP in 2011, though Kara remained a Nike-sponsored athlete. In 2013, while still a Nike athlete, Kara took her concerns to Usada with her by-then retired husband Adam. They addressed them to Usada's boss Travis Tygart, the man who brought down Armstrong. The BBC is aware of at least seven athletes or staff associated with NOP who say they have gone to Usada with concerns about alleged illicit practices and unethical behaviour. Usada did not confirm or deny the existence of any investigations but said it \"takes all reports of doping seriously and we aggressively follow up on every report\". I took the allegations to Wada's headquarters in Montreal. In an interview with its chief executive David Howman, I asked about the claim that Rupp was given testosterone in high school. \"It doesn't matter who the coach is or who the athlete is, that behaviour is not condoned,\" said Howman. Asked if he was concerned by the allegations, he said: \"I would be not only disturbed, I would be very disappointed and that's why I think it needs to be scrutinised by us as an independent body.\" None of the insiders I spoke to has seen any evidence that Mo Farah was doping. But do these allegations raise questions about his choice of coach? I showed them to Andy Parkinson, the former head of UK Anti Doping. He said: \"On the basis of the allegations that you've shown me … any athlete who's involved or associated with this group, including Mo Farah, should be seeking the necessary assurances around the fact that they're operating within a safe environment. \"Athletes have got a responsibility to…ask the question of themselves, do I feel comfortable in this environment and am I going to be able to continue to compete clean in this environment?\" Mo Farah said: \"I have not taken any banned substances and Alberto has never suggested that I take a banned substance. \"From my experience, Alberto and the Oregon Project have always strictly followed Wada rules.\" Catch Me If You Can will be shown on BBC1 at 2100 on Wednesday, and afterwards on the BBC iPlayer.",

            "input": "By Jonathan BallBBC News The work, by a Canadian-Chinese team, is published in PLoS One. Researchers studied the fossil remains of two Sinocalliopteryx dinosaurs and found they had been feasting on primitive birds and flying dinosaurs. The prey could have been scavenged, but they argue that the presence of several birds in the stomach of one fossil implied the prey was actively hunted. The researchers suggested that to catch their prey, the dinosaurs used ambush hunting techniques similar to modern cats. Determining how dinosaurs lived is difficult - much of what we know is conjecture; built from a smidgen of material evidence and prodigious amounts of informed opinion. Fossils provide one of the few tangible links back to the Cretaceous and Jurassic eras - when dinosaurs ruled the Earth. They represent a petrified and rudimentary snapshot of prehistoric life. Good quality fossils are littered with clues that help palaeontologists rebuild dinosaur life. And fossils harbouring vestiges of a dinosaur's last meal tell us much about the diets and feeding habits of these prehistoric creatures. As Prof Mike Benton of the University of Bristol points out: \"Any fossil with stomach contents is valuable because it tells us definitively what the animal was eating on the day it died.\" Dr Phil Bell of the Pipestone Creek Dinosaur Initiative in Canada was particularly interested in the feeding habits of a species of dinosaur called Sinocalliopteryx gigas. The hunter and the hunted Sinocalliopteryx is a member of the Compsognathidae family of dinosaurs. Compsognathids were ground-dwelling dinosaurs that walked on powerful hind legs. Previous fossil finds suggested they were swift hunters feeding freely on lizards, dinosaurs, and mammals. At 2.5m in length, Sinocalliopteryx was much larger than other members of the Compsognathidae family. Two high quality Sinocalliopteryx fossils were recovered from the Yixian Formation in the Jehol Provence of north east China. This formation - dating back to the Cretaceous period and rich in fossils - has yielded a number of significant dinosaur finds. It was the stomach contents of the two well-preserved Sinocalliopteryx fossils that Dr Bell was particularly interested in. Trapped within the first fossil were the remnants of a single Sinornithosaurus - a feathered flying dinosaur, measuring about 1m (3ft 4in). This was tantalising evidence that these ground dwelling dinosaurs ate flying creatures. Findings from the second fossil were even more revealing - inside were the preserved remains of two primitive crow-sized birds, called Confuciusorni. Commenting on the significance of his find Dr Bell told BBC News: \"It's so rare to get a glimpse into how dinosaurs - animals that have been extinct for millions of years - behaved. We now know more about the diet of this species than any other dinosaur.\" Slowly, slowly catchy monkey Two specimens, both containing flying prey, suggested that Sinocalliopteryx had a penchant for aerial quarry and also had the tools to catch them - but how? Dr Bell's view is that the dinosaurs were wily hunters: \"Cats are a perfect example; they are incredibly stealthy, stalking their prey before pouncing. \"I can imagine a Sinocalliopteryx stalking a bird through the underbrush waiting for the right moment to leap into the air and catching a bird mid-flight. \"They were elegant animals with long muscular legs and sharp \"chompers\" - perfect killing machines.\" Prof Jingmai O'Connor from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, agrees: \"Yes, the presence of more than one Confuciusornis suggests Sinocalliopteryx was a stealthy and adept predator.\" A view shared by Prof Benton, who thought they might hunt by \"creeping up on these agile birds, perhaps when they were feeding on the ground\". However, this conclusion has not gained universal approval. Prof Zhonghe Zhou, also from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said: \"I am not quite convinced by the conclusion that Sinocalliopteryx was necessarily an adept stealthy hunter. \"It was undoubtedly an adept hunter, and could have been stealthy, but there is not yet enough evidence to support this.\" Dr Jakob Vinther, of the University of Bristol, agrees: \"The fact they were having a diverse diet of both small and large dinosaurs and primitive birds could suggest that they were not specialist predators but more likely a scavenger - a sort of vulture\". Although, \"The finding of two bird specimens in the same Sinocalliopteryx does bring the potential that it was actively hunting them. \"The only way to strongly argue for this hypothesis would be to have more evidence\", he added.",

In Venice, guests at a four-star hotel are charged 4.50 euros (£3.75) a night, while in Amsterdam visitors are charged a 7% tourist tax plus 3 euros a night. The LGA acknowledged that tourism taxes could have an impact on visitor numbers and stated it would be \"unfair\" to levy charges on visitors using traditional accommodation like hotels but not those using Airbnb.

Ahead of the journey, journalists seated on red velvet chairs in his palace got to quiz the king, as he shared his thoughts on Brexit. King Willem-Alexander said he and and his government regretted Brexit and anticipated changes to the current trade arrangements. He would have liked the EU referendum result to go the other way, but said they respected the sovereign British people's choice. A curiosity of Dutch royal rules is that the king cannot be directly quoted - leaving his thoughts to be paraphrased in print. Trade with the UK will change, he said, but he believes it will still be very strong after the UK leaves the EU. The Dutch and British have worked together as neighbours for centuries and he thinks that will continue after Brexit, he said. And King Willem-Alexander knows a thing or two about crossing the British border: he flies passenger jets for KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, his country's national carrier. Inverness tops the list of UK destinations he loves flying to. Beyond maintaining his pilot's licence, he describes flying as a very serious hobby. With up to 200 passengers who depend on him for their safety, it's a hobby that allows him to focus and forget everything he leaves behind. It's also fun. When he arrives on 23 October, however, the occasion will be much more formal. He is looking forward to a demonstration of the joint British-Dutch marine corps on the Thames, and a visit to Brixton in south London - an example of how once-deprived communities can become hotbeds for creativity and business innovation. The sprightly 51-year-old is the second-youngest monarch in Europe, and is popular with his people. He views his role as that of uniting the people, being authentic and relevant - traits that some may recognise in the younger generation of British royals. But he doesn't think the glamorous Meghan and Harry model can be exported. It's difficult to compare such things across borders, he says. You have to be true to yourself - you can't maintain anything else long term. And King Willem-Alexander does some things differently to his British counterparts. His three teenage daughters attend state schools, and are largely left alone by the Dutch press, where tabloid paparazzi are not really a concern. The royal family's privacy is generally respected. But like Britain's Prince Harry, the king did not marry into royalty. He met his flamboyant Argentinian wife, Queen Máxima, when she was working for a private bank, and he initially hid his royal status from her as they courted. A sceptical Dutch public was won over as quickly as their new queen learned Dutch, embracing her role and injecting a dose of Latin American sass into the centuries-old monarchy. His Majesty's advice for Meghan and Harry on a happy marriage is simple: as long as they're true to each other, they can withstand all the pressures from outside. And that advice is not limited exclusively to royal households, he says.",

He was also found guilty of indecent assault and serious sexual assault, also charges he denied. After Imiela's conviction, jurors heard he was known as the M25 rapist over attacks he was jailed for, in 2004. Following sentencing, the Metropolitan Police said it was \"likely\" Imiela carried out further attacks on women. Detectives were able to charge him with the 1987 rape, 23 years later, through improved DNA evidence techniques. Judge John Bevan QC told the defendant he had \"not expressed one jot of remorse\", despite being convicted for a second time in connection with the attacks. \"I find this case saddening,\" Judge Bevan said. \"I disagree with Mr Hearnden's (prosecutor) suggestion that you hate women. On what I have heard in this trial... you seem to me to have a dislike of humanity in general.\" He said the victim's \"life was blighted from at least 1990 onwards by mental illness\". \"You are wholly unrepentant about your life of guns, rape and general violence... despite having served eight years of your life sentence,\" the judge added. He said Imiela remains as dangerous as he was when he was jailed eight years ago. His trial was told that more than a decade after the attack on his 1987 victim, Imiela carried out a series of rapes between November 2001 and November 2002, involving women he did not know. He carried out seven sex attacks, including one on a girl aged 10, before he was caught. During this latest trial, the 1987 victim's mother-in-law, former husband and daughter gave evidence. Imiela grabbed the mother-of-two as she walked home from a pub and threatened to kill her before repeatedly punching her. Giving evidence, her ex-husband said he was \"really upset\" to learn he was two metres away when she was attacked. The court heard the victim could see her husband but was unable to call out as Imiela had his hand over her mouth. Police said Imiela held a brick inches from her face during the attack. Her daughter told the jury she remembered seeing blood on her mother's clothes and hearing her say she had been raped. Imiela's conviction comes after officers were able to match his DNA, in 2010, with the DNA samples taken from the crime scene. The Met said DNA samples were taken from the scene but, in 1987, it had been insufficient to provide a profile for a suspect. In 2009, when the samples were upgraded in line with the current forensic techniques, Imiela was identified as the attacker. 'Unaware of all offending' After the verdict, Det Insp John Foulkes said he hoped it would bring \"some comfort and closure for the family\". \"[But] it is likely that the police are unaware of all his offending and I appeal, in particular, to anybody that was potentially a victim of his in the late 1980s or between 1996 and 2002, to come forward,\" he said. Andrew Hadik, for the Crown Prosecution Service, said of the victim's death in the 1987 case that \"the absence of a key witness is not an automatic barrier to justice\". \"The Crown Prosecution Service successfully applied to have the victim's original statement read out to ensure that the jury heard her evidence,\" he said. \"The subsequent death of a victim does not mean defendants can expect to escape prosecution.\" Related Internet Links HM Courts Service",

The attack happened in Sousse, a popular tourist resort, and most of those killed are believed to be British. The Irish department of foreign affairs has said there are \"grave\" concerns for two other Irish people believed to have been caught up in the attack. Islamic State extremists have said they were responsible. So far, five Britons have been confirmed dead by the Foreign Office, and the Tunisian health ministry said eight Britons had been identified among the dead. Tunisia's prime minister Habib Essid said the majority of the 38 people killed in the attack were British. He has announced a clampdown on security and said army reservists would be deployed to archaeological sites and resorts. David Cameron, the UK prime minister, said the country must be prepared for a high British death toll. Thomson and First Choice have said their customers were among \"a number of fatalities\", and they have sent 10 planes to bring home 2,500 tourists. On Friday, Charlie Flanagan, the Irish minister for foreign affairs, said his department was working to establish if any other Irish citizens had been killed or injured in \"these brutal attacks\". He said they were advising people planning to travel to Tunisia to \"exercise extreme caution\". \"For those Irish citizens who are due to travel to Tunisia over the coming days and who now do not wish to travel, they should discuss their arrangements with the relevant travel companies,\" he said. \"Irish citizens in Tunisia should remain extremely vigilant and follow the instructions of the police, tour operators, and their hotel staff.\" Irish embassy staff, including Irish Ambassador to Spain David Cooney, who is also accredited with Tunisia, arrived in Sousse on Friday night to provide consular assistance to citizens caught up in the attack. Ms Carty, who was in her 50s, was on holiday with her husband who made contact with the Irish consular authorities. Irish politician Ray Butler said he had spoken to her husband. \"It was one of the hardest phone calls I've ever made and it's so sad to hear what happened, for this lady to be enjoying her holidays out on the beach and to lose her life,\" the County Meath representative told Irish broadcaster RTÉ. \"I've been told that one of their family relations had given them the holiday as a gift, because her husband had undergone heart surgery, so they could go and enjoy themselves.\" Tunisia has been on high alert since March when militants killed 22 people, mainly foreign tourists, in an attack on a museum in the capital Tunis. The attack on Friday happened at a beach near the Hotel Imperial Marhaba, officials said. Tunisia is a popular destination for Irish tourists. Dublin woman Elizabeth O'Brien, who was on holiday with her two sons in Sousse, told RTÉ how they had to run for their lives. \"I saw a (hot air) balloon collapse down, then rapid firing, then I saw two of the people who were going to go up in the balloon start to run towards me - because I thought it was fireworks,\" she said. \"I thought 'oh my God, it sounds like gunfire', so I just ran to the sea to my children and grabbed our things and as I was running towards the hotel, the waiters and the security on the beach started saying 'run, run run!' and we just ran to our room.\" Travel blogger Johnny Ward, from Kilkeel in County Down, is in the Gammarth resort, close to the capital Tunis, with his mother. Gammarth is about 100km north of where the attack happened, and Mr Ward said there was \"outrage from the locals here just as much as there is from the tourists\". Security appeared to have been tightened in the country and the atmosphere \"feels quite on-edge\", he added. \"That adds to the whole nervousness, because the fact there is a police presence would suggest everything is not right.\"",

He was one of the survivors. I believe that he was in the sea for many hours. He never could swim, so it is a wonder he survived. My father ingested a large quantity of oil when in the sea. As a result, he developed duodenal ulceration and was operated on shortly after his return to Britain. He had very painful trouble with his digestive system for the rest of his life. I have a painting of the sinking of the Arandora Star. It was painted by a German survivor at 'Donalsen POW Camp' (Donaldson's Hospital, Edinburgh) in 1941. The painting was given to my father, then a camp guard. It may be the only eyewitness record of the tragedy. Linda Baldi, Salerno My grandparents from La Spezia owned a cafe in Kilmacolm. During the war my grandfather was sent to the Isle of Man and my grandmother to Glasgow. Despite being born in Scotland dad wasn't allowed to continue his studies and was sent to do manual labour on a local farm. He and his sister had to run the cafe between them as best they could. They had no problems with the locals at all, after all they had grown up with them, gone to school with them and are still friends with some of them today. Dad never complained about being mistreated during the war years, his only regret was that he never managed to complete his studies. He set up business in Glasgow, Dino's and Ferrari's in Buchanan Street and Sauchiehall Street. On the other hand, growing up in the 60s and 70s, I suffered a few snide remarks about the Tallies. Krys Inglis, Irvine My grandfather and eldest uncle who were born in Italy were interned on the Isle of Man. My two younger uncles, both born in Scotland, went to war and were both posted to Italy, one with the Highland Light Infantry and the other with the Gordon Highlanders. They bumped into each other in a street in Palermo late in the war. My grandparents house in the Gorbals had windows broken and my grandmother, mother and an aunt were verbally abused. When I was born in 1947 and we lived in the Gorbals I was always known as \"the Tally's wean\" - something to be proud of according to my Scottish father, and he was right. Brian Steel, Cupar My grandparents, Lorenzo and Anna Esposito, came over from Amalfi in Italy in the early 1920s and settled in Dundee and had four children, including my mother. My grandfather firstly owned and later worked as an employee in fish and chip shops in the Hilltown area of the city. He was never a supporter of the Fascist party. Indeed, he refused to contribute to the collection organised by the local black shirts to help finance the war in Ethiopia. On hearing the news that Italy declared war on the radio, my grandfather announced to the family that the police would be coming for him. They arrived shortly afterwards and he was taken to the Isle of Man. Marie Hermiston, Edinburgh My story is probably a bit fragmented but from what I remember of the stories told, the head of my gran's family was Dominic Margiotta. He was married to Maria D'Placido and they had a large family of nine. Three of their sons served during the war for Britain and all perished. As a migrant from Naples, Dominic Margiotta was selected to be deported on the Arandora Star. He was one of the fortunate survivors. There were others deported along with him, some of whom weren't fortunate enough to survive, one of these was a gentleman named Pelosi. Other families from the Grassmarket in and around this time were Visco, Fusco, D'Angelo, Peruzzi, Tomassi and Crolla, Angeluci, Pappa to name a few. But there were no known repercussions from Mussolini joining the war. The Grassmarket was full of Irish, Polish and Italian immigrants. The name Margiotta is fairly common in Edinburgh now as a great many of his family went on to own a chain of local shops. The Crolla family branched out into chip shops and restaurants. Antony Visocchi, New Jersey My father was a British subject and was not interned but that did not stop a mob from smashing the plate glass windows of his cafe in Leven. All of my uncles were sent to camps in the Isle of Man, Canada and Australia. One died in the Arandora Star. They were taken away in the dead of night by the police, thrown in prison and were permitted no visitors. Their wives and children were made to move to camps inland away from the coast. Although they had to close down their businesses and were deprived of income, they still had to pay the rent, mortgages and upkeep of the buildings. The memory of these events led to a deep distrust and particular dislike - to be diplomatic - of Churchill.",

He is the first Japanese-born wrestler to make it since Wakanohana in 1998. Five wrestlers from American Samoa and Mongolia have made it in the interim. Foreign wrestlers have come to dominate sumo, amid a lack of local recruits. Kisenosato, who comes from Ibaraki to the north of Tokyo and weighs 178kg (392 pounds), has been an ozeki - the second-highest rank - since 2012. After being runner-up on multiple occasions, he finally clinched his first tournament victory - and thereby his promotion to yokozuna - in the first competition of 2017. \"I accept with all humility,\" Kisenosato said in a press conference after the Japan Sumo Association formally approved him. \"I will devote myself to the role and try not to disgrace the title of yokozuna.\" What is sumo? Many Japanese fans will be pleased to see a local wrestler back at the top of a sport regarded as a cultural icon. As yokuzuna, Kisenosato, whose real name is Yutaka Hagiwara, joins three other wrestlers in sumo's ultimate rank - Hakuho, Harumafuji and Kakuryu. The trio all come from Mongolia, following a path forged by sumo bad-boy Asashoryu, who was Mongolia's first yokozuna in 2003. The last Japanese-born wrestlers to reach the top were brothers Takanohana and Wakanohana, who made it to yokozuna in 1994 and 1998 respectively. In recent years, sumo has been hit by falling numbers of Japanese recruits, partly because it is seen as a tough, highly regimented life. Young sumo wrestlers train in tightly-knit \"stables\" where they eat, sleep and practise together and are sometimes subjected to harsh treatment in the belief that it will toughen them up. In 2009, a leading coach was jailed for six years for ordering wrestlers to beat a young trainee who later died, in a case that shocked the nation. Those at the top of the sport are also expected to be role models, showing honour and humility - and can be criticised if they get it wrong. Sumo must also compete with the rising popularity of football and baseball, which have vibrant leagues that draw crowds of young Japanese fans. But the sport is attractive to wrestlers from other nations, who can earn a good living. Wrestlers have come from Estonia, Bulgaria, Georgia, China, Hawaii and Egypt, as well as Mongolia and American Samoa. As a child, Kisenosato was a pitcher in his school's baseball club before he chose to train as a wrestler at a stable in Tokyo. He made his debut in 2002 and, reported Japan's Mainichi newspaper, the 73 tournaments he took to become a yokozuna are the most by any wrestler since 1926. Speaking to reporters after the tournament victory on Monday that sealed his elevation, Kisenosato said he was pleased to be holding the Emperor's Cup trophy at last. \"I've finally got my hands on it and the sense of pleasure hasn't changed,\" he said. \"It's hard to put into words but it has a nice weight to it.\"",

A man referred to as Complainant A said he had been \"coerced\" into performing reciprocal sex acts with Mr Higgins as a young teenager, jurors heard. Mr Higgins denies 50 counts of indecent assault at Salisbury Crown Court. The charges, dating between 1971 and 1996, arose after the NSPCC set up a helpline to deal with sexual abuse in football, the jury was told. A video recording of a police interview with Complainant A, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was played to the court. \"It didn't feel right... I knew in my heart it was totally wrong,\" he said. \"I knew nothing about sex. I lost my virginity to Bob Higgins.\" Complainant A told the court that at one point he threatened to assault Mr Higgins with an axe, saying he wanted to \"pay him back\" for what he had done. Years later, he said Mr Higgins had apologised and told him \"I found God and I need to say sorry\". \"He didn't say 'I'm sorry for abusing you', just 'I'm sorry'. It's because he knew what had happened and he needed to apologise,\" Complainant A told the court.

He said he remembers someone in a BBC programme about abuse allegations in football saying \"if you remain quiet you are protecting your abuser\". The next day he called the NSPCC. Under cross examination by Alistair MacDonald QC, Complainant A was asked why he had not told anyone about the alleged abuse. He replied that he had been \"ashamed\". \"When you are ashamed, you don't want to shout from the rooftops what happened to you,\" he said. Complainant A told the court he had met and played football with former England captain Alan Shearer in the early 1970s. Mr MacDonald described the man's story as \"pure fantasy\" as Mr Shearer was only born in 1970. The jury earlier heard Mr Higgins, from Southampton, was found not guilty at a trial for similar offences in the 1990s. The trial continues.",

These represent all 380 local government areas in England, Scotland and Wales, plus one each for Northern Ireland and Gibraltar. Individual areas' results will then be declared throughout the night, along with results from 11 national and regional centres. Although the results are declared by local authority area, a referendum is different to a general election in that every individual vote across the UK counts equally towards the final result. According to the Electoral Commission's estimated timings [downloadable file], Sunderland and the London borough of Wandsworth are expected to be among the first counts to be completed, at about 00:30 BST. Local counting areas vary from Birmingham (nearly 700,000 eligible voters) to the Isles of Scilly (about 1,700) so the amount of time spent counting will vary widely. How the referendum votes are counted So when will we know the result? It's hard to be certain how things will pan out, as this is only the third UK-wide referendum and there are notable differences with the previous two. Most commentators think a clear picture could emerge between 4am and 5am. That depends on how close the poll is, but the result is almost certainly set to become clear before the final national result is officially declared by the chief counting officer, who will be based at Manchester Town Hall. The Electoral Commission estimates a final result \"around breakfast time\" on Friday. Here's what to watch out for 22:00-23:00 Once polls have closed, pundits will be freed from their shackles to assess, analyse and predict as they wish. Broadcasters have not commissioned any exit polls for this vote, unlike at a general election. So we won't get a picture of how people have voted until... Midnight and beyond The first results start rolling in. Sunderland City Council has a proud record of swift declarations in general elections - will it repeat the trick tonight? According to an Open Europe analysis, based on the British Election Survey, the city is anticipated to lean towards Leave - so if Remain fares well there, it could be in for a good night overall. Conversely, another anticipated earlier declarer, Wandsworth, is predicted to be solid Remain territory, so the opposite applies. An early result is also expected in Gibraltar, predicted to be firmly in the Remain camp. Keep an eye on the turnout as the first results are declared - a record number of people are eligible to vote, according to provisional Electoral Commission figures. At this point, it's time for another coffee, because most of the results are not expected until... The small hours At a general election, we can look out for the traditional \"bellwether\" seats, the outcome of which is often a good pointer towards the overall winner. It's not so simple this evening. Most pundits agree both sides will have their strongholds - Remain are expected to fare well in parts of London, Edinburgh and university towns like Oxford and Cambridge. Open Europe suggests Eastern England will lean strongly towards voting Leave. We should get an idea of the national picture based on how strongly these predictions hold up. The battlegrounds? According to this analysis by Professors John Curtice and Stephen Fisher, these are the councils where the result could be tight: They add, however, that there are 58 council areas where the two sides are, according to their estimates, within four points of each other. \"There are in truth no key bellwethers, but rather a large swathe of the country that is likely to tell us the story of the night,\" they say. How will Labour voters vote? Much has been said about Labour supporters - the party leadership backed Remain but there were fears in the Stronger In camp that its core voters could be leaning towards Leave. This prompted a big late push to persuade Labour supporters to back Remain. Will it work? Keep an eye on the scores from Labour's northern heartlands to find out. Can't wait until tomorrow? Here are the possibilities for how things will pan out once dawn breaks. Follow the action on the BBC From 22:00 BST, there will be comprehensive coverage on the BBC News website and app with live text and video streaming, reaction and analysis from BBC editors and others.

The public consultation on its plans for putting the A303 into a 1.8-mile (2.9km) dual carriageway tunnel runs until 5 March. Highways England says the move would cut congestion and improve journey times. The scheme has the backing of English Heritage and the National Trust.

Spokeswoman Dr Kate Fielden said: \"We want a genuine consultation with real choice. \"Both of Highways England's options involve huge and damaging new roadworks gouged into our most important ancient landscape.\" A spokesman for Highways England said: \"We fully understand the cultural heritage of the site and one of the broad objectives of the scheme is to help conserve and enhance the World Heritage Site by removing the sight and sound of traffic and make it easier to reach and explore.\"",

The pound has lost nearly a fifth of its value since the UK voted to leave the EU in a referendum in June. It is the world's worst-performing currency on the global money markets this year. This makes imported goods more expensive because they continue to cost the same in dollars or euros, but the price is higher when converted into sterling. Morrisons said it did its best to avoid putting prices up. It added: \"More often than not we have been reducing prices and more than 3,000 products are currently cheaper in our supermarkets than they were last year.\" Tesco's row with Unilever broke out earlier this month and has since been resolved, according to both sides. However, the Grocer reported that both Tesco and Asda have raised prices on a number of Unilever products, and Morrisons has also increased the prices of other items made by the company.

Before the pandemic, the hospital had 7,857 people awaiting surgery.

The ex-leader was appointed unexpectedly by Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko on Saturday. He is credited with radical reforms in Georgia but accused of abuse of power. Mr Saakashvili left Georgia after his term as president ended in 2013. He denies the charges against him, which he says are politically motivated. The former president, who has been granted Ukrainian citizenship, speaks basic Ukrainian and was recently said to have sung the national anthem with a group of Odessa schoolchildren. 'Frontline' region In a BBC interview, Mr Saakashvili said he could not currently go back home. \"The reality is for me today that the Georgian passport means guaranteed imprisonment for me in Georgia,\" he said. He added that the governorship was important because Odessa was a \"frontline\" both against local corruption and against perceived Russian aggression in the region. \"If Odessa ever falls, God forbid, then Georgia might be wiped out from the map,\" he said. Mr Poroshenko chose him because he understood the need for radical reform and knew he would take a hard line on corruption and organised crime, Mr Saakashvili added. The BBC's David Stern in Kiev says the former Georgian leader is a political outsider in Odessa and has a reputation for divisiveness, but is pro-Western and loyal to Mr Poroshenko. His appointment has caused controversy and could be either a stroke of genius or a huge blunder, our correspondent adds. President Poroshenko made the announcement at a televised event in Odessa on Saturday, with Mr Saakashvili standing beside him. Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev made sarcastic comments on the appointment, describing it as a \"Chapiteau-show\" - in a reference to a popular Russian farcical comedy. Mr Saakashvili described his reaction as \"hysterical\". Moscow has been highly critical of Mr Saakashvili since Georgia and Russia fought a brief war in 2008. Unlike Ukraine's eastern Donetsk and Luhansk regions, Odessa has not been hit by the fighting between government forces and pro-Russian rebels. However, tensions in the strategic port remain high after clashes between pro- and anti-government protesters on 2 May 2014 left more than 40 people dead. The majority of those who died were pro-Russian activists who perished in a fire in a trade union building. Investigations into what caused the blaze are continuing. The Ukrainian government, Western leaders and Nato all say there is clear evidence that Russia is helping the rebels in the east with heavy weapons and soldiers. Independent experts echo that accusation. Moscow denies it, insisting that any Russians serving with the rebels are volunteers. More than 6,000 people have been killed in fighting in eastern Ukraine that began in April 2014 when rebels seized large parts of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions. This followed Russia's annexation of the Crimea peninsula.",

Disputed Francis was playing with friends at the Divis Flats complex off the Falls Road in west Belfast in April 1972 when he was struck on the head by the rubber bullet. He died in hospital several days later. Controversy surrounds the shooting, with disputed claims about whether the young boy was struck directly or hit by a ricochet, and if the bullet had been doctored to make it potentially cause more injury.

He added: \"The likelihood of a heart attack or death would be small but not zero. \"There is a significant risk to the health of this man to compel him to give evidence.\" A barrister representing the Rowntree family said a number of steps could be taken to make the witness feel at ease.

The number is higher than previous figures, which indicated that the procedure was used in more than 4,000 operations from 2006 to 2016. A growing number of women are asking for use of the mesh to be suspended. BBC News NI has learned that a number of gynaecologists in Northern Ireland have visited their counterparts in England to observe doctors remove the mesh in especially complicated cases. According to the Health and Social Care Board (HSC), these visits are routine for clinical staff. In the past six months, the mesh debate has stepped up a gear, with campaigns and lobbying happening in London and Belfast. With thousands of men and women affected, there have been calls for a public inquiry and for the suspension of the use of mesh devices. While the majority of women will not suffer complications from the procedure, it is not known exactly how many people in Northern Ireland are currently experiencing problems. Part of the issue is that each health trust collects the data on removal of the mesh differently. However, the NI Sling the Mesh campaign currently has more than 400 members. On Wednesday, a Sinn Féin delegation met representatives from the Department of Health. Sinn Féin MLA Órlaithí Flynn said she was satisfied that the issue was being taken seriously. \"There was a broad range of issues discussed with the permanent secretary, including women having access to full mesh removal in Northern Ireland, as well as having access to 3D scans to assess where the mesh is.\" Last month, Kath Sansom, a campaigner for Sling the Mesh in the UK, visited Belfast to meet women who have had the operation. She said the women \"need to be heard and taken seriously\". \"The latest studies show at least 10% of women suffer - that is a vastly underestimated figure,\" she added. In Scotland, some hospitals have temporarily suspended using the material. In a statement to the BBC, the HSC Board said it and the Public Health Agency have been working to ensure that women who are experiencing problems with vaginal mesh implants have a clear pathway to treatment. \"In July this year, we advised these women to speak to their GP and ask to be referred back to the trust where the surgery was performed. \"The trusts, in turn, have arrangements in place for these women to be seen promptly by a consultant with an interest in urogynaecology. \"The advice to clinical staff in Northern Ireland is that they should discuss all relevant treatment options with each patient, and agree with each patient, the treatment that is most appropriate for the patient's particular clinical needs.\" According to the health board, it is also currently exploring the possibility of establishing a vaginal mesh centre here. \"We plan to maintain close working relationships with a vaginal mesh centre in GB to ensure ongoing quality assurance and development of vaginal mesh services here and offer women the best possible standard of care.\" Meanwhile, Susan McLarnon, from south Belfast, said she and others like her, want action. \"We want fixed by experienced surgeons who have done a lot of these operations. \"Ultimately we want the mesh banned,\" she added.",

            "input": "By Vincent KearneyBBC News NI Home Affairs Correspondent The Stormont Executive failed to sign off on a request for funding. The Lord Chief Justice Sir Declan Morgan wanted funding for a five-year programme to hear the inquests. But, the proposed bid for the money was not even discussed by the executive before the last assembly was dissolved. It is understood that the Lord Chief Justice is bitterly disappointed by the failure of the executive to act on the proposal. Under the executive's rules, the funding proposal needed the agreement of the first and deputy first ministers to make it on to the agenda for discussion. Several sources have told the BBC that first minister Arlene Foster blocked its inclusion. In a statement this afternoon, the DUP said the proposal would have impacted on the ability of the executive to address the needs of innocent victims. It said the issue will be considered again by the new executive formed after this week's assembly elections. Logjam Dozens of outstanding legacy inquests involving more than 80 deaths remain to be heard. They include some of the Troubles' most controversial killings such as those that involve the security forces and collusion allegations. The Lord Chief Justice met relatives of many of the victims three months ago. Afterwards, he announced a plan to break the logjam. He said all the inquests could be heard within five years, providing the necessary funding was available. Sir Declan Morgan also said he had been told the Secretary of State would give careful consideration to a request by the Stormont Executive for the government to release a portion of the £150m package it has set aside to deal with the past. Among those who welcomed the announcement at the time was the daughter of Joseph Corr. The 45-year-old was one of 11 people shot dead by soldiers in what has become known as the Ballymurphy Massacre in 1971. \"The Lord Chief Justice really gave the families in the room that day hope, and there wasn't just the Ballymurphy families, there were loads of victims,\" said Eileen McKeown. Proposal \"We really felt on a high that this man, the Lord Chief Justice, was on our side.\" But, Sir Declan Morgan's plan is now on hold because the Stormont Executive failed to sign off on a proposal to ask the Secretary of State for the necessary funding. The BBC has established that the Department of Justice spoke to the Lord Chief Justice and then, in March, submitted two papers on the issue to the executive. They included a proposal to ask Theresa Villiers to release more than £10m of government funding earmarked to deal with the past. But, the issue did not make it on to the agenda for the executive's last meeting in March. No discussion meant no agreement, and no funding. Last week, the judge in charge of the coroner's courts broke the news in a letter to legal teams for the victims' families who had met the Lord Chief Justice. Mr Justice Colton informed them it is unclear when Sir Declan's plan can be implemented. 'Ten steps back' Ms McKeown said the news was very disappointing for the families of victims. \"People have to put themselves in our situation,\" she said. \"We get one step forward and then ten steps back. \"When we saw the Hillsborough families last week on the news, as before when we saw the Bloody Sunday families, every time we see that happening we think our inquest is going to be next. \"Then the British government steps in, and the executive, and knock it all for six.\" Joseph Corr's son was with him on the day he was killed. He is now seriously ill in hospital and the family fears this delay means he will not see the outcome of the inquest. \"We don't think he has much longer to live,\" said Michael Corr, his son. \"I always promised him that before he died, the Ballymurphy case would be closed. \"Now I feel as if I am letting him down.\"",

Allegations of the affair surfaced in the magazine Closer last week. Valerie Trierweiler, Mr Hollande's partner, has been in hospital since Friday with what aides call \"shock\". At a news conference on Tuesday, Mr Hollande said he was experiencing a \"difficult moment\" in his private life. He refused to answer questions about the allegations, saying \"private matters should be dealt with privately\". Ms Gayet has not commented publicly on the allegations. 'Not signed' The satirical weekly Le Canard Enchaine said Ms Gayet, 41, had been proposed to the 2014 jury last month by the director of the Academy of France in Villa Medici, Eric de Chassey. The academy's website announced her appointment on its website. However, the office of Culture Minister Aurelie Filippetti said on Wednesday: \"Her name was put forward by Eric de Chassey... but the minister has decided not to nominate her. The order has not been signed.\" The unpaid jury's role is to select some 15 people to take up cultural scholarships lasting 12-18 months at the Villa Medici, located in the Villa Borghese in Rome. The academy was founded in the 17th Century and traditionally awarded scholarships to such disciplines as painting, sculpture and architecture, though in recent years it has been broadened to include literature, film, photography and other cultural areas. On Tuesday, Mr Hollande said it was \"neither the time nor the place\" to answer questions about his personal life. He said he would not be drawn on the reports of the affairs with Ms Gayet \"out of respect for those involved\". But he did say he would clarify whether Ms Trierweiler was still first lady before a trip to the US on 11 February. Asked about her health, Mr Hollande said she was resting and that he had no further comment to make. The president has left open the possibility of suing Closer over its report. The French media face strict privacy laws, but the tradition of secrecy over the private lives of public figures has been steadily eroded in recent years. Mr Hollande, who has never married, left his previous partner, fellow Socialist politician Segolene Royal, to be with Ms Trierweiler.",

The parents, who have three other children, live in or near Birmingham and cannot be identified. The judge said the baby, who suffered multiple rib fractures, had not died as a result of any intentional act. On the night the baby died in March 2019, his father had taken cocaine and his mother was \"extremely tired\" and \"under the influence of alcohol\". Mr Justice Keehan concluded the baby died as a result of asphyxia because his mother or father inadvertently rolled on to him while asleep, or because he had been \"confined in a micro-climate\" where the atmosphere was low in oxygen but high in carbon dioxide. He said: \"The mother told me that co-sleeping with her children had worked for her and for the father, they had regularly pursued the practice with all of their children. \"The death of [the baby] was entirely preventable and resulted from the parents' very ill-advised practice of co-sleeping. I accept that the parents are stricken with guilt.\" The couple's three other children, aged between two and 11, had been temporarily placed with relatives pending investigations into the cause of their brother's death. Mr Justice Keehan found the children were not at risk and can return home while social workers provide support to their parents. He said police had investigated but gave no indication that anyone had been charged with any offence in relation to the baby's death.

Mr Orban denounced the decision as \"anti-democratic\" and announced Fidesz's withdrawal from the bloc. He and the EPP have long been at odds over his democratic record in Hungary. The party had been suspended from the centre-right EPP since 2019 over concerns about human rights in Hungary and its attacks against the EPP leadership. On Wednesday, members of the EPP voted 148 to 28 in favour of a decision which would allow them to suspend or dismiss entire national parties. In a letter shared on Twitter, Mr Orban described the changes to the EPP rules as \"a hostile move against Fidesz and our voters\". \"This is antidemocratic, unjust and unacceptable,\" the Hungarian leader continued, adding that the 12 Fidesz members would leave the EPP immediately. The European group, whose members include German Chancellor Angela Merkel's CDU, will remain the largest bloc in the European Parliament. Tensions between Fidesz and the EPP escalated two years ago, when Mr Orban's party turned its anti-EU rhetoric against senior EPP members. Fidesz commissioned posters featuring EPP member and then European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker, alongside a photograph of the Hungarian-born billionaire philanthropist George Soros - who is frequently the target of conspiracy theories and anti-immigration rhetoric. The image was captioned \"you too have a right to know what Brussels is preparing\" and accused Mr Juncker of pushing a pro-immigration plan backed by Mr Soros. But relations between the EPP and the Hungarian party continued to sour. In December last year, the EPP suspended the head of the Fidesz delegation, Tamas Deutsch, after he compared EPP head Manfred Weber to the Nazis' secret police force, the Gestapo. Souring of relations in Europe After 21 years in the bosom of the European People's Party, Viktor Orban jumped before he was pushed. All 12 Fidesz MEPs will now leave before they can be expelled. This was a bitter end to what began as a genuine love affair. The EPP for a long time enjoyed the presence of Fidesz and its young, supremely successful leader in its ranks. For his part, Orban skilfully used EPP membership to project his own and his party's policies far beyond his small east European country. Since his re-election in 2010, 2014 and especially 2018, disquiet has grown among European Christian Democrats about both his domestic policies and his claim to represent genuine Christian Democracy. In the elections to the European Parliament in 2019, Viktor Orban hoped to split the EPP, taking part in a new alliance of European right-wing parties including Matteo Salvini's League, Giorgia Meloni's Brothers of Italy and the Polish Law and Justice Party. In the end the EPP decided Orban was the problem, not the solution. You may also be interested in:",

            "input": "Mine risk specialist Tom Backhouse spoke out after one appeared on a Cimla street - the third in the Neath area. Mr Backhouse said Neath Port Talbot council and the Coal Authority should do more - such as going into sinkholes to investigate where others may appear. A local authority spokesman said many were not sink holes but defects caused by leaking drains and water systems. In January 2016, Cimla Road was cordoned off because of a sinkhole discovery, with it only 1.5ft (0.5m) wide on the surface but collapsing below to 20ft (6m) deep. Geologist Mr Backhouse said where there were colliery spoil and mine shafts there was inevitably going to be \"collapse and ground instability\". While he said it was perceived nothing could be done, he added: \"Sinkholes are seen as being pretty scary and almost unpredictable, but that has to change because they aren't actually unpredictable, particularly when they're caused by mining.\" Mr Backhouse said roads were the most common place for them to happen because there are old drains underneath that can leak and cause the issues. When sinkholes appear, he called on the council and Welsh Water not to be in a rush to fill them in but look into the problem. \"If they aren't filled in quickly and we can investigate it, we can go under the ground and actually see what's there and make sure that if it's a bit further along it won't happen again,\" he added. However, a council spokesman said: \"Neath's industrial legacy is similar to that of south Wales as a whole and the authority has no evidence base to indicate that what is being suggested is either proportionate or appropriate in terms of prioritising its limited resources.\" He added many highway issues branded as sinkholes were \"voids and deformation caused by leaking drainage and water systems\". \"Such systems and voids are repaired accordingly with the aim of restoring normal access at the earliest opportunity in order to minimise disruption to road users,\" he said. A spokesman for Welsh Water said there was no evidence to suggest its network contributed to any of the recent cases in Neath. \"We use cutting edge technologies to constantly monitor our network for leakage,\" he added. \"In the event of a burst water main, we will always look to put things right as soon as possible to ensure our work has as little impact on our customers as possible.\" A few years ago, Roy Jenkins from Cimla was told there was a mineshaft 300m (984ft) deep under his garden that had been there for more than 100 years. In 2015, the Coal Authority dug it up and filled it in with tonnes of concrete. Mr Jenkins said he was concerned the discovery would affect the value of his house. Local AM Jeremy Miles has requested a meeting with the Coal Authority so he can understand the situation in the area more fully. \"What I will say is that when I have been to see the sinkhole, the authorities have reacted very quickly,\" he said. \"The council has been out, Welsh Water have been there and the Coal Authority, so there's been a fast reaction to the situation when it has arisen.\" The Coal Authority has been managing Britain's former mining legacy for 20 years. A spokesman said terminology is often confused - suggesting a sinkhole is naturally occurring, caused by changes to rock formations underground. When there is movement associated with underground mines, these are generally less than 30m (98ft) in depth and are called crown holes, occurring when the roof of old workings collapse. The Coal Authority's Darren Bryant said: \"Our work in and around Neath is extensive and includes undertaking proactive mine entry inspections, tip management, responding to reported hazards, treating mine water and providing responses to planning applications as a statutory consultee.\"",

Imposing metal silos stand tall on the horizon. At a time when people in the country are going hungry, Portuguesa is a strategic part of the economy. But the breadbasket is looking a bit emptier these days. Ronald Lakra and his family grow corn in the summer and in the winter, they switch to beans. He has seen different governments come and go and with that, production rise and fall. When Hugo Chavez came to power in 1999, Ronald says production improved. The early days of his rule coincided with high oil prices. There was money to support industry. But when he died in 2012, everything changed. \"There've been lots of shortages - not just in fertiliser but getting seeds too,\" he says. \"Farmers struggle to find financing.\" Nationalisation drive In 2010, the government nationalised the farm supply business. Agropatria is now responsible for supplying farmers with everything from seeds to pesticides. Timing is crucial and producers say the government is not delivering. This year, Ronald did not get fertiliser in time for his corn crop, so it suffered. The corn he does grow he has to sell at regulated prices because it is a government staple. He can only just keep the farm afloat. \"We have to go it alone to try and make things better but the situation is so bad,\" he says. \"The country's financial situation and what we have now is tough.\" Broken machinery The problem is compounded by hyperinflation. Venezuela's currency gets weaker every day so the cost of his materials, which are mostly imported, keeps rising. In just two weeks, the price of a tractor tyre has doubled. Ronald shows me around his John Deere harvester. He needs a replacement part but there is no longer a local supplies store in town so he has to get it shipped from the US. That means saving up for the part and depositing the money in dollars. The shipment can take months to arrive. Insecurity in the fields Ronald's problems do not end there. In the farmyard is a half-built house meant for his mother. He could not get hold of cement at a decent price so he stopped work. The only residents are his flock of sheep. The number has dwindled in recent months as he had to sell some. Some hungry Venezuelans in search of some protein stole a couple too. Insecurity in this part of the world is rising. Basics become luxuries In Venezuela's agricultural heartland, basics have become luxuries. Luis Mendez sells arepas in his family café in the town of Apartadores. He has noticed business slow right down. \"Three years ago, we sold 500 arepas every day,\" he says. \"A year ago that fell to 150. From the beginning of this year we're talking 15-20 arepas.\" One of the tenets of the revolution under Hugo Chavez was to redistribute land from the rich to the poor. He wanted to boost production and end the country's dependence on food imports. But there is little hope of that yet. \"Venezuela used to produce 70% of its food - now we import 70% of the food,\" says Ramon Bolotin, a director at Venezuela's Confederation of Associations of Agricultural Producers. \"The state is the only farm supplier - we know the state's never a good administrator and this is no different.\" Stolen corn On the border with Portuguesa and Cojedes state, cattle farmer Manuel Vicente Parra shows me around his 300-hectare farm. He has had to fight hard to keep his farm, making sure he has all the documents needed to show he owns the land and is productive. Some of his friends have not been so lucky. But while he still has the land, Manuel has cut the number of cattle he owns because of the crisis. \"Meat's expensive for the average person but it's also expensive to produce,\" he says.

            "input": "By James NaughtieSpecial Correspondent Radio 4 News This is the conundrum that has troubled all the parties in the campaign for the new parliament at Holyrood. It was natural in the BBC-hosted leaders' debate on Sunday that referendum talk should produce fireworks - for both the Conservatives and the SNP: that's the argument their core vote likes to hear. But it's not been the talk in the streets and on the doorsteps. The truth is Scotland has remained a divided country since the 2014 referendum saw the independence option rejected, by a margin of 55% to 45% on an 85% turnout. And this election has felt like a prelude to the next phase of the constitutional debate, although separate from it. A Scottish minister said to me the other night: \"It's the oddest election I've ever known.\" Start with the changes to the parliament. It's much more powerful - crucially, having the power to raise much more of the money the Scottish government spends. Therefore, the headline arguments in the campaign have been about taxes and spending, the staple diet of any election. The SNP has proposed modest tax changes, Labour a straightforward rise in income tax rates that would raise more. The SNP says it's going to challenge \"austerity\" from London with responsible fiscal policy, Labour that the government in power in Edinburgh since 1997 isn't doing enough and needs more revenue. But as I discovered in the Almond Valley constituency, west of Edinburgh, that debate doesn't seemed to have shifted opinion. All the polls suggest the SNP's dominant position - established in the 2015 general election, when they won 56 of the 59 Scottish Westminster seats - will be reflected in the Holyrood results. The opposition parties are appealing for votes to make them a better opposition: hardly an enticing campaign pledge. How bad could it get for Scottish Labour? The 30-second manifesto pitches Who is standing in your area? Education Secretary Angela Constance, the SNP candidate in Almond Valley, says the government, if re-elected, will invest an extra £750m in schools. Liberal Democrat candidate Charles Dundas argues for higher taxes for a ring-fenced fund for schools. But hanging over all these debates - and, to be frank, they don't seem to have moved the Scottish electorate in these past weeks - is the memory of the referendum and the question of whether there will be another one. Nicola Sturgeon uses the word \"patience\" when she tells her supporters she does expect an independent country in her time as first minister; her opponents accuse her of being willing to press the button sooner than she will admit. Tartan elephant in the room So it is a strange campaign, characterised by important financial and economic arguments that sometimes feel as if they're avoiding the point. But is there a tartan elephant in the room, or not? Ms Sturgeon is, by instinct, a cautious politician. Her party, though it is sustained by a vibrant core of members who want independence as soon as they can get it, has some quite conservative strands, and she knows it. A \"leave\" vote in the EU referendum might force her hand, because it would be hard to resist party pressure to ask the parliament to support a second referendum, but the smart money suggests she would rather avoid that. And the most curious aspect of this election is that it's not really about the SNP at all. Labour is still stuck in a wretched rut - humiliated in the general election, on its third leader in as many years, and privately fearful about tomorrow's results. The Conservatives, on the other hand, still on just under 20% in the polls, have seriously been tempted by the thought the unbelievable might happen: that they could surpass Labour and become the official opposition. Most party people, pollsters and observers who know the scene well, think that, although this is not the fantasy it would have seemed a year ago, it is hugely unlikely. But it's spoken about in Labour circles. Say no more. On Friday, we will know where we are. If the SNP forms another majority government - which seems very likely - Labour will have another bout of soul-searching. And if the Conservatives increase their haul of seats, they will start to talk of a confident ideological opposition to the Nationalists. Only then will the real battle begin - about the consequences of a governing party so dominant it commands the parliament with impunity, about where the real opposition comes from, and about the circumstances in which a second referendum might appeal to the electorate. It has been a campaign about the unknown. That's one the reasons why everyone wants it to be over.",

            "input": "Beer gardens reopened on Monday - along with hairdressers and barbers, for the first time since social-distancing measures were brought in at the end of March. As the levels of virus spreading through the community have reduced, the Welsh Government has moved to lift more restrictions, including introducing \"extended households\". What is an extended household? An extended household is the how the Welsh Government has introduced what is known in England, Scotland and Northern Ireland as \"support bubbles\" - an idea first introduced in New Zealand. It is designed to help families reunite and help support those with care needs. A household means a group of the same people all sharing the same home. It could be a family living together, flatmates in the same property, or even individuals renting rooms in the same house. There is no restriction on the number of people in a household - as long as they are always the same people. An extended household is when two of those households come together as one. For example, two grandparents could agree to become part of an extended household with their daughter and her partner and children. The two households could then visit each other as much as they wish, go indoors, and even stay overnight. Where's the catch? There are restrictions - and it could mean some tough choices for individuals. The main rule is this: Once you join an extended household - you cannot join another. If it is our grandparents enjoying Sunday lunch with their daughter and grandchildren at the family home, those same grandparents cannot then decide they want to join with another family member next week. They cannot decide they are ditching the daughter for their favourite son. Once you are in a extended household, there is no swapping members - you have to stick with your original choice. And a word of warning: If one person in your extended household develops Covid-19 symptoms, every member of that extended household will be asked to self-isolate. What if we share custody of a child? There are always exceptions to the rule - and this is one of them. If your child divides their time between two homes they can be a member of extended families in both homes. But I live in a shared house? In this case, where several people are renting separate rooms in a single property they do not have to form a single household themselves - and they can join other extended households. Of course, where you may be sharing bathrooms and kitchens in a multiple-occupancy house, the Welsh Government points out it will increase the risk of spreading coronavirus - so they suggest have a good think and conversations with your housemates first. Is there a limit to the number of people in extended households? No, there is no limit. But again, you cannot swap people in or out. Once they are in, they are in. I am in an extended household. Who else can I meet - and where? No more than two households can get together - and then they have to meet outside. It is exactly the same for extended households. Two extended households can meet - but they have to meet outside, and the two groups should also observe social-distancing rules. Two families - our grandparents and their son or daughter, for example, who are in a single extended household - can meet another extended family household - perhaps their other son or daughter and their in-laws who have decided to bubble together. But it must be outdoors. Is there a limit on the number of people in extended households getting together? As long as it is only two extended households coming together, there is no limit on numbers of people - as there is no limit on the size of a single extended household. Again, it has to be outside, and separate households should remain socially distanced. So yes, if you want to have a barbecue with your extended household and your neighbour's extended household you can - if you want. Can I meet more than one extended household at a time? No, you cannot. Only two households can come together at once. Your neighbour's friends cannot tag along to that barbecue in the back garden - sorry. Could I meet my friends in the pub then instead? You cannot meet in the pub just yet - indoor cafes, bars and restaurants in Wales remain closed until 3 August. But the same cannot be said for pub beer gardens. Outdoor parts of pubs and restaurants could open in Wales from 13 July. The latest regulations allow gatherings of \"no more than 30 persons\" - as long as it has been organised by: Of course, all those groups also have to meet strict health and safety rules before they can open their doors to you and your mates. Don't expect it to be a \"normal\" pint out. What else can I do? If it is not a beer or a meal you are after there are now plenty more things you can do in your extended household. Self-contained holiday accommodation is open for business and bookings across Wales, with all travel restrictions lifted. While they may be thinking about some sun worshipping - with Welsh weather, they may need a prayer or two. And you'd be in luck there too - as faith leaders are also preparing to welcome back congregations from this week. Fun in the sun Outdoor exercise classes, team games such as cricket and sports clubs can meet again. From Monday 20 July, there will be some playground relief for your youngsters during the summer holidays as they are allowed to reopen. Also opening on Monday are community centres, outdoor gyms, and funfairs. The great outdoors beckon on 25 July when campsites will be allowed to reopen. Stay indoors? On 27 July, cinemas, museums and galleries in Wales will be allowed to open their doors once more. You will also be able to get a beauty salon pamper - and if you've the urge for ink, tattoo parlours are opening again. And finally... A reminder from the First Minister Mark Drakeford himself: \"We could find our hard work quickly undone unless we all go on playing our part, every day, and in every way we can, to keep Wales safe. \"It is not over. Coronavirus is still here in Wales - and in the absence of a vaccine, it could be with us for some time yet.\"",

The board also raised concerns about the \"humane treatment\" of transgender inmates living as women in the men's prison. The Ministry of Justice said it recognised there was more to do. A newly-published report looked at the Category B prison from March 2018 to 28 February this year. Inspection visits began shortly after the Chief Inspector of Prisons, Peter Clarke, told the government to make immediate improvements because the prison was in a \"dangerous state\". He described the suicide rate among inmates as \"tragic and appalling\", with eight prisoners taking their own lives there between February 2016 and January 2018. Of the five deaths during the 12 months covered in the report, the government lists one as a homicide - with a fellow prisoner due to go on trial charged with murder - while three have been noted as \"self-inflicted\" and one as \"natural causes\". The last was in December 2018. Although inspectors said the prison felt \"calmer\" by February, the number of reported prisoner-on-prisoner and prisoner-on-staff assaults had gone up, despite the number of inmates going down. The board said this could be because of better reporting, but added: \"It is surprising that [tackling violence] has not been given a higher priority.\" Inspectors also highlighted the plight of the jail's small number of transgender inmates. \"Trying to live as females in a male establishment creates many difficulties for them and raises issues about humane treatment,\" the report said. \"We have been engaged with a number of such prisoners and have tried to represent their interests to the prison. \"We note that a small special unit has now been opened at HMP Downview and it is to be hoped that more transgender prisoners will be able to benefit from such differentiated accommodation in future.\" Death and violence at HMP Nottingham Inspectors also found problems with getting inmates with the greatest mental health issues out of prison for treatment. A quarter also had no home to go to on their release, a problem the board said was made worse by a lack of space at homeless hostels. However, the IMB said it had started to see a number of improvements. It said more staff had been brought in and inspectors said those staff were becoming more trained and experienced. Drugs had become more difficult to smuggle in or get hold of, it added. Measures, such as more open common areas, seemed to have started to reduce violence levels since the completion of the report, the board said. All of this was \"improving prisoners' daily lives\", according to the IMB's chairwoman Janet White. A spokesman for the MoJ said it was pleased the efforts to tackle violence and drug use were starting to show results, and it was working to improve mental health access. He said: \"There is more to do and we are determined to see these improvements continue.\" Follow BBC East Midlands on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram.

However, he said that several key items were lacking, meaning that the list was still \"not acceptable to me yet\". \"I think we'll probably get them too,\" he added, speaking to reporters after a bill signing at the White House.

Investors have been rattled by the stand-off between the two economic giants. Mr Trump says the new import tariffs are meant to punish China for \"unfair\" practices, such as theft of intellectual property, state subsidies of Chinese companies, and barriers to foreign firms. But the duties have raised costs for US companies and been blamed for some of the recent slowdown in China's economic growth. The two sides are expected to meet at the G20 summit in Argentina at the end of the month. Earlier talks between the two countries failed to resolve the issues. Many analysts remain sceptical about the prospects of a deal that would address the deeper issues raised by the US.

Marvel's Doctor Strange is looking at his work in a new light thanks to his production company, SunnyMarch, which is behind The Child In Time. The 41-year-old not only plays the lead role in the first ever TV adaptation of an Ian McEwan novel, but is the BBC One drama's executive producer as well. Cumberbatch stars as Stephen Lewis, a children's author whose world falls apart when his four-year-old daughter goes missing in a supermarket. He says getting to adapt the Whitbread Prize-winning book - which tells of how Stephen's life and that of his wife Julie diverge after the loss - was a \"huge boon\". Yet the actor admits it's \"different when you've got a producer's hat on. If you're front and centre, that's really hard. \"I'm excited about the moment when I'm not in something and I can look at it with more more distance, but it's very peculiar. \"It's always horrible - the way you look, the way you do things. It's just horrible. \"Trust me, the internet's full of hate but it's nothing compared to the self-critic in your head for brutality. I've said it all before they have.\" Cumberbatch says he had a \"great experience\" making the drama, a joint production with Pinewood Television. \"I didn't choose it. It chose us, really,\" he goes on. \"It just worked - the timing was right, it was a brilliant script first of all and it's an extraordinary novel.\" The actor, who has two young sons with his wife Sophie, says the situation of losing a child while looking away in a familiar environment is \"horrifically relatable\". \"It's a part that is a million miles away from all the stuff I've done - especially the more famous one on telly - and that's an appeal for me. \"I'll always be shaking things up a little bit as far as expectations are concerned - not doing the usual or the unusually usual - and the extreme nature of the situation [in The Child In Time] is very unusual. \"I don't think you have to be a parent to understand,\" he continues. \"There are fantastic actors out there I've seen give extraordinary performances of parents in crisis, or just parents in fictional roles. \"It wasn't like 'oh great, I can get my teeth into something whereby I'll be emotionally raw because I'm a new dad for the second time.' It just happened that way.\" Speaking of that more famous telly role, would he like to do more Sherlock? All he'll say, with an enigmatic smile, is \"maybe\". At the time we speak, it's just been announced that Jodie Whittaker is taking on the lead role in Doctor Who - the first woman to do so. Cumberbatch is thrilled about this and says he can't wait to see her performance. \"It's an alien - why can't it be a woman?\" he says. \"Why can't it be any gender? I think she's an extraordinary actress and we're lucky culturally to have got her to agree to do it. Just go for it - let's see what happens.\" Would he be just as up for seeing a female Sherlock? \"Why not? I don't care,\" he says, adding tongue-in-cheek: \"Sherlockina - it's coming to you soon.\" SunnyMarch, he points out, has a lot of plans for improving diversity and \"giving a bolder place for women both behind and in front of the camera.\" Watch this space.

Under the new rules military desertion is no longer a reason for granting asylum, and people cannot now apply through Swiss foreign embassies. About 48,000 people are in the process of seeking asylum in Switzerland. The BBC's Imogen Foulkes, in Geneva, says Switzerland has a long tradition of generosity towards asylum seekers - its proportion of refugees per head of population is twice the European average. But the number of asylum seekers is rising sharply and is at its highest in a decade. That, coupled with sharp rises in immigration overall, has led to public concern that too many people are coming to Switzerland, our correspondent says. 'Economic reasons' Human rights groups and left wing parties gathered enough signatures to force Sunday's referendum, in a bid to get the government measures withdrawn, warning that they could lead to discrimination. Speaking after the result, the groups described the outcome as \"a disaster for asylum seekers and refugees\" that left \"no winners\". One of the most controversial changes was the removal of military desertion as a valid reason for asylum. Desertion is the key reason cited by Eritreans -the largest group of applicants last year - whose country imposes unlimited military service on all able-bodied men and women. The result also removes the provision - unique in Europe - that enabled asylum seekers to claim asylum in Swiss embassies around the world. Celine Amandruz of Switzerland's largest party, the populist Swiss People's Party (SVP), however welcomed result, telling AFP news agency that that nine out of 10 people who sought refuge in the wealthy country did so \"for economic reasons\". \"There is clearly a need to change this system,\" she said.

The main factor \"dictating this increase\" is a £14m rise, or doubling, of its rates bill, following a revaluation carried out of all local businesses last year. In the previous two financial years, Northern Ireland Water cut its tariffs. Businesses and farms pay bills, with the majority, around 70,000, being metered for their water use and sewerage services. \"We are conscious that economic conditions continue to be difficult for our customers and we have worked hard to minimise any increase,\" said Ronan Larkin, its finance director. \"It is worth noting business customers will still be paying 5.6% less, on average, for their water and sewerage services than they were in 2012.\" He said that while the average increase would be 2.4%, some businesses that do not have water meters would face a higher rise. \"If we look at the typical unmetered bill that should increase annually by approximately £16,\" he said. \"That's probably an increase of about 4.5%.\" The company gave examples of what the financial impact of the increase might be. It said a medium factory which paid £3,282 last year would see the bill rise by 1.4%, or £45. But customers without a meter, whose bills are partly based on the rateable value of the business, would face steeper increases. It quoted a 6.4% increase for a small shop or office without a meter, taking the bill it quoted from £250 a year to £266. Northern Ireland Water also said it was committed to making £22m of savings over the next six years. But with the company already having cut its workforce by a third from 2007, it said this will not involve further redundancies.

It was believed to have been home to tens of thousands of people before it disappeared underwater. Now its history has been pieced together by artefacts recovered from the seabed and displayed in London. The 15-year-project has involved St Andrews, Dundee and Aberdeen universities. The results are on display at the Royal Society Summer Science Exhibition in London until 8 July. The story behind Doggerland, a land that was slowly submerged by water between 18,000 BC and 5,500 BC, has been organised by Dr Richard Bates at St Andrews University. Dr Bates, a geophysicist, said \"Doggerland was the real heartland of Europe until sea levels rose to give us the UK coastline of today. \"We have speculated for years on the lost land's existence from bones dredged by fishermen all over the North Sea, but it's only since working with oil companies in the last few years that we have been able to re-create what this lost land looked like. \"When the data was first being processed, I thought it unlikely to give us any useful information, however as more area was covered it revealed a vast and complex landscape. \"We have now been able to model its flora and fauna, build up a picture of the ancient people that lived there and begin to understand some of the dramatic events that subsequently changed the land, including the sea rising and a devastating tsunami.\" Ancient tree stumps, flint used by humans and the fossilised remains of a mammoth helped form a picture of how the landscape may have looked. Researchers also used geophysical modelling of data from oil and gas companies. Findings suggest a picture of a land with hills and valleys, large swamps and lakes with major rivers dissecting a convoluted coastline. As the sea rose the hills would have become an isolated archipelago of low islands. By examining the fossil record (such as pollen grains, microfauna and macrofauna) the researchers could tell what kind of vegetation grew in Doggerland and what animals roamed there. Using this information, they were able to build up a model of the \"carrying capacity\" of the land and work out roughly how many humans could have lived there. The research team is currently investigating more evidence of human behaviour, including possible human burial sites, intriguing standing stones and a mass mammoth grave.",

In an extract from his memoir, the ex-Labour leader says \"we were not just misinformed, but misled\". Mr Brown says he became aware of the \"crucial\" paper after leaving office. The Iraq War - which divided British public opinion - began in March 2003, with the conflict and its aftermath claiming the lives of 179 UK troops. The UK joined the US-led invasion after both countries jointly accused Saddam Hussein of possessing weapons of mass destruction and having links to terrorism. British intelligence from 2002, seen at the time by the then-Prime Minister Tony Blair and Mr Brown, suggested the country was capable of having such weapons. \"I was told they knew where the weapons were,\" Mr Brown writes. \"I remember thinking at the time that it was almost as if they could give me the street name and number where they were located.\" But, Mr Brown says a report commissioned at the time by the then-US Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld \"forcibly challenged\" this view. 'War unjustified' He said it suggested other intelligence had relied \"heavily on analytic assumptions\" rather than hard evidence, and disproved Iraq's capability to make weapons of mass destruction. \"If I am right that somewhere within the American system the truth about Iraq's lack of weapons was known, then we were not just misinformed but misled on the critical issue,\" he writes in My Life, Our Times. A seven-year inquiry into the UK's involvement in the Iraq War found Saddam Hussein posed \"no imminent threat\" when the US and UK invaded. The Chilcot report also concluded that \"flawed\" intelligence started the war. According to Mr Brown, the UK may never have agreed to take part if the information had been shared. \"Given that Iraq had no usable chemical, biological or nuclear weapons that it could deploy and was not about to attack the coalition, then two tests of a just war were not met: war could not be justified.\" Despite this, he did say some action was required due to the failure of Saddam Hussein complying with UN resolutions.",

            "input": "By Toby LuckhurstBBC News Heavy rain has flooded the cave system, hindering the authorities' attempts to go in and find them. The hope is that the group have found a safe, high place to await rescue, but unlike professional cavers, they were not equipped for a long stay. We spoke to cavers about what you need to do to survive when trapped underground. They emphasised the need to keep warm and hydrated, and stay out of danger. What to do if you're trapped Anmar Mirza, national co-ordinator of the US National Cave Rescue Commission, says the first thing to do is make sure you're not in any immediate danger. Rockfalls pose a risk, but the major worry is flooding. \"You want to seek the highest point in the cave,\" Mr Mirza said. His advice is to try to guess where water had risen to in previous floods. \"There's a number of ways to determine that point - look for mud, leaves, wet slime on the walls.\" Then, you want to check what supplies you have with you. Depending on how long you are in the cave, you may be forced to ration food, water, and even light. Keep warm The first major risk, Mr Mirza says, is hypothermia. \"Wring out clothes to keep them dry,\" he says, \"and huddle together for warmth.\" Andy Eavis, retired head of the British Caving Association, says thankfully hypothermia probably won't be a big issue in the Thai cave system. \"The ambient temperatures will be fairly high,\" he says, estimating them to be between 23-26C (73-79F). Mr Eavis, 70, has been exploring caves for the past 50 years, including some in Thailand, Myanmar and China - although not the cave system in which the teenagers and their coach are trapped. He says many of these caves are huge - some big enough to be explored \"with aeroplanes\" - and doesn't think they're likely to flood to the roof. \"If they're sitting out of the water, they won't die of hypothermia,\" he says. Mr Eavis describes being trapped in a cave in the Pyrenees with two other cavers, where the water was about 2C (36F). \"We were there for 55 hours,\" he said. \"But thankfully, we were wearing wetsuits.\" Water After warmth, Mr Mirza says, the next major concern is water. \"Keep yourself hydrated, but beware of dirty water in the cave,\" Mr Mirza says. \"It's a balancing act - diarrhoea and vomiting would make dehydration a bigger problem later.\" Even if the water is dirty, it won't pose an immediate problem, says Mr Eavis. \"Most cave waters are reasonably drinkable,\" he says. \"It might cause upset tummies though.\" Bill Whitehouse, retired chairman of the British Cave Rescue Council, recommends looking around the cave. \"Little drips and inlets may have fresher water,\" he says. \"But long term, food will be the problem.\" Mr Mirza agrees. \"If you have food, make sure not to eat it all at once.\" Air Oxygen is also a factor. However, all three men agree that this isn't as big a concern as you'd think. \"Most caves naturally breathe,\" Mr Mirza says. \"Air can get in and out where people can't.\" Carbon dioxide levels can rise if people are trapped in such a small space for so long. But for the most part, the rescuers agree lack of air isn't a major problem. \"In general, it's not uncommon for oxygen levels to be slightly low in caves,\" says Mr Whitehouse. \"But not seriously low. It depends on the cave.\" Mental strain You may have all the supplies to survive, but keeping calm in the dark can be difficult. \"I always tell people it's a marmite sport,\" says Mr Whitehouse. \"Underground is one of those places you're either happy or you're not.\" \"Don't panic,\" says Mr Eavis. \"Panicking and trying to get out come what may is the biggest risk.\" For the Thai teenagers, a lot of pressure will be on whoever is in charge to stop them from trying to dive into the waters, which could be dangerous. \"The leader will have to really control them to stop them doing anything silly, like dive in,\" he said. \"It's mentally very taxing being in the dark.\" Mr Mirza says lighting is not as problematic as it once was. \"Experienced cavers will have hundreds of hours of light with them - modern LEDs, lithium batteries.\" But in the case of the teenagers in Thailand, it could be an issue. \"We're not talking about cavers here. They're probably not well equipped,\" says Mr Whitehouse. General advice? As a rule, if you're going to enter a cave, you should always be prepared, Mr Whitehouse says. \"Get the right information, get the right kit, and go with someone who knows the cave,\" he says. The veteran cave rescuer also says a vital point is to tell someone where you are going before you go. \"The earlier we get the callout the sooner something can be done,\" he says.",

            "input": "By Hannah RichardsonBBC News education reporter The latest figures show a 7% drop in acceptances on to teacher training courses for this year. Head teachers' leaders said the drop in recruits would deepen the teacher recruitment crisis. The Department for Education said there were more teachers than ever before in England's schools. It said it was investing £1.3bn in recruitment over this Parliament, and had devised schemes to ensure new teachers stayed in their jobs in those areas that have a poor record of retaining teachers. Because of the high turnover in the profession, schools in England need to recruit about 30,000 new teachers every year to stand still. 'Deeply worrying' The predominant source of these recruits is from the crop of the teacher trainees. But these new figures show only 26,000 were accepted on to teacher training courses for 2016-2017. And government targets for teacher recruitment in England have been missed for five consecutive years. Whereas in Wales, there was an increase of 2% in applicants placed on to courses over the same period. Malcolm Trobe, acting general secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders, said: \"There are severe teacher shortages in schools across the country, particularly in maths and science. \"Schools have to rely upon supply staff and non-specialists to teach many classes.\" He urged the government to address the issue urgently and make teaching a more attractive career option. Dr Mary Bousted, general secretary of the Association of Teachers and Lecturers said the figures were deeply worrying, but hardly surprising. She pointed to what she said was the government's continued failure to address the issues that make teaching less attractive as a profession. 'Demoralisation' \"Excessive teacher workloads continue to drive down retention rates, salaries are falling behind those of other graduate professions and funding cuts are reducing what schools can provide for children,\" she said. \"The government must tackle the workload and salary levels for classroom teachers as a key priority, investing in school funding and national pay.\" Professor John Howson, a teacher recruitment expert who runs a free teacher vacancy service for schools, said: \"The Ministry of Defence had managed to persuade the Treasury that officers training at Sandhurst could have a salary - it's about time trainee teachers had a salary too.\" Liberal Democrat education spokesman John Pugh said the recruitment crisis was of the government's making. \"Half baked schemes to desperately lure people into teaching do not and cannot compensate for the demoralisation of existing staff. \"An unprecedented number of teachers are exiting the profession unable to withstand bureaucratic overload and constant insults to their professionalism from meddling ministers.\"",

            "input": "By Sean CoughlanBBC News education correspondent The Local Government Association says that councils have had to fill a £1bn shortfall in funding for school places. The Netmums parenting website says some families are worried about primary schools which have expanded rapidly. The Department for Education says it has given councils £5bn since the last election to fund new school places. Primary schools have had to accommodate several years of rising numbers of pupils, with many schools having to add temporary classrooms and build extensions. Figures published earlier this year showed there are 77 primary schools which now have more than 800 pupils. Funding gap The Local Government Association says that councils are feeling the financial pressure, having to divert funds from other parts of their school budgets. Across England, councils say they are having to spend £1bn on providing extra places, using money that had been intended for building projects or maintenance. Ealing Council in west London has had to top up government funding with £129m, Hillingdon has added £114m, says the LGA. Councils provided an extra 90,000 places last year, says the LGA, but it says another 130,000 will be needed in the next three years, as the birth rate continues to climb. The pressure on space has meant that one school had to build its playground on a roof, says the LGA. The LGA's survey, based on responses from over half of councils, found that three out of four local authorities claim not to have received sufficient funding from central government for extra places - and that 38% of councils have had to borrow. The LGA says its research \"lays bare the scale of the problem in funding for school places\". Councils have called for more control over the creation of extra places, complaining that the push for more autonomous academies and free schools has weakened strategic planning. They also want a clearer funding mechanism for creating places. \"Councils are delivering, but at a cost. Since the pressure on places first emerged, councils have been getting on with the job of creating more, and welcome though government funding is, it is nothing like the full cost,\" said David Simmonds, chairman of the LGA's Children and Young People Board. \"The scale of this black hole is such that the cost of the creation of new school places cannot be met by council tax payers.\" Mr Simmonds also warned that the pressure on places was moving up to secondary level and that another 200,000 places will be needed. Parents' concerns The warning from councils comes as the Netmums website says that some parents are concerned about the adverse impact of the squeeze on places. Responses to the website from more than 1,700 people raised worries about class sizes increasing and a negative impact from too much overcrowding in primary schools. But there were also parents who did not think that the size of a school was an important factor in the quality of education. \"Every parent wants their child to have the best education possible so it's totally understandable why the rise in 'supersize primaries' has got mums and dads so concerned,\" said Netmums founder Siobhan Freegard. \"Although some kids will flourish in a busier environment, many parents feel that increased class sizes and number of classes leads to their child being forgotten.\" Ms Freegard says that parents needed to be more closely involved in such school expansion plans. Labour's shadow education secretary Tristram Hunt said: \"David Cameron made a commitment to parents, of smaller schools and smaller class sizes. \"But the number of five to seven-year-olds in large classes of over 30 children has spiralled by 200% since 2010 - to nearly 100,000 infants.\" He accused the government of \"diverting resources away from areas in desperate need of more primary school places in favour of pursuing his pet project of expensive free schools in areas where there is no shortage of places\". Education Minister Nick Gibb said that the current government was trying to \"remedy the problems that were caused by failing to prepare for this baby boom by the previous government\". He told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: \"We are providing significant sums of capital at a time when across Whitehall we have had to make very significant savings in order to tackle the budget deficit.\" A spokeswoman for the Department for Education said: \"As part of our education plan, we are giving councils £5bn to spend on new school places over this parliament. \"This has already led to the creation of 260,000 new school places, all of which are in shortage areas, with many more planned. We have also confirmed a further £2.35bn to support councils to create the places needed by September 2017.\"",

The Bank of England paper note is being pulled from circulation because there is a newer version, made of polymer. Northern Ireland's banks could, eventually, follow suit, but for now their paper £5 notes remain in use. Sean Murphy of Ulster Bank said: \"In the long run, polymer notes will probably be more cost-effective and it is something we are actively looking at.\" There is about £2.5bn worth of Northern Ireland banknotes in circulation. One of the most recent new designs was the George Best £5 note, a million of which were issued in 2006 by Ulster Bank in tribute to the late footballer. Danske Bank is currently doing a print run of £20 notes, with the signature of its chief executive, Kevin Kingston, being added for the first time. 'Prestige and branding' There are rules covering the issuing of Northern Ireland banknotes. Each of the banks must hold assets with the Bank of England equal to the value of the cash being printed, so that if they were to ever go bust their notes in circulation could be exchanged. The banks have said the main reason they print their own notes is for prestige and branding.

But Mr Mullins said he was prepared to pay for private immunisations for people at the firm, should they become available, which would be done on the company's time. Doctors have warned that key hospital services in England are in crisis, with reports of hospitals cancelling urgent operations after a surge in Covid patients in recent weeks. Pimlico Plumbers plans to change its contracts for new joiners to require immunisation. It will rewrite its contracts with existing workers and employees as soon as is practical, depending on vaccine availability. The firm has about 350 plumbers working as contractors and about 120 employees. Mr Mullins said the firm was \"not putting anyone under any pressure\" to have the jab. However, new starters who were not immunised would not be taken on, he said. Mr Mullins said employees approved of the policy. \"It's a no-brainer,\" he said. \"I've talked to people who have said: 'I will queue up all night to get the vaccine.' \"I think it will be the norm in five or six months. To go into a bar or cinema, or go on a plane, you have to have a vaccine,\" he added. Mr Mullins said he had set aside £800,000 to pay for private vaccinations, but estimated costs more in the region of £100,000. \"Whatever it costs, I will pay,\" he said. \"I would pay £1m tomorrow to safeguard our staff. \"If people don't want the vaccine, let them sit at home and not have a normal life,\" he added. Legal risks However, employment lawyers said this vaccination policy could be risky. Legally, companies cannot force employees to take a vaccine, said Thrive Law managing director Jodie Hill. \"They can't jab a vaccine in your arm,\" she said. People who refuse vaccination and are dismissed may have grounds to make a legal claim, she said. \"Even if they put that [requirement] in a new contract, I don't think they'd get away with it,\" she said. Employees with more than two years' service could claim unfair dismissal. But this option is not open to workers and self-employed contractors. Broadly, people can refuse a vaccination for legitimate reasons such as being pregnant or breastfeeding, for religious reasons, because of disability or allergy, or for ethical vegan reasons if the jab contains animal products. The two vaccines approved for use in the UK, from Oxford-AstraZeneca and Pfizer/BioNTech, do not contain any components of animal origin, a Department for Health and Social Care spokesman confirmed. Dismissal for employees with one or more of these protected characteristics could give rise to a discrimination claim. People who are hesitant about taking the vaccine for personal reasons would not be able to claim discrimination, but could potentially claim unfair dismissal if they have been with the firm for two years or more. People with strong anti-vaccination beliefs may be protected under equality law, Ms Hill added. Legal battle The company and Mr Mullins have previously faced a lengthy legal battle with one of its former contractors, Gary Smith. In 2018, Mr Smith won a Supreme Court ruling over holiday and sick pay. However, an employment tribunal later ruled that he was not entitled to make a claim for the back pay, as he had not completed the necessary paperwork. Mr Mullins insisted that the vaccination change to contracts \"will be done legally\", but said that he was willing to take this matter to the Supreme Court as well, if necessary.

Instead the brutal conflict has been nudged out of Uganda, and into neighbouring countries like the Democratic Republic of Congo - not the first time the DR Cong has played host to other people's battles - where it has continued to fester in its uniquely barbarous way. There is an interesting new website where you can track the atrocities. Now, as you may have heard, the US is sending 100 troops to Uganda for what some believe could be the final chapter in one of the region's longest, cruellest and most overlooked wars. It is a small, limited deployment by President Barack Obama, in a country where America now has a fairly complex set of interests, ranging from Uganda's new oil fields to its vital role in the peacekeeping operation in nearby Somalia. The Americans will presumably be looking to play a co-ordinating role in the hunt for the LRA's crazed, elusive, Kurtz-like leader, Joseph Kony. Previous outside attempts to track him down have lacked a certain focus. As with Unita rebel leader Jonas Savimbi's death in Angola, this feels like a conflict that could wither away very quickly once the ringleader is removed. Even then, though, I suppose, there is a danger that a rebellion that lost any sense of logic or meaningful motive decades ago will linger on - perhaps finding new regional sponsors - and preying on remote communities as so many other marauding militias still do in the Great Lakes. I thought I would link below to some interesting responses to the US military's latest venture on the continent. But first - if you can cope with such proudly flaunted ignorance - check out the all-too-revealing reaction of one famous American talk-show host. With Darfur out of the news, the LRA has started to attract more attention abroad. Hollywood has even taken up the story - or one disputed version of it. And I believe the topic even featured on a recent episode of \"So You Think You Can Dance\". On a more serious note, the Washington Post endorsed President Obama's move while the Atlantic Monthly took a more \"wait-and-see\" approach. This blogger lamented America's short-termism. So did this one. While this article puts a human face on some of the challenges facing American troops, and this website offers a direct message to President Obama from victims of the LRA. As with Kenya's current offensive across the border into Somalia, there is a risk that US intervention in Uganda will galvanise a struggling insurgency, rather than weaken it. But in this instance, I doubt it. Anyone who has seen the LRA's gruesome handiwork will be praying for a quick, decisive finale.",

FGM, sometimes called female circumcision, involves the cutting or cutting away of external female genital organs. It is common in some African, Asian and Middle Eastern communities. Official figures put the number of victims of FGM in the UK at about 66,000, but this is thought to be an underestimate. Mr Gove made the announcement after meeting campaigners on Tuesday. They included Bristol student Fahma Mohamed, who started a petition backed by the Guardian newspaper, asking for Mr Gove to send guidance to schools before the summer, when many girls are taken away to be cut. The petition, signed by 234,000 people, states that 24,000 girls in the UK are currently at risk of FGM. In a statement released last night, Mr Gove said: \"I was very pleased to meet Fahma Mohamed today. \"She has been running an inspirational campaign. Fahma and her supporters have done fantastic work in raising awareness of female genital mutilation. \"It is a truly horrific crime. We must do everything we can to end it.\" This will include signs to look out for that a child may have been a victim of FGM, as well as facts about the practice and a guidance that the legal safeguarding duties teachers and school staff have to children include protection from FGM. Mr Gove added: \"I thank Fahma - and other courageous public campaigners against female genital mutilation - for their efforts. \"We all want to see this very serious form of child abuse consigned to history.\" FGM has been a criminal offence in the UK since 1985, but no-one in Britain has been prosecuted. It is often carried out without anaesthetic and victims are usually aged between four and 10. Some are babies. The children are cut for cultural, not medical, reasons and campaigners say it is a way of oppressing and controlling women and a practice that can leave life-long physical and mental scars. Researchers believe most cases go unreported because the girls are young and do not want to speak out against their families. Earlier this month, schools in Scotland were told all teachers should receive training about the issue and that parents should be educated too. The Scottish Parliament was told 3,000 girls in Scotland were at risk. After meeting Mr Gove, Fahma Mohamed said: \"I just want to thank everyone for signing the petition. Without them, without Malala and without Ban Ki-moon, this issue wouldn't have been in the spotlight and he never would have agreed to meet us and say yes!\". The student is a junior trustee of a charity called Integrate Bristol. A spokesman for the group said: \"We are thrilled by this positive response and commitment from the Education Secretary. This is big news for the cause and something the young people have been campaigning for over seven years. \"It's time that FGM is universally recognised as a form of child abuse that cannot be ignored by anyone. For too long the UK has been engaging with the rhetoric but not taking serious steps to combat FGM.\"",

I threw up.\" For Anna Scanlon, it was a nightmarish twist on what had once been a positive addition to her online life. After moving to Milton Keynes from California in 2012, she found video making not only a way to update friends and family on her new life, but an introduction to a whole new community. \"When I moved to the UK I didn't know anyone,\" she says, \"so YouTube became a great outlet to be able to interact with people on a daily basis.\" Anna, now 34, became immersed in her studies - a PhD in Holocaust History at the University of Leicester - as well as her YouTube channel. At about the same time she decided to turn vegan, motivated both by a desire to lose weight and also for ethical reasons. Her vlogging increasingly covered vegan issues - and soon she became a target for another vegan blogger. YouTube drama Vegan Cheetah, whose real name is Charles Marlowe-Cremedas, is a popular vegan vlogger. He lives in California and he built his channel, which has 37,000 subscribers on YouTube, by engaging in debates about veganism. Like in other subcultures, arguments in the vegan world are often fractious and - for those outside the subculture - often tediously detailed. Vegans argue back and forth about questions like whether it's OK to date non-vegans, or keep pets, and a host of other issues. You may also be interested in: The Vegan Cheetah channel included \"drama\" videos - a particular and hugely popular YouTube genre which catalogues gossip and rumours, often about other YouTubers or celebrities. Anna watched his videos. Initially she saw the appeal. \"He was saying something that a lot of people in the community resonated with,\" she says. But soon, she claims, Vegan Cheetah ran out of original ideas and his channel \"just became bashing individual vegans.\" Anna posted criticism of Charles in a private Facebook group, but somehow the drama vlogger got wind of it and began making drama videos - about Anna. He claimed that Anna called him on Skype, exposed herself to him, and started performing sexual acts on camera - all things which Anna says \"never happened.\" It culminated in a four-hour broadcast on another video site, YouNow. Charles repeated the allegations and encouraged people to join in a live-streaming conversation. More on this story \"I did confront him asking him to retract his statement, but as it went on I think he really enjoyed the attention that he got from saying these things,\" Anna says. \"His audience loved it and joined in.\" \"It was very shocking to me because it had no basis in reality,\" she says of the claims. \"I felt disgusted, at that point I thought about taking legal action.\" In April 2017 she did just that, and filed a defamation suit in California. Charles Marlowe-Cremedas declined to comment for this story, but in court filings he has denied Anna's allegations. Until recently, he continued to make a series of reaction videos insulting Anna and saying that the lawsuit \"doesn't scare me.\" Anna says that initially YouTube and YouNow took no action, even though she reported Vegan Cheetah's videos. \"I sent YouNow several emails,\" she says \"they didn't even respond.\" \"Social media companies could do a lot better especially when it comes to protecting the safety of people online,\" she says. \"If they have somebody who is constantly reporting incidents then maybe it might be better to actually look into it and talk to people and actually take reporting seriously instead of just glossing over it.\" Visit BBC Trending on Facebook In a statement, YouTube told BBC Trending: \"We have clear rules and policies against bullying and hateful speech and we enforce these policies. Our broadcasts are monitored 24/7, and any user who is reported is quickly disciplined.\" YouNow said in a statement: \"We have strict policies against inappropriate behaviour, harassment and illegal activities. 24/7 live moderators respond to any issue flagged by the community or detected by our automated systems.\" After Anna filed her lawsuit, Marlowe-Cremedas was suspended from YouNow. His YouTube channel is still online, however recently most of his old videos were taken down. Court case After initially refusing to respond to the legal action, Charles filed a response to Anna's lawsuit in May, 13 months after the lawsuit was originally filed. A trial is now pending. \"I think one of the positives is that people have seen that they can speak up for themselves,\" Anna says. \"I hope this gives people some hope that the internet will be a bit of a safer place.\" If you've been affected by this story, there are resources and links available from BBC Action Line Do you have a story for us?

            "input": "Roseann Mallon, 76, was killed when loyalist gunmen opened fire on a house at Cullenrammer Road, Dungannon, County Tyrone, in May, 1994. Months later, an Army surveillance camera was found close to the scene. But a barrister representing her family told the inquest: \"These tapes were wiped. Almost entirely.\" According to the barrister, scraps of edited recordings were retained but the bulk of footage from the day of the shooting and the previous three weeks were destroyed. Ms Mallon was shot multiple times in the attack, which was carried out by the Ulster Volunteer Force (UVF). Her death was controversial because it later emerged the Army was conducting a surveillance operation on a nearby house owned by her nephew. 'Need to know' Her inquest at Belfast's Laganside court complex also heard how the police officer leading the hunt for the UVF killers was not told about the covert Army operation that had been filming the Mallon house since April 1, 1994. Kenneth McFarland, a former Royal Ulster Constabulary (RUC) detective chief inspector, said he only found out about the camera after being contacted by a solicitor two months after the attack. Mr McFarland, who retired in 2002, said he had requested information from RUC Special Branch but was informed they had nothing that could assist his case. He said: \"Special Branch operated on a need to know basis. If they felt you did not need to know it, you didn't know it.\" Claims of security force collusion were made after the unmanned camera was found concealed in a field overlooking the house and adjacent engineering workshop used by Ms Mallon's nephews Martin and Christopher. 'Frustrated' It transmitted footage to soldiers in a nearby wood. A number of people, including loyalist paramilitary Billy Wright, were arrested and questioned in the wake of the shooting but no one has ever been charged with Roseann Mallon's murder. Mr McFarland said he had been frustrated by the lack of co-operation from Special Branch and had been keen to locate the camera. \"It was taken as read this was an undercover operation. From my point of view the important (thing) was to get my hands on the camera to see if it could assist me.\" He later added: \"I felt frustrated. I would have liked all the evidence at the time.\" When asked by the Mallon family's barrister if it was \"indefensible\" that the recordings were never handed over, Mr McFarland replied: \"I would have thought the best course of action would have been to provide my team with the tapes.\" However, the retired officer said he did not believe his inquiry had been critically undermined. 'Stashed guns' Earlier, the court heard a claim that the RUC pressurised a 10-year-old boy into changing a police statement he made about having seen guns close to the murder scene on the day before Ms Mallon's killing. The boy, Gareth Loughran, claimed at the time to have seen guns and army packs stashed in an old mill near the Mallons' houses. Mr Loughran, now an adult, testified to the inquest that two RUC detectives visited his own family home on the day after the murder and questioned him about his claim. \"It seemed to me at the time they wanted me to say I hadn't seen anything,\" the witness told the Coroner's court. Mr Loughran was a neighbour of Ms Mallon and a childhood friend of one of her relatives, Barry Rafferty. He described how, as a 10-year-old boy, he had gone to the old mill with Barry Rafferty with the intention of building a hut. Mr Loughran said when he opened a bolted shed door, he saw military-type rucksacks and about five or six guns leaning up against the wall. The boys were then confronted by a man in camouflage-type clothing who told them to leave the area, the inquest wad told. 'Lied' The children reported their discovery to their parents and were taken to their local police station the following day, Sunday, 8 May 1994, to make statements. That night Ms Mallon was shot dead. On 9 May 1994, two RUC detectives visited the Loughran family home and spent two hours interviewing Gareth about his statement. He told the inquest: \"They just kept repeating the question.\" Later he added: \"They went over and over it again until they made me doubt myself. They made me think I hadn't seen anything.\" After being questioned by the two RUC men, the 10-year-old Mr Loughran then made a second statement in which he said he had lied about what he had seen at the mill. His mother, Sheila Loughran, told the inquest she was unaware the police officers who visited her home had been interrogating her son. 'Upset' Mrs Loughran, a nurse, said neither she nor her husband had been present for the interview because she had thought the officers just wanted to clarify a few points. She added: \"Roseann had died. The dynamics had changed. Everybody was upset.\" Mrs Loughran told the court she had accepted without question the authority of the officer who said that her son had lied. \"Twenty years on I wouldn't, but then I would,\" she said. The inquest is scheduled to last for two weeks and is expected to hear from two Special Branch officers whose identity has not been made public. A number of soldiers also due to give evidence have been granted anonymity despite objections from the Mallon family. The case was among 29 controversial Troubles-related inquests awaiting a full hearing.",

The African National Congress (ANC) says its National Executive Committee (NEC) will meet on Monday to decide Mr Zuma's future.

A similar NEC meeting was called off last week after direct talks between Mr Zuma and Mr Ramaphosa, who is the deputy president as well as the new leader of the party. Mr Zuma has faced increasing pressure to quit since December, when Mr Ramaphosa replaced him as leader of the ruling African National Congress (ANC). In a speech at the event in Cape Town, Mr Ramaphosa said the key aim of transition talks was to unite South Africans. He also acknowledged the disunity within the ANC but said Mr Mandela's centenary year \"offers us a new beginning\". Urging South Africans to restore the values Mr Mandela stood for, he called for an end to corruption and said those who had stolen state assets would be brought to justice. \"We must work together as Madiba taught us to push back the frontiers of poverty, unemployment and inequality,\" he said, using another name for Mr Mandela. He also addressed the Cape Town water crisis, which has seen residents limited to using 50 litres a day amid fears the city could run out of water in May. \"If there ever was a time when we should be working together, this water crisis is the time,\" he said.

The findings differ from an official preliminary examination carried out by the county medical examiner. It did not find evidence of \"traumatic asphyxia or strangulation\". The official examination also said underlying health conditions played a role in Mr Floyd's death. But the two doctors hired by the Floyd family found the death was a homicide, a statement from its legal team said. \"The cause of death in my opinion is asphyxia, due to compression to the neck - which can interfere with oxygen going to the brain - and compression to the back, which interferes with breathing,\" Dr Michael Baden, a former New York City medical examiner and one of the pair, said at a news conference. A video showing a white police officer continuing to kneel on George Floyd's neck even after he pleaded he could not breathe sparked outrage when it emerged a week ago. It has led to six consecutive days of protests around the United States and a level of civil unrest not seen this widely across the country in decades. Benjamin Crump, a lawyer for the Floyd family, told Monday's news conference: \"Beyond doubt he would be alive today if not for the pressure applied to his neck by officer Derek Chauvin and the strain on his body by two other officers.\" He added: \"The ambulance was his hearse.\" Dr Baden said there was \"no other health issue that could cause or contribute to the death\". The findings contradict those of a preliminary post-mortem examination that was included in the criminal complaint against Mr Chauvin, who has been charged with third-degree murder and manslaughter. The medical examiner noted in that report that Mr Floyd had underlying heart conditions and said the combination of these, \"potential intoxicants in his system\" and being restrained by the officers \"likely contributed to his death\". The full official death examination is yet to be released by the office of the Hennepin County Medical Examiner. It says it is awaiting more results from laboratory studies. The Floyd family and their lawyers say the charge against Mr Chauvin should be increased to first-degree murder. They say the private post-mortem examination proves two other officers filmed kneeling on his back also contributed to his death. What's the latest on protests? More than 75 cities have seen protests over what happened to George Floyd, with streets only days ago deserted because of coronavirus full of demonstrators marching shoulder to shoulder. The case has reignited deep-seated anger over police killings of black Americans and racism. It follows the high-profile cases of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Eric Garner in New York and others that have driven the Black Lives Matter movement. On Sunday, mostly peaceful demonstrations once again gave way to violence in many cities, with clashes erupting between police and protesters. Police cars were burned, buildings were torched and shops looted in several places. Dozens of cities imposed curfews but they were defied. On Monday, President Trump told state governors they had been \"weak\" and had to get \"much tougher\", and utilise troops from the National Guard, thousands of whom have already been activated in two dozen states. \"You've got to arrest people, you have to track people, you have to put them in jail for 10 years and you'll never see this stuff again,\" Mr Trump said in a video conference call, according to US media. There have been scenes of violence in Washington DC in recent nights, including near the White House. Demonstrators lit fire to buildings including a historic church known as the church of the presidents overnight on Sunday. Many videos shared on social media from across the US appeared to show riot police responding disproportionately to demonstrators. Dozens of attacks targeting journalists have been reported. The curfew in Washington DC has been extended for another two nights and will start at 19:00 on Monday. A curfew starting at 23:00 had been in effect on Sunday. New York City is also imposing a citywide curfew on Monday from 23:00 until 05:00 on Tuesday. \"The violence and the looting has been bad for the city, the state and this entire national movement, undermining and distracting from this righteous cause,\" said New York Governor Andrew Cuomo.",

            "input": "By Hannah RichardsonBBC News education reporter The NASUWT union argues that using staff without qualified teacher status in the wrong circumstances is an abuse. General secretary Chris Keates suggested the government was encouraging the practice to save money. The government wants its flagship free schools in England to use unqualified teachers to give them more flexibility. But these schools, set up by parent and community groups, will not be allowed to proceed unless they have sound plans for quality teaching, ministers have said. The union is debating a resolution on the subject at its annual conference in Glasgow. The resolution calls on the NASUWT's executive to ensure schools are allowed to use staff without qualified status only to cover short-term absences or allow teachers to plan and prepare for classes, or when all attempts to obtain a qualified teacher have failed. The NASUWT said one teaching assistant taught a class for three years despite not being qualified. It also cited the example of another teaching assistant delivering lessons full-time. Teaching assistants are widely used in schools to help teachers in the classroom. Those with the higher level teaching assistant's qualification are allowed to take lessons but they are not permitted to teach new material, which should always be done by a qualified teacher. 'Flouting the law' Ms Keates said the government's move to scrap the national negotiating body for school support staff had given schools a licence to misuse and abuse support staff. She added: \"Support staff are valuable members of the education team and do an excellent job, but they are not trained and paid to be teachers.\" \"Schools are flouting the law and statutory guidance, and compromising standards.\" She also warned parents to expect it to happen more frequently in England as Education Secretary Michael Gove's policy to increase the number of academies and free schools progressed. The comments come as research published at the National Union of Teachers conference in Harrogate suggests two-thirds of adults in Britain believe free schools will undermine the quality of children's education. Four-fifths of the 2,000 adults surveyed by the company ComRes for the NUT said they would not want their child going to a free school that did not employ professional teachers. And 86% said they thought any school receiving state funds should employ qualified teachers. 'Drive up standards' NUT general secretary Christine Blower said: \"This survey clearly shows that the majority of people want children to be taught by a qualified teacher. \"They see no advantage to doing anything other than this and are perfectly aware that if unqualified teachers become the norm in free schools it will simply be to cut costs.\" On free schools, Mr Gove has said he wants \"the dynamism that characterises the best independent schools to drive up standards in the state sector\". \"In this spirit we will not be setting overly prescriptive requirements in relation to qualifications - instead we will expect business cases to demonstrate how governing bodies intend to guarantee the highest quality of teaching and leadership in their schools,\" he said in response to a question in the House of Commons last November. \"Ensuring each free school's unique educational vision is translated into the classroom will require brilliant people with a diverse range of experience,\" he said.",

The money and designs are planned to come from a private leisure company. Denbighshire councillors agreed to look at the business case and approved an immediate investment in the Sky Tower to ensure it meets safety regulations. The tower would not reopen as an aerial ride at this stage. Councillors also passed a recommendation asking for the aquatic centre business plan to examine how much it would cost to include a 50m pool. The new reports ordered by the council, which will cost up to £30,000 in fees, are likely to be ready for consideration around April. When the Sun Centre pool opened 30 years ago it quickly became a hit with visitors and locals alike, but councillors have been told it is time to replace it. The new aquatic centre would be opposite the amusement arcades which dominate the middle section of Rhyl's promenade. By placing it there, says a report that was put before councillors on Tuesday, visitors would be brought into the centre of Rhyl, encouraging them to use the town's shops. It is hoped this would attract national food chains to open in the Children's Village - a collection of retail units which have struggled to attract business since they opened in the 1990s. Tom Booty, manager of the Rhyl Going Forward Project, said: \"We recognise that the visitor economy is not what it was and I don't think we can realistically think that Rhyl will go back to the heady days of the 60s. \"Nonetheless, people will always be attracted to the seaside and tourism will remain an important part of the economy, so we want to make sure that part of the offer is fit for the 21st Century.\" With Marks and Spencer and Next set to close their stores in Rhyl, John Bellis, who chairs the Rhyl Business Group, says these new proposals are key to revitalising the town. \"What we want is to stop the negativity and to push the positive message that Rhyl is open for business,\" he said. Aerial ride \"It has got attractions here and things that people would want to visit.\" Mr Bellis added: \"The present Sun Centre is time limited. We understand that that will continue operating until a new facility is available. \"Rhyl needs an attraction like this. We are a seaside town and it's something like this which is going to put us back on the map.\" Jamie Groves, head of leisure for Denbighshire council, said the real benefit of the proposed revamp was to show the private sector that Rhyl remained a seaside town with a future. But getting this scheme off the drawing board will not be straightforward.

It also said job losses could reach 144,000 if all 17 eurozone members reverted to their own currencies. The institute said this was a \"what-if\" scenario and not a forecast. Report author Prof Brian Ashcroft said a eurozone collapse would lead to a \"dramatic and frightening shock to the Scottish economy\". The institute's report said growth in the Scottish economy appeared to be weakening again after some survey evidence of a pick-up in the first quarter of the year. The report argued it had become clear that a recovery in output stalled after mid-2010, citing the UK government's fiscal austerity programme as \"the main culprit\". The institute went on to say that the situation in the eurozone \"complicated the forecasting picture considerably\". Election victory At the weekend, world leaders welcomed the narrow election victory of Greece's broadly pro-bailout New Democracy party and urged Athens to form a cabinet quickly. They are hoping that reforms will help Greece overcome tough economic and social challenges. However, the Fraser of Allander Institute argued that the risk remained of a Greek default and even exit from the euro in the near term, and the break-up of the euro in the medium term. It said it had considered the two outcomes as possible scenarios to assess their likely impact on the Scottish economy. \"Our main conclusions are: First, a Greek exit leads to a drop in GDP in Scotland of -1.2% and a loss of just under 50,000 jobs,\" it said. \"Secondly, the consequences of the break-up of the euro would be a major economic event for Scotland, even though we are not in the euro.\" 'Great Recession' The report added: \"With an estimated drop in GDP of -5.3% and loss of 144,200 jobs, the effect would be comparable in scale to the effects of the recent Great Recession and worse than our simulation estimate of the effect of fiscal consolidation.\" The Scottish government said that while the break-up of the eurozone represented the worst-case scenario in the Fraser of Allander forecast, it continued \"to actively monitor the situation\". A spokesman added: \"The ongoing uncertainty has undoubtedly added to the pressure on the world economy, and that is why this government and our enterprise agencies are doing everything, within our current powers, to support recovery - with key successes in terms of falling unemployment and the best record of inward investment jobs anywhere in the UK.\"",

            "input": "By Douglas FraserBusiness and economy editor, Scotland We knew fish was a big issue for Europe's future dealings with the UK, and reportedly continued that way into the final hours before unveiling a trade deal. But chips as well? The humble tattie has become a part of the negotiation, and as a significant Scottish export, it's been targeted to put pressure on the government in London. This has to do with \"third country\" status being approved, as part of the UK's dealings with the European Union. That isn't part of a deal on removing tariffs and quotas as obstacles to trade, but instead a necessary starting point for any trading relationship that Britain has with the EU. It's particularly important for agricultural exports. And ahead of the trade agreement being unveiled, in all the glory of its technical jargon (watch out for cross-retaliation, a ratchet clause, data adequacy and pelagic zonal attachment), it allows exports of meat, dairy and crops to cross the border. But not all crops. At least one item has been left out of the deal, and deliberately so. Seed potatoes are not included, while \"ware\" potatoes are. Ware potatoes are the ones consumers buy and boil, or roasted with other trimmings with the Christmas turkey. Seed potatoes are sold to farmers in warmer climes, where yield on potatoes is affected by year-round bugs and disease. With its colder, wet climate, Scotland gives potatoes a disease-free start in life, and those seed potatoes are exported to Mediterranean countries, to replenish perpetually depleting production. North Africa has the biggest customers, while 20,000 tonnes - around a fifth of the UK's total exports - have gone to the European Union. The reason given, in a letter to the agriculture sector seen by the BBC, is that the UK has not complied with the EU's demands on \"dynamic alignment\". This has very little to do with tattie farming, and everything to do with the level playing field, which has been a major bone of contention in negotiations. It's about the EU's requirement that future upgrades in the levels of regulation for environmental or labour protection by the European Union should be matched by the UK. Carrot and stick The UK has pushed back, saying it doesn't want its standards to be set by the EU. That was the point of Brexit for many Brexiteers. There may be some compromise, but not enough for the Europeans, so they're exacting a price - and choosing to target seed potatoes. Why? Well, trade is about the incentive for both partners to become better off, but also about pressure for each other to give ground. The EU is experienced in picking the pressure points in its trading partners, such as the United States. That is why there's a 25% tariff on bourbon and other US whiskies, in retaliation against US tariffs on steel and aluminium. The Republican Senate majority leader, Mitch McConnell, represents the whiskey distilling state of Kentucky. So when it sought a product that would put pressure on the UK government, it alighted on one that is grown mostly in the counties of Perthshire, Angus, Aberdeenshire and Moray. What do they have in common politically? They are where you're most likely to find Scottish Tories. The politics of Brexit doesn't finish with a deal. Much of it starts from a deal. As with Switzerland, the relationship with the European Union is going to be a near-constant negotiation - offering economic carrot and wielding a political stick.",

That points to the use of political pressure on the Conservative government, and we can expect lots more of that to come."

            "input": "If you stop someone in the street and ask what the words \"male suicide\" brings to mind they'll probably mention a singer, maybe Kurt Cobain or Keith Flint, or perhaps a footballer, such as Gary Speed. Most likely it will be someone who became famous when they were young, perhaps lived a life of excess, and didn't make it to the relative stability and equanimity of middle age. This perception is supported to an extent by statistics: suicide is Britain's biggest killer of males under 50, with 45 to 49 the peak age bracket, according to the most recent official figures for England and Wales. The figures also bleakly confirm that the overall suicide rate has risen sharply to its highest level since 2000, with 75% being men - one dies roughly every two hours. Within these grim numbers, however, lies a hidden demographic of men who are extinguishing their lives far away from TV screens and Twitter feeds - a later age group where suicide rates rise again, but out of the public eye. In 2018 my father became one of them. Dad was 76 when he took his life, 18 months after Mum had died following a long illness. He was never able to come to terms with the loss of his life partner, feeling increasingly lonely, useless and isolated, despite regular visits from his children and grandchildren. One reason why three times more men than women kill themselves, is widely thought to be the lifelong conditioned adherence to masculine behaviour patterns: repressing emotions instead of expressing them, which is deemed weakness; and refusing to seek help, either from friends and family or health professionals. The urge to self-medicate with drugs or alcohol is also far more common among men, which invariably compounds the problem, leading to impulsive behaviour. What frequently separates the younger and older demographics, though, are the causes of the anxiety and depression that lead to suicidal ideas. In younger males these can range from identity issues to financial difficulties, often caused by loss of employment, and the perceived pressure to be economically successful. These are less likely to be problems experienced by the 70-plus age group. For them, loneliness tends to be a key factor. \"The potentially harmful effects of loneliness and isolation on health and longevity, especially among older adults, are well-established,\" wellness author Jane Brody has written. \"Research has found that loneliness can impair health by raising levels of stress hormones, which in turn can increase the risk of heart disease, dementia and even suicide attempts.\" In my father's case, the loss of his 45-year marriage partner, whom he had cared for devotedly in her final years, left him struggling. His retirement had not brought the contentment it had promised, and no number of visits from his children could dispel his loneliness. He had little in the way of a social circle - another factor that differentiates older men from women, who tend to be better socially connected. Not long after Mum's funeral, Dad was diagnosed with cancer, which he typically kept as quiet as possible, stoically undergoing his radiotherapy until given the all-clear seven months later. Even then there was no feeling of celebration or rejuvenation, no more joy to derive from things he'd once loved. Attendance at long-planned family engagements like Christmas was cancelled at the last second. He started to feel physical pains for which medics could find no cause. As a younger man, Dad's enjoyment of life had been infectious. A proud working-class man, who began and ended his working life as a bus driver, he enjoyed a beer and a smoke, and was always the life and soul of a party. He was ever the raconteur, and had a perpetual silly streak that didn't fade with age. His comedy idol was Norman Wisdom - he would never not find his films hysterically funny - yet he was also deeply moved by music, his favourite artists being Elvis and Roy Orbison, in particular their rousing balladry. When Orbison's Black and White Night came out on video he would watch it every weekend literally for months on end, as his downtime treat. He was all about the simple pleasures, from an afternoon nap to a Slurpee on a hot day. He once broke an incisor chomping into a frozen Mars bar that had been in the fridge too long. But his biggest mortification was probably the time he found an exotic-looking French lager on bulk sale in a Calais supermarket and duly loaded up the car boot with several crates, only to find when cracking one open back in England that it was a sickly sweet shandy with a minuscule alcohol content. I'll never forget his swearing at the moment of realisation, before the hilarity of the error took hold. It must have taken at least a year to get through them all. He pretended to have \"grown fond\" of them at one point, but wasn't fooling anyone. It's not just the causes of suicidal feelings that differ in older people, but also the symptoms. \"Older adults 'cry for help' in markedly different ways than teens, because depression looks different when we age,\" says Dr Patrick Arbore, who founded Friendship Line in the US, specifically to counsel elderly people at risk of suicide. \"Depressed older adults are more likely to be irritable than sad, and to complain about physical ailments their doctor can't find a reason for.\" He discovered that older adults weren't calling crisis lines because they didn't see themselves as being in crisis. They were lonely and depressed, but it was a chronic, undiagnosed condition that developed over time. While Dad was never officially diagnosed with depression, my siblings and I, fully aware of his isolation and anxieties, convinced him to move from his rural home to a wardened retirement property closer to us all. While he agreed to this at first, saying he'd do whatever we thought best, he later became hesitant and obstructive when it came to viewing properties, and non-committal on whether he wanted to move at all. The interpersonal theory of suicide articulated by psychologist Dr Thomas Joiner, whose own father killed himself, proposes that there are two chief causes of suicidal desire, \"thwarted belongingness\" and \"perceived burdensomeness\" - with the simultaneous presence of both being particularly dangerous. Only now does this make perfect sense, looking back at Dad's final predicament. He wanted to end the loneliness but not encumber his kids - or anyone, including himself - with the upheaval of moving. \"When young people talk about suicide or say 'I want to die', older adults are more likely to say 'There's no place for me' or 'I don't want to be a burden',\" says Patrick Arbore. \"While we're thankfully more sensitive to the effects of outside pressures on young people, such as bullying and online harassment, we miss clear warning signs with older adults.\" Again, it was only when I later came across a checklist of red flags that I realised how many had been glaringly obvious, but tragically went unnoticed at the time. The obsession with getting his affairs in order - accepting literally the first offer on his house, while still not fully committing to finding a new one. Random gifts - insisting on getting my car MOT'd and fully serviced. The morbid talk of wishing he lived in America where he could easily obtain a gun - which I reflexively shut down (\"Don't be stupid!\") instead of engaging him on it. As I later read, discussing suicide is in no way advocating it. How to get help The most poignant forewarning was the last. One afternoon Dad turned up at my house, 70 miles away, just to \"hang out\" for an hour, something he'd never done before. Gratified by this unexpected social effort I gladly chatted with him over coffee, suggesting we all go away for a family holiday once he'd sold up, and then after a hug he was gone again. It was the last time I saw him, as a couple of weeks later he was gone for good. I know now that he was saying goodbye. My feelings of guilt started early because I had been able to see first-hand how lonely he was, rattling around his home with little to do except watch daytime TV. As a childless freelancer, I could spend weeks with him at a time, working from his house and a local library. When it was time to return home he would sometimes ask if I could stay one more day, which I couldn't always agree to. So I would feel guilty and despondent on those long drives back. Then, during one of my final visits, he asked if I would consider moving back in with him full-time, which I had to decline as it just wouldn't have worked out for me, a man in my late 30s, to be cohabiting with his father again in a rural dwelling. I can't help but look back on it all with profound sadness, knowing what was to come next. \"Risk states are dynamic - they wax and wane over short periods of time,\" says geriatric psychiatrist Dr Yeates Conwell of the University of Rochester in New York, who calls the suicidal state a \"teeter-totter\". \"There's a will to live and a will to die, and it goes back and forth.\" If this oscillating motivation is allowed to swing unchecked, older men are far more lethal in their suicidal behaviour, Conwell says, citing studies that suggest one in four senior citizens who attempt suicide dies, versus one in 200 for younger adults. They plan more carefully and use deadlier methods, while physical frailty reduces the likelihood of recovery from injuries, and increased isolation diminishes the chances of rescue. \"Older age is significantly associated with more determined and planful self-destructive acts,\" says Conwell. \"And fewer warnings of suicidal intent.\" This makes intervention to diagnose and treat depression all the more important, and it works. A 2009 US trial found that anti-depressant treatment significantly reduced the risk of suicidal ideation for those aged 65-plus. A rapid rise in the older adult population, driven by the ageing of the baby boomer generation, means elderly suicide numbers are likely to continue rising. It's telling that My Generation by The Who became something of an anthem for the boomer cohort, with its central \"Hope I die before I get old\" line. Only now do I wish that lyric had never been written. You may also be interested in:",

'Provoking reaction' Several items, which remained on sale on Tuesday morning, feature references to Islam. Dr Irfan Malik, from Nottingham, said the website's items were disrespecting several faiths, not just Islam. \"The last few weeks there's been a number of tweets about items on the website and it's just getting worse and worse,\" he said. \"Normally these things don't bother me and I respect people's freedom of speech to criticise and debate religion, but these just seem to be pushing those lines further and further - almost provoking people into a reaction.\" He said the products were purposely \"stirring emotions\" and described having miniskirts with religious scriptures printed on them as \"just weird\". Organisation TellMAMA - which reports anti-Muslim hate and supports victims - said traders should \"reflect\" on these items with religious texts and iconography, which could be \"inflammatory to communities\". 'Religion is not fashion' Director Iman Atta added: \"Whilst traders may want to carry on selling such items, does it really make profit for them or just gain notoriety? \"Alternatively, we must also say that traders, writers and artists have the right to push boundaries and these are the tensions that exist in society. We need to be aware of them.\" Social media users have been criticising the website for leaving the skirts up for sale. One wrote: \"Religion is not fashion, these miniskirts are highly upsetting to people from the Muslim faith.\" Earlier this month the website removed pillows, tote bags and T-shirts showing harrowing images of the Auschwitz concentration camp after the Auschwitz Museum complained. And last week they took \"immediate action\" to take down skirts featuring a Sikh guru and images of Harmandir Sahib, a holy place of worship in Sikhism. Redbubble responded to some complaints about those garments to say they were \"grateful\" to be made aware of concerns. It said it had removed items not conforming to its \"community guidelines\" and changed its upload process to ensure artists are asked to assess the appropriateness for their product. A spokeswoman added: \"We understand and respect the sentiments raised that some designs inspired by religious and culturally significant imagery are offensive to some people in the Sikh and Muslim communities when placed on certain products. \"We truly appreciate the feedback we have received and hope our actions demonstrate a commitment to engaging responsively.\" Follow BBC East Midlands on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram.

            "input": "When Joko Widodo (also known as Jokowi) won Indonesia's presidential election earlier this year, supporters of his rival, former army general Prabowo Subianto, took to the streets and the ensuing violence left several dead. Five bitter months since the vote The election campaign had been angry, peppered with accusations of fraud, and it was only in the summer, in June, that Indonesia's constitutional court finally ended the political uncertainty to uphold Mr Widodo's win. But just months after that, student protests hit the streets of Indonesia, prompted by a controversial and draconian criminal code being considered by parliament. They morphed into something bigger, an expression of anger and despair with the government. Protesters also rejected the passing of a new anti-corruption law which they thought undermined the country's beloved anti-corruption agency. Those protests also left several dead and, although the vote on the code was postponed, the bitterness is still evident. Everybody watched to see how Mr Widodo would respond and what that might tell us about the state of democracy in Indonesia for the next few years. In some ways, the answer came this week with the appointment of Mr Subianto as defence minister. Quite apart from being his rival in Indonesia's two most recent presidential elections, he is a controversial figure with a tainted record on human rights. Jokowi, as the president is known, was seen as a self-made \"man of the people\" when he first came to power in 2014 - mild-mannered, jocular and with a well-documented love of heavy metal music and taking selfies. But the years have shown him willing to make harsh political compromises and, despite serious challenges to Indonesia's stated values of religious tolerance and social cohesion in recent years, his priorities remain infrastructure, economic reform and political stability. This appointment can be seen as prioritising such goals as he eyes a tangible legacy at the end of his second and final term. \"You don't see a lot of real reform-minded figures in the cabinet, the type of figures that would really give a sign to any liberals in Indonesia that the government is paying attention to issues of democracy and human rights,\" says researcher Alexander Raymond Arifianto of the S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies in Singapore. \"The government is just going to pave the way for status quo while they're promoting all these higher priority projects in economy and infrastructure development.\" Who is the rival-turned-ally? Prabowo Subianto, 68, was born into a family steeped in Indonesian political privilege, the son of Sumitro Djojohadikusumo, an economic whiz who held ministerial posts from the 1950s to the 1970s. His father went into exile for a decade from 1957 because of his alleged involvement with a separatist group in the region of Sumatra. Mr Subianto followed as his family fled to a number of European cities, including Zurich and London. Mr Subianto eventually married the second daughter of the late authoritarian president Suharto - a move some in the military have argued helped his swift rise. But by that time, allegations were already swirling of his involvement in bloody military operations in East Timor. He was eventually dismissed from the army for his role in the abduction and murder of student activists in 1998. His human rights record did not go unnoticed by the West, with the United States denying him visa in mid-2000s and 2014. Australia also once put him on a blacklist. But Mr Subianto nevertheless made an extraordinary political comeback - although his four attempts to be leader ended in failure. And Mr Widodo's decision to add him to his cabinet, just months after his latest defeat, has dismayed many of the president's supporters. \"[Jokowi's] rival in the presidential election, who lost because the people rejected intolerance, anti-democratic [values], and human rights violations, is instead placed on an honourable position in the cabinet. We understand that there is a deep disappointment among Jokowi volunteers,\" says Handoko, general secretary of Projo, a Jokowi supporters group. So why did he do it? \"Prabowo is an intelligent individual who speaks multiple languages and will certainly be helpful when it comes to defence diplomacy,\" says Aaron Connelly, research fellow on Southeast Asian politics at the International Institute for Strategic Studies in Singapore. \"But the biggest risk is that tension between Jokowi and Prabowo will not subside, but only get greater as the relationship is not built on mutual trust and respect.\" Yet the hope is that he will bring political stability to the president's last term after five years of relentless attacks from his rivals, says Mr Arifianto. Mr Widodo has made it clear that his priority is going to be infrastructure and economic reform, signalling his goal to be the country's next \"Father of Development\", a title once held by Suharto, Indonesia's last dictator and his new colleague's father-in-law. So such stability will be prized. He also picked the co-founder of homegrown ride-hailing firm Gojek to head the education ministry and a media tycoon for a state-owned enterprises post. But this is cold comfort for those worried about Indonesia's direction when it comes to human rights and social inequality. \"Prabowo's appointment sends a worrying signal that our leaders have forgotten the darkest days and the worst violations committed in the Suharto era. When Prabowo was at the helm of our special forces, activists disappeared and there were numerous allegations of torture and other ill-treatment,\" said Usman Hamid, Amnesty International Indonesia's executive director. Mr Subianto has consistently said that he only followed orders from his chiefs and that he was scapegoated by the military, including by former army general-turned-politician Wiranto, who also happened to be Mr Widodo's first-term security affairs minister Mr Widodo's strategy appears to favour compromise over confrontation - and that has resulted in a broad cabinet that involves several top generals whose potential bickering might create an enormous distraction to the president, Mr Connelly said. But the choice of Subianto could pave the way for the politicisation of the armed forces and police, a feature of Suharto's 32-year rule. As an example of this, there are regional leader posts currently held by active police officers, according to Titi Anggraini, director of Jakarta-based Association for Election and Democracy. Military encroachment into civil spaces was among the features rejected by the student movement of 1998 - the student-led demonstrations that led to the fall of Suharto. Mr Subianto did nothing to quell the violent protest to reject the elections result that erupted in his name. The fear remains that his approach to resolve any tensions that might arise with the president could be just as unorthodox - despite the smiles for selfies.",

Before cycling off, one calls out: \"Is there any way you can say 'hello' to the Queen for us?\" No matter young or old, there doesn't seem to be a soul outside the palace on the day of Prince Philip's death who doesn't feel deep sympathy and sorrow for the Queen. \"I don't think you have to be a rampant royalist to just feel really sad for the Queen,\" says 56-year-old Louise Simester, from Bedfordshire. She took her teenage daughters on a diversion from a trip to the Covid memorial wall to Buckingham Palace, via an unsuccessful hunt to buy flowers, to round off what's been a day of reflection for her family. Daisy, her 17-year-old daughter, who says she's \"no royalist\", has been surprised by just how shocked she was by the news. \"All my friends were quite shocked,\" she says. \"I've never experienced a royal death.\" For mum Louise, being outside the palace brought memories of Princess Diana's death in 1997 flooding back. \"I brought flowers for Diana. I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember people sobbing - I was crying myself,\" she recalls, clutching her hand to her chest. As we talk, a steady flow of families, friends, children, even a woman on roller blades, line up in the spring sunshine to lay white roses, yellow tulips and unopened lilies beside the gleaming black and gold palace fence. For every bouquet laid, the moment is captured by a vast bank of photographers, camera crews and bystanders with their own mobile phones straining against a thick cordon erected by police officers. Attached to the flowers are messages of gratitude for the duke's decades of service: \"You'll be missed by an entire nation. You were one of a kind,\" says one. Another acknowledges the sacrifices the duke made. \"Farewell Prince Philip - I have a huge amount of respect for a man that can swallow his pride to dedicate his life to supporting the Queen.\" The Royal Family did ask people to consider making a charity donation instead of leaving flowers and the government has urged people not to gather at the palace in breach of coronavirus regulations. However, that message had not reached everyone on Friday afternoon. Rhea Varma, from Pimlico, pulls up on her bike to lay a bouquet alongside a note saying \"Rest in Peace Duke, love the Varma family\". \"It's just super sad,\" she says. To her, the duke represented \"the kind of stability that's so old-fashioned, it's difficult to comprehend. \"He was a rock who brought integrity,\" she adds. Kalenza Jennings, 43, from Belsize Park, has brought white roses and carnations on behalf of her family after her husband texted her with the news. She's here with her best friend, who's also from Thailand. Prince Philip is their hero, they say. \"He's a good man and a faithful man,\" says Kalenza, a personal shopper at Heathrow. \"We love the Queen, and we want to say we're sorry she's lost the man she loves.\" Peter Chan, a student from Hong Kong, was exercising around Buckingham Palace when he heard the news. \"I really feel Prince Philip was a nice man and he saved the country,\" he says, after laying a bunch of white flowers bearing a note in his mother tongue together with an English translation: \"To commemorate Prince Philip's life on behalf of Hong Kong people in the UK.\" He reflects the last few months will have been especially hard for the Queen, with Prince Philip going into hospital and living through the pandemic. With a hand on his heart, the 26-year-old says from behind his face mask: \"I'm very sympathetic to the Queen. It's really hard to say how I feel, it's really from the heart.\" Adam Wharton-Ward, 36, was similarly affected and felt moved to \"rally round\" for the Queen's sake. \"He's been with her for 73 years. If it wasn't for him, who knows if she would have got through it,\" he says, moments after propping a bunch of lilies by the palace gates. The duke's appeal, he says, is he was \"almost normal... with his gaffes\". \"Now that normality has gone.\" Does he think the duke's death might signal change for the Royal Family's place in British life? \"I think it could be almost the other way. They don't need change,\" says Adam. Rhea Varma thinks otherwise: \"I think it might be the beginning of big change in our country. Without him, the Queen might not reign much longer.\" But an older woman, who's rushing past after paying her respects, says the duke's death is \"the beginning of the changing of the guard\" - but a change she's not happy to see any time soon. And, as the Sun begins to duck behind the cloud and crowds make their way to the Tube stations, they'll be more moments to reflect. Where adverts for shoes and banks stood only yesterday in London Underground stations, there are now poster-sized portraits of a younger duke in military uniform beside the dates 1921-2021.",

            "input": "By Chris BaraniukTechnology reporter This year, electricity use at Bitcoin mining data centres is likely to exceed that of all Iceland's homes, according to Johann Snorri Sigurbergsson. He said many potential customers were keen to get in on the act. \"If all these projects are realised, we won't have enough energy for it,\" he told the BBC. Mr Sigurbergsson's calculations were first reported by the Associated Press. Iceland has a small population, of around 340,000 people. But in recent years it has seen a marked increase in the number of new data centres, often built by firms wishing to tout green credentials. Nearly 100% of energy in Iceland comes from renewable sources. Bitcoin mining refers to the work done by computers connected to the global Bitcoin network. These computers solve complex mathematical problems - a process that in turn validates transactions between users of the crypto-currency. The computers that do this validation work receive small Bitcoin rewards for their trouble, making it a lucrative exercise, especially when done at a large scale. 'Exponential growth' \"What we're seeing now is... you can almost call it exponential growth, I think, in the [energy] consumption of data centres,\" said Mr Sigurbergsson. He added that he expects Bitcoin mining operations will use around 840 gigawatt hours of electricity to supply data centre computers and cooling systems, for example. He estimated that the county's homes, in contrast, use around 700 gigawatt hours every year. \"I don't see it stopping quite yet,\" added Mr Sigurbergsson, referring to data centre projects. \"I'm getting a lot of calls, visits from potential investors or companies wanting to build data centres in Iceland.\" He also said that there are so many proposed data centres that it wouldn't be possible to supply all of them. He added that his firm was mostly interested in dealing with companies that were willing to commit to long-term contracts of a few years or more. If Iceland took on all of the proposed Bitcoin mining ventures, there simply wouldn't be enough electricity to supply them all, he added. The crypto-currency mining industry in Iceland was recently given a boost thanks to the launch of The Moonlite Project - a large data centre where various crypto-currencies, including Bitcoin, will be mined. It is set to open later this year and will have an initial capacity of 15 megawatts, though this is expected to increase in the future. Some have questioned how beneficial the rise of the crypto-currency mining will be to Iceland. Smari McCarthy, a member of the Icelandic parliament for the Pirate Party, tweeted: \"Cryptocurrency mining requires almost no staff, very little in capital investments, and mostly leaves no taxes either. \"The value to Iceland... is virtually zero.\" He also clarified previous reports that quoted him as saying he was keen to tax Bitcoin mining firms. It has previously been reported that the electricity demand of the world's total combined Bitcoin mining operations may now exceed the energy use of the Republic of Ireland, though this calculation may not be entirely accurate. But as crypto-currencies rise in popularity, mining operations certainly continue to use more and more resources - recent analysis of European energy use in 2017 by campaign group Sandbag noted that Bitcoin mining was contributing to additional power demand in the technology sector.",

            "input": "By Hannah Richardson BBC News, ATL conference in Manchester ATL teachers' union leader, Mary Bousted said teachers were concerned about the size of portions, quality and choice of dinners available. A snap poll of 503 teachers claimed many schools are charging more for meals, some rising by £100 a year. School food is subject to stringent nutritional guidelines. The survey results were released at the annual ATL conference in Manchester, where teachers debated the take-up of free school meals and their importance. The poll also suggested a rise in the number of children on free school meals, which are offered to those from families on benefit, with a third of teachers surveyed saying they had seen a rise in the past five years. Most blamed the economic downturn and rising unemployment. The conference heard claims of an increasing number of children becoming eligible for free school meals. The ATL's general secretary Mary Bousted said at a time when more children were eligible for free school meals because of rising poverty, it was even more important that school meals were of good quality and size. \"But teachers are raising issues about the quantity of the food that children get, about the choice and the quality. Some teachers are saying that children don't get enough food,\" she said. \"I think it's absolutely the case that children are going hungry and we all know what hunger does to young people's ability to learn.\" Dr Bousted also called for more inspection of catering services to ensure that meals were of a good standard and size. But about one in 10 respondents said pupils on free school meals did not actually eat school food, with 44% saying their children did not like them and 41% saying their children preferred to bring their own. Chips and pasta On quality, one primary school teacher said: \"There are times that meals are good but others when they are most unappetising. There are occasions when the portion size is very small and there have been times when portions have run out.\" A secondary teacher said: \"There seems to be a lot of carbohydrates on offer each day. There are usually chips, pasta and rice available, while vegetables and salad don't seem to be on offer. As the meals are cooked in-house, the choice is limited to what our cook is able to make in large quantities.\" On cost, 60% said the price of meals charged to students in their school or college were value for money but about a third (34%) did not. One reception teacher, from Bradford, said: \"The younger children pay the same price but get much less [food] than the older ones. Also they do not get the choice as this is also saved for the older ones.\" Another member working in the early years sector echoed this sentiment, saying: \"The young children often get very small portions and very limited choice. Children who come with packed lunches eat a lot more at lunchtime.\" One teacher from Forest Hill Primary School, Kim Knappett, told the conference that many children would go hungry during the Easter holidays. She said parents who had as little as one pound to spend on food were not spending it on items of nutritional value but often spent it on chips or doughnuts. School projects manager at the Jamie Oliver Foundation, Michelle Smith, said many studies had proved that a nutritious lunch was vital for a child's concentration, behaviour and chance of achieving. A School Food Trust spokesman said: \"School meals need to be affordable for families. Our research proves that school food is particularly sensitive to changes in price and in these tough financial times, access to decent food at school for children has never been so important. Schools need support to build their market, run their catering efficiently and to deal with rising costs. \"Every child's appetite is different so portion sizes aren't set nationally - but cooks do get to know their pupils, and should make sure they are getting a portion that's approriate for them.\"",

Christmas run-up The leaders also said they did not believe the Chancellor's recent business package, where workers at firms forced to shut would get two-thirds of their wages paid for by the government, to be sufficient.

It said: \"Cost pressures, such as staff pay costs, the growing costs of drugs and other health technologies and rising pension costs, exacerbate this tight financial situation. \"At the same time, the demands on the NHS are increasing as a result of demographic change, particularly the growing population of elderly and very elderly people; the number of people with long-term health conditions; and people's rising expectations of healthcare.\" The report said the NHS had made good progress in a number of areas, including improving outcomes for people with cancer or heart disease and reducing healthcare-associated infections. But it said it would be \"challenging\" for the NHS to make the scale of changes required to meet the Scottish government's \"ambitious\" vision for health and social care, which aimed to enable everyone to live longer, healthier lives at home or in a homely setting by 2020. The report said: \"Progress has been slow and more significant change is needed to move more care into the community. \"The NHS will not be able to continue to provide services in the way it currently does. Change on this scale will be challenging at the same time as NHS boards are expected to meet demanding targets for hospital care and when budgets are tightening.\" Audit Scotland also highlighted the fact the NHS in Scotland had not met waiting time targets, and said it may not be able to meet them in future. A guarantee to treat patients within 12 weeks has never been met, and only three out of nine other key waiting targets were achieved by all health boards. 'Not sustainable' The report said the NHS may have to focus on other targets in order to cope with the pressures of an ageing population. Overall, NHS boards in Scotland delivered a small surplus of £23.4m against an overall budget of £11.1bn. But although all boards met their financial targets, Highland, Orkney, Tayside and NHS 24 required financial bail-outs from the Scottish government in order to break even, while a further five had to rely on high levels of non-recurring savings. After inflation is taken into account, the health budget will reduce by 0.9% over the next two years. Health boards, which fund the majority of health services for people, will see a small increase in their budgets of 1.1% but this will be offset by the rising costs of healthcare. The report points out health service costs have risen by an average of 3.6% a year, compared to general inflation at 2% a year. Responding to the report, Mr Neil said protecting front-line health services was an \"absolute priority\" for the Scottish government. 'Changing needs' He added: \"This report highlights the pressures the NHS is facing as it continues to treat more people than ever before, who have more long term conditions. Audit Scotland rightly notes that the Scottish government recognises these issues and has set out a long-term vision for the NHS. \"But we need to make sure our plan develops to meet the changing needs of the people of Scotland and delivers our overall objectives of being a top modern healthcare service that provides quality care, improves the health of the Scottish public and tackles inequalities. \"By evolving the long-term plan for NHS Scotland, this government will ensure that Scotland continues to have an NHS that it can be proud of today and in the future.\" Dr Peter Bennie, chairman of the BMA in Scotland, said: \"An honest, public debate about what needs to change to make the NHS sustainable in the long-term is urgently required and politicians must have the confidence and determination to make the difficult and perhaps unpopular decisions that may follow.\" Theresa Fyffe, director of the Royal College on Nursing in Scotland, said: \"When patient care suffers because health boards are trying to make ends meet, it's obvious something is going wrong. \"People are being moved from ward to inappropriate ward because of a lack of space or shortage of care available at home or are waiting longer for treatment and turning to A&E just to gain access to the healthcare they need. On top of this, vacancy rates across the NHS are on the rise. \"The Scottish government needs to look at the consequences of requiring health boards to meet financial targets on an annual basis and allow them to take a more long term approach which doesn't put at risk standards in patient care.\"",

Council workers said they advised the bus driver not to continue and tried to flag him down when he did. Driver Jon Ashman claimed he had been told the road was \"passable with care\". He told BBC Wales workers had not advised him to avoid the A487 in Newgale, which has been closed since high tides on Saturday and will remain so for the next few days. He said: \"I was told it was passable with care. There's a fair bit of water and a few stones on the road but nothing massive until we were literally hit by a wave which picked the front of the bus up and shunted it off the road.\" Mr Ashman said they were hit by three waves in total, adding: \"It's not something I want to go through in the near future.\" He said of council claims that staff tried to attract his attention to stop him driving along the road once he began: \"I don't believe that to be the case. I didn't see anyone there. \"Ultimately I'm not going to put myself or passengers at risk. It's not in my best interest. I'm paid to get people from A to B safely and that's what I endeavour to do.\" Pembrokeshire council said the road was in the process of being closed at the time of the incident. In a statement, the council said workers had started to direct traffic to use an alternative safe route avoiding the Newgale road. The bus driver had been told of the situation, according to the council. The statement continued: \"The driver chose to continue his journey along the main road. \"A council operative followed the bus in his own car equipped with a flashing orange beacon on the roof. \"He was also flashing his headlights in an attempt to stop the bus but was unsuccessful. \"A member of the public on the bridge at the bottom of Pen-y-Cwm Hill also tried to flag the bus down with a torch but he too was unsuccessful. \"The council has provided information to the police in relation to their investigation into the incident.\" Dyfed-Powys Police said officers were called to the Newgale incident just after 19:00 GMT. \"Weather conditions at the scene were severe and additional support was provided by the coastguard and Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service,\" the force said in a statement. \"Due to the location of the vehicle and the flooding at the scene, passengers were assisted from the vehicle to an awaiting replacement bus. No-one was injured.\" Elsewhere, a train van was blown on its side at Porthmadog, Gwynedd, at around midnight on Sunday. North Wales Police said the van, which was parked on the Cob, posed no risk to traffic. Ffestiniog and Welsh Highland Railways were planning to put the vehicle upright on Monday. Flood warnings Clearance work has begun along other parts of the Welsh coast after strong winds and high tides at the weekend. The Met Office has warned of more stormy weather to come. There was one flood warning and seven flood alerts left in force in Wales by Monday afternoon, down from 26 warnings at the start of the day, and a yellow warning of heavy rain across south and west Wales. There were yellow warnings of rain for the southern coast of Wales on Monday and the southern half of Wales on Tuesday and Wednesday. The Met Office also warned of gusts of up to 60mph hitting the west coast of Wales on Monday and gales reaching 70mph on Tuesday night and Wednesday morning. A Met Office spokesman said: \"Given the additional rain associated with this system there is a risk of further flooding, particularly in areas already affected so far this winter.\" Natural Resources Wales said emergency repair work had begun in Fairbourne, Gwynedd, after the sea wall was damaged. Contractors were building an access road to the site in order to bring in rocks to shore up the defences. Meanwhile, an operation to clean up Aberystwyth promenade of debris and shingle caused by Saturday's high tides began on Monday. Alun Williams, Ceredigion council's cabinet member for transport, waste and carbon management, said: \"We are really pleased that our work to bolster the sea defences on Aberystywth promenade has resulted in minimal damage. \"We aim to clear the promenade of shale in the next few days.\" A council spokeswoman said Marine Terrace had reopened to traffic late on Monday afternoon and South Marine would re-open on Tuesday. RNLI personnel are able to access the area, she added. The repair work already carried out on the promenade following storm damage in January remained intact, she added. \"The little shingle deposited on the promenade is not much more than a normal high spring might deposit,\" she added. About 600 university students living on the seafront were either re-housed or went home or to another part of the UK for the weekend. An Aberystwyth University spokesman said: \"There was some minor damage to seafront residences but no damage to any student bedrooms.\" Students have now been told they can return to their accommodation. In Pembrokeshire, the road between Puncheston and Wolfscastle has been closed due to a tree falling on the road. The seafront in Gelliswick Bay in Milford Haven should reopen on Monday afternoon. In the village of Dale, a small section of road in front of the boat yard and Griffin Inn remains closed, with a clean-up of the road at the Gann and Mullock Bridge also underway. There was some minor flooding in Haverfordwest and Fishguard.",

It comes after Tower Hamlets local authority, in London, raised concerns. Last month, three girls from an east London school travelled to Syria, where it is feared they joined Islamic State. Making the order, Mr Justice Hayden directed that the girls were not identified, and also ordered the removal of the passports of a number of adults involved in their care. There was evidence to suggest family members in the case had not been full and frank with social services, the judge said, and that the girls were becoming more radicalised. \"It seems to me that that must have been known to the parents and they deliberately did not share it with the authorities who were keen to protect these vulnerable young girls,\" Mr Justice Hayden added. Passports seized He said he made the order following evidence that, in at least one other case, young girls had travelled on passports belonging to family members. Police believe Shamima Begum and Amira Abase, both 15, and Kadiza Sultana, 16 - who all left their London homes last month - are now in Syria. Shamima used the passport of her 17-year-old sister to leave the UK, police have said. The three girls were friends and pupils at Bethnal Green Academy, based in the London borough of Tower Hamlets. A fourth girl from the same school, Sharmeena Begum, 15, from Bethnal Green, left about two months before the three girls. All four teenagers are thought to be in Raqqa - the Syrian city where IS has its headquarters. 'Grave' risk A 16-year-old boy whose two elder brothers were killed fighting in Syria's civil war was barred from travelling abroad at a hearing on Tuesday. The teenager was also made a ward of court following an application from Brighton and Hove City Council. Mr Justice Hayden - who also ruled on the earlier case - said the risk to teenagers travelling to Syria was \"as grave as it can be\". \"As I said early this week in another case, and I repeat it in this, sometimes the law has to intervene to protect these young people, ultimately from themselves. \"Therefore I am satisfied there is evidence of sufficient cogency and the evaluation of risk is such as to justify the orders sought.\" A spokesman for Tower Hamlets Council, which raised concerns about the girls, said: \"We have not taken this step lightly but we came to the conclusion that it was in the best interests of the young people involved to take this course of action.\"",

            "input": "It emerged last month that checks had been put on hold so officials could deal with queues at passport control. Critics say efforts to tackle illegal immigration were effectively neglected. But Border Force boss Sir Charles Montgomery told MPs a queue of vehicles was itself a security threat as it was vulnerable to \"clandestine\" migrants. According to a National Audit Office report published last month, officers were ordered on three successive days to switch from searching for contraband and illegal stowaways to checking passports to prevent big queues building up at Calais and other entry points, ahead of last year's Olympic games. 'Clear rationale' Freight searches were also suspended due to understaffing and to allow staff to have meal breaks, although vehicles continued to be searched by French officials and sniffer dogs used by the Border Force. Sir Charles, a former senior Royal Navy officer who became Border Force boss in March, told the Public Accounts Committee that checks had not been totally abandoned. But he said it was \"absolutely right\" to shift the resources at the Border Force's disposal where necessary to prioritise \"traffic flows\" at points of entry. \"There is a very clear rationale for this and it is driven by the primary objective of the Border Force which is national security. The flows of traffic approaching Calais are themselves important for security. \"The checks and controls can create backlogs of stationary traffic of up to three miles if not properly managed. \"Those queues are a primary source of security concern because stationary traffic - particularly soft-sided traffic - are a primary target for the clandestines trying to get through the border.\" Labour MP Margaret Hodge, who chairs the cross-party committee, questioned why the decision had only come to light in the watchdog's report and why officials had not disclosed what was happening earlier. The Border Force did \"not want to put into the public domain the possibility or probability at any given time of checks having been suspended\", Sir Charles said. But Mrs Hodge replied: \"If I may say so, it is not putting it in the public domain which is wrong, it is the action of suspending it which is wrong... it is the action, not the reporting of the action, which is vital.\" Manpower The National Audit Office has suggested a lack of manpower was to blame for resources having to be juggled. The number of full-time border staff fell from 8,023 to 7,527 between April 2010 and March 2012. But since separating from the Border Agency, the agency's budget has increased and funding is in place to increase staff numbers to 8,477 by next year. The Border Force was brought under the direct control of the Home Office in 2011, when the UK Border Agency was abolished following a row over the relaxation of passport checks at Heathrow without the authorisation of ministers. Sir Charles told MPs that coach parties of schoolchildren had been subject to less formal checks at Calais this summer under a pilot scheme to reduce delays, the results of which were now being evaluated. The children had not been required to disembark and face-to-face checks had been carried out on the vehicle, he said. He stressed the initiative had been pre-authorised by the Home Office and followed a risk-based analysis.",

But problems with scaffolding have forced a review and the planned work has been suspended. Officials said various options were being considered, including dismantling the bridge for repairs elsewhere. The iron bridge, which dates from 1887, links the promenade in Matlock Bath, Derbyshire, to a series of footpaths called the Lovers' Walks. Concerns had been raised about its condition, with the parish council contacting Derbyshire Dales District Council asking for repairs. In April the district council said contractors had been appointed to renovate the structure using the \"shot blasting\" technique. Work was due to start at the end of May and finish in time for the bridge to be reopened for the Matlock Bath Illuminations beginning at the end of August. A council spokesman said: \"The Environment Agency wanted assurances the required scaffolding could be removed in the event of flooding. \"This was not practical so we have had to accept the project cannot go forward in this form and we will have to re-tender at some point in 2014. \"The repairs will have to take a different form and could even include taking the bridge away.\" The district council's Director of Planning and Housing Services, Paul Wilson, said: \"Although there are no health and safety issues associated with keeping the bridge open in its current state while we re-tender the contract, we are naturally disappointed we have been forced to delay the restoration of such an important architectural feature.\" The project would also return the bridge to its original mid-green Victorian colour scheme.",

In recent years, the festival had been scaled back to 10 nights, with last year's line-up including The 1975, Britney Spears and Chance The Rapper. Apple has not explained why the festival has come to an end. However, it remains heavily involved with live music, recently sponsoring Drake's Summer Sixteen tour, and staging shows by Skepta, Arcade Fire and Lana Del Rey, some of which were streamed on its Apple Music app. The company has also started making original content - including a standalone Carpool Karaoke series and a documentary strand called Behind The Album, which has so far featured Haim and Harry Styles. The Apple Music festival started out as the iTunes festival, but was rebranded with the Apple Music badge after the company's streaming service launched in 2015. It had taken place at London's ICA and Koko nightclub before settling into its residency at Camden's Roundhouse. Although it attracted huge stars to London, the concerts often came in for criticism because the audience, who got in for free, were less enthusiastic than regular concert-goers. In 2013, Alex Turner implored the audience to \"wake up\" during Arctic Monkeys' headline set, dedicating the song Snap Out Of it to them.

The cash will be spent developing machines that carry out a billion billion calculations per second. The world's current fastest supercomputers are about a thousand times slower than this target. The Commission said the machines would boost future industrial prosperity and pointed to existing machines that had helped car makers speed up production. \"Supercomputers are the engine to power the digital economy,\" said Andrus Ansip, EC vice-president for the digital single market. \"It is a tough race and today the EU is lagging behind.\" Research boost In a statement laying out its plans, the Commission said initial work would concentrate on developing machines that match the computational capacities of the world's most powerful machines. Many of these operate in the so-called petascale range which means they can carry out about a thousand trillion calculations per second. Each calculation is known as a floating point operation or flop. China's Sunway TaihuLight is the world's speediest supercomputer and, at peak performance, can hit 93 petaflops. The four computers that result from this first phase will be made available to businesses and research groups across Europe, said the Commission. They could help prevent disasters, tackle cyber-crime and improve healthcare, it said. Expertise built up in the first phase would help Europe go beyond petaflops for the second stage of its research project and aims, by 2023, to make a machine that can breach the exaflop barrier. China dominates the world supercomputer rankings and currently has 202 machines in the Top 500 list of processing powerhouses. The US has 143 machines in that list and Europe 93.

But bodies representing transplant patients say those on the waiting list, or who have had surgery in the past three months, should keep shielding. The Welsh Government said those patients should consult their doctor. Fiona Loud, Kidney Care UK's chief executive, said: \"People who continue to be clinically vulnerable deserve all the protection they can get from the government and people who have been lucky enough to have a transplant, they need to continue to shield. \"They need to completely self-isolate to look after that precious kidney and the chance they've been given.\" Coronavirus has hit transplant patients hard. At Wales' only unit in Cardiff, no transplants at all took place between 12 March and 29 June. Although some operations are now proceeding, older patients are still not currently on the active list. Sian Griffin, a consultant nephrologist - someone who specialises in kidneys - at University Hospital of Wales, said it was hoped operation numbers would soon return to normal, having reopened the transplant unit six weeks ago \"in a staged fashion.\" Changes had been made to minimise the risk of contracting coronavirus, she said. \"We are hoping to get everyone back on to the list soon but there's no obligation. \"If someone would prefer to keep going with their treatment, they can wait until we know what's happening with the virus in the next year or two before deciding to proceed.\" Three weeks ago, Carwyn Jones from Pont Sian, Ceredigion, got the call to travel to University Hospital Wales as there was a potential donor for the double transplant he needs. But someone on the ward tested positive for Covid-19 and the unit was closed, while the organs Mr Jones was due to receive were given to another patient. \"It has been tough. Having to stay in when I'm used to going out, seeing friends and family or going to work. But I have to do it for my health,\" said the 33-year-old. A Welsh Government spokesman said: \"Patients awaiting or who have received transplants, and are concerned about ending shielding, should consult their clinician or transplant team for advice.\"",

Trainee teachers in England can get up to £32,000 in bursaries and extra pay, with lower qualifications needed. The Welsh Government said it offered students up to £25,000 to become Welsh-medium teachers. The issue came up at a meeting to discuss teacher sickness rates and the availability of suitable cover in one of the nation's Welsh-speaking heartlands, according to the Local Democracy Reporting Service. Mr Williams was concerned that little over a third of teachers registered with the Education Workforce Council Wales were listed as speaking Welsh, let alone able to teach in Welsh. He believed many prospective teachers were being lost because of greater rewards over the border. \"If a teacher wants to study at Bangor [University] they receive a certain levy, but if they go to England they receive much more,\" he said. \"So the incentive isn't there to encourage young people to study to become teachers through the medium of Welsh in Wales. \"That works against us as we try to attract more people to the profession. \"It's a real challenge and it's a message we've made clear to the Welsh Government.\" In Wales, all prospective teacher training applicants must possess a GCSE B grade in Welsh or English and maths, with an additional C grade in science for primary school teachers. However, the requirements are not as strict for English universities. A Welsh Government spokesman said action was being taken to tackle the issue. \"There are generous financial incentives available for students to train to become Welsh-medium teachers, with up to £25,000 for those completing their Initial Teacher Education and going on to teach in Welsh,\" he said.",

It said the upgrade would allow it to fly at night and in cloud, increase its range and accommodate a broader range of patient categories. The SCAA will now consult on the best helicopter for the job. The charity works in partnership with other services to deliver paramedics to emergency scenes and airlift casualties to hospital.

The notes contain the troops' messages of thanks for Christmas parcels sent to the trenches by people of the parish. The letters were discovered almost a century later in a former bishop's residence in the Republic of Ireland. The documents give a personal insight into trench warfare, as the soldiers battled against the cold, the mud and separation from their families back in Belfast. The Church of Ireland has commissioned a new documentary, The Boys from East Belfast, which details the attempts to find out more about the men who wrote the letters. The correspondence was addressed to the soldiers' former parish rector, Dr Arthur Barton, who later went on to become Archbishop of Dublin. They were found about two years ago, in the basement of Kilmore See House, County Cavan, where Dr Barton lived during his tenure as Bishop of Kilmore. The discovery was made by Church of Ireland archivist, Dr Susan Hood, as she helped to clear the property before it was put on the market. \"The role of the archivist is to keep records safe,\" Dr Hood told BBC Radio Ulster. \"There was a lot of material, but I do remember on particular tea chest in the basement, removing stuff from it and wondering why there was a lot about Belfast in it.\" Dr Hood took the letters back to the Representative Church Body (RCB) library in Dublin, and found out that Dr Barton had been appointed rector at St Mark's, Dundela in 1914, the year the war began. She said the letters showed the soldiers were thinking about their families back in Belfast, and hopes of getting back to Dundela were \"keeping them going\". \"We learn from them conditions are awful, the weather is bad, the guys are really reflecting on what they're going through, so we get a sense about the war,\" Dr Hood said. \"We also get a sense about what is going on at home, and in this way Barton is a very special link for them, because some of them are thanking him for looking after their wives and their families, in a pastoral sense.\" The \"comfort parcels\" contained items such as socks and mittens, and took several weeks to reach the troops on the Western Front. It is believed that all 10 soldiers survived the war, and documentary features research carried out by Jason Burke, from the Great War Project East Belfast, who tried to find out what happened to them when they came home. \"For me, the interesting thing about the Great War is about the men themselves, and their social backgrounds, rather than military history,\" Mr Burke told BBC Radio Ulster. \"We've unearthed some interesting things about one or two of the men who were involved in these letters.\" Mr Burke found out that although Royal Irish Rifles soldier William John Sterrett survived World War One, he was later listed as a civilian casualty of World War Two. Mr Sterrett served as a sergeant with the Home Guard during the Second World War, but was killed during the Belfast Blitz in May, 1941. \"The Germans eventually caught up with him,\" Mr Burke said. \"He came through The Battle of Cambrai, where 95,000 people perished, and then sadly dies on his own doorstep.\" The film was shown to the public at St Mark's church, Dundela, on Monday night, where the letters have been put on display for remembrance week. From 11 November, the documentary will be available to view on the Church of Ireland website.",

Firefighters say without their help, people can attempt dangerous rescues themselves. But the Taxpayers' Alliance said it was not an efficient use of public money. Among the more unusual rescues the service was called to a puppy stuck in the mechanism of a recliner sofa chair, a cat trapped in a charity clothes bank and a horse that disappeared down a mineshaft. Last year Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue extracted an 8ft boa constrictor called Billy from a gas fireplace, while in Darlington two pet rats were rescued from a drainage pipe and a cat was removed from the extractor fan of a pizza shop. In rural counties farm animal rescues were not uncommon. In the last three years Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue said it had attended to many large animals stuck in mud, ditches or rivers. In Tyne and Wear a horse was rescued after becoming trapped in the metal framework of a quad bike trailer. But for many fire services, cats still top the list of the species needing rescuing most frequently, often because they get stuck in trees. All UK fire services responded to The Jeremy Vine Show's request for information on animal rescues. Of these, 17 provided estimated costs. They are estimated to have cost £2m a year across the UK between 2014 and 2016. John O'Connell, chief executive of the campaign group the Taxpayers' Alliance, said: \"Something is clearly awry if they can spend so much of their time and taxpayers' money rescuing these animals from such 'peril'. \"Budgets are tight in all areas of the public sector and in future they need to make sure they are using their resources to maximum efficiency.\" A spokesperson from Lancashire Fire and Rescue said: \"Our firefighters are paid a salary and putting a financial cost on an incident turn-out is misleading. \"No animal rescue would take those resources away from the rescue of a person, or to save a house from burning down.\" A statement from the Kent service said: \"If we didn't attend we know from past experience that members of the public could be injured or put themselves into dangerous situations (and subsequently need rescuing) while attempting to rescue the animal themselves.\"",

            "input": "By Steven BrocklehurstBBC Scotland news website \"They were adorable. Five cute guys at once. That's the story of rock n roll,\" says US journalist Danny Fields. \"The invention of boy bands became an industry thanks to the Bay City Rollers.\" As the editor of 16, an influential American teen magazine, Fields was part of a press junket to Scotland in the summer of 1975 to witness the phenomenon that was driving teenage girls in the UK wild. Fields says watching the scenes on the streets of Glasgow was like witnessing the triumphant return of conquering heroes in an epic movie. \"It was like Ben Hur except it was all these girls wearing ugly pants,\" he told the BBC Scotland documentary Rollermania: The Biggest boy band in the world. Music publicist Carol Strauss Klenfner, who organised the press trip, says: \"It was just crazy, 12-year-olds and 14-year-olds all dressed up in Roller garb, with that look in their eye, of love. It was young love personified. \"They were so young and so fresh-faced. They were these wonderful Scottish fair complexions with rosy cheeks. They were wild-eyed and they could sure scream loud.\" Fields and Strauss Klenfner were witnessing the high-point of Rollermania in the UK, with number one singles, sell-outs tours, the band's own TV show and thousands of hysterical tartan-clad teenage fans screaming at them wherever they went. But getting to that point had not been easy. It had been nine years since two Edinburgh brothers - Alan and Derek Longmuir - had formed a band with their school mates. The Saxons decided they wanted a more American-sounding name and stuck a pin in a map of the US, landing in Bay City, Michigan. Personnel changes and the arrival of local pop promoter Tam Paton as their manager drove the band on as they gathered a loyal following around Edinburgh. By 1971, Paton had landed the Rollers a deal with Bell records and they had a hit single, \"Keep on Dancing\", which crept up the charts to number nine. False dawn Alan Longmuir says: \"It was brilliant. We were just young guys. I was a plumber to-trade, my brother was a joiner, Nobby, the singer, was a joiner.\" But it was a false dawn and their next two singles failed to make the charts. Paton made changes to the line-up and to the band's look but by the end of 1972 the Rollers were starting to look like a one-hit wonder. Bell Records brought in hit-makers Phil Coulter and Bill Martin, who had written Britain's first Eurovision Song Contest winner, Puppet on a String, for Sandy Shaw in 1967. Martin, who was from Govan, says: \"I was always looking for a Scottish band and I thought they were quite special. Quite different from any other pop group.\" Coulter was impressed by the band's \"unshakeable\" belief they would be superstars but he says the reality was they could hardly tune their own guitars. He insisted session musicians were used to lay down the tracks in the studio because it would take too long to get the right sound from the band. As they worked on the new sound, there were more changes in the band's line-up with Les McKeown brought in to replace Nobby Clark as the lead singer. Another new face was 16-year-old Stuart Wood. He says: \"I was gobsmacked. I'd only been playing guitar just over a year and probably knew about five or six chords.\" With the classic line-up in place, and Bill and Phil on board, the hits began to come. Remember (Sha La La La) got to number six in early 1974 but it was Shang-a-Lang that kick-started Rollermania. Producer Bill Martin says: \"It was phenomenal. It just took off like a rocket.\" Stuart Wood says: \"From not having anyone screaming to having thousands of people screaming at you was pretty quick.\" \"The noise was colossal,\" says Martin. \"They were a sensation.\" According to Coulter the big difference was the age of the girls buying the records and screaming at the band. They were not 16 or 17 but instead were much younger. \"This was whole new thing,\" he says. \"That was the gap in the market.\" At the end of 1974, their debut album - Rolling - was at number one but the Rollers were not happy. Coulter says the band wanted to be more hands-on, writing their songs and playing on their own tracks. He refused and the band demanded a new producer. Phil Wainman was given the task of keeping the hits coming but the Rollers had to play and sing on the records. \"That was quite a task,\" he says. But it was one he was equal to and in early 1975 Bye Bye Baby went to number one and stayed there for six weeks. Wainman says: \"It was selling 75,000 a day. You can have a hit these days with just 20,000 records.\" The next single \"Give a little love\" also went to number one and Rollermania took over the country. The band even had their own TV show. At the height of the mania the Rollers undertook their biggest UK tour to-date. \"That was a crazy tour,\" says McKeown. \"We would go on and the police would make us stop because they just could not control the crowd.\" The strain of constant touring was compounded when, on a rare visit home to Edinburgh, McKeown ran over and killed a 76-year-old woman. He says: \"I can remember just being in complete shock. I don't know how long it took me to come out of that shock. \"In retrospect I should have dealt with the issue in a much more comprehensive way.\" The day after the accident McKeown rejoined the tour. Stage invasion The Rollers management had no time to give McKeown a chance to deal with the incident, they were already planning the next stage of their global domination by breaking them in America. Music mogul Clive Davis of Arista Records picked \"Saturday Night\" as their first single in the US, a Bill and Phil production that had failed to chart in the UK in 1973. On 20 September 1975, the Rollers performed at London Weekend Television and were beamed by satellite into the homes of 30 million unsuspecting Americans. Their performance ended with a stage invasion that left Woody and Les in hospital. Ten days later the Rollers were on their way to America. Details of their flight arrival were leaked to fans so they got a rapturous reception as they touched down. Phil Wainman says: \"I went out there and witnessed this unbelievable happening at JFK. \"It was like the Beatles all over again. In fact it might have been bigger.\" By January 1976, Saturday Night had climbed to the top of the US Billboard chart. According to Bill Martin it sold 12 million records. Despite success around the world, the cracks were showing and founder member Alan Longmuir quit the band in April 1976. He says: \"I was getting depressed. I just couldn't take it any more.\" New members came and went and the hits started to slow. Ripped off The band sold 120 million records and conquered the UK, US, Australia and Japan but music journalist Caroline Sullivan says that by late 1977 they had declined in popularity quite a bit. \"There is obviously a sell-by date for all boy bands and the Rollers were reaching theirs. \"They had a really good run. The fans were growing up and The Rollers themselves were obviously completely fed up with it.\" The band finally imploded when McKeown left in 1978 and bitter battles over the money they should have been paid dragged on for years. Derek Longmuir says: \"We were definitely ripped off but there was a big element of naivety as well. \"People would come along and tell you, 'you guys just concentrate on the music and we'll do the business stuff' and you just accepted that.\" Bill Martin says: \"I have no qualms about saying about Tam Paton that he was a disgrace. He deserved to die a broken man because those wee boys should have had everything.\" Rollermania: Britain's biggest boy band is on BBC One Scotland at 21:00 on Monday 14 September.",

They have a wing span of up to 5ft (1.5m) and experts at the Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust said they faced the greatest risk of extinction. Very little forest remains in the islands of the Comoros where the bats live. The first Livingstone's bats arrived at Durrell in 1992. The species, who live on the steep forested slopes of the Comoros islands, had never been kept in captivity before.

Priti Patel, Conservative MP for Witham, said: \"Scandal and incompetence [at the EEAS] has put lives at risk.\" EEAS said the capability of the trust's board members was under review and it had started to improve response times. Earlier in the month, an independent report said the board's leadership \"just isn't strong enough\" to take the service forward. Dr Anthony Marsh, chief executive of the West Midlands Ambulance Service, was commissioned to write the report because of concerns over the trust's performance. In March, the trust was ordered to improve by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) after failing to meet its care and welfare target. Dr Marsh's report said there was a lack of accountability throughout the organisation and made 24 specific recommendations, including cutting back on management to pay for more emergency crews. 'Worrying culture' In the Westminster Hall debate, Ms Patel said: \"The board has failed to demonstrate the high level of expertise, the skills and the devotion that is required in the boardroom.\" Therese Coffey, Conservative MP for Suffolk Coastal, said: \"Until these non-executive directors go we will not have confidence in the leadership of the trust to make a difference.\" Ms Soubry said it was not her job to call for resignations, but said she was concerned that this organisation seemed to be another example of a \"worrying culture in the NHS\". \"This 'mates' culture - where the priority is to protect your mates, systems and procedures - is opposed to the absolute priority to protect your patient,\" she said. A spokesman for the EEAS said new chairman Dr Geoff Harris, who has been in post for a month, was reviewing the capability and capacity of board leadership at the trust. \"This will be done in a managed way, but there will be changes to the board as it is reconstituted,\" he said. \"The trust published its turnaround plan in April. There are some early signs of improvement such as better response times and reduced sickness absence. However, there is still much work to be done.\" The EEAS covers Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Essex, Hertfordshire, Norfolk and Suffolk.",

Ford said the film will show how \"the relationships between him and other characters have developed off-screen\". And he hinted that fans will see \"new aspects\" to Han Solo's personality. Ford and director JJ Abrams spoke to BBC News entertainment correspondent Lizo Mzimba about the film. HARRISON FORD Lizo Mzimba: What was it about the way Han Solo was written in this film that convinced you it was right to come back? Harrison Ford: I think it mostly lay in the telling of the stories of his relationships with other characters in the story. And the part he plays in the progression of the story, mostly through his relationships with the new young actors - Daisy Ridley and John Boyega principally in this new story. And it had to do with the opportunity to work with my friend JJ Abrams, whose work I have admired for a long time. LM: How much did you put nostalgia to one side and just concentrate on playing the role? HF: Completely. I don't think nostalgia is very useful to me. There is a story to be told, there's behaviour to create or to bring to the screen that will help tell that story, and nostalgia is just not really a big part of my emotional package anyway. LM: So it was easy when you met Chewbacca for the first time or walked onto the Millennium Falcon to put any emotion to one side and concentrate on being Han Solo and again after all these years? HF: Yeah, you're there to bring some aspect of truth or recognisability to the moment for the audience. LM: What is it about the character that has made him such a favourite over the decades, and how has he changed in this film? HF: Each of the characters has a part to play, and there are people in the audience for each of the characters. Princess Leia has people that relate to her more strongly than other characters. The same with Luke Skywalker. Of the character that I play, who had a kind of ironic distance from the mythology, I think many people identified with that point of view, and so embraced the character of Han Solo. This new opportunity to play the character again recognises a passage of time, and there are indications in the film about how he came to develop, how the relationships between him and other characters have developed off-screen and so it adds some degree of interest and there are new aspects of his nature, perhaps, which we'll see. JJ ABRAMS LM: When you started this project, you had a vision you wanted to put on screen and also a level of anxiety. How close to your original vision do you think you've got to, and how's the anxiety been? JJ Abrams: It's a lot of anxiety. It's an insane amount of pressure. But I will say that it is offset by the work that everyone has done. The amazing work that has - to answer the first question - not just helped realise a vision I had at the beginning of this process, but elevated it enormously and exceeded all expectations. Every day as it gets closer to this movie coming out, I'm more and more excited for people to see the work this cast has done - the new and the established - and the amazing vision effects, the music that John Williams wrote. The work is the thing that has been, if anything, a salve for the anxiety. LM: We're a few days away from release, yet so little is known about the movie. How hard has it been keeping that level of secrecy when you have got thousands upon thousands of people working on it over two years? JJA: Mostly it's just about threatening them! No. It's been a group of extraordinary artists, designers, actors, musicians, marketers, everything. It's been an amazing army of people on this campaign, but it seems like to a person... Everyone wants the same thing, which is for people to experience a Star Wars movie and not have it to be ruined like so many films are before it comes out. I can't tell you how excited I am for you to meet these new characters and see the story, and it's frustrating that you haven't gotten to see the movie yet because it would be so much easier to talk about aspects of it, but at the same time it makes me nuts when I go to see a movie and I feel like I already know what's going to happen. LM: How difficult has it been planning when you release bits of information and bits of footage, and has everything go according to plan? No bad moments? JJA: We had a general sense of a strategy going out, but every day there's a new opportunity, a new request, a new slip, a new leak. There's always something going on. Our focus has tried to be on making a movie that's worth people's time and not so much the selling of it, which I know a lot of people are doing full-time. LM: John and Daisy are two Londoners, two Brits in the lead roles - what was it about them that convinced you they were right? JJA: I was required to hire Brits... That's not true. They were just amazing. Daisy first of all is a revelation. She's unbelievable in this movie. John, I already knew from Attack the Block, who I just adored in that film. I think he was 17 when he acted in that movie and made me laugh and made me cry and was just so wonderful. I got to know him a little bit and we were all just lucky to find these actors, and our British casting director Nina Gold brought them in and we couldn't be more grateful.

            "input": "Lyse DoucetChief international correspondent@bbclysedouceton Twitter The simple monument is stark and sharp-edged, a pointed block of black-veined marble memorialising a dark chapter in northern Afghanistan during a momentous history. At this hour, as America edges closer to ending its longest war, it seemed fitting that a visiting delegation of senior American and Afghan military officers should pause at this spot to acknowledge a 32-year-old CIA officer - the first US casualty in the war to topple the Taliban in 2001. Chiselled in Persian script and in English, this marble marker honours Mike Spann, who was killed in a frenzied and bloody battle in November that year: \"A hero who sacrificed his life: for freedom; for Afghanistan; for the United States of America.\" Nineteen years on, after the deaths of more than 3,500 coalition forces and more than 110,000 Afghans killed, the overriding concern is averting a chaotic conclusion - at worst another descent into civil war - as the countdown gathers pace for the gradual removal of the last US and Nato forces in Afghanistan. 'All sides' must reduce violence \"What we are trying to do is prevent any negative outcomes and keep pushing the situation back into a place where Afghanistan is not faced with civil war, or even less stability than it has now, \" says the top US soldier in Afghanistan, Gen Scott Miller, who commands Nato's Resolute Support Mission. The Taliban, now at their greatest strength since 2001, are advancing and attacking in districts across Afghanistan - despite a deal signed with the US in February which seemed to promise a respite to a nation exhausted by war and increasingly worried it will only get worse. \"The violence must come down,\" Gen Miller repeatedly emphasised in a rare interview with the BBC during one of his regular stops at American and Afghan military bases across the country. He is meeting civilian and military leaders charged with ensuring the best possible transition. \"I am specifically asking the Taliban to bring down the violence and it can't be one-sided; all sides need to bring it down.\" Under the terms of the February agreement, signed after more than a year of arduous negotiations in the Gulf state of Qatar, the last of 4,500 American troops, and 6,100 other Nato forces, are expected to leave by May of next year. But the agreement says that is contingent on the Taliban meeting their commitments - including cutting all links to extremist groups like al-Qaeda. They want to to ensure Afghanistan does not become a haven to mastermind strikes like the 11 September 2001 attacks which catapulted Nato forces into this crucial and costly engagement. Not a single American soldier has been killed in Taliban attacks since February. But the deal's reference to reducing violence against Afghans is vague, and is now the focus of conflicting interpretation and argument. That's kept Gen Miller and US envoy Zalmay Khalilzad constantly shuttling between cities including Doha and an array of regional capitals whose longstanding meddling in Afghanistan is also on a worrisome spiral. Serving soldiers avoid discussing the sensitivities of a tumultuous American election back home and the vagaries of a commander-in-chief with a penchant for upending policy with unpredictable tweets. US troops 'home by Christmas'? Another social media salvo from Donald Trump shot across Twitter last month, which had phones ringing from Washington to the front lines of this war: \"We should have the small remaining number of our BRAVE Men and Women serving in Afghanistan home by Christmas.\" \"Those are political decisions,\" Gen Miller tactfully replied to a question on whether the early May timeline in the deal was still a credible target. \"We make military recommendations. And I'll leave that for policy guidance and a view on how the peace process is going.\" The US deal had also paved the way for historic peace talks which began last month between Taliban and government negotiating teams. An encouraging start seemed to highlight a commitment to focus on the negotiating table rather than the fight. But an impasse over sensitive procedural questions including Islamic law has also concentrated minds on the risks of failure. \"We're doing everything we can to give peace with the Taliban a chance,\" emphasised Afghanistan's national security adviser Hamdullah Mohib as we sat on the sprawling lawn edged by bushes of bright roses in the heavily fortified presidential palace compound in Kabul. \"But peace and war go together and we are also preparing for other scenarios.\" Outside this magnificent 19th Century Arg fortress, bolstered by ancient stone walls and now successive rings of steel, nerves are jangling across Afghanistan amid reports of Taliban fighters stealthily encroaching on key towns and cities, including Kabul itself. Gen Miller's mission this week to the western province of Farah, like his recent stop at the Afghan army base in the walled Qala-i-Jangi fortress in the northern province of Balkh, was part of intensifying efforts to signal continuing US support to beleaguered Afghan forces - even when the clock is ticking and there's a cascade of conflicting statements from Washington over the timing of the pull-out. On every stop, Afghan and American military and civilian officers, in circles of comfortable chairs suitably spaced in this time of virus, share assessments of the strength of Afghan security forces in the face of a Taliban insurgency seeping into Afghan lives. The details are different in each province's tally on its security score card but the direction and dangers are much the same: Afghan security forces including special forces inflicting defeat and casualties in some battles; losing ground in others; and gratitude for continuing US air support which has made the difference, time and again, in denying Taliban fighters the prize of a provincial capital. \"We're surrounded,\" was the plea for help in Farah to an American general who kept consulting the map of districts where main roads are off limits to Afghan government forces, and pressure mounts on supply lines. Afghan General Ayub Salangi, who accompanied Gen Miller on his recent missions, put on a brave face. \"It's difficult now but we've confronted even worse conditions before and Afghan leaders will do it again,\" he said in reference to the earlier campaign by Western-supported mujahideen against the Soviet-backed army in the 1980s. Civil war 'very likely' But the descent into chaotic civil war among armed factions which followed the Soviet retreat in 1989 is also uppermost in Afghan minds. \"My personal worry is our own failure,\" reflected Hamdullah Mohib when I asked about his main concern now. In a stark warning that the threat of civil war was \"very likely\", he emphasised that the entire leadership of the government was now doing \"all we can to mitigate it\". US airpower, one of the most powerful weapons in its Afghan arsenal, turned the tide again this month when Taliban fighters, testing Afghan strength, and US resolve, went on the offensive in the strategic southern province of Helmand and overran government check-posts in its main city of Lashkar Gah. \"Yes, the American help was critical in Helmand,\" conceded Mr Mohib. But, as to speculation that Taliban fighters will storm provincial capitals after US planes stop their sorties, he emphasised that Afghan security forces \"have been doing all the fighting\" and making steady progress on other fronts, including the training of Afghanistan's own pilots to man their own warplanes. The US's blistering aerial attacks in Helmand provoked furious Taliban accusations that the Americans were violating the terms of their deal. \"We will defend the Afghan security forces,\" emphasised Gen Miller with a further hint of US resolve if it continues to be tested. \"We've shown a great deal of restraint because we're trying to make the peace process work.\" But, with every month that passes, there are also signs on the ground that the mighty US Army is finally packing up. In Bagram, a bustling hive of a town which mushroomed over the years alongside the US's biggest military base, there's a constant clatter of helicopters and hulking military transport planes as US hardware is ferried out. The fate of this vast compound is still uncertain but a shifting perimeter fence has already retreated by a distance of several football pitches. And the lifeblood in this town is now draining too . Some of the shops which made handsome profits selling army surplus, from nearly-new boots to computers and treadmills, are now shuttered. We were approached on the streets by Malik who, like tens of thousands of other Bagram residents, used to work at the base. \"I sold my wedding ring, because I don't have any money or anything else at home,\" Malik, 28, told me as we stood on the cracked expanse of concrete which used to be inside the base. \"I sold it to buy food for my children.\" His fear was palpable. \"One hundred percent, Taliban are here,\" he shouted, his voice rising in alarm. \"They are here, amongst us.\" In Afghanistan now there's a profound sense of uncertainty over the future, including the outcome of the looming US elections. Whether a Trump or a Biden presidency emerges, bringing different approaches to this decisive drawdown, it seems certain this mission's days are numbered. Washington's main red lines will be drawn by assessments over the threats to America's own security - even if Afghan peace talks drag on, as they're likely to do. But as the clock ticks down, its top soldier on the ground has a legacy on his mind that is at the top of the Afghans' list too. \"My greatest concern,\" Gen Miller emphasised, \"is that Afghans miss this opportunity for peace.\"",

Her report on police mobile phone data extraction (MPE) calls for a \"statutory code of practice\" for police. An investigation into MPE in Scotland and Northern Ireland continues. 'Penetrative insights' In some cases, police ask for data from a witness or victim's smartphone, not just the suspects' devices. The Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) started its investigation following concerns police forces were inconsistent in how they collected data and many took \"an overly wide approach to extracting data\". The report says mobile phones \"reveal patterns of our daily personal and professional lives and enable penetrative insights into our actions, behaviour, beliefs, and state of mind\". Taking data without \"meaningful engagement\" with witnesses and victims of crime \"risks dissuading citizens from reporting crime\", said Ms Denham. Rape investigations Campaign group Big Brother Watch said the report confirmed its \"long-held view... the police's default approach to demanding digital strip-searches of victims of crime is unlawful, damaging and needs to end\". The group has published its own report about mobile phone data collection in rape investigations. Its research suggested police investigations were dropped when the alleged victims refused to hand over their mobile phone data. The group submitted Freedom of Information requests to 22 police forces in England and Wales. 'Dangerous approach' It found officers had asked for the complainant's mobile phone data in 84 sexual assault cases. And every one of the 14 of those in which the complainant had declined had then been dropped by police. \"People who report sexual offences want to provide the relevant evidence but are routinely told they have to subject to a full phone extraction, give up social-media accounts and often more data,\" Big Brother Watch said. \"This is an incredibly dangerous approach.\"",

The discovery is the oldest evidence yet of a tumour in the human fossil record, say US scientists. The research, published in the journal PLOS One, gives clues to the complex history of cancer in humans. Until now, the earliest known bone cancers have been identified in ancient Egyptian remains from about 1,000-4,000 years ago. \"It's the oldest tumour found in the human fossil record,\" Dr David Frayer, the University of Kansas anthropologist who led the US team, told BBC News. \"It shows that living in a relatively unpolluted environment doesn't necessarily protect you against cancer, even if you were a Neanderthal living 120,000 years ago.\" Complex history The fossil was uncovered from an important archaeological site that has yielded almost 900 ancient human bones, along with stone tools. The cancerous rib is an incomplete specimen, so the overall health impact of the tumour on the individual cannot be established. The tumour was diagnosed by a medical radiologist from X-rays and CT scans. Although efforts to extract ancient DNA from the Neanderthal fossil have proved unsuccessful, the researchers hope other fossils may shed light on cancer in prehistoric humans. Commenting on the study, Kat Arney, science information manager at Cancer Research UK, said: \"Some people think that cancer is only a modern disease, but there's evidence from fossils, bones and mummies that it's actually many thousands of years old. \"So this discovery isn't entirely surprising, even though such finds are very rare, but it helps to shed light on the complex history of cancer in humans and our ancient relatives.\"",

Others have been sent home to self-isolate, and the ward has been closed to new admissions. It is the second confirmed outbreak at the hospital, which treated the highest number of Covid-19 patients in NI during the height of the pandemic. The BBC understands two nurses and a junior doctor from the Respiratory Emergency Department have also tested positive, while another 20 colleagues are isolating. Most of those staff members have been tested, with the majority of results coming back negative. Infection control experts have been at the hospital site on Tuesday. It is understood there is no identifiable link between the two clusters. 'Rising again' The Southern Health and Social Care Trust said one member of staff on the haematology ward had tested positive and three \"close staff contacts\" were self-isolating as a precaution. The trust also confirmed 12 patients on the ward had been tested for Covid-19 - five of them tested positive and one further haematology in-patient was also identified. \"Trust staff are working closely with the Public Health Agency to manage the situation and the safety of both patients and staff remains a priority,\" the trust said. \"There will be no routine visiting to the ward until further notice unless in exceptional circumstances. \"Covid-19 is rising again in our community. We urgently appeal to everyone to wash their hands, cover their face maintain social distancing.\" The families of patients are being contacted by the trust. 'Wider implications' Dr Sara Hedderwick, a consultant in infectious disease at the trust, said they were \"spending a significant amount of time\" ensuring the affected patients were as safe as possible. \"It has meant in the first instance we will have to restrict our visiting to that area, which is obviously hugely upsetting for the patients on the ward,\" she said. \"It will have wider implications for our haematology patients who were expecting to be admitted in the future.\" Dr Hedderwick said the pandemic had not gone away. \"As the winter comes back I think we're going to see more and more and more of these clusters in lots of places - hospitals being one of them,\" she said. \"We don't know who's got Covid - up to 40% of people with Covid don't really show any symptoms \"We know people can walk Covid on to our hospital site, they can be a patient, they can be a staff member and as we've allowed visitors to go back, increasingly it could be a visitor.\" 'Over and over again' Forty-seven new cases of coronavirus have been confirmed in Northern Ireland in the past 24 hours by the Department of Health, bringing the overall tally to 6,823. No new deaths were reported on Tuesday's statistical bulletin from the department. Health Minister Robin Swann said Northern Ireland was \"walking a tightrope\" in the balance to restart society amid rising cases of Covid-19. He told the Stormont press briefing that public messaging about safety measures was as vital today as it ever was and the advice remained \"a matter of life and death\". \"Our concern is some of you are getting fed up listening to it and getting tired following it,\" he told the news conference. \"Complacency is our enemy. \"I hope you'll forgive me for repeating the messages, over and over again.\" The minister hailed the success of the Department of Health's StopCOVID NI app, which he says has been downloaded more than 300,000 times. Mr Swann says 237 exposure notifications have been issued to those who would have been in close proximity with someone who had tested positive for the virus. \"A number of these would certainly have been missed by the tracing teams were it not for our app,\" he explained.

Although Captain Jack - played by John Barrowman - travelled with the Doctor for a number of episodes, he was not a full-time companion in the traditional sense. Mackie said it had been \"kind of insane\" to be the centre of attention since she was announced in the role last April, despite not being seen on screen until this Easter. \"My Twitter follower count went from 400-and-something to 16,500 in about two hours, so that was pretty mental,\" said the actress, who is taking over from Jenna Coleman as the Doctor's companion. \"But it's been really nice, everyone seems to be really excited.

It's the biggest piece of legislation to have gone through the assembly so far. Unlike the Human Transplantation Bill, which introduced a system of presumed consent for organ donations, there's no one overriding principle here. Instead, this could be seen as one giant tidying up exercise of a multitude of regulations and rules governing the care of the elderly, vulnerable children and the well being of carers themselves. Up until this point, much of this has been done on an ad-hoc basis or covered by legislation for Wales and England. Much of this provides a framework for Wales-only legislation for the first time. The one big area it touches on is the eligibility of people to have the costs of their social care covered by local authorities and health boards. Currently that can depend on where you live. The big ticket item here is social care for the elderly, particularly in areas like dementia. Care Forum Wales, the main body which represents care homes in Wales, says it will help remove the post-code lottery that governs the eligibility of social care. But there's no answer to the question of what the exact criteria will be. Crucial details like that will be worked out at a later date, much to the concern of the leader of the Welsh Liberal Democrats Kirsty Williams who says there should already be some kind of indication of what the outcome of this policy will be. The bill, being debated tonight, will continue its progress through the assembly next week. One of the really big questions - separate to this bill - that remains unanswered is how the Welsh government will help families in future deal with some of the huge costs associated with social care. In England there are plans to cap the amount the elderly will have to pay for social care at £75,000 in 2017. There will also be a rise from £23,250 to £123,000 in the amount of assets people have before having to contribute to the costs of basic nursing care. A decision by the Welsh government is expected later in the year.",

The unnamed pair, whom Mr Summerfield said had been together 67 years, have since died, he confirmed. They were cared for at Royal Stoke Hospital. The \"beautiful story\" of how they stayed together to the end has been shared on Twitter more than 19,000 times, receiving more than 220,000 likes. Mr Summerfield said: \"It is just a great example of the care we are giving to our patients and to share that with the world, really there is no better message. \"[The response] was very, very overwhelming, and the support from people out there was just amazing.\" Mr Summerfield, who works on elderly care Covid wards, said the couple had been in hospital for a few days when they began to deteriorate. \"We sort of decided there and then that we needed to get them together, it was the least we could do for them,\" he said. Staff made a large cubicle for the couple, pushed together their beds with pillows in the middle so they could hold hands, and played Glenn Miller songs on Youtube - their favourite music, according to the nurse. Mr Summerfield said: \"When I asked [the husband] how he felt his answer was 'I'm now in heaven'. \"To have that impact on somebody and for him to thank us when all we were doing was the right thing was just overwhelming for all of us. \"It is such a personal moment, somebody dying, and to be there for that and to make their passing as comfortable as possible is sometimes all we have got left to give and that's what we endeavour to do.\" He added: \"It was a beautiful story and it really did capture the world's heart.\" Follow BBC West Midlands on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

            "input": "The Easter weekend's hot weather has brought not only record-breaking temperatures, but a dumping of dust from the Sahara desert. The dust is carried in the air and can then come down as \"blood rain\", leaving the red deposits on everything it falls on. It also created spectacular sunrises on Tuesday and Wednesday. The red grit was on cars as people left work on Tuesday and came down in overnight showers. BBC Scotland weather forecaster Kawser Quamer said: \"The thin layer of dust we are seeing deposited on our cars and windows is originally from the Sahara desert. This dust has been lifted in the Sahara by strong winds up to very high altitudes and then carried hundreds of miles to us thanks to the recent mild southerly airflow. \"The fine particles of sand get caught in rain droplets in clouds, falling to the ground when it rains. When the water evaporates, a thin layer of dust is left on surfaces, like cars as we have seen, not just in Scotland but across much of the UK and Europe too. \"It has also led to some vivid sunsets and sunrises as well.\" And she thinks we could see more of it. She said: \"It is possible for some further Saharan dust to be deposited by the showers tonight and tomorrow, but then a cold front moves northeast across the UK bringing in some 'cleaner' air from the southwest.\" People took to social media to post pictures of red skies and sunrises caused by the red dust. What is Saharan Dust? As in other parts of the world, the wind can blow strongly over deserts - whipping up dust and sand high into the sky. If the winds in the upper part of the atmosphere are blowing north, the dust can be carried as far as the UK. Once it is lifted from the ground by strong winds, clouds of dust can reach very high altitudes and be transported worldwide, covering thousands of miles. In order for the dust to get from up in the sky down to the ground, you need something to wash it out of the sky - rain. As raindrops fall, they collect particles of dust on the way down. Then when the raindrops land on something and eventually evaporate, they leave behind a layer of dust. Saharan dust is relatively common in the UK often happening several times a year when big dust storms in the Sahara coincide with southerly wind patterns. In certain weather situations, Saharan dust can also affect air pollution and pollution levels. Source: The Met Office Saharan Dust can also affect air pollution levels which can be a problem for people who suffer from respiratory issues or heart problems. Heavy dust can cause sore throats and eyes, but those with lung or heart disease may have to take extra steps to protect themselves. The weather phenomenon came after Scotland enjoyed its hottest Easter Monday on record with a top temperature of 24.2C (75.5F) in Kinlochewe in Wester Ross. The figure beat the previous high of 21.4C (70.5F) from 2014. It came 24 hours after a peak of 23.4C in Edinburgh broke Scotland's Easter Sunday record. However, cooler weather is already spreading across the whole of Scotland and will continue during the rest of the week.",

            "input": "By Helier CheungBBC News, Washington DC What if you can't stand your partner, now that you're in lockdown together and can no longer ignore their annoying traits? Or worse - what if you broke up just before the order to stay at home, and are now awkwardly stuck under the same roof? If you're lucky enough to work from home, how do you deal with difficult children - or a boss who likes to micromanage you remotely? What if you still have to go in to work - and your boss won't let you wear a mask? What if your parents are driving you crazy? Or what if you just feel really lonely? For decades, advice columnists - or \"agony aunts\" - have been the go-to place for people wanting to ask for advice anonymously. Now, the crisis means some columnists are getting more queries - and the questions have become more serious and urgent. \"The outbreak has dramatically changed the type of mail I'm getting,\" says Alison Green, who runs the popular Ask A Manager advice column. \"About 90% of them are now related to the outbreak.\" Harriette Cole, who writes the syndicated column Sense and Sensitivity, says \"there is no relationship today that isn't somehow affected\". She has had questions ranging from dealing with over-friendly neighbours who won't social distance, to staying in touch with elderly parents who don't know how to use smart phones, to discussing class differences exposed by the pandemic with your child, after they realise all their friends have gone to second homes. Frankly, this is a time when we could all use some advice and support - so we spoke to some of the US's favourite agony aunts and uncles, to find out what problems are bothering their readers the most - and what advice they have. 'What if my workplace isn't safe?' Ms Green says that, prior to the outbreak, most of her reader questions were about awkward interactions. \"There was a lot of inter-personal stuff - like 'my co-worker is really annoying', or 'I'm allergic to my boss' perfume'. I have almost none of those questions now - because that stuff goes away if you're not physically at work with people, and people's priorities are different now.\" Instead, her readers are particularly worried about job security - and whether their work environments are safe. It's a similar situation for Quentin Fottrell, who runs The Moneyist, an advice column on the finance media site Marketwatch. Instead of personal finance queries, he says the \"lion's share\" of questions are now about workplace safety - such as one from a grocery store worker who was in close proximity to customers, but banned from wearing a face mask. \"Service workers in essential industries are really at the coal face,\" Mr Fottrell says. \"People are just grappling with bosses who don't understand the pandemic.\" So what should you do if your workplace is unsafe? \"It's really hard, but if your employer is making decisions that jeopardise your health, you can try to push back as a group, because there's safety in numbers,\" says Ms Green. \"Depending on the situation, it might also be something you can report to the state authorities.\" 'Should I pay my cleaner even if they're not working?' One question that struck Mr Fottrell came from someone who had cancelled their housekeeper's cleaning services due to social distancing - but wondered if they should keep paying them. His advice? That paying would be a \"decent gesture\" if they could afford it. Since service staff have been hit particularly hard by the outbreak, he also suggests people tip 5% more than usual. \"I feel like it's the lower paid workers who are really taking the brunt of this virus through their workplaces - when I go to the supermarket, I always say 'thank you for working today'.\" 'How do I handle working from home?' Another common theme Ms Green has seen is about remote working - with managers expecting employees to work around the clock, or workers finding it difficult to be productive at home while also looking after children. \"Managers are suddenly managing everyone remotely - and some don't know how to - so they micromanage, or want multiple check-ins every day. I've heard from people whose managers wanted them to stay on video all day long\" to prove they're working, Ms Green says. For people with anxious bosses, Ms Green suggests that you offer to send them information at the start of each day about what you're working on, and try to explain that having several check-in meetings daily could actually make you less productive. Meanwhile, she tells managers that it's in their own interests to be supportive right now - and understanding of employees who may be less productive than usual. \"People have long memories... If they see you making life harder for your employees - they may not leave right away, but they will eventually.\" 'How do I date during the outbreak?' Relationship advice columnists have also seen a drastic change. Harris O'Malley runs the Dr Nerdlove column - which he describes as giving \"dating advice to geeks of all stripes\". Previously, many questions were from readers who felt they were unattractive or socially awkward. Thanks to social distancing, these questions have fallen away - partly, he believes, because \"a lot of my audience feel more secure communicating over text or internet than in person\". Instead, the outbreak has \"changed the mechanics\" of dating - and he now has to coach people on how to have good online dates. \"I'm having to tell people about how to connect on a more mental or emotional level - how to keep relationships vibrant when you can't fall back on the easy outs. \"When you're not able to meet up in person, you can't say 'let's have this casual relationship and see if it goes anywhere' - people are now finding they have to approach relationships with thought, care and attention.\" 'What if I can't meet my sex partner anymore?' Dan Savage, who runs the popular Savage Love column and podcast, says over 80% of the queries he gets are now coronavirus-related - and the outbreak has forced him to change his advice as \"the very premise of many sex and dating questions has been exploded\" by the outbreak. Previously, he often advocated for non-monogamous and open relationships. Now, he finds himself telling readers they should stay monogamous with partners they live with to observe social distancing. He also gets questions about \"sexting\". \"It's funny how this crisis has mainstreamed online sex - even a government health department is now telling people that online sex is safer sex,\" he says. 'What if I can't stand my partner anymore?' Beyond online sex, Dan Savage says many readers \"find being forced to spend every moment with their partner is exposing cracks in their relationship\". It's important that couples \"carve out time alone\" even when they are under the same roof, he says. \"We interpret someone wanting 'alone time' as rejection, but studies show one predictor of long-term success in a couple is the ability to spend time apart.\" Some of the most memorable questions he received came from a reader who broke up just before the shelter-in-place order, and a woman who told her husband she was thinking about leaving, right before the lockdown. In those cases, he has suggested that readers stay put where possible, and \"acknowledge the awkwardness\". In the case of the woman who wanted to leave her husband, he suggested signalling some flexibility for now - even if her mind's made up - to make her temporary living situation more bearable for them both. 'What if I'm single and feel lonely?' All the relationship advice columnists we spoke to said they received more questions from readers who are single and feel particularly lonely right now. Mr O'Malley says clients \"who are lonely and want to date\" have asked him whether they can flirt with people they see in public places. \"I've had to tell them: no, you really can't - it's kind of irresponsible to do so right now.\" Ms Cole has received a lot of what she describes as \"young love\" questions - from teenagers who like each other and have started communicating on Snapchat, but are unable to hang out at school and get to know each other. \"Normally by now they would be [meeting] each other. Now all they have is social media,\" she says. Her advice? To try doing things the old-school way, by \"literally talking on the phone\", because \"engaging in lengthier conversations will help you to get to know each other better\". Mr Savage urges single readers not to assume that couples are happier. \"Happiness is something we create for ourselves. We all need to build lives that are rich, as individuals, because there will be times in all our lives when we're un-partnered. Work on getting happy now - you can work on getting partnered later.\" 'What if I'm stuck with my parents?' John Paul Brammer writes the ¡Hola Papi! column, which advises on LGBT issues - particularly for the Latino community. He says he has seen a dramatic jump in the number of reader queries - and is \"getting a lot of letters from people who've found they've had to re-closet themselves\" during the pandemic. Some of his readers are out to their friends but not their parents, while others may be out, but still \"feel more comfortable expressing their full selves outside their homes\". \"Now that a lot of people find themselves at home with their parents 24/7, a lot of anxiety returns - they feel re-closeted or like they're losing who they are.\" His advice is to remember that \"this is temporary, and you're still you\", and to try and communicate your feelings with a supportive family member or friends. He also urges people to reach out to others - \"everyone wants to be connected right now… pain is what bonds people together\". 'How do I mentally get through this outbreak?\" These may be unprecedented times - but coronavirus isn't the first crisis the world has faced. Ms Green started the Ask a Manager column in 2007 - shortly before the recession hit - and remembers that \"for years, my mail was very depressing\". Similarly, Mr Savage began his column in 1991, and says his early column was dominated by questions from readers anxious about the HIV/Aids crisis. He emphasises that things won't always be like this. \"It's terrifying, I'm scared, but we will come through this… The crisis is highlighting a lot of social injustices, and hopefully that will stiffen our resolve to do something about it after the crisis ends.\" Meanwhile, Mr Fottrell says \"one of the most valuable functions of an advice column is it shows people who haven't written in\" that others are experiencing similar problems. \"You are not alone. We always think our situations are unique - and while we are unique as people, if you're experiencing something, you can be sure many others are too.\" And finally - it's OK to take a break from following the crisis. Agony aunts as well as their readers welcome having the chance to address something different, columnists told BBC. Mr O'Malley recalls a recent question submitted to the Dr Nerdlove column, where a reader was \"worried about the size and appearance of his genitalia\". \"I never thought I'd say this - but I really appreciated a question that wasn't about Covid-19!\"",

            "input": "By Tracy OllerenshawNewsbeat reporter It meant her body didn't produce insulin so to stay alive she had to inject it daily as well as take extra care with the food she ate. She died on 12 September 2015 after years of suffering with diabulimia. The term, which isn't yet medically recognised, refers to diabetic people who deliberately take too little insulin in order to lose weight. Lisa's older sister Katie Edwards has been looking through the diary her sister wrote just after she was diagnosed. Lisa started writing the diary just after she was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in September 2001. Boxing Day 2001 \"I feel really fat. I want to lose weight. Think I'm about 9 stone.\" New Years Day 2002 \"I have to do my injections in a mo. I am going to ring Sam tonight so that I can meet with him tomorrow. I've just made myself sick twice.\" Flicking through the pages, Katie describes Lisa: \"She was my younger sister. She was fun, but serious at times. She had a lot of friends. She loved life but you could tell that there was something deep down that was troubling her. \"She always had a bit of a sad shadow following her around.\" You can also explore this story in a different way. Newsbeat Explains is a new way of experiencing news piece by piece - click here to try it with this story. 13 February 2002 \"Non-uniform day. I feel so FAT. Everyone looked great today but me. I threw up my food today. I have to quickly do my art homework.\" 5 March \"I am so pleased and I feel great. Haven't eaten chocolate in four days and I've lost half a stone. Mike texted me last night and everything is good. Must learn not to go red. \"I weigh 55.8 kg. \"I think I am bulimic.\" Katie says she didn't realise how bad things were. She and her mum only recently found the diary. \"I'm not sure which came first, diabetes or eating problems,\" Katie tells Newsbeat, as she looks through photos of her sister. \"But I know that before Lisa was a diabetic she was completely happy, would eat what she wanted and wasn't funny about food at all. \"When she was diagnosed as diabetic she was told to keep diaries and write down what she was eating and what her sugar levels were.\" 14 March \"I keep having to make myself sick otherwise I feel guilty about what I've eaten.\" 15 March \"I feel so fat. I hate myself. I start working at the pet shop tomorrow. Disco at FC tomorrow, going with Holly.\" 18 March \"I had a really bad hypo at lunch. I was sitting with Mike and his girlfriend. I don't think he thinks I'm fit any more.\" Almost everyone with type 1 diabetes will have a \"hypo\" at some stage. Hypos (hypoglycaemia or low blood glucose) happen when your blood glucose level drops too low. In people who don't have diabetes, the right amount of insulin is usually produced at the right time so their blood glucose level doesn't go too high or too low. But in people with type 1 diabetes, the balance of insulin, food and physical activity sometimes isn't right and blood glucose levels drop too low. 30 April \"I went to dance today and the gym. I haven't made myself sick for ages! Saw Mike again today. V boring day.\" At this point Lisa wasn't aware of diabulimia. \"Over Lisa's time as a diabetic it changed,\" Katie tells Newsbeat. \"They [diabetics] have to look really hard at what they eat when diagnosed. \"I think Lisa looked at it too hard. It was to the point where when she ate food she wouldn't have any sauce, any butter, no nothing on it. \"Sometimes she would just have half a jacket potato or she would just have fish not cooked in oil, no nothing, and she would lose a hell of a lot of weight.\" \"I remember once Mum gave her an ice cream and she was so proud that she'd eaten this but she was so ill because her stomach rejected it as she hadn't been eating enough.\" 29 May \"I hate being diabetic. I can't eat when I want (like not having to eat in the evening) cos I don't want to put on extra weight.\" Katie remembers how Lisa changed her eating habits as time went on. \"She was clever to start with - not eating a lot - but when she got the pump and things - she realised if she didn't take her insulin she would lose weight anyway - if she didn't take her insulin she could eat all the foods she wasn't supposed to.\" An insulin pump is a battery-operated device that provides regular insulin throughout the day via a tiny, flexible tube (cannula), inserted under the skin. It can give someone with type 1 diabetes more flexibility. 15 August \"I've been doing stomach exercises and bum exercises and going to the gym like every day, I can't do any more or I'll die from exhaustion, but maybe that's a good thing as I'm so fat. \"I'd better go and burn some of my dinner off like doing star jumps or something, please let me die.\" At this stage, in 2002, Lisa's family didn't realise just how bad things were getting. \"The diabetic is in charge of their care, they know how much insulin is needed and it's up to them to look after themselves,\" Katie tells Newsbeat. \"Me and my family, we assumed she knew what she's doing. There was nothing we could do and if she said she's done something... she's basically had her life in her own hands.\" 23 October \"I went swimming today and did about six lengths. Boring. I've been hiding skimmed milk in my room so I don't get as much fat from semi-skimmed!\" 12 November \"Didn't go to school today. I've now been writing a diary for a year. \"So in the past year I've become bulimic - but I'm getting better. Yeh. \"But I've lost 1 and a half stone. I now weigh 7 and a half stone.\" 13 November \"Went back to school today. Lesley and Phoebe had a fight. I threw up some pasta, I ate too much. I don't want to lose any more weight before I go to the hospital in two weeks.\" 25 November \"One month until Christmas! I really want to go to hospital on Thursday so I can eat lunch without feeling guilty, but I'm a bit scared about my weight. I felt really bad on Sat coz I didn't eat round Holz.\" 4 December \"Joe and Tom texted me. I've been told they think I'm well fit. GREAT my weight loss is paying off.\" Katie talks about her sister's love of \"baking cakes and cooking curries\" adding that she just \"ate it because she didn't take her insulin\". \"As time went on she realised she could run her blood sugars high, not take insulin, eat what she wanted and lose weight anyway. \"She wasn't knocking back desserts, coke and sweets but when it came to food she'd literally eat what she wanted.\" With that it brought on awful side-effects and, Katie says, \"problems with her stomach, problems with her feet\". \"She's just generally getting worse and worse and you can tell, there's a picture here - see how pink her cheeks are - that's one of the signs of it. \"Whenever you saw Lisa, if her cheeks were that colour you knew she wasn't taking her insulin.\" Lisa also developed serious stomach pains. \"She had this stomach condition where she was eating food but her stomach wasn't processing it and it was coming out the same the other side and she was getting terrible pains - and in and out of hospital between January and April last year. \"They said it was damage she had done through her misuse of insulin and it really got her down.\" This was one of Lisa's last entries in this diary. 23 June 2004 \"I feel as if I'm going to succeed, hit my red dress again and lose one to one and a half stone by September.\" Lisa's mum still has the red dress that her daughter obsessed over. \"Lisa said a million times, 'That's my target dress,' which is pretty sad. I don't even think it's a proper size eight and she was gagging to get back into it. There's no way I could get in that.\" In the years after this diary, Katie says Lisa was in and out of hospital and \"even when she was smiling you could tell there was something else going on\". \"Looking back now since she's died I've realised everything she had to do and how hard it must've been for her. \"I was aware she had to take insulin,\" says Katie. \"But I didn't know how involved she had to be, and with this diabulimia thing I didn't realise about other people having it and that's only really come to light since she's died. \"I just think it's really sad. If Lisa had help 10 years ago maybe she'd still be here because she'd be looking after herself.\" The UK's first ever diabetes and eating disorder service has launched at King's College in London. The charity, DWED (Diabetics With Eating Disorders) has been campaigning to have omitting insulin to lose weight officially recognised as a mental illness. A new set of guidelines for the treatment of eating disorders, which includes how best to treat those who also have diabetes, is expected to be released by the National Institute of Health and Care Excellence (Nice) in early 2017. On Monday it will be a year since Lisa died. \"I don't want to sit here all day and be crying all day and upset 'cause it was the most awful week of my life,\" says an emotional Katie. \"I just want to turn it into something more positive and a bit more cheerful but we will remember her in some way, yes.\" There's more information on diabetes at BBC Advice.

He argued there were \"serious and unquantifiable safety issues\", big ethical questions and no compelling medical reason to do it. He said the NIH would not fund such research in the US. The advent of \"Crispr technology\" - which is a more precise way of editing DNA than anything that has come before - has spurred huge progress in genetics. But there had been growing concern these tremendous advances were making the modification of human embryos more likely. Dr Tony Perry, a pioneer in cloning, told the BBC News website in January that designer babies were no longer \"HG Wells\" territory. Concerns were also raised in the journal Nature as rumours circulated that it had already taken place. World first Last week a team at Sun Yat-sen University, in Guangzhou, reported using Crispr to modify defective parts of DNA that lead to a blood disorder called beta thalassaemia. Their world first, reported in the journal Protein and Cell, showed the correction was successful in seven out of 86 attempts. However, there were a number of other \"off-target\" mutations introduced to the genetic code. The embryos used were \"non-viable\" so could never have led to a child. There have been repeated calls for a worldwide freeze on such research while society as a whole decides what should be allowed. However, the US National Institutes of Health has made its position clear - that no such research should take place. Dr Collins, who was also a key player in the Human Genome Project, released a statement saying: \"The concept of altering the human germline in embryos for clinical purposes has been debated over many years from many different perspectives, and has been viewed almost universally as a line that should not be crossed. \"Advances in technology have given us an elegant new way of carrying out genome editing, but the strong arguments against engaging in this activity remain. \"These include the serious and unquantifiable safety issues, ethical issues presented by altering the germline in a way that affects the next generation without their consent, and a current lack of compelling medical applications.\" Dr Marcy Darnovsky, from the Center for Genetics and Society in the US, argued: \"There is no persuasive medical reason to manipulate the human germline because inherited genetic diseases can be prevented using embryo screening techniques, among other means. \"Is the only justification for trying to refine germline gene editing the prospect of so-called enhancement?\"",

            "input": "Dominic CascianiHome affairs correspondent@BBCDomCon Twitter The report prepared by former terrorism laws watchdog David Anderson QC is a public version of a review by the intelligence and security establishment that runs to more than 1,000 pages. The Westminster Bridge attack, 22 March On 9 March, Masood bought two carving knives in Birmingham and sent himself an email with the subject line \"retaliation\". The review says he had a document, with his photograph on the front page, that contained multiple religious quotes that are often used to justify violence. A few minutes before the attack, Masood shared his Jihad document with contacts by WhatsApp and text message. Now, we already knew that Masood had been investigated as a potential extremist in 2010 - but the first trace of him in MI5's systems dates back to April 2004. A telephone associated with him appeared in the contact list of an individual who was already part of a major investigation. At the time, Masood was living in Crawley, West Sussex - and the town was the epicentre of the Operation Crevice investigation that smashed the then biggest terrorist plot in Britain. Masood was designated as an MI5 \"Subject of Interest\" (SOI) - meaning someone it is trying to investigate - in 2010 after he was found to be an associate of people trying to get to an al-Qaeda training camp in Pakistan. By the end of the year, investigators concluded he wasn't a threat and he was removed from the live SOIs list. Over the next four years he intermittently popped up as a contact of people involved in the banned network once headed by the hate preacher Anjem Choudary. Profile: Who was the Westminster Bridge attacker Khalid Masood? The Manchester Arena attack, 22 May Abedi was first actively investigated by MI5 in January 2014. He was thought to be an associate of a suspect - but was discounted by July when it turned out he was not the man investigators wanted. In October 2015, he again became a subject of interest for a single day because it was thought, erroneously, that he was in direct contact with a member of the Islamic State group in Libya. However, that's not the whole story. The report says: \"MI5 ... came by intelligence [on Abedi] in the months before the attack which, had its true significance been properly understood, would have caused an investigation into him to be opened.\" Those two pieces of undisclosed intelligence were thought to relate to crime, rather than terrorism. Was this a missed opportunity? MI5 concluded that the intelligence was insufficient. But Mr Anderson's review states: \"It is conceivable that the Manchester attack... might have been averted had the cards fallen differently.\" MI5 has conceded that it missed an opportunity to place Abedi on a port watch list - which would have meant he could have been questioned on his return from Libya, days before the attack. There is another twist. Before the the attack, analysts used a \"data-washing\" exercise to go through 20,000 closed cases to see if there were any leads they should follow up. Abedi was one of a \"small number\" of individuals whose name came up. Mr Anderson says they were closing in on him - and MI5 had planned a meeting to discuss the names on the shortlist. That case conference was scheduled for nine days after Abedi became a mass murderer. Profile: Who was the Manchester attacker, Salman Abedi? London Bridge and Borough Market attack: 3 June The most serious revelations of missed opportunities relate to Butt, the ringleader, because he was under \"active investigation\". The probe opened in mid-2015 after the intelligence agencies received information that Butt aspired to carry out an attack in the UK. He was important enough to be watched over the coming two years. MI5 uses a \"triage system\" to prioritise who needs the most monitoring. Suspects can go up and down the priority ladder, depending on whether other threats are more pressing. Butt was two notches below the highest priority. That means he was thought to be involved in the steps linked to attack planning, such as training and fundraising. He was not a bit part player - he warranted his own investigation. After a few months, he was downgraded a notch to \"medium risk\" because investigators concluded he did not have the capabilities. MI5's prioritisation system explained Butt remained involved with known extremists-and MI5 believed he was thinking of going to Syria. After the Bataclan attack in Paris, the active investigation into Butt was suspended for two months as officers were diverted onto more urgent operations. It was suspended for a second time the day before the Westminster attack. When it re-opened, Butt was further downgraded to an \"unresolved\" risk. Throughout 2017, it now transpires, Butt was deepening his relationship with his co-conspirators, Youssef Zaghba and Rachid Redouane. MI5 now thinks that the three got together at a gym in east London - and that Zaghba may have helped Butt to teach Koranic classes to children at the same centre. The report also reveals that MI5 had intelligence about a Moroccan called \"Rashid\" who was a friend of Butt's. Profile: Who was London Bridge attacker Khuram Butt? Finsbury Park: 19 June Mr Anderson's report says that MI5 held no intelligence that could have prevented the attack. Darren Osborne, the man alleged to have carried out this attack, is due to face trial for murder. Could MI5 have stopped the attacks? It says not - but Mr Anderson believes there were opportunities. Given the scale of terrorism-related activity since 2013 - when the Syria crisis gave a boost to recruitment in the UK - there is no doubt that the security service has been juggling a huge numbers of cases. The real question is whether the manpower is matched with the right data tools and relationships with other bodies to stop more of the threats before it is too late. Data analysis will play an increasingly important role in trying to spot individuals who may pose a threat after years of being quiet. Perhaps the most important change to come is that MI5 may be told to share some of what it knows with other agencies - such as local councils - in the hope that people on the ground can provide the missing piece of information they need to disrupt a threat. This raises huge cultural challenges for an organisation that necessarily operates below the radar.",

That was it,\" says Dennis Morley, now 98 but then a 22-year-old in the Royal Scots regiment. \"It was at that time they battened us down. They meant us to go down with the ship - drown.\" On 1 October 1942, Morley was one of more than 1,800 British prisoners of war being taken from Hong Kong to labour camps in Japan in the hold of a cargo ship, the Lisbon Maru. Conditions were appalling. At the bottom of the hold, Morley remembers being showered by the diarrhoea of sick soldiers above him, \"swimming in excreta, virtually\". After the ship was torpedoed they were given no food or water - and once the hatches were covered by planks and canvas they sat in the dark, running short of air to breathe. They still assumed they would be taken off the ship before it sank, as the 700 Japanese troops accompanying them had been. But after a day and a night the hull gave a \"sudden drunken lurch\", as one of the POWs wrote later, and a frantic escape effort began. \"Well, one chap, he was in the Middlesex Regiment, he was a butcher and the Japanese allowed him this knife, which he was able to put through the planks. He got through to the canvas and cut the canvas, eventually - the whole lot. The canvas could be lifted out the way and the planks moved which is how we got out,\" Morley says. Find out more Dennis Morley and Fang Li spoke to Emily Unia on the Today programme on BBC Radio 4 Listen again here \"A bit of a panic started because everyone was trying to rush up to this ladder and everybody was fighting to get on this ladder. Consequently, you're getting so far up and falling down into the bottom of this hold - until this officer, Capt Cuthbertson of the Royal Scots, stopped the panic and got them to quieten down. So you could go up that ladder one by one. \"Eventually I went up, and by the time I got up the rear end had gone down and it was just the bows. And then… slide off the side, get in the water, lay on your back and float, just make sure you get away from the ship.\" The first POWs to reach the deck were fired at by a few remaining Japanese guards, but they were quickly overcome. Those, like Morley, that made it into the water were targeted by machine guns on other Japanese ships. However, once Chinese fishermen started coming to the British soldiers' aid, the Japanese also began to gather them up. The most harrowing scene occurred when the ladder broke in one of the three holds containing POWs, leaving dozens of men of the Royal Artillery trapped inside. Survivors reported hearing them singing \"It's a long way to Tipperary\" as the ship sank. In total 828 POWs died either on board or in the waters nearby, according to Tony Banham, author of The Sinking of the Lisbon Maru, Britain's Forgotten Wartime Tragedy. Especially tragic was the fact that the ship had been sunk by an American submarine, the Grouper, whose crew were completely unaware there were allied POWs on board until they picked up a radio signal several days later, Banham says. At first sight it had looked like any other troop transport ship. Chinese film-maker Fang Li first heard this story four years ago, from a ferry captain in the Zhoushan archipelago, 100 miles (160km) south-east of Shanghai, where the ship went down. He was surprised that he had never heard about it before and started investigating. Two years later he carried out a survey of the area and captured sonar images of a wreck 460ft (140m) long and 140ft (40m)wide, which he is certain is the Lisbon Maru. \"While I was doing this I was totally touched by those young boys, the age of my son. So many of them lost their lives there,\" he says. \"One hundred of them are actually still inside the holds, so in every sense you feel you're connected. I was only 30m [100ft, the depth of the wreck] away from those boys who got killed there.\" News coverage of the discovery prompted family members of the dead to get in touch with him, including Amanda Christian, whose father was seven when his own father died on the Lisbon Maru. The family commemorated Amanda's grandfather with a gravestone, even though his body was far away in the East China Sea. \"I would visit the grave often - on poppy days and Christmas, but that's not good enough. He's not there, there's just a stone, there's nothing there,\" she says. \"If you send a man to war, you should bring him home, dead or alive. This is his home.\" Fang Li has begun shooting a documentary on the subject. He has located a fisherman who helped rescue British soldiers in 1942 and last week he placed an advertisement in The Times, in the hope of tracing more relatives of the British POWs. But he also wants to raise the Lisbon Maru from the seabed, in the hope that it will be possible to return the remains of the dead to their families. For this initiative he has the support of Amanda Christian, but Dennis Morley - thought to be the last survivor still alive in Britain - is opposed. One other survivor, William Beningfield, First Battalion the Middlesex Regiment, now lives in Canada. \"Oh God, how many hundred went under? Could be 1,000-odd. I don't know. It's no good getting them out. They're all dead. They are probably bleached bones now,\" Morley says. \"It's wartime and a lot of horrible things happened during the war. They're in peace. Leave them in peace… It is a war grave and should be left as a war grave.\" Fang Li says he accepts that a sunken warship may be regarded as a sacrosanct war grave - the battleship Arizona, for example, which was sunk by the Japanese in Pearl Harbor a few days before the Lisbon Maru POWs were captured in Hong Kong. But the crew members of the Arizona remain on their own ship, he points out, and in US waters, while the Lisbon Maru, as he puts it, was \"a jail\". \"All those boys were detained there against their will, that's why I feel so sad today - they are still detained on the sea floor,\" he argues. \"In my personal opinion they are on the Chinese sea floor in a Japanese jail. Shouldn't we free them, and send them home?\" Reporting by Emily Unia and Stephen Mulvey More from BBC Stories In 1969, at the height of the Cold War, a homesick, hungover mechanic in the US Air Force stole a plane from his base in East Anglia and set off for Virginia.

Matchmaking apps and websites have sprung up offering to help parents connect with other families to form \"safe\" learning pods, or match them with teachers who can give online lessons, dubbed \"zutors\" (zoom tutors) by one matchmaking service. Regular tutoring services have also seen an explosion of interest. One company in Missouri saw a 40% rise in bookings for its online academic subjects across all age groups in April, and is now seeking to add 10,000 more tutors and instructors. But extra teaching does not come cheap, with private tutors costing anywhere between $20 (£15) and $65 (£49) an hour, and monthly fees at around $3,000 (£2,300). Posts to the Pandemic Pods group range from seeking advice on whether an \"outdoor-based\" pod of five children, made up of three families, can safely spend some time indoors, to a mother wanting advice on how to manage a \"micro-school\" timetable for six six-year-olds. One California mother has erected a huge geodesic tent in her back garden and renamed it \"Dome School\" for a small group of kindergarten-age children. Julie Lam, CEO of San Francisco-based real estate investment firm Goodegg, realised she needed to make changes for the new school year after her \"really terrible\" experience trying to work and home-school her three children aged five, seven and eight during the spring term. \"I'm not an educator. I was trying to support each of my three children in their school work each day, trying to work out what they should be doing, trying to work out if they were doing it right, while fielding calls and taking meetings. It's was so stressful,\" she says. Unhappy with the input she got from her children's public school, she and her husband decided to move their children to a private school. Although her children will start their new school remotely, Mrs Lam says the support she has received has been \"very refreshing\". The children can expect a full timetable of study, and she can have a daily check-in with their teachers. Through a matchmaking site, she has also found a college graduate who can come to her house three days a week and help supervise her children's distance learning. Ms Lam recognises she is in a fortunate position to be able to make these choices. \"I didn't grow up with wealth so I don't take it for granted. I think everyone is just trying to do the best they can in these difficult times.\" Widening gaps of inequality Her comments touch on one of the big concerns around the growing popularity of learning pods and private tutors - that it will further widen inequalities in the education system, which have long fallen along race and income lines. New research suggests the impact of the lockdown is already being seen in students' academic gains. A working paper from the NWEA, a non-profit organisation, predicts the average student will be starting the new school year having lost as much as a third of the expected progress in reading and half the expected progress in maths. Some students are nearly a full year behind where they might expect to be in a normal school year. Learning loss is likely to be greater among low-income black and Hispanic students, according to analysis by consulting group McKinsey and Company. It highlights data which shows only 60% of low-income students logging into online instruction compared with 90% of high-income students. Engagement rates were also lagging behind in schools serving predominantly black and Hispanic students, with 60-70% logging on regularly. Most schools across the US had intended to welcome back students on their premises when the new academic year starts in the coming weeks. But with US Covid-19 cases topping 4.7 million and rising by up to 77,000 a day, they have had to rapidly rethink their plans. More than half of 106 school districts have now confirmed they will begin remotely, compared with just one two weeks ago. Bree Dusseault of The Center on Reinventing Public Education (CRPE) says some schools have been able to transition smoothly to online teaching, while others are still trying to organise laptops and internet hotspots for their students. She says many school districts have not been properly supported at state level, and have been burdened with having to \"provide everything for schools as well as ensure health\". State intervention would allow for greater consistency when it comes to \"device provision, communication hotspots, school meals, mental health and protections for physical health\", she says. A big unknown, she says, is how the country's most vulnerable learners are faring. \"Districts are reassuring us that they will provide services, but there has been almost no information about what support is being given to children who are homeless, disabled and in juvenile detention.\" Ms Dusseault understands why parents would seek out-of-school support \"especially if their district isn't stepping up\", but she says \"the key is ensuring that all families can find and pay for those solutions if they have to\". \"Robust conversations\" around equality issues are also heavily discussed in the Facebook groups, says Ms Chang, and some families are actively trying to organise pods that are more equitable. One public elementary school in San Francisco, Rooftop, decided to \"head inequity off at the pass\" as head Nancy Bui puts it, by organising a school-wide virtual \"pod\" programme. This programme \"supports family-to-family connections by assigning kids in the same class to smaller cohorts\" but ensures the pods reflect the diversity of the school. 'They didn't even know they were learning' Kellyse Brown's family is one for whom a solution has been found. The lively nine-year-old has spent the summer taking part in a summer school set up and run by a parent-led group in Oakland, California. Oakland Reach was set up four years ago to help disadvantaged families fight for high quality education for their children. Most of the city's public schools are majority black and Latino, and less than 30% of students were reaching the required reading level. A group of parents decided this had to change. Co-founder Lakisha Young said it became apparent as soon as the lockdown happened in March that the students of Oakland were likely to be adversely affected and indeed this proved the case, with just 30% of students found to be participating in online learning. The organisation raised more than $350,000 to pay for 14 teachers and two directors to run a free virtual summer school for 180 children aged between five and 13, for the whole of the six-week summer break. Kellyse's day starts with a virtual get-together with her classmates and teacher. She will do some maths and English along with an hour of mindfulness and an afternoon of enrichment activities ranging from science experiments to karate and cooking. Her mother, Keta Brown, who is a family liaison officer with Oakland Reach, says it has been a wonderful experience for her daughter. \"It hasn't felt like work. Their literacy lessons for instance revolved around civil rights and Black Lives Matter - issues that are relevant to them. They didn't even know they were learning,\" says Keta, who is also delighted that her daughter now knows how to cook pasta. \"I feel so fortunate that Kellyse was able to have this opportunity because so much learning is lost in the summer term, and it's very possible children this year will have backtracked to March.\" Oakland Reach is now thinking about how to help families further as the new school year gets under way remotely - and is well supported by both the school district and financial donors in doing so. Ms Young says that for families who are happy with their school's provision they still want to offer \"robust one-to-one tutoring\" to supplement children's learning. For other families, they intend to continue providing academic instruction and enrichment - and \"setting up parents as the real leaders of their child's education\", by providing support to access both the curriculum and the necessary technology. On the subject of pods, she says: \"We would love to partner with them. This crisis has created an opportunity for real innovation and we are open to working with everyone to help make our education system work better for all.\"",

            "input": "By Sarah BellVictoria Derbyshire programme A new project called Pregnant Then Screwed says it's already exposing the scale of the problem and is hoping to build a case for change. \"My colleagues all got promotions when I was on maternity leave...\" \"I was placed in the most junior role to ease me back in...\" \"She didn't think women with under-fives should work...\" A quick scan of the Pregnant Then Screwed website gives a snapshot of the way many women are being treated when they announce their pregnancy to their employers. The site's founder, Joeli Brearley, 36, experienced discrimination when she was pregnant and was shocked by how many similar stories she heard when she spoke to other mothers. \"The problem is women are too scared to speak out for fear of being branded a troublemaker. Or if they still work for the company they are terrified of losing their jobs, particularly now that they are responsible for a child,\" she told the Victoria Derbyshire programme. \"You also only have three months to take a case of discrimination to an employment tribunal, and this tends to come at a time when you are weak, exhausted and frankly, this just isn't your priority. \"It all just gets brushed under the carpet.\" Case study: Charlotte, 31, from Scotland \"I left my job recently after nine years. My employer was supportive of me working flexible hours after my first baby, but I got pregnant with my second baby almost straight away. They took me off any interesting contracts and made me do admin, all under the cloak of 'you won't want to stay late because you have a family'. But I would have liked to have done something more interesting; I just put up with it because I knew I would be leaving again. When I returned after my second maternity leave they said I could stagger my return, starting with three days a week, which would be reviewed after six months. But six weeks before this was up, my line manager told me I had to come back to work full time or leave. No negotiations, and flexible working was not on the table. I told them childcare would cost more than my pay. I was really angry - I didn't want to be part of a company that showed such little loyalty for all my hard work. I am suing for constructive dismissal as the person they have replaced me with is working part time. Acas, a conciliation service, says I have a strong case for breach of contract. I deserve some compensation for the stress it has caused.\" The first legislation protecting women from unfair dismissal because of pregnancy was introduced 40 years ago. Since then, successive laws have strengthened maternity rights. Women are now protected from any unfavourable treatment at work because of pregnancy or maternity leave. But nine years ago, research from the Equal Opportunities Commission (EQC) found half of all pregnant women suffered a related disadvantage at work, with 30,000 forced out of their jobs each year. Others are demoted, suffer harassment, miss out on promotion or lose contracts if they are self-employed. The charity Maternity Action now estimates as many as 60,000 pregnant women are losing their jobs every year - an increase which they put down to the \"explosive growth in precarious forms of employment\" since the financial crisis. They applied the same methodology as the EQC - taking the number of people who went to tribunal and taking into account that this was only 3% of actual cases. Ms Brearley was self employed as a project manager in art and digital technology, and had been working with her main client for six months when she told them she was pregnant. They ended the contract, despite her meticulous planning to cover her absence. \"I suddenly found myself four months pregnant and pretty much unemployed. It was terrifying,\" she said. \"There was no way I could survive the next five months plus maternity leave without a good income as I had bills to pay, but no-one was going to employ a visibly pregnant woman. \"I became very stressed, felt very alone and vulnerable, and it totally shattered my confidence,\" she said. When Danielle Ayres, 32, an employment lawyer for north west firm Gorvins Solicitors, attended baby groups with her first son, she was astonished at how many mothers she heard saying they were having issues with their employers. She soon found herself dishing out legal advice amid the chat about teething and sleep training, and now runs free advice clinics every six weeks. The take-up has been \"huge\", she said. Her cases include one woman who, after informing her boss she was pregnant, received the reply: \"I hope you aren't going to be taking the full 12 months off.\" Another returned to work to find that a reorganisation had taken place while she had been on maternity leave and that she had no desk or job. \"Mums don't really know their rights, what they're entitled to and how they should be treated,\" said Mrs Ayres. \"Some employers hit the nail on the head and manage pregnancies and maternity leave to the letter, and they really know how to support working mums. \"But others - either by fault or design - get it completely wrong, and it's really deeply disappointing that in the 21st Century people are facing these challenges.\" Main maternity rights Source: Maternity Action Mrs Ayres said the main problem lawyers face is connecting the treatment the woman is receiving from employers to her pregnancy, or the fact that she has exercised her right to take maternity leave. \"You need to be able to show that the treatment, which can include dismissal, is as a result of the pregnancy or maternity, which is sometimes difficult to prove,\" she explained. Moreover, in 2013 a £1,200 fee was introduced for anyone wanting to take a case to a tribunal. Since then the number of cases being taken for any reason - not just maternity discrimination - has dropped dramatically by 70%. The first thing Ms Brearley is campaigning for is to increase the time limit for taking cases to tribunal from three months to a year. In the six weeks since the project launched, about 50 stories have been posted on the site. She says many more women have contacted her to say they are too scared to share their stories, despite it being anonymous. \"But reading the stories of other victims has made them realise they are not alone and that this isn't their fault. It has given them the strength to confront their own situations,\" she said. \"I hope we can trigger a public debate on why this is still happening, why it's on the increase, and the repercussions for women, the economy and society as a whole.\" Victoria Derbyshire is broadcast weekdays from 09:15-11:00 BST on BBC Two and the BBC News Channel.

            "input": "Over the next year, up to three million people are expected to be in need of food, crop and livestock assistance. The report also says the agricultural sector has lost $1.8bn (£1.15bn) this year as a result of the conflict. The UN says the economic losses are grave, but the humanitarian implications are far more pressing. The report findings are based on a Joint Rapid Food Security Needs Assessment mission, conducted in June 2012, by the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), the UN World Food Programme (WFP) and Syria's Ministry of Agriculture and Agrarian Reform. \"The effects of these major losses are first, and most viciously, felt by the poorest in the country. Most of the vulnerable families the mission visited reported less income and more expenditure - their lives becoming more difficult by the day,\" said WFP Representative and Country Director in Syria Muhannad Hadi. Some of the findings include the following: \"The most vulnerable families in Syria depend entirely or partly on agriculture and farm animals for food and income. They need emergency support, like seeds, repairs to irrigation systems, animal feed and health care,\" said Abdulla Bin Yehia, FAO representative in Syria. \"If timely assistance is not provided, the livelihood system of these vulnerable people could simply collapse in a few months' time. Winter is fast approaching and urgent action is needed before then.\" As well as insecurity, the unavailability of labour, the lack of fuel and the rise in fuel costs, as well as power cuts affecting water supply are contributing factors to the crisis. The sharp drop in remittances to rural households was another blow to an already vulnerable population, the report said. As a result, families are cutting the size and number of meals, eating cheaper lower quality food, buying food on credit, taking children out of school in order to send them to work, selling livestock and other assets, and cutting back on medical and education expenses, the report says. Activists estimate some 20,000 people have died since anti-government protests erupted in March last year.",

One of the event's organisers described the \"horrific\" crash as a \"nightmare\". Hertfordshire Assistant Chief Constable Nathan Briant said the two drivers had been identified and interviewed. He said officers were \"continuing to work with partners to fully understand the events\" and the drivers had been \"interviewed as part of the ongoing investigation\". \"Whilst the events do occur regularly the meeting yesterday evening appeared far larger in nature than previous events, and it is now understood that an organiser had publicised the meeting on social media as a charity event,\" he said. \"Last night we identified more than 130 witnesses and an investigative team has been formed to ensure each of these is contacted to obtain their statements. \"We are also aware of a large number of people leaving the area prior to our arrival, among these are likely also to be further witnesses to the collision.\" Police have asked witnesses to send footage of the crash to detectives. Video footage shows one car passing another before the two collide and one strikes people standing at the roadside while the other hits spectators in the central reservation. One witness said on Twitter: \"I've just witnessed that horrendous crash in Stevenage, no more than 50ft away from me. I'm still trying to process it all.\" Cruise-Herts planned the event on Thursday where people were due to gather to look at modified cars. Organiser Rix Sidhu said he had been organising similar meets for 17 years and the latest was held to raise money for charity. He estimated one of the cars that crashed was travelling at 60 or 70mph and then went into the crowd \"at speed\". Mr Sidhu said: \"We held the meet in a car park with a speed bump at the entrance. But unfortunately some people went a bit rogue. \"We try and stop that, we urge people...not to go out on the roads, not to risk injury or anything. \"But unfortunately, in this age of social media and Snapchat, people want to get footage and post things to their friends, which seems to drive some people to the main road.\" In a statement on Facebook he said they would not be organising any more such events. He also said the police were aware that the group met every Thursday evening, having attended in the past, and said the two drivers involved in the crash were \"not regulars\". At the scene By Adam Jinkerson, BBC News Last night there were hundreds of people here, but this morning the only sign anything happened is an abundance of skidmarks in the adjacent car park - and police markings on the road at the scene of the accident. There are yellow spray-painted markings that seem to indicate where the two cars involved were travelling, the point at which they met - and where they came to rest. Some of those markings are on the pavement. I can also see that first aid was given here. There are are a few bits of medical paraphernalia left among the rubbish, which is now the only other evidence of how many people were gathered here last night. Throughout the morning young people have been turning up to collect their vehicles but they have been too upset to talk about what happened. Fellow organiser Dean Summerbee, 34, said people attending had been warned not to race or do wheel spins and burnouts. He said: \"It was horrific seeing it last night. It still plays over in my head in slow motion. I literally had to pull my mate out of the way. \"My thoughts go out to everyone who has been hurt. It's not something I'd like to relive again. \"I feel sorry for anyone who witnessed it. It was a nightmare last night.\" The section of A-road passes a retail park near Stevenage Football Club. Tom Adams, who lives in Welwyn Garden City and arrived shortly after the crash, said he knew the organisers \"dotted all the Is and crossed all the Ts\" and it was \"not just a gathering of hooligans\" but the event had been let down by a \"bunch of boy racers\". He added: \"There is a select group of people that have no consideration for other people and unfortunately that has come back to bite us.\" Ciaran O'Connor, 33, was travelling home when he witnessed the crash which he described as \"horrific\". Hertfordshire Fire and Rescue Service crews cut free one person trapped in a vehicle and provided \"trauma care\" to a number of injured people. Stevenage Borough Council leader Sharon Taylor said such events were unauthorised and hard to regulate. She said: \"We will do whatever we can to make sure we don't get dreadful incidents like this.

            "input": "The practice, first reported by the Guardian newspaper, has been used to stop a \"significant\" terrorist attack on the US, a senior congressman said. On Wednesday, the newspaper published the secret order directing the Verizon company to hand over telephone data. Civil liberties groups said the details of the report were \"stunning\". Senior US Senator Dianne Feinstein on Thursday confirmed the secret court order was a three-month renewal of an ongoing practice. US House intelligence committee chairman Mike Rogers told reporters collecting Americans' phone records was legal, authorised by Congress and had not been abused by the Obama administration. He said it had prevented a \"significant\" attack on the US \"within the past few years\" but declined to offer more information. Later, White House spokesman Josh Earnest described the practice as a \"critical tool\" enabling US authorities to monitor suspected terrorists. 'Indefensible' The security agencies and Verizon have not commented. The document published by the Guardian was signed by Judge Roger Vinson of the secret Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court on 25 April and lasts until 19 July. It falls under a section of the Bush-era Patriot Act, which allows access to business records for \"foreign intelligence and international terrorism investigations\". The order requires Verizon - one of the largest phone companies in the US - to disclose to the NSA the metadata of all calls it processes, both domestic and international, in which at least one party is in the US. Such metadata includes telephone numbers, calling card numbers, the serial numbers of phones used and the time and duration of calls. It does not include the content of a call or the callers' addresses or financial information. The White House has emphasised the court order did not authorise US government agents to listen in on Americans' telephone conversations. But the government could request a wiretap of specific suspicious numbers from the court, which would allow the government to monitor the calls in real time, record and store them. The measure also contains a gagging order, requiring that \"no person shall disclose to any other person that the FBI or NSA has sought or obtained tangible things under this Order\". Reaction for and against the practice has cut across party lines. \"To simply say in a blanket way that millions and millions of Americans are going to have their phone records checked by the US government is to my mind indefensible and unacceptable,\" Senator Bernie Sanders, a liberal independent, said. Republican Senator Rand Paul said in a statement he would introduce a bill to prevent security agencies from searching phone records without probable cause on Friday. But Republican Senator Lindsey Graham said he had no problem with the practice. \"If we don't do it, we're crazy,\" he said. \"If you're not getting a call from a terrorist organisation, you've got nothing to worry about.\" 'Millions of people' Mark Rumold, a staff attorney at the Electronic Frontier Foundation, told the BBC the court order covered the telephone calls of \"millions and millions of people\". He said the law provided for narrower ways for US officials to gain access to the calls of persons of interest and those who contact them. \"This isn't that,\" Mr Rumold said. \"I believe the NSA has a running map of domestic communications\" enabling officials to track the phone calls of foreign targets to US numbers and then any subsequent calls placed from those numbers. The EFF has suspected authorities had been conducting such surveillance for years. A report appeared in the USA Today newspaper in 2006. Mr Rumold believes the firms do not challenge these orders. The US government has previously said obtaining metadata does not require a warrant because it does not constitute personal information. But rights groups have fiercely criticised the order, with the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) describing it as \"beyond Orwellian\". \"It provides further evidence of the extent to which basic democratic rights are being surrendered in secret to the demands of unaccountable intelligence agencies,\" said Jameel Jaffer, ACLU's deputy legal director. 'Stunned' Two Democratic senators have been pressing the Obama administration to clarify the scope of its public surveillance. Last year, Mark Udall and Ron Wyden wrote to US Attorney General Eric Holder saying they believed \"most Americans would be stunned\" by the government's \"secret legal interpretations\" of the Patriot Act. The White House came under heavy criticism last month after papers were leaked showing it had gathered the phone records of journalists at the Associated Press. The story prompted questions from both Republicans and Democrats in Washington about how the White House was balancing the need for national security with privacy rights. The Obama administration has aggressively investigated disclosures of classified information to the media, bringing more cases against people suspected of leaking such material than any previous administration, correspondents say.",

Ruth Fuller, from Milkwall in Gloucestershire, was unable to attended the inquest at Wem Coroner's Court, but in a statement read to the court she detailed her relationship with her husband. She described him as \"jealous and possessive\" and said he had been violent in the past.

            "input": "Jacob Blake, 29, was shot several times in the back as he entered a car where his three children were seated. His family say he has been left paralysed from the waist down - although doctors do not know if it is permanent. The protests turned violent two days after the incident, when two people killed and one injured in a shooting. A 17-year-old has been arrested. What happened? The shooting of Mr Blake was captured on video - happened shortly after 17:00 on Sunday 23 August. It was only on Wednesday that authorities gave some details about the incident. Wisconsin's Attorney-General Josh Kaul identified the officer involved as Rusten Sheskey. Mr Kaul said officers had been called to an address after a woman reported that \"her boyfriend was present and was not supposed to be on the premises\". While there, they tried to arrest Mr Blake, initially using a taser. After Mr Blake opened his car door, Mr Sheskey - who has been in the Kenosha Police Department for seven years - fired seven shots into Mr Blake's back. \"No other officer fired their weapon,\" Mr Kaul said. Mr Blake has since told investigators that he had a knife in his possession, and Mr Kaul said officers \"recovered a knife from the driver's side floorboard\" of his car. They found no other weapon in the vehicle. The person who shot the video, Raysean White, told CNN that before he began filming, he saw police wrestle, punch and taser Mr Blake. It was then that he started recording. Mr Blake is shown walking around the front of the SUV. The two officers closest to Mr Blake at this point on the video are white males. As he opens the door and leans into the car, one officer can be seen grabbing his shirt and opening fire. Seven shots can be heard in the video, as witnesses shout and scream. Mr White told AP news agency that he heard police officers shout \"Drop the knife!\" before gunfire erupted, but said he didn't see a knife in Mr Blake's hands. Police said that officers had provided immediate aid to Mr Blake, who was taken to hospital afterwards. Lawyers for Mr Blake have said he had been trying to \"de-escalate a domestic incident\" when police drew their weapons. Kenosha Police do not have body cameras, although they do have microphones. How has the family responded? Two days on from the shooting, Mr Blake's family gave an emotional statement to the media. \"They shot my son seven times, seven times, like he didn't matter,\" his father, Jacob Blake Snr said. Mr Blake's lawyer said that, because of his injuries, he has needed nearly all of his colon and small intestine removed, and suffered damage to his kidney, liver and arm. The family have demanded the arrest of the officer who shot Mr Blake, and said other officers involved should be fired. \"People question why we have to say Black Lives Matter: this is why,\" said lawyer Ben Crump. Mr Blake's mother, Julia Jackson, appealed for an end to violent unrest, which she said \"doesn't reflect my son or my family\". The officers involved have been placed on administrative leave while investigations continue. A petition calling for them to be charged has garnered tens of thousands of signatures. And what about the protests? After Mr Blake was shot on Sunday, hundreds of people rallied outside police headquarters in Kenosha. Cars were set alight, armed robberies were reported and a night-time curfew was put in place. The unrest continued for two nights. On the Tuesday, a small group of protesters threw fireworks and water bottles at police, who responded with rubber bullets and tear gas. Police said that law enforcement was spread very thinly, and individuals and groups were exercising a form of vigilantism. Tuesday night's shooting was believed to have involved protesters and armed men guarding a petrol station. On social media, footage showed a man with a rifle being chased by a crowd before he fell to the ground and appeared to fire at them. Other videos show armed civilians, many dressed in military fatigues, outside businesses they said they were protecting. On Wednesday, Kenosha Police Chief Daniel Miskinis confirmed that a 17-year-old from Antioch, Illinois, had been arrested over the deaths of a 26- and a 36-year-old during Tuesday's protests. The injured individual is also 26, and is expected to recover. The suspect has been named as Kyle Rittenhouse. President Donald Trump said on Wednesday he was sending \"federal law enforcement and the National Guard\" to Kenosha. On Wednesday he announced reinforcements of 500 personnel, agreed with Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers, doubling the number already sent. Who is Jacob Blake? Mr Blake was raised in Evanston, near Chicago. His uncle, Justin, told the Chicago Tribune newspaper that he moved to Kenosha several years ago for a job and for his family. \"It was a safer location. He could work and try to save and build a better life,\" said Justin. His family have a long history of community activism. Mr Blake's grandfather, also called Jacob, was a pastor at a church in Evanston, and a local leader in the civil rights movement. He was also a prolific campaigner for affordable housing and led his congregation in constructing a housing block in the city. Justin Blake said Mr Blake continued this tradition of public service and volunteered with Black Urban Recycling - a charity that collects aluminium cans and recycles them to raise money for a community centre in Chicago. Court records show there was an active arrest warrant against Mr Blake, related to charges of sexual assault, trespassing, domestic abuse and disorderly conduct. But it is unclear if police were aware of this at the time of his shooting. What is the wider context? Mr Blake's shooting comes as the US grapples with the treatment of African-Americans at the hands US law enforcement, as well as wider questions about racism in society. Debate has reignited this year after another black man, George Floyd, was killed by Minneapolis police in May. Mr Floyd's death sparked protests around the country, and abroad, and has led to calls for extensive police reform in America.",

He was convicted of manslaughter after he admitted stabbing Mr Lock to death, claiming diminished responsibility. Daley was told he would initially serve his time in a secure mental hospital. Lewes Crown Court heard Daley had paranoid schizophrenia and his mother, Lynda, had pleaded with mental health experts to have him sectioned. She told the court the day she heard Mr Lock had been killed was \"the day that all your nightmares came true\". Daley was charged with murder, but never denied killing Mr Lock on 16 July last year. Daley will be held in Hellingly medium-secure psychiatric hospital in East Sussex under the Mental Health Act. Should his health improve, he will then be transferred to prison. Mr Justice Singh said the killing was a \"violent, unprovoked attack\" in front of members of the public, aggravated partly by Mr Lock's age and the use of a weapon. \"It's clear from the verdict that the defendant's responsibility for the homicide was substantially impaired,\" he said. \"It does not follow that it was completely extinguished.\" Prior to the start of the trial, Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust apologised for not doing more. It has since announced an independent review into 10 killings involving patients known to the Trust, including the case of Matthew Daley. Mr Lock's son Andrew said the sentencing of Daley did not did not remove from the family's memories the horror of what happened. \"However, at least we can move on knowing that the public are properly protected from a man who, whilst badly treated by the NHS by a catalogue of failures, is a danger to the public if not properly supervised and medicated,\" he said. \"It is important to note Mr Justice Singh's observation this was not a public inquiry into the failings of the NHS. \"But it is now up to the NHS that the systematic arrogance that exists in the medical world changes for good and that they wake up to the fact that we all deserve to be listened to.\"",

Foster agencies are now looking to recruit more farmers' wives, as they provide a \"tranquil\" environment, and \"get them away from the rat race and chaos\" of city living. But councils stressed they would continue to accept applications from people of \"any walk of life\". More than 750 extra foster families are needed in south and west Wales alone. Jackie, 61, and Alec, 62, have fostered more than 40 children over 20 years. They currently have four children, aged between eight and 17, living with them on their 26-acre farm in Lampeter, Ceredigion. \"We've been married for 43 years, have two grown-up children of our own and we have five grandchildren,\" said Jackie. \"When our children had left home, we decided to foster. Our application took about 18 months to go through. Then one evening this car pulled up and two half-asleep little boys got out. \"They were supposed to be staying with us for a week - three years down the line they were still here and their little brother had joined us as well. \"Eventually, they all went back to their mum, which shows that sometimes there are happy endings.\" Jackie added: \"Their lives are chaotic in big cities. When they're out here they are away from everything really. \"It's a lovely environment for them. They can ride horses, feed lambs, go fishing, camping - but we make sure they are supervised, they don't just go wandering off. Sense of humour \"There are also health benefits. They eat our vegetables from the farm and they get the fresh air and get to play outside. \"Foster parents need a sense of humour, patience, understanding, empathy and to just give lots of love really. \"It's nice being able to help these children - it's enlightened our lives. I would recommend it to anyone.\" A spokesman for Fostering Network Wales said there was an \"urgent need\" for more people to come forward to foster, but it was essential they had the right skills and qualities to look after someone else's child. \"Fostering services will be looking for those farming families that can provide children with a safe, stable and secure home and are committed to providing the best possible care,\" he said. \"For some children, living on a farm could certainly provide a positive environment while they are unable to live with their own family.\" Barrie Lewis, regional recruitment manager for Pathway Care, an independent agency which finds fostering placements for children in local authorities across south and west Wales, said: \"The shortage at the moment is high when you think how many people can actually foster. \"Out of every 10 queries, we tend to find only one suitable carer. \"We've got a lot of foster families on working farms in west Wales. I'd say we have roughly 25. \"It gets children away from chaos, living in large, busy, hectic households on council estates where there aren't great opportunities.\" He said on farms, children had the chance to do more outdoor activities and have more involvement in country life. \"It's also good to see how other people make a living through farming. It gives them an opportunity to come out of the rat race they're in,\" he said. \"Where else would they be able to go riding horses, feeding lambs and taking animals to market? \"Being in the countryside is particularly good for children who have suffered trauma - it gives them tranquillity and they get a lot more attention because farmers' wives spend more time at home.\"",

            "input": "The scheme, covering the city centre and targeting high-polluting vehicles, was launched on Tuesday morning. Some motorists reported problems as they tried to pay in advance for their journeys when the council announced its decision to delay seeking payment. Councillor Waseem Zaffar said the delay would give drivers \"time to adjust\". \"We always want to give communities that extra time to be able to adjust to such a difficult and challenging project that this Clean Air Zone clearly is,\" the cabinet member for transport and environment said. \"So for the next two weeks we won't be seeking any payment or enforcement of those payments either.\" Mr Zaffar added there were hundreds of people in the city who could still benefit from grants and exemptions available and urged them to apply. \"We're not interested in taking their money, we want green compliant vehicles coming into our city centre,\" he said. The decision will mean high-polluting cars, which face a daily fee of £8 to travel into the centre of the city, and coaches and lorries, which will be charged £50, will not be required to pay for journeys before 14 June. For four weeks after that, drivers will be offered the chance to pay just the daily clean air zone charge rather than a £120 fine if they fail to pay within six days. Analysis By Kathryn Stanczyszyn, BBC WM Political reporter Birmingham's Clean Air Zone launched at midnight - but there was confusion from commuters this morning who were trying to dutifully pay the charge. It only emerged at the official launch at 08:30 BST there was to be a two-week grace period. The city council says it is to help ease the idea in, which isn't unprecedented with large-scale traffic projects like this. But the fact that no-one had an inkling there would be a \"soft launch\" has led to questions over whether it was a late decision and criticism of the way the start of this controversial scheme has been handled. The Conservative opposition says the delay is down to questions over a procurement contract - an official committee \"call-in\" - which means the council cannot start charging yet. Sources tell me that while this may be the case, waiving the charge for the first two weeks was always on the cards, but publicising it could have led to less motivation by motorists to find out more. It's thought there has also been a large number of applications for exemptions over the last few days, which the council says it wants to deal with before starting properly. A government website allows motorists to check if their vehicles will be affected by the new rules. All roads inside the A4540 Middleway ring road fall into the clean air zone, but the circular route itself is not included. The delayed scheme has divided the city, with some criticising the timing of it while businesses attempt to recover from the coronavirus pandemic. However, the local authority said air pollution contributed to 900 premature deaths a year in the city and it faced a £60m fine if it failed to implement the zone.

They were released on Sunday after negotiations. It is the largest school kidnapping in Cameroon's English-speaking regions since separatist unrest began in 2017. Human Rights Watch has accused rebel groups of being behind the kidnapping but they have not yet commented. They have said previous abductions were staged by the government to damage their reputation. The gunmen entered the campus of Saint Augustine's College Nso on Saturday morning and seized 170 students, two security guards, a teacher and three of his children, the Diocesan Director of Communications said in a statement. Rev Elvis Nsaikila added that the authorities of the boarding school had requested parents and guardians to take their children back home as soon as possible as \"the school has closed down\". The Bishop of Kumbo, Georges Nkuo, confirmed to BBC Afrique that the church officials had negotiated the release of the hostages on the condition that the school would shut. \"If the army had intervened, there would have been deaths,\" he said. Saturday's school attack was not the first in the restive Anglophone North West region. A similar incident took place in November last year in the regional headquarter, Bamenda, where more than 80 people, including the principal, a teacher, a driver and 79 students, were kidnapped from the Presbyterian Secondary School Nkwen. The abduction of the school children and staff marked an escalation of the two-year long crisis that has gripped the two English-speaking North West and South West regions. Militias who want to create an independent state called Ambazonia, began to emerge in 2017 after security forces responded violently to protests calling for English to be used in classrooms and courtrooms in Cameroon's Anglophone regions. The country is dominated by its French-speaking majority. The International Crisis Group (ICG) think-tank estimates that around 10 armed separatist groups exist, gaining control of a \"significant proportion of rural areas and main roads\" in the North-West and South-West regions.",

It said that when people used its new engine to search for a Baidu-related service, its rival re-directed them to its own search page. Qihoo said it had now decided to prioritise services other than Baidu's in its results. Baidu did not comment. One analyst said that it was unlikely Qihoo would threaten Baidu's lead in the short term, but the dispute was already frustrating web users. At the moment, Baidu has an 80% share of the Chinese search market. Qihoo, originally an anti-virus provider, launched its search tool on 16 August. The company's chief financial officer Alex Xu told the BBC that Qihoo had noticed Baidu interfering with search results a few days later. \"Every time now users do a search about Baidu, instead of being taken to a particular Baidu website, they are re-directed to Baidu's search homepage. That's not how a web company is supposed to behave - you're affecting the users' experience,\" he said. \"Let's say if you do a map search, and you get a link to a Baidu map in the search result - if you click on it, you don't get a map, you get Baidu's search page. \"So we switched out of Baidu. Starting from today, our search results will emphasise alternative services, to help the user-experience.\" Qihoo's earlier solution was to re-direct users to the cached page of a specific Baidu website. Search engines' wars? Baidu has not faced any strong competitor since Google shut down its Chinese search site at Google.cn and started re-directing visitors to its servers in Hong Kong in 2010. Qihoo aims to change that, and as Mr Xu put it, \"judging by Baidu's reaction, they certainly understand that we are out there, and they certainly treat us very seriously\". But independent analyst Bill Bishop, based in China, told the BBC that it might be tricky for the newcomer to become a real rival. \"It looks like Baidu and Qihoo are in a war, started by Qihoo,\" he said. \"[But] Baidu is still far and away the dominant search provider in China, and it is unlikely that Qihoo would take significant share in the short-term. \"As we saw with Qihoo-Tencent war, the consumers are an afterthought in the unrestrained competition between... companies.\" Previous issues The dispute between Qihoo and Tencent, the firm behind a popular instant messaging platform QQ, happened in 2010. The feud was over alleged privacy infringements, with the two firms blocking each other's products.

            "input": "By Adam FlemingBBC News, Strasbourg MEPs called on the UK to follow EU policies in a host of areas as the price for an ambitious free trade deal. These range from chemicals regulation to climate change, food labelling and subsidies for companies. This should be with \"a view to dynamic alignment\" - code for the UK adopting European rules as they are introduced. The wide-ranging resolution also called for measures to ensure that Brexit does not cause gender discrimination, for a crackdown on tax havens with links to the UK, and for a joint UK-EU position at the upcoming UN climate conference in Glasgow in November. How the EU's language has toughened up It's an attempt to influence the detailed instructions for the EU's chief negotiator Michel Barnier - \"the mandate\" - currently being discussed by the European Commission and the governments of the EU's 27 member states. It's also the latest example of the mandate being toughened up as it passes from institution to institution in the EU. When Mr Barnier published a first draft in early February, there was no mention of alignment and definitely not the automatic kind. Then a new version emerged that had been tweaked by diplomats from national governments. It had extra references to the need for a level playing field - commitments by the UK to fair economic competition to prevent European businesses being undercut by their British rivals. And those commitments would have to evolve over time. A reference to \"building on\" existing access to British waters for European fishing boats was upgraded to \"upholding\" it. The UK's participation in the Galileo satellite positioning system was downgraded from \"should\" to \"could.\" And now MEPs have gone further than all of them. What is the European Parliament hoping to achieve? \"It means we can be bad cop,\" said a senior MEP from the European Parliament's new UK Co-ordination Group. \"Michel Barnier can say to London that he can't do certain things because the Parliament won't accept them.\" That's a tactic Mr Barnier is virtually guaranteed to use. And he will have to take the European Parliament's views into account because it is likely to have a vote on whatever deal emerges from the talks with the UK. MEPs were not willing to oppose the divorce deal, but will they be tougher when it's a free trade agreement that touches on Europe's values and social model? For now the focus is on agreeing the EU's opening position to be finalised at a meeting of European ministers on 25 February. This is about the ambitions at the start, not the compromises at the end. It's also about shaping the terms of the discussion with the UK before it's even begun. MEPs and the entire EU know: if you don't ask, you don't get.",

But as with all figures, context is everything. Doctors are not the only profession seeing a rise in complaints made against them. Everyone from local government officers to those working in the financial sector are seeing more objections made about their conduct. Suffice to say, journalism is no different either. So what do the figures released by the General Medical Council (GMC) tell us? The regulator was pretty adamant it was not a sign standards in care were falling. It said there was no evidence of this and by all other measures - satisfaction surveys and performance ratings - care seemed to be improving. This, it suggested, pointed to a wider cultural shift in society, which had seen expectations grow and tolerance of poor performance shrink. Full-scale investigations It should also be remembered that while complaints have increased by 23%, not all of them are being upheld. Of the 8,781 complaints made in 2011, nearly 5,000 were taken no further after an initial assessment. Of the rest, full-scale investigations were launched in 2,330 cases. Action was taken in slightly more than 500 of those, with just 65 cases - less than the year before - resulting in a doctor being taken off the medical register. Across the whole of the NHS, the number of written complaints jumped by 8% last year - and most of that rise was driven by more trusts submitting data than 12 months previously. Dying needlessly This raises a question about what is driving such a rapid increase. One theory is that with revalidation - dubbed the doctor MOTs - just round the corner, problems that have been glossed over for a number of years are now being dealt with by medical directors who have become more active in reporting issues to the GMC. Another factor that cannot be dismissed is the \"Mid Staffordshire effect\". In 2009, the care regulator published a report branding standards appalling at the Mid Staffordshire NHS Trust and alleging patients had been dying needlessly. Damning report The report, which then led to a public inquiry due to be published later this year, sent shock waves through the system and has ushered in a new culture of accountability and whistle-blowing. The number of complaints made to the GMC has been rising for years. In the two years up to 2009, they increased by 12%. In the two years afterwards, the rise was 52%. What is more, a similar pattern can be seen with complaints made to the Nursing and Midwifery Council. But whatever the reason, the challenge facing both the profession and regulator itself is how to respond to the problems being raised. With finances tighter than they have been for a long-time and a damning report on Mid Staffordshire just months away from being published, the focus on quality of care in the health service has never been greater.",

            "input": "By Ian RoseBusiness reporter \"If you have a little question you can type it in,\" he says, showing off his app, Babylon Health. \"We'll have a doctor respond to your question in minutes.\" Babylon Health is a subscription service which you access via a smartphone app. For a monthly subscription of £4.99 ($7.55/€7.99) customers can get unlimited medical consultations by text and video. Once you've had an online exchange, a doctor can send a prescription to your nearest pharmacy and arrange a referral for a follow-up consultation. \"If you had something wrong and wanted to see a doctor you used to take half a day off and go to the surgery,\" Dr Parsa says. \"Today you can make an appointment in seconds, see a doctor in minutes and get an answer straight away.\" Already, 250,000 people are using Babylon Health in the United Kingdom and Ireland either as direct subscribers or through a private medical insurance policy. Real world or mobile? But can seeing a doctor on your phone compete with visiting one in person? Dr Maureen Baker, who chairs the Royal College of General Practitioners, the professional membership body for family doctors in the UK and overseas, says: \"Mobile phone apps and medical devices have huge potential to support patients and the health professionals who provide their care.\" But she adds: \"We have concerns about the patient safety implications. Patients will be having consultations with GPs who are unfamiliar with - and won't necessarily have access to - their medical history, or information about drugs that they have been prescribed.\" \"Medical histories provided by patients themselves will rarely be as comprehensive as those held by their family doctor. There are also many signs and symptoms that GPs look out for when making a diagnosis that the patient might not think to raise.\" Babylon says that if a patient wants to see a doctor they have already seen on the app they can request it but they may have to wait longer to see them. The company adds: \"Records of all our patient consultations are stored so GPs can look over the history before they speak to a patient. Patients can also access videos and notes from their previous consultations.\" Doctors and patients can also access the medical and health data that many phones now collect. Global ambitions The idea for Babylon came while Ali Parsa was working in the British health system. \"I used to run hospitals,\" he says. \"But most healthcare doesn't have to do with hospitals.\" In 2012, he quit as the boss of the first privately run hospital in Britain's National Health Service and that hospital has since been returned to being run by the NHS. However, the NHS is offering Babylon Health to customers in limited areas and the company tells the BBC that other tie-ups with the service will be announced imminently. Babylon is also looking beyond the UK and Ireland and plans to launch in East Africa in 2016. \"Fifty per cent of the world's population don't have access to the very basic healthcare that they need,\" Ali Parsa says. \"Yet we have a device that they all carry, on which we can deliver healthcare to wherever they are.\" The global application is part of what is making the business investment community interested in Babylon and its competitors. \"As an investor, healthcare or med-tech is hugely important to us,\" says Eileen Burbidge from Passion Capital. \"The addressable market is the whole world - it's every individual in the world. They're going to need healthcare, they require healthcare or they'll benefit from healthcare. \"A company like Babylon Health, by using mobile devices and mobile technology, is hugely interesting because it's not as capital intensive, you don't require quite as much investment as a life-sciences business or a pharmaceutical company.\" But competition is intensifying. \"Self-serve healthcare on your mobile phone sounds massively appealing,\" says Ben Wood of CCS Insight. \"But the challenges are: can it scale? And is this the company which is going to break through, as so many people are chasing the opportunity?\" Ali Parsa is determined to turn Babylon into a global player. \"The biggest problem is to get London to think like Silicon Valley,\" he says. \"If today we can deliver 95% of your healthcare over your mobile phone, imagine what we can do in three years' time, five years' time, 10 years' time.\" The Digital Disruptors is a series about the people and companies shaking up business with new technology.",

            "input": "The Digital, Culture, Media and Sport committee said evidence Alexander Nix gave to its fake news inquiry last month contained \"inconsistencies\". It said this includes his denial the company was supplied data by a firm behind an app that harvested personal details, or worked with Facebook data. Cambridge Analytica denies wrongdoing. Mr Nix was suspended by the London-based political consultancy on Tuesday after footage broadcast on Channel 4 appeared to show him suggesting tactics his company could use to discredit politicians online. In a letter, the committee chairman, Damian Collins, requested Mr Nix supply further evidence following material published in the media this week. He said MPs were interested in asking him about his \"denial that your company received data from the Global Science Research company\" and \"your claim that you 'do not work with Facebook data, and... do not have Facebook data'.\" The parliamentary committee has also called for Facebook boss Mark Zuckerberg to give evidence about its use of personal data. Whistleblower Christopher Wylie, who worked with Cambridge Analytica, claimed it amassed the data of millions of people without their consent through a personality quiz on Facebook called This is Your Digital Life that was created by an academic for Global Science Research. Earlier, a High Court hearing on an attempt by the UK's information commissioner to search the office of Cambridge Analytica was adjourned until Friday. Elizabeth Denham is seeking a warrant to access to the databases and servers of the company amid claims it improperly used data from Facebook users on behalf of political clients. The move is part of her wider investigation into political campaigning. The Information Commissioner's Office said it was seeking a warrant because Cambridge Analytica did not respond to its 7 March request to access records and data it held. Ms Denham has said she was looking at whether personal data was acquired in \"an unauthorised way\", whether there was sufficient consent to share the data, what was done to safeguard it and whether Facebook acted robustly when they found out about the loss of the data. She said Facebook had been told to withdraw from its own search of Cambridge Analytica's offices, saying there were concerns it might damage the integrity of her investigation. Cambridge Analytica says it has been \"fully compliant and proactive\" with the ICO since 2017. In a statement, the company said: \"We have offered to share with the ICO all the information that it asked for and for the ICO to attend our office voluntarily, subject to our agreeing the scope of the inspection. \"We remain committed to helping the ICO and all other concerned organisations in their investigations and audits.\" 'Wild West' Speaking in the Commons, Culture Secretary Matt Hancock said this week's revelations represented a \"turning point\" in the debate on the use of personal information stored online. In response to a question from Labour MP Chi Onwurah, who called for the introduction of a \"digital bill of rights\", Mr Hancock said: \"It is increasingly clear that we need a new settlement with these big tech companies.\" \"This Wild West free-for-all of the internet companies has got to come to an end,\" he added. Shadow digital minister Liam Byrne said it was \"ludicrous\" that a search warrant had still not been obtained by the ICO and suggested it did not have sufficient power to conduct investigations properly. But Mr Hancock said: \"The truth is the data protection bill currently before Parliament is all about strengthening this enforcement and strengthening people's consent.\" Meanwhile, Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn said while the case raised a \"serious issue\" and data harvesting had to be \"dealt with,\" the party would still maintain its Facebook account. It has also emerged that ISBA, a trade body which represents major UK advertisers, will meet Facebook this week. The Times reports if Facebook fails to provide assurances about the security of users' data, advertisers may decide to spend money elsewhere. What is the row about? In 2014, Facebook invited users to find out their personality type via a quiz developed by Cambridge University researcher Dr Aleksandr Kogan called This is Your Digital Life. About 270,000 users' data was collected, but the app also collected some public data from users' friends. Facebook has since changed the amount of data developers can gather in this way, but Whistleblower Christopher Wylie says the data of about 50 million people was harvested for Cambridge Analytica before the rules on user consent were tightened up. He claims the data was sold to Cambridge Analytica - which has no connection with Cambridge University - which then used it to psychologically profile people and deliver pro-Donald Trump material to them. Dr Kogan told BBC Radio 4's Today programme he had been assured by Cambridge Analytica that everything was \"perfectly legal and within the terms of service\" and he was being used as a \"scapegoat\". What other investigations are under way? US senators have called on Mr Zuckerberg to testify before Congress about how his company will protect users, while consumer watchdog the US Federal Trade Commission has also reportedly opened an investigation into Facebook. The head of the European Parliament also said it would investigate to see if the data was misused. On Tuesday a Cambridge University spokesperson said they had \"sought and received assurances\" from Dr Kogan that no University data, resources or facilities were used for his work and they had found no evidence to contradict that, but were writing to Facebook to \"request all relevant evidence in their possession\". There have also been calls for an investigation into the work Cambridge Analytica carried out during the 2013 election in Kenya. How have Facebook and Cambridge Analytica responded? On Wednesday, Facebook co-founder and chief executive Mark Zuckerberg broke cover for the first time since the revelations emerged to say that a \"breach of trust\" had occurred and he was \"really sorry\". Earlier Facebook said users' data was obtained legitimately but Cambridge Analytica failed to delete it when told to do so. A Facebook spokesperson said Dr Kogan was not allowed to transfer data to Cambridge Analytica, a third-party who would use the set for commercial purposes. They added that sharing users' friends data outside the app was also against Facebook's rules. For its part, Cambridge Analytica says in 2014 it had engaged Global Science Research \"in good faith to legally supply data\". Cambridge Analytica says it did delete the data when told to by Facebook. It says it did not use the data as part of the services provided to Donald Trump's presidential campaign. Although Cambridge Analytica suspended chief executive Alexander Nix following his comments to Channel 4 News, the firm said reports on the story had \"grossly misrepresented\" his comments. Before Channel 4 News had broadcast any of the secret filming, Mr Nix told the BBC's Newsnight programme he felt the firm had been \"deliberately entrapped\".",

            "input": "\"From 21 April, North Korea will stop nuclear tests and launches of intercontinental ballistic missiles,\" the country's state news agency said. Mr Kim said further tests were unnecessary because Pyongyang's nuclear capabilities had been \"verified\". The surprise announcement comes as North Korea prepares for historic talks with South Korea and the US. Mr Kim is due to meet his South Korean counterpart Moon Jae-in next week for the first inter-Korean summit in over a decade, and US President Donald Trump by June. Both countries have been pushing Pyongyang to denuclearise and they reacted positively to the latest development. \"This is very good news for North Korea and the World - big progress!\" Mr Trump tweeted after the announcement. On Thursday, the US leader said there was a \"bright path available to North Korea when it achieves denuclearisation\". A spokesperson for the South Korean president called the North's move \"meaningful progress\". \"It will also contribute to creating a very positive environment for the success of the upcoming South-North summit and North-United States summit,\" a statement from Mr Moon's office said. China, North Korea's main ally, also welcomed the move, saying it would \"help ameliorate the situation on the peninsula\". Why has Pyongyang halted tests? The decision to suspend missile launches was made during a meeting of the ruling party's central committee on Friday, the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) said. In a statement quoted by the agency, Mr Kim said it was no longer necessary to conduct missile tests because \"nuclear weaponisation\" had been achieved. \"The northern nuclear test site has completed its mission,\" he said. This echoes a previous statement made during a New Year address in which Mr Kim declared his nuclear and ballistic missile programmes completed. After six nuclear tests North Korea may feel it does not need to upgrade its existing designs, says the BBC's Laura Bicker in Seoul. Although Pyongyang said it would abolish its nuclear test site, there is no indication it is planning to get rid of its existing weapons. The decision to halt missile tests is also aimed at pursuing economic growth, according to KCNA. Mr Kim reportedly pledged to \"concentrate all efforts\" on developing a socialist economy during Friday's meeting. The summit is the prize By Ankit Panda, senior fellow at the Federation of American Scientists These concessions from North Korea have come before the two anticipated summits with the US and South Korea. One may wonder why Mr Kim should give up so much in advance instead of hanging on to a nuclear test-ban and an ICBM moratorium as aces up his sleeve. The answer is simple: a summit with a US president is enough of a prize in itself. For Mr Kim, it's something that neither his grandfather nor his father could attain. What North Korea loses by demolishing its nuclear test site and submitting to a unilateral moratorium on ICBM launches is entirely tolerable compared to what Mr Kim gains by sitting alongside President Trump. Read Ankit Panda's full analysis here When and where might a Trump-Kim summit take place? Mr Trump surprised the international community last month by accepting Pyongyang's suggestion for direct talks. It would be unprecedented for a sitting US president to meet a North Korean leader. He has said the summit will take place either in early June or \"a little before that\" and that several sites are under consideration. Experts have speculated that a location for talks could be the Demilitarised Zone between North and South Korea, another Asian country, or a neutral European country. Speaking on Thursday, President Trump said that if he did not think the meeting would be successful he would not go, and if the meeting went ahead but was not productive, he would walk out. \"Our campaign of maximum pressure will continue until North Korea denuclearises,\" he said. Major North Korean missile tests North Korea has carried out numerous missile tests. Some of these exploded shortly after launch, but others travelled for hundreds of miles before landing in the sea. Here are some of the major tests reported so far: 12 February 2017 - A medium-range ballistic missile launched from Banghyon air base near the west coast. It flew east towards the Sea of Japan for about 500km. 4 July 2017 - Pyongyang claimed to have successfully tested an intercontinental ballistic missile for the first time. Officials said it reached an altitude of 2,802km and flew for 39 minutes. 29 August 2017 - North Korea fired what is thought to be its first nuclear-weapon capable ballistic missile over Japan. It was launched from near Pyongyang and reached a height of about 550km. 15 September 2017 - A ballistic missile was fired across Japan for the second time and landed in the sea off Hokkaido. It reached an altitude of about 770km and travelled 3,700km. 29 November 2017 - North Korea said it had successfully tested a new type of intercontinental ballistic missile that could reach the whole of the continental US. The Hwasong-15 missile landed in Japanese waters but flew higher than any other missile the North had previously tested.",

But anti-multiculturalism group Party for Freedom still plans to go ahead with its event on Saturday. The party's spokesman, Nick Folkes, told the BBC his group respected the local community and had complied with requests from authorities to stage the rally at a park away from the intended site at Cronulla beach. \"We're not going down to start a riot, that's not our intention at all. We understand that Cronulla is a beautiful place,\" Mr Folkes said. \"What happened 10 years ago protected [it], Cronulla's remained pretty peaceful and they haven't had gangs coming in,\" Mr Folkes said. Cronulla race riot: how it happened 'Trauma' for Cronulla Mr Folkes says that some locals support his point of view, but community leaders are adamant that the views of the Party for Freedom are not widely held in Cronulla. Chamber of commerce spokeswoman Annette Tasker said the rally would be disastrous for local businesses. Business owners blamed the riots for a sharp drop in business in the years following 2005, with some reporting drops in trade of up to 50%. \"The trauma that business owners suffered 10 years ago is of no concern to [Party for Freedom] whatsoever,\" Ms Tasker said. \"Some people didn't make it, they just didn't make it. You can only suffer financial loss for so long. \"It's very hard to overcome fear in a business.\" Sutherland Shire Deputy Mayor Hassan Awada, a Muslim who came to Australia from Lebanon, ran a barber shop in Cronulla at the time of the riot. He said in the wake of the riots he was inundated with support. \"I could not count the number of people who walked into my shop to basically let me know and reassure me that after what happened they were just as disappointed as I was,\" Mr Awada said. \"They destroyed the local area's reputation [then] and this group is doing exactly the same, claiming to come to the area to support the Australian way of life, but ... destroying it.\" 'Perfect storm' Police say there will be a large police presence in Cronulla on Saturday. New South Wales Police Commissioner Andrew Scipione will make an official statement later in the week. Referring to the events of 2005, Mr Scipione told Australia's 60 Minutes in November: \"The place was just swimming with alcohol, large crowds, a lot of emotion and then the build of the heat. All of those together, it's almost like a perfect storm.\" The Party for Freedom follows an agenda largely focused on preventing Muslims from immigrating to Australia. It was one of the groups involved with Reclaim Australia. The Reclaim Australia movement has pushed anti-immigration groups into the media spotlight recently with several series of rallies held in major cities this year. A loose coalition of groups with widely varying agendas, the common in the movement's Australia's ideology is opposition to Islam and a perception that the government kowtows to minority groups.",

Among the 12 forces also able to provide figures from 2009, there was an overall 47% rise in such incidents. Honour attacks are punishments on people, usually women, for acts deemed to have brought shame on their family. 'Mutilations' Such attacks can include acid attacks, abduction, mutilations, beatings and in some cases, murder. Ikwro said its research, carried out between July and November, is the best national estimate so far of the extent of honour violence in Britain, although the charity says the figures do not give the full picture. They found that eight police forces had recorded more than 100 honour-based attacks each in 2010. The Metropolitan Police had the most at 495, followed by West Midlands (378), West Yorkshire (350), Lancashire (227), Greater Manchester (189), Cleveland (153), Suffolk (118) and Bedfordshire (117). Of the 12 police forces able to provide 2009 comparison figures, nine recorded a rise in attacks and three saw totals fall. The biggest rise was in Northumbria, which saw figures leap by 305% from 17 in 2009 to 69 in 2010, followed by a 154% jump in Cambridgeshire from 11 to 28. A quarter of police forces in the UK were unable or unwilling to provide data and communities have often been reluctant to talk about the crime, Ikwro said. Its director Diana Nammi said families often tried to deny the existence of honour attacks and those who carried them out were \"very much respected\". She told the BBC: \"The perpetrators will be even considered as a hero within the community because he is the one defending the family and community's honour and reputation.\" She added that there was not enough support for victims, and many needed continuing help and protection. \"For some cases, police and some organisations just help them up to a length of time, then they will stop,\" she said. \"With honour-based violence, the threat may be a lifetime threat for them.\" 'Significant number' Ikwro's report said: \"This is the first time that a national estimate has been provided in relation to reporting of honour-based violence. \"The number of incidents is significant, particularly when we consider the high levels of abuse that victims suffer before they seek help.\" The Metropolitan Police said its domestic violence training for officers included the issues of honour-based violence and forced marriage. The force said that in addition each of the 32 London boroughs had a community safety unit, with a total of more than 560 specially trained officers. A spokesman said: \"The Metropolitan Police Service has been on a significant journey regarding how we police honour-based violence over the past decade, and has played an instrumental part in developing work in this field. \"We have used our organisational learning over the years to inform our current policies, staff training and operating procedures. \"We know that like other hate crimes, honour-based violence is under-reported however, and remain very concerned about this.\" The Association of Chief Police Officers (Acpo) published a strategy in 2008 aimed at gauging the scale of the problem and recommending that all English and Welsh forces start recording the number of honour incidents. Of the UK's 52 forces, 45 have now done that, although there is no national guidance in Scotland. The 52 comprise 39 in England, four in Wales, eight in Scotland, and the Police Service of Northern Ireland. Commander Mak Chishty, the Association of Chief Police Officers lead for honour-based violence, said he was satisfied the 2008 strategy was being implemented. \"We're now in consultation on a new strategy. All front-line staff have received awareness training and every force has a champion on honour-based abuse. \"Acpo is confident that any victim who comes to us will receive the help they need.\" A Home Office spokesman said: \"We are determined to end honour violence and recognise the need for greater consistency on the ground to stop this indefensible practice. \"Our action plan to end violence against women and girls sets out our approach to raise awareness, enhance training for police and prosecutors and better support victims.\"",

The Department for Transport said the design, operation and enforcement of bus lanes were the responsibility of the local authority while the LGA disputed the AA's claims saying there was \"scant evidence\" to back them up.

The restaurant and retail industries have been under intense pressure this year due to rising costs and a squeeze on consumer spending, leading to several High Street names closing outlets. Carluccio's was recently given approval for a restructuring programme that could see it close dozens of restaurants, putting 500 jobs in doubt. Other chains which have been shutting stores include Byron, Prezzo and Jamie's Italian.",

Ruling nothing out Mr Martin said there was a serious realisation that there had to be a different approach to government and did not dismiss the idea of creating a rotating Taoiseach (Irish prime minister) with Fine Gael. \"We have ruled nothing in or ruled nothing out,\" he told RTÉ's Today with Sean O'Rourke. \"Fianna Fáil is upfront in saying that a government can be formed, but other political parties have to make decisions for themselves.\" He said a lot of useful work could get done in the coming weeks and the formation of government does not need to take as long as 2016.

Sri Lanka has rejected the allegations, saying that a rehabilitation process is under way after years of conflict. Last week Commonwealth foreign ministers agreed to hold the summit in Colombo despite objections by Canada. The next Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) is set to take place in Colombo in November and Sri Lanka would then represent the Commonwealth as its chair for the next two years. Canada's Foreign Minister John Baird has said he was \"appalled\" that Sri Lanka had been chosen to host the meeting, arguing it had failed in the fundamental Commonwealth values of \"freedom, democracy, human rights, the rule of law and good governance\". Dismissing Canada's objections, Sri Lanka's cabinet spokesman and information minister Keheliya Rambukwella told the BBC: \"We have dealt with this human rights issue and we feel they are very biased and very unfair.\" But Amnesty International's report, released on Tuesday, echoed some of the criticisms. It says that journalists, lawyers, human rights activists and opposition politicians are among those who have been targeted in what the report calls \"government-sanctioned abuse\". \"Violent repression of dissent and the consolidation of political power go hand in hand in Sri Lanka,\" Polly Truscott, Amnesty International's deputy Asia Pacific director, said in the report. \"Over the past few years we have seen space for criticism decrease. There is a real climate of fear in Sri Lanka, with those brave enough to speak out against the government often having to suffer badly for it.\" It said that human rights violations must end before Colombo is allowed to go ahead with hosting the meeting. The Sri Lankan High Commission in London rejected the group's allegations, saying that a rehabilitation process is under way after years of conflict. Sri Lanka's army defeated Tamil rebels after a brutal 26-year war in 2009. The entire conflict left at least 100,000 people dead. Both sides were accused of human rights abuses throughout the conflict, with much focus on what happened in its final stages, when thousands of civilians were trapped in a thin strip of land in the north of Sri Lanka as fighting raged around them. Estimates of civilian deaths in the final months range widely from 9,000 to 75,000. Last month the UN's Human Rights Council passed a resolution highly critical of Sri Lanka's record. The resolution encouraged Sri Lanka to conduct an independent and credible investigation into alleged war crimes.",

The Judicial Conduct board said Judge Sam Benningfield's order was \"improper\" and \"could unduly coerce inmates into undergoing a surgical procedure\". The plan was rescinded in July after the judge was sued by ex-prisoners. In a letter publicly released on Monday, the Tennessee Judicial Conduct board said that Judge Benningfield had violated rules requiring judges to \"act at all times in a manner that promotes public confidence\" in the judicial system. ‘We took birth control for shorter jail term' \"You have acknowledged that even though you were trying to accomplish a worthy goal in preventing the birth of substance addicted babies,\" the board wrote, \"you now realise that this order could unduly coerce inmates into undergoing a surgical procedure which would cause at least a temporary sterilisation, and it was therefore improper\". The letter noted that the judge did not object to the reprimand. The White County judge rescinded the order in July after the state Board of Health said they would not offer free procedures and the local district attorney campaigned against the scheme, saying his staff would not take part \"in any way\". In rescinding the order, the judge announced that any prisoner who volunteered and took \"serious and considered steps toward their rehabilitation\" would still receive the 30-day credit. A federal lawsuit filed in August accused the judge and White County Sheriff Oddie Shoupe of a \"modern day eugenics scheme\". When the plan was first announced in May, Judge Benningfield described his goal as an attempt to break a \"vicious cycle\" of drug addicts having children they cannot afford. \"I hope to encourage them to take personal responsibility and give them a chance, when they do get out, to not to be burdened with children,\" he told WTVF-News. \"This gives them a chance to get on their feet and make something of themselves.\" In August, he told BBC News that he was \"surprised\" by the negative reaction. \"My number one concern was about children,\" he said. \"To me a lot of controversy got started when everybody used the word sterilisation. Because it was never about that - it was never forced.\" Men who volunteered for the programme were to be given vasectomies and women who signed up were to receive implants of Nexplanon, which can prevent pregnancy for up to four years. One woman who received the implant told BBC News that she now regrets her decision. \"I feel like we were guinea pigs,\" Deonna Tollison said. \"People will do anything to get out of there.\" Lawyers who are suing the county say that 42 men signed up, but the programme was cancelled before they were underwent operation.",

An eight-week extension to the original six-week trial was due to end on 18 December. Farming Minister George Eustice claimed the extension to the cull had been \"worthwhile\". It has not yet been revealed how many badgers have been killed during the extension period. The number is due to be announced by Defra on Monday. The pilot scheme was extended after marksmen killed only 708 badgers, about 30% of the local badger population. The target had been 70%. Natural England said it had pulled the plug as the cull was set to miss a revised target of 58%. A spokesman said: \"There is no realistic prospect of the cull removing the number of badgers required by the licence. \"It has been discussed and agreed by Natural England that the cull will end at 12 noon tomorrow.\" 'Fiasco' Natural England added that the decision to end the extension early \"does not affect the original licence granted last year, which remains in place and which allows culling operations to take place for four years in west Gloucestershire\". Government ministers and the NFU say culling badgers will curb TB in cattle, but critics assert it has little effect. A similar cull pilot in Somerset ended last month after it also failed to meet its target even after a three-week extension. In that area there was an estimated 65% reduction in the badger population - the target was 70%. Mr Eustice said the extension to the cull had \"removed a significant number of badgers which will make a difference to disease control in the area\". Mark Jones from Humane Society International (HSI) UK said he was \"relieved\" that \"at long last some common sense is being applied and the government's badger cull fiasco will finally be over for the time being at least\". \"In the face of what has been the dismal failure of this policy, we commend Natural England for making the sensible decision to revoke the cull licence,\" he added. \"They should have acted sooner and it is deeply regrettable that hundreds of badgers in Gloucestershire and Somerset have already paid for this ill-conceived policy with their lives.\" 'Bad for badgers' Ian Johnson from the National Farmers Union (NFU) said the company carrying out the cull had done an \"extremely good job\". \"They were doing the culls to test humaneness, safety and efficacy. \"They've ticked at least two of those boxes. It remains to be seen as to the efficacy. \"To a degree numbers are arbitrary because you're talking about a disease which is out of control, and a disease which is as bad for badgers as it is for cattle. \"Anybody that opposes dealing with the disease in flying in the face of animal welfare.\" A spokesperson for Gloucestershire Against Badger Shooting (GABS) said the news was a \"huge relief\".

As a member of President Moon Jae-in's liberal Democratic Party, Mr Park was reportedly under consideration as a potential presidential hopeful in the 2022 elections. Analysis: A death mired in controversy Laura Bicker, BBC News, Seoul Mayor Park Won-soon was well liked for a reason. As a lawyer, he had fought to further the cause of women - winning the country's first sexual harassment case. He highlighted this country's many economic inequalities, once even spending a month in a cramped home in a poor part of the city. He fought against authoritarian rule in South Korea and was put in prison in the 1970's as a college student, and went on to win an unprecedented third term as mayor of Seoul. But his death is now mired in controversy. We may now never get to the truth behind the claims of sexual harassment filed against him just hours before his death. The investigation has been dropped which means there will be no further inquiry into potentially serious issues within one of the highest political offices in the country. There will also be no justice - either for his alleged victim or for him. If you or someone you know are feeling emotionally distressed, BBC Action Line has more information.

As many as one in ten women of child-bearing age have it, and a further one in ten of those have the severe form, Mr Poots is due to attend a conference organised to make the case for a specialist clinic. The minister agreed to attend after meeting a number of women who described how endometriosis had affected them. One of those women is Robyn Acheson, who described the pain as being \"like a rusty hook dragged around inside you\". \"Everything you do, no matter how you stand or sit, makes it worse - it just completely takes over,\" she said. \"Statistics show that one in 10 women have endometriosis - that's the same amount as diabetes, but while everyone knows what diabetes is and how to treat it, no-one knows about endometriosis. \"Having a centre would not only raise its profile, but would also help those of us who suffer and their families.\" 'Unbearable pain' Campaigners claim the lack of a clear strategy to diagnose and treat women with severe endometriosis is leading to unnecessary suffering, wastage within the health service and even infertility if it is not diagnosed in time. Dr Pamela Bell of the Pain Alliance of Northern Ireland said a dedicated service could be set up \"quickly and cost-effectively\". \"Our key consideration is speeding up the time it takes to achieve a diagnosis, as there is a serious problem with misdiagnosis leading to delays in treatment,\" she said. \"The often tragic outcome of that delay is the fact that many women are unable to have children by the time diagnosis is made and treatment provided. \"In tandem with that, many women suffer unbearable pain which has a massive impact on their lives, their relationships and their careers. \"Severe endometriosis is a terrible affliction, but we can make real strides in its diagnosis and treatment, and we are hopeful that the positive, listening approach we have met from the department and the Health and Social Care Board so far will be matched by action.\"",

PM Benjamin Netanyahu hailed his military's \"major operational effort\". Israel is believed to have carried out hundreds of strikes in Syria since civil war broke out there in 2011, to try to prevent Iran gaining a foothold. An Israeli military spokesman said the strikes on Saturday targeted the Quds Force of the Iran's Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) in Aqraba, south-east of the capital, Damascus. A Syrian military source quoted by the official Sana news agency said that Syrian anti-aircraft defences \"detected enemy targets from Golan heading towards the area around Damascus\". \"The aggression was immediately confronted and so far the majority of the enemy Israeli missiles have been destroyed before reaching their targets,\" the source said. In a tweet, Mr Netanyahu said: \"I reiterate: Iran has no immunity anywhere. Our forces operate in every sector against the Iranian aggression. 'If someone rises up to kill you, kill him first.'\" The head of the Iranian-backed Lebanese militant group Hezbollah, Hassan Nasrallah, said two Lebanese nationals had been killed in the Israeli strike, which he said targeted Hezbollah positions. 'Blatant attack' Separately, reports said two Israeli surveillance drones had come down in the Lebanese capital, Beirut. Hezbollah officials said an unmanned drone fell on the roof of a media centre belonging to the group, and was followed by a second unmanned drone that exploded in mid-air and crashed nearby. Hassan Nasrallah denounced the attack, saying that it was the first since the two sides fought a brief war 13 years ago. The group would prevent any future attacks, he said, adding: \"The time when Israeli aircraft come and bombard parts of Lebanon is over.\" Residents told the Associated Press they heard a large explosion that shook the area, after hearing the sound of an aircraft. Israel's military declined to comment on the reports. Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri called Israel's alleged surveillance drones a \"blatant attack on Lebanon's sovereignty\". \"This new aggression... forms a threat to regional stability and an attempt to push the situation towards more tension,\" he said in a statement. Israel reportedly also carried out an airstrike last month on a weapons depot in Iraq. The New York Times, citing unnamed US officials, said that Israel was behind the 19 July strike on an arms depot that the officials said was being used by Iran to move weapons to Syria.

It added the spin-off would \"focus on the evolution\" of the character before he came to represent crystal meth kingpin Walter White. AMC did not say when production was due to start or when the show would air. The title of the prequel is taken from a season two episode of Breaking Bad where Walt and his business partner Jesse hire Goodman after seeing the lawyer's TV commercial featuring the slogan, \"Better Call Saul!\". With Goodman serving as the comic relief in the original series, the spin-off is expected to be more comedic than Breaking Bad. Creator Vince Gilligan first hinted at the possibility of a series centred around the scheming lawyer last year. \"I think a Saul Goodman show could have great legs,\" he told Entertainment Weekly. \"I love the idea of a lawyer who will do anything to avoid going to court. He's always going to settle on the courthouse steps.\" 'Happy to do it' Actor Odenkirk also said in an interview in April he was excited at the prospect of a spin-off. \"Vince is still really busy with the show, so we haven't talked very in-depth about it, but he clearly thinks it's a possibility,\" he told Vulture. \"And I've certainly told him that if there was some way to see more of Saul, then I would be happy to do it.\" According to industry website Deadline, the spin-off has been in the works for months, however protracted talks between AMC and Sony Pictures delayed an agreement. Other networks and outlets - including subscription site Netflix - had reportedly been interested in picking up the show had negotiations between AMC and Sony Pictures failed. The show is expected to receive the go-ahead for a full series once contracts and licensing agreements are finalised. Breaking Bad is set to end this month after five series. Its stars have won five Emmys, including three acting accolades for lead star Bryan Cranston and two for Aaron Paul, who plays Walt's former student-turned-business partner Jesse Pinkman.

The town's Marks & Spencer store is earmarked for closure and the former BHS has been empty since 2016. The Conservative deputy leader of Northampton Borough Council has admitted the authority does not know how to improve the town's fortunes. Councillor Phil Larratt said: \"M&S will be a great loss, but that won't be the end of it because Debenhams is on a knife-edge. \"Everything is changing so much and so quickly that we don't know what the answer is.\" 'Ghost town' Rushden Lakes, a major out-out-town development 15 miles away, opened in July and free weekend parking in Northampton town centre came to an end this year. Michella Dos Santos said she would shut her Magic Bean Emporium cafe in St Giles Street in the summer after a \"huge decline\" and she knew other small businesses which were thinking of doing the same. She said: \"It was definitely the opening of Rushden Lakes and then the added problem of no free parking definitely added coal to the fire.\" Marks & Spencer announced proposed store closures last month, which included its Abington Street branch in Northampton, where there are 96 jobs. The company said it was a \"difficult decision\" but that it was committed to its new Rushden Lakes branch, which offers a \"better experience\" for customers. Mr Coles, a former member of pop group The Communards, BBC Radio Four presenter and Strictly Come Dancing celebrity contestant, hit out in a post on Twitter, in which he accused the retailer of \"abandoning\" Northampton. He said the town centre was \"decaying\", prompting responses from his Twitter followers who described it as \"almost a ghost town\" and \"increasingly hollowed out\". But the Finedon vicar, who is also the chancellor of the University of Northampton, said all was not lost. \"The university is opening a £330m new campus at the edge of the town centre which promises to bring much needed regeneration,\" he said. \"We have a great theatre, museums and civic buildings also.\" Danielle Stone, leader of the Labour group on the Northampton Borough Council, blamed the drop in footfall on \"de-pedestrianising Abington Street and allowing every application for betting shops, charity shops, pound shops, pawn brokers\". She called for new cycle routes, family bus passes and free parking. Councillor Jonathan Nunn, Tory leader of Northampton Borough Council insisted changes in parking charges had not had a \"significant impact\" on footfall.

It has applied to the National Heritage Memorial Fund (NHMF) which is currently considering the proposals. Nichola Fletcher, who chairs the TST, said if the bid was unsuccessful the house could be sold on the open market which would be a \"huge tragedy\". Artist and designer Tim Stead was renowned for his work with wood with public commissions including furniture for the Glasgow restaurant Cafe Gandolfi and the Papal Throne for the visit of Pope John Paul II to Edinburgh in 1982. The Steading became his family home in 1980 and he refurbished the interior and created all the furniture and fittings out of local wood before his death in 2000. The trust was formed in 2015 with a view to safeguarding the property and its contents and has examined a range of possible funding sources to purchase the building from Mr Stead's widow, Maggy, who is supportive of their efforts. \"For myself I say it is the best outcome that the TST acquires the house and the collection,\" she said. However, if the NHMF funding bid fails, it could end up being sold on the open market in the new year. The trust hopes to buy the house to open it up to the public as a \"complete centre for everything Tim Stead stood for\". \"He is very visual and tactile in his work and without seeing the pieces and feeling them it is difficult to enthuse,\" said Ms Fletcher. \"As soon as they walk around the house everybody just says: 'Wow, I see what you mean now.'\" The property was given A listing by Historic Environment Scotland earlier this year which was followed by the bid - assisted by the Art360 Foundation - for NHMF support. If successful in buying the property, the trust would then seek further funding for its plans to develop it. One element would be to safeguard and preserve the building and its contents and make them accessible to the public. It also wants to provide educational opportunities, encourage wood working skills and organise workshops for people of all abilities. \"It is a wonderful place to come to be inspired,\" said Ms Fletcher. However, without funding she said the site could face a very different fate. \"At the moment a lot of what is in the house is protected by the category A listing,\" she said. \"But there are a lot of pieces in there which are iconic pieces - made for that house, made for those spaces - which will go.\" She said it could mean that an \"awful lot of what makes it what it is\" would no longer be in the building. \"That would go off to auction,\" said Ms Fletcher. \"That would be a huge tragedy, it would be pretty heart-breaking.\" The NHMF, which was set up to safeguard the most important national heritage at risk, said it was currently developing its response to the coronavirus crisis and was only accepting applications from \"urgent cases\". \"We have received a project inquiry from Tim Stead Trust which is currently under review as to whether it can be accepted as an urgent application,\" a spokesperson said.

Last year, six Thanet beaches lost their Blue Flags - Margate Main Sands, Minnis Bay, Ramsgate Main Sands, St Mildred's Bay in Westgate, Stone Bay in Broadstairs and West Bay in Westgate. However, all six beaches were awarded Quality Coast Awards, which show they have achieved the highest standards of beach management.

'Quality dips' Councillor Neil Baker, who is in charge of the beaches at Herne Bay and Tankerton, said they had not received the award for a few years. \"The reason we lost the Blue Flag previously was because all it takes is a couple of days of heavy rainfall - surface water ends up in the sea, and the water quality dips,\" he said. \"It's completely outside of our control. We can control the cleanliness... but when it comes to what's ended up in the sea we're open to the elements.\" Mr Baker added that the council was in regular contact with Southern Water to ensure the water quality was as high as possible.

His lawyer says he is being treated in hospital in northern Liaoning Province after being diagnosed a month ago. His wife Liu Xia has been under house arrest since her husband won the award in 2010 but has never been charged. Liu Xiaobo, 61, was a key leader in the Tiananmen Square protests in 1989. The Chinese authorities have never explained why they have restricted his wife's movements. Mr Liu's brother confirmed the Nobel laureate had been diagnosed with cancer on 23 May, his lawyer Mo Shaoping told the South China Morning Post. He was released days later and is now being treated in the northern city of Shenyang. \"He has no special plans. He is just receiving medical treatment for his illness,\" Mo Shaoping told AFP news agency. A statement from the government in Liaoning said Mr Liu had been released on medical parole and was being treated by eight tumour experts. Fighting for change from within - Stephen McDonell, BBC News, Beijing Most people in China have never heard of Liu Xiaobo due to the censorship of discussion about him here. That it could take a month for news of his release to become public gives you an idea of the level of sensitivity. It also shows that his transfer to hospital by no means guarantees his friends and family will be able to visit. After the brutal crackdown in and around Tiananmen Square in 1989 Mr Liu was driven to the front gate of the Australian embassy and an Australian diplomat said that he had to choose in or out. He decided not to leave, believing he could be more effective trying to make change from within. This commitment to a very different China has led to him paying a terrible price. The Nobel committee described Liu Xiaobo as \"the foremost symbol\" of the human rights struggle in China. He never collected his prize and was represented by an empty chair.

Police said screenshots of this exchange were shared on social media. Five people from Hindu hardline groups also visited her house on Saturday to warn her parents, police say. The 20-year-old killed herself the same day. The police initially registered a case of suicide, but widened their investigation after reports about the role of social media in her death started to emerge on Monday. K Annamalai, a senior police officer Chikkamagaluru district, told the BBC that the woman had left a suicide note. \"She has mentioned that there was a photo of her with a man from another religious community. People started commenting about it and cast aspersions on her character,\" he said. He added that he killed herself after five persons went to her house and \"complained to her mother that she was in love with a Muslim man.\" He added that the police had arrested one person, and were searching for others. 'A young life lost' BBC Hindi's Imran Qureshi, who has seen the screenshots, said her WhatsApp messages were quickly shared in the district.

She replies: \"But I love Muslims.\" She adds that she doesn't find anything wrong in being \"associated\" with members of any religious community. Mr Annamalai said \"whoever has criticised the woman, whether on Facebook or WhatsApp, would be arrested\". \"We believe it amounts to harassment due to which a young life has been lost. We are taking this case seriously because it wasn't her fault,\" he added. In recent years, India has witnessed Hindu-Muslim tensions over what has come to be known as \"love jihad\".

But her son David, 18, ordered her go to Morriston Hospital where she spent over two months in intensive care. Julia said: \"Doctors told me he saved my life\". Julia, who lost four stone (25kg) and who still struggles to walk and eat, begged people to follow social distancing and lockdown rules. \"When I see the crowds and the partying, it makes me feel horrified for them because they think it's funny and it's not, it's a horrible disease,\" she said. Julia became ill and, after her son insisted she go, she was admitted to hospital in Swansea on 27 March, before being taken to intensive care. With her family not allowed to visit, doctors warned her husband David in an emotional phone call that she had less than a 10% chance of survival. She was placed on a ventilator for 45 days - and still remembers the moment she came round with all the medics around her. \"You can't move your arms, you can't move your body, all of your body is quite still and it's horrific,\" said Julia, mother to Chloe, 13, and David, 18. \"They bring you around quietly with lovely little voices talking to you, saying 'are you alright Julia? Everything's OK, you're with us'. \"Maybe I'm a survivor, but I have to put it down to the great team in intensive care; the doctors, the consultants and all the staff saved my life.\" Julia, who has suffered muscle wastage due to weeks of lying unconscious in a hospital bed, is now trying to regain her strength but needs help with daily tasks. But she admits there were days after she was taken off the ventilator when she did not want to carry on. \"The doctors, the nurses and my family are the heroes,\" she said. \"They kept me going when I wanted to give up, I didn't want the pain in my legs. I wanted to eat and walk, I wanted to shower like normal people. \"They're always pushing you to fight, to live, to survive.\" Her husband David, a 51-year-old coach driver, said it was \"unbelievable\" she had survived. \"I couldn't be prouder of her, the strength she's found to come through this virus,\" he said. Now back at home, Julia has regular visits from physiotherapy technician Adam Fulham who also looked after her in the intensive therapy unit. \"Julia was very poorly, she lost a lot of muscle, but she's come on massively. It brings a smile to everyone's face to see how well she's doing,\" he said. But he said for many Covid-19 patients the psychological impact of the virus could be even more difficult than their physical recovery. \"Sometimes there are a lot of tears, they just want to go home and get back to what they were doing, but starting to rebuild is a long process,\" he said. Julia said she could not wait to regain her strength and was planning a short break with her family once lockdown restrictions were eased. But she urged people to wear masks, to avoid parties and to stick to social distancing rules. \"I'm not trying to frighten anyone. Please listen to the guidelines, you might think it won't happen to you, but it happened to me, so what are the chances that it could happen to you?\"",

The projects must be \"shovel-ready\", meaning able to be completed quickly. Stations such as Wantage Road, Oxon, which was closed to passengers in 1964, and Kenilworth, Warks, which was shut in 1965, are thought to be contenders. Others include Peterlee, in County Durham, Ilkeston, Derbyshire, and Rushden, Northamptonshire. The government is encouraging local authorities, train operating companies and developers to apply for the funding. A spokesman for the Department for Transport said proposed new stations must be at a well developed stage and the plans supported by train operating companies and Network Rail. 'Anyone credible' The fund - which was announced in July last year - is being managed by Network Rail. Bids must be submitted by February 25. Transport Secretary Patrick McLoughlin said the government was \"determined\" to improve the railways, and \"building new stations will provide that boost\". \"We recognise that local communities are often best placed to deliver their own transport solutions and I would therefore encourage anyone with a credible and worthwhile business plan to apply for this vital extra funding,\" he said. In 2010 to 2011, the number of train passenger journeys reached record levels, with 1.05 billion in England; 85.9 million in Scotland and 27.3 million in Wales. Anthony Smith, chief executive of passenger group Passenger Focus, said with the number of rail-users continuing to grow, there was a long-term need to boost the capacity. \"This investment is a good example of what is needed,\" he said. \"New stations can have a beneficial impact on local communities, so passengers living in those areas will welcome this money.\" The Beeching Report of 1963 ushered in an era of significant reduction of the rail network - with about a third closed.

Former head teacher Mark Moore, said it \"didn't occur\" to him to tell police Thomson-Glover took pupils to a holiday home which was a \"missed opportunity\". Nick Tolchard, from the college's council, said: \"We feel that we have let down children and their parents.\" The apology was made as part of an Independent Inquiry Child Sexual Abuse hearing, which is examining abuse at schools over the past 20 years. Thomson-Glover was jailed for three years and nine months after pleading guilty to 36 counts of making, taking and possessing indecent images of children. He was also convicted of sexually abusing boys at his holiday home in Cornwall, and was given an additional six month sentence. The 58-year-old secretly filmed more than 120 boys - aged between 12 and 17 - over a 16-year period. The inquiry heard two statements from victims who said Thomson-Glover was seen as \"cool\" by pupils and was regarded as the most important teacher, after the headmaster. The panel was also informed of a report the college commissioned in 2016 which found a failure to investigate concerns surrounding Thomson-Glover. The report found numerous complaints about his favouritism of pupils and poor attitude towards safety and compliance. Mr Moore, head teacher from 2005 to 2015, said \"there were clearly things that we could have done differently; that I could have done differently\". When asked why he did not inform police Thomson-Glover was taking pupils to his holiday home, he said it had \"probably\" not occurred to him which had been a \"missed opportunity\". He also denied that a letter to parents saying Thomson-Glover had resigned due to \"personal reasons\" was \"misleading\" because at that point \"he hadn't been charged with anything\". \"I never intended to mislead anybody. I think, sins of omission rather than sins of commission, and I hold my hand up to failing in that respect.\" he said. \"In retrospect, they look like the wrong decisions.

A Liberal Democrat attempt to scrap the restrictions from the Public Health Bill is likely to fail with some Plaid Cymru AMs, including Elin Jones, supporting the regulations. AMs will debate the ban, which has been watered down following opposition pressure, next week. Previously the Welsh government wanted to restrict the use of e-cigarettes in all enclosed public and work places. But a committee report found AMs were divided, with Plaid's Elin Jones suggesting imposing less stringent restrictions on e-cigarettes than those on tobacco. Plaid split In January, AMs approved amendments by Health Minister Mark Drakeford restricting the ban to establishments including schools, hospitals, train and bus stations and places selling food. \"Wet-only\" pubs which do not serve food or have children on the premises are excluded. The Welsh government will try to extend this list next week to a further list, including entertainment venues such as cinemas and zoos, shops and playgrounds. Plaid Cymru is having a free vote on the issue. A spokesman for Elin Jones told BBC News she would be voting for the compromise proposal. Llyr Gruffydd, Plaid AM for North Wales, also said he was likely to support the restrictions, although he had not made a final decision. Some other Plaid AMs said they were opposed to the ban. A Plaid Cymru spokesperson said party leader Leanne Wood would consider the evidence before the vote, but was \"generally not in favour\". The Liberal Democrats are tabling amendments to scrap the restrictions, which the Welsh Conservatives said they would support. Welsh Lib Dem leader Kirsty Williams said: \"Labour and Plaid AMs have one last chance next week to join thousands of Welsh vapers in backing the Welsh Lib Dems, and consign this vaping ban to the dustbin of history.\" Labour needs the support of one opposition member. Some anti-smoking campaigners have opposed restrictions, saying e-cigarettes help smokers kick the habit.

Her character is one of a handful of people who hold the fate of the planet in their hands, after an alien invasion off the coast of Hawaii. She spoke to the BBC about the role and her future ambitions in film. Why choose this as your first film? I wanted my first role to be, most importantly, one that I was capable of mastering and performing well in. It was all brand new. It was all something that was difficult. But it was exciting, it was a good experience. You were an army cadet when you were growing up in Barbados. How did that help you prepare for this role? It was definitely helpful. We used to shoot on a range. I did a lot of training, a lot of discipline. So I had the army etiquette from a young age. How did you get in shape for the film? I had to do tons of push-ups. I had to work out with sand bags that were the weight of the weapons. The trainer, he was a soldier. He yelled at me so many times, right in my face. He would never call me Rihanna, he would never respond to me. But it really put me in that place where, when I went on set, it wasn't all surface with the character. It wasn't me pretending. There was actually a character that was built. So it was necessary. How did that make you feel? I didn't get it. I was like, 'He's not coming back here. There's no way he's in my hotel room talking to me like that.' After a while I got so freaked out. Every time he came over I would hide all my high heels, any shopping I did I would hide the bags, I moved my pink iPod off the dock. I got rid of those so fast. But it worked. It worked. How long did it take to be Rihanna again afterwards? I didn't have a lot of time in between being Raikes and being Rihanna. I literally left the set at night and went straight to do a music video for Only Girl in the World. I flew to LA from Hawaii and started shooting that video. What's the biggest difference between singing and acting? Singing is familiar. It's all I've ever known. Acting is a whole new world - and it's a world I respect as much, if not even more, because when you're a singer you get to be yourself, but when you act you really have to make people believe you're someone else. I really don't know how actors get it done. Who's your role model as an actress? Meryl Streep is my favourite. She's just stone cold. I love her. Raikes is quite a tomboy. She gets involved in the rough stuff. Is there a Raikes inside every woman? Absolutely. All of us can stand up right next to the guys, eye to eye. We all can do that. We just have to believe it. Would you like to make more films? Absolutely, there are plans for that this year - but I can't really talk about the other projects yet. Battleship made me want to see what else I could do. I want to try different roles. Maybe comedy next. Who knows? There have been rumours you would play Whitney Houston. I didn't get that call yet! But who wouldn't want to play her? That would be something that I would have to give my entire life to do because I would want to really pull it off. That's a huge, huge role and whoever does it has to do a good job. I always looked up to her. One of the first songs I remember falling in love with was a Whitney Houston song - I Will Always Love You. Her music, all of her music, was played in my house. It was really inspiring and it made me develop a passion for music. So really she's partly responsible for me being here, in this industry. And are there plans for a new album, too? Not yet, but I'm in the early stages of collecting [songs] and putting together a team to work with. I'm travelling all over the world to find new sounds and new producers that people don't really know of. You're playing the Hackney Weekend festival this summer. What tricks have you got up your sleeve? It's definitely going to be different, it has to be different. I just like to party on stage. I like to laugh and feed off the energy of the crowd and that always translates. Your mentor Jay-Z is the other headliner. Is there any competition? No! I can't wait to see his show. Every time we're on the same bill, I try to stick around to see his show. I love watching Jay-Z perform. Battleship is released in the UK on 11 April.",

But Mr Trump later tweeted that people working at the White House \"should receive the vaccine somewhat later... unless specifically necessary\". The US will begin its roll out of the vaccine on Monday. The vaccine offers up to 95% protection against Covid-19. The first three million doses are being distributed to dozens of locations in all 50 states across the US. The first shipment of those doses left a facility in Michigan on Sunday, with health workers and the elderly in line to receive the first shots. News on Sunday that White House staff would be among the first to be vaccinated drew criticism on social media. It was not clear why Mr Trump decided to change the plans, or what effect it would have on the government's efforts to protect top officials. Coronavirus deaths have been rising sharply since November in the US, with a world-record daily increase of 3,309 reported on Saturday. The vaccine's rollout has been framed as a turning point in the coronavirus pandemic, which has taken the lives of almost 300,000 people in the US. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said its emergency-use authorisation of the vaccine, announced on Friday, was a \"significant milestone\" in the pandemic, after it came under intense pressure from the Trump administration to approve the jab. Doses of the same vaccine are already being administered in the UK. The Pfizer vaccine has received regulatory approval in Canada, Bahrain and Saudi Arabia as well. The beginning of the vaccination drive in the US comes as the Electoral College - the system which elects US presidents - is set to endorse Joe Biden's victory on Monday. When will Trump receive the vaccine? Officials told several media outlets on Sunday that some of the first vaccines would be reserved for those who work in close proximity to Mr Trump. The vaccination plan, first reported by the New York Times, was confirmed by National Security Council (NSC) spokesman John Ullyot. One aim of the programme was to build public confidence in the vaccine, he said. \"The American people should have confidence that they are receiving the same safe and effective vaccine as senior officials of the United States government on the advice of public health professionals and national security leadership,\" Mr Ullyot said. But Mr Trump on Sunday suggested that top officials would now have to wait longer. \"People working in the White House should receive the vaccine somewhat later in the program, unless specifically necessary,\" he said in a tweet. \"I have asked that this adjustment be made.\" The US president, who contracted coronavirus in October and recovered after treatment in hospital, said he was not yet scheduled to take the vaccine but looked forward to doing so \"at the appropriate time\". He has previously claimed to be \"immune\", even though medical experts say it is unclear whether people who have recovered from Covid-19 are protected from a second infection, and if so, how long this protection might last. There have been a number of coronavirus outbreaks in the White House, with several senior staffers and officials testing positive for the disease. The latest is Mr Trump's personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, who revealed last week that he was being treated with the same drug cocktail as the president. How does the vaccine work? The Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine was the first coronavirus jab to show promising results in the latter stages of its testing process. It is a new type called an mRNA vaccine that uses a tiny fragment of genetic code from the pandemic virus to teach the body how to fight Covid-19 and build immunity. \"The vaccine contains a small piece of the [Covid-19] virus's mRNA that instructs cells in the body to make the virus's distinctive 'spike' protein,\" the FDA said. \"When a person receives this vaccine, their body produces copies of the spike protein, which does not cause disease, but triggers the immune system to learn to react defensively, producing an immune response against [Covid-19].\" The vaccine is given as two injections, 21 days apart, with the second dose being a booster. Immunity begins to kick in after the first dose but reaches its full effect seven days after the second dose. The vaccine must be stored at ultra-low temperatures, which makes distribution difficult. Special shipping containers that use dry ice will be used to transport frozen vials direct to the point of vaccination, Pfizer says. The pharmaceutical company has agreed a deal to supply the US with 100 million doses of the vaccine by March. An additional 200 million doses of a second vaccine, developed by Moderna and the National Institutes of Health, will be provided by June. However this vaccine is still seeking approval in the US.",

The latest figures suggest more than one in five people in Wales are living in poverty. The Welsh government said getting people out of poverty was at the \"very heart\" of what it does. Earlier this year, the Communities Committee published a report that stated it was \"deeply concerned by the Welsh government's lack of progress in reducing poverty\". Poverty is statistically defined as a household income below £271 a week - 60% of the national mid-point average of £453. Figures from the Joseph Rowntree Foundation suggest 23% of people in Wales are living in poverty - a figure which the committee said has barely changed since the early 2000s. Labour AM Christine Chapman said the Welsh government was \"going in the right direction\" but the pace of change \"needs to be quicker\". \"We are a rich country in the main but yet people are still struggling with their heating bills, with their food - that is absolutely appalling,\" she said. \"There must be a strong message first of all to the UK government that things need to change.\" Gemma Jones, a caseworker for Rhondda Cynon Taff Citizens Advice, said despite government initiatives, she sees little evidence of improvement. \"I don't know what's going wrong or what's happening but we're certainly seeing a lot more clients in poverty and not saying I'm better off,\" she said. A Welsh government spokesman responded: \"All government departments are working relentlessly to tackle the root causes of poverty, by giving children the best possible start in life, helping people to get a job and improving their health and wellbeing. \"We also continue to do all we can to mitigate the effects of the UK government's sweeping welfare reforms and austerity measures.

            "input": "By Andy GreenWorld Land Speed Record Holder The assembly of the world's first 1,000mph car continues at the Bloodhound Technical Centre near Bristol. It started over a year ago, with the build of the lower-chassis, seen in timelapse in this video. We're now fitting the chassis with hydraulics, electrics, gearboxes and other components. Every time I see bits of this process, I'm amazed at the sheer complexity of the task. Imagine building an Airfix model kit, a really big one. Several hundred plastic parts need to fit precisely together, according to pages of instructions, to make sure it's done in the right order. Then imagine trying to design the kit from scratch, designing the moulds for all the plastic bits and having to write the instructions for assembly. It's going to be a slow and complicated process. Now consider Bloodhound SSC, which is the biggest and most complex kit you can imagine. It has some 3,500 individual components, designed and built specifically for Bloodhound, and that's not including the fasteners (the upper-chassis alone has over 11,000 rivets in it). The car has to survive extreme forces when it's complete. Aerodynamic pressures exert the equivalent of 12 tonnes of load per square metre, while the exhaust blast from the Nammo hybrid rocket generates temperatures approaching 3,000 C (twice the temperature of a volcano). For Bloodhound's kit, we're using state-of-the-art materials and manufacturing techniques to create the fastest, strongest and most sophisticated car in Land Speed Record history. We're also writing the instruction book as we go along and (unlike some of my Airfix adventures), we can't afford to get glue marks on the windscreen - the build has to be perfect first time. To achieve all of this, the workshop team will assemble the car several times over during the next nine months or so. Each component will be checked to make sure it fits perfectly, before we commit to final assembly. If you want to see this process first hand, then come down and visit the team at the Bloodhound Technical Centre - contact the Bloodhound 1K Club for further details, or arrange for a group visit. This assembly process is all part of our \"Engineering Adventure\" and (from my point of view) it highlights just how remarkable engineering can be. This is the story that we're telling through the Bloodhound Education Programme, which is working with the Department for Education to reach every school in the country over the next 2-3 years. That's a lot of students, but that's OK because we've got a lot to talk about. The Bloodhound assembly kit is getting bigger all the time, and now includes the Fin fixture, or \"jig\", to build it in. The fin will be subjected to over 1,000 mph of airflow at ground level, making it the hardest working fin in history (which can also carry your name - apply here). If I am to have any chance of keeping the car straight, then the fin must be perfectly straight as well, so we're aiming for an accuracy of less than one-tenth of a degree. The fin will be assembled in this huge one-tonne fixture, described by our chief engineer as being \"as big as a house\". Not sure what size his house is, but you get the general idea. Once the fin has been assembled and riveted together, it will be cured (cooked) in an autoclave (large oven) to cure the bonding agent (glue) that gives extra strength and stiffness to the structure. To keep the aluminium fin perfectly straight during this heating process, it will remain clamped in the fixture, which is also made of aluminium to make sure that everything expands at the same rate. Now all we need is a really huge oven. The lower-chassis has been test-fitted with the jet fuel tank and the gearbox for the EJ200 jet engine. The gearbox is used to start the jet and (as the jet accelerates and drives the gearbox) it will also generate the car's hydraulic and electrical power. The plumbing for the air starter (which uses high-temperature air to spin the jet engine up), plus the hydraulics, is also being mocked up, to allow the final pipe lengths to be fixed. The huge hydrogen peroxide (HTP) tank is gradually being plumbed in. Given the highly reactive nature of HTP (the rocket motor oxidiser), this plumbing needs to be very good indeed - we don't want any leaks here. The pipework is all stainless steel, which will eventually be \"passivated\" (cleaned) in an acid bath to remove any contamination that might react with the HTP. Watching Bloodhound's Dave Tuffs (\"Tufty\") welding these bits together is like watching an artist working in liquid metal - it's amazing. The electrical system is also getting a fair bit of attention at the moment. We're using mock-up electrical boxes, literally \"grown\" for Bloodhound. Carbon SLS (selective layer sintering) involves using a high-powered layer to fuse carbon fibre reinforced plastic powder to build up components one \"slice\" at a time, producing complex and precise shapes. The electronics can then be housed in a precisely shaped, electrically and thermally conductive box. Perfect. The electronics will be monitoring up to 500 data channels on the car. This includes the loads on the front monocoque, using recently installed strain gauges on the internal surfaces, which will be down by my feet when I'm driving. This is where the front suspension loads (up to 30 tonnes), plus the aerodynamic loads (up to 12 tonnes per square metre), and the thrust (up to 21 tonnes) from the rear of the car, all meet up. Worth keeping an eye on what's going on down there. Thanks to Eibach, we've now got a range of springs for the suspension. The strength of a spring is called the spring rate, which is the force generated per mm of movement. For a normal road car this might be around 15-20N per mm (i.e. a 2kg weight will compress the spring by one mm). For BLOODHOUND, the springs are different front and rear, at about 150N/mm (front) and 240N/mm (rear). Call it 10 times the stiffness of your family car. Seems fair enough, since we are planning to go about 10 times as fast. Eibach has made several sets of springs for Bloodhound, to give us the option of changing to a different spring rate if we need to. This is part of the fascination of our Engineering Adventure, as we have to find out some of the details as we go along. No-one has ever run on Hakskeen Pan in South Africa before. We're confident that the calculated spring rates are fairly close, but we can adjust the spring rates (by changing the springs) if we have to. The other key bit of suspension performance is the dampers (or 'shock absorbers'), which do exactly what the name suggests by damping out, or smoothing, the suspension movement. The damper is a simple cylindrical shape, containing a piston in hydraulic oil. As the car moves up and down, the drag of the piston in the oil slows it down - simple. The damper was first fitted to a car by a French firm called Mors in 1902. It may not be a coincidence that a Mors set a World Land Speed Record (at a blistering 76mph) in the same year. All these years later, we're still using the same basic technology - sometimes, the simple solutions are still the best. We're also using a simple solution for the brake parachutes. SES is now working on the final changes to our parachute system, which uses a simple \"ribbon\" canopy (consisting of lots of concentric rings or ribbons) to produce up to 9 tonnes of drag at near-supersonic speeds. Going fast is all very well, but stopping is just as important, so the 'chutes will provide a safety backup to the airbrakes. When I shut down the engines (both jet and rocket) at 1,000mph, the car will initially start to slow down at 3g (60mph per second). As the car drops below the speed of sound (about 760mph), the drag falls away rapidly, so the airbrakes are deployed at that point. However, if the airbrakes don't come out for some reason (there's no such thing as \"failure-proof\"), then I'm still doing a mile every 5 seconds in a car that doesn't want to slow down. Time to put out a brake chute, to increase the drag and to make sure we stop before the end of the track… and the border with Namibia! Bloodhound has a second identical brake chute as well, just in case: if you have to stop a 6-tonne car from supersonic speeds in a limited amount of space, then having a back-up for your back-up can only be a good thing.",

He told an inquiry into the attack that he had not noticed the ambulance and fire services had nominated different rendezvous points to his own force. One of his jobs was to \"spot any gaps\" in BTP's response, the inquiry heard. Twenty-two people were killed and hundreds more injured when Salman Abedi detonated a bomb at the end of an Ariana Grande concert on 22 May 2017. On the evening of the attack, Ch Insp Lodge was working as a senior duty officer (SDO) for the force. The inquiry heard he had no training or experience in dealing with a major incident for the role of the SDO. Ch Insp Lodge agreed that he did not take any action to ensure the different emergency services were meeting together at the scene of the explosion. The inquiry also heard that, during a major incident, emergency commanders from the police, fire and ambulance services were supposed to locate in one place to co-ordinate the response. \"I was speaking to over 15 different internal stakeholders,\" Ch Insp Lodge said. \"The log is moving very fast and also to be truthful the JESIP [multi-agency working] principles at that time weren't sufficiently engrained in my muscle memory, my reflex memory.\" Almost an hour after the bomb exploded, Ch Insp Lodge was still trying to establish whether BTP had primary control over the incident. The inquiry heard how the first time he tried to speak to Greater Manchester Police (GMP) was 50 minutes after the explosion when he called 999 and asked to be put through to the force's control room. During that call he asked whether the bomb scene was in GMP or BTP's jurisdiction. He accepted that this would have been an opportunity to speak to GMP about multi-agency co-operation and whether officers and emergency responders on the ground were working together. 'Sheer tragedy' The inquiry also heard from another BTP commander, Ch Supt Allan Gregory, who was based in a force control room in Birmingham on the night of the attack. He told the inquiry he \"regretted\" not speaking to fellow silver commanders at Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service and GMP. \"I should have been more diligent around reaching out... and having conversations about what they understood,\" he said. The inquiry heard Ch Supt Gregory trained as a silver commander before the attack but he said no training could prepare him for what happened that evening. \"The principles were clear… but in terms of the sheer scale of events, the sheer amount of information coming at you in different order and the sheer tragedy, no I wouldn't describe that as a full level preparation for what happened on 22 May,\" he said.

The BBC data team, using figures from Hometrack, has mapped rents by postcode district in Britain to help you explore the best value parts of your area. You can also change the number of bedrooms to see how much you could save by sharing a larger home. Contains OS data © Crown copyright and database rights 2018. Postcodes have been matched to the local council where the majority of that postcode falls. This could mean you get a different local authority to the one you expect. There is insufficient data for Northern Ireland. If you can't see the map, tap or click here. For one-bedroom flats, rent in the most expensive postcode districts in three local authorities - Westminster, the Scottish Borders and the City of London - is more than twice as expensive as the cheapest postcode. Significant price gaps can also be found in Powys, Northumberland, Leeds, Fife, and Manchester. Within all of these areas, the most expensive postcode district was more than two-thirds pricier than the cheapest one. While areas with more postcode districts might be expected to have larger gaps between the cheapest and most expensive ones, the difference across London as a whole was stark. The priciest postcode - SW1X in Westminster, is almost four times as expensive as the cheapest, SE2 in Greenwich. Last month, BBC analysis revealed that people in their 20s who wanted to rent a place for themselves faced having to pay out an \"unaffordable\" amount in two-thirds of Britain. Average rents for a one-bedroom home accounts for more than 30% of the typical salary of someone in their 20s in 65% of British postcode areas. Many housing organisations regard spending more than a third of income on rent as unaffordable. Landlords said they faced costs, including their mortgages, insurance, maintenance and licensing, that needed to be covered from rents.

The head of the Terrorism Investigation Unit, Det Supt Sean Wright, said the PSNI believed the attack was carried by \"violent dissident republicans\". \"It was clearly intended to kill the police officer,\" he said. The bomb was examined by Ammunition Technical Officers and they declared it to be a \"viable improvised explosive device\". \"It is very fortunate that this device was detected before it exploded and that no one was killed or seriously injured,\" Mr Wright added. \"In placing such a device, terrorists have also put the officer's family, neighbours and members of the public at serious risk.\" The alert began on Saturday afternoon and the golf club was evacuated. Club member Alan Paterson said the man who owned the car spotted the device after playing a round of golf on Saturday morning. \"He was leaving the course and he actually noticed something under the car and immediately informed the police and the members in the clubhouse at that time,\" Mr Paterson said. \"I was actually in the clubhouse at the time when the person came in to tell us that there was a possible device.\" He added: \"Within several minutes the police arrived and identified the object and said that they felt it was viable and that they should immediately evacuate the clubhouse and surrounding area, and also get everybody else off the golf course. \"We are delighted that if it was a viable device the person concerned was not injured or worse, so that is a big plus for everybody. \"We are a very mixed club. It is east Belfast, yes, but it is a mixed club and this sort of thing should not happen - it just should not happen.\" Police also attended a further security alert in Strabane, County Tyrone, on Saturday afternoon. A suspicious object caused a number of homes to be evacuated after it was discovered in the St Mary's Drive area of the town, close to the junction of Beechmount Avenue. The police said the object was a hoax. From the scene: BBC reporter Mark Simpson: There was a sense of shock in this leafy part of east Belfast on Saturday. Residents whose homes back on to the golf course car park were told by police to stay at the front of their homes. The golf club was busy, with an estimated 70 people on the course at the time of the alert, and at least 50 in the clubhouse. Saturday is the busiest day of the week at any golf club. It's likely that dozens of people walked past the device before it was discovered. PSNI Chief Constable George Hamilton condemned the attempted bombing as \"despicable\" DUP East Belfast MLA and Policing Board member Joanne Bunting described the attack as \"absolutely reckless\". \"It's regrettable that there are still those who wish to take us back to the dark days of Northern Ireland. They are on a fruitless mission. \"The people of East Belfast will not be cowed by terrorists. We are a much stronger community than that,\" she said. 'Reckless' \"There is absolutely nothing patriotic about planting bombs under Irish police officers' cars,\" SDLP leader Colum Eastwood said. \"They claim they are in a fight with 'British Crown Forces'. They are not, they need to know and they need to be made to understand that their fight is with us. With all the people of this island who have endorsed peace,\" he added. UUP MLA Andy Allen said: \"The terrorist`s actions are not supported by the overwhelming majority of people across Northern Ireland who want to live their lives in peace. \"There is no justification for the actions of these reckless criminals who need to be taken off our streets.\" Det Supt Sean Wright appealed for anyone with information about the bomb to contact detectives. \"Attacks on police officers are attacks on the entire community and they are an attack on our democracy. Anyone who places an explosive device under a car in a built up area cares little about our communities,\" he said.",

In 1970, he broke the story to the world that Apollo 13 was in trouble. Mr Turnill's eldest son confirmed the news of his father's death to BBC Radio Kent. Michael Turnill, 72, said his father was \"always very committed to what he was doing\" and was still writing stories just eight weeks ago. He added that his mind was still \"remarkable\" at the age of 97. Mr Turnill's career began with the Press Association in Fleet Street when he was 15. He stayed with the news agency as a staff reporter until recruited by the BBC in 1956 as assistant industrial correspondent. In 1958, he was made the BBC's air and space correspondent, with a brief to cover defence. He interviewed all of the Apollo astronauts and was friends with Wernher von Braun, the architect of Nasa's moon programme. Speaking to the BBC in 2007, Mr Turnill recalled being first to report that the Apollo 13 mission was in trouble: \"It was 10 o'clock Houston time, 4am London time, and I just looked in to a deserted mission control. All was going well, most journalists had gone to bed. \"I was just turning to leave the deserted press centre when I heard the famous words: 'Houston, we've had a problem'. By 5am I'd broken the story. The astronauts were in deadly danger.\" Nick Spall, fellow of the British Interplanetary Society, described Mr Turnill as \"one of a kind\". He said he had spoken to the correspondent recently and said he was \"full of his old enthusiasm\". \"My key memory was of this father figure on TV in the 1960s, explaining it all in a very British way,\" said Mr Spall. \"He was the astronaut who never made it to the Moon.\" Most recently, Mr Turnill wrote a tribute to the late Neil Armstrong in the October 2012 edition of Astronomy Now magazine and also contributed to the BBC's coverage of the astronaut's death. He also gave regular public talks on the topic of spaceflight. In his later years, he lived in Sandgate, Kent.

This year the youngster, from Rhyl, Denbighshire, collected more than 200 items including toiletries, warm clothing and food. Mason said donating \"made him feel all funny inside, but a nice funny\". He said he wanted to help because \"they have no home and it's nearly Christmas and they have no family that cares about them - it's sad\". With the help of his mother, Mason got his family and school friends involved and managed to collect more than 200 items including toothbrushes, thermal socks and gloves and sanitary products. His mother, Claire Perris, said her son had always asked questions about homeless people and it \"warms her heart\" to see him care so much. Donations were taken to Ty Golau, which provides emergency accommodation for homeless people in Rhyl, to give out to people who use its service throughout the year. Senior project officer Lynda Williams said: \"We have been overwhelmed with the donations received and would like to thank Mason for his kindness and for thinking about the project. \"It is so lovely to know that Mason at his age thinks of others and it is good to raise awareness to everyone of homelessness and how we can look at ways of working together to start tackling it.\" Ms Perris said that this was Mason's way of showing that \"as exciting as it is for children to get presents at Christmas it's important to be mindful that not everyone is so lucky as us and Christmas is really about being kind and spreading happiness\". Denbighshire council recorded just one homeless person for 2018-2019, a statistic that has been criticised by some charities who brand the counting system as outdated. Shelter Cymru said it had worked with 13 people living on Denbighshire's streets and the method involved \"a single one-night count in November\".

A 22-year-old man was killed in a fight at a block of flats in Wisbeach Road, Croydon, police said. None of the attacks is being linked, but police said extra officers would be deployed in south London. Police said the dead man was stabbed in an altercation with a group of males and a murder investigation was under way. On Saturday afternoon friends and family of the victim, including his mother, laid flowers alongside a police cordon at the scene. And in a separate incident a man in his 20s was found dead in Kilburn in north London at about 17:40 GMT on Saturday. A boy believed to be in his teens has been taken to hospital in a critical condition. Det Supt Nicky Arrowsmith said: \"Sadly, tonight [Friday] we have seen a number of needless and completely abhorrent violent altercations, including one that has tragically resulted in a loss of life. \"We need to hear from anyone who has information about crime, those who carry a weapon, or those who exploit others for gain or revenge, while putting young people's lives at risk - we need this information to help keep London safe.\" The man who died was one of two men reported to have been injured at the property in Wisbeach Road. A resident described seeing police and medical staff trying to save him. The witness, who asked not to be named, said: \"There was blood everywhere, it looked like he was cut in the leg and they tried to stop the bleeding. \"His mum was here crying and she was in pieces. \"It is terrifying, my son is 19 and I'm worried for him.\" Ch Insp Martin Thorpe, from the Met's Specialist Crime team, said: \"I am aware that this was one of a number of violent incidents in and around the south London area on Friday evening but there is nothing to connect these incidents together at this time.\" Police said none of the nine other casualties was now considered to be in a life-threatening condition and added that two people had been arrested. On Saturday afternoon a 10th man, aged 24, was stabbed near West Croydon station on Oakfield Road. The other attacks are being investigated by officers from the South Area Basic Command Unit, the Met said. These include a man who was stabbed on Chapman Road, Croydon, and four men who took themselves to hospital with stab wounds after a fight in the Penwortham Road area of Wandsworth. Another two men, both in their 30s, also went to hospital after a stabbing on Jay Gardens, Chislehurst, just before 21:00.

UKIP Wales leader Neil Hamilton said it was the bravest manifesto \"ever set out for moving Wales forward\". The party won seven seats at the last election, but of the group only Mr Hamilton remains in the party. He told BBC Radio Wales that \"being realistic\" UKIP would not form the next Welsh government. Launching the campaign on Facebook on Tuesday, Mr Hamilton said: \"By transferring powers away from politicians and directly to the people, this is truly a people-powered manifesto. \"UKIP is the only party that has set out a comprehensive and positive plan for how Wales will be run post-devolution. Unlike other parties, we do not want to simply cede all powers to equally distant political elites in Westminster,\" he added. UKIP says it would hold a referendum on the future of the Welsh Parliament \"immediately\" within the next term. It said it was the \"first anti-devolution party that will set a firm timeline for scrapping the Senedd\". In place of the law-making parliament in Cardiff Bay, UKIP says it would set up directly-elected health boards and \"self-governing\" grammar and free schools. At the launch Mr Hamilton also defended a candidate who had sent offensive messages about Muslims on Twitter. WALES ELECTION: THE BASICS What elections are happening? On 6 May, people across Wales will vote to elect 60 Members of the Senedd (MSs). The party or parties that can command the support of a majority of members will form the Welsh government. Find out more here. What powers does the Welsh Parliament have? MSs pass laws on many aspects of day-to-day life in Wales, such as health, education and transport. They also have control over some taxes. Defence, foreign policy and immigration are decided by the UK Parliament. How do I vote? Anyone who lives in Wales and is registered to vote is eligible, so long as they are aged 16 or over on the day of the election. You can register to vote online. The party said it was pledging to end \"the Nation of Sanctuary\" - a Welsh government plan to help support asylum seekers and refugees. Immigration policy is not devolved, although the Welsh government has promised to help such groups access health services and integrate into society. UKIP said Wales \"must look after our own people first before opening our doors to the world\". It also promised to end the Welsh government's audit of statues and street names, which found that Wales has 209 streets, buildings, portraits or monuments commemorating people directly involved with the slave trade. Other policies include: UKIP says it would freeze business rates at zero for 12 months and create a £100m refurbishment fund for the Welsh tourist industry. Mr Hamilton told BBC Radio Wales Breakfast with Claire Summers people should be given \"the choice\" on devolution after 25 years. He said: \"We can't predict with absolute certainty the outcome of the next election. And if enough people vote for us, then, of course, we can form the government. But, being realistic, that isn't going to happen.\" 'Learned the lessons' Later, at the manifesto launch, Mr Hamilton said he was \"as sure as I can be\" that any candidates elected for the party in May will not defect in the future. Six of the seven UKIP members elected in 2016 left the party during the course of the last parliamentary term. Mr Hamilton said his party had \"learned the lessons\" and the selection process this time has been \"much more rigorous than the one we had last time\". \"I think our line-up of candidates in this election is dramatically better than the field that we put forward five years ago,\" he said. Mr Hamilton added that any UKIP members elected \"will fulfil that mandate in the same way that I have done for the last five years\". \"I can't give you 100% guarantee but I'm as sure as I can be that the people that are likely to be elected this time will stick to the last,\" he said.",

The deal, brokered by Egypt, is expected to see the Palestinian Authority (PA), dominated by Fatah, resume full control of the coastal territory by 1 December. The PA and its security forces were ousted from Gaza in 2007, when Hamas seized control, a year after winning legislative elections. For Naim al-Khatib, a father of six, \"Hamas are showing some flexibility which is unprecedented. It gives us hope that people are being pragmatic, seeing themselves as Palestinians, rather than as part of a global, Islamic group.\" \"There are lots of difficult issues still to tackle - but the opposite of reconciliation is a very gloomy situation which I would hate us to step into,\" he adds. Recently, Gaza's nearly two million residents have suffered as political divisions deepened and President Mahmoud Abbas piled financial pressure on Hamas. His PA imposed heavy taxes on fuel for the strip's only power plant and reduced the amount of electricity bought from Israel for Gaza. Mains electricity now comes on for just a few hours a day. This leaves water desalination and sewage treatment plants unable to work properly. Over 60,000 civil servants, still getting salaries from the PA even though they cannot work, were cut by a third. Supplies of medicines were halted. Now it is expected some sanctions will be reversed. \"We hope electricity will come back immediately. It's a basis for normal life,\" says Amal, a teacher. \"I think this will solve our sewage problem. We Gazans are very attached to the sea and we hope it will be clean again.\" Israel and Egypt tightened their blockade of Gaza after the Hamas takeover. The new agreement is expected to see PA forces return to border crossings, which could ease the movement of people and goods. \"We want to see free movement in and out of Gaza - to the West Bank, Egypt and Israel for medical purposes and for education,\" Amal says. \"Such steps will make us feel reconciliation is serious.\" Previous reconciliation deals have quickly fallen apart, and the latest announcements from Cairo have not made clear how some long-standing sticking points can be resolved. They include the fate of Hamas's 25,000-strong military wing, the Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades. Hamas is also classed as a terrorist organisation by Israel, the United States and the European Union. The latter are both major donors to the PA - but would find it difficult to support a unity government that includes Hamas. More tricky negotiations are now due to be held ahead of a meeting of all the Palestinian political movements in Cairo on 21 November. \"What's happened is a good step, it's positive, but this is just the beginning,\" says Mustafa Barghouti, general secretary of the Palestinian National Initiative. \"The next few weeks are very crucial because what's been agreed must be implemented. All the Palestinian factions, not just Hamas and Fatah, must then decide on a unified government and a date for elections.\" Some reports suggest that if all goes to plan President Abbas could soon visit Gaza for the first time in a decade as part of the reconciliation effort. That would be a huge turnaround: a recent Palestinian opinion poll indicated that demand for his resignation stood at 67% overall and 80% in Gaza. Which, paradoxically, brings out one of the reasons why some commentators believe this bid at reconciliation has better chances of success. At 82, some reason that Mr Abbas has an eye on his political legacy and little to lose. Likewise Hamas, an ideological offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood, has found itself on the wrong side of recent regional events. Faced with increased isolation, it has reached out to Cairo for help. In turn, Egyptian leaders are very keen to improve security in the restive Sinai Peninsula, which borders Gaza, and after the turbulent years following the Arab Spring, they are looking to restore their role as regional power brokers.",

Mainstream daily Hurriyet runs the headline: \"The last image.\" Pro-government Karar daily proclaims: \"Last steps to death.\" Papers are confident too that a suspected Saudi hit squad has been identified. Sabah, a pro-government daily, says the 15 people who allegedly flew into Turkey on the day of Mr Khashoggi's disappearance have been identified. Its headline says: \"Saudi execution team.\" Cumhuriyet, an opposition nationalist daily, says investigators believe seven Saudi agents entered the building before Mr Khashoggi, and left it three hours later. \"Seven suspects and a mystery three hours,\" its headline says. Cumhuriyet and other outlets say 28 Turkish employees at the consul general's residence were ordered home on the day of Mr Khashoggi's disappearance. Sabah claims two vehicles used by the Saudi agents were parked at the residence for several hours. Police have put in place a \"special unit\" to search for bloodstains in the building, pro-government Milliyet notes. There's also been a lot of focus in the press on two Gulfstream business jets that flew in from Saudi Arabia on 2 October, the day Mr Khashoggi disappeared. Nine people on board the first jet checked into two different hotels near the consulate and then headed straight for the consulate building, Sabah says. Although they had reservations until 5 October, they checked out on the same day, the paper has uncovered. Their plane left Istanbul on the evening of 2 October and flew first to Dubai and then to Riyadh. The six people on board the second aircraft went directly to the consulate and left the city in the afternoon for Egypt. Their jet reportedly arrived in Riyadh on 3 October. But in the absence of facts, speculation and rumour are rife. With many outlets reporting that Mr Khashoggi's body had been dismembered, Sabah carried a bombshell on Tuesday saying he may not have been killed. \"New allegation: He is not dead but abducted,\" the paper said, quoting security sources. Saudi press: 'spreading poison in honey' \"Fraudulent concern and false methods\" runs a headline in Saudi Al-Yaum today about the Istanbul case. The paper accuses foreign media of \"spreading poison in honey and exploiting any incident to broadcast its fallacies against the Saudi kingdom, without restraint of logic or conscience\". Overall the Khashoggi story is being downplayed in the Saudi media, but a piece on Saudi news website Sabq says a Turkish search of a Saudi plane on the day the disappearance proves that Riyadh cannot be behind the journalist's disappearance.

He told the BBC's Sunday Politics Scotland programme SNP MPs were also backing a \"no-deal\" amendment tabled by Labour MP Hilary Benn. MPs are due to vote on Theresa May's Brexit proposals on 11 December. The Scottish Conservatives accused the SNP of wanting to create \"constitutional turmoil\". Mr Blackford said he supported the Labour MP's amendment, and expected SNP MPs to sign up when Westminster business resumes on Monday. Cross-party MSPs at Holyrood have already joined forces to back a stance that rejects both the prime minister's deal and a no-deal. Mr Blackford said he hoped the Commons could now take the lead on how Brexit pans out. Asked about an amendment to suspend Article 50 - the legal trigger that activated the withdrawal process - Mr Blackford said he expected movement before 9 December. \"There are still a number of days left for Parliament to put down an amendment to that effect, and I believe that that will be the case. \"We have expressed for a considerable period of time that we wanted Article 50 to be suspended, and we know that can be done for a number of months.\" He said there were MPs across the chamber who would support a suspension. 'Common sense' \"If you are going to vote against Theresa May's deal, if you are going to vote to rule out a no deal scenario then it is common sense that you need to make sure that there is time for a new proposal to be put forward in Parliament and perhaps even to the people of Scotland and United Kingdom,\" he told the programme. \"That means that we have to postpone article 50. \"The European Union recognises that there is a possibility of that coming, and the European Union - at least in the first case - can agree to that until the end of June.\" He refused to be drawn on reports that the SNP has been in discussions with the Labour Party about supporting a Labour minority government. He said: \"At the moment, our entire focus is on the Brexit process.\" Meanwhile, David Lidington, the Cabinet Officer Minister, sought to reassure Scotland's Conservative MPs who're considering voting against Theresa May's Brexit deal over fishing. Several of the 13 Scots Tories have warned they could not support any agreement that prevented the UK from independently negotiating access and quota shares. Speaking to Sunday Politics Scotland, Mr Lidington said a deal with the EU over access to UK fishing waters in the future would not be linked to a wider free trade deal. 'Crystal clear' But Mr Blackford said that was a \"fanciful\" idea. \"The EU 27 made it absolutely crystal clear that future negotiations on fishing would start from the position of existing quota shares. \"The idea that Europe is not going to have access to our waters and is not going to drive hard bargain on this is simply missing the point spectacularly.\" Scottish Conservative interim leader Jackson Carlaw accused the SNP of playing Brexit for its own aims, \"Ian Blackford has made it clear once again that the SNP's position on Brexit comes with conditions attached - its overarching demand for a second referendum on independence,\" he said The SNP, Lib Dems and Labour were \"lining up to take us back to another EU referendum,\" he added. \"Nicola Sturgeon and Ian Blackford want to create yet more constitutional turmoil and are now using Labour and the Lib Dems to help them,\" he said. \"It is time to respect the votes we have had and move on.\"",

According to the UN, 1,174 civilians were killed between July and September, the deadliest quarter since UN records began a decade ago. Meanwhile, a BBC study which attempted to document every killing during the month of August found a fifth of all those who lost their lives were civilians.

According to Afghanistan's Tolo News, a number of explosives are believed to have been used. \"It was a heartbreaking scene I witnessed with my eyes,\" tribal elder Malik Mohammadi Gul Shinwari told the Reuters news agency. Local police officer Tezab Khan said he could hear the sound of the Mullah preaching but \"suddenly his voice was silenced with a boom\". \"When I arrived on the scene, people were trying to bring out the bodies and injured who were stuck under the fallen roof,\" he added. Sohrab Qaderi, a member of the provincial council in Nangarhar, warned the number a casualties was likely to rise as people were \"working to bring out the bodies from the rubble\". It is not clear who carried out the attack. The Taliban have denied they were behind the bombing. Both the Taliban and the Islamic State militant group are known to be active in the area.

The UN's data, which was released on Thursday, also revealed that 41% of all those killed since January were women and children. The BBC's research - which uses different methodology to the UN - found that, in August, there was not a single day when someone was not killed due to the conflict. This included militants, soldiers and civilians.",

He added there were 700 staff off sick with Covid across the health board. Swansea Bay health board covers Neath Port Talbot, which has the highest rate of infection in Wales. The warning came after the leader of Neath Port Talbot council said it was \"inevitable\" Wales would go into another lockdown \"sooner rather than later\". Rob Jones blamed birthday parties and sleepovers for the spike in cases and said January would be \"extremely difficult\". Mr Poulden said: \"We have been seeing an increasing number patients over the past few weeks and a lot of sick patients who are staying in hospital for longer.\" He said said \"all the beds are full, essentially\", and there had been patients waiting for a bed \"for over 24 hours\". \"Increasingly we are seeing staff succumbing to Covid as well,\" he added. \"So it is the perfect storm we are describing - increasing patients, lack of capacity and less staff to deal with them.\" Mr Poulden's colleague Peter Matthews, a consultant in the intensive care department, said there was currently \"15 or 16\" patients on ventilators, down from 20 over the weekend after a number of deaths. Mr Matthews said there were fewer patients on the intensive care ward than during the first wave, but patients were \"sicker\" this time around. \"It takes an awful big toll on our staff, who are tired,\" he explained. \"There's a high number of sickness and the morale is not as good as it was during the first wave. \"And there's a lot of guilt from families who feel they may somehow be responsible for having passed the virus on.\" Third wave The chair of the Welsh Government's Covid-19 vaccine programme board said that a third wave of coronavirus is \"definitely our concern\". Meanwhile, Health Minister Vaughan Gething said is was \"possible\" Welsh ministers would have to revisit the four nation's agreement on Christmas rules. However he said he was \"not convinced\" that change to Christmas arrangements now \"would lead to more people doing something different\". Neath Port Talbot has the highest weekly Covid-19 case rate in Wales at 621.7 per 100,000 population. Officials in Swansea Bay University Health Board warned case levels could soon reach \"catastrophic levels\" unless people follow social distancing rules. Speaking to BBC Radio Wales' Breakfast with Claire Summers, Mr Jones said there is \"some evidence\" of community spread \"particularly with households coming together\". \"The most affected age band is around the 40-49 age range followed by the 50-59, but then one of the lowest most consistent infections is the 0-9 and the 10-19,\" he said. \"On the lower age range we're looking at outside community activities, sleepovers. \"If we have a look at the adult age range, we're looking at birthday parties, social gatherings, adults in work settings and retail.\" Mr Jones said: \"Anything that will protect people, saves needless deaths and protect people that are vulnerable in the community has to take place.\" 'New waves' Dr Gill Richardson, the chair of the Welsh Government's Covid-19 vaccine programme board, said that a third wave of coronavirus is \"very, very definitely our concern\". \"[A third wave] is our fear, and unfortunately, in some areas of Wales, it is looking that way,\" she told BBC Radio Wales' Breakfast programme. \"Particularly, indoors and indoor mixing, of families that aren't in your bubble, in the run up to Christmas will just mean that infections will soar.\" Dr Richardson said staff and health officials in Swansea Bay health board are \"under great stress today\". \"They are seeing numbers rise, and they are seeing - particularly in Neath Port Talbot - a huge rise in rates,\" she said. \"We always knew it was going to be like surfing the wave, and that new waves would come in, and until we can make sure that everybody is protected, we have all got to be really careful.\" 'Pretty bleak' On Monday, Swansea Bay health board director Dr Keith Reid said the local health system will be \"overwhelmed\" if cases continue to rise at the current rate. Jamie Jenkins, former head of analysis at the Office for National Statistics (ONS), said that the number of tests being carried out in Wales has risen by 54% in three weeks - not including the mass-testing in Merthyr Tydfil and the lower Cynon Valley - which has resulted in an increase in confirmed cases. He said: \"Things are looking pretty bleak at the moment with the number of cases and it only seems to be going one way.\" Wales' coronavirus case rate overtook England's on 23 November, two weeks after the firebreak ended and while England was locked down, and on 1 December had a seven-day case rate of 267.8 per 100,000 people, UK government statistics show. That was compared to 149.5 in England, 143.6 in Northern Ireland, and 100.3 in Scotland. 149.5 in England, 143.6 in Northern Ireland, and 100.3 in Scotland. Wales' health minister confirmed at a Welsh Government coronavirus briefing on Monday, that ministers were looking at whether further measures would be needed. Will there be new restrictions? Mr Gething told BBC's Today programme that is was \"possible\" that Welsh ministers would have to revisit the four nation's agreement on Christmas rules between 23-27 December. However he said he was \"not convinced\" that change to Christmas arrangements now \"would lead to more people doing something different\". \"We are seeing real harm being done in the here and now,\" he said. \"That is why we've had to make really difficult choices about hospitality and why we're going to have to make more difficult choices in the weeks to come.\" Mr Gething told journalists at Monday's briefing that the Covid situation is Wales was \"very serious\" with the NHS under \"considerable and sustained pressure\". \"We're actively considering each day whether the measures we have are the right ones in place or not,\" he said. He also said that it would \"take a couple of weeks\" for the latest measures on pubs, cafes bars and restaurants to have any impact on the rate of confirmed cases.",

At the time, the business-focused social network said it had reset the accounts of those it thought had been compromised. LinkedIn now plans to repeat the measure on a much larger scale. One expert said the service should have reset all its accounts the first time round. LinkedIn is often used to send work-related messages and to find career opportunities - activities its members would want to stay private. Criminals could make use of this information or see if its subscribers had used the same passwords elsewhere. \"We are taking immediate steps to invalidate the passwords of the accounts impacted, and we will contact those members to reset their passwords,\" a spokeswoman for the California-based firm told the BBC. \"We have no indication that this is a result of a new security breach. \"We encourage our members to visit our safety centre to ensure they have two-step verification authentication and to use strong passwords in order to keep their accounts as safe as possible.\" Login leak Details of the sale were first reported by the news site Motherboard. It said the details were being advertised on at least two hacking-related sites. A total of 117 million passwords are said to be included. The passcodes are encoded, but in a form that appears to have been relatively easy to reverse-engineer. LinkedIn had about 165 million accounts at the time of the breach, but the discrepancy in the figures might be explained by the fact that some of its users logged in via Facebook. Invalidated IDs After the breach first occurred, a file containing 6.5 million encrypted passwords was posted to an online forum in Russia. LinkedIn reacted by saying it had invalidated all the accounts it believed had been compromised and emailed affected members saying they needed to register new passwords. But Motherboard has tracked down one user, whose details are in the batch currently on sale, and found that the password listed for him was still active. A security researcher who has also been given access to about one million of the advertised IDs said he believed it was \"highly likely\" that the leak was real. \"I've personally verified the data with multiple subscribers [of my own site] 'Have I been pwned',\" Troy Hunt told the BBC. \"They've looked at the passwords in the dump and confirmed they're legitimate.\" Another expert noted that the problem stemmed from the fact that LinkedIn had originally \"hashed\" its passwords but not \"salted\" them before storing them. Hashing involves using an algorithm to convert passwords into a long string of digits. Salting is an additional step meant to stop unauthorised parties from being able to work around the process. \"A salt involves adding a few random characters, which are different on a per-user basis, to the passwords [before they are hashed],\" explained Rik Ferguson, chief technology officer at the cybersecurity firm Trend Micro. By doing this, he added, you prevent hackers from being able to refer to so-called \"rainbow tables\" that list commonly-used passwords and the various hashes they produce, and then see if any of the hashes match those in the stolen database. LinkedIn introduced salting after the attack, but that only benefits the login databases it generated afterwards. \"Using salting is absolutely best practice for storing passwords under any circumstances and was the case back in 2012 as well,\" Mr Ferguson said. \"If LinkedIn is saying now that it didn't know which accounts had been affected by the breach, then the sensible thing to have done at the time would have been a system-wide forced reset of every password.\"",

            "input": "With 99.45% of ballots counted, the \"Yes\" campaign had won 51.37% and \"No\" 48.63%, and the electoral board called victory for \"Yes\". Erdogan supporters say replacing the parliamentary system with an executive presidency will modernise the country. Turkey's two main opposition parties said they would challenge the results. The Republican People's Party (CHP) demanded a recount of 60% of votes. They criticised a decision to accept unstamped ballot papers as valid unless proven otherwise. As jubilant Erdogan supporters rallied in the big cities, pots and pans were banged in Istanbul by opponents of the referendum, in a traditional form of protest. Three people were shot dead near a polling station in the south-eastern province of Diyarbakir, reportedly during a dispute over how they were voting. The European Commission called on the Turkish authorities in a statement to \"seek the broadest possible national consensus\" when implementing the constitutional reforms. Lingering doubts: BBC's Mark Lowen in Ankara They are rejoicing into the night here outside the headquarters of the governing AK party (AKP), confident in the victory claimed by President Erdogan. He and his government say more than 51% of voters have backed the constitutional reform but the opposition has cried foul, claiming massive irregularities over invalid votes and vowing to challenge the result at the supreme electoral board. Mr Erdogan said the clear victory needed to be respected. In a typically rabble-rousing speech, he proposed another referendum on reinstating the death penalty, which would end Turkey's EU negotiations. But this has not been the resounding win he wanted and doubts will linger over its legitimacy. It was hoped this vote might bring Turkey stability but that still seems some way off. Death penalty next? \"Today... Turkey has taken a historic decision,\" Mr Erdogan told a briefing at his official Istanbul residence, the Huber Palace. \"With the people, we have realised the most important reform in our history.\" He called on everyone to respect the outcome of the vote. The president also said the country could hold a referendum on bringing back the death penalty. He usually gives triumphant balcony speeches, the BBC's Mark Lowen notes, but this was a muted indoors address. Deputy Prime Minister Veysi Kaynak admitted the \"Yes\" vote had been lower than expected. What's in the new constitution? The draft states that the next presidential and parliamentary elections will be held on 3 November 2019. The president will have a five-year tenure, for a maximum of two terms. 'French-style system' Mr Erdogan says the changes are needed to address Turkey's security challenges nine months after an attempted coup, and to avoid the fragile coalition governments of the past. The new system, he argues, will resemble those in France and the US and will bring calm in a time of turmoil marked by a Kurdish insurgency, Islamist militancy and conflict in neighbouring Syria, which has led to a huge refugee influx. Critics of the changes fear the move will make the president's position too powerful, arguing that it amounts to one-man rule, without the checks and balances of other presidential systems such as those in France and the US. They say his ability to retain ties to a political party - Mr Erdogan could resume leadership of the AKP he co-founded - will end any chance of impartiality. CHP deputy leader Erdal Aksunger said he believed there had been irregularities in the count: \"Many illegal acts are being carried out in favour of the 'Yes' campaign right now. \"There is the state on one side and people on the other. 'No' will win in the end. Everybody will see that.\" The pro-Kurdish Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) also challenged the vote. Critics abroad fear Erdogan's reach The day a Turkish writer's life changed Emergency rule Many Turks already fear growing authoritarianism in their country, where tens of thousands of people have been arrested, and at least 100,000 sacked or suspended from their jobs, since a coup attempt last July. The campaign unfolded under a state of emergency imposed in the wake of the failed coup. Mr Erdogan assumed the presidency, meant to be a largely ceremonial position, in 2014 after more than a decade as prime minister. Under his rule, the middle class has ballooned and infrastructure has been modernised, while religious Turks have been empowered. Relations with the EU, meanwhile, have deteriorated. Mr Erdogan sparred bitterly with European governments who banned rallies by his ministers in their countries during the referendum campaign. He called the bans \"Nazi acts\".

Her written statement comes after her brother, the Duke of York, said the Queen had described the death of Prince Philip as \"having left a huge void in her life\". He and his brother the Earl of Wessex earlier paid tribute to their father. In a statement on the Royal Family's website, the princess said she \"most wanted to emulate\" her father's example of a \"life well lived and service freely given\". She said \"his ability to treat every person as an individual in their own right with their own skills\" was reflected in the organisations he worked with. \"I regard it as an honour and a privilege to have been asked to follow in his footsteps and it has been a pleasure to have kept him in touch with their activities,\" she added. On Sunday, a special remembrance service for Prince Philip was held in Canterbury Cathedral as the UK observes a period of official mourning. It was led by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, who is expected to officiate at the duke's funeral on Saturday. He said that \"for the Royal Family, as for every other, no words can reach into the depth of sorrow that goes into bereavement\". A ceremonial royal funeral will be held for the duke at St George's Chapel, in the grounds of Windsor Castle, at 15:00 BST on 17 April. The event will be televised. Members of the Royal Family will walk behind the coffin ahead of the funeral, while the Queen will travel separately to the chapel. The Duke of Sussex will fly from the US for the service, though it is not clear when. His wife, Meghan, who is pregnant, will remain at home in California on the advice of doctors. It will be the first time Prince William and Prince Harry will meet face to face since the Sussexes aired criticisms of the Royal Family in an interview to US broadcaster Oprah Winfrey last month. Meanwhile, Prince Andrew has said that his father's death was a \"terrible loss\", and his family was \"rallying round\" to support the Queen. \"We've lost the grandfather of the nation,\" he added, as he left a service at Windsor's Royal Lodge. He was joined by the Earl and Countess of Wessex and their daughter Lady Louise Windsor. He said the Royal Family was grateful for all the \"absolutely amazing tributes\" to Prince Philip, who died at Windsor Castle on Friday, aged 99. He added: \"The Queen, as you would expect, is an incredibly stoic person. \"She described it as having left a huge void in her life but we, the family, the ones that are close, are rallying round to make sure that we're there to support her.\" Speaking of his love for his father, Prince Andrew said: \"He was so calm. If you had a problem, he would think about it. \"He was always somebody you could go to and he would always listen so it's a great loss. Prince Andrew stepped back from royal duties in 2019 after criticism of his ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein intensified following a BBC interview. The Earl of Wessex, the Queen's youngest son, said: \"However much one tries to prepare oneself for something like this, it's still a dreadful shock.\" The Countess of Wessex said the Queen was \"thinking of others before herself\". Speaking to members of the congregation outside the chapel, Sophie said that Prince Philip's death was \"very peaceful\". \"It was right for him. It was so gentle. It was just like somebody took him by the hand and off he went,\" she said. \"Very, very peaceful and that's all you want for somebody isn't it?\" She added: \"I think it's so much easier for the person that goes than the people that are left behind.\" The Prince of Wales paid tribute to his \"dear papa\" on Saturday, saying he and the Royal Family would miss him \"enormously\". He said the duke had given the \"most remarkable, devoted service\" to the Queen, the Royal Family, the country, and the Commonwealth. Earlier, the former prime minister Sir John Major, who was appointed a special guardian to the Duke of Cambridge and the Duke of Sussex after their mother, Diana, Princess of Wales died in 1997, said the \"shared grief\" over the death of Prince Philip is an \"ideal opportunity\" to mend any rifts in the Royal Family.",

Concerns were raised during the European election campaign the party could allow multiple donations - potentially from outside the UK - to circumvent the rules. The party said no rules were broken. It also said it would \"embrace\" the recommendations on checking donors. Under UK law, donations of £500 or above must be made by a \"permissible donor\" - someone who is listed on the electoral register or a company registered in the UK. Amounts below that do not have to be declared, but some critics - among them ex-PM Gordon Brown - have said there is no way of telling whether those smaller amounts come from British or foreign sources, and therefore the system may be being abused. The Brexit Party topped the polls at last month's European elections. During the campaign, it said donations of £25 or less had accounted for 90% of its total funding. It raised more than £2m from small donors, thousands of whom paid £25 each to become registered supporters. But Mr Brown suggested the party was getting round the declaration rules by accepting multiple \"untraceable\" donations directly online. Political parties have 30 days to return donations if they are unsure of their origin. To date, the Brexit Party has handed back one donation, of £1,000, as the party could not identify whether it was from a permissible source. 'Robust measures' The Electoral Commission said it had made the party aware of its \"legal responsibilities\". It was \"legitimate\" for any political party to adopt a fundraising strategy focused on raising small sums through online payment systems, including PayPal, it said. But it said there was a legal duty on parties to check every payment they obtained online to ascertain the source of the donation and \"not to accept any that they are not entitled to\". Parties should request \"as much information as possible\" to ensure all money was from a permissible source, it said. In a statement, it said it had concluded that the \"fundraising structure adopted by the party leaves it open to a high and ongoing risk of receiving and accepting impermissible donations\". The watchdog's director of regulation, Louise Edwards, said it had made \"specific recommendations to the party that will support it to meet its legal responsibilities when it comes to receiving funds\". \"Should it fail to meet those responsibilities, this will be considered in line with our enforcement policy,\" she added. 'Same rigour' In response, the party said the watchdog's recommendations were \"helpful\" and it would embrace them \"as soon as practicable and possible\". \"They haven't found any examples of infringement of Electoral Commission rules,\" a spokesman said. \"We trust that the Electoral Commission have been applying the same oversight and rigour to the other political parties and their fundraising.\" During the campaign, the party insisted all of its donations were above board and it had made clear on its website that people should not attempt to give money unless they were on the electoral roll or eligible to vote. Both the Labour and Conservative parties also have the option to donate via PayPal on their websites. The Electoral Commission will, in August, publish details of larger donations, of £7,500 and over, given to The Brexit Party and other parties during the election campaign.",

In a keynote speech, Mr Carney said a rate rise \"could happen sooner than markets currently expect\". The consensus among economists was that rates would rise in the first half of next year, or even earlier. BBC economics editor Robert Peston says that although the comments point to an increase this year, any rise \"will be small and gradual\". Meanwhile, economists said market interest rates had risen 10 basis points on Friday morning - immediately raising business borrowing costs - while the futures markets had already priced in interest rate hikes. Alan Clarke, eurozone and UK economist at Scotiabank, said Mr Carney had a habit of making big shifts in policy. He said: \"Three weeks ago he [Mr Carney] was dovish, now he is in camp hawk. He's not a steady Eddie, he's a bit more volatile.\" Mr Carney was speaking in London on Thursday at the annual Mansion House dinner attended by City and business grandees. 'Gradual' He acknowledged there was \"already great speculation about the exact timing of the first rate hike\" from the current record low of 0.5%, adding that the decision was \"becoming more balanced\". Mr Carney emphasised that there was \"no pre-set course\" on when to raise rates. There was more spare capacity in the economy that would need to be used up first, he said. And he also reiterated that the timing of the first rise was less important than the speed at which subsequent increases were made. \"We expect that eventual increases in Bank rate will be gradual and limited,\" he said. Speaking at the Mansion House just before Mr Carney, Chancellor George Osborne confirmed plans to give the Bank new powers to prevent the housing market from overheating. These will include capping the size of mortgage loans relative to income or to the value of the house. The new powers would be given to the Bank's Financial Policy Committee by the end of this Parliament, Mr Osborne said. He said: \"We saw from the last crisis the dangerous temptations for politicians to leave the punch bowl where it is and keep the party going on for too long. 'Reserve power' \"I want to make sure that the Bank of England has all the weapons it needs to guard against risks in the housing market. \"I want to protect those who own homes, protect those who aspire to own a home, and protect the millions who suffer when boom turns to bust.\" Former chancellor Lord Lawson told the BBC's Radio 4 Today programme the Bank of England's new powers to restrict mortgages were necessary as a backstop, as banks lent irresponsibly because they felt they were \"too big to fail\". He added: \"I do think it should be very much a last resort, a reserve power. The problem is that clearly the banks shouldn't lend irresponsibly. Why, then, do they? \"The conquest of the too-big-to-fail problem is a major unresolved problem and that's what I would like to see George Osborne focus on.\" Mr Osborne also announced reforms to planning laws designed to increase the supply of housing. These should provide permission for up to 200,000 new homes, the government says. The chancellor said the housing market did not pose an immediate threat to financial stability, but that if left unchecked, it could do so in the future. In response, mortgage lenders said that a cap on the size of mortgage loans was unlikely to be \"the first tool in the box\" to cool the housing market. Analysis: Jonty Bloom, BBC Business Correspondent Mark Carney was headhunted from Canada to be the Governor of the Bank of England. That is why his speeches are occasionally enlivened with obscure references to ice hockey, moose or, as in Thursday's speech, a rather strained metaphor linking central banking to canoeing. But it was a much less colourful line in the speech that grabbed the headlines. The first rate hike \"could happen sooner than markets currently expect\", he said. Let me translate from Canadian. Everyone has been betting interest rates won't rise this year. They are wrong. Until Thursday, the consensus was that rates would stay at 0.5% for until at least the beginning of next year and possibly longer. But the economy is now growing far more strongly than predicted, and that means the Bank is thinking about when to raise rates and calm things down.",

It involves injecting tumours with oxygen micro bubbles that are coated with a drug which is then activated by ultrasound. Pancreatic surgeon Mark Taylor said the researchers' work was \"a very exciting development\". \"If this local treatment can actually allow us to operate, then we have a five-fold increase in survival,\" he told BBC Northern Ireland's Good Morning Ulster. Pancreatic cancer is one of the hardest tumours to detect and treat. Just under 9,000 people are diagnosed with it in the UK every year. It has the lowest five-year survival rate of any common cancer and one that has barely improved in 40 years. Mr Taylor said pancreatic cancer survival rates were low because it is a disease that tends to have few symptoms and, when these present, it is at a very late stage. Also, many of the symptoms are vague - simple heartburn, indigestion, unexplained weight loss. This can make it difficult for doctors in general to diagnose it at an early stage. The new treatment offered fresh hope to patients. \"The potential is that we can reduce the size of these tumours by this type of targeted local therapy which would then allow resectional surgery to take place to remove the tumour,\" Mr Taylor said. \"Eighty per cent of people have unresectable tumours and if you are able to give a targeted treatment without the side effects of that treatment in the rest of the body, then that helps prolong survival and that is an excellent chance.\" The university said it was a \"major breakthrough that can open up more treatment options, even for advanced forms of the disease\". Prof John Callan, who led the research at the university's biomedical laboratories in Coleraine said this was \"a highly novel and targeted technique\" and \"one of the most promising advances in pancreatic cancer research for decades\". \"We can selectively target the tumour and spare healthy tissue making this a highly targeted therapy with reduced side-effects,\" he said. \"This really is a groundbreaking development and one of the most promising advances in pancreatic cancer research for decades.\" \"We are hopeful that within the next one to two years we can start to begin clinical trials with this technology.\"",

G4S has a government contract to run the centre near Gatwick Airport. It has appointed an outside consultancy to conduct the inquiry but has not said whether the findings will be published. In September, Panorama aired footage recorded by ex-custody officer Callum Tulley at Brook House, which holds detainees who are facing deportation from the UK. Security firm G4S has since dismissed six members of staff at the centre and a number of other staff have also been disciplined. Brandon Lewis, the immigration minister, is expected to be questioned by MPs today about whether his department had concerns about the centre before the programme was broadcast. BBC News has now seen a letter from G4S to the Commons Home Affairs Select Committee which says the firm has commissioned an independent review to understand the \"extent and root causes of the treatment of detainees\" at Brook House. It has appointed investigators from consultancy organisation Verita, which carried out a review of practices at Yarl's Wood immigration centre in Bedfordshire. The investigation into Brook House will examine G4S's \"operational policies and management\", the treatment of detainees by staff, and the failings of whistleblowing procedures. BBC's home affairs correspondent Danny Shaw said the inquiry is an indication of how seriously G4S regards the alleged abuse at Brook House. He added that the Home Office is still considering whether to renew the company's contract. The Equality and Human Rights Commission last month urged ministers to set up a public inquiry into wider issues with immigration centres - including allowing private firms to run them - but it says it has so far had no response from the Home Office. Home Secretary Amber Rudd, when asked about the Brook House programme at the home affairs committee last month, said she had been \"disgusted\" by the footage. \"It is completely unacceptable, and they have put together a plan of implementation to correct it,\" she told the committee. Brook House was branded \"fundamentally unsafe\" in 2010 - a year after opening. Three years later inspectors said they saw sustained improvement. The most recent report from HM Chief Inspector of Prisons, released in March this year, said some detainees had been held for excessive periods due to \"unreasonable delays in immigration decision making\".",

And he urged the prime minister to guarantee he would not scrap Trident as the price of a coalition in the event of another hung Parliament. The exchange came at Prime Minister's Questions in the Commons. BBC deputy political editor James Landale said Mr Lewis was engaged in a \"constant tussle\" with Mr Cameron over Trident and had been \"very disappointed\" when the final \"main gate\" decision, which would see the key contracts signed, was delayed until after 2015 for a \"mixture of financial and political reasons\". The Conservatives wanted to avoid a \"row\" with the Lib Dems before the election but it was significant, said former Labour foreign secretary Jack Straw, that for the \"first time he (Cameron) has added the critical adjective 'full' to the replacement for Trident\". 'Boasting' There has been speculation that the number of Trident submarines could be cut or continuous sea patrols ended to save cash - or even that a cheaper alternative to the sea-borne system could be commissioned. In the Commons, Mr Lewis said Mr Cameron had promised Tory MPs at the time the coalition was being formed that the Lib Dems would support a replacement for Trident. But now that the decision had been delayed, the Liberal Democrats \"from their president down have been boasting that this was their achievement\" - and he asked Mr Cameron for reassurance that it would not be scrapped as the price of another coalition deal. Mr Cameron assured him that \"the replacement for Trident is going ahead\". \"The reason for the delay is that we had a value for money study because we desperately need to save some money in the Ministry of Defence so that we can invest in frontline capability \"In terms of the future, all I can say... is that I am in favour of a full replacement for Trident, for continuous at-sea deterrent, and to make sure we keep our guard up. \"That is Conservative policy. It will remain Conservative policy as long as I am the leader of this party.\" 'All-party support' Labour MP John Woodcock, whose Barrow-in-Furness constituency builds the Trident submarines, also asked Mr Cameron for reassurance that he would not go back on his word. Mr Cameron said: \"I profoundly believe we should maintain our independent nuclear deterrent. I have looked at all of the alternatives over the years and I am completely convinced that you need a submarine based alternative - a full replacement for Trident in order to guarantee the ultimate insurance policy for this country.\" He said he believed there was \"all-party support\" for his position. In their election manifesto, the Lib Dems, who have traditionally been in favour of nuclear disarmament, opposed a \"like-for-like\" replacement for Trident on cost grounds. It was one of the issues on which they were allowed to continue expressing a different view to the Conservatives in the coalition agreement. But they were accused of \"playing politics\" with the issue last year when Lib Dem defence minister Nick Harvey said delaying the decision until after the next election would turn Trident into a political \"hot potato\" for Labour. Labour have supported replacing Trident since the 1990s but some of their MPs are thought to be unhappy with the policy.",

CPR is when you press up and down on a casualty's chest and give them a series of breaths to help pump blood around their body when their heart can't. To mark the British Heart Foundation's Restart a Heart Day, both Aaron and David have spoken to Radio 1 Newsbeat about what happened. Aaron: He wasn't breathing, so I rang 999, dragged him down to the floor and started doing chest compressions on him. I'd had some informal training at the scouts and an NHS day in Liverpool with school a couple of years before. But I didn't know I could do it. I'd never practised. It was like an emotionless experience. I was speaking to the operator and he did talk me through it. After four minutes of doing chest compressions, the ambulance actually arrived. They got the defibrillator out. After about four blasts on that we got a heartbeat. David: I woke up in hospital, I had complete memory loss for a week. I felt very proud of Aaron really. Aaron: I actually wrote him a letter for when he woke up as the doctor said he might have some short-term memory loss. It just explained why he was there. It helped my dad and his recovery throughout the week, to try and get his head round it. It's really hard for him to understand. One minute you're on the couch, next minute you're in hospital with no clue why you're there. David: For me it was when I woke up and saw that note. Even now, when it gets read out, it sends a shiver down my back. In some respects I felt very emotionally traumatised. Waking up in hospital and learning I had complete memory loss for a week. I have a very special relationship with Aaron that's unique. I had no idea he had those CPR skills. In some respects that's what made me even more emotional. Had he not had those skills, I wouldn't still be here. Aaron: I think it's been strange for my dad to get over it. During the events he had no recollection of why he was there for a good two weeks. It's only when we got back to the house and he got his memory back that we learnt to deal with that emotion and trauma. It has brought us closer together afterwards. David: We've always had this wonderful relationship even before what happened. A lot of the things that have happened to me afterwards have been quite unusual. Having an internal defibrillator fitted and learning the psychological aspect of that. I've turned it round from being a negative to being a positive. Aaron's been a great inspiration for that. I was also surprised by his knowledge. He explains things to me. It just stunned me that he knew what he did and I can't get over it really. It's an amazing thing to be with him. Aaron: The way I looked at it was, if I do nothing he's no better but if I do something he might be better. That's my advice. If you do nothing they're not going to get better, but if you do something hopefully they will. So even if you don't know CPR, call an ambulance and they will tell you on the phone. You've just got to do it. It's a matter of life and death. For more information about CPR and Restart a Heart Day click here Follow Newsbeat on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter.

His mother Dawn Hollingworth said doctors told her his injuries were usually seen in fighter pilots suffering the effects of g-force. She warned others not to copy the \"silly prank\", which could have had \"life-changing consequences\" for Tyler. The schoolboy was with a group of older children at the park in Tuxford, Nottinghamshire, when he suggested they imitate the stunt, which features in hundreds of videos shared online. A video released by Ms Hollingworth, 51, shows him spread-eagled across the top of the roundabout as it spins around. At the end of the recording, he appears to fall down, his head flopping forward as the equipment comes to a stop.

But he was helped by another boy who was passing by, his mum said. \"The doctors said if he was not fit and healthy he could have quite easily had a stroke and died.\" Ms Hollingworth said she wanted to raise awareness of the dangers of the stunt . \"Tyler is aware he has done wrong and his injuries are caused by his own stupidity. \"But once he was unconscious he was unable to consent but they carried on and left him.\" Doctors likened Tyler's injuries to those sustained by fighter pilots when they are not wearing an oxygen mask, Ms Hollingworth said. Medics asked for her consent to write a medical paper, as they had never seen a case like it, she said. Nottinghamshire Police has appealed for witnesses, or anyone else with video of Wednesday's incident, to come forward.

            "input": "Public Health Scotland (PHS) said 78 such patients were discharged to care homes between 1 March and 21 April. Only 650 of the total 3,599 elderly patients discharged from hospital during the period had been tested. Nicola Sturgeon, however, said there was \"no statistical evidence\" hospital discharges led to care home outbreaks. The analysis found the size of care home played a bigger role, with the largest much more likely to have outbreaks than smaller ones. Deaths in care homes account for about half of Covid-related deaths in Scotland, with about 2,000 resident deaths. The first minister has previously said she only became aware from media reports that Covid-positive patients had been sent to care homes. Quoting from the PHS report at her daily briefing Ms Sturgeon said: \"The analysis does not find statistical evidence that hospital discharges of any kind were associated with care home outbreaks.\" But she added: \"Nothing in it detracts from the tragedy of the deaths that have occurred in care homes over the course of the pandemic, and nothing ever will detract from the heartbreak of those bereaved.\" The delayed PHS report said nearly 5,000 individuals were discharged from NHS hospitals to care homes until the end of May, and about a third of care homes have had Covid outbreaks. Of 78 patients discharged before 21 April after having had a positive test result, only 10 had been retested and found to be negative prior to discharge. But the analysis found the biggest link in outbreaks was the size of the home itself - with possible factors including greater movement of staff at the larger homes, or a higher average age of residents. It found that more than 90% of homes with more than 90 residents had an outbreak, compared to under 4% of homes with fewer than 20 residents. While there were some indicators that suggested hospital discharges did increase the risk of an outbreak, the study was relatively small in statistical terms and the authors found no \"statistically significant\" evidence. Health Secretary Jeane Freeman: \"The data from this report gives us a better understanding of the impact of discharges on outbreaks in care homes. \"We will be taking forward the recommendations that PHS make in their report, and we will continue to adapt our guidance and the steps we are taking to protect care home staff and residents.\" The Scottish government introduced a new policy on 21 April that required patients to have two negative Covid tests before leaving hospital, and all new care home admissions to be isolated for 14 days. The report said a further 1,605 hospital discharges took place after this date, and 93% were tested in line with clinical guidance. However, another 45 patients were discharged to care homes having had one positive test but without a second test result to confirm they were negative. The report noted there were valid clinical reasons for not testing some individuals prior to discharge such as \"capacity to consent to testing and avoiding causing distress, and to appropriateness of testing\" - for instance in cases of end of life care. 'My mum had more living to do' For relatives who lost elderly loved ones in the early weeks of the pandemic today's report does little to answer their questions. Jackie Marlow's mother, Helen McMillan, died during an outbreak at a care home which she's convinced began when another elderly woman was discharged from hospital, developing a cough and later dying with suspected Covid. This resident was one of nearly 3,000 hospital discharges at the time who were never tested, so the uncertainty remains. \"That's not her fault, it's not her family's fault - they lost her too,\" says Jackie. \"Had she been kept in hospital, had she been tested then maybe she'd still be here today because maybe she would have got the treatment that would have kept her alive - and my mum would still be here today.\" She says there was no offer of her mother being transferred to hospital or getting oxygen. Visiting was suspended at the time and she was unable to be with her mother to hold her hand. \"They say it was unprecedented times - but does that mean because you're old you don't matter anymore, you don't count. It's horrific - my mum had so much more living to do.\" Rodney Laing said his 80-year-old father, Rodger, was handed a \"death sentence\" when he was moved from Midlothian Community Hospital to a care home in May. The dementia patient caught Covid and he died 22 days after moving into the home. His son told BBC Radio Scotland's Drivetime with John Beattie: \"He was fit and healthy, within three weeks and one day he passed away, he had to die alone with a bunch of strangers. It was just terrible.\" Dr Donald Macaskill, chief executive of Scottish Care which represents private sector care homes, said the report was a \"robust statistical analysis\" but did not \"tell the whole story\". He said: \"The whole story can only really be told, and to be fair the report acknowledges this, when we talk to people at ground level - that's the staff, the managers, the operators of care homes - to see what their experience is. \"Behind each statistic there is a human story and behind each incident and outbreak there are the experiences of staff, some of whom are convinced in some cases that the infection arrived in the care home as a result of discharge. \"That's a minority but we need to hear that story and need to hear that as part of the evidence.\" He repeated his call for a \"human rights-based inquiry\" into the experiences of care homes during the pandemic. Opposition politicians said the report highlighted grave failings and called for ministers to be called to account. Scottish Conservative Holyrood leader Ruth Davidson said: \"The SNP government's response to this report is wholly inadequate and will give little comfort to those grieving families still trying to find out how and why their loved one died. \"Thousands of patients were transferred without a test and over 100 people, who were known to have coronavirus, were sent to care homes alongside some of the most vulnerable people in our society.\" For Scottish Labour, Monica Lennon said: \"The decision to move patients with Covid-19 into care homes was reckless and SNP ministers must be held to account for this Russian roulette strategy. \"The combination of knowingly transferring the virus into care homes and not bothering to test hundreds of other patients before moving them, is unfathomable.\" Scottish Greens health spokesperson Alison Johnstone said the \"scandal\" had been known for some time but the scale of it was \"astonishing\". She said: \"Care homes are supposed to be safe havens for some of the most vulnerable people in our communities and it is an absolute tragedy that so many people have been fatally let down in this way. \"That so many families have lost a loved one due to systematic policy failures is an appalling reflection on the handling of this crisis.\" And Willie Rennie, leader of the Scottish Lib Dems, said: \"Our care homes had a monumental challenge keeping residents safe from the virus but the government made that task even harder by failing to stop people with the virus from entering the homes and not even finding out if thousands more had the virus. \"It's easy with hindsight to see the sense in testing all people before admission to care homes but you don't need hindsight as I warned the first minister repeatedly at the time.\"",

            "input": "By Hannah RichardsonBBC News education reporter A third of teachers polled for the Association of Teachers and Lecturers said they had dealt with violence like pushing, punching or kicking this year. ATL head Mary Bousted said some pupils had a \"total disregard\" for school rules. They were as likely to be \"overindulged middle class\" pupils as disadvantaged ones, she added. The teaching union surveyed 814 teachers and support staff at UK schools on the issue, and heard tales of violence in the classroom. More than half said they felt behaviour had worsened in the past five years. One teaching assistant at a state primary in England said: \"A pupil once hit me in the back totally unexpectedly, because I asked her to put a book away. I was so winded and hurt that I couldn't carry on that day.\" Another, at a school in Wales, said: \"I had a female student threaten to kick the smile off my face, in front of the whole class.\" While a teacher at an English state secondary recalled \"six boys refusing to work, throwing glue, pens, fighting and throwing books\". When teachers were asked about the root cause of poor behaviour, three-quarters (72.9%) blamed a lack of positive role models at home. And nearly two-thirds (62.7%) said that breakdown of relationships within a family was a main cause. 'Lack of respect' Some 73% said pupils behaved badly because they were seeking attention from their classmates and 42% blamed neglect at home as a factor. A member of a school management team in England said: \"A change in pupils' behaviour is not helped by the lack of respect that parents show towards staff in school - there is no wonder that some pupils are rude when this is what they see as a role model.\" Dr Bousted said: \"A minority of children are very aware of their rights, have a total disregard for school rules and are rather less aware of their responsibility for their own learning and how to show respect to staff and other students. \"This can apply as much to overindulged middle class children as those from challenging families. \"It is not surprising to see that poor behaviour is often attributed to problems at home. \"Teachers need to work with parents to encourage good behaviour and parents should be acting as good role models by supporting staff and helping them create a more positive learning environment for their children.\" A Department for Education spokesman said: \"Unless there is good behaviour in schools, teachers cannot teach and students cannot learn. We want to put teachers back in control of the classroom. \"That is why we are toughening up discipline powers so that teachers are better able to deal quickly with bad behaviour. \"Schools can now issue no notice detentions, we have clarified the guidance on use of force and we are giving teachers more search powers.\"",

            "input": "By Jonathan AmosBBC Science Correspondent The encounter occurred some 6.5bn km (4bn miles) away, making it the most distant ever exploration of an object in our Solar System. New Horizons acquired gigabytes of photos and other observations during the pass. It will now send these home over the coming months. The radio message from the robotic craft was picked up by one of Nasa's big antennas, in Madrid, Spain. It had taken fully six hours and eight minutes to traverse the great expanse of space between Ultima and Earth. Controllers at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory in Maryland greeted the reception of the signal with cheers and applause. \"We have a healthy spacecraft,\" announced Mission Operations Manager Alice Bowman. \"We've just accomplished the most distant flyby.\" This first radio message contained only engineering information on the status of the spacecraft, but it included confirmation that New Horizons executed its autonomous flyby observations as instructed and that the probe's onboard memory was full. A later downlink on Tuesday will see some choice images returned to give scientists and the public a taster of what New Horizons saw through its cameras. If there is one note of caution it is that the timing and orientation of the spacecraft had to be spot on if the probe was not to shoot pictures of empty space! As a result, there will continue to be some anxiety until the data can be examined. \"The highest resolution images taken at closest approach required perfect pointing, almost,\" said Project Scientist Hal Weaver. \"We think, based on everything we've seen so far, that was achieved.\" Other stories on the BBC you might like: Ultima is in what's termed the Kuiper belt - the band of frozen material that orbits the Sun more than 2 billion km further out than the eighth of the classical planets, Neptune; and 1.5 billion km beyond even the dwarf planet Pluto which New Horizons visited in 2015. It's estimated there are hundreds of thousands of Kuiper members like Ultima, and their frigid state almost certainly holds clues to the formation conditions of the Solar System 4.6 billion years ago. The vast separation between New Horizons and Earth, coupled with the probe's small, 15-watt transmitter, mean data rates are glacial, however. They top out at 1 kilobit per second. To retrieve all of the imagery stored on the probe is therefore expected to take until September 2020. The first of the very highest resolution pictures should come down to Earth in February. But this wouldn't delay the science, said Principal Investigator Alan Stern. \"The [lower resolution] images that come down this week will already reveal the basic geology and structure of Ultima for us, and we're going to start writing our first scientific paper next week,\" he told reporters. Even just the final picture released from the approach phase to the flyby contained tantalising information. Ultima appears in it as just a blob, but immediately it has allowed researchers to refine their estimate of the object's size - about 35km by 15km. What's so special about the Kuiper belt? Several factors make Ultima Thule, and the domain in which it moves, so interesting to scientists. One is that the Sun is so dim in this region that temperatures are down near 30-40 degrees above absolute zero. As a result, chemical reactions have essentially stalled. This means Ultima is in such a deep freeze that it is probably perfectly preserved in the state in which it formed. Another factor is that Ultima is small (about 30km across), and this means it doesn't have the type of \"geological engine\" that in larger objects will rework their composition. And a third factor is just the nature of the environment. It's very sedate in the Kuiper belt. Unlike in the inner Solar System, there are probably very few collisions between objects. The Kuiper belt hasn't been stirred up. Alan Stern said: \"Everything that we're going to learn about Ultima - from its composition to its geology, to how it was originally assembled, whether it has satellites and an atmosphere, and that kind of thing - is going to teach us about the original formation conditions in the Solar System that all the other objects we've gone out and orbited, flown by and landed on can't tell us because they're either large and evolve, or they are warm. Ultima is unique.\" What does New Horizons do next? First, the scientists must work on the Ultima data, but they will also ask Nasa to fund a further extension to the mission. The hope is that the course of the spacecraft can be altered slightly to visit at least one more Kuiper belt object sometime in the next decade. New Horizons should have just enough fuel reserves to be able to do this. Critically, it should also have sufficient electrical reserves to keep operating its instruments into the 2030s. The longevity of New Horizon's plutonium battery may even allow it to record its exit from the Solar System. The two 1970s Voyager missions have both now left the heliosphere - the bubble of gas blown off our Sun (one definition of the Solar System's domain). Voyager 2 only recently did it, in November. And in case you were wondering, New Horizons will never match the Voyagers in terms of distance travelled from Earth. Although New Horizons was the fastest spacecraft ever launched in 2006, it continues to lose ground to the older missions.

Her husband - fencing coach Andre Spitzer - was one of 11 Israeli athletes and trainers killed when the Palestinian \"Black September\" organisation attacked apartments in the Olympic village and took them hostage in what was the darkest chapter in Olympic history. The world looked on in horror as friendly competition was replaced by killing and bloodshed. Many of those who died, including a West German police officer, were killed in a botched rescue effort. Five Palestinian hostage takers were killed. Others were tracked down and subsequently killed by Israeli intelligence forces over the following years. Mrs Spitzer told the BBC: \"Our message is not one of hatred or revenge. \"It's the opposite. We want the world to remember what happened there so that this will never happen again.\" Olympic ideals Speaking from her Israeli home she said we should all vow, \"that we will not bend for terrorism and that we stand for the Olympic ideal of friendship, brotherhood and peace\". A spokesman for London 2012 said in a statement that tributes would be paid to the victims at a separate ceremony at London's Guildhall in what was a joint initiative between the Israeli Embassy, the country's Olympic Committee and the Jewish Community. It said that was \"the most appropriate way to pay tribute to the athletes\" at London 2012. Games organisers Locog and the International Olympic Committee may fear provoking a walkout from some Arab countries and are keen to avoid the games being politicised. Ankie Spitzer said the parallel Guildhall ceremony is not enough. She rejected the idea that a minute's silence during the opening ceremony itself could be seen as a political gesture rather than an act of remembrance. She argued that what happened was an assault on the Olympic movement itself so they should all remember the victims. \"They were not accidental tourists\" she said. \"They were part of the Olympic family and they should be remembered within the framework of the Olympics.\" An online petition supporting her initiative has gained 83,000 signatures worldwide. Ankie Spitzer's campaign has drawn attention to those terrible events 40 years ago but it is also a reminder of the security threats facing London 2012 and the veneer which masks the world's real conflicts when athletes take to the track.",

He was given a six month suspended sentence at Newport Magistrates' Court. Pit Bull Terriers are a banned in the UK under the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991. Evans was also banned from keeping dogs for eight years. He was arrested after the RSPCA discovered five of the dogs in a kennel near his home and a sixth was later found at his house. Prosecutor Aled Watkins said: \"Evans was involved in organised dog fighting and kept six Pit Bull Terriers to be used in this barbaric crime. \"The aggravating features in this case are the numbers of fighting dogs he kept. \"Quite frighteningly, one dog had been bred from and her puppies were offered for sale over the internet. \"The day after Evans' trial finished we heard the sad news involving the death of a child cause by a banned Pit Bull. \"It is a frightening feature of this case.\" All six dogs were ordered to be destroyed by the RSPCA with dog fighting equipment and graphic books showing dog fighting. 'Extremely unhealthy' South Wales Police raided Evans' home and seized first aid kits containing syringes and antibiotics allegedly used to treat dogs after fights. Officers also uncovered \"break sticks\" used to open dogs' jaws. District judge John Charles told Evans: \"You have an extremely unhealthy interest in Pit Bull fighting. \"There is evidence of injury to the dogs and there is a potential of more serious harm as you bred from one of the dogs and offered the puppies for sale.\" Evans was also convicted of four charges of having equipment for use in connection with an animal fight. Clive Rees, defending, pleaded for Evans' liberty because he is due to become a father on Thursday. 'Very organised' He was also ordered to carry out 200 hours unpaid work and fined £1,000. RSPCA chief inspector Michael Butcher told the court how organised dog fighting was thriving in underground leagues across the country. \"It's quite a small fraternity with almost exclusively Pit Bull type dogs used, being bred for the purpose,\" he said. \"They will meet any dog in a pit face-to-face and go through the pain barrier. \"The dogs will be trained - it is very organised.\"",

Footage broadcast on Channel 7 showed local people saying they would call the police if she didn't leave. The ban on burkinis in several French Riviera towns was overruled in August by the top administrative court. Local mayors who brought in the laws said the full- body swimsuits were a symbol of Islam and potentially provocative after the July terror atrocity in Nice. Ms Alshelh said she and her family travelled to France to learn more about the situation and see if there was \"anything that we can do to help these girls just live a normal life\". She told the BBC's Newsday she \"couldn't comprehend how it was illegal\" to go a public beach in a burkini.

Other beachgoers gestured at her or made disapproving comments. Ms Alshelh said she didn't feel she had been \"inflammatory\" by going to the beach. She said she \"just went as a tourist\". \"I looked at the beach and you just want to swim.\" Ms Alshelh had told Channel 7 that the view that Muslim women who choose to cover their hair or face are oppressed was false. \"I just find it ridiculous,\" she said. \"It is a symbol of my faith, it is a symbol of my religion, it is a symbol of Islam and to go out there and wear the hijab, it helps people focus on what's inside rather than what's on the outside.\" What is a burkini?

West Sussex County Council said it was just trying to reassure residents. The demonstration in Balcombe is now in its 12th day but energy firm Cuadrilla began drilling at the site on Friday. Campaigners fear the tests could lead to hydraulic fracturing, also known as fracking. 'No inconvenience' Council leader Louise Goldsmith has sent letters to residents that read: \"I am very sorry for the disruption that you have experience over the past couple of weeks from protesters at Lower Stumble Wood. \"Here at West Sussex Council Council, the interests of our residents are our primary concern and I am keen to ensure that we support you as much as we can during this challenging time.\" It also states Cuadrilla have planning permission for temporary use of the site for a \"hydrocarban exploratory borehole\" but do not have approval for fracking. Mrs Horne said: \"I'm livid about it. How can somebody from West Sussex County Council presume to apologise for something that many, many Balcombe residents are supporting? \"These people are supposed to be looking after our interests in Balcombe and representing what we think about this and it seems to be that they're representing the interests of this industry that is on our doorstep. \"It's going to go across the whole of Sussex and much, much further. I'm furious about it and I'm not the only one.\" She added: \"We need to know on what basis are the county council making this apology. \"I have had no inconvenience from these people who are here.

It is not for us to pass judgement as to the validity of that protest. \"Our intention in writing to those living closest to the site was to provide reassurance that we are ensuring compliance with the terms of the planning permission and working with other authorities to minimise disruption. \"Furthermore, given the wide range of views on this issue we wanted to assure residents that they will be able to express those views should there be any possibility of fracking at the site in the future.\" More than 30 people have been arrested since last Friday, mainly on suspicion of obstructing deliveries, including the daughter of Kinks star Ray Davies and Pretenders singer Chrissie Hynde, Natalie Hynde.

            "input": "The comments dampen hopes raised by airlines that travel to and from the country could resume as early as July. Department of Health Secretary Brendan Murphy made the prediction after being asked about the coronavirus' escalation in other nations. Dr Murphy spearheaded Australia's early action to close its borders last March. \"I think that we'll go most of this year with still substantial border restrictions,\" he told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation on Monday. \"Even if we have a lot of the population vaccinated, we don't know whether that will prevent transmission of the virus,\" he said, adding that he believed quarantine requirements for travellers would continue \"for some time\". Citizens, permanent residents and those with exemptions are allowed to enter Australia if they complete a 14-day hotel quarantine at their own expense. Qantas - Australia's national carrier - reopened bookings earlier this month, after saying it expected international travel to \"begin to restart from July 2021.\" However, it added this depended on the Australian government's deciding to reopen borders. Australia's tight restrictions The country opened a travel bubble with neighbouring New Zealand late last year, but currently it only operates one-way with inbound flights to Australia. Australia has also discussed the option of travel bubbles with other low-risk places such as Taiwan, Japan and Singapore. A vaccination scheme is due to begin in Australia in late February. Local authorities have resisted calls to speed up the process, giving more time for regulatory approvals. Australia has so far reported 909 deaths and about 22,000 cases, far fewer than many nations. It reported zero locally transmitted infections on Monday. Experts have attributed much of Australia's success to its swift border lockdown - which affected travellers from China as early as February - and a hotel quarantine system for people entering the country. Local outbreaks have been caused by hotel quarantine breaches, including a second wave in Melbourne. The city's residents endured a stringent four-month lockdown last year to successfully suppress the virus. Other outbreaks - including one in Sydney which has infected about 200 people - prompted internal border closures between states, and other restrictions around Christmas time. The state of Victoria said on Monday it would again allow entry to Sydney residents outside of designated \"hotspots\", following a decline in cases. While the measures have been praised, many have also criticised them for separating families across state borders and damaging businesses. Dr Murphy said overall Australia's virus response had been \"pretty good\" but he believed the nation could have introduced face masks earlier and improved its protections in aged care homes. In recent days, Australia has granted entry to about 1,200 tennis players, staff and officials for the Australian Open. The contingent - which has recorded at least nine infections - is under quarantine.",

It allows the firm to challenge Apple's bestselling iPad with a device that can run standard applications such as its own Office programs and Photoshop. But it puts Microsoft in competition with other manufacturers planning to release tablets designed for Windows 8. The company's chief executive, Steve Ballmer, said he had wanted to give the software \"its own companion hardware\". The devices have 10.6 inch (26.9cm) displays, built-in kickstands and are housed in magnesium cases - which the company described as the first of their kind. The ARM-based tablets are 9.3mm (0.4 inches) thick - slightly less than the iPad - and run the Windows RT version of the new system. The Verge reported that the chipset will be built by Nvidia . Third-party developers must rewrite programs from scratch to run on the system's Metro interface to work on these devices. The versions using Intel's x86 technology run Windows 8 Pro and are 13.5mm (0.5 inches) thick. These can run Metro and an updated version of the \"classic\" desktop meaning they can use software designed for earlier editions of Windows, although some programs will need to be updated to be compatible. The specifications mean the Surface tablets have bigger screens than the iPad but are heavier. Pen input A variety of accompanying covers can be attached using built-in magnets. They double as keyboards with trackpads. One version is flat while the other offers keys that can be depressed. The devices are also designed to work with a pen accessory using what the firm dubbed \"digital ink\". When the stylus is held close to the screen of the tablet it ignores touch-input from the users' hands and \"samples\" the ink at 600dpi (dots per inch). The ARM-based version will be available with either 32GB (gigabytes) or 64GB of storage. Microsoft said they would be priced at a similar rate to other tablets using the same type of processor built by other firms. It added that the Intel-based versions would be offered with either 64GB or 128GB of storage and would have price tags comparable to ultrabook laptops. Different chipsets One tech analyst told the BBC that other hardware makers were likely to feel aggrieved by the news. \"Microsoft can offer a competitive price for these specifications as it doesn't need to pay itself a licence for the Windows 8 software which other manufacturers will have to do, and that might make its PC and tablet-making partners unhappy,\" said Carolina Milanesi, research vice president at the technology consultants Gartner. She added that the firm appeared to have focused on a specific part of the market which wanted a more powerful device than the iPad. \"They seem to be be targeting a professional audience,\" she said. \"So they are going head-to-head with Apple within the corporate sector. Price will be key - these devices won't be at the bottom end of the market. They will probably let other manufacturers fight over that space.\" By contrast the tech research firm Forrester said it thought the focus for ARM-based Surface tablets would be consumers, rather than the enterprise sector. But one of its analysts warned there was a risk customers would shy away if they found it confusing distinguishing between the two types of Windows 8 experience. This will be the first time Microsoft will offer a version of its PC system designed for chips based on ARM's architecture. \"Microsoft will be its own worst enemy in this market,\" blogged Sarah Rotman Epps . \"Consumers aren't used to thinking about chipsets. Choice is a key tenet of Windows, but too much choice is overwhelming for consumers. Apple gets this, and limits iPad options to connectivity, storage, and black… or white.\" ARM's ambitions Despite the potential for confusion, British chip designer ARM said it was \"excited\" by the news. The firm's designs have already proved popular with smartphone makers, but Microsoft's support for its technology in Windows 8 offers it the potential to expand into a market dominated until now by Intel and AMD. \"This represents a significant milestone in Microsoft's journey to expand the support of the Windows operating system and embrace the ARM architecture,\" said Lance Howarth, the firm's vice president of marketing. \"With the Surface for Windows RT announcement we are delighted to see yet another example of this partnership in action which follows on from various Windows RT devices demonstrated at Taiwan's Computex show recently.\" Intel said it was also \"pleased\" about Microsoft's move. \"Intel believes in and supports an open and healthy ecosystem that delivers a broad scale of innovation and choice in solutions and user experiences,\" a statement said. \"We also believe Windows 8 on Intel architecture will deliver the most complete experience with the best performance and compatibility across all computing platforms.\"",

All have been at the BBC for a number of decades and have broken and covered many high-profile stories. Head of BBC News NI Adam Smyth said their professionalism and dedication had been \"beyond inspiring\". The BBC carried out a trawl for voluntary redundancy in June and the four journalists have decided to leave as part of that process. Experience Mark Devenport joined the BBC as a trainee reporter in 1986 and became the political editor of BBC Northern Ireland in 2001. He covered the IRA ceasefire and the Good Friday Agreement as the BBC's Ireland correspondent and spent two years in New York as the United Nations correspondent. He also presented BBC Radio Ulster's longest running political programme Inside Politics and has been central to coverage of many elections. Maggie Taggart served as BBC News NI's arts and education correspondent for 20 years from 1995 to 2015. She began her career in journalism in the late 1970s and has presented many flagship programmes for the BBC including Good Morning Ulster and Scene Around Six. She also worked for BBC Radio 4's Women's Hour, and since 2015 has been a senior journalist in the Northern Ireland newsroom. Investigative journalism Mervyn Jess joined BBC News NI in 1988 after beginning his career in journalism in the late 1970s and is one of BBC Newsline's most familiar faces. He reported extensively on the Drumcree dispute in the 1990s and many other contentious parades. He also reported for the BBC from Iraq after the fall of Saddam Hussein and later was embedded with Royal Irish Regiment and the Irish Guards on two separate tours during the conflict in Afghanistan. Kevin Magee joined the BBC in 1992 and has specialised in investigative journalism. After 12 years as a reporter the Spotlight programme, he became investigations correspondent for BBC News NI in 2015. He has won a number of awards for his investigative work and has also made documentaries and programmes for BBC Gaeilge. 'Embedded in the fabric' Head of BBC News NI Adam Smyth said all four would be missed by their colleagues. \"Mark, Kevin, Maggie and Mervyn have reported on, investigated and uncovered countless significant stories in the public interest with the utmost diligence, tenacity, expertise and impartiality,\" he said. \"They are embedded in the fabric of the BBC News NI newsroom and BBC Northern Ireland as a whole and the professionalism and dedication they have given to their craft has been beyond inspiring.\" \"While we will miss them as respected colleagues, mentors and, most of all, friends, we are happy for them and wish them every success and happiness in the future.\"",

Over two million people have waited over 18 weeks for surgery, the highest number since records began in 2007. In July, NHS trusts in England were told they should get back to about 80% of last year's levels of in-patient procedures by the end of September. Cataracts are cloudy patches on the lens that cause loss of sight. And surgery to replace the affected lens with an artificial one is the most commonly performed operation in the UK. It usually takes about 20-40 minutes under local anaesthetic. And Moorfields aims to have patients in and out within 90 minutes. 'In focus' One of more than 100 patients being operated on at the specialist hospital in a single day, Brenda Silverman, 77, had to isolate for three days, and take a coronavirus test, before her surgery could go ahead. Before the operation, she said: \"I haven't been seeing so well. \"The glare and the blinding at night is awful.\" And afterwards, she said: \"Everything is in focus. \"There's nothing I can't see. \"Everything is bright and cheerful.\" Cataract service director Vincenzo Maurino said Moorfields had had to rethink \"almost everything to make this possible\". \"Doing four times more what we were doing will ensure our waiting list, which has gone up to four months, will come down significantly,\" he said. \"Also, we don't know what the future has ahead so we want to learn from this experience, repeat it or find other ways or be adaptable.\" The \"cataract drive\" will use eight operating theatres, including those at Moorfields's private facility. And 80 St John Ambulance volunteers will assist with pre-operative assessments and accompanying patients. 'Worrying symptoms' An NHS official said: \"Elective surgery has already rebounded from around a third of its usual rate during the peak of Covid to well over two-thirds in August, with further increases since then. \"Staff are working hard to ensure that clinics, diagnostic facilities and theatres are as safe as possible. \"So if you or a loved one have worrying symptoms, please don't put off seeing your GP. \"And if you're then asked to attend a hospital appointment, please do.\"",

            "input": "David ShukmanScience editor Even in the remote waters of Antarctica, they have found evidence of plastic killing and harming seabirds. Wandering albatrosses – which have the longest wingspan of any birds alive today – are thought to be especially vulnerable. Nesting on the barren islands of South Georgia, they feed their young by scouring thousands of miles of ocean for squid and fish but often bring back plastic instead. The final episode of what has become the most-watched TV programme of the year explores how the oceans are threatened by human activities including overfishing and pollution. It will be broadcast on Sunday 10 December. In a particularly moving scene, Dr Lucy Quinn, a zoologist, is seen checking albatross chicks on Bird Island where she was the British Antarctic Survey’s winter manager for more than two years. One chick that Dr Quinn found dead and later dissected was killed because a plastic toothpick that it swallowed had pierced its stomach. Others had regurgitated plastic items including cling film, food packaging, cutlery and parts of bottles. Dr Quinn told me: “I feel real shame and anger that it’s humans who have caused this problem. \"It’s really sad because you get to know the birds and how long it takes the parents, away for ten days at a time, to collect food for their chicks and what they bring back is plastic. \"And what’s sad is that the plague of plastic is as far-reaching as these seemingly pristine environments.\" It's not known how many albatross chicks in Antarctica die from plastic pollution every year – it's thought to be fewer than the losses suffered by Laysan albatrosses on Midway Atoll in the Pacific . But on Bird Island, predators often eat dead chicks before the researchers can reach them – and the suspicion is that the effect of the plastic goes beyond the direct killing of seabirds. According to Dr Quinn, the threat is more insidious, weakening birds as they waste energy trying to digest plastic, which has no nutritional value, and potentially poisoning them as chemicals are released when the plastic breaks down in their stomachs. Research at the other end of the world into a smaller relative of the albatross – the fulmars of the North Sea – shows that while plastics may directly kill seabirds, it is the debilitating effects of the waste that could be more serious. Studies of fulmars found dead on beaches or caught accidentally by fishermen – which Dr Quinn has also been involved in – show that from 2010-2014, UK fulmars were found to contain on average 39 particles of plastic weighing a total of 0.32 grams. In an unsettling image, the volume of space taken up by that plastic in a fulmar’s belly is the equivalent in a human stomach of the contents of a typical lunchbox, and usually the plastic is made up of consumer items used just once and then thrown away. Most shocking is the effect of party balloons, released in a moment of celebration, but then catching the eye of a fulmar searching for food. Dr Quinn remembers one occasion when she dissected one of the birds. \"I couldn’t believe my eyes, seeing a balloon in the bird’s oesophagus, which would have killed it, along with cling film, toothbrushes and packaging – I feel extremely sad for the birds and impatient to do something,\" she said. The plastic may be undermining the fulmars’ health, which could affect their ability to breed - with long-term implications for the population as a whole. The threat from plastic waste is not limited to pieces that are visible – bottles, bags and other items break down into minute fragments, or \"micro-plastics\", which enter the food chain in every corner of the ocean. Scientists from the University of Newcastle even identified tiny fibres in the smallest creatures living in the deepest part of the Pacific, the Mariana Trench. Dr Jon Copley, of the University of Southampton, who joined the Blue Planet submarine filming in Antarctica, says that although he did not spot any plastic in the polar waters, he has been shocked by its presence elsewhere. \"When I've seen plastic in the deep ocean - such as a bin liner we found near deep-sea vents in the Cayman Trough - there's an initial shock and disappointment that our rubbish has got here before us as explorers. \"But then there's the realisation that our everyday lives are more connected to the deep ocean than we perhaps think. \"Every piece of plastic rubbish has a story, so it also makes me wonder about the chain of events that led to that particular item ending up in the deep ocean, and whether any of those events could have been prevented.\" Follow David on Twitter: @davidshukmanbbc",

This poses a challenge to the media covering the crisis: what do you call people who are officially not there? The state-run and pro-government media in Russia have chosen to take little notice of them, and the heavily armed men are rarely if ever shown on TV. Instead, they show groups of lightly-armed \"volunteers\" described as local \"self-defence groups\". \"Polite men\" Russian journalists less aligned with the Kremlin often use the phrase \"polite men\". According to centrist daily Nezavisimaya Gazeta, \"'polite, armed men' are in charge of Crimea now\". Describing them as Russian troops in the Russian media \"is not the done thing, and even dangerous, too,\" prominent photojournalist Denis Sinyakov comments on independent website Colta. According to popular blogger Ilya Varlamov, the term \"polite men\" was invented by spin doctors who arrived in Crimea from Moscow. \"They are creating an image of a Russian liberator-soldier wearing a nice new uniform and armed with beautiful weapons, who has come to defend peaceful towns and villages,\" Mr Varlamov says. \"Little green men\" Another phrase used by reporters in Russia and Ukraine alike is \"little green men\", which refers both to the colour of their uniforms and their unconfirmed origin. Their involvement in Crimea is a \"tragicomic masquerade\", says Russian liberal newspaper Novaya Gazeta, which argues that \"the little green men will turn into Russian troops very soon\". According to Kiev-based private TV channel One Plus One, the term \"little green men\" was coined by local residents in Crimea. It is now frequently mentioned on Ukrainian TV, by a defence ministry spokesman in his posts on Facebook and even by Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk in his recent addresses to parliament. Some Ukrainian journalists have criticised the use of this term. \"Colleagues, stop using the affectionate term 'little green men' to describe the Russian troops,\" tweeted journalist Svyatoslav Tseholko. \"Otherwise you get the impression that we trust Putin more than we do common sense.\" 'Russian invaders' Most journalists in Ukraine, however, have little doubt about the true identity of the pro-Russian armed men. \"Russian invaders\" and \"occupiers from Russia\" is how popular Kiev-based news website Ukrayinska Pravda describes the military men in Crimea. Meanwhile, analytical daily Den calls them \"Russian extremists\", echoing language used by the Russian media to describe Islamist militants. Even outlets previously supportive of ousted President Viktor Yanukovych - such as Segodnya, a tabloid owned by Ukraine's richest man Rinat Akhmetov, - are now calling the military presence in Crimea \"an armed intervention\". Ukraine's most popular TV channel Inter is treading a more cautious line. Previously critical of the protests that led to President Yanukovych's downfall, Inter speaks of \"unknown armed men\" in Crimea. But it also said that they were bringing Russian military hardware to the peninsula. BBC Monitoring reports and analyses news from TV, radio, web and print media around the world.

            "input": "By Jim ReedBBC Newsnight A decade ago less than five per cent of US military aircraft were unmanned, now 40 per cent have no pilot on board - from small surveillance craft light enough to be launched by hand, to medium-sized armed drones and large spy planes. But the role of the drone is now changing. Millions of pounds are being sunk into civilian projects - everything from border security to police surveillance and even transporting goods. This year the US Congress passed legislation giving US airspace regulator the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) until September 2015 to open up its airspace to drones, and Britain is expected to follow suit. The UK's airspace regulator, the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), has told BBC Newsnight that large unmanned drones could be flying in British skies by the end of the decade. The CAA has already handed out 120 permits to fly small, lightweight drones. By 2020 this may be extended to larger unmanned aircraft. \"In aviation terms you can probably equate where we are with unmanned technology now to manned flight in 1918 or the early 1920s,\" Gerry Corbett at the CAA said. \"We've found them useful in war fighting and we can see the way ahead for commercial use.\" Large defence companies and small start-up firms are investing heavily in what many think could soon be a market worth tens of billions of pounds. To date the development of unmanned aircraft has been driven by the huge increase in military spending in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks. Now the sensors and cameras used in drones are cheap enough for a whole raft of civilian applications to be possible. 'Quiet revolution' Already the first tentative steps are being taken. Five police forces have tested small, lightweight drones as an alternative to traditional air support units, although only one force - Staffordshire - still uses the device. Earlier this year Kent Police signed a deal with partners in the UK, France and the Netherlands to develop an unmanned aircraft to monitor shipping in the English Channel. On the commercial side, small wing-shaped drones are already being used to photograph and analyse agricultural land. The data can be used to pinpoint where extra fertilizer and pesticide is needed. When in the air, the 2m (6.5 ft) long wings can fly by themselves from point to point using the same GPS technology found in most smartphones. \"It's potentially a quiet revolution that's going to come in,\" Sue Wolfe from the aerospace company Callen-Lenz, one of the two small British firms behind the project, said. \"It's a very exportable technology. You can see this scaling up for some of the big plains in Canada, for example.\" But the real money in the civilian market is likely to come not from small, lightweight drones, but from much larger unmanned aircraft. Unmanned cargo planes The US Department of Homeland Security is already using unarmed versions of the military's Predator craft to search for illegal immigrants along the Mexican border. Multinational freight firms like Federal Express are looking at using unmanned aircraft to deliver mail and cargo long distance. But before the emerging civilian drone industry can really get going, some serious safety and privacy hurdles have to be overcome. The US airspace regulator the FAA said it expects 10,000 unmanned commercial aircraft to be flying in American skies by 2017, a plan that has been met with some fierce criticism. Campaigns are now underway to make a number of US cities \"drone free\" and politicians are debating a privacy bill which would require drone operators on the US mainland to inform the government of any data collected. \"The public is just not aware how quickly this is happening. We're talking in the US of opening up the skies by 2015 and in the UK by 2020,\" said privacy campaigner Chris Coles who runs the Drone Wars blog. \"There is a real failure to have a proper discussion and debate about this in the UK. Very few parliamentarians for instance are talking about this.\" Avoidance systems But behind the scenes a large amount of public money is already being spent here in Britain. A consortium of defence companies led by BAE Systems has been given almost £31m in regional funding to try and prove civilian drones can safely share the skies with other airspace users. Another £17m has been spent turning an old military base at Aberporth in west Wales into Europe's first centre for flying and testing civilian drone aircraft. The key piece of technology currently missing is a \"detect-and-avoid\" system for civilian drones that will automatically steer the pilotless craft away from commercial airliners and crash land in a safe area if necessary. The CAA has made it clear that it will not approve the use of drones larger than 20kg in UK airspace until it is convinced the drone can automatically sense and avoid other aircraft \"If there is an accident at this stage it would set the industry back a long way,\" Mr Corbett at the CAA said. \"We're not there yet but there are a lot of people working on it very closely,\" he added. \"Whoever cracks the 'detect-and-avoid' nut first will, I think, have a winner on their hands.\"",

He said there was an imagined scenario that France, Germany and Britain would get together at a big summit and tell the small countries what's what. But he said: \"That's not the way the 21st Century works. That's certainly not the way the EU works\". Echoing other leaders, Mr Varadkar also questioned the the timetable set by Boris Johnson to get a trade deal with the rest of the EU by the end of the year. He disagreed with the Prime Minister's claim that there is \"bags of time\", saying: \"It will be difficult to do this,\" and suggesting that there might have to be an extension to the next part of the Brexit process, beyond the end of this year, to finalise a trade deal. He did however pledge to work \"night and day\" to try and get it done and said: \"We won't be dragging our feet\". The Taoiseach said to get a deal there would have to be legal assurances that the UK would not undercut the EU, agreeing a \"common set of minimum standards\", that would have to be \"high standards\". There is no question it's going to be a key area of contention in the coming months, saying that he did trust Boris Johnson, but that it was in \"black and white\" that were would have to be some checks on goods going from Great Britain into Northern Ireland, despite Boris Johnson's repeated insistence that there will not have to be. Looking back, Mr Varadkar said he had been genuinely afraid that the UK might have left the EU without a deal, but that a meeting between the two men on the Wirral in the autumn had provided the \"crucial moment\". He said the progress at the summit was the \"simple story\" of \"two guys in a room… talking turkey\" without their staff present, where they found a way that they could move forward. \"I knew when I was leaving Liverpool Airport that things were looking promising again,\" he said.

On Monday, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and European Council President Donald Tusk agreed there was still time for Ceta to be signed as planned on Thursday. But for the most part, Canada is letting European politics unfold. \"The Europeans are still hard at work. I wish them every success,\" Ms Freeland said in Ottawa. \"If Europe is ready to sign the agreement on October 27, we'll be there.\" On Friday, she was close to tears as she expressed her deep disappointment at the prospect of the deal unravelling. The Liberal government has been pushing hard to get the deal - originally negotiated with the EU by Canada's former conservative government - through. It even sought to improve the controversial Investor to State Dispute Settlements (ISDS) mechanisms - a system through which companies can sue countries for alleged discriminatory practices - by preserving a government's right to regulate. Belgium confirmed on Monday it could not sign Ceta, missing a deadline set by the European Commission. The stalemate comes after Wallonia's government, a French-speaking region in Belgium, voted to block it on 14 October. Mr Trudeau is broadly in favour of free trade, which Liberals see as a path to improving Canada's sluggish economy and job market. The Canada-EU deal potentially surpasses the North American Free Trade Agreement (Nafta) in scope. A joint Canada-EU study estimated Ceta would inject over CA$12b ($8.9bn/£7.3bn) of new revenue into the Canadian economy and increase trade by 20%. According to the European Commission, the value of bilateral trade in goods between the EU and Canada was CA$92.5bn ($69.1bn/£56.6bn) in 2015. Canada is the EU's 12th most important trading partner. From canola and barley growers to pork producers, automobile manufacturers, pharmaceutical companies and the aerospace industry, Ceta has strong support from Canadian business sectors seeking greater access to the EU's 508 million customers. The backlash against the deal is not as strong in Canada as in Europe, where there have been lawsuits, petitions and street protests. In fact, the few polls that have taken the temperature of the Canadian public on the issue suggest about 20% to 30% have no opinion on the deal at all. Still, there is opposition. Canadian dairy farmers fiercely oppose the deal, saying they are concerned with the level of access given to fine cheeses from Europe. There has also been concerns it would increase pharmaceutical costs, hurt farmers and the manufacturing sectors, and erode Canadian sovereignty.",

He is professor of practice in connectivity at Cardiff University's school of geography and planning. How do you think the rail franchise process has been handled? Ultimately we should stand back and congratulate Welsh Government and Transport for Wales (TfW) for running probably the most complex procurement in rail industry history - and certainly the biggest in Wales - to try to determine who their best partner is for developing the network for the next 15 years. They ended up with two very credible bidders, with two very good solutions I'm sure. And that follows four years earlier work that I was involved with in setting up the principles and the original concepts. When you consider that projects like this can take a long time. Take Crossrail - it was announced in 1987; that will open this year. We still haven't got a Heathrow runway. This is a remarkably quick turnaround for such a large scale project. What are the challenges now - how do we improve the rail service but also deliver the completely new South Wales Metro? It's huge, it's complicated, it's challenging but with Keolis you have a global organisation with a track record in delivering major urban transit systems. They run the Docklands Light Railway, they're now running the Manchester Metrolink, they have systems all over North America, France, Australia. They can do this. It's a three to five year design and implementation programme. We've gone through the original concept stage and two years of procurement, and now it's about designing and building the thing and then more after that. We've come a long way but I'm hugely excited we're going to do it at last. When will passengers see a difference? We will have to wait for details. But I'm sure any bidder would be looking at what they can do quickly, such as in terms of rolling stock. But in terms of the core Valley lines and the transformation we're talking about, there's a major infrastructure change that is required and that will take time.

The original features which were laid down - faster, more frequent services, more capacity, an extendable network, doing things which unlock new development opportunities for new stations and new lines - I think they will all be in there. In terms of what it will look like, you look at what Keolis do - a bit of light railway, underground, Metrolink - we'll see the detail in two weeks. But ultimately with an organisation of that scale and capacity, we'll see something pretty fantastic I think. Prof Barry was talking to Brian Meechan, BBC Wales business correspondent",

It comes against a backdrop of renewed calls for another ballot on independence in the wake of the general election. Meanwhile, Nicola Sturgeon is expected to make a statement on Tuesday afternoon. The Scottish government is to publish a \"detailed, democratic case\" for a referendum this week. Further legislation would need to be passed before a vote could be held and the first minister is expected to request a Section 30 order from the UK government shortly. A Section 30 order enables the UK government to transfer the legal powers to hold a second referendum to the Scottish Parliament. The Referendums Bill is likely to pass on the strength of SNP and Green votes, despite the three unionist parties opposing it previously. What else is happening at Holyrood on the final week before Christmas recess? Tuesday - Euro 2020 bill The majority of Tuesday afternoon will be given to the UEFA European Championship Bill, which will allow part of the Euro 2020's to be held in Glasgow. It includes measures to prevent ticket touting and unauthorised street trading. To that end it will create four new offences, all of which are largely modelled on those from the Commonwealth Games in 2014. Hampden park is set to host four matches in June 2020. This debate is bookended by topical questions on child poverty and COP25 before it and Labour MSP Alex Rowley leading a debate on food insecurity afterwards. In the morning, the Justice Committee continues its examination of the Children Bill, which seeks to improve the experience of children involved in family courts. The new proposals include allowing special measures, such as screens and live video links, to be used in Child Welfare Hearings, and to regulate child contact centres. Regulations would ensure child welfare reporters are trained to understand and respond to issues such as domestic abuse and coercive control. Scottish Women's Aid and a representative from the Scottish Children and Young People's Commissioner office are among those giving evidence. Wednesday - FGM MSPs will debate the Female Genital Mutilation (Protection and Guidance) Bill for the first time. It would see the creation of protection orders to protect a girl or woman at risk of FGM or to prevent further harm if it has already occurred. The practice has been illegal since 2005 but to date no-one has been prosecuted, despite medics treating hundreds of victims in Scotland in the last two years. Health, education and local government ministers face portfolio questions beforehand. The evening member's debate will focus on the use of financial abuse as a means of controlling partners, led by SNP MSP James Dornan. The communities committee has its first evidence session on a bill aiming to tackle period poverty. Labour MSP Monica Lennon's member's bill would ensure free access to sanitary products for all women. The Scottish government successfully rolled out a scheme to boost which has seen free products provided in schools, colleges and universities in August, leading to calls for it to be a statutory requirement. Thursday - final FMQs of 2019 The last first minister's questions of 2019 and the first since the general election is at noon. Then MSPs will spend over three hours amending and debating the Referendums Bill.

            "input": "The \"alternative Christmas message\" attracted 354 complaints about decency after it aired on Christmas Day. It showed an AI-generated version of the Queen, who made jokes about the Royal Family and the prime minister, and danced on top of a table. But after assessing things, Ofcom decided not to pursue the complaints about disrespecting the monarch. \"In our view, Channel 4 made clear that the images were deliberately manipulated as a device to question societal trust in what we see online,\" a spokeswoman for the regulator said. \"We also consider that the satirical tone of the film was in keeping with audience expectations of this broadcaster,\" it added. That decision is similar to Channel 4's own defence of the satire, in which it argued that the parody left viewers \"in no doubt that it was not real\". It also argued the message of the video as a whole was a warning about the importance of trust, and how easily convincing fake images and video can be created - even uploading a behind-the-scenes video about its creation. After airing on national television in the UK, the video has spread widely online, racking up nearly two million views on YouTube alone. It has not, however, been universally popular - on top of the formal complaints to Ofcom, it has a poor ratio of likes-to-dislikes on YouTube - with more than 19,000 likes, but nearly 5,000 dislikes. Face-replacement tech Deepfakes work by training a computer to draw a person's face by showing it thousands of photographs of that person, ideally from many different angles and in different lighting conditions. The computer can then draw that person's face on top of another actor's performance. The more varied and numerous the images used in training the model, the better the result - which is why it is almost universally used to fake the appearance of celebrities, who already have hours of available film or television footage available. But there are other limitations on the technology, too. The similarity in facial structure, size, and appearance of the actor whose face is being replaced affects the realism of the finished deepfake. It is also far easier to produce a convincing result if the person remains still, as movement can often reveal the artificial nature of the animation. The voice must also be replaced by an impersonator and the entire process is incredibly demanding, even for high-end computers, often taking many days of computation. However, the technique is advancing rapidly, and the results are becoming more convincing with each passing year, with major film firms such as Disney actively exploring the technique and developing their own variants.",

Although an earlier report from the state news agency Irna said 530 people had died, the death toll was later revised downward, to 432. But many more people are thought to have died and been buried without death certificates, meaning they are not included in the official figures. The government is scrambling to get aid to Kermanshah province in the west of the country, where hundreds of homes were destroyed and people have spent two nights outdoors in the cold. President Rouhani visited the region on Tuesday - a national day of mourning - and made an address that was broadcast live on TV. He said the government would lend and give money to those left homeless, and hold accountable anyone found not to have upheld building standards. \"Who is to be blamed?\" he asked. \"These are the issues that we should follow, we should find the culprits and people are waiting for us to introduce the culprits. \"We will do that, we will do that.\" A photograph circulating on social media shows an unaffected private building next to a collapsed building that was part of the Mehr project, a scheme created by previous President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to build two million housing units for people on low incomes. Mehr is Farsi for kindness, and under the scheme hundreds of homes were built in Sarpol-e Zahab. \"Pay attention, please, that some of these houses are very new, some of them have been built by the government and they are not very old,\" Mr Rouhani said. \"However, you can see that some buildings collapsed.

One aid agency said 70,000 people needed shelter after the quake, which struck at 21:18 local time (18:18 GMT) on Sunday, about 30km (19 miles) south of Darbandikhan in Iraq, near the north-eastern border with Iran. Government's slow response criticised Analysis by Jiyar Gol, BBC Persian Forty-eight hours after the earthquake, thousands of people complain that still they have no tents, food or water. They complain about the lack of co-ordination between security forces and aid agencies. Although many soldiers showed up, they didn't have enough ambulances or proper machinery to move rubble. More than 1,900 Kurdish mountain villages have been affected. The villagers say no one from the government has come to their rescue but ordinary Iranians from neighbouring cities and provinces have started sending aid. Most of the government-sponsored affordable housing complexes for the poor were damaged severely, and many died inside. Even the newly-built hospital in Sarpol-e-Zahab was completely destroyed. President Rouhani brought attention to this, saying those responsible for the projects - initiated under his predecessor's presidency - must be held accountable. But his opponents claim Mr Rouhani's aim is to divert attention from his own government's slow response to the victims. Tremors were felt as far away as Turkey, Israel and Kuwait. The earthquake was the deadliest of 2017, and one of the year's strongest. Although the quake hit both Iran and Iraq, the Iraqi side of the border is much more sparsely populated.

Most shops, offices, schools and petrol stations around the country closed on Monday on the first day of an indefinite strike called by unions. BBC News website readers in Nigeria have been getting in touch with their views. Agbon, Benin City, Edo state I am a bus driver, plying one of the routes in Benin City. I have a family of four and I have been staying at home since the strike began. I just pray that the government will listen to the people. Since the start of the fuel increase, it has been difficult for me to feed my family and take care of myself. Before the increase, I used to make 1,500 naira (£6; $9) to 2,000 naira (£8; $12) per day, after expenses. Today, it is difficult to even get 500 naira after expenses. This is because fuel has gone up over 120%, from 65 naira to 145 naira and the transport fare within my state remains the same because people cannot afford any increase. There doesn't seem much point in going to work because I am not making any money. What will I say to my family when I come home empty-handed and there is no money to buy food? There is no-one on the streets and the businesses that are open are taking advantage and increasing their prices. I have just spoken to my friend who has just bought fuel for 150 naira. I cannot afford this. We could not pass on the fuel increase to the passengers as they would instead trek on their bare feet to wherever they want to go. So we decided to carry them with the previous price of 50 naira per trip and not pass on the cost of the increase. At the end of the trip I end up getting the same amount it costs to buy fuel. The cost of bus maintenance has gone up and food items have also gone up. I cannot continue like this and I am praying for this government to reverse its decision because a lot of us cannot cope with this, as about 65% of the population have no job. To eat is very difficult. It feels like a crime to be poor. The government keep making policies that will not benefit the common man. Although I live in Port Harcourt, I am supporting the strike. I have not been able to go to my office to work but have been working from home instead. Suspending the protests is a good move for now. People have been suffering the effects and have not been able to go about their normal business. I am hoping that the government will take a cue from the unions' decision to suspend the protests and show some understanding in return. We have enough money in this country to provide the infrastructure that the government says it will put in place, without the removal of the subsidy. People do not trust that the government will carry out the necessary improvements and measures. The Nigerian government spends over 75% of the nation's budget on recurrent expenditure, with government officials junketing around the world and the national assembly takes 25% of the budget. Nigerians depend entirely on petroleum. We expect basic infrastructure and if we had proper power supplies, then the subsidy could be removed. Life here is very expensive. Fuel companies supply fuel for only four hours a day. The rest of the time you have to rely on your generator. The cost of everything has gone up. The government needs to show it can manage our resources but we don't believe that that they can do this. They also have to cut down on their expenditure if they want us to make sacrifices. They need to build refineries and we need better roads. They have to build confidence because at the moment, there is none. The removal of the fuel subsidy means I, like all other Nigerians, am paying more for virtually all essential commodities, from water, fuel and cement. In many cases more than double. It means less disposable income for me and most other Nigerians. Those of us who are against the removal of the subsidy are against the manner in which it has been done. If it is about government savings, we can show the government how to make savings in its expenditure. Some 72% of this year's budget - which is a matter of public record - will be going on salaries for the government and other officials and overhead costs. This is an indefensible figure and it needs to come down. There is too much 'pork' in the budget. In other words, things that are not going to add any value. Some $6m has been put aside for catering the presidential palace. We want to engage with the government. We want a dialogue. So far the government has taken a hard-line stance and I find it perplexing. I am not confident that the government that we are dealing with is a sensible or listening government. The salaries of the legislative assembly are some of the highest in the world. Out of a population of 160 million people, more than 70% survive on less than $2 a day, so why should they be the ones who have to pay for the government's failure? They will be hit the hardest. The government now thinks that it can get away with whatever it can and the people don't count. I have a car and I have bought petrol a couple of times in the last two weeks and the money I have spent has only got me half my usual amount. In my house I run a power generator, the kind that you will find in most Nigerian homes. The government argument is that it is the middle classes who are buying petrol to fuel the four cars that they each have, but everybody uses petrol. The amount of money we spend on the petrol we buy for our generators to power our homes is a significant proportion of our disposable income. Interviews by Helen Dafedjaiye",

First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has pledged to explore all avenues to keep Scotland in the EU. Prime Minister Theresa May has said she will listen to SNP ideas. But she has described some of the early suggestions as \"impracticable\". Ms Sturgeon has also said a second independence referendum was \"highly likely\" - while Scottish Secretary David Mundell described the idea of Scotland remaining in both the UK and the EU as \"fanciful\". The IPPR was formed in the late 1980s by left-leaning academics and was highly influential on government policy during Tony Blair's premiership. 'Significant reform' Its director Russell Gunson said the Scottish government lacked \"a genuine commitment to the UK\" so it was up to unionists to present options for Scotland's EU future if they want to protect the UK. Writing in the Scotland on Sunday newspaper, he said: \"It is those across the UK who do not wish to see Scottish independence, or those open to exploring all the options, who will need to come forward with other options.\" These options \"need to be explored with equal vigour and rigour by both the UK and Scottish governments\", he said. \"The latter is certainly giving the impression of being up for exploring all the options, but without a genuine commitment in the rest of the UK, and without significant reform to Britain as a whole, a tailored approach to Brexit will not be deliverable. \"And with that, Scotland's options would be narrowed significantly.\" He added: \"One of the only things we can be sure of at this stage is that the UK - including Scotland or not - will need to change fundamentally, or it will be forced to, in order to meet the multiple mandates delivered by the EU referendum result.\" SNP Westminster leader Angus Robertson said on Friday that Scotland was \"on the brink of independence.\" He followed that up on Sunday by outlining a series of issues in which \"Scotland has been ignored, outvoted or overruled\" since the general election. Mr Robertson cited the election of the Conservatives, the austerity budget, Brexit, Trident, bombing in Syria, refugees, the Trade Union Bill, scrapping the Human Rights Act, blocked reforms of the House of Lords and votes for 16-year-olds. He said: \"If the UK government and Westminster parties continue to act against Scotland's wishes as they are - they shouldn't be surprised when the Scottish people conclude independence is the only viable option.\" However, oil tycoon and former Scottish government jobs commissioner Sir Ian Wood has warned Scotland \"would have very little influence in Europe\" as a small independent member of the EU. 'Too divisive' He said EU accession was \"a long process and one that would be damaging, with a lot of uncertainty for the oil and gas industry\". He told the Sunday Times Scotland: \"I was in favour of remaining in Europe. I have this idea we are becoming too divisive in the world. \"Everyone wants to be independent, but I think bigger economic units are more successful. We actually have to be better at living and working together.\" Shadow finance secretary Murdo Fraser said: \"Sir Ian Wood is speaking for many, many families and firms across Scotland who know that our future is more secure as part of the UK family of nations. \"The SNP's position is to argue that because we are leaving the EU, we should also leave the UK - even though the UK market is four times more important. \"The Nationalists now need to put their blinkered obsession with independence to one side and focus on ensuring the UK as a whole gets the right deal as we leave the EU.\"",

            "input": "By Geeta PandeyBBC News, Delhi In one particularly shocking case, police in the capital, Delhi, have arrested a man in his 30s for the rape and assault of an 86-year-old grandmother. \"The woman was waiting outside her home on Monday evening for the milkman when she was approached by her attacker,\" Swati Maliwal, head of the Delhi Commission for Women, told the BBC. \"He told her that her regular milk delivery man wasn't coming and offered to take her to the place where she could get milk.\" The octogenarian trustingly accompanied him, said Ms Maliwal, adding that he took her to a nearby farm where he raped her. \"She kept crying and begging him to leave her. She told him that she was like his grandmother. But he ignored her pleas and assaulted her mercilessly when she tried to resist and protect herself,\" Ms Maliwal said. Local villagers who were passing by heard her cries and rescued her. They handed over the attacker to the police. Ms Maliwal, who visited the survivor at her home on Tuesday, described her meeting as \"heart-breaking\". \"Her hands are totally wrinkled. You get a shock when you hear what she went through. There are bruises on her face and all over her body. She is suffering from extreme trauma.\" Ms Maliwal has demanded the death penalty for the attacker, whom she described as \"not human\". \"I'm writing to the chief justice of Delhi High Court and the lieutenant-governor of the city to fast-track the case and hang him in six months,\" she said. Rapes and sexual violence have been in the spotlight in India since December 2012 when a 23-year-old physiotherapy student was gang-raped on a moving bus in Delhi. She died a few days later from injuries sustained during the assault. Four of the accused were hanged in March. But despite the increased scrutiny of sexual crimes, their numbers continue to rise. According to the National Crime Records Bureau, police recorded 33,977 cases of rape in India in 2018 - that works out to a rape every 15 minutes. But campaigners say the actual numbers are much higher as many cases are not even reported. And not all make news - only the most brutal or shocking get reported in the press. In the last few days, while India has been struggling to cope with the coronavirus pandemic, there have been reports of an ambulance driver who allegedly raped a Covid-19 patient while ferrying her to hospital. Last month, a 13-year-old girl was found raped and murdered in a sugarcane field and her father alleged that her eyes were gouged out and her tongue had been cut. And in July, a six-year-old girl was abducted and raped and her attacker inflicted severe injuries to her eyes apparently so she couldn't identify him. As women's activist Yogita Bhayana points out, no age group is safe. \"I have met a month-old girl and women in their 60s who've been raped,\" Ms Bhayana, who works for People Against Rapes in India (Pari), an NGO working with survivors, says. After the global outcry over the brutality of the December 2012 Delhi bus rape, India introduced tough new rape laws, including the death penalty in especially horrific cases, and promised to set up fast-track courts to try rape cases. But, campaigners say, things have not changed much on the ground. \"The situation hasn't changed because protecting women and girls should top the list of government priorities, but it does not even figure there,\" Ms Bhayana says. \"India talks about external security, but I ask them what about internal security? What are you doing to ensure the safety of women and girls?\" Ms Bhayana says over the years, she has written more than 100 letters to Prime Minister Narendra Modi seeking justice for rape victims, but hasn't received a single response. \"Why doesn't he talk about it?\" she asks. While in opposition, Mr Modi had described Delhi as \"the rape capital\" in several election rallies. And after taking over as the prime minister in 2014, he appeared to make it a priority - in his first independence day speech that year, he talked about rape and offered parents some advice on how to bring up better sons. \"When we hear about these rapes our heads hang in shame,\" he said. \"In every home, parents ask daughters lots of questions as to where she is going, when will she return, and ask her to inform them when she reaches her destination. \"But have you ever asked your son where he is going, why is he going and who are his friends? After all, the person committing the rape is also someone's son,\" he said, advising parents to keep tabs on their sons. In India's largely feudal and patriarchal society, this was seen as ground-breaking. But since then the growing cases of sexual violence, many of them involving influential people, have made news - and Mr Modi has mostly kept silent, except for one tweet in 2018 that \"India's daughters will get justice\" after rape allegations involving members of his own party became headline news. Ms Bhayana says there is \"no magic wand, no one thing\" that can make this problem of gender violence disappear overnight. She says a lot needs to change - police and judicial reform, greater sensitisation of police and lawyers, and better forensic tools. \"But above all, we need gender awareness, we need to work to change the mindsets, to prevent such crimes from happening in the first place.\" And that is a tough ask, she adds. \"There is no sign that any government, be it the Delhi government or the federal government, is serious about tackling gender violence. \"I've been working in the field for eight years. I've never met anyone who's really serious about the issue.\" Ms Bhayana says there are hoardings in public places about all sorts of issues, about various achievements of government, about Covid-19, or cautioning people against drug use. \"But have you ever seen a hoarding in any city about rape or gender violence?\" she asks. \"We often see hoardings with Mr Modi's pet slogan, \"Beti bachao, beti padhao [Educate daughters, save daughters]. I say why don't we change it to Beta padhao, beti bachao [Educate your sons, save daughters]?\"",

A new target of £20,000 has now been set. More than 300 workers at the plant in Livingston were made redundant without being paid wages. They will have to claim their wages through the Insolvency Service. The appeal was set up by Mhairi Duff, who works in a community centre in Livingston. She wrote: \"Employees of Kaiam have been left with no wages over the Christmas period. \"The community have come together amazingly to help ease Christmas a little but these employees still have bills to pay and families to feed. \"Every penny is hugely appreciated. Thank you.\" Local people and businesses have also made thousands of pounds worth of donations to help Kaiam employees The community response was led by Emma Black, whose step-father is employed by Kaiam. Many people donated toys or vouchers and any left over after the Christmas holiday will be distributed to local charities. Administrators KPMG told the staff the redundancies were due to declining work levels, high operational costs and lack of customer orders at the factory, which manufactures optical receivers. In a statement, it said it recognised redundancies at this time of year are particularly difficult and its main focus is ensuring support is available to those laid off. Of the 310 staff, 28 have been retained to help the administrators explore a sale of the business. Inquiry call Meanwhile, Scottish Labour has called for an inquiry into government grants given to companies such as Kaiam Europe and Kaiam UK. Kaiam announced in 2014 it had been given an £850,000 Scottish Enterprise grant to expand the Livingston site by moving production facilities there from China. Labour's Neil Findlay wants an enquiry to examine how government grants, loans and other financial support are handed out, what conditions apply and whether or not this is a good use of public money. He also wants the inquiry to discover how such money is recouped if the business awarded support fails, or the company does not fulfil its obligations relating to the initial award of the grant. Scottish Business Minister Jamie Hepburn said he was \"very concerned\" about Kaiam going into administration. He said Scottish Enterprise had been working closely with the firm but \"unfortunately, a solution could not be found to turn the company's situation around\". He added: \"Scottish Enterprise will work with the administrators to understand the potential options for the business going forward and explore all possibilities to rescue the jobs.\" He said the Scottish government's Partnership Action for Continuing Employment programme was ready to help the workforce with skills development and employability support.",

Built at the junction of Fore Street and Grimwade Street, it stands opposite the main building at the University of Suffolk, which contributed £2m. The project originally attracted criticism from Lowestoft and Bury St Edmunds who held their own archives. The county council, responsible for the Suffolk Record Office, convinced them the new building would \"enable existing and new audiences to explore 900 years of archival material\". An agreement was reached that local studies units would still be kept at Lowestoft and Bury. Paul West, councillor with responsibility for heritage, said the handover of the keys was a milestone in a very long project. \"We can get on with fitting out and that's a two to three month project. Then we'll have a sort of phased opening over the autumn. We hope to have an exhibition in November.\" The archives were being boxed up by a team of volunteers, but they had to stop when the coronavirus lockdown began, but that is soon to resume. Mr West was also looking forward to the archive becoming a real attraction for local people to explore the county's history. There are plans to take exhibitions out to local schools and community groups.

Sir Michael told a conference that previous reports had painted a \"bleak picture of underperformance\". He called on educational leaders to help \"change the learning landscape\". Sir Michael told the annual conference of the National College for School Leadership in Birmingham that he recognised there had been big improvements in areas such as London, and among some ethnic minority groups, in recent years. But he said the gap in educational achievement between rich and poor was \"still far too wide\". Sir Michael referred to two reports produced by Ofsted 10 and 20 years ago, entitled Access and Achievement in Urban Education. He said the first described the lack of educational success and paucity of good-quality provision in deprived communities, and 10 years later the second showed little improvement. Sir Michael added: \"I am asking the education leaders of this country to take ownership of the situation and show the leadership needed to change the learning landscape. \"Everyone who agrees that all children deserve a good education needs to work in partnership to introduce the radical solutions needed today to make a real difference for the children of tomorrow.\" Key issues Ofsted said the review panel of the new report would include leading head teachers and academic experts. They will focus on five key issues, among them how parents and educators can ensure the best possible start for pupils; why some children and young people are more affected by socio-economic and educational disadvantage than others; and how to learn from the most effective schools. The report will be published in May 2013. Brian Lightman, General Secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders, welcomed the pledge to involve teaching practitioners in the inquiry. \"Teachers and school leaders are already leading the efforts to change the learning landscape, and we have asked the government time and again to involve them in finding solutions at a national level, rather than treating them as part of the problem,\" he said. Russell Hobby, General Secretary of the National Association of Head Teachers, said: \"The NAHT believes that every child should have a good education and welcomes recognition of the heroic efforts of some schools in our most deprived communities to ensure this.\" Christine Blower, general secretary of the National Union of Teachers, said that the review must look at \"life outside as well as inside the classroom\" as recent poverty statistics showed that \"life opportunities of children from disadvantaged backgrounds are being severely closed down\". She added: \"To counteract such disadvantage, schools need to have the funding and resources to ensure that all their pupils succeed.\" The charity Teach First, which recruits high-flying graduates to teaching in disadvantaged areas, said a system-wide transformation was needed to allow young people from the poorest communities to \"achieve on a par with their wealthier peers\".",

In 2013 a study by the Health and Safety Executive (which oversees the erection of tower cranes) revealed that 60% of them went up in London, despite the city only having 1 in 8 of the population. The figures showed that the capital was the economic powerhouse of the UK. And that construction mattered. Today's construction figures are far from gloomy. They suggest that over the next year we could be seeing far more cranes as business confidence returns after the concerns of the referendum result. IHS Markit, which publishes the data, said there was evidence of \"a renewed rise in staffing levels across the construction sector and a rebound in business expectations for the next 12 months\". Pendulum sentiment Yesterday's manufacturing figures were also far more positive than many expected. What we are seeing at the moment is classic pendulum sentiment. As the referendum approached, companies delayed investment and sat in \"wait and see mode\". Gloom was the order of the day. Figures such as the Purchasing Managers' Indices - which the manufacturing and construction figures are - were badly affected. July's construction PMIs were the worst for seven years. Now, there is a different mood. The sky has not fallen in and the UK finds itself in something of a goldilocks scenario. Weaker pound The country is still a member of the European Union single market - with all the economic advantages that confers. And will be probably well into 2019 at least. At the same time, as far as many exporting businesses are concerned, the country has received an economic boost with a relatively rapid devaluation in sterling. Trading in a single market with a weak currency certainly has plenty of economic upside. Of course, consumers may not see it in quite the same way as businesses. If you are travelling abroad, a weaker pound is not good news. And the import prices of food, energy and manufactured goods will be higher. As Sir Rupert Pennant-Rea, the former deputy governor of the Bank of England, put it, \"indirectly all Britons go abroad every day\" when they buy imported groceries and fill up their cars with imported fuel. There are likely to be inflationary consequences, and the construction PMIs today do note \"a further steep acceleration in input cost inflation\". Interest rates The Bank of England will be watching these inflation effects closely. With last month's cut in interest rates, the Monetary Policy Committee of the Bank indicated that it was more concerned about a fall in economic growth than it was about inflationary pressures. That calculation may change if the PMIs we have seen over the last 24 hours are not just a reaction to the previous month's poor figures, but actually signal a return of business confidence and activity. If inflation starts rising at the same time, then the further interest rate cut to 0.1% Mark Carney signalled last month may not materialise. On Monday, the services PMI will be scrutinized carefully. That sector includes retail and banking and makes up by far the largest part of the UK economy. Yes, cranes are important. But what consumers spend in the shops is far more significant.",

But on Monday, not withstanding a metaphor about tooting bugles which he seemed to have smuggled in, the prime minister heaped caveat after caveat on the news about the potential of the Pfizer vaccine. He and the Deputy Chief Medical Officer, Jonathan Van-Tam, seemed for once to have swapped roles. The politician was urging caution, the medic extolling the possibilities. The explanation, of course, is that England is only one week into the second version of lockdown. The government is already concerned about compliance, and wants therefore to give no impression to the public that with one bound, they will again be free. The vaccine will not be ready to make a difference to the second peak that we are living through right now. Boris Johnson has perhaps (let's see) learnt from his earlier claims that the country would \"squash the sombrero\", or \"turn the tide\" on its deadly foe. Infections are high in lots of parts of the UK. Lives are at stake - right now. Yet the advance of this potential vaccine has already changed the politics of this terrible situation. There are huge hurdles ahead and it is right to emphasise those. But what was a possibility seems suddenly to have become real. Eight long months since the prime minister warned of a significant outbreak in the UK, it's a profound reminder that for all of the awful loss of life, all of the hardship that many people have experienced, the strangeness, the frustration of this Covid universe, there will be an end.",

It was built by the Iceni tribe, best known for their leader Boudicca who rebelled against the Romans in AD61. Archaeologist Prof Will Bowden said its size, 20m by 20m (65ft by 65ft), showed \"how important this cult was to the Iceni\". The community archaeology group Caistor Roman Project spent three weeks at the temple site in 2019, working in partnership with the University of Nottingham. Prof Bowden, the project director, said the post-excavation process had since been completed and this \"confirmed that we were looking at a building that was exceptional\". He said it was \"one of the largest of its type in Roman Britain\" which \"indicates not only the importance with which the site was regarded but also that the Iceni had the resources to construct major public buildings should they choose to\". It has remained unknown which gods were worshipped there. Evidence of the worship of Roman gods has been found but the Iceni could have also dedicated the temple to a local deity, as happened at Bath. Caistor was the site of Venta Icenorum, the smallest Roman regional capital in Britain. Its forum - the main public building - was less than a quarter of the size of Verulamium, now known as St Albans. Historians saw its small scale as a sign of the Iceni's impoverishment after Queen Boudicca led the Iceni tribe against the Romans. Find BBC News: East of England on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.

Anton Vickerman, from Gateshead, had designed the service's pages, hiring others to source material and carry out other back-end functions. The 38-year-old was found guilty of conspiracy to defraud in June for \"facilitating\" copyright infringement. The maximum sentence that could have been given at Newcastle Crown Court would have been 10 years. Surfthechannel.com had acted as an index of professionally made online videos - both legal and illegal - encouraging its users to send in new links and check that they worked. However, it did not host the video files itself, but instead pointed visitors to other sites including Megavideo and China's Tudou. The Federation Against Copyright Theft (Fact) said that at its height in 2009 the site attracted more than 400,000 visitors a day, generating more than £35,000 in advertising revenue a month. Private investigator Mr Vickerman ran the site through a limited company, called Scopelight, which sent earnings to a bank account in Latvia. He was arrested after Fact and the MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America) hired a private investigator who took photographs of Mr Vickerman's home and computer equipment in July 2008 after pretending to be interested in buying the property. Police raided the house a month later, arresting Mr Vickerman and his wife. Kelly Vickerman was found not guilty by the jury. Despite the arrests Surfthechannel continued to operate and only went offline in May, coinciding with the start of the trial. Fact welcomed the case's outcome. \"Mr Vickerman knew what he was doing from the outset, having been involved in the pirate community for some time,\" said the organisation's director general, Kieron Sharp. \"This was not a passive search engine. Surfthechannel was created specifically to make money from criminal activity and it became the biggest site of its kind on the internet within two years. \"The sentencing indicates the severity of the offences committed and the sophistication of his criminal enterprise and should send a very strong message to those running similar sites that they can be found, arrested and end up in prison.\" But others have expressed concern that Mr Vickerman was found guilty of conspiracy to defraud rather than being prosecuted for copyright infringement. The Techdirt blog has described the law as being \"vague\" and noted that the charge had previously been unsuccessfully levelled against the owners of Oink and tv-links.co.uk - sites which had also offered indexes of links to pirated material.",

This is the first of a series of regional walkouts affecting schools in England and Wales. The government said the strikes would damage the profession's reputation. In total, 2,765 schools across 22 authorities in the North West would be affected by the one-day walkout, the unions said. The action is likely to be followed by a national strike in the autumn. Education Secretary Michael Gove wrote to both unions in March to say he was willing to meet them to discuss their dispute, but also insisting that the \"direction of travel\" on both of their key issues was \"fixed.\" NASUWT general secretary Chris Keates said: \"The move to strike action is a manifestation of the anger and frustration of teachers at the failure of the government to seek to address the deep concerns of the profession.\" NUT general secretary Christine Blower said: \"The government is going down entirely the wrong path for education and teachers. They need to start listening.\" A Department for Education spokeswoman said: \"We are very disappointed that the NUT and NASUWT have decided to take strike action, which less than a quarter of teachers actually voted for. \"Industrial action will disrupt pupils' education, hugely inconvenience parents and damage the profession's reputation in the eyes of the public at a time when our reforms are driving up standards across the country.\" In the NUT's ballot in September 2012, 82.5% voted in favour of strike action with a turnout of 27% while some 82% of NASUWT members voted for industrial action, with a turnout of 40%.

The South Korean firm has pursued dozens of claims against its rival in courts across the globe, but has only succeeded in a minority of the cases. It coincides with news that Samsung's lawyers are being aided in a separate case by a former London-based judge. At the Court of Appeal last year Sir Robin Jacob and two other judges reviewed an earlier ruling which had ordered Apple to publish a notice in UK newspapers and on its website saying that Samsung had not infringed its design rights. The panel upheld the original judgement and then later supported Samsung's follow-up complaint that the way Apple phrased its notice was \"misleading\", instructing the firm to rewrite it. \"I hope that the lack of integrity involved in this incident is entirely atypical of Apple,\" Sir Robin wrote in his judgement. Sir Robin - who is also a law professor at University College London (UCL) - is now acting as a consultant to a law firm helping Samsung defend itself against a patent infringement complaint filed in the US by network equipment provider Ericsson. After news of this spread his clerk, John Call, issued a statement. \"Sir Robin had not discussed any role as an expert, or any related matter, with Samsung or any of its representatives either directly or indirectly before 9 January 2013, when he was approached through his clerk by Bristows in the normal way to enquire as to his availability to give an expert opinion,\" it said. \"Sir Robin accepted those instructions on 21 January 2013. \"Sir Robin's role is entirely unrelated to his judgment in the Court of Appeal given on 18 October 2012 in the case of Samsung Electronics (UK) Ltd and Apple Inc. The instruction does not relate to any UK litigation or advice of any kind. Sir Robin is being remunerated for providing his expert opinion at his usual rates.\" Legal setbacks The Japanese case dates back to 2011 when Samsung filed a claim that Apple had use one of its data transmission techniques without paying a licence fee. Apple had counterclaimed that Samsung had no right to the technology and therefore did not deserve a fee. Had Apple lost it could potentially have been banned from selling some of its older handsets in Japan. However, the Tokyo District Court sided with the Cupertino-headquartered firm. Samsung has filed more than two dozen claims that Apple has infringed its patents over recent years. But according to consultant Florian Mueller - who follows the sector - it has only been successful three times: twice in South Korea and once in the Netherlands. Its actions have, however, prompted investigations by South Korean, US and European regulators over allegations that it has been too aggressive in defending its rights. Apple won a major intellectual property case against Samsung in California last year where a jury awarded it $1.05bn (£650m) in damages. However, the American company has also had its share of legal failures including Tokyo District Court rejecting its claim that Samsung had infringed a patent detailing a way for smartphones to synch music with computers. 'Highly unusual' News that Samsung was being aided by Sir Robin was revealed on Mr Mueller's Foss Patents blog. He noted that documents released by the US's International Trade Commission stated that the UK-based professor was \"working on behalf\" of three Samsung divisions in a dispute involving its tablet computers, media player and televisions. Mr Mueller - who has himself served as a consultant to Oracle in a case against Android-maker Google - suggested that it \"just doesn't feel right\" bearing in mind that Sir Robin had dealt \"Samsung's number one rival a huge PR blow\" in November. There is no suggestion that anything illegal or in breach of any rules has occurred - a point Mr Mueller acknowledges. When contacted by the BBC, Samsung noted that it had not directly employed the professor. \"A highly reputed intellectual property expert and academic, Sir Robin has been contracted as an expert by a law firm that represents Samsung Electronics in its case against Ericsson,\" it said. UCL said Sir Robin was currently in Australia and could not be reached for comment. However, the law firm that hired him - Bristows - said there was nothing untoward about its move. \"I certainly don't think it's unusual,\" said Myles Jelf, a partner in the firm. \"I can't see that there's any connection in what Robin did or said in the case against Apple for designs that is at all relevant to him being asked for his opinion about patent law in a dispute against another party. \"There was nothing untoward about the approach - there was no approach when he was involved in the Apple dispute. He would have had no inkling or concept at the time that he was saying those things in relation to Apple that Samsung were remotely interested in talking to him.\" But another intellectual property lawyer suggested that the news might raise eyebrows in the profession. \"Robin Jacob is an internationally recognised intellectual property judge of high repute, and I am sure he would have considered the implications of his stepping back into the arena in this way, especially where it appears to be on behalf of someone to whom he recently handed a major victory across Europe to defeat Apple in the iPad wars,\" said Jonathan Radcliffe, a partner at Mayer Brown International. \"It is a bold step that will prompt a debate on what exactly judicial independence means and how long it lasts. \"This is a highly unusual move - retired English judges have hitherto confined themselves in retirement to sitting as a mediator/arbitrator and sometimes giving opinions on points of law.\"",

The Bulls denied discriminating against Mr Hall and Mr Preddy, who are from Bristol. Sixty-nine-year-old Mrs Bull and her 74-year-old husband said their decision was founded on a \"religiously-informed judgment of conscience\". Five Supreme Court justices ruled against them on Wednesday after analysing the case at a hearing in London in October. In 2011 a judge at Bristol County Court concluded that the Bulls had acted unlawfully and ordered them to pay a total of £3,600 damages. The following year the Court of Appeal dismissed an appeal by the Bulls following a hearing in London. The couple had asked the Supreme Court to overrule the Court of Appeal.

He said he wanted the union to state \"clearly and straightforwardly, that I am not at fault\". The acting president has called an \"emergency meeting\". Its previous leader, Brendan McGrath, apologised for his \"mistakes\" and quit over the row on Tuesday. In a statement, Mr Azamati said Mr McGrath's recognition that the union's disability practices would be reviewed was \"helpful\" but added he had not been consulted on any proposals. He added he wanted the union to state \"clearly and straightforwardly, that I am not at fault in any way for the way I was treated\". \"Then it should explain what it proposes to do and then to listen to what I have to say about its proposals,\" he said, adding those steps would make would Mr McGrath's resignation \"far more meaningful\".

She said the committee would discuss \"meetings with disability advisory services\" and look at a \"professional review of staff and training\" on Wednesday. Harry Hatwell, a member of the union who led impeachment proceedings against Mr McGrath, welcomed the resignation but said \"the culture of the union must be changed\". The student, who raised a point of order about Mr Azamati's removal during the debate to Conservative Nicky Morgan, said: \"That night in the chamber, I should not have been the only person who raised a point of information.\" Mr Hatwell said it was \"not enough to shirk responsibility and blame others\" and has called for the union to \"reach out and show that it can be worthy of its position in the world\". Mr Azamati was \"forcibly and violently prevented from re-entering the union to resume his seat\" before a debate in October, according to the university's Africa Society. Its president Nwamaka Ogbonna said \"conduct is completely unacceptable\" and has called for the union to make \"policies to ensure the union is safe for every student that goes in\". On Saturday, Mr Azamati was cleared of any wrongdoing. He said the way he was treated had made him feel \"unwelcome in the union, Oxford and even the country\".

It is one of the most prestigious debating societies in the world and its chamber intentionally resembles the House of Commons.

Mr Maher and Mr Adel were founding members of the 6 April Youth Movement, which led many of the mass protests, while Mr Douma was a prominent blogger. Crackdown The three were arrested after protesting outside parliament on 30 November 2013 against the passing of a law requiring authorisation for public gatherings of more than 10 people. The next month they were convicted of participating in an unauthorised protest and assaulting police, and sentenced to three years in jail. They were also fined 50,000 Egyptian pounds (£4,400; $6,700). Correspondents say the Court of Cassation's ruling is likely to ignite further criticism of the anti-protest law and alleged police brutality in its implementation. It comes two days after at least 20 people died in clashes with police at protests marking the anniversary of the start of the 2011 uprising. The restrictions on protests were instituted by the interim government that took power after the military overthrew Mr Mubarak's successor, Mohammed Morsi, in July 2013 after mass protests against his rule.

Mr Ridd, from Baglan near Neath, died from respiratory problems after surgery for a bowel problem. But his brother and sister, who were his main carers, said the standard of care he received deteriorated the moment he was moved onto a general ward. 'No leadership' Mr Ridd said: \"When Paul was in the intensive care unit, he had top quality care, like a five star hotel, and when he was moved across the corridor, it felt like we were in a Third World country in terms of care, cleanliness. \"There was no leadership and his observations were not done as instructed. \"In the last four hours of his life, we weren't with him unfortunately, and Paul's carer was constantly begging the nursing and medical staff to examine him as his condition had steadily deteriorated. \"They never actually examined him, and the excuse that they gave was that he was agitated, when he was actually dying.\" Mr Ridd said the pair would always find it difficult to think about the way their brother died. \"It was a catalogue of errors from the time he was released from intensive care. \"We could see the depth of suffering Paul was experiencing, however, the medical and nursing staff didn't pick up on it.\" His sister Jane Nicholls said that because Mr Ridd could not communicate, those around him had to be alert for signs of his distress. She said: \"I find it really difficult because I don't know quite how Paul felt and he died from excess secretions in his upper airways, which is like drowning, and he was unable to communicate to us. \"The last 58 hours of his life were horrendous and that has left me with a terrible memory.\" But she added that the family was grateful the ombudsman took up their complaint. Correct treatment Mr Ridd added: \"We wanted the ombudsman's report in order to make changes for vulnerable people going into hospital that can't communicate for themselves, and their families and carers need to communicate for them. \"It is so important that is recognised within the health authorities and picked up on, so patients can have the correct treatment and this doesn't happen again.\" Both recalled their brother as a \"special individual\". Mrs Nicholls said: \"He was very sociable. Unfortunately he had severe learning difficulties which meant he had the mentality of an 18-month-old child but he enjoyed the simple things in life. \"He gave our family so much pleasure.\" Mr Ridd added: \"He had a character that blossomed and gave sunshine. \"Everybody that he met warmed to Paul, he brought happiness to us and people on the street.\" Managers at the hospital said procedures had been improved.

            "input": "By Daniel ThomasBusiness reporter But what if technology could make the whole business of air travel more efficient and even pleasurable? With this in mind, airport operators invested almost $7bn (£4.6bn) on IT services last year, experimenting with automated check-in, navigational apps and new ways of promoting retail opportunities, to name but a few innovations. And in future we can expect laser-powered security scanners, virtual shopping walls, biometric gates and holographic helpers enhancing our journey experiences and driving up profits for operators. Welcome to Aeroville! Airports may even become destinations in their own right - tech-heavy terminals that charm and amaze us. Take the Jewel expansion at Singapore's Changi Airport, for example. When it opens in 2018 its majestic steel and glass design will incorporate five storeys above ground and five below, a huge indoor park with native flora and walking trails, and the world's tallest indoor waterfall - the 40m \"Rain Vortex\" with its own night-time sound and light displays. And the recently renovated Tom Bradley International Terminal at Los Angeles Airport gives us another glimpse of the future. It features the largest immersive multimedia system of any airport in the Americas. Seven huge screens show Southern California scenes and quirky videos, the centrepiece being a 22.5m \"time tower\" whose striking images constantly change. These installations also react to passenger movement and real-time flight data. \"When we think of technology enhancing experiences, we often think of how it can speed things up, or make things more profitable or convenient,\" says Peter Firth of the Future Laboratory. \"But the best example of improving an airport that we have seen is less about efficiency and more about poetry.\" Don't wait, automate Tedious airport processes like check-in will increasingly be automated. London Heathrow and Amsterdam's Schiphol are already trialling self-service biometric passport gates that use facial recognition technology, for instance. And Japan's All Nippon Airways provides travellers with \"smart tablets\" enabling them to check in quickly, navigate the airport, and receive real-time messages about their flights. London's Gatwick Airport, meanwhile, is building the world's largest automated bag drop zone that will allow you to check in luggage as early as 12 hours before a flight, simply by dropping it onto a conveyor belt. Greg Fordham, managing director of consultancy Airbiz, believes technology will empower travellers. \"In five years' time… an entirely automated airport journey will see the passenger take complete control,\" he said in a recent report by travel search engine, Skyscanner. Multilingual, multi-skilled airport staff would only be on hand to help passengers in need of assistance, he believes. Facial recognition The trend is filtering through to security, too. Gatwick, for instance, uses facial recognition technology to make sure queue time in security is always below five minutes. \"We track your face at four points on the journey through security, to get real-time feedback on how long it is taking,\" explains Michael Ibbitson, the airport's chief information officer. \"Then we combine that data with expected traffic patterns and can proactively open and close security lanes by sending emails to the smartphones of our employees.\" Facial recognition technology could extend to discerning expressions or body movements that suggest somebody may be carrying contraband or likely to be a security risk, experts believe, although such technology could fall foul of privacy campaigners. The laborious X-ray process could be in for a makeover, too. US firm Genia Photonics has created a \"laser molecular scanner\" that penetrates clothing and other organic materials to expose traces of explosives or drugs. The tech, which some speculate will eventually be rolled out at airports, scans multiple people at once and works from a distance of 50m (164ft). 'Transtailing' therapy It would be nice to think all this technological innovation is for our benefit alone, but in truth it is closely linked to airport profits. \"Faster check-in also means more time to spend at the airport, which creates retail opportunities,\" says Emre Serpen of IT company Wipro. \"And at some airports non-aeronautical revenues are higher than aeronautical ones.\" Perhaps not surprisingly, operators are trialling a host of new technologies designed to make us spend. Copenhagen, Shanghai Hongqiao and Miami are experimenting with beacon transmitters that send Bluetooth signals to smartphones alerting passengers to discounts or special offers. And looking ahead we could see the spread of \"virtual shopping walls\", where shoppers scan QR codes on their smartphones to buy luxury goods or groceries. These are already present at Gatwick, New Delhi and Frankfurt, but in the future shopping walls could reach a whole new level, believes Skyscanner, with interactive software allowing passengers \"to order food or goods with a wave of [their] hand or by a simple verbal command\". Policing the skies Making airports more efficient and pleasurable is one thing, coping with the expected increase in air traffic is another. Passenger numbers are expected to reach 7.3 billion by 2034, more than double the 3.3 billion in 2014, the International Air Transport Association predicts. This is likely to mean our skies become more congested, leading to more flight delays and more damaging carbon dioxide emissions. But the advent of next-generation air traffic management systems could help relieve the pressure. For example, iTEC, a system developed by Spanish firm Indra, can predict where an aeroplane will be at any point on its journey based on a series of inputs such as radar, flight plan and weather. This means the air traffic controller can create a \"conflict free\" plan for each aircraft which requires fewer changes of altitude and thrust, making flights smoother, faster and less polluting. Indra says iTEC shaves 30-40 nautical miles off a flight from Frankfurt to North America crossing Scottish airspace, potentially equating to £122m in fuel savings annually. The system will eventually cover German, Spanish, Dutch and UK airspace. In the US, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is rolling out its own system, Next Gen, between 2012 and 2025, in an attempt to reduce the annual $31bn cost of delays.

His body was \"infested with insects\" after being kept in the attic for eight months, the Old Bailey heard. The murder weapons, a claw hammer and a knife, were found near his body, the trial was told. 'Serious decomposition' Ms Docherty and Mr Hopkins are jointly charged with murder, perverting the course of justice and preventing the lawful burial of a dead body. Ms Docherty has denied all the charges while Mr Hopkins has denied murder but admits the two other charges. Opening the case, Gareth Patterson QC told the Old Bailey that Mr Ali's body \"began to decompose through the spring and summer\", adding that when it was finally discovered inside the property in Enfield, the remains had \"suffered serious decomposition\". Mr Ali's body had been wrapped in a duvet cover and had plastic bags placed over his head, the court heard. The 5ft 2in teenager had been hit over the head with a hammer at least three times and stabbed repeatedly in a \"savage attack\", jurors heard. 'Killed for drugs' Afterwards, the defendants fled London for Leominster in Herefordshire where they \"lay low\" for a few days, the court was told. In his police interview, Mr Hopkins blamed others for Mr Ali's death, saying he had agreed to let the boy he knew as Skeng deal drugs from his flat, the court heard. Ms Docherty initially told police she was unaware of the body in the attic but later said Mr Hopkins had killed Mr Ali for drugs, the jury was told. Mr Patterson said: \"The prosecution case is that nobody else had anything to do with the murder of Abdi Ali other than these defendants.\" He also said Ms Docherty \"revealed that the motive had been financial, stating that she had wanted to give her children a good Christmas\".

On the EU, he said: \"We need to unite across the political divide and explain our common belief that Wales will prosper by staying within a reformed European Union. \"The UK government's leaflet which will shortly be distributed to every home in Wales sets out our case for this. We need to shelve party politics to ensure Welsh voters make an informed choice.\" Shelving party politics might be easier than uniting the Welsh Conservatives on the issue: Montgomeryshire MP Glyn Davies has announced that he will vote to leave the UK, the fifth of eight Welsh Tory backbench MPs to support \"Brexit\". Welsh Tory leader Andrew RT Davies is also in the \"leave\" camp. On devolution, Mr Cairns suggested: \"taking advantage of the opportunities offered in the forthcoming Wales Bill to deliver a real parliament for Wales, with greater powers and a government responsible for raising as well as spending money\". His predecessor, Stephen Crabb, pressed the pause button on that Bill two months ago amid little sign of cross-party consensus. Mr Cairns added: \"Welsh politics has been characterised too often by tribalism and opposition for opposition's sake at either end of the M4. It's time for a new spirit of pragmatism. \"As Wales advances to the next stage of devolution, my message to the new Welsh Government is that we put aside political differences and get on with the big job of delivering projects that will really benefit people's lives.

The news will come as little surprise to many, as the proposed venue had already been changed and various artists had dropped out. Woodstock 50 originally had Jay-Z, The Killers and Miley Cyrus on the bill. The main investor had first announced its cancellation back in April, but organisers \"vehemently denied\" the report and pressed on with preparations. Where did it all go wrong? Woodstock 50 was first announced in January, as a celebration of half a century since the original New York State event, which had featured the likes of Jimi Hendrix, The Who and Janis Joplin. Michael Lang, who was organising the event and co-produced the first Woodstock in 1969, said the revival festival planned to sell 100,000 passes for the 16-18 August event at Watkins Glen, New York State. Ticket prices were not unveiled. By March, rumours started circling about financial problems. Nevertheless, an impressive line-up, featuring some of the world's biggest artists, was released, and organisers said tickets would be on sale on 22 April. That date passed. A bombshell was dropped around a week later when the chief funder, Dentsu Aegis Network, said the festival had been cancelled, as it could not ensure the \"health and safety of the artists, partners and attendees\". The festival organisers rebutted this announcement and, after a court battle with Dentsu, they found new backers in May. The following month the festival lost its New York venue, but in July it was announced that it would be taking place in Maryland instead. Then Jay-Z, Miley Cyrus, Santana and others all dropped out in quick succession, as the festival looked increasingly unlikely to take place. Over the weekend, it was announced that tickets for the festival would be free, although the line-up was unclear. Why cancel now? In a statement on Wednesday, organisers finally admitted defeat. \"Woodstock 50 today announced that the three-day festival to celebrate its 50th anniversary has been cancelled,\" the organisers said. \"We are saddened that a series of unforeseen setbacks has made it impossible to put on the festival we imagined with the great line-up we had booked and the social engagement we were anticipating,\" Mr Lang said. Other festivals that never were Fyre festival Perhaps the most notorious festival cancellation was the 2017 Fyre festival, which became the subject of two documentaries. Fyre was billed as a glamorous party on a deserted Caribbean island but when people arrived the site was still unfinished. VestiVille VestiVille was due to take place in Belgium this week, but British festival goers arrived to find out it was cancelled. Some drew analogies with the Fyre fiasco after the Lommel city mayor pulled the event over safety concerns. Livewire The UK Livewire Festival in Blackpool was due to take place at the end of August, with a headline show from US singer Lauryn Hill. The organisers - who had postponed the event in 2018 - pulled out again in mid-July, citing \"investor issues\".",

The sighting was a short time after the group had last seen him in the Veermaster Bar in Hamburg on Saturday 10 February.

CCTV footage seen by the family shows Liam arriving at the vehicle barrier of G&J building in Baumwall, Hamburg, at about 02:20. A witness reports seeing the 29-year-old and helping him up some steps to the main entrance of that building after he fell. This was corroborated by the CCTV. The footage goes on to show Liam trying unsuccessfully to get in to the building, before walking towards the Michelwiese Park. He is helped again by the same witness to get into this park, and is last seen heading towards the Portuguese quarter at about 02:30.

Chief executive Matt Searle said: \"There have been a few people coming forward thinking they have seen him but this is the first one that has been confirmed by the family as being Liam. \"It is only about an hour or so after he was last seen but the family sees this as positive. \"It gives them an idea of where he was going.\" 'Confused Scotsman' As the search for Liam Colgan entered its second week, his family urged the public to continue their support. Liam's brother Eamonn last night confirmed a body pulled from the River Elbe on Sunday was not his sibling. He said his family had been encouraged by sightings of a \"confused Scotsman\" wandering the city of Hamburg and asked for help to \"bring Liam home\". Eamonn Colgan, 33, from Broughty Ferry, said: \"I would like to make it clear the police have stated to me that the male that was recovered from the Elbe does not match the description of Liam. \"I'm obviously incredibly relieved that this was not Liam, however pass on my condolences to the family involved in what must be a horrible time for them. \"My brother is still out there and we are still receiving sightings. We need to find Liam and bring him home to his family and friends.\" He has asked that Scots with connections in Hamburg and the surrounding areas continue to share the appeal.

I feel humbled and eternally grateful for everyone's assistance in helping bring Liam home.\" The Lucie Blackman Trust is currently sifting through photographs, CCTV and other intelligence. Matt Searle explained: \"We have had an unprecedented amount of photos sent to us, ones people have taken with who they think is Liam in the background. \"None of these has been him so far, but it only takes one to be able to find him so we urge people to keep supporting the search. \"It's been great that Liam's case has seen so much exposure, both in mainstream and social media. \"But what we tend to see is that after the initial headlines and flurry of interest, these cases can lose momentum. \"It's vital to keep sharing the appeal, most importantly to friends and contacts in Germany.\"",

Campaign group the3million, which represents EU citizens in the UK, said this was \"no way to treat people\". The Home Office said 1.8 million people had applied to the scheme and others have until \"at least\" December 2020. It said those with \"reasonable grounds\" for missing the date would be granted an extension to apply for the right to live and work in the UK. Currently, EU nationals - and their families - living in the UK by 31 October have until the end of 2020 to apply to the EU Settlement Scheme in the event of a no-deal Brexit, or the end of June 2021 if there is a deal. The Home Office says it does not have a figure for the number of EU citizens currently living in the UK, but estimates by the Migration Observatory put it at 3.3 million, excluding Irish citizens who have the right to settled status already. 'Hostile environment' Mr Lewis told Die Welt (in German): \"If EU citizens until this point of time have not registered and have no adequate reason for it, then the valid immigration rules will be applied.\" When pressed on whether that would include those who met the legal requirements for residence but did not apply in the next 14 months, he replied: \"Theoretically yes. We will apply the rules.\" Maike Bohn, spokeswoman for the3million, said the organisation had pressed the government \"for years\" to acknowledge what would happen to those who have not acquired the status in 2021. \"Today, after much wait, it is confirmed that hundreds and thousands of people will be punished with the threat of removal from their home. This is no way to treat people, let alone what was promised,\" she said. \"Those people who miss the tight deadline will face the full force of the hostile environment.\" 'Windrush-style scandal' She said this was the \"grim reality\" of the government's position, \"no matter how many times they repeat the phrase 'EU citizens and their families are our friends, neighbours and colleagues and we want them to stay'\". Those applying for settled status must prove their identity, show they live in the UK and declare any criminal convictions. Once granted settled status, they can use the NHS, study and access public funds and benefits, as well as travel in and out of the country. The total number of settlement applications finalised by the end of September was 1.5 million, according to figures released this week by the Home Office. Of these, 61% were granted settled status and 38% were given pre-settled status, which can be applied to be updated once someone has lived in the country continuously for five years. The conclusion in 0.5% of cases was classed as having \"other outcomes\". Lib Deb home affairs spokeswoman Christine Jardine said she was \"absolutely appalled\" by Brandon Lewis's deportation threat and she predicted \"thousands\" of people would be left undocumented by the \"arbitrary\" deadline. She warned it could create another Windrush-style scandal - when individuals who arrived from Commonwealth countries between 1948 and 1971 were wrongly told they were in the UK illegally, despite living in the country for decades. \"Brandon Lewis has finally confirmed what we've known all along: Boris Johnson has no intention of keeping his promise to automatically guarantee the rights of EU citizens living in the UK,\" said Ms Jardine. \"That is totally unacceptable.\" Mr Lewis tweeted in response to his critics: A statement from the Home Office said: \"We have received two million applications and are looking for reasons to grant status, not refuse, and EU citizens have until at least December 2020 to apply. \"We've always been clear that where they have reasonable grounds for missing the deadline, they'll be given a further opportunity to apply.\"",

But research suggests antibiotics are prescribed in 60% of sore throat cases. NICE said it was \"vital\" the medicines were only used when effective because of the rise of antibiotic resistance. The overuse of antibiotics is making infections harder to treat by creating drug-resistant superbugs. 'Precious resource' Acute sore throat, including pharyngitis and tonsillitis, can be caused by a bacterial or viral infection, with symptoms usually improving by themselves within a week. New guidelines from NICE and Public Health England, which aim to limit the use of antibiotics, said doctors should only be prescribing the medicines for more severe cases that are likely to have been caused by a bacterial infection. Most people should instead use pain relief drugs, which also include aspirin and ibuprofen, and certain throat lozenges, as well as drinking plenty of water and resting. Prof Cliodna McNulty, head of PHE's primary care unit, said: \"Antibiotics are a precious resource and it's important that they are only used when they are really needed. \"For a sore throat, evidence shows that antibiotics make little difference to length or severity of illness, unless symptoms are much more severe. While a sore throat can be painful, there are other ways to control the symptoms including taking paracetamol and medicated lozenges.\" NICE and PHE also said doctors should use set criteria to judge how likely it is that people have sore throats caused by bacterial infections. This works by checking people for scores across a range of symptoms, which include fever, pus on tonsils, severely inflamed tonsils and the absence of a cough. 'Post-antibiotic apocalypse' England's chief medical officer, Dame Prof Sally Davies, has previously warned of a \"post-antibiotic apocalypse\" where infections would become harder to treat and common medical procedures such as cancer treatments could become too risky. In some cases people have died from bugs that are resistant to all antibiotics. In October, PHE said patients had \"a part to play\" in stopping the rise of infections and that more of them should be told to go home and rest rather than be given antibiotics. Prof Gillian Leng, deputy chief executive at NICE, said people who needed antibiotics should be given them. \"But it is clear that routine prescribing in all cases isn't appropriate,\" she said. \"We are living in a world where bacteria are becoming resistant to antibiotics. It is vital these medicines are protected, and only used when they are effective.\" The Royal College of General Practitioners, which supports the new guidelines, said patients needed to understand that antibiotics are \"not a cure for every ill\".",

It was a devastating attack - the worst carried out against Indian forces in decades. It shocked the country, as newspapers and TV screens were filled with stories of soldiers and their shattered families. Some had just returned from a visit home; others had called a family member hours before the attack; a few were speaking to them on the phone when the explosives went off. Adil Ahmad Dar was identified hours later, when the Pakistan-based militant group, Jaish-e-Mohammad, released a video online saying it had carried out the attack. In the video, Dar appears to show no remorse for what he is going to do. He said he joined the group in 2018 and was eventually \"assigned\" the task of carrying out the attack in Pulwama. He said that by the time the video was released he would be in jannat (heaven). As tensions between nuclear-armed India and Pakistan rose in the aftermath of the attack and Kashmir remained on edge, more details about Dar emerged. His story was disturbingly familiar. He grew up in Indian-administered Kashmir in Pulwama district where the attack occurred. Pulwama is part of the Anantnag constituency - the only seat in the Indian election that is voting over three different phases for security reasons, the last being on 6 May. Dar was a high school dropout and had been doing odd jobs as a mason when his parents reported him missing in March last year. He was 22, and, by all accounts, shy and quiet. His family say his anger against the Indian state grew after he was injured while participating in a protest against the killing of a popular militant in 2016. Dar was one of thousands of Kashmiris who were born, and later died, in the shadow of the gun. There has been an armed rebellion against Indian rule in Muslim-majority Kashmir since 1989. India blames Pakistan for fomenting violence in the region by supporting militancy - a charge Pakistan denies. Since 1989, Kashmir has been convulsed by regular episodes of violence that have killed more than 70,000 people, including many Kashmiri Hindus targeted by militants in the early 1990s. Critics say India's heavy-handed tactics have alienated local youths. A UN report on violence in the region between June 2016 and April 2018 pointed to excessive force used by Indian security personnel, including the firing of pellet guns that have blinded hundreds. India rejected the report and its findings. \"Kashmiris who were born after the 1990s have never seen peace,\" says Abdul Ahad Bhat, 68, a resident of Pulwama. \"They were born amid curfews and died before they ended.\" Mr Bhat says the Kashmir he remembers from before 1989 is a \"dream\" this generation has been denied. Militancy in the valley had declined by the 2000s but grew again after the killing of young militant leader, Burhan Wani, in 2016. And it has been on the rise since - 2016 saw the deaths of 150 suspected militants and more than 230 died in 2018, according to official figures. Wani was extremely active on social media. India considered him a terrorist but for many locals he represented a new Kashmiri generation. When he was killed in a gun battle with Indian security forces, protests engulfed the valley. Dozens were killed and hundreds injured as security forces fired live rounds and tear gas at protesters. Many were also blinded by pellets. Adil Ahmad Dar, who took part in the protests, was shot in the leg and bedridden for 11 months. \"That day changed him,\" says his father, Ghulam Hassan Dar, 62. \"A shy boy transformed into a volcano of anger but he rarely expressed it.\" He, like other locals, believes many of the boys and men who protested at Wani's killing joined the insurgency. Adil Ahmad Dar spent more time praying and reading on the internet while recovering than mingling with his friends. He ran away from home to join the militants in March 2018. The family found out about his involvement in the attack when his uncle, Abdul Rashid Dar, received a call from police. He says he was horrified to learn that his nephew - under the alias Waqas Commando - was behind the attack. Some in the family's village, Gundibagh, react similarly. One said Dar had hardly talked to anyone after his cousin, Manzoor, a suspected militant, was killed in June 2016. Read more on Kashmir by Sameer Yasir Others speak of his frustration with the political situation in Kashmir. \"He was saddened by militants 'dying like chickens', without putting up a fight or inflicting casualties on the other side,\" said Altaf, another relative, who arrived with hundreds of villagers to attend Dar's funeral the day after the attack. The support extended to the family is unsurprising given that many Kashmiris resent Indian security forces and accuse them of human rights violations. In the past few years, funerals of militants in south Kashmir have drawn large crowds. Jibran Ahmad, a Pulwama resident, says: \"You become a militant in a police station or an army camp, not inside the four corners of your house. \"Many of those arrested by police in 2016 joined the militancy. Perhaps they thought it was better than being humiliated every day.\" Some of the men joining the militants recently have been highly educated and come from financially stable families. A federal minister told India's parliament in December that at least 26 of these new militants in 2018 were graduates and he referred to them as \"misguided youth\". Sushant Sareen, a senior fellow at the Observer Research Foundation, an independent think tank, says part of the problem is that violence is \"glorified\". \"In most societies there is no social sanction given to people who indulge in violence. In Kashmir, however, there is social sanction - a certain amount of 'coolness',\" he says. He adds: \"When stone pelting is happening, should the government hunker down and do nothing? When people pick up arms, should they do nothing?\" No army ever wants to fire on unarmed civilians, he says. One policeman based in Kashmir who wished to remain anonymous says India's approach has not worked. He said he did not want to be identified because he feared being rebuked by his superiors for speaking publicly about such a sensitive issue. \"When you kill one militant, two more are ready to join. Political outreach is important but in recent years we have focused on killing militants,\" he says. Author and counter-terrorism expert Ajai Sahni says India's ruling Bharatiya Janata Party has demonised the valley and \"created an enemy for the entire country\" which may be a \"successful election strategy but is disastrous for national security\". In the days after Pulwama, sporadic incidents of harassment and violence were reported against Kashmiris in some north Indian cities. Tariq Hameed's son returned home after being beaten up by a mob in Dehradun. \"My fear is, what now? My son has started hating India and Indians. He was not like that earlier,\" he says. Ghulam Hassan Dar says he does not want any child to follow his son's path. \"I always knew him as my docile son,\" Mr Dar says. \"I wish I could explain how he turned into a human bomb.\"",

While his golfing partners attempted CPR, staff at his golf club were alerted and soon arrived with a defibrillator. Just in time, the machine saved his life. He is now supporting a move to register every defibrillator in Scotland and improve others' chances of surviving cardiac arrest. Mr Little, 80, told BBC Radio Scotland's Drivetime with John Beattie: \" I was on the golf course about to putt and win the hole. That was the last thing I remember. \"I took a couple of steps and down I went. That's the last I knew.\" 'Next hole was too far' Mr Little had suffered a cardiac arrest on the eighth hole of the green at Glasgow Golf Club. His golfing friend Jim Thow acted immediately, starting CPR. Another friend, Wullie Dunlop, rushed to the clubhouse to call an ambulance. The club manager returned with a defibrillator which had been bought for the club by a member after his son had died from a cardiac arrest. Mr Little said: \"They worked on me while they waited for the ambulance. \"I was told I had gone a bit blue. They used the defibrillator and that brought me back. \"It took 15 minutes for them to get me back. They said if I had been at the next hole I would have been dead. It was too far away. \"The defibrillator saved my life.\" A different story Mr Little was taken to hospital and had a stent inserted. He is now healthy and back on the fairway. Now, Labour MSP Anas Sarwar wants every defibrillator in Scotland to be registered so that the ambulance service can direct people to them quickly and potentially save lives. A public consultation has been launched on his members' bill and it is hoped it could improve Scotland's poor cardiac arrest survival rates. Every year in Scotland there are about 3,500 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests where resuscitation is attempted. Every minute without CPR or defibrillation leads to a 10% decrease in the patient's chances of surviving, meaning the use of Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) can dramatically improve survival rates. However, there is currently no legislation in Scotland governing the registration of AEDs, with purchasers only asked to register them with the Scottish Ambulance Service on a voluntary basis. As a result, out-of-hospital cardiac arrests often take place near a public AED which is unknown to 999 call-handlers. The bill would place a duty on the purchaser or guardian of all existing and newly-purchased AEDs in Scotland to register it. 'About saving lives' Mr Sarwar believes there are hundreds of defibrillators which are not registered. He said: \"This bill is about saving lives. We know that if you have an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, you only have a one in 10 chance of survival. \"But if a bystander can get a defibrillator to you quickly, then your chance of survival can increase to between 50 and 70%. \"We know that already there are defibrillators all across Scotland but at the moment the ambulance service doesn't know where they are.\" He added: \"It means we can also see where the gaps are and have defibrillators installed in those areas to increase people's chances.\" The move is supported by defibrillator campaigners Kathleen Orr and Sandra McKandie. Ms Orr's son Jayden died after collapsing during an ice skating lesson. A leisure centre defibrillator was available but was locked away. Sandra McKandie's son died after being hit by a car on his bike. She has campaigned for police rapid response vehicles to carry defibrillators as they are often the first on the scene of a crash. Ms McKandie said: \"The registration is vital to making these pieces of equipment useful in situation such as Keiran and Jayden's. We need to break down the myths of people frightened to use them. If you are frightened to use them, the patient will remain in the same situation, but if you do, it will give them the best chance of survival. A spokesman for the Scottish government said: \"We recognise the importance of Public Access Defibrillators (PADs), and our Out of Hospital Cardiac Arrest (OHCA) strategy ensures PADs are mapped, maintained and accessible to the public. The registration of PADS is a commitment in Scotland's OHCA for Scotland (2015). \"The British Heart Foundation and Scottish Ambulance Service have developed The Circuit National Defibrillator Network, which is now available in Scotland. The Circuit aims to integrate with ambulance dispatch and map the location of PADs across the UK. We encourage all custodians of defibrillators to register on The Circuit.\" The consultation ends on 25 May. The online survey is available here. What is a defibrillator and when should it be used?",

            "input": "By Steven BrocklehurstBBC Scotland news website Morrison is a hugely successful author who has written four much-lauded novels as well as other critically acclaimed works such as last year's Tales From a Mall, but he says he finds it very hard to believe that people like or appreciate him. He says: \"I find it so hard to accept that in the last few years I have given up alcohol and put myself in therapy because I have to grapple with my belonging in the normal world. I find it upsetting that I'm here and I'm doing well.\" 'Incapacitating stutter' Now 46, Morrison puts his inability to fit in down to his childhood in Caithness, where his hippy parents struggled to live the Utopian cultural life they had fled to the far north to build. His father David was the local librarian and ran the Wick festival of poetry, folk and jazz which attracted cultural giants such as Norman MacCaig and Iain Crichton Smith but often failed to find audiences to match. \"My father hit the bottle when he realised the festival would not work. It was this big 60s dream, one that ruined our family economics,\" Morrison says. \"Watching your parents fail is pretty crushing.\" In his 30s, he says, he had to deal with \"severe anger and rage\" against his \"irresponsible\" parents who tried to live outside the real world but abandoned their son to deal with the bullies from the tough working-class town who made his life a misery. Morrison told BBC Scotland's Stark Talk: \"I had an incapacitating stutter where I could not say my own name from the age of about nine to 13. \"I was systematically bullied for about three or four years to the point where I gave in and just accepted it would be a daily phenomena.\" Morrison says he was kicked in the head, forced to eat dirt, stripped and on one occasion he remembers having to stand with his mouth open while the bullies attempted to spit into it from a distance. He says he used to long for the day when the nearby Dounreay nuclear power station would blow up and the entire community would be destroyed. The teenage Morrison found some kind of relief in making figures from modelling clay. \"On a bad day I would literally crush a Plasticine model and kill someone,\" he says. His self-confidence grew through his talent for art and he went on to Glasgow School of Art, which he says was \"a wonderful place for freaks\". He was a good artist but too impatient, always moving on to the next thing like a \"butterfly\". At first he was a portrait painter, then changed to photography and he graduated making art documentaries. One of his novels, Menage, sees his protagonists learning how to express their art. Morrison says: \"One of the pieces in the book was my actual graduation piece where I slapped about a good friend of mine. \"He's now a really successful artist living in Finland by the name of Charles Sanderson and he sat still for an hour while I slapped him and my friends kissed him and that became a portrait.\" Love triangle Menage, as the name suggests, features a love triangle, and it is not only Morrison novel in which explicit sex is a feature. It was his first book, a collection of short stories called The Last Book That You Read, which had him dubbed a \"Scottish purveyor erudite filth\" by Arena magazine. A couple of years later his first novel, Swung, told of the swinging scene in Glasgow, a lifestyle choice with multiple sex partners, into which Morrison delved after his marriage broke down. He says he \"cracked up\" in New York at the turn of the millennium when a film project he had been working on for two years collapsed. His \"dangerous, alcohol-fuelled behaviour\" resulted in him losing his wife, his two children and his home. \"I went nuts,\" says Morrison. \"I had so much resting on wanting to make this film in America to show that I could stand on my own two feet, put all my past behind me, almost start again in another world. \"When all that fell through I was stuck back in Scotland. I felt I was stuck in this place I had so desperately wanted to escape from.\" Back in Glasgow, he turned to writing and in order to get material for his books, he lived \"more extremely\" than he would have done other wise, examining the swinging scene by spending a \"year in perverse\". \"I think most people who are involved in swinging are troubled,\" he says. Happy-ending However, in its defence he says swinging \"demystifies\" the rituals around sex and crosses cultural and class boundaries. In 2006 when he met his future wife, Swung was still in draft form and he gave it to her to read. He says his now-wife, who was a lesbian for 10 years, was not really afraid of the content. \"If anything I think she might have thought it was too bourgeois and heterosexual, \" he says. Morrison's 2008 novel Distance tells of two people clinging on to a long-distance relationship. The male character Tom is unstable, volatile, suicidal, needy, feels inadequate, and he is an alcoholic. \"All my characters are a bit of me but pushed to limits so there was part of me that was all those things,\" Morrison says. \"I probably made the mistake of digging as darkly as I could into the rot inside myself for that book.\" Like the characters in Distance, Morrison and his American wife Emily conducted a long-distance relationship for two years before she eventually moved to the UK. Morrison says it has resulted in a happy-ending which he could not have dared to write in his novel. So, is Morrison finally happy? He says: \"I used to wonder why I hated Henri Matisse when I was in art school and I think it was because Matisse was happy. \"I think I would like to be a bit more like Matisse in future, more calm and self-assured and to create things which are not just about being screwed up.\" Stark Talk is on BBC Radio Scotland on Tuesday 20 May at 13:30.",

The sportswear retailer says the claims \"are simply not true\". It says there is no such system and workers cannot be fired on the spot. Channel 4 News filmed undercover inside the Kingsway Business Park facility in Rochdale, which supplies all of JD Sports' stores in the UK and most of those abroad, as well as fulfilling online orders. JD employs 1,232 workers at the site and is staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week, by a combination of employees and agency staff. The ratio of employees to agency staff is about 70/30, but fluctuates seasonally. Channel 4 News says the report, to be broadcast on Wednesday, will show workers saying conditions at the Rochdale site are \"worse than a prison\" and a team leader \"boasting of sacking workers on the spot, for as little as sitting down through exhaustion\". In response, JD Sports issued a statement saying: \"We are deeply disappointed and concerned by the allegations being made which we believe are misleading and not an accurate reflection of our culture, the vast majority of our people or our standards of practice and procedures. \"Indeed, we believe a large number of the allegations put to us by Channel 4 are plainly untrue.\" JD Sports said it had a fully outlined disciplinary procedure and appeals process that applied to JD Sports employees and agency staff. Shares in JD Sports closed 6.3% lower at 316.1p. 'Three strikes' The Channel 4 report will claim JD Sports and the agency supplying workers, Assist Recruitment, operate a \"three strikes and you're out\" policy, so that workers can be dismissed for three minor misdemeanours, including having a mobile phone or a lighter in the warehouse, being late, or chewing gum. Channel 4 News said it filmed workers standing outside waiting to through security checks to enter the site. Last year, Sports Direct was criticised for operating a system at its warehouse in Derbyshire which required workers to undergo lengthy security checks. The unpaid time spent clearing security meant workers were in effect receiving less than the minimum wage. But JD Sports said workers, including agency staff, at the Kingsway warehouse were paid for time spent entering and leaving the premises. \"Our time and attendance system is specifically designed to ensure that all workers from both companies are paid for the time it takes to go through security on leaving the site; and we pay all employees in full who are up to 15 minutes late on arrival,\" the company said. 'Factual evidence' Channel 4 News showed the television footage to Iain Wright MP, who is heading a Commons inquiry into pay and conditions for low-paid workers. He told the BBC he was \"disgusted\" by what appeared to be happening in the UK's warehouse sector and that there was a sense that employees were being \"treated like scum\". \"It sounds like it's systematic across this area of employment and the government really needs to clamp down on this,\" Mr Wright said. He said JD company would be invited to give evidence to the Commons select committee. JD Sports said it was disappointed that Channel 4 News had not taken into account the \"factual evidence\" it had provided to reporters. The company said once Channel 4 News had allowed access to the footage, it would investigate the claims fully.",

Project director Dr Jeannette Baxter said the bombing of Guernica a month earlier precipitated their flight. The Spanish Civil War broke out in 1936 and while Britain and France supported a non-intervention policy, this was not the case for Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy. But when German and Italian aircraft destroyed 80% of the Basque market town Guernica - an event immortalised in Pablo Picasso's painting - there was an upsurge of British support which led to the rapid evacuation by ship of 3,881 children, organised by volunteers, according to Dr Baxter. \"The children, who were aged five to 15, thought they would only be gone for three months - but after Bilbao fell, they were unable to go home,\" she said. Volunteer Poppy Vulliamy established a colony at Oakley Park, near Hoxne on the Norfolk/Suffolk border, for 50 older \"bad boys\". Dr Baxter said: \"She rubbished the idea the boys were 'bad', as the press had called them \"They were strongly political, opinionated hormonal adolescents who had been traumatised.\" Ms Vulliamy encouraged them to organise a parliament to help run the colony, an organisational structure which continued when they moved to Rollesby near Great Yarmouth. Jessie Stewart, from the Cambridge Basque Children's Committee, helped organise a home for 29 children, first in Pampisford and later in Cambridge. They created their own school magazine, which has been translated for the first time thanks to the Heritage Lottery funded project. Most of the children returned to Spain in 1939 after the civil war ended. Plans to restage a boys football match have been shelved due to the coronavirus restrictions.

Earlier this week the Co-op Bank's board put it up for sale, four years after a near collapse. The bank was rescued in a deal that left the Co-operative Group with a 20% stake and hedge funds owning the rest. Co-op Bank has four million customers and is well known for its ethical standpoint, which its board said made it \"a strong franchise with significant potential\" to prospective buyers. But the former business secretary and the two MPs told BBC 5 live's Wake up to Money that they disagree, fearing an impact on choice and competition. \"Whatever we think about the Co-op Bank and how it got in to trouble, it's bad news when we have only a very, very small number of banks catering to domestic and business customers,\" Sir Vince said. \"Britain is in a very unusual position of having a very high concentration of banks, quite unlike most continental countries such as Germany, quite unlike the United States, where there are lots of big and small banks catering to different needs.\" He said: \"We have a concentrated system, and it's one that has historically provided a very bad service.\" Higher charges Treasury Committee member George Kerevan, the SNP MP for East Lothian, said he was \"extremely concerned\". \"My big worry is that one of the big vulture funds will buy it up simply to squeeze out what remaining value there is, and we'll have even less competition with banks on the high street,\" Mr Kerevan said. \"Britain has probably the most monopolised, concentrated banking system in the world. It means there's no competition, which means that charges to the consumer are higher than they need to be,\" he added. Meanwhile, Helen Goodman, Labour MP for Bishop Auckland and who also sits on the Treasury Committee, had particular concern about the sale because \"it's the only ethical bank which is available to large numbers of people\". \"It seems to me that that's an option that many people wish to have,\" Mrs Goodman said. \"So obviously, if the Co-op Bank has to be sold I hope that whoever buys it can make a firm, legally-binding commitment to continue with this ethical stance.\" Earlier this week, Co-op Bank chief executive Liam Coleman said the company's strong brand and \"distinct values and ethics\" put it in a strong position. \"In a market where there is little to distinguish many banking brands, we believe this continues to set us apart,\" he said. The Co-operative Group said in a statement it \"supported the plan to find the bank a new home\", adding that its \"goal is to ensure the continued provision of the type of co-operative banking products our members want\".

Parliament has closed for one month to combat the spread of coronavirus. But some MPs have expressed concern that this will prevent the government from being held to account for its decisions. The House of Commons had been due to break for Easter on 31 March, but shut down on 25 March instead. Commons leader Jacob Rees-Mogg said the \"aim\" was for MPs to return to work on 21 April, but added he would \"keep the situation under review in terms of medical advice\". Mr Ellwood has written to the prime minister to ask him to take part in two online meetings a week with all of the chairs of the select committees. Speaking to the BBC, Mr Ellwood said there was \"a sense of guilt\" among MPs who felt they were leaving Westminster at a time of national crisis - adding that most members' inboxes had \"doubled\" with concerns from constituents. He said the coronavirus had exposed \"technical flaws\" which make it hard for MPs to hold formal meetings remotely but said parliamentary staff were working \"overtime to correct\" this. \"This has been a wake up call about the way we work,\" he said. He praised the prime minister as having been \"phenomenal\" at keeping Parliament and the public informed and was optimistic Mr Johnson would agree to meet committee chairs. The prime minister has not yet publicly responded to Mr Ellwood's letter but on Wednesday, the Leader of the House Jacob Rees-Mogg emphasised the importance of Parliament being able to \"continue its vital democratic functions of conducting scrutiny, authorising spending and making laws\". The closure followed concerns that Parliament had become a hotspot for the coronavirus with a number of MPs self-isolating after displaying symptoms. But some MPs questioned the decision arguing it risked undermining the Commons' role as a scrutinising body at a time of national crisis. Labour’s Wes Streeting said he felt “very uncomfortable” that the Commons would start recess before the government announced its package to help the self-employed. MPs ability to question ministers will be “diminished”, he said. Another Labour MP, Barry Sheerman, called for \"new ways of maintaining proper scrutiny of the government\". Technology providing solutions The Liaison Committee is made up of the select committee chairs and traditionally takes evidence from the PM a couple of times a year. Mr Johnson is yet to face the committee and has in the past been criticised for cancelling scheduled hearings. Speaking at Prime Minister's Questions on Wednesday, Mr Johnson promised to work with the Commons Speaker to ensure Parliament is kept informed. Despite the closure of Parliament some committees are still taking place. On Thursday, the health committee held an evidence session in which both witnesses and MPs took part remotely. Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle told MPs work would take place throughout the break to ensure they had the technology they need to stay connected, and he expressed the hope that, with the government’s help, they could create “the virtual parliament and virtual select committees”. And speaking to the Today programme on BBC Radio 4, Sir Lindsay said accountability was important but added \"we've got to be careful we don't tie ministers down so they don't get on with their job.\" \"Getting the balance right is important,\" he added.",

The former host of Comedy Central's satire programme, The Colbert Report, opened the show with a sketch, singing the national anthem around the country. He also paid tribute to his predecessor Letterman, calling himself \"a fan\". \"We will try to honour his achievement by doing the best show we can and occasionally making the network very mad at us,\" said Colbert. \"As long as I have nine months to make one hour of TV, I could do this forever,\" he added. The comedian played a hardline conservative in his previous show, Comedy Central's satirical news show The Colbert Report, but he appeared as himself for his mainstream debut. He was first seen singing the Star Spangled Banner with people at a bowling alley, in a factory and at a youth baseball game - where an \"umpire\" took unmasked himself as Jon Stewart - Colbert's former colleague on The Daily Show . As the segment ended, and Colbert walked on stage he was given a standing ovation by the studio audience, who chanted, \"Stephen, Stephen, Stephen\". \"If I knew you were going to do that, I would have come out here months ago,\" he joked. Analysis - Nick Bryant - BBC New York correspondent \"With this show, I begin the search for the real Stephen Colbert. I just hope I don't find him on Ashley Madison.\" With a self-referential zinger, the new host of The Late Show got straight to the question that many viewers doubtless tuned in asking: Who is Stephen Colbert, now that he has shed the hyper-conservative persona that catapulted him to fame on the cable channel Comedy Central? The answer, pretty much, is the Stephen Colbert of old. As he joked to one of his first guests, the Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush: \"I used to play a narcissistic conservative pundit. Now I'm just a narcissist.\" From the supreme confidence with which he bounded onto stage at the famed Ed Sullivan Theatre to the news-style graphics he used to punctuate his comic riffs - one featured a photo-shopped wall along the Mexican border made up of Trump Towers toppled on their sides - much of his show reprised the style and content of The Colbert Report. So his debut show on CBS felt more like a refurbishment of his on-screen personality rather than a reinvention. Colbert presented his first guest Clooney with a belated wedding gift for his marriage last year to human rights lawyer Amal Alamuddin - a Tiffany paperweight inscribed with the phrase, \"I don't know you.\" He also binged on a bag of Oreo cookies as he made jokes about Donald Trump, who recently vowed never to eat Oreos again after makers Nabisco Inc said it was opening a new plant in Mexico. Fellow light-night TV figures also wished him well - including NBC rival Jimmy Fallon who said: \"Have a good show, buddy. See you in the locker room.\" The British host of the Late Late Show, James Corden, showed support on Twitter. The broadcast ended with Colbert singing with his new house band, led by Jon Batiste, in a cover of Sly and the Family Stone's Everyday People. They were joined by Mavis Staples, Aloe Blacc, Ben Folds and Buddy Guy, amongst others. Writing in the Los Angeles Times, critic Robert Lloyd said: \"It started strong, ended strong, and in between it was mostly ... strong.\" The New York Post said: \"The cranky, jaded ghost of David Letterman was driven out of the Ed Sullivan Theatre as its new tenant, Stephen Colbert, made a rousing, late-night debut.\" There were too many adverts, said Variety, which timed a \"nine-minute break\" between Clooney and Bush. But, once the show hits its stride: \"Colbert looks like he has the skill set to settle in and make this job his own, night in and night out.\"",

            "input": "By James JeffreyAustin, Texas Kent Whitaker supported the death penalty until his son, who arranged for a gunman to kill Mr Whitaker and the rest of his family, landed on death row in Texas. Now Mr Whitaker, the sole survivor of the attack, is desperately seeking clemency for Thomas Whitaker before his execution scheduled on 22 February. \"The petition is based on a legal overstep that shouldn't have happened,\" says Mr Whitaker. \"The district attorney chose to pursue the death penalty despite every victim involved, myself, the relatives of my wife, begging him not to do it.\" Shot in the upper chest in the 2003 attack, Mr Whitaker barely survived the ambush after hearing the sound of the bullets that killed his youngest, Kevin, a college sophomore, and his wife Tricia. Mr Whitaker has asked the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles to recommend to Texas Governor Greg Abbott to commute his son's sentence to life in prison. \"I'm not asking them to forgive him as that's not their business,\" he says. \"But I don't want on 22 February to have to relive what happened to Tricia and Kevin, and lose the last member of my direct family in the name of justice that I think is wrong.\" Despite Mr Whitaker's predicament, both executions and the awarding of death sentences are actually decreasing in Texas, reflecting a nationwide trend. \"The culture now is different,\" says Kristin Houlé, executive director of the Texas Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty (TCADP). \"There isn't the same appetite for it from either the public or elected officials.\" Since 1976 and the US Supreme Court upholding capital punishment, 1,468 people have been executed in the US - 548 in Texas. Harris County became known as the execution capital of America when it was executing the highest number of people in all of Texas' counties. But for the last three years, it has not imposed any death sentences, while 2017 was the first year since 1985 it did not execute anyone. Executions in Texas peaked in 2000 when there were 40. Last year there were seven, matching 2016 for the lowest number of executions in two decades, amid a national total of 23. \"Whatever happens in Texas does have a ripple effect because it has been so notorious for its death penalty practices,\" says Ms Houlé. \"So any move away has a significant impact on the rest of the country.\" The shift in opinion - increasingly in conservative circles, too - follows decades of death penalty use during which it has proven exorbitantly expensive compared to putting someone in prison for life, ineffective in making society safer, while open to manipulation from ambitious prosecutors and old-fashioned human error, observers say. \"More people know about the risks of innocent people being executed after TV programmes like 60 Minutes,\" says Heather Beaudoin, of Conservatives Concerned About the Death Penalty. \"They're thinking: 'Wow, this can happen - are we willing to risk it?'\" Other concerns include: drug shortages for lethal injections adding to the bureaucratic maelstrom and expense; increased mistrust of government; and botched executions leaving victims and relatives of the condemned and prison guards traumatised. \"The death penalty wouldn't have survived in America if it weren't for evangelical Christians,\" notes Shane Claiborne, a prominent Christian activist and best-selling author. \"Where evangelical Christians are most concentrated is where the death penalty survives.\" But, Mr Claiborne notes, younger evangelicals in states like Texas are increasingly embracing a pro-life interpretation that goes beyond the confines of the abortion debate to also include the likes of the Black Lives Matter movement, immigration and those on death row. Meanwhile, the 2005 introduction in Texas courts of life without parole as a sentencing option in capital cases has helped decrease the number of death sentences and executions. \"When you sit with a victim's family and say it could take 10 years for an execution or they can be done with it now [through a life sentence without parole], they say they want to move on with their lives,\" says Texas criminal defence lawyer Keith Hampton, who is representing the Whitaker clemency case. Another change in the Texas criminal justice landscape that's had an impact is increasing scepticism about gauging the \"future dangerousness\" a felon poses to society, which plays a critical role in the awarding of death sentences in only Texas and Oregon. \"When it comes to so-called lethal prediction you might as well gaze into a crystal ball, the predictions are that unreliable,\" Mr Hampton says. \"Studies show, and prison staff report, that those serving life sentences are the best behaved.\" As a result, Mr Hampton explains, prosecutors know juries are less willing to tolerate the pursuit of a death sentence and the additional expense and time it involves. Those who support the death penalty point out the decreasing trend also reflects a nationwide drop in murder rates, and that the death penalty continues playing an effective role, and retains public support, with the small percentage of eligible homicides. \"Watching an execution is the most mentally draining experience, but it should be utilised for those who commit the most heinous, diabolical, despicable crimes known to man that cry out for the ultimate punishment,\" says Andy Kahan, a crime victim advocate for the City of Houston, who has accompanied victims to witness eight executions. \"Everyone has a right to disagree. I wouldn't be surprised if the death penalty eventually goes. The law is subject to change. Everything comes in cycles.\" Both sides in the debate cite studies supporting respective claims about the death penalty achieving or not achieving deterrence - currently studies supporting the latter appear to have the upper hand. \"Anyone who says it has been definitively proven that the death penalty has no deterrent effect either doesn't know what they are talking about or are lying,\" says Kent Scheidegger, legal director of the Criminal Justice Legal Foundation, which has supported death penalty cases throughout the country. \"The debate over studies supporting its deterrent effect is whether they have sufficiently shown it.\" Despite Texas' punitive reputation, Ms Houlé notes it was the first state to pass legislation giving defendants access to the courts if the science behind a conviction changed or was debunked, and had led the way nationally at compensating those wrongfully incarcerated. At the same time, however, trends such as racial bias in the Texas courts remain a concern. Capital punishment in the US Source: Death Penalty Information Center Over the last five years, 70% of death sentences have been imposed on people of colour - more than half of these sentences were for African-American defendants, according to TCADP. Also, though less than 13% of Texas's population is African American, they constitute 43.8% of death row inmates, according to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. Death penalty critics also highlight how arbitrarily it is applied based on factors such as a crime's location or the whim of a district attorney. Mr Whitaker's petition noted how the gunman was given a life sentence after pleading guilty to murder, while the getaway driver agreed to a 15-year plea deal and testified against Whitaker. Comprising seven individuals who neither meet publicly nor have to physically confer with each other, the board can give its decision at any moment up to the day of execution. The execution of Thomas Whitaker would be the fourth this year in America - all carried out by Texas. \"Texas claims to be a victims' rights state,\" My Whitaker says. \"What I am asking is that this means something even when the victim wants mercy and not vengeance.\"",

            "input": "Mark DevenportPolitical editor, Northern Ireland@markdevenporton Twitter The first - already the subject of copious amounts of analysis - came at the start of the week with the abstention of 11 MLAs on a bill which clarifies the power of individual Stormont ministers. The second - at the end of the week - played out over Twitter and was rather less theoretical. Instead, two leading female DUP politicians decided to take on mask refusenik Sammy Wilson over his disdain for face coverings. To extend our bus metaphor, the dispute over the Executive Committee Functions Bill is a bit of a magical mystery tour. No one is precisely sure of the destination or how long the journey might take. If former DUP adviser Richard Bullick is correct and the new law enables Sinn Féin ministers to engage on solo runs on policies which prove anathema to unionists, then Arlene Foster could be in trouble. But if not, the leader will be able to stick to her line that it's a summer story blown out of proportion and she can calm her assembly troops with a few reassuring chats. The second split is less hypothetical. With parts of England showing worrying signs of a Covid-19 spike just as Northern Ireland's 80,000 shielders are being told they can leave their homes, there is a divide between those in the DUP prioritising personal liberty and economic recovery and others stressing the need to keep the community safe. Ever provocative, the East Antrim MP Sammy Wilson posed on Twitter at an ice cream parlour in Islandmagee, County Antrim. His message was \"Support Local Business\" and he went on to point out that \"you can't eat ice cream when you're muzzled!\" The picture of Sammy with his \"poke\" (to use Ulster slang for a cone) illustrated an argument he has been making against the mandatory wearing of masks in shops - a policy recommended by the health minister and chief medical officer, but which the executive has so far stalled on approving. In another tweet, Mr Wilson argued: \"Given that there were five deaths related to, not caused by, Covid-19 in July and new infections remain low, it would be mad for the health minister to enforce the wearing of face masks in NI. \"Retail has been open for business throughout July with no Covid spike. Time to rethink.\" (This predated the latest NISRA figures released on Friday). Predictably the MP's opponents objected to the argument, with Alliance councillor Danny Donnelly visiting the same ice cream parlour wearing a mask to show how you could step outside and then remove your face covering to eat your cornet in the open air. More unusually, other DUP politicians publicly took on Mr Wilson. His former office manager, Pam Cameron, who is now an MLA in South Antrim, replied: \"Just your opinion Sammy - I for one will be wearing a face covering and doing the little bit I can to protect those whose shielding is paused today\". Then the former South Belfast MP Emma Little-Pengelly joined in, acknowledging that it's not advisable to eat wearing a mask, but saying that apart from that people should use them. \"Do you know what's worse than wearing a mask?\" she asked her party colleague. \"It is being in intensive care on a ventilator or not being able to breathe. If not for you, importantly keep our more vulnerable loved ones safe!\" Apart from being a former MP, Ms Little-Pengelly is currently Arlene Foster's special adviser (and as such was involved in the legal machinations around the Executive Committee Functions Bill). It's hard to imagine she took on the East Antrim MP over face coverings without being pretty sure her leader would approve. As things stand, Mr Wilson's view that wearing face coverings should be left to the individual, not government, remains just about in line with executive policy which is to use a PR campaign to encourage shoppers to cover up of their own accord (although the MP doesn't seem to be doing any encouraging). That could change on 20 August when ministers will review the situation and could move to a compulsory policy. Whether it's face coverings or climate change, Mr Wilson has a long track record of saying and doing what he likes regardless of what others think. It might be refreshing if other DUP politicians follow his example in debating their contrasting views in public rather than hiding behind the veil of internal party discipline.",

RSPCA Cymru's Steve Carter said workers faced \"immense demands\". The charity said the economic downturn was probably still partly to blame with some people unable to look after pets. The 100% conviction rate was up from 97.8%. Mr Carter said it demonstrated \"how robust our investigative process is\". The number of animals rescued or collected also more than doubled, which the charity says is more positive.

Evan Lloyd Evans, 69, was jailed for 10 weeks after being found guilty of multiple animal welfare offences in October 2013. The conditions the horses were kept in were described as \"appalling and completely inappropriate\". EMACIATED DOGS: In another case, a married couple from Pembrokeshire were banned from keeping dogs for five years after their dogs were found to be so emaciated that one of them - a lurcher - weighed less than a cat. CATS LEFT TO BREED: A mother and daughter from Wrexham who neglected 17 cats in their care were disqualified from keeping all animals indefinitely. The family had left the cats to breed uncontrollably with only one of their cats being neutered. Several, including the two kittens, had to be put to sleep because of their serious health issues. Both women were given community orders. 'WORST' FLEA INFESTATION: A suspended sentence and life ban were given to a Pontypridd man, 55, who had a cat with the worst flea infestation the vet had ever seen. The cat, which was found living in squalid conditions in an upstairs bedroom, recovered. The man had previously been prosecuted by the RSPCA regarding two of his dogs. Source: RSPCA The RSPCA believes the economic downturn could still be playing in part in the increase in cases reported to it, where people are unable to look after pets which in some cases leads to neglect. The charity said social media was also playing a part in raising the profile of the charity's work. \"We are getting people reporting cases on Twitter but we'd really encourage them to contact our helpline as the first port of call, and those messages we receive on social media we refer on to there,\" said a spokesman. Mr Carter said the rise in cautions reflected how the charity had tried to work with people to educate them. \"However, where there is evidence of a crime and serious animal abuse then we will take legal action to protect the animals and prevent further abuse. We also want to see courts taking these offences far more seriously,\" he said.",

A university graduate, she has studied and worked in Glasgow for 10 years. She said: \"Aged 18, I arrived in Glasgow on a Tuesday and started work on Wednesday. My mother had a catering company back in Poland, so I had a lot of industry experience. \"I spoke English and I benefited from a positive stereotype. Employers would say to me, 'you're a Polish girl. You'll be hard-working. We'll take you on.' \"That was the positive side. But employers wrongly assumed I didn't have the legal right to work here and that I would work harder for less. I had to fight to get the same contract my co-workers took for granted, and to be paid minimum wage. \"My supervisor would make fun of my accent. You learned 'not to understand' certain things. It made life easier. \"The occasional client would tell me to 'get back to my own country' if I didn't serve their drink quickly enough. I would respond with a look, but only that. \"You don't want to be aggressive or start trouble. But I think I would have encountered greater challenges if I wasn't white.

Lebanese businessman Jammal Samih was also sentenced to 20 years' hard labour in the same trial, while a third man in charge of logistics at the presidential office faces two years in prison. Kamerhe will also be banned for running for the presidency for 10 years after completing his sentence. His lawyers have said they will appeal, arguing that hard labour is prohibited by the DRC's constitution, according to AFP news agency. Anti-corruption activists have praised the verdict. \"I sincerely think that this is a positive sign for the fight against corruption,\" Florimond Muteba of Congolese transparency organisation, the Observatory of Public Expenditure, was quoted as saying by Reuters news agency. The trial continued with a replacement judge after the death of Judge Raphael Yanyi in May. An initial police report said he had died of a heart attack. But a post-mortem examination later found Yanyi , due to the blows of sharp points or knife-like objects, which were thrust into his head\", the country's justice minister said.",

So how have previous PMs warmed to their four-legged civil servant over the years? A cross-species special relationship or a classic case of feline indifference? Theresa May In a 2016 interview with the Sunday Times, Theresa May said she was \"very happy to see Larry\", but hinted she was more of a dog person after growing up with them at home. She did note there were parts of Number 10 where Larry \"rules the roost\" with certain seats he expects to sit on. However, her own office chair was not one of them. Their relationship is unlikely to have improved after Larry was tactically extracted by police before Mrs May's resignation speech amid fears he would upstage the departing PM. With many outgoing prime ministers in their final days often rewarding or knighting members of their loyal staff, perhaps a chance to repair the relationship still remains. But the chief mouser is likely to be more interested in the ongoing turf war between him and his Foreign Office rival, Palmerston. Multiple fights have broken out in front of cameras on Downing Street, with security guards having to step in to rescue Palmerston in October 2016. David Cameron In his final Prime Minister's Questions before resigning, David Cameron quashed rumours he and the Downing Street cat did not get on by brandishing a picture of Larry curled up on his lap. \"Sadly, I cannot take Larry with me - he belongs to the house and the staff love him very much, as do I.\" In significant moment in Anglo-American relations, Larry even allowed Barack Obama to stroke him during the presidential visit in 2011 with Mr Cameron later revealing Larry was \"all right\" with him. Mr Cameron was actually responsible for bringing Larry to Downing Street in 2011. The then four-year-old arrived from Battersea Dogs and Cats Home - his mouse-catching skills honed from his time as a stray. Gordon Brown Before Larry took up occupation, black tabby Sybil - named after the Fawlty Towers character - briefly stalked the streets of Downing Street. But her home was not No 10, but No 11 with Chancellor Alistair Darling. The lack of a feline presence in Gordon Brown's HQ raised questions, and Mr Brown's official spokesperson was forced to deny the PM and his wife had a problem with Sybil. Tony Blair The incoming prime minister had to share his home with the veteran Humphrey, who had already been patrolling the corridors for eight years when the Blairs moved in. But rumours circled the Westminster village when Humphrey suddenly left. Downing Street was forced to deny he had been put down, insisting he had instead been re-housed for health reasons. This led to Conservative MP Alan Clark using a parliamentary question to ask Mr Blair to outline what \"steps were taken by Cabinet Office staff to establish the state of health of Humphrey the cat, prior to his departure from Downing Street\". In his response, the prime minister explained that he was sent away due to worries about the \"general deterioration in his condition\". Reports from the countryside suggested he had \"responded very well and put on weight\". Previous pets In a career spanning 13 years, Wilberforce served under four prime ministers from Edward Heath through to Margaret Thatcher. According to information revealed by the Home Office in 2005, the earliest record of a chief mouser is from 1929 when a penny a day from the petty cash was requested to feed a cat called Peter. Peter was succeeded by two more Peters and a Peta, who caused a rift in No 10 because of her lack of toilet training.",

Dr Esyllt Llwyd, a GP in Waunfawr, Gwynedd, said more locally-trained staff could have eased pressure on local services during the pandemic. Welsh Government said the feasibility of a medical school was being assessed. Dr Llywd said: \"The evidence has been there for years now. \"What we've seen is a change in the dynamic of how medicine is working and there was such a potential to carry on care in the community but we didn't have the resources. \"We just need people who have trained here, who feel the same passion if you like for filling these gaps in our services,\" she added.

There was Cardiff in Wales but everywhere else was in England. \"I wanted to do some of my course in Welsh so I had to go to Cardiff University.\" She is one of 37 students on the Bangor/Cardiff course, but the health board and university have submitted a business case to expand the course. The Welsh Government said it has set up a task group to \"look at the feasibility\" of a medical school in north Wales. It added it had invested £7m in the course and any GP practices run directly by health boards are done so to ensure vital services.

If it is acceptable, the new contract will come into effect the day after the notice period expires. Mr Black continued: \"I am disappointed that this step has been forced upon us.

            "input": "PM Tony Abbott said a senior Australian Islamic State militant had called for \"demonstration killings\", reportedly including a public beheading. The raids, with at least 800 heavily armed officers, led to 15 arrests. One man has been charged with planning an attack. Prosecutors said it involved \"gruesomely\" killing someone. Omarjan Azari, 22, is accused of conspiring with Mohammad Ali Baryalei - believed to be the most senior Australian member of IS - and several others between May and September, according to court documents. 'Imperative danger' Australian media reports said they had discussed abducting members of the public and beheading them on camera, draped in a black IS flag. In recent weeks, IS has released video footage showing the beheadings of two American journalists and a British aid worker seized in Syria. Analysis: BBC's Jon Donnison in Sydney The news of an alleged plot to publicly behead a random Australian will shock many people here, including the vast majority of this country's long-established moderate Muslim community. Many Muslims are unhappy with what's going on in Iraq and Syria but would never resort to violence. These raids risk antagonising the broader Islamic community. But Australia, like many countries including Britain, is worried about the threat from Islamic State, not just abroad but at home. More than a decade on from Australia's support for the US-led war in Iraq, the country finds itself embroiled in a conflict that is far from over. Tony Abbott this week announced he is sending 600 troops to the Middle East to assist in the fight against Islamic State. Security forces clearly face a battle at home too. Who are Australia's radicalised Muslims? Asked about the reports at a news conference, Mr Abbott said: \"That's the intelligence we received.'' \"Direct exhortations were coming from an Australian who is apparently quite senior in [IS] to networks of support back in Australia to conduct demonstration killings here in this country.\" Prosecutor Michael Allnutt said Mr Azari had planned to commit \"extremely serious\" offences that involved \"an usual level of fanaticism\" and were \"clearly designed to shock, horrify and terrify\" the public. The plot involved the \"random selection of persons to rather gruesomely execute\", and those involved had an \"irrational determination\" to carry it out even though they knew they were under surveillance, he added. The charge against Mr Azari stemmed from a telephone call intercepted earlier this week, which prompted police to carry out the raids. \"It's been an immediate reaction to a clear, imperative danger,\" Mr Allnutt said. Mr Azari's barrister told the court that police had very little evidence to support the charge, but he did not apply for bail. Another of those arrested, a 24-year-old man, was charged with unauthorised possession of a prohibited weapon and possessing ammunition without a licence. About 200 people from Sydney's Muslim community held a protest against the raids on Thursday night. Speakers reportedly made claims of police brutality and political hysteria. 'Young recruits' The anti-terrorism operation - the largest in Australian history - began early on Thursday, with officers executing 25 search warrants across 12 suburbs of Sydney. Other raids took place in Brisbane. Acting Australian Federal Police Commissioner Andrew Colvin said they were not directly linked to the Sydney operation but related to a raid last week on an Islamic centre that led to two men being charged with terrorism offences. Australia and foreign fighters: Phil Mercer: Australia's home-grown terror threat Mr Colvin said the age of Mr Azari and others under investigation were of concern, adding: \"We are seeing that younger and younger men are deciding to take up arms or wanting to participate or in some way contribute to the cause.\" Last week, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation reported that Mr Baryalei, a former Sydney bouncer and part-time actor, had recruited a \"who's who\" of Australian IS fighters. The Australian police subsequently confirmed that a warrant had been issued for him for \"alleged terrorism-related activities\". Officials say dozens of Australians have gone to fight for IS, which has taken control of large swathes of Iraq and Syria, and the al-Nusra Front, an al-Qaeda-affiliated rebel group in Syria. Australia has recently committed troops to combat IS in Iraq.",

Councillors voted to dismiss her after an inquiry in June found she made \"significant errors\" and raised concerns about treatment of staff. Ms McManus, who lodged two legal claims before her dismissal, said she was \"saddened\". She was not due to formally depart from the authority until the end of August under her notice term. However, the Local Democracy Reporting Service (LDRS) said her contract had been terminated with immediate effect without notice or pay, after a majority of councillors backed the motion at a full council meeting. An internal audit found the council's rules and procedures had been \"consistently breached\" often by its most senior employees. 'Counts for nothing' The LDRS said Ms McManus' dismissal related to a separate independent investigation, which found she made \"significant errors of judgement\" and also raised concerns over the treatment of staff. The investigators recommended she be issued with more than six written and final written warnings, but the council's own cross-party internal disciplinary committee suggested she should be instantly dismissed for \"serious misconduct\". Council leader Paul Foster said the verdict of the independent investigation was \"significant and serious\". The LDRS understands a third body involved in the procedure for dismissing a chief executive - known as the \"independent panel\" - did not support the conclusion that she had committed serious misconduct. That panel backed her dismissal, but not without notice or pay. The Association of Local Authority Chief Executives and Senior Managers (ALACE), which represented Ms McManus during disciplinary proceedings, said it was the first time the panel process had been used \"and South Ribble has shown it counts for nothing\". ALACE's Ian Miller added that the severity of the penalty was \"both greater than anything recommended... and entirely against the unanimous views of the independent panel\". Ms McManus said in a statement she was \"saddened by the actions of councillor Foster and his acolytes since the change in leadership at South Ribble\". She said she \"worked hard to lead a team of dedicated and professional staff\" and was \"proud... of the successes we achieved\". \"Unfortunately, following a breakdown of trust with the leader, an independent investigation ensued [and] unsurprisingly dismissed any suggestion of gross or serious misconduct on my part,\" she said. \"I did not take lightly the decision to resign and litigate but… I saw little alternative. \"With the benefit of all the facts it will be for the court to determine the outcome of this unfortunate dispute,\" she added.

His granddaughter Hannah Ellis, said: \"This opportunity will allow them to achieve their vision of modernising their exhibition to ensure it is ever evolving, interactive and available in a digital format. \"It will also help them engage with the local communities and organisations, as well as connect with a variety of audiences of different ages and diverse backgrounds.\" Officials will use the money to carry out research with what they say are the few people still alive who knew Thomas \"to ensure these memories are saved for the future\". The poet died in November 1953, aged 39, and the Dylan Thomas Centre is home to a permanent exhibition celebrating his life. It houses unique archive material, rare manuscripts, artwork, photographs, books and original sound recordings, but only 140 out of 950 artefacts are currently on display. Touring exhibition The grant will also allow the centre to give access to the wider collection and digitise the artefacts as well as refreshing the exhibition and interpretation to create an interactive learning experience. Plans also include appointing staff to help develop writing workshops, events and activity packs, and a touring exhibition to visit schools, festivals and community venues. Nick Bradley, Swansea council's cabinet member for regeneration, said: \"Dylan Thomas is Swansea's most famous son whose worldwide legacy is enduring and it's vital we do all we can to mark, celebrate and promote his links with our city. \"This is especially the case as we head towards the centenary of his birth in 2014. \"We're delighted to have secured a development grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund which will allow us to further develop our proposals to secure additional funding in future.\" HLF has previously invested £820,000 into the regeneration of Swansea's Cwmdonkin Park which was an important source of inspiration to the poet and featured in his poem, The Hunchback in the Park. The work is due for completion at the end of 2013.",

            "input": "By James GallagherHealth and science reporter, BBC News Cases of the infection may come from contact with animals. However, if the virus can spread between people it poses a much more serious threat. One man in the UK is thought to have caught the infection from his father. However, officials say the threat to the whole population remains very low. There have been 11 confirmed cases of the infection around the world. It causes pneumonia and sometimes kidney failure - five patients have died. This is the third case identified in the UK. The first was a patient flown in from Qatar for treatment. The second was linked to travel to the Middle East and Pakistan. The virus is then thought to have spread from the second patient to his son. There have been suggestions of person to person transmission in earlier cases in the Middle East, but this was not confirmed. Susceptible The third UK case is being treated in intensive care at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham. The patient is known to have an underlying health condition which left them with a weakened immune system. This may have made them susceptible to the infection. There have been no signs of the virus spreading to staff at the hospital. Prof John Watson, head of the respiratory diseases department at the Health Protection Agency (HPA), said: \"Confirmed novel coronavirus infection in a person without travel history to the Middle East suggests that person-to-person transmission has occurred, and that it occurred in the UK. \"Although this case provides strong evidence for person to person transmission, the risk of infection in most circumstances is still considered to be very low.\" The exact source of the new virus and how it spreads is still unknown. The leading theory is that it comes from animals, the new Sars-like virus does appear to be closely related to a virus in bats. However, if the infection needs to jump from an animal to a person with each infection the threat would be much lower. The World Health Organization reported cases from within the same family in Saudi Arabia in November 2012. It was impossible to tell whether each patient caught the infection separately - or if it had spread between them. A WHO spokesperson said: \"We know that in some of those cases there was close physical contact between family members caring for one another, so we can't rule out human-to-human transmission.\" The two cases in the UK, with only one case linked to foreign travel, provide the strongest evidence that the infection can spread between people. The Health Protection Agency (HPA) said it was \"overwhelmingly likely\" human-to-human transmission had occurred. However, if the virus could readily and easily spread between people then far more cases than the 11 detected so far would have been detected. New strain Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses ranging from the common cold to the Sars (severe acute respiratory syndrome) virus, which spread through droplets of body fluids produced by sneezing and coughing. It is thought these cases do not represent a \"tip of the iceberg\" with far more people being infected with mild or no symptoms, but the infection is still being analysed. In 2003 an outbreak of Sars killed about 800 people after the virus spread to more than 30 countries around the world. The new coronavirus was first identified in September 2012 in a patient in Saudi Arabia who has since died. No travel restrictions are in place. Prof John Oxford, a virology expert at Queen Mary, University of London, said: \"This doesn't raise too many alarm bells. \"In a family things can spread far more easily than they would spread outside, people share towels and toothbrushes etc. \"If it was somebody who was not related or a nurse or a doctor - that would be a lot more serious.\" Prof Ian Jones, from the University of Reading, said: \"There is really close contact involved here, it is not 'true' human transmission in the general public. \"Although it is severe, it's not doing anything worse than some other respiratory infections, it's just a new one.\" Prof Wendy Barclay, from Imperial College London, said it was wise to keep a close eye on the virus. \"We're an incremental step closer to worrying, but it isn't a worry where we need to say there is a pandemic coming,\" she said.",

The Taliban say they have set up a \"special forces\" unit with more than 1,000 fighters that aims to crush IS. In other comments, Mr Ghani warned that if peace talks with the Taliban did not start by April the conflict would intensify, with consequences across the region. \"Time is not a friend,\" he said. \"We all understand that February and March are crucial.\" The Afghan president said observers should understand that the war in his country was \"just one component\" of a wider war that also encompassed Pakistan. \"The problems... are interrelated [and] cannot be solved by use of force in one country.

She pointed to a \"major concern\" that the virus could spread to wildlife via escaped mink. And there were questions over whether mink played a role in the origins of Sars-CoV-2, she said. Writing in The Lancet journal, Prof Koopmans, who has been leading investigations into cases in mink in the Netherlands, highlighted the risk of escaped mink transmitting the virus to other wildlife. Speaking to BBC News, the head of the Erasmus MC Department of Viroscience said mandatory early warning screening for mink was already in place in The Netherlands, which should be made mandatory worldwide. While human cases seen in mink farmers \"are not a major public health risk\", it is crucial to learn lessons from the pandemic, Prof Koopmans added. \"Animals and animal farms are an important source of food and income for many, but there are risks associated with large scale animal production and the increasing demand does require reflection,\" she said. \"This is not to point fingers to the animal sector, this is a joint responsibility for public health and citizens. There is no large-scale farming without large scale consumer demand. \"This is part of a much larger sustainability agenda. I really hope that is what we will retain from this pandemic: the need to seriously look at more sustainable production systems for the future. \" According to the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control in Solna, Sweden, Europe has an estimated 2,750 mink farms and produces more than 27 million pelts per year. Denmark is culling an estimated 17 million mink, over fears the virus is mutating. Infections have also been detected in mink in France, Spain, Sweden, Italy, the US and Greece, as well as the Netherlands, which will now ban fur farming by March 2021. On Tuesday, the first coronavirus cases at mink farms in Poland were detected in the north of the country, according to the Medical University of Gdansk. Last week, Ireland said it would cull mink at its three remaining mink farms, citing concerns over the mutated form of the virus detected in mink on a farm in Denmark. Tests found no cases in the mink, but culling was recommended as a precaution. Mink appear particularly susceptible to Sars-CoV-2, which can spread rapidly in farms. Sars-CoV-2 has the potential to infect a range of farmed and wild mammals, with opportunities for the virus to mutate, said Prof Christine Kreuder Johnson of the school of veterinary medicine at the University of California. She told BBC News: \"A great deal (of) vigilance and monitoring of animal populations will be needed to understand genetic mutations and implications this could have for human vaccines. \"This is just another indication that we have lots of work to do to keep Covid-19 at bay for the long term.\" Follow Helen on Twitter.",

Romania is home to more than half of Europe's last remaining old-growth and primeval forests — valuable ecosystems home to bears, wolves, lynx, and wildcat. There is considerable alarm at the levels of violence illegal loggers are willing to use in order to steal wood. That wood can end up anywhere across Europe, from furniture to paper or building materials. Liviu Pop had gone out to investigate a possible case of illegal logging in a mountainous region of Maramures in north Romania when his colleagues became concerned. They tried to reach him by phone but received no response, according to local media reports. The body of the married father of three was found by police in a forest gorge on Wednesday night. An investigation has been opened but there are no suspects at this stage, case prosecutor, Bogdan Gabor, told the BBC. He may have been shot with his own gun, the prosecutor added. Raducu Gorcioaia, 50, was found dead in his car last month, a short distance away from an illegal logging site in Pascani forest district in the north-east of the country. The forest ranger had suffered serious head injuries reportedly caused by an axe. Three people, including two teenagers, are suspects in the case. 'Thugs tried to kill me' Gabriel Paun knows all about the violence associated with illegal logging. \"The forest mafia has tried to kill me several times,\" the head of environmental group Agent Green told the BBC. He has spent decades trying to protect Romania's wilderness. \"We are deeply concerned that forest rangers and activists like us are being killed while investigating illegal logging in Romania.\" \"Four years ago I was investigating close to Retezat National Park and a bunch of thugs attacked me and tried to kill me. They broke my ribs, cracked my head open and broke my hand before I managed to escape by running,\" he said. Although there are suspects in his case, the prosecution has been slow and no-one has yet been convicted. However, this month the suspects will finally face a court. \"All this time they were free and I feared for my life,\" he said. Romania's state-owned forest management company, Romsilva, which manages 48% of the country's forests, strongly condemned the latest killing and cited alarming numbers of attacks against forestry workers who were trying to protect against \"wood thieves\". It has counted 16 attacks on its forestry workers this year alone. The head of the Silva Trade Union Federation, Silviu Geana, complains that rangers are unable to defend themselves and six rangers have now lost their lives in recent years. 'Chipboard for furniture' Romania's forests are being chopped down at an alarming rate and the murder of forestry workers trying to protect the wilderness may do little to slow it down. Research by Greenpeace Romania estimates that Romania is losing as much as three hectares of its total forest cover every hour as a result of degradation, illegal and legal logging — including swathes of its pristine old-growth forests. Last month three NGOs, Agent Green, ClientEarth and EuroNatur, filed a complaint to the European Commission against Romania's government, alleging that its logging practices often contravened EU law on nature protection. \"There is a lot at stake because Romania is home to the last, vast old-growth and primeval forest cover — but they are simply becoming chipboard for furniture.\" Gabriel Paun said. The government in Bucharest says it has boosted efforts to fight illegal logging, with better inspection and monitoring, but the EU says big challenges lie ahead. The day after Liviu Pop was shot dead in a forest in Maramures, Gabriel Paun was out investigating a logging site in the Eastern Carpathians by one of the biggest commercial logging companies operating in Romania. \"They have removed much more wood than was legal to cut, but the question here is why the government allows an old-growth forest that was formed after the last ice-age to be completely removed?'\" He was later chased away by the loggers. He escaped without harm, but the risks for those fighting to defend Romania's forests is clear.",

            "input": "By Richard AndersonBusiness reporter, BBC News This is mainly because of the discovery of vast reserves of shale oil. The Energy Information Administration (EIA) in the US also forecast average global oil prices would fall from $112 a barrel in 2012 to $99 in 2014. It said US oil imports would fall by a quarter between 2012 and 2014, because of rising domestic production and the discovery of shale gas. US oil imports have been falling since 2005, when they stood at 12.5 million barrels a day. By 2014, they will have halved to six million barrels, the EIA said. Domestic production, which stood at 6.4 million barrels last year, will rise to 7.9 million barrels next year, the highest level since 1988. \"US oil production is rising extraordinarily quickly, entirely because of the application of fracking, [which is] unleashing very significant new resources into the market,\" Seth Kleinman, global head of energy strategy at Citigroup, told the BBC. Fracking is the process of blasting water at high pressure into shale rock to release oil or gas held within it. It has become widespread in the US and domestic gas prices have plummeted as a result. Many have hailed shale gas as the saviour of the US energy market. In fact, the International Energy Agency (IEA) has said it expects the US to overtake Russia as the world's biggest gas producer by 2015 and to become \"all but self-sufficient\" in its energy needs by about 2035. But critics of shale gas point to environmental concerns such as high water use and possible water contamination, the release of methane and, to a lesser extent, earth tremors caused by drilling. The process has been banned in France, while the UK recently lifted a moratorium on drilling for shale gas. 'Transformational shift' Shale gas also helps to explain the sharp drop in US oil imports forecast by the EIA in the next two years. The move away from oil \"is being driven by tighter fuel economy mandates and the transformational shift from oil to natural gas, which is extraordinarily cheap compared with oil\", says Mr Kleinman. But the US will continue to increase oil production for domestic use and to generate revenues from exports. The US will overtake Saudi Arabia as the world's biggest oil producer \"by around 2020\", an International Energy Agency (IEA) report predicted at the end of last year. In fact, global oil production will continue rise, thanks to the discovery of shale oil. \"Total oil production is about to rise,\" Fatih Birol, chief economist at the IEA, told the BBC. \"We estimate total oil production to reach about 100 million barrels a day, about 20 million higher than today. \"This growth comes from unconventional [shale] oil.\" The discovery of shale oil means global oil production will not peak in the next 20 years, Mr Birol added. The increase in oil production comes at a time when coal production is also rising sharply, largely to provide cheap energy to meet exploding demand in developing economies, particularly in Asia. The increase in production of both coal and oil has raised concerns about meeting carbon dioxide emissions targets, designed to slow the rate of increase in global temperatures.",

Fireworks are provided to scare birds under the Uist Goose Management Scheme, whose backers include Scottish Natural Heritage and RSPB Scotland. But Alasdair Allan said a lot more could be done \"by way of shooting to solve the problem\". He made his call after seeing the goose management scheme in action. The scheme is run as part of a four-year project called Machair Life+. The SNP MSP's comments came as RSPB Scotland asked for reports of geese arriving for the winter. Sightings of pink-footed geese were received from Aberdeenshire and the Cromarty Firth during Monday. Greylag numbers on the Western Isles has been a long-running issue for crofters. In 2009, they called for a major cull of the birds ahead of the following summer's harvest of grain crops and grass. The Uist Goose Management Scheme offers fireworks, kites and special fencing to frighten geese away from pastures and arable crops. Fourteen people are also employed to scare geese from August through to October. Mr Allan said he had been encouraged by the scheme but said crofters still needed more help. He said: \"What is important, I believe, is that this is an issue which has united crofters and environmentalists alike, recognising that many other wild bird species in the islands depend on crofting for their habitat. \"There is still a lot more that could be done by way of shooting to solve the problem and I am keen to engage with local estates to see if this can be facilitated. \"Indeed, although it may seem surprising initially, this is a solution which even the RSPB are very open to.\" Mr Allan said he would make representations to the Scottish government over the future of the scheme once the Machair Life+ project ends in two years' time.

Shortly after, Egypt's president met Jared Kushner, President Donald Trump's son-in-law, who is in Cairo for talks. US officials were said to be unhappy President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi recently ratified a new law regulating NGOs. The law states that NGOs are prohibited from conducting activities that \"harm national security, public order, public morality or public health\", strictly controls their funding, and gives the government the authority to monitor their activities. Violations are punishable with sentences of one to five years in prison and a fine of 50,000 to 1,000,000 Egyptian pounds ($2,820 to $56,400). Eight civil society organisations warned in June that the legislation ushered in \"unprecedented levels of repression\" and would criminalise the work of many NGOs in Egypt, making it impossible for them to function independently. On Tuesday, the Washington Post cited US officials as saying that Secretary of State Rex Tillerson had notified Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry by telephone of his decision to withhold $195m of the $1.3bn Egypt receives in military aid, and to reallocate to other countries $65.7 in additional military aid and $30m in economic aid. The unspent money would be held in a bank account until Egypt showed some progress on \"key priorities\" such as human rights abuses and the law regulating NGOs, the officials added. Egyptian officials gave the US assurances earlier this year that the NGO law would never take effect, according to Reuters news agency. On Wednesday morning, the Egyptian foreign ministry issued a statement criticising Mr Tillerson's decision. \"Egypt sees this measure as reflecting poor judgement of the strategic relationship that ties the two countries over long decades and as adopting a view that lacks an accurate understanding of the importance of supporting Egypt's stability,\" it said. A copy of the foreign minister's schedule sent out to journalists on Wednesday showed that he would not be meeting a US delegation led by Mr Kushner in Cairo, although the meeting did later go ahead. President Sisi has launched a sweeping crackdown on dissent since leading the military's overthrow of his predecessor, Mohammed Morsi, in 2013 following mass protests against his rule. Human rights activists say more than 1,000 people have been killed and tens of thousands arrested since then. Most have been supporters of Morsi and his Muslim Brotherhood, but liberal and secular opposition activists have also been targeted. The security forces have also been accused of committing flagrant abuses, including torture, enforced disappearances and extrajudicial executions. Former US President Barack Obama froze some military assistance in 2013. He insisted the restrictions would continue until Egypt showed \"credible progress\" towards democracy, but ended up restoring the military support in 2015 because it was \"in the interest of US national security\". In April, three months after taking office, President Trump said he wanted to \"reboot\" relations with Egypt and declared that he was \"very much behind\" Mr Sisi. Mr Sisi praised Mr Trump's \"unique\" personality and reportedly sought an increase in the $1.3bn in military aid that Egypt receives annually to him help battle an insurgency in the Sinai Peninsula by jihadist militants from so-called Islamic State.",

It has been organised by the Scottish government and comes on the eve of a ban on microbeads in Scotland. Groups will be encouraged to create alternatives to single-use plastics. It could mean creating publicly available facilities which enable people to re-fill containers with drinking water rather than having to buy new bottles. Another suggestion for the Action on Plastic Zero Waste Towns initiative is a scheme where takeaways are bought in returnable packaging. 'Change behaviours' The supermarket Iceland, which recently installed Scotland's first \"reverse vending\" machine at its store in Musselburgh, is one of many retailers and environmental groups attending the summit. Others include Caledonian MacBrayne Ferries, Highland Spring, the Marine Conservation Society and the Nae Straw at Aw campaign. Environment Secretary Roseanna Cunningham said: \"No one can escape the momentum that's been building around plastic waste and marine litter which is why we are bringing communities and the industry together at this summit to come up with new and innovative ways of tackling this problem. \"This new Action on Plastic project will help communities find ways of reducing and reusing materials and preventing them from polluting our seas.\" She added: \"As we approach another milestone in our fight against marine litter, when our ban on the manufacture and sale of rinse-off personal care products containing plastic microbeads comes into force, I would encourage every community and organisation in Scotland to consider what it can do to change behaviours and protect our environment.\" The focus on marine plastics was generated by BBC's Blue Planet II series which highlighted the impact of human activity on marine life. A ban was announced in January on the sale of plastic stemmed cotton buds and a consultation is under way into the creation of a deposit return scheme for bottles. Chief executive of Zero Waste Scotland, Iain Gulland, said: \"There's phenomenal interest right now on the back of the \"Blue Planet effect\" from people all over Scotland wanting to take action on reducing waste, especially single-use plastics. \"We're already supporting a number of trailblazer Zero Waste Towns and this new funding will help us to unlock even more great ideas led by communities to tackle our throwaway culture.\"",

The shortlist for the £40,000 art prize is dominated by artists who are tackling political and social issues. Naeem Mohaiemen, Charlotte Prodger and Luke Willis Thompson complete the list. Tate Britain director Alex Farquharson, who chairs the jury, said the judges had chosen \"an outstanding group of artists, all of whom are tackling the most pressing political and humanitarian issues of today\". Forensic Architecture A 15-strong collective of architects, film-makers, software developers, journalists, lawyers and scientists, whose investigations and reconstructions have provided decisive evidence in cases in countries including Germany, Greece, Israel and Guatemala. Naeem Mohaiemen Born in London and raised in Bangladesh, Mohaiemen makes films that use turbulent periods in world history to focus on the legacies of colonialism, national identity, left-wing politics and migration. His film Tripoli Cancelled was inspired by his father, while his other film, Two Meetings and a Funeral, was sparked by the lawyer who drafted the constitution of Bangladesh. Charlotte Prodger Glasgow-based Prodger is nominated for two videos. One was shot on iPhones and named Bridgit after the Neolithic deity. The other traces a history of recent video formats and the artist's personal history. The jury praised her for \"the nuanced way in which she deals with identity politics, particularly from a queer perspective\". Luke Willis Thompson The 30-year-old New Zealander makes silent black-and-white 16mm and 35mm films inspired by stop-and-search policies and killings. His films include one made with Diamond Reynolds, who used Facebook to broadcast the aftermath of the fatal shooting of her partner Philando Castile by a police officer in 2016. Mr Farquharson added: \"This shortlist highlights how important the moving image has become in exploring these debates. We are looking forward to what will be a dynamic and absorbing exhibition.\" The four nominees will have their work exhibited at Tate Britain from September, with the winner to be announced in December. Shortlist is right on the money - BBC arts editor Will Gompertz If there are two themes that bring them all together, they are that they all work in film and they're all deeply politically engaged. We're going to get four films at least and maybe a bit of installation, which are going to look at the world in which we're living and all its complexities and blurred lines, with a very sharp political edge criticising the establishment's view of fact. The art world is becoming a very politically engaged forum and I think this Turner Prize is right on the money in showcasing three artists and one collective who are questioning the world we live in, in a way perhaps artists haven't done in the recent past.

The coins, which date back over 1,700 years, were found last April by metal-detectorist Dave Crisp from Wiltshire. Steven Minnit, from the museum, said he was \"absolutely delighted\" and could not believe the public's interest. The coins will be on display when the museum's £6.9m revamp is completed in the summer. \"The story will not end there however,\" added Mr Minnit. \"As the hoard undergoes study over the next year or two many more of its secrets will be unlocked.\" 'Future generations' The National Heritage Memorial Fund (NHMF) gave the museum a grant of £294,000 so the museum could keep the hoard. A further £100,000 has also been raised for its conservation. It marks the end of a fundraising campaign which saw more than £13,000 raised at a public event in Wells. The Art Fund, a national fundraising charity for works of art, kick-started the appeal in November with a grant of £40,250 and then matched the first £10,000 raised. Elizabeth Rutherford, South West Regional Chair of the Art Fund, said: \"We in Somerset are so pleased that this is such a great thing that will be enjoyed by future generations. \"We feel really pleased that we've been able to be part of this.\" 'Economic benefit' Under the Treasure Act, the money from the coins goes to the finder and landowner. Since their discovery, the coins have been on display at the British Museum in London. Speaking when the coin's discovery was announced, Mr Crisp said the money did not matter. \"I'll always be the finder (of the largest hoard found in one pot) unless someone beats me of course and there's a lot more coins out there. \"When I pick something up and I hold it in my hands and someone lost that 1,000, 2,000 years ago, that is fantastic, it really is.\" In 2009, the largest Anglo Saxon collection of artefacts was discovered in Staffordshire. The £3.3m treasure has been on show in the county since its discovery. Phillip Atkins, the leader of Staffordshire County Council, said the Frome Hoard would bring an economic benefit to Somerset. \"It's a part of history that's not very well lit up by a torch but when you have these major finds I think you'll find a great deal of interest from people all over the place coming in to have a look at the coins.\" He said the 2012 Olympic games would see tourists flocking to see them.",

His proposal was one of several put forward by the pharmaceutical industry at a hearing in Washington where firms were grilled about high US drug costs. Senators told the companies the current pricing system is \"unacceptable\". What is the issue? Pharmacy prices for brand prescriptions in the US increased by almost 60% from 2012 to 2017, according to analysis by research firm IQVIA. While many Americans are shielded from those prices by health insurance plans that cover parts of the cost, experiences vary widely, which has prompted widespread public dissatisfaction. Last year, Mr Trump proposed allowing certain government programmes to pay for some medicines based in part on their cost outside of the US. Other lawmakers have focused on easing approval of rival drugs, looking at the patent system, or allowing imports from other countries. \"All of you that are here today are here because the way you've been doing business is unacceptable,\" Senator Ron Wyden, Democrat of Oregon said, accusing them of \"profiteering and two-faced scheming\". What did executives say? Tuesday's Senate Finance Committee hearing saw seven top drug makers - AbbVie, AstraZeneca, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Johnson & Johnson, Merck & Co, Pfizer and Sanofi - testify . They defended their pricing, arguing that after discounts and rebates, the payments they receive for medicines in the US have in many cases declined in recent years. But they conceded that the overall system has problems and pledged to support efforts by Congress to act. \"No one in the system can do it by themselves,\" said Pascal Soriot, chief executive of AstraZeneca. \"The government has to step up and change the rules.\" Mr Trump's proposal is widely opposed by the industry. Instead, executives urged Congress to focus its efforts on simplifying the price negotiation system and regulating companies that engage in \"price-gouging\". Mr Bourla, whose products include Advil, Viagra and Lipitor, also said the US should look outside its borders. \"The administration should try for trade agreements to protect American innovation,\" he said. \"These price control mechanisms of multiple well-developed countries is in reality a free-riding on American innovation.\" Prices in Europe are generally lower, thanks to a combination of government intervention and increased competition from certain kinds of drugs, known as biologics. Analysts have said they do not think US customers would benefit from higher prices elsewhere.",

The answer seems obvious - the iPhone arrived, and Blackberry was too slow to see what its impact would be. Mike Lazaridis was then co-CEO of Research in Motion - a slightly unlikely corporate set-up which worked very well for many years - and was asked in 2007 about the threat from Apple's phone: \"How much presence does Apple have in business? It's vanishingly small,\" was his reaction, and he was dismissive of the idea that anyone would want a phone without a keyboard. But he was far from alone in his complacency - there are plenty of quotes from Microsoft and Nokia executives who also failed to grasp the extent to which their world had changed. And those far-sighted Wall Street analysts also did not spot the impending apocalypse. After all, the peak in the shares came in the summer of 2008, 18 months after Steve Jobs unveiled the iPhone. Even late in 2010, you can find references to a few analysts predicting an upturn, as Blackberry prepared to launch its tablet, the Playbook. Back then, with the \"crackberry\" still by far the favourite tool of corporate road warriors from New York to New Delhi, the company and its supporters could have been forgiven for being fairly relaxed. After all, iPhones and Androids might be catching the eye of flighty consumers, but businesses were not going to change from their secure and reliable if slightly dull Blackberries in a hurry. But there was another revolution sweeping through the corporate world, with a rather unlikely battle-cry, BYOD - Bring Your Own Device. The IT managers in companies had been used to dictating to their staff exactly which computers and mobile phones they would use - and how they would use them. But people who had grown used to a more exciting mobile internet experience than a locked-down Blackberry with no apps could provide. They demanded change and choice - and the corporate IT managers were forced to submit. Blackberry began to see its grip loosened in the law firms, the government offices and even the Wall Street banks where it once reigned supreme. Yes, there was a brief period when it was the phone of choice amongst young Britons, but that was never going to be a profitable business. It is easy with hindsight to see where things went wrong, much harder to say what Blackberry could have done about it. After all, Blackberry's customers loved its products and most were adamant that they wanted a physical keyboard, not some flaky touch screen device. Antagonising your existing market and going off in search of different customers would always have been a very risky strategy. Research in Motion was one of the world's most innovative companies, its research driven by Mike Lazaridis, a man who has invested large sums of his own money in blue-skies research into theoretical physics. The Blackberry was the first device to make the internet - or at least email - truly mobile. But that was in a world where employers decided the direction of the technology we use - now a workers' revolution has changed all that. From now on, we will decide the shape of the tools that are essential to our lives, at home and in the office. The Blackberry story is entering its final chapter - at least as a public company. The $4.7bn planned sale to its biggest shareholder means the conclusion to this sorry tale is likely to take place in private, far from the relentless gaze of the Wall Street analysts.",

Cardiff hosts the competition in July with 500 players from 50 countries. The successful bid was led by actor Michael Sheen who Dee, from Newport, now counts as one of her friends. \"If you'd told me when I was in prison that I'd be on TV talking about representing my country and being friends with Michael Sheen I would have said 'in your dreams',\" she said. \"Scoring a goal felt absolutely amazing... it was immense, I just can't explain it… the feeling inside it just felt… yeah… I've done it, I've achieved it, I've scored a goal for my country, I've represented my country.\" Organisers want to use the competition in Cardiff to create a \"lasting legacy\" and create opportunities for people affected by homelessness. Dee's life story wouldn't be out of place in the pages of a book. Abused as a child, she was addicted to heroin at 19. Resorting to fraud to fund her habit, by 21 she was in prison. When she was released from prison after serving a second sentence, she had nowhere to go. Dee was homeless for four years, spending time sleeping rough on the streets of Newport or sofa surfing. But things began to change when friends at a hostel encouraged her to join Street Football Wales.

They said, 'just come and have a go'.\" Dee had been drinking and was still using drugs when she went to the first training sessions. But that changed as her confidence grew. \"When I first started the football, the first tournament I ever went to I was half-cut, I was using. \"I came to the tournament, played the games and, over time, I started reducing everything.\" And then she was picked to play for Wales in the Homeless World Cup. \"When I got scouted for Wales that was it for me, I felt like I had to make a difference. \"I couldn't be representing my country and not turning my life around at the same time. \"I couldn't go to Oslo and be that person representing Wales in the Homeless World Cup still using or being in a bad place. \"It helped me start achieving and believing in myself.\" Dee's goal in Oslo was cheered on by Sheen. Sheen said: \"Having spent some time with Dee, heard a bit about what she had been struggling with in the past, what she was struggling with at that very moment, and to see the effect of scoring a goal, the look on her face, the joy, the self-confidence, the motivation that brought was incredible. \"To watch someone who has travelled out of Wales for the first time in their life, put that jersey on… it doesn't matter if you're Gareth Bale or someone who's living in a tent on Queen Street, you put the jersey on to represent your country and that changes you.\" Keri Harris founded Street Football Wales in 2003 and, 16 years on, 30 teams of men and women who've experienced homelessness are regularly playing football across Wales. He has taken a Wales side to every Homeless World Cup and he said holding the competition in Cardiff was going \"to be mind-blowing for everyone involved\". 'Clean and sober' \"For us to have a tournament at home after 16 years of attending the tournament is going to be absolutely fantastic,\" he said. \"It's going to change perceptions of people coming and watching the tournament, it's going to be an amazing experience for everyone, playing in front of a home crowd [and] in front of a Welsh crowd is going to be insane.\" Dee's life is now very different. She's clean and sober and she's moved into a flat of her own.

Plant expert Richard Lansdown said: \"We wouldn't normally reintroduce but Inglestone is down to a single plant.\" The species, more commonly known as the Badgeworth buttercup, relies on bare, wet ground that has been churned up by cattle to set seed and thrive.

Meanwhile, a UK study found the chance of womb rupture was reduced when mothers had an elective repeat section. But risks are low for both natural birth and Caesareans, say experts. A woman should discuss their individual options with their midwife or obstetrician, said the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists. Women who have had a C-section face a dilemma in their next pregnancy about whether to try for a vaginal birth, or to have a repeat section. The current UK guidelines state that women should be able to choose after discussing the issue with their doctor. Two papers published in the journalPLoS Medicinefollowed the health outcomes of pregnant women and their babies after a previous C-section. The UK research is the first to compile national data about the risk of womb rupture - a serious complication of pregnancy, which can cause severe blood loss in the mother and put the baby at risk. The team from the National Perinatal Epidemiology Unit at Oxford University identified 159 cases of womb rupture between April 2009 and April 2010, with the vast majority of cases - 139 - in women who had already had a Caesarean. In women who had a previous C-section, the risk of the womb rupturing during labour was seven times higher if they tried for a natural labour, compared with a planned C-section. The risk of the baby dying was three times higher. However, the overall risk was low - 2 in 10,000 of every UK pregnancies. Dr Marian Knight of the National Perinatal Epidemiology Unit told the BBC: \"This does give a true idea of the risk [of womb rupture] for the first time [in the UK] - in fact it's lower than what we've been estimating before. \"The important thing to remember is the absolute risks - seven times a small risk is still a small risk.\" A second study followed more than 2,000 pregnant women planning their second delivery after a previous Caesarean section at 14 hospitals in Australia. Researchers from the Australian Research Centre for Health of Women and Babies found that women who had a planned Caesarean section experienced less severe bleeding than women who gave birth naturally. There was also a reduced risk of the baby dying in the womb in the Caesarean group. The experts calculated that one baby death - or near death - would be prevented for every 66 planned repeat Caesarean sections. They concluded: \"Among women with one prior Caesarean, planned elective repeat Caesarean compared with planned vaginal birth after Caesarean was associated with a lower risk of foetal and infant death or serious infant outcome.\" Major surgery Commenting on the studies, Dr Virginia Beckett, spokesperson for the UK's Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG), said: \"Choosing a vaginal birth or a Caesarean section carries different risks and benefits but overall either choice is safe with only very small risks. \"It is important that women discuss all the options for their individual case with their midwife or obstetrician. \"Despite there being a slightly higher risk of rupture following a previous Caesarean, the procedure itself carries risks such as risk of blood clots, longer recovery period and the potential need for elective Caesarean in future pregnancies.\" Sue Macdonald, the Royal College of Midwives' education and research manager, said: \"The information from the study will add to the evidence base and knowledge for midwives and obstetricians and allow them to be able to discuss with women their options for birth after a Caesarean section and whether a normal birth would be possible.\"",

A petition on the Parliament website calling for council tax to be scrapped during the duration of the crisis has attracted almost 100,000 signatures. Blanket deferrals or non-payment would reduce cash for the frontline response to the crisis, larger councils said. Deferred payments The County Councils Network, which represents 36 of England's county-level local authorities, said it \"recognised and understood the motivation behind these schemes...for the most vulnerable and those in the greatest need\". \"However, a blanket deferral or non-payment scheme offered across the board could create significant additional financial challenges for local government, reducing cashflow for vital services such as social care which are at the frontline in responding to coronavirus\", the network's chairman, Councillor David Williams, said. Annual bills are usually paid in 10 instalments over 12 months, from April to January. Under plans being drawn up by some town halls, residents will be able to defer their first payment until July. Councils offering a deferred payment include Manchester, Oldham, Stockport, Rochdale, Tameside, Trafford, Swindon and Wiltshire. Not all councils are prepared to offer a deferred payment. Bristol Mayor Marvin Rees said it was important to maintain Bristol City Council's finances during the crisis. He said the authority was the only one out of the UK's core cities to retain a 100% council tax reduction scheme. Most large councils were already due to raise their bills by the full amount allowed before the pandemic struck. Hardship fund Some councils said they would make use of a £500m hardship fund given by government to local authorities in England to help vulnerable people in their areas. Leeds and Worcester city councils said those already in receipt of working age council tax support can receive a one-off reduction of up to £150 this year. Chelmsford City Council said if people were unable to pay council tax due on 8 April, they should contact banks directly to stop the payment. Councillor Stephen Robinson, its leader, said: \"It is not possible to apply a deferral across the board. \"The vast majority of council tax is used to pay police officers and staff, firefighters, care home workers, home care providers, education support workers, and other staff who keep us all safe. \"Applying relief across the board would make it impossible to keep public services going.\" Councillor Richard Watts, from the Local Government Association, said: \"We are pleased that councils will now be able to provide much-needed support to many households on the lowest incomes by quickly reducing or removing the need for them to pay council tax.\" Reporting team: Alex Homer, Daniel Wainwright, the Local Democracy Reporting Service",

Scotland has voted to stay in the United Kingdom. All 32 council areas have declared - the \"No\" side finished with 2,001,926 votes to 1,617,989. Scotland rejected independence by 55% to 45%. Clackmannanshire was the first at 01:30. Since then, Orkney, Shetland, the Western Isles, Inverclyde, Renfrewshire, Midlothian, East Lothian, Stirling, Falkirk, Angus, Dumfries & Galloway, East Renfrewshire, Aberdeen, East Dunbartonshire, South Lanarkshire, Perth & Kinross, West Lothian, Scottish Borders, North Ayrshire, South Ayrshire, East Ayrshire, Aberdeenshire, Edinburgh, Argyll & Bute, Fife and Moray and Highland, have, in that order, all voted \"No\" to independence. The Fife result, at 06:08, meant that Scotland had officially rejected independence. The largest of the local authority areas, Glasgow, voted \"Yes\". Dundee, West Dunbartonshire and North Lanarkshire also voted in favour of independence. How many people voted? In total, 3,619,915 million people voted, making the turnout 84.5%. Turnout varied from area to area. In East Dunbartonshire, 91% of eligible voters cast a vote. The turnout in Glasgow was 75%, lower than elsewhere. The turnout is a record high for a nationwide vote in Scotland - topping the 81% recorded at the 1951 general election. However 4,283,392 people - 97% of the electorate - had registered to vote. How close was the vote? See more of the result in maps. In quotes Scottish First Minister Alex Salmond said he accepted the verdict and called on Scotland to \"accept the democratic verdict of the people of Scotland\". He said the referendum process had reflected \"enormous credit upon Scotland\". \"We shall go forward as one nation,\" he said. He also called on the main unionist parties to make good on their promises of greater powers being devolved to the Scottish Parliament. Mr Darling said it was a \"momentous\" result for Scotland and the United kingdom as a whole. \"By confirming our place within the Union, we have reaffirmed all that we have in common and the bonds that tie us together. Let them never be broken,\" he said. Scotland had \"chosen unity over division\" and \"the silent have spoken,\" he said. Prime Minister David Cameron said: \"The people of Scotland have spoken and it is a clear result. They have kept our country of four nations together and like millions of other people I am delighted.\" He said it was time for the UK \"to come together and move forward\" with a \"balanced settlement\" which is fair to Scotland and elsewhere in the UK. Deputy First Minister Nicola Sturgeon told the BBC the projected result was \"a deep personal and political disappointment\" but argued that \"the country has been changed forever\". Former Socialist MSP Tommy Sheridan, who has been campaigning for a \"Yes\" vote, told BBC Scotland: \"I am feeling almost broken-hearted.\" What happens next? Mr Cameron said the referendum was a chance to change the UK \"for the better\" and promised to give Scotland more powers in the next Parliament. In a statement outside Downing Street, he said Lord Smith of Kelvin, chairman of the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games, is to oversee the process of further devolution. Draft laws on new powers will be published by January. Mr Cameron said a new and fair settlement had to apply to all parts of the UK. He said he had long believed that a crucial missing part was England. The PM also promised a resolution to the \"West Lothian question\" which allows Scottish MPs to vote on English issues. The Leader of the Commons William Hague has been asked to draw up plans for what would be a fundamental change at Westminster - if only English MPs could vote on English matters.

Exposure to asbestos dust can cause a deadly cancer called mesothelioma. Scotland currently has the highest global incidence of the condition, with 175 cases diagnosed in 2014, according to the University of Glasgow. Laura Blane, a partner with Thompsons Solicitors, said the firm was dealing with about 200 cases of people who have been exposed in hospitals, schools, leisure centres, council headquarters and other public buildings. She said: \"It is no exaggeration to say that this is an enormous ticking time bomb and I am seeing increasing numbers of cases. \"We all know that our local councillors have busy in-trays but I would say to them that this is now something that touches every community in the country. It's a problem that must be tackled with the upmost urgency.\" Victims of asbestos and their families have called on all parties in the upcoming council elections to acknowledge what they say is \"one of the biggest health scandals facing Scotland\". Iain Naylor's wife, Sandra, developed mesothelioma which she believed was due to exposure to asbestos dust when she was a pupil at Caldervale High School in Airdrie in the 1970s. She died in 2014 at the age of 52. Mr Naylor is now leading calls for all prospective councillors to make the issue a priority. He said: \"We were so upset at the diagnosis because we couldn't understand how she was exposed. Sandra didn't work in heavy industries or anything like that. \"I lost my wife because she was a pupil in a school full of asbestos. How could that happen? How many others have been affected?\" 'Unacceptable risk' Robin Howie, a consultant on asbestos, said hundreds of public buildings could have \"significant asbestos content\". \"Routine maintenance and general dilapidation of those buildings causes a release of asbestos fibres into the air,\" he said. \"Unless stringent asbestos fibre limits of less than 100 fibres per cubic meter are introduced and enforced in our schools and public buildings then our children will continue to be exposed to an unacceptable level of risk. The threat cannot be overstated.\" The current HSE approved level of asbestos fibre is 10,000 fibres per cubic metre. Annette Smith, of Scotland's biggest asbestos charity Clydeside Action on Asbestos, backed Mr Naylor's initiative. She added: \"It's very brave of Iain to come out and comment on this. This not a party political issue but it is an issue where we really need the help of our local politicians. \"The is one of the biggest health challenges facing our country in the coming years and we can't win this fight without the backing of our councillors. \"I would say to all political parties please look at this issue as a matter of priority, meet with us and the families and let's make sure that all public buildings whether its schools, hospitals or local authority buildings are safe for everyone.\"",

In the ensuing years there has been a Libyan rendition of the TV series Game of Thrones, all about violent power struggles, involving competing militias, rival governments and, increasingly, foreign players. In the capital these days the distant thud of battle punctuates the rumble of the traffic, but the streets are busy. This is a city fuelled by oil, coffee and resilience. The latest round of battle began in April when a renegade commander, General Khalifa Haftar, led forces from his power base in eastern Libya to make an assault on Tripoli in the west. He heads the self-styled Libyan National Army, and already controls most of the country. But six months on, Tripoli still eludes the moustachioed military strongman, who is backed by the Tobruk-based government. He is stuck on the southern outskirts of the city. 'Casually tossing a grenade' Gen Haftar has been held off by an array of militias - which often fight each other - now fighting under the banner of Libya's Government of National Accord (GNA). It is backed by the UN, but its writ barely runs inside Tripoli, much less outside it. It is struggling to keep the lights on and the water running, even in the capital. During a recent visit to Libya we travelled by pick-up truck through battle-scarred suburbs to reach the lines of the frontline. There had been little movement since our last trip in April. At moments it felt like 2011 once again, with young volunteers in flip-flops risking death from the enemy - and themselves. One fighter casually tossed his rocket-propelled grenade into the front seat of a truck - after he had tried and failed to fire it. Yearning for peace The commander, Salem Bin Ismail, a slight, softly-spoken figure in a camouflage T-shirt, pointed down a deserted road to Gen Haftar's forces, just 500m (1,650ft) away. For this veteran of the Nato-backed uprising against Gaddafi, the current conflict is about preventing a return to authoritarian rule in Libya. \"We have had chaos since 2011. I hope this is the last of the wars. We fought against Gaddafi to get rid of military control. Circumstances led us to fight again,\" he said. \"We want ballot boxes and elections and civilian rule. We believe in democracy,\" he added. Gen Haftar: A man of many wars Profile: Khalifa Haftar For many who defend Tripoli it is more a case of opposing Gen Haftar than backing the GNA - and there are plenty in the capital who support neither. But Gen Haftar has powerful friends abroad, including Egypt, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Russia. Increasingly the battle for Tripoli is another proxy war in the Middle East. Parallels with Syria \"This conflict is largely sustained by the foreign powers backing Haftar,\" said Emad Badi, a Libyan non-resident scholar at the US-based Middle East Institute. \"People give Haftar too much credit. He has become a conduit for foreign powers. I think that the decisions are beyond him,\" he added. The GNA too has foreign supporters - Turkey and Qatar - but the big guns are on the other side. \"Numerically the number of states that are supportive or leaning towards Haftar are a lot more, and have a lot more political capital than Turkey and Qatar,\" said Mr Badi. He believes that even if Gen Haftar manages to enter Tripoli he will not be able to get control of the city, and the battle may drag on, like other long-running wars in the region. \"If you look at Syria and Yemen, some of the same powers are involved,\" said Mr Badi. 'Burying young people daily' As foreign players stoke the conflict, Tripoli counts the cost. The World Health Organization (WHO) says that since April, at least 1,000 people have been killed, including around 100 civilians, and 120,000 displaced. \"Every day we are burying young people who should be helping us build Libya,\" said Fathi Bashagha, the GNA's interior minister. He accused the international community, including the UK, of failing to support the country since 2011. \"They did not complete the project. They wanted to remove Muammar Gaddafi but they should have supported us to rebuild a country, and to rebuild the army. Instead they left us.\" The minister said that with the government focused on the defence of Tripoli, the militant Islamic State (IS) group and al-Qaeda can take advantage of the vacuum. \"They will use this chance. They can grow now in the desert, and they can move, and nobody can stop them,\" said Mr Bashagha. And he warned of another danger - that Libya will descend into all-out civil war if the conflict continues. 'Existential threat' There have been warnings too from German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who said recently that Libya is starting to resemble Syria. She is pushing for an international peace conference before the end of the year. \"It's imperative we do everything we can to make sure this does not escalate into a proxy war,\" she said. Reports of Russian mercenaries, Egyptian military advisers, and Emirati drones in Libya all indicate it may be too late for that. You may also be interested in: The former UK ambassador to Libya, Peter Millett, expects the German conference to take place, but says progress on the ground is probably a long way off. \"Haftar can't and won't win, but Egypt and the Emiratis can't afford to lose. The Egyptians want to control their Western neighbour, and they don't want terrorism on their border. For them it's existential,\" he said. \"For the Emiratis it's more about ideology. They think they can play a big role in Libya as they have in Yemen,\" he added. In the end though, Mr Millett believes the current stalemate will result in a \"raggedy ceasefire\", and exhaustion will lead to back-channel negotiations and some sort of political deal. \"There will have to be a carve up, and a sharing of oil resources. It will have to be clear that the people and the tribes of eastern Libya will benefit from the money.\" He is encouraged by the fact that the UN special envoy for Libya, Ghassan Salamé - a seasoned negotiator - has remained in his post. \"If anyone can pull a rabbit out of a hat he can, said Mr Millett, \"but it won't be a good-looking rabbit\".",

But he said the measures were \"working slowly\" and rejected calls for the pace of cuts to be slowed or accelerated. Labour say the downgrade is a \"humiliation\" for the coalition and ministers must change course. Ratings agency Moody's cut the UK's top rate to Aa1 on Friday. The agency, which was the first to downgrade the country's rating since 1978, said expectations were that growth would \"remain sluggish\" over the next few years and the government's debt reduction programme faced significant \"challenges\". Asked about the downgrade, Mr Cable likened credit ratings agencies to \"tipsters\" and part of the \"background noise we have to take into account\", suggesting they had a \"pretty bad record\" on economic and corporate forecasting. He said the US and France had both survived similar cuts to their ratings in the past. \"It is largely symbolic,\" he told the BBC's Andrew Marr programme. \"In terms of the real economy, there is no reason why the downgrade should have any impact...These things do not necessarily affect the real economy but they do reflect the fact that we are going through a very difficult time.\" 'Last chance saloon' Mr Cable said efforts to reduce the deficit while also boosting growth were working, but there were \"a lot of pressures in the opposite direction\" which meant it the recovery was taking longer than anticipated. The government would maintain its current course, he added, rejecting calls for more extensive cuts as \"utterly counter-productive\" and labelling calls for an alternative Plan B in which the deficit reduction strategy was fundamentally overhauled as \"a bit juvenile\". \"What I am concentrating on in my job in government is factors that create real substantial long term growth. In other words skills training, supporting manufacturing, supporting exports, investing in science. These are the things that really matter.\" \"There are some positive things happening,\" he added - with the rate of employment, export growth and business start-ups all rising. Amid suggestions that sterling could be heavily sold when financial markets open on Monday, Conservative MP Kwasi Kwarteng warned against a \"kneejerk reaction\" and said the downgrade should have already been \"priced into\" foreign exchange calculations. Mr Kwarteng told the BBC that he would like to see more done to generate growth, including further cuts to corporation tax, but the government had \"generally the right approach\" on the economy and Mr Osborne should stay as chancellor. However fellow Tory, Adam Afriyie, suggested the party could lose the next election unless it took decisive action, starting in next month's Budget. Writing in the Mail on Sunday, the MP - touted by some as a future leadership candidate - said the coalition \"is about to enter the last chance saloon\" and must consider a radical programme of tax cuts, including phasing out employers' national insurance contributions. \"How do we view the people who follow their dreams, build businesses, create products, employ people and, yes, make money? In general, not very well at all. We devalue their contribution, sneer at them and spend our time looking for ways to make life even harder. \"This has to stop. If we're to achieve sustainable growth we need to stop beating up the only people who can solve our economic problems.\" 'Change course' Labour said people's living standards would continue to be squeezed and the deficit would continue to rise until Mr Osborne changed direction and increased investment on job creation, infrastructure and industry. \"How many more signs does he (George Osborne) need before he realises their economic plan is failing and is making things worse and he needs to change course,\" its deputy leader Harriet Harman told the Andrew Marr programme. The UK is at risk of slipping back into recession for the third time since 2008. The economy grew in the third quarter of last year, boosted by the impact of the Olympics, but shrunk again by 0.3% in the last three months of 2012 and would enter a triple dip recession if it contracted in the first quarter of 2013. Germany and Canada are the only major economies to currently have a top AAA rating, as much of the world has been shaken by the financial crisis of 2008 and its subsequent debt crises.",

Separately, Ms Cooper warned there was a \"serious risk the party will split\" if the left-winger becomes its leader. It comes as Labour begins sending out the first ballot papers to voters. The result of the contest will be announced at a special conference on 12 September. More than 600,000 people have signed up to vote in the four-way contest but Labour has said applications are still being verified.

'Serious party' Mr Corbyn is due to unveil a 10-point policy plan while in Glasgow later. The popularity of the left-wing Islington North MP, who is promising \"a new kind of politics\", has sparked a row about the future direction of the Labour party. Another leadership contender, Andy Burnham, told the BBC Mr Corbyn's policies \"lack credibility\". \"It's not possible to promise free university education, re-nationalising the utilities, without that coming at a great cost and if you can't explain how that is going to be paid for then I don't think we'll win back the trust of voters on the economy,\" he said. BBC political correspondent Ross Hawkins said there had been \"frustration\" in rival camps who accused Mr Burnham of being reluctant to take on Mr Corbyn. This appeared to be his most direct attack yet, he added. But in an interview with Jeremy Vine on BBC Radio 2, Mr Burnham declined to follow Ms Kendall and Ms Cooper and advise his supporters not to back Mr Corbyn with their second and third preferences. He added: \"People will say if they hear things like that, 'hang on, what do you believe?'\" In an interview with The Independent, Ms Kendall called for voters to mark Ms Cooper or Mr Burnham as second and third preferences, and avoid giving votes to Mr Corbyn. \"I have set out very clearly where I differ with all the candidates but our differences with Jeremy's kind of politics are far greater,\" said Ms Kendall. Speaking on BBC Radio 4's Today programme she said she \"can't pretend to be agnostic\" about a victory for Mr Corbyn, saying of the voting process: \"It is an alternative vote system and I want to urge party members to use all of their different preferences. \"I will be using my second and third preferences and I would urge others to do the same because I don't want to see our party go back to the politics of the '80s, just being a party of protest.\" The Leicester West MP also said she did not see the party splitting, as it did in the 1980s when Labour members formed the Social Democratic Party. However, Ms Cooper told BBC 2's Newsnight: \"I think there is a serious risk that the party will split, will polarise and I cannot bear to see that happen because there is too much at stake.\" Asked in an interview with grassroots Labour website Labourlist whether voters should use their votes to try to prevent Mr Corbyn winning, she said: \"I think people should use all of their preferences. \"And I think the focus has to be how do we make sure we can win that election, and that's the most important thing - and I don't think Jeremy can do that.\" 'New politics' Mr Corbyn has warned against \"personal abuse\" in the campaign, saying he wants to focus on policy. His policy programme includes a commitment to \"growth not austerity\", nationalising the railways and energy sector, and a plan for nuclear disarmament. In an essay for the Fabian Society he also suggested Labour's new increased following should be more involved in the party and proposed a review of membership fees to make the party more \"inclusive\". Former Prime Minister Gordon Brown is expected to join the debate over the leadership contest with a speech on Sunday, called \"power for a purpose - the future of the Labour Party\". Lance Price, former director of communications for Labour, told the BBC the contest had been an \"unedifying mess\" and had \"done nothing to reengage the labour party with those millions of people who deserted it\". The Guardian newspaper has endorsed Ms Cooper for the leadership while the Daily Mirror has given its backing to Mr Burnham, although the paper urged him to \"find a role\" in his team for Mr Corbyn, who it says has \"lit up the election campaign\".",

Sunday's crash, shortly after take-off from Addis Ababa, killed 157 people from 35 nations. It was the second crash involving a 737 Max in six months. Some people have pointed to similarities between the incidents, with some experts citing satellite data and evidence from the crash scene as showing links between Sunday's disaster and October's crash in Indonesia of the Lion Air jet that killed 189 people. US Representative Rick Larsen said the software upgrade would take a few weeks to complete, and installing it on all the aircraft would take \"at least through April\". The FAA said on Wednesday that a software fix for the 737 Max that Boeing had been working on since the Lion Air crash would take months to complete. Meanwhile, investigators in France have taken charge of the crashed Ethiopian Airlines aircraft's black boxes as they attempt to uncover what caused the Boeing 737 Max disaster. The Bureau of Enquiry and Analysis for Civil Aviation Safety (BEA) received the flight data and cockpit voice recorders on Thursday. The first readings could take days, but a lot depends on the boxes' condition. Regulators across the world continue to ground the Boeing aircraft. On Thursday, Russia, Japan and Tunisia banned the jet from their airspace. Late on Wednesday, the FAA told the country's airlines to ground their fleets, but was criticised for not doing it sooner. Possible similarities between the accidents, focussing on the aircraft's anti-stall system, have shocked the aviation industry and raised questions over Boeing's, and the FAA's, insistence earlier this week the the Max 737 was safe to fly. In addition to Max aircraft in service, about another 5,000 are on order from airlines. Garuda Indonesia said there was a possibility it would cancel its 20-strong order for Max jets, depending on what the FAA does. A BEA spokesman said he did not know what condition the black boxes were in. \"First we will try to read the data,\" the spokesman said, adding that the first analyses could take between half a day and several days. There have been reports, including by Reuters, that there was a tussle over which safety authority would take the lead in examining the black boxes. Reports said Germany was initially asked to conduct the analysis because Ethiopian Airlines had been unhappy at the way the Paris-based organisation had investigated a crash in Lebanon in 2010. Britain and the US both have highly-respected crash investigation agencies. Analysis: Theo Leggett, business correspondent: How long the analysis by the BEA will take depends on a number of things. First, the state of the recorders themselves. They are contained in very robust housings designed to withstand tremendous forces, and they are placed in the rear of the aircraft where they may be sheltered from the worst effects of an impact. Nevertheless, they can still be damaged, particularly by intense fire. The investigators will need to extract the memory modules, basically circuit boards covered with memory chips, and carry out any necessary repairs. The modules are designed so that information is spread across a series of chips. If one part is damaged, there should still be useable information elsewhere. Once downloaded, the data also has to be read. Surprisingly, it is not recorded in a standard form - so investigators will need to know how to make it useable. That will need input from the airline itself. If all goes well, the investigators will have access to thousands of pieces of data about the aircraft - not only what was going on on the fatal flight itself, but also on previous journeys. They will also be able to hear what was going on in the cockpit, what the pilots said to one another, and if any audible warnings were sounding. All of that should go a long way towards establishing the immediate causes of the accident - and finding out whether there really were common factors with the Lion Air crash.",

The researchers suggest the fish are already nearing \"edge of their temperature tolerance range\". However, they add that global warming will see other species replace them. The Scottish government said it was following scientific advice on how to support Scotland's fishing industry. Cod, herring and haddock are commercially important species to Scotland. The researchers at Sams, which is near Oban and part of the University of the Highlands and Islands, warn that climate change could lead to the fish moving away to colder waters further north. 'Sustainable fisheries' But over the forthcoming decades these species would \"gradually be replaced by more abundant communities\" of saithe, hake and whiting, the scientists said. They said that from 1985 to 2013 the population of saithe and hake had increased four-fold off Scotland's west coast. Sams research has been published in the journal Scientific Reports. The paper's lead author, marine ecologist Dr Natalia Serpetti, said: \"These results highlight the importance of considering environmental change, as well as fishing quotas, to achieve sustainable fisheries management at an ecosystem level. \"We initially tested the impact of current advised fishing quotas, along with predator/prey interactions, within the ecosystem. \"Cod, whiting and herring stocks, that historically showed declining trends due to high fisheries exploitation and predation, recovered under a sustainable fishery management. \"However, we subsequently tested the impact of rising temperature under Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) climate change scenarios, while keeping fishing rates consistent with current advised maximum sustainable yields, and found that there would be a collapse of cold water species stocks.\" 'Stocks collapse' She added: \"Our results showed that warmer climate could jeopardise sustainable fishery management: rising temperature showed strong negative impact on cold water species such as grey seals, cod, haddock and herring, which all declined by 2100 under the worst case climate warming scenario. \"Even under the best case climate change scenario, cod and herring stocks were predicted to collapse off Scotland's west coast.\" Dr Serpetti's research updated an existing marine model of the west coast of Scotland ecosystem, situated in the north-east Atlantic from the coastline to the edge of the continental shelf. Her model looked at how rising temperatures would affect 41 groups of species, from top predators such as whales and seals to many fish species and animals such as crabs and snails living on the sea floor. The research is part of the Marine Ecosystem Research Programme, funded by the Natural Environment Research Council and the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs. The Scottish government said it recognised that climate change was \"a major threat\" to Scotland's marine ecosystems and was following scientific advice to support a sustainable fishing industry. A spokesperson said: \"Scotland is recognised as being at the forefront of the global fight against climate change and continues to lead the UK in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. \"To continue this progress, our Climate Change Plan and Energy Strategy will include the bold new commitments for low-carbon transport, infrastructure and energy efficiency that we set out in the Programme for Government, policies aimed at driving down emissions by 66% by 2032.\"",

The theme of forgiveness has touched every one of his events during the first papal visit to the Republic of Ireland in 40 years: the quiet arrival, the sombre speeches and the modesty of it all. This theme reached its pinnacle at Sunday's Mass in Dublin's Phoenix Park. Standing under the Papal Cross erected especially for the event, nobody was ignoring the stark differences between 1979 and this weekend. Indeed, it is an important part of the narrative. Diarmuid Martin, the Archbishop of Dublin, opened the Mass comparing the two papal visits, stating that 39 years ago more than a million people gathered in the same place - but that Pope Francis was visiting a different Ireland. \"People have been wounded in the depth of their being by Church people; people's faith has been challenged,\" he said. Even numbers-wise it seems to be true, as some are reporting an unconfirmed crowd figure of approximately 130,000 souls at the Mass; the Vatican put the figure at close to 300,000. In an unexpected address during the service's penitential rite, Pope Francis asked several times for forgiveness. Intake of breath He asked forgiveness for the abuses in Ireland; abuses of power, sexual abuse, exploitation through manual work and for abuses perpetrated by men and women of the Church. The crowd stood still, heads glued to big screens or turned towards the altar itself. Even the rain seemed to hold its breath. There was, of course, no response to these prayers, but those on the ground gave one anyway: an intake of breath followed by a round of applause after each weighty sentence. A divided city In his opening, Archbishop Martin hoped for a \"spring\" into the Irish Catholic Church could emerge after a bleak winter. After all, huge crowds walked the length of Dublin city to be there. Following the Mass, pilgrims spoke of \"hitting the right tone\" and how humble and truthful the Pope had been over the weekend. But at the other side of the city, a smaller, yet significant crowd gathered protesting a history of clerical abuse. For them, forgiveness is not easily given. Outside the Garden of Remembrance, a sea of blue posters were raised saying simply: \"Truth, Justice, Love\". Then a reminder of the Church's misalignment with modern Ireland took to the altar. Saying prayers, a man with a \"Love Both\" hoodie - the campaign message against abortion laws. The unofficial message is a memento of how the Catholic Church still frowns upon Ireland's most recent popular vote. Well received, Pope Francis has completed a once-in-a-generation papal visit, his words of remorse welcome. Catholic Ireland might not be the same one Pope John Paul II left in 1979, but it treated the head of the Church with respect - even if it now holds the institution he leads at arm's length.",

'Downward pressures' China, the world's second-largest economy, has been trying to recover from a recent slump which has seen its growth rate slow for two quarters in a row. Its economy expanded by 7.5% in the April-to-June quarter from a year earlier - down from a growth rate of 7.7% in the previous three months. There have been concerns that its growth rate may slow further in the coming months, not least because of a slowdown in demand for Chinese exports from key markets such as the US and Europe. While there have been some indications in recent weeks that its growth may be on the mend, data released over the weekend triggered concerns over whether the recovery was sustainable. China's exports, a key driver of its growth, fell 0.3% in September from a year earlier, indicating that external demand continues to remain fragile. Zhou Hao, an economist with ANZ in Shanghai, said the weak export numbers show that \"the economy faces some downward pressures\". Meanwhile, imports rose a more-than-forecast 7.4% from a year ago.",

'Cautious consumers' The statement added: \"Further, the sales generated were mainly in lower margin clearance lines, which means that gross margin for the first half will be [about] 20 basis points lower than last year. \"Therefore, gross margin for the year is now more likely to be flat than the 10 basis points increase previously guided to.\" However, Debenhams said it believed that its second-half forecasts were \"robust\" and that sales would continue to grow as expected. \"Although the snow will have proved disruptive, the wider problem was that it gave already cautious consumers another excuse not to spend,\" said Matt Piner, research director at Conlumino. Mr Piner said there was \"very little consumer activity by historic standards\" in the second half of January because of the snow. \"This particularly impacted retailers like Debenhams, which rely on the buzz and excitement surrounding sales periods to generate much of their volumes.\" He added that retailers such as Debenhams had to strike a \"hard balance\". Promotional sales were a \"useful tactic\" to win back shoppers, but at the expense of undermining margins and eroding profitability.",

            "input": "Nancy Vaughan is a charming and lively conversationalist, a friendly host, and at nearly 90, still has much of the sparkle and attractiveness that must have turned many heads when she was in her heyday as a model in New York. But she also has trouble remembering her own name, or the fact that she is married (62 years and counting), or indeed, much of the time, some of the basics of the English language. Nancy is in the advanced stages of Alzheimer's. On a sunny late autumn day I visited Nancy and her husband, John, at their home in Phoenix, Arizona. We made friendly conversation in the kitchen and for moments I could have believed that she was mentally well. Her smile is still engaging, she is physically fit, and she can sometimes carry on brief exchanges. When I asked if she had any problems with her memory, she said an emphatic \"no\". But when John posed the question directly \"Nancy, what is your name?\" she looked a bit baffled. Asked for her surname, Nancy said \"Bread\", a little uncertainly. I wondered whether this might be her maiden name, but was told that was Johnson. Nancy and John's life has become surreal and stressful in many ways. John has taken to wearing a name tag with his name on it to help Nancy identify him. He has also stuck a copy of their wedding photo up in the kitchen so that, in her confused moments, he can prove to her that they are married. John cares for Nancy fulltime. They have no children, so there is no family help take the strain - and they are not in the financial position to have Nancy go into a care home. Aged 88, John is the full-time carer for someone with many of the same needs as an adult-sized toddler. John and Nancy are by no means exceptional. There is a slow-moving tsunami of dementia advancing towards us as our population ages. It's reckoned that one in eight Americans aged 65 and over has Alzheimer's - the most common cause of dementia. Nearly half of the over 85s has the disease. As medical science has become better and better at prolonging our lives, the mental side of things hasn't kept pace. Nowhere is this more in evidence than in Phoenix. For years Phoenix has been a mecca for America's elderly, who are attracted by the year-round sun and dry desert heat. Now increasingly it is a kind of capital of the forgetful and the confused. Not coincidentally, Phoenix is also pioneering the way dementia sufferers are cared for and treated. One of the top destinations for people in need of round-the-clock care is Beatitudes, a gated retirement complex, which has, tucked among its many buildings, a memory support annex. Most of the residents at Beatitudes have seriously impaired memories, to the point where they can no longer look after themselves, are quite often confused, and occasionally have delusions. It's not uncommon for a resident to imagine that they've seen a non-existent intruder, or to suppose that because they cannot find a purse or wallet, that someone has stolen it. Partly under the influence of a Bradford University-based psychologist, Tom Kitwood, Beatitudes' carers have a policy of not contradicting - and even playing along with - the delusions of the residents, avoiding confrontations, de-escalating conflicts, and \"redirecting\" the attention of those in distress, using distractions and pleasurable activities. Beatitudes staff use medication as little as possible. They try to be flexible and adapt to the quirks of the residents and the symptoms of their condition, letting them wander the corridors at night should they feel urge, letting them bathe, eat and sleep on their own schedule, and offering them snacks and chocolate at any time of the day or night. I spent the best part of two weeks at Beatitudes, observing their practices first-hand. One of the people I got to know was Gary Gilliam. A 69-year old, Gary had been a successful dentist in his younger years, as well as doing time in the army. He'd been at Beatitudes several months when I met him, and though his memory came and went, he spent much of his time under the misapprehension that he was still a practising dentist, stationed at a military base. Gary was genial and playful, constantly cracking jokes, and so it took me a while to realise quite how advanced his dementia was. He told me he'd been having some problems with his short-term memory but he had no idea he might be in any kind of care home. But rather than contradict him, the staff would gently go along with Gary's version of reality. Quite often, especially in the evening, Gary would imagine that his time on \"the base\" was up. He'd pack his bags and start looking for the exit. Staff would cajole him into staying another night, saying it was a little late now, it was dark out, better to leave it until morning. Or they might ask Gary to look at their teeth, at which point he would switch into dentist mode and forget his plan. Gary also had a habit of forgetting that he was married, despite the fact that his wife of nearly 30 years, Carla, was alive and well, and a frequent visitor. Being one of the few men on his unit, Gary's company was much in demand. He had two girlfriends, who enjoyed cuddling with Gary, though the exact extent of their intimacy wasn't clear. I had the chance to observe this rather odd love triangle - or \"love square\", if you include the second girlfriend - when I accompanied Carla on a visit. To my surprise, she suggested that Gary bring one of the girlfriends with him. She said this would make the visit run more smoothly - seeming to imply that Gary might prefer the company of his new friends over hers - but I was also struck that Carla was keen for me to see and understand the pain and the strangeness of loving someone with Alzheimer's. Perhaps the most extreme visit I observed during my time at Beatitudes took place between a young man called David Watson and his mother Gail. Though she wasn't very old, Gail's dementia had progressed very quickly. She was on the fourth floor of the Beatitudes memory support building, home to the most advanced cases. Gail could no longer speak at all, though she was physically well, and would wander the corridors often picking up objects and approaching people, endlessly repeating a sound that sounded like \"gulla\". David tried showing old photos to his mum. He tried stopping her on her perambulations for a hug. There wasn't much sign of recognition that I could see. David explained that his sisters no longer visited. \"Because this is hard,\" he said. But then, a moment later, David's mother leaned in and held his face in her hands. \"So that's why I come and visit,\" he said, visibly moved. \"Because sometimes that happens, and then that's good.\" Near the end of my stay in Phoenix, egged on by John, I volunteered to care for Nancy for half a day, hoping to give him some small respite but more importantly to have a small glimpse of what John goes through on a daily basis. I discharged my duties as carer with mixed results. We played ball in the kitchen and broke a glass. We started a walk and then abandoned it. Some of the time, she was baffled as to who I was and exactly what I was doing in the house. But along the way, we also managed to enjoy ourselves, listening to music, eating lunch together, looking at photos, and indeed chuckling together over the minor calamities that befell us. When John returned and relieved me of my position, I asked him how much of Nancy he thought was left. He answered in the spirit of the engineer he'd been, with an exact number. \"Thirty per cent,\" he said, and then he tapped his head, and said that the rest was still preserved safely in his memory. It was an oddly romantic moment. The ravages of dementia can be unbelievably upsetting to see. No one would wish the confusion and forgetfulness that goes along with the disease on another person - though sadly, for demographic reasons, they are likely to be an ever-increasing part of our lives. But my stay in Phoenix also taught me to be mindful of certain positives. However much is taken by dementia, something always remains. There can still be a person beyond their words and their memories, a spirit, for want of a better word, and a continuity with the person they were. Faced with the disease, and with the right support, most people can learn and adapt, finding new ways to love their parents and partners.",

Its report says children should get free supplements and calls for supermarkets to sell low-cost tablets. Deficiency can result in rickets and brittle bones. Action of sunlight NICE focused on groups most at risk of having low levels of the vitamin. The chief medical officer in England has already urged doctors to prescribe tablets to these populations, and similar advice has been issued in Northern Ireland, Wales and Scotland. But experts are concerned many are still not getting the Vitamin D they need. Official estimates suggest one in five adults and one in six children in England may have low levels. People get most of their vitamin D from the action of sunlight on their skin. But the amount in food is small, unlike many other vitamins. The low level of sunlight during winter months means people in the UK must rely on stores built up during the summer. Professor Mike Kelly, who was involved in producing the NICE guidelines, said: \"Around 10 million people in England may have low vitamin D status and so could be at risk of health problems - and they may not know it. \"People with darker skin are particularly at risk - during winter months nearly 75% of adults from Asian or African and Caribbean backgrounds may have low vitamin D levels.\" People at risk include: Free of charge The NICE report sets out a number of measures, including encouraging local authorities to provide tablets free of charge to children. The advisory body also urges manufacturers to ensure supplements are sold at the recommended dose - 10 micrograms a day for adults. And NICE recommends supermarkets stock low-cost vitamin D tablets and promote them to those at risk. Doctors and other health workers are encouraged to take every opportunity to discuss and record vitamin D intake with any patients who are at risk. Professor Susan Jebb, who was also involved in developing the guidance, said: \"It is really important health professionals are aware of the problem and that everyone understands that for those at risk of deficiency, a good diet alone will not solve the issue. \"People who are at risk can get supplements over-the-counter or speak to their GPs.\"",

            "input": "The Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse criticised political groups for not acting on complaints. It accused Lord Steel of an \"abdication of responsibility\" over accusations against the late MP Cyril Smith. Lord Steel said he was quitting because he wanted to avoid \"distress\" for his family and \"turmoil\" for his party. The former MP and MSP also said he was being made \"a proxy for Cyril Smith\", the former Rochdale MP who was investigated over allegations about the abuse of teenage boys in 1969. Lord Steel had told the inquiry that he was made aware of the allegations against Smith 10 years later and \"assumed\" they were true, but said they were \"nothing to do with me\" because they predated Smith's time in parliament. The Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse ( IICSA) report said that political institutions \"regularly put their own reputations or political interests before child protection\". It said Lord Steel was \"an example of a highly placed politician turning a blind eye to something that was potentially troublesome to his party, with no apparent regard for criminal acts which might have occurred or for any victims, past or future\". The inquiry heard that complaints about Smith abusing boys were investigated by the police in the 1960s, while he was serving as a Labour councillor, but no prosecution was brought. He was elected as a Liberal MP in 1972, and Lord Steel said he had discussed the allegations with him in 1979 after an article appeared in Private Eye. The peer told the inquiry that he \"assumed\" that Smith had committed the offences, but took no further action because \"it was before he was an MP, before he was even a member of my party - it had nothing to do with me\". The inquiry's report said that \"this failure to recognise the risk that Cyril Smith potentially posed to children was an abdication of responsibility by a political leader\". But the politician responded that \"at no point did Cyril Smith admit to me the truth of the allegations in the Private Eye report\", and said he was \"never a friend of mine\". 'Powerful report' He said: \"Nowhere do IICSA explain what powers I was supposed to possess to investigate 14-year-old allegations against someone who at the time of the actions alleged was not even a member of my party, that the police and successive prosecutors reviewed with access to all files.\" The former Holyrood presiding officer was suspended and investigated by the Lib Dems after his appearance before the inquiry in 2019, but was ultimately reinstated. The 81-year-old said he understood some in the party wanted him suspended again, while others had threatened to resign if he was subject to a new investigation. He said: \"I wish to avoid any such turmoil in my party and to prevent further distress to my family. I have therefore thanked my local party secretary for their stalwart support through the whole inquiry process, and have informed the local party that my resignation is with immediate effect.\" Scottish Lib Dem leader Willie Rennie said the \"powerful report\" had lessons for everyone, and that it was \"right that David Steel has decided to resign from the Liberal Democrats and retire from public life\". Who is Lord Steel? David Steel was first elected as MP for Roxburgh, Selkirk and Peebles in 1965, and represented the area at Westminster for more than 30 years. He became Liberal Party leader in 1976, aged 38, and was in post during the party's 1988 merger with the Social Democratic Party to form the Liberal Democrats. He retired from the Commons in 1997, and was made a life peer as Baron Steel of Aikwood. Lord Steel campaigned for Scottish devolution, and entered the newly formed Scottish Parliament as a Lib Dem member for the Lothians region in 1999. He subsequently became the first presiding officer of the parliament, before stepping down as an MSP in 2003.",

But business support organisation, the GO Group, said it had seen a sharp rise in start-up inquiries. And it reported a 7% rise in the number of inquiries converted into businesses. The Strathclyde University analysis, contained in The Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) 2009, showed the gap between business-forming activity in Scotland and comparable countries had widened significantly. And Scotland was also found to have a low perception of business opportunity, when set against other countries. But the GO Group, which runs the Business Gateway service in Glasgow and Ayrshire, said it had seen an 18% increase across Scotland in start-up inquiries between 2008/09 and 2009/10, with new enquiries increasing from 31,543 to 37,360. The number of inquiries converted into established businesses rose by almost 7% from 9,466 to 10,122 over the same period. Gordon Hunter, director of business development at the GO Group, said the picture painted about the decline of Scottish start-ups could not be further from the truth. \"The past year has certainly seen some changes, but individuals continue to be influenced by either the drive of economic necessity and/or the desire to be entrepreneurial,\" he said. \"As a result we've seen an increase in inquiries for business start-up advice this year and we've supported the creation of over 1,000 new businesses in Glasgow over the last year, which is broadly comparable with the figures from previous years.\"",

Lindane is still used in some developing countries. And it is an ingredient in some head lice and scabies treatments used in some countries, including China, India, the US and Canada. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) panel also concluded that another insecticide, called DDT, was \"probably carcinogenic to humans\". And it classified a herbicide called 2,4-D as possibly carcinogenic to humans. Most uses of DDT have been banned since the 1970s, but the IARC says exposure to DDT still occurs, mainly through diet. This is because DDT and its breakdown products are highly persistent and can be found in the environment and in animals. Since its introduction in 1945, 2,4-D has been widely used to control weeds in agriculture, forestry, and urban and residential settings. Occupational exposures to 2,4-D can occur during manufacturing and application, and the general population can be exposed through food, water, dust, or residential application, and during spraying, says the IARC. The Lancet Oncology journal has a summary of the full evaluation. Dr Kurt Straif, Head of the IARC said the evidence on lindane and cancer was largely based on studies among agricultural workers that showed a consistent, approximately 50% increase in risk, with higher risks in heavily exposed agricultural workers. \"This agricultural usage of Lindane has been severely restricted starting in the 1970s and current general population exposure is mainly through the diet or when treated for scabies or lice. There are currently no epidemiological studies to quantify the lymphoma risk from these exposures.\"",

Speaking to the Wake up to Money programme, he said: \"If I take the EU as a whole and compare the GDP of the EU to the GDP of the UK, you see there's a small portion which is the UK.\" He added: \"It's normal that the European 27 are less impacted themselves than the UK by this event which has been entirely decided upon by the UK - when all the 27 wanted the UK to stay.\" 'New world' The EU is the UK's biggest trading partner, accounting for nearly half of all exports in 2016, according to official figures. Brexit supporters argue new, lucrative trade deals can be made with fast-growing emerging markets.

He's now concerned about rising public and private debt levels around the world. \"We see financial leverage continuing at a pace which is not sustainable and we should, at the level of the international community, be much more aware of the fact this global financial leverage is dangerous and could be one of the causes - not the only one - of the next crisis.\" He added: \"If we had a new crisis nobody would forgive the international community for not having taken the appropriate steps to avoid it.\"",

But following the general election in December, there was a renewed focus on restoring the institutions. If no deal is reached by Monday 13 January, Northern Ireland Secretary Julian Smith may hold a fresh assembly election, in line with the law. Before Christmas, Mr Smith blamed the DUP for the inability to secure a deal. But the party said it was unfair to single it out and that gaps remained over proposals for reforming the assembly's controversial veto mechanism - the petition of concern - and support for an Irish language act. Why has devolution been suspended for so long? Since the DUP and Sinn Féin - the two parties in government in Northern Ireland at the time - split in January 2017 the Northern Ireland Assembly has been suspended and attempts to restore it have failed. Sinn Féin has said it would not go back into an executive with the DUP, unless legislation for an Irish language act was implemented. The language is seen as important to the wider nationalist community, and a small number of unionists, as a symbol of identity - but in turn, it has been vigorously resisted by unionist parties. In February 2018, it appeared a deal was about to be brokered - but it collapsed at the last moment. So what happens next? The parties are currently engaged in a fresh round of talks to try to break the deadlock, which began after the general election in December. Going into the talks, unlike in previous negotiations, there was more optimism about the chances of a deal. The DUP lost its influence at Westminster as the Conservatives won a majority in Parliament and, along with Sinn Féin, it saw its vote share drop in the general election. While they are still the biggest Stormont parties, neither will relish another election so soon. That being said, the negotiations are far from over and it is still a big ask to get the assembly restored soon. Calls for an Irish language act and reform of the petition of concern have remained sticking points. What is the petition of concern? The veto mechanism is understood to be the biggest stumbling block to a deal. The petition is aimed at ensuring legislation cannot pass without cross-community support, but has faced accusations of misuse in the past. DUP MP Sir Jeffrey Donaldson said his party favoured keeping it but reforming it. He said all parties \"agree it should be retained as an important safeguard\". The SDLP, Alliance, Sinn Féin and the Ulster Unionist Party have all said they are in favour of reform. But the issue remains exactly what sort of reform can be agreed by all of the parties. What is the issue with an Irish language act? Those in favour of Irish language legislation say that it is time the language is given official recognition, protection and promotion in Northern Ireland. On Sunday, Irish language group Conradh na Gaeilge described a meeting with Mr Smith as \"productive\" and that it got \"a fair hearing\". The campaign group said there was no \"legitimate justification for denying\" Irish language legislation. But the DUP opposes a stand-alone Irish language act. East Londonderry MP Gregory Campbell said the language \"has a perfectly acceptable place in Northern Ireland society\". Mr Campbell added: \"Where there is an unacceptable demand to elevate it above all other minority languages, whether it is Sinn Féin, other parties or HM government saying we will have to yield on this issue as it is preventing devolution returning, we will not do so.\"",

Supporters of the EAW say Britain risks becoming a \"safe haven\" for criminals without its extradition powers. But some Conservative MPs see it as a threat to the liberties of Britons and the sovereignty of the UK. The government opted out of all 133 justice measures in 2013 and wants to rejoin 35, including the EAW. It has until 1 December to decide which ones to continue to adhere to. Writing in the Sunday Times, Conservative backbencher David Davis said claims by Mrs May and senior judges that without the EAW Britain would become a safe haven for criminals were \"scaremongering\". He is among the MPs expected to vote against the government plans on Monday, but the measures are likely to pass with Labour and Liberal Democrat support. 'Practical measures' In an article in the Sunday Telegraph, Mrs May urged the Commons to give the authorities \"the powers they need to keep us safe\". In the past five years, she said, 5,000 people had been extradited from the UK under the EAW, including suspects wanted for 124 murders and 100 rapes. But Conservative MEP Daniel Hannan disagreed, telling the BBC's Sunday Politics: \"I know the security services want it, of course it makes life easier for them. \"But a state in which we automatically do what the police want is a police state and the role of politicians is to weigh the convenience of the police against the freedom of the subject.\" European Arrest Warrants Q&A: European Arrest Warrant Mr Hannan cited the case of five-year-old brain tumour patient Ashya King, whose parents were arrested in Spain after he was taken from hospital against medical advice, as an example of the \"disproportionate\" use of an EAW. Meanwhile, the chairs of three influential Parliamentary committees accused the government of a \"cavalier approach\" to the debate. The European Scrutiny, Justice and Home Affairs said Monday's vote had \"no direct relevance\" to the EAW and would not allow MPs to make any changes. The committees have previously called for an individual motion on each of the 35 measures, rather than one vote on the whole package. Home Affairs chairman Keith Vaz said: \"Members of the House are expecting a separate vote on whether or not to rejoin the European Arrest Warrant. \"Monday's debate, on an unamendable, take-it-or-leave-it package, will not give us that opportunity.\" Labour's shadow home secretary Yvette Cooper said Prime Minister David Cameron was \"running scared\" of a rebellion by not including the EAW in the package to be voted on. She said: \"We need the European Arrest Warrant and we should vote for it. All this tricky game playing means it's no wonder people don't trust David Cameron on Europe.\" In a letter to Mrs Cooper, Mrs May wrote: \"I shall be making very clear in the House on Monday - and am happy to do so now - that Monday's vote is a vote on the entire package of 35 measures.\" She said: \"The package includes the arrest warrant and other tools which are vitally important to our police and law enforcement agencies. \"It helps us to tackle cross-border crimes, deport foreign criminals, track down those who seek to evade the law, and bring them to justice. \"We are proud to bring it before Parliament on Monday as a package of measures which are in the national interest, but if Parliament rejects it, we will not join them. \"The government will be arguing loudly and clearly why it is so important that we do so.\"",

The Home Office says it will help combat terrorism, but critics have described it as a \"snoopers' charter\". Critics of the law have said hackers could get access to the records. \"It only takes one bad actor to go in there and get the entire database,\" said James Blessing, chairman of the Internet Service Providers' Association (Ispa), which represents BT, Sky, Virgin Media, TalkTalk and others. \"You can try every conceivable thing in the entire world to [protect it] but somebody will still outsmart you. \"Mistakes will happen. It's a question of when. Hopefully it's in tens or maybe a hundred years. But it might be next week.\" Scrambled data The Investigatory Powers Bill was approved by the House of Lords on 19 November and is due to become law before the end of 2016. Now, several virtual private network (VPN) operators have seized on its introduction to promote their offerings. VPNs digitally scramble a user's internet traffic and send it to one of their own servers before passing it on to a site or app in a form they can make sense of. A similar process happens in reverse, helping mask the person's online activity. As a result, instead of ISPs having a log of everywhere a customer has visited, the only thing they can provide to the authorities is the fact that a subscriber used a VPN. \"We saw a boom in Australia last year correlated to when its data retention law went into effect,\" Jodi Myers, a spokeswoman for NordVPN told the BBC. \"And we are already seeing an increase in inquiries from the UK.\" Ms Myers said her firm had just begun offering UK-based customers extra security measures - including encrypting their data twice and sending it via two servers - to address any concerns that its standard measures were not sufficient. \"Our biggest advantage is we have a zero log policy,\" she added. \"Our headquarters are in Panama, which doesn't have data retention laws, so it allows us to do this. \"And even in the worst-case scenario that our servers are confiscated, there would be nothing on them because of the way they are configured.\" Another VPN provider said the UK government would find it difficult to prevent the use of such workarounds. \"The legislation specifically mentions connection service providers and not just ISPs, and the assumption is that VPNs based in the UK will have to give up their logs under this law,\" said Caleb Chen, a spokesman for Private Internet Access. \"But as a US-based company, my legal team has advised me that we would not be under any obligation to do so. \"And even if the government were to try to take it a step further and say no UK citizen could use a VPN that was not compliant with the law, those services would still be available.\" He added that the widespread use of VPNs by businesses to provide staff with remote access to their email and other work-related files would also make it difficult to restrict the technology's use. Iceland option One of the UK's smaller internet providers, Andrews & Arnold, is looking into other ways to help its users circumvent the law. \"Customers can install a Tor browser, which encrypts traffic to one of thousands of different internet connections throughout the world hiding what they are doing,\" said managing director Adrian Kennard. \"We are also working with a company called Brass Horn, which is planning to sell Tor-only internet access. \"In addition, we may base some of our own services outside the UK to reduce the amount of information that is logged and recorded. One possible place that we might put equipment is Iceland.\" A spokeswoman for the Home Office declined to discuss ways it might tackle such efforts. \"The Investigatory Powers Bill provides law enforcement and the security and intelligence agencies with the powers they need to protect the UK and its citizens from terrorists and serious criminals, subject to strict safeguards and world-leading oversight,\" she said. \"Terrorists and serious criminals will always seek to avoid detection. \"To ensure they do not succeed, we do not comment publicly on the methods or capabilities available to the security and intelligence agencies.\"",

After the messages were brought to the attention of Ms Cooper's office, police interviewed Spencer and he told them the complaint was \"a political smear because of his politics and age\". He also said he could not remember sending the messages.

She has contributed her Austrian-issued Mauthausen birth certificate to a time capsule for the camp's museum. Ms Clarke, who still talks at schools in Wales on the Holocaust, said: \"It is something of a unique document.\" A three-day-old baby when the camp was liberated, she is attending the opening of new exhibitions to the memory of those murdered there. Her heavily-pregnant mother had arrived from Auschwitz, where she had spent three years. Ms Clarke said just seeing the name of the Mauthausen concentration camp struck such fear in her mother that she went in to labour there and then. Fortunately for both of them, the retreating Nazi had blown up the gas chambers the day before she was born. And on 5 May 1945 the Americans advancing through Austria liberated the camp that even the Germans had nicknamed \"the bone grinder\". That is how Eva Nathan as she was then came into the world against all the odds. Weighing just 3lb (1.5kg) she clung to life just as her mother, Anka, had clung to it despite her ordeal as a slave labourer. Incredibly, both women are still alive to tell the tale. Anka Clarke, now 96, remarried - her German-Jewish architect first husband was shot at Auschwitz a week before it was liberated by the Russians - and moved to the UK in 1948. Her new husband found work at Pontypridd in south Wales. Eva remembers arriving in Wales at the age of three where she enjoyed a childhood far away from the horrors that claimed 15 members of her family, from three grandparents to a seven-year-old cousin. To mark the anniversary of the camp's liberation, she has accepted an invitation from the Austrian government to return to her birthplace for the opening of two new exhibitions. She is taking with her the birth certificate issued by the authorities in the town of Mauthausen in 1948 proving she was born at the \"former concentration camp\" complex where an estimated 150,000 people were \"exterminated through labour\". She said: \"It is something of a unique document. \"My mother had such a shock when she arrived at the station that she went into labour almost immediately. \"She said it was the shock of seeing the name that put her into labour. \"When she arrived at Auschwitz, she had no idea what the place was. But she knew about Mauthausen early on and here she was at this appalling place. \"The Germans allowed a prisoner doctor to come to my mother and we assume they allowed it because they could hear the guns in the distance.\" Anka Clarke has described herself as a \"scarcely living pregnant skeleton\" at this point. But the camp's liberation meant both were to survive the ordeal and return to Anka's native Prague before relocating to Wales. 'Ancient and vast' Eva, who spoke only Czech when she arrived, said: \"I remember being taken around the school in Llandaff [in Cardiff] by the the headmistress. \"I remember thinking that she was ancient - she was probably about 40 - and she was vast - she was probably plump. \"And I do remember not understanding a word she said. My mother said I learnt very quickly. \"My mother lived in Cardiff until three years ago. I would go there regularly to visit her. \"I now go to south Wales more often then when she was living there as I speak in schools all over the country for the Holocaust Educational Trust.\"",

The percentage has risen from 11.3% in 2005 to 11.9% in 2014. Suffragette director Sarah Gavron, called the figures \"shocking and startling\". \"Film, of course, influences our culture, which is why it is vital to have diversity and more gender equality both in front of and behind the camera,\" she said. \"We need to work to shift this imbalance, and it seems the only way to do this is to be radical, rather than waiting for something to change.\" The society is calling for half of all publicly-funded films to be directed by women by 2020. They are calling for films to meet diversity criteria, which would include gender factors, before they receive government funding. They say their suggestion of a 50:50 split in public funding is something that has been achieved in other countries, such as Sweden. Beryl Richards, chairwoman of Directors UK, said it was unacceptable that \"this level of inequality continues to go unchecked - not least the film industry that plays such an influential role in our economy, our society and our culture\". \"With such comprehensive evidence we can now pinpoint and address the areas that need the most attention and focus on rectifying it.\" She said part of the blame must be in part a lack of a regulatory system to enforce gender equality. The report claimed a vicious cycle exists in the industry in which new female talent is discouraged by a lack of role models, which in turn leads to a smaller pool of next generation female directors. Figures show that while 50.1% of film students and 49.4% of new entrants to the industry are women, just 21.7% of publicly funded films had a female director in 2014 - a figure that has dropped from 32.9% in 2008. In January a study showed that just 9% of Hollywood's highest grossing films last year were directed by women, the same level as 1998.

I did a duet with him, Ami Oh, on a Manu Dibango album, and when you heard him sing it was magical that a guy who was that big had such an angelic voice. He was a generous soul when it came to helping people, and he didn't say much, but he observed a lot and when he spoke in that gentle voice everything he said was right on the spot. His whole attitude about dressing well was part of the narrative that we Africans have been denied our humanity for so long. People have always had stereotypes about us, and he was saying dressing well is not just a matter of money, not just something for Westerners, but that we Africans also have elegance. It was all about defining ourselves and refusing to be stripped of our humanity. Angelique Kidjo was speaking to the BBC's Newshour programme Manu Dibango Africa has lost another worthy son in the shape of Papa Wemba. It's a painful beginning to 2016. He was the voice of Africa. We are all orphans... May the heaven and the spirits welcome him in peace. Papa Wemba will remain forever in our hearts. Manu Dibango left this message on his Facebook page. Koffi Olomide It's a catastrophe. Congolese music has been decimated, it's been blown apart. I don't know what to say. I refused to believe it when the Ivory Coast government official told me. To be honest, from now on, life means nothing, we are nothing. Today, with God's forgiveness, I want to ask Him to accept Papa Wemba. He is His son. I don't know what to say. I want to give my condolences to all Congolese people and all Africans. This is an extract from a video Koffi Olomide posted on his Facebook page. Femi Kuti I was quite shocked because we were just getting over Prince's death and then hearing this it was sad. He was performing in a period of people like my father Fela Kuti, Miriam Makeba, Hugh Masakela, Manu Dibango - the African greats who have always opened doors for people like me. They have always done Africa proud anywhere in Europe and America where they performed, and they opened doors for African musicians to tour Europe with great pride and respect. Especially when you are playing African music in Europe and America, Papa Wemba's name will be in the forefront of great names. It's a name that was always there and will always be there. It's not a name that will go away any time soon. Femi Kuti was speaking to the BBC 's Focus on Africa radio programme. King Kikii It was such a shock when I received the news it was something I didn't see coming. He was one of the people whose stars shone so brightly. I tried to innovate through my music and Papa Wemba innovated though his. He had so much love for it. He's helped so many people through his music and lifted them up. We won't be able to forget him, the death of Papa Wemba is a huge blow. King Kikii was speaking to the BBC 's Focus on Africa radio programme. Samuel Eto'o What a sad way to start the day by learning of the passing of this monument of Africa. We got chills listening to Wake Up, Okoningana, Ye Te - to name a few. I'm all the more affected by this sad event as I'm a big fan of Congolese music. Papa Wemba so loved his music that he left while performing. Samuel Eto'o left this message on his Facebook page Why have so many celebrities died in 2016?",

It means all new claimants will now be placed on universal credit. The benefit has been criticised by charities and campaigners over reports of long delays in payments and its link to rent arrears and food bank use. Work will begin next year to transfer those claiming existing benefits to universal credit. The process, which has been repeatedly delayed, is now expected to last until 2023. 'People are worried sick about universal credit' The Highlands Council area has had the longest association with universal credit in Scotland. In late 2013, the system was started as a pilot scheme. Since then, 9,000 people in the Highlands have moved on to the benefit, with another 13,000 to be transferred before 2023. READ MORE: ''People are worried sick about universal credit' Six benefits The UK government said the aim of universal credit was to simplify the system and make sure more people benefited from being in work. It replaces six benefits and merges them into one monthly sum paid in arrears. The six benefits are: According to figures held by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), 128,253 people were claiming universal credit in Scotland as of October 2018. Just over 60,000 of them were said to be seeking work. As the rollout has progressed, more than 30,000 Scottish claimants have been sanctioned - meaning their benefit money has been cut. The DWP said sanctions had only been used in a \"very small percentage of cases when people failed to meet their agreed commitments to look, or prepare, for work\". BBC Scotland received data from 31 local councils and 72 housing associations. Of 38,726 tenants recorded as receiving housing payments, 29,737 were said to be in arrears in October - about 76%. Councils and social landlords pointed out that many of those affected were in arrears prior to universal credit's introduction. However, a survey conducted this summer by the Scottish Federation of Housing Associations found that the average arrears level of a tenant on universal credit was £676, while the average for those on older benefits amounted to £394. Last month, a report by the Scottish Police Authority said anecdotal evidence suggested there might be a link between welfare reforms and rises in crimes of dishonesty and robbery. Amber Rudd, the new secretary of state for Work and Pensions, said: \"Universal Credit is a force for good, and everyone in Scotland that visits a jobcentre from now on will be able to access a better, modern benefit with personalised support. \"Universal Credit is working for the vast majority of people, and in Scotland we've seen almost 200,000 more people move into work since 2010. However, I will continue to monitor closely and make improvements where needed.\" A spokeswoman for the DWP said universal credit was \"the biggest reform to the welfare state in decades\" and replaced \"an outdated, complicated system that often trapped people out of work\". She said: \"We have listened to concerns about universal credit delivery and funding, and in response announced a £4.5bn cash boost. \"This includes increasing the amount people can earn on universal credit by £1,000 before their payment begins to reduce, and making sure people do not lose out as they move onto the new benefit.\"",

They also said it was \"shameful\" they had closer links with Bristol Airport than Cardiff due to the Welsh airport offering fewer routes. The summit is held in September. With little more than 100 days to go before up to 60 world leaders arrive at Newport's Celtic Manor Resort, its chief operating officer told MPs that nothing had been \"nailed down\" in terms of a planned outreach programme. Ian Edwards said it was \"shameful\" that the resort worked more closely with Bristol Airport on an international campaign because it offered more routes than Cardiff Airport. He said Wales had done well out of the Ryder Cup at the resort, but could have done better. 'Back of the queue' \"We've got to learn the lesson from the Ryder Cup and make sure we don't make the same mistakes with Nato,\" he said. Mr Edwards told MPs on the Welsh affairs committee: \"At the moment it's more viable for us to have an alliance with Bristol Airport to put on an international campaign because they have more routes coming into Bristol than into Cardiff. \"How shameful is that?\" The Nato summit will be five times the size of the Ryder Cup, with delegates and media staying in hotels from Swansea to Swindon. Mr Edwards said no-one in the Welsh government was promoting the conference market, where delegates spent three times as much as ordinary leisure visitors. The resort's director Simon Gibson said that before the Ryder Cup people overseas thought Wales was spelled \"whales\". The executives criticised the \"GREAT Britain\" marketing campaign to bring tourists to Britain. Mr Edwards said: \"We only became part of that because of the Nato summit. Before that, it didn't exist.\" Under new management But Mr Edwards also told MPs that he believed that the body promoting Welsh tourism - Visit Wales, was effectively under new management. \"Visit Wales is under a new leadership, new direction, and is still sort of finding its feet at the moment,\" he said. \"Once everything is pulled together, we will have the right team to move things forward.\" He told the MPs that he felt the Welsh government was working hard towards ensuring the Nato event was a success. He added: \"We will absolutely be ready for Nato. We have to be ready for Nato - it's not an option.\" However, Mr Gibson went on to criticise UKTI, the government department charged with helping business, for inviting Wales to take part in investment opportunities late in the bidding process for a share of investment from sovereign wealth funds. \"I don't always think we're at the front of the queue at UKTI when it comes to opportunities,\" he said. 'Maximising Nato benefits' \"It's billions. An opportunity like that might have paid for the M4 relief road. \"It could have done all sorts of projects of a large nature but if we're at the back of the queue we're going to lose.\" Responding to some of Mr Edwards comments, a spokesperson for the Welsh government said: \"We have an excellent relationship with the Celtic Manor and are working closely with them and the UK Government to ensure we maximise the benefits to Wales from hosting the NATO conference. \"We are also working closely with the Celtic Manor on plans to deliver a world-class convention centre to enhance Wales' reputation as an international destination for major conferences.\"",

Mr Steele, who runs a London-based intelligence firm, was reportedly hired by anti-Trump Republicans to investigate Mr Trump's ties to Russia during the battle for the party's presidential nomination. In the general election campaign the research was funded by an anonymous Democratic donor. But since Mr Steele has been in hiding since the report surfaced on Tuesday, there is no confirmation that he is the author. What does the report say? It consists of a series of memos dated from June to December, and said to be based on information from members of the Russian intelligence community. It claims that Russian officials have cultivated Mr Trump for at least five years to encourage splits within the Western alliance, and shared intelligence information with him. Most startlingly, it alleges that Russia has managed to compromise Mr Trump and is in a position to blackmail him. It says Russia's FSB agency has footage of the president-elect using prostitutes at the Ritz-Carlton hotel in Moscow. How did the public learn of the existence of the report? CNN reported its existence on 10 January, and the Buzzfeed website published it in full. How credible is the information it contains? Since the report was published, Mr Trump has denounced it as \"false and fictitious\" and \"made up, phony facts\". Russian officials have also dismissed it as \"pulp fiction\". All major media outlets have stressed that the report's allegations are unsubstantiated. Several, including the BBC, had knowledge of the claims before the election but were unable to verify them and therefore did not publish stories. Newsweek says it \"contains lots of Kremlin-related gossip\" and points to factual errors and the misspelling of Russian names. However, the reports were considered credible enough by the US intelligence community for a two-page summary to be given to both President Barack Obama and President-elect Trump in early January. US Director of National Intelligence James Clapper has merely said the claims were still being assessed. He also strongly denied suggestions by Mr Trump that US intelligence agencies had been involved in leaking the report.",

Scottish Labour's executive committee ordered the councillors to stand down from the coalition before 17:00. The councillors were suspended after the deadline passed. As a result, there are currently no councillors in Aberdeen representing the Labour Party. Jenny Laing was chosen as council leader for Labour on Wednesday. The party's Barney Crockett had earlier been elected Lord Provost, with Conservative Tom Mason elected as deputy provost. 'Labour values' Scottish Labour leader Kezia Dugdale said: \"Labour values must always run through any deals in local government. \"The hundreds of thousands of Scots who vote for us have the absolute right to expect us to defend local services against cuts and properly fund the services that so many people rely on such as education and care for the elderly. \"Labour cannot do any deal with another party if it would result in further austerity being imposed on local communities. \"Tory austerity risks hurting so many families in Aberdeen, and the Labour Party simply will not stand for that.\" Ms Dugdale said the Labour group had put together a proposal to do a deal with the Tories and independents in Aberdeen. \"That deal was considered by a sub-group of the Scottish Executive Committee (SEC) last night and it was rejected. \"It was rejected because they didn't believe there was enough evidence within the proposals put forward that there would be no compulsory redundancies and there would be no end to austerity.\" The councillors also now face disciplinary action, Ms Dugdale said. Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson has strongly criticised Labour's action against its own councillors. She said: \"This is a terrible error of judgement by Kezia Dugdale. She has abandoned nine local councillors - they are right and she is wrong. \"It's also evidence of the Labour party nationally hanging out to dry voters in Scotland's third biggest city. \"Kezia Dugdale is putting her own petty politics ahead of what's good for Aberdeen, and would rather see an independence-obsessed SNP at the reins than her own councillors.\" Discussions among all political groups on the local authority have been continuing since the election results were declared on 5 May. The SNP became the biggest party, but did not have enough councillors to form a majority administration. A total of 19 SNP councillors were elected, up from 16 in 2012, as the Conservatives surged to 11 from three and Labour's total halved to nine. Two Independents were returned. The Lib Dems were down one to four, but later announced they would not enter into a coalition to run Aberdeen City Council. This meant a possible SNP/Lib Dem coalition could not happen. Lib Dem councillor Jennifer Stewart has now left the party group to become an independent. Analysis by BBC Scotland local government correspondent Jamie McIvor The row over the new coalition in Aberdeen comes amid continuing uncertainty following the council elections. There are no councils where one single party has an overall majority. Only a handful of deals have been confirmed so far. Labour did not completely rule out the possibility of local deals with the Conservatives to run councils before the election. They strongly played down the notion - stressing their councillors would fight austerity, the difficulties of working with the Conservatives and the fact the party's National Executive Committee would need to approve any deals. But the notion that local deals between Labour and the Conservatives were possible should not come as a complete shock. Where will power lie in Scottish councils?",

The expat group wants immediate talks about the implications of Brexit for Britons living in other EU countries. UK Prime Minister Theresa May has pledged to trigger Article 50 by the end of March. But she also called for \"preparatory work\" with EU governments - before the official negotiations - to help smooth the process of UK withdrawal. The non-profit association Fair Deal for Expats has issued a legal challenge against Mr Juncker at the European Court of Justice (ECJ). The group alleges that his \"presidential order\" concerning Brexit discussions is an \"unlawful gagging order\" which \"must be annulled immediately\". Croft Solicitors, representing the expats in the case, told the BBC that \"there is no such thing as a presidential order\" in the European Commission. Mr Juncker and some other European politicians have warned against an \"a la carte\" deal for the UK which might encourage other EU members to cherry-pick EU policies, unravelling the rulebook. 'No prior discussions' In a speech on 28 June, four days after the Leave campaign won the UK referendum, Mr Juncker said: \"I have forbidden Commissioners from holding discussions with representatives from the British Government - by Presidential order, which is not my style. \"I have told all the [Commission] Directors-General that there cannot be any prior discussions with British representatives. No notification, no negotiation.\" Article 50: A simple explanation On Friday Mr Juncker insisted again that the EU must not compromise on free movement of labour during the Brexit divorce talks. It is among the EU's cherished four freedoms - the others being free movement of capital, goods and services - that members of the EU single market have to respect. Speaking in Paris, Mr Juncker said \"you can't have one foot in and one foot out\". \"On that point we must be intransigent. I can see the manoeuvring.\" Discrimination claim Many UK politicians want a deal that would allow the UK to keep key single market advantages while also limiting the numbers of EU migrants entering the UK. Mr Juncker warned against \"secret talks in dark rooms, with curtains drawn, with British government representatives\". \"If we start unravelling the [EU] internal market... we will set in train the end of Europe,\" he said. There are just under 1.2m UK citizens living in other EU countries, the largest group being in Spain (just under 310,000), followed by Ireland (255,000) and France (185,000), according to United Nations data. Wynne Edwards, a member of Fair Deal for Expats living in France, said Mr Juncker's \"order\" was an attempt to influence legitimate discussion on Brexit among UK citizens, and so amounted to discrimination. \"If Germans wanted to speak about the effects of Brexit on Germany they wouldn't be prohibited from doing so,\" he told the BBC Radio 4 Today programme. Healthcare is among the key concerns of British expats, he said, citing the case of a Briton who had been getting cancer treatment in France, but had been refused some medication in the UK. \"We ought to be allowed to find out what the lines in the sand are, what is negotiable and what isn't,\" he said.",

The defence secretary told the Commons that the defence estate was ''vital, but too vast'' and too inefficient, and that the closures would help to deliver better value for money and allow the release of land to build 55,000 houses \"where they are needed most\". He added: \"We have been spending billions maintaining a defence estate that doesn't meet the needs of our Armed Forces. This plan delivers an estate fit for our forces and their families. \"By putting money where it is needed, we will provide better facilities to train our Armed Forces and deliver more stability for military families.\" Local economy The SNP's defence spokesman at Westminster, Brendan O'Hara, said Scotland's defence facilities had been \"hollowed out and sold out\" because of the UK government's \"obsession\" with nuclear weapons. Sir Michael responded by saying that the government was investing more in Scotland, with additional personnel being stationed at RAF Lossiemouth and work on eight Royal Navy frigates to begin on the Clyde next year. Deputy First Minister John Swinney described the closures as \"a huge blow\" for Scotland. He said: \"Our defence footprint has been worn away through successive cuts, so it is unacceptable that the UK government has announced a near 20% reduction to our defence footprint. This comes just three years after the last Army Basing Plan, billed as offering stability and certainty. \"These brutal cuts spell the near total removal of the Army from large parts of Scotland and the end of the Royal Navy's presence in Fife. It is deeply distressing to witness the announcement to close truly historic sites, such as Glencorse, home to the Army for almost 150 years, and Fort George, a garrison for almost 250 years.\" Margaret Davidson, leader of Highland Council, said the withdrawal of the Army from Fort George would take £20m out of the local economy. Local businesses supply the site and there are about 200 armed forces families connected to the base. Ms Davidson said: \"Fort George is a huge symbol in Highland life. It is a presence of the Army in our community.

It is summer-time, and on a parade ground inside Fort George a soldier from the Crimean War is relaxing and tucking into a Cornetto. Elsewhere, Roman legionnaires, chainmail clad knights, Jacobite fighters and government red coats mingle with young families and overseas tourists who have poured over a draw bridge into the fortification. In an arena, the crowd is entertained by demonstrations of Viking raids and infantry drills from hundreds of years ago. Read more here. Major General Alastair Dickinson, who is the director of Army basing and infrastructure, described the announcement as \"the right thing to do\" from a military perspective. He said: \"It's incredibly sad and we're very conscious of this but the reality is - let's take Fort George as an example - we've got 21st Century soldiers. They need 21st Century equipment. They need 21st Century training and they need 21st Century accommodation. \"Fort George is a great monument. It's a great tourist attraction, but it's a listed building and it's very difficult to get it to the point where we can have 21st Century living and as a result we have got to move. \"From a military sense I think this is the right thing to do. We've got an estate that's too big. We've got to do something about it and we are doing. \"The way that this will work is that we will use three hubs of specialism and centres of capability. What we'll be able to do is put two or three regiments and the same sort of individuals together.\" The Scottish government, SNP MPs and MSPs, Highland Council and the Moray Firth Partnership had been campaigning against the closure of the Fort George base after it emerged that the site formed part of a Ministry of Defence review of the UK's defence estate, along with Kinloss. Fort George is managed by the Ministry of Defence and Scottish government agency, Historic Environment Scotland. Large parts of the historic site are open to the public and more than 55,000 visitors take tours of the fortification every year. The role of Fort George has been examined in previous rounds of defence cuts, including in 2011. Fort George was built on the southern shores of the Inner Moray Firth on the orders of King George II following the Battle of Culloden in 1746. D-Day landings It was a symbol of the Crown and was given the resources to crack down on fresh Jacobite rebellions, or risings. Fort George would go on to provide a base for armed forces personnel training for D-Day landings during World War Two.

            "input": "They are from various parts of the UK including London, Stoke on Trent, Manchester and Birmingham, and say they are being badly affected by the benefit changes. Here are their arguments. Case one: need for three bedrooms Lawyers for one London family say they live in a damp, one-bedroom flat infested with mice. One son has autism; the other has Down's Syndrome. The child with autism sleeps in the bedroom while his mother, father and brother sleep on the floor in the living room. Owing to the changes, they say they cannot afford to move to the three-bedroom property which they have been assessed as requiring. Case two: no space for second bed Charlotte Carmichael has spina bifida and sleeps in a fixed position in a hospital-style bed which, she argues, her husband Jayson - who is her full-time carer - cannot share. He sleeps in their spare room as there is not enough space in her room for a second bed. Case three: needs three bedrooms In 2011, a six-year-old boy was assaulted by the then partner of his mother, leaving him traumatised. Now aged nine, he and his four-year-old sister live with their mother in a three bedroom property because, solicitors say, of his behavioural and mental issues - including a risk of violence to his sister. His mother was told she would lose £15.52 a week when the council judged they were under-occupying. Case four: no suitable alternatives A wheelchair user lives in a three-bedroom bungalow shared with his stepdaughter, who stays in university accommodation during the week in term-time. She also uses a wheelchair, as she has a rare form of muscular dystrophy. He says he needs a third bedroom to store equipment, including a hoist for lifting him. He has had his housing benefit cut by 25% but contends there are no suitable two-bedroom homes in the social sector. Case five: paper-filled rooms For 19 years a single man with mental health problems, including Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, has lived in a high-rise tower block with three bedrooms. He claims he does not sleep in any of the rooms as they are filled with papers he has accumulated - as is his bath. He receives medication for depression and has psychological treatment in hospital. He claims that he is very anxious about having to move and disrupt his routines. Case six: 24-hour support A 26-year-old woman with the mental age of three needs support with every aspect of her life and 24-hour care. She has lived with her mother in a specially adapted three-bedroom property for 20 years. The property is fitted with a lift, a gradual slope at the front and rear for wheelchair access, ceiling hoists and a changing bed. The mother is to receive discretionary housing payments until September, after which her housing benefit will be cut by 14%. She has appealed against the decision. Case seven: risk of physical harm The parents of a severely autistic 10-year-old boy with complex neurodevelopmental difficulties say that he cannot share a bedroom with his 12-year-old brother. They argue their younger son is strong and violent, and that sharing a room would increase the risk of physical harm to their elder son. The family live in a three-bedroom bungalow and were handed a 14% cut in their housing benefit cut before appealing against the decision. The local authority has now granted them an extra bedroom allowance. Case eight: garden to play safely A single mother was made homeless with her two children, an eight-year-old boy and five-year-old girl, when she fled her violent partner in 2010. They now occupy a three-bedroom ground floor flat with a garden. The property was allocated on the basis that the boy's disabilities, which include autism and ADHD, have led to problems affecting his interaction with other children and playing safely in public spaces. The mother has been told they will face a 14% cut in their benefit, though it has yet to take effect as a decision on her appeal has not yet been reached. Case nine: parents sharing care The father of a nine-year-old boy, who suffers from spastic quadriplegia and cerebral palsy, shares the care for his son with his mother, whom he separated from when the boy was 18-months old. The son spends every weekend and at least one day during the week with his father. The boy is a full-time wheelchair user who moves around inside their two-bedroom flat by shuffling around on his bottom. The father has been informed that his housing benefit will be cut by 14%. Case ten: medical priority A couple with a six-year-old son, who suffers from a rare brain disorder, and a two-year-old daughter, live in a two-bedroom property. Though aged six, their son is still in nappies, cannot walk and cannot look after himself. He can crawl and will eventually progress to a wheelchair, they say. His parents argue that he needs his own bedroom for all his equipment, for his personal care, and for the risk he poses to his younger sister. They have been given medical priority by their local authority to move to a three-bedroom property, though they presently live in accommodation too small for their needs.",

Ms Harman told BBC Radio 4's Today programme it was the Speaker's job \"to ensure Parliament can have its say\". Other MPs intending to stand include Tory Sir Edward Leigh, Labour's Chris Bryant and the SNP's Pete Wishart. Ms Harman - who is known for her campaigning on women's rights - said the next Speaker must be \"scrupulously neutral\" on debates, and praised Mr Bercow. She told Today: \"This is a Parliament in very difficult times. We have got very divided times in the country and Parliament itself is divided. \"I think what Parliament has to do, and the Speaker has to do, is to ensure that Parliament can have its say... and that is what John Bercow has sought to do.\" Asked if she would be able to remain neutral in the chair, Ms Harman said: \"Once you offer yourself for election as Speaker, you are making a promise you will set [your party] aside and be neutral, so whoever [is Speaker] will have to go through that transition. \"I would be a champion for Parliament. \"I think the relationship between Parliament and public is very difficult at the moment, and I think a really confident, positive voice speaking about the importance of Parliament with the public is necessary at this time.\" Who is Harriet Harman? Harriet Harman became the MP for Peckham (later Camberwell and Peckham) during a by-election in 1982 and has remained in her seat ever since. She went to the exclusive St Paul's Girls' School in London and read politics at York University, before training as a solicitor. She was rapidly promoted during Labour's years in opposition in the 1980s and 1990s, before becoming Tony Blair's secretary of state for social security and minister for women. Despite being sacked over welfare reform, she returned to government in 2001 as solicitor general, then secretary of state at the department for constitutional affairs, and, under Gordon Brown, became deputy leader. She has a reputation as a steely feminist, once joking she was unlikely to become prime minister as there was not enough space at airports for the men who would try to leave the country. She is married to fellow Labour MP Jack Dromey and has three children. The news comes after Mr Bercow announced he would be standing down as Speaker at the next general election, or at the end of business on 31 October (Brexit deadline day) - whichever comes first. In an emotional speech to the Commons, Mr Bercow said his 10-year \"tenure\" was nearing its end and it had been the \"greatest honour and privilege\" to serve. He has faced fierce criticism from Brexiteers, who have questioned his impartiality on the issue of Europe and claim he has facilitated efforts by MPs opposed to a no-deal exit to take control of Commons business. He has also been criticised for not doing more to tackle allegations of bullying and harassment in the House of Commons - facing accusations himself about mistreating several members of his own staff, which he denies. Who else is running to be the next Speaker? Harriet Harman is not the only one to put her name forward to become the next Speaker of the Commons when Mr Bercow steps down. So who are the other candidates? Sir Edward Leigh - Conservative MP for Gainsborough since 1983 Sir Edward became the first MP to explicitly make a pitch to be the next Speaker, releasing a statement and a series of tweets on 25 April 2019. He said he intended to stand when the vacancy comes up, saying that he would be \"a traditional speaker who does not speak much\". He added: \"Like a judge I would, by my conduct and dress, submerge my personality into the office. I would be rigidly impartial.\" Chris Bryant - Labour MP for Rhondda since 2001 As a parliamentary historian, Mr Bryant has often been touted as a future Speaker and he has now confirmed he is throwing his hat into the ring. He wrote a three-volume biography of Parliament and often makes procedural points in Commons debates. He announced his intention to run in The House magazine on 15 April 2019, but his pitch was slightly less conservative than Sir Edward's. He said he would not \"belittle or diminish or lecture MPs\", but be \"authoritative enough... to command respect\". Eleanor Laing - Deputy Speaker and Conservative MP for Epping Forest since 1997 Ms Laing has been one of the three deputy speakers since 2013. She revealed her intention on 28 February 2018, also in The House magazine, saying she would try for Speaker when Mr Bercow \"finally decides to go\". She said: \"I am fortunate to have had five years' experience in the Speaker's chair. There is a lot to be done to take our democratic system onto the next stage.\" She has also talked about her desire to make Parliament more representative, particularly in its representation of mothers. Pete Wishart - SNP MP for Tayside since 2001, then Perth and North Perthshire since 2005 Mr Wishart followed in Sir Edward's footsteps to make his announcement on Twitter, but with a manifesto to bring \"the Commons into the 21st century\". His pledges include electronic voting, to allow MPs to wear what they like to the Commons and to stop using \"honourable member\" and \"right honourable member\" to address people. He also wants Parliament to move around the UK, rather than just staying put in Westminster. Lindsay Hoyle - Deputy Speaker and Labour MP for Chorley since 1997 After Mr Bercow announced he was stepping down on Monday, his deputy took to Twitter to announce his candidacy. He said that MPs are \"clearly in unprecedented times\", saying it would be \"vital to have an experienced Speaker who can provide the stability and leadership the House of Commons requires in order to remain at the centre to our political system\". Mr Hoyle said he had proved himself to be \"independent and fair\" and had \"ensured all members of Parliament have been able to exercise their right to speak on behalf of constituents to hold the government to account - regardless of position or length of service\".",

            "input": "By Mark SavageBBC music reporter The US and the UK are often considered the twin crucibles of pop music but, thanks to Kraftwerk's visionary synth music, Dusseldorf has at least an equal claim on the title. In the mid-1970s, the band's allegiance to what they called \"robot pop\" set the sonic template for everything from hip-hop to dance music. In some quarters, they were called \"the electronic Beatles\", and it's hard to disagree. Electronic music had existed before - from the musitron solo on Del Shannon's Runaway to the mind-expanding Doctor Who theme, recorded by the BBC Radiophonic Workshop in 1963. But Kraftwerk developed a new musical vocabulary, sculpting hypnotic, low-frequency sounds that celebrated Europe's romantic past and looked forward to its shimmering future. 'Circuitry and soul' On albums like Trans-Europe Express and Man Machine, the quartet connected \"the coldness of circuitry and the warmth of the soul\", wrote music critic Garry Mulholland, \"reminding us that machines are, after all, the product of the dreams of humans\". Among those who took notice were David Bowie, who borrowed their industrial atmospherics on Low; and Afrika Bambaataa, who lifted the icy riff from Trans-Europe Express to power one of rap's earliest anthems, Planet Rock. In turn, those records spawned the New Romantic, synth pop and hip-hop movements of the 80s, which later bled into trance, house and EDM. \"They started it all,\" said Pet Shop Boy Chris Lowe in 1990. Kraftwerk emerged from the same German experimental music community of the late '60s that spawned Can and Tangerine Dream. Founders Florian Schneider and Ralf Hütter met as students at Dusseldorf Conservatory, but rebelled against the constraints of classical music. \"We don't want to end up playing Mozart and Beethoven at our local concert hall,\" Hütter said. \"The question is, 'What does Germany sound like today?' That's where we started.\" They adopted the name Kraftwerk, meaning \"power plant\", and described themselves as \"klangchemiker\" - or sound chemists - immersing themselves in the possibilities of emerging new technology. Schneider even invented some instruments of his own, including an electronic flute and a vocoder-style synthesizer called the Robovox. Kraftwerk's first three albums were free-form improvisations, largely played on traditional instruments, and are not considered by the band to be part of their \"official\" discography. In 1974, they settled on their definitive sound with Autobahn, a 22-minute synth symphony intended to evoke the feeling of a long journey on Germany's motorways. Edited down to three minutes, it earned the band a top 40 hit on both sides of the Atlantic - and they later appeared on BBC technology programme Tomorrow's World to demonstrate their \"machinemusik\". But not everyone was impressed. In the era of Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd, the music press treated the pioneers with a sneering suspicion. \"For God's sake, keep the robots out of music,\" wrote Melody Maker's Keith Ging. \"They sound so detached,\" complained the NME. \"The kind of guys who could blow up the planet just to hear the noise it made.\" Their cold, sleek image only fuelled the fire, but critics often missed the sly humour at work in the band's music. Take, for example, Showroom Dummies from 1977's Trans-Europe Express album - a deadpan riposte to their portrayal as emotionless machines. They took the joke to its logical conclusion on 1978's The Robots. In 1982, they scored their biggest hit, reaching number one in the UK with The Model - a searing takedown of the fashion industry. But by that point, their sound had become mainstream. Gary Numan scored a number one hit in 1979 with the synth-heavy Are 'Friends' Electric, paving the way for bands like OMD, Depeche Mode and The Human League, who took Kraftwerk's sounds and transposed them to the industrial cities of England. Bowie was also a fan, describing their sound as the \"folk music of the factories\", and paying homage on his classic Berlin album Heroes with the track V-2 Schneider. Kraftwerk returned the favour by namechecking him and Iggy Pop on Trans-Europe Express. As their output slowed in the 1980s, the band's sound became the bedrock of early hip-hop. In subsequent years, their music has been sampled by everyone from Dr Dre and The Chemical Brothers to Justin Timberlake and The KLF. Even Coldplay lifted elements of the band's song Computer Love as the central motif to their 2005 song Talk. Three years later, Schneider left the band - but by that point their legacy as the forefathers of electronic music was assured. \"They are in the psyche of modern pop, whether there is an awareness of it or not,\" Underworld's Karl Hyde told The Telegraph in 2013. Martin Gore of Depeche Mode added: \"For anyone of our generation involved in electronic music, Kraftwerk were the godfathers.\" Follow us on Facebook, or on Twitter @BBCNewsEnts.

If the takeover goes through, it would combine AT&T's distribution network with content from the Warner Brothers film studios and the cable TV channels HBO and CNN. AT&T's chairman described it as \"a perfect match\" but critics say it concentrates too much media power. 'Complementary strengths' The deal is likely to be closely scrutinised by US antitrust regulators. AT&T is already the third largest cable TV provider in the US. Randall Stephenson, who is both chairman and chief executive of AT&T, said he did not anticipate any regulatory obstacles, saying any concerns could be overcome if concessions were made. \"This is a perfect match of two companies with complementary strengths who can bring a fresh approach to how the media and communications industry works for customers, content creators, distributors and advertisers,\" he said. Analysis: Joe Lynam, BBC correspondent AT&T has the means by which millions of Americans consume their entertainment. It owns the platform - be that cable or broadband - which enables people to watch their favourite shows. But it does not - until now- own the shows or the \"content\" which households want to watch, be that Game of Thrones, CNN or live NBA basketball. Buying Time Warner, which we should not confuse with Time Warner Cable, allows AT&T to become a full service media provider and one of the more important companies in the world. It allows a newly-merged entity to steal a march on the likes of Verizon or Comcast in a very competitive US market. But the deal may never happen. It could be deemed anti-competitive by regulators because AT&T already owns mobile phone, broadband and cable TV networks, and allowing it to control the shows as well might deprive consumers of choice. An AT&T statement said that aim of the deal was to give customers \"unmatched choice, quality, value and experiences that will define the future of media and communications\" and the new company would \"lead the next wave of innovation in converging media and communications industry\". Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has said if he is elected, he will block the deal. \"It's too much concentration of power in the hands of too few,\" he said on Saturday, before the deal was confirmed. AT&T will pay $107.50 for each Time Warner share, in a combination of cash and stock, worth $85.4bn overall, according to a statement. AT&T said it expected the deal to be completed by the end of 2017. Other media company shares, including Discovery, AMC, Netflix and CBS, recently rose as investors speculated that a deal could spark a fresh wave of takeovers and mergers among media and technology companies. AT&T, which has a market value of about $238bn, has already made moves to turn itself into a media powerhouse, buying satellite TV provider DirecTV last year for $48.5bn. Time Warner chief executive Jeff Bewkes has, however, resisted selling in the past. The company rejected an $80bn offer from Twenty-First Century Fox Inc in 2014. The deal gives AT&T access to a major producer of content as it seeks to diversify away from its core telecoms business. Rival Verizon is currently in negotiations to buy Yahoo and has already bought AOL, owner of Huffington Post. Some analysts, however, question whether AT&T needs to mount a complete takeover of Time Warner.",

Outsiders are banned from even approaching the island to protect the people who live there, and their way of life.

It is a highly sensitive zone and it will take some time,\" he said. On his last visit to the island, Mr Chau had taken a boat with local fishermen towards the remote North Sentinel island. He then ventured alone in a canoe to the beach. As soon as he set foot on the island, he was attacked with bows and arrows, according to the fishermen. According to extracts of a journal published in the Washington Post, on a previous visit, he had shouted at them: \"My name is John, I love you and Jesus loves you.\" One of the tribesmen shot at him with an arrow, which pierced his waterproof Bible, he wrote. In a last note to his family, he wrote: \"You guys might think I'm crazy in all this but I think it's worthwhile to declare Jesus to these people. \"God, I don't want to die.\" He had taken scissors, safety pins and a football as gifts to the tribe, according to a source quoted by Reuters news agency who had access to his notes and asked not to be named. He wrote he was \"doing this to establish the kingdom of Jesus on the island... Do not blame the natives if I am killed,\" the source said. 'Dream gone wrong' Jeff King is president of International Christian Concern, the organisation with which Mr Chau was aligned, and was in contact with him during his visit. \"John went there to bring the gospel to these people... He had talked about it... planned it for a while, so it wasn't a whim, it wasn't a lark,\" he told the BBC's Newsday programme. \"He'd been in the islands before, to this particular island... there were three or four visits on that day, and what happened was on the first visit he was turned back by arrows; the second visit, he came with two big fish as a gift. \"My understanding was the men accepted the gift; they sat together for an hour; he said they were menacing and they actually shot him. He went back to the boat, and then gradually went back a third time. That's when the fishermen who were looking through binoculars saw that they'd killed him and were taking him apart. \"This was not a job he was doing - this was a dream he had that unfortunately went wrong.\" The Andaman and Nicobar Islands are a chain of small islands hundreds of kilometres east of India in the Indian Ocean. Contact with several tribes on the islands is illegal to protect their indigenous way of life. In 2017, the Indian government also said taking photographs or making videos of the aboriginal Andaman tribes would be punishable with imprisonment of up to three years. Two Indian fishermen fishing illegally off North Sentinel Island were killed by the tribe in 2006. The Sentinelese are totally cut off from the rest of the world. Global organisations like London-based Survival International have been campaigning to protect the indigenous tribes living in the Andamans. The tribe live on their own island, roughly the size of Manhattan, but most of what is known about them comes from viewing them from a distance. Read more on uncontacted tribes:",

Unfortunately, seeing your other half - if you don't live with them - isn't classed as essential. The deputy chief medical officer, Dr Jenny Harries, warned that couples could pass on the virus if they continue to visit each other at their individual homes. She suggested couples \"test\" their relationship and move in together while the lockdown restrictions are in place. 'It isn't the fairytale I'd always dreamed of' One couple who decided to take that test and move in together are 27-year-old Laura Collins and her partner Jon Pearson. They've always lived separately during their four-year relationship - both in Cheltenham. Laura says she couldn't think of anything worse than being alone in her flat during the lockdown - so once it was announced the couple decided to move into Jon's parents' house in Cornwall. \"Jon's currently working in his childhood room, he's surrounded by teddy bears, Pokemon cards and his old Guitar Hero set - it's quite funny,\" Laura tells Radio 1 Newsbeat. \"It's a little bit different to how I pictured us moving in together but it's nice to be together and have our lunch breaks together in the garden.\" So what's it like moving back in with your parents for the first time in eight years - with your girlfriend - during a global pandemic? \"We're not getting on each other's nerves yet,\" Jon tells us. \"But dad gets annoyed at small things, like if we don't empty the dishwasher.\" Jon and Laura never planned on moving to Cornwall, but they're making the most of it now they're there. But it's not just happy couples like Jon and Laura who took the plunge. 'I moved in with my ex' Yes, you read that right. Kieran Lineham and AJ James, both 23, were a couple for four years but split five months ago and have remained \"really good friends\". \"It's not awkward or anything like that - we make jokes about it and so does the family,\" AJ tells Newsbeat. When there were rumours of a lockdown, AJ asked Kieran where he would prefer to stay: \"For some reason he said he'd like to live in my mad house for three weeks.\" So he moved in with her, her parents and her younger brother. \"I think my family love him more than me, they'd happily trade us in. \"As soon as the lockdown finishes, he's off. His dad can have him back,\" AJ says. They've both still been working - Kieran is a lorry driver and AJ is a carer for people with special needs. Kieran says he was, and still is, confused that he was invited over. The two have been sharing a bed with AJ's dog, but insist it is unlikely they will get back together. 'We're travelling the world... virtually' From London to Paris to New York - Riya and Rajeev have decided to virtually tour the world. They've been together for just under a year and live separately - but have been making \"extra effort\" to keep things interesting in lockdown. So far, it's been an exploration of museums, visiting the Guggenheim and Museum of Modern Art in New York, and the Louvre in Paris online together. \"It's cool being able to still see amazing places and travelling the world, albeit through the internet rather than a plane,\" Riya, 23, says. Rajeev even made an effort by putting on a shirt - which isn't all that common nowadays. But their relationship isn't all about touring the world. Tips for keeping your relationship healthy in lockdown Sami Wunder, dating and relationships coach 1. Give your partner and yourself enough time to look after yourselves. You can read a book while your husband plays PlayStation, get that space and freedom. You shouldn't expect that because you are both at home you should do everything together. 2. Romance doesn't have to completely disappear just because you're stuck at home. You can make date night at home - have a candlelit dinner, dress up and look good. 3. Be honest about any challenges and work towards a solution. If you think there's not enough physical intimacy, make time for it. Do things which connect each other, such as giving a nice massage. 4. It's a chance to be creative, especially if you're not living with your partner. Send flowers, meals and thoughtful letters - and surprise one another. 5. Lockdown is also a good opportunity to revisit your priorities in life. Even though it might feel like you're caged in, it can actually be a great opportunity to connect with your loved ones and do things you couldn't do before. Riya and Rajeev have also created a reading club for themselves, subscribing to each other's favourite publications - the New York Times for Riya and Medium for Rajeev - and then discussing what they read. And Riya's even taken the time to understand Rajeev's job (he's a data scientist) a little better. \"I was doing a coding tutorial to find out more. And now I kind of understand. It was cool to learn and a good skill,\" she says. They say all these activities have been important for their relationship. \"It's nice to do these interesting things rather than just staying at home, because then you get a bit negative and start bugging each other about the situation you're in,\" Rajeev says. \"This way you're making each other feel good and having new shared experiences.\" Follow Newsbeat on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.

            "input": "By Ian PollockPersonal finance reporter, BBC News Since it started in the autumn of 2007 it has made four million small, short-term loans, amounting to more than a billion pounds in all. The firm has attracted plenty of criticism, suggesting it is little better than a digital loan-shark, exploiting the skint and vulnerable. In January the firm was at the centre of controversy about adverts encouraging students with jobs to take out loans to pay for things like trips abroad. And in March fans of some football clubs called for the company's adverts to be removed from their clubs' websites. This week it attracted more attention by launching a loan service aimed at businesses which are short of cash. Errol Damelin, Wonga's founder, is remarkably unperturbed by the critics. At a briefing for journalists this week, he was happy and confident about the prospects for his business, and also the legitimacy of short-term money lending. According to him, Wonga is the equivalent of iTunes for the financial world. \"Wonga is a platform for the future of financial services, the digital revolution has not yet begun in financial services,\" he said. Likening his company to firms like Google, Amazon, PayPal and Netflix, he argued that using technology and data about his customers would be the key to success. \"Wonga is on a multi-year and multi-decade journey to build the future of financial services, using data and technology to make objective and unprejudiced decisions,\" said Mr Damelin. How it works People borrow money from Wonga by applying on its website. This offers a swift decision and then transfers the money into a bank account within 15 minutes. The firm employs more than 100 staff just to develop its technology and make sure the site works properly. Its key feature is that it combines information about potential customers in a massive in-house credit scoring operation. Errol Damelin said his computers use artificial-intelligence software to collect and digest up to 8,000 different pieces of information about applicants to decide if they should be offered loans. \"We have built the world's first, completely straight-through processing system for credit, so when somebody comes to Wonga as an individual, or as a business-owner, and applies for a cash advance, the whole process is completely automated,\" he said. So, no more putting on a suit and tie and begging a bank manager for a loan or a bigger overdraft, at least for short-term cashflow problems. Selectivity Wonga's technology filters out applicants who are thought to be too risky, and about 66% of them are currently turned down for not being credit-worthy. For instance you have to have a regular income, a bank account, a functioning debit card, a mobile phone and a good credit record. The result of this filtering is that so far only about 7% of Wonga borrowers have failed to repay. This is a lower level of default than the 10% bad debt rate on credit card lending, which has led banks to write off billions of pounds in the past few years. The credit scoring process, however, is more sophisticated than just asking a few simple questions. The firm's technology allows it to measure how the customers use the website itself, as this offers some valuable insights. For instance, potential borrowers use the online sliders on the computer screen to determine how much they want to borrow and for how long. The firm has found that people who immediately shove the slider up to the maximum amount on offer, currently £400 for 30 days for a first-time applicant for a personal loan, are more likely than others to default. \"The great thing about that is that our decisions are always objective, we are not subject to the same kind of imperfections that traditional lenders have, where different bank managers have different preferences and often prejudices which affect how people get access to credit,\" Damelin argued. High interest What about the cost? Wonga makes no bones about the fact that the APR it charges, a standard measure of interest costs, is a frankly incredible 4,214% a year. That is stated clearly on the front page. Borrowers are told exactly how much they will have to repay, and when. But Errol Damelin said that for his target audience, price is not the issue, and nor should it be. Speed, convenience and transparency are what he is selling - as well as cash. \"We have dared to ask some hard questions, like how can we make loans instant, how can we get money to people 24 hours a day, seven days a week, how can we be totally transparent?\" he said. \"So what we have built is a solution around speed and convenience, and helping people by dealing with them when they want to deal with us.\" Fresh scrutiny Wonga rejects the criticisms of its business by pointing out that its users appear very happy. Using a measure of customer satisfaction called the \"net-promoter\" score, it says it has a score of more than 90%. In essence, most of its customers would be happy to recommend its services to their friends and family. By contrast, most banks have negative scores, and even highly-rated banks like First Direct score less than 50%. Even so, the regulated money lending industry has a poor image and is coming under renewed scrutiny. The Office of Fair Trading (OFT) announced in February that it would look again at the lending practices of the many firms that offer payday loans. Two years ago it concluded that they and other high-cost credit businesses - like home-credit lenders and pawn brokers - should not have their interest rates capped. Now it is concerned again at shoddy selling practices, like targeting loans at people who cannot afford them, and letting their debts roll over to become bigger. Wonga insists it has nothing to do with the spivvier end of the growing payday lending business. For Errol Damelin, the target now is to widen his business by lending to small companies suddenly short of cash. \"Financial services is a challenging place to innovate in, so we are responding where we can deliver a better service,\" he says. \"Businesses have been crying out for a solution that is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to solve relatively small, relatively short-term cashflow problems.\"",

Written by Ben Elton, it currently stars Kevin Kennedy, best known as Coronation Street's Curly Watts. On hearing of the closure, he tweeted: \"Just when you get all the words right and in the proper places.\" The show is based around Queen hits such as Bohemian Rhapsody, Radio Ga Ga and Another One Bites The Dust. Critics were never kind to the £6m production, in particular its story - set in a dystopian future where music is banned. When it opened in 2002, the Guardian said the plot \"really is as sixth form as it sounds\", while the Mirror declared that \"Ben Elton should be shot\". Even Queen's drummer, Roger Taylor, had his doubts, telling Mojo Magazine the script was \"slightly crass\", although \"it does have its good points\". \"I do have an aversion to musical theatre, so it hasn't been easy,\" he added, \"but I've learned to live with the musical.\" Despite the criticisms, the production has been seen by more than 16 million people in 28 countries - and ranks among the top 10 longest-running musicals in West End history. \"We want to thank every one of the many hundreds of incredible musical theatre artists, musicians and crew with whom we've had the privilege of working at the Dominion since 2002,\" said Taylor, Elton and Queen guitarist Brian May in a statement. \"And, of course, the incredible audiences who have rewarded them with over four-and-a-half thousand standing ovations.\" \"It has been a privilege to have hosted We Will Rock You for the past 12 years,\" added David Pearson of the Dominion Theatre. \"To have the show rocking the Dominion and seeing a standing ovation night after night has been quite amazing. \"We wish the show every success for the future, as we now prepare to accelerate our restoration and refurbishment programme ready to welcome an exciting new production in 2015.\" The news of the closure comes days after Queen announced a 19-date US tour, with singer Adam Lambert taking the place of the late Freddie Mercury.",

            "input": "By Catherine SnowdonBBC Business reporter Or is it? Not so, according to the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA). A survey by the business group has found eight out of 10 British school-leavers \"lack essential business skills\" such as numeracy. More than 80% of young people require \"significant training\" before being put to work, according to the 4,000 finance professionals questioned. The figure is worse than last year, when 75% of school-leavers were said to need this level of help after being hired. The top areas of weakness for new recruits are people skills and business skills, followed by technical skills. But how much of this can and should be taught in schools? Alison Arnaud, borough principal of Tower Hamlets College says her staff go above and beyond to prepare young people for the workplace, but at the end of the day, they will always need some finessing depending on the industry they end up in. \"We will mine for the diamond, but the cut and polish is the responsibility of the employer,\" she says. Victoria Hill is 17 and studying business, economics and accounting A-levels at the college. She is aware her choices throughout her education have set her up well for work. But, she says her activities outside of school are just as important. Doing it alone \"I do public speaking because I take part in pageants,\" she says. \"It's definitely increased my confidence.\" Victoria also works part-time for her family's business, and says the amount of team work involved in her job took her by surprise. \"You have to work well together to plan properly for the different groups of customers that come in,\" she says. Fellow student Ifthekar Hussein, 18, had a summer job at Tesco this year. He says the training he received at the supermarket chain was invaluable in helping him learn how to approach and deal with customers. \"I was so nervous at first,\" he says. Grace Mehanna, campaign director for youth employment at Business in the Community, an outreach charity that promotes responsible business, says businesses have a big role to play in preparing school leavers for work. \"From working in schools to help young people and teachers to understand what employers need, to offering new routes into work in the form of apprenticeships; there are many ways businesses can help to bridge the skills gap,\" she adds. More to be done Worryingly, the CIMA research finds that the apparent low calibre of new hires is affecting the performance of the firms that took part in the survey. More than 90% of those surveyed in the UK reported that their workload had increased as a result of skills shortages, with 66% agreeing it had increased the stress levels of staff and 44% that it had caused a fall in departmental performance. \"It is clear the education system is failing young people and failing business. Children spend at least 14 years being schooled, and that provides ample opportunity to equip them with the basic numeracy and literacy skills on which to base a career,\" says Noel Tagoe, executive director of CIMA Education. \"Over the years our various governments have been keen to champion new ideas in education. My concern is that in the long-term the frequency of these changes appear not to be strengthening students' grasp of the basics,\" he adds. Tower Hamlets College principal Ms Arnaud agrees that the number of changes is \"part of the problem\" when it comes to the disconnect between what employers are expecting and what students are being taught. \"Education is a steamliner, it can't be turned around quickly. Change is not a bad thing, it can be refreshing, but it can't be done for the sake of change,\" she says. Under pressure Georgie Walters, who is 16 and works in financial services, says school left him ill-prepared to deal with the pressures of work. \"Work is very different to school, teachers spend a lot of time talking about bullying, which is important, but they need to also spend time teaching us how to handle pressure. They don't tell you about the stresses involved in working.\"",

            "input": "By Rebecca MorelleScience reporter, BBC World Service An international team of scientists found that the very bottom of the Mariana Trench, which lies almost 11km (7 miles) down in the Pacific Ocean, had high levels of microbial activity. The research is published in the journal Nature Geoscience. The underwater canyon was once thought to be too hostile an environment for life to exist. But this study adds to a growing body of evidence that a range of creatures can cope with the near-freezing temperatures, immense pressures and complete darkness. Dr Robert Turnewitsch, one of the authors of the paper from the Scottish Association for Marine Science, said: \"The deepest parts of the deep sea are certainly not dead zones.\" Carbon sink In 2010, the scientists sent an unmanned submersible down into the vast underwater canyon, where it collected samples of the murky sediment that cakes the sea floor. An analysis of the levels of oxygen in the sample revealed the presence of a large number of microbes. Dr Turnewitsch explained: \"These microbes, they respire as we do. And this oxygen consumption is an indirect measurement of the activity of the community.\" Surprisingly, these primitive, single-celled organisms were twice as active at the bottom of the trench than they were at a nearby 6km-deep (four miles) site. They were feasting on a plentiful supply of dead plants and creatures that had drifted down from the sea surface, the decomposing matter becoming trapped within the steep walls of the trench. \"The amount of food down there and also the relative freshness of the material is surprisingly high - it seems to be surprisingly nutritious,\" said Dr Turnewitsch. The level of material found at the bottom of the trench was so high that it suggests the Mariana Trench - which is in an area of the ocean known as the Hadal zone - could play a key part in the carbon cycle and therefore in regulating the planet's climate. Dr Richard Turnewitsch said: \"The fact that large amounts of organic matter that contain the carbon accumulate and are focused in these trenches also means they play an important role in the removal of carbon from the ocean and the overlying atmosphere. \"The Hadal trenches may play a more important role in the global marine carbon cycle than was previously thought.\" Deepest dive Further insight into the Mariana Trench has recently been provided by Hollywood director James Cameron. In 2012, he made the dive to the bottom in a one-man-submarine, becoming the first person to have visited this deep spot for 50 years. Speaking to the BBC straight after his solo plunge, he said that the floor of the trench was an alien and barren terrain. He recently released some of the first scientific results of his dive at the 2012 American Geophysical Union Fall meeting. Working with scientists from the Scripps Institute, the team found giant amoeba and shrimp-like creatures called amphipods. Footage of his dive will be released as 3D National Geographic documentary.",

The scheme is unveiled a day after UK Transport Secretary Justine Greening said there was \"good case\" for looking at electrification of valleys lines. This week a cross party delegation of AMs and business leaders lobbied Westminster on the issue. The proposals for a \"turn up and go\" transport system for south east Wales were unveiled at Sewta's meeting in Bridgend. Sewta Metro Plus envisages passengers being able to travel across the 10-council region, stretching from Monmouthshire to the Vale of Glamorgan, in 45 minutes from either Cardiff or Newport. The transport groups said the scheme would provide a \"comprehensive, sustainable transport network to meet the demands of the 21st Century\". The proposals call for \"seamless and multi-modal\" ticketing, information and changes for passengers. Ms Greening has faced several calls from Welsh politicians to consider adding valleys lines to the £1bn electrification of the main rail line between London and Cardiff announced a year ago. Last month, Welsh Transport Minister Carl Sargeant said full electrification of both the Valleys and Great Western Line down to Swansea was \"essential\". Welsh Secretary Cheryl Gillan has told BBC Wales: \"Improved rail connectivity is a vital component for delivering a successful Welsh economy, and a strong business case for electrification of the Valley Lines is something I passionately want to see.\" 'Substantial investment' On Thursday, Ms Greening outlined proposed rail reforms that included more smart ticketing for rail passengers. She said: She said: \"I think we are putting substantial investment into Wales. \"In fact, the Secretary of State for Wales has been a tireless advocate, actually, pressing me to look at the case, particularly, not just for electrification which we're already doing to Cardiff but also to look at what I recognise is a good case for looking at electrification of the valleys. \"We're now very carefully looking at some of the other opportunities to improve the railway service within Wales.\"",

The figures are based on analysis of wind speeds above 50 knots (58mph) at a number of weather stations in the UK. The highest gust of wind - 142mph - was recorded at Aonach Mor in the Scottish Highlands but this is still considerably below the 173mph recorded in the Cairngorms in March 1986. December was also a very wet month. The UK received 184.7mm of rain, making it the sixth wettest December on record for the country as a whole. But Scotland was drenched in its wettest December on record, with an average rainfall of 296.1mm, beating the previous high set in 1986 of 268.5mm. The rainfall contributed to a rise in groundwater levels - particularly in the south and south east of England - where levels were above normal by the end of the month. Raised groundwater levels means an increased risk of flooding as there is nowhere for the rain to drain away. The weather has been very mild so far this winter. Average temperatures across the UK measured 5.7C, making it the eighth warmest December on record. Scotland recorded an average temperature of 5.1C, 2.3 degrees higher than average, making it the fifth warmest December north of the border. Despite the wind and rain, December also saw more sunshine than usual. The UK as a whole recorded 44.2 hours of sunshine, 8% more than average.

They were bought with the support of the Art Fund and private donations. Picasso explored the linocut technique during the late 1950s and early 1960s and these are regarded as two of his most important pieces. The progressive proofs, which go on display from 10 January, show how Picasso created his linocut images, building them up into their final form. One of Europe's most influential and celebrated artists of the 20th century, he made more than 2,500 prints throughout his long career - using etching, lithography and linocut. The British Museum said there are 13 new linocuts in total and they \"reveal another facet of Picasso's astonishing creativity, and deepen the museum's coverage of his work as a printmaker\". The artist, who died in 1973, began producing linocut posters for ceramic exhibitions and bullfighting events during the mid 1950s when he was living in the South of France. He quickly found new ways of producing them which dispensed with the orthodox method of cutting a separate block of linoleum for each colour. 'Extraordinarily rare' The first of the British Museum's new sets is one of Picasso's best known linocut prints, Still Life under the Lamp, which depicts apples next to a glass goblet, lit up by a lampshade at night. The set contains nine stages of \"extraordinarily rare\" proofs, which originally came from the printer Hidalgo Arnera who worked with Picasso on the linocuts. A set of four black and white proofs accompanies Jacqueline Reading. The print features the artist's second wife Jacqueline Roque, whom he lived with in the last years of his life and who became his final muse. \"The visual impact, rarity and exceptional quality of the Picasso linocut sets makes them a fantastic acquisition for the British Museum, and one which we are delighted to be supporting,\" said Stephen Deuchar, director of the Art Fund, which contributed to the purchase. The works will be on display at the British Museum until 6 May 2014, where director Neil MacGregor said they would join the Prints and Drawings collection. It already includes a complete set of 100 Picasso etchings known as the Vollard Suite (1930-1937). \"These two exceptional sets of linocuts are a significant addition to the British Museum's holdings of Picasso's graphic work,\" said Mr MacGregor.",

She did not want to reveal her identity for security reasons, but said she was proud that she would be voting on Sunday. \"It's going to be my first vote!\" said the woman, who is studying at one of Kazakhstan's universities. Sunday's election is only the second ever held in independent Turkmenistan. The previous leader, Saparmurat Niyazov, did not bother with such formalities - he was simply declared president for life. But when he died suddenly in December 2006, former Health Minister Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov replaced him in polls in which he secured 89% of the vote. After years of repression and absolute rule by a leader who erected golden statues of himself across the country, there were hopes that a new leader would bring change. Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov declared that he would follow the political course set by his predecessor, but he also promised reform. Turkmen rights activists, most of whom live in exile in Europe, note some changes but say they are far from meaningful reform. \"In the past five years we have not seen strong political repression like that witnessed under Niyazov in 2002-03,\" says Tadjigul Begmetova, the founder of Turkmenistan Helsinki Foundation. \"But there is still no political life. There is no civil society, and it's impossible to create or register public organisations.\" New personality One noticeable change is that portraits of the previous leader hanging from every imaginable public space have been replaced by those of the incumbent. With his neatly combed shiny black hair, Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov's portraits hang in aircraft, taxis, hotel lobbies, conference halls, cafes and restaurants. He is a permanent fixture on state television, which shows government ministers bowing when shaking his hand and waving in sync as he boards a plane, or diligently taking notes as their president barks orders. In addition, Mr Berdimuhamedov writes books, rides horses, races cars and sings romantic songs. \"Berdimuhamedov grew up and made his political career under President Niyazov,\" said Tajigul Bermetova. \"At that time ministers were not allowed to travel so Berdimuhamedov is not familiar with any other form of governance. This is why he is now creating his own cult of personality.\" The Turkmen authorities have spent billions of dollars of public money on grand construction projects of little immediate benefit for the population, including a resort of luxury marble-fronted hotels on the Caspian Sea. Public healthcare standards remain low despite recent spending on new hospitals and medical equipment. According to a 2009 Wikileaks cable, people prefer the old Soviet hospitals because the new facilities lack adequately trained staff. The current president has reversed some of the more damaging policies of his predecessor, such as the decision to cut compulsory education from 10 to nine years. But there are not enough university places and many young students leave the country to study abroad. The president did allow the internet into the country - but access is tightly controlled. Websites such as Facebook and YouTube are banned, and private internet connections can cost up to $6,900 (£4,354) a month. In internet cafes, visitors have to show their passports and register in a logbook. \"Rigid censorship and virtually total control of electronic correspondence are rampant,\" said Farid Tukhbatulin, from the Austria-based rights group Turkmen Initiative for Human Rights. Turkmenistan remains largely closed to foreign media. Journalists are only allowed to visit when the authorities want publicity for public events such as industry conventions. Electing the 'king' But none of these issues are to be found on the presidential candidates' agendas. The seven candidates running against the president head government ministries or state-owned companies. But they have declared their loyalty to Mr Berdimuhamedov and stand no chance of beating him. Official Turkmen media has mentioned meetings held by presidential candidates but nothing compares to the scale of publicity enjoyed by Mr Berdimuhamedov. \"The meetings with the candidates were held in public halls where the president's portraits are hanging on the wall,\" said popular Turkmen blogger Annasoltan, who writes for neweurasia.net. \"In state companies and organisations, some bosses have openly said they are going to vote for the president, one of them even referred to the president as our king and called on the labour force to vote for him.\" The Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) says it will not be sending observers to monitor the elections. It said an observer mission would not add value because fundamental freedoms continued to be restricted. Some believe the only point of this election is to create the impression that Turkmenistan is abiding by international norms. That matters because with its abundant natural gas reserves, Turkmenistan is keen to diversify its export routes. BP ranks its natural gas reserves as the fourth largest in the world. Russia and China are the biggest buyers, but the EU is also seeking a share. In doing so it has been criticised by rights groups for doing business with one of the most repressive regimes in the world. \"The European Union in particular continues to press forward with a Partnership and Co-operation Agreement (PCA) with Turkmenistan, frozen since 1998 over human rights concerns, without requiring any human rights reforms in exchange,\" said Human Rights Watch in its World Report 2012. The report details a lack of basic freedoms, constant threats of government persecution of human rights defenders, and allegations of widespread torture, ill treatment and disappearances of people in custody. Back in Almaty, the Turkmen student who plans to go back home after finishing her studies does not believe there will be any changes after the elections. \"I think while all of those people with old Soviet mentality are alive, nothing will change,\" she said. \"It will take ages for Turkmenistan to get to the level of democracy that exists in other countries. But we have to keep trying.\"",

Surrey and Borders Partnership NHS Foundation Trust has now sent a letter to the park urging it change the name. Thorpe Park says the maze is not meant to be a realistic portrayal of a mental health institution. 'Outdated stereotypes' In the letter, Jo Young, who is director of quality at Surrey and Borders Partnership NHS Foundation Trust, writes: \"We accept that your Fright Nights are designed to appeal to people's sense of fun around Halloween - but unlike vampires, zombies, werewolves and other fictitious horror figures, people with mental illness are real... \"Misrepresenting them does cause offense, does reinforce old and outdated stereotypes of people who have experienced mental ill-health, and does reinforce stigma and discrimination.\" It continues: \"We regret that we have not approached you sooner about this attraction, but the fact that this has been open for eight years is not a good reason not to reflect on doing things differently in the future. \"We believe this would be the responsible thing to do: an act that is in the best interest of vulnerable people. \"We appeal to your humanity and kindness and ask that you rename this attraction and rethink this concept for your Fright Nights.\" The petition was started by Katie Sutton, who is a mental health nursing student at the University of Salford. 'Not deemed offensive' She said she first became aware of the maze through Twitter and wanted to take a \"stand against this sort of lazy and damaging stereotyping\". On 30 October she delivered a copy of the petition to the theme park while she was dressed as a zombie. The Asylum maze has been part of Thorpe Park's Fright Nights, which are held in October and November, for eight years. In a statement, the theme park near Chertsey previously said the maze was a very small element of an event aimed at adult visitors. It continued: \"It is not intended, nor is it deemed to be by those who have actually experienced it, to be in any way offensive or to be a realistic portrayal of a mental health or indeed any other institution.\" In September, supermarket chains Tesco and Asda withdrew two Halloween outfits - one called a \"mental patient fancy dress costume\" and the other called a \"psycho ward\" outfit - after they were also criticised for stigmatising people with mental illness.",

I was scrolling down my Facebook feed during a small break from my opera rehearsal when I saw my dad had posted the words, \"Goodnight sweet world.\" I thought to myself, \"This is odd.\" So I commented: \"Have you been hacked? Lol\" and I thought no more of it. Several hours later, when my rehearsal was over, I saw lots of missed calls on my phone from my mum and gran. I remember walking along the corridor and picking up a call from my mum who said, \"Where are you, lovey?\" \"I've just finished rehearsal, why?\" I replied. \"Your dad's gone,\" she said. My legs collapsed and I fell to the floor. Dad had been found by a bailiff that day at his house, our family home, in Lindale, Cumbria. A few days later, I went to meet the policeman who had been on duty at the time. I broke down in tears when he described how my dad had killed himself. The policeman explained that dad had been discovered by a bailiff intent on evicting him from the house, because of an unpaid debt. He told me dad had left a letter for the bailiff, which he had placed at the bottom of the stairs. It said: \"I'm in the first bedroom on the left at the top of the stairs.\" Dad also left a note for my sister and me. \"Jess and Sally, it breaks my heart to write this. This decision is nothing to do with you two. I love you with all my heart. I have been so unhappy in my personal life for so long that I cannot go on. Now that I am about to lose my house as well as my self-respect, I have decided to go.\" It was my parents' first home when they got married and the place where my sister and I grew up. The house is full of happy memories - of watching TV together on the ancient sofa and crowding around the table with relatives for Christmas dinner. Find out more About 15 years ago my parents divorced and my dad was rushed to hospital due to a tumour bursting through his kidney. He was given 12 months to live and a 15% chance of survival. Although his cancer was successfully managed, the treatment was painful and exhausting. He also had to pay £36,000 to my mother as part of the divorce settlement and £200 maintenance every month both to me and to my sister. In spite of his illness and divorce, dad was an upbeat person - he had a great sense of humour and always made light of every situation. He acted as a bit of an agony aunt for his friends, listening to their problems and giving advice. He organised community events such as bonfires and barbecues and loved cricket, rugby and the village pub. And all the time, he worked hard as a grounds-care specialist sales consultant. I organised a visit to dad's house through the bailiff. He met my sister and I there. \"You'll be shocked,\" he said. Inside I found bankruptcy letters, court letters and other notices on table tops, kitchen surfaces and stuffed in plastic Co-op bags. I went through them one by one. Until he died I hadn't realised my father had been in debt, let alone declared bankrupt. Three days earlier he had dropped me off in Glasgow and helped me move into a flat, ready to start the second year of my master's degree. He had stayed with me all day, helping me to unpack, and called me three times on his journey back home. It was the last time I saw him. He had never stopped supporting me and my sister financially, even though - as I discovered - he had been sliding into debt for 10 years. It all began in 2008 when he missed a council tax payment. Where to get help If you are feeling emotionally distressed and would like details of organisations which offer advice and support, visit BBC Action Line or you can call for free, at any time, to hear recorded information 0800 066 066 When he failed to settle up, South Lakeland District Council billed him for a year upfront. This brought the debt to £1,473. Over the next few years, the debt steadily grew as dad struggled to make ends meet. By 2014, he owed the council £9,332. He also owed smaller amounts to American Express, HSBC and United Utilities North West, bringing the total to £11,738. It was then that the council petitioned to make my dad bankrupt. He was declared bankrupt on 10 March 2014 at Barrow-in-Furness County Court, and at that point his debt started growing at an incredible rate. Straight away he was charged £3,800 in something called \"statutory interest\", which took his debt to about £15,500. But that was just the start. Over the next three years my dad actually paid £15,000 to the trustees appointed to collect the debt - the accounting and consultancy firm, BDO - but over the same period the bill from the trustees grew to £72,000. Sadly he never sought financial advice and never spoke to me or my sister. He was a very private person and would have seen asking for help as a failure - as a man, as much as anything else. I think he buried his head in the sand, put the letters to one side and tried to carry on life as normal. How did a debt of £11,738 rise to £72,000? Meanwhile, the council just kept sending more letters. The first person who ever turned up at his house to try to talk to him about his debt was a bailiff. And once dad was declared bankrupt, the sum quickly rose to one that he could never pay back. Unlike my father, I tried seeking advice. I set about calling agencies experienced in helping people with debt problems. They just told me that my dad's case was unusual and implied that I must have the wrong figures and details. Eventually, I decided to email my local MP, Tim Farron, who got in touch with South Lakeland District Council, who then got in touch with BDO, the trustees. I also emailed the bailiff to tell him about my dad's cancer and he said he would wait until I had finished my master's degree before clearing the house. Soon after that, BDO told me that they were willing to reduce the debt owed by my dad's estate to £35,869. Then, a little while later, they cut it to £25,100. It felt like a process of haggling. If only they'd negotiated with my dad, he might still be here today. Even the new, reduced debt is not a sum my sister and I can pay, however. I am a student and my sister is unemployed. We can't afford legal advice, so it looks as though we will lose the house we grew up in, as well as our dad. I would like to know why the council decided to take my dad down the route of petitioning to make him bankrupt, when other routes were available. How did South Lakeland District Council handle the case? I understand that my dad didn't reply to the council's letters and that must have been frustrating. But if a client has been a good citizen, paid his council tax all his life and then suddenly stops, there must be something wrong. I believe that in those circumstances the council should try to reach out to that person. Sadly, suicide rates for men over 50 are increasing. This is a generation that doesn't always find it easy to talk about problems. People should be aware of this, and try to talk to them instead. If not, this will happen again. And no young person should be left without their father because of a few thousand pounds of debt. Michael Fisher, revenues and benefits manager for South Lakeland District Council, told the BBC: \"Now we have the full picture of Mr Hurst's situation, we do regret starting the bankruptcy process. We would not have taken this course of action had we had the full picture from the outset. Mr Hurst did not co-operate and the reason his fees are as high as they are is because of the amount of time and effort which has been spent on trying to recover the monies that were outstanding. Really, I think Mr Hurst's case teaches us all a lesson - if anybody is experiencing any financial difficulties, they should speak to their creditors at the first opportunity. The earlier you speak to your creditors, the easier it is to resolve. I don't think burying your head in the sand is ever a solution.\" The trustees, BDO, said they kept \"detailed time records\" for every case they handled and that many of the charges on Nigel Hurst's bill were \"legal and regulatory matters\" that did not necessarily bring them any financial benefit. They have now offered to waive their fees in Nigel Hurst's case. Join the conversation - find us on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and Twitter.",

            "input": "By Reevel AldersonBBC Scotland's social affairs correspondent The charity said the reasons were not clear, although greater awareness of sexual abuse, arising from historical cases, may be a cause. It said this showed the Scottish legal system must become more sensitive. It has called for a \"bold approach\" to reform the way child sex abuse cases are handled. The figures were published as the NSPCC launched its third How Safe are our Children? report measuring the extent and nature of child abuse across the UK. Scottish government figures showed that in 2013-14 there were 3,742 sexual offences against children including rape, sexual assault and grooming - a 10-year high. Call for reform The charity said that in the following year, 2014-15, the number of contacts to its helpline from adults in Scotland worried a child was being sexually abused rose by 19% from 341 to 407. Almost half (203) were considered so serious they were immediately referred to the police or children's services. The NSPCC said it was not clear why the number of recorded offences had risen. But it said more victims may have the courage to come forward following the reporting of historical cases and the police may also have improved their recording methods. The NSPCC said the report showed \"the pressing need to tackle child abuse\". It revealed: The charity praised the Scottish government for establishing an inquiry into historical abuse in children's institutions. But Matt Forde, NSPCC Scotland's head of national services, said as more children spoke out, the Scottish legal system needed to develop a more sensitive and effective response to ensuring justice was served. He said: \"The nation has been horrified by the revelations of decades of horrendous child abuse. But while the Scottish government's inquiry is historical, child abuse is not. \"For too many children, our court system adds further trauma to their earlier experiences of abuse. We need a bold approach to reform our legal system.\" Mr Forde added: \"Today's report shows just how far we've all got to go to make Scotland the best place for every child to grow up in. \"The increase in children returning to child protection registers indicates we are failing to protect them first time round. And, significantly, more vulnerable children are living in unhappy circumstances, without support or intervention. \"Children's services can't protect these children on their own. A wider pool of professionals need to be involved in promoting children's health and well-being if we are to get it right for every child.\" Scandinavian system A Scottish Courts Service report published in March agreed changes were necessary. It said: \"In recent decades the number of child and vulnerable witnesses being called to give evidence has increased dramatically. \"They have, however, been introduced into a system that was ill-equipped to accommodate them, with the result that there have been a series of adjustments to the law and practice that, at best, only partially address their needs.\" The NSPCC said a Scandinavian system, called Barnehus, had helped free children from further suffering, allowing the therapeutic support they needed to begin more quickly. In specialist centres, designed to be non-threatening and reassuring for victims, a team including a criminal investigator and prosecutor, a health expert, a senior social worker, a judicial counsellor and forensic expert worked together to support the child. The aim was to help victims through possible trauma and to make sense of official procedures to reduce long-term problems.",

            "input": "The Office of the Independent Adjudicator (OIA) has released a number of complaints students have made about the impact of Covid on their studies. They include concerns over disrupted learning, accommodation and missed practical elements of courses. The cases show the \"complex situations\" the pandemic brings, the OIA says. The OIA is an independent body that reviews student complaints about universities and other higher education providers in England and Wales under the Higher Education Act 2004. Its complaints scheme is offered free to students. In 2020, the OIA received 2,604 complaints, 500 of which related to the impact of the coronavirus pandemic. Among the complainants was an international medical student who had been studying at an undisclosed university and paying course fees of £38,000. The student was awarded £5,000 after the university stopped all clinical placements as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, meaning the individual had lost out on practical experience. The OIA said it was awarded due to the \"severe disappointment and inconvenience\" the student had experienced because the final year of studies had been \"less valuable\" than expected. A healthcare student has also been awarded £1,500 for the \"inconvenience and significant disappointment\" they faced due to the cancellation of a lab-based research project as part of their Master's degree course. The student had been moved to remote learning by the university in the wake of the Covid-19 outbreak. The student said this meant missing out on the practical techniques that employers looked for, disadvantaging them when applying for jobs. The OIA concluded that while the institution had taken a \"number of steps\" to ensure students were not disadvantaged academically, it could not deliver the promised lab work. Another student was given £200 after missing out on 14 hours of learning time because of industrial action that took place over November and December 2019, along with disruption caused by coronavirus. And another case saw the lifting of an international student's accommodation penalty, imposed after they were found to be breaching social-distancing rules when a friend visited their room. The student, who has a mental health condition, was excluded from the accommodation despite giving reasons for the friend's visit. The OIA said it considered the penalty \"harsh\" and that the university had agreed to reduce the penalty to a formal warning. Some complaints rejected But not all complaints were upheld by the adjudicator. One student was not given a refund by the watchdog after paying university accommodation fees in three instalments before the first lockdown was enforced. The student had asked to be refunded fees paid in March 2020 after the institution got in touch to say they should consider returning home. The university had decided not to ask any students to pay the third instalment when it became due in April, but refused to refund the amount the student had paid for the six-week period before that. The OIA ruled that the university had adopted a \"fair approach\" in a \"very challenging\" situation by giving the option for students to stay at the accommodation during the lockdown. Two other students did not have their complaints over issues around teaching arrangements and exam-marking criteria upheld. 'Challenging situations' Independent adjudicator Felicity Mitchell said: \"The case summaries reflect the hugely challenging and complex situations that students and providers have faced as a result of the pandemic. \"Where possible we try to reach a settlement, and we are pleased that in many cases providers and students have been very open to this. \"The summaries illustrate our approach to deciding what is fair and reasonable in these kinds of situations. We hope they will be helpful to providers and students.\" The group Universities UK says students should \"speak to their universities in the first instance\" if they have a complaint. A spokeswoman added: \"Universities are developing plans to support students to have the fullest possible experience when they return to campuses. \" In February, England's Universities Minister Michelle Donelan announced an extra £50m for student hardship funds, on top of £20m agreed in December, in recognition of the disruption students have faced during the pandemic. Her announcement came as the vice-chancellors of seven universities called for the interest on student loans in England to be scrapped for 15 months.",

The panel - from a mothballed plant room on the Mander Centre - was rotten with corroded fixings and may not have been maintained for almost 20 years. Jurors sitting in Oldbury recorded a narrative verdict on Friday. Midlands Live: Birmingham Commonwealth Games bid 'not fully compliant' Ms Martin, 29, who worked at the University of Wolverhampton, died on 23 February after she was struck by the piece of wood from the lid of a redundant water tank, that fell six storeys. Three clasps attached to the tank were found to be \"rotten and weather-damaged\" during an inspection which found that the lid had come away, jurors were told. Jurors concluded: \"The large, heavy panel which struck Ms Martin became detached from the plant room roof of the building due to strong winds, caused by Storm Doris. \"It became detached due to the absence of maintenance which had resulted in bad rot, corroded and defective fixtures.\" The inquest was told Ms Martin was killed just weeks after getting engaged. Her fiancé Shaun Lee said they were planning a family and \"she had so much to live for\". The jury had previously heard the panel was blown around \"like a piece of paper\" for up for 20 seconds. After the verdict, Emma Whitting, assistant coroner for the Black Country, told Ms Martin's family attending the hearing: \"Tahnie was just embarking on a new, exciting phase of her life, with a job she loved and a marriage planned. \"It was all so suddenly and so cruelly taken away from her by a piece of rotten timber, making its way on to an ordinary shopping street.\" The coroner is now sending a prevention of future deaths report to the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors, to address the apparent lack of requirement for surveyors to indicate building areas which have not been accessed as part of a survey. A separate health and safety investigation by Wolverhampton City Council is continuing. Mike Hatt, executive partner at Cushman & Wakefield, which manages the Mander Centre, said: \"We are taking this incident extremely seriously and have fully cooperated with all the investigating authorities and will continue to do so.\" The University of Wolverhampton added Ms Martin was \"hugely missed\".

They happened during separate trips to two locations - one near Moffat in southern Scotland, and one on the Caledonian Canal in Inverness. The four-year sentence will start on 14 August, at the end of the punishment part of a five-year jail term Talbot is already serving for previous sex offences. Sheriff Nikola Stewart said the former This Morning presenter had taken advantage of the innocence of his victims. 'Utterly unsuspecting' She told Talbot the boys \"all trusted and all liked you\". Sheriff Stewart added: \"They were keen to go on the camping trips and sailing trips that you organised, both informally and as official school trips. \"That trust and affection was grossly abused by you on repeated occasions as you preyed upon these young boys - some away from home and away from parental care for the first time, and all utterly unsuspecting of the sexual threat you posed to them.\" Talbot was a regular on the floating weather map in Liverpool's Albert Dock for ITV's This Morning show during the late 1980s and early 1990s. At the time of the attacks, he was a biology teacher at a school in the Manchester area and took boys away on camping and boating trips. During the trial, a succession of witnesses, now men in their 50s who cannot be named for legal reasons, told how Talbot abused his position of trust. One man told the court he was indecently assaulted as a teenage boy after a visit to a pub on a camping trip left him \"very much the worse for wear\". A further witness said he was left \"petrified\" when Talbot indecently assaulted him on a trip to the Caledonian Canal in 1979. Stone Roses frontman Ian Brown, 54, who was not an alleged victim, also gave evidence at the trial and said he had never forgotten the moment Talbot invited one of his young friends to sleep in his tent on a school camping trip. Talbot was previously jailed for five years at Manchester Crown Court in 2015 for the indecent assault of two 14-year-old boys. 'Bravery of victims' NSPCC Scotland described Talbot as \"a prolific abuser who carried out a series of attacks on children in his care\". A spokesman for the charity said: \"Thanks to the bravery of his victims, he has again been brought to justice. \"Abuse ruins childhoods. Talbot used his position of trust as a teacher to prey on his victims and the attacks he carried out will have had long-lasting effects on them into adulthood. \"We hope the sentence imposed on him will help his victims finally overcome what happened to them. \"This case shows once again how important it is that those who have suffered abuse are able to come forward and see justice done.\"",

            "input": "By Stephanie HegartyPopulation correspondent If everyone in the world had one small bottle of sanitiser we would need 385 million litres of the stuff. But that's not a lot compared to what healthcare professionals will get through during the coronavirus pandemic. The World Health Organization (WHO) expects them to need 2.9 billion litres of sanitiser per month. That's about 35 billion litres per year. Before coronavirus, the world produced just under three billion litres per year, according market analysts Arizton Advisory and Intelligence. And that perhaps explains why there is now a problem getting hold of it. On Amazon, if you try buying alcohol-based sanitiser - the type recommended by the WHO - you'll find all of the usual brands are sold out. Here in the UK, just a few days ago only one seller seemed to have any in stock. A 500ml bottle was priced at £30 ($35) - at least 10 times what it would have been in February. It's since been reduced to £20, but that is still about seven times pre-pandemic prices. It's easy to accuse sellers like these of price-gouging and many reviews underneath the listing did just that. But the company selling it, Herts Tools, says it's not that simple. \"We've been getting an unfair bashing really,\" said the friendly man who answered the phone, Paul Stephenson. \"There are people out there saying we're taking the mickey but I can assure you we're not. \"We're in a position where we're making enough profit margin on the hand sanitiser just to keep ourselves afloat.\" The company usually sells and rents tools to the construction industry and it only started selling sanitiser because customers were requesting it. But it has struggled to get hold of supplies and the cost is rising every day. \"I can't even guarantee what I paid today I'm going to pay tomorrow,\" says Stephenson. And that's because the price of the key ingredient - alcohol - has increased dramatically. The sanitiser Herts Tools has been selling is made by a UK-based skincare products company called Zidac Laboratories. Its director, Jurica Weissbarth, has been fielding a lot of calls lately. Zidac can make 150,000 bottles of hand sanitiser a day, but for the past two weeks the production line has been down. It hasn't been able to get ethanol, the alcohol it puts in its sanitiser, and which has to make up at least 60% for it to kill viruses (and bacteria) effectively. Weissbarth used to pay around £700 ($800) for a tonne of ethanol - enough for 32,000 bottles of hand gel. Last week a new supplier offered him a tonne for £10,000 - more than 10 times the ordinary price. He politely declined. But this week he was in celebratory mood after buying a batch on Tuesday for only three or four times more than usual. The BBC called several distributors of industrial alcohol. One woman who answered the phone was close to tears; the company she worked for was closing down due to lack of stock. Others were so busy that staff were overwhelmed and couldn't talk. One website said requests for orders had gone from 300 a day to more than 6,000. None were taking new orders. If sanitisers aren't made from ethanol, they're made from isopropyl alcohol, also called IPA. There are a limited number of companies that produce these types of alcohol on an industrial scale. The biggest producers are in China, France, Germany, the Netherlands, the UK and the US. In France the government has ordered all IPA made in the country to stay there. Other countries could easily follow suit. \"That is pretty extreme in Europe, where we are supposed to be all as one,\" says Steven Willekes from chemical supplier DutCH2 in the Netherlands. He thinks any country that doesn't have its own supply of these alcohols could run out of sanitiser very soon. And that explains why drinks companies such as Pernod Ricard, which makes Absolut Vodka, and Diageo, which makes Johnnie Walker whisky - and other smaller companies from London to New York, to Manila in the Philippines - are now providing alcohol to be used for making sanitiser, or are planning to make it themselves. The Indian government has expressly asked the alcoholic drinks industry and the sugarcane industry to provide ethanol to hand sanitiser companies. Chad Friese of the Chippawa Valley Ethanol Company in the US says there is enough alcohol out there to make an awful lot of sanitiser, it's just being used in different industries. His factory is running at full capacity and is sending as much as possible to the sanitiser industry, but it has other commitments too. \"I think there's plenty of production it's just not going into the right channels right now. Somebody that's producing alcohol for Diageo or somebody like that, they have a commitment to send it to them and not to someone who is making hand sanitiser,\" he says. \"It's just about getting the supply to the right people.\" So when Britain's third-richest man promised to build hand sanitiser production plants in the UK, Germany and France within days, and to supply hospitals free of charge, it would have been logical to wonder where he would get the alcohol to fill his production lines. Well, he shouldn't have too much of a problem. Sir Jim Ratcliffe owns Ineos, one of Europe's biggest manufacturers of both ethanol and IPA. Update 4 April 2020: The original version of this story gave an incorrect figure for the quantity of hand sanitiser produced annually, prior to the coronavirus pandemic, as a result of a mistake in the report by Arizton Advisory and Intelligence.

            "input": "The Tigray People's Liberation Front - which previously controlled the government in the northern region - said it had carried out a pre-emptive strike, when the world's attention was focused on the US election, as it believed that it was about to be attacked by federal troops. Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed retaliated by ordering a military operation which culminated with the overthrow of the local government, forcing the TPLF to retreat to mountains to fight what it calls \"invaders\". It has been difficult to get accurate information about the conflict because of a communication blackout in the region. The accounts of the soldiers highlight ethnic divisions in the Ethiopian military, with some Tigrayan soldiers accused of siding with the TPLF. Sergeant Bulcha: I was at a camp near Adigrat city, near the border with Eritrea. At around 23.30 on 3 November, I, and other soldiers, received text messages from our comrades at the base in Agula town - about 30km (18 miles) north-east of the Tigray capital, Mekelle - saying: \"We are surrounded. If you can come and rescue us, come.\" Not long thereafter, our camp was also surrounded, with hundreds of TPLF special forces and militias having taken up positions outside. Some of the Tigrayan soldiers - who had left our camp earlier - were with them. We went to the colonel who held the key to the storeroom where our weapons were kept. We told him to open it. He refused, saying he did not have orders to do so. He was a Tigrayan, and we suspected he was part of the plan to attack us. Some soldiers argued with him to open the storeroom; others tried to break open the door. Eventually, we got our weapons. The TPLF forces were already shooting by now. We took up our positions, inside and outside the camp, using rocks, barrels, walls as shields. It was around 01:00 when the battle started. There was a distance of no more than 50m (164ft) between us and them. We killed more than 100 of them. They killed 32 of us. In my unit, one died and nine were wounded. Most of our deaths were caused by the Tigrayan soldiers who had defected to the other side. The battle lasted for about 11 hours until noon when our senior commanders ordered us to stop fighting, return our weapons to the storeroom, and to go back to our rooms. We obeyed. Shortly thereafter the priests and elders of the town came. They negotiated a surrender. At around 16:00, we were ordered to hand over all our army belongings to the TPLF forces. Again, we obeyed. Then, we were told to collect our personal belongings and made to climb into lorries. We took our wounded with us. We were forced to leave the dead behind. 'I gave a false name' The TPLF forces transported us to one of their bases in the town of Abiy Addi, 150km south-west of Adigrat. The wounded soldiers got no medical treatment throughout this period. Each morning there was a roll call. We had to give our names, ethnicity and role in the army. I used to give a false name. This was like a desert area, and it was very, very hot. We had little water to drink. Every morning, we were given tea, with no sugar, in a plastic water bottle that had been cut in half. Our food for the day were two small loaves of bread. Soldiers from other bases were also brought to Abiy Addi. They told us they too had been attacked. Some of them surrendered without fighting; others put up more resistance than us, fighting for four days. Kalashnikovs, heavy weapons and even short-range rockets were used in the battle. Some of our soldiers fled to Eritrea. 'Uniforms burned' After about two weeks, the TPLF forces gave us three options - join them, live in Tigray as civilians or go back to our homes. We took the last option. But our senior commanders, radio operators, female soldiers and those who could use heavy weaponry were not given the option. They were kept at Abiy Addi, thousands of them. The rest of us were told to take off our uniforms. We refused, saying they could kill us but we would not do it - that our military code did not allow it; that our uniform was our pride. In the end there was an agreement. We would take off our uniforms, and they would all be burnt [so they could not be used by others]. The TPLF recorded the burning on camera. They took our personal belongings - rings, watches, money. More on the Tigray crisis: It was at around 15:00 on a Friday that we were all made to climb into lorries. Again, we took our wounded with us, but there were none in my lorry. There were about 500 of us in each lorry, and I'd say about 9,000 soldiers in all the lorries. We sat in the lorries crammed until we left Abiy Addi at around 23:00. We travelled for hours on back roads until the TPLF special forces - who were escorting our lorries - dropped us off on the banks of the Tekeze River so we could go to neighbouring Amhara state. The lorries came at different times. We all broke into groups and crossed the river in boats. About six hours had passed before my group reached the other side. We then walked for about 16 hours to reach Sekota town in Amhara. We are now in a police station compound in the town. We are being well fed and well looked after. The wounded are being treated in hospital, more than three weeks after the attack. I heard that some of them died on the way, and their bodies were left behind. Corporal Ibrahim Hassan: I have been in the army for about eight years. I was also in Adigrat, but at another camp. I was the guard on duty on 3 November, watching the camp from 22:00 to midnight. Some of the soldiers were already sleeping. Right after I finished my shift I heard gunshots. I had no idea what was happening. I went to see. TPLF special forces and militia had already surrounded our camp, and they entered it. Most of us were unarmed. They ordered the soldiers, including myself, to surrender. We refused, saying federal troops could not surrender to regional troops. But in the end we agreed on the orders of our seniors, who were Tigrayans. We were kept in the camp until 6 November. The TPLF forces then transported us in lorries to a small town, Idaga Hamus, which is about 26km from where we were. We were kept there for a week and then taken to Abiy Addi. There, we found many people loyal to the federal government, from the police, army and air force. We were divided into groups, and kept in three different places - a military camp, a training school and a compound. There was no water to shower, little water to drink. It was as though we were left to die in that heat. We slept in small rooms in very crammed conditions. Then more than three weeks later, we were given three options - if we were married with children in Tigray, we could live as civilians, or we could join the TPLF or we could leave. Most of us chose the third option. But radio operators, those who could use heavy weaponry and senior commanders had to stay behind. 'Jewellery stolen' I am a radio operator but I lied about my role so I was able to leave. My guess is that we left 3,000 to 4,000 behind, and close to 9,000 of us managed to leave. We were put in about 28 lorries and were driven for hours, through desert areas, until we reached the Tekeze River. The journey was very difficult. Some soldiers fell off the lorries and broke their legs. Others got sick. But we are now in Sekota. Some of the soldiers resent the fact that there was no rescue operation, but they understand that the situation was difficult. This was an unprecedented attack on the federal army. Soldiers who were at other bases reported that the TPLF forces stole watches and necklaces from dead soldiers. They even took their uniforms, and left the bodies behind naked. In the eight years I was in Tigray, I never thought this would happen. Just a week earlier, we were helping farmers to harvest their crops and to fight a locust invasion.",

The 21-year-old from London spoke to Radio 1 Newsbeat after Lily Allen kicked off the conversation earlier this week. \"It's still such a taboo subject but it's something most people do. So why wouldn't we talk about it with pride and without guilt?\" the singer asked listeners. Ruth agrees. \"Pleasure is something that benefits your health physically and mentally - it's a shame that women feel like it's something they can't do or mention. \"There's a lot of internalised misogyny so women feel like they should not be seeking their own pleasure,\" she adds. Ruth says she's started feeling more comfortable speaking to her friends about masturbation in the past year or so, and it's great to have role models like Lily Allen speak out and advocate female pleasure. \"We're taught in school that male arousal is normal and natural, but we're never taught about female arousal to the same extent,\" she tells Newsbeat. \"We're taught that women have sex for reproduction and nothing more.\" Lily puts it characteristically plainly: \"If you're hungry, you don't wait until your partner gets home to have a slice of toast.\" \"When a woman talks about masturbation, it's always: 'Well you're clearly not getting sex from a male partner so you must be undesirable - or disappointed with your partner's ability. It's lazy, archaic and just not true,\" she says. \"There's a reason our bodies are made as they were. Women are given clitorises and G-spots - because they're there to have orgasms with. \"You can do it yourself and then enjoy it with your partner. It's quite a co-dependent attitude to pleasure - that we have to rely on someone else - when we're perfectly capable of doing it ourselves.\" When it comes to things that make some people feel anxious or ashamed, Lily very much believes \"you need to get it out in the open\". She wrote about sex and her discovery of sex toys very candidly in her 2018 autobiography. She's now put her name to brand of vibrators and makes it known her title is \"Chief Liberation Officer\". The 35-year-old admits she doesn't know whether it's getting easier for younger women to talk about sex. \"Certainly amongst my generation it isn't - and the older you get, the more inhibited people get about talking about masturbation,\" she believes. She also wishes she'd had more open conversations about masturbation when she was younger. \"I felt very alone and not very well-versed in this subject. And then going into my 20s, it felt like it was something everybody else was doing but nobody talked about and I didn't engage with it. \"I felt I was objectified and a vessel for male pleasure when it came to my sex in my adolescence. \"It wasn't until I committed to masturbation, self love and ultimately sex toys that I considered my own needs. And I'm in a much healthier place now at the grand old age of 35. \"I wish I'd come to terms with it much sooner, it would've saved me a lot of headaches.\" Follow Newsbeat on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.

            "input": "By Sanchia Berg and Meirion JonesBBC Today programme and BBC Panorama NSPCC chief Peter Wanless also said there should be a duty on institutions like hospitals, children's homes and boarding schools to report abuse. The charity had previously opposed all forms of so-called mandatory reporting. New inquiries into child abuse could consider possible law changes. Mr Wanless, the chief executive of the child protection charity, is heading a review looking at concerns that the Home Office failed to act on allegations of child sex abuse contained in a dossier handed over in the 1980s by former Tory MP Geoffrey Dickens. Another independent inquiry, looking at historical sexual abuse and institutions' protection of children, will be led by retired senior judge Elizabeth Butler-Sloss. Meanwhile, a former West Mercia Police officer has told the BBC he saw documents in the 1990s suggesting the existence of a paedophile network involving public officials and clergy. Terry Shutt was involved in the 1992 arrest of Peter Righton, a founding member of the Paedophile Information Exchange who was convicted of importing child pornography. Mr Shutt, a former detective constable, told the BBC that five suitcases of letters found when Righton's home was raided pointed to a paedophile network but he was \"confident that the main link into the establishment\" was not followed up. The Metropolitan Police said it could not comment on the case but a police source from the time said it was \"nonsense\" to say the investigation was closed down. Mr Shutt's comments are among a number of claims relating to the alleged activities of child abusers dating back to the 1960s. Home Secretary Theresa May has said Baroness Butler-Sloss's review will examine the case for mandatory reporting. Historical child abuse claims: Key questions answered Why has this come up now? Labour MP Simon Danczuk last week called on Leon Brittan to say what the then home secretary did with documents he was passed in the 1980s containing allegations about powerful figures and paedophilia. What happened to the files? Lord Brittan passed them to Home Office officials and a 2013 review found the minister had acted appropriately. What did the papers allege? The allegations, compiled by Tory MP Geoffrey Dickens, were set to \"blow the lids off\" the lives of powerful child abusers, the MP's son has said. The late Mr Dickens said he planned to expose eight such figures. Read more: Historical child abuse claims explained 'Priority' Mr Wanless told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: \"If someone consciously knows that there is a crime committed against a child, and does nothing about it because they put the reputation of the organisation above the safety of that child, that should be a criminal offence.\" The NSPCC would be open to discussions about what form the new law should take, he added. Alan Wardle, head of policy at the NSPCC, told BBC Breakfast its priority is to criminalise the \"act of cover up\". \"What we've got to do is find a way that people protect children first and ensure that their reputation is not the primary concern,\" he said. \"That's a problem we've seen in some of these institutions, the institutional cover up where child abuse has been swept under the carpet and not dealt with. \"People have been quietly moved on to abuse children in other institutions.\" Alan Wood, president of the Association of Directors of Children's Services said he would like a system which is \"much more open\". He said: \"We're against anything that makes the system more complex, we have to give much more confidence to people in the system. \"I'm not sure the first step is to move towards mandatory requirement for reporting because people need to be confident that they can report effectively, people need to be confident that they're reporting the right thing.\" Timeline: Historical child abuse claims 1982-84: Conservative MP Geoffrey Dickens says he plans to expose eight prominent figures as paedophiles. He also gives files to then Home Secretary Leon Brittan, who passes them to officials August 2013: The Home Office says copies of Mr Dickens's material were \"not retained\" but that Lord Brittan acted appropriately in dealing with the allegations 7 July 2014: Lord Brittan dismisses claims he failed to act appropriately. Meanwhile, Home Secretary Theresa May announces two reviews of historical child sex abuse allegations - one into the way public bodies handled claims and the other into the Home Office's handling of paedophilia allegations Full timeline 'Growing consensus' In many other countries, including the US, Australia and France, people can be prosecuted for covering up abuse. In Britain, child protection organisations - including the NSPCC - have traditionally felt there was no need for such a law. The charity said boarding schools, residential care homes and hospitals should have to pass information on to the police or the local authority, rather than just investigate themselves. Liz Dux, a lawyer with Slater & Gordon, which represents 176 victims of serial abuser Jimmy Savile, said the NSPCC's turnaround is \"welcome and significant\". Last year Sir Keir Starmer, the former director of public prosecutions for England and Wales, became the first senior legal figure to call for a law which would require all institutions to report allegations to an outside body. He said: \"There is now a growing consensus that mandatory reporting should be introduced. This shift in position is significant. The real challenge now is to devise a model that works in practice.\" Peter Saunders, chief executive of the National Association for People Abused in Childhood, said \"I think this is a really significant U-turn for the NSPCC and hugely welcome - it's a big step in the right direction.\" In the last year churches and the children's commissioner have expressed their support for mandatory reporting. Education Secretary Michael Gove was opposed to it but said victims had made a compelling case for it, and he is currently reviewing the law. In the meantime, Liberal Democrat peer Lady Walmsley has proposed an amendment to the Serious Crimes Bill, to be discussed later this month, which would make reporting of sexual abuse or physical abuse mandatory for all institutions.",

            "input": "By Owen Bennett-JonesBBC News Iraq and Syria are trapped in intractable civil wars. Egypt is run by its army. Libya has all but disintegrated. But in the midst of all the Middle Eastern chaos, Tunisia has somehow kept its democratic development on track. Since the overthrow of President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali in 2011 the country has held two competitive and peaceful general elections. Strong forces oppose Tunisian democracy. In March this year jihadists killed 22 people in Tunisia's National Museum. Three months later 38 were murdered in the Sousse beach massacre. But while the jihadist challenge has been both deadly and spectacular, those using violence have enjoyed little popular support. Arguably, a greater threat to political reform has come from the divisions between three powerful elements of Tunisian society: All three groups have had good reason to fear each other. Mutual mistrust In the post-Ben Ali period the Islamists in Ennahda, Tunisia's version of the Muslim Brotherhood, had genuine anxieties about being thrown back into the prisons from which thousands of their activists emerged during the Arab Spring. For their part, the secularists feared that, whatever the Islamists said in public, secretly they wanted to create an Islamic state in which European lifestyles would become impossible. Meanwhile, the elite families who benefited from decades of cronyism in the Ben Ali era, worried about being held accountable for their ill-gotten gains. Some Tunisians have accused the old elite of wanting to defend their economic interests by restoring paternalistic, authoritarian rule. Anti-terror legislation, for example, has been used to close down civil liberties. And yet, somehow, despite all the problems and obstacles, Tunisia has remained in the vanguard of democratic development in the Middle East. Peace Prize The Nobel Committee has given the credit to the National Dialogue Quartet. Drawn from four civil society groups - unions, lawyers, employers and human rights activists - it became active at a crucial moment in 2013 when the assassination of two prominent, left-wing politicians threatened to spill over into a broad civil conflict. The murders were taken as a sign that the Islamists in the country would stop at nothing to achieve political dominance. The anti-Islamist opposition walked out of the constitutional assembly. It was at this point that the Quartet set about the business of solving Tunisians' differences through politics not violence. Tunisia's National Dialogue Quartet The surprise winner of this year's Nobel Peace Prize has played a key role in mediating between the different parties in the country's post-Arab Spring government. The Quartet is credited with creating a national dialogue between the country's Islamist and secular coalition parties amid deepening political and economic crisis in 2013. Tunisia's revolution - also known as the Jasmine Revolution - began in late 2010 and led to the ousting of President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali in January 2011, followed by the country's first free democratic elections. Kaci Kullman Five, the chair of the Nobel peace committee, said the Quartet's role in Tunisia's democratisation was \"directly comparable to the peace conferences mentioned by Alfred Nobel in his will\". Nobel Peace Prize winners through the years Africa's Nobel Peace Prize winners New constitution The mediators only succeeded because of the commitment of other Tunisians to pluralism and the democratic process. Unlike its counterpart in Egypt, for example, the Tunisian army has never had political ambitions. And during the political crisis of 2013, the Islamists, disproving all their critics' predictions, set aside their election victory. After protracted negotiations managed by the Quartet, Ennahda gave up power so as to achieve a broader political settlement. Tunisia's transitional period culminated in 2014 with agreement on a new constitution and the election of a coalition government that included all the major political forces in the country. Challenges ahead The Arab Spring began in Tunisia when a street vendor, Mohamed Bouazizi, became so angry at being unable to make even a modest living that he set himself alight. Many in Tunisia's relatively well-educated population remain deeply frustrated that they cannot fulfil their potential and provide for their families. Tunisia's Islamist and secular politicians are both learning that, for many in the electorate, the question of what role religion should play in politics is a second order concern. For most voters the most pressing issues are the poor provision of basic government services, the uncertain security situation and, most crucially of all, the lack of jobs. The economic and political challenges ahead are real. But for the moment Tunisians can look back at the last four years - and at their Quartet's Nobel Prize - and celebrate the fact that, so far, compared to everyone else in the region, they have managed to keep the ideals of the Arab Spring alive.",

            "input": "By Marie-Louise ConnollyBBC News NI Health Correspondent Another Tuesday in Northern Ireland's health service when the emergency departments are in recovery mode. Many local healthcare staff say that turning recovery areas into wards, battling breaches of the 12-hour waiting time target and calling in extra staff is becoming the norm rather than the exception at weekends, On Monday, the Belfast Health Trust narrowly missed declaring another major incident at Belfast's Royal Victoria Hospital. Or did they simply call it by another name? On Wednesday 8 January, senior managers called in extra staff and opened more beds to deal with a spike in patients. This was declared a major incident. Less than two months later on Monday 24 February, once again senior managers took the decision to call in extra staff and additional beds were opened. The latter, however, was called an \"escalation plan\". What is the difference? The build-up began last Friday. Again almost all of the health trusts were reporting that emergency departments were extremely busy. Perhaps, we should expect nothing different. Critically, it appears that lessons were not learned from the previous times when there were too few staff, not enough beds and people were attending when they should not have been. While we are told to refer to these areas now as emergency departments, it is difficult not to refer to them as A&Es, in other words, for anything and everything. On Saturday and Sunday the pressure began to build. Beds could not be found and some staff members in the Belfast, Northern and Western health trusts said some patients were discharged prematurely because there were no beds. The Northern Ireland Ambulance Service said it had taken 98 patients to the Royal Victoria Hospital on Sunday. That was more than on the two previous Sundays. As the BBC revealed, on Monday, at about 17:00 GMT, 30 people had been waiting on trolleys some since 22:00 GMT on Sunday night. There were also more than 100 people in the waiting area. By 21:00 GMT on Monday, that number had fallen to 15 patients waiting on trolleys. In the Northern Trust, Antrim Area Hospital was under similar pressure. One source told the BBC that nursing staff were transferred from Holywell Hospital which deals with patients who have mental health problems. Nurses were left to cope there as best they could. Extra beds were opened in what was once the old A&E area, now a GP assessment area. This forms part of the winter planning system. According to staff, the GP assessment unit is working well and has helped remove some of the pressure from the emergency department. In the Western Health Trust, the South West Acute Hospital experienced similar difficulties. On Monday morning about 20 patients were waiting to be allocated a bed, of those, five had breached the 12-hour waiting time. Northern Ireland's waiting times are dire. Last year, the College of Emergency Medicine said they were the worst in the UK. In January, 71% of those who arrived at accident and emergency were seen within four hours. A total of 159 people waited more than 12 hours. While the hospitals may be located in different areas, the problems are similar. Despite all the promises from Transforming Your Care (the road map for change in Northern Ireland's health care), very little has been delivered on the ground. Rightly or wrongly, the public are still attending their emergency departments, partly because the service is not available in many of their local communities. Added problems include the lack of a seven-day working culture in the health service and the fact that not enough day procedures are being performed in the community. While statistics are used to illustrate what is happening, we should not forget that statistics, as boring as they are, represent people.",

Public toilets were introduced in the second half of the 19th Century but the vast majority were for men only. Historic England said the first ladies loo opened in Oxford Circus in 1884 but women's public toilets were \"relatively uncommon\" until after World War One. Veronica Fiorato from Historic England said: \"Many people often think of listed buildings only as churches, castles and grand stately homes but buildings like toilets are also an important part of our nation's rich history. \"The lavatories in Berwick and Seaburn reflect the emerging changing social status of women at the beginning of the 20th Century. \"The appearance of toilets like these represented the gradual opening up of a world of new leisure and work opportunities previously unavailable to women.\" Historic England said there were various reasons why women were not given public toilets. In the Victorian era ladies were deemed too modest to \"answer the call of nature\" away from home, while another theory suggests it was a \"cynical ploy\" to control women's movements and ambitions becoming known as the \"urinary leash\". On its first day, the Bank Hill toilet attracted 62 customers. It remained as a toilet until the 1950s, after which it was used for council storage and later an ice cream parlour called Loovre.

But Mr Balls told the BBC that a prospective chancellor \"needed to be tough and to stand up to people\". \"That's my job. I'm good at it and I will keep doing it,\" he told BBC East. The prime minister has regularly questioned Mr Balls' future, while newspapers have talked of tensions between him and Ed Miliband. The shadow chancellor has sought to laugh off criticism, saying he and the Labour leader get on well and telling one interviewer recently that he did not \"give a toss\" about how he was portrayed in the media. 'Carry on shouting' Mr Balls became the centre of attention again at Prime Minister's Questions on Wednesday when he made the latest in a series of gestures with his hands while the leaders were debating the latest unemployment figures and the state of the economy. In the past, he has made a flat movement with his hand to indicate a lack of growth. On this occasion, he appeared to point downwards while David Cameron was answering a question - in an apparent reference to Labour's argument that living standards are continuing to fall under this government despite the stronger-than-expected economic growth. In response, the prime minister said he would have thought \"after today's briefing in the papers the hand gesture for the shadow chancellor should be 'bye bye'.\" He told Mr Miliband: \"You don't need it to be Christmas to know when you're sitting next to a turkey.\" But Mr Balls, who had to shout to make himself heard during the Autumn Statement debate, said he would not \"retreat\" or \"give up\" in the face of what he said was \"aggressive\" Conservative barracking in the Commons. \"When you have got noise of that volume, you have to shout to be heard,\" he said. \"I am going to carry on shouting on behalf of working people across the country. It is my job, I am good at it and David Cameron and George Osborne really don't like it.\" But one Labour commentator suggested Mr Balls should \"tie his hands behind his back\" in future during Prime Minister's Questions.",

The Welsh Ambulance Service Trust (WAST) blamed poor weather for missing the target. The assembly government said it met the target nine out of 11 months in 2010. Official statistics published by the assembly government show 64.7% of first responses to immediately life-threatening calls arrived within eight minutes, the accepted standard, during November last year. This represents the lowest such performance figure since January last year. During November, Wales' ambulance service received just over 29,000 emergency calls, up 7.9% compared with the previous November. Nick Ramsay AM, Welsh Tory health spokesman, said: \"It is disappointing that despite the hard work and dedication of ambulance staff, emergency response times are not being met.\" He called on Health Minister Edwina Hart to \"work more effectively\" with trust officials and local health boards to ensure that the NHS responded to the emergency calls more efficiently. \"The Labour-Plaid Government needs to address staffing and budgetary pressures in what is increasingly becoming a challenging winter for Wales' emergency services,\" he said. 'Adverse weather' A WAST spokesman said problems began with bad weather in late November. \"We saw a significant rise in weather-related calls,\" he said. \"From 26 November until the end of the month, ambulance crews dealt with 784 fall incidents across Wales. \"After this, due to access problems and reduced driving speeds, the eight-minute response time standard was difficult to achieve.\" But, the spokesman added that joint planning with other emergency services and voluntary organisations, meant the trust could provide continuity of essential services. Head of health at Unison Wales, Dave Gallaghan, said the Conservatives were not being truthful in their criticism. He told BBC Wales: \"I think it's a bit disingenuous of the Conservatives, when they are about to give the ambulance service a two-year pay freeze, to start blaming the health minister or the chief executive. \"We shouldn't expect the health minister to micromanage every situation. \"I think the leadership of the new chief executive is commendable in his support from the service and his struggle to get extra resources.\" Elwyn Price-Morris is currently Wast's interim chief executive after Alan Murray stood down after four years in post. The Welsh Assembly Government said the Welsh ambulance service had met the response time target nine out of 11 months in 2010. \"This is as a direct result of the hard work and commitment of the trust's staff who have worked with great dedication,\" said a spokesperson. \"However, they have fallen slightly short of the target in November. \"The trust board and executive management team now needs to show very strong and visible leadership within the organisation and demonstrate that it is totally committed to sustaining the target across Wales.\"",

            "input": "By Prof Tim BaleQueen Mary University of London When it comes to things such as their age, wealth and where they live, the 160,000 or so paid-up members may not be particularly representative of the rest of the country. But what exactly is on their minds? And how do their views compare with those of the population as a whole? Brexit Most people appear to agree that Brexit is crucial. When we asked about it in a survey at the very end of last year, some 60% of all UK voters ranked it the most important issue and 74% of them placed it in the top three. Still, that's nothing compared with Conservative Party members surveyed, of whom, 75% ranked it first and 88% in the top three. But just because voters and Tory members agreed Brexit was important, it does not mean they saw eye-to-eye on the issue. This was seen when we asked people how they would vote in a referendum that gave them the choice between remaining in the EU and leaving without a deal. A stunning 76% of rank and file Conservatives plumped for no deal - an option picked by only 35% of voters as a whole. That was partly because only 18% of the Tory party members believed that no deal would cause serious disruption to, say, supplies of foods and medicines, compared with 35% of the voters surveyed who reckoned it would (and a further 21% who weren't too sure). If, on the other hand, the UK held another referendum and ended up staying in the EU, most of the Tory members would feel \"betrayed\" (58%), \"angry\" (15%) or \"disappointed\" (6%). The figures for voters as a whole were 26% \"betrayed\", 7% \"angry\" and 8% \"disappointed\". The Economy Before the 2016 Brexit referendum, the economy was often ranked as the most important issue. But, right now, unemployment, interest rates and inflation (ie price rises) are all pretty low - which could mean people are currently relatively relaxed. That said, neither Jeremy Hunt nor Boris Johnson - the two leadership contenders - can afford to forget about the economy: 36% of voters and 45% of Tory members surveyed placed it in their top three issues. Once again, though, there were some significant differences between between the Conservative grassroots attitudes and those of the voting population as a whole. For instance, most of the voters (51%) thought government should redistribute income from the rich to the poor, with only one in five (19%) disagreeing. The Tory members, however, thought the opposite - a mere 15% favoured redistribution, while 63% opposed the idea. Tax However, that is not to say Conservative Party members care only about tax cuts for the rich. True, a recent survey of the membership suggests most (58%) warmed to Boris Johnson's suggestion the threshold for paying higher-rate tax should be raised to £80,000 a year. However, the same survey also suggests 63% think abolishing the top rate (paid by those earning over £150,000 a year) is the wrong priority. And, perhaps even more importantly, 60% of Tory members think any extra money should be spent on improving public services rather than tax cuts. Immigration and crime Tory members and UK voters as a whole both believe other issues, such as immigration and crime, should be priorities for the country, surveys suggest. Both groups also broadly agree about the way immigration and crime should be dealt with. Immigration was placed in the top three by 31% of Conservative Party members surveyed and by 27% of the voters overall. We believe, from polling, the public has long wanted to see a reduction in numbers coming in. A recent survey of Tory members indicated there was only one group of migrants most (51%) of them wanted to see more of - skilled, well-educated people looking for highly paid jobs. Low-paid, low-skilled workers were deemed particularly unwelcome, as were Muslim migrants. On crime, just over a quarter (29%) of the members and just under quarter (22%) of the voters named it as one of the three most important issues facing the country. Again, both groups had similar views on the matter: 76% of the Tory members said people who broke the law should be given stiffer sentences - something 67% of the voters also agreed with. Other issues There are, however, other policy areas where the Conservative members and the voting population as a whole held very different views. Defence, for instance, was placed in the top three most important issues by 29% of the Tory members but only 12% of the voters. By way of contrast, benefits and universal credit was placed in the top three by 23% of the voters but only 11% of the Tory members. Similarly, education and the environment were low down the list of voter priorities, mentioned as top-three issues by just 15% and 18% respectively. But the voters were still twice as likely as the Conservative members to rank them as such. Health The biggest gap, however, between the general public and the Tory grassroots may be on health. For the voters as a whole, it was clearly the second most important issue after Brexit, with 42% of them ranking it in their top-three. Only 19% of Conservative Party members said the same. In short, the issues that need to be addressed in order to win over the Conservative grassroots are not necessarily those that will resonate with voters as a whole. Since Boris Johnson and Hunt are vying to become not just Tory leader but the UK's prime minister, they might want to take note.

            "input": "By Lucy AdamsBBC News Despite childcare being a high priority for ministers, some families have been unable to get a place they can afford and that suits their working hours. Others have been on waiting lists for more than two years. The Scottish government said it was confident its pledge for extended provision would be met. Ministers have committed at least £280m to further expanding childcare. Changes effectively begin next week. Regional variations Local authorities do not yet have to provide childcare for most children under three. And some families are on waiting lists because they have put their child's name down early. But the figures show that provision varies widely across the country. And experts say that for some parents this means not being able to return to work. A Freedom of Information (FOI) request to each of Scotland's 32 local authorities revealed significant regional variations. In some areas there are no babies or toddlers waiting for places, in others, such as Glasgow, there are 7,821 on the list. As of 1 August, the Scottish government has pledged to increase the current statutory provision of childcare for three to five year-olds from 475 hours per year to 600, and to extend provision to vulnerable two-year-olds. Flagship pledge It is the first stage of their flagship pledge to extend childcare provision. Jenny Gorevan works full-time. She says she was told in June by Glasgow City Council that her three-year-old daughter was to lose her funded place and that she would have to look elsewhere. However, when she called more than a dozen other private nurseries with council partnership-funded places she was told there was no availability. She said: \"After that I started looking into the council provision. There are seven council nurseries within the extended area that offer full day places. \"Because I'm a working parent and I need full-day places, and none of them could offer me a full-day place. You fill out an application to be considered in September but there are waiting lists and no guarantee of getting a funded place. \"If you can't get an affordable, suitable place, it means it's not worthwhile going back to work. It means the amount you have to spend on childcare in order to have the hours you need to work - the cost of nursery is probably going to exceed that.\" Some families will put their child's name down early in order to try to get an affordable place of their choice. In effect those children will get a place once eligible. In Edinburgh, for example, parents are encouraged to place children on a waiting list around their second birthday in order to get a place of their choice aged three. However, areas such as Glasgow have waiting lists that - in some cases - run for years. Glasgow has also been accused of withdrawing funding for certain \"partner\" places in private nurseries. The FOI shows they have cut their overall childcare funding in the past 12 months from £52m to £50m. Clare Simpson, of Parenting Across Scotland, said: \"It's very difficult for parents to find childcare that is both affordable and flexible. It is piecemeal and very much depends on where you live. For poorer parents and single parents it becomes impossible to work.\" Some councils offer no full-time places. Double counting Perth and Kinross currently offers no places for children under two. Aberdeen City Council provides places from a child's third birthday. Last year their figures stated 245 children were \"unplaced\". And in the past five years 1,026 were unplaced. Glasgow said some children on the list may be counted twice and said they have increased their spend on partnership places. A spokeswoman said: \"This figure will include a high proportion of double counting. Parents and carers will put their child's name down on numerous waiting lists - for both local authority and private nurseries - and don't always let us know if they no longer need a nursery place. \"Legislation states that the local authority has a duty to provide sufficient places for eligible three and four year olds. It does not specify that this is in the nursery of your choice. We do have enough funded places for three and four year olds across the city between our own provision and partnership nurseries. \"The budget reduction is to do with the transfer of clerical staff from education services to CBS - so it is administration costs and not a reduction in frontline services.\" In their response, South Lanarkshire said: \"No children aged three to five years have been refused a place at a local authority nursery. A total of 277 babies (aged zero to two years) were not provided with places.\" Aberdeen City Council said they provide nursery places from the term following a child's third birthday. \"One child can be on up to five waiting lists as children can apply for five choices (they can be on four waiting lists but still have a nursery place),\" they said. \"For session 2013/14 there are 245 children who have applied for but do not have any local authority nursery place. \" Edinburgh City Council said: \"Parents are encouraged to register children for local authority nursery from their 2nd birthday. Two-year-olds on the waiting list for local authority nursery places will be allocated pre-school placements when they become eligible. \"0-2 year-olds are not entitled to a pre-school nursery place and are therefore not on a nursery waiting list. There are currently 563 vulnerable children 0-3 years receiving additional support in our Early Years Centres and 22 on the waiting list.\" Waiting lists A spokeswoman for the National Day Nurseries Association said: \"If the local authorities commissioned more partner providers utilising the private sector rather than capping the number of children providers can take, there would be plenty of spaces. \"It would also mean funding would follow the child and open up parental choice as well as complying with children's rights. If this system were put in place there should be no waiting lists, just further commissioning, funded appropriately, of more places from partner providers. \"Free hours are not currently available until a child is three which is a long time after parental leave ends. The system at present is disjointed.\" Cosla education spokesman Councillor Douglas Chapman said: \"Cosla has always backed the principle of increasing the statutory hours of free childcare and early learning and staff across all councils have been working exceptionally hard to ensure that the recent expansion of provision is delivered. \"Some councils, due to a range of practical factors, have found that a challenging ask, however following continued discussions with the Scottish government we believe that we are in a good position to deliver for Scotland's youngest and most needy children.\" Extra hours The Scottish government said they are confident their pledge for extended provision will be met. A spokesman said: \"Parents are rightly registering with councils well before their child becomes eligible for statutory provision and many are captured in this figure. \"It includes a range of other scenarios, including requests for pre-school childcare for babies and children beyond those already entitled to funded provision, as well as families already receiving funded childcare who want either extra hours at, or a transfer to council-run provision. \"We have committed at least £280m over the next two years to expand funded early learning and childcare for three to four-year olds to almost 16 hours a week - 45% more provision than in 2007 - and for the first time to extend this to the 27% most disadvantaged two-year-olds, reaching around 15% of them in the first year. \"All local authorities have confirmed to us and to Cosla that they are on track to deliver this expanded entitlement. In the next few weeks tens of thousands of children will start receiving this increased provision, with more than 120,000 set to benefit over the school year. \"While we expect local authorities to meet their statutory responsibilities, clearly it is for each of them to decide how best to do that to meet local needs.\"",

Earlier, the Queen and Prince Philip had lunch with the Italian President, Giorgio Napolitano, and his wife Clio at the Quirinal Palace. The Queen gave the Pontiff a hamper of British produce and received a lapis lazuli orb for baby Prince George. It is the Queen's first foreign trip since a visit to Australia in 2011. Arriving at the Vatican, the Queen shook hands with the Pope and said \"Sorry to keep you waiting, we were having lunch with the president.\" The Queen and Prince Philip later had tea with the Pope in a suite of rooms in the Pope Paul VI Audience Hall, close to the Casa Santa Marta, the guest house in the Vatican where the Pope has chosen to live. It is her third visit to the Vatican during her reign but the first time she has met Pope Francis, who was installed just over a year ago. In a break with Vatican convention, the Queen did not wear black, or a veil, but instead wore a lilac-coloured spring coat and matching hat. The Queen and the Pope exchanged gifts inside the Vatican. Pope Francis gave the Queen a royal orb made of lapis lazuli with a silver cross on top, for her baby great-grandson Prince George. The orb is an emblem of royal power which the ancient Romans used to represent the universe, before it was adapted by Christians who added a cross on top to represent the world under Christianity. The Queen presented the pontiff with a hamper of British produce, including goods grown in the gardens of royal palaces, and whisky. The Queen, who is supreme governor of the Church of England, met the leader of the world's Roman Catholics at a time of thorny Anglican-Catholic relations over the Vatican's move to bring in hundreds of Church of England priests dissenting from their Church's line on the ordination of women. Relations between the Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby and Pope Francis are cordial, however and the Queen has long supported moves to improve understanding between the Anglican and Roman Catholic churches, BBC correspondents say. One subject that was not expected to be discussed was the Falkland Islands, known in Argentina as Las Malvinas, which are controlled by the UK but claimed by the Pope's native Argentina. He has in the past referred to the islands as \"ours\". The visit coincides with the 32nd anniversary of the start of the Falklands War. Speaking to Vatican radio, Britain's ambassador to the Holy See, Nigel Baker, said: \"The Vatican has been clear with us, including in the last week and at a very senior level, that their long-standing position of neutrality on this issue remains in force.\" He added that the Queen \"will want, I think, to understand from Pope Francis how he sees the role of faith in the world\". Queen Elizabeth II had previously visited the Vatican three times during her reign - once to meet John XXIII in 1961 and again in 1980 and 2000 to see John Paul II, whom she also met at Buckingham Palace in 1982. Both former popes are being made saints in a first-ever double papal canonisation later this month. The Queen also met Pope Pius XII in 1951 - a year before she took the throne - and the now pope emeritus Benedict XVI in Edinburgh when he visited the UK in 2010. The Anglican church, which separated from Rome after the divorce of King Henry VIII in the 16th Century, has about 80 million followers compared with the world's 1.2 billion Catholics.",

The 26-year-old is planning to go to Mexico this October to meet up with an old school friend who is house-sitting at a ranch. \"Might try my hand at some farming,\" she laughs. Last year she went to Belize to volunteer for a marine conservation company, and scuba-dived every day for a month. Her bigger holidays so far have included New Zealand and Japan. When she travels she spends most of her money on flights and experiences. \"I try to mainly stay in hostels and then save my money for the bigger experiences and things I want to try out there,\" she says. Braggability Polly is part of a generation of travellers seeking not just relaxation and leisure when they take a break from work, but also an experience. Holidays for this age group are now all about the \"braggability factor,\" says Tim Fryer, UK country manager at STA Travel. He says bookings to more adventurous destinations have risen significantly in the past few years. While Thailand remains one of its most popular destinations, the firm has seen an increase in bookings to less mainstream places such as the Philippines and Sri Lanka. \"It's driven by social media influence. They want to discover something unique and special and show everyone,\" he says. The travel agency's customers are predominantly 20-somethings, many of whom are taking a gap year, after finishing school or university. Even here, he said people are now seeking out more unusual options. The traditional year out may now be just six months, or even as long as 18 months. \"We've seen less off the shelf round the world trips and more picking and choosing of 'I want this and I want that',\" he says. New destinations Azerbaijan, Mongolia, Iceland, Cyprus, Kazakhstan, Moldova, Costa Rica, Georgia and Sri Lanka are some of the countries which are seeing the strongest growth globally in travel and tourism, according to global industry body The World Travel and Tourism Council. Their widening appeal is outpacing that of some of the more traditional holiday markets such as India, China and Indonesia. This kind of jump in tourism can be a massive boost for a country which has few other ways of generating money. But even in developed nations the sector is crucial. Last year, visitor exports - how much international tourists spend - accounted for some 6.6% of total world exports, and just under a third of total services exports. Overall the sector was responsible for around 10% of global growth last year. Where we go on holiday is of course determined by wider world events. Traditional holiday destination Tunisia has fallen off the map since the 2015 attack in the resort of Sousse in which 30 British tourists and eight others were killed by a gunman with links to Islamic State. The Foreign and Commonwealth Office continues to advise against all but essential travel there. Top five destinations this summer Source: Thomas Cook, based on UK tour operator and flight-only bookings until 2 May Yet Turkey, hit by security fears last year, has seen its popularity bounce back for this summer, according to Thomas Cook. The country is the third most popular destination for its customers this summer after Spain and Greece. Old favourites the US and Cyprus are fourth and fifth, says the travel agency which arranges travel for around 19 million customers a year. Currency impact The pound's fall, which is still down around 15% against the dollar since last year's EU referendum, has had a clear impact on holidaymakers' choices with trips to Mexico and South Africa boosted by the relative weakness of their currencies. Nonetheless, Thomas Cook too has noticed a growing appetite for adventure, with families with children going to long-haul destinations that you might not expect. Family package holiday bookings for this summer are up 24% year-on-year to Cuba, 39% to Cancun in Mexico and 17% to the Dominican Republic, it says. At the more expensive end of the market, luxury travel club Mr and Mrs Smith says Portugal and Sri Lanka are currently in vogue. The biggest trend the firm's co-founder James Lohan has noticed is that people now want all their trips to be memorable, not just ones taken to mark special occasions such as honeymoons and birthdays. He says FOMO - or fear of missing out - means people now want to \"collect the world\". \"The rise of social media has opened people's eyes to the world's possibilities. People now want transformational travel - something to enrich their lives more,\" he says. Their typical client is \"a slightly cliched cash-rich, time-poor person with an average age of 40,\" he says. Their customers are not after extreme adventures such as climbing Kilimanjaro, but want what he describes as \"boutique adventure more in keeping with a holiday\". In some ways, he says, they're simply re-inventing typical holiday pursuits such as museum tours for a new generation, offering instead things such as photography tours and cookery lessons. Customers might not even realise it, but they're seeking something beyond just a hotel and \"smart hoteliers are responding to that,\" he says. He says a old Portuguese farming village, which has now been renovated and turned into the Sao Lourenco do Barrocal hotel by Jose Antonio Uva, the eighth generation of the same family to have lived there, is a good example. \"People are excited about things like kitchen gardens and provenance and being part of the hotel's working, particularly us frazzled urbanites. We want to get back to nature and be involved with it all,\" he says. 'Fly and flop' Reflecting their customers' demands, the firm which started out as a publisher, producing a guidebook on the top UK boutique hotels, now organises tailor-made travel itineraries for its travel club members. Isn't it all just a bit stressful for a holiday. Shouldn't people just be relaxing on a beach? He laughs, saying there's still plenty of bookings to \"fly and flop\" destinations. Although for Polly it's not the type of holiday she'll be seeking out. \"I think it's really important to experience different cultures and step outside of your comfort zone,\" she says. \"It's also a great opportunity to come back home with a different perspective.\" Global Trade More from the BBC's series taking an international perspective on trade: Where the clothes you throw away end up The lucrative world of 'the super tutor' How the 'better burger' is taking over the world What it takes to get Beyonce on a world tour The country losing out in the breakfast juice battle Why a $1.6bn car plant has been left to decay Read more global trade series here.",

The pair were handed over to US Marshalls at Terminal Four by officers from the Met Police's extradition unit. They went to hospital last week after claiming they had tried to take their own lives to avoid being extradited. 'Hard-working couple' Both appeared at Westminster Magistrates' Court on Friday where senior district judge Howard Riddle concluded they took drugs deliberately to prevent or delay their facing charges. Mr Dunham spent the weekend in Wandsworth prison, while Mrs Dunham was held in HMP Holloway. They were initially arrested on 13 November 2012 on behalf US authorities. Since then they have fought through the courts to resist extradition and their battle reached a crisis point last week. It is believed they were held at Heathrow Airport overnight after it was expected they would be extradited on Wednesday. Solicitor Karen Todner said the pair are a \"hard-working couple from Northamptonshire who strenuously deny the allegations against them\". 'Unjust system' Defeat in the High Court last month confirmed they would stand trial in the US over charges relating to Mr Dunham's company, Pace. He is the former chief executive, president and a 20% shareholder in a company which manufactured soldering irons for the electronics industry. He was indicted on 13 counts of fraud and money laundering by a grand jury in Greenbelt, Maryland, in December 2011. Mrs Dunham is accused of eight counts of fraud for allegedly aiding and abetting him. The couple deny any wrongdoing. The US Attorney's office in Maryland has confirmed the couple will appear before a district court on Friday. A sealed indictment will be formally opened and put to the couple during this hearing. The magistrate judge will then decide whether to grant bail or to detain them. The BBC understands Mr Dunham will be represented by Maryland lawyer Gary Proctor while his wife will be represented by a public defender. Melanie Riley, of campaigners Friends Extradited, said: \"Another sad day. Two more British victims of an unjust extradition system have just been parcelled off. \"British MPs might now quietly reflect on this treatment and examine their consciences. \"Is this is a system of which they can be proud? It's a regime whose flaws are self-evident.\"",

            "input": "By Will SmaleNews reporter, BBC News For many motorists there are few things that get their annoyance levels revving more than the dreaded speed camera. Ever since the devices started to sprout beside Britain's roads in 1992, they have been public enemy number one for numerous drivers. It's hard to exaggerate how divisive these jutting luminous boxes have become. Safety campaigners argue passionately that they are life-savers, forcing drivers to keep within prescribed speed limits. Yet many motorists believe they are more about raising money for government - which gets all the fines they raise - than reducing risk. Now, 18 years, 6,000 cameras, and an estimated £100m in fines later, speed cameras could be nearing the end of the road - at least in England and Wales. The ultimatum comes after Downing Street announced it would be cutting the road safety budgets it gives to English and Welsh local authorities by 40%, as part of its wider efforts to reduce public spending. Road Safety Minister Mike Penning said at the weekend that this cut - which specifically ends central funding for fixed speed cameras - was \"another example of this government delivering on its pledge to end the war on the motorist\". As a result of the reduced funding, Oxfordshire County Council is expected to confirm on Tuesday that it will end its spending on all its speed cameras, resulting in the 72 fixed and 89 mobile speed camera vans it funds across the county being withdrawn. With a number of other local authorities saying they are likely to follow suit, the key questions are whether speed cameras have been successful in reducing road traffic accidents, and if we may now see a rise in such incidents. 'Serious danger' Thames Valley Safer Roads Partnership, the organisation that operates the speed cameras in Oxfordshire on behalf of the council, has already said it fears a big increase in accidents. \"There's a serious danger we will see an increase in casualties,\" says its communication manager Dan Campsall. \"We may be counting the cost of this in terms of bodies.\" Figures from the partnership appear to back up this claim. They show that at the 212 fixed camera sites across the wider Thames Valley region - which also includes Buckinghamshire and Berkshire - there was a 38% drop in vehicle collisions. This is when you compare the three years before each camera was put in place with the most recent three years. The chart below shows that in the 11 years between 1998 and 2008, a time during which speed cameras proliferated, the number of road deaths remained fairly constant. However, there was a cut in serious injuries - although opponents of speed cameras will say this is largely down to other factors, such as better safety standards in new cars. Statistics from Swindon Borough Council also appear to contradict those from Thames Valley. Swindon switched off all its fixed speed cameras a year ago, saying they weren't an effective tool in cutting road traffic accidents as only 6% were caused by people speeding, and that accident levels were actually rising across the borough. The council said it would instead target its road safety funds at \"accidents at junctions, at night, among younger drivers, and on rural roads\". A spokesman for Swindon council says that in the first six months after the cameras were switched off accident numbers across their sites \"remained the same\". While he admits \"this is too short a period to draw any meaningful conclusions\", he adds:\"However, warnings that accidents and casualties would immediately rocket after the cameras were switched off have so far been proved wrong\". 'Wider problem' The RAC Foundation motoring think tank says speed cameras should not be treated in isolation, and that \"the broader problem is the slashing of the [entire] road safety budget\". Stephen Glaister, director of the RAC Foundation, adds: \"The roads minister Mike Penning says he hopes councils will now focus on other ways of reducing road casualties, but how can they do anything if the cash to do it with is not available?\" \"For example, if the government [still] believes speed limits are a good thing then who is going to enforce them? Certainly not the police who also face a large reduction in resources and manpower.\" However, if Oxfordshire does go ahead and end funding for all its fixed and mobile speed cameras, it will be the police that has to fill the gap with mobile hand-held speed detectors, as these are both operated and funded directly by police forces. Turning his attention to alternatives to speed cameras, Mr Glaister is cautious about the long-term effectiveness of electronic signs that flash up how fast people are driving - so-called speed indicator devices. \"The experience in London is that they do slow traffic to start with, but as motorists become more used to them then speeds increase again,\" he says. 'Appalled' For Julie Townsend, deputy chief executive of road safety charity Brake, getting rid of speed cameras is \"madness\". \"I am appalled that Oxfordshire is threatening to do this,\" she says. \"Speed cameras are a proven and cost-effective way of reducing deaths and injuries on the roads by controlling speed. \"Any reduction in the number of cameras is a real backward step in road safety terms.\" Ms Townsend points to a 2004 report by University College of London which, studying 4,000 speed cameras over a three-year period, found a 42% reduction in deaths and serious injuries at their locations. \"Aside from the safety question, removing speed cameras also doesn't make any economic sense,\" she says. \"Not only do road deaths and injuries cause untold trauma to victims and their relatives, the cost is enormous for the emergency services and the NHS.\"",

                "Motorists in Oxfordshire might feel a little more free with the accelerator from Tuesday as the council was due to switch off its fixed speed cameras. The move is angering some safety campaigners, but others say it will have little impact on accident figures."

He criticised a \"blame culture\" in which students had been accused of spreading infections. \"Prevalence in students is now very low indeed,\" said Prof Galbraith. Edge Hill University in Lancashire says it has so far found zero positive cases in its end-of-term testing. Zero positive cases The mass testing of students, launched on campuses last week, has been screening hundreds of thousands of students preparing to leave for the Christmas holidays. There are no national figures so far on results from university testing, but some early findings are being published. These include results so far from four universities - but it is not known how representative they might be of the wider picture. The most recent figures for the general population show wide regional differences in rates of testing positive, including those without symptoms - from 1.3% in the north west of England to 0.4% in the south west. At the University of Portsmouth, an initial sample of about 4,500 students, showed a rate of 0.2% positive results, or about nine students. The University of Cambridge had even lower positive results last week from tests for those who did not have any Covid symptoms - with zero positive cases from more than 10,000 students being screened. There were separate figures from Cambridge for those who thought they had Covid symptoms - with nine cases being confirmed out of 71 tested. Cambridge has run its own test and tracking system throughout the term. Students 'not driving local infections' \"Where outbreaks did occur, the testing programme helped us identify these quickly and put measures in place to prevent them spreading further,\" said Patrick Maxwell, regius professor and head of Cambridge's school of clinical medicine. \"Once the second lockdown was put in place, we saw the number of infected students fall away to single figures,\" said Prof Maxwell. Edge Hill University has reported zero positive cases from more than 2,100 students who took part in the mass testing since last week. At the University of Reading, more than 3,500 tests have been carried out for students without symptoms - finding 15 positive results, about 0.4% of tests. Students who test positive will then have further tests to confirm if they have the virus. But there have also been warnings that lateral flow tests can miss some positive cases - and it remains uncertain how many students might not have taken a test before leaving at the end of term. Portsmouth's vice chancellor said he wanted to publish the evidence to show how much infection rates had fallen among his university's students. Prof Galbraith said students should not \"bear the brunt of blame and criticism when in reality their overall behaviour has been exceptionally positive in conforming with the rules\". The university, which carried out its own Covid testing through the autumn, says that its data shows there was no link between the pattern of student infections and cases in the wider local population. There was a surge in early October in cases among students and the local Portsmouth population. But from mid-October cases among students began to fall - while cases in the local population continued to climb, with these divergent trends continuing through to mid-November, when local cases also began to reduce. The university says its own testing and tracing system had sharply reduced cases among students - and that students were unlikely to have been driving local outbreaks. Nick Hillman, director of the Higher Education Policy Institute, said the \"hard evidence\" now emerging from testing could prove that expectations about infection rates among students had been wrong. \"Like everyone else, the higher education sector has been learning about Covid as it has gone along,\" he said.",

            "input": "By Justin ParkinsonPolitical reporter, BBC News Lord Fowler said the then prime minister thought mentioning sexual practices in leaflets sent out in 1986 would make people \"experiment\". \"She was just wrong on that,\" he added, saying there was \"absolutely no evidence that that took place\". More than 32 million people worldwide have died from Aids-related illnesses. The first UK death was recorded in 1981. The current Channel 4 drama It's a Sin portrays the sense of confusion and fear at the time. Rumours of a \"mystery illness\" affecting gay men in the United States abounded, but little information was available. In 1986, the government, in which Lord - then Norman - Fowler served as health and social security secretary, launched its \"Aids: Don't die of ignorance\" campaign. This included TV advertising and an information pamphlet stating: \"Those most at risk now are men who have sex with other men.\" \"Right from the beginning Margaret was a sceptic about having this major campaign… on the dangers of contracting HIV and how you could avoid it,\" Lord Fowler said. \"There was a section in [the leaflet] on risky sex and Margaret came back on it and said, 'Do we really need to have this thing on risky sex?' \"Well, as the whole point of it was to warn people about it, it seemed to me that it was essential to have that in.\" Lord Fowler, who is currently Lord Speaker overseeing debates in the House of Lords, last year told the National HIV Story Trust, which is compiling an archive, that Mrs Thatcher had been \"neurotic about getting too associated\" with Aids. But he told the BBC that, in hindsight, this had not been the \"best choice of words\". He added: \"Her concern was - it's always seemed to me a bit odd - that we were teaching people, telling people things about which they didn't know - the implication being that, once they knew it, then they would go out and experiment. \"Well, as this was exactly the opposite of our message, it did seem to me curious.\" It was not until 1984 that scientists announced they had found a virus that caused Aids. Two years later this was officially named HIV (human immunodeficiency virus). No treatment was available at the time of the government's campaign. \"There was nothing we could do for people who had contracted HIV,\" said Lord Fowler, \"but we could warn those people who hadn't contracted it.\" He and those who agreed with him \"went round\" Mrs Thatcher, using the cabinet committee on Aids, on which she did not sit, to set the official message, he added. In the UK, as in the US, the government was accused of costing lives by acting too late in launching an awareness campaign. \"You could always say we should have started earlier,\" Lord Fowler said, \"but I think we started at more or less the right time, because it was about the time when public concern was growing. We got it at that time and then we hammered it home.\" In February 1987, the World Health Organization launched its own Global Program on Aids to raise awareness. And a month later the first antiretroviral drug for treating HIV was approved for use in the US. Until treatment became widely available, Lord Fowler said, the virus had effectively been a \"death sentence\". He added that, in 1986, he had rejected calls for a \"moral campaign\" from some quarters, which would have focused on people changing their \"sexual habits\". Lord Fowler, who is currently watching It's a Sin, called it \"extraordinarily moving\", adding that it shows the \"helplessness\" felt during the 1980s. More than 100,000 people in the UK are estimated to be living with HIV today, the majority having acquired it through sexual transmission, rather than drug use. The National Aids Trust charity says that the proportions of infections via homosexual and heterosexual intercourse are now \"very similar\". If diagnosed early, treatment keeps the virus under control and stops complications that can ultimately lead to Aids, meaning life expectancy is similar to that for people without HIV. But the scale of deaths globally. especially in countries where medical help is not available, concerns Lord Fowler. \"I don't think the sense of public outrage is as strong on that as I'd like to see,\" he said. \"We've still a hell of a long way to go.\"",

Her mother told the High Court in Edinburgh that days after she went missing, Nat Fraser put on a fake moustache and said it was the disguise Arlene had used to get away. Mr Fraser, 53, denies killing his wife and has lodged two special defences. Giving evidence for a second day, Isabelle Thompson told the murder trial about the events after her daughter vanished 14 years ago. The 66-year-old said fruit and vegetable wholesaler Mr Fraser did not seem to be concerned about his wife. The court heard that members of Mrs Fraser's family went to Elgin after she was reported missing, searching her home in Smith Street for clues to her whereabouts. They were joined from time to time by Mr Fraser. Mrs Thompson said: \"We were sitting at night and there was a toy moustache one of the children had. \"He put it on and said: 'This was the disguise Arlene used for getting away.' \"I felt it was terrible that he could joke about anything like that. He didn't seem to be upset about anything.\" Mrs Thompson also described a TV press conference when relatives appealed for information, and Nat Fraser had to read words from a piece of paper. \"I didn't think he was very enthusiastic to find out anything about Arlene,\" she added. Asked by advocate depute Alex Prentice QC, prosecuting, about her impression of Mr Fraser, Mrs Thompson replied: \"He didn't seem that bothered one way or another.\" The trial heard how Mrs Thompson confronted her son-in-law over her daughter's disappearance. \"I asked him if he had done anything to Arlene and he said: 'What would be the point of that?' \"I said: 'You would have your house, your business and your freedom' and he said: 'I wouldn't have Arlene.' \"I said: 'You wouldn't have Arlene anyway. She was divorcing you'.\" Rings shelf The trial heard that a search of the Smith Street address revealed Mrs Fraser had not taken her sunglasses, contact lenses, store cards, passport or bank book. The jury were shown photos of the bathroom and a small wooden shelf beside the mirror over the wash-hand basin. Mrs Thompson said she thought it might have been used to put rings on. In court she identified Mrs Fraser's eternity ring, diamond and gold wedding ring and sapphire and diamond engagement ring. She said had not seen the rings in the Smith Street house in the early days following her daughter's disappearance, and that, had she done so, she would have handed them over to police. Mrs Thompson agreed with Mr Prentice that she later learned the rings had \"appeared\" at the house. Earlier the court heard about problems in the couple's marriage. Mrs Thompson said Mr Fraser had moved out of the family home earlier in 1998. She said her daughter had been convinced her husband was hiding sums of money in the house, although she had never found any of it. Phone call The indictment alleges Mr Fraser knew his wife wanted a divorce and had gone to a solicitor to see about getting a financial settlement. Mr Fraser has lodged special defences of alibi and incrimination. His alibi defence describes how Mr Fraser left the address where he was staying in Burnside Road, Lhanbryde, at about 07:30 on 28 April and spent the day making deliveries to shops, hotels and restaurants in the area, pausing just after 09:00 to make a half-hour phone call. He names Hector Dick, of Mosstowie, Elgin, as the possible murderer. As defence QC John Scott began his questioning of Mrs Thompson, the court heard that there had been an earlier trial in 2003 when Mr Dick had been one of three men accused of murdering Arlene, but had left the dock and given evidence for the prosecution. The court was told another man on trial then, Glenn Lucas, is now dead. Mr Fraser denies murdering his wife between 28 April and 7 May 1998. The trial, before judge Lord Bracadale, continues.",

            "input": "By John Sudworth BBC News, Xinjiang Or any journalists, for that matter. A few days before the British chancellor was due to begin his five-day tour of China - including the controversial stop in Xinjiang's capital city, Urumqi - our BBC team set off for Kashgar, the ancient Silk Route city that has long been the beating cultural heart of this remote western region. We picked up a rental car at the airport and drove south and then east out of the city. Hired drivers in Xinjiang make easy police informants so we decided to drive ourselves. In a few hours we'd made it to the county of Yarkand, slipping unnoticed on the back roads past the checkpoints. Yarkand is a part of Xinjiang that has seen some of the worst violence. In one incident last year, state media says, 59 \"terrorists\" were shot dead here. But according to some foreign media reports it was in fact a local uprising in response to police brutality, then heavily put down with live ammunition. A propaganda department's dream We hoped we could speak to eyewitnesses and form our own view of where the truth really lay. Down a quiet lane, at the edge of a tiny hamlet, we stopped at one house and struck up a conversation with the occupants, all ethnic Uighurs. One young man, a construction worker, agreed to be interviewed as long as we disguised his identity. We began recording at once, keen not to linger too long to avoid being discovered by local officials or the police. If they had have shown up they would have been delighted though. The man was a propaganda department's dream. Did he feel, as some allege, that most of the good jobs in Xinjiang go to China's majority Han Chinese - incomers over recent years - at the expense of Uighurs? No, he replied, things were pretty fair. Did he feel any grievance about rule from Beijing, more than 2,000 miles (3,200km) away? No, he supported the Communist Party, he replied. And he went on to echo the Chinese authorities' constant refrain: that the violence of recent years, in which many innocent lives have been lost, is caused by isolated terrorists, fuelled by extremist ideology, without real roots in the community. He just wanted a quiet life, he said, although he did have one grumble - corruption. The system wasn't the problem, it seemed, but the people who ran it sometimes were. It could be a message written by Chinese President Xi Jinping himself. Complex and nuanced picture It's impossible to know how deeply his opinions were held as, of course, to express any other views in Xinjiang would be dangerous. But it felt, in large part at least, that he was being frank and the exchange is an illustration of how complex and nuanced the picture is. There are indeed many Uighurs loyal to the party and the state - both within and without the security services - who may well be enthusiastic supporters of the kind of trade deals the British chancellor is hoping to foster. But then there are clearly plenty of others who are not so keen on the status quo - why else the need for such tight security, surveillance and control? Familiar pattern As feared and just minutes after our interview was over, as we were driving away, our car was pulled over by village officials and we were handed over to the local government who kept us for hours in their office before escorting us all the way back to our hotel in Kashgar. For the rest of our time in Xinjiang we entered a now familiar pattern for anyone who has tried to report here. First the futile attempts to gather testimony from local people, each time encountering something between reluctance and outright fear of offering an opinion, even off camera. And then at some point during the day, the inevitable encounter with the police and local officials, insistent always that we were to be prevented from doing any journalism without their constant presence. 'Ilham Tohti is not a terrorist' That China faces a serious and growing threat in Xinjiang is undisputed. In the rising tide of violence in recent years, in markets, train stations and tourist spots, militant Uighurs have hit hard at home as well as taking their attacks to other Chinese cities, including Beijing. China's response though has been ruthless: ratcheting up surveillance and security, mass arrests and the rapid processing of suspects through the Communist Party's notoriously rigged courts. One prison, on the outskirts of Xinjiang's capital, Urumqi - not too far from where George Osborne is staying - holds Ilham Tohti, a respected Uighur academic and moderate critic of Chinese policy whose life sentence sparked an international outcry. There's an uncomfortable piece of timing in his incarceration - Mr Osborne and his trade delegation are here exactly one year to the day that Ilham Tohti was convicted. His daughter, Jewher Ilham, is studying in the US, from where she told me she wants George Osborne to raise her father's case. \"I want the British politicians to tell the authorities that Ilham Tohti is not a terrorist,\" she tells me. \"He has been shackled and beaten and denied food and… he has suffered a lot.\" Ban on beards and veils On our final day in Kashgar, finding ourselves once again in the custody of the Chinese police, we submitted to their enforced guided tour. They took us to the old city, until recently a 2,000-year-old architectural treasure and home to many thousands of Uighur residents. In the past five years it has been all but flattened and rebuilt, modernised and remoulded, to make it \"earthquake proof,\" China says, complete with Chinese style pagodas and cheap camel statues for tourists to pose on. The police agreed that we could film at the city's old Id Kah mosque - under their guidance of course. I was keen to ask worshippers what they thought of the heavy restrictions placed on their faith in response to the perceived threat of growing Islamic radicalisation. Young men are banned from growing long beards, women from wearing the full veil and government officials, even ethnic Uighur ones, are prevented from attending the mosque at all. But as prayers finished our minders told us that the permission to speak to ordinary people had been withdrawn. I replied that we were going to interview people regardless, and we headed off into the square where we were able to record a few comments from a curious, but nervous group of Uighur men. \"We're just ordinary people,\" one man told me in answer to my question about whether the restrictions were fair. \"We have no rights.\" Suddenly, one of our police escorts heaved into view, arms flailing and pushing the small crowd that had gathered out of the way. As our camera turned to film him, he lunged in fury, violently grabbing it and trying to rip it from its shoulder strap, breaking off the microphone as he did so. After the crowd dispersed and his anger subsided he spent the next hour or so searching our video files, forcing us to delete the footage of the incident. 'A major political coup' Even by China's standards Xinjiang is an extremely difficult place to operate as a journalist. But nothing has changed there. The big question is whether this is now the right time for what is thought to be the first government delegation from a major Western power? Amnesty International's East Asia director, Nicholas Bequelin, thinks not. \"For the Chinese this is a major political coup,\" he says. \"At the highest level of the UK government, there is certainly a sense that not only you have to ignore human rights in China to do business, but you have even to make a song and dance about how much you're ignoring it, which is a very naive approach and very destructive in the long term.\" The British government says it does raise human rights concerns, in private. In public, though, the talk is of an ever-closer partnership, including here, in one of China's most troubled regions.",

Activists say the coronavirus pandemic is exacerbating the problem. They believe arson is likely to be even less monitored while authorities are stretched. Many forest fires in the country are started deliberately by illegal loggers and farmers wanting to quickly clear ground. Brazil has the world's second-highest coronavirus death toll, after the US, and there are also concerns that increased smoke could have a damaging effect on the breathing of virus patients. In June, the country's National Institute for Space Research (INPE) recorded 2,248 fires using satellite imagery, as opposed to 1,880 fires in June 2019. The burning usually increases throughout July, August and September. \"We cannot allow the 2019 situation to repeat itself,\" Mauricio Voivodic, executive director of the World Wildlife Fund NGO in Brazil, told the Folha de Sao Paulo newspaper, accusing the government of inaction. Last year's fires peaked in August, with 30,901 - threefold the number for the same period the previous year. The 2019 fires led to protests domestically and internationally, with threats of financial penalties from foreign governments, and broad condemnation of President Jair Bolsonaro's environmental policies. The president has been criticised for slashing the Ministry of the Environment's funding, and encouraging business over conservation. BBC analysis in 2019 showed that a sharp drop in fines for environmental violations during his administration had coincided with the increase in fires. However, the president has consistently rejected criticism from abroad. \"Certain countries, instead of helping ... behaved in a disrespectful manner and with a colonialist spirit,\" he said in September, rejecting the \"misconception\" that the Amazon is the lungs of the world. The Amazon - which spans multiple South American countries but is 60% in Brazil - is a vital carbon store that slows down the pace of global warming. It is home to about three million species of plants and animals, as well as some one million indigenous people. Last year, the BBC reported how an area of Amazon rainforest roughly the size of a football pitch is now being lost every single minute, according to satellite data. Scientists say it could be close to \"the tipping point\", when its nature completely changes. This will happen when total deforestation reaches between 20% and 25% - which could be in the next 20 or 30 years.",

The council had hoped the pay cut would fund voluntary severance packages for hundreds of workers. Unions have already warned of industrial action over compulsory redundancies. They claim the pay cut deal was not a proper offer and would not have paid for a full voluntary scheme. Aberdeen City Council earlier approved plans to cut £120m from its budget over the next five years. In a letter, staff representatives were told that after the proposed 5% pay cut was rejected by the unions the proposal would be withdrawn. The council official added: \"In accordance with the decision at council this means that voluntary severance/early retirement in terms of the council's discretionary scheme will not be applied and all redundancies will be compulsory. \"Where the option is a stop or closure all employed in an establishment/unit or defined service will be those selected for redundancy. \"The staff in the selection pools will be briefed on the process, as will be the managers.\" 'No alternative' An Aberdeen City Council spokesman later confirmed: \"Aberdeen City Council must reduce the size of its workforce because of reductions in central government funding for the public sector and because of budget decisions to deliver our services in different ways in the future. \"The city council has offered voluntary severance and early retirement packages to staff annually for the past three years. \"The recognised trade unions have, however, rejected the option of a 5% pay reduction for staff earning more than £21,000 a year in order to help fund a further round of voluntary severance. \"In line with the council's decision last month, there is therefore no alternative but to move to compulsory redundancies.\" Conveners and vice-conveners representing Aberdeen's ruling SNP/Lib Dem administration recently agreed to take a pay cut themselves, in line with what was controversially proposed for employees. A Scottish government spokesman said: \"The employment of council staff is a matter for local authorities. \"Aberdeen City Council has had a better than average settlement in 2009-10, 2010-11 and will again in 2011-12.\"",

Dewsbury MP Paula Sherriff said the approach was \"fundamentally wrong\". WH Smith said longer opening hours and higher costs were behind the pricing. But Labour MP Ms Sherriff, who worked in the NHS before becoming an MP and sits on the Health Select Committee, said patients and visitors were \"effectively being exploited\". 'Just morally wrong' She said shops had \"unfortunately got a captive audience\" at hospitals and added that the matter could be raised at the select committee. BBC Radio Leeds compared the prices of water and stationery items at WH Smith shops in Pontefract and Wakefield hospitals with the retailer's branch near Trinity shopping centre in Leeds. It found the 750ml bottle of water cost £1.49 in Pontefract hospital. Other items that were more expensive included a pad of A4 paper that was priced about 60% higher in both hospitals - £3.99 compared to £2.49 in Leeds city centre. The radio station also compared the cost of three different sandwiches at Marks & Spencer in St James's Hospital, Leeds with the company's Briggate branch in the city. The sandwiches were all about 15% more expensive. A ham and cheese sandwich that cost £2.50 on Briggate was £2.90 in the hospital branch. Katherine Murphy, chief executive of the independent charity the Patients Association, said the higher prices were \"just morally wrong\". \"I am shocked because they are targeting the wrong people; poorly paid staff and patients. It is wrong to take advantage of a captive audience.\" The association would support the matter being raised before the Health Select Committee, she added. WH Smith said: \"Locations such as hospitals are more complex environments to operate in, with certain operational costs being significantly higher than on the high street, for example longer opening hours, more complicated delivery arrangements and often higher occupational costs.\" Marks & Spencer said prices in hospital \"could be a little higher due to the increased running costs necessary to cover longer opening hours and convenient location\". Iain Brodie, for Mid Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust, said pricing policy was a commercial decision by WH Smith. \"The trust has a number of free-of-charge water dispensers in our public restaurants and cafes for visitors, staff and outpatients\", he added.",

Her report urges \"bold\" moves on tax reform, the living wage, childcare and public service delivery. First Minister Nicola Sturgeon welcomed the report, announcing £1m of funding for early learning and childcare. Earlier government reports have found that half a million Scots are living in poverty, including 100,000 children. Oxford University research fellow Ms Eisenstadt was appointed by Ms Sturgeon in 2015 to provide advice on poverty and inequality. In her report, she said the Scottish government had been \"signalling changes to the council tax since its first term in office\". She said the government should \"consider ending the council tax freeze from 2017/18 onwards\", saying this would \"make a contribution to protecting public services that are particularly supportive of families in poverty\". 'Constructive approach' She also said the government should build more social housing, to focus on expanding the living wage to larger employers and do more to ensure people claim the benefits they are entitled to. Ms Eisenstadt said she was \"struck by the genuinely open and constructive approach\" people had taken with her during her inquiry. She said: \"The key message for me is that everyone has a role to play, local government, the voluntary sector, the Scottish government and people in poverty themselves, who clearly have the best understanding of the challenges of living on a low income.\" Analysis by Jamie McIvor, BBC Scotland local government correspondent For some time there's been a debate over just who's been helped most by the council tax freeze. The Scottish government argues the freeze has been a real help to family budgets - with the biggest proportionate impact on those earning more modest incomes. Critics contend the way the freeze actually works is leading to cuts which may have the most impact on the poor and the vulnerable. The bulk of council money is from the government - money to compensate them for freezing the council tax is only one part of the equation. In a wide-ranging report for the government, the poverty tsar acknowledges that this debate has been going on. The comments are made within the context of a contribution to the question of what should happen next to council funding. The tsar says the freeze should end in 2017 before any wider overhaul of council funding. The SNP is still debating its policies for the Holyrood election including what should happen to the freeze and options for replacing or reforming council tax. But her remarks will be seized upon by the government's critics. Some would contend that if the freeze should end next year - then why not now? They'd argue the fundamental arguments haven't suddenly changed - and many councils across Scotland are currently looking for new cuts and savings as they're set to receive less overall from the government in the coming year than they'd anticipated. Last week Moray Council proposed putting up bills by 18% to avoid cuts. A few others are looking seriously at the idea of breaking the freeze - but while the current system for the freeze continues, any rise would have to be significant to make any difference to their finances. The Scottish government has welcomed the report's findings, and moved immediately to provide funding for up to six early learning and childcare trials to test different delivery models. Launching the report alongside Ms Eisenstadt, the first minister said the government would respond formally to the report before the end of March. She said: \"When I appointed Naomi to the role I was clear that she would work independently and be frank and challenging in her scrutiny of not only the work the Scottish government was doing to alleviate poverty and inequality, but also what more can be done. \"We now need to study the report and look at what we're doing well and should continue to do, and where we can improve.\" 'We can do more now' Scottish Labour said the report was evidence of how \"timid\" the SNP had been in its near-decade in power at Holyrood, citing fuel poverty, the living wage and housing. Jackie Baillie said: \"Naomi Eisenstadt has revealed the gap between the SNP's campaigning rhetoric and their record in government. \"After a decade in power and a majority in parliament, the SNP have been managerial rather than radical in government.\" Scottish Green MSP Patrick Harvie welcomed the report saying \"we can do more right away\". He added: \"Housing costs in many parts of Scotland are disgracefully high, and too many people of low incomes are forced to find a home from the expensive private rented sector. \"Building more social housing is absolutely crucial, but we also need to regulate rent levels in the private sector. The housing bill that's up for debate in Holyrood is our chance to do that, but we have to make sure that rent control measures are strong enough.\"",

            "input": "By Caroline McClatcheyBBC News Magazine When buying a jumper, a piece of furniture or a bag of apples, do you check to see where it has come from? Do people care whether it was designed, manufactured or grown by British firms or farms? These are troubling times for Britain's manufacturing sector, once a relative bright spot in the country's lacklustre recovery, which contracted at its fastest pace in more than two years in October, as new orders plummeted. But there is unlikely to be a clamour for consumers to start buying British. In the US, people are used to hearing the phrase \"buy American\". It is seen as one of the ways of putting Americans back to work. Adverts proudly proclaim how the product was born and bred in America, and closer to home, many French people would not dream of drinking anything other than French wine or driving anything other than a French car. There have been many Buy British initiatives over the years. Perhaps the most famous was the I'm Backing Britain campaign in the late 1960s. It began in December 1967 when five secretaries at a ventilation and heating company volunteered to work an extra half hour each day without pay to do their bit for the flagging economy. It took on a life of its own and within the week, other companies were following suit. Union jacks started to appear everywhere, the government endorsed the campaign and popular newspapers threw their weight behind it. But it fizzled out within months. The then Labour MP Robert Maxwell launched a rival motto Buy British, a record sung by Bruce Forsyth sold just 7,319 copies, and campaign T-shirts were found to have been made in Portugal. The song's chorus had the line: \"The feeling is growing, so let's keep it going, the good times are blowing our way.\" Surely British shoppers and workers could do with a similar injection of national pride in these economic dire straits? John Lewis certainly thinks so. Last week, the retailer launched a new campaign to champion British manufacturing. From early next year, a Made in UK logo will start appearing on ticketing and online product information to highlight British-made products. Other business leaders have also recently floated the idea, including the managing director of organic food brand Yeo Valley. Earlier this year, Merseyside cooker company Stoves launched a Made in Britain campaign and says some 250 manufacturers are now using the logo. But it will take more than a handful of firms to change the British consumer mentality, says Vincent-Wayne Mitchell, professor of consumer marketing at the Cass Business School, City University London. He says the default setting is unpatriotic because shoppers believe \"German salami is better than British salami and French wine is better than British wine\". Empire and immigration has led to the British consumer becoming \"much less parochial\". \"It takes a great deal of effort to change consumer consciousness. The government needs to be behind a campaign to give it economic credibility.\" But despite daily doomsday reports about high unemployment and low growth, the politicians have not been ordering us to go and buy British. Why? Political pundit Kevin Maguire says it would be a bit like shooting yourself in the foot. \"It would be very hard for Cameron to stand up and say Buy British, when half of our exports go to the EU. If they did the same half our exports would no longer go there.\" The Department for Business, Innovation and Skills says the UK relies on open markets and a Buy British campaign would be counter-productive. \"UK companies need to be able to access global markets so restricting access to the UK or the EU market could all too easily encourage retaliation, which would leave everyone worse off.\" Food is one sector where the Buy British idea is having an impact. The farming industry has been trying to reverse a decline in the amount of British produce consumed - it has fallen from 75% in the early 1990s to 60% - through various campaigns. The Red Tractor logo marks British food regarded as having high standards of safety and hygiene, animal welfare and environmental protection. \"Some food manufacturers have stepped forward and said they are only going to use British ingredients. Country Life is a very good example of that,\" says Sarah Whitelock, from the National Farmers Union. Although consumers may be thinking more about where their food comes from and how many miles it travelled to reach their plate, the same cannot be said for their trainers, tables or television sets. Prof Mitchell says the impulse to buy British tends to be associated with more expensive goods. This means it can often be a choice between buying a luxury shirt made in the UK from London's Jermyn Street and buying a mass-produced shirt made in China from any High Street retailer. In addition to price, another problem for any Buy British campaign could be that many people assume that nothing is manufactured in the UK. While the days of millions of people employed in industries producing large volumes of low-value goods may be a distant memory, the UK is the sixth largest manufacturer in the world by output and a leading exporter of high-tech goods. And there are plenty of other statistics to blow away the rumours of the sector's demise - manufacturing is the third largest sector in the UK, after business services and wholesale/retail, and output reached an all-time high in 2007. The UK is producing more with fewer people, and like most modern economies, the focus has turned to higher-value items such as aerospace and defence equipment. Mat Hunter, chief design officer for the Design Council, says many people imagine that the UK is devoid of manufacturing since production started to move to the Far East, but there is in its place a rich mix of high-tech manufacturing, such as race-car makers McLaren, and artisanal producers such as furniture makers Ercol. Terry Scuoler, chief executive of EEF, the manufacturers' association, admits the sector does have an image problem. \"There's an image out there that Britain is not a manufacturing giant. While we have lost a number of iconic brands, we are still a major manufacturer. We might not be making jets but we make very large parts of them. \"Britain is a big car manufacturer. Nissan, Honda, BMW have plants in the UK.\" Therein lies another problem - what counts as a British product? Scuoler says this is irrelevant and any campaign should be Made in Britain, not Buy British. He says foreign-owned firms are a massive part of our economy and are big investors and employers. \"Made in Britain would be a healthy banner and a healthy battle cry. The issue is not British ownership. It's about investing in Britain.\" Hunter thinks a Buy British campaign sounds like a throwback to the post-war years and it actually has a different meaning in today's globalised world. \"I don't think it's about spending your money at home in a xenophobic way. It's about dispelling the myth that we no longer make anything and don't develop anything wonderful.\"",

Kate Stewart, who runs The Sandon pub next to Liverpool FC, said: \"The amount of uncertainly is just crippling. \"I've got women who are working for me who are coming in and actually sobbing to me because they don't know whether they are going to have a job.\" Mrs Stewart told the BBC she wasn't sure whether to open at all: \"Is it going to be worth me even opening the doors because people are going to be so scared and so worried they probably aren't going to come out anyway? \"The amount of uncertainly and unknowing is just crippling, and it's crippling people's mental health as well.\" 'Worst of both worlds' Industry body UK Hospitality (UKH) said that many were already \"reaching the point of no return\". New rules announced by Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Monday divided the country into three zones. Venues in \"tier 3\" will receive financial support. Those in the \"tier 2\" areas, including large parts of the North and Midlands, will lose custom, with households no longer allowed to mix indoors. And these businesses would experience \"the worst of both worlds\", not being eligible for the extra assistance outlined last week, the industry group said. Nick MacKenzie, chief executive of the Greene King pub chain, which has about 2,700 pubs across the country, told the BBC his employees were working flat out to adjust: \"We are going to do everything we can to get our pubs back open, but it's getting harder and harder. \"We need further support from government for those pubs in tier 2.\" He said some of his staff faced losing their homes, as they lived in the pub. UKH has warned a lack of support for hospitality businesses in tiers 1 and 2 could threaten more than half a million jobs. The chief executive of Best Western hotel Group, Rob Paterson, said the ban on households mixing meant his firm was now bracing itself for \"some pretty difficult times\". \"With each restriction, it feels like death by a thousand cuts, because each strikes at the confidence of customers,\" he said. \"Even with a curfew of 10pm and groups of six, bookings haven't happened. We've started to write off a big amount of trade. Work office parties can't have a table of six. It's only going to get worse and worse. We've written off Christmas.\" The government's new three-tier system of restrictions mean in parts of England worst hit by the coronavirus bars will close, although restaurants may remain open. In \"tier 2\" areas, which include Manchester, Birmingham, Nottingham and many other cities, socialising is restricted to members of your own household or bubble. Tier 1 areas continue with lighter restrictions: the rule of six and the 22:00 curfew. \"For those businesses in tier 3 areas, forced to close their doors again, things look bleak, but the support announced last week for closed businesses will hopefully give them the breathing room they need to survive another lockdown,\" said UK Hospitality chief executive Kate Nicholls. \"There is currently a concerning lack of support on offer for hospitality businesses in tier 2, and to a lesser extent tier 1, despite their facing restrictions that is seeing trade down by between 40% to 60%.\" 'Percolating effect' Bars, gyms, casinos, leisure centres and betting shops across Liverpool must close from Wednesday, leaving businesses there \"bewildered, frustrated and angry\", according to Liverpool Chamber of Commerce Chief Executive Paul Cherpeau. But it wasn't only those businesses that will feel the impact, he said. \"Whilst our visitor economy will bear the brunt of these new restrictions, the percolating effect on supply chains is hugely concerning.\" Firms from taxi companies to food and beverage suppliers are likely to feel the impact of the new measures. \"Brewery sales have collapsed because of the uncertainty of further restrictions, as pubs fear they will be closed,\" said Ian Fozard, chairman of the Society of Independent Brewers. \"While pubs that are legally closed are being offered financial support, this does not seem to apply to small breweries that will lose more than 80% of their sales.\" Andrew Selley, chief executive of Bidfood, which supplies food to a range of outlets from pubs and cinemas to schools and hospitals, said the government had failed to recognise the knock-on impact on firms like his. \"They have supported hospitality and it's warranted, because hospitality is under pressure. What they haven't done is give any support to the supply chain that supports hospitality, education and healthcare. We've had no direct grants, no business rates relief, no rent assistance.\"",

There will also be £30m to support programmes to address issues of mental health and severe deprivation. A further £100m goes to the long-term transformation of the health service. Under the confidence and supply deal, the DUP agree to back the Conservatives in key votes - such as a Budget and a confidence motion - but are not tied into supporting them on other measures. Capital spending for key infrastructure projects will receive a £200m boost. The budget for the next financial year also includes an above inflation increase in domestic rates. In a written ministerial statement, Karen Bradley said domestic rates will rise by 4.5%, a step which she describes as \"necessary and important\" to continue to support public services, particularly in health and education. Business rates will, by contrast, only rise by 1.5%, in line with inflation and the current small business rate relief scheme will continue. The rate increase by the secretary of state contrasts with the policy adopted by Stormont finance ministers over the last decade, which has been to freeze domestic regional rates, only increasing them in line with the rate of inflation. Mrs Bradley said she had engaged intensively with the Northern Ireland Civil Service (NICS) to understand the needs of local departments. She pointed out that it would be open to a restored executive, of course, to consider and revise the financial position in the future. 'Difficult and distressing' DUP leader Arlene Foster welcomed the inclusion of the £410m from the confidence and supply agreement. \"Cynics doubted the confidence and supply money would ever be delivered, but today it has helped achieve an improved budget compared to the one that many feared,\" she said. \"Our efforts will help alleviate pressures in health and education, tackle issues with mental health and deprivation, transform our NHS and build new infrastructure.\" Sinn Féin Vice-President Michelle O'Neill called for a British-Irish Intergovernmental conference to pave the way for power-sharing to be restored. \"This is a disappointing budget which doesn't provide the resources needed for the public services our people need and deserve,\" she said. \"It's not good for householders, for victims, for health, for our economy, our colleges or the homeless.\" Sinn Fein's Máirtín Ó Muilleoir said the money pledged to the DUP - billed as additional funding, was in fact simply being used to \"plug the gaps\". \"The DUP money isn't additional at all - it's fully thumbs in the dyke time,\" he said. The SDLP's Claire Hanna said the announcement represented a \"direct rule budget from London directed by the DUP\". \"The failure of the DUP and Sinn Féin to restore power-sharing has given London and the DUP a free hand in our affairs,\" she said. \"We have reached a very difficult and distressing point.\" Ulster Unionist leader Robin Swann said those likely to complain the loudest about the \"step towards direct rule are the very same people who are blocking the local institutions in the first place. \"In the past they have also proven themselves to be fiscally incompetent, so I suspect their morally vacuous cries will now land on deaf ears.\"",

Pupils are being grouped together in \"bubbles\" in an attempt to limit the spread of the virus in the case of an outbreak. Kirsty Williams thanked affected schools for their \"immediate action\". After a staggered start to the term, all year groups are due back full time from Monday. Government guidance to schools says they should group pupils together and avoid contact between groups as much as possible, but how this is done will depend on each individual school. What's happening in schools across Wales? Public Health Wales data released at the end of last week indicated that there had been 36 cases in 31 schools. All Year 7 children at two Newport secondary schools were told to self-isolate after pupils tested positive for coronavirus and a Bridgend school told more than 200 pupils to stay at home. But the number of schools has risen over the weekend and it is believed it could be closer to 50. In Cardiff, eight pupils and three members of staff from Llanishen Fach Primary School have been asked to self-isolate. Another 57 pupils and two staff members from Whitchurch High School are also self isolating. A Welsh Government spokesperson said the operational guidance for schools made it clear that \"small, consistent groups help reduce the risk of transmission by limiting the number of learners and staff in contact with each other\". How do 'bubbles' work at school? At Olchfa Comprehensive School in Swansea, head teacher Hugh Davies believes they are well-prepared. The school's 1,800 pupils are being organised in separate groups in six learning zones. \"Essentially what we're doing here is making sure that children of different age groups are kept separate - this is the idea that you might have heard of as the bubble,\" he said. \"So in our school's case we have six learning zones...and the idea is that those pupils come in separately at the start of the day, they take their breaks separately, they eat separately, they go home separately and therefore tracking and tracing can work more effectively if, God forbid, we had an outbreak. \"I think the name of the game at this point has to be to stay as calm as you can, to respond to events as they occur and just deal with them in a calm way.\" So what do pupils think? Gagany, 14, said: \"At first I was quite anxious to go back because I thought there was no security measures put into place for school, because in Olchfa there is a lot of students and it's quite impossible to social distance everyone. \"But I think they found a method to find a good way to socially distancing everyone and we have our own bubble, so we stick to our bubble and we have a learning zone. \"By following these measures it keeps everyone safe and secure from the virus.\" Max, 14, said: \"I think it's definitely taken a lot of getting used to, especially coming to school - there's certain gates we have to come through and zones you have to go through, rules you have to abide by. \"But I think anyone who's been alive in the last six months would understand how Covid works and the reasons we're taking the safety measures and I think that as long as everything's in place it's the best for everyone.\" Danny, 14, said: \"They are very straightforward rules. \"Moving classroom to classroom you do notice it if you are paying attention to everything around, but the teaching hasn't changed. It's gone really smoothly.\" Thomas, 14, said: \"I was initially quite worried... through lockdown up until we came back. But since we came back I've got more confident and it's a new normal, so we have obviously been in our bubbles and we've adapted to that very easily.\"",

A statement said: \"We want to apologise to both Claire Foy and to Matt Smith, brilliant actors and friends.\" Foy played Queen Elizabeth II in the drama alongside Smith as Prince Philip. The producers' statement added: \"As the producers of The Crown, we at Left Bank Pictures are responsible for budgets and salaries; the actors are not aware of who gets what, and cannot be held personally responsible for the pay of their colleagues. \"We understand and appreciate the conversation which is rightly being played out across society and we are absolutely united with the fight for fair pay, free of gender bias, and for a rebalancing of the industry's treatment of women, both those in front of the camera and for those behind the scenes. \"We all have a responsibility to do what we can to ensure that these issues are tackled, and as a leading production company we want to make our contribution to the debate.\" The company added that it was \"engaged in conversations\" with ERA 50:50, which lobbies for equal representation for actresses, and was \"keen to talk\" to the Time's Up movement. The pay gap between Foy and Smith was revealed last week, when the producers said Smith was worth more because of his higher profile from his days in Doctor Who. Foy was reportedly paid $40,000 (£28,000) per episode for the first two series of The Crown. It is unclear what Smith was paid. According to Variety, co-producer Suzanne Mackie last week said that in the future, the lead actress would not be paid less. \"Going forward, no-one gets paid more than the queen,\" she said. Olivia Colman will play the monarch in the third series. The identity of the actor playing the Duke of Edinburgh hasn't been revealed.

But this time, the hijacked vessels moored offshore were gone - so too were the conspicuously expensive 4 x 4 vehicles with tinted windows that we had seen racing past us. \"We knew it was wrong. But we did it anyway,\" said Farah, a man in his 30s, who walked across the beach to show me his fishing boat. He admitted he had been a shore-based pirate leader in Eyl, running a crew of 23 men who had hijacked a Turkish fishing boat and a South Korean cargo vessel in 2008. \"They dropped the ransoms from a small plane into the sea,\" he explained - $1.8m and $2m (£1.3m) in turn. \"We spent it, or gave it away. The religious leaders and the government persuaded us to stop. I would never become a pirate again. I am just an ordinary fisherman now,\" he said, although that seemed at odds with his noticeably expensive clothes. As we spoke, local officials at the edge of the village were marshalling a crowd. They started to chant slogans - mostly aimed at foreign fishing trawlers, which they said were plundering Somalia's coastal resources, and making it impossible for them to make a living from fishing. If the protest seemed a little contrived, the frustrations in Eyl are certainly not. I joined a group of men in the local teashop, who bitterly condemned the lack of development, and employment. \"If I don't get a job soon, then yeah, sure, maybe I can go back to piracy. Anything can happen. All these people can be pirates,\" said unemployed teacher Daoud Ali Mohamed, 28, gesturing around the room. For years it has been an accepted truth that in the long term, Somali piracy can only be conclusively dealt with onshore. The foreign warships patrolling off the coast - and the armed guards now present on many vessels - have been effective, but the pirates \"are not dead, but dormant now, so they will come definitely... straight away, no question about it [as soon as the warships leave],\" said Puntland's Counter-Piracy Minister Abdalla Jama Saleh. Puntland at a glance: Find out more about Puntland Four hours drive away from Eyl, in Puntland's capital, Garowe, a brand new prison is the most visible sign of the outside world's attempt to fight piracy ashore. The UK is among a group of European nations that paid for its construction. \"It's already reduced piracy. It helped young people to see that other colleagues are in prison... for long, long sentences. It's a warning signal. And it is to rehabilitate inmates,\" said Abdirizak Jama, from the United Nation's Office on Drugs and Crime. But although the prison looks clean and impressively secure - a particularly important advantage in a region where prisons raids and escapes are commonplace - the 17 convicted pirates I saw all appeared to be \"foot soldiers\" rather than pirate leaders. \"I do not deserve to be here,\" said 20-year-old Yusuf Galgal, who'd been caught at sea and put on trial in the Seychelles. \"I was underage when I was sentenced.\" The cells also contained a number of convicted members of the militant group al-Shabab, including Aweil Ali Farah, 27, who was sentenced to death. \"I was a school teacher. Someone had a grudge against me and told the police. I'm not in al-Shabab. They're terrorists, fundamentalists, Islamists. I'm waiting for the death penalty. I'm worried,\" he said, showing where he'd written: \"There is no justice here,\" on his red prison uniform. In his heavily guarded compound on a nearby hilltop, Puntland's President Abdiweli Ali Gaas urged the international community to do much more, both onshore and at sea. Accusing the west of \"double standards,\" the president said foreign navies were only concerned about stopping Somali piracy - which more or less halted in 2012 - and were doing nothing to tackle the \"highway robbery\" of foreign fishing trawlers [largely Iranian] plundering Somalia's natural resources. \"This may rekindle the issue of piracy,\" President Abdiweli warned. But the issue is complicated. After decades of internal conflict, Somalia is still struggling to negotiate the terms of its reintegration as a nation-state. Different administrations have been issuing fishing licenses, and while Puntland believes it is currently being cheated of hundreds of millions of dollars in revenues, there are deep concerns about corruption. \"There's uncertainty between the federal government [of Somalia] and regions [like Puntland] for fishing companies regarding the validity of licenses and who to buy from,\" said Alan Cole, who heads the UNODC's anti-piracy programme in East Africa. Puntland now has its own well-trained Maritime Police Force, funded by the UAE. But it is far too small to patrol even a portion of Somalia's coastline - the longest on the continent.",

On the opening day of the trial in Beijing on Wednesday, media report that Li Tianyi pleaded not guilty to gang raping a woman in a hotel in February. The case is a closed-door trial because it involves minors, whose privacy must be protected by law. However, the case is still on the front pages of most newspapers because of huge public interest. \"A large amount of public discontent has poured out at Li Tianyi's case... Many people want him to pay a heavier price than offenders from ordinary family backgrounds... The court should treat Li Tianyi as an ordinary minor... The court should forget who Li Tianyi is the son of,\" says the Global Times. The hearing continues today. Another major scandal that is dominating the media is an ongoing investigation into detained Guangdong native and US citizen Charles Xue (also known as Xue Manzi) for allegedly hiring prostitutes for \"sex parties\". Mr Xue has been shown on state television appearing to have \"confessed\" to the charges. However, Mr Xue's detention coincides with a widening crackdown on \"big Vs\", or well-known microbloggers or internet commentators, on all kinds of charges such as \"online rumour mongering\" or simply venting anger at the authorities. \"In the social media environment, internet Big Vs have a certain reputation and influence... Internet big Vs should take 'Xue Manzi' as a warning to adhere strictly to a moral and legal bottom line,\" comments the People's Daily. \"We believe Xue Manzi should indeed 'admit defeat'. His supporters should not continue to defend him. If liberals 'wash away' Xue Manzi's soliciting of prostitutes, this is definitely not a wise move. It cannot save Xue's reputation... We hope that this incident is not over-'politicised',\" stresses the Global Times. Syria warning Turning to international news, China's official media warn again that a US-led military strike on Syrian government forces will violate international law if there is no credible evidence from United Nations weapons inspectors that Bashar al-Assad's forces are using chemical weapons. \"By putting the blame on the government before the UN chemical weapons inspectors complete their independent investigations and reach an authentic and credible conclusion, they are acting as judge, jury and executioner. The international community should exercise patience instead of allowing itself to be led by the nose by US intelligence, which after all was responsible for claiming Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction,\" says the state-run China Daily. \"Unfortunately, the US and some other Western countries seem to have decided on a 'presumption of guilt' instead of an objective investigation and on military intervention instead of political dialogue... The international community can only remain vigilant against such brazen hegemonist acts,\" says a front-page commentary in the People's Daily Overseas Edition, a Communist Party mouthpiece. Some newspapers are praising New Zealand dairy giant Fonterra for its handling of a botulism scare that sparked global recalls of its milk products earlier this month. New Zealand officials say that further tests of the products have revealed a different strain of bacteria that posed no danger to consumers. \"The 'false alarm' triggered by the Fonterra tainted dairy incident is very instructive. This case has provided a model for how businesses and governments should act when faced with food safety incidents,\" says The Beijing News.

They said they decided, after the talks, that the centre was no longer viable. The Maze housed paramilitary prisoners during the Troubles from 1971 - 2000. Ten republican prisoners died on hunger strike there. Over the years, the scheme to redevelop the former prison site, near Lisburn in County Antrim, has been controversial. First Minister Peter Robinson said: \"What the SEUPB is doing is the sensible and practical step of ensuring the money doesn't find itself going down some black hole. \"It allows them time to look at other projects and spend the money elsewhere.\" He added: \"When we looked at the issue of the peace centre we made it very clear that what was required was to get support across the community, that there had to be a broad level of support, and of course if at any time that is achieved then there are other opportunities for funding. \"But at this stage it's very clear that the SEUPB doesn't believe that it's possible to get it within the period of time necessary. \"I don't think there's any difficulty whether it's Europe or whether it's elsewhere that we go for the funding - if there was the level of support that's necessary, I'm pretty sure the funding would fit into place very quickly.\" Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness said on BBC Radio Ulster's Talkback programme that he was disappointed at the withdrawal of funding and added that he had not given up on the project. \"I still hold out hope that at some stage we'll see it constructed at Long Kesh. I will authorise no other projects (apart from Royal Ulster Agricultural Society's move to the site) on that site until people come to their senses,\" he said. \"What is at the heart of this is power-sharing. From my perspective I want to share power but I can't do it on my own. \"The peace centre is a government commitment which has to be honoured. If it isn't, then it damages the power-sharing project.\" The peace money will now be re-allocated to other projects. These will be based in either Northern Ireland or the border counties of the Republic of Ireland. BBC Northern Ireland political editor Mark Devenport said: \"They may have some difficulties finding other projects because it was by far and away one of the biggest projects to be funded by that programme but they are now looking around to see how they can spend that money.\" During the summer, First Minister Peter Robinson stalled the plans to build the peace centre as part of the development of the site of the former Maze prison, a decision that caused tension between his party, the DUP, and Sinn Féin. Mr Robinson said there needed to be a broad consensus on how it would operate and what it would contain - and that is currently absent, in his view. On Monday, Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness said there could be no development of the wider Maze site unless it was on the basis of previous agreements about the building of a peace centre. 'No longer viable' In its statement on Friday, the Special EU Programmes Body (SEUPB) said: \"The SEUPB has been in discussions with the lead partner in relation to the viability of the Peace Building and Conflict Resolution Centre. \"It has been agreed that the project is no longer viable at this time and the SEUPB has therefore rescinded the letter of offer. The SEUPB will now consider the re-allocation of funding to suitable projects.\" The European Commissioner for Regional Policy, Johannes Hahn, said: \"This is a project which we supported as a contribution to the reconciliation of the communities in Northern Ireland. \"Sadly, due to the political conditions on the ground it cannot go ahead in this period. \"To be meaningful all communities have to be involved - that unfortunately is not the case. I very much hope we can try again with this project and that for the time being the money from it can be used to fund other projects.\" Last week, Daniel Libeskind, the architect who designed the proposed peace building and reconciliation centre, said he was convinced the scheme would go ahead. Ulster Unionist Tom Elliott, who attended a meeting on Friday morning at which the SEUPB made the announcement, said the one thing he took \"significant comfort\" from was that the £18m would not be lost to Northern Ireland. He said the SEUPB assured those at the meeting that there were a number of other projects that would be eligible for the funding. John Armstrong of the Construction Employers Federation (CEF) said it was another blow to the industry. \"Every project that is stalled or scrapped is costing jobs and hindering economic recovery,\" he said.",

Kremlin-backed forces seized control of the Crimean peninsula, and the territory, which has a Russian-speaking majority, voted to join Russia in a referendum that Ukraine and the West deem illegal. Crimea was annexed by the Russian Empire during the reign of Catherine The Great in 1783 and remained part of Russia until 1954, when it was transferred to Ukraine under the then Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev. Ethnic Russians make up the majority of the population, but with significant Ukrainian and Crimean Tatar minorities. Under Greek and Roman influence for centuries, in 1443 Crimea became the centre of a Tatar Khanate, which later fell under Ottoman control. Rival imperial ambitions in the mid 19th century led to the Crimean War when Britain and France, suspicious of Russian ambitions in the Balkans as the Ottoman Empire declined, sent troops. Given autonomous republic status within Russia after the Bolshevik revolution, Crimea was occupied by the Nazis in the early 1940s. Tatar deportation Stalin accused the Tatars of collaborating with the German occupiers and deported them en masse to Central Asia and Siberia in 1944. Many did not survive. Only as the Soviet Union collapsed were they allowed to return. By the time over a quarter of a million did so in the early 1990s, it was to an independent Ukraine where they faced very high unemployment and extremely poor housing conditions. There were persistent tensions and protests over land rights, and allocation of land to Crimean Tatars was a contentious issue. After Ukrainian independence, political figures from the local Russian community sought to assert sovereignty and strengthen ties with Russia through a series of moves declared unconstitutional by the Ukrainian government. The 1996 Ukrainian constitution stipulated that Crimea would have autonomous republic status, but insisted that Crimean legislation must be in keeping with that of Ukraine. Crimea has its own parliament and government with powers over agriculture, public infrastructure and tourism. The Crimean Tatars have their own unofficial parliament, the Mejlis, which states its purpose as being to promote the rights and interests of the Crimean Tatars. Ukraine-Russia tension The port of Sevastopol is a major naval base and has been home to the Black Sea Fleet since 1783. Following the collapse of the USSR, the fleet was divided up between Russia and Ukraine. The continuing presence of the Russian fleet in Sevastopol has been a focus of tension between Russia and Ukraine. In 2008, Ukraine - then under the pro-Western President Viktor Yushchenko - demanded that Moscow not use the Black Sea Fleet during the its conflict with Georgia. Both countries had agreed to allow the Russian fleet to stay until 2017, but after the election of the pro-Russian Viktor Yanukovych as president in 2010, Ukraine agreed to extend the lease by 25 years beyond 2017, in return for cheaper Russian gas.",

Town councillor Stuart Davies, who organised the petition, said at least four falls had been caught on camera on Llangollen's main shopping street with another woman seen falling in front of a moving car, which just stopped in time. 'Absolute death trap' While another man said he tripped over a bollard outside a chip shop on Castle Street, landing heavily on his knee while on a day out with his wife. Keith Wilson, 52, said the bollard bases were \"hardly visible and an absolute death trap\". He added the fall left his knee \"swollen and bruised\" and he could \"hardly walk\". The owner of one of the shops on Castle Street said the bollards needed to be taken down immediately as \"so far people have been lucky and there have been no deaths of people being hit by traffic.\" Sian Glynne-Jones, owner of Courtyard Books, said there had been many falls caused by the temporary street furniture, including a man who she said broke his nose and an elderly woman who needed to be taken to hospital. On one occasion she said a man was stopped falling into a chip shop window by a bicycle which was \"completely ruined\" as a result. \"We cannot wait for them to be replaced in several weeks' time,\" said Ms Glynne-Jones.

Labour's defeated candidate in the Newark poll, which the Conservatives won, has called for an investigation. The Conservatives say all spending was recorded in accordance with the law. Earlier this week, Channel 4 News said it had obtained hotel bills which suggested the party broke electoral rules in the Newark, Clacton and Rochester & Strood by-elections, the first of which the Conservatives won and the other two it lost to UKIP. Conservative MP Robert Jenrick, who won the Newark contest, told BBC News he was \"very confident\" his election expenses were compiled \"in complete compliance with the law\". \"The allegations that were on Channel 4 News are, as far as I can see, completely unfounded,\" he added. Campaign spending in by-elections is limited to £100,000 for each party. But Channel 4 News' political correspondent Michael Crick said he had uncovered £56,866.75 of undeclared hotel bills in Rochester, which would have taken the party £53,659.83 over the £100,000 limit. The programme found bills totalling £26,786.14 in Clacton, which would have taken the party £10,835.36 over the limit, and receipts totalling £10,459.30 in Newark, which would mean an overspend of £6,650.28. Michael Payne, who represented Labour in the Newark by-election, wrote to Nottinghamshire Police on Tuesday asking it to look into claims of \"undeclared\" spending by his rivals, saying he wanted reassurance that electoral laws and procedures had been complied with. Nottinghamshire Police confirmed it had received an e-mail on the issue, adding: \"This is the first communication we have received. The force will review the content of the communication, but we should make it clear that no investigation has been launched at this time.\" The BBC understands that detectives in the Fraud and Financial Crimes Unit at Nottinghamshire Constabulary are handling the case. UKIP leader Nigel Farage, whose party came second in Newark, has said the party will not make a formal complaint but he would support any complaints made by members of the public. A Conservative spokeswoman, speaking on Wednesday, said: \"All by-election spending has been correctly recorded in accordance with the law.\"",

He said he did not know the best way to talk to his three children, now aged 10, eight and five. Ferdinand's wife, Rebecca, was 34 when she died of breast cancer in May 2015. The couple got married in 2009. The ex-Manchester Utd defender was speaking to 5 live ahead of a BBC One documentary about grief on Tuesday at 21:00 BST. Memory jar He told 5 live's Emma Barnett: \"I didn't know any techniques to speak to the children. I didn't know what buttons to push. \"I'd been starting conversations with them to try and get how they were feeling out, and they would just shut me down, walk away, close the conversation down completely.\" In the BBC One programme, Ferdinand starts a memory jar for the family, enabling the children to talk about the happy moments when their mum was alive. He said: \"It kind of opened everything up and it was a beautiful moment just seeing them talk happily and being joyful about their mum rather than it being sad and negative moments. \"It switched it from dark to bright.\" 'A work-in-progress' Ferdinand also said that, in the wake of Rebecca's death, he now understands why people contemplate suicide. He told 5 live: \"When you come into this situation you understand suicide, you understand people who do that and have those thoughts. \"I didn't think about it myself but I understand now how people get to that situation. \"I can't judge people like that now, whereas before I'd be sitting there, probably with Rebecca, saying that guy is so ignorant and selfish how has he just done that - left three beautiful kids. \"Now I could say I understand how he got to that point. I wouldn't do it, but I understand how he's there. You do get to those levels - and so it's a work-in-progress. Ferdinand said: \"At the beginning I'd sit and think how am I ever going to be happy? \"I can't see a point where I'm ever going to be able to smile, because I can get happy over here, but then I look at my children - and that brings you right back into sadness again because they haven't got a mum.\" Throughout Tuesday's programme, he meets other widowers and talks to them about rebuilding a life and moving on. But he would not be drawn on his own relationships, saying he was \"disappointed\" that there had been speculation about his private life, after recent photos in a tabloid newspaper linked him with a reality TV star. 'No right time' He told 5 live: \"That's disappointing... protecting my children is always the biggest thing for me... and that's what I'm fearful of with things being in the press. \"But the documentary has taught me there isn't a right time for anything like that, for if you're going to move on in a relationship... there is no right time. \"The only person who knows the right time is the person in those shoes. I've never spoken about my relationships in the past, in the public eye, and I'm not going to start talking about relationships or potential relationships that people are reporting on.\" Commenting on how long it takes to recover from bereavement, Ferdinand said the government was \"wrong\" to cut back on the length of time widowed parents can receive a benefit. Changes mean that from 6 April 2017, bereaved parents will only receive payments for 18 months. Previously, the payment lasted until children were 16 years old. He said: \"If I'm honest, I don't understand how the government can actually say there's a timescale on it because there is no timescale on anything to do with bereavement - every individual is different. \"One person may take six months another person may take 10 years. There isn't a time when you can say, 'Yeah I'm over it'. Putting a number on it is the wrong thing to do.\" A spokesman for the Department for Work and Pensions said the Bereavement Support Scheme was designed to help protect families from sudden financial difficulties. He said: \"We are updating an old system that was based on the outdated assumption that a widowed parent relied on their spouse for income, and would never work themselves. This does not reflect people's lives today. He added: \"Once the payments come to an end, there are means-tested benefits which can continue to support the bereaved, especially those who are bringing up children. \"The new payment is easier to claim, won't be taxed and does not affect the amount received from other benefits, helping those on the lowest incomes the most.\"",

SSE said it had set aside a total of £5m to compensate its customers. Earlier this month, SSE was fined £10.5m by the regulator Ofgem, which said it had been guilty of management failures that led to \"prolonged and extensive\" mis-selling. Speaking to MPs on the Energy and Climate Change Committee, the company's deputy chief executive, Alistair Phillips-Davies, promised to compensate customers who lost money as a result. \"If any customer feels they've been disadvantaged since October 2008, they will be compensated,\" he said. He said that 23,000 customers could have been affected, and the average compensation being paid out was between £65 and £70 each. \"If you multiply that up, that makes about a million and a half pounds,\" he said. He said that SSE had placed adverts in national newspapers, and written to 10% of its customer base, to make them aware of possible compensation. Mr Phillips-Davies said the company had altered its training and audit procedures, and it stopped selling contracts on the doorstep in 2011. \"As soon as we knew there was mis-selling, we took action, \" he told the MPs. \"We've said we're sorry,\" he added. Trust MPs persistently asked the energy executives how they were going to rebuild trust in the industry. \"Do you have any conception of public mistrust?\" asked the committee chairman, Tim Yeo. \"Particularly after what happened two weeks ago,\" he added, in reference to Ofgem's record fine for SSE. \"I would have thought for some customers, it would have decreased the level of trust,\" admitted Alistair Phillips-Davies of SSE. \"Although for others, it would not.\" \"We recognise the industry had lost the trust of customers,\" said Tony Cocker, the chief executive of E.On. \"But we are working hard to regain that trust,\" he said. The chief executive of RWE Npower was also contrite on the issue. \"As an industry, we have not helped customers to build trust, because we have not given them the insight and visibility,\" said Paul Massara. \"We have to be more open and transparent,\" he said. Juliet Davenport, the founder of Good Energy, which runs renewable energy projects, told MPs that the market needed further competition. \"Making sure there are more players in this market - that is the key to rebuilding trust,\" she said.

It was a \"worrying\" sign ministers were not \"capable\" of dealing with anything but the coronavirus pandemic, he added. The government said it was still considering options and the proposals would be published \"in due course\". But ministers remained committed to \"levelling up\" power and wealth across the country, a spokesperson said. Boris Johnson has promised the biggest reform of local government in a generation, as part of a plan to close the North/South divide and boost parts of England that voted Tory for the first time in the general election last year. The plans are likely to include the creation of more unitary authorities, ending the overlapping system of county and district councils in many areas, and more elected \"metro mayors\" like those in Greater Manchester and Tees Valley.

Lord O'Neill, who is vice-chairman of the Northern Powerhouse partnership - set up by former chancellor George Osborne to make the north of England more prosperous - said the delay was a cause for concern. He told BBC Somerset's political reporter Ruth Bradley: \"It's consistent with a worrying, reoccurring sign that this government is not really capable of dealing with anything other than the immediacy of Covid-19, which I'm sure some people would have sympathy for. \"But when you start by talking repeatedly about levelling up, and with a prime minister visiting, deliberately, left-behind places to do so, it doesn't really create a very good impression, especially because the left-behind places have almost definitely suffered most from Covid-19. \"This is a mysterious government. It strikes me that it's very long on public relations and rhetoric, but not really figured out how to focus on delivering anything, and it gets more and more disappointing by the week.\" The former Treasury minister added: \"I got very excited when this government came to power and started talking about levelling up and devolution. \"And it's crucially important for a more balanced economic future of the UK and I believe it's vital. But unfortunately for various reasons this government repeatedly seems to keep on finding a reason to either delay it or just not actually pursue the actions that its words suggest they are going to.\" The County Councils Network, which represents 36 mainly Conservative-controlled local authorities across England, said: \"Suggestions that the white paper is to be delayed is disappointing. \"When it is ultimately released, it must follow through on the government's commitment to extend devolution in England and set out a clear blueprint of how this can be achieved in county areas. \"Given the financial and economic shocks of coronavirus, it is imperative that county authorities have as much resource and powers at their disposal to address the issues in their left-behind communities.\" A spokesperson for the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government said: \"We have set out a clear commitment to level up all areas of the country by empowering our regions through devolving money, resources and control away from Westminster. \"We are considering a range of options and will set out our detailed plans in the white paper that will be published in due course.\"",

More than 1,000 protesters have been killed in clashes with security forces and tens of thousands of people have reportedly been detained in crackdowns on opponents of the government. Mr Sisi has also struggled to end an insurgency by jihadist militants based in the Sinai peninsula, who have killed hundreds of security personnel and civilians in unrest which began before he came to power. Rise through the ranks Born in Cairo in 1954, Mr Sisi served in the infantry after graduating from the Egyptian Military Academy in 1977, rising to command a mechanised division. He went on to serve as military attaché in Saudi Arabia, chief-of-staff and then commander of Egypt's Northern Military Zone, before being appointed head of Military Intelligence. The then-general came to prominence in 2011 when he was named a member of the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (Scaf), which took over running Egypt following the popular uprising that forced longtime President Hosni Mubarak to resign. Gen Sisi, who was known as a devout Muslim, was reportedly tasked with liaising with the Muslim Brotherhood, an influential Islamist movement outlawed under Mubarak. In June 2012 Mohammed Morsi, a senior figure in the Brotherhood, became Egypt's first democratically elected president. Two months later, he appointed Gen Sisi commander-in-chief of the military and defence minister. 'Will of the people' The following year, nationwide protests erupted against the president and the Brotherhood-led government, motivated by anger at a perceived drift towards greater Islamist influence on public life, as well as continuing economic hardship. As the pressure mounted at the end of June 2013, Gen Sisi warned that the army would intervene if the government did not respond to \"the will of the people\". On 3 July 2013, Gen Sisi appeared on television to announce that the president had been removed from office, the constitution suspended, and an interim government installed. He said Morsi had failed to fulfil \"the hope for a national consensus\". Tens of thousands of people celebrated in Tahrir Square, chanting \"the people and the army are one hand\" as helicopters flew overhead. Before he was detained, Morsi rejected what he called a \"complete military coup\". He died in prison in 2019 while on trial. 'Crimes against humanity' Muslim Brotherhood supporters and others opposed to the military's actions held protests throughout Egypt, but security forces confronted them with deadly force. Human rights groups said up to 900 protesters were killed in Cairo's Rabaa al-Adawiya and al-Nahda squares on 14 August 2013. The government said many protesters were armed, and that a number of police were also killed. The crackdown on the Brotherhood continued afterwards, with the group's leaders and thousands of its supporters arrested and the organisation once again banned in Egypt. Many were later handed death sentences or lengthy prison terms at mass trials that activists said violated fundamental due process rights. Election In January 2014, Gen Sisi was promoted to field marshal, Egypt's highest army rank, and received the military's blessing for a presidential run. Two months later, he announced his retirement from the military and launched his election campaign. Under the slogan \"Long Live Egypt\", he outlined an ambitious plan to develop agriculture, housing, education and impoverished areas and boost employment. Sisi was elected president in May 2014 with 97% of the vote. On his plans to combat poverty, he pledged that Egyptians would see a better standard of living within two years. He called on the private and public sectors to help the poor by opting for \"lower profit margins\", otherwise the army itself would offer high quality goods at lower prices. Economy However, the standard of living for many in Egypt actually declined during President Sisi's first term in office. The devaluation of Egypt's currency in 2016 and the withdrawal of fuel and other subsidies to meet the terms of a deal with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) affected Egyptians' spending power. Other initiatives included the launch of a number of mega-projects to revive the economy, including a $8.2bn (£6.2bn) expansion of the Suez canal and a new capital expected to cost $45bn (£34bn). The government said its actions were necessary to attract investment and help restore the economy, which suffered considerably with the drop in tourism that followed the 2011 revolution. But many questioned whether the money for those and other projects could have been better used improving infrastructure and public services at a time when many Egyptians were struggling to make ends meet. Jihadist militancy One of President Sisi's biggest challenges has been the security situation in the Sinai Peninsula, which borders Gaza and Israel and is home to Egypt's most active jihadist militants. Although the army launched a security offensive in Sinai shortly after Morsi was ousted, the situation continued to deteriorate, with one local jihadist group pledging allegiance to the Islamic State group in 2014. The group, known as Sinai Province, has mainly attacked military targets. But it also claimed it was behind the downing of a Russian passenger jet over the Sinai peninsula in October 2015, killing all 224 people on board. In late 2017, the president launched a new military campaign against militants killed more than 300 people in a bomb and gun attack on a mosque in northern Sinai. Second term The atmosphere surrounding the 2018 presidential election was very different from the fervour of previous elections. Opposition groups called for a boycott and human rights groups described the vote as \"farcical\" after three other contenders dropped out and another, a former military chief, was arrested. Mr Sisi went on to secure a landslide victory. The following year, controversial constitutional amendments were passed following a referendum. The new laws, which Human Rights Watch said would \"consolidate authoritarian rule\", extended presidential limits and meant that Mr Sisi would be able to remain in power until 2030. Public opposition Public expressions of opposition in Egypt have been curtailed by a 2013 law banning unauthorised demonstrations. However, protesters defied the restrictions in 2016 as public anger grew over Mr Sisi's decision to transfer sovereignty of two Red Sea islands to Saudi Arabia. Demonstrations also took place in late 2019, sparked by a series of videos published by a former military contractor living in self-imposed exile in Spain, who accused Mr Sisi and senior officials of corruption - a charge the president denied. While the protests were relatively small and short-lived, they were the first to directly oppose Mr Sisi's rule in years. International support Although Mr Sisi's government has been criticised over its human rights record, particularly following the murder of the Italian student Giulio Regeni in 2016, it has remained a close US ally. In 2017, Mr Sisi became the first Egyptian leader to visit the White House since the 2011 revolution, and visited again in 2019. The US also agreed to host talks over a long-running dispute between Egypt, Sudan and Ethiopia over a planned Ethiopian dam on the river Nile that was opposed by Egypt. The Egyptian leader - who US President Donald Trump once called \"my favourite dictator\" - has portrayed himself as the only person capable of keeping order in Egypt. \"Be warned, what happened seven or eight years ago will not be repeated in Egypt,\" he said in 2018. \"You don't seem to know me well enough. No, by God, the price of Egypt's stability and security is my life and the life of the army.\"",

            "input": "By Paul O'HareBBC Scotland news website \"You need to take a call. We have found a body in Queen's Park.\" Det Chief Insp Derek Robertson was in the middle of a meeting at Cathcart police office on a late May morning in 2008 when he was interrupted by the urgent message. Ten minutes earlier a ranger had discovered a semi-naked woman's body lying face down behind a privet hedge. Mr Robertson, who was then head of CID for the south side of Glasgow, recalled: \"My first instruction was 'lock the park down - the perimeter of the park is the crime scene.'\" The senior detective had previously trained in disaster and victim identification but it was a bold call that surprised many colleagues as the park covers 148 acres. Detectives were confronted by a chaotic crime scene with business papers and toiletries among the items scattered near the body. The victim had no identification so officers checked missing persons' reports and started ringing round hotels to see if any guests had failed to check out. But recently-dated invoices provided the strongest lead. Mr Robertson said: \"We did not want to declare our hand so we contacted people to say we had found paperwork and just wanted to make sure no fraud had been committed.\" Each request was met with the same answer. The victim - sales executive Moira Jones The documents belonged to a sales executive for drinks giant Britvic. Her name was Moira Jones and she lived in a tenement flat on Queen's Drive, which overlooked the park. No-one was home and after forcing entry to the property officers found family photographs which confirmed their initial suspicions. Moira, 40, had lived in Glasgow for five years but was originally from Weston in Staffordshire. As detectives pieced together her final movements they discovered she left her boyfriend Paul Thompson's flat in Minerva Street, Cranstonhill the previous night after they had an argument. That explained the fact Moira was carrying an overnight bag when she was ambushed, less than 60 yards from her front door. Mr Thompson was taken in for questioning and his home was searched but it quickly became clear he wasn't a suspect. Sexually-motivated crime Experts called to the scene included a botanist and an entomologist, in case insect analysis was required to establish the time of death. Lead forensic scientist Carol Rogers recalls: \"As soon as I saw her I knew it was going to be sexually motivated because of the state of her clothing.\" The belongings discarded by the killer had to be recovered and documented before she could start examining Moira's body. Ms Rogers said: \"There was no obvious entry or approach path so we had to consider any evidence that could be present on the bushes or the shrubbery. \"They are quite good for catching things - fibre, skin, clothes. \"We did find a little blood and hair on the side of the bushes, at the opposite side from where Moira was, so we could establish that she had been injured in there.\" The detective - Derek Robertson Under the cover of a tent, Ms Rogers recovered a treasure trove of forensic evidence. One discovery in particular proved hugely significant. Ms Rogers said: \"There was no semen externally on Moira's body at all which meant I could go to court and say that when sexual intercourse had occurred she was either unconscious or dead. \"She certainly never moved afterwards.\" This meant the killer could not claim the sex was consensual and that someone else must have killed Moira after they parted company. A post-mortem examination later revealed the businesswoman suffered 65 injuries during an ordeal which lasted more than two hours. The savage nature of the crime suggested it was not the work of a first offender. Ms Rogers said: \"We processed the intimate swabs and worked through the night and into Saturday. \"We got a full DNA profile from the scene and then got no hit on the database.\" The UK system also failed to deliver a match. The forensic scientist - Carol Rogers During the early stage of the investigation suspicion fell on the 22 registered sex offenders living nearby. Police also compiled a list of everyone who had committed a criminal offence in or around the park, including underage drinkers. Both lines of inquiry drew a blank. Cracker-style criminal profilers and geographical profilers - who study crime scenes for clues as to where killers might live and work - were also recruited. Officers on the ground carried out extensive door-to-door inquiries and took more than 3,000 statements and 250 DNA samples. And a dedicated CCTV team collected and studied hours of footage. On 2 June, with the killer still at large, Moira's devastated family agreed to issue a media appeal. Afterwards Det Chief Insp Robertson told journalists that his team had established a point of first contact between Moira - who was 5ft 4in and less than nine stone - and her killer. A piece of handbag strap and some toiletries had been recovered on a grass island on Queen's Drive. The spot was just 10 yards from where Moira parked her black Toyota Rav4, at about 23:30 on 28 May. This became known as the \"strike scene\". The next breakthrough in mapping Moira's movements was provided by CCTV from an unlikely source. A passing First Bus captured footage of a couple crossing Langside Road and walking along the perimeter of the park. Mr Robertson said: \"He is monstrously bigger than Moira. \"He has control of her and he has control of her property [an overnight bag]. \"He is deciding where she is going.\" In light of what happened next, Ms Rogers said: \"The CCTV from the bus, I think, is the worst thing I have ever seen. It's horrendous.\" A holly bush near the tennis courts was identified as the second key location after a witness told police he had seen a couple there. A search recovered six buttons from Moira's blouse and a cigarette butt, which matched the suspect's DNA. Her body was found the following morning near the centre of the park, more than 300m away. Meanwhile, the CCTV trawl uncovered footage of a mystery man leaving the park, near Queen's Park Baptist Church on Balvicar Drive, at 02:15. Separate clips captured the same figure, who had a distinctive swagger, discarding a laptop and then checking the back of his hand as he walked along Nithsdale Road. Detectives consulted the UK National Criminal Database to see if such an offending pattern had been seen before - but the killer's identity remained a mystery. Mr Robertson said: \"We were checking everybody out and we were doing everything but our intelligence was still pretty poor. \"Basically, what we were dealing with was a ghost.\" Research into previous sex attacks in the area then highlighted a recent unsolved case, near the new Victoria Infirmary Hospital. This led to an extension of house-to-house inquiries. On 12 June Det Chief Insp Robertson was in the gym hall at Cathcart police station with the CCTV team when he was interrupted. Name for 'Male One' The officer said: \"Boss, you need to hear about this. \"I think we have a breakthrough.\" An Eastern European witness had been traced. He added: \"She is living in a bedsit round the corner. \"She said a guy visited her for a few days and left after Moira was killed.\" It had taken two weeks but police finally had a name for the profile which had been labelled Male One. The killer - Slovakian Marek Harcar The \"ghost\" was Marek Harcar. Czech-born housekeeper Lucie Pechtlova told police she met Harcar the previous year when they worked in Liverpool. The Slovakian arrived in Glasgow on 18 May and spent his time drinking heavily and watching pornography. Harcar, 32, slept in the same bed as Lucie but she always turned down his sexual advances. Around 22:00 on 28 May the former soldier left the bedsit for his first and last night out in Glasgow, returning at 03:15 the following day. From then on Lucie said Harcar, who was a 6ft 3in kickboxing enthusiast, appeared \"scared of something\". At dawn on 1 June he walked out of 38 Queen's Drive and fled Scotland, without his belongings. Lucie packed his possessions into a bag and threw it in a cupboard. The contents were later sent to the lab where Ms Rogers focused on two stains on Harcar's black and white duvet. In the early hours of 14 June, she phoned Mr Robertson and began by apologising for the delay. He said: \"No bother, Carol. Just tell me.\" She replied: \"It's him.\" Three days later the Crown Office obtained a European Arrest Warrant and faxed it to the Slovakian authorities. And within 24 hours Harcar was arrested hiding in a friend's house in the rural village of Nalepkovo, in the Kosice region. Among the items recovered were his black leather jacket, which was later found to have tiny specks of Moira's blood on it. The extradition process took four weeks to rubber stamp and on 16 July Harcar arrived back in the UK. Mr Robertson said: \"I remember one of the things he said was that we were working with Disney in America to superimpose him into the CCTV images. \"I thought 'If that's his defence then I've done my job properly'.\" 'Wickedness rarely encountered' The killer maintained his innocence but after a 21-day trial at the High Court in Glasgow the jury returned a unanimous guilty verdict on 8 April, 2009. Lord Bracadale ordered him to spend a minimum of 25 years behind bars. He told Harcar: \"Your conduct that night reflects a level of wickedness very rarely encountered.\" The court heard he had 13 previous convictions, including four for violence. Mr Robertson said: \"There was a horrible coldness about the whole thing. \"It was as if he was totally devoid of human feeling for what he was doing.\" Moira's parents, Bea and Hu, and brother, Grant, attended court every day and sat through hours of harrowing evidence. The parents - Bea and Hu Jones They later launched The Moira Fund to help families who have lost loved ones in tragic circumstances. The 10th anniversary comes less than two months after what would have been Moira's 50th birthday. Ms Rogers, who is now a trustee of the Moira Fund, said: \"I will never, ever forget it. \"It is just one of those real horror stories of a girl going home and being grabbed off the street.\" Mr Robertson, who retired in 2016, said: \"I always think of the family every year. \"I have tremendous empathy for them. \"One night in Glasgow changed their lives forever.\"",

But here, on the Dublin waterfront, next to U2's recording studio, is Facebook's European headquarters. Far from working on boring spreadsheets, staff are ploughing through reports of pornography, hate-speech and bullying. If one of Facebook's 300 million users feels the need to report abuse, there's a good chance it will pop up on a screen here. With Facebook's many features, there are a number of different ways bullying can take place on the site. \"Groups are the most public thing we see, with individuals making groups about each other in a manner meant to be abusive,\" says Marina, who leads the user operations team. \"Some other times [it's] inbox messages. People sending not nice messages to each other. Then again, there's wall posts and comments about others on a mutual friend's wall or in a status update. \"We do also see examples with photos. It can be as explicit as photos that have been photoshopped in an abusive manner or something as simple as captions, tags or comments.\" Online troublemakers The user operations team isn't bound by hard-and-fast rules on removing content. Rather, it is about using common sense, explains Marina. They look at the context around reported abuse. A group may appear to attack an individual. However, in a surprising number of cases, the group may be set up by that person themselves, as a joke. Other cases are more clear cut. When abuse and bullying violates Facebook's terms of use, the person responsible can find themselves booted off the site. Dealing with online bullying is a contentious issue and all the social networks have, at some time, been criticised for not doing enough. Facebook's user operations team consists of a couple of hundred staff around the world dealing with hundreds of millions of users. However, they are aided by smart, automated systems, designed to root out online troublemakers. \"We can track, for example, if people are inviting large numbers in a certain demographic, that might flag up,\" says Colm Long, Facebook's director of online operations in Dublin. The system looks for things like men befriending only females or teenage girls. Critics have suggested that sites such as Facebook should go further and use keyword scanning to block all abusive content before it can be posted. However, the international nature of social networks mean that may not be possible, according to Colm: \"We are translated in over 60 different languages across the world. \"Our technology is set up to look for behaviours that we see across those different groups and across those different languages.\" And however sophisticated the automated system is now, or becomes in the future, Facebook maintains that their key weapon in the battle against bullying will always be individual users speaking up. \"Facebook can't or shouldn't be part of every conversation that's happening on the platform,\" continues Colm. \"The most important component is the community itself.\"",

            "input": "By Russell HottenBusiness reporter, BBC News To rub salt into the wounds, a report by reputation management company Alva placed BA 55th out of 65 airlines. Stranded passengers, IT failures, and lost data from a hack attack were among reasons cited for the airline's low ranking. Over several years BA's profile has been defined by mishaps and operational issues, said Alastair Pickering, chief strategy officer at Alva. \"What initially may have seemed like bad luck or bad planning, can quickly morph into a narrative of underinvestment; the company putting shareholder interests above those of passengers and employees,\" he said. The BA name has too many negative connotations. The days when the airline promoted itself as The World's Favourite Airline have long gone, and Brian Strutton, general secretary of the pilots' union Balpa, has a couple of reasons why: cost cutting and a dumbing down of the brand. As he told the BBC: \"Management want to squeeze every last penny out of customers and staff.\" This week's strike is about pay, but Mr Strutton says there is a wider context - a lack of trust and confidence in management. Pilots, and other crew, have long complained about an erosion of benefits, such as poorer accommodation on long-haul stopovers. In the lean years when BA was recovering from the global financial downturn, staff say they gave up pay rises. The airline's generous pension scheme has been closed, saving hundreds of millions of pounds. BA, however, contend that the company has been recycling profits into new investment in the airline. The company says it is spending £6.5bn on new aircraft, new cabins and WiFi on planes. 'Fight for survival' While a captain's pay starts at about £78,000, according to Balpa, changes to the earnings structure mean it would now take much longer for a cadet to reach that level. There was an expectation that once the airline recovered financially, staff would benefit. But Mr Strutton says it hasn't happened, which is why people whom he accepts are well paid are taking part in BA's biggest industrial action to date. BA is part of International Airlines Group (IAG), the parent company for carriers that include Aer Lingus, Iberia, Level and Vuelling. But BA is the biggest and most profitable part of the group. Last year, BA's operating profits rose 11.6% to £1.95bn. Profits were also up in the first six months of this year. In February, IAG raised its shareholder dividend and also declared a special payout. In 2009, BA's then chief executive Willie Walsh (who now runs IAG) said the airline was in a \"fight for survival\". Intense competition on transatlantic routes and the popularity of budget carriers on European routes meant radical action was needed. The recovery cost almost 4,000 redundancies and everyone took a pay cut. 'Deplorable' But now that those dark days are over, pilots want to share in the success of BA's turnaround, Mr Strutton says. \"British Airways needs to wake up and realise its pilots are determined to be heard. They've previously taken big pay cuts to help the company through hard times. Now BA is making billions of pounds of profit, its pilots have made a fair, reasonable and affordable claim for pay and benefits.\" BA insists that offering a share in the turnaround is exactly what it is doing. Alex Cruz, BA's chief executive, told the BBC that everyone at the airline, not just pilots, made sacrifices. \"The company recognises that. This is why this 11.5% deal, way above inflation... is a very, very generous deal.\" The impact on staff is only half the story, of course. Analysts say the reputational damage could be huge. Some 200,000 customers have been affected by the strikes, and with further action planned there will inevitably be lost bookings as travellers go elsewhere. Mr Cruz accepted that the strike would \"punish customers\" but also \"punish our brand\". Duncan Lyon, whose flight was cancelled and who is now trying to get a refund of £400, echoed the feelings of many customers who have complained of having to make numerous telephone calls to BA and feel there has been a lack of communication. His message to British Airways? \"You are a disgrace and your customer service is deplorable.\" But, though serious, this strike is not the first time BA has weathered a customer storm. In addition to previous industrial action, the gradual dismantling of some of BA's premium services has been a running sore for many long-time customers. Be it the removal of free meals on short-haul flights, introduction of checked baggage charges, or the ending of complimentary newspapers, BA's loyal base has found many things to mourn about the airline. Yet, passenger growth has continued year-on-year, and the airline and its subsidiaries carried about 45 million people in 2018. That may have a lot to do with BA's dominance of Heathrow Airport and a feeling among some travellers that they lack convenient alternatives. But BA says it underlines the expansion of its route network and investment in services. Indeed, the airline has a £6.5bn spending programme underway - a four-year investment on 73 new aircraft, training and services. The investment is, Mr Cruz told the BBC, the biggest in BA's history. For Alva's Mr Pickering, the investment could be key to \"revamping the passenger experience\" and addressing the \"growing customer cynicism\", adding: \"The situation is by no means terminal.\"",

The Crown Office said there was no evidence that either the driver or city council was to blame for the accident. But it said a fatal accident inquiry (FAI) into the tragedy will be held \"as soon as possible\". The next of kin of those who died have been informed of the decision not to bring a prosecution. The FAI will aim to determine the cause of the crash and establish what lessons can be learned. Earlier this month, Harry Clarke, the driver of the Glasgow City Council bin lorry, told the Daily Record newspaper that he had fallen unconscious at the wheel and could not remember anything about the crash. Mr Clarke, 58, also said that he understood that bereaved families and those who were injured wanted answers about what exactly had happened. The bin lorry went out of control on Queen Street before crashing into the Millennium Hotel at George Square, close to the city's Queen Street rail station. Many of those who were struck by it had been out Christmas shopping. Police investigating the crash submitted their initial report to prosecutors at the end of January. Reevel Alderson, BBC Scotland home affairs correspondent Lawyers for some of the families affected by the tragedy just before Christmas have welcomed the announcement that the courts service is to be asked to ensure a Fatal Accident Inquiry can be held as quickly as possible. Yet no announcement has yet been made about either prosecutions or an FAI in the Clutha helicopter crash which happened 13 months before the George Square tragedy. This is because the investigation into the bin lorry crash was carried out by Police Scotland under the direction of the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service (COPFS). In the helicopter crash, COPFS is still waiting for a report from the Air Accident Investigation Branch (AAIB) which undertook the lead in trying to determine what happened. This was a purely criminal investigation to determine if the conduct of the bin lorry driver, Harry Clarke, had breached the law - and also if Glasgow City Council had broken health and safety regulations. Police and prosecutors decided they had not. However the FAI will be able to hear evidence on Mr Clarke's health, based on his own testimony and medical records before and after the crash. The police report has now been considered by Crown Counsel - the most senior lawyers within the Crown Office. In a statement, the Crown Office said: \"Crown Counsel have concluded that the driver of the lorry should not be prosecuted in respect of this tragic incident. \"Despite its catastrophic consequences there is no evidence to suggest that the driver's conduct at the time amounted to a breach of the criminal law. \"There is no evidence to support a prosecution of Glasgow City Council in respect of any health and safety concerns breaches in health and safety law. \"Crown Counsel have decided that a fatal accident inquiry should be held into the causes of this tragedy to ensure that there can be a full public hearing of the facts of the case.\" A spokesman for Glasgow City Council said: \"We will provide any assistance that the inquiry needs.\" The six people who died in the crash were teacher Stephenie Tait, 29, from Glasgow; student Erin McQuade, 18, and her grandparents Lorraine, 69, and Jack Sweeney, 68, from Dumbarton, West Dunbartonshire; tax worker Jacqueline Morton, 51, from Glasgow; and 52-year-old Gillian Ewing, from Edinburgh. Patrick McGuire, a partner with Thompsons Solicitors which represents many of the victims, said the announcement of an FAI would \"begin the process of finding out what happened to cause this terrible accident which is of the greatest importance to the victims and their relatives.\" He added: \"My clients and I are particularly heartened that the Crown has moved so quickly towards convening a Fatal Accident Inquiry. \"It has often been the case that years can pass before a FAI is set up, if indeed one is set up at all. This leads to further anguish to victims and their families. Therefore the Crown Office is to be commended for its swift action which reflects the huge public concern about this accident.\"",

The NFU called for rules on minimum standards for imports to be made law. Downing Street said food standards would be protected in any trade deal. 'Bottom rung' At the NFU's annual conference on Tuesday, Ms Batters said: \"This isn't just about chlorinated chicken. This is about a wider principle. \"We must not tie the hands of British farmers to the highest rung of the standards ladder while waving through food imports which may not even reach the bottom rung.\" She said: \"To sign up to a trade deal which results in opening our ports, shelves and fridges to food which would be illegal to produce here would not only be morally bankrupt, it would be the work of the insane.\" Ms Batters called for rules in the Agriculture Bill, which is currently going through Parliament, to ensure that food that would be illegal to produce here will not be imported. In countries such as the US, chicken is sometimes washed in chlorine or other chemicals to remove harmful bacteria. This practice was banned in the European Union in 1997 over food safety concerns. The prime minister's official spokesman said: \"The UK has long been a world leader in food safety and animal welfare and we will continue to uphold our high food safety standards in all future trade deals.\" The EU will demand that the UK keeps its ban on chlorinated chicken as a requirement for a trade agreement with Brussels, the Guardian reported, citing documents it has seen. The move is to protect European meat exports, but it could prove to be a potential stumbling block in any deal with the US. Last month, US Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin said that the US wanted to agree a post-Brexit trade deal with the UK in 2020. New environment secretary George Eustice drew criticism on Sunday after refusing to rule out chlorinated chicken and hormone-treated beef being imported from the US under a new deal. But the EU believes that relying on chlorine at the end of the meat production process could be a way of compensating for poor hygiene standards - such as dirty abattoirs. In 2020, the UK will be negotiating a trade deal with Brussels for when the Brexit transition period ends on 31 December. According to reports in the Guardian newspaper, the EU will demand that the UK maintains a ban on chlorinated chicken as the price for a trade agreement with the bloc. Mr Eustice's predecessor, Theresa Villiers, had previously told the BBC that the current European Union ban on chlorine-washed chicken would be carried over into UK legislation after Brexit.",

            "input": "By Caroline HawleyWorld Affairs Correspondent Eighty-year-old Mr Garcia is house-bound in a cramped council flat in south London. He is disabled by the torture he suffered after he was arrested in September 1973. \"I'm alive,\" he says. \"But it feels like a living death.\" His front teeth are missing. His face still bears the scar from where he was hit on the forehead with a rifle butt. And he is in constant pain from the beatings he endured almost four decades ago. \"It still affects me every day,\" he says. \"Every time I comb my hair or shave, I see my scar and the fact that I have no teeth, and I think of Pinochet. \"My head hurts. I need a hearing aid to hear properly. I have trouble walking because they almost fractured my spine. They put electricity in my eyes and testicles and mouth,\" he recalls. Landmark case This is the story of what torture did to just one man - and the shadow it has cast over his family. Mr Garcia was a political supporter of Salvador Allende, the elected president whom Gen Pinochet ousted. He had been photographed with the former leader and was tortured while being interrogated about the whereabouts of Mr Allende's ministers. Expelled by the Pinochet regime to the UK in 1975, he is seeking moral damages through the Costa Rica-based Inter-American Court of Human Rights, where a verdict is expected imminently. It is a battle for justice that has lasted for almost half of Mr Garcia's life. And human rights activists see it as a landmark case. One of many \"Behind the case of Mr Garcia Lucero, there are more than 200,000 others who were expelled or forced into exile - many of whom were also tortured. And we are trying to make them and their right to justice visible to the world,\" says Clara Sandoval, a lawyer for the charity Redress, which is representing Mr Garcia. The Chilean government argues that it has already paid adequate reparations for the abuses committed under Gen Pinochet. But his lawyers say no-one has been held to account for Mr Garcia's torture and, as an exile, he has not received compensation. A key aim of the case, according to Ms Sandoval, is to force Chile to conduct a more thorough investigation into what happened to people like Mr Garcia, and to ensure that the perpetrators are punished. \"It doesn't matter that we are talking about an 80-year-old man living in the UK. He still wants and has a right to justice,\" she says. \"This is a great case to show that 40 years on, we won't allow impunity to reign. We need to prevent these things happening again.\" Mr Garcia does not know the identity of his torturers because he was blindfolded. \"That's why I want a full investigation to find out who did this to me,\" he says. \"It was a miracle I was not left paralysed and brain damaged.\" Mental scars His eldest daughter, Maria Elena, describes the pain of watching her father still suffering - physically and mentally - four decades on, as he grapples with depression and anger. \"The mental scars are not something you can just sew up or put stitches on,\" she says. \"You carry on living with what's on your mind.\" She says her father, a big personality who used to work at the Santiago racecourse, is a \"completely different\" person from the bon viveur she grew up with. \"He would whistle and sing in the shower,\" Maria Elena says. \"He was very sociable. He loved life.\" Mr Garcia, who was held at the notorious Chacabuco concentration camp in the Atacama desert after his torture, says that the worst moment was when soldiers threatened to shoot his six-year-old daughter in the back, and then kill him. \"At some point every day, I want to explode with anger. Anything could set me off - I feel like I'm nothing,\" he told the BBC. But, according to his family, his battle for justice helps get him out of bed. \"If I win the case, it will help me regain my sense of self and allow me to live out the rest of my life in dignity,\" Mr Garcia says. \"This case is not just for me, but for others too.\"",

Argyll and Bute Council said press coverage of the blog had led catering staff to fear for their jobs. But council leader Roddy McCuish later told the BBC he had instructed senior officials to lift the ban immediately. The schoolgirl's father, David Payne, who helped her set up the blog, welcomed the decision. Martha began publishing photographs of her Lochgilphead Primary School lunches on 30 April. She gave each meal a 'food-o-meter' and health rating, and counted the number of mouthfuls it took her to eat it. She had been using the blog to raise money for the Mary's Meals charity. But in a post published on Thursday evening, Martha said her headteacher told her not to take any more photographs for the blog. Under the headline \"Goodbye\", the post stated: \"This morning in maths I got taken out of class by my head teacher and taken to her office. Charity blog \"I was told that I could not take any more photos of my school dinners because of a headline in a newspaper today.\" The council's decision to impose the ban came after the Daily Record newspaper published a photograph of Martha alongside chef Nick Nairn under the headline \"Time to fire the dinner ladies.\" Speaking on BBC Radio's Good Morning Scotland programme Mr Payne said his daughter was not happy about the council's decision. He added: \"I understand that it's brought pressure from around the world and media interest, but that is really out of our control. \"But we are very supportive of the school - the fact that she has been encouraged to blog and she got permission to do this is testament to them. \"Everyone in the kitchens has been wonderful to Martha and she enjoys going into lunch every day.\" By Friday morning, the council's decision had sparked a furious reaction on social media. Local MSP Mike Russell, Scotland's education secretary, tweeted he would be writing to the council's chief executive in his capacity as local MSP, calling for the \"daft\" ban to be overturned. Job fears Celebrity chef Jamie Oliver tweeted: \"Stay strong Martha\" before urging his 2.3 million followers to retweet the message. Argyll and Bute Council later issued a statement defending its position and claimed media coverage of the blog had led catering staff to fear for their jobs. It added: \"The photographic images uploaded appear to only represent a fraction of the choices available to pupils, so a decision has been made by the council to stop photos being taken in the school canteen. \"There have been discussions between senior council staff and Martha's father, but despite an acknowledgement that the media coverage has produced these unwarranted attacks, he intimated that he would continue with the blog.\" Cleland Sneddon, the executive director of community services at Argyll and Bute Council, told the BBC that school catering staff had been left \"in tears\" by press coverage. However, Mr McCuish later told the BBC Radio 4's World at One programme that he had instructed senior officials to lift the ban immediately. He said: \"It is a good thing to do, to change your mind, and I have certainly done that.\" Mr McCuish said he had not yet been able to inform Martha of the lifting of the photo ban, but had a meeting arranged with her father next Thursday to discuss \"a way forward\". 'Dinner summit' In a BBC interview Martha's father said he was really pleased for his daughter that ban had been lifted. He added: \"She will look forward to being able to take her photographs of her food and writing about it as she has done so far.\" Publicity caused by the ban helped the schoolgirl smash through her £7,000 fundraising target for the Mary's Meals charity - with total pledges of more than £30,000 being made by Friday afternoon. The total stood at only about £2,000 on Thursday evening. A Mary's Meals spokesman said: \"We are overwhelmed by the huge response to her efforts today which has led to so many more people donating to her online donation page. \"Thanks to this fantastic support, Martha has now raised enough money to build a kitchen in Malawi for children receiving Mary's Meals as part of our Sponsor A School initiative and has broken the record for hitting a Sponsor A School online fundraising target in the quickest amount of time\". Among the pictures Martha published on her blog was one featuring her £2 lunch of a pizza slice, a croquette, sweetcorn and a cupcake. Martha wrote: \"I'm a growing kid and I need to concentrate all afternoon and I can't do it on one croquette. Do any of you think you could?\"",

The court rejected Mr Trump's attempt to reinstate the ban on Thursday. His executive order barred citizens from seven mainly Muslim countries from entering the US. The ban caused chaos at US airports and sparked protests across the country. Several lawsuits have been filed against the ban, and a federal judge has issued a temporary nationwide block on the travel ban. Mr Trump has said he may fight the case in the courts, but could also consider issuing a new executive order. Speaking on Fox News Sunday, Mr Miller accused the 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals, which upheld the block on Mr Trump's order, of \"overreaching\". He also told ABC's This Week: \"We have equal branches of government in this country. The judiciary is not supreme.\" Under the US system of checks and balances, courts can declare laws, or acts by the president, unconstitutional. More on this story: The US government has argued that the president is best placed to make decisions about national security, and that the ban does not discriminate against Muslims. But upholding the suspension last week, the three appeals court three judges said that the government had provided \"no evidence that any foreigner from the countries named in the order\" had carried out a terrorist attack on US soil. Lawsuits against the ban have been launched in 14 states. The states of Washington and Minnesota have argued that the travel ban is unconstitutional and harmful to their residents, businesses and universities. Washington State Attorney General Bob Ferguson told ABC on Sunday the current order was \"unlawful\" and had an \"improper motive\" because it was intended to discriminate against Muslims. If necessary, he could ask government officials to testify, and examine \"documents and emails to get behind what truly motivated that executive order\", he added. What did the executive order say?",

A spokesman for the trust declined to elaborate on any details regarding the incidents \"for reasons of patient confidentiality\". Derriford Hospital went on 'black alert' in January and February when it was unable to cope with the number of patients coming in. The Care Quality Commission investigated Derriford in 2013 after eight never events within a year.",

He said: \"That may seem a lot, but the students who get the best grades will be working this hard.\" But teachers and other experts said it was \"unrealistic\" and could put too much pressure on students. Mr Lenon, who retired as headmaster of Harrow School in 2011, offered five tips which included starting at 9am and working for no more than two hours at a time before taking a break. He said: \"The best GCSE and A-level results don't go to the cleverest students - they go to those who revised in the Easter holidays.\" 'Work-life balance' His revision schedule would mean 100 hours of work over 14 days in the Easter holiday, with repeat sessions in the summer term and before the exam. Stephen Cumper, a teacher from Belfast, said the advice was \"complete nonsense\". \"Children need to have a work-life balance,\" he said. Colleen Shelley, a teacher in a private girls school in Hertfordshire, said: \"That's absolutely not acceptable. It's not realistic. \"We as adults don't function like that in a work environment. Work should be intermittent - revise in moderation and take breaks.\" Sarah-Jayne Blakemore, a psychology professor at University College London who researches the adolescent brain, said teenagers were already under a lot of stress. She said on Twitter: \"This generation of young people are under massive pressure, academically, socially... I'm not sure recommendations like this help much.\" One parent, Serian Walker, who is also a police officer, said in her profession she had dealt with suicides by children who could not cope with the pressure. Ms Walker, from Cardiff, said she struggled to get her 15-year-old daughter to take a break from revision. \"I know she isn't sleeping well and I know she's miserable. Of course I'd like her to excel, but not at the cost of her mental health,\" she said. But Clare Wagner, head teacher of the West London Free School, endorsed Mr Lenon's tips as \"excellent revision advice\". One recent A-level student also backed Mr Lenon's advice. Natasha, now in her final year at Queen Mary University of London, said that she relied on at least seven hours of study a day in the Easter holidays during her GCSEs and A-levels. \"Looking back, there is no way I would have been able to properly cover all the content you need to revise in fewer than seven hours a day. I can't see how you can get top grades and study fewer hours,\" she said. \"It is not about finding a work-life balance, it is about making a sacrifice.\"",

The NSPCC said it was \"encouraging\" more cases were being reported despite no convictions. Police said every case was \"thoroughly investigated\". FGM includes procedures that remove or injure female genital organs for non-medical reasons. Dangers include severe bleeding, problems urinating, infections, infertility, mental health problems, complications in childbirth and increased risk of death for newborns. The practice has been illegal in the UK since 1985 but the first prosecutions, which are currently ongoing, were not until this year. 'Hidden and complex' The data was gathered by the Press Association through Freedom of Information (FoI) requests. West Midlands Police said the number of cases during the first six months of this year was more than the number recorded in 2013 - 41 - while there were 25 cases in 2012 and eight in 2011. There were two arrests in 2012 but no charges were brought. Avon and Somerset Police investigated 16 suspected FGM cases in 2013, compared with four in 2012 and six in 2011. It has also investigated six cases between January and June this year but did not provide information about arrests or charges. Information about FGM cases given to the Press Association included: Many forces said they had not recorded any suspected FGM cases but said other agencies could have been involved in such investigations. Others did not reveal whether or not they had investigated cases of FGM, citing concern for victims. The NSPCC children's charity has set up a 24-hour FGM helpline and received 321 reports since it launched last June, 148 of which were referred to police and children's services. John Cameron, the NSPCC's head of child protection, said: \"These figures do not come as a surprise to us. \"We know that the police face a very tough challenge in gaining the appropriate evidence to prove that a child is at risk of FGM - a hidden and complex cultural form of child abuse.\" Mr Cameron added: \"Although there is currently a lack of convictions, it is encouraging that more FGM-related concerns are being reported to the police and we hope their intervention has prevented children from becoming victims of this abuse.\" New measures The Association of Chief Police Officers (Acpo) said every FGM allegation was \"thoroughly investigated\" but noted that many calls to police were about the welfare of suspected victims rather than specific crimes, meaning that arrests were \"not appropriate\". Commander Mak Chishty, Acpo's lead for FGM, said: \"I am heartened that people are becoming increasingly confident in reporting suspected FGM - it shows that we are getting the message out to communities and other professionals that FGM is a crime and will not be tolerated.\" The Home Affairs Committee into FGM has said there could be as many as 170,000 victims in the UK. Sarian Karim Kamara, who lives in Peckham, south west London and underwent FGM in Sierra Leone as an 11-year-old, said FGM remained a \"secretive\" act. \"For the police to be investigating these cases, it shows lots of people are aware now and people working with women and children are confident to ask questions,\" she added. Prime Minister David Cameron used the recent Girl Summit to announce new measures to protect girls in England and Wales who were at risk. As part of this, parents will face prosecution if they fail to stop their daughters undergoing FGM. The domestic changes will not apply in Scotland or Northern Ireland, but governments there said they had their own plans to tackle the problem.",

But on Monday the island became the first place in the British Isles to scrap social distancing after recording no cases for 28 days. Manx pub-goers welcomed the chance to return to their local for a drink. There are thought to be about 50 pubs on the island, which serve a population of about 85,000. At The Cat With No Tail in Douglas, extra precautions have been introduced, including screens in front of the till and hand sanitiser stations. Andy Openshaw was one of the first through the doors to enjoy a drink with his parents. \"It just felt so strange after so long,\" said the 44-year-old. His 78-year-old father, Malcolm Openshaw, said it was \"wonderful\" to be able to go out with his family again. Meanwhile Raymond Hands, 84, said it was \"great\" to finally end three months in self-isolation. He said he had no apprehension about having a pub lunch with a friend now that the island was \"28 days clear\" of the virus. \"We still have to be careful and use the hand sanitiser and that, but we've been very lucky indeed,\" he added. Analysis: Sadhbh O'Shea, BBC News The familiar chatter of voices and clinking of glasses has returned to pubs on the Isle of Man. It has been nearly three months since residents could go to their local for a pint. Tentative at first, people quickly relaxed back into what many took for granted before. But hand sanitiser everywhere and protective glass by the tills are a reminder that we are not quite living in normal times. Jane Canning, 51, said she had been looking forward to the \"buzz\" of visiting the pub again. \"I'm very proud of this island,\" she added. Fellow walker Dawn Thomas, 50, said being able to go out again was \"just brilliant\". She said that while there were \"always concerns\" over the possible return of coronavirus, pubs' reopening had made things \"normal for now\". Laura Goldsmith, 25, said it was \"really nice to be able to get out of the house\". \"It's been a long time since we've been able to do it, so it's nice to just come out for some lunch and do something different. \"It's nice to go back to normality.\" The pub's assistant manager Meaghann O'Loughlin said she was \"so happy\" to finally have customers back. The three months of lockdown included the scrapping of the Isle of Man TT festival, when thousands of visitors boost the island's economy each year. \"Losing that trade and then also losing our local customers' daily conversations is quite hard,\" she added. Charles Miller, of the Two Fellas micropub and The Whitehouse in Peel, said it would take time for the industry to \"catch up\". He said: \"The brewer needs at least three weeks to brew beer and to get it into a pub and for it to be ready to serve. It will be a three-week window. \"We're not quite ready but we'll do our best.\" Mr Miller added that opening hours would be restricted \"for the next week or two\". \"We don't know what the reaction is going to be ... we want sensible behaviour, so we will be closing at 22:30 BST.\" However, not all establishments will be opening their doors just yet - Brewers Heron and Brearley said only 16 of its 35 pubs were ready to welcome back customers.

He is the most senior ANC official who risks prosecution since President Cyril Ramaphosa took office in 2018. Mr Ramaphosa is the leader of the ANC, but he and Mr Magashule, who is the party's secretary-general, come from rival factions. The president promised to tackle corruption and promote good governance when he took office, describing his predecessor Jacob Zuma's time in office as \"nine wasted years\". Mr Magushule is widely seen as a political kingmaker in the ANC and is a staunch ally of Mr Zuma, who has been charged with corruption over an arms deal, reports the BBC's Pumza Fihlani from the main city Johannesburg. Mr Zuma denies the charges. The ANC said it had learned of the arrest warrant against Mr Magashule through the media, and he would be consulting his lawyers. A spokeswoman for the elite Hawks police unit told the Reuters news agency that Mr Magashule was expected to appear in court on Friday. \"He hasn't been arrested as yet but the warrant has been signed,\" Lynda Steyn was quoted as saying. Asbestos removal contract at heart of allegations The alleged corruption took place when Mr Magashule was the head of the provincial government in the Free State in 2014. South Africa has nine provincial governments, with huge budgets under their control. The $16m contract was issued to private firms for the removal of asbestos from low-cost homes, but it is alleged that there were kickbacks and suspicious payments, our reporter says. In his reaction to the arrest warrant, Mr Magashule told privately owned local broadcaster eNCA: \"I'm not worried at all because I know I haven't done anything wrong as a law abiding citizen of South Africa.\" Mr Magashule catapulted on to the national political stage when he was elected ANC secretary-general in 2017 after narrowly defeating a candidate allied with Mr Ramaphosa. He is in charge of the day-to-day running of the party, which has been in government since the end of white-minority rule in 1994.",

Ken Skates said they could be needed to encourage people out of their cars into \"more sustainable transport\". The Welsh Conservatives accused him of considering a \"stealth Motorist Tax\". A Welsh Labour AM, Blaenau Gwent's Alun Davies, warned the party \"cannot make these announcements until we have a track record of public transport success stories\". Derek Turner, formerly of Transport for London, will lead the review, which is expected to report by the autumn. The review will look at options right across Wales and will also feed in to the ongoing commission looking at easing congestion on the M4, as well as Cardiff Council's proposal to introduce a £2 congestion charge in the capital. Last summer, the Welsh Government decided to ditch plans for a £1.6bn M4 relief road around Newport. Lord Burns, who is leading the commission set-up in the wake of the government's decision, said last month more investment in public transport is needed in south east Wales to ease congestion on the M4. A congestion charge could be needed to address the issue, he added. Increased traffic seen after the Severn tolls were scrapped has led to calls from West of England Combined Authority, on the English side of the M4, for the idea to be explored. Speaking in a debate in the Senedd in November 2019, Transport Minister Mr Skates urged councils to consider introducing a levy on workplace parking to cut congestion. In Nottingham, the first ten parking spaces are free with employers charged £415 a year for each one after that. In a written statement announcing the Wales-wide road user charging review, Mr Skates said: \"Investing in and incentivising public transport and active travel are vital in encouraging people to make less journeys by car. \"However, demand management measures may also be needed to achieve a significant modal shift from road to more sustainable transport in Wales.\" \"For this reason, I have commissioned an independent review into the benefits and challenges of different demand management approaches such as road user charging,\" he added. The review will examine: The Welsh Government said it is an initial review, designed to inform future detailed work. Welsh Conservative transport spokesman Russell George said: \"We've already seen plans for a tourism tax, a vacant land tax, and a possible social care tax, from the Welsh Government so it should come as no surprise that Labour Ministers are paving the way to clobber motorists too. \"While we Conservatives have been cutting costs for motorists by scrapping the Severn Crossing Tolls, we've seen Labour politicians in Wales seeking to increase them.\" Alun Davies, Labour AM, said: \"I suspect that the Welsh Government (and) Ken Skates needs to demonstrate some real successes in terms of rail delivery and road policy such as the M4 and wider public transport before heading down this particular route.\"",

I am sure that this dispute can be resolved through reasoned and peaceful talks.\" Cover will be provided during the strike by private firm AssetCo.

He also sought reassurance that UK exports were not being used in \"the suppression of democratic rights\". Mr Johnson has said he was \"appalled\" by what happened to Mr Floyd. Speaking at a press conference on Wednesday the prime minister said: \"My message to President Trump, to everybody in the United States from the UK is that... racism, racist violence has no place in our society.\" A video showing Mr Floyd, 46, being arrested on 25 May in Minneapolis and a white police officer continuing to kneel on his neck even after he pleaded that he could not breathe has triggered protests across the US and the world, including in the UK. On Wednesday, thousands marched in London in a demonstration organised by the Black Lives Matter group. Writing to Mr Johnson, Sir Keir said he was angered by Mr Floyd's death and \"the response of US authorities to peaceful protest\", He said the UK has \"a moral obligation to speak out\" in defence of human rights and the \"fundamental democratic right to protest\". He also asked the PM if his government had raised concerns with the US about the treatment of peaceful protesters; how the government would ensure UK exports are not being used \"in the suppression of democratic rights\" and what steps the government were taking to reassure black communities in the UK. He said the death of George Floyd had \"justifiably prompted anger and a burning desire for fundamental change\". \"The UK must be clear in showing that we understand this frustration and that we are ready to stand together with those who seek to tackle the injustice and inequality that remains within all our societies.\" 'Lack of moral leadership' During a radio interview First Minister of Scotland Nicola Sturgeon, when asked if President Trump was a racist, said: \"I think sometimes it's hard to not conclude that, and what I always say when I'm asked questions that that is I can't see inside his head. \"But I do know that the language you use and how you express yourself matters and if you don't want to be accused of racism then don't use racist language, don't sound as if you are equating people who protest against racism with people who take to the streets in order to try to perpetrate racist values and attitudes.\" She also suggested the US president was \"displaying a lack of leadership, perhaps, a lack of moral leadership\". Meanwhile, Labour MP Dawn Butler has organised a cross party letter urging the government to halt the sale of tear gas, rubber bullets, and riot shields to the US.

Police found the weapon during a drugs raid at the media student's home in October 2017. They found parts of a 3D printed gun for which he did not have a firearms licence, as well as cannabis. Muswere told officers they were props for a sci-fi film he was making for a university project, adding he had found the ammunition rounds in a park. His lawyer described Muswere as a \"loner\" with anxiety issues who suffered from paranoid schizophrenia and had regularly smoked cannabis. Police had searched Muswere's home address on the Lillington Gardens Estate on two occasions. They found two 3D printers that were in the process of printing a barrel of a revolver and numerous components for making Washbear and Reprringer firearms. The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said during a second raid Muswere threw an incomplete and melted 3D printed cylinder for a Reprringer pepper-box handgun out of the kitchen window as police arrived at the house. Firearm experts found the only parts missing from many of his 3-D firearms were the steel tubing needed to make them usable.

            "input": "Dominic CascianiHome affairs correspondent@BBCDomCon Twitter Who is Shamima Begum - and what did she do? Shamima Begum is from Bethnal Green in east London and left home in 2015 at the height of the power of the self-styled Islamic State group in Syria and Iraq. She and two friends - Amira Abase and Kadiza Sultana - flew from Gatwick Airport to Turkey after lying to their parents about their plans for the day. Their aim was to join another friend, Sharmeena Begum, who had left in late 2014. The trio were picked up by smugglers working for the IS group and taken across the border into the group's territory in northern Syria. Once there, they were to be married off as jihadi brides to the foreign fighters who had flooded in from across the world. The group aimed to raise a new generation of children supporting its so-called caliphate - and grooming young women to the cause was key to that plan. Like other British young women, she was first kept in a house with more prospective brides. Evidence from other cases has revealed that these guest houses were used to further indoctrinate the women with the group's ideology and prepare them for their new lives. Once a suitable match was found, the women were married off one-by-one. All the Bethnal Green group were given husbands. Kadiza Sultana was reportedly killed two years ago following an airstrike on Raqqa. Shamima Begum's fighter husband is reported to have been Yago Riedijk - a Dutch English-speaking convert. In her interview with the Times, she says their first two children died of complications linked to both malnutrition and a lack of drugs inside the war zone. They fled Raqqa as the air strikes worsened, and as the militant group's territory shrank, the couple - now expecting their third child - were squeezed into the last IS stronghold. Eventually the teenager gave up and headed to a refugee camp. How much of an extremist is she? When the teenager and her friends ran off to Syria, their families and the security services were hoping that they had been groomed and brainwashed, but would come to their senses and attempt to find some way out. But the security services in London were also deeply concerned that the girls would be a propaganda tool to help IS recruit others from their community. Five more teenage girls who were suspected of being groomed alongside Ms Begum and her friends were subjected to family court action to control their movements and care. They can't be named for legal reasons. From the tone of Shamima Begum's Times interview, she does not appear to regret her decision. She describes being unfazed by seeing the decapitated head of an anti-IS fighter, whom she described as an \"enemy of Islam\". Can she return to the UK? In the short term, no. The British government has no consular staff to help her in Syria. Ministers won't order personnel to risk their lives to help out someone who joined a banned terror group. But suppose she got out of the refugee camp and crossed into Turkey. Could she just get on a flight home? Almost certainly not. She may not have any travel documents - IS recruits were forced to hand over their passports and, in fact, some burnt them as a sign of their allegiance to the self-styled state. The Home Office is able to cancel passports to prevent people moving freely - this is a well-used counter-terrorism tactic to prevent fighters crossing borders. It's not known whether it has happened in this case. The UK has the power to strip Ms Begum of her nationality, providing she is not left stateless. This seems unlikely because she was not a fighter. If she did reach a safe location, security chiefs in London could control any possible return through a Temporary Exclusion Order. This controversial legal tool - which was used nine times in 2017 - bars a British citizen from returning home until they have agreed to investigation, monitoring and, if required, deradicalisation. Does the UK have duties to her because of her age? Shamima Begum was legally a child when she went to join Islamic State. And if she were still under 18 years of age, the government would have a duty to take her \"best interests\" into account in deciding what to do next. But she is now an apparently unrepentant adult, and if she wants to come back she would have to account for her decisions and face possible prosecution, even if her journey is a story of grooming and abuse. She says she is nine months pregnant. If her baby is safely delivered and she then wants to return to the UK, that is a slightly different and more complex issue. Assuming that Ms Begum is still British, her child would be too. And that would trigger legal duties to take into account the baby's welfare. That doesn't mean that the UK would risk the lives of security service personnel to get her out - far from it. But social services would almost have to take a view about what to do with mother and daughter if they were able to return. According to the latest figures, since 2015 about 100 children in England and Wales have been \"safeguarded\" by the family courts from being taken to conflict areas in Syria and Iraq. This involves each child becoming a \"ward of court\" - meaning a judge makes decisions about their future - or they are removed from their families and placed into care. Some of the cases have involved evidence that a parent was brainwashing the child. So Ms Begum's mindset would be critical in any decision about the future of her child. Would Shamima Begum be prosecuted? The UK's specialist counter-terrorism prosecutors vigorously pursue anyone with a link to dangerous groups who has not satisfactorily accounted for their actions. There would be a strong public interest to do so - and there is also a precedent. Tareena Shakil from Burton-upon-Trent is another British jihadi bride who got out of the war zone. Intelligence services established she had been married off - but she lied about this when she left to return to the UK with her child - and was subsequently jailed for membership of a terrorist group. That is exactly the kind of prosecution that Ms Begum could face if she returned - along with encouraging or supporting terrorism. But that is a long, long way off. If Shamima Begum did get back to the UK, she would be subject to the closest possible scrutiny. Irrespective of a prosecution decision, she would be offered the chance to enter into a deradicalisation programme. A government-approved \"intervention provider\" would work with her to challenge her thinking and beliefs. These are highly trained experts in theology, psychology and other specialisms that are called upon to break the mental hold that a cult has over its recruits. This work is very hard - and not always successful. But the intervention providers would almost certainly be the only experts able to advise counter-terrorism chiefs whether Shamima Begum could ever readjust to a normal life. Who has returned from Iraq and Syria? More than 40,000 citizens from 80 countries have become affiliated with the Islamic State (IS) group in Iraq and Syria, according to the International Centre for the Study of Radicalisation's 2018 report. Of the roughly 5,000 Europeans who departed to join IS, about 1,200 are estimated to have returned, according to a 2018 European Parliament report. The report breaks down figures for six countries. France accounted for the highest number of those that travelled to Iraq and Syria (1,910), followed by Germany (960), and the UK (850). The proportion of people that have returned varies. Half those that left the UK have returned, the highest rate among the six countries examined in the report. About 30% have returned to Germany and Belgium and just 12% to France. Across EU countries, dealing with the returning fighters is primarily based on criminal investigation and risk assessment. Rehabilitation and reintegration schemes have been introduced inside and outside prison. Other measures include restrictions on movement and powers to withdraw or refuse to issue passports. The radicalisation of Safaa Boular: A teenager's journey to terror Safaa Boular was one of the youngest people accused in the UK of terror offences.

            "input": "By Hannah RichardsonBBC News education reporter Thousands of the qualifications which are deemed easier than GCSEs were devalued by the government this week. But analysis by school improvement expert Dr Terry Wrigley shows 68% of academies rely more heavily on them than the average state school. The government said the gap diminished the longer sponsor academies were open. But Dr Wrigley, editor of the international journal Improving Schools and visiting professor at Leeds Metropolitan University, described many academies' use of equivalents as \"excessive\". \"This seriously inflates the attainment figures for academies, compared with all schools nationally, creating a false impression that they are successful,\" he said. This week Schools Minister Nick Gibb reduced the number of so-called equivalents that will count for league table purposes from 2014 from more than 3,000 to 70. 'Policy clash' Vocational courses - in subjects like catering, travel and tourism, life skills and IT - currently count for up to four GCSEs. And there have long been claims that some schools get borderline pupils through the five good GCSEs including English and maths benchmark by focusing on those two subjects plus an equivalent worth four GCSEs. It is particularly important because this is the measure used by the government to measures school performance. Dr Wrigley said: \"We have got Michael Gove pushing massively for academies and now even primary schools are being pushed into becoming academies. \"At the same time as scrapping these equivalents for league table purposes, he is relying on these results as part of his argument that academies are better. \"He can't hold on to both policies now. He has gone a lot further than the previous government in pushing schools into academy status.\" Dr Wrigley looked at the performance of England's 269 academies with results in the 2011 school league tables against the average performance of state secondary schools. 'Rigid definition' In all maintained schools, 59.1% of pupils got five good GCSEs including English and maths, including equivalents. But when equivalents were not included, it dropped to 53.2% - a gap of nearly six percentage points. For academies, 50.1% got the benchmark if equivalents were included in the figures, but without equivalents it dropped to 38.3%. This is nearly the double the gap for all state schools. He found that of the 269 academies, some two-thirds (183) had gaps of more than six percentage points. And more than half (141) academies had gaps of 10 percentage points or more. In one academy, 70% of pupils got five good GCSEs, but this reduced to zero when equivalents were discounted. Dr Wrigley also looked at how disadvantaged pupils performed in academies and in maintained schools. He says: \"Nationally, Nick Gibb complains that only 33.9% of disadvantaged pupils achieved five A* to C grade GCSEs including English and maths, compared to the national average of 58.2% in maintained schools. \"Around half of academies did worse than this, and many would have fallen below the proportion if they hadn't made extensive use of 'equivalent' qualifications that the government is about to abolish as suspect.\" A Department for Education spokesman said: \"The vast majority of academies in these statistics are sponsored academies transforming previously underperforming schools and serving some of the most deprived communities, and so they initially concentrate on improving the basics. \"However, if you look at the major sponsors, there is a clear trend that once academies have been opened and established they move to more academic subjects.\" He added that academies' results, including in the core subjects of English and maths, were improving faster than the national average. The general secretary of the National Union of Teachers, Christine Blower, said: \"What the results reveal is that changing the structure of a school will not change the context it works in or its ability to meet the needs of the pupils within it. \"As with other schools, academies have inevitably had to play the league tables game, so it has come as no surprise to see that many do not meet Michael Gove's own rigid definition of a successful school. \"Instead of the education secretary's obsession with turning all schools, including primaries, into academies, he needs to sit down with the profession and engage in a serous dialogue about what schools need to provide the best possible education for all children.\"",

Three flood warnings which were in force on Saturday morning have been removed, but six flood alerts remain, says the Environment Agency. Snow particularly hit north east Wales on Friday night but most cleared later. The Met Office had issued a yellow \"be aware\" alert for ice in eastern areas on Saturday morning following warnings of snow overnight. But forecasters also warned that heavy rain later in the day, coupled with a rapid thaw in rising temperatures, may cause more localised flooding, accompanied by strong to gale force winds. On Friday night fire crews in Pembrokeshire and Carmarthenshire said they were inundated with calls. They were called to flooding in Whitland in Carmarthenshire and Narberth, Haverfordwest and St Davids in Pembrokeshire, among many others. Mid and West Wales Fire Service said about 60 properties in Solva were threatened by a burst river. Firefighters said the water was up to 3ft deep, and some properties were flooded. Station manager Craig Thomas was one of about 25 firefighters dealing with flooding problems after heavy rain arrived, and he was called to Solva about 21:00 GMT. He said: \"The River Solva burst its banks at about 10.30pm, affecting or threatening about 40 to 50 properties. \"Crews from St Davids, Haverfordwest and Milford Haven were in attendance. \"We helped by trying to divert the floodwater. \"The river levels dropped at about 1.30am and we were able to pump a lot of floodwater away.\" County councillor Lyn Jenkins in Solva said she had driven back from Fishguard in the worst conditions on the road she had seen in 43 years. \"Some of the road was totally under water,\" she said. Dyfed-Powys Police received dozens of calls, including reports of roads becoming impassable due to flash floods and one of a stranded driver. The Environment Agency had issued three flood warnings for Wales: the rivers Mawddach, Wnion and the town of Dolgellau; the river Cynin at St Clears, and the river Hydfron at Llanddowror, but they were later removed. South Wales Fire and Rescue Service received a number of flooding calls to Merthyr, Bridgend, Pontypool, Tredegar, Cowbridge and Treorchy. In North Wales, there were minor flooding incidents in Dolgellau. Stagecoach said most of its services in south east and mid Wales were running, but some had been affected.

However, BBC South East Today has learned the trust has failed to improve and is likely to be placed into special measures at a meeting on Friday. The trust said it was awaiting a report to be published and would not comment. The other trusts currently in special measures include East Kent Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and Medway NHS Foundation Trust. Medway's Maritime Hospital was forced to turn away ambulances earlier, and on Wednesday, to help ease the burden on its A&E department. The East Sussex trust was rated as \"inadequate\" by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) in March, after failing to meeting government targets. In May, it was criticised by Eastbourne Borough Council, which passed a vote of no confidence in its management. And in July the chief executive resigned while the trust had to apologise after patients' details were found in the street. Analysis: Mark Norman, BBC South East health correspondent Leadership would appear to be the big problem at this trust. In its March report, the CQC described a \"disconnect between the trust board and it's staff\" and a \"culture where staff were afraid to speak out\". The trust's problems have been well documented but what has apparently been lacking is any real progress in putting things right. It's my understanding the CQC feel very little has improved in the last few months. Friday's meeting between all the stakeholders will be a chance to discuss the way forward but many people I have spoken to in the wider NHS believe special measures will be imposed on the trust. A spokesman for the trust refused to comment on whether it would be put into special measures. He said: \"We are waiting for the publication of the CQC report next week and until it is published and they have made any recommendation we are unable to make any further comment.\"",

            "input": "By Joel GunterBBC News They were young, no older than 35. Their family home had been hit by an air strike, they said, one of thousands launched by a Saudi-led coalition that pounded the province every day that month. The heartland of the rebel Houthi movement, Saada is among the most dangerous parts of Yemen, and the Al-Jumhori is the only emergency facility in the province — in reality, the only A&E department in most of northern Yemen. Dr Carrara, an Argentine working for the international medical charity Medicins Sans Frontieres (MSF), triaged the married couple. The husband's injuries were minor and she turned her attention to the wife, who had severe injuries to both her arms. Nearly all the soft tissue had been stripped away by the blast. As a surgical team prepared to amputate, Dr Carrara spoke to the woman's husband. He asked her to save his wife's arms. Their four children, all younger than 10, had been killed by the strike, he told her. \"We have lost our children,\" he said. \"Please do everything you can.\" Since March, when the Saudi-led, US-backed coalition launched a military campaign to defeat the Houthi rebel group, some 6,000 people — almost half of them civilians — have been killed in air strikes and fighting on the ground in Yemen, according to the UN. In January, a leaked UN report accused the coalition of \"widespread and systematic\" attacks against civilians. The coalition says it regrets civilian deaths, which it insists are unintentional. The coalition is attempting to restore the internationally-recognised government of President Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi, who was forced into exile by the rebels last March, but the conflict has taken a bloody toll on the country's civilians and ravaged an already fragile health system. Three MSF facilities and one ambulance have been hit by air strikes, killing at least eight people and depriving hundreds of thousands of access to emergency care — despite the charity providing their co-ordinates to all sides. With precious few A&E facilities left functioning, Al-Jumhori has expanded from a small facility into a 93-bed hospital treating 2,000 emergency cases a month and performing more than 100 surgeries a week. \"I'd never before seen the level of casualties I saw in Saada,\" Michael Seawright, an MSF project coordinator, said in January after a stint in the province. \"The scale of wounded was extreme in two respects - firstly there was a large number of wounded coming through the hospital, but second the severity of wounds was also often extreme.\" And the bombs have other crippling effects, beyond their blast radius. They discourage many casualties from even attempting to reach a facility, said Teresa Sancristobal, MSF's emergency co-ordinator for Yemen. \"The perception is that the medical facilities are not safe. A lot of times when we ask patients why they didn't come sooner, they tell us they were afraid,\" she said. For Yemen's civilians, getting to a medical facility equipped to cope with severe trauma can be hellishly difficult. It can involve an hours-long journey by car, fraught with danger from flying bullets and falling missiles. On Thursday, a young pregnant woman arrived at Al-Jumhori with 60% of her body burned. Like so many who come through the hospital's doors, her home had been hit by an air strike, this one in the heavily-targeted Razeh district of Saada province, close to the border with Saudi Arabia. With travel too risky, the woman was forced to wait for a week before her family could take her to a nearby clinic. From there she was moved by ambulance to the Al-Jumhori, a five-hour journey. \"I could not imagine how much pain she was in,\" said Dr Carrara. \"By the time she reached us she was septic and had severe organ failure. We did what we could but there was no hope.\" The woman died 16 hours later. She was in her 20s. If she had made it to Saada city within eight hours, she and her child could almost certainly have been saved. Patients arriving at MSF facilities in Yemen are immediately graded with one of four colours: green denotes that they are walking wounded; yellow that they must be seen within an hour; red that they need immediate resuscitation; black that they are already dead, or have no hope. \"We grade a lot of people black and red,\" said Dr Carrara. \"Most of them are young. They have crash injuries, vascular injuries, fractures, open fractures on the legs and arms, head trauma, penetrating head trauma, abdominal trauma, chest trauma, open chest trauma, blunt trauma. \"Air strikes cause multiple, severe injuries. They put people in critical condition.\" The first day we spoke, a family of seven was rushed in to Dr Carrara's A&E. Five — the mother, father, and three children — were immediately graded black. Two boys were alive. The older of the two, aged 20, was graded green — he would survive. The younger boy, aged just eight, was graded red. He had a penetrating head trauma and was in a coma. When we spoke again the following day, the boy's condition had deteriorated. He will probably die. Emergencies are not the difficult part of treating the war-wounded, said Dr Carrara. The difficulty comes later, as she follows them through their recovery — \"sometimes 10 days, sometimes a month, sometimes more\". \"That is when you hear their stories, what happened to them, who they lost. That's when I wonder how they can continue. And that's when it gets difficult.\" At what point does it become too much? \"It doesn't,\" she said. \"You do what you have to. You do the work, that gets you through.\" An average day for an MSF doctor in Yemen would be too much for most. Last year, while Saada city was being bombed daily, the medical team at Al-Jumhori — a mix of MSF staff and Yemenis — were working 16-hour days and snatching naps on a handful of shared mattresses in the basement, the risk of leaving the hospital too great. Dr Carrara's few hours downstairs were usually interrupted by emergency calls, up to four or five per night. The warning system for an emergency is often primitive: the hospital's doors and windows vibrate. A bomb has landed nearby. \"When you feel the ground shake, you know that patients are coming,\" she said. In January, a missile hit the Shiara emergency room, an MSF facility in nearby Razeh district. Six people, including three members of the medical staff, were killed and seven more severely injured. The hospital was destroyed. MSF says it does everything in its power to identify its staff and facilities to Yemen's warring factions, but there is only so much it can do. \"The situation is very difficult, the insecurity is clear,\" Ms Sancristobal said. \"Hospitals have to be a place where patients feel safe. We don't understand how we could have had so many attacks.\" The coalition promised in January to conduct a review into the strikes on MSF facilities and set up a \"hotline\" with the charity. Ms Sancristobal said she did not know what the coalition meant by \"hotline\" — MSF has been communicating its positions since the beginning of the conflict. \"The communication is good, the results are bad,\" she said. In Syria, where two hospitals suffered direct air strikes last week, MSF has been forced to take a startling and opposite tack: withholding the GPS co-ordinates of its facilities from the Syrian and Russian militaries over fears they are being deliberately targeted. Dr Carrara is preparing to leave Yemen. In Saada city, things are beginning to improve — it is safe enough for the medical staff to live in a house opposite the hospital, although they still do not go out, only shuttle between the two buildings. The hospital is open again for inpatients, meaning people with chronic illnesses can again seek treatment. Women are delivering babies on the wards again, every day, and staying the night. It does not take Dr Carrara long to recall the moment that meant the most to her. One morning last October, shortly after returning to Yemen, she arrived for her shift and noticed a woman sitting quietly in the waiting area, her face covered by a veil. She asked a nurse what the woman was waiting for. \"She's waiting for you,\" the nurse replied. It was the woman whose arms had been so badly wounded in May, whose four young children had died. Just as her husband had asked, the hospital staff had done everything they could — a massive operation to close her wounds, months of dressing her arms every day under sedation because the pain was so intense. And on top of all that, treatment for the malaria she contracted during her recovery. \"What stayed with me was that she had never once complained, never,\" Dr Carrara said. \"This woman who lost her four children, she didn't complain when she arrived, she didn't complain when she was treated, she didn't complain during her recovery. Her bravery... I couldn't understand how.\" That morning, in the waiting area at the hospital, she was alive and well. She had lost three fingers but only a small amount of movement in her arms. She was managing her daily activities, she said. She was coping. It was more than the doctors who had stood with her on the same spot six months before could have hoped. Dr Carrara has an understated way of describing things — perhaps it is just the effort of using a second language — but her voice thickens a little with emotion as she remembers. \"It was difficult to talk, I don't speak Arabic. The nurse translated for us. She had come to say thank-you. It was nice. It was so nice.\"",

The idea for Berwick, which has a population of 13,000, to apply for the accolade was first mooted in 2005. But members of Cittaslow, the town's organisation set up to improve quality of life for residents, said they were realistic about the time it would take. They estimated they would not be ready to submit their bid to Unesco - the UN cultural body - for several years. \"Tourism is our principal employer - Berwick's future is in its past,\" said retired teacher Bernard Shaw, a resident of the town, which marks the border between Scotland and England. He added: \"Cittaslow means 'slow living', we are about promoting Berwick, quality living in a quality town, with international appeal. \"The bid for status is at least a 15-year project.\" Mr Shaw, who retired to the town in 1988 after being a frequent visitor, said Berwick's history was fascinating with endless places to visit. Its attractions include the well-preserved 1570s Bell Tower, its ramparts ordered to be built by Elizabeth I to defend the town, and the Ravensdowne ice houses, built in the 1780s to keep locally-caught salmon fresh before being transported to London. But probably its most famous landmark is its Royal Border Bridge, which was opened by Queen Victoria in 1850. The town has changed hands between England and Scotland - usually following battles between the two countries - about 13 times, the last in 1482. Mr Shaw also said there was still a long-running debate over whether England's most northerly town should be in Scotland - its football team, Berwick Rangers, is the only English team to play in the Scottish league. A World Heritage site is described as a historic monument, group of buildings or site which is of outstanding universal value to the international community. The Pyramids of Egypt, the Great Barrier Reef in Australia and Liverpool's historic docklands all have World Heritage status. The resulting prestige of the title means worldwide publicity, as well as grants to help preserve attractions, and restrictions on developments. A spokeswoman for the Department of Culture Media and Sport, which recommends which bids go before Unesco, said a \"huge amount of work\" went into the process. There are currently 28 sites in the UK which have the status. The spokeswoman said: \"Inscription as a World Heritage Site is an acknowledgement of the truly global significance of such places. \"It is an honour and a privilege and can bring social and economic benefits. \"Because all sites have to be of truly global importance, the World Heritage List, which we put forward, is inevitably very selective and many places of national or even of international, significance will not make it on to the list. \"Inscription also carries responsibilities for the protection, preservation and transmission to future generations of the site's outstanding universal value.\" Mr Shaw said one option to improve the town's chances of gaining the status was to widen its appeal by widening its borders to include, for example Holy Island or Flodden - the site of famous 1513 battle between the English and the Scots. He said: \"There are many walled towns in the UK. \"We need to enlarge our area of geographical interest and focus our attention on taking Berwick out of the walls.\"",

The defendant, from Croydon, was found guilty of murder following a trial at Croydon Crown Court. He had also previously pleaded guilty to four counts of robbery over the attack which took place shortly after midnight on 26 February.

Chichester Festival Theatre was awarded £12m and the Royal Opera House £10m from the Arts Council's first capital investment scheme in nine years. The Southbank Centre and High House Production Park were also successful. The National Theatre's director, Nicholas Hytner, said it \"warmly welcomed\" the endorsement of its plans for \"a dramatic opening-up and renewal of Denys Lasdun's 1970s building\". The £17.5m makes up 25% of the London venue's £70m target for its Future project, £40m of which has already been raised from \"trusts, individuals and the National's own earnings from War Horse\". It hopes to make the theatre more visible and accessible with a new main entrance and more opportunities for public participation, such as dedicated learning spaces and a backstage viewing gallery. Chichester Festival Theatre said the £12m it has received in Arts Council funding means it has now raised £20m of the £22m needed for its RENEW campaign. It had already secured local government funding and an \"overwhelming\" £8m from local businesses, trusts and individuals. The Grade II listed Festival Theatre, named regional theatre of the year by The Stage in January, celebrates its 50th anniversary this year with a season of special events. Several of its recent big productions have transferred to the West End including Singin' in the Rain, Sweeney Todd and Yes, Prime Minister and its co-production of Kiss Me, Kate will transfer to The Old Vic in November. The theatre's executive director, Alan Finch, said: \"The Festival Theatre is now operating on a scale way beyond what was envisaged when it was built and opened in 1962\". Planned improvements include a new extension and increased seating capacity. Tony Hall, chief executive of The Royal Opera House said 13 years after the venue was last redeveloped things are \"beginning to go wrong, break down and wear out\". \"This money will not be spent on chandeliers and red carpets,\" said Hall. \"But on things that make the building function properly and to full capacity in the most energy efficient way.\" He added that being able to use a capital fund for this \"vital stuff\" meant it could continue to invest in both art and education. The Southbank Centre's £3.3m development grant will go towards refurbishing its Queen Elizabeth Hall and Hayward Gallery complex to bring them up to the standard of the Royal Festival Hall. High House Production Park in Purfleet, Essex, which provides art facilities for those working backstage, was awarded £1m to develop 43 new affordable artists' studios. Last year hundreds of arts groups saw their applications for Arts Council grants turned down due to cuts in government funding. More than 200 organisations that had previously received regular funding missed out after Arts Council England had its budget cut by £100m in 2010's October spending review. In March this year, research by The Stage found that more than one in 10 arts companies who had lost all of their core Arts Council funding had shut down or were closing.",

Tests carried out in 2018 later revealed copper levels were up to three times higher than recommended. North Lanarkshire Council said it was investigating the source of the contamination. It said it was in the process of replacing 300m of copper piping at the campus, with work due to be completed by the end of February. Flushed weekly The school complex, which also houses a community centre, was constructed on Townhead Road on a former landfill site in 2012. A water investigation team visited the campus in March 2018 and took samples of water from a medical room, snack area and home economics and science classrooms after concerns were voiced by staff and pupils. That resulted in a recommendation that the campus' pipes be flushed weekly to reduce the risk of copper build-up in the system. Testers also recommended that any metal piping at the schools was replaced. Follow-up tests carried out on the 23 November found copper levels in the water were again above the recommended health levels - which were set to guard against the risk of gastric irritation for those consuming the water. Coatbridge and Chryston SNP MSP Fulton MacGregor criticised the Labour-led local authority for not replacing the pipe work sooner. 'All necessary precautions' He said: \"It was recommended almost a year ago that the corroded pipes needed replaced, but nothing was done about it for a further eight months.\" He added: \"Why wasn't the situation made clear to parents and staff who had already expressed their concerns? And why were warnings over safety ignored for so long? \"Bottled water was only provided to the schools from November 2018, so were any staff or pupils put at risk in the meantime?\" Mr McGregor said the council needed to be \"completely transparent about what steps were taken and when, and make clear that all necessary precautions were put in place to ensure safety of teachers and pupils.\" A spokesman for North Lanarkshire Council denied there was any delay in their response and that the system had been flushed twice a day to help prevent a build-up of copper solution in the taps. He told the BBC: \"When we received this report, all options were considered to address the issue, including the replacement of copper piping. \"Given this is a significant job as the campus has in excess of 300m of copper piping, further investigation was required to establish the scale of the problem, including finding the source. \"Corrective action was taken immediately by regularly flushing the system, which is in line with the recommendations by the Drinking Water Quality Regulator.\" He added: \"We have been replacing all the copper pipework with plastic pipes in all three buildings of the campus. \"This work is 95% complete and has been carried out over the weekends and holidays and is due to be finished this month.\" The council said that samples had since been taken from all areas where pipes were replaced and that the copper build-up had now been addressed.",

This recent landslide has shown us that our investment has helped to keep the A83 open.\" Eddie Ross, a spokesman for Bear Scotland, said: \"Despite the extremely heavy rainfall this weekend, the A83 remained opened to motorists.

Mr Trump has strongly criticised the agreement, which he calls \"insane\". In a call with Theresa May on Saturday, the president \"underscored his commitment to ensure that Iran never acquires a nuclear weapon\". In the landmark deal - signed by the US, China, Russia, Germany, France, the UK and Iran - the latter agrees to limit its nuclear activities in return for the easing of sanctions on its economy. European allies France, the UK and Germany all agree the current deal is the best way to stop Iran developing nuclear weapons and the UN also warned Mr Trump not to walk away from the deal. But Mr Trump has threatened to withdraw unless the signatories agree to \"fix the deal's disastrous flaws.\" The British Ambassador to the US says France, UK and Germany have been working together for weeks to figure out a new way to address Mr Trump's concerns that the terms of the agreement are too lenient. However, Sir Kim Darroch insists all three countries are looking at how a deal would work even without the US. Iran's President Hassan Rouhani says the US will face \"historic regret\" if it pulls out. In remarks carried live on state television, he said Iran had \"a plan to counter any decision Trump may take and we will confront it\". Mr Johnson will meet US Vice-President Mike Pence, National Security Adviser John Bolton and foreign policy leaders in Congress. Ahead of the trip, Mr Johnson said the UK and US are \"in lockstep\" on many global foreign policy issues, citing the response to the use of chemical weapons in Syria and the Salisbury poisonings. He added: \"The UK, US and European partners are also united in our effort to tackle the kind of Iranian behaviour that makes the Middle East region less secure - its cyber activities, its support for groups like Hezbollah, and its dangerous missile programme, which is arming Houthi militias in Yemen.\" The UK-US talks come after Israel revealed \"secret nuclear files\" accusing Iran of having run a secret nuclear weapons programme, which was reportedly mothballed 15 years ago. US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said the documents were authentic and show the 2015 Iran nuclear deal was \"built on lies\". Iran, in turn, accused Mr Netanyahu of lying. Foreign Minister Javad Zarif said the documents produced by Israel were a rehash of old allegations already dealt with by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the UN's nuclear watchdog. Mr Trump has until the deadline of 12 May to make a decision on the deal - the next deadline for waiving sanctions. Earlier this month, Mr Johnson said it was important to keep the deal \"while building on it in order to take account of the legitimate concerns of the US\". Mr Johnson's discussions are also expected to cover the crisis in Syria and also North Korea, ahead of Mr Trump's meeting with Kim Jong-un, which now has a date and location arranged.",

Before Chung, the last time you saw a similar skirt was probably in photos of your mum in the 70s. The modern skirt is being credited with helping to \"jump start\" the first profit rise for four years at M&S. When it went on sale in early May it quickly sold out. Now it's back in stock and fashion magazines are urging readers to sharpen their elbows and hit the local M&S before they sell out again. \"Hurry, Hurry,\" says Look Magazine. But it feels like we've been here before, says the Guardian's Hadley Freeman. Last time M&S managed to convince women they needed a pink coat in their lives. The skirt and the coat both \"represent a triumph of M&S PR over actual fashion for women\", she says. The ubiquitous skirt is making some feel left out of the fashion party. \"Am I the only person who doesn't like M&S' Suede Skirt?\" tweets ‏@roshETC. Others appeal for common sense to prevail: \"Just because it's endorsed by a celeb we don't have to follow like sheep,\" tweets VivChance. M&S has come over all coy about the skirt saga and won't tell the Huffington Post how many people are on the waiting list for the skirt. But it does say that it is \"really excited to see demand for something develop so quickly\". A cynic might say that plugging the skirt in the fashion press for months may not be classed as \"quickly\" but who are they to quibble. The Mirror seems to know, saying the online waiting list had 800 names on it within an hour of the skirt coming back into stock and now has more than 3,500 names on it. Will they be happy? No, says Freeman. \"The reason women tend not to own many mid-length skirts is that they look terrible. Oh sure, some women look great in them - long, willowy women. The rest of us, however, suspect we look like substitute teachers from the 1970s and feel about as elegant as dumplings.\" Penny Liechti tweets it like it is. \"I'm off to try on The M&S Skirt, laugh at how rubbish it looks on me, then take it back.\" Some have already moved on from the skirt.

Bosses asked doctors for fingerprints and handwriting samples to discover the author. The trust has since apologised. The Care Quality Commission (CQC) found the leadership \"did not demonstrate an open and empowering culture\". Trust chief executive Dr Stephen Dunn said they had withdrawn the request for fingerprints in October. \"I have written to all our consultants as well as all our staff to make it clear that we have apologised,\" he said. \"It will now be subject to an external review and we will make sure that we learn those lessons and I am very sorry that we have impacted on staff in this way.\" The hospital serves some constituents of Health Secretary Matt Hancock, who is the MP for West Suffolk, and the Department of Health and Social Care has asked the NHS to commission a review into whistleblowing at the trust. The CQC inspection, held across September and October, rated the trust as requiring improvement, having previously been found to be outstanding in December 2017. The regulator's report concluded hospital employees \"did not feel listened to and saw others that had raised concerns be penalised\". \"Not all staff felt supported, respected or valued and some feared reprisals if they raised concerns,\" it added. Jon Warby said he received the letter two months after his wife's death in August 2018 and said he was \"quite surprised\" by the lengths the hospital reportedly went to find its author. The Doctors' Association described the hospital's attempt to find the writer as a \"witch-hunt\". The report following the CQC inspection said some actions in relation to internal investigations by the hospital were \"unusual and of concern\". Inspectors said some staff perceived communications as \"threatening in nature, with a focus on apportioning blame\". In September, the hospital's medical staff committee raised concerns \"by multiple departments in regard to the culture and behaviours of the executive body, on multiple occasions, that had not endorsed the trust values of freedom to speak up\". A meeting took place to address concerns but the CQC found that a letter to the committee's chair \"could be considered intimidating, and confirmed to us the continued disconnect around communication\". Inspectors also found \"significant concerns\" within the maternity and midwifery service, which included the failure to track and score observations of some women and newborn babies. The CQC put a warning notice in place stating improvements to the service must be made by 31 January. Chair of the West Suffolk NHS Trust Sheila Childerhouse said it would be \"reviewing our culture and openness to make sure there is an environment where everyone has an opportunity to contribute and play a full part in our improvement\". Mr Dunn said: \"While we acknowledge and accept the areas of concern this report highlights, the CQC has rated many of the trust's services as good or outstanding and found that NHS teams across the board treated patients with compassion and respect, and we're pleased our hardworking staff have been recognised.\"",

            "input": "This is how to rid your life of gluten. First, chuck out your bread, flour and wheat breakfast cereals. Throw away open jars of jam and tubs of margarine in case they harbour crumbs. Invite friends to your house to drink all your beer and start taking your own sausages to barbecues (and cook them on a separate grill). Millions of people are doing all of the above, and probably a lot more besides, as they go gluten-free. Twenty-nine percent of adult Americans - 70 million people - say they are trying to cut back on gluten, according to the market research company NPD Group. In the UK, The pollster YouGov reports that 60% of adults have bought a gluten-free product and 10% of households contain someone who believes gluten is bad for them. Here's how my own household became one of those 2.6 million homes. In February, my 21-month-old son Sam went down with what appeared to be a nasty virus. My wife and I set about dealing with the vomiting and diarrhoea, expecting things to improve in a few days. But as the weeks passed, we began to wonder what kind of virus this could be. Normally a force to be reckoned with at the table, Sam began to pick at his food and lose weight. At bath time we could see the outline of his ribs above his belly, which had swollen up like a balloon. He stopped walking or even being able to stand, and his sunny personality shaded over. He screamed at strangers and refused to make eye contact or even look in a mirror. Day and night, the house was filled with the sound of jarringly upbeat nursery rhymes playing on a loop from YouTube - watching them was the only thing that seemed to bring him any pleasure at all. One day, feeling overwhelmed, we went to the hospital emergency department, and it was there that a paediatrician first mentioned an illness that I had never heard of before. I had no idea what coeliac disease was, or even how it was spelled. A blood test and biopsy confirmed that my son had this autoimmune condition that is fed by gluten, a protein. Gluten is found in wheat, and very similar proteins are present in barley and rye. Even a crumb of bread, we were told, was enough to send Sam's body haywire. Sam - and I mean this in the nicest possible way - is an evolutionary throwback. Go back more than 10,000 years and everyone was on a gluten-free diet. Then they started farming - an agrarian revolution that gave our species the free time to build civilisations and develop culture and technology. Human beings generally have a lot to thank gluten for. It makes our bread light and springy, since it is able to trap steam and carbon dioxide as dough rises, and during baking. But it is unique among proteins in that it cannot be broken down completely by human beings into amino acids. The best we can manage is to break it into chains of acids called peptides. These simply pass through most people's bodies, but coeliacs are genetically predisposed to flag them up to the immune system, which believes it is being attacked by microbes. A war begins, and there is collateral damage: a flattening of the villi, the finger-like fronds that line the small intestine and absorb nutrients into the bloodstream. As they become stunted, their surface area decreases and they cannot do their job properly. When the gastroenterologist showed me pictures of Sam's small intestine it was red and inflamed. (I didn't really know what I was looking at, but he assured me it wasn't good.) There are many alarming long-term effects of untreated coeliac disease, ranging from stunted growth to bad skin rashes and - in rare cases - intestinal lymphoma. Worryingly, most people who have it don't know about it and may not even have any obvious symptoms (in the UK only 24% of sufferers are diagnosed). It's unknown why it \"switches on\" at any given time and there is currently no cure, but there is a simple treatment - steer clear of gluten. About a week after we started to do this, Sam began to brighten up and put on weight. He gained two kilos in two weeks - the amount children his age typically put on in a year. Before too long, the little boy we had not seen for some months came back. Coeliac disease is quite common, afflicting about 1% of people in the developed world, but it isn't enough to explain the burgeoning popularity of the gluten-free diet. According to Mintel, 7% of UK adults say they avoid gluten because of an \"allergy\" or \"intolerance\" (strictly speaking, coeliac disease is neither of those), and a further 8% avoid it as part of a general \"healthy lifestyle\". This view, that gluten isn't just bad for coeliacs like Sam, but for everyone, is endorsed by bloggers, best-selling nutritionists and celebrities. A report on the US gluten-free market by Mintel values it at almost $9bn, because \"the health halo surrounding the gluten-free category continues to drive general consumer interest\". The singer Miley Cyrus encapsulated the mood in a tweet: \"Gluten is crapppp anyway!\" A glance at internet searches over the years suggests that the rise of interest in gluten-free diets has little to do with a growing awareness of coeliac disease, and a lot to do with the popularity of \"paleo\" diets - the food movement that seeks to return humankind to the Stone Age, at least as far as diet is concerned. I did my own journalistic hunter-gathering at the Allergy and Free From exhibition in west London, a beacon for all loathers and avoiders of gluten, dairy, nuts and the like. The exhibition was actually a three-in-one, as this year a vegetarian / vegan show and an organic show were bolted on to the allergy exhibition. \"When we were starting to ask the [allergy] audience about other things they were interested in, it turns out we had 40% or 50% vegetarians or vegans coming through the door,\" Tom Treverton, the event's director, told me. While some of the show's 35,000 visitors would just be looking for niche products to answer their particular dietary need, \"there is an emerging trend in the Free From lifestyler - that is the person who wants to cut something out of their diet for another reason - not because they're allergic to it, but because they feel better when they do it, and they think it might be healthier.\" The crossover isn't just with organic and vegetarian food. You don't have to wander far past the cakes, beers and salty snacks to find yourself looking at acupressure mats and energy balls. A surprising number of pet charities were also present at the event. \"I didn't think I'd like it, but it's brilliant, so I'd definitely consider it,\" one woman told me, speaking about the gluten-free diet that my son must follow for the rest of his life. Most people I spoke to, though, had genuine health concerns. I met coeliacs on a mission to find a decent loaf of bread or bottle of beer, but I spoke to even more people who described themselves as \"gluten intolerant\". \"It's terribly embarrassing to turn up at a social event with swollen lips or a swollen face,\" said Elizabeth Jones, referring to an intolerance she began suffering from 15 years ago. Gluten was just one of a number of foods that she cut from her diet - the list also included grapes - which, by trial and error, seemed to alleviate her symptoms. Another woman, Debra from Hertfordshire, used to suffer from acid reflux. She was checked for coeliac disease, and found not to have it, but a hospital dietician nevertheless recommended that she cut gluten from her diet. It seemed to do the trick. Debra herself is a paediatric gastroenterology nurse. She told me she saw a large number of children, whose villi were undamaged and therefore got a negative biopsy result - but like her, their condition improved when they stopped eating gluten. In February 2011, some of the world's leading researchers on coeliac disease met in a hotel near Heathrow Airport in London to discuss patients like Debra, who had many of the outward signs of coeliac disease but few of the inward ones. A report of this meeting, published in the journal BMC Medicine, proposed that doctors broaden their scope from just looking at coeliac disease, to a \"spectrum of gluten-related\" disorders, with coeliac and wheat allergy (which affects a tiny minority of people) at one end of the spectrum, and \"non-coeliac gluten sensitivity\" at the other. The existence of gluten sensitivity remains disputed, but one of the men in the room in 2011, Dr Alessio Fasano, director for the Center of Celiac Research in the US, is a believer. His open-minded attitude is a result of his remarkable experience treating coeliac disease in North America. In 1993, he took up the post of director of paediatric gastroenterology at the University of the Maryland School of Medicine. He was a young doctor from Naples in Italy, where he had seen perhaps 20 or 30 children a week with coeliac disease. It was a different story in the US. \"The days, the weeks, the months passed by - and I did not see a single case of coeliac. Not a single case,\" he recalls. In 1996, Fasano published a paper in a paediatrics journal entitled Where have all the American coeliacs gone? The research, based on analysis of 2,000 blood samples that Fasano bought from the Red Cross, contended that there were just as many coeliacs in the US as there were in Europe, but because the disease was so narrowly defined in America, they were being misdiagnosed. The reception from his peers was sceptical. So Fasano and his team launched a much larger epidemiological study of 13,000 people. This helped shift the estimated prevalence from one in 10,000 to one in 133. His clinic now treats more than 1,000 patients a year. Unlike wheat allergy and coeliac disease, gluten sensitivity does not have a known set of biomarkers - doctors can't tell if a patient is suffering from it by examination (although there is a blood test, it doesn't give accurate results for many patients). So it can only be diagnosed by first ruling out other diseases and then trying out a gluten-free diet. Although gluten has no nutritional value in itself, making a radical change to one's diet without the supervision of a dietitian is a bad idea, Fasano insists. \"Going gluten-free deprives you of many key elements of the diet, like vitamins and fibres that need to be supplemented in order to maintain balanced nutrition,\" he says. Find out more Part of the controversy surrounding gluten sensitivity stems from the fact that it is difficult to disentangle any benefits someone may experience by adopting a gluten-free diet from the placebo effect - the power of a patient's expectation that a treatment will lead to a cure. A study published in February is the latest in a number of experiments with a \"double blind\" design, to sidestep the placebo effect. The Italian researchers tested 61 non-coeliac patients who believed they had gluten sensitivity, dividing them into groups that either received a daily dose of gluten or a rice starch placebo for a week, before swapping to the other treatment. Neither the patients nor the researchers knew until after the experiment who had been given the placebo first, and who the gluten first. Many of the patients suffered symptoms including intestinal problems, foggy mind and depression while they were taking gluten, suggesting it really was the source of their problems. The lack of physical biomarkers for gluten sensitivity also means that it is hard to know how many people are affected. Fasano's best guess, which he has arrived at by looking at patient records, is 6% - a much higher number than coeliac disease's 1%. But with 29% of American adults trying to avoid gluten, that still leaves 22% - 53 million - who are not on the spectrum of gluten-related disorders, but who say they want to cut gluten from their diet. In 2013, 200 million gluten-free orders were made in restaurants, according to NPD. \"We've been scratching our heads to understand this social phenomenon,\" Fasano says. \"We started this crusade, so to speak, to really make the North American community aware that coeliac disease existed. We didn't realise that this pendulum was going to go out of control and go all the way to the other side.\" When I ask if adopting a gluten-free diet can help someone lose weight, Fasano laughs. \"If you go on a gluten-free diet, taking substitutes like gluten-free beer, pasta, cookies and so on, if anything you gain weight. If you take a regular cookie, it's 70 calories. The same cookie, gluten-free, can go as high as 210 calories. \"You have to substitute gluten with something that makes that cookie palatable, so you have to load it with fat and sugars. Just consider that. A gram of protein is four calories, a gram of fat is nine.\" But, he adds, it may be possible to lose weight on a gluten-free diet by choosing natural products like fresh fish, meat, vegetables and fruit. Two best-selling books, Wheat Belly by William Davis, and Grain Brain by David Perlmutter, have been particularly influential in steering healthy Americans away from the \"dangers\" of wheat and gluten. Both books make frequent reference to Fasano's research, but he says they are full of exaggeration and generalisation (\"Gluten and carbs are destroying your brain,\" reads the back of Perlmutter's book). Frustrated by the sensationalist coverage, Fasano published his own book last year, Gluten Freedom, written with Susie Flaherty. He says that eating gluten poses no risk to people who fall outside the spectrum of gluten-related disorders - and most experts agree with him. \"It's really important when we have something like gluten, to let the science be slow and humble,\" says another writer on the subject, Alan Levinovitz. \"We always jump the gun on dietary science, and we've done it again and again and again.\" A scholar of religion and literature, it may seem odd that Levinovitz has been drawn into the gluten debate. But he says he sees the anti-gluten fad as connecting powerful myths of a past paradise with a trendy anti-corporate attitude to the food industry. The great gluten divide 41% of US adults think gluten-free diet benefits everyone but... 44% say they are a fad $8.8bn: value of the gluten-free market in the US in 2014 $14.2bn: projected value by 2017 In his new book, The Gluten Lie, Levinovitz points out that it is not the first time that a treatment for coeliac disease has become hip. American doctors in the 1920s, ignorant of the role of gluten, put coeliacs on a diet of bananas and milk, supplemented with broth, gelatine and a little meat. They thought the bananas contained special enzymes that helped the patients - in fact, the diet worked merely because it excluded any gluten-containing foodstuffs. However, by the 1930s, the \"bananas and skimmed milk\" diet had become a weight-loss craze in the US. The tennis star Novak Djokovic believes he owes his stellar 2011 season to giving up gluten. In his book Serve to Win, he describes the moment his nutritionist Igor Cetojevic gave him a slice of bread and told him to hold it against his stomach while he held his other arm out straight. Then Cetojevic pushed down on his arm. \"With the bread against my stomach, my arm struggled to resist Cetojevic's downward pressure. I was noticeably weaker,\" the tennis star writes. \"This is a sign that your body is rejecting the wheat in the bread,\" Cetojevic told him. (Djokovic did go on to have a blood test too.) Many of the celebrities who have given up gluten - a list that includes Gwyneth Paltrow, Miley Cyrus and Victoria Beckham - say they have not removed gluten from their diets for fun, but because they have an intolerance, one usually identified with the help of a nutritionist or health guru. \"The loudest evangelists are the ones for whom it genuinely works,\" says Levinovitz. \"So maybe there is someone who was undiagnosed with coeliac, or maybe it's someone who really did have non-coeliac gluten sensitivity. There are people who actually do treat genuine physiological conditions with dietary changes that they have chosen to undertake themselves, having gone to unsympathetic doctors. \"But those stories have snowballed into a much larger community of people, who think, 'Well hey, if it works for my friend who really seems to love it, I should try it.' Then of course, the placebo effect, combined with the fact that they are not drinking five beers a night, makes them feel better and they think it was that gluten.\" In his book, Levinovitz also discusses the \"nocebo\" effect - the idea that a belief that something can do you harm really brings about negative effects. Could it be that a great swathe of America is really undergoing what doctors refer to as \"mass sociogenic illness\" when it comes to gluten? Unsurprisingly, people don't like to be told that their illness is all in their head. Levinovitz knew he was going to get a strong reaction to his book, but he was taken aback by the scale of the hate mail he received. \"If you tell someone, 'Hey, scientists have just found out that Pluto's not a planet' no-one cares. They just say, 'Oh wow - it's a meteor? That's great.'\" But, he says, telling people about food myths is like attacking their identity. \"It's terrifying to think that we might not understand ourselves. That we might be mistaken about our own bodies and about the effects of what we put into our bodies on ourselves. In retrospect, I wish my tone had been a little less mocking, a little more sensitive.\" But Levinovitz strongly believes that the gluten-free fad is not risk-free. Many patients with eating disorders, he says, began their downward journey with exclusion diets. For the vast majority, this is not an issue, but cutting out gluten remains difficult, and potentially expensive and harmful to our relationship with food. In fact, there is some evidence to suggest that extreme anxiety about what we eat can lead to symptoms that are not unlike those of gluten sensitivity. For coeliacs like Jodie Brain, another acquaintance I made at the Allergy and Free From exhibition, the gluten-free fad has been helpful in some ways. \"It's useful in that it makes supermarkets bring in more products because more people are buying them,\" she told me. Years ago, gluten-free bread came in a tin. Then, in the 1990s there was a joke that you had to eat gluten-free products on the day you bought them because afterwards it would be impossible to tell them apart from their cardboard packaging. As he grows up, my little boy will benefit from an unprecedented range and quality of food products for his condition. It is also brilliant that when you tell people in cafes and restaurants that he is gluten-free, they actually know what you are talking about. But although I rarely get blank stares, I do sometimes catch sardonic looks exchanged between staff. When my wife explained his condition to one chef, he replied: \"Oh so he actually can't eat gluten then. Most people, when I show them the allergy menu, change their minds and ask for something off the normal one.\" Jodie Brain agrees. \"People see you as: 'Oh - faddy diet',\" she says. \"We have to do it, we don't have a choice, whereas those people do.\" Gluten-free diets were discussed on Health Check, on the BBC World Service.

            "input": "By Kevin PeacheyPersonal finance reporter, BBC News The wartime leader's image is planned to feature on the reverse of the new £5 note, together with one of his most celebrated quotations. Churchill was chosen owing to his place as \"a hero of the entire free world\", said Bank governor Sir Mervyn King. The current face of the £5 note is social reformer Elizabeth Fry. 'Truly great leader' A wide range of historical characters appears on the reverse of Bank of England banknotes, with Elizabeth Fry the only woman among the current crop. The Bank of England governor has the final say about who appears on a banknote, although the public can make suggestions. The latest addition has been announced by Sir Mervyn at Churchill's former home of Chartwell, in Westerham, Kent. \"Our banknotes acknowledge the life and work of great Britons. Sir Winston Churchill was a truly great British leader, orator and writer,\" Sir Mervyn said. \"Above that, he remains a hero of the entire free world. His energy, courage, eloquence, wit and public service are an inspiration to us all.\" Current plans, which the Bank said might be reviewed, are for Churchill to appear on the new £5 note to be issued in 2016. Security measures The design includes a portrait of the former prime minister, adapted from a photograph taken by Yousuf Karsh on 30 December 1941. He is the only politician from the modern era to feature on a banknote. The artwork will also include: Sir Mervyn said that this was an appropriate choice given the country's economic difficulties. \"We do not face the challenges faced by Churchill's generation. But we have our own,\" he said. \"The spirit of those words remains as relevant today as it was to my parents' generation who fought for the survival of our country and freedom under Churchill's leadership.\" The Bank of England issues nearly a billion banknotes each year, and withdraws almost as many from circulation. Notes are redesigned on a relatively frequent basis, in order to maintain security and prevent forgeries. Other security features include threads woven into the paper and microlettering. The most recent new design from the Bank of England was the £50 note, which entered circulation in November. This features Matthew Boulton and James Watt who were most celebrated for bringing the steam engine into the textile manufacturing process. While Bank of England notes are generally accepted throughout the UK, three banks in Scotland and four in Northern Ireland are authorised to issue banknotes. Pharmacologist Sir Alexander Fleming, poet Robert Burns, and tyre inventor John Boyd Dunlop are among those who appear on these notes. One commemorative £5 note featuring football great George Best proved so popular that the limited edition of one million sold out in 10 days. In May, a new five-euro note will be put into circulation by the European Central Bank. It features an image of the Greek goddess Europa, which comes from a vase in the Louvre Museum in Paris. History The image of Churchill has featured on currency before. He was the first commoner to be shown on a British coin when he appeared on the 1965 crown, or five shilling piece. Churchill, elected as a Conservative MP in 1900, served as chancellor in Stanley Baldwin's government. He replaced Neville Chamberlain to become the wartime British prime minister in May 1940 until 1945. He returned to office in 1951, and retired in 1955, aged 80. \"The Bank is privileged to be able to celebrate the significant and enduring contribution Sir Winston Churchill made to the UK, and beyond,\" said Chris Salmon, chief cashier of the Bank of England, whose signature will also appear on the banknote. Sir Nicholas Soames, Churchill's grandson and MP for Mid Sussex, said: \"I think it is a wonderful tribute to him and an appropriate time. I can't think of any more marvellous thing that would have pleased him more.\" He described the move as a great honour for the family.",

The account of one anonymous accuser has been removed from Twitter, but Justin Bieber responded to it, saying: \"There is no truth to this story.\" The second account is still online. This account is not anonymous. A spokesperson for Justin Bieber told Newsbeat they wouldn't comment and had nothing to add to the singer's tweets. Over the weekend, Riverdale actors also denied accusations of a sexual offence made by other anonymous accounts. An account from a woman known only as Danielle detailed claims of an assault in Houston, Texas on 9 March 2014. She says she was encouraged to come forward after seeing unrelated claims about an American actor online. Danielle claims that after a surprise performance in front of a small crowd at a bar, Justin Bieber invited her and two friends to a Four Seasons hotel in Austin,Texas. She says he took her to a private room where the sexual assault happened. She says she did not tell anyone for years, but has now had \"multiple therapy sessions\" and spoken to close friends and family. These tweets have been deleted but screengrabs of her comments continue to be shared. Justin Bieber responded to the allegation \"after talking with [his] wife and team\", with a denial. In a series of tweets, the singer posted screenshots and articles from the night the alleged 2014 assault took place, which show him with his then-girlfriend Selena Gomez. He says they did not stay at the Four Seasons hotel but at an AirBnB with some friends. He also shared a screenshot of a tweet which claimed he was spotted at the Four Seasons restaurant on 10 March, the day after the alleged assault. That Twitter account appears to have been deleted. Newsbeat has contacted Four Seasons for comment. Justin Bieber has also shared screenshots of emails and receipts for an AirBnB and for the Westin hotel for the dates in question. He says he was using the fake name Mike Lowery. Justin Bieber has not responded to a second allegation from a second person known as Kadi, who claims she was assaulted in a New York hotel in May 2015. Newsbeat has asked his representatives for a response to this. More anonymous allegations On the same weekend, Justin retweeted actor Cole Sprouse, who was accused along with other members of the Riverdale cast, of sexual assault. Those accusations came from other anonymous accounts and were denied by the cast. Cole Sprouse added: \"I take these accusations very seriously, and will be working with the right teams to get to the root of it.\" He was accused alongside co-stars Vanessa Morgan, Lili Reinhart, and KJ Apa.

Liberty House took over both facilities in April, under a deal brokered by the Scottish government's steel task force. Dalzell is now back to rolling steel for industry. Liberty aims to re-open Clydebridge in the near future. Ms Sturgeon was given a tour of the Dalzell mill and and met workers and apprentices during the official re-opening. The first minister said: \"This is a fantastic day for Dalzell workers, for Motherwell and for Scotland's steel industry. \"Restarting steel production has only been possible thanks to the tremendous team effort of everyone involved in the steel taskforce to find a viable future for this site, meaning workers here in Lanarkshire can once again produce world-class products. \"Liberty House are seizing an exciting opportunity and the Scottish government and its agencies will continue to work with Sanjeev Gupta and his team to ensure a successful future in Scotland.\" Liberty Group has hired 120 staff to work at Dalzell - many of them former employees - and hopes to increase employment to 200 within 18 months. Jon Bolton, chief executive of Liberty Steel UK, said the reopening of the plant was \"hugely important\" to the steel industry in Scotland. He said: \"Without it restarting, there wouldn't be a steel industry in Scotland. \"It's not just about boosting the steel industry, it's about the economy. It's expected to bring in another £15m a year to the local economy. \"Today was the day we said we would start production and we are doing so with a vengeance. We intend to ramp up production to 150,000 tonnes a year.\" Mr Bolton said he was \"confident\" Clydebridge would also reopen in the \"near future\", adding that other potential uses such as for manufacturing towers for wind turbines are under consideration for that plant. Dalzell has traditionally provided steel plate for industries such as shipbuilding, construction, mining, oil production and heavy vehicle manufacture. Liberty said the plant had already secured \"a significant number\" of orders for plate, particularly in the construction and energy sectors. The deputy leader of North Lanarkshire Council, Paul Kelly, said the local community was \"delighted\" it was reopening. He said: \"It's been at the heart of our community for over 140 years, it's dominated the skyline and it's an integral part of what we're about as a local community. \"So the feeling really is one of optimism as we look to the future and how we can make sure this works out and creates employment opportunities.\" 'Spirit of partnership' The Scottish government set up a steel task force after Tata announced it was mothballing its plants in Motherwell and Cambuslang, with a total loss of 270 posts. The government later bought the mills and immediately sold them to Liberty. Liberty House Group executive chairman Sanjeev Gupta paid tribute to the support of the Scottish government and Scottish Enterprise in helping the company rescue the plate works. He said: \"There is an impressive spirit of partnership here and a determination to give the Scottish steel industry a real future. \"From our side we promised we would get this important plant open again by the autumn and today we are proud to be fulfilling that promise.\" He said the firm saw \"great opportunities for investment in Scotland and regard this as a very fertile business environment\". Scottish Labour's economy spokesman Richard Leonard said: \"Steel is written into the DNA of communities in Lanarkshire and reopening the plant is an important first step in keeping those traditions alive. \"The next steps here are to develop and implement an effective industrial strategy to ensure that Dalzell can have a long future and provide jobs for current and future steelworkers in Scotland.\" \"There are also vital lessons to be learned here for the long term future. Governments should not simply sit on their hands waiting for a crisis to happen before taking action in key industries and should work to ensure the security of high skill, high quality jobs.\"",

            "input": "By Matt McGrathEnvironment correspondent The UK government has recently announced an investment of £200m to deliver electricity from a fusion reactor by 2040. Private companies and governments have told the BBC they aim to have demonstration models working within five years. But huge hurdles remain, say critics. With the price of wind and solar continuing to drop, experts say these existing renewables might offer a more economical and timely method of tackling climate change and generating energy than an unproven technology like fusion. Nuclear fusion is an attempt to replicate the processes of the Sun on Earth. It differs significantly from nuclear fission, which has been our only way of getting electricity from atoms since the 1950s. Fission has proven to be hugely expensive. It generates large amounts of radioactive waste and raises serious concerns about safety and the proliferation of weapons. So what exactly is fusion? Fusion is the process that drives our Sun. Every single second, millions of tonnes of hydrogen atoms crash together in the tremendous temperatures and pressures of our parent star. This forces them to break their atomic bonds and fuse to make the heavier element, helium. Natural, solar fusion generates enormous quantities of heat and light. For decades, researchers have been trying to replicate this process on Earth, or \"build the Sun in a box\" as one physicist dubbed it. The basic idea is to take a type of hydrogen gas, heat it to more than 100 million degrees until it forms a thin, fragile cloud called a plasma, and then control it with powerful magnets until the atoms fuse and release energy. Potentially, it can generate power that is low carbon, with much smaller amounts of waste. It also comes without the danger of explosions. To deliver the fusion concept, countries have focused their energies on a major international co-operative effort called Iter. Giant step forward or a white elephant? The Iter project involves 35 countries and, right now, it is constructing a huge test reactor in southern France. The plan is to have the first plasma generated in 2025. However, getting from this step to producing energy is extremely difficult. Iter has also been beset by long delays and budget overspend which means it is unlikely to have a demonstration fusion power plant working even by 2050. \"One of the reasons that Iter is late is that it is really, really hard,\" said Prof Ian Chapman, chief executive of the UK Atomic Energy Authority. \"What we are doing is fundamentally pushing the barriers of what's known in the technology world. And of course you reach hurdles and you have to overcome them, which we do all the time and Iter will happen, I am completely convinced of it.\" Until Iter is up and running in 2025, the UK based Joint European Torus (Jet) remains the world's largest fusion experiment. It has secured EU funding until the end of 2020, but what happens after that, and the participation of the UK in Iter after Brexit remain unclear. To give some sense of certainty, the UK government recently announced £220m for the conceptual design of a fusion power station by 2040. Over the next four years, researchers based at Culham in Oxfordshire will develop designs for a fusion power plant called Step or Spherical Tokomak for Energy Production. How will the UK make fusion work? The most widely known approach to making fusion happen involves a doughnut shaped vacuum chamber called a Tokomak. Hydrogen gas is heated to 100 million degrees C at which point it become a plasma. Powerful magnets are used to confine and steer the plasma until fusion occurs. In the UK, researchers have developed a different form of Tokamak, that more resembles an apple core than a doughnut. Called a Spherical Tokamak, it has the advantage of being more compact, potentially allowing future power plants to be located in towns and cities. \"If you look at some of the very big units, the big machines that we are looking at, just finding geographically somewhere to put them is difficult,\" said Nanna Heiberg from the UK Atomic Energy Authority. \"What you really want to do is put them close to where the energy is required. And so if you can do them in a much smaller footprint, you can put them closer to the users and you can put more of them around the country for example.\" So where is the excitement about fusion coming from? While governments are wrestling with Iter, many are also driving ahead with their own national plans. China, India, Russia and the US among others are working on developing commercial reactors. As well as the UK government putting cash in, the European Investment Bank is pumping hundreds of millions of euros into an Italian programme to produce fusion energy by 2050. But perhaps the major excitement comes from private companies. They are usually smaller, nimbler, and they develop by making mistakes and learning from them quickly. There are now dozens of them around the world, raising funds and pushing forward often with different approaches to fusion than that seen in Iter and in the UK. Here's a brief sample of some different approaches to fusion. First Light: This company originated in the University of Oxford and was founded specifically to address the urgent need to decarbonise the global energy system. Their idea involves firing a projectile at a target that contains hydrogen atoms. The shockwave from the impact of the projectile creates a shockwave that crushes the fuel and briefly this reaction will produce plasma that is hotter than the sun and denser than lead. Commonwealth Fusion Systems: A private company created by former Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) staff, CFS has raised significant funding of over $100m. It is focusing on developing a Tokamak system but its key innovation is in superconducting magnets. They hope to build powerful enough magnets so they can build smaller and cheaper Tokomaks to contain the plasmas required to generate fusion. TAE Technologies: With backing from Google and other high tech investors, this California-based company is using a different mix of fuel to develop smaller, cheaper reactors. They want to use hydrogen and boron as both elements are readily available and non-radioactive. Their prototype is a cylindrical colliding beam fusion reactor (CBFR) that heats hydrogen gas to form two rings of plasma. These are merged and held together with beams of neutral particles to make it hotter and last longer. US Navy: Worried about how to power their ships in the future, the US Navy has filed a patent for a \"plasma compression fusion device\". The patent says that it would use magnetic fields to create \"accelerated vibration and/or accelerated spin\". The idea would be to make fusion power reactors small enough to be portable. There's a lot of scepticism that this approach will work. 'A ball of liquid metal...' One of the main challengers with ambitions to make fusion work is a company based in British Columbia, Canada called General Fusion. Their approach, which has gathered a lot of attention and backing from the likes of Amazon's Jeff Bezos, combines cutting edge physics with off the shelf technology. They call their system \"magnetised target fusion\". This approach sees a hot gas plasma injected into a ball of liquid metal inside a steel sphere. It is then compressed by pistons, much like in a diesel engine. \"The pistons all fire simultaneously and collapse the cavity with the fuel inside,\" said Michael Delage, the company's chief technology officer. \"So at the peak of that compression when the fuel bursts into fusion reaction, it is surrounded on all sides by liquid metal so the energy goes into the metal and you take this hot liquid metal and boil water, make steam and make electricity.\" General Fusion say they hope to have a working model within five years. Why hasn't fusion worked so far? Despite the hopes, no one to date has managed to get more energy out of a fusion experiment than they have put in. Most experts are confident the idea will work, but many believe that it is a matter of scale. To make it work, you have to go large. \"I think fusion needs resources to really make it work,\" said Prof Ian Chapman from UKAEA. \"You could do that within a company or a country but you really need to have the requisite scale and resources.\" \"When ITER works, and I say when, not if, it will be a step change for fusion and you will see massive investment come into the field.\" Will renewable energy make fusion redundant? In 2018, the IPCC reported that emissions of carbon dioxide need to be reduced by 45% by 2030 to keep the rise in global temperatures under 1.5C. Getting to that point requires a rapid decarbonisation of the energy sector. The UK has committed to Net Zero emissions by 2050 which will require the deployment of wind and solar on a massive scale. Some argue this is should be a greater priority for Britain, rather than spending large sums on experimental fusion reactors. \"The cost of renewables has shot down while the cost of the world fusion project, Iter has gone up and it now looks very unlikely they will be able to compete without new ideas,\" said Sir Chris Llewellyn Smith, a one time chair of the ITER council and a respected British physicist. \"I don't think this means we should give up on fusion, there are ways it could become cheaper but it is not going to be there immediately when we need in the UK at least.\" Others involved in the fusion industry take a different view. \"If you're a country like Malaysia, that has a high carbon intensity of its energy system, and you're trying to move away from coal, there's not a lot of options today,\" said Chris Mowry, General Fusion's chief executive. \"This is the type of application we're focused on. And even in countries like Canada, which have a fair amount of renewables, it can never be 100% renewables.\" \"And so we need a carbon free source of energy that can complement renewables in the future.\" Follow Matt on Twitter.",

To protect the UK from having to bailout eurozone countries that get into trouble. To officially recognise the EU as a \"multi-currency\" area, giving more protection to non-euro countries like the UK. Likelihood of getting EU agreement: Chancellor George Osborne sounded confident last week that he could do a deal with his German counterpart, Wolfgang Schauble but there will be tough negotiations over the small print and whether Britain should get a full veto. Likely impact on EU referendum: Not a big issue with the general public but seen by the government as the biggest issue for British business. BBC Europe editor Katya Adler says: Has a lot of backing in other European capitals but will the UK insist on having a veto on eurozone legislation? That will be a lot more difficult to achieve than a vote. Read more from Katya. Competitiveness What the goal is: To extend the single market and cut down on excessive regulation - commonly known by critics as \"Brussels bureaucracy\". Likelihood of getting EU agreement: Relatively straightforward because Germany is on board, although there may be haggling over the precise details, which have yet to be revealed. One man's red tape is another man's sensible protection. Likely impact on EU referendum: We've heard a lot about cutting EU or UK \"red tape\" over the years - so it is hard to think it will sway many undecided voters. BBC Chief Correspondent Gavin Hewitt says: Some of these demands can be more easily delivered than others. The EU Commission is already committed to less regulation. Read more from Gavin End obligation to 'ever closer union' What the goal is: Allowing Britain to opt out of the EU's founding ambition to forge an \"ever closer union\" of the peoples of Europe so it will not be drawn into further political integration. Giving national parliaments more of a say in forming EU laws. Likelihood of getting EU agreement: Has caused some eye-rolling in EU circles, with some muttering that the British always want their own special deal, but few real objections. The same goes for the idea of giving national parliaments more say. Likely impact on EU referendum: Will be sold by the stay-in campaign as a major victory for Mr Cameron but the Leave campaign will say it is largely symbolic and the option to give parliaments more say already exists. BBC Chief Correspondent Gavin Hewitt says: There is already a \"yellow card\" mechanism for national parliaments putting a brake on EU legislation, and that could be toughened up. Benefit restrictions What the goal is: Cutting the current high levels of immigration from the EU by reducing what the government claims is one of the major \"pull factors\" - access to in-work and out-of-work benefits including housing subsidies. Likelihood of getting EU agreement: By far the toughest goal Mr Cameron has set himself. Eastern and Central EU countries see it as a direct discrimination against their citizens, while Germany and the European Commission view it as a potential attack on the fundamental EU right of free movement. Mr Cameron is looking at ways round these objections such as making residency rather than immigration status the criteria for claiming benefits. Likely impact on EU referendum: Big, although the Leave campaign will argue that the only way for Britain to truly cut immigration is to regain control of its borders by leaving the EU, whatever kind of deal Mr Cameron manages to put together. BBC Europe editor Katya Adler says: A number of the British ideas are welcomed by the majority of other European countries - such as restricting the freedom to work across the EU of citizens from new member states (until their economies have caught up with the EU average). There is also broad agreement on cracking down on welfare tourism and limiting child benefits and out-of work benefits for migrants. The real problem is centred around in-work benefits. Referendum on the UK's future in the European Union The UK is to have a referendum by the end of 2017 on whether to remain a member of the European Union or to leave.

A law firm helping 45 former patients said Mr Cust is one of six people named as a referee on Mr Hay's CV. UHDB said Mr Cust is \"a consultant surgeon with an outstanding record\". An investigation into Mr Hay has been ongoing since 2019 after colleagues raised concerns, with the trust admitting at least eight of his patients had been harmed. Last week it was announced the trust would be writing to nearly 400 women treated by him to have their cases examined by an independent expert. UHDB said the expert leading the review works for another trust but Mr Cust will be meeting with the patients to record their experiences. The Local Democracy Reporting Service said Mr Hay's CV lists Mr Cust as one of six referees, with online records also showing they were colleagues at Royal Derby Hospital and the University of Nottingham. A 2013 surgery course hosted by the two organisations in Derby lists them as chairmen leading talks, with a training course at the same venue five years later also recording them as speakers leading discussions and as faculty at the hospital trust. Both Mr Cust and Mr Hay are retired. Karen Reynolds, a partner of law firm Freeths' clinical negligence team, said Mr Cust's previous employment at UHDB raised questions as to whether he \"is truly independent\". She also called for the publication of an interim report ahead of a planned report in 2022 to \"put the minds at rest of the women affected\". \"[It] is four years after concerns were first raised and two years after some of the patients were contacted,\" she said. \"This has been a very distressing time for all of them.\" The trust's chief executive Magnus Harrison said: \"Mr Cust is a consultant surgeon with an outstanding record and is highly-respected in his field of work. \"Mr Cust is not and has not been a close colleague of the consultant who is subject of the review.\" Follow BBC East Midlands on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram.

            "input": "By Brian MeechanBBC Wales business correspondent But bus companies also need to make a profit and in recent years that has proved a problem for some. In the last few months, three have gone out of business. But why? Buses are expensive to buy and to run and the Welsh companies tend to have profits of about 7%, which is below the returns suggested by the Competition Commission. A new coach can cost £250,000, while each bus on the road costs £135,000 a year to run. Staff costs, which are on average 60% of the cost of most of the firms, have been rising as has insurance. Fuel costs have been on the increase over many years although they fell recently. They are rising again now and expected to go higher as petrol is traded in dollars so the low value of the pound will make it more expensive. TIMELINE - THE LAST BUS August: Lewis Coaches of Ceredigion, employing 40 people, went into administration. The company had 30 coaches. Aberystwyth-Carmarthen-Cardiff bus service ended. July: GHA, based in Ruabon near Wrexham, went into administration. It employed 320 people and operated 230 vehicles on school and bus routes across north Wales, Cheshire and Shropshire. June: Silcox Coaches in Pembroke Dock ceased trading after 134 years, with 40 job losses. Other companies have fallen by the wayside in recent years. In 2013, Gwyn Williams of Tumble, based at the Derlwyn Garage, went bust while two years before that, Swansea-based holiday coach firm Diamond ceased trading. Professor Stuart Cole, a transport expert from the University of South Wales, has identified cash flow as a major problem for many bus firms. They may have contracts that can keep the business afloat but they cannot access the cash in time. He also identifies issues like companies expanding too fast and not tackling problems early enough as reasons some have been struggling. \"Persuading people to admit that there's a problem, especially a family business that's been going for decades, can be difficult,\" said Prof Cole. He added that the Welsh Government could help, through encouraging Finance Wales loans for example, if it was aware of problems early enough. Competition has also become tighter as council funding has been cut since they are major customers of bus companies including through school travel provisions. Prof Cole says some bigger bus companies had pulled back from traditional areas, but smaller, local firms did not have that option to move away from less profitable routes. \"There could also be a reluctance to reduce staff and let go of many loyal employees,\" he added. According to John Pockett, the Welsh director of the Confederation of Passenger Transport, ministers need to take some responsibility. \"Welsh Government funding has been cut. There's a lack of certainty. Things always happen at the last minute. You can't plan ahead.\" The Welsh Government said despite very challenging funding settlements, its funding to councils to subsidise bus and community transport had been maintained at £25m since 2013-14. \"A number of local authorities have cut their own budgets for service subsidy during the same period,\" said a spokesman. \"In addition to the Bus Service Support Grant, we also fund a growing network of popular longer distance TrawsCymru bus services across Wales which provide essential public transport links for rural communities.\" TrawsCymru carried a record two million passengers in 2015-16 and a new service providing hourly travel between Swansea, Neath, Yestradgynlais and Brecon, was starting soon. The T1 service linking Carmarthen, Lampeter and Aberystwyth had also seen \"particularly strong growth\" alongside the rural Bwcabus.",

He was on the third day of his holiday with his partner, Gillian, when he disappeared, prompting a major search involving specialists from Wales. \"It beggars belief he hasn't been found,\" said his daughter, Katy. On the morning of 17 June, Mr Tossell had gone to visit a monastery on Mount Skopos, near the village of Argassi, but failed to return to his hotel. Described as a \"fit man\", he swam three times a week and walked miles with his dogs. Local fire and rescue teams searched the mountain and volunteers from the Western Beacons Mountain Rescue team joined the efforts after £7,000 was raised to make the journey, along with family members. \"They just don't think he's on that mountain,\" said Ms Tossell. \"If he's fallen, he would have been found and he hasn't.

But 12 months after his disappearance, the police investigation has drawn a blank and Ms Tossell fears the worse. \"We are no further along than the day he went missing,\" she said. \"We, as a family, had to go to the restaurants and bars in Argassi to source the CCTV and find the image of him and, if the area was searched sooner, perhaps more clues could have been picked up.\" Police in Zante were approached for a response at the time of the disappearance. 'We just want to find him' \"We haven't given up hope of seeing dad alive again but there's a massive part of us that knows he's not coming back,\" said his daughter. \"That's why we are putting the appeal out today, asking people if they were in Argassi to really think back and think hard if you might have seen my dad. \"During this lockdown maybe you've got time to go back through your holiday photos and check if you can see him in the background. \"If anyone wants to come forward anonymously just to give us some information, we just want to find him and, if not alive, at least we can then lay him to rest and have closure.\"",

The secretary of state told MPs that once it is released, civil servants can decide how to spend the extra £50m earmarked for health and education.

The report also said new psychoactive substances (NPS) were \"undermining prisoner well-being\" and a fifth of inmates felt conditions were \"unsafe\". Chief Inspector of Prisons Peter Clarke said the findings were \"disappointing\". The report by Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Prisons followed an unannounced inspection of the jail - which houses 1,115 male prisoners - in June. While the prison had \"a similar variable picture\" to its last inspection in 2013, there was \"some deterioration\", Mr Clarke noted. An inspection in 2011 also found the use of force in some incidents at the jail was \"unjustified\".

He added that while \"some meaningful work was being done\" to deal with the \"serious destabilising\" issue of NPS, commonly known as legal highs, \"nearly two-thirds of prisoners thought it was easy to obtain drugs\". Risley \"was not a sufficiently respectful prison\", he said. He added accommodation standards \"varied greatly\" and there was a \"need for more hygienic conditions and improved provision of basic amenities\".

The think tank said the fall was welcome but \"limited and very late\". It said the average UK full-time worker on pay before tax of £28,000 would take 160 years to earn the same amount. Stefan Stern, director of the High Pay Centre, said: \"We have finally seen a fall in executive pay this year, in the context of political pressure and in the spotlight of hostile public opinion.\" However, he added it was \"so far, a one-off\". Mr Stern said large cuts in the salaries of some high-profile executives had contributed to the fall, skewing the results. The head of advertising giant WPP, Sir Martin Sorrell, took a £22m pay cut in 2016, as did Reckitt Benckiser chief executive Rakesh Kapoor, whose pay dropped by more than a third to £14.6m. \"There were as many rises as fallers and yes, those big number falls have hit the average,\" he added. The report said the pay ratio between FTSE 100 bosses and the average pay package of their employees had also fallen to 129:1 - meaning that for every £1 the average employee is paid, their chief executive gets £129. In 2015 the ratio was 148:1. Gender pay disparity The study also found that, \"in contrast to the generous pay packages awarded at the higher levels\", just over a quarter of top companies signed up to the voluntary living wage, which is higher than the minimum wage. The research, which was carried out with the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD), also showed there were just six women among the top 100 chief executives, and they were paid on average £2.6m last year. CIPD chief executive Peter Cheese said: \"Our analysis also shows a clear gender pay disparity at the top, with female CEOs receiving less than their male peers. \"Quite rightly this issue of fairness is increasingly being called out and this needs to be addressed at all levels of businesses.\" Edwin Morgan of the Institute of Directors said the gender pay gap was indicative of a whole array of problems regarding the promotion of women to senior levels. \"There's headhunters not putting enough women forward for the most senior jobs, there's not enough women in the pipeline right at the top, that's why they're under-represented as a whole. \"There's also unconscious bias. It is a big systemic problem and it is not just the pay issue. \"The government is trying to tackle this particular issue of women in executive positions through the Hampton-Alexander review, but it is something all businesses have to recognise. \"We have a big problem here right at the top of these biggest companies. \" The report said one explanation for the fall in top bosses' pay was that \"it has become hard for organisations to justify further growth in [chief executive] pay while the wage progression for the typical British worker has been so subdued\". Another was that politicians had become more interested in executive pay, with Theresa May criticising the \"growing gap between rewards for those at the top and those who were just about managing\". 'Not a threat' The report also questioned whether the government would now \"devote all its energy on Brexit\". \"Our concern is that if the government vacates this space [chief executive] remuneration will accelerate once more,\" it said. \"Therefore we want to see Theresa May stick to her guns and introduce a bill to reform executive pay before the year end.\" But whatever the government does, the report advises firms to adopt the use of pay ratios showing the difference in earnings between the chief executive and average employees. It said these \"should not be seen as a threat or punishment but rather as a mechanism to bring about greater fairness and transparency at work, and avoid the demotivating effects of unjustified wage gaps\". The employers' organisation, the CBI, said: \"Where pay does not match performance, business leaders can appear detached from society and not committed to fairness. \"Recent changes in executive pay growth show the vast majority of firms have taken this message on board.\"",

He had been investigating Argentina's worst terrorist attack - a bombing in 1994 that killed 85 people at a Jewish community centre. As investigators probe his death, we take a look at the key figures. Alberto Nisman Prosecutor Alberto Nisman, 51, had spent the last 10 years investigating the 1994 bombing of the Amia Jewish centre in Buenos Aires. Mr Nisman was selected to investigate the bombing by Nestor Kirchner, Argentina's former president and the late husband of current president, Cristina Fernandez. He was seen as a reinvigorating force and in 2006, he officially accused the Iranian government of directing the bombing. But Iran refused to hand over a number of suspects. In 2013, the Argentine government reached an agreement with Iran - they would jointly investigate the attack. Some critics felt this was a way of undermining Mr Nisman's investigation. Days before his death, the prosecutor accused President Fernandez and Foreign Minister Hector Timerman of being involved in a plot to cover up Iran's alleged role in the bombing. Mr Nisman's body was found by his mother in the bathroom of his home on 18 January. He had told family members that he was being threatened. \"I might come out of this dead,\" he told local media on Saturday. One of his last text messages was a picture of his desk covered in documents as he prepared for the hearing. There was no suicide note. His ex-wife, the judge Sandra Arroyo, said on 20 January that she did not believe that he had killed himself. Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner President Cristina Fernandez is the widow of former president Nestor Kirchner, who originally selected Mr Nisman to lead the investigation into the bombing. In his reports, Mr Nisman accused President Fernandez, 61, of taking part in secret negotiations with the Iranians to whitewash their alleged role in the attack. She denies the allegations but has said that she is \"convinced\" that Mr Nisman's death was not suicide. \"They used him alive and then they needed him dead,\" she said in an open letter first published on social media [in Spanish]. She did not explain who she thought had killed him but added that his death was \"sad and terrible\". Ms Fernandez also published screenshots of some of Mr Nisman's messages from his mobile phone. \"It's not going to be easy. On the contrary,\" he said. \"But sooner or later, the truth will come out - and I am very confident.\" President Fernandez also said that Mr Nisman had been provided with \"false information\". She tweeted that his accusation \"not only collapses, but becomes a real political and legal scandal.\" She added that Mr Nisman would probably never have known and that the \"true operation against the government\" was the death of Mr Nisman after his accusation against her and some of her officials. Antonio Stiusso The man knonw as Antonio Stiusso, 61, was director of operations at the Intelligence Secretariat (SI), Argentina's spy agency, until December 2014. His real name is almost the object of as much speculation as the extent and nature of his links to Mr Nisman. He is also known under his codename of \"Jaime\", and has gone under the names of Antonio Horacio Stiles, Aldo Stiles, and The Engineer. Many just call him \"spy chief\". There are no official photographs of Mr Stiusso. He was removed from his post by President Fernandez as part of a wider reshuffle of the leadership of the agency, also known as SIDE. Mr Stiusso had been an influential figure in the intelligence services since the 1970s. In 2004, former Justice Minister Gustavo Beliz said of Mr Stiusso: \"Everyone is afraid of him, because they say he is very dangerous and can have you killed.\" Mr Stiusso was helping Mr Nisman with his investigation into the 1994 Amia bombing and, according to Mr Nisman, had been very forthcoming with information. But according to President Fernandez, Mr Stiusso withheld key facts from Mr Nisman while feeding him misleading information. She alleged that Mr Stiusso had failed to inform Mr Nisman that two of his key witnesses were not intelligence agents as Mr Nisman had assumed. Cabinet Chief Anibal Fernandez also pointed the finger at Mr Stiusso, suggesting he was behind many of the accusations made against the government in Mr Nisman's report. Mr Fernandez suggested Mr Stiusso was seeking revenge for his removal from the intelligence services, saying the allegations were like \"the flailing of a drowning man\". Mr Stiusso has not responded to any of the allegations. Hector Timerman Argentina's Minister of Foreign Relations, Hector Timerman, was also accused by Mr Nisman of being part of the cover-up of Iran's alleged role in the Amia bombing. Mr Timerman, who is Jewish, also emphatically denies the allegations. On Monday in New York, he said that he believed that the death of Mr Nisman would be resolved because of Argentina's record in matters of human rights. He told the local press that: \"The death of a young person, in that way, diminishes us all as human beings.\" He added that he believed that the investigation into Mr Nisman's allegations would go ahead and that he hoped that those involved would continue their work. Viviana Fein Ms Fein is the prosecutor investigating Mr Nisman's death. On Monday, she said that there had been \"no intervention\" from others in his death but that the investigation was ongoing and that she could not rule out that his suicide had been \"induced\". She said that the bullet that killed Mr Nisman had come from the gun found lying next to him. Ms Fein told reporters that the apartment's door had been locked from the inside and that the key was in the lock. On 22 January, she revealed that a test failed to detect any gunshot residue on Mr Nisman's hands. But she added that the negative result could be due to the small calibre of the gun. She said that investigators would be test firing the gun to see how much, if any, residue was deposited. Footprints and fingerprints found in the corridor that links Mr Nisman's apartment to that of a neighbour are also being tested.",

            "input": "Its subsidiary, Tesco Stores Ltd, reached what's known as a deferred prosecution agreement with the Serious Fraud Office after a two-year probe. Tesco said there was \"regret\" over the issues of 2014 and said it has been working hard to \"restore trust\". The firm also agreed with the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) to spend £85m on compensating investors. The money will go to those who bought shares or bonds between 29 August and 19 September in 2014. Investors misled Those investors would have had misleading information from a trading statement on 29 August, which gave a rosier assessment of its performance than was actually the case. Tesco issued a corrected statement before the markets opened on Monday 22 September, which estimated it had overstated profits by about £250m. The revelation sent the retailer's share price plunging and sparked two internal inquiries. Even that was not the full story, the overstatement was subsequently revised up to £326m. 'Regret' The compensation order is a first for the FCA, although it has not imposed its own penalty, and Tesco has accepted the regulator's finding of \"market abuse\". The SFO said Tesco had co-operated with the investigation and had undergone an \"extensive\" period of change. Tesco's current chief executive, Dave Lewis, said: \"Over the last two-and-a-half years, we have fully co-operated with this investigation into historic accounting practices, while at the same time fundamentally transforming our business. \"We sincerely regret the issues which occurred in 2014 and we are committed to doing everything we can to continue to restore trust in our business and brand.\" Analysis, Simon Jack, business editor A Deferred Prosecution Agreement (DPA) is a fairly new way (introduced in February 2014) of punishing a company for criminal behaviour without the collateral damage of a conviction. DPAs may be fairly new, but they are instruments the SFO is warming to. Just last month it announced a DPA with Rolls-Royce which saw the company pay a UK fine of £500m. In that case, the judge agreed that a criminal conviction for the company could disbar it from securing contracts - particularly in the US - which in turn could threaten the jobs of thousands of UK workers. A DPA also avoids lengthy and costly trials and puts the offending company on probation to ensure full co-operation in the future. It also does NOT mean that individuals escape scot free while shareholders pay the price for their conduct. Three former executives from Tesco face criminal proceedings. The SFO also quizzed the former chief executive Phil Clarke, before dropping any further action against him. Read more from Simon here: The DPA with Tesco Stores still needs approval by the High Court, which is scheduled to make its decision on 10 April. This potential DPA agreement only covers Tesco Stores and does not address whether liability of any sort applies to the larger international group Tesco plc or any of its employees. To pay for the penalty, compensation scheme and related costs Tesco will charge £235m to its results for the 2016-17 financial year, which are due to be published on 12 April. Tesco shares were little moved on Tuesday. Laith Khalaf, senior analyst, at Hargreaves Lansdown stockbrokers, said the accounting error uncovered was \"exceptionally rare\" in the UK stock market. \"This is a big slap on the wrist for Tesco, reflecting the seriousness of the offence and its impact on the share price in 2014,\" he said. \"Dave Lewis underwent a baptism of fire when he took over as CEO in 2014, just as the accounting scandal struck. He and the supermarket will now be hoping to draw a line under the matter, and concentrate on nurturing Tesco's nascent recovery. Analysis, Ian Pollock, personal finance reporter The Tesco scandal contains a real novelty. It is a compensation scheme for about 10,000 professional and personal investors. They bought shares or bonds at artificially inflated values after the supermarket group put out its misleading trading statement on 29 August 2014. They suffered a loss if they were still holding those investments, when their values fell, after a correction from the company was issued a few weeks later on 22 September. To qualify, you have to be a so-called \"net purchaser\" - someone who during that period bought more shares or bonds than they sold. The compensation is 24.5p per share, plus interest. Various values, plus interest, are on offer to bond holders. The compensation scheme will be run by the accountancy firm KPMG, and should start before the end of August this year. KPMG will try to contact all eligible claimants. If you are one of them you will need to provide evidence of your purchases and any sales. You will have six months to lodge a claim. Details are available from Tesco.",

Mr Sawiris added that he would like to see a new president, but praised Hosni Mubarak for not fleeing the country. He said that would have caused turmoil. Investment insurance \"Politicians now understand that unless they provide the people of Egypt with the real democratic needs they have, with the real right to live and work, and get a decent job, they will not be allowed to stay,\" said Mr Sawiris, speaking from Egyptian Red Sea resort of El Gouna.

He also denied that corruption was a widespread problem in the country, saying that \"Egypt, with all respect, is the least corrupt country in the Middle East\". Mr Sawiris said that while there was corruption in Egypt, it was mainly to be found within the government bureaucracy.

Chancellor Rishi Sunak said the \"unprecedented\" measures were part of plans to protect people's jobs. Welsh Economy Minister Ken Skates welcomed them, having earlier warned firms had \"just hours\" to survive. It is understood that the wage subsidy, backdated to the start of March, will apply to firms where bosses have already had to lay off workers due to the outbreak, as long they are brought back into the workforce and instead granted a leave of absence. The chancellor said the move would mean workers should be able to keep their jobs, even if their employer could not afford to pay them. Reacting to the decision, Mr Skates said: \"Party political differences are suspended and I'm working closely with my counterparts on further support for business. \"It has to deliver at maximum pace - but this announcement today will stop premature decisions being made by business and offer space for them to plan for hibernation through the coming weeks.\" Earlier at a Welsh Government news conference on Friday, Mr Skates said: \"Many businesses have just hours, not days, to survive and they cannot wait until next week.\" Mr Skates said the Business Wales support line had received just three calls from companies with concerns about coronavirus last Friday, but that number had risen to 1,300 on Monday and was \"rising all the time\". But he also urged industry and business leaders to do \"as much as they can\" to help their workforce. Mr Skates said: \"It's absolutely essential that business leaders do all they can to support their employees, to pay as much as they are able to, to give guidance and support as regularly as possible to communicate positively with their employees.\" It is expected that up to a fifth of the workforce could be off work at the peak of the outbreak. The hospitality, leisure and tourism sectors as well as the creative industries are expected to be particularly badly affected. Cafes, pubs and restaurants must close from Friday night - except for take-away food - to tackle coronavirus, UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has said. All the UK's nightclubs, theatres, cinemas, gyms and leisure centres have also been told to close \"as soon as they reasonably can\". The Welsh Government has announced a package of £1.4bn to support businesses and is working on a fund to support businesses and the self-employed. 'Fight together' Mr Skates said it was important to celebrate those business leaders who help their communities. \"I am hearing on an hourly basis about businesses that are taking extraordinary actions, not just to support their employees, but to support their communities,\" he said. He issued a message of support to firms worried about their survival. “If you had a good business in 2019, you will have a good business in 2021. If you had a good job in 2019, you will have a good job in 2021,\" Mr Skates said. \"Here in 2020 we have a battle we must all fight together.\"",

Much mockery was made in the foreign press when the proposal was first mooted, with images of hawk-eyed work inspectors snooping on the industrious. But the French government says the problem of permanent connection is universal and growing - and that intervention is needed. \"All the studies show there is far more work-related stress today than there used to be, and that the stress is constant,\" Socialist MP Benoit Hamon tells me. \"Employees physically leave the office, but they do not leave their work. They remain attached by a kind of electronic leash - like a dog. The texts, the messages, the emails - they colonise the life of the individual to the point where he or she eventually breaks down.\" The measure is part of a labour law - named after Labour Minister Maryam El Khomri - many of whose other provisions have sparked weeks of protests in France. The \"disconnection\" clause is about the only part on which there is consensus. Few - in France or elsewhere - would disagree that work-home encroachment is a troubling by-product of the digital revolution. \"At home the workspace can be the kitchen or the bathroom or the bedroom. We shift from a work email to a personal WhatsApp to a Facebook picture to a professional text - all on the same tool,\" says Linh Le, a partner at Elia management consultants in Paris. \"You're at home but you're not at home, and that poses a real threat to relationships,\" she says. Le says the businesses she advises are increasingly aware of the dangers to staff. The most extreme threat is so-called burnout which she describes as \"physical, psychological and emotional distress caused by a total inability to rest\". But apart from wishing to spare their suffering, companies also need employees to be creative. And this is less likely, says Le, without regular downtime. She applauds a US insurance company that has given workers sleep monitors and pays them a bonus if they get 20 consecutive nights of good sleep. \"It shows how good companies recognise the importance of not harassing workers at home. \"Here in France we speak of the two types of time, as defined by the Greeks: chronos and keiros. Chronos is regular, divisible time. Keiros is unconscious time… creative time. \"Keiros is essential for productive thinking, and good employers know they need to protect it.\" But will the law work? Many have doubts. At PriceMinister - an online marketplace run from central Paris - chief executive Olivier Mathiot has instituted \"no-email Fridays\", to encourage employees to resort less to digital messaging. Sales manager Tiphanie Schmitt says this idea is fine - it helps to get people to talk - but she would resist any government interference in the way she does her job. \"I do sales. I like doing sales. It means I use email late into the evening, and at the weekend. I don't want my company preventing me from using my mail box just because of some law,\" she says. Similar views can be heard expressed at the Bowler pub near the Champs-Elysees, a hang-out for financial and computer workers. \"I think [the right to disconnect] is wonderful for improving the human condition but totally inapplicable,\" says software writer Gregory. \"In my company we compete with Indian, Chinese, American developers. We need to talk to people around the world late into the night. Our competitors don't have the same restrictions. \"If we obeyed this law we would just be shooting ourselves in the foot.\" Olivier Mathiot of PriceMinister says the issue should be addressed by education rather than legislation. \"In France we are champions at passing laws, but they are not always very helpful when what we need is greater flexibility in the workplace,\" he says. And according to Linh Le at Elia Consulting, the law will be very quickly made irrelevant. \"In a few years' time emails will have ceased to exist,\" she predicts. \"We'll have moved on to something else.\" Even cheerleaders such as the MP Benoit Hamon admit that the impact of the law will only go so far - as presently drafted there is no penalty for violating it. Companies are expected to comply voluntarily. But almost everyone in France agrees that the subject of communications overload is one that needs to be on every employer's agenda.

            "input": "By Daniel Wainwright & Kate ScotterBBC News In its analysis of the figures, the Office of National Statistics (ONS) puts the disparity down to age. It cited the fact that the average age in London in 2016 was just under 35, while in the east of England - a region which spans Cambridgeshire, Norfolk, Suffolk, Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex - it was almost 42. The conclusion one might draw is that younger people are more likely to come out, and therefore areas with more young people are more likely to have a higher proportion of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) residents. But Essex Pride organiser Garry Ormes believes it's more to do with geography. He said the reason for the region's small proportion of lesbian, gay and bisexual people is because it is \"so close to London\" - where many choose to move. \"There's that great appeal of London being the place to be,\" he said. \"It's much more of a thriving, multicultural community.\" The 43-year-old, who came out as gay at 14, used to run Smiths gay bar in Chelmsford. It closed two years ago, in part due to a rise of social media and a reduced need for venues catering specifically for gay people, he said. \"Before Facebook, the bar was really busy as that's where people used to go to socialise and meet people. But once social media took off, we saw a decline. \"Society is more accepting of the LGBT community now and there is less need for segregated gay pubs. \"People don't feel they need to go somewhere separate.\" Human rights campaigner Peter Tatchell believes LGBT people tend to feel more comfortable being open about their sexuality in larger cities. \"[They] tend to migrate to cities where there are more LGBT people and venues,\" he said. \"Cities tend to be younger, more diverse and more liberal and these are the main reasons why larger cities will have a higher proportion of identified LGBT people. \"The fact that fewer LGBT people are coming out away from large cities is one of the reasons why Pride celebrations are increasingly being organised in small towns and rural areas.\" Pride events in the east of England certainly draw crowds. Essex Pride attracted 5,000 people over the summer, while Norwich Pride has hosted an annual LGBT celebration since 2009. Colchester welcomed its first Pride event in August, which more than 2,600 people attended. Why are London's gay bars disappearing? In pictures: Pride in London through the years Gender identity: What do legal changes have to do with women's rights? Donna Whitbread, who is transgender, said events like Norwich Pride had been a positive step for the LGBT community. The 31-year-old said: \"I'm not sure if everyone is out and proud. \"But there seems to be a lot of LGBT here, there seems to be a huge transgender community. \"In the last year or so, I've really seen a difference with more male couples or female couples holding hands in the street. \"It's wonderful to see and I think Norwich Pride has really helped with that. It helps people feel safe and be themselves in the street.\" The ONS reported a \"statistically significant\" rise in the proportion of people identifying as lesbian, gay or bisexual, equating to about one in 25 young people. But Mr Tatchell warns the statistics only reflect what the 320,000 people surveyed were prepared to say. Of those who responded, 4.6% of people fell into the \"other\", \"don't know\" or \"refuse\" boxes, compared with 2% who said they were lesbian, gay or bisexual. \"The figures are a significant underestimate and that's reflected by the numbers who answered either \"other\" or refused to say,\" he added. The charity and campaign group Stonewall is reluctant to draw conclusions from the ONS figures but said it had long been the case that people feel more comfortable being out in a big city than they do in a smaller community. \"We're pleased to see more and more people feeling confident to declare their sexual orientation and gender in these exercises,\" a spokesman said.",

The protests also saw the middle-ground Alliance Party targeted, including a death threat against East Belfast MP Naomi Long and councillors' homes attacked in Bangor and Newtownards. How did the protests start? On Monday 3 December, 2012, Belfast City Council voted to fly the union flag at city hall only on designated days. Nationalists at Belfast City Council had wanted the union flag taken down altogether, but in the end voted on a compromise from the Alliance Party that it would fly on designated days. Unionists said they considered the changes to be an attack on their cultural identity. A loyalist protest outside the building erupted into violence minutes after the motion was passed. Disorder also broke out in east Belfast. Fifteen police officers were injured, as well as a press photographer and two security guards. Police were criticised by Sinn Féin for not anticipating the violence. Council staff removed the flag at 07:00 GMT on Tuesday. It is now only flown on 18 designated days. Why is the issue important to unionists? Parades and flags are important symbols to loyalists, who describe them as expressions of their culture. The decision at Belfast City Hall followed a difficult, but not explosive, marching season during which there were numerous arguments and disturbances over specific parades. Many loyalists claimed that some nationalists were trying to erase their identity from Northern Ireland. The unionists argued that the flag had flown for decades above Belfast City Hall and the other parties should have left it alone. Were loyalist paramilitaries involved? Former Police Service of Northern Ireland chief constable Matt Baggott told a press conference on 7 January 2013, after four successive nights of disorder in east Belfast: \"I am concerned that senior members of the UVF in east Belfast - as individuals - have been increasingly orchestrating some of this violence. \"That is utterly unacceptable and is being done for their own selfish motives. There is no excuse whatsoever for violence, as we've said, and we will be investigating that and taking the appropriate action.\" Previously, assistant chief constable Will Kerr had said members of both the Ulster Defence Association (UDA) and Ulster Volunteer Force (UVF) had been involved in violence around flag protests and that \"we're now seeing senior members actively involved in orchestrating the violence.\" How did the protests spread? In the weeks before the city hall vote, up to 40,000 leaflets criticising Alliance were distributed in a joint operation carried out by Democratic Unionist Party and Ulster Unionist Party activists. Alliance accused the unionists of a blatant attempt to ramp up tensions over the union flag issue. Unionists insisted their defence of the flag was a matter of principle and they wanted peaceful, constructive protests. However, with the involvement of loyalist elements, and others using social media, the protests took on a life of their own, spreading well beyond central Belfast. Protests followed in towns such as Carrickfergus, Coleraine and Ballymena. Roads were also blocked in parts of Northern Ireland. The Alliance Party was the target of threats and violence. East Belfast MP Naomi Long was threatened as was councillor Laura McNamee. An Alliance Party office was destroyed in Carrickfergus and councillors' homes attacked in Bangor and Carrickfergus. Why was the Alliance Party a target of loyalist wrath? Alliance holds the balance of power on Belfast City Council, and could have voted down the original motion to remove the flag on all days. Instead it came up with a compromise, suggesting that the union flag should be flown only on designated days. Many of the party's offices are in unionist and loyalist areas and towns, like Carrickfergus and Bangor and so are an easier target than those of other parties, although two Sinn Féin representatives were also threatened.",

Dr Buurma, a chemistry lecturer, said staff members were \"frustrated\" that such assessments had not already been published. \"I don't expect there to be a benefit to Brexit but even if that were the case then we need to know that information,\" he said. The Dutch-born academic added that a number of EU nationals \"don't feel very supported by the university\" even though \"some of us may be seriously affected by what's going to happen\".

We have around 600 staff from non-UK EU countries. \"This diversity fosters creativity and innovation and is an important part of our culture. This will not change because of Brexit.\" In October 2017, Welsh Conservative MP for Monmouth David TC Davies left a Cardiff University seminar in Westminster having raised concerns about universities \"belly-aching over Brexit\".

The investigation found cases of missed visits, food left out of reach, medication not given and people left in soiled beds. BBC News website readers have shared their experiences of the home care system. John, Suffolk I am full time sole carer for my wife who has advanced MS. When we had to call in carers it was useless. She received home care when I was admitted to hospital. The carers made twice daily visits for 20 minutes. She was left sitting and sleeping on a sofa for three days and nights because they refused to transfer her to her wheelchair. This meant no washing, no toileting and if it hadn't been for neighbours no food. On the third day a male carer arrived who was ex-merchant navy and he finally lifted her off the sofa and helped her dress. When I was there with the carers they told me to sit and relax. But then constantly came asking me to lift my wife because they refused to lift her. They were useless so I finally told them to leave. I have had to cancel carers on other occasions because they barely could speak English and didn't seem to have a clue as how to do their job. These events occurred BEFORE the so-called economic crisis and have been endemic in the system for many years. Needless to say I'm not impressed. We haven't complained about any of the carers we've had as we believe it will only lead to us receiving worse treatment by the staff in the future. We know of people who have complained and have received worse care in response. I'm an ex-nurse and I currently do voluntary work at the local hospice. The volunteers' care and compassion in the hospice puts the home care provision to shame. If it can be done properly in a volunteer hospice it can be done properly in home care. Alan Mackinnon, Hull I am 72-years-old and have serious chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). I need care to clean my home, shop and also to bathe. The quality of care from registered agencies has left much to be desired and I have been forced to arrange my own care and fund it myself as a result. I have had quite a bit of contact with care companies and carers and it is my opinion that care companies offer very little training and do not supervise their staff. They pay as little as they can get away with and work their staff like slaves - it's unsurprising that this leads to abuses, if only due to the workers' frustration with their working conditions. I have also heard from various carers that they don't get paid for travelling time so they are always having to rush off. The people running the companies just want to make as much money as possible. Now I pay a friend privately to help me clean the flat and I pay a local chap to bring me one meal per day. I'm worried about the future as I get older and more disabled. The system needs a shake-up now. Fiona Pimm, Bristol I have worked in home care for 14 years and I can assure you that not all home care companies are like this. I now work for a small home care company and we do our utmost to make sure the times allocated to those who need care is spent with them. We do not have carers travelling from one side of town to the other - where possible we are kept in one area so we have as much time as possible with the client. Carers are spot checked on a regular basis and we have a close working relationship with family members. We have a very experienced and fully trained team of staff who are very caring and put 100% into their job role. I believe these problems that you and others are highlighting are a result of big companies taking on care packages whether or not they have the capacity to deal with them, but they do it anyway because they are only interested in making money. As a result visits are over lapped, carers are forced to travel from one side of town to the other, there are unreliable staff who constantly go off sick due to being overworked, and it's the client who suffers as a result. There are companies out there who you can really trust but finding them is a problem. There should be a proper recommendation programme in place to help people do this. Jan McCarthy, Sunderland I am a full-time carer for my mum, who has lived with me for two years. We also have a carer who comes in three times a week. She is lovely, we have no problems with her. But these carers have to rush from job to job and are given no travelling time. Our carer could be scheduled for an 08:15 visit to us for 45 minutes and then given a job at 9 at another person's house. This person may live a 15-minute walk away. The carer has to decide whether she should leave our visit or turn up late for the next person. The majority of carers seem to be paid the minimum wage and it is seen as an unskilled job, similar to being a cleaner. There is no real financial encouragement for family members to care for elderly relatives either. As a parent you are given child tax credit, but someone like myself, who has given up full-time employment to look after my parent, is given £55 a week to do so. If my mother was in care it would cost the government at least £450 per week. Cutting out these private companies and taking care back to the councils would halve the care bill in one fell swoop. Instead of allowing companies to profit from elderly care, allow better restriction and checking of quality of care given.",

ScotRail has refused to comment on reports that the station could be closed completely from Sunday. The company has apologised to customers and detailed the changes to services on its website. Speaking earlier on the BBC's John Beattie radio programme, Angus Thom, ScotRail's chief operating officer said: \"We are not able to access the full length of all the platforms at Ayr station. \"This means that we can't get the length of trains that we usually operate, which are as long as seven carriages, into the station. \"The maximum length of train we can operate from the station is four carriages long.\" Mr Thom also advised visitors to the Scottish International Airshow this weekend to seek alternative transport. He said trains would be running over the two days, Saturday and Sunday, but at a reduced capacity. \"We will put in as many trains as we can into Ayr station, but what I would encourage people to do is look at other forms of transport where they can,\" he said. \"Our plans for Ayr airshow will be publicised on our site.

An exclusion zone was set up around the building in the summer. The B-listed hotel, which dates to 1885, was built by the Glasgow and South-Western Railway Company, according to the Buildings at Risk Register for Scotland. The council said it was working closely with Network Rail and ScotRail as work progresses to address the dangers presented by the hotel. Eileen Howat, chief executive of South Ayrshire Council, said: \"Unfortunately, we're having to take urgent action to extend the exclusion zone in place at the station after contractors identified crumbling and exposed roof areas that present a significant and immediate danger to people and places around the station. \"This is not action that anyone is taking lightly, but is wholly designed to keep people safe, and not put them at risk as a result of the failure of the private owner of the building to address the safety concerns we have highlighted time and time again. \"Network Rail and ScotRail have been fully involved in the discussions about this and - as a result - a reduced service will be operating between Glasgow Central and Ayr, supported by rail replacement buses. \"Our priority right now is to continue to work with Network Rail and ScotRail to keep their passengers, staff and the public safe, before continuing discussions regarding the next steps that need to be taken to address the dangers of the Station Hotel building.\"",

There have also been disturbances at Warren Hill in Woodbridge, Suffolk, and all 138 inmates may have to be moved because a set of keys has been stolen. The overnight incidents are not believed to be linked. The Ministry Of Justice (MOJ) said a fight broke out at Moorland at 1900 GMT on Tuesday and 42 inmates refused to return to their cells.

There is a new definition of economic abuse - if people are denied access to jobs or money, or forced to take loans. Prime Minister Theresa May said the bill could \"completely transform the way we tackle domestic abuse\". Proposed Domestic Abuse Protection Orders (DAPOs) would allow police and courts to intervene earlier where abuse is suspected. The orders would allow courts to electronically monitor suspects' whereabouts before they have been found guilty of - or even committed - a crime. DAPOs would bring together elements from existing protective orders, while giving courts the power to set a wider range of restrictions and for longer periods than the current 28 days. Other measures being considered include: It is estimated that almost two million adults in England and Wales have been victims of domestic abuse in the past year while 95 women and men were killed by current or former partners in 2016-17. Home Secretary Amber Rudd said: \"It is appalling that in 21st-Century Britain, nearly two million people every year - the majority of them women - suffer abuse at the hands of those closest to them.\" Speaking to Radio 4's Today programme Ms Rudd said the new definition of economic abuse would help prosecute perpetrators of domestic violence, who raid their victims' bank accounts or force them to take out loans. She added that judges prescribing \"early intervention initiatives\" such as alcohol treatment programmes for abusers could stop \"behaviour early on\". On International Women's Day she said: \"If we want to be really ambitious about equality, ambitious about protecting women, this is exactly the sort of change we need to take head on.\" Euleen Hope suffered physical and emotional abuse from her partner for more than a decade. She said she required hospital treatment more than a dozen times and would grow her fringe to cover the black eyes. \"He already said to me he'll say when it's over, and then he told me he'd organise to have someone throw acid in my face [if I left].\" Her former partner was eventually jailed in 2015 for GBH and assault after her sister got in contact with the police. Women's Aid chief executive Katie Ghose welcomed \"the spotlight and recognition\" of economic abuse. She said domestic abuse was about \"power and control\" She added: \"It can take all forms, it can be everything from taking charge of someone's wages, restricting their movements, right through to committing benefit fraud in their name.\" 'Radical change' Ms Ghose said financial control can sometimes be a precursor to physical and sexual violence. But she cautioned the \"ambition will be undermined if there is not a long-term, sustainable funding plan for refuges in place\". Suzanne Jacob, chief executive of domestic abuse charity SafeLives, said: \"We welcome the focus on the urgent need to hold perpetrators to account and to prioritise the needs and safety of women and girls. \"The time for piecemeal sticking plasters is over, we need radical change.\" The consultation period for the draft bill will run until 31 May.",

The sanctions were introduced as a coordinated effort by the European Union, UK, US and Canada. China responded with its own sanctions on European officials. It has denied the allegations of abuse, claiming the camps are \"re-education\" facilities used to combat terrorism. But UK Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab said the treatment of Uighurs amounted to \"appalling violations of the most basic human rights\". The EU has not imposed new sanctions on China over human rights abuses since the 1989 Tiananmen Square crackdown, when troops in Beijing opened fire on pro-democracy protesters. What do we know about the sanctions? The sanctions, including travel bans and asset freezes, target senior officials in Xinjiang who have been accused of serious human rights violations against Uighur Muslims. Those targeted have been named as: Mr Raab called the abuse of Uighur Muslims in Xinjiang \"one of the worst human rights crises of our time\". \"I think it's clear that by acting with our partners - 30 of us in total - we are sending the clearest message to the Chinese government, that the international community will not turn a blind eye to such serious and systematic violations of basic human rights and that we will act in concert to hold those responsible to account,\" he told fellow parliamentarians. In a statement, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said China was committing \"genocide and crimes against humanity\". The US said it sanctioned Wang Junzheng and Chen Mingguo for their connection to \"arbitrary detention and severe physical abuse, among other serious human rights abuses\". Canada's foreign ministry said: \"Mounting evidence points to systemic, state-led human rights violations by Chinese authorities.\" The sanctions came amid increasing international scrutiny over China's treatment of Uighurs. What is China accused of? More than a million Uighurs and other minorities are estimated to have been detained in camps in Xinjiang. Xinjiang lies in the north-west of China and is the country's biggest region. Like Tibet, it is autonomous, meaning - in theory - it has some powers of self-governance. But in practice, both face major restrictions by the central government. Uighurs living in the region speak their own language, similar to Turkish, and see themselves as culturally and ethnically close to Central Asian nations. The Chinese government has been accused of carrying out forced sterilisations on Uighur women and separating children from their families. A BBC investigation published in February contained first-hand testimony of systematic rape, sexual abuse and torture of detainees. One woman testified that women were removed from their cells \"every night\" and raped by one or more masked Chinese men. A former guard at one of the camps, who spoke on condition of anonymity, described torture and food deprivation of inmates. China has banned BBC World News television over coverage of the Uighur issue and coronavirus. The country initially denied the existence of the camps, before defending them as a necessary measure against terrorism. It has denied allegations of human rights abuses. How has China responded to the sanctions? China on Monday said the sanctions - initially announced by the EU - were \"based on nothing but lies and disinformation\". It said it would sanction 10 people and four entities in Europe \"that severely harm China's sovereignty and interests and maliciously spread lies and disinformation\" in response. Those affected by China's sanctions are barred from entering the country or doing business with it. German politician Reinhard Butikofer, who chairs the European Parliament's delegation to China, was among the most high profile officials on China's list. Adrian Zenz, a leading expert on China's policies in Xinjiang, and Swedish scholar Bjorn Jerden were also targeted. Mr Zenz has reported extensively on alleged abuses in Xinjiang. His report last year on the forced sterilisation of Uighurs prompted international calls for the United Nations to investigate. State media has called him an \"infamous anti-China\" figure, and accused him of spreading lies. Dutch lawmaker Sjoerd Sjoerdsma, who was put on China's sanctions list, said the retaliatory measures \"prove that China is sensitive to pressure.\" \"Let this be an encouragement to all my European colleagues: Speak out,\" he wrote on Twitter.

            "input": "While incumbent Prime Minister Najib Razak looks likely to secure another term, he is facing a strong challenge from his long-time ally, former prime minister Mahathir Mohamad, who has made a surprise return to politics at the age of 92. Here's what you need to know. Who runs Malaysia at the moment? Malaysian politics has been dominated since independence in 1957 by the Barisan Nasional (BN) coalition and its major party, the United Malays National Organisation (UMNO). Najib Razak won a second term as prime minister in 2013 but with a weakened majority in the face of the strongest opposition ever. Opponents alleged electoral fraud at the time and critics have also repeatedly accused his administration of gerrymandering. He faces international allegations of rampant corruption in relation to the management of state investment fund 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB). Who is running against him? Mr Najib's main rival is former Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad who is running again for office at the age of 92. Dr Mahathir had stepped down in 2003 after two decades in power. While his tenure is credited with transforming Malaysia into an Asian economic tiger, Dr Mahathir also took a tough stand against those who opposed him or threatened his power. Formerly Mr Najib's mentor and ally, he had grown vocally opposed to his leadership in recent years. And in a further twist, Dr Mahathir has said if he is elected, he will aim to hand over power to someone else within two years. That person could be his own former rival, jailed opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim. Anwar, Dr Mahathir's deputy and heir apparent in the 1990s, was sacked in 1998 over political differences, and later jailed on sodomy and corruption charges, which he has always denied. Dr Mahathir has said he will seek a pardon for Anwar, enabling him to run for election and potentially, for the top job. Will corruption scandals sway voters? 1MDB was initially set up as a sovereign wealth fund by Mr Najib. It was meant to boost the national economy through strategic investments. Yet in 2015 it started missing payments, which unleashed a torrent of allegations of embezzlement and money-laundering. Some $700m (£517m) from the fund allegedly went to Mr Najib's personal bank accounts. 1MDB and Mr Najib deny any misconduct. An investigation by the attorney-general has cleared him of any wrongdoing but failed to convince his critics. Several countries are investigating transactions relating to 1MDB, and several institutions and individuals have been sanctioned over related transactions. But while the opposition campaign has focused a lot on the 1MDB scandal, the issue has consistently failed to rile Malaysians. Voters are primarily concerned about day-to-day issues. The cost of living - housing, food, transport and so on - has risen under Mr Najib's tenure and inflation reached an eight-year high in 2017. Will the elections be free and fair? Activists say no. Election reform group Bersih 2.0 - which has organised large-scale protests in the past calling for political transparency - has accused the Election Commission of electoral fraud. It cites 10 \"serious crimes\", including alleged failure to remove dead people from the electoral roll, irregularities in postal voting, a failure to take action against corruption allegations and allowing the bare minimum time between parliament being dissolved and voting taking place. The biggest concern, however, has been the allegations of rampant gerrymandering. Activists and the opposition say the recently redrawn election boundaries have ensured constituencies are packed full of Muslim Malays, a demographic which tends to back the government. The government has insisted the election will be free and fair. Mr Najib told parliament the Election Commission acts \"for the good of all, for the sake of people and country\". Opposition politicians and activists also fear that a controversial fake news law is being used to silence critics. At the beginning of May, authorities began investigating Dr Mahathir under the law over his claim that his plane had been tampered with. Who is going to win? Voters will elect 222 members of parliament as well as state assembly members in 12 of the 13 states. Mr Najib is the outright favourite. He and the BN traditionally enjoy the support of Malay Muslims, about 60% of the population. He has said a win for any other party would be \"a nightmare\" for ethnic Malays. The opposition has traditionally relied on ethnic Chinese, Indian and other minority groups. Malaysia has a first-past-the-post system - the party that wins the most seats takes office. So even if Mr Najib wins, his party could lose seats, reducing his political clout and potentially putting his position as leader in question. The only thing that gives the opposition a chance is the fact that the Malay vote is likely to be split between the governing, opposition and Islamist coalitions as never before. A defeat for Mr Najib - though seen as unlikely - would lay political powers for the very first time into the hands of the opposition, setting the country into unchartered waters.

Chair Graham Allen said: \"Now is the chance to to discuss devolution. \"If it's good enough for Scotland it's good enough for England, Wales and Northern Ireland.\" Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg said it was inevitable that greater devolution in England, Wales and Northern Ireland would follow if greater powers were handed to the Scottish Parliament if Scotland votes no to independence. Speaking to the Political and Constitutional Reform Committee, chaired by Mr Allen, Mr Clegg predicted that the next Parliament would be \"of huge constitutional significance\". He told the MPs: \"I don't think anyone should imagine that we can embark upon a new chapter of very significant devolution of further powers to Scotland without having a wider debate about how we decentralise power more generally across the United Kingdom.\" 'Federal ' Mr Clegg predicted a \"much wider re-wiring of the governance and constitutional arrangements\" across the UK, particularly in England. He said there were already plans for more devolution in Wales and Northern Ireland, but \"the big missing bit of that jigsaw is to explore how we can decentralise the British state within England\". He rejected Mr Allen's calls for the three main party leaders to appear together in public, standing shoulder-to-shoulder on the devolution of power to the English regions, Wales and Northern Ireland, saying it was important not to distract from the Scottish referendum debate at this stage. But he said \"change is on its way\" and the coalition had already devolved more power to English cities, by handing more control over how money raised by business rates is spent. The debate comes amid mounting concern about the constitutional implications for the rest of the UK over the hand-over of additional fiscal and welfare powers to Scotland. There have been long-standing calls for more powers for English MPs to decide England only issues. Now, however, there are demands for the English regions to have similar powers to those being considered in Scotland. Mr Allen, Labour MP for Nottingham, said: \"We want the Westminster Parliament to be a federal parliament and push the powers down to the nations and localities in the rest of the union. \"After all, why should Whitehall tell Nottingham how many times a fortnight it should empty its waste bins?\" 'No collective voice?' Arguing that a chunk of national income tax already goes directly to the Scottish and Welsh executives, Mr Allen said: \"I see no reason why the balance of that shouldn't go to England so that I, in Nottingham, can be really clear about how much money is coming to my locality.\" \"We have got to apply devolution to all the nations of the union if we're to be credible.... devolution isn't just for Scotland. \"This week I'd like to see Miliband, Clegg and Cameron issue a statement saying very clearly we're in favour of both union and devolution.\" But Eddie Bone, campaign director for the Campaign for an English Parliament, said he \"fundamentally disagreed\" with Mr Allen's approach to the issue. \"My concern is he's put no thought into keeping England together as a collective voice,\" he said. \"How would you stop regions competing against each other? \"I fully understand the principle of devolving power to the people who live locally - I think that's a laudable approach - but the first stage has got to be an English government speaking on behalf of all the people of England.\"",

All he is doing, the Treasury says, is closing this loophole. Bakers say if the government taxes takeaway pies, pasties and sausage rolls fresh from the oven it could be the thin end of the wedge - any fresh food could be next. The clear message from the 300 or so baking protesters is that they feel customers and businesses cannot afford the tax change. The craft baker Beaney's Bakery in Medway, Kent is a small family business started in 1936. Chris Beaney, who took it over from his father 44 years ago, is also a director of the National Association of Master Bakers, which represents around 1,000 craft bakers across the country. Mr Beaney said: \"They've changed the rules so that if someone comes into our shop and a tray of sausage rolls comes out of the oven, we're not allowed to sell those sausage rolls unless we put VAT on them, or we say to them 'hang on 10 minutes and you can have it without VAT'. \"It's going to be completely impossible to police. \"If we let this go through it could mean that you could put VAT on any fresh food product - lettuce, tomatoes, potatoes, anything - and I think that's really wrong because if you put VAT on fresh food it will just get worse and worse.\" The bread makers Chris Young, from the Real Bread Campaign, said bakeries relied on sales of pasties and pies to keep them afloat. \"At a time when government should be supporting small independent businesses this really isn't helpful. There's no profit margin in baking real, additive-free bread and so a lot of small independent high street bakeries rely on pies and pasties to help keep them in business. \"We really don't need this. We need help, not hindrance from the government. We don't need yet another tax, we need tax breaks. We are part of a local community bringing fresh real bread and we need a hand here.\" The Greggs employees Adam Yates and five other Greggs bakers set off from Treforest, Pontypridd at 5.45am to get to the Downing Street protest. He said customers in Wales were \"livid\" at the tax plans. \"It's totally unfair. We've got a double-dip recession. Our customers don't need this. The business doesn't need it - it's grossly unfair and we'll fight until the bitter end until the government change their minds. \"Customers are absolutely livid - it's totally unacceptable. We can't pass the costs straight onto the customer but something's got to give somewhere. That's why we're all here demonstrating today.\" Martin Kibbler travelled from Newcastle. He said: \"It'll be very hard to explain to customers why they should be expected to pay 20% tax on something that's just an everyday food product. We feel that it's just so unfortunate that it's being proposed at a time when customers are really feeling the pinch so struggling for money. \"It's really unwelcome for everybody. It's bad for business, it's bad for employment, and most important it's bad for consumers.\"",

Some five million women in England and Wales have urinary incontinence, but many suffer in silence because they are too embarrassed to seek help. Botox helps control the muscular bladder wall. Overactive bladder NICE says those with \"overactive bladder syndrome\" that has not responded to recommended lifestyle changes should be offered the injections. It is not clear what causes it, but those affected by an overactive bladder have a frequent urge to urinate and can experience leakage before they can make it to the toilet. Cutting down on caffeinated drinks such as tea and coffee, as well as alcohol, doing pelvic floor exercises and making scheduled trips to the toilet can help, but some people will need medical treatment or surgery. The condition is different to stress incontinence - when the pelvic floor muscles are too weak, as can occur after childbirth, causing leaks with coughing and laughing. With an overactive bladder, there is a problem with how the bladder responds to getting fuller, meaning the person feels they urgently need to urinate more often than most. Someone with this condition might end going up to the toilet up to 15 times a day and three times a night, for example, when the norm is to go four to eight times a day and up to once a night. It affects both sexes, but most often women. The NICE guidelines, which cover England and Wales, only discuss treating women. Botox treatment is thought to help dampen chemical messages that your bladder uses to tell the brain that you need to urinate. The injections are administered directly to the bladder wall via a small device inserted into the urethra - the tube you urinate through. Clinical trials suggest this treatment may last for up to six months, but NICE says people also need to be aware of the possible side-effects. The treatment can make it more difficult to pass urine and some people may find they need to use a catheter for a time. There is also a chance of getting a urine infection. Anyone who starts on this treatment should have a face-to-face check up or be reviewed over the phone within four weeks, says NICE. Prof Mark Baker, director of the Centre for Clinical Practice at NICE, said: \"Urinary incontinence is a distressing condition affecting the lives of millions of women of all ages. \"While rarely life-threatening, it may seriously influence a woman's physical, psychological and social wellbeing. \"Over the years we have seen an increase in women seeking treatment, yet many others are still suffering in silence and not receiving the appropriate care for their condition. \"This updated clinical guideline suggests a range of treatments that women should be able to access to limit the distress that urinary incontinence can cause.\"",

            "input": "By Anisa SubedarBBC Trending Few could have predicted the impact of a single tweet by actor Alyssa Milano in October 2017. It came in the wake of dozens of allegations against Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein, who has pleaded not guilty to rape and sexual assault charges. Millions of women heeded Alyssa Milano's call, and thousands of stories were shared by women describing their experiences of sexual assaults and abuse online. The moment was soon hashtag-ised into the #MeToo movement, which encouraged women to speak about about sexual harassment and abuse. You might also be interested in: But as the allegations piled up against accused abusers and rapists, the phenomenon simultaneously exposed rifts and differences of opinion between women. There have been discussions about the aims of the movement: should it focus on workplace assaults, or be a much broader equality campaign? What tactics are useful? And what should happen when accusations turn out to be false? One potential generational divide reared its head early on, with some older feminists decrying what they saw as a focus on victimhood. In essence, they were telling their younger counterparts to toughen up and get shrewder about the intentions of men. In a much-discussed piece for The Atlantic, Caitlin Flanagan said women who were teenagers in the 1970s \"were strong in a way that so many modern girls are weak.\" Megan McArdle, a columnist for the Washington Post says: \"I think there are situations in which women have more power.\" Speaking to BBC Trending, McArdle says she believes the issue is \"complicated\". \"I think there are also lots of situations where the men do [have the power]. But I think we should teach those women to stand up and seize that power back.\" Gender justice specialist Natalie Collins thinks that many younger women have been misled. \"I think young women have been told a lie that they can have equal power in sexual interactions with men. The reality is they don't.\" Collins also believes the prevalence of pornography impacts more on the life of a younger woman. \"Porn culture has led her to have a particular understanding of what it means to have sexual interactions of what is erotic and what's not. \"The problem is she has lived in a culture which hasn't educated her that men and women are not equal, and men have power over women in nearly every interaction she's going to have.\" On the other hand, it is possible that reports of a generational divide have been exaggerated. In a Vox/Morning Consult survey in March, there wasn't much difference in the attitudes of younger and older women about #MeToo - or their concerns about its potential negative effects 'Naive Fantasy' Other women have raised concerns that the campaign's benefits will come mainly for white, Western women. More than 10 years ago, before the present hashtag incarnation, African-American activist Tarana Burke first used the phrase \"me too\" in connection with a campaign against sexual assault. Some have expressed concern that Burke and other ethnic minority women are being ignored. Poet Asha Bandele told the website Afropunk: \"I have my concern about the ownership of that movement publicly being in the hands of white women. I don't know that white women have ever led a movement that secured people outside of their own. \"And I also think about Tarana Burke who is the founder of #MeToo, not being given her proper space, in my opinion. She's not put on the cover of Time magazine for the movement she founded, she's put inside the pages.\" More on this story Download the Trending podcast - from the BBC World Service But some have argued that the movement is adaptable, and that it will be interpreted in different ways across different cultures. \"Who can speak up about everything for everyone?\" says author Kirsty Allison. \"That's just a kind of naive fantasy.\" What's next? Although social media mentions of #MeToo have declined since the explosion of interest following Alysaa Milano's initial tweet, the hashtag remains a consistent feature of online discussion. The movement shows no sign of going away. The #MeToo hashtag was tweeted more than five million times in the last three months of 2017. And it was used more than two million times during a three month period between May and August this year. \"It's not like something like the fall [of the Berlin Wall] or like John Lennon getting shot. This is more like it's an ongoing moment,\" McArdle says. \"I think history will write this as a big cultural shift. Like many big cultural shifts in a couple of cases it may have, we're still calibrating. We had an old norm, we've gotten rid of it, what are the new ones? I think we're still trying to figure that out. \"We may look back and think in some cases we went too far and in some cases we didn't go far enough, we're still trying to figure this out but I think this will absolutely be seminal for women in the workplace. I really do.\" Do you have a story for us? Email BBC Trending.

            "input": "At least 83 people died when a Su-22 jet dropped a bomb filled with the nerve agent Sarin on Khan Sheikhoun, a report by a commission of inquiry says. Damascus insists the incident was faked and denies using chemical weapons. The report also says a US strike on a mosque complex in March that killed 38 people violated international law. The investigators allege that US forces failed to take all feasible precautions to avoid or minimise incidental loss of civilian life and damage to civilian objects. The US says the strike, which targeted al-Qaeda-linked militants in the village of Jinah, killed only one civilian and was proportional to a valid military objective. An Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) fact-finding mission confirmed in June that people in Khan Sheikhoun were exposed to Sarin on 4 April. However, its mandate did not include identifying who was responsible. An OPCW-UN Joint Investigative Mechanism has been given that task, but the UN human rights investigators say there are already \"reasonable grounds\" to believe that government forces attacked the town. They say that interviews with 43 witnesses, victims and first responders, along with early warning reports, indicate that a Su-22 aircraft conducted four air strikes that day. Only Syrian forces operate such aircraft, which are easy to recognise and difficult to mistake for anything else, they note. Based on crater analysis and satellite imagery, the investigators conclude that three conventional bombs and a Sarin bomb consistent with those produced by the former Soviet Union were dropped. They also dismiss statements from the government's ally, Russia, which has asserted that the Syrian Air Force struck a terrorist chemical weapons depot. It is extremely unlikely that an air strike would release Sarin potentially stored inside such a structure in amounts sufficient to explain the number of casualties, they say. First, they explain, the explosion resulting from an air strike would have burnt off most of the agent inside the depot or forced it into the rubble where it would have been absorbed, rather than released in significant amounts into the atmosphere. Second, the facility would still be heavily contaminated today, for which there is no evidence, they add. Third, people with symptoms consistent with Sarin exposure began appearing hours before the time Russian officials gave for the Syrian Air Force strike. President Bashar al-Assad has said the incident in Khan Sheikhoun - which prompted the US to launch a missile strike on an airbase - was a \"fabrication\". He has insisted his forces destroyed their entire chemical arsenal under a deal brokered by the US and Russia after a Sarin attack outside Damascus in 2013. In a separate development on Wednesday, UN special envoy Staffan de Mistura told Syria's opposition that it must be realistic and accept it has failed to win the six-year civil war. However, he also stressed that the government should not think that it can \"simply announce victory\". Mr de Mistura said the imminent fall of so-called Islamic State's strongholds of Raqqa and Deir al-Zour meant the \"moment of truth\" was approaching for all those involved in the conflict to agree a political solution.",

The awards were handed out by Keep Northern Ireland Beautiful. The number of people using coastal waters for sport or recreation has risen dramatically in the past 18 months. A review of bathing waters is planned next year by the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs (Daera). At the official bathing areas in Northern Ireland, water-quality testing regularly takes place between the start of June and the middle of September. There is also \"pre-season sampling\" in mid-May. However, some people are going into the water all year round, including at places not on the official list of bathing areas, such as Donaghadee and Brompton in Bangor, County Down. A Daera spokesperson said: \"The department is aware of an increased interest in both inland and coastal waters for recreational purposes, particularly during the Covid-19 pandemic. \"[It] is preparing for a formal consultation and review of bathing waters in 2022 and the department will initiate the preparatory work this year.\" Tim Mackie, a marine biologist at the department, says Northern Ireland waters \"are actually very clean\". \"In the last 10 years, we have seen a 100% increase in the number of our bathing waters reaching the 'excellent' standard',\" he added. Water samples are taken on a regular basis during the summer, usually once a week, and then analysed in a laboratory. The 26 official bathing areas include Ballycastle and Carnlough in County Antrim, as well as Helen's Bay, Ballyholme and Newcastle in County Down. To be added to the list, a proposed area must meet legally-defined criteria on usage, safety and site management. This includes the appointment of a bathing water operator such as a local council. The Daera spokesperson added: \"If it is confirmed that a nominated site meets the criteria, a public consultation is undertaken with a recommendation that the candidate site be formally identified as a bathing water.\" The increase in sea activities has led to the formation of swimming groups on social media to ensure people do not swim alone for safety reasons.",

George Osborne will also announce a cut in the top rate of income tax. Welsh Conservative MP Guto Bebb said the cut would be a \"difficult policy to sell\". The Budget comes on the day that official statistics show wages in Wales are the lowest in the UK, behind Northern Ireland. The Office for National Statistics said the median annual income for public sector workers was £21,258 last year - 19% more than the private sector figure of £17,177. The UK government is examining how public sector pay can be brought into line with the private sector. But critics say it would mean a pay cut for people in poorer parts of the UK. Last autumn, Mr Osborne asked independent pay review bodies to report in the summer on whether the public sector could be \"made more responsive to local labour markets\". But the Public and Commercial Services Union (PCS), which has members working for the UK and devolved governments, said the proposal would hit Wales particularly hard. According to the Institute for Fiscal Studies, Wales has the biggest public-private pay gap in the UK. Women in Wales can earn an extra 18.5% and men an extra 18% in the public sector than they could expect to make working for private companies with similar qualifications, the think tank estimates. PCS senior national officer Jeff Evans said: \"What these figures demonstrate is that regional pay would also be an absolute disaster for the Welsh economy.\" 'Real impact' The gap could be only be closed by holding down public employees' pay while wages in the private sector rise in line with inflation, he added. \"The real impact on the Welsh economy would be even greater, however, since the reduced spending power of public sector workers would translate into reduced revenues and wages in private sector businesses that currently benefit from that spending,\" he added. First Minister Carwyn Jones has described the proposal as \"ludicrous\" and as \"code for cutting pay in Wales\". New Plaid Cymru leader Leanne Wood on Tuesday night invited him and other Welsh party leaders to unite in opposition to the proposal. Treasury officials say it would ensure the UK has a responsive, modern labour force. Growth They see the move as \"pro-growth\", saying it would help make the private sector become more competitive. Mr Osborne is also expected to raise the threshold at which anyone pays income tax to more than £9,000 next year, leaving the average standard rate taxpayer £305 a year better off. He will announce a cut in the top rate of tax from 50p to 45p, but not for a year. Payable on income over £150,000, the 50p rate was introduced in April 2010 in what Labour said at the time was a temporary move. Mr Bebb, Tory MP for Aberconwy, told BBC Radio Wales: \"It'll be a very difficult policy to sell in terms of the signal being sent out because clearly when the chancellor says we're all in this together the 50p tax rate was part and parcel of that message. \"It depends upon how it's rebalanced - what other taxes will be brought in to try to counter balance any loss of income as a result of this change.\" Mr Bebb said a \"timetable for its abolition would be understandable\" if the rate was not generating money for the Treasury. He added that the chancellor \"had to make decisions which are right for the financial viability of the country\".",

When the firm checked for technical issues on its side, it found none, a Google spokesman told the BBC. \"If people are unable to access Google Drive in China... it's an issue to take up with the Chinese authorities,\" he said. The restriction does indeed seem to come from Beijing, but it is not a surprise, say analysts. The Chinese government has been notoriously unfriendly towards a number of Western websites and online services, mostly targeting social media networks and video sharing sites that could have a mass impact on \"the community\", notes Duncan Clark, a chairman of BDA China, a consultancy firm in Beijing. \"It's a question of control - and the Chinese authorities like to keep close control of web content, preferring to work with local internet content providers, on whom they can rely for self-censorship of content,\" says Mr Clark. Cracks in wall And to exercise this control, the state closely monitors internet traffic within the country and all web content that crosses its borders. This Great Chinese Firewall uses several tools. All internet traffic into China passes through a small number of gateways, giving the government a chance to control the information. Sometimes Beijing will block access to a site that has been blacklisted by the government. The authorities may also prevent the look-up of certain domain names, thus causing a \"site not found\" error message on the user's screen. If a site is not on any blacklist but its URL - web address - contains a prohibited word, the site may be blocked - and this may also happen if a prohibited keyword is published anywhere on the page a user is viewing. Censorship can be done more subtly as well - for example by filtering posts with prohibited keywords on the country's social media platforms and erasing comments shortly after they have been posted on microblogging sites. But the Great Firewall does have cracks. For instance, in February US President Barack Obama's Google+ account was flooded with comments from China, after a gap in the firewall temporarily allowed Chinese users to access the social network. \"The Firewall doesn't work perfectly, it is in fact full of holes,\" says Hamid Sirhan, a strategist at social media agency FreshNetworks in London. \"To go round the restrictions, Chinese netizens use proxies to 'tunnel' through the wall, and they often work around blocked search terms by using sometimes-humorous homonyms.\" Special software like JonDonym, Tor and Ultrasurf help web users to break through the Chinese government's restrictions. Although it is possible for more technically-savvy internet users to access banned Western websites and services, most Chinese are perfectly content with home-grown alternatives, he adds. Web clones And there are plenty of them. China is known for cloning the Western web world, with one key difference: these sites are self-policing and conform to local laws. The government's restrictions on foreign web services only help local firms to thrive, says Mr Clark of BDA. For instance, with YouTube blocked, China's leading video website Youku is thriving. Sina Weibo, the Chinese equivalent of microblogging site Twitter, already has 300 million users - more than twice as many as the Western original. With access to Google's search hampered by China's firewall, Baidu dominates the country's search traffic - without showing any search results that are inconvenient to the Beijing government. Baidu may not let you find out much on the violent suppression of protests in Tiananmen Square in 1989, and many other search terms are censored, but it will deliver the right content for most common searches. Baidu's latest cloud service Wangpan, announced just weeks before the launch of Google Drive, beats Google by offering 25GB of free storage - as much as Microsoft's Skydrive and much more than Google's 5GB. Although banning foreign firms may give a short-term boost to Chinese tech entrepreneurs, it could hurt the country in the long run, says Mr Clark. \"What if these Chinese companies wanted to go global and succeed?\" he asks. \"We all know that China is the manufacturing workshop of the world, but it is now trying to move up, to become much more interested in design, and the government wants to influence the image of China overseas, get it to participate in global industries. \"So if these companies are this much protected domestically, then in the long run it means that they're not as capable functioning overseas. \"But the government is more focused on the short term concerns about control and doesn't seem to think ahead.\" Cat-and-mouse And Beijing should also be wary of possible future discontent among Chinese netizens, he adds - not only because they are not allowed to access Google and other Western sites, but also because of the censorship at home. When the authorities recently disabled the commenting function on local microblogs, they only managed to keep up the restrictions for three days - and then the service went back to normal. \"The state and the Chinese netizens have been playing a cat-and-mouse game,\" says Mr Clark. \"I will be interesting to see who will win - although I don't think Beijing is ready to give in any time soon.\"",

Posting on social media, the politician said he was \"standing against\" [Labour leader] Sir Keir Starmer. \"If [he] loses this by-election, it's curtains,\" he added. The by-election was triggered after the previous MP Tracy Brabin had to stand down when she was elected as West Yorkshire's mayor. Labour has selected Kim Leadbeater, sister of Jo Cox, who represented the seat before her murder by a right-wing extremist, as the party's candidate. The Conservatives have selected Ryan Stephenson, a Leeds councillor, as their candidate. The Yorkshire Party, which came third in the recent West Yorkshire mayoral election, said local engineer Corey Robinson would contest the by-election for them. Jo Conchie, a television producer and director, will represent The Liberal Democrats. 'I'm your man' Ms Brabin held Batley and Spen for Labour with a reduced majority in the general election of 2019 - down to 3,525 from 8,961 in 2017. Paul Halloran, who secured 12% of the vote for the Heavy Woollen District Independents to come third in 2019, is yet to confirm if he will stand. In his video post, filmed at Batley bus station, Mr Galloway, who previously served as MP for Bradford West, said: \"If for whatever reason you think that the current leader of the Labour Party needs to be replaced, I'm your man.\" His campaign follows the Labour Party's dramatic defeat by the Conservatives in Hartlepool earlier this month, with the party's leadership blamed for losing touch with local voters. Labour also lost control of eight councils and more than 300 seats in the Local Elections, including County Durham, which had been under Labour control for more than 100 years. It performed better in Wales, where it remains the largest party in the Senedd - the Welsh Parliament - and won 11 out of 13 mayoral races in England. The Batley and Spen by-election could also be further complicated by coronavirus, with Kirklees one of the areas where people have been encouraged to \"minimise travel\" due to the spread of the Indian variant.

It feels like a political lifetime since there has been a fundamental dispute in the cabinet, in the Tory party and across Parliament. Theresa May has stubbornly, although understandably, tried to plot a middle course. But that has failed so spectacularly at this stage. Ultimately she may well be left with the same dilemma of which way to tack. It's clear, wide open, in public, that the cabinet is at odds with each other. Just listen to David Gauke and Liam Fox on whether a customs union could be a compromise for example. The answer for her is not suddenly going to emerge from a unified tier of her top team. There are perhaps five or six of the cabinet who would be happy to see that kind of relationship as a way to bring Labour on board. But there is a group of around the same size who would rather see what they describe as a \"managed no deal\". You may well wonder if that isn't a contradiction in terms. But the principle would be that the UK would pay the divorce bill already agreed and over a two-year period construct a series of side deals on specific issues, rather than try to come up with a whole new comprehensive plan. There are already intense arguments about whether that's remotely realistic. But the overall point is that the prime minister cannot just therefore look to her top colleagues for an immediate solution. Before she decides which way to tack, or how far to budge, she may need to ask herself if the talks she wants to hold with other political parties are occasions when she is really open to ideas - or just ways of managing the political situation. One cabinet minister involved in the talks suggested that many MPs still needed to understand how the agreement they have reached with the EU worked. And that as \"project reality\" dawned, there could still be a way through of salvaging Mrs May's deal in something like its current form. And certainly there wasn't much in the PM's lectern statement to suggest she is suddenly ready to move very much. One former minister described it as \"still flicking the V at the 48% - she's deluded, she never changes her mind and cannot conceive that others might\". If all that the prime minister intends to do is massage a few egos with these talks, it seems unlikely that she'll find a quick route to success. And Labour may well stay outside the process. Many members of the public might be furious that Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn won't play nice during a time of crisis. He's always said he believes in dialogue, but when it really matters, he says no. But inside the Labour movement there are others who might accuse of him of helping to make Brexit happen if he takes part. Like so many facets of this process, it's not a straightforward political calculation. But across Parliament, for a very long time now, even some MPs who were on the prime minister's side to start with have been intensely frustrated that she hasn't listened. It will take a lot more than a cup of tea in Downing Street to bring her many critics on board.",

Areas include partnerships between industry and universities in sectors such as life sciences, artificial intelligence and automotive - which Wales will benefit from; also tax credits for research and development. A green paper had already outlined \"10 pillars\" including science, affordable energy and research and innovation. Mike Plaut, chairman of CBI Wales, said: \"We want a vision, a plan, to know where we're going, we'd like to ensure it's not politics, to ensure that it's reality. \"It's important post-Brexit we all know where we're heading, what economy we're trying to build, what sort of country we want. \"It's going to be very difficult to generate high paid jobs in a competitive world so we're going to need every factor in our favour.\" He also said it had to be \"measurable, not spin\" and include infrastructure, which for Wales would be projects like the new M4 relief road. \"Politicians love robotics, artificial intelligence but to most of us we will adopt that technology as and when we need it,\" said Mr Plaut. \"What we need is often simple innovation and then infrastructure is also important to us, to get from A to B.

            "input": "By Pradeep BashyalBBC Nepali, Kathmandu On 13 May, exhausted and struggling to breathe, a Chinese climber in her early 30s staggered into Camp 3. At 7,162m (23,500ft) it was higher than she had ever climbed before. But the expedition was not going to plan and her dream of scaling Everest was slipping away. Helping the woman, who did not want to be named, with her oxygen mask was the group's leader, Kami Rita Sherpa. Not just any mountain guide, but the world-record holder for summiting Everest - he notched up his 24th ascent to the summit later that month. \"I always try to make sure every client succeeds to the summit,\" says Kami. \"But there is a line. The moment I realise that any of my clients will not make it, I will abort the mission.\" Even from the outset, Kami saw that his client was struggling. Days earlier, she took 19 hours, twice the expected time, to trek from Base Camp to Camp 2. When she finally arrived, Kami made the decision she simply wasn't ready for the summit and had her flown back down to Kathmandu by helicopter. Rejoining the group a few days later, setting off from Base Camp, things started well. But by 6,000m, she was already heavily reliant on supplementary oxygen, a resource normally reserved for altitudes of 7,000m and above. By the time they arrived at Camp 3, Kami had made up his mind. The risk was too great - he ordered her to be taken back down the mountain to safety. \"There is always a risk of avalanche and above Camp 3 the path is steep and treacherous,\" says Kami. If in doubt, descent is always the best decision, because Everest will always be there if you survive.\" Everest is always dangerous. But this season, the death toll has been the highest for four years. Overcrowding, bad weather and a record number of permits being issued may all be contributing factors. But Kami believes it's an increase in the number of less experienced climbers, like his client, that are making the problem worse. He blames some tour companies for underestimating the risks to novice climbers. \"Overcrowding is nothing new. This is not the reason people are dying. It's pressure on young climbers by some companies describing Everest as easy. Everest is never easy.\" Many veteran climbers, such as expert mountaineer and writer Alan Arnette, have also warned of the risks of tourists with little or no training attempting to scale huge peaks such as Everest. \"Climbers need to wake up and understand that climbing a big peak like Everest is extremely risky. They need to stop believing just because they are with a 'Sherpa guide' who has summited Everest 10 times that they will be rescued if they get in trouble,\" says Alan. \"Even the strongest Sherpa cannot take an incapacitated person lower by themselves or expect extra oxygen to be delivered to 8,400m at a moment's notice. And helicopters have their limits, as do rescue policies and GPS devices.\" Towering 8,850m above sea level, Mount Everest is the most famous mountain in the world. Located on the Nepal-Tibet border, this global beacon of exploration and endeavour lures hundreds of climbers every year. But as Kami says: \"Without a Sherpa, there is no expedition.\" Descended from Tibetan heritage, the Sherpa community are an ethnic group, indigenous to the Himalayan region. But for many outside Nepal, the word \"Sherpa\" has become synonymous with those working as mountain guides. Mostly young men, Sherpa guides are not just the muscle behind any expedition - carrying extra gear such as oxygen bottles, water and food - they are also expert navigators. Enduring freezing temperatures of -30C down to -50C, they help climbers to negotiate icefalls, avalanches and extreme altitude. From Camp 4 up to the summit, climbers will enter what is commonly known as the \"death zone\". Operating above 8,000m, 95% of climbers will rely on supplementary oxygen carried in bottles. Sherpas must ensure their clients conserve their oxygen supply for the return journey. \"I keep checking everyone's oxygen levels, and in the event of extreme weather, I make strategic decisions about whether we ascend or descend to avoid any developing situations in the mountains,\" explains Kami. Working as a mountain guide since 1992, last month Kami broke his own world record not just once, but twice. On 15 May, he reached the summit with 15 clients from China, before returning on 21 May with a second group of 11 climbers from India. \"I treat every climb with the same sincerity as the first,\" says Kami. \"Whenever a client is successful, it makes my day. I believe breaking records is just a by-product.\" Although the climbing season is short, often only a single week in mid-May, Sherpas look after the mountain for a total of three months. As well as fixing ropes and ladders before climbers arrive, they also undertake a huge clean-up operation, clearing the tonnes of rubbish left behind on the mountain. In the language of Tibet, Mount Everest is known as Chomolungma, meaning goddess mother of the world. Many Sherpas believe that the summit of Chomolungma is home to the Buddhist goddess Miyolangsangma. It was she, they say, who allowed the first explorers, Sherpa Tenzing Norgay and New Zealander Edmund Hillary, to reach the top in 1953. For the Sherpa community, the mountain is not just a mass of rock, but a deity to be revered and cared for. \"We worship and have deep respect for the mountain,\" says Mingma Tenzi Sherpa, who has reached the summit eight times. \"We trust it will save us from whatever comes.\" Kami grew up in the same mountain village as Tenzing Norgay. Thame is just 20km (13 miles) from Everest Base Camp, and the colossal Himalayan mountain range influenced many aspects of his childhood. Just getting to school meant a four-hour trek and put young Kami's climbing skills to the test. Life was hard. The area is far from major towns, food was often scarce and healthcare almost non-existent. To earn extra money, aged just 10, Kami dropped out of school and began trekking with his elders up peaks exceeding 3,000m. In the evenings he'd listen to their stories, tales of the mountain passed down through generations of Sherpas. \"I wanted to be a monk and spent five years training at a nearby monastery,\" says Kami, \"but how could I look for inner peace when back home the lives of my parents hung in the balance? There was no option but to return to climbing.\" Still today, almost every household in Thame depends on the passing trade from visiting climbers; running lodges, transporting supplies back and forth on yaks and ponies, or working up at Everest Base Camp as a porter or cook. However, it's the Sherpas who guide foreign climbers all the way to the summit who make the most money, bringing home between $5,000 (£3,960) to $8,000 (£6,330) in a single season. In 1992, aged 22, Kami began working as a kitchen porter at Base Camp. Luckily for Kami, his older brother Lakpa was also working on the mountain as a guide taking climbers up to the summit. For the next two years, Lakpa took Kami under his wing, pushing him through rigorous high-altitude training and getting him work guiding small groups out on short trips to help them acclimatise. Then in 1994, Kami finally got his first shot at the top. The night before the final push to the summit, Kami remembers being too anxious to sleep. Instead, he thought about what his fellow Sherpas had advised: \"Just pray for good weather!\" The following day under clear skies, both Kami and his client made their first ascent to the top. \"In that moment, my happiness was not about my first summit, but that my life would now be easier. With the summit of Everest on my resume, I would get more work.\" Since Kami Rita's first ascent in the mid-1990s, technologies such as weather prediction systems, helicopters, climbing gear and satellite communications have all revolutionised the adventure industry. But rather than alleviating the demands on them, Sherpas say they have only increased. With growing numbers of aspiring climbers arriving year upon year, more mountain guides are needed than ever before. This year 381 climbing permits were issued on the Nepal side, the highest since records began in 1953. Tour companies charge visitors anywhere between $30,000 and $130,000 or more, in return for organising their permits, equipment, finding a guide, and ensuring an emergency plan is in place. This also includes an $11,000 fee which goes directly to the Nepalese government. High-end luxury packages may include up to as many as five Sherpas per climber to manage bespoke demands such as unlimited bottled oxygen, more comfortable tents or even hot showers. Kami describes his community as the \"army of the mountains\". But like many Sherpas, he feels that despite being an integral part of Nepal's tourism industry, their contribution is barely recognised by the government. \"We sacrifice everything for the mountain,\" says Kami. \"We know the mountains the best and can help to save them like no-one else can. But the government has to trust us and make our profession a secure one.\" According to Nepal's Department for Tourism, since 2010 the total number of registered Sherpas has decreased by a fifth. Many say they would prefer their children to stay in school rather than follow in their footsteps. Many of Kami's frustrations with his own government relate to his experience on 18 April 2014, when 16 Sherpas were killed after a devastating avalanche at Khumbu Icefalls. The icefall is a notoriously steep and treacherous part of the Khumbu glacier which climbers must negotiate between Base Camp and Camp 1. It is considered by most Sherpas to be more dangerous than standing on the top of Everest because large pieces of ice can easily become dislodged without warning. Following the tragedy, the Nepalese government introduced medical and life insurance policies for all Sherpas working on the mountain. But for Kami, who lost an uncle and two close friends in the disaster, this was simply not enough. On the day of the avalanche, he remembers being woken by his brother rushing into his tent at Base Camp. Following Lapka out on to the ice, Kami saw large groups of Sherpas gathered around on walkie-talkies. Less than 2km north, dozens of Sherpas had been preparing the path at the icefall for the next season of incoming tourists. Huge blocks of ice the size of cars broke off the nearby glacier and fell over 1km right on top of where the group of Sherpas were working. \"We've always feared the Khumbu Icefall,\" Kami says. \"But that day, our fear materialised into a catastrophe.\" As the brothers headed up the mountain to help, Kami remembers seeing human limbs scattered in the snow. His brother discovered 11 bodies which had been forced together under the impact of the avalanche. \"We tried our best, but in the mountains, everything happens so quickly. We were powerless,\" says Kami. As compensation, the government offered $400 to every family affected, less than a quarter of what a novice Sherpa would hope to bring home in a single season. The community were furious. \"That was all our lives were worth!\" says Kami. After the avalanche, Lakpa vowed never to return to the summit again. He now manages expeditions only from Base Camp. However, Kami, with little education, felt he had no alternative but to carry on climbing. His fear of the icefall has never left him. \"It's still the same,\" he says. \"I still see the bodies sticking out of the ice every time I pass by.\" After months of being away from his wife and children, on 25 May Kami finally arrived home. His wife Lakpa Jangmu had made a cake with the candles \"24\" confirming her husband's record-breaking achievements. But surrounded by trophies stacked up along the living-room shelves and a life-sized poster of \"Kami, the world record breaker\" mounted just behind the sofa, it all raised the question, would he set out to break his own world record again next year? \"So many things in my life are uncertain and left without a plan,\" he says with a cheeky smile. \"I will think about next year... next year.\" Production and graphics by Claire Press",

            "input": "Barbara Allison received a message from Permanent Secretary Leslie Evans after the government conceded it had acted unlawfully while investigating claims against the former first minister. The message said that the \"battle may be lost but not the war\". Ms Allison initially told MSPs she had no recollection of getting the text. But on Tuesday, she told the inquiry into the government's handling of the complaints against Mr Salmond that she \"must have deleted\" the message. She said there was no record of the message on her phone, but she had managed to recover it from the Crown Office, who had held it in evidence. Ms Allison, who was the Scottish government's director of people at the time, said she believed the \"war\" Ms Evans was referring to was about equality and \"making sure women can come forward\" with concerns about senior politicians. Ms Evans has previously echoed this defence when asked about the text message, saying it has been \"misinterpreted as having some kind of conspiratorial element to it\". She has denied being \"at war\" with Mr Salmond, and insisted the government was not out to \"get\" him while drawing up its complaints procedure. The former first minister took the government to court over its handling of two harassment complaints against him in 2018. Ahead of the judicial review hearing the two sides agreed there had been a \"failure\" in following the recently-devised complaints process, and that the report resulting from the probe - which according to court documents was set to uphold the complaints - \"could not be allowed to stand\". Ms Allison was facing the committee for a second time, having previously given evidence in September. At that point, she was asked if she had received the controversial text message - and answered \"no\". However she later wrote to the committee seeking to correct an \"unintended inaccuracy\", and admitted that she had indeed received the message. Ms Allison said a search of her records \"did not produce any results\", but that the Crown Office had provided her with \"a copy of material which they retried from my mobile phone\" ahead of Mr Salmond's criminal trial - which saw him acquitted of 13 charges of sexual assault. She said the message had been sent on 8 January, 2019 - the day it was confirmed that the government had conceded defeat to Mr Salmond in a judicial review action. The government had to pay out £500,000 in legal expenses to the former first minister after admitting its internal investigation of harassment complaints had been flawed. Ms Allison said she assumed the \"battle\" referred to in the message was the judicial review, and said her interpretation of the \"war\" was that it was \"about making sure women can come forward\". Pressed about whether she had deleted the message from her phone, Ms Allison replied: \"I don't routinely keep all my texts. I will clear out texts, so I must have deleted some.\" Meanwhile, the civil servant at the heart of the botched investigation told the committee she was \"shocked\" that the government had conceded defeat in the judicial review. Judith McKinnon, who was allowed to give audio evidence to the committee rather than appearing in person or via video link, insisted that she acted \"objectively and fairly\" when investigating two claims against the former first minister. The government conceded that the probe was unlawful on grounds of \"apparent bias\" because Ms McKinnon had previously had contact with both of the complainers, in contravention of its own rules for the procedure. The HR boss said that she had acted \"appropriately\" and in line with the \"intention\" of the policy, but that one passage of the final draft of it was open to \"interpretation\" about the role of the investigating officer. She said: \"The role of the investigating officer was very clear from early doors, about what was expected from the investigating officer. The initial drafting was very clear about what prior contact could take place, and that is how I operated.\" She also confirmed that the procedure - which the government stands behind and is still in operation - had not been altered despite the defeat in the judicial review. Ms McKinnon said it was \"under review\", and that \"we haven't used the policy again since\". The committee has resumed hearings with witnesses after previously complaining it could not proceed due to \"obstruction\" and a lack of written evidence. The Scottish government insists it is cooperating with the inquiry and has committed to handing over further papers - including 2,000 pages of evidence about the judicial review, which they said would be provided to Mr Salmond's lawyers to review. Mr Salmond's team have also prepared \"a substantial range of documents\" for the committee, but claim the government is \"withholding relevant materials\" and is seeking to \"tarnish\" Mr Salmond's reputation by publishing the investigation reports which were struck down by the judicial review.",

Meanwhile, Qatar's Al Jazeera network said it was suffering a cyber-attack. \"Al Jazeera Media Network under cyber-attack on all systems, websites and social media platforms,\" it tweeted. The network has been in the crosshairs in the current dispute, and other Gulf countries blocked it in late May. On its website, Al Jazeera said its services were all still working but the attacks \"are gaining intensity and taking various forms\".

In other developments: Saudi Arabia and other states cut travel and diplomatic links on Monday. The emir of Kuwait is trying to mediate the row, carrying out shuttle diplomacy between Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Qatar out of step: BBC diplomatic correspondent James Robbins This is a region largely of absolute monarchs - kings or emirs - who have in common a very firm grip on politics at home to head off any dissent that could represent a threat to their individual regime survival. But the emir of Qatar pursues a series of policies that simply don't fit into the rigid orthodoxy expected by most of the others, notably Saudi Arabia, the superpower of Sunni Islam. His unconventional foreign policy is seen as a threat to Sunni solidarity, particularly because the emir and his ministers promote dialogue and a search for good relations with the rival regional superpower, Shia Muslim Iran. Saudi Arabia is deeply hostile to that approach, and now feels empowered to turn that hostility to action, in the certain knowledge that a new US president, Donald Trump, is at Saudi King Salman's side. Read more from James Addressing reporters in Doha on Thursday, Sheikh Mohammed said Qatar had been isolated \"because we are successful and progressive\". \"We are a platform for peace not terrorism. This dispute is threatening the stability of the entire region,\" he said, adding: \"We are not ready to surrender, and will never be ready to surrender, the independence of our foreign policy.\" He said Iran had offered the use of three of its ports to ship food and water to Qatar as supplies ran low, but he said the offer had not yet been accepted. Qatar is heavily dependent on food imports and the crisis has led to stockpiling and shortages. Sheikh Mohammed said Qatar had never before experienced such hostility. In another development, Russia said Sheikh Mohammed would fly to Moscow for talks with his Russian counterpart, Sergei Lavrov, on Saturday. They will discuss \"urgent international\" issues, Tass news agency reported, but there were no further details. BBC diplomatic correspondent James Robbins says Russia's intervention could complicate existing efforts to defuse the situation. Several countries including the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Egypt cut diplomatic and flight links with Qatar on Monday. Saudi Arabia also closed its land border, a vital lifeline for supplies. Saudi Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir has said Qatar needs to cut ties with Palestinian Islamist group Hamas in the occupied territories, and the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, if it wanted to end its isolation. Meanwhile, Bahrain has joined the UAE in threatening jail terms for anyone voicing support for Qatar. \"Any expression of sympathy with the government of Qatar or opposition to the measures taken by the government of Bahrain, whether through social media, Twitter or any other form of communication, is a criminal offence punishable by up to five years in prison and a fine,\" a statement from the interior ministry said. Turkey, in an apparent act of support for Qatar, has approved a bill allowing more troops to be based there. The Turkish president has also offered to mediate. Qatar is also home to the biggest American air base in the region. US President Donald Trump urged Gulf unity in a call to Saudi Arabia's King Salman, US officials said on Wednesday. However, he had earlier claimed credit for the pressure placed on Qatar saying his recent visit to Saudi Arabia was \"already paying off\".",

            "input": "Sir Oliver Letwin told the BBC it was not clear whether MPs had the numbers to stop a no-deal Brexit themselves. But if the government tried to get its way by by-passing Parliament, he said it would become a \"legal question\". Campaigners say they will challenge any \"prorogation\" of Parliament to allow Brexit on 31 October without a deal. As it stands, the UK will leave the EU on Halloween, with or without a legal agreement, unless the next prime minister and other EU leaders agree to another extension. Boris Johnson, the frontrunner in the race to succeed Theresa May, has ruled this out, saying the UK must leave by that date \"do or die\". However, he has not ruled out potentially suspending - or proroguing - Parliament in the period leading up to 31 October to stop MPs from blocking a no-deal exit. Opponents of a no-deal Brexit - which would see the UK leave the EU single market and customs union overnight - say it would cause massive economic damage. Another attempt is currently under way to make it harder for the government to force through no deal against the wishes of Parliament. 'Straw man' Peers are debating amendments to legislation on the re-establishment of devolved government in Northern Ireland, including one stating that MPs and peers should be recalled to debate reports on progress in the autumn if Parliament is closed. MPs tabled the same amendment in the Commons last week but it was not chosen for debate by Commons Speaker John Bercow. Backing the move, Lib Dem peer Lord Newby said the only reason peers were contemplating such a \"procedural gambit\" was to stop the \"chicanery\" of a possible prorogation. But former Conservative cabinet minister Lord Forsyth said the issue was a \"straw man\" being put up by opponents of Brexit. He said its proponents were ignoring the fact that the Lords and Commons had agreed to the UK leaving the EU when they overwhelmingly passed legislation in 2017 triggering the Article 50 withdrawal process. Asked earlier about the significance of the latest move, Sir Oliver told BBC Radio 4's Today that \"if you have got a law saying that ministers have got to do things in Parliament on certain dates, then it is at least arguable that ministers cannot prorogue Parliament, thereby preventing themselves from obeying that law\". 'Legal question' If it passed, he suggested it would strengthen MPs' hand if the whole issue of suspending Parliament ended up going to court. \"I hope the government won't even try,\" he said. \"If it takes it into its head to do so at any stage...there will be a Supreme Court challenge. \"The existence of this law would make a (legal) challenge more likely to succeed.\" Anti-Brexit campaigner Gina Miller has said she would seek a judicial review of any attempt to force through a no-deal - a move backed by former PM Sir John Major among others. She successfully took the government to the Supreme Court in 2017 to force it to get Parliament's backing to trigger the Article 50 Brexit process. Sir Oliver said it was \"not clear\" whether MPs would be able to stop a no-deal exit by legislative means, such as changing the 31 October date, given disagreements between those who wanted a negotiated exit and those who wanted another referendum. \"Can we actually get a parliamentary majority for some action in the autumn if needed to prevent no deal? The answer is we don't know yet.\" Mr Johnson and his leadership rival Jeremy Hunt will take part in their final head-to-head encounter of the campaign later on Monday, in a debate organised by The Sun. The result of the leadership contest will be announced on 23 July.",

Israel's government says the project will reduce traffic congestion. But opponents say it will damage the area's historic landscape. They intend to petition Israel's High Court of Justice to stop it. Emek Shaveh, an Israeli non-governmental organisation working to defend cultural heritage, has previously warned that the cable car network will alter the skyline of the Old City - a Unesco World Heritage site - and have a detrimental impact on Palestinian residents of the Silwan area living under the proposed route. It has also alleged that the project \"serves a highly political agenda\" and that it was \"fast-tracked\" through the planning process. The Palestinian Authority and the Jordanian government - the custodian of the compound behind the Western Wall, known to Muslims as al-Haram al-Sharif (the Noble Sanctuary) and to Jews as the Temple Mount - have also expressed concern about the impact on the Old City. The Western Wall is a remnant of the site of the biblical Jewish Temple, destroyed by the Romans almost 2,000 years ago, and attracts millions of visitors and worshippers a year. Before planning approval was granted on Monday, Israeli Finance Minister Moshe Kahlon said the Western Wall was not accessible enough. \"It is impossible that heavy traffic prevents thousands of people from praying, visiting and taking part in military and national ceremonies that are taking place there,\" he added, according to the Israeli newspaper Haaretz.

            "input": "By Katie HopeBusiness reporter, BBC News You browse online, click on something you fancy, and lo and behold often as little as 24 hours later it's on your front door step. This seemingly magical process - a relatively recent phenomenon - is being made possible by one of the oldest industries on the planet - shipping. Most of us don't spend a lot of time thinking about how what we buy gets to us. Yet most of the clothes you wear, much of the food you eat, the TV you watch, your phone and even the materials for the house you live in will have come to you via a ship. \"You can put anything in a box more or less,\" quips James Leeson, head of port commercial, at DP World London Gateway. The boxes here mostly contain frozen foods such as chicken and beef, and fruit such as bananas. Occasionally they may contain the lifelong belongings of a family moving overseas, expensive cars, or even, as was the case recently, Virgin founder Richard Branson's yacht. The port officially opened for business just four years ago. The windswept, vast space has literally redrawn the Essex landscape. Situated 20 miles down the River Thames from London, in Thurrock, Essex, the port sits on a bed of sand and silt dredged from the Thames on the site of a former oil refinery. The £1.5bn construction saw a staggering 350,000 animals moved off site into new habitats. At one stage DP World's office building on the site homed tanks of great crested newts before they were moved into newly created ponds. It was planned long before the financial crisis when the world economy was booming and ports were struggling to handle the sheer volumes of goods coming in. The two busiest container ports in the south east are Hutchison Whampoa's Felixstowe, in Suffolk, and DP World's other port in Southampton. And so far the number of containers London Gateway has handled in its short existence has been dwarfed by its rivals. Last year, Felixstowe handled almost six times as many containers as London Gateway. Mr Leeson is undeterred - saying the company is in it for the long term. \"It takes a bit of time to get moving. Shipping volumes are up and we've got big names signing up to leases in logistics park,\" he says. The port's deep channels means it can handle the latest biggest ships, the so called Neo-Panamaxes. These giants, equivalent to the width and length of three football pitches laid end to end, are increasingly the way goods are shipped. Its other big advantage is that most of the port's operations are automated. In a space which is twice the size of the City of London just 500 people are employed. 'Frictionless trade' This means faster \"frictionless trade\", says Mr Leeson. It is this that London Gateway believes will help it to gain more customers. Incoming trucks have to pre-register and are scanned on arrival, before being sent to a specific bay where an automated crane removes or adds their container, meaning they can be in and out in half an hour. The containers themselves are organised by huge cranes which stalk the landscape like Star Wars At-Ats. Like an oversized game of Jenga, where each container goes is carefully organised to make sure that the boxes which need to unloaded or loaded first are near the top. A sophisticated computer system continually tracks where the containers are in the port. Mr Leeson says this is crucial. \"It used to be that your box would arrive at port and you'd have no clue what happened. Now you can track it through port and see when it's ready for collection. Consumers are more and more demanding and we had to respond to that,\" he says. But it is the scale of its logistics park which DP World is betting on to be London Gateway's biggest lure. Currently most of the goods imported into the UK are taken by road, and some by rail, to big distribution centres in the Midlands, the traditional logistics hub for the country. This means shipped goods are often driven from the south, up north to be packaged or priced, and then driven back to the south where the majority of items are bought and sold. DP World believes the space it is offering will enable firms to process goods immediately after arrival, speeding up their deliveries to shops and to consumers increasingly used to Amazon Prime's 24-hour delivery promise. Environmentally it will cut carbon emissions, but crucially DP World also expects it to cut costs. So far, parcel giant UPS and discount supermarket Lidl have taken space, with Dixons Carphone also reported to soon be opening up a warehouse. And fruit importer SH Pratt Group is getting ready to build a giant refrigerated facility for its new venture Halo, which will package chilled and frozen goods. Currently, the space is a muddy patch of wasteland, but Halo's managing director Gavin Knight says it will be up and running by next summer. He says the decision to choose London Gateway was \"quite simple\". \"As soon as you put a container on wheels it adds cost. [This way] we're saving time, food miles and money,\" he says. Global Trade More from the BBC's series taking an international perspective on trade: But Neil Davidson, shipping consultancy Drewry's senior analyst for ports and terminals, says firms will have to weigh up the advantages against the potentially higher cost of renting space and hiring staff in the south east. With the shipping market growing \"steadily but not hugely\", the only way for London Gateway to succeed will be to steal market share from its local rivals, Mr Davidson says. It's something that London Gateway has already started to do, albeit on a small scale.

            "input": "By Claire MarshallBBC environment correspondent Bomb disposal teams in the South West have dealt with double the number of unexploded ordnance than in the same period last year. Since mid December, the Royal Navy's Southern Dive Unit has recovered or disposed of 244 items of ordnance. During the same period last year, they dealt with just 108 items. Almost 70 years after the end of WWII, one legacy of that conflict continues to turn up on beaches and harbours around Britain. Unexploded shells, bombs and mines continue to be discovered every year, and the Royal Navy's Southern Dive Unit is tasked with making these devices safe. Its area of responsibility stretches for some 2,250km (1,400 miles). It begins from the highwater mark in Hull and proceeds seaward to the territorial limit, and then runs clockwise around the British Isles - including the Isle of Wight, Channel Islands, and Isles of Scilly - to finish in Liverpool. Thanks to the unremitting storms and wild weather that have hit the UK since mid-December, these divers have been busier than ever. The unit has been responding to emergency calls almost every day. The divers have had to deal with a British anti-submarine mine discovered by surfers in Haverfordwest in Pembrokeshire, and a rare WWI German mine that was found on a beach near Newquay in Cornwall. \"The explosive is normally of very high quality,\" said Chris O'Flaherty, the commanding officer of the Fleet Diving Squadron. \"The Germans were very good engineers. A number of them aren't viable but an awful lot of them are, and we prove that regularly by the manner in which we dispose of them. \"The explosive deteriorates and the main charge is usually relatively stable. It's the detonator that's the dangerous part.\" I ask him why so few people have been injured by unexploded ordnance. He replies: \"Good fortune.\" The unit was called out to Braunton in Devon last weekend to defuse a live shell found by local couple Phil Naylor and his wife Sue. The storms have scoured away the sand dunes where they normally walk. \"Sue pointed at something, and it was definitely suspicious,\" said Phil. \"It looked like the tip of a bomb or a missile. I went a bit closer to make certain that's what it was. I used to be an RAF armourer and recognised it to be an artillery shell.\" Phil's grandfather, born in Braunton, would have trained on this very beach for the D-Day Landings. \"This shell would have been one of thousands fired here to simulate what the poor guys would find when they hit the beaches [in France],\" said Phil. \"It's quite weird to think that he might have seen that shell flying over his head.\" It's not just walkers that need to be careful. Coastal engineer Andy Bradbury walks over the ribbon of shingle that makes up Hurst Spit in Hampshire. The crunching sound of his feet is muted by the grumble of diggers and other heavy machinery at work on the beach. New Forest District Council has a lot of rebuilding and reinforcing to do. \"It's been a very rough winter,\" he says. \"During the storms there were about 100,000 tonnes of material redistributed around the beach. When this happens, it unearths all kinds of bits and pieces that you really don't want to see.\" At a key point at the opening to the Solent, Hurst Castle was built by Henry VIII to guard the approaches to Southampton. It has been used as a military base on and off ever since. Andy points towards the castle. \"We know they used to practice firing from there. We have found items spanning several hundred years. Explosives used back in the late 1800s are often more dangerous than more recent devices.\" He explains that when \"lyddite\", an early type of high explosive, dries out it can become very unstable. Just the night before, the unit dealt with a shell uncovered on the beach. Seven more had been found over the weekend. He looks down into the crater left by the ordnance. \"All of the machine drivers are briefed on what they do,\" he says. \"They are told not to touch anything. It may be dangerous.\"",

The two men also discussed trade and security issues on Mr Putin's first trip to Britain for seven years. They travelled afterwards to the Olympics to watch the judo competition. BBC Political Correspondent Carole Walker said Downing Street described the 45-minute conversation as \"open and frank\" with clear differences expressed over Syria. The UK has condemned attacks by the Syrian army and state-backed militia on opposition-held areas as the government seeks to regain full control of the country's biggest city, Aleppo. The UK has long called for President Bashar-al Assad to stand down but Russia opposes foreign intervention on either side in the conflict. Russia and China vetoed the latest UN attempt to end the fighting and Russia's foreign ministry said on Thursday it would not endorse a UN General Assembly resolution on Syria calling for a political transition - saying it was \"one-sided and unbalanced\" against the Syrian government. Mr Cameron told reporters: \"While of course we have had some differences in the position we have taken over the conflict we both want to see an end to that conflict and a stable Syria.\" 'Eye to eye' In response, Mr Putin said the UK and Russia saw \"eye-to-eye\" on aspects of the situation in Syria and would work together to find a \"viable solution\". Minutes after the two concluded their meeting, the UN's envoy to Syria Kofi Annan - who has sought to broker a ceasefire - announced he would be stepping down in August. The Russian leader was last in Britain for the Gleneagles G8 summit in July 2005, since when Anglo-Russian relations have been beset by tensions over the murder of former KGB agent Alexander Litvinenko, concern about human rights in Russia and disagreements over the Middle East. But Mr Cameron said there were many areas where the two countries could work together, including trade, energy and security, and Thursday's meeting was aimed at a \"further strengthening\" of relations between the two countries. Mr Putin, who is a black belt and former St Petersburg judo champion, will meet Russian athletes competing in the Olympics and watch a number of bouts in the judo competition. The Russian president praised London 2012's Opening Ceremony, which he chose not to attend in person, as \"wonderful and unforgettable\". \"It was a wonderful feast presented by you to mankind,\" he said. The two discussed new areas for increasing mutual trade, which President Putin said had grown by 35/40% last year. Ahead of his visit, British musicians have appealed to Russian authorities to give punk rock group Pussy Riot - due to stand trial for performing a protest song in Moscow - a \"fair hearing\". In a letter to the Times, artists including Jarvis Cocker, Pete Townshend, Martha Wainwright and Neil Tennant, said the possibility of a seven-year jail sentence for the three women in the group was \"entirely disproportionate\" for what was a \"minor breach of the peace\".",

            "input": "By Cormac CampbellBBC News NI South East Reporter Financial technology firm First Derivatives is due to open its second major hub in the city, while Newry, Mourne and Down Council has also announced building plans. It is expected that the new facilities will bring in hundreds of workers each day. The First Derivatives hub will be based beside the cathedral. Meanwhile, the council has plans to build a theatre, a civic centre and a new park. Such investments are also attracting housing back into the city centre. Facing the new First Derivatives' offices on Hill Street is the city's former post office. At present there are plans to convert this building into 18 apartments. The council investments will be worth well in excess of £20m. The overall final value of the private sector construction has not yet been revealed. Planning legacy Such developments are being viewed as a means of shaping a new future for a town centre badly damaged by poor town planning in the 1960s and 70s. This saw the demolition of hundreds of homes to make way for a dual carriageway. High rise flats followed, although they are now mostly demolished. Following the closure of Newry Port in the 1970s, the city's canal fell into a state of serious disrepair. Low bridges were erected blocking any form of transit on the historic waterway and a one-way system was introduced in the island area between the Clanrye River and Canal. The development of the Buttercrane and Quays Shopping Centres on the Armagh side of the city saw more and more of Newry's retail activity take place away from Hill Street on the County Down side - despite regular cross-border shopping booms. Eamonn Connolly of Newry Business Improvement District is one of a number of people working to reshape the city. Considerable debate He was once County Down's Gaelic football goalkeeper. He also built a modular hotel in a Warrenpoint Industrial Estate and shipped it to the Shetland Islands. It is this capacity for imaginative solutions that Mr Connolly believes is at the heart of the city's regeneration proposals. \"High streets have suffered with out-of-town and online shopping,\" he said. \"We all realise that the High Street needs to do something to improve itself and revitalise itself. So this is a community offering, a work offering, a retail offering and a wider regeneration offering.\" The project is likely to lead to considerable debate over car parking. Not just because more people will be working in the city centre but because the civic centre will be built on the existing Cathedral car park. But Mr Connolly believes solutions can be found. \"Car parking is an issue but is one we are constantly providing solutions to and the Council has said that with this redevelopment of the car park they will be providing solutions to replace the lost spaces,\" he said. Among the most eye-catching parts of the regeneration plan is the development of a new theatre and conference centre. This will be located on a section of wasteland that sits behind the existing Arts Centre and Town Hall. Last year the Council spent in the region of half a million pounds upgrading these facilities. As such, the enhanced plans came as something of a surprise to the local arts community. Donal O'Hanlon of Newpoint Players said the investment is welcome, but more detail is required. \"The Town Hall is an iconic building and is the one most associated with Newry,\" he said. \"It makes an excellent concert hall but it wasn't built as a theatre. It is on a first-floor level. So any visiting production, of which there are few, have to lift all of their sets manually up a flight of stairs. \"They want to roll a truck up at the back and just roll it into the theatre.\" Full design team He said that while the local theatrical community is delighted, it has no idea about what is proposed. \"We remain optimistic that something will be provided that will be acceptable to amateurs and professionals alike,\" Mr O'Hanlon said. The council has said that it will appoint a full design team for the project early in 2019. Before that they say that they will engage with the arts community. The new First Derivatives offices will open in the coming weeks with the council projects expected to be completed by 2021.",

It already operates a Derry-to-Glasgow service. Gareth Scott from trade union Unite said the announcement would be \"a huge relief to those who feared for their jobs\" after the collapse of Flybmi.

This was not for noting instructions that had to be precisely followed, but rather because he needed to write down the musical notes and phrases as they came to him. This was at the beginning of the 1950s, his early days as a performer, when the trumpeter was trying to create Nigeria's highlife rhythms. More musician than bureaucrat At this stage, music was something he did in his spare time and Olaiya thought he had lost his job in the civil service when his boss saw a newspaper photo of him performing at a nightclub. Instead, he was told that he was a better musician than a bureaucrat at the survey department of Lagos mainland local government. He left the job and took on music full time. Highlife's 'Evil Genius' Bornin Calabar, southern Nigeria in 1930 FormedCool Cats band in 1954 Performedat Nigeria’s independence ball in 1960 Renamed Cool Cats to All Stars Band in 1963 Awarded Order of the Niger in 2009 Retired from music because of failing health in 2017 Born to wealthy Yoruba parents in the southern city of Calabar, Olaiya had an early start in music. His father was a church organist and his mother a folk singer from the western city of Oyo. He was also influenced by Caribbean calypso and included the popular song Sly Mongoose in his repertoire that he recalled first hearing when he was nine years old. As a teenager, though, he was taught Western classical music, and played the clarinet and French horn in his school orchestra in eastern Nigeria. Years later, wielding his gold trumpet and dabbing his face with a white handkerchief, Olaiya would perform a new type of music in Nigeria that would go on to inspire a young Fela Anikulapo-Kuti among others. After his secondary school, Olaiya moved to Lagos where he joined the Lagos City Orchestra and then the band of composer Sammy Akpabot, playing ballroom music for wealthy urban audiences. But it was as the head of Bobby Benson's Alfa Carnival Group that his talent would be properly nurtured. Benson took a number of musicians under his wing and it was here that Olaiya polished the skills that would help him form his own band, the Cool Cats. Listening to the recordings now, the gentle swinging rhythm and the prominence of the horn section, you sense a sepia tinge to Olaiya's songs. They evoke memories of the fading British Empire and transition to independence, conjuring up images of afro hair combed into a dome, of middle-class Nigerians appearing overdressed in tuxedos and gowns with a cigarette neatly tucked between the fingers. By the late 1950s, the colonial administrators were on their way out and a young generation of educated Africans was about to take over. As the disco bars and ballrooms gradually thinned out of the British and their music, in stepped the elite class of Africans seeking that same high life but fused with their own culture. And the bands responded to satisfy their new patrons, incorporating local rhythms and melodies into their repertoire. You may also like: The songs were romantic and the lyrics, which to today's eyes appear sexist, often used erotic imagery. Olaiya's 1961 track Adelebo Tonwoku (Single Lady Looking for a Husband) says that if a woman, referred to as \"Cinderella shaking her buttocks\", finds a husband she should \"forgo education\". As a musical term, highlife was first used in Ghana in the 1920s to describe a band playing a fusion of foreign and local instruments driven by multiple guitars and horns. Olaiya's influence came from Ghana, as he was a keen admirer of the Tempo band of highlife legend ET Mensah, who toured Nigeria multiple times from 1951. When Olaiya formed his Cool Cats band, he adopted Mensah's style and had Ghanaian Sammy Lartey as saxophonist. Years later, Olaiya and Mensah would release a joint album. In bombastic style, Olaiya was once described by a newspaper editor as \"the evil genius of highlife\", perhaps because once someone heard his music it was impossible not to dance. His music became so popular that in 1960 he played at the party to celebrate Nigeria's independence in front of Queen Elizabeth's sister, Princess Margaret. Fela comes to Olaiya Olaiya was a multi-linguist and sang in Twi, Igbo, Efik, Pidgin and Yoruba and his band would go on to serve as a training ground for musicians who would revolutionise music in Africa. Chief among those that interned with Olaiya was Fela, creator of the Afrobeat genre and arguably Nigeria's most influential musician. Fresh from secondary school in 1957, Fela spent time playing with Olaiya's Cool Cats in Lagos and headed another of the maestro's bands. Olaiya recognised a prodigy and gave him a platform, in the same way that he had been supported by Benson. Fela's drummer, Tony Allen, was also among those who played with Olaiya. Other notable musicians that passed through his band were guitar wizard Victor Uwaifo, juju musician Dele Ojo and saxophonist Yinusa Akinnibosun. By 1970, under the influence of James Brown, Olaiya had branched into soul and funk music. His Up-to-Date Mover album of that year included five tracks co-written with Brown. But Olaiya will forever be associated with highlife, and this gradually faded from the scene until the genre became a stacked collection of dusty vinyl for senior citizens who hung onto the memories of an era when \"things were good\". The Cool Cats were no longer cool, as first Fela's Afrobeat and later Afro hop swept succeeding generations off their feet. Olaiya tried to keep up in later decades by doing things like shooting music videos but he never looked comfortable with the format. He was used to the disco bars, the big orchestra and the larger-than-life bands performing for dandy crowds. Recognised by a later generation There were attempts to introduce his music to a new audience. In 2013, Tuface Idibia, a music legend in his own right, remixed Olaiya's Baby Jowo. It was a homage to another era but only underlined how things had changed. A handful of highlife musicians are still scattered in the eastern and western parts of Nigeria but their tunes are now mostly heard at funerals. When Olaiya is laid to rest, perhaps a band led by an immaculately turned out trumpeter will be at the front of the procession? And when he is lowered into the ground, it may be more than flesh that is returning to dust. The highlife music he pioneered may just be buried along with him.",

In a new report, the rural economy committee urged ministers to \"clarify\" and strengthen a series of provisions. Major changes to the bill are already planned, with a new workplace parking levy to be added at stage two already raising controversy with MSPs. The committee warned that it will be \"essential\" for them to scrutinise the parking levy amendment in full, which may see the passage of the bill prolonged. The transport bill was published in June 2018, outlining plans for changes to halt a decline in bus passenger numbers. It includes plans to give local councils and regional transport partnerships (RTPs) more flexibility to improve services, either by working with bus companies or by stepping in and running services themselves. It also provides for a ban on double parking and parking on pavements, powers for enforcing low-emission zones in cities and new regulations overseeing roadworks. While recommending that MSPs pass the bill at stage one, the committee outlined a lengthy series of concerns and recommendations for changes when the bill comes back to them for stage two. These include: The committee also said they were \"concerned\" that plans to give councils the power to levy a workplace parking tax are only to be added to the bill at stage two. They said it was \"essential\" they were given time to fully scrutinise the potential impact of these plans, which have dominated much of the debate of the budget deal between the SNP and the Greens. 'Greater clarity' Committee convener Edward Mountain said: \"Having listened to a wide-range of evidence from stakeholders and individuals, the committee supports the general principles of the Bill which considers a number of different transport elements, including smart ticketing, low emission zones, pavement parking restrictions and tools intended to help improve bus services. \"However, greater clarity is required on a number of issues as the bill continues its parliamentary passage.\" Opposition parties have described the bill as a \"missed opportunity\", and are planning amendments of their own. A spokesman for Transport Scotland welcomed the committee report, saying the bill \"aims to improve journeys for people across the country by developing cleaner, smarter and more accessible network\". He added: \"We are confident the bill will empower local authorities and establish consistent standards where required, and also give them means to address local transport needs as appropriate. \"It is a broad piece of legislation and we will now go on to consider this report in more detail to establish where individual points can be addressed.\"",

His father Rajiv Gandhi, grandmother Indira Gandhi and great grandfather Jawaharlal Nehru have all served as prime ministers of India. The demonstrations in Uttar Pradesh's Greater Noida area are the latest in a series of protests in the country over attempts to acquire land for industry or infrastructure development. Correspondents say the issue of land acquisition is highly sensitive as about 65% of India's population is dependent on farming. According to law, government can requisition any private land for a \"public purpose\".

Mr Gandhi was taken into \"preventative custody\" after he sat all day with angry farmers in villages in Uttar Pradesh near the capital, Delhi. \"I feel ashamed to call myself Indian after seeing what has happened here. The [state] government here has unleashed atrocities on its own people,\" he told the farmers. The state government, led by Chief Minister Mayawati of the regional Bahujan Samaj Party, says the farmers have been given generous compensation. But farmers say that compensation has been inadequate. Campaigners say that in recent years there have been instances where the government has acquired land for the benefit of private corporations, commercial interests and profits.

He blamed Barack Obama's administration for a \"bad deal\" despite the fact the move was agreed under George W Bush. The trip was not the controversial full state visit offered by Theresa May, for which no date has yet been set. Downing Street said no date has been confirmed for any visit by Mr Trump and that the opening of the US embassy \"is a matter for the US\". The \"strong and deep\" partnership between Britain and the US \"will endure\" despite Mr Trump's cancellation, a spokesman added. However, Mayor of London Sadiq Khan - who has clashed with the president in the past - said the US president had \"got the message\" that many Londoners were staunchly opposed to his policies and actions. BBC North America editor Jon Sopel said he suspected the possibility of protests in London would have also weighed in the calculation. The US embassy move was confirmed in October 2008, when President George W Bush was still in the White House. It was moved from its Mayfair site because it was too small to put in the modern security it needed, the BBC's diplomatic correspondent James Landale said. However, Mr Trump blamed former president Mr Obama's administration for selling \"perhaps the best located and finest embassy in London for peanuts\". Mr Trump also criticised the location of the new building in Vauxhall, south London, as an \"off location\", adding: \"Wanted me to cut ribbon-NO!\" The BBC's North America editor said February's planned visit could have included meetings with Mrs May at Chequers or Downing Street and lunch with the Queen. However, no firm date for the visit had ever been agreed, nor had the White House \"nailed down the details of the trip\", James Lansdale added. Is the UK a priority for Trump? By BBC diplomatic correspondent James Landale Donald Trump says that he is not coming to open the new US embassy in London because he is not a fan of the building. Some diplomats suggest the president was unimpressed by the low key nature of the proposed trip, shorn of the pomp and bling he expected. Others say the White House was worried about the scale of the public protests that were threatened. But amid all this is the nagging fear that the real reason is that Mr Trump just does not see the UK as a priority. In his first year of office, he has visited most other G7 countries and several European nations, including Belgium, so the absence of Britain from his itinerary stands out. Of course, trips - like tweets - can be easily remedied, and a visit by Mr Trump later this year could in theory dispel the fears. But with the UK at odds with the US on an increasing numbers of issues, from Iran to Jerusalem, the lack of a visit carries greater symbolic weight. The ribbon-cutting ceremony may instead be hosted by US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson. Mr Trump accepted the Queen's invitation for an official state visit when the prime minister met him last year. A petition calling for the invitation to be withdrawn was signed by more than 1.8m people, while the issue was also debated in parliament. Reports in June suggested Mr Trump wanted to delay a potential visit amid concerns about large-scale protests. However, the BBC understands Downing Street is considering options for the visit later in the year. A former British ambassador to the United States, Christopher Meyer, told BBC Radio 4's World at One he would be \"surprised\" if the US president visited the UK in his first term. Mr Meyer said: \"It would be so difficult to manage from a security point of view [and] from a public point of view if he remained as unpopular among the British people at large as he is now.\" Speaking last month, US ambassador to the UK Woody Johnson told the BBC he \"absolutely\" expected Mr Trump to visit Britain in 2018. During the Queen's Speech at the State Opening of Parliament last summer, there was no mention of a visit - although a Downing Street spokesman said an invitation had been \"extended and accepted\". Mrs May was the first foreign leader to meet Mr Trump after his inauguration when she visited the Oval Office in January 2017. Typically during state visits, the government, the visiting government and the royal household agree on a detailed schedule where the Queen acts as the official host. The cancellation comes after recent disagreements between the US and UK. Mr Trump clashed with Mayor of London Sadiq Khan in the aftermath of the London Bridge attack last year, when he questioned Mr Khan's statement that there was \"no reason to be alarmed\". Mr Khan, who also questioned Mr Trump's proposed US travel ban, said the US president's visit would \"without doubt have been met by mass peaceful protests\". However, Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson accused Mr Khan and Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn of putting the UK's \"crucial relationship\" with the US at risk by opposing the visit. A No 10 spokesman said the tweet was \"political\" rather than representing the views of government. Relations between London and Washington were also put under the spotlight last year after Mr Trump moved to recognise Jerusalem as Israel's capital. Mrs May said she disagreed with that US decision, which she deemed \"unhelpful in terms of prospects for peace in the region\". And in November, Mr Trump clashed with Mrs May after she said it was \"wrong\" for the US president to share videos posted by the far-right group Britain First. Mrs May more recently discussed Brexit and events in the Middle East in a pre-Christmas phone call with Mr Trump.",

In addition, parents can now set time limits on when requests are responded to, and can block some services. The move has been welcomed by one of Alexa's critics. In January, the research company ChildWise published a report warning that youngsters that grew up accustomed to barking orders at Alexa, Google Assistant or some other virtual personality might become aggressive in later dealings with humans. \"This is a very positive development,\" research director Simon Leggett told the BBC. \"We had noticed that practically none of the children that we had talked to said they ever used the words 'please' or 'thank you' when talking to their devices. \"Younger children will enjoy having the added interactivity, but older children may be less likely to use it as they will be more aware it's a robot at the other end.\" For now, the new facilities have been announced only in the US, where they will become available on 9 May via a software update. 'You're welcome' The politeness feature - which has been branded Magic Word - encourages children to say: \"Please,\" and: \"Thank you,\" by acknowledging use of the terms. So, for example, if the child asks: \"What will the weather be today please?\" Alexa will add to its response: \"Thanks for asking so nicely.\" Likewise, once Alexa has completed a task, if the child says: \"Thank you,\" it will prompt one of several follow-ups, including \"No worries,\" and \"You're welcome.\" Toymaker Mattel had previously considered going further, with its aborted smart-speaker, Aristotle. In 2017, it had proposed a machine that would complete tasks only if the word \"please\" were included. Amazon, however, said it had been advised that this approach would backfire. \"We talked to third-party child development experts as we were building this feature,\" a spokeswoman told the BBC. \"They said that if you are going to try and offer them guidance, then positive reinforcement is the best way to do that as it's not punitive. \"They had found that saying, 'You will not get this if you do not say please,' is not useful with kids and doesn't work.\" She added that Amazon intended to see how parents and children reacted to the feature, and if it was welcomed would probably extend its capabilities. Exclusive skills The good manners facility is part of a host of new child-centric tools unveiled for Alexa - some of which will require a subscription fee. The basic \"free\" FreeTime package includes the abilities to: A $2.99 (£2.15) monthly fee unlocks added functions, including: This offers a way for the company to make money from its Echo smart-speakers, which it sells for roughly the same price they cost to develop and manufacture. In addition, Alexa's voice-recognition software has been tweaked to account for the fact children have higher-pitched voices than adults, and will soon respond to \"Awexa\" to help those that cannot yet pronounce the letter L. \"It is commendable that Amazon is trying to get kids to say their please and thank yous, but for most parents it will be the content controls and other kid-centric features that will be the most appealing aspect of the new offering,\" said Ben Wood, a technology consultant at CCS Insight.

About 335,000 students in England, Wales and Northern Ireland have been receiving their results - with many finding out whether they have made the grade for university. Students in England will be the first intake to face fees of up to £9,000. Although girls have continued to outperform boys for getting A grades - this year saw boys narrowly ahead of girls at achieving the highest A* grades - 8% compared with 7.9%. Within the UK, the biggest drop in the top A* and A grades was in Northern Ireland - down from 34.5% to 31.9%. Making the grade The figures published by the Joint Council for Qualifications also show that the overall pass rate has risen again for the 30th successive year. The results also revealed a continuing fall in the numbers of pupils taking modern languages - with French, Spanish and German in decline - by 5.2%, 3.4% and 7.6% respectively. \"There is a crisis here in modern foreign languages,\" said Andrew Hall, chief executive of exam board AQA. But there has been an increase in the numbers taking maths and science subjects - with Schools Minister Nick Gibb welcoming that the \"number of students pursuing rigorous subjects such as maths and physics continues to rise\". Numbers taking maths rose 3.3%, while there was a 5% rise for physics. Labour's education spokesman, Stephen Twigg, said: \"These impressive results are thanks to better teaching, better school leadership and Labour's relentless focus on literacy and numeracy and record investment in schools.\" The exam boards have also published the first indications of how the results of independent schools compare with other state schools and further education colleges. This showed that 50% of entries in independent schools achieved A* or A grade, while 23% achieved these top grades in state schools and colleges. Many students have also been learning whether or not they have gained a university place. Admissions service Ucas says 362,000 students have now been accepted for university courses this year, down 8% compared with this stage last year. Figures published on Thursday evening also show that about 94,000 applicants are still awaiting decisions. Despite a dip in applications this year, Universities Minister David Willetts said the long-term expansion in university numbers would continue. \"There is a long-term trend for more and more people to aspire to go to university and for more and more employers to look to employ people with higher education qualifications and I personally don't think, taking the long view, that trend has suddenly stopped,\" said Mr Willetts. Room at the top As well as rising tuition fees, this year also sees changes aimed at increasing competition for students between England's universities. Universities can take an unlimited number of students with top grades (AAB or higher) - although not all universities plan to use this flexibility. The results in numbers There have been scholarships of up to £2,000 offered by universities to recruit such AAB students - and applications are still being invited. But some of those expanding for AAB students are limiting these places to existing applicants. Brian Lightman, head of the Association of School and College Leaders, has linked the lower level of acceptances this year to this change - suggesting that it might be pupils who have just missed out on gaining these AAB grades. The slight fall in A-level top grades will add to the debate about so-called \"grade inflation\". This year's results show a small fall in the proportion of top grades awarded in England and Wales - but a larger fall in Northern Ireland. This has been attributed to a wider group of pupils staying in school and taking A-levels in Northern Ireland. Northern Ireland still had the highest proportion of A* and A grades - 31.9%. England's top grades dipped by 0.3% to 26.5%, Wales also fell by 0.3% to 23.6%. Grade inflation Since 2010, England's exams watchdog Ofqual has been telling exam boards they have to account fully for any upward movement in grades - to show there was real improvement in performance. Teachers' leaders, exam bodies and others maintain that grades have improved over the years because students are better taught and are working harder, but critics dispute that. At a news conference on Thursday, exam board heads insisted that this had not led to the slight fall in top grades awarded. They said the change was probably related to a different make-up of students this year: while the number of 18-year-olds is down on last year, more of them did A-levels, so the ability-range is wider, they argue. Ziggy Liaquat, managing director of the Edexcel board, said the fall was \"marginal\", adding \"the standard needed to reach an A grade has not changed\". The results are for A and AS-level exams taken by pupils in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Pupils in Scotland got the results of their Highers and Standard Grades earlier this month and there was a record pass rate for Highers. While many teenagers will head out to work or other training, more than half of UK A-level students will opt to go on to university. The rise in tuition fees for many has been followed by a fall in university applications - particularly for England - but competition for places is still expected to be fierce. Mr Willetts said he hoped the changes had not deterred students. Students applying to England's universities will be liable for fees up to a maximum of £9,000 a year. The Welsh Government will meet the extra cost for its students wherever they study in the UK and students from Scotland will continue to pay no fees at Scottish universities. Students in Northern Ireland who stay there to study will not face an increase in fees. Universities in Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland are all charging higher fees to students from other parts of the UK.",

IOPC regional director Sarah Green said: \"We have now concluded our detailed investigation into the very serious allegation that Shaun Wright committed perjury when he gave evidence to HASC in 2014. \"I have given this matter very careful consideration and, on the basis of the evidence we have gathered, I have determined that the report does not indicate that a criminal offence may have been committed. \"Therefore, we will not refer the matter to the Director of Public Prosecutions to consider whether any criminal charges should be brought.\" Mr Wright was the Police and Crime Commissioner for South Yorkshire from 2012 until his resignation in 2014.

            "input": "By Rachel SchraerBBC News Here, we unpick what it reveals about the priorities, thoughts and policy-by-whiteboard scramble of the government, as it tried to react to the fast-developing crisis. The key names Some key names of people involved were listed at the top of the whiteboard. Among them were Mr Johnson, chief scientific and medical advisers Sir Patrick Vallance and Chris Whitty, Mr Cummings, and Ben Warner, a data scientist brought in from the Vote Leave campaign. On 13 March, some of them met to draw up a plan. The \"plan\" referred to here is presumably the government's strategy published on 3 March, to \"contain\", \"delay\" and then \"mitigate\" the epidemic. Focusing on hand hygiene and isolating people with symptoms, it only advised social distancing if the virus became \"established\". Plan shows 4,000 a day dying But this scribble on a whiteboard, dated less than a fortnight after the \"action plan\" was published, seems to capture a moment of dawning realisation. The government's gradual approach - only acting once the data showed cases had already spread - would allow an unacceptable number of deaths. Not only this, but an estimated 4,000 people a day dying of Covid would spell \"collapse\" for the NHS, which would be left unable to treat other, non-Covid, patients. Though the government's plan, dubbed Plan A, would, according to these notes, prevent a huge unchecked spike in deaths, it would not push them down to a level with which the NHS could cope. Full lockdown Plan B - a full lockdown - would leave \"roughly the same number\" of people infected in the long run, but without the health service falling over. At this stage the small number of cases in the UK was said to render a full lockdown disproportionate. Mr Cummings now says there was a failure to follow the example of east Asian countries like Taiwan and Singapore, which brought in tough measures before a problem could develop. Social contact rules We can see from this board that on 13 March deliberations were taking place over what potential future restrictions might look like - and what legal force would be put behind them. And there was an example closer to home of what happened when you didn't act until cases of the virus had spread. Around the time the whiteboard plan was written, experts advising government began to talk of the UK as being two to three weeks behind Italy in terms of cases. That's the time it took for a handful of cases to turn into a full-blown emergency with hospitals on the brink of collapse. The notes alongside this description of the so-called Plan B - \"full lockdown\" - make it clear Plan A, the government's current course, wasn't seen as enough to prevent the UK going the same way. What about shielding? The decision which would keep 60-odd million people in their homes for the best part of a year and shutter thousands of businesses appears as one sentence on the whiteboard: \"Lockdown = everyone stays home, pubs etc close\". But the issue of shielding the clinically vulnerable in their homes, and making sure they could get food and medicine, is no more than a bracketed aside - (who looks after the people who can't survive alone??). In evidence to the parliamentary inquiry on Wednesday, Mr Cummings said there was no plan for this group of people, with some officials unwilling to publish the number of a newly set-up shielding hotline because there was nothing to offer those who called. Beneath the statement \"everyone stays home\", another footnote appears which would prove a matter of life or death for hundreds in essential jobs: \"[except critical infrastructure people]\". No vaccine in 2020 This assumption - which in the end turned out to not quite be true - was probably influential in decisions around lockdowns. The prospect of an interminable shutdown with no vaccination coming to the rescue may have encouraged advisers to consider other options. The flawed idea that you could let the virus rip through the healthy population and therefore achieve \"herd immunity\" - where enough people have protection from the virus and so it dies out - took hold. It was first explicitly discussed in public by Sir Patrick the day the whiteboard meeting took place. It had been mentioned a few days earlier by David Halpern, a behavioural psychologist with no expertise in immunology. In reality, by December 2020 only about 10% of people in England had protective Covid antibodies, and nearly 100,000 were dead. What about the app? The idea of surviving the year without a vaccine is reflected elsewhere on the board - the need for a \"crash programme\" to quickly buy in ventilators and build up testing capacity is noted, while just the word \"app\" floats unattached in the middle. This context-free reference could be to the NHS contact tracing app, which was seen as playing an important role in helping to control the virus after lockdowns ended - a role it never really lived up to. Who do we not save? The final line of the board is the starkest - the question of who would not be saved if the NHS came under threat. While the NHS avoided being completely overwhelmed, this is not just a hypothetical scenario. Even with lockdown, campaigners have raised the alarm over claims some care homes and learning disability services placed blanket \"do not resuscitate\" orders on all of their residents. Care home residents were discharged from hospitals to infect their neighbours, in order to free up beds. Nevertheless, this prospect of doctors having to make snap decisions about who lived or died if oxygen ran out - the horrors currently being suffered in India - may well ultimately have tipped the scales in favour of a lockdown.

            "input": "Environment Secretary Richard Lochhead said it was time to tackle nearly 20m tonnes of waste currently produced by Scotland every year. The zero waste plan includes tough new recycling and landfill targets over the next 15 years. But some environmentalists say it could lead to the construction of a wave of new incinerators across Scotland. New measures will include landfill bans for specific types of waste and separate collections of some waste to boost re-use and recycling opportunities. A new 70% target has been set for all waste to be recycled by 2025 and a maximum 5% target for all waste to be sent to landfill by the same year. Speaking at the official launch in Edinburgh, Mr Lochhead said the zero waste plan would also help deliver progressive landfill bans. It is hoped that no waste with re-use or recycling potential will be placed in landfill by 2020. He also argued that the plan could deliver major benefits to the economy as well as the environment. \"Scotland is embarking on the zero waste journey to protect our environment and help our economy. We can't go on as business as usual because we can't afford to and because resources are finite,\" he said. \"In recent years, the people of Scotland have made substantial progress in cutting waste but households, businesses and wider society still produce enough waste to fill an Olympic-size swimming pool every 10 minutes.\" The plan drew a mixed response from environmentalists and analysts. Environmental impact Mark O'Dowd, a solicitor with international law firm, HBJ Gateley Wareing, said that in order to meet Scottish government and European Union objectives, £6.5bn would have to be spent up to 2025 to deliver a zero waste target. \"What is required is clear investment on next generation infrastructure, in the likes of energy from waste plants, recycling plants and an overhaul of rubbish collections, as well as improving grid connections,\" he said. He said the planning system would need to be streamlined and failure to achieve the statutory targets would have a damaging environmental impact and would hit the taxpayer hard through EU fines. Scottish local authorities welcomed the publication of the plan. But some environmentalists said they were concerned at the prospect of more incinerators being built. Green MSP Robin Harper told BBC Scotland he believed a zero waste strategy could be achieved but he remained worried that a 25% cap on incineration of waste could \"turn into a target\". He added: \"For every tonne of waste we could make about £600 in recycled products if we could get all the system working. If we burn it, we are only going to get £20 worth of electricity out of it.\"",

The BBC understands the Kachin state government negotiated their passage. The vigilantes then engaged in skirmishes with farmers who have vowed to protect their fields. Myanmar has promised to eradicate opium production, but growing and smuggling the drug remains a key source of income for farmers, rebel groups, militia and the Burmese army. Who are Pat Jasan? Myanmar launched a 15-year plan to stamp out cultivation in 1999 - a deadline since extended to 2019. In recent years, Myanmar's army has clashed with ethnic minority rebels in Shan and Kachin states where poppy production is widespread. The army, rebels and militias have been accused of taking a poppy tax from farmers. Opium has traditionally been used as a medicine to treat diarrhoea, dysentery and other ailments. But over the last decade commercial poppy production has taken hold in Myanmar, with demand from China, but also Australia and Japan, helping to fuel this trend. The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) said in its Southeast Asia Opium Survey 2015 that the opium poppy grown in Myanmar and Laos had been refined into about 73.1 tonnes to 82.3 tonnes of street-quality heroin. It noted that transnational organised crime groups were making huge profits from the product. Until the end of the 20th Century, Myanmar, which was part of the so-called \"Golden Triangle\" with neighbouring Laos and Thailand, was the largest supplier of opium.

But over the years, the skeleton became neglected and many bones were taken for \"souvenirs\". Now the hall wants to restore the whale \"to the manner in which it would have been seen by Herman Melville\". The appeal was made as the hall prepares to mark the birth bicentenary of Melville, who wrote about the skeleton in his 1851 book. More East Yorkshire stories The 58ft-long mammal washed up at Tunstall in 1825 and was dissected on the beach by Hull doctor James Alderson, who presented his findings to the Royal Cambridge Philosophical Society. Sir Clifford Constable had the skeleton mounted in Burton Constable's parkland in the 1830s, where it was viewed by scientists, writers and tourists. 'Swing on his lower jaw' At a place in Yorkshire, England, Burton Constable by name, a certain Sir Clifford Constable has in his possession the skeleton of a sperm whale… Sir Clifford's whale has been articulated throughout; so that, like a great chest of drawers, you can open and shut him, in all his bony cavities - spread out his ribs like a gigantic fan - and swing all day upon his lower jaw. From Moby Dick, by Herman Melville (1851) Curator Philippa Wood said the whale skeleton \"mouldered away in parkland\" and was played on by local children. It was rescued \"in a very poor state\" in the 1990s, and now the Burton Constable Foundation wants to fully restore it. \"Some parts were definitely taken over the years as souvenirs,\" Ms Wood said. \"We want to further conserve this historically-significant specimen for future generations\". Eleven of 44 vertebrae are missing, many of them small bones near the tail but one is \"fairly large and significant\". Much of the left flipper has also gone. Ms Wood said: \"Having the original authentic bones is much preferable than having to 3D print them. \"We'd like anyone with bones in their safekeeping to return them.\" She said the conservation would be time-consuming and most bones would need to be taken for cleaning and repairs. \"If the bones allow we'd like to have it mounted with metal armature in keeping with how it would have originally been displayed in the mid-19th-century,\" she added.

Directors UK represents more than 6,000 British screen directors. The group campaigns for the rights, working conditions and status of directors in the industry. Statistics show BAME directors make up 3.5% of the directing community, despite 14% of the UK population coming from BAME backgrounds. The report - Adjusting the Colour Balance - focused on the number of BAME directors employed in the five key genres of UK television: factual, drama, children's, comedy and multi-camera/entertainment. 'Equal opportunities' Research was based on a large sample of the most popular and significant programmes made in-house at the BBC and ITV, and by the top nine independent production companies. Statistics revealed that just 0.18% among the most popular comedy shows broadcast in 2013 were made by BAME directors - where 99.82% of directors were white. The highest figure was in factual, where just 2.46% of programmes were made by BAME directors. Further analysis at sub-genre level found there were areas such as period drama and game shows where there was no evidence of BAME directors being employed. \"Everyone, at every level across all genres, has a significant role to play to ensure that all directors have equal opportunities,\" said Andrew Chowns, CEO of Directors UK. \"Our report reaffirms the need for broadcasters, as industry leaders, to work together with us and the wider industry to create new opportunities for progression and change.\" Predominantly white Many BAME directors reported that, in comparison to their white peers, their careers often took significantly longer to progress and that access to employment opportunities were far more limited . Directors UK carried out a number of in-depth interviews with BAME members of the industry to better understand what lies behind the issues and how to tackle them. The feedback suggested there was a widely-held perception that television production in Britain was a predominantly white industry. A high proportion of BAME directors interviewed were given their first break into television through the publicly-funded broadcasters BBC and Channel 4. \"We are talking about British directors from BAME backgrounds whose experiences growing up in this country offer a different take on story-telling, a different perspective, but a voice that is valid which is effectively being shut out,\" said Menhaj Huda. \"It's great that the industry is talking about the issue of diversity but discussion does not equal action.\"",

Maureen McCarron said a soldier, known only as Sergeant O, should now be prosecuted. The Telegraph has reported Sergeant O could face an attempted murder charge. The new head of the UK armed forces said on Friday he would not allow British soldiers to be \"chased\" by people making \"vexatious claims\" about their conduct in the Troubles. Chief of the Defence Staff General Sir Nick Carter told the BBC serving and former service personnel should face action for \"genuine\" wrongdoing, but said groundless cases \"will not happen on my watch\". Brain injury Thirteen people were shot dead on Bloody Sunday. The 76-year-old former soldier is alleged to have fired the shot that struck masonry that injured Mr McCarron and another protestor. The Saville Inquiry report found that Mr McCarron and Patrick McDaid were injured by debris sent flying by shots fired as they were attempting to run away from the south-eastern area of the Rossville Flats car park. A year after he was injured, Mr McCarron suffered a brain haemorrhage. His family believe that is directly linked to the injuries he sustained on Bloody Sunday. Mr McCarron's daughter Maureen told BBC Radio Foyle: \"Everyone says daddy was left the way he was because of Bloody Sunday. \"We know deep down it was Bloody Sunday, he was bleeding that day from the ears and that indicates brain damage, a brain injury.\" She said the brain haemorrhage changed her father. He became \"a very different man\" who was prone to lashing out, said Ms McCarron. \"Even my daddy knew he was not the man he was supposed to be,\" she said. Ms McCarron said prosecuting Sergeant O was the right thing to do. \"That masonry that bounced off that wall and hit my father's head was caused by Soldier O. I think he should be prosecuted. \"It was his decision to pull that trigger, to fire that bullet, and he should face the consequences.\" \"We want justice. But I don't think my family will ever get justice for what happened to my father.\" The BBC has contacted Sergeant O's solicitor but has yet to receive a response. Sergeant O was interviewed by police under caution for attempted murder more than two years ago over events at Bloody Sunday.

Davidson admitted murdering the retired restaurant owner - killed in a machete and hammer attack - and was jailed for life with a minimum term of 23 years. Mr Lucas told MPs that Mr Churton - described in court as physically frail and disabled - had \"complained a number of times to the police about Jordan Davidson\" after the younger man's release, and that Davidson had known this. \"In March of 2017, just four months after being released on licence, Davidson was arrested for another offence of possession of a knife,\" the MP continued. \"He was, nonetheless, released by the police on bail without even a court appearance.\" Mr Lucas claimed that changes to the probation system in 2014-15 \"contributed to the failure of supervision that led to the release of Jordan Davidson, to the assaults on a number of victims and to the death of Nicholas Churton\". The MP said he was also angry that North Wales Police had refused to meet him to discuss the matter. Two investigations are ongoing into how police dealt with the case. 'Disgraceful and despicable' Responding for the UK government, Ms Atkins said a review by the Wales Community Rehabilitation Company (CRC) \"identified a number of areas where the practice of those concerned with the monitoring of Mr Davidson fell below expected standards\". \"There were significant failings,\" Ms Atkins added, saying the prison and probation service was now overseeing the implementation of \"improved actions\" following the review. The minister said the probation system reforms meant an extra 40,000 offenders were being monitored after their release but she claimed fewer were re-offending. However, she added: \"The Ministry of Justice accepts that there have been challenges and that CRC services need to improve. \"So they are in discussions with the providers at the moment and will consider all options to ensure this improvement is delivered. \"That is, of course, no comfort to the family of Mr Churton.\" North Wales Police's Assistant Chief Constable Richard Debicki said: \"This was a disgraceful and despicable act perpetrated by Davidson - my heart goes out to Mr Churton's family, who live with the consequences of this offender's terrible actions. \"North Wales Police referred itself to the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) following the conclusion of the case and while the IOPC investigation continues, it would be inappropriate to discuss the case with individuals or the wider public.\"",

The Sky Q coverage will be limited to the men's and ladies' singles semi-final and final matches and will be delivered via satellite rather than the internet. Users will be given the option to access the Ultra HD feed via a pop-up message. Brighter, sharper The term 4K refers to the fact that an image contains four times as many pixels as a 1080p high definition picture. This can reveal details that would otherwise be difficult to pick out. During Wimbledon, this could potentially make it easier to see whether close-call shots are in or out and help viewers recognise famous faces in the crowd. HDR takes advantage of the fact modern TVs can go brighter and/or darker than they used to, providing a greater dynamic range. It can help reveal detail in the shadows and prevent highlights from \"blowing out\". In addition, HDR adopts a \"wider colour space\", meaning millions more colours can be displayed if the screen used is classed as \"10-bit\" or above. At Wimbledon, late-day games - when shadows can creep across courts creating exposure problems if other parts are still bathed in sunlight - in particular should benefit from HDR's better handling of contrast. For movies and drama-based TV shows, many experts have judged HDR to offer the greater benefit over 4K. But Mr Archer said he had found the opposite to be true during the World Cup tests, at least on larger screens. \"Detail and sharpness have been hugely superior to the HD broadcast streams, making the action feel more immediate and much less tiring to watch,\" he said. \"Being able to see more of the pitch via the 4K camera is also a great feature for serious football fans. \"The use of HDR has been quite subtle by comparison, but has still undoubtedly enhanced the sense of 'being there' that's so important when you're watching sport.\" The Wimbledon Championships begin on 2 July.",

Now in its 11th year, previous winners include Michael Kiwanuka, Jessie J, Adele, Mika, Ellie Goulding and Keane. BBC Radio 1 DJ Huw Stephens said Haim had a \"contagious enthusiasm\". \"Haim have an unapologetic passion for music that shines in their songs,\" he said. \"They're brilliant musicians who have a real talent for tunes that merge their tales of growing up in the 21st Century with a classic songwriting ability.\" The sisters have already supported British artists Florence and the Machine and Mumford and Sons live. Este, Danielle and Alana Haim, who are aged between 21 and 26, started playing music as children when their parents enlisted them into a family covers band. The sisters all play guitar, drums and sing and are still occasionally known to pull their mother and father on stage. Haim's songs pay homage to feelgood, freewheeling '70s rock and anthemic '80s synth-pop, gaining a modern sheen by borrowing rhythms from contemporary R&B. The 213 tastemakers - ranging from music magazine editors and newspaper critics to influential bloggers, DJs and radio and TV producers - each named their favourite three new acts. They were free to choose performers from any country and any musical genre. Artists who had scored a UK top 20 single or album before 11 November 2012 were ineligible, as were those already well-known to the UK public - for example by featuring in the final stages of a TV talent show or already being a member of a successful band. The tips were compiled into a longlist of the top 15 artists, which was published in December, and the top five have been revealed this week. In second place were London R&B duo AlunaGeorge, with uncompromising New York-based rapper Angel Haze in third. Birmingham soul singer Laura Mvula was fourth and Glasgow electro-pop outfit Chvrches completed the top five. It is the first time that the top five acts have all been female or fronted by women. Este Haim said: \"It's the craziest thing to think we're on a list with so many amazing artists. This year the five bands that were in the list were all female fronted, right? \"We love the UK - the last time we were there, we were there for almost a month and a half. The UK is like a second home.\" NME magazine's new music editor Matt Wilkinson, who took part in the poll, said Haim \"have a knack for writing amazingly catchy singles, they're a killer live band and they talk the talk miles better than most other new bands\". \"It's a rare and exciting combination,\" he added. Michael Kiwanuka was top of the Sound of 2012 list. The London troubadour sold 500,000 copies of his debut album Home Again around the world last year and was nominated for the Mercury Prize. The other previous winners are: Jessie J (Sound of 2011), Ellie Goulding (Sound of 2010), Little Boots (Sound of 2009), Adele (Sound of 2008), Mika (Sound of 2007), Corinne Bailey Rae (Sound of 2006), The Bravery (Sound of 2005), Keane (Sound of 2004) and 50 Cent (Sound of 2003). Other artists in the top five in previous years include Frank Ocean (Sound of 2012), The Vaccines (Sound of 2011), Marina and the Diamonds (Sound of 2010), Florence and the Machine (Sound of 2009), Foals (Sound of 2008) and Plan B (Sound of 2006).",

            "input": "By Deborah CohenBBC Newsnight The document also says while more restrictions could be re-introduced, schools would likely remain open. But it says the report \"is a scenario, not a prediction\" and the data are subject to \"significant uncertainty\". However some are critical of the modelling and say some of it is already out of date. The document, which has been seen by BBC Newsnight, was prepared for the government by the Sage scientific advisory group, which aims to help the NHS and local authorities plan services, such as mortuaries and burial services, for the winter months ahead. Among its key assumptions are that schools will remain open and that the government's tracing, isolation, and quarantine measures will only be 40% effective in cutting the spread of Covid outside households. It also states that by November \"policy measures would be put in place to reduce non-household contacts to half of their normal pre March 2020 levels\". In other words, restrictions to mitigate the impact - other than school closures - could be put in place. According to the report these measures might be expected to remain in place until March 2021. The model attempts to calculate excess deaths in England and Wales between July 2020 to March 2021. These are deaths over and above what would normally be expected during that period and are based on ONS data. The model has been adjusted to account for people who would have been expected to die because they have other illnesses. It said in England and Wales there could be 81,000 excess deaths due to Covid, plus 27,000 excess deaths from non-Covid causes. In Scotland there could be 2,600 direct Covid deaths, and 1,900 in Northern Ireland. In addition to excess deaths, the model also suggests how many people may need hospital treatment between November and March, including intensive care. The figures, which the scientists say have a wide range of uncertainty, suggest around 2.4% of infected people could be hospitalised (range: 0.0%-8.9%) with 20.5% of hospitalised patients going into ICU (range: 1.5% - 35.25) and 23.3% (range: 1.2% - 43.3%) of all hospitalised patients dying. The model also predicts an overall infection fatality ratio of 0.7% (0.0% - 9.7%). While the model is by no means a prediction and subject to \"significant uncertainty\", the reasonable worst case scenario is used to inform government planning decisions. However, some are critical of the modelling and believe some of the assumptions in the \"official sensitive\" model prepared for the Cabinet Office are wrong and the model is unhelpful given the wide range in possible scenarios. Prof Carl Heneghan, from Oxford University, said some of the assumptions made in the model were \"implausible\" and that the report assumes that \"we've learnt nothing from the first wave of this disease\". BBC Newsnight has also spoken to people in local authorities planning who say the wide range of possibilities in deaths and hospitalisations make it hard to know if Covid-19 will have little impact or lead to catastrophic extra pressures in the months to come. Nigel Edwards, chief executive of the Nuffield Trust health think tank, said the report had \"very wide ranges\" of scenarios which make it \"quite difficult for people to work out exactly what they should be doing\". 'Unhelpful' model Prof Heneghan said these centralised big picture models were \"unhelpful\" and better local surveillance data was needed. This is not the first \"worst case scenario\" provided by the government's experts. Last month a report, requested by the UK's chief scientific adviser, Sir Patrick Vallance, suggested there might be about 120,000 new coronavirus deaths in a second wave of infections this winter, In response to Friday's leaked report, a UK government spokesperson said: \"As a responsible government we have been planning and continue to prepare for a wide range of scenarios, including the reasonable worst case scenario. \"Our planning is not a forecast or prediction of what will happen. It reflects a responsible government ensuring we are ready for all eventualities.\" A spokesperson further stated that planning assumptions were being kept under review and amended as the scientific and medical advice on Covid-19 develops. There have been more than 330,000 confirmed cases of coronavirus so far in the UK and more than 40,000 people have died. You can watch Newsnight on BBC Two at 22:30 on weekdays.

He was taken to West Suffolk Hospital after falling unconscious in his cell and died on 25 May. The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) found insufficient checks were made on Mr Edwards. The IPCC investigation began in December 2011, but the findings were only made available after an inquest held in Bury St Edmunds closed on Friday. 'Vulnerable state' Recording a narrative verdict, Suffolk's coroner Dr Peter Dean said Mr Edwards was a \"known methadone and alcohol user\". \"He should not have been deemed fit for detention,\" Dr Dean said. \"Subsequently, finds of deterioration were missed, leading to aspiration and hypoxia, leading to cardiac arrest and widespread ischemia of the brain.\" The IPCC investigation found there was a lack of clarity as to who had responsibility for Mr Edwards's care following a shift handover between custody sergeants. But it was unable to establish whether officers were supplied with specific information that Mr Edwards, when heavily intoxicated, had a tendency to vomit in his sleep. Commissioner Sarah Green said: \"Our investigation found that Suffolk Constabulary failed to take appropriate care of Mr Edwards, who was in a vulnerable state due to his intoxication, and did not properly carry out rousing checks on him as needed. \"When Mr Edwards' condition deteriorated, this was not identified and responded to sufficiently promptly.\" 'Extremely seriously' A Suffolk Police spokesman said the force's \"thoughts and sympathies\" were with the family. \"We hope that the conclusion of the inquest can bring them some closure in relation to his death,\" the spokesman said. The IPCC investigation also found that a detention officer, Barry Brackenborough, had a case to answer for gross misconduct for failing to wake Mr Edwards on more than one occasion. The officer resigned from Suffolk Police ahead of disciplinary proceedings. A misconduct panel, held in his absence, found the case proven and indicated that had Mr Brackenborough not resigned, he would have been dismissed. Suffolk Police said it took the incident \"extremely seriously\" and had been \"determined to learn lessons from it\". The spokesman added: \"Officers and staff who work in our custody suites are given extensive training in rousing procedures, in line with national guidelines. \"This was no different at the time of Mr Edwards's death. However, in this particular case the training was not put into practise and procedures not followed correctly.\" PC Alison Huntley was found to have a case to answer for misconduct for failing to rouse Mr Edwards adequately on one occasion.

He later issued an apology for his \"terrible error\". His comments have come in for ridicule, with the hashtag #FoxNewsFacts trending on Twitter. Mr Emerson, who founded a group called The Investigative Project on Terrorism, was giving his perspective on the terror attacks in France to Fox presenter Jeanine Pirro. 'Check your facts' Birmingham City Council said Mr Emerson's \"curious\" comments had no foundation, and welcomed his apology, while Birmingham Edgbaston MP Gisela Stuart described the remarks as \"stupid\". On social media, Mr Emerson has been the butt of jokes, while he has been accused of \"speaking nonsense\" by people posting on his investigative website. One Twitter user said: \"As someone born and raised in Birmingham, I must admit there was a pressure to read the Kerrang.\" \"I was supposed to go to Birmingham last week but I forgot my passport,\" said another. The Guardian's Simon Ricketts on #FoxNewsFacts I was at home and the video of the Fox News \"expert\" Steve Emerson had popped up on my Twitter feed and people were rightly expressing their disbelief at what he had said. I thought it might be funny to counteract the anger with silliness, so I wrote a tweet and stuck the hashtag (#FoxNewsFacts) on it. Sometimes the best response to such nonsense is satire and mockery, rather than anger and outrage. Immediately, that proved successful and the people of Twitter did what they do best at times - took an idea and ran with it. Take the BBC quiz to find out if you know #RealBrumfacts Speaking on Radio 4's PM programme, Mr Emerson said: \"I don't want people to use this to claim there's no such thing as radical Islam.\" He said he \"absolutely\" stood by comments about \"vigilante Muslim groups\" in some parts of London. Mr Emerson said he had been \"living under a death threat\" since an assassination attempt in the mid 1990s. In terms of Birmingham, however, he admitted that he had \"made an egregious error here in not doing my homework\", adding: \"I deserve what I got.\" He said he had relied on sources he had used in the past, but accepted \"responsibility\" for his comments and did not know how his reputation would be affected in the long term. Mr Emerson said he also wanted to apologise to \"all the residents of Birmingham\". 'Cosmopolitan city' Kings Heath resident Penny Hughes, 27, said she really missed the city when she moved away. \"I moved to Leamington Spa for work which was completely different but I wanted to come back, so I did two or three years later. \"I grew up in Handsworth which was a very Asian and multicultural area.\" Shabir Vanat, a 61-year-old Muslim who left Uganda for Birmingham almost 40 years ago, described it as \"a very cosmopolitan city\". He said: \"I've been in this shop for 29 years and I've never had one single problem - I am a big fan of Birmingham.\" Responding to the controversy, Birmingham City Councillor James McKay said: \"We are amazingly diverse, and that's one of the things that makes us brilliant - all this fuss is a reminder of how it's always best to check your facts before getting into a debate. \"Maybe Fox News could come and visit some time, and see for themselves what a great city we have here?\" Edgbaston MP Ms Stuart said Mr Emerson's comments had \"no redeeming features\". \"I checked whether this was some kind of early April Fool spoof, and then I thought he was talking about Birmingham, Alabama, but then I realised he was just utterly and completely wrong,\" the Labour MP said. Birmingham's religions Source: Census 2011 As well as earlier apologising for his remarks, Mr Emerson has offered to make a donation to Birmingham Children's Hospital. \"I have clearly made a terrible error for which I am deeply sorry,\" said Mr Emerson, a witness called to testify to at least one Congressional committee. \"I do not intend to justify or mitigate my mistake by stating that I had relied on other sources because I should have been much more careful. Scott Lucas, professor of American Studies at the University of Birmingham, said Mr Emerson's comments, however inaccurate, would appeal to some in the US. \"He speaks in sound bites that some people want to hear,\" he said. \"Some people want to hear it's us versus them, it's America versus the rest of the world, that it's white Americans versus - let's be honest - those who aren't white and those who profess a different faith. \"Unfortunately, if you tap into that you will be in demand for certain media outlets who give you your 15 seconds of infamy.\" More than 1,000 people have signed an online petition calling for Mr Emerson to make an \"on-air apology to the people of Birmingham UK for saying non-Muslims cannot enter our beloved multi-cultural city\". Maryam Snape, who started the petition, said: \"The fact of the matter is the American people saw this story and they are still going to believe it is the truth until he puts it right.\" BBC Asian Network - reaction Callers to BBC Asian Network's Nihal Show gave their reaction to the controversy. One man sent a text to the show saying as a Sikh he felt certain areas of the city were intimidating for non-Muslims. Another caller said there were other areas where Muslims would feel intimidated and perhaps worry about being attacked. Most callers, however, criticised Mr Emerson's claims, which were described as \"dangerous\" and \"absurd\" and having the potential to harm community relations. The Birmingham-born creator of BBC 1 sitcom Citizen Khan Adil Ray said Mr Emerson's comment was completely baseless and he was \"instilling fear\" in people. But he said people had responded in the best way possible. \"It's a great sign that in Birmingham we don't take ourselves too seriously and it's the best way to react with contempt and with satire and humour.\"",

            "input": "The programme, coming a decade after the original Planet Earth was broadcast, has been, by all accounts, a truly extraordinary series. Ratings show the series has been watched by all age groups, with surprisingly large numbers of young people tuning in to watch the programme live every week. The series has become Internet Movie Database's highest-rated television programme of all time. Here are just a few of the things we've learned from Planet Earth II. 1. Flamingos don't get sunburned In the Mountains episode, we saw flamingos become trapped in ice overnight, only to be freed when the sun finally came up. Later, we saw them gather together in a group to go on parade in a peculiar courtship ritual - providing BBC One with some excellent new idents in the process. 2. Sloths like to swim (especially if there is a pretty sloth waiting at the other side of the lake) Sadly the female sloth being pursued in the Islands episode already had a baby and therefore wouldn't be mating again for another six months - but full marks for effort to this enthusiastic chap. 3. Sir David Attenborough can present from a hot air balloon at the age of 90 The prospect of going to a freezing cold climate, climbing into a hot air balloon and trying not to shiver too much as a camera is pointed at you would be daunting for most of us. But not, apparently, for Sir David, who is still able to do this with ease despite being in his 10th decade. 4. Watching iguanas being pursued by snakes is more exciting than any James Bond car chase we've ever seen Watching animals chase other animals in this series can be a confusing experience - do you root for the animal being pursued, because you don't want them to die, or the predator giving chase, because you don't want them to starve? Either way - there's no denying such encounters are extremely exhilarating (and traumatising). 5. Men are more attractive when they tidy up a bit The Wilson's bird-of-paradise in the Jungles episode set an example to us all. The brightly-coloured bird tidied up all the leaves from one patch of the forest floor so his bright feathers would stand out more and attract a mate. Far be it from us to suggest that humans could learn from this, of course. 6. Baloo and The Jungle Book were fairly accurate depictions of bear scratching behaviour You're a bear. You've got an itchy back. What do you do? Make extremely creative use of the trees around you, of course - proving in the process that The Jungle Book was more than just a children's film, it was a documentary. 7. A giraffe can win in a battle with a lion Because prey is so thin on the ground, desert lions hunt whichever animals they come across. As giraffes are relatively common here they are an important prey species. But one particular giraffe in the Deserts episode gave a lioness a run for her money, not quite outrunning her but managing to kick her away when she attacked. 8. Bears like to vandalise video equipment The production crew behind Planet Earth II learned one expensive lesson in the Grasslands episode. You can take recording equipment to the other side of the world. You can cover it in a grass camouflage. But the bottom line? Bears still like to smash up video cameras. 9. Don't leave any food unattended in Jaipur, India As seen in the concluding Cities episode, one particular breed of monkey, the rhesus macaque, has become adept at navigating the people, traffic and market stalls of Jaipur in India. Their brazen \"daylight robbery\", as Sir David puts it, of any food or drink lying around would put Aladdin's sidekick Abu to shame.

At times over the past three weeks the bishops and some members of the laity gathered in Rome have seemed to be travelling on rather different paths and the process - deemed \"invigorating\" and \"a breath of fresh air\" by some - has left others with real concerns about the unity of the Roman Catholic Church.

Definition debates Traditionalists - led by bishops from parts of Africa and Eastern Europe, as well as some Americans and Australians - feared being railroaded into accepting more liberal definitions of the family, including more welcoming language towards gay Catholics and a more positive approach to those in long-term same-sex unions. The issue of homosexuality was brought vividly into focus by the \"coming out\" of the Polish priest Krzysztof Charamsa on the eve of the Synod by a priest who had worked within the Vatican department responsible for doctrine and who called the Church's current attitude towards gay Catholics \"backwards\". But ultimately, there was little change on the issue, with the final document reiterating current Church teaching that gay Catholics must be respected and not discriminated against, while re-emphasising that there was \"no basis for any comparison, however remote, between homosexual unions and God's design for marriage and the family\". However, traditionalists did not quite manage to head off attempts - led by the German church - to open a pathway towards offering communion to the divorced and civilly remarried. In the end, the Synod found compromise and forms of wording that allowed bishops to pass the most controversial sections of the final document. The three most contentious sections on helping families in \"irregular\" situations squeaked through on Saturday - one of them by just one vote - opening the way to individual conscience and \"discernment\" on the matter, guided by the clergy. Although the wording was left deliberately vague, the section does nod towards allowing the clergy to help parishioners receive the sacraments after divorce and remarriage if they are truly penitent - yet without changing doctrine. Leadership questions This is a Pope whose message of mercy has proved wildly popular with the faithful, as has his clear reiteration within this Synod that he wants a compassionate Church that understands more and condemns less - and \"journeys with\" its flock, getting its hands dirty in the stuff of real lives in the modern world. But this meeting of bishops has proved less popular with some in his own Church, especially the more conservative, who worry that it has sown confusion among the faithful and raised question marks over Pope Francis's style of leadership - and where he is taking the Church. The idea of greater decentralisation, which Pope Francis emphasises in the middle of the Synod, has troubled those who care deeply about consensus and the future unity of the Roman Catholic Church. \"This is one of the most complex jobs in the world and I fear that Pope Francis has relied too much on intuition and does not have a strategy,\" says a source. The message that's rung out from the Vatican in recent weeks has indeed sometimes been discordant and it is being interpreted in many different ways. Cardinal Vincent Nichols, Archbishop of Westminster, says that the experience of the Synod was an exhausting but also remarkable and fruitful journey. So what was his interpretation of the final document regarding the divorced or those in difficult family situations? \"It says we have to find fresh ways of accompanying families at every stage in their lives, and that's particularly true for those who have experienced hardship, hurt and breakdown and maybe have entered into second marriages,\" he says. Pivotal moment The signals coming from this Synod have allowed both the liberals to claim victory - and the more conservative to point out that no doctrine has been changed. Traditionalists say that the Church has always taught mercy and understanding of the lives led by its less-than-perfect flock, even before Pope Francis's emphasis on a less judgemental style. Cardinal George Pell, now Prefect of the Secretariat for the Economy at the Vatican, says that there were early attempts by some at the Synod to take the Church in a direction with which traditionalists were deeply unhappy. \"They would rewrite the teachings of the Church on sexuality, marriage and the family in the light of modern understandings. Well for us, for orthodox Christians in every Christian denomination, the first normative word is the teachings of Jesus Christ.\" There is further uncertainty ahead, as the Pope must now work out what he wants as he draws together his own thoughts after hearing his bishops' advice. This has been a pivotal moment of his pontificate - yet few are sure where all of this leads. And Pope Francis will have to handle the fruits of this Synod with care if it is not to divide his flock.",

Local media say one of her sons heard the blast and rushed outside. PM Joseph Muscat, whom Caruana Galizia accused of wrongdoing earlier this year, denounced the killing. \"I condemn without reservations this barbaric attack on a person and on the freedom of expression in our country,\" he said in a televised statement. \"Everyone knows Ms Caruana Galizia was a harsh critic of mine, both politically and personally, as she was for others too.\" But he stressed there could be \"no justification... in any way\" for such action. \"I will not rest before justice is done.\" On Monday evening, thousands of people attended a candlelit vigil in the resort town of Sliema. Malta Television reported that Caruana Galizia had filed a complaint to the police two weeks ago to say she had received threats but gave no further information. Police have opened a murder inquiry. Newspaper reports said the explosion had left debris from the rental car she was driving strewn across the road and in a nearby field. Caruana Galizia's death comes four months after Mr Muscat's Labour Party won an election he called early because of the blogger's allegations linking him and his wife to the Panama Papers scandal. The couple denied claims that they had used secret offshore bank accounts to hide payments from Azerbaijan's ruling family. Caruana Galizia's popular blog had also targeted opposition politicians, calling the country's political situation \"desperate\" in her final post. A spokeswoman for the prime minister's office told the BBC that although there were rumours the attack could be politically motivated, this would be jumping to conclusions. But no lines of inquiry would be ruled out. Malta has asked for international help - including the FBI in the US - to find the perpetrator, the spokeswoman said. Meanwhile, Caruana Galizia's family has requested that the magistrate in charge of the investigation be replaced, the Malta Independent reports. It said the current magistrate had on a number of occasions been the subject of criticism by Caruana Galizia. Her scathing pen spared no punches By Herman Grech, Times of Malta online editor Daphne Caruana Galizia was loved and resented in equal measure in politically divided Malta - but she will go down in the Mediterranean island's history as one of the most influential writers. Her uncompromising blog and scathing pen spared no punches, hitting out mainly at exponents of the ruling Labour Party and their supporters, but also sometimes criticising officials of the centre-right Nationalist Party, including its newly-elected leader. Starting off as a columnist for The Sunday Times of Malta, her colourful reportage saw her embroiled in several legal battles along the years, including Malta's prime minister. But beyond all, even her fiercest critics acknowledge she was an impeccable writer and investigative journalist. Her digital cross-investigation into the Panama Papers, which saw the Maltese government's top officials embroiled, effectively triggered off a premature general election last June.",

            "input": "Kamal AhmedBusiness editor@bbckamalon Twitter Just after the US government had given the go-ahead for Shell to restart its exploration in Alaska, the Democratic presidential candidate took to the social media site. \"The Arctic is a unique treasure,\" Mrs Clinton said on Twitter. \"Given what we know now, it's not worth the risk of drilling.\" Which seemed to ignore the fact that drilling has been taking place in the Arctic for decades - for example oil was first discovered in one of the main basins, Prudhoe Bay, in 1968. The area is still producing around 250,000 barrels per day and is one of America's largest producing fields. Shell knows that its every move in the Arctic is scrutinised commercially, politically and environmentally. Quite rightly, of course, when it comes to exploration in one of the most environmentally sensitive areas in the world. Surprise move Shell's original position on the Arctic was that exploration of the vast area - much of it untapped - was important. The oil major argued that demand for fossil fuels was increasing as the world developed, exploration had to continue despite the low oil price and that the Arctic had long been a source of oil and gas. Monday's announcement that Shell was pulling out of the Chukchi Sea therefore comes as a surprise. Particularly given it will cost Shell £2.6bn to execute the withdrawal. And that the company has already spent the thick end of £5bn getting to this point. Earlier this year, I interviewed Shell's chief executive Ben van Beurden - and he was certainly bullish on Alaska. \"The potential in the Arctic is very, very significant,\" he told me, saying that \"the Arctic probably holds the largest yet to be discovered resource base\". Shell's investors were regular recipients of long and detailed presentations on the potential for the region. So, what changed? Certainly, the first findings from the Burger J exploration well 150 miles off the Alaskan coast were not promising. Second, although President Barack Obama had given the necessary permissions for drilling to start again following the problems of rig fires in 2012, Mrs Clinton's tweet revealed that political risks were still substantial. Mr van Beurden also has plenty of other issues weighing on his in-tray. Not least the £55bn takeover of BG Group. And the halving on the oil price over the past 18 months which has led to a rapid reduction in capital expenditure for all the oil majors. Share prices have been under pressure, with Shell's dropping over 30% in the last 12 months. Given that background, the Arctic appears to be one major project too far, for Shell's management as well as investors. And, frankly, there are easier places to explore for oil and gas, technically and politically. 'High risk' That was very much the opinion of Lord Browne, the former chief executive of BP who is now chairman of the oil and gas business, L1 Energy. \"The Arctic is a very high risk place to explore, and even if you find something, a very expensive place to develop in,\" he told me. \"The last very big field is Prudhoe Bay, and it's been a very difficult place to find oil and gas. \"There'll be better places, more easy places, to go and explore.\" But, with demand for fossil fuels expected to rise over the next decade as emerging market growth continues, Lord Browne says exploration in the area off Alaska could return. \"We should always keep an eye on it, just in case.\"",

            "input": "The team looked at chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) and its reaction to treatment with the drug Tenovin. Tenovin was found to kill the cancer in Leukaemia patients without affecting the level of a tumour-suppressing protein. It is thought it could lead to improved treatments in future. Normally, Tenovin affects cancer cells by increasing levels of the \"guardian angel\" protein p53 within cells, which plays a crucial role in controlling cell mutations. However, the team found that when treated with the drug, the CLL cells died but without showing a change in p53 levels. The scientists then discovered that in leukaemic cells, Tenovin is able to interfere with the process of \"self-digestion\" that leukaemic cells use to protect themselves during periods of stress. Protection disrupted The study was led by Dr Sudhir Tauro from the Dundee Cancer Centre at Dundee University. He said: \"This process, called autophagy, is important to the survival of all cells. \"It is noteworthy that while it has the important effect of disrupting this process in CLL cells, Tenovin did not affect normal blood-forming cells. \"Based on these findings, we can now exploit that difference and begin to develop safer anti-leukaemic drugs for CLL.\" Current anti-leukaemia drugs often cause toxicity-related problems, particularly in older patients where treatment can affect a normal blood count. They also tend to become less effective when used repeatedly. The study has been funded by the charity Tenovus, which also supported the original development of Tenovin. Prof Peter Howie, from Tenovus Scotland, said: \"The aim of Tenovus Scotland-Tayside is to support medical research in Tayside which will ultimately lead to the benefit of patients. \"Tenovus in Tayside is delighted to see that its investment in the development of Tenovin is being taken forward by Dr Sudhir Tauro's exciting work in leukaemia.\"",

Highland councillors gave the project the go-ahead last June, before Scottish ministers called in the planning application for further scrutiny. Following a public inquiry, the government has refused permission. In their decision, Scottish ministers said the plan would have supported economic growth and rural development. But they agreed with government-appointed planning officials' findings that the golf course would have \"significant\" effects on rare plantlife, wintering and breeding birds and the the dunes themselves. The government said the \"likely detriment to natural heritage is not outweighed by the socio-economic benefits of the proposal\". Planning Minister Kevin Stewart said: \"This proposal does not comply with the relevant provisions of the Highland Wide Local Development Plan, and runs contrary to Scottish Planning Policy's emphasis on protecting natural heritage sites and world class environmental assets. \"The Scottish government has considered the reporter's findings carefully and agree with the recommendation that planning permission should be refused.\" 'Incredibly grateful' The plan also included a clubhouse and the renovation of existing buildings to form a maintenance facility, along with a pro shop, caddy hut, workshop, administration building and information booth. The developers behind the project argued that the golf course would improve and protect the area of land involved, and bring much-needed jobs to the area. A group of conservation charities opposed to the project, including RSPB Scotland, Butterfly Conservation Scotland and the Scottish Wildlife Trust. Anne McCall, director at RSPB Scotland, said: \"I am incredibly grateful to everyone who stood up against this application over the past few years - it's been a huge partnership effort and inspiring to see how many people raised their voice in support of this amazing place.\" The Scottish Wildlife Trust said \"difficult decisions\" were necessary to address the \"urgent crisis facing nature\". Ramblers Scotland has also welcomed the government's decision. Director Brendan Paddy said: \"The decision sends out a clear signal that Scotland's finest landscapes, habitats and beauty spots aren't simply up for sale to the highest bidder.\"",

The honours could be sent out to veterans and their families as soon as next month. Surviving veterans and widows will be the first to receive the awards. The families of those who served will also be able to apply. More than 3,000 men died in the freezing waters of the Arctic as they worked to keep supplies flowing through German blockades to Britain's ally, the Soviet Union, in Operation Dervish. The death toll of those serving in Bomber Command was even greater with 55,000 airmen losing their lives. 'Worst journey' A quarter of a million men did survive both these dangerous missions - though many have since died. Seventy years on their bravery is being recognised with the Arctic Star medal for those who sailed on the convoys and the Bomber Command clasp for those who flew at least one operational mission over Germany and France. The Bomber Command clasp will attach to the 1939 to 1945 Star for which those veterans had previously qualified. The announcement was made in a statement by defence minister Mark Francois on Tuesday. He said: \"All those who served our country in Bomber Command and on the Arctic Convoys deserve nothing but the utmost respect and admiration from us. \"That's why I am delighted that these special individuals will in the next few weeks begin to receive the Bomber Command clasp and Arctic Star that they have so long deserved. \"I am also pleased to announce that the families of those no longer alive will also be able to apply for these awards in recognition of their loved one's bravery.\" The final designs were agreed following extensive consultation after Prime Minister David Cameron announced the awards in December. Mr Cameron said he had accepted the recommendations of a review of military medals carried out by former diplomat Sir John Holmes. The decision followed a long campaign. The mission to keep supply lines to the Soviet ports of Murmansk and Archangel open was reportedly described as the \"worst journey in the world\" by former Prime Minister Winston Churchill. 'Numbers depleting' Russia has previously wanted to present its own Ushakov Medal to Britons who had served on the convoys, but the move was blocked by the UK Foreign Office (FCO). The British government said its rules on foreign awards meant permission could not be granted if veterans had received or were expected to receive a UK medal for the same services. The FCO added that prior to the announcement of a specific award for the Arctic convoys, all British veterans were eligible for the Atlantic Star. This was awarded for service in the Atlantic and home waters, including the north Russian convoys. Convoy veteran Alec Penstone, from Shanklin, Isle of Wight, welcomed the news about the medal but said the government should also allow Russia to present its own medal to veterans. He said: \"In the first week in March I'm attending two funerals of shipmates of the Arctic conveys who have both crossed the bar. \"Of course, every day our numbers are depleting, I think the last count was about 59 of us left in the UK. \"The news is good... that we are going to receive the Arctic campaign medal. But the one that we are determined to get hold of is the Russian bravery award, which is not costing our government one penny piece.\" An MoD spokesman said: \"Priority for the new awards will be given to applications from veterans and widows. Other next of kin are also able to apply and they will receive their awards shortly after veterans and widows.\"",

One of your family worked there, you knew someone who worked there, or you were lucky like us and knew Pete, who worked at the factory and did car services on the side. Even now, in 2020, there are still boys I went to school with working at the plant. The house I grew up in looked down on to the industrial estate and the two big names that for decades now have been synonymous with Bridgend: Sony on the right with its big neon sign, and to the left the sprawling Ford building with its unmistakable oval logo towering above it. Motown in my home town, the pride of Detroit in south Wales. But how? Why here? Even as a child it seemed pretty incongruous. But when the deal was struck back in 1977 they were different times. It came down partly to a personal meeting at Chequers where the then Prime Minister James Callaghan wooed Henry Ford II, grandson of the original Henry. Wales wanted Ford, and in the end Ford wanted to come. We did not even have the ironic cheek to specify the colour of the factory. But now Ford - like Sony - is gone. Someone I spoke to this week called it \"tragic.\" Manufacturing they said, is \"under immense threat and it will only deteriorate further\". 'End of an era' And the future does look more uncertain than it did back in 1977. It feels pretty hard to take that something which started in the year I was born is now over. An industry that provided so many jobs when those in coal were starting to burn out. The end of an era in Welsh manufacturing and despite that concerted wooing 43 years ago, the end of the marriage between Bridgend and Ford.",

Russia began delivering its advanced S-400 system to Turkey last week. Turkey and the US are key Nato allies - but Ankara has also been establishing closer links with Russia. Turkey has so far not publicly reacted to the latest US move, which was widely expected. What did the US say? In a statement on Wednesday, White House spokeswoman Stephanie Grisham said: \"Unfortunately, Turkey's decision to purchase Russian S-400 air defence systems renders its continued involvement with the F-35 impossible. \"The United States has been actively working with Turkey to provide air defence solutions to meet its legitimate air defence needs, and this administration has made multiple offers to move Turkey to the front of the line to receive the US Patriot air defence system. \"Turkey has been a longstanding and trusted partner and Nato ally for over 65 years, but accepting the S-400 undermines the commitments all Nato allies made to each other to move away from Russian systems.\" At the same time Ms Grisham stressed that \"the United States still greatly values our strategic relationship with Turkey. \"As Nato allies, our relationship is multi-layered, and not solely focused on the F-35,\" she said. Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan believed that President Trump would ultimately allow him to have both the Russian S-400 missile system and F-35 US warplanes. But he was wrong. Could things get worse ? Will Turkey's suspension from the F-35 programme be followed up by other measures ? The 2017 Countering America's Adversaries Through Sanctions Act mandates action against any country making significant purchases from the Russian defence industry. The big question now is how much damage will this do to bilateral ties between Washington and Ankara and more broadly between Turkey and Nato. There is already a sense in the alliance that Turkey is drifting away from the West, flirting with Russia and pursuing a kind of authoritarian democracy at odds with liberal values. So is this a temporary shift in Ankara's outlook or a more significant turning point in Turkish foreign policy? What's the argument about? Turkey had signed up to buying 100 F-35s, America's most sophisticated warplanes, and had invested heavily in the US programme. Turkish companies produce 937 of the plane's parts. But Turkey has also pursued an increasingly independent defence policy amid strained ties with the US and Europe. It has purchased Russia's advanced S-400 air defence system for $2.5bn (£2bn) and sent members of its armed forces to Russia for training. Turkey had also argued that the US was slow to offer an alternative missile defence shield. US defence officials say the S-400 is incompatible with the wider Nato air-defence system in the region. They say they do not want F-35s to be near S-400 systems because they fear Russian technicians will be able to access the warplane's vulnerabilities. How important is Turkey? Turkey has the second-largest army in Nato, a 29-member military alliance. It is one of the US's key allies, and is located in a strategic position, sharing borders with Syria, Iraq and Iran. It has also played an important role in the Syria conflict, providing arms and military support to some rebel groups. However, it has seen relations deteriorate with some Nato members and the EU, who have accused Mr Erdogan of adopting an increasingly authoritarian style following a failed coup in 2016. How does the S-400 work?",

The bubonic plague was once the world's most feared disease, but can now be easily treated. What has the WHO said? Spokeswoman Margaret Harris said: \"Bubonic plague has been with us and is always with us, for centuries. We are looking at the case numbers in China. It's being well managed. \"At the moment, we are not considering it high risk but we're watching it, monitoring it carefully.\" The WHO said it was informed on Monday of the case of the herdsman, who is being treated at a hospital in Bayannur. Chinese news agency Xinhua says Mongolia had also confirmed two cases last week - brothers who had eaten marmot meat in Khovd province. Russian officials are warning communities in the country's Altai region not to hunt marmots, as infected meat from the rodents is a known transmission route. What is bubonic plague? Bubonic plague, caused by bacterial infection, was responsible for one of the deadliest epidemics in human history - the Black Death - which killed about 50 million people across Africa, Asia and Europe in the 14th Century. There have been a handful of large outbreaks since. It killed about a fifth of London's population during the Great Plague of 1665, while more than 12 million died in outbreaks during the 19th Century in China and India. But nowadays it can be treated by antibiotics. Left untreated, the disease - which is typically transmitted from animals to humans by fleas - has a 30-60% fatality rate. Symptoms of the plague include high fever, chills, nausea, weakness and swollen lymph nodes in the neck, armpit or groin. Could there be another epidemic? Bubonic cases are rare, but there are still a few flare-ups of the disease from time to time. Madagascar saw more than 300 cases during an outbreak in 2017. However, a study in medical journal The Lancet found fewer than 30 people died. In May last year, two people in Mongolia died after eating the raw meat of a marmot. However, it's unlikely any cases will lead to an epidemic. \"Unlike in the 14th Century, we now have an understanding of how this disease is transmitted,\" Dr Shanti Kappagoda, an infectious diseases doctor at Stanford Health Care, told news site Heathline. \"We know how to prevent it.\"",

            "input": "By Mark WardTechnology correspondent, BBC News Bacn is becoming what spam once was - the nuisance that fills up your inbox and makes it hard to pick out the important messages you have to read and which require a reply. Bacn is all those reminders, newsletters, notifications, limited offers, alerts and other ephemera sent by websites, e-tailers and other services you have used ever since you made your first mouse clicks on the web. It is called bacn because those messages sit in the middle of a short continuum between what tech folks call spam (fake meat/junk mail) and ham (real meat/real mail). Those messages are bacn because they are not quite real messages but are not quite junk either. \"It's a problem in as much as it can get in the way of doing your real work,\" said Graham Cluley, senior technology consultant at security firm Sophos. \"Some people have signed up for so many newsletters and mailing lists it gets hard to find the essential messages. \"Bacn can be a productivity problem.\" he said, adding that it was stuff you probably wanted to read, just not right now. Glance at your email inbox and the bacn is easy to spot - and chances are that there will be quite a lot of it. Many webmail providers, notably Gmail and Hotmail, have introduced tools that help people sweep it into a folder that they can look through later. In addition, said Mr Cluley, it was possible to use filters and rules in most desktop email programs to spot it and corral it into a folder. Services are starting to spring up to help people manage that deluge of messages people do not need to read right now but feel they should save - just in case they do suddenly require a case of cheap wine. John Marbach is the founder of Glider, a start-up that aims to weed out the bacn in your inbox so you can get back to work. \"Every day when I wake up, on my iPhone I see about 20-30 emails that are sent to me automatically and I never open any of them,\" he said.\"The problem is these machines sending me messages just to grab my attention.\" The tools used to stop spam get in the way of stopping these messages precisely because they occupy that hard-to-define space between real junk and real messages. On the one hand, they are legitimate because people have signed up to receive them, they come from reputable web domains and have the same syntax as real messages. However, they are also slightly spammy because they arrive so regularly and some of their language resembles the hyperbole employed by most junk mail. What makes them harder to filter out, said Mr Marbach, was that the firms sending them would have tested them against anti-spam tools before they were sent out. Most bulk mail programs used to manage mailing lists, promotions and other forms of electronic marketing have a test tool that will work out what chance the messages have of getting through industry-standard spam filters. \"This means that other people have access to your attention whenever they want it and I don't think that's right,\" he told the BBC. By some estimates, he said, only about 10% of the messages people received in their inboxes were real. The rest are bacn. Glider, as well as other tech firms such as Sanebox, are developing tools that will be able to pick out bacn mail before it reaches the inbox. Others have gone about it in a different way. The Mailbox app for the iPhone tries to enforce good inbox discipline by making people choose what to do with every message they get. For Mr Marbach, the rise of these tools reveals the struggle many people endure each day just to connect to friends and family. Not surprising when more and more people have to manage not just one inbox but Twitter feeds, timelines, discussion threads, texts and emails. Tech was supposed to make this easier, more nuanced, not turn it into a chore. \"We're all just trying to bring email back to basics and use our inboxes for conversations,\" he said.",

The arrests, involving more than 20 cases, came as Beijing vowed to crack down on fraudulent vaccines. Even though most of the cases surfaced late last year, new details were released this week. According to a court ruling, Kong and his team made a profit of 18m yuan ($2.78m; £2m) by putting saline solution or mineral water in syringes and hawking them as Covid vaccines since August last year.

The sales were made on the basis the vaccines were acquired via \"internal channels\" of genuine manufacturers. In other cases, counterfeit vaccines were sold at inflated prices in hospitals. Other criminals also conducted inoculation programmes of their own and had \"village doctors\" vaccinate people with fake jabs in their homes and cars.

The Federal Aviation Administration said fresh evidence as well as newly refined satellite data prompted the decision to temporarily ban the jets. The FAA had previously held out while many countries banned the aircraft. All 157 passengers and crew died in Sunday's crash. Ethiopian Airlines said on Thursday that the black box flight recorders from the aircraft have been flown to Paris for analysis. \"An Ethiopian delegation led by Accident Investigation Bureau has flown the Flight Data Recorder and Cockpit Voice Recorder to Paris, France for investigation,\" the airline wrote on Twitter. What has the FAA discovered? The FAA has a team investigating the disaster at the Ethiopian Airlines crash site working with the National Transportation Safety Board. Dan Elwell, acting administrator at the FAA, said on Wednesday: \"It became clear to all parties that the track of the Ethiopian Airlines [flight] was very close and behaved very similarly to the Lion Air flight.\" He added that \"the evidence we found on the ground made it even more likely the flight path was very close to Lion Air's\". President Donald Trump initially announced that the FAA would be making an emergency order following \"new information and physical evidence that we've received from the site and from other locations and through a couple of other complaints\". The US and Brazil became the latest countries to suspend the Boeing 737 Max from flying after nations including the UK, China, India and Australia all grounded the aircraft. Until Wednesday, the FAA position was that a review had showed \"no systemic performance issues\" and that there was no basis for grounding the aircraft. Earlier in the day, Canada grounded the planes after its transport minister Marc Garneau said he had received new evidence about the crash. He said that satellite data showed possible similarities between flight patterns of Boeing 737 Max planes operating in Canada and the Ethiopian Airlines plane that crashed. What has Boeing said? Boeing, the US plane manufacturer, said that it \"continues to have full confidence in the safety of the 737 Max\". However, it added that after consultation with the FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board it had decided to ground the flights \"out of an abundance of caution and in order to reassure the flying public of the aircraft's safety\". Dennis Muilenburg, president, chief executive and chairman of Boeing, said: \"We are doing everything we can to understand the cause of the accidents in partnership with the investigators, deploy safety enhancements and help ensure this does not happen again.\" Sara Nelson, president of the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA, said: \"Lives must come first always. But a brand is at stake as well. And that brand is not just Boeing. It's America. What America means in international aviation and by extension in the larger world more generally—that we set the standard for safety, competence, and honesty in governance of aviation.\" Shares in Boeing ticked higher to $377 each following the announcement. However, the company's market value has dropped by nearly $26bn since the crash in Ethiopia at the weekend. What will happen to airline customers? Southwest Airlines said it had immediately removed all 34 of the planes from scheduled service. Although it has the biggest fleet of Boeing 737 Max 8 planes in the world, Southwest Airlines said they account \"for less than 5% of our daily flights\". It said it is offering \"flexible rebooking policies\" which means that any customer booked on a cancelled Max 8 flight can rebook on alternate flights \"without any additional fees or fare differences within 14 days of their original date of travel\". American Airlines said 24 of its aircraft would be affected by the suspension, adding: \"Our teams will be working to rebook customers as quickly as possible, and we apologise for any inconvenience.\" United Airlines said that its Max aircraft account for roughly 40 flights a day. It said: \"Through a combination of spare aircraft and rebooking customers, we do not anticipate a significant operational impact as a result of this order.\" Analysis: Theo Leggett, BBC international business correspondent With other aviation authorities around the world deciding to ground the 737 Max, the FAA - which provides the safety certification for the new aircraft - was under intense pressure to fall into line. What's interesting here, though, is what the FAA has actually said. While the UK's Civil Aviation Authority, for example, said its actions were simply precautionary, the FAA has gone further. The US regulator, which is actually involved in the investigation, says it has made its decision as a result of new evidence collected at the site and analysed today - as well as satellite data. That will have set alarm bells ringing at Boeing's headquarters in Chicago. Since the accident, analysts have focused on similarities between Sunday's tragedy, and another crash involving a 737 Max off Indonesia last October. Has the FAA found evidence that suggests those similarities were more than just superficial? And does that mean Boeing's MCAS anti-stall system, already implicated in the Indonesia crash, may also have played a role in the latest disaster? What have pilots said about the 737 Max 8? Pilots in the US had complained late last year about problems controlling the Boeing 737 Max 8 during take-off. They reported difficulties similar to those that contributed to the fatal Lion Air crash in Indonesia in October. The Ethiopian Airlines plane crashed minutes into its flight. Flightradar24, an air traffic monitor, said the plane's \"vertical speed was unstable after take-off\". Documents reveal that pilots flying last November reported engaging autopilot only for the aircraft's nose to pitch lower, prompting the warning system to exclaim: \"Don't sink! Don't sink!\" Two US pilots reported separate incidents involving the 737 Max's automatic anti-stalling system in November. The feature, which was new to the 737 Max family, is designed to keep the plane from stalling. The system prevents the aircraft from pointing upwards at too high an angle, where it could lose its lift. However, according to filings with the US Aviation Safety Reporting System, which pilots use to disclose information anonymously, it appeared to force the nose down. In both cases, pilots were forced to intervene to stop the plane from descending. After the Lion Air crash, Boeing issued a bulletin on what to do regarding erroneous readings from the sensor, which sends out information about what angle a plane is flying at.",

Carole belongs to a generation that, according to a new report, has been \"left scarred\" by joining the workforce just as the financial crisis hit. The Resolution Foundation says this \"crisis cohort\" has suffered from lower pay and worse job prospects for up to a decade since the downturn. Carole's early optimism over job seeking faded when it took her five months just to get an interview, only to find she was competing against candidates with business degrees. \"It was a bit disheartening,\" she says. \"It took a lot of perseverance to keep applying. I didn't expect it to be as tough.\" Since then, she has worked in a leisure centre, in catering and looking after children. Although she has in the meantime been to university, she is now working as a carer. The Resolution Foundation says those who entered the world of work between 2008 and 2011 bore the brunt of the sharp economic decline, when compared to young people entering work before or after the downturn. \"Low-skilled workers faced a higher risk of unemployment, while graduates were more likely to trade down the types of jobs they did, with their pay and prospects stunted as a result,\" said Stephen Clarke, senior economic analyst at the Resolution Foundation. \"These scarring effects have stayed with the crisis cohort for up to a decade, reducing their living standards at a time when they may be facing the additional financial strains of buying a home, or bringing up kids,\" he said. Policy makers should look at ways to mitigate the impact, he added. Although unemployment did not rise as sharply as in previous recessions, in 2012 it was still twice the rate for the population in general, the report says. Those who \"trade down\" to a low-paying occupation because they are struggling to find work rarely move into a higher-paying occupation, even after the economy has picked up, the report adds. The Department for Work and Pensions highlighted new jobcentre programmes which it said were examining ways to support people to change jobs and improve their pay and career progression. \"Employment is at a record high, with youth unemployment having halved since 2010. And we believe every worker should be in a job which reflects their skills and offers opportunities to progress,\" the DWP said.

Overall, almost 90% said they believed sectarianism was a problem in Scotland. But 69% said they believed it was only a problem in specific areas - mainly Glasgow and the west of Scotland. And while 79% said they thought Orange Order marches contributed to sectarianism, just 13% believed that it was the main factor. About half (54%) of the 1,500 people surveyed said they thought that Catholics experienced at least some prejudice, with 41% saying they thought the same about Protestants. Public processions The survey also suggested people believe families, schools and football clubs were best placed to tackle sectarianism. A separate study into the community impact of public processions, including Orange and Irish Republican marches, found that they were viewed negatively by people surveyed in the locations they were held. But it said police data did not show evidence of \"spikes\" in antisocial or criminal behaviour around the marches. However, the study said processions organised by the Scottish Defence League and emerging Loyalist organisations, often taking the form of \"static\" demonstrations, created problems and significant disruption for local authorities and Police Scotland, as well as upset to local communities. Both research projects had been recommended by the independent Advisory Group on Tackling Sectarianism in Scotland. Community Safety minister Paul Wheelhouse said the studies were helping to build a comprehensive understanding of the nature and impact of sectarianism. 'Lowest level' Mr Wheelhouse added: \"This research also shows us that there is a gap between the perception of sectarianism and the reality of people's experiences, and this is something I know the advisory group will be considering in the coming weeks and months. \"Sectarianism has no place in Scotland in the 21st century and we are fully committed to help rid Scotland of the prejudices of the past and tackling this problem which has blighted many communities. \"Religiously aggravated offending is falling and is now at its lowest level in a decade, last year alone there was a 15% decrease, but we will always seek to do all we can to stamp out this problem. \"That's why the Scottish government has invested £9m over three years to tackle this issue, including supporting 44 community-based projects in their efforts to tackle sectarianism in Scotland.\" Anti-sectarian group Nil By Mouth welcomed the research, but renewed its call for Scottish football to implement the recommendations of the sectarianism advisory group and introduce \"strict liability\" - the UEFA standard for tackling offensive behaviour at games which has already been adopted by the English FA.",

The preacher, who was on bail and awaiting trial for money laundering and fraud, had previously said he wanted to clear his name. It is not clear how or when Mr Bushiri left South Africa. In an interview with the BBC, Mr Bushiri refused to reveal how he escaped. But the BBC's Nomsa Maseko in Malawi's capital, Lilongwe, reports that one possibility being considered is that he and his wife Mary were smuggled out by a sophisticated syndicate which specialises in taking stolen cars from South Africa to Malawi. There have also been suggestions in the South African press that he was smuggled out in Malawi's presidential jet - something which has been denied by the authorities in both countries. How has Shepherd Bushiri caused a diplomatic row? Malawi's President Lazarus Chakwera was in South Africa on a state visit last week, and there has been speculation in South Africa that a member of his entourage had aided Mr Bushiri's escape. This has been denied by officials in both Malawi and South Africa, but a diplomatic row is brewing. Malawi's foreign minister told the BBC that he thought the South African authorities suspected the Malawians were trying to smuggle out the controversial preacher. \"When we were coming to Malawi leaving South Africa, we were exposed to stringent checks. It is just now that we are beginning to realise that maybe there was a suspicion that we were trying to smuggle Bushiri out of South Africa,\" Malawi's foreign minister Eisenhower Mkaka told the BBC's Nomsa Maseko on Saturday. On Monday morning he then complained, very publicly, on Twitter about the seven-hour delay to the president's journey, which included \"vague security reasons\" for thorough checks of the presidential plane. He noted that the South African authorities had categorically stated that Mr Bushiri had not escaped on the presidential plane. But he described South Africa's treatment of President Chakwera as \"improper\". Who is Shepherd Bushiri? Mr Bushiri has been described as one of the richest religious leaders in Africa. He claims to have cured people of HIV, made the blind see, changed the fortunes of the impoverished and, on at least one occasion, appeared to walk on air, although none of these claims have been scientifically proven. He grew up in Mzuzu, a city in northern Malawi and moved to Pretoria in South Africa where he leads his church - the Enlightened Christian Gathering. He is so popular that he has been known to fill sports stadiums with followers. But he has also been accused of preying on poor people, desperate to improve their lives, by selling merchandise including \"miracle oil\". The authorities in Botswana shut down his church after it claimed that money could be summoned out of nothing, which contravened financial regulations. What is he accused of? Mr Bushiri is accused of money laundering and fraud, along with his wife and two others. Crime investigators say the case involves 102 million South Africa rand ($6.6m; £5m). Might he lose his house in South Africa? Mr Bushiri appeared at Pretoria's Magistrates Court on 21 October to hear the charges and was granted bail on 4 November. He skipped bail sometime last week, something he described on Saturday as \"a tactical withdrawal meant to preserve lives\". The South African government said on Sunday that it had initiated the extradition process for Malawi to hand him over. The South African police then issued the warrant for his arrest on Monday and said that if he doesn't present himself to court before 19 November he will forfeit his residence. The trial is scheduled for May.",

Their appeal is attributed to having \"squashed\" faces and wrinkled noses. The British Veterinary Association said the surge in popularity of these dogs had \"increased animal suffering\". Sean Wensley, president of the British Veterinary Association (BVA), said: \"Prospective owners need to consider that these dogs can suffer from a range of health problems, from eye ulcers to severe breathing difficulties. \"We strongly encourage people to choose a healthier breed or a crossbreed instead.\" 'He scratches his bulging eyes' The warning has been echoed by the PDSA, the Royal Veterinary College, the RSPCA and the Kennel Club. Meanwhile, evidence suggests that an increasing number of the dogs - more correctly known as brachycephalic or short-muzzled dogs - are being abandoned by their owners. Six dog rescue companies told the BBC that the breeds were being given up in greater numbers. Battersea Dogs Home and Bluecross Animal Rescue received a total of 314 \"flat-faced\" dogs in 2015, compared to 226 in 2014, an increase of 39%. Both charities said they were carrying out more surgical procedures to clear the airways of the dogs they brought in - removing obstructive pieces of tissue and widening nostrils. Steve Gosling, a vet at Battersea Dogs Home, said one of their dogs, Winston the bulldog, was a typical example. He said: \"He's a lovely little chap, about eight years old. He was left with us by his owners and, like many dogs from this breed, he suffers from what we call brachycephalic obstructed airways syndrome. \"In other words, because he has a really short nose that we've bred into him, he has quite serious breathing difficulties.\" 'Tip of iceberg' Mr Gosling said the charity operates on dogs like Winston \"quite regularly\" because shortness of breath can be a very distressing condition. He added: \"And we don't want to re-home animals knowing that we can improve their quality of life.\" A recent survey by the Royal Veterinary College suggests many owners of brachycephalic dogs are not aware of the common underlying health problems. Caroline Reay, chief vet at Bluecross Animal Hospital in Merton, said: \"Most owners - and some vets - think airway noise, and consequently reduced activity, is normal, so the problems are rarely discussed. \"And I think the number of operations we are carrying out is really only the tip of the iceberg\". The extremely broad head shape seen in in pugs and bulldogs is not a natural look. It developed as a result of intense, selective breeding. It has led the RSPCA to call for an urgent review of the breed standards, which are decided by the Kennel Club, and specify how every type of dog should look. Caroline Kisko, the Kennel Club secretary, said: \"The breed standards were set many years ago. If you look back through history there are some dire things that went on, and undoubtedly we would accept all responsibility for that. \"But I would say that in the here-and-now, after all of the changes to the standards that were made in 2009, we would expect dogs to be far healthier if they are winning prizes at dogs shows.\" Mrs Kisko said the problems with brachycephalic dogs were being perpetuated in the main by disreputable puppy farms. She said: \"If we continue to allow dogs to be brought in from central and eastern Europe where there is no concern for how these dogs are bred, it is inevitable that pet owners will end up with dogs they can't deal with. \"These are breeds which aren't hugely suited to pet homes. If you want a pet that will run around and chase a ball and so on, don't go out and buy any short-faced breed based on what celebrities are walking around with under their arm.\" This summer the Royal Veterinary College opened the UK's first specialist clinic to address problems in flat-faced dogs. More than 12,000 vets and vet nurses have signed an online petition calling for a working party to address the increasing health problems in brachycephalic dogs and cats.",

In the US, driver error - weaving out of the lane, drink driving and distracted driving, for example - is a factor in at least 60% of fatal crashes, according to National Highway Traffic Safety Administration . \"Your automated car isn't sitting around getting distracted, making a phone call, looking at something it shouldn't be looking at or simply not keeping track of things,\" says Danny Sullivan, editor in chief of MarketingLand.com, who took a two-minute ride in Google's car on a closed course at a technology convention last year. \"It's not looking down to change the radio and looking up and noticing all the cars have stopped.\" Google's car adheres strictly to the speed limit and follows the rules of the road, says Tom Jacobs, a spokesman for the Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles, who has also ridden in the Google car. \"When the car is on self-driving mode, it doesn't speed, it doesn't cut you off, it doesn't tailgate.\" And in the future, autonomous cars will be able to communicate with one another, allowing them to negotiate lane changes and overtaking, analysts predict. A more productive commute \"If you truly trust the intelligence of the vehicle, then you get in the vehicle and you do our work while you're travelling,\" says Lynne Irwin, an engineer and director of the Local Roads Program at Cornell University. \"That would stretch my day, it would make me more productive.\" Fewer traffic jams... Traffic usually slows as the volume of cars on a road increases, because drivers slow their speed to accommodate the narrowed distance from the car ahead of them. But autonomous vehicles, especially if they can communicate with each other, could in theory drive nearly bumper to bumper at high speed, says Irwin. \"You could get a lot more people moved at a higher speed on an existing road way,\" he says. \"Congestion would be something you could tell your grandchildren about, once upon a time.\" ...but more cars Americans have been driving less for a number of years, a trend that is especially significant among young people . But driverless cars could extend car ownership to some groups of people previously unable to own a car. \"You give people mobility who might not have mobility today,\" says Sven Beiker, executive director of the Center for Automotive Research at Stanford University. \"They can see the personal automobile as a service provider.\" This includes elderly drivers who feel uncomfortable getting behind the wheel at night, whose eyesight has weakened or whose reaction time has slowed. Also, people with epilepsy now unable or forbidden to drive could more easily get around, as could people with broken limbs, paralysis or other disabilities. No more school run Older children could take the car alone, potentially freeing suburban parents from chauffeuring drudgery. A car could take the children to school early in the morning, then return home on its own to pick up the parents for their commute. After a late-night carouse, a drinker could find and reserve a hire car on their phone, then have it pick them up and drive them home. Car as personal train carriage Many Americans already see adventure in long road trips. They might schedule even lengthier journeys if they can relax and rest while the car keeps its eyes on the road. Designs will change... Google's car is a modified Toyota Prius, but expect the designs to take a new directions, says Irwin. \"When you get to a technological change, the first thing we do is we mimic what people are familiar with and comfortable with,\" he says. \"People like to look out the window so I suspect we'll keep windows in some shape, but maybe they don't need to be quite the way they are now. If cars aren't going to hit each other, maybe we don't need bumpers.\" ...but roads won't Four million miles of roads criss-cross the US, and 50% of those are unpaved, says Irwin. While national road design standards - lane and shoulder width, curvature radius, lines of sight and stopping distance - are constantly updated to account for changing driver habits and automotive innovations, the US simply has too much infrastructure already in place to revamp the system, he says. And VIPs will still need human drivers Driving a high-profile passenger demands a lot more than just keeping the car on the road from beginning to end, says Tony Scotti, a trainer of security drivers. In addition to piloting the vehicle safely, security drivers must survey the road and the beginning and end points for potential hazards or security threats, be able to summon authorities and back-up, and know where the local hospital is, he says. \"A professional security driver knows the signs that things aren't good and can go to hell in a hand basket,\" he says. \"I don't see that the car, computer or otherwise, could figure that out.\" Also, he says, kidnapping insurance policies held by many high-level corporate executives require a trained security driver.",

The mistake meant that the wrong type of networking jack was soldered into place on some of the circuit boards. This might also have a knock-on effect and delay future production runs of the device. Jack shift Released in late February, the Raspberry Pi has been developed to be a cheap computer that will help children and other beginners get to grips with computer programming. The machine is available in two models. A model \"A\" without networking and a model \"B\" that comes with a network jack. However,Raspberry Pi announced on its blogthat some of the parts making up the first batch of the model Bs had been accidentally switched in the Chinese factory where they are being made. Production has been outsourced to China in a bid to keep costs of the bare-bones machine in check. The component in question is a specific type of ethernet jack or connector. Unfortunately, the factory soldered on the wrong type of jack which, if left in place, would leave the gadget unable to connect to a computer network. Sold out Swapping the wrong jacks for the right ones on the boards that were already made up was a \"minor problem to fix\", said Raspberry Pi. However, it added, there might be a delay for future gadgets as it sought sources of the correct component. Large stocks of the wrong component had been built up as production got going, it said, and these were now being swapped for the right ethernet jack. \"We are very, very sorry,\" wrote Raspberry Pi community manager Liz Upton on the organisation's blog. The bare-bones computer project has proved hugely popular and the websites of two of the firms contracted to build the machines crashed when the Pi went on general sale.

            "input": "Police encountered Scout Schultz, 21, outside a campus dormitory in Atlanta after a call about \"a person with a knife and a gun\" late on Saturday. Video shows Schultz refusing to obey police commands, and advancing on them. A family lawyer said Schultz was holding a closed multi-tool. The student's parents said police should not have used lethal force. \"Why did you have to shoot?\" the victim's father said at an emotional news conference on Monday. \"That's the question, I mean that's the only question that matters right now. Why did you kill my son?\" What happened to Schultz? In a video filmed by a fellow student at the Georgia Institute of Technology, Schultz is pictured outside the entrance to a parking garage and can be heard saying \"Shoot me!\" several times while walking towards the officers. \"Drop the knife, man, come on,\" a police officer responds. \"Nobody wants to hurt you,\" another says, before one officer eventually opens fire, hitting Schultz in the chest. Schultz did not appear to be holding a gun, investigators said, despite what had initially been reported to police. The computer engineering student from Lilburn, Georgia, was transported to the Grady Memorial Hospital, later dying from injuries sustained in the shooting, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) said. Why did police open fire? Police in the US are permitted - and often required - to use lethal force against any suspect who they believe presents an immediate danger to officers or members of the community. Officers must have a \"reasonable belief\" that an individual is capable of committing violence, in order to fire on them. Exact figures for police shootings vary widely, since police forces are not required to submit incidents to the FBI for data collection. But according to the Washington Post, which tracks civilian deaths at the hands of police, nearly 1,000 people were killed across the country in 2015. No police officers from the Georgia Tech Police Department (GTPD) were injured in Saturday night's incident, the schools' police force has said. The officer who opened fire has not been named. Georgia Tech's campus police do not carry Tasers, but are equipped with pepper spray. School representatives say it was probably the first on-campus police shooting in the past 20 years, if ever. Who was Scout Schultz? Schultz - who identified as intersex and preferred to be referred to by the pronoun \"they\" - was the president of the Pride Alliance at Georgia Tech, and was politically active in progressive causes. \"We are all deeply saddened by what has occurred,\" the group said in a statement. \"They have been the driving force behind Pride Alliance for the past two years,\" the group said. \"They pushed us to do more events and a larger variety [of] events.\" Schultz's mother Lynne said Scout had numerous medical issues, suffered from depression and had attempted suicide two years ago. \"Why didn't they [police] use some nonlethal force, like pepper spray or Tasers?\" she told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. What reaction has there been? A lawyer for Schultz's parents, Chris Stewart, said the blade on the folding multi-tool that Schultz was allegedly holding was not open, and noted that it appears in the video that Schultz never ran towards police. \"I just don't understand how they couldn't have Tasers,\" Mr Stewart said, adding that he thinks Schultz was \"having a mental breakdown and didn't know what to do\". The student's parents William and Lynne Schultz said that they were performing well in school, but suggested that their school workload may have contributed to their mental condition. Mr Stewart added: \"People just breakdown. That's doesn't mean they deserve to die.\" \"The area was secured. There was no one around at risk,\" the lawyer said, questioning whether the university police had received sufficient training to deal with suspects with mental health issues. Georgia Tech said it was \"deeply saddened\" by what had happened.",

Spall has worked with Leigh on a number of films, including Life is Sweet, All or Nothing and Topsy-Turvy, his 1999 film about Gilbert and Sullivan. \"Turner as a character is compelling,\" said Leigh. \"I want to explore the man, his working life, his relationships and how he lived. \"But what fascinates me most is the drama that lies in the tension between this driven eccentric and the epic, timeless world he evoked in his masterpieces.\" Director and playwright Leigh is renowned for bringing his actors in to the creative process early, using improvisation to help mould scenes in the eventual film. The as yet untitled project is being produced by Focus Features, the team behind such recent releases as Anna Karenina, Moonrise Kingdom and Hyde Park on Hudson. \"We're immensely looking forward to this new venture with Mike,\" said Alison Thompson, co-president of Focus Features International. Leigh's \"unique style and story-telling\", she continued, was sure \"to deliver a compelling and beautiful film about this ground-breaking artist\". Turner exhibitions continue to attract large audiences, while his works are mainstays in the UK's leading galleries. In 2010 a new auction record was set for a Turner when Modern Rome - Campo Vaccino sold for £29.7 million.

Three other council areas are also narrowly above 50 cases per 100,000, a key benchmark for deciding the appropriate tier of restrictions. The Scottish government is due to announce its decision on Friday. On Tuesday, First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said Moray was likely to remain under level three Covid restrictions when the rest of mainland Scotland moves down to level two next week. However, since then a growing number of cases in Glasgow has given cause for concern. Meetings took place on Thursday with local public health teams, and national clinical director Prof Jason Leitch said the outbreak in the south of Glasgow was \"relatively contained\". Meanwhile, NHS Grampian said Moray's outbreak was showing \"signs of improvement\". Public Health Scotland publishes data from three days ago, because more recent figures are often revised upwards later. On 11 May the rates per 100,000 population were: The Glasgow cases are concentrated mainly in the south of the city with one district, Pollokshields West, seeing 47 positive cases over the previous seven days, giving a local case rate of 1,008 per 100,000 population. Most of mainland Scotland is scheduled to move to level two Covid restrictions on Monday, which will allow people to hug and visit other households indoors. Most islands will move to level one. Prof Leitch said earlier that people should be concerned about the increasing numbers in Scotland's largest city. But he added: \"It is relatively contained, not yet exponential growth like we have seen with this virus before.\" The reasons behind the increase in cases in Glasgow are not yet known, although it is suspected the so-called Indian variant has played a role. NHS Greater Glasgow Clyde and Glasgow City Council is writing to all households in the G41 and G42 areas, asking people to get tested regardless of whether they have symptoms. Dr Linda de Caestecker, director of public health at the health board, said the south of the city appeared to be affected and there had been a \"cluster of outbreaks\" linked to household transmission. A leading epidemiologist told BBC Scotland the latest spikes in Glasgow and Moray showed \"a loss of control of the pandemic\". Dr Deepti Gurdasani, from Queen Mary University London, warned against restrictions being eased and said \"the government should be considering the opposite\". 'Wider situation' She told the Good Morning Scotland programme: \"In Scotland as a whole, we have actually seen the number of new cases double in the last week. \"While the cases are so low, it's hard to see exponential rises. This is what early exponential rises look like and we're seeing loss of control of the pandemic. \"The situation is likely much wider and other places will follow unless action is taken to prevent and pre-empt this now.\" Ms Sturgeon and other leading politicians have also issued words of caution this week around celebrations of Eid - one of the biggest holidays in the Muslim calendar. In the north of Scotland, outbreaks have also been seen in areas such as Lossiemouth and Aberlour. Additional mobile testing units are to be deployed in communities. Deputy director of public health for NHS Grampian, Chris Littlejohn, said the number of people coming forward for testing had increased and that it was possible the outbreak in Elgin may be starting to plateau. He added: \"Despite a fourfold increase in the numbers being tested, the positivity rate has stayed broadly the same, which is encouraging and means the outbreak isn't currently any worse than we already feared.\" Elgin - which has seen dozens of cases associated with Elgin Academy - and Keith are said to have been been particular hotspots.

The crowd chanted anti-al-Shabab slogans as they waited for the mayor of Mogadishu, the prime minister and the president to arrive. Thousands came. It was something never seen before in the aftermath of a bomb attack. There have been small protests in the past but people have been afraid of being targeted by the Islamist group. This demonstration, and the rioting in the streets at the scene of Saturday's blast, betrayed a real change of atmosphere in Mogadishu - from fear to anger. And that's why this bomb attack is different - why this could be a turning point. \"Al-Shabab started to kill 10 people, we kept silent, then they killed 20, and next they killed 100,\" said Somali President Mohamed Abdullahi \"Farmajo\" Mohamed. \"Now, they killed 300 innocent Somali civilians. \"We are telling [al-Shabab] that from now on, we are all soldiers and will come to you. We will no longer tolerate a Somali boy being killed and a Somali girl being killed. And we'll defend this flag.\" But the crack of gunfire near the scene of the blast at K5 - the Kilometre Five junction - was perhaps a stronger indication of public feeling. Stones were thrown, guns fired, people killed - for no reason other than the crowd was angry and had only a few security officers to channel that anger against. That anger needs to be handled carefully and directed well - against al-Shabab, not the government or security forces for not doing enough to stop these attacks. Al-Shabab have not said they carried out this attack, perhaps because of the number of civilians killed. K5 was probably not the target. Security sources say the truck had travelled through a number of lighter checkpoints, with its cargo of homemade and some military grade explosives disguised with sacks of rice. When it reached Kilometre Six, suspicions were raised and the security forces called ahead. The driver detonated his explosives before he could be stopped. It seems to have been a coincidence that he did so next to a petrol tanker, upping the death toll. At one of Mogadishu's busiest junctions at one of the busiest times of the week, the blast tore through the traffic-jammed streets and crowded pavements. Security sources disagree over the intended target. In the past, \"complex\" al-Shabab attacks involved a first, smaller bomb at a security gate allowing a second, larger bomb to get through and cause greater damage. In this case a second, smaller car bomb was intercepted and the driver arrested just before it exploded - killing and injuring a number of people. The driver is accused of taking part in a previous large-scale attack in Mogadishu and is believed to be a member of al-Shabab. The vehicles were travelling along different routes but they appeared to be moving towards the airport - the \"green zone\" of Mogadishu where the UN and many international embassies are based. This may have been the target or maybe the foreign ministry or a new Turkish military base. A third explosion further out of town has not been widely reported but it happened around the same time as the second blast, so could have been part of a botched plan. The security forces are expected to release more information about the blast and about the efforts being made to stop al-Shabab from striking again. Amid the anger and determination among those wearing red bandanas was a man who also gave a realistic picture of the fight against al-Shabab. \"We can't stop these people - they live among us - only God can stop them,\" he said.",

With the school leaving age being raised to 18, report author Alan Smithers says GCSEs will no longer be relevant as end-of-school exams. Prof Smithers calls for a system to replace the current \"untidy mix\". The report by Prof Smithers and Pamela Robinson of the University of Buckingham says there should be a clearer divide in England between lower and upper secondary school. Selection It argues for GCSEs to be taken earlier - at the age of 14 - after which pupils could move on to different types of education, such as academic, vocational or technical courses. At present in England's schools, Prof Smithers says, there is a system in which a form of undeclared selection takes place. Options are chosen at 14 and exams are taken at 16. This determines pupils' future pathways but in a system which, he says, does not want to be seen as selective. \"We've got a bit of a hang-up about differentiating. It's a hangover from the 11-plus,\" says Prof Smithers. He says it means that \"selection is fudged so we don't have clear pathways in the later years of schooling\". In particular, he argues, it means that there is a lack of clear routes into technical and work-based training. \"Hence we have to import so many skilled workers from abroad,\" he says. Former education secretary Lord Baker also recently argued the merits of a transfer at the age of 14, the starting age for the university technical colleges which he is promoting. These will be aimed at providing high-quality vocational training for teenagers. The report for the Sutton Trust looked at how other countries structured secondary education and concluded that England needed to make a distinction between lower and upper secondary school, proposing that this boundary should be at the age of 14. This will raise questions about how pupils would be selected for different paths at this age - with any admissions system likely to be controversial. But Sir Peter Lampl, chairman of the Sutton Trust, said that \"effectively we have differentiation by default: all too often children's choices are dictated by the school they happen to be in, not their own talents and interests\".",

Mizanonline, the Iranian judiciary's official news agency, said Wang was part of \"an infiltration project\" that sought to gather \"highly confidential articles\" for US and British institutions including the US State Department, Princeton University, Harvard Kennedy School and the British Institute of Persian Studies. \"Before his arrest he was able to digitally archive 4,500 pages of the country's documents while under covert surveillance,\" the agency said. Sentence 'can be appealed' Earlier this year, the authorities in Tehran said as many as 70 people they described as spies were serving sentences in the capital's jails. The identities of only a handful have been made public. \"This person, who was gathering information and was directly guided by America, was sentenced to 10 years in prison, but the sentence can be appealed,\" Mr Ejeie said on Sunday. He said the decision was taken by an Iranian court, without giving any further details. In a statement, the US Department of State did not refer to any specific person but called on Iranian authorities to release all foreign citizens it is holding \"unjustly... so they can return to their families\". \"The Iranian regime continues to detain US citizens and other foreigners on fabricated national security-related charges,\" an official said.",

Blackwell, of Launceston, Cornwall, appeared before Warwick Crown Court on Thursday, where restrictions on reporting proceedings were lifted.

Following the pleas, Warwickshire Police investigated a string of sexual offences against four women in Cornwall. Blackwell then appeared in court in May where he pleaded guilty to a further 20 sexual offences, including nine counts of rape, four counts of sexual assault, two counts of assault by penetration and three counts of voyeurism. These offences were committed against three women between 2005 and 2019.

Talbot was a teacher at a school in the Manchester area at the time and took boys away on camping and boating trips. Sheriff Nikola Stewart asked for background reports and will sentence him next month. Talbot, 67, of Greater Manchester, had denied the allegations but was convicted of seven of the nine charges he faced after a nine-day trial. He was cleared of two charges - one of indecent assault and one of lewd, indecent and libidinous practices - on not proven verdicts. The offences, against boys aged 15 to 17, all took place between 1978 and 1981. They happened during separate trips to two locations - one near Moffat in southern Scotland, and one on the Caledonian Canal in Inverness. During the trial, a succession of witnesses, now men in their 50s who cannot be named for legal reasons, told of their initial excitement at going on the trips - sometimes the first time away from their parents. At the time, Talbot was a young teacher \"with a more relaxed attitude than others\" and would talk to the boys about topics such as pop music, alcohol and sex, the court heard. The men went on to recount how Talbot abused his position of trust to attack them more than 35 years ago. One man told the court he was indecently assaulted as a teenage boy after a visit to a pub on a camping trip left him \"very much the worse for wear\". The witness told of his \"horror\" when he awoke - after being \"singled out\" to go to the pub - to find Talbot touching him in a tent when he was partially clothed. Another witness gave evidence over a video link from Australia to recount how he woke in his tent to find Talbot making a sexual advance on him. A further witness said he was left \"petrified\" when Talbot indecently assaulted him on a trip to the Caledonian Canal in 1979. Stone Roses frontman Ian Brown, 54, who was not an alleged victim, also gave evidence at the trial and said he had never forgotten the moment Talbot invited one of his young friends to sleep in his tent on a school camping trip. Det Insp Bryan Lee welcomed the guilty verdicts, describing Talbot as a \"sexual predator who hid behind a mask of respectability\". \"He used his position as a teacher to engineer situations which allowed him to isolate and target his victims,\" he said. \"He took advantage of his position of trust to abuse young men in his care. \"Thanks to the bravery of his victims, their courage in speaking to us and their commitment and support throughout this investigation, and to close working with Greater Manchester Police, we have been able to secure this conviction today.\" He added the police message was that they would listen and take action on all reports of abuse no matter where or when they occurred. Talbot was jailed for five years at Manchester Crown Court in 2015 for the indecent assault of two 14-year-old boys.

Violence after Friday's verdict in Panchkula in northern Haryana state had killed some 38 people. The self-styled holy man was found guilty of sexually assaulting two female followers and jailed for 10 years for each, to run consecutively. There were initial reports of a 10-year sentence but his lawyers confirmed the sentencing was of consecutive, not concurrent, terms. Prosecutors had called for a life sentence. A lawyer for the victims said 50 women had come forward with allegations of rape and they would be seeking further investigation in the case. \"We believe there are at least 48 more victims who were sexually abused and who may have been killed or are too scared to come out and testify against Ram Rahim,\" lawyer Utsav Singh Bains told AFP. Ram Rahim Singh denies charges of murder in two cases due to be heard next month. Following the sentencing, the chief minister of Haryana state, where Singh's ashram is located, called an emergency meeting. A curfew has already been imposed in several areas of Haryana and Punjab states, while the capital Delhi is on alert. The army has been put on standby and police say they have been given \"shoot on sight\" orders in case of trouble. Singh, 50, was not taken to court to hear his sentence. Instead, the judge who convicted him was flown to the prison in the town of Rohtak where Singh is being held. Who is Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh? The prison has been transformed into a fortress, with journalists banned within a 1.5km (one mile) radius. Rohtak, in Haryana state, is also under police and military lockdown, the roads lined with barbed-wire barricades. There is also heavy security outside Singh's 1,000-acre compound in Sirsa, Haryana.

But others such as buttercups fail to bounce back after damage. The remarkable abilities of some flowers to recover quickly from serious injury, have been previously overlooked by science, say the authors of this new work. Researchers looked at 23 native and cultivated flower species in the UK, Europe, Australia and North and South America. They examined species which had suffered accidents and they also carried out experiments where the flowers were tethered at either 45 or 90 degrees off their normal orientation. For many flowers, their ability to reproduce depends on the careful alignment of their sexual organs or stigma and their nectar tubes in order for a visiting pollinator to help them make seeds. The scientists found that when these species were damaged, they could accurately reposition their sexual organs. \"The common spotted orchid does it largely by just bending the main stem,\" said Prof Scott Armbruster from the University of Portsmouth who led the research. \"It's pretty quick, within a day or two, it's reoriented its main stem so that now all the flowers are in the right position,\" he told BBC News. \"The slightly more interesting ones were where each individual flower re-orients on its own, by the sub stem, that's what's called the pedicel connecting the flower to the main stem, and that is bending or twisting. And that's what you see with aconitum.\" These rapid recovering species were usually bilaterally symmetrical flowers, which is where the left and right hand sides mirror each other. Examples of these types of flowers include snapdragon, orchid and sweet pea. Other species, termed radially symmetrical, such as sunflower, petunia, buttercup and wild rose have far fewer abilities to bounce back. Even if they lose their orientation, they are still capable of reproducing. \"The ones that do it are the ones where it matters. And the ones that don't do it are the ones where it doesn't really matter,\" said Prof Armbruster. \"The radially symmetrical flowers like clematis had a nice radially symmetrical flower. And the same with passion flower, and they don't bounce back. We tether them and they just stay there or they might change position but not in a way that corrects their position.\" The research has been published in the journal New Phytologist.

The mild drizzle in the cool Nevada air apparently proved too much for the craft touted, by the company at least, as the future of commuting. The drone was given permission to fly by regulators just last week. The two-person electric-diesel hybrid is said to have a range of 70 miles (113km) and it is intended that it will one day work autonomously. More from CES: Billed as one of the highlights of this year's CES trade show, press had been invited to witness the flight at nearby Boulder City Airport, but \"inclement weather\" meant it was cancelled early Monday afternoon. Asked about the weather, an employee at the airport told the BBC: \"Right now it looks like it could be sprinkling very softly.\" Similar ideas have been tested in other parts of the world, most notably in Dubai, where German firm Volocopter flew its 18-rotor drone in September last year. The SureFly drone, made by the Ohio-based Workhorse Group, has four propeller arms holding a total of eight propellers. It is said to be able to carry up to 400lb (181kg). Workhorse told the BBC: \"The SureFly is a purpose-built experimental aircraft and the fuselage on the SureFly at CES has not been waterproofed, although it will be on future production models. \"To avoid potential risks associated with rain affecting the aircraft’s electrical system and the SureFly’s rotor blades, the SureFly’s first flight has been postponed.\" Patrick Miller, from Unmanned Aerial Systems Magazine, said such delays were not unusual and that the company was wise to avoid any remote risk of a malfunction. \"With an unmanned aircraft designed to carry a person,\" he said, \"why risk negative publicity by flying in rainy weather?\" Workhorse said it hoped to carry out the maiden flight soon.

She will brief EU leaders at a summit for the last time before October, when both sides hope a deal will be done on the UK's March 2019 departure. But the European Commission president suggested UK cabinet splits were making things more difficult. Arriving at the summit in Brussels, Jean-Claude Juncker said: \"I don't have to lecture Theresa May, but I would like our British friends to make clear their position. \"We cannot go on to live with a split cabinet. They have to say what they want and we will respond to that.\" Asked if talks could end in no deal, Mr Juncker said: \"We are preparing for different scenarios - on the proper withdrawal agreement but, in parallel, we are working on the no deal.\" The prime minister, who has been under pressure at home within her own party, has called her cabinet together for what has been billed as a make-or-break meeting at Chequers on 6 July to agree the UK's blueprint for its future relations with the EU. Arriving in Brussels, Mrs May said she was looking forward to \"securing our strong future partnership\" which she said was in the interests of both the EU and UK . \"I think both sides are keen to continue that work at a faster pace than we have done up till now and certainly we would welcome that.\" She added that the UK would publish a White Paper setting out \"in more detail what strong partnership the United Kingdom wants to see with the European Union in the future\". Mrs May said it was in everyone's interests that a new partnership on economic and security matters be agreed. Cabinet divisions over the UK's customs arrangements after December 2020, when the transition period agreed with the EU is due to end, have yet to be resolved, as have arguments over the future movement of goods and people across the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. Mrs May's former top aide, Nick Timothy, has urged her to face down her opponents in the cabinet, telling the Daily Telegraph the \"time for playing nice and being exploited are over\".

With less than nine months to go before the UK's scheduled exit, businesses have issued warnings about the impact on jobs of leaving the EU without an agreement. The prime minister has been holding a number of face-to-face meetings with European counterparts on day one of the two-day summit, which is focused on the migration challenges facing Europe and eurozone reform. The remaining 27 EU leaders are due to discuss Brexit on their own on Friday morning, by which point Mrs May is expected to have left Brussels. On the eve of the summit, Mr Varadkar said he wanted \"detailed proposals\" from the UK on how it would honour the \"clear commitments\" made in December about the Irish border and citizens' rights. Can May persuade EU to relax red lines? By the BBC's political editor Laura Kuenssberg The UK is eager for the EU to become more flexible. To move away from what the government regards as a rigid approach from the EU Commission. At dinner on Thursday night there's a chance for her to persuade the other leaders to loosen that approach. Only they can tell their negotiators to ease up on their red lines. In return for that request, she'll promise that the UK will be able to agree on its blueprint for the future relationship between the UK and EU, at a meeting of her cabinet next week. With almost daily skirmishes at home - that could prove optimistic. Read Laura's full blog \"Time is running out for the withdrawal agreement to be concluded satisfactorily by the October European Council,\" he said. \"I expect EU leaders to send a strong message to the UK that negotiations with the taskforce need to intensify.\" The EU's negotiator Michel Barnier has said \"serious divergences\" remain over the question of backstop arrangements for the Irish border if neither of the UK's proposed customs proposals are deemed workable. Elsewhere, Mrs May will seek to show solidarity with the rest of Europe in their efforts to deal with illegal migrant flows across the Mediterranean from Africa and the Middle East. The issue has divided Europe for more than two years but tensions have increased since the election of a populist government in Italy, which has pledged to crack down on unlawful migration, and growing political uncertainty in Germany amid a backlash against Chancellor Angela Merkel's immigration policies. Mrs May is expected to stress the need to tackle the problem of people smuggling at its source, citing the success of a project in Nigeria where once the dangers of crossing the Mediterranean were explained to people, their attitudes to illegal working in the UK changed. On security, the prime minister will call for collective action against misinformation, cyber warfare and money laundering by \"hostile states\" such as Russia. One example of this, she will say, is the UK's sharing of details of Russian intelligence officers expelled after the attacks on Sergei and Yulia Skripal in Salisbury with EU allies. The working dinner coincided with England's final World Cup group game against Belgium, whose prime minister Charles Michel was also present. The UK's permanent representative in Brussels couldn't say how much of the match Mrs May, who on Wednesday ordered St George's flags to be flown above No 10 for remaining England games, would see.",

            "input": "By Matt PintusYou and Yours The internet giant now requires all websites to make clear they are second hand tickets sellers. Any secondary site advertising on Google now has to carry a disclaimer at the top of its webpage saying they aren't the primary seller of tickets. Google spokesperson Jennifer Kaiser said the company felt it needed to do more to protect consumers. She told BBC Radio 4's You & Yours programme: \"We felt like we needed to do more to make sure the advertising of secondary ticketing is clear on our platform.\" The four largest resale websites have now made the changes demanded. They are Get Me In, Viagogo, StubHub and Seatwave. Secondary ticketing websites have attracted controversy over the last few years. They have been accused of misleading fans by saying they are official sellers, over-charging them, or selling tickets that are invalid if they are re-sold. Bow to pressure Ms Kaiser, Google's head of advertising communications in Europe, Middle East and Africa told You & Yours how the criteria will work. \"To carry on advertising on Google, secondary sites can't use words like \"official\", they can't use the artist or venue name in the website URL, and they'll need to clearly say they are a reseller at the top of their page.\" Last year, Ed Sheeran's promoter, Stuart Galbraith, asked Google to change how it listed secondary sites after Viagogo had paid to be listed top of the Google search, and said wrongly that it was an \"official\" seller of Ed Sheeran tickets. Stuart Galbraith told You and Yours: \"Google needs to bow to pressure and stop taking money for tickets which are sold on the secondary market.\" Research by the campaign group FanFair Alliance showed that in 77% of searches for popular artists, a secondary website had paid to be top of the Google search result. Breaking the law Liam Galloway and his girlfriend, Francesca Livesey, both aged 28 and from Bradford, were convinced Viagogo was an official site after seeing it at the top of the Google search. \"The top website for Ed Sheeran tickets was Viagogo,\" said Liam. \"It had all the signs of verification. We purchased the tickets for just over £100 but the site crashed. We tried again twice and it eventually worked, but the end total taken from our account was well over £2000\". Viagogo didn't respond when asked about Liam and Francesca's case. Google says its new policy is the result of a long consultation period with advertisers, music artists and fans. Ms Kaiser said: \"We felt like we needed to do more to make sure the advertising of secondary ticketing is clear on our platform. We're not just going to certify resellers and go away. We'll be constantly making sure they maintain the criteria in order to run advertising.\" In November 2017, an investigation by the Competition and Markets Authority found that secondary ticketing sites may be breaking the law, by failing to tell consumers about restrictions on the tickets they're buying. Google insists that it takes down any misleading advertising and will support any regulation changes surrounding secondary ticketing. \"At the end of the day secondary ticketing is completely lawful and it's a consumer right to resell your ticket if you want to. If the government wants to push for further rules we would certainly comply with those rules\", Ms Kaiser said.",

Huge sums were spent to prepare for the consequences of this bug - or rather feature - in the way some older systems handled dates. But midnight passed on the 1 January and the crisis failed to materialise - planes did not fall from the sky, power stations did not melt down. So was the Y2K bug all a fuss about nothing? That is certainly the view of Sir Bernard Jenkin MP who has compared what he believes are exaggerated fears about a no-deal Brexit to the bug. He told BBC Radio 4's Today programme on Monday: \"We will look back and wonder what all the fuss was about - a bit like the millennium bug, remember all the experts on the millennium bug?\" On Twitter, I asked people who had been involved in battling the bug for their response to this remark. There followed a tidal wave of tweets, nearly all of them hostile to Sir Bernard's analysis. IT experts recalled their work in the late 1990s. \"I spent months during 1998-99 checking and fixing software to make sure that radio systems for emergency services et cetera didn't fail,\" said Peter West. Frances Coppola, who was working for an insurance company running teams of analysts and programmers, said: \"We found bugs and we fixed them. It's because we did such a good job that people who weren't involved think there was never a problem.\" Richard Gaywood, who worked as an intern on Y2K testing in the nuclear industry for three summers, said: \"We tested every scrap of software we had. I, personally, spent weeks and weeks on just one of them. I didn't find bugs. Colleagues did. They were fixed in good time.\" James Christie, who was working as a test manager for IBM at an insurance company, said: \"I wrote a report warning that without remedial Y2K work the company [one of the biggest UK insurers] couldn't produce credible accounts that would pass the annual audit. The share price would have crashed. I was believed.\" And Matthew Hackling said: \"I climbed through the roof spaces of maximum security prisons doing inventory of PLCs [programmable logic controllers] for Y2K - 80% of systems worked fine, 15% date-rolled over to [the] 1970s, 3% failed, maybe 2% catastrophically.\" Now, I did get one response from an IT consultant in the City, John McGregor, who thought the introduction of the euro had been a much bigger problem. He said: \"[The] millennium bug was largely a myth. Everything [was] checked. Only [a] tiny proportion of very badly written software had [an] issue.\" 'Hard work' But just about everyone else said it was only thanks to huge amounts of effort and years of planning that the real threat from the bug had been mitigated. Alec Muffett, who worked at Sun Microsystems from 1992 to 2009, said: \"Anyone saying the millennium bug was in some sense a damp squib is ignoring that its being a squib was due to hard work.\" Of course many of those involved made a great deal of money from the Y2K preparations and you would not expect them to look back and reflect that their employers had bought into a myth. But whatever the true scale of the threat, it seems clear that doing nothing about the millennium bug in the late 1990s was not an option that industries dependent on the smooth running of computer systems could afford to take. Just by comparison, imagine telling the NHS and other organisation in 2016 that there was no need to update ageing Windows systems to counter the threat from ransomware. Sensible advice about a mythical danger - or reckless complacency? You decide.",

Federation chairman Paul McKeever said the cuts were wrong-headed and unfair. Mr McKeever told the federation's annual conference in Bournemouth: \"Home Secretary, we're in the forefront of this fight against terrorism; we're in the forefront of keeping our communities safe, and yet we see what's perceived by most of us as an attack on the police service and we don't understand why.\" Stormy reception But Mrs May said the plans were to \"ensure our police come back [from the recession] not just intact but better equipped for the future\". \"Let's stop pretending that any country can avoid balancing the books.\" Mrs May said the cuts were essential as part of the spending review, but she also wanted to work with the police on cutting red tape and finding ways to modernise the job. However, officers say they feel under attack from the government on a range of fronts. Officer numbers are falling after reaching record highs, and central government funding for police is being cut by a fifth under the spending review. Ministers have also backed a far-reaching package of reforms which they say will modernise pay and conditions and award talented, hard-working front-line officers. But chief constables are struggling to make the cuts work and the Chief Inspector of Constabulary has warned that some forces will find it difficult to reduce budgets without cutting the front line. 'Exceptional risks' The 1993 Sheehy report called for performance-related pay, cuts in overtime and fixed-term contracts. The Police Federation argued against it, saying policing was a unique job with exceptional risks. Most of the package was scrapped after officers staged a rally at Wembley Arena. The home secretary's visit to the conference comes after a stormy first day. Opening the conference, a leading member of the Police Federation accused the government of \"hating\" the police and wanting to \"destroy\" the service. John Giblin said: \"We acknowledge that some cuts are necessary due to the parlous state of the country's finances, but we feel greatly let down that we are not considered to be a protected priority area by the government. \"This government, to put it bluntly, hate the police service and want to destroy it in order to rebuild it again, but in their image.\"",

It is the first time since the summer of 2016 that prices have declined in two consecutive months. However, on an annual basis the Halifax said the cost of homes was still rising - by 2.2%. That is the slowest rate of increase since July 2017. Rival Nationwide has already said that prices rose by 3.2% in the year to January. \"Although employment levels grew by 102,000 in the three months to November, household finances are still under pressure as consumer prices continue to grow faster than wages,\" said Russell Galley, the managing director of Halifax Community Bank. \"Additionally, it's still too early to see any impact for first-time buyers from the abolition of stamp duty on purchases of up to £300,000, which was announced in the November Budget,\" he said. One factor behind the falls may be the rise in variable and tracker mortgage rates, which followed the Bank of England's decision to raise interest rates in November.

There are concerns the invasive species could become established in Scottish rivers and compete with native Atlantic salmon for food. The Ness, which flows from the northern end of Loch Ness to Inverness and the Beauly Firth, and Helmsdale in Sutherland were among the rivers pink salmon were spotted in during 2017. The fish have already colonised some rivers in Norway. Fisheries Management Scotland has issued advice to anglers on what to do if they should encounter the fish this year.

Anglers have also been asked to report sightings of pink salmon, including their spawning activity in August and September. The invasive species spawns at a different time of the year from Atlantic salmon. In its new advice, Fisheries Management Scotland said the Scottish government had been involved in work looking at how to control pink salmon. Options being considered include allowing district salmon fishery boards and trusts to capture the fish under licence in targeted efforts.

The experience included wearing a space suit and exploring an underwater mock-up of the space station. It is a neutral-buoyancy lab, designed to simulate the feeling of weightlessness in space. Boeing is competing with Elon Musk's SpaceX to become the first private company to provide human space flights from the US, following the end of the space shuttle programme in 2011. Nasa is paying the two companies nearly $7bn (£5.7bn) combined to build rocket-and-capsule launch systems which will have Nasa astronauts on board. The space flights are only for professionals at the moment, but future missions may be open to tourists. \"So far, we've only had about 500 people go to space. That's so few compared to the seven or eight billion people on planet Earth,\" said astronaut Mike Fincke. \"Hopefully, in the next 10 years it'll go from 500 to 5,000. And [in] the next 20 years, maybe even 50,000 or more. It'll be great to have more people see what I've seen.\" Fellow astronaut Suni Williams said: \"I wish everybody on the planet would have the ability to take a lap around the planet once, just to see it from that perspective ... [to] see our planet and recognize that we actually do just have one home, probably we should take care of it and probably we should be a little bit nicer to each other.\" Photos by Mike Blake.",

            "input": "The prime minister began by wishing everyone a Happy Easter before being lobbed a friendly question by one of her MPs that allowed a bit of early local election campaigning. The Labour leader echoed the Easter greetings before he noted this was autism awareness week and raised the cases of Connor Sparrowhark and Teresa Colvin, who died in 2013 and 2012 while in the care of Southern Health. How confident was the prime minister that these kinds of deaths could not happen today? Mrs May said there had been significant steps taken to raise awareness of autism and ensure there was support available, but the cases raised \"very important questions\". She joined Mr Corbyn in paying tribute to the families involved and said the government was backing trusts to be open so they could learn from mistakes. Mr Corbyn quoted the NHS Ombudsman as saying there were not enough skilled and qualified staff and there was an \"overuse of agency staff\". Why were there 5,000 fewer mental health nurses than 2010, he asked. Mrs May said more money was being put into mental health care, noted that the government had given parity of esteem to the treatment of mental health in the NHS - and said that 1,400 more people a day were accessing mental health services. In answer to the staffing and funding points she said that as well as the NHS it was also about wider services in communities, highlighting an initiative to train staff in schools. Mr Corbyn said funding had fallen by £600m between 2010 and 2016, and said that too often friends, neighbours or police have to deal with mental health crises. He asked why only 6% of mental health funding was spent on children, when they made up 20% of the population and, he said, half of \"enduring mental health conditions\" emerged by the age of 14. Mrs May said that the issue of young people's mental health was a very serious one which was why the schools initiative had been launched, adding that there were a variety of ways to deal with mental health issues. She said they were taking more steps than Labour ever took. Mrs May said she hoped Mr Corbyn would join her in tackling misuse of social media, which could lead to mental health issues - he replied by saying he hoped this meant she would back Labour's digital bill \"which will provide proper protections for people\". Her reaction suggested the answer would be no. This was a relatively-rare session where Mr Corbyn focused on one issue for all his questions, rather than covering a broader set of subjects. His final question began with the observation that \"mental health affects us all\", adding that it was good that there was \"less stigma\" attached to it. Mr Corbyn said the NHS was in crisis, particularly in mental health services and that despite legislating for parity of esteem the government had failed to properly fund it. He asked the PM commit to ring-fencing funding for mental health services. Mrs May responded by saying that there was an \"extra £10bn\" going into the NHS made possible by the \"balanced approach\" to the economy which kept debt and taxes down and allowed investment in public services. By contrast \"Labour's approach would mean increased debt, less money for mental health services and higher taxes for ordinary working people who would pay the price of Labour.\" The other main topic... The SNP's leader at Westminster Ian Blackford raised the recent allegations about spending during the UK's referendum on EU membership in 2016. He said the claims needed to be fully investigated. Theresa May said there were laws governing the conduct of campaigning and spending, adding that she understood the Electoral Commission had looked into it. Mr Blackford said \"we know that before the EU referendum the DUP received £425,000 from the Conservative-run Constitutional Research Council (CRC)... we know some of the money was given to Aggregate IQ a reported franchise of Cambridge Analytica... the shady business of data mining and undermining electoral law goes right to the heart of the prime minister's party\". Mrs May said that the matter of Vote Leave spending had already been investigated twice by the Electoral Commission. If there were allegations of criminal activity they should be taken to the police and where there were allegations of breaches of campaign funding rules they should be taken to the Electoral Commission. It was an issue that was returned to by another SNP MP, Alan Brown. Mrs May said she did not recognise his claims and took the chance to reject any idea that any of the claims cast doubt on the result of the referendum itself. Green MP and co-leader of the party Caroline Lucas also brought up the issue, calling for cross-party talks to kick-start the creation of a system that was up to the challenge of dealing with the digital age. Mrs May said the allegations about Cambridge Analytica were \"concerning\" and said she hoped those involved cooperated with the Information Commissioner's inquiries. The government was committed to \"ensuring this is a safe place to be online\". The Conservative MP David Morris raised allegations of \"serious data breaches\" by Labour HQ and urged the prime minister to join him in making sure the Information Commissioner conducts a \"thorough investigation\". Mrs May said it was important that people had confidence in how their data was used, and said tougher powers were planned. Other subjects that came up The DUP MP Jim Shannon asked about Christians persecuted around the world, especially over Easter. Mrs May said Easter was the most important time in the Christian calendar, \"a time of new life and hope\". She said she stood with persecuted Christians and would look at what more the government could do to support them. Ged Killen, Labour MP for Rutherglen and Hamilton West in Scotland, asked about LGBT rights in Northern Ireland, asking the PM \"to stop hiding behind the DUP\". Mrs May said she hoped the MP would recognise the government's record on LGBT rights, adding that it was a Labour decision to allow it to be a devolved matter. She said she hoped there would be a Northern Ireland executive in place soon which will be able to address these issues. Labour's Lisa Nandy called for compensation to be paid swiftly to former child migrants following a report by the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse - Mrs May said an £8m family restoration fund had been established. Conservative Ken Clarke asked the prime minister to confirm that there would be no hard border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland and that the government would seek frictionless trade with the EU. The long-standing pro-European advocated a customs union along the lines of the existing relationship. Theresa May said the government was working to ensure both that there would be no hard border and that Northern Ireland would be able to trade freely with the rest of the UK. Conservative Edward Argar asked the PM to confirm that the government would continue to invest in strong defences - allowing Mrs May to announce an extra £600m for the Dreadnought submarine programme. Conservative Zac Goldsmith asked if the PM shared his \"admiration for the brave victims\" of John Worboys after they secured a high court victory over a Parole Board decision to release the 'black cab rapist'. Theresa May agreed and welcomed the judgement. Labour's Jack Dromey said that a hedge fund scam was being used to avoid paying tax on shares that would determine the future of GKN in the takeover by Melrose and asked Mrs May to investigate. Mrs May said it was a commercial decision for GKN, and the Business Secretary Greg Clark was looking into the issues. The Verdicts Here is what Daily Politics presenter Andrew Neil made of it: And here is Laura Kuenssberg's verdict: What the BBC's Parliamentary Correspondent Mark D'Arcy made of it: That was probably Jeremy Corbyn's best PMQs performance. The PM entered the chamber with all kinds of good news stories to tell but she faced a well constructed and sustained attack from the Labour leader. In World Autism Awareness Week (hence all the purple badges on display) he posed six questions on mental health issues, which collectively painted a picture of a struggling, cash-starved service, leaving people waiting in desperate need, and while the PM parried the first couple fairly effectively, her counter-attack ran out of steam by the end. For once the exchanges went a bit beyond \"cuts bad!\" - \"Labour bad!\" and Mr Corbyn kept on coming, and was all the more effective for remarking that he did not doubt the PM's personal commitment to the issue. His choice of subject was astute on several levels. It didn't leave room for the PM to pivot to Labour's divisions on Russia and anti-Semitism, and it wasn't an area where the Conservative attack dogs could easily goad the Labour leader - and it mainlined back to issues around funding local services. It is also worth noting what didn't happen. In recent weeks there have been occasions when Labour MPs have directly attacked, not the government, but their own leader. (John Woodcock's attack on his line on Russia was perhaps the prime example, but it is far from the only one). This time there was no glimmer of internal dissent on the Labour side. And only a carefully-pitched Brexit question from Ken Clarke, foreshadowing an issue which will surface in Parliament after Easter, marred the Conservative façade. Both parties may be seething with dissent and rivalry beneath the surface, but it wasn't on parade here. But the other big issue to recur several times weres the allegations around breaches of the funding rules at the EU referendum and the conduct of the consultancy, Cambridge Analytica. The exchanges didn't go anywhere, but nor did they kill the subject; we will hear more about this. What pundits are saying on Twitter",

The Hamilton County coroner said only an external exam was performed on Mr Warmbier, who arrived home in a coma. North Korea claims his coma was due to botulism and a sleeping pill, but the Warmbier family and doctors disagree. North Korea tourism: A dangerous gamble? How did Otto Warmbier end up in a coma? Mr Warmbier, 22, was sentenced to 15 years' hard labour in March 2016 after being tried for attempting to steal a propaganda sign from a hotel. The coroner's office in Cincinnati, Ohio, said in a statement: \"No conclusions about the cause and manner of Mr Warmbier's death have been drawn at this time as there are additional medical records and imaging to review and people to interview. \"Our deepest sympathies are with the family and friends of Mr Warmbier at this time of their tragic loss.\" Timeline of events Doctors at the Cincinnati Medical Center, where Mr Warmbier was treated following his return to the US on 13 June, determined he suffered from \"unresponsive wakefulness\", also known as persistent vegetative state, due to \"severe neurological injury\". But it remains unclear exactly what happened to the student while in North Korea detention. His family and doctors dispute North Korea's version of events. A funeral is to take place on Thursday morning at a high school in Wyoming, Ohio, that Mr Warmbier attended before enrolling at the University of Virginia. \"All those that wish to join his family in celebrating his life are cordially invited,\" the announcement states. President Donald Trump said on Monday that a \"lot of bad things happened\" to Mr Warmbier at the hands of the \"brutal regime\". On Tuesday he tweeted that the US once again condemned North Korea \"as we mourn its latest victim\". He added: \"While I greatly appreciate the efforts of President Xi [Jinping] and China to help with North Korea, it has not worked out. At least I know China tried!\" China is North Korea's closest ally, and Mr Trump has repeatedly called on Beijing to influence Pyongyang to rein in its nuclear and missile programme. North Korea has ramped up its missile tests in recent months despite international sanctions, aggravating tensions in the region and with the US. Mr Trump met Mr Xi in person in April where they discussed the North Korea issue, and later praised Mr Xi for his handling of the situation.",

A blood test from Mrs Elmer's GP took several days to come back and the results were inconclusive. Mrs Elmer is one of six people whose death is linked to sandwiches supplied to 43 NHS trusts. The pensioner, who had breast cancer, was at St Richard's Hospital in Chichester for an unrelated operation when she ate the contaminated chicken mayonnaise sandwich, the West Sussex Coroner, Penelope Schofield, was told. She was discharged on 3 May. Mrs Elmer's son, Jonathan Elmer, said his mother had felt weak as she recovered from the operation at home in Chevening, Kent, but the family had no idea the reason for her condition was listeria. He said: \"It is certainly something that goes through your mind. \"To this day I do not know if an earlier diagnosis may have been of any benefit.\" 'National outbreak' A blood test from Mrs Elmer's GP took several days to come back and the results were inconclusive. Mrs Elmer was rushed to hospital in Tunbridge Wells on 2 June after she became unresponsive. Once back in hospital, she was tested again and the results returned positive for listeria. She died in hospital on 17 July. The coroner said an information \"black hole\" for patients discharged to areas outside the hospital's trust area may have prevented Mrs Elmer's family from getting her early treatment. Mrs Elmer's widower, Alec Elmer, said: \"Had we been aware earlier, that blood test would have been an emergency blood test. As it was, it took three or four days to get the results through.\" Dr Timothy Taylor, medical director for Western Sussex Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust - which runs St Richard's Hospital - said when the hospital became aware there was a \"substantial\" risk that Mrs Elmer had eaten a contaminated sandwich, he contacted his counterpart at her local hospital in Kent. The coroner concluded Mrs Elmer died from complications associated with a listeria infection from a contaminated sandwich as \"part of a national outbreak\".",

            "input": "By Paul KerleyBBC News Magazine A quick quiz question for you. How many football pitches could fit inside the Greater London boundary? Well, 220,000 of them would fill the space between Cockfosters and Croydon, Heathrow and Hornchurch. That statistic is just one of thousands of facts and figures contained in a new book about London, which according to its creators is the most data-heavy capital of the world. Geographer Dr James Cheshire and visual designer Oliver Uberti say their book - London: The Information Capital - is not an atlas, but instead a series of data portraits. Scroll down to take a look at a few of their colourful and imaginative maps and infographics. Ethnicity From greys and blues to autumnal shades of yellow and red, this colourful dotted map of Greater London shows 2011 Census information - which found that fewer than 45% of Londoners consider themselves \"White British\". To put the map together, the authors counted the number of people per self-reported ethnic group across 25,270 small areas - each of which is home to about 250 people. They then scattered coloured dots within each of these areas for every 20 people or so of the same ethnicity. Places with lots of different coloured dots are therefore more ethnically diverse. The close up image below spans from west to east. It shows strong Asian representation both left and right. In Hounslow in the west, and Newham in the east, people of Indian origin dominate - while in Tower Hamlets, London's traditional East End, it's Bangladeshi ethnicity which is strong. Passports This infographic relates to the question asked in the 2011 Census, \"What passports do you hold?\" 5.8 million Londoners ticked United Kingdom, but of those, many were not born in the UK and had since gained British or dual citizenship. Proportionately-sized circles of countries are stamped here, passport-style. Renting London has become a city of renters, says the book. This map of Greater London shows the change in median rents from January to April 2013-14. The 2012 Olympics increased prices around Stratford station on the Central Line as people clamoured to be close to the action. But the white, grey and blue colours in the diagram in that part of east London hint that property supply is now closer to demand, and as a result, rents have fallen. Out to the west, as shown above, the Central Line travels from suburban West Ruislip, through Greenford and Perivale, into the pricier parts of town. Rents may have dropped in Ealing, Kensington and Chelsea - but they are still among the most expensive parts of the UK in which to live. The graph below takes a journey along the Central Line showing the average monthly rent for two bedroom flats at each stop. £1200 will get you a bolthole in Northolt, but a pied-a-terre off Bond Street in the West End will set you back at least £4000. Relationship status Singletons at 20. Married or cohabiting by 30. That is the trend colourfully depicted here. Again, using figures from the 2011 Census, the book reveals how many people marry and then migrate from inner to outer London. With darker purple showing those areas with above average concentrations of each relationship status, it is easy to see the cycle of life in London. The young and single prefer to live close to town. Trendy areas - like Hoxton and Clapham - are popular. Once people have started living with a partner, many prefer to move a little further away from the centre of the city - a few more stops on the Tube or bus. Outer London is a purple ring of wedded bliss. Should such bliss break down irretrievably - the maps below (centre and right) reveal where higher numbers of separated and divorced people live. The divorce map has a far more even spread of colour - especially when compared with the \"married but living apart\" map on the left, which shows strong concentrations in four distinct areas north of the Thames. Sites of interest A snap of the soldiers in front of Buckingham Palace by day, or the bright lights of Piccadilly Circus by night? This shows how users of the photo-sharing site Flickr captured views of the city's attractions. The original image, larger than this excerpt, has dots for more than 1.5 million pictures taken by 45,000 people. The dots measure luminance. Green ones show where photos were snapped outside in daylight. Purple ones were taken indoors or at night. The Thames The Thames - river and estuary - sees a concentrated convergence of nautical traffic, as these excerpts of a larger map show. The Port of London Authority is responsible for the safe passage of vessels along a 95-mile stretch of water. The full-size graphic shows 24 hours of movements - on 12 April 2014 - with the tracks of 334 ships, registered in 26 different countries. Lost property This is a digital interpretation of physical traces left behind by visitors to Heathrow Airport. In 2013, the lost property office there logged 34,000 items - from luggage and laptops, to musical instruments and stuffed animals. Each icon above and below equates to 10 items. It means that the whole image, with line after line, is rather mesmerising. Football clubs by popularity on Twitter Up the blues! Up the reds! Up the yellows, blacks and greens! This diagram depicts London's football clubs by popularity on Twitter for the 2013/14 season. Each square represents 500m x 500m - and its colour indicates the football club with the most-tweeted hashtag in that area. Predictably, for most of the clubs, the immediate area around their home grounds are solid in their allegiance - although the tweets might not necessarily have featured endorsements of team performance. North London is dominated by Arsenal, with tweets from rivals Spurs in light blue - and West Ham in purple - struggling to be seen. Chelsea blue rules in south-west London - with nearby neighbours Fulham squashed into a sliver of black along the banks of the Thames, close to their ground at Craven Cottage. That season, Chelsea finished ahead of Arsenal in both the Premier League and the Twittersphere. Tweets by home country These images are close-up sections of a much bigger map showing 9.4 million tweets across Greater London. The splattered dots show not only where the tweets were sent - but also the home country of each Twitter account holder. Outside central London, Wembley and Heathrow have high concentrations of tweets - because of the sport and music events at Wembley Stadium... ...and the number of people flying into and out of London's biggest airport. Busiest rail stations This section of a larger graphic uses data from Oyster travel cards - and a bit of artistic licence. It shows the most-exited rail stations between 7-10am in July and August 2012. The sweeping coloured arcs arrive at the named stations from other Underground, Overground and National Rail stations. Commuters head to Oxford Circus from the north, east, south and west - but the arcs into each mainline rail hub arrive mostly from one general direction. The Tube Challenge This map shows a record-breaking way of visiting all 270 tube stations in a single day. But this winning route from 2009 is already out of date. Two more successful challenges have been made since then, but the Tube Challengers are understandably secretive about their routes. But one thing is certain - you will need to get up early to stand any chance of success, There are several places on the route where you would need to run for it - it being quicker to head on foot between stations rather than take a more circuitous journey by rail. It would also be a late finish after a long day. Maybe time to fly off on holiday for a rest?

            "input": "By Leo KelionTechnology desk editor The British company uses the address as a way to direct shoppers to a section of its Jokers' Masquerade store dedicated to Star Wars-themed costumes. It has owned the domain name for more than a decade, and was asked to surrender it last year but refused. Now, Nominet - which oversees .uk domains - has ruled it must do so. The costume store's parent company, Abscissa, has also been told to give up a further six domain names used for the same purpose: The company has until 21 July to decide whether to appeal. \"If the new Star Wars films by Disney were not being released, we wouldn't be having this discussion,\" Mark Lewis, Abscissa's chief executive, told the BBC. \"They wanted the starwars.uk domain, they haven't [got it], and in essence they've thrown their teddies out of the pram. \"That's how we feel. Are we disappointed? Yes. Are we surprised? Not necessarily.\" Walt Disney Company bought Lucasfilm - the production company behind Star Wars - in 2012 for $4.1bn (£2.6bn). A spokesman said that had it acquired all the intellectual property surrounding the Star Wars franchise as part of the deal. Abscissa had attempted to defend its ownership of the domains by highlighting that it had used the starwars.co.uk and star-wars.co.uk addresses since 2003 without being challenged. It suggested that it was only because Nominet had introduced shorter \"name.uk\" domains in 2014 that Disney had acted. Last year, Nominet gave owners of .co.uk addresses a \"first dibs\" right-of-refusal to purchase related shorter domains - something Abscissa took advantage of. After being contacted by Disney's lawyers, the retailer offered to transfer the starwars.uk domain to the US media giant if it could continue using starwars.co.uk and star-wars.co.uk to sell \"legitimate Star Wars-branded merchandise\". However, Disney refused. Nominet requires two facts to be proven for it to agree to force a handover: Following a three-month process, it ruled in Disney's favour. \"Star Wars cannot sensibly refer to anyone else other than the complainant,\" wrote Nominet's expert Steve Ormand. \"It is highly likely in my view that any user searching for Star Wars and arriving at the respondent's website will have suffered initial interest, confusion and falsely inferred a commercial connection with the complainant. \"I am also satisfied that the respondent has taken advantage of the 'pulling power' of the name Star Wars to attract users to its website.\" Mr Ormand added that the fact Abscissa had used two of the domains for 10 years had no bearing on the case. This is far from the first case Nominet has had to resolve in this manner. In 2014 alone, it ruled on 98 disputes, and none of these rulings led to an appeal. They included forcing an official-looking website using the dvla-driving-licence.co.uk address to be transferred to the government, and ilovealdi.co.uk to be handed over to the supermarket chain. Disney has previously used the service to seize waltdisney.co.uk and disneycruises.co.uk from other parties. Abscissa itself has also benefited from the dispute-resolution process, by wresting control of jokers.co.uk from a fancy-dress rival in 2007.",

But he told the BBC he will not be able to protect \"every single job\" as the UK enters a \"severe recession\". He also admitted that some of the £1,000 bonuses being offered to take back furloughed staff would go to firms that were already keeping workers on. Labour has called for a more targeted approach to saving jobs, saying the government will \"waste billions at a time when others are crying out for support\". In his summer statement on Wednesday, Mr Sunak said the \"jobs retention bonus\" could cost as much as £9bn if every worker currently furloughed is kept on. Meanwhile, it has emerged the most senior civil servant at HM Revenue and Customs did not back two of the key policies in Mr Sunak's summer statement over uncertainty about their value for money. In letters to the chancellor, Jim Harra, HMRC's permanent secretary, said advice received by HMRC \"highlights uncertainty around the value for money\" of the job Retention Bonus and Eat Out To Help Out scheme - which gives diners money off some meals in August. 'Zero income' Self-employed curtain fitter Mark Whittaker told BBC Breakfast he cannot \"get his head round how the chancellor expects any citizen of this country to get by on zero income\". \"If he can manage it, please tell me how to do it,\" Mr Whittaker said. \"I don't want a handout… I want parity.\" Mr Whittaker started his own business in Stockport, Greater Manchester, towards the end of 2018 and fell short of earnings requirements to receive support during the crisis. He said people in his situation have children, mortgages, rent and bills to pay. Responding to Mr Whittaker's comments, Mr Sunak said more than 2.5 million people who are self-employed will receive support from a \"generous\" scheme of government funding. He added: \"Have we been able to help everyone in exactly the way they would have wanted? I'm sure not and I've said previously that we haven't been able to do that and for that I am sorry.\" Mr Sunak warned the UK was \"entering one of the most severe recessions this country has ever seen\". \"If you're asking me 'can I protect every single job' of course the answer is no,\" he said. \"'Is unemployment going to rise, are people going to lose their jobs?' Yes, and the scale of this is significant.\" It comes as figures released by the Treasury reveal that public spending on the battle against coronavirus has risen to nearly £190bn. And the Institute for Fiscal Studies has warned the UK was not in a \"normal recession\" but \"the deepest in history\". The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) estimates that unemployment in the UK will reach \"record highs\" of up to 11.7% by the end of 2020, without a second wave of coronavirus. With a second wave, it says UK unemployment could reach near 15%. 'Dead weight' The chancellor announced a series of measures to help the economy on Wednesday, including a VAT cut for the hospitality and tourism sectors, a bonus scheme for employers and an eating out money off scheme for August. Mr Sunak said the £1,000 bonus being offered to businesses that keep furloughed staff in jobs until January would be a \"dead weight\" cost, as some employers who intend to retain workers anyway would benefit. The Chancellor told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: \"Throughout this crisis I've had decisions to make and whether to act in a broad way at scale and at speed or to act in a more targeted and nuanced way. \"In an ideal world, you're absolutely right, you would minimise that dead weight and do everything in incredibly targeted fashion. \"The problem is the severity of what was happening to our economy, the scale of what was happening, and indeed the speed that it was happening at demanded a different response.\" He said that \"without question there will be dead weight - and there has been dead weight in all of the interventions we have put in place\". But Labour's shadow chief secretary to the Treasury Bridget Philipson said: \"The chancellor should be targeting support on those who need it, not handing it out aimlessly to those who don't. \"It's not brave to admit the government plans to waste billions at a time when others are crying out for support.\" Some 9.3 million workers are having 80% of their salaries paid for by the government - up to £2,500 a month - under the furlough scheme, which was originally due to end in July, before being extended to October, with employer contributions. From August, employers must pay National Insurance and pension contributions, then 10% of pay from September, rising to 20% in October.

They plan to visit the so-called \"whale jail\" near Nakhodka on Saturday. There are 11 killer whales (orcas) and 87 belugas in pens at Srednyaya Bay. A criminal investigation is under way. While they were in captivity last year, three belugas and one orca disappeared. Greenpeace Russia believes they died, as many of the whales are known to be in poor health. The environmental group raised the alarm about the whales last October, and four Russian companies linked to the \"whale jail\" have been accused of violating fishing regulations and cruel treatment of animals. The whales were caught last year in the Sea of Okhotsk. Greenpeace says the orcas and many of the belugas were probably destined to be sold to marine parks in China, where such tourist attractions are booming. Individual orcas, often caught illegally, can fetch millions of dollars. Belugas are sold for tens of thousands of dollars. Who else is trying to save the whales? Celebrities are also campaigning to rescue them. Hollywood star and Oscar winner Leonardo DiCaprio has urged his social media followers to sign a petition - and so far 1.43m have done so. Pamela Anderson, the former model and Baywatch TV star, wrote to President Vladimir Putin, urging action to release the whales. She is active in the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW). Mr Putin is well known for his interest in wildlife conservation and is now involved in the row over the \"whale jail\", along with federal prosecutors and the FSB state security service. Jean-Michel Cousteau is the first son of the late Jacques Cousteau, an explorer whose popular TV documentaries helped focus public opinion on threatened ocean species. On Tuesday Greenpeace staged a demonstration in central Moscow to draw attention to the whales' plight. The US-based Animal Welfare Institute and other marine mammal experts have sent a letter to Mr Putin, saying urgent action is needed to keep the whales healthy. They say the pens should be expanded and the water heated prior to releasing the whales to rejoin their birth populations. What condition are the whales in? There is great concern because some are showing signs of hypothermia. Aerial photos show big sheets of ice in and around the overcrowded pens. In the wild, whales swim tens of kilometres every day - and that keeps them warm. But in small pens they get cold. In January, Greenpeace Russia reported that some of the whales were showing skin lesions and flipper deterioration. Some of those injuries may have been caused by bumping into the sea ice. Read more on related topics: What is the legal position? Russian law allows the capture of whales for scientific or educational purposes. But the suspicion is that these whales were destined to go to Chinese marine parks in illegal, multi-million-dollar sales, for public entertainment. In July Russia announced an investigation into the illegal sale of seven orcas to China. UK-based Whale and Dolphin Conservation reports that 15 orcas caught in Russian waters are now at Chinese marine parks . Several countries have banned the live capture of whales, as well as imports and exports, among them the US, Canada and Australia. Commercial whaling is highly restricted under the International Whaling Commission's 1986 moratorium. But in December Japan announced that it would resume commercial whale-hunting. The IWC reports that in 2017 Norway caught 432 minke whales in the North Atlantic and Iceland caught 17 minkes off its shores .",

They say long delays caused by a lack of accessible and affordable treatment mean many patients' conditions worsen. Three recent high-profile deaths drew attention to cancer in Kenya which has 35 oncologists for 40 million people. This means there are more than 3,000 cancer cases for each oncologist in Kenya, compared to less than 150 in the US and China, according to the Journal of Global Oncology. For cancer patients living outside big cities like Mombasa and Nairobi, there are few hospitals equipped to deal with their specific needs. Last month saw the cancer-related deaths of Bob Collymore, CEO of telecoms giant Safaricom, and politicians Joyce Laboso and Ken Okoth. Around 30,000 people die from cancer every year in Kenya, the government says. Like many other developing countries, the increasing number of cancer patients is putting additional strain on health services. Kenya's cancer situation in numbers 47,000Annual cancer cases 33,000Annual cancer deaths Number of prevalent cases (5-year)86,600 Oncologists35 Treatment centres12 Chemotherapy is not generally available in the public health service, according to the World Health Organization. The government has pledged to set up more chemotherapy and radiotherapy centres across the nation, but for many Kenyans the treatment in the private sector is far too expensive. Those who can afford it sometimes prefer to travel abroad for treatment, with many going to India. Screening for cancer is often happening too late, say patients, and getting a diagnosis can be a challenge. \"At first the hospital told me they didn't know what I was suffering from,\" Joan Wangare, a pancreatic cancer survivor, told the BBC. \"But I thank God that, because I started the treatment early, I was able to overcome it.\" Myths and misconceptions Mercy Juma, BBC Africa, Nairobi There is some awareness about cancer in Kenya but mostly in the urban setting. In the rural areas there is lack of information and a lot of misinformation too. Myths and misconceptions exist, as well as stigma. It is estimated that 70-80% of patients diagnosed with cancer in Kenya are at advanced stages, with high rates of misdiagnosis and inadequate screening hindering early detection. There have also been questions about the follow-up of patients who are found to have cancer after screening. Kenya carries the regional cancer burden too, being a neighbour to countries like South Sudan which does not have even a single oncologist and where the only available treatment for cancer is surgery. The Kenyatta referral hospital, which has only three radiotherapy machines, also serves patients from Uganda, Burundi, Rwanda and South Sudan. This makes waiting times even longer. Within the country, people often have to travel hundreds of kilometres to access the services at the referral hospital.",

Calls for the EU to act have been fuelled by the downing of flight MH17. An international team has again failed to access the crash site in eastern Ukraine, amid heavy fighting between government forces and rebels there. This is the third time in as many days that the team, which includes Dutch and Australian police officers, has had to abandon attempts to reach the site. Many of the 298 people travelling aboard Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 were Dutch or Australian. Earlier on Tuesday, Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte asked Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko to \"halt hostilities\" around the crash site, according to a spokesman for Mr Rutte, quoted by AFP news agency. Ukraine's military has been on the offensive, seeking to encircle the pro-Russian separatist rebels in Donetsk region. In the latest developments: Analysis by the BBC's Gavin Hewitt Europe's leaders did not want to move to economic sanctions but they were moved by two considerations: the outrage at the way investigators have been blocked from access to the crash site of the downed plane and, secondly, the fact that Russia, since the incident, has been allowing heavy weapons across the border into Ukraine. The calculation in Europe is that it had to act for its own credibility and that it may have to go further to ensure that President Vladimir Putin and his inner circle understand that their actions carry consequences. How will Russia respond? Hard to say, although Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Russia would not retaliate or \"fall into hysterics\". But - if all goes as expected - the EU will today take a significant step; that it has to risk some damage to its own economic interests in order to put pressure on President Putin and Russia. Ukraine conflict: EU squeezes Russia 'Further costs' EU ambassadors in Brussels are taking part in a meeting that is expected to lead to fresh sanctions. The meeting ends on Tuesday afternoon. The fresh measures under discussion include restrictions on Russian banks accessing European markets, an arms embargo and curbs on dealings with the energy sector. The leaders of France, Germany, Britain and the US already discussed possible sanctions in a conference call on Monday. A spokeswoman for UK Prime Minister David Cameron later said that he and fellow European leaders had agreed to \"impose further costs on Russia\" for supporting the rebels in Ukraine. Western nations have accused Russia of equipping the uprising in Ukraine with heavy weapons - including the missile that brought down flight MH17. Russia has denied the charge. Russia and the rebels blame Ukrainian government forces for the attack on the airliner. Any new EU sanctions could come into force within 24 hours of a deal being reached between the bloc's 28 member states. Sanctions warning Last weekend, the EU subjected a further 15 Russian individuals and 18 entities to asset freezes and visa bans for their alleged involvement in the Ukraine conflict. The list of 87 targets of EU sanctions now includes the heads of the Federal Security Service (FSB) and foreign intelligence, the president of Chechnya, as well as two Crimean energy firms. However, UK company BP, which owns nearly 20% of Russian state oil giant Rosneft, has warned that further sanctions against Russia could \"adversely impact\" its performance. Meanwhile, Russia's foreign ministry has dismissed the latest UN human rights report on the Ukraine conflict as \"unobjective and even hypocritical\". The UN's human rights chief warned on Monday that the downing of MH17 may be a \"war crime\". According to the UN, at least 1,129 people have been killed and 3,442 wounded in the fighting in Ukraine since mid-April. The violence has displaced more than 200,000 people, many of them fleeing to neighbouring Russia.",

            "input": "By Dr John Moore-GillonBritish Lung Foundation Each year, the insurance industry pays out hundreds of millions of pounds in compensation to people who have developed mesothelioma - a cancer of the outer covering of the lung - as a result of exposure to asbestos at work. With the UK having the highest rates of mesothelioma in the world, it is estimated that these payments will cost the insurance industry in excess of £11bn over the coming years. A far more profound cost is borne, though, by those actually living with this often very painful disease. With no cure and little by way of effective treatments, mesothelioma can act with devastating speed. Fewer than one in 10 sufferers are alive just three years after diagnosis, and many survive just a matter of months. 'Loose change' Compensation can help a family cope financially, but nothing makes up for the loss of a loved one. Well-funded medical research is essential if this situation is to improve - but such funding remains shamefully low, with that for mesothelioma lagging well behind levels invested in diseases, like skin cancer, that kill similar numbers of people. With about 60,000 people expected to die of mesothelioma in the UK over the next 30 years unless new treatments are found, the need to address this funding shortfall is urgent. But with public finances still tight, the key question is: how can we afford this extra investment without cutting back elsewhere? One solution is to work with the insurance industry. If, each year, insurers invested in mesothelioma research just a tiny fraction of the amount they will end up paying out in compensation - for example, just 0.05% of that £11bn - it would absolutely transform mesothelioma research. What is loose change for a multi-billion pound global industry could prove life-saving for thousands. And what is more, as treatments improve, and more mesothelioma patients live healthy, fulfilling and economically productive lives, the amount of compensation insurers would have to pay out would fall. It's a win-win situation that should save the industry money. 'An outstanding opportunity' This principle of turning potential private sector beneficiaries into benefactors may sound unorthodox. However, I believe such approaches to medical research funding will be crucial in future, not only to cope with the burgeoning health problems presented by our ageing population and modern lifestyle, but to ensure that diseases like mesothelioma aren't neglected. Of course, it wouldn't address all our research-funding needs, across all disease areas. And making it work will require a level of co-operation between politicians and industry that, frustratingly, we haven't yet seen for mesothelioma, even though both sides publicly support a deal. However, with mesothelioma, we have an outstanding opportunity. If government and industry pass this test, it may not only help the tens of thousands of people who will otherwise die of mesothelioma over the coming years it could also fundamentally change, in the long term, the way we think about funding medical research.",

Children are getting screens earlier, the average age to get a smartphone is now nine.

The RCPCH said there was no good evidence yet that time in front of a screen is definitely \"toxic\" to health, although they did publish a list of questions families can ask to assess whether screen use is affecting their children negatively. The questions are: So if parents feel like screen time is having an adverse impact on their children's life, what should they do? Set boundaries Last year, Anne Longfield published the Digital 5 A Day campaign, which encouraged the whole family to have a healthy digital lifestyle, including parents. \"It can't be that parents have their phones in their hand the whole time. It works best if the whole family can look into a healthy digital way of life.\" Anne Longfield's tips for managing screen time include: Ms Longfield is now calling on the government to put digital emotional resilience into schools in Years 6 and 7.

A funny filter on Snapchat for example, can lift a child's mood. But there is also toxic content, and also the fact that screen time can disrupt important and necessary things like sleep, exercise and conversation.\" His tips include: 'A focus on appearance can lead to unhappiness' Dr Tara Porter, a clinical psychologist specialising in child and adolescent mental health, says she is concerned about screen use as a clinician and a parent. \"Girls are being sucked into drama at a younger age, things said face-to-face are often less hurtful than things said in the online echo chamber, which can be escalated,\" she says. \"A focus on the best appearance can also lead to dissatisfaction and unhappiness.\" Her tips include: Use tech to limit screen time Concerned parents have a bewildering array of options to choose from when seeking to manage how much time their children spend on screens. Some home routers and security packages allow parents to set time limits for devices and monitor and police what can be seen online. Some can be used to impose time limits but these can be very blunt tools. Most game consoles and computers include tools that can restrict how long the particular gadget is used for. Finally, there are apps and other tools from Apple, Google, Facebook and others that can monitor how much time is spent on various programmes.

Gwynedd, Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion and Pembrokeshire are still affected, with people in the latter county left waiting for a repeatedly-delayed delivery of bottled water. Most schools have reopened, but snow and ice meant more than 100 were shut. Welsh Water said people may see discoloured water as supplies came back and it hoped to have everyone reconnected by Tuesday afternoon. However, people in some parts of Pembrokeshire will not be able to get bottled water delivered until at least Tuesday. It was originally planned that a Welsh Water delivery for Simpson Cross, St Davids, Roch, Croesgoch, Trefin and Porthgain would happen on Monday evening. But Pembrokeshire council said the delivery would not arrive at its depot until midnight, meaning the water would not be dropped of until 08:00. Meanwhile, council leaders are seeking extra cash from the Welsh Government to help them cope with the cost of dealing with the snow disruption. Debbie Wilcox, Welsh Local Government Association leader, said councils were \"faced with significant additional costs incurred over the last few days and in coming weeks which will be an extra pressure on already tight budgets\". Welsh Water said it was prioritising vulnerable people who were without water and opening bottled water stations to help those who were cut off. Managing director Peter Perry told BBC Radio Wales' Good Morning Wales programme: \"We'd normally see around 75 bursts or leaks on our system every day. We're currently dealing with 200.\" He said problems were caused by older, cast iron pipes being damaged by ground movement caused by the cold weather. Mr Perry urged customers not to leave taps running unnecessarily because supplies were low due to a surge in demand in the past few days. Dee Valley Water also called on customers to report leaks caused by frozen pipes thawing so it could locate them quickly and repair them. Darrin Pascoe, from Blaenwaun, near Whitland, Carmarthenshire, said he had been without running water since Thursday and had been filling up bottles from a neighbour's tap. \"I cannot wash or wash clothes or dishes. I cannot clean the kitchen,\" he said. Meanwhile, Ian Cole, 68, said his home in Llanstephan near Builth Wells, Powys, was still cut off on Monday, due to \"shoulder-height\" snow drifts. He claimed Powys council is yet to grit the area to allow cars to pass and he was running out of medication. \"In some places the drifts are shoulder-height, we personally are cut off,\" he said. Most schools reopened, although more than 114 remained closed on Monday, mainly in Caerphilly, Blaenau Gwent and Torfaen. The majority plan to reopen on Tuesday, with just tens of schools to stay closed, mostly in Blaenau Gwent. Arriva Trains Wales said it planned to run a full service on the majority of its network on Monday, although no trains will run on the Heart of Wales or Blaenau Ffestiniog lines. It said the Heart of Wales line would stay closed on Tuesday. \"We would like to thank our customers for their continued patience over the past four days of disruption and our railway teams, who have been working tirelessly in very challenging weather conditions,\" a spokesman said. In Tywyn, Gwynedd, councillors estimate as many as a thousand trees were felled because of the storm, with some damaging gas lines and school property. Cardiff Airport said some flights may still be disrupted due to the knock-on effect of delays and cancellations in the past few days. Meanwhile, organisers of the Newport Half Marathon, which was cancelled on Sunday due to the snow, confirmed it has been rescheduled for 18 March. Is your school open? Check here:",

            "input": "By Jon ManelBBC Radio 4 It lies beneath a grand London mansion, owned by the Queen and leased to the government. It contains around 39,000 bottles of wines and spirits. For years, details of what was in it were shrouded in secrecy, even though it has been funded by the British taxpayer. Welcome to the Government's wine cellar. Lancaster House is down the road from Buckingham Palace. It sits well in such a prestigious neighbourhood. However, the ornate grandeur of the public rooms stops at the door to a fire escape, which takes you down to the basement and to a service corridor. A key is turned in a large wooden door. Step inside and the temperature drops considerably. A short alarm goes off to let everybody know there is a visitor. The first thing you see is a large wooden table, which is made from an elm tree that blew down in St James's Park in around 1830. There is a curved brick ceiling painted white and there are three corridors on each side. These are where you find the wine racks, stretching from floor to ceiling. If their contents were sold on the open market, they would raise a fortune.The Government's estimate is £2m. Untouched for decades The wines here are some of the finest you could possibly wish to taste. They are fit for prime ministers, presidents and kings and queens. In fact, those are exactly the kind of guests who are likely to have the chance to indulge their palates on the contents of the best bottles. It has not been often that any journalist has been able to describe all of this, as access has been strictly limited. This unusual visit has come after months of trying and waiting. All the wines and spirits have been bought over many decades. Some of the dust suggests certain bottles have not been touched for much of that time. I pick up a bottle of the 1961 Chateau Latour. The palms of my hands become sweaty when I am informed how much it is worth. I am told that I will have to pay for it if I drop it. I have never put a bottle down so quickly, yet gently, in my life. The head of government hospitality, Robert Alexander OBE, is watching carefully. \"This probably now has a market value of somewhere in the region of £4,000 and £10,000,\" he says, \"depending on where you are selling it in the world.\" \"It was purchased for 51 shillings and five pence.\" The most that has ever been spent on any single bottle for the cellar was around £100. There is a row of vintage champagnes. There used to be 17 different types but that number is somewhat smaller now. The 1878 Grand Fins Bois Cognac is said to be \"excellent, superlative even - fiery and delicious\". I am drawn to a port, without a label. I am told it is a 1931 Quinta do Noval and is considered to be one of best of the 20th Century. There are some intriguing clues in the cellar's stock list as to which wines the powerful prefer with their meals - whether British politicians or visitors. Lady Thatcher described the 1961 Chateau Margaux as \"silky\". A French delegation called the Corton 1961, Grand Cru, Cote de Beaune, Bouchard Pere et Fils \"a national treasure\". Robert Alexander says not all of the wines are reserved for big state banquets and important visitors from abroad. \"The majority of our work does not involve heads of state. We're looking at ministerial hospitality hosted by ministers from a whole range of government departments and that's where most of wine is being deployed. It's not the top wines. It's the good standard reliable stock that we are using on a day-to-day basis.\" The more expensive vintages are now unlikely to be consumed by any guest. During the course of the next year, around £50,000 worth will be sold in order to buy new bottles. This will be repeated over the subsequent three years. The government says the purchase of wine will now be \"entirely self-financing\". However, the day-to-day maintenance of the cellar will still be paid for by the tax payer. The Foreign Office, which runs the wine cellar, says it seriously considered shutting it down entirely but that an 11-month review concluded that it remains the most cost-effective way of supplying wine for the government's various events. Alas, the closest I came to any of the wine and spirits was picking up one of the bottles. I am not then as fortunate as some of the security officers, who accompany presidents and members of royalty when they visit London. A Foreign Office official told me that some insist on tasting the wine before it is served up to the VIP they are looking after. Apparently, it is to do with keeping the visitors safe, rather than being able to say they have tasted one of the best wines around.",

            "input": "Rory Cellan-JonesTechnology correspondent@BBCRoryCJon Twitter But here's another thought - what if all of this is a huge waste of money which would be better spent on employing more teachers? That was the provocative question posed in a blog on the eve of BETT by the General Secretary of the National Association of Head Teachers. According to one newspaper headline Russell Hobby said \"money spent by schools on fad iPads could have funded 8,000 teachers\". Another translated it as \"Schools should stop wasting money buying iPads and 'shiny gadgets' for pupils.\" When I caught up with Mr Hobby - on the phone rather than at BETT - he said his message had been somewhat exaggerated by those headlines. But he had wished to start a debate about the priorities for schools. \"We're facing some very difficult spending decisions,\" he said, \"we've got to ask ourselves, if we lost all the technology we have now would we actually go backwards?\" He insisted that he was no Luddite - \"it's the uncritical purchase of gadgets that worries me,\" he said. I pressed him for an example and and he came up with interactive whiteboards, rather than tablets. These expensive pieces of kit are now in just about every classroom in the country, and Mr Hobby is far from alone in his criticism. Plenty of teachers question their usefulness, and I have seen them employed in one school recently as surfaces on which to stick paper notices. Not exactly hi-tech… I took these criticisms to the man who has probably done more than anyone to promote the use of technology in British education. Dominic Savage is the founder of BETT and the director general of the British Educational Suppliers Association, which represents the companies selling technology into schools. \"What an unfortunate message to be putting out,\" he said of Russell Hobby's attack on his life's work. We're asking teachers to do more and more every day. It's not a question of throwing teachers at the problem - it's asking how do we provide the technology that enables them to do what we are asking of them?\" I challenged him to defend the investment in those whiteboards and he admitted that these had not really worked. He said early users who'd had extensive training had produced good results, But then a cost-cutting exercise by BECTA, the now-disbanded school technology quango. \"It does not surprise me in the slightest that it did not have the impact it should have, but it's not the problem with the technology in that case.\" Where both men agree is that simply throwing money at technology without investing in teacher training does not work. And there's an issue of scale - bigger often isn't better. What often seem clever initiatives in a few well-funded schools then prove to be pretty useless when implemented wholesale by local councils or academy chains. Still, with little money to fund the big technology schemes we've seen over the past two decades, the problem may be solving itself. While the major tech companies still turn up in strength at events like BETT, their stands seemed sparsely populated. Creative teachers are turning to free software, cheap devices like the Raspberry Pi or even their pupils' mobile phones as they work out how to use technology to enhance their lessons. The digital transformation of education continues - but it's a much more decentralised and low-budget revolution.",

Power was slowly being restored in different areas after the cuts. Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro blamed the opposition for \"sabotage\" to power transmission lines. \"Everything seems to indicate that the extreme right has resumed its plan for an electrical strike against the country,\" he said in a tweet. In a live address on state television, the president also said the cuts were \"part of a low-level war\" against the country, a \"folly by twisted and desperate minds\". 'Poor upkeep' President Maduro did not give any evidence of the \"sabotage\" but said he had instructed the military \"to protect the entire country\". Opposition leader Henrique Capriles said the government was trying to divert public attention from the country's problems by concocting the conspiracy theory. Deputy Electrical Energy Minister Franco Silva said a fault had occurred in one of the national grid's main transmission lines at 12:30 local time (17:00GMT). The cut affected large parts of the country for about three hours, after which time power was gradually restored. The oil industry was not affected as Venezuela's oil refineries are powered by separate generator plants. Government officials have in the past said that high energy consumption at peak times and poor maintenance of transmission lines have led to a high incidence of cuts. In 2010 the late President Hugo Chavez signed a decree declaring an \"electricity emergency\" to help his government tackle power shortages. The opposition says the government of Mr Chavez and his successor, Nicolas Maduro, may have spent billions of dollars on programmes to garner votes from the poor but has failed to invest in the upkeep and expansion of the electrical grid to meet growing demand. Although Venezuela has big oil reserves, it is dependent on hydro-electricity for some 70% of its power. Power cuts are common in Venezuela, especially in the country's interior states, but rarely affect the capital, Caracas.",

Old microwaves, washing machines, dishwashers and other household items made up the bulk of the waste. Only 16% of the items discarded found their way into proper recycling and re-use schemes. Urban mine The report found the US was the nation which disposed of most electronic waste with 7,072 kilotonnes generated in 2014. China was second (6,032 kilotonnes) and Japan third (2,200 kilotonnes). European nations topped the rankings of regions measured by how much waste each citizen generated. In Norway, each inhabitant did away with about 28.4kg of electronic waste, found the report. Across Africa levels of e-waste generated per inhabitant were lower at 1.7kg per person. The report said rising levels of discarded electronic equipment were being driven by the growing popularity of domestic electronics and because many modern devices did not last as long as older versions of the same products. Far more should be done to capture e-waste and \"mine\" the valuable resources used to make such equipment, said UN under-secretary-general David Malone, rector of the UN University. \"Worldwide, e-waste constitutes a valuable 'urban mine' - a large potential reservoir of recyclable materials,\" he said. Buried within the 41.8 million tonnes of waste was more than 16,000 kilotonnes of iron, 1,900 kilotonnes of copper and 300 tonnes of gold as well as other precious metals such as palladium. The combined value of all these valuable resources was about $52bn (£35bn) estimated the report.

            "input": "By Paul AdamsBBC News, Beirut Mahmud and his brother-in-law, Fawaz, are salvaging what they can from what used to be their father’s home, a modest flat tucked away behind one of Beirut’s seafront tower blocks. They stumble over rubble and twisted metal to reach what used to be the living room. A fridge leans on its side, its door hanging open. A bird cage lies crushed on the floor, a lifeless canary nearby. Small showers of shattered glass still occasionally sprinkle down from the floors above. The Côte Building is still standing, but it’s a wreck. It’ll be a long time before new tenants are found for its gutted luxury apartments. If anyone can claim to have been living closest to the epicentre of the explosion in Beirut on 4 August, it was the people living out of sight at the back of the ground floor: the Kenno family, refugees from Syria’s Aleppo province. From the gutted lobby of the Côte, the view gives out over the busy coast road to the port beyond. A cloud of yellow dust still swirls over the shattered grain silos next to where 2,750 tonnes of ammonium nitrate exploded, sending a devastating shock wave across the city. That evening, Mahmud’s father Ali was sitting next to the building where he worked as concierge, watching the fire raging at the port. His wife Fatmah told him to come inside, but he didn’t think there was anything to worry about. The explosion brought heavy stone cladding raining down from above, wounding them both, as well as their 11-year old daughter Huda. When Mahmud heard the blast, he raced to the building from the nearby suburb of Daoura. “I thought I would never see my family alive,” he says. “On the way from Daoura, I saw terrible scenes. I saw people in their cars, dead. I thought that would be my family’s fate.” Ali, Fatmah and Huda all suffered terrible injuries but survived. However, Huda’s 16-year-old sister, Sidra, died in the rubble. Mahmud and Fawaz wrap small pieces of bloodied stone in a sheet, adding them to their meagre collection of belongings. They take them up into the nearby hills, where the family has found temporary accommodation and a place to nurse their many wounds. More on the explosion in Beirut They’re exhausted and broken, grieving for Sidra. Mahmud has already buried her, far away in the Bekaa Valley, in a plot reserved for Syrian refugees. Huda and her mother lie still on thin mattresses, immobilised by neck and back braces. Ali has an ugly scar on the back of his head. He suffered a fractured skull. He’s still blind in one eye. All three are in pain and Mahmud feels they’re not getting adequate care. But with Beirut’s hospitals overwhelmed, the family must look after themselves. They have no savings and now no work either. They’re spending what little they have on medicine and accommodation. Ali doubts he’ll ever make it back to his job at the Côte. “I don’t know,” he says. “How will I see? How will I recover? My head hurts. I lost a daughter. My wife is sick. My other daughter’s sick. I can’t go back.” Back in Beirut, Syrian refugees queue anxiously at street corner aid stations set up by local charities. You don’t hear Beirutis talking much about it, but Syrians refugees were hugely caught up in the explosion. The UN says at least 13 refugees died and that 57 remain unaccounted for. The real number may never be known as not all Syrian refugees are registered or carry papers. Many lived in poor neighbourhoods adjacent to the port, while some worked on the docks. With homes damaged and breadwinners gone, life for an estimated 1.5 million Syrian refugees in Lebanon has just become a little harder. Mahmud was living and working in Lebanon long before the rest of his family fled Syria. He arrived at the age of 13 and even helped to build the tower block where his family ended up living. He’s always looked after himself. He can’t stand this new feeling of helplessness. “I hate it when someone calls me a refugee,” he says. “I have my dignity. I’ll never put out my hand and ask for help. But now I really need it. My situation is really, really bad.” After two weeks of relentless effort - locating his hospitalised relatives, burying his sister, providing for the extended family - he’s bitter. “All I’m thinking about is how to get out of here,” he says. “I hate this country. My sister died here.”",

The row over the islands, called Diaoyu in China and Senkaku in Japan, has left ties between Tokyo and Beijing tense. In her comments on Friday following a meeting with Japanese Foreign Minister Fumio Kishida, Mrs Clinton said the US did not take an official view on the sovereignty of the islands. But she said Washington opposed \"any unilateral actions that would seek to undermine Japanese administration\". \"We want to see China and Japan resolve this matter peacefully through dialogue.\" \"We do not want to see any action taken by anyone that could raise tensions or result in miscalculation that would undermine the peace, security and economic growth in this region.\" In Monday's regular briefing to journalists, Mr Hong said the US \"bears undeniable historical responsibility on the Diaoyu issue\". \"The US comments ignore facts and confuse truth with untruth,\" he said. \"China is strongly displeased and firmly opposed to it. We urge the US to responsibly treat the Diaoyu issue, watch their words and deeds, maintain regional stability and Sino-US relations, so that Chinese people can trust them.\" Mr Hong added that there was no doubt that China owns the islands, and said the reason for the \"extreme tensions\" was Japan's \"illegal purchase\" of them. It was the second time in two days the foreign ministry had condemned the remarks - on Sunday, spokesman Qin Gang said the ministry \"resolutely opposes\" the US remarks. The row over ownership of the islands, which lie south of Okinawa and north of Taiwan, has been rumbling for years. It reignited in September when the Japanese government purchased three of the islands from their private Japanese owner, leading to protests in some Chinese cities and fall-out for some Japanese businesses operating in China. Chinese government ships have since sailed many times through what Japan says are its territorial waters around the islands. On Monday, Japan said three Chinese maritime surveillance ships had again entered waters around the islands in the early morning, spending about 15 minutes there. China had already said it had three ships patrolling the area. It announced last week it would be carrying out a geological survey of the islands as part of its \"programme to safeguard its maritime rights and interests\".

Peru has been rocked by mass protests since Congress voted on Monday to impeach Mr Vizcarra over alleged bribery - charges he denies. Speaker of Congress Manuel Merino has taken over as interim president. There are concerns of a growing political crisis as Peru faces a severe economic downturn brought on by the coronavirus pandemic. Tens of thousands of demonstrators - many of them young - gathered again in Lima and other cities on Saturday for protests that were for the large part peaceful. The capital echoed with sirens, shouts and chants of protesters demanding the removal of Mr Merino, Reuters reports. Clashes broke out towards the evening after a group of hooded protesters threw fireworks and stones at the police, who responded with tear gas. Two men, one aged 24 and the other 25, were killed. Mr Vizcarra, 57, has enjoyed continued support among many voters for his attempts at reform. He has been embroiled in a bitter battle with Congress, which is dominated by rival parties, since he took office in March 2018. Last year, the president dissolved Congress, arguing that lawmakers were obstructing his anti-corruption agenda. A new Congress was elected in January, but tension remained high between the legislative and the executive, with Mr Vizcarra accusing lawmakers of fostering \"chaos and disorder\". Mr Vizcarra has denied allegations that he accepted bribes worth 2.3m soles ($640,000; £487,000) when he was governor of the southern Moquegua region. Monday's move in Congress came after a previous attempt to remove him. An earlier vote held on 18 September fell far short of gaining the necessary votes when only 32 lawmakers cast their ballot in favour of removing Mr Vizcarra. Mr Vizcarra had previously said he would accept the impeachment vote, not take any legal action, and leave the presidential palace. But on Tuesday, he questioned the \"legality and legitimacy\" of his removal. \"Legality is in question because the Constitutional Court has not yet ruled, and legitimacy is given by the people,\" he told reporters outside his home in Lima. Mr Merino is expected to retain the presidency until July 2021 - when Mr Vizcarra's term was due to end.",

Viagogo said it aimed \"to ensure that if you buy a ticket you get a ticket in time for the event\". It earlier failed in a High Court bid to stop the programme airing. The company had sought an injunction on the grounds of breach of commercial confidence. The High Court held the material was not commercially confidential and even if it had been, it would have been in the public interest to report. The issue of reselling concert tickets is a divisive one, with opponents complaining that desperate fans often have to pay over-inflated prices. 'Premium partner' On Thursday night's Dispatches programme, fans were shown complaining that tickets were resold at higher prices on secondary ticketing websites within minutes of events selling out. They also complained that they had believed they were buying from other fans, rather than promoters, and said they had less chance of buying tickets at face value. Dispatches alleged that Live Nation, which works with artists including Madonna and U2, and SJM Concerts, which works with One Direction and Jessie J, had allocated large numbers of tickets to Viagogo. Viagogo UK director Ed Parkinson told the BBC News website its business model was to \"guarantee that buyers get their tickets and sellers get paid\". \"We allow anyone to sell on our marketplace and the overwhelming majority of our sellers are individuals but it also includes larger sellers which can include concert promoters. \"We don't discriminate. We allow anyone to sell on our market place as long as they deliver the tickets that they sell.\" Music fans on the Dispatches programme also complained that some desirable tickets at concerts, including for front row seats, were put straight onto ticketing websites. Mr Parkinson said that, as a \"premium ticketing partner\" to a number of promoters and organisations, \"this will mean that certain premium seats will be made available to us\". Viagogo makes money by taking a cut of a ticket's selling price. A spokeswoman said the same rate applied to tickets sold by major concert promoters as those sold by individual music fans. But she could not comment on any further deals made with partners. Neither Live Nation nor SJM Concerts have commented on the practice but the Concert Promoters Association (CPA), of which both are members, said some promoters \"at least in part, operate in the secondary market\". It said this was because the last government had failed to outlaw the resale of concert tickets, despite lobbying from the CPA. \"If promoters put tickets into the secondary market then the result is that prices are brought down whilst also ensuring that some of the tickets available in the secondary are actually genuine ones,\" the CPA said in a statement. The secondary market was \"effectively being used as a premium price primary market for those fans who wish to use it for convenience\", it added. Those fans would be happier that a premium paid \"went to the artist via the promoter rather than went to a tout\", it said. The CPA said \"the real problem\" facing fans was that \"tickets that touts put onto the secondary market don't actually exist and those that do are not in their possession to sell on\". Earlier this month, Jon Webster, chief executive of the Music Managers Forum, called for a cap on resale values. He told the BBC: \"It reflects badly, at the end of the day, on the artists - probably more so than anyone. \"Punters don't know who the promoters are most of the time so, in the end, the fans blame the artist.\"",

Currently, 493 people are in hospital in Wales with confirmed cases of the virus, 55 of them in critical care. Three quarters of intensive care patients are put on a mechanical ventilator within the first 24 hours, he said.

The Transplantation Bill would see body parts automatically available for transplant unless the person objected during their lifetime. The Health Committee said it backed the aim, but not the detail, of the bill. The legislation was introduced as a members' bill by Scottish Labour MSP Anne McTaggart. Its supporters argue that the bill would increase the number of organs available for transplants, and therefore reduce waiting times and save lives. But the committee said the majority of its members believed there was not enough clear evidence that changing to the specific opt-out system proposed by the bill would increase the number of donations. However, it also said there \"may be merit\" in developing a \"workable\" opt-out system. It called on the Scottish government to carry out a detailed consultation on methods of increasing organ donations, including opt-out, in the next parliament, and to consider legislating itself. The committee also said some of its members did support the general principles of the bill and and felt that it needed to be introduced now. Committee convener Duncan McNeil said the committee recognised the \"devastating impact on all aspects of family life of those who are waiting for donated organs\". He added: \"As a committee we have to consider all the evidence placed in front of us and it was clear that there are differing views about the best way to increase donation rates. \"While the committee supported the aim behind the legislation, a majority couldn't support the detail.\" The bill proposes a move to a \"soft opt-out\" system which would allow parts of a dead adult's body to be used in transplants in the absence of express permission. Not enough It would still be possible for people to opt-in to organ donation, but the bill would also give adults the option of appointing someone to make a decision about authorisation on their behalf. They would also be able to register in advance that they do not want their organs or tissue to be removed. Scotland has increased the number of organ donations over the past decade, with 41% of people now on the Organ Donor Register. However, there are still not enough donated organs to save the lives of everyone who needs a transplant. BMA Scotland, which represents doctors, said it was disappointed by the committee's conclusions. Dr Sue Robertson, a kidney doctor in Dumfries, said: \"If properly implemented, with adequate resources and staff, and backed up by a high-profile publicity campaign, an opt-out system could save or transform peoples' lives. \"All the time we waste now means that more lives will be lost.\" Wales introduced an opt-out system in December of last year, following many European countries including Spain, France, Belgium, Poland, Portugal, Sweden and Norway. The Scottish government has previously said it would consider an organ donation opt-out if the Welsh scheme went well. But Health Minister Maureen Watt has also expressed concerns about the bill put forward by Ms McTaggart.",

The Labour peer told the House of Lords that up to £400m of illicit funds may have been moved by the banks. His concerns relate to links between South Africa's President Jacob Zuma and a wealthy business family, the Guptas. The peer has written to the Chancellor Philip Hammond, telling him a whistle-blower had indicated the banks \"maybe inadvertently have been conduits for the corrupt proceeds of money\". Lord Hain told the BBC he named 27 people in the letter, in addition to companies, adding that any person or firm linked to alleged corruption in South Africa is \"going to be badly contaminated\". The Treasury has referred Lord Hain's letter to regulators, including the Financial Conduct Authority, and the SFO. A Treasury spokesman said: \"We take allegations of financial misconduct very seriously, and have passed Lord Hain's letter on to the Financial Conduct Authority and relevant UK law enforcement agencies, including the National Crime Agency and Serious Fraud Office, to agree the right action.\" The BBC's correspondent in Johannesburg, Andrew Harding, said Lord Hain's letter was \"a new twist in a giant corruption scandal that is shaking the South Africa state, and damaging the reputations of a number of global companies\". Mr Zuma and the Guptas strongly deny wrongdoing, and say they are victims of a \"politically motivated witch-hunt\". But leaked emails and official investigations have fuelled claims that the Guptas have bought influence in government in order to loot state enterprises. In South Africa, the scandal has already ruined British public relations company Bell Pottinger and damaged auditors KPMG, which removed its top executive team in the country. A spokeswoman for the FCA said it was already in contact with the banks named by Lord Hain and would \"consider carefully further responses received\". Standard Chartered said: \"We are not able to comment on the details of client transactions, but can confirm that following an internal investigation accounts were closed by us in 2014.\" HSBC declined to comment. Lord Hain, a leading anti-apartheid campaigner who grew up in South Africa, urged UK authorities \"to track that stolen money down and make sure that British financial institutions help return it to South African taxpayers\". It is claimed that money was taken out of South Africa via Hong Kong and Dubai. Lord Hain, a former Northern Ireland secretary, alleged in his letter to the chancellor that the issue was \"a result of the corruption and cronyism presided over by President Zuma and close allies the Guptas\". During his Lords statement, the peer asked what steps the government was taking to prevent money laundering through UK banks. The minister, Lord Bates, said the UK is \"committed\" to fighting money laundering and is \"concerned\" at the allegations. He added that the high commission in South Africa is \"monitoring the issue closely\". Meanwhile, the Financial Times on Thursday reported that the FBI had opened an investigation into possible links between the Guptas and \"individuals, bank accounts, and companies in the US\".

The air force struck after the government rejected a new ceasefire announced by the PKK on Saturday. Tensions in Turkey were already high, with a general election looming on 1 November.

On Saturday, the air force targeted the PKK in Turkey's Diyarbakir province. Forty-nine people were reported killed in the strikes, but these figures could not be verified independently. \"The PKK ceasefire means nothing for us,\" one senior Turkish security official told Reuters news agency. \"The operations will continue without a break.\" The government has furiously denied opposition suggestions it was involved in the Ankara bomb attacks itself. HDP leader Selahattin Demirtas accused the government of failing to fully investigate earlier attacks on political rallies. \"The state which gets information about the bird that flies, and every flap of its wing, was not able to prevent a massacre in the heart of Ankara,\" he said. According to the HDP, the true death toll from Saturday is at least 128. The Turkish authorities believe two suicide bombers struck at the rally on Saturday. Two senior security officials who spoke to Reuters said the initial signs were that IS was to blame. \"All signs indicate that the attack may have been carried out by Isil [IS],\" one of the unnamed sources said. \"We are completely focused on Isil.\" Funerals Three days of mourning began on Sunday. In Istanbul, hundreds of mourners at the funeral of one victim, Kubra Meltem Mollaoglu, chanted, \"The killer government will be held accountable for its crimes!\" Thousands of people gathered in the centre of Ankara to remember the victims.

That is a slight drop on the January figures, which were the worst since the target was introduced in 2004. And in another sign of growing A&E pressures, a unit in Lancashire is being forced to close overnight from next week because of a staffing crisis. Bosses running the Chorley A&E said they had to take the step because they did not have the doctors to staff the unit. There is a national shortage of A&E doctors and Chorley said this had been exacerbated by the national cap on agency staff which has been brought in. The cap limits the amount hospitals can pay for locum staff to no more than 55% above normal shift rates. It has been phased in since November as the government has demanded the health service curb the rising bill for agency staff, which has been cited as one of the major factors behind the deficits being racked. The Chorley unit - part of the Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust - tried to apply the cap but found it could not fill its rotas. It relied heavily on locum staff because it did not have enough permanent doctors and so this month has stopped using the cap, under the emergency clause in the regulations, but still could not find the staff. There have been suggestions other trusts have got round it by paying permanent doctors extra to fill shifts. Trust medical director Prof Mark Pugh said: \"We simply cannot staff the rotas and it is an unacceptable risk to patient safety to attempt to provide an emergency service with no doctors available to see people.\" Dr Cliff Mann, of the Royal College of Emergency Medicine, said Chorley was not the only unit affected. \"A&E units rely on locums more than others because we have problems filling posts with permanent staff and we have to provide a 24/7 service. \"This is not a unique situation.\" The news emerged as NHS England published its monthly performance report for February. As well as the problems in A&E, the 111 phone service, ambulances and cancer care also missed key performance targets. The 18-week target to see patients needing routine treatments, such as knee and hip operations, was met although a number of trusts did not submit data. Candace Imison, of the Nuffield Trust, said: \"Today's figures are the very visible symptoms of a system facing both inexorably increasing patient numbers and severe financial strain.\" NHS England's Richard Barker said the problems in A&E were also related to a later-than-normal spike in flu cases and problems hospitals were experiencing discharging patients because of problems accessing social care support in the community for vulnerable patients. \"Despite these pressures, for the year as a whole more than nine out of ten patients have been admitted, treated or discharged in under four hours, while long trolley waits have halved compared with last year,\" he added. Across the rest of the UK the four-hour target is also being missed, according to latest figures. Performance in Wales and Northern Ireland is worse than in England, while in Scotland just below 93% of patients were seen within target during February. Read more from Nick Follow Nick on Twitter",

Council leader Paul Lakin has resigned and the council cabinet will also quit. An earlier inquiry found 1,400 children were abused by gangs of men, mainly of Pakistani origin, from 1997 to 2013. The National Crime Agency (NCA) said the latest report, by Louise Casey, the director-general for troubled families at the Communities Department, identified \"a number of potentially criminal matters\". Files passed to the NCA relate to one former and one existing councillor arising from the inquiry, Ms Casey's spokesperson said. Investigators found the council had a \"deep-rooted\" culture of cover-ups and silencing whistleblowers, Ms Casey said. It also found the child sexual exploitation (CSE) team was poorly directed, suffered from excessive case loads, and did not share information between agencies. Ms Casey said: \"This inspection revealed past and present failures to accept, understand and combat the issue of child sexual exploitation, resulting in a lack of support for victims and insufficient action against known perpetrators.\" A spokesman for the NCA said it would \"examine a number of potentially criminal matters identified during a recent inspection of Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council.\" Mr Pickles said he planned to give control of the council to a team of five commissioners, including an overall lead and one tasked specifically with looking at children's services. Rotherham abuse scandal 1,400 children were abused, 1997-2013 5 resignations, including South Yorkshire Police and Crime Commissioner Shaun Wright and Council leaders Roger Stone and Paul Lakin 5 reports published since August 2014 10 South Yorkshire Police officers under investigation by the IPCC 7,000 documents reviewed for Louise Casey Report They would \"provide new leadership\" and take over the roles of the \"wholly dysfunctional cabinet,\" he said. The council has 14 days to respond to his \"wholly exceptional\" proposals, Mr Pickles said. He also plans to impose early elections in 2016. The elections would give people a chance to \"renew the membership of their council and elect those they have confidence in\", he explained. He said he hoped control would be returned to Rotherham Council as \"rapidly as possible\". In a statement the council said it needed \"time to understand and respond to the detailed report\". It said: \"We recognise the need for a fresh start that is so clearly identified in the report, but also appreciate that we need to continue to deliver services to the people of Rotherham, and ensure business continuity. \"We should not forget that the publication of this report will re-open old wounds for the victims and survivors of CSE. \"We will continue to put in place the help and support they need at this difficult time, including our dedicated helpline.\" Ms Casey was asked by Mr Pickles to inspect the council in the wake of the Jay Report in August 2014. A victim's story \"You could tell with my appearance. I went to five-and-a-half stone and different coloured hair. I was a totally different person. \"Obviously, there were warning signs there. I wasn't going to school, I wasn't going home so there's no way that they couldn't have realised that something was wrong. \"A worker got involved with me. She was trying to tell people what was happening but nobody would listen. \"There were various authorities that knew what was going off and decided to ignore it. I had a child protection officer, she ignored it, someone from social services, they ignored it. \"There were various meetings about me, which were saying if there was anybody found to be dead it'd be me.\" The inspection team reviewed about 7,000 documents, looked in detail at case files and met more than 200 people, including current and former staff, council members, partners, victims and parents. 'Resolute denial' According to the report, child abusers in Rotherham are identified but \"little or no action is taken to stop or even disrupt their activities\". Rotherham Council demonstrated a \"resolute denial\" of the child abuse that was taking place, the report found. Ms Casey said the local authority was \"repeatedly told\" by its own youth service what was happening. It chose, she said \"not only to not act, but to close that service down.\" Attitudes within the council include dismissal of Prof Jay's findings, denial of knowledge of the \"scale and scope\" of CSE, blaming others and denial that CSE remains a serious problem in present-day Rotherham. The council also had an \"excessive deference\" to South Yorkshire Police, preventing the use of council powers to tackle perpetrators, and a lack of scrutiny over the police's actions. Investigators were told that former council leader Roger Stone had been \"a bully\". \"What Stone said, went,\" a senior officer told the investigation. \"Everyone was terrified of Stone.\" A councillor said: \"He is a bully, in my opinion. In Labour group he would impress himself on people, male or female. A lot of women have felt a sense of suppression and macho culture.\" Mr Stone declined to be interviewed by investigators but sent a statement instead. Michael Buchanan, BBC Social Affairs Correspondent In the days after the Alexis Jay report was published, Rotherham council promised much - they'd learn lessons, they'd support victims, they'd change. It hasn't happened. Behind closed doors, they've poured scorn on the Jay report, still fear being called racist rather than acknowledge problems with Pakistani heritage men and most damningly of all are still failing to protect vulnerable children. Faced with such appalling incompetence, the government have acted in the only way they could. Changing the culture and practices of the council won't happen overnight but it's necessary. The people of Rotherham - in particular the children at continuing risk of sexual abuse - deserve nothing else. Ms Casey's report is the latest in a series of investigations following the publication of the Jay Report in August 2014. Prof Alexis Jay found an estimated 1,400 children had been sexually abused in Rotherham between 1997 and 2013. Children as young as 11 were raped by multiple perpetrators, abducted, trafficked to other cities in England, beaten and intimidated. Staff at the council did not report issues for fear of appearing racist, Ms Casey's report found. But the investigators said that by failing to take action against the abusers of Pakistani heritage, the council had \"inadvertently fuelled the far right and allowed racial tensions to grow\". The report added the lack of action had done a great disservice to the Pakistani community. Two investigations by Commons committees have been launched since the Jay Report was published and a number of high-profile figures have resigned including Shaun Wright, South Yorkshire's police and crime commissioner, who had been a councillor in the town and responsible for children's services. Roger Stone, the chief executive Martin Kimber and the council's director of children's services Joyce Thacker also quit. Mr Wright also refused to be interviewed for Ms Casey's report and sent a statement saying he had been unaware of the extent of the abuse. The National Crime Agency has taken over the investigation into child sexual exploitation in Rotherham and is in the preliminary stage of its inquiry. Last month, Ofsted admitted to the Communities and Local Government Committee that its inspections of children's services in the town had been \"not good enough\". Inspectors from the regulator failed to spot the extent of child sexual exploitation in the town over several years, rating the council as adequate. Meanwhile, police watchdog the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) is investigating 10 South Yorkshire Police officers over their handling of child sexual exploitation in Rotherham.",

            "input": "The Home Affairs Committee said how victims were dealt with shouldn't be dependent on where they live. They also recommended naming agencies that failed to meet the target. Ministers said new government measures would make it \"easier and quicker\" for agencies to protect victims. The committee was reviewing the government's draft Anti-Social Behaviour Bill, which is part of government plans to put victims in the \"driving seat\". Around 2.4m incidents of anti-social behaviour were recorded by the police in England and Wales for the year to September. 'Breed criminality' If the bill is passed, victims of anti-social behaviour will be able to choose the punishment for offenders under government plans. It would also establish a \"community trigger\" - a new tool that would give victims the right to demand that agencies take action, the threshold of which would be set locally. The government hopes this would help stop cases like Fiona Pilkington who killed herself and her daughter in 2007 after repeated complaints to police about harassment by youths. But the MPs found that while it was helpful to have some local flexibility in how the trigger was activated, a national maximum of vie complaints would provide a \"backstop\" for victims. Committee chair Keith Vaz said: \"Anti-social behaviour is not something trivial that can be ignored - it can crush lives and breed criminality in our communities. \"The community trigger is meant to be the last line of defence to protect the public from anti-social behaviour. No one should have to complain more than five times before they see action.\" Mr Vaz said the committee welcomed the government's work to speed up action against anti-social behaviour but a \"powerful trigger\" was needed to tackle persistent abuse. Pilots of the community trigger have been taking place in Brighton, West Lindsey, Boston, Richmond Housing, and Manchester - but Labour said the results had not been encouraging Based on data released under the Freedom of Information Act, there were 23,648 recorded incidents of anti-social behaviour in Manchester between June and October last year, but the community trigger was successfully activated just three times during that period, Labour said. Shadow home office minister Gloria de Piero said: \"Too many people are still waiting too long for their anti-social behaviour complaints to be dealt with. \"The home secretary's proposed community trigger is not the answer. \"Recommending that people have to wait until five complaints have been made before agencies have to act does not reflect the misery that can be caused by anti-social behaviour.\" 'Naming and shaming' Crime prevention minister Jeremy Browne said: \"The community trigger is intended to be a safety net for the public if police and local authorities do not take action, not the first response when a problem occurs. \"It is one of a range of new measures which will make it easier and quicker for agencies to protect victims and communities from the blight of anti-social behaviour.\" The committee also recommended a new national anti-social behaviour forum, headed by a chief constable, housing association chief executive and local council leader. The forum would help improve inter-agency working, that is communication between police, councils, housing associations and mental health authorities. To the consternation of some charities, MPs said they were happy to leave the decision not to name a young person subjected to an anti-social behaviour order to the discretion of judges. The Standing Committee for Youth Justice (SCYJ), a body whose members include Barnardo's, The Children's Society and Prison Reform Trust, said it was \"disappointed\" the committee did not \"oppose the naming and shaming of teenagers subject to anti-social behaviour orders\".",

            "input": "By Ken MacdonaldBBC Scotland Science Correspondent They say the lengths of tiny pieces of DNA called telomeres indicate whether a young creature is likely to live long into old age. But before you rush out to get your telomeres stretched - were such a process possible - it is worth pointing out that the creatures they have been working with are not humans but altogether shorter-lived zebra finches. Everything that is made up of living cells contains chromosomes: the genetic code that makes us what we are. At the ends of each chromosome lie the telomeres. They have been likened to the caps on the ends of shoelaces - they stop things from unravelling. Over time they wear down - and when they do, the DNA they protect is compromised and the cell can malfunction or die. This is where the zebra finches came in: how early and accurately could longer telomeres predict a longer life? To find out, the Glasgow researchers collaborated with colleagues at Exeter University, with Glasgow's Prof Pat Monaghan leading the team. Tiny blood samples were taken from a group of 99 zebra finches and the lengths of their telomeres measured. They were tested again throughout their lifetimes. To find out how long the birds lived, the researchers had to wait until they died. The first turned up its claws in just over six months. But the last hardy specimen kept them waiting almost nine years. In every case the longest lived birds had the longest telomeres, but the best predictor of lifespan was the length of the telomeres at just 25 days old. Life conditions Prof Monaghan says the study shows the importance of processes acting early in life. The next step will be to find out why the length of telomeres can vary so much from individual to individual. \"We now need to know more about how early life conditions can influence the pattern of telomere loss and the relative importance of inherited and environmental factors,\" she said. The results of the research have been published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences USA. They are certain to raise the question of whether our telomeres are similar predictors of how long we will live. But it is a big leap from the laboratory to the real world - whatever our telomeres may say, human lifespans also have to contend with additional factors like diet, drink and stress. Wild finches, meanwhile, have snakes and birds of prey to worry about. The bottom line for now? Ask not for whom the zebra finch chirps...",

It could end more than four months of wrangling since inconclusive elections in September. But the deal will still need to be approved by SPD members. Many in the party fear that re-entering a coalition with CDU/CSU could damage it in the long term. In a joint news conference on Wednesday, Chancellor Merkel said the agreement gave the basis for a \"good and stable government\". SPD leader Martin Schulz thanked the conservatives for making what he said were tough compromises. In a tweet, he said the deal \"achieved a lot for people\" and he would be recommending that his party members accept it. What has been agreed? The SPD looks set to control six ministries, including finance and foreign affairs. Mr Schulz has confirmed he will step down as SPD leader in March and instead become foreign minister, if the coalition deal is approved by SPD members. He will be replaced as SPD leader by former Labour and Social Affairs Minister Andrea Nahles. The SPD's 460,000 members will have the final say on the whole agreement in a postal vote, the result of which will be announced on 2 March. Those opposed to any deal with Mrs Merkel include a new group within the SPD calling itself NoGroKo (no grand coalition). Why does Germany's government matter? By Damien McGuinness, BBC News, Berlin Handing Germany's centre-left control of finance, foreign and labour policy would have a big impact on the rest of the world, particularly Europe. The promised spending spree on infrastructure and services will likely boost Germany's economy further, and the tax cuts may give an added boost to German consumer spending. A Social Democrat finance ministry - replacing pro-austerity Wolfgang Schäuble - is more likely to go along with French President Macron's ambitious plans for EU reform, by allowing more German support for struggling eurozone economies. Mr Macron wants to create a common eurozone budget and a eurozone finance minister, but Germany has so far been wary of any move that might lead to what it calls a \"transfer union\" used to prop up indebted governments. An SPD-led finance ministry could be much more amenable to Mr Macron's proposals. And at home these powerful ministries would help the SPD push for key left-wing policies, such as better rights for employees. All of this could go down well with SPD party members, who will vote on any final coalition deal. An agreement which looks like a win for the SPD will increase the likelihood that they will vote yes. But if they vote no, then the most likely outcome could be fresh elections. Why has this taken so long? Mr Schulz at first ruled out going back into government with Mrs Merkel's centre-right CDU and its Bavarian sister party, the CSU. The parties had seen their popularity drop after being in coalition on and off since 2005. He changed his mind when CDU/CSU coalition talks with the liberal Free Democrats (FDP) and Greens broke down. Both Mr Schulz and Mrs Merkel have been under pressure to see off a challenge by the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD), which became the third biggest party in September's election. Other than distributing ministries, there have been big stumbling blocks in the coalition talks over workers' rights and healthcare. Immigration, Europe, and tax, have also been points of contention. What has the reaction been? European Union allies, such as France, see Germany as a pillar of stability in the bloc and have been hoping Mrs Merkel succeeds. Top EU officials, including the Economics Commissioner Pierre Moscovici, welcomed the breakthrough on Wednesday. But inside Germany, FDP leader Christian Lindner said the CDU had been \"willing to give the SPD everything - key ministries and top positions - to keep the chancellorship\". He said in a tweet: \"Relaunching the German model in this parliament with this arrangement and this chancellor will clearly not be possible.\" Meanwhile Alice Weidel, the head of the far-right AfD's group of MPs in the new parliament, criticised the coalition's proposed immigration policy, which would see up to 220,000 asylum seekers given residency each year and a scheme to encourage highly-qualified people to move to Germany. She told Die Welt newspaper: \"The chasm between the ruling parties and the people of our country has never been bigger.\"",

They are expected to get a ring-fenced budget to spend on projects to combat problems such as obesity and smoking. But local government chiefs want the money put into the general pot as their funding will be cut by 26% by 2014. Public health directors are currently employed by primary care trusts. But as these will be scrapped with the introduction of GP consortiums in 2013 it has been decided that public health should revert back into local government - as it was before 1974. Lobbying Health Secretary Andrew Lansley has long-argued the public health budget should be protected as it is often raided during tough financial times because the benefits of investment take a long time to be realised. But councils have been lobbying in meetings with civil servants and ministers as well as through a formal consultation for the money not to be reserved. It comes after local government was one of the worst hits areas of the public sector in the recent spending review. Funding from central government is due to fall from £29.7bn to £24.2bn over the next four years, a cut of more than a quarter once inflation is taken into account. The Local Government Association, which represents councils, has argued that they should be free to decide how money is spent as the government has promised to devolve power down from the centre. It has also claimed that since much of the public health agenda cuts across council departments - for example public health directors work with highways and planning over things such as cycle networks and with schools over issues such as school meals and healthy lifestyle promotion - it could be counter-productive to set aside a specific pot. Councillor David Rogers, chairman of the LGA's community well-being board, said: \"Far from protecting resources for public health, a ring-fence may have the reverse effect and be viewed as the total amount of money which should be spent on making people healthier. \"Public health needs to be at the heart of what all councils do and not seen as a separate function.\" He added councils were \"fully committed\" to tackling public health problems, but said they needed \"financial freedom\" to decide what was in their residents' interests. He said the LGA would continue putting its case even if the white paper proposes the ring-fencing which currently amounts to just under 4% of the NHS's £104bn budget. Dr Frank Atherton, president of the Association of Directors of Public Health, said he understood the position local government was taking. \"We know the strain councils are under, but I think most public health directors would say it is right that the money is ring-fenced, certainly in the short-term. Otherwise the temptation for councils would be to shore up their existing budgets.\"",

Behind closed doors work on the strategic defence and security review (SDSR) is already well under way. The three armed services have had to put forward a range of options for cuts. Ministry of Defence officials privately concede that these options are \"brutal\". They include scrapping one or both of the Royal Navy's new aircraft carriers currently under construction in Rosyth, Fife; grounding the RAF's entire fleet of more than 70 Tornado jets years earlier than planned; and the Army losing up to 20,000 troops. There is still hope within the armed forces, and the MoD, that the prime minister will blink and hesitate when he has to decide where the axe should fall. But given the MoD's dire finances, that may be wishful thinking. 'Leaks and lobbying' True, the MoD has been spared the level of cuts that most other departments are facing. But it still has to make savings of between 10 and 20%. And that is on top of a huge financial black hole in the ministry's annual budget of £37bn. Whichever way you slice it, the cuts will be painful. The three armed services have been under strict orders not to engage in leaks and lobbying that could undermine the process. The government had hoped to conduct this review largely in private. But any hopes of doing this all by stealth have been dashed by MPs. The cross-party Commons Defence Select Committee has rushed out a report that criticises the lack of consultation, the budgetary straitjacket and the \"startling\" speed with which the review is being conducted. The committee warns that current military operations - namely Afghanistan - could be put at risk by the levels of cuts now being contemplated. Even though Afghanistan is meant to be funded separately by the Treasury, the overall costs of the military commitment still swallows as much as 30% of the MoD's budget. Rotating around 10,000 personnel in Helmand every six months does not come cheap. No doubt the defence committee has made life more difficult for the government. But not everyone in the MoD will be disappointed to see these arguments aired in public. It could strengthen the hand of Defence Secretary Liam Fox, who says he wants to avoid salami-slicing the military. Public spat Instead he talks of his ambition of creating a modern armed forces prepared to face the threats of the next decade. Dr Fox has already had a public spat with George Osborne over who should pay for replacing the Trident nuclear missile system, with the chancellor insisting that the MoD must fund the £20bn it will cost. But the MPs on the Defence Select Committee appear to be siding with the defence secretary when they say they expect the SDSR to be \"fully funded\". Liam Fox needs all the help he can get - ultimately he will not be making the decisions. It's the job of the National Security Council (NSC) - chaired by the prime minister - to decide the future shape and size of the armed forces. The NSC is due to start its deliberations as early as next week. Again, behind closed doors. At the heart of the debate is the apparent contradiction of the government's objectives. On the one hand there's the urgency to save money. But at the same time the wish to preserve and enhance Britain's place in the world. Foreign Secretary William Hague insists there will be no \"strategic shrinkage\". But can you do both? These are very difficult decisions for David Cameron. But few in high office would be prepared to admit that Britain can no longer afford to be a major military power.",

Upset that so many elderly people would spend the festive season alone, the 28 women prepared 533 gift bags for residents of nursing homes near Glen Falls, New York. The last of the presents was delivered on Friday in Fort Edward, New York, accompanied by girl scouts singing carols. After a picture of 61 bags prepared by one woman, Stacey Woods, was posted on Reddit by her husband, many on the platform have been inspired to do the same. \"I was so overwhelmed by the huge response on Reddit - it's wonderful thing if other people do the same thing,\" Stacey explained. The women, who met working for a direct sales company that sells bags and other items, first began the initiative in 2017. \"We wanted to do something for our community, and in Glen Falls there is a scheme where you can adopt a local resident to support at Christmas.\" \"My friend was given the name of a senior and when she called the nursing home, they told her this statistic that 60% don't receive visitors,\" explained Stacey, who works as a business analyst as well as a direct sales consultant. The group then decided to put together gifts for a wing of the care home, but when word spread they managed to collect enough bags for hundreds of elderly people. This year they've collected 533 bags for five nursing homes between Vermont and Albany, New York. \"It's just to try and bring them some cheer, because they are forgotten about. We all think about the kids, but so few people think about seniors - people without family or whose family have effectively abandoned them,\" Stacey added. To fund the initiative, each member of the group sells bags to family and friends who would like to sponsor a nursing home resident. The sales commission then pays for the gifts, although Stacey says she spent an additional $400 (£316) on presents. The bags contain a fleece blanket, a pen with an activity book, lip balm and lotion - all items recommended by the care homes. Stacey also asks everyone donating to write a personal message in a Christmas card for the person they're giving presents to. \"They love the gifts, because they are things that they don't have access to, and they get excited to have people who come visit who they know have been thinking about them,\" Stacey explained. In the UK about 7% of the population expects to spend Christmas alone this year, according to a poll carried out by ComRes for the BBC in December. And earlier this year, a study from the Office of National Statistics found that young adults are more likely to feel lonely than older people.

            "input": "By Hannah RichardsonBBC News education and social affairs reporter In 2018, 3,090 looked-after children were living independently, government data published in the Children's Rights Alliance for England report shows. And local authority data shows at least 1,173 spent more than six months living in this way, 19 of these were 14 or 15. Children's services bosses predict a £3.1bn funding shortfall by 2025. The children in question are in the care of local authorities because something has gone wrong in their birth family. They are being cared for in what is known as independent accommodation, rather than children's homes or foster care. This means they may have access to floating support teams and may receive a visit from a social worker once a week - but there are no overnight live-in staff looking after them. 'Form of neglect' And, according to the alliance, which is part of the charity Just for Kids Law, the true number of children being supported in this way is likely to be higher. Only a quarter of England's councils approached under Freedom of Information laws by the alliance replied to its questions. Charity chief executive Enver Solomon said he believed the practice was a form of neglect. The state was not fulfilling its role as a corporate parent by accommodating children in this way, he said. \"It's not good enough,\" he said. \"No parent would expect their 14 or 15-year-old, or even their 16 or 17-year-old, to be living away from home independently and having to support themselves and fend for themselves.\" Although it is local authorities that have placed these children, Mr Solomon was sympathetic to their situation. \"Councils are between a rock and a hard place,\" he said. \"They have statutory duties but they have limited resources. \"Most are trying to do their best in very difficult circumstances and they can end up placing children in very neglectful circumstances.\" Rising demand Councillor Anntoinette Bramble, who chairs the Local Government Association's children and young people board, said councils always sought the best possible support for vulnerable children and young people. \"But this is becoming increasingly difficult with social workers supporting record numbers of children in care while working with a funding gap that will reach £3.1bn by 2025,\" she said. \"The number of children in care has increased by 27% over the past decade but government funding and placement capacity has failed to keep pace with this rising demand. \"This means that finding high quality accommodation can be particularly challenging at times where emergency placements are required at extremely short notice. \"This is why it is absolutely vital that the government delivers a long-term sustainable funding solution for children's services in this year's spending review.\" On the issue of unsupervised children in care, the report says: \"Children and young people should never be housed in B&Bs, hotels or caravan parks. \"Before placing any child or young person in independent accommodation, LAs [local authorities] should conduct a safeguarding check and risk assessment. \"They should give careful consideration to whether on-site or visiting adult support is appropriate for their needs and put in place arrangements to ensure they can contact support services out of hours. \"The DfE [Department for Education] and LAs should reform how data on the number of children and young people placed in independent accommodation is recorded and collated, and publish this data quarterly.\" 'Stepping stone' The report also highlights how local authorities have lost an estimated 60p out of every £1 since 2010. And this trend is set to continue, with a predicted £3.9bn shortfall in 2018-19 set to grow to £7.8bn by 2024-25. \"Early intervention is essential to support children and their families and to stop problems escalating,\" it says. \"Early intervention allocation to local authorities fell from £3.28bn in 2010-11 to £1.17bn by 2017-2018 - a drop of 64%.\" Children and Families Minister Nadhim Zahawi said semi-independent settings can act as a stepping-stone for young people switching out of care to prepare them for living as an independent adult. \"Statutory guidance requires local authorities to ensure that children in care and care leavers are provided with suitable accommodation that meets their needs, including that they are safe and secure, and I recently wrote to all directors of children's dervices to remind them of this obligation.\" The Dfe said where local authorities place a child in 'other accommodation', they must ensure that it is suitable to meet the child's needs. It is working with the chair of the Residential Care Leadership Board to analyse data on this issue, it said. It is also supporting local authorities to increase the number of foster placements and secure and non-secure residential placements.",

But the benefit has been stopped after it was found paying relatives breached legislation. Sophie Howe said this was wrong, the government said it was considering if the law should change. \"Where grandparents are looking after their grandchildren and are registered childminders it makes absolute sense for them to look after their grandchildren,\" Ms Howe told BBC Wales' Wales Live programme. \"If the regulation is preventing something which is inherently sensible, then let's change the regulations.\" The Welsh Government has pledged 30 hours free weekly childcare for working parents of three and four-year-olds across Wales under a flagship policy. A pilot of the scheme had allowed parents to use registered childminders related to them, providing they did not live in the family home. But this has been scrapped after it was found to contradict existing legislation made in 2010. It has left some parents forced to make a decision between keeping their child with a childminder related to them, or placing them with other childminders or nurseries in order to receive the funding. The Professional Association for Childcare and Early Years (Pacey) said the move was a \"backward step\" and was effectively moving children into the care of strangers. Claire Protheroe, from Pacey, said: \"If they could make a change it will open up further opportunities for childcare which will potentially be lost if childminders aren't able to access this funding.\" There are 2,000 childminders registered in Wales and Pacey has said a survey of its members found 12.5% of those delivering childcare have had issues caring for a relative who was not living with them, and 38% expected to provide childcare to a relative in the future. Joy Edwards, 59, from Blackwood, Caerphilly county, is a mother-of-three and grandmother-of-five. She was made redundant nine years ago and retrained as a childminder to help look after her grandchildren. She also looked after other children but, in December, she was told she could no longer be funded for looking after her grandchildren because the guidelines had changed. \"Suddenly they tell me I am not eligible any more,\" she said. \"Why am I not qualified to look after my grandchildren? One of the things I was told was my grandchildren should be moved somewhere where they are not happy and not used to, and they would be paid the £90 a week. \"I would then take two strangers into my home and Caerphilly pay me the £90.\" The Welsh Government said it was looking at the policy ahead of rolling it out across Wales by the end of 2020.

We were obviously very hopeful at Christmas [for her release] and it didn't happen. \"It's always good to hold on to the 'maybe', but also part of us putting in the submission now is because it feels like we're just being gamed.\" He added the family were \"waiting for the governments to deliver\" on Mrs Zaghari-Ratcliffe's release. He told the BBC he believes the charity worker is being used as a bargaining chip in political battles that have nothing to do with her. The 39-year-old was detained in Iran when visiting her parents with her daughter, Gabriella, who remains in the country. In December 2017 Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson travelled to Iran to call for the release of Mrs Zaghari-Ratcllife on humanitarian grounds. Mr Johnson had been criticised for comments he had made to a parliamentary committee in November. He told MPs that Mrs Zaghari-Ratcliffe had been training journalists in the country. He later apologised for the comments. Mr Ratcliffe said extra telephone privileges granted to Mrs Zaghari-Ratcliffe after the foreign secretary's visit have been cut back after demonstrations against the Iranian regime in London last month.

Several Conservative MPs spoke out against the three-tier restrictions scheme announced this week, but the House of Commons backed them. Health Secretary Matt Hancock said they were needed to help save lives. A group of backbench Conservatives forced a vote on a motion that could have gone through on the nod to register their disapproval over the curfew affecting pubs and restaurants in England. The vote was symbolic as the new alert system coming into force includes the curfew. Some 23 Labour MPs - including former leader Jeremy Corbyn - also voted against the government. Ten Liberal Democrat MPs, six DUP MPs and the only Green MP, Caroline Lucas, joined them. But they lost by 299 votes to 82 - a majority of 217. During the debate, Mr Hancock said the curfew was a \"matter of policy choice\", needed to restrict the number of cases and to keep schools and workplaces open. He added that there was \"direct and approximate evidence\" of it having a positive impact, citing a fall in alcohol-related A&E admissions late at night. Since pubs and restaurants have been forced to close earlier, many Tory backbenchers have queried whether the move is proportionate and whether it could lead to an increase antisocial behaviour, particularly with shops selling alcohol remaining open later. One Tory MP, Craig Mackinlay, argued that the curfew could actually harm public health. He said: \"Just considering this great city of London, the restaurants are closed, the pubs closed, there is no takeaway available at 10 o'clock and, guess what, the first train out of London, or the next Tube at 10 past 10, is going to be rocka-chocka solid, [with people] mixing and mingling... at close proximity.\" In other developments on Tuesday, Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer called for a two-to-three-week \"circuit-breaker\", involving tougher restrictions in England to cut the spread of coronavirus. And Conservative MP for Bolton West, Chris Green, resigned as a junior member of the government, warning of the prime minister's new restrictions system for England, that the \"attempted cure is worse than the disease\".

She has been seen as the most sympathetic of Charles Manson's followers. \"She's been ready for this for a long time,'' said her lawyer Rich Pfeiffer, after the parole board made its recommendation. \"It really should have happened a long time ago.\" Prosecutors at the time likened Manson to a cult leader and said he controlled his followers using drugs and other means.

He arrived back last November - just before the election - after 15 months away from home following what everyone here calls \"the back way\". It's the well-trodden migrant path to Europe through Senegal, Mali and Burkina Faso to Niger, and then north through Libya to the coast, to risk a Mediterranean crossing. Mr Ceesay, 26, got as far as Burkina Faso before he was captured by an organised crime syndicate. \"They said they would help me but they took everything I had - all my money and my things - and locked me up,\" he said. \"They threatened to kill me unless my family sent ransom money, but we have nothing. They held me for a month.\" Eventually they released him, and despite having lost all his money he kept going. He reached southern Libya, but with no job or chance of making the money needed to cross the Sahara or pay for passage across the Mediterranean, he gave up. The International Organisation for Migration (IOM) office in the migrant hub of Agadez in Niger, helped him return home to The Gambia. Mr Ceesay's family were initially disappointed he hadn't made it - they'd supported his plan to head to Europe and try to earn money to send home. Now Famara Njie from the IOM is helping him re-integrate through training to help improve his chances of getting a job. \"If you don't make your way to Europe and you come back empty-handed without any means to re-start your life, it makes things very, very difficult to re-integrate yourself back in the community,\" he said. It's known as \"irregular migration\" - most people leaving The Gambia are economic migrants, and for the size of the country there are a lot of them. There are less than two million Gambians, and by percentage of population more people head to Europe than any other nation. \"It is a growing problem, because we've seen people from all walks of life - policemen leaving their jobs, teachers leaving their jobs embarking on this way,\" said Mr Njie. \"Minors - those who should be in school to complete their basic education… we have seen them embarking on this journey, which is a really, really very troubling situation for the country.\" Across The Gambia thousands of people are leaving their homes. Less than an hour's drive from the capital, in the village of Kitty, many people have left using \"the back way\". People here are poor and it's strikingly clear whose relatives have made it to Europe, because they are building fantastic new homes. Money goes a long way here and so remittances are paying for gleaming tin roofs, houses with fancy pillars and large courtyards. There are satellite TV dishes attached to the walls and plots of land cleared and pegged out waiting for construction to begin. It's this obvious incentive which drives many people to risk everything. Migrants arriving in Italy and Greece (2016) Source: International Organization for Migration In a dusty clearing in central Banjul, amid the beautiful, orange, late afternoon light, the Red Scorpions are training. They're the country's top women's football team and many also play for the national side. Their goalkeeper, Fatim Jawara, 20, went missing last year, and then word came that she and her friend had drowned trying to cross the Mediterranean. \"She was so friendly, humble, always laughing - we were like twins,\" said her brother Momodou Jawara, 36, sitting with a photograph of her wearing her football strip. \"Thousands and thousands of people have gone - I wish I knew why. \"I don't have that kind of mentality, but what we believe is people always talk about greener pastures, wanting to be out doing something for their family as most of them complain about a lack of jobs.\" He thinks she might have gone to try and play football in Europe \"but I'm not in her mind, and I'm not sure what put her in it\". With the return of new President Adama Barrow, there are great expectations that life will improve after 22 years of Yahya Jammeh's rule. Under Mr Jammeh, human rights and freedom of speech were not respected. While this might change with a new government, it will be more difficult to raise living standards in what is one of the poorest countries in the world. \"It will take time. What kind of factories are we going to build, what kind of industry are we going to provide for the youths?\" asks Mr Jawara. A huge deposit of oil was recently found off the coast of neighbouring Senegal. It's believed that find may extend into Gambian territorial waters, which could provide a huge boost to the economy over the coming decades. The new president will serve just three years and is barred from standing in the next election, so it's hoped he can focus on laying foundations for the economy to improve. But people have high expectations, which will be hindered by the complexities of coalition politics. Seven different political parties joined forces, plucking Mr Barrow from relative obscurity to drive President Jammeh from power. The Red Scorpions have high hopes. \"This new government coming in will help the youths to have more job opportunities, schools will be available for them. I can see a bright future for the Gambian youth,\" said striker Adama Tamba, 18. \"This new government, it will help us a lot,\" agreed Fatou Fatty, 19, the captain of the national team. But there's a lot of work to do to prevent people being lured to take \"the back way\" to bring money home and lift their families out of poverty.",

His remarks will delight India, which has been lobbying for a seat at the UN's top table for years. Analysts say it does not mean India will get a permanent seat immediately; the unspecified UN reforms Mr Obama mentioned could take years. India's long-term rival Pakistan issued a quick response opposing the move, saying the US should not be swayed by \"power politics\". 'Brought to justice' Mr Obama said the Washington-Delhi relationship would be one of this century's defining partnerships. The loudest applause came when Mr Obama told dignitaries: \"As two global leaders, the United States and India can partner for global security - especially as India serves on the Security Council over the next two years. \"Indeed the just and sustainable international order that America seeks includes a United Nations that is efficient, effective, credible and legitimate. \"And that is why I can say today, in the years ahead, I look forward to a reformed United Nations Security Council that includes India as a permanent member.\" There are currently five permanent members of the Security Council: the US, China, France, the UK and Russia, which have the power to veto resolutions. Some nations have criticised the format as not reflecting the 21st century world. Pakistan's foreign ministry spokesman, Abdul Basit, said Mr Obama's move \"adds to the complexity of the process of reforms of the council\". \"Pakistan hopes that the US will take a moral view and not base itself on any temporary expediency or exigencies of power politics,\" he said. In his speech, Mr Obama had spoken about the threat of militancy from Pakistan. He said: \"We will continue to insist to Pakistan's leaders that terrorist safe havens within their borders are unacceptable, and that the terrorists behind the Mumbai attacks be brought to justice.\" At the weekend, Mr Obama visited a memorial to victims of the 2008 militant attacks in Mumbai (Bombay). The attacks, which began on 26 November that year and lasted nearly three days, left 174 people dead, including nine gunmen. White House officials revealed he had also briefed Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh about an American who has pleaded guilty in the US to laying the foundations of the attacks. Mr Singh was told that while the US intelligence community had information about David Headley's activity, it was not specifically connected to Mumbai. In his speech, Mr Obama also paid tribute to independence leader Mahatma Gandhi, saying: \"I am mindful that I might not be standing before you today, as president of the United States, had it not been for Gandhi.\" Mr Obama's trip ended with a lavish state dinner at the residence of Indian President Pratibha Patil in Delhi. Earlier, Mr Obama paid tribute to India as a world power, saying both countries would work together to promote stability and prosperity. \"As the world's two largest democracies, as large and growing free market economies, as diverse, multi-ethnic societies with strong traditions of pluralism and tolerance, we have not only an opportunity, but also a responsibility to lead.\" Mr Singh said Washington and Delhi had decided to \"accelerate the deepening of ties to work as equal partners in a strategic relationship\". Mr Obama has announced $10bn (£6.2bn) in new trade deals with India during his trip. However, he has also faced some protests. On Monday, about 250 survivors of the Bhopal gas leak in 1984 gathered close to India's parliament. They want Mr Obama to do more to extradite the former boss of the US company involved in the industrial disaster - the world's worst - and to increase compensation. About 4,000 people died at the time, and more than 10,000 more in the years that followed.

The fledgling surfers arrive at the seashore facing a range of challenges - from coping with the death of loved ones to dealing with autism or anxiety disorders. Brandon is 14 and has been referred by social services to help him settle into a home in foster care and a new class at school. He has had five sessions so far, learning to become familiar with his board, and how to paddle, pop-up and ride the waves. Each young person has a volunteer mentor who provides one-to-one support both in and out of the water. Brendon says his experiences at sea have made him more confident. \"Now I am more happy to make friends and I am not shy to let myself out there in the middle of the group instead of just standing back there in the shadows,\" he says. 'Strong link' The surf therapy is run by the Wave Project and is open to people aged between eight and 21 who have been referred by mental health, school or social services or bereavement charities. Joe Taylor, who runs the not-for-profit scheme, says: \"What is great is it doesn't feel like therapy for the young people but there are therapeutic principles behind it such as reducing anxiety, promoting confidence and well-being. \"It's the sense they have gone into a challenge that they did not necessarily believe they could do, discovered they could do it and that people were supporting them, making them feel more able to do all sorts of different things in their lives.\" And Melissa Scott, team leader of Bournemouth and Christchurch child and adolescent mental health services, says this scheme builds on the very strong link between mental and emotional wellbeing and physical activity. The Wave Project has run similar sessions on the Cornwall and Devon coasts for the past few years, part funded by the Cornwall and Isles of Scilly Primary Care Trust and with support from charities such as the Big Lottery Fund and BBC Children in Need. And two local doctors, Laura Bond and Sarah Colpus, who volunteer there, recently presented research on the project at the British Association of Sports and Exercise Medicine Conference. They looked at more than 100 questionnaires filled in by young people before and after the surfing course. 'New challenges' Taking into account feedback from parents and carers, they found the majority felt their confidence, self-esteem and wellbeing had improved after the course. And parents and people who referred the children said they seemed more engaged in school and had improved behaviour. Dr Bond said: \"Having volunteered with the Wave Project this year, we have seen first hand the really positive impact that the project has on young people who are referred to it. \"But now we have evidence to support the incredible feedback we have seen from clients and parents, so we hope that surfing will be taken more seriously as an intervention by medical professionals.\" Dr Jenny Lloyd, of the Exeter University Medical School, who researches child health and wellbeing, said: \"In terms of building children's confidence and self-esteem, this is a fantastic initiative. But we cannot say it has greater benefits or is more cost-effective than an activity other than surfing. \"This sort of research is not able to tell us that. If at the core it is group work, or learning new skills that are behind the improvements in wellbeing, there may be other activities which also fit the bill.\" But Brandon says is glad he had this opportunity He says: \"Starting new challenges like this helps me look forward to other challenges. I feel more focused and I'm not afraid to do something different. \"And I think after these few sessions I might just buy my own board and just get out there.\" Around the BBC BBC Children in Need Related Internet Links The Wave Project Dorset HealthCare British Association of Sports and Medicine",

The grey-headed flying fox, a large bat inhabiting the south-eastern forested regions of Australia, is one species which is being adversely affected. It is already listed as vulnerable on the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List of threatened species, and is especially susceptible to hotter conditions. The flying fox is a key species in the forest ecosystem of Australia, involved with seed dispersal and pollination of native tree species. Over three days in late December 2019, about 4,500 grey-headed flying foxes died in Yarra Bend Park in Victoria during the record-breaking temperatures that hit Australia that month. The animals respond to extreme heat by \"clumping\", trying to avoid the heat in the canopy branches by gathering together on the cooler shady side of trees. Unfortunately this behaviour causes excess body heat. The animals become too exhausted to move, they fall to the ground on top of each other and suffocate in a cascade effect. Park rangers collected more than 1,500 flying fox carcasses, estimated to be one-third that died in the three-day hot weather spike. So many carcasses were collected that the rangers ran out of bins and had to resort to using plastic bags. These were then scavenged by predators. This recent spike in temperature is estimated to have killed one-tenth of the local population of flying foxes and at least 50% have been infant animals, limiting the ability for the population to recover in the region. Though the Yarra Park region was not heavily affected by the recent bushfires, the flying foxes' other habitats along the east coast have been. The Australian authorities estimate that up to 30% of their habitat range has burnt, and it is unclear what all this means for the species in the long term.

It is calling on ministers to provide additional funding for older teenagers in education and to extend free childcare to more low income families. The government said it would take the recommendations seriously. The findings will come as a setback to Theresa May who promised to tackle the \"burning injustice\" of social inequality when she entered Downing Street in 2016. However, the following year, all of the commissioners on the Social Mobility Commission - set up in 2010 to monitor and promote social mobility - resigned, saying the government was too focused on Brexit to deal with creating a fairer Britain. 'A catch 22' Law graduate Paris McKenzie, 25, wants to be a solicitor but said there are not enough training contracts in her home city of Nottingham. \"I have barely come across any, and I constantly search for them. There are lots in London,\" she said. But the single mother said she did not \"have the means\" to move to the capital, where she said she would not have support and would struggle to pick up her son from nursery herself. \"It's a catch 22, my opportunities are very limited,\" she added. Dame Martina Milburn, who has since been appointed as the new chairwoman, said she sensed there was now \"a real commitment\" from the government. However, she said the biggest concern was not stagnation, but that the problem might actually get worse. \"There's still a big shift - if you want to be socially mobile - towards London,\" she told BBC Radio Four's Today programme. \"I think you're three times more likely to move to London if you're from a professional background than if you're from a working class background.\" Education Secretary Damian Hinds said he welcomed the \"thorough\" report - the first since the new commissioners were appointed - but stopped short of saying the government would adopt all of its recommendations. The report recommends: The report found those from better-off backgrounds were almost 80% more likely to be in a professional job than their working class peers. It said the proportion of people from professional backgrounds who were in professional jobs was 60% last year. In contrast, only 34% of those from working class backgrounds had professional jobs last year. And both figures had changed only slightly over the past four years. \"Being born privileged means you are likely to remain privileged,\" said Dame Martina, who is also chief executive of the Prince's Trust. \"But being born disadvantaged means you may have to overcome a series of barriers to ensure you and your children are not stuck in the same trap.\" The commission said it welcomed the findings showing that Scotland and Wales were becoming more socially mobile, with a person's socio-economic status less likely to be determined by their parents' socio-economic status than in 2014. It said this was especially encouraging in light of the limited social mobility in Britain as a whole. The Social Mobility Commission said an increasing number of students from low-income families were entering university by the age of 19. That proportion has now reached 26%, compared with 43% of better-off peers. But, five years after graduating, those graduates who had been on free school meals at school were in jobs that earned 11.5% less than other graduates, the report said. It found barriers to getting a top job were there from the start - about a half (52%) of disadvantaged teenagers leave school without basic qualifications and many get stuck in low-paid work. Adult education could help to redress that, said the report, but almost all forms of adult education have been in decline since 2010. There were also longer-term concerns that divisions could worsen as low-paid and low-skilled jobs were more likely to become automated in the future. Professor Diane Reay, from the University of Cambridge told BBC Radio 4's World at One: \"The expansion in the labour market is at the bottom - in the low-paid casualised jobs - rather than in the high-paid, more elite jobs. \"We need to radically change the hierarchical structure of English society, not just the social class of a few individuals.\" Paul Gregg, a professor of economic and social policy at the University of Bath, who resigned from the Social Mobility Commission in 2017, told the programme: \"It's still the case that Brexit is sucking all the political oxygen in government [from] any kind of social reforms.\" The education secretary said employment had risen in every UK region under this government; wages were outstripping inflation; the gap between disadvantaged pupils and their peers has narrowed; and the proportion of 16 and 17-year-olds in education or apprenticeships was at its highest ever. Easier for the better-off to grab opportunities Career progression and better-paid work is more likely if people move regions - particularly if they go to London, the data shows. Too often provincial towns and cities don't have the employment infrastructure to ensure career progression, notably in professions like law and accountancy. Those from wealthier backgrounds are more likely to be able to make that kind of move, with the resources and support to grab opportunities wherever they may be. Some believe devolving power and prestige to local government and combined authorities is the way to ensure a more even spread of growth and new jobs - and make the country less reliant on London. In England, the Northern Powerhouse and Midlands Engine are initiatives to achieve just that within the wider industrial strategy. But there are concerns that not enough resources are available to achieve significant structural change.",

We aren't actually told O'Toole's been sacked, but they haven't left much doubt. When the departing driver says he's \"clearing the way sought by our chairman and board\", it kind of implies that he was seen as a blockage. There's no new chief executive lined up, so this may have been done in something of a rush. Chairman Wolfhart Hauser steps up to an executive role (both driver and conductor?) while handing some of the chief executive's job to Matthew Gregory, the chief operating officer. In operations - if you cut out all the nasty stuff - the Aberdeen-based transport giant is turning a pre-tax profit of just under £200m. It is still trundling round its UK city bus routes, which saw a modest 1% increase in revenue last year. British trains are not much of a pleasure for anyone to be running these days. FirstGroup has the Great Western franchise, and last August, it took on South-Western trains, which helped boost its revenue by 13% to a total £6.4bn. After the Stagecoach/Virgin financial derailment on the East Coast line, the Aberdonians are now admitting that they overbid for TransPennine Express. This was in the hope that the UK government's rhetoric about a Northern Powerhouse would boost travel times and passenger numbers between northern English cities. That was under previous management in Downing Street. Now, in a bid to throw the kitchen sink at the annual accounts and citing \"onerous contractual provisions\", FirstGroup is rolling up all its future losses on TransPennine for the rest of the franchise, and writing off £106m. Hold the bus, Charlie Brown But the biggest financial pain is being felt in North America, where FirstGroup derives around 60% of its revenue. It is the biggest operator of yellow school buses, those classic symbols of the All-American childhood. That brought in £1.8bn in revenue in the year to March. But it's a tough business, and First Student has been trying to move up from the low margins on which it gained market share. The past year saw disruption due to severe weather, and rising costs due to driver shortages. First Transit provides other North American bus services and has revenue of nearly £1.1bn. One contract it recently lost is causing pain in that department, because it was a high-margin shuttle service for workers in the tar sand oil fields of Canada. FirstGroup's other icon of the Great American open road, the Greyhound coach, is limping badly. When the oil price tanked from 2014, it lost passengers. They got in their old gas-guzzling clunkers and drove the route themselves. Those gasoline prices are up again, but now the problem is low-fare airlines, which are growing aggressively in the US, and working new routes which compete directly with Greyhound. So FirstGroup is reducing the \"goodwill\" - that's the intangible value of the business and brand - by £277m. So there's another big blow to this year's results, taking the statutory pre-tax loss to £327m. When Wolfhart Hauser says the firm is \"examining all appropriate means\" (tell us about the inappropriate ones, Wolfie) to turn things round, Greyhound is getting \"a full external review of its business model and prospects\". That's usually code for a looming sale, or failing that, a swingeing cut to its route map. It begins to have the feel of that closing scene in John Schlesinger's film Midnight Cowboy, with Dustin Hoffman's character Ratzo Rizzo dying in the back of a Greyhound bus from New York to Miami.",

            "input": "By Theo LeggettBusiness correspondent, BBC News Putting on a virtual reality headset, obscuring the view of the road altogether, might seem even crazier. But that's exactly what I did recently. To start with, I was looking at a computer simulation of the motorway in front of me. Then the road disappeared altogether, the car took off, and I began flying through an alien landscape. This was the rather unsettling gimmick chosen by Renault to illustrate the potential of its new self-driving concept car, the Symbioz. The idea is that if you're not driving, you can turn your mind, and eyes, to other things. But will we ever be able to trust driverless technology enough to do that, and would we be right to do so? My experience in the Symbioz - a car designed for fully hands-off driving - hardly filled me with confidence. The hi-tech sensors fogged up, the system stopped working, and a safety driver - usefully equipped with dual controls - had to take over. To be fair, this was a prototype, and Renault admits it will be years before systems like this are ready to go onto the market. But while there's no doubt that fully autonomous self-driving cars are on their way, there are concerns that many of us may confuse assisted driving technologies - cruise control, lane keeping, automatic braking, collision avoidance systems and so on - with full autonomy. And this could make us dangerously complacent. Matthew Avery is a director of Thatcham Research, which tests new vehicles on behalf of the insurance industry. He says it is vital drivers know what they're dealing with - and that a clear distinction is drawn between \"hands-on\" and \"hands-off\" set-ups. \"The systems we have got today are assisted-driver systems,\" he says. \"They are there to support the driver. But there is a risk that drivers become accustomed to them, and maybe think they're automated when they're not. \"There are really two levels. Either you're assisted in your driving, but you're still in the loop, or it's automated driving, where the driver can even get in the back and read a book or go to sleep. \"We want cars to make that very, very clear.\" More Technology of Business Tesla's Autopilot system does many of the things you'd expect of a fully autonomous machine. It can brake, accelerate and steer by itself under certain conditions. Other companies like Volvo and Mercedes have similar mechanisms on some models. And Audi's new A8 enables completely hands-off driving in certain very specific circumstances. But crucially, these cars are not designed to be left to their own devices. The driver is meant to be alert and able to take over at any moment, and for good reason. In 2016, a Tesla owner was killed when his car failed to spot a lorry crossing its path. The US National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) found that Tesla's Autopilot system was partly to blame. In 37 minutes of driving, the driver had his hands on the wheel for just 25 seconds, the NTSB found. Since the accident, Tesla has introduced new safeguards, including turning off Autopilot and bringing the car to a halt if the driver lets go of the wheel for too long. Cars like Renault's Symbioz will probably be similar to conventional cars, but equipped with a system that acts like an advanced form of cruise control. Drivers will be able to use it on major motorways and over long distances, turning it on and off at will. Meanwhile companies like Google's sister firm Waymo and ride-hailing firms Uber and Lyft, are developing driverless taxis as well. Remote control But handing increasing amounts of control to computers comes with other risks, too, not least of which is the danger of being targeted by hackers. Increasingly, modern cars come with internet connections, to help operate entertainment and navigation systems, or to allow them to be unlocked and started remotely using a phone. That makes them vulnerable. In 2015, for example, security researchers Chris Valasek and Charlie Miller made headlines when they showed how they could hack into a car remotely - and take control of key functions, including the brakes and the steering. \"If the car is connected, hackers can use that connection to remotely break in and take control of the vehicle,\" says Kathleen Fisher, computer security professor at Tufts University, Massachusetts, and a former programme manager at the US defence research agency Darpa. She believes companies simply don't have enough economic incentives to make their products hacker-proof. \"Even if one car company was really motivated to make their cars as secure as technology knows how to do, the problem is that costs money,\" she says. Top-notch security is not necessarily a selling point, she believes, and advertising it may simply make customers more worried. It might also act as a challenge to would-be hackers. But Chris Valasek, who now works for General Motors' self-driving cars division Cruise, thinks the potential benefits of driverless cars outweigh the risks. \"They can't drive drunk, they can't drive tired, and they don't look at Twitter on their phone while they drive,\" he says. \"So while there's the risk that someone could hack them, at the same time millions of people are going to be exponentially safer with this type of technology.\" And safety is the overriding benefit, experts say. \"More than 90% of the accidents that you see today are caused, one way or another, by human error,\" says mobility consultant Sven Beiker, a former head of Stanford University's Center for Automotive Research. \"On a global basis, that's about 1.2 million people who die in traffic accidents. That's motivation enough.\" So it does look as though cars are going to become more and more automated over the next few years. When it comes to driving, it seems, human beings just aren't good enough.",

The protests followed comments from the head of the Georgian Orthodox Church. Patriarch Ilia II had urged the authorities not to allow the gay pride rally to go ahead, saying it was a \"violation of the majority's rights\" and \"an insult\" to the Georgian nation. He described homosexuality as a disease and compared it to drug addiction. The BBC's Damien McGuinness in Tbilisi says the Patriarch is by far the most respected public figure in Georgia, with approval ratings consistently at around 90%.

Dean Bird wants to be able to have a funeral for his \"amazing\" little girl - but he does not have the necessary parental responsibility because his name is not on the birth certificate. \"The hardest part is knowing she is still in a freezer after all this time,\" he said. Mr Bird, 30, last saw his daughter months before her death. He said he met Eve for the first time when she was three months old because he had split up with her mother, Abigail Leatherland, just before she was born. They got back together and he lived with Eve for about seven months before he and her mother broke up again. Mr Bird, from Mansfield Woodhouse in Nottinghamshire, said he saw Eve for about two months after that, before Leatherland - who was jailed for three-and-a-half years on Friday for causing or allowing Eve's death - disappeared with his daughter. \"My mate told me Abby had moved to Cornwall but I said 'she can't have done, she has probably gone on holiday and not told me'. I was having Eve once a week, so I thought she had gone and she would be back. \"I tried messaging her, I tried ringing her but I couldn't get in touch and because I wasn't on the birth certificate, I had no rights to go to solicitors to try to find where they were.\" Mr Bird said he assumed Leatherland's move to Cornwall was temporary and she would be back in a couple of weeks. Seven months later, the police arrived at his house to tell him his daughter was dead. Initially officers thought Eve had died from a viral infection but as their investigation progressed Mr Bird found out about the abuse she had suffered. \"I dream about it a lot,\" he said. \"The coppers told me what had happened but they didn't tell me how, so all day every day I am sat thinking... 'how has this happened'?\" Mr Bird said he felt relieved when the police charged his former partner and her boyfriend, Thomas Curd, with whom she had been living in Liskeard, Cornwall, at the time. \"I wanted answers there and then,\" he said. \"I wanted to know what had happened, how it had happened. I didn't want to keep thinking all of these things.\" Mr Bird, who previously owned a tattoo shop, drove the 600-mile round trip from his home to Cornwall almost daily throughout the three-week trial to hear the gruesome details of what happened to Eve. Jurors at Truro Crown Court were told how tests had revealed the toddler had suffered multiple skull and rib fractures, a ruptured liver and numerous other injuries. She had also been given a dose of the opiate codeine that would have been fatal to an adult. On Thursday, Curd was found guilty of her murder and jailed the following day for a minimum of 20 years. Mr Bird's case is complicated because he is not named on the birth certificate and therefore had no legal rights when she died. A mother automatically has parental responsibility for her children. A father usually has parental responsibility if he is either married to the child's mother, or listed on the birth certificate. Jurors in the trial heard Mr Bird was Eve's biological father and he has asked for a DNA test to be carried out to prove this definitively, although so far this has not happened. He said it would be \"morally wrong\" if Leatherland was allowed to have a funeral for Eve and said he would now take his battle to the civil courts for the right to bury her. \"I can't do anything else for Eve now apart from get justice for her,\" he said. \"Knowing you could not protect your daughter, that's the hardest thing.\" Dr Brian Sloan, law lecturer at Cambridge University's Robinson College, described the case as \"unusual\". He said Mr Bird would probably need to obtain a \"parental responsibility order\" for Eve, although it was not clear that a court would make such an order now she had died. Mr Bird might have to rely on his status as a father without parental responsibility, which could make things difficult, Dr Sloan said. \"Parental responsibility is essentially the ability to take decisions about a child's upbringing, and is thought to include arranging the funeral,\" Dr Sloan said. \"This case is a good illustration of the discrimination faced by fathers not married to the mothers of their children.\" Dr Sloan added that given Leatherland had been found guilty of being culpable in her daughter's death, he would \"generally expect\" the courts to give more weight to Mr Bird's views. When a person dies in unexplained circumstances, a coroner might decide a post-mortem examination is needed and will not release the body for a funeral until that examination has been completed and it has been agreed no further tests are needed. In Eve's case tissue samples had to be analysed by different experts, delaying the process for many months. Her father said he had struggled with his mental health since Eve died and often blamed himself for what had happened, feeling he \"could have done more\". Mr Bird, who has five children, said when his youngest son was born to his current partner in July he was investigated by social services, who were worried that he had played a part in Eve's death. \"I don't know if it is the tattoos on my face, I don't know if it is to do with that... they just seem to be coming at me at all angles,\" he said.

It is an even greater challenge when even some people within the Treasury believe housing announcements affect \"England and Wales\". In case you were wondering, the ban on letting agency fees applies to England alone - the Scots have already introduced a ban, the Welsh Government is less keen. So here are a few instant Welsh angles I noticed from Philip Hammond's first major Treasury event. 'Warm words' He told MPs there would be an extra £400m for the Welsh Government as a result of higher spending in England - a \"significant increase\" in the chancellor's words. What he didn't say in the statement was that the money would be allocated over five years. (Welsh Government spending in that period will be around £60bn and ministers in Cardiff will point out it has been cut in real terms). As expected, he offered \"warm words\" on city region growth deals with Swansea and North Wales. He didn't mention the proposed Swansea Bay tidal lagoon project (I suspected he might not), although I'm told we shouldn't read too much into that either way. 'Timetable' Philip Hammond is a chancellor prepared to allow individual projects to progress at their own pace rather than deliver them to a timetable that fits in with parliamentary and news management. Treasury Minister Jane Ellison told me the project wasn't included in the Autumn Statement because the Hendry Review has not yet concluded. The Office for Budget Responsibility has also downgraded its forecast of Welsh tax takes ahead of the Welsh Government getting control over some tax revenues. It is easy, perhaps too easy, to report these UK-wide events in terms of what they mean for government-to-government dealings, if you're on the \"national living wage\" or universal credit changes in those areas will probably make more difference to your daily life than cash for devolved governments. And although the Autumn Statement is not a Christmas tree, Mr Hammond did unwrap a present for Cardiff in the shape of financial help to relocate a museum of military medicine to a disused station building in the city.",

Both fossils were unearthed in Somerset in the 1800s. One specimen has been on display at Bristol University for decades, under the gaze of countless students. The other was donated to a museum in Philadelphia, US, by Thomas Hawkins, a well-known Victorian fossil collector. He amassed a huge collection of marine reptiles from Somerset in the first half of the 19th Century. Such was the Victorian craze for skeletons of ichythyosaurs - the first was found by Mary Anning on the Dorset coast - that they ended up in museums and collections right across the world. Palaeontologists Dean Lomax of Manchester University and Judy Massare of Brockport College, New York, examined hundreds of ichthyosaur fossils in Europe and North America, including some that had been kept hidden for decades. ''These are two new species - brand new species to science,'' Dean Lomax told BBC News. ''They show that during the early Jurassic - around 200 million years ago - the ichythyosaur, and specifically this particular type, was a lot more diverse than previously thought.'' Ichthyosaurs were fierce predators, growing up to 15m in length. The dolphin-shaped creatures patrolled the seas at a time when the UK was a series of small islands. They were among the first skeletons to be discovered by early British fossil-hunters, at a time when theories of evolution and concepts of geology were in their infancy. The reptile fossils were categorised as new species on the basis of distinctive features of their skull and other bones. One of the new species was identified from a complete skeleton of an ichthyosaur that has been on display at the University of Bristol for more than 30 years. The other - originally found in a quarry in Glastonbury - was donated to Philadelphia's Academy of Natural Sciences in 1847. The specimen had been in storage, and few people even knew of its existence. ''It's been hidden away behind the scenes for such a long time,'' said Dean Lomax. ''It was quite amazing when Judy Massare and myself examined the specimen and then found that it was a practically complete skeleton and in my personal opinion the best example ever of the ichthyosaur genus to be collected and studied.'' The Philadelphia specimen has been named Ichthyosaurus somersetensis, in honour of the county where so many specimens have been dug up or found in quarries. The Bristol University fossil has been called Ichthyosaurus larkini, in honour of British palaeontologist Nigel Larkin, whose whose family has lived in the Bristol area for centuries. A scholarly paper describing the research is published in the journal Papers in Palaeontology. Follow Helen on Twitter @hbriggs.",

The children involved were at \"huge risk of harm\", the NSPCC said. It is calling for the government to include more protections for children in the Domestic Abuse Bill. The Home Office said children would benefit from \"a number of measures\" in the bill, which is currently making its way through Parliament. The BBC spoke to one support worker who said she had met a six-year-old boy who slept wearing shoes so he would be ready to run away from his abusive father. \"He was living with violence. If the attacks were on [his] mum, he'd be the one that would run for help,\" said Lisa Briard, who works at Leapfrog, which supports children and their mothers in Wirral. \"He was on high alert. If there was a little bang in the room he'd jump, he'd keep an eye out. He never really relaxed.\" It took six weeks of visiting Leapfrog before he would take his shoes and coat off, Ms Briard said. \"That was a big achievement for him,\" she added. Figures shown to the BBC by the NSPCC suggest more than half (57%) of calls to its helpline about children witnessing serious domestic abuse are referred to local authorities. But children's services do not currently have a legal obligation to provide support in many circumstances. Alice's story: 'I felt like a possession' When Alice - who is not using her real name - met her husband abroad it was, she now says, like a \"fairytale\". \"We were friends, we fell in love. It was a true love story,\" she says. After 18 months together, the couple moved to the UK and had a daughter. Then things changed. \"I felt like a possession. He would pay for everything, he would do all the accounts and give me a set amount [of money] at the end of the month,\" she recalls. \"Over time I just felt like my personality was being stamped out.\" Alice tried to shield her daughter from the abuse, but it still had an impact on her behaviour. Alice says: \"She went from having a sweet, kind little personality to being a bit rebellious and she knew she could play the two parents off one another. Unfortunately that doesn't make for a very nice child.\" Both Alice and her daughter have now received therapy. \"The difference is amazing, it's like night and day. It's wonderful seeing her blossom and learning about her feelings,\" Alice says. Emily Hilton, from the NSPCC, said the Domestic Abuse Bill currently fails to explicitly recognise children who witness domestic abuse as victims. The charity is urging the government to include a statutory duty on local authorities to provide community-based specialist services. \"The bill in its current form fails to protect children from the devastating impact of living with domestic abuse, leaving thousands at continued risk because the help they deserve is not in place,\" said Ms Hilton. She added that the government was \"missing a landmark opportunity to transform the way we help young people recover from the trauma of abuse\". The Home Office said it \"fully recognises\" the \"devastating impact domestic abuse has on children and young people\". \"Children will benefit from a number of measures included in the Domestic Abuse Bill and the designated Domestic Abuse Commissioner has been appointed to encourage good practice in, amongst other things, the provision of protection and support for children affected by domestic abuse,\" it added.",

Benefits charity Advice NI says this shows the system is not fit for purpose. More than 125,000 people claim disability benefits in Northern Ireland. About 100,000 of them have been reassessed in the new Personal Independence Payment (PIP) system. A quarter have lost their benefits altogether, although the number receiving the highest rate of £145 a week has increased. 'Scared the living daylights' Margaret McCully lives in east Belfast and has been receiving disability living allowance (DLA) for 15 years. The 55-year-old suffers from severe depression and Fybromyalgia, a debilitating muscle condition. She is among the last 20,000 people to be reassessed in a process which will end next spring. She told BBC News NI that when she received the letter to say she would be reassessed, \"it scared the living daylights out of me\". \"Then the [40-page] form arrived and I thought there's no way I could fill this in.\" Although she previously lived a full life, Margaret's condition has impacted severely on her physical and emotional wellbeing. \"Basically, every joint in your body hurts and there are days you can't get out of bed. I'd love to be able to do the things I used to, like swimming. \"I'd love to look after my grandchildren, but I can't. Losing my benefits would mean losing my independence.\" 'Raised the bar' George Doherty, the office manager at one of Margaret's MLA's constituency offices, said the workload over the past few months had increased dramatically. \"We have people coming through the door and they're absolutely petrified about the 40-page form they have to complete and they don't know where to start. \"They come in distressed and it's only the start of a long drawn out process.\" He said the fundamental problem was a change in the criteria. \"DfC has raised the bar,\" he said. \"No one is saying their conditions have got better, it seems to me people are finding it more difficult to fulfil the criteria than they did before. \"People are worried about putting food on the table and paying their rent and it's putting them under an enormous amount of mental stress.\" The Department for Communities has defended the new system. It said the most recently published information showed 76% of people being assessed from DLA to PIP had been awarded the benefit, and more people were being awarded PIP at the highest rate of benefit than under DLA. Kevin Higgins from Advice NI said: \"Every day we get calls from people who are deeply worried and concerned about their DLA and moving to PIP. We are starting to wonder if the department is listening. \"The Department for Communities is responsible for delivering social security in Northern Ireland. They're also responsible for tackling poverty and heading up on poverty.\" Meanwhile, Margaret is concerned about the future. \"I'm worried I'm going to end up homeless and on the streets,\" she said. \"I already pay a shortfall in my rent and my landlord is talking about putting up the rent. \"If I lose my benefits and can't pay my rent, and I have nowhere to go.\"",

            "input": "By Will GrantBBC News, Michoacan, Mexico Vigilante groups armed with high-powered weapons of questionable origin have pushed out a powerful drug cartel, the Knights Templar, from some of their key footholds in a region called Tierra Caliente. As the retreating drug cartel members fled towards the town of Apatzingan, they burned lorries and set up roadblocks along the main highway. Meanwhile the army, sent in to restore order and disarm the self-defence forces in the town of Antunez, opened fire, killing at least two villagers. There have also been repeated arson attacks in Apatzingan, presumably by drug gang members, right under the noses of the scores of military personnel and federal police patrolling the city. 'Poor administration' \"This is a failed state,\" says Comandante Cinco, a self-defence leader in the village of Paracuaro. He says the community militias emerged because people were tired of paying extortion money to the drug cartels while local police did nothing to protect them. Worse still, many officers were in the pay of the cartel. The streets of Paracuaro are now firmly in the vigilantes' hands. Young men who until recently picked lemons and avocados for a living are getting acquainted with their new handguns and automatic rifles. The entire village has turned out in the main square to hear the self-defence forces explain their plan for the future now that the cartel have been run out of town. Some townsfolk are fearful of simply replacing one group of unknown armed men with another. Other people are holding up placards thanking the self-defence forces for taking on the Knights Templar. On stage, Comandante Cinco gets straight to the point: \"The self-defence forces are not paramilitaries,\" he shouts to applause from the crowd. \"You are all self-defence members too!\" Optimistic But while the vigilantes undoubtedly enjoy public support in the region of Tierra Caliente for the time being, the question now is whether they will be prepared to give up their weapons when the time comes. Comandante Cinco insists that will happen sooner rather than later. \"At the rate we're going, I think that in two months we will have cleared the state of Knights Templar and we'll all go home.\" \"We've only been here for ten days and already people feel free, businesses are returning to normal. In two months, the state of Michoacan will be clean.\" For most, though, that is an optimistic estimate. 'Compromised' In Apatzingan most shops are staying closed until the tension eases a little. The economy in the town, as well as elsewhere in Michoacan, is taking a battering. Meanwhile the church now has entered the fray. The Bishop of Apatzingan, Miguel Patino, has also previously described the state as failed. Now he has published an open letter criticising the government's response to the crisis. \"The problem we have is that often we can't find any guarantee of security among our local authorities because they are compromised by the enemies of peace,\" the bishop told the BBC in the cathedral in Apatzingan. \"That's a serious problem because who can we turn to?\" On Wednesday, the Mexican government appointed a new security chief for the state, Alfredo Castillo, tasked with the unenviable mission of restoring stability. The government of President Enrique Pena Nieto has repeatedly denied that it has lost its grip on Michoacan despite several troop surges in the state in the year since he came to office. Speaking to the BBC shortly before the latest crisis unfolded, the head of the federal police, Francisco Galindo Ceballos, rejected the bishop's description of the western state as \"failed\". \"The government of Michoacan is in place. It's stable. It's governing. The municipal governments and the mayors are working too. \"So I don't share this point of view that the state has been lost.\" His opinion is unlikely to have changed much since this latest push by the self-defence forces, as the Pena Nieto administration is trying to show a united front on what is a highly complex situation. For most citizens caught in the stand-off, the question of whether or not the state has failed is perhaps academic. Certainly, they see it as failing. In his open letter, the Bishop of Apatzingan asked rhetorically: \"Can't [the army and the government] see we're in a state of need?\" Whether he meant in need of security, in need of peace or in need of a respite from the fighting, most of his parishioners would agree.",

However, it doesn't seem hard to find a Chinese journalist who, for example, on the one opportunity each year to face Foreign Minister Wang Yi doesn't want to know about Syria, North Korea, a potential trade war, the South China Sea and the like. What they do want to know is… People's Daily: \"Thank you moderator, Foreign Minister, hello. Since the 18th Party Congress, China's diplomatic work has made unprecedented important achievements and has won unanimous praise from Chinese people. We know that 2018 was the first year after the 19th Party Congress. What have been the highlights of China's diplomacy this year? Can you tell us about it? Thank you.\" Foreign Minister Wang Yi: \"Since the 18th Party Congress, under the correct leadership of the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core, we have indeed emerged on a road to great power diplomacy with Chinese characteristics, Chinese style… \" Here's another punchy offering from Beijing TV to the foreign minister: Beijing TV: \"Hello, Foreign Minister. A few days ago, Premier Li Keqiang pointed out in his government work report that this year marks the beginning of the full implementation of the spirit of the 19th Party Congress. This is the 40th anniversary of reform and opening up. It is a crucial year to realize a moderately prosperous society and the implementation of the 13th Five-Year Plan. You have repeatedly emphasized that serving the development of the country has always been the central task of China's diplomacy. I would like to know more about what measures the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will take this year. Thank you.\" Foreign Minister Wang Yi: \"China is still a developing country and promoting domestic development is part great power diplomacy with Chinese characteristics. In the face of a new historical mission… etc\" In another press conference on the sidelines of the Congress, Zhang Huijun, a journalist from American Multimedia TV - which says it has a strong relationship with China Central Television - asked the chairman of the state-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission in her most perky and enthusiastic voice, \"China has more and more state own assets abroad following the Belt and Road initiative. How can we protect them?\" It was too much for a reporter from financial news service Yicai who, standing next to her, could be seen rolling her eyes at what a, well, sycophantic offering this was. The eye-rolling journalist, Liang Xiangyi, was seen on television and filmed on various people's phones. Her facial expressions are now going viral. Within hours people were dressing in red and blue, filming themselves imitating the two women. Liang Xiangyi's expressions have even been turned into a series of gifs, but posts on social media platforms using her name in Chinese are already being censored. You also have to wonder whether this reporter, who couldn't control her natural reaction, might now be punished. In other countries this might be just funny. Not here. This is exactly the type of meltdown the Communist Party doesn't want to have because it shows what a farce the Congress press conferences can be. Many will say it's the Party's own fault for stacking these events with ever more gushing questioners who even sound hilarious to Chinese ears which have taken in this stuff for decades. And, if things can spin out of control with the local media, imagine the concern when foreign correspondents are getting involved. Sometimes a government official, perhaps from the Foreign Ministry, will contact major international news organisations and ask them if they would like to \"have a question\" at a news conference. Readers might wonder why Communist Party officials bother with all the hassle of tying to manage an unpredictable foreign press corps. Why not just stop us all going in and let the local press - under Party control - ask the desired questions? The answer: because they want us there. They want the foreign media in the room to show a domestic audience how internationally significant the National People's Congress is. All the Congress media events are controlled to some extent but none more so than the premier's which takes place on the last day. As foreign correspondents arrive some are urged to sit down the front, although they have no hope whatsoever of being called on. This is so that Chinese television can show their faces, show their hands up, show them taking down on their notepads the profound offerings of China's leadership. At the beginning of this Congress, Chris Buckley from the New York Times took to Twitter to urge his fellow correspondents not allow themselves to be used as tools of propaganda. He posted on Twitter: \"My prayer for this NPC: Please reporters stop the game of negotiating to ask tame questions... a charade of accountability will do nobody any good and does us discredit.\" To participate or not? The extent to which we should participate is the subject of considerable debate amongst foreign correspondents based here. Some argue we should not attend at all and just report events from afar. Others say it's worth submitting questions and asking them in order to try and make the best out of a deeply flawed situation. The BBC, for example, has decided not submit questions for screening. This means we don't get called on. In other countries reporters would just shout out the questions anyway and perhaps that is what we should all consider doing. On the other hand, if you would like to know how Chinese officials would prefer to see the Congress covered then here is a little taste . The article below is about the constitutional change paving the way for President Xi Jinping - and all other future presidents - to remain in power beyond a two-term limit, potentially for as long as they desire. There has been no national debate about this enormous change to the way 1.5 billion people are to be ruled. It has been barely mentioned in state media. See if you can find a meaningful reference to it in an article from the Party's official Xinhua newswire. The NPC finishes on 20 March, with an even more empowered President Xi Jinping \"as the core\". Keep an eye out for the final press conference with Premier Li Keqiang. It is possible that not a single reporter will be able ask why it has been so necessary to dispense with two-term presidential limits (one of this country's only checks on power introduced to prevent the emergence of another Chairman Mao) so as to allow Xi Jinping to rule China for the rest of his life. One of the most significant changes to the way China is ruled in decades, at this Congress, and potentially not one decent question to the premier about it? We'll see. Let's hope there is one.",

            "input": "If you were born in rural England in 1837 and never travelled more than a few miles from your home, you would have been surprisingly likely to see a hippopotamus before you died. The reign of Queen Victoria saw a surge in the construction of all manner of places where exotic animals could be viewed. And as well as formal, educational settings - private and public zoos, natural history museums - the period brought animals for entertainment to the masses. Travelling menageries would tour towns and cities, featuring performers and their animals. Or, if you were sufficiently interested (and wealthy), you could simply buy your own tiger or boa constrictor in a shop. Most exotic pet shops were in London - by 1895 there were 118 wild animal dealers in London alone - but there were also shops in Liverpool, Bath and Bristol. People could walk into a shop and purchase anything, from an elephant to a bear to a kangaroo. And the greater politics of the British Empire drove this burgeoning industry into the rest of Europe. Before the Suez Canal was built, for example, almost every ship coming from Asia or Africa touched land first in England. After it was built, Germany steadily overtook the UK in \"the scramble for elephants\". One incident in particular became something of a legend in Victorian England. In 1857, a tiger escaped in the East End of London and prowled down St George's Street, picking up a small boy named John Wade as it went. It was not even the first time that a tiger had been loose in that very street - one had escaped from a travelling menagerie some years earlier. This tiger was being delivered to a shop owned by Charles Jamrach who was, at that time, the pre-eminent wild animal dealer in the world. He had a network of agents all over the globe. Jamrach stocked all manner of exotic beasts - elephants, lions, tigers, bears, tapirs, armadillos - pretty much anything. And he claimed to be able to get his clients any animal they wanted through his network of agents. On at least one occasion he sourced a rhinoceros. Contemporary accounts of his premises also speak of thousands of parrots and exotic birds packed so tightly together in cages that they couldn't move. But this particular tiger, it seems, was not content to be put on display. As it was being delivered, it put its feet against one side of the all too flimsy wooden crate in which it was being transported, and its back feet against another side. Pushing with all its strength, it managed to burst out and make off down a busy London street. Not willing to lose his quarry, Jamrach set off after the tiger. In an extraordinarily incongruous street scene, he grabbed the tiger by the throat. His account of the event, entitled My Struggle with a Tiger was published in the Boy's Own Paper - an illustrated magazine, which carried a mixture of factual and fictional stories - in February 1879. In it he describes what happened next: \"My men had been seized with the same panic as the bystanders, but now I discovered one lurking round a corner, so I shouted to him to come with a crowbar - he fetched one and hit the tiger three tremendous blows over the eyes. \"It was only now he released the boy. His jaws opened and his tongue protruded about seven inches. I thought the brute was dead or dying, and let go of him, but no sooner had I done so than he jumped up again. \"In the same moment I seized the crowbar myself and gave him, with all the strength I had left, a blow over the head. He seemed to be quite cowed, and turning tail, went back towards the stables, which fortunately were open. \"I drove him into the yard and, and closed the doors at once. Looking round for my tiger, I found that he had sneaked into a large empty den that stood open at the bottom of the yard. \"Two of my men who had jumped onto an elephant's box, now descended and pushed down the iron-barred siding of the door; and so my tiger was safe again under lock and key.\" In spite of saving young Wade, Jamrach was sued for damages by the boy's father and had to pay £300 pounds - equivalent to more than £30,000 today. But he had one other consolation - he sold the animal to Wombwell's menagerie for the the same amount where it was exhibited as \"The Tiger that Swallowed the Boy\". In 1857, England was in the grip of a panic caused by the Indian Mutiny and so a tiger - the symbol of India - was an especially frightening thing, especially when it was loose in the heart of the Empire's capital. One contemporary newspaper account linked the event explicitly to what was going on in India. The event is also memorialised in a strange sculpture placed in the defunct shopping centre at Tobacco Dock. England was a clearing house for the animals of the world and they poured in by the thousand - both alive and dead. The trade in these wild animals was unregulated - there was only the most rudimentary consciousness about the idea of endangered species. The very first animal welfare laws had been passed by this time and, although there were concerns about the extent of the fur trade and the conditions suffered by animals undergoing live export for slaughter, there was not the systematic legislation there is today nor any international framework to protect wild animals. Demand was high, and it persisted at the end of Queen Victoria's reign. One Indian based taxidermy company, Van Ingen & Van Ingen, stuffed roughly 43,000 tigers and leopards between 1900 and about 1950 to supply the European and Indian demand for trophies. They moved from fair to fair with the travelling menageries, they underpinned new scientific research and they sat glumly in architect-designed cages in the grounds of the most fashionable country houses. The capture, trade and display of exotic animals was one of the many ways in which the British Empire made its influence felt.

It follows similar attacks on two exchanges that trade in bitcoins earlier in the week. Silk Road 2 is known for selling drugs and other illegal items. The site is only accessible through Tor, a network that allows users to browse anonymously online. The virtual currency Bitcoin is often used in transactions as it also grants users a degree of anonymity. The original Silk Road site was shut down by the FBI in 2013 but those behind it said they would start a new site and shortly afterwards Silk Road 2 appeared online. Completely empty In a statement posted on Silk Road 2 forums, the administrator of the site, known as Defcon, said: \"We have been hacked.\" \"Nobody is in danger, no information has been leaked, and server access was never obtained by the attacker. \"Our initial investigations indicate that a vendor exploited a recently discovered vulnerability in the Bitcoin protocol known as \"transaction malleability\" to repeatedly withdraw coins from our system until it was completely empty,\" he said. Transaction malleability involves someone changing the cryptographic code - known as a transaction hash - used to create an ID for the exchange of funds before it is recorded in the blockchain - a database of every transaction carried out in the currency. This method can result in the system thinking a transaction has not been carried out when it has and therefore repeatedly paying out bitcoins. The two exchanges hit by attacks earlier in the week, MtGox and Bitstamp, had suspended transactions to prevent it happening again. Defcon admitted that Silk Road 2 should have done the same. Run with gold \"I should have taken MtGox and Bitstamp's lead and disabled withdrawals as soon as the malleability issue was reported. I was slow to respond and too sceptical of the possible issue at hand,\" he said in the forum posting. In an article for CoinDesk, a news site for digital currency, Danny Bradbury an expert on Silk Road, said that bitcoin-based sites should put \"bitcoins under management in cold storage (ie stored offline) so that they could not be stolen by online attackers.\" Defcon said that all its customers' bitcoins were being stored online because of planned relaunches of some of the site's features. \"In retrospect this was incredibly foolish, and I take full responsibility for this decision.\" Despite Defcon denying that he had \"run with the gold\", several Silk Road 2 users questioned whether the operators of the site were involved or covering for people involved. \"Does that even sound plausible? Or does it make more sense that they were waiting for the right moment... so that they could retire comfortably,\" wrote aqualung. \"Imagine you run this site, you see a huge amount of money sitting right there, and you know that you can take all of it and easily blame it on a hacker,\" wrote cubensis. The site said as a result of the attack it would no longer host \"escrow wallets\" - an account where bitcoins are held until goods ordered are delivered. The chief executive of the company that runs the MtGox bitcoin exchange was confronted by an angry customer at the company's headquarters in Tokyo this week. Kolin Buges, a bitcoin trader from London, said he had travelled to Japan as he was unhappy at MtGox's explanation for its recent problems on the site which prevented customers from making withdrawals. He had 250 bitcoins, worth $155,000 in his MtGox account. \"I want to get my bitcoin back, or get MtGox to bring back public confidence that the company is solvent and people's money [is] safe,\" Mr Buges told the Wall Street Journal. One bitcoin is currently trading for around $620, significantly lower than the $830 level it was at before news of the various attacks broke.",

He thinks that if all music is on streaming sites, fans are more likely to go to a gig and buy merchandise. The Official Charts Company has announced that music streams will be combined with physical sales and downloads from 6 July. Both Coldplay and the Black Keys recently refused to allow their albums, Ghost Stories and Turn Blue, on to legal streaming sites like Spotify. Spotify explained to their subscribers that, \"the artist or their representatives have decided not to release this album on Spotify. We are working on it and hope they will change their mind soon\". One hundred streams will count as equivalent to one single (download or physical single) in the new look chart. The Official Charts Company says it has agreements with streaming services including Spotify, Deezer and Napster. Data collected by the Official Charts Company has found an increase in the number of people using streaming services and listening to streamed music. The company found that in the UK, the total number of weekly audio streams selected by music fans had grown from 100m a week in January 2013 to 200m a week in January 2014. It is now up to 260m. Daft Punk's Get Lucky became the first track to be streamed one million times in a week last year. So far this year, nine tracks have generated more than one million streams in a single week, including two tracks passing the 1.5m barrier - Rather Be by Clean Bandit and Waves by Mr Probz. In a parallel move, The Official Breakers Chart will be launched to reflect the fastest-growing new tracks. The rundown will showcase the 10 biggest new tracks of each week which have seen an increase in sales and streams. The Official Charts Company provide the UK's only official music and video charts, as seen at OfficialCharts.com, on BBC Radio 1, MTV, Music Week, The Sun, Daily Mirror, Daily Star and many more. The Official Chart Update with Scott Mills and Jameela Jamil is every Wednesday at 15:30-16:00 on BBC Radio 1 and The Official Chart Show with Jameela Jamil, is broadcast every Sunday between 16:00-19:00 on BBC Radio 1. At the moment, the charts are compiled purely from sales information gathered across all key distribution, or entertainment, channels including all major high street retail chains, independent stores, supermarkets, mail order internet retailers and digital music service providers. In countries like Sweden, data is part of a mobile phone package with customers not paying extra to use it. The country also has an established high speed 3G and 4G network which enables the use of streaming continuously, even on their underground system.

Mr Kinnock says Labour has \"fundamentally failed to reinvent itself.\" The MPs' proposals cover housing, education, social cohesion and health. Jeremy Corbyn's office declined to comment on the publication. Speaking at the book launch, Mr Kinnock - a frequent critic of the Labour leader - attacked the \"hard left\" within the party which he claimed did not \"believe in Britain\". He said that without change, Labour would become a \"Marmite, love us or hate us party\" which was irrelevant to most people. The MPs Emma Reynolds, Dan Jarvis, Anna Turley, Steve Reed and Justin Madders are among those who have contributed to the book, entitled \"Spirit of Britain, Purpose of Labour\". The policies put forward include adult education funds for people who don't go to university, government-funded training days for all workers and a decentralised national curriculum for schools. Baby boxes, already provided to prospective parents in Scotland, should be introduced UK-wide to help improve life chances and reduce infant deaths, claims Dan Jarvis MP, who has written a chapter on education. He suggests a new National Institute of Educational and Training Excellence should be given power to set the school curriculum. Among the housing policies suggested by the group are restrictions on foreign ownership, an overhaul of the land market and giving local authorities the power to speed up building. 'Conspiracy-driven' Labour's current target to build one million new homes by 2022 is \"realistic albeit very ambitious,\" according to Emma Reynolds MP. She says the government's Rent to Buy and Help to Buy schemes had made the UK's housing problem \"worse not better\" and \"helped stoke demand and done nothing to increase supply\". In the book's foreword, Mr Kinnock says he hopes the Labour leadership will see the book as \"a set of constructive proposals\" which would \"dramatically increase our changes of forming the next government\". Speaking at the launch, he described a Britain as being in a \"dangerously polarised state\" and more divided than any time since the Second World War. In what appeared to be an attack on Mr Corbyn, Mr Kinnock said a minority within the party had a \"conspiracy-driven world view\". Those people, he said, saw Nato as a \"warmongering junta\" and were guilty of a \"foot-dragging reluctance\" to condemn Russia for the Salisbury attack. Asked if he thought Mr Corbyn himself believed in Britain, Mr Kinnock said \"the jury is out\" and described the party leader as being \"on a journey.\" He added that Labour's 2017 general election result was encouraging, but that the party had struggled to win votes in its \"communitarian heartlands.\" \"We struggled amongst those who left school at 16, the over 50s and lost to the Tories in seats such as Mansfield and Middlesbrough.\" The result demonstrated the need for Labour to \"return to the first principles of our foundation as a party\", he added.",

Several cabinet ministers have told the BBC that the PM cannot stay, with one saying it is \"the end of the line\". In a letter to Mrs Leadsom, the PM wrote she was \"sorry to lose someone of [her] passion, drive and sincerity\". Mrs May also said she disagreed with \"the assessment you now give about our approach\" to Brexit. Mrs Leadsom previously ran for Tory leader but withdrew, clearing the path for Mrs May to become prime minister. As Commons leader, she was in charge of organising government business and had been due to announce when the prime minister's Withdrawal Agreement Bill would be introduced to Parliament. Her resignation is the 36th by a minister under Theresa May - 21 of them over Brexit - and comes a day before the UK votes in the European elections. The move came after a day of drama at Westminster in which anger grew at the prime minister's attempt to win backing for the bill - the legislation needed to implement the agreement between the UK and EU on the terms of Brexit. As part of it, Mrs May has offered a number of changes, including a chance for MPs to hold a vote on another referendum if they back the bill. In a letter to the prime minister, Mrs Leadsom - MP for South Northamptonshire - said she did not believe \"the UK would be a truly sovereign United Kingdom through the deal that is now proposed\". She also described holding another referendum as \"dangerously divisive\", and said she was opposed to the government \"willingly facilitating such a concession\". Another referendum would \"risk undermining our Union which is something I passionately want to see strengthened\", she said. She also attacked the \"breakdown of government processes\", saying that Brexit-related legislation proposals had not been \"properly scrutinised\". She concluded her letter by paying tribute to \"the integrity, resolution and determination\" of the prime minister and urging her to \"make the right decisions in the interests of the country, the government and our party\". But in her response, Mrs May said her bill would deliver Brexit for the UK, and sought to assure her departing colleague that she continued to be opposed to a second referendum - arguing it would be \"divisive\". 'A step too far' BBC political correspondent Jonathan Blake said that Mrs Leadsom had made many compromises over Brexit. \"She clearly feels the new improved bill - as Theresa May has styled it - was a step too far,\" he added. \"It is an extraordinary sequence of events for a key member of the Cabinet to resign on the eve of elections. \"It is unlikely that we will see others follow her immediately, but getting into Friday and the weekend, things could move swiftly.\" BBC political editor Laura Kuenssberg said Home Secretary Sajid Javid \"isn't going anywhere\", but added that his backers said he wasn't happy about the second referendum part of Mrs May's offer. Who is Andrea Leadsom? Andrea Leadsom was the MP who stood against Theresa May for leadership of the Conservative Party in 2016, following David Cameron's resignation after the EU referendum. She decided to withdraw from the race, leaving Theresa May as PM, following an interview in which she suggested that being a mother made her a better candidate for the job. Mrs Leadsom campaigned for Leave during the Brexit campaign, appearing on the panel at the final TV debate of the campaign at Wembley Arena, alongside Boris Johnson and then Labour MP Gisela Stuart. She served as environment secretary between July 2016 and June 2017, and more recently as Leader of the House, a role which means she organises and announces government business in Parliament. Tim Loughton - the Conservative MP who ran Mrs Leadsom's campaign to be party leader - said she had \"great integrity\", and left because she couldn't support the prime minister's bill. Pro-EU Conservative MP Dominic Grieve said he was sorry that Mrs Leadsom had resigned, but added that some of this colleagues are \"living in world of fantasy\". \"They refuse to accept they can't carry out Brexit in the way that they want,\" he said. Labour MP Ian Lavery said the resignation showed \"the prime minister's authority is shot and her time is up\". His colleague Jess Phillips praised Mrs Leadsom, saying: \"I liked Leadsom. She had our back in the complaints process and she was vital in the proxy voting.\" 'Tough it out' The minister's resignation capped a difficult day for the prime minister who continued to resist calls to quit herself. Several cabinet ministers broke cover on Wednesday afternoon to signal their unhappiness with the Withdrawal Agreement Bill, among them Home Secretary Sajid Javid. Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt also requested a private meeting with the PM to discuss the situation. But BBC political editor Laura Kuenssberg said the PM declined to meet the ministers - both of whom are seen as possible contenders to be the next Conservative leader - and instead seemed determined to \"tough it out\". The 1922 Committee of backbench Conservative MPs had been expected to vote on Wednesday evening on whether to change the party's rules to allow an immediate vote of no confidence in the prime minister. Current rules dictate that as the PM survived such a vote in December, she cannot face another one for 12 months. Mrs May is now scheduled to meet the committee's chairman, Sir Graham Brady on Friday. Laura Kuenssberg said the PM appeared to have bought herself 36 hours. The PM had already pledged to set a timetable for a new leader to take over after MPs vote on the Withdrawal Agreement Bill. That, in theory at least, is expected to happen on 7 June. What is in the Withdrawal Agreement Bill? Mrs May is bringing the Withdrawal Agreement Bill - legislation required to bring her agreement into UK law - to Parliament in early June.

Palaeontologists said they had given it a Gaelic name, Dearcmhara, to reflect its connection with the Hebrides. Work to identify it was led by the University of Edinburgh and museums. A team of palaeontologists studied fossil fragments of skulls, teeth, vertebrae and an upper arm bone unearthed on Skye over the past 50 years. They identified several examples of extinct aquatic animals - known as ichthyosaurs - which lived during the Early to Middle Jurassic, including the entirely new species. Dr Steve Brusatte, of the University of Edinburgh's School of GeoSciences, who led the study, said: \"During the time of dinosaurs, the waters of Scotland were prowled by big reptiles the size of motor boats. \"Their fossils are very rare, and only now, for the first time we've found a new species that was uniquely Scottish.\" He added: \"Without the generosity of the collector who donated the bones to a museum instead of keeping them or selling them, we would have never known that this amazing animal existed.\" The work was carried out by a consortium involving the University of Edinburgh, National Museums Scotland, the University of Glasgow's Hunterian Museum, Scottish National Heritage and Skye's Staffin Museum. Dr Nick Fraser, of National Museums Scotland, said: \"Not only is this a very special discovery, but it also marks the beginning of a major new collaboration involving some of the most eminent palaeontologists in Scotland. \"It has brought together key organisations, local collectors on Skye and specialists from further afield. We are excited by the programme of work and are already working on additional new finds.\" The study is published in the Scottish Journal of Geology. The hand-beast During the Jurassic Period, much of Skye was under water and today is one of the few places in the world where fossils from the Middle Jurassic Period can be found. Other important fossil finds have been made on the Misty Isle. In 2008, scientists revealed that the earliest turtles known to live in water had been discovered on the island. The 164 million-year-old reptile fossils were found on a beach at Cladach a'Ghlinne, on the Strathaird peninsula in southern Skye. The new species formed a missing link between ancient terrestrial turtles and their modern, aquatic descendants. The fossils include more than 100 marks left by a lizard called Isochirotherium - also known as the hand-beast - 270 million years ago.",

The unannounced visit in February was in response to concerns by patients, staff and the local leadership team, the CQC said. Inspectors found risks to patients' physical health were not always fully addressed, wards were understaffed and there were a number of vacant posts. The report noted a high level of staff sickness and, in one ward, low staff morale. Nine days before the inspection, the trust had implemented key changes in response to concerns, including new leadership, additional checks on safety and extra support for staff, the CQC said. The CQC told the trust to make improvements to its acute wards for adults of working age and psychiatric intensive care units. Responding to the report, trust clinical director Dr Adam Cox said staffing remained \"a significant challenge facing the whole NHS\" and action had been taken to recruit additional staff and \"support and retain our existing colleagues\".

Another internet shut-down was observed hours later, Chinese state media said. Sony Pictures originally pulled the film after a cyber-attack and threats - a move criticised by Mr Obama. He joined critics who had warned that freedom of expression was under threat if the movie was shelved. Sony later reconsidered and released The Interview on Christmas Day. The controversial film was shown in some US cinemas and is available online, with several hundred independent cinemas coming forward and offering to screen it. However, larger theatres decided not to show the film. 'Righteous deed' In a statement issued on Saturday, North Korea's NDC spokesman denounced the US for screening the \"dishonest and reactionary movie hurting the dignity of the supreme leadership of the DPRK [North Korea] and agitating terrorism\". President Obama, the statement said, \"is the chief culprit who forced the Sony Pictures Entertainment to indiscriminately distribute the movie\", blackmailing cinemas in the US. It added: \"Obama always goes reckless in words and deeds like a monkey in a tropical forest.\" The NDC also accused Washington of \"groundlessly linking the unheard of hacking at the Sony Pictures Entertainment to the DPRK\". Analysis: Stephen Evans, BBC News, Seoul The Interview is a classic Hollywood romp involving two lads who go to a strange place and get seduced (in several senses). And it is very funny. That's partly because it is also a very good political satire. It is powerful because it depicts Kim Jong-un as a vain, buffoonish despot, alternating between threats and weeping that he's been misunderstood. The people around him have all the signs of fear you might expect with a despot - they second-guess his likes and dislikes. Maybe he - and they - were right to fear the film. North Korean defectors sometimes smuggle USB sticks with films and soaps into the closed-off country, and there is a view in the south that these are a particularly powerful means of undermining the regime in Pyongyang. If that's so, The Interview might be a good candidate for inclusion. That fear may explain the North Korean leadership's intemperate, deeply racist language. It's not the first time it has called President Obama a monkey. Crude insult or satire. Which is more effective? FBI accusation Sony Pictures had initially pulled the film after suffering an unprecedented hacking attack at the hands of a group calling itself the Guardians of Peace. The hackers also threatened to carry out a terrorist attack on cinemas showing the film on its scheduled release date of Christmas Day. Last week, the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) said its analysis pointed the finger at North Korea. However, many cybersecurity experts have come forward to dispute this assertion. At the time, North Korea denied being behind the attack but described it as a \"righteous deed\". The country subsequently suffered a severe internet outage. On Saturday, China's state news agency Xinhua said: \"At Pyongyang time 19:30 (10:30 GMT) North Korea's internet and mobile 3G network came to a standstill, and had not returned to normal as of 21:30.\" Its reporters in North Korea had found the internet \"very unstable\" throughout the day. Cybersecurity firm Dyn Research also said that North Korea suffered a \"countrywide internet blackout\" on Saturday. The Interview saga The Interview features James Franco and Seth Rogen as two journalists who are granted an audience with Mr Kim. The CIA then enlists the pair to assassinate him.",

            "input": "Katya AdlerEurope editor@BBCkatyaadleron Twitter It's often arduous and tedious for the parties involved, never mind onlookers - just ask the Dutch. Which makes the current, almost obsessive international focus on Angela Merkel's rather painful attempts to form a German government all the more striking. \"There's one subject that comes up over and over again in European circles at the moment,\" German MEP Jo Leinen told me in slightly exasperated tones. \"When will Germany have a government?\" The Spaniards, the Dutch, they all want to know, he said, but most of all, the French. Of course they do. What happens in Germany directly affects the rest of Europe. Huge country, huge economy equals enormous influence. Germany has arguably presided over, if not run, the European show over the past decade or so. Ambitious Emmanuel Macron wants France to steal back the limelight - a return to what he will see as the good old days when France played Europe's starring role. But France cannot become more significant on the European stage without Germany's help, and President Macron knows it. Right now he stands alone among EU leaders with an unabashedly pro-European stance plus a clear, far-reaching agenda for EU reform. But listen carefully to his speeches, Carnegie Europe senior fellow Judy Dempsey told me, such as his big Europe speech in September at the Sorbonne university where he calls for more EU integration in the eurozone, in defence, migration and more. He also very clearly says to Germany: I can't do this without you. This is a new generation in France realising the essential importance of bringing Germany in. The prospect of a powerful Franco-German motor once again propelling the EU put smiles back on Eurocrat faces after their disappointment at the Brexit vote. But the once-mighty Angela Merkel, whom President Macron has done so much to woo, was hobbled by a drubbing at the polls around the same time he made his Euro-visionary Sorbonne speech. Without a government, Germany can only tread political water. And the longer the process of German coalition building goes on, the twitchier Mr Macron and other European leaders become. \"Time isn't a luxury,\" Judy Dempsey notes. With an unpredictable President Trump in the White House, EU countries in Eastern and Central Europe thumbing their noses at what Brussels calls European values, a Brexit deal to be struck and European Parliamentary elections coming up next year, never mind possibly rowdy elections in Italy, Hungary and Sweden later this year - the space to agree meaningful EU reform looks suffocatingly narrow. And so everyone looks earnestly, impatiently, to Germany and to a meeting this Sunday that would not normally tickle pan-European headlines - a party conference in Bonn of Germany's Social Democrat Party, the SPD. Will the party agree to start formal coalition talks with Mrs Merkel's conservatives after preliminary discussions which ended last week? And even if it does, will SPD members later approve the resulting coalition agreement? It's far from a done deal. The SPD performed badly in the autumn general elections. Many in the party blame too much time in coalition, wilting under Chancellor Merkel's shadow. For them, another four years of being bossed about by \"Mutti\" is unappealing. Emmanuel Macron and those favouring a strong EU are willing the SPD to say \"ja\" (yes). The prize for them is massive. You don't need to read too many of the 28 pages making up the preliminary SPD-conservative agreement to realise that Europe is topic number one. Angela Merkel has always been an ardent defender of the EU but never, in all her years as chancellor, has she made a visionary Europe speech. But in SPD leader Martin Schulz - a former president of the European Parliament and close colleague of EU commission chief Jean-Claude Juncker - Mr Macron has met his match for Euro-enthusiasm. On the flip side, though, if these coalition talks collapse, so potentially do the dreams of a re-energised, more integrated European Union. Mr Schulz would most probably be out of a job and Mr Macron would likely see his EU reform plans fester, denting his standing at home and abroad. The tension in European circles as they await news from Germany is palpable. Influential MEP Manfred Weber told the European Parliament on Wednesday that Europe was at a crossroads. He warned of the ongoing tide of political populism and concluded: \"It's either hate or hope. It's either an ambitious Europe or no Europe at all.\" And the failure to agree a so-called grand coalition in Germany has direct implications for Brexit too. It could mean the EU's most powerful country will be in full general election upheaval just as negotiators go into battle over the future shape of trade and other relations between the European Union and post-Brexit UK . That prospect alone is making eyes water - on both sides of the Channel.",

Patricia Moore, 71, was sentenced to three years and six months for one count of tax evasion in 2019. Deemster Dermot Main Thompson said the offences were \"brazen in their extent\". The couple, who were the directors of two development companies - Sheratan Ltd and Greenbank IOM Ltd - were found guilty at trial at Douglas Courthouse in November 2020. A jury found that John Moore had deliberately submitted false records relating to land sales in July 2010 and July 2014 to Customs and Excise.

A third of graduates are working in London and south-east England. There are also signs that more young graduates are self-employed. This UK report from the Higher Education Careers Service Unit (Hecsu) and Association of Graduate Careers Advisory Services provides a detailed look at the paths taken six months after graduation - based on the cohort leaving university in 2011. Bar work Despite rising number of graduates and a struggling economy hitting recruitment, the graduate jobs market has remained relatively resilient. It echoes previous studies showing that in the long term, graduates are likely to earn higher incomes than non-graduates and are less likely to face unemployment. It also reflects that the jobs market is changing - with more demand for graduates and skilled workers. This latest study shows a stable picture - with 62% of recent graduates in employment, 9% unemployed, 14% staying on for further study and the remainder in a mixture of training while working and other activities. This snapshot, taken before many young people have settled into their intended careers, shows what type of jobs graduates are doing six months after leaving their first degrees. It shows that many are still in non-graduate jobs. The most typical sector is in retail, catering and bar staff, representing about 15% of young graduates. There are 13% in health sector jobs, 8% in business and financial jobs and about 7% in media and design. Few people will have entered jobs which usually require postgraduate training, such as law. The weak economy might have inspired more students to start up their own businesses - with a steady upward entrepreneurial trend in self-employment. This is now approaching 5% of university leavers - up from 3% in the middle of the last decade. Geographical spread Cuts in public sector spending could also be affecting the jobs market, says the survey - with reductions in the numbers of graduates going into a range of posts in health, education and social services. In terms of the geographical spread of jobs for new graduates, there is a strong bias towards London and the south-east of England. One in five of all recent graduates who are in employment are working in London, by far the largest share of the graduate jobs market. The next biggest provider of jobs is the south-east of England. In contrast, within England the lowest proportion of graduates are working in the North East and east Midlands. In terms of salaries, the typical range of earnings was between about £18,000 and £24,000 for those graduates who had jobs six months after leaving university. The deputy research director at Hecsu, Charlie Ball, says that in a \"difficult jobs market\" and a struggling economy \"over 166,000 of last year's graduates were known to be working in the UK six months after leaving university - nearly 8,000 more than the previous year\". \"The figures show that even in difficult times, graduates can and do get jobs.\"",

Another 342 people have tested positive for the virus, taking the overall number of confirmed cases to 49,784.

As of Sunday, there were 425 people in hospital, of those 40 people are in intensive care, 28 are on ventilation. Belfast city centre was busy on Sunday as shoppers stocked up for Christmas, ahead of the temporary closure of all non-essential shops on Friday. Meanwhile, there has been some \"good progress\" in plans to design a single set of coronavirus rules for Christmas that would apply across the UK. 'Additional bubbling' Northern Ireland's first and deputy first ministers joined talks with the first ministers of Scotland and Wales, and Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster Michael Gove on Saturday to discuss \"shared arrangements\". In a joint statement on Sunday, the five ministers recognised that Christmas 2020 \"will not be a normal festive period and the risks of transmission remain very real\". However they agreed it is import to allow families and friends to meet \"in a careful and limited way\". The ministers said they \"endorsed a shared objective of facilitating some limited additional household bubbling for a small number of days\". \"In respect of Northern Ireland, ministers also recognised that people will want to see family and friends across the island of Ireland, and this is the subject of discussions with the Irish government, the statement added.

On Sunday, one further coronavirus-related death was reported by the Irish Department of Health and another 318 people tested positive for the virus. A junior minister in the Irish Department of Agriculture told Irish broadcaster RTÉ there will not be a free-for-all two-week holiday at Christmas. Senator Pippa Hackett said it was \"disappointing\" that infection rates had not reduced by as much as the government had anticipated when it imposed the lockdown on 21 October. Ms Hackett said although the government wants people to have a \"meaningful Christmas\" where they can celebrate together, ultimately ministers will have to make decisions based on the statistics and advice from health officials. She urged the public to help stop the spread of infection before the calls are made, saying: \"We have a week or so now to really buckle down and do what we've been asked to do.\" Northern Ireland's new lockdown restrictions have been criticised by some businesses, but First Minister Arlene Foster has defended the move. The DUP leader denied that her party had performed a U-turn by agreeing to tighter Covid-19 restrictions one week after voting against measures proposed to the Stormont Executive. On Sunday, Ulster Unionist MLA Doug Beattie accused executive ministers of \"sniping at each other and trying to politically point score\". 'Dither and delay' Speaking on BBC One NI's Sunday Politics Show, Mr Beattie said ministers need to work together. \"Where there's a failing in one department within the executive, the others need to rally around and help support them to get it fixed, as opposed to pointing a finger at somebody else to detract attention away,\" he said. Meanwhile, SDLP MLA Matthew O'Toole criticised the Department of Enterprise and the Department of Finance, saying there was too much \"dither and delay\" in terms of getting financial support to businesses. \"There's a significant amount of financial resource sitting in the executive coffers - around half a billion is there to be spent on exactly this,\" he said. \"We've seen a lot of dither and delay in getting the schemes up and running... those are taking too long to get started and get the money out the door. He said the two departments need to \"come together and deliver as soon as possible\". On Friday, the government statistics agency Nisra said it had recorded a rise in the weekly number of Covid-19-related deaths for the sixth week in a row. Nisra said 96 deaths were registered in the week up to Friday 13 November, with its overall total standing at 1,201.

            "input": "The probe, led by Lord MacLean, looked into care at Dunbartonshire's Vale of Leven Hospital between 2007 and 2008. Of the 143 patients with C. diff, it was a contributory factor in 34 deaths. Lord MacLean said NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde (GGC) had \"badly let down\" patients. The health board apologised unreservedly for a \"terrible failure\". The judge said: \"The inquiry has discovered serious personal and systemic failures. \"Patients at the Vale of Leven Hospital were badly let down by people at different levels of NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde who were supposed to care for them.\" 'Personal suffering' He added: \"There were failures by individuals but the overall responsibility has to rest with the health board.\" Lord MacLean said \"systems were simply not adequate to tackle effectively a healthcare associated infection\" like C. diff. He added: \"The major lesson to be learned is that what happened at Vale of Leven Hospital to cause such personal suffering should never be allowed to happen again.\" Lord MacLean also expressed his view that the figure of 34 deaths was probably an underestimate as medical records were not available for all of the patients during the period in question. He cited poor facilities, such as a lack of wash hand basins and a lack of commodes, as well as issues with the fabric of the building as evidence of poor management. The judge said that prolonged uncertainty over the future of the Vale of Leven hospital contributed to poor morale and recruitment. Management failures Poor leadership among NHS GGC managers, the judge said, contributed to substandard nursing care and deficiencies in medical staffing. He said inexperienced junior doctors had too much responsibility and consultants were stretched. Lord MacLean also said antibiotics were prescribed in cases where it was inappropriate. His report identified a number of failings: There are 75 recommendations in his report, including recommendations on infection prevention and control, nursing and medical care, antibiotic prescribing, communication with patients and relatives, and death certification. 'Repeated warnings' Lord MacLean added: \"An effective inspection regime, I am convinced, would have been able to identify the dysfunctional nature of infection prevention and control at the hospital. \"There must be an effective line of reporting, accountability and assurance. \"This was lacking for the Vale of Leven Hospital. In addition, repeated warnings over a number of years about the importance of prudent antibiotic prescribing had no impact.\" C. diff Inquiry C. diff is a bacteria which lives harmlessly in the gut of 10% to 15% of adults. It causes diarrhoea when the delicate balance of gut flora is disturbed, often following a course of antibiotics. It is easily spread via airborne spores. The inquiry into the C. diff outbreak at vale of Leven was delayed five times. The eventual cost of the inquiry is estimated to be just under £10m. Lord MacLean acknowledged that improvements had been made since the C. diff outbreak. He said: \"NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde did introduce more effective reporting systems for CDI (C. diff) after June 2008 but the message should be reinforced that systems must ensure that important information is relayed from ward to board (NHS GGC). \"I am convinced that the adoption of the recommendations proposed will result in a significantly improved focus on patient care, and in particular, care of patients who contract an infection such as CDI. \"Although it was the failures in how CDI was managed at the hospital that governed the work of the inquiry, the recommendations should, I hope, have a more far-reaching impact.\" 'Profound regret' Andrew Robertson, chairman of NHS GGC, said: \"On behalf of the board and our staff, I would like to offer an full and unreserved apology to the patients affected and to the families who lost a relative to C. diff in the months between January 2007 and late 2008. \"This was a terrible failure and we profoundly regret it. \"I can give the firmest of assurances that, as a result of the lessons that have been learned, this could not happen again.\" Health board chief executive, Robert Calderwood, added: \"Re-iterating my personal apology I hope the relatives can take some comfort that the lessons learned from this outbreak have resulted in significant improvements in clinical practice, for instance, in more prudent prescribing of antibiotics. \"These major improvements introduced since the tragic events of six years ago have made the Vale and all of our hospitals in Greater Glasgow and Clyde safer for patients than they have ever been.\" In a statement issued by Thompsons Solicitors, families affected by C. diff at the Vale of Leven said: \"There are no words we can say to you today that will accurately convey the anger, hurt and grief we have felt for the past seven years over the suffering that our loved ones endured as they succumbed to this terrible outbreak. \"Many of us watched completely powerless as our dearly loved family members died in distressing and degrading circumstances as hospital staff struggled to cope. \"We have reached the stage today after seven long years where Lord Maclean has identified many of the causes for the outbreak and has made recommendations which we sincerely hope will mean no other families will ever have to suffer the hell we have been through.\" NHS 'shame' The families said the 75 recommendations were \"detailed and far reaching\" and they expected the health authorities to \"fully implement\" them. They added added: \"The events at Vale of Leven that began in the late months of 2007 are a shame on the conscious of the Scottish NHS. \"We all believe in the NHS but our faith has been shaken to its very core. As a group will continue to fight until our campaign for justice for loved ones is satisfied. \"We are sincere in our belief that if we can prevent something like this from ever happening again then at least it will be a fitting tribute to their memories.\" Newly-appointed Scottish Health Secretary Shona Robison also apologised to the patients and families affected, saying she was \"truly sorry\". She said: \"Our NHS failed in its duty of care for all of these patients and their families. As the cabinet secretary for health, that is a matter of deep regret for me, this government and indeed the whole of the health service. \"That is why we will accept all 75 recommendations and go further where we can. As well as creating our implementation group, I am today writing to all health boards to ensure they review their services against the report and respond to the government within eight weeks.\" Ms Robison acknowledged that Lord MacLean's report had shown \"a clear picture of the failings in the system that led to the C. diff outbreak\". These included a \"lack of investment in the hospital, which was simply no longer fit for its purpose...a lack of managerial oversight and a fundamental breakdown in the links between what was happening at ward level and those in positions of authority at the board\". \"The report highlights those who either abdicated their responsibilities or failed to carry them out effectively,\" Ms Robison said. \"There is no place for this conduct in our NHS, which fell below even the minimum standards we expect. It is for the health board as the employer to consider the implications and we would expect them to consider the report's findings on this aspect urgently.\" Analysis, Eleanor Bradford, BBC Scotland health correspondent The outbreak of clostridium difficile at the Vale of Leven hospital was one of several across the UK at the time. Authorities often say that much has changed, but this time it really has. Levels of C. difficile are 75% lower than they previously were. This has been achieved through better hygiene and infection control, but by far the biggest impact in Greater Glasgow was made through a change in the kind of antibiotics prescribed. The relatives of those who became ill, or died, rightly want to know why these changes weren't in place earlier. However, the public may end up asking a bigger question - whether it was worth £10m for an inquiry which took so long that by the time it reached its conclusions, the problem had already largely been fixed. The health secretary noted that at the time of the outbreak, \"there was no effective inspection regime at the time to pick up these failings\". \"We now have an effective inspection routine through the Healthcare Environment Inspectorate that completes unannounced, comprehensive inspections and demands urgent actions,\" she said. Ms Robison added: \"Our top priority is that lessons are learned so that what happened at the Vale of Leven can never be allowed to happen again.\" The health secretary will give a ministerial statement on the inquiry on Tuesday afternoon, which can be watched live or on demand on BBC Scotland's Democracy Live website. A full Scottish government response to the report will be published in spring 2015. Jackie Baillie, the Labour MSP for Dumbarton, said the findings had \"vindicated\" the families who had called for a public inquiry. \"The C. diff outbreak at the Vale of Leven Hospital was the worst in the UK due to the high mortality rate,\" she said. \"The families deserve nothing less than a full apology from the hospital management, NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde and the Scottish government for the mistakes which compromised patient care.\" 'Difficult reading' She added: \"What happened at the Vale of Leven should never be repeated anywhere in Scotland so it is vital we learn lessons and implement MacLean's recommendations in full.\" Scottish Conservative health spokesman Jackson Carlaw, said the report would be \"extremely difficult reading\" for those who lost loved ones. He said: \"Failing after failing is set out here, and there are very tricky questions for both the health board and the Scottish government.\" Mr Carlaw said that as Scotland's new First Minister Nicola Sturgeon was health secretary from May 2007 she would \"have to explain why the infection control and inspection regimes were so inadequate, and why the Scottish government wasn't paying attention to lessons being learned south of the border\". He added: \"Many of the recommendations set out will already have been acted upon, and I'm sure NHS staff across Scotland are absolutely committed to an outbreak like this never being repeated.\" Dr Charles Saunders, chairman of the BMA's Scottish public health committee, said the report was \"uncomfortable reading for all of us involved in the provision of healthcare\". \"Whilst we recognise, since the beginning of this inquiry, a number of steps have been taken to improve patient safety and the standards of care, it is important that the NHS and the Scottish government are not complacent. \"Some of the circumstances that led to the challenges which were experienced at the Vale of Leven Hospital still exist, and not just in small district general hospitals.\" Unison regional organiser, Matt McLaughlin, said: \"It is fair to say that NHS Glasgow and Clyde has now put in place systems that would recognise a similar trend were it to occur today and this is to be welcomed. \"However, the report also identifies many issues that are sadly not uncommon across Scotland and that our nursing members have been raising for a long time: short staffing, lack of equipment, wrong skill mix and little or no extra staffing when clinical needs on the ward change.\" Reevel Alderson, BBC Scotland home affairs correspondent Campaigners frequently call for a public inquiry to be held following a scandal or tragedy. But only four have been held since the current law governing them was passed in 2005. The problem for the government is that inquiries are costly and lengthy. Lord Penrose's inquiry into the infection of blood for transfusions with the hepatitis C virus has yet to report, although it has reportedly cost £12m and has taken five years so far. But public inquiries, which are chaired by a judge, are able to make recommendations which become legally binding. During the ICL inquiry into the Stockline explosion, evidence about badly-maintained underground gas pipes prompted the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) to inspect other premises and issue enforcement notices. In 2012 the Scottish government announced it would consult on improvements to the public inquiry system to make them more responsive, quicker and cheaper. But nothing has so far been done.",

His victim, a girl aged under 16, was a police cadet at the time, a misconduct hearing was told. Hertfordshire Police Chief Constable Charlie Hall said Grigg's conduct was \"outrageous and extremely damaging\". He found the officer's actions amounted to gross misconduct and said Sgt Grigg would be dismissed without notice and added to the barred list. \"His conduct is a million miles away from what is acceptable or expected from a police officer,\" he said. \"Sgt Grigg has proven himself to be a disgrace to his colleagues and the profession.\" The officer, formerly of Hatfield, was sentenced to six and a half years in prison in December after being convicted at Harrow Crown Court. He was also placed on the sex offenders' register for life and made the subject of a sexual harm prevention order. The hearing was told the officer, who is in prison, was informed of the misconduct proceedings but \"made it clear he wished to have no involvement\". The offences took place between 2007 and 2012 while Sgt Grigg was a cadet leader for the force and his victim was a cadet. Mr Hall said Sgt Grigg \"targeted the vulnerable person, a child, at times he knew they would be alone\". \"He abused his position of trust as a police officer and cadet leader for his own personal sexual gratification,\" he said. \"His behaviour has been quite appalling.

            "input": "David Davies said the exercise showed there was no support for other options. On Wednesday night MPs rejected eight proposals, including calls for a customs union with the EU and for a further referendum. Ex-Welsh Secretary Stephen Crabb put the chances of the PM's deal passing by the end of this week at less than 50%. Brexit: What happens now? Mr Crabb was speaking before it was announced the Commons would vote on the EU withdrawal agreement on Friday, in a fresh bid to break Brexit deadlock, but would not vote on the further \"political declaration\". The legally binding withdrawal agreement sets out how much money the UK must pay to the EU as a settlement, details of the transition period, citizens rights and \"backstop arrangements\" to prevent a hard border between Northern Ireland and the Irish Republic. The political declaration is a framework for how the future EU-UK relationship will work. If MPs back it the withdrawal agreement on Friday, the government says the UK will leave the EU on 22 May. Wednesday night's Commons votes on Brexit alternatives came on a day when the Mrs May told Conservative MPs she would step down if her deal is backed. Two Welsh Conservative MPs, who have voted against it twice, told BBC Wales that the prime minister's move would still not be enough for them to support the agreement if a third vote is held. Calls for a customs union with the EU were rejected by 272 to 264 votes, while a call for a referendum to endorse any deal was rejected by 295 to 268 votes. David Davies, Monmouth Conservative MP and a leave campaigner during the 2016 referendum, has backed the prime minister's deal in the Commons. He said Wednesday's exercise shows \"that the only course of action is to take the deal. There is no support for any alternative.\" \"All Brexiteers need to understand this is the only game in town,\" he said. The deal is the \"only chance we've got of getting out of the European Union,\" Mr Davies added. Preseli Pembrokeshire Conservative MP Mr Crabb is backing Mrs May's deal as a \"clear legal way to leave the EU\". But he told BBC Radio Wales Brexit had been \"handled so badly, I'm giving it a less than 50% chance of getting through by the end of the week\". Plaid Cymru's Westminster leader Liz Saville Roberts said a further referendum \"had the highest vote of anything if you look at it positively, rather than the negatives\". Speaking on the BBC Wales Live programme, she said support in the Commons for a new public vote was \"higher than the votes the prime minister had on her deal in the past\". Ms Saville Roberts added that while the offer of standing down may win Mrs May the backing of some Tories, \"it may well lose her some of the Labour support that she had, who now see the deal that she offered fading away\". Welsh First Minister Mark Drakeford said the result of the vote was \"disappointing... but not surprising\". Labour frontbencher Nia Griffith said Wednesday's votes were \"only really the beginning of the process\". \"We need to clearly sit down and try to get the best possible system forward that can open the discussion further,\" the shadow defence secretary said. Theresa May has twice failed to get her Brexit deal through the House of Commons, with large numbers of Conservative MPs voting against it. On Wednesday night the DUP said it will still not back the withdrawal agreement. The prime minister told MPs of her intention to quit if the deal passes at the 1922 Committee of backbench Tory MPs. Simon Hart, Conservative MP for Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire, said the mood in the meeting was \"respectful\" as the prime minister set out her plan. He told the BBC News Channel Mrs May's promise to stand down, and \"other things\" happening, will change people's minds on her deal. He claimed the passing of the withdrawal agreement was \"edging closer\" . But former Brexit minister David Jones said: \"I have voted against the withdrawal agreement twice because it is contrary to the national interest. \"The agreement remains unchanged and I have heard nothing to cause me to change my mind.\" Aberconwy MP Guto Bebb said: \"We are now being asked to vote for a divorce agreement organised and negotiated by the prime minister but the future relationship is going to be negotiated by somebody else and we do not know who. \"I personally think that that makes the agreement even more unattractive.\" Both Mr Bebb and Mr Jones had opposed the Brexit deal, but for very different reasons. Mr Bebb wants to see a closer relationship with the European Union and a further referendum, while Mr Jones has concerns the UK would remain too closely tied to the bloc. The remaining six Welsh Tory MPs have voted for the deal. Remain-voting Labour MPs were scathing of the PM's announcement. Cardiff Central MP Jo Stevens said it was the \"ultimate bribe from the PM to her MPs to save the Tory party\". \"This has nothing to do with the national interest,\" she said, with Rhondda MP Chris Bryant calling it \"partisan and private advantage masquerading as principle\". Conservative Welsh Secretary Alun Cairns said Mrs May had \"tried to bring together different strengths of view on either side of the party and either side of the country\". \"I think it's an example where she's putting the country before herself again, as she always has,\" he said. Plaid Cymru leader Adam Price called the move one of the \"strangest political strategies ever by an incumbent head of government\".",

The 27-year-old described how she dealt with being one of Hollywood's most recognisable figures during a conversation with the comedian. She said her behaviour was intended to \"defend\" herself from unwanted attention. \"I just, generally, once I enter a public place, I become incredibly rude,\" the Hunger Games star said. \"That's kind of like my only way of defending myself.\" She demonstrated some of the methods she uses to discourage fans if they approach her table in a restaurant, by wagging her finger and pulling a face. Lawrence also revealed how she bluntly says \"no!\" if a fan asks for a selfie. Lawrence, who was the world's highest paid actress in 2015 and 2016 according to Forbes, said another approach is to say: \"I'm not working today.\" Sandler laughed at the actress's comments, asking her: \"You get icy?\" He revealed he was more accommodating to fans, letting them pull up chairs to his table. The actor joked: \"I sit them down, I feed them. I let them hang out with my kids.\" He said he sometimes tries to dissuade people from taking selfies with him however, telling them: \"You don't want that, man. What are you going to do with it?\" But Lawrence said she thought the attention was worse for comedians, like Sandler, because people \"just assume they're your best friend\". She went on to say that she frequently walks her dog in New York's Central Park, but that she gets far more attention whenever she is with her comedian friend, Amy Schumer. Sandler joked that since his career is nearer the end than Lawrence's, he wanted to make the most of the attention from fans. \"My life's nearing the end,\" he joked. \"I want to meet as many people as I can.\" Follow us on Facebook, on Twitter @BBCNewsEnts, or on Instagram at bbcnewsents.

The man was freed after a caution from Metropolitan Police, as the UK Border Agency is not seeking to deport him. He had bruises and hypothermia from outside temperatures as low as -41C. But experts said the stowaway survived the flight because the plane flew at a low altitude to avoid stormy weather. The plane belonged to a sheikh from the United Arab Emirates and had been standing empty on the tarmac at Schwechat airport in Vienna, since Thursday. It flew without passengers to Heathrow. The man apparently told British authorities that he got under a fence at Schwechat and climbed into the undercarriage of the first plane he saw without knowing its destination.

He said: \"If they don't find the right part to stow away, they can be crushed when the undercarriage comes up. \"Because of the altitude and temperatures during the flight, there is a severe risk to them through exposure and lack of oxygen. \"If that doesn't kill them, then they could be unconscious when the aircraft descends, and that can mean that when the undercarriage opens again, they will fall out.\"",

The details and date of the meeting have yet to be decided. Mr Corbyn said earlier he would meet the leaders of the two groups \"without any pre-conditions\". He has been calling for such a meeting for more than a week but the two groups had refused to set one up until he agreed to \"an agenda of action for discussions\". This included a commitment from Mr Corbyn to publicly back MPs who were criticised for attending a protest rally against Labour anti-Semitism. In a letter to the groups earlier on Wednesday, Mr Corbyn said: \"I place no limitations on the points you would wish to raise and happy for the agenda to cover the issues you've already outlined.\" He added: \"I appreciate and understand the anger you express and reiterate my determination to fight anti-Semitism within the Labour Party and society at large.\" In their response, the Board of Deputies and the Jewish Leadership Council said: \"Our community has followed the events of the past few weeks closely. \"You will appreciate that some of what they have seen has not been reassuring.\" They said it was \"crucial\" that Mr Corbyn uses his \"own personal authority as leader of the Labour Party to drive the changes required\" but that \"the most important thing going forward will be action and not words\". They agreed to Mr Corbyn's suggestion that Labour's new General Secretary, Jennie Formby, should take part in any meeting. The letter is signed by both Jonathan Arkush, President of the Board of Deputies and Jonathan Goldstein, Chair of the Jewish Leadership Council. Mr Corbyn was criticised by the two groups for attending a dinner on Monday held by Jewdas, a \"radical\" left-wing Jewish collective which has previously suggested claims of anti-Semitism in Labour were a political plot to discredit the party leader. On Tuesday, Mr Arkush said: \"If Jeremy Corbyn goes to their event, how can we take his stated commitment to be an ally against anti-Semitism seriously?\" The Board of Deputies and the Jewish Leadership Council wrote to Mr Corbyn last Wednesday setting out what they wanted to see from a meeting with the Labour leader. They called for Mr Corbyn to take \"personal responsibility\" for the work being undertaken by the party to tackle anti-Semitism and to resolve cases to a \"fixed timescale\". They also urged a ban on Labour members and MPs sharing platforms \"with people who have been suspended or expelled for anti-Semitism\". And they called for improved education about anti-Semitism, including a \"clear list of unacceptable language\". They also want an independent ombudsman to oversee efforts to tackle anti-Semitism in Labour, with regular updates to be given to the party and to Jewish community leaders. Protesters, including several Labour MPs, gathered in Parliament Square last Monday to demand tougher action from Mr Corbyn on anti-Semitism, under the banner \"enough is enough\". A smaller counter-demonstration by the Jewish Voice for Labour group claimed the Labour leader was the victim of a \"witch hunt\" by his political opponents. Jewish leaders said Mr Corbyn had not done enough to condemn the \"abuse and insults\" they say had been directed at Labour MPs who had backed their protest. \"They need to hear you say, publicly and in your own voice, that we had every right to protest about anti-Semitism,\" they told Mr Corbyn in last Wednesday's letter.",

Some Conservative MPs have also questioned the decision to charge Ribble Valley MP Nigel Evans. Mr Evans was acquitted - but the DPP has defended the decision to prosecute. The former Conservative deputy speaker of the House of Commons, was acquitted of nine sex abuse charges, including rape, at Preston Crown Court on Thursday. The attorney general's office stressed Mr Grieve and the (DPP) hold meetings roughly every fortnight, and typically discuss major cases after the verdicts. 'Negative message' A spokesman for the attorney general's office said: \"The running of individual cases is a matter for the independent CPS [Crown Prosecution Service] and the DPP. \"However, as part of his role superintending the CPS, and as would be normal in high-profile cases such as these, the attorney general will discuss these cases with the DPP at their next regular meeting.\" They are expected to meet after Easter. BBC political correspondent Ross Hawkins said long standing protocol meant the attorney general did not talk to the DPP about cases once charges involving politicians have been brought until their conclusion. Mr Roache was cleared of rape and indecent assault in February and Mr Le Vell was acquitted of a number of child sex abuse charges in September last year. Prof Liz Kelly, director of the child and woman abuse studies unit in London, told the Guardian she feared the debate around Mr Evans's trial was sending an \"extremely negative message to survivors of sexual violence\". \"At this time of ongoing high-profile trials, political interference undermining work to improve prosecutions of sexual offences should desist,\" she said. Critics of the CPS, including some Tory MPs, have said it must avoid bringing together a series of weak cases in an attempt to form a strong one. Ms Saunders defended the decision to take the case against Nigel Evans to court. She said the CPS was not on a mission to pursue famous people, but prosecuted every case in the same way. She said she would look at the case to see if lessons could be learned - as was normal with all acquittals - but she rejected any widespread change to CPS procedures in such cases. \"I think we made the right decision in taking it before the court,\" Ms Saunders said. \"We looked at all the evidence and decided there was a realistic prospect of conviction. And what we have to remember is that juries apply a very different, much higher test which is, are they satisfied beyond all reasonable doubt?\" She insisted the CPS would continue to take difficult cases to court provided they satisfied its test.",

Mr Bercow told the Commons it was necessary to discuss issues surrounding the appointment \"in detail\". He added that he favoured splitting the clerk's responsibilities. The clerk of the House is the principal constitutional adviser to the Commons, and adviser on all its procedure and business. Paid £200,000 a year, he or she is also responsible for the overall administration of the House of Commons, including the signing of leases, contracts and public expenditure on Commons services. 'More complex' Ms Mills currently works for the Australian Senate, the Upper House of the Australian Parliament, in the Department of Parliamentary Services, which oversees the buildings, catering and staff. MPs have questioned her suitability for the UK role, with more than 80 signing a Commons motion calling for the nominee to be questioned at a pre-appointment hearing. In a statement Mr Bercow told MPs he had previously expressed a preference for splitting the job in two, as Parliament's affairs had become \"more complex\" over the years. But this had not received enough support to make a change before the recruitment process had started. Mr Bercow said: \"I believe that a modest pause in the recruitment process is desirable while such issues are explored and the views of members solicited in detail.\" The two roles carried out by the clerk would, \"in the meantime\", be carried out by existing members of Commons staff, he added. Mr Bercow said he expected the matter to be \"resolved with goodwill and by consensus\". The previous clerk, Sir Robert Rogers, retired at the end of July and the dispute over the appointment means his successor was not in place as MPs returned from their summer recess, with clerk-assistant David Natzler acting as clerk on a temporary basis. Mr Natzler had been seen as favourite to get the job permanently but the six-member panel, made up of senior MPs from the three largest parties as well as the Parliamentary ombudsman Julie Mellor, chose Ms Mills as their preferred candidate following an open selection process. Tory Jesse Norman, who tabled the motion questioning her appointment, asked the Speaker: \"To clarify, would you agree that at least as regards the procedural and constitutional aspects of the clerkship, she is not qualified for the role and if so is it your intention to withdraw the letter of recommendation, at least for the period of the pause and consultation?\" Mr Bercow replied: \"I say it isn't for me to withdraw a name. A decision was reached by a panel. I hope MPs would accept it would not be seemly to comment on the characteristics of or performance by individuals participating in a still ongoing process.\" The clerk is a royal appointment, made on the advice of the prime minister, who, in turn, takes the advice of the House authorities.",

Mr Ward added the name change would allow them to \"be clear about who we are, where we are and what we represent\". 'Bay-ber' According to Dr Jenny Amos, lecturer in English at the University of Suffolk, there are two likely possible derivations of the word Babergh.

            "input": "More than 600 so-called compromise agreements have been signed since 2009, figures obtained by BBC Wales show. Ten years ago NHS Wales said the agreements - which can ban ex-employees from talking about their jobs - should only be used rarely. The agreements can be used when the relationship between an employer and employee has broken down. But they can also be used when there is a restructure, during redundancies or when an employee has brought a grievance, such as discrimination. The Welsh government said there is \"clear guidance\" on their use but it has been urged to review the issue. Even though members of staff are prevented from talking about the details of their previous employment, they can raise concerns about patient safety. The figures obtained by BBC shows since 2009 there have been 612 compromise agreements signed by Welsh health boards costing almost £17.5m. Over half the agreements - 313 - have been made by Betsi Cadwaladr health board in north Wales at a cost of over £9m, while none have been signed in Hywel Dda health board, which serves mid and west Wales. The vast majority of Betsi Cadwaladr's agreements were signed under what is called a \"voluntary early release scheme\" (VERs), which means staff voluntarily choose to leave. Employees leaving the NHS under this scheme are required to waive their rights to pursue claims in the courts. 'New guidance' In England, health service bodies must first seek the approval of the Treasury and the health department in Westminster to make a compromise agreement. However, in Wales the responsibility for managing the agreements lies directly with each health board. In 2003, the then-director of the NHS in Wales, Ann Lloyd, said that on the \"rare occasion\" organisations might need to consider using a confidentiality clause, they should be regarded as \"novel and contentious and consult with the NHS Wales department\". Welsh Liberal Democrats are calling on the Welsh government to look into the guidance surrounding the agreements. \"They need to review whether the directives of the previous NHS director are being followed,\" said leader Kirsty Williams. \"They need to issue new guidance to limit the number of these agreements and to ensure also that local health boards are reporting correctly the number of these agreements they're working on. \"We should not be spending Welsh taxpayers' money on these agreements when we know there is such pressure on NHS resources.\" Tina Donnelly, director of the Royal College of Nursing in Wales, said she believed the spending on compromise agreements was the result of previous government policies to reorganise the health service in Wales and the costs incurred when shedding staff. Ms Donnelly added: \"Constant reorganisation, every two to three years, does have a price. \"We would have concerns if people were having to sign a compromise agreement where you were not able to speak out, and I'm not aware that happens in Wales. 'Dangerous situation' \"But I do think, when you look at the number, questions should be asked as to the frequency with which those are issued as opposed to keeping people in employment and putting them into other employment in the local health board.\" Jonathan Morgan, an independent health consultant and a former AM, said the clauses should only need to be used rarely in the NHS. He said: \"If I was still chairing the public accounts committee, as I did in the last assembly term, I'd be asking the auditor general to review why such a large sum of money has been spent, what the circumstances are, what lessons can be learnt and what changes could be made to ensure that these agreements are used as a last resort.\" The Welsh NHS Confederation said it understands that the vast majority of agreements within the given figures relate to staff who have requested VERs. \"We are concerned that the current interpretations of these figures is misleading...,\" a spokesperson said. \"VERs are cost effective and cheaper than alternatives. Funding to support them is provided by Welsh government as part of the Invest to Save initiatives. \"Within such an agreement there is a clause that prevents staff from returning to work in NHS Wales for a stipulated period of time or claiming benefits that could have been accrued had they remained in work. \"The purpose of such a compromise agreement is to safeguard remaining staff and avoid misuse of public money.\" The Welsh government said most agreements since 2010 have been part of the voluntary early release scheme, which was developed to support the 2009 NHS Reform Programme in Wales. \"The scheme has been designed as part of the service modernisation programme to assist staff in making a personal decision regarding their future employment,\" a spokesperson said. \"Where staff volunteer to leave their NHS Wales employment and their post will not be replaced they receive an appropriate compensatory severance payment.\" The spokesperson added: \"While health boards undergo change, we would expect the number of VERS agreements to increase, and this is being reflected in these figures.\" Betsi Cadwaladr's chief executive and chairman stood down last month following a damning report by government watchdogs. The board is forecasting a debt of £3.9m by the end of this financial year. BBC Wales research has found that since 2010 the health board has spent £9,073,165 on compromise agreements.",

Canna, a plant nutrient company, took its Giant Vegetable Championships on tour after the Malvern Autumn Show was cancelled, while the National Vegetable Society (NVS) moved some of its competitions online. Growers could enter by photographing their exhibit and submitting it via email. This allowed vegetable growers like Nottinghamshire's Joe Atherton - who holds five world records - to put his 2020 harvest to the judges. Mr Atherton, 65, from Mansfield Woodhouse, took some of his giant vegetables to The Grow Show: On Tour in Mansfield last weekend. He believes he may have set his sixth world record - this time for the longest salsify. The root vegetable, with a similar appearance to a parsnip, grew to 5.5m (18ft) during lockdown. He also beat his own longest beetroot record with an 8.5m (27ft) whopper. Mr Atherton said it was the only competition he would attend this year due to the pandemic. Holly Bolus, from Canna, said: \"We wanted to make sure [growers] still have the chance to showcase their hard work despite all the usual shows being cancelled.\" There has also been interest from several first-time giant veg growers. One such novice - Dominic Driscoll, from Wingerworth, Derbyshire - grew a 22kg (3.4 stone) cabbage in his allotment during lockdown. \"I don't usually do giant vegetables,\" he said. \"I do the show vegetables where they look nice, rather than oversized, but I got the seeds and thought I'd give it a go.\" \"It's kind of exciting, the thrill of the growing - the harvesting is the sad bit really,\" he said. \"The fun is in the work of making them grow and seeing them grow.\" With no opportunity to show his Cornish heirloom cabbage Mr Driscoll, 39, did the only thing he could - eat it. He said, unlike most giant vegetables, it tasted nice. \"We had some last night, it was fantastic - really fresh and crisp,\" he said. Kevin Fortey, from South Wales - who runs an online giant veg Facebook group - said lockdown had been a chance for growers from all over the world to connect via social media. \"We've run some fun competitions online and we've seen a massive upsurge in interest in giant veg growing, with younger generations getting involved,\" he said. He added growers had been donating vegetables to care homes and food banks. \"It's a fun hobby that helps people get outside and stay positive during lockdown,\" he added.

            "input": "Soutik BiswasDelhi correspondent Mukunda Wagh, a farmer, consumed pesticide in the cow shed at his village home in Maharashtra's Washim district. Then he collapsed, frothing at the mouth, and lay unconscious until his wife, Babi, found him. She rushed him to a hospital, where doctors washed his stomach and saved him. Three years later, in May 2012, Wagh's luck ran out. The soybean crop on his two-acre farm had failed and he was drowning in a debt of 60,000 rupees ($890; £631), borrowed from friends and relatives. Villagers found his lifeless body outside a local gas plant. He was 38. 'Not so fortunate' \"Some say he drank himself to death, others say he was electrocuted. His body had turned black. I was at my parents' place when this happened. My children said, if I had stayed at home, their father wouldn't have taken his life,\" says Mrs Wagh, 38. Over four years, Mrs Wagh has rebuilt her family - she has worked long hours, tilling the family plot and working on other people's farms; sent her son and daughter to polytechnic; bought livestock, repaid most of her husband's loan. Low interest loans from self-help groups have been a lifeline. \"I am lucky. Other widows are not so fortunate,\" she says, sitting in her tin-roofed home in Malegaon village. One of them is Archana Burare, a 22-year-old widow, who now lives with her ageing parents and her baby boy in a village in Washim. When her husband took his life after consuming pesticide in 2014, her in-laws abandoned her and locked up their home, forcing her to return to her landless father and homemaker mother. Mrs Burare was 19 when she got married. Her husband had taken a 12-acre farm on rent after borrowing 50,000 rupees, and begun growing rice, groundnut and soybean. The crop was good the first year, and she also worked at another farm, and things were going fine. \"Then the rains stopped and the land dried up. The well ran out of water and the crops failed.\" Mounting debt The family went into a downward spiral. Her husband, she says, began drinking and beating her up. Then he broke his leg in a road accident, and could not afford an expensive private surgery to set it right. Meanwhile, the debts kept mounting: 25,000 rupees for her sister's marriage; another 20,000 rupees for the failing farm. \"I had gone to my parents' place for a break. He was alone at home when he drank pesticide and killed himself,\" says Mrs Burare. \"I did not get any compensation [from the government] because the land did not belong to my husband. My in-laws do not keep in touch.\" Mrs Burare works as a cook at a government childcare centre for a salary of 850 rupees a month, but she hasn't been paid for the past eight months. Her widow pension is still stuck in the bureaucracy. She struggles to feed her extended family by working on other people's farms. \"I am trying to secure my family a bit, buying a few goats and a buffalo after taking some loans from self-help groups. My three-year-old son had an accident, and every check up at the private hospital is expensive. Government hospitals are crowded, it takes three days to get a scan.\" Crop failures According to one estimate, more than 3,000 farmers in Maharashtra have taken their lives every year between 2004 and 2013. Last year, as many as 3,228 farmers took their lives, the highest in the last 14 years, a government minister informed the parliament recently. Widows of 1,818 victims were paid compensation of 100,000 rupees each; the rest were found to be ineligible. The vast, rain-fed farms of Vidarbha region spread over 11 districts in Maharashtra are the worst affected. Cash crops are expensive to grow and a global commodities downturn has meant a drop in demand and declining farm incomes. Access to formal credit is scanty, so farmers are forced to borrow at usurious rates from private lenders to buy seeds, fertilisers, water pumps, and pay for a marriage in the family. Two successive poor monsoons have led to some nine million farmers in the region facing near-drought conditions and crop failures. That's not all. It is not easy for the widows to be eligible for compensation: tangled land deeds mean ownerships of plots are often disputed - there are some 80 cases related to property disputes after farm suicides in four districts - and payment is denied if alcohol is found in the viscera of a dead farmer. The paltry widow pension can take ages to process. \"The widows are the worst affected. Single women face discrimination in patriarchal village households anyway. If they are widowed, they are often thrown out, deprived of their land, and their children's future is jeopardised,\" says Kishore Tiwari, a prominent farm activist heading a government panel to curb suicides. 'No future' Mr Tiwari reckons 60% of some 10,000 farm widows in the Vidarbha region have received no compensation. What's keeping them going are dozens of non-profit and self-help groups networked to NGOs like Kisan Mitra (Farmer's Friend) which are counselling the widows, offering soft loans, making them aware of their property and legal rights and protecting them from sexual harassment. The suicides mirror the state of India's ailing farms, which account for 14% of India's GDP, but on which more than half of its more than a billion people depend on for an uncertain living. Many farmers are simply not earning enough. After the soybean and cotton crop on his three-acre plot failed, Mandha Alone's husband, Sharad, borrowed money to buy an auto-rickshaw, while she worked on the parched farm in Wardha district. But, in 2011, he was injured seriously in a road accident, and had to sell his wife's jewellery and some of his land and take a loan of 200,000 rupees for a series of surgeries. He began defaulting. \"That completely broke him. He drank heavily, beat me up. Then on the day of Holi (festival of colours) in 2013, he simply walked into a river near our village and drowned.\" Mrs Alone says she went into a depression for a year. She was not eligible for compensation because the autopsy found liquor in Sharad's body. Then a self-help group arrived at her door and gave her a small loan to buy a sewing machine. Now she stitches clothes, works on other people's farms, and rents out the family plot. Life continues to be hard, and her husband's debts remain unpaid. \"I have told the bank and the debtors that I cannot pay anymore. I tell them, take the responsibility of my children and do what you want to do,\" says Mrs Alone. \"There's no future in farming anymore. In the villages, farmers are driving auto-rickshaws, working in brick kilns. Their daughters are sitting at home because they don't get good grooms. \"If you come here in 10 years time,\" says Ms Alone, \"you will see many, many more widows.\"",

Texas has the highest execution rate in the country, with 11 inmates put to death so far in 2013. Some drugs companies have objected to their products being used for capital punishment. Texas has used pentobarbital, a drug used to treat severe epilepsy, in executions since July 2012. 'Clamped down' The state was forced to change to the single-dose sedative when supplies of sodium thiopental, one of three drugs used previously, were cut off. But state officials are now having difficulties with the availability of pentobarbital, which is also typically used to put down animals. \"We will be unable to use our current supply of pentobarbital after it expires,'' the Associated Press news agency quoted department spokesman Jason Clark as saying. \"We are exploring all options at this time.\" The state is planning at least five more executions this year. Reuters quoted Mr Clark as saying that Texas was confident it would be able to continue with the deaths, despite the shortage. Richard Dieter, who heads the Washington-based Death Penalty Information Center, said other states would be having similar problems. \"The states really scramble to go all over to get drugs,'' he told AP. \"Some went overseas, some got from each other. But these manufacturers - a number them are based in Europe - don't want to participate in our executions. So they've clamped down as much as they can.\" The first US prisoner put to death using pentobarbital is believed to be 58-year-old John David Duty.

Mr Dale said he was investigating property Mr Ford reportedly intended to purchase at the time. The reporter pursued a libel lawsuit against the mayor for defamation. On Tuesday, Mr Ford issued a public apology to Mr Dale, currently the Toronto Star's acting city hall bureau chief. \"I did not mean to insinuate anything about Mr Dale personally in my interview,\" he said in front of Toronto's city council. \"I certainly did not intend to suggest that he is a paedophile,\" he added. \"I do not believe Mr Dale is a paedophile.\" Mr Ford later blamed the news media for ascribing to him that specific word, which he \"did not say\".

This year's TT event was also scrapped at the start of the pandemic to protect \"critical care services\". In 2019, more than 46,000 people travelled to the island for the TT, spending £37.5m over the two weeks, a government survey found. Guesthouse owner Gillian Salmon said next year's TT had been a \"beacon of hope\" that had been \"quashed\" by the announcement. Hosting the event, which was due to take place from 29 May to 12 June, would have been a \"signal to the world that we are open for business\", she added. Mr George said the decision to cancel the 2021 event was \"devastating news\" which had \"blown a bit of a hole\" into hopes that the tourism sector could start returning to normal. Pub landlord Rob McAleer said losing the TT was a \"disaster\" but \"if we go back into a lockdown then we would be harder hit than those two weeks\".

Tinchy had been a childhood fan of the Chuckles, so when he met them on an episode of Keith Lemon's ITV2 show Celebrity Juice he invited them to his London studio. Fans clearly enjoyed the collaboration and are remembering it fondly. Curtis Davies, who plays football for Derby County, tweeted that The Chuckle Brothers were a big part of his childhood.

But that didn't seem to discourage their friends and family. What is Bitcoin? There are two key traits of Bitcoin: it is digital and it is seen as an alternative currency. Unlike the notes or coins in your pocket, it largely exists online. Secondly, Bitcoin is not printed by governments or traditional banks. A small but growing number of businesses, including Expedia and Microsoft, accept Bitcoins - which work like virtual tokens. However, the vast majority of users now buy and sell them as a financial investment. Only 15 of the nearly 200 wedding guests gave the happy couple \"traditional gifts\". Mr Sharma estimates they received Bitcoin worth 100,000 rupees ($1,559; £1,169). \"The concept is good,\" said one relative who gifted them Bitcoin but did not wish to reveal his name. \"I am sure its acceptance will improve though many governments may not like it now.\" \"Prashant and Niti did not decide on Bitcoin as a gift in the last couple of weeks,\" said Ravi Shankar, another guest. \"It was planned a couple of months ago.\" The recent surge in the price of Bitcoin has led many to wonder if it is a bubble. Mr Sharma said this did not worry him much. \"If you buy something to sell it later then you are creating a bubble. We bought Bitcoin because we wanted to see how this technology moves forward,\" he said. \"Bitcoin is not the only thing that has potential. Blockchain technology is the real deal,\" he added. Blockchain, the technology underpinning Bitcoin, is a method of recording data - a digital ledger of transactions, agreements and contracts. Many banks have said it could transform the future of financial transactions. \"The disruptive potential of blockchain technology is so huge that it just cannot be banned,\" Mr Sharma said. Experts say they can understand why regulators are concerned. \"Regulators find that there is not enough transparency in the ownership and management of cryptocurrency,\" said Pranjal Sharma, an economic analyst. \"It is not that they are bull-headed or orthodox.

However, following a series of probing financial questions posed by analysts, Mr Musk decided to stop answering. \"Boring bonehead questions are not cool. Next,\" he said. \"We're going to go to YouTube. Sorry, these questions are so dry. They're killing me.\" Instead, Mr Musk - Tesla's chief executive - took questions from YouTube vlogger and journalist Galileo Russell who was listening to the call. Mr Russell hosts a YouTube talk show called HyperChange TV, dedicated to the financial side of Silicon Valley technologies. Mr Musk encouraged Mr Russell to keep asking questions, because they focused more on technology, rather than business matters. Analysts, however, indicated they would remain focused on the business details. After the call, Toni Sacconaghi of Alliance Bernstein, one of the people whose questions that Mr Musk dismissed, published a note saying the earnings call \"raises more 'boring' and 'not cool' questions than it answers\". While he said Tesla's quarterly results were largely in line with expectations, the firm's efforts to increase production of its Model 3 car continue to \"feel like a work in progress\". Mr Sacconaghi also deemed reaching profitability in the second half of the year \"a somewhat unlikely scenario\" despite Mr Musk's optimism. Tesla remains optimistic despite another record loss Is Tesla heading for trouble? Investor focus Tesla's shares were down more than 5% in late trading in New York on Thursday. Efraim Levy, an analyst at CFRA, described Mr Musk's behaviour on the call as \"erratic\" and \"impolite\", but said the fall in Tesla shares was an \"over-reaction\". Instead, he said investors should be focused on the firm's bottom line and ability to deliver on its promises. The passion that Tesla inspired, both among fans and critics, also means many investors were unfazed by Mr Musk's attitude, he added. \"The people I speak to, like shareholders… the ones that already hold it are usually willing to make the bet that he will deliver,\" he said. \"And there's an acknowledgement of either it can be a big winner, or a big loser. It probably won't just stay in the middle.\" Tesla is struggling to produce enough Model 3 cars. In the last week of April, it made just 2,271 cars, but needs to increase production to 5,000 a week to be profitable in the second half of 2018. Tesla told investors it had encountered manufacturing problems after adding \"too much automation too quickly\". As a result, Model 3 production was suspended in mid-April in a planned shutdown and the company expects a total of 10 days of downtime this quarter. Revenues jumped 26% to $3.4bn in the first quarter of the year, but the electric car maker continued to burn through cash in the first quarter. Tesla said it would cut capital spending this year to less than $3bn.",

The apology, though not the first, is part of Japanese efforts to forge closer ties with South Korea. Conservative politicians in Japan have resisted admitting Japanese atrocities throughout World War II. In a statement, the Japanese Prime Minister Naoto Kan expressed \"deep remorse\" for the annexation, 100 years ago this month. Imperial aggression Mr Kan expressed his \"feelings of deep remorse and heartfelt apology for the tremendous damage and suffering brought by the colonial rule\". \"Through the colonial rule that was against their will... the people of Korea were deprived of their nation and culture and their ethnic pride was deeply hurt,\" Mr Kan said. He said Japan wants to further improve relations with South Korea, which have often been overshadowed by the countries' shared history. The statement was issued to coincide with the centenary of Japan's annexation of the Korean peninsular, and 15 August, when South Koreans will mark their liberation in 1945. The BBC's Roland Buerk in Tokyo says that during Japan's rule, Koreans were forced to fight on the frontline, or work as slaves or in brothels set up by the military. Successive Japanese prime ministers since 1995 have apologised for the country's imperial aggression. But some conservative politicians in Japan have refused to acknowledge atrocities took place, our correspondent says.

Those deemed \"completely dependent for personal care for whatever reason\" will be offered end-of-life care rather than restorative treatment. This now excludes people with learning disabilities or cerebral palsy. The Clinical Frailty Score has been published by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) for healthcare workers in England and Wales, but the change was made by the NHS Specialised Clinical Frailty Network. In a statement NICE said the system was \"not perfect\" but was designed to support hospital medics \"during this very difficult period of intense pressure\". \"We welcome the recent clarification that the Clinical Frailty Score should not be used in certain groups,\" it said. The updated guidelines now state that it \"may not perform as well in people with stable long-term disability\" and suggests that it is not used in those cases. It also does not advise that it is used to evaluate children. The grading assesses a patient's general mobility, fitness and ability to look after themselves. Those graded \"severely frail\" are considered unlikely to survive even with medical intervention. Patients are graded between one and nine, with one being \"very fit\" and nine being \"terminally ill\". NICE suggests those graded between seven and nine can be offered palliative care. Grade seven is identified as those who are \"completely dependent for personal care, for whatever cause\". What do I need to know about the coronavirus? Hundreds of parents took to social media to complain. Donna Jackson from Hampshire is mum to Frankie, who is six and has Down's syndrome. When she saw the initial guidelines and realised that Frankie would be unlikely to qualify for restorative medical treatment, she set up a petition calling on Prime Minister Boris Johnson to intervene. It received nearly 16,000 signatures in 24 hours. \"I felt physically sick, let down and very emotional,\" she said. \"Many of our children are immune-suppressed with other health complications, so their chance of catching Covid-19 is high. Why shouldn't they be entitled to the same treatment as any other human? \"My daughter may have Down's syndrome but she brings so much to our world - she is just amazing.\" Ms Jackson said she was \"over the moon\" about the change and intended to remove the petition. Jackie Sutherland in East Sussex is mum to three children aged between 5 and 11. One child has ADHD and autism, and another has severe learning difficulties. \"When I first saw [the guidelines] I thought it was fake news,\" she said. \"I went from being sick and tearful to very, very angry very quickly.\" Ms Sutherland said she was relieved by the clarification. \"But we parents have had to be so pushy and it shouldn't have come to that,\" she said. The charity Mencap called for completely separate guidelines for those with learning disabilities. \"Healthcare professionals should not judge patients on their cognitive ability when making life or death decisions,\" chief executive Edel Harris said.",

The Police Federation said it opposes any legislation which proposes an amnesty for any crime, no matter who was responsible. They said it would be a \"shameful act of betrayal\" to link former officers with terrorists in legacy debates. The Police Federation made the comments to delegates at the association's annual conference on Thursday. Earlier this month, Northern Ireland's former director of public prosecutions, Barra McGrory QC, told the BBC he believed it was time to halt prosecutions for Troubles killings because of the difficulty obtaining convictions. 'Monstrous injustice' Mark Lindsay, the federation chairman, said such an approach would be unacceptable. \"This organisation is totally opposed to any legislation which proposes an amnesty for any crime,\" he said. \"Any crimes, whether committed by police officer or terrorist from any side of the divide.\" He said society must now decide whether the solution is \"a political solution or a criminal justice solution\". \"If justice is to be done fairly, then society must move away from rumour, story-telling and political agenda and deal only with facts in law,\" he added. \"It would be the most monstrous injustice to our murdered men and women if we were to accept some half-baked idea that resulted in the names of our colleagues being sacrificed for the sake of political expediency. That would be the ultimate insult.\" Mr Lindsay also criticised the use of the word collusion \"without either legal definition or proof\". He described the use of the definition as an attempt \"to retrospectively criminalise policing and officers, both serving and retired.\" 'Havoc and misery' The federation chairman told delegates the actions of police officers had prevented Northern Ireland descending into anarchy. \"Our colleagues did what was right,\" he added. \"They must not be treated the same as the people who pulled the trigger or planted the bomb.\" Mr Lindsay said they had saved tens of thousands of lives, unlike those who had \"wrought havoc and misery\". \"So, it would be intolerable and massively offensive if their good names were to be used in the same breath as the killers who sought 'parity of esteem' by using a warped parity of misery and pain,\" he said. \"A disrespectful and shameful act of betrayal.\" The Federation has also called on the government to provide funding to recruit hundreds of additional police officers and vehicles to cope with new border security arrangements as a result of Brexit. Mr Lindsay said the PSNI will have to provide protection for customs officers and other agencies working in the border area because they would be a target for dissident republicans.",

Failings were highlighted after the 2008 death of Khyra Ishaq, seven. Councillor Len Clark, head of children's social care, said \"more needs to be done\". Eighteen months ago the council was told by the government it must improve. Mr Clark said he was leading an immediate \"re-alignment\" of the service. Earlier this month, the head of children's services said he would retire in 2011. The announcement came just weeks before a Serious Case Review into Khyra's death was due to be published. She starved to death at a house in Handsworth and weighed just 2st 9lb when she was found. Her mother and her partner were jailed earlier this year after they admitted her manslaughter. Ofsted inspectors contacted children and young people receiving services, front-line managers, health professionals, senior officers including the director of children's services as part of their report. They also reviewed 42 case files for children and young people. 'Largely unaware' Their report said: \"Although some improvements have been recently made in some key areas by social care services and by partner agencies, including most of those areas required by the Government Improvement Notice that was issued in February 2009, some key and important deficiencies remain. \"Quality assurance systems, including supervision, fail to identify the major weaknesses in casework in too many cases.\" They were also critical of the Birmingham Safeguarding Children Board (BSCB) - which agrees how services and professionals should work together in the city - for being \"pre-occupied\" by 20 serious case reviews which have been undertaken over the last four years. Other areas inspectors highlighted were \"serious deficiencies\" in management and practice as well as the sharing and availability of information across the various partnerships. \"Managers are unable to establish if their service is complying with statutory requirements and are largely unaware of the quality of the service,\" the report said. The council must immediately ensure that there is a detailed understanding of the deficits in current practice and address with the courts the \"unacceptably long timescales\" for the completion of care proceedings within the next three months. But inspectors said arrangements for planning, case review and recording were adequate overall and there were \"good examples\" of multi-agency front-line working. 'No quick fix' Mr Clark said: \"We know we are not good enough yet, we know more needs to be done and we know what we have to do to improve. \"But there is no quick-fix solution to the problems faced in an authority the size of Birmingham. \"Birmingham has a track record of turning around services and there is determined political will to resolve this issue and achieve our goal - a world-class children's social care service.\" Last week the council said it estimated it will have to make £230m of savings during the next four years. In February, it announced up to 2,000 jobs could be axed during the next financial year.

Parent company Whirlpool said eight million affected dryers had been sold in the last 11 years, including five million in the UK. So far, 70,000 cases had been resolved. Other customers are facing a long wait for a visit. Some have reported an eight-week waiting list. \"Given the large number of dryers affected, we currently have a wait time of many weeks before the repair service can be completed,\" the company, which has 1,000 engineers, said. \"This is not up to our high standard of service and we are working to address it.\" More than three million people are being written to about the safety notice, with 1.8 million expected to receive letters in the next two to three weeks. Online checker Whirlpool bought manufacturer Indesit, including the Hotpoint, Indesit and Creda brands, in October 2014. Investigations into reports of fires led eventually to the huge programme of alerts and repairs announced in November. The company is asking owners to check whether their machine is one of those affected and, if so, to contact the company through Hotpoint's dedicated website or the matching Indesit site. The model number, usually found on the back of the dryer door, can be entered in the online checker. If action is needed, an engineer will visit to mend the machine - a process that the company said could take an hour. Letters The company has written to 1.5 million customers so far, and expects to contact a further 1.8 million by the start of February. The company said a substantial number of the millions of dryers sold over the last 11 years would have been replaced or scrapped. So far, more than 625,000 customers have registered for a repair, the company said. With many facing a lengthy wait, the company said it was offering discounts on new products for those whose appliance was more than two years old. While waiting for a repair, owners are being advised not to use their dryer when they are out of the house or asleep, and to clean the filter after every cycle. Register warning Earlier this month, charity Electrical Safety First urged shoppers to register their electrical products with the manufacturer in order to receive details of any recalls. It said faulty appliances, in general, caused £41.6m of damage in the UK every year and 46 deaths were caused each year by electrical fires. Since 2011 there have been more than 300 different recalled electrical items, and the charity said that the success rate for recalling items in the UK was rarely higher than 10% to 20%. \"We know electrical products are high on shopping lists this sale season so we are urging the public to keep their families and homes safe by making a habit of registering a new product as soon as they get it home,\" said Emma Apter, of Electrical Safety First. \"People may think it's too much hassle or there is no benefit of providing contact details but an unregistered appliance can be a hidden danger in homes as it's difficult for manufacturers to trace them.\"",

            "input": "By Mark LowenBBC News, Srebrenica But then catch wind of his story and it is clear this Dutchman is not one to follow convention. A former soldier, he served with the UN force in Srebrenica during the Bosnian war, in which 100,000 people died in fighting between the country's ethnic Serbs, Croats and Bosniaks (Bosnian Muslims). In the summer of 1995, at the end of his tour, the town bore witness to Europe's worst act of mass murder since World War II. Srebrenica had been declared a UN safe zone, to which thousands of Bosniaks had fled during the conflict. But the Bosnian Serb army easily overran the lightly-armed Dutch force there. Bosniak women were boarded onto buses, and taken to safety. Men and boys were either led off to be killed, or shot as they tried to flee through the forest. The UN says more than 7,000 people were murdered in five days. After witnessing the barbarity of that time, it might seem inconceivable that anyone would want to return to this still unhappy place. But 15 years on, Mr Zomer is moving back to Srebrenica with his family. 'No stress' He is building a house in the mountains around the area where the killings took place, which the Dutch soldiers were widely blamed for failing to prevent. \"I have history here - bad or good,\" Mr Zomer tells me as we walk through the lush meadow around his house. \"It's a part of me. But that's not why I came. \"I chose Srebrenica because I wanted forests, mountains and no stress.\" He tells me he is often asked if guilt motivated his return. \"Absolutely not,\" he says. \"We did more than we could for the people here.\" But his country has been consumed with national guilt ever since the massacre. The Netherlands has struggled to accept what happened under the watch of its men, blamed for their passive approach. An independent report in 2002 criticised both the Netherlands and the UN, prompting the resignation of the entire Dutch government. Mr Zomer recalls how he was affected by post-traumatic stress, but says that returning is a way to confront the past. \"When you come here and local people say 'thank you that you tried to protect my family in '95', all the bad feelings are gone,\" he says. Reconciliation Across Srebrenica, there are many stories of those trying to move on in their different ways. But chronic unemployment keeps the local population stuck in the past, living among buildings still riddled with bullet holes. For those lucky enough to find work, there is a sense that employment can foster reconciliation. On the outskirts of town, vast machines are at work in the Cimos car parts factory. Of the 100 workers, 77 are Bosniaks, and the rest Bosnian Serbs. The factory made no profit last year, but aims simply to give work to locals. Ivica Simic, an ethnic Serb employee, takes time away from the soldering iron to tell me about the friendly atmosphere here. \"At the beginning it felt uncomfortable,\" he says. \"But now we're all friends and we play football together.\" Almedina Jasarevic, a 23-year-old Bosniak worker, says she has no problems with the Serbs in the factory. \"They're here to make money, just like me. We all get along,\" she assures me. But, as our conversation turns to her father and brother who were killed in the massacre, she drops her guard and the tears come. \"How can you forgive when you only remember your family through photographs?\" she asks. \"The Serbs talk and laugh with you as though nothing happened. They know what they did. \"They're not ashamed of it - and they should be.\" 'The truth' But that is rejected by many Serbs here, who say they have been unjustly vilified. Mladen Grujicic works for a local association helping the families of Serb victims of the war, who he says have been forgotten. He believes Srebrenica cannot move on until what he calls \"the truth\" is established. \"The Serb people are portrayed in the media as committing genocide, but it isn't so,\" he tells me. \"No Serbs contest that a crime happened in Srebrenica, but they're insulted when the numbers are manipulated. I don't agree that 7,000 or 8,000 people were killed, because the Muslims themselves don't agree,\" he says. I ask what he makes of the findings of organisations that identify the victims through DNA analysis. \"Nobody trusts those foreign commissions,\" he says. \"Besides, everyone focuses on July 1995 but not the years before that. The first victim in Srebrenica was a Serb.\" The facts of Bosnia's devastating war are still disputed, because each side has its own truth. But the result is continued segregation and a population trapped by painful memories. At the biggest cemetery near Srebrenica, diggers prepare the ground for another 700 victims discovered in mass graves, who will be reburied on Sunday. With so many reminders - and such raw wounds - it is hard to escape the dark clouds of 1995 that still choke this little Bosnian town.",

            "input": "By Jonathan MarcusDefence and diplomatic correspondent Victory in Europe - or VE day - was clearly not the final chapter of the conflict. Japan remained to be fully defeated. But it was, nonetheless, a major milestone and marked an essential step towards ushering in a new kind of global order. The US emerged from the conflict as a military superpower, having stolen a march on Moscow in terms of the development of nuclear weapons - henceforth the prime currency of global strategic power. But the Russians soon caught up. Their decision to retain control over much of Eastern Europe dashed some of the more ambitious hopes for a less confrontational new order. This prompted the creation of Nato and a seemingly permanent military and diplomatic linkage between the US and Western Europe. As journalist and historian Anne Applebaum noted in a Rusi webinar this week, it \"created the idea of 'the West'; a values-based alliance system not just about borders but about ideas too\". But it wasn't just Nato. As Professor Michael Clarke underlines, there was a whole network of institutions. \"Very little was left of the pre-war structure of international institutions,\" he says, \"and there was a conscious understanding - even more than in 1919 - that it was necessary to build a 'global order' from the wreckage.\" The UN \"was the keystone achievement; then the Bretton Woods economic system; the IBRD (World Bank), and the IMF\". The UK was influential in much of this but US power, he says, was decisive. \"Almost every international institution depended on US interest in, and support for, their establishment. From that clutch of Western-dominated organisations,\" he argues, \"a very distinctive 'rules-based international order' evolved during the growth decades of the 50s and 60s. That rules-based order is now under real pressure because its political underpinnings are significantly changing.\" The reason why is part and parcel of our everyday news agenda. It is a rising China; the shift of economic power to Asia and the Far East; it's the rising populist trends even in many Western democracies. Look at the clear tensions within Nato for example, prompted by President Donald Trump's questioning of its value to Washington, and the rise of a more authoritarian style of government in Alliance countries like Turkey and Hungary. Anne Applebaum notes that in the US an isolationist strand in foreign policy has come to dominate the Republican Party. There are cracks, she argues, in the Western value system and generational change means that few if any politicians have real roots in the immediate post-war era. Ignorance of contemporary history is another problem. China did not just arrive on the scene in recent times. It was after all one of the original permanent members of the UN Security Council. \"The US always felt a special concern for China before and then during the war,\" Michael Clarke told me. It is not much remembered now, but he says \"the US always viewed pre-communist China as a major power for the new world and one that would naturally counter-balance the old imperial empires of Britain and France. \"That,\" he says, \"was why the US was so traumatised when it 'lost' China to the Communists in 1949. It did not get over that until 1972, and may now be falling back into another syndrome of 'disillusionment' over China's role in the world.\" Professor Lawrence Freedman of King's College agrees, but stresses that during the Cold War it was \"a different China issue.\" Unlike today, 20th century China was not seen as an economic and technological threat. Indeed, as Michael Clarke told me, Washington's relative decline is more a symptom than a cause of the end of the post-war order. However, he believes that \"Washington is now acting to accelerate it quite precipitously\". \"The new, emerging 'world order',\" he says, \"is based on the simple fact that more than half the world's population now live within a circle that can be drawn around India, China and South East Asia.\" \"That drives the economic geography of the world, and that, in turn, eventually translates itself into national political power and thence into international political structures.\" So what, if anything, is going to change in the wake of the Covid-19 crisis? Michael Clarke argues that the post-pandemic world will not cease to be the 'Asian Century', but its effects will likely create some real disjunctures for the coming decade. In his view, \"China will be a long-term loser from this crisis, both in political reactions to its handling of the issue and in national reassessments of resilience and supply chains that rely so heavily on China\". It is probably premature to make any fundamental assessment of what the post-Covid-19 international system will look like. Safe to say the sense of public service and solidarity that emerged from WW2 carried over into the post-war settlement. It would be nice if something similar took hold now, but all the signs are that sadly, this is unlikely to be the case.",

There are signs that the wave of change in the Middle East is having an effect here. Last month, a demonstration took place in the old market in Damascus. Angered by an altercation between the police and a market trader, hundreds gathered around to stop the policemen's heavy handed response. The video quickly made the rounds on YouTube. \"Thieves, thieves,\" people shouted at the police. \"Syrians shouldn't be humiliated,\" they chanted. Emboldened Scenes like this are almost unheard of here, but Syrians - especially the youth - seem to have a newfound confidence. They are unhappy with the tough economic outlook and the lack of political freedoms. On the day of the demonstration, the minister of interior personally went over to talk to the protesters. The policemen who attacked the trader were punished. \"There is a wide gap between the government and the people in Syria,\" says Mr Zakaria, while sipping his coffee and surfing the news at a downtown internet cafe. \"We need to regain trust in the government… To start with, we need better living conditions and fair distribution of the country's wealth,\" he adds. At a nearby fruit and vegetable market, buyers and sellers are fighting over food prices. No one is satisfied. \"I can barely get my bread,\" one of the sellers shouts above his customers. \"I fought the Israelis in 1973, and now I am humiliated by the police. \"Why should I take it?\" Cosmetic changes? The government has taken several measures in the wake of Tunisia and Egypt to reduce the cost of basic goods, especially food. There have been grants for the poor, and reports that civil servants have been instructed to treat citizens with respect. But Syria suffers from corruption that goes all the way up the system. The government is stepping up campaigns to fight it, but some figures close to the regime remain untouched. The US Treasury has accused Syria's most powerful businessman, Rami Makhlouf, of involvement in corruption. It describes him as a \"regime insider [who] improperly benefits from and aids the public corruption of Syrian regime officials\". Mr Makhlouf, who is the president's cousin, has rejected the accusations. But many here believe that, without the rule of law, any change will be cosmetic. Still, there is the sense on the streets of Damascus that demonstrations will not be seen in the capital anytime soon. There were calls last month for a \"day of rage\" - mainly organised by exiled opposition groups - but no-one showed up. Recently, a second call for a day of rage was sent out on Facebook. No date has been set. The absence of any real opposition inside the country and fear of the security services were blamed for their lack of success. So far, there have been few calls for President Bashar al-Assad to step down. Although Syria faces similar problems as Egypt and Tunisia, the young president enjoys popularity here. Since inheriting power from his father in 2000, he has introduced gradual reforms that have helped to revive the once stagnant economy and open up the media. That has been enough to satisfy many. \"Any change should come from inside and according to people's needs, not from any external pressure,\" says Wadah Abed Rabboh, editor-in-chief of the pro-government al-Watan newspaper. He admits that change was slow to come, but says more reform is in the works, including a new multi-party system. Currently, Syria is run by a one-party system and has been under emergency law since 1963. Political activity and freedom of expression are severely curtailed. Thousands are reported to be imprisoned for their political views and many others are banned from travelling. Last week, dozens of young sympathisers of the Libyan protests held a peaceful demonstration in Damascus. It only took one person to violate the security instructions and several people were brutally beaten by the police. Some were arrested, but released shortly after. \"We need political reforms, fair and free elections, and we need to be part of building our country,\" says Mr Zakaria. President Assad's second term will end in 2014. And this year, Syria is due to hold municipal and parliamentary elections. Many people now believe there is a golden opportunity for change and for a peaceful transition to a democratic system.",

The so-called Zombieload vulnerability follows the disclosure of the earlier Spectre, Meltdown and Foreshadow bugs last year. The latest flaw could theoretically allow an attacker to spy on tasks being handled by any Intel Core or Xeon-branded central processing unit (CPU) released since 2011. Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud are among the major cloud computing platforms to power their data centres with the technology. They have taken steps to avoid their clients noticing any impact or being put at risk. But the tech giants may need to invest in extra computer servers if the software patches involved take a major toll on performance. 'Complex undertaking' Zombieload was discovered by researchers at Graz University of Technology in Austria and KU Leuven university in Belgium. They said it could allow hackers to steal sensitive data or provide the means to unscramble encrypted files. \"[This could affect] user-level secrets, such as browser history, website content, user keys, and passwords, or system-level secrets, such as disk encryption keys,\" they explained. They added that it was currently unclear whether any such attack would leave a trace, or if anyone had actually exploited the flaw to date. Intel has said that it believes that carrying out such an attack would be \"a very complex undertaking\" but is recommending that users download security updates from Microsoft, Apple and Linux-based operating system providers that will address the issue. The chip-maker has indicated that the biggest performance hit is likely to involve data centre servers handling tasks that use the programming language Java. One graph shows such activity running at 81% of the speed it used to, once a software patch has been applied. But Apple has warned that its own tests have shown as much as a 40% reduction in performance when Macs handle certain computing-intensive workloads. Claims that earlier patches to address Spectre and Meltdown would make people's computers feel sluggish proved to be largely overstated, although some users have reported problems.

The bank had an operating profit of £317m though that was wiped out by bad loan charges of almost £1.8bn. The bank said about £1bn of those charges related to the establishment of an internal bad bank which will run off property loans over a three-year period. Ulster Bank has also given details of the outcome of a review of its operations which has been aimed at finding \"a sustainable business model\". The bank said it would become more customer-focused and agile. Property crash Ulster is the largest bank in Northern Ireland and the third biggest in the Republic of Ireland. It suffered badly in the island-wide property crash and has been the worst-performing part of RBS in recent years. In a statement, RBS chief executive Ross McEwen said Ulster Bank in Northern Ireland would become more closely integrated with RBS's main UK business. He said there were \"meaningful synergies in terms of investment, costs and customer experience from doing this\". \"It is essential if we are to provide a more appealing and compelling service to our customers in Northern Ireland under the Ulster Bank brand,\" he said. He said the bank was exploring \"further opportunities\" to transform its business in the Republic of Ireland with the aim of being a \"compelling challenger\" to AIB and Bank of Ireland. Mr McEwen said the bank would finalise its plans in the coming months and emphasised it was about a change in business strategy, not a withdrawal from the market. Mortgages The Dublin-based part of the bank has faced greater problems than the Northern Ireland division. It has had particular issues with domestic mortgages. A much higher percentage of customers in the Republic of Ireland are having trouble repaying their mortgages compared to Northern Ireland. It also has a very large number of customers on tracker mortgages, which are tied to the European Central Bank (ECB) base rate, often for the lifetime of the mortgage. With the rate at historically low levels, and unlikely to increase soon, it has caused problems. Trackers are mostly loss-making as the interest charged is less than the banks' cost of funding.",

Entertainment Weekly's Darren French called it \"as much fun as getting your head examined\".

He called the performances of Stone and Hill \"career highs\", adding: \"The beautifully made \"Maniac\" plunges viewers into a fictional world that's both divergent from our own and instantly recognisable - and then reinvents itself several times over, skittering across time, space and genre to tell a story of connection that feels urgent and deeply, painfully human.\" \"As a trial of something new, \"Maniac\" passes every test. \"Its eagerness to expose unexpected angles is its great gift.\" Allison Keene at Collider was cautiously complimentary, calling the vision of the show \"messy\" but said \"it can be beautiful in its details\". \"The script is uneven, but when it lands it does so with panache. The way that Japanese influences permeate everything in the lab (and outside of it) is very unique to a sci-fi story like this, as are the aforementioned analogue details.\" She concluded that enjoyment of the show may come down to personal preference. \"It leaves the series as a rambling journey that some will find charming and others frustrating. 'Peculiar, original series' \"Both are correct, so ultimately your enjoyment of the series may come down to your tolerance for it when it meanders and loses all its energy and seems to have completely lost the plot.\" Indie Wire's Ben Travers had conflicting thoughts about the show. \"Maniac is a peculiar, original series in almost every way. \"Intimate to the point of feeling very small, yet stuffed with more grand existential ideas than it can ultimately coalesce.\" He also pointed to the writing and directing of Patrick Somerville and Cary Joji Fukunaga, and said their \"kaleidoscopic vision comes to life in fits and starts. \"The many tonal shifts aren't always well-finessed, but the star-studded, wildly ambitious miniseries serves up enough brilliant flourishes to leave a mark.\" Follow us on Facebook, on Twitter @BBCNewsEnts, or on Instagram at bbcnewsents.

Residents have called for an end to the raucous parties, which they say have made their lives a \"misery\". One resident said anti-social behaviour has occurred, on average, every other weekend for the last three years. Jen Cameron, who lives in Canford Cliffs, said: \"We've had an onslaught of noise [and] alcohol-fuelled behaviour. \"It's screaming, it's shouting, it's kicking things over.

A number of property owners use Deluxe Holiday Homes to rent out their properties when they are not there. The company's portfolio includes houses in Canford Cliffs, Sandbanks, Branksome, Lilliput and Ferndown.

Two million people signed a petition calling for it to be axed, and the production company was attacked with Molotov cocktails last month. A judge temporarily banned the film on Wednesday to appease its critics. But Supreme Court president Dias Toffoli said on Thursday that Netflix should be allowed to continue streaming the show, stating that freedom of speech was fundamental in a democracy. \"One cannot suppose that a humorous satire has the ability to weaken the values of the Christian faith, whose existence is traced back more than two thousand years, and which is the belief of the majority of Brazilian citizens,\" the judge said. Why has the film caused uproar? The parody film, which was run as a Christmas special, was created by Brazilian YouTube comedy group Porta dos Fundos. Many of the country's conservative Christians were angered by the portrayal of Jesus bringing home a boyfriend named Orlando to meet his family, while Mary and Joseph plan him a surprise 30th birthday party. On Christmas Eve, a group attacked Porta dos Fundos's office in Rio de Janeiro with fire bombs. One man suspected of having been part of the attack has fled to Russia, and Interpol are working to arrest him. Why was it banned in the first place? A judge in Rio de Janeiro ordered Netflix to take the film down on Wednesday. Judge Benedicto Abicair said his temporary decision would appease angry Christians until a final decision was made by a higher court. \"Exhibiting the 'artistic production'... may cause graver and more irreparable damage than its suspension,\" the judge said. Porta dos Fundos said in a statement that it \"opposed any act of censorship, violence, illegality, authoritarianism\" and would continue to air its work. Brazil's far-right President Jair Bolsonaro once said he would rather have a dead son than a gay son.

Rape victims will be able to refer themselves for examinations throughout Scotland. Just two health boards currently have self-referral procedures in place. The move is part of efforts to end examinations within police stations. It follows criticism from an independent watchdog, which said services in Scotland lagged behind the rest of the UK. The primary purpose of such examinations is to ensure victims of sexual crime receive medical attention, while forensic evidence is also gathered for possible prosecution. The majority of health boards require crimes to be reported to police before victims can access forensic medical examinations. Only NHS Tayside and NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde currently accept self-referrals. Health Secretary Jeane Freeman said: \"By ensuring the choice to self-refer is available consistently across Scotland, we hope that people who might currently be reluctant to make a police report are encouraged to access appropriate NHS services and get the support they need at a time of significant trauma.\" Any evidence collected is stored, allowing victims to decide whether to lodge a police report in their own time. The bill also ensures victims retain control over any samples and property held by the health board, and will be able to request that evidence is destroyed. Specialist nurses The Scottish government has also announced £200,000 will be provided by the rape and sexual assault taskforce to develop the role of nurse sexual offence examiners. This will allow nurses to be trained in performing a forensic examination, as well as giving evidence in court. Rape Crisis Scotland welcomed the bill, saying it was an important step forward in transforming services for sexual assault survivors. Chief executive Sandy Brindley said: \"Sexual crimes are fundamentally abuses of power and about taking someone's control - which is why it is so important and encouraging that this bill recognises and works to counter this by making sure that survivors are in control of procedures and processes around their evidence and property. \"Adopting a trauma-informed approach that focuses on the individual, on their needs and their health care is vital, and an important element of this is moving to using nurses as forensic examiners.\" A new postgraduate qualification is also being developed to build multi-disciplinary workforce to support services in rural and island communities and increase the number of women available to carry out examinations.",

            "input": "According to government figures on Tuesday, the number of people who tested positive was 60,916. One in 50 people in private households in England had Covid last week - and one in 30 in London, according to estimates based on the latest data. A further 830 people have also died within 28 days of a positive test. It comes as England and Scotland announced new strict lockdowns, with people told to stay at home. At a press conference at Downing Street on Tuesday, Boris Johnson said 1.3 million people had now been vaccinated in the UK - including 23% of over 80s in England, some 650,000 people. But he said more than one million people were currently infected - with the number of patients in hospitals 40% higher than in the first peak. The government's chief medical adviser Prof Chris Whitty cited the Office for National Statistics' random sampling data for England as showing how widespread the virus is. \"We're now into a situation where across the country as a whole, roughly one in 50 people have got the virus, higher in some parts of the country, lower in others,\" he said. That latest estimates include: The number of new daily cases has consistently been above 50,000 since 29 December. Back in the first peak of the pandemic in the spring, the number of daily confirmed cases never went above 7,000. However, it is thought the true number of cases then was much higher but not picked up because testing capacity was limited. It was estimated there were about 100,000 new infections a day at the end of March - but there was not the testing to detect it. Hospital admissions of people with Covid-19 in England also reached another record high on Tuesday, NHS England figures show. At a hospital in Lincolnshire, a \"critical\" incident has been declared after a sharp rise in patients requiring admission. And potentially life-saving cancer operations have been put on hold at a major London NHS trust because of the number of beds taken by Covid patients. However, Cancer Research UK said such cancellations did not appear to be widespread across the country. In a statement after the case numbers were released, Public Health England medical director Yvonne Doyle said the rapid rise in cases was \"highly concerning and will sadly mean yet more pressure on our health services in the depths of winter\". After seven consecutive days of more than 50,000 cases being confirmed, the fact that more than 60,000 have been recorded should not come as a surprise. It will take a week, if not more, for the impact of lockdown to be felt. And all the evidence suggests the new variant of coronavirus, which is more transmissible than previous ones, means the impact is likely to be more limited than it was in previous ones. The figures are also a warning about what the NHS is facing. Some of this week's infections are next week's hospital admissions. About three in 10 beds are now occupied by Covid patients. In some hospitals more than six in 10 are. Hospitals are now busy making more spaces on their wards - that means cancelling planned work, including in some places cancer treatment. Boris Johnson and Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon both announced new lockdowns on Monday. Wales has been in a national lockdown since 20 December and Northern Ireland entered a six-week lockdown on 26 December. Restrictions are also being tightened further in Northern Ireland, and an order for people to stay at home will become legally enforceable from Friday. In a televised address to the nation, Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer urged the government to use the lockdown to create a \"round the clock\" vaccination programme. He also called on people to \"recapture the spirit\" of the beginning of the pandemic. At the press conference on Tuesday, Mr Johnson repeated his suggestion that there is a \"prospect\" of the lockdown being eased in mid-February. \"But you will also appreciate there are a lot of caveats, a lot of ifs built into that, the most important of which is that we all now follow the guidance,\" he said. Earlier, Cabinet Office minister Michael Gove told Sky News he could not say exactly when the lockdown in England would end, but \"as we enter March we should be able to lift some of these restrictions but not necessarily all\". Mr Whitty said the virus \"is not going to go away, just as flu doesn't go away, just as many other viruses don't go away\". \"We shouldn't kid ourselves that this just disappears with spring,\" he said. Mr Whitty said although hopefully there would be nearly no measures needed from the spring onwards, the government might have to bring in a few restrictions next winter. On Monday the UK's chief medical officers recommended the Covid threat level be increased to five - its highest level. Although the new variant is now spreading more rapidly than the original version, it is not believed to be more deadly.",

As well as the solar panels, there would be 25 battery storage units on site to harness the power, with underground cables sending electricity to a substation. Members of Denbighshire's planning committee unanimously backed the proposals, but said it would now go to the Welsh Government as a development of national significance. A local impact review will also analyse the finalised proposals, which are likely to face a public inquiry by a planning inspector, according to the Local Democracy Reporting Service.

The Royal Cornwall Hospital Trust said it had apologised to the family. 'Neglectful in protection' An inquest in Truro last year was told when Mrs Congdon, who also had who had multiple sclerosis, was treated on an orthopaedic ward, four other people with C. difficile were being treated in the hospital. The coroner ruled she probably contracted the bug while being treated in hospital. Truro solicitors Coodes said the firm was pleased to have secured compensation for the family. But Bob Beard of the firm added: \"However, we were not dealing with a broken limb or injury from which recovery was able to be made. \"This is the loss of a life because RCHT were neglectful in protecting Mrs Congdon from infection. \"Despite living for many years with multiple sclerosis, Rosemary Congdon enjoyed an active life. This was cut short by C-diff.\" Charity donation The Royal Cornwall Hospital Trust said the settlement was agreed in November 2010 and that it had expressed its sympathies to Mr Congdon's husband.

            "input": "By Hannah RichardsonBBC News education reporter One in five music services, which support schools, expect councils will completely axe their grants and half fear cuts of up to 50%, a survey suggests. The Federation of Music Services warned that some services which help provide subsidised lessons could collapse. The government said all pupils should be able to learn an instrument or sing. It has commissioned a review of music provision in schools, being carried out by Classic FM head Darren Henley, but this is not due to report until January. However, local authorities in England which face cuts of about a third, get their funding allocations in early December. It is clear from the federation's survey of 158 music services in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, that many are already planning cuts with some preparing to axe the funding completely. Local authorities provide just one strand of funding for school music services, with the rest coming from central government grants and parental contributions. But the expected cuts come as schools face a huge shake-up of their budgets. A number of schemes dedicated to supporting school music face cuts or being channelled into a general schools budget for redistribution. The Department for Education later said it had not yet taken a decision on the main £82.5m Music Standards Grant and would not do so until the Henley review had reported. But it would not guarantee that the money would be ring-fenced within schools. 'Steep decline' Federation of Music Services (FMS) chief executive Virginia Haworth-Galt said: \"We recognise the pressure many local authorities are under but would urge them to them to hold back their plans until we know the results of the Henley Review. \"Music and our children's education are too important to be jettisoned like this particularly when we know that 91% of the public back music education in schools.\" She added that the FMS would be very disappointed if the music grant went directly into schools' budgets without any ring-fencing for music education. \"This situation occurred in the early 1990s with disastrous results; music went into a steep decline as the monies were spent elsewhere in schools. This is a music lesson that should not be repeated,\" she added. Conductor of the Bedforshire Youth Orchestra Michael Rose says music services in his area, Central Bedfordshire, are set to have budgets and teaching staff cut to zero. He said as music services were non-statutory they were particularly vulnerable in the present climate of cuts. He said: \"If funding is lost in this way music lessons will become the sole preserve of the middle classes.\" He added: \"Instrumental teaching in the county's schools is provided by a central staff of highly qualified instrumental teachers. It has resulted in literally many thousands of children having the experience of learning an instrument.\" Schools minister Nick Gibb said too many children in state schools were denied the opportunity to learn to play a musical instrument. This was why he had launched a major review of how music is taught and enjoyed in schools to help make sure all pupils get an opportunity to learn to play an instrument and to sing. Its recommendations would determine how future funding could be best used in the future, he added. 'Shocking' \"Evidence tells us that learning an instrument can improve young people's numeracy and literacy skills and their behaviour. \"It is also simply unfair that the pleasure of musical discovery should be the preserve of those whose parents can afford it.\" \"As part of that review recommendations will be made to determine how future funding can best be used,\" he said. He added that decisions on central funding for music would not be made until after the review had reported. General secretary of the National Union of Teachers Christine Blower said the cuts to music in schools were even more shocking in light of Michael Gove's announcement that he would be holding a review into music education in schools, claiming that it was a \"sad fact\" that too few state school children learnt an instrument. She added: \"Music in schools makes a contribution way beyond the straightforward exercise of learning an instrument. \"Children and young people can experience coming together in a creative environment which benefits them in other aspects of their school life.\"",

The release has not been confirmed by China. Tensions have been high since a deadly clash in a disputed area between Indian and Chinese forces in June. In a statement released on Saturday, an Indian army spokesman said the five youths from the isolated border state of Arunachal Pradesh had \"inadvertently strayed across the border while hunting\". He added that this was not uncommon given the long and at times unmarked border between the two countries. Although there has been no official word China's state-run Global Times newspaper quoted an unnamed security source as saying the group were \"intelligence personnel disguised as hunters\". The source said the men had intentionally crossed the border and were \"detained, warned and educated\" by the Chinese military. The Indian army activated a military hotline designed to help defuse border tensions with China earlier this week, following reports that the group had been kidnapped. China's foreign ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian did not give details at the time, but said that his country had \"never recognised so-called 'Arunachal Pradesh', which is China's south Tibet region\". What's the background? Relations between the two countries had been deteriorating since June, when at least 20 Indian soldiers were killed in a skirmish in the disputed Ladakh border area. China did not comment on reports that it had also suffered casualties. There have been flare-ups since, but on Thursday India's foreign minister and his Chinese counterpart met in Russia, where they reached an agreement to de-escalate tensions from their shared border. Both countries regularly accuse each other of instigating the fight in the Himalayan region of Ladakh by crossing the border, a poorly demarcated line that snakes through the inhospitable terrain. Despite several rounds of military and diplomatic talks, the nuclear-armed neighbours have failed to resolve their border disputes. There are several reasons why tensions have risen recently - but competing strategic goals lie at the root, and both sides blame each other. The two countries have fought only one war, in 1962, when India suffered a humiliating defeat.",

The other charges that she faces include \"assault and battery\" and violating the city's health and safety laws. It said the investigation into the incident on the afternoon of Sunday 7 March was ongoing. Allegations made by Uber driver Subhakar Khadka, 32, include the refusal by his passengers to wear a face mask when requested, an attempt by one of the suspects to steal his mobile phone and the possible use of pepper spray, police said. Restrictions in place in San Francisco to help prevent the spread of Covid-19 include wearing a mask \"to cover your mouth and nose\" when within 2m (6ft) of someone who is not a member of your household, and when using public or \"business\" transportation. What does the footage show? The footage, captured by a camera in the front of Mr Khadka's vehicle, shows three female passengers sitting in the back, two of whom at one point remove their face masks. The third passenger has not yet been named. One of them later appears to lean forward and cough towards Mr Khadka. She then reaches for a mobile phone in the front, to which he replies: \"Don't touch my property.\" The same woman then removes Mr Khadka's own face mask, accusing him of driving them \"into the middle of nowhere\". Reporting the incident, Mr Khadka told police that he had stopped driving just minutes after picking up his three passengers after noticing that one of them was not wearing a mask. He said that an \"altercation\" had occurred when he told them that he could not continue until they were correctly wearing their face coverings. When the three stepped out of the vehicle, one of them \"reached in to an open window and sprayed what is believed to be pepper spray\" towards him, police said. In a statement published on its website, the SFPD said the behaviour captured on camera portrayed \"a callous disregard for the safety and wellbeing of an essential service worker in the midst of a deadly pandemic\". \"We take this conduct very seriously in San Francisco, and we're committed to ensuring that justice is done in this case,\" the statement added.

It is thought to be the first such movie ever captured by a wholly British-built spacecraft. TechDemoSat - funded part by government and part by manufacturer Surrey Satellite Technology Limited (SSTL) - is a testbed for spacecraft systems. The idea is that it proves technologies so that they can then be sold to other companies and space agencies around the world for their missions. The low-cost camera that took this video incorporates all \"off the shelf\" components. SSTL envisages it being used on future spacecraft to monitor any systems on a satellite that move, including deployable structures such as solar panels. Global view In this particular application, the lens is trained on the satellite's antenna pointing mechanism. At the end of TechDemoSat's life, the 157kg platform will put out a large \"drag sail\" to help speed its return to Earth, ensuring it is not left littering the space environment. Engineers hope to be able to see the edge of this sail structure in the field of view, also. \"In the future, we see such cameras becoming a standard on spacecraft so that you can see precisely what's happening,\" explained Luis Gomes, director of Earth Observation and Science at SSTL. TDS-1 was launched on a Russian Soyuz-2 rocket from Baikonur in Kazakhstan on 8 July. The video begins in darkness about 30 seconds after the platform has come off the rocket's Fregat upper-stage. The satellite is tumbling at this stage. Controllers must work over the following hours to put TDS-1 in a stable, spinning configuration. First into view is the Sun - a white flare with a black dot at the centre where the image is saturated by the intensity of the light. Then comes the Earth - clouds hovering above the ocean, south of French Polynesia. Tech risk Watch for the gold-coloured object that moves from left to right roughly two-thirds of the way through the sequence. This is the Fregat stage at a distance of about 60m. Very quickly, it is followed by a white dot, which is very likely one of the other six satellites launched on the same flight. Public funding for TDS-1 - about £7m - came mostly from the government's Technology Strategy Board. SSTL then matched the finance. Ministers view satellites as one of the \"eight great technologies\" that can help re-balance the British economy. The government is also putting money into another small satellite to be built by SSTL called NovaSAR. This will be a radar spacecraft, which will be able to view the Earth through all weathers. Surrey hopes to expand its export business with this new platform. Key elements of the radar instrument are being de-risked by being tested on TDS-1. \"The altimeter on TDS-1 uses the same 'front end' and part of the antenna that will be used on NovaSar. It uses the same amplifier technology, the same receiver technology. We'll exercise them to get the heritage and confidence that goes with that,\" said Mr Gomes.

Environment Agency money is also being used to complete the repair work at the East Pier extension in Whitby, which had to be temporarily suspended due to poor sea conditions towards the end of 2010. The council's head of technical services, John Riby, said: \"The council is optimistic it can continue to work with government departments and local stakeholders to identify the problems and to promote timely and appropriate solutions. \"These will help reduce the risk to people and property along its coastline and to monitor and collect contemporary coastal processes data which build on the knowledge we have and will inform future decisions about possible investment in coastal protection.\" Related Internet Links Scarborough Borough Council",

Oxford University said a \"careful assessment\" had revealed no safety concerns. The BBC understands that the volunteer did not receive the vaccine. Only around half the volunteers in the trial are given the actual Oxford University Covid-19 vaccine. The second group are being given an existing licensed vaccine for meningitis. Neither the participants nor their families know which vaccine they are being given. This enables the researchers to compare the results for the two groups in order to measure whether the vaccine is effective. AstraZeneca said in a statement that it could not comment on individual cases but it \"can confirm that all required review processes have been followed\". \"All significant medical events are carefully assessed by trial investigators, an independent safety monitoring committee and the regulatory authorities,\" it said. \"These assessments have not led to any concerns about continuation of the ongoing study.\" There are high hopes that the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine could be one of the first to make it onto the market. It had successful phase 1 and 2 testing, while phase 3 testing is being carried out on participants in countries including the UK, Brazil and India. Trials of the Oxford vaccine were paused last month after a reported side effect in a patient in the UK, but were resumed days later when it was deemed safe to continue. Phase 3 trials in the US remain on hold while the regulator there conducts its own assessment. A senior official was quoted by Bloomberg on Wednesday as saying he expected US trials to restart later in the week. Trial 'should continue' Brazil's health authority Anvisa said it was informed of the Brazilian volunteer's death on 19 October. Brazilian media report that the volunteer was a 28-year-old doctor who died of Covid-19 complications. They say the doctor had worked with infected patients. This has not been publicly confirmed by Anvisa. In a statement, Oxford University said: \"All significant medical incidents, whether participants are in the control group or the Covid-19 vaccine group, are independently reviewed. \"The independent review, in addition to the Brazilian regulator, have both recommended that the trial should continue,\" it said. Brazil has plans to purchase the vaccine if it is approved. The country has had nearly 5.3 million confirmed coronavirus cases - the third highest tally in the world after the US and India - and is second only to the US in terms of deaths, with nearly 155,000 registered so far, according to data collated by Johns Hopkins University.",

Small ermine moth caterpillars are thought to have formed the large communal web for their own protection. Dr Phil Sterling, from the Butterfly Conservation charity, described it as \"a very impressive infestation\". Mr Hickman, who took the pictures on Tuesday, said: \"I could see nothing but web over a large area. It went down the hedgerow, across the grass and even on to the concrete in some places. \"At first I thought it was a massive spider's web and thought 'that's a bit creepy'. But when I looked closely I saw thousands of harmless caterpillars. \"It was a good thing to see,\" he added. Mr Hickman, who lives in Misson, a village in Nottinghamshire on the border with South Yorkshire, said he never went anywhere without his camera. Dr Sterling said the number of ermine moth caterpillars \"get enormous every now and then\" and there would be tens of thousands in the hedge. However, he added there was \"no danger, no threat\" and it was merely done \"to avoid predation\". Dr Sterling said there was no need to worry about the effect on the hedgerow and though all the leaves would be stripped it would survive. \"By the end of July, it will be like the caterpillars weren't there. It will have gone from ghostly white to green again,\" he said. \"It is great spectacle to be enjoyed\", he added. Over 2,400 species of moth have been recorded in the British Isles.

He was a memorably villainous Klingon in the sixth Star Trek film and played TV anchorman Mike Wallace in 1999's The Insider. He also played Sherlock Holmes in Murder By Decree and appeared with Peter Sellers in The Return of the Pink Panther. According to reports, Plummer died peacefully at his home in Connecticut with his wife Elaine Taylor at his side. Lou Pitt, his long-time friend and manager of 46 years, remembered him as \"an extraordinary man who deeply loved and respected his profession\". \"He was a national treasure who deeply relished his Canadian roots,\" he continued. \"Through his art and humanity, he touched all of our hearts and his legendary life will endure for all generations to come. \"He will forever be with us.\" Sound of Music co-star Dame Julie Andrews said in a statement to the PA news agency: \"The world has lost a consummate actor today and I have lost a cherished friend. \"I treasure the memories of our work together and all the humour and fun we shared through the years.\" The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences, which awards the Oscars, said he \"beguiled audiences across generations\". Bafta added its condolences, praising his \"amazing work since the 50s\". The official Twitter account for The Sound of Music posted its condolences: Star Trek actor George Takei called the actor a \"giant of stage and screen\", adding: \"Rest in eternal music, Captain Von Trapp.\" Actor Eddie Marsan worked with Plummer on the 2016 film The Exception and said: \"It was like watching a master class. He had nothing to prove anymore so he was completely free, kind, funny mischievous and beautiful to watch. RIP.\" Lord of the Rings star Elijah Wood, who worked alongside Plummer on animated film 9, expressed his condolences, adding: \"What a legend.\" Plummer had a varied career across film, television and theatre, starring in productions on Broadway and with the Royal Shakespeare Company. Yet he will be forever known and loved for The Sound of Music, adapted from the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical. Plummer had ambivalent feelings towards his best-known film, which he famously renamed The Sound of Mucus in interviews. He also likened working with Andrews to \"being hit over the head with a big Valentine's Day card, every day\", though they later became great friends. He also became reconciled to the film itself, describing it in his 2008 memoir In Spite of Myself as being \"warm, touching, joyous and absolutely timeless\". Born Arthur Christopher Orme Plummer in Toronto in December 1929, Plummer grew up in Montreal as an only child and was exposed to the arts by his mother at an early age. He first studied the piano before devoting himself to acting, having decided that playing the piano professionally \"was very lonely and very hard work\". He made his debut on the New York stage role in 1954's The Starcross Story alongside the actress Mary Astor. It ran for just one performance - but did not stop him landing more stage work and then leading roles. Plummer made his film debut in 1958's Stage Struck, directed by Sidney Lumet. He was nominated for a Tony the following year and eventually won the award in 1974 for playing Cyrano de Bergerac. He won his second in 1997 for playing fellow actor John Barrymore in Barrymore. In 2017 Plummer was asked by Ridley Scott to appear in All the Money in the World, which he had already completed with Spacey. Following the allegations of sexual misconduct made against Spacey, the film's makers decided against releasing the film with his original performance. Plummer shot his scenes in a matter of days and was subsequently nominated for an Oscar, a Bafta and a Golden Globe. Scott and his wife Giannina paid tribute to Plummer, telling The Hollywood Reporter: \"What a guy. What a talent. What a life. And I was fortunate enough to work with him less than two years ago and had a wonderful experience. My heartfelt condolences go to [his wife] Elaine.

But there have been calls to boycott the event by critics of Israel's policies towards Palestinians in the occupied West Bank and Gaza. The conflict between Israel and the Palestinians has gone on for decades, and the dispute over land is at its heart. How did it start? A 100-year-old issue Britain took control of the area known as Palestine after the ruler of that part of the Middle East, the Ottoman Empire, was defeated in WW1. The land was inhabited by a Jewish minority and Arab majority. Tensions between the two peoples grew when the international community gave Britain the task of establishing a \"national home\" in Palestine for Jewish people. For Jews, it was their ancestral home, but Palestinian Arabs also claimed the land and opposed the move. Between the 1920s and 40s, the number of Jews arriving there grew, with many fleeing from persecution in Europe and seeking a homeland after the Holocaust of WWII. Violence between Jews and Arabs, and against British rule, also grew. In 1947, the UN voted for Palestine to be split into separate Jewish and Arab states, with Jerusalem becoming an international city. That plan was accepted by Jewish leaders but rejected by the Arab side and never implemented. The creation of Israel and the 'Catastrophe' In 1948, unable to solve the problem, British rulers left and Jewish leaders declared the creation of the state of Israel. Many Palestinians objected and a war followed. Troops from neighbouring Arab countries invaded. Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians fled or were forced out of their homes in what they call Al Nakba, or the \"Catastrophe\". By the time the fighting ended in a ceasefire the following year, Israel controlled most of the territory. Jordan occupied land which became known as the West Bank, and Egypt occupied Gaza. Jerusalem was divided between Israeli forces in the West, and Jordanian forces in the East. Because there was never a peace agreement - each side blamed the other - there were more wars and fighting in the decades which followed. The map today In another war in 1967, Israel occupied East Jerusalem and the West Bank, as well as most of the Syrian Golan Heights, and Gaza and the Egyptian Sinai peninsula. Most Palestinian refugees and their descendants live in Gaza and the West Bank, as well as in neighbouring Jordan, Syria and Lebanon. Neither they nor their descendants have been allowed by Israel to return to their homes - Israel says this would overwhelm the country and threaten its existence as a Jewish state. Israel still occupies the West Bank, and although it pulled out of Gaza the UN still regards that piece of land as part of occupied territory. Israel claims the whole of Jerusalem as its capital, while the Palestinians claim East Jerusalem as the capital of a future Palestinian state. Only the US recognises Israel's claim to the whole of the city. In the past 50 years Israel has built settlements in these areas, where more than 600,000 Jews now live. Palestinians say these are illegal under international law and are obstacles to peace, but Israel denies this. What's happening now? Tensions are often high between Israel and Palestinians living in East Jerusalem, Gaza and the West Bank. Gaza is ruled by a Palestinian militant group called Hamas, which has fought Israel many times. Israel and Egypt tightly control Gaza's borders to stop weapons getting to Hamas. Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank say they're suffering because of Israeli actions and restrictions. Israel say it is only acting to protect itself from Palestinian violence. For the past year, there have been violent scenes on the Gaza-Israel border. Palestinians have protested there weekly, wanting refugees to return to their former homes in what is now Israel. Israel says the protests are used as a cover to attack it. Dozens of Palestinians have been killed by Israeli troops, who say they are acting in self-defence. What are the main problems? There are a number of issues which Israel and the Palestinians cannot agree on. These include what should happen to Palestinian refugees, whether Jewish settlements in the occupied West Bank should stay or be removed, whether the two sides should share Jerusalem, and - perhaps most tricky of all - whether a Palestinian state should be created alongside Israel. Peace talks have been taking place on and off for more than 25 years, but so far have not solved the conflict. What does the future hold? In short, the situation isn't going to be sorted out any time soon. A new peace plan is being prepared by the United States, which has described it as the \"deal of the century\". No-one knows what's in it yet, but the US says it will probably reveal it in May or June 2019. However, the Palestinians say the US favours Israel and they have said they will not accept any plan put forward by the US. Israel has indicated that it will wait and see what the plan involves. If the plan works, it will end one of the world's longest-running conflicts. But if it fails, the fighting will go on. Follow Newsbeat on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.

Mr Maimane became party spokesman in 2011, regularly locking horns with the South African President, Jacob Zuma. The DA won its best-ever share of the vote in the 2014 elections, but has struggled with perceptions it primarily represents white South Africans. Mr Maimane faced party chairman Wilmot James for the job, and was elected at a party conference in Port Elizabeth. He promised cheering supporters that the DA would win power and lashed out at Mr Zuma over corruption allegations. \"Make no mistake Mr President, you will have your day in court,\" he said in his victory speech. Analysis by Andrew Harding, BBC News, Port Elizabeth Mr Maimane's predecessor, Helen Zille, made no secret of her belief that the party would never threaten the ANC's enduring grip on power if it could not finally shake off the accusation that it is a \"white\" party, representing the interests of those who have benefited from decades of racial apartheid. To that end Ms Zille had tried to parachute in a prominent figure from the country's liberation struggle, Mamphele Ramphele, as the party's new leader before the last election. That plan collapsed in acrimony almost immediately. Critics will now say that Mr Maimane's speedy ascent to the top job is another \"parachute\" job - that the 34-year-old is too young and inexperienced to deserve the position, and that his swift elevation smacks of racial tokenism. And yet, anyone watching the crowds at the conference will know that the claim that it is remains a \"white\" party is increasingly at odds with the facts. What does Maimane's opposition win mean for South Africa? Mr Maimane has advanced quickly in the party, only joining the DA in 2009. His first test will be taking on the ANC at next year's local elections. The party has governed South Africa since the end of apartheid. \"No party has a divine right to rule this country,\" said Mr Maimane in his speech. He will also have to fend off a challenge from the hard-left Economic Freedom Fighters party, which threatens the DA's position as South Africa's main opposition party. Ms Zille unexpectedly announced she would step down last month after increasing the share of the DA's vote in the 2014 poll. She told the Citizen newspaper she was \"relieved\" to no longer be leader, but would continue to campaign for the party. Who is Mmusi Maimane?",

Then came the laying of a wreath at Ireland's Garden of Remembrance for the 1916 rebels. To cap it all, she began her keynote speech at Dublin Castle by speaking in Irish. \"Wow, wow, wow,\" said the Irish President Mary McAleese in between large intakes of breath. Unlike the rest of the visit, the use of the native Irish language had not been scripted. It was not in the copy of the speech handed out to the media. Was this because it was only a last-minute decision by the Queen? Or did she want to keep it secret for maximum impact? We will probably never know. 'Backward Paddies' The front-page headline in the Irish Examiner newspaper the next day read like the title of a new movie - The Queen's Speech. Inside, the editorial page condemned the 100 violent protesters who tried to disrupt the royal visit. \"The violent protests have been attracting international publicity and fuelling those who like to stereotype us as backward Paddies protesting about grievances of a bygone age. \"Our economy is in deep trouble and we need all the international understanding we can get,\" stated the editorial. For many in Ireland, modern economics is now more important than old politics. As the Nobel Peace Prize winner John Hume used to say \"you can't eat a flag\". The United Kingdom is Ireland's biggest trading partner and good political relations make good business sense. At the same time, it would be foolish to think British-Irish relations are now perfect. It would also be naive to believe that the Queen's visit was universally popular in Ireland. For some, normal state-to-state relations can only take place once Northern Ireland is handed back to the rest of Ireland. That is not just the view of violent dissident republicans; it is the view of Sinn Fein, and with 14 out of 166 members of parliament, they are the fourth largest party in the Republic. There is no evidence that the Queen's gestures of goodwill towards Ireland and expressions of regret about aspects of the past, changed the minds of republican hardliners. 'Makes me smile' However, talking to people on the streets of Dublin and listening to radio phone-in programmes it was very clear that she wooed the undecideds. Many of those who were indifferent about the visit on Tuesday had moved from neutral to positive by Thursday. Just look at Twitter. One tweet early on Friday morning summed this up. @conor_pope Dublin wrote: \"A week ago I was a fiercly (sic) republican royal sceptic. Now everytime I seen the Queen she makes me smile. # queensvisit The feedback was not all positive. There were complaints about the huge traffic disruption caused in Dublin city centre, eyebrows were raised at the 13m euro (£11.5m) security bill and there was genuine disappointment that the Queen did not do more walkabouts and meet ordinary Irish people. It is also worth recording the fury of every photographer on Fleet Street when Her Majesty stayed well clear of the perfectly-poured pint of the black stuff at the Guinness brewery. Even the Duke did not get his lips wet, never mind don a creamy moustache. What cheered up the photographers was the chemistry between the Queen and President McAleese. There was genuine warmth between them and it shone through the lens. It is often argued that the problems between Britain and Ireland stem from the fact that the British know too little about their history and that the Irish know too much. That cannot be said of the two heads of state. By steering their way so expertly through the political minefields of recent days, they created a landmark moment in the peace process. For many people, the sight of the 85-year-old Queen, dressed in green, tentatively stepping off the plane in Dublin will live long in the memory. One small step for ma'am, one giant leap for British-Irish relations.

            "input": "The Labour leader told his conference the £2.5bn funding pledge to \"save and transform\" the NHS by 2020 would be the centrepiece of his plan for government. It will be paid for by a \"mansion tax\", a crackdown on tax avoidance and a levy on tobacco firms' market share. Labour's mission, he said, was to \"restore people's faith in the future\". In his last conference address before next year's election, the Labour leader set out a 10-year plan to build a \"world-class Britain\" and said the next eight months would be \"an interview with the British public for one of the most important jobs in the country\". In the 65-minute speech, delivered without notes, he pledged to: Mr Miliband said he would boost NHS funding without extra borrowing or asking working people to pay extra tax. The extra resources, he said, would provide for 20,000 more nurses, 8,000 more GPs, 5,000 more careworkers and 3,000 more midwives by 2020. This, he argued, would make it easier for people to get GP appointments, improve the safety of hospital patients and raise standards of home care. Mood in the hall - Political reporter Brian Wheeler The party faithful went away happy, as they always do when their leader speaks. But they were not as ecstatic as some conference audiences I have seen at the final rally before a general election. \"That was the speech of a future prime minister,\" said one delegate from Wales. \"Now he has to deliver.\" \"It was good, but why can't we have the pay rise for low paid workers now? Why wait five years?,\" added his friend. There were a few drooping eyelids in the hall during the first section of the speech, as Mr Miliband told anecdotes about people he had met - Gareth, Josephine, Rosie, etc - but the crowd woke up when he began attacking David Cameron and promising more jobs for the NHS. By my count, the Labour leader got a total of 70 rounds of applause, 15 laughs, 13 cheers and five standing ovations - two in response to his pledges on the NHS, one for a crack about Mr Cameron pandering to UKIP and, perhaps the biggest reaction of all, when he attacked the Daily Mail for saying his father \"hated Britain\". Of course he also got one at the end of his 65 minute address. As well as the proceeds of the mansion tax, the \"time to care\" fund will be paid for by a crackdown on tax loopholes used by hedge funds and other City firm, expected to raise £1.1bn and requiring tobacco firms to contribute to the cost of treating smoking-related illnesses. Mr Miliband said the £150m levy, which mirrors a measure introduced in the US in 2009, would target tobacco firms which make \"soaring profits on the back of ill health\". He said the NHS was \"creaking\" under David Cameron who, he said, \"was not fit\" to be prime minister. \"The NHS is sliding backwards under this government,\" he said. \"They are privatising and fragmenting it. Just think what it would look like after five more years of this government. It is not safe in their hands. We built the NHS, We saved the NHS... and we will transform the NHS for the future.\" The Labour leader said David Cameron had no answer to the fall in living standards since 2010. Deriding the coalition government as \"not just mediocre but one of the worst ever\", he said their time in office had brought people \"five years of sacrifice but zero years of success\". Mr Miliband said the fact 45% of voters in Scotland had voted for independence showed the country \"was not in good health\". \"So many people have lost faith in the future,\" he said. \"I've met young people who should have the brightest of futures who tell me their generation is falling into a black hole. People in England who think all politics is rubbish. National goals \"People in Scotland who wanted to leave our country because they felt they had nothing left to lose. Our task is to restore people's faith in the future.\" Among Labour's six goals by 2025 are plans to boost the take-up of apprenticeships until they match the numbers going to university, to halve number of low-paid workers and to create a million new \"green\" technology jobs. He also vowed to double the number of people getting on the property ladder by pledging to build 200,000 new homes a year by 2020. It later emerged that Mr Miliband had not delivered planned parts of the speech in which he was to promise to \"deal with our nation's debts\" and another on immigration. The Labour leader's political rivals attacked the speech, Chancellor George Osborne saying it was \"extraordinary\" there had not been a single mention of the deficit. \"If you can't fix the economy you can't fund the NHS,\" he tweeted. And Lib Dem MP Tim Farron said the speech, which was littered with first name references to ordinary people Mr Miliband had met, was not that of \"a prime minister in waiting\". Analysis by political editor Nick Robinson Today marked the start of an eight month job application. So said Ed Miliband. The role to be filled - prime minister. The decision to be taken - by you next May. The big theme of his speech was not the threats the country faces - he didn't mention the deficit once and he didn't say whether he would back RAF strikes on IS forces in Iraq or Syria - but his repeated insistence that together the country could build a better future It was a speech built on a single word - together - repeated over 50 times and a single theme - the claim that Labour, unlike the Tories, would not allow people to struggle on their own. Read Nick's blog in full The TUC praised the \"ambitious but genuinely believable agenda\" but tobacco firms reacted angrily to the proposed levy, saying they already paid more than £12bn in tax every year. \"The idea of a targeting a sole, legitimate business sector with an additional tax is totally unwarranted and unjust and should be dismissed immediately,\" Imperial Tobacco said in a statement. The British Chambers of Commerce said there had been a lack of focus on growth and business in Mr Miliband's speech, which largely steered clear of the economy. The Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors said a mansion tax would catch family homes and depress the property market in London, which Land Registry figures suggest accounted for nearly 90% of all sales of more than £2m last year.",

The Welsh Liberal Democrat AM added: \"The reality is for some of our young people the school summer holidays can be a difficult time. \"Children who benefit from free school breakfasts and lunches often miss meals and go hungry once their school closes for the holidays, while the lack of free play schemes and sports activities can have an impact on those from the most disadvantaged backgrounds.\" Five local authorities in Wales already run similar schemes and the Welsh Government said councils would be able to access funding for new ventures in the 2017-18 financial year.

Katie Palmer, Sustainable Food Cities co-ordinator for Food Cardiff, described it as \"an important step in tackling health inequalities\". \"We are thrilled with this news. Last summer, Food Cardiff worked with the Welsh Local Government Association to develop the Food and Fun model across Wales, in partnership with local councils and health boards,\" she said. \"The model, based on our pilot in Cardiff during summer 2015, delivered free school meals, food education and fun physical activities to children during the school break.\" Commitment Fiona Kinghorn, interim director of Public Health for Cardiff and Vale University Health Board, one of Food Cardiff's partners, also welcomed the announcement. \"Some children experience inadequate nutrition during the school holidays and there is also the potential for loss of learning and social isolation,\" she said. \"We have long recognised that addressing these issues requires a collaborative, coordinated response at local level, underpinned by national policy. \"Therefore we welcome this news from Welsh Government, which sees a commitment to deliver support where it is most needed.\"",

Police fired tear gas at protesters who marched after Friday prayers. Three weeks of demonstrations have left 22 people dead across the country. The protests, initially against the rising cost of fuel and bread, have morphed to calls for Mr Bashir to step down to end his 30-year rule. What happened on Friday? A video shared on Facebook appears to show a member of the Khatim al-Mursaleen mosque challenging Mr Yusuf, a Saudi-educated imam. Mr Yusuf, who is known for encouraging his followers to march in solidarity with Gaza or Syria, had to be whisked from a door near the pulpit. He has previously appealed to the government to exercise restraint in the current unrest. Another video shows crowds chanting outside the mosque. The authenticity of the videos could not be immediately verified. Friday's protests in Khartoum and nearby Omdurman appeared to draw more people than before and were more widespread, Reuters news agency reports. Security forces chased the demonstrators but there were no immediate reports of casualties. Why are people protesting? Demonstrations began on 19 December after the government announced price rises for fuel and bread. The protests have escalated into broader calls for an end to the rule of President Bashir, who came to power after a coup in 1989. Activists accuse him of mismanaging the economy. Over the past year, the cost of some goods has more than doubled, while the Sudanese pound has plunged in value. Three-quarters of Sudan's oil income was lost after the country's southern half voted to secede in 2011, leading to the formation of South Sudan. Its economy has also been strained by over 20 years of US sanctions, which were lifted in October 2017. The US had introduced economic sanctions after accusing Sudan of sponsoring terrorist groups. Mr Bashir's regime has been accused of widespread human rights abuses. In 2009 and 2010, the International Criminal Court (ICC) charged him with several counts of genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity, and a warrant was issued for his arrest.",

            "input": "By Andrew WalkerBBC World Service economics correspondent Jerome Powell is taking over from Janet Yellen in charge of the United States' Federal Reserve, the country's central bank. He takes charge a decade after the financial crisis, which has seen central bankers around the world take very usual measures to keep their economies stable. So what challenges will he face and how can we expect him to handle them? The answer will have an impact on the rest of the world. The Fed's job description has been set out for it by Congress - it is to achieve \"maximum employment, stable prices, and moderate long-term interest rates\". Given that there are three elements, you might find it surprising that it's generally referred to as the Fed's \"dual mandate\". The focus is usually on the two aspects of the mandate that have a direct impact on the American public, inflation and jobs. On both of them (and also on the long term interest rates) the US economy is currently looking in reasonably good shape. The Fed has target for inflation of 2% for a measure known as the personal consumption expenditure price index. The latest figure was 1.7% and slightly lower if you take out the volatile contribution of food and energy prices. Inflation is thus on the low side from the Fed's perspective, but not by a wide margin. Unemployment is very low. At 4.1% it's the lowest since the end of 2000. There are places where it's much higher. It's also true that the very low rate partly reflects a decline in the percentage of the adult population that is either working or actively seeking to work (known as the labour force participation rate). That in turn partly due to the ageing US population but it also reflects people of working age who have dropped out of the labour market, some as result of the problems associated with addiction to opioid painkillers. Important though these issues are, the monetary policy tools at the Fed's disposal are not much help in addressing them. The Fed can only really affect conditions across the entire national economy. For the Fed, the issue is whether further declines in unemployment could force employers to offer sharply higher wages to get the workers they need which could in turn feed through into much faster price rises. The Fed's policy makers seem to think unemployment could go a little lower over the next year or two without generating substantially higher inflation. But over the longer term they think the jobless rate is likely to move slightly higher to about four and a half per cent. The key policy is the Fed's interest rate policy. Its main tool is the target for the federal funds rate which is what banks charge one another for overnight lending. The Fed doesn't directly fix the rate, but it can steer it towards the target by buying and selling securities. It currently looks like the Fed will probably raise its main interest rate target three times this year. In previous months there have been different views about rate rises - whether too much might hold back economic growth and job creation or whether too little might risk a surge in inflation. Those debates could well resume as the Fed takes further decisions this year. The Fed is far more advanced than central banks in Europe and Japan with the return of policy to something like normal in the aftermath of the financial crisis. It has already raised interest rates five times from the post crisis lows. In the eurozone the European Central Bank has not even started that process. The Bank of England has reversed the rate cut that it made after the EU referendum, but that's all. The UK is back to the post-crisis level of official interest rates. Then there's quantitative easing, buying financial assets (particularly government debt) with newly created money. The ECB is still actively doing it. So is the Bank of Japan, though both have reduced the amount of new securities they are buying. The Fed finished in October 2014 and is now starting to reduce its stock of assets. This gradual return of Fed policy to something like normal raises a question about the stability of financial markets. The strong performance of share prices (in many other markets too) owes a great deal to central banks' easy money policy. Is it a bubble? Throughout this period there have been concerns expressed that it might be and that the return to normal might lead to instability in the markets. Whatever the Fed does it will have an impact on the rest of world. The first step in the return to normal (in 2013) was known as tapering, a gradual reduction in the amount of assets purchased each month under the QE programme. It produced some volatility especially for emerging markets, an episode known as the \"taper tantrum\". The subsequent increases in interest rates have been less eventful. The markets have seen them coming as the Fed has made its intentions clear - though always subject to what the economic data actually show. Still, those questions remain about whether the enthusiasm in stock markets has got ahead of itself. One of Mr Powell's predecessors, William McChesney Martin, famously said his job was \"to take away the punchbowl just as the party gets going\". The risk could be - and there are different views on this - that the party might already be out of hand, and that a nasty hangover is on the way.",

His is urging customers to buy their usual big turkeys and freeze the leftovers. The UK nations are discussing a joint approach to Covid rules this Christmas. After months of wondering how the pandemic would impact sales of his flock of free range turkeys, Mr Michie said a flood of Christmas orders began in September, but only for small birds. Mr Michie told John Beattie on BBC Radio Scotland's Drivetime: \"People have potentially got more of a disposable income, some people haven't gone on holiday, they're sitting at home, maybe furloughed. \"They're online, possibly with not much else to do but plan for Christmas. \"Their year's possibly been ruined for them and they're thinking that's one way to treat themselves after such a hard year.\" Household mixing The farmer, who offers a limited contact click and collect service from the farm as well as online orders, says e-commerce methods have seen a \"huge upturn\" since the coronavirus pandemic began. However, orders of larger birds are down on last year because of uncertainties over household mixing and restaurant opening. \"Generally people are resigned to the fact that there's going to be less households meeting and it is going to be a smaller Christmas, hence why there's been a bigger demand recently for smaller turkeys,\" he said. Mr Michie and his wife Maria produce free range turkeys of a breed which takes 27 weeks to reach full size, three times longer than standard turkeys. One of their 10kg (22lb) birds which serves up to 24 people, costs more than £100, about twice the price of a barn-raised fresh bird of the same size from a supermarket. \"We spend all year growing this beautiful piece of meat, this one hit of the year,\" Mr Michie said. \"It's a terrible shame for all the turkey farmers in the county to have these kilos of birds going to waste.\" He advised home cooks to consider ordering the same size bird they normally order, even if they are planning a smaller Christmas dinner. \"The bird will keep frozen, if you cook the meat it will keep frozen for over a year, there's amazing recipes you can use for left over turkey, and I think we should look to reducing our food waste generally,\" Mr Michie said. Discussion between the four UK nations took place on Wednesday to consider a joint approach to Covid restrictions over Christmas. Plans are being made to test students before they return home from university at the end of the first semester in December, but it is accepted that large groups will not be able to gather as normal.

A witness had described seeing him fall to the floor after a disturbance involving others who left in a vehicle. At Basildon Crown Court, Tyrel Thompson, 24, of Kingston Road, Wimbledon, and two other males, aged 18 and 16, are awaiting sentence. Mr Chapman had been stabbed multiple times, puncturing his heart and his lung. Essex Police said that a witness saw others make off in a dark-coloured vehicle. Officers at hospital on the night were alerted to a 16-year-old boy who had been admitted with stab wounds to his arm. Police then identified a black Mercedes CLA 180 driving from the scene of the attack to the hospital, at which point two people were seen getting out, coinciding with when the boy was admitted. The boy and another teenager, who was 17 at the time but turned 18 during the trial, were identified as the two people getting out of the vehicle. Both were later arrested, as was Thompson, who had been dropped off by the same vehicle at a taxi rank in Gidea Park in east London. Thompson is due to be sentenced on Thursday, while the two younger defendants, who cannot be identified due to their age, are to be sentenced in February. Sarah Wahid, 46, of High Road, Grays, in Essex, was found not guilty of murder. Det Ch Insp Julie Gowen said: \"Lee Chapman was a young man who had his whole life ahead of him. \"His life was cut short following a frenzied attack where he was stabbed multiple times before his attackers fled the scene leaving him on the ground for dead.\" Find BBC News: East of England on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.

            "input": "At least 30 people were killed on Friday during protests after the ruling against Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh. They were believed to be followers of the self-styled guru, many of them killed by gunfire. Singh was found guilty of raping two women at the headquarters of his sect, the Dera Sacha Sauda, in 2002. Security forces were deployed to prevent further bloodshed after angry supporters rampaged through Panchkula, near Chandigarh. The state government in Haryana has ordered a search of all centres there that belong to Singh's followers. Officials said security personnel would seize any weapons they found. Troops have approached the sect's headquarters near the town of Sirsa, and are trying to establish contact with those inside, local reports say. The troops told the BBC the current strategy was to prevent any access to the complex but also to allow out any of the guru's followers who wished to leave. Barricades have been placed at entry points to the premises, where around 100,000 people are believed to be sheltering. The campus covers a vast area, almost 1,000 acres, and includes schools, a hospital, a sports village and a cinema. Troops surround sect's headquarters BBC's Justin Rowlatt in Sirsa Sirsa is like a ghost town. The shops are shuttered and the streets are empty, thanks to a strict curfew imposed by the Indian army. Local people estimate as many as 5,000 soldiers have been deployed here, and they have shut off all access roads to the sect's stronghold. The closest we could get was two kilometres away. A journalist who managed to get in on Friday said rudimentary fortifications had been put in place, with a series of checkpoints or roadblocks between different sections of the campus. He said he saw piles of lathis - bamboo sticks - and other basic weapons, suggesting, he believed, that some of the guru's followers were prepared to defend the complex from attack. There is no suggestion at the moment that the authorities have any intention of entering the sect's complex. Their primary concern at the moment is maintaining order. Police arrested some 2,500 of the guru's devotees after 200,000 flocked to Panchkula ahead of Friday's verdict. Some smashed cars and set media vans alight, insisting he was innocent. Thousands of army, police and paramilitary forces were deployed. They fired tear-gas canisters and water cannon into the crowd to try to restore control, says the BBC's Ravinder Singh Robin in Panchkula. At least 200 people were injured, 50 of them from the security forces. Violence also spread to the capital, Delhi, where two train coaches were set on fire. Read more Mobile phone services remain disrupted in some parts of Haryana state and in neighbouring Punjab, where authorities imposed a curfew after the clashes. The curfew in Panchkula was lifted on Saturday, but restrictions on public assembly are still in place. India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi called the clashes \"deeply distressing,\" tweeting: \"I strongly condemn the violence & urge everyone to maintain peace.\" Pressure is growing on the country's central government to replace the chief minister of Haryana, Manohar Lal Khattar, over the riots. Mr Khattar has insisted that security arrangements were made, and that \"a few miscreants\" triggered the violence. Singh, 50, had arrived at court in Panchkula in a convoy of more than 100 vehicles. He was taken into protective custody by the army after his conviction. The guru is expected to get a prison term of at least seven years when he is sentenced on Monday. Authorities fear more violence could follow. Who is Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh?",

The north of England and parts of Wales are warned to prepare for the risk of flooding, as heavy rain approaches. There are amber warnings, meaning \"be prepared\", for Greater Manchester, and North and West Yorkshire. People in certain locations around Kendal and Egremont, on opposite sides of the Lake District, have been advised to move out to stay with family and friends who live in areas with lower risk of flooding. Reception centres have opened at Kendal Town Hall and West Lakes Academy. South Lakeland District Council said up to 1,000 properties could be at risk and that military personnel could be deployed to install temporary flood defences to protect vital infrastructure. The worst of the weather is expected from Saturday evening through to Sunday. In some places, a month's worth of rain has been forecast to fall in 24 hours. Falling on already saturated ground, it is likely to cause localised surface water flooding and high river levels, the Environment Agency said. The Met Office has also warned of possible flooding in parts of Scotland in the wake of Storm Abigail. Nicola Willis, from the Met Office, said high ground was likely to be most affected by heavy rain. \"These areas have had a lot of rain already this week and they are already quite saturated,\" she said. \"We are expecting the rain to be heavy and persistent, although the heaviest rain will not necessarily continue through the whole of the warning period.\" Cumbria was hit by severe floods in November 2009. During those incidents, Pc Bill Barker, 44, died after the bridge he was standing on collapsed in Workington, a town about 13 miles north of Egremont.

He added: \"Our teams are already in action clearing watercourses, maintaining existing defences and standing ready to deploy temporary pumps and defences where these can be effective.\" The latest band of rain comes in the wake of Storm Abigail, which closed schools and brought down power lines in parts of Scotland.

            "input": "Employers will be asked to reassure staff it is safe to return by highlighting measures taken to prevent the spread of Covid-19. Business leaders have warned of damage being done to city centres as people stay away from offices. And Transport Secretary Grant Shapps said some things were \"impossible\" to do remotely. But Health Secretary Matt Hancock said he cared more about how employees performed than where they were working. Ministers in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are still advising people to work from home if possible. The campaign, which will launch as most schools in England and Wales reopen, will predominantly be promoted through regional media, BBC political correspondent Iain Watson said. Meanwhile, nine in 10 UK employees who have worked from home during lockdown would like to continue in some form, according to a survey. The research by academics at Cardiff and Southampton universities - which involved thousands of people between April and June - suggests the majority of people working from home are as productive, if not more. Whitehall sources insist the campaign will not suggest those who continue to work from home are at any greater risk of losing their jobs. Labour's shadow business minister, Lucy Powell, said no one should be forced \"to choose between their health and their job\" and the government should \"categorically rule out\" any campaign suggesting people could be out of a job if they refused to return to the office. And Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said she does not want to see people \"intimidated\" into returning to workplaces before it is safe. She said her government had been holding talks with business leaders about the possibility of a phased return to office working but it was still too soon for people to go back to the office as normal without the virus spreading. Frances O'Grady, general secretary of the Trades Union Congress, said: \"The prime minister needs a credible plan to help more people travel and work safely, not a scare campaign.\" The messaging comes as head teachers say they are ready to welcome young people back to school in England and Wales full-time next week, which should make a return to the workplace more feasible for many parents. 'Ghost towns' The employers' organisation the CBI has warned city centres could become \"ghost towns\" if the prime minister does not do more to encourage staff back, with businesses relying on passing trade from office workers. Some prominent Conservative MPs share these concerns and have urged ministers to deliver a clear and consistent message that it is safe to return. But Mr Hancock said getting staff back to work was a \"matter for employers\" and, when asked about the Department for Health, that his main concern was how employees performed. \"Some of them have been working from home, some come in sometimes, some are in full-time - and what matters to me is that they deliver and, frankly, they've been delivering at an unbelievable rate,\" the health secretary told Times Radio. Mr Shapps told BBC Breakfast his own department was encouraging people to return to the office but it was \"a gradual process\". Where it is safe to do so, the transport secretary said people should go back to their workplaces, adding that there were some things which were \"impossible\" to do remotely. \"But I suspect we'll see more flexible working than we've seen in the past and it will be for employers and employees to work out the right balance in their particular cases,\" he said. Mr Shapps said employees with \"legitimate concern\" over whether their workplace was \"Covid-secure\" could raise this with the Health and Safety Executive but most employers had worked hard to make them safe. He acknowledged the return of pupils to school and parents to work tended to \"create pressures\" on the public transport system. \"We'll be watching those very carefully and looking to, for example, in some cases run additional services where we see those problems bubble up,\" he said. Can employers force staff back to the office? In the overwhelming majority of cases the return to office work - or the continuation of home-working - will be a matter of discussion between employers and employees. Businesses will heed public health and government employment guidance, carry out risk assessments, meet employees' concerns and make any reasonable adjustments to facilitate a return to a safe office. Much will depend on the nature of the business and the specific employee role, but there are two principal grounds on which employees can challenge an employer's demand that they return to the office. Firstly, if the employee is disabled or has a condition which puts them at a higher risk of contracting Covid-19, or suffering more severely if they do contract it, they could challenge the demand as discriminatory under the Equality Act. Age could also play a part here as older workers could argue they are more vulnerable to the virus. Those workers, who tend more often to be female and are caring for others who are especially vulnerable to the virus, could bring indirect sex discrimination claims if compelled to return. Secondly, the Employment Rights Act protects employees who reasonably believe there is a \"serious and imminent\" risk of danger in returning to work. This could include risks in getting to and from the workplace. If meaningful work has been carried out at home during lockdown, it will be difficult for employers to resist requests for flexible working. However, employees must be mindful of their duty to carry out any demands from their employer which are legal and reasonable. Between 27 July and 9 August, 39% of the workforces of businesses still trading were working remotely, according to the Office for National Statistics. The industries with the largest proportion of employees working remotely were education and information and communication, where the figure was more than 70%. Figures from investment banking company Morgan Stanley suggest the proportion of UK office workers operating in their normal workplace is less than half that of other major European countries. A BBC study found 50 major UK employers had no plans to return all staff to the office full-time in the near future. One of the main reasons given was that firms could not see a way of accommodating large numbers of staff while social distancing regulations were still in place. In May, Boris Johnson said people who could not work from home - such as those in construction and manufacturing - should return to the workplace. Then in July, he told people to \"start to go back to work now if you can\" and has repeated the plea since then. On Thursday, the UK recorded its highest number of new daily Covid-19 infections since mid-June - but there was also a new low in the number of people being treated in hospital.",

Ms Billingham, a mother of two, died in hospital later that day. Cooke, 55, was convicted of murder at Wolverhampton Crown Court and ordered to serve a minimum of 24 years. West Midlands Police described Cooke's 20-year relationship with 54-year-old Ms Billingham as \"abusive and controlling\".

Cooke told them Ms Billingham had stabbed herself in his van with an ornamental sword stick - a weapon with a blade screwed into the scabbard - following an argument, police said.

The games, championed by Prince Harry, have given them an additional focus to their lives, many say. Some hope they will act as a stepping stone - perhaps taking them as far as Rio 2016. Here are some of their stories: Darren Kamara Darren Kamara, from Cambridge, competed in last summer's US Warrior Games in Colorado, which provided the inspiration for the Invictus Games. The former Lance Corporal in the RAF Regiment, who was medically discharged after suffering an injury to his neck while serving in Afghanistan, spoke of the mental - as well as physical - benefits he discovered. The 36-year-old archer said: \"At the time, I didn't know if I was in or out of the forces and was suffering from a bit of depression as well because I wasn't at work and didn't have my friends around me. \"I scored the top British score - and that's led to me doing the Invictus Games. When I did lose my job, my lifestyle and everything changed, so I couldn't have been given a bigger injection of confidence.\" Mr Kamara, who is engaged to former Olympic swimmer Lisa Chapman, is now working towards setting up his own photography business - but he hasn't ruled out competing further. \"They're looking for male archers for the GB squad for the Rio Games,\" he said. \"My plan is to work towards that.\" Derek Derenalagi Derek Derenalagi, a Lance Corporal with Second Battalion The Mercian Regiment, was initially pronounced dead when his vehicle hit an IED in Afghanistan in 2007, but medics found a pulse while a body bag was being prepared. The father-of-two from Hertfordshire, who will be competing in the 100m, 200m, shot put and discus, watched the Beijing Paralympics while undergoing rehabilitation and took up athletics - initially teaching himself through YouTube videos. He went on to compete in the 2012 Paralympic Games. He said of the Invictus Games: \"To be part of the British armed forces team and to compete in athletics again, I'm really looking forward to it. I'm a bit nervous as well but I'm really, really looking forward to the games. \"Seeing some of the guys I was in hospital with when I got injured and to see them here competing in different kinds of events, it's so encouraging to see.\" He added that while there was still \"room for improvement\", the London Paralympics - and now Invictus Games - had hugely changed people's awareness of those with disabilities. Carolyne Dufley Corporal Carolyne Dufley, a 32-year-old member of the Royal Logistic Corps, survived tours of Iraq and Afghanistan but suffered a spinal injury during a Judo competition in 2011. It left her with pain, loss of movement and muscle spasms - but she says taking part in powerlifting and wheelchair rugby gives her the opportunity to show how far she has come. She said: \"It's time to give back to all the people who have helped us, for their dedication, their time, their effort - for families to be able to see the outcome of the rehabilitation, because they're there from the moment you've been injured.\" The mother-of-two from Didcot, Oxfordshire, said the Invictus Games could change perceptions of those who had been injured. \"We've got a chance to prove to people that it doesn't matter what you look like, if you're missing a limb, two limbs, three limbs and half your face, it doesn't matter,\" she said. Josh Boggi Cyclist Josh Boggi, 28, lost both legs in an IED explosion on New Year's Eve 2010 in Afghanistan and later had his right arm amputated as a result of the injuries he sustained. He says of the Invictus Games: \"I see it as a stepping stone, or rung on the ladder, to where I want to be in the future.\" At the top of that ladder is the Paralympic Games, and Mr Boggi hopes he can turn handcycling into his career. He says his son Jenson is his inspiration, adding: \"Everything I do is trying to better myself and improve my son's life in the future.\" One of the things he is most looking forward to is competing against servicemen and women from other countries. \"Winding up the Americans will be fun,\" he joked. Maurillia Simpson Trinidad-born Maurillia Simpson moved to the UK to pursue her dream of serving in the British Army but was injured in a road accident in Germany in 2010 while preparing for a tour to Afghanistan and was later medically discharged. The former Lance Corporal for the Royal Logistic Corps said she felt she had \"nothing else to live for\" at the time but has now been chosen to represent the British Armed Forces team in seated shot put, javelin and discus. While she says she still misses being in the Army, she now has opportunities she never thought possible through the world of sport. \"You make every day you live after your injury worthwhile and make it count,\" she said. \"The Invictus Games has brought life, hope and identity for all wounded, injured and sick soldiers again.\" The Invictus Games in numbers",

His opposition to it has become a big part of his life. And his attempts to have his voice heard in the planning process has left him disillusioned. Michael is worried about getting safely in and out of his home's driveway - which sits right beside a site access road. He's found it difficult to raise his concerns effectively - working out the best way to present them and to whom. He described hours on the phone, often to the wrong person, before he's redirected elsewhere. \"It's very daunting, very difficult. It has been a nightmare. I feel as if I have become a lonely voice and a bit of a thorn in the developers' side, but no more than that,\" he said. The developers have said there was lots of public consultation, they amended their plans as a result and they've tried to address ongoing concerns. Planning is a complex area that people find difficult to navigate. Research by Queen's University academics recently found little public confidence in the process. Now, Infrastructure Minister Nichola Mallon is trying to improve people's experience. She has asked experts to advise her on how things could be better. 'No right of appeal' One of the groups that will contribute is an organisation called Community Places. A small, not-for-profit operation, it provides independent planning advice to individuals and communities. Director Colm Bradley said the system is daunting and favours developers. \"So if a developer is unhappy with a decision that planners and councils make they can appeal,\" he said. \"But if a community is unhappy on genuine planning grounds, they've no right of appeal. \"Why is that, why should that be the case?\" He said citizens need a grasp of complex planning law, an understanding of technical language and the time to do their own research - all of which are obstacles to participation. In a narrow complex of streets by the docks in Belfast, plans for a tower block are being opposed. It's planned that two former Belfast bars - Pat's Bar and the Rotterdam, both once major live music venues - will be knocked down to make way. 'Travesty towers' Terry McKeown, of the Sailortown Regeneration group, said the planned 30-story development will dwarf existing buildings and dominate the area. She calls it \"Travesty Towers\" and said locals want homes, shops and services to help build their small community. She found out about the proposal when she saw a notice attached to a tree, and said planners need to come to communities and discuss proposals with them rather than engaging in \"tick box\" consultation. The firm behind the development said it consulted the public and that the views expressed will be considered as part of the formal planning application. But for Terry, more should be done to facilitate people having their views heard. \"Have a team in planning whose job it is to go out and talk to people on their doorsteps, not just have an application reference number where people have to do their own legwork and they have to learn the language. \"That's time consuming, it requires a certain amount of expertise within the planning system.

            "input": "By Leana HoseaBBC Middle East Business Reporter, Doha The Qatari authorities say they have increased inspection of accommodation, but I visited four so-called labour camps in Doha and they were all squalid. Some were better than others, but they were all overcrowded with around six to eight men to a room. Twenty and sometimes up to 40 men have to share a kitchen, which is often just a few cooking hobs hooked up to gas canisters and nothing more. The toilet and washing facilities are so basic and dirty that some men use buckets of water to wash. One Bangladeshi man said that raw sewage had been leaking into the camp from a broken pipe. The Qatari authorities say: \"There are very many developments for new workers' accommodation in Qatar at various stages of planning and construction, including at Al-Baraha (25,000 beds); and the Barwa Recreation City facility at Al Khor, which will accommodate a further 6,000 workers, and recreational facilities. \"Further private sector developments will create a further 70,000 beds for workers; while enforcement and inspections should help raise the standards of existing accommodation.\" '21st Century slave state' The 2022 World Cup has kicked off a multibillion-dollar construction boom in Qatar, and roads and hotels are being built to accommodate the fans and businesses that will flock to the emirate. But though Doha, the capital, looks uber-modern, with glittering skyscrapers and innovative architecture, its labour system is less forward-looking. Human rights groups and trade unions say migrant workers are subject to a labour system that enables trafficking and forced labour. Last year, 185 Nepalese workers died, many from heart failure, and 450 Indian workers have died since 2012. Figures of deaths from other nationalities have not been published. Indian and Qatari authorities say the death rates are normal. However, Human Rights Watch called the figures \"horrendous\" and the general secretary of the International Trade Union Confederation, Sharan Burrow, says it is \"an exceptionally high mortality rate\". She says if this trend continues some 4,000 workers will die before the first World Cup football kick-off. Qatar, she says, has refused to give workers a collective voice or the right to form trade unions, describing the emirate as \"a 21st Century slave state\". 'People hate us' Most workers were reluctant to be interviewed, saying they feared getting into trouble with the authorities. Qatar is a monarchy with restrictions on freedom of speech. But some workers agreed. In a ramshackle, cockroach-infested camp, 22-year-old Anil Lamichhane told me he regrets coming to Qatar and wants to go home to Nepal. \"My company doesn't care about us. When we complain to our seniors they say, 'We will see, we will see'. But when will they see us? We don't get safety shoes in time, we don't get helmets, we don't get good gloves, we don't get good accommodation, we don't get good food. We don't get good salaries - only $9 per day - and we work six days per week. \"No-one respects our feelings, we are just labour, all people hate us.\" At another camp, Santos Tharu from Nepal told me how he is trapped in Qatar without his passport or any money. He says he injured his back at work carrying heavy loads, but his employer refused to pay his medical bills. \"I became so unwell I couldn't get out of bed for a week, so they sacked me. They said they would send me home to Nepal, as my contract says. I waited and waited, but it's been two months now. \"I don't have anything, no wages and no food allowance. I have to rely on my friends,\" he said. His employer did not respond to my request for an interview. According to Amnesty International, the majority of migrant workers have their passports held by employers. Workers' charter The organisers of the 2022 World Cup issued a \"workers' charter\" last month in an attempt to improve workers' rights. But it only applies to those working directly on the World Cup buildings. According to the Qatar 2022 Supreme Committee for Legacy and Delivery, this currently only applies to 38 workers. There are more than a million migrant labourers toiling on the infrastructure for the World Cup, building hotels and roads to accommodate the fans and businesses that will flock to Qatar because of the football. The Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs states: \"Where any liability is found to rest with employers, the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs and Qatari law authorities will pursue these cases through the relevant legal channels. \"Many companies have been sanctioned for labour law violations. This includes 2,000 in the past year, and 500 in January 2014 alone. Ultimately, companies that are sanctioned are stopped from hiring workers or renewing visas.\"",

It is the latest accusation against the controversial attraction - it was previously criticised for mistreating an elephant which later died. But a zoo official has denied the claims, saying that the bears are sufficiently fed and are healthy. Indonesia's zoos are notorious for their inadequate conditions, with most scoring poorly against government-set standards. Read more: Indonesia's 'zoo of death' in Surabaya The push to close down the Bandung Zoo is led by Scorpion Wildlife Trade Monitoring Group, which has been monitoring the sun bears since last year. It has staged protests calling for the zoo's closure, and is also running an online petition. Their videos, taken since mid-2016, show the bears pacing around in a concrete enclosure and standing up on their legs apparently begging visitors for food, who throw them junk food. One clip also shows a bear defecating and immediately eating its own faeces. \"The enclosure is dirty, the water is polluted and unclean, and the floor has no grass. There are no live trees in the enclosure,\" Scorpion's programme director Gunung Gea told the BBC. He said that activists had been periodically visiting the bears to feed them fruit, which is part of their natural diet. 'Soul-destroying' \"The fact that you can see their ribs, that is certainly not normal. They are underfed,\" said Gabriella Fredriksson from the International Union for Conservation of Nature. Ms Fredriksson, who is co-chair of the sun bear expert committee, told the BBC that a sun bear eating faeces may be exhibiting \"extreme boredom\". \"Sun bears are very active animals. If they are stuck in a concrete pit with nothing to do, no stimulation for climbing and digging, it's soul destroying to say the least,\" she said. The concrete floors would also damage their soft feet, while the lack of shade may cause cataracts in sun bears which are used to living in dimmer environments. Mr Gea said that the other animals in the zoo also appeared to be in poor condition. Other videos taken by the group show deer with skin conditions, and chained-up elephants. Reviews on travel rating website Tripadvisor of the zoo have been universally critical, with many saying the animals appeared neglected and in distress. \"A horrible place, hell on Earth for all these poor animals. Rusty cages, dirty place and really neglected animals,\" wrote one reviewer. 'Old case' But Bandung Zoo spokesman Sudaryo dismissed the issue as an \"old case\". He told BBC Indonesian that they feed the bears regularly and also conduct regular health checks. \"We provide enough food... People say they are thin, but does (that) mean they are not healthy and they are not eating? It's not,\" he said. He added that the bears were begging \"because there are people who throw food at them\", and that the zoo has told visitors to stop this practice. The zoo last made the news in May 2016 after activists highlighted the plight of Yani, an elephant that died from an unknown disease. The zoo was said to have failed to give adequate medical care. Bandung's mayor, Ridwan Kamil, told reporters last year that he had no power to shut down the zoo as it was privately run. A Jakarta Globe report in 2015 said that out of the 58 registered zoos in Indonesia, only four were found to be \"decent and appropriate\". The controversy over Bandung Zoo follows that of the zoo in Surabaya, dubbed by some the \"zoo of death\" after several animal deaths in recent years.",

But Virgin said CCTV showed Mr Corbyn and his team walking past available seating before starting filming. It says the crew helped him to a carriage where seats were available and he sat for the rest of his journey. According to The Guardian's report last week, the footage of the Labour leader was taken by Yannis Mendez, a freelance filmmaker who volunteers for his campaign. The Labour leader chose the spot on the floor instead of upgrading to first class, it said. In the footage, Mr Corbyn said: \"This is a problem that many passengers face every day, commuters and long-distance travellers. Today this train is completely ram-packed. \"The staff are absolutely brilliant, working really hard to help everybody. \"The reality is there are not enough trains, we need more of them - and they're also incredibly expensive.\" Mr Corbyn said the episode made the case for the railways to be renationalised, one of his key policy pledges. How Virgin says the journey unfolded He had been travelling to Newcastle to take part in a hustings against Owen Smith, who is challenging him for the leadership of the Labour Party. Virgin founder Sir Richard Branson tweeted a link to the CCTV images, saying Mr Corbyn had \"walked past empty unreserved seats then filmed claim train was 'ram-packed'\". The company said that after Mr Corbyn's team had finished filming: \"The same footage then shows Mr Corbyn returning to coach H and taking a seat there, with the help of the onboard crew, around 45 minutes into the journey and over two hours before the train reached Newcastle. \"Mr Corbyn's team carried out their filming around 30 minutes into the journey.\" It said the first stop on the journey, on 11 August, had been York - 1:50 hrs after leaving London. Mr Corbyn's campaign team said: \"When Jeremy boarded the train he was unable to find unreserved seats, so he sat with other passengers in the corridor who were also unable to find a seat. \"Later in the journey, seats became available after a family were upgraded to first class, and Jeremy and the team he was travelling with were offered the seats by a very helpful member of staff.\" They released photos of other people sitting on the floor and comments from a fellow traveller who said the service was \"very overcrowded\". Asked about the CCTV footage apparently showing Mr Corbyn walking past seats without \"reserved\" signs on them, the Labour leader's team said some of these seats had bags on them which appeared to belong to people who had gone to the toilet. Analysis by Tom Bateman, BBC political correspondent On one level, this is a story that appears trivial - about whether a politician could find a seat on a train. But it is fast developing into a political row between the leader of the opposition and one of Britain's biggest rail firms. Jeremy Corbyn's video on the floor of the train made a political point - that the \"ram-packed\" train showed the case for the renationalisation of the railways. Here was a Labour leader attacking the performance of private train companies in a vivid and visual way. The response: Richard Branson today tweeted the claim that Mr Corbyn had walked past empty seats - complete with CCTV picture. Team Corbyn's statement appears to add another perspective about events on the 11:00 Kings Cross to Edinburgh: That other passengers sat on the floor too. It will be important for a leader who promised a \"new kind of politics\" and authenticity not \"spin\" - his opponents would waste no time attacking him if they believed the video was stage managed. At a leadership rally in east London, Sam Tarry - Mr Corbyn's campaign spokesman - accused the Virgin boss of taking a \"pop\" at the Labour leader for challenging the status quo. He said the \"spat\" illustrated that the \"establishment is absolutely petrified at what this campaign and what this movement is all about\" - adding that Labour's commitment to renationalise the \"failed\" railways had \"great resonance\" with the public. Virgin Trains, which runs the service as part of its East Coast franchise, thanked Mr Corbyn for his praise for its staff and said more capacity was being introduced at peak times. The operator told Press Association that two passengers were moved from standard to first class so that Mr Corbyn could sit next to his aide. It added: \"But we have to take issue with the idea that Mr Corbyn wasn't able to be seated on the service, as this clearly wasn't the case. \"We'd encourage Jeremy to book ahead next time he travels with us, both to reserve a seat and to ensure he gets our lowest fares, and we look forward to welcoming him onboard again.\" On Twitter, Mr Smith said his campaign remained \"on track\" and that he was \"proud to be genuinely standing up for ordinary people\". The Transport Salaried Staffs Association said Virgin Trains was being \"disingenuous\", claiming the empty seats were in fact reserved. Manuel Cortes, the union's general secretary, said: \"Passengers fully empathised with this story because far too many of them are having to put up with the sort of travel that Jeremy was right to highlight on a regular basis and have had to pay through the nose to do so. \"No amount of spinning by Virgin will dent the people's will to see our railways brought back into public ownership.\"",

I asked Stephen about the work: \"Photographers are always on the lookout for obliging photogenic subjects, and even though I am a street photographer preferring to stay in the background and shoot unobserved, I often feel the need to directly connect with the subject of my camera's gaze. \"It was in St James's Park in London where I finally found my muse. His name, or so I'm told, is Willy, a five foot high male American White Pelican. We first met five years ago when I found him sitting regally on a bench having just swooped there from his usual home of Duck Island in the park's lake. \"One day I came around the corner of St James's park expecting a good view of the Palace and instead was confronted by a huge white bird preening itself on a park bench. Like virtually everyone else who has had that encounter I whipped out my camera and recorded my disbelief for posterity and have been taking pelican pictures ever since. \"The flock of pelicans residing in St James's park was first introduced in 1664 as a gift from the Russian Ambassador. Although they technically belong to the Queen they are likely to become Boris Johnson's responsibility if the management of the Royal Parks is transferred to the London Mayor's office. \"Although they are wild animals with wings un-clipped, the pelicans have become increasingly inured to human beings. Indeed after spending several years of watching them at close quarters I have come to the conclusion that it is they who own and run the park, and us human gawkers are the beasts under inspection. \"It has become obvious to me is that the pelicans love having their pictures taken. Sometimes there can be upwards of 20 people at a time shoving phones and various flashing devices in their face. They never object, or peck, or throw a strop. Instead they will adjust their pose as required, shifting from full frontal to coquettish side-on 'you looking at me' stance. This always requires the wide-angle lens. Willy, in particular, loves the attention of cameras and must be the most photographed animal in London. \"Although I love photographing the pelicans the longer I did it the more I realised that I was just as interested in the people that were drawn to them. Alongside the flotsam and jetsam of tourists and lunchtime snackers, there is a community of older people who adore all the animals in the park, but save particular affection for the white giants. \"There is Dave who brings his pet snake and polecats to add to the menagerie, there is a gentleman who wheels a bag full of animal feed through the park, and there is Michael who has somehow trained Willy to follow him through the park and who will talk to him while reading the newspaper. \"As for the tourists, they are the ones most beguiled by Willy and his pals. Russian ladies and well-marshalled groups of Chinese people seem particularly thrilled by their antics. Bread, biscuits and nuts are often proffered as snacks but these are usually treated with disdain as favoured foods include worms, and any careless pigeons that get too close. \"For those who want to see these magnificent animals up close, the best opportunity is at 1430 every day when the Royal Parks staff bring buckets of fish for those huge beaks and gullets to devour. It's one of London best wildlife spectacles and for those on a budget it beats going to the zoo. But be sure to bring your camera, you never know what might happen.\" So once you've waved at William and Kate, perhaps you could turn your attention to the pelicans in the park.",

BBC Wales understands that Liberty Steel, which has a base in Newport, has been looking at taking over the plant. US company, Big River Steel, would like to use the site but only with another company operating it. Tata Steel announced plans to shut the plant in September putting up to 380 jobs at risk. But the workers at the site - which makes electrical steel used in power transmission and the car industry - will be redeployed to other parts of the business, including Port Talbot. No compulsory redundancies are expected and a spokesman said workers have been told it was bringing the consultation process to a close. \"We have been working hard to identify alternative jobs at Tata Steel for employees at the Orb business and we remain committed to finding jobs for all those wanting to stay with the company,\" he said. \"Following discussions with trade union representatives, we have agreed to mothball the site for a period of time, rather than closing it. This ensures the plant is properly maintained over the coming period.\" Economy Minister Ken Skates called the closure decision \"very disappointing news\". \"The Welsh Government will do everything it can to support individuals, the community and the supply chain affected by this announcement,\" he added. If Liberty were to buy the factory then it would operate it. It already has a plant in Newport making steel for the construction and automotive industries and has bought around 10 sites from Tata in recent years. Liberty admitted an interest in Orb when the decision to sell it was made last year. It is less clear how Big River Steel's involvement would work in practice. The company started in Arkansas in 2014 and describes itself as a technology company which \"just happen to make steel.\" It employs 525 people and, like Orb, it is already involved in electrical steel and has an eye on the electric car market. There has been a factory at the Newport site, close to the city's iconic transporter bridge, since 1898. But Orb has not been in profit for four years. It was put up for sale in May 2018, with Tata wanting to concentrate on its core steel business. For half a century it was owned by Lysaght before eventually becoming part of British Steel and then European Electrical Steels in 1991. It became part of Tata's Cogent division in 2001. Tata estimates it would cost £50m to upgrade the Orb works to allow it to produce the type of electrical steel that would be used in electric cars. The Welsh and UK governments may be willing to invest in it if a new buyer can be found. Meanwhile, Tata unions are attending a works council meeting in the Netherlands, over plans to cut 3,000 jobs across its European operations. These are believed to involve around 1,000 jobs in the UK, which employs more than 8,000 workers. Although the numbers working in the iron and steel industry has shrunk quite dramatically since the 1970s, the proportion of the UK workforce from Wales is now nearly half.",

            "input": "The Northern Ireland deputy first minister was speaking after the plight of the families of the Disappeared was highlighted in a BBC/RTÉ documentary. He said he would \"make every effort both publicly and privately to see this grave injustice brought to an end\". He appealed for fresh information. The documentary, shown on BBC Northern Ireland and RTÉ on Monday, featured interviews with relatives of those who had been murdered. 'Humanitarian issue' After the programme was broadcast, the Independent Commission for the Location of Victims' Remains said it was appealing for new information \"in a spirit of common human decency\". This was echoed by the Sinn Féin MP, who described it as a \"humanitarian issue\". \"I understand that these killings happened decades ago and those involved may be dead, may not have been active in republicanism since that time or indeed may well be hostile to Sinn Féin and the peace process,\" said Mr McGuinness. \"But despite these difficulties, I do believe that we must continue efforts to see a positive resolution for the families.\" He added: \"Those who seek to make political capital out of these terrible and tragic events will only dissuade them.\" Mr McGuinness was speaking after the group set up to obtain information on where the bodies are buried issued a fresh appeal. The Independent Commission for the Location of Victims' Remain said the documentary had demonstrated \"once again the dreadful burden that the families of the Disappeared have had to bear for so long\". \"Theirs is a tale of tragedy and denial - the tragedy of the loss of a loved one and the denial of their right to bury their loved ones decently and to have a place to grieve,\" it said. 'Guaranteed confidence' Commissioners Frank Murray and Sir Ken Bloomfield said their work did not involve seeking prosecutions but was only aimed at addressing \"the hurt and disappointment that the families of the Disappeared have endured for decades\". They said information could be given to the commission in \"guaranteed confidence\". The commission was established in 1999 by a treaty between the British and Irish governments. It lists 16 people as \"disappeared\". Despite extensive searches, the remains of seven of them have not been found. Meanwhile, Traditional Unionist Voice leader Jim Allister has criticised a refusal by the assembly's Speaker to allow a \"matter of the day\" debate on the documentary's findings as it did not meet the criteria. Mr Allister said: \"It seems that once again anything that could possibly embarrass Sinn Féin and upset the cosy cabal cannot be raised on the 'Hill'. \"It can be debated on the Nolan Show but not in Stormont.\" The issue was raised in the Irish parliament by Fianna Fáil leader Micheál Martin, who described the programme as \"harrowing\". Sinn Féin President Gerry Adams, who in the documentary repeatedly rejected allegations he was involved in the disappearance of mother-of-10 Jean McConville in 1972, said the programme should be a \"huge motivation for anyone who has any information whatsoever to bring it forward\". In response to the North Louth TD, Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny said he hoped the programme \"stimulates active minds to make their information available\". \"The fact of the matter is that somebody ordered that Jean McConville be murdered, somebody instructed that people take her away, somebody instructed the late Dolours Price to drive that vehicle across the border and somebody instructed that what happened took place,\" he said. \"It may well be that those people are still around and they know what happened; your own appeal from this house may well have some effect and I hope it has. \"For others who disappeared in a similar fashion, if they are laid to rest in tragic circumstances in County Meath or County Monaghan, there are people who know what happened to them as well.\"",

            "input": "By Annabel RackhamEntertainment reporter Its one-off episodes provided a unique formula of real-life dilemmas and emotions brought on by the abuse of powerful technology that left audiences questioning their moral standpoints. In 2015, after two series and one feature-length episode on Channel 4, Netflix commissioned 12 new episodes, allowing it to go big budget with epic short films and massive global audiences to match. Some viewers worried about its new American influence, but the online giant's first season last year provided the same level of sinister, just with a bit more production and polish. Ahead of Black Mirror's second Netflix series, we sat down with show creators Charlie Brooker and Annabel Jones. A 'futuristic Tinder' Netflix were very explicit about what we could talk about when they invited us to interview Brooker and Jones, who are Black Mirror's creative directors, screenwriters and producers. Spoilers were the hot topic - mostly how I couldn't reveal them at any cost (having been given two episodes of the new series to watch). So when asked what we expect in this series, Brooker said: \"You'll have to wait and see. \"I can tell you we have a wide variety of tones and almost different genre pieces. \"We've got a space epic, a brutal survival horror, a tech noir thriller, we've got almost a rom-com - well as close as Black Mirror gets to that - and we also have a tree house of horror style sort of three-stories-in-one episode and we've got an indie movie with a mother and daughter relationship.\" Jones adds: \"Yeah, an American indie drama directed by Jodie Foster.\" The Black Mirror Twitter account has posted a teaser for every episode so far but each has given very little away. One of the teasers which caught the millennial eye was the Hang the DJ clip, which appeared to show a futuristic version of Tinder. \"It's fair to say it's about a system and a service,\" is Brooker's only clue. \"It's probably one of our lighter episodes because we're varying the tone more throughout the season, partly to keep the show interesting for the viewer and unpredictable and for ourselves.\" Jones interjects: \"It's a film about dating that couldn't have been made 10 years ago, as in a sense it is reflective of the world of dating. \"It is lighter but there's also a few moments of sadness and melancholy, there's a lot of funny and wry observations but it feels very relevant.\" Brooker adds: \"That doesn't mean we're short-changing on the nihilistic bleakness, there's plenty of that around,\" with the grin of a man who knows how many people are going to have nightmares after watching this series. Social media pressure One episode of Black Mirror that struck a chord with the younger generation was Nosedive, which shows what life is like when an Instagram-style app rules every aspect of your life, so I ask Brooker and Jones what they think about social media. \"I'm very grateful that it didn't exist when I was a teenager,\" Brooker says. \"I don't know how at an age when you're trying to put your identity together, how you cope with the pressure of a performance space, which is what social media is. \"The level of judgement that goes on there, just the pressure of it - I can't begin to imagine what that is like for someone today.\" Jones has a different idea: \"I think maybe people have different skills to what we did growing up, so I think as long as you understand the pressures you're under and you put it within a perspective it's fine. \"I think it's a great time for technology if used and embraced in the right way and with a positive attitude - if you take the good bits then you're going to have a good time!\" \"In our stories technology is never the villain\" Jones's extremely positive outlook seems strange for someone who has created a show with human suffering from technology at its core. Brooker is quick to apportion blame to people not things, saying: \"In our stories technology is never the villain. \"It's about giving an individual great power but if that individual is weak or has a flaw that's where the problem comes in, it's not generally inherent in the technology itself.\" Brooker adds he \"grew up loving computers\" but says the problem we have today is learning how to use the devices around us in the right way. \"People often say that the show is pessimistic about technology but we're generally more optimistic about it than maybe the show puts across because the programme is extrapolation and invention - taking a fun idea and then taking it to its dark and often horrible logical conclusion,\" he says. \"We have [shown technology positively] in San Junipero from season three, without wanting to spoil that for people who haven't seen it. \"Consciously that was an optimistic story with technology at it's core that was enabling people to do something amazing and there's a couple of stories this time around like that.\" Jones adds: \"I think for the stories to feel authentic and credible it's got to be a technology that you'll allow into your life, that is giving you something and enabling you, but as Charlie says there's always potential abuse in that.\" Black Mirror Season Four is available to stream on Netflix on 29 December.

            "input": "By Claire BatesBBC News A few days before Christmas, in 1942, a baby boy was brought in to a police station near the Houses of Parliament in London. He had been found wrapped in a bright blue woman's coat on Victoria Embankment, a road lined with trees and occasional benches that runs along the north bank of the Thames. The boy was judged to be one month old and, after no-one came forward to claim him, he was allotted a birthday. He also needed a name. It was common at the time to refer to the place a child was found - and so he became Victor Banks. \"I always wondered who they were, you know? And why I would have been abandoned, I think that's the main thing.\" Tony May is sitting in an old easy chair in his flat in St Albans, just to the north of London. There are jazz CDs piled on a side table, and photos of trumpet players on the wall. \"I used to run a club on the jazz circuit,\" he tells me. \"We'd get musicians who had played at Ronnie Scott's.\" Tony is in his 70s. Though he moves carefully around his flat his voice is full of energy. He gestures now to one of the pictures crammed on to his mantelpiece. \"My mum and dad, Arthur and Ivy, didn't have any brothers or sisters so they had friends who we called aunt and uncle. They were lovely to me.\" The couple adopted Victor Banks when he was a toddler in 1944, changing his name to Tony May. They went on to adopt a little girl called Eleanor who became Tony's sister. Tony remembers being told he was adopted when he was about seven. \"It was no big deal really. But I remember my sister went around telling everyone we were adopted and I was so embarrassed.\" When he was growing up, Tony was particularly close to his father. \"My dad was very bright but although he was very interested in sport he was no good at it at all. When he realised I was good at it, he used to give me and my friend Mick cricket catching practice every night. He'd come home from the bank - I can see him now with his hat and umbrella - and he'd come down the garden to help us. And he'd take me to see major sporting events at White City stadium in London. \"I became a very good cricketer and schoolboy athlete because he believed in me. And when you're adopted you need people to believe in you.\" Tony's adoption was rarely mentioned by his parents. \"I remember once my dad knocked on my bedroom door when I was a teenager and asked what music I was listening to,\" Tony says. \"It was John Coltrane on tenor sax playing ballads. He said: 'Do you think you play such mournful music, because you're adopted?' I said: 'No Dad, this is world-class music played all over the world.' He said: 'Oh, OK then.' That was that, there was no dialogue about it.\" Tony only discovered he had been found as a baby on his wedding day, at the age of 23. \"My dad sidled over to me after the service,\" he says. \"He told me that when I got back from my honeymoon he'd have an envelope for me with my exam passes and adoption order. He said: 'There's a word on it that you might not know, the word foundling. Just letting you know.' I didn't twig for ages what it meant. It was much later that I realised I'd been abandoned.\" Tony went into banking, like his father, and then into recruitment. He also had two children. Looking back, he wonders whether not knowing where he came from did affect him, despite what he told his father about the music he'd been listening to that day. \"I worried a lot about things going wrong, which meant I worked extra hard at getting things right. It did mean when the auditors came around at work I knew I'd get a clean sheet. \"Though I laugh and joke and muck about, I'm not tactile. I'm fairly reserved, I would say, about showing emotion. But I can cry my eyes out watching a rugby match.\" It wasn't until his adoptive parents had died that Tony felt ready to investigate where he came from. His first port of call was the London Record Office, where he was amazed to find out he wasn't allowed to look at his own adoption file. The rules at that time stipulated that a social worker had to go in and make notes in pencil on his behalf. The file revealed that after being found on Victoria Embankment on 19 December 1942 he was taken to the old Canon Row police station near Westminster Bridge - but there was no mention of who had found him or at what time of day. After being examined at a hospital in Chelsea, he was evacuated to Easneye Nursery in Ware, Hertfordshire, away from the risk of bombing. Little Victor first met Arthur and Ivy May at Easneye. Before they were allowed to adopt him they fostered him for a year and Tony is visibly moved as he reads out a welfare report from that time. \"Date on which visit made: 5 November 1943. Is the child well cared for? The answer is: 'She devotes her whole time and attention to the baby and he is responding well to individual care and is becoming interested in people and things.' Are the applicants satisfied with the child? 'They are very pleased with him and delighted to have a baby of their own.'\" \"That's lovely, that,\" Tony says, tapping the table for emphasis. Letters in Tony's file reveal the Mays wrote to the authorities to see if they could find out any more about his history. The reply was definitive - exhaustive inquiries had been carried out to trace the parents, but all efforts had been unsuccessful. Having reached this dead end, Tony then took his story to the media in the hope it might jog someone's memory. He appeared on radio, TV and in newspapers in the mid-1990s. Some nurses who had worked at the Easneye nursery during the war came forward, but Tony was no closer to finding out about the circumstances of his birth. \"I had given up. I thought, 'No man can do more than I have done, so that's it,'\" he says. Then, four years ago, Tony joined a Facebook group for foundlings. They swapped stories about their lives and their theories about why they might have been left. Tony thought he could be the result of a liaison between a British woman and an American GI. It's estimated that about 22,000 children were born in this way between 1942 and 1945. \"I was found in London and I know this is an area where it was happening,\" he says. He mentioned his theory in the Facebook group, and it was a move that would change his life. The post was spotted by Julia Bell, a genetic genealogist who has used DNA to track down American servicemen who fathered children during World War Two. Julia's first successful case was working out who her own GI grandfather was. \"My mother was over the moon to find out. Her father had died in 2009 but she had five brothers and sisters living all over the US. They send her presents for her birthday.\" Julia was inspired by her experience to work on other GI cases, but she was now looking for a new challenge. \"I was finding the American servicemen cases very easy. They all knew who their mothers were, but not their fathers. I thought, 'How about giving that gift of knowing where you come from to people who don't know who either side was?'\" She had started looking at foundling cases when she came across Tony's Facebook post, so she introduced herself and offered to help free of charge. \"I thought, why not?\" Tony says. \"I've tried everything you know, if you like you might as well go for it. I didn't think she'd be successful. How can you possibly be from so little information?\" And he was right that the case was a tough one, in fact it was the hardest that Julia had ever attempted to crack. The first thing Julia did was search newspaper archives, where she found a small article from 20 December 1942 reporting Tony's discovery. It read: \"A blue-eyed boy four weeks old, wrapped in a bright blue jacket, part of a woman's costume, has been found abandoned on the Embankment.\" Julia wondered whether this could be a sign that Tony was left in a hurry, and that perhaps it hadn't been planned. She then turned to DNA, which she was convinced could help unravel Tony's case. It was 2016, and there had been a massive increase in the number of people in the US and the UK using DNA testing kits to research their family history. Her first step was to send off a saliva sample from Tony to one of several privately owned companies that offer DNA matching with other clients on their database. The amount of DNA we share with other people is measured in centimorgans. The number ranges from single digits for distant cousins to 3,400 centimorgans for a parent and child. The test revealed a woman called Deborah in Toronto, who appeared to be about a third cousin of Tony's, judging from the amount of DNA they shared. But this promising link proved a dead end. Julia realised Deborah was most likely related to Tony on her father's side, and Deborah said she didn't know who her father was. After Deborah, Tony's closest relation was a fourth cousin called June, in Scotland. That meant she probably shared with Tony a pair of great-great-great-grandparents, who lived sometime in the 1800s. \"Now June had more of a complete tree, which she was willing to share with me,\" Julia says. To find out which ancestor pair Tony and June shared, Julia searched the databases of the DNA-matching companies and found someone who was a cousin of both Tony and June at a similar distance. \"It's called triangulating,\" Julia explains. \"I found an ancestor pair living in the 1860s that all three people shared. Then I created a chart with all the different possible lines of descent, with every marriage and every birth. \"I looked for people further down the lines who were living descendants and asked them to do a DNA test. Each time I found a closer match that would help me refocus and refocus, getting closer to my goal.\" By a closer match, Julia means a cousin closer to Tony in his family tree, sharing a larger amount of DNA. The most common DNA test examines the pairs of chromosomes inherited from each parent (except the pair of sex chromosomes), but Julia also got Tony to do another test that looked at mitochondrial DNA, which is passed from mother to child via the egg cell. It suggested a strong maternal link to Lanarkshire, in the central lowlands of Scotland. DNA testing Every cell in your body contains DNA molecules, packaged in structures called chromosomes, which hold the instructions the body needs to develop, survive and reproduce. The most common DNA test focuses on chromosomes from the cell nucleus, and particularly those inherited from both parents (22 \"autosomal\" chromosome pairs). The test matches you with anyone else on the database who shares a direct ancestor, reaching back about seven generations. In men it is also possible to test the Y chromosome, which is passed from father to son and helps identify the paternal line. The maternal line can be investigated by testing the DNA in mitochondria - subunits of a cell responsible for generating the cell's energy. This DNA is passed from mother to child in the egg cell. It was slow and painstaking work but towards the end of 2018 Julia identified a couple she thought could be Tony's maternal grandparents, who had lived in Kirkcaldy, north of Edinburgh. They had a son still living in Scotland called Bill who was in his 90s and was reluctant to do a test. However Bill's daughter, Kathleen, agreed to help once she heard Tony's story. The results showed Kathleen was almost certainly his first cousin. \"So I'm thinking it's most likely that Tony's mother was Bill's sister,\" Julia says. \"Bill had a sister called Mary who died in 1988. Mary had had two children - a son, Peter, who had died in 2006, but also a daughter called Sheena, who was still living.\" After thinking about it long and hard, Sheena agreed to meet Julia. \"Well this was back in January 2019,\" Sheena says, sitting across from me in her conservatory in Kettering, Northamptonshire. \"My cousin Kathleen had explained to me about Julia and this person who was looking for his parents. I thought whoever this Tony is deserves to know who his family is, but I didn't click at all what it had to do with me. \"She came here and told me, 'I'm 80% sure that your mum is Tony's mother.' Well you could have knocked me over with a feather, I knew nothing about it! \"I thought, 'How could my mum have done it?' And then I thought, 'What must she have been through to feel she had to do something like that?' If only she'd been able to talk to us.\" Sheena agreed to take the test and it confirmed Sheena was indeed Tony's half-sister. Julia went to Tony's house to tell him the news. \"When she came I had a friend with me, who was writing it all down. It was a hell of a lot to absorb,\" Tony says. \"It was strange, I felt much less happy than I thought I would do. It didn't have as huge an effect as I thought it would. But then I heard Sheena was willing to meet me, that was a big bonus.\" Sheena and her husband, George Haig, only live an hour's drive away from Tony and they agreed to meet him and Julia at a hotel. \"I just thought it was unbelievable. That I'm hugging the daughter of the woman who abandoned me and that she had been prepared to meet me,\" Tony says. \"Sheena gave me an album full of old photographs of the family. It was just lovely. She's a great girl.\" Sheena immediately noticed something familiar about Tony. \"He walked in and I thought: 'That's my mum walking towards me.' He was so much like her it was scary. I just couldn't take my eyes off him.\" Over time, Sheena, 65, has helped Tony build a picture of their mother. Mary married Sheena's father in 1946 and had two children. They moved to Rhodesia, now Zimbabwe, when Sheena was two. However, they came back to the UK after her father was injured in a car accident. He never left hospital and Mary raised Peter and Sheena alone. \"She had a hard life but she was a loving person. She'd do anything for anybody,\" Sheena says. \"I've missed her more this year than I've done in a long time.\" Meanwhile, Julia was still at work trying to find Tony's biological father. She discovered Mary had been married once before, which was a complete surprise to Sheena. \"Julia told us mum had married a man from Kirkcaldy called James on 1 August 1942, but she applied for a divorce in 1946,\" she says. As Tony was born in late November or early December, Julia knew Mary would have been about five months pregnant at the time of the wedding. Although the DNA hadn't indicated a strong Scottish lineage on Tony's paternal side, Julia decided to follow up the lead. She found out that James had gone on to remarry after his divorce from Mary and had had a daughter called Anita. When Anita was approached and told about Tony's story, her response took everyone by surprise. \"Her first words to us were along the lines of: 'Thank goodness he's fine,'\" Julia says. Anita says discovering the existence of Tony has laid to rest a family mystery that had troubled her for most of her life. \"I'd heard a whisper of a story but I was never sure it was true,\" she says. \"I was anything between eight and 10. I heard raised voices and I was listening at the door. I just heard, 'Oh, it's awful you know that a baby was left.' That would have been my mother speaking and my father was saying things like, 'You weren't there. It was dreadful, she was in a terrible state and she was going to jump off a bridge and I had to calm her down.'\" It's not clear if James knew Mary was pregnant when they got married, but Anita says her father insisted the baby wasn't his. Her understanding was that this led to some sort of argument between James and Mary in London. At the time, James was in the military and serving on the south coast. Perhaps Mary came down with the baby from Kirkcaldy to meet him? \"I suppose that's how the abandonment happened,\" Anita says. \"My father removed Madie [Mary] from the baby to calm her down and perhaps - I think I remember hearing my mum saying something like 'Did you never go back to see if it was still there?' And I remember him saying 'Of course I did, but obviously the baby wasn't there.'\" This is a second-hand account, told decades later, but it does suggest that both Mary and James were involved in leaving Tony on Victoria Embankment. An action that their children think profoundly affected both of them for the rest of their lives. Mary had always told her daughter, Sheena, that her brother, Peter, had been a twin, but that the other baby had been stillborn. Sheena's cousin recently revealed she'd once asked their gran about the stillborn baby. \"My gran had been there at Peter's birth and apparently she said that was a load of rubbish, there was only one baby. So we now think that was my mum trying to make sense of it,\" Sheena says. Anita said her father, James, was delighted when she had three girls and seemed uncomfortable around baby boys. \"He was a very supportive and helpful person. It just seems such an out-of-character thing for him and I think it weighed heavily on him,\" she says. \"In fact, in his late 70s he tried to take his own life and was treated for severe depression. I think the incident in 1942 with the baby [is something] he'd carried all those years and felt guilt and shame for. I think it contributed to his suicide attempt.\" Both Sheena and Anita wish their parents could have known that Tony had been found and adopted. Anita took a DNA test that confirmed what her father had always said, he was not Tony's father. So Julia's hunt continued, looking at DNA databases and creating numerous family trees using birth, marriage and death records. She narrowed down her search to two family lines based in Yorkshire and Hertfordshire. This meant he was unlikely to be a GI as Tony had first supposed. Then, just a few months after finding Tony's mother, Julia hit the jackpot with his father. She discovered a 1906 marriage that seemed to bring those two lines together. The marriage resulted in a son called Eric. \"I found this man called Eric Wisbey who looked to me to be the dad. I approached some living relatives who told me he had gone to Australia,\" Julia says. \"Eric had died in 2004 and he had a son called Ken who had died in 2011. But Ken had a daughter called Leesa and she agreed to do a DNA test.\" Leesa lives in Wodonga, on the border of New South Wales and Victoria. \"I Googled Julia Bell's name to make sure that it wasn't a hoax,\" she says over Skype. \"You never know nowadays. And then I thought, 'Well, it's not going to hurt me.' So I agreed and she sent the test over.\" The results came back a month later and confirmed Leesa was Tony's half-niece. This meant Julia was correct and Eric Wisbey was Tony's father. How Julia did it Starting in 2016, Julia Bell identified cousins of Tony on his mother's side, and used them to reconstruct part of his family tree, which led her to Mary, Tony's mother, and to Sheena, his living half-sister, whom Julia met in January 2019. In her search for Tony's father, Julia established that Mary's first husband, James, had been present when Tony was abandoned, but was not his father. Her attention then focused on two families in Yorkshire and Hertfordshire and a man called Eric Wisbey. When Eric's granddaughter, Leesa, did a DNA test in spring 2019, the result showed she was Tony's half-niece, and the case was closed. Tony was amazed to discover he had family on the other side of the world. \"I have got a father that went out to Australia and now I've spoken to my father's granddaughter out there over the internet. These are huge bonuses,\" he says. Leesa was able to tell Tony a little about his father. \"Eric was sort of a reserved fella, sometimes he'd take my brother, dad and I fishing,\" she says. He was a painter and decorator who moved around the state of Victoria. After his wife, Leesa's grandmother, died, he married one of her friends. But how did Eric Wisbey, from the south of England, come to meet Mary Hunter from Scotland? Leesa pulled out her grandfather's war records, which revealed he was in the Army Pay Corps in World War Two. In 1942 he was stationed in Edinburgh, 11 miles across the Firth of Forth from Mary's hometown of Kirkcaldy. At the time Mary was 22 and living with her parents, while Eric was 35 and married with a young son back in Brighton. So how did this unlikely couple get together? Mary's brother, Bill - who has since died aged 93 - was asked if he could remember anything from that time. \"He remembered an older guy coming to stay at the house because he had to share a room with him,\" Sheena says. \"He was 15 years or so older than my mum and he said he thinks she'd had an affair with him. But he doesn't remember her being pregnant or a baby being born.\" Sheena and George have speculated that Eric was billeted with the Hunter family, and was perhaps involved in paying the munition workers in the town. But did Eric ever find out that Mary was pregnant? Leesa reveals a tantalising clue. \"I had rung my mum to tell her about what was going on with Julia and then mum spoke to John, who was my dad's friend. And John said Dad had told him he thought he had a half-brother or had an inkling. I don't know how Dad got that information. I wish he was still alive so we could ask him about it.\" Eric Wisbey left Scotland in 1943 after he moved from the Pays Corps to the Intelligence Corps. By 1944 he was stationed in India. \"He didn't really like speaking about the war and we never asked him about it. We found his records in a drawer,\" Leesa says. Sheena thinks her mother was left in an impossible position. \"Whether he knew about it or not, Eric was married and quite a lot older than my mum. Then he went off to Australia. I think he got off scot free,\" she says. \"I feel angry and bitter that my mum felt she had to hide it all. What she must have gone through for the rest of her life, to my mind, is absolutely heart-breaking.\" For Tony, the discoveries have helped him better understand why he was left on the Embankment. But he says he has never blamed his mother for leaving him. \"I wish I could tell her 'I'm sorry you had to do it,'\" he says. \"I was sure she wouldn't have abandoned me without a damn good reason.\" Dr Marilyn Crawshaw from the University of York has worked for decades with people who were adopted or conceived with donor sperm. She warns people to think carefully before embarking on a journey like Tony's. \"I very definitely believe a child has a right to know where they come from,\" she says. \"But I always say to people don't go rushing into it, stop and think first. Talk to your mates about it. Are you prepared for all the different things you might find out? \"Some bits might feel immensely satisfying, but you may also find a birth parent who refuses to have contact with you. You have no idea what is happening in the lives of the people you are approaching. You really are stepping into the unknown.\" Tony says there are some things he will always wonder about, such as whether he was born in Scotland or London, but he is \"happy to know what I now know\". His relationship with his half-sister has gone from strength to strength. Sheena and her husband, George, have met Tony's sister, Eleanor, while Tony has gone to watch his half-niece, Jessica, sing at a concert in London. Tony is now looking forward to introducing Sheena and her family to his children and grandchildren. \"When Julia first told me she had a result I think I was a bit stunned,\" Tony says. \"But now I've met my half-sister, I've corresponded with my half-niece in Australia. I'm looking forward to introducing my son and daughter to Sheena's family.

Professor Juliet Osbourne said the new technology will help authorities find nests early, which was \"vital\" to stop them \"colonising the UK\". Asian hornets have been seen in Spain, France, the Channel Islands and the UK. Last year the team, based at the university's Penryn campus in Cornwall, travelled to France and Jersey to conduct tests which aimed to find a quicker method of locating Asian hornet nests so they could be destroyed. Asian hornet (Vespa velutina) Source: National Bee Unit Dr Peter Kennedy, who led the research, said the team captured and partially froze hornets in order to place the radio tags on them with a sewing thread. The team were able to track the insects up to 0.8 miles (1.3km). \"Our new method of tracking offers a really important new tool to tackle the spread of this invader, providing an efficient means of finding hornets' nests in urban, rural and wooded environments,\" Dr Kennedy said. The team were part funded by beekeepers in the South West and the Department for the Environment Food and Rural Affairs (Defra), which is \"preparing for future outbreaks\" of the invasive species in the UK. Nicola Spence, Defra deputy director for plant and bee health, said: \"This work is key for ensuring a rapid response to Asian hornets when sightings are confirmed.\" Over the past decade Asian hornets have spread across western Europe. In 2012 two nests were detected in northern Spain according to Dr Xesus Feas from the University of Santiago de Compostela, who says in 2016 this spread to more than 10,000. The species was first seen in Britain in Gloucestershire in 2016, but there were further sightings in Woolacombe, Devon, last year. In April, a single hornet was found in Lancashire. They have also been spotted in Jersey, Guernsey, Alderney and Sark in the Channel Islands. Studying Asian hornet nests John de Carteret, a former forensic photographer from Jersey, has been filming Asian hornet queens building nests around the island. He is part of the Jersey Beekeeper's Association, which has been tracking Asian hornets down by hand.

Mr Anderson and fellow party leaders Warren Bradley (Liberal Democrat) and Sarah Jennings (Green) have asked the government to consider phasing the reduction to minimise the impact on jobs and front line services. They took part in a conference call with Local Government Minister Andrew Stunnell to outline their concerns on Thursday. When combined with additional spending pressures, Liverpool said it had to find £141m of savings between now and 2013 - £91 million of it in 2011-12. The cuts have been imposed by the government in an attempt to cut the national budget deficit. \"Manchester are the fifth-worst authority in terms of the cuts, we're the number one,\" Mr Anderson said. \"Of course Manchester have a little bit more income than us in terms of the airport, so proportionately we are definitely worse off. \"We have refused to put numbers on compulsory redundancies simply because we are trying everything we can because we want to try and protect every job we can, and also to protect the services that we provide. \"But we do recognise that eventually there will be compulsory redundancies in the city.\" Work is already under way to reorganise the council, including cutting the number of business units from 74 to 27, cutting 48 senior posts and axing bonuses.

But the Daily Mail says the move will still prove controversial - with workers including teachers and police officers being asked to help plug the \"black hole\" in the nation's finances. The Times says Mr Sunak is expected to say a pay freeze is \"only fair\", when many in the private sector have lost their jobs. The front pages of both the Times and Guardian also feature the inquiry into bullying allegations made against Home Secretary Priti Patel. The Times says Boris Johnson will set out to defend his \"embattled\" minister, and will reject calls for her resignation - despite the inquiry's conclusion that she breached the ministerial code.

The High Court's decision to allow a legal challenge against the government over the death of a man who caught coronavirus in a care home is the main story in the Daily Mirror.

Mid and west Wales firefighters were delayed just 11 times in three years and the north Wales service 57 times. Crews across Wales have tackled more than 9,000 fires since January 2013. The main reason for delays was access problems, with firefighters held up 364 times, and there were 114 delays due to crews not being able to find the blaze. Firefighters were sent in the wrong direction 47 times and on three occasions \"civil disturbances\" held up crews in south Wales. Mr Bound, watch manager at Tonypandy in Rhondda Cynon Taff, said access problems happened daily. \"Engines are quite long and wide and some streets are so narrow, with cars parked. Once we arrive we have got to get the equipment and get out of the fire engine ourselves. \"We understand it's difficult for people to park by their own houses but [it would help] if more people did think to acknowledge tight corners in their locality. \"Delays because of access are a daily occurrence, sometimes several times a day.\" Mr Bound said poor or a lack of directions can also cause problems. \"We had a call recently for Penrhys and the only information we had was 'Penrhys estate' so the vehicle had to search through the estate for the fire. \"We will always attend as quickly as we can, and force entry quite quickly. \"But if there is a delay for whatever reason it delays us in our duties which could have an impact on people's lives.\" The number of delays fell over the three years in south and north Wales, but rose in mid and west Wales.

As the announcement was made that he was to be Mr Mugabe's deputy, he looked up, smiled and accepted a few hugs as party supporters roared and cheered with joy. Mr Mnangagwa is considered the ultimate insider: He served time in jail before independence in 1980 and since then in government - traversing security, justice, housing cabinet posts as well as a stint as speaker of parliament. Many are fearful of his reputation for cruelty and ruthlessness, as well as his darting eyes. When I once asked him why he arouses such a response, he replied, with his eyes shut: \"I don't know, but you have come and spent time with me, is there anything to fear?\" Unlike other party officials, he often drives himself around town without his security. Insiders within Zimbabwe's state security service say he is \"a hands-on person\" - the link-man between Zanu-PF and the country's influential military and spy agencies. In the early 1980s, he was Zimbabwe's spymaster at the time of the Gukurahundi atrocities, when the North Korean-trained Fifth army brigade killed thousands of civilians as it dealt with an alleged insurgency in the south of the country. He has denied any role in the massacres, blaming the army. 'Soft side' Zanu-PF MP Joramu Gumbo, an ally of Mr Mnangagwa, admits the new party vice-president \"rarely smiles\" but says he is \"misunderstood by many\". \"If you get to understand him, you will soon discover he is a down-to-earth person. \"He is very humorous, very intelligent.\" Earlier this year as justice minister, Mr Mnangagwa refused to sign the death warrants for 97 murder convicts, saying the \"sentence is too harsh and must be done away with\". \"That explains his softer side, partly shaped by his background during the war and experience,\" says Mr Gumbo. Others see the roots of his fearsome reputation in the liberation war. In 1963, soon after the formation of the Zanu party, he led the first group of party cadres to China for military training. A decision had been reached to wage a military offensive to tilt the political scales against Ian Smith, then leader of Rhodesia. On his return, Mr Mnangagwa led a group of fighters known as \"the crocodile gang\", which blew up some trains and also killed a white farmer. He was caught in 1965 and sentenced to death. He escaped that penalty because of he was under 21, but his close associates say he was brutally tortured using techniques such as water boarding and being hung by his legs. The beatings he received at the time have affected the hearing in his left ear. \"He has scars of that period. He was young and brave,\" says a close friend of Mr Mnangagwa, who asked not to be named. \"Perhaps that explains why he is indifferent. Horrible things happened to him when he was young.\" Lawyer After his release from jail in the early 1970s, he completed his law studies in Zambia, and then joined Mr Mugabe, who he had met in jail, in Mozambique and Tanzania. \"That's where the bond between the two developed. He looked up to Mugabe as his father, not brother,\" says Mr Gumbo. \"He has been respectful and loyal since… the time they met in prison at Harare Central, where Mugabe taught him law he was doing by correspondence.\" He was elected as Mr Mugabe's special assistant in 1977, becoming head of both the civil and military divisions of Zanu. Their relationship remained close until 10 years ago when he faced the wrath of Mr Mugabe for holding an unofficial meeting with Zanu-PF provincial chairpersons to seek support to become the party vice-president - a position that was then chosen by the provinces. The president sent him into political oblivion, stripping him of senior government and party positions. But like a true crocodile, he lurked in the water - only raising his head above water when necessary - and striking when the opportunity arose. This came in 2008 when he is rumoured to have masterminded Zanu-PF's political campaign, co-ordinating the party links with both army and intelligence. After opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai won the first round of the presidential election, the military and state security organisations are accused of unleashing a campaign of violence against opposition supporters, leaving hundreds dead and forced thousands from their homes. Mr Tsvangirai then pulled out of the second round and Mr Mugabe was re-elected. Mr Mnangagwa has not commented on allegations he was involved in planning the violence. An insider in the party's security department confirmed Mr Mnangagwa is the political link between the army, intelligence and Zanu-PF. \"He cuts party finance deals, organises the campaign that links both security and party. He has Mugabe's ear on everything.\" 'Party purged' This year he paired up with first lady Grace Mugabe to rid his political rival Joice Mujuru of any power in the party. But political analyst Takura Zhangazha says as Mr Mugabe's deputy, he will have \"limited room to manoeuvre\" and must remember who is boss. If he does become president, commentator Pedzisai Ruhanya believes little will change. \"In appointing Mnangagwa, Mugabe is appointing someone who mirrors his leadership style. Mnangagwa is a hardliner, and hardliners aren't known for liberal democratic practices.\" Pro-democracy campaigner Lovemore Madhuku agrees: \"He is a hardliner. The way he ascended to power speaks to that. Many people have been purged. That's his style; no change can come from anyone within Zanu-PF.\" Yet a former intelligence officer, who operated in the internal wing of CIO under Mr Mnangagwa, thinks he is a pragmatist and will be a reformer. \"Mnangagwa understands the nuts and bolts of business, capital. He isn't a hardliner as many people say. \"Should he become president, he is going to work more with the business community; he wants money and that which is good for the country. He isn't hostile to progress.\"",

            "input": "What triggered the protests? The protests began in early February in the western states of Tachira and Merida when students demanded increased security after a female student alleged she had been the victim of an attempted rape. Venezuela has the fifth highest murder rate in the world, and crime is rife in many urban centres. The students also complained about record inflation (official figures suggest yearly inflation in December 2013 stood at 56.2%) and shortages of basic food items. The protests in Tachira turned violent, triggering the arrest of several students, which in turn led to demonstrations in Caracas calling for their release. The protests in Caracas started on 12 February and turned deadly when three people were shot by gunmen following a largely peaceful march that same day. There have been many demonstrations since then, varying in size from small gatherings to large rallies. Venezuela protests end in violence Who is protesting? Students were the first to protest, but they were soon joined by hardliners from within the umbrella opposition group Table for Democratic Unity (MUD). Leopoldo Lopez, a former mayor and political maverick, and Maria Corina Machado, an MP, are the main political figures in the movement. After the detention of hundreds of protesters and accusations that the security forces used excessive force, a more moderate wing of the opposition also took to the streets. According to many observers and opposition leader Henrique Capriles, the protests are made up of a middle-class majority, with middle-class concerns. Leopoldo Lopez: Venezuela's maverick opposition leader What do the protesters want? At first, their main demand was for increased security. But they have since broadened their demands to include the release of all those detained in previous protests, and economic changes to curb high inflation and alleviate shortages of some staples. Many demonstrators say the government is beyond change and demand President Nicolas Maduro's resignation. What does the government say? The government accuses the opposition of trying to stage a coup with backing from the United States and has arrested a number of opposition leaders on charges of inciting violence. It has drawn parallels between the protests and a brief coup that took place against Hugo Chavez in 2002. President Maduro has called the protesters \"fascists\". Who is behind the violence? Both protesters and members of the security forces have died in the violence which has marred some of the protests. The opposition has accused pro-government motorcycle gangs, as well as the security forces, of shooting live rounds into opposition crowds. The government says \"fascists\" are behind the violence, instigating riots and encouraging people to erect barricades. A number of motorcyclists have been decapitated by barbed wire strung across residential streets to hinder the security forces. Will the protests create change? These are not only the largest protests since Mr Maduro took office, they are also Venezuela's biggest protests in over a decade, spreading to other cities beyond Caracas. However, so far they seem confined mainly, though not exclusively, to the middle class. The government's popularity remains high amid its working-class voters, who gave it a further boost in local elections in December. Mr Capriles has said that as long as the protests do not spread to a wider sector of society, it is unlikely there will be any change.",

Levi's Pride collection of t-shirts and jackets are made partly in India, where it is also illegal to be gay. Both companies said they donated to organisations that promote LGBT rights. Last month, Primark came under fire after releasing a Pride collection partly made in Myanmar - where homosexuality is banned. Now it has emerged that high street chain H&M makes some of its Pride garments in Bangladesh, where gay activists are targeted. In 2016 a gay rights activist and his friend were murdered by Islamist extremists. H&M items from its Pride range are also manufactured in Turkey and China - countries where homosexuality is legal but where activists says gay people suffer homophobia. Last year, the Turkish capital Ankara banned all gay festivals, screenings, forums and exhibitions on security grounds. H&M said 10% of the sale price from the H&M's Love For All collection will be donated to the UN's Free & Equal campaign. Levi's told the BBC they have donated to a charity in India that campaigns to reverse the current ban in the country on homosexuality. Newsnight also found other firms' Pride collections are made in places where LGBT communities face discrimination - including Disney's Pride collection, which is made in China. Meanwhile, other companies approached did not reveal the sourcing of their Pride collections. Nike's BeTrue range came out last month. However, the company has refused to tell Newsnight where the range was made. Adidas has brought out Pride Running Shoes. The organisation has not disclosed to the BBC where they are manufactured. Several companies make their Pride range in countries where there are no laws that outlaw homosexuality. Apple's rainbow watch strap is made in Japan. Burberry's Rainbow Legacy range is made in Italy and Scotland. Steve Taylor, director of EuroPride, an umbrella group for European Pride organisers, criticised H&M and Levi's for manufacturing products in countries where homosexuality is not allowed. \"They shouldn't be making these products in countries where LGBT equality isn't a reality,\" he said. \"It's a bit of a smack in the face for somebody who goes to work every day, printing Pride on a t-shirt, but if they were to wear that to walk down the street they would probably be killed.\" 'Embarrassed' The UN Human Rights Office of the High Commissioner said they were not aware of where H&M's collection had been manufactured - but that it did not affect its partnership with the shop. \"I think they're embarrassed,\" said Andy Train, co-chair of the UK Pride Organisers Network. \"The information is out there, they just need to probe a little bit deeper and think hard before they enter into these agreements. \"It's easy to fly a rainbow flag, or to rebrand with a rainbow going through their logo on social media. Pride event organisers will be asking questions.\" The gay rights charity Stonewall - which gets 20% of the sale price of Primark's Acceptance without Exception collection - defended the decision to partner with the company. A spokesperson from Stonewall said: \"This partnership with Primark will support our international programmes, which over the past 12 months have supported nearly 100 activists from across Eastern Europe, Central Asia, the Caucasus and South Africa.\" You can watch Newsnight weekdays at 22:30 on BBC Two.",

The analysis comes as further education members of the University and College Union strike over pay. The government says it is determined young people should have funding to \"enjoy high-quality courses\". Chancellor George Osborne has asked government departments to come up with savings plans for 25% and 40% of their budget ahead of the Spending Review on 25 November. 'Cliff edge' Labour commissioned researchers at the House of Commons library to model the effect of a 25% cut on college budgets. The researchers used last year's budgets, updated to this year's prices, to calculate that savings of 25% would amount to £1.625bn from a total budget of £6.5bn. Almost three-quarters of the money goes to further education colleges, so if the cut fell proportionally FE colleges would lose £1.173bn and sixth-form colleges £451m overall, say the researchers. According to the calculations this could mean the closure of 80 FE colleges and 56 sixth-form colleges - a total of 136 or 40% of the 335 colleges, says Labour. Shadow education secretary Lucy Powell said the government was \"putting post-16 education on a cliff edge, harming opportunities for the next generation and holding our young people and our country back\". \"It is simply not possible to build a 21st-Century economy on falling investment in education,\" Ms Powell argued, saying Labour would have protected the whole education budget from cuts. James Kewin, deputy chief executive of the Sixth Form Colleges Association, called the analysis \"deeply worrying\". It \"confirms our fears that some sixth-form colleges could be wiped from the educational map after the Spending Review. Pay freeze \"Funding for 16- to 19-year-olds, already significantly lower than for younger students, has been cut three times since 2011 and it seems certain that further reductions will be made next year.\" FE college staff, striking over a pay freeze, say they have suffered a real-terms cut of more than 17% over five years. University and College Union general secretary Sally Hunt said she feared for the future of the sector. \"Colleges need stable investment to continue to help people of all backgrounds fulfil their potential,\" she said. The Association of Colleges said the pay freeze reflected \"stringent financial circumstances in the sector\". Colleges \"simply cannot take more cuts\", said chief executive Martin Doel. Mr Doel urged the government to fund post-16 education at the same level as education for younger students, \"to ensure adult skills training does not become a thing of the past\". The government announced area-based reviews of post-16 education and training in the summer, aiming to streamline spending. \"We need to move towards fewer, larger, more resilient and efficient colleges,\" wrote Skills Minister Nick Boles in guidance. A Department for Education spokesman did not directly address Labour's figures but reiterated that the government was \"reforming further education to give employers and local authorities a greater say over how and what young people are taught so that training meets local labour market needs, while ensuring the best return on investment for public funding\". \"We are determined that post-16 providers have the resources they need to ensure young people in further education can enjoy high quality courses.\"",

More deaths would follow a rise in cases over coming weeks, he said, and urged people to limit social contact. On Monday, Boris Johnson is expected to announce tougher restrictions. In a statement to MPs, the prime minister is expected to set out plans for a three-tier local lockdown system which would see every region in England placed in one of three tiers, depending on the severity of cases. Across the UK, the R number - the average number of people each infected person passes the virus onto - is now estimated between 1.2 and 1.5. Anything above 1.0 means cases are increasing. On Saturday, 15,166 people in the UK were reported to have tested positive for coronavirus - up 1,302 on Friday's figure, according to the government's dashboard. There were a further 81 deaths - a decrease of six on Friday. However, the Office for National Statistics estimates 224,000 people in homes in England had the virus, up to 1 October - roughly double the figure reported by the ONS for each of the preceding two weeks. In his statement published on Sunday, Prof Van-Tam said that while the epidemic \"re-started\" again among younger people over the past few weeks, there is \"clear evidence of a gradual spread into older age groups\" in the worst-hit areas. \"Sadly, just as night follows day, increases in deaths will now follow on in the next few weeks,\" Prof Van-Tam said. He warned that the UK was in a different position than during the first wave because \"we are now are going into the colder, darker winter months\". \"We are in the middle of a severe pandemic and the seasons are against us. Basically, we are running into a headwind,\" he said. But he also said the UK has \"much improved testing capabilities\" and \"better treatments\" available, meaning that \"we know where it is and how to tackle it\". He stressed the importance of following public health guidance and minimising contact with others, adding: \"I know this is very hard, but it is an unfortunate scientific fact that the virus thrives on humans making social contact with one another.\" Find out how the pandemic has affected your area and how it compares with the national average.

It comes as the Labour Party and business groups voiced concern at the \"ripple effect\" of Covid shutdowns that are expected to be announced on Monday. Labour claims that close to one million workers will be at risk because the chancellor's plan to pay staff at UK companies that are told to close 67% of their wages does not extend to those who may be indirectly affected, such as those in supply chains. The Treasury denied firms that are not fully closed would not receive help. A spokesperson said: \"We do not recognise these figures,\" adding that Labour had \"incorrectly\" listed some sectors as not benefitting from the scheme. Prime Minister Boris Johnson will set out the new rules for hotspots in the House of Commons on Monday. Every region of England is expected to be placed in one of three tiers, with the Liverpool City Region thought to be in the category with the strictest rules. Plans are not yet finalised, BBC political correspondent Chris Mason said, but that is likely to mean pubs will close, restaurants could face restrictions, people may even be told not to travel in and out of the area. Schools and universities would remain open. More talks are expected on Sunday between the government and leaders in parts of England that are expecting new restrictions. Council leaders and mayors have expressed their anger at what they see as inadequate help for those who will no longer be able to work. Many regions are demanding more local control over contact tracing, while others have raised the possibility of legal action if they do not get the support they demand. The government says it is committed to involving local leaders in decision-making. Discussions with Downing Street on Friday were described on Merseyside as \"frosty,\" but \"cordial and giving on both sides\". Leaders in Greater Manchester do not yet have another meeting with the government arranged, Chris Mason added - but one is expected before the prime minister's statement on Monday. In Nottingham, Newcastle, Sunderland, Leeds and elsewhere, leaders and residents await the announcement of the template for the next phase of the pandemic. How has coronavirus affected you?

The move follows a March report by the Australian Crime Commission (ACC) that found ice posed the highest risk to communities of any illegal substance. PM Tony Abbott said use of the drug was a growing problem around Australia. \"As a citizen and as a parent I am appalled at what is happening on our streets and in our homes,\" Mr Abbott said at a press conference on Wednesday. \"Ice is far more addictive than any other illicit drug. It does far more damage than any other illicit drug,\" he said. \"The propensity for violence, the propensity to subsequent, very serious mental illness, the propensity to disfigurement which ice produces means that this is a drug epidemic way beyond anything that we have seen before now.\" High price According to a 2013 National Drug Strategy Household Survey, 7% of the Australian population aged 14 years or older have reported using amphetamine or methamphetamine at least once in their lifetime. In the same survey, 2.1% reported recent use. These figures remain unchanged from those reported in 2010. The reported use of powder methamphetamine fell significantly between 2010 and 2013 but the reported use of ice more than doubled. People are also using ice more frequently, with many people using it daily or weekly. The crime commission report found that the purity of the drug available in Australia had increased over the past few years, making it even more dangerous. It said the price of crystal meth in Australia was among the highest in the world, driving the country's organised crime gangs to trade increasingly in the drug. More than 60% of Australia's major organised crime figures now deal in crystal meth. It said that, according to the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), the average street price per gram of methamphetamine in China is $80 (A$105, £54), whereas in Australia it is $500. Wholesale prices in Australia have been recorded as ranging from A$90,000 ($68,875, £44,450) to A$325,000 per kg.

On 31 December Mr Martin, 32, hired a van in Luton and drove to Peterborough where he bought a metal jerry can, fire starters, windproof matches, binoculars, a torch and a lock knife. Parked outside home He then filled the can with 17 litres of unleaded petrol, the inquest at Boston Enterprise Centre heard. Mr Martin drove to Boston and later parked the van outside Ms Edmunds' home on Pear Tree Road. Shortly before 03:00 GMT on New Year's Day Mr Martin was seen by one of Ms Edmunds' flatmates with a knife, and a \"smell of fuel\" was also noticed. The causes of death of all three victims was given as smoke inhalation, although the coroner noted that Mr Hicks, 24, had been stabbed in the heart. 'Started deliberately' All three bodies were badly burnt, and the victims had to be identified by dental records, the inquest heard. Matthew Perrin, of Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue Service, said it was \"highly probably the fire was started deliberately\". \"A 20-litre metal jerry can was found in the debris of the house. The cap was in an open position,\" he added. Ms Edmunds, 27, had been in a relationship with Mr Martin since September 2018. She ended it after Christmas as she found him \"overbearing and smothering\", the inquest heard. She then went back to live in Kirton and was seen in the rented house with Mr Hicks, 24, with whom she had had a previous relationship. Ms Edmunds later told a flatmate, Natalie Hall, that Mr Martin had \"quit his job, went off the rails and went a bit mental\". Returning his verdict, Mr Smith said he felt it was relevant to note evidence that had Mr Martin survived the fire he would have been charged with murder. Mr Smith said he was satisfied Mr Martin \"wanted to end his own life\". Following the inquest the family of Jay Edmunds said in a statement: \"Jay was brutally murdered by a person that we trusted. We will never begin to understand why. \"Our hearts are broken and our life will never be the same. A statement from Billy Hicks' family said: \"He had his whole life in front of him which was cruelly taken away without a thought for his family or his friends.\"",

Historic England said 2018 saw 924 new listed buildings and structures. The year, which marked the centenary of the end of World War One, saw 638 war memorials added to the list or upgraded in status. Pedestrian Subway, Vestibule, Terrace and Stairs beneath Crystal Palace Parade, London The Crystal Palace subway, vestibule, terrace and stairs provide an elaborate pedestrian passageway, with finely-crafted Byzantine-style vaulting in red and cream brick and chequered floors in alternating stone. The structure dates from 1865 and was built to link a new railway station directly to the entrance of the Crystal Palace.

Woodford conceived the group of sculptures to occupy the land in the outer ditch of Nottingham Castle, the setting of one of the most popular legendary tales of Robin Hood. Tidal Observatory, Newlyn, Cornwall In the early 20th Century, the south pier at Newlyn was extended to give better protection to the harbour and a tidal observatory was built at its north end. The observatory was one of three constructed at the request of Ordnance Survey to establish Mean Sea Level. With the observatory being completed in 1914, hourly measurements were taken of the height of the tide between 1915 and 1921, determining that Newlyn was the most stable and therefore the principal place to establish Mean Sea Level for the entire country. The Cock Sign, Sutton High Street The Cock Sign stands at a prominent location at the junction of Sutton High Street and Carshalton Road. It dates to about 1907 and originates from a pub called The Cock that was located at a junction known as The Cock Cross Roads and owned by \"Gentleman Jackson\" (1769-1845), a celebrated English boxer who won the title Champion of England. Old Lifeboat House, East Terrace, Walton-on-the-Naze, Essex The former lifeboat house, built in 1884, was designed by CH Cooke and represents the crucial role played by the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) in saving lives at sea since the 19th Century. Historic England said its wide gabled structure and ornamental treatment, made up of fish-scale tiling, decorative moulded brick, and a beautifully incorporated bay window, created a finely detailed and strikingly composed building. University of York Campus, Heslington, York The University of York Campus designed landscape was laid out between 1963 and 1980. Historic England described it as a high-quality post-war university landscape that fulfils the architects' masterplan vision of creating a town in miniature with a pedestrianised environment. The landscape is relatively unaltered since it was laid out. Wing Test Hangars, Rolls-Royce Hucknall, Nottinghamshire In 1934, Rolls Royce leased two hangars at the Hucknall airfield in Nottinghamshire, which was established in 1917, and created a testing programme there for aero engines and equipment. The building is largely intact and features many surviving fixtures dating back to the mid-20th Century, including an engine-testing control panel, observation windows, wing spar mount assembly, roller doors, pierced metal sheet lining, as well as fittings and support for a de-tuner. Cattle trough and drinking fountain, Hampstead, London Cattle troughs were once commonplace in Britain, with the Metropolitan Drinking Fountain and Cattle Trough Association responsible for more than 1,000 of them. About 500 of these were located in London, however a large number have now been lost. The trough in Spaniards Road is believed to have been erected in 1916, making it a particularly late example of its type. Although the pump and spout mechanism are missing, the cattle trough serves as a reminder of a time in the early 20th Century when horse-drawn transport was still commonplace, despite the increasing use of cars. Cricket Pavilion, Uppingham School, Rutland Sir Walter John Tapper, a notable architect with many listed buildings to his name, was commissioned by Uppingham School to follow the tradition of public schools and universities investing in cricket pavilions. Uppingham School's pavilion has a deep thatched roof and an interior with finely detailed features such as delicate leaf-like plasterwork on the ceiling and ornate ironmongery on the windows. East Mellwaters (walled settlement) County Durham This walled settlement at East Mellwaters in County Durham is a rare form of late prehistoric settlement. Traditionally, in Northern England, Iron Age and Roman-British native settlements take a variety of forms, with enclosures being defined by a bank and a ditch. Former Otterington Railway Station, North Yorkshire This station building at the former Otterington Railway Station in North Yorkshire with its signal box was built by the London and North Eastern Railway (LNER) in 1932.

In his first interview since the incident, Mark Pearse told BBC News it could happen to any organisation. \"It's a threat to society,\" he said. \"There is no sector that's immune to this,\" said Mr Pearse, commercial director of Eurofins in four countries, including Britain. \"We've got the transport sector, the energy sector, the health sector, other public organisations, the criminal justice system. \"We're all vulnerable,\" he said. 'Grinding halt' The cyber-attack affected Eurofins' IT systems in the 47 countries where it operates. Mr Pearse said he was first told about it in a call at 05:00, as he was about to catch a flight from Manchester Airport, and spent the day on the phone dealing with the fallout. \"The labs are quite dependent on IT and everything these days is either controlled by IT, all the data is stored on servers, and so the processes quickly came to a grinding halt,\" he explained. Eurofins' forensic science division in the UK, where it has seven sites and 60% of the market, was especially badly hit, so after consulting police chiefs and senior prosecutors, the company decided to stop accepting samples of blood, DNA and other scientific evidence from suspects, victims and crime scenes. \"It has huge implications,\" said Mr Pearse, a molecular cell biologist who used to work for the Metropolitan Police and the state-run Forensic Science Service. \"We're the biggest private provider so that was quite a decision to make,\" he said. \"We do many hundreds, many thousands of cases and samples... \"So very quickly the job in hand was partly to investigate the cyber-incident, and the consequences from an IT perspective... and to provide continuity of service.\" Ransom paid? The National Police Chiefs' Council co-ordinated emergency measures to manage the flow of specimens submitted for analysis so that the most serious cases were given priority by other providers. \"Inevitably, if you take 60% or so of the capacity out of the forensic science sector you can't carry on as 'business as usual',\" said Mr Pearse. \"The other suppliers can't cope with all the work so backlogs, to a limited degree, did build up in police forces.\" Towards the end of July a backlog of 20,000 samples had developed but that has now been cut to around 10,000 as services have returned to normal. BBC News was told that Eurofins had paid the cyber-criminals a ransom to restore its IT systems but Mr Pearse refused to comment. \"The National Crime Agency is now taking an international lead in the criminal investigation into this crime on Eurofins group and that investigation is ongoing and will probably be ongoing for some months and therefore it's subject to those usual constraints,\" he said.",

            "input": "In October, 321 patients were delayed for more than four weeks after they were ready to go home. The issue, known as bed blocking, has left people stuck in hospital while support arrangements are put in place. The NHS is also continuing to miss a range of waiting time targets, including for A&E and child patients. The four-week bed blocking target is being cut to two weeks next April. Scotland's new health secretary, Shona Robison, said reducing delayed discharges from hospital was one of her top priorities. The latest figures for patients delayed in hospital compared with 274 in July and 156 in October 2013. Of the 321 patients included in the latest figures, 145 were waiting for a place to become available in a care home, while a further 90 were waiting to return to their own house. The figures also showed 215 patients were delayed for more than six weeks in October this year, compared with 175 in July and 100 last October. 'Nightmare scenario' Ms Robison said: \"Reducing delayed discharge and tackling its impact on services is something I will take forward as an absolute key priority. \"That is because reducing delayed discharge not only helps individual patients, who benefit from getting home or to a homely setting as quickly as possible, but also eases pressure across the system - including in A&E. \"Although delayed discharge has been reduced by two thirds under this government, these figures show that there is still much to do.\" Meanwhile, one in 10 people are waiting longer than four hours in Accident and Emergency, although more people than ever turned up for treatment. A target to treat children with mental health problems within six months is also being missed. Ms Robison said the \"overwhelming majority\" of people were receiving care within shorter timescales but accepted that more must be done. She welcomed NHS Scotland continuing to meet the target to treat patients within 18 weeks of referral, with 90.1% of people seen within time in September. NHS Ayrshire and Arran, NHS Forth Valley, NHS Grampian and NHS Lothian were the only health boards to miss the target. The national standard for 98% of new attendances at A&E departments to be seen and then admitted, transferred or discharged within four hours was met for 93.5% of patients in September. Figures show that the last time the standard was met across Scotland was September 2009, with the target hit on only eight occasions since July 2007. Liberal Democrat health spokesman Jim Hume blamed the government for the bed blocking and waiting time delays. He said: \"With patients aged 75 and over accounting for three quarters of bed days occupied by delayed patients, it seems SNP mismanagement is failing Scotland's older people.\" 'Breaking point' Mr Hume said waiting times showed \"a health system creaking at the seams as a result of SNP mismanagement\". Labour's Rhoda Grant MSP said: \"Bed blocking is a significant issue for Scotland's NHS, draining essential resources from a system already stretched to breaking point. \"As Shona Robison takes over from Alex Neil, she must answer Scottish Labour's call for a wholesale review of the NHS in Scotland - including the provision of social care - making sure we have an NHS fit for the 21st Century.\" Jackson Carlaw, the Scottish Conservative health spokesman, said: \"It's utterly unacceptable that more than 1,000 people in the last three months have been stranded in hospital when they're perfectly fit to leave. \"This is a nightmare scenario for patients and hospital managers.\" He added: \"The Scottish government made great play of its plan to reduce A&E attendances some years ago. \"But given we've just had the busiest September on record, it's clear that strategy has been a massive failure.\" Cosla spokesman Peter Johnston said council leaders had already agreed to focus on discharge within 72 hours of people being judged clinically ready to go home. He added: \"At the same time, a commitment to reform and progressive ideals will not, in itself, deliver the improvement required. \"We will need to reflect on how we can build social care capacity to make the system work more effectively and this will require heavy investment over the next few years.\"",

His departure comes after an \"extended break\", Rockstar's parent company Take-Two Interactive said. Rockstar's series have often courted controversy, but are among the best-selling and most critically-acclaimed games of the past two decades. Mr Houser will officially depart in March, according to a notice Take-Two sent to US financial regulators. His brother Sam Houser will remain as the company's president. Dan Houser was one of the lead writers for the Grand Theft Auto series, as well as Rockstar's other hits, Bully and Red Dead Redemption.

In its filing, Take-Two wrote it was \"extremely grateful\" for Mr Houser's contributions and that the remaining team was focused on upcoming projects. Grand Theft Auto V, released in 2013, was one of the most commercially successful games of the decade, selling well over 100 million copies. Rockstar's controversial success The Grand Theft Auto series, as the name suggests, is mostly about stealing cars. It puts players in the shoes of a criminal, wanting to build an empire - allowing them to engage in robbery, murder, or soliciting prostitution. The violent and sexual nature of the games has made the company a frequent target of criticism by politicians and special interest groups. But the company has also recently had to battle controversy among its fans. In 2018, while the company was creating the award-winning and hugely successful Red Dead Redemption 2, Dan Houser told Vulture that the team was working 100-hour weeks. The comment caused a stir at a time when many game journalists and fans were beginning to discuss so-called \"crunch\", where staff work to meet tight deadlines for a game's release. Even during the creation of the first Red Dead Redemption in 2010, spouses and partners of the game's developers wrote an open letter accusing Rockstar of working them \"to the brink\". Rockstar is known for taking longer than the norm to develop its games. The company did not announce Mr Houser's replacement or respond to requests for further comment.

She said one letter recounted owners sexually abusing female slaves on plantations in the West Indies. She will help stage an exhibition on the correspondence later this year. The letters were sent by Highland owners to relatives in Inverness. Dr Kehoe said researchers at the centre, which is part of the University of the Highlands and Islands, found the evidence of women being used as sex slaves. She said: \"That is particularly disturbing. It is difficult to read things like that. \"One particular letter that was from the 18th Century talks about this relatively graphically. \"It is unusual for the 18th Century to find somebody writing so clearly about what was going on, basically saying that every plantation owner, married or not, had slaves for sexual gratification.\" 'Forgotten past' The exhibition, which also involves the Edinburgh Beltane organisation, will be held at Highland Council's archive centre in Inverness. The Highlands connection with slavery has previously been described by one historian as the region's \"forgotten past\". Dr David Alston, a Highland councillor, researched the region's links with slavery for a series of lectures in Inverness in 2007. He found Inverness's old infirmary and academy, along with Fortrose Academy, received money from the trade. Dr Alston said, during the 1700s and 1800s, Highlanders sought their fortunes in the colonies. His investigations grew from researching the historic village of Cromarty on the Black Isle. Dr Alston was intrigued when he read how Hugh Miller, a geologist and fossil collector who was born and brought up in Cromarty in the 1800s, had sat next to a black pupil in school. It led him to find there were three black pupils at Inverness Royal Academy around the same time. They were the children of men who had married slaves, or women known at the time as free coloured, while working on or running sugar plantations in the West and East Indies. War of Independence A Scottish soldier's request to take his daughter's black slave called Doll with him to war in 1782 was also highlighted by a Highland Council-run Am Baile history website in 2009. Lt Soirle MacDonald, from Skye, was a loyalist fighting for the British Army in the American War of Independence.

However, critics called it \"pointless\" and said it would have little effect. Mr Khan said his critics had consistently opposed efforts to improve air quality. Conservative London Assembly environment spokesman, Shaun Bailey, said Transport for London's (TfL) consultation on the T-charge showed the charge would have a negligible effect on air pollution in the city. TfL's assessment said: \"As this scheme affects just 7% of vehicles entering the Congestion Charge zone, the anticipated reduction in air pollution is low and it was felt that air quality concentration modelling would not produce any significant results.\" It added the scheme was still considered to be an important part of a transition towards the introduction of an expanded ultra low emission zone in the capital, which it is believed would have much greater impact on air quality. London's ultra low emission zone, which currently surrounds central London, would be extended to the north and south circular roads by 2020, under the mayor's proposals. Mr Bailey claimed up to 9,000 drivers a day could be hit with the additional charge netting City Hall an estimated £23m a year. \"Under assessment by his own people, the mayor's flagship air pollution policy is predicted to have only a 'negligible' impact on air quality, reducing poisonous NOx gasses by just 1-3%,\" he added. Mr Bailey added the charge would inflict \"crippling additional costs on small businesses\" as well as causing \"expense, disruption and bureaucracy for London residents.\" However, Mr Khan hit back saying the Conservatives should be \"thoroughly ashamed of themselves\" for opposing his plans to tackle air pollution, which he said had the support of a range of experts. City Hall also suggested the £23m figure was highly misleading as it assumed no change in the behaviour of drivers after the T-charge was introduced.

And more than 60 independent British festivals - including Boardmasters and Bestival - have banned plastic straws as part of a pledge to rid their sites of single-use plastic by 2021. Most straws are made from plastics such as polypropylene and polystyrene, which unless recycled take hundreds of years to decompose. Many end up in landfill and the oceans, and the BBC's Blue Planet II highlighted the damage plastic can cause to marine wildlife. But not everyone thinks total bans are the answer. Plastic straws enable many disabled people to drink independently, Baroness Tanni Grey-Thompson said. She said paper alternatives were not always suitable or safe. And Tetra Pak - the food packaging company - has said plastic straws serve a \"vital\" function in cartons and should not be banned. It argues that straws can be recycled together with cartons if they are pushed back into the box. Transcend Packaging in Wales, and Huhtamaki in Belfast, will supply the straws for all 1,361 McDonald's restaurants. The straws will use paper from certified sustainable sources, the company said. \"The government's ambitious plans, combined with strong customer opinion, has helped to accelerate the move away from plastic and I'm proud that we've been able to play our part,\" said Paul Pomroy, chief executive of McDonald's UK and Ireland.",

            "input": "The planemaker's chief executive, Tom Enders, said Airbus \"will have to make potentially very harmful decisions for the UK\" in the event of no deal. He said it was a \"disgrace\" that firms could still not plan for Brexit. His remarks were welcomed by Business Minister Richard Harrington, who said Airbus was correct to warn of the dangers of a no-deal scenario. \"Crashing out is a disaster for business,\" Mr Harrington told a meeting at the German embassy on Thursday morning. \"Airbus is correct to say it publicly about and I'm delighted they have done so,\" he added. In all, Airbus employs 14,000 people in the UK. That includes 6,000 jobs at its main wings factory at Broughton in Wales, as well as 3,000 at Filton, near Bristol, where wings are designed and supported. Mr Enders said: \"Please don't listen to the Brexiteers' madness which asserts that, because we have huge plants here, we will not move and we will always be here. They are wrong.\" Responding to Airbus's statement, a government spokesperson said: \"The UK is a world leader in aerospace. We are the home of the jet engine, the wing factory of the world and are world-renowned for our skills and capabilities in the most technically-advanced parts of aerospace manufacturing. \"It remains our top priority to leave the EU with a good deal; a deal that is good for business, will protect jobs and prosperity, and provide the certainty that business needs.\" Recent moves Airbus's latest intervention follows announcements by two other companies that they were moving their headquarters out of the UK. Sony said it would transfer its European HQ from the UK to the Netherlands to avoid disruptions caused by Brexit. And appliance maker Dyson announced it was moving its headquarters to Singapore, from Malmesbury in Wiltshire, although it said the decision had nothing to do with Brexit. However, another firm, Japanese technology company Fujitsu, told the BBC it had \"zero intention\" of moving its operations out of London. Duncan Tait, Fujitsu's European boss, said it had \"a thriving business in the UK\", adding: \"We're recruiting people every week.\" Mr Enders said that while the world's second-largest aerospace group could not \"pick up and move our large UK factories to other parts of the world immediately\", Airbus could be \"forced to redirect future investments in the event of a no-deal Brexit\". \"And make no mistake, there are plenty of countries out there who would love to build the wings for Airbus aircraft,\" he added. \"Brexit is threatening to destroy a century of development based on education, research and human capital.\" Katherine Bennett, senior vice-president of Airbus in the UK, reinforced Mr Enders' message. She told the BBC that a no-deal Brexit would be \"catastrophic\" for her business, with \"chaos at the borders\" that would hold up delivery of vital components. This is not the first time that Airbus has warned of the consequences for its business of a no-deal Brexit. Last year, it issued a risk assessment saying that if the UK left the EU without a withdrawal deal, it \"would force Airbus to reconsider its investments in the UK and its long-term footprint in the country\". However, Mr Enders' latest remarks suggest that the firm has toughened its stance since then. MPs are putting forward alternative plans to Theresa May's Brexit plan after it was voted down by Parliament last week. The UK is due to leave the EU on 29 March this year. Analysis by Theo Leggett, BBC business correspondent The gloves are off. That's the clear message from Airbus' pugnacious chief executive, Tom Enders. Opposition to Brexit from Airbus is not new. The company warned of the potential dangers to its business even before the referendum had taken place. Since then, the rhetoric has been steadily ramped up. Last year, the company published a \"Brexit Risk Assessment\", in which it warned that leaving without a deal would be \"catastrophic\" for its business. We've had warnings about the risk to future investment before, but now the threat is much more explicit and the language is much more forthright. The failure to come up with a clear plan is a \"disgrace\". Other countries would \"love\" to build the aircraft wings currently made at Broughton. There's even a warning not to listen to \"the Brexiteers' madness\". The time for diplomacy, it seems, is past. So what's changed? The company clearly believes that the risk of \"no deal\" is growing, thanks to the impasse in the House of Commons. And as a business which relies on the rapid transfer of parts from the UK to assembly lines in France and Germany, it is very exposed to any delays in shipments - or problems getting new safety certification. Meanwhile, Tom Enders is due to leave his job in April. So perhaps he's in a very good position to talk tough, without worrying whom he's upsetting in the process.

            "input": "Its operator BAA warned of \"gridlock\" and said passengers could face 12-hour delays on Wednesday when immigration officers go on strike over pensions. BAA said it was holding talks with airlines and the UK Border Agency. PM David Cameron said it was clear there would be an impact at ports and airports, but borders would be secure. \"At the very least there will be longer queues and people will have to wait longer at borders,\" his spokesman said. He added the government was still working on contingency plans and gathering information on the impact of the strikes. 'Held on aircraft' Virgin Atlantic said it was \"very concerned\", adding it would allow passengers booked on inbound flights on Wednesday to rebook for travel up to four days earlier or later. BA said it was doing everything it could to protect its customers and they could switch flights free of charge. BMI said it planned to operate as normal and was also working to minimise disruption, while Cathay Pacific urged its passengers to postpone and rebook their flights. In a letter to all airlines operating into Heathrow, chief operating officer Norman Boivin said: \"The delays at immigration are likely to be so long that passengers could not be safely accommodated within the terminals and would need to be held on arriving aircraft. \"This in turn would quickly create gridlock at the airport with no available aircraft parking stands, mass cancellations or departing aircraft and diversions outside the UK for arriving aircraft.\" BBC transport correspondent Richard Lister said aviation officials were working on the basis that immigration staffing levels would be at a maximum of 30-50%, and that most of those checking passports would have no experience and little training. During the summer strike, border agency managers ran passport control but this time they are expected to strike too, our correspondent added. Lucy Morton, deputy general secretary of the Immigration Services Union, said she regretted its members were striking. \"This union hasn't taken industrial action at all in its 28-year history. This is something our members feel deeply and desperately strongly about, but nonetheless it's no-one's wish to disrupt the border, or to cause chaos to the travelling public. It's the only way we have left to get the government to hear us.\" She added that although she believed they would not have public sympathy for the action, she wanted it to be effective so they would not have to take further action. The warning from Heathrow, which handles more international passengers than any other airport, came after immigration staff voted to join the strike by public sector workers. Strikes are being held over changes to public sector pensions and thousands of border agency workers are expected to be among up to two million who could walk out. Scott Stanley, Gatwick airport's chief operating officer, said the strikes were likely to affect arriving flights at airports across the UK and warned passengers to be prepared. \"Unfortunately, airport staff cannot man the desks at the border zone but we will provide all necessary assistance to the Border Agency,\" he added. 'Mass cancellations' He said hundreds of airport volunteers planned to come in to help and all non-essential work and meetings had been cancelled. Elsewhere: On Wednesday it emerged that civil servants were being asked to act as airport border staff during the strike action. The Home Office is pulling in border agency staff who are not union members and civil servants from Whitehall to carry out immigration checks. In a statement, the department said it was too early to speculate on how many people would join the strike, and that it was exploring all options to minimise disruption. Rob Whiteman, chief executive of the UK Border Agency, said they had spent the last weeks and months considering all options to ensure they were prepared for union action. Disruption at the UK's largest airport is expected to be particularly severe because nearly 100 long-haul services are due to arrive before 09:00 GMT on the day of the strike. Meanwhile, former Labour Home Secretary Alan Johnson indicated he was backing next week's strike - a stance that is at odds with his party. Unions say proposals which require their members to work longer before collecting their pension and contribute more are unfair, but the government says change is needed to keep down the cost to the taxpayer, because people are living longer. Simon Walker, director general of the Institute of Directors, said the strike would be a disaster for the UK and questioned whether it should be allowed. Meanwhile, it has been confirmed that no buses or trains will operate across Northern Ireland next Wednesday due to the strike.",

            "input": "The Scottish government plans the move as part of its new diet and obesity strategy to help people lose weight. Ministers also want to see the broadcast of TV adverts for unhealthy food banned before the 21:00 watershed. TV chef Jamie Oliver, a prominent campaigner for healthier eating, described it as \"trailblazing\" and urged the UK government to follow suit. He said: \"This is an amazing step towards making sure the healthiest choice is the easiest choice - for everyone. \"Today, Scotland has set an example to the rest of the world. It has picked up the baton that Westminster dropped last year. So, now the ball is back in the UK government's court. \"We need to ensure everyone in Britain has a chance to raise their children in a healthy environment.\" Public health minister Aileen Campbell said obesity \"significantly increases\" the risk of developing conditions like diabetes, heart disease and depression. Ms Campbell launched a consultation on the plans at Tynecastle Stadium in Edinburgh, where she met participants in the Football Fans in Training programme. She later told MSPs that the government was putting forward \"bold\" measures which would \"make a real, lasting difference to the country's health\". These include plans to restrict price promotions on food and drink high in fat, sugar and salt in areas around visitor attractions and on routes to schools, and £40m of investment to deliver almost 100,000 \"supported weight management interventions\" for people with or at risk of type two diabetes. Ms Campbell also said that if the UK government did not commit to banning TV adverts for unhealthy food before the 21:00 watershed, the Scottish government would ask for powers to be devolved so it could do so itself. The SNP MSP said: \"Simply put, it's harming the people of Scotland. It also puts pressure on the NHS, other public services and our economy. \"That is why we need commitment and action from everyone across all sectors and at all levels including government, citizens, the public sector and businesses right across the country.\" Health and retail organisations broadly welcomed the consultation, alongside opposition parties. Cancer Research UK said it was \"great to see a range of bold proposals\" in the strategy, saying that Scotland has been \"in the grip of an obesity epidemic for far too long\". The British Medical Association Scotland said \"ambitious\" action was needed \"across every part of society in Scotland if we are to successfully reduce levels of obesity in future years\". The Scottish Grocers Federation said \"clamping down on promotions\" was \"too blunt an instrument to really impact on consumer behaviour\", but welcomed the consultation and said the key role retailers had to play would be reflected in their response. Scottish Conservative health spokesman Miles Briggs said efforts to tackle obesity \"could not come soon enough\", stressing the need to work across parties and portfolios to do so. Scottish Labour MSP Colin Smyth said the \"obesity crisis is the single biggest public health challenge facing Scotland today\", and said \"bold, radical action is very much needed\". The consultation on the diet and obesity strategy will run until the end of January 2018.",

            "input": "Yet the identity of many of these female artists has been hidden. Often they would not sign their work, or just used initials. Other pieces were subsumed under the name of an advertising agency. Now Poster Girls, an exhibition of work by women at the forefront of graphic design, is to go on display at the London Transport Museum in Covent Garden. Here are some of the artworks by women who influenced the London brand. At the beginning of the 20th Century, the opportunities for female illustrators were generally limited to book and magazine illustration. The first known poster by a woman to appear on the transport network was Kew Gardens by Tram, by Ella Coates in 1910. She signed her work without her first name, making it impossible for passers-by to realise the artist was a woman. Between the 1920s and 1930s many more female artists began to design posters for London Underground and London Transport. New social and political freedoms after the war, combined with easier access to art education, meant that becoming a designer was for the first time seen as a viable career option for women. But male designers were still paid more and achieved greater fame than their female colleagues. One woman who bucked the trend was Laura Knight. Encouraged to paint by her mother, Knight first went to study at Nottingham School of Art aged 13 and by the time she was 15 she was teaching some of her mother's art students. She was made a dame in 1929 for her services to art and in 1936 she became the first woman to be elected to the Royal Academy. During World War Two she became an official war artist. Aged 69, she was sent to cover the Nuremberg War Crimes Trials. She died in 1970. A lithograph print of her Rugby at Twickenham poster sold at Christies in 2012 for £4,750. The year 1925 also saw the work of Dora M Batty used by the Underground Group, promoting trips \"from country to the heart of town in 30 minutes\". Batty often depicted women wearing the latest fashions. This poster of a modern woman with cropped hair and a patterned outfit is one of three that promote leisure-time pursuits made easy by the Underground. Batty was one of the most prolific, and underrated, designers of her era. She produced more than 50 designs for the group and London Transport, as well as designing textiles and ceramics and illustrating books. Although her work was often reviewed in contemporary magazines, she was never given the same status as her male colleagues. As well as being an accomplished painter, Doris Zinkeisen had a successful career as a designer of costumes and sets for the theatre and the newly emerging British film industry. Her acquaintance with people such as Noel Coward and Anna Neagle lent a glamour to her work, helping her to attain important commissions including murals for the liner Queen Mary. During the 1930s, Zinkeisen produced a range of posters for the mainline railway companies, often depicting historical themes. The painting of two women at the theatre was her only work for London Transport. Although printed, it wasn't issued due to the outbreak of war in 1939. She was also a war artist and entered Belsen in 1945. Two of her paintings of the concentration camp hang in the Imperial War Museum. During World War Two, publicity for leisure was replaced by public information posters. Many women were doing war work and fewer worked as poster artists compared to the previous two decades. But by the 1950s, London Transport was once again employing female designers, such as Sheila Stratton. Her strikingly modern design, from 1954, is among the most innovative posters published by London Transport during that decade. By the 1960s, posters had moved from the bold designs of previous decades to a much more illustrative approach. Dorrit Dekk was a graphic designer, printmaker and painter who began her career in the post-war years at the government's Central Office of Information, where her public information posters conveyed such messages as \"coughs and sneezes spread diseases\" or \"bones are still needed to make glue\". This 1961 poster by Dekk illustrates a wide variety of London characters, ranging from a fishmonger to the Pearly King and Queen. Born Dorothy Karoline Epstein in Czechoslovakia to a Jewish family, Dekk studied art in Vienna before moving to London during the rise of Nazism. Dekk worked for the Women's Royal Naval Service, as a radio intelligence officer in the top secret \"Y\" service, intercepting the German military's encrypted messages to their E-boats patrolling the Channel. After the war she became known as the \"travel queen\" for her work with Air France and P&O, as well as London Transport and British Rail. During the late 1980s London Transport began a fine art poster commissioning programme to fill unsold advertising spaces on the London Underground network. These Art on the Underground posters were commissioned directly from artists. Jennie Tuffs designed seven posters for London Underground between 1987 and 1999, including this design to promote the new Princess of Wales Conservatory at Kew Gardens. It became one of London Transport Museum's best-selling posters. Anna Hymas was commissioned to create four posters promoting winter attractions to both tourists and locals - including Winter Fun (below). These formed part of a wider campaign, #LondonIsOpen, led by the mayor's office \"to show that London is united and open for business, and to the world, following the EU referendum\". Sam Mullins, director of the museum, said the poster collection \"provides an opportunity to reflect on the changing social, economic and political conditions that affected women's lives and work over the last century - which is rather fitting as we approach the centenary in 2018 of votes for women.\" You will be able to see more of the images on BBC News Online next week. The exhibition opens at London Transport Museum on 13 October, from 18:45 to 22:00, and daily after that.",

Experts said the findings added to growing evidence some medicines, including Paracetamol, should be used with caution during pregnancy. Researchers stressed advice for pregnant women remained unchanged. Current guidelines say, if necessary, Paracetamol should be used at the lowest possible dose for the shortest possible time. Ibuprofen should be avoided during pregnancy. The study looked at the effects of Paracetamol and ibuprofen on samples of human foetal testes and ovaries. Tissue samples The scientists found similar effects using several different experimental approaches, including lab tests on human tissue samples and animal studies. Human tissue exposed to either drug for one week in a dish had reduced numbers of germ cells that give rise to sperm and eggs, cells, the study found. Ovaries exposed to Paracetamol for one week had more than 40% fewer egg-producing cells. After ibuprofen exposure, the number of cells was almost halved. Experts said this was important because girls produce all of their eggs in the womb, so if they are born with a reduced number it could lead to an early menopause. Painkiller exposure during development could have effects on unborn boys too, the study found. Testicular tissue exposed to painkillers in a culture dish had around a quarter fewer sperm-producing cells after exposure to Paracetamol or ibuprofen. The team also tested the effects of painkiller treatment on mice that carried grafts of human foetal testicular tissue. The grafts have been shown to mimic how the testes grow and function during development in the womb. Female offspring After just one day of treatment with a human-equivalent dose of Paracetamol, the number of sperm-producing cells in the graft tissue had dropped by 17%. After a week of drug treatment, there were almost one third fewer cells. Previous studies with rats have shown that painkillers administered in pregnancy led to a reduction in germ cells in female offspring. This affected their fertility and the fertility of females in subsequent generations. The scientists found that exposure to Paracetamol or ibuprofen triggered mechanisms in the cell that made changes in the structure of DNA, called epigenetic marks. The marks can be inherited, helping to explain how the effects of painkillers on fertility may be passed on to future generations. Painkillers' effects on germ cells are likely caused by their actions on molecules called prostaglandins, which have key functions in the ovaries and testes, the researchers found. The study, published in Environmental Health Perspectives, was funded by the Medical Research Council, Wellcome and the British Society of Paediatric Endocrinology and Diabetes. Dr Rod Mitchell, who led the research at the University of Edinburgh's MRC Centre for Reproductive Health, said: \"We would encourage women to think carefully before taking painkillers in pregnancy and to follow existing guidelines - taking the lowest possible dose for the shortest time possible.\"",

            "input": "Workers' earnings, excluding bonuses, rose 2.2% in the three months to September compared with a year ago, the Office for National Statistics said. But they fell 0.5% in real terms when accounting for inflation, marking seven months of negative pay growth. The number of jobless - people not in work but seeking a job - fell 59,000 to 1.42 million during the period. With inflation at a five-and-a-half-year high of 3% in October, pay is failing to keep up with higher prices. The unemployment rate remained steady at 4.3% - its lowest rate since 1975 - and down from 4.8% a year earlier. Minister for Employment Damian Hinds said the unemployment figures showed the \"strength of the economy\". \"A near-record number of people are now in work,\" he said. \"Everyone should be given the opportunity to find work and enjoy the stability of a regular pay packet.\" At the same time, the number of people in work dropped to 32 million, down 14,000 from the last quarter, according to ONS data. Labour MP Debbie Abrahams, shadow work and pensions secretary, said the figures were further evidence of \"Tory economic failure\". She said: \"Both employment and real wages are falling while the price of household essentials balloons, leaving millions of people worse off than they were in 2010.\" Matt Hughes, a senior ONS statistician, said employment had declined after two years of \"almost uninterrupted growth\", but was still higher than last year. The last time there was a bigger fall in employment was in April to June 2015, when the number of people in work dropped by 45,000, according to the ONS. The simultaneous drop in the number of workers and unemployed people is due to the rise in people who are classed as \"economically inactive\" - those not working and not seeking or available to work. This includes people studying, retirees, the long-term sick, or those looking after family, and rose by 117,000 to 8.8 million over the quarter. Mr Hughes said: \"There was a rise in the number of people who were neither working nor looking for a job - so-called economically inactive people.\" Separate ONS data showed a bright spot for productivity, which increased by 0.9% in the latest three months - the strongest growth rate for six years. But this follows a prolonged period of weak productivity since the financial crisis. Productivity: A volatile measure By BBC economics editor Kamal Ahmed: Any port in a storm, but it is sensible to put today's leap in productivity in context. After six months of negative figures (-0.5% January to March, -0.1% April to June), today's +0.9% jump in productivity is undoubtedly better news. But it would need at least two more quarters of similarly positive numbers to discern whether this is just normal quarter-by-quarter volatility or the first signs that the productivity slump might be starting to turn. The ONS measures productivity by dividing the number of hours worked by what is called Gross Value Added, the value of goods and services produced by the UK economy. It has leapt this quarter because working hours have fallen slightly and economic growth is higher. Whether we are actually producing more per hour worked - the key to wealth creation and better wages - will only become clear over the next six months. ONS head of productivity Philip Wales said: \"The medium-term picture continues to be one of productivity growing - but at a much slower rate than seen before the financial crisis.\" The CBI's head of employment, Matthew Percival, thought the rise in productivity was \"encouraging\". He said: \"Businesses will be looking for the chancellor to cement progress in next week's Budget and maintain flexibility in the labour market, which remains a mainstay of the UK economy.\" Fewer employed and unemployed? By BBC business correspondent Jonty Bloom: How can unemployment and the number of people in work drop at the same time? The unemployment rate is a measure of those people who want to work - and cannot - but the employment rate is a measure of everyone in work. So you could have a large number of people retiring and only some of them being replaced by unemployed people who are recruited to do their jobs. Employment will fall, and so will unemployment. In today's figures, the fall in employment seems to be concentrated amongst the 18-24 year olds, suggesting that part of the reason is that they are returning to education, although the figures are supposed to take such seasonal factors into account.",

            "input": "Rebecca Steinfeld and Charles Keidan, from London, were told in 2014 that they could not have a civil partnership because they did not meet the legal requirement of being of the same sex. They took their case to the High Court, saying they faced discrimination. But Mrs Justice Andrews dismissed their claim for judicial review. The couple have said they intend to appeal. One of the government's arguments was that now gay couples are able to marry, civil partnerships might be abolished or phased out in the future, and changing legislation before then would be \"costly and complex\". A government spokesperson welcomed the ruling, saying the \"current regime of marriage and civil partnership does not disadvantage opposite sex couples\". Family values Ms Steinfeld, 34, and Mr Keidan, 39, said they wanted to commit to each other in a civil partnership as it \"focuses on equality\" and did not carry the patriarchal history and associations of marriage. However, the Civil Partnership Act 2004 - which applies throughout the UK - requires that partners be \"two people of the same sex\". It grants gay couples legal rights similar to those given to married couples. The introduction of same-sex marriage - which became legal in England, Wales and Scotland in 2014 - has since given gay couples a choice between that and civil partnership. Ms Steinfeld and Mr Keidan argued that, as a heterosexual couple, they did not have the same choice as gay couples and were therefore discriminated against. Current legislation was \"incompatible\" with their right to a private and family life, they said. The government argued that civil marriage was an institution that protected the core values of family life and was entirely egalitarian, and that where the objection was ideological there was no infringement of rights. Analysis By Clive Coleman, BBC legal affairs correspondent Some observers will be surprised by today's ruling. An important part of the foundation of modern human rights and equality law is the protection against discrimination on grounds including sexual orientation. The Civil Partnership Act 2004 appears to fly directly in the face of that. It requires civil partners to be \"two people of the same sex\", meaning gay couples can now choose marriage or a civil partnership, whilst heterosexual couples can only marry. However, Mrs Justice Andrews ruled that the different treatment of gay and opposite-sex couples didn't infringe the right to a private and family life enshrined in Article 8 of the European Convention of Human Rights. And even if it did, maintaining the different treatment is justified, essentially because opposite-sex couples can enter civil marriages, which are egalitarian and encompass the core principles of family life. After the ruling, Ms Steinfeld said the government was \"barring us, and many thousands of opposite-sex couples like us, from the choice of forming a civil partnership\". She told the BBC: \"We are very disappointed in the judge's ruling today, which we think undermines equality in the United Kingdom. \"And we know that that disappointment will be shared in the court of public opinion because we have 36,000 people who've signed our change to all petition supporting opening up civil partnerships to all.\" Mr Keidan said \"the fight goes on\" and there was still a chance \"for this wrong to be righted in time\". Human rights campaigner Peter Tatchell, who has championed the case for equal civil partnerships for more than a decade, said the ruling was \"a sad defeat for love and equality\". Meanwhile, Ava Lee, campaign manager of the Equal Civil Partnership campaign, said it was time the government reconsidered its position on civil partnerships 'Not disadvantaged' At a hearing earlier this month, the government said the future of civil partnerships had not been decided. It said it would wait \"to see how extending marriage to same-sex couples impacts upon civil partnerships before reaching a final decision on the future of civil partnerships\". Dan Squires, counsel for the government, said ministers had decided it was \"not necessary to undertake the costly and complex exercise of extending civil partnerships in the interim where they may be abolished or phased out in a few years\". Mrs Justice Andrews said the government was \"acting well within the ambit of discretion afforded to it with regard to the regulation of social matters\". \"Opposite-sex couples are not disadvantaged by the hiatus, because they can achieve exactly the same recognition of their relationship and the same rights, benefits and protections by getting married, as they always could,\" she said in her ruling. She concluded: \"The government's decision to wait and see serves the legitimate aim of avoiding the unnecessary disruption and the waste of time and money that plunging into a programme of legislative reform without waiting is likely to produce.\"",

            "input": "By Holly RubensteinEntertainment reporter It's been 17 years since Sandra Bullock last starred in an animated film, lending her voice to Moses' sister Miriam in Dreamwork's Prince of Egypt. But when asked about her decision to join the cast of Minions, she couldn't have responded quicker. \"My son,\" she smiles. \"I wanted to do something that he could see, that I was in.\" Bullock has an adopted son called Louis, who travelled with her to London ahead of the movie's world premiere. It sounds like a glamorous life for the much-papped five-year-old, but Bullock points out that \"he doesn't know what I do. \"I've started telling him that I go and make stories, but he doesn't quite care what that's about - nor do I want him to.\" So he doesn't realise his mum is one of Hollywood's highest-paid movie stars? \"[The phrase] 'famous movie star' doesn't really mean anything, does it? We're supposed to embarrass them! You're not supposed to have respect from your kid.\" She gushes that her son loves physical humour and animation, and because she loves to hear him laugh, joining Minions was a no-brainer. The film is a spin-off prequel to Despicable Me and Despicable Me 2. The latter alone took $970.8 million (£616m) at the worldwide box office, and it was the top grossing film of 2013 in the UK. In Minions, it transpires the yellow creatures have actually been serving despicable masters since time began, from dinosaurs to vampires - but because of their accident-prone ways, they have been completely unsuccessful at keeping their jobs. Without a master to serve, they are driven into a depression, before one of the more proactive minions, Kevin, hatches a plan to find someone new to work for. Along with fellow minions Stuart and Bob, they head to a villain convention which leads them to their next potential master - Bullock's Scarlet Overkill, the world's first-ever female super-villain. Overkill proves a contrast to the Oscar-winner's usual roles, which have given her the reputation of America's sweetheart. \"I still don't know what that means, but I'll take it,\" she laughs. \"As an actor, being a villain is a great thing. Everyone wants to be able to do that. And we're human beings - we're crabby - so to be able to be mean the entire time you're working? It's a great release.\" Although she says getting into character wasn't hard - \"Oh crabby's easy for me. That's a no-brainer\" - the actualisation of Overkill was much more of a challenge. \"It was one of the harder things I've done. Every day was different and every day was a struggle. \"I'm so used to using a prop or a person or my body to sell something and I couldn't sell the character that way. I had to only use my voice, which was tricky.\" \"Just when I thought I did something well, I would hear, 'we need you to do it again, we didn't get it' - and I'm like, 'how could you not have gotten it?!' \"Then I realised, they're in the other room with their heads hanging low, not even looking at my body - they are just listening., Listening for the sound. \"It was not an easy road to get there, but I'm so glad I did it.\" Pierre Coffin not only directs the film but also voices the entire minion population, including Kevin, Stuart and Bob. \"I'm not an actor in any way but I try to find what could differentiate and identify the three minions. In the performance it's me trying to find the proper melody for whatever the emotional state of the character is in that moment, with whatever words sound funny in the tone.\" Coffin's 'Minion-ese' - a mixture of languages including French, English, Italian and Spanish - is a huge part of the movie's charm. He and co-director Kyle Balda said they had a lot of fun directing their roll call of guest stars including Jennifer Saunders, Steve Coogan, Michael Keaton and Mad Men star John Hamm - who Bullock describes as \"delicious\". The appeal of the minions is apparently unbounded, with Universal already confirming Despicable Me 3 will be released in June 2017. \"It's their innocence,\" says Bullock on their level of popularity. \"They don't mean to harm or make something collapse or explode. It's accidental. \"They have such sweetness and good will. And we all understand them. No matter where we come from, we all understand the minions.\" Minions is out in UK cinemas on 26 June",

            "input": "Brodie Clark was suspended by the Home Secretary Theresa May last week after being accused of relaxing immigration controls beyond what she had asked for. He now plans to lodge a claim for \"constructive dismissal\", and has denied acting improperly. Earlier, Mrs May said he must \"take full responsibility for his actions\". The home secretary allowed some checks on European travellers to be relaxed, but says Mr Clark went further in scaling back checks, without her approval. Three-hour queues In a statement, Mr Clark said his position at the UK Borders Agency had been made \"untenable\" because of the statements made in the House of Commons by Mrs May. \"Those statements are wrong and were made without the benefit of hearing my response to formal allegations,\" he said. \"The home secretary suggests that I added additional measures, improperly, to the trial of our risk-based controls. I did not. Those measures have been in place since 2008/09. \"The home secretary also implies that I relaxed the controls in favour of queue management. I did not. \"Despite pressure to reduce queues, including from ministers, I can never be accused of compromising security for convenience. \"This summer saw queues of over three hours (non EU) on a regular basis at Heathrow and I never once contemplated cutting our essential controls to ease the flow.\" He said he was saddened his career should end in this way after 40 years of \"dedicated service\", and regretted Mrs May had \"disregarded my right to reply\" in favour of political convenience. Although Mr Clark has left the Civil Service, technically he has not resigned, said Jonathan Baume from the First Division Association, the trade union which represents senior civil servants He said Mr Clark had been willing to answer the issues raised internally. \"But instead he was suspended and the home secretary has spent two days basically traducing him and damning him without ever giving the civil servant the opportunity to present their case.\" Mr Clark - one of three UKBA officials suspended last week - is due to give evidence to the home affairs select committee next week. Full responsibility Earlier, Mrs May faced questions from that committee about her involvement in a pilot scheme. She told MPs she had not told the Cabinet of her decision to allow officials to relax checks on some European travellers arriving in the UK as the \"limited\" pilot was an \"operational matter\" which \"did not in any way put border security at risk\". She said the idea was that at busy times it was safer to carry out \"intelligence-led\" checks on suspicious passengers rather than mandatory checks on all passengers, including those who were \"low risk\". Labour committee member David Winnick suggested ministers should take full responsibility for a \"major blunder\" on their watch and asked if there was any question of Mrs May resigning - to which the home secretary responded: \"No.\" She added that she would take responsibility for the authorised pilot, which she suggested had led to a 10% rise in the detection of illegal immigrants, but Mr Clark must \"take full responsibility for his actions\". Mrs May has announced there will be three inquiries, the main one led by the Chief Inspector of the UK Border Agency, John Vine. Shadow home secretary Yvette Cooper said the \"fiasco\" for the home secretary was getting worse, now her version of events has been contradicted by \"her most senior official\" at the UK Border Force. \"First she decided to reduce border checks then lost control of her so-called 'pilot'. Now she has lost the loyalty of one of her most senior civil servants. The home secretary clearly doesn't know what has been happening at our borders.\" 'Completely contradictory' Labour has put forward an opposition day motion calling for the government to publish the instructions Mrs May and Immigration Minister Damian Green gave to UKBA during Wednesday's debate on the affair. The motion also asks whether they signed off operational instructions giving UKBA greater flexibility. Labour MP Keith Vaz, the chairman of the home affairs committee, said Mr Clark \"cast very serious doubt\" on the home secretary's account his committee had heard just hours earlier. \"It's completely contradictory to what she said. This is a complete turnaround of events.\" Speaking on BBC's Newsnight programme Mr Vaz said the committee would be writing to Mrs May with a number of new questions. Chief executive of the UK Borders Agency Rob Whiteman said he suspended Mr Clark after he admitted last week to authorising staff to go further than ministerial instruction, on a number of occasions. \"In my opinion it was right for officials to have recommended the pilot so that we focus attention on higher risks to our border, but it is unacceptable that one of my senior officials went further than was approved,\" he added.",

We were refused entry at three neighbouring restaurants, and one hotel. The businesses featured have a blanket ban on all dogs, including assistance dogs. We were barred despite me clearly pointing out that Chipp was a guide dog. It seemed to make no difference, even when staff checked with their bosses. Fortunately, these kinds of scenes are rare in the UK and we were allowed in at a neighbouring supermarket, a newsagent and two cafes. But they do happen, and in some areas they happen again and again and again. I'm a political reporter, not a disability rights campaigner, but I work with a guide dog, and that can cause me problems. If you knew me, you'd know that the only 'chip' I sport is on the end of my arm - and his name is Chipp, my guide dog. Larry the Downing Street Cat is happy to have Chipp on his manor. 'Blind injustice' Like violence at a student protest, Chipp is a regular sight around these ways, although he's actually welcomed and revered throughout the corridors of power. But you don't have to go far from Westminster to find doors slammed in your face for no other reason than you happen to work with a guide dog. Now I'm not one to play the blind card, and not just because I can't see where I put it down. But it's a blind injustice that the discrimination against the 4,600 guide dog owners in the UK is somehow more acceptable than other types of discrimination. In France, the law is very clear. Guide or assistance dog owners who are refused access to any place open to the general public can dig out their phone - dial 17. And before you can say Inspector Clouseau, a smartly dressed French copper will come out and fine them 305 euros. But here in the UK, the law is as clear as a politician's answer. The Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) says business owners must make \"reasonable adjustments\" to make their premises' accessible to disabled people, such as waiving a no dogs policy for assistance dogs. Nowhere does the law specifically say that guide dogs must be admitted, and the DDA can only be enforced in the civil court. One word describes that, pathetic! These are real problems affecting real people, so come on Westminster.

            "input": "By Ed LowtherPolitical reporter, BBC News 1. Economic stimulus Lavish spending often accompanies a wedding, and so a large increase in the number of marriages taking place each year would create a significant boost to certain parts of the economy. Beneficiaries might include ceremony venues, cake manufacturers, function band agencies, and hoteliers. The government estimates the total economic stimulus could be as much as £14.4m - but thinks it is more likely to be closer to £0. \"As the demand for same-sex marriage is uncertain, and because these economic benefits are not guaranteed to be additional (for example, the spending on a civil partnership or marriage ceremony may not be additional if the couple and guests cut back on spending in other areas), we use zero benefit as our best estimate,\" it explains. 2. Transgender spouses and the law Also facing increased demand for its services is the Gender Recognition Panel, which furnishes transgender people with certificates documenting their gender transitions. At present, it is impossible for a member of a married couple to change gender and remain legally married. So the government is anticipating a \"noticeable increase\" in the panel's workload as \"those who may have changed gender some years ago but decided not to apply for legal recognition, since they wished to remain in their existing marriage\", adapt to the change in the law. 3. Health benefits During its consultation on same-sex marriages, the government received evidence from the Royal College of Psychiatrists, which said lesbian, gay, and bisexual people (LGB) people experience more mental health problems and a greater likelihood of drug addiction than heterosexuals. Ministers believe that discrimination against LGB people partially accounts for this phenomenon. The removal of discrimination against same-sex couples in the current legal definition of marriage, the government argues, might therefore improve public health. 4. IT upgrades A number of Whitehall departments will need to tweak their computer systems to enable them to administer services properly to same-sex married couples. The biggest impact will be felt at the Home Office, which oversees the registration of marriages, civil partnerships, births and deaths. The government estimates that necessary changes to its online registration system will cost £2m. Lower costs will fall on the Department for Work and Pensions, which will need to adapt its systems to cope with changes to pension entitlements, and the Ministry of Justice, which will need to alter the courts' \"FamilyMan\" IT system. 5. Tourism boost If the government's plans become law, the UK will join a select group of 12 countries where same-sex marriage is legal. The Lesbian and Gay Lawyers Association told the government in its consultation to prepare for a \"modest boost\" in tourism as a consequence. \"We are aware that same-sex couples from the UK travel to places like Canada to get married because they prefer this to a civil partnership. We expect that if marriage is open to same-sex couples in England and Wales, couples especially from elsewhere in Europe will come here to get married here,\" it said. 6. Re-training registrars Those who will be conducting same-sex marriages will need to get to grips with the new system. The government assumes that they will need between two and seven hours' training each - \"time which could have been spent on other tasks\", it notes. 7. Who to tell and how \"Currently, if a person discloses that they are in a civil partnership rather than a marriage, they automatically disclose their sexual orientation,\" the government says. People in same-sex marriages will have greater discretion over how, when, or whether to divulge this information. Recent research suggests that one in five LGB people think they have been harassed at work because of their sexual orientation, the government says. 8. Societal benefits Same-sex marriages might encourage greater acceptance of same-sex couples in society, the government believes. This would be good for society as a whole, ministers have concluded, by helping to create \"a more inclusive society where there is more choice and acceptance\".",

I finished the paper, dumped my school bag in a shop and left for Pakistan-administered Kashmir. It was 1:30pm and I was still wearing my school uniform, I took nothing with me,\" he says. Mr Khan lived in Kulangam town in Kupwara district - not far from the Line of Control which divides the disputed region of Kashmir between India and Pakistan. He left with a group of eight boys, \"all students like me, some from Sopore, some from Srinagar\". \"There was a sort of wave then, so I also went,\" he explains. By next evening, the group had reached the Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) camp in Muzaffarabad in Pakistan-administered Kashmir. \"There I received a month of training in how to use a Kalashnikov assault rifle.\" After more than 22 years, Abdul Rashid Khan is now back in Kulangam. Trickle - not flood He was among thousands of Kashmiri youths who, from 1988, crossed over to the Pakistani side to join militant training camps there and fight for freedom from India. According to Kashmir government estimates, some 3,500 to 4,000 \"boys\" went to Pakistan over nearly two decades. But in the last 12 months, at least 150 of them have come back, Indian officials say, and hundreds others are waiting to return. The trickle which started last year is not yet a flood, but it's steadily gaining momentum. Indian officials say they have received 1,054 applications from those wanting to return - by early August they had cleared 291 of them and say 300 more are to be cleared soon. And many of the returnees, including Abdul Rashid Khan, have come back with their families. Returnees say their reasons for doing so are many - diminishing support from the Pakistani establishment for the Kashmir cause, the growing Talibanisation of Pakistan, a realisation that the Kashmir jihad is \"futile\", homesickness and the Indian government's offer of amnesty to those willing to return. In November 2010, the Indian government announced \"a policy to allow for return of ex-militants to Jammu and Kashmir state\". Under the scheme, applicants could fill in a form and, if approved, return via the Wagah border in Punjab, through the Chakan-da-Bagh crossing on the Line of Control or fly into Delhi airport. The scheme was a god-send for Kashmiris looking for a way back home. Ejaz Ahmad, 52, who went to Pakistan in August 1990, returned home from Muzaffarabad last month with his wife and five children. \"About a year and a half ago, I saw a Kashmir assembly debate on the TV news, where I heard them say that those wanting to come back would be allowed to return. \"The government said the returnees would be treated with respect, they would be rehabilitated here properly. Both the government and the opposition parties seemed to endorse that view so I decided to come back,\" he says. But his return journey was far from smooth. 'Debrief-centre' \"To implement this policy which would allow the ex-militants to return, India needed Pakistan's co-operation, but Pakistan wouldn't agree because they have always said that these people had gone to Pakistan as they were victims of persecution in India,\" a senior Jammu and Kashmir government official told the BBC. But Kashmiris impatient to return home have found a way around this - they are returning via Nepal. And that's the route Abdul Rashid Khan took in May, along with his schoolteacher wife Zeba and their three children. \"When I heard that the situation in Kashmir was improving, I told her, let's go home.\" The Khans were part of a large group of 40 returnees. \"We travelled on Pakistani passports to Nepal. The first day we checked into a hotel in Kathmandu as Pakistani citizens. The next day, we destroyed our passports and drove up to the Indian border near Gorakhpur in Uttar Pradesh state,\" he says. They were detained by the Indian army, but after cross-checking with police in Kashmir, the group was allowed to travel first to Jammu and then to Srinagar. In Srinagar, they were taken to a \"debrief centre\" where they were interrogated for two days by the police, intelligence agencies and security forces before being handed over to their families in Kashmir. Everyone in Indian-administered Kashmir I spoke to agreed that the former fighters could not return in such large numbers without tacit support from Pakistan. \"Pakistan must be aware of what's going on,\" a senior intelligence official in Srinagar said. \"I think it's just choosing to look the other way while these people leave. It's okay as long as they cross the border illegally, keep it low-profile, because some people, some agencies may not like it,\" he said. Abdul Rashid Khan says: \"Pakistan is definitely involved. If the two countries didn't have an agreement, there's no way I would be allowed to get away.\" 'Sacrificial goats' The return of the ex-militants is a win-win situation for India. First, as more and more of them come back, it means the number of potential armed fighters is shrinking and India has fewer of them to worry about. Secondly, Delhi can tell the world the situation in Kashmir is normal - so normal that even the former fighters are coming back. And thirdly, it also gives India an opportunity to discredit the separatist leaders - many of the returnees accuse senior separatists of prospering from the years of militancy while ordinary Kashmiris have been used as \"sacrificial goats\" in the fight for freedom which remains elusive. But, the return of the former fighters is also posing a set of challenges for the Indian authorities. \"The ex-fighter is a local Kashmiri and he has parents or family here, he went to school and college here, he has documents to prove his identity,\" a senior bureaucrat says. \"But the problem is regarding their Pakistani spouses or children who are foreign citizens who have entered India illegally. Also, because they have destroyed their Pakistani passports, they have no documents to prove their identity. \"What do we do with them now? We have taken it up with the government, we have to find a way of legalising them,\" he says. The returnees and their families, meanwhile, are beginning to grow impatient. When I visited Abdul Rashid Khan at his home in Kulangam recently, he was supervising a new home he's building for his wife and children. Zeba, his wife, says moving to Kashmir has been \"the biggest mistake of my life\". The move to a \"remote village\" on the India-Pakistan border has left her frustrated. \"I feel Kashmir is stuck in the 1950s,\" she says. \"India and Pakistan have moved ahead, but this region is very backward. We have long hours of daily power cuts, there's a water shortage and no gas. There are no roads here, no hospitals in the village. At 7pm, all the markets shut and transport stops.\" It's not just Kashmir's lack of development that Zeba finds difficult to adjust to - what rankles most is the loss of her identity. \"We came to Kashmir because my husband said 'my parents and my family are all there, my land and property is there, our children's future is not in Pakistan, they have an identity only in Kashmir'. \"I came here searching for their identity, but now I've lost my own. I say I am from Pakistan, but I have no papers to prove it,\" she says. Her children - seven-year-old twin daughters and an eight-year-old son - have been admitted into a local school, but those returning with older children say they are being asked for school-leaving certificates. 'Design flaw' Many returnees are also finding it hard to find jobs and have little money as a result. Ejaz Ahmad exhausted almost all his savings on his return journey - he had to pay close to 300,000 Pakistani rupees ($3,184; £2,039) to arrange travel documents and tickets for his family. And because they had entered India illegally, they had to seek bail from a court which cost him 210,000 Indian rupees ($3,801; £2,430). Now, he wants the government to keep its promise of rehabilitating the returnees which, for him, means travel documents for his family and school admission for his children. Mr Ahmad says he is in touch with about 20 returnees and they are planning to take up the issue with the state administration. The authorities admit that there is a \"design flaw\" in the amnesty scheme and that there is no agreement yet on how to deal with the returnees' spouses. \"The issue of the wives is a tricky one - she's a foreign national. And she's stateless at the moment, but we want to assure them that we are thinking about them,\" a government official said. \"We are also hoping to put systems in place to ensure they have livelihoods and that they are integrated into the system here.\" But the returnees want action now. \"If I don't get documents soon. I'll try to run away. I don't know where I will go, but I've had enough,\" says Zeba Khan. Abdul Rashid Khan says he gave up militancy because he does not believe in fighting any more. But, he says, unless the government does something to address their problems soon, he may be forced to do something illegal. \"It may be a repeat of the 1990s,\" he warns. Is India listening? Or will it let him down a second time?",

Committee chair and Tory MP Tom Tugendhat said the UK should \"lead by example\" on the issue. The government said tackling human trafficking is a \"major priority\". The bodies of eight women and 31 men were found in a lorry trailer on an industrial estate in Grays on 23 October. Mr Tugendhat, the MP for Tonbridge and Malling, said the incident had \"shocked us all\". He said: \"The full story won't be clear for some time but this tragedy is not alone. \"Today, hundreds of families across the world are losing loved ones who felt driven to take the fatal gamble to entrust their lives to smugglers. \"This case should serve as a wake-up call to the Foreign Office and to government.\" Meanwhile, police investigating the lorry deaths in Nghe An province said eight people have been arrested in connection with people smuggling. 'Return to EU meetings' The committee's report says the human cost of so-called \"irregular\" migration - which takes place outside laws, regulations, and agreements - made international partnerships, including with the EU, \"essential\". It found UK representatives \"have already ceased to attend EU-level meetings where irregular migration is discussed\". The committee called on the government to \"urgently resume\" its attendance at the meetings during the delay to Brexit and to seek to attend them afterwards \"wherever it is possible\". During the 2015 refugee crisis, the UK received asylum applications from just 2% of the 1.4m people on the move. The UK used two EU deals to keep numbers down: it opted out of an agreement to redistribute refugees and used another rule to send people to other states. It has a seat in the EU's European Migrant Smuggling Centre, dedicated to gathering intelligence and catching the gangs - and has taken part in naval operations. But after Brexit, nobody knows if the UK will be allowed to take part in any joint initiatives. When Helen Wheeler, a foreign office minister, was quizzed by MPs alongside her chief official on Mediterranean migration, she couldn't say if the UK had been at the EU's last key meeting on tackling illegal migration - it hadn't - or whether it would attend the next. The report finds government agreements to limit irregular migration from certain countries, including Libya, Niger and Sudan, risk \"fuelling human rights abuses, and endorsing authoritarian regimes\". The committee adds it is concerned by evidence of \"dire conditions\" for migrants in northern France, where many of those intending to reach the UK gather. It says the government's focus on security at ports there \"has pushed migrants to take more dangerous routes\" to the UK. One witness tells the committee that enhanced security had led to an increase in people trying to get to Britain on small boats across the English Channel. The committee also says the government should consider \"wider, interlinked factors\" driving irregular migration \"including climate change, conflict, repressive governance and corruption - rather than focusing narrowly on reducing the numbers reaching Europe's borders in the short term\". Other recommendations include the expansion of legal pathways to apply for asylum outside Europe. A government spokesperson said: \"Tackling the scourge of human trafficking at every stage of the migrant journey - overseas, at our borders and in the UK - is a major priority. \"The UK does this by addressing irregular migration, from reducing factors driving migration - conflict, instability and poverty - to strengthening border security and counter-trafficking operations. \"The UK government and law enforcement agencies work extensively with international partners, key transit countries, and the nations of origin to stand up to this global criminal industry that perpetuates human suffering.\"",

            "input": "Simon JackBusiness editor@BBCSimonJackon Twitter It's a decision that, if taken (and it almost certainly will be), will mark a significant U-turn in the government's approach to procuring new nuclear power. In 2010, the government was adamant that the UK public should never have to run the risk of lengthy and costly overruns that have become a hallmark of nuclear plant construction. In the case of Hinkley Point C in Somerset, the government made much of the fact that come what may, the UK taxpayer would be insulated from the skyrocketing costs that the contractor, EDF, had incurred on a similar plant in France. But there was a price to pay for that taxpayer protection: very expensive electricity. In return for shouldering all the risk, EDF demanded a price for the electricity that Hinkley will (one day) produce that is double the current going rate. The National Audit Office and the Public Accounts Committee were critical of that deal and there was considerable pressure to significantly reduce the cost of power from the Wylfa plant. It's expected it will come in around £77 per megawatt hour, compared to £92.50/MWh for Hinkley. Cheaper borrowing Energy Secretary Greg Clark told the BBC: \"We listened to the NAO and PAC and thought it appropriate to explore a different way to deliver a project of this size.\" Environmental groups condemned the deal. The Greens' Caroline Lucas said: \"Taking a stake in this nuclear monstrosity would see taxpayers locked into the project and paying out for a form of electricity generation that's not fit for the future.\" However, Dieter Helm, professor of Energy Policy at the University of Oxford, told the BBC that the government shift made sense. \"The sheer cost of building new nuclear power stations means it makes sense for the government to help finance projects like this,\" he said. \"Governments can borrow much more cheaply that private companies and that lower cost of borrowing can drastically reduce the ultimate cost. Hinkley Point C would have been roughly half the cost if the government had been borrowing the money to build it at 2%, rather than EDF's cost of capital, which was 9%.\" There is another reason why the government feels more comfortable taking a construction risk this time around. The Hinkley Point Project is based on a brand new reactor design which is yet to go into service anywhere in the world. By contrast, the Hitachi design is relatively tried and tested. Whatever the merits of the new approach, or the old design, the government can be sure to face tough questions as to why new nuclear construction is worth spending billions on when there are so many other calls on the Treasury coffers.",

Fianna Fáil leader Micheál Martin has said a new government should not be formed before reforms of the Dail (parliament) take place. \"We believe that the new Dáil should not represent more business as usual - that it should involve a decisive move towards a reformed politics,\" he said. The current taoiseach, Enda Kenny, admitted over the weekend that the Fine Gael/Labour coalition government he led for the past five years had failed to secure a return to office. 'State of flux' He will continue to lead the Republic of Ireland in a caretaker capacity until a new coalition is agreed. It is now likely that Mr Kenny will be one of three party leaders who could be proposed as a potential Taoiseach when the parliament (Dàil) reconvenes on 10 March. The other candidates are Fianna Fáil leader Micheál Martin and Sinn Féin president Gerry Adams. Sinn Féin is currently in third place with 23 seats while independents and smaller parties have also done well with 34 seats between them so far. However, the junior coalition partner, Labour, has suffered badly with only six seats so far, after winning 37 in 2011. Mr Kenny - who has been re-elected in Mayo - said it was clear the existing government would not regain power. He refused to discuss possible options for the next government. However, he added: \"As taoiseach I have a duty and responsibility to see how best we might be able to put together a government.\" On Saturday, Fianna Fáil leader Micheál Martin said he was \"very pleased\" but that it would take time before the shape of the new government becomes clear. Sinn Féin president Gerry Adams said the election represented a \"fundamental realignment of Irish politics\". Labour Party deputy leader Alan Kelly, who narrowly retained his seat in Tipperary, said Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael should \"cop themselves on now\" and form a government. \"All of this pretending that there are massive issues between them is rubbish.

To this day, only one soldier involved has been brought to trial for his role. Today marks the 10th anniversary of the publication of the Saville Report. In a statement, a spokesperson for the PPS said decisions \"remain ongoing\" and they are proceeding \"as expeditiously as possible\". The spokesperson said \"interested parties, including the victims and families, will be notified when decisions have been finalised\" as per their \"commitment to inform those directly involved first\". They added that they \"are aware of the desire of all those affected to know the outcomes\" but said that their work \"is complex\". Speaking to BBC Radio Foyle, Lord Saville reiterated that the \"public inquiry I conducted cannot make findings of criminal conduct because we are not a judge, jury in a criminal trial\". Lord Saville said \"he would be interested to see what happens\" and said there \"were arguments for and against maintaining prosecutions over such a long period of time\". \"As time goes by it shouldn't mean that justice can no longer be done,\" he told the programme. But he added that he did appreciate that \"as time goes by it does get more difficult\". Lord Saville said his offer to meet the families of Bloody Sunday still stands, but \"not to discuss the findings of the report\". Ten years ago, relatives of those killed stood on the steps of the Guildhall with thousands packed into the square to hear Mr Cameron's apology. Speaking to MPs in the House of Commons, Mr Cameron said: \"What happened should never, ever have happened. The families of those who died should not have had to live with the pain and the hurt of that day and with a lifetime of loss. \"Some members of our armed forces acted wrongly. The government is ultimately responsible for the conduct of the armed forces and for that, on behalf of the government, indeed, on behalf of our country, I am deeply sorry.\" 'An incredible moment' John Kelly, whose brother Michael was killed on Bloody Sunday, recalled his memories of that day. Speaking to BBC Radio Foyle, Mr Kelly described the \"surreal moment\" the families walked out to the thousands gathered in Guildhall to cheers and applause. \"I definitely didn't expect Mr Cameron's apology, we were quite frankly expecting the opposite, but it really was a fantastic moment and I believe the people of Derry appreciated it and the families did at the time,\" Mr Kelly said. He added that having no one prosecuted for his brother's death was \"a real kick in the teeth\" but said they \"have not given up\" in fighting for convictions. The prime minister's apology prompted leaders of the Protestant church denominations to go to the Bogside area of the city the following day and meet with victims' relatives.

Speaking to BBC Radio Foyle, Ken Good said that the Saville Report helped \"facilitate a time of healing and a strengthening of relationships between communities\".

A farmer expressed fears that no cattle graziers \"can see how it would work\" on the city's commons without the service. Support will now continue after the proposal was removed from the budget at a council meeting on Thursday. Cows are a regular sight for locals and visitors in the university city, and a \"pinder\" service is used for when there is a problem with the cattle - such as when they fall into a river. The Labour-led council had proposed ending the out-of-hours pinder service - transferring that responsibility to graziers - at a saving of £8,000 a year, according to the Local Democracy Reporting Service. Angelika von Heimendahl, who has been grazing her animals on Midsummer Common for 15 years, said that without the service she doubted graziers would \"take that kind of responsibility and that kind of risk\" to let their cows roam. She said graziers were against the change and had not been consulted. Following an amendment from the Liberal Democrat opposition group, the proposed saving was removed from the budget before it was agreed on Tuesday. The leader of the Liberal Democrat group, Tim Bick, welcomed the reversal, and noted it followed public pressure. The council's executive councillor for planning policy and open spaces, Katie Thornburrow, said: \"Having cows on the commons is a must and was always our intention. \"How we manage them is open to discussion, and the safety of cows and our residents has to be a priority consideration.\" She said they consulted all graziers around the pinder service in February 2020 and it was agreed they would look at the out-of-hours service and how to contact the right person or organisation if something arises. \"It was with that agreement of the graziers that we proceeded with this idea,\" she said. \"Our team has been in contact with most graziers again recently, and learned more about their thoughts, and we have also talked to some of the residents. \"Going forward, we will be trialling different ways to communicate, start a dog control campaign, adapt and work with graziers so that we know that any changes work well for all concerned.\" Find BBC News: East of England on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.

Fierce fighting is continuing and the Syrian army says it has surrounded a major town in the rebel-held enclave. More than 1,000 civilians have been reported killed in recent weeks. The Syrian military has been accused of targeting civilians, but it says it is trying to liberate the region - the last major opposition stronghold near the capital Damscus - from those it terms terrorists. What did Mr Mattis say? Mr Mattis said Mr Trump had \"full political manoeuvre room\" to respond to chlorine use. Rescue workers and activists in Eastern Ghouta say the Syrian government has used chlorine during its assault, but the government denies this. Mr Mattis did not say he had conclusive evidence gas had been used, but added: \"It would be very unwise for them to use weaponised gas. And I think President Trump made that very clear early in his administration. He was referring to the US cruise missile strike on a Syrian government air base after more than 80 people were killed in a sarin gas attack in the town of Khan Sheikhoun. Last October a UN report said the Syrian government had been behind the attack. Mr Mattis also criticised Russia, a key ally of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, which had agreed to oversee the destruction of Syrian chemical weapon stockpiles under a 2013 deal. \"Either Russia is incompetent or in cahoots with Assad. There's an awful lot of reports about chlorine gas use or about symptoms that could be resulting from chlorine gas,\" he said. What's happening on the ground? The Syrian army says it has completely surrounded the town of Douma and cut the remaining rebel-held area into two, according to a statement made by the Lebanese Hezbollah militia, which is fighting on the side of the Syrian government. But a spokesman for one of the main rebel groups earlier told Reuters that neither Douma nor the western town of Harasta had been cut off. That followed reports that the Syrian army had captured the central town of Misraba, which is on a road linking Douma and Harasta. The BBC's Arab Affairs editor Sebastian Usher says the army's strategy is to divide the enclave into isolated sections and so cut off rebel support and supply networks. Some of the fiercest fighting has been on the eastern edge of the area still under rebel control - the stronghold of one of the two main rebel groups, Faylaq al-Rahman, which is part of the Free Syrian Army. Some reports say local leaders have been negotiating an evacuation deal for one of the towns, but Faylaq al-Rahman has denied this, vowing to fight on. What is the situation for civilians? Civilians have been sheltering in basements amid continuing government strikes. The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) told the BBC that some residents were going weeks without seeing sunlight because they were too frightened to go out. \"They go out only whenever they want to bring some food for their children,\" said ICRC spokeswoman Ingy Sedky. \"And this is when they basically lose their life because it's becoming very, very dangerous to stay outside basements.\" On Friday a UN convoy was able to successfully deliver aid to Eastern Ghouta, after previous deliveries were halted by shelling. Some 400,000 people are still thought to live in the area, seven years into Syria's civil war. It has been besieged by government forces since 2013. Who are the rebels? The rebels in Eastern Ghouta are not one cohesive group. They encompass multiple factions, including jihadists, and in-fighting between them has led to past losses of ground to the Syrian government. The two largest groups are Jaish al-Islam and its rival Faylaq al-Rahman. The latter has in the past fought alongside HTS. Eastern Ghouta is so close to Damascus that it is possible for rebels to fire mortars into the heart of the capital, which has led to scores of civilian deaths. The Syrian government is desperate to regain the territory, and has said its attempts to recapture it can be attributed directly due to the HTS presence there. HTS was excluded from a ceasefire agreed at the UN that has yet to come into effect. The group is an alliance of factions led by the Nusra Front, which sprang from al-Qaeda.",

He is also one of the most translated Chinese novelists into English, certainly among living authors. What genre do his books fall into? He writes a mixture of realism and magical realism. Earlier works were more historical, but as his career has developed, the stories have become more elaborate, more complicated and more unusual. What does he write about? He writes about rural communities in China that seem to be very familiar, very ordinary - the sort of region where he grew up - but then all kinds of magical and unusual things start to happen. Who reads his books? He is a wonderful storyteller, and is someone who could appeal to anyone. The novels - especially the early ones - are quite easy to read. They are good, gripping stories. When he spoke at SOAS during the London Book Fair what I noticed was that a lot of the audience were not Chinese experts, they had just read his novels in translation and really liked them. They just wanted to see him and meet him, he has a strong international following. What is his best-known book? The earliest novel by him that was translated into English was Red Sorghum, which was also turned into a very famous movie by Zhang Yimou. It's actually a very complicated tale. It's a historical novel written from the perspective of a child growing up during up the second world war. I was in China when that film came out and I remember audiences going absolutely crazy for it. Is he political? Mo Yan was asked whether he was political when he was here at the London Book Fair. His response was: 'Of course I care about politics, and I write about things that I see that I think are wrong - but I also think that the writer should not just be a political activist, a writer should be a writer, first and foremost'. He has had his spats with the authorities, but nothing serious. Is he a good pick to win the Nobel Prize for literature? It's a good choice. He has been writing for decades.

Mrs Turnbull, who is the senior conservator at English Heritage, said it was \"heavily discoloured with a dirty varnish layer\" on arrival at the studio.

It was taken to Wrest Park by Jemima Crew when she married Henry Grey, Duke of Kent. Mr Moore said English Heritage had been given a \"once in a lifetime opportunity\" to return it to its former home. While the cleaning work is over, there is still a bit more work to be done. An X-ray has revealed a cherub had been painted over and Mrs Turnbull hopes a further investigation might reveal if this was done by the artist or at a later date.

            "input": "Mr Green said he met Brodie Clark nine times during an approved pilot scheme, but was never told that border staff were routinely going beyond its remit. Dame Helen Ghosh said he also never mentioned it in his written reports. Mr Clark has insisted he did not ignore government policy. Mr Green and Dame Helen both appeared before the home affairs committee which is investigating claims that checks on arrivals to the UK were eased further than was agreed by Home Secretary Theresa May during the pilot. Mrs May has said she authorised the relaxation of some checks on children from the European Economic Area (EEA), and some extra checks on EEA adults under \"limited circumstances\", at peak times. But she claims Mr Clark allowed officials to go further, relaxing fingerprint checks on non-EEA nationals without ministerial approval. Mr Clark was suspended following the allegations and later resigned, saying his position had been made untenable by Mrs May's statements. 'Wrong in principle' Last week, Mr Clark told the committee he believed the decision by staff at Heathrow to relax fingerprint checks at particularly busy times was a sensible one and he did not stop it. He admitted he did not inform ministers about it, despite knowing the home secretary had rejected the possibility of relaxing those same checks as part of the pilot scheme. He said he believed ministers would have been told about \"practices and activities\" at the border during \"critical\" times, arguing that guidelines written in 2007 did allow for some relaxation on health and safety grounds when airports became dangerously crowded. However, the guidelines do not mention fingerprint checks and do not allow the dropping of any checks on non-EEA nationals. Mr Green told the committee it was \"absolutely wrong in principle\" to say that the guidelines could be \"stretched\" to justify what happened. \"Even if you were using the 2007 guidance as a routine tool of management - which you shouldn't be, it's meant for emergencies - that wouldn't permit you under any circumstances to stop taking the fingerprints of people requiring visas to enter this country.\" He added: \"It seems to me one of the central confusions of this debate that somehow the 2007 guidelines can cover what was not happening, because they just can't.\" Mr Green said he had made regular visits to UK ports and airports, but at no point had been told that the practice was going on. \"Clearly what seems to have happened was that very, very relevant information was withheld from ministers. \"During the period of the pilot I met Brodie Clark nine times so he had ample opportunity to tell me: 'By the way we're not taking secure ID [fingerprints] as well' and he didn't do so.\" The minister said he could \"only assume... that the people actually on the front line didn't know that what they were doing, or weren't doing, was somehow without ministerial responsibility\". Pay-off The committee also heard last week from Rob Whiteman, the chief executive of the UK Border Agency - of which the border force is a part, whose decision it was to suspend Mr Clark. Mr Whiteman said the possibility of Mr Clark retiring rather than facing an internal investigation had been raised. But he said Home Office permanent secretary Dame Helen Ghosh had intervened and ruled that retirement with a pay-off would not be appropriate given there was a potential disciplinary matter involved. Dame Helen was asked about the retirement discussion by MPs, telling them that she had objected to the idea of Mr Clark being given \"enhanced retirement\" package. This was because she thought it \"was wrong\" given that he had been suspended on the basis of claims that could amount to gross misconduct. She said had no power to stop Mr Clark retiring with standard provisions, she said, adding that there had been no pressure from Home Secretary Theresa May. Dame Helen also said it was \"disingenuous\" for Mr Clark to say his actions were covered by the 2007 guidelines - and insisted he had never informed ministers about the abandonment of some fingerprint checks. \"In this instance, despite the fact that ministers had requested weekly reports, none of them mentioned this issue about secure ID for non-EEA visa nationals,\" she said. Mr Green gave figures to the committee that suggested the pilot scheme was a success - despite it having been suspended following the recent allegations. He said that in August and September 2010, before it was introduced, there were 737 and 661 \"clandestines\" apprehended at the borders, while in the same months in 2011, under the pilot, the figures were 809 and 721. In terms of the number of forged documents identified, Mr Green said 128 and 121 were found in August and September 2010, compared with 135 and 179 in the same months a year later.",

It added that retailers were also delaying signing new leases due to \"political and retail\" uncertainty. Intu said its like-for-like rental income for the year would fall by between 4-6%. In February, the company had said it expected rental income to drop by 1-2%. Occupancy of Intu's shopping centres fell 1.1% to 95.6% for the first three months of 2019, compared to the previous quarter, due to a rise in retailers going into administration or agreeing rescue deals, known as company voluntary agreements (CVA) with creditors. CVAs allow retailers to renegotiate rents at stores that remain open. Intu said it had been affected by the closure of some New Look Men and HMV stores. However, the company said that it was seeing new types of tenants paying higher long-term rents, such as Metro Bank opening up in Manchester Arndale, and the introduction of a \"Market Halls\" food court at Lakeside featuring food and drink from smaller independent businesses. \"Despite the current operating environment, I believe we have a very good business and am confident we can meet the challenges we are facing head on,\" said newly-appointed Intu chief executive Matthew Roberts.

Last year, the House of Fraser department store chain fell into administration, before being bought by Mike Ashley's Sports Direct. In December, music chain HMV fell into administration for the second time in six years, blaming a \"tsunami\" of retail challenges, including business rate levels and the move to digital. Last month, department store chain Debenhams announced a CVA and named 22 stores it planned to close next year as part of its plans to close 50 outlets. A report in November by accountancy firm PwC found that about 14 shops were closing every day, with High Streets face their toughest trading climate in five years. A net 1,123 stores disappeared from Britain's top 500 High Streets in the first six months of 2018, PwC said.

            "input": "Iran has denied involvement, but Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt said Iran was \"almost certainly\" responsible. UK ambassador to Iran Rob Macaire said he asked for an \"urgent meeting\" with the Iranian Foreign Ministry on Friday. Meanwhile, as tension grows in the region, a British-Iranian jailed in Tehran has begun a new hunger strike. Mother-of-one Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe was jailed for five years in 2016 after being convicted of spying - which she denies. Her husband, Richard Ratcliffe, is joining her in refusing food and has set up a tent outside the Iranian embassy, where he plans to stay while his wife is on hunger strike, to protest against her \"unfair imprisonment\" and demand her unconditional release. Mr Macaire denied reports the meeting with a senior Iranian foreign ministry official was a formal diplomatic summons. But BBC diplomatic correspondent Caroline Hawley said Iran is \"clearly angry\" at the British accusations and \"made its displeasure known\" through the meeting. Speaking on the BBC's Andrew Marr Show, Mr Hunt reiterated that the UK's own intelligence assessment had concluded the Iranian regime was \"almost certainly\" behind the attacks on 13 June. \"We have got videos of what happened, we have seen evidence. We don't believe anyone else could have done this,\" he said. Mr Hunt said there was a \"great risk\" of war over the incident and the UK was urging all sides to de-escalate the situation. \"Having spoken to President Trump, I am absolutely clear that for America they want this to end in negotiations that see Iran stop its destabilising activities,\" he said. \"That is the long term solution here.\" Defence minister Tobias Ellwood told Sky's Sophy Ridge on Sunday that the UK would be working to de-escalate tensions but would be \"determined to protect our assets and our interests in the region\". Thursday's attacks on Norwegian and Japanese vessels in the key shipping route were the second time in the past few weeks that tankers appear to have been targeted in the region, as relations continue to sour between Iran and the United States. The US military released video footage which it said proved Iran was behind the incident. Washington said the footage shows Iranian forces removing an unexploded mine off the hull of one of the ships - hours after the initial detonations. However, Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has questioned whether the UK has \"credible evidence\" proving Iran's responsibility. Although Iran has denied being behind the explosions, experts believe it could be a response to US sanctions intended to stop other nations from purchasing Iranian oil. After the sanctions were tightened last month, Iran announced that \"if it could not export its oil, no other country would be allowed to export theirs\", Dr Aniseh Bassiri Tabrizi, from the Royal United Services Institute, said. Saudi Arabia has also blamed its rival Iran for the attacks. UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres said the truth needed to be \"clearly established\", while Russia has warned against drawing \"hasty conclusions\". The blasts came a month after four oil tankers were damaged in an attack off the coast of the United Arab Emirates. The US blamed Iran for that attack, but did not produce evidence. Iran also denied those accusations. Tensions between the US and Iran have escalated significantly since President Trump took office in 2017. He abandoned a nuclear deal that was brokered by Barack Obama's administration and significantly tightened sanctions on Iran. Meanwhile Mr Hunt has urged Iran to release jailed British-Iranian Mrs Zaghari-Ratcliffe, saying \"whatever the disagreements you may have with the United Kingdom, there is an innocent woman at the heart of this\". Mr Ratcliffe said, while he didn't expect his wife to be released immediately, the message of her hunger strike was \"enough is enough\". He told Andrew Marr he was watching developments related to the tanker attacks closely. \"We are always worried and there is never a good time for our story,\" he said. He added that while there were \"mixed signals\" coming from Iran, he hoped the situation would not escalate.",

The Polish government has been accused of trying to appoint loyal judges. But Warsaw argues the reforms, which lower the retirement age from 70 to 65, make the court more efficient. Poland has clashed with EU bodies in recent months over a number of issues. \"We are members of the European Union and we will abide by European Union law,\" said the head of the ruling Law and Justice party (PiS), Jaroslaw Kaczynski, adding that Poland \"had the right to appeal\". What did the ECJ ruling say? The Luxembourg-based court ordered Poland to immediately reinstate the Supreme Court judges who have been forced to retire since the new law came into force in July. The ECJ said its decision was an interim measure in response to a European Commission request, and a final ruling would be issued at a later date. Poland has yet to make a submission in the case. About a third of the judges have stepped down, but Chief Justice Malgorzata Gersdorf - who is also affected by the changes - is refusing to quit, saying the Polish Constitution guarantees her a six-year term. Fines could be imposed if Poland is found in breach of EU law. How did the Polish government react? The judicial reforms triggered mass street protests across Poland. Opponents say the governing Law and Justice (PiS) party will use the law to appoint new judges loyal to the authorities. The conservative government denies the accusations, saying the country's judiciary was not properly reformed after the end of communism in 1989. After Friday's order, Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki has said \"several possibilities will be analysed\" - without giving details. Poland and the EU's tug-of-war By the BBC's Adam Easton in Warsaw The European Commission was so alarmed about the law's damage to Poland's judicial independence that it asked the court to impose interim measures before the case has even been heard. Jaroslaw Kaczynski, widely considered the country's most powerful politician, insisted Poland would exercise its right to appeal. In fact Poland has no such right to appeal. What it will most likely do is argue that the changes do not contravene EU law, as the European Commission alleges, once the court hears the case. When the ECJ eventually hears the case, Poland will argue that the changes do not contravene EU law, as the European Commission alleges. Mr Kaczynski did not make it clear whether the retired judges would be reinstated in the meantime, as the court ordered, or only after the final ruling should it lose. President Andrzej Duda, a former Law and Justice MP and ally, has appointed 27 new judges to the Supreme Court. However, they will mostly fill positions in two newly-created Supreme Court chambers, rather than replace the retired judges, which could make it simpler to reinstate the latter.",

            "input": "Dominic CascianiHome affairs correspondent@BBCDomCon Twitter The speech was cancelled - but very quickly the prime minister declared the UK would stand should-to-shoulder with the American people, against terrorism everywhere. That declaration of support triggered a massive effort to bring British and American security operations closer together to hunt down anyone the two countries believed was involved in al-Qaeda-inspired violence. A great deal of that post 9/11 deal focused on extradition and how to bring men like the radical cleric Abu Hamza al-Masri to justice - men accused of supporting terrorism across international borders. Abu Hamza, a former nightclub bouncer, had seized control of a mosque in north London in the late 1990s and turned it into his powerbase for jihad. His band of followers included men from across the world - men whom the Americans said could be clearly linked to major terrorism plots. And this is where the interests came together. The Americans knew who they wanted - and the British knew where they were. The case against Abu Hamza is substantial. He faces 11 allegations including trying to set up a terrorism training camp in a remote region of Oregon. He is also alleged to have assisted in hostage taking in Yemen, an incident in which Western tourists died. If convicted, he faces life imprisonment. Two of the other five are Saudi Arabian-born Khaled al-Fawwaz and Egyptian Adel Abdul Bary. They are accused of being key aides to Osama bin Laden in London. They allegedly played roles in the 1998 US embassy bombings in East Africa, in which more than 200 people were killed and thousands injured. Mr al-Fawwaz has been held in detention since 1998, four years after he arrived in the UK. Mr Bary was arrested and detained the following year. Private prosecution The most controversial cases are those of Babar Ahmad and Syed Talha Ahsan, Mr Ahmad, born and brought up in south London, has been in detention since 2004. No British citizen has been held for longer in the UK without trial. He is accused of using a London-based website called Azzam.com to provide support for terrorism around the world. His supporters say he should be tried in the UK because the American case against him relies on material seized by the Metropolitan Police in London. A businessman is trying to privately prosecute Mr Ahmad and Mr Ahsan, saying they should face British justice. Many legal experts agree that the private prosecution has a slim chance of ultimately stopping those two extraditions. That's something that will become clear in the coming weeks. But why has this process taken so long? The simple answer is that it was unprecedented. As the cases moved through the British courts, it became clear that there had to be a definitive ruling on whether US jail conditions and justice matched the standards that the UK adheres to through the European Convention on Human Rights. The five cases slowly came together in Strasbourg, where top human rights judges (it's worth noting that they were until recently led by a British judge) wrestled with complex questions relating to inhumane treatment. The two key challenges related to what can appear to some Europeans an extreme system in the US. Prisoners can get life sentences without any possibility of parole - the five men facing extradition in this case would not face the death penalty. Four of the five could face near total solitary confinement for years in ADX Florence, a \"supermax\" jail used to hold the most dangerous men in the country. Abu Hamza is unlikely to go to that prison because of his disabilities. Security questions The court has now ruled that America's standards are compatible with European human rights. That means that any European nation receiving an extradition request from the US, in similar circumstances, can provide the suspect with far less delay - certainly less than a decade. So the wheels of extradition are now turning. Department of Justice officials will begin talking to their London counterparts in the Home Office and the Ministry of Justice about how the men will be handed over. Typically, an extradition happens within two weeks of a final appeal being turned down. These cases may take a little longer to process. The US, for instance, will need to work out what facilities it is providing for Abu Hamza, given his disabilities. There is also the security question. Each man is considered a high-risk detainee. We don't know yet how the US wants to transfer the men, whether on one flight - which would have enormous symbolic value to British ministers - or separately and with no fanfare. Once they arrive in the US, the men will be transferred to courts in New York and neighbouring Connecticut where the formal trial process will begin. They will be given lawyers and the same rights as other defendants.",

The boroughs had been due to allow people from different households to meet indoors and businesses to offer close contact services such as facials, but that has now been halted. Health and Social Care Secretary Matt Hancock said the decision was made \"in collaboration with local leaders after reviewing the latest data\" which showed infection rates had more than trebled in Bolton in under a week and doubled in Trafford since the last review. \"We have always been clear we will take swift and decisive action where needed to contain outbreaks,\" he added.

Greater Manchester Mayor Mr Burnham compared the government's weekly announcements on local coronavirus restrictions as \"like waiting for the white smoke out of the Vatican\". \"It's not working, it's confusing people, it's causing anger and resentment,\" he added. \"In my view, it's local councils that need to be in the driving seat here, working then in consultation with the government.\" Trafford's Labour council leader Andrew Western tweeted: \"We should never have been put in this mess in the first place; this has massively damaged public confidence in measures.\" Bolton Council leader David Greenhalgh said it would have been \"irresponsible not to recognise the unpredicted spike we have seen in Bolton\". He said he recognised \"many people will be extremely frustrated and annoyed by this decision\" but the borough had recorded the second highest increase in positive cases in the country. 'Disappointed' A Covid-19 spike in Bolton and Trafford prompted council bosses to ask for restrictions to remain in place a day before they were due to be lifted. Bolton currently has one of the highest rates of new virus cases per 100,000 residents in England. Chris Green, Conservative MP for Bolton West, had argued that restrictions should be eased in his constituency. But, following the U-turn, he said the government had based its decision on recent data which he hadn't seen. He has since tweeted to say he was \"disappointed at how this important decision has been communicated because of the impact this will have on people's lives\". Lockdown restrictions were eased on Wednesday in Stockport, Burnley, Hyndburn, parts of Bradford, excluding Bradford city and Keighley town, parts of Calderdale, excluding Halifax, and parts of Kirklees, excluding Dewsbury and Batley. According to government rules, people living in these areas can now: Measures were imposed at the end of July amid a rise in cases. Stockport has joined Wigan in being allowed to have two households socialise indoors. But in Bolton, Trafford, Manchester, Salford, Rochdale, Bury and Tameside it is still banned. In Oldham people are advised not to meet up with other households outdoors as well. Analysis By Daniel Wainwright, BBC England Data Unit The rise in cases in Trafford and Bolton shows how quickly the situation with coronavirus can change. On Friday the government announced it was easing the localised lockdown restrictions in parts of Greater Manchester from Wednesday - a decision it has now reversed in those two areas. Pointing to data for the week to 20 August, it said \"cases in Bolton and Stockport fell from 25.6 (per 100,000 residents) to 18.9, and 23 to 15.1 respectively, and Trafford fell from 27.1 to 17.8.\" Yet even then, there was concern that the rate was rising. The Labour leader of Trafford Council, Andrew Western, said the more recent data had shown a \"slight increase\". By Tuesday, the spike in Bolton had also become apparent and council leaders in both areas were calling for the easing of restrictions to not go ahead. According to data released on Tuesday evening, Trafford's rate for the week to 29 August was more than 35 cases per 100,000. In Bolton it was 59 cases per 100,000, driven in particular by high numbers of cases on 27, 28 and 29 August. Catalina Sastra, who runs the Party and Play, funhouse in Bolton was planning to re-open next week but said the changes were confusing. \"We're teetering on the edge... we are due to open with an online booking system, temperature reading, we've had all the screens put up... but it's just if it's on or if it's off\", she said. \"It's a bit like playing hokey-cokey. Are we in or are we out?\" A Department of Health and Social Care spokeswoman said: \"We are working closely with leaders and local authorities across Greater Manchester and Lancashire in response to the changing situation and we keep all local restrictions under constant consideration.\" Why not follow BBC North West on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram?

            "input": "By Tom de CastellaBBC News Magazine The prime minister has promised a \"concerted, all out war on gangs and gang culture\", in response to the riots and looting across English cities. A gangs taskforce is being set up, to be led by Home Secretary Theresa May and Work and Pensions Secretary Iain Duncan Smith. Bill Bratton, former police chief of Los Angeles and New York, is to advise the government on how to crack down on gangs. But were gangs really to blame? Here a number of experts and witnesses offer their view. Yes: The riots were planned in advance by gangs The speed and devastation with which the riots spread suggests they were organised. This wasn't a general uprising, says Christian Guy, policy director at think tank the Centre for Social Justice. It was a well co-ordinated operation, which is likely to have been led by young people in street gangs, he believes. Daniel Weston, a youth worker in Brixton, says gangs in his area bided their time after the first night of violence in Tottenham. When they were ready to strike, gang leaders used Blackberry Messenger, a closed network not visible to police, to mobilise younger gang members. Targets were identified - typically Footlocker, JD Sports and Currys - and gang members directed to them. Normally their business is selling drugs. But during the riots they \"put that to one side to\" to turn their attentions to looting, he believes. No: It was a wide spectrum of society taking part Not all criminal young people are in gangs. Gavin Knight, who spent long periods of time \"embedded\" with anti-gang units for his book Hood Rat, says many see gangs where none exist: \"People see a teenager in a hoodie and think it's a gang.\" In reality, there are few genuine gang members. And \"all sorts of people\" - teaching assistants, a graphic designer and university students - have been arrested for taking part in the looting. Paul Lewis, a Guardian journalist who spent five nights observing the violence, says it's wrong to try to put the blame on one group. Everyone's looking for a caricature yet those involved were a cross section of the local community. And each riot he saw - from Hackney to Gloucester - had a distinctive character. \"There were a great number of people swept along. The only generalisation that's credible is that on the whole they were young and poor,\" he says. Yes: The gangs suspended turf rivalries to maximise the damage Most gang violence is aimed at other gangs. But during the riots the gangs appeared to join forces. Strict territorial divides preventing young people \"slipping\" into rival areas were temporarily forgotten. Weston says gangs were given a \"hood pass\" - a slang term meaning that youths were allowed to travel into another neighbourhood. \"The gangs came together and forgot their rivalries,\" he says. For once, gang members from Peckham, Brixton, Clapham and Tulse Hill, allowed other's young people to move around unhindered. The informal truce didn't last long however. There have already been attacks on rival gangs to steal looted gear, he says. No: It wasn't gang unity but friends looking for excitement The loss of control by police in Tottenham gave young people ideas. But they weren't part of gangs, just \"excitable young kids\" who were easily led, says Knight. \"It was random, chaotic activity not a co-ordinated uprising.\" There was no truce between gangs, the looting was simply so chaotic that normal rules ceased to apply, he says. A lot has been made of the importance of gangs using Blackberry Messenger. But Lewis - who was receiving the messages - says BBM was not \"directly determining\" the action but \"loosely influencing events\". The messages were more likely to be sent between friendship groups than gang associates, he believes. Yes: Looted goods were ferried away by gangs There were widespread reports of organised looting with rioters sometimes queuing to take goods away. Andrew Malone, special correspondent for the Daily Mail, spent two hours standing outside a Panasonic shop in Ealing. He describes a scene in which younger drug runners ferried the spoils to older gang members in nearby vehicles. \"I saw people walking straight past me carrying flat screen TVs to BMWs and souped-up Golfs. There were even vans coming down.\" There was a gang hierarchy at work, he believes. The youngsters had the look of the \"kids\" he has seen cycling around estates selling small amounts of drugs. \"It was people acting in concert in the same way you get with dealing drugs. There were juniors and seniors as well as opportunists.\" Weston agrees. \"The older generation were the puppet masters pulling the strings. They weren't the ones doing the looting but they were getting the stuff.\" No: Riots are bad for the gang business model The primary purpose of gangs is to make money from selling drugs. Riots are the last thing they want, says says Prof John Pitts a criminologist who advises London councils on gangs. \"You can't sell drugs when there's a riot. There are cops everywhere.\" The attraction of looting pales when you could be making several thousand pounds a day selling drugs, he argues. It may be the case that the younger gang members - who would be making amounts of £50-£100 - would see the riots as an opportunity. \"The youngsters might have got involved. But I can't see why the elders would. Cameron is talking about the rioters and gangs as if they're the same thing. I don't think they are.\" Yes: If by gangs you mean gang culture Gangs are notoriously hard things to define and have become more fractured in recent years. But while gang members may be a statistically small part of the looting, a pervasive wider gang culture influenced many other young people to join in. \"Even if they are not acting as part of a gang, it will influence their behaviour,\" says Guy. \"The gangs are providing the sense of expectations, leadership and values.\" When Cameron talks of gangs he may be using it as a shorthand for the culture of instant gratification that commentators point to in gangsta rap, MTV and video games like Grand Theft Auto. The gangsta aesthetic is a style popular across all types of young people but most take it with a pinch of salt. The question, says Prof Pitts, is why a certain inner city section of society takes it so seriously. \"My guess is that the kids most affected are those for whom it provides an explanation and an ennobling narrative to their life.\"",

Some protesters threw fireworks, looted supermarkets and smashed shop windows. There were smaller demonstrations in the capital, Amsterdam. More than 100 people have been arrested. Some of the demonstrators threw fireworks and grabbed bicycles to build barricades against the police, who eventually used tear gas to clear the streets. A Covid-19 testing centre was also set alight on Saturday evening in the northern village of Urk, local authorities said. \"The fire in a screening centre in Urk goes beyond all limits,\" Health Minister Hugo de Jonge said. The 21:00 to 04:30 curfew, enforced on Saturday, is the first in the Netherlands since World War II. Violators face a €95 (£84) fine. Restrictions were delayed - now the backlash Burning bikes were built into barricades, supermarkets looted. In Eindhoven, golf balls and fireworks were hurled at police in full riot gear, who eventually used tear gas to clear the crowds. The scenes of violent unrest spread across the country: Amsterdam, Tilburg and Enschede, where young men threw stones at a hospital and torched a Covid testing centre. National Security Council Chairman Hubert Bruls said that, while he understood the protesters' frustrations, the more the Dutch persevere now, the sooner they can get their freedoms back. He labelled those involved in the violence not demonstrators, but \"corona hooligans\". Actually many see vaccines as the key, and the Netherlands is lagging behind there - last in the EU to roll out its vaccine programme, to date 77,000 people have been given their first dose. At the start of the outbreak, the Dutch government resisted measures like masks and curfews, telling Dutch citizens they were sensible, rule-abiding and didn't need to be treated like children. That sense of exceptionalism has come back to haunt them. Almost a year on, some people are struggling to do the mental pivot required to accept that the Netherlands has been forced to introduce draconian measures it initially dismissed. The curfew was passed in parliament on Thursday, albeit with a slightly later start time than the proposed 20:30. The country's bars and restaurants have been shut since October, while schools and non-essential shops closed last month. A ban on flights from the UK, South Africa and South America has been put in place due to fears over new variants of the virus. There have been more than 944,000 cases and 13,646 confirmed deaths from Covid-19 in the Netherlands.",

Police Scotland phased out a policy of consensual stop-and-search, which was controversial and had no legal basis. They continue to stop young people who they believe may be committing an offence - but the law does not permit them to search for alcohol. The government had 130 responses to a consultation on the issue, from individuals and organisations. It also spoke with young people with experience of being searched. It concluded that there was \"not enough evidence at this time to support a new power\". Justice Secretary Michael Matheson said: \"We know stop-and-search can be a valuable tool in combating crime, but it is important that we get the balance right between protecting the public and the rights of individuals. \"Maintaining trust between the police and the public is an important part of finding that balance and we have been listening to people's views, including young people, about when and how stop-and-search should be used. \"Police Scotland are already phasing out the practice of non-statutory, or consensual, stop-and-search, following recommendations of the independent Advisory Group, ahead of the introduction of the new code from next year.\" 'Clearer idea of impact' He added: \"We welcome the range of views provided, particularly over the issue of powers to search for alcohol. We want to make the right decision, which is why we will gather more evidence while the code of practice is in place before considering the issue further.\" The government plans to review the policy again next year. John Scott QC, chairman of the Advisory Group, said: \"This consultation exercise provides a new benchmark for consultation exercises involving and affecting children and young people. \"With the considerable assistance of individuals, groups and networks, we now have a much clearer idea of the impact of police activity, both positive and negative, on some of our younger citizens.\" 'Good relationships' Assistant Chief Constable Mark Williams said: \"While police officers require to have sufficient powers to allow them to intervene and recover alcohol, there is a balance to be struck between Police Scotland's absolute commitment to protect children and young people and ensuring that we maintain and sustain good relationships, trust and confidence. \"The views of children and young people are really important to Police Scotland and have helped shape new national training on the use of stop-and-search which is currently being rolled out to all officers in advance of the code being introduced.\" Pauline McIntyre, parliamentary and policy officer for the Children and Young People's Commissioner Scotland, who is also a member of the independent Advisory Group on stop-and-search, said: \"The Scottish government's decision not to go ahead with a new statutory power is the right one for children and young people. \"The evidence overwhelmingly suggests that it is seizures, not searches, that help keep children and young people safe in relation to alcohol. \"I am pleased that children and young people, including those with direct experience of stop and search, were widely consulted on this issue.

It follows price warnings from farmers' representatives about peas, lettuces and potatoes. Wholesale prices of other vegetables have already soared by up to 80% since the start of the year. But the Centre for Economics and Business Research (CEBR) explained that these increases can take up to 18 months to fully have an effect on shoppers. \"So, while the worst of the recent heat may have passed, the cost to consumers looks set to climb,\" it warned. The UK saw record temperatures in June, July and August which caused widespread drought and crop failures. This, along with a \"wet, cold and challenging\" winter, particularly the cold spell caused by the Beast from the East, has put stress on farming costs and yields, CEBR said. As a result, it said: It said these \"wholesale price shocks\" were likely to push up consumer costs by about £45m per week - equivalent to £7.15 per month per household. 'Effectively bare' Tod Bulmer from Kenyon Hall Farm near Warrington said yields from his fruit and cereal harvest had been half of what he would normally expect. He told BBC Radio 4's Today programme that the potential price rise would compensate \"a little bit but not enough\". He added that the low yields meant dairy farmers were having to pay more for their feed. National Farmers' Union president Minette Batters said the shelves for feeding livestock were \"effectively bare\" and that dairy farmers were having to rely on silage meant for winter use. \"Many farmers are looking at £60,000 of added costs,\" she said. She added that she was still waiting on the government to deliver on a promise to take action. Following a drought summit earlier this month with the NFU, Environment Secretary Michael Gove said the government would do \"whatever it takes\" to maintain food supplies. Earlier this month, the Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board warned that livestock and vegetable prices would be a \"little bit higher right the way through until next spring\" because of weather issues. Shortages of vegetables also helped drive food price inflation to 1.6% in July - up from the 1.2% in May and June, according to the British Retail Consortium and Nielsen. A spokeswoman for the Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs said: \"Food prices are affected by a number of factors aside from the weather, such as fuel costs, international commodity markets and exchange rates.\" She said steps had been taken to help those affected, including allowing farmers to take more water from reservoirs and providing flexibility on funding. She added that the hot weather had helped boost products such as soft fruits and wine.

He has been referred to the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) by West Yorkshire Police. Savile allegedly abused hundreds of people during 60 years in showbusiness. 'Known personally' In October 2009, Savile was interviewed under caution by Surrey Police about alleged sexual offences involving teenage girls in the 1970s, but no further action was taken against him. BBC home affairs correspondent Danny Shaw says during the inquiry a police inspector from West Yorkshire contacted Surrey to say he was \"known personally\" to Savile and passed on the late presenter's phone number. \"During the police interview, Savile named an inspector and said police had been to his home for tea. The IPCC is examining whether the actions of the police inspector who contacted Surrey amounted to misconduct,\" he said. Surrey Police's investigation into claims against Savile - known as Operation Ornament - began on 13 May 2007 and concluded on 30 October 2009 with no further action. Following Savile's death in 2011 and further abuse claims, a report into the way Surrey Police dealt with the allegations was published last month. In the report, the former police inspector from West Yorkshire is referred to as Inspector 5. The inspector contacted Surrey Police on 8 June 2009 and explained that Savile had lost the contact details of one of the investigating officers. The report says: \"Inspector 5 then passed a telephone number to Inspector 12 advising that Savile can be contacted and possibly seen tomorrow at Stoke Mandeville Hospital... \"Inspector 12 outlined the conversation with Inspector 5 and made reference to the fact that he was known personally to Savile and that Savile gets many of these complaints.\" The IPCC has asked seven forces, including West Yorkshire, to consider if any other officers should be investigated over the way they handled complaints against Jimmy Savile. The other forces are Surrey, Sussex, Thames Valley, Greater Manchester, the Metropolitan Police and Lancashire. The decision follows the IPCC's review of recently published reports - Operation Yewtree, a Scotland Yard inquiry established in the wake of the Savile scandal, the Crown Prosecution Service report by Alison Levitt QC and Operation Ornament. Intelligence review In addition, the IPCC also reviewed information supplied by West Yorkshire Police, Sussex Police and Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary (HMIC). The inspectorate is preparing a report for the home secretary on information known to the police and the response to historical allegations of criminal conduct in relation to Savile. IPCC commissioner Rachel Cerfontyne said: \"Having had the opportunity to assess all the information that is available to us, I directed West Yorkshire Police to record and refer the conduct of a former inspector. \"Furthermore, I believe that all the forces that may have had intelligence concerning the late Jimmy Savile should now go back and consider all the relevant information and materials they possess that may highlight any recordable conduct issues for the IPCC to assess.\" Mark Burns-Williamson, police and crime commissioner for West Yorkshire, welcomed the IPCC's involvement. \"It is vitally important that the people of West Yorkshire and elsewhere understand what happened and the role that the police played during the many years that Savile lived in West Yorkshire and committed such shocking crimes here and throughout the UK,\" he said. Savile, who died in 2011 aged 84, was a Radio 1 DJ and the presenter of the Jim'll Fix It show on BBC One. Last month a Metropolitan Police report said he had abused adults and children across the country over decades. Children's charity NSPCC said Savile had been one of the most prolific sex offenders in its 129-year history.",

There are rows of Smiths, and Wrights, and even some Camerons, but also Fleisches, Ernsts and Mullers. Almost 600,000 names - friends and former enemies - mingled together for the first time on a ring of panels, in strict alphabetical order. No ranks, no nationalities; just a dizzying list of the human stories that ended on France's northern battlefields. In a land dotted with war memorials this new \"ring of remembrance\" reorders the memory of World War One. One hundred years on, the mood here is not of a national loss, but a European one. A memorial that fits the era we live in, say its creators, reflecting Europe's current and remarkable period of unity and peace. It also honours the sense expressed by soldiers at the time, they say, of a shared experience and shared destiny with men from the other side. One of the names on the panel belongs to Geert Hindricks, from the 3rd Hannover Infantry Regiment. He described in a last letter to his wife how the German soldiers on the Western Front became friendly with their enemies in the British trench just 20m (65ft) away, warning each other when officers were passing by and sharing meat and cigarettes. \"When you think about it,\" he wrote, \"it's a sad affair when there's no animosity between the locals and the soldiers, and only those at the top can't agree on anything.\" For the officials of modern-day Europe, standing side-by-side at the site on Tuesday - French President Francois Hollande alongside German Defence Minister Ursula von der Leyen - this centenary is a visible sign of how much has changed. The reconciliation that grew out of the wars of the 20th Century put an end to inter-European conflicts stretching back hundreds of years. As the historian and philosopher Joseph Rovan puts it: \"It took 23 Franco-German wars [since the 16th Century] to finally create Europe.\" Much of that progress has been down to the personal chemistry between Europe's post-war leaders. But the iconic friendship between France's Charles de Gaulle and Konrad Adenauer of Germany, and their post-war rapprochement, hasn't always been easy to emulate. The creators of the centenary monument have left part of the structure hanging above the gentle slope of Arras's fields - a reminder and a warning about the fragility of peace. With tensions rising between Paris, Berlin and London over how to govern Europe, and how to protect national interests within it, the anniversary is a chance for Europe's current leaders and decision-makers to reflect on the nature of brotherhood and what happens when it fails.",

            "input": "Sajid Javid said he hoped the scheme would \"right the wrongs\" of a \"mistake that should never have happened\". Thousands of people were wrongly targeted by the \"hostile environment\" strategy for illegal immigration. Many of those affected were people from Caribbean countries who arrived in the UK between 1948 and 1971. People from other Commonwealth and non-Commonwealth countries who arrived in the UK before 1988 were also affected and are eligible to apply for compensation, Mr Javid said in a Commons statement. The estates of people who have died whilst waiting for their status would also be allowed to make a claim, he added. Mr Javid said the \"unacceptable treatment\" experienced by some members of the Windrush generation, which came to public attention in late 2017, was of \"profound regret\". The home secretary said he hoped the compensation scheme goes \"some way\" to delivering justice for those affected. He added there was no cap for the amount of compensation that could be paid out per claim but the \"baseline estimate\" for total payouts was £200m. A Home Office impact assessment estimates that the scheme will cost between £49m and £587m - taking compensation and operational costs into account. The assessment says there's \"significant uncertainty\" about the costs because it was unclear how many people will apply. Satbir Singh, chief executive of the Joint Council for the Welfare of Immigrants, said the announcement was \"short on detail\". \"While we welcome the creation of a compensation scheme, we know that money cannot buy back the years the victims have lost to destitution and anguish - nor can it compensate for the despair they felt at losing jobs, homes, health and a sense of identity and rightful pride in their contribution to the UK\", he said. 'Validate the emotional distress' One of those caught up in the scandal, Glenda Caesar, lost her job as a NHS administrator at a doctors surgery because she no longer had a British passport to prove her identity. She told the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire programme she \"couldn't work or receive benefits\" and describes getting to a stage where \"I just wanted to take some tablets and sleep\". Asked what she hopes to get from the Home Office scheme, she said: \"Validate my loss of earnings, validate the emotional distress I've had to go through. I'm asking for not millions... but look at what I was earning, my pension - 10 years of my pension I lost as well - validate that.\" Willow Sims, another person affected, says she is torn, as she \"doesn't care about the money\" and wants to \"not feel like a criminal\" so she can move on. But she says she sees her children struggling, can't pay the rent, and is having to borrow money from friends and family. \"I need to at least recoup what I have lost\", she says. There's no cap on how much overall compensation someone can receive under the scheme but many categories have set payments. For example, a person who was unlawfully deported will get £10,000; those detained for over 30 minutes are entitled to £500 per hour for the first three hours, followed by lower hourly rates if they're held for longer; and people wrongly made homeless can expect £250 per month, up to a maximum of £25,000. With so many variables it's not surprising there's wide variation on how much the scheme will cost. Officials in the Home Office say the final amount will range from £49m to £587m, depending on how many people apply; Sajid Javid says it's likely to be around £200m. To give a sense of scale, that will be more than the £154m in compensation paid out to 40,000 victims of crime in England, Scotland and Wales last year under the Criminal Injuries Compensation Scheme. More information on the scheme can be found here. Another snub Meanwhile, victims of the Windrush scandal claim they have been snubbed from an official reception to launch the compensation scheme. Immigration lawyer Jacqueline McKenzie says she was asked to invite a handful of her clients to a \"Windrush engagement\" event, but only two of the six clients she represented were sent invitations. She says it proves \"nothing has been learned\" by the Home Office and that \"this group continues to be treated with contempt\". She said: \"There will be drinks and canapes, and you know the black bourgeoisie, as I call them, the glitterati - they'll all be there.\" But Ms McKenzie says the event should have been about \"discussing this seriously with the people who work with Windrush [victims] and people who are affected by the scandal.\" She also criticised the government for failures in setting up a hardship fund after the scandal came to light, saying \"hardly anyone\" been granted emergency support by the Home Office to date. Sajid Javid told the House Of Commons that nine people have been awarded money from the hardship fund, which was set up last year to help victims in immediate need - whilst they waited for the launch of the compensation scheme.",

Jamie Simpson, 32, and his associates were surrounded by armed police before being arrested near Knutsford. Liverpool Crown Court ordered Simpson, who was jailed for 11 years, to forfeit his profits from the gang's dealing. The order was made during a Proceeds of Crime Act hearing, Cheshire Constabulary said. Det Ch Insp Giles Pierce said a six million figure was largely \"unheard of\" in these sorts of cases. But he added: \"This is due to the fact that Simpson was involved in one of the largest in-land cocaine seizures in this country. \"More than £6m of that cocaine belonged to Simpson and the remaining amount would have been purchased by other criminals.\" The detective said the Proceeds of Crime Act gives police the power to take away anything of value that Simpson may purchase after his release. \"This means he will never live the lavish lifestyle he did when he was operating his criminal enterprise,\" he said. Twenty one people were convicted following an investigation called Operation Dreadnought into two organised crime gangs in Warrington, one of which was led by Simpson. Police said the gangs led \"cash-rich\" lives and drove fast, high-powered cars, but their extravagant lifestyles raised suspicions. Cheshire police and crime commissioner David Keane said the money seized will be reinvested back into local community groups via grants to make their area a safer place.",

            "input": "By Tara McKelveyBBC News, Washington Judah Brass, 19, has been hunkered down in Knoxville, Tennessee, with his parents and brothers and sisters for weeks. But a few days ago, they went for a hike in the Great Smoky Mountains in a park near their house. \"Standing in the breeze, I was just so thankful,\" he says, describing what it was like to see spring flowers and hear the croaking of frogs. \"It was freeing.\" He was one of the first to visit the Great Smoky Mountains park after it had re-opened. The park, along with Yellowstone National Park and many of the other national parks, had been shut because of the pandemic. Park officials were concerned about the virus, and they closed off access to many of the national parks in March. The parks are the country's treasures, showcasing beauty that ranges from the Florida Everglades to California's giant sequoias. With such impressive offerings, the parks attract crowds - last year, more than 4m people visited Yellowstone alone. But the Great Smoky Mountains, which has also reopened, is the busiest - a million visitors each month. It means people who have been cooped up for weeks can now head for the parks and enjoy the outdoors. The president celebrated the opening of the parks in a speech last month, saying that it showed the US had made progress in its effort to fight the virus. \"People are going to be very happy,\" he said. He's right - hikers and others are thrilled at the prospect of returning to the great outdoors. They know that spending time outdoors is good for one's mental, emotional and physical well-being. Science also shows that it helps people at work and allows them to find new ways to solve problems. Shelley Carson, a psychology professor at Harvard University, explains: \"Being surrounded by natural beauty helps our ability to be creative.\" But still hikers and nature lovers, even the most avid among them, are concerned about risks. They are worried about crowds at the park. They wonder if social-distancing guidelines will be followed, and they are not sure if it is safe to be in a place with so many people. Jon Waterman, a former park ranger and the author of a book entitled Atlas of the National Parks, clearly loves the parks. Still he thinks that this may not be the best time to visit them. \"It will be difficult if not impossible to enforce social distancing rules,\" he says. \"Anyone thinking they can safely visit Yellowstone is not thinking clearly. Those crowded national parks are simply not going to be safe.\" The re-opening of the parks comes at a key moment for the nation and its fight against the pandemic. Nearly 100,000 people have died of the virus, and the health guidelines for preventing infection remain in place - people are told to wash their hands frequently, practise social distancing and wear masks in public. Still the country is now opening up. State officials across the US have modified their stay-at-home orders, allowing people to venture out and resume some of their activities. For many, that means a visit to the park. Officials have tried to minimise the danger. They are opening the parks in phases in order to limit the number of people who will visit at the same time. And visitor centres are locked. A spokeswoman for the National Park Service told the BBC people should follow the White House health guidelines when they visit all of the parks and should keep their distance from others: \"Give others plenty of room whether you are on a trail, at a boat launch or in a parking lot.\" People have been rushing to the parks, though, making it hard to avoid the crowds. In some parts of the Great Smoky Mountains park, it was packed, says Anna Zanetti, a director of a non-profit organisation called Friends of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. They showed up in droves after it re-opened, and she says that led to \"overcrowding\". Meanwhile visitors to the other parks have flaunting the health guidelines. This week at Yellowstone, reports the Guardian, people were not wearing masks. Not all of the visitors to the parks have been cavalier. Before Judah Brass and other members of his family headed out to the Great Smoky Mountains, they packed masks and hand sanitiser \"just in case\", he says. They visited during the week, and the place was not crowded. Public health experts believe the benefits of opening up the national parks outweigh the risks, so long as visitors take precautions in the way the Brass family did. Bring masks and hand sanitiser, says Joseph Allen of the Harvard TH Chan School of Public Health. If you are near others, you should wear your mask, he says, even when you are in a forest. (If you find yourself separate from others on a wooded path, he says \"it's OK to put your mask down\".) For Judah Brass, the benefits are clear so the precautions are worth the effort. \"This big, beautiful view,\" he says, recalling what he saw, \"and the field in front of the mountains. It was just gorgeous.\"",

            "input": "By Emma StanleyBBC News Mormons from across the country have been preparing for the start of a religious pageant marking the 175th anniversary of the church in Britain. It's a hive of activity as over 1,000 volunteers work behind the scenes at a temple close to the town of Chorley. The idea to organise a British Pageant started four years ago. Pageants take place annually in the United States, but the organisers said this is the first to be held in Europe. The Preston Temple site was chosen for its connections to the faith. The first Mormon missionaries were sent from New York to Liverpool in 1837, led by the Apostle Heber C Kimball. They first preached in Preston in July of that year, and baptised their first nine converts the same month in the River Ribble. Original songs The pageant tells their story, with an original script that includes extracts from their journals. Comprised of re‐enactments, storytelling, original songs and dancing, the pageant has been scripted and choreographed by volunteers of the Mormon faith. Free evening performances involve a cast of over 300, from babies to people in their 80s, performing to 1,500 people in a temporary structure the size of two large school halls. \"The set has been built completely and utterly from scratch by volunteers,\" said John Thompson, who is in charge of the production. Mr Thompson has led a team of four leaders and a work crew of about 25 young people who have assisted in painting and building sets for the past year. Performers from the pageant will be mingling with guests at a Victorian Fair held before the hour-long performance. Linda Beverley, who is in charge of all the activities, said: \"We want people to step on site and immediately feel they're back in the 1800s. \"It's all about getting people into the spirit of it.\" Free activities include traditional craft workshops as well as period photographs and costumes. Those costumes have been worked on for three months by a team led by Helen Chisholm. 'Huge family' Some have been donated from Salt Lake City, but about 50 have been made from scratch by volunteers in Yorkshire, Manchester, Blackpool, Birmingham and Staines. Mrs Chisholm said: \"So many people want to help, we've even had non-sewers doing jobs like adding buttons. \"I always wanted to design, but didn't get the chance to go to art college, so now I'm doing my designing bit.\" An actress who proudly dons one such costume is Sandy Maclean, the oldest actor in the performance at 68 years old, who plays Irish sister Ellen Maybin. \"I went to an audition and they asked if I could do an Irish accent,\" she said. \"I've never been to Ireland, I have no Irish ancestry and no friends who are Irish, but someone touched me on the shoulder and said 'course you can do it' in an Irish accent and it just flowed out of me. \"I feel like I've really let my hair down and been given the chance to be someone a bit different.\" One of the younger performers is 15-year-old Noah Liptrott from Macclesfield. \"I used to go to a performing arts school so I thought I would join in here and have some fun,\" he said. \"It's been a very relaxed atmosphere. All the directors take you under their wing and give you direction in a lovely, kind way.\" Noah said it had been great fun working with the youngest children: \"I have five brothers so it reminds me of them running round - they're so funny. \"We sometimes play the piano at lunchtime and the kids come and tell jokes.\" With an arts background, Noah has enjoyed helping with some of the choreography, which has been co-ordinated by assistant director Jonathan Mace. Currently studying business management at the University of Birmingham, he hopes the experience will help in a career as a theatre manager. \"I've done a lot of school shows and youth theatre and last year I produced a musical,\" he said. \"The 14-hour days are worth it, because we truly believe what we're doing is important. \"It's about bringing people together. I only knew two or three people in the cast before and now we're like a huge family. \"We want everyone to feel part of that family.\" Performance dates for the British Pageant are 31 July 1-3 August and 6-10 August at the Preston Temple, Chorley.",

Footage shows the man, George Floyd, groaning and repeatedly saying \"I can't breathe\" to the white officer. The incident echoed that of Eric Garner, a black man who died being arrested in New York City in 2014. The FBI has said it will investigate the Minneapolis incident, which took place on Monday evening. Minnesota police said 46-year-old Mr Floyd, who had worked providing security at a restaurant, died after a \"medical incident\" in a \"police interaction\". On Tuesday afternoon, Mayor Jacob Frey confirmed the four officers involved in the incident had been \"terminated\". \"This is the right call,\" he tweeted. At a press conference earlier, Mr Frey had described the incident as \"completely and utterly messed up\". \"I believe what I saw and what I saw is wrong on every level,\" he said. \"Being black in America should not be a death sentence.\" It is the latest accusation of US police brutality against African Americans. Recent high-profile cases include an officer in Maryland who fatally shot a man inside a patrol car. The incident in Minneapolis began with a report of a customer attempting to use a counterfeit $20 bill at a store. The officers located the suspect in his car, police said in a statement. They were told the man, who has not been identified, was \"sitting on top of a blue car and appeared to be under the influence\". After being ordered to step away from the vehicle, the man physically resisted officers, according to police. \"Officers were able to get the suspect into handcuffs and noted he appeared to be suffering medical distress,\" the statement added. In the 10-minute video filmed by a witness, the man is kept on the ground by the officer and, at one point, says: \"Don't kill me.\" Witnesses urged the officer to take his knee off the man's neck, noting that he was not moving. One says, \"His nose is bleeding\", while another pleads, \"Get off his neck.\" The man then appears motionless before he is put on a stretcher and into an ambulance. Police said no weapons were used during the incident and that body camera footage had been handed to the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA), which is investigating the case. On Tuesday evening, officers used tear gas to disperse a mass protest outside a police precinct in Minneapolis, according to local media. A journalist for the Star Tribune newspaper tweeted that he had been struck by a rubber bullet fired by police. A reporter for local KTSP-TV tweeted that demonstrators had smashed glass at the precinct building and sprayed graffiti on a police patrol car. Police said in a statement earlier about the death of George Floyd: \"As additional information has been made available, it has been determined that the Federal Bureau of Investigation will be a part of this investigation.\" Speaking to US media on Tuesday, Chief Arradondo said the force's policies \"regarding placing someone under control\" will be reviewed as part of the probe. According to the Associated Press news agency, Minneapolis police officers are allowed under the department's use-of-force policy to kneel on a suspect's neck as long as they do not obstruct the airway. Asked about the FBI's involvement, Chief Arradondo said he made the decision to include the agency after receiving \"additional information\" from a community source \"that just provided more context\". In a statement, a spokesperson for the FBI Minneapolis division said the agency's investigation woud focus on whether the police officers involved \"willfully deprived the individual of a right or privilege protected by the Constitution or laws of the United States\". When completed, the agency will present its findings to the Minnesota state's attorney for possible federal charges. The Minnesota BCA, which investigates most in-custody deaths, will continue to conduct its own investigation, focusing on possible violations of state laws. Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar - who has reportedly been shortlisted as Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden's running mate - issued a statement calling for a \"complete and thorough outside investigation\". \"Justice must be served for this man and his family, justice must be served for our community, justice must be served for our country,\" she said. \"I can't breathe\" became a national rallying cry against police brutality in the US after the July 2014 death of Eric Garner. Garner, an unarmed black man, uttered the phrase 11 times after being detained by police on suspicion of illegally selling loose cigarettes. They were the final words of the 43-year-old, who died after a police officer placed him in a chokehold. A city medical examiner ruled the chokehold contributed to Garner's death. The New York City police officer involved in Garner's deadly arrest was fired from the police force more than five years later, in August 2019. No officer was charged in that case.",

A spokesperson for the couple said the comments did not refer to any specific political party or candidate, but were instead \"a call for decency\". Voting for the next US president, with candidates including Donald Trump and Democrat Joe Biden, is on 3 November. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex appeared in a live video in what appeared to be their California home as part of the Time 100 - a list compiled by Time magazine to celebrate the world's most influential people. It was their first joint TV appearance since they ceased being working members of the Royal Family in March. \"As we approach this November, it's vital that we reject hate speech, misinformation and online negativity,\" the duke said as he sat on a bench alongside Meghan. He also reminded Americans to be discerning in the content they consumed online. \"When the bad outweighs the good, for many, whether we realise it or not, it erodes our ability to have compassion and our ability to put ourself in someone else's shoes,\" he said. \"Because when one person buys into negativity online, the effects are felt exponentially. It's time to not only reflect, but act.\" 'You deserve to be heard' The 36-year-old duke said he would not be voting in the election because he was not a US citizen, adding that he had never voted in UK elections either. Members of the Royal Family traditionally do not vote, and the Queen is politically neutral. Although UK law does not ban royalty from voting, it is considered unconstitutional for them to do so. Harry and Meghan stepped aside from their roles as senior working royals in March in a bid for personal and financial freedom. They now live in the US but are still members of the Royal Family. Analysis By Sarah Campbell, BBC News royal correspondent When Harry and Meghan ceased to be working royals back in March, the official \"divorce\" statement read: \"While they can no longer formally represent The Queen, the Sussexes have made clear that everything they do will continue to uphold the values of Her Majesty.\" It is Harry's contribution to the Time video message which seems to have attracted the most comment. His spokesman is clear that the duke was making a \"non-partisan call for decency\". But with the Trump administration commonly accused of the traits called out by Harry - \"hate speech, misinformation and online negativity\"- his contribution has been widely interpreted as party political. The expectation is that royals remain neutral and the question troubling many people today is whether that means Harry's words are incompatible with the statement issued by the palace in March. It was always going to be difficult to work a way through their royal/non-royal status to the satisfaction of the Sussexes and the Royal Family, as this latest episode once again makes clear. Reacting to the couple's remarks, Royal biographer Robert Jobson said: \"They are not carrying out public duties, live abroad and are really completely detached from our monarchical system now so what difference would it make? \"Meghan, after all, holds American citizenship and has always voted. The business about royals not getting involved in politics is less clear when it comes to Meghan or what the protocol should be in this case. \"But as she is now back living in her country I am sure many would think it wrong that she is not allowed to exercise her democratic right to vote.\" However, Mr Jobson said \"it would be better\" for Prince Harry to withdraw from the line of succession \"to avoid further confusion\". And if they were to leave their royal titles behind it may set the duchess \"free to pursue a political career,\" he added. But former Liberal Democrat MP Norman Baker said Prince Harry should not have remarked on the US election as he is still a \"representative\" of the UK. There was \"no problem\" with a \"private citizen\" expressing their views, he said, \"the problem is Harry still has his HRH status\". \"He wants his foot in both camps,\" said the author of the book And What Do You Do? What The Royal Family Don't Want You To Know. The duchess, who mocked then-Republican candidate Mr Trump during a 2016 television appearance, said in the video that the November poll was the \"most important election of our lifetime\". \"When we vote, our values are put into action and our voices are heard. Your voice is a reminder that you matter, because you do and you deserve to be heard,\" she said. A spokesperson for the couple said: \"His message is not in reference to any specific political party or candidate, but is instead a call for decency in how we engage with each other, interact, and consume information - especially online.\" A Buckingham Palace spokesperson said: \"We would not comment. The duke is not a working member of the Royal Family and any comments he makes are made in a personal capacity.\"",

Above, the bright blue sky is devoid of the aeroplanes ordinarily flitting back and forth with such regularity they are used to tell the time. The absence of holidaymakers due to the Covid-19 pandemic is keenly felt on this Caribbean island for which, like many of its counterparts, tourism has long been its breadbasket. Often dubbed the \"most tourism-dependent region in the world\", the Caribbean attracted more than 31 million visitors last year. For some islands, the sector accounts to a colossal two-thirds of gross domestic product. 'Zero tourists, zero income' Antigua closed its borders to commercial flights in late March in an effort to contain the coronavirus. \"Zero tourists means zero income,\" local excursion operator Glen Hector tells the BBC. It is especially galling after ploughing his life savings into a new boat for his Creole Antigua Tours company in October. \"My business is 100% dependent on tourists. We're staying positive that things will pick up but I'm not seeing that happening until at least the end of the year,\" he explains. \"If things don't get better I'm really expecting to pack up. I know other small companies who feel the same.\" On 4 June the first commercial flight in 10 weeks will land in Antigua when American Airlines touches down from Miami. British Airways is set to follow suit in July. Tourism bosses hope the island's oft-touted \"365 beaches\" will help facilitate social distancing and woo cautious holidaymakers back. Still, Aidan McCauley, owner of the Sugar Ridge resort, is expecting a \"very soft season\". He hopes to reopen by November. \"We get 50% of our guests from the US and we believe that market will recover quicker, assuming Covid is contained. But is that likely? A second wave in the autumn would mean nobody will be able to come at all,\" he says. His plans include converting some of the hotel's 60 suites to self-catering to alleviate travellers' fears of virus transmission. In St Lucia, the Anse Chastanet resort's 540-strong workforce is down to just 35.

With tourism the country's main source of both jobs and income, the drop-off is \"scary stuff\". Furloughed staff are receiving income support through the country's national insurance scheme but residents are acutely aware that the impact on government finances will be long-lasting. \"The government is being hammered because no-one has paid any taxes for the last couple of months. They were expecting a windfall in March from VAT as February is traditionally the strongest month,\" Mr McKee explains. \"St Lucia is too well off for IMF assistance so where the funds will come from I don't know. The virus itself has been pretty well contained but the economic fallout is terrifying,\" he adds. In Dominica, tourism keeps up to 5,000 of the island's 72,000 inhabitants employed, says director of tourism Colin Piper. The sector had already taken a hit from 2017's devastating Hurricane Maria but visitors were fast returning to explore the country's famous hot springs, rainforests and waterfalls. Dominica's healthy agricultural industry means it is less reliant on vacation dollars than many of its neighbours. Nonetheless, tourism contributes up to a third of GDP, Mr Piper says, with officials working hard to ensure the \"sustainability of livelihoods\". Low case numbers Many Caribbean nations are hedging their bets that people who have spent weeks cooped up on lockdowns across the world will be longing for a beach vacation. What the islands have in their favour is relatively low numbers of virus cases. Earlier this month, University of West Indies researchers declared Covid-19 to be contained within the English-speaking Caribbean. Now the region has the delicate balancing act of luring tourists back while ensuring both their safety and that of their citizens in tiny nations with limited health resources. Hospitality-related businesses employ more than 15,000 of Turks and Caicos' 40,000 inhabitants, says Todd Foss, president of the British territory's Hotel and Tourism Association. Bookings from prospective holidaymakers are still being received daily, but lack of confidence in local health facilities is still a deterrent for many, Mr Foss says. \"The key to welcoming the first plane appears to be for the ministry of health to increase the capacity of our hospitals, particularly the intensive care units. Until this occurs, we are unlikely to see any revenues for the industry,\" he adds. In Antigua, the government plans to require all visitors to undergo rapid Covid-19 testing upon entry. They hope provisions such as virus tests for all industry workers and socially distanced resort dining will make people feel comfortable enough to travel. Tourism Minister Charles Fernandez concedes \"things will be slow\" but says there are \"promising signs\" vacationers are keen to return to the Caribbean. With the Atlantic hurricane season around the corner, those who have traditionally relied on the peak winter season to see them through the quiet summer months are hoping those predictions bear fruit.",

This figure is predicted to increase to more than 15 billion by 2025. Plastic raises by 20-fold the risk of disease outbreaks on coral reefs, according to research. Plastic bags, bottles and rice sacks were among the items found. \"Plastic is one of the biggest threats in the ocean at the moment, I would say, apart from climate change,\" said Dr Joleah Lamb of Cornell University in Ithaca, US. \"It's sad how many pieces of plastic there are in the coral reefs ...if we can start targeting those big polluters of plastic, hopefully we can start reducing the amount that is going on to these reefs.\" Precious resource More than 275 million people rely on coral reefs for food, coastal protection, tourism income, and cultural importance. It's thought that plastic allows diseases that prey on the marine invertebrates that make-up coral reefs to flourish. Branching or finger-like forms of corals are most likely to get entangled in plastic debris. These are important habitats for fish and fisheries, the scientists say. \"A lot of times we come across big rice sacks or draping plastic bags,\" said Dr Lamb, who led the study. \"What we do find is these corals with a lot of complexity like branches and finger-like corals will become eight times more likely to be entangled in these types of plastics.\" In the study, published in the journal Science, international researchers surveyed more than 150 reefs from four countries in the Asia-Pacific region between 2011 and 2014. Plastic was found on one-third of the coral reefs surveyed. Reefs near Indonesia were loaded with most plastic, while Australian reefs showed the lowest concentration. Thailand and Myanmar were in the middle. \"The country's estimated amount of mismanaged plastics - so the way they deal with their plastic waste - was a strong predictor of how much we would see on the reef,\" said Dr Lamb. Coral reefs face many threats. Coral bleaching is caused by unusually warm water. Coral polyps loose algae from their tissues, which drains them of their colour. They may recover if temperature changes are reversed in a reasonably short time, but this process can take many years. In the case of diseases, organisms attack coral, leading to likely death. Previous research has found that plastic debris can stress coral through blocking out light and oxygen, thereby giving pathogens a chance to take hold. Based on projections of plastic waste going into the ocean, the researchers suggest that the number of plastic items snagged on Asia-Pacific corals may increase from 11.1 billion to 15.7 billion plastic items by 2025. An estimated 4.8 to 12.7 million tonnes of plastic waste enter the ocean in a single year. More than three-quarters of this plastic is thought to originate on land. Follow Helen on Twitter.",

Producers Christopher Hanley and Jordan Gertner hit back, stating Cullen \"does not control the final cut\". Early reviews of the film - based on a Martin Amis novel - were mixed. The Guardian called it \"novelistic, rich and awfully silly\", while Screen Daily described it as \"lushly ambitious\". Toronto organisers took the decision to withdraw the film from the line-up after becoming aware of Cullen's legal action in Los Angeles, first reported on Tuesday. \"With uncertainty surrounding the creative vision of the version of the film scheduled to be screened on September 18th, we feel it is only appropriate that we remove this film,\" TIFF said in a statement. The producers of the film called the decision \"ill-considered\". \"We have always loved launching our films here, but feel that in this particular case there has been an ill-considered decision made against our rights,\" their statement read. The thriller centres on a clairvoyant, played by Amber Heard, who is aware of the time and place of her death, but does not know the perpetrator - one of two strikingly different suitors. It is narrated by Billy Bob Thornton's character - an author who has moved to London to try to overcome his writer's block - who is determined to intercept the killer. Depp has a cameo role in the film. Cullen - who wants his name removed from the film - claims producers \"in creating their own version of the film... have interjected scenes and footage that are highly offensive and neither appear in the script nor are a part of the film that [he] was asked to direct,'' according to legal papers. The 17-page filing from Cullen and his Motion Theory company cites \"9/11 jumpers edited against pornography, as well as juxtaposing the holiest city in Islam against mind-control\" among the offensive imagery added by producers. Along with the allegations about content, the legal action states producers failed to properly finance the film and haven't properly paid Cullen for his work and expenses, which total more than $1m (£640,000). 'Director's Cut' \"Sadly, Mathew can't deal with the fact that he does not control the final cut of the movie,'' said the statement released by publicist Maxine Leonard, on behalf of the producers. \"He was given two deadlines to deliver a 'director's cut' and missed both deadlines. His guild has rules for withdrawing his name from the picture, and he missed those deadlines.'' Cullen argues that he was prevented from completing the director's cut. Best known as a director of music videos, London Fields marks his debut feature film. Hanley, whose wife Roberta wrote the screenplay to London Fields, has produced films including Spring Breakers and the critically acclaimed American Psycho. London Fields was given a press screening at Toronto before the decision to remove it from the line-up. The Independent gave the film a one-star review calling it \"car-crash film-making\". Variety said Cullen \"genuinely deserves credit\", but added \"sometimes you have to try to adapt a seemingly unadaptable book just to learn how truly unadaptable it is\".",

The marathon effort was a test of their professionalism, skill and endurance. But staff were rewarded with the knowledge that half a dozen people no longer require dialysis thanks to their efforts. Working in three teams of eight, consultants, anaesthetists and nurses worked around the clock from Monday afternoon until the early hours of Wednesday, stopping only to grab a few hours sleep and a bite to eat before the next life-saving procedures. \"It's not unusual to have more than one transplant on the go, but we usually don't get anywhere near that number over that period of time,\" said Dr Mike Stephens, a transplant surgeon for 14 years. \"Offers started coming through to the unit on Sunday evening and then just kept coming through. It was very uncommon. \"Part of being a surgeon is learning how to manage tiredness and know your limits so you ask the next person to take over.\" Time is of the essence when it comes to organ donation. The aim is to complete transplant within 15 hours of retrieval, otherwise the health and function of the organ ticks away with the time. Then there is the battle for theatre space. \"We always have more than one surgeon on call at any time because it would be a disaster if we had a perfectly good organ but couldn't do the transplant because we didn't have the staff,\" explained Dr Stephens. \"In Cardiff, we share the two operating theatres with all the other emergency procedures, so that's often a challenge.\" Each procedure - to re-attach the kidney to the artery, blood vessels and ureter - takes less than four hours, though surgeons are only too aware of the consequences of a mistake. \"We had two teams in Cardiff and one on the road doing the organ retrieval. It gets complicated trying to join it all up. The operation itself is actually the simple part,\" Dr Stephens added. \"The challenge is making the judgement on suitability. There's always a risk and putting a kidney in someone that won't work can cause long-term harm and actually make it more difficult for another transplant in the future.\" 'Best job in the world' Staff could have been forgiven for enjoying a moment to celebrate their tireless work. However there was no time to toast their efforts as most were back in work the following day. \"It's the best job in the world. I can't imagine there's another profession that's more rewarding than a transplant surgeon,\" said Dr Stephens. \"We didn't have time to celebrate, but seeing the patients recovering on the ward was reward enough. It was fantastic.\" Since 2015, adults in Wales are presumed to have consented to organ donation unless they have opted out, leading to an increase of people on the organ donor register. \"Other areas of the UK are looking at Wales with envious eyes,\" said Dr Stephens. \"The change of law in Wales has made a difference. We have the highest rates consent in the UK, having previously had the lowest.\"",

As a minority government, the SNP needs help from at least one other party. The Budget (Scotland) (No.4) Bill could continue through parliament if one party abstains allowing more talks. The final vote, by which a compromise must be reached, is next week. In the last three years the SNP has struck a deal with the Greens before the first vote as other parties ruled themselves out. But every party has said it would be willing to work with the government this year. What else is happening at Holyrood this week? Tuesday - period poverty A bill to make period products available free of charge is likely to pass its first vote after the Scottish government's U-turn last week. Labour MSP Monica Lennon introduced the Period Products (Free Provision) Bill in a bid to tackle period poverty. Communities Secretary Aileen Campbell previously told MSPs that \"legislation is not required\" as the government has already rolled out a scheme to provide free products. Now the SNP will support the bill but it is expected to bring amendments to allay \"significant\" concerns. A topical question on declining pupil exam performance, a brief debate on \"Short money\" for opposition parties and a member's debate on a campaign to end child restraint in schools are also scheduled for Tuesday afternoon. In the morning, the Committee on Climate Change (CCC) will discuss its call for Scotland to \"walk the talk\" ahead of the climate summit in Glasgow in November. The environment committee will discuss progress on emissions targets, land use and net-zero planning. In addition, the health committee will be discussing the budget with the health secretary. MSPs will quiz Jeane Freeman on delayed discharge, social and primary care, and the performance of health boards following several being placed on special measures. Wednesday - police funding The Scottish Tories will use debate time on Wednesday to call for a \"fair funding settlement\" for Police Scotland. It follows the Scottish Police Authority warning of an \"unsustainable\" deficit of £49m, despite being allocated an additional £37m in the budget. Specific issues on funding for vehicles, buildings and IT infrastructure have been highlighted, and the Scottish Tories have raised concerns about the impact on police morale. But the Scottish government has insisted the annual budget has increased, comparing this with falling police numbers in England. Culture and education ministers are quizzed at portfolio questions ahead of this. The member's business debate is scheduled to be on the National Parent Forum but this may change following the promotion of Jenny Gilruth, who was set to lead it. The local government committee continues its inquiry into building regulations and fire safety in the morning. MSPs will focus on difficulties of verifying whether cladding used on homes meets post-Grenfell safety standards. Thursday - police watchdog MSPs on the public audit committee will consider the annual report on the Scottish Police Authority, which revealed an £36m overspend and a payment of £125,000 to former chair Susan Deacon. Ms Deacon, who resigned in December saying the system was \"fundamentally flawed\", will be giving evidence alongside former colleagues. When she was appointed in December 2017 her salary was £76,000, but the Scottish government later asked the former health minister to spend 20 days a month in the role as opposed to 12. Chief Constable Iain Livingstone will also appear before the committee. The Audit Scotland report found £18.9m of the overspend was due to additional police officer and staff costs. Nicola Sturgeon will be quizzed by opposition leaders and party backbenchers at midday. This will be followed by a member's business on Scottish war memorials.",

Major producers like Spain, Italy and France had called for more aid at an emergency meeting on Tuesday. They argued that the EU should pay compensation equivalent to 100% of the growers' lost income. That was ruled out by EU Agriculture Commissioner Dacian Ciolos. He said the 210m-euro figure represented about 50% of the average value of the affected vegetables. The aid will go to producers of cucumbers, lettuce, tomatoes, courgettes and peppers. Hardest hit are fresh vegetable exporters in Spain. There is much anger that Germany initially blamed Spanish cucumbers for the new bug that has put a huge strain on Germany's health service. The EU farmers' union Copa-Cogeca puts the Spanish losses at about 200m euros a week. Earnings from Spanish fresh fruit and vegetable exports to Germany were put at 2bn euros in 2010. In the E. coli crisis Italy is in second place for growers' losses, estimated at 100m euros a week, followed by the Netherlands (50m euros a week). Compensation claims The spread of the toxic intestinal bacteria has left 24 dead - nearly all in Germany - and infected 2,400, of whom hundreds are suffering a potentially fatal complication that attacks the kidneys. The source remains a mystery. After cucumbers the suspicion fell on bean sprouts, but tests proved negative. A senior Copa-Cogeca official, Albert Jan Maat from the Netherlands, said that in the worst-hit parts of the EU last week all the cucumbers produced were destroyed because sales and prices had plummeted. After the German health warning about cucumbers, which later proved mistaken, cucumber sales in Germany collapsed by 70%, the German Agricultural Market Information Company (AMI) reports. The sales drop for lettuce was about 60% and for tomatoes 47%, AMI says. Even smaller producing countries are reporting significant losses from the crisis. Romanian officials say their country's cucumber producers are losing about 100,000 euros daily. Domestic sales of cucumbers have slumped by 70%. Romania exports cucumbers to Germany and the Czech Republic. In the past two weeks in Austria prices of fresh vegetables have collapsed by up to 70%. Austria's biggest producer of vegetables, LGV, has had to destroy at least 700,000 cucumbers - a loss of nearly 350,000 euros, the state broadcaster ORF reports.",

But after seeing vast expanses of cleared land, she began painting the destruction from her imagination. Miss Green said donating £9,000 to buy land near Rio de Janeiro was \"tiny in the grand scale of things, but it's what I could do\". The Ipswich-born artist, a pupil of Maggi Hambling, developed a fascination with rainforests after moving to Australia as a child. Later, she returned to Suffolk, but found living in London and Brighton \"uninspiring\" as a painter. Seeking a change, she searched the internet for artist residencies that would get her back in touch with nature. That rural idyll ended up being a treehouse with no electricity, perched high above rainforest in central Brazil. The nearest village was 11 miles (18km) away. \"There's no wifi, no distractions, no-one to talk to,\" she said. \"There was a bucket, that's it.\" The canopy of the rainforest provided the perfect inspiration to paint watercolour images of the wide range of flora and fauna. \"I was overwhelmed by the mystery and beauty of the place,\" she said. It presented its challenges: one brush with a caterpillar resulted in her being rushed to hospital as her veins turned black. But it was seeing the aftermath of deforestation in Brazil, and on visits to Sri Lanka and New Zealand, which had a lasting impact on Miss Green. \"I remember driving through these palm plantations and it would take literally seven hours to get through them. \"I have no idea how many hundreds of kilometres that is, but it's terrifying and very real.\" In Borneo she saw wild orangutan, monkeys, elephants and pythons \"bursting out on the banks\". \"I naively thought it was fantastic,\" she said, \"until the local guide explained this was only due to the encroaching palm plantations forcing them to the water's edge\". \"There was literally nowhere else for them to go.\" Miss Green said she became \"obsessed\" with the issue. \"I've never actually seen a forest fire,\" she said. \"But I started to focus on the deforestation. It's a lot bleaker than what I set out to do, but you can't get away from it.\" \"To know now how fragile and threatened it is, is deeply alarming and very frightening.\" The land bought by the proceeds from her sold-out exhibition in London will be looked after by REGUA, a Brazilian NGO [non-governmental organisation], which said in the past 20 years it had planted more than 500,000 trees. It said Miss Green's \"generous\" donation had bought farmland which would now be preserved as rainforest. \"I hope the plot remains untouched and unharmed, and that it can continue to provide a home for the wildlife and trees that live within it,\" Miss Green said. Miss Green is back in Suffolk, and continues to paint, but plans to travel again soon to \"document the devastation that's going on\". \"I feel like I should go spend time in areas that have been burnt,\" she said. \"I've always been passionate about the environment and this is the little thing I can do. \"The world's governments need to deal with this now.

Hindu mythology and religion-based theories have increasingly become part of the Indian Science Congress agenda. But experts said remarks at this year's summit were especially ludicrous. The 106th Indian Science Congress, which was inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, runs from 3-7 January. The head of a southern Indian university cited an old Hindu text as proof that stem cell research was discovered in India thousands of years ago. G Nageshwar Rao, vice chancellor of Andhra University, also said a demon king from the Hindu religious epic, Ramayana, had 24 types of aircraft and a network of landing strips in modern day Sri Lanka. Another scientist from a university in the southern state of Tamil Nadu told conference attendees that Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein were both wrong and that gravitational waves should be renamed \"Narendra Modi Waves\". Dr KJ Krishnan reportedly said Newton failed to \"understand gravitational repulsive forces\" and Einstein's theories were \"misleading\". Critics said that while ancient texts should be read and enjoyed - it was nonsense to suggest they represented science. The Indian Scientific Congress Association expressed \"serious concern\" at the remarks. \"We don't subscribe to their views and distance ourselves from their comments. This is unfortunate,\" Premendu P Mathur, general secretary of Indian Scientific Congress Association, told the AFP news agency. \"There is a serious concern about such kind of utterances by responsible people.\" Pseudoscience moves from fringe to the mainstream Analysis by Soutik Biswas, BBC News, Delhi India has a mixed relationship with science. On the one hand, it has a rich tradition of outstanding scientists - the Higgs boson particle, for example, is named partly after an Indian physicist and Einstein's contemporary, Satyendra Nath Bose. Particle physicist Ashoke Sen, meanwhile, is the recipient of Fundamental Physics Prize, the world's most lucrative academic award. But it also has a long tradition of replacing science with myths, leading to a fringe culture of pseudoscience. Many believe under Narendra Modi's Hindu nationalist BJP party, pseudoscience has moved from the fringe to the mainstream. Mr Modi himself set the tone in 2014 with his outlandish claim that cosmetic surgery was practised in India thousands of years ago. Many of his ministers followed suit with similar claims. India's top science summit also started inviting academics with Hindu nationalist leanings who have made equally bizarre claims. Such claims usually hark back to an imagined glorious Hindu past to bolster religious nationalism. The BJP and its hard line allies have for a long time mixed mythology and religion to bolster political Hinduism and nationalism. Adding science to the mix, say critics, will only help propagate quack science and erode scientific temper. Also, as economist Kaushik Basu says: \"For a nation to progress it is important for people to spend time on science, mathematics and literature instead of spending time showing that 5,000 years ago their ancestors did science, mathematics and literature.\" Other claims made by Indian politicians and scientists:",

She was speaking during an assembly debate on Tuesday. The motion called for an immediate end to licensing for oil and gas exploration, reflecting the broad position across the UK and Ireland. The cross-party motion was passed unanimously. Research contract Mrs Dodds said the approach to her department was made after Tamboran's fracking plan and a separate conventional exploration proposal went through public consultation. It resulted in 5,700 responses. \"Following its own review of the responses received, one of the applicant companies, Tamboran Resources UK Ltd, made a request to the department to revise its application,\" she said. \"The proposed revision will remove the need for fracking, very much a direct result of the strength of opposition to this controversial technique, highlighted by the respondents to the consultation process.\" Tamboran's new proposal is now being considered; one of two licence applications currently with the department. But the minister said she would continue to award a £75,000 contract for research into the implications of oil and gas exploration, using both conventional drilling and fracking. 'Solid information' Environmentalists had criticised the use of public money for the purpose. The process was delayed following a complaint that the research would not address concerns about public health.

Replacing the existing steam-hauled carriages, they had significant improvements - automatic sliding doors, higher speeds and increased frequency. This last remaining 502 was saved from the scrapyard in 1980, after running its final service on Merseyrail. In 2009, the Friends of the 502 group acquired it from the National Railway Museum when they found out there was no room to store it. The group said it was a \"shame to see it go to scrap\" so they took it over and stored it at a site in Tebay, Cumbria. They now hope to restore it to \"almost original condition\". Peeled paint Currently residing on the side of the M6, with broken windows and peeled paint, it will move to a new home in Burscough, Lancashire, where it is to be restored. Duncan Reed, from Friends of the 502, said: \"We are hoping to bring it back to a state where we can run it on the Merseyrail network actually hauling passengers. \"It will take a while and quite a few thousand pounds, but if we aim high, then that's the way to go.\" After 40 years of service, the 502 was moved to a new route on the Merseyrail, which took its toll on the electric vehicle. The steep gradients on the line and increased use proved too difficult for the train and it was withdrawn from service on 1 September 1980. However, one of the units was preserved in case it could run again in the future, and it went on display at Steamport railway centre in Southport. In 1997 when the museum closed, the train then moved to Kineton where it was stored outside. It was this time spent outside that led to its deterioration through corrosion. Mr Reed said: \"I think it is not just part of Merseyside's history, but also, it's the forerunner of modern train design so it seems like an important unit historically. \"We're hoping to get it restored to almost original condition.\" Large sections of its bodywork will be replaced, together with a full re-wire, refurbishment of all the interior woodwork and seats and work on the wheels, bogies and traction motors. The group say the full restoration is expected to take \"a few years\".",

The \"joke\" prompted a huge backlash, particularly on social media. Maher said he used the slur in the \"banter of a live moment\". \"The word was offensive and I regret saying it and am very sorry,\" he said in a statement released the next day. The controversy arose during a segment of the show when Maher was interviewing the Republican Senator Ben Sasse. This story contains language that readers may find offensive. When Maher said he should visit Nebraska more, the senator quipped: \"You're welcome - we'd love to have you work in the fields with us.\" \"Work in the fields?\" Maher replied. \"Senator, I'm a house nigger,\" he said. The comedian immediately backpedalled as the remark was met with a muted response from the audience. \"No, it's... it's a joke,\" he said, turning to the crowd. The controversy quickly became a national trending topic on social media in the United States. The interview continued without further interruption, but Senator Sasse later tweeted that he wished he'd been \"quick enough\" to challenge Maher. \"Free speech comes with a responsibility to speak up when folks use that word. Me just cringing last night wasn't good enough,\" he said. Maher's network, HBO, also criticised his \"joke\" as \"completely inexcusable and tasteless,\" and said the network would edit it out from re-runs of the show. Later, Maher released a statement to the press. \"Friday nights are always my worst night of sleep because I'm up reflecting on the things I should or shouldn't have said on my live show,\" he said. \"Last night was a particularly long night as I regret the word I used in the banter of a live moment. The word was offensive and I regret saying it and am very sorry.\" In a 2015 interview with Variety magazine, Maher acknowledged the risk he takes in going live, rather than pre-recording like some of his television rivals. \"Live on tape means 'not live,' of course. It was live at some point. The difference with our show is it is 'live' live,\" he said. \"As I'm saying it, you are seeing it. It does add an extra, kind of tightrope element to it, because you can't take anything back or editorially fudge it. It is what it is.\"",

            "input": "By Adam WhittyBBC News But it has done more for the nation - and indeed the world - than might first be apparent. To celebrate the 80th anniversary of this much maligned Berkshire town receiving its Royal Charter, BBC News has examined the debt of gratitude we all owe Slough. The Mars Bar Ah, I hear you say, but Mars is an American company. You would be right, but the bar that bears the name of its owner and a confectionery empire was actually born in Berkshire. Founder Frank Mars gave his son Forrest the money to set up his own chocolate business in the UK in 1932, and the younger Mars ended up in Slough, where he came up with the nougat and caramel-filled treat. That started the Mars company as we know it. The firm is still in Slough to this day, and developed the Twix, Maltesers, Topic and Starburst (formerly Opal Fruits) brands here. Snooker You might already know that the game of snooker was invented by a young officer in the British army posted to India more than 140 years ago. But did you realise the man behind the sport was a Slough native? Neville Chamberlain (not that one) was born in Upton Park in 1856, and created snooker by combining two forms of pocket billiards games. The name is thought to be derived from army slang for a new cadet - a \"snooker\" - perhaps in reference to the rawness of play by one of Chamberlain's fellow officers. The zebra crossing The Road Research Laboratory was set up in the Langley area of the town in 1946, and was tasked with creating a pedestrian crossing with road markings that were visible in all conditions. The \"Slough Experiment\" began, during which all kinds of ways of getting from one side of the road to the other were tested across the town, with laboratory boffins eventually settling on the zebra crossing. The sad news for any road-crossing spotters out there is that the original, created in 1951, is no longer in existence as the area has since been pedestrianised. Thunderbirds While the tropical island setting for Thunderbirds, boasting palm trees and blue seas, was clearly not inspired by the Berkshire town, the popular 1960s puppet programme was made on Slough Trading Estate. Co-creator of the show, the television and film producer Gerry Anderson, moved to Slough in 1959, and his AP films company went on to make a series of other puppet-based children's programmes, including Captain Scarlet, Stingray, Supercar and Joe 90. The wheelie bin According to Biffa, the UK's leading waste management company, the wheelie bin was invented in Slough by a moulding company in 1968 to move waste around its factory. The story goes that a health inspector from Slough Borough Council spotted the bins and recognised that one of the features of their design was the ability to prevent back injury. He supposedly passed the idea on, but it sat in a filing cabinet for 20 years until wheelie bins - ahem - started being rolled out across the country in the 1980s. The first female scientist to be paid The pioneering astronomer Caroline Herschel moved to Slough in 1786, having been born in Germany 36 years previously. In a distinguished career, Herschel discovered eight comets, rediscovered another and assembled a catalogue of 560 previously unrecorded stars. She was also the first woman to be paid for her contribution to science. Herschel was awarded an annual salary of £50 by King George III in 1796 for her role as assistant to her brother, who by then had become Sir William Herschel. The Ford GT40 Famous for winning the Le Mans 24-hour race four times in a row between 1966 and 1969, the Ford GT40 is one of the most iconic racing cars. The GT40 was developed and assembled in humble Slough, on the town's trading estate, on its way to motorsport immortality. Slough was also the base for the McLaren racing team from 1965, and Sir Stirling Moss started his racing career here, driving (completely illegally) around the town's housing estates. Pioneering politicians Slough has the honour of having had both the first black female mayor in the country, and the first turban-wearing Sikh MP. Lydia Simmons moved to Slough at the age of 17 from Montserrat in the Caribbean, and served as a councillor before becoming mayor in 1984. Tanmanjeet Singh \"Tan\" Dhesi broke similar political ground, having been elected at the 2017 general election as the Labour MP for Slough.

This growth was better than expected. The Institute of Directors said the return to expansion was good news \"but not enough to pop the champagne corks\". The British Chambers of Commerce (BCC) said work now had to be done to ensure the recovery was sustained. John Longworth, director general of the BCC, said: \"This news will give many businesses the confidence to invest. But the government still has work to do to ensure than an economic recovery is sustainable. \"Ministers must listen to calls from businesses to help them get the finance they need, and support to find new international markets for their products and services.\" Andrew Smith, chief economist at accountancy group KPMG, said the UK economy still looked \"pretty flat\". He added: \"It's not exactly a recession, but not exactly a recovery either. \"While technically we are now out of the double-dip recession, it would be unfortunate if attention was distracted away from the big picture. \"GDP is still some 4% below its pre-recession peak, and with lingering domestic headwinds, the threat of an escalation of the crisis in the eurozone, and only slow progress in rebalancing the economy, the recovery is set to remain fragile.\" The Office for National Statistics said that Olympic ticket sales had added 0.2 percentage points to the figures. The BBC's economics editor Stephanie Flanders said: \"The positive 'surprise' in these figures is largely to be found in the service sector, which is estimated to have grown by 1.3% in the third quarter, after shrinking by 0.1% in the three months before.\" The data also exceeded expectations from economists, who had predicted an increase of 0.6% in the quarter. Commerzbank economist Peter Dixon said the Olympic games was likely responsible for half the economic growth seen during the three months. He added: \"If you look at most of the other evidence, it's consistent with an economy that is growing relatively slowly. So a sluggish economy in the wake of domestic problems and whatever else is happening in the eurozone.\" The markets gave the growth data a muted response, with the main UK share index, the FTSE 100, ending the day up just 0.3 points. 'Right track' The economy had been in recession for the previous nine months and has still not recovered the levels of output seen before the financial crisis in 2008. The ONS said that beyond the effect of ticket sales, it was hard to put an exact figure on the Olympic effect, although it cited increased hotel and restaurant activity in London as well as strength from employment agencies. The GDP figures were also enhanced by comparison with the previous three months, because the second quarter had an extra public holiday as part of the Diamond Jubilee celebrations in June, as well as unusually bad weather, which reduced growth. \"There is still a long way to go, but these figures show we are on the right track,\" said Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne. \"Yesterday's weak data from the eurozone were a reminder that we still face many economic challenges at home and abroad.\" Shadow chancellor Ed Balls praised the news but said that the figures \"show that underlying growth remains weak\". \"A one-off boost from the Olympics is welcome,\" he said. \"But it is no substitute for a plan to secure and sustain the strong recovery that Britain desperately needs if we are to create jobs, get the deficit down and make people better off.\" The data is a preliminary estimate from the ONS, meaning that the third-quarter figures could be revised higher or lower. \"While the news is positive, the estimate must be put in context,\" said David Kern, chief economist at the British Chambers of Commerce. \"The 1% GDP figure for the third quarter is affected by distortions in the second quarter due to the Jubilee and Olympic ticket sales. Compared to a year earlier, the figures show that the economy is stagnant.\" The ONS said that the economy had contracted by 6.4% between the start of 2008 and the middle of 2009, and had since recovered about half of that output. The level of output in the third quarter of 2012 was almost exactly the same as it had been in the third quarter of 2011.",

Peter Johnston, director of BBC NI, said investment in commissioning had enabled the corporation \"to broaden the ambition and to deepen our public purpose to inform, educate and entertain our audiences\". \"As well as factual content such as Top Table and True North, we've been able to invest in a new series of the timely comedy series Soft Border Patrol and to help develop new drama talent in front of and behind the camera through our pilot New Perspectives initiative,\" he said. \"We are committed to bringing audiences the best content and we do that by investing in independent production companies, programme makers and our creative partners within the industry.\" In Counsel, Valene Kane plays the part of a female barrister who must balance representing a new young client with supporting her high-profile husband amid a job promotion and an impending scandal. Susan Lynch features in another hour-long drama, Ups and Downs, which follows a young man with Down's syndrome who goes on an adventure to Belfast with his younger sister. Both dramas are supported by Northern Ireland Screen. Elsewhere, comedian Colin Murphy will look back anxiously on a world he was once told to worry about in the new series Colin Murphy's Panic Room.

However, Apple had insisted that it had acquired the worldwide rights for the name in 2009. A court in Guangdong had asked the two firms to try to reach a settlement. \"The iPad dispute resolution is ended,\" the Guangdong High People's Court said in a statement. \"Apple Inc. has transferred $60m to the account of the Guangdong High Court as requested in the mediation letter.\" Rights to China Apple had bought the global rights to the \"iPad\" from Proview's Taiwanese affiliate for $55,000 (£35,000). However, the Chinese firm had argued that its affiliate did not have the rights to sell the iPad name rights for China, which is one of the fastest-growing markets for Apple's products. The dispute between the two firms resulted in Apple's iPads being pulled off the shelves in some parts of China. Proview had even sought a ban on the sales of the product in Shanghai as part of the dispute, a move that was rejected by the courts. After the court announced the settlement on Monday, Proview confirmed to the BBC that the firm had agreed to the settlement. \"The case is settled, both sides are satisfied with the agreement,\" Ma Dongxiao, a lawyer from Shenzhen Grandall Law Firm, which is handling Proview's case told the BBC. Sensible move China is one of the biggest markets for Apple's products and demand for its gadgets has been increasing steadily in the country. However, it is starting to face increasing competition from rivals such as Samsung as they look to tap into the lucrative Chinese market. Analysts said that one of the key reasons behind Apple agreeing to settle the naming dispute is that firm may not have wanted its sales in the country to be disrupted and as a result lose some of its market share to competitors. \"When Apple is on the receiving end of a litigation, especially in China, it is a sensible move for them to settle it and move on,\" Andrew Milroy of Frost & Sullivan told the BBC. \"That would help minimise the disruption to the Apple juggernaut.\" End of the road? The dispute between the two firms over the rights to \"iPad\" name was not limited to China. Proview had also lodged a case against Apple in the US. It had accused Apple of deceiving it into selling the rights to the name by setting up a company, IP Application Development Ltd (IPADL) in the UK. It claimed that Apple said the trademark was \"an abbreviation for the company name\". However, that case was dismissed by the court earlier this year. Analysts said that with the two firms agreeing to a settlement in China, it was unlikely that Proview would take any further action against Apple.",

Friend Colin Griffiths, a part-time taxi driver, doesn't think it will be viable to keep bars open if they don't sell food. But at a nearby table, two more customers believe stopping alcohol sales on the premises, and shutting early, could help reduce the spread of Covid-19, as \"everyone mixes when they have had a few drinks\". Their comments come after First Minister Mark Drakeford said the new rules would tackle a rise in coronavirus cases. Mr Ackerman, from Northop, near Mold, said: \"Are they doing this because of Christmas parties in pubs? It does not seem to make sense.\" He thinks more people are at risk of catching coronavirus in other public places with high footfall, like supermarkets, and said pubs have become quieter during the pandemic. \"A lot of the older ones have been staying away. Maybe they don't think it's safe. But you are more likely to catch something in the supermarket,\" he added. Mr Griffiths, from rural Graianrhyd, in Denbighshire, said: \"There are a few pubs in Mold that don't sell food. It won't be viable to keep it open.\" He was concerned there could be a \"free-for-all over Christmas\" with people mixing at home amid UK-wide rules over the festive period which allow up to three households to meet. \"I can see another lockdown. We will be back to this situation in January,\" he said. Before lunch time, the tables looked busy with customers - fewer than four to a table to comply with regulations - using disposable menus and some seated between safety screens - at the bar run by JD Wetherspoon. The Gold Cape takes its name from a Bronze Age artefact unearthed in the town more than 180 years ago by quarrymen. Brenda Milner, from Rossett, near Wrexham, who has relatives working in the health service, said she supported the new rules: \"If you want this virus to go you would give everything up. \"Everyone gets mixing when they have had a few drinks.\" Friend Eileen Dulson, from Wrexham, agreed: \"I want them to get the numbers dying in the hospital down. It's frightening.\" Her husband Ron said: \"I don't think everybody understands the rules. Wales is different from England. It would make it more understandable if the same rules apply.\" Sitting beneath the pub's wall-mounted big screen TV, David Maher, 48, from Mold, called the alcohol rules a \"nightmare\" for drinkers who want to sit in. He and partner Jane Parker, 50, questioned whether there should be regional differences in Covid rules according to the number of cases in an area, similar to the tier system over the border. \"Everyone has been careful in Mold. Every shop I have been in there are people in masks,\" he said. The couple agreed the pub was a \"safe\" place to socialise and staff had been \"brilliant\" providing table service to customers. \"Sometimes you just want to get out of the house,\" said Ms Parker. Mold student Ella Dokk-Olsen, 16, questioned the reason behind the 18:00 closing time, saying \"coronavirus doesn't know the time\". She is concerned about people's mental health, saying closing bars reduced people's ability to socialise in a safe place. Fellow sixth former Amelia Cole-Jones, also 16, said closing at 18:00 could \"drive people into houses\" to mix. \"In a pub the environment is safer, especially over Christmas when people want to meet up,\" she said.

            "input": "He described the measures, which came into effect overnight, as \"psychological warfare\" which aimed to \"sow division among Iranians\". The sanctions take aim at various sectors, with further punitive action planned against Iran's oil trade. The European Union has spoken out against the measures, vowing to protect firms doing \"legitimate business\". It follows the US withdrawal from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, also known as the Iran nuclear deal, earlier this year. The deal, negotiated during the presidency of Barack Obama, saw Iran limit its controversial nuclear activities in exchange for sanctions relief. US President Donald Trump says the deal is \"one-sided\" and he believes renewed economic pressure will force Iran to agree to a new deal and end its \"malign\" activities. What are the sanctions? Mr Trump signed an executive order which brought sanctions back into place at 00:01 EDT (04:01 GMT) on Tuesday. They target: A second phase is planned to come back into effect on 5 November which will have implications for Iran's energy and shipping sectors, petroleum trading and transactions by foreign financial institutions with the Central Bank of Iran. Why is the US implementing them? The imposing of sanctions follows Mr Trump's withdrawal from the 2015 deal earlier this year. Mr Trump had long spoken out against the agreement, labelling it \"disastrous\" and the \"worst deal I've ever seen\". Only the US has withdrawn, with other signatories remaining committed to the original agreement. Mr Trump says Iran faces a choice to \"either change its threatening, destabilising behaviour and reintegrate with the global economy, or continue down a path of economic isolation\". \"I remain open to reaching a more comprehensive deal that addresses the full range of the regime's malign activities, including its ballistic missile programme and its support for terrorism,\" Mr Trump said on Monday. What has the reaction been? Mr Rouhani said the US government had \"turned their back on diplomacy\" with the action. \"They want to launch psychological warfare against the Iranian nation.\" Mr Rouhani said. \"Negotiations with sanctions doesn't make sense. We are always in favour of diplomacy and talks... but talks need honesty,\" He also accused the Trump administration of using Iran as domestic political leverage ahead of November's midterm elections in the United States. The foreign ministers of Germany, the UK and France released a statement on Monday that said the nuclear deal remained \"crucial\" to global security. They also unveiled a \"blocking statute\" which is intended to protect European firms doing business with Iran despite the new US sanctions. Alistair Burt, the UK's minister of state for the Middle East, told the BBC: \"If a company fears legal action taken against it and enforcement action taken against it by an entity in response to American sanctions, then that company can be protected as far as EU legislation is concerned.\" However, German car and lorry maker Daimler, a major firm which announced a joint venture in Iran last year, confirmed this week that it has now ceased activities in the country. The US had previously rejected calls to offer exemptions, with Mr Trump vowing \"severe consequences\" against firms and individuals who continued to trade with Iran. An anonymous senior US official said that the administration was \"not particularly concerned\" by EU protection efforts. How will Iran's economy be affected? Iran has seen unrest since last December over a poorly-performing economy. Rising food prices, unemployment and even poor water supplies have led to protests in a number of cities. Demonstrations in Tehran in June were said to be the capital's biggest since 2012. How much they are tied to the new US sanctions policy is hard to determine, but one definite link is the effect on Iran's currency. It lost around half of its value since Mr Trump announced the US withdrawal from the nuclear deal. Iran acted to ease its foreign exchange rules on Sunday and the rial has since strengthened by 20%. Iranians have been hoarding gold as a safeguard, pushing it to a record high in Tehran. The sanctions may bite hardest in November, when the US blocks Iranian oil sales. This could halt about half of Iran's exports of some two million barrels a day, although Iran may look to China and Russia to keep its industry afloat. The International Monetary Fund said in March that Iran's net official reserves could decline this year to $97.8bn, which would finance about 13 months of imports. And analysts at BMI Research say Iran's economy could contract by 4.3% in 2019. However, Barbara Slavin, of the Future of Iran Initiative at the Atlantic Council, told the Wall Street Journal that when sanctions hit hard, it often means ordinary people become \"totally dependent\" on their government and so sanctions do not tend to topple regimes.",

            "input": "By Genevieve HassanBBC News entertainment reporter, in Malmo The Eurovision song contest has been running since 1956 and in that time, acts from around Europe have been singing their hearts out in the hope of winning the trophy. Some have gone on to be international stars, while others have faded into obscurity. Here we take a look at some of the winners over the years and what they have been up to since. 1950 - 1959 1956 - Lys Assia (Switzerland) Lys was the very first Eurovision winner when it was held in Lugano, Switzerland. She won with her song Refrain and went on to compete in the contest for the next two years, finishing eighth and second respectively. She entered a song into the Swiss national selection for the 2012 contest, but didn't qualify. She continued with her singing career and released her last album in 2008. She is considered Eurovision royalty and regularly appears at the contest as a guest of honour. 1959 - Teddy Scholten (The Netherlands) Teddy won the contest for the Netherlands for the second time in four years with the song Een Beetje. She had a career in both television and music and released dozens of records through to the 1960s. But she gave up showbiz to work as a public relations officer for the Dutch Red Cross. She died last year aged 83. 1960 - Jacqueline Boyer (France) Jacqueline gave France its second Eurovision win with her song, Tom Pillibi. As well as being a singer, she also became an actress and appeared in several films and TV series, enjoying a career in Germany as well as France. She continues to record music today. 1964 - Gigliola Cinquetti (Italy) Italy scored its first win with Gigliola's Non Ho L'eta (This is My Prayer) aged 16. The song became a European hit and charted in the UK at number 17. She competed again in 1974 with her song, Go (Before You Break My Heart), and finished second, losing out to Abba's Waterloo. She went on to co-host the contest in 1991 when it was staged in Rome. In the 1990s she quit the music industry and became a journalist. She currently hosts the current affairs programme Italia Rai. 1967 - Sandie Shaw (United Kingdom) Sandie Shaw gave the UK its first Eurovision victory with her famous barefoot rendition of Puppet On A String. With a number of hits to her name before the contest, she was an ideal choice having recorded many of her songs in French, Spanish, German and Italian. As one of the most successful British singers of the 1960s, she was absent from the music scene in the 1970s and returned to the spotlight with a cover of The Smiths' song Hand In Glove. She disappeared again until 2010, when she announced she had started recording music again. However, last month in an interview with The Telegraph she said she was retiring for good. 1970 - Dana (Ireland) Dana's All Kinds of Everything was a hit around the world after becoming Ireland's first winner. She went on to release more than 30 albums, many with a strong Christian focus. She also pursued a political career, coming third in the Irish presidential election in 1997. In 1999, she was elected to the European Parliament but lost her seat in 2004. Showbusiness came calling again however, and in recent years she has appeared on celebrity dance show Celebrity Jigs 'n' Reels and been a judge on The All Ireland Talent Show. 1972 - Vicky Leandros (Luxembourg) Greek singer Vicky won for Luxembourg with Apres Toi after coming fourth for the country in 1967. The song gave her success in Europe, North America and Asia. More recently, she was elected a councillor in Piraeus in Greece and subsequently became the deputy mayor. She resigned in 2008 and has continued with her music career performing all over Europe. Her career as a Eurovision singer has also continued, taking part in the 2006 German final with the song, Don't Break My Heart. She is still recording and touring today. 1974 - ABBA (Sweden) Probably Eurovision's most famous and successful winners, Abba have sold millions of records thanks to their hit Waterloo. They topped the charts until the early 1980s when they split up, with hits including Mamma Mia, Dancing Queen and Money Money Money. Members Benny Andersson and Bjorn Ulvaeus continued to work and record together, including writing the musical Chess. Anni-Frid Lyngstad embarked on a solo career and Agnetha Faltskog' shied away from the spotlight, although she has recently returned to the music scene with a new album. A musical based on their hits, a successful box office film and a museum dedicated to the group have cemented them firmly in Eurovision history. 1981 - Bucks Fizz (United Kingdom) Possibly the UK's most popular Eurovision entry, Bucks Fizz beat Germany by four points with Making Your Mind Up. Famous for its dance routine which included ripping the skirts off Cheryl Baker and Jay Aston, the song was a hit around Europe, Australia and New Zealand. They scored several more chart hits following the contest, but tragedy struck the band in 1984 when their coach crashed while on tour, badly injuring them. After several line-up changes and legal disputes over ownership of the group's name, there are now two versions of the group - one which features Bobby G, and the other with Mike Nolan, Cheryl and Jay - both of which are currently still performing and touring. 1988 - Celine Dion (Switzerland) Celine Dion has gone on to become one of the most successful female singers in the world since winning Eurovision for Switzerland with the song Ne Partez Pas Sans Moi. It wasn't until 1991 that she found more international fame with the theme to Disney film Beauty and the Beast and then power ballads The Power Of Love, Think Twice and the mega-selling theme to Titanic, My Heart Will Go On followed. She took a short career break to start a family and came back with a five-year residency in Las Vegas. She has sold in excess of 200 million albums worldwide. 1995 - Secret Garden (Norway) Irish-Norwegian duo Rolf Lovland and violinist Fionnuala Sherry scored a win for Norway after a period of being the butt of \"nul points\" jokes. Originally planned as an instrumental, a few lines of lyrics were later added. The group has had global success with their first album, spending two years in the US Billboard New Age chart from 1996-1997. Rolf is most famous for composing one of the world's most covered songs - You Raise Me Up - made famous by the likes of Josh Groban, Westlife and Il Divo. 1998 - Dana International (Israel) Dana International caused controversy as Israel's Eurovision entry. As a transsexual, conservatives tried to block her involvement, but she beat the UK's Imaani by six points to win with her song, Diva. Already a success in her native country with three albums to her name, Eurovision propelled her to international stardom. The following year's contest, she famously fell over on stage after the Swedish entry stepped on the back of her dress. She released more albums and even composed Israel's Eurovision entry in 2008 which finished ninth. After disappearing from showbusiness for a few years, she came back in 2009 as a judge on the Israeli version of Pop Idol. She released a new single last month. 2003 - Sertab Erener (Turkey) It was third time lucky for Sertab Erener, who had previously tried out twice to represent her country in 1989 and 1990. Everyway That I Can was Turkey's first entry sung entirely in English and gave the nation its first victory after 25 attempts. The song topped the charts in Turkey, Greece and Sweden as well as charting in nearly 10 other European countries. Sertab was already one of Turkey's most successful female singers before the contest and had released five albums. She has since released another five records in both Turkish and English. 2006 - Lordi (Finland) Finland finally won the Eurovision Song Contest thanks to monster act Lordi. Hard Rock, Hallelujah stormed to the top with a huge 292 points - the highest score ever at the time - and won by almost a 30 point margin. Led by Tomi Putaansuu (otherwise known as Mr Lordi) and inspired by the rock group Kiss, the group never take off their masks and costumes. Eurovision helped boost their success and their song charted over most of western Europe, while their album charted over in the USA and Japan too. They tour extensively and have performed at numerous festivals, including on the mainstage at Ozzfest in 2007. They released their seventh studio album, To Beast or Not To Beast, in March.",

            "input": "The former Labour MSP was appointed to the Scottish Police Authority in 2017. But in her resignation letter, she said there was \"little more\" she could do to make the governance and accountability of policing work effectively. First Minister Nicola Sturgeon rejected opposition claims the police service was \"in crisis\" and said the SPA would continue to make improvements. Prof Deacon was the third person to chair the SPA since it began work in April 2013 alongside the launch of Scotland's single police service. Why has Susan Deacon resigned? When she was appointed in 2017, then justice secretary Michael Matheson said she would \"bring a fresh perspective to the governance of Scottish policing\". Prof Deacon said she had worked \"tirelessly\" to ensure the SPA operated effectively, and that public confidence and trust in policing was maintained. \"In truth, however, I have increasingly become convinced that the governance and accountability arrangements for policing in Scotland are fundamentally flawed, in structure, culture and practice, and I conclude that there is little more I can do to make these arrangements work effectively,\" she said. \"I would suggest that the Scottish government thinks afresh about how the police service is scrutinised and held to account and how, or if, a better separation between politics and policing, and indeed between the police service and those who oversee it, can be achieved.\" It has not been an easy two years for Susan Deacon as chairwoman of the Scottish Police Authority. She was appointed in December 2017 following turmoil in the authority, which was seen as lacking transparency in its dealings, and was rocked by accusations of bullying surrounding previous chairman Andrew Flanagan. The police service was also in turmoil, with a series of allegations of gross misconduct being investigated against the chief constable, Phil Gormley, who resigned in early 2018. Prof Deacon has been credited with making the actions of the authority, whose role is to hold Police Scotland to account, more transparent. But it is her criticism of the way the national force is scrutinised and held to account which will cause concern, particularly her view that current governance and accountability arrangements are fundamentally flawed. It was a view shared by HM Chief Inspector of Constabulary for Scotland, Gill Imrie, who told Holyrood's justice committee on Tuesday that senior officers at Police Scotland had become \"frustrated\" by the lack of scrutiny. In an earlier report, she said there was \"no clear vision, strategy or plan in place\" for the SPA. Policing inevitably is a highly political matter, but Prof Deacon said the government must review the separation between politics and policing, and said she felt there was little more she could do in the role. What has the government said? Justice Secretary Humza Yousaf said there had been \"significant improvement across many facets of the police service in Scotland\" during Prof Deacon's time at the SPA. \"As Ms Deacon herself acknowledges, our police service is in a much stronger place now than prior to her appointment,\" he said. At First Minister's Questions, Scottish Lib Dem leader Willie Rennie said the police was \"in crisis once again\" and claimed there was a \"toxic mix of chaos and complacency\". Ms Sturgeon replied: \"The police is not in crisis and I think it does a disservice to police officers around our country who are working so hard to keep us safe to say so.\" She said the SPA would continue with the improvements which were being made to governance and accountability. How have others reacted? Scottish Labour said the resignation \"raises serious questions\" about the SPA's ability to oversee Police Scotland, while the Scottish Conservatives described the SPA as \"an organisation in crisis\". The SPA's vice chairman, David Crichton, will lead the SPA until a new appointment is made. He said: \"We believe that the system of governance and accountability for policing in Scotland that was envisaged by the founding legislation is a sound one and can work effectively,\" he added. \"While we respect this personal decision of the chair, our collective focus will be on working together with our dedicated staff team to build on recent progress, deliver the actions and improvements already identified, and redouble the SPA's focus on the issues of greatest importance to policing and the public.\" However, the Scottish Police Federation said the resignation was not a surprise. Its chairwoman, Andrea MacDonald, said: \"It has been apparent to the Scottish Police Federation that the authority has not been operating effectively for some time. \"It is nonetheless disappointing that we now see the Scottish Police Authority looking for its fourth chair in six years.\" What happened to previous chairs of the SPA? Ms Deacon's predecessor Andrew Flanagan resigned in June 2017 after heavy criticism from two Holyrood committees over governance and transparency at the SPA. He said he was quitting to avoid being a \"distraction\" to the new 10-year policing strategy, and that the \"personalised\" debate had \"impacted on me and my family\". The SPA's first chairman, Vic Emery, stepped down in September 2015 after deciding not to seek an extension to his contract. He had been involved in a number of public spats with the first chief constable of the new police service, Sir Stephen House.",

            "input": "By Neil PriorBBC News In a bitter-sweet coincidence it is also the 44th anniversary of the very last trolley bus service in Wales, when Cardiff's 262 returned to its Newport Road depot for the final time in January 1970. But now the custodian of 262, the only surviving example of a Welsh-built trolley bus, says the time could be right for the trolleys to ride again. 262 has spent almost twenty years being restored by the Cardiff and South Wales Trolley Bus Project, along with 243, a single-decker specially designed to cope with Bute Street's low railway bridge. Keith Walker, from the project, says all they need now is somewhere to run them. \"Over the years we've had several groups express interest in setting up a loop of overhead cables so we can run the buses, but it's never come to anything. \"While Cardiff Bay was under development there was talk of using them as a tourist attraction, and there were even plans for a transport theme park near Barry at one stage. \"I suppose it goes to show what a hair-brained scheme it was to buy two old trolley buses in the first place, but for people of my age it represents the Cardiff we used to know. \"I grew up watching them whirr around the city, clanking as they changed wires, and it's something I'd love to be able to recreate - who knows, maybe there's room for them at the National History museum in St Fagans?\" Off the tracks When they were introduced in 1914 trolley buses were meant to be the definitive solution to flexible, quick and affordable mass-transit. They were cost-effective as the abundance of coal in Wales made for cheap electricity, and the trolley buses could traverse the gradients of the valleys, as unlike trams, they could run without tracks. But Elfed Davies, the author of 150 Years of Road Passenger Transport in the Cynon Valley, said the novelty soon wore off despite the initial awe. \"For just a penny a ride, the trolley buses connected villages for the first time which either couldn't be reached by train or tram, or where it wasn't profitable to lay tracks. \"People were in awe of them. You have to remember that most people at the time would only have travelled by horse, or maybe on the train if they were lucky, and many people didn't have electricity yet in their homes. \"So to see these sleek metal buses and hear the motors must have been something wonderful. \"But what the operators hadn't reckoned on was the awful ride over the rough valleys ground in the days before pneumatic tyres. \"The bouncing would often dislodge the electrical pick-ups off the overhead cables and leave the bus stranded. In Rhondda they were stopped after just a few months in 1915 because the vibrations they caused were disturbing old mine workings beneath. \"Plus the start of World War One meant that the cheap electricity which was their main advantage wasn't that cheap after all.\" But on the flatter ground of Cardiff they did flourish, cheaply and quickly beating the traffic of a growing capital. However, by the 1960s the cost of maintaining the system and advances in diesel engines for motor buses spelt the end for Wales' few remaining trolley bus networks. Yet transport expert Professor Stuart Cole believes that trolley buses could once again form part of an integrated metro system for South Wales. \"The main reasons for getting rid of the trolley buses were the lack of flexibility with routes and the lower running costs of diesel. \"But since then fuel has risen from 8% of bus operators' total costs to around 25%. \"At the same time advances in battery technology now mean that trolley buses can run away from their overhead wires for considerable distances if required. \"They're cheaper to run, quieter, faster, and most importantly far kinder to the environment. \"The only thing against their reintroduction is a high start-up cost, but as cities across Europe are finding, if you want a sustainable public transport network which will really tempt people away from their cars, then you have to put in the investment.\"",

The potential deal had raised questions about a conflict of interest. Mr Kushner plays an influential role at the White House. The potential $4bn (£3.2bn) investment deal would have netted Kushner Companies more than $400m, Bloomberg had earlier reported. Some real estate experts were said to have considered the terms of such a transaction unusually favourable for the US company. Five Democratic lawmakers wrote to the White House on 24 March to raise concerns about what they called a \"highly troubling transaction\", which they said if executed \"would appear to present a clear conflict of interest\" for Mr Kushner. They asked if Jared Kushner had been directly involved in talks with Anbang and for more details regarding his reported divestment of ownership of the building. Kushner Companies spokesman James Yolles has said that Mr Kushner sold his ownership stake in 666 Fifth Avenue to family members, meaning that any transaction would pose no conflict of interest with his role at the White House. The ageing 41-floor property, which occupies a full block that fronts Fifth Avenue between 52nd and 53rd Street, was purchased by Kushner Companies in 2006 for $1.8bn. At the time, it was the highest price paid for a single building in Manhattan. Anbang is yet to comment. Kushner Companies, owned by Jared Kushner and his father Charles, says it is in \"advanced negotiations\" with a number of other potential partners.

But he said alternative ideas that had the \"same effect\" would be listened to. No 10 has rejected media reports that it may back down on the key demand. Downing Street has said David Cameron will put forward the benefits waiting time when EU leaders discuss the UK's renegotiation aims at a summit later this week and insisted the British people need action on this and all other aspects of his four-point plan. The prime minister is pushing for EU reforms ahead of the UK's in-out referendum, which he has promised will take place before the end of 2017. Ministers say the \"pull factors\" encouraging migrants to come to the UK need to be addressed but several European leaders object to the UK's proposals while Conservative Eurosceptics argue the curbs will make little difference to overall levels of immigration and the focus should be on reclaiming powers for the UK Parliament to set its own borders policy. 'Clear and consistent' Speaking ahead of a meeting of foreign affairs ministers in Brussels, Mr Hammond said requiring EU migrants to wait four years to receive in-work benefits, such as tax credits, had been a \"consistent demand\". \"We've put that proposal on the table. It's very clear,\" he said. But he suggested the UK was prepared to look at other options as long as their ultimate impact was the same. \"We've heard a lot of our partners in Europe have concerns about it. So far we haven't heard any counter proposals. We haven't heard any alternative suggestions that will deliver the same effect in a different way. \"But we have made very clear if people have other ideas that will deliver on this very important agenda for British people we're absolutely prepared to listen to them and we're prepared to enter into a dialogue about them, but at the moment the only proposition on the table is our four year proposal.\" The prime minister, who spoke to his Slovakian counterpart Robert Fico on Monday to discuss the UK's renegotiation, has acknowledged no agreement will be reached this week on the UK's wider agenda for reform. But senior Conservatives are hopeful progress can be made paving the way for a possible deal in February. Asked whether Mr Cameron was prepared to compromise on the four-year limit, Downing Street said he was \"open to looking at new ways of dealing with the issue\" but the basis for discussions would be \"what's on the table\". The Mayor of London and Conservative MP Boris Johnson said the rest of the EU had \"recklessly\" disregarded a proposal from the UK which he believed would go down well with their citizens. \"These people are radically and dangerously misreading the prime minister if they think he wants to stay in the EU at any price,\" he wrote in the Daily Telegraph. \"The David Cameron I know is much more Eurosceptic than some of his senior colleagues.\" 'Bobbing about' And Tory MP Kevin Hollinrake told Radio 4's World at One that the EU need to wake up to public concerns about migration in the UK, warning \"the whole EU project could fall apart\" if the UK voted to leave. But the PM is also facing a backlash from some within his own party who argue he has not been bold enough. Former Environment Secretary Owen Paterson likened the PM's position to \"someone bobbing about in the back of a dinghy, being towed along by a Channel ferry\", arguing his negotiations were \"froth and nonsense\" compared with the much bigger question of the future shape of the eurozone. And the Conservative MEP Daniel Hannan told the World at One that the UK was \"banging the table and angrily demanding the status quo\", having abandoned hope of securing meaningful opt-outs from social and employment laws or European court judgements. Appearing before a committee of peers, Europe minister David Lidington said the UK had to be \"sensitive\" to the concerns of former Eastern Bloc countries about migration, saying their history under Communist rule meant the issue had a particular \"emotional resonance\". But he suggested other EU countries were \"quite shocked\" that the UK, according to demographic trends, was set to overtake Germany as the EU's most populous country by 2050 and he believed a \"good agreement\" could be reached in this and other areas. Mr Lidington said there was a \"way to go\" in the negotiations but this week's meeting would signal \"where we can see low hanging fruit\" and what other areas required more time and work, adding that he suspected \"nothing is going to be agreed until everything is agreed\".

About 20,000 children are believed to have been affected. Most fathers refused to acknowledge the paternity of their children. The children were born in the 1940s and 1950s and taken to Belgium from 1959 until the independence of each of the three colonies. Some of the children never received Belgian nationality and remained stateless. Speaking in the Belgian parliament, Mr Michel said the country had breached the children's basic human rights, seeing them as a threat to the colonial system. It had, he said, stripped them of their identity, stigmatised them and split up siblings. \"I vow that this solemn moment will represent a further step towards awareness and recognition of this part of our national history,\" he said in his statement. Many of the mixed-race children had gone on to help Belgium become a \"more open and tolerant society\", the prime minister added. He also expressed Belgian compassion for the \"African mothers whose children were snatched from them\". Two years ago, the Catholic Church apologised for its role in the scandal. Last year, Belgian MPs called on the government to help the affected children find their biological parents and also gain Belgian nationality. Meanwhile, their mothers have also been searching for their children. The groups miXed2020 and Métis de Belgique say many of the kidnapped children \"suffered deeply\" as a result of their experience. Many still had no access to birth records and remained unable to find their mothers or their Belgian fathers, who, the groups said, were often well-known figures. Georges Kamanayo, one of the children who were taken to Belgium, said Mr Michel's apology was the \"ultimate recognition of an injustice\". \"We have felt like third-rate Belgians for a long time,\" he told daily newspaper De Standaard. \"In the colony we were set apart from the white children. It was pure segregation. We tried to immerse ourselves in Belgium, so we wouldn't stand out.\" He added: \"In Belgium we always react a little slower, other countries have preceded us.\" Belgian colonial rule of Congo was particularly brutal when it was known as Congo Free State between 1885 and 1908. An estimated 10 million Africans lost their lives when King Leopold II ran the country, now known as the Democratic Republic of Congo, as his own fiefdom. Last month, the UN's Working Group of Experts on People of African Descent told Belgium to apologise for atrocities committed during its colonial era. Racial discrimination was \"endemic\" in Belgian institutions, the UN experts said in a report. \"The root causes of present day human rights violations lie in the lack of recognition of the true scope of violence and injustice of colonisation,\" their report added. Mr Michel did not respond to the UN report, Belgian media reported. However, in parliament he said his apology to the kidnapped mixed-race children must also strengthen efforts to fight all forms of discrimination and racism in the country.",

The case is now being examined by Police Scotland. Ms Ferrier is sitting as an independent MP after being suspended by the SNP. She has refused to quit as an MP, and said coronavirus made her act \"out of character\". The MP for Rutherglen and Hamilton West was tested for coronavirus on Saturday 26 September because she had a \"tickly throat\". While awaiting her results, she is believed to have gone to church on the Sunday before travelling to London by train on the Monday. She spoke in the Commons later that day, before finding out a short time later that she had tested positive for Covid-19. Ms Ferrier then decided to get a train back to Glasgow the following day, fearing she would have to self-isolate in a hotel room for two weeks or her condition could worsen. In a statement, the Met said it had considered possible offences under the Health Protection Regulations 2020, which makes it an offence for people in England to come into contact with others when they should be self-isolating. The force added: \"On detailed examination of this new legislation, and following legal advice, it was concluded that this regulation is applicable only after the 28 September. \"In this case the test occurred prior to the 29 September and therefore the regulation does not apply. \"As such, there will be no further action in relation to this investigation from the Metropolitan Police.\" It added: \"We are in liaison with Police Scotland and have referred the matter to them for consideration.\" In Scotland, self-isolation is guidance rather than a legal requirement. However, Police Scotland said it would now assess the circumstances of the case and consult with the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service \"before taking a decision on next steps.\" Ms Ferrier's actions have been widely condemned, with cross-party calls for her to resign as an MP. First Minister Nicola Sturgeon, the SNP leader, said the MP's actions had been \"utterly indefensible\" and called for her to step down. And the speaker of the House of Commons, Sir Lindsay Hoyle, said he was \"very, very angry\" at Ms Ferrier's \"reckless\" behaviour. Although Ms Ferrier has been suspended by the SNP, the party is unable to force her to quit as an MP. However, the Scottish Conservatives have called on the SNP to expel Ms Ferrier from the party. Ms Ferrier defended her actions in an interview with the Sun on Sunday at the weekend, saying she had panicked at the prospect of having to self-isolate in a London hotel after testing positive. The MP added that she did not deny that she had made \"a serious error of judgment\", but said she wanted to continue representing her constituents and dismissed the incident as a \"blip\".",

            "input": "I am back in Paris, a city I love, where one of my children was raised and the other one born, and to which I sometimes feel I have an almost too professional amorous relation. I mean by that that people assume, knowing that I lived here and wrote a book about it, that I must return to Paris with the theme of An American In Paris playing somewhere in the background and hearty waiters trilling \"Sacre bleu!\" as they pop open bottles of pink champagne. In truth I meander back in a state of advanced melancholia, and clack my heels on the narrow streets in an unsmiling state, wreathed in a raincoat. Not that Paris is melancholy - well, actually, it is. The gray drizzle and implacable violet skies of Paris in fall and winter remind us that the impressionists, with their bright dappled light, were first of all fable makers - surrealists. The heroes of Parisian literature all clack their heels, unsmiling, in raincoats on the narrow streets, from Inspector Maigret to Camus. But in my case, at least, something is added - an over-abundance of emotion, a surplus of the heart that has nowhere useful to be delivered or relieved. Even when I am here simply to report a story for a magazine, as I am this week, I feel it. Paris is a memory-rich place for many - and I am among the many. The girl who became my wife ran away with me to Paris when we were still teenagers, shared a little room in a hotel called, of all things, the \"Welcome\", the Hotel Welcome, just like that, and swore to come back some day. We did, and when we did, 15 years later, two of the most significant things that I think can happen in life (well, after first love in a hotel room) happened to us here. The first big thing is to watch an infant become a child - to see a tiny consciousness become a distinct, entire human being with a tongue and an articulate imagination and an original point of view. And then, the complement to that big thing occurs when those who were happy as lovers, somehow have to learn to become parents. When once, not long before, you were a boat out on a sea, still watched, perhaps, by a parental eye from a distance, now overnight you become a harbour yourself, with a life-defining responsibility to a new boat, out on its own voyage. All those perfect, painful things happened to me here, and when I walk the streets, I feel them all again. I still push my son home in his push chair from the Luxembourg Gardens, see my wife at the corner window nursing our baby and waiting for us to come home - and, belonging as they do to the past, and yet being still so present in my heart, I find that I have nowhere in particular to place the feelings. There are some emotions in life so strong that there is nothing to do save feel them, over and over again - and that is really no good. It is as if there was a lock of love shackled tight around my heart in Paris. I cannot help but feel it beating, overwhelmingly, and yet there is nowhere for that beat to drive me, save backwards. These are happy memories, of course, but being past, still make me somehow inexpressibly sad. (I mentioned this emotion once to Marcel Proust, and he said there might be an idea for a book in it.) I was lucky, of course, to have big things happen in Paris - it makes for pretty pictures of the past. But in a sense it doesn't matter where it happened - I have equally love-locked memories, and a sense of not having anywhere to put them, in Philadelphia, the American city of my birth, where I passed from infant to boy, as my son did in Paris. And Philadelphia is, more or less, the Manchester of America - meaning no ill will to Manchester, just that it, like Philadelphia, presents less pretty pictures than Paris does. La vie Parisienne dans The Magazine Scandalous tales from the British embassy in Paris (20 October) Neighbours from hell - with style (25 May) Why the French love chocolate bears (November 2012) Insect eating creeps on to Paris menus (November 2013) I walk in Paris in the past. All I have left to do now productively, freshly, newly in Paris is… buy socks. There's an un-ribbed cotton kind here I like that you can't find in America. I think this is a significant fact - I even encourage my 15-year-old daughter, who likes to write, to someday begin her autobiography right there. She should begin her memoirs, I tell her, with the sentence, \"My father went to Paris to buy his socks\". Or, more poetically, \"My father bought his socks in Paris\" or, still more iambically, \"In Paris, father bought his socks…\" But she gives me a steady, opaque, slightly sickened look at the suggestion, and clearly already has memoir-opening sentence plans of her own, probably also involving her father. In this melancholy mood, I wandered over just yesterday to a favourite bridge of mine, the Pont Des Arts, to look at - well, to look at the lovelocks. The Pont Des Arts is the footbridge that connects the left bank to right - or rather left bank to the Louvre. These days, the bridge is covered, horribly congealed with, groaning under, another kind of love lock - the small real padlocks people attach to the railings of the bridge, as a sign of their commitment, or at least of their willingness to spend enough on a lock to pretend to be committed. The practice, which I'm sure you've read about, is simple, and by now repeated in the tens of thousands - you buy a padlock, you and your beloved both inscribe your initials on it with a heavy felt pen, you lock it to the bridge - and then fling the key away into the river, indicating that your love will never be unlocked. The coming of the lovelocks post-dates my leaving Paris - they began in the mid noughties, I gather. It must have been a touching sight when they first began, and there were only two or three or then five and 10 attached to the bridge's grillwork. They must have provoked a wry smile from a melancholy walker in a raincoat. Now, they are a ghastly, unsightly nuisance. The bridge groans under their collective egotism, their self-centred marking. Unsightly, ugly - they are a form of three-dimensional graffiti, and dangerous too - part of the parapet of the Pont Des Arts collapsed under the weight of the lovelocks earlier this year. So much love assembled together - causing so much public ugliness to be locked in place. Even if one guesses that only one in 10 symbolizes actual love with any chance of ripening into adulthood - even if they were bought only to buy a night in a welcoming Paris hotel with the other signatory - still, what could be better? And yet how unsightly they make the bridges. The overcharge of love is ruining Paris as a place to be a lover. The City of Paris, engaged in the inevitable argument with the Prefecture of Police and the Ministry of Culture about exactly whose province lovelocks are, has only now begun to do something about them, and that has only made things worse. They have installed sheets of plywood over the thousands of lovelocks, which themselves become sites of graffiti. Love locks - romantic or wrong-headed? The full irony of this - that the city of light has to send out the gendarmes to prevent lovers from declaring their love in tangible form - is not lost on anyone. Standing there, appalled by the violence and vulgarity of these affectionate gestures, I recalled Kenneth Clark's famous statement that while one nude is the subject of art, many nudes together are merely naked. The lovelocks are raw, naked too, in that sense. And I felt, suddenly, then, what I am sure the listener has felt before I could say it: that my own lovelock, this tight tangle of memory and longing, is really just as burdensome to the soul as the lovelocks are to the bridge and to Paris. For (I thought then) love should never be symbolized by a shackle. Love - real love, good love, love to grow on rather than to be trapped in - is a lock to which the key is always available. Another choice, another day, even perhaps another city, lies out there. The ugliness of the lovelock lies not in the locks themselves but in the false dramatic gesture that put them there - the key thrown into the water. That kind of love has not really been entrusted to the river. It has merely been abandoned on the bridge. \"I shall buy you a lock,\" I vowed silently on the bridge in the rain \"and you will keep the lock in your pocket while I shall keep the key in mine, and together we would choose, every day, never to need it. Love enchained is what we dream of, but love unlocked is what we need,\" I added, trailing into blank verse again, as Parisian bridge epiphanies make one do. So I said to myself - or rather, spoke, unheard, to my wife of so many years, at home now, far away from the scene of our first love, caring for our children - and then I resumed my melancholy Parisian walk, feeling at least, momentarily, liberated. And then I went and bought new socks, which I am wearing as I write.

            "input": "By Tom EspinerBusiness reporter, BBC News After the Danish toy-maker turned itself around more than a decade ago, last year it failed to click with customers. It said it had produced too many bricks, and had to sell off excess stock at a discount. How can Lego have too many bricks? Isn't it just that it didn't manage to sell the sets it had produced? In a way, yes. Every year it forecasts how much Lego it thinks it will need to manage its production, and last year its forecast wasn't on the money. Though to be fair, for the previous 13 years it has consistently underestimated how much it would need to produce, and hasn't made enough stock, says Frederique Tutt, global toy industry analyst at the NPD Group. Euromonitor toy analyst Matthew Hudak says \"a big issue is that Lego has now is that it's grown so quickly with only one product that it inevitably had slow down and hit a wall.\" Lego says its consumer sales in 2017 were flat, but it \"started 2017 with a higher than optimal levels of inventories\". \"The amount of Lego parents bought in 2017 was consistent with the prior year. However, because we sold fewer sets to retailers as we cleaned up inventories, revenues declined,\" it says. Has Lego lost its imagination? Are the pieces getting too specific? It's a bit harsh to say Lego has lost its imagination, says Ms Tutt. The toy industry like every other is cyclical, and after 13 years it's \"fair enough to say it can have a rest\", she says. As for the pieces being too specific, she says today's children \"like to be taken by the hand\" rather than being given a set of generic blocks, and that themed sets have been \"a driver of success\" for Lego. However, in 2017 there \"was a bit too much of Star Wars, not just in Lego, but everywhere\", she says. After three years of successive marketing the market was slightly saturated, she says. In addition, there's \"not a lot of evidence that a toy company can lean too much on licensing as licensed toys are growing quite a bit globally,\" says Mr Hudak. \"The high proliferation of smartphones allows children to watch their favourite shows all the time, which is growing demand for more licensed products,\" he says. Lego says it hasn't run out of imagination. \"Only one out of five top selling themes in 2017 was licenced. That was Star Wars. The other themes were those created by our own talented designers.\" Is Lego too expensive? Lego is more expensive than its direct competitors, but Ms Tutt says its quality is higher. It doesn't tend to use promotions that much because it doesn't have to, she says. As for permanently reducing price to stimulate sales - \"I don't think Lego wants to go that way\", she says. Lego pays licensing for sets that are linked to blockbuster brands such as Star Wars. That cost is directly passed on to consumers, making those sets more expensive. Lego says: \"We believe Lego products are unique and deliver great value for money. In addition, our products meet the highest safety and quality standards and last for generations.\" Has Lego failed to keep up with 2017 trends? \"Households can have too many Lego products and not want more each year, and equally important is that children have fickle tastes, and simply lose interest in Lego,\" says Mr Hudak. One of the big trends in 2017 in toys was \"collectibles\" - that is, toys that can be built up into a set. Whereas the year before Lego was more fashionable, in 2017 the focus was on toys such as Lol Surprise! Dolls, says Ms Tutt. However, in terms of what it does, Lego remains the market leader, with about two thirds of the global market in \"construction toys\", says Euromonitor. There was also a general slowdown in the toy market in the UK as people's disposable income was squeezed by higher inflation and low wage growth, Ms Tutt adds. Lego says: \"We launched some great products in 2017. In addition to our top-selling themes such as Lego City, Lego Friends and Lego Duplo, we introduced new play experiences inspired by the latest digital trends.\" Who are Lego's main customers? Boys aged between 5 and 9. The company has been diversifying towards trying to attract more girls, but boys (or more specifically, their parents, relations, and people with disposable income buying for them) remain the core customers, Ms Tutt says. There are Lego sets aimed at adult collectors, such as a Beatles Yellow Submarine, but these are more niche, says Ms Tutt. Lego's largest markets are the US, Western Europe - specifically UK, Germany, and France - and China, says Mr Hudak. Could Lego start using reclaimed plastic to help recycling efforts? In a word, no, at least not soon. The type of plastic Lego uses is acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) which is tough to recycle. Reclaimed plastic would not be of a high enough quality. Lego is trying to move towards using more sustainable materials - it recently announced that it is moving towards using \"plant-based polyethylene\" from sugar cane. This is still a hard-wearing plastic. As children become more environmentally aware, Lego is likely to continue to get greener, says Ms Tutt. Lego says: \"We have set ourselves an ambitious target to make our bricks from sustainable sources by 2030... We are also working on developing new materials. Use of recycled materials presents many challenges, and to ensure that the product safety and quality is not compromised we are currently working on finding the right solution for using recycled materials in our products.\"",

'Sniper' shot Jurors were told his wife had been having an affair with Pollard, who was her husband's best friend, and they planned to have a new life together. Prosecutor Simon Taylor said there had been a series of plots on Mr Weatherall's life, including the swimming pool explosion and the poison plan. The court heard there was an aborted plan by Glenn Pollard to push Mr Weatherall overboard during a fishing trip in a boat they co-owned. On 29 November last year Mr Weatherall was shot in the face at Sandwich Marina, but survived when the bullet hit his right cheekbone. The conspiracy only came to light when Heather Pollard's car was found to have been near the marina at the time of the shooting. The court heard both the Pollards had access to guns, with Glenn a registered owner of a rifle found to be consistent with firing the \"sniper\" shot. Heather Pollard, described as a \"devoted\" daughter, also carried out internet searches on the best ways to kill somebody and not get caught, the court heard. Weatherall, from Ash near Canterbury, and Glenn and Heather Pollard, of Church Lane in West Stourmouth, Canterbury, will be sentenced on Tuesday.",

Two sites at Cefn Coch, near Llanfair Caereinion, and Abermule, near Newtown, have been suggested for the substation. Pylons or underground cables are also planned to carry electricity to the transmission network in Shropshire. The National Grid announced its preferred locations for the 19 acre (7.6ha) substation more than a year ago. But protesters claim it is the fourth time the announcement of where it is planned to be built has been delayed. National Grid project manager Jeremy Lee said: \"We are giving careful attention to a wide range of factors to ensure that we make the most appropriate choice. \"Feedback from the consultation, the potential effects of our work on the local area, the proposed connections to the substation, and our responsibilities to develop a connection that is safe, reliable and cost effective are all being considered.\" The National Grid has argued that the electricity infrastructure needs upgrading in mid Wales to cope with planned new, more powerful wind farms. But the proposals have led to several protests and public meetings in Powys and Shropshire, while opposition to planned wind farms in mid Wales has grown. \"The complexity of the project and the nature of the landscape in Powys and Shropshire makes balancing all of these various requirements very challenging, which is why we are giving the final choice such careful consideration,\" added Mr Lee. \"We fully understand that people will be frustrated that this is taking longer than we anticipated, but we are working hard to complete our work and will confirm the selection of substation and route corridor as soon as we possibly can.\" Montgomeryshire AM Russell George criticised the delay. \"It has being drawn out far longer than it needs to be and these delays are just increasing local people's concerns and anxieties,\" he said.",

            "input": "By Lyse Doucet & Mahfouz ZubaideBBC News, Kabul An apparent draft of a new peace agreement from the office of the US peace envoy in Afghanistan, Zalmay Khalilzad, has been leaked after doing the rounds in the Afghan capital, Kabul. The eight tightly typed pages, which were obtained by the BBC along with a leaked three-page letter from US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, have kicked up a political storm over the past 48 hours. In his letter, Mr Blinken wrote that the US did \"not intend to dictate terms\" to the Afghan government and the Taliban, only enable both sides to \"move urgently\" towards peace. But the plain-speaking Afghan Vice-President, Amrullah Saleh, fired straight back, saying Afghanistan would \"never accept a bossy and imposed peace\". \"They can make decisions on their troops, not the people of Afghanistan,\" Mr Saleh said. A Taliban spokesman, Zabiullah Mujahid, told the BBC they were \"still studying\" the draft agreement. But he also stressed that they expect the US to meet the terms of the deal they signed last year. In other words, pull out the remaining 10,000 US-led Nato forces by 1 May, or else. A moonshot is the kind of imagining which soars beyond \"blue sky\" brainstorming. It's the biggest of ideas to solve the very biggest of problems. In Afghanistan, it's nothing less than life and death: how, after two long decades, to withdraw without precipitating a spiral into greater violence. \"Dignified\" is another new buzzword in this dreadful war: a dignified US departure; a dignified peace for Afghans. \"We do need to explore every avenue for a dignified peace to preserve rights and a fundamental set of values, including a democratic system of governance,\" said the Afghan government negotiator, Nader Nadery. Mr Khalilzad, the US envoy, landed in Kabul last week with a new sense of purpose. His presence and draft plan sparked political electricity behind the ugly high walls protecting the elegant drawing rooms of the capital. It is focusing minds in a precarious moment when Afghanistan teeters on a knife edge between war and peace. \"There's an accelerating momentum and a greater sense of urgency,\" former President Hamid Karzai told the BBC in Kabul last week. There's even more toing and froing than usual in his heavily fortified bastion in the capital; his meeting room, with its traditional oblong arrangement of sofas and chairs, was packed on the day the BBC dropped by. Cobbling together the \"unity and inclusivity\" called for in Mr Blinken's letter is Mr Karzai's forte. Warlords of past battles shut out by President Ashraf Ghani are being brought to the top table again, for better or worse. Some, who had reached out to the Taliban to seal their own futures and fortunes, are said to have realised that the cost of disunity could be chaos and collapse. Mr Ghani, known to prefer an immersion in policy papers to the messy cut and thrust of politicking, is also being pushed back into the fray. In his book-lined office last month in the storied Haram Sarai, the former residence of King Zahir Shah, President Ghani hinted that this was crunch time: \"Hard decisions and sacrifices lie ahead,\" he told us. But when asked about Mr Khalilzad's previous draft of a power-sharing government, he dismissed it as \"somebody sitting behind the desk, dreaming\". So will President Ghani, who still insists he'll only transfer power through elections, accede to this transition plan? One Afghan politician summed it up to us with an Afghan proverb: \"If you don't go to school, you'll be taken to school.\" In other words, Mr Ghani might have no choice. And what about the country's warlords - will they put aside age-old animosities for peace? They may, but with \"hearts full of blood\" - another proverb, and a warning that old feuds may not lie dormant for long. The draft paper sets out a new arrangement in three parts: guiding principles for Afghanistan's constitution and the future of the Afghan state; agreed terms to govern the country during a transitional period and a roadmap to a \"durable and just settlement\"; and finally - and most urgently for Afghans - agreed terms for a \"permanent and comprehensive ceasefire and its implementation\". There are blank spaces and options as well. The length of a transitional government is marked \"XX\". Two possibilities for an executive administration are offered: one similar to the current arrangement led by a president and vice-presidents; another which includes a prime minister. In an effort to expedite the process, the US is pulling out all the stops and calling in all the favours. The UN, kept largely on the sidelines until now, is shifting to centre stage to confer greater international legitimacy on the process, and make it easier for neighbours who have long meddled in Afghanistan to sit around the same table. Mr Blinken's letter also proposed a high-level meeting in Turkey to bring warring sides together. And there is something for everyone in the eight-page draft peace agreement. The Taliban will note a suggestion for a High Council for Islamic Jurisprudence to provide \"Islamic guidance and advice\" - though it's likely to fall far short of what the Taliban herald as the return of a \"pure Islamic government\". Women's groups will see, on the very first page, that \"the future constitution will guarantee the protection of women's rights\". If anyone knows that words alone are never enough, it's the women and girls whose lives have changed, but remain heavily circumscribed, whether or not the conservative Taliban are in power. And millions of Afghans, hearts hollowed out by grief, will press for progress towards what this paper calls \"a national policy of transitional justice\" - even though they know that the arc of history in Afghanistan has never bent towards justice. \"Bringing lasting peace primarily depends on the Afghan sides, but the international community led by the US was a stakeholder in this conflict, and their responsibility doesn't end with ensuring a safe exit for their troops,\" said Shaharzad Akbar, chairwoman of the Afghanistan's Independent Human Rights Commission. \"They still have leverage with both Afghan sides of the conflict and can utilise that to push for substantive discussions to end the suffering of Afghans through talks,\" she said. There are those who caution against too much hope: \"The only attractive argument for this plan is [if] its success means a ceasefire,\" said Laurel Miller, the director of the Asia Programme at the International Crisis Group and a former US state department official. \"But if the weak, fractious, transitional structure collapses - which is a high probability - then the ceasefire won't last.\" Peace is on the agenda as never before, but so is war. Both sides talk of plans for the worst of all summer offensives. \"It will be a miracle if this works,\" one Afghan involved in the peace effort told us. But in a country that has lived through almost everything, aiming for moonshots and miracles may not seem far-fetched. The people are anxious for the endless war to end, and as soon as possible.",

It follows his departure over legal protections for British troops who fought during the conflict in Northern Ireland known as the Troubles. No 10 has pledged action on the issue. Speaking to BBC Newsnight in an interview that will air later on Wednesday, Mr Mercer said Boris Johnson had failed to deliver on promises to protect ex-soldiers who served in Northern Ireland from prosecution. He told the programme he had been \"sacked by text\" after offering to resign at the end of Wednesday, but refusing to go earlier. On Tuesday, a No 10 spokesperson said the PM had \"accepted\" Mr Mercer's resignation. Leo Docherty, who replaced Mr Mercer on Wednesday, promised legislation to offer \"protection\" to ex-soldiers who served during the Troubles. They have been excluded from a bill making its way through Parliament which aims to prevent unfounded prosecutions over conflicts overseas. The Overseas Operations Bill, which MPs debated on Wednesday, will only cover conflicts abroad such as the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Mr Mercer told BBC Newsnight legislation for troops who fought in Northern Ireland had been promised repeatedly but \"has never appeared\". \"The government's been promising for a long time this bill. If I thought there was any prospect of that bill coming, I clearly would have stayed,\" he added. The Plymouth Moor View MP said he had asked officials before his departure whether a \"single word had been committed to paper\" and had been told \"no\".

Almost nobody tells the truth is what I've worked out over the last 36 hours. \"I don't think anyone really can get on their high horse about trust and ethics and all the rest of it in politics, because as far as I'm concerned, most of it is a bit of a cesspit\". On Wednesday, the PM's official spokesman said details new legislation for Northern Ireland would be announced \"in the coming weeks\". \"There is more to be done on the issue of the Northern Ireland legacy and we are committed to making progress on this as quickly as possible,\" he added. \"We are engaging with Northern Ireland parties and the community in Northern Ireland, including victims' groups as well as the Irish government, on the way forward.\"",

            "input": "By Sanjay KumarPolitical scientist It is true that the politically crucial states of Bihar and Uttar Pradesh - the two account for 120 of the 543 seats in the parliament - witnessed a decisive shift of votes of the upper castes, caste groups known as Other Backward Classes (OBC) and lower-caste Dalits (formerly known as untouchables) in favour of the BJP. But it may be inappropriate to say that all those who voted for the BJP were motivated to vote for the party due to its ideology of Hindutva (Hinduness). People voted for the BJP due to huge dissatisfaction with the former Congress led-government, a desire for change and an attraction for the party's prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi. The popular vote also cut across age, gender and social backgrounds. Sections of the Hindu upper castes voted overwhelmingly in favour of the BJP. But his was hardly a reaction to a perceived consolidation of Muslims - who comprise 13% of India's billion-strong population - against the party. Speculation A survey of the poll results by the Delhi-based Centre for the Study of Developing Societies (CSDS) reveals that the recent election saw a marginal shift of the Muslim vote in favour of the BJP. The survey indicates that 8% of Muslims voted for the BJP and its allies, nearly double from the 2009 polls. But even in the past, Muslims have voted for the BJP in similar numbers - 7% of Muslims voted for the party and its allies in the three general elections held in 1998, 1999 and 2004. There was a lot of media speculation in the run up to the elections that Muslims would vote heavily in favour of the Congress or the new anti-corruption Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). The CSDS survey indicates that 38% of Muslim voters cast their ballots for the Congress and its allies - around the same as in the last election in 2009. Over the last few general elections, a little more than a third of the Muslims have consistently voted for the Congress. The AAP failed to attract the Muslim vote except in Varanasi constituency where party leader Arvind Kejriwal was contesting against BJP's prime-ministerial candidate Narendra Modi. The AAP also attracted a sizeable proportion of Muslim votes in the capital, Delhi. Though the Congress party mopped up as much of the Muslim vote as it had secured in the 2009 polls, the community's support for the party was not uniform across the country. In states like Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Gujarat, Chhattisgarh, Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh, where Congress was directly pitted against the BJP, the Muslims, in general, voted overwhelmingly in favour of the Congress. But in states like Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, where Congress was not in a position to put up a direct challenge to the BJP, a large number of Muslims voted for powerful regional parties like the Samajwadi Party and the Rashtriya Janata Dal.

But like her on-screen persona, Brown's private life has seen its fair share of tragedy. She was born in Suffolk in 1927 to a wealthy father who went bust after investing money in German banks before World War Two. Her younger brother, John, died of pneumonia in 1932 aged just 15 days, and two years later she lost her elder sister, Marise, who was eight. Brown served in the Women's Royal Naval Service at the end of the war before leaving to train at London's Old Vic Theatre School. There she met and married her first husband, actor John Garley, in 1950, but he had depression and gassed himself to death at home in 1957. A year later, she married actor Robert Arnold who starred in the BBC series Dixon Of Dock Green. The couple shared 45 years of marriage, before Arnold died of pneumonia in 2003. They had six children together, although her second daughter Chloe, born prematurely at 28 weeks, died after just 16 days. When Dot Cotton arrived in Albert Square in 1985, Brown was in her late 50s. Actor Leslie Grantham, who played Dirty Den, suggested her for the role. Until then, Brown's career had incorporated stage, film and television, with appearances in Coronation Street and Doctor Who. But the character of Dot was to make the actress a star. Dot's lot was largely an unhappy one - always guided by the scriptures, she tried in vain to put her good-for-nothing son, Nick, on the right track. After a four-year break from the soap between 1993 and 1997, Dot returned to the Square and suffered more torment, helping her best friend Ethel to end her life in a controversial storyline in 2000. Sparring with her on-screen husband Jim, whom Dot married in 2002, provided some lighter moments and when Dot was stuck for words, her response was the inevitable: \"Ooh I say!\". In 2008, the actress became the first actor in a British soap to carry an entire episode alone, with an emotional monologue dictated to a cassette for her screen husband to listen to in hospital following a stroke. That same year she was made an MBE for services to drama and charity. Brown told The Times in 1997 she was \"never going to be made a Dame doing Dot\", but she was on her way. Over the past decade Dot has had an eventful life in Albert Square, including seeing her son Nick return after faking his own death - and then watch him die from a heroin overdose. She subsequently served four months in prison for his manslaughter and retired from the launderette in recent months. Follow us on Facebook, on Twitter @BBCNewsEnts, or on Instagram at bbcnewsents.

He explains in his own words: \"At an altitude of more than 14,000ft, where winter temperatures can fall to -40 degrees Celsius, it is hard to believe anyone or anything can survive in this vast ice desert that is the Changthang Plateau. \"Situated between the Himalayan and Karakorum mountain ranges, it is the highest permanently inhabited plateau in the world, and home to an extremely hardy and rare breed of goat - the Changra, or Pashmina goat. \"The high altitude, freezing temperatures and harsh bitter winds in this unforgiving mountainous region are essential to stimulate the growth of the goats' super-soft undercoat. \"The fibres measure a mere eight to 10 microns in width, making it around 10 times finer than human hair and eight times warmer than sheep wool. \"This luxurious fibre is known the world over as Pashmina, the softest and most expensive type of Cashmere wool in the world. \"For centuries the Changpa nomads, who themselves are as hardy as their animals, have roamed 'the roof of the world', moving their herds of yak, sheep and goats along traditional migratory routes in this high altitude desert every few months, in search of fresh grazing pastures. \"This ancient way of life is now very much under threat from climate change, fake Pashmina imports from China, the need for better education and the desire simply for an easier and more comfortable life. \"The nomads and scientists alike are adamant that climate change is the biggest threat to Pashmina production in the region. \"The Changthang plateau does not usually get much snowfall, and if it does, it begins in January or February. \"However, for the last few years it has been increasingly heavy, starting as early as December, even November. \"As a result, food supplements have to be brought in to prevent the animals dying from starvation. Also, the winters have been getting warmer, which has reduced the quality and quantity of the valuable Pashmina wool. \"Cashmere is expensive, and rightly so. The Changpa carefully comb the hair during the spring moulting season to harvest the downy undercoat, and then the good fibre is laboriously separated from the bad by hand. \"Once the fibres are manually sorted, cleaned and hand-spun, the weaving process can begin, which is equally demanding and painstaking. \"It takes several months to a year for highly skilled artisans to work their magic on wooden looms and weave a masterpiece which will be exported around the world, selling for between £150 ($200) and £1,500 ($2,000) by luxury retailers. \"Another issue of concern is the increasing number of snow leopards in the region, putting their animals at increasing risk of attack. This is a result of the successful conservation efforts over the last decade. \"The threat to Pashmina goat-rearing would mean the end of the livelihoods of about 300,000 people in the Jammu and Kashmir state who, directly or indirectly, depend on Pashmina. \"It would also mean an end to the unique culture of the Changpas; most of them are followers of Tibetan Buddhism, and have an elaborate set of customs centred around their livestock.\" .",

            "input": "In her final TV interview with political editor Laura Kuenssberg, the PM spoke of \"frustration\" at not seeing Brexit through and underestimating how \"entrenched\" MPs had become. She said she had achieved an \"enormous amount\" in three years in the job. But she was sorry having to leave when \"there was more that I wanted to do\". Mrs May and her husband Philip will depart Downing Street on 24 July, succeeded as prime minister by either Boris Johnson or Jeremy Hunt. She was forced to announce her exit in May, amid a revolt by Conservative MPs angry about her failure to take the UK out of the EU on 29 March and her decision to open Brexit talks with Labour. Interviewed in 10 Downing Street, Mrs May said she \"didn't recognise\" herself in criticisms that have been made of her personality and leadership. But, despite having to go earlier than she wanted, she insisted she had been the \"right person\" for the job and was \"immensely proud\" of what she had accomplished. Asked if she could have done more to persuade MPs to back her Brexit deal with the EU - which they rejected three times - she replied: \"One could always look back and say, 'If I'd sat down and talked to people more often'.\" Mrs May said she had wrongly assumed MPs would be \"eager to get Brexit over the line\". \"I actually think there's quite a difference between Parliament and the public,\" she said. \"I think the public have got a very simple view. A decision was taken - just get on with it - and they are not in that same polarised way that Parliament has been about this issue.\" It had been, she said, \"incredibly frustrating\" that MPs on either side of the Leave-Remain divide had \"got so sort of entrenched that they just were not willing to make that compromise that would enable us to get the majority to get this through\". Mrs May would not be drawn on whether she was planning to back Mr Hunt or Mr Johnson as her replacement, saying only that \"they understand the responsibility that this job brings\". While wishing her successor well, she said she would continue to argue that leaving the EU \"with a good deal\" was vital. And she called for a more discipline in government after years of leaks and political disagreements inside her cabinet: \"Good government depends on collective responsibility. It needs to return.\" 'Not really me' During the interview, Mrs May opened up about life in Downing Street and the emotional strains of the job, recalling the \"chilling\" moment she was told about the Manchester Arena bombing in 2017. She said she did not regret calling a snap general election during the same year, in which she ended up losing her Commons majority. But Mrs May conceded she had made mistakes during the campaign, including not appearing in a TV debate with other party leaders, with the then Home Secretary, Amber Rudd, taking part instead. \"I regret running a campaign that wasn't really me,\" she said. \"There are other things - I think I probably actually should have done the TV debates.\" Mrs May, who will remain in Parliament as MP for Maidenhead after leaving Downing Street, defended her economic record, saying unemployment was at a record low and austerity was coming to an end. She also hailed the progress made in tackling some of the \"burning injustices\" she highlighted in her first speech after becoming prime minister. Mrs May said she was proud of \"championing some causes that otherwise will be unfashionable\", such as the fight against modern slavery and domestic violence and mental health support. \"Brexit has taken up a lot of people's thinking, but actually there's an enormous amount that has been done behind that.\" She said she hoped her critics and supporters alike would feel that \"in everything I've done, I've always done what I believed to be in the national interest\". The winner of the Conservative Party leadership race - and next prime minister - will be announced on 23 July. Either Mr Hunt or Mr Johnson will take over from Mrs May the next day.",

            "input": "At the White House, Mr Obama said the detention centre was \"contrary to who we are\" and harmful to US interests. He cited recent convictions of terror suspects to argue the civilian justice system was adequate for such trials. Congress has blocked efforts to close the prison, but Mr Obama said he would renew discussions with lawmakers. Mr Obama told reporters he had asked a team of officials to review operations at Guantanamo Bay and said he was not surprised there were problems there. \"It is inefficient, it hurts us in terms of our international standing, it lessens co-operation with our allies on counter-terrorism efforts, it is a recruitment tool for extremists, it needs to be closed,\" Mr Obama said. 'No longer necessary' He described the detention facility at Guantanamo Bay as a \"lingering problem\" that would worsen if it remained open. \"I think it is critical for us to understand that Guantanamo is not necessary to keep America safe,\" Mr Obama told reporters. He said that with the war in Iraq over and detention authority in Afghanistan transferred to Afghan forces, the facility in Cuba was no longer necessary. Mr Obama said he would need the help of Congress to devise a long-term legal solution to the prosecution of detainees. The president's comments come amid a hunger strike that has spread in recent weeks to include more than 100 of the 166 inmates at the facility. They are protesting against their indefinite detention. Most are being held without charge. UN Human Rights Commissioner Navi Pillay has said Guantanamo Bay should be shut immediately. The UN has called the continued detention of so many people without trial a clear violation of international law, though it understands Congress has blocked Mr Obama from closing the prison, the BBC's Imogen Foulkes says in Geneva. Aid agencies are convinced the situation there cannot go on. The International Committee of the Red Cross, the only agency with access to individual detainees, says there is now an unprecedented level of desperation at Guantanamo, our correspondent adds. On Tuesday, a UN spokesman said the force-feeding of prisoners was also a probable human rights violation. \"If it's clearly against the will of the people who are being forcibly fed, then in a view of the World Medical Association and indeed our view, this would amount to cruel, inhumane and degrading treatment which is not permissible under international law,\" said Rupert Colville, the UN spokesman on human rights. In his remarks, the president seemed to support the US practice of force-feeding some hunger-strikers. \"I don't want these individuals to die,\" he said. \"Obviously the Pentagon is trying to manage the situation as best we can.\" The US has had to reinforce medical staff at Guantanamo Bay, with about 40 nurses and other specialists arriving at the weekend, according to a camp spokesman. Cleared for release The strike began in February but spread in recent weeks to include more than 100 of the 166 people held at the facility. Guantanamo officials deny claims that the strike began after copies of the Koran were mishandled during searches of prisoners' cells. A spokesman for the detention camp told Reuters news agency that 21 prisoners were being force-fed through tubes inserted through their noses, while five had been brought to hospital for observation but did not have life-threatening conditions. Shorter hunger strikes have happened at Guantanamo since early 2002, when the US began bringing al-Qaeda and Taliban prisoners there. Violence erupted at the prison on 13 April as the authorities moved inmates out of communal cellblocks where they had covered surveillance cameras and windows. Some prisoners used \"improvised weapons\" and were met with \"less-than-lethal rounds\", camp officials said, but no serious injuries were reported. Nearly 100 of the detainees have reportedly been cleared for release but remain at the facility because of restrictions imposed by Congress as well as concerns of possible mistreatment if they are sent back to their home countries. Senator Dianne Feinstein, the chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, wrote to National Security Council Director Tom Donilon last week asking for the administration to \"renew its efforts\" to transfer the cleared prisoners. Sen Feinstein and another committee member had earlier asked the Obama administration to temporarily halt the transfer of 56 cleared Yemeni nationals after an attempted bombing claimed by al-Qaeda in Yemen in December 2009. Soon after his election, Mr Obama made closing Guantanamo Bay a top priority for his new administration, pledging to close it within a year of his inauguration in January 2009. But his plan to transfer prisoners to maximum security prisons in the US and try some detainees in the civilian justice system met fierce resistance from lawmakers of both parties.",

Bridger was jailed for life for her abduction and murder at a month-long trial in May. Last week hundreds of people attended April's funeral in her hometown. April went missing while playing outside her home. Despite a hunt involving dozens of police officers and hundreds of people she was never found. Her mother, Coral Jones, 41, issued an open invitation via Facebook for people either to join her in remembering April or to mark the occasion themselves. The lanterns were set off from the estate where April lived at around 18:00 BST. \"You are more than welcome to let them off with us or do them were you live,\" she said on her Facebook profile. Meanwhile, applications for money from a fund set up in April's memory closed on Monday. It is expected the trustees of April's Fund, which has raised more than £76,000 so far, will discuss with her family where the money should go. April's former primary school and search and rescue teams could benefit from some of the money raised. The first anniversary of her abduction marks a turbulent 12 months for the small Dyfi Valley market town of Machynlleth. Town and Powys county councillor Michael Williams said Machynlleth should move on with compassion and understanding. \"It's been a very harrowing experience for the town and further afield in the Dyfi Valley but for Coral and Paul (April's parents) and their family it must have been quite horrendous, and not forgetting Mark Bridger's children and the mothers of those children,\" he said. \"It is time to move into the future and return to that vibrancy the town showed before 1 October last year. We must do this for April's family's sake, for the children in the community and the whole community. \"We have to move into the future in a positive way and with compassion and understanding.\" Hundreds of people turned out to search for the schoolgirl in the days after she was reported missing by her family last year. They were joined in the hunt by police and mountain rescue teams from Wales and around the UK but April's body has never been found. April's story and the response of the community to her disappearance touched people around the world, and the town's reaction was praised by Prime Minister David Cameron in the House of Commons. Pink, her favourite colour, became a symbol for her search, with people wearing pink bows and tying pink ribbons to trees in the town. Last Thursday, residents paid their final respects in a funeral service at the town's St Peter's Church. April's small white coffin was carried from her home on the Bryn-y-Gog estate by a horse-drawn carriage, which was followed by hundreds of mourners including her parents and siblings.",

Her father Jeremy, from Birmingham, launched legal action to get her moved. St Andrew's, Walsall Council and clinical commissioning group and NHS England have apologised to the family. The family - the surname of which cannot be published - previously shared its plight with BBC File on 4 saying Bethany had been kept in seclusion at St Andrew's Hospital for 21 months as she had been aggressive and self-harmed. Last October, her father successfully fought a High Court gagging order sought by Walsall Council to stop him from speaking out about his daughter's treatment in the unit. Bethany is currently at a medium secure hospital in Wales, which her father said is still not suitable. \"It's like putting a person having a cardiac arrest into an ear nose and throat ward,\" he said. \"She has deteriorated further and is now becoming even more damaged. It's an outrage that this is being allowed to happen.\" In a joint statement, St Andrew's Healthcare, NHS England, Walsall Council and Walsall Clinical Commissioning Group said it had been accepted her care did not always comply with the mental health practices and \"there were unfortunate delays in moving Bethany from what became an unsuitable placement for her\". It added through mediation with the family an \"agreement was reached which has resolved matters, including the claim for damages, without the need for further litigation\". Neither party has disclosed how much the family will receive. The bodies said they were working together to ensure Bethany moves to a \"bespoke\" placement.

During the following nine years, the number of ovarian cancer deaths matched those in an untested group of the same size. Cancer Research UK said it was seeking new methods to detect the cancer. While ovarian cancer is not the most common in the UK, it causes more than 4,000 deaths a year. This is because it is often far advanced by the time that symptoms become obvious. If caught early, up to nine out of 10 women can survive. Two types of test are at the centre of hopes for a successful screening programme - a blood test looking for a high levels of a chemical associated with the cancer, and an ultrasound test which looks directly for abnormalities. Unsuccessful The University of Utah study, which started in 1993, used both tests in combination, with women given the blood test once a year for the first six years, then annual ultrasound examinations for the remaining four years. By the time the study closed in 2010, slightly more cases of ovarian cancer had been diagnosed in the screened group, compared with the group offered no screening. However, there were 118 deaths among the screened women, and 100 in the unscreened women, which amounted to no real difference in statistical terms. In addition, the screening programme threw up 3,285 \"false positive\" results, in which the tests suggested cancer might be present, even though this was not the case. Of these women, more than 1,000 underwent unnecessary surgery, many opting for surgical removal of one or both of their ovaries. These operations led to 222 cases of \"major complications\". The researchers suggested that using a different combination of blood tests and ultrasound might improve the outcome. However, they said that the fast-growing nature of many ovarian cancers could mean that even annual tests might not offer enough women the chance to catch it at an early stage. A similar UK-based trial is still some years away from giving its verdict on the effectiveness of ovarian screening. The UK Collaborative Trial of Ovarian Cancer Screening (UKCTOCS) delivered encouraging results at its halfway point in 2009, with both types of test proving accurate in detecting cancers. Like the Utah researchers, British teams are now waiting until the middle of this decade to see if this has any positive effect on overall deaths from the disease. Dr James Brenton, an ovarian cancer specialist at Cancer Research UK, said that the charity was funding research into different methods of spotting tumours in their early stages. He said: \"This important research suggests that having a yearly ultrasound test along with a blood test, which provides a snapshot of the levels of protein associated with ovarian cancer - the serum CA125 test - is not going to cure more women. \"We are testing whether smaller rises in CA125 over time can be a better predictor, and working with international groups to identify common genes that might slightly increase the risk.\"",

Chief Constable Suzette Davenport told the PCC during the discussion the policing of last year's cull had been \"difficult\" and \"challenging\". The force's Operation Themis took place between September and December 2013. Monday's scrutiny meeting was not directly open to the public, but it was streamed online for people to follow. During the discussions, Assistant Chief Constable Richard Berry told PCC Martin Surl the government had approached the force about using Airwave radios, but it refused due to operational independence. The radios used by the cull operators were purchased by the company carrying out the cull, Mr Berry said. The revelation follows the conviction of David McIntosh, who crashed a van loaded with badger carcasses into a bus stop in Gloucester, when a radio he had been using to monitor police messages fell under his foot pedals. During the meeting, it was also revealed 150 police stop and searches took place over 89 days, leading to seven arrests. Ms Davenport said: \"It's unprecedented in policing that we've had to police protest at night with people with firearms. \"That's never ever been done before in British policing, so we were setting new ground.\" Ms Davenport said the force had learned lessons which would be used should the second year of the pilot cull go ahead this summer. \"It's been difficult for the communities of Gloucestershire, difficult for our staff, and difficult because of some of the allegations that have been made - about what we have done, should have done, could have done and didn't do. \"[It was] a challenging environment, challenging times.

Mencap and the Challenging Behaviour Foundation said some patients had still not been found suitable homes. Care minister Norman Lamb said ignoring the rights of the learning-disabled would no longer be tolerated. 'Abuse was inhuman' A joint statement from the two charities said: \"It is unacceptable that, two years on, we still don't know how many of the 48 people from Winterbourne View have been supported to move back into the community, where they should be. \"We are still working with families whose loved ones remain hundreds of miles away in inpatient institutions, despite families' ongoing efforts to bring them closer to home. \"We are very concerned that targets set only last year by the government to support people with a learning disability to move back into the local community may be missed.\" On Saturday the government-imposed target passes, of getting every case reviewed with each patient receiving a suitable care plan. All patients found to be inappropriately placed in hospital should be moved to community-based support as quickly as possible and no later than 1 June 2014. The Department of Health said the majority of former patients had been moved to social care settings by 1 March and that NHS England was continuing to work with local areas on all cases. Care and Support Minister Mr Lamb, said: \"The abuse and neglect we saw at Winterbourne View was inhuman and although I acknowledge these are complex cases we cannot accept a slow response to tackling the very serious issues raised. \"I am determined to ensure that there will be no hiding place for any area which fails to stick to the plan we published last December. \"I have made it clear that we will publish details of what commissioners across the country have done at each stage. Those that fail to do what is necessary to transform services will be named and shamed. \"We cannot tolerate any longer the rights of people with learning disabilities being ignored or downgraded.\" 'Fracturing relationships' He said confirmed that he would hold meetings next week to ensure progress continued to be made. Margaret Flynn, who led the serious case review into what happened, said there had been extensive changes, but more needed to be done. \"We have many organisations that have signed up to developing services that do not require adults with learning disabilities and autism to be placed in assessment and treatment units for undefined periods,\" she said. But she added \"my guess is we are some considerable distance\" from all patients in assessment and treatment units being back in their local communities. \"I think the harm that's done by fracturing people's relationships with their families and also with their GPs should never be underestimated.\" Ms Flynn said: \"The pace cannot be satisfactory for families, not least of all the families of young people who must be wondering whether or not Winterbourne View Hospital and its like are part of their waiting future. \"And for families whose daughters and sons were patients at Winterbourne View hospital, my sense is that there's still frustration that although two thirds are now in community-based settings, not everybody is as close to home as they would like to be.\"",

The group said previously it had been working on a \"much cheaper\" waste processing plant and \"would have bid for the contract\" which was eventually awarded to Urbaser Balfour Beatty (UBB). When the council revealed the project's cost rose from £500m to £633m, CR4C claimed it did not represent good value and the contract should have been retendered. At the hearing in Bristol, Judge Karsten Rasmussen agreed Community R4C did not know about the cost increases until December 2018 - three years after the contract was awarded. However, he also decided Community R4C would not have qualified as an economic operator at the time had there been a re-tender.

Spokeswoman Sue Oppenheimer said: \"We will be writing to MP's, councillors and others to seek an immediate review, based on the court's findings.\" Councillor Nigel Moor said: \"The judge clearly states that Community R4C did not have the financial standing or proven track record to bid for large scale projects, and rules that, as they did not exist at the relevant time, their case cannot proceed.\" Mr Moor added the challenge had been a \"huge waste of everyone's time and public money\".",

            "input": "About 300,000 people were ordered back into lockdown this week amid a military-assisted operation to \"ring fence\" 10 postcodes at the centre of the outbreak. The problem has escalated in the past fortnight - there are now 482 active cases in the state of Victoria. The numbers remain below Australia's March peak, but what's concerning to authorities is that local transmission is now the key source of infections. Previously, most cases were coming from travellers returning from overseas. Australia's curve flattened rapidly three months ago with the enforcement of lockdowns and mandatory hotel quarantines for people entering the country. It has had about 8,000 cases in total and 104 deaths. In every other state, the virus has been dramatically slowed or eradicated. So what's gone wrong in Victoria? There have been failures in hotel quarantine Premier Daniel Andrews has pinpointed the origin of many infections to workers overseeing hotel quarantines breaking the rules. More than 20,000 travellers have gone through 14-day quarantine in the state. A report which traced Covid-19's mutation in Victoria found that hotel staff cases were the \"ancestors\" of ones found later in suburban homes. So how did the virus spread? Allegations of blame have been levelled at private security firms contracted to operate the state's quarantine. Neighbouring New South Wales took a different approach - using the police force. Victoria has faced accusations of systemic failures such as guards being improperly trained or not given enough PPE. Mr Andrews has also described cases of illegal socialising between staff, listing examples of workers sharing a cigarette lighter or car-pooling. Local media also reported claims of sex between guards and quarantined travellers. The government has ordered a judicial inquiry into their quarantine operation and fired the contractors. Unlike in many states, the virus had been 'seeded' In early May - during Australia's lockdown - authorities expressed concern about a virus cluster among workers at an abattoir in Melbourne's west. About 111 cases were eventually linked to the site, which had been the subject of a rapid trace-and-track response from authorities. Lockdown restrictions eased a month later, allowing people to again visit friends and family, and enjoy other freedoms such as eating out at restaurants. But experts believe that secondary cases from that cluster - and possibly others - were still festering undetected in the community. \"It seeded the population… and there were enough cases out there when the precautions relaxed,\" Prof John Matthews from the University of Melbourne tells the BBC. Some became complacent as freedoms returned With the relaxation of lockdown and Australia's apparent success, the public also became less vigilant, experts say. Officials were still exhorting social distancing, but group limits were expanded. Large family groups reconnected and some cases stemmed from people with mild symptoms attending those gatherings, authorities said. \"Once the feeling got around that it was over - when it really wasn't - Victoria copped it,\" says Prof Matthews. Allegations of poor messaging to non-English-speaking communities The locked-down \"hotspots\" in Melbourne's north and west are also home to large migrant communities. Leaders from those areas have argued that communication of public health orders was insufficient for non-English speakers, and this was exacerbated as restrictions rapidly changed throughout May. Given Melbourne's significantly multicultural make-up - a language other than English is spoken in almost 35% of households - this was a notable oversight, critics said. Researchers have also found that translations were inadequate, materials weren't being circulated, and there were even allegations of government agencies falsifying communications. It's also just 'bad luck', experts say Authorities have always emphasised that such outbreaks would be inevitable once Australia's lockdown lifted. In recent weeks, they've said the situation in Victoria could have happened anywhere. So why Melbourne and not Sydney, for instance - Australia's other comparably sized city? Sydney has Australia's busiest airport and exited lockdown two weeks before Melbourne. It also, broadly, had looser lockdown measures. Health officials have said that much of it is probably a matter of \"bad luck\". The genomic report has added some more information - that similar violations in hotel quarantine have not been reported in Sydney. The report has not been released publicly but has been referenced by state officials. But much of the whole-picture evidence remains circumstantial, says Prof Mathews, who adds that Victorians have been unfortunate to experience both the meatworks and quarantine issues. So what now? Other states have banned travel to and from the Melbourne \"hotspots\", and implemented other measures. Prof Matthews says authorities are \"throwing everything at it\" to halt the spread \"but nevertheless, we're at quite a critical stage\". \"If you can't stop the spread - you lose control - you get to the stage where you can't keep up with contract tracing… essentially what happened in Europe and North America.\" For now, Australia remains in a far better position than most nations. Only 23 people with the virus are in hospital in Victoria, and testing is widespread and rigorous - over 2.5 million tests have been conducted in a national population of 25 million. \"It's hard to say where we'll be in a month's time\", says Prof Mathews. \"We used to say Australia's response was one of the best in the world. And we can still say that, but with the qualification that we got caught.\" Reporting by the BBC's Frances Mao",

            "input": "It comes as the government was criticised for not increasing the number of tests more quickly. Currently, there are around 10,000 tests being carried out a day. The new target includes swab tests, which are already in use, and blood tests, which are yet to be launched. It was originally thought the target would be for the whole of the UK, but the government later issued a correction saying the goal will only be for England. The number of people with the virus who have died in the UK has risen by 569, taking the total to 2,921 as of 17:00 BST on Wednesday. Speaking at the end of his seven days of quarantine after testing positive for the virus, Mr Hancock said 100,000 tests \"is the goal and I'm determined we'll get there\". The five points in Mr Hancock's plan, which are designed to combine to deliver the new target, are: Mr Hancock said that the UK wants to buy 17.5 million antibody tests, \"subject to them working\". He added that the government was working with nine companies who have offered the blood tests - but he added \"they have got to work\" and the government will not allow them to be rolled out if they are not effective. Labour's shadow health secretary Jonathan Ashworth welcomed the new target but said it was \"not the 250,000 Boris Johnson promised\". Mr Hancock said the government still hopes to get to 250,000. Mr Ashworth also called for more clarity and details, asking how many of the 100,000 tests will be blood tests, and what role testing will play in the government's \"exit strategy\" to end the lockdown. On Wednesday, there was capacity for 12,799 daily tests in England - although just 10,650 people were tested. The government's target by mid-April had been to test 25,000 per day. Latest figures show 163,194 people in the UK had so far been tested for the virus, of which 33,718 were confirmed positive. In Wales, the Welsh Government plans to increase testing up to 9,000 a day by the end of April, while Scotland had a goal of 3,500 by the same deadline. Key questions remain After days of mounting criticism, the five-point testing plan was an attempt to reassure the public the government is on top of the issue. But key questions remain. There are basically two broad types of tests despite the five separate points - one to diagnose the presence of the virus and one to identify whether an individual has had it in the past (the so-called antibody test). In the coming week or two, the diagnostic test is the priority. Staff need access to them to allow them to return to work if they fear they have or their household members have symptoms. In the longer-term, the antibody test comes into play. The big unknown is how many people have been exposed to the virus without knowing it because they did not show symptoms. There are suggestions as many as half of infected cases may fall into this category. That could be vital in deciding what to do once the impact of lockdown is felt in falling numbers of cases and deaths. If there has been widespread infection it reduces the likelihood of a second wave and continued spread of the virus. The problem is the ability to hit the goal set - 100,000 tests a day - is out of the government's hands. A global shortage of the chemicals and kits for the diagnostic test is a serious difficulty. What is more, there are no guarantees the antibody tests the UK government is looking to use will work. Mr Hancock also said there had been problems with some tests being inaccurate. \"In one case a test that I'm being urged to buy missed three out of four positive cases for coronavirus,\" he explained. \"That means that three-quarters of cases, that test would have given the false comfort of sending someone with coronavirus back on the wards. Approving tests that don't work is dangerous and I will not do it.\" Earlier, senior health officials said they were \"frustrated\" by the UK's lack of progress in expanding testing, and the current figures were \"nowhere near where we need to get to\". Some critics pointed out the UK was well behind countries like Germany in testing, but Mr Hancock said the UK \"didn't go into this crisis with a huge diagnostics industry\" like other countries. What are the tests for coronavirus? There are two main types of coronavirus test that are useful in fighting the epidemic: The antigen or \"have I got coronavirus now?\" test will tell you if someone is currently infected and risks spreading it to others. That's the one that is being used to check very ill patients in hospitals and will now be rolled out to NHS staff too. The antibody or \"have I recently had coronavirus\" test is not available to the public yet but Public Health England is ordering it in the millions and will distribute it as soon as they are confident about its accuracy. That would help tell us how many people got coronavirus with no or only mild symptoms. Both are vital to get a better handle on how to stop the spread of this deadly disease. NHS England medical director Stephen Powis told the briefing there were \"reasons to be hopeful\" - including that there is early evidence the transmission rate had fallen to below one, meaning each infected person infects less than one person. \"That's important because if it's the case that we are no longer passing the virus on to multiple people, so to less than one person for everyone who is infected, then that is additional evidence that infections are going to reduce,\" he said. But he added people should not become complacent, adding that they are \"reasons to continue\" with the social distancing measures. The warning came hours before the number of confirmed infections globally passed one million, according to the latest figures from Johns Hopkins University. Also announced at the press briefing:",

Ryanair, which has has always favoured Boeing aircraft and remains one of the few all-Boeing carriers, said it had received a discount on the price, but did not reveal how deep a discount. The order is for the current generation 737s, whose 737-800 model list price is $89.1m, but large orders typically involve a discount, which could cut the price paid to half that.

Problems Boeing's reputation has taken a blow in recent months after its latest Dreamliner 787 planes were grounded after batteries on some planes emitted smoke.

He added that they were working hard to get the issue sorted out. Ryanair chief executive Michael O'Leary said he was happy to back Boeing: \"Hopefully it will help refocus people's minds on the fact that Boeing continues to deliver great aircraft and is growing strongly, rather than a minor issue on the 787.\" Donal O'Neill, an analyst with Goodbody Stockbrokers in Dublin, said the order was good for both sides: \"This order puts Ryanair back on track for growth at a time when many European airlines are shrinking. \"For Boeing it keeps a major customer on board and helps position it to hook Ryanair for an order of the [next-generation] 737-Max in a few year's time.\" Boeing 737s compete mainly with Airbus's A320s in the short-to-medium range, narrow body jet market.

It is being spent on hospitals and also in the community in the hope that some visits to accident and emergency can be prevented. Below is a look at just some of the things that are happening. Extra staff The most obvious step is to ensure there are more doctors and nurses in emergency departments. In England, the government says the £700m of extra winter money is paying for the equivalent of 1,000 extra doctors and 2,000 nurses. This does not mean new staff are being appointed. Instead, existing staff are encouraged to work overtime - or staff are diverted from elsewhere in the hospital to A&E. Agency staff are also likely to be taken on. Working with care homes Care homes are a major source of admissions because of the frail nature of their residents. The issue has prompted some hospitals to start working more closely with care homes. Nurses and doctors from Airedale Hospital in West Yorkshire have set up video links with local care homes. This allows consultations to take place with residents on everything from cuts and bumps to diabetes management. Putting GPs in A&Es Research suggests a quarter of visits to A&E are unnecessary. Some hospitals have responded by placing GPs in A&E units to see to those patients who do not need emergency care. In Merseyside, nearly £1m has been set aside to locate GPs at the Royal Liverpool Hospital and Alder Hey Hospital. The doctors will be mainly focused on weekends when community GP surgeries are closed. NHS bosses say it is a \"pragmatic way\" of dealing with demands. Helping manage ambulance queues Paramedics are meant to hand over patients to staff within 15 minutes of arriving at an A&E. But during busy periods this can take much longer. Some hospitals are spending money on appointing Halos - hospital ambulance liaison officers. Their job is to liaise with crews and A&E staff before delays escalate. Some of the extra money earmarked for winter in Northern Ireland is being spent on these posts, while the North East Ambulance Service in England has taken on three to manage queues at local hospitals. Recruiting the giant yellow men Launched last year, the yellow man campaign was aimed at encouraging people to use alternatives to A&E. The 7ft statues have ailments such as sore throats, upset tummies and coughs and colds that do not need to be treated at A&E. The statues - and poster versions - give people information on where else they can go for help. The south London borough of Lambeth is one of the areas that is repeating the campaign with bosses there saying it proved a good way of raising awareness about the need to use only A&E when necessary.",

It is the largest tearoom interior designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh for Miss Cranston's Ingram Street tearoom. \"He was working on this at the height of his career, designing it in 1907, completed in 1908.\" The journey of the conservation to the point of displaying this interior has been a long and very painstaking project, which has further revealed the intricacies of Mackintosh's design process. It has involved very specialist crafts people and experts, almost all based in Scotland. The process began in Midlothian. Charles Taylor runs the wood workshop where the 43ft (13m) high Oak Room was initially restored and rebuilt. He said: \"Our workshop is in a former church in the centre of Dalkeith. It is a substantial building and it was just big enough to house the entire assembly of the Oak Room. \"The first step was to take some 850 pieces and to set out the room and it formed a massive 3-D jigsaw puzzle.\" The Oak Room The Oak Room was the largest Charles Rennie Mackintosh interior for Miss Cranston's Ingram Street Tearooms in Glasgow. The 44ft-long (13.5m), double-height room, designed by Mackintosh in 1907 and completed in 1908, is acknowledged as one of his key works, informing his design ideas for the Glasgow School of Art Library, which was completed a year later in 1909. The Oak Room was last used as a tearoom in the early 1950s. When the tearooms were removed from their original Ingram Street premises in the 1970s, each room was numbered, each wall given a reference, and each piece of panelling coded. Plans and elevations of the rooms were drawn to show how everything fitted together. Between 2004 and 2005, with the help of this information, Glasgow Museums quantified and documented all surviving Oak Room panelling. This earlier developmental stage, funded by the Scottish Government, helped inform the work to recreate the interior, lost to public view for generations. Saved from demolition to make way for a hotel in 1971, the original rooms had already been hidden under layers of paint in the 1950s. Charles Taylor explained: \"There was clearly a big spring clean and they decided to brighten up the room, which was covered in a bright grain finish. \"That in itself was an asset, because it provided all the marks to position the pieces back to precisely where they were.\" Also discovered beneath the layers of paint, was the distinctive pink glass Mackintosh had used. Moira Malcolm, director of Rainbow Glass Studio, had the challenge of recreating it. She said: \"\"He chose this pink-purple streaky glass and the lampshades were actually the most simplistic design he possibly could make. They are really just four segments of glass boxed together. \"So, really, it was just showing, finding beautiful materials, made well in a simple design to maximum effect.\" 'Poignant and important' To many, the Oak Room is Mackintosh's lost masterpiece. The direction he develops here, is further developed in the Glasgow School of Art Library. Its loss in the fire of 2014 makes this restoration more poignant and more important. It's been a long process involving many different partners. And they can't wait to see their work on public display for the first time in decades.",

But his views were challenged by EU Economic Affairs Commissioner Olli Rehn, who said: \"We are not working on the scenario of a Greek exit. \"We are working on the basis of a scenario of Greece staying in. We do not comment on speculative issues,\" he said in a statement. 'Emergency scenarios' A new opinion poll suggests Greek voters are turning back to parties which supported the recent bailout and the austerity measures it required. Believed to be the first survey taken since the date of the new election - 17 June - was announced, the Marc poll for Greek TV channel Alpha indicates that the conservative New Democracy (ND) party has overtaken the far-left Syriza. Fitch Ratings Agency has downgraded five Greek banks to CCC from B-minus. It similarly lowered Greece's credit rating on Thursday, citing the heightened risk that the country might have to leave the eurozone. During the eurozone crisis Brussels has insisted that it wants to keep Greece in the euro, while demanding that Athens fulfil pledges to cut spending. \"Today, whether within the European Central Bank or the European Commission, services are studying emergency scenarios where Greece cannot manage,\" Mr De Gucht told De Standaard. He added that \"a Greek exit does not mean the end of the euro, as some claim\". He did not give details of the plans being made in Brussels and Frankfurt - the headquarters of the Commission and ECB.

            "input": "By Liam AllenEntertainment reporter, BBC News When PJ Harvey became the first woman to win the Mercury Prize on 11 September 2001, she gave an emotional acceptance speech over the telephone from Washington DC. It's a moment she can barely remember. \"Ten years ago feels like such a surreal experience - I'm sure for everybody - that my only memory of the day really is being in the hotel room and watching television and seeing the Pentagon burning,\" Harvey said after accepting the prize for a second time at a ceremony in London. Were it not for events in the US on that day 10 years ago, her winning album, Let England Shake, would be very different. Her eighth solo record is a song cycle of visceral narratives about England in conflict, from World War I to fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan. \"Obviously this record that I've won tonight with is largely about the wars that we are involved in,\" said Harvey. \"Contemporary wars - but also, in a way, I wanted it to be timeless because we've always been involved in wars. \"But I think the greater urgency that I felt to write an album like this now is because of the result of what has happened in the last 10 years.\" The power of Let England Shake lies in the marriage of often brutal lyrical imagery with folk melodies and driving rhythm. \"I was writing in a very different way to how I'd ever written before - working largely on the words for a long time in advance and trying to get them to work in a strong way for themselves to begin with before even thinking of music,\" she said. The strength of those lyrics is felt nowhere more forcefully than in The Words That Maketh Murder - performed by Harvey earlier in the evening. \"I've seen and done things I want to forget, I've seen soldiers fall like lumps of meat,\" it began. Sonic bubbles \"Death lingering, stunk, flies swarming everyone,\" it continued as Harvey strummed along on her autoharp while her band provided a toe-tapping shuffle backing. The singer, whose full name is Polly Jean Harvey, wore a white leather bodice and a headdress of feathers - designed, she said, to reflect the themes of her record. Other performance highlights on the night included James Blake - described earlier on the red carpet by fellow nominee Tinie Tempah as the coolest man in pop - whose blissed-out song The Wilhelm Scream crescendoed into a climax that bathed the Grosvenor House Hotel ballroom in sonic bubbles. Rapper Ghostpoet, meanwhile, energised a room full of music executives with a rocking rendition of single Cash And Carry Me Home that contrasted with the sparse minimalism of the recorded version of the song. And it was inevitably left to Elbow's Guy Garvey to inject a large dose of sentimentality into proceedings as he pointed to the sky to implore \"Let's build a rocket boys\" on Lippy Kids, the track that gave the band's album its title. Asked by host Jools Holland - as all the acts were - to speak to the audience after their performance, Garvey said the band had enjoyed \"the best time we've had in the studio for 20 years on account of being honoured with the Mercury award in 2008\" for The Seldom Seen Kid. The only one of the acts who declined to say a few words was Anna Calvi - nominated for her eponymous debut album - who some have described as a younger version of 41-year-old Harvey. Off stage, the 28-year-old is much quieter than Wednesday night's winner but, as proved by her performance of Desire, give Calvi a Fender Telecaster and a microphone and she exudes seductive strength. Red carpet It was a source of regret for all present that the single most powerful enigma in British pop music was unable to sing because of a chest infection that has led to a series of cancelled gigs. Instead, Adele took to the stage to tell host Holland how \"gutted\" she was not to be performing from nominated album 21, swearing as she did so. Speaking to the BBC News website earlier on the red carpet, PJ Harvey said Adele was her favourite to win. But while Harvey is a big fan of her \"very moving\" voice, she is perhaps less likely to be as captivated by Adele's songwriting ethic. The 23-year-old recently revealed she had not written a song since 21 was finished. Harvey, in marked contrast, is \"a writer that works all the time\". \"I work every day and already my work's begun to develop into what will be the next project and I'd like to go even further into what I began with this record,\" she says. \"And I'd like to be back here again in another 10 years' time with another record.\"",

            "input": "By James GallagherHealth and science reporter, BBC News The cloned embryos were used as a source of stem cells, which can make new heart muscle, bone, brain tissue or any other type of cell in the body. The study, published in the journal Cell, used methods like those that produced Dolly the sheep in the UK. However, researchers say other sources of stem cells may be easier, cheaper and less controversial. Opponents say it is unethical to experiment on human embryos and have called for a ban. Stem cells are one of the great hopes for medicine. Being able to create new tissue might be able to heal the damage caused by a heart attack or repair a severed spinal cord. There are already trials taking place using stem cells taken from donated embryos to restore people's sight. However, these donated cells do not match the patient so they would be rejected by the body. Cloning bypasses this problem. The technique used - somatic cell nuclear transfer - has been well-known since Dolly the sheep became the first mammal to be cloned, in 1996. Skin cells were taken from an adult and the genetic information was placed inside a donor egg which had been stripped of its own DNA. Electricity was used to encourage the egg to develop into an embryo. However, researchers have struggled to reproduce the feat in people. The egg does start dividing, but never goes past the 6-12 cell stage. 'Real deal' A South Korean scientist, Hwang Woo-suk, did claim to have created stem cells from cloned human embryos, but was found to have faked the evidence. Now a team at the Oregon Health and Science University have developed the embryo to the blastocyst stage - around 150 cells - which is enough to provide a source of embryonic stem cells. Dr Shoukhrat Mitalipov said: \"A thorough examination of the stem cells derived through this technique demonstrated their ability to convert just like normal embryonic stem cells, into several different cell types, including nerve cells, liver cells and heart cells. \"While there is much work to be done in developing safe and effective stem cell treatments, we believe this is a significant step forward in developing the cells that could be used in regenerative medicine.\" Chris Mason, a professor of regenerative medicine at University College London, said this looked like \"the real deal\". \"They've done the same as the Wright brothers really. They've looked around at where are all the best bits of how to do this from different groups all over the place and basically amalgamated it. \"The Wright brothers took off and this has actually managed to make embryonic stem cells.\" The ethical rival Embryonic stem cell research has repeatedly raised ethical concerns and human eggs are a scarce resource. This has led researchers to an alternative route to stem cells. The technique takes the same sample of skin cells but converts them using proteins to \"induced pluripotent\" stem cells. However, there are still questions about the quality of stem cells produced using this method compared with embryonic stem cells. Prof Mason said the field was leaning towards induced pluripotent stem cells: \"It has got a lot of momentum behind it, a lot of funding and a lot of powerful people now.\" Dr Lyle Armstrong, at Newcastle University, said that the study \"without doubt\" marked an advance for the field. But he warned: \"Ultimately, the costs of somatic cell nuclear transfer-based methods for making stem cells could be prohibitive.\" Opponents of the new technique argue that all embryos, whether created in the lab or not, have the potential to go on to become a fully-fledged human, and as such it is morally wrong to experiment on them. They strongly advocate the use of stem cells from adult tissue. Dr David King, from the campaign group Human Genetics Alert, warned that: \"Scientists have finally delivered the baby that would-be human cloners have been waiting for: a method for reliably creating cloned human embryos. \"This makes it imperative that we create an international legal ban on human cloning before any more research like this takes place. It is irresponsible in the extreme to have published this research.\" However advocates of the new technique say that the embryos created from this technique could never become viable human beings.",

Every now and then my mother would give it a polish with some Brasso. \"I inherited the bell and, to be honest, it's been kept in a box in the loft and in a cupboard in the garage.\" After finding no-one in her family wanted it she took it to be valued and now hopes a collector or museum might like it. Mr Brenchley, from Derbyshire-based auctioneers Hansons, said: \"It's thought the bell was in a large building, possibly a monastery of the time. It's a wonderfully detailed work for the period.\"",

            "input": "By John CampbellBBC News NI Economics & Business Editor The Canadian firm put the factories up for sale in May as part of a reorganisation of its business. The aerospace manufacturer employs about 3,600 people in Northern Ireland. Spirit, which is based in Kansas, is a major supplier to Airbus and Boeing. Earlier this year the company said it wanted to do more work for Airbus. Buying Bombardier's Northern Ireland operation is part of that strategy. The wings for the Airbus A220 are made at Bombardier Belfast's plant and it also supplies other Airbus parts, particularly engine covers. Spirit is also buying a Bombardier factory is Morocco and a repair facility in the US. Analysis: A strategic purchase for Spirit The Bombardier workforce in Northern Ireland has suffered years of cuts and uncertainty. At one point the Canadian firm was on the brink of insolvency. A new owner for the Belfast operations should bring some stability for the workforce and a long-term focus for the business. This is a strategic purchase for Spirit - it sees Belfast as a key part of its plan to do more work with Airbus. The trade unions are happy that the business has gone to a trade buyer rather than a private equity fund. The deal - in which Spirit is paying $500m and taking on $700m of liabilities, including pension commitments - is expected to close in the first half 2020. Michael Ryan, Bombardier's chief operating officer of aerostructures, said employees would be updated about how it impacts them in due course. He added: \"We are delighted that Spirit, a global, tier-one aerostructure manufacturer and supplier, has recognised our unique offering and growth potential.\" ADS, the UK trade organisation representing the aerospace industry, said: \"With the future of the operations assured, the exceptional workforce at the Belfast facility will now be able to continue to use their world-class expertise and skills as an integral part of the aerospace industry \"We look forward to working closely with Spirit as they continue to grow their UK footprint.\" The deal would be strategic for Spirit, an aerospace components maker, as it diversifies its customer base away from Boeing, analysts say. Chief executive Tom Gentile said the Belfast operation brings \"world-class engineering expertise to Spirit\". \"Belfast has developed an impressive position in business jet fuselage production, in addition to the world-acclaimed fully integrated A220 composite wing,\" he said. \"This acquisition is in line with our growth strategy of increasing Airbus content, developing low-cost country footprint, and growing our aftermarket business.\" What is Spirit AeroSystems? The move is part of Bombardier's plan to shed its commercial aviation business to focus on its higher-margin business jets and rail divisions. The Belfast factory will remain a major supplier to Bombardier's business jet programmes. The company said: \"Spirit will continue to supply structural aircraft components and spare parts to support the production and in-service fleet of Bombardier Aviation's Learjet, Challenger and Global families of aircraft.\" The deal has been broadly welcomed by politicians and those in the business community. The Unite union said the sale offered hope for a positive future for Bombardier workers in Northern Ireland, while the GMB union said it would be seeking talks with Spirit's management \"to get assurances on jobs, terms and conditions and pensions\". Bombardier, which is based in Montreal, has more than 68,000 employees in 28 countries and the Belfast factory is the largest hi-tech manufacturer in Northern Ireland. Last year, it reported a lower quarterly profit as it stepped up the production of its Global 7500 business. Spirit posted a 22% drop in quarterly profit, mainly due to charge related to the 787 Dreamliner aircraft.",

The trust's engineering director Andrew Edmondson added: \"There is no possibility of rectification if an error is made. We are not saying we cannot do it, just that it is risky so other factors must be taken into account. \"From the start of the 2014 season, it is unlikely that we could accommodate any engine failures. \"There are no more airworthy engines available, and refurbishment would be so difficult and costly that there is no possibility that it will happen.\" The Vulcan to the Sky Trust, which has kept the bomber in the skies for six years, said it needed in excess of £1m to carry out repairs and maintenance in coming months. It was restored at Bruntingthorpe in Leicestershire with the majority of the funding coming from public donations and the Heritage Lottery Fund. The Vulcan XH558 took its first flight on 25 May 1960 and was originally built to carry nuclear weapons but was only ever used as a nuclear deterrent.

Shropshire and Telford Hospital NHS Trust (SaTH) says staff shortages have prompted the move.

The rally in Wellington, Shropshire, also highlighted fears about burdening neighbouring hospitals to where patients will be sent instead.

The BBC understands the figure to be accurate. SaTH says the move is temporary and set to last six months, between the hours of 20:00 and 08:00. It says it is also motivated by patient safety and cites a lack of specialist staff affecting its sites.

            "input": "President Donald Trump tweeted Mr Coats would step down in mid-August and that he would nominate the Texan congressman John Ratcliffe to replace him. He said Mr Ratcliffe would lead and \"inspire greatness for the country\" he loved. Mr Coats and Mr Trump have often been at odds over Russia and North Korea. As director of national intelligence, it was Mr Coats' role to oversee all 17 US intelligence agencies, including the CIA and NSA. But throughout his tenure, Mr Coats' assessments were routinely contradicted by the president, who has been critical of intelligence agencies. In January the president called his intelligence chiefs passive and naive in their assessment of the threat posed by Iran. Mr Coats is the latest in a string of Trump administration officials to leave the White House, former Defence Secretary James Mattis and Secretary of State Rex Tillerson among them. Why has Mr Coats left his post? In his resignation letter to the president, Mr Coats said America's intelligence community had become \"stronger than ever\" during his two-and-half-year tenure. \"As a result, I now believe it is time for me to move on to the next chapter of my life,\" he wrote. Mr Coats said in February the president had asked him to stay in the post, yet their differences on foreign policy appeared irreconcilable at times. In particular, they clashed on Russian interference in US elections, the Iran nuclear deal and Mr Trump's attempts at rapprochement with North Korea. Citing a former senior intelligence official, the Washington Post reported that Mr Coats came to see his departure as inevitable given his troubled relationship with Mr Trump. Mr Coats, the former official told the newspaper, felt marginalised by the president on issues of national security. Last year, the intelligence chief admitted that Mr Trump did not brief him about his behind-closed-doors meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Helsinki. \"If he had asked me how that ought to be conducted, I would have suggested a different way,\" Mr Coats said of their summit. He had laughed in surprise when he heard about a proposed visit of President Putin to the White House, telling crowds at a public event: \"That's going to be special.\" Mr Coats' views also diverged from the president's on North Korea. In January, Mr Coats told Congress North Korea was unlikely to give up its nuclear weapons, contradicting a statement by Mr Trump that Pyongyang no longer posed a threat. Who is Dan Coats? A former diplomat, Mr Coats has served as director of national intelligence since March 2017, when he succeeded James Clapper. Born in Jackson, Michigan, Mr Coats graduated from two universities with degrees in political science and law in the 1960s. He served two terms as a Republican senator for Indiana, from 1989 to 1999 and again from 2011 to 2017. Mr Coats also served as the US ambassador to Germany from 2001 to 2005 in between his terms in the Senate. Who is his replacement? A prominent supporter of the president and his policies, Mr Ratcliffe has served as the congressman for Texas' 4th District since 2015. Mr Trump said Mr Ratcliffe was a \"highly respected congressman\" who \"will lead and inspire greatness for the country he loves\". Providing his nomination is approved, Mr Ratcliffe's views are expected to chime with Mr Trump's more often in his new role. Last Wednesday, Mr Ratcliffe defended the president during the testimony of former special counsel Robert Mueller, who led a two-year investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election. Mr Mueller said he had not exonerated Mr Trump of obstruction of justice, which formed part of his inquiry. Mr Ratcliffe said the special counsel did not have the authority \"to determine Trump's innocence or to exonerate him\". Criticising Mr Ratcliffe's appointment, Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer said \"it's clear that Rep Ratcliffe was selected because he exhibited blind loyalty to President Trump with his demagogic questioning of ... Mueller\".",

Details of all of the 2015 winners will be published here on the BBC news website from 21:30 BST. The Oliviers, now in their 39th year, celebrate the London theatre scene. The best actor race sees Mark Strong and Richard Armitage nominated for their roles in Arthur Miller plays A View from the Bridge and The Crucible respectively. They are up against James McAvoy for The Ruling Class and Tim Pigott-Smith for King Charles III. The latter, Mike Bartlett's blank verse vision of a future monarchy, has six nominations in total, including best play and best director for Rupert Goold. Also up for best play are the Royal Shakespeare Company's adaptations of Wolf Hall and Bring Up the Bodies, \"dark net\" thriller The Nether, and Taken at Midnight - which stars best actress nominee Penelope Wilton as the mother of a young German lawyer imprisoned by the Nazis. Joining Wilton on the best actress shortlist are Gillian Anderson for A Streetcar Named Desire, Dame Kristin Scott Thomas for Electra, and Imelda Staunton for Good People. In the best new musical category, Memphis and Beautiful face competition from the Kinks-inspired Sunny Afternoon and Here Lies Love. Based on the life of Imelda Marcos, David Byrne and Fatboy Slim's musical transformed the National Theatre's Dorfman stage into a nightclub. Dame Angela Lansbury is up for best supporting actress for her role as eccentric medium Madame Arcati in Blithe Spirit. \"No one can stand in the way of Angela Lansbury winning an Olivier for her West End comeback after over 40 years away, and no one should,\" said theatre critic Mark Shenton in his list of predictions for The Stage. The veteran actress is up against Phoebe Fox for A View From the Bridge, the girls playing Iris for The Nether, and Lydia Wilson for King Charles III. The ceremony will include performances from many of this year's nominated shows. Best actress in a musical nominees Beverley Knight and Katie Brayben will perform songs from Memphis and Beautiful.

The expert, who began his testimony last week, had speculated that Jackson took an extra, lethal dose of the sedative without Dr Murray's knowledge. Dr Murray denies charges of involuntary manslaughter. If convicted, he could face up to four years in jail and lose his licence to practise medicine. Dr Murray has said he administered propofol to Jackson, a powerful anaesthetic normally used in surgery, to help him sleep. After lengthy cross-examination, Dr White, who has been called the \"father of propofol\", said that the drug was not usually used to treat insomnia, describing it as \"complete off-label use of the drug\". But he said Dr Murray could have loaded a syringe with propofol and left it in a place where Jackson could access it. Jackson could have woken up from sedation and injected additional propofol into his intravenous (IV) tube, Dr White speculated. During his cross-examination Dr White conceded that Dr Murray may have lied to emergency room doctors when he did not tell them he had given propofol to Jackson in the hours before his death. \"I think it was something that he overlooked,\" Dr White said initially, before admitting lying was an \"option\". The anaesthesiologist added that Dr Murray should have called 911 earlier. 'Pushing propofol' The prosecution also asked Dr White if he thought Dr Murray had violated the doctor's oath to \"do no harm\" to his patient. \"I think he was providing a service to Mr Jackson that he had requested and in fact insisted on,\" Dr White replied. But he told the court he would not have accepted such a job. \"It's something no amount of money could convince me to take on,\" Dr White testified. The witness also said when a patient was being given a \"relatively small dose\" of 25ml it may be acceptable for the doctor to leave his patient's bedside after 15 to 30 minutes. After further questioning, when the prosecution referred to a statement made by Dr Murray that Jackson used to \"push the propofol\" into himself, the witness said under those circumstances he would not have left the room. It is alleged that Dr Murray left Jackson alone on a propofol drip for two minutes to use the bathroom. When he returned, the singer was unresponsive. After Dr White delivers his testimony, the prosecution and defence are expected to deliver their closing arguments.",

Branded with an ace of spades and sleek metallic bottles, the drink can cost hundreds of pounds a bottle or more. The rapper, whose given name is Shawn Carter, has owned the brand since 2014. Made at a French winemaking house with roots in the 1600s, Armand de Brignac has been the bubbly of choice for some sports championship celebrations in the US and won accolades at international taste testing competitions. The brand sold 900,000 bottles in 2019, before the pandemic hit champagne sales. Power to grow In announcing the deal, Jay-Z said the partnership with LVMH, which owns other established champagne names such as Dom Perignon and Veuve Cliquot, would help the brand grow. \"We are confident that the sheer power of the Moët Hennessy global distribution framework, its unparalleled portfolio strength and its long-established track record of excellence in developing luxury brands will give Armand de Brignac the commercial power it needs to grow and flourish even further,\" he said. Financial details of the deal have not been not disclosed. Historic luxury houses have been on the hunt for ways to appeal to younger customers, although some experiments - such as LVMH's collaboration with singer Rihanna on a fashion line - have foundered. Phillippe Schaus, president of LVMH's spirit group Moët Hennessy, said his company had been interested in the brand for its appeal to a \"global and diverse luxury consumer\". \"For years we have been following the fantastic success of Armand de Brignac and admiring their ability to challenge some of the rules of the Champagne category,\" he said. \"Armand de Brignac breaks barriers and reflects contemporary luxury, while preserving the traditions of the Champagne terroirs.\" Jay-Z, who has been married to singer Beyoncé since 2008, emerged in the 1990s as a star rapper. He later turned his success into a sprawling business empire that includes investments in record labels, sports teams, clothing brands and alcohol and has made him a billionaire. His collaboration with Armand de Brignac started in 2006, after a fallout with the owners of Cristal champagne, which was previously his brand of choice. He took full ownership of the Armand de Brignac brand in 2014. In 2006, He organised a boycott of Cristal after an executive hinted in an interview that he did not like the association between his product and rappers, who had made the drink more popular.",

But when a parishioner credited the Facebook page for her decision to return to the church, then he felt the strategy had started to work. Weekly posts on the social media page of the church which simply asked \"How can we pray for you today?\" resonated with the woman going through a divorce last Christmas. \"Sometimes it can be daunting to turn up in person to a service so connecting online, more anonymously, can make it easier to take that first step into the building which happened here,\" he adds. Getting more people through the door is a challenge for the Church of England. Its own figures show that attendance at services has gradually fallen by between 10% and 20% from 2007 and 2017. However, while physical attendance has been in decline, digital efforts appear to be gaining traction. According to the church's data, monthly reach on social media has doubled from 1.2 million in 2017 to 2.44 million in 2018. Under the Digital Labs programme, more than 2,000 C of E parishes have attended sessions across the country since 2018, getting advice on Facebook, Instagram, SEO and sharing best practice. Mr Harries runs blog writing master classes. \"Attendance at our Sunday service has gone from 15 to 80 in the last few years and we're the fastest growing in the Blackburn diocese and part of this is down a strong digital presence,\" he says. \"However, it's important to remember that it is a shop window for your church and then it's down to the church whether people stay and remain engaged, which is why we're always looking at how we can improve.\" More Technology of Business High on its agenda are plans to extend opening hours, and tech is helping with that challenge as well. Many rural churches stay closed outside of the scheduled services to deter vandalism and crime. Thanks to an infrared digital tracker, Revesby St Lawrence in Lincolnshire discovered that hundreds of people were arriving at the venue only to find it shut. In response the church revised its opening hours. At St Mary's in Chartham, Kent, the deployment of a high-quality CCTV system means the building can be left open. \"Some of the old guard were worried about theft, but we were determined to be open and available to the whole community,\" says churchwarden Robert Allen. \"I was speaking to one woman whose grandson was seriously ill and had come into pray one weekday afternoon. \"She said that she didn't want to attend services but liked being on her own when it was quiet, which wouldn't have been possible before. Many people are coming here outside of the main services simply for contemplation.\" Specialist software For the time being, the camera also serves as a makeshift attendance monitor while the parish applies for a digital counter to keep track of congregation growth. Attendance figures have an impact on the level of income a parish pays to the diocese, known as the Parish Share, so keeping an eye of the numbers is imperative, Robert says. \"If you don't pay a Parish Share, you don't get a priest, it's simple as that. The amount covers all clergy expenses, salaries and pensions.\" It explains why a growing number of churches are using specialist software. Churchsuite is a cloud-based church management system, which currently has around 1,800 churches of all sizes and denominations. Aside from reporting the numbers, managing director Gavin Courtney claims the tool can drive engagement with members whose commitment may be wavering, though he adds the use of technology in this capacity can sit uneasily with some traditionalists. \"It can back up a hunch; if the vicar thinks that a particular member of the congregation hasn't been around as much as usual, they can check the numbers on Churchsuite and if confirmed, reach out to that person. \"There are some who believe that the clergy should just be able to sense if someone is drifting away from church and that it's really more of a pastoral issue, but in larger organisations this may not always be possible.\" While UK parishes have trailed the US market in using this kind of software, Mr Courtney cites legislative demands such as General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) which have prioritised data management as driving a surge in usage. Increasingly, the technology is being used to manage all aspects of parish life, including organising the rota for flower arranging (an \"historic mess\" to sort out manually, says Mr Courtney), planning the electoral roll and handling finances. \"There's more online giving and gift aid claims to deal with now, and more opportunity in using data to anticipate how much income is coming in, which was never really the case before,\" adds Mr Courtney. Indeed, the Reverend Margaret Cave of Christchurch East Greenwich has seen first-hand how more flexibility over payment has left her church less reliant on people having loose change, having trialled a contactless collection plate. \"Where we would traditionally just pass around the velvet collection bag, we now use a contactless card reader as well, which has increased donations,\" she says, though doesn't want to be drawn on figures. \"In fact, because my curate is leaving, we set up the card reader with several donation options the other day and ended up raising £200 for his present from the congregation who were using their Apple watches to pay.\" \"Of course, there's some members who prefer to stick with cash but there's been no resistance. It's so important for churches to embrace technology as it speaks of how we're a church for 21st Century people.\"",

'Everyone is retreating' \"It's almost impossible to make money at these oil prices\", Mr Allan, who is a director of Premier Oil in addition to chairing Brindex, told the BBC. \"It's a huge crisis.\" \"This has happened before, and the industry adapts, but the adaptation is one of slashing people, slashing projects and reducing costs wherever possible, and that's painful for our staff, painful for companies and painful for the country. \"It's close to collapse. In terms of new investments - there will be none, everyone is retreating, people are being laid off at most companies this week and in the coming weeks. Budgets for 2015 are being cut by everyone.\" Mr Allan said many of the job cuts across the industry would not have been publicly announced. Oil workers are often employed as contractors, which are easier for employers to cut. His remarks echo comments made by the veteran oil man and government adviser Sir Ian Wood, who last week predicted a wave of job losses in the North Sea over the next 18 months. Decline The US-based oil giant ConocoPhillips is cutting 230 out of 1,650 jobs in the UK. This month it announced a 20% reduction in its worldwide capital expenditure budget, in response to falling oil prices. Other big oil firms are expected to make similar cuts to their drilling and exploration budgets. Research from the investment bank Goldman Sachs predicted that they would need to cut capital expenditure by 30% to restore their profitability at current prices. Service providers to the industry have also been hit. Texas-based oilfield services company Schlumberger cut back its UK-based fleet of geological survey ships in December, taking an $800m loss and cutting an unspecified number of jobs. On Wednesday Aberdeen-based Wood Group announced a pay freeze for staff, and cut rates for its contractors. Apache, one of the North Sea's biggest producers, has followed suit and will impose a 10 percent reduction on its contractors' wages from January 1st. Investment record The industry trade body, Oil and Gas UK, said: \"While Oil & Gas UK cannot comment on the commercial decisions, and individual opinions, of its members, the industry trade body recognises that the falling oil price is affecting activity across the UK Continental Shelf and companies are having to take hard decisions in light of this challenging business environment.\" UK oil and gas production has been in decline since 1999 - though the rate of decline slowed in 2013, a year which saw the highest level of investment on record. The industry was hoping to see continued high levels of investment, stemming the inevitable decline of production as North Sea's resources are used up. But falling oil prices have put that in doubt. However, the Department of Energy and Climate Change said: \"The recent sharp reductions in oil prices are very challenging for companies active in the North Sea. We have seen very little evidence of new projects being cancelled or deferred in reaction to lower oil prices.\" Analysis By Douglas Fraser, BBC Scotland Business and Economy Editor To avoid the oil investment boom turning into a bust by the dramatic fall in the price of Brent crude, firms in the industry are having to go for unusual measures. While lower energy costs help drivers and most of the UK economy, it is a concern for north-east Scotland and beyond that investment plans are being shelved. Goldman Sachs has suggested $930bn of projects, worldwide, could fail to get the go-ahead next year. And the North Sea is seen as one of the higher-cost, lower-return regions for investment. In mature fields, there is the prospect of closure being brought forward. And as a lot of production ceases to make money below $80 barrel (it's now in the region of $63), North Sea producers and those in their supply chain now face pressure to cut costs sharply. Those costs have been rising steeply in recent years. And measured per barrel of production, they've been rising at an alarming rate. The oil price fall has only intensified the pressure to get them under control. The oil industry is more used than most to having to flex in this way. When the oil price is high and investment strong, the cost of assets such as drilling rigs goes up sharply. And this is also an industry which relies heavily on individual contractor work, giving it flexibility on contracts and on pay, and often works best for those workers too.",

Mr Thiel has said he wants to challenge Gawker's \"bullying\" behaviour. But he has been criticised for using his wealth to try and silence part of the media. That poses a potential issue for Facebook at a time when it is trying to convince parts of the industry to host articles on its platform, provide it with exclusive video content and allow the tech firm to sell advertising on their behalf. \"Peter did what he did on his own, not as a Facebook board member,\" Ms Sandberg told attendees at the California event. \"We have very independent board members with very independent thoughts that they share publicly. Those strong people make really good board members because they have strong views and they're not afraid to think differently than other people, which has served Facebook well.\" But one expert questioned whether the decision to keep on Mr Thiel - who was one of Facebook's early investors - was sustainable in the long-term. \"Facebook has always fundamentally seen itself as a technology company, but is now having to deal with the public position - and also the ethics and responsibilities - of being a publisher,\" media consultant Steve Hewlett told the BBC. \"Imagine that this person were sitting on the board of The Times or the BBC - that would look like an obvious conflict of interest. You can't have a billionaire sitting on a publisher's board who is suing other people for publishing things. \"So, if you think of Facebook as being a publisher, this is plainly problematic.\" 'Philanthropic' attack The clash between Gawker and Mr Thiel dates back to 2007, when the media firm published an article headlined: \"Peter Thiel is totally gay people\". Last week, the venture capitalist revealed to the New York Times that he had subsequently funded a team of lawyers to find and help \"victims\" of other Gawker articles sue the firm - an act he described as \"philanthropic\". One case resulted in a jury ordering Gawker to pay Hulk Hogan $140m (£97m) after it decided the publication of a sex tape featuring the ex-professional wrestler amounted to an invasion of privacy. Gawker is appealing against the ruling, which threatens its future. The publisher has also challenged Mr Thiel's involvement and questioned his continued role at the social network. \"As a Facebook board member, how have your own views on politics and news influenced your contribution to corporate decisions?\" asked Gawker's founder Nick Denton in an open letter. 'Seeking revenge' Jeff Bezos, the chief executive of Amazon and owner of the Washington Post newspaper, was critical of Mr Thiel earlier in the week during his own appearance at the Code Conference. \"I don't think a billionaire should be able to fund a lawsuit to kill Gawker,\" he said. \"Seek revenge and you dig two graves. One for yourself.\" Facebook's chief executive Mark Zuckerberg rebuked one of its other directors, Marc Andreessen, earlier in the year for criticising India's action against the firm's Free Basics scheme. But Ms Sandberg said the circumstances involving Mr Thiel were different. \"[In the earlier case] it almost felt like he was speaking for Facebook,\" she explained. Even so, one company watcher suggested Ms Sandberg's comments were unlikely to end the matter. \"Media critics clearly see Thiel's actions as a threat to free speech, if not the entire news business,\" said Graham Lovelace from Lovelace Consulting. \"Some are trying to bring Facebook into that, because of its record in championing free expression. \"It highlights the debate around Facebook's identity as it continues to grow.\" Shareholders in the social network have an opportunity to question its decision at its annual stockholder meeting on 20 June.",

Unlike now, people will not have to claim separately for different benefits. The amount claimants receive will also be calculated closer to \"real time\", with adjustments potentially made monthly rather than annually. MAKING WORK PAY As earnings rise, Universal Credit will be withdrawn at a rate of around 65p for every £1 of wages earned - higher than is presently the case. HOW CLAIMS WILL BE MADE Claims \"will normally be made through the internet\". Most claims will be dealt with automatically, leaving staff to focus on cases where there is a risk of fraud or error. The government say they expect \"most subsequent contact between recipients and the delivery agency will also be conducted online\". Claimants will be expected to manage their claims as they would an online bank account. They will also have to report significant changes of circumstances online. There will be support for the \"minority\" unable to use the online system.

Operating on the south Wales mainline, the service would stop at fewer stations, making it a quicker journey. The Office of Rail and Road (ORR) said it was aware of the proposal and early talks had started. The hourly service would operate between London Paddington and Cardiff Central and could be live by December 2020. It would stop at Severn Tunnel Junction in Monmouthshire, a station which is not currently served by Great Western's London service. The service would run from Cardiff Central, to Newport, Severn Tunnel Junction and Bristol Parkway, then to London Paddington. It will also stop at Cardiff Parkway when it opens. Grand Union said their service would take one and a half hours - by not stopping at Swindon, Didcot and Reading - in comparison to Great Western's half-hourly service, which takes more than two hours. The firm's managing director Ian Yeowart said: \"The trains we offer will be faster, more comfortable, we'll offer some competition so that will have a downward pressure on price. \"We look for places that deserve a better rail service and can support a better rail service.\" Trains will operate with nine coaches, offering first class, standard class and a buffet car. Mr Yeowart said he has also been in talks with the Welsh Government about other improvements to rail services. \"We're not just talking about trains, we're also talking about potential infrastructure at Severn Tunnel Junction and at Cardiff Central Station so there's a lot of exciting things to happen,\" he added. \"We also plan to base the entire operation in south Wales so there would be about 135 new jobs to come into the area if we're successful.\" They propose using second-hand 140mph (225 km/h) trains formed of nine coaches and a driving trailer, which have been used by London and North Eastern Railway on the East Coast Main Line. Prof Stuart Cole, a former director of Wales Transport Research Centre at the University of Glamorgan, said Mr Yeowart had a \"proven record\" in this field. \"He's been in this business before, last time it was very successful,\" he said. \"He's gone for the most profitable and busiest part of the line, it's extra trains on the market and we can see what prices come to the market.\" Ken Skates, the Welsh Government's minister for economy and transport, said: \"[We] welcome the ambition being shown by Grand Union Trains to address this by proposing the operation of a new, fast, limited stop, high quality service which would provide an alternative option for passengers to travel between the two capital cities.\" Under track access rules, other rail operators are able to provide a service if a route is not deemed congested, and the Office of Rail and Road (ORR) approves an application.

The inquiry is by a special court looking into crimes committed during a half century of conflict between troops and left wing rebels. A peace deal ending the conflict was signed in 2016. What were the \"false positives? It is the name given to the killings of young men - mainly from poor families - carried out by the Colombian army. The army's aim was to pass them off as left-wing rebels from the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (Farc) to boost its kill rate and give the impression it was winning the armed conflict against the group. Read more about the \"false positives\": Who's behind the investigation? It is being carried out by the Special Jurisdiction for Peace (JEP), which was set up as part of the peace process after the left-wing Farc rebels signed the 2016 peace deal with the government. The JEP is a transitional court system which was put in place for a period of 10 years to try all participants in the conflict, be they rebels or state actors. Those who admit to their crimes up front will avoid jail time, but will be required to contribute in other ways to reconciliation - such as participating in programmes to remove landmines, build key infrastructure or construct monuments. What did the court find? After having investigated kidnappings carried out by the Farc rebels, the court has now turned its attention to the \"false positives\" and crimes committed by government forces. Colombia's public prosecutor's office had acknowledged that there had been 2,249 \"false positives\" between 1988 and 2014 in a report it handed to the JEP last year. The investigation suggests the real figure is almost triple that. It also suggests that the majority of the \"false positives\" were carried out between 2002 and 2008, during the presidency of Álvaro Uribe. What's the background? The \"false positives\" scandal first erupted in 2008, but the practice is thought to date back as far as the 1980s. More than 1,700 people have been sentenced for their role in the false positives. Members of the military have given evidence in a number of court cases over the past decade and told how they were pressured by their superiors to drive up their \"kill rate\" and how they would be rewarded by being given promotions or extra days off. In one case, eight soldiers were jailed for taking four farmers from their homes by force, shooting them in the back and dressing them up as rebels. In other instances, young men were lured from poor neighbourhoods of the capital, Bogotá, with promises of work, only to be murdered and dressed in rebel fatigues. The JEP says it does not rule out that the total number of victims may be higher as its investigation is still in the early stages.",

It was meant to inform them on two key questions - whether there was collusion between the Russians and the Trump campaign - Mueller finds there wasn't. And whether the president obstructed justice in trying to impede investigation of the Russia question - on that he is a good deal more nuanced - he found 10 separate incidents where there might have been. And it is here we come to my key question, which is ultimately political and not legalistic - will it change any minds? I suspect that if you are a Trump supporter you will say: \"There was no action of illegality, the president was right all along, it's all been a hoax and a witch hunt, there's nothing to see ladies and gentlemen so please move along.\" If you are someone who believes that Donald Trump was always unfit to hold office, you were reaffirmed in that view and say: \"Is the bar really being set at a level where - provided nothing illegal happened - well that's alright then?\" So those are the two polarised positions. Congress will certainly want to look much further at this, given all the revealing tales of politics at the White House. And on this key question of obstruction of justice, I think the key quote is this: Mr Trump's attempts at influencing the investigation \"were mostly unsuccessful but that is largely because the persons who surrounded the president declined to carry out orders or accede to his requests\". In other words, it looks like the team that muttered under their collective breath \"I'm ignoring you, Mr President\", saved him from himself. If they had carried out his orders to arrange for the firing of Mueller then the obstruction of justice piece might be a lot clearer - and not in a way that Mr Trump would want. So where does this leave Special Counsel Bob Mueller? The former FBI director and Vietnam War veteran may face some tough questions when he goes before that congressional committee. He has said that the written answers provided by Mr Trump were inadequate, but if that's the case, why didn't he use his subpoena powers to demand the president come before his investigating committee and answer questions directly? That was an arm wrestle that Mr Mueller chose not to get into with the president for fear that it may lead to the permanent death of his investigation. So he ducked that one. Others may ask: \"Well, if you thought there was a level of obstruction why didn't you say there should be an indictment?\" I'd say what he's done here - to use an American analogy - is he's taken the baseball bat, he's put it on home plate and he's leaving it for other people to pick up and take a swing. He's saying to Congress essentially: \"I've looked at it. I didn't resolve this question. I didn't exonerate him. But if you want to have a go, that's a different thing.\" Remember there are different legal thresholds for indictment (ie a criminal charge) and an impeachment which is a largely political process that would have to be done by a divided Congress. Before he goes before Congress he'll need to be able to answer this key question: \"You dodged the question and didn't resolve what you were meant to resolve\". I think that the wider game - (maybe that's too glib a word to use, so I'll say strategy here) - the wider strategy of the Democrats is that they would like to see a president going into 2020 a bit wounded, a bit weakened, his name tarnished by the Mueller investigation and who will be easier to strike out in a presidential election. The danger of going down the impeachment route, which is the most dramatic way of picking up that baseball bat, is that all that it results in is uniting the Republican party. Just look at Bill Clinton's approval ratings after Republicans impeached him. If he had been able to stand for a re-election, he would have romped home according to the polls at the time. Then as now it would probably lead to a good many independent voters thinking: \"This is all becoming ghastly and political, mean-minded, mean-spirited and nothing to do with justice, but only about political point scoring.\" For that reason I think the Democratic leadership - for all the subpoenas, for all the demands for people and papers to be served up to the various committees - would much rather knock the president around a bit than go down a route which would almost certainly end in failure and almost certainly be counter-productive. And for all the questions, doubts, contradictions, sleights of hand, Mr Trump emerges with two key headlines: Mueller says there was no collusion; the Attorney General says there was no obstruction of justice. Game over, as Donald Trump declared on Twitter. No wonder the White House are describing the president as \"jacked\". You can follow Jon on Twitter",

School staff in the South West said they were working \"incredibly hard\" to make the lives of students \"as normal as possible\". Some said their workload had \"never been higher\" as a result. Teachers across England had to \"start from scratch\" when they were faced with the prospect of lockdown learning, said Dan Hayward from Ivybridge Community College in Devon. The head of history said running parallel lessons for children in the classroom and those at home meant he had \"never worked this hard before\". \"This is working up to very late at night, this is sacrificing a little bit of our relationships at home.\" Mr Hayward said a lack of clarity over how exam grades would be determined this summer had led to feelings of \"confusion, worry, and anxiety\" among the teaching community. \"The government are suggesting more and more work, at a time when I think there should be that little bit more sympathy for a profession that is close to real breaking point,\" he added. Tayla Brown, a newly qualified teacher at Teign School, near Kingsteignton in Devon, said Covid forced her to complete the final half of her training online before starting the job in September. The 23-year-old history teacher said she was working \"incredibly hard\" to meet students' needs, \"whatever that meant for me\". \"This is not how we ever envisaged doing our first year of teaching. \"I just think in general everyone is tired, and not just emotionally, but physically, mentally, because it's been hard work.\" However Ms Brown said her passion for the job, and \"incredible\" support from her school, continued to motivate her through the pandemic. \"I love teaching so much, and I think that's probably what has guided me through,\" she said. Jenny Walker, chief executive of Kernow Learning Trust, which brings together 20 schools in Cornwall, said lockdown was \"tough for everybody\", including teachers. Her words were echoed by another head teacher, who warned staff were working through an \"educational crisis\". \"I think they're tough, but it has been tricky for them,\" said Mike Johnson, executive head at Chulmleigh Academy Trust in Devon. \"The whole situation when we come back is going to be completely different,\" Mr Johnson said. \"So we can't just give the same resources and do things in exactly the same way as we did before the pandemic and hope everyone is going to catch up and everyone is going to be okay. \"If we do that, we're preparing for a world that no longer exists,\" he said. The Department for Education said: \"We are enormously grateful to teachers and other school staff for the resilience and commitment they have shown in supporting children during this challenging time. \"We have taken consistent action to address teacher workload and wellbeing and invested millions in mental health charities to support teachers.\" Follow BBC News South West on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.

Mr Bromet repaid the money the same year and admitted the allegations, claiming one of the transfers was the result of problems with a banking app. He was struck off by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) in November. A solicitors disciplinary tribunal was told that between 28 August and 24 September 2018, Mr Bromet made four transfers totalling £19,000 from Bromets Solicitors Limited's client account into the firm's office account. He said the payments were \"loans\" to the firm from an account of which he was also a trustee. Another £28,000 was transferred between 27 and 28 September of the same year but was paid back in early October. Mr Bromet claimed there had been a \"mistake\", with some of the money transferred when he was in the countryside using a mobile banking app. It was found that the main office account did not have sufficient funds to meet the payments of employees and creditors on the days of all the transfers. The SRA panel found Mr Bromet's misconduct to be \"serious\". In its judgement, the SRA said his failures were compounded by \"dishonestly advising a client that his funds had been deposited into a high interest account\" when they had instead been used to \"meet his office overheads and his own financial needs\". The full amount was repaid between 4 and 5 December 2018 after concerns were raised by a forensic officer from the SRA that November. In comments provided to the SRA panel, Mr Bromet said he \"totally and humbly accepts the mistakes and misjudgements that he has made\". Following a virtual hearing, Mr Bromet was struck off and ordered to pay costs of £28,000. Follow BBC Yorkshire on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

But she said parts of his speech about Northern Ireland angered her. \"He wanted to tear up our guarantee to the people of Northern Ireland. Northern Ireland is part of the UK.\" Mr Johnson, who quit the cabinet in July in protest at Brexit policy, was cheered by activists when he urged Mrs May to drop her plan for future co-operation with the EU. In a speech in Birmingham, he argued her blueprint, called the Chequers plan, was \"undemocratic\" as it kept the UK within the \"tractor beam\" of Brussels and was not what people voted for. Urging Mrs May to return to the vision she originally set out in her Lancaster House speech in early 2017, he warned \"if we get it wrong we will be punished\". A flash of polite irritation The BBC's political editor Laura Kuenssberg The prime minister, who is publicly as controlled as they come, revealed a flash of polite irritation telling me that she is \"cross\" with the things Boris Johnson has said. Trust me, the things that people in government have been saying about him privately are often far worse than that. The view of some of Mr Johnson's former colleagues is that he is a charlatan, who never showed that he could do the work needed, to show the responsibility required, to make decisions that would affect the lives of the public. There are numerous anecdotes of how the former foreign secretary would make promises he never kept, wouldn't properly focus on the documents, the detail, that came across his desk in one of the highest offices in the land. However, in a moment of proper candour, another of his former colleagues who knows him well, told me that the truth is, \"we're all a bit jealous\". But Mrs May told the BBC's political editor Laura Kuenssberg that she had not watched the speech and she was putting the national interest first in the negotiations. Her plan, she said, was the only one that would minimise disruption to trade while also upholding the UK's territorial integrity and Northern Ireland's constitutional status within the UK. Proposals put forward by the EU and others which did not do that were unacceptable, she said. \"There are one or two things that Boris said that I am cross about,\" she said. \"You know we, he and I are all members of the Conservative and Unionist Party. That's because we believe in the union of the United Kingdom. \"Northern Ireland is part of that union. And we have a guarantee for the people of Northern Ireland and we are upholding that. Our Chequers plan does that it's the only plan on the table at the moment that does.\" Pressed on whether she believed Mr Johnson, who in his speech urged his party to cut taxes and make the case for free markets, was undermining her authority, she replied: \"There's one thing we all know about Boris is that he'll put on a good show. \"But what we've been doing here at conference of course and I think what matters to people out there is what the government does and what we focus on in terms of their day to day lives and what really matters to them.\" Mrs May, who will make her leader's speech to conference on Wednesday, has also been defending the government's post-Brexit immigration policy, details of which were unveiled earlier. It will prioritise high-skilled workers and ensure EU nationals are treated the same as those from the rest of the world. Low-skilled migration would fall when EU free movement access ends, she said, although a future trade deal with the EU could include a \"mobility\" agreement to enable businesses to bring qualified people into the country for short periods of time. \"I think people will feel a difference because they will know that for the first time in decades it is the UK government that is deciding who can come into the country,\" she said. \"We will be able to decide the basis on which people come to the UK,\" she said. \"That hasn't been possible for many years for people coming from the EU. That will change.\"",

In March Saudi authorities warned Viber and other encrypted messaging services that they would be blocked unless they provided a means to be monitored. Mr Marco said he had refused to provide data requested by Saudi officials. The fact that Viber's free phone and text messaging service is no longer working in the country is not entirely unexpected. The Saudi telecoms regulator had warned the firm - along with Skype and Whatsapp - that they would be blocked if they did not agree to be monitored. The warning prompted many Saudis and expatriates living in Saudi Arabia to protest against the move. Many also began to censor their messages, in case they were already being monitored. Mr Marco told the BBC that Saudi internet service providers and mobile operators started asking for information about the internal workings of the service a couple of months ago. \"We assumed that the reason they wanted it was to try to figure out ways to tap into our conversations, listen to what our users are saying, read messages,\" he said. \"Not that understanding how the system worked would have have helped them - but we did not provide them with the data,\" he added. Circumventing the problem Mr Marco said Viber had faced similar moves to block it in Iran. There, he said he believed the motive was political, but in Saudi Arabia it was unclear whether commercial interests might also be at stake. \"What we do know is that our users are being disenfranchised, they are being denied access to basic communication,\" he said. For now, neither Skype nor Whatsapp have been blocked in Saudi Arabia. Mr Marco suggested that the block on Viber might be a first step against all three services or that the two others might already be monitored. Saudis have taken up internet social networks with extraordinary enthusiasm - allowing them to communicate with each other with a freedom that they never had before. Recent denunciations of Twitter by leading Saudi religious figures have heightened concern amongst the millions of Saudis who use such services that the authorities want to limit or close their access to such freedoms. Millions of expatriate workers there also increasingly rely on free messaging services to stay in touch with their relatives, whom they may not see for years. Both Saudis and expatriates in the country have reacted to the block on Viber with considerable apprehension. But Mr Marco offered reassurance, saying that his company was already working on a way to get past the block. He said that Viber's experience in Iran had given it valuable experience in dealing with the problem and he expected to have the first stage of a workaround ready within a couple of weeks.",

            "input": "By Kevin PeacheyPersonal finance reporter Customers with overdrafts, which are more profitable than other types of credit, are particularly lucrative. A report by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) said banks were also benefiting from customers taking loans and credit cards with the same bank. FCA boss Andrew Bailey said: \"There is no such thing as free banking\". The FCA said that the main High Street banks had a captive audience of customers who did not switch and who were targeted for cross-selling of other products. These major banks, despite the emergence of more challenger banks, still had control of more than 80% of the personal current account market. The regulator found that banks were making profits from customers who held money in accounts that paid little or no interest. Those with high balances were particularly lucrative for the banks. Often, loyal customers have savings and current accounts at the same bank, instead of seeking out better interest rates for their savings. As a result, they were receiving interest between 30% and 50% lower than they could generate elsewhere, the FCA found. About half of customers who had a credit card and a current account used the same bank for both, and a similar proportion had a loan with the same bank - even though these might not offer the best deals. Mr Bailey said the report was helping inform the FCA about the complexities of the current account market, and comes after a series of investigations into why few people shop around for these financial products. Overdraft row Overdraft revenue, including interest and other fees and charges, was responsible for more than 30% of banks' personal current account income A recent FCA report revealed that more than three million people have dipped into an unauthorised overdraft in the course of a year, exceeding their agreed limit. Yet, the majority of unarranged overdraft charges are concentrated on less than 2% of customers, some of whom are vulnerable. The regulator has already proposed that banks offer more information to customers, including mobile alerts, about when and how they go into the red. It is also considering a ban on fixed fees, which can lead to relatively high charges for a small unarranged overdraft. Part of discussions will be a \"potential backstop price cap for overdrafts\", but it is not an immediate proposal. The FCA said that it needed to overcome potential legal issues that had been encountered in the past. This stance has been criticised by debt and consumer charities, many of which want to see a speedy cap on the cost of overdrafts, to protect these potentially vulnerable customers. The FCA collected information from 45 firms across the range of the market, including major banks, small retail banks, building societies, specialist lenders and new digital banks. A spokesman for UK Finance, which represents the major banks, said: \"Management of personal finance is key and overdrafts are important for many consumers as a short-term solution to smooth cashflow. \"Lenders are developing and enhancing a series of measures to help those who regularly use their overdraft, including new ways to better identify and support customers with persistent overdraft debt. We will continue to work closely with the FCA through the next stage of its review and this report provides useful insight into what is a complex set of issues.\"",

The decision was voted through at a special conference in Maghera during which members said they also reaffirmed the party's pro-life stance. It is understood party leader Colum Eastwood and his deputy Nicola Mallon supported a free vote. Protest More than one hundred party members attended the conference on Saturday. Anti-abortion campaigners from the group Precious Life staged a protest outside. Some SDLP MLAs challenged the protestors and questioned their campaign tactics and \"moral authority.\" The conference was timed to coincide with next week's referendum in the Republic on changing the country's strict abortion laws. Saturday's vote means SDLP politicians will be free to express their views on the referendum. 'Option of moral conscience' Speaking to the BBC when he first called the conference, Colum Eastwood said: \"We are not talking about changing the fundamental position, the party position is pro-life but the party membership set out our policies. \"What we are talking about, and what is up for discussion, is the issue around conscience,\" he added. \"Can we allow people to have that option of a moral conscience? \"That is the discussion across every political party in Ireland, so it would be strange for us not to have that discussion.\" Prior to the conference, other senior figures within the party came out in favour of allowing a free vote including former deputy leader Bríd Rodgers. \"This is not a black and white issue and that is why I believe the party whip should not be applied. \"No one should be forced to vote against their conscience.\" she said. Ms Rodgers is unable to attend the conference but it is understood other senior figures, past and present, will address the gathering before a series of secret votes. 'Pro-life stance' Delegates were asked to vote on a number of motions including reaffirming the party's pro-life stance, but also supporting terminations in cases of rape, incest and fatal foetal abnormality. Northern Ireland's abortion laws are more strict than the rest of the UK. An abortion is allowed only if a woman's life is at risk or there is a serious or permanent risk to her mental health. Rape, incest and fatal foetal abnormalities are not circumstances in which an abortion can be performed legally. Voters in the Republic of Ireland will decide on Friday if they want to make changes to Ireland's strict abortion laws, upheld in the Eighth Amendment of the Irish constitution. The amendment, which was introduced in 1983, \"acknowledges the right to life of the unborn\".",

            "input": "By Jonathan AmosScience correspondent, BBC News A signal from the probe confirming that it had escaped the gravitational bounds of the 530km-wide rock was received by Nasa on Wednesday. The spacecraft's ion engine is now pushing it on to an even bigger target in the belt of asteroids between Mars and Jupiter - the dwarf planet Ceres. Dawn is expected to reach this 950km-wide body in early 2015. Before departing on its long cruise to the new destination, the probe trained its camera system on Vesta's northern pole. The pictures reveal mountains and craters that are being seen for the very first time. Only now, as Dawn heads away, has the Sun risen high enough in the sky to illuminate the highest latitudes. Scientists are poring over the images to see what interpretation they can put on the terrain. Vesta has the appearance of a punctured football - the result of two mighty impacts that removed huge volumes of rock from its southern pole. These collisions sent shockwaves rippling across the asteroid, producing a deep system of troughs that extends around the object's equator. Researchers have speculated that this disturbance might also be reflected in the features hitherto obscured at the northern pole. However, Dawn's principal investigator Prof Chris Russell said a definitive statement on such matters would have to wait on a detailed assessment of the new pictures. \"We haven't got together to discuss it carefully yet,\" he told BBC News. \"[The region] is not as jumbled as I had expected; it's more subtle than I had expected - but the people who are experts in this particular area do feel that there is an effect of the southern impact.\" The Dawn mission has returned a great swathe of data to transform our understanding of Vesta. Before the probe's arrival in July last year, the best views of the asteroid were some fuzzy pictures acquired by the Hubble Space Telescope. Dawn studied in detail the pattern of minerals exposed at Vesta's surface and also mapped the diverse geological features shaping its terrain. These observations have enabled scientists to elucidate a history for the colossal rock. They now regard it as a unique body - the only remaining example of the original objects that came together to form the rocky planets, like Earth and Mars, some 4.6 billion years ago. It is clear now that Vesta has a layered interior, with a metal-rich core that takes up some 18% of the body by mass. All of the other objects like it at the Solar System's birth were either obliterated in the intense collisional environment that existed back then or were incorporated into successively larger aggregations of material that eventually produced the planets we recognise today. Perhaps the stand-out discovery is the definitive association that can now be made between Vesta and the howardite-eucrite-diogenite, or HED, class of meteorites that regularly fall to Earth. From telescopic observations, researchers had always suspected these meteorites came from Vesta. But the signatures of pyroxene - a mineral rich in iron and magnesium - in those meteorites have now been matched precisely with the mineral signatures spied in Vesta's surface by Dawn's instruments. It is highly likely that much of the HED material was thrown off Vesta in those two big impacts at the southern pole. \"We have used those meteorites and their chemical analysis to tell a story about the formation of the Solar System and its evolution, and if that was wrong we'd have had a lot of explaining and new work to do. The fact that it is right, and we've confirmed it, is really very good. It makes our lives a lot simpler,\" said Prof Russell, who is affiliated to the University of California, Los Angeles.

Ten people have been arrested and seven charged over the scams. Police are warning older people and their families to be vigilant. According to Action Fraud, which records scam figures for the whole of the UK, people in Northern Ireland lost almost £22m to a number of scams last year alone. These are only the frauds reported to this organisation, the figure may be higher. Police say there have been 308 reports of the bogus police officer scam since January. At a press conference on Tuesday, PSNI Det Ch Insp Ian Wilson said if people were called in this way they should immediately hang up. He said the scammers engaged householders in conversation which develops into asking whether they keep cash or other valuables in their house. \"The scammers will then tell them that they have information that in the very near future they are going to be the victim of a crime, such as a burglary or a fraud,\" he said. Mr Wilson said the scammers would offer to take possession of cash and valuables in order to keep them safe. \"If that is agreed to, they will ask the householder to put those valuables and cash into an envelope and set it somewhere - very often under the front doorstep,\" he said. The envelope would be collected and its contents stolen. \"The police will not phone you up and ask anything about your personal finances, whether you have cash or other valuables in your house and they certainly will not ask to take that into their possession for safekeeping,\" he said. 'I was really convinced he was an officer' A 95-year-old-man, who wished to remain anonymous to protect his security, told the BBC's Newsline programme he came close to falling victim to the scam. He said he answered his landline to a man with a \"very assertive, very authoritative, very convincing voice\", who said he was a police officer. The caller said he had been \"retained by a public institution\" to investigate hacking on the man's bank account as someone had been using his details to purchase goods. He proceeded to ask if the man kept money or valuables in his house and enquired about his home security. He told the man he would be sending plain-clothed officers to his house but not to tell friends or family as it could compromise the investigation. \"I was really convinced he was an officer,\" the elderly man said. But after hanging up, he began to question the authenticity and motives of the caller and decided to contact police. \"If I'd really fallen for the thing and said 'yes I've got a few thousand pounds in the house' they would have been up a day or two later and that would have been that,\" he said. Commissioner for Older People in Northern Ireland Eddie Lynch said the scam was a \"major concern\". \"Unfortunately, we do know that older people can be more trusting and less willing to put the phone down and that is why it is important to get this message out that you will never be asked to hand out money or bank details by police,\" he said. \"If in doubt, just put the phone down.\" Around the BBC Why so many people fall for scams - BBC Worklife How to avoid horrifying scams online! - BBC Bitesize",

He claimed the killing was the result of a loss of control after being blackmailed by the teenager. Mason has now been sentenced to life with a minimum term of 28 years after being found guilty of the boy's murder. Judge Steven Everett described the killing as \"pre-meditated murder, carefully planned and, in my judgment, ruthlessly carried out\". \"You were hoping you would kill him and hide his body to make it look as if he simply decided to disappear,\" he said. The judge said farmer's son Mason, from Ollerton, Cheshire, was \"much more worldly wise\" than his victim who was young and immature for his age. He told him: \"Although I accept Alex Rodda may very well have initiated contact with you in the latter half of 2019, I am sure that you not only responded but actively encouraged a sexual relationship. \"You groomed him. It was not your first sexual experience but it was his. \"While it is clear that Alex Rodda naively, as I see it, demanded money from you. It must be firmly kept in mind that this all came about because of your sexual offending and you chose to behave in that way.\" Chester Crown Court heard the pair had known each other for some months and had \"enjoyed an intimate sexual relationship\". In the month prior to the murder, Alex contacted Mason's girlfriend to tell her that her boyfriend had been messaging him \"in a flirty way\" and had sent an explicit photo and video, the court heard. The then 18-year-old denied the allegations to his girlfriend but began making payments to Alex's bank account. On 12 December 2019, Mason picked Alex up from his home and drove him to a remote area of woodland, taking a wrench with him. Det Insp Nigel Reid said Mason \"had murder on his mind as he drove Alex to his death under the pretence of sexual activity\". \"He chose a secluded place to kill him in cold blood, a place he believed he would go unseen and his crime undetected,\" he said. In victim impact statements read out in court, Alex's parents paid tribute to their \"beautiful, loving boy\". His mother Lisa said: \"When you lose a child in the most horrific and brutal circumstances as a parent you really do experience hell. \"My boy was raised in love, not fear. He did not have to wear a mask. I brought my son to be proud of who he was.\" Alex's father Adam said: \"He was a fun-loving, respectful boy who always considered other people's feelings. \"We will never get over the loss of our beautiful, loving boy. Our lives will never be the same again.\" Alex, a pupil at Holmes Chapel High School, was struck at least 15 times to the head in an attack described as \"brutal\" and \"merciless\". His partially-clothed body was discovered by refuse collectors the next morning. After the killing, Mason went to a friend's farm to clean up and then to two pubs where he met friends. He later returned to the woods, where the prosecution believe he dragged Alex's body to the side of the road and attempted to put him inside his car. After failing to do this, he drove away. But a witness had taken a photo of his Renault Clio car parked on the track and reported this to police. Mason was identified as the owner and arrested the next day. It later emerged he had made internet searches for phrases including \"what would happen if you kicked someone down the stairs\", \"everyday poison\" and \"the mysteries of Cheshire unsolved deaths of missing people\".

The £150m plant already has planning permission from Cardiff council but is opposed by Friends of the Earth. Graham Hillier, from Environment Agency Wales, said: \"We can see no reason, at this stage, why Viridor should not be given an environmental permit.\" Viridor Waste Management has been given the approval for a waste facility in Trident Park, in the Splott area of the city. The company has said the \"waste to energy\" plant will create hundreds of construction jobs and then up to 60 permanent jobs. The Environment Agency said its permit relates to the \"impact of the facility on the environment and on people's health\". It does not relate to issues such as traffic, visual impact, operating hours and light pollution, all of which were covered by the planning permission granted by Cardiff council last month. Mr Hillier said: \"We have carried out a rigorous investigation over the last 13 months and received specialist advice on health related matters \"At this stage we do not anticipate that the facility will cause any significant risk to the health of people who live nearby, or to the environment.\" Residents have been fighting the application from Virdior for more than a year. Last June the proposals for the plant on the site a former copper, iron and steel works were rejected by the local authority. It is estimated that more than 250 lorries each day will deliver 350,000 tonnes of waste a year to the site. Last year Cardiff's planning committee decided the proposal would result in \"the unsustainable transportation of waste\". But the plans were passed last month after Viridor agreed to pay £182,096 towards \"transportation infrastructure enhancements\" in the city. The firm said it would also set up a liaison group to work with the local community in Splott. The Cardiff branch of Friends of the Earth has called the plant a \"huge, wasteful and polluting incinerator\". Splott councillor Martin Holland said figures for 250,000 lorry journeys in and out of the area in the first five years were \"frightening\".",

More than three dozen officers descended onto the tiny town, believing they were hiding in the woods. Police now say the pair may have been helped by a civilian who did not recognise them to leave the area. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) is canvassing the community door-to-door to see if anyone has any leads that could help locate the suspects. Canada's military has also pledged to assist the nationwide manhunt with air support. The search for the pair has sparked several online rumours and left the small community of Gillam, with a population of about 1,300, on edge. Police have deployed a drone, dozens of officers and a crisis negotiation team, to help bring the manhunt to a \"successful resolution\". \"We don't want anyone else to be hurt here, including Kam or Bryer. We want the opportunity for them to face a fair judicial process,\" Sgt. Janelle Shoihet told media on Thursday. What can a negotiator do? Clint Van Zandt, a former criminal profiler and hostage negotiator with the FBI, says that the most important thing for any crisis negotiator to remember is that anything could happen. \"These two could change at a moments notice - they could change and come out and surrender, or they could change and come out shooting,\" he told the BBC. Van Zandt, who was one of the negotiators during the 51-day siege in Waco, Texas, likens his job as a negotiator as to that of a \"fisherman\". \"You don't just go fishing with one worm... you've got a whole tackle box of psychological lures.\" The biggest lure, he said, is to give them hope for their future, no matter what they did in their past. To do that, he says it is vital to do as much background research on the suspects as possible. \"If they've got a dog, then I want to know about the dog,\" he said. \"As negotiators, we'll talk about anything to keep people talking, because if they're talking then they're not shooting.\" What are they accused of? Mr Schmegelsky and Mr McLeod have been charged with the second-degree murder of 64-year old Leonard Dyck. His body was found burned near the pair's burnt-out camping van in northern British Columbia last Friday. They are also suspected of killing Australian-American couple Lucas Fowler and Chynna Deese, who were also exploring the area. The two young men have travelled some 3,300km (2,000 miles) east since the murders. RCMP say a car the pair had been spotted driving was found burning near Gillam on Monday. No other cars have since been reported stolen, which leads them to suspect the pair may be hiding in the woods nearby. \"We believe they are still in the area,\" said Cpl Julie Courchaine.",

The first I heard was the tops of the trees getting stripped off by the plane passing through them and then it did a bellyflop and landed without the undercarriage coming down. \"We went across and when we got there they were all out. The crew were fine as I remember. It was a perfect landing under the circumstances. They picked the right field. There was hardly a mark on the plane. \"It's very nice to meet the Grahams. I didn't get to know any of the crew but I'll never forget it. It was the biggest fright of my life. Every time I see a plane flying it flashes through my head.\" The crash also remained a secret in the Graham family for decades until their daughter Carrie wrote a story about her great-uncle, who died in 1999.

Many believe they could have avoided the floods had their floors been higher. Denbighshire council has said the floor levels met minimum requirements. BBC Wales' Week in Week Out programme has discovered the council is facing legal action following the floods on 27 November last year when the River Clwyd burst its banks following days of heavy rain. When work began on the Glasdir estate every house was given its own floor level measurement. In 2010 the plans were updated. What residents have found is the majority of houses have been built to a lower level than the figures listed in these plans. Residents said that after a year of asking they still had not received any answers. Poppy Williams, who lives with her family on the Glasdir estate, told the programme the flooding happened less than a year after moving into their new home, and while she was eight months pregnant. \"We've seen approved plans that show our property should be at a certain height, approximately 55cm (22in) higher than it actually is,\" she said. \"We had 15cm (6in) approximately of water in the house and so to my mind that does suggest that had we been at the correct level - i.e. 55cm higher - we may not have had water in the property. \"And considering the nature of the estate and where it was built - it was built on a flood plain - and considering the flood risk that everyone was aware of, it beggars belief that they didn't check the floor levels.\" Hugh Ellis, of the Town and Country Planning Association, said it was vital to get these details correct when building on a flood plain. \"When you're thinking about conditions on a planning application or what you're telling the developer it should be crystal clear what floor levels are required,\" he said. \"But ultimately this is about the regulator. \"When you are going to develop a site as vulnerable as this it's absolutely critical those standards are set out properly - and ultimately it's the local authority and with the expert help of what was then the Environment Agency to sort that problem out - and any kind confusion on that is going to lead to the problems you have here.\" As the regulating planning authority, it was Denbighshire council's job to make sure the right levels were made clear to the builder. 'Flood risk' The council admitted it did not provide written confirmation that it had checked the floor levels as was required, and it had no records that floor levels were checked by its staff. But it has said the floor levels built met Environment Agency, a body now known as Natural Resources Wales, minimum requirements. A report by independent investigators in September this year said the flooding was largely caused by blocked culverts. The report said screens around the culverts on the estate were poorly designed and did not comply with recognised standards. The council was not blamed but said lessons must be learned. Millions of pounds were spent on flood defences by the then Welsh Development Agency (WDA) which built Ruthin's northern link road and the culverts which blocked last year. The WDA, which no longer exists and has been absorbed into the Welsh government, also built the earth defences or bund that was supposed to protect the estate from anything but a one-in-a-thousand-year flood. Housing and Regeneration Minister Carl Sargeant declined to be interviewed for Week In Week Out but said the Welsh government had a robust policy of not building housing in flood risk areas. But BBC Wales has discovered that 26 residential schemes were given the go ahead last year alone, six of them against all advice. Natural Resources Minister Alun Davies said the Welsh government was spending £240m on new flood defences across Wales. About the Glasdir estate, Mr Davies said: \"It's shocking, what happened in Glasdir. I recognise the impact of the flooding there on people and their families and their community. \"We are looking at the moment how we respond to Glasdir and the flooding, we are looking at all the different elements of that. \"We know that one of the primary causes wasn't simply the flood defences were not adequate, but the culverts weren't being maintained and clear. \"It's not a matter for the flood defence not being adequate, it's the about the management of those defences as well.\" Denbighshire council declined to be interviewed for the programme.

A senior government source in Haiti confirmed to the BBC that an investigation will now be launched into foreign aid agencies operating there. Haitians angered by Oxfam sex scandal What is the charity accused of? One of the UK's biggest charities, Oxfam, was the subject of a report in the Times newspaper last week. The article accused the charity of concealing the findings of a 2011 inquiry into claims senior aid workers, including Haiti's national director, paid local prostitutes for sex. Oxfam were in the country offering relief following a devastating 7.0 magnitude earthquake that killed more than 200,000 people in 2010. The charity has since confirmed sexual misconduct occurred, and that several staff members were dismissed or resigned after the internal investigation, but denies any cover-up. It has been accused by a UK charity watchdog, which has launched an inquiry, of failing to disclose the full details. Oxfam's deputy chief executive Penny Lawrence has resigned over the handling of the scandal, and the UK government has threatened to cut funding to the charity's projects. How has Haiti reacted? Posting on his Twitter account (in French) Haitian President Jovenel Moise spoke out about the scandal for the first time on Monday. \"There is nothing more outrageous and dishonest than a sexual predator who uses his position as part of the humanitarian response to a natural disaster to exploit needy people in their moment of greatest vulnerability,\" he said. \"What happened with Oxfam in Haiti is an extremely serious violation of human dignity,\" he said in another tweet. Several former members of Oxfam's local staff have said they tried to raise concerns but felt their complaints were ignored. Several Haitian NGOs have said that the problems with Oxfam in Haiti were institutional. Pierre Esperance, the head of Haiti's National Human Rights Defence Network, told the BBC: \"Oxfam, after the earthquake, became like a factory.\" \"A big organisation with a lot of people with bad management.

Mr Comey had been running an inquiry into possible collusion between Russia and Donald Trump's election campaign. The ex-FBI chief has agreed to testify before the Senate Intelligence Committee about the investigation. The latest report was published just as Mr Trump took off on a flight to the Middle East for the first leg of his first foreign tour as president. \"I just fired the head of the F.B.I. He was crazy, a real nut job,\" Mr. Trump said, according to the report. \"I faced great pressure because of Russia. That's taken off.\" The White House has not disputed the language used in the meeting at the Oval Office between Mr Trump, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and the Russian Ambassador Sergei Kislyak. In another development, the Washington Post reported that a current White House official is a \"significant person of interest\" in the investigation into alleged links between the Trump campaign and Russia. It quoted unnamed sources familiar with the investigation as saying it was someone \"close to the president\" but they would not identify them further. The White House has denied there was collusion between the campaign and any \"foreign entity\". Evidence mounts - Anthony Zurcher, BBC North America reporter Donald Trump called the ongoing Russia investigation a \"witch hunt\", but reporters have just found a boiling cauldron and a closet full of broomsticks. The key takeaway from these latest blockbuster stories - there have been so many this week it's hard to keep count - is there's now further evidence of Mr Trump's intent to dismiss FBI Director James Comey because of his handling of the ongoing Russia investigation. That this revelation came as a result of a meeting with Russian officials, one of whom is a key figure in the investigation, is just the icing on the cake. What's more, it now appears this investigation has expanded to involve an individual who currently holds a senior post within the White House, not just an ex-aide (Michael Flynn) or campaign official (Paul Manafort). If that's the case, it's only a matter of time before subpoenas are issued and the entire administration adopts a bunker mentality. Donald Trump reportedly told his Russian guests that firing Mr Comey had relieved the \"great pressure\" his administration was under because of the Russia investigation. That, it turns out, was wishful thinking in the extreme. Warning that leaks were undermining national security, White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer said: \"By grandstanding and politicising the investigation into Russia's actions, James Comey created unnecessary pressure on our ability to engage and negotiate with Russia. \"The investigation would have always continued, and obviously, the termination of Comey would not have ended it.\" The BBC's Gary O'Donoghue, in Washington, says the White House has chosen to interpret the president's words as relating to the national interest rather than to himself. The summary was drawn from a formal account of last week's meeting, which was attended by Russian Ambassador Sergei Kislyak - a man at the centre of many of the controversial contacts between the Trump campaign and senior Russian officials. Mr Trump had fired Mr Comey the evening before, a move that sent shockwaves through Washington. Critics accused the president of trying to thwart the FBI investigation into Russia's alleged interference in the US election and any Moscow ties to Trump associates. Mr Comey has agreed to give details of the investigation to the US Senate Intelligence Committee at a public hearing, as well as take questions surrounding his dismissal. The date has not yet been scheduled, but is expected to take place next month.",

            "input": "Research published just before the first lockdown in March 2020 suggested young people in Wales had a \"very limited\" understanding of Welsh politics. Analysts from Beaufort Research spoke to 148 participants including 14 to 17-year-olds, disengaged adults and foreign nationals. Among the research it found there was: Nevertheless the same researchers found that 72% of 16 to 17-year-olds did want the right to vote, compared with 12% against. And since then, the coronavirus pandemic has offered a whole new level of awareness of the differences in who makes the rules in different parts of the UK, with Google searches over the last 12 months in Wales alone showing how many more people tried to find out what specific rules applied in what nation. In February, polling by the Electoral Reform Society (ERS) and YouGov found 69% of 16 to 24-year-olds thought the Senedd elections were important - a higher proportion than in any other age group, except the over-65s. 'We pay taxes but couldn't decide who spends them' \"From the age of just 16 you can legally give birth to a child and claim child tax credit, get married with parental consent, give consent to medical treatment that could change your life, join the Army, have an alcoholic drink with a meal, legally smoke cigarettes and the list goes on,\" said 16-year-old Georgie from Swansea. And up to now, the BBC young reporter competition entrant added, \"we even have to pay taxes, and yet we are prevented from electing the man or woman who decides how to spend them\". \"We still are being restrained from contributing to the choice of who is in charge of our country.\" Georgie believes there is a general lack of understanding about politics and wants more to be done to change this in order for younger people to play a more significant part in the UK political system. She feels more could be done in schools and colleges to educate people. \"We need to understand how votes work,\" she said. \"You need to be educated about the process of politics to be better informed and able to vote. \"There's so many different perspectives and you have to hear the wider views,\" she added. \"The debate that 16-year-olds should be allowed to vote has been around for many years, but now it is our turn to make it happen. \"There are well over a million 16-year-olds alone in the UK, and one way of many ways to start is if we managed to get them to start and sign a petition - surely that would get us noticed? \"That is the main point of this argument, to be noticed and have our say in our future. \"I recently turned 16. I strongly believe that anyone who is not classified as a minor [16-year-olds are not] should be given the opportunity to have their voice heard in a legal manner and the only possible way in my mind is through gaining the right to vote.\" 'There's a stigma behind teenagers voting' David from Newport, is studying maths, business and physics. The 17-year-old said: \"It's going to be the first official time we are going to be heard by the Senedd and people who want to listen to us. \"You can't put a price on that.\" He thinks \"there's a stigma behind teenagers\" when it comes to voting. \"They are considered to be reckless, and people don't think they understand how the government and politics work, but there is a real drive for 16 and 17-year-olds to have a voice on ethical and social issues.\" He described himself as the \"anomaly\" among his friends because he likes listening to what politicians have to say. However, he thinks this is because \"there's not anything in politics for young people\". For David, parties focusing on universities and bursaries is \"not enough to make people talk about politics\". He wants parties to focus more on education, particularly on apprenticeships and clearer curriculums, adding: \"It [university] might not be the future that some young people see themselves going into.\" For those that are unsure about voting in the upcoming election, he said researching each party's manifesto will help people \"truly understand what party is for you\". 'It's our future just as much as it is anyone else's' Lisha, 17, from Wrexham, said 16 and 17-year-olds \"deserve to have a say in what happens to us\". \"It's our future just as much as it is anyone else's,\" she said. However, she said a lot of her friends were not aware they could vote in the upcoming election, or do not fully understand what they would be voting for. \"If the parties made more of an effort to make it understandable and promote it more, I think it would be better so more people my age would actually be interested in it.\" She wants to see parties consider the environment, equality and LGBTQ+ issues. \"It's clear people my age want to make a difference and voting is an incredible thing to let us be able to do that,\" she added. But Lisha stressed that politics needs to be made more accessible if parties want young people to \"be more invested in our future\". 'Voting allows us to shape our future' Joel, from Newport, is \"excited\" to be able to vote for the first time after turning 16 a couple of weeks ago. He thinks it is important because it \"allows us to shape our future\". He said he does not \"have the greatest knowledge of politics but more and more I'm looking into these things and what my vote would mean\". Young people are increasingly being made aware of politics, with climate change and Brexit being talking points in school, he said. \"It [politics] does come up, it's something you see in the news and something you're drawn to talking about. \"I see adverts from parties on different apps like Instagram. \"It helps in giving a greater understanding of what politics is and what it allows us to do.\"",

She is one of the lead actresses in the Northern Irish film Wildfire, being screened at the Toronto International Film Festival in September. \"Obviously for me it's heartbreaking because as it turns out it will be her legacy,\" he said. \"We never believed she would get so sick and die so young.\" Ms McGuigan's family and Wildfire's cast crew and production staff were told of the film's success on the first anniversary of her death. Her father said the film's director Cathy Brady, who is from Newry, called them to pass on the news and they \"cried on the phone together\". \"It's doubly painful for us, so we really hope it does well. The fact that it got in to the Toronto international film festival is huge,\" he said. \"I'm so happy for the crew and the people involved but it's soul destroying for us\". Barry McGuigan said he and his family are thrilled for the film's writer and director, Ms Brady. \"She's hugely talented. It must be a really impactful film. I'm very looking forward to seeing it\". Ms Brady said it \"felt incredibly special and very bittersweet but it felt that somehow she was part of the magic\". \"Her one year anniversary was a difficult day and just to have a little bit of light was incredible. \"This will be Nika's first and final lead role,\" she said. Wildfire is set on the Irish border and tells the story of two sisters (Ms McGuigan and Nora-Jane Noone) as they come to terms with the mysterious death of their mother. But as they delve into the past, the truth has devastating consequences. 'The work has been done' Wildfire is one of 50 films to be selected for screening at the 2020 Toronto International Film Festival. The festival, which usually has more than 300 screenings, has been scaled back due to Covid-19 restrictions. \"I'm very proud of the island of Ireland and I'm very proud of the sheer talent and passion and vision that we have and our capabilities of story-telling is clearly world class,\" Ms Brady said. The cast, crew and producers will not be travelling to Toronto for the premiere due to the pandemic. Ms Brady added: \"It's very unusual times and that is difficult. We have put so much time and the circumstances have been so extreme in this film that it will go off and have its premiere without us. \"But in one way I feel like the work has been done. \"It really is about handing it over and hoping it connects to other people as much as it connected to us. \"Hopefully it will have a legacy now and a legacy especially for Nika,\" she said.",

Writing in the New York Times, Ms Tran says the abuse revived feelings she experienced growing up. The article addresses her feelings of cultural shame, racial stereotypes and society's narrow definitions of beauty. \"Their words reinforced a narrative I had heard my whole life: that I was 'other', that I didn't belong, that I wasn't good enough, simply because I wasn't like them,\" Tran writes. \"I believed those words, those stories, carefully crafted by a society that was built to uphold the power of one type of person - one sex, one skin tone, one existence.\" Tran also reveals she and her parents changed their first names after coming to the US so they would be easier for Americans to pronounce. The actress began to receive abuse after being cast as mechanic-turned-Resistance fighter Rose Tico in 2017's The Last Jedi. She writes that their comments \"awakened something deep inside me - a feeling I thought I had grown out of. The same feeling I had when at nine, I stopped speaking Vietnamese altogether because I was tired of hearing other kids mock me. \" But the actress says she came to realise she had been brainwashed, and shared her hopes for the future. \"I want to live in a world where children of colour don't spend their entire adolescence wishing to be white. I want to live in a world where women are not subjected to scrutiny for their appearance, or their actions, or their general existence. \"I want to live in a world where people of all races, religions, socio-economic classes, sexual orientations, gender identities and abilities are seen as what they have always been: human beings.\" She ends the piece by listing her achievements and writing: \"You might know me as Kelly... My real name is Loan. And I am just getting started.\" The honest opinion piece comes at a time of renewed discussion in the US about the importance of racial representation. Crazy Rich Asians topped the US box office on its debut and Netflix's new teen rom-com adaption To All the Boys I've Loved Before is being praised for keeping the novel's Asian-American lead. Fans online welcomed Tran's honesty in the New York Times piece on Tuesday. One social media user wrote: \"HIRE KELLY TRAN FOR EVERYTHING!!! AND USE HER REAL NAME!!!\" Another said: \"Immature misogynistic fan boys can't ruin Star Wars, as much as they'd like to try.\" Tran is not the first Star Wars star to fall victim to cyberbullying. Star Wars actress Daisy Ridley also deleted her Instagram account temporarily in 2016, reportedly due to abuse she received. The Last Jedi's director Rian Johnson described some of the franchise's fans as \"manbabies\" for abusing Tran. A \"man-only\" fan edit of the film, which cut out female characters, was also mocked by Tran's co-stars Mark Hamill and John Boyega. Boyega has called on fans to stop abusing actors, tweeting: \"If you don't like Star Wars or the characters, understand that there are decisions makers [sic] and harassing the actors/actresses will do nothing. \"You're not entitled to politeness when your approach is rude.

In a statement, the UN committee said the evictions would \"disproportionately affect the lives of the Gypsy and traveller families, particularly women, children and older people\". 'Discrimination and hostility' It said the evictions would create hardship, and called on the government to suspend them \"until culturally appropriate accommodation is identified and provided\". The statement added: \"The committee urges the state party to find a peaceful and appropriate solution which fully respects the rights of the families involved. \"Travellers and Gypsies already face considerable discrimination and hostility in wider society and the committee is deeply concerned that this could be worsened by actions taken by authorities in the current situation and by some media reporting on the issues.\" In response, the Department for Communities and Local Government said: \"The British courts have found that the developments at Dale Farm are in breach of planning law and Basildon District Council is within its rights to evict travellers from the site. \"It has taken 10 years of failed negotiations and legal process to reach this point, and the unprecedented level of unauthorised development on greenbelt land has severely damaged community relations.\" A press conference has been held at Dale Farm, following reports that up to 2,000 protesters were planning to descend on the site to clash with bailiffs and police. The travellers and their supporters denied claims they had been infiltrated by trouble-makers and said they were committed to non-violent resistance. Kathleen McCarthy, a traveller and Dale Farm resident, said: \"Anybody who is welcomed on this site will resist in a peaceful way. \"These supporters are welcome here and we remain determined to stay. \"We will resist the bailiffs and build barricades but none of us have weapons or anything like that.\" Supporters of the travellers have established Camp Constant, a protest camp next to the illegal site.

Communities Secretary Eric Pickles urged a \"good hard look\" at assets. But the Local Government Association said councils were saving \"millions\". The publication of the map follows several disputes between Whitehall and town halls about the impact of spending cuts outlined since the coalition came to power last year. Manchester City Council was the highest-profile critic, arguing that the £109m reduction in its budget was \"ideologically motivated\". But the government says it and other local authorities need to do more to cut waste. 'Way beyond' The map shows more than 180,000 assets owned by almost 600 public sector bodies, including central government and councils. Public sector assets are worth an estimated £385bn, with almost two thirds owned by councils, the Department for Communities and Local Government said. Among the items on the map are 40 hotels, around 20 cinemas and one airport, in Southend, Essex. Nearly 100 golf courses are shown, along with almost 30 sports stadiums, including those used by Swindon Rugby Club, Swindon Town Football club and Aldershot Football Club, and one sailing club. Mr Pickles said: \"We need to know, now more than ever, exactly what assets are publicly owned. The general public probably have no idea of the sheer scale and scope of property and land on the public sector's books. In many cases it goes way beyond traditional frontline services. \"I want the public sector to take a good hard look at what they own. By cataloguing each and every asset councils can help government find innovative new ways to utilise them, improve local services, keep council running costs down and save taxpayers' money.\" 'Smarter' For Labour, shadow local government minister Jack Dromey said: \"Councils have a duty to tackle waste and ensure the assets they hold deliver the best value for money for local people. \"However, nothing should deflect from the fact that the size and speed of the Tory-led government's decision to hit councils with deliberately frontloaded cuts has seen front-line services lost, cuts to charities and the voluntary sector and local jobs lost.\" Under current rules, revenue generated from the sale of council assets cannot go into running front-line services or paying wages. Peter Fleming, chairman of the Local Government Association's improvement board, said: \"Local authorities are saving millions of pounds through smarter use of their assets. \"This includes gathering different council services together under the one roof to reduce building management costs and sharing space with other councils, public bodies and the voluntary sector.\" He added: \"The key issue remains that if the public sector is to find really big savings then Whitehall has to look at its own assets. \"Government agencies and the NHS must stop working in isolation and start sharing office space with each other and local authorities.\"",

On average, spray cleaning products are nearly 5% more expensive than in March, while beans cost almost 3% more. The ONS says overall prices for high-demand products have remained stable. More chores Early in the pandemic, supermarkets including Lidl and Tesco limited the amount of tinned foods customers could buy amid fears that food shortages could be caused by shoppers stockpiling certain goods. With many people taking on more chores at home during the lockdown, and some choosing to disinfect items brought in from outside, demand for spray cleaning products has also increased. Statisticians tracked online prices for goods from several major UK retailers for 13 weeks, from just before the UK went into lockdown to 14 June. \"We began scraping prices on the 16 March for items that were subject to stockpiling early on in the pandemic, such as toilet paper, medication and long-life foods,\" said ONS prices statistician Helen Sands. While the prices of those goods have stayed relatively consistent, the cost of tinned beans and spray cleaning products have increased, she said. A Tesco spokesperson said the supermarket had not increased the price of either cleaning spray or beans, and any price rises across its range were due to the fact it stopped multi-buy offers on some products to stop shoppers stockpiling essential items. The ONS says the cost of a sample group of basic foods including pasta, flour and tinned soup increased 1% overall since mid-March, while a selection of household hygiene products went up by 1.1%. The Institute for Fiscal Studies has also been tracking grocery data during the coronavirus crisis. It found a fall in supermarket promotions during the first month of lockdown helped cause a 2.4% rise in the price of groceries in one month. A Sainsbury's spokeswoman said the supermarket didn't increase prices on tinned beans or cleaning spray, while other retailers contacted by the BBC didn't respond to a request for comment.",

German national Janet Muller, 21, was found in a burnt-out car by Ifield Golf Club, near Horsham, on 13 March. Jeffrey-Shaw had been found guilty of manslaughter but not of the alternative charge of murdering Ms Muller. Sentencing Jeffrey-Shaw, the judge, Mr Justice Jeremy Stuart-Smith, said: \"The only difference between you and a murderer is an extremely thin line.\" Ms Muller's beaten and burned body was found in the boot of a Volkswagen Jetta which the defendant had dumped. Jeffrey-Shaw, who has previous convictions for blackmail and harassment, had admitted setting the car alight but denied murder, claiming he did not know the Brighton University student was in the car. He told the court he had been involved with drug dealers who borrowed his hire car for a robbery which went wrong, then ordered him to set fire to the vehicle. 'Callous beyond belief' On sentencing, Mr Justice Jeremy Stuart-Smith said he rejected the defendant's account and ruled he had witnessed her being put in the car. He said: \"I cannot find, on the basis of the jury's verdict, he was responsible for the head injuries, but he knew she was in the boot.\" Speaking directly to Jeffrey-Shaw, he said: \"What you did was deeply shocking and callous beyond belief and at every stage since you set fire to the car in which she died, you have lied and lied in your attempt to evade all responsibility for what you did. \"On the jury's verdict, the only reason you are not guilty of murder is because you did not have the human decency to check if the person in the boot of your car was dead or alive.\" He added: \"You deprived Miss Muller's parents of their daughter and her twin sister of her other half in a most devastating way.\" After the verdict, Miss Muller's family said they were not happy it was manslaughter rather than murder. Detective Supt Karen Mizzi told the BBC: \"We respect the decision of the jury... We knew Mr Jeffrey-Shaw and Janet Muller were in Brighton at roughly the same time but we were not able to secure evidence that brought them together... That was a significant issue for the jury to consider.\" She added: \"We are not able to fully understand what happened between the time Ms Muller last seen alive and the time she was found in the car. \"Unless there is new information, it is very difficult for us to continue our enquiries.\"",

A study by BBC Scotland last year found parents in Angus were offered £20, while those in West Lothian got £110. Equalities Secretary Angela Constance said the Scottish government wanted to see an acceptable level of grant across Scotland. Deputy first minister John Swinney is to meet with local authorities to discuss a minimum grant. At the moment the grant ranges from twenty to more than a hundred pounds between councils. Anti-poverty campaigners say some families are cutting back on essentials to afford uniforms. Figures taken from a forthcoming publication produced by Glasgow Centre for Population Health suggested the cost of providing a school uniform for children in Scotland was about £129. Child Poverty Bill Ahead of pupils returning to school after the summer holidays, charities - the Child Poverty Action Group, the Poverty Truth Commission and One Parent Families Scotland - said they wanted parents to take to social media to share their views on the true cost of clothing a child for school. They are also asking parents to write to their MSPs, highlighting the need for a minimum school clothing grant for the whole of Scotland. Earlier this year, Scottish ministers gained the power to introduce a minimum school clothing grant through an amendment to the Education (Scotland) Act 2016. On Monday, the Scottish government launched a consultation on its Child Poverty Bill. The legislation, due to be introduced next year, aims to build on existing work, and form part of the government's overall approach to tackling poverty and inequality in Scotland. Ministers want to hear from local government, businesses, the third sector and those on low incomes about what they think can be done to end the cycle of poverty. 'Feeling comfortable' A spokeswoman said: \"The school clothing grants provision, introduced in the Education Scotland Act 2016, will provide welcome support for families who need it most, ensuring that all children and young people have suitable clothing to enable them to learn and thrive at school. \"The deputy first minister will shortly be meeting with Cosla to discuss the school clothing grant and agree eligibility criteria and a minimum grant level to ensure those families across Scotland who need support receive it.\" John Dickie, director of CPAG in Scotland said: \"Though the responsibility to ensure school clothing grants are adequate ultimately lies with local authorities, the Scottish government has a golden opportunity to set a minimum rate for the whole of Scotland, helping to ensure every child can return to school feeling comfortable, confident and ready to learn. \"If government is serious about closing the attainment gap it is small but significant measures like this that can make all the difference.\" Satwat Rehman, head of One Parent Families Scotland, added: \"The cost of school uniforms is leaving many children in low income families at risk of bullying and embarrassment because they are sent to school in ill-fitting clothes or in clothes which don't meet the dress code. \"Parents are paying hundreds of pounds for school uniforms, with many poor having to cut back on essentials in order to afford them.\"",

She said both leaders remained committed to the \"Le Touquet\" border agreement in Calais - the UK has announced an extra £44.5m to be spent on beefing up Channel border security. Mr Macron said the Sandhurst Treaty signed on Thursday - the first joint treaty on the Calais border in 15 years - would \"enable us to improve the relationship and the management of the joint border\" and reduce the time taken to process migrants. It would mean the time taken to process migrants hoping to come to the UK from Calais, would be reduced from six months to one month for adults and 25 days for children. It \"will enable us both to have a more humane approach to these people and to be more efficient\" while also encouraging trade through the Channel ports, said the president. Mrs May said it was in Britain's national interest, as well as France's, to commit more resources to Calais security and stressed the two countries' joint commitments to defence and security measures. She said a combined joint expeditionary force would be ready to deploy up to 10,000 troops \"quickly and effectively to face any threat\" by 2020. And the prime minister said a multi-million pound deal to build 36 A380 passenger aircraft for Emirates Airlines had been signed by Airbus, which has plants in France and the UK. She also confirmed that the Bayeux Tapestry will come to the UK in 2022 - a gesture President Macron said he hoped would \"open a new chapter when it comes to our cultural co-operation and scientific co-operation\". \"We are making a new tapestry together,\" he said. The summit between Mrs May and Mr Macron, at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst in Berkshire, also featured the first meeting of the heads of Britain and France's five intelligence agencies, and is being attended by British cabinet ministers and their French counterparts. And with Brexit very much on the agenda for both nations, Mr Macron said that the history between the two countries could not be \"impacted by changes in institutions\". 'Be my guest' Challenged about his opposition to including financial services in any EU-UK free trade agreement, he said: \"I am here neither to punish nor to reward. I want to make sure that the single market is preserved because that is very much the heart of the EU.\" He said if the UK wanted access to the single market, including financial services, \"be my guest. But it means that you need to contribute to the budget and acknowledge European jurisdiction\". New Channel 'link'? Mrs May said she recognised that there would be \"a different relationship in future\" but added: \"I think the City of London will continue to be a major global financial centre. That is an advantage not just for the UK, it's actually good for Europe and good for the global financial system.\" Meanwhile Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson has hinted at the prospect of a second crossing for the English Channel - tweeting: \"Our economic success depends on good infrastructure and good connections. Should the Channel Tunnel be just a first step?\" A source close to the foreign secretary told the BBC that Mr Johnson had suggested to President Macron that a new \"fixed link\" between UK and France was needed. Anglo-French co-operation Other commitments include the deployment of three RAF Chinook helicopters in Mali, where French forces are fighting Islamist militants, and France sending more troops to reinforce a British contingent in Estonia on Nato's border with Russia. Downing Street said the RAF Chinooks would offer a \"niche capability\", providing logistical support for the French operation in Mali, but that Britain would not be committing combat troops. The border offer During last year's French election campaign, Mr Macron said he wanted to renegotiate or scrap the 2003 Le Touquet agreement, which established French border controls in Britain and UK controls in Calais. The agreement means undocumented migrants barred from entering the UK stay in France - many in makeshift camps. Up to 700 migrants are in the area, despite the camp known as the \"Jungle\" having been dismantled in 2016. The UK government is already thought to have spent more than £100m on security in the area over the past three years, and officials said the number of illegal attempts to enter the UK fell from 80,000 in 2015 to just over 30,000 last year. Other \"juxtaposed\" border controls are in operation at Eurostar stations in France and Belgium. How the leaders shape up By James Robbins, BBC diplomatic correspondent Britain and France carry much the same weight in global affairs. Both sit at the world's most exclusive tables of power - the Security Council and the G7 - and the sizes of their populations and economies are broadly similar too. But while President Macron commands France, including his parliament, after last year's stunning electoral successes - the same cannot be said of Theresa May. Sharp disagreements over the UK border with France are difficult to resolve. Mrs May has conceded extra money for border security in Calais - and has separately offered Chinook helicopters to move French troops more safely over Mali. Mr Macron, meanwhile, has offered the loan of the Bayeux tapestry. But Brexit still threatens to overshadow all this bonhomie. When it comes to Europe, these two countries are pulling in radically different directions. UK opposition leader's reaction to the summit",

Boss Noel Quinn said the whole bank was embracing \"hybrid working\" and he would no longer come in five days a week. \"My leadership team and I have moved to a fully open-plan floor with no designated desks,\" he said on Linkedin. Up to now, senior managers have been based on the 42nd floor of the building in east London in their own private offices. But in future, they will be jostling for workspaces two floors down, while their old offices have been transformed into client meeting rooms and other communal spaces. Mr Quinn told the FT that the old arrangement had been \"a waste of real estate\", adding: \"Our offices were empty half the time because we were travelling around the world.\" In a separate post on LinkedIn he said that after more than a year working from home, being based in an open plan office would allow him to \"reconnect with colleagues and friends [and] be able to speak to them informally\". 'Hybrid working' He added that most staff at the bank would be able to work part-time from home in future. \"A minority of roles can be done wholly remotely.

            "input": "By Pallab GhoshScience correspondent, BBC News The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is making its final preparations to send an orbiter to the Red Planet. The principal aim is to test out India's space technology to see if this emerging space-faring nation is capable of interplanetary missions. The spacecraft will also collect scientific information about the planet's atmosphere and surface. The Mangalyaan probe was to have been launched as early as 28 October, but rough weather in the Pacific forced officials to delay the launch by a week. The unmanned mission has a launch window lasting until 19 November. If the mission succeeds, ISRO will become only the fourth space agency, after those in the US, Europe and Russia to have successfully sent a spacecraft to Mars. According to Pallava Bagla, science editor of New Delhi television news and author of a book about India's space efforts, Destination Moon, the country's public are especially excited about the possibility of beating China to the Red Planet. \"If India does beat China to Mars you can imagine the national pride,\" he told BBC News. The mission was announced in August last year by India's Prime Minister Manmohan Singh during his independence day speech, delivered from the ramparts of one of New Delhi's most iconic buildings - the Red Fort. \"Anything said from the ramparts of the Red Fort is always replete with national pride and national pride is written very largely and boldly on this mission,\" according to Mr Bagla. In 2011, a Chinese attempt to send a spacecraft named Yinghou-1 to Mars was aborted because of a technical problem. The Indian space agency then fast-tracked its Mars mission, called Mangalyaan, readying it in just 15 months. India has had a space programme for more than 30 years. Until recently, its priority has been to develop technologies that would directly help its poor population, such as improving its telecommunications infrastructure and environmental monitoring with satellites. But in 2008, ISRO translated its formidable capability to build and launch satellites toward exploration and send a probe to the Moon, Chandrayaan-1. The lunar mission cost more than £55m. Now the government has spent a further £60m to go to Mars. Poverty Some have questioned the government's shift away from building infrastructure towards exploration, and wonder whether the money could have been better spent. It is a point that draws this robust response from Mr Bagla: \"You can't bring the 400 million people who live in poverty in India out of poverty with this £60 million,\" he says. The shift towards exploration is also a hard-headed one by officials in the hope that it will have clear economic benefits, according to Prof Andrew Coates, who rejoices in the impressive title of \"Head of the Solar System\" at the Mullard Space Sciences Laboratory in Surrey, part of University College London. \"The exploration programme gives them something very high to aim for. If they can show the world they have what it takes to send spacecraft to other planets they can begin to sell launches and space on its launch vehicles to scientific organisations. It also brings India to the table of international space science exploration,\" Prof Coates explained. Developing satellites and developing launchers is now big business. If India, or for that matter China, ease up on their investments in space exploration there is a risk that they could lose out, not least on the vital expertise that this cutting edge endeavour brings to their respective countries. Big business Sandeep Chachra, executive director of the poverty eradication charity Action Aid in India believes that investment in space exploration could potentially benefit the country's poorest. \"Investing in new technology, including space technology is an important part of the aspirations for an economy such as India. Developing a sophisticated technological base in a country with this level of poverty is not a simplistic contradiction \" he told BBC News. \"What is important is to harness the advances that science and technology bring for the greater good and to use those advances to overcome ingrained poverty and build hope for future generations\". China though remains the greater power in space. The China National Space Administration (CNSA) has a well developed astronaut programme and an orbiting laboratory called Tiangong-1. The CNSA is planning to send its Chang'e-3 spacecraft and accompanying rover to the Moon in December. The mission is part of an ambitious plan to send more robotic probes to the Moon with a view to eventually sending astronauts to the lunar surface. The Japanese Space Agency (Jaxa) is also a major force in the region. It is by far the most experienced Asian space agency, with numerous unmanned scientific interplanetary missions under its belt. \"India, China and Japan are certainly eyeing each other up,\" says Prof Coates. The growing rivalry is likely to see a new boom in space exploration - one that will eventually lead to more collaborative missions between the emerging space-faring nations in Asia. That might eventually lead to a truly global effort to send astronauts to Mars. Follow Pallab on Twitter",

Historic England bought the derelict site in 2005 and a major renovation is expected to be completed in 2021. Chief executive Duncan Wilson said it was a \"significant milestone\" in bringing the building back into use. A £20.7m Heritage Lottery grant and funding from Historic England, Shropshire Council and the Friends of the Flaxmill Maltings will see the mill and the Grade II kiln become a new learning and enterprise quarter. During the Industrial Revolution, the mill was Shrewsbury's largest employer with more than 800 men, women and children manufacturing flax into linen cloth before it closed in 1886, Historic England said. It later reopened to produce malt for the brewing industry and went on to serve as a barracks for soldiers during World War Two before finally closing as a maltings in 1987 and then falling into disrepair. In 2015 after restoration work, the Grade II-listed office and stables were converted into a small exhibition and visitor centre. Now, 15,000 slates from Penrhyn Quarry, the only remaining source of original North Wales slate, have been used to restore the roof, which the mill would have had when it was first constructed. \"This moment, seeing the scaffolding coming down after a decade and the original roof completely restored is a significant milestone in the project to restore Shrewsbury Flaxmill Maltings,\" Mr Wilson said: \"The sensitively renovated building will create a much-needed hub for the area - of industry, learning and creativity.\" There are eight listed buildings on the site, Historic England said.",

            "input": "The sector will also be restricted by law to table service only. Cabinet Office minister Michael Gove said people should also work from home \"if they can\" and trials of spectators at sports fixtures would be \"paused\". The full measures will be set out by the prime minister in the House of Commons later. Boris Johnson will also address the nation in a live broadcast at 20:00 BST on Tuesday. It comes as the UK's Covid-19 alert level moved to 4, meaning transmission is \"high or rising exponentially\". Mr Gove told BBC Breakfast that there was evidence the 22:00 closing time has a \"beneficial effect\" on the spread of the virus in areas where the restriction has already been tried. He denied the government was wrong to relax coronavirus measures against the virus in the summer, describing the new restrictions as a \"recalibration which we hope and believe will be enough to check the spread\". \"We're not going back to the sorts of measures that we had in the spring,\" he said. \"If people can work from home they should\", he added. \"But I stress that it's very important that those people whose jobs require them to be in a specific workplace do so.\" Mr Gove said plans for sport with live audiences to return from 1 October were being halted \"for the moment\" because of the risk of fans mixing on the way to the stadium or during half-time. The government's chief scientific adviser Sir Patrick Vallance has warned there could be 50,000 new coronavirus cases a day by mid-October without further action - which, he said, could lead to more than 200 deaths per day by mid-November. Prof Calum Semple, an expert in outbreak medicine at the University of Liverpool, told BBC Breakfast current data was \"tracking the worst-case scenario quite accurately\". He said there was now a rise in hospital admissions, including among women aged 20 to 40, who were at risk of exposure to the virus because of their work in hospitality, caring roles or because they were parents of schoolchildren. The UK needed \"quite a lot more\" restrictions in place to prevent the spread, and the hospitality industry will probably have to take another \"hit\", Prof Semple said. Andy Wood, chief executive of the Adnams brewery, told the Today programme that the pub industry had taken health messages seriously and it seemed \"incongruous\" to be singled out. He said the industry was still \"on life support\" with about 900,000 jobs at risk. On Monday, a further 4,368 daily cases and 11 deaths were reported in the UK. Also: What difference will it make? People are understandably asking what difference closing at 22:00 makes. Coupled with the table service law, it will be little more than a marginal gain. But what ministers hope is that the move, along with the rule of six, will act as a warning to the public that efforts to curb the virus need to be redoubled. What remains to be seen is whether any other restrictions will accompany this move. It seems inevitable that the virus will continue to spread - that's what respiratory viruses do during winter, especially one for which there is limited immunity and no vaccine. But how quickly and widely - no one knows. The risk of trying to suppress the virus is the government will soon find itself having to make another decision about further steps. How far are ministers prepared to go? Every restriction that is taken has a negative consequence to society. But the nature of the virus means lives will undoubtedly be lost the more it spreads. Balancing those two harms will define the next six months. The cabinet will meet on Tuesday morning and Boris Johnson will also chair a Cobra emergency meeting - which will be attended by the first ministers of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Speaking about the new closing times, a No 10 spokesperson said: \"We know this won't be easy, but we must take further action to control the resurgence in cases of the virus and protect the NHS.\" Tighter restrictions on pub and restaurant opening times are already in place in parts of north-east and north-west England, and Wales. Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey described the new rules as \"a step backwards\", as he urged the government to fix the test and trace system and help the hospitality sector. \"After people have already been through so much hardship, we cannot allow thousands of jobs to disappear overnight,\" he said. There were also calls for support from within the hospitality sector. Kate Nicholls, chief executive of trade body UKHospitality, said the new rules should be \"applied with flexibility\", and that a 22:00 closing time was \"bad for business and bad for controlling the virus\". She added: \"Table service has been widely adopted in some parts of the sector since reopening, but it is not necessary across all businesses, such as coffee shops.\" Meanwhile, Michael Kill, chief executive of the Night-Time Industries Association, warned the move would result in a \"surge of unregulated events and house parties\". If Boris Johnson had decreed a year ago that he was going to call last orders on the pub at 22:00, the ravens might have left the Tower. But given the terrible warnings from the government's top scientists on Monday, the kind of strict measures that ministers had been discussing - and the extent of restrictions that many people are already living with in some of our towns and cities - you might wonder if what the prime minister has ended up deciding is less stringent than it might have been. As we have talked about many times, Downing Street is all too aware of the economic havoc the restrictions around the pandemic have caused. Logically, therefore, it has always only wanted to take action when it has felt absolutely urgent. It is also the case that, as we enter a second surge, more is understood about the virus itself. That means the government ought to be able to take a more sophisticated approach to managing the spread, rather than blunt, blunderbuss nationwide measures. At least for now, the prime minister has concluded there is a narrow, but real chance to put the brakes on the outbreak before taking more draconian steps. Read more from Laura. It comes as Christopher Snowdon, head of lifestyle economics at free-market think tank the Institute of Economic Affairs, said the latest restrictions seemed \"to have emerged from a random policy generator\" as he called on the government to publish the evidence upon which it was based. \"While mandatory table service has been part of the successful Swedish approach and may have merit, the new closing time will be devastating to a hospitality sector that was already suffering after the first lockdown,\" he said.

On Monday, Mr Spacey posted a video in which he appears to deny any wrongdoing while in character as Frank Underwood from House of Cards. \"I'm certainly not going to pay the price for the things I didn't do,\" he says in the clip. \"You wouldn't believe the worst without evidence, would you?\" he asks. \"You wouldn't rush to judgements without facts.\" The alleged victim is the son of former television news presenter Heather Unruh, who spoke publicly about the incident last year. She accused Mr Spacey of buying her then 18-year-old son alcohol - the drinking age in Massachusetts is 21 - and then groping him. In the video, Mr Spacey speaks in Frank Underwood's accent and addresses the viewer directly, much like he did throughout his five seasons on House of Cards. \"Of course some believed everything,\" he says. \"They're just waiting with bated breath to hear me confess it all.\" \"They're going to say I'm being disrespectful, not playing by the rules,\" he adds. \"Like I ever played by anyone's rules before. I never did. And you loved it.\" Frank Underwood was the power-hungry and conniving protagonist of the Netflix series, and murdered a journalist and a politician before he was killed off ahead of season six. The three-minute clip, which is titled Let Me Be Frank, marks Mr Spacey's first public appearance since the first allegation of sexual assault was made against him last November. He was accused by actor Anthony Rapp of making a sexual advance in 1986 and a number of other allegations have since emerged. Mr Spacey said he had no memory of the event but publicly apologised before issuing an \"absolute\" denial of the other allegations.

It said it fell outside of California's statute of limitations. UK police are also investigating several allegations that centre around his time serving as artistic director at London's Old Vic theatre. The controversy has led to Mr Spacey being axed from a number of roles, including from House of Cards and the 2017 film All the Money in the World, which was re-shot without him.

            "input": "By Jane CorbinBBC News As I climbed the steep mountain path above the plain of Nineveh, Iraq, the sound of monks chanting and the smell of incense drifted out of the 4th Century monastery of St Matthew. Once, 7,000 monks worshipped here when Christianity was the official religion of the Roman empire. Almost the whole population was Christian then. Their numbers have dwindled and now there are only six monks - and no pilgrims dare to visit. \"We are on the frontline with Isis and people are afraid to come here,\" Father Yusuf told me. \"We are worried about everything: our people, our family, Christianity.\" Kurdish fighters guard the monastery and on the plain I heard artillery fire and saw plumes of smoke from Western airstrikes on the positions of IS, the so-called Islamic State. They swept across the plain of Nineveh last year, forcing tens of thousands of Christians to flee from Mosul, Iraq's second city, and surrounding towns and villages. A handful of families have taken refuge in the monastery, as Christians have done for centuries since Islamic armies first swept across the plain in the 7th Century with the Arab conquest. Thirteen-year-old Nardine is all too aware of what IS fighters do to girls they regard as infidels. \"They are very cruel, they are very harsh,\" Nardine whispered fearfully. \"Everyone knows, they took the Yazidi girls and sold them in the market.\" \"Isis have no mercy for anyone. They select women to rape them,\" said Nardine's mother. \"We were afraid for our daughters so we ran away.\" When IS declared their caliphate (Islamic state) last year with beheadings - even crucifixions - thousands of Christians fled in terror. IS want to impose their brutal version of Islam and have sworn to purify the region of infidels, targeting Christians and other minorities. The Peshmerga (Muslim Kurdish fighters) took me to their front line with IS, a few miles from the monastery where they are holding back the advance of the Islamic militants who have killed many Muslims. The Kurds do not agree with the extreme form of Islam that IS espouses and the Peshmerga general assured me they would protect the Christians. \"We lived here for many years as brothers - there is no difference between Kurds, Muslims and Christians different religions in Kurdistan,\" said General Hameed Afandi. In Erbil in Kurdistan, thousands of displaced Christians are crammed into a half-built shopping mall. I met Leila and Imad Aziz preparing food for a Christian festival with their two little girls. They fled from Mosul last summer when IS occupied the city, giving Christians the choice of converting to Islam, leaving the city or paying the jizya - the heavy tax imposed on Christian subjects by Muslim rulers centuries ago. \"We can't go back to Mosul for fear of being killed, kidnapped or robbed,\" Imad told me. \"I believe that in four to five years, very few Christians will remain. They will be pointing fingers at them saying: 'He's a Christian.'\" Leila crossed herself as she remembers how they were forced to pass through IS roadblocks where everything was taken from them - money, jewellery, even clothes. \"We can't ever return to Mosul as we have nothing left there,\" she says. Once the family had their own successful business and a nice home. Now all they have is a few battered photos to remember their former life. In St Ilyas church, Erbil, I met Father Douglas Bazi - a Catholic priest who is caring for 135 families in tents in the gardens of the church. \"We are Christian, so we are used to having our luggage always prepared,\" said Father Douglas. \"We always have to run away - escape from place to place.\" This wave of persecution began not with IS but when Britain and America invaded Iraq in 2003 to topple Saddam Hussein. Under his rule, Christians were free to worship and played a full role in this society. \"Saddam's era was the golden age for Christians,\" said Father Douglas, although he adds that he did not personally agree with Saddam's rule. As the Western coalition failed to provide security for Iraq, it descended into chaos and Christians became victims of the ugly sectarian power struggle unleashed between Shia and Sunni Muslims. \"They looked at the West as infidels and as Christians we were seen in the same way,\" Father Douglas explained. The priest's church in Baghdad was bombed and he was taken hostage by a militia and held until the Church paid a ransom. Father Douglas shows me the blood-stained shirt he was captured in and described how his captors broke his back with a hammer, then his teeth - one by one. \"If you look at history, we are the same group who lose every time,\" he continued. \"They push us to lose our faith, our people, our role, our positions, our job, now we have lost our homes - so what next?\" A million people, two-thirds of Iraq's Christians, fled in the decade following the fall of Saddam. The same story is being repeated across the Middle East, where the Arab Spring unleashed forces that turned against Christians and the authoritarian leaders who once protected them. In Syria, much of the ancient town of Maaloula still lies in ruins after months of fierce fighting in 2013 between Islamic militants allied to al-Qaeda and the regime forces of President Bashar al-Assad. Three thousand Christians fled when the militants occupied this ancient place of pilgrimage, one of only three places in the world where they still speak Aramaic - the language of Jesus Christ. Government forces initially withdrew from Maaloula leaving the Christians, some claim, to their fate. But eventually the regime retook the town and a few Christians are beginning to trickle back. Antoinette Nasrullah took me to what is left of her home and business, a cafe once popular with tourists. Now it is just a roofless wreck. \"It was my dream,\" Antoinette says, breaking down in tears. \"We never believed the Muslims would do this to us… but we have to be strong and thank God we are alive.\" Muslim families from Maaloula fled the fighting too but have not been allowed to return to their homes. The Christians accuse them of helping the militants. The 6th Century monastery of St Sergius was occupied by rebels and Antoinette showed me smashed treasures and bullets through the faces of the icons. \"They stole icons very rich in history,\" Antoinette explained. \"We are very sad about the icons. It affects us very much.\" More than 200,000 people have died in Syria's four years of civil war. They are overwhelmingly Muslim, many killed by the regime. President Assad himself visited the monastery when his troops retook the town. He needs the Christians to support him. Maaloula was seen by many Christians in Syria as a turning point. They have had to make hard choices and many have now put their faith in the regime as the only option if their religion is to survive. \"The government are the only ones who can help the Christians stay in Syria,\" says Antoinette. \"Maaloula is in my heart, I cannot leave it because if there are no Christians in Maaloula, I think there will be no Christians in Syria.\" Church leaders in the West have called for concrete steps to be taken to protect Christians in the Middle East. It is hard to know what those steps would be beyond the airstrikes, military training and special forces operations already in place. There is no appetite for more Western boots on the ground. In Erbil, Father Douglas believes it may already be too late for Christianity to survive here. The West, instead of urging Christians to stay in Iraq, should help them leave. \"Open the gates, give my people visas,\" said the priest. \"We have to provide them with dignity and the right life - not prepare them to be sheep, again to be killed.\" This World: Kill The Christians will be broadcast on BBC Two on Wednesday 15 April at 21:00 BST, or catch up via BBC iPlayer.",

Asked about the election, he politely but firmly declines. \"The only thing I care about at the moment is getting me and my girlfriend out of here. Out of this place.\" When it was built in the 1960s, Brooke House was marketed as luxury housing for lawyers, doctors and business executives. Now, the majority of the block's 84 flats are council-owned and its occupants are diverse, both in age and background. Many did not want to talk politics when approached by the BBC. Their concerns are varied, according to the tower's Facebook group. Matters range from the noxious odour resembling \"a dead farm animal\" on the second floor, to the decommissioning of the block's gas supply to the huge building site abandoned on their doorstep (the contractor for a cinema complex recently went into administration). Some speak of fractured trust between Parliament and \"the people\". Resident Mark Murray is less interested in the NHS, housing policy and education. What he wants most from Westminster is not a new policy, sound byte or pledge, but a single virtue shared by all MPs: honesty. \"When you promise to do something and you don't do it, that's dishonesty,\" says Mr Murray, who has lived at Brooke House for seven years. He is referring specifically to his view on how Brexit has been handled and believes the issue has broken many people's faith in the government - his own included. \"It needs a change, we need new faces and honest people - it needs to be people who say what they will do and then do what they say.\" For student midwife Mutale Daka, education - particularly funding higher education - is the issue she is most concerned by. The 25-year-old, who combines being a student at Anglia Ruskin University in Chelmsford with work at Basildon Hospital, said the current funding arrangements for student midwives was almost enough to put her off applying in the first place. The government scrapped the bursaries for trainee midwives and student nurses in 2016. They were replaced with loans. \"Now we don't get that funding and I am on housing benefit and have to apply for a loan, which will put me further into debt. \"A lot of people are being discouraged from becoming student nurses or trainee midwives because of the loans they will have to take out for training. It is the biggest problem.\" And Ms Daka fears what she is seeing with people being put off nursing or midwifery because of financial concerns is the beginning of greater staff shortages in the future. A brief guide to Brooke House Basildon was built to ease post-war overcrowding in London and the designation order was signed in 1949. Built in 1960-62, Brooke House was designed by architect Anthony Davies, the chief architect and planner to the Basildon Development Corporation. Built from concrete with dark brown, handmade, brick cladding, there are six flats on each floor. The tower block is raised up 8m (24ft) on v-shaped reinforced concrete pilotis. Zelda Jeffers is equally concerned about the future of the NHS, as well as climate change and the state of education. But she does not believe any politician, regardless of party, will solve any of the issues. \"I don't like any of them, I don't trust any of them and I won't have anything to do with any of them,\" she says. \"The good thing about governments is they are completely reliable. They always let you down.\" That's not to say she doesn't vote - she does. \"I voted to leave the EU because of how it treats migrants and asylum seekers. Yes, that's a different reason, I know, to why many others voted to leave the EU. \"And I vote for local councillors if I know them and like them - but I vote for them as a person.\" As for the election, Ms Jeffers says she is \"not interested\". When Brooke House was completed in 1962, it was named after the then minister of housing and local government, Henry Brooke. Whether today's residents would name their home after a parliamentarian, given the choice, it seems unlikely. Use the form below to send us your questions and we could be in touch.

The charity Guide Dogs is calling for a change in the law so that the authorities have more power to prosecute the owners of dogs involved in attacks. The organisation has recorded more than 180 attacks since 2010. 'Attack on person' Last year, six guide dogs, which cost about £50,000 to train, were forced to retire because of the physical and psychological damage suffered. The charity's Graham Kensett said he was \"absolutely shocked and appalled\" at \"irresponsible\" owners not controlling their dogs. He said: \"These attacks not only cause physical scarring where dogs are concerned, but also psychological scarring. \"Whilst their dogs are not working, the guide dog owners can't go out, they can't work the dogs, they're not independently mobile. In fact they're close to being prisoners in their own home. \"We'd like to see changes to the law to allow authorities to treat attacks on assistance dogs like an attack on a person. \"We'd like the police to be proactive, to be able to press charges where dangerous dogs which are out of control attack guide dogs or assistance dogs.\" The charity says the problem is that attacks on guide dogs mostly fall outside the law because dog-on-dog attacks are not often prosecuted. It argues the effect of such attacks can be devastating for owners who rely on the dogs, as well as the animals themselves. The attacks are happening across the country. Margaret Fletcher's dog Molly was unable to work for a week after an attack at a bus stop in Norwich city centre. Peter Neeley, from Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, was on holiday when a pitbull-type dog locked on to his dog's neck. 'Punching dog' The guide dog belonging to Gemma Brown, from Southampton, has suffered six attacks, the worst of which was outside a coffee shop. Ms Brown, who has limited sight, tried to intervene, but the aggressor \"grabbed Gus [her guide dog] by the throat.\" She said: \"The owners of the dog couldn't get their dog to let go. \"They couldn't get it back under control, so they started punching their dog in the head to try and get it to let go. Then in the process then punched Gus in the head several times.\" PC Keith Evans, from West Midlands Police, said: \"We will use the legislation that we currently have, and any further legislation, to bring these people to task and ensure that people have the trust and confidence in the police.\"",

It will only become law if it is supported in Victoria's upper house. Victoria will become Australia's first state to legalise assisted dying if the next vote is successful. The proposed law would allow terminally ill patients who are in severe pain to request lethal medication from doctors.

Mohammad Tariq Mahmood said his family was given no reason why US officials had refused to allow them to board. US officials said travellers were not barred based on religious beliefs. Downing Street said Prime Minister David Cameron would respond to the issues raised. Family 'livid' Ms Creasy has written to Mr Cameron, urging him to press the US authorities on what she said was \"a growing problem\" of British Muslims being barred from the US without explanation. She said she had \"hit a brick wall\" in her own attempts to get answers from the US embassy. \"A lot of Muslim constituents are now saying to me that they're frightened about flying. They're frightened they're going to lose money, they're frightened they're not going to be able to see relatives.\" She told BBC Radio 5 live she was aware of four other UK cases of Muslims being denied entry to the US. \"Nobody knows why these people were stopped. We do know what the common denominator is between them. All of us agree we've absolutely got to be vigilant about tackling terrorism, and we've got to be clear prejudice hasn't got a part to play in that,\" she added. Mr Mahmood, who was travelling with his brother and their children, aged eight to 19, had planned to visit their elder brother in southern California and go to the theme parks. He said UK Border officials told them at the departure lounge that they were not allowed to board the plane, despite them all having authorisation to travel under the US Visa Waiver Programme. His brother Mahmood Zahid Mahmood, with whom he was travelling, told the BBC: \"Just before the final check to get into the lounge we were singled out. \"A man from UK Border Force came and said, 'I'm sorry you can't board this flight. We received a call from Washington DC that we can't allow this family to board the flight.'\" He said he had educated his children \"to live in this country peacefully\" and had been invited to speak at local schools about Islamophobia. He told BBC Radio 5 live it had seemed a clear case of discrimination. He said his children were \"traumatised, really upset\" after their cancelled trip, saying, \"They think they've done something wrong.\" \"I want an explanation, and what's going to happen next. I would still like to go to America, I would like my kids to fulfil their dreams.\" The family said the airline Norwegian had told them they would not be refunded the £9,000 cost of their flights. They said they were also forced to return everything they had purchased at Gatwick's duty-free shops before being escorted from the airport. Mahmood Zahid Mahmood also said he had been refused entry to Israel eight years ago. He and another man remained at the airport before returning on a flight two days later. He added that he was not held for eight days, as had previously been reported. The brothers' other brother, also Muhammad, who runs an auto repair shop in San Bernardino, California, said he could think of no reason why his relatives would represent a threat to the United States and called on his government to explain its actions. \"They can get away with anything by saying national security… and you can not even challenge that,\" he told the BBC. \"There needs to be a reason given.\" 'Complete uproar' A US Customs and Border Protection spokesman said: \"The religion, faith, or spiritual beliefs of an international traveller are not determining factors about his or her admissibility into the US. \"In order to demonstrate that they are admissible, the applicant must overcome all grounds of inadmissibility.\" The spokesman also said there were 60 categories of inadmissibility, including health-related, prior criminal convictions, security reasons and immigration violations. UK immigration minister James Brokenshire said the government would look into the incident but ultimately the decision was up to the US authorities. But chairman of the home affairs select committee Keith Vaz said there seemed to be a growing pattern of British citizens being refused entry to the US. \"This is one of our closest allies in the world and the way we treat each other's citizens is extremely important,\" he said. \"If you imagine if an American citizen was told by a British official they couldn't board a plane, there would be complete uproar in the United States of America.\"",

            "input": "By Mary HaltonBBC News, science reporter UN figures indicate that 80% of people displaced by climate change are women. Roles as primary caregivers and providers of food and fuel make them more vulnerable when flooding and drought occur. The 2015 Paris Agreement has made specific provision for the empowerment of women, recognising that they are disproportionately impacted. In central Africa, where up to 90% of Lake Chad has disappeared, nomadic indigenous groups are particularly at risk. As the lake's shoreline recedes, women have to walk much further to collect water. \"In the dry season, men go to the towns... leaving women to look after the community,\" explains Hindou Oumarou Ibrahim, coordinator of the Association of Indigenous Women and People of Chad (AFPAT). With dry seasons now becoming longer, women are working harder to feed and care for their families without support. \"They become more vulnerable... it's very hard work,\" Ibrahim recently told the BBC's 100 Women initiative. A global problem It is not just women in rural areas who are affected. Globally, women are more likely to experience poverty, and to have less socioeconomic power than men. This makes it difficult to recover from disasters which affect infrastructure, jobs and housing. After Hurricane Katrina in 2005, African American women were among the worst affected by flooding in Louisiana. As sea levels rise, low-lying cities like New Orleans will be increasingly at risk. \"In New Orleans, there was much higher poverty among the African American population before Katrina,\" says Jacquelyn Litt, professor of women's and gender studies at Rutgers University. \"More than half the poor families in the city were headed by single mothers,\" she told BBC News. \"[They] are reliant on interdependent community networks for their everyday survival and resources. The displacement that happened after Katrina essentially eroded those networks. It places women and their children at much greater risk.\" In the immediate aftermath of extreme events, emergency shelters can be inadequately equipped to support women. The Superdome, in which evacuees were temporarily housed after Hurricane Katrina, didn't have enough sanitary products for the women accommodated there. Increased incidences of violence against women, including sexual assault and rape, have also been documented in the wake of disasters. 'Natural' disasters? Much as climate change is accelerated by human behaviours, the impact of weather and climate events is influenced by societal structures. Disasters do not affect all people equally. In the wake of the 2004 tsunami, an Oxfam report found that surviving men outnumbered women by almost 3:1 in Sri Lanka, Indonesia and India. While no one cause was clear, there were similar patterns across the region. Men were more likely to be able to swim, and women lost precious evacuation time trying to look after children and other relatives. Another study spanning 20 years noted that catastrophic events lowered women's life expectancy more than men; more women were being killed, or they were being killed younger. In countries where women had greater socioeconomic power, the difference reduced. Half the world In recognition of this vast disparity, governments and organisations working on climate change are gradually moving to include women's voices in policy and planning. The UN has highlighted the need for gender sensitive responses to the impacts of climate change, yet the average representation of women in national and global climate negotiating bodies is below 30%. The numbers don't improve at the local level. \"Women are often not involved in the decisions made about the responses to climate change, so the money ends up going to the men rather than the women,\" environmental scientist Diana Liverman told the BBC's Science in Action programme on the World Service this week. As an author for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), whose reports influence climate change policy, Liverman has been monitoring the numbers of women involved. Twenty-five percent of those nominated to participate in the next report are women. \"IPCC has been very receptive to this and is actually discussing how they can support women better,\" explains Liverman. \"Women are half the world. It's important they participate in all major decisions,\" \"Climate change is not a fight for power,\" points out Hindou Oumarou Ibrahim, \"it's a fight for survival.\"",

            "input": "The chancellor said the downgrade was because of slow global growth and the difficult process of reducing debt, which he said must continue. He was responding to an urgent Commons question from Labour, who say he is in \"complete denial\" about the situation. Sterling fell to a two-and-a-half year low against the dollar before rallying. The chancellor said there had not been \"excessive market volatility\" and the government would not deviate from its economic path. Mr Osborne said he accepted the downgrade - made by ratings agency Moody's on Friday - and the reasons for it. But he blamed the weak global outlook and the last Labour government's economic legacy and said the situation would be \"much worse\" if the coalition abandoned its efforts to reduce borrowing. 'Stark reminder' He told MPs the downgrade was a \"stark reminder\" about the level of debt that the coalition government had inherited from its Labour predecessor and ministers were not going to \"run away\" from the problem. He said the AAA credit rating, which he has repeatedly said since taking office was a key benchmark of the UK's economic credibility, was important but the economy was \"tested\" on a daily basis in the financial markets - including on Monday - and had \"not been found wanting\". Mr Osborne said it was \"patently ludicrous\" that the UK's debt problems could be solved \"overnight\" and he said the deficit was down by a quarter since the election and interest rates on borrowing for both the government and consumers remained low. \"That ultimately is the choice for Britain - either we can abandon our efforts to deal with our debt problems and make a difficult situation very much worse or we can redouble our efforts to overcome our debts and make sure this country can earn its way in the world,\" he said. 'Cover for cuts' But shadow chancellor Ed Balls said Mr Osborne had failed the \"first economic test\" he set himself as chancellor and was himself now \"downgraded\". Mr Balls accused his counterpart of using the ratings agency as \"cover for his accelerated tax rises and spending cuts\", which had proved to have failed. \"He used to say a downgrade would be a disaster, today he says this downgrade doesn't matter - but he is still warning a further downgrade really would be a disaster,\" he said. \"What we see today is that he is in complete denial and offering more of the same failing medicine even now Moody's agree sluggish growth is the main problem.\" Deficit challenges Mr Osborne, who will deliver his fourth Budget next month, faced calls to resign from a handful of Labour MPs during his Commons statement. However, Tory MPs rallied behind the chancellor and Andrew Tyrie, chair of the Treasury select committee, said the downgrade was of \"limited value\" given the ratings agencies \"dismal record\" of corporate and economic forecasting in the past. Moody's marked down the UK's credit rating from AAA to AA1 on Friday, the first time this had happened since 1978, blaming the state of the global economy and the impact of public and private sector retrenchment. The agency said \"sluggish\" economic growth over the next few years, likely to result in lower tax revenues and higher spending in some areas, would pose significant \"challenges\" to the speed with which the annual deficit and the size of UK's debts as a share of GDP could be reduced. The government has extended its timeframe for eliminating the structural deficit beyond the next election due in 2015 but Moody's believes the UK will ultimately meet its objective given the \"political will\" to do so and the \"fundamental underlying\" strengths of the economy. But Labour say current austerity measures will result in more than £200bn in extra borrowing and without a change in policy focused on targeted tax cuts and investment in infrastructure, growth will continue to stall and debts will rise. The UK is at risk of slipping back into recession for the third time in five years, with growing contracting in the final quarter of 2012. But ministers say there are some positive signs such as the falling unemployment rate and increases in export growth and business start-ups.",

I think the whole point of having a draft bill is we can have a look at that and do some work together to try to bring that down.\" Giving examples of things that Westminster would reserve responsibility for, he said he was \"surprised to see hovercrafts mentioned\". The final list of reserved matters would be \"considerably shorter than the one that's in this draft text\", he said. But he said the bill was \"a big step forward in terms of providing clarity\" about which matters were decided in Cardiff Bay and what stayed in Westminster.",

But it is understood there was a mix-up in Tuesday's vote. Conservative councillor Andrew Jarvie has secured a motion of amendment to have the decision reviewed. The councillor led an attempt at Tuesday's committee meeting to turn down Kirkwood Homes' application for its project at Viewhill, near Inverness. He voted to refuse permission. Mr Jarvie has been successful in getting the signatures he needs to his motion from fellow councillors. The matter will be put before a meeting of Highland Council's environment, development and infrastructure committee. In the meantime no construction work can go-ahead at the site. Kirkwood Homes is now seeking legal advice. A spokesman said: \"We are consulting a QC over the situation. \"There is plenty of precedent, including in the Scottish Parliament, for a vote result being unable to be challenged by someone who had inadvertently cast the winning vote against their own side. \"Given that we already have Scottish government consent for the development, the whole situation surrounding the design element has become a circus.\" 'Better reflected' The proposed housing site is about half a mile from the location of the battle, fought between Jacobite and government forces in April 1746, and is within the battlefield's conservation area. Campaigners have argued that the fighting took place in a much wider area than what is regarded as the battle's location. The original application for the 16 homes was submitted by another company, Inverness Properties. It was refused planning permission by Highland Council. Inverness Properties appealed and planning permission was granted by a Scottish government-appointed planning official in 2014. Aberdeenshire-based Kirkwood Homes took over the project and recently submitted plans to change the design and layout of the homes. In January, the south planning applications committee deferred making a decision and asked the developer to redesign the houses in a way that \"better reflected\" the development's Highlands setting, and the Culloden (Battlefield) Conservation Area. The revised plans were approved in the vote at Tuesday's meeting of the committee. Kirkwood Homes said: \"We made the changes which were sought, won the vote and now face a bizarre attempt to overturn it via an attempt to muddy the water of what actually happened. \"Highland Council has a clear duty to ensure our application is treated completely fairly and we trust this duty will be fully observed. We reserve the right to act if we feel this is not the case.\" The spokesman added: \"We have been impeccable in our behaviour in relation to this application and we strongly suspect an attempt to string out the process indefinitely in an inappropriate manner.\"",

Euthanasia is currently legal in the Netherlands for children older than 12, with mandatory consent from the patient and their parents. It is also legal for babies up to a year old with parental consent. But there is no provision for those aged between one and 12 who are terminally ill. The issue has proven extremely controversial and has triggered months of debate in the four-party ruling coalition government. There has also been strong opposition from conservative Christian parties. But, following the government's approval of the plans, Mr de Jonge said he would draft new regulations for the practice. He said a study by experts had noted a need for the rule change. \"The study shows that there is a need for active termination of life among doctors and parents of incurably ill children, who are suffering hopelessly and unbearably and will die within the foreseeable future,\" Mr de Jonge said in a letter to parliament. He added that the study showed around five and 10 children a year would be affected by the rule change. The current laws would not need to be changed, the health minister said, but doctors would be exempt from prosecution for carrying out an approved euthanasia on someone in this age range. As with children over the age of 12, parental consent would be needed under the proposed rule change. The patient must also be enduring \"unbearable and endless suffering\" and at least two doctors must agree to the procedure. The change is expected to be implemented in the next few months. Euthanasia and assisted suicide has been legal in the Netherlands since 2002, and neighbouring Belgium followed suit months later. The two countries were the first in the world to legalise the practice, albeit under very strict conditions, In 2014, Belgium became the first country to allow for voluntary child euthanasia if they are terminally ill and in great pain and if they have parental consent. The Netherlands introduced the same rule for children over the age of 12 shortly afterwards.",

King William III - the Dutch-born Protestant better known as William of Orange or King Billy - defeated the Catholic King James II in County Meath in July 1690. On 12 July, marching bands from Orange lodges all over Northern Ireland parade through villages, towns and cities. They then listen to speeches and prayers by senior Orangemen. The day's longest parade, in Belfast, stretches to six miles (9.5km) - nine districts took part, accompanied by about 60 bands. As part of it, a wreath-laying ceremony took place at the Cenotaph at Belfast City Hall. The County Antrim village of Ahoghill hosted one of the largest groups of Lambeg drummers on parade, with the village resounding to the drums' distinctive rattle. The County Armagh parade was the day's largest gathering of Orangemen, with about 5,000 on parade in Tandragee. The internationally-renowned mezzo-soprano Emma Brown performed at the religious service. The parade in the south Tyrone village of Augher had Orangemen getting in the mood for the forthcoming Open golf championship being played at Portrush on the north coast. The \"Orange Golf Open\" saw members competing in a \"nearest the pin\" competition. The weather in Northern Ireland on Friday was dry but at times cloudy, with a few showers mainly in the north. Brighter spells developed towards the southeast and parts of the east coast. Temperatures ranged from 15C or 16C on the north coast to 18C or 19C in more sheltered parts of the south. The Orange Order was formed near Loughgall in County Armagh in 1795, when its founding members pledged their loyalty to the royal family and swore to defend the Protestant faith. Senior Orangeman Edward Stevenson said the parades were a custom that had been handed down for over 200 years. \"Surely there is no other event on these islands that can bring such vast numbers of people onto the streets to enjoy our processions, either by taking part or simply to watch them go by,\" the grand master of the Grand Orange Lodge of Ireland said. While the Twelfth is the traditional pinnacle of the marching season, thousands of people have already enjoyed one of the annual pre-Twelfth highlights. The sun shone brightly at the parade at the seaside village of Rossnowlagh in County Donegal on Saturday. Orange Order members from both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland took part in the march, which is traditionally held a few days before the main Twelfth of July events. About 50 lodges from counties Cavan, Leitrim and Monaghan, as well as the host county of Donegal were on parade. The full list of this year's parades is as follows: You can watch BBC Northern Ireland coverage of the parades in Belfast and Coleraine on the BBC iPlayer, and there will be a highlights programme on BBC One Northern Ireland at 22:35.",

            "input": "Katya AdlerEurope editor@BBCkatyaadleron Twitter You can in fact argue this both ways. The \"Yes-they've-budged\" camp point to German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Emmanuel Macron now saying they will consider any new proposals from the UK on replacing the contentious Irish border backstop (if they are realistic and immediately operable). This is a marked change from the EU's official position when Boris Johnson became UK Prime Minister: that the Brexit Withdrawal Agreement (containing the backstop) was signed, sealed and carved in stone. The \"No-the-EU-hasn't-really-budged\" camp say EU leaders don't believe Boris Johnson has any realistic alternatives to the backstop up his sleeve, so they are trying to take the initiative in the blame game that would inevitably follow a no-deal Brexit by wanting to appear open. The aim being that Angela Merkel, for example, could turn to German businesses that would lose out in a no-deal scenario and say: \"Look, I tried my best. It's Boris Johnson who failed you.\" EU figures who've been involved in Brexit negotiations are also keen to point out that being open to alternatives to the Irish backstop is not a change of position for Brussels. It's written into the existing Withdrawal Agreement. And as for Angela Merkel's positive words to Boris Johnson about finding new solutions, the German media was quick to underline how often she has repeated over the last few years that she would work \"until the last minute to make a deal with the UK,\" as long as EU single market rules were respected. Her attitude - in public at least - is unchanged. Behind the scenes though, EU leaders have been readjusting their view of Boris Johnson somewhat. During this summer's Conservative party leadership contest to replace Theresa May as prime minister, I heard Boris Johnson described in private conversations in EU circles as \"a buffoon\" and \"a reckless populist willing to drive his country over the cliff-edge of a no-deal Brexit to satisfy his ambition to become prime minister\". I now notice a subtle tone change. In his one-to-one chats in Paris, Berlin and at the G7 with European Council President Donald Tusk, the prime minister has managed to persuade Brussels that: a) He is serious in his threat to pursue a no-deal Brexit if no agreement with the EU can be found; and b) He would actively prefer to get a deal through parliament if possible. But this change in perception does not alter facts on the ground. EU leaders still think a no-deal Brexit is the most likely option right now. Time is running out - unless the prime minister were to do a last-minute U-turn and request a new Brexit extension after all. EU politicians also speak of the numbers not adding up in parliament for Boris Johnson. A reason they give for not being willing to jump forward with a backstop compromise. \"There is little-to-no pressure from the rest of us in the EU on Dublin right now to find and accept a backstop compromise,\" one high-level EU diplomat told me. \"If we did introduce a time limit - or even if we got rid of the backstop altogether from the Withdrawal Agreement, as Boris Johnson says he wants us to do - what would be the point? The prime minister doesn't have the majority in parliament to guarantee the Brexit deal would then go through and we, the EU, would have sacrificed our principles, our reputation, exposed our single market on the island of Ireland and thrown member state Dublin under a bus voluntarily. We'd be worse off than if we just accept a no-deal Brexit is going to happen.\" Boris Johnson's majority of one in parliament means EU leaders understand his focus is now domestic: shoring up his premiership by winning a general election, rather than agreeing a compromise deal with the EU. Few in the EU are holding their breath that MPs will succeed in stopping a no-deal Brexit in the coming weeks - though if they did, Brussels would be delighted. I notice rather that a number of European politicians are placing any hopes they have on Boris Johnson to avoid no deal. They speak of the prime minister's ambition to remain in the job and to go down in the history books in a positive way. One European official remarked: \"Johnson can see a no-deal Brexit is bad for his country but we're afraid he's boxed himself in with all his threats and promises at home.\" EU leaders will now watch and wait for what early autumn brings in UK politics. The next scene in this Brexit drama will play out in Westminster, not Brussels.",

One of her tasks will be to look at the university's and Bristol's involvement in the transatlantic slave trade. She said she wanted that research project to be \"a landmark in the way Britain examines, acknowledges and teaches the history of enslavement\". Much of Bristol's prestige and wealth in the 17th Century came as a result of slave traders such as Edward Colston, whose legacy can still be seen on the city's streets, memorials and buildings. Professor Otele, who lives in Newport in Wales, became the UK's first black female history professor when she was awarded a professorship and a chair in history by Bath Spa University in October last year.

Provost and deputy vice-chancellor Judith Squires said the University of Bristol was \"proud to be appointing someone of Professor Otele's experience and standing\". \"As an institution founded in 1909, we are not a direct beneficiary of the slave trade, but we fully acknowledge that we financially benefited indirectly via philanthropic support from families who had made money from businesses involved in the transatlantic slave trade,\" Professor Squires said. \"This new role provides us with a unique and important opportunity to interrogate our history, working with staff, students and local communities to explore the university's historical links to slavery and to debate how we should best respond to our past in order to shape our future as an inclusive university community.\"",

The presidential vote on 17 December will be a vital test for embattled Prime Minister Antonis Samaras. His decision prompted the stock market in Athens to plummet 9.5% on Tuesday. Analysts said the markets had been spooked by the risk of snap elections, which will take place if the conservative-led government's nomination is not approved by parliament. President Karolos Papoulias's five-year term ends in March, and a vote had been expected in February. Mr Samaras's conservative-led coalition needs the support of other parties if its candidate is to obtain the backing of MPs. But the left-wing anti-bailout Syriza party is leading in the opinion polls and the government faces widespread public discontent after a six-year recession. Risky vote Hours after saying he would bring forward the presidential vote, Mr Samaras gave a televised address announcing that his coalition was nominating former European Commissioner Stavros Dimas as its candidate. \"When the current parliament elects a president at the end of the month the clouds will be gone and the country will be ready to officially enter the post-bailout era,\" the prime minister said, linking the vote in parliament to the end of the unpopular programme of support from the EU and IMF. Since 2010 Greece has received almost €240bn (£190bn; $295bn) in rescue funds, which are due to be replaced next year by a new eurozone credit line that can be accessed in an emergency. Syriza's leader Alexis Tsipras accused the government of rushing it through in a \"desperate attempt\" to hide new austerity measures. He has pledged to end austerity cuts and any co-operation with either EU or IMF lenders. Mr Samaras's government narrowly pushed through its 2015 budget in the early hours of Monday, securing 155 votes in the 300-seat parliament. But if it is to convince MPs to back its presidential candidate it will need far greater support from the chamber. Two hundred MPs are needed to back a candidate in the first or second vote, and 180 for the third vote. The second and third rounds of the vote are scheduled for 23 and 29 December. Mr Samaras will have to secure the backing of 25 opposition lawmakers to reach 180 votes. Monday's move to extend the bailout and advance the date of the presidential vote came a day after violent protests in Athens, with more than 300 demonstrators arrested. The demonstration was held to mark six years since police shot dead an unarmed teenager during protests fuelled by anger over the country's economic crisis. \"The coming period is essential to find an agreement [with the eurozone] to settle issues like the debt, and Greece has to have the full capacity to mobilise its forces in a climate of national unity and political stability,\" the government said in its statement. Some investors are worried about a return to the days of financial crisis as the presidential vote looms.",

Witnesses said they saw him and co-accused PC Mary-Ellen Bettley Smith run away from Mr Atkinson \"as fast as they could\" on the night of 15 August. Both officers from West Mercia Police deny any wrongdoing. On the fifth day of their trial at Birmingham Crown Court, jurors heard from David Lewis, a resident of Meadow Close, Telford, where Mr Atkinson had arrived to visit his father at about 01:30 BST. He described the former Villa striker's mood as \"very unstable\" before PCs Monk and Bettley-Smith arrived, and recalled him kicking at his father's door. When the officers appeared, Mr Atkinson \"started to walk towards them,\" Mr Lewis said. \"When they got to the end of the driveway, they ran down the road as if they were frightened of something. \"Dalian suddenly started to almost run - he suddenly changed his pace of walking.\" Although Mr Lewis did not see PC Monk discharge his Taser, he saw Mr Atkinson fall and a female officer raising a baton above her head and bringing it down twice. The court previously heard how data from PC Monk's Taser revealed how after two failed discharges, it had been deployed for more than 30 seconds - six times longer than is standard. Imprints of the officer's bootlaces were also found on Mr Atkinson's head from where he had been kicked. Mr Atkinson died at about 02:45 that morning. The court heard previously that the sportsman had a number of underlying health conditions but pathologists agreed he would have survived \"were it not for the third Taser deployment and the kicks to his head\". Jurors were also read a written statement from Mr Lewis' late wife, Janet. She recounted in her testimony seeing PC Monk appear to kick Mr Atkinson in a way \"similar to a footballer kicking a football with substantial force\". Her statement also said how \"even with my window closed I could hear the strikes administered with her [PC Bettley-Smith's] baton impacting on Dalian's body and clothing\". One of the first two police officers to arrive after Mr Atkinson was tasered told the court he heard PC Monk tell paramedics the ex-footballer \"may be a bit bloody as I had to kick him\". Defence QC Patrick Gibbs asked Pc Mark Bedford, who no longer works for the force, if the comment by PC Monk about the former striker being kicked to the head would have been useful information for paramedics to know. He answered: \"I would presume so. They would need to know the injuries he had got.\" PC Monk, 42, denies murder and manslaughter. PC Bettley-Smith, 31, denies assault occasioning actual bodily harm.

It clearly wowed the judges. \"Close up magic like that is obviously very difficult to do, in these days of HD TV people are obviously taking a very close look at it. Obviously you can't really make notes appear inside lemons, how do you feel about the people on Twitter exposing how the trick is done?\" \"It's great,\" said Jamie. \"With magic, I'm just trying to provoke people to think.\" Several Twitter users spotted a hole in the lemon Some users also spotted Jamie putting the note in the lemon \"Singers have music, dancers have their actions, I have a vehicle to entertain that will inspire people to think about it. \"Now some people are happy to watch it and enjoy it and that's great. Some people want to work it out. That's great. \"It is a live art - it's best performed live. You can't trick a camera. But what I'm hoping people enjoy is the live experience which is what the judges got and you saw how they reacted. \"If people want to go away and work it all out, that's fantastic for me because it just shows they're interested, and hopefully they'll buy a ticket to the show. \"I've got a live tour… In a couple of weeks I'm hoping to announce something. I'm really excited and they're all more than welcome to come - with their cameras - to try and work it all out.\" \"And how do you feel about winner Matisse the dog's own slight of paw? It was actually another dog that was doing the tightrope walk in their final act, and not Matisse.\" \"To be honest I didn't realise, I thought it was the same dog,\" Jamie said. \"But anyway it was brilliant, I mean a dog walking on a tightrope is just… Obviously I don't know anything about animals but if there's more than one I'm presuming it's because of the noise and everything. \"I know with Matisse they had to stop the pyrotechnics at the end because he doesn't like really loud noises. But it was fantastic. \"Any dog who can do a handstand is worth a quarter of a million pounds in my mind.\" Follow @BBCNewsbeat on Twitter, BBCNewsbeat on Instagram and Radio1Newsbeat on YouTube and you can now follow BBC_Newsbeat on Snapchat",

On Tuesday, it emerged London Mayor Boris Johnson authorised the Metropolitan Police to buy three cannon for £218,000. The water cannon will not be deployed until the home secretary authorises their use in England and Wales. A Number 10 spokesman said the prime minister supported the decision in principle. Stand in front Number 10 said there was still \"a process of licensing and regulation to be completed and a final decision will be taken by the home secretary\". Speaking at Mayor's Question Time at city Hall, Mr Johnson said: \"My view is we need to get on and equip the police with the water cannon they need, or might need.\" Talking on LBC radio earlier, he said: \"I'm entirely prepared to do anything to show that they're safe within reason. \"I'm not quite sure whether I want to stand in front of a water cannon....[but] if it will really make you happy I will investigate the whys and wherefores whether I can stand in front of a water cannon. \"I suppose I'm going to have to do it now.\" In a statement, the mayor's office said purchasing the cannon now for just over £218,000, before Theresa May approves them, meant they could be bought at a \"considerably reduced rate\". The cannon will be purchased for £30,000 each plus an additional £127,000 for them to be made \"fit for purpose\" for use in London, as opposed to the cost of a single new one at £870,000.

The original graffiti appeared near Aberystwyth, after the village of Capel Celyn in Gwynedd was flooded in 1965. Elfed Wyn Jones, who helped carry out the re-painting, said: \"We had to do something - it is a staple of Welsh history.\" The 21-year-old, from Aberystwyth, said it was \"heartbreaking\" to see the vandalism on the wall. \"We decided we needed to set an example by doing it quickly. It is a memorial to a tragedy in Welsh history,\" he added. Mr Wyn Jones and his four friends began painting at 21:00 GMT on Sunday and slept in their cars until the paint dried at 04:00 the next day. They returned to the wall on Monday to daub the original \"Cofiwch Dryweryn\" slogan back on. Plaid Cymru Welsh AM Bethan Sayed said the re-painting \"shows how people have that energy to go and make change again\". She told BBC Radio Wales' Good Morning Wales programme: \"I think it is important that we do respect it. \"It is integral to our history as a Welsh people.\" Mrs Sayed had called for the Welsh Government to protect the site, like the Banksy mural in Port Talbot. \"Perhaps we could make a site of historical importance out of the 'Cofiwch Dryweryn' art,\" she said. A Welsh Government spokesperson said it \"would be willing to engage in talks with the Llanrhystud Community Council and interested parties on better interpretation and protection of the site\". \"The 'Cofiwch Dryweryn' memorial is not a listed structure, although Cadw is always prepared to reconsider a request for listing if there is new evidence,\" it added. \"Previous discussions about its future have questioned whether listing would be the best way of providing the protection it needs; however, we would like to explore options for the future.\" Liz Saville Roberts, Plaid Cymru MP for Dwyfor Meirionnydd, said the wall was a \"symbolic and poignant reminder\" of why Welsh culture and communities \"cannot be allowed to be so drastically undervalued ever again\". \"This act of mindless vandalism is deplorable and shows complete disregard and ignorance of the significant development in Wales' national consciousness following the flooding of Capel Celyn.\" The original graffiti came about as a response to Capel Celyn being flooded to give Liverpool water, which sparked protests and was widely seen as igniting the Welsh nationalist and language movement. The wall on the main road from Aberystwyth to Llanrhystud has been defaced several times in the past. In 2005, Liverpool City Council issued an apology over Tryweryn for \"any insensitivity shown\" by the previous council's endorsement of the proposal to flood the valley.",

            "input": "By Chris MorrisReality Check Correspondent \"I recognise there are concerns about the implications around the Northern Ireland protocol,\" Northern Ireland Secretary Brandon Lewis told MPs on 13 April. The protocol, part of the December 2019 deal that took the UK out of the EU, keeps Northern Ireland following many of the rules of the EU single market. That fact is what creates the checks on goods moving from Great Britain into Northern Ireland, and other border bureaucracy, which many loyalists bitterly oppose. But what was said about Northern Ireland in the run-up to the 2016 EU referendum, and how many of these issues were predicted at the time? Referendum campaign The main campaign literature published by the Leave and Remain campaigns on a UK-wide basis in 2016 didn't mention Northern Ireland at all. Leading figures on both sides made campaign visits to Northern Ireland, but its future status wasn't a big part of the national conversation. It was only after the vote took place that more attention was paid to the fact that the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland was about to become the border between the UK and the EU. Even in campaign leaflets aimed specifically at Northern Ireland, which did at least mention the border issue, Leave focused first on immigration and ending free movement, while Remain emphasised protecting jobs. Sinn Fein did use the slogan \"Brexit means borders\", and on a visit to Northern Ireland in June 2016, the then Chancellor George Osborne said there would have to be a hardening of the border, if the UK was outside the EU. It raised the prospect of checks and even checkpoints returning to the border with the Republic, which the Northern Ireland peace process had removed. That didn't happen because divorce negotiations between the UK and the EU agreed early on that avoiding a hard land border should be an absolute priority. \"For all the talk of 'taking back control' of borders,\" says Prof Katy Hayward of Queen's University, Belfast, \"the overwhelming sentiment across the spectrum in Northern Ireland during the 2016 referendum was that there should not be any change to its borders.\" What about a border in the Irish Sea? Everyone assumed the only border up for discussion was the land border with the Republic. There was virtually no mention of what has emerged instead - border checks and bureaucracy between Great Britain and Northern Ireland - the so-called Irish Sea border. The prospect of this happening was briefly discussed during a visit to Londonderry on 9 June by two former prime ministers - Sir John Major and Tony Blair. Both were strong supporters of Remain. Mr Blair argued a vote to leave would mean the only alternative to controls on the land border \"would have to be checks between Northern Ireland and the rest of the UK, which would be plainly unacceptable as well\". Sir John warned it would be \"an historic mistake\" to do anything that risked destabilising the Good Friday Agreement, which brought the troubles in Northern Ireland to an end. In response, the Northern Ireland First Minister Arlene Foster spoke of \"deeply offensive\" scare stories from the Remain campaign, and the then Northern Ireland Secretary, Theresa Villiers, also a prominent leave supporter, said any suggestion that Brexit could have a negative impact on the peace process was \"deeply irresponsible\". At the time, it was not clear what form of Brexit might emerge after a leave vote. Many people on both sides thought the UK could choose to remain in the EU single market (like Norway) while leaving the EU's political structures. But the government pursued a different path. And with Britain outside the single market and the customs union, some border bureaucracy had to be introduced between GB and NI instead. Referendum claims Voters were never really told that this could happen, nor were they given a particularly accurate picture in referendum leaflets about how trade and borders operate. The Remain campaign said \"a vote to leave would result in tariffs being imposed\", which would \"push prices up\". But under the new EU-UK free trade deal there are currently no tariffs (taxes on imports) on goods that originate in either the EU or the UK. The Leave campaign said customs wouldn't be a problem, because \"the EU already allows its members customs-free access to non-EU countries.\" That is only true for countries that are in the EU customs union. For Britain, it is incorrect. Common Travel Area Leading Remain supporters also warned of a threat to the Common Travel Area (CTA) between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. \"The leave people say it will just stay,\" Mr Blair said. \"But when you go into the detail you realise how difficult if not impossible that is.\" A few days before the referendum, David Cameron also briefly raised the prospect that preserving the CTA, with Britain outside the EU, could lead to \"some sort of checks\" on people travelling from Northern Ireland to the rest of the UK. These warnings were incorrect. The CTA, which was founded before both the UK and the Republic of Ireland joined the EU, survived Brexit unscathed. Its importance had been emphasised earlier in 2016 by Boris Johnson, shortly after he declared allegiance to the Leave campaign. \"There's been a free travel area between the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland for, I think, getting on for 100 years,\" he said. \"There's no reason at all why that should cease to be the case.\" The CTA was protected because of the joint determination to avoid a hard land border. But as prime minister, it was Boris Johnson who signed up instead to the deal creating new border bureaucracy for trade between GB and NI. And many loyalists now feel that pushes them further apart from the rest of the UK. This piece was first published on 19 April and updated to add David Cameron's comment about the Common Travel Area.

And others could be used to betray the exact location of military forces in crisis zones, the researcher said. IOActive, which found the bugs, said it was working with manufacturers to harden devices against attack. Backdoor access \"The consequences of these vulnerabilities are shocking,\" said Ruben Santamarta, from IOActive, in a statement explaining some of his findings. Details of the vulnerabilities will be presented later on Thursday at the Black Hat security conference in Las Vegas. The broadest group of devices vulnerable to attack were in use on commercial aircraft, Mr Santamarta told technology news site eWeek. Some of the vulnerabilities affecting aircraft required an attacker to be on that flight, he said, but he had also found \"hundreds\" of vulnerable devices that could be accessed remotely via the internet. None of the loopholes gave an attacker access to the avionics systems used to control flight, however. Other problems had been found with satellite ground stations on ships and in US military bases, Mr Santamarta said. On ship systems, attackers could potentially gain control over satellite receivers to aid eavesdropping or damage the antenna by pumping up its power output, he said. Mr Santamarta had won access to the satellite communication systems via backdoors in their controlling code, he said. The backdoors had not been inserted maliciously but had probably been added during software development. Although, in some cases the devices being used could not be updated with secure software. Instead, the entire device would have to be swapped for a more modern version running less hackable code. IOActive says it delayed publishing details of its findings while manufacturers act to negate the bugs. And the latest research builds on work done by Mr Santamarta in 2014 which first unearthed potential problems with the satellite communication systems and devices.",

It also uncovered online forums where Amazon shoppers are offered full refunds in exchange for product reviews. Both companies said they do not tolerate false reviews. 'Trying to game the system' The popularity of online review sites mean they are increasingly relied on by both businesses and their customers, with the government's Competition and Markets Authority estimating such reviews potentially influence £23 billion of UK customer spending every year. Maria Menelaou, whose Yorkshire Fisheries chip shop is the top-ranked fish and chip shop in Blackpool on several review sites, said the system has replaced traditional advertising. \"It brings us a lot of customers ... It really does make a difference. We don't do any kind of advertising,\" Mrs Menelaou said. While three quarters of UK adults use online review websites, almost half of those believe they have seen fake reviews, according to a survey of 1500 UK residents conducted by the Chartered Institute of Marketing and shared with BBC 5 live Investigates. Some US analysts estimate as many as half of the reviews for certain products posted on international websites such as Amazon are potentially unreliable. \"Sellers are trying to game the system and there's a lot of money on the table,\" said Tommy Noonan, who runs ReviewMeta, a US-based website that analyses online reviews. \"If you can rank number one for, say, bluetooth headsets and you're selling a cheap product, you can make a lot of money,\" he said. '5 star is better for us' In 2016, Amazon introduced a range of measures prohibiting what it called \"incentivised reviews\", where businesses offered customers free goods in exchange for positive reviews. Mr Noonan said this effectively drove the problem underground, leading to the emergence of Facebook groups where potential Amazon customers were encouraged to buy a product and post a review in return for a full refund. BBC 5 live Investigates identified several of these groups and, within minutes of joining, was approached with offers of full refunds on products bought on Amazon in exchange for positive reviews. \"5 star is better for us\" said one person making such an offer, in an exchange of messages with the BBC. \"We value our brand, will refund you as we promised ... All my company do in this way.\" It was not possible to identify the people making these offers, nor contact the businesses whose products they were seeking reviews for. \"We do not permit reviews in exchange for compensation of any kind, including payment. Customers and Marketplace sellers must follow our review guidelines and those that don't will be subject to action including potential termination of their account,\" Amazon said in a statement. Responding to adverts posted on eBay, the BBC was also able to purchase a false 5-star review on Trustpilot, an online review website that describes itself as \"committed to being the most trusted online review community on the market\". \"Dan Box is one of the most respected professionals I have dealt with. It was a pleasure doing business with him,\" this review said - word for word as requested by 5 live Investigates. Trustpilot, whose platform allows anyone to post a review, said they have \"a zero-tolerance policy towards any misuse\". \"We have specialist software that screens reviews against 100's of data points around the clock to automatically identify and remove fakes,\" the company said. In a statement, eBay said the sale of such reviews is banned from its platform \"and any listings will be removed\". 5 live Investigates is on BBC Radio 5 live, 29 April at 11:00 GMT - catch up on BBC iPlayer Radio.

The RAF said the F-35s had not carried out any attacks and that the operations had gone \"exceptionally well\". Defence Secretary Penny Mordaunt called it \"a really historic moment\". Britain currently has 17 F-35Bs and has pledged to purchase 138 in total from US aviation giant Lockheed Martin. The aircraft - which cost almost £100m - can land vertically, similar to the Harrier Jump Jet, and combine radar-evading stealth technology with supersonic speeds. Six of the jets have been deployed at RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus since May for training exercises, in an operation known as Exercise Lightning Dawn. As part of their training, the jets carried out 95 missions and flew in pairs for 225 hours, the MoD said. They have now joined the hunt for militants under Operation Shader, the UK's contribution in the ongoing military action against IS.

Why F-35 jets' real test is still to come By BBC defence correspondent Jonathan Beale The first of Britain's most advanced and expensive fighter jets have now carried out more than a dozen missions over Iraq and Syria. With IS having lost its territory and on the run there are now few obvious targets. The F-35s have not yet conducted any airstrikes. Instead they've been using their sophisticated sensors to gather intelligence. The RAF describes the F-35 as the best \"eyes and ears\" on the battlefield, even though the jet is still suffering from a host of technical problems. But its other great asset is that it is hard to see. Britain's first \"stealth\" jet can, in theory, avoid detection by enemy radar. The real test in combat will not be against the remnants of IS, but a well armed opponent with advanced air defences.",

Spar branded products on the shelves. Sainsbury's has not taken over the convenience retailer or vice versa. Instead what you are seeing is a contingency plan for the new Irish Sea border. On 31 December, England, Scotland and Wales left the EU's single market for goods but NI did not. This created a new trade and regulatory border between NI and the rest of the UK. It means that food products entering NI from GB must undergo a range of time consuming new processes such as the creation of export health certificates and checks at new border posts. Some of these changes are being phased in, but other are already required. In response, supermarkets have been looking at ways to source more products in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. For Sainsbury's that has meant signing a contract with Henderson Group, one of Northern Ireland's biggest food wholesalers which sells to retailers and caterers. But the retailers they supply are almost exclusively a network of 450 Spar and Vivo stores across NI. That is why some of the products they are providing to Sainsbury's have Spar branding. It's understood about 70 Spar-branded products are on the shelves or available on Sainsbury's website. A Sainsbury's spokesperson said: \"A small number of our products are temporarily unavailable for our customers in Northern Ireland while border arrangements are confirmed. 'We were prepared for this and so our customers will find a wide range of alternative products in our stores in the meantime and we are working hard to get back to our full, usual range soon.\" A UK government spokesperson said: \"The grace periods for supermarkets and their suppliers are working well, lorries are travelling through Northern Irish ports and we continue to work closely with traders as they adapt to these changes.\"",

However, in a surprise move, the former chancellor quit his post, saying \"no self-respecting minister\" could accept the condition of getting rid of his staff. In a letter to the PM, Mr Javid urged Mr Johnson to \"ensure the Treasury as an institution retains as much credibility as possible\". He has now been replaced by the former Chief Secretary to the Treasury, Rishi Sunak. The decision to amalgamate treasury advisers into a Downing Street unit has led to significant concern among some who believe it will limit the ability of the chancellor to resist demands from the prime minister. Now the SNP are calling on the Liaison Committee to look into the change, saying it amounts to a fundamental re-ordering of how the government operates and functions. Committees do have the power to summon witnesses - although it would be highly unusual for the prime minister's key adviser to appear so publicly, and the committee has not met since the election. Frankly, it's unlikely Dominic Cummings will appear. But the call for him to do so is illustrative of the fact many at Westminster are concerned about the influence of Mr Johnson's advisers, and the changes they are involved in overseeing. In his letter, Mr Blackford said: \"It is crucial that key appointed officials, responsible to the prime minister, are compelled to give evidence on these changes - in full, in detail and in public. \"I hope parliament's Liaison Committee is favourable to facilitating this as a matter of public interest and transparency.\" The BBC has contacted Downing Street for comment.",

            "input": "Aaron Bell said the \"tell-tale rotten egg\" odour emanating from a site in his Staffordshire constituency was widely regarded as a blight on the local area. He used a Westminster debate to press for tougher enforcement rules and limits on where sites could be built. Minister Rebecca Pow expressed sympathy with his concerns but said planning decisions were a matter for councils. She insisted the government had ambitious targets to reduce the amount of non-recyclable waste being sent to landfill. During a debate in Westminster Hall, Parliament's secondary debating chamber, Mr Bell and other Conservative MPs called for the personal experience of local residents to be given greater weight in deciding whether odour levels were acceptable. Mr Bell, who represents Newcastle-under-Lyme, said the current regulations were \"not fit for purpose\" and it was not enough for operators of landfill sites to simply meet minimum health standards as set down by the World Health Organisation. Citing the case of Walleys Quarry landfill in his constituency, he said many of his constituents felt \"powerless\" after levels of methane gas and hydrogen sulfide emitted were deemed to fall well within legally permissible limits following a review by environmental regulators last year. 'Causing offence' He claimed unpleasant odours from the Silverdale plant had been a long-standing issue for local residents, with many reluctant to open their windows or use their gardens while the smells were also affecting businesses and night life in Newcastle-under-Lyme. He said the Environment Agency needed greater powers to deal with \"minor and frequent breaches\" which did not cause \"demonstrably adverse\" effects on people's health but which were clearly a nuisance to people's lives. \"An operator can be compliant with their permit and their planning permission but it does not mean they are not causing offence to their neighbours,\" he said. \"Local communities have few options for remedy against a waste operator where the operator is acting in compliance with its permit. Local communities are the ones who know best how their lives are affected.\" While he conceded councils did have the power to issue nuisance abatement notices, he said this process took too long and often did not take into account factors such as changing weather patterns which meant occurrences were \"only apparent for a short period of time\". He added: \"Odours are not something that can be measured objectively so quantifying and characterising odours can be very challenging because each person's sensitivity to odours can vary.\" 'Waste hierarchy' Mr Bell said people living in close proximity to landfill sites were experiencing similar problems \"across the country\". He called for tighter planning rules to ensure that landfill sites could not, in future, be built \"within a certain distance\" of any residential housing. Former Cabinet minister Maria Miller said there was also a problem in her Basingstoke constituency with emissions from biodigester waste plants, which break down material anaerobically. \"The issue here is the threshold at which the Environment Agency can act,\" she said, insisting statutory health and environmental standards should not be the only consideration. \"Why on earth are residents' needs not taken into account?\" In response, Ms Pow said landfill sites could never be odour-free but levels should \"not be causing offence\". In the case of Walleys Quarry, she said its operator Red Industries had complied with the terms of the site's permit since 2005 while the site had passed a series of \"continuous\" air quality monitoring tests carried out by the watchdog in the past three years. She said the tests found the presence of hydrogen sulfide \"above which complaints would be expected\" for just 1% of the monitoring period and at a level which Public Health England believed would not expect to cause any long-term health consequences. More generally, she said legislation due to be debated by MPs for the first time on Wednesday would minimise the amount of waste that \"reaches the lower levels of the waste hierarchy\", including landfill. The aim, she added, was for 65% of municipal waste to be recycled by 2033, with no more than 10% going to landfill. Red Industries, which bought Walleys Quarry Landfill in 2016, has insisted that it complies with all legal and government regulations, operates tight controls and procedures on the site and strives to minimise its impact on the environment.",

The institution's involvement in the project led by Highlands and Islands Enterprise (HIE) was seen as a key part of it being a success. But a body representing Inverness businesses said the move would harm city centre traders. Garek Begg, of Inverness BID, said valuable income would be lost as hundreds of college staff and thousands of students relocated to an out-of-town site. Redeveloping Inverness College's current base on Longman Road in Inverness was also under consideration. The board's concerns over relocation had centred on what transport links and facilities would be available. Money to pay for the new building will be sought from the Scottish Funding Council and European Regional Development Fund. The college board's chairwoman Mo Shepherd said there had been potential in both options that management had looked at. She said: \"Following a lengthy and necessary deliberation process, it is with a great degree of pride and excitement we're now able to announce the planned location of our new 21st century campus. \"Both potential sites were viable for our plans, however, on balance, it was decided Beechwood offers us an opportunity to realise our vision for a new, modern, tertiary education facility which will be the pride of Inverness and the wider Highland region. \"It should be stressed however, that this decision is only the start of a far wider process.\" The first phase of the education and research campus was given conditional approval by Highland councillors last month. HIE proposes to spend £25m on developing the site which would also provide a base for the prospective University of the Highlands and Islands. The enterprise agency was criticised last year for its planned spending on the campus. HIE claimed the project would create jobs, retain talent and generate millions of pounds for the Highlands economy. But Western Isles council - Comhairle nan Eilean Siar - said HIE should be investing in fragile areas of the region and not \"booming\" Inverness. Inverness College's involvement in the project was also a source of debate. In March this year, seven politicians signed a letter that said Beechwood was the best place for it. UHI principal James Fraser said he was delighted by the college's decision. He said: \"This new campus will meet the needs of both current and future UHI students, including increasing numbers from the rest of the UK and worldwide, which will certainly bring economic benefit throughout the city.\" But Mr Begg said the new campus would be damaging for Inverness city centre and created \"traffic chaos\". He said: \"It certainly isn't going to be a good idea for Inverness. \"We have been striving hard in Inverness BID to try and get regeneration into the city centre and clearly this is another opportunity being created out of town.\"",

Qatar's government said on Friday that \"standard procedures were violated\". It also offered its \"sincerest apology\" for what the women went through. Australian Foreign Minister Marise Payne called the referrals for prosecution an \"important step\". \"The statement of the government of Qatar is consistent with our expectations for contrition, accountability and determination to avoid any repeat of this disturbing episode,\" she said. The incident came to light earlier this week after some of the Australian passengers spoke out and foreign governments said they were appalled. The women said they were ordered to disembark the Sydney-bound Qatar Airways flight at Hamad International Airport. They were then taken to ambulances on the tarmac and told to remove their underwear before being examined. The women said they were given no information by officials and that they did not have an opportunity to provide informed consent. Female passengers on nine other flights were also reportedly examined. Qatar's Government Communication Office (GCO) said on Wednesday that airport authorities took action after a newborn baby girl was \"found in a trash can, concealed in a plastic bag and buried under garbage\", in an apparent attempt to kill her. \"This egregious and life-threatening violation of the law triggered an immediate search for the parents, including on flights in the vicinity of where the newborn was found.\" On Friday, the GCO said a preliminary investigation into the actions of airport authorities \"revealed that standard procedures were violated\". \"Those responsible for these violations and illegal actions have been referred to the Public Prosecution Office,\" it added. \"Following the directives of His Excellency Sheikh Khalid bin Khalifa bin Abdul Aziz Al Thani, the prime minister and minister of interior, specialised task forces are reviewing and identifying any potential gaps in the procedures and protocols followed at Hamad International Airport, in order to address them and ensure that any violations are avoided in the future.\" Sheikh Khaled also expressed the government's \"sincerest apology for what some female travellers went through as a result of the measures\". Those affected include 13 Australians, two Britons and one woman from New Zealand. Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison described the incident as \"appalling\" and \"unacceptable\". \"As a father of a daughter, I could only shudder at the thought that anyone would, Australian or otherwise, would be subjected to that,\" he said.

Mr Johnson said: \"By 2012 we'll be able to invite the entire world to join London's cycling revolution\". The Green Party's London Assembly member said the plan \"lacked ambition\". More than 100,000 people have signed up to the scheme and more than 1.5 million journeys have been made across central London since its launch in July. Further details about the expansion will be announced later. The scheme is currently only available to those who have registered while plans to roll out the scheme to casual users has been postponed until the end of the year. About 2,700 docking points will be created in east London and another 1,500 will be added across central London by 2012, Transport for London said. The scheme currently operates in Camden, City of London, Hackney, Islington, Lambeth, Kensington and Chelsea, Southwark, Tower Hamlets, Westminster and several of the Royal Parks. 'Immensely popular' The search for locations for the new docking stations is under way and the first points may go up within a year if planning applications are approved, a spokesman for the mayor said.

She said: \"By 2012, the London scheme will still have far fewer bikes and docking stations than Paris, and it's obvious that the expansion of this scheme lacks ambition.\" \"If the mayor is serious about his target of having a million extra journeys made by bike every day, then a bike hire scheme which only generates an extra 40,000 journeys a day is well short of what London needs.\"",

            "input": "By Brandy YanchykBBC News, Twillingate, Canada Many in the community off the north-eastern shore of Canada's Newfoundland and Labrador province make their living from the icebergs. \"We all love to see when the icebergs are here,\" says Capt Perry Young. The iceberg tourism works its way into \"every aspect of business in Twillingate\", from accommodation to restaurants to convenience stores, he says. And when the icebergs fail to drift into the region, which happened as recently as two years ago, it places a lot of pressure on the town. \"It puts a strain on us financially because, I mean, it's pretty much 50% of our income,\" Mr Young says. \"And when you lose 50% of your income it hurts,\" he adds. Peak iceberg season is May and June, though this year was a relatively good one, and the mammoth frozen blocks were still floating by as late as August. 'Iceberg alley' Twillingate's traditional saltbox houses, fishing boats and docks make it look like something from a postcard. About 2,500 people live in Twillingate but when an iceberg rolls in, those numbers rise dramatically. \"We are actually right beneath the iceberg alley, which is the Labrador Current,\" says Kim Young, who operates tourist boat tours in the town. \"So when the current comes out through the alley they bring them to us,\" Ms Young adds. Drawing in tourists is important business in Twillingate. Like many fishing villages in Newfoundland and Labrador, residents of Twillingate suffered when they lost their cod-fishing industry, which was shut down by the Canadian government in 2003 because of declining stock. The residents have had to find another way to make a living, and attracting tourists with icebergs was the answer. Tracking icebergs Now the local tourism board has launched a new pilot programme using GPS tracking devices that allow locals to track icebergs when they are spotted. There are also three different websites dedicated to showing where icebergs are in the area. A small group of local fishermen have also started harvesting iceberg water to make iceberg vodka, beer and wine for sale in the province. \"The thing about Newfoundland is that we have to adapt and change with the times, and this is the reason we have been able to survive on this rock for 500 years,\" says local fisherman David Boyd, the owner of the Prime Berth store, which caters to tourists. \"Human beings have the ability to basically destroy everything that they touch, and we have done that with the fishery, with technology and with very poor management,\" he adds. \"So we have to adapt and now we are basically capitalising on something that at one time we didn't want to see,\" Mr Boyd says. For centuries icebergs were not a welcome sight for residents of Twillingate and local fishermen. Their attraction is a recent phenomenon. Invading giants \"The icebergs were the scourge of the fishery,\" says Mr Boyd. \"The fishermen hated to see the icebergs because the big bergs would come in on their nets and their cod traps.\" These \"invading giants\", as locals describe them, come with their own myths and are making their way into local folklore, art and writing. Visitors can hear stories of murder on an iceberg or the deaths of young local children who have played around them. \"There are all sorts of stories around the province of narrow escapes from them because they are unpredictable,\" says Twillingate artist Gilbert Manuel. \"Around here and everywhere in Newfoundland, we have a healthy respect for them. We don't go near them - unless you know what you're doing - because they can tip over or founder, break apart, without any warning.\" WW2 plane It isn't just the icebergs themselves that are full of mystery: sometimes it's the visitors that they bring along with them to shore. One time it was a polar bear, which is extremely rare for the area. The animal's body is now on display in the town's local museum. Sometimes the icebergs bring treasures from the past. An aircraft, embedded into an iceberg, also once came drifting into the region, Mr Manuel says. \"Somebody researched it and this was a plane that had crashed I think years ago during the Second World War in Greenland,\" he says. This dependence on icebergs can become a burden when they don't drift in. \"I've seen it, a lot of hurtful faces, and I try to explain to them basically, that we are an iceberg viewing area,\" says Cecil Stockley, a founder of the tourism industry, who is known locally as the Iceberg Man. The unpredictable nature of icebergs have added to their allure and have started debates in the town. Some residents believe climate change is the reason the cold goliaths aren't making it into the area as often. Others think that this is just part of a natural cycle. \"I believe it is the El Nino effect of warmer water moving north, icebergs are meeting these waters more farther north and melting,\" says Mr Stockley. \"Even on our best of years, it's hard to get a small percentage of icebergs down here. Even we might get a couple hundred, probably, there is 2,000 in Greenland,\" adds Mr Stockley. But Mr Manuel disagrees: \"There's fewer of them right now, but it was always like that. You had years when there were icebergs everywhere. Then for whatever reason you have years when there are no icebergs.\" The residents of Twillingate will no doubt adapt no matter what happens.",

Mr Cohen also said the BBC needed to get more older women on screen. \"We're getting better,\" he told the Observer, citing the example of historian Mary Beard. \"But we need to get better.\" In the past, comedy panel shows like QI, Mock the Week and Have I Got News For You have been criticised for their male-dominated line-ups.

He was attacked after telling 45-year-old Sharmel Teague's daughter she could not come into the shop without a state-mandated mask. The mother's husband, Larry Teague, 44, and son, Ramonyea Bishop, 23, are accused of going to the store shortly afterwards and fatally attacking Mr Munerlyn. Sharmel Teague has been arrested, but the two other suspects remain at large. All three face first-degree premeditated murder and firearms charges. Larry Teague is also charged with violating the governor's order requiring face coverings inside stores in order to prevent coronavirus transmission. Her daughter has not been charged. After the initial verbal altercation at the store, Genesee County Prosecutor David Leyton told a news conference on Monday, Sharmel Teague shouted at and spat on Mr Munerlyn before driving away in a red GMC Envoy. She returned a short while later with her son and husband before the fatal confrontation ensued, according to officials. It was the son who allegedly pulled the trigger. The prosecutor told reporters: \"The death of Calvin Munerlyn is senseless and tragic, and those responsible will be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law.\" Mr Munerlyn's mother, Bernadett, told the Associated Press news agency: \"All my baby was doing was his job.\" A GoFundMe page set up for Mr Munerlyn's funeral has raised nearly $100,000 (£80,000).

It said that if proven, this could mean that consumers had been denied the chance to buy less polluting cars. The firms were raided in 2017 as part of the Commission's earlier inquiries. The Commission said its in-depth investigation was intended to assess whether the carmakers colluded, in breach of EU anti-trust rules, to avoid competing on technology to clean up petrol and diesel car emissions. It said it was focusing on information indicating that the companies, including VW-owned Audi and Porsche, had met to discuss the development and deployment of emissions technology. Two kinds of emissions control systems are under scrutiny: \"The Commission's in-depth investigation in this case concerns specific co-operation that is suspected to have aimed at limiting the technical development or preventing the roll-out of technical devices,\" it said. All three companies issued statements saying they were co-operating fully with the Commission and would not comment further on the proceedings. Daimler pointed out that the proceedings related exclusively to Europe and that there had been no price-fixing allegations. BMW said it was \"wholeheartedly committed to the principles of market economics and fair competition\". The Commission said it had no indications that the carmakers co-ordinated with each other on the use of illegal emissions-cheating \"defeat devices\". Volkswagen admitted in 2015 to using \"defeat device\" software in the US to cheat diesel engine emissions tests, plunging the company into scandal. Since then, emissions irregularities have surfaced at several major carmakers, although none were found to be as serious as at Volkswagen. Analysis: Theo Leggett, BBC business correspondent This investigation could prove very costly for the carmakers concerned. If the Commission finds that there has been deliberate wrongdoing they could face very heavy penalties. Cartel action is frowned upon in Brussels. Fines can run into the hundreds of millions - if not billions - of euros. Then there's the political backdrop. Since the scandal over emissions cheating at Volkswagen erupted three years ago, any hint that manufacturers may have been sabotaging efforts to produce cleaner cars has gone down very badly - especially in Germany. The fact the VW Group itself is involved is likely to raise further concerns. Car companies do talk to each other regularly about issues such as technical standards or improving safety. All of that's allowed; the question is where they draw the line between essential cooperation and anti-competitive behaviour. That's likely to be the focus of the Commission's inquiry, which remains an inquiry - for the moment.",

            "input": "By Kevin PeacheyPersonal finance reporter A change in the law and the start of the Open Banking system means people can allow businesses, other than their bank, to access their financial data. Organisers say this has the potential for consumers to get better deals, such as cheaper overdrafts, and to speed up the switching process. But warnings over fraud risks have already been issued. As part of the same legislation, surcharges for payments made by credit card, debit card, or other payment systems such as PayPal will be banned. How it works Traditionally, banks have held all our information about our past transactions and spending habits. A change in UK law now means that banks and building societies must allow regulated businesses access to a customer's financial data, but only if the customer has given their permission. The bank can only block access if it suspects fraud or unauthorised access. The UK's Open Banking system should ensure that such access is given by the UK's nine biggest current account providers in a secure way, and without the need for customers to reveal their online banking login details or passwords. The main idea is that individuals can allow apps and online services to analyse their spending and find better deals on everything from loans and mortgages to shopping and broadband. Customers can give, and withdraw, permission at any time. Imran Gulamhuseinwala, trustee of the organisation overseeing Open Banking, said: \"It is difficult to overstate just how revolutionary open banking could, and should, be. New products will emerge from incumbents and entirely new entrants will join the market.\" Open Banking in action Examples of new services include: Source: Open Banking Delays and concerns The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) told the UK's nine biggest current account providers to be ready to start Open Banking by 13 January. However, only four - Allied Irish Bank, Danske, Lloyds Banking Group and Nationwide Building Society - will be fully ready to begin. A maximum of six extra weeks of preparation time has been given to Barclays, Bank of Ireland, RBS and HSBC by the CMA. Santander-owned Cater Allen, which offers business accounts, has been given an extra year. Analysts and regulators expect consumer behaviour to change steadily over time. Surveys have suggested that most customers are reluctant to give out too much information about themselves. Only firms which are regulated and registered on a directory will be allowed to take part in Open Banking. However, NatWest, one of the banks ordered to be ready for the new system, has warned that fraudsters could mimic these firms to trick people into giving them access to their accounts. Such a fraud could leave consumers at risk of losing their money. New financial service providers are also expected to be targeted by hackers, although they must prove their robustness to regulators. Gareth Shaw, of consumer group Which?, said: \"Open banking has the potential to offer consumers more control of their finances and boost choice but it also comes with potential risks around data privacy and security. \"Regulators and industry must ensure that customers are properly protected from data breaches and scams, which is vital if consumers are to use these services with confidence and trust.\" If a mistake is made by a regulated service using Open Banking, such as money going missing from an account, then a consumer should be compensated by their bank. If the fault is with a third party, then the bank must make a claim to that business. Card surcharge ban The changes surrounding access to financial data have been introduced as the EU's second payment services directive comes into force in the UK. The same legislation will bring an end to the extra cost added on at the end of the process of buying something online, such as a flight ticket, when using a credit or debit card, or being hit with a surcharge when using a card in a small shop. The Treasury estimates that surcharging cost British consumers a collective £166m in 2015. The legislation also means bank and building society customers will have the right to a free, monthly, paper bank statement.",

He made the remark to back his observation that cows should replace the tiger as the national animal because \"it's also holy\". Experts have rejected his claims. Mr Sharma told reporters in the northern Indian city of Jaipur that he believed people revere both peacocks and cows because of their \"divine qualities\". He added that he had recommended that the government should immediately declare the cow as the national animal. But social media users vehemently disagreed. Experts said there was no merit in Mr Sharma's theories. \"This theory about peacocks drinking tears to breed is an old hoax. They breed like all other birds, by means of sexual copulation,\" Bikram Grewal, an ornithologist, told The Indian Express newspaper. Mr Sharma is not alone in demanding national status for cows, considered sacred by India's majority Hindu community. Many states have actively started enforcing bans on cow slaughter after the Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) formed India's federal government in 2014. In addition to government bans, several vigilante groups who portray themselves as protectors of cows have also been active in several states.

It adds that making universities give a year's free tuition to poorer students could push fees up higher. The government says it wants to open up universities to more people. MPs will vote later this week on plans to raise fees to a maximum of £9,000. There are also plans to cut university teaching budgets which along with the fees rise have sparked widespread protests. Under its national scholarship scheme the government is proposing to fund a year's free tuition for students from the poorest backgrounds - those who were on free schools meals when they were at school. And universities charging more than £6,000 in fees would be required to give a second year free to poorer students. 'Increase fees' In a letter to universities minister David Willetts, the chief executive of Million+ Pam Tatlow pointed out that free school meal students were not evenly distributed between universities. She said proposals that require universities to match-fund a year's free tuition would have damaging consequences for universities which contribute most to social mobility. These are the universities who admit more students from disadvantaged and free school meal backgrounds. Ms Tatlow added: \"A requirement to fund free tuition is more likely to increase rather than decrease fees in those universities with more free school meal students. \"Nick Clegg has also implied that universities which provide two years' free tuition will be compensated by the government. \"Only those institutions with very few free school meal students and big endowment funds are likely to be able to afford to do this. \"This would immediately disadvantage free school meal students studying at universities with more socially inclusive profiles.\" 'Life-changing' The think tank also claimed the £150m scholarship fund was too small to fund the number of poorer students going to university. It calculated that the scholarship scheme could fund 8,333 students at £6,000 a year or 6,944 at £7,200 a year. If fees were £9,000 a year it would fund 5,555. However, in the cohort of students graduating last year there were 10,670 who had been in receipt of free school meals. Universities Minister David Willetts said he wanted as many students from disadvantaged backgrounds who want to go to university to have that life changing opportunity. \"The proposals we have set out will help give poorer gifted students an extra incentive to go into higher education. \"We will be writing to our universities stressing that we will be looking to them to do everything they can to make sure they are attracting our brightest and best students, no matter what their background is.\"",

            "input": "By Nomia Iqbal and Elaine DoranNewsbeat reporters The Home Office is giving police in England and Wales new powers in a drive to crack down on domestic abuse. At the moment the government's definition of domestic violence recognises the impact of threatening behaviour but it has never been a law. Home Secretary Theresa May says coercive control \"can be tantamount to torture\". \"Domestic abuse is a hideous crime that shatters the lives of victims, trapping them in cycles of abuse that too often end in tragic and untimely deaths,\" she said. \"In many cases, dominance over the victim develops and escalates over the years until the perpetrator has complete control. \"The government is committed to protecting the victims of this terrible crime and it is clear that this new offence has the potential to save lives.\" It means that now for the first time people who control their partners through threats or by restricting their personal or financial freedom, could face prison in the same way they do if they're violent. The new offence, which will come into force in late 2015, will mean abusers could face up to five years behind bars if found guilty of domestic abuse. Find out who can help at BBC Advice The victims Alison - we've given her another name to protect her identity - was in an abusive and violent relationship for around 12 months. \"It started with name calling, 'You're fat', 'You're lucky that I love you because no-one else would'.\" She says after he'd isolated her from her family and friends the abuse became physical. \"I was flung across the room, hit, punched, kicked, head butted and strangled. \"I felt numb, scared. I didn't know whether he was going to carry on. I didn't know if I was going to see tomorrow. \"He apologised but the abuse continued, five days a week. \"Police never prosecuted him and I still get a recurring dream of not being able to breathe and I see him with his hands around my throat.\" Alison thinks that emotional abuse is common in relationships, especially among teenagers. NSPCC figures suggest one in five teenage girls has been assaulted by a boyfriend. \"I don't think girls know it's domestic abuse,\" admits Alison. \"I actually wish they'd brought in [these new laws] back when it happened to me because my ex got away with what he's done. \"Also if they taught it in schools I might have understood it more.\" About 1.2 million in Britain experience it each year with two dying every week. 700,000 of them also go through the same abuse, according to the British Crime Survey. Mark Kirkpatrick's former girlfriend, Gemma Hollings, almost killed him after a row in May 2014. \"She was alright in the first few weeks. I thought it was a passing thing when she became controlling. \"She started telling me not to wear shorts. She wouldn't let me have my hair shaved even though that's how it was when she first met me. \"It got violent after a few weeks of living at hers. She pushed me, tried strangling me.\" Mark admits he wasn't truthful to the police and it was only after they were persistent that he admitted to the abuse he had been suffering. \"In a way I was worried about it getting out and people saying, 'Oh, he's been beaten up by a woman' and also I loved her.\" Hollings was jailed for eight years over the attack. The police In a recent government-commissioned report, police forces in England and Wales were criticised for failing to tackle domestic violence. Theresa May said the report by the HM Inspectorate of Constabulary (HMIC) was \"depressing reading\". It found only eight out of 43 forces were responding well to the issue. Lancashire Constabulary, who dealt with Mark's case, was found to have made the best response to domestic abuse. Newsbeat gained access to their dedicated domestic violence unit where 38,000 calls come through to the control room every year. Leanne Lyons and Keziah Harrison work as detective constables within the unit. They interview dangerous offenders and safeguard victims. Leanne says: \"We go out and spend time with our victims. We're not in uniform so it's not as formal as it once was. \"We need to be friendly so people can approach us. \"When it comes to domestic violence, people should recognise it isn't just about partners. It's family. It's mothers and children, fathers and children, brothers and sisters. \"Not everybody wants to go through prosecution and we accept and understand that.\" The women say they deal with many teenagers. \"We know relationships are starting from a younger age where they're all loved up but there are warning signs that they should be aware of. \"If anybody makes you feel intimidated and bullied, we encourage victims to jot it all down in a diary and to talk to their friends.\" Keziah says: \"Victims are too scared to come forward because of the consequences. It's easier to deny what's happening to keep things normal in the household. \"If they are referring to help lines, it's important they know they can disclose things to others if they're not ready to come to the police.\" Campaigners Harry Fletcher, head of the Digital Trust which deals with online abuse, helped to draw up the amendment. He says: \"Coercive control has caused psychological damage to victims. This new amendment will mean police will have the power to investigate the totality of behaviour.\" \"It will increase victims' confidence in the system and lead to more successful prosecutions.\" Polly Neate, Chief Executive of Women's Aid, says: \"The government's announcement of a new domestic violence law is a significant first step towards protecting women experiencing domestic violence. \"We welcome the home secretary's announcement that the government will criminalise the patterns of coercive, controlling, and psychologically abusive behaviour which lie at the heart of the abuse so many women experience. \"We hope this new law will lead to a real culture change, so that every woman experiencing control can get the support she needs to break free safely.\" Follow @BBCNewsbeat on Twitter and Radio1Newsbeat on YouTube",

By early 2011, agency staff had completed a pilot project to produce an interactive virtual dive using computer animation, real survey data, photographs and video footage. The pilot showcased the Loch Sunart Special Area of Conservation (SAC), which is now also a Marine Protected Area (MPA).

The Scottish government is now proposing a two-stage process to allow motorsports events to be held on closed public roads. British Rally UK manager Ian Campbell said \"an awful lot of work\" had gone into getting to this stage. Iain Provan, 64, Elizabeth Allan, 63, and Len Stern, 71, died at the Jim Clark Rally four years ago after being struck by a car that had lost control. The rally has not been held on its traditional route since. 'Proud tradition' A fatal accident inquiry delivered its findings into the incident last year and now the Scottish government is looking at ways which could allow the event's revival along with the Isle of Mull Rally. It said it recognised the need to balance economic benefit and public enjoyment with safety. Transport Secretary Michael Matheson said Scotland had a \"long and proud tradition\" in the world of motorsports. However, he added that the dangers and risks also needed to be \"correctly assessed and managed\". The proposals would see a two-stage process introduced with motorsports governing bodies given the power to issue permits for events to be held on closed public roads. That would allow event organisers to approach the relevant local authority to seek a motorsports event order in the second stage of the procedures. 'Fantastic opportunity' Mr Campbell told BBC Radio Scotland's Good Morning Scotland programme that rallying made an \"enormous\" contribution to the economy. He said the loss of the Isle of Mull Rally had been \"felt by everybody on the island\". He added that safety recommendations for the sport following the fatal accidents had all been implemented. \"We can see that over the last five years that procedures and implementation and experience have all increased,\" he said. Mr Campbell described the proposed legislation as a \"fantastic opportunity\" for the sport and the communities involved. Consultation on the proposals runs until 28 January. Organisers of the Jim Clark Rally have urged the motorsports community to give their feedback on the plans. They said it could allow the revival of their event and possibly see new rallies established across Scotland.",

According to a telephone poll conducted by Survation, 19.8% of respondents said they either had \"some\" or \"a lot of\" sympathy for young Muslims who left the UK to join fighters in Syria. The right-leaning newspaper's story stated that the respondents were expressing sympathy for those \"who have fled the UK to fight for IS,\" or so-called Islamic State. The paper spoke to prominent Muslims, who said the poll was a \"wake-up call\" and quoted one of the country's most prominent Muslim politicians, Labour MP Sadiq Khan, who said: \"It is clear that Britain needs to take its head out of the sand.\" Reaction in the rest of the British media was swift, with left-leaning papers attacking the survey's methodology and The Sun's interpretation. The Independent noted that the question was broadly phrased and the results were not similar to a poll of non-Muslims conducted by the same company in March - nearly 14% of respondents in that survey said they had some or a lot of sympathy with young Muslims travelling to Syria. The Mirror noted that the poll actual question did not use the word \"jihadis\", and that it referred generally to \"fighters in Syria\" and did not actually mention Islamic State. The Sun is standing by its report and said the people surveyed were aware that the \"fighters\" meant Islamic State specifically. \"If we cling to the fiction that IS have little or no support here we cannot begin to grasp why so many alienated British youths are seduced by its extremism and murder and why so many more openly promote it.\" But online the headline sparked a hashtag - \"1 in 5 Muslims\" - that spread throughout the UK and to other countries, with many mocking the survey with jokes and made-up facts. A wide variety of people used it, including many British Muslims. \"#1in5Muslims have an uncle who could have got it cheaper for you,\" joked one user, while another tweeted: \"#1in5Muslims get told to go back to their country 'Islam' every week.\" Follow BBC Trending on Facebook Join the conversation on this and other stories here. The hashtag has been used more than 74,000 times and trended not just in the UK but also in Malaysia, Pakistan, Australia, Canada, India, Qatar, South Africa, the UAE and the US. One of the accounts promoting the hashtag in the UK tweeted that \"it was started to show The Sun they cannot scaremonger a community\" and urged people to register a complaint with the Independent Press Standards Organisation.

Because she already suffered rheumatic problems, she \"never thought\" to connect her symptoms with coronavirus. She was transferred to a community hospital set up to deal with the impact of the pandemic. \"Of course, I never dreamed I had that, because I was never going out, nobody was coming in. It was quite a shock really,\" she said. Her gradual recovery meant she was able to be transferred from Bangor to Ysbty Bryn Beryl in Pwllheli - one of three community hospitals transformed into \"red sites\" in north west Wales. They are designed to accommodate patients who no longer require care in the most acute settings, easing pressure on the main hospitals and placing patients closer to their own communities. She said: \"I feel much, much better - wonderful really. And I can sleep, because in Bangor I was hallucinating. \"I can't remember very much about the Monday I went in, I was so bad. You've got to trust the doctors, they know what they're doing. Do what they say and keep going - be positive. \"I can't thank them enough for their kindness, and they've been there 24/7, 100%... and I'm very, very thankful for it.\" \"I'm feeling fine. I'm ready to go home really, except I'm a bit wobbly on my feet.\" In response to the outbreak, Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board transformed community hospitals in Pwllheli, Dolgellau and Tywyn, closing the minor injury units to increase the available number of beds in Gwynedd and Anglesey. Units at other hospitals have been used to deal with other unrelated conditions. 'A calmer environment' Eilir Hughes, clinical lead at Ysbyty Bryn Beryl, said people on the coronavirus ward were mainly \"step-down patients\" transferred from district general hospitals for ongoing rehabilitation. \"Every single one of them has had a positive covid test and some of them are actually nearing the end of life as well, so there is palliation going on here as well. It's a quieter unit, so it's more conducive for palliation than some of the busier wards.\" He said one of the advantages of caring for suitable patients in community hospitals, was that \"it's a calmer environment\". \"The nurses often know the patients or their families so there's that link to them. \"Because patients can't see their own families, at least it feels a bit more familiar to them, and they know that they're closer to home, and that's really important to these patients.\" Ysbyty Bryn Beryl also contains a purpose-built assessment centre for people suspected of potentially having the coronavirus. Assessments are strictly by referral and appointment, and are conducted without patients having to enter the main building. Louise Davies, an assistant director of nursing services, said some of the changes to community hospitals \"have been massive\". \"Any space available has been emptied. It's been cleaned. Some areas had to be re-decorated. \"We have had to segregate places so that we ensure our patients remain safe. \"We've had to provide showering and changing areas separate for nursing staff and our colleagues.\"",

Petition push But she added: \"We're not prepared to enter into such talks until we have a clear statement, from the highest levels of government, clarifying that the planning system is not there principally to promote economic development. \"Planning is essential for protecting vital public interests, including the quality of the landscape, respect for environmental limits, and making good places.\" The document's \"core principles\" include proposing that those making decisions about planning applications \"should assume that the default answer to development proposals is 'yes' except where this would compromise the key sustainable development principles set out\". Earlier, National Trust external affairs director Ben Cowell said: \"The danger is, the way the document has been written. \"The tension within government policy is between localism and economic growth and they come down clearly on the side of economic growth. \"So local people will be given the power to say yes but not the power to say no.\" 'Completely compatible' Trust members have been asked to sign a petition against the plans in the hope it will gain more than 100,000 signatures, which could trigger a debate in Parliament. The government believes the reforms are key to making the planning system less complex and more accessible. After Tuesday's meeting, a spokesman for Mr Clark said the minister \"was confident that the objectives of the government and the trust were completely compatible - to ensure that the planning system is simplified and delivers sustainably the houses and jobs we need.\" Specific concerns could be addressed in further meetings, he said. \"Mr Clark confirmed that, as it always has been, the role of the planning system continues to ensure that promoting growth is combined with safeguarding our natural and historic environment,\" the spokesman said.

This summer's grades will be decided by teachers, after exams were cancelled. Results days will be earlier than usual - A-levels and AS-levels on 10 August and GCSEs on 12 August. Exams regulator Qualification Wales said in its latest guidance on how A-levels, AS-levels and GCSEs will be assessed, that there would be a three-stage appeals process, beginning with the release of provisional grades in June. Exam board the Welsh Joint Education Committee (WJEC) will not change the grades once they have been submitted by schools or colleges, but they can approach them about \"atypical\" grading. A second stage, after official results are published, would be an appeal to the exam board if candidates feel the grades given by their school or college are unreasonable or a procedural error has been made. The final stage of appeal is to the watchdog, Qualifications Wales. But Gareth Evans, director of education policy at the University of Wales Trinity St David's, said it was \"another very, very late decision, another change\" and that \"there are going to be number of very frustrated and disappointed teachers\". He told BBC Radio Wales Breakfast: \"I think this is a way of building in another safety net to give pupils that opportunity to challenge and to probe the rationale behind the awarding of their grades. \"That doesn't however excuse the fact this announcement has been made in March when I think decisions could have been taken in the autumn if not earlier.\" The process is different to what is happening in England, where appeals are only possible after results day in August. Philip Blaker, chief executive of Qualifications Wales, said they had been working with the WJEC exam board and the Design and Delivery Advisory group of schools and college leaders to come up with an effective appeals process. They had also considered the recommendations of a highly critical independent review into last summer's exams fiasco. \"As with all the decisions being taken for this summer, there are no easy answers,\" Mr Blaker said. \"We are committed to putting the needs of the learner at the heart of our work.\" The guidance also covers arrangements for private candidates, who are not registered at a particular school or college, including home-educated children and some students who are resitting. Schools and colleges across Wales will be identified as hubs for some private candidates to take assessments which will be graded by the exam board. Wales' Education Minister Kirsty Williams announced summer exams were cancelled in November, and a system of assessments was put in place instead. However they also had to be scrapped when schools and colleges were closed in January, and it was decided that teachers and lecturers would determine their students' grades. Summer 2020 grades were eventually based on teachers' grades after uproar about the \"downgrading\" of results as a result of a standardisation process.",

The data also highlights 833 probable suicides - a small increase (6%) for a second year in a row. And a total of 2,726 accidental deaths were recorded, a rise of 8.5%, with the majority caused by accidental poisonings or falls. Pete Whitehouse, director of statistical services, welcomed the \"notable\" fall in the alcohol-specific deaths but said it was too early to tell if it can be maintained. Minimum unit pricing He said: \"Since our records began in 1979, there have only been three other occasions where we have seen a reduction in the number of alcohol-specific deaths of around 10% or more in a single year. \"However, although an annual decrease of this magnitude is notable, further data will be required to see if this reduction continues and whether we will see a sustained shift in alcohol-specific deaths in Scotland.\" Alcohol-specific deaths are those which are known to be a direct consequence of alcohol misuse, while alcohol-related deaths includes those which are only partially caused by abuse of alcohol. The drop in alcohol-specific deaths in Scotland is the first substantial decrease in that category since 2012. It follows the introduction of minimum unit pricing by the Scottish government in May 2018 a bid to cut consumption and save lives. In January it emerged the amount of alcohol sold in Scotland's shops fell during the first year of minimum pricing but sales increased south of the border. The NRS report also recorded the second successive annual increase in the suicide figures, following a downward trend since the early 2000s. And the data shows that, after adjusting for age, the death rate for people in the most deprived areas was 1.9 times that of those in the least deprived areas. This gap has gradually increased over time from a ratio of 1.6 in 2000. The 2020 annual report will include data from first 10 months of the Covid pandemic, which some experts fear will be responsible for an increase in alcohol abuse and suicides. Alison Douglas, chief executive of Alcohol Focus Scotland, described the figures as \"very encouraging\". \"The evidence from the evaluation of minimum unit pricing so far has shown that it is having the intended effect on alcohol consumption, and now it looks like we may be beginning to see this translate into health benefits.\" She called for the 50p minimum price to be reviewed as it is likely to have been \"eroded due to inflation\" since MSPs passed the Alcohol (Minimum Pricing) (Scotland) Act in 2012. 'Hidden in plain sight' Scottish Families Affected by Alcohol and Drugs said the new statistics meant more than 10,784 alcohol deaths had now been recorded between 2010 and 2019. Chief executive officer Justina Murray said: \"Scotland's ongoing unhealthy relationship with alcohol means that alcohol harm and alcohol deaths are hidden in plain sight. Last year, a report found Scotland has the highest rate of alcohol-specific deaths in the UK although rates have improved significantly in the past two decades. Meanwhile, the NRS figures show that men accounted for nearly three quarters (74%) of probable suicides in 2019 and nearly a third (32%) of the total were aged between 45 and 59. National Suicide Prevention Leadership Group chairwoman Rose Fitzpatrick said people need to be encouraged to talk about the issue and seek help. She added: \"Suicide prevention has never been more important. \"While today's figures predate Covid-19, the pandemic is likely to have a long-term impact on wellbeing and mental health as people's lives change.\" 'Source of shame' Scottish Conservative mental health spokesman Brian Whittle said the statistics should be a \"source of shame\" for the SNP. Scottish Greens health spokeswoman Alison Johnstone said there was an \"urgent need\" for the Scottish government to improve access to mental health services. And Scottish Liberal Democrats health spokesman Alex Cole-Hamilton called for a \"serious expansion\" in the number of dedicated NHS mental health staff and described the suicide figures as \"devastating\". Rachel Cackett, executive director of Samaritans Scotland, said: \"It's particularly concerning to see rates of suicide increase for almost all age groups and for rates among young people under 25 continuing to rise this year. \"And, as in previous years, people living in the most deprived communities in Scotland continue to be around three times more likely to take their own life, compared to those living in the wealthiest communities.\" 'Significant toll' The Scottish Children's Services Coalition said the situation had worsened due to the coronavirus crisis and warned that further cuts in services would create a mental health \"perfect storm\". And Councillor Stuart Currie, Cosla's health and social care spokesman, highlighted the link to poverty and the profound grief behind the statistics.

            "input": "By Joseph LeeBBC News Julie found out you could buy large knives on the internet when she witnessed her son brandishing one and slashing the furniture at home. In the past couple of months, she says she has had to call the police twice to their home, most recently as she was barricaded in the bathroom while her son - a young adult - tried to break down the door with a knife. Now the family are living in lockdown together, struggling with isolation, a loss of their support network and a claustrophobic atmosphere that Julie describes as a \"tinderbox\". She says she believes her son when he told police that he never meant to hurt her, that he just wanted her to know how angry he was. But incidents of intimidation happen two or three times a week, she says. Liam suffered trauma as a child and has learning difficulties which affect memory, emotional regulation and social skills. The family manage his aggressive outbursts with the help of a list of friends and supporters who come round at a moment's notice to help defuse tensions. But these coping techniques are threatened by the social distancing rules. Her husband has to work outside the home, so Julie says if she cannot call on these supporters, \"I am very much on my own\". It's not known precisely how many parents live with violence from their children. Figures compiled by the BBC last year suggest the number of incidents recorded by police doubled to 14,133 between 2015 and 2018 - but many may go unreported. 'Like living with nitroglycerine' Helen Bonnick, a former social worker and campaigner on the issue, says that international evidence suggests about one in 10 parents may experience some violence from their children, although severe incidents are more rare. Some aggressive children have problems dealing with their emotions, she says, but others are \"much more manipulative and controlling, in a way that feels more like adult violence\". Lockdown raises the stakes for these families, reinforcing their isolation and underlining the message to parents from violent children \"that they can't go out, that they're stuck in here with them, that they can do what they want and no one will know,\" says Ms Bonnick. \"Parents who have experienced intimate partner violence and then child-to-parent violence will often say this feels worse - because it's your own flesh and blood,\" she says. Neil, who lives in the east of England, says the aggression from his son, Ben, was just \"cute\" aged four and became worrying when he was eight. Now he is living with a teenager and \"suddenly it's quite dangerous\" - with Ben increasingly reaching for knives or bottles. Ben is autistic and has moderate learning difficulties as well as ADHD. The disruption to his routine caused by the coronavirus outbreak has sent his stress levels soaring and made angry outbursts more likely, his father says. \"He's that much closer to boiling over constantly. It really doesn't take much for him to turn around and explode. It's like living with a bucket of nitroglycerine sometimes,\" says Neil. A key coping strategy before the lockdown was taking Ben for long drives, which he found calming. Now even that has become loaded with anxiety, as they fear being stopped by the police for making an unnecessary journey. \"Life was hard already and Covid is making it harder,\" Neil says. Peter Jakob, a clinical psychologist who helps people facing this issue, says the isolation and shame that parents already feel is a major challenge in tackling violence from their children. But he says it can still be addressed, even in lockdown. Dr Jakob encourages parents to have a network of supporters who can launch what he calls a \"campaign of concern\" - where after an incident, a number of people contact the child using messaging or video-chatting apps like WhatsApp or FaceTime. \"Most children don't want others in the community to know that they act in violent, aggressive or otherwise destructive ways,\" he says. If they can no longer \"silence their parents\" from telling others about their behaviour, they often feel forced to change, he says. 'Being visible is important' But Suzanne Jacob, chief executive of domestic abuse charity Safelives, says that parents in these circumstances need understanding from the authorities as well as from their communities. She says in some cases children have used police enforcement of the lockdown against their parents, knowing the adults will be blamed if they flout the law. \"So while parents are already feeling blamed and inadequate and guilty, this situation is reiterating how little support is available to them and how much people will misunderstand the situation they're in,\" she says. Ms Jacob says she wants to see more acknowledgement from government that home isn't a safe place for some people, whether that's victims of abusive partners or parents with violent children. \"Just acknowledging it is helpful to people. Survivors often say being acknowledged, being visible is really important - it validates that fact that this is a thing that goes on,\" she says. \"Those messages would help people feel like they're not going mad.\" * Names of family members and some identifying details have been changed to protect their identities.

Police said it was thought the individual fell from a Kenya Airways flight from Nairobi. A neighbour said the body fell a metre away from a resident who had been sunbathing in the garden. The man, who did not want to be named, said he heard a \"whomp\" so he looked out of an upstairs window and saw the body and \"blood all over the walls of the garden\". \"So I went outside, and it was just then the neighbour came out and he was very shaken,\" he said. The neighbour, who asked not to be named, said a plane spotter, who had been following the flight on an plane tracking app from Clapham Common, had seen the body fall. The plane spotter had arrived almost at the same time as the police and told them the body had fallen from a Kenyan Airways flight. \"If it had been two seconds later, he would have landed on the common where there were hundreds of people - my kids were in the garden 15 minutes before [he fell]\", the neighbour added. \"I spoke to Heathrow. They said this happens once every five years.\" Describing the victim, he said: \"One of the reasons his body was so intact was because his body was an ice block.\" At the scene Phil Shepka BBC London Offerton Road in Clapham, on a bright summer's day, is a tranquil and leafy corner of south-west London. You could be forgiven for thinking nothing of any significance had happened here recently. Other than journalists arriving, there is little activity, with many people presumably out at work. But every 30 seconds or so the quiet is punctured by the din of jet engines travelling overhead, indicating the road's position directly underneath a major highway for aircraft, heading for Heathrow from across the globe. The Met Police said a post-mortem examination would be carried out in due course and the death was not being treated as suspicious. Kenya Airways said the aircraft was inspected and no damage was reported. A bag, water and some food were found in the landing gear compartment on the aircraft when it landed. Security concerns at Nairobi airport By BBC Reality Check The discovery of the stowaway who started his journey from the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in Nairobi has raised questions about the effectiveness of security checks in place there. The airport is already under a state of heightened security largely responding to the threat posed by the militant group al-Shabab, based in neighbouring Somalia. A similar incident took place in 1997 when the body of a young man was found hanging in the nose-wheel bay of a British Airways flight from Nairobi after it landed at Gatwick Airport. The Kenya Airports Authority (KAA) says a team has been assembled to investigate how the stowaway got on board the plane. The KAA carries out security drills at the airport - most recently in November 2018. A spokesman for Kenya Airways said: \"The 6,840km (4,250-mile) flight takes eight hours and 50 minutes. It is unfortunate that a person has lost his life by stowing aboard one of our aircraft and we express our condolences. \"Kenya Airways is working closely with the relevant authorities in Nairobi and London as they fully investigate this case.\" It is not the first death of this kind on the Heathrow flight path. In June 2015, one man was found dead on the roof of notonthehighstreet.com's headquarters in Richmond, west London, while another was found in a critical condition after they both clung on to a British Airways flight from Johannesburg. In August 2012, a man's body was found in the undercarriage bay of a plane at Heathrow after a flight from Cape Town.",

The move is widely seen as an attempt to protect the region before Mr Obama leaves office in January. Supporters of president-elect Donald Trump could find it difficult to reverse the decision. Canada also committed to a similar measure in its own Arctic waters, in a joint announcement with Washington. The White House said the decision was for \"a strong, sustainable and viable Arctic economy and ecosystem.\" It cited native cultural needs, wildlife concerns, and the \"vulnerability\" of the region to oil spills as some of the reasons for the ban. But while Canada will review the move every five years, the White House insists Mr Obama's declaration is permanent. The decision relies on a 1953 law which allows the president to ban leasing of offshore resources indefinitely. During the election campaign, Donald Trump said he would take advantage of existing US oil reserves, prompting concern from environmental groups. But supporters have already suggested that any attempt to reverse the \"permanent\" decision outlined by the law would be open to a legal challenge. Reacting to the Arctic declaration, Friends of the Earth said: \"No president has ever rescinded a previous president's permanent withdrawal of offshore areas from oil and gas development. \"If Donald Trump tries to reverse President Obama's withdrawals, he will find himself in court.\" However, the American Petroleum Institute said \"there is no such thing as a permanent ban,\" and that it hoped Mr Trump's administration would simply reverse the decision. Boost for fragile waters: Roger Harrabin, environment analyst The ban is a huge boost for conservation in the fragile waters of the Arctic - and for campaigners urging action against climate change. The oil industry has a bad safety record in northern waters already. In 1989 the tanker Exxon Valdez ran aground in Alaska, spilling hundreds of thousands of barrels of crude oil, polluting 1,300 miles of coastline. Some of the oil endures, and some animal species have yet to recover. In 2014, Shell's drilling rig the Kulluk also ran aground in the Arctic's tempestuous seas. The firm subsequently halted Arctic exploration. Northern waters are so cold that it takes bacteria much longer to break up oil products than in the warm waters of the Gulf. And the drilling conditions are among the most challenging on Earth. President Obama is heeding advice from scientists warning that humans have already discovered three times more fossil fuels than we can burn without risking the climate. Oil firms will still want to explore for further profits, though. And the next secretary of state, Exxon's Rex Tillerson, may offer the industry a route round the ban by paving the way to an Arctic drilling deal with Russia. Follow Roger on Twitter @rharrabin Mr Trump has also raised fears among some environmental campaigners through his choices for senior White House roles. Rex Tillerson, chief of oil company Exxon Mobil, has been named his secretary of state. His energy secretary, Rick Perry, has previously called for less regulation of the oil industry in his role as governor of Texas. Environmental groups strongly criticised both appointments. Very little oil drilling currently takes place in the Arctic region, as it is more expensive and difficult than other available options.",

            "input": "Consumer Prices Index inflation jumped to 0.6%, from 0.3% in November, pushed higher by rising transport and clothes prices, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) said. Many people rushed to travel and beat Christmas restrictions, forcing up prices. The rise was slightly higher than many economists' forecasts of 0.5%. What is inflation? Inflation is the rate at which the prices for goods and services increase. It affects everything from mortgages to the cost of our shopping and the price of train tickets. It's one of the key measures of financial well-being, because it affects what consumers can buy for their money. If there is inflation, money doesn't go as far. Read more here. What's the explanation for these figures? ONS deputy national statistician for economic statistics Jonathan Athow said: \"Clothing prices put upward pressure on inflation in December, despite some evidence of continued discounting. \"Transport costs, including air, sea and coach fares, as well as petrol prices, rose as some travel restrictions eased during parts of the month. \"These were partially offset by falling food prices, most notably for vegetables and meat.\" What are the main effects for shoppers? Statisticians said it was normal for transport costs such as the price of flights to rise at this time of year, but that the rise was bigger than usual. \"Despite the travel restrictions in place in December, prices for air fares followed their usual seasonal pattern, with price increases between November and December 2020, albeit by more than between the same two months in 2019,\" the ONS said. The ONS added that clothing prices rose \"fractionally\" in December, a month in which they usually tend to fall because of sales. Price increases for items such as children's toys, computer games and consoles - which fall under the category of \"recreation and culture\" - also helped push the cost of living higher in December. Food and non-alcoholic drinks were the main things that were cheaper last month, particularly vegetables, the ONS said. What's the reaction from economists? Samuel Tombs, chief UK economist at Pantheon Macroeconomics, said the rise in transport costs was partly due to the timing of the ONS survey. \"The ONS collected its data five days closer to Christmas Day last month than in December 2019; airline fares tend to rise sharply as the Christmas holidays approach,\" he said. \"Looking ahead, we expect CPI inflation to hover between 0.5% and 0.8% in [the first quarter], before leaping to 1.5% in April, when Ofgem likely will increase its default tariff cap for electricity and natural gas prices, and the anniversary of last year's slump in oil prices will be met.\" Janine Boshoff, an economist at the National Institute of Economic and Social Research, said the institute's own measure of underlying inflation, which excludes extreme price movements, remained unchanged at 0.3% in December. \"Our analysis at regional level indicates that regions that entered higher tiers of restrictions in December experienced marked decreases in consumer prices during the month,\" she added. \"Inflation is likely to remain subdued in the short-term due to the effects of continued lockdown measures to stem the spread of Covid-19.\" What does it mean for the wider economy? The rate of increase of prices in November was still very modest, but this figure is the first of a few such rises expected. The biggest contributor was an increase in the cost of transport services such as air fares, as well as a smaller decline in clothing prices. Some of these figures are distorted by the unusual pandemic patterns of spending. In the coming months, energy price rises, a return to VAT of 20% and rises in costs of EU imports and freight costs will also push up overall prices. But with pandemic pressures on the economy remaining, such increases in inflation are not likely to require the Bank of England to lift interest rates. It will recalculate its forecasts for the economy next month. Progress in immunisation will be as important for that as the path of inflation.",

Four Leicestershire firefighters ran 63 laps in their full uniform and breathing apparatus around Leicester City's King Power Stadium to make up their half marathon distance. \"We don't want to let our donors down and obviously we have trained so hard for it we didn't want to just not do the run,\" said Joe Robinson. They have raised £2,500 for the Vichai Foundation, in memory of the club's former chairman, and The Fire Fighters Charity. Three friends from the Parklands Ladies Running Club, who are training for the London Marathon, also completed a half marathon. They set off from Foxton Locks on Saturday and took a \"lovely route\" along the canal to Market Harborough before returning to the start. \"We had quite a lot of support and people saying 'come on girls', because we had our numbers on,\" said Ms Bradshaw. \"I think they [the race organisers] made the right decision - if people were falling over and injuring themselves people would have said they shouldn't have run it.\" Organisers said after days of heavy rain and \"extreme flooding\" parts of the route were unsafe, particularly in Watermead Park and nearby villages. Race director Andrew Ward said the response from people had been \"incredible\". \"I wouldn't advise anyone to run the route itself because it's not safe,\" he said. \"But if people want to run the distance elsewhere, where there are no floods, then they are more than welcome.\" He said runners could email them with a record of their distance to get the medal they would have received at the finish line.

Ministers had previously faced criticism for not testing everyone. Initially, they had opted only to test individuals with symptoms. They then increased testing to larger care homes with no signs of the virus on 6 May. On 16 May the Welsh Government announced testing would be extended to all care home residents and staff in Wales. Mr Drakeford made the comments at the Welsh Government daily press conference on Monday. Speaking at the time of the policy change in mid-May, Health Minister Vaughan Gething said changes resulted from \"emerging evidence and scientific advice\". If all care homes are tested by 12 June, then it would have taken roughly a month to do so since the policy change was announced on 16 May. Mary Wimbury, chief executive of Care Forum Wales, has previously said she wanted to see all care home residents and staff tested \"at least weekly\". The \"test, trace, protect\" system launched last Monday sees the close contacts of people who have tested positive for coronavirus asked to self-isolate for 14 days. In a paper on 19 May, the Welsh Government's scientific advisors said \"speed of testing and tracing\" is the most important factor in producing an effective contact-tracing system. Only 62.3% of tests done in 24 hours But official statistics show that on 31 May, only 62.3% of the results of coronavirus tests conducted in hospitals were received within 24 hours. The figure dropped to 57.5% of tests at drive-through centres and 55.5% of tests at coronavirus testing units - the worst set of figures for both settings since weekly test results were first published at the end of April. On Monday, Mark Drakeford repeated his call to process coronavirus tests more quickly. \"We're doing around 3,000 tests a day and that means that we will be able to do more of those tests, more quickly,\" he told BBC Politics Wales. \"Our ambition is to have as many of them as possible done within 24 hours so that if people don't test positive we can release people back into the workforce and that's a moving picture,\" he added.",

The twins are currently at a hospital in the capital Sanaa, which is in the hands of rebel Houthi movement. Its airport is blockaded by a Saudi-led coalition backing Yemen's government. Yemen has been devastated by a conflict that escalated in early 2015, when the Houthis seized control of much of the west of the country and forced President Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi to flee abroad. At least 6,800 civilians have been killed and 10,700 injured in the war, according to the United Nations. The fighting and a partial blockade by the coalition have also pushed Yemen to the brink of famine and left 16 million people without basic healthcare. Abdul Khaleq and Abdul Rahim have separate heads, spines, lungs, hearts and digestive systems, but share a liver, as well as two kidneys, two legs and two arms. The boys need help to breathe are being treated in an incubator at Sanaa's al-Thawra hospital.

Its George's Quay headquarters is one of the most recognisable buildings in Dublin's financial district. But for the past decade the Republic of Ireland operation has been an expensive headache for its UK parent company, the NatWest Group. Ulster Bank was an enthusiastic participant in Ireland's property bubble in the mid-2000s. This was the era when its parent company, then known as RBS, was under the control of chief executive Fred Goodwin. Mr Goodwin was set on growing RBS into the one of the world's biggest banks, a hubristic exercise which ended with the bank only being saved from insolvency by UK taxpayers. His Ulster Bank lieutenants helped inflate the Irish bubble from two directions. In 2003, it was the first lender to offer 100% loan-to-value mortgages to house buyers. Like Ireland's other banks it also provided huge loans to property developers. It was the main lender to developer Sean Dunne when he spent €375m (£325m) buying hotels in Dublin in 2005 for an ill-fated redevelopment scheme. The bank suffered multi-billion euro losses when the bubble burst and had to be bailed out to the tune of £15bn by its parent company. By this stage the majority shareholder in RBS was the British state. Ulster Bank in the Republic of Ireland has never really recovered from the property crisis. In 2014, RBS began the process of reversing the overseas expansion which had been driven by Mr Goodwin. From that time Ulster Bank's future has been a source of constant speculation. In 2015, RBS performed a piece of corporate surgery which formally split the Northern Ireland and Republic of Ireland operations. Ulster Bank NI began reporting to the bank's UK division while Ulster Bank RoI stood alone. This obviously made it easier to close, sell or merge the Republic of Ireland operation. The NatWest Chief Executive Alison Rose has now announced a phased shut down. Perhaps the only thing that is surprising about this move is that didn't happen earlier. Lloyds effectively shut down its Irish operation, Bank of Scotland Ireland, in 2010. Other lenders like Danske and Rabobank have also pulled down the shutters on their Republic of Ireland operations. The remnants of Ulster Bank will now be a Northern Ireland-only operation. Not so very different from where it was in the 19th century.",

            "input": "It comes after Home Secretary Priti Patel revealed quarantine plans for visitors to the UK from the same date. France said it would impose reciprocal measures for any European country enforcing a quarantine. Travellers arriving in France from Spain by plane will also be asked to go into quarantine from Monday. Speaking at Friday's Downing Street briefing, Ms Patel said travellers to the UK will need to tell the government where they will quarantine, and face enforcement through random spot checks and £1,000 fines in England if they do not comply. She said the measure would \"reduce the risk of cases crossing our border\". Lorry drivers, seasonal farm workers, and coronavirus medics will be exempt. The requirement will also not apply to those travelling from the Republic of Ireland, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man. If a person does not have suitable accommodation to go to, they will be required to stay in \"facilities arranged by the government\" at the person's own expense, according to Border Force chief Paul Lincoln. The Home Office said the new policy will be in place across the UK, although how it is enforced in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland will be determined by the devolved administrations. Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said discussions would take place with Police Scotland to work out how the policy will be implemented. 'Not shutting down' Ms Patel told the briefing the measures were not the same as completely shutting the UK border to visitors. \"We are not shutting down completely. We are not closing our borders,\" she said. And asked about the prospect of foreign holidays this summer, the home secretary added: \"This is absolutely not about booking holidays. We want to avoid a second wave and that is absolutely vital.\" So-called \"air bridges\" - agreements with countries that have low infection rates allowing tourists to travel without quarantining - will not be in place initially, the government said. The new measure, previously announced by Prime Minister Boris Johnson, will be reviewed every three weeks once it is introduced. But airlines have said a quarantine requirement would \"effectively kill air travel\" - and one airport boss described the plans as a \"blunt tool\". The government currently recommends international travel only when absolutely necessary, and nobody should travel if they display any coronavirus symptoms. Victoria Bacon from ABTA, the travel industry trade body, told the BBC the government needs to come up with some \"wider, more forward thinking\" strategies for the industry. \"There's a whole range of support, not just financial, that the government can put in place to start helping the sector and we've heard very little from them. We really desperately need some help,\" she said. What does the new system involve? Passengers arriving in the UK will be required to fill out an online locator contact form - providing details of where they will spend their 14 days in self-isolation. The Home Office said the proposed accommodation will need to meet necessary requirements, such as a hotel or a private address with friends or family. There will be a fine of £100 for failure to complete the form, and the Border Force will have the power to refuse entry to non-UK citizens who do not comply with the new regulations. New arrivals will be told they may be contacted at any time during their quarantine and, in England, may be visited by public health authorities conducting spot checks. They will be told to avoid public transport and travel to their accommodation by car \"where possible\", and not to go out to buy food or other essentials \"where they can rely on others\". In England, a breach of self-isolation would be punishable by a £1,000 fixed penalty notice, or prosecution and an unlimited fine for persistent offenders. Why now? Analysis by Helen Catt, political correspondent The big question being asked about quarantine is: why now? The government argues that it simply wouldn't have made enough of a difference while the virus was spreading widely within the UK. But it hasn't, so far, fully explained why such a blanket measure was not introduced much earlier in the outbreak, before the virus took hold. People returning from Wuhan city and Hubei province in China were put into isolation for 14 days from late January. Later, those returning from Italy were told to self-isolate. But the measure was not extended to travellers from every country. There are also questions about how this will work in practice and what it will mean for the travel industry, which is already suffering huge losses. The Home Office has published a full list of exemptions to the new requirements. The list includes road haulage and freight workers, medical professionals travelling to fight Covid-19, and seasonal farm workers who will self-isolate where they are working. Ms Patel said the new measures aim to \"keep the transmission rate down and prevent a devastating second wave\". \"I fully expect the majority of people will do the right thing and abide by these measures. But we will take enforcement action against the minority of people who endanger the safety of others,\" she added: Labour's shadow home secretary Nick Thomas-Symonds said the party supported the new measures \"but is clear they are no substitute for a long-term, well thought through approach\". The number of people who have died with coronavirus in the UK has reached 36,393 - a rise of 351 on Thursday's figure.",

            "input": "By Douglas FraserBusiness/economy editor, Scotland They told consultants that Britain's departure from the European Union poses risks to competitiveness, profitability and, in some cases, firms' viability. The concerns were highlighted during a Scottish government consultation. Only one in 12 of the companies that took part last autumn said they were fully prepared. Nearly three-quarters said they had taken some steps to prepare and one in six reported they did not feel ready at all. Business consultancy EY, formerly Ernest & Young, carried out the research for Scottish ministers, seeking information from 80 representative companies and trade associations. It offers the most detailed analysis yet of the implications of Brexit for Scottish business, while also offering ideas on how they could seize opportunities that arise. It found, between September and November, that the sectors most vulnerable to new barriers to trade with Europe are food and drink, chemicals, life sciences and other manufacturing. The same sectors, plus creative industries, emphasised the importance of retaining alignment of the regulations that govern trade between European countries. In life sciences, one clinical trials company \"indicated they may consider relocating labs to the EU\". For food and drink, and for the energy sector, representatives highlighted the risk of higher consumer prices. Tariffs would also price some exporters out of the market. The instance of seed potatoes was highlighted, representing half of the potato harvest and with the potential to earn up to £100m per year. Seed potatoes would carry a 40% tariff if there is no deal on Brexit, and the report says Dutch firms are \"anecdotally, ready to fill in lost supply from Scotland\". The chemicals sector faces tariffs of up to 4%. With low margins, companies clustered around Grangemouth said they risked losing out to more competitively-priced EU rivals. Concerns about being able to recruit people with the right skills were raised most strongly in the food and drink sector, financial services, life sciences and creative sectors. One company said it was already operating below capacity because it could not recruit enough workers to staff its production lines, and it told the consultants it was considering the option of opening up an overseas factory. Risks and benefits While many of the concerns are shared with businesses in other parts of the UK, specific risks were raised about the nature of Scotland's private sector, including smaller Scottish-based firms, and the logistical challenges of trading in goods at a greater distance than the rest of the UK from European markets. In finance, chemicals, life sciences and creative industries, the report highlighted concerns that they thrive where there are clusters of firms, and that the loss of some activity as a result of Brexit may undermine the wider cluster. Scotland's construction industry was found to be less dependent on EU nationals to work in it. But the report suggested that a shortage of construction workers in England would push up wages throughout Britain, particularly as major infrastructure projects - for railways and nuclear power - are under way in England. The EY report also highlighted a risk to the Scottish economy if there is a drop in foreign investment in the country. It has been important to growth and productivity in recent decades. Conversely, a weakening of the pound sterling could make Britain more attractive to inward investors. There are potential upsides to disruption of trade with the EU, however. The report suggests that Scottish companies could take advantage of reduced imports to substitute for them - with more diverse food production, for instance. That \"import substitution\" effect is also suggested in the renewable energy industry, in which much of the equipment is manufactured overseas. Few turbines are made in Scotland, despite strong hopes there would be several factories making them. EY also recommended that businesses needed to review their recruitment plans, and could do more to recruit women, the elderly, the disabled and people from ethnic minorities. 'Urgent steps' It suggested companies should review their financing ahead of Brexit, in case delays mean cash flow problems. It also said the Scottish government should engage with banks, encouraging them to relax credit requirements on smaller companies through Brexit. And it said port and rail companies should work with the Scottish government, to identify ways that direct links across the North Sea could by-pass blockages at English Channel ports, with the potential to open up more direct trade links. Commenting on the report, Derek Mackay, the Scottish economy secretary, said: \"It captures the authentic voice of Scottish business and offers further evidence of the severe and disproportionate impacts that a no-deal outcome would have in Scotland. \"Many businesses highlighted the risks to their competitiveness and profitability, some were worried about future viability and a number are already reporting negative impacts on investment, the costs associated with planning for Brexit and recruitment of staff. \"On top of the damage it is clearly causing to Scottish businesses, Brexit, in whatever form, will cost jobs, make people poorer, damage our society and undermine the democratic decision of the people of Scotland to remain in the European Union. \"The UK government must now take urgent steps to rule out a no-deal Brexit, which threatens to have devastating consequences for jobs, businesses and communities, extend the Article 50 process and hold a second referendum on EU membership.\"",

This is her most precious collection. \"You may take a few close looks,\" she says, \"but don't touch.\" It's a warning she's most likely practised on her younger brother. She laughs after saying it though. She is happy for the audience. Inside the box are rows of small objects in clear plastic bags. One label reads: \"Black table by feeder. 2:30 p.m. 09 Nov 2014.\" Inside is a broken light bulb. Another bag contains small pieces of brown glass worn smooth by the sea. \"Beer coloured glass,\" as Gabi describes it. Each item is individually wrapped and categorised. Gabi pulls a black zip out of a labelled bag and holds it up. \"We keep it in as good condition as we can,\" she says, before explaining this object is one of her favourites. There's a miniature silver ball, a black button, a blue paper clip, a yellow bead, a faded black piece of foam, a blue Lego piece, and the list goes on. Many of them are scuffed and dirty. It is an odd assortment of objects for a little girl to treasure, but to Gabi these things are more valuable than gold. She didn't gather this collection. Each item was a gift - given to her by crows. She holds up a pearl coloured heart. It is her most-prized present. \"It's showing me how much they love me.\" Gabi's relationship with the neighbourhood crows began accidentally in 2011. She was four years old, and prone to dropping food. She'd get out of the car, and a chicken nugget would tumble off her lap. A crow would rush in to recover it. Soon, the crows were watching for her, hoping for another bite. As she got older, she rewarded their attention, by sharing her packed lunch on the way to the bus stop. Her brother joined in. Soon, crows were lining up in the afternoon to greet Gabi's bus, hoping for another feeding session. Gabi's mother Lisa didn't mind that crows consumed most of the school lunches she packed. \"I like that they love the animals and are willing to share,\" she says, while admitting she never noticed crows until her daughter took an interest in them. \"It was a kind of transformation. I never thought about birds.\" In 2013, Gabi and Lisa started offering food as a daily ritual, rather than dropping scraps from time to time. Each morning, they fill the backyard birdbath with fresh water and cover bird-feeder platforms with peanuts. Gabi throws handfuls of dog food into the grass. As they work, crows assemble on the telephone lines, calling loudly to them. It was after they adopted this routine that the gifts started appearing. The crows would clear the feeder of peanuts, and leave shiny trinkets on the empty tray; an earring, a hinge, a polished rock. There wasn't a pattern. Gifts showed up sporadically - anything shiny and small enough to fit in a crow's mouth. One time it was a tiny piece of metal with the word \"best\" printed on it. \"I don't know if they still have the part that says 'friend',\" Gabi laughs, amused by the thought of a crow wearing a matching necklace. When you see Gabi's collection, it's hard not to wish for gift-giving crows of your own. \"If you want to form a bond with a crow, be consistent in rewarding them,\" advises John Marzluff, professor of wildlife science at the University of Washington. He specialises in birds, particularly crows and ravens. What food is best? \"A few peanuts in the shell,\" he says. \"It's a high-energy food… and it makes noise when you throw it on the ground, so they hear it and they quickly habituate to your routine.\" Marzluff, and his colleague Mark Miller, did a study of crows and the people who feed them. They found that crows and people form a very personal relationship. \"There's definitely a two-way communication going on there,\" Marzluff says. \"They understand each other's signals.\" The birds communicate by how they fly, how close they walk, and where they sit. The human learns their language and the crows learn their feeder's patterns and posture. They start to know and trust each other. Sometimes a crow leaves a gift. But crow gifts are not guaranteed. \"I can't say they always will (give presents),\" Marzluff admits, having never received any gifts personally, \"but I have seen an awful lot of things crows have brought people.\" Not all crows deliver shiny objects either. Sometimes they give the kind of presents \"they would give to their mate\", says Marzluff. \"Courtship feeding, for example. So some people, their presents are dead baby birds that the crow brings in.\" Gabi has been given some icky objects. Her mother threw out a rotting crab claw, for example. Gabi points out a heavily rusted screw she prefers not to touch. It's labelled \"Third Favorite.\" Asking her why an untouchable object is in the favourites, she answers, \"You don't' see a crow carrying around a screw that much. Unless it's trying to build its house.\" Lisa, Gabi's mom, regularly photographs the crows and charts their behaviour and interactions. Her most amazing gift came just a few weeks ago, when she lost a lens cap in a nearby alley while photographing a bald eagle as it circled over the neighbourhood. She didn't even have to look for it. It was sitting on the edge of the birdbath. Had the crows returned it? Lisa logged on to her computer and pulled up their bird-cam. There was the crow she suspected. \"You can see it bringing it into the yard. Walks it to the birdbath and actually spends time rinsing this lens cap.\" \"I'm sure that it was intentional,\" she smiles. \"They watch us all the time. I'm sure they knew I dropped it. I'm sure they decided they wanted to return it.\" Writer and broadcaster Katy Sewall is co-host of The BitterSweet Life podcast.\" She's been a journalist and radio professional for 12 years.

Lula has rejected claims that he received an apartment as a bribe in a corruption scandal linked to state oil company Petrobras. He says the trial is politically motivated and has strongly denied any wrongdoing. The case is the first of five charges against him. Running again? Lula served eight years as president until 2011 and has expressed interest in running again in next year's elections for the left-wing Workers' Party. On Wednesday, a judge found him guilty of accepting bribes from engineering firm OAS in the form of a beachfront apartment in return for his help in winning contracts with the state oil company. In a statement, Lula's lawyers insisted he was innocent and said they would appeal. \"For more than three years Lula has been subject to a politically motivated investigation. No credible evidence of guilt has been produced, and overwhelming proof of his innocence blatantly ignored,\" they wrote. The head of the Workers' Party, Senator Gleisi Hoffmann, also hit out at the ruling, saying it was designed to stop Lula standing for office. She said the party would protest against the decision. In theory, Lula is free to run in the presidential election until the legal process ends. The BBC's Katy Watson in Rio says he remains a popular politician and the sentence will deeply divide Brazil. The charges Lula faces relate to the Car Wash scandal, the nickname for Brazil's biggest ever corruption probe. Operation Car Wash was launched three years ago amid escalating public anger over political corruption. The investigation centres on firms that were allegedly offered deals with Petrobras in exchange for bribes, which were funnelled into politicians' pockets and party slush funds. Lula, a former steel worker turned union leader, came to office as the first left-wing leader in Brazil in nearly half a century. He was Brazil's most popular president during his tenure - former US President Barack Obama labelled him the most popular politician on Earth. Unable to stand for a third consecutive term, he was succeeded by close ally Dilma Rousseff, who was later impeached. Current President Michel Temer also faces corruption allegations and is resisting calls for him to step down. Analysis: Justice served? Katy Watson, BBC News, Rio de Janeiro There are few people who polarise political debate as much as Lula. His sentence is no different. While his supporters complain the case was politically motivated, his critics see this outcome as justice served. Overseeing the case was Judge Sergio Moro. He's the man in charge of Operation Car Wash, the country's biggest ever corruption investigation and another divisive figure. He's a superstar crusader or a man on a mission to destroy Lula and the Workers' Party, depending on your viewpoint. But for or against, this sentence just goes to show how far Operation Car Wash has come. Not even Brazil's most popular politician has been untouched by this.",

In a television address on Friday, the king said the measures would entrench democratic institutions and protect rights. The proposals will be put to a referendum on 1 July, but many activists have reacted with scepticism, saying Morocco's 400-year-old dynasty has a long history of enacting superficial reforms.

It comes a day after credit ratings agencies raised alarm after Venezuela missed recent debt interest payments. Venezuela owes an estimated $140bn to foreign creditors. The government hosted a meeting in Caracas earlier this week to discuss restructuring, but creditors who attended the meeting told journalists that it ended without the government making any concrete proposals. Venezuelan officials said the government had started transferring $200m in interest payments and would continue to meet its obligations. \"Venezuela is moving forward towards recomposing its external debt in benefit of its people\" Venezuela's Finance Minister Simon Zerpa said on Wednesday as he announced the deal with Russia. Confidence from China Russia and China are among the main allies of Venezuela, which has historically relied on its oil wealth to buoy its economy and finance its government. But a decline in oil prices has sent the country into economic and political crisis. The US and European Union have imposed sanctions, citing repressive policies by the government. The Russian Finance Ministry said the deal announced Wednesday would allow Venezuela to release funds for economic development and improve its ability to repay all creditors. Russia previously agreed to restructure Venezuela's debt in 2014. This deal expects full repayment in 10 years. Separately, China also expressed confidence in Venezuela's financial situation. \"We believe that the Venezuelan government and people are capable of properly handling their debt issues,\" the Foreign Ministry spokesperson said at a press conference. \"At present, the financing cooperation between China and Venezuela is running as usual.\" Venezuela has borrowed billions of dollars from Russia and China over the years, primarily through oil-for-loan deals. Analysis: Daniel Gallas, BBC South America correspondent The world watches Venezuela without quite knowing what to make of its recent missed payment deadlines. Is this the beginning of the world's largest debt default? Or is it just a minor setback for a country in financial trouble? Venezuela says it wants to restructure its massive debt. But its failure to present a credible plan in a meeting with investors on Monday suggests President Nicolas Maduro's only real strategy is to buy more time. Wednesday's new deal with the Russians may be crucial to honour upcoming payments. But how long can Venezuela afford to keep buying just time - before it actually goes bankrupt?",

            "input": "To understand the significance of getting it right on special needs education - particularly for children requiring the most intense support - you need only spend a day at Treloar's school and college in Hampshire. Providing for young people with cerebral palsy, spina bifida and muscular dystrophy, this independent residential institution offers highly specialist - but inevitably expensive - provision. For the children who come here, Treloar's is usually a life-changing experience. But because the costs are so high, and the procedures are often so bureaucratic and complex, it's not always a smooth process. Like many specialist providers, Treloar's is an independent charity funded from the fees paid by the state, as part of pupils' special needs statements. Graham Jowett, a former principal of Treloar College, who now acts as its consultant, believes the government's Green Paper published this week shows the government is \"moving broadly in the right direction\". 'Bureaucratic and bewildering' Treloar's has welcomed the Green Paper's view that the process of assessing children's special needs is too \"bureaucratic, bewildering and adversarial\". The document proposes replacing the current system of statements - documents detailing what help a child requires - with new \"Education, Health and Care Plans\". Mr Jowett says the students who come to Treloar's need intensive provision including, for many, full-time residential accommodation. That makes this sort of special needs provision \"very expensive\", he says, with the result that some local authorities \"view us with suspicion\" and families are often \"at loggerheads\" with the authorities over the cost. Treloar School educates about 80 children aged nine to 16, while the adjoining Treloar College accommodates 167 students aged 16+. About 90% of students at the college are in wheelchairs, which they steer around visitors with great speed and adroitness. An impressive workshop provides a \"pit-stop\" for repairs to wheelchairs that have been driven too hard or which need to be ingeniously customised to students' needs. In the residential accommodation, the bedrooms are equipped with hoists and other specialist equipment designed to allow students to be as independent as possible. Students' needs vary, but fees can run to tens of thousands of pounds a year. Inclusion debate For Treloar's, one of the frustrations of the current system is that many students arrive with statements of special needs that were made when the children were much younger. This means the statements may either over-estimate or under-estimate a student's needs. The Green Paper recognises the problem, stipulating that the proposed new care plans should be \"regularly reviewed to reflect changing needs\". The government is also seeking to link up different agencies better, acknowledging that families often have to \"negotiate different elements of a child's support separately\". It is an issue that Mr Jowett also points to, saying statements often tend to look only at children's educational needs while failing to take account of therapeutic and holistic needs. But he is less certain about the Green Paper's proposal that by 2014, parents will have a legal right to manage the funding for the support their children need. Not all parents will want to take this up, he says, as experience shows many are \"daunted by managing their own educational finances\". Mr Jowett is, however, delighted that the Green Paper promises to end the \"bias towards inclusion\". Much of the debate over special needs has been over the policy of inclusion, which involves attempting to keep children in mainstream school wherever possible. Its proponents believe it equips children with special needs better for mainstream society and helps improve their integration into it - also building understanding among the children who learn alongside them. But special needs vary widely and there have been concerns over whether the policy is pushing some children into difficult environments where mainstream teachers are not able to provide effective support. \"The constant message is that inclusion is better, even though 80% of disabled children report being bullied in mainstream school - our pupils say how good it is to be in the same boat as others around them,\" says Mr Jowett. One former student told him: \"It's great to be in a place where you don't have to explain your disability, or have a grown-up everyone thinks is your mum following you around carrying your laptop.\" Costs pressure But as a non-mainstream provider, is Treloar's simply defending its own interests by opposing inclusion? Amanda Quincey, principal of Treloar College, insists that \"where students do not need our services we are honest and don't offer a placement\" because they could stay in mainstream schools with the right support. However, she says the real tensions arise because of the current assessment and funding system. \"The people we are dealing with are under pressure to reduce costs and are asking us to reduce what we do,\" she says. And concerns over funding are shared by local authorities. While the Local Government Association says some councils have \"made great strides\" in improving provision, it too stresses that the government must ensure \"sufficient funding\" for future special educational needs provision in a climate of cuts. The government says it plans to commit more money, but has not yet given details. Mr Jowett too is worried about \"whether the funding will be there\" for the changes. And the future of the system, he says, is particularly important because advances in medical care mean that the number of children with very complex special needs, like those at Treloar's, is increasing.

OCR has apologised, saying it will make sure candidates are not disadvantaged by the mistake. But some students writing on social networking sites have been calling for the test to be re-run. The error was in an exam paper taken in 335 schools and other exam centres in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Stress The question carried eight marks out of 72 being awarded for the paper. Candidate Thomas Fay, who contacted the BBC News website, said he had been distressed to find a question that appeared \"impossible\". \"This threw me in the exam and many people found this to cause much added stress in the exam,\" he added. \"Many people are worried that the mistake made by the examining board will severely affect the mark and grade they achieve in the paper. For many this was a final exam and will most likely influence final grades and university admission.\" Dozens of other students have messaged the BBC News website to voice their anger and fears about their grades. Aron De Vos, 17, from St Albans, said: \"I spent a good 15 minutes trying to answer that question. I was getting very frustrated about why I couldn't get the answer. \"I want to retake that exam. I can't believe how much time was wasted on a question where we were only able to get zero marks.\" OCR has said it deeply regrets the \"unfortunate error\" and says it has a range of procedures in place to ensure candidates are not disadvantaged. Review A spokeswoman said: \"We very much regret that there was a mistake... and that our quality assurance procedures failed to identify this error. \"Because we have been alerted to this so early, we are able to take this error into account when marking the paper. We will also take it into account when setting the grade boundaries. We have sent a letter to all schools and colleges explaining in more detail what we shall do. \"We do apologise again that this has happened.\" The exam body says it is not going to discount the question from the marking, because that might disadvantage candidates who spent a lot of time trying to answer it. Students will be awarded points for their attempts to work out the question and measures are also in place which are designed to recognise that other candidates may have discovered the error quickly, OCR says. OCR released full details of the error - on paper \"Decision Mathematics 1\" - as follows: BBC News website readers have been sending in their comments and experiences, a selection of which can be read below: I did the D1 exam and I remember doing this thinking, \"there goes eight marks\". The exam was hard enough without an 'impossible' question making it even harder. And, it did stress me and many of my classmates out, even if it was just one question. We came out trying to be as optimistic with our expected results. Sultan Ijaz, Carshalton, Surrey My son is in his last year of sixth form and has taken this exam. He needs an A in it to get his place at Nottingham for a Pure Maths degree. The question severeley affected the whole of his exam, not only did he spend 40 minutes trying to answer that one question, but he also subsequently ran out of time leaving questions unanswered. He cannot retake as he needs his results this summer or faces an extra £21,000 in tuition fees. This could definitley cost my son his uni place. Victoria Malone, Caddington, Bedfordshire I took this paper last Thursday. This particular question was worth eight marks which is over 10% of the paper. I just thought it was very hard rather than being impossible. Given the choice I would prefer to retake the paper. John Wheal, Colchester Having spent a long time on this question I resorted to crossing out all of my working out. The amount of time I spent meant I wasn't able to answer the rest of the exam paper to the best of my ability. The only logical option I could see for OCR is to put out another exam paper quickly or my application to university will be extremely hindered due to this being 33% of my A-Level grade. It's ridiculous, how can the highest marked question on the paper not be double/triple checked? Tom, Scunthorpe I'm a student who sat this exam and I spent ages on this very question, continually getting the right answer (but not the one they stated). I'm annoyed and yet grimly satisfied to be proven right, but that won't get back the time I wasted trying it again and again, which certainly compromised my efforts on the rest of the paper. Curtis, Caldicot I took the exam and it was horrible. I needed to get a high mark to meet my Cambridge offer but that question put me off so badly that I'm not sure if I have made it. You expect examining boards not to make such mistakes, on which your future relies upon, but on this occasion they have failed. Anand, Ashby It was a terrible exam, and I regretfully, burst into tears after the exam in front of my maths teacher. After learning that the exam board had made such a careless mistake, a mistake that would affect the lives of thousands of students, you can understand our frustration, anger and disappointment. I feel it is within the best interests of the students that we are able to sit a new Decision Mathematics 1 exam to recitfy the foolish mistakes of OCR. Kalpita, York This is a disgrace. My daughter realised there was a mistake and moved on, so didn't put a lot of working into the question. I honestly don't believe that a statistical approach to marking this question does anything than assure that the results distribution matches an average of previous results. It does nothing to reassure an individual they weren't disadvantaged over another student sitting a different board's exam or module who also needs the same grade to get to university. Ian McGregor, Horsham Can't see what the fuss is all about. The question is worth eight points from a potential 72. Don't re-run the test, ignore the question and mark the paper out of 64.

Governments previously failed to agree to impose the tax across the entire 27-member EU or 17-member eurozone. The UK and 15 other EU members will not introduce the tax, which is intended to discourage speculative trading. Some European governments have blamed speculators and excessive trading for exaggerating the swings in financial markets during the 2008 crash and the recent eurozone crisis. \"It is a milestone for EU tax policy, as it paves the way for more ambitious member states to progress on a tax file, even when unanimity could not be achieved,\" said Algirdas Semeta, the European Commissioner for tax. \"Those who want to move ahead, and who appreciate the merits of working more closely on taxation at EU level, can do so.\" Tax avoidance The tax - also known as a Tobin tax after the economist who originally came up with it 40 years ago - is expected to be charged at a rate of 0.1% of the value of any trade in shares or bonds, and 0.01% of any financial derivative contract. Although the tax is not being adopted by the UK, which already charges its own 0.5% stamp duty on trading in shares, it will nonetheless have to be paid by investors trading on the London Stock Exchange who are based in one of the 11 countries. The other nine going ahead with the tax are Spain, Portugal, Italy, Belgium, Austria, Slovakia, Slovenia, Greece and Estonia. Agreement over the tax had already been reached before the meeting, and the nod from a majority of the Ecofin group of EU finance ministers - a requirement of the enhanced co-operation procedure - was merely a procedural matter, according to the Irish Finance Minister Michael Noonan. It is only the third time the voting procedure has been used to enable a select group to go ahead with deeper integration, having previously been used for divorce and patents laws. The Netherlands, which did not join the pioneer group on this occasion, had been strongly opposed to the transactions tax, but recently elected a new government. The new Dutch Finance Minister, Jeroen Dijsselbloem, who was elected the new chair of the Eurogroup of eurozone finance ministers on Monday, is supportive of the measure. Other eurozone countries that chose not to participate include Luxembourg and Cyprus, both of whom are significant offshore financial centres. The UK and Sweden, while not opposed to the tax in principle, have both warned that it makes little sense unless it is applied globally, as investors will simply move their trading activity to a different country in order to avoid paying it. It is not yet clear how the proceeds of the tax will be used, but one possibility is that they will be collected by the European Commission to finance a bailout fund for eurozone banks.",

            "input": "By Iain WatsonPolitical correspondent, BBC News The fault line in recent years has been between those who are described as \"orange bookers\" - and those who see themselves as \"social liberals\". The former are contributors to - or avid consumers of - the 2004 tome whose subtitle was \"Reclaiming Liberalism\". In essence, it argued for the party to be more economically, as well as socially, liberal. One of its contributors - David Laws - denounced \"soggy socialism\" - and has subsequently argued that the publication began to shift the centre of gravity in the party away from big government solutions and from tax and spend. The latter group are a mixture of those who see themselves as more \"radical\", along with some former members of the SDP. Some of these social liberals are also members of the Beveridge group, named after the Liberal who did so much to shape the welfare state. They don't like a nannying government but they are equally critical of what they see as the market fundamentalism of some of their colleagues. This latter group tend to be intrinsically less comfortable with the whole concept of coalition with the Conservatives - though many accepted the arithmetic inevitability of it after the election. Amongst their number are those who in the past opposed a policy of \"equidistance\" between Labour and the Conservatives and would naturally have preferred, if pressed, a deal with Labour. Their loyalty may have been more likely to have been assured had they been given a decent share of government posts in coalition, but only a very few have. As the tuition fee vote looms, it looks increasingly likely that the Lib Dems will split three ways, and possibly four - with an attempt to call the whole thing off until next year. There were moves \"in the interests of unity\" to get all Lib Dem MPs to abstain together, government ministers included, in line with the coalition agreement. Ideological split But as ministers such as Vince Cable were ridiculed for sitting on their hands instead of backing a policy that they had been allowed to shape, signals were sent out that many of them were unlikely to abstain after all. This appears to have caused a potential rebellion to snowball, with possibly more than a dozen Lib Dem backbenchers likely to oppose a tuition fees rise rather than simply failing to vote at all. At first glance the split could appear ideological. The Lib Dems who have taken to the airwaves to argue that the proposed system is more progressive than the current means of financing higher education are those who wrote articles for the Orange Book - notably leader Nick Clegg and Business Secretary Vince Cable. They genuinely believe that those who get most benefit from higher education should pay a contribution when they graduate and the more they earn, the more they should pay. Beveridge Lib Dems still tend to cling to the idea that education is a right, not a privilege, and believe that any increase in fees - even though these are not paid upfront - would scare off people from modest backgrounds from going on to higher education. If tuition fees signalled the start of an ideological split of this nature, it could spell trouble for the coalition - with many of the frontbenchers having to live with the prospect of regular rebellions from more \"radical\" backbenchers as the coalition takes further difficult decisions. This, in turn, could mean that the Conservatives would suggest the Lib Dems were acting in bad faith, and might, as the senior partner, put Lib Dem-friendly policies into the legislative slow lane. But in truth, the situation facing the Lib Dems is rather less straightforward than a philosophical difference of opinion. The split isn't just between those in the Beveridge group and those who wrote the Orange book. One of the Beveridge group's leading lights - Alistair Carmichael - is the Lib Dem whip responsible for getting the tuition fess policy through. Meanwhile Charles Kennedy wrote the foreword to the garish 2004 publication, but - by all accounts - appears to be determined to vote against the rise in tuition fees. And Chris Huhne is both in the Beveridge group, contributed to the Orange Book - and may be absent from Thursday's vote. He's currently on government business in Cancun dealing with climate change rather than with the heated internal debate in his party. But in some ways a non-ideological dispute has potentially even more serious consequences for Nick Clegg. Some Lib Dem backbenchers say the issue is at least as much about trust as it is about tuition fees. They signed a pledge opposing a rise in fees, and simply do not buy the Clegg/Cable argument that, as they didn't win the election, they have had to accept compromises in coalition and have improved the system of student finance significantly. They say that now, with a share of power for the first time in two generations at national level, they should be able to insist on more of their objectives - not fewer. And they take the view that if the Lib Dems lose what was a unique selling point at the last election - that they could restore trust in politics and do things differently from Labour and Conservatives - then it may be a long time before they get a share of power again. And while no doubt there will be some philosophical underpinning to any rebellion, some rebels may be more than a little motivated also by a straightforward political calculation. Julian Huppert represents Cambridge - a seat snatched by his Lib Dem predecessor from Labour in 2005, in the wake of anger over Iraq - and held in the wake of anger over tuition fees in 2010. Awkward squad He has signed the NUS pledge to oppose any increase in fees since the election and after the party went in to coalition. If, as seems likely, the Lib Dems do split on this vote, some commentators will predict if not the death knell of the coalition, then the beginning of the end. But this would be over-dramatic. With the party already having plummeted in the polls, it's likely they will hang together rather than hang separately and hope that by the next election voters will be more forgiving, especially if they have other achievements to trumpet. Party strategists say they do worry about an as yet unreported division - and that is not ideological, but practical. The split, they say, is really between those who have adjusted to government - who can compromise for the greater good and who will argue for apparently unpopular positions to try to change opinion rather than just reflect it - and those who feel more comfortable being in a protest group. Despite all the fuss on fees there have already been some small backbench rebellions, for example on VAT, which have largely gone unnoticed. On the other hand, the \"protest group\" may grow if others begin to share their overarching grumble that the Lib Dems are not getting enough out of the coalition. This group would point out that as well as the VAT rise - which the party had campaigned against before the election - the commitment in the coalition agreement on Capital Gains Tax was watered down and they fear the government will backtrack soon on control orders. So a more permanent awkward squad, already in embryo, might begin to develop - rather than a more serious breach in the coalition. As Nick Clegg meets sceptical MPs on an individual basis before Tuesday evening's meeting of his entire parliamentary party, there are now also grumbles about the way the coalition document itself was negotiated. The party's new President Tim Farron says that fees should have been a red line - with Lib Dems not settling for an opt out but insisting fees would not rise as a price of coalition. He is not opposed to changing the system of student finance but is highly likely to vote against the increase in fees this week. So, it's a complicated tale... but there is a final twist. It may have escaped some people's notice, but the official position of the party as whole - and as things stand, the policy on which they would campaign at the next election - is to scrap tuition fees entirely over a six year period.",

            "input": "By Brian WheelerPolitical reporter So how did Euroscepticism conquer Britain? The word \"Eurosceptic\" was not coined until the 1980s, to describe a rebellious band of Tory MPs, but hostility to closer European integration dates back decades. Britain voted overwhelmingly to remain in the European Economic Community in 1975, but never joined the currency or the passport-free area, and a substantial body of public opinion had always believed the country was better off out. They rarely had a voice at Westminster. The campaign to leave the European Union - via another referendum - took root outside of Parliament. It was pursued by mavericks, political outcasts and a fair few eccentrics. It was a long, and often thankless, battle - and it began before Britain had even joined. 1961 - The birth of Euroscepticism With World War II fresh in the memory, and the Empire rapidly disintegrating, Conservative Prime Minister Harold Macmillan decided Britain's future lay in Europe. His, in the end unsuccessful, application to join the six nation European Economic Community enraged many in his party, who saw it as a betrayal of the Commonwealth nations, which were Britain's biggest trading partners at the time. Many in Labour viewed the EEC as a business-led Tory con trick. Both sides fretted about the loss of independence and status it would seem to entail. Most opponents of membership tended to be on the far left and right fringes, but there were big, mainstream voices in both the Labour and Tory parties that were also firmly against it. \"I'm not very keen on the Common Market. After all, we beat Germany and we beat Italy and we saved France and Belgium and Holland. I never see why we should go crawling to them,\" said former Labour Prime Minister Clement Attlee. The first substantial campaign against British membership - The Anti-Common Market League - was formed in June 1961, by a bunch of disgruntled Conservatives. It had broadened out into a cross-party effort by the following September, when it staged a mass anti-Common Market rally at London's Albert Hall. 1967 - Keep Britain Out Euroscepticism has always attracted colourful characters. Major Oliver Smedley was a decorated World War II veteran and pirate radio entrepreneur, who was cleared of murder in 1966 after he shot a business rival in a dispute over a transmitter. Maj Smedley, who quit the Liberal Party after being slow-handclapped at the party's conference, believed joining the \"protectionist\" EEC would lead to higher food prices and poverty. His Keep Britain Out campaign merged with the Anti-Common Market League in the late 1960s and is still going today, as Get Britain Out. 1973 - Britain goes in On 1 January 1973, Britain officially joined the EEC, at the third attempt. Opinion polls suggested the nation was divided over Tory Prime Minister Ted Heath's decision. Eurosceptics, on the left and right, stepped up their calls for a referendum. 1975 - 'Out of Europe and into the world' There was widespread disbelief in Eurosceptic circles when voters opted by 67% to 33% to stay in the Common Market, in the UK's first nationwide referendum. The vote had been called by Labour Prime Minister Harold Wilson largely as a way to paper over the huge divisions in his party over Europe. Some polls suggested the unlikely alliance of Tony Benn, from the Labour left, and Enoch Powell, Ulster Unionist and former Tory, who emerged as the chief spokesmen for the No campaign, was a turn-off for voters. Whatever the case, the defeat was a body blow to the Eurosceptics. Many lean years followed, with poorly attended meetings, lost election deposits and pamphlets few read, even if polls suggested Britain was turning against the EEC. Labour campaigned to leave the EEC at the 1983 general election but went down to a heavy defeat and the Eurosceptics in its ranks were pushed to the margins. 1988 - 'A European super-state' Margaret Thatcher's Bruges speech was the moment Euroscepticism in the UK was reborn and it arguably set Britain on the path to Brexit. She had travelled to the Belgian city to fire a warning shot across the EEC's bows, over its ambitions to move beyond the single market to create a \"social Europe\", with new employment rights and regulations on business, as well as a single currency. It all smacked of socialism by the backdoor to Mrs Thatcher, rather than the free trade area she had enthusiastically championed in 1975. Britain's \"destiny is in Europe\", she stressed, but added: \"We have not successfully rolled back the frontiers of the state in Britain, only to see them re-imposed at European level, with a European super-state exercising a new dominance from Brussels.\" It was a riposte to a speech Jacques Delors, president of the European Commission, had given to the Trades Union Congress 12 weeks earlier. Which brings us to... 1990 - Up Yours, Delors In 1975, Britain's best-selling newspaper, The Sun, had told its readers: \"We are all Europeans now.\" In November 1990, it called on its front page for them to stick two fingers up to Jacques Delors - \"Up, Yours Delors\", said the headline - to \"tell the French fool where to stuff his ECU\" (the ECU was the forerunner of the euro). The rest of the right-wing tabloids were now just as Eurosceptic, if not as blunt. But calling for Britain to leave was still strictly off limits in the mainstream media and politics. 1991 - The birth of UKIP It began in a dusty office at the London School of Economics. European history lecturer Alan Sked founded the Anti-Federalist League to \"prevent the UK becoming a province of a united European superstate\". The tiny group, which included Nigel Farage among its early recruits, campaigned against the Maastricht Treaty, which would turn the EEC into the European Union, including a commitment to \"ever closer union\" and the free movement of people. The League soon changed its name to the more voter-friendly UK Independence Party and began calling for Britain's exit from the EU. But it was largely ignored, or ridiculed, by the media, and struggled to make an impact. Mr Sked, a former member of the Liberal Party, left in 1997, complaining that it had been taken over by right wingers and racists. 1993 - The Maastricht rebellion Conservative MPs fought a guerrilla war against their own government's support for the Maastricht Treaty. Some of the Maastricht rebels would go on to play leading roles in the 2016 Brexit campaign (before receiving knighthoods), including Sir Iain Duncan Smith, Sir Bill Cash and Sir Bernard Jenkin. But even the most Eurosceptic among them never spoke publicly about leaving the EU at this stage, preferring instead to talk about \"reform\" or, if they were in a daring mood, \"fundamental reform\". 1997 - Goldsmith weighs in The mercurial billionaire, and father of Conservative minister Zac, founded the Referendum Party to campaign for Britain to be given another say on Europe. He spent more than £7m on the party's 1997 general election campaign - including a glossy promotional video mailed to five million households - for a 2.6% share of the vote. 1999 - Farage goes to Brussels In many ways, Nigel Farage owes his political career to a Belgian mathematician. In 1878, Victor D'Hondt devised the system of proportional representation adopted by the UK in 1999 for elections to the European Parliament. UKIP and other smaller parties, like the Greens, had stood no chance under first-past-the-post. Suddenly the door to a seat in Brussels was open, and Mr Farage and two other UKIP candidates were first through it, despite receiving virtually no national media coverage for their campaign. \"Brexit wouldn't have happened without proportional representation or, ironically, the European Parliament,\" Mr Farage told Channel 4 News this week. \"It was actually getting elected to that place that gave us some kind of platform,\" he added, and UKIP used the \"wherewithal\" provided by the Brussels parliament to \"build a UK political movement\". The same year saw the arrival of Dominic Cummings, future mastermind of the Vote Leave campaign, on the Eurosceptic scene, as campaign director of anti-euro pressure group Business for Sterling. 2004 - The BBC sacks a daytime TV presenter UKIP was still struggling for public recognition and credibility when, out of nowhere, Robert Kilroy-Silk joined it. A household name, due to his long-running daytime talk show, Kilroy, he had been fired by the BBC over comments he'd made in a newspaper column. Mr Kilroy-Silk's brief UKIP adventure - and the massive injection of cash that came with it, from self-made Yorkshire millionaire Paul Sykes - helped the party to the best results in its history in the 2004 European elections, gaining 2.6 million votes. UKIP - and its call for a referendum on leaving the EU - were now on the political map. 2006 - 'Fruitcakes, loonies and closet racists' It's possible to track the rise of UKIP in insults directed at its members by Conservative leaders, as they tried in vain to stem the flow of supporters to Nigel Farage's \"People's Army\". In 2004, Michael Howard - who would go on to be a Brexit supporter - called them \"extremists\" and \"cranks\". Two years later David Cameron refused to apologise for labelling them \"fruitcakes, loonies and closet racists\", handing UKIP a publicity coup and a rallying cry. 2011 - Tory MPs call for a referendum Some 81 Tory MPs defied Prime Minister David Cameron to vote in favour of an EU referendum in October 2011. Mr Cameron easily won the vote, with Labour support, but leaving the EU - as one of a range of options - was now firmly on the agenda at Westminster. Mr Cameron would announce plans for a referendum just under two years later. 2014 - UKIP runs riot Nigel Farage had finally found a way to turn the latent Euroscepticism in large sections of the British public into electoral gold, as concerns about the flow of migrants from new EU states were added to the traditional cry for freedom from bossy Brussels bureaucracy. UKIP seemed unstoppable in 2014. It topped the poll in the European elections, with a massive 3.8 million votes - and made further gains in local elections to consolidate the breakthrough it had made in 2012. Then Mr Farage turned up the heat on David Cameron by unveiling two Tory defectors, Douglas Carswell and Mark Reckless, in quick succession, with the threat of more to come. 2016 - Johnson joins the Leave campaign David Cameron had been stunned by the number of Conservative MPs who had joined the Leave campaign, not realising the depth of Eurosceptic feeling in his party. But he had not expected Boris Johnson to join the cause. The official Leave campaign wanted nothing to do with Nigel Farage over fears he would scare off floating voters. Its recruitment of Mr Johnson - one of the biggest, and most popular, names in British politics - was a game changing moment. Euroscepticism had finally shaken off its reputation as an eccentric fringe movement. Recalling UKIP's early days in the European Parliament in 1999, at a farewell press conference in Brussels on Wednesday, Mr Farage said: \"We were considered pretty odd. Perhaps we were, I don't know, certainly very eccentric. \"And as those years went by I did begin to wonder whether I might become the patron saint of lost causes.\" But now, he added, \"far from being a minority sport, Euroscepticism had become the mainstream, settled view in the United Kingdom\".",

As many as 800 migrants are feared drowned after the boat they were travelling in capsized in Libyan waters south of the Italian island of Lampedusa on Sunday. The IOM believes the number of migrants dying in Mediterranean Sea crossings could hit 30,000 this year if the current rate continues. Federico Soda, IOM's Italy director, said the Italian maritime forces were doing \"incredible work\" trying to rescue as many people as possible, but that the rising number of deaths was \"unacceptable\". \"Search and rescue efforts must be more comprehensive and supported by the European Union and its member states. This is a humanitarian emergency that involves us all and responses to it must be more holistic.\" Perilous journeys By far the largest number of migrant deaths internationally have taken place in the Mediterranean, according to the IOM. The figures are striking. Not including Sunday's sinking, nearly eight out of every 10 deaths have taken place there this year. By comparison, the second highest number of migrants died in the Horn of Africa where fewer than one in 10 deaths occurred. Of those migrants who die in the Mediterranean, the vast majority of them began their journey in Sub-Saharan Africa. Most dangerous routes Within the Mediterranean, the Central migration route from North Africa to Italy and Malta is the deadliest. So far this year, 910 people have been killed as a result of attempting the journey. The 800 potential victims of Sunday's sinking are also likely to join their number. A much smaller number of migrants died travelling along the Mediterranean's other routes - to its east and west and towards Apulia and Calabria, Italy. Last year, a total of 3,279 migrants were killed as a result of their journey across the sea to Europe. Again, by far the majority died along the Central Mediterranean route. Death rate Some 912 out of 954 of this year's deaths have been on routes towards Italy, as of 17 April. The IOM estimates that 21,191 migrants have reached the Italian coasts alive during the same period. This makes the rate of death en route to Italy so far this year 4.13 per 100 people. By comparison, some 26,644 migrants had made it alive to Italy by 30 April last year - an increase of 5,000 more than this year - according to data provided by the Italian Ministry of Interior. Who are the victims? Looking back to 2014 as a whole, the African nations with the most migrants reaching Italy were Eritrea, Mali and Nigeria.

            "input": "By Dr Faye KirklandBBC News The British Medical Association said routine monitoring of long-term conditions could stop, so GPs could \"focus on the sickest patients\". There are also concerns about assessing patients, and supplies of protective equipment like gloves and masks. NHS England said protective kits would be delivered to GPs this week. Dr Richard Vautrey, chair of the BMA's GPs committee, warned patients with mild health complaints should expect to wait longer to see their GP. \"We do expect cases to rise rapidly and over the coming weeks,\" he told the BBC. \"We will need to stop doing much of the routine work that we do week-by-week to enable us to focus on the sickest patients and prioritise those who most need us. \"Practices that are routinely doing routine health checks, assessing blood pressure, diabetic control, and long term problems with heart and lung disease. Those routine checks will need to stop.\" He added: \"We'll need to prioritise not only those with potential Covid infections, but also the sickest patients who will need to continue to receive our direct care. It does mean that some patients may have to wait longer than normal to see their GP. \"It's likely to continue for at least a few weeks, if not months. And it's quite possible that there will be more than one wave of infection.\" At the moment, there is guidance around testing patients who have been to a high-risk country in the past 14 days or have been in close contact with someone with coronavirus. However there are concerns around patients who report a fever, cough and shortness of breath - the main coronavirus symptoms - but do not meet those criteria. GPs said they were having to make difficult decisions about where to see patients, if they could not be managed on the phone, and there was a lack of guidance about what to do for them. Some described measures such as seeing patients in a designated room or at the end of surgery. Others said they were wearing \"catering aprons\", due to a lack of equipment. 'No online booking' Doctors also said they had contacted Public Health England (PHE) to find out more details of local diagnoses, but were unable to find out any more information than was already published online. Two GPs, Dr Jane Wheatley and Dr Shivangi Thakore, both GPs in Islington, London, said they were only aware of a diagnosed case of Covid-19 in a parent of a local school in London when told by other patients. The NHS 111 service had then asked a child at the school to come to the GP with symptoms of a cough and fever after a telephone triage. It took three calls to Public Health England to decide what to do - and the child was eventually managed over the phone. The GPs told the BBC: \"We have struggled with deciphering and managing the seemingly conflicting information given by PHE and 111. \"It has incurred a heavy time cost, restricting our ability to practise; several GPs have had to dedicate time to strategic planning and lengthy phone calls to PHE, NHS 111, as well as local infectious diseases specialists.\" Prof Martin Marshall, chair of the RCGP, said it was important that everyone in the NHS had \"clear, concise guidance\". \"GPs will increasingly be on the front line of dealing with Covid-19 - and we're already hearing from members that they are seeing more patients who are concerned about the outbreak and what steps they should take to protect themselves and their families.\" He welcomed advice issued by the NHS to GPs last week, including the suggestion patients should no longer be able to book appointments online without being spoken to first. But he added: \"We are aware that there is some confusion around triage and the appropriate steps that GPs and their teams should take, particularly for patients who don't fit all current criteria for Covid-19. \"We are also aware of some concerns around community testing and the information on cases being made available to GPs. We are feeding this information back to NHSE and PHE.\" An NHS spokeswoman said hundreds of protective kits would be sent out to GPs from this week. These will include general use aprons, examination gloves and fluid repellent face masks. Larger surgeries will receive repeat deliveries to ensure they have sufficient amounts. \"Almost all practices have no received protective equipment. As the supplies are used, more will be delivered,\" Mr Vautrey told the BBC. A NHS spokeswoman added: \"Anyone with concerns about coronavirus can use the NHS 111 online service, and while the 111 phone line is understandably busy, and people may have to wait longer than usual, all enquiries are being responded to, thanks to hard-working NHS staff.\"",

But I am beginning to wonder what this extraordinary plebiscite will do for our democracy in the longer term. Once the votes have all been counted, what impact will the referendum have on our respect and enthusiasm for the political process? You may be surprised to know that I think it might prove a good thing. But, then again, it could be a disaster. Faith in politicians has never been high, and pollsters report that these days only one in five of us trusts MPs to tell the truth. This figure is unlikely to have been improved by a campaign that has seen senior political figures on both sides of the debate shamelessly throw mud and dubious claims around with abandon. The BBC's Reality Check and other fact-checking organisations can help people navigate their way through some of the arguments, but their conclusions are hardly going to restore confidence in the quality of our political discourse. The UK Statistics Authority, which acts as a referee to stop politicians abusing official data, has had to intervene already. Voters tell me again and again that they just want the facts. But the referendum has demonstrated that such things are elusive and rare. However reliable, every \"fact\" can be disputed or dismissed, its source questioned or rubbished.

The UK's EU referendum: All you need to know EU referendum issues guide In this referendum, some of our most respected institutions have found themselves accused of being self-serving or biased, prepared to twist the truth to serve their purpose. Broadcasters are used to such allegations, often from both sides of an argument simultaneously. But the Bank of England? The Institute of Fiscal Studies? These are organisations that trade on their respected objective analysis, and it must be discombobulating to find their reputations blithely trashed on the evening news or their careful arithmetic given a D-minus in a newspaper column. What will the effect of this be after the referendum? Well, it might mean we find the truth even more elusive than it is now. If we trust no-one, what hope is there for a coherent debate about anything? Issue of trust It would be a tragedy if one consequence of the EU referendum campaign was to create a country where official statistics and established institutions were trusted less than the saloon-bar bore. Or it could be that we start having a more sophisticated discussion about the nature of evidence. We may be made to think harder about the assumptions we make, the numbers we use, the conclusions we draw. And organisations that offer intelligence on such matters may be obliged to be more transparent about their methodologies and more honest about their shortcomings. Many voters are loyal to a particular party, a political tribe they rely upon to do the policy heavy-lifting and they trust to champion their cause. But the EU referendum has left them, as one undecided Tory told me in Worcestershire, all at sea. With divisions in both Conservative and Labour parties, the debate has wandered off familiar political tribal paths and into the dark jungle. If people care about the question at the centre of this referendum, and most say they do, they have to do their own homework, test the arguments themselves and make up their own mind. It may be irritating, but I do wonder whether this is actually a force for good. Blind allegiance to political parties can result in passivity and cynicism - toxic elements in the democratic process. Passionate arguments from head and heart have been ignited by this referendum, inside political parties and often inside individual voters. And that must be positive. Politicians tell me how amazed they have been by the crowds that have turned up for referendum debates. People are thirsty for information and understanding. A couple of weeks after a discussion for a BBC News report on the referendum, I met up again with some of our jury of undecided voters in Lichfield, Staffordshire. They all confessed to having scoured the internet for facts and figures after the first programme, and I am sure they are far from alone. Voters want simple answers - but real life is complex, and the referendum is making the electorate recognise that. Both options carry risks. The immigration debate has been crude and poorly informed for many years. But in the past few weeks, the discussion has begun to focus on the trade-offs involved, to engage with the complexity. It feels like a much more grown-up conversation than it was. The same is true of debates about international trade, workers' rights, human rights, security and, of course, the power and propriety of the European Union itself. Our national discourse is getting down into detail we normally skate over. That must be a good thing too. The question that sits at the very heart of the referendum is also one we don't talk about enough - what kind of country do we want to be? It is a topic that can feel irrelevant or whimsical. But right now it feels fundamental. We know that there is deep disillusion with big party politics, the so-called Westminster elite accused of disregarding the concerns of ordinary people. It is a phenomenon replicated in many other developed Western democracies. The standing of traditional political structures is so low that in some countries tub-thumping populists can get away with making up the facts as they go along while dismissing unhelpful evidence as part of an intellectual plot. During this EU referendum campaign, some voices have got pretty close to doing the same. So the big question for our democracy and the quality of our governance is whether the referendum has further damaged respect for politics and politicians or encouraged a new wave of political engagement and understanding of complexity. One might argue that that question is just as important for the future of the UK as the EU referendum itself.",

And across the ad hoc barrier, fencing off an invisible threat, he passes a simple object to his sister stuck on the other side: a facemask. Pharmacies in the town of 16,000 people are running low. Queues of anxious customers are forming, as Codogno hits headlines around the world. The mayor, Francesco Passerini, tells me by phone that the situation is completely calm and supplies of food and medicine are stable. \"Our town has overcome everything, including the Second World War,\" he says - an attempt at reassurance. But in the 11 closed-off towns, in which more than 50,000 people are quarantined, fear is setting in. Andrea Alloni, a resident in Codogno, says while some are convincing themselves that the outbreak will blow over, others are so worried that they're using sleeping pills. Emergency medical phone-lines are saturated. The elderly are feeling particularly vulnerable. And while a handful of shops are open inside the town, the streets are quiet. Most are staying at home - or if they venture outside, they do so in face masks. Italy is struggling to understand how it went from six coronavirus cases to more than 200 since last Friday, becoming Europe's worst-affected country and the third worst hit in the world after China and South Korea. So far, seven people have died. \"Patient zero\" - the individual first infected - has still not been identified. It was initially believed to be a 38-year-old man who visited a hospital in Codogno where a woman later died from the virus and whose colleague had been in China in January. But when his colleague tested negative, the search for the original infector continued. Finding the source of the outbreak would help authorities understand the spread and potentially stem it. Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte has defended his government's response, insisting that the high number here is because Italy is testing more people than other European countries. There is a hope that the outbreak has stabilised, with new cases slowing. But the authorities here are worried. With the unprecedented containment measures widening, the economic impact could be severe. Public spaces have been cordoned off, schools, universities and museums are closed, key events like the Venice Carnival and Milan fashion week have been curbed, even filming of the new Mission Impossible in Venice has been suspended. Lombardy and Veneto - the two most affected regions - make up 30% of the Italian economy. Italy's growth is already estimated at just 0.1% for 2019 - the lowest in the eurozone. The talk now is that the impact of the virus could tip it into recession. Neighbouring Croatia and Greece have cancelled all school visits to Italy. Kuwait has stopped flights here. Italy itself was the first European country to halt flights to and from China when the outbreak began: a risk for an economy that depends on some five million Chinese tourists a year. In an era of social media, rumours and scaremongering fly fast. It's too early to talk of panic here. But some supermarkets are seeing empty shelves, as families stock up. Bars and restaurants are closing this week - the old town of Piacenza was eerily quiet for a weekday evening. The far-right opposition is harnessing the situation to push its call for closed borders. \"We're confident our public health system can face this if it's a few hundred cases,\" says Andrea Alloni by phone from Codogno. \"But if the number spikes, it won't be able to cope. I pray to God this doesn't happen.\"",

Police are investigating claims that a group of prominent men in public life sexually and physically abused children in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Mr Proctor, who has denied any part in abuse, said the interview on Thursday took place at his request. He also challenged police to speed up their investigation. 'Dire consequences' Mr Proctor told the BBC he offered himself for interview when his home was raided in March, and said Scotland Yard had cancelled planned meetings twice. \"I have not been arrested, I am not on police bail, I was free to go at any time during the six hours of the interview,\" he said. \"My solicitors had warned the police of the dire consequences for the police if they did not go through with this interview.\" Mr Proctor was interviewed at a police station in the Grantham area by detectives working on the Metropolitan Police's Operation Midland. The investigation began after a man in his 40s made a series of allegations last year. The alleged victim has told the BBC he was abused by senior political, military and \"law enforcement\" figures, and has also said children were abused at Army facilities in southern England. It is claimed that three children were murdered at different London locations. In March, Mr Proctor denied any involvement in child abuse - some of which is alleged to have taken place at the Dolphin Square apartment complex in Pimlico, London. He said: \"I have never attended sex parties at Dolphin Square or anywhere else. \"I have not been part of any rent boy ring with cabinet ministers, other members of Parliament or generals or the military. \"I conducted my private life in a discreet manner.\" Profile Harvey Proctor was born in Pontefract, West Yorkshire, and served as a Conservative MP from 1979 to 1987, representing the Essex constituencies of Basildon and then Billericay. In 1987, he was fined after pleading guilty to gross indecency over sexual activity with men under the age of 21 - then the legal age of consent for gay men. He said he believed the men were above the age of consent. The men were above the current age of consent, which is 16. The following year he opened two shops selling luxury shirts, with financial support from some former colleagues. In 2000, Mr Proctor's stores were forced into liquidation after legal action by Customs and Excise over an unpaid VAT bill. From 2003 until March 2015, he was private secretary to the Duke of Rutland at Belvoir Castle, a 16,000-acre site of farmland and woodland in Leicestershire.",

In some cases, it is falling most heavily on mothers. In a May survey of parents in the US, UK, France, Germany and Italy by the Boston Consulting Group, families reported an additional 27 hours spent each week on household chores, childcare and education - nearly the equivalent of a second job. But women spend 15 hours more than men on this added domestic labour, reflecting pre-pandemic norms. Similar findings have been reflected in a number of other studies. We spoke to three mothers from around the country who told us how they are handling the added strain, and how they feel looking forward with a return to normalcy in the US still months away. Katy Schultz Katy and her daughter, Londyn, 7, live in rural Wisconsin. Katy and her two siblings own Tri-Fecta farms, a 400-cow dairy farm just outside of Fox Lake. On bringing kindergarten to the farm Londyn was going to a full-time kindergarten, which shut down in March. It was supposed to be temporary, but by the beginning of April we all had the gut feeling that there was no way that they could be going back. And so from then on out, we just shifted. So for me, Londyn just became my assistant on the farm, and she has been incredible. And the farm offers an opportunity for her too. It sounds so ridiculous but we're practising numbers. She's reading ear tags to me as we're checking cows, we're doing math problems while we're in the pen. Like: 'I have this many cows in the pen, and I can only have this many, how many do I have to take out?' It is definitely not your traditional kindergarten curriculum by any stretch of the imagination. On adjusting her business It's been a rollercoaster to put it nicely. When everything first hit and the restaurant industry side of things and the hospitality side of things shut down - our markets came to a screeching halt. We saw how much of our market here is really taken up by the education system, by the hospitality industry, by the restaurant industry. There was just a rude awakening. Before the pandemic, we had a kitchen table discussion about doing on-farm beef sales. And so we expedited that, and by the end of April, beginning of May we were open for business, selling. On staying grounded Every morning I read devotions, I read my bible. I need to start out my day having a level head and just being grounded, and knowing that I don't need to take care of everything. I don't hide my emotions. I let my child see when I'm sad or when I'm happy or when I'm upset or when I'm frustrated so that she knows that it's OK to have those feelings and it's OK to work through them. But I also have to know that she's watching me and how I react to that. How do I work through those feelings? Do I throw a fit or do I say a prayer? A simple choice like that can teach her how to deal with emotions. It's giving yourself that allowance that it's OK to have a bad day. It might be a bad day, it might be a bad hour, but this isn't a bad life. Octavia Reese Octavia, 37, is an artist, master's student and a single working mom.

On working through chaos I train everyone in the surgical department, anaesthesia, radiology and population health in our healthcare record software. Teaching completely from home has been really tough, especially having all three of my boys home. It has been nothing short of chaotic. They're traditional siblings: running, tattling and the occasional screams and then, you know, you find out nothing really happened. But all of that going on in the periphery while I'm trying to do my job is really, really difficult. And I have been irritable with them - because it's hard. And I'm asking them to do a very adult thing. I have to keep repeating: \"I am training a class right now. I need you to be silent, do not interrupt unless it's an actual emergency and somebody is bleeding\". But my kids are really, really well behaved and cooperative in that way.

I sleep when I'm tired, if I have space to do that, and then I just keep going. I have no doubt that's going to catch up with me at some point but for now I just have to keep going. I try not to plan too far ahead because everything is shifting. It's got to be temporary. I've been through so many uncomfortable seasons in my life that the only thing I know is that everything eventually ends. So I just keep focused on what's in front of me right now.

Six people, including three children, were killed in the blaze in July 2009. Jade Spence, in whose flat the fire started, recalled seeing \"thick black smoke\" and a part of her room on fire. Fire crews were at the scene within three minutes of receiving the first call and followed procedure to get crews deployed, the inquest heard. Previously jurors have heard how faulty electrical equipment started the fire in flat number 65 on the ninth floor of the 14 storey block. It spread to other flats including number 79, where victim Catherine Hickman, 31, lived and flat 81, where victims Helen Udoaka, 34, and her baby daughter Michelle had gathered with Dayana Francisquini, 26, and her children six-year-old Thais, and Filipe, three. 'Don't feel guilty' Miss Spence, who lived with her partner and her two children, told the inquest that she was in the flat with her partner's baby on the day. Minutes after she left her bedroom on the lower level and went upstairs, the smoke alarm went off and she saw \"thick black smoke\" coming from downstairs. She ran to her room downstairs and saw the corner of the room was ablaze. She tried to call her partner but after failing to reach her she immediately called the fire brigade. Miss Spence said she took the baby and followed the fire exit signs along the balcony to make her way out of the building. After her evidence a spokesperson on behalf of Rafael Cervi and Mbet Udoaka, both of whom lost their wives and children, told Miss Spence \"not to feel guilty\" because the fire \"could have happened anywhere\". The inquest then heard from Mr Willett who was the senior-most officer to reach the scene first. Mr Willett, who had been based in Peckham since 2006, told the coroner's counsel James Maxwell-Scott that he had not been on a \"familiarisation visit\" to Lakanal House, but had been there previously to attend to burst pipes and flooding. During questioning the officer acknowledged that he was \"unfamiliar\" with the building, the numbering system of the flats and individual escape routes from the flats, including the fire exit signs along balconies. The officer said firefighters knew immediately that Catherine Hickman was trapped in flat 79 but those on the ground had no information on how to get to it or from it safely. Previously the inquest heard that Miss Hickman gave a detailed account of the fire spreading in the flat to a 999 operator before falling unconscious. The inquest continues.",

            "input": "By Laurence PeterBBC News The priority is to have a new text, but contestants will also be free to compose a new tune, project leader Lukas Niederberger told BBC News. The current text dates back to 1841 and includes references to God, prayer, mountains and sunshine. The new text is to include values enshrined in the Swiss constitution, such as democracy and solidarity. The competition will run from January to the end of June 2014, with the top prize - SFr10,000 (£7,080; $10,745) - to be awarded in 2015. The runners-up will get SFr5,000, SFr3,000 and SFr1,000. The competition is open to Swiss nationals and foreigners living in Switzerland. The winning anthem will be presented to the government - the Federal Council - for approval. 'Problem is text' The judging panel has just been selected. It has 25 members from various areas of national life, including football, the Olympics, music, literature and yodelling. There are four jury presidents - Christine Beerli, Patrizia Pesenti, Pierre Kohler and Oscar Knapp - representing respectively the four official languages spoken in the federation: German, Italian, French and Romansch. The current anthem is called the Swiss Psalm. In 1981 it replaced Rufst du mein Vaterland (When you call, my Fatherland), which was set to the same tune as the British national anthem - God Save The Queen. \"The real problem is above all the text,\" Mr Niederberger said. He is in the Swiss Society for Public Utility (SGG), the competition organiser. The SGG, founded in 1810, seeks to promote Swiss values and has previously launched social and cultural initiatives. \"Officially the anthem is a psalm, a prayer, but of course we have an open society, religiously neutral. We have atheists, no single god, so this anthem is a difficulty,\" he explained by phone. Since the 1970s pressure for a new anthem has gained momentum, but previously the calls came from individuals or small groups, Mr Niederberger said. \"Many people are conservative and the anthem is emotional, but if a composer creates a super song, then we can change the tune too. But that's a bit difficult for conservative people, so we say the contestants don't have to change the music,\" he said. The SGG says the preamble to the Swiss constitution \"forms the textual basis for the new national anthem\". It speaks of the Swiss people's \"striving... to strengthen their freedom and democracy, independence and peace in solidarity and openness to the world\". It also speaks of \"living together in mutual consideration and respect for differences\". In 2011 Switzerland's Alpine neighbour Austria decided to change the wording of its national anthem to recognise its \"great daughters\" alongside its \"great sons\".",

Gates told the court on Monday that Mr Manafort ordered him to commit fraud. This is the first criminal trial to come from the Department of Justice-led inquiry into alleged Russian meddling. Mr Manafort, 69, has pleaded not guilty to bank fraud and tax fraud. Gates, 46, struck a plea deal with prosecutors in February, admitting two charges of conspiracy and lying to the FBI. The case arises from the pair's consultancy work for Russian-backed Ukrainian politicians. Sex, lies and taxes Mr Manafort's legal team sought to undercut Gates' credibility on Tuesday, day six of the trial. Defence attorney Kevin Downing asked about the witness's co-operation with special counsel Robert Mueller, who is leading the Russia probe. \"After all the lies you told you expect this jury to believe you?\" Mr Downing asked Gates. \"I'm here to tell the truth,\" the witness replied. \"Mr Manafort had the same path. I'm here.\" The defence lawyer pointed out Gates had lied to investigators before entering his guilty plea. \"Have they confronted you with so many lies that you can't remember?\" Mr Downing added. The defence lawyer also pressed Gates on his adultery. \"There was another Richard Gates, isn't that right?\" Mr Downing asked. \"A secret Richard Gates?\" The witness responded that he had had an extramarital affair over 10 years ago. Gates acknowledged keeping a flat in London for two months during those trysts, and listing luxury hotels as a business expense. He also said he had possibly submitted personal expenses to President Donald Trump's inaugural committee for his work on the election campaign. And he conceded he had penned a fraudulent letter to prospective investors for a movie project. One text exchange drew laughter from the court when a message was read out revealing Mr Manafort's dismay at his high tax rate. Beginning with an expletive, he wrote: \"You told me you were on top of this... This is a disaster.\" What's the background? The two former business partners were indicted last October for hiding millions of dollars they made lobbying for Russian-backed Ukrainian politicians. The charges relating to the pair's political consulting largely predate the Trump 2016 election campaign they worked on together. Gates told the Alexandria, Virginia, court on Monday he was helping prosecutors in the hope of leniency. Gates still faces up to six years in prison under the terms of his plea deal. He has avoided all eye contact with Mr Manafort in his two days of testimony, according to reporters in court. Key background 'There's tears in your eyes' Tensions are running high in the courtroom, and not just on the witness stand. On Monday the judge accused the prosecutor of getting weepy as the pair argued, according to a court transcript. The dispute began as Judge TS Ellis told Greg Andres his line of questioning was not relevant. \"Look at me when you're talking to me,\" the judge reprimanded Mr Andres, out of earshot of the jury. The prosecutor protested that he did not \"want to get in trouble for some facial expression\". Judge Ellis said: \"There's tears in your eyes right now.\" Mr Andres denied it. \"Well, they're watery,\" Judge Ellis said. \"Look, I want you to focus sharply on what you need to prove - to prove the crime. \"And I don't understand what a lot of these questions have to do with it.\"",

Five years ago, Una was diagnosed with terminal ovarian cancer. \"I was originally misdiagnosed,\" she says, \"My GP told me I had irritable bowel syndrome. \"By the time I went back to a doctor two months later, I had swollen so much that I looked like I was heavily pregnant with twins. \"The tumour was 13 inches, and had spread to my pelvis.\" She added: \"I could feel it sticking into my bones. Nothing could be done. Then I decided to spread awareness about the signs of ovarian cancer.\" Last year, 160 women in Northern Ireland were diagnosed with the disease. Una, a 60-year-old grandmother, is determined to help every woman in Northern Ireland by highlighting what she says is a low profile condition. Impact \"It's too late for me. I'm terminally ill. But this is a cancer that can be treated, if the signs are caught in time. \"I didn't drink or smoke. I walked six miles a day. If I can get ovarian cancer, it can happen to any woman out there.\" To raise awareness about the disease, Una took to Facebook and Twitter. She currently has more than 2,000 Twitter followers and has brought her campaign to a huge audience. She said: \"It's a way to reach people all over the world. The impact is amazing.\" Despite undergoing four intensive sessions of chemotherapy, she has also spent the past five years trying to persuade the Northern Ireland Assembly to launch an ovarian cancer awareness campaign. The mother-of-five, with six grandchildren, succeeded in hosting the first awareness event at Stormont and persuaded Belfast City Council to light up City Hall in teal, the colour used by ovarian cancer campaigners, on Wednesday. Therapeutic Four other women living near Una were eventually diagnosed at the same time as her. All had been misdiagnosed initially. All have since died. \"Women are dying needlessly,\" she said. Una believes her campaign has been therapeutic for her. \"I have turned a negative into a positive. When you have a disease, people will listen to you more than they will to a doctor reading out a lot of statistics. \"They relate to you as a person. They think, 'that could happen to my wife, or my mother, or my sister, or my daughter'.\" At the moment, Una is not feeling very well, but she is a woman on a mission. Hopeful \"I only finished chemotherapy in December and I have pain over the liver again, so I didn't get much of a break,\" she said. \"They might not be able to offer me any more treatment. There have not been any new drugs to treat ovarian cancer for 20 years.\" Una's youngest son is 18 and he is about to start his A-levels. \"I try to be hopeful and strong. My life span was given as three to five years, and I am into five years now. I feel I am flagging a bit,\" she said. However, this will not stop her from taking part in setting up a cancer awareness campaign for the autumn, involving all the cancer charities and the Public Health Agency (PHA). Una is also delighted about another development. \"Six weeks ago, every GP in Northern Ireland got an Ovarian Pathway. \"That means if a woman presents with any of the signs, doctors have to follow specific procedures. \"It means the doctors will have to take it more seriously.

The company has previously admitted to paying a group of hackers a $100,000 (£75,000) ransom to delete the data they had stolen. Mr Sullivan was fired in 2017 when the data breach was revealed. The charges filed by the US Department of Justice said Mr Sullivan had taken \"deliberate steps\" to stop the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) from finding out about the hack. He is accused of approving the $100,000 payment to the hackers, which was made in bitcoin. The payment was disguised as a \"bug bounty\" reward, used to pay cyber-security researchers who disclose vulnerabilities so they can be fixed. The charges allege that he asked the hackers to sign non-disclosure agreements, falsely stating they had not stolen any Uber data. \"Silicon Valley is not the Wild West,\" said US lawyer David Anderson. \"We expect good corporate citizenship. We expect prompt reporting of criminal conduct. We expect co-operation with our investigations. We will not tolerate corporate cover-ups.\" A spokesman for Mr Sullivan said he denied the charges. \"If not for Mr Sullivan's and his team's efforts, it's likely that the individuals responsible for this incident never would have been identified at all,\" said spokesman Brad Williams. Mr Sullivan currently works as chief information security officer at cyber-security firm Cloudflare. Uber chief executive Dara Khosrowshahi disclosed the data breach in 2017. The company eventually paid $148m to settle legal claims by all 50 US states and Washington DC. Analysis By Joe Tidy, Cyber Reporter When is a breach a breach? This could be the key question facing the court in this case which will be watched closely by hackers and security experts around the world. Mr Sullivan says he did nothing wrong and was simply rewarding the hackers a \"bug bounty\" for discovering a security flaw in Uber's system. Many large companies have open bug bounty schemes that invite hackers - under strict conditions - to test their computer systems for flaws. If they find one, they get paid and the company can fix it without needing to alert the authorities. But these hackers did not approach Uber as part of a scheme. They broke into the systems anonymously, stole data and held the company to ransom. Effectively, Mr Sullivan is being accused of turning a serious hack into a routine bug bounty, which was therefore not worth notifying the authorities or his company about. The fact that the hackers themselves have already pleaded guilty to the cyber-attack may not help Mr Sullivan's case.",

From next April, a new regulator - the Office for Students - will have the power to fine universities that fail to uphold free speech. Universities UK has said it will not allow legitimate debate to be stifled. In his speech, Mr Johnson said: \"In universities in America and worryingly in the UK, we have seen examples of groups seeking to stifle those who do not agree with them. \"We must not allow this to happen. Young people should have the resilience and confidence to challenge controversial opinions and take part in open, frank and rigorous discussions.\" What are 'no-platforming' and 'safe space' policies? \"No-platforming\" is the practice of banning certain groups from taking part in a debate if their views are considered to be offensive or unacceptable. \"Safe space\" policies are intended to protect students from views and language they find offensive, including discrimination. In 2016, nearly two-thirds of university students believed the National Union of Students was right to have a \"no-platform\" policy. That approach means people or groups on a banned list for holding racist or fascist views are not given a platform to speak on student union premises. The NUS official no-platform list contains six groups including the BNP and Al-Muhajiroun, but individual unions and student groups can decide their own. At Canterbury Christ Church University, an NUS representative refused to share a platform with LGBT activist Peter Tatchell, whom she regarded as having been racist and \"transphobic\". Mr Johnson was speaking at the Limmud Festival, which celebrates Jewish learning and culture. In his speech, Mr Johnson said that the Office for Students will ensure universities promote \"freedom of speech within the law\". Proposals for the new body, which are open for consultation, could see universities being fined, suspended or deregistered, if they do not protect free speech within the law. Universities UK chief executive Alistair Jarvis said: \"There is already a legal duty on the higher education sector to secure free speech within the law and universities take these responsibilities very seriously.\" He added that institutions also had a duty of care to the \"safety of students and staff\". Sir Anthony Seldon, the vice-chancellor of the University of Buckingham, agrees with Mr Johnson's plan, saying it is a \"duty\" of universities to \"open up dialogue\". But he says it is \"degrading\" that the minister has had to step in. \"The universities themselves autonomously didn't get their eggs in order, so the universities minister is having to tell us what to do,\" he told the BBC News Channel. \"I think that really is quite a shame for us, and almost rather degrading that we're in that position.\" Mr Johnson's speech comes as one of the UK's oldest universities has been criticised by academics for a project on the ethics of the British Empire. Up to 60 Oxford University academics have signed a letter in opposition to \"the agenda\" of the project. The programme is led by Prof Nigel Biggar, who claimed in a recent article in The Times, there are aspects of empire Britain can be proud of. A university spokesperson said \"arguments and differing approaches\" are to be expected, and defended Prof Biggar as an \"entirely suitable\" person to lead the \"valid evidence-led academic\" project.",

Sky, Everything Everywhere, TalkTalk, O2 and Virgin Media must all prevent their users from accessing the site. \"Sites like The Pirate Bay destroy jobs in the UK and undermine investment in new British artists,\" the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) said. A sixth ISP, BT, requested \"a few more weeks\" to consider their position on blocking the site. BPI's chief executive Geoff Taylor said: \"The High Court has confirmed that The Pirate Bay infringes copyright on a massive scale. \"Its operators line their pockets by commercially exploiting music and other creative works without paying a penny to the people who created them. \"This is wrong - musicians, sound engineers and video editors deserve to be paid for their work just like everyone else.\" 'Compelling alternatives' In November 2011, the BPI asked the group of ISPs to voluntarily block access to the site. The request followed a court order to block Newzbin 2, a site also offering links to download pirated material. The ISPs said they would not block the site unless a court order was made, as is now the case. Virgin Media told the BBC it will now comply with the request, but warned such measures are, in the long term, only part of the solution. \"As a responsible ISP, Virgin Media complies with court orders addressed to the company but strongly believes that changing consumer behaviour to tackle copyright infringement also needs compelling legal alternatives, such as our agreement with Spotify, to give consumers access to great content at the right price.\" The Pirate Bay was launched in 2003 by a group of friends from Sweden and rapidly became one of the most famous file-sharing sites on the web. It allows users to search for and access copyrighted content including movies, games and TV shows. No 'extra pennies' In April 2009, the Swedish courts found the four founders of the site guilty of helping people circumvent copyright controls. The ruling was upheld after an appeal in 2010, but the site continues to function. The Pirate Party UK, a spin-off from the political movement started in Sweden that backs copyright reform, said this latest move will \"not put any extra pennies into the pockets of artists\". \"Unfortunately, the move to order blocking on The Pirate Bay comes as no surprise,\" party leader Loz Kaye told the BBC. \"The truth is that we are on a slippery slope towards internet censorship here in the United Kingdom.\" 'Pointless and dangerous' Critics of site-blocking argue that such measures are ineffective as they can be circumvented using proxy servers and other techniques. However, one analyst told the BBC that it was still worthwhile to take court action as it underlines the illegal nature of sites such as The Pirate Bay. \"I know it's fashionable to say 'oh, it just won't work', but we should keep trying,\" said Mark Little, principal analyst at Ovum. \"We should keep blocking them - they are stealing music illegally. \"The biggest culprits of this, really, are the younger demographic who just haven't been convinced that doing this is somehow morally uncomfortable. \"The principle that downloading music illegally is a bad thing to do has not been reinforced by schools or parents.\" But Jim Killock, executive director of the Open Rights Group, called the move \"pointless and dangerous\". \"It will fuel calls for further, wider and even more drastic calls for internet censorship of many kinds, from pornography to extremism,\" he said. \"Internet censorship is growing in scope and becoming easier.

There were concerns that if they had lost another juror the case would have collapsed. That is what happened with another mammoth fraud case at the Old Bailey in London in 2005. The London Underground Jubilee Line case heard evidence for about 140 days over a 21-month period before one juror \"went on strike\". The court had already lost two jurors when one became pregnant and another was arrested for benefit fraud. After missing work for almost two years one juror became aware that he owed thousands in pension contributions, which his employer had not been liable for while he was on the jury. He refused to take part in the jury until his financial situation was sorted out, claiming loss of earnings threatened his ability to pay Oxford university fees for a course he was due to start. The Attorney General in England at the time, Lord Goldsmith, brought forward legislation to allow complex fraud trials to be held without juries. It was defeated in the Lords two years later with peers arguing that trial by jury was a bedrock of the criminal justice system. The UK government had said major trials put too much pressure on jurors. \"The use of a jury is a bulwark of not just Scottish justice but British justice and I would say there should be a presumption that the jury system continues,\" Douglas Mill, former chief executive of the Law Society of Scotland, told the BBC. But Mr Mill added that fraud was now so \"specialised\" that the police, the Crown office prosecutors and defence lawyers all had experts who dealt only with such cases. He said the only people who were not specialists were the jury. \"It is left to 15 very lay people who are being asked to assimilate vast numbers of documents over an endless number of days,\" he said. \"Is that in the interests of justice? Big question.\" Law lecturer Andrew Tickell also said fraud cases were complex and difficult to follow. In the case of Edwin McLaren, the indictment carried 29 separate charges and it was the Crown's job to prove every one. This required a large number of witnesses and mountains of documents. The Glasgow Caledonian University law lecturer said: \"If the Crown is going to bring forward a mega case then it really has to bring forward quite substantial evidence to buttress that claim. \"Juries have to decide on the guilt in the cases and so have to sit through many months of evidence. That has real challenges for them and challenges for the justice system as a whole. \"Certainly in terms of very serious cases involving complicated financial concepts and instruments that the ordinary person might not be familiar with then you might well ask 'is it right for 15 ordinary members of the public to spend a year of their life trying to get on top of these questions?' \"Is this most cost effective, and effective generally, way of delivering justice in these cases?\" Mr Tickell put forward the alternative of an expert bench of judges who know the area and are able to identify fraud when they see it. But he said: \"On the other hand, some people would say having a jury of your peers deciding your fate in the most serious of cases, with massive prison sentences at the end of the line if you are convicted, that's a matter of principle. \"We apply that in murder cases, in very serious fraud cases some people would argue we should maintain that safeguard as well.\" He added: \"I would imagine the Scottish government and a range of politicians may look at this case and say 'is this value for money'? \"Is it the best way to deliver justice? I'm not sure on either of those two tests we are delivering that in Scotland today.\"",

            "input": "By Andrew WalkerBBC World Service economics correspondent That has further stimulated a debate about whether Berlin should open the financial taps and spend more. Should Germany launch a programme of spending on, for example, its infrastructure? Should the government ditch the policy of balancing the budget, known as \"the black zero\" and the related legal restriction on borrowing called the \"debt brake\"? We had some clues about the impact of Germany's downturn with eurozone economic growth figures that showed growth of 0.2% in the third quarter of the year. That is sluggish though slightly better than many economists were expecting. We will have to wait two weeks for a read-out on Germany's own performance in the same period. The eurozone as a whole might not be in recession, but inevitably the downturn in Germany affects the country's neighbours. The question is what should policymakers - especially the German government and the European Central Bank (ECB) - do about the situation. The ECB has already taken steps. It has cut its interest rates to ultra-low levels (to below zero for one of its key rates) and it is about to re-start the policy known as quantitative easing, buying financial assets with newly-created money But there are real doubts about how effective these measures will be. Many economists believe that monetary policy - what central banks do - has done about as much as it can in the eurozone. Many argue that governments should do more. The current president of the ECB Mario Draghi and his successor Christine Lagarde, who takes over this week, have both taken that view. In September, Ms Lagarde told the European Parliament: \"Some countries in the euro area can use some of their fiscal space [government spending and taxation] in order to improve broadband infrastructure and set in place the public spending that will help fight the recession.\" She didn't name the countries that could afford to take such action, but she did say it was now true of a majority of them. The most obvious example is Germany which has had a surplus in its public finances - with tax revenue higher than spending - since 2012. Global Trade More from the BBC's series taking an international perspective on trade: The IMF's chief economist, Gita Gopinath, was explicit on this point in the foreword to the IMF's recent World Economic Outlook. \"A country like Germany should take advantage of negative borrowing rates to invest in social and infrastructure capital,\" she wrote. Her reference to negative borrowing rates refers to the fact that Germany, and a number of other countries, can borrow at an interest rate of less than zero. In effect, the financial markets pay them to borrow. Prof Peter Bofinger of Würzburg University, and a former member of Germany's economics experts council, agrees with Ms Gopinath that the country should take advantage of the these below-zero borrowing costs to invest in infrastructure and social housing. Currently he says net infrastructure investment - that is, after the wear and tear on existing infrastructure is factored in - is below zero. The idea that Germany has a problem in this area might come as a bit of a surprise. But Prof Bofinger says he often sees the evidence himself. He describes travelling by train in the country as \"a real adventure - whether the train will arrive, how many minutes and hours they are delayed, whether you get something to eat on the train\". \"Transportation is in extremely bad shape and it is a consequence of insufficient investment for many years.\" He says it is a \"tremendous mistake\" not to use the opportunity presented by those favourable borrowing costs to address some of these problems. Tax cuts for business? He believes the debt brake and black zero policies don't make sense. If every major government followed the black zero policy, \"the world economy would end up in a black hole,\" he says. Currently among the G20 group of leading economies only two others - Russia and South Korea - have government budgets with a surplus. But Prof Bofinger does not favour using the infrastructure programme in the short term as a stimulus for a flagging economy. The construction industry is already working at full capacity. What he favours is more generous tax treatment to encourage business investment, which he says is currently where German economic performance is weak. But there are many defenders of Germany's cautious approach to managing its government finances. Prof Clemens Fuest is the director of one of the country's leading economic research agencies, the IFO institute in Munich. He argues that Germany is not facing a serious downturn - though there might be a technical recession in the sense of two consecutive quarters of declining economic activity. Germany has full employment and does not currently need further stimulus, he argues. There would, however, be a case for allowing the government to increase its borrowing if there were a sharper decline in economic activity. He agrees that the country could benefit from infrastructure improvements but it is nonetheless in better shape than in many other European countries. The problem is not so much lack of money for projects, he says, but delays in implementing them often due to the objections raised by German residents. He argues the debt brake was an appropriate response in 2009, around the time of the global financial crisis, when the government's debt was higher in relation to GDP and it remains a useful restraint.",

A group has been set up to oppose Carmarthenshire council's plans.

The Lammas Street Trader's Group claim charges would have a \"a catastrophic effect\" on their businesses. Short-term parking Launderette owner Susan Anderson said: \"I'm mainly concerned about the pop in customer we rely on in these small shops and businesses. \"If people have to pay just to pop in to get some groceries they are going to go over to the superstores.\" At the moment cars are allowed to park for up to 30 minutes free of charge but then must move on. Ms Anderson said she accepted many stayed longer than allowed but added: \"If this goes ahead they will have to get someone monitoring tickets anyway. \"Why not just have wardens coming up here a bit more often without putting the meters here?\" Carmarthenshire council's executive board member Clive Scourfield said the authority would look at the traders' concerns. But he added: \"My experience coming down here regularly with my wife is I've never been able to find room to park. \"Many cars unfortunately decide to park here for the day.\" He said the aim of the meters was to allow more cars to use the parking facilities and increase the number of people visiting the street. \"Hopefully it will be shown by charging to park here people will only spend half an hour which they would be allowed to.\"",

The ONS also said number of people claiming Jobseeker's Allowance fell by 5,900 to 1.59 million in July. The number of people working part-time because they could not find a full-time job hit a record high. It was up 16,000 in the three months to June to 1.42 million, which was the highest figure since records began in 1992. But analysts pointed out that the overall figures were distorted in the run-up to the Olympics. \"As the ONS have made clear, there's an Olympic Games effect, so the difficulty for the market running up to it was would it be seasonally adjusted out or not, and in the event they haven't,\" said Tom Vosa at National Australia Bank. \"So the expectation will be that this [decrease in unemployment] is short-lived and will pop back up again in maybe August or September.\" 'Good news' In the 16-to-24 age group there were 1.01 million people unemployed, down 4,000 from the three months to March. \"The robustness of these figures is good news,\" said Work and Pensions Secretary Iain Duncan Smith. \"The work we're doing through the youth contract and through the work programme and through work experience should be supported by people like the trade unions and the Labour Party instead of being carped at by them, which is what they do the whole time.\" Shadow work and pensions secretary Liam Byrne said: \"It looks like about 90% of the fall in unemployment has been in London where there has obviously been a boost from the Olympics.\" \"In about half of Britain's regions you've got unemployment going up. I think the government needs to act now to to put a lot more fuel in the tank of its back to work programmes before things get any worse.\" Youth unemployment Trade union umbrella body the TUC has warned the job outlook for the young is its toughest since 1994. In a report ahead of the unemployment figures, it said the proportion of young people in full-time education had risen from 24% in 1992 to 41% this year. \"Students looking to start their careers or continue in their education next month are facing the toughest climate for nearly 20 years,\" said the TUC general secretary Brendan Barber. \"It's particularly worrying that long-term joblessness for young people is still rising, even as overall unemployment falls. If this continues we could lose a generation of talented and highly qualified youngsters to blighted careers, debt and under-achievement.\" A spokesperson for the Department for Work and Pensions said that, despite the falling youth unemployment figures, \"this is still a big challenge and we don't underestimate it for one moment, which is why we are committed to helping young people get the skills and experience they need to get a job\". \"Over the next three years the Youth Contract will offer nearly 500,000 opportunities for young people through work experience, apprenticeships and wage subsidies to help them find work.\" The number of people unemployed for more than two years was 422,000 in the three months to June, down 4,000 from the three months to March. Unemployment fell for the fifth month in a row in Scotland, dropping by 5,000 to 214,000 in the three months to June. Unemployment in Wales fell by 7,000 between April and June to 126,000, while the claimant count fell to 79,600 in July.

            "input": "By Steven McIntoshEntertainment reporter at the Toronto Film Festival The film tells the story of the famous Wimbledon men's final of 1980, and stars Shia LaBeouf and Sverrir Gudnason as McEnroe and Borg respectively. Welsh actor Scott Arthur, who plays McEnroe's tennis partner Peter Fleming in the film, described the pair's duel as the \"perfect rivalry\". \"They were kind of the first rock star tennis players,\" he told BBC News. \"They had a swagger about them. Borg was almost like a Beatle. Everywhere he went, people were obsessed with him. \"Then you had McEnroe, who was more of a hot-headed fiery tennis player, didn't always play by the rules.\" Borg/McEnroe is one of several sports-based films attracting attention this year. I, Tonya - starring Margot Robbie as figure skater Tonya Harding - is hot property at the festival, alongside Battle of the Sexes, which sees Emma Stone portray former tennis world number one Billie Jean King. Scott said: \"Tennis is a sport where there's so much that comes with the way that you go about your game.\" \"Being respectful to your opponent, treating a loss the same as a victory… so to have Borg and McEnroe competing against each other, it was the perfect rivalry really. \"What's amazing is that after their rivalry they became best friends. Borg was the best man at McEnroe's wedding.\" Borg/McEnroe: Press conference Here's what some of the stars said about the film: Scott said preparing for the role involved spending more time in the park and, unfortunately, less time in the pub. \"About six weeks before we started filming, I got a call saying 'You need to make sure that you're training every day, going running and not drinking beer',\" the 28-year-old explained. \"Because if you're playing a tennis player you need to look as lean as possible, so that was probably the hardest part of everything, going running, not drinking beer and making sure I was watching my diet.\" Scott is no debutant, but described Borg/McEnroe as \"the most high profile thing I've done, by far\". \"I did a film called Bridgend, based loosely on the Bridgend suicides [a spate of suicides involving young people in Wales]. \"That got a bit of press, but it's nothing on the scale of Borg/McEnroe, so this is the first real big thing that I've done. \"So to be walking on a red carpet is a childhood dream. I'm trying to just stay on my feet, not get too swept up by it all.\" The film, which is due to be released in the UK on 22 September, is certainly turning heads at Toronto, although its first reviews were mixed. The Guardian awarded it two stars, with Peter Bradshaw writing: \"This tennis film feels like a two-hour baseline rally, and it's not just the rackets that are made of wood.\" Writing in IndieWire, David Ehrlich said: \"If not for LaBeouf, Borg/McEnroe would have nothing to offer that you couldn't get from simply watching a broadcast of the 1980 Wimbledon Men's Final.\" But Scott said he hopes the film will help shed light on the lesser known aspects of the famous tennis rivalry. \"I want audiences to come away having a bit of empathy for them both, to understand how much dedication and hard work it takes to become as brilliant as Borg and McEnroe are,\" he said. \"I want people to leave thinking 'I didn't know about that'. You really see the relationships between Borg and his wife, or John and his Dad, and so you get all of that and I want people to understand how much time they're putting in and how lonely they are.\" Read more: Follow us on Facebook, on Twitter @BBCNewsEnts, or on Instagram at bbcnewsents.

            "input": "By Brian WheelerPolitical reporter He is one of the most recognisable faces in British politics: a former minister in the coalition government, a ballroom dancing enthusiast who did Strictly before Ed Balls, a financial guru noted for predicting the economic crash and now, at the age of 74, the leader of what used to be known as the third force in British politics. As someone who was a leading player during the coalition years, and who paid the price for it by losing his Commons seat in 2015, he will know better than anybody the scale of the task facing him. The Lib Dems have just 12 MPs. Sir Vince has conceded that the party's decision to campaign hard for a second referendum on the terms of the Brexit deal did not \"cut through\" at the general election. But he believes the party's time will come again, when it begins to dawn on the public that leaving the EU is a terrible mistake and has harmed the economy. He aims to lead the charge in Parliament against what he sees as Theresa May's reckless pursuit of a \"hard Brexit,\" joining forces with Remainer Tories to frustrate the passage of key pieces of legislation. His mild manner - impressionists have compared his voice to that of the soft-hearted prison officer Mr Barrowclough in the 70s sitcom Porridge - masks a shrewd and steely operator, with a knack for generating publicity. Even before easing into the seat vacated when Tim Farron felt compelled to resign as leader, he was grabbing column inches and stirring up social media controversy, telling the BBC's Andrew Marr show he thought Brexit might never happen. It was this tendency to speak his mind, with one eye on the headlines, that drove some of his Conservative coalition colleagues to distraction during his years in government. At times, Sir Vince, or plain old Mr Cable as he was known then, gave the impression of a man being held captive by enemy forces. He baffled Tory MPs with his first Lib Dem conference speech as business secretary, in which he attacked capitalism, accusing it of killing competition. He branded the Conservative stance on immigration \"nasty\" and \"ugly\" and fought a long-running battle with then Home Secretary Theresa May over immigration curbs on students and non-EU workers, which he believed would be disastrous for the UK economy. But it was comments he never meant to be heard publicly that landed him in the most trouble, when in December 2010 he told undercover reporters he could bring down the coalition at any point by walking out - and how he had to \"battle\" to curb Tory excesses and promote his own party's agenda. He called the coalition's attempts to push through changes in the health service, local government and other areas a \"kind of Maoist revolution\", which was \"in danger of getting out of control\". Most damagingly, he told the undercover Daily Telegraph reporters he had \"declared war on Rupert Murdoch\" and planned to block the media baron's efforts to take full control of BSkyB. The remarks led to him being stripped of his powers to make a decision on the BSkyB bid - and were criticised by Downing Street as \"totally unacceptable and inappropriate\". But the fact that he remained business secretary may have proved his point about being unsackable. Who is Sir Vince Cable? Date of birth: 9 May 1943 Education: Grammar school, Cambridge university Family: Father of three grown-up children by his first wife, Olympia, who died in 2001. Remarried in 2004. Eldest grandson, Ayrton Cable, launched the Humanitarian Water and Food Youth Award at the age of 11, in front of 12,000 young people at Wembley Job before politics: Economist, lecturer and adviser to the Kenyan government and senior Labour politicians. Chief economist at oil giant Shell. Political career: A Labour councillor in Glasgow in the 1970s, who joined the SDP in 1982 and then won his Twickenham seat for the Lib Dems at the second attempt in 1997. Stood in as Lib Dem leader when Sir Menzies Campbell quit in 2007, was business secretary in the coalition government between 2010 and 2015, before losing his seat. Returned to the Commons in June. Knighted in 2015. Off duty: Ballroom dancing and writing - he is about to publish his first novel, a political thriller about a post-Brexit future called Open Arms. Sir Vince was a contemporary of Ken Clarke, Michael Howard and Norman Lamont - some of the Tory \"big beasts\" of the 1990s - while at Cambridge University. But he did not follow them on the fast track to Parliament. A grammar school boy from York, he initially joined the Liberal Party but, after university, defected to Labour. He fought for the Glasgow Hillhead seat at the 1970 election, losing. As a Labour councillor in Glasgow he contributed to The Red Paper on Scotland, edited by Gordon Brown in 1975. In 1982, Sir Vince changed party once more, this time opting for the newly formed Social Democratic Party. He made failed attempts to run for Parliament in 1983 and 1987. After the SDP and the old Liberal Party merged to form the Liberal Democrats in 1988, Sir Vince was unsuccessful in another bid to become an MP in 1992. It was not until the anti-Tory landslide of 1997 that he finally won the seat of Twickenham, south-west London. Along the way, he worked as an economics lecturer, at the Foreign Office, as a special adviser to future Labour leader John Smith, an official in the Kenyan government and as chief economist for the oil company Shell. Once in Parliament, his political career went comparatively smoothly, with promotion to the Lib Dem front bench in 1999 and to Treasury spokesman in 2003. In this influential role he made pronouncements on the unsustainability of Labour's long economic boom - comments which saw his reputation rise following the arrival of the credit crunch. He was also one of the first senior politicians to call for Northern Rock to be nationalised. Sir Vince helped to oust Lib Dem leader Charles Kennedy in 2005, but it was after Mr Kennedy's successor, Sir Menzies Campbell, resigned after two years in the job, that Sir Vince became a household name. Having been elected deputy leader, he stood in at prime minister's questions and in a memorable exchange mocked Gordon Brown, remarking on the then prime minister's \"remarkable transformation in the last few weeks from Stalin to Mr Bean, creating chaos out of order rather than order out of chaos\". Laughter rang around the Commons chamber and a man previously seen as a rather dry figure was instantly transformed into a budding media star. By the 2010 election he was a familiar face on the nation's TV screens, cultivating a reputation as one of the few front-ranking politicians who had warned about the looming financial crisis in 2008. When David Cameron failed to win an overall majority, there were suggestions he might become chancellor under the Tory-Lib Dem government that emerged from coalition talks. However, the job went to George Osborne and Sir Vince was given the business brief - in charge of a department he had previously suggested should be abolished. Sir Vince's most controversial task was to oversee the rise in university tuition fees to a maximum of £9,000 a year. This came despite the Lib Dems signing a pre-election pledge to oppose any such move, which made him and party leader Nick Clegg the focus of much anger. Sir Vince voiced doubt about whether he should back the plans in Parliament. Eventually he and all his Lib Dem ministerial colleagues did so, in the face of a large rebellion by the party's backbench MPs. The Lib Dems have still not recovered from the reputational hit they took over tuition fees, although Sir Vince continues to defend the policy to this day, telling Sky News earlier this month that scrapping fees would be a \"cheap populist gesture\" that would create an unfair system, adding that the \"40% of students\" who go to university should not be subsidised by the \"60% who don't\" He also oversaw the controversial privatisation of the Royal Mail, which was criticised by the National Audit Office as being sold off too quickly and cheaply, after shares soared 70% above their original price. Sir Vince insisted the sale had delivered \"value for money\" for taxpayers. His political career appeared to have come to an end in 2015, when he was ejected from Parliament by the voters of Twickenham. Never one to rest on his laurels, he threw himself into his hobby of ballroom dancing - in 2010 he had taken part in the BBC's Strictly Come Dancing Christmas special - entering the British National Dance Championships, after taking lessons at the dance studio of his Strictly dance partner Erin Boag. He also started work on a novel, after previously hitting the best seller lists with The Storm, an explanation of the 2008 world financial crash and how Britain should respond to it. Sir Vince is the father of three grown-up children by his first wife, Olympia, who was from Kenya. It was a mixed-race marriage, which saw Sir Vince defying his father, who told him such unions \"didn't work\". After Olympia was diagnosed with cancer for a second time in the 1990s, he combined the roles of being an MP and her carer until her death in 2001. Sir Vince remarried in 2004, to Rachel Smith, a farmer from the New Forest who had been at Cambridge with him. He wears the wedding rings from both of his marriages. He won back his Twickenham seat in June's snap election and when Tim Farron unexpectedly announced he was quitting as Lib Dem leader, saying he could not reconcile the role with his Christian faith, Sir Vince decided to stand for a job he had long coveted. When potential rivals ruled themselves out, it became clear that he would be crowned leader without a contest. Sir Vince has brushed off concerns about his age by referring to Sir Winston Churchill, who led his party in his late 70s, and William Gladstone, who was prime minister in his 80s. \"Some of the brightest and most interesting people in British politics recently have been relatively old,\" he said when quizzed about it. \"You remember Bernie Sanders in America as well? I don't feel old, I feel young and energetic.\" He had always regretted not standing for the party leadership in 2007, when Sir Menzies Campbell was effectively hounded out of the job for being too old, at the age of 66. Sir Vince, who was then 64, apparently feared that he would also be judged too old, but with his opposite numbers in the Conservatives and Labour both in their 60s, age is less of an issue now. He bristles at the suggestion that he is merely keeping the leadership seat warm for his 38-year-old deputy Jo Swinson, who had been the runaway favourite to be the party's next leader before deciding not to stand. \"I've made it very clear I wasn't signing up to be a caretaker, I was signing up to do the job and do it properly and whatever that involves,\" he told The House magazine, including leading the party into the next election, whenever that might be.",

The fire service said the building was not occupied at the time and there are not thought to be any injuries, but nearby residents have been told to keep doors and windows closed.

Enterprise Minister Laurence Skelly said the \"logical decision\" to cancel the event for a second year was needed to protect residents and visitors. Current support for affected businesses has been extended by a month. Three schemes designed to help the tourism and travel industry will now be in place until 30 April. Loans will be available to relieve the immediate pressure of offering refunds to those who had booked for the TT. Ferry passengers will have the option to transfer their bookings to 2022 or apply for a full refund, a spokesman for the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company said. The 2020 TT Festival was cancelled in March as the first wave of Covid-19 ripped through much of Europe. The cancellation of next year's motorcycling festival represents another huge blow for the island's tourism industry. The border has been closed for months to the vast majority of non-residents as the Manx government battles to prevent the island from suffering the high rates of Covid-19 transmission seen throughout much of the UK. Mr Skelly said the decision had been taken early to \"provide certainty and clarity\" to everyone involved. The races depend on thousands of volunteers, many of whom travel to the island. Moving the festival to later in the year had been ruled out due to the \"complexities and risks\" of holding an event of its size outside of the usual timeframe. An announcement over the running of the Classic TT races and Manx Grand Prix, which are scheduled to go ahead between 21 August and 3 September, will be made by the end of March. As a result of the TT Festival's cancellation, the Senior Race Day bank holiday originally due to take place on 11 June has been moved to 27 August. Mr Skelly said despite the progress towards a vaccine, the government could not commit to \"welcoming tens of thousands of people to the island in June\". The decision did \"not necessarily\" mean the island's border restrictions would remain in place until then, he added. Douglas resident Anne Rostron, whose husband Brian is a former TT competitor, said she could see why the decision had been taken, because it would be \"letting everybody in\" to the island. Her friend Judith Curtis said there were arguments for and against cancelling the event, adding: \"It's going to hit the island again financially, but you've got to think about the safety of the people.\" James McLaren said although it would be \"a disappointment\", it was \"better to be safe than sorry\". \"It's a huge influx of people at the end of the day and with a pandemic going on I don't want a resurgence over here of Covid,\" he said. \"I know the TT is a big part of the tourism economy of the island, but I can't see us risking the entire economy for one event being a great idea,\" he added. Michelle Rivera, who moved to the island in February, said the cancellation was \"sad\" as she had been \"looking forward\" to watching the event for the first time next year. Ken Beilby, who regularly marshals at the event, said it would be \"another blow\" to the community and the economy. \"There always a shortage of accommodation anyway for people coming over - it's going to be even worse if there is no accommodation available,\" he said, suggesting that some businesses would not be able to survive the loss of two consecutive TT Festivals. Peter Boussougou said making an early decision over the event was \"definitely the right thing to do\" as it would prevent many from booking travel and accommodation only to have to claim the money back. Tom Baker said the cancellation could help local businesses as it could encourage Manx residents to spend their money on the island rather than travelling away to avoid the festival. Twenty-three time TT winner John McGuinness said that although he was \"not surprised\" by the decision, he was \"super disappointed\" by it. He said: \"I'm sure we're going to miss it and I'm sure it'll be back. It gives everybody - the organisers and everybody else - time to try and make the event stronger and better.\" Fellow TT champion Ian Hutchinson said the event was a \"massive thing for all the teams\" involved. \"To hear it's not going ahead is going to break a lot of hearts,\" he added.

            "input": "Between 2012 and 2015, cases of syphilis increased by 76%, from 3,001 to 5,288, while gonorrhoea infections rose by 53%, from 26,880 to 41,193, Public Health England data reveals. The rise was notable among men who have sex with men. At the same time, rates of genital warts decreased, thanks to a vaccination campaign. Rates of sexually transmitted infections as a group also went down slightly, totalling 434,456. But experts say this could be because fewer people came forward for testing. Chlamydia was the most commonly diagnosed STI, accounting for nearly half of the cases diagnosed in 2015. Young people are routinely offered chlamydia screening, but only 13% of young men and 32% of young women were tested in 2015. The large fall in genital warts - a 7% drop - was seen in young women, and experts say this was probably because of the national human papilloma virus vaccination programme. All girls aged 12 to 13 are offered the jab as part of the NHS childhood vaccination programme. The FPA charity's chief executive, Natika Halil, said boys should be offered the vaccine too, which is something ministers are considering. Genevieve Edwards, of Marie Stopes UK, said the statistics should \"set alarm bells ringing\" about the availability of sexual health services for young people and men who have sex with men. \"We have to keep a focus on preventing sexual ill health, and providing prompt diagnosis and treatment to those who need it,\" she added. The British Association for Sexual Health and HIV said the continued rise of gonorrhoea was extremely disturbing, given the further spread of drug-resistant infections. Dr Gwenda Hughes, head of STI surveillance at PHE, said: \"We need to do more to raise awareness about STIs and how they can be prevented, especially the effectiveness of using condoms. \"We recommend that anyone having sex with a new or casual partner uses condoms and tests regularly for HIV and STIs.\" STIs",

Work is planned to start in 2019 and finish in 2021. Leader of Worcester County Council, Simon Geraghty, said it was 'fantastic news for Worcestershire'. Midlands Live: Man stabbed in the neck in Tamworth; Van driver stops runaway bus The link road project has already seen the A4440 Whittington Road turned into a dual carriageway from the M5 junction 7. The next phase will include widening the road between Ketch and Powick, including Carrington Bridge. Analysis by BBC Hereford and Worcester reporter Tom Edwards The southern link road is one of the most congested routes in Worcestershire, with more than 30,000 vehicles using it per day. It is currently undergoing a £45m pound revamp aimed at making most of it a dual carriageway, but until today that project was due to finish in 2019 without the Carrington Bridge being touched. Worcestershire County Council made a bid to the Department for Transport earlier this year for £54m, arguing to ministers that without the cash, the bridge would have to stay as it is. In recent months, lobbying has taken place with senior Government figures, resulting in Worcestershire winning the single largest award from a package of announcements nationwide amounting to £345 million. It is widely expected to ease a lot of traffic problems in Worcester, Malvern and towards the M5, but could also spell a new house building frenzy, with land near the route being touted to developers for up to 5,000 properties. Councillor Geraghty said: \"It will complete one of the country's biggest capital construction projects, improve journey times and the reliability of the network.\" Richard Udall, county councillor for St John's, welcomed the funds but argued that the project was \"the wrong priority\". \"We are simply building bridges and roads which will not take any more capacity,\" he added. \"What we really need to do is to complete the ring road around the city with a new bridge that will take through traffic out of Worcester.\"",

            "input": "By Hugh PymHealth editor It continues: \"Kindness will get you through. Embrace the challenge. Look after each other. You are stronger than you think.\" This is the \"wobble room\", set aside not for patients but for front-line staff to get them away - briefly - from the intense pressure and strain experienced in the first wave of Covid-19. \"We made a wobble room because that's what we needed,\" Kelly-Ann Gurney, an intensive-care nurse, told the BBC. \"It's a room where staff could just go and sit and cry if they needed to and get it all out and then come back and 'put their face on' and get back into it again.\" Now the second wave is hitting the hospital, and the need for the room is just as great. Concerns are growing about the physical and mental health of front-line NHS staff. There has been no lull since the April peak of the virus as normal treatments and operations, postponed during the crisis, have returned to hospitals. The second wave is now breaking on them, but this time there has been no widespread clearing of beds and cancellations of non-urgent work to create capacity for Covid patients. To add to the pressure, winter with all its additional health challenges is not far off, and some staff are wondering whether they can cope. Caroline Swan, a senior sister and manager of the intensive care unit at the Royal Derby, says she is ready to face what is ahead but feels very tired. \"I am also very concerned. My staff are very tired and stressed out. We have a lot of sickness either due to burnout or they are unwell. \"A lot of staff have to self-isolate at home - and that puts a lot of strain on staffing here.\" Dr Magnus Harrison, medical director of the University Hospitals of Derby and Burton NHS Trust, says managing rotas is getting harder due to staff sickness and the need for some to self-isolate if family members are infected. \"It is worth acknowledging what staff did in the first wave. They behaved tremendously and worked incredibly hard, and we're expecting them to do it again in winter - and Covid numbers could be higher than in the first wave. People are tired out.\" The Royal College of Nursing has said it has \"grave concerns\" about how services will be safely staffed this winter with the NHS in England back at the highest alert level. It argues that even with an increase in newly trained nurses and those returning from retirement, there may not be enough staff to cope with the second Covid wave. Sir Simon Stevens, head of NHS England, said at a recent Downing Street media conference that about 30,000 NHS staff were either off with coronavirus or having to self-isolate. He added that controlling the spread of the virus in local communities was essential if the NHS was to be fully staffed. A Department of Health spokesman said it was committed to ensuring the NHS in England had \"the funding and resources it needs, including front-line staff\". He added: \"We are on our way to delivering 50,000 more nurses by the end of this Parliament - with already over 14,000 more in the NHS over the last year.\" Dr Greg Fletcher, an intensive-care consultant, has worked at Royal Derby for 12 years. He points to the unprecedented strain of caring for very sick patients in critical-care beds, some of whom will not survive because there is no cure for the coronavirus. \"I've seen more people die seemingly needlessly or unexpectedly in the last six months than I have seen in the whole of my career. It's been despite trying everything we could to save life. It does take its toll on an emotional and psychological level.\" The mood at the Royal Derby is stoical. Staff know what to expect after their experience of the first wave. But this time the days are shorter and colder, and there is no opportunity to take a break in the sunshine. Kelly-Ann Gurney says \"a lot of staff are struggling\". But she adds: \"We've done it before and we'll do it again. We just have to support each other through it.\" Greg Fletcher adds that there will be no let-up and no holidays to look forward to. \"We go into the next few months with a significant degree of trepidation.\"",

The US, Japan, China and Russia will also be involved. 9 July: South Korea's spy agency says North Korea has started reprocessing a \"small number\" of the 8,000 spent nuclear fuel rods at Yongbyon. 13 June: South Korea's Yonhap news agency says North Korean officials told the US on 30 June that it had completed reprocessing the fuel rods. 9 June: North Korea says publicly that it will build a nuclear deterrent, \"unless the US gives up its hostile policy\". 2 June: A visiting delegation of US congressmen led by Curt Weldon says North Korean officials admitted the country had nuclear weapons had \"just about completed\" reprocessing 8,000 spent fuel rods which would allow it to build more. 12 May: North Korea says it is scrapping a 1992 agreement with the South to keep the peninsula free from nuclear weapons - Pyongyang's last remaining international agreement on non-proliferation. 2 May: Australian Foreign Minister Alexander Downer expresses concern after an official from North Korea's ruling Worker's Party is found on board a state-owned ship accused of bringing A$80m (US$50m) worth of heroin into Australia. 24 April: American officials say Pyongyang has told them that it now has nuclear weapons, after the first direct talks for months between the US and North Korea in Beijing end a day early. 23 April: Talks begin in Beijing between the US and North Korea, hosted by China. The talks are led by the US Assistant Secretary of State for East Asian affairs, James Kelly, and the deputy director general of North Korea's American Affairs Bureau, Li Gun. 18 April: North Korea announces that it has started reprocessing its spent fuel rods. The statement is later amended to read that Pyongyang has been \"successfully going forward to reprocess\" the rods. 12 April: In a surprise move, North Korea signals it may be ready to end its insistence on direct talks with the US, announcing that \"if the US is ready to make a bold switchover in its Korea policy for a settlement of the nuclear issue, [North Korea] will not stick to any particular dialogue format\". 9 April: The United Nations Security Council expresses concern about North Korea's nuclear programme, but fails to condemn Pyongyang for pulling out of the Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty. 1 April: The US announces that \"stealth\" fighters sent to South Korea for a training exercise are to stay on once the exercises end. 10 March: North Korea fires a second missile into the sea between South Korea and Japan in as many weeks. 2 March: Four North Korean fighter jets intercept a US reconnaissance plane in international air space and shadow it for 22 minutes. 25 February: Roh Moo-hyun sworn in as South Korean president. 24 February: North Korea fires a missile into the sea between South Korea and Japan. 12 February: The IAEA finds North Korea in breach of nuclear safeguards and refers the matter to the UN security council. 5 February: North Korea says it has reactivated its nuclear facilities and their operations are now going ahead \"on a normal footing\". 31 January: Unnamed American officials are quoted as saying that spy satellites have tracked movement at the Yongbyon plant throughout January, prompting fears that North Korea is trying to reprocess plutonium for nuclear bombs. 28 January: In his annual State of the Union address, President Bush says North Korea is \"an oppressive regime [whose] people live in fear and starvation\". North Korea says Mr Bush's speech is an \"undisguised declaration of aggression to topple the DPRK system\" and dubs him a \"shameless charlatan\". 10 January: North Korea announces it will withdraw from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. 7 January: The US says it is \"willing to talk to North Korea about how it meets its obligations to the international community\". But it \"will not provide quid pro quos to North Korea to live up to its existing obligations\". 6 January: The IAEA passes a resolution demanding that North Korea readmit UN inspectors and abandon its secret nuclear weapons programme \"within weeks\", or face possible action by the UN Security Council. 2002 27 December: North Korea says it is expelling two International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) nuclear inspectors from the country. It also says it is planning to reopen a reprocessing plant which could start producing weapons-grade plutonium within months. 26 December: The IAEA expresses concern in the light of UN confirmation that 1,000 fuel rods have been moved to the Yongbyon reactor. 25 December: It emerges that North Korea had begun shipping fuel rods to the Yongbyon plant which could be used to produce plutonium. 24 December: North Korea begins repairs at the Yongbyon plant.

It blames the US for wrecking the 1994 pact. 11 December: North Korean-made Scud missiles are found aboard a ship bound for Yemen, provoking American outrage. The US detains the ship, but is later forced to allow the ship to go, conceding that neither country has broken any law. 18 November: Confusion clouds a statement by North Korea in which it initially appears to acknowledge having nuclear weapons. A key Korean phrase understood to mean the North does have nuclear weapons could have been mistaken for the phrase \"entitled to have\", Seoul says. 14 November: US President George W Bush declares November oil shipments to the North will be the last if the North does not agree to put a halt to its weapons ambitions. 20 October: North-South Korea talks in Pyongyang are undermined by the North's nuclear programme \"admission\". US Secretary of State Colin Powell says further US aid to North Korea is now in doubt. The North adopts a mercurial stance, at one moment defiantly defending its \"right\" to weapons development and at the next offering to halt nuclear programmes in return for aid and the signing of a \"non-aggression\" pact with the US. It argues that the US has not kept to its side of the Agreed Framework, as the construction of the light water reactors - due to be completed in 2003 - is now years behind schedule. 18 October: Five Japanese citizens abducted by North Korea 25 years before are allowed a brief visit home - but end up staying, provoking more tension in the region. 17 October: Initially the North appears conciliatory.

Under this deal, North Korea agreed to forsake nuclear ambitions in return for the construction of two safer light water nuclear power reactors and oil shipments from the US.",

The three amigos hang out, listen to the rapper Dave's Psychodrama album and drink vodka. They're celebrating Sameer's career-advancing offer of a move to Singapore, Jeremiah's new job at a recording studio, and Rahool's decision to… go back to Leicester? And so begins We Are All Birds of Uganda, the debut novel by Hafsa Zayyan, joint-winner of Stormzy's #Merky Books New Writers' Prize. On the evidence of this book, which is set in England and Uganda, she is an exciting new literary talent. The author shares some of her protagonist's biographical details. She too went to Cambridge University (and Oxford), became a lawyer, lives in London, and was offered a posting to Singapore. And, like Sameer, she is from an immigrant family: her parents are Nigerian and Pakistani, his are East African Indians. But this is not her story, it is his. She went to Singapore, he has yet to decide to accept his offer. In the history of dramatic plot-lines it is not the most arresting, but it does serve the purpose of providing a gateway into the main themes of the novel. The issues and subjects it takes on are big: British, South Asian and African racism, religion, the past, acceptance and belonging, identity, immigration, capitalism, multiculturalism, family values, generational differences, the notion of success. All are explored with great intelligence and sensitivity. But, at a cost. The novel reads as if it is topic-led rather than story led, the facts more important than the fiction. I wonder if it was a little rushed. The characters feel small and thinly drawn - doing their duty to maintain structure and illustrate a thematic point, rather than being the point. They don't appear to have been allowed to take on a life of their own, to surprise us; to surprise the author. Sameer is a nice bloke with some serious life decisions to make, but is, as protagonists go, a tad dull. There is no shade to his light. The same applies to Jeremiah and Rahool, who are little more than cameos. Family and relations follow well-worn paths, dividing along generational and cultural lines. There is no devil in the detail. All of which makes the first two-thirds of We Are All Birds of Uganda quite slow, but stick with it and the rewards come as Zayyan's writing finds the lightness and fluency of a much more experienced novelist. Having been curiously incurious about his past, Sameer finally discovers his sense of identity and purpose when he engages with his own personal history, a history that is drip-fed to the reader in a series of short, interlaced chapters, which take the form of letters written by his grandfather to his deceased first wife. They are poetic history lessons contextualising the circumstances that led to Sameer being brought up in Leicester rather than Kampala, where his father was born. The letters cover the period between the end of World War Two to the decade after Idi Amin's expulsion of South Asians from Uganda in 1972. It is an epic novel in terms of historical, geographic, and cultural scope. It has much to recommend it: the tone, the structure, the ambition, and the clarity that enables the story to cover so much ground without ever becoming confused or lost during its 360-pages. It is a good book but not quite a great novel. I suspect the next one will be. Recent reviews by Will Gompertz: Follow Will Gompertz on Twitter",

            "input": "By Roger HarrabinBBC environment analyst The country falls some way short of a limit recommended by the World Health Organization for tiny particles called PM 2.5s. These are produced by burning fuels in power generation, domestic heating and in vehicle engines. PM 2.5s are known to harm the lungs and heart. Ministers will confirm a legally binding PM 2.5 target in two years' time, alongside goals for waste reduction, wildlife, and water. The announcement follows criticism that the government's 2020 Environment Bill failed to include binding targets. It’s had a mixed reception from green groups, who can't tell yet whether the planned targets will be strong or broad enough to tackle the current ecological crisis. They’re also dismayed that the targets won’t be settled until 2022. The government’s new goals will commit to restoring and creating wildlife-rich habitats in protected sites, as well as tackling pollution from agriculture and waste water to improve water quality. Annual progress will be monitored by a new environmental watchdog, the Office for Environmental Protection. It’s hoped that setting targets will have the same effect on the broader environment that they’ve had on cutting carbon emissions. Environment Secretary George Eustice said: “The targets we set will be the driving force behind our bold action to protect and enhance our natural world - guaranteeing lasting progress on some of the biggest environmental issues. \"I hope these targets will provide some much-needed certainty to businesses and society.\" The announcement has already generated debate about where the targets should be applied and how strong they should be. Richard Benwell from Wildlife and Countryside Link, said: “These proposals show the government is considering a truly bold breadth of targets for Nature - well beyond the statutory minimum. “Nevertheless, more ambition will be needed to turn round the relentless decline in our natural world.” Emerging thinking in the UN Convention on Biological Diversity, for instance, suggests that around 30% of land and seas should be managed for nature by 2030 in order to reverse the declines of recent decades - the so called 30 by 30 target. Joan Edwards, from the Wildlife Trusts conservation group, told BBC News: “Currently, around 8% of the land area of England is designated as a national or international protected area - and most of this is not being managed properly. “The same's true for our seas - plenty of designated sites but they're still being fished and built upon. “We need more of our land, water and seas managed for nature’s recovery.\" There are calls for a new chapter in the Bill to address the nation’s “global footprint“ - the impact on the overseas environment from things consumed in the UK. Protecting the Amazon Kate Norgrove, from the wildlife campaign group WWF, said: “A credible Environment Bill must help protect the Amazon and other disappearing habitats with tough new nature laws to eliminate deforestation from the products we buy.” Friends of the Earth has huge concerns over the timescale for action under the Bill. Its campaigner Kierra Box said: “Ministers must also close a huge loophole that could allow action to be delayed for many years - currently the targets are not expected to be met until 2037 at the earliest. “Governments have a dismal track record of missing and abandoning voluntary environmental goals, so Parliament must insist on giving interim targets binding legal status too.” The plan has been proposed by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra), which is working in consultation with devolved authorities around the UK.

So his latest interview, with Beats 1 presenter Zane Lowe, was on-brand for the musician. He not only touched on porn and religion, but also said: \"I'm unquestionably, undoubtedly, the greatest human artist of all time.\" \"It's just not even a question anymore.\" Religion has often featured in Kanye's music, and he has even started his own Sunday Service - a weekly gathering, often invite-only, that features gospel-inspired remixes of classic songs of different genres and a gospel choir. His new album - which was released on Friday - is called Jesus is King, and he has promised another, entitled Jesus is Born, will be released on Christmas. Kanye says he asked some of his team not to have premarital sex while they worked on the album. \"Some people drown themselves in drugs, and I drown myself in my addiction, which was sex,\" he said, talking about how he felt addicted to pornography after finding his dad's Playboy magazine at a young age. Other than music, one of his business ventures is clothing brand, Yeezy, which showed at Paris Fashion Week. Kanye spoke about his plans to \"bring manufacturing to America\", hiring workers for his Yeezy factories through American prison reform systems. He went on to boast, \"God is using me to show off\". \"Nebuchadnezzar was the king of Babylon, and he looked at his kingdom and said \"I did this\" \"Sounds kind of similar, right? I'm standing on the top of the mountain talking about Yeezus saying 'I did this. I am a God.'\" The mountain he's referring to is his stage design for the Yeezus tour in 2013/14, which also saw a Jesus lookalike appearing on stage. He spoke about the costs of his creative design on tours, saying that he \"didn't make any money\" from his Yeezus tour, even though it was reported to have made $25 million, being the second highest grossing leg of a tour during 2013, after Paul McCartney. Kanye also commented on his past feud with Drake, saying he wants to get back to \"positive energies\". He said: \"God is funny. Drake lives four blocks down the street from me. So that shows you that God has a sense of humour.\" He went on to say that he sometimes walks to Drakes house, but doesn't knock on the door to disturb him, instead leaving his mobile number with Drake's security. \"You cannot be in service to God and be mad at your brother.\" Follow Newsbeat on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.

            "input": "The saga has captivated the city since reports surfaced in May of the existence of the video. The video, first brought to light by journalists who reported seeing it, has never been released publicly. Mr Ford, who has denied using crack cocaine, has refused to resign. \"I wish I could come out and defend myself,\" he told a gaggle of reporters outside his office on Thursday following the police statement on the video. \"Unfortunately I can't because it's before the courts, and that's all I can say right now... I have no reason to resign,\" he said. Earlier, Toronto Police Chief Bill Blair told media of the video they had recovered from a computer hard drive, the contents of which he said were consistent with previous media descriptions. Police have not filed criminal charges against Mayor Ford in connection with the video. \"There is nothing on that video that would support the laying of criminal charges,\" Mr Blair said. But he added it was an \"issue of significant public concern and... a problem for the city\". He said he was \"disappointed\" by the video's contents. In May the Toronto Star newspaper said it had been approached by drug dealers trying to sell the video; two of its reporters viewed the video, but the organisation declined to pay for it. A Gawker journalist also reported seeing the video and the organisation raised more than $200,000 in an online campaign to buy it, before being told by a source the video was \"gone\". A photo depicting Mr Ford with two young men, which Gawker said they were given by the drug dealer selling the video, became notorious when it emerged that one of the men, Anthony Smith, had been shot dead on a Toronto street. Two men are facing murder charges in that case. Driver charged Reports of the mystery video's existence triggered a massive police investigation into the mayor and his associates, specifically a friend and occasional driver named Alexander \"Sandro\" Lisi. Mr Lisi has since been charged with marijuana trafficking and possession. Police said on Thursday that he now faced a charge of extortion in relation to the video. Documents released on Thursday also revealed a lengthy police surveillance operation against Mr Ford, with officers going through his rubbish and monitoring late-night meetings between Mr Ford and Mr Lisi. The documents were released by court order on Thursday after petitioning by leading Canadian media outlets. Several of Mr Ford's aides have resigned and his chief of staff was sacked in recent months. Some were interviewed by police in the case. Divisive figure The case has riveted the city and its suburbs of just under six million people, Canada's largest. Mr Ford and his brother Doug, also a city councillor, have become divisive figures. Mr Ford was elected in 2010 on a tough economic platform in which he promised to rein in spending and end the influence of special-interest groups. His term in office has been plagued with allegations of substance abuse and regular confrontations with media, whom he accuses of organising a witch-hunt. He also narrowly escaped being removed from office in a conflict of interest case. But he has drawn public sympathy with his folksy image and a very public battle with his weight. Before Thursday's revelations, Mr Ford had pledged to run for re-election next year. He refused to comment to reporters at his home early on Thursday.",

            "input": "By Paul HarrisonBBC UGC and Social News It is an election in which the former Prime Minister, Silvio Berlusconi, could again play a key role. His centre-right coalition seems likely to emerge as the largest bloc, opinion polls suggest, while the Five Star Movement is expected to become the biggest single party. Immigration and populism have dominated the debate, especially on social media, while experts say the outcome could have an impact on the economy. Politicians and campaigners have been using social media to communicate with voters. But many of them are worried about disinformation campaigns, like those evident in recent elections in Europe and the US. In the run-up to the election, some fake stories - widely shared in the press and on social media - caused a furore among Italians. In November 2017, several news organisations reported that a nine-year-old Muslim girl was hospitalised after being assaulted by her 35-year-old \"husband\" in the north-eastern city of Padua. The story was shared on social media by Matteo Salvini, the leader of the anti-immigration party Lega and his members. Many were outraged that this could happen in modern Italy. The Carabinieri, the national gendarmerie, denied the incident happened, and news organisations removed the story and apologised for their mistake. Mr Salvini also removed the story from his social media accounts. Fake polls In February 2018 a number of Five Star Movement supporters shared a fabricated poll stating that their party was on track to receive over 48% of votes. The poll, which was wrongly attributed to the BBC, Der Spiegel and Daily Star Lebanon, was first shared in March 2017 by activist accounts claiming to be linked to the party. The results of the poll are at odds with most reliable opinion polls, which suggest the party is likely to receive closer to 28% of votes. High-profile journalist Enrico Mentana took to Facebook to denounce the false poll, which he called \"annoying and counterproductive\". A number of Italian news outlets have also pointed out that the poll includes the incorrect names for some parties and is littered with grammatical mistakes. A government minister, Maria Elena Boschi, and her colleagues attended a funeral of a Nigerian immigrant who was killed in a racist attack in July 2016. Later, in November 2017, a photograph of Ms Boschi at the funeral resurfaced on social media, alongside the claim that she and her colleagues were at the funeral of Toto Riina, the notorious \"boss of all bosses\" of the Sicilian Mafia. The manipulated picture included a caption: \"Look who was there to say one last goodbye to Toto Riina?\" The photograph certainly showed they went to a funeral but it was not Toto Riina's. In her Facebook post, Ms Boschi described the meme as an \"abomination\". She implied that some Five Star Movement supporters had distributed the fake image. \"I believe we have to say stop to fake news, to hatred, to lies,\" she said. \"This goes too far. They even use the head of the Mafia against us. It's time to say enough, enough, enough.\" There is no evidence to suggest that the account that originally posted the doctored image was indeed linked with Five Star. Since her election as president of Italy's lower house of parliament, Laura Boldrini has become a target of misogynistic insults and bogus news stories. Fictitious scandals involving her relatives have also been shared on social media. In July 2016, a fake news outlet claimed on Facebook that her sister managed 340 apartments for migrants. However, many people pointed out that the woman featured in the post was TV actress Krysten Ritter and not Ms Boldrini's sister. Fighting back Many politicians and officials are worried that fake news could cause further damage in a tense political climate. The former Prime Minister, Matteo Renzi, said the future of Italian democracy depended on the help of social media sites, in an interview to the New York Times. Other politicians have not been content to wait for social network sites to sort out the problem. In October 2017 Ms Boldrini, along with a group of politicians, set up a project to teach school students how to spot bogus stories online. In January this year the Italian government launched an online portal where citizens could report fake content, causing outrage among journalists and fact-checkers. And before the election, Facebook launched a partnership with Pagella Politica, an independent fact-checking organisation, to track fake stories and images. It remains to be seen, however, if these attempts will work - and what impact, if any, fake news will have on voters.",

The charity said the figures did not \"fully reflect the scale of the issue\", as many crimes went undetected or unreported. Where the police logged age and gender, seven out of 10 victims were girls aged 12 to 15. One in five was aged 11 or under. The youngest victim was five years old. The NSPCC said 39 of the 43 police forces in England and Wales responded to Freedom of Information requests, with only Surrey, Sussex, Northampton and City of London police failing to provide data. The children's charity is calling for new laws to force social media firms to do more to protect children. 'We exchanged texts which quickly became sexual' In one case of abuse given by the charity, a girl was groomed by a 24-year-old man when she was 13. Emily - not her real name - met the man through a friend. He had introduced himself, saying he was 16, which quickly changed to 18. She told him she was 13. Later that evening he added her on Facebook and Snapchat. Emily said: \"It escalated very quickly from there. We exchanged texts which quickly became sexual, then photos and videos before arranging for him to come and pick me up after school. \"He drove me somewhere quiet… and took me into the woods and had sex with me. He drove me in the direction of home straight afterwards, refusing to even talk, and then kicked me out of the car at the traffic lights. \"I was bleeding and crying. This was my first sexual experience.\" Emily's mother said: \"We felt as though we had failed as parents - we knew about these social media sites, we thought we were doing everything we could to ensure our children's safety when they were online, but we still couldn't protect Emily.\" 'Overwhelming evidence' NSPCC chief executive Peter Wanless accused social media networks of \"10 years of failed self-regulation\". \"These figures are overwhelming evidence that keeping children safe cannot be left to social networks. We cannot wait for the next tragedy before tech companies are made to act,\" he said. Ahead of the government publishing a delayed white paper on online harm, the charity is pushing for statutory regulation to enforce a legal duty of care to children on social networks, with a penalty of substantial fines if they fail. 'Robust processes' A National Crime Agency spokesperson said: \"It is vital that online platforms used by children and young people have in place robust mechanisms and processes to prevent, identify and report sexual exploitation and abuse, including online grooming. \"Children and young people also need easy access to mechanisms allowing them to alert platforms to potential offending. A spokesperson for Facebook, which also owns Instagram, said keeping young people safe was its \"top priority. \"We use advanced technology and work closely with the police and CEOP [Child Exploitation and Online Protection] to aggressively fight this type of content and protect young people.\" A Snapchat spokesperson said the exploitation of any member of its community, especially a young person, was \"absolutely unacceptable\". \"We go to great lengths to prevent and respond to this type of illegal activity on our platform,\" they added. The platform recommends young people keep their privacy settings restricted, do not share their username publicly and do not add people they do not know as friends. A spokesperson from the Home Office said both the home secretary and culture secretary had \"engaged tech firms about their responsibilities towards protecting people\". Last year the home secretary announced a £250,000 \"innovation call\" for organisations to help develop new ways to disrupt the live streaming of abuse.",

            "input": "By Steven BrocklehurstBBC Scotland news website The Economist newspaper recently ran a feature on Glasgow's health record under the headline \"No city for old men\". It was just the latest in a long line of news stories to cite \"an excessive love of deep-fried Mars bars\" to represent all that is wrong with the eating habits of a city and - by extension - a nation. The roots of the phenomenon go back to August 1995 when the Daily Record reported on \"Scotland's craziest takeaway\". The newspaper called the delicacy, which was being served up in the Aberdeenshire town of Stonehaven, the Mars Bar supper - the term supper often being used in Scots chip shops to describe a meal served with chips. \"Sweet-toothed youngsters are ordering their favourite choc bars deep-fried in batter,\" the Record said. Soon UK-wide publications were following up on a phenomenon which seemed to speak eloquently about poor diet and the ever-increasing lengths people would go to to get a hit of sugar and fat. By 2004, the reputation of the deep-fried Mars bar had travelled the Atlantic and it was mentioned on the Jay Leno Show in the US. But was it true or was it an urban myth? Was it a widespread phenomenon or did its reputation outstrip its popularity? UK medical magazine The Lancet published research eight years ago from two Glasgow-based public health experts who claimed never to have met anyone who had eaten one. They surveyed hundreds of fish and chip shops in Scotland to find out if \"the delicacy\" was available and if people were actually buying them. It found 66 shops which sold them, 22% of those who answered the survey. David Morrison, senior lecturer in chronic disease epidemiology at the University of Glasgow, was one of the experts who did the research. The deep-fried Mars bar is seen as a \"totem\" for something which is a significant driver of ill health, obesity and high-fat diets, he says. Morrison doesn't want to \"demonise\" a single food stuff but notes that it is well-known that high-fat and high-sugar foods lead to health problems. Annie Anderson, from the Centre for Public Health Nutrition Research at the University of Dundee, used to send her medical students out into the city to see if they could find somewhere that sold deep-fried Mars bar. \"It was not much of a challenge in Dundee,\" she says. And in Glasgow on Wednesday it was also a relatively simple task. Ahmed at Neptune's on Duke Street refuses to fry chocolate bars because \"it turns the oil black and oil is very expensive.\" But Mustapha from Denis's takeaway on the High Street is happy to oblige. He says he will deep-fry anything. \"That's my job\", he says. Mustapha says he sells one or two deep-fried Mars bars a day - more when the students are back at the nearby Strathclyde University residences. He takes a Mars bar from the shelf, unwraps it, dips it in the same batter he uses for the fish and throws it in the fryer. A couple of minutes later he presents a soggy chocolate bar covered in batter. The caramel squirts out when it is bitten. It is soft warm and sweet. Sickly sweet and fatty. The Carron Fish Bar, formerly called the Haven, which began the craze, reckons it sells about 100 to 150 of the culinary concoctions a week. But about 70% are to visitors to the town, who have heard of its reputation or seen the large sign outside saying \"Birthplace of the World Famous Deep Fried Mars Bar\". Sparked into action by publicity surrounding an application for secured status under the EU's Protected Food Name Scheme, Mars has written to the fish bar asking it to make plain that deep-frying of the bars is \"not authorised or endorsed\" by the chocolate manufacturer. Glasgow restaurateur John Quigley is \"not a fan\" of the deep-fried Mars bar, which he says \"tastes disgusting\". He recoils from the thought of \"fat on fat\" and says that if something is fatty it should be \"cut with\" something fresher. Quigley, who was once a private tour chef to singer Bryan Adams, says Scotland has been trying to \"shake off\" its unhealthy image for 20 years and it has been succeeding in many ways. \"The deep-fried Mars bar is probably doing harm to the reputation of Scottish food because really there are not a lot of people actually eating them,\" he says. But while Quigley, the chef/patron of Red Onion in the city's West Campbell Street, rejects the battered chocolate bar, he says deep-fried foods such as fish and chips still have a place. \"If you get a good fish and make the batter correctly, the fish is actually steamed. The batter is fried but the fish is not and you can remove and throw away the batter if you want. \"That's not the case with the Mars bar. They are just fat and sugar and it is really hard to cook them without the caramel escaping through the chocolate.\" However, despite his distaste Quigley admits that he had a large group of 18-year-olds up from England for a birthday party in his restaurant and they requested deep-fried Mars bars. \"It was a bit of fun so I did it. I threw in some Snickers and Twixes as well and they scoffed the lot. \"It's a novelty though. You will try one once but you will not be back.\"",

            "input": "By Kevin PeacheyPersonal finance reporter The survey, from property website Zoopla, said tenants moving into a Nottingham home this summer paid 5.4% more in rent than a year earlier. Leeds and Bristol (up 4.5%) were the only other UK cities where rents rose faster than UK average wage growth. On average, renting a UK home has become more affordable, Zoopla said. Part of the reason lies in an increase in the number of people buying their first own home, relieving some of the pressure on the rental sector. Tenants moving in Aberdeen - where the local economy is affected significantly by the oil industry - saw rents drop by 4.1% in the third quarter of the year, compared with a year earlier. Coventry and Middlesbrough also saw renting become cheaper, according to the inaugural Zoopla quarterly rental report. Who is affected? Nearly three-quarters of 16 to 24-year-olds and almost half of 25 to 34-year-olds rent from a private landlord, according to the government's Family Resources Survey. The sector is concentrated in London, with about a third of rental properties in the UK found in the city. This is also where the typical rent per month is the most expensive. The Zoopla report suggests that the typical tenant in the UK spends nearly a third of their earnings on rent (31.8%), slightly less than the peak in 2016. Outside of London, tenants spent the highest proportion of earnings in Oxford, Brighton and Cambridge, with the lowest in Hull, Bradford and Stoke. UK-wide rental prices are up by an average of 2% in the last year, which is about half the typical level of wage rises. 'You end up changing your whole lifestyle' Amy moved to Bristol five years ago and has found renting in the city has become increasingly expensive. \"There's a much smaller pool of houses within my budget now,\" said the 28-year-old, who works full-time in insurance. \"I have had to move further away from the centre to find somewhere I can afford.\" She has also had to compromise on space as it was too expensive to rent a flat on her own. \"I'm 28 - I should be living in my own place but instead I have to share,\" she said. Amy is moving house again later this month and said she spent months trying to find somewhere affordable, despite the fact her wages have gone up since she first moved to Bristol. \"You end up changing your whole lifestyle,\" she said. \"I've had to find other areas where I can cut my spending. \"I've been trying to save up to go back to university but I have had to put that on hold.\" \"Renting is more affordable today than the 10-year average. [An increase in] first-time buyers, 80% of whom exit the private renting sector to buy, has also moderated rental demand,\" said Richard Donnell, of Zoopla, which has based the figures on its listings and other data. \"Rental affordability varies widely across the country, reflecting the relative strength of local economies.\" Across the UK, homes take an average of 17 days to rent, based on the time between a listing being posted and removed. This is down from one year ago, when homes took 19 days to rent, and much shorter than the time it takes to sell a property. The typical tenant spent nearly four years in the same property, Mr Donnell said. Where can you afford to live?

And since 15 September, the company can no longer buy key chips from its manufacturers. Speaking at Huawei's annual industry event, in Shanghai, Mr Guo said the change had \"brought great challenges to our production and operation\". \"In terms of the chips, in the middle of September, we just rushed to stockpile some,\" he told reporters. Huawei said it had sufficient supplies to keep its business-to-business operations - such as 5G infrastructure - running smoothly. But it is reportedly facing shortages in key parts for its smartphone business, where it remains one of the world's largest manufacturers. Huawei is searching for new suppliers, with Mr Guo suggesting major chipmaker Qualcomm as a possible source - if it can get a licence from the US to supply them. \"If the US government allows it, we are still willing to buy products from US companies,\" he said. Chip shortages are not the only problem Huawei is facing - it will now begin transitioning its phones to its own operating system, Harmony, instead of the widely used Android system. China, meanwhile, remains deeply critical of the US action, accusing it of \"naked bullying\" of Chinese technology companies.

He said the \"provisional conclusion\" was that extra runway capacity would be needed in the South East over the coming decades. To rely on existing runways would lead to \"a distinctly sub-optimal solution\". In a speech, Sir Howard said the demands on the UK's busiest airports were likely to continue to grow \"even if we take a more conservative view of future aviation demand than the Department for Transport has in the past\". He said that the commission thought it was difficult to see how the free market alone could resolve the capacity-demand imbalance in the South East. Regional airports are already serving their local markets effectively but it is difficult to see how they can absorb all the excess demand, he said. \"Taken together, these considerations point to the need for new runway infrastructure in the south-east of England in the coming decades,\" he said. The Airports Commission was launched on 2 November last year, with the aim that it should produce a full and final report no later the summer of 2015, which would be after the next general election. Sir Howard, a former director general of the CBI and ex-head of the Financial Services Authority, said: \"Our final conclusions will certainly not please everyone. I am sure about that.\" Labour had approved an extra, third runway at Heathrow airport, but this plan was abandoned by the coalition Government when it took power in May 2010.

            "input": "By Emma JonesEntertainment reporter Thanks to its handling of the Covid-19 pandemic, the country is enjoying an unprecedented boom in film production, with directors seeking safe conditions, and that most elusive thing this year - a normal life. International blockbusters including James Cameron's Avatar sequels, Amazon's Lord of the Rings series and Jane Campion's The Power of the Dog - starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Kirsten Dunst - all managed complex film shoots in New Zealand this year. The country's home-grown movies have also received a boost at the box office by Kiwis supporting their industry, leading one local filmmaker to joke that they're now living in \"the Hollywood of the Pacific\". \"We're in this sweet spot,\" says Curtis Vowell, the director of a comedy, Baby Done, that was executive produced by Oscar-winning Jojo Rabbit director Taika Waititi. \"We're lucky that we're isolated from the rest of the world, and I feel we've got a government that's been super helpful to the film industry. We're in the Hollywood of the Pacific, and it's almost too easy to take for granted how lucky we are. \"All my film crew friends have unlimited work, there's thousands of Kiwis who are fully employed. International tourism is awful, and the airlines are really struggling, but the film industry in New Zealand is thriving, which goes against all predictions.\" New Zealand, like so many other countries, did experience a lockdown in March - leading to what New Zealand Film Commission's CEO, Annabelle Sheehan, recalls as \"a very challenging moment.\" \"We had about 47 local productions in various phases of filming and production, plus we had seven major international projects, employing more than 4,000 New Zealanders, and they all had to shut down,\" she explains. But because the country managed to eliminate community transmission of the virus, apart from an incident in Auckland in August, film production could resume by summer, with Avatar one of the first projects to start up again. Avatar producer Jon Landau posted photos of his arrival back in New Zealand in June. By September, director James Cameron was able to confirm: \"We're 100% complete on Avatar 2 and sort of 95% complete on Avatar3.\" \"We're very lucky in that we chose this as our production site years ago,\" he added. \"We made the first film here in New Zealand and it turns out to be ranking first or second-best country in the world for its Covid response.\" Apart from the Covid-19 safety practices adopted by productions around the world, New Zealand gained an advantage by opening its borders to some international filmmakers and actors, including Cameron and Landau - who both had to quarantine for 14 days before they could resume work. Sheehan explains that the exceptions were made for economic benefit. \"Small numbers of international executives, crew or cast were allowed in, as these productions can trigger hundreds of local jobs per project. A recent industry report found that an international production can spend 60 per cent of its budget on transport, accommodation and catering, so it all helps the wider economy. They were all safely quarantined, and the productions subject to very high levels of Covid care.\" Borders shut According to Emma Slade, the producer of the comedy Nude Tuesday, which filmed in New Zealand this year, the policy made all the difference to her film. The movie is a joint production between Australia and New Zealand, and filming was completed in October, after being delayed for six months. \"We had nine Australians who needed to come into the country to film,\" she recalls, \"and when the borders were shut it was like they wouldn't let our cousins in! \"But it was the right decision to be really tough on the borders - because that's why we've been able to continue with a relatively normal life. Coming in so hard at the start of this virus was the reason why I was able to make my film this year.\" Slade says that financiers were also prepared to let Nude Tuesday go ahead without Covid-19 insurance, which is adding substantial costs to many TV and film projects around the world. But she adds that, despite part of the film being made in a remote part of New Zealand's South Island, strict distancing and sanitizing protocols were followed. \"It's the complete nightmare scenario that someone tests positive and the production shuts down, like on The Batman,\" she says, referring to the Robert Pattinson film, where filming was suspended twice over the summer. \"As the producer, you live with that fear every day. We were so vigilant, we had to know where every member of our crew had been in case of transmission. But we are fortunate that we know it's unlikely to be spreading in our community and that probably helped with financing. It's the advantage of having a small population and also being an island.\" 'No fear' According to the New Zealand Ministry of Culture and Heritage, the industry supports about 21,000 local jobs and contributes $NZ 2.7 billion (£1.4bn) to its GDP every year. The government has also announced a NZ$50 million (£26million) production grant that Annabelle Sheehan hopes \"will lead to a surge in New Zealand led stories.\" She also reports \"about a doubling\" of international inquiries for filming in the country in 2021. \"In the next six months we'll see maybe seven to 12 international projects filming, plus local New Zealand productions. We're at full capacity right now,\" she reports. \"I think part of the attraction is that our towns have a lifestyle that people are yearning to go back to, which is to connect in person. We're able to do that, it's safe outside the film set.\" Sophie Henderson, the writer of Baby Done, recalls seeing a thousand people at the premiere of the film in the autumn. \"It's the most people I've seen in a room all year,\" she says. \"There wasn't any fear at the screening at all,\" director Curtis Vowell says. \"People are going to the cinema, and supporting films, and everything feels strangely normal, until we read the newspapers.\" Baby Done, which stars Harry Potter actor Matthew Lewis and comedian Rose Matafeo as a couple trying to get their bucket list ticked off before their baby is born, has also benefited from New Zealanders supporting local films at their cinemas. The international success of Kiwi directors including Taika Waititi and Niki Caro, who recently made the Chinese Disney epic Mulan, means more local productions are getting attention. Baby Done has made more than $US 400,000 (£300,000) at the local box office since release and has been sold for release in the UK and USA. \"I feel like Kiwi comedy is having its own moment,\" Henderson says. \"We have this deadpan, self-deprecating, silly humour, and Taika's success has fed that side of it. And we all need a laugh at the moment. Of course, it's also helped that we haven't had to compete with Wonder Woman 1984 or James Bond this year. \"In the worst year that you could ever release a film, we're probably in the best country to do it.\" Baby Done will be released in UK cinemas and on digital platforms from 22 January 2021.

            "input": "In 1957, a man dropped off a roll of film at a pharmacy in Philadelphia. But the developed photos were never returned to their owners. The pictures appear to depict a gay wedding, nearly 50 years before same-sex marriage was legal anywhere in the US and almost 60 years before it became a federally-recognised right. Now, a trio of gay producers and writers are trying to identify the grooms to learn their story and to find out whether a pharmacy employee balked at providing the snaps because they objected to their subject. The writers are documenting their efforts in a reality show The Mystery of the 1957 Gay Wedding Photos. The programme, which doesn't yet have a platform to call home, is being produced in conjunction with Endemol Shine Group, whose shows include Big Brother, The Biggest Loser and Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. \"It's a passion project for us,\" says Michael J. Wolfe, a Los Angeles-based writer. \"We are turning over every stone, interviewing dozens of people in the Philadelphia area and beyond, and consulting with investigators, historians, and experts across many different fields.\" The photos were acquired by a collector a few years ago who had bought them at an online auction. He realised their significance and donated them to ONE Archives at the USC Libraries in Los Angeles and at the Wilcox Archives in Philadelphia. The couple in the pictures appear to be in their 20s or 30s, so they would be in their 80s or 90s if they were alive today. The grooms and their guests are dressed up in dark suits with flowers in their lapels. The celebration took place in a modest flat with the blinds drawn. It featured a ceremony officiated by someone who appears to be a member of the clergy. The grooms are shown kissing, cutting their wedding cake and opening presents. Mr Wolfe and his partners, filmmaker PJ Palmer and TV writer/producer Neal Baer, have not identified the mystery couple yet. They request any tipsters to contact them through their website and Facebook page. For Palmer, the pictures were especially moving. \"We are recovering amazing, important stories all sorts of them... and more gay history that's been buried,\" he says. \"There is a very rich history that's been suppressed… I wish as a child [that] I had seen family photos of a marriage like this... I would have felt more normal as a kid. I would have known that I was okay.\" Couples who fell in love sometimes committed themselves to one another in unions that were not acknowledged by either governments or religions. The US Supreme Court didn't recognise the right for gay people to marry the person of their choice until 2015, 11 years after Massachusetts did so. \"We don't know how common or uncommon it was for couples to hold ceremonies to marry each other [because] there is so little photographic or film record of how people actually lived,\" says Eric Marcus, host of the Making Gay History podcast. \"It's important to remember that people found ways to live their lives quietly away from the prying eyes of the straight world.\" Of course, that was easier said than done. Several years before the wedding took place, President Dwight Eisenhower signed an executive order banning gays from working for the federal government. In 1952, The American Psychiatric Association classified homosexuality as a \"sociopathic personality disturbance\" in the first edition of its Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM), the listing of known psychiatric disorders. After considerable lobbying by activists, the APA removed homosexuality from the second edition of the DSM in 1973. The Stonewall Riots, considered to be the birth of the modern gay rights movement, had happened a few years before that in 1969 - 12 years after the wedding. It's not just the passage of time that will hinder the search for the grooms. The filmmakers believe the Aids crisis may also be factor - about 700,000 Americans have died since the start of the epidemic in the 1980s, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation. \"We are talking about a generation of people who were decimated by Aids,\" Mr Wolfe said. \"There are a lot of missing people who otherwise would have made a search like this much easier. All of that happened before social media.\" If the couple is ever identified, they would certainly add another chapter in the history of gay rights for doing something extraordinary that is now becoming increasingly ordinary.",

            "input": "But here's a look at those inauguration day moments you might have missed, some solemn, some emotional, but also the podium wipe guy. Katy Perry's Firework It was hard to find any downbeat comments after the white-clad Katy fired off her epic anthem to close out the day in front of the Washington Monument - as the Bidens stood watching from their balcony. Although Firework as a song has drawn many interpretations, from sex to firework safety to LGBT rights, it seemed a pretty good fit here. The exploding background didn't do any harm, but the lyrics weren't too off track either. \"Do you ever feel like a plastic bag/Drifting through the wind, wanting to start again?\" Well-known Twitch streamer hasanabi tweeted \"katy perry is right, trump DID make me feel like plastic bag!\" Oh, and the song swept back into the US iTunes chart of course. That's how it all ended but let's go back to the start... His way Before Joe took over, Donald first had to leave. Perhaps not all of the Trump administration could be called carefully choreographed, but the strains of Frank Sinatra's My Way ringing out as Air Force One swept Mr Trump out of the presidency and off to Florida is hard to fault. We can't say for sure he planned it himself and the other tunes banging out at Andrews base - like Elton John's Funeral for a Friend - were hard to parse for some. Mr Trump's a big fan of Sinatra apparently. Though it's not reciprocated - Sinatra's daughter, Nancy, said her father loathed the then real estate mogul. The other Trumpism drawing attention was Melania's outfit change. It was quickly pointed out that Mrs Trump had used her flight from Andrews to Florida to quickly update her wardrobe to suit her new, post-first lady life. Some noted her relaxed smile after touching down in Florida - an apparent contrast to her demeanour at her husband's inauguration four years ago. And on to the inauguration ceremony... Bernie: his mittens, his envelope, his style The first sensation came from Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders with his sensible choices for Washington's near-freezing weather - an outdoorsy jacket with woollen mittens accoutred with a brown manila envelope. Channelling a grumpy uncle at a February wedding or a man in an unheated waiting room, he brought new glory to the timeworn philosophy of bringing yourself and nothing else to an occasion. It's clearly a creed that President Biden's choice for Treasury Secretary, Janet Yellen, ascribes to as she too was pictured wearing a cold-defying black parka, a face mask and black gloves. And a BYOB (bring your own blanket). But the patterned brown wool mittens have a story of their own that is also very on brand and had some gushing. The mittens were reportedly made by schoolteacher Jen Ellis from his home state of Vermont, using repurposed wool sweaters and recycled plastic bottles. A nod to Senator Cory Booker for one of the coldest barbs of the day. The New Jersey Democrat got a ton of reaction for his Facebook post welcoming the inauguration no-show of the 45th president, Donald Trump, by saying the temperature was -45. Shades of purple The colour purple - well hues of it at least - hit the small screen in a big way. Kamala Harris in purple, Hillary Clinton in amethyst, Michelle Obama in a plum-coloured turtleneck and trouser design. Why purple? Well it has a long history with the suffragette movement, and has been promoted by some as an intertwining of Republican red and Democrat blue. It's a unity thing. Lady Gaga appeared with a gold Schiaparelli gilded dove of peace brooch so large it threatened to fly her off the stage as she sang the national anthem. Suffice it to say she was on less controversial ground with an ancient symbol of love and peace than a dress made of meat (like the one she wore back in 2010). One - in fact two - of the sweetest outfits were worn by Amara and Leela Ajagu, the four- and two-year-old great nieces of Kamala Harris. They wore their faux leopard fur coats because they wanted to be like her. Ms Harris had worn a similar outfit in a 1970s photo with the children's grandmother (and her sister), Maya Harris. Which brings us on the kids' father, Nikolas. He's the partner of Kamala's niece, Meena, and was also the subject of a social media trawl after an eagle-eyed screen-shotter spied a pair of jaunty Dior Air Jordan 1 sneakers on the stairs during Senator Amy Klobuchar's speech. He did get some stick, with tongue-in-cheek praise for \"making black history\" and \"daring to drip\" at a presidential inauguration. The shoes are limited edition and could get $10,000 on resale. Meena later explained in a tweet. A historic fist bump But it wasn't all fashion. Barack Obama - the country's first black president - exchanged an inauguration day fist bump with Kamala Harris. The moment was celebrated as a historic passing of the torch between the two political trailblazers, the only black Americans in history elected to serve in the White House. Eugene Goodman escorts the vice-president Kamala Harris also had a special security escort: Capitol Police officer Eugene Goodman. Mr Goodman has been hailed as a hero after his actions during the storming of Capitol Hill earlier this month. Footage from inside the deadly insurrection shows the officer singlehandedly steering a mob away from the Senate chamber, while the lawmakers hid inside. Mr Goodman accompanied Ms Harris in his new role as deputy Senate sergeant-at-arms. She took her oath with her trademark smile about to burst through the historic moment, and as President Biden took his the emotion was also evident on his wife Jill's face. And as the podium was handed from one storied speaker to another - from senators to longtime advisers of President Biden - one man made sure to jostle them to the side before they took the microphone, for their own protection of course. Podium wipe guy, as he became known, disinfected the stand between each speaker and was lauded (online) as one of the unsung heroes of the day. It's never been seen before at an inauguration, it's a ritual that may well be here to stay. Amanda Gorman for president? And finally - we knew to expect poet Amanda Gorman in the inauguration line-up, but we did not know how much she would resonate with people around the world. \"When day comes, we ask ourselves where can we find light in this never-ending shade?\" began Gorman, the country's youngest ever inaugural poet. At today's celebration, the 22-year-old performed her poem titled \"The Hill We Climb\"- penned after the Capitol riots. The writer and performer became the country's first national youth poet laureate in 2017. Today, the self-described \"skinny black girl, descended from slaves... [who] can dream of becoming president\" has found \"herself reciting for one\". But her ambitions don't end there - according to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Ms Gorman has promised a future presidential run of her own.",

It found 93% of non-religious people did not make use of chaplains. The group has eight trained pastoral carers in Wales and is training more in Swansea at the beginning of October. Its existing carers are based in Cardiff, Wrexham, Penarth, Aberystwyth, Carmarthenshire, and Monmouth. Humanists believe the universe is a natural phenomenon with no supernatural or religious side, and trust scientific methods and evidence to understand it. Kathy Riddick, who coordinates pastoral care in Wales for Humanists UK, said there had been an increase in demand. \"The traditional chaplains are based around religious needs, but we are finding more and more people are not comfortable receiving that care, particularly in hospices where the view of a non-religious person at the end of their life can be very different,\" she said. \"Humanists believe the human is in the centre of everything and in treating everyone equally - that there is one life we live to the best we can, and that is quite an uplifting message.\" Some of the volunteers in Wales choose to specialise in certain areas - only going to hospitals or to prisons, depending on what they feel comfortable doing. For example, Ms Riddick said one carer had been going to Cardiff Prison to provide services one day a week for \"quite some time\" - and another takes an approved dog to hospices in Monmouthshire. \"They really feel it's quite rewarding,\" she added. Andrew Copson, chief executive of Humanists UK, said: \"It is vital that everyone receives support and empathy in their times of greatest need, regardless of their religion or belief.\" Head of Pastoral Support, Simon O'Donoghue, added: \"The research shows that most non-religious people want to see a non-religious pastoral carer rather than a chaplain and that the vast majority of people associate chaplains solely with Christianity. \"The time is right to offer choice and fair provision to the non-religious majority.\"",

The Kasai region, once one of the most prosperous and peaceful in DR Congo, descended into violence in 2016. Long-simmering resentment exploded into rebellion against the government. In December 2017, the UN declared the crisis in DR Congo as the highest level of emergency - the same as Yemen, Syria and Iraq. The UN children's agency Unicef has appealed for $88m (£65m) in aid for Kasai. Unicef spokesperson Christophe Boulierac has just returned from a trip to Kasai. \"I was really shocked by what I saw there,\" he told the BBC. Mr Boulierac said he had visited three hospitals and seen children suffering from severe acute malnutrition. When he returned a few days later, several of the children had died. \"We are not saying that children are at risk of dying of malnutrition in Kasai, we are saying that children are already dying, they are dying, they have died, in silence, in the bush\". What is the fighting about? Some of those who fled the fighting are now returning to their destroyed villages, where no crops have been planted. Unicef estimates that almost four million people in Kasai need aid. Malnourished children are the most vulnerable. The organisation says it wants to scale up feeding centres, train medical staff, and support children who were forcibly recruited by armed groups. The rebellion broke out in 2016 after the government refused to recognise a traditional chief, Kamina Nsapu, and imposed its own man instead.

            "input": "The reduction came despite a fall in fuel prices during the period. It came after sales rose at the start of the year when the threat of a tanker drivers' strike saw panic buying. Motoring organisation the AA said price rises since 2008 have contributed to a \"steady decline\" in the overall market. The government figures show that more than 2 billion fewer litres of petrol and diesel were sold compared with the same period in 2008, before the recession. In the first half of this year, a total of 16.7 billion litres of fuel was sold on forecourts in the UK. This compares with total sales of nearly 19 billion litres between January and June 2008. 'Fair deal' In the first three months of this year, meanwhile, there was a rise in petrol sales of almost 120 million litres compared with the same period in 2011. Demand for fuel shot up at the end of March after ministers urged people to stock up amid threats of a strike by tanker drivers. But the government rejected claims by retailers their advice had caused panic buying. Petrol Retailers Association chairman Brian Madderson told BBC Radio 5 liveBreakfast that, during a week of \"government-inspired panic buying\", sales of petrol \"got up to over a 170% of its normal rate\". \"So by the end of March everybody with a car had their tanks full of petrol and, of course, after that, in the second quarter, sales fell off the cliff.\" The AA blamed the slump on the fuel industry for \"trying to squeeze more money out of shrinking customer demand\". Its president Edmund King acknowledged that panic buying - as well as wet weather - may have played a part in the April-June fall. \"However, petrol prices slumped more than 10p a litre - from the record of 142.48p a litre in mid-April to the low-point of 131.19p at the end of June - and UK drivers began to travel further with lighter evenings, bank holidays and the Queen's Diamond Jubilee celebrations,\" he said. He added: \"While we welcome the fact that new cars have become more fuel-efficient, this goes nowhere near to accounting for the crash in demand over the past three months, and the past five years.\" He said the fall in sales since 2008 had to \"bring some sense of reality to the fuel market and the government\". \"However, we have seen the fuel industry trying to squeeze more money out of shrinking customer demand, as was the case when wholesale diesel was cheaper than petrol in early spring but drivers and businesses were forced to pay 5p a litre more. \"Price transparency is the way forward - to ensure and show drivers that they are getting a fair deal at the pump.\" Meanwhile, the AA's head of motoring Paul Watters warned that ministers may have to look elsewhere to make up lost tax revenues. \"We've heard talk of the government finding a real struggle in getting the revenues in that it was expecting and this dramatic drop won't help them one iota,\" he told BBC Radio 5 live. \"It will make them a bit desperate, perhaps looking towards road pricing again or looking towards squeezing more out of the tax disc that we all pay for.\" A spokesman for the Department of Transport has yet to respond to a request for a comment.",

On the third day of the trial, the High Court in Aberdeen watched a police interview with the accused who was charged after telling police: \"I didn't mean to, but I stabbed him.\" After being told he was being charged, the accused added: \"I am being charged with murder?\" Earlier in the interview, the accused said he had pulled out a knife to \"scare him [Bailey] away\" and that he later tried to take off Bailey's blazer to help stop the bleeding. He also said he carried a knife because he had never fitted in and was \"trying to act cool\". During a police interview the day after the incident, the accused was asked what had happened on 28 October. He told police Bailey had made a comment about someone getting fatter, and he [the accused] had replied \"just like your mum\". The accused said in the interview: \"I saw he was quite angry. \"I pulled out the knife, opened it up and tried to scare him away with it.\" He said Bailey got in the way and was stabbed. The accused then told police Bailey threw a few punches before a teacher got involved. He said: \"We stood up, I noticed the bleeding. I saw blood dripping from Bailey.\" The 16-year-old accused said Bailey then collapsed and he had shouted to the teacher. 'Never fitted in' The accused said he tried to take Bailey's blazer off to stop the bleeding. He said: \"Blood was spewing out.\" He continued: \"I saw Bailey having convulsions. I was almost crying.\" The accused told police that shortly after that he had said \"I know he's going to die, I know he's going to die\". Asked why he had a knife, he told police he never fitted in. He said: \"I was just trying to act cool, act tough.\" Earlier, the court heard that a laptop used by the accused contained an internet search for \"how to get rid of someone annoying\". Forensic computer analyst Charles Bruce told the High Court in Aberdeen that \"difference between a homicide and a murder\" was also searched. He said an internet address relating to a YouTube video of \"14-year-old Bronx student stabs bully to death outside school\" was also found. A joint minute of agreement on the third day of the trial stated that the laptop used by the accused was handed over to police by his father the day after Bailey's death. Under cross examination by defence counsel Ian Duguid QC, Mr Bruce said he did not know what results the searches brought up. Row over biscuits Mr Duguid suggested the \"how to get rid of someone annoying\" search brought up a page about how to get rid of annoying friends - with responses such as \"stop speaking\". Mr Bruce said he had not seen the page. Mr Duguid asked: \"No-one has followed through on these searches?\" Mr Bruce said: \"It appears so.\" The trial began on Tuesday, when the jury was told it was agreed by both prosecutors and defence lawyers that the accused became engaged in a fight with Bailey on 28 October 2015, that the victim was struck with a knife and suffered a \"penetrating stab wound to the heart\". The jury heard earlier how an argument between Bailey and the accused had begun in a row over some biscuits which led to name-calling and then a fight between Bailey and the accused. Witnesses said they were not aware of any conflict between the two before the incident. The murder charge against the 16-year-old claims he did \"engage in fighting\" with Bailey and struck him on the body with a knife. In addition, the accused is also alleged to have had knives or \"bladed instruments\" as well as two knuckledusters at school \"without reasonable excuse or lawful authority\" on various occasions between 1 August 2013 and the day of the alleged murder.

            "input": "By Joseph LeeBBC News In the early 1920s, Mark and Mary Blumenthal started a new life. Their parents had already left behind family roots in Lithuania and Russia to live in Britain. Against a background of rising anti-Semitism in Britain and across Europe, these second-generation immigrants changed their Jewish name to the most inconspicuously English one they could have found: Bland. Now their great-grandson is a BBC presenter who announced on Thursday he would be known as Ben Boulos - taking his maternal family's name to reflect his Sudanese-Egyptian heritage. He says he received an \"overwhelming and overwhelmingly positive\" reaction - much of it from people with similarly mixed heritage who have wrestled with questions of identity. \"I didn't realise quite how many people had gone through the same thought processes about their name, what it says about their identity, and how many people thought about changing it,\" says Ben. Some of the people who contacted him had multiple cultures in their background but Anglicised names that concealed their family history. Others had lost a name from their culture through marriage. And many had a similar story to his great-grandparents on his father's side, where they had in the past swapped a Jewish name for an Anglicised one \"for reasons of survival\" as Ben puts it. All these questions came to a head for Ben in lockdown, when the enforced isolation gave him time to weigh up his desire to better reflect his identity and the potential upheaval to his career and family. \"Thinking about your name and your identity is the kind of thing you put off because life is too busy, it's never a good time, everyone else is busy. When is the right time to strike up a conversation with your parents about your idea of changing your surname?\" With the blessing of his family, he announced the change on Twitter: \"Same Ben. Less Bland.\" As a boy at school, Ben says he was driven to fit in. His accent and appearance meant most people took him to be as white and British as they come. But every now and then there was a cultural disconnect. People didn't understand when they learned that his family celebrated Christmas or Easter on a different day, in line with their Coptic Christian faith. His home life was a bustling hubbub of traditional Sudanese-Egyptian food and conversation in Arabic and English - far from bland. At work in the BBC, Ben says colleagues would sometimes be taken aback by his language skills. \"Every time I would go through the process of explaining and people would say, 'I had no idea, why have you never said?' I always felt it would be a very odd thing to go around saying the whole time.\" The name Bland had achieved exactly what his great-grandparents needed at the time - to \"mask any kind of difference\", Ben says. \"Now it feels like having a name that reflects the heritage on my mum's side of the family is not just for people who can see and decipher little clues, it's like the mask has come off and it's out there for everyone to see.\" Ben says he is as proud of his Jewish heritage as of his Sudanese-Egyptian background and considered reverting to the name Blumenthal. But he says he wanted a name that gives \"a more complete picture of who I am and the influences on my life\". Boulos reflects the identity that has played the bigger role in shaping him, and the Coptic Christian faith he continues to practice. He worried, however, that his decision might be seen as disloyal to his great-grandmother's memory, her foresight in seeing Europe's shift to violent anti-Semitism and taking steps to protect her family. \"Who knows if they hadn't taken that decision whether the family would have survived and whether I'd even be here?\" Ben asks. But he feels that his decision reflects \"a recognition that the world has completely changed\", where he can speak openly and proudly of both his Jewish and his Sudanese-Egyptian heritage - and they no longer need the name Bland for survival. Ben sees a parallel between the two strands of his family which both converged on Britain as a safer place - his Sudanese-Egyptian family having become increasingly concerned about life in Khartoum during the 1970s and 1980s for the Christian minority. \"That's why with the name Bland, it's fine that people have assumed up until now that I'm just as Anglicised and as British as they come. I really feel there is a lot to be thankful to this country for,\" he says. \"But it doesn't give the complete picture about who I am, the background that shaped my identity and my beliefs and my perspective on the world. I want that to be more clear.\" One person who has mixed feelings about the change is journalism's other Ben Bland, a former Financial Times reporter who is now a south-east Asia expert for a think tank. On one occasion the two Ben Blands appeared simultaneously on the BBC. In his explanation of the name change, the BBC presenter mentioned that he'd been receiving social media messages meant for the other Ben Bland, \"some pleasant, some hostile\". Ben Bland - the south-east Asia expert - congratulated his former namesake on his new identity. But he said: \"I'm a bit concerned that my abuse-meter will rise now.\" Have you changed your name?

The pictures, which also show him hauling in the catch, were released by the Parks and Wildlife Commission Northern Territory. Meanwhile, the prince has completed an eight-day tour of New Zealand. Wildlife ranger Erin Britton said the prince would make \"a great croc catcher\" and said he did a \"great job\" helping the crocodile management team in the removal of the crocodile. Bess Price, minister for parks and wildlife, said it was a \"top secret mission\" that would leave \"a unique lasting impression\" of the Northern Territory with Prince Harry. Rangers in the Northern Territory remove crocodiles from waterways used for boating and fishing to limit the risk of fatalities and injuries. The Parks and Wildlife Commission Northern Territory says more than 200 crocodiles, common in Australia's tropical north, are removed from Darwin Harbour each year. They are taken to crocodile farms or killed. Meanwhile, on his final day in New Zealand, Prince Harry scored a winning goal in the dying seconds of a football match to the delight of a cheering crowd. The prince took part in the five-a-side game with a group of young players to promote the Fifa under-20 World Cup. After the 8-7 victory in Auckland, he said: \"I've had a great time and that win was so well-scripted, thank you.\" Prince Harry has spent a week in New Zealand, his first visit to the country. New Zealand Prime Minister John Key, who was made team coach, praised the prince's \"great display of athletic ability and sheer presence\". \"If you want a spot in the New Zealand team, call us any time, it's yours,\" he said. Prince Harry also talked to his teammates about football and asked if there were any fellow Arsenal fans. When one boy said he supported Stoke City, the prince said: \"I wouldn't have spoken up if I was you.\" Prince Harry also revealed he was looking forward to the FA Cup final between his team, Arsenal, and brother Prince William's side Aston Villa. He then went to the AUT Millennium Institute of Sport and Health where he tried out different exercises with All Blacks rugby player Kieran Read. These included lifting weights, playing netball, throwing a rugby ball through a tyre and rope pulling. Prince Harry landed in the country on 9 May, receiving a traditional Maori welcome in Wellington before travelling to Stewart Island, the country's most southern and remote community. He has also spent time in Christchurch, finding out about the city's efforts to regenerate after the earthquake in 2011.",

Those gathered around the cenotaph could be heard to shout \"scum\" and \"fascists\" at Black Lives Matter supporters. They also chanted \"There's only one Winston Churchill...,\" before breaking into a rendition of God Save The Queen. Nearby, around a dozen supporters of the Black Lives Matter group gathered holding handwritten placards and stood in silence watching the main demonstration. Though the event was largely peaceful, officers stepped in to keep protesters apart when a man started removing placards left by anti-racism protesters at the foot of the Colston statue plinth. He was stopped by others at the rally. Protests in England Another man briefly scaled the plinth and unfurled a Union Flag to applause and singing.

Some 15% were dissatisfied while 54% came down on neither side of the fence. The survey of 1,400 people also suggests fear of crime has fallen. But Mr Johnson's mayoral rival Ken Livingstone pointed to a growing perception of less police on the beat. The number of people who said they had seen less police about has risen from 16% in 2007 to 29% this year. According to the survey, 64% of Londoners are not worried about crime in their local area, compared to 54% last year. Fear of being mugged or attacked on the street has dropped significantly, from 30% last year to 18% this year. Gun crime was 22% lower in London 2010/11 compared with 2009/10, while robbery on public transport has fallen by 46.5% in the past three years. Javed Khan, chief executive for the charity Victim Support, said: \"We are pleased that this report shows more Londoners feel safer in the capital, but we shouldn't become complacent in the fight against crime. \"While the continued fall in crime is a reflection of the hard work of the police and criminal justice agencies, we must remember that nearly 60% of crime is still unreported.\" Mr Johnson said: \"We have achieved a lot over the past year, such as freezing the council tax for the third consecutive year and increasing funding for policing. \"But we can't rest on our laurels as there is still much to do, not least the challenge of staging the best games in Olympic history and creating a lasting legacy for all Londoners.\" The survey also found that 48% of people thought London needed cheaper Tube and bus fares - the third year-on-year rise in a row.

The past year saw 126 injuries to people on foot in Glasgow who had been drinking. Road safety campaigners have urged people to give more thought to their journey home, even if they are walking. Liz Brooker of Road Safety UK said: \"The biggest issue with drunk walking is that they would be over what we would call the drink-drive limit. \"It would impair them enough to see very clearly, they wouldn't have a good sense of judgement.\" Party season The research, commissioned by the website confused.com, suggested that men and people under the age of 24 were most at risk. In total, 21% of people contacted by researchers across the UK said they had walked home after consuming eight drinks or more. The research was published as Police Scotland warned people to be on the alert for opportunistic criminals when they are out celebrating during the party season. The force has teamed up with British Transport Police, NHS, the Scottish Ambulance Service, Best Bar None and other organisations to drive home the message as part of a festive safety campaign. The dangers they have highlighted included pick-pockets, unlicensed taxis and drink-spiking. Opportunistic criminals Insp Scott Tees, of Police Scotland, said: \"The final weekend before Christmas is always the busiest time with people having office parties and nights out. \"It's also very alluring to the opportunistic criminal, who preys on people who've had a bit too much to drink.\" He said people should keep an eye on their drinks, bags and jackets and stay away from illicit substances and legal highs as well as watching out for unlicensed taxis. \"It is the party season, so have a great time, but try and drink responsibly, as the more you drink the more your judgement is clouded and you can be less aware of what's happening around you,\" Insp Tees added. David Duthie, of Best Bar None Scotland, said: \"Best Bar None is an integral part of the Safer Areas Initiatives throughout Scotland and aims to positively enhance the night-time economy by rewarding venues which promote a responsible drinking environment. \"We want you to enjoy yourselves over the festive period.

The soldier was disoriented and was provided medical assistance and oxygen, the army said in a statement. Tensions have been high between the two countries since a deadly clash in a disputed area in June. The latest incident comes after multiple rounds of military-level talks between the two sides to defuse the situation. The Indian Army said the soldier was handed back according to \"established protocols\". Soldiers from both countries have periodically skirmished along the poorly demarcated border, called the Line of Actual Control (LAC). Both sides have accused each other of straying into their territory, which have sometimes resulted in clashes. This is not the first time the two sides have handed over citizens who strayed over the border. In September, China freed five Indian nationals after they wandered across the border. India said the youths, from a state bordering China, were hunters who had accidentally strayed into Chinese territory. What's the background? Relations between the two countries had been deteriorating since June, when at least 20 Indian soldiers were killed in a skirmish in the disputed Ladakh border area. China did not comment on reports that it had also suffered casualties. Then, in August, India accused China of provoking military tensions at the border twice within a week. Both charges were denied by China, which said the stand-off was \"entirely\" India's fault. And in early September, China accused India of firing \"provocative\" warning shots at its troops. India in turn, accused China of firing into the air. The allegations, if true, would have been the first time in 45 years that shots were fired at the border. A 1996 agreement prohibits the use of guns and explosives near the border. A few days later, India's foreign minister and his Chinese counterpart met in Russia, where they reached an agreement to de-escalate tensions from their shared border. Since then, several rounds of military-level talks have been conducted. But despite several rounds of talks, the nuclear-armed neighbours have failed to de-escalate tensions. There are several reasons why tensions have risen recently - but competing strategic goals lie at the root, and both sides blame each other. The two countries have fought only one war, in 1962, when India suffered a humiliating defeat.",

            "input": "By Matt McGrathEnvironment correspondent The research, carried out by green campaigners CoalSwarm, suggests that 259 gigawatts of new capacity are under development in China. The authors say this is the same capacity to produce electricity as the entire US coal fleet. The study says government attempts to cancel many plants have failed. According to this study, there was a surge in new coal projects approved at provincial level in China between 2014 and 2016. This happened because of a decentralisation programme that shifted authority over coal plant construction approvals to local authorities. The report says that at present China has 993 gigawatts of coal power capacity, but the approved new plants would increase this by 25%. China's central government has tried to rein in this boom by issuing suspension orders for more than 100 power plants but this analysis suggests that these efforts have been significantly less effective than previous news reports had indicated. In this study, the researchers used satellite photos to examine every power plant that was subject to a suspension order. They found construction ongoing at many locations. For instance, in September last year, China's National Energy Administration ordered a group of plants - that together could produce 57 gigwatts of electricity - to slow down construction. The organisation also prohibited them from connecting to the grid in 2017. However the satellite data suggests that half of this capacity appears not to have slowed down at all. \"This new evidence that China's central government hasn't been able to stop the runaway coal-fired power plant building is alarming - the planet can't tolerate another US-sized block of plants to be built,\" said Ted Nace, from CoalSwarm. \"It's not too late for the central government to fix the problem, but they have to start cancelling projects, not just rescheduling them.\" If this extra capacity was operational, it would make it much more difficult for the world to limit CO2. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), for the world to limit warming to below 1.75C above pre-industrial conditions, China would have to close all its power plants that don't have carbon capture and storage facilities within 30 years. \"Avoiding dangerous climate change requires essentially phasing out coal plants globally by 2045,\" said Christine Shearer, lead author of the report. \"China needs to begin planning for the aggressive retirement of its existing coal fleet, not building hundreds of new coal plants.\" However, some researchers believe that the building of these plants has more to do with boosting the local economy in China than with boosting emissions. \"Coal power plants run only about half the time in China, and one could argue the new capacity is not needed,\" said Glen Peters, from the Centre for International Climate Research in Oslo, who was not involved with the report. \"The new coal power plant builds are most probably about keeping the economy ticking along, particularly from a provincial government perspective, rather than being needed for future electricity generation.\"",

The tech giant says it has been singled out and was \"a convenient target\". Ireland is also contesting the decision, claiming that EU regulators were interfering with national sovereignty. Apple issued a lengthy statement, pointing it out that it was the largest taxpayer in the world, in the US and in Ireland. It said if the EU ruling went against it, the company would pay 40% of all the corporate taxes collected in Ireland. Apple said it paid a 26% tax rate on its worldwide earnings, but said it was correct that it paid most of that in the US. \"Because our products and services are created, designed and engineered in the US, that's where we pay most of our tax... this case has never been about how much tax Apple pays, it's about where that tax is paid.\" 'Misunderstood law' Apple's European headquarters are located in Ireland - where the standard rate of corporate tax is 12.5%. But in August, the European Commission said that Ireland had enabled the company to pay substantially less than other businesses, in effect paying a rate of no more than 1%. On Monday, in a strongly-worded statement, Ireland's finance ministry Ireland's finance ministry said that the European Commission had \"misunderstood the relevant facts and Irish law\". \"Ireland did not give favourable tax treatment to Apple - the full amount of tax was paid in this case and no state aid was provided,\" it said. \"Ireland does not do deals with taxpayers.\" Analysis: Simon Jack, business editor Although it will be years before this case is settled, the tax landscape is already changing. The Commission may end up losing this particular battle but there is progress in the international war against tax avoidance. The notoriously complex \"double Irish\" tax structure is being phased out, the OECD's work on preventing profit shifting to low tax areas is being fairly widely adopted and companies are even moving their headquarters to places where they have a real physical business (Mcdonalds from Luxembourg to the UK for example). And, if Donald Trump does cut US taxes from 35% to 15% as he hinted during his campaign, the sea of US corporate cash lapping around the shores of Ireland and Luxembourg may start flooding back home. Read more from Simon, here: Apple's general counsel Bruce Sewell told the Reuters news agency that the commission had disregarded tax experts brought in by Irish authorities. \"Apple is not an outlier in any sense that matters to the law. Apple is a convenient target because it generates lots of headlines,\" Mr Sewell said. Even if Apple lost its appeal, the record tax bill should not be a problem for iPhone maker, which saw a net profit of $53bn in the 2015 financial year.

She was taken to a police cell, where a female officer says she was found \"close to death\" suspended from the cell door by her blouse. Police at first said it was suicide but forensic tests suggest she was killed. Officers took her to hospital but doctors said that when they examined her, she was already dead. Ms Martínez's death in custody triggered a number of protests when it was first reported but outrage has grown since the preliminary post-mortem examination concluded that there were \"strong indications\" that her death was a \"homicide\". What happened? Ms Martínez, who was in the final year of her studies to become a nurse, was spending the weekend in her hometown of La Esperanza. Her family says she went out with friends on Saturday evening. She was stopped in a car with a doctor friend of hers late that night. Police allege that they established that as the two were not returning from work, they were in breach of the night-time curfew. The officers also claimed that she was drunk, something her family has questioned, saying that she had not been drinking at dinner. She and her friend were arrested and detained in separate cells at the local police station. According to the police report, she was found \"trying to take her own life\" by an officer on a routine round later that night. The officer said she was still alive but doctors declared her dead on arrival at the hospital. From the start, the student's aunt questioned official accounts which alleged that Ms Martínez had killed herself. The results of the preliminary post-mortem examination have since suggested that the student's death was due to \"mechanical asphyxiation\" and that it was likely to have been a homicide. Women's rights groups have called for justice both in street protests and on social media under the hashtag #JusticiaParaKeyla (#JusticeForKeyla). The case has also attracted attention beyond Honduras with Amnesty International demanding a \"prompt, exhaustive and impartial investigation\". The attorney-general's office has asked that it be granted access to the police officers who were at the station while Ms Martínez was in detention in order to question them. It has also asked for any CCTV footage which might show the student before or after her arrest to be made available to them. Allegations of police brutality have led to protests in a number of Latin American countries in recent months. There were protests in Chile over the fatal shooting of a street performer by a police officer just last week. And in 2019, the killing of a young protester in Colombia triggered weeks of street protests.",

            "input": "Days later, as the week drew to a close, Justine Damond's killing was still dominating the news in her home country - and there were only more questions. How had the former veterinarian from Sydney's northern beaches been shot by a policeman after simply trying to report a potential crime? It was branded an \"American nightmare\" in consecutive front page headlines in Sydney's Daily Telegraph newspaper. Writing in the Sydney Morning Herald, columnist Paul McGeough lamented that Minneapolis authorities were \"not joining the dots\" over how Officer Mohamed Noor had come to fire his weapon. \"Damond can't tell us what happened in a darkened alley - because she died, after taking a bullet in the abdomen,\" he wrote. \"And the man who seemingly admits to pulling the trigger is refusing to be interviewed - that's his constitutional right, we're told.\" Close to home For many Australians, the controversy surrounding police shootings in the US is a familiar topic - it often features in the news. But the shooting of a local woman as she sought assistance in her pyjamas brings home an extra emotional reality, according to Dr David Smith, a US studies expert at the University of Sydney. \"Australians are well aware that police shootings happen in the United States and that a large amount of people die,\" he said. \"[However] it's very unusual that an Australian would be involved.\" Police shootings in Australia are relatively rare. According to an Australian Institute of Criminology study, 105 people were shot dead by police in Australia between 1989 and 2011. In comparison, Ms Damond was the 541st victim of a police shooting in the US in 2017 alone, according to the Washington Post. Shootings in general are significantly lower in Australia, and debate over gun ownership is not as polarising. In 1996, then-Prime Minister John Howard, a conservative, successfully banned automatic and semi-automatic weapons after a shooting in Tasmania that killed 35 people. Dr Smith believes that Australians have long been familiar with these differences. \"I think that is very shocking to have an Australian involved in this [incident], but I doubt that this changes the way that Australians see the US because we are aware of these issues,\" he said. Outpouring of grief Beneath a rising sun on Wednesday, relatives and friends of Ms Damond gathered in silence for a vigil at Freshwater Beach in Sydney. It was not far from where Justine Ruszczyk, as she is also known, had lived before moving to the US to be with her fiance, Don Damond. She had gone to high school in a neighbouring suburb. The group of about 300 people lit candles before a gong sounded and one of her friends began playing a didgeridoo. Attendees - including her father, John Ruszczyk, and brother, Jason - released pink flowers into the sea. The same day, Australian Prime Minister Malcolm described the yoga instructor's killing as shocking and inexplicable. He told a national television programme that he was \"demanding answers\". Two days later, Minneapolis Police Chief Janee Harteau held a press briefing and acknowledged that the shooting should not have happened. \"I want to assure Justine's family, our community and those in Australia that I will do everything in my power to ensure due process is followed and justice is served,\" she said.",

In past years, thousands have gathered in the towns and cities that are home to England's largest Sikh communities. But now gurdwaras have found ways to take Vaisakhi into people's homes. Two of the biggest events that would have been held later this month were in London's Trafalgar Square, where more than 30,000 have gathered in past years, and Birmingham's Handsworth Park, where up to 100,000 people were expected. Celebrations in Leicester, Southall and Gravesend have also been brought to a halt. In London, cultural advisor to the mayor, Manraj Singh Othi, said while Vaisakhi had brought together Londoners, Sikhs and non-Sikhs alike, public safety came first. Those feelings were echoed by the Council of Sikh Gurdwaras in Birmingham - and in Southall, west London, gurdwara general secretary Navraj Singh added: \"No event in the Sikh calendar should endanger lives.\" At any other time, celebrations would have included colourful street processions, or nagar kirtans, and free food, or langar, as well as cultural activities including arts, crafts, entertainment and martial arts. But this year, religious worship has moved online and the Sikh practice of offering food was set to be taken out to the community, as people self-isolated and stayed at home. In Leicester, that initiative has been backed by the Leicestershire Police Sikh Association, which has been helping to cook and deliver meals, distributing between 300 and 400 meals to people each day. Meanwhile virtual worship included prayers direct from the Golden Temple in Amritsar streamed by Sikh2Inspire, meditation and talks by Basics of Sikhi, and a digital mass prayer on Monday, organised by Digi Sangat. But there have still been mixed feelings. In Hayes, also in west London, volunteer Sundeep Kaur Gosal said she missed the vulnerable people she would usually help with her \"mind and heart\", while Nari Sohal, from Slough, who volunteers for the charity Swat, said: \"Life feels like it's at a standstill.\" However, as reports emerged that ethnic minority communities were being hit hardest by covid-19, Harjinder Panesar, chairwoman of Harrow Sikhs, said she was relieved events had been cancelled, adding: \"We can return next year when we have a vaccination.\" Sukhjeevan Singh, from the Sikh Council UK, said special food production guidance compiled by the Sikh Doctors Association had been issued to gurdwaras during the pandemic. Before the covid-19 crisis, gurdwaras already had \"langar-managers\" who had food hygiene training, allergen awareness, and food handling and hygiene policies in place, he added. He said gurdwaras serving langar registered their facilities with their local authorities in a similar way to restaurants. In Gravesend, Kent, the gurdwara had expected about 10,000 people to celebrate Vaisakhi. Newly-elected president Manpreet Singh Dhaliwal said, along with the virtual prayers and food deliveries, the gurdwara had been taking langar to NHS workers in several hospitals nearby. Gravesend priest Giani Amerjit Singh said it was to say \"thank you to all these people working on the frontline\". Hardev Singh Sohal, from Liverpool's United Sikh Association and Guru Nanak Gurdwara, said: \"We believe the whole human race is one. We are all equal. Our religion believes in service and humanity. We help everybody.\" He said all gurdwaras in Liverpool remained closed and this year he would be spending Vaisakhi at home with his daughter.",

It will be up to venues to decide their precise opening dates for wedding ceremonies and whether they want to provide facilities for wedding receptions.

And it is a word guaranteed to be at the centre of the debate ahead of October's presidential elections. It touches everybody since the price of just about everything in Argentina is rising. But there is disagreement over by how much and over why. The official statistics office, Indec, says inflation last year was a little over 10%. But many economists, opposition politicians and shoppers dispute that figure, believing the true figure to be between 25% and 30%. If that's the case then inflation in Argentina is among the highest in the world. Recent Indec figures say the cost of the basic food basket for a family of four remained the same in February as it was in January. But critics say the government is very selective about what it puts in that basket. Most Argentine shoppers would agree. \"I notice a difference every time I go shopping,\" says Beatriz, a mother of two. \"Especially dairy products.\" 'Hitting poor' One of the biggest defenders of the official rate of inflation is Commerce Secretary Guillermo Moreno, who has fined at least three independent economic consultants for publishing figures that dispute those released by the government. A government statement said the companies' figures lacked scientific rigour and could deceive and confuse. \"The government still has inflation under control. Inflation is better than recession. Most people here are doing alright,\" Newspaper editor Sergio Kiernan says. The argument among those who support President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner's government is that wages are rising above the rate of inflation. The restaurants and cafes are still full, people are buying new televisions and vehicle sales last year broke all records and are expected to do the same again this year. Economy Minister Amado Boudou consistently tells the media that inflation is not a problem and his government has it under control. \"When there's a problem with prices, the government comes out to attack it,\" he says. Mr Boudou angered many in Argentina when last year he said that inflation didn't affect large sectors of society. He said it might only have an impact on the upper middle class. Political analyst Felipe Noguera disagrees. \"High inflation hits the poor because it causes food prices to rise,\" he says. 'Dramatic' inflation Monica Guglielmini runs a haberdashery near the centre of Buenos Aires. \"Inflation is something that everyone who comes in here complains about,\" she says. \"It's also difficult for me to plan anything. The price of stock goes up, so does the rent and if you've got employees, they expect their wages to go up to keep pace.\" Monica, who previously worked in the banking industry, adds: \"Inflation makes Argentina less credible. Foreigners don't invest here and those Argentines with money take it abroad.\" A recent US Department of State report referred to what it called \"the dramatic rise in the level of inflation in recent years\". Concern over inflation, the report said, \"may diminish the attractiveness of prospective investments in some sectors\". Some blame Argentina's inflation on the lack of long-term investment in the country, both foreign and national. One report estimates that in the past two years Argentines have shifted about $12bn (£7bn) abroad. Boom-and-bust economy Others say it is because the government is spending from the central reserves, while some point the finger at speculators who put up prices in anticipation of more inflation - thus putting pressure on others to put their prices up too. But business leaders have recently issued a statement firmly putting the blame on the government. It said: \"The main cause of inflation is public spending.\" With the elections looming in October, most analysts predict that government spending will increase. The powerful trade unions are calling for wage increases of between 20% and 30%. Argentina has a boom-and-bust economy. Older people remember the hyper-inflation crisis of 1989 when prices rose by the day, provinces issued their own currencies and savings rapidly lost their value. The economy, thanks largely to soya exports, has emerged from the last major economic and social upheavals of 2001-2002, which was also followed by a period of inflation. Inflation, despite government reassurances, makes many Argentine retailers nervous, and they're tempted to put their prices up. Meanwhile, the government is forced to work harder to convince shoppers, who in October become voters, that they have the economy under control.",

He has written to St Asaph City Council asking for the removal of a monument in the city and signed a petition for the removal of another in Denbigh. On Sunday, Black Lives Matter demonstrators tore down the statue of slave trader Edward Colston in Bristol. Calls have been made to remove other memorials around the UK which honour people with links to slavery and racism. It follows protests around the world after George Floyd, an unarmed black man, died in police custody in Minneapolis in the United States. The bishop had voiced concerns when the St Asaph statue was first erected at the cathedral in 2011. In a letter to the Daily Post newspaper, he said: \"Exactly what do we commemorate in the life of Henry Morton Stanley, born John Rowlands? \"He was an adventurer, who had little respect for the natives of Africa, and who shared in management of one of the most atrocious and exploitative colonial endeavours ever in that vast continent, the enslaving of an entire population to service the wealth creation of King Leopold II of the Belgians through the production of rubber.\" In his letter to St Asaph City Council, the bishop said: \"Current affairs amply demonstrate the anger and distress caused by the celebration of racist and colonialist pioneers, I would like to suggest to you that the time has come to remove the offence of this monument. \"I would like to feel that St Asaph City Council would be willing to identify with the \"Black Lives Matter\" campaign by making the highly symbolic gesture of putting this monument out of sight, and taking a stand for equality and diversity.\" Stanley, who was born in Denbigh in 1841, became famous for trekking through African jungle to find Scottish explorer Dr David Livingstone, and greeting him with the famous words: \"Dr Livingstone, I presume?\" In 2010, 50 eminent people, including travel writer Jan Morris and poet Benjamin Zephaniah, signed a letter of protest against the Denbigh statue, saying his expeditions contributed to the \"racist\" ideas of the day.",

Danny Blanchflower, who previously served on the rate-setting Monetary Policy Committee, said Joanna Place should step down following the breach. The Bank of England refused to comment. Many Bank press conferences are broadcast via video, but there is also a back-up audio feed in case of problems. The audio is available between five and eight seconds before the video. It meant that high-speed financial traders had access to the words of Governor Mark Carney and his officials before their remarks were more widely broadcast. Ms Place reports directly to Mr Carney and has had responsibility for information security since July 2017. Mr Blanchflower said: \"The question I ask is did the chief operating officer at the Bank of England know that access was being sold? If so, she should resign. And if she didn't know she should resign as well. \"I just don't know how her position is maintained because this could have created a lot of harm. People could have made a lot of money.\" The Bank of England said it had disabled the audio supplier's access. The hijacking of the audio feed, first reported in the Times, gave an advantage to high-speed traders, such as currency speculators, who can make millions of pounds on tiny market moves. Comments from Bank officials about market sensitive matters such as interest rate decisions can affect the value of sterling and other market assets within fractions of a second. The Times said it understood that the eavesdropping on the press conferences had been happening at least since the beginning of this year. Mr Blanchflower said the \"astonishing\" revelation was \"a stain\" on Mr Carney as he prepares to step down as Governor on 31 January. Commenting on who could be in line to replace Mr Carney, Mr Blanchflower said his \"old graduate school room mate\" Gerard Lyons, who was Prime Minister Boris Johnson's former chief economist when he was Mayor of London, may \"rise to the top of pack\". Investigation The Bank of England said the leak \"was wholly unacceptable use of the audio feed\" and the way hedge funds were allowed to make use of it was \"without the Bank's knowledge or consent, and is being investigated further\". The matter has been referred to the market regulator, the Financial Conduct Authority, which told the BBC it was \"looking at the issue\". Being able to hear the press conference early would provide an unfair advantage. Interest rates, economic guidance, and the financial health of banks and the markets are frequently discussed at the press conferences. The Bank sets rates eight times a year and holds a press conference on four of those occasions. A report on financial stability comes out twice, which also includes a press conference. All of this is broadcast on video provided by Bloomberg, which is shared to other news outlets. The company that provides the audio feed, which is separate from the video feed, has not been identified. A spokesperson from Bloomberg confirmed to the BBC that the company does not provide the audio. \"Bloomberg provides a distinct and independent video feed for the BoE's press conferences. This is completely separate to the backup audio feed.\" Why do those few seconds matter? The pronouncements of central bank chiefs can sound like boring technical gobbledy-gook. But every word, every nuance, is carefully studied by financial markets for the slightest hint about the Bank's intentions and can cause big movements in the value of the pound and government bonds. So getting wind of any potential future changes, even a few seconds ahead of the rest of the market, could be extremely valuable. Computerised trading programs can execute thousands of transactions a second, so the four-to-eight second advantage enjoyed by those traders accessing the back-up audio feed is a vast amount of time in terms of market movements. The Bank of England is usually very careful in managing the dissemination of sensitive information and the Bank was keen to stress that the information breach did not apply to the release of decisions on interest rates - just the press conferences afterwards. But those press conferences can - and do - move markets so this is still an embarrassing admission. The Times said it had seen documents revealing how the service was sold on to traders. The supply cost between £2,500 and £5,000 each press conference for each client in addition to a subscription fee. Automated options It is unclear whether the leaked audio feed was used by traditional traders at their desks to steal a march on rivals, or whether algorithm-driven software, that can conduct thousands of transactions a second, could be used to exploit those few seconds advantage. Hypothetically a computer program could be designed to pick out key words from the Bank Governor's comments and trade on them. But central bankers are notoriously euphemistic. \"[Early access] would be more important to a traditional voice trader or hedge fund,\" says Malcolm Baker, co-Founder at FX FWD, a trading firm. \"Central bankers can speak in language that is hard to understand and there is a lot that's implied. It's like old Elizabethan language and can be misleading. A trader like me just wants to understand - is it hawkish? Or dovish?\" The Bank has not named the audio supplier, but market intelligence firm Statisma has posted a denial that it offers its customers information not available to the public. Statisma, operating under the same management as a production firm called Encoded Media, advertises on Twitter a service where traders can hear central bank announcements first. Press conferences from the European Central Bank, the US Federal Reserve and the Bank of Canada were also on offer to trading firms. Traders signed up to Statisma's service receive an email detailing the speeches with dial in numbers. In a response to several calls made from the BBC and other media outlets, it posted on its website this statement: \"We DO NOT carry embargoed information and we DO NOT release information without it first being made available to the public\". An ECB spokesman said the central bank moved to address possible issues with audio broadcasts in September, effectively delaying the feed. \"Since September this year the ECB offers a low latency audio feed for each monetary policy press conference to address exactly the issues that were in the news today. \"Therefore, it doesn't make any sense for anyone to use commercially offered solutions because the solution we offer is the fastest option available and it is free for everyone,\" the spokesman said.",

Just every hill was covered with flowers. It was absolutely stunning,\" says Mayor Tisdale. \"People started pulling off the road to come and look at the flowers. \"It started this social media frenzy,\" he says. Listen to this story Download the Trending podcast from the BBC World Service The hashtag was #Superbloom. Attracted by social media - and old-school media as well - Walker Canyon became a tourist attraction, causing queues on the nearby highway and gridlock in Lake Elsinore itself. Influencers - and some unfamous social media users as well - took photos while trampling the flowers, going off the trail and picking the blooming poppies, all of which are against the park's rules. At one point, authorities were even forced to temporarily close Walker Canyon. The crowds kept coming until the flowers faded away into summer. Blooming backlash The superbloom sent Steve's account viral. His fans sent in dozens of photos of people in Walker Canyon breaking the rules. He now has more than 75,000 followers - ironically making him something of an influencer himself. He's not alone.

Steve got in touch in the comments section, calling him up on picking and walking over the flowers. Jae thought about it - and posted an apology. \"Each year hundreds of people come and destroy these flowers,\" he wrote. \"I'm posting this in hopes of educating the next person who goes to take photos near them and not trample over the flowers like I did.\" Name and shame Not everyone is so accommodating. If Steve is blocked or ignored, he reposts the photo, and contacts companies who sponsor the offending Instagrammer. \"The most efficient tool in our fast-paced and ever-evolving social media culture is calling out illegal and harmful behaviour,\" he argues. And, unsurprisingly, that's earned him a few opponents. Ania Bonyetska works with her husband to post stunning images from all across the globe. She has over 100,000 Instagram followers. \"A lot of our work revolves around travel and taking photos in beautiful places,\" she explains. Walker Canyon's 2019 superbloom was, she says, a \"must see\". She visited and shared three posts including this one: They got the attention of Steve's fans. While Ania says she never got a message from him, Steve says he did try to get in touch. Ania's photo went up on Public Lands Hate You. \"As soon as they posted,\" Ania recalls, \"we got a flood of incoming hate.\" She is adamant she didn't do anything wrong, and she filed a copyright complaint to Instagram to get her photo taken down from Public Lands Hate You. \"As much as I agree with the underlying message, I don't think that they are effective,\" she contends. \"I think that they create insane division of opinions.\" Undaunted Steve says he discourages harassment and tells his followers to stay respectful. But when it comes to his core mission, he's not backing down. His latest project is a \"bad influencer list\" - a roll call of repeat offenders. \"The idea is for it to be a resource to companies, as well as a deterrent to influencers who use our public lands in illegal and harmful ways,\" he says. \"Word is getting around in influencer circles that there's this grassroots group… who are fed up with their behaviour,\" he notes. \"The tide is still headed in the wrong direction, but it is starting to turn.\" Additional reporting by Mike Wendling Is there a story we should be investigating?

            "input": "By Jim ReedReporter, Victoria Derbyshire programme The legal action is aiming to establish the drivers with worker status, rather than as self-employed customers or partners - which is how Uber sees them. The first four cases were lodged last week, arguing the company is breaching its duty on basic rights. Uber says most of its drivers want the flexibility its approach offers. Drivers pay a fee to use the Uber technology. When a job comes up the nearest driver is offered it, otherwise it goes to the next person. For this, Uber takes a fee of 20%, soon to rise to 25% for new drivers. Employment lawyer Nigel Mackay, who is representing the drivers, said Uber was not complying with employment law. Find out more Watch Jim Reed's film about Uber here. \"What we want to do is try and ensure these drivers get workers' rights, the rights that anyone who works is entitled to. Things like minimum wage, the right to paid holiday,\" he said. He added that the ways in which Uber controlled its drivers - including the provision of initial training, guides as to which routes to take and requirements for minimum hours - meant they were not just self-employed. Mr Mackay said there were also serious health and safety issues as currently Uber did not ensure its drivers take rest breaks or work a maximum number of hours per week. \"A lot of these workers work 50, 60, 70 hours per week - they should be entitled to paid time off for doing that work,\" he said. \"I think it's true that there's a real risk to health and safety if drivers are being pushed by circumstance to drive these long hours - because they are not sitting in an office, it is a potentially dangerous job.\" James's experience James Farrar has worked for Uber since last December. \"I joined because I was working on a start-up so I needed the flexibility to work when I wanted, while having the remainder free for research and writing. The flexibility with Uber is really great. \"The only problem is that when you're not working you're not earning and your earnings are so much lower than I expected. It's really starting to bite now. \"It's more difficult to make money than six months ago. There's a certain amount of money [I want to be earning] each day and I just need to stay out longer and longer to earn it. \"My average pay in July was £5.03 an hour, well below the minimum wage. So if you want to cover your costs and keep the family afloat, you've got to work a lot of hours. \"I wouldn't want to be picked up myself by somebody who has worked 18 hours a day. Since we are self-employed, Uber does not take responsibility for that occupational risk. \"I could get another job, but Uber has so aggressively come into the market, the chances of working for other operators are rapidly evaporating.\" GMB, the union that represents professional drivers, has instructed Leigh Day to take the action on behalf of its members driving for Uber. The first cases were submitted to the London Central Employment Tribunal. The law firm says it will be submitting further claims and will be asking the tribunal to hear them all together. Uber describes itself as a \"fully licenced\" service that connects potential passengers with a background-checked private driver and takes a cut - typically 20% - of the fee. It currently operates in 10 cities in the UK. It had 7,000 drivers in London in 2014, a number which has risen to 20,000 this year. Flexibility Uber says the drivers are self-employed not workers and therefore and therefore they do not have to guarantee them a minimum wage. Uber's regional general manager, Jo Bertram, said most of its drivers had moved from traditional jobs with prescribed shifts as they wanted the flexibility Uber's approach offered. \"The fact you can work literally whenever you want, spend time with kids, you can build business on the side. That's the flexibility the majority of Uber drivers are looking for,\" she said. She added the company looked at how much money the drivers took home very carefully. \"What we find is drivers using the app actually take home around £15 or £16 an hour. Obviously their costs vary hugely depending on whether they rent or own and a number of other factors, but the majority are actually making around £10/12 per hour even after costs.\" The Victoria Derbyshire programme is broadcast on weekdays between 09:15 and 11:00 on BBC Two and the BBC News Channel.",

Adam Purinton has been charged with premeditated first-degree murder. The killing dominated news bulletins in India and social media, where some blamed Donald Trump's presidency. Mr Kuchibhotla's wife, Sunayana Dumala, described her husband as a \"loveable soul\". Speaking at a news conference, she described the US as \"the country that he loved so much\" and called the shooting a \"hate crime\". White House spokesman Sean Spicer said that any loss of life was tragic but that it would be absurd to link events to Mr Trump's rhetoric. The FBI is now investigating possible motives for the crime at Austins Bar and Grill, with race among them. Witnesses said that just before opening fire the gunman shouted: \"Get out of my country.\" A barman also told local media that the attacker used racial slurs before the shooting on Wednesday night. Mr Kuchibhotla and Mr Madasani, both aged 32, were engineers at US technology company Garmin. The two studied initially in India and later took postgraduate degrees in the US. Mr Madasani has now been released from hospital. The other injured man, Ian Grillot, 24, said he was shot while intervening to try and stop the violence. Speaking from his hospital bed, he brushed aside suggestions that he was a hero. \"I was just doing what anyone should have done for another human being,\" he said. The suspect allegedly fled on foot and was arrested five hours later at a restaurant just over the state border, 80 miles (130km) away in Clinton, Missouri. He told a bartender there that he had just killed two Middle Eastern men, the Kansas City Star reported without naming its sources. Mr Kuchibhotla was from the Indian city of Hyderabad. His parents, Madhusudhan Rao and Vardhini Rao, were too stunned by news of his death to comment, the Associated Press reported. Mr Madasani's father, Jaganmohan Reddy, called it a hate crime. After the shooting, Indian actor Siddharth tweeted to his 2.6m followers: \"Don't be shocked! Be angry! Trump is spreading hate. This is a hate crime! RIP #SrinivasKuchibhotla.\" At the scene: Rajini Vaidyanathan, BBC News, Olathe, Kansas For Sunayana Dumala, the grief of losing the man she loved is still raw. \"Only good things happen to good people,\" was a mantra her husband Srinivas Kutchibhotla used to utter. Since his fatal shooting on Wednesday, these words are hard for Sunayana to comprehend. As she addressed a news conference in Olathe, the place she's made home, she revealed her concerns about living in the United States, telling the room she had experienced racism in the past. She called on the US government to do more to stop hate crimes. It's still unclear what caused her husband's killer to pull the trigger. But this loss has left Sunayana and her friends and family questioning their place in the United States. Follow Rajini's updates from Kansas Indian consular officials have been sent to Kansas City to meet Mr Madasani and arrange the repatriation of Mr Kuchibhotla's body. The Indian consul general, Anupam Ray, told the BBC: \"We would like to reassure the Indian community that this is being personally monitored at the highest level by Indian External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj from Delhi.\" The US Embassy in Delhi decried the shooting. \"The United States is a nation of immigrants and welcomes people from across the world to visit, work, study, and live,\" said Charge d'Affaires MaryKay Carlson. \"US authorities will investigate thoroughly and prosecute the case, though we recognise that justice is small consolation to families in grief.\" Mr Purinton, 51, was extradited to Kansas on Friday. A crowdfunding campaign set up by a friend to support Mr Kuchibhotla's family has already raised more than $493,000 (£396,000) after donations poured in from thousands of people. A separate appeal to pay for Mr Grillot's medical costs has raised more than $214,000. A vigil held at a Baptist church close to Austins Bar and Grill brought together many people from the local Indian community for an inter-faith service. It ended with everyone singing Stand By Me and holding candles, our correspondent reports. A community shaken - Brajesh Upadhyay, BBC Hindi, Washington The attack has drawn a strong response in the Indian media, with most calling it a hate crime. \"The president now has blood on his hands\", one headline said. The same outlets have also lauded the American man who tried to help the engineers and suffered bullet wounds. He's been called a hero. Many in the Indian community in the US have voiced concerns over Mr Trump's diatribes against Muslims and foreign workers accused of stealing American jobs. Such statements have led to anxiety among the thousands of Indian technology workers who have come to the US. There's generally been a belief in the community that Indians have gelled well into mainstream America and will not be targeted. That belief may have been shaken, if not totally shattered, by this shooting.",

North Korea has previously said it will not accept any preconditions. \"We will see if Pyongyang's message... that it is willing to hold talks, represents the first steps along the path to denuclearization,\" the US said. Reports about the North's willingness to speak to the US emerged after a meeting of its officials with the South Korean president before the Games' closing ceremony on Sunday. US President Donald Trump's daughter Ivanka also attended the ceremony but she is not expected to talk with any North Koreans, even though she sat a few feet from their main envoy, Gen Kim Yong-chol, at the Olympic Stadium. North Korea's mixed messages North Korea was \"very willing\" to hold talks with the US, said the office of South Korean President Moon Jae-in. It added that the North had \"agreed that inter-Korea talks and North-US relations should improve together\". The revelation from the South Korean presidency came hours after a furious statement from the North that described fresh sanctions announced by Washington as \"an act of war\". Pyongyang's foreign ministry praised the way the two Koreas had co-operated together during the Olympics but said the US had \"brought the threat of war to the Korean peninsula with large-scale new sanctions\". The Korean peninsula has been divided since the 1950-53 war and the two sides have never signed a peace treaty. The rapprochement between the two Koreas has been seen as a move by the North to drive a wedge between the South and the US. Experts have cautioned that the latest developments do not put an end to underlying regional tensions, particularly following last year's nuclear and missile tests carried out by the North. Could there be a breakthrough this time? South Korean media is abuzz with suggestions that North-US talks could still take place while the respective delegations are in town. The BBC's Laura Bicker, in Pyeongchang, asked an official from South's government if the meeting could take place in the next two days, and the answer was: \"We will see.\" North Korea has sent an eight-person team across the border, including Gen Kim Choe Kang-il, a senior diplomat handling North American affairs. Meanwhile, Allison Hooker - a Koreas specialist from the US National Security Council - is part of the US delegation. She met Gen Kim in 2014 in North Korea, as the US tried to free two American detainees. The scene could be set for a more low-key meeting than a failed attempt with US Vice-President Mike Pence. He had been set to meet Kim Yo-jong, the sister of North Korean President Kim Jong-un, at the start of the Games but the meeting was cancelled inexplicably by the North Koreans, according to the US officials.

The Northern Powerhouse, a group working to redress North-South economic imbalance, says pupils in the North face the most disruption over Covid-19. The government said some pupils were self-isolating \"as we would expect\". The Department for Education said 55% of secondaries and 20% of primaries in England reported having one or more pupils self-isolating due to potential contact with a case of coronavirus in the school. This is up from 46% and 16% respectively on the previous week. Overall attendance at primary school fell from 92% in the week ending 15 October to 90% in the week ending 22 October. But the drop on the previous week's attendance was most significant in secondary schools, falling from 87% to 83%. If you are a parent tell us how your child has experienced school disruption: However, \"the vast majority of these schools remain open to most pupils\", the DfE said. Geoff Barton, head of the school leaders' union ASCL, said the figures painted a \"grim picture of the increasingly challenging picture facing schools\". Children in the north As attendance rates fall, there are growing concerns that pupils in the north of England are missing more school than their peers in other parts of the country. Analysis from the North West Association of the Directors of Children's Services, seen exclusively by the BBC, reveals the pressures. In mid-October Bury, Knowsley, Liverpool and Manchester all had more than 40% of schools with confirmed cases - some of these were among teachers. According to the report, which is based on a snapshot of 16 October, there were 710 teachers with a positive test for coronavirus in the North West - this was 35% of the total of confirmed cases among teachers across England on that day. The Northern Powerhouse wants next year's exams ditched in favour of coursework, saying pupils in the north of England had been particularly badly affected by disruption to their schooling. But the government says exams are \"the fairest way\" of judging performance and ministers have said exams will go ahead in summer 2021, with a three-week delay. It pointed out that some areas in the North had attendance rates for secondary school as low as 61%, whereas others in the South were close to the usual national figure of 95%. It added: \"We appreciate the government's desire to try and keep things as normal as possible, but this is now unrealistic in many northern communities. \"We urge the government to commit to continuous assessment as it is a fairer alternative to the proposed examination plan.\" The government is consulting on contingency measures to manage any disruption to GCSEs, A-levels and BTecs in 2021, and has said it will produce plans before Christmas. A DfE spokesperson said: \"Exams are the fairest way of judging a student's performance, which is why they will go ahead next year, underpinned by contingency measures developed in partnership with the sector. \"Over the coming weeks we will jointly identify any risks to exams and the measures needed to address potential disruption, with fairness for students continuing to be our priority.\" The spokesperson added that schools had plans in place to deliver remote education for self-isolating pupils and the government was providing an initial additional allocation of 150,000 devices for eligible children. The CEO of Ormiston Academy Trust, Nick Hudson, urged the government to publish data on attendance broken down by local authority, amid concern that pupils in the worst-affected areas might be falling further behind. \"To be fair to young people the data needs to be transparent, then we can ensure that we put as much equity into the system, especially those sitting exams,\" he said. \"If we experience the same levels of staff absence as we have in the first half-term between now and the end of term, it would be very difficult to ensure consistent education for all of our pupils in all of our schools - that would mean looking at the possibility of rotas.\"",

Researchers were amazed at how easily cows accepted the presence of the robot. They were not fazed by it and the herding process was calm and effective, they said. Because the robot moved in a steady manner it allowed cows to move at their own speed which was important in reducing lameness among cattle, Dr Kendra Kerrisk, dairy researcher and associate professor, told the BBC. Robots are already used in the milking process but the team wanted to see if they could be used in other areas of dairy farming. The robot was adapted from one that was already being used to monitor fruit and trees on farms. A team at Sydney University's Centre for Field Robotics modified the robot so that it could be put in a field with cows in order for the researchers to gather data on robot-bovine interaction. The prototype needs to be operated by a human but it's hoped that in the future a version can be developed that will be fully automated. Extremely excited As well as herding cows a new version could also collect information useful for farmers. According to the research team, the robot could be used at night to move slowly through the maternity paddock monitoring cows that are due to calve. It could also be used to gather data on soil and detect problems with electric fences. \"The research is in its very early stages but robotic technologies certainly have the potential to transform dairy farming,\" said Dr Kerrisk. \"When we have discussed this concept with farmers they have been extremely excited and we have had a flurry of calls and emails asking how they can get hold of one,\" she added. The robot could also cut down the number of accidents involving humans on farms.

            "input": "By Jason PalmerScience and technology reporter, BBC News The Amondawa lacks the linguistic structures that relate time and space - as in our idea of, for example, \"working through the night\". The study, in Language and Cognition, shows that while the Amondawa recognise events occuring in time, it does not exist as a separate concept. The idea is a controversial one, and further study will bear out if it is also true among other Amazon languages. The Amondawa were first contacted by the outside world in 1986, and now researchers from the University of Portsmouth and the Federal University of Rondonia in Brazil have begun to analyse the idea of time as it appears in Amondawa language. \"We're really not saying these are a 'people without time' or 'outside time',\" said Chris Sinha, a professor of psychology of language at the University of Portsmouth. \"Amondawa people, like any other people, can talk about events and sequences of events,\" he told BBC News. \"What we don't find is a notion of time as being independent of the events which are occuring; they don't have a notion of time which is something the events occur in.\" The Amondawa language has no word for \"time\", or indeed of time periods such as \"month\" or \"year\". The people do not refer to their ages, but rather assume different names in different stages of their lives or as they achieve different status within the community. But perhaps most surprising is the team's suggestion that there is no \"mapping\" between concepts of time passage and movement through space. Ideas such as an event having \"passed\" or being \"well ahead\" of another are familiar from many languages, forming the basis of what is known as the \"mapping hypothesis\". But in Amondawa, no such constructs exist. \"None of this implies that such mappings are beyond the cognitive capacities of the people,\" Professor Sinha explained. \"It's just that it doesn't happen in everyday life.\" When the Amondawa learn Portuguese - which is happening more all the time - they have no problem acquiring and using these mappings from the language. The team hypothesises that the lack of the time concept arises from the lack of \"time technology\" - a calendar system or clocks - and that this in turn may be related to the fact that, like many tribes, their number system is limited in detail. Absolute terms These arguments do not convince Pierre Pica, a theoretical linguist at France's National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS), who focuses on a related Amazonian language known as Mundurucu. \"To link number, time, tense, mood and space by a single causal relationship seems to me hopeless, based on the linguistic diversity that I know of,\" he told BBC News. Dr Pica said the study \"shows very interesting data\" but argues quite simply that failing to show the space/time mapping does not refute the \"mapping hypothesis\". Small societies like the Amondawa tend to use absolute terms for normal, spatial relations - for example, referring to a particular river location that everyone in the culture will know intimately rather than using generic words for river or riverbank. These, Dr Pica argued, do not readily lend themselves to being co-opted in the description of time. \"When you have an absolute vocabulary - 'at the water', 'upstream', 'downstream' and so on, you just cannot use it for other domains, you cannot use the mapping hypothesis in this way,\" he said. In other words, while the Amondawa may perceive themselves moving through time and spatial arrangements of events in time, the language may not necessarily reflect it in an obvious way. What may resolve the conflict is further study, Professor Sinha said. \"We'd like to go back and simply verify it again before the language disappears - before the majority of the population have been brought up knowing about calendar systems.\"",

Not so much because of the protests that have swept the country, but because life in Medinat-al-Leyl has become harder. Prices are rising, and security problems and roadblocks across the country are making it more difficult for Sleiman to deliver goods. \"People are hoarding. They are buying supplies for two months ahead just in case,\" he says. Cut taxes Medina al-Leyl epitomises many of Yemen's problems - the neighbourhood has no running water, streets are filthy, malnutrition is widespread. Aid agencies say that because of the current crisis tens of thousands are already unable to buy food, and economists warn that Yemen's fragile economy is on the road to collapse. When anti-government protests first began two months ago, President Saleh introduced a number of reforms. Ignoring those who warned him against spending money the Yemeni government didn't have, Mr Saleh cut taxes, increased salaries of government officials and created public sector jobs. When economic incentives failed to calm the protests, the government called on people to hold rival rallies. \"When you are the president with access to the central bank, of course you'll be able to bring thousands out into the streets,\" says Hameed al-Ahmar of the opposition Islah party. \"These people are paid, and when we control the central bank we will have proof of that.\" Away from the crowds chanting slogans in support of the president, three young men - who did not want to be named - confirm Mr Ahmar's theory. One boy says his father, who is a village sheikh, brought 300 people to last Friday's demonstration. The government, he says, paid for their transport and food, and each got paid the equivalent of $10 (£6) a day to attend. Another boy says he was given lunch and paid the equivalent of $10. \"Our central bank is now empty,\" he laughs. \"They will soon need more money.\" Saudis 'fed up' Diplomats in Sanaa say the central bank is printing more money to meet the government's new expenditures. Both the IMF and the World Bank also confirm the government is tapping into its reserves and that this is having a disastrous effect on the Yemeni currency - rial. Rial's value has been dropping sharply, and dollars have virtually disappeared from exchange booths and banks across the capital. In the country that imports most of its food, importers are now struggling to get letters of credit, with suppliers demanding upfront payments in full. According to the World Food Programme (WFP), the price of wheat flour has almost doubled in the past month. And while food shortages are not an immediate danger, aid agencies worry fewer people will be able to afford basic food. \"The situation is not good. If you take the global increase in food commodities, mix into it weakening rial and add to that the overall political situation, we really don't have good news,\" says Gian Carlo Cirri, of the WFP. The increased spending by the government comes as revenues have dropped. Some estimates indicate oil production has halved in the past two months, after oil companies pulled out their staff and tribesmen set ablaze an oil pipeline connecting Marib's oil fields to the Red Sea last month. While Yemen's powerful neighbour Saudi Arabia has recently poured tens of billions into Bahrain and Oman to help governments there, Riyad seems to be in no rush to come to Yemen's rescue. Many take this as a sign the Saudis have given up on the Yemeni government. \"In one of the Wikileaks, the Saudis complained that all the money they send to Yemen ends up in Swiss accounts, so they don't see the benefit of intervening, they are fed up with the current regime,\" says Sanaa-based analyst Abdel Ghani al-Iriyani. The cost of Yemen's uprising and its collapsing economy, many believe, poses the greatest threat to the country's stability. \"The government is taking measures to keep rial stable,\" says economist Mohammad al-Maitami. \"But if there is any confrontation, rial will collapse and with it Yemen will collapse.\" \"People will have no access to food and water. People will fight,\" he adds.",

But following complaints from environmental campaigners, a public inquiry has been announced. WCM said Woodhouse Colliery would \"fully conform\" to climate policy. If approved the first deep mine in the UK for 30 years would extract coking coal for the steel industry from the seabed off St Bees, with a processing plant at Kells, in Whitehaven. WCM said the mine would \"assist the steel industry migration towards the government objective of a zero net carbon emissions target by 2050\". The company said the government had twice considered \"calling in\" the application for an inquiry after plans were approved for a third time by Cumbria County Council in October, although the council has since decided to review that decision. WCM chief executive Mark Kirkbride said it was \"distressing\" that Communities Secretary Robert Jenrick had \"reversed the two previous decisions not to 'call in' the project\". Mr Jenrick claimed the U-turn had been prompted by new advice on carbon emissions from government climate advisers and said the proposal was of \"more than local importance\". \"This appears to be in response to ill-informed comments rather than complying with established policy,\" Mr Kirkbride said. He said it was \"abundantly clear\" the mine would be \"beneficial\" to the local area with the creation of jobs, as well reducing the amount of coal imported into the country. Mr Kirkbride said WCM was now preparing for the inquiry. The mine has sparked major protests from environmentalists including school-strike founder Greta Thunberg.

His main competition comes from London-born rapper Dave, whose frank and confessional debut album Psychodrama won last year's Mercury Prize. Both artists are up for four awards. But most pundits agree Capaldi will be rewarded for the success of his breakout song, Someone You Loved, and the multi-platinum sales of his debut album, Divinely Uninspired To A Hellish Extent. \"I'm just going to turn up, watch Lewis Capaldi win everything and then go home,\" joked Sam Fender, who's nominated against Capaldi in the best new artist category. Speaking to BBC Radio 1's Newsbeat, Fender acknowledged he'd beaten Capaldi in the Critics' Choice category last year, but said he didn't expect a repeat performance. \"I think they gave me that award last year because they could see 2020 coming,\" he said. \"They were like 'Oh Lewis Capaldi's going to win everything next year.' \"Even I've voted for Lewis.\" Capaldi does face stiff competition in almost every category, though. Two-time Brit Award-winner Stormzy arrives at the Brits after a triumphant 2019 which saw him headline Glastonbury and enter the charts at number two with his second album, Heavy Is The Head. Notably, his record was released in the same week as the Brits' academy cast their votes, meaning his music will have been prominent in critics' minds as they selected this year's winners. Harry Styles' second album, Fine Line, was also released to coincide with the voting window and also makes it into the best album shortlist - making him the first member of One Direction to receive that accolade. But Capaldi's biggest challenger is Dave - whose thought-provoking record Psychodrama was hailed as \"the boldest and best British rap album in a generation\" by The Guardian. If he wins album of the year, the 21-year-old, from Brixton, will become only the second artist to win both a Brit and Mercury Prize for the same record. Arctic Monkeys previously did the double with Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not. In the international categories, Billie Eilish could easily repeat her victory at the Grammys by taking home the best female prize. The star is also set to give the first performance of her James Bond theme, No Time To Die, accompanied by ex-Smiths' guitarist Johnny Marr and a 22-piece orchestra. \"I'm so scared, because we've never performed it, ever,\" she told BBC Breakfast. \"I'm hitting a note I've never hit before. I'm scared.\" Female artists sidelined Other performances on the night will come from Harry Styles, Lizzo, Stormzy, Mabel and Rod Stewart - who's reuniting with the surviving members of The Faces to close the show. Soul newcomer Celeste, who won the Brits' rising star award, will also give her first live TV performance, playing the heart-rending ballad Strange - a moment that could rival Adele's career-changing performance of Someone Like You in 2011. The ceremony takes place at London's O2 Arena, with comedian Jack Whitehall hosting for the third year running. It will be broadcast live on ITV from 20:00 GMT. The awards have been criticised for a lack of diversity, with only four women nominated across the four categories open to both male and female artists - best group, best new artist, best song and album of the year. Two of those nominations go to the same person, pop singer Mabel, while the remaining two, for Miley Cyrus and Normani, are guest vocalists on songs by Mark Ronson and Sam Smith. Geoff Taylor, chief executive of the Brits, defended the choice of nominees, saying there had been \"a lot of success for male acts in 2019\", particularly in the male-dominated grime and hip-hop genres. \"That is different to 2018. We had a really strong showing from female [nominees] last year with the same [gender] balance in the academy. So last year it was all about Dua Lipa, Anne-Marie, Jorja Smith, Florence [+ The Machine] and Jess Glynne,\" he told Music Week magazine. \"This year we've got a strong set of releases from male artists. When you look at the album of the year nominees, they all released absolutely fantastic records. \"We have an academy that's made up equally of men and women, and that academy decided that these were the best releases of this particular year. \"We need to respect that.

The Church formally adopted legislation last November to allow women bishops, following decades of argument over women's ordination. Archbishop of York John Sentamu, who led the service, said he had been \"praying and working for this day\". During the two-hour service Dr Sentamu and other bishops laid their hands on Bishop Lane and prayed. This was followed by lengthy applause. Writing in today's Yorkshire Post the archbishop said: \"It is high time we had women bishops. I have been praying and working for this day. \"In a few years' time when more and more women will be bishops, I predict we shall be wondering how we ever managed without them.\" However, in an indication that some Anglicans still oppose women's ordination, the service was briefly delayed by an opponent of the changes. The Rev Paul Williamson stepped forward shouting \"not in the Bible\" after the Archbishop of York asked the church if Mrs Lane should be ordained as a bishop. The second time Dr Sentamu asked the congregation, there was no opposition and the ceremony continued. A Church of England spokesman said of Mr Williamson, priest in charge of a church in Hanworth, Middlesex: \"He's got the right to protest but the contrast was between a lone voice protesting and a sea of voices affirming.\" 'Very emotional' Bishop Lane had said the consecration would be a very \"emotional\" moment. She said: \"It is a remarkable thing that this happens to me, and people have been very supportive of me personally, but actually this is about a moment in the Church's history.\" Speaking after the service her son Benedict said: \"We've been building up to it now for a long time and it's satisfying that it has finally happened and we are finally here. \"She's the best person for the job.\" Libby Lane has been vicar of St Peter's Hale and St Elizabeth's Ashley, in Greater Manchester, since April 2007. Analysis By Philippa Thomas, BBC News correspondent, in York At York Minster today I've met Anglican women bishops from the US, New Zealand, South Africa, Iceland, Sweden and Germany delighted to welcome her to their ranks. Retired Swedish bishop Christina Odenberg told me it was inevitable England would catch up. Meanwhile, long-time campaigner Christina Rees of Women and the Church said that, now the mother church had made this move, she felt other provinces of the Anglican Communion which had been holding back out of \"deference\" would follow suit. I was also struck by young journalist Carey Lodge of \"Christian Today\", who was born the year before the Church of England voted in favour of women priests. She said her friends were filling her social media space with tweets and updates revelling in what one woman is achieving today. All of them believed others would follow quickly. Libby Lane's former curate at Hale, Georgina Watmore, told me with a big beam on her face that she looked forward to the day when there would be a female archbishop - and \"probably in my lifetime\". Her consecration comes more than 20 years after women became priests in the Church of England. And it comes after the general synod gave the final seal of approval to the legislation on women bishops following its passage through Parliament last year. After the change was approved, Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby said that the Church was entering a \"completely new phase of our existence\". Who is the Right Reverend Libby Lane? Who is the Church of England's first female bishop? But divisions still remain between Anglicans who feel the change is consistent with their faith and traditionalists who disagree. Opponents of women bishops include some who place great importance on the laying on of hands by existing bishops in the consecration of new bishops, and wish to be looked after by bishops not affected by the involvement of women in this process. Church of England women priests 7,798 full-time C of E priests 1,781 are women 101 male C of E bishops 30 Anglican women bishops worldwide 21 years since first C of E women priests ordained A vicar from Blackburn used her service on Sunday to protest at changes being made to the consecration of the Bishop of Burnley next month. The laying on of hands on the Rev Philip North will be performed by other bishops but not by Dr Sentamu (who by then will have laid hands on Bishop Lane). Mr North opposes women bishops. Dr Sentamu said the changes to Mr North's consecration were made \"for prayer, not politics\". He pointed to the arrangements within the Church that \"a suitable supply of bishops continues\" for opponents of women's ordination. Gloucester, Oxford and Newcastle are among the dioceses where new bishops will also soon be appointed, while interviews for the vacancy as bishop for the Southwell and Nottingham diocese took place at the start of December. Anglican churches in Scotland and Wales already allow women as bishops, but have not appointed any yet.",

One of the main complaints against Facebook came from a group of Austrian students. They launched the lobby group Europe v Facebook following requests to see all the data Facebook had stored on them. After receiving CDs full of personal information, they claimed Facebook created \"shadow profiles\" on users. The audit found no evidence of this. \"People have put two and two together and made 12.

Lorde wrote that she had \"never met a hero of mine and liked it\". She described him as \"a piece of bright pleated silk we could stretch out or fold up small inside ourselves when we needed to\". See the Instagram picture of Lorde with David Bowie. The singer, now 19, had talked about the meeting once before in an interview with Rookie magazine. She explained how incredible the meeting was and that he told her that listening to her music \"felt like listening to tomorrow\". \"For some reason, we were holding hands and just staring into each other's eyes and talking, and I was like, 'This is David Bowie's hand, what am I doing?' \"It was insane. A beautiful moment,\" she said. Lorde's tribute to Davie Bowie in full When a hero dies, everyone wants a quote. I woke up this morning with a tender head from tears and that big red cup of Japanese whiskey, gulped last night just after the news came. People were already asking me what I thought. It feels kind of garish to talk about oneself at a time like this, when the thing that has happened is so distinctly world-sized. But everything I've read or seen since the news has been deeply intrinsic in tone, almost selfish, like therapy. That's who he was to all of us. He was a piece of bright pleated silk we could stretch out or fold up small inside ourselves when we needed to. Mr Bowie, I guess right now we have to hang this thing up for a minute. The night I met him I played at an expensive Vogue benefit with a lot of fresh flowers, honouring Tilda. I was not quite 17, America was very new to me, and I was distinctly uneasy and distrustful toward everything happening in my life that was putting me in these flat-voiced, narrow-eyed, champagneish rooms. I played my three songs, thrashing and twitching in platform boots. Afterward, Anna clasped my hand and said \"David wants to meet you\", and led me through people and round tables with candles and glasses and louder and louder talk, and he was there. I've never met a hero of mine and liked it. It just sucks, the pressure is too huge, you can't enjoy it. David was different. I'll never forget the caressing of our hands as we spoke, or the light in his eyes. That night something changed in me - I felt a calmness grow, a sureness. I think in those brief moments, he heralded me into my next new life, an old rock and roll alien angel in a perfect grey suit. I realised everything I'd ever done, or would do from then on, would be done like maybe he was watching. I realised I was proud of my spiky strangeness because he had been proud of his. And I know I'm never going to stop learning dances, brand new dances. It's not going to change, how we feel about him. For the rest of our lives, we'll always be crashing in that same car.

Members agreed four years ago they would all reach that target by 2024. Mr Trump had hailed \"tremendous progress\" at Nato's summit in Brussels. He has previously been highly critical of the alliance, complaining the US pays more than others. The Trump method by Jonathan Marcus, BBC diplomatic correspondent Welcome to Trump world. His press conference at Nato ranged from bluster to the bizarre but there is no doubting the president has had an effect. There was \"a new sense of urgency\" about increasing defence spending according to Jens Stoltenberg. But just how much extra money there will be and how quickly remains to be seen. Just as with his summit in North Korea, reality appears to be what President Trump decides it to be. The mere fact that the president of the alliance's essential member could even entertain the idea that the US might leave Nato is extraordinary. But by the end of the summit he said he believed in the alliance. This dissonance is at the heart of the Trump method. He gets results - or appears to - by both strengthening and weakening the alliance at the same time. Nato leaders will be glad this summit is over but remain uneasy as to just what Mr Trump might say when he meets Vladimir Putin in Helsinki. What happened in Brussels? Exactly what took place - and what was agreed - behind closed doors at the two-day Nato summit in Brussels is not known. What is known is that Mr Trump called for an emergency meeting on Thursday morning with other Nato members. Unconfirmed reports suggested Mr Trump had threatened to go it alone if other nations did not meet the alliance's target of 2% of their GDP by 2024. But by the time Mr Trump held a press conference, he was hailing the summit as a success. What is Trump's version of events? \"We made a tremendous amount of progress today,\" he said. \"It has been really amazing to see the level of spirit in that room.\" It was, he said, \"presently unnecessary\" to consider quitting Nato. He added the US commitment to Nato - which was established in 1949 with members agreeing that an attack against one would be considered an attack against them all - remained \"very strong\". Mr Trump went on to say the allies had \"substantially upped their commitment\" and would pay \"more quickly\". Mr Stoltenberg, he added, gave him \"total credit\" for the increased spending which, he said, he instigated during his first Nato meeting last year. What do others say? Mr Stoltenberg said members had had a \"frank and open discussion\" which \"created a new sense of urgency\", and that the \"clear message from President Trump\" was \"having an impact\". Italy's new Prime Minister, Giuseppe Conte, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and French President Emmanuel Macron also made it clear they had not signed up to anything more than what was agreed four years ago. \"Everyone agreed to raise spending, in line with commitments made in 2014,\" Mr Macron said, adding he was unconvinced by proposals to increase it to 4%. He said France had a clear strategy of analysing security threats and that he could not ask his government for \"tens of billions more\" beyond that. \"It's taxpayers' money we're talking about,\" he said. President Macron also said the meetings had had a different tone to Mr Trump's early morning tweets, which had been typically critical. Mr Macron said the conversations had been more respectful, according to Reuters news agency. At the meeting, Mr Trump singled out Germany for criticism over its defence spending. Some reports suggest he also shocked other leaders in the room when he turned to German Chancellor Angela Merkel and referred to her by her first name. What else was Nato talking about? The Nato leaders also turned their attention to the conflict in Afghanistan. Afghanistan's President Ashraf Ghani was present for the second day of talks, and Mr Stoltenberg hopes the bloc will agree to fund Afghan security forces until 2024.",

Scans have revealed that another Roman street ran further east under Priory Park, but this will not be uncovered.

Nottingham Crown Court heard he was \"lucky\" an artery was not hit. Michael McKenna admitted wounding with intent and attempting to cause grievous bodily harm to another prison officer at a court appearance in September. The 25-year-old also admitted racially-aggravated threatening behaviour towards a detention officer following the slashing. The court heard Mr Dye had recently started working at the Category B male prison, which has been previously described as \"dangerous\" and having a \"very significant\" problems with violence. McKenna - who appeared at court via videolink from HMP Wakefield - had only arrived at the prison the previous day. Alan Murphy, prosecuting, said when Mr Dye was releasing prisoners for their hour of association time, McKenna approached the officer while holding two blades taken from prison issue razors. \"Suddenly, for no reason at all, the defendant lunged towards Mr Dye,\" he said. CCTV footage shows other prison officers arriving seconds later, with McKenna attempting to slash at Alexander Malcolm. After the attack McKenna was arrested and taken to a custody suite where he racially abused a detention officer. Sentencing, Judge Gregory Dickinson QC said the \"premeditated\" attack was carried out \"without warning, without reason\". \"You slashed his throat, causing a nasty, gaping wound,\" he said. The court heard both prison officers have been affected by the attack, with a statement from Mr Dye saying the scarring to his neck \"acts as a constant reminder\", but both continue to work in the service.

In England, the statistics are 6.9% and approximately 15%. Cancer survivor Paul Fox said only research will help us beat cancer, or at least learn to live with it. The 47-year-old, from County Down, was diagnosed with oesophageal cancer in July 2018. It was detected early and having received treatment, three cycles of chemotherapy, he told BBC News NI that he is well on the road to recovery. \"I am very much living beyond cancer. I urge people particularly men to respond to symptoms, to seek help. It is actually being man enough,\" he said. On this World Cancer Day, Cancer Focus Northern Ireland announced a £300,000 investment in pioneering research at Queen's University Belfast. The new project will study pancreatic and oesophageal cancers. Roisin Foster, chief executive of Cancer Focus NI, said: \"We know that as people live longer, the incidence of cancer is rising and one in two of us can expect to get a diagnosis in our lifetime.\" Common symptoms of pancreatic cancer include: Symptoms of oesophageal cancer: Dr Richard Turkington, oncologist and cancer researcher at Queen's, who is leading the research, said the \"pioneering\" new project aims to determine how immunotherapy can successfully treat pancreatic and oesophageal cancers. \"[These] are two cancers which at present are hard to treat and have very low survival rates,\" he said. Immunotherapy works by overcoming cancer cells' ability to hide from the body's immune system. It allows a patient's immune defences to identify and destroy cancer cells, but does not always work for everyone. The stark facts Dr Turkington explained: \"The outlook for these patients has remained unchanged for decades partly due to lack of research and investment. \"Our researchers will work to understand why most pancreatic and oesophageal types of cancers are resistant to immunotherapy and identify which drugs can be used to help overcome this resistance so patients will respond positively to the treatment. \"Immunotherapy has transformed the outlook for specific cancers, such as lung cancer and malignant melanoma, previously thought to be relatively untreatable. \"We believe the same revolution can occur for oesophageal and pancreatic cancers. \"This new work will enable us to drive forward a new era of treatment. If successful it has the potential to save lives both here and across the world.\"",

The page is called \"Talabeh Today\" - a Talabeh being a seminary student who pursues religious studies and who is supposed to adopt a simple devotional lifestyle. It was started by an Iranian seminary student called Masoud Zareian, from the northeastern city of Mashhad, in an attempt to improve the image of conservative clergy and highlight their relevance to contemporary life. The stereotype of an Iranian cleric is often that of a fiery speaker, addressing a crowd chanting slogans against \"western imperialism\". Liberal Iranians might also tend to think of them as a symbol of all that's wrong with life in the Islamic Republic. The traditionally much-respected men in society rose to influence the life of ordinary Iranians in one way or the other, some argue for the worse, after the 1979 revolution which toppled the Shah. The admiration they enjoyed has gradually faded as some Iranians believe they have not practised what they preached. Zareian, who as well as being a talabeh is also a documentary filmmaker, is a supporter of Iran's clerical establishment. And his decision to use Instagram to portray the nuances of contemporary clerical life is not as odd as it may at first seem. Instagram is very popular in Iran, not only among the urban youth but among conservative sections of society. Twitter and Facebook are officially banned. Follow BBC Trending on Facebook Join the conversation on this and other stories here. He described the page as trying to \"reflect a true and real picture of the social life of the clergymen of today's Iran\". In an interview with a local newspaper, he said \"many people have a wrong perception about us\". Zareian went on to say: \"I believe if we try to portray the spiritual leaders as innocent like angels, it will look a bit unreal to people. A cleric is just an ordinary person\". The page is also now posting photos submitted by its fans. Zareian matches the pictures with anecdotes about eminent religious scholars and ayatollahs, containing life lessons. His religious messages have also been acknowledged among all the praise. For instance, in one of the top photos, a clergyman is shown next to a Christmas tree and a woman. Zareian put it up to wish Happy Christmas to Christians. However, the anecdote alongside the photo tells a heartwarming story of Islamic piety. It is about the lady in the picture who is reported to have been suffering from an incurable cancer. As her last resort, she was asked to pray to a Muslim saint to get cured. She did so and, according to the caption, she was cured. Each photo has been liked by hundreds of people many of whom have made appreciative comments. Some of the descriptions are also in English to cater to a wider audience. Some of the photos however have prompted debates about whether clerics should be seen in public doing things other than religious duties, especially when they are dressed in the clerical attire. Some also questioned the motives behind the page. One user commented on a photo showing a clergyman playing football with kids saying: \"Is this kind of act comes from a humanitarian nature or compassion or is it a kind of pretence to influence people and draw their attention towards their scholastic mission?\" One women also complained saying that female seminary students are absent in the photos, asking the page administrator to consider putting up photos of female counterparts online.

He hates confrontation. \"I don't thrive on it, but if I need to make a point I will make a point.\" On the other side of the debate, one 59-year-old Leave voter from north London says most of his discussions with \"remainers\" are \"reasonable\", although there are \"complete nutters\", often on social media, who \"can't cope with the fact people voted to leave\". \"I have got the ammunition I need, and they know I know what I'm talking about,\" he says. But he says his girlfriend - who is from Czech Republic and would have voted to remain - was \"a bit cross\" about his vote. \"She said I voted for her to go back,\" he says. \"But we are still boyfriend and girlfriend now. We don't discuss it.\" For more than three years, Brexit has been sparking disagreements among families and friends. Even Boris Johnson's family avoid the topic of Brexit, said his sister Rachel last week, as the siblings' brother, Jo, quit as a minister and Tory MP. But how should you deal with arguments over Brexit - and when should you give up? Experts explain the art of arguing. Listen and don't interrupt The most common mistakes people make during arguments are the most obvious - not listening and interrupting each other, says the author of book How to Argue, Oxford University law professor Jonathan Herring. \"When you interrupt someone you are essentially saying you don't want to hear what they are saying and that creates a bad atmosphere.\" He adds: \"You have to understand where the other person is coming from. Good listeners will try to build consensus. There will be issues on which you agree. \"On Brexit, you might both be concerned about immigration or the economy and if you can both agree on this then it can help to have some common ground.\" It's important to try to work out what's important to the other person and then tailor your points accordingly, he adds. \"If someone does not care about the economy, giving a lot of economic statistics will not be helpful.\" No caricatures When arguing about Brexit, people often go wrong by \"assuming caricatures of the person they are talking to\", Mr Herring adds. \"If someone says they support Brexit, someone might assume they must be racist or they are old-fashioned. Someone might assume [Remainers] are very, very liberal or don't care about immigration.\" Instead, good arguers will listen properly to their opponents' points, he says. Claire Fox, who founded the Academy of Ideas to encourage debate and is also a Brexit Party MEP, agrees that labelling people is \"really unhelpful\", giving the example of Leave voters who are sometimes portrayed as \"being on the side of xenophobia and racism\". \"I understand it can be as irritating if people write off Remainers as 'remoaners' or as people who are the 'metropolitan elite',\" she adds. It is important to always show respect and treat your opponent seriously, she says. \"If you feel you're being condescended to and not taken seriously in the discussion, that can make people feel defensive. \"Regard each other on face value rather than putting people into different camps.\" Changing minds Gabrielle Rifkind, a specialist in conflict resolution in the Middle East, says you must be \"curious and engaged\" to find out why the other person thinks differently. Tone is also important, she says, so avoid being adversarial and critical. And success is not just measured by winning someone over to your point of view, says Ms Rifkind, who voted for Remain but says she now sees the Brexit issue \"through the lens of healing the splits that have so deeply fractured our country\". \"We seldom listen properly as we want to try and get those with different views to think the same as us, to pull them across the barricade, convince them as to the rightness of argument. \"It is very difficult to tolerate a different point of view,\" she says. \"What people believe is often very deep inside them, it may be linked to their identity, but we fall into a trap and think unless we can get them to think like us, we are not making progress. \"Ultimately in a good conversation we are trying to find the human connection but this does not mean we have to think alike.\" Mediator Louisa Weinstein agrees it is \"unhelpful\" when someone wants to change your mind without fully listening. \"What happens is you want to impose your opinion even more,\" she says. Losers' consent Meanwhile, it is important to realise that sometimes you lose, says Ms Fox. She adds that part of modern democratic life in the UK is losers' consent. \"If you lose an argument it doesn't mean you change your mind but you have to accept the decision,\" she says. \"You would then say: 'I accept that decision, I'm going to regroup and win more people over to my side to my argument in the future.'\" When to stop For Mr Herring, even in the polarised Brexit debate, he believes sitting down to talk together will help people to discover where they agree. But it's important to know when to stop, he adds - and realise your relationships are more valuable. \"If you know the person you are talking to gets very upset very quickly, it may be best to avoid the subject,\" he says. During arguments, mediator Ms Weinstein suggests summarising what the other person says and repeating it back, before asking them them if that's what they said. \"For example: 'What I heard is that you hate me, and never want to speak to me again.' They will say, 'No, you're just really annoying right now.'\" Setting aside time - \"small bitesize chunks\" - for the discussion is also useful. \"Put boundaries around it. For example, 'Let's talk about it for 15 minutes then we can go to the cinema.'\" Ms Fox says it is \"very tempting to retreat into echo chambers at a time like this\". \"It's a really unpleasant, febrile atmosphere and so many exchanges, particularly on social media, take the form of demonising and it feels too abusive to engage,\" she says. \"On the one hand I understand why people are retreating but it's important people don't [stop] influencing fellow citizens and put forward their ideas. \"I would never say don't have an argument,\" she adds.

I'm a bit of a wizard, I often thought I was.\" Gallagher scored seven number ones as part of Oasis (eight, if you include their greatest hits album Time Flies), and each of his solo records has also reached the summit. Who Built The Moon sees the star team up with dance producer David Holmes, who has also worked on the soundtracks to Ocean's 11 and BBC Two's The Fall. The Telegraph described the record's psychedelic squiggles as \"the most adventurous, free-flowing and forward-facing\" music of his career, while the NME called it \"Noel's best album since …Morning Glory\". \"I'd like to say thanks for giving it a chance,\" said Gallagher. \"I was convinced from the outset that the people who bought it would love it - not like it, they'd love it - and that seems to be the case.\" However, the album hasn't sold as well as Liam Gallagher's recent album, As You Were, which shifted 102,660 copies in its first week of release. Elsewhere in the album chart, Little Mix leap 43 places to number three, after the release of a deluxe edition of last year's Glory Days, while Elbow got a new entry at 11 with their first Best Of collection. It's not such good news for Bjork, whose latest album Utopia entered the chart at 25; and last year's X Factor winner Matt Terry, whose debut album Trouble landed with a thud at 29. Both artists are beaten by Strictly Come Dancing's Anton Du Beke, whose album of showband covers (and a bizarre version of Arctic Monkeys' I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor) sashayed into the countdown at 21. In the singles chart, Camilla Cabello's Havana tops the rankings for the fifth time, much to the frustration of Rita Ora, whose single Anywhere has been stuck at number two for the last three weeks. Less than 1,000 copies separate the two acts; but they could both be overtaken by Ed Sheeran's new single Perfect next Friday. His ballad, Perfect, rises one spot to number three this week; and is likely to receive a sales boost this week from a new remix featuring vocals by Beyonce. If it takes the top slot next week, it seems likely Sheeran could cling on to score the Christmas number one. But he'll face competition from Taylor Swift, whose latest album Reputation is likely to generate several new entries next week after belatedly making its debut on streaming services on Friday. There's also the spectre of this year's X Factor winner, who will be revealed on Sunday. Both Rak-Su and Grace Davies, who have been performing original material on the show, have featured heavily in the iTunes Top 10 in recent weeks. However, their songs are not counted towards the charts until the series ends. Meanwhile, former X Factor winner James Arthur scores the highest new entry in this week's Top 40, with his Max Martin-produced ballad, Naked. The only other new entry comes from Craig David and Dan Smith from Bastille, whose duet I Know You makes its first appearance at 25.

The defendants face charges from attempting to assassinate the president to murder. As some arrived at court they were met by protesters chanting \"We want the death penalty!\" Some of the demonstrators had relatives killed or injured during the coup attempt and threw nooses towards the suspects. Rebel soldiers tried to grab power in July 2016, leaving 249 civilians dead.

Anyone convicted is expected to get life imprisonment. Although Turkey abolished the death penalty in 2004, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan proposed a referendum on the issue in his speech after narrowly winning a vote to expand his powers in April. The president has been increasingly supportive of a reintroduction of capital punishment since the failed coup. But the EU has made clear that any such move would effectively bring an end to Turkey's negotiations to join the bloc. Last July, orders were allegedly sent out from Akinci air base, north-west of Ankara, to bomb parliament as troops attempted to oust President Erdogan.

Dr Ian Johnson, from the Institute of Food Research, a publicly funded UK research institute that focuses on the science of food and health He reacted cautiously to the WHO's report, saying: \"It is important to emphasise that this classification reflects the strength of the evidence for an effect, not the actual size of the risk. \"Meat consumption is probably one of many factors contributing to the high rates of bowel cancer seen in America, Western Europe and Australia, but the mechanism is poorly understood, and the effect is much smaller than, for example, that of cigarette smoking on the risk of lung cancer. \"It is also worth noting that there is little or no evidence that vegetarians in the UK have a lower risk of bowel cancer than meat-eaters.\" Maureen Strong, of the Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board, which is funded by farmers and growers to supply the food industry with information She said the WHO's report did not suggest eating red and processed meats \"as part of a balanced diet\" caused cancer. \"No single food causes cancer. [The WHO's International Agency for Research on Cancer] itself has said that the risk from processed meat remains small,\" she said. Ms Strong added that the average daily consumption of processed meat was 17 grams, which meant that on average people would need to eat \"three times their current levels to increase their risk\" of developing cancer. Dr Louis Levy, of government health organisation Public Health England He said findings in the report were \"broadly in line with current government advice\", which is based on the possible link between consuming red and processed meat and colorectal cancer. \"On average, we should be eating no more than 70g a day. This advice recognises the fact that red meat is also a good source of nutrients, including iron, zinc and vitamin B12.\" Professor Tim Key, from Cancer Research UK He said there was \"substantial evidence\" for a link between meat-eating and bowel cancer. However, \"Eating a bacon bap every once in a while isn't going to do much harm - having a healthy diet is all about moderation,\" he said. \"You could try having fish for your dinner rather than sausages, or choosing to have a bean salad for lunch over a BLT.\" Meurig Raymond, president of the National Farmers Union (NFU) Mr Raymond said: \"The NFU has always stated that eating lean red meat has an important role to play in a healthy balanced diet. It's a traditional part of the British lifestyle and is enjoyed by most of the population. He added that there was a \"complex relationship\" between diet and good health, and the solutions to any link between diet and illness \"cannot be polarised or simplistic\". \"The scientific and medical communities both agree that consuming recommended quantities of red meat is beneficial to human health and provides the body with a ready source of essential vitamins and minerals,\" he said. Clare Oxborrow, from environmental campaign group Friends of the Earth She welcomed the report, and said: \"This should be a wake-up call that our diets urgently need to change. \"Evidence shows that high meat diets not only harm our health; they damage our environment too. Experts have warned that unless we eat less meat globally, we will fail to meet our climate change targets.\" Chris Godfrey, from Godfrey's Butchers in Highbury, north London, which has been selling sausages for more than 100 years Mr Godfrey said he was not concerned by the WHO's report as it is not telling people to avoid eating meat altogether. \"They're not saying that meat's bad for you. What they're saying is that a healthy diet is good for you, which we already knew.\" \"Most people read these things, they're quite intelligent enough to be able to realise that it's not as bad as smoking a cigarette.\"",

Eyewitnesses had reported that only one person had ejected from the jet before it crashed and burst into flames. An air ambulance was sent to the scene at about 13:30 GMT on Tuesday but it was later confirmed the engineer had died. Reading a statement at the RAF base, Group Captain Nick Tucker-Lowe described the crash as a \"tragic accident\" and said the families of the engineer and the pilot had been informed. Air Chief Marshal Sir Stephen Hillier, head of the RAF, said the crash was a \"reminder that we must never take for granted the risks our people take in the service of our country\". \"My deepest thoughts are with the friends and family of those involved at this terrible time,\" he added. Prime Minister Theresa May said: \"My condolences to the family of the RAF engineer who sadly died today on Anglesey. \"My thoughts are also with the pilot and with the Red Arrows following this tragic incident.\" North Wales Police said its investigators, supported by other specialists, would begin a joint investigation led by the Air Accident Investigation Branch. Eyewitnesses had described the moment they heard a loud explosion. Howard Rigby, who was playing golf near RAF Valley, said: \"I turned immediately to the airport; I could see a ball of flame and a multi-coloured parachute. \"Just one parachute, not very high - which is a bit worrying. I immediately knew there'd been a major incident.\" Sian Rebecca Williams, 18, was waiting at Rhosneigr railway station when the jet flew overhead. She said: \"The Red Arrow came over and because I'd hardly seen one before I thought 'Wow, it's out'. \"From what I remember, it did a loop and flew towards the runway and looked like it was about to land. \"As I was looking I saw the parachute of one pilot open and then the plane hit the runway with a bang and a crumbling noise. \"Then it just burned bright orange and there was smoke everywhere.\" The on-base fire engine drove out to the wreckage \"instantly\", she said, putting the flames out before an air ambulance arrived. Anne Wilson, 52, who works at nearby The Anglesey Golf Club, saw the aftermath of the crash. She said: \"I heard a very loud noise - we are used to the planes going over, but this was unusual. \"I did go and have a look and there was a big fireball and lots of smoke... quite a few of the members actually saw it. \"They said the plane came in quite steeply and saw a pilot eject, but that it was very low to the ground when they ejected.\" A Welsh Ambulance Service spokeswoman said it received a call about the crash just before 13:30 GMT and it sent an emergency ambulance and an air ambulance. It is believed the aircraft was flying from RAF Valley to RAF Scampton, Lincolnshire, where the Red Arrows are based, when it crashed. The Red Arrows are the RAF's world-famous aerobatic team, performing stunts and daredevil displays in the distinctive Hawk fast-jets. It is understood the aircrew had been at RAF Valley for routine Hawk simulator training - something that takes place once a month. In total, about 1,500 service personnel, civil servants and contractors work at RAF Valley.",

When the president was asked how many Americans are currently projected to die from the virus given even the current mitigation efforts, he said it was better if his medical experts responded. The number of deaths, based on current projections, is between 100,000 and 200,000. On 15 April, for instance, 2,214 Americans are expected to die. \"No-one is denying that we're going through a very, very difficult time,\" said Dr Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. \"That's what it is.\" The president tried to frame this news as best he could, noting that the projections for US casualties if the government had done nothing were in the millions. \"A lot of people were saying think of it as the flu, but it's not the flu,\" he said. \"It's vicious.\" Of course, it was just a week ago the president himself was making exactly such comparisons, noting that the early fatality numbers were much less than those from the flu or even automobile accidents. \"We lose thousands of people a year to the flu,\" he said then. \"We never turn the country off.\" Now, however, the seriousness of the situation has hit home. He spoke of checking in on a friend who was in the hospital with the virus - \"a little older, and he's heavy, but he's tough person\" - only to find out he was now in a coma. \"I spoke to some of my friends, and they can't believe what they're seeing,\" he said. Mr Trump's change of attitude also extended to some of his recent political feuds. Just days after attacking Democratic Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, mocking her name and calling her incompetent on Twitter, the president said he had a \"really great conversation\" with her and detailed the support the federal government was providing her state. Last Friday, he had suggested that if state leaders were not \"appreciative\" of him, he wouldn't talk to them. On Tuesday, he recounted conversations with Democratic governors in California and Louisiana. There was still a veiled shot at New York and its Democratic governor Andrew Cuomo, however, as the president suggested that both his state and New Jersey - the two hardest hit in the US - \"got off to a very late start\" with their pandemic response. Trump also pushed back against Cuomo's complaint earlier on Tuesday that states were being forced to bid against each other, and the federal government, on the ventilator market. \"They shouldn't be doing that,\" the president said. \"If that happens, they should be calling us. If they need them that badly, we know.\" \"Some people frankly think they need them but they don't need them,\" he added. The new call from the White House was to continue the current mitigation efforts for an additional 30 days; that even if things go from bad to worse in the weeks to come, the efforts will pay off. It will, however, be a long, slow grind. \"There's no magic bullet,\" said Dr Deborah Birx, one of the experts on the US taskforce. \"There's no magic vaccine or therapy. Just behaviours,\" she said.

            "input": "By Gideon LongBBC News, Coronel The answer actually lies in the southern Pacific Ocean, over 12,000 km (7,500 miles) from northern Europe, off the coast of Chile. One hundred years ago this weekend, on 1 November 1914, the British Royal Navy confronted a German squadron outside the port of Coronel, close to Chile's second city of Concepcion. The Germans won a resounding victory, sinking two of the four British ships with the loss of over 1,600 lives. Not a single German sailor died. Not only was it Britain's first naval defeat of WW1 but it was its first anywhere in the world in over a century, dating back to the war of 1812 against the United States. Britannia had ruled the waves for generations, and the defeat at Coronel sent shock waves through its empire and beyond. \"Within days it was all over the world,\" says Nick Hewitt, a historian from the National Museum of the Royal Navy in Britain. \"The Times of London reported it, the New York Times reported it, it was front page news in Australia,\" he told the BBC. \"This was a superpower being humiliated. This sort of thing just didn't happen to the Royal Navy. \"It had a genuinely catastrophic impact on British morale.\" The British responded quickly and forcefully. They despatched ships from the North Sea down to the South Atlantic and confronted the Germans at the Falkland Islands five weeks later. This time, the British won. They sank four German ships, killing more than 1,800 sailors. All their own ships survived. Trade target Descendants of some of the British sailors who died at Coronel have travelled to Chile this week to pay homage to them. On Friday, they sailed out to the site of the battle and laid wreaths at sea. On Saturday, they took part in a remembrance ceremony in the port itself. Leigh Merrick, a retired navy officer, was one of those who made the journey. His grandfather was a reservist stockbroker on the HMS Good Hope, one of the British warships sunk during the battle. \"I think he saw joining the navy as a chance to escape and to see a bit of the world, certainly not expecting it would end here, in the Battle of Coronel,\" said Mr Merrick. \"I promised my father before he died that if I was still around I'd come out for the 100th anniversary. I think he and my grandfather would be very pleased that I made it.\" Another relative, Liell Francklin, said he was the grandson of the flag captain of the HMS Good Hope. \"On Friday we went to the site where we believe the ship lies and we all distributed little mementos,\" he said. \"I brought some soil from home, which was also my grandfather's home, to drop overboard. It was very emotional.\" For many people, the fact that the British and Germans were even in the area at the time comes as something of a surprise. But it was part of an important trade route back then. The Panama Canal had only just opened and until then, ships crossing from the Atlantic to the Pacific had to round the bottom of South America and travel up the Chilean coast. \"It was all about merchant trade,\" Hewitt said. \"The Germans were trying to disrupt British trade to hamper their war effort.\" Funeral flowers The German squadron that fought at Coronel was under the command of Maximilian von Spee, an experienced admiral. \"They were crack ships, their crews have been together for years and they knew exactly what they were doing,\" Hewitt said. In contrast, the British squadron, led by Rear-Admiral Sir Christopher Cradock, was outdated. \"The ships were old. The two armoured cruisers were badly designed. All the odds were stacked against them,\" Hewitt said. \"Cradock was in a difficult situation. He was going up against serious opposition, he knew his force was inadequate and to make matters worse he was getting bad direction from London.\" The battle started in the late afternoon and went on into the night. It was clearly visible from the shoreline of Chile, which remained neutral throughout World War One. HMS Good Hope was the first British ship to sink, taking Cradock with it. Just over an hour later, the Germans sank HMS Monmouth with the loss of all hands. After their victory, the Germans sailed northwards and docked at the Chilean port of Valparaiso, where they were feted as heroes by the large local German community. But von Spee, it seems, was in no mood to celebrate. He had used much of his ammunition at Coronel and was far from home, with few options to refuel. And he was expecting a British backlash. When given a bouquet of flowers in Chile he reportedly said: \"These will do nicely for my grave.\" Just over a month later he was dead, one of the hundreds of German victims at the Battle of the Falkland Islands.",

And then the thunder of an explosion tore the perfect sky, shattered the calm and ripped the canvas of John Maxwell's life from top to bottom. Everything changed utterly. An IRA bomb was detonated on a boat off the coast of Mullaghmore, killing the Queen's cousin, Lord Louis Mountbatten, his grandson, Nicholas Knatchbull, 14, and John Maxwell's son, Paul, 15. The Dowager Lady Brabourne died the day after the attack. Nicholas' twin brother, Timmy, and his father and mother Patricia and John Brabourne were seriously injured. The boat trip was a regular holiday outing. Lord Mountbatten, 79, and his family traditionally spent time at their castle, Classiebawn, in Sligo, every summer. The local police kept watch for the one month a year that the family spent there. But Lord Mountbatten's boat was left unguarded at the dock in Mullaghmore where it was moored. The explosion hurled seven people into the sea. \"Paul was a very outgoing wee boy - not wee, he was getting quite big,\" John said with a smile. \"He was interested in all kinds of sport. He played rugby, he did all kinds of things. He had a very cheery disposition. He got on well with everybody. He loved the sea.\" Getting the summer job as boatman on Lord Mountbatten's boat was a dream come true. \"A local fella, Rodney Lomax, who is sadly now deceased, recommended Paul,\" he said. \"He was always about the place and he was very keen on boats. He went up and was interviewed and got the job. \"He thought it was the greatest thing being out with a man of his renown. He thought it was brilliant. He enjoyed the whole experience and was enjoying it until he lost out on the whole thing.\" The explosion on that beautiful day pulled John from the sunspot at the back of his Sligo cottage. \"It was a God almighty explosion and I knew from the direction of the explosion that that would be where the boat was - they took the same boat trip each day,\" he said. \"I thought it must be the boat. I rushed out, got into the car and drove where I thought the boat would have been. \"I stopped and looked over the cliff edge, but all I could see were bits of wood floating out from the centrepiece, the remains of the boat. I knew that nobody could have survived that.\" From there, John Maxwell went around to the harbour and met a friend. \"He took me around to see if there was anybody left. There was nothing. The water was still churning up from where the thing had been blown up. It is etched in my memory. I don't like to think about it too much to be honest. It was so sudden and unexpected. \"There was a fair degree of security, every time that the boat - Shadow V - went out. The guards used to go a-pace with it, around the road on the headland. They were on the shore and the boat below them. But it didn't mean they could do anything about it. It is a hard thing to live with.\" And now nearly 36 years later, Prince Charles is to visit Mullaghamore, the place where his beloved great uncle was killed in the IRA bomb. John Maxwell will be there to meet him. The fact of the Royal visit is a sign of changed times, he said. \"It says a lot about English/Irish relations in that he knows he can do that now,\" he said. \"It is very positive. It is a big change from the 1970s and 1960s. I like to think we live in a better world. It is possibly a sign that the relationships are really improving and I think they are between the two islands.\" He hopes the prince gets a good day to enjoy Mullaghamore at his finest. He still loves the place, even though it is where his son's life was cut short in a cruel way. \"Mullaghmore is a lovely place. I would like to see it getting its just deserts in terms of people arriving and staying. The people in Mullaghmore had nothing to do with this, I am quite convinced. It was, as they say, an outside job,\" he said. \"There is the scenery and the friendliness of the people. I hope he gets a good day. If the Atlantic storms are coming in he wouldn't see very much.\" John Maxwell has worked to build relationships since that day. He played a major role in starting the first integrated school in Enniskillen. And he also tried to reach out to the man who was convicted of those three murders, including his son's. Thomas McMahon was set free under the Good Friday Agreement in 1998. \"I wanted to ask him his motivation and how he felt about it now and how he felt about meeting me,\" he said. \"Nothing came of it. I thought it would have made things possibly easier for me if he had shown some kind of remorse. \"On the other hand, it could have been worse, he would possibly not have. I am no better off in terms of him. Maybe it was as well I didn't.\" What he treasures are the memories of a great son. \"He was interested in all kinds of sport. He played rugby he did all kinds of things. He had a very cheery disposition. He got on well with everybody. He loved the sea and being out on the sea with Lord Mountbatten was fantastic to him,\" And then there are the thoughts of what might have been - the path Paul might have taken and where he might have gone in his life. \"He might have ended up on the sea for all I know... if he had survived,\" he said.",

Most were caused by people putting things such as cooking oil, nappies and baby wipes down sinks and toilets. It is running an awareness campaign to highlight the issue, which it said creates costs of more than £7m a year. A series of television and radio adverts will urge householders to dispose of kitchen and bathroom waste responsibly. The adverts will also highlight the importance of saving water by doing simple things such as turning off taps while brushing teeth. Scottish Water said cooking fat, oils and grease coupled with bathroom waste such as cotton buds, nappies and baby wipes created \"a perfect storm of solidified fat and material that cannot break down easily in large clumps beneath Scotland's streets\". It warned the blockages can often lead to flooding and expensive repairs. Chris Wallace, of Scottish Water, said: \"The waste water drain which runs from your house to the public sewer is usually only about four inches wide, which is less than the diameter of a DVD. \"This drain is designed to take only the used water from sinks, showers and baths and pee, poo and toilet paper from the toilet.\" The firm has also released a list of some of the more unusual items discovered in the sewer network. Some of these - including mobile phones, jeans, false teeth, pants and toy action figures - were flushed down toilets. However, other more bulky items - including a pink ladies bicycle, a fax machine and a large Winnie the Pooh teddy found in East Kilbride in South Lanarkshire - had been dumped down manholes. The Scottish Water campaign to tackle blockages and encourage more responsible waste disposal also involves leaflets and school visits in the Stirling and Dumfries areas and will run for seven weeks. Iain Gulland, director of Zero Waste Scotland, said: \"I welcome the launch of this new initiative by Scottish Water to raise awareness of how to keep the sewer system clear of waste. \"Waste is a resource and there are significant environmental and economic benefits for Scotland if we work together to manage it more efficiently.\"",

He has now set out a new front bench team - with Ms Ballantyne's social security brief going to Graham Simpson. Mr Carlaw said the group was \"designed to take on the SNP\" and to take the Scottish Conservatives into government. The move comes the day after First Minister Nicola Sturgeon reshuffled her cabinet, with Kate Forbes becoming finance secretary in the wake of Derek Mackay's resignation. Mr Carlaw had been interim Scottish Tory leader since August 2019, when Ms Davidson stepped down citing personal and political changes in her life. The leadership contest became bad-tempered, with the candidates trading insults ahead of the final result on 14 February - which saw Mr Carlaw win out by 4,917 votes to 1,581. Ms Ballantyne accused Mr Carlaw of running a general election campaign in December that \"lacked vision and ambition\" and saw the party lose seven of its 13 seats north of the border. Mr Carlaw hit back that the South Scotland MSP was the only member of the old front bench team who had never submitted \"a single policy proposal\". Following the result, Ms Ballantyne said it was important the party \"must come together\" - but was absent from the new-look front bench team unveiled by Mr Carlaw at Holyrood on Tuesday. She has instead been nominated to be the convener of Holyrood's economy committee. The social security portfolio she previously covered has been merged into housing and communities, and entrusted to Mr Simpson. Meanwhile, Murdo Fraser has become the party's constitution spokesman, with Adam Tomkins moving to focus on \"strategy\". Jamie Greene will speak for the Tories on education, with Liz Smith moving from that role to be the group's chief whip. Mr Carlaw has two deputies - Liam Kerr and Annie Wells. Mr Kerr will retain the justice portfolio, while Ms Wells will focus on the environment, climate change and the COP26 summit in Glasgow. The Eastwood MSP said: \"It's simply not enough for us to be a strong and effective opposition anymore. \"We need to prove to the people of Scotland that we're a government in waiting, and that's exactly what I intend to do over the next 15 months.\" Ms Sturgeon, meanwhile, drew attention to the fact that only three of the 13 MSPs in the Tory front bench team were female, while the majority of her cabinet are women. She said: \"With all the available evidence about the importance of diversity in decision making, having a 'shadow cabinet' that is 75% male is shockingly poor.\"",

The bank said it was not passing on the full increase, as it had previously protected savers from the full 0.25% base rate cut in 2016. The Skipton said savings rates would rise by the full 0.25% from 5 December. Savers in the building society's cash Lifetime Isa will see the rate go up from 0.5% to 0.75% on the same date. Mike Regnier, chief executive at Yorkshire Building Society, said: \"It has been a tough few years for savers, so we're delighted to be able to pass on the full bank rate increase.\" HSBC, Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) and Barclays said they were reviewing their savings rates. Earlier Mark Carney, the Bank of England governor, said he expected all providers to increase returns for savers after the Bank's Base Rate was increased from 0.25% to 0.5%. \"We do expect it to be passed on,\" he told reporters. \"Banks did pass on the cuts to their depositors, and we expect competition to push it in the other direction. Obviously we will watch it closely.\" Mortgages Borrowers with the Yorkshire Building Society will likewise see an increase in their standard variable rate (SVR) mortgages of 0.25% to 4.99%. SVR mortgage holders with the TSB and the Nationwide will also see a 0.25% rise. Most of those on tracker rates will see an immediate and automatic rise. HSBC said such borrowers would face higher borrowing costs from Friday. Lloyds Banking Group - which includes the Halifax and Bank of Scotland - said tracker rates would rise on 1 December. RBS - which includes NatWest - and Barclays also confirmed that tracker rates would go up, but neither have specified a date.

'Continuing challenges' Energy Minister Paul Wheelhouse said: \"I welcome the findings in the report which show the sector has seen an 18.2% increase in sales value. \"These figures reflect the increased price of oil and gas on the global markets and show confidence is continuing to return to the sector.\" He explained: \"Capital investment in oil and gas fields in Scottish waters remains strong at around £6bn in financial year 2017-18, and oil production is up slightly. \"At the same time the industry faces continuing challenges, including issues around exploration, and the Scottish government will continue to do what we can to support the sector. \"However, the UK government retains most of the key policy levers affecting the offshore sector, so we will continue to argue they should bring forward measures to rebuild exploration activity and to maximise economic recovery, while also providing an immediate boost to the supply chain.\" In the first half of 2018 the price of Brent Crude oil averaged more than $70 a barrel.

It succeeded with the support of unionist and Alliance MLAs. Sinn Féin and the Greens voted against the bill, while the SDLP abstained. 'Legal challenge' The SDLP was unhappy with some aspects of the legislation, and last month, the party said it was considering supporting a petition of concern that would have blocked the bill. It later decided against that course of action. Sinn Féin sources have told the BBC it is inevitable that someone will mount a legal challenge to what republicans view as a discriminatory law. The party's North Antrim MLA, Daithí McKay, said he believed the retrospective nature of the bill - the fact that it would bar people with past convictions form holding a SPAD post - was in contravention of the European Convention on Human Rights. He said he believed the bill could be \"effectively challenged\" on that basis. The bill was put forward by Jim Allister, leader of the Traditional Unionist Voice party, after Sinn Féin appointed former IRA prisoner Mary McArdle as a special adviser. Ms McArdle was convicted for her part in the murder of judge's daughter Mary Travers, whose sister, Ann, launched a campaign that inspired the bill. Ms McArdle was later moved from her post as an adviser to Culture Minister Carál Ní Chuilín. Mr Allister said after the vote: \"She (Ann Travers) has done right and done well by her late sister and father, and we all owe her a great debt of gratitude.\" Ms Travers said: \"I'm so pleased, and everything I've done has been for the memory of my beautiful sister Mary.\" \"Hopefully, it will give victims that bit of hope that their voices will start to be heard now, and the we can all progress to a better, shared future,\" she added. 'Anti-peace process' The SDLP said it would not block the bill after Ms Travers met the party leadership and asked them to reconsider their support for a petition of concern, which would have forced a cross-community vote on the issue. However, Sinn Féin has accused the SDLP of abandoning the principles of the 1998 Good Friday Agreement. Mr McKay said: \"The SDLP today were led away from the Good Friday Agreement and onto the ground of discrimination and inequality by rejectionist unionist Jim Allister. \"They have sold out the Good Friday Agreement and the principles which underpin it. This legislation is discriminatory, sectarian and anti-peace process. \"It has set victim against victim as it has attempted to reinforce the hierarchy of victims that republicans and nationalists are all too well aware of. It is bad and flawed law. \"The clear message from the SDLP is that those who suffered at the hands of the British state are at the bottom of Alasdair McDonnell's pecking order of victims. Today his party refused to meet victims of state violence. That position says it all.\" However, speaking on BBC Radio Ulster SDLP MLA Alban Maginness rejected that claim and said there was \"no informal or formal application by any group to meet with us\". \"Sinn Féin have been completely isolated in relation to this whole issue - they got it wrong, they didn't put victims at the centre,\" Mr Maginness added. He said the SDLP's abstention during the vote was \"an honourable position\" because the bill in its present form was not adequate to deal with all the issues it raised. Mr Maginness added that he believed the retrospective nature of the bill would leave it open to legal challenge. Determined Ulster Unionist Party leader, Mike Nesbitt MLA, said: \"We welcome the passing of the SPAD bill. We look forward to the implementation of 'Ann's Law'. \"I pay tribute to the focus, determination and courage of Ann Travers in the face of despicable abuse from some sections of Irish republicanism. \"She was determined that the memory of her sister Mary and others would live on. She has ensured that the voices of innocent victims will not be silenced. \"I also congratulate Jim Allister on introducing this bill and members from other parties on coming together to ensure its final passage through the assembly.\" Under the legislation, special advisers who have been sentenced to more than five years in prison will be granted an appeal process. This process would give victims a say and would require the former prisoner to show contrition and assist police in solving their crime. Between now and the bill receiving Royal Assent, the Advocate General will have to assess its legality on behalf of the Northern Ireland Office.",

It also said at the time that profits in 2015 would be between £1.325bn and £1.475bn. Warren East, who was appointed chief executive of Rolls-Royce in April, said: \"The speed and magnitude of change in some of our markets, which have historically performed well, has been significant and shows how sensitive parts of our business are to market conditions in the short-term.\" Rolls-Royce said there were three areas where it had seen demand weaken - corporate jets powered by Rolls-Royce engines, servicing of the firm's wide-bodied engines, and offshore marine markets. Analysis: Theo Leggett, BBC business reporter Rolls-Royce has been badly affected by a decline in its main aircraft engine business. It says that although demand for new engines for large passenger aircraft remains unchanged, many airlines have been sidelining their older planes in favour of modern, more fuel efficient models. As a result, profits from supplying spare parts and servicing have fallen significantly. In addition, sales of engines for corporate jets have declined sharply. Meanwhile the low price of oil has taken a heavy toll on Rolls-Royce marine engine business, largely because of falling demand from offshore energy companies. Mr East, who is carrying out a structural review of the business, added Rolls-Royce carried \"too much fixed cost\" and was \"inflexible in managing this in response to changes in market conditions\". He is looking for annual cost savings of between £150 and £200m, of which £115m cost savings are expected to come from the company's aerospace and marine division in 2016.

It said the UK was \"sleep-walking into a debt crisis\" and long-term support was needed. Lenders and utility firms have offered bill holidays during the crisis. Some of those have been extended during current restrictions, but there are implications for some people taking these payment deferrals. The charity said that 25 to 34-year-olds were most likely to be falling behind on bills and borrowing to make ends meet. Single parents and those on incomes of less than £20,000 were also likely to be affected, it said. Separate research published in October by the City regulator, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), suggested that 12 million people in UK had low financial resilience - meaning they found it hard to pay bills or loan repayments - with a third having seen a decrease in income since the outbreak of the pandemic. Those from a black and minority ethnic background were more likely to be affected, with 37% taking an income hit. People aged between 25 and 34 were the most likely, by far, to have had a change in employment as a result of the pandemic, the FCA said. StepChange is calling on the government to provide targeted support to the worst affected groups, as well as extending restrictions on the use of bailiffs. \"This winter, a second national lockdown will drive unemployment, reduced hours and rising energy bills,\" said Phil Andrew, chief executive of StepChange. \"[Targeted funding] can reduce the hardship and damaging impact of long-term debt on health, mental health and the economy, as well as countering the impact of coronavirus on inequality.\"",

But when Mr Scholefield put his prized Ford Mustang and family car up for sale to fund treatment he hoped might help, others rallied and raised thousands. Ford motor group has also leant the family a car, meaning the Northampton couple can drive to appointments. NHS doctors told Mrs Scholefield, 48, they could not operate due to a tumour's proximity to the brain, but her husband hoped other targeted therapies, which were only available to them privately, could prolong her life, or kill off or halt the growth of the cancer. To try to meet the £150,000 cost, he put his Mustang on sale for £30,000 and sold the family car. Mr Scholefield, 49, said: \"As much as I love my car, I can always get another car, I can't get another Kim.\" Members of Facebook group Simply Mustangs UK spotted the advert and in a little over a week raised about £45,000 through online auctions, raffles and a Just Giving crowdfunding page. Mrs Scholefield was told earlier this week she was a suitable candidate for treatment and funds raised so far means she will have her first appointment next week. Ford UK also heard Mr Scholefield had to sell his beloved Mustang, and a spokesman for the motor group said staff were \"touched\" by the story. The company offered to lend him a new Mustang or a more practical option, and has now provided him with a Focus estate as an \"open-ended\" loan, enabling him to take his wife to her appointments in Berkshire and carry out their children's school runs from September. About 30 Mustang owners drove their cars past the Northampton Ford showroom on Friday as the loan-car was handed over, to wish the family well. Mr Scholefield said: \"The support messages, unbridled generosity and love has carried our family through its darkest hour and I can now finally start to see a light at the end of the tunnel. \"It's a long tunnel - but now there is light there.\" Related Internet Links Simply Mustangs UK",

But it was in February that a haemorrhagic fever announced its presence in Guinea, and now the number crunchers in officialdom are reeling off figures in the thousands for those affected and killed by Ebola. In the nine months that have nearly passed, the world has been slow to act. We are fond, in the reporting profession, of spinning a story for maximum impact but there is simply no spin to the Ebola invasion - it is a crisis of unimaginable proportions. Disaster emergency funds have not been sufficient to combat a virus which has made a mockery of disaster preparedness. I've made the calls to friends in Monrovia and Freetown, where the individuals feel their fate is in the hands of the Gods not just the brave medical professionals on the front line. Most airports in the world have someone pointing a body temperature reader at you, especially if you have recently set foot in Africa. And as everyone knows, Africa is one country to the very impressionable and the far less travelled. But Ebola has not been reading passports, and health care workers from many nations will tell you that the disease does not discriminate. It is puzzling then to watch the world reaction to Ebola's relentless grip. Back in September, Ban Ki-moon launched a UN fund and said nearly a $1bn (£620m) was needed to fight Ebola for the next six months to try and get a grip on it before February comes around again. Resolutions were passed and the world made all the right noises. In reality, more than $480m has found its way to various UN agencies or directly to non-governmental organisations fire-fighting the disease in the affected regions. But the newly established UN fund to fight Ebola remained running on empty. A second appeal did not fare much better - with only about 10% of the total pledged so far. Amidst the complacency, we read that fear and ignorance of Ebola is causing panic and hysteria, with West Africa visa bans and African footballers on international duty being \"monitored\" - despite never having kicked a ball in an Ebola ward. Those states from whom much is asked are either under the false illusion that such measures will be enough, that the virus is not their problem or they are simply choosing to shirk their responsibilities. There is always room to raise the racism flag, but it would hardly be worthwhile for the realities are stark - if Ebola is not stopped at its current source in West Africa, no country will be safe. 'Custom made to travel' We are living in those times of great migration - where a two-year-old can cross a border into Mali, travel 700km (430 miles) on several buses and then die from the Ebola virus and possibly infect countless people. Where a man on a flight can reach Nigeria in the confined space of an aeroplane, then die of his illness and fatally infect the doctor who had the foresight to keep him contained. Then there are the people traffickers, the porous borders - Ebola is custom created to travel. I am writing this in an African city far to the south of the epidemic, where while passing through two different countries, immigration officers asked me if I had been to West Africa in the last four weeks. Of course there are many parts to West Africa but that seemed irrelevant. I hadn't been to any of West Africa's 15 states and said no. There is a wind of panic in the air and the reaction to Ebola remains uncoordinated. Ebola virus disease (EVD) Ebola special report Tanzania's Citizen newspaper reported last week that despite a new bio-safety laboratory in Bagamoyo, the nation would be unable to test for Ebola because it lacked approval from the World Health Organization and that funding was needed to supply reagents - a substance used in chemical analysis. While in Zimbabwe's Sunday Mail, an official raised concern over a report that suggested the country has 57 informal border posts as opposed to 19 official ones, and what that would mean in the Ebola era. And as the World Bank appeals for volunteers in the Ebola fight, Australia's government has said it will not send doctors or nurses to help contain the virus until it is certain \"all of the risks are being properly managed\". But many have volunteered. Cuba and Zimbabwe have sent doctors to Monrovia, the Americans are in Liberia, the British in Sierra Leone, the French in Guinea and there are individuals of astounding personal courage sweating in protective plastic suits in the heat of West Africa - yet that is not enough. The rallying cry before the outbreak had been \"Africa is Rising\", and now fragile health care systems have been crippled beyond measure. Could a dollar from each of us build hospitals in Kenema, provide more beds in Monrovia and contribute to quicker detection methods? Oh for a Nelson Mandela to kick some proverbial backsides and get Ban Ki-moon's UN Ebola fund up to speed. Once upon a time the world dismissed Aids as a disease for Africans, gay men and drug users. Over three decades on it is still with us in every corner of the globe. Ebola is not an African problem; it may come for all of us wherever we are.

His comments came as DSG announced a return to profit last year. The Government has announced that VAT will rise from 17.5% to 20% from 4 January 2011. 'Sanguine' Browett made clear he was pleased with the Budget. \"The economy needs to be fixed,\" he said. \"From our perspective, it's great to see that in the long-run the government is going to take firm action. That's got to be good for all of us in the end.\" This is a big boost to the government's strategy for putting up VAT, according to BBC Radio Five live's business presenter Nick Cosgrove. \"As one of the UK's leading electrical retailers, DSG might have been expected to be concerned that a big rise in VAT would hurt its sales and profits,\" he added. \"In fact the retailer seems pretty sanguine.\" Rising profits DSG reported pre-tax profits of £112.7m for the 2009-10 financial year. The strong numbers mark a reversal from a year ago when it recorded a loss of £140m after making hefty write-downs on the value of some its businesses. Ignoring the effect of these write-downs, underlying profits jumped 61% to £91m, thanks to a 3% rise in sales. Yet underlying profits still remain 60% below the peak levels achieved prior to the 2008 recession. This is despite the fact that total group sales have now outstripped pre-recession levels. However, the jump in sales was almost entirely driven by the group's Nordic business (up 13%), with its smaller online business also contributing (up 11%). Overall sales at its UK stores actually fell, although UK pre-tax profits were substantially higher. The World Cup has so far been very successful for Currys, which has seen its sales of TV's rise by 30% in volume compared with the last tournament in 2006. The firm says sales were boosted by a promotion that offers to take 10 pounds off the price for every goal that England score. Renewal plan DSG - which intends to rename itself Dixons Retail PLC - has been pushing through a programme of store closures and a revamp of its shops' format. Among the company's innovations are new megastores with a floorspace of up to 60,000 sq ft, and \"two-in-one\" stores containing Currys and PC World under the same roof. The reformatted stores experienced a 20% uplift to gross profits, while the profits at megastores and two-in-one stores were up 50%. \"We have made significant improvements throughout the business, transforming the shopping experience for customers with better choice, value and service both in stores and online,\" said John Browett, DSG's chief executive. \"We are now two years into the Renewal and Transformation plan and are encouraged by the improved profitability and competitiveness it continues to deliver.\" The news comes a day after rival Kesa reported a 14% jump in profits at its UK electricals retail chain, Comet.

It comes as the number of people who have died with coronavirus in Wales passed 5,000. In north Wales, Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board, said it had appointments available this week. The call comes after it was confirmed more than 600,000 people in Wales have been given their first dose of a Covid vaccine as Wales overtook the other UK nations for the first time in the percentage of the population getting a first jab dose. People aged over 70, or in high priority groups, had been urged not to call their GPs or health board for an appointment, with letters being sent to households. But health boards in Wales have now put out messages urging those in the top priority groups - over 70s, those classed as \"extremely clinically vulnerable\", and any NHS or social care workers - who have not been contacted to get in touch. However, they have warned they were being \"inundated with calls\" and urged those who were not yet due the vaccine to wait to be contacted. On Monday, the UK government urged people over the age of 70 in England, who had not yet been given an appointment, to contact their health board \"urgently\". Cardiff and Vale University Health Board urged people in priority groups one-four to get in touch, with people aged 75 or over being told to call their GPs. \"We will start scheduling cohorts 5, 6, and 7 from 15 February and will update you on how you will be contacted,\" the health board said. Hywel Dda health board chief executive Steve Moore said he was confident everyone in groups one-four would have been offered the vaccine in the west Wales area by Monday. Anyone aged 70-74, or classed as clinically extremely vulnerable, or shielding, are being urged to contact the health board's booking centre. \"However, people change phone numbers or move to a new house and may not always update their contact details with health services,\" he said. \"This is why we want to make absolutely sure no one has missed an appointment for their vaccination.\" There had previously been criticism that the vaccination rollout in Wales had faced a slower start than the rest of the UK. Wales' aim is to ensure just under 750,000 people - including health workers and people aged over 70 - get a first dose by mid-February. A Welsh Government spokesperson said: \"We have been asking people to wait until contacted directly by the NHS.

Whether at the school gates, or in the counselling arena, mums and dads tell me they cannot cope. I would go so far to say that anyone who thinks working and schooling young children from home has been a success is sadly ill-informed. My husband and I have tried to make the memories of this time more joyful and positive. So we camped in our (courtyard) garden and have had more late nights, cuddled up watching movies than we would have done previously. However, it has inevitably been a very demanding time for everyone. When people ask how I am doing, I often joke that I am \"surviving not thriving\". When the work calls start, it is very hard to be there for our children. Running feral So many working parents have shared with me stories of having to work on constant Zoom calls while their children \"run feral\". One single mum called time on her employer after being on yet another conference call when she heard a gushing sound next door. Her three children - aged 10, 7 and 3 - had run a bath and left the water running. The entire kitchen was flooded. Another told me how her four-year-old had left a note to his dad: \"This is a storee about a daddy called Androoo, he werced all the time.\" Parents have spoken of their fears around their children being constantly online. One teacher was in tears to me about the guilt she felt when she was upstairs \"looking after other people's children\", while her own were downstairs alone, playing video games. To be physically present for our children but not emotionally available - shooing them away while on work calls, sending them downstairs to play while we work upstairs - sends them a very definite message: you're in the way. They feel a deep sense of rejection from what is, to them, a very visible representation that work comes before them. \"I can't go on,\" one mum told me. \"It's horrific,\" said another, for whom the fear of losing her job means she cannot put her children first. Others tell me how inadequate they feel. Some say they are drinking more and shouting too much. Fathers say the pressure of an uncertain future and trying to home-school young children has pushed them to the brink. One dad told me he had never smacked his children but said he had come close during lockdown. A mother admitted that her 10-year-old daughter woke her up to say goodbye to her as she left for school. Frazzled, exhausted and fearful after the loss of her husband's job, and with her own in the balance, she had fallen asleep at the kitchen table over breakfast. Even teachers are struggling. Ed Vainker, executive principal at Reach Academy, Feltham, in west London, shared with me the difficulty he has had. \"I don't want to have to be headteacher to my child. Home schooling can challenge the parent-child relationship.\" We can repair this damage - but only if we collectively acknowledge that the combination of home schooling and working from home is, quite frankly, not working. \"We need to think about how to support parents and teachers, with their own feelings of vulnerability, so they feel equipped to manage what often feels so very unmanageable,\" Dame Benita Refson, founder and president of children's mental health charity Place2Be, says. \"As parents and teachers, our own behaviour speaks volumes to children, often leaving a lasting impression on the way the child views their world.\" Dame Benny says many children are fearful of returning to school. The lack of routine means returning to class is going to be difficult for them. Children from black and Asian communities may be particularly anxious, given the news reports of disproportionate impacts of coronavirus on their communities. Kate's tips to deal with stress at home What helps me is to ensure I have had time to connect with my children each day, to create \"magic moments\" as I call them. Yesterday, it was a game of skipping where my tripping up was the highlight. The day before we baked. The day before that we made playdough and just sat and created \"food\". My children are young, but for all our children having our physical presence - watching a movie, or during a meal - is often what they crave the most, even though they might not always articulate it. These are the moments our children will remember of this period - the quality time, without phones, without being hurried, just \"being\" and laughing. When we carve out that time for our children, to be with them exclusively, it's the equivalent of a big, long hug. It makes them feel safe. And I cannot stress enough how much it helps us as parents too.",

He intends to carry on as co-pilot but will spend the coming months learning how to fly Boeing 737s. Until now Willem-Alexander has worked behind the joystick of a Fokker and it was already known that he had appeared as a \"guest pilot\" before being crowned king, in order to maintain his pilot's licence. What was not clear was that he was co-piloting passenger flights incognito, twice a month as king, often with KLM Captain Maarten Putman. The Dutch government said last month that he had flown Fokker 70 aircraft for both the government and KLM Cityhopper service, and that the plane was being replaced this year with a 737. Cityhopper flights are aimed mainly at business travellers in dozens of European destinations, particularly in the UK, Germany and Norway. Rarely recognised on board Willem-Alexander once said that if he had not been born in a palace, his dream would have been to fly a big passenger plane such as a Boeing 747, so it is no surprise that he intends to retrain for the updated plane. He told De Telegraaf that he never used his name when addressing passengers and was rarely recognised in uniform and wearing his KLM cap. However, he admitted that some passengers had recognised his voice. \"The advantage is that I can always say that I warmly welcome passengers on behalf of the captain and crew,\" he said. \"Then I don't have to give my name.\" Passengers were more likely to realise they were being flown by royalty before the 11 September attacks on the US in 2001 as the cockpit door was unlocked. But there was now less contact with the cabin, he said. Not the only flying royal The Dutch king's appetite for flying was apparently encouraged by his mother, Beatrix, who abdicated as queen in 2013. And he is on a long list of royal pilots: Leaving problems on the ground In his interview, King Willem-Alexander appeared enthusiastic about his future prospects as a co-pilot. \"It also seemed nice to fly to other destinations one day, with more passengers and bigger distances. That was the real motive for training on the 737,\" he said. The king explained that the most important thing for him was to have a hobby he could fully concentrate on and that flying was his biggest way of relaxing. \"You have a plane, passengers and crew and you are responsible for them. You can't take your problems with you off the ground. You can completely switch off for a while and focus on something else.\"",

They measure alcohol levels in water vapour on the surface of the skin. The measurements are recorded automatically every 30 minutes. Supporters of the device say they can be used to help parents prove their sobriety and resist the temptation to drink. The Family Drug and Alcohol Court (FDAC), built on the American model of a \"problem-solving court\", tries to improve the way care proceedings work: judges help parents to overcome their addiction with the assistance of a team of specialists attached to the court. The court is run by the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust and children's charity Coram. An evaluation of the project by researchers from Brunel University found mothers assisted by the court were more likely to be reunited with their children. District Judge Nicholas Crichton, who pioneered FDAC, told the BBC it came out a desire to do more than just \"process\" cases: \"In the worst scenarios I am seeing parents who have been class A drug addicted from age of 10, 11 or 12. \"I became very depressed with just removing child after child after child from the same family and not seeing anything change.\" Remote reports Now the court has completed a six-month pilot of the ScramX alcohol monitoring bracelet, supplied by drug-testing firm Concateno. Judge Crichton says it gives the court more confidence that a parent has stopped abusing alcohol. The bracelets wirelessly report alcohol levels every 30 minutes. Infrared and temperature sensors ensure that any tampering with the device can be easily identified. Although they are bulky and have to be worn around the ankle next to the skin, users of the devices say they are quickly forgotten. The devices are not waterproof and those wearing them must shower rather than take a bath. Parents' choice FDAC made use of the ankle bracelets voluntary, but 13 out of 14 parents accepted an offer to use the technology. Although a formal evaluation of the device has yet to take place, one parent who spoke to the BBC, but did not wish to be named, said she believed it was a major factor in her not drinking alcohol in six months. \"The longer you are in sobriety the more chance you've got of staying sober… and it's just impossible to drink with it on,\" she said. As a result of her progress the court decided not to place a young daughter in care. She no longer wears a device, but says she would like to have worn it for longer. The UK suppliers of the ankle bracelets say they are no more expensive than other methods of testing for alcohol, but provide the court with more useful information. But in spite of the court's success its central government funding has ended, and it is now reliant on support from local authorities. A Coram spokeswoman said the pilot had been funded by several government departments - Department for Education, the Ministry of Justice, Home Office, and the Department of Health - and local authorities. She said: \"FDAC is now funded by five London boroughs, following the successful conclusion of the pilot, and has also been replicated with Gloucestershire County Council.\" A Ministry of Justice spokeswoman said it was a privately-run pilot, which was not overseen or being piloted for the government.

Shortly afterwards Kevin received a call from someone posing as an engineer working for the company, who quoted the same unique reference number he'd been given. With no reason to suspect the person he was talking to wasn't who they claimed to be, Kevin agreed to give them access to his computer. The fraudsters managed to access both his HSBC and NatWest accounts. An attempt to move money from his HSBC account was stopped by the bank and flagged as fraudulent. After being unable to move any money out of his HSBC account, the fraudsters managed to transfer £11,000 from his NatWest account. At the time, the bank refused to refund Kevin because he allowed fraudsters to take over his computer. After BBC Watchdog Live investigated, the bank recognised they did not get it right and have \"wholeheartedly apologised for the distress caused.\" \"The way the bank dealt with it is appalling, they've blamed me as a customer. Basically they're saying that because I turned the computer on it's my fault.\" \"As a former police officer, I find that really offensive because that's like blaming you as a victim,\" said Kevin. Fraud was also attempted on Kevin's HSBC account. However, the bank stopped this from happening. Fraud lawyer Mr Chauhan said the rules were clear and how Kevin was conned was sophisticated. \"NatWest somehow have not picked this up as an unusual transaction, £11,000 out of the blue, is an odd transaction. HSBC clearly have something that works and NatWest on this occasion have something that doesn't.\" NatWest said it had recently increased the warnings it issued to customers making transactions on the app and online; updated its app; increased alerts to customers and continued to invest heavily in its security features. \"Since February, we've carried out additional checks on more than 11,000 payments and stopped £8.7m of potential scam payments after alerting our customers. \"When customers do become victim to fraud or scams, we treat each case individually and constantly update our processes and procedures to ensure they are fair and above or in-line with the industry and guidance from the ombudsman and regulators. \"Consequentially complaints to FOS have decreased by 48%,\" it said. The bank said it now wanted to work with the BBC to review the cases of the customers who've contacted the show because they've been dissatisfied with the outcome of their fraud complaint. \"We are a founding member of the Contingent Reimbursement Model code launched yesterday and are committed to working with regulators, law enforcers and the industry to try to reduce fraud and increase security for our customers,\" it added. A new voluntary code designed to stop victims of fraud losing money came into effect this week. The code sets clear standards for banks to protect customers against fraud and take action in the event it does happen.

The founders include film director and explorer James Cameron as well as Google's chief executive Larry Page and its executive chairman Eric Schmidt. They even aim to create a fuel depot in space by 2020. However, several scientists have responded with scepticism, calling the plan daring, difficult and highly expensive. They struggle to see how it could be cost-effective, even with platinum and gold worth nearly £35 per gram ($1,600 an ounce). An upcoming Nasa mission to return just 60g (two ounces) of material from an asteroid to Earth will cost about $1bn. The inaugural step, to be achieved in the next 18 to 24 months, would be launching the first in a series of private telescopes that would search for asteroid targets rich in resources. The intention will be to open deep-space exploration to private industry. Within five to 10 years, however, the company expects to progress from selling observation platforms in orbit around Earth to prospecting services. It plans to tap some of the thousands of asteroids that pass relatively close to Earth and extract their raw materials. The company, known as Planetary Resources, is also backed by space tourism pioneer Eric Anderson, X-Prize founder Peter Diamandis, Ross Perot Jr, son of the former US presidential candidate, and veteran astronaut Tom Jones. Long game \"We have a long view. We're not expecting this company to be an overnight financial home run. This is going to take time,\" Eric Anderson told the Reuters news agency. The billionaires are hoping that the real financial returns, which are decades away, will come from mining asteroids for platinum group metals and rare minerals. \"If you look back historically at what has caused humanity to make its largest investments in exploration and in transportation, it has been going after resources, whether it's the Europeans going after the spice routes or the American settlers looking toward the west for gold, oil, timber or land,\" Mr Diamandis explained. Water from asteroids could be broken down in space to liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen for rocket fuel. Water is very expensive to get off the ground so the plan is to take it from an asteroid to a spot in space where it can be converted into fuel. From there, it could be shipped to Earth orbit for refueling commercial satellites or spacecraft. \"A depot within a decade seems incredible. I hope there will be someone to use it,\" Dr Andrew Cheng, a planetary scientist at Johns Hopkins University's Applied Physics Laboratory told the Associated Press. \"And I have high hopes that commercial uses of space will become profitable beyond Earth orbit. Maybe the time has come.\" Prof Jay Melosh from Purdue University said that the costs were just too high, calling space exploration \"a sport that only wealthy nations, and those wishing to demonstrate their technical prowess, can afford to indulge.\" Eric Anderson, who co-founded the space tourism firm Space Adventures, said he was used to sceptics. \"Before we started launching people into space as private citizens, people thought that was a pie-in-the-sky idea,\" He said. \"We're in this for decades. But it's not a charity. And we'll make money from the beginning.\"",

He said it will be the first time a full Shakespeare play is performed in British Sign Language for an audience of both deaf and hearing people. Each play is in a different language. Globe to Globe, which is produced by the theatre, is part of the World Shakespeare Festival (WSF), which will include thousands of global performers in 70 shows as well as a British Museum exhibition. The WSF is part of London 2012 Festival, which is organised by the Cultural Olympiad - a cultural celebration for next year's Olympics. Dromgoole spoke at the launch of Globe to Globe of the \"overwhelming enthusiasm from the international community to come here\". He said the Globe, on the banks of London's River Thames, was a \"temple of theatre and Shakespeare\" and that he had been surprised by its ability to \"bring in heavyweight international theatre companies\". Deafinitely Theatre from London, has translated and will perform the text of Love's Labour's Lost in British Sign Language (BSL). Dromgoole described the performance as a \"thrilling theatrical adventure for anyone\". Othello is to be staged in hip-hop by the \"delightfully cheeky\" Q Brothers from Chicago in the US, Dromgoole said, adding they offer a \"fresh, urban take on Shakespeare's tragedy\" which will be \"spun out, smashed up and lyrically rewritten over original beats\". Cymbeline will be performed by a specially formed theatre company from the newly independent South Sudan, which became a country in its own right in July this year following decades of conflict. Dromgoole said the company had sent him a 20-page document requesting participation in Globe to Globe, adding: \"The size of their desire to come here was simply overwhelming. \"Out of the horrific troubles suffered by this country's people, the first signs of hope for the future are springing. This production marks an historic step for the country's future.\" Theatre companies from the Balkans - Serbia, Albania and Macedonia - will each perform one of the three Henry VI plays, which focus on the turbulent civil Wars of the Roses in 15th century England. Describing the \"Balkan trilogy\" as a performance of \"electrifying plays\", he said it will be the first time they have all been performed at the Globe. One of the stars of the 2002 film Whale Rider, Rawiri Paratene, has produced New Zealand's version of Troilus and Cressida featuring the haka, waiata and many other aspects of Maori culture. The film received an Oscar nomination for best actress. Despite the variety of languages being used for the performances, surtitles translating the text into English will not be used. Surtitles are translated or transcribed dialogue or lyrics projected above a stage or displayed on a screen for the audience. The Globe's artistic director has described them as an \"incessant distraction\" and said they would be used during the Globe performances only to describe the action of the scene. He also spoke of the \"joy of hearing stories in unfamiliar languages\" but said that the Globe was still going to send \"ambassadors\" to ex-pat communities in the UK to encourage people to go and hear Shakespeare in their own tongue. The \"ambassadors\" will visit the South Korean community in Kingston-upon-Thames, Bangla speakers in Tower Hamlets and Brazilians in Stockwell, Brent and Bayswater. He said he hoped Globe to Globe \"might be something that would greatly appeal\". He added that the event will cost about £1.8m in total and that 45% of the costs would be covered by box office. The Globe has also received funding from the London Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games (Locog). Globe to Globe will run for six weeks, starting on Shakespeare's birthday next year on 23 April. Ticket prices start at £5, and a £100 Yard Olympian ticket will grant you admission to all the plays. There are other multi-buy tickets available - each with an Olympic-themed name.",

President Obama said it was \"just too easy\" for individuals to carry out such mass shootings in the US. He said it was possible the latest incident was terror-related but the authorities do not know at this stage. The FBI is investigating terrorism and a workplace grudge as possible motives, the bureau's Los Angeles office said earlier. The incident took place at the Inland Regional Center in San Bernardino, where Farook worked. It marks the deadliest mass shooting in the US since 26 people were killed at a school in Newtown, Connecticut in 2012. Farook and Malik are thought to be a couple with a six-month-old baby. Police said the attack indicated there had been \"some degree of planning\". San Bernardino shooting: What we know Community shock at shooting Politicians 'shamed' for offering prayers The attack took place at an event on Wednesday for Farook's colleagues, which Farook attended. He had been a San Bernardino public health employee for five years, police chief Jarrod Burguan said. Mr Burguan said that Farook had left the event \"under some circumstances that were described as angry\". He returned with Malik to open fire, armed with assault rifles and semi-automatic handguns and wearing military-style clothing. Hundreds of people were evacuated as police officers swept through the massive complex. Others locked themselves in rooms waiting for police to arrive. Terry Petit's daughter, who works at the centre, sent him a text message from inside the centre, according to the Associated Press. She wrote: \"People shot. In the office waiting for cops. Pray for us. I am locked in an office.\" Explosive devices found Both suspects were killed in their vehicle after a shoot-out with police involving 20 officers. A tip-off had earlier led police to a house in nearby Redlands. A third person seen running from the scene was detained, but police said it was unclear whether they were involved. The authorities said all the weapons had been purchased legally but did not explain how they got into the hands of the perpetrators. Three explosives devices were also found at the centre. Farook, who was born in the US, worked for the county as an environmental health specialist, police said. They had no information on whether he had a criminal record, nor further details on Malik. Colleagues told the Los Angeles Times that Farook had travelled to Saudi Arabia and returned with a new wife. The couple had a young baby, they said. The pair had dropped off their infant with relatives early on Wednesday, Hussam Ayloush of the Council on American-Islamic Relations said after talking with family. Farook's brother-in-law Farhan Khan told a press conference he had \"absolutely no idea\" what could have prompted the shooting.

            "input": "By Andrew WalkerBBC World Service economics correspondent It reckons the recent pick-up has been pretty broad-based, particularly in Europe and Asia. Tax reforms in the United States are expected to stimulate economic activity, especially business investment. But the IMF has substantially downgraded its forecast for South Africa for this year and next. The new global forecast has growth of 3.9% this year and next. That represents an upgrade of 0.2% for each year. It also constitutes faster expansion than previous years (3.7% in 2017; 3.2% in 2016). The improvement is widespread. The report says 120 economies accounting for three-quarters of global economic activity saw a pick-up last year. Both developed and emerging economies were affected. That, the IMF says, is the broadest synchronised global growth upsurge since 2010. Indicators from business surveys suggest manufacturing activity will remain strong. Although the improved performance towards the end of last year was widespread, the report mentions Asia and Europe as having had \"notable\" positive surprises in growth. Looking ahead, the IMF expects the tax reforms agreed in the US last year to stimulate the country's economy. The main impact that the report envisages is on business investment, as a result of lower corporate taxes. The total cumulative effect up to 2020 is predicted to be 1.2%. The impact of the reforms on the US and its trading partners accounts for about half of the global growth revision for this year and next. But because some of the provisions in the tax reform are temporary, the IMF expects slower growth for a few years from 2022. But there was a warning from the IMF's chief economist, Maurice Obstfeld, when he introduced the report at a news conference in Davos: \"The present economic momentum reflects a confluence of factors that is unlikely to last for long.\" It's important, he argued, that governments take steps to address impediments to growth, to make it more inclusive and to make economies more resilient when the next downturn comes. There are a small number of forecasts that have been lowered for individual countries. US Senate struggles to end budget deadlock UK growth upgrade could 'dwarf' Brexit hit The largest negative change is for South Africa, particularly 2019, where the downgrade is 0.7%. There's a smaller reduction for his year. The changes reflect what the IMF calls increased political uncertainty weighing on confidence and investment. There is also a small (0.1%) downgrade for the UK in 2019. The report, which is an update between the IMF's full scale forecasting exercises, does not give a reason. It predicts UK growth of 1.5% this year and next. Within the G7 leading developed countries, that is better than Italy and Japan, but behind the other members of the group. The report notes the Brexit negotiations as one of a number of potential risks to the outlook. It is one example where long-standing international commercial agreements are under renegotiation. The IMF says an increase in trade barriers and regulatory realignments, if that were the result of these renegotiations, could weigh on global investment and reduce efficiency. The report warns that a failure to make growth more inclusive could increase pressures for what it calls \"inward-looking policies\" - by which the IMF means new trade barriers, which it regards as bad for economic growth.",

In the book, frustrated by her war-wounded, impotent husband Clifford, Connie Chatterley risked scandal by embarking on a steamy affair with their working class gamekeeper Oliver Mellors. Now, 90 years after the book was written, Lady Chatterley has turned to Tinder and been flirting with modern men. Sort of. Lady Chatterley's presence on Tinder has come courtesy of Libby Heaney, who has created a profile for the character and programmed a bot to chat with real men, using only lines from the book. She also created profiles for Clifford and Mellors. After around 800 conversations with real romance-seekers, the exchanges are part of an artwork called Lady Chatterley's Tinderbot, which will be exhibited for the first time in the UK at the Lowry arts centre in Salford from Saturday. Lady Chatterley's lines are in blue: Heaney said she was interested in exploring \"how Tinder changes how we interact with each other, and changes our views on dating and love and relationships and sex\". Her bot automatically swiped left or right on a person's profile and entered into conversations using the character's original dialogue. \"If Lady Chatterley is repeating the same types of conversations, you will always get some people who just ask for sex, you'll get some people who are really lonely, who seem nice, and some people who are really confused by the whole thing,\" Heaney says. A few Tinder users even worked out where the lines were from and replied using quotes themselves. Heaney used her own photo for Lady Chatterley's profile picture, and her boyfriend's photo for Clifford and Mellors. The Tinderbots used an algorithm to analyse the human's message and decide which quote to send in reply. \"If it sounds more positive, the bot will reply using a more positive message,\" Heaney says. \"And if it is more negative it will reply using a more negative message, but all still taken from the book.\" The book was notorious for its language and was banned in the UK until an obscenity trial cleared it for publication in 1960. Some of the chat-up lines used by the bots included the explicit language. Heaney says there were other considerations. The bot only sent a maximum of three messages to any one person to avoid stringing them along. \"The person might keep replying after that. Some people replied 10 times after that. Obviously they really liked her or him.\" The artist says she wanted to think about whether it's good that we're automating parts of our lives - and whether that might extend to things we think are very personal, like falling in love. \"In terms of thinking to the future and how we're automating different aspects of our lives, there's really a strong sense that we're going a bit too far, we're trying to automate our love lives,\" she says. The software she used was available to anyone. \"It does pose questions about how maybe we'll all have a robot at some point to act on our behalf,\" she says. \"So there might be a virtual Libby who goes on Tinder with a virtual someone else and eventually the bots fall in love - so you think, maybe I'll chat to him in real life now. \"So it's asking questions about how far digital automation comes into things that you think are very, very human.\" The conversations will be shown on a screen as part of the Humansbeingdigital exhibition at The Lowry from 18 November to 25 February 2018.

It comes after LBC Radio obtained what it said was an internal Labour document detailing 45 cases, involving messages posted by members on social media. Speaking to BBC One's Sunday Politics Wales programme, Lord Hain said he was \"very disturbed\" by the investigation, \"because I think it highlights what has been a curse in the Labour party over this past period\". \"We've always been the party that champions individual liberty and human rights, and I find it deeply deeply upsetting and painful that anti-Semitism and anti-Semitic attacks have got to the point where the police are investigating it in the Labour party,\" said the former MP for Neath. \"That's the sort of thing you expect from fascists and racists and anti-Semites, you don't expect it from members of the Labour party.\" He said: \"If the party leader had been tough enough in stamping it out... this particular investigation I don't suppose would ever have occurred.\" \"There is a particular problem of a particular small group on the hard left in the Labour party, who seem to think that anybody standing up for their particular view in the Israel-Palestinian conflict, if they take a view that is seeming to defend the Jewish interest in that conflict, then they are targets,\" Lord Hain said. \"I do not believe this has actually assisted the Palestinian cause.

Eli Wyatt moved miles away from her family in Monmouthshire to work and live on site at Ysbyty Glan Clwyd in Denbighshire, where she is treating coronavirus and stroke patients. The 23-year-old Cardiff student said her family were worried about her, but she knew when the time came she would want to help. \"To be able to help when I know that I've got the ability is a big privilege,\" she said. \"I've always loved being part of a team… so being part of the wider team of the NHS at this point while we're dealing with this crisis feels kind of empowering.\" Eli said there had been some \"demoralising\" days treating patients who would not survive, and it had been a steep learning curve. \"It's a really tough thing for people to go through, especially in this environment, because a lot of the time they're going through it on their own without their families,\" she said. The final-year students will graduate early, and are being paid, but placements are optional. Some students have opted out of placements because either they or their family members are classed as high risk, while some are self-isolating. Rhian Goodfellow, who runs the undergraduate medicine programme at Cardiff University, said it was \"humbling\" that so many students had offered to help. \"We're all phenomenally proud of them, the way that they all stepped up in such a selfless way when things weren't going right,\" she said. Another 800 students from other year groups at the university's medical school have signed up to a volunteer bank, meaning they could be called upon to help if there is a second wave of the virus. While the students have been given training in wearing personal protective equipment and moving patients while on ventilators, Dr Goodfellow said it would be a challenging time for the students. \"Students are seeing so many people dying, despite everybody's best efforts… it's something that's very difficult to witness,\" she said. \"It's something that you've got to really think about. Even for professionals that have been doing it for many, many years. It's something that's very difficult for all of us.\" Away from the front line, some medical students are helping prepare others to treat those with coronavirus. Tom Beresford, 23, from Swansea, is helping to develop online training resources for healthcare professionals in Wales on top of his studies. He has already produced e-learning material on resuscitation and protective equipment that has been used by health boards across Wales. Tom is not getting paid for his work, and while he has been granted extensions for his university work, he said the change had been dramatic. \"Overnight we went from working on assessments to working on guidance that's going to be put into practice by staff who are actively fighting the virus,\" he said. He said seeing his fellow students working on the front line voluntarily was a \"testament to the type of people they are\". \"I'm immensely proud of them,\" he said.",

            "input": "By Jonathan AmosBBC Science Correspondent Having spent 12 years flying around the ringed planet and its moons at a relatively safe distance, the probe is now about to undertake a series of daredevil manoeuvres. These will see the satellite repeatedly dive extremely close to - and through - the rings over the next nine months. The manoeuvres will culminate in Cassini dumping itself in the atmosphere of the giant planet. This destructive ending is necessary because the spacecraft is running low on fuel. Nasa (US space agency), which leads the Cassini mission, needs to make sure that an out-of-control probe cannot at some future date crash into any of Saturn’s moons - in particular, Enceladus and Titan. There is a chance these moons harbour life, and however remote the possibility - a colliding satellite could introduce contamination from Earth. This must not be allowed to happen. But in the lead up to its safe disposal - set for 15 September next year - Cassini should gather some remarkable science. Starting on Wednesday, Cassini will repeatedly climb high above Saturn's north pole before then plunging to a point just outside the F ring (the outer boundary of the main ring system). The probe will do 20 such orbits, even sampling some of the particles and gases associated with the F ring. Starting on 22 April next year, Cassini will then initiate a series of dives that take it in between the inner edge of the rings and the planet’s atmosphere. On occasion, it could pass less than 2,000km above Saturn’s cloud tops. As well as returning some spectacular imagery of the rings and moonlets previously seen only from a large distance, these upcoming manoeuvres are designed to permit close-up investigation of Saturn’s interior. “One of the big outstanding questions at Saturn, for example, is: we don’t know how long a day is. We have a large error. It’s 10.7 hours plus or minus 0.2 hours,” said magnetic field instrument principal investigator, Prof Michele Dougherty. “Come and ask me afterwards but I think what we learn about the internal structure of the planet could be among the great discoveries of mission,” the Imperial College London, UK, scientist told BBC News. Interestingly, many of the unknowns at Saturn are similar to the ones also now being pursued by Nasa’s Juno spacecraft at Jupiter - fascinating mysteries such as whether there is a solid core at the planet's centre. “It’s as if we’re about to do a whole new mission at Saturn - a Juno-type mission at Saturn,” said Prof Dougherty. Cassini is a cooperative venture between Nasa, the European Space Agency and the Italian space agency. The probe launched in 1997 and arrived at Saturn in July 2004. Key discoveries have included the determination that Enceladus is spewing water into space from a sub-surface ocean, and that Titan is a strange Earth-like world where lakes and seas are fed by rivers and rain - except that all the liquid is made up of hydrocarbons such as methane.

Ron Hogg, County Durham's Police, Crime and Victims' Commissioner, says such treatment lowers offending levels. Opponents claim trials have not shown significant benefits. Mr Hogg told BBC Newcastle existing national policies had not been effective and pointed to six-year trials in Darlington, London and Brighton which he said had helped wean users off the drug. Addicts were given the opiate in consumption rooms, often referred to as \"shooting galleries\", supervised by medical professionals. \"It got them back into a normal life and it cut crime,\" he said. \"We saw health benefits for the individuals, we saw needles being taken off the street, so there's an awful lot of evidence both in the UK and across the world that such schemes do actually work. \"All police and crime commissioners spend a lot of money on what we call diversionary work - community projects and youth offending schemes - because we know this will stop people committing crime. \"This is just an extension of that rationale. The controversiality is because it's drugs.\" 'Not unusual' Mr Hogg said the UK had the highest rate of heroin, cocaine and ecstasy use across the European Union with drug-induced deaths totalling 45 people per million compared with 17 per million in the EU. Aiming to introduce the scheme \"by the end of this year\", he added the force's public health partners were working out the cost of administering the drug to users twice-daily. He previously mooted such a move in 2013. \"If we go back to the 1960s, doctors used to prescribe heroin as a means of treating someone back to recovery. It's not that unusual,\" he said. \"We've got to consider the Misuse of Drugs Act has been in since 1971 and we haven't arrested the way out of the problem, have we?\" A Home Office spokesman said there was evidence \"supervised use of [diamorphine] in a medical environment as part of a treatment plan can help keep patients in treatment and out of criminal behaviour\". However, David Raynes of the National Drug Prevention Alliance, warned the move \"will not stop addicts being addicts\". \"It doesn't stop people using street drugs,\" he said. \"It may reduce crime marginally, but it doesn't reduce crime permanently.\"",

The new tenant Wyzework now also claims delays in finalising an agreement cost the firm millions of pounds in revenue. The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government, responsible for the centre, said costs in the past two years had amounted to more than £4m. The 30,488 sq ft (2,832.5 sq m) headquarters near Cambridge was designed to answer all emergency fire calls from Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, north Essex, Hertfordshire, Norfolk and Suffolk. It was built as part of the last Labour government's plans to reduce costs by replacing county centres with regional fire control hubs. The building was abandoned in 2010 after the Conservative/Liberal Democrat coalition government decided the plan could not \"be delivered to an acceptable timeframe\". David Keegan, chief executive of business technical services firm Wyzework, said the tenancy was agreed in January 2018 but delays meant they did not get the keys until December last year. The firm said it was forced to \"cancel contracts with clients\" because delays cost them a \"considerable amount\" of money. A ministry spokesman said: \"Whilst we have been liable for these costs [rent and services] we have done everything we can to reduce them wherever possible. \"The tenancy agreement was negotiated and finalised as quickly as possible.\" The ministry revealed figures for the past two years for rent, rates, maintenance and services. In 2017-18 costs were £1,995,394.25 and in 2018-19 they were £2,121,401.96. The government had been responsible for the building and its costs since 2009.

The UK proposal would see the whole UK matching EU trade tariffs for a period, if a trade deal is not reached by 2021. Mr Barnier said the UK paper \"raises more questions than it answers\" but would be examined \"objectively\". He also said some Brexit supporters wanted to blame Brussels for the UK not keeping some of the benefits of EU membership after Brexit adding: \"We are not going to be intimidated by this form of blame game.\" The UK proposal was was drawn up after a row in cabinet in which Brexit Secretary David Davis reportedly threatened to resign. What does all of this mean? By BBC Political Correspondent Alex Forsyth This temporary \"backstop\" is meant to prevent a hard border on the island of Ireland by kicking in if alternative customs arrangements can't be negotiated and implemented in time for the end of the transition period in December 2020. The EU's version would see Northern Ireland stay in the EU customs union, meaning a customs border in the Irish Sea. That is wholly unacceptable to Theresa May - and the DUP who back her in parliament. So the prime minister proposed an alternative which would see the whole of the UK match EU tariffs. Today Mr Barnier suggested that would be problematic. And he raised concerns about the fact it would be time-limited; something key Brexiteers are demanding because they don't want the UK to stay closely tied to the EU indefinitely. So while the EU's chief negotiator didn't rule out the UK's proposal altogether, he certainly poured cold water on it. So far it seems agreement - even on the fallback option - is proving pretty tricky. What has Michel Barnier said? He said the UK's proposals would be measured against three questions - whether it was a \"workable solution\" to avoiding a hard border, whether it respected the integrity of the single market and customs union and whether it was what he called an \"all weather backstop\". Please upgrade your browser Your guide to Brexit jargon The EU's proposal, he told a press conference in Brussels, met these tests and that it was not necessarily \"feasible\" to extend the EU's offer of continued participation in key elements of the customs union in Northern Ireland to cover the whole of the UK. \"Let me be clear: our backstop cannot be extended to the whole UK. Why? Because it has been designed for the specific situation of Northern Ireland.\" He also stressed his preference for the EU's border in the Irish sea plan, saying: \"Checks carried out on ferries are less disruptive than along a 500km-long land border.\" In addition, these checks can build on arrangements and facilities which already exist between the rest of the UK and Northern Ireland.\" He said the \"time-limited\" nature of the UK proposal - with an \"expected\" end date of December 2021 - was also problematic. With a nod to Mrs May's famous \"Brexit means Brexit\" phrase, Mr Barnier said: \"Backstop means backstop. \"The temporary backstop is not in line with what we want or what Ireland and Northern Ireland want and need.\" But later he tweeted that he was not rejecting the UK customs paper: How has the UK government responded? In a statement issued following Mr Barnier's press conference, Downing Street said: \"The prime minister has been clear that we will never accept a customs border between Northern Ireland and the rest of the United Kingdom. \"We are also committed to maintaining the integrity of our own internal market. That position will not change. The commission's proposals did not achieve this, which is why we have put forward our own backstop solutions for customs.\" It added that all sides had agreed to \"protect the Belfast Agreement [Good Friday Agreement] in all its parts\". \"Michel Barnier has confirmed today that discussions will now continue on our proposal.\" What does the DUP say? Northern Ireland's Democratic Unionist Party, whose MPs back Mrs May's minority government, responded angrily to Mr Barnier's comments, which they said they showed the EU negotiator had \"no respect for the principle of consent or the constitutional integrity of the United Kingdom\". Deputy Leader Nigel Dodds said: \"This is nothing more than an outrageous attempt to revert to the annexation of Northern Ireland. We will not accept such a proposal.\" Meanwhile, back in the UK... At the end of a turbulent week for Mrs May - in which she saw off the threat of a cabinet resignation over the UK's customs paper on Thursday - another cabinet Brexiteer, Boris Johnson, was recorded talking about Brexit in very candid terms at a private dinner. The foreign secretary said concerns about the Irish border had been overhyped and that Donald Trump might do a better job negotiating Brexit. In a recording obtained by Buzzfeed, he was said to have described the Irish border issue as \"pure millennium bug stuff\" and added: \"Imagine Trump doing Brexit. \"He'd go in bloody hard... There'd be all sorts of breakdowns, all sorts of chaos. Everyone would think he'd gone mad. But actually you might get somewhere. It's a very, very good thought.\" He also took a swipe at Chancellor Philip Hammond, calling the Treasury \"the heart of Remain\". Brexit-supporting Tory MPs applauded the foreign secretary but Mr Hammond said his \"advice to colleagues\" was to engage with the EU and to understand their concerns.",

Research by the City regulator shows that 78% of UK adults borrowed through some kind of credit or loan product at some point during the previous year - it is a way of life. Yet, 11 million people have no more than £100 in savings to fall back on, while 4.1 million people have found themselves in financial difficulty by missing a number of repayments or domestic bills. Disappearing payday lenders Payday loans were charged high levels of interest, but their speedy payouts and willingness to lend to people the banks dismissed made them popular. They were controversial and their lending practices - giving people loans they could not afford to repay - ultimately led to the downfall of some of the biggest players. Wonga was a high-profile collapse last year. The Money Shop closed its doors and now QuickQuid has gone into administration. Others are still operating. \"Sometimes people think there isn't an alternative, as they may have a poor credit score,\" Caroline Siarkiewicz, acting chief executive of the Money and Pensions Service, told the BBC. But she stresses that this is not true and has never been true. The number of people in England and Wales finding themselves with unmanageable debt and going financially insolvent has hit its highest level since 2010. Personal insolvencies rose by 23% year-on-year to 30,879 in the third quarter of the year, official figures show. Anyone can find themselves in a similar situation if they fail or are unable to repay their debts. For those who need short-term credit and are confident of repaying the money, there are options - as outlined by the Money and Pensions Service - without resorting to illegal money lenders, known as loan sharks. Independent lenders Community Development Finance Institutions (CDFIs) are small independent organisations that offer loans to people who have been turned down by their bank or credit card company. They are all registered with the City regulator, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), and lend to individuals, businesses and social enterprises. There may be relatively few in your area. The Finding Finance website has a searchable list of these lenders. Asking for an advance at work An employer may give some wages up front for those who need the money. They may also have grants for specific costs, such as travelling to work. Some organisations have signed up to schemes that allow people to access some of their wages as they earn them, rather than wait until a monthly payday. For those on benefits, short-term advances may be granted by JobCentre Plus advisers. Borrowing from family and friends This option seems to be growing in popularity, but can be fraught with emotional complications. Experts say that, even when dealing with loved ones, it is crucial to keep the financial interaction professional. So an agreement should be put in writing, a repayment plan agreed, and details should be set out of the consequences if a repayment is late or never comes. Visiting a credit union Credit unions are locally-based organisations, where members pool their savings to lend to one another. There is a cap on the level of interest that can be charged. Generally, they charge about 1% a month. The UK credit union sector remains small compared with other countries. Using a credit card or overdraft Credit cards can be used when borrowers are confident of being able to paying off the balance. The same is true of an overdraft, which is agreed with the bank, although interest levels can be high. Social schemes People on certain benefits can apply for an interest-free Budgeting Loan from the Social Fund of as much as £800. This is designed to help pay for anything from the extra bills when moving home to maternity costs. Councils may also be able to give money for essentials such as food, heating and clothes through the local welfare assistance scheme. Or don't borrow at all Consumer groups stress that borrowing for everyday essentials could simply lead to bigger problems. Budgeting can tighten up finances, but there are many free advisers who will help you find the best way forward. Citizens Advice has specialist money advisers, while other organisations that can help include StepChange, Christians Against Poverty, Debt Advice Foundation, National Debtline and Shelter.",

Central character Meursault is a man alienated from the society in which he lives. There's The Catcher in the Rye by JD Salinger. Central character Holden is alienated from the society in which he lives. George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four is a critique of totalitarian societies, but it's also about Winston Smith and his alienation from the society in which he lives. Aldous Huxley's Brave New World provides a dystopian vision of the world - through the eyes of a man alienated from the society in which he lives. Sylvia Plath's The Bell Jar has a female protagonist whose mental illness is partly because of her alienation from a society which has fixed expectations of women. Then there's Joseph Heller's Catch-22 where central character Yossarian is rather alienated. And Franz Kafka's The Trial where… You get the picture. These books have formed a kind of canon of disaffected literature for disaffected teenagers. At the age of 17 and 18, readers are often searching for something with a bit of existential angst. And nothing taps into teenage angst quite like the idea of exceptionalism. The books in \"the canon\" can provide a feeling of uniqueness - a clandestine understanding of the world that nobody else quite gets. \"'I can see through this, and Kafka can, but you can't',\" says Guardian literary critic Nicholas Lezard of the feeling. \"'Me and Kafka, we're buddies.'\" A book like Catch-22 provides a prism for teenage readers, says Prof John Sutherland, an English literature professor at University College London. \"It had sort of this ironic view of the adult world, where you're always trapped. [These books are] intellectual breakthrough stuff, a way of breaking out, a rite of passage.\" As well as looking for echoes of their disaffection, teenagers are also often attempting to look, well, a bit cool. The books are like a badge of honour. An actual badge, in Lezard's case. \"I found a badge for sale that just had the word 'Outsider' on it,\" he says. \"I wore that on my school blazer for a bit.\" The book itself might be placed conspicuously on show, with the titles poking out of school blazer pockets and tops of satchels. \"[They're] what you might call 'accessory books',\" says Sutherland. \"The book was, as it were, to make a statement. It was particularly pronounced in 1960s, 70s and 80s adolescence. People used to sit around in coffee shops holding a copy of whatever the latest Samuel Beckett was and probably couldn't answer how many Ts there are in Beckett.\" Any teenager seen reading the book on public transport is sending out a message. \"You know that if you sit on the Tube reading that [type of book], people will know you're an angst-ridden teenager,\" says historian Lisa Jardine, who has researched the reading preferences of men and women. Some may even detect a note of pretentiousness although most teenagers stop short of sporting a beret and pipe and disdainfully peering over a French-language copy of L'Etranger [The Outsider]. But calling the majority of teenagers pretentious is too harsh, says Jardine. \"I don't like that word. I would call it 'statement reading',\" she says. \"They're exploring them, and they're struggling with them, and therefore it's more about statement than showing off. You swap [the fact] that you've read these books and then you know you've got a kindred spirit.\" Even if there is some posturing, it's not unhealthy, says Lezard, as it's partly about raising your game into adulthood - and some of the ideas do filter in. \"So I don't regret any of this,\" he says. \"Perhaps the badge.\" But the canon of teenage angst books is not the same for both sexes. \"There's an absolutely dramatic difference between what girls and boys read at puberty,\" says Jardine. \"Boys read angst books, so they read Catcher in the Rye, L'Etranger and books like that. Girls read expanding emotion and sensibility books. Jane Eyre, [Dodie Smith's] I Capture the Castle, the Brontes… books about difficult relationships. \"It was absolutely staggering how little teenage angst books came up on the women's list.\" Men also tend to cling on to their teenage favourites later into life more than women, Jardine's research showed. But does the canon stay the same? And is there always a group of angsty teenagers to read it? \"Nineteen Eighty-Four makes you re-evaluate society,\" says 17-year-old Enosh Ghimire, from Ealing, west London. \"It's a common theme in many of the books - criticising society or evaluating what society is.\" The canon itself isn't stable. New books may be added, others fall by the wayside. A good movie adaptation can be an obstacle. Trainspotting, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest - those reaching adolescence after these films came out had to be extra committed to read the books after watching them - or disciplined enough to read them first. Ghimire says he and many of his friends enjoy reading Game of Thrones and that many are reading the Hunger Games, both of which have popular TV or movie franchises to accompany them. Laura Hampson, 18, from Liverpool, says her friends don't read that much but \"they've read The Perks of Being a Wallfower recently because of the film\". Hampson is a fan of contemporary John Green titles Looking for Alaska and An Abundance of Katherines. But she says her favourite book is David Nicholls's popular book One Day, pointing to its unusual time structure and relatable characters. \"It didn't make out either character was without fault,\" she adds. \"With some romance books the other character can sometimes be described as this perfect person, which most people can't relate to.\" Another obstacle to the cultish or cool feel of books in the canon is the way many of them have been absorbed into English literature syllabuses on both sides of the Atlantic over the past 30 years. Ghimire studies both Brave New World and Nineteen Eighty-Four as part of his course, admitting that they're not books he'd normally read. \"School opens [them] up,\" he says. \"I wouldn't have known about Brave New World if it wasn't for school. School made me aware that there are other books outside of what I would normally read.\" But news and current affairs makes some of the books resonate further, he says, citing the Edward Snowden spying affair as making Nineteen Eighty-Four really click. \"And Brave New World is going to be relevant for a long time because of technological advances,\" Ghimire says. And it's only with a sense of irony, or perhaps disappointment, that teenagers realise their mum's favourite book was also Nineteen Eighty-Four and their dad's was Catch-22. \"The feeling of being awkward and unhappy at school is in fact perennial,\" says Sutherland.

            "input": "Regulators are investigating the company's accounts after it revealed that profits have been overstated, and executives have been asked to step aside while that probe is underway. Meanwhile shopping habits are changing. Tesco's big superstores are no longer the big draw for customers, who are experimenting with online shopping, discounters like Aldi and Lidl and convenience stores. So what can the company do to revive its fortunes? We asked five experts for their views. Revamp out-of-town superstores Of the big four, Tesco is the most exposed to the shift away from big out of town superstores. The fact is Tesco's store portfolio is no longer fit for purpose. Today, shoppers want to buy little and often. But the bulk of Tesco's profits come from the superstore format, so the firm is stuck between a rock and a hard place. Under Philip Clarke they were experimenting with the big stores. They tried restaurants and coffee shops. One trend we are seeing is brands joining forces to make stores within stores. For example, there was Sainsbury's recent deal with Jessops. Sainsbury's have also opened a Netto alongside one of its stores. Tesco could consider moves like those. Also things that are bought online, like books, music and electronics, don't need to be on the shelves. Tesco could use that space to expand clothing, baby care, health and beauty. They could expand the Florence and Fred brand which has been really successful. However, store remodels can be expensive and often do not result in sustained sales uplifts. Natalie Berg, Planet Retail Learn from history One of the greatest ever turnarounds was Asda in the early 1990's under Archie Norman. One of Archie's key messages was to make clear at the start how difficult the turnaround was going to be, so that he looked a hero when it was achieved. But Archie also always said that a big company with a lot of top-line sales would have enough levers to pull to make a difference to the bottom line. Changing the culture of the Asda business and unleashing the talent in the store managers was an important part of the turnaround. Fast forward 10 years or so and it was Sainsbury that was in trouble, but the ebullient former Asda executive, Justin King, came in as chief executive in 2004 and soon launched his recovery programme for the business with the slogan \"Making Sainsbury's Great Again\". Sainsbury's stronghold in the affluent South-East was a key asset, however, together with a reputation for quality fresh-food and own-label ranges. And Sainsbury avoided the temptation to follow Tesco down the road of opening huge out-of-town hypermarkets and developing too big a non-food presence. Nick Bubb, retail analyst National pricing has to go National pricing: it has to go as soon as possible. Rents in the most expensive areas are six times the level of the cheapest areas, wages 20% higher and despite that Tesco offers the same product at the same price despite the material difference in costs. The discounters love it: it means Tesco can't go as low in price as its local costs would permit in their back yard. Tesco has lost its value credentials. When I joined the company a long time ago, being much more than 1% adrift from Asda on price was unheard of. Tesco are now 6% adrift on price across the entire range. This leads me to suggest segmentation. It would mean carving out part of the store estate and turning the company into a low-cost, low-price food retailer; not mimicking the discounters but offering a great value alternative. Bruno Monteyne, senior analyst, Bernstein Research and former Tesco director Rethink special offers Tesco has a bewildering array of deals and bulk offers, like buy one get one free, which no longer appeal. For a lot of shoppers it is buy one and throw one away. So you end up spending more because you throw things out. And people are more conscious of waste now. If you go to Aldi or Lidl, they have lower price single items. They have also have been very clever at appealing to shoppers that may have been embarrassed to shop at Aldi, by stocking unusual items like Japanese beef. It's now a badge of honour and even fashionable to shop there. Julie Palmer, retail industry expert, Begbies Traynor Restore the trust of shareholders The company's overstatement of profit is obviously clouding the company at the moment. The fact that the company has had to suspend eight executives, that's really going to weigh on shareholder's minds. They need to take very strong action to try and ensure that they don't fall out of favour with the people who are investing them. They need to get the management expertise that satisfies the shareholders that they are doing something. Also, shareholders are much more bearish in the current investment climate. Some shareholders want Tesco to refocus exclusively on the UK market. I might disagree with them on that. Tesco has an unbelievable opportunity in India at the moment. Tesco is the only supermarket retailer in India that can be part of a majority-owned foreign multi-brand operation. Jon Copestake, chief retail analyst at the Economist Intelligence Unit",

Disney+ launched in the US and Canada in November, where it became the most downloaded app. The new launch date may be an attempt to tackle piracy of shows like The Mandalorian, suggested one expert. The other European countries that will receive Disney+ at the same time as the UK are Ireland, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Austria and Switzerland. The Netherlands already has access as it was used as a testing ground for the platform. In the US, Disney+ costs $6.99 (£5.36) per month. \"The UK price was predictable given the aggressive US charge and the trend of a race to the bottom in terms of price - none of these services are going to make money for years,\" Tom Harrington at Enders Analysis told the BBC. He added that executives may have been under pressure to bring forward their original plan because the firm wanted \"to get The Mandalorian out there before even more people pirate it\". DisneyLife re-brand Disney has confirmed that the new service will replace DisneyLife in the UK and Ireland. The earlier streaming platform had been offered since 2015, and also offered access to Disney's library of cartoons and films, but excluded content including the Star Wars films, Marvel movies and National Geographic documentaries provided by its successor. DisneyLife cost £1 less per month and also included access to ebooks and music, which are not bundled into the new package. However, one advantage of the new service is that some content will be screened in 4K resolution, which was not the case before. In the US, Disney+ also includes the back catalogue to The Simpsons cartoon series, which Disney acquired when it bought 21st Century Fox last year. However, it has not been confirmed if this will be offered to the UK or other European countries. By comparison, Netflix's \"basic\" plan also costs £5.99 per month, but does not offer HD or 4K. And Sky's Now TV service - which contains some Disney content - divides up films and TV shows into different packages and charges an extra £3 a month fee if users want to watch them in 1080p rather than 720p resolution. Netflix is expected to announce financial results later today, which may reveal how much of an impact rising competition from Disney+ has had on the streaming giant's fortunes.

However, wage growth has slowed to 2.3% (excluding bonuses) from 2.6% in the previous three-month period. Wages are rising above the rate of inflation, which is currently 1.8%, but the gap has narrowed. \"March's labour market release reported a solid performance on the jobs side, but included worrying signs of weakness with regards to wages,\" said Martin Beck, senior economic advisor to the EY Item Club - a respected economic forecasting group. \"We remain cautiously optimistic that this trend will reverse... but with a high proportion of annual pay settlements coming in the early part of the year, the next few months are crucial.\" Ahmed: May's income headache Following last week's Budget, Paul Johnson, director of the Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) warned that wages were unlikely to be higher in the next five years. He said: \"On current forecasts average earnings will be no higher in 2022 than they were in 2007. Fifteen years without a pay rise. This is completely unprecedented.\" The latest data showed that wages are growing at the slowest rate since April of last year. \"This weakness was broad based, with wage growth moderating in the financial and business services, distribution, construction and public sectors,\" said Samuel Tombs, chief UK economist at Pantheon Macroeconomics. Interest rates impact Wage growth is one of the most important pieces of data that the Bank of England takes into consideration when it makes decisions about interest rates. The Bank holds its next interest rate policy meeting on Thursday. Mr Tombs said he expects the Bank of England's Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) to keep interest rates on hold at 0.25%. \"All told, the combination of meagre wage growth despite very low unemployment supports the MPC's view that enough slack remains in the labour market to warrant keeping rates on hold during the imminent period of high inflation.\" Zero hours up The ONS said there are 1.58 million people out of work in the three months to January, 31,000 fewer than the previous three months. The unemployment rate was last at 4.7% in 2005 and has not been below that since the summer of 1975. The ONS also released data on the number of people on zero hour contracts in their main job, which rose by 101,000 between October and December to 905,000. This is equal to 2.8% of all people in employment. Number crunching The unemployment figures are based on the Labour Force Survey in which the ONS talks to about 40,000 households, or 100,000 individuals, every three months. As it is a survey, the results are estimates and have a margin of error. For example, the unemployment rate of 4.7% is the best estimate from the ONS, but it is 95% confident that the actual rate is between 4.5% and 4.9%. Similarly, the fall in unemployment was 31,000, but could be 80,000 above or below that number, so the drop is described as not being statistically significant.",

Four other people were killed in the strike, including two of Mehsud's bodyguards, intelligence sources say. Several previous claims of his death, made by US and Pakistani intelligence sources, have proven untrue. Pakistan's government has issued a statement strongly condemning the drone attack, saying such strikes were a \"violation of Pakistan's sovereignty and territorial integrity\". Friday's strike targeted Mehsud's vehicle in the Dande Darpakhel, some 5km (3miles) north of the region's main town, Miranshah. A senior US intelligence official told the Associated Press that the US received positive confirmation on Friday morning that he had been killed. However, a spokesperson for the US National Security Council said that \"we are not in a position to confirm those reports, but if true, this would be serious loss for the... Taliban\". BBC diplomatic correspondent James Robbins says that however weakened the Taliban may be by this loss, they will fight on under a new leader. Hakimullah Mehsud had come to prominence in 2007 as a commander under the militant group's founder Baitullah Mehsud, with the capture of 300 Pakistani soldiers adding to his prestige among the militants. In January 2010 he gained further notoriety when he appeared in a video alongside a Jordanian who is said to have blown himself up, killing seven CIA agents in Afghanistan to avenge Baitullah Mehsud's death. Hakimullah Mehsud had a $5m FBI bounty on his head and was thought to be responsible for the deaths of thousands of people. Mehsud became leader of the Pakistani Taliban in 2009, aged 30, after Baitullah Mehsud died in a US drone strike at his father-in-law's residence in South Waziristan. The strike against Baitullah Mehsud reportedly came after repeated complaints by Pakistani officials that the Americans were not hitting militant groups who attacked targets in Pakistan. His second-in-command, Waliur Rehman, died in a drone strike in May. The attack targeting him comes on the same day that the Pakistani government announced it was about to send a delegation to North Waziristan to try to get peace negotiations with the Taliban under way. Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif had pledged to talk with the Taliban to try to end its campaign of violence, which has left thousands dead in bombings and shootings across the country. In a rare interview with the BBC two weeks ago, Mehsud said he was open to \"serious talks\" with the government but said he had not yet been approached. Mehsud denied carrying out recent deadly attacks in public places, saying his targets were \"America and its friends\". He had loose control over more than 30 militant groups in Pakistan's tribal areas. The BBC's M Ilyas Khan in Islamabad says that Khan Said Sajna is one of those now tipped to become the new leader of the Pakistani Taliban.",

            "input": "How does it work? There have been attempts to allow richer countries to cut their emissions by paying for the development of carbon lowering schemes in poorer nations. However, the effectiveness of these schemes has been questioned, with research indicating that some have created more emissions than they have actually curtailed. Of greater significance have been the so called cap and trade schemes, at regional, national and international levels. They work by setting an overall limit or cap on the amount of emissions that are allowed from significant sources of carbon, including the power industry, automotive and air travel. Governments then issue permits up to the agreed limit, and these are either given free or auctioned to companies in the sector. If a company curbs its own carbon significantly it can trade the excess permits on the carbon market for cash. If it's not able to limit its emissions it may have to buy extra permits. Schemes are up and running in the European Union and in several regions of the United States, but attempts at a national scheme in the US foundered in the Senate in 2010. What are the advantages? Cap and trade schemes have been very effective in tackling environmental problems in the past, with trading in sulphur dioxide permits helping to limit acid rain in the US. The big attraction for governments concerned with stemming CO2 is that carbon trading is much easier to implement than expensive direct regulations, and unpopular carbon taxes. If regional cap and trade schemes can be joined up globally, with a strong carbon price, it could be a relatively pain-free and speedy method to help the world decarbonise. And the disadvantages? Creating a market in something with no intrinsic value such as carbon dioxide is very difficult. You need to promote scarcity - and you have to strictly limit the right to emit so that it can be traded. In the world's biggest carbon trading scheme, the EU ETS, political interference has created gluts of permits. These have often been given away for free, which has led to a collapse in the price and no effective reductions in emissions. Another problem is that offset permits, gained from paying for pollution reductions in poorer countries, are allowed to be traded as well. The importance of these permits in reducing carbon emissions is questionable and the effectiveness of the overall cap and trade scheme is also reduced. What are the alternatives? There are two basic options. Carbon taxes and direct regulations. Taxes on energy content or production are in place in many European countries. Taxes exist in India, Japan and South Korea and they have been imposed then repealed in Australia. Other governments have tried to regulate their way to lower emissions. This approach is being tried in the US, where President Obama has imposed a Clean Power Plan on energy producers, designed to reduce emissions from this sector by 32% by 2030.",

Yorkshire Agricultural Society (YAS), the show's organiser, said it expected a \"strict cap\" on visitor numbers. However, adding an extra day meant more visitors could attend safely, YAS said. Honorary show director Charles Mills said: \"We do expect there to be a limit on how many people can attend on any one day of the show. \"So, for the first time in our history, we believe the best option is to offer a four-day event.\" YAS expected most sections of the show - the 162nd in its history - to go ahead with \"an emphasis on holding as many activities outdoors as possible\", Mr Mills said. \"There will be some changes this year, but we want to deliver as much of a normal show as restrictions allow and it remains our position that the show will only go ahead if it is safe to do so. \"We understand there is an element of risk in planning for an event of such scale given the potential for restrictions to change, however we accept this and firmly believe it is well worth planning for the show to take place.\" Tickets for the Great Yorkshire Show are due to be released on 1 June, YAS added. In 2020, the event was cancelled in full for the first time since the foot-and-mouth outbreak in 2001. In 2019, the last show to be held, the event saw its highest number of visitors in more than a decade, with over 135,000 people attending the three-day agricultural event, organisers said.

            "input": "By Ian YoungsEntertainment reporter, BBC News Most people dread turning into their parents as they get older. Kay Mellor, on the other hand, is turning into her mother five nights a week. \"I'm embracing it,\" she says with a wry laugh. Thirty years ago, over the washing up, Mellor's mother Dinah told her daughter about an intense affair she had had with a man called Craze. That revelation inspired A Passionate Woman, which was first staged at the West Yorkshire Playhouse in Leeds before running in the West End for a year. \"It's extraordinary because at times it's very moving for me - more so than playing another role,\" she says of performing in the lead role in the latest production. \"This brings my mother quite close to me. That's lovely in some respects, but in other respects I really miss her,\" says Mellor of Dinah, who died three years ago. \"But I'm sure she'd be delighted if she was watching me from somewhere playing her, and highly amused. \"Both my daughters said: 'Mum it's really freaky, when you're on the stage you turn into nana.'\" Although Mellor wrote the original play, acting has given her a different insight into her mother's story. \"You wear a different head,\" she says. \"As a writer, you're looking at something analytically. You're looking at the show and the structure of it and all that. \"But being in it, you're involved on an emotional level right throughout it. You're engaging on every level with your thoughts and feelings. It's an emotional journey, and it can be at times quite profound, what happens to you. \"I get caught out sometimes. I can be completely reduced to tears in a minute and then think, get a grip girl, you've got to act this. \"At times it can be quite…\" There is a long pause. \"Unusual. It is unusual. I've played other roles. I've played big roles and you're always slightly outside yourself, watching yourself. But with this sometimes I can get lost within it.\" In the play, the central character is called Betty and she tells her on-stage son Mark about her affair. That conversation represents the moment that Dinah divulged her secret to Kay. \"When I'm playing it I can feel how awkward it must have been to tell me, and why she didn't tell me for many, many, many years,\" says Mellor. When Dinah died, Mellor decided to pay tribute and dusted off a screenplay version she had prepared. The result was a two-part BBC One drama, starring Billie Piper and Sue Johnston as her mother at different stages of her life. That aired last year. And it sparked interest from around 40 theatres who wanted to revive the stage version, says Mellor. In the end, she teamed up with Gareth Tudor-Price, then artistic director of the Hull Truck Theatre. The pair had worked together before - and besides, as an ex-boyfriend of Mellor's daughter Gaynor Faye, Tudor-Price had an unrivalled insight into the family he was putting on stage. \"I can't remember who suggested it, whether it was him or me, but it just evolved that I would be the right person to play my mother,\" says Mellor. \"I am the right age now to play my mother at the time that she told me about Craze, so I said yes.\" The play starts with Betty finding an old ballgown in her loft, leading decades-old emotions to come pouring out. Mellor first performed the role in Hull last year before moving to Ipswich last month. The play will open at the Oldham Coliseum on Wednesday. Twenty years after the original production became a hit, why does Mellor think the story has held its power over audiences? \"I think it's got universal appeal,\" she says. \"Because the themes are so big - marriage, love, death, mother and child relationships - they transcend age, time, culture.\" A Passionate Woman runs at the Oldham Coliseum from 18 May to 4 June.",

The five are among 19,000 people who receive money from the ILF, which the government plans to scrap in 2015. The scheme aids independent living and the average pay-out is £300 a week. The government has said that councils, which administer most social care, will take over funding this help. On Wednesday, a judge dismissed the application, saying the consultation process had been lawful. The claimants feared that disabled people could be forced out of independent living arrangements and into residential care, or trapped at home by the fund's closure. At a hearing in March, they had argued that there have not been clear reasons given for closing the fund; the consultation featured inadequate information on the differences between the fund and local authority assessment and provision; and there had not been proper assessment of the impact of the change on disabled people's ability to live and work independently. The Department for Work and Pensions has previously said that help for disabled people has been fundamentally changed by personal budgets, intended to give recipients more control, and that it makes sense to have a single system administered by local authorities. The ILF was established in 1988, but the government decided in 2010 that it had become \"no longer appropriate or sustainable\" to keep running the scheme outside the mainstream social care system. The fund closed to new applicants soon afterwards. One of the five applicants, Gabriel Pepper, from Walthamstow, east London, has accused the government of imposing \"appalling cuts\" which were \"a vicious attack on the disabled\". The claimants have said the money enables them to employ personal assistants to help them with their personal needs and to \"go out and have a full life\". Richard Hawkes, chief executive of the disability charity Scope, said: \"Expecting councils to pick up the tab when they are facing the biggest funding cuts in history is an impossible ask.\" \"Not getting the support to wash, dress and leave your home is unacceptable.\"",

            "input": "UK companies Fred Films and Powder Keg Pictures have bought the rights to the feature about the former British Army captain. Capt Sir Tom rose to prominence during lockdown when he raised £39m for the National Health Service by walking laps of his garden. He achieved the feat as he approached his 100th birthday, and has since been labelled a \"national treasure\". The as-yet-untitled film will focus on the veteran's relationship with his younger family, who he moved in with following the death of his wife, Pamela. The couple were married for 40 years. The picture will also draw on his military career and show how the horrors of war shaped his life and inspired him to keep walking, despite having endured a long battle with skin cancer and a broken hip. Which actor might play him? When asked who might play him in the movie, Capt Sir Tom joked: \"I don't know of any 100-year-old actors.\" And he has a good point, nor do we. But he did name two other knights of the realm, aged 87 and 82 respectively, who could give it a good go. \"I'm sure Michael Caine or Anthony Hopkins could do a wonderful job if they were prepared to age up!\" suggested Capt Sir Tom. Anyone who has seen Martin Scorsese's The Irishman will know that the age-up/down technology is available (at a price). What have the producers made before? The film will be made by James Spring, Nick Moorcroft and Meg Leonard - the producers of Fisherman's Friends, and Finding Your Feet. Both were successful films about older people (although admittedly not 100-year-olds), which perhaps explains why the same team are keen to tell Capt Sir Tom's story. Fisherman's Friends centred around a group of Cornish fishermen from Port Isaac, who were signed by Universal Records and achieved a top 10 hit with their debut album of traditional sea shanties. Finding Your Feet was about a woman (played by Imelda Staunton) who, after discovering that her husband was having an affair with her best friend, rediscovers her joie de vivre in London. What do the producers say about Sir Tom? Writer-producers Moorcroft and Leonard said in a joint statement: \"This is a story about the power of the human spirit and Captain Sir Tom personifies that. \"We are honoured to be telling this unique and inspiring story and are excited about audiences getting to know the man behind the headlines.\" \"We received so many offers but what it boiled down to was trust,\" Capt Sir Tom's daughter, Hannah Ingram-Moore added. \"The family are big fans of the films James, Meg and Nick have written and produced and we hope that our story connects with audiences in the same way their previous films have done.\" The team, whose upcoming film, Blithe Spirit - starring Dan Stevens, Leslie Mann, Isla Fisher and Judi Dench - will be released in December, are looking to shoot the Sir Tom project in 2021. Who is Captain Sir Tom Moore? After breaking two Guinness World Records (and capturing the hearts of the nation) with his fundraising garden laps in April, the army veteran quickly achieved a number one single with his rendition of You'll Never Walk Alone, alongside Michael Ball. \"My grandchildren can't believe I'm a chart-topper,\" he said at the time. He was then knighted by the Queen in a private ceremony at Windsor Castle in July. Capt Sir Tom, originally from Keighley, West Yorkshire, said it was \"an absolutely outstanding day\". Since then, he has enjoyed a big media presence, releasing an autobiography, entitled Tomorrow Will Be A Good Day, and also appearing on Piers Morgan's Life Stories. Explaining his positive outlook to the TV host, he said: \"I've always considered, if things were very hard, don't worry, you'll get through them.\" \"Don't give in, just keep on going and things will certainly get better,\" he added. \"That's the way to look at it.\" Follow us on Facebook, or on Twitter @BBCNewsEnts.

The dog was bitten and rushed to specialist vets in Cambridgeshire with severe facial swelling. Toby needed four days of care before recovering. Staff at the vets warned dog owners to be aware of adders, which can be fatal to dogs. The snakes vary in length from 40cm (16in) to 70cm (28in) and can be distinguished from other non-poisonous native species by the zig-zag pattern on their back, or V or X-shaped markings on their heads. They tend to wake up after hibernation in the spring. Toby's run-in with the adder happened earlier this month while he was being exercised on Cavenham Heath. Although his owner tried to stop Toby from playing with the adder he could not hear the warnings and was bitten on the face. Luckily his owner saw the snake bite, which requires immediate treatment to reduce the chances of the venom entering the lymphatic and circulatory system. \"The most important factor in a dog's response to an adder bite is rapid and appropriate treatment,\" a spokeswoman from Six Mile Bottom-based specialists Dick White Referrals, said. \"Signs of an adder bite usually appear within two hours and can include local swelling, pain, bleeding and lameness.\" Pets should also be carried as walking would encourage the venom into the circulatory system. While anti-venom might be needed, Toby was fortunate and could be treated with anti-inflammatory drugs. After four days of care his facial swelling reduced and he returned home where he is expected to return to full health. The veterinary specialists said there are about 100 adder bites to dogs reported each year in the UK.",

But addressing the Public Accounts Committee, the former board chair said that the joint report by the Wales Audit Office and Health Inspectorate Wales was \"extremely serious and sobering\" and he insisted lessons would be learnt. He said that while there had been \"difficulties\" in recent months in the relationship between himself and chief executive Mary Burrows, there had been \"absolutely no personality clash\" between any member of the board. Prof Jones said he accepted that there had been problems with management structures at the board, but argued that was down to the size and geography of the area it covered. \"There has been a problem in creating one organisation out of eight, serving a wide geographic area of about 700,000 individuals with three different hospitals with their own cultures,\" he said. \"There were systems issues. \"Even though Bangor was the designated HQ there was no central hub where executives could meet - so you had a dispersed executive - and it's not sustainable.\" But the former chair rejected the suggestion that the health board was too large to function effectively - though he did suggest it should be renamed as the North Wales University Health Board. Further failings The chief executive, Mrs Burrows, is also standing down from her post, but was not presenting evidence in person to the hearing on Thursday. The investigation into the health board, published in June, highlighted other issues of concern, including: Later on Thursday, the chief executive of the NHS in Wales defended the Welsh government's response to management failings at the health board. But giving evidence to the Public Accounts Committee, David Sissling said that lessons would be learnt and events in north Wales did provide \"some food for reflection\". Mr Sissling told AMs that the Welsh government had become aware of mounting problems at the health board in the middle of last year - namely an increase in pressures in \"unscheduled care\" and growing financial problems. He insisted the Welsh government had acted swiftly to identify take action on the information. He also told the committee he had demanded that all health boards in Wales report to him by the end of August outlining how they intend to learn from the failings identified in north Wales. Health Minster Mark Drakeford told AMs on Tuesday that the report made \"sobering reading\" but meant that Wales' NHS inspection and supervision procedures were able to pick up the problems. He said an advert for a replacement for Prof Jones has already been placed while another for the vice chairman - Dr Lyndon Miles who also stood down a few days after Prof Jones and Mary Burrows - will be placed \"very shortly\". He said the health board had brought in an expert in infection prevention to advise on its procedures on preventing infections, in particular c.dificile, as well as specialist nurse.

Aliyu Tanko, from the BBC Hausa service, says that more than 40 years after the end of the war, the subject remains extremely sensitive in Nigeria. Some fear the film, which is seen as sympathetic to the Biafran separatist cause, could stoke up ethnic tensions, he says. The book was released in Nigeria but with the country's high rates of illiteracy, a film is likely to get more attention. Mr Bandele told the BBC's Focus on Africa programme that he wasn't sure why the censorship board had delayed certification. The Nigeria film board saw the film seven months ago, Mr Bandele said. \"What's frustrating is we have not received a formal letter from the board telling us we've been banned, or that we've not been banned,\" he added. He denied the film was biased and stressed that he did not see how it could incite violence. The director also said the film raised issues which Nigeria badly needed to discuss. \"One of the reasons Nigeria is more divided today - 40 years after the end of the war - than it was before the war started, is because we have refused to talk about the elephant in the room.\" The film features Twelve Years a Slave actor Chiwetel Ejiofor and Crash star Thandie Newton.",

The Colne, in Brightlingsea, is part of the Thrive Partnership, whose executive heads Nardeep Sharma and Catherine Hutley are currently suspended. The partnership said it always aimed to engage with parents over issues raised. Documents obtained by the BBC under the Freedom of Information Act show Daniel Fox, the associate head of school, briefed the governing body in February about the situation involving the school and parents. According to the minutes of that meeting he told governors \"there had been a vicious campaign online from parents regarding their perceptions\". The minutes said: \"Many of the difficult parents had now been invited in for a meeting. The police had been involved regarding some unpleasant allegations made.\" The exact nature of the allegations made have not been confirmed. At the same meeting, it emerged the school had seen an increase in student exclusions, a \"rise in extreme behaviour\", a \"perception that the school had a bullying problem\" and that while students were \"aware of how to report bullying, many did not engage because they felt that no action was taken\". During a previous meeting in October, the school's governing body was told there \"was a belief in Brightlingsea that bullying was rife at the Colne\" but that \"much of this was unkind behaviour rather than bullying\". Essex MPs Will Quince and Bernard Jenkin had written to Education Secretary Damian Hinds, claiming \"parents are losing faith in the leadership of the schools\". A school spokesman said: \"We constantly strive to engage with our parents over issues they raise. \"Unfortunately, there are some occasions when issues raised are not always resolved to parental satisfaction. \"Due to the nature of the comments that were appearing online, the school sought advice from the police.\" The BBC has approached Essex Police for further details.",

The panel had been asked to conduct the inquiry by the college, which said it accepted the conclusions. Campaigners described the findings as a \"devastating indictment\". The report by the panel of independent scientists identified shortcomings in several areas. It identified a lack of \"adequate operational, leadership, management, training, supervisory and ethical review systems\" at Imperial, where more than 1,000 people are involved in animal research on four separate sites. The work carried out by the college's Animal Welfare and Ethical Review Body (Awerb), which has overall responsibility for ensuring the adequate welfare of animals used in experiments, was described as \"not fit for purpose\". 'Wholesale reform' In April, the British Union for the Abolition of Vivisection (BUAV) released details of an undercover investigation which it said exposed cases of animals suffering at the college's labs. The experts stressed that their remit was not to investigate the specific claims in the BUAV investigation, but the general systems employed at Imperial. A key area of criticism was an \"us and them\" culture dividing animal care staff and scientists, who failed to communicate and work together efficiently. The report praised the commitment of Central Biomedical Services staff at Imperial, who look after the day-to-day care of animals, and the quality of animal housekeeping. But the college failed when it came to ensuring the highest standards in the \"3Rs\" - the replacement, reduction and refinement of animal testing, it said. The panel made 33 separate recommendations for improvement, including \"wholesale reform\" of the ethics and welfare process, calling for the appointment of a new senior staff member to oversee local and central monitoring of the treatment of lab animals. Review call Prof Steve Brown, from the Medical Research Council's Mammalian Genetics Unit, who chaired the expert committee, said: \"Our investigation identified a number of serious concerns on the conduct, management and oversight of animal research at Imperial College. The college now has the opportunity to take our findings and recommendations forward. \"Imperial College is internationally recognised as one of the world's best research institutes and it is important that this is matched by its standards of animal use and welfare.\" The BUAV said the report's conclusions were a \"devastating indictment\" against the college and the system that allowed it to happen. Head of policy Nick Palmer said: \"We call on the Home Office to launch an immediate review of all the systems at all the other licensed sites to see where else suffering is being afflicted because if this happens at one of the world's leading universities what is happening elsewhere. \"It should not take an undercover investigation to expose what is happening in UK laboratories. The system overseeing animal experiments is broken and needs a drastic review.\" Imperial College said it accepted the findings of the report and would \"move quickly\" to implement the recommendations. It said staffing and leadership were both being prioritised, and an annual report on animal research would be published. Sian Harding, professor of Cardiac Pharmacology said: \"We wanted to raise our standards above just answering allegations and to meet the highest international standards. We are a world-class institution and we should have world-class standards - and be leading in them.\"",

Now in her 60s, she said she wanted to see her records because two of her children had died at a young age. She said the information was \"extremely important\" as she had other children and grandchildren. She told the inquiry sitting in Banbridge on Wednesday that she was born to a Catholic mother in Dungannon and said she found out in recent years that her father was \"a Protestant landowner\". Explaining that one of her daughters had died as a baby, and a son died suddenly aged 26, in 2005, she said: \"I need to know my health history because of the fact I have lost two children and there is nothing physically or medically that we can find out here in Australia.\" She said her other children and grandchildren needed to be aware of the medical history of her maternal and paternal families in Northern Ireland. The inquiry also heard on Wednesday about the state's knowledge of the migrant scheme. Senior counsel to the inquiry, Christine Smith, presented details of a letter from the Department of Home Affairs in 1955. It was written after an inspector from the department visited Nazareth House in Belfast. The inspector was told that another Catholic Children's Home, Rubane House in Kircubbin, could not cope with the numbers being sent there from Belfast. The alternative being considered, the letter suggested, was to send children to Australia. The inspector wrote: \"Rubane can't absorb all their output and this is how they're to be disposed of.\" The HIA inquiry is examining the extent of child abuse in religious and state-run institutions in Northern Ireland from 1922 to 1995. Last week, the inquiry heard that 131 children from Northern Ireland, some as young as five, were sent to Australia as child migrants.

            "input": "By Natalie ShermanBusiness reporter, New York Hurricane Harvey has produced high winds and extensive flooding forcing thousands of people from their homes. The closures are expected to cause a temporary spike in US gas prices. Analysts expect the economic impact of the storm to pass $40bn (£31bn), with direct losses of over $20bn. The storm's path through southeast Texas and the Gulf of Mexico has hit the heart of the US energy industry, an area home to almost half of US refining capacity and a fifth of its oil production. Houston, where water has overwhelmed the streets, is also the base of one of America's largest ports. US gas prices rose around 10% ahead of the storm, said Joseph Brusuelas, chief economist at RSM US. He expects prices to jump by another 20-30% over the next two weeks in the Texas region, with less significant increases elsewhere, he said. Food prices could also be affected, as shipments of wheat and soybeans are delayed, he added. Globally the impact is likely to be smaller, since the US is not a major source of energy exports and supplies remain historically high. Assuming the current weather forecast holds, Mr Brusuelas said he expects US prices to subside, as operations restart over the next two weeks. Over the longer term, the havoc wreaked by the storm on businesses and households is likely to reduce energy demand in the US, analysts from Goldman Sachs predicted. Houston is the fourth largest city in the US, and produces more than $500bn in economic activity annually. US economic growth could slow by about a tenth of a percentage point in the quarter as a result of the storm, said Mr Brusuelas. The economy should rebound in the following six months, as spending increases on reconstruction and other efforts. So far, oil and gas companies are focused on the immediate emergency and the safety of their personnel, without reports of major damages, said Bruce Jefferis, chief executive of Aon Energy, who is based in Houston. About 18% of oil and natural gas production in the Gulf has stopped, according to the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement. About 11% of all US refining capacity has also shut down, with others operating at reduced rates according to the most recent update from the US Department of Energy. Goldman Sachs put the figure higher at almost 17%. 'Unprecedented' While big oil and gas companies are well-prepared for such abnormal weather, Mr Jefferis said the effect on families - many of whom are likely to be uninsured - and smaller businesses is likely to be far more significant. \"Truly this is an unprecedented storm for the Texas area,\" he said. Hurricane Ike is estimated to have caused more than $12bn in insured damage when it hit Texas in 2008, with overall damages as high as $29bn. Mark Hanna, spokesman for the Insurance Council of Texas, said it's clear that damages caused by Harvey are more significant, but he cautioned that numbers for damages that are surfacing now - as rain continues to fall - are premature. \"Nobody can put a figure like that on a storm at this moment,\" said Mr Hanna, whose organisation represents about 400 insurance companies. \"We know the losses are going to be extensive. When you have a city the size of Houston ... under water, that alone tells you you have a massive problem.\"",

Envoys from the P5+1 group of nations will begin a new round of negotiations with Iran in Geneva on Wednesday. Iran's foreign minister said he believed issues could be resolved. In a message on the video-sharing site YouTube, Javid Zarif said: \"We expect and demand respect for our dignity. For us Iranians, nuclear energy is not about joining a club or threatening others. Nuclear energy is about a leap, a jump toward deciding our own destiny rather than allowing others to decide for us.\" President Obama held two hours of talks with senators at the White House on Tuesday, along with Secretary of State John Kerry and National Security Adviser Susan Rice. In recent days some US legislators have expressed concern that the White House is moving too fast and should take a harder line with Tehran. \"We have the opportunity to halt the progress of the Iranian programme and roll it back in key respects, while testing whether a comprehensive resolution can be achieved,\" the White House said in a statement. It said that if there was not an initial agreement, Iran would grow its stockpiles of enriched uranium, install new centrifuges and develop a plutonium reactor in the city of Arak. Press secretary Jay Carney said Mr Obama had told the senators new sanctions would be most effective as a consequence if Iran refused to accept the deal now on the table or agreed and then failed to comply. The president also rejected reports that Iran would receive at least $40bn (£25bn) in sanctions relief. Since 2006 the UN Security Council has imposed a series of sanctions on entities and people involved in Iran's nuclear programme. Separate US and EU sanctions have targeted Iran's energy and banking sectors, crippling its oil-based economy. Speaking later at an event sponsored by The Wall Street Journal, Mr Obama said he didn't know if an agreement would come this week or next, but he said the bulk of the sanctions regime would remain. \"We are not doing anything around the most powerful sanctions. The oil sanctions, the banking sanctions, the financial services sanctions, those are the ones that have really taken a big chunk out of the Iranian economy,\" he said. Weapon fears \"All of those sanctions and the architecture for them don't go anywhere.\" Three days of high-level talks earlier this month failed to achieve a breakthrough. Iran says its nuclear programme is for peaceful means, but the US and its allies suspect Tehran is trying to develop a nuclear weapon. In another sign of warmer relations between Iran and the West, the UK's David Cameron on Tuesday became the first British prime minister in more than a decade to hold a telephone call with an Iranian president. A Downing Street spokesman said Mr Cameron and President Hassan Rouhani discussed Iran's nuclear programme and the situation in Syria. The two men \"agreed to continue efforts to improve the relationship\" between the UK and Iran, the spokesman added. The so-called P5+1 are the five permanent members of the UN Security Council- the US, UK, France, Russia and China - plus Germany.",

            "input": "Katya AdlerEurope editor@BBCkatyaadleron Twitter They have all been clear up till now that they want the UK to stay in the EU. Why then immediately highlight problems? The presidents of the European Parliament and the European Commission chose to respond to Mr Cameron's letter and speech today with words of warning - describing his EU reform ideas as \"problematic\" and highlighting possible legal issues. Why? I would argue this is because the European Union realises the British prime minister needs a fight and a bloody nose to drown out criticisms back home that this EU reform process is a sham; that Mr Cameron's demands are wishy-washy and worthless. They realise he needs a sense of drama. Of a bitter battle fought and won. And they are preparing to give it to him. But there are also some very real difficulties with the changes to the EU that David Cameron demands from a European perspective. And they will emerge in the \"hows\" rather than the list of \"whats\". Exactly how the Prime Minister's demands can be implemented will be the focus of negotiations that will now get underway in earnest with his 27 EU partners. For example, the first objective \"to protect the single market for Britain and for others outside the eurozone\" has a lot of backing in other European capitals but will the UK insist on a veto on eurozone legislation? That will be a lot more difficult to achieve than a vote. Excluding Britain from the idea of ever-closer union has caused a fair amount of eye-rolling but few objections in EU circles. The same goes for giving national parliaments more of a say in forming EU legislation. That option already exists, (though is little-used) and could easily be tweaked. But curbing EU migration is problematic. Though here, again, a number of the British ideas are welcomed by the majority of other European countries - such as restricting the freedom to work across the EU of citizens from new member states (until their economies have caught up with the EU average). There is also broad agreement on cracking down on welfare tourism and limiting child benefits and out-of work benefits for migrants. The real problem is centred around in-work benefits. David Cameron insists that the UK be allowed to limit them for non-British EU workers for four years. Central and Eastern European countries with a fluid workforce, such as Poland, are loud opponents of the proposal (though privately they say they would be happy if their best and brightest would think twice before abandoning their homeland). But it is powerhouse Germany that will be the hardest obstacle to overcome here. Discriminating against EU workers goes against one of the bloc's founding principles - the freedom to live and work anywhere in the European Union. Britain's four key objectives for renegotiation: Read more on this story What Britain wants from Europe EU vote: When, what and why? Guide to the 'leave' campaigns Guide to the 'In' campaign 'Brexit?' Everything now at stake for Cameron Once again, though, every German diplomat or politician I have spoken to about this says Germany will do its utmost to accommodate the UK in all its reform demands. Big EU players, such as France and Germany regard this EU renegotiation process as a bit of an annoyance they want to get over with quickly. Many privately say they think this is more of an internal Conservative Party issue for Mr Cameron, but the feeling is they will play ball with the aim of moving on as soon as possible as an EU of 28 countries to deal with what they view as the really important matters facing them: not Brexit, but rather migration. Credibility and cohesion There are three main reasons why the EU wants the UK to stay. Firstly there is a rather painful awareness that, without Britain, the bloc would be economically, politically, militarily and diplomatically weaker. Then there is the fear of contagion. Brussels frets when Mr Cameron says the EU must show it is flexible enough to suit the needs of all its member states. There is a worry that the UK might inspire other countries' governments, opposition parties or popular movements to insist they get their own EU deal to better suit their individual needs. And finally there is a concern that Brexit could be the straw that breaks the camel's back of the EU as a whole. The bloc's credibility and cohesion have been hugely damaged by the current migrant emergency and the still far from resolved euro crisis. Diplomats across the EU whisper that Brexit could lead to the unravelling of the EU as a whole, encouraging other countries to quit (such as Hungary over migration) when conditions no longer suit.",

He said anyone arriving from the UK would be visited by sheriff's deputies to ensure they abide by the rules. Those who breach them will be fined $1,000 (£737) a day, Mr de Blasio warned. About 18.4m coronavirus cases and more than 326,000 deaths have been recorded across the US, according to Johns Hopkins University. New York City was at the epicentre of America's coronavirus outbreak earlier this year, and has again become one of the country's worst-affected states. In a statement, Mayor de Blasio said all inbound international travellers must provide their contact details. \"We are really serious about the fact that if you violate quarantine you're creating a danger for everyone else,\" said Mr de Blasio. \"We are in the final battle here, all we have to do is get through these holidays,\" he added. Dozens of countries - including nearly all 27 EU states - have already imposed restrictions on travel from the UK, as governments clamp down on the spread of coronavirus over the Christmas period. What are the new Covid-19 variants? This week UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson revealed that a new strain of coronavirus was behind a surge in cases in the country. Then on Wednesday, Health Secretary Matt Hancock said yet another variant - originating in South Africa - had been detected in the country. The two variants are still being analysed, but the government said it was confident that both are more easily transmittable than other strains. But the UK government said its new, tougher lockdown measures would help to contain the spread. What's the latest in the US? America continues to report the world's highest total cases and Covid-related deaths, according to a tally by Johns Hopkins University. In all, about 5% of the US population are known to have been infected since the pandemic began. Daily cases have been at record levels since early November, and many states are overwhelmed with hospitalisation numbers. US regulators have recently approved two vaccines - one by Moderna, and another by Pfizer and BioNTech - and over 9.4 million doses have been shipped nationwide, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The government has also signed a deal with Pfizer to buy an additional 100 million doses of the its vaccine. But last week, a US general in charge of distributing the jabs apologised after many states learned they would be receiving fewer vaccines than expected. As of Wednesday, over one million Americans had had their first jab, the CDC said. Earlier this year, the government pledged to inoculate 20 million people by the end of 2020.",

The Bradshaw Advisory independent report also found the shops in the building support 107 jobs. One of the report's authors said the Grade I-listed site's positive impact on the area was \"outstanding\". A third of the visitors to ticketed events at the hall were from outside Calderdale, it found. At least £7m is generated annually by direct employment, events and retail activity at the site, the report found. The study also estimates that a total of £26m has been added to the local economy indirectly since the cloth hall reopened in 2017. Also, every £1 spent on operating Halifax's historic Piece Hall has generated at least £5.30 for the local economy. The report has been compiled for The Piece Hall Trust using the same methods that the Treasury uses to appraise projects. More stories from Yorkshire Chris Walker, former Treasury economist and one of the report's authors, said: \"The economic boost and positive impact the Piece Hall Trust has had on the local area is outstanding. \"The Treasury normally looks to get back £2 for every £1 spent.

However, the Piece Hall is costing far more to run than Calderdale Council initially forecasted in 2012, according to the report.

Events forced to cancel or reschedule include Hospitality Returns to the Docks in London on Good Friday, which instead broadcast 12 hours of music by DJs in their kitchens and home studios on YouTube and Facebook Live. DJ Dilemma, real name Piper Hewitt-Dudding, who is from Brighton, performed her set in front of her mum in her back garden cabin, which she described as a \"little strange\". However, thousands logged on to the Hospitality live streams, which have since been viewed and shared hundreds of thousands of times. She said: \"In the club you get a loud, immediate reaction from the crowd when you drop a great tune. But being able to see so many positive comments from individual people come flooding in all at once was just as exhilarating as hearing it collectively from a crowd.\" The Defected record label has been teaming up with London's Ministry of Sound to broadcast three virtual festivals to raise money for the Covid-19 Solidarity Response Fund - and there are more events in the pipeline. Defected owner Simon Dunmore said: \"Music and clubbing are an escape for many and, with social gatherings being rightfully restricted, we wanted to connect people online in the hope that they appreciate they are not alone.\" Manchester's Hacienda also has a second House Party planned on 9 May. The first all-day rave on 11 April, featuring the likes of Roger Sanchez and David Morales, was held for charity and to support Manchester's night-time economy. Nightclub chain operator Deltic has been streaming sets from its Atik and Pryzm clubs on Facebook where clubbers can interact with people from their nearest venue or create listening parties with friends. The streams are being beamed three times a week across Pryzm's Facebook pages for Birmingham, Brighton, Portsmouth, Bristol, Cardiff, Kingston Upon Thames, Leeds, Nottingham, Plymouth and Watford, along with Atik's nightclubs in Aberdeen, Dartford, Edinburgh, Gloucester, Hull, Uxbridge, Wrexham, Tamworth, Romford, Colchester, Halifax, Oxford and Windsor. For one of the DJs, Ryan Arnold, live streaming has been a new experience - especially after spending summer 2019 supporting acts such as Little Mix and Jess Glynn. But he says it's helping him to reach new audiences while in lockdown in Dartford, Kent, and might mean more people get to hear his newly-released single - Imagine. He said: \"I like the idea of dropping a track and Sandy or whoever could be in her kitchen in her pyjamas dancing without worrying about who can see her. \"But it's very strange [playing to a camera]. I find myself hyping myself up in front of the crowd but then you say, 'hands up and... oh, it's just me'. \"Something else I've realised is I sing to the songs that I'm DJing but normally the music is so loud I don't notice. Luckily, no one else can hear it though.\" Nathan Dawe, whose track Flowers is climbing the UK singles charts, would normally expect to be playing major festivals as well as venues in Ibiza and Zante but is instead beaming sets from his lockdown location in Burton-upon-Trent, Staffordshire. He said: \"I've never done a live stream before. I was more nervous about that first stream than I am with 10,000 people in front of me.\" He describes the success of his single as \"bitter sweet\", adding: \"I'm just gagging to get back on the stage and hear people singing it back. \"My whole life I've dreamed about having a record that's played on the top 40. The tune was doing well before lockdown came but then it started to spike. \"A lot of people having to stay indoors are playing it on their music apps but, being a performer, I'm itching to get on stage and hear the roar when you play it.\"",

            "input": "By Finlo RohrerBBC News, Washington So far the blowout preventer has broken down, the containment dome has iced up, the insertion tube didn't get enough oil and top kill hasn't come off. Everything so far has failed, but the problem isn't just being considered among the elite group of engineers and experts gathered by BP. The public are also doing their part. By 2 June, BP had received 31,600 suggestions from members of the public on how to plug the well, or deal with the oil slicks already in the sea. The company's helpline, which has 80 telephone operators, deals with interested citizens. Of the 31,600 ideas, 8,000 have been submitted on paper. BP then puts the plans through a four-stage process. The first is a primary evaluation to weed out ideas that have already been considered or are just not possible. The second stage is classification into categories such as \"dispersants\" or \"mechanical\". The third stage is a more detailed technical review and the fourth stage is field testing. Interested amateurs There are 235 ideas currently in stage three and four, says BP. Of those, just 10% are about how to plug the well. Some might ridicule the idea that interested amateurs might be able to solve a problem that is foxing a giant company with immense resources at its fingertips. But the notion has a long pedigree. One of the most famous examples of attempting to tap the public brain came in the Longitude Prize, established in the UK by Parliament in 1714. For a seafaring nation, the ability to accurately measure longitude was a massive challenge. The act of Parliament offered £20,000 to the person who could do it, and the clockmaker John Harrison established the principles for the marine chronometers that revolutionised navigation. Another prize was offered in late 18th Century France for the creation of soda crystals from sea salt. Harrison was met with scepticism and never received the full prize, while the French winner Nicholas Leblanc was denied his cash because of the revolution. Insoluble problems The term \"crowdsourcing\", coined by journalist Jeff Howe, author of Crowdsourcing: Why the Power of the Crowd Is Driving the Future of Business, is now often used to describe this phenomenon. Howe says that it is sometimes the case that problems that have proved insoluble to hand-picked experts can be solved when placed before a wider, but less expert, audience. \"[Crowdsourcing] is an acknowledgment that 99 times out of a 100 the best person to solve a problem is an expert. If it's a chemistry problem, you want a chemist. \"But one time out of a hundred the problem seems intractable. Crowdsourcing has revealed - in those intractable cases - you need someone who is not trained. All the steps the experts have thought to do haven't worked. You need the unexpected.\" That might be why BP is using some of its resources to test these suggestions from the public. They won't reveal any of the detail of the submissions they have had, but look at some public forums on the web - not run by BP - and you can get a flavour of the sort of ideas that might be arriving. Giant screws Barry Redd, from Louisburg, North Carolina, submitted an idea to BP, also posting it on BP Oil News, an independent blog critical of the company. His idea - heavily paraphrased - involves the use of a pipe smaller in diameter than the casing of the oil well. This would have valve at one end and inflatable tubes in the other. With the valve open, the smaller pipe would be inserted, the tubes quickly inflated to form a seal, cemented in place and then the valve closed. Looking on the web you can see solutions involving pre-cast concrete plugs, giant screws, explosives, sealant pumps, giant magnets, liquid nitrogen, inflatable bladders and all manner of other devices. Mr Redd, who runs a pressure washing and home maintenance business, says he was motivated to try and solve the leak after watching news coverage. \"I was expecting all those engineers to have an idea, that they would have had contingency plans. Eventually it was clear they didn't. \"I'm looking at it from the point of view of doing home maintenance. If this happened in someone's house how would I fix it?\" Prof Steven Sears, chairman of the petroleum engineering department at Louisiana State University, has himself received suggestions in two categories. \"The first are things like using hay to put down on the seashore to absorb the oil. \"The second category is more directed towards stopping the oil flow. Those have been similar to what is being attempted. \"There hasn't been in what I've seen a really novel approach.\" But despite the public enthusiasm, there's a feeling among some experts - not brought in by BP - that they aren't able to contribute their own ideas because of a lack of detail from the oil firm. Science background \"The problem is there is not a whole lot of detailed information released,\" says Prof Sears. \"Exactly what are the pressures, temperatures, flow rates and pipe sizes? \"The more information is released the more analysis can be done by people that are not directly involved.\" It will probably be somebody with some sort of engineering or science background who could come up with an answer, says Howe. It is unlikely that \"a random guy with an English degree\" will crack it, he notes. \"[It might be] someone who has some tangential experience - it isn't some experience that BP think to tap.\" Harrison was a self-educated genius, who already made clocks, and Leblanc had a scientific background. The prize approach made sense in a time when the pool of formal academics was tiny compared with today. And if an ordinary citizen comes up with the solution, they have to hope that the powers-that-be treat them a bit better than they did Harrison and Leblanc.",

            "input": "By Richard CableBBC Northern Ireland The event that triggered that crisis - the signing of the Ulster Covenant - took place just 100 years ago, on 28 September 1912. The centenary is being marked with exhibitions, parades and church services across Northern Ireland. Oath in defiance The Ulster Covenant was an oath in defiance of the British Government, signed by nearly a quarter of a million men of Ulster, Ireland's northernmost province. But it was no breakaway movement. On the contrary, they wanted Ulster to remain part of the United Kingdom and were prepared to fight to keep it there. The long and often bitter history between Britain and Ireland had witnessed many attempts by the Irish people to establish control over their own affairs. By the late 19th century, the favoured formula was 'Home Rule' - a devolved parliament in Dublin to legislate on Irish-only issues, but with Ireland still part of the British Empire. Not everyone in Ireland favoured Home Rule. Opposition among the self-styled 'unionists' was fierce, particularly in Ulster, where the mainly Protestant population feared it was a first step to an independent Ireland. For them, Home Rule meant 'Rome rule', with the Roman Catholic, rural south dominating the Protestant, industrial north. Striking the bargain The driving force behind Home Rule was in fact a Protestant landowner called Charles Stewart Parnell, whose Irish Parliamentary Party brought devolution to the very top of the British political agenda. Home Rule bills were defeated in 1886 and narrowly in 1893, but the movement was growing in strength and it was felt by many that it was only a matter of time before there was a parliament in Dublin. In 1910, the question once again loomed large. The two British general elections of that year had both produced hung parliaments. The Liberals remained the largest party, but needed a coalition with the Irish Parliamentary Party to form a government. The price of the bargain was Home Rule. The bill was passed, with the new Government of Ireland Act coming into effect in 1914. Ireland would have its parliament. The Ulster Unionist Party had been created in 1905 for the express purpose of resisting Home Rule. The chief architect of that resistance was James Craig, the MP for the Irish constituency of East Down. He knew the moment called for a charismatic leader and he found the perfect candidate in Edward Carson, a barrister and pro-union politician from Dublin. All means necessary Craig's master stroke was the Ulster Covenant, an oath that every man in Ulster would be called upon to sign. It stated that their right to remain citizens of the United Kingdom would be defended by \"all means which may be found necessary\". Carson was an electrifying public speaker and galvanised support for the signing at huge rallies across the province. He was the first to sign the Covenant on 'Ulster Day', 28 September 1912, followed by Craig. In all, 237,368 Ulstermen followed suit, with nearly as many women signing a declaration to support them. Each was given a copy of their oath to carry with them at all times. The Covenant itself was never presented to the government. In fact, it was never presented to anyone. It was simply a huge statement of defiance and intent, but one that the British government seemed confident it could ignore. 'Mutiny' and gun-running Craig and Carson knew they must give the Covenant teeth. They discussed plans for a provisional government and commissioned a wealthy Belfast businessman and sometime adventurer called Major Frederick Crawford to arm the newly-formed, 100,000 strong militia of the Ulster Volunteers. By March 1914, the situation was worrying enough for the government to instruct the British Army to move reinforcements into Ulster. Army officers at Curragh, the principal barracks in Ireland, resigned en masse rather than play a part in enforcing Home Rule. Newspapers breathlessly described a 'mutiny' and the government rapidly backed down. The officers were all reinstated. Unionists saw this is a significant victory and it was quickly followed by another. Major Crawford's gun running proved highly successful. In April 1914, he smuggled in a colossal haul of 25,000 rifles and millions of rounds of ammunition from Germany, landing them at Larne, County Antrim. The nationalist militia of the Irish Volunteers responded by landing a thousand German rifles in broad daylight at Howth in Dublin Bay, the Kaiser apparently being only too willing to facilitate armed conflict within the United Kingdom. The bigger crisis With the situation rapidly sliding towards violent confrontation, King George V intervened to bring the parties together at Buckingham Palace for an emergency conference in July 1914. The talks ended in deadlock and civil war became a very real prospect. But within two weeks, the crisis in Ireland was entirely defused by a crisis of much greater proportions. Germany had invaded Belgium and the United Kingdom plunged into four years of global conflict. Men of the Ulster Volunteer Force and the Irish Volunteers put aside their differences and rallied to the defence of the Empire, fighting and dying in their thousands in the ranks of the British Army. The Government of Ireland Act was shelved until after the war, but it was already clear from the strength of unionist opposition and the Curragh Incident that the British Government could not make Home Rule a reality on the ground. An amended act became law in 1921. It effectively created two 'Home Rule' states by partitioning Ireland into the six counties of Protestant majority in the north east - Northern Ireland - and the rest of Ireland - Southern Ireland. It was envisaged that both would remain within the union, but an attempt in 1918 to extend conscription to Ireland proved the final nail in the coffin. In the south of Ireland, the call for Home Rule had given way to a more militant push for independence, led by the separatist Sinn Féin party. A guerrilla war erupted against British rule and in 1922 the Irish Free State was created. Nothing to fear In Northern Ireland, Carson was revered by unionists as their saviour. But he personally saw partition as a failure and resigned as leader of the Ulster Unionists in 1921. In a speech that year he warned: \"We used to say that we could not trust an Irish parliament in Dublin to do justice to the Protestant minority. Let us take care that that reproach can no longer be made against your parliament, and from the outset let them see that the Catholic minority have nothing to fear from a Protestant majority.\" The true architect of the Ulster Covenant and the founding father of the state of Northern Ireland was James Craig. He went on to become Northern Ireland's first prime minister and to a future shaped by his colleague's prophetic words.",

Police have released photographs of the bodies of five of the attackers, along with their first names: Akash, Badhon, Bikash, Don and Ripon. Mr Khan has said that the attackers allegedly belonged to banned domestic group Jumatul Mujahedeen Bangladesh (JMB), despite the so-called Islamic State saying they carried out the attack. Their families had not heard from most of them in months, according to police. However, online reports have identified four of the suspected attackers under different names to those released by police. Three have been identified on social media as Nibras Islam, Meer Saameh Mubasheer and Rohan Imtiaz. A fourth was identified by media in the capital Dhaka as Khairul Islam Payel, who reportedly came from the northern district of Bogra and studied in a madrassa (Islamic school). Payel disappeared about a year ago, according to Prothom Alo newspaper. What do we know about them? According to reports from the Daily Star newspaper, three attackers were from similar backgrounds: Well-educated All three had good educations and are said to have attended private schools in Dhaka. Nibras Islam was said to have studied in Turkish Hope School, an international private school in Bangladesh, then studied in North South University, a top private university in Dhaka. He later allegedly attended Monash University at its Malaysia campus, according to information on his social media page. Meer Saameh Mubasheer and Rohan Imtiaz both reportedly attended Scholastica, a private English school in Dhaka. Active on social media Friends, former classmates and other acquaintances have come forward to identify the attackers after the SITE Intelligence Group published photos of the five gunmen. Islam was active on both Twitter and Facebook before he went missing, and was revealed to have disappeared on 3 February through posts on his Facebook wall. His account has now been deactivated, although reports say his Facebook cover picture also featured a picture of him playing football. Mubasheer was identified by a user named Mahamudur Rahman who originally posted that Mubasheer had gone missing on 1 March. Rahman later posted after the attacks that the same man pictured missing was one of the Dhaka attackers. Imtiaz was identified in local media as the son of Imtiaz Khan Babul, an Awami League party leader, from Facebook pictures. His parents filed a missing person's report with the police after he disappeared last December and had not heard from him since. But they recognised him from photographs of the attackers that have been published in the local media. Now police have urged people to come forward with information about people they know who have gone missing, reports BBC Bengali's Waliur Rahman in Dhaka. Prominent relatives Islam's father is said to be a businessman who owned two houses in Dhaka. He has three uncles, one a police officer, the other a scientist and the last a deputy secretary to the government, according to reports by news outlet bdnews24.com. Mubasheer's father is an executive at Alcatel-Lucent Bangladesh, a French telecommunications company. His mother is said to teach at a government college, while his brother studies at the University of Toronto. Imtiaz's father is a former leader of the Awami League, Bangladesh's current governing party. He is also a deputy secretary at the Bangladesh Olympic Association. \"I am stunned to learn this, dumbfounded,\" Imtiaz Khan told BBC Bengali. \"My son used to pray five times a day from a young age. But we never imagined this. There was nothing at home, no books or anything to indicate he was leaning that way, So we had no inkling.\"",

Nico, developed by computer scientists at Yale University, will take the test in the coming months. The ultimate aim is for Nico to use a mirror to interpret objects around it, in the same way as humans use a rear-view mirror to look for cars. \"It is a spatial reasoning task for the robot to understand that its arm is on it not on the other side of the mirror,\" Justin Hart, the PhD student leading the research told BBC News. So far the robot has been programmed to recognise a reflection of its arm, but ultimately Mr Hart wants it to pass the \"full mirror test\". The so-called mirror test was originally developed in 1970 and has become the classic test of self-awareness. More usually performed on animals, the creature is given time to get used to the mirror and is then anesthetized and marked on the face with odourless, non-tactile dye. The animal's reaction to their reflection is used as a gauge of their self-awareness, based on whether they inspect the mark on their own body, or react as if it does not appear on themselves. To date, only a few non-human species pass these tests, including some primates, elephants and dolphins. Human babies are unable to pass the test until they are 18 months old. Increasingly scientists have used similar tests to analyse self-awareness in robots but none have yet programmed a robot to fully recognise itself from appearance alone. \"This is based on appearance rather than motion. I'm trying to pass the full mirror test,\" said Mr Hart. A study in 2007 saw a robot able to distinguish movements in a mirror by classifying pixels either as belonging to it or to others. Later studies observed how a robot imitated tasks of other robots versus imitating itself in a mirror and most recently the Qbo robot was programmed to react to different images - responding to specific images of itself with the phrase: \"This is you, Qbo.\" Mr Hart, who is working on the project with his supervisor Brian Scassellati, will publish his findings in the spring. \"This is an important step but it is not the endgame of artificial intelligence, it is just a step along the way,\" he said.",

There are 327 workers involved and most work on North Sea platforms Shearwater, Gannet, Nelson, Curlew, Brent Delta, Brent Alpha, Brent Bravo and Brent Charlie. Wood Group provides maintenance and construction services to the installations, having signed a new three-year contract extension with Shell earlier this year. 'Efficiency challenges' In February, Wood Group announced it was cutting rates paid to about a third of its UK contractor workforce. It blamed the \"continuing cost and efficiency challenges affecting the UK North Sea oil and gas sector\". John Boland, Unite regional officer, said talks had failed to find \"an acceptable deal\" for the workforce in the pay dispute. He said: \"We now find ourselves forced down the route of industrial action and in the coming days the workforce will determine the timing and nature of that action. \"That said, we remain available for talks should the company wish to consider an alternative offer. \"However, any talks must respect the workers and especially with regards to exercising their democratic rights in a dispute situation.\" Jake Molloy, RMT regional organiser, said employees, who had gone through two rounds of redundancy and were working longer under increased workloads, now faced reductions in their salaries. He added: \"The workforce message is clear. Enough is enough and it's little wonder we find ourselves in this situation.\" 'Extensive consultation' Wood Group's Dave Stewart said the company remained committed to reaching a resolution, which would meet a \"mutual goal of safeguarding jobs\". He said: \"We are extremely disappointed with the outcome of the ballot. \"Throughout the extensive consultation with our offshore employees we have been fair and transparent, addressing every significant concern that our employees and the unions have expressed.\" Industry body Oil & Gas UK and Shell said they were disappointed by the outcome of the ballots. Shell's Paul Goodfellow said: \"We hope that Wood Group's employees and management can resolve their issues. \"Our priority is to ensure that the safety of our people and assets will not be compromised during any industrial action.\"",

A half a degree doesn't sound like much but whether it is coral reefs, crops, floods or the survival of species, everyone and everything is far better off in a world that keeps below 1.5C. \"Every bit of extra warming makes a difference,\" said Dr Hans-Otto Pörtner of the IPCC. \"By 2100, global mean sea level rise will be around 10cm lower for warming of 1.5 degrees compared with 2C. This could mean up to 10 million fewer people exposed to the risks of rising seas.\" Similarly, when it comes to heat waves, in a world that's warmed by up to 1.5C, about 14% of the population are exposed to a heat wave every five years. That increases to 37% of the population at 2C. It's not option A, B or C; it's option A+B+C The headlines about cutting emissions by 45% by 2030 and getting almost all of our electricity from renewables by the middle of the century, are all very well but a key point of this report is that successfully limiting climate change to 1.5C is not just down to cutting emissions or making lifestyle changes or planting trees - it is all of that and then some, acting in concert at the same time. \"All options need to be exercised in order to achieve 1.5C,\" said Prof Jim Skea, an IPCC co-chair. \"We can make choices about which options and trade off a bit between them, but the idea you can leave anything out is not possible.\" We don't need to re-invent the wheel to limit warming There is a lot of faith put in technology that it can solve many of our environmental problems, especially climate change. This report says that the world doesn't have to come up with some magic machines to curb climate change - we've already got all the tech we need. The report says that carbon will have to be sucked out of the air by machines and stored underground, and that these devices exist already. Billions of trees will have to be planted - and people may have to make hard choices between using land for food or using it for energy crops. But really wacky ideas, such as blocking out the Sun, or adding iron to the oceans have been dismissed by this IPCC report. It's (partly) down to you! Where this new study from the IPCC differs from previous approaches is that it clearly links lifestyle choices with warming. The report's authors say that rapid changes must take place in four key parts of society: Many people might think that they have little personal involvement with any of these - but the IPCC authors say that's not the case. \"It's not about remote science; it's about where we live and work,\" said Dr Debra Roberts. \"The energy we buy, we must be putting pressure on policymakers to make options available so that I can use renewable energy in my everyday life.\" Cutting energy demand by using less of it is a highly effective step. Similarly being aware of what you eat, where it comes from, thinking about how you travel, having a greater interest in all these things can impact energy use. This greater awareness, and the changes it might inspire, could even be good for you. \"Frankly, the more we are prepared to make changes to behavioural patterns that reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the less we would need to rely later on more difficult options that we don't yet fully understand like carbon dioxide removal,\" said Prof Jim Skea. \"There are lots of reasons other than climate change for shifting diets. If we changed to fulfil health recommendations, we'd all live longer and bounce around much more and have nicer lives and we'd also reduce greenhouse gas emissions.\"",

The bank said profits for the six months to the end of June were £1.19bn, compared with £863m a year earlier. The PPI charge had been widely expected. The three months to the end of June mark the last quarter in which the bank can make set aside PPI compensation against its corporation tax bill. Lloyds called the additional provision for PPI \"disappointing\". It said the extra provision reflected \"higher than expected reactive complaints with higher associated redress\". The bank said it had identified about 1.2 million previously defended PPI complaints for re-review at the end of 2014. That had now increased to 1.4 million cases, the banks said. Those cases were being reviewed after the FCA fined the bank as a result of an investigation into the way that some 2.3 million complaints were handled. The FCA found the bank mis-handled complaints between March 2012 and May 2013 The bank also recorded a previously reported loss of £660m on the sale of TSB to Banco Sabadell, which it said was now complete. Lloyds' chief executive Antonio Horta-Osorio said: \"Today's results demonstrate the strong progress we have made in the first half of the year. \"We remain focused on our aim to become the best bank for customer sand shareholders, while at the same time supporting the UK economy.\" The government has reduced its stake in the bank from 43% at the height of the financial crisis to 15%. The government has been steadily reducing its stake in the bank over the past year with share sales to institutional investors. It is expected that the government may announce a discounted share sale to the public - similar to many of the privatisations that took place in the 1980s - in the early half of next year, when its stake is set to be as low at 5%.",

In January, the firm revealed it will also fly three times a week to Alicante and Palma, Majorca, from 22 June from Cardiff. That announcement was welcomed by the Welsh government as further opening up closer business and tourism links between Wales and Spain. The airport became the focus of political criticism this month following the publication of figures showing terminal and transit passengers at Cardiff fell 13% last year to a little more than 1.2m. Over the same period, passenger numbers at Bristol rose 1% to more than 5.7m.

This week he told theWestern Mail newspaper that he would set up and chair a groupof experts aimed at boosting the airport.

The inquiry had heard harrowing tales of abuse, which were never passed on to the relevant authorities. The Church has indicated it will oppose altering the rules around confession.

On Monday, it proposed wide-ranging changes to Australia's criminal justice system. The recommendations will now be put to legislators. Proposed changes The report recommended that people in institutions who \"know, suspect or should have suspected\" a child was being abused should face criminal charges. The issue of mandatory reporting was one of the most discussed aspects of the inquiry. In some cases, abusers had made admissions during Church confession in the knowledge that they would not be relayed to police. \"We heard evidence that perpetrators who confessed to sexually abusing children went on to reoffend and seek forgiveness again,\" the report said. \"We have concluded that the importance of protecting children from child sexual abuse means that there should be no exemption from the failure to report offence for clergy in relation to information disclosed in or in connection with a religious confession.\" However, Melbourne Archbishop Denis Hart said the existing rules around confession should remain. \"Confession in the Catholic Church is a spiritual encounter with God through the priest,\" he said in a statement to the Catholic Leader. \"It is a fundamental part of the freedom of religion, and it is recognised in the law of Australia and many other countries. \"Outside of this all offences against children must be reported to the authorities, and we are absolutely committed to doing so.\" Other recommendations from the inquiry included: The commission heard that 7% of the nation's Catholic priests were accused of abusing children between 1950 and 2010.

He left his home country in 2015 due to the war and conflicts from what he called \"corrupt and criminal organisations against humanity.\" His wife and seven children were living in Syria, unable to leave as they were directly in the line of conflict. They lived in Deir ez-Zor, the largest city in eastern Syria, controlled by fighting factions such as Al-Nusra, the Islamic State group (IS) and QASD militia. Fleeing persecution Abed said these organised groups were notorious for killing and terrorising people, and stealing their money and property. \"The situation was hell, more than that, more than you can imagine,\" he said. \"For me, I saw everything with my own eyes. This is only a small part of the suffering that I and many people have faced.\" The charity Together Now operates a scheme that helps refugees in the UK reunite with family members they had to leave behind whilst fleeing persecution. It said that many refugees are forced to leave their family members behind whilst fleeing persecution. Refugees often have to flee their homes and use whatever financial resources they have to reach safety. Individuals in this situation may not have the means to fund travel for their family or other costs associated with reuniting with them. Abed's journey to the United Kingdom was anything but simple. He managed to escape Syria and travelled through Europe, making it to the Greek island of Chios where he met other refugees trying to migrate to Macedonia. After months of hardship, dangers and fatigue while travelling through Hungary, Austria, Germany and France, he reached the UK where he claimed asylum and was given residence papers. A 3,000 mile journey More than 3,000 miles away, Abed's wife and seven children attempted to move to neighbouring countries but IS controlled entrances to the city from 2013 until the end of 2017, and no one could leave. \"I was in constant contact with my wife and children, and I did not miss a moment,\" he said. \"I thought about them during the day, but in every moment I lived far away from them I suffered a lot in order to save them money for food, drink, medicine, home and clothing.\" They made it to the capital, Damascus, in 2017 to attain new immigration papers, which they had lost in the war. They fled to Beirut to conduct their first visa interview in 2018, where they were required to send their papers from the consulate office in Lebanon to the British Embassy in Amman, Jordan. Then, the first refusal came. What followed was months of visa rejections and soon their money ran out. \"The counsellor was not convinced that this was my wife and children and asked me to present evidence, but I did not have any evidence,\" he said. \"That was a difficult time. It was taking months between the rejections, months of waiting and suffering.\" Refusals After providing DNA analysis to prove Abed was the father of his children, the family's lawyer told them to appeal the decision in court, so the appeal papers were submitted and they waited one year for the hearing. Their visas were finally approved in November 2019 but then the Coronavirus pandemic began, leaving Abed worried if he would ever see his family. His wife and children were told to go to the consulate office in Lebanon to present the required papers and collect their visas earlier this year. However, when his wife went to collect them, she only found six visas, leaving her stranded in Lebanon with their youngest child. Last month, six of his children were flown in to join Abed in Belfast. They were reunited by Together Now and visas for his wife and youngster daughter have now been issued. They are due to travel to Northern Ireland in the coming weeks.",

            "input": "By Tara McKelveyBBC White House reporter In December Chief of Staff John Kelly met Ms Manigault Newman in the Situation Room and told her that her job had come to an end. She secretly recorded their conversation and later allowed the audio to be played on national television. It's not clear why he brought her into the Situation Room, an area that's reserved for high-level national-security meetings, for their discussion. He had reportedly asked others to speak to him there about possible security breaches, according to Axios. That might have played a role but it's still unusual. Speaking on NBC's Today show, she defended her decision to disclose details about their conversation. She said she didn't trust the president or his aides to present an accurate portrayal of her departure from the White House, and so she wanted to provide evidence for what she says happened. Her decision to record her conversation with Mr Kelly in the Situation Room without his knowledge and to release the tape to the public raises important issues, however. According to former White House officials and intelligence analysts, these matters concern security, trust and integrity within the Trump White House as well as the security practices in the Situation Room itself. The Situation Room, which was originally established in 1961, is the place where the nation's most carefully guarded secrets are discussed on a regular basis. According to Steven Aftergood of the Federation of American Scientists, who specialises in government secrecy, it is \"the most sensitive single location in the US government\". He adds: \"It is the place where US forces, including nuclear forces, can be controlled, and it is where intelligence operations can be monitored.\" President Barack Obama oversaw the raid on Osama bin Laden's compound in Pakistan in 2011 from a chair within the Situation Room, for example, a moment in history that was captured in an iconic photograph. Aside from providing a secure location for the president to monitor high-risk intelligence operations, the Situation Room has a processing facility for sensitive communications. On an hour-by-hour, day-by-day basis, a rotating group of officers, members of so-called \"watch teams\", keep an eye on international events, according to a CIA report, so they can inform the president of terrorist attacks, civil war or other significant developments. Given the importance of the activities that take place within the Situation Room, it's easy to imagine it as \"some kind of super-secret vault,\" says David Priess, a former CIA analyst and the author of a book entitled The President's Book of Secrets. In fact, the Situation Room, which is actually a collection of several rooms, looks a little drab and workmanlike, according to Mr Priess and others who've attended meetings there. The Situation Room is housed in the basement of the West Wing, and it's located right next to the White House Mess, a dining hall. It has a conference area that can hold a couple of dozen people, and at times the place can get a bit warm. Only those with top-level security clearances are allowed into the area. These individuals have been vetted by the US secret service. They've also been provided with instructions on how to conduct themselves in the Situation Room and in other secure areas of the White House. No-one's allowed to bring their mobile phones or personal electronic devices into the Situation Room: you leave your phone outside in a small box or locker, says a former Obama administration official, Brett Bruen, explaining that you get a \"little locker key\" that you take with you into meetings. The rules governing the use of mobile phones and other aspects of the Situation Room are spelled out in manuals. Still, relatively few mechanised safeguards or alarms are installed in the basement hallway, and the entrance to the Situation Room looks more casual than those that are set up for airports. \"There's not a physical gate,\" says Mr Priess. You don't go through a metal-detector booth, either. \"There's no-one checking - you don't get wanded,\" says Mr Bruen, using a colloquial term for the hand-held metal detectors that are used by security officials. Instead the rules are enforced in an informal manner by the individuals who go in and out of the room and know the protocols. Says Mr Priess: \"You rely on the culture of integrity around you.\" Ms Manigault Newman's clandestine recording of her Situation Room conversation and the way she released the audio came as a surprise to many people in Washington. She didn't reveal any classified information and may not have broken any laws. Yet she violated a basic tenet of the Situation Room: she talked about what happened inside its walls. Still the president was elected in part because he promised to shake things up, and he hired people who had similar ambitions. For this reason, Ms Manigault Newman's transgression was not a complete shock. As Mr Priess explains: \"The norms and institutions that you just take for granted have just been blown up by this administration.\" Her disclosures are only the latest example, he says, of a disorderly White House.",

Councils have managed to balance funding shortfalls using reserves and council tax rises, the Audit Commission report said. It pointed out that an additional £189m was raised from council taxpayers. According to the watchdog, councils had managed budgets well over the period but face a difficult time ahead. The report found that in 2017-18: The commission forecasts further reductions in funding in the medium term. Because of this, pressure remains on councils to make further savings and find ways of providing services more efficiently and effectively. Councils will learn how much government money they will get in 2019-20 after next month's Scottish budget. Some are already consulting on possible cuts and savings.

Those in China were urged to \"consider departing using commercial means\". At least 213 people have died in China, with almost 10,000 cases of the virus. There have been 98 cases in 18 other countries, according to the WHO, but no deaths. Most international cases are in people who had been to the Chinese city of Wuhan, where the outbreak began. In its updated advisory, the state department said it had \"requested that all non-essential US government personnel defer travel to China\". Last week, it ordered all non-emergency personnel and their family members to leave Wuhan. This alert is the highest of the four-level warning system. The previous advisory had told people only to \"reconsider\" travel to China. Earlier on Thursday, health officials in Chicago reported the first case of human-to-human transmission of the virus in the United States. The discovery marked the second report of the virus in Illinois and the sixth confirmed case in the US. The new patient, a 60-year-old male, apparently contracted the virus from his spouse, a Chicago woman who carried the infection back from Wuhan, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The man had \"some underlying medical conditions\" but was in good condition, officials said. His wife, who had been caring for her father in Wuhan earlier this month, was also stable but remained in isolation at a local hospital. Officials were also monitoring 165 patients across the US for possible infections but CDC director Dr Robert Redfield cautioned the public to remain calm. \"Our assessment remains that the immediate risk to the American public is low,\" he said. The American Airlines pilots' union said it was suing the airline in an attempt to stop flights between the US and China. In a statement, the union said it had instructed members to turn down requests to fly to China. Speaking in Geneva, WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said the global emergency declaration was made because of concerns that the virus could spread to countries with weaker health systems. He praised the \"extraordinary measures\" Chinese authorities had taken, and said there was no reason to limit trade or travel to China. \"Let me be clear, this declaration is not a vote of no confidence in China,\" he said. A number of countries have implemented evacuation and quarantine plans for nationals wanting to return from China, and Russia closed its 4,300km (2,670-mile) far-eastern border with China.

It said it was putting the health service on a year's notice to improve accountability and transparency. To achieve this, the review has got 12 key organisations to sign up to a series of pledges. These include: The review was commissioned by the government after the public inquiry into the Stafford Hospital scandal. Ms Clwyd was asked to lead it after she broke down in a BBC interview last December while describing the poor care her late husband had received. She was sent more than 2,500 letters and emails from people describing similar problems and dissatisfaction with the way complaints are handled. They said they were often unaware of how to make complaints or of the identities of staff they wanted to complain about. They also said they feared reprisals if they did raise concerns. Open hospitals The report concluded there had been a \"decade of failure\" and called for a revolution in complaints handling. As well as the steps mentioned above, it said relatively simple measures, such as providing patients with paper and a pen beside their beds and displaying the names of staff on duty, could also help. Ms Clwyd said: \"When I made public the circumstances of my own husband's death last year, I was shocked by the deluge of correspondence from people whose experience of hospitals was heart-breaking. \"It made me determined to do my best to get change in the system. \"The days of delay, deny and defend must end and hospitals must become open, learning organisations.\" Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt welcomed the report and said a full response to the Stafford Hospital inquiry and the reports that have followed, which include this one as well as others on healthcare assistants, mortality rates and patient safety, would be made before the end of the year. He added: \"I want to see a complete transformation in hospitals' approach to complaints so that they become valued as vital learning tools.\" But patient groups questioned how committed the government really was. Peter Walsh, of Action Against Medical Accidents, pointed out that the government appeared to be watering down the duty of candour called for after the Stafford Hospital scandal. The public inquiry had suggested this should become a legally enforceable duty, but latest plans suggest this will only be applied to the most serious cases of harm. Call for advice service Mr Walsh said: \"For all the good commonsense proposals contained in the report, they would be rendered useless if the government restricts the duty of candour in this way.\" Shadow Health Secretary Andy Burnham said: \"The NHS has an unfortunate tendency to push complainants away and pull down the shutters. That has to change.\" The report comes as the health ombudsman calls for a 24-hour advice service for unhappy patients. Writing in the BBC News website's Scrubbing Up column, ombudsman Dame Julie Mellor said: \"Too often we hear of patients not having the confidence to raise a concern on a hospital ward.\" She said patients and carers should be able to access advice on how to raise a concern \"24 hours a day, seven days a week\", and that \"every patient, carer and relative would have the opportunity to raise an issue in person, by email or over the phone\".",

Most said any savings would be made through efficiencies, but 16 councils said services would be cut or reduced. The government said councils were being given money to spend on services. Rationing The BBC's FoI request reveals: \"While we appreciate the value that discretionary services such as Cripps add to patient choice and access, during times of severe cuts to our operating budgets we cannot continue to provide those which are additional and complementary to core provision,\" Nottingham city council told the BBC. Some councils, however, said they had managed to save money and improve services. Waltham Forest, for example, said it would improve access by having more clinics and longer opening times, despite a drop in its budget. Many areas are increasing the availability of home self-test kits, which can be ordered online. And in London and Manchester \"chem-sex\" support groups have been set up to help those who use drugs as part of sexual activity. Drug use in a sexual context increases the risk of transmission of HIV, hepatitis and other sexually transmitted infections, Public Health England has said. Patients 'turned away' Dr Anatole Menon-Johansson is clinical lead for sexual health at Guy's and St Thomas', in south London, as well as the clinical director for the charity Brook. His trust serves areas with some of the highest rates of sexually transmitted infections in the country, but reduced its clinics from six to three last year. He said: \"There is unmet need. STI rates are still very high. And we have clinics that are closing. The reality is it's not going to help. \"Last week, we turned away around 300 patients. However, this was around half the amount of patients we were turning away each week last year due to the measures we have put in place\" Dr Menon-Johansson said he had recently spoken to a patient who had gone to St George's hospital seeking help only to find the clinic there had been closed. \"He then went to the Vauxhall clinic and that had been closed. Then I saw him at the Walworth Road clinic, where it was third time lucky for him.\" Harder to get an appointment Having previously been diagnosed with genital warts, Liv Grosvenor, 24, from the North Norfolk coast, has regular check-ups, but her nearest sexual health clinic is now 25 miles away and an hour's drive. It had moved to this less convenient location in 2015, Ms Grosvenor said, making it harder to reach by public transport. \"Since it's been moved and the funding's been cut, it's really difficult to access,\" she said. Dr Olwen Williams, of the British Association for Sexual Health, said the FoI findings should \"raise alarm bells\". \"With the recent emergence of multi-drug resistant gonorrhoea and record levels of syphilis being detected, clinics are being closed at the worst possible time,\" she said. The Royal College of Nursing also warned of a potential public health risk. It said: \"If people are not able to access services, then serious conditions go undiagnosed, untreated and spread further.\" A government official said it had a \"strong track record\" on sexual health, with teenage pregnancies at an all-time low. More than £16bn will have been given to councils to spend on public health over the five years from 2015 to 2020. Responsibility for sexual health was taken away from NHS England and handed to councils in 2013. Since then, STI testing and most contraceptive services have been overseen by local authorities. In Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland public health services are still run by the NHS. Izzie Seccombe from the Local Government Association said: \"It's good news that we've got growing demand because that means that young people are taking their sexual health really seriously, and being responsible. But it is difficult for us to match growing demand with a reducing budget.\"",

            "input": "By Ian WestbrookHealth reporter, BBC News The rise in numbers comes as the NHS is running a public consultation into whether England should follow Wales and introduce an opt-out donation scheme. The online consultation has so far had more than 11,000 responses; a huge amount bearing in mind similar surveys usually attract a few hundred replies. The NHS's Claire Williment said: \"It has got the nation talking.\" Mrs Williment, head of transplant development for NHS blood and transplant (NHSBT), said this was \"a positive thing\". Families consulted Anthony Clarkson, assistant director of organ donation and nursing at NHS Blood and Transplant said: \"January was by far the busiest month on record for organ donation thanks to 170 very special individuals. \"Thanks to the generosity of organ donors and the support of their families, people in desperate need of a transplant are getting a second chance at life,\" he added. The 12-week consultation, which runs until 6 March, asks people their views on three questions: Under the current system in England, people who want to donate their organs opt in by signing up as a donor on the NHS organ donor register and telling their family their decision. If a decision has not been recorded at the time of a person's death, hospital staff will consult family members on whether organ donation should go ahead. Of the 600,000 people who died in the UK between 1 April 2016 and 31 March 2017, only 5,681 were eligible donors, but after donation requests were made to families only 1,413 became donors. Families are always consulted before a donation takes place and 91% of them agree to it if their relative is on the organ donation register (ODR), according to figures from the NHSBT potential donor audit. However, when patients are not on the ODR then 47% of families say no to a donation. On average, one organ donor contributes to three transplants but it is possible for their organs or tissue to be used in up to nine people. One option for the future in the consultation is for a person's donation decision to be respected after their death, without their family being asked. However, Mrs Williment said any decision on a change like that would be down to the Department of Health. Dr Dale Gardiner, deputy national clinical lead for organ donation and intensive care consultant at Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust, said that donation should be considered to be \"a fundamental part of end of life care\". He added: \"It is the most humbling moment of my career in intensive care when a family look beyond their grief and say yes to donation. \"The worst moment is when families do not know their loved one's wishes,\" he added. Wales introduced an opt-out system in December 2015 with adults regarded as having consented to organ donation unless they have opted out. When it started, more than one million people - 34% of the population - registered to opt in with 86,000 opting out. However, a study published last December, two years into the scheme, showed that it had not increased the number of donors in the country. NHSBT figures show that donor numbers in the UK have increased in all but one of the past 10 years, while the number of people on the transplant waiting list has decreased every year since 2009-10. Keith Rigg, consultant transplant surgeon at Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust, admitted that opt-out may not be the way to raise the number of donors in England even higher. He felt that full results from Wales should be studied before such a move was considered in England. \"There is no clear evidence that this has resulted in an increase in organ donations and transplants where it has been introduced,\" he said. \"There do appear to be higher rates in countries where there this has been brought in but many other factors muddy the waters. \"For example, in the three European countries with the highest organ donation rate - Spain, Croatia and Portugal - the reason is down to [other] changes,\" he explained. About 80% of transplant patients are waiting to receive a new kidney. Fiona Loud, policy director at Kidney Care UK, said: \"One person dies every day whilst waiting for a kidney transplant; it is abundantly clear that we need to review our current system now to stop this continuing.\" Last June, the Scottish government said it would bring forward legislation to provide an opt-out system. However in October, a leading transplant surgeon in Northern Ireland said the province was \"not ready\" for such a system to be introduced. Meanwhile, on Wednesday, senators in the Netherlands approved the introduction of an opt-out scheme in their country.",

Michael Jordan is considered to be the best basketball player in the history of the game, and became a global icon in the 1980s and 1990s, helping to raise the NBA's profile around the world. A recent Netflix series, \"The Last Dance,\" has renewed interest in his life. Christies said the shoes, which belonged to US firm Stadium Goods, were the \"greatest\" collection of historic Michael Jordan footwear ever offered at one time. All the shoes were made by Nike, which sponsored the player for much of his career. The Air Jordan 1 High's, which had an estimated sale price of $650,000- $850,000, were the top lot.

Knowing you are one of the only people who will have a certain model feels quite nice.\" He said he paid up to £270 for trainers and had only worn 30 of the pairs he owns, keeping the rest on display in his house. He said the price of a pair of trainers was usually determined by their \"unavailability\" and association with famous people or events. \"There is a resale market [for these shoes], people want to buy trainers even if they have been worn...

His daughters Katherine Holden and Fanny Ferrato attended the official opening of an exhibition of some their father's work at the Library's Oriel Gregynog, where it will remain on display until December. Griffiths was born in Rhuddlan, Denbighshire, in 1936 and initially worked as a photographer for the Guardian and the Observer, before travelling to Vietnam in 1966 for the Magnum photo agency. He is credited with helping to end the war through the publication of his powerful images of the conflict, which were published in a book called Vietnam Inc. in 1971. He later went on to photograph other conflicts zones, including Northern Ireland. He died from cancer in March 2008. 'Proud Welshman' Mrs Holden said: \"We're overwhelmed. We are so pleased with this exhibition. Not only have they shown his work beautifully, but they've also captured a little piece of him. \"For us, it was very emotional coming here to see the work. We were in tears.\" \"He was an extremely proud Welshman, and wanted his work to remain in Wales. The partner that we've found in the National Library is everything that we could have asked for. \"This exhibition is the result of shipping hundreds of boxes over from his apartment in New York, and [the library staff] are really the ones who have gone through it all, and found this wonderful material. We could not be more pleased.\" Fanny Ferrato added that there were hopes for a wider audience for their father's work. \"Maybe we could do a travelling exhibition through Wales? And we will definitely have more schools come to see the exhibition while it's at the National Library of Wales. It's a great start and we're really, really proud,\" she said. Katherine Holden said the National Library was the perfect location for the archive. \"I can't think of anywhere safer. It was Philip's dream to maybe develop a centre that students could come and stay at, and it's something we may pursue. But in terms of the work having found its home, we are extremely satisfied.\" The exhibition was opened by Lord Dafydd Wigley, the former president of the National Library, who had personally negotiated the transfer of the Philip Jones Griffiths archive to Aberystwyth. \"I think his dream was to have a farm halfway up Snowdon, which could be a centre for learning about photography and where all his work could be kept. \"That wasn't practical, but the next best thing was that it was in good hands here in Wales. There was initially a bit of doubt as to whether it would be appropriate to keep it in a library or a museum, with the idea that things might be buried and away from sight. \"But once the daughters, the trustees of his foundation, saw the capacity, the skills and talents in the National Library, they saw this was the place to be.\" 'Ranks with the best' One of Philip Jones Griffiths's closest friends, fellow Magnum photographer David Hurn, remains sceptical about housing the archive in Aberystwyth, and would prefer to see the most significant images on display in Cardiff. \"It's terribly easy now for work to be lost and forgotten. In my opinion the kiss of death is that your archives go to a place where nobody sees it. \"It is important, in Philip's case, that - somewhere - there should be an archive of at least 500 of his best pictures. \"It is only two hours from London to Cardiff, and if we only had the stuff in Cardiff people who were interested in photography would come there on the train. They would see the work of a great Welsh person, and that's what Wales should be pushing for. Mr Hurn added that Philip Jones Griffiths still enjoyed global recognition in his field. \"If you go and talk to any photographer in America or Australia, they would have heard of Philip Jones Griffiths. There are very few Welsh artists that you could say that about, and I think it's true to say that he ranks with the best photographers that there have ever been.\" Philip Jones Griffiths - A Welsh Focus on War and Peace is at the National Library of Wales, Aberystwyth, until 12 December 2015.",

            "input": "By Sam FrancisBBC News, London There have been 89 violent deaths in London since January and violent crime has risen by 40% since 2010. Gang-related violent crime has nearly halved over the same period, according to Met Police figures obtained by the BBC. But some experts are unconvinced the statistics really show gangs have gone. The Met Police has put the drop down to the implementation of the Gang Violence Matrix. The database, set up in the wake of the 2011 riots, holds information on about 3,800 people of interest. All officers \"are highly-trained and experienced in working with, and recognising the signs of, gang affiliation and gang membership\", a Met spokesman said. \"By identifying high-harm gang members and targeting them through intelligence-led enforcement, the number of violent offences committed by gang members has been reduced.\" Police claim various types of intelligence, including history of violent crime, entries on social media and information from bodies including local councils to identify gang members, are used in the matrix. But many believe the matrix is flawed. In May, Amnesty International labelled the tool \"not fit for purpose\", claiming it tracked a disproportionate number of people from ethnic minorities. Retired Met Police Superintendent Leroy Logan claimed the matrix was \"criminalising youngsters on a flawed algorithm\". An overemphasis on gang crime by politicians and the media was \"fake news\", he said. \"After the 2011 riots everyone blamed gangs and the feral youth. This narrative prospered under Boris Johnson and David Cameron, who hijacked the agenda which led to stereotyping,\" Mr Logan added. \"But if middle class kids did what those on the gang matrix did, it wouldn't be considered gang crime.\" Last year, just one in every 500 violent crimes recorded by the Met Police was tagged as gang-related. Gangs have been found to be responsible for 15% of London's murders since 2010. Met Police definition of a gang A gang is defined as \"a relatively durable, predominantly street-based group of young people who see themselves [and are seen by others] as a discernible group, and engage in a range of criminal activity and violence\". They may also have any or all of the following features: Identify with or lay claim over territory; have some form of identifying structure feature and are in conflict with other similar gangs. Dez Brown, who was convicted of manslaughter at the age of 17, said like many others he was classed as a gangster. But Mr Brown, who is now an ordained minister running a project which tackles youth crime called Spark2Life, believes the \"definition of gangs is too loose\". \"This allows anyone to label you as a gang member,\" he said. \"I wasn't in a gang. There was an affiliation in the area and I had friends, but we weren't working as a collective and I hadn't pledged allegiance to any group. \"It's unfair to say all people involved in organised crime are a gang, lots are being exploited, some are just trying to get by. But in court they are labelled as part of the gang and tarnished with the same brush.\" Simon Harding, an expert on gangs at the University of West London, said he believed the Met's definition of gang crime was insufficient. \"The new figures do not match what I'm seeing in Accident and Emergency departments, or on the street,\" the criminologist said. \"If the perpetrator and victim are affiliated then it's a gang crime, it doesn't matter if they were carrying out organised crimes. \"It's done within the context of building street capital though violence, which is related to gang crime.\" The background issues around gang crime are a product of inequality, he believes. \"If we don't tackle these, they will crystallize, deepen and get worse in a way where investment wont shift them.\" Another criminologist pointed to the way gangs are evolving as a potential cause of the statistical change. \"Although there is a decrease in reported gangland crime in London it doesn't necessarily mean an actual decrease,\" Mohammed Rahman, of Birmingham University, said. Gangs are moving from \"the analogue world to the digital world\", which could mask the true scale of gang crimes, according to Dr Rahman. While he believes the Met Police are doing a good job of tackling organised criminal aspects in London, he said people \"are also moving out of London, through the county lines system\". Patrick Green, of the Ben Kinsella Trust, said despite debate over what constitutes a gang, \"the bottom line is there has been an increase in the number of young people being murdered\". \"There are vulnerable people walking around London in an heightened state of fear, and we are not having the level of success we should be,\" he added. \"The challenge is rectifying what is happening on the ground.\"",

And he announced powers to sell guilty defendants' cars to recoup legal costs. It follows a warning from Supreme Court President Lord Neuberger that legal aid cuts already going ahead in civil cases may restrict access to justice. Savings of up to £350m have already been earmarked by removing legal aid for a range of civil cases including those involving social welfare debt, employment, family problems, clinical negligence, divorce and housing problems. But Mr Grayling said in a statement: \"Criminal defence represents by far the largest element of our remaining legal aid spend, where we are still spending over £1bn a year.\" He added: \"We are working to improve the efficiency of the criminal justice system as a whole, to move towards swifter resolution of cases before the courts.\" Mr Grayling said the consultation paper on plans - including introducing price competition in the criminal legal aid market - would be published in April. Tendering for contracts would be opened in autumn 2013 and the first contracts would \"go live\" in autumn 2014, he said. Mr Grayling said the consultation would include further \"proposals to both improve the credibility of the legal aid scheme and reduce its cost to the taxpayer\". Those proposals have yet to be announced. Meanwhile, the Bar Council, which represents barristers in England and Wales, warned that \"a model based on price competition is a blunt instrument\". \"It assures none of the safeguards and qualities which we must expect from our justice system,\" chairman Maura McGowan QC said. She added: \"Decisions on allocation of work must be made on quality and not on money alone.\" The Ministry of Justice also announced new measures on Tuesday to clamp down on criminals hiding their assets to qualify for legal aid under the \"Crown Court means-testing scheme\". From July 2013, a defendant's car can be seized and sold if convicted to help recoup their legal costs. Other measures include making criminals pay the entire cost of their defence if they refuse to take part in means testing. Mr Grayling's statement follows a warning from Lord Neuberger - the UK's most senior judge - that cuts to legal aid in civil cases, which will come into effect from April, could make people feel they cannot access justice and could then \"take the law into their own hands\". He told the BBC: \"My worry is the removal of legal aid for people to get advice about law and get representation in court will start to undermine the rule of law because people will feel like the government isn't giving them access to justice in all sorts of cases.\" Mike Dixon from Citizens Advice said the legal aid funding it received paid for \"really in-depth, specialist advice, when people's problems have really become difficult\". \"So what we're going to have to do is be creative about it, help people using less money and giving them actually slightly less in-depth advice, and that is a tragedy for many many hundreds of thousands of people,\" he said. Funding will continue for some civil cases including family law involving domestic violence or forced marriage and debt and housing matters where someone's home is at immediate risk. The Ministry of Justice said legal aid would continue to be provided to \"those who most need it\". Lord Neuberger also said it was \"unfortunate\" that Home Secretary Theresa May had attacked judges for \"ignoring\" rules on deporting foreign criminals. But he said he would not get into a \"slanging\" match with Mrs May. The interview came two weeks after Mrs May accused judges of making the UK more dangerous by ignoring rules aimed at deporting more foreign criminals. She told the Mail on Sunday that they were choosing to \"ignore Parliament's wishes\".",

            "input": "By Jonathan AmosBBC Science Correspondent Researchers using Europe's Cryosat radar spacecraft have traced the movement of grounding lines around the continent. These are the places where the fronts of glaciers that flow from the land into the ocean start to lift and float. The new study reveals an area of seafloor the size of Greater London that was previously in contact with ice is now free of it. The report, which covers the period from 2010 to 2016, is published in the journal Nature Geoscience. \"What we're able to do now with Cryosat is put the behaviour of retreating glaciers in a much wider context,\" said Dr Hannes Konrad from the University of Leeds, UK. \"Our method for monitoring grounding lines requires a lot of data but it means you could now basically build a permanent service to monitor the state of the edges of the continent,\" he told BBC News. Although the end product is quite simple, the process of getting to it is quite a complex one. Viewed from above, the position of grounding lines is not always obvious. The glaciers themselves are hundreds of metres thick, and where they begin to float as they come off the continent can be hard to discern in simple satellite images. But there are radar techniques that can find their location by spotting the up and down tidal movement of a glacier's floating ice. This, however, is just a snapshot in time. What Dr Konrad and colleagues have done is use these known positions and then combine the data with knowledge about the shape of the underlying rock bed and changes in the height of the glaciers' surface to track the evolving status of the grounding lines through time. The new study triples the coverage of previous surveys. On the face of it, the results are pretty much as expected. Of the 1,463km² of grounded ice that has been given up, most of it is in well documented areas of West Antarctica where warm ocean water is known to be infiltrating the undersides of glaciers to melt them. Dr Konrad explained: \"If you take 25m per year as a threshold, which is sort of the average since the end of the last ice age, and you say anything below this threshold is normal behaviour and anything above it is faster than normal - then in West Antarctica, almost 22% of grounding lines are retreating more rapidly than 25m/yr. \"That's a statement we can only make now because we have this wider context.\" The new data-set confirms other observations that show the mighty Pine Island Glacier, one of the biggest and fast-flowing glaciers on Earth, and whose grounding line had been in major retreat since the 1940s, appears now to have stabilised somewhat. The line is currently going backwards by only 40m/yr compared with the roughly 1,000m/yr seen in previous studies. This could suggest that ocean melting at the PIG's base is pausing. Its next-door neighbour, Thwaites Glacier, on the other hand, is seeing an acceleration in the reversal of its grounding line - from 340m/yr to 420m/yr. Thwaites is now the glacier of concern because of its potential large contribution to global sea-level rise. And the UK and American authorities will shortly announce a major joint campaign to go and study this ice stream in detail. Elsewhere on the continent, 10% of marine-terminating glaciers around the Antarctic Peninsula are above the 25m/yr threshold; whereas in East Antarctic, only 3% are. The significant stand-out in the East is Totten Glacier, whose grounding line is retreating at a rate of 154m/yr. Overall, for the entire continent, 10.7% of the grounding line retreated faster than 25m/yr, while 1.9% advanced faster than the threshold. One fascinating number to come out of the study is that grounding lines in general are seen to retreat 110m for every metre of thinning on the fastest flowing glaciers. This relationship will constrain computer models that try to simulate future change on the continent. Leeds co-author Dr Anna Hogg said: \"The big improvement here is Cryosat, which gives us continuous, continent-wide coverage, which we simply didn't have with previous radar missions. \"Its capabilities have allowed us to build up a picture of retreat rates, especially at the steeply sloping margins of the continent, which is where these changes are taking place. We have eight years of coverage now and it's guaranteed in the future for as long as Cryosat keeps working,\" she told BBC News.

It was found at the old Cwm Colliery near Beddau, described as one of the most biodiverse in the region. Researchers had already discovered the 12mm-long Maerdy Monster. This was believed to have been the first millipede species found in the UK since 1993. But at only 5mm long, the Beast of Beddau - found about 13 miles (21km) from the earlier discovery - is half the size. It was found underneath stones by naturalist Christian Owen - who also found the Maerdy Monster. The \"Beast\" has seven or eight lenses in its eyes - unlike the six found in a similar species. Scientists in Canada examined its genes as part of the research. Altogether, surveys were conducted across 15 colliery spoil sites - eight in Rhondda Cynon Taf and seven in Neath Port Talbot - between 2015 and 2018. Spoil from old coal mines is low in nutrients but researchers found the earth can be quite complex and allow lichen-heath and even wetland habitat to develop. But it is still widely seen as derelict land, suitable only for reclamation, re-development or tree-planting. Liam Olds, the insect expert behind the research, said colliery spoil sites were becoming an \"increasingly important refuge\" for species declining in the wider countryside. \"On a single colliery site you can have anything from woodland, to flower-rich grassland, lakes, ponds and reed beds - providing the variety needed for insects to complete their life cycle,\" he said. The tips had become \"little islands where biodiversity can thrive.\" The study found nearly 200 different invertebrate species which were rare enough to be classed as conservation priorities. Ninety bee species were identified - including aptly-named mining bees - 13 dragonfly species and 28 types of butterfly. Some of the colliery sites surveyed had been reclaimed, others had been left to grow wild. The research was supported by Neath Port Talbot and Rhondda Cynon Taf councils, the National Museum of Wales, the Wildlife Trusts of South and West Wales, and Buglife Cymru. Clare Dinham, Buglife Cymru's director, said a change in attitude towards the tips was now needed. \"Unfortunately the public, councils and Welsh Government don't necessarily have the greatest perception of brownfield sites,\" she said. \"They are seen as areas we should develop, saving greener areas that might be biodiversity deficient. \"So this report is going to be really important for us to highlight their importance across Wales and the UK.\" Iconic and notable species found",

The party agreed last month to a \"substantial\" payout to seven whistleblowers who spoke to the BBC. Claims of anti-Semitism within Labour dogged Jeremy Corbyn's time as leader. In a July 2019 BBC Panorama programme, entitled Is Labour Anti-Semitic?, a number of former party officials alleged that senior figures close to the leadership at the time had interfered in the process of dealing with anti-Semitism complaints. They also claimed they had faced a huge increase in complaints since Mr Corbyn's election as leader in 2015. A party statement at the time denounced them as \"disaffected former staff\" who had \"personal and political axes\" to grind and accused them of trying to undermine Mr Corbyn - who was replaced as leader by Sir Keir Starmer in April this year. Seven of the whistleblowers took legal action and, in a statement read out in the High Court last month, Labour unreservedly apologised, saying it was determined to root out anti-Semitism in the party and the wider movement. It admitted its earlier press statement had \"contained defamatory and false allegations about these whistleblowers\". Mr McCluskey, a supporter of Mr Corbyn, has criticised the accompanying payout, telling the Observer: \"It's an abuse of members' money. A lot of it is Unite's money and I'm already being asked all kinds of questions by my executive. \"It's as though a huge sign has been put up outside the Labour Party with 'Queue here with your writ and get your payment over there'.\" He said there was \"no doubt\" the union's executive would demand a review of its funding of Labour. Unite gave £401,875 to the party in the first three months of this year and has donated several million pounds over recent years. After the whistleblowers' settlement, Mr Corbyn described the party's response as \"disappointing\", adding that the legal advice had been that Labour \"had a strong defence\".

On 20 July a suicide bombing killed 32 people - mostly Kurdish youth activists - in Suruc, a Turkish town not far from Kobane.

In a national broadcast, Mr Maduro claimed his country had been the victim of international sabotage, which had prevented new 500-bolivar currency notes arriving in time. Many Venezuelans have spent several days in long queues trying to hand in or swap the old notes. Thousands of shops have closed because of a cash shortage, and the public have been forced to rely on credit cards or bank transfers. Many were left unable to buy food. Anger over the move led to skirmishes in six cities on Friday, the Associated Press reported. It said 32 people were taken into custody and one person was injured. In Maracaibo there were incidents of looting which the police got under control by firing tear gas. The government had said the scrapping of the 100-bolivar note was necessary to prevent smuggling. The president said the aim was to tackle gangs which hoard Venezuelan currency abroad, a move he has previously described as part of the \"economic war\" being waged against his government. Venezuela pulls banknote 'to hit mafia' Venezuelans mock 'useless' banknote What is behind the crisis in Venezuela? Mr Maduro has said the gangs hold more than 300bn bolivares worth of currency, most of it in 100-bolivar notes. He said there were \"entire warehouses full of 100-bolivar notes in [the Colombian cities of] Cucuta, Cartagena, Maicao and Bucaramanga\". The president said one reason for withdrawing the banknotes was to block any of the 100-bolivar notes from being taken back into Venezuela so the gangs would be unable to exchange their hoarded bills, making them worthless. Central bank data suggests there are more than six billion 100-bolivar notes in circulation, making up almost half of Venezuela's currency. Economic experts fear scrapping the note will have little positive effect on the country's chronic economic and political problems. Opposition leaders say the initiative shows that President Maduro is ruining the economy and must be ousted.

            "input": "By Jenny HarbyBBC News In these days of public service cutbacks and closures, a new library launch is certainly newsworthy. But when the Library of Birmingham opened in September 2013, in a ceremony hosted by Nobel-prize winning Malala Yousafzai, the coverage was almost feverish. Eighteen months later, interest in the building clearly has not dipped. The library has just been named as one of the top 10 most popular visitor attraction in the UK, according to the Association of Leading Visitor Attractions (Alva). Alva said it was the first time any English attraction outside London had made it into the list. In getting there, the library pipped to the post other prestigious contenders such as London's British Library, which drew 1,627,599 visits compared to the Library of Birmingham's 2,414,860. Bernard Donoghue, chief executive of Alva, said Birmingham's library had exceeded all expectations. So what is the secret of its success? One of the primary reasons is its architecture. The building cost nearly £190m to build and was designed by Dutch firm Mecanoo. \"The most important thing was to bring a kind of coherence because it felt as if the city had many fragments of buildings from different periods,\" said architect Francine Houben. \"The architecture is compelling,\" said Mr Donoghue. \"That alone attracts a lot of tourists. When you go inside, it feels as if it's a temple to learning and education. It also gives you a platform to look out over the rest of Birmingham.\" The building missed out on the Riba Stirling Prize for best new building of the year, which went to Liverpool's Everyman Theatre. But it did win a BBC poll, in which 90,000 people voted, to find the public's favourite on the shortlist. A library spokesman said winning the public's backing was \"very gratifying\". Lydia Williams, 33, a charity worker from Birmingham \"I didn't like the building when it was being built. \"Birmingham is a big mish-mash of different architectural styles and I don't like how it looks. \"It's so different to everything around it and I think it will look really outdated in about 30 years. \"But the facilities are amazing. I work in a team and we come here for meetings and it's really good and the Shakespeare room is brilliant.\" Another reason for the library's success is what it houses - books. But the books here are not the battered copies of Catherine Cookson or C.S Forester you might find at your local lending service. \"The new building has put the value of libraries on the economic map,\" said Mr Donoghue. \"You can tell when you walk in how learning and intellectual curiosity is valued.\" It is the largest public lending library in Europe, with a series of rotundas housing its collection of more than 400,000 books. Special features include its nationally-important photography collection and archives and its Shakespeare Memorial Room, on the ninth floor. The architecture here is deliberately different - a restored, wood-panelled relic from Birmingham's 1882 Victorian library - and contains one of the largest Shakespeare collections in the world, including a First Folio. Harprit Bilkhoo, 32, a GP from Birmingham \"We come here quite often and bring the kids. It's a really good public space, on a par with the best of other cities. \"You'd expect most top attractions to be in London, as there's more investment there. \"But the library makes a statement that in the next 20 years or so Birmingham will truly take its place as the second city.\" It is not just the significance of its collections that make Birmingham's book bank \"more than a library\". It has a host of additional facilities include a digital gallery, a subterranean amphitheatre, an outdoor garden - or discovery terrace - and a gallery, which is used for visiting exhibitions and showcasing collections. Experts believe this mix of facilities is crucial to the library's wider appeal. \"The library is a bit of a phenomenon,\" said Richard Moss, editor of Culture 24, which promotes cultural venues across the UK. \"You can go and browse films and TV programmes from the British Film Institute national archive or visit exhibitions - it has elements of a museum, really. \"Of course, not all libraries can do what Birmingham has done, and a huge amount of money has gone into it. \"But I think it shows you what the 21st Century library can do - and maybe has to do in order to survive.\" Beck Millard, 23, an education mentor from Dudley \"I come here with my students most days and it's great to read and learn in such a nice environment. \"London is a number one city, so you would expect most attractions to be from there but Birmingham has good things too. \"Birmingham is maybe misunderstood. People need to come here and see what we have.\" If you were going to invest £190m in a huge new attraction, common sense suggests you would try to locate it in London. England's capital city routinely pulls in millions more visitors than anywhere else in the UK, as demonstrated in its dominance of the Alva survey. But recent surveys have suggested Birmingham's tourism stock is rising. It is now the UK's fourth most-visited city, behind London, Edinburgh and Manchester and has been extolled in the likes of the New York Times and the Rough Guides. \"The library is part of the renaissance of Birmingham - it's a place people are extremely proud of,\" said Mr Moss. \"Birmingham is buzzing,\" said James Smart, destinations editor at Lonely Planet. \"The city has outstanding museums and galleries, great restaurants, picturesque canals and reminders of its industrial past like the Jewellery Quarter. So is the library's success set to continue? Like other publicly-funded services, the library is set to make massive job cuts little more than a year after it opened. The Labour-led city council said 100 of the building's 188 staff would lose their jobs. However, the council's Conservative opposition said they were \"saddened\" by the cuts which they feared would threaten the library's legacy. \"What sort of message does that send out to the wider world? What does it say about us as a city?\" former council leader Lord Whitby, who helped spearhead the development said. Val Birchall, the council's assistant director of culture and visitor economy, said: \"Like so many other libraries and publicly-funded cultural organisations across the whole country, we are facing challenging times ahead.\" \"It's always the case that a new visitor attraction has a honeymoon period of about 18 months to two years,\" said Mr Donoghue. \"After that, the figures inevitably tail off. But I really hope the city council continues its imaginative and brave investment in the library as a place which celebrates Birmingham.\"",

In the past three weeks, at least 460 people across five provinces have been hospitalised, with the youngest victim a 19-year-old woman. Alcohol is illegal in Iran but bootleg booze is widespread. However, ethanol is sometimes reportedly replaced with toxic methanol in the contaminated drink. Police in the southern city of Bandar Abbas last week arrested a couple for allegedly producing home-made alcohol. BBC Persian's Rana Rahimpour says it is not unusual for tainted alcohol to cause injuries or deaths in Iran, but what is surprising is the significant numbers of deaths and the spread of the problem to a number of provinces. Analysts spoken to by the BBC's Persian service believe the economic impact of the US pulling out of the Iran nuclear deal may be playing a part. With the collapse in the value of the Iranian currency against the dollar, people may be turning to cheap, homemade alcohol over expensive foreign imports. Iranian anti-drugs officials believe that every year 80 million litres of alcohol worth $730 million (£559m) is smuggled into Iran. Iranian Muslims have been barred from drinking alcohol since the country's revolution in 1979. Article 265 of Iran's Islamic penal code states that the punishment for consumption of alcohol by a Muslim is 80 lashes. There is however an exemption for non-Muslim citizens to produce alcohol for their own consumption or for religious purposes, like the Eucharist. More on life in Iran:",

On Tuesday a Supreme Court judge ordered the government to release the figures amid accusations of censorship. Brazil has the world's second-highest number of cases - and has now more daily deaths than any other nation. Earlier, President Jair Bolsonaro said the change in policy was a result of actions being taken to improve Covid-19 reporting. The health ministry said it would only report cases and deaths that had occurred in the past 24 hours. But critics accused the far-right president's government of data manipulation, with Brazil's national council of state health secretaries describing the move as \"authoritarian, insensitive, inhuman and unethical\". Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes told the ministry to \"fully re-establish\" the publication of Covid-19 data in the interests of public health. Brazil has the world's second-highest number of cases, and has recently had more new deaths than any other nation. The Latin American country has recorded more than 700,000 infections, but because of insufficient testing, the number is believed to be much higher. More than 37,000 people have died, the third-highest toll in the world. Using data from alternative sources, Brazilian media outlets started publishing their own coronavirus figures to keep the public informed. They criticised President Bolsonaro for his handling of the pandemic, during which he has opposed lockdown measures and downplayed the virus as \"a little flu\". On Tuesday, the president reiterated his threat to withdraw Brazil from the World Health Organization (WHO), accusing it of not acting responsibly during the pandemic. Last week, Mr Bolsonaro branded the health agency a \"partisan political organisation\", echoing comments made by US President Donald Trump, an ally of his. The president has repeatedly joined supporters in protests in recent months, ignoring social-distancing advice. What did the judge say? In a statement on Tuesday, Mr Moraes said the health ministry must \"fully re-establish the daily divulgation of epidemiological data on the Covid-19 pandemic\", including on its website. The judge made the ruling on Monday night in response to a legal challenge from three political parties. Mr Moraes gave Mr Bolsonaro's government 48 hours to release the full figures again, O Global newspaper reported. He said the health emergency in Brazil was so serious, it required all government agencies to \"put into effect public health protection\". The judge \"highlighted the disastrous consequences for the population if internationally recognised measures are not adopted, such as the collection, analysis, storage and dissemination of relevant epidemiological data\". What is the situation in Brazil? Only the US has more coronavirus infections than Brazil, the most populous country in Latin America. Health experts say infections are expected to rise even further, as the outbreak is still weeks away from its peak, putting more strain on hospitals. Last month, Brazil's death toll surpassed that of Italy's, placing the nation third in the world, behind only the US and the UK. Mr Bolsonaro has played down the risks of the virus, comparing it to \"a bit of a cold\". Two health ministers have left the post since the outbreak began in disagreement with the president's handling of the pandemic. The president has continued to call for lockdown measures imposed by local authorities to be lifted, arguing that they will wreck the economy. The president has also accused state governors and mayors of using the issue for political gain, as many who have taken stricter measures oppose his government.",

Belfast Chamber of Commerce supports the move, believing it would boost retail spending and create jobs. However, Retail NI, which represents small traders, fears it could be exploited by supermarkets and has \"serious concerns.\" The move is also opposed by the shop workers' union, Usdaw It has requested a meeting with the council on 19 May, when a council committee is due to deliberate the move. The proposal could see large shops in Belfast having their trading hours extended on up to 18 Sundays between 1 March and 30 September each year. The step is made possible by designating the city as a holiday resort under legislation from 1997. Last year, a council paper stated there was \"a strong lobby\" to review Sunday trading, currently permitted from 13:00-18:00. It said the move would boost the economy, benefit tourism and support the regeneration of the city centre. Usdaw general secretary John Hannett said the current trading arrangements were a \"fair compromise\". \"Many shop workers, particularly parents, tell us how important Sunday is to them and their family,\" he said. \"Often it is the one day of the week when everyone can sit down together for a meal, with many saying they needed the time on Sunday to help their children prepare for the school week.\"",

Gareth Ratcliffe, a Liberal Democrat councillor for Hay, suggested the county's larger libraries could bear the brunt of cuts, according to the Local Democracy Reporting Service. He told a full council meeting the cut amounted to one-sixth of the libraries budget of £1.2m, asking: \"Have the bigger ones been asked to make savings?\" In reply, Rachel Powell, the cabinet member for culture, said the council had previously worked with communities to save libraries by co-locating them in other premises.

Testing was still low and we didn't really know what was going on,\" Dr Dosi, who works at Sri Aurobindo Institute of Medical Sciences, a 1,156-bed private medical college in the central city of Indore, told me. Less than a fortnight later, Dr Dosi began seeing an uptick in admissions of Covid-19 patients. Around the end of March, the hospital was receiving 28 infected patients every day. They had dry cough, fever, and difficulty breathing. Their blood oxygen levels were low. They were reporting loss of taste and smell. In the first wave of patients, nearly a dozen came from far-flung districts, more than 150km (93 miles) from Indore, a bustling commercial city in Madhya Pradesh state. The state has now become a hotspot, with nearly 400 confirmed infections out of the more than 6,400 infections and nearly 200 deaths across the country so far. By the second week of April, Dr Dosi and his team of 100 doctors and nearly an equal number of nursing staff working 24/7 in three shifts, were treating 144 Covid-19 patients. (Thirty-one had been treated and sent home already.) A total of 38 patients were in intensive care. Twenty-one of them were critical. There had been seven deaths. \"We are handling the largest number of Covid-19 patients in India,\" Vinod Bhandari, a surgeon and chairman of the hospital, told me. Doctors now believe that the infection was spreading in the community long before the government admitted to it, and testing slowly ramped up. Until two weeks ago, Indian health authorities had been denying community transmission. Now a new study by Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) using surveillance data from 41 labs in the country has hinted at community transmission: 52 districts in 20 states and union territories reported Covid-19 patients. Some 40% of the cases did not report any history of international travel or contact with a known case. (The survey was based on swabs collected from nearly 6,000 patients between 15 February and 19 March. Of them 104 tested positive for Covid-19) Back in the hospital in Indore, the doctors are battling the surge in infections. Three isolation wards spread over two floors floors are stacked with patients. (The hospital has earmarked 525 beds for Covid-19 patients.) Isolation wards have younger patients with mild infection, while elderly patients with more severe symptoms are in intensive care. The oldest patient is a 95-year-old man, and the youngest is a four-month-old boy. The team of doctors handling patients includes chest specialists, anaesthetists, microbiologists, and dermatologists. There are patients with a lot of underlying medical conditions - diabetes, hypertension, even cancer - so all the specialists have been called in to help with the treatment. Dr Dosi wakes up early, puts on protective gear - scrubs, face masks and shields, N95 masks, gowns, double gloves and shoe covers - before going on his rounds of the patients. Doctors say they are not facing a shortage of gear yet. They are using 22 ventilators to help the critical patients breathe, and also providing oxygen supplies to others using nasal cannulas (nose prongs). In the isolation wards, patients are given oral medication - antibiotics and hydroxychloroquine (commonly known as HCQ), an anti-malarial drug - and directed to maintain social distancing and wash their hands regularly. \"I have never seen a challenge and crisis like this in my career. I have heard stories about an outbreak of plague in Surat [in 1994]. But this seems to be much bigger. The biggest challenge is to keep hopes alive and be positive,\" says Dr Dosi. Keeping hopes up for patients in isolation can be taxing. Three tests, say doctors, are being done for the infection - if the first test comes out positive, the patient remains in isolation for two weeks, and is tested twice on two days after the quarantine period. If the last two tests come back negative, the patient is discharged. If not, the patient has to stay in isolation for another two weeks. \"It is a tough grind, mentally,\" says one doctor. For the last three weeks, Dr Dosi has been living in the hospital, away from his wife, two sons and parents. His father is a retired pathologist. They communicate via hurried video calls, between his frantic trips to the isolation wards and intensive care. I ask him when does he expect this to \"get over\", so that he can go home. \"In a couple of weeks,\" he says. \"The lockdown should have helped to slow down the infection.\" Dr Dosi is alluding to the strict 21-day lockdown India imposed on 24 March to halt the spread of the infection. Things are getting better, he says. \"I am getting 10 patients for admission in isolation wards, and two patients severe enough for intensive care every day now. Earlier this week, it was 50:50.\" It is possibly too early to hazard a guess about when admissions will slow down to single digits. As more people are tested, the number of patients can easily rise again. It's been unrelenting, Dr Dosi says. Early, on Friday, I sent him a text to find out what was going on. \"Please. Have an emergency in ICU,\" he replied.",

And several women the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire programme have spoken to say the same. \"I knew that there was no way I could have a child. There was no way that I would be able to afford it,\" says Sam, who shared with the programme details of her abortions, which some may find distressing. When she became pregnant, she says, she knew straightaway she would not have the baby. \"It was a relatively easy decision, I was really financially stretched... but I don't think I was prepared for the emotional toll. \"I felt like I could go back to work immediately and it'd be fine. But I ended up taking about a week off afterwards after. \"Immediately I felt really relieved [after the abortion]. But it's very stressful. I was still very teary.\" 'Many hide it' A YouGov poll of more than 1,600 people in Great Britain suggests public attitudes to abortion are becoming more relaxed. Currently in England, Wales and Scotland, abortions can be carried out within the first 24 weeks only of a pregnancy. But later abortions are allowed in certain instances. And these include if the mother's life is at risk or the child would be born with a severe disability. Of those surveyed: Sam was open about having an abortion, telling her friends on social media. She says the support helped get her through it. \"You don't realise all these women around you that have actually had it,\" she says. \"There was a lot of women who maybe couldn't be open about it for cultural reasons or religious reasons as well. And they hide it from everyone.\" Sam tried lots of different types of contraception but suffered with side effects, so instead she started tracking her cycle on an app. Seven months later, she had another abortion. \"I felt really stupid and really ashamed because I'd had one so recently and I didn't feel like I could be as open and honest about it,\" she says. \"I still didn't have a stable income, stable job, stable home, so I knew I still couldn't have this pregnancy. But I was less certain because I really didn't want to have two abortions in my life.\" This time Sam chose to have a medical abortion at home and took pills instead of having an operation. But days later, when she was at work, she was horrified when she found an embryo in her menstrual cup. \"I wasn't prepared. I felt it would be more like a heavy clot or uterus lining. And it's not. And I wasn't prepared for that. \"It is like a kidney-bean shape... it's really clear that that could eventually be a foetus. \"Seeing the embryo made me really feel like that was a pregnancy, that I could have had a child.\" Dr Calum Miller, who is anti-abortion, says doctors and nurses often hide behind \"euphemistic terminology\". \"People know it's a baby, whereas often it's described as 'products of conception' or 'pregnancy tissue',\" he says. \"Most people I speak to have no idea what it involves and are horrified to find out what our law actually says.\" But Dr Caroline Gazet says women are fully prepared and informed by medical professionals to help them decide. She says we must trust women and \"move away from this paternalistic society\" where two doctors must approve an abortion. \"Why are women having to justify having an abortion?\" she asks. \"It's part of women's healthcare.\" In Northern Ireland, abortion is illegal unless there is a serious risk to a woman's life or health. But last year a UN committee ruled last year that this violated women's human rights. And an Amnesty International poll suggested 65% of people in Northern Ireland wanted abortion to be legal. Independent MP Heidi Allen told the Victoria Derbyshire programme its legislation \"sticks out a sore thumb\". The Northern Ireland Assembly collapsed more than two years ago and the UK government has said it is not right for it to intervene.

The collision happened in the air over the Inca Hospital at about 13:36 (12:36 GMT) on Sunday, local newspaper Diario De Mallorca reports. Visibility was good at the time, and the cause is not clear. Both aircraft caught fire in the collision, reports say. The microlight is a type of small aircraft with a maximum of two seats. Photos made available from the local fire service showed wreckage from the aircraft in the town. The tail section of one landed on a road, while another photo showed twisted and blackened metal on fire in a garden. The helicopter involved was a Bell 206 L3 LongRanger, part of a fleet operated by Rotorflug, which provides sightseeing flights for tourists.

            "input": "You can't open a newspaper at this time of year without reading a story about moderate alcohol consumption being good or bad for you, or making no difference at all. And now there are new government guidelines which reduce what were previously regarded as \"safe\" levels. The new guidelines recommend, whether you are a man or a woman, drinking no more than 14 units a week and say it is best to spread those units over the week rather than binge. But they also recommend \"several\" alcohol-free days a week. I am particularly interested in alcohol at the moment as I have just embarked on a Dry January ie trying to avoid all alcohol for a month. It started badly when I had a drink on New Year's Day (there were extenuating circumstances) but I have done well since then. The reason I'm doing Dry January is partly to see what effects it will have on my biochemistry (I've done a range of blood tests) but mainly because I want to see if I can do it. But what are the risks and benefits of alcohol? When I was at medical school I was taught that there is a U-shaped curve when it comes to drinking. Non-drinkers and people who drink more than 2-3 units a day were said to be at greater risk of heart disease (and therefore risk of premature death) than people who were moderate drinkers. As a moderate drinker I found this very encouraging. Unfortunately many researchers now dispute that claim. For the latest series of Trust Me I'm a Doctor I interviewed experts with competing views about the alleged benefits of alcohol. What is a unit? One measure of 40% spirit is one unit One 125ml glass of 12% wine is 1.5 units One pint of 5.2% lager is 3 units Source: NHS First up was Prof Tim Stockwell, director of the Centre for Addiction Research at the University of Victoria in Canada. He has advised several governments, including our own, on alcohol guidelines and thinks there are no biochemical benefits to drinking (though he concedes moderate drinking can be sociable, and beneficial in that way). \"There's 60 different ways at least that alcohol can make you unwell or kill you,\" he told me over a glass of water. \"It's not just the obvious things like liver disease. A man drinking three to four units a day increases his risk of developing prostate cancer by 23%. Alcohol, at whatever level, raises a woman's risk of breast cancer. There'd be 10% fewer deaths from breast cancer worldwide if there was no drinking.\" Find out more Trust Me I'm A Doctor is broadcast on BBC Two at 20:00 GMT on Wednesday 13 January 2016, or you can catch up afterwards on iPlayer. Stockwell thinks that the studies which suggest that moderate drinking is protective are flawed. He says the problem is that people who don't drink at all tend to include former alcoholics and people who are in poor health, and that skews the apparent benefits of moderate drinking. He concedes that having a couple of drinks twice a week is unlikely to do much harm, but recommends \"abstinent days, abstinent months, and if you actually don't miss the stuff, abstinent years.\" The other expert I interviewed, Dr Alexander Jones, a consultant cardiologist and clinical scientist at University College London, agrees that alcohol raises your risk of a wide range of cancers but believes there is decent evidence that alcohol can be beneficial for the heart, at least in relatively low doses. \"Heavy drinkers,\" he told me, \"have a much higher risk of developing heart disease than non-drinkers, but there are large prospective studies involving thousands of people in different parts of the world which show that if you drink modest amounts of alcohol, up to say two units of alcohol a day, then you are less likely to develop coronary heart disease or stroke later on in life.\" More from BBC iWonder \"There have been a couple of smallish studies,\" he added, \"which showed that if people were randomised to either eating a Mediterranean diet, or eating a Mediterranean diet and drinking a small glass of red wine, those who drank the wine had better cardiac function over time.\" He thinks it may be because alcohol promotes the production of nitric oxide, a compound that makes the arteries in the body dilate. This would reduce stress on the heart and improves its oxygen supply. But today's government report downplays the potential benefits of alcohol, stating that \"the net protective effect that may be attributable to drinking regularly at low levels appears to be significant only for women aged 55+ (with men aged over 55+ showing a protective effect of negligible size)\". Quite apart from the continuing debate about the benefits or otherwise of alcohol, part of the problem with alcohol guidelines is that most of us have no real idea exactly what an alcohol unit is. A pint of strong lager can contain twice the alcohol units of a normal lager. Wine comes in different strengths. Certainly compared with some of the other health messages like \"don't smoke\", or \"eat five a day', following the new guidelines is not going to be easy for people when they are going out to a bar or the pub. The advantage of Dry January, however, is that for me this is not going to be a problem for the next three weeks. A glass of fizzy water is both alcohol and calorie-free.

            "input": "In a Montreal court, Chiheb Esseghaier, 30, said the case against him was based only on \"appearances\". A lawyer for Raed Jaser, 35, said he would \"defend himself vigorously\", outside his hearing in Toronto. Officials said the alleged plot had support from al-Qaeda in Iran, although there was no sign of state sponsorship. Canadian authorities said the two suspects were arrested in Montreal and Toronto on Monday. Mr Jaser is understood to be a United Arab Emirates national of Palestinian origin, though his lawyer points out he is a permanent Canadian resident who has lived there 20 years. Mr Esseghaier is thought to be of Tunisian origin. 'Imam's tip-off' The charges against the pair include conspiring to interfere with transport facilities on behalf of a terrorist organisation and conspiring to commit murder. Neither suspect entered a plea in Tuesday's hearings. But Mr Esseghaier said the charges against him were unfair. \"The conclusions were made based on acts and words which are only appearances,\" he said in French after receiving permission to speak. He declined representation by a court-appointed lawyer. Family members of Mr Jaser attended his hearing, where the court banned the publication of evidence and testimony in the case. His father, Mohammed Jaser, told reporters outside court: \"I don't know nothing. Let the police do their job.\" The accused face charges of conspiracy to carry out an attack and kill people in association with a terrorist group. Mr Jaser's lawyer Mr Norris questioned the timing of the arrests, which came as the Canadian parliament debates an anti-terrorism bill that would reintroduce \"preventative detention\" and investigative hearings. \"I don't know what their purposes were but their timing was notable to say the least,\" Mr Norris was quoted by the Globe and Mail newspaper as saying. Mr Esseghaier was studying for a doctorate at National Institute for Scientific Research near Montreal, while Mr Jaser reportedly worked as a customer service agent at a removal firm. Canadian media have reported the investigation was launched after a tip-off by a concerned imam in the Toronto Muslim community. The imam was worried that young people in the city were being corrupted by an extremist. Authorities say the two accused had planned to derail a passenger train in the Greater Toronto area. The alleged attack was \"definitely in the planning stage but not imminent\", Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) Chief Superintendent Jennifer Strachan said on Monday. The Globe and Mail newspaper reported a Toronto-New York City train was to be the target. But VIA Rail, which operates passenger rail services across Canada and carries nearly four million passengers annually, said the public was never in danger. The RCMP said the investigation was a collaborative effort with FBI agents from the US. Iran has denied any links with the two suspects. 'Hilarious' Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi said it was \"ridiculous\" to suggest any connection between al-Qaeda and Tehran. \"This is the most hilarious thing I've heard in my 64 years,\" Mr Salehi told the Iranian Isna news agency. Al-Qaeda - a militant Salafist Islamic movement - preaches a radical anti-Shia ideology that is seen as placing it firmly at odds with Shia Iran. A US justice department official said there was no connection between the alleged Canada plot and last week's Boston Marathon bombings. Analysts say Iran's links with al-Qaeda are shadowy and complex. Some of the group's senior figures - including Osama Bin Laden's son, Saad Bin Laden, and former security chief Saif al-Adel - are said to have fled to Iran after the US-led invasion of Afghanistan in 2001. They were allegedly held under house arrest by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard, although Tehran never acknowledged their presence. According to the US, Saif al-Adel's father-in-law, Mustafa Hamid, is the link between al-Qaeda and the Iranian government. After the fall of the Taliban, he is said to have negotiated the safe relocation of several senior al-Qaeda members and their families to Iran. In mid-2003, he was arrested by the Iranian authorities.",

            "input": "By Gerry HaddenPRI's The World Before the infamous Spanish Inquisition of the 15th Century, some 300,000 Jews lived in Spain. It was one of the largest communities of Jews in the world. Today, there are about 40,000 or 50,000 - but that number could be about to swell dramatically. In November, Spain's justice minister Alberto Ruiz-Gallardon announced a plan to give descendants of Spain's original Jewish community - known as Sephardic Jews - a fast-track to a Spanish passport and Spanish citizenship. \"In the long journey Spain has undertaken to rediscover a part of itself, few occasions are as moving as today,\" he said. Anyone who could prove their Spanish Jewish origins, he said, would be given Spanish nationality. The news spread like wildfire among Sephardic Jews around the world. According to the Spanish Federation of Jewish Communities, which processes the applications, there were about 6,000 enquiries in the first month alone - including one from an unnamed member of the US Congress. \"My initial reaction was that this was a really thrilling moment - that it was an act of justice,\" says Doreen Carvajal, a US citizen and reporter with the New York Times in Paris. \"It was a romantic notion on my part. I told my husband, 'I think I'm going to try and get the passport because it closes a circle'. It was very poetic.\" Carvajal was brought up Catholic, but a few years ago, she discovered she has Sephardic Jewish roots. She began to investigate, eventually tracing her family tree back to the 15th Century and the city of Segovia, north of Madrid. She has countless documents, and has detailed her story in a book, The Forgetting River: A modern tale of survival, identity and the Inquisition. But Carvajal says that when she contacted the Spanish Federation of Jewish Communities, she learned that she didn't qualify. Not yet, anyway. Carvajal's family was among the estimated one-third of Spanish Jews who converted to Catholicism to escape the Inquisition's clutches. They were known as the \"conversos\". So, Carvajal is technically the descendant of converts. She's not a practising Jew herself. She was told she would have to convert back to Judaism before she could get Spanish citizenship. \"It felt like another act of being forced. Here are these people, the descendants of the forced ones, the conversos, being told you have to do this, you have to be a certain religion. So what happens if you're a secular Jew?\" The fast-track procedure has not yet taken effect - and Carvajal may well be entitled to citizenship when the rules are finalised. The secretary general of the Spanish Federation of Jewish Communities, Mauricio Toledano, told the BBC that the government is still working on details of the scheme, and when the new law is presented to parliament, it's expected to specifically state that all descendants of Sephardic origin - whether they are Jewish or not - be given citizenship. In total, about 100,000 Jews fled Spain in the course of the 15th Century. Some went to North Africa, but most settled in the economic powerhouse of the day, the Ottoman Empire - which then stretched from Hungary to Turkey, and beyond that to the south, and was expanding. About 90% of Jews in modern-day Turkey are Sephardic Jews. Roni Rodrigue, 55, a car dealer in Istanbul, has already claimed his Spanish passport. \"I just thought I have a right to apply for citizenship, so why not.\" He did this four years ago, under a pre-existing scheme, and got his papers in 11 months - though some of his friends have been waiting years. Rodrigue has no plans to move to Spain, and has only been there twice, but says he still feels a connection. He's a speaker of a dying language, Ladino. It's specific to Sephardic Jews and based on old Spanish, with words borrowed from Hebrew and the many countries in which they have settled since. Rodrigue's parents spoke Ladino to each other but it has not been passed on to his children, or to most of the new generation of Sephardic Jews around the world. It's not uncommon, though, for Sephardic Jews to feel the pull of Spain. \"I'm still Spanish in my soul and in my heart,\" says one British Sephardic Jew, who asked not to be named. He's building a house in Spain, has bought land, and even a plot in which to be buried. Like Carvajal, he's been left disappointed by the existing rules for acquiring citizenship, and stands to benefit from the new system. He successfully went through the process to gain Spanish citizenship some time ago, but says he withdrew his application at the very end, when he discovered he would have to give up his British passport to complete the process - something he was not prepared to do. The proposed new law, if passed, is expected to allow all new citizens of Sephardic origin to keep their existing passports. It is well known that when Spain expelled the Jews in 1492 it had a disastrous effect on the economy - many were wealthy textile traders, jewellers and bankers. \"At the time of the Ottoman Empire, the Sultan was said to have commented that he couldn't understand why a great Spanish king like Ferdinand would go without the Jews - who were such a source of wealth - and just give them to him,\" says Maria Josep Estanyol, a historian at the University of Barcelona. \"The Sultan was very pleased to receive these Jewish families, who went on to enrich his empire.\" For decades, there has been a movement to allow Sephardic Jews to return, but it is unclear why the Spanish government has chosen to bring up the issue again now. In theory, enticing them back now could give a boost to Spain's shrinking economy, although Estanyol doubts very many will re-establish roots in Spain. \"Given how disastrous things are here today, I'd advise against it,\" she says. It has also been suggested that Spain made the offer to mollify Israel, after Madrid supported last year's successful Palestinian bid for a seat at the United Nations. Whatever the motivation, some Muslim scholars are denouncing the offer as unfair. They point out that their ancestors were expelled from Spain during the Inquisition. But no-one is inviting them back.

Voluntary bans are currently in place in some school and hospital grounds and also in public playgrounds. If the new law is passed, it will mean patients and visitors will have to leave hospital grounds to smoke. The consultation, which will help shape the final legislation, is also seeking views on plans to introduce additional changes to the existing smoking ban, which did not include hospital grounds or playgrounds. These include: The changes will be introduced under the Public Health (Wales) Act 2017, which was passed by Assembly Members last year. Mr Gething launched the consultation at Glan Clwyd Hospital in Denbighshire. The hospital has received complaints about people ignoring the current voluntary ban in place, so mothers visiting the maternity unit have to bring babies in and out past people who are smoking. The ban is part of moves to change the culture around smoking, by making it seen as unacceptable where children might be influenced or in places where good health is being promoted. Mr Gething said: \"We have seen significant changes to the attitudes to smoking since 2007. \"Back then we received some resistance to change, but we have seen a remarkable culture change and I am pleased our plan to extend smoke-free areas to outdoor public spaces has received overwhelming public support.\" \"This is another step in the right direction to de-normalise smoking in Wales.\" Around 18% of people in Wales are smokers, while around 11,720 will quit this year, it is estimated. But it could be 2025 at the current rate before a Welsh Government target of reducing smoking prevalence reaches 16%. Public health experts believe smoking still accounts for more than 5,000 deaths in Wales each year, around one in every six of all deaths in people aged 35 and over. Lyndsey Watson, communications officer for the British Lung Foundation in Wales said taking her 20-month-old son Thomas near to areas where people are smoking was a concern. \"I have an asthma cough, so pollution is high on my radar,\" she said. \"I really want the best start in life for Thomas, so I am really happy with this announcement.\" But Simon Clark of smokers' group Forest said: \"Smoking outside poses no threat to public health, nor is there evidence that children start smoking because they witness complete strangers lighting up in public.\" He also said threatening hospital patients, visitors and staff with fines was \"despicable\" when some of them may be at their most vulnerable.",

Ambulance staff discovered the bodies in the unit just over an hour later at Waterglade Industrial Park in Grays. The lorry driver, named locally as Mo Robinson, 25, from Portadown, County Armagh, Northern Ireland, is being questioned by police. Deputy Chief Constable of Essex Police Pippa Mills said the vehicle had been moved to a secure site at Tilbury Docks so the bodies of the 38 adults and one teenager could be \"recovered while preserving the dignity of the victims\". She said identifying the deceased remained a \"priority\" but was expected to be a \"lengthy process\". Meanwhile, officers from the Police Service of Northern Ireland have carried out raids on two houses associated with the arrested man - one in Markethill, County Armagh, and another in nearby Laurelvale. Police said the tractor unit (the front part of the lorry) came from Northern Ireland and picked up the trailer from Purfleet. The tractor and trailer then left the port shortly after 01:05 and officers were called around 30 minutes later when ambulance staff made the grim discovery. Police have appealed for witnesses and anyone with information about the lorry's route to contact them. The National Crime Agency said it had sent officers to assist and identify any \"organised crime groups who may have played a part\". A spokesman for the Bulgarian foreign affairs ministry said the truck was registered in the country under the name of a company owned by an Irish citizen. He said it was \"highly unlikely\" the deceased were Bulgarians. At the scene By Ed Thomas, special correspondent, BBC News, Grays Police officers bowed their heads in silence as the lorry was slowly moved from the industrial estate with all 39 people still inside the container. I've seen senior detectives visibly upset at what they've witnessed here. Detectives said their priority now was providing all the victims with dignity and respect as they try to identify them and inform their loved ones. Prime Minister Boris Johnson said it was an \"unimaginable tragedy and truly heartbreaking\". Speaking at Prime Minister's Questions, he said: \"I know that the thoughts and prayers of all members will be with those who lost their lives and their loved ones. \"I'm receiving regular updates. The Home Office will work closely with Essex Police as we establish exactly what has happened.\" During Thurrock Council's full council meeting, councillor James Halden said the authority would put in place any support enforcement agencies needed. The Conservative councillor urged people not to speculate about what may have happened and said there was a book of condolences for members of the public to sign in the civic offices. Tricky task of catching the people smugglers Since the Calais migrant camps were shut three years ago and security measures were increased at Dover and the Channel Tunnel, people smugglers have increasingly moved to other routes. Asked which ports are being used, the National Crime Agency told me: \"All of them.\" More dangerous methods are being used to get human cargo through. The most common one is being hidden in the back of a lorry, but increasingly commercial shipping containers are being used, sometimes even refrigerated ones of the type seen on the back of the truck in Essex. Risks are substantial for the migrants, who can pay £10,000 or more for a space on these vehicles. Read more: Tricky task of catching the people smugglers How many migrants have died in transit? The number of migrants who die in transit has been recorded by the UN since 2014. Since then, five bodies of suspected migrants have been found in lorries or containers in the UK: Data was not collected in the same way before the migrant crisis began in 2014, but such deaths are not new. In 2000, 58 Chinese migrants were found suffocated to death in a lorry at Dover. In 2015, the bodies of 71 people were found in an abandoned lorry on an Austrian motorway. Police suspected the vehicle was part of a Bulgarian-Hungarian human trafficking operation. Essex Police has set up a casualty bureau for anyone concerned about relatives to call. The British Red Cross has confirmed staff and volunteers were helping \"those dealing with this terrible tragedy\". Are you in the area?

They had suffered serious injuries, and a garden hoe believed to have been used in the attack was found nearby. The UK Foreign Office said staff from Bangkok were travelling to Koh Tao. 'Boats blocked' The bodies were found close to the beach-side bungalows where the pair had been staying. Police said they wanted to speak to a man, possibly a friend of the victims, who is thought to have left the island on Monday morning. They are also questioning tourists, and hotel and bar owners. Boats were earlier blocked from leaving the island. They said they had yet to identify a motive or suspect in the killing of the tourists, who had arrived in Thailand last month. Officers have been reviewing closed circuit TV footage from nearby restaurants, hotels and shops. There was a beach party on Sunday night about 100 metres from where the bodies were found, according to local media. Reports suggest that Ms Witheridge, who was originally from Great Yarmouth, and Mr Miller had met recently on the island. Koh Tao The Foreign Office said in a statement: \"We are aware of the death of two British nationals on 15 September on the island of Koh Tao in the Gulf of Thailand. \"The embassy are urgently seeking information from the local authorities and consular staff stand ready to provide assistance to friends and family at this tragic time.\" Tourist destination A spokeswoman for the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) in London said the incident was \"out of character\" for an island that was \"much loved for its quaint atmosphere\". \"We understand this is an isolated incident,\" she said. \"We have limited details on the circumstances at this time and are waiting for further information following the initial stages of the police investigation. Our thoughts and condolences are with the families and friends affected by the news.\" BBC south-east Asia correspondent Jonathan Head said the authorities were likely to move quickly to investigate the deaths to maintain confidence in a tourist industry which accounts for around a 10th of Thailand's GDP, and which has been hit hard by recent political turmoil. Thailand attracts more than 850,000 British and Irish tourists each year. Some 11 British nationals have been murdered in the country since 2009, according to the Foreign Office. Official FCO advice warns that Western tourists have been victims of \"vicious, unprovoked attacks by gangs\" on the nearby island of Koh Phangan but there are no specific warnings for Koh Tao, which is a popular tourist destination. TAT said Koh Tao and other beach destinations in Thailand remained safe for tourists.",

Work is under way to turn it into a memorial and education centre covering civilian life in the city during the war. Councillor Darren Hale said the site was \"incredibly important to Hull\". The cinema opened in 1914 and was bombed during a raid on 18 March 1941 while showing Charlie Chaplin's anti-Hitler comedy The Great Dictator. All 150 people who were watching the film all escaped without serious injury. The building is a very rare example of a blitzed ruin, and the city council claims it is the only example of its kind in the country. Hull suffered its first daylight bombing raid in June 1940 and its last attack was in March 1945. Most attacks on the city took place during 1940 and 1941 and 1,200 people were killed in the city. The council hopes to turn it into a place of remembrance to the people who endured the city's blitz and to recruit about 50 Volunteers in all. Duties would include marketing, planning, historical research, conservation work and staffing the site once it was restored and open, it added. The council and the National Civilian World War II Memorial Trust are developing a second stage lottery application for November with a result expected in 2021, it said.

These are not assets which Eni has been operating, but in which it has a stake. Two of the five packages of offshore assets have been completed. Until the other parts of the deal are completed in the next few months, the companies are not putting a value on it. Drilling licences At present, only some of the assets are producing oil and gas. However, when the Mariner and Culzean fields start pumping, that should sharply increase the Tokyo-based refinery and retailing firm's presence in British waters. The company will have a 29% stake in Mariner, south-east of Shetland, which is one of the UK's largest undeveloped oil fields, reckoned to hold up to 500m barrels of recoverable oil. Seventeen producing fields included in the Eni deal include the Andrew, Magnus, Kinnoull, ETAP, Merganser and the Flotta Catchment Area, including the Claymore field. JX Nippon was also successful in the most recent round of drilling licences allocated by the UK government for west of Shetland. 'Considerable expertise' Shigeo Hirai, president of JX Nippon Oil and Gas Exploration, said: \"This is an important contribution to JX's upstream goal of global production of 200,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day by 2020. \"The acquisition of theses assets gives JX substantial long-term oil and gas production in the UK, where JX has built up considerable expertise over the past 20 years.\" Malcolm Webb of Oil and Gas UK, the industry body, said the JX Nippon decision demonstrates that tax incentives negotiated with the Treasury are making UK waters a more attractive region for investment. In recent weeks, other major asset sales by BP have seen investment by Taqa, owned in Abu Dhabi, and by Perth-based SSE, which bought a stake in the Sean gas field.",

Highways England said 98% of roadworks on motorways and major A-roads had been lifted or completed by 06:00 GMT on Friday. Rail passengers have been advised to plan ahead due to engineering works and strikes. Friday is expected to be the busiest day for people going abroad for Christmas, according to the Association of British Travel Agents (Abta). It said the Canary Islands, Cape Verde, Morocco, Turkey and Egypt were popular short-haul destinations while the long-haul market had seen high demand for Dubai and Goa. Abta chief executive Mark Tanzer said people should leave extra time to get to airports because the roads would be busy. 12:00 - 19:00Friday 10:00 - 15:00Saturday 10:00 - 16:00Sunday 10:00 - 15:00Monday 14:00 - 18:00Tuesday The RAC and traffic data company Inrix estimated about 4.7 million \"leisure\" journeys would be made by car on Friday and warned of delays as Christmas traffic mixes with commuters. Ben Aldous from the RAC said: \"While Christmas Day is still a little way off, it looks as though millions of drivers are planning to complete their getaway trips this week. \"Unfortunately, when you add in the prospect of unsettled weather, with heavy rain and strong winds in some parts, these are likely to be pretty unpleasant drives for many of us.\" Inrix has also predicted places likely to have some of the longest delays, based on analysis of traffic flows during previous Christmas getaways, as well as things like planned roadworks and events. Where will traffic be worst? The M1 between Bedfordshire and Northamptonshire is expected to be heavily congested on Saturday and Sunday, along with the northern and western sections of the M25 around London. Delays of up to an hour are also possible from Friday morning on the M6 between Birmingham and Wolverhampton, Inrix warned. The AA said it expected traffic to reach a peak on Friday after 16:00, with the M5 between Bristol and Weston-Super-Mare likely to see hold-ups. Where are the roadworks? Highways England said it would remove 98% of its roadworks by Friday morning, freeing up more than 800 miles of motorways and major roads, but that the rest would have to stay in place for safety reasons. The longest stretch of roadworks to remain in place is 43 miles on the M4 between junction six, near Slough, and junction 12 near Reading. The work is part of the £848 million smart motorways project to open the hard shoulder to traffic. Other smart motorway roadworks staying in place include 20 miles of the M62 near Manchester and 19 miles of the M6 near Stafford. There is more information on the Highways England website and also at Traffic Scotland, Traffic Wales and Trafficwatch Northern Ireland. Will my train run? No trains run on Christmas Day, 25 December, and it is normal for only a few to run on 26 December. Network Rail is working on 386 engineering projects between Friday and 2 January. Most lines will remain open as normal but London Paddington station will be closed from Tuesday, Christmas Eve, until Friday 27 December, with no trains running. Changes to services include: What about strike action? Services on South Western Railway (SWR) are affected by strike action until Thursday 2 January. The operator is running a reduced timetable, warning peak services are likely to be busier than normal and replacement buses on some routes. A spokesman for SWR said an alternative timetable would be in place for the week starting 23 December. The strikes may mean Great Western Railway services are busier than normal as SWR passengers use them as an alternative. The dispute between SWR and the RMT union is over the role of guards on trains. Planned strike action on West Midlands Trains on Saturdays in December was called off.",

European Council President Donald Tusk is expected to inform Canada late on Monday whether the Ceta signing can go ahead on Thursday. Belgium needs Walloon support to sign Ceta, which the rest of the EU backs. The Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (Ceta) is the EU's most ambitious free trade deal to date. It would remove nearly all tariffs in trade between the EU market of 508 million people and the world's 10th biggest economy. A signing ceremony has long been planned for Thursday in Brussels, with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau flying in for it. But Wallonia's objections have put those plans on hold. Canadian Trade Minister Chrystia Freeland was bitterly disappointed on Friday when talks broke down and she flew home. Wallonia, a staunchly socialist region of 3.6m people, wants stronger safeguards on labour, environmental and consumer standards. Its fears echo those of anti-globalisation activists, who say Ceta and deals like it give too much power to multinationals - power even to intimidate governments. There have also been big demonstrations in several EU countries against Ceta and the TTIP trade talks between the EU and the US. The European Commission negotiated the massive Ceta text agreed with Canada in 2014, and on Sunday it presented a new clarification to Wallonia on the proposed procedure for settling disputes with investors. The rules for trade arbitration are one of the thorniest issues in the deal. Belgium's RTBF news reported (in French) that the latest EU document did not satisfy the Walloon politicians. What is Ceta? Canada and the EU would eliminate 98% of tariffs under Ceta, which was negotiated over five years between 2009 and 2014. Supporters say this would increase trade between them by 20%, and would especially help small businesses. Critics say the deal threatens product standards and protects big business, allowing corporations to sue governments. European Parliament briefing on Ceta Is Ceta a good model for Brexit?",

            "input": "By Aakriti ThaparBBC News But perhaps the most unusual bit of this particular story is the friendship which led to Ratan Tata's emergence as India's newest social media star. Indeed, without the help of Shantanu Naidu, the 27-year-old who introduced him to the social media platform and taught him about hashtags and trends, the world would not have discovered their latest \"man crush\". Mr Naidu hopes that the mix of old family pictures, snapshots of dogs and photographs of the mogul's younger days - including one from five decades earlier which garnered more than half a million hits - will give people a glimpse of the man behind the tycoon. The man who led the salt-to-software conglomerate Tata Group for 21 years, who he now classes among his closest friends. These days, the two of them do everything together - from getting haircuts to watching films. Their \"intergenerational friendship\" may be quite unusual, but, Mr Naidu says, it is also pretty special. \"He's been a hard boss, a core mentor as well as an understanding friend,\" he told the BBC. So how did this doe-eyed, curly-haired millennial become business assistant and best friends to one of India's most internationally-recognised business leaders? Mr Naidu is, in fact, a fifth generation Tata employee. However, although his family has a strong connection to the Tata brand, he never thought he would end up working so closely with the man responsible for so much of it. It was a mutual love of dogs which brought the two together while the younger man was working for one of Mr Tata's companies in the city of Pune, west India. At the time, Mr Naidu was also running a social initiative called Motopaws, which makes glow-in-the-dark collars for stray dogs. His work was highlighted in the company newsletter, prompting Mr Tata to write him a letter inviting him to Mumbai. \"Shantanu and I first met because of our common concern and affection for stray dogs,\" Mr Tata explained in an email to the BBC. \"He has led a team of young college students to 'adopt' these dogs and give them affection, food, find homes for them and give them a sense of belonging.\" The meeting would prove to be the first of many. \"While Motopaws was scaling up, we became closer. Work emails slowly turned into asking questions about one another,\" Mr Naidu said. But soon after their friendship took off, Mr Naidu had to leave India for university in the US. \"I was really sad because it felt like I had just discovered a friend in Mr Tata,\" he said. But the connection between the two strengthened. Mr Naidu ended up at Mr Tata's alma mater, Cornell University, and soon started work on the businessman's dream project, building a veterinary hospital in Mumbai. The construction for this hospital is set to begin later this year. Mr Tata even attended his graduation. \"I had mentioned it to him in passing and he said yes,\" Mr Naidu recalls. \"Cut to the actual day and there he was!\" On his return to India, Mr Naidu took up a job as as Mr Tata's business assistant. \"Everything for me changed in a single minute. I had never imagined my life would pan out this way,\" he said. Mr Tata told the BBC: \"I enjoy seeing Shantanu's freshness and concern. We never see enough of this in the 'dog eat dog' world we live in.'\" So, what does a typical day look like as business assistant to Mr Tata? \"At meetings, I take copious notes and keep records for future discussions. As Mr Tata walks in, I'm there to brief him on the happenings of the day. He gives me his plan and we start attacking it one by one. He's a very focused worker - non-stop, no breaks,\" Mr Naidu explained. The Tata Group patriarch is known to have invested in more than 73 Indian start-ups, including ride-hailing service, Ola. Mr Tata now uses the Instagram profile Mr Naidu helped set up to connect with the youth and has also shared \"a recipe\" for successful start-up pitches. The 82-year-old has also used it to share the aforementioned picture of him in his 20s - using the popular hashtag Throwback Thursday - to set the internet alight. But it isn't just business. The two remain fast friends. He added that they both like action comedy films such as The Other Guys and The Lone Ranger. A series about experiences in the Israel Defence Force called Fauda is Mr Tata's favourite Netflix binge, Mr Naidu said. Last year during a radio interview with the BBC, I met Mr Tata and Mr Naidu. It was easy to sense a warm bond between the two - there seemed to be a great degree of camaraderie and mutual respect. Mr Tata spoke about his retirement plans and love for dogs. Nowadays, Mr Naidu continues to also work on the project that brought Mr Tata and him together in the first place. Motopaws has expanded over the years and it now operating in four countries. But it isn't just the non-profit that's evolving. \"If something were to bother me or make me happy, he would be the first person I would call. The foundation is there, but it's like a constantly blossoming tree. Mr Tata has always been there for me and I try to do the same for him,\" Mr Naidu said with a smile.

AP news agency quotes border officials as saying she had not had food or water for several days. Thousands of migrants have travelled from Central America to the US border. The migrants say they are fleeing persecution, poverty and violence in their home countries of Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador. Many of them say their goal is to settle in the US despite warnings by US officials that anyone found entering the country illegally will face arrest, prosecution and deportation. What do the US authorities say? The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said the girl was \"apprehended with her father for illegal entry with a group of 163 illegal aliens\" on Thursday of last week. The US Border Patrol confirmed the girl started experiencing fever and seizures while in its custody. She was flown to hospital in El Paso where she suffered cardiac arrest and died. DHS head Kirstjen Nielsen told Fox News: \"It's heart-wrenching. This is a very sad example of the dangers of this journey. This family chose to cross illegally.\" A department statement earlier said: \"Our sincerest condolences go out to the family of the child. \"Border Patrol agents took every possible step to save the child's life under the most trying of circumstances. As fathers and mothers, brothers and sisters, we empathise with the loss of any child.\" Former secretary of state Hillary Clinton tweeted that the incident reflected a \"humanitarian crisis\" on the border: Why is there tension on the border? It's been running high since the arrival of almost 7,500 migrants in recent weeks. Last month, US border agents used tear gas on a crowd of migrants, including children, trying to cross the border. The agents said that personnel had been assaulted and hit by stones. However, critics accused the Trump administration of a draconian response, while Mexico demanded an investigation into the incident. The migrants have travelled in large groups, dubbed \"caravans\", for more than 4,000km (2,500 miles) from Central America. Among them are many families with young children. Donald Trump has vowed to keep each migrant on the Mexican side of the border until courts have decided their cases, meaning some face a long wait.

Mr Baker told the BBC he found Mr Payne on his bedroom floor between his bed and the wall. \"I tried to feel a pulse but I couldn't get anywhere near his neck, that's how bad he was jammed in there,\" he said. 'Bit of a curmudgeon' Mr Baker said there was an antique pistol on the bed but he thought it was too old to have been fired. \"I could see there was something seriously wrong so I called an ambulance,\" he added. Mr Payne had worked on a farm after leaving school, before doing National Service in the Army, and later did building work, according to Mr Baker. Outside of work Mr Payne was a big Exeter City fan who enjoyed maintaining his allotment and looking after his cats, particularly one called Boxer, who was the \"apple of his eye\", Mr Baker said. He added: \"He was a decent, ordinary 80-year-old bloke and I say it with affection but he was a bit of a curmudgeon.\" A friend of one of the twin brothers who were murdered said he \"wouldn't have done anything to harm anybody\". Martyn Liddon, who runs Exeter-based charity Men in Sheds, said he became friends with Dick Carter when talking to him on the bus. He said the brothers were both recluses and he could not understand what had happened. \"When I heard about it I had tears in my eyes,\" he added. \"I was totally gutted because they wouldn't have done anything to harm anybody.\" Police were first called to Bonhay Road at 15:00 on Monday where Mr Payne's body was found. Officers then found the Carter brothers dead about 1.5 miles (2.4km) away at 13:00 on Tuesday. The levels of violence involved in the deaths led detectives to link the deaths. On Wednesday, Det Ch Insp Roy Linden said \"significant police resources\" had been committed to the investigation and officers were managing more than 155 \"priority lines of inquiry\" and had seized nearly 300 exhibits. He said there was \"no clear motive\" and \"no clear relationship\" between the parties involved.",

The local transport, police and industry bodies are said to have seized equipment including mobile phones. Guangzhou considers car-hire services that involve private drivers illegal. \"Law enforcement departments have come down hard on such illegal businesses as they disrupt the market and we will not be soft on these activities in the future,\" the Guangzhou Transport Commission said in a recent statement. Uber first launched in China last year and its service is now available in the capital, Beijing, as well as the cities of Hangzhou, Guangzhou and Shenzhen. According to reports, Uber's offices in the southern Chinese city of Shenzhen were also visited by authorities this week for a \"routine inspection\". In a statement, Uber said it \"prides itself on providing efficient and convenient transportation options for riders to get from point to point, helping cities reduce congestion pollution. \"We have maintained open channels of communications and are working closely with local authorities in co-operation.\" Analysis: John Sudworth, BBC Shanghai correspondent China's transport authorities, like those in many other countries, have been struggling to cope with the impact of mobile phone based taxi hailing apps, in particular the huge popularity of the so called ride-sharing service provided by unlicensed, private drivers. Popular, it seems, because they offer cleaner, more modern cars and, often, a higher level of customer service compared to traditional taxis. In recent months, some of these drivers, in a number of Chinese cities, have been stopped and fined up to $5,000. Uber's market share is dwarfed by that of the larger home-grown taxi app companies, Didi Dache and Kuaidi Dache, which recently merged. If the Guangzhou raid is a sign that the government is preparing to get tougher, then some observers will wonder if the smaller, foreign-owned target has been chosen for reasons of political convenience. Growth problems Uber has been expanding aggressively in recent years, but has run into problems in a number of countries, including South Korea and India. The San Francisco-based firm has seen its service banned in both Asian nations - as well as Germany and Sao Paulo in Brazil - because of safety concerns and industry opposition. In India, for example, Uber came under fire and was banned after a driver in Delhi allegedly raped a female passenger. The fast-growing start up, which was founding in 2009, is estimated to be worth $40bn following its most recent fundraising round. Uber operates in more than 250 cities in 57 countries, according to its website.",

            "input": "By Tara McKelveyBBC News, Washington Trump's threat to attack Iran's cultural sites sparked outrage and his officials were quick to deny that option was on the table. Before that he authorised the killing of Iran's most revered general. According to international law, a government can carry out such a strike if they are acting in self-defence, and US officials said they were trying to prevent attacks. But Agnes Callamard, UN special rapporteur on extrajudicial killings, disagreed with their assessment. She tweeted that it seemed unlikely that the test for a legal strike, one that is laid out in the UN Charter, was met. Trump has also championed US military personnel accused of war crimes, calling one of them, Special Operations Chief Edward Gallagher, a \"tough guy\". Trump speaks about military personnel and operations in a way that blurs the line on legality. An attack on a cultural site violates international treaties such as the 1954 Hague Convention for the Protection of Cultural Property. But he defended his position on targeting cultural sites by saying that enemy commanders used illegal methods and Americans should do the same. \"They're allowed to torture and maim our people,\" he told reporters. \"And we're not allowed to touch their cultural sites? It doesn't work that way.\" With his dismissal of international law, he surprised even senior-level US officials. US Defence Secretary Mark Esper said: \"I am fully confident that the president, the commander in chief, will not give us an illegal order.\" It was another extraordinary moment in the Trump years, showcasing public disputes that he has with his own cabinet secretaries. Trump is not, however, the first president to shock people with his fiery rhetoric or by his use of aggressive military policies. Controversy over these policies has echoed for centuries, and public anger with the presidents themselves has been part of US history. Long before the 45th president took office, Republican and Democratic leaders were overseeing military and intelligence operations shrouded in secrecy that blurred the lines between lawful and not. Several of these presidents tussled with a law, the Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF), in their efforts to justify their policies. The AUMF was designed to allow the use of military force against individuals who helped carry out the 2001 attacks against the US. Since then, presidents have interpreted the law broadly and used it to provide legal justification for military operations in places around the world. Barack Obama expanded the use of secretive drone strikes, authorising more than 540 during his time in office. Human rights advocates said the airstrikes violated international and domestic law, but Mr Obama defended the legal basis for the airstrikes. His advisers argued that because the targeted individuals had been planning attacks against Americans, the airstrikes against them fell within the boundaries of international law. Over time, the criticism of Obama was muted. The president's use of the airstrikes, says Rutgers' David Greenberg, a presidential historian, was viewed as \"a path toward trying to limit the worst brutalities of war\". His predecessor, George W Bush, had signed off on only a fraction of airstrikes. Bush pushed boundaries of warfare in another way, however. He authorised the use of so-called enhanced interrogation methods, waterboarding and other tactics widely described as torture. In his case, the harsh policies came to define his time in office. Historian David Greenberg says Bush will be remembered for the Iraq war and the torture: \"He's paid a price.\" Before that, President Bill Clinton \"embraced\" extrajudicial renditions, the transporting of terrorism suspects to a country where prisoners are tortures, say legal scholars. Clinton and the other presidents attempted to provide legal justification for their policies. Decades earlier, Andrew Jackson, who served as president in the early 1800s, had done the same. He signed the Indian Removal Act, and through this law forced Native Americans off land. People said that their forced removal was \"barbaric\", says Greenberg, but there was at least a pretext of abiding by norms. President Trump does not feel the need to frame his policies in such a way, says the historian. \"You don't just willy-nilly bomb cultural sites, but he kind of revels in the flouting of norms.\" Part of his appeal is the way that he provokes those who hold more liberal notions of international law, he adds. Trump's supporters say that despite his rhetoric he has been more disciplined in his rollout of military policies than previous presidents. James Carafano, an analyst at the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think-tank in Washington, says Trump has been cautious in what he has actually done with the military - the most conservative and the most restrained. Some analysts say the real problem is that presidents are granted too much power, and they take things too far. \"They used their authority to carry out acts that we view as illegal, immoral, unethical - you pick the word,\" says Andrew Bacevich, the president of a foreign-policy think-tank, Quincy Institute. \"The problem is not Trump - but that we have invested the presidency with authority far in excess of what should be allowed.\" As Bacevich points out, presidents throughout the ages have pushed the boundaries of the law. The question now is - what's next?",

He told MPs on the House of Commons' Health Committee a tax would be the \"single most important\" change that could be made. He said it would be \"deeply symbolic\" as well as raising money. Ministers have indicated a tax will not be introduced, although Mr Oliver said he did not believe, from his discussions, that it had been \"written off\". It has been estimated a 20% sugar tax could raise up to a £1bn a year. Mr Oliver said he would like to see that shared between the NHS and primary schools. But he said the most important reason for introducing a tax was the message it sent out. Mr Oliver, who has introduced a levy on soft drinks with added sugar in his own restaurants, said: \"We should be big and bold. Who is running the country? The businesses who are profiting from ill health or is it us?\" The sugar problem Why is sugar so addictive? Michael Mosley on how much sugar is in food Can we trust industry? Mr Oliver said it was right to target fizzy drinks rather than other sources, such as chocolate bars, because people did not realise just how much sugar was in such drinks. The official advice is that no more than 5% of daily calories should come from sugar - the equivalent of about six or seven teaspoons of sugar for a normal weight adult. A typical can of fizzy drink contains about nine teaspoons. 'Naughty step' He went on to liken the introduction of a tax to disciplining children. \"When my kids are naughty, they go on the naughty step. That is what this tax is.\" Mr Oliver has started a petition calling for a tax to be introduced, which has nearly 150,000 signatories. But the government has responded by saying that it has no plans to introduce a tax. In a statement, the Department of Health said: \"The government has committed to a tax lock to avoid raising the cost of living and to promote UK productivity and economic growth. \"The causes of obesity are complex, caused by a number of dietary, lifestyle, environmental and genetic factors, and tackling it will require a comprehensive and broad approach. \"As such, the government is considering a range of options for tackling childhood obesity.\" The strategy is likely to be published in the new year. Earlier at the evidence session, Duncan Selbie, the head of Public Health England, defended his decision not to release a review of how sugar consumption could be reduced. PHE has carried out the review - looking at measures such as a sugar tax and discounted deals - for the government. But despite it being ready it has not been published - something the committee has already criticised. Mr Selbie said there was \"no conspiracy\" and the review would be published.",

            "input": "By Laurence CawleyBBC News \"India Eve Chipchase please let me know you're ok please darling... love you xxxcc.\" By the time Suzanne Chipchase posted this short message on Facebook, her daughter was already dead. When police broke down the door of a rented terraced home in Northampton, they found the clothed body of 20-year-old India lying on a mattress on the floor of the front bedroom. Her body was covered with a plastic sheet. Two glasses sat on a tray nearby. The bedside light had been left on. One of the officers who found her initially shook her, saying \"wake up wake up it's the police\". But India, who had been raped and throttled, was dead. Earlier that evening, India had been on a Friday night out with friends, drinking and laughing as well as getting angry about the state of an on-off relationship. At NB's nightclub in Northampton, she bought a round of Jagerbombs for her companions, who said she was dancing and \"having a good time\". But as the night wore on, her mood darkened. Friend Alice Lewis said India got upset and had \"a 30-second outburst\" about her romance with Grant Hare. \"She just told me they weren't speaking much anymore,\" said Ms Lewis. \"She was upset.\" Later, Harry Moylan and Ms Lewis noticed India had disappeared from the club. \"We thought she'd either gone home, or met up with other friends,\" Mr Moylan said. She hadn't met up with other friends, and she never made it home. In fact, India was outside. She told door staff she wanted \"to go home\", so one of the security team found her a taxi. The driver, Andrew Birkenshaw, saw India was the worse for drink and asked for the fare in advance. India certainly wasn't going to pay ahead of the journey, Mr Birkenshaw recounted. He said she \"got angry and threw a wobbly\" before leaving the cab. Instead, she went back towards the club and was refused re-entry as she was deemed to be too drunk. Was there a duty of care? If India Chipchase had been allowed back into NB's club, she might have rejoined her friends and still be alive today. The club acted within the law in refusing her re-entry. Its own website states it \"operates a zero tolerance towards binge drinking\", urges its clientele to consider their state of health before a night out and \"reserves the right to refuse entry at all times\". But it also advertises \"drinks starting at just £1\" and asks its punters whether they are \"brave enough to get DELIRIOUS with us?\" Asked by the BBC whether it might have done more for India or whether there was a double standard in its drinks promotion and binge drinking stance, the club has yet to respond. Rachel Griffin, of the Suzy Lamplugh Trust, while unable to comment on India's specific case, said: \"Nightclubs and bars, which profit from people going out and having a good time, have a duty of care to their customers. \"This should include having a policy of looking out for people who may have become separated from their friends or those whom others may seek to take advantage of if they appear vulnerable.\" It is increasingly common for taxis and minicabs to ask for up-front payments to protect drivers from dodged fares, although some places such as Birmingham banned the practice on the grounds it could put vulnerable people at greater risk. \"We have called for a long time for more standardised, national practice for taxis and private hire vehicles (minicabs) so that passengers know what to expect when they use them,\" Ms Griffin added. \"It has to be safer for passengers, who believe they are taking the safe option of getting a taxi or minicab home, to have the confidence that they won't be turned away if they can't pay in advance - or that they will be able to stop to get cash on the way home. \"Even better would be for passengers to be able to pay by card as standard.\" At about 01:00 GMT, India was spotted by Christopher Christon who was awaiting a ride home with his wife Jacqueline near the club. \"She seemed quite distressed,\" he said. \"I think she was trying to get through to someone (on her phone). It seemed like she was crying.\" An older man wearing a duffel jacket and a rucksack got \"all the way up\" to India, he said. \"He asked if she was OK,\" Mr Christon added. \"He put his arm around her and said, 'We'll make sure we'll get you home in a taxi, safely'.\" The time was 01:15 GMT. The man was Tenniswood, who was heard telling her to put her phone in her bag. Tenniswood claimed they had developed a \"bond\" outside the nightclub. He said he told her: \"Well I'm going to get a cab home and a drink at my place, you're very welcome to come if you want to.\" He claims she said \"yes\" and they got into a taxi together. The driver of that taxi - Azzizula Miagan - thought both Tenniswood and India seemed \"drunk\". Tenniswood did almost all the talking. Tenniswood - who claimed to be \"lucky enough to have had some extremely attractive girlfriends, some of whom are fashion models\" - didn't give his actual address, asking instead for them to be dropped off some distance away. India and Tenniswood were then seen walking down Stanley Road by Patrick Francis, who was smoking a cigarette in the street. \"The man started helping the woman across the road, he was leading her by the arm,\" he said. \"He opened the door and guided her in.\" Inside 6 Stanley Road Tenniswood was a \"meticulous\" loner, whose home revealed an obsession with cleanliness, laid bare for all to see in an estate agent's property pictures. His landlord had tried to sell 6 Stanley Road - Tenniswood's home since 2010. Photographs of the three-bedroom house revealed an interior covered in plastic sheets, food bowls covered with plates and newspaper on the floor. There was nowhere to sit down and socialise - all the usual accoutrements of interior living were covered up and pushed away. Even his computer was covered in plastic food wrap. \"It seems illogical to keep cleaning it to use it,\" Tenniswood would tell the trial jury. \"Instead you just replace the cling film, rather than the rigmarole of cleaning.\" Tenniswood - who claims to have obsessive compulsive disorder - was a compulsive hand washer, sometimes scrubbing them red raw. And he often wore latex gloves, which he bought by the 100 for £3.99 from Poundstretcher. The curtains were always drawn and there was only ever one light on in the house in an upstairs room. Tenniswood said he \"contained\" himself to living upstairs. When Grant Hare got home that night he charged up the flat battery on his phone. When it turned on, it revealed he had nine missed calls and two text messages from India. One read simply: \"Where are you?\" Mr Hare, giving evidence during the trial, said the couple were \"not quite boyfriend and girlfriend\" and that he was unaware of the suggestion they had romantic problems. Three of the missed calls were at 01:26, 01:27 and 01:28 - just minutes after India had been \"led, steered or escorted\" into Mr Miagan's cab by Tenniswood. When he realised he had missed her calls and messages, Mr Hare tried three times to reach her. All of the calls went to voicemail. Exactly what happened inside the house on Stanley Road might never be fully known, but forensic results provide at least sketch. There was a cigarette butt with India's DNA on it found in a cup in the kitchen. Her palm and fingerprints were discovered on doorways in and out of downstairs rooms. Post-mortem examination results found India had almost three times the alcohol drink-drive limit in her system which, a pathologist stated, would have caused \"disorientation\" and \"mental confusion\". Tenniswood claimed India went to his bathroom and he poured two glasses of wine. When she returned, he claimed India seemed happier and more alert. They sat, he claims, and shared a \"tender moment\" opposite a large mirror in his bedroom. \"She just happens to make this incredibly moving comment. Just a sweet India thing to do,\" claimed Tenniswood, bizarrely suggesting knowledge of a woman he had met about an hour earlier. \"The two of us were framed in the mirror and she said 'it looks like we are in the middle of an oil painting' and she put her arm around me and she squeezed, almost like we were posing for a selfie,\" he added. The jury, however, found his claims impossible to believe - just as it did with his claim that throttling her was the result of his \"over-eagerness\" to satisfy her in bed. They instead decided the evidence showed he raped and murdered her. India put up a struggle, which led to Tenniswood's blood being left beneath one of her fingernails. But by 03:00, she was dead. Donning surgical gloves, Tenniswood cleared up. He re-clothed her, covered her body and left. Concerns for India's welfare grew quickly after she failed to make contact with her family on Saturday, and then did not turn up for work at the Collingtree pub. While her family used social media to appeal for information on the day she went missing, it was not until the following afternoon that Northamptonshire Police appealed for the public's help in finding her. The force's handling of the missing person dimension of the case is currently subject of an Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) investigation. Reported missing on 30 January, India's body was found inside Tenniswood's home at about 15:30 on 31 January. Despite not having a criminal record, one officer recognised Tenniswood from the CCTV of them getting into the taxi. A trawl of earlier CCTV showed him lurking outside the club two weeks previously on 16 January. He was wearing the same clothing and carrying a backpack. PC Steven Knight, who found India's body, described how he initially tried to shake her awake. \"The first thing I noticed was the hair at the top of the mattress. Initially, I thought it was fur. The hair was displayed. Instead of being down, it was pulled up and around - sort of a halo.\" India's body had more than 30 fresh injuries, some of them consistent with an assault. Her belongings - including handbag, shoes and mobile phone - were placed around the house in such a way as to appear inconspicuous. There were \"other women's clothes and shoes\" dotted throughout his rented home. These, and newspaper clippings of women he believed resembled former girlfriends, were regarded by Tenniswood as \"ornaments\", the trial heard. Three hours after entering his home, police caught up with Tenniswood at a nearby Ibis hotel. He was in the lounge watching television, and his greeting was chilling. \"You know who I am - Edward,\" he told officers. \"I'm surprised you were so quick, it didn't take you long to find me. \"I suppose you've been to the house - you've found what you're looking for.\"",

James's family let her move in with them, meaning she avoided becoming homeless. \"When his family took me in, I knew that he was going to be more than just a friend to me,\" Diamond tells Radio 1 Newsbeat. \"I knew he would be like a brother.\" Diamond, and James, who was 22, were neighbours. They met by the swimming pool of their apartment complex in 2018. James would walk her to her job and help her with homework. She still has the sketches he made in the margins of her school books. Diamond says James, who was nicknamed \"Juju\", was silly and adored by his little brothers and sisters. He had a job as a construction worker, but stopped working to focus on looking after his seven-month old daughter. He was proud to be a father, Diamond says. It was thinking of his baby daughter's future that made James more politically active, according to news reports. He started attending the Black Lives Matter protests following the death of George Floyd, who was killed in Minneapolis after a white police officer knelt on his neck for nearly nine minutes. But after one protest on May 30, James didn't come home. Jacob Gardner, a white bar owner, shot and killed him in an incident that was caught on video and went viral on Twitter. Mr Gardner had been standing outside his bar to guard it and the video shows James clinging to Mr Gardner's back as he fired two shots into the air, then one shot behind his back, which hit James in the collarbone. James died from his injuries. The county attorney said he wouldn't press charges as he had concluded the bar owner was acting in self-defence. But some eyewitnesses claim Mr Gardner and his father were threatening protesters and using racial slurs, and James was trying to protect others. A public backlash led the county attorney to call in a grand jury - a group of citizens who decide if charges should be brought - to investigate the case. They will consider if Mr Gardner should face charges that could include manslaughter and carrying a weapon when his permit had expired. 'We can make a change' Omaha is Nebraska's largest city. It's mainly white - 77% in the last census. Nebraskan Governor Pete Ricketts came under fire for addressing black community leaders there as \"you people\" during a meeting about James' death, causing some to walk out in protest. Diamond wasn't there the night her friend died. She hadn't been to the protests at all before that. She says she knew police violence was a problem but she didn't think of herself as politically engaged. That changed when James was killed. \"I loved James like a brother,\" she says. \"Losing him was a different kind of pain I never felt before.\" So Diamond broke Covid-19 quarantine guidelines to protest with her friends. \"The government is against its own people,\" she says. \"But if the people stick together, then we can make a change in the government.\" \"I'm still out here protesting,\" she tells Newsbeat. \"My best friend has not got his justice yet.\" James' death is one of at least 19 in the US connected to the protests. Most were unarmed black men like him. Some died from gunshot wounds; one died when a counter-protester drove a vehicle through a crowd. Diamond wants other young people to support Black Lives Matter and says it's important the protests are peaceful. \"I believe that regardless of our situation, we shouldn't be ruining our own home,\" she says. \"I want people to be safe doing it the right way: with non-violence.\" Diamond spoke to Newsbeat as she prepared for a party with James's family, to commemorate him - a \"Juju world\" party with a poolside barbeque and a video montage. They hope it will be a tradition for years to come. Diamond hopes that charges will be brought in his case: \"I want justice for all.\" James had plans for his future. He was thinking of becoming a tattoo artist like his brother, or studying in college to be a role model for his daughter. In the days after his death, his name trended on Twitter. Murals have been put up to honour him. \"He used to tell me that when he died, he was going to die a legend,\" Diamond says of her friend, who was also an aspiring rapper. He wanted to be famous, and a role model for his daughter. \"Now my best friend is a legend,\" Diamond says. \"His name will live on.\" Follow Newsbeat on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.

            "input": "Valeria PerassoSocial Affairs correspondent, WS Languages Nine years after his plumbing company collapsed at the height of the credit crunch, Clint Barta is feeling confident enough to start again. \"It's only been days, so it's a bit slow,\" says Barta who has been in the business for 33 years. \"But I'm meeting with a builder tomorrow.\" The plumber had to lay off 75 employees back in 2008 and commuted daily for an out-of-town job to keep his family afloat. \"For years, we saw nothing in this town,\" he says. \"But now we live in 'Trump times' and it's all starting to change\". Barta lives in Jamestown, a tiny town of 1,900 people nestled in the fertile hills of north Tennessee. An area \"with 230 churches and just one pub\", as some locals describe it. It's a two-hour drive from here to the nearest city, and the busy streets and shining high-rises of the state capital Nashville feel like a world away. In Jamestown, the streets that make up the town centre are deserted. A short walk takes you past row upon row of empty shops with bare shelves, broken blinds, and months' worth of post piling up under the doors. There are dusty shop fronts, a florist with plastic funeral wreaths in the window, a thrift store, a few sun-bleached 'For Sale' signs. Between 2008 and 2012 official statistics show Jamestown had the sixth lowest median household income of any town in the US. And by 2015 over half of its population was living below the poverty line. But since Donald Trump won the election in November 2016, there's a new sense of optimism in the air. \"I am hopeful about his promise of bringing jobs back, I have already experienced it myself with my business reopening\", says Clint Barta. \"Trump is a businessman and I'd rather have a businessman in office than a politician.\" Many echo his optimism. Voters in Jamestown and the surrounding Fentress County came out overwhelmingly in favour of the Republican candidate, who won 82.5% of the local vote. \"[We are] Republicans through and through, there's no denying it,\" Barta laughs. White America With a population that is more than 95% white, Jamestown is a textbook example of a small white working-class American town. Fifty years ago it was a thriving hub with hundreds employed in local mines and three garment factories. But then the mines closed and the factories left. Many here blame the North American Free Trade Agreement, Nafta, signed in the 1990s, for \"taking our jobs south to Mexico\". Plans to turn Jamestown into a hub for the service industry failed to materialise, and neither did a new interstate highway that would increase commercial traffic. The local industrial park today stands half empty. A giant Walmart did finally provide some new jobs, but also forced many \"mom-and-pop\" stores out of business. Unemployment in the area rose above 6%, much higher than the national 4.3%, and on a par with Alaska and New Mexico, the two states with the worst rates in US. But despite all this, the latest state-level statistics are starting to show some good news - and giving people hope. During the first 100 days of Donald Trump's presidency, Tennessee became the country's number one state for small business job growth, according to the Paycheck/IHS index. And in May the state saw its largest month-to-month unemployment drop in more than 30 years, figures from the Bureau of Labour Statistics show. For people here, it's confirmation that their new president is delivering on his campaign promise to generate 25 million jobs and become, in his own words, \"the greatest jobs producer that God ever created\". In fact, the trend actually started before the change of administration, thanks to relatively low tax rates and the low cost of living in the state. But J. Michael Cross, the county executive of Fentress County, is definitely feeling optimistic. \"Thirty-five percent of all large cranes in the US are said to be in Nashville right now\", he says. \"New buildings of all sorts are popping up.\" Although that figure is hard to verify, Tennessee's multi-million pound construction blitz has been well documented. And Mayor Cross - whose patch includes Jamestown - is a firm believer in \"trickle-down economics\". \"It may take a year or three, but at some point in time we will benefit from some of those new jobs and industries,\" he says. Hover over the curve to see figures for each month. \"I ask friends when I go hungry\" At the Jamestown food bank, those waiting to receive their free box of provisions know little about state statistics. As they file through this blue, galvanised steel shed they probably have other numbers on their minds - working out how to make each precious food parcel last. Demand is so high that families are only allowed to come here once every six weeks. \"Resources won't stretch any further,\" says Sally Frogge, a sprightly 77-year-old volunteer, who is updating the records on a computer. Like most of the 15 volunteers here, she is from one of Jamestown's many local churches. It is a precise, choreographed operation. The volunteers walk between pallets and crammed shelves, filling boxes with basic supplies - packets of rice, tinned fruit and vegetables, biscuits and flour. The Methodist church donates washing powder and sometimes there is also soap and toiletries to hand out. The food bank helps out 150 families every week. A rough estimate says that one in every six homes in Fentress, a county of 17,000 inhabitants, depends in some way on food banks to feed themselves. \"There are so many people on disability income, the elderly, the unemployed…\", says Sally. \"[People] tell us they are looking for work and that goes on and on for months\". Kenny Jones, 51, is one of the hopefuls. \"I haven't been here for a while,\" he says. \"I don't want to make it a habit. But work is non-existent, whenever a position comes up there are 20 people in line waiting to take it\". Jones' story is typical. He worked all his life in the construction industry, driving from state to state, picking up short-term contract work. It was a hard, hand to mouth existence, living out of a suitcase. When his wife and children left him, he decided he couldn't do it anymore. He couldn't afford to keep his car, and in a town where public transport is almost non-existent he has to rely on friends to give him lifts. Kenny says he can make the food bank provisions last 20 days if he eats once a day. But that still leaves another 22 days before he can come back for another box. \"I have friends that I ask for help when I go hungry,\" he says. He's heard there might be a factory opening up soon and he's hoping to find out what work might be on offer. But he's not holding out much hope. \"This town will eat you if you let it,\" he says as he loads his food box into a friend's car. \"And it'll never get better.\" A job centre... with no job offers \"The employment office? I don't think it exists any more,\" says the local librarian. It's scorching in the midday sun and the library is the only open door in Jamestown's complex of municipal buildings, organised around a car park. She's wrong. But the office is so small and tucked away that it would be easy to miss. Sitting at a single desk in a windowless room at the end of corridor, manager Janice Campbell is happy to chat. She points out the computer for doing job searches which is almost always free. On the jobs board, there are just three postings: one for teaching jobs in local schools, another one for a position with a charity for the disabled. The third one is for the role of county Sheriff, after the previous incumbent stepped down and pleaded guilty to coercing vulnerable female prisoners into sex. With few jobs on offer, Janice gets few visitors. But recently she's had a flurry of calls from people who, like Kenny Jones, have heard a factory is about to open up. \"No-one's said anything to me\", says Janice. \"But the rumour's out there because 10 or so people are contacting us daily asking the same thing.\" Back in the Fentress County council offices, Mayor Cross is crunching the numbers. The official stats for the current state of affairs in Jamestown make pretty grim reading. The town's average household income is just $15,700 (£12,082), compared to a country-wide average of $53,000. And a shocking 50.5% of the local population lives below the poverty line, compared to a national average of less than 15%. People have got used to things being bad, says Mayor Cross. \"The biggest challenge is the negative mentality of many residents.\" The mayor is adamant things are looking up, with several local businesses taking on staff recently. \"Three or four other businesses have added 75 to 100 jobs to the local economy,\" he says, a significant amount for an economically active population of about 10,000. But there will only be a real turnaround if Fentress County can attract new businesses from outside the area. And he believes President Trump can help this to happen. \"I've always researched business models and I have studied Trump for 30 years, before even dreaming he would get into politics,\" he says. \"The poor, rural people look at him as a refreshing break from old school politicians.\" \"There is confidence and people will be more willing to take risks\". Even the churches are in expansion mode, he says, which may give the construction industry an extra boost. And that's no small opportunity: Fentress County is at the heart of America's Bible Belt. On the road into Jamestown alone there are more than 70 churches, with their crosses and billboards lit up with bible quotes. \"Are there 230 churches in the county? Could be\", says Cross, who doesn't know the exact figure but thinks that doesn't sound off. And the new factory that so many people are talking about? \"We are in conversations,\" he says. \"A big company from outside state, could mean up to 150 jobs. That's all I can say, let's hope we can bring good news in a couple of months.\" Sweating in his dirty work overalls, Timothy Dillard is sawing three-metre wooden planks into skirting boards. After 22 years in the military and four more as a missionary in Africa, he returned home to Jamestown 18 months ago and set up a construction company. \"Service with a higher purpose,\" says the motto printed on his business card, followed by a biblical reference. Micah 6:8: \"What does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy\". Dillard has a staff of five - all local young people, one of them recruited just yesterday. And today they're renovating a run-down cottage outside town. \"With the crisis a few years ago, everything came to a halt,\" he says as he reaches out for the next plank. \"But recently, the hiring has gone up and people are more willing to spend.\" Many of his clients are retired people who have moved to Fentress County attracted by low property taxes and cost of living. Many come for the horse riding. With its tracks and hillsides, this is a dream destination for the equestrian community. \"Some stay,\" he says. \"That all creates jobs.\" Small companies like Dillard's, employing several to a few hundred workers, make up 94% of business in the US. And everyone here understands that President Trump's promised new jobs will only come in large numbers if those small firms are able to expand. But in a place that's been in such a long downward spiral, turning things round is not easy. \"The biggest challenge is finding people who want to work,\" says Dillard. \"People come for a week and as soon as they get paid they don't show up again. Why work, when you've got free money?\" In Jamestown 39.6% of all adults of workforce age, from 18 to 65, are living off welfare payments - compared to a national average of below 15%. And to many small-scale employers, that seems like a big disincentive for people to get into the workforce. \"Generation after generation of people drawing checks\", he says, taking a break from his work bench. \"How do we fix that? I don't know the answer… but then, I don't make policy.\" Trailers, dogs and drugs Some of the people Tim Dillard probably has in mind are to be found in Jamestown's Sunshine Lane. Its name belies the grim reality of a pockmarked old concrete street lined up with crumbling trailers and wooden shacks, abandoned cars, stray dogs and piles of rubbish that occasionally get set alight, releasing a thick smoke. The doors - those that exist- are mostly left open, windows covered with fabric and cardboard in the place of glass. Some houses have porches made of sheets held together with rubble and old armchairs outside. \"What are you looking for?\" asks Connor, strong, angular faced and sun-tanned, his neck covered in scars from past injuries. It's the middle of the working week but everyone here seems to be home - although most prefer to hide away at the sight of strangers. Dogs bark unwelcomingly. Connor, who's about 40, lives at the bottom of Sunshine Lane, in a little cabin with peeling paint. He has one room which he shares with a woman who hides behind the fabric hanging in the doorway the moment she sees us. He can't walk much: he has a broken back, he says, after an injury he had while working at a local garage, fixing trucks. \"What do I live off? Well, I'm on disability (allowance), I draw my check for some 600 dollars,\" he replies. \"I don't know if there are jobs now because I don't go to town often, but to those that say that people here don't want to work, let me tell you: the jobs are bad, they always have been. There are so many like me, who get hurt because the job is dangerous and then you are on our own, in pain and with no other jobs to go for.\" His neighbour opposite, with whom he doesn't really get along, has a similar story. Pauline was diagnosed with lung cancer, had surgery twice and lost everything: her job at a bar and the few savings she had. Painfully thin, emaciated \"with the cancer back\" and on sickness benefit, she lives alone in Sunshine Lane. She lost contact with her family but a friend visits from time to time. \"Now I'm here, no choice, no joy\", she says, lying on a shabby sofa outside her home. Pauline has just two broken teeth, a half-smoked cigarette in her right hand and another, not yet lit, in her left. Her face is pocked with countless red blemishes and has track marks of syringes on her arms. Sunshine Lane is also the place where Jamestown's biggest tragedy is played out in plain sight. Drugs. Some heroin, but for the most part methamphetamine and prescription pills, according to Sergeant Brandon Cooper, a spokesman for the Sheriff's office. Sunshine Lane, everyone agrees, is a safe haven for consumers and dealers alike. Connor says he takes pills \"every so often\" to ease his back pain, although he doesn't see himself as an addict. As in many other American towns, drug addiction is at epidemic levels, although the county does not provide any official figures. But they do provide crime statistics which give an indication of the extent of the problem. Fentress County has a brand new prison, built in 2014 and nicknamed \"the Taj Mahal\" by locals, with space for 166 inmates. The jail is currently at full capacity and 80% of the inmates are in for drug-associated offences. Drug abuse is a very real obstacle to any official plan to tackle unemployment. \"It is hard: how can drug users be productive? I question whether those people want a job hard enough to overcome their drug addiction,\" asks Mayor Cross. For Mark Clapp, senior emergency doctor at the hospital, the issue's more complex than that. \"My experience tells me that it takes them to have something radical or catastrophic in their life that triggers the desire to change,\" he says. He estimates that 10% of the population suffers from addiction and here he sees \"two or three serious drug-related admissions\" every time he's on shift in the emergency room. Clapp was an obstetrician for 20 years until he \"got tired of signing death certificates\" for the parents of children he had helped deliver, due to overdoses. He moved to the emergency room instead but, inspired by his religious beliefs, he also runs a rehabilitation clinic for addicts. \"The nature of the jobs we have around here plays a part: young people do physically demanding work, they wear out their back, get prescriptions to manage pain - and they never get off them. As a doctor, what do you do with a 22-year-old with chronic pain who is already on a high dose of narcotics?\" The solution, he says, is not just more jobs - but better ones. \"There is no way out if we don't stop the brain drain of the brighter kids, who go away for college and never come back.\" 'Trump is going to do great things' Nancy Lee Thompson is having breakfast as she does at least twice a week in the West End cafe. It's a typical American diner and at 8am it's buzzing with customers and smelling of fry-ups and coffee. Nancy is 68 and moved here from Florida, one of a growing number of retired people living in Fentress - a new demographic that now makes up 28% of the local population. She's also a proud Trump supporter. \"I love Trump,\" she says. \"He is going to shake things up that needed to be shaken for a long time, he is not part of the political system that has dragged us down.\" \"There are so many people here that have never known the satisfaction of a good day's work. And that's a shame, because it is a good feeling. But that's about to change\". \"We have seen our business improving recently, that's a fact,\" agrees Bob Washburn, one of the owners of Wolf River Valley, a nursery that trades decorative plants and some vegetables. He hasn't got a figure to hand, just a perception that comes from years of attending to his customers day in, day out. His business - peonies and pumpkins, geraniums and chillies, chrysanthemums and tomatoes - depends more on the weather than on the mood in Washington DC, he admits, but it's also affected by people's outlook. \"People seem more optimistic and optimism changes the economy. As a business person, I am always looking for lower taxes and looser regulations, which he has promised,\" says Washburn. \"We feel we have reached the bottom and the only way is up. And country people here are very proud and they feel that for the very first time they had an input into deciding who the president is. The unspoken, silent great majority,\" adds Washburn. At the (only) local bar But not everyone shares the enthusiasm. T'z Pub is Jamestown's only bar. It's housed in a shed down a gravel track and, like the West End cafe, it has a loyal clientele. A dozen patrons sit around the horseshoe-shaped bar, all part of a single conversation. On the other side of the bar is Theresa Hale, handing them cold beer bottles and getting her tips through Bella, a dog who catches the patrons' one-dollar bills with her mouth and diligently brings them to her owner. Hale is a Texan who you wouldn't want to get on the wrong side of. She came to the town \"following a lover, but it didn't work out\" and decided to take over the once notoriously rough pub and clean up its reputation. She banned guns and fist fights and saw off undesirable regulars who used to leave the car park full of syringes. Back then the place was always full, but she prefers it like this, with the pool tables empty and a few loyal customers. \"Fentress: the county with 230 churches and only one bar,\" she laughs. \"We should print t-shirts with that slogan!\" This is a \"dry county\" with strict legislation against alcohol sales. In the last election there was a move to ease the restrictions but it was voted down. \"Trump? What do you want us to say about Trump?\" says one of the customers, his tone distinctly unfriendly. There's suddenly an uncomfortable silence. \"I can tell you why nobody wants to talk: because nobody wants to be associated with the bar,\" says Teresa. \"We're in the Bible Belt and that says it all. The church dictates the way of life and the politics of this place.\" But the conversation soon starts up again. \"Here people feel that they share values with the president, and even more so with the vice-president Mike Pence\" says one man. \"And then there's this idea that by making America great again, whatever that means, we will all individually benefit in this part of the state. That's nonsense,\" says his companion, a twenty-something woman, by far the youngest in the group. \"Nothing will change just because there is change at a federal level. We will still be run by the same handful of rich, powerful families of the town.\" Trickle-down effect Outside the courthouse in the centre of Jamestown, a team of gardeners are planting flowers. \"We try to do things that are uplifting. Psychologically, get people to think that good things are happening,\" Mayor Cross explains. In the square across from his office a new gym and boutique have just come into business - their \"Now Open\" banners livening up the row of empty shops. On the next block, Clint Barta, the plumber, is washing the windows in his wife's boutique - one of the few to have remained opened on the main street. He says he's taking heart from the boom in Nashville and keeping his fingers crossed that it will have a trickle-down effect. To give himself a boost, Clint has started going to the First Baptist church, partly to fulfil his desire \"to spend some time with the Lord,\" he says, and partly because it is \"good for the networking\". \"The more you get known, the better opportunities you have.\" \"I truly believe that Trump will do everything he has promised us,\" he says. \"I've seen a lot of good things from him.\" \"Yes, we all make mistakes, we live and we learn. But with him, I'm not disappointed one bit.\" Text and photos: Valeria Perasso. Video: Hetal Gandhi.",

A major eruption in 1997 killed 19 people, devastating the south of the island and burying the capital, Plymouth. More than half the population left. Once an economic mainstay, tourism was badly hit and Montserrat has relied heavily upon British and EU aid, with a new airport inaugurated in 2005. Named by the voyager Christopher Columbus in 1493, the island became an English colony in 1632. Most Montserratians are of African descent.

Traffic Commissioner for Wales Nick Jones said the ban was due to an \"an unjustifiable risk\" to the public. The company said it had been \"unfairly targeted\" by the authorities. A spokesman said the incidents happened over a period of months with an \"unexpectedly high\" number of inspections, and that the decision could lead to the loss of eight jobs.

Gwynedd Council confirmed it was working to find temporary replacement services for school and public services formerly operated by Huw's Coaches. In a decision published on Friday, Mr Jones said the firm's management had been involved in a campaign to frustrate and \"impede\" attempts to investigate it. This included the intimidation of Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency staff and \"false claims\" that an incident which involved two wheels falling off a bus was in fact due to a \"tyre blow out\". \"The combination of poor vehicles, deliberate false claims as to incidents and calculated attempts at intimidation are such that I cannot allow buses to continue to be run,\" said Mr Jones. \"The operator no longer satisfies the requirement to be of good repute, it no longer satisfies the requirement to have financial standing and it no longer satisfies the requirement to be professionally competent.\" He added: \"Road safety concerns are immediate and significant.\" The Tacsi Gwynedd spokesman added it \"completely and utterly denied\" the claim of intimidation. \"(It) had arisen from an incident in which a member of staff had seen a stranger reversing one of the company's buses toward the depot gate, without realising that the person in the bus was a member of DVSA staff,\" he said.

            "input": "By Hamish ReidBBC News People who live in Arlington House, on the seafront, are in dispute with landlord Freshwater over the plans to build the superstore on the site. Campaigners fear that the Grade II* listed Dreamland railway would be affected by the store's proximity. But Freshwater claims the development is a vital part of Margate's regeneration. The steel-reinforced concrete 18-storey tower block was built in the 1960s as the country's first park-and-shop development. Application for listing Freshwater, which owns the lease to the Arlington site at the west end of Margate's seafront, wants to build the supermarket at the same level as an existing, unused, car park behind the tower block. Some residents are opposing these plans and are hoping to have the application ruled illegal because of the recent upgrading of the neighbouring Dreamland scenic railway from Grade II to Grade II* listing. Valerie Kirschner, secretary of the Arlington House Residents' Association, said: \"There is a tremendous community in this building. \"One of the major causes of concern for us is, if you build a giant supermarket on the site, the traffic around here will be phenomenal. \"We will no longer be living on the seafront, we will be living on an island of traffic.\" English Heritage is considering an application to have Arlington House listed, which campaigners hope will mean the redevelopment cannot go ahead. 'Not against Tesco' Architect Sam Causer said: \"It's absolutely representative of its time. We don't build like this anymore and it represents a hugely optimistic view of the way we live.\" An outline planning application has also been submitted to develop the shops on the seafront, between the beach and Arlington House, and for a 60-bedroom hotel. This will need to be approved before this work can begin. Stephen Byfield, from Freshwater, said: \"When we have interest from operators to build the buildings on the front we will put them in place.\" He admitted that Freshman had not received any interest from companies wanting to run the hotel or rent the retail units. Without the hotel and shops, residents fear that the supermarket will dominate the view from Margate's famous sandy beach. They commissioned Liam Nabb and Mr Causer to produce an artist's impression of how the new Tesco store could look. Mr Byfield said that a plan had been discussed with Thanet District Council to put up \"some sensible and attractive hoardings\" until the hotel and shops are built. He said that Freshwater's intention to improve Arlington house, by cleaning and staining the tower to return it to its original cream colour, was part of the planning application. \"All the windows will be replaced with new double glazed units, done in a way that we can get a uniform style across all the windows. \"At the moment, looking at Arlington House, you have some windows with net curtains, some without, some with curtains.\" John Moss, vice chairman of the residents association, responded to the plan saying: \"The developers are planning on changing all the windows, but they are owned by the flats' leaseholders.\" Mr Byfield admitted: \"We want a building that looks excellent from the outside. It may be very difficult to achieve if we can't get access to these flats.\" As part of the development of the site, the dedicated residents' car parking will also be moved to spaces reserved within the proposed supermarket car park. Freshwater said it had been looking for a way of developing the site for 10 years. \"The only way it can happen is if we get the supermarket to come in and build there, because that will bring in sufficient funds to make this happen,\" Mr Byfield said. Mr Moss said: \"We are in favour of the redevelopment of the site, we're not against Tesco, we're not against having a supermarket on the site. \"What we are saying is the size of the proposed supermarket is far too big, and the amount of traffic it will generate is not going to benefit Margate.\" Tesco was unavailable for comment.",

A spokesman said costs for the London economy would continue to spiral if the demand was not meant. London's population is expected to top nine million by 2021, he said. 'A scandal' According to London Councils' analysis of housing statistics from the Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG) and Greater London Authority, 526,000 new homes are needed to be built between 2011 and 2021 in London just to keep up with current housing demand. A further 283,000 homes would also need to be built to meet both new demand and the backlog of housing need in London, it said. However, according to London Councils' research, only 250,000 homes will be built on current projections. Sir Steve Bullock, London Councils' Executive Member for Housing and the mayor of Lewisham, said: \"The news that London needs almost a million homes by 2021 is a scandal - the last time we faced such an acute housing supply crisis was after the Second World War. This is a long time coming and the capital's future prosperity is on the line. \"Rising housing costs are not only a problem for those struggling to rent but for any Londoner wishing to buy their own home. \"If the housing crisis is not solved, costs for the London economy will continue to spiral. More working families will struggle to rent and to buy, more people could be forced out of the capital and homelessness is very likely to go up.\" Boost supply London Councils has suggested a number of policies to boost housing supply including lifting the \"housing borrowing cap\" which prevents councils investing in housing. Other policies include increasing investment in the rental sector, supporting smaller scale builders, and promoting sustainable development near London's Tube and rail network. In February London Mayor Boris Johnson said all stamp duty on property sold in the capital should be retained by London and not go to central government, to help build the new homes it \"desperately needs.\" He said: \"If we do not come up with a new plan to build the homes we need, this great city will suffer and the whole country will feel the consequences.\" A spokesman for the Department for Communities and Local Government said builders, investors and local councils were being encouraged to increase the supply of both new-builds and repurposed empty homes. \"A number of schemes are in place covering England to help create more homes such as an investment fund for developers to help build homes on development sites that have stalled,\" he said. \"We've introduced the New Homes bonus, which is a grant to local councils for increasing the number of homes and their use and we're offering new loan guarantees for housing developers.\"",

            "input": "Anthony ZurcherNorth America reporter@awzurcheron Twitter Some of the characters have changed, of course. Femme fatale Hillary Clinton and her team of Democratic Party heavies have been replaced by tough-guy Donald Trump and the alt-right gang. Fans will be thrilled to learn, however, that top law-man James Comey is back for another turn in the spotlight. In this year's first episode, the FBI director faces down congressional inquisitors, who press him for information on allegations that Russia - those long-time stock Hollywood villains - tried to meddle in the 2016 US presidential election. Here's a quick review of what we learned and what we still don't know. No spoiler alerts are necessary - the big revelations will have to wait until the season finale ... if there ever is one. What we now know There is an active, ongoing investigation After a bit of grandstanding on the part of the top members of the House Intelligence Committee and a warm-up act from National Security Agency head Mike Rogers, Mr Comey led with the big news of the day. \"I have been authorised by the Department of Justice to confirm that the FBI, as part of our counterintelligence mission, is investigating the Russian government's efforts to interfere in the 2016 presidential election, and that includes investigating the nature of any links between individuals associated with the Trump campaign, and the Russian government, and whether there was any coordination between the campaign and Russia's efforts,\" he said. That there is an investigation isn't exactly breaking news - the BBC's Paul Wood reported on it in early January - but official acknowledgement is a significant development. The fact that his investigation first began in July, during the heat of the 2016 election campaign, will likely leave Democrats howling. They will contrast Mr Comey's wide-ranging comments on the investigation into Hillary Clinton's email server with his until-recent silence surrounding the Trump-related inquiry. Mr Rogers also said that the intelligence community stands behind the declassified report it issued in early January that concluded that the Russia government attempted to influence the US election in a way that helped Mr Trump's candidacy. There is 'no evidence' Barack Obama wiretapped Trump Tower The other big revelation of the day was how thoroughly both Mr Comey and Mr Rogers debunked the president-tweeted allegation that Barack Obama or his Justice Department had authorised the wiretapping of Trump Tower. \"With respect to the president's tweets about alleged wiretapping directed at him by the prior administration,\" Mr Comey said, \"I have no information that supports those tweets. And we have looked carefully inside the FBI.\" Indeed, the ability to order such surveillance was outside the powers of any president, Mr Comey said. Mr Rogers also dismissed allegations that Mr Obama had bypassed domestic surveillance controls by requesting that British intelligence oversee the operation, noting that the accusation \"frustrates a key ally of ours\". Donald Trump isn't backing down Anyone expecting a chastened president to step forward after the day's proceedings obviously isn't a real fan of this particular show. Before the congressional hearings had even concluded, Mr Trump - or, perhaps, his staff, given that the tweets were unsigned - was firing off from the official @potus presidential account. He tweeted that the NSA and FBI had confirmed that Russia \"did not influence electoral process\" (although they only had spoken about tampering with vote counts), that \"unmasking individuals\" in leaks - read, deposed National Security Advisor Michael Flynn - endangered national security and that leakers had been \"unusually active\" recently. He also asserted that Mr Comey admitted that the Obama White House \"had the ability\" to do such unmasking and that the FBI director wouldn't deny that Mr Obama was told about the secret recording of Flynn's conversation with a Russian ambassador. It doesn't take a super sleuth to deduce that the point of these tweets was to imply that it was the Obama administration, or perhaps even the ex-president himself, behind the leaks that have fuelled speculation about Trump-Russia election collusion. Press secretary Sean Spicer was as combative as ever, saying that the president had no plans to apologise for accusing his predecessor of wiretapping Trump Tower. What we still don't know When will this investigation end? Although the FBI case has been open since July, Mr Comey said the effort is still in its early stages. \"For counterintelligence investigations, that's a fairly short period of time,\" he said. That has to be more than a bit disconcerting to the Trump White House, which has been knocked off course by this Russia story since practically the moment Mr Trump took the oath of office. And while the administration seems intent on cracking down on unauthorised leaks out of this investigation, their efforts are unlikely to succeed. A few weeks ago, the New York Times reported that Obama administration officials, prior to leaving office, had tried to disseminate intelligence related to Russian influence on the 2016 election as widely as possible in hopes of allowing it to eventually enter the public domain. A one-two punch of those revelations and any new developments in the FBI investigation is likely to keep the Trump team off balance for quite some time. \"This work is very complex and there is no way for me to give you a timetable as to when it will be done,\" Mr Comey said in his opening remarks. \"We approach this work in an open-minded, independent way and our expert investigators will conclude that work as quickly as they can but they will always do it well no matter how long that takes.\" If Mrs Clinton were to come back for a cameo this year, she'd likely tell the audience that the only thing worse than an FBI investigation is an open-ended FBI investigation. Who is targeted by this inquiry? Time and again when asked about specific allegations or evidence relating to Russian contacts by specific members of the Trump campaign team, Mr Comey was silent. Former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort, who had ties to pro-Russian Ukrainian politicians? No comment. Long-time Trump advisor Roger Stone, who reportedly had communications with individuals who hacked the Democratic National Committee emails? No comment. Former National Security Advisor Flynn? No comment. \"I really don't want to get into answering questions about any individual US person,\" Mr Comey said. On Saturday, Lawfare blog editor Benjamin Wittes wrote that the worst-case scenario for the Trump White House was if Mr Comey appeared before the congressional committee and was tight-lipped. A loquacious Comey, he said, was evidence of an investigation that was near its end with little evidence of substantive wrongdoing in the higher levels of the Trump brain trust. But what would happen, Wittes wondered, if Mr Comey's FBI investigation is turning up real evidence? \"In this situation, I would expect him to be minimally verbal. He may have to answer yes or no questions in certain instances, including about the truth of the wiretapping allegations, but he will refuse to answer a lot of questions. He will make as little news as humanly possible. He will be exceptionally spare with his opinions.\" \"I'm trying to be studiously vague to protect the integrity of the investigation,\" Mr Comey said at one point on Monday. Wittes has since parsed the director's words and concluded that it was a bad day for Mr Trump. \"Really bad.\" Mr Comey's relative silence could be deadly. What will Republicans do? Going into Monday's congressional hearing there was more than a bit of unease among Republican politicians over the allegations of ties between the Trump team and Russian interests. Republican Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina said his committee was going to \"find out all things Russia\". \"We're trying to build a case,\" he said. \"So, this is what Russia's doing in other places. Then we're going to dig into what they did here.\" During the House intelligence committee proceedings, however, Republican lawmakers hewed closely to the White House line that the real story is the illegality of the intelligence community leaks about Trump team contacts with Russian officials. From committee Chair Devin Nunes on down, they focused laser-like on impressing on Mr Comey the damaging nature of the leaks and the need to determine who is responsible for them. If this is the view of rank-and-file Republicans coming out of the Comey hearings, then the Trump administration likely will feel well equipped to weather any resulting storm. Although the president has been sagging in recent polls, Republican support for Mr Trump continues to be strong. Given that conservatives hold the levers of power in Washington DC, a united party will be able to fend off Democratic allegations as long as the FBI investigation fails to turn up any solid evidence of malfeasance. In other words, all eyes are on Mr Comey and the FBI once again. Last year, his letter to Congress just two weeks before election day proved to be a seismic plot twist. Can the Trump-Russia investigation top that? Keep tuning in to find out.",

            "input": "By Justin RowlattBBC News A growing number of tech analysts are predicting that in less than 20 years we'll all have stopped owning cars, and, what's more, the internal combustion engine will have been consigned to the dustbin of history. Yes, it's a big claim and you are right to be sceptical, but the argument that a unique convergence of new technology is poised to revolutionise personal transportation is more persuasive than you might think. The central idea is pretty simple: Self-driving electric vehicles organised into an Uber-style network will be able to offer such cheap transport that you'll very quickly - we're talking perhaps a decade - decide you don't need a car any more. And if you're thinking this timescale is wildly optimistic, just recall how rapidly cars replaced horses. Take a look at this picture of 5th Avenue in New York in 1900. Can you spot the car? Now look at this picture from 1913. Yes, this time where's the horse? In 1908 the first Model T Ford rolled off the production line; by 1930 the equestrian age was, to all intents and purposes, over - and all thanks to the disruptive power of an earlier tech innovation - the internal combustion engine. So how will this latest transportation revolution unfold? The driverless Uber model First off, consider how Uber and other networked taxi companies have already changed the way we move around. In most major cities an Uber driver - or one of its rivals - is usually just a couple of minutes away, and charges less than established taxis, let's say £10. The company's exponential growth is evidence of how powerful the Uber business model is. Now take out the driver. You've probably cut costs by at least 50%. So if we're trying to work out when this revolution will begin in earnest the key date will be when self-driving vehicle technology is available and - crucially - has regulatory backing. That could well be sooner than you think. The UK has said it hopes to authorise the first fully autonomous cars as early as 2021. And, say enthusiasts for autonomy, it will only take one city to prove the technology is safe and useful and the rest of the world will very quickly rush to catch up. So self-driving cars have cut our £10 journey to £5. The switch to electric Now imagine the current mostly fossil fuel-powered taxi fleet is replaced with electric cars. At the moment electric vehicles are more expensive than similar models with internal combustion engines, but offer significantly lower lifetime costs. They are more reliable, for a start. The typical electric car has around 20 moving parts compared to the 2,000 or so in an internal combustion engine. As a result electric vehicles also tend to last much longer. Most electric car manufacturers expect their vehicles to keep on going for at least 500,000 miles. These factors aren't that important for most consumers - after all, the average driver in England does less than 10,000 miles a year and our cars are parked 95% of the time. However, they are huge issues if you're using a vehicle pretty much continuously, as would be the case with a self-driving taxi. Add in the low cost of recharging batteries compared to refuelling and you've got another dramatic reduction in costs. And it's worth noting that the cost of electric vehicles is likely to continue to fall, and rapidly. As they become mainstream, returns to scale will drive down costs. That's the logic behind Tesla's $5bn (£3.8bn) battery plant, the so-called \"Gigafactory\". How does this affect our £10 journey? It brings another dramatic reduction. Fully autonomous electric taxi networks could offer rides at as little as 10% of current rates. At least that's what tech prophet Tony Seba reckons. He and his team at the think-tank RethinkX have done more than anyone else to think through how this revolution might rip through the personal transportation market. 'Transport as a service' We've now cut our £10 fare to just £1. Mr Seba calls the idea of a robo-taxi network \"transport as a service\", and estimates it could save the average American as much as $6,000 (£4,560) a year. That's the equivalent of a 10% pay rise. And don't forget, when the revolution comes you won't be behind the wheel so now you'll be working or relaxing as you travel - another big benefit. You still think that car parked outside your flat is worth having? What's more, once this new model of getting around takes hold the benefits are likely to be reinforcing. The more vehicles in the network, the better the service offered to consumers; the more miles self-driving cars do, the more efficient and safer they'll get; the more electric vehicles manufactured, the cheaper each one will be. Don't worry that rural areas will be left out. A vehicle could be parked in every village waiting for your order to come. And range anxiety - the fear that you might run out of electricity - won't be a problem either. Should the battery run low the network will send a fully charged car to meet you so you can continue your journey. You've probably seen headlines about accidents involving self-driving cars but the truth is they will be far safer than ones driven by you and me - they won't get regulatory approval if they are not. That means tens of thousands of lives - perhaps hundreds of thousands - will be saved as accident rates plummet. That will generate yet another cost saving for our fleets of robo-taxis. The price of insurance will tumble, while at the same time those of us who insist on continuing to drive our own vehicles will face higher charges. Human drivers banned According to the tech visionaries it won't be long before the whole market tilts irreversibly away from car ownership and the trusty old internal combustion engine. RethinkX, for example, reckons that within 10 years of self-driving cars getting regulatory approval 95% of passenger miles will be in these electric robo-taxis. The logical next step will be for human beings to be banned from driving cars at all because they pose such a risk to other road users. Take a moment to think about the wide-reaching effects this revolution will have, aside from just changing how we get around. There will be downsides: millions of car industry workers and taxi drivers will be looking for new jobs, for a start. But think of the hundreds of billions of dollars consumers will save, and which can now be spent elsewhere in the economy. Meanwhile, the numbers of cars will plummet. RethinkX estimates that the number of vehicles on US roads will fall from nearly 250 million to just 45 million over a 10-year period. That will free up huge amounts of space in our towns and cities. And, please take note: I haven't mentioned the enormous environmental benefits of converting the world's cars to electricity. That's because the logic of this upheaval isn't driven by new rules on pollution or worries about global warming but by the most powerful incentive in any economy - cold hard cash. That said, there's no question that a wholesale switch away from fossil fuels will slow climate change and massively reduce air pollution. In short, let the revolution begin! But seriously, I've deliberately put these arguments forcefully to prompt debate and we want to hear what you think. You can comment below, or tweet me @BBCJustinR.",

            "input": "Scans revealed children carrying the gene variant appeared to have more nerve cell \"connections\" within the frontal lobe. They had fewer connections between this and the rest of the brain, reported Science Translational Medicine journal. Brain research has just begun to reveal autism's roots, a UK expert said. One-third of the population carry the CNTNAP2 gene variant, so it does not guarantee that autism will develop, but just slightly increases the risk. Different pathways However, scientists at the University of California in Los Angeles believe it may influence the way the brain is \"wired\". They used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to look for communication between different brain regions, and to measure the strength of these connections. They scanned the brains of 32 children as they performed learning-related tasks - half had autism, and half did not. Regardless of their diagnosis, those carrying the CNTNAP2 variant had differences in the connections within the frontal lobe of the brain itself and between the frontal lobe and the rest of the brain. Dr Ashley Scott-Van Zeeland, who led the research, said: \"The front of the brain appears to talk mostly to itself - it doesn't communicate as much with other parts of the brain and lacks long-range connections to the back of the brain.\" The researchers also spotted differences in the \"wiring\" between the frontal lobe and the left and right sides of the brain. In children with the version of the gene not linked to autism risk, the pathways were linked more strongly to the left side of the brain. In those with the \"risk variant\", the pathways were different, linking the lobe strongly to both sides of the brain. This, said the researchers, could explain why the gene variant had been linked to children who are slow in starting to talk. Dr Scott-Van Zeeland said that if the gene variant did predict language problems, then it might be possible to design therapies which helped to \"rebalance\" the brain and encourage normal development. Professor Margaret Esiri, a neuroscientist from Oxford University, said that researchers had so far \"barely scratched the surface\" of understanding the interplay between genes and brain development. Her own research closely analyses a scarce supply of donated brains from both autistic and non-autistic adults and children to look for differences in structure and function. She said: \"If you understand these subtle differences, there may be ways of 'tweaking' them earlier in life, and bringing them back into a normal trajectory of development. Of course, this would be many years away.\" Carol Povey, from the National Autistic Society, said the study was interesting because it began to link genes thought to be involved in autism to actual changes in brain function. She said: \"The causes of autism are as yet unknown, but we do know there are likely to be many factors involved, so we hope this will contribute to our understanding of this complex condition.\"",

Mr Mason, of Ash Lane in Ollerton, denies murdering the teenager in remote woodland in Ashley, Cheshire. The trial at Chester Crown Court has heard Alex, who was bludgeoned to death with a wrench, was blackmailing Mr Mason over a sexual relationship. Miss Lancashire told the jury Mr Mason started to cry after telling her he had been giving money to Alex, when she visited him following his arrest. Prosecutor Ian Unsworth QC asked her: \"Did he say to you 'I've killed him'?\" Miss Lancashire, 19, replied \"yes\" and said Mr Mason, who lived with his family on a farm near Knutsford, told her that he gave about £2,000 to Alex. She told the court she was in a relationship with the defendant for about two years but they split up in November last year when Alex messaged her and told her Mr Mason had been speaking to him and sent him an explicit picture. The jury heard that at about 22:20 GMT on 12 December, the night of Alex's death, Mr Mason sent her a picture of himself smiling in bed with no top on. The following morning he sent pictures of his feet in the floor of his car and when she asked if he was OK he replied \"I'm fine\", the court heard. Miss Lancashire said she phoned Mr Mason after a friend of Alex asked her if she knew where they both were. She told the court: \"I was shouting 'where are you, where's Alex'?\" He told her Alex was \"mithering\" him for a lift so he had taken him to a pub in Holmes Chapel, the jury heard. She said Mr Mason seemed \"like he already knew\" when she told him police were trying to find Alex. The trial continues. Why not follow BBC North West on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram?

            "input": "By Judith BurnsEducation reporter Victims' grades and mental health too often suffer and some quit altogether, according to an Equality and Human Rights Commission report. But too many universities fear facing up to the issue will harm their reputation, the authors say. In response, Universities UK pledged \"urgent steps\" on racial harassment. The EHRC carried out in-depth interviews with students and staff, commissioned a survey of a representative sample of more than 1,000 students and sent a questionnaire to universities. The report says about 13% of the students questioned had experienced racial harassment, rising to about a quarter of students from minority ethnic backgrounds, but universities are often unaware of the true extent of the problem on their campuses. It calls the results \"damning\". 'Pretty for a black girl' Students and staff had experienced: One undergraduate in Wales, reported aggression from fellow students. \"On multiple occasions, myself or my friends have had the N-word shouted at us or being told they are 'pretty for a black girl',\" she said. While black and Asian students were most likely to report abuse, Jewish and Muslim students also said they were targeted. A Jewish student said he had been threatened with being put in an oven, amid references to Auschwitz, during a protest event on campus. Muslim students spoke of feeling the need to play down their religious identity because of security checks at university events. International students said they often felt unwelcome, isolated and vulnerable, treated like commodities only wanted by universities for their fees. And many students reported \"microaggressions\" from staff or fellow students who, for example, expressed surprise they were on a particular course or mixed them up with the only other person of their ethnicity on the course. Students who complained about racial \"banter\" said they were often accused of being \"oversensitive\" and felt they received little empathy or understanding. \"It impacted my academic performance because I didn't enjoy studying or doing group work with students who were so casually racist, sexist and homophobic,\" said one. 'Isolated and alone' Others said their mental health had been affected \"I just don't want to be brown anymore. I wish I could boil my skin off or bleach it entirely,\" said an international student at university in England And an academic at a Welsh university said: \"As a Muslim, suicide is never an option but I feel incredibly isolated and alone. This institution is the first time in my life I have felt the target of racism.\" The EHRC found a large discrepancy between the proportion of students reporting racial incidents during its research and the number recorded by universities. Students are often reluctant to complain at all and many informal complaints are unrecorded, so some universities do not have a true sense of the scale of racial harassment on their campuses, the report says. About one in five universities said they had received no complaints of racial harassment at all in more than three years. The report suggests some are reluctant to admit the true scale of the problem for fear of putting off potential students and losing their fees. \"They are living in the past and have failed to learn from history,\" said EHRC chief executive Rebecca Hilsenrath, \"No-one should ever be subjected to racial harassment in any setting. \"Our report reveals that not only are universities out of touch with the extent that this is occurring on their campuses, some are also completely oblivious to the issue.\" Universities UK president and Brunel University vice-chancellor Prof Julia Buckingham said the EHRC's findings were \"sad and shocking\", calling on her fellow university leaders to make tackling racial harassment a top priority. Earlier this month UUK called on universities to give more attention to harassment and hate crimes related to race or faith. The body says it will now call on universities to commit publicly to making it easier for people to report incidents and to putting better processes in place to respond more effectively.",

This week it was named Waterstones Book of the Year and Burton won the new writer of the year prize at the National Book Awards last week. Set in 1686, The Miniaturist tells the story of a young bride, Nella Oortman, who is given a miniature replica of her own house whose contents seem to mirror real life. Burton, 31, wrote the book over four years while working as an actress and as a PA in a City firm. She tells the BBC's Tim Masters how she got the idea on holiday in Amsterdam, and about her next book. In your blog you say you wrote The Miniaturist with \"a love that bordered hate\" and it made you \"cry with frustration\". How hard a book was it to write? When you are an unpublished writer and you don't have an agent it is a world of doubt whether this work will ever see the light of day. The reason I sometimes hated it was because I could see it in my mind's eye but I couldn't necessarily make it manifest on the page. People have described it as an ambitious book. I never thought of it as that. There were a lot of plot strands to balance - it takes a very long time to make a book readable for the general public and that was my struggle. And you wrote some of it while temping in the City? I was doing it to the fill the gaps in between acting. I always made sure I did my other work but I did have to write it in bits because I had to pay the bills. You were inspired by Petronella Oortman's dollhouse in the Rijksmuseum - was it a lightning bolt moment? I was very fascinated by this house and I stood in front of it for a lot longer than anybody else. The things that caught my attention was the fact that she spent as much money on it as her real house. I thought: \"Why?\" How scrupulous was your research? The society of the time was one of great ostentation. In a wealthy society like that they were painting themselves and decorating their houses - there was a lot of evidence left for me to look at. There are so many paintings and first-hand accounts. There's a cookbook I used from 1671. But I didn't want it to be a didactic history lesson for the reader. I wanted it to be a story with characters who you cared about. Why do you think the character of Nella has had such appeal to readers? Nella is so spirited and she takes life by the horns and gets on with it. She's a life force and I think people are attracted to that. You're a trained actor - will this story have any life on the stage? It would be great if it was adapted into a play. It would be a good Christmas extravaganza - maybe a musical. Maybe I should write a libretto. Do you miss acting? I don't think it ever quite leaves you but one of the reasons this book came into being was because the acting was drying up - as it does for quite a few women in their late 20s. The publishing industry has welcomed me with open arms far more than the acting industry ever did. What stage are you at with your next novel? It's called Belonging. I'm about a quarter of the way through a first draft. I've got the whole book plotted out. It's a dual time frame that starts in the Spanish Civil War. A promising artist goes missing - presumed dead - and then 30 years later in a London art gallery his works re-emerge. This opens a can of worms for the woman working in the gallery who's been trying to keep secrets. It's a thriller with romance and art in the mix. I'm having fun with it.",

            "input": "By Lucy AshBBC News, China Two-year-old Liu Siqi is curled up on her grandmother's lap, complaining of a tummy ache. A man tries to divert her with a squeaky plastic duck. Gradually the toddler's mood brightens. She giggles and is persuaded to join him singing a nursery rhyme. The man she calls Uncle Li belongs to China's army of family planning officers. Stationed in every city, town and village in China, for the past 35 years their job has been to hunt down families suspected of violating the country's draconian rules on how many children couples can have. But with the end of the one-child policy at the beginning of this year, some, like Li Bo, are being retrained for a different role. Now he could even be mistaken for a Chinese Father Christmas visiting remote villages in the mountains of Shaanxi province with a bag full of toys and picture books. Along with 68 of his colleagues, Li is part of a pilot programme involving academics from Shaanxi Normal University and Stanford University's Rural Education Action Programme. His new job is to teach parents and grandparents how to develop toddlers' minds by talking, singing and reading to them. He works in Danfeng County, 700 miles (1,125km) south-west of Beijing, an impoverished area where more than half the adults of working age have left for jobs in the cities. Liu Siqi, like 61 million of her peers, is a \"left-behind\" child, being raised by her grandparents. Her mother works in a noodle factory four hours' drive away and cannot visit often. Her father, who has a job in a quarry, only makes it home twice a year. At first her grandmother, Chen Huafen, was sceptical about the value of reading to such a small child. \"I thought it was a waste of time,\" she laughs. \"But she likes the stories and I was surprised by how much she remembers about them.\" Chen was in her late teens when the one-child policy was introduced back in 1979. She seems relaxed with Li but I wonder about her own experience of family planning officers. When he steps out for a smoke, she tells me the whole village \"distrusted and hated\" the enforcers, who confiscated property if families couldn't afford the fines. \"They used to come at night and take stuff away from families with more than one child,\" she says. \"Bicycles, sewing machines whatever they could lay their hands on, even our cows and pigs.\" Chen has even greater cause to loathe the family planning workers, though. In many rural areas, couples were allowed to have a second baby if their first was a girl. But Chen's first child was a boy so when she conceived for a second time, she was made to have an abortion. When she got pregnant again she went into hiding and gave birth to a daughter. But she was so afraid of a crippling fine for breaking the rules, the little girl had to live under cover. If you didn't pay the fine, known as a social maintenance fee, your child didn't exist in the eyes of the state. In practical terms that meant no access to school, healthcare or even the right to buy a train ticket. \"She stayed with my mother in the mountains for 12 years before we managed to get her registered,\" says Chen. Since the start of 2016, all Chinese couples have been allowed two children. But they can have no more than that unless they are from ethnic minorities - so Li Bo still spends some of his time working as a birth-control enforcer. In the town's health clinic he is busy screening local women. All women of childbearing age have check-ups four times a year to ensure they're healthy… and to see if they are pregnant. Until the start of this year if a couple wanted a baby, they had to seek official approval before trying to conceive. The woman's medical history is logged in a little red book. It lists the children she has, contraception she uses and any terminated pregnancies. After her ultrasound examination, I ask a woman holding the hand of small boy, if she is thinking about another baby. \"Not yet!\" she laughs. \"My husband says it's too much financial pressure.\" When I am invited to Li's home to meet his wife and nine-year-old daughter, I ask the same question. He tells me his parents, especially his mother, had been urging him for years to have another child and pay the fine. \"I would like another one,\" he chuckles, \"even though we do worry about money.\" He has a playful side and says he relates well to children because he is really \"just a big kid\" himself. But Li is also a loyal Communist party official who believes the state knows best and society's needs are greater than those of individuals. So he is matter-of-fact about the unpleasant task of telling women who couldn't afford the fine to terminate their pregnancies. \"China was facing serious problems with a large population,\" he says. \"We also told couples that more children would lower their standard of living and it was not in their child's interest either.\" When I press him on the numbers of abortions he may have persuaded women to have, he says he doesn't know and looks increasingly awkward, twisting a tissue in his hand. In some villages people threw stones at family planning officers' cars. Li admits that in many places he was not a welcome guest. \"People didn't swear at us but they probably did behind our backs,\" he says. \"It's natural because we were carrying out the law and they were breaking it so it is just like the clash between a policeman and a thief.\" He adds that as long as restrictions are in place, such clashes will continue. Yet the rules and the amount levied in fines vary drastically from one place to another and from case to case. Authorities generally set them at between three times and 10 times the average annual salary. Within China, family planning officials' treatment of those who break the rules also varies. Shandong, a coastal province between Beijing and Shanghai, with a population of 96 million, has a reputation for being particularly harsh. In recent years a string of people accused of having unauthorised children have been illegally detained. Many are too scared to talk, but one family agreed to tell me about their experience. They are nervous and say it is too risky to go to their home so we meet in a restaurant owned by a friend. I am greeted by a couple in their 60s who farm corn and peanuts and their son, who works in a local factory. In 2013 the young man's wife conceived without permission - the couple already had a daughter. Despite the relaxation of rules in rural areas, they had been banned from having a second child because their first baby was born before the mother was 20 years old. So the family hid her from the prying eyes of the family planning officials until she was six months pregnant - at that point they believed the authorities would no longer be able to force her to have an abortion. They were wrong. Family planning officers and village leaders stopped the young man on his way home from work and asked him where his wife was. \"I told them I didn't know,\" he says. \"So they started beating me.\" The one-child policy in numbers Read more: Five numbers that sum up China's one-child policy He was bundled into a minivan and taken to a nearby hotel where the beatings continued. The wife's sister was also kept prisoner for three days to increase the pressure. She wasn't let out until the family handed over 10,000 yuan ($1,500; £1,060) - allegedly hotel expenses. Then the parents-in-law were locked up and shown how their son was being treated. They offered to pay an above average fine or social maintenance fee of 70,000 yuan ($10,700; £7,400) to keep the baby but to no avail. \"They were kicking my son and slamming him against the floor,\" says the mother. \"I just couldn't bear it any more so I called my daughter-in-law to say 'Let's give up the baby.'\" As she wipes her eyes with her sleeve, her husband looks miserable and sheepish. Since the detention was unlawful, I ask the couple if they contacted the police. \"I made a phone call to the local discipline inspection,\" says the father. \"But I was told that they couldn't intervene in the work of family planning officers - those guys are so powerful they just do whatever they want.\" The family have contacted a lawyer, Wu Youshui, who has a track record of investigating abuses by family planning officers across China. They are hoping those responsible will be brought to justice and that they will be refunded some of the money they paid, but the young man says the family has been torn apart by what happened. It is of little solace to him or his wife that China now has a two-child policy. \"The harm is there and there is no way to repair it,\" he says. The mother-in-law adds that she went to the hospital and saw the aborted foetus of her grandchild. Three years have gone by but her grief is still raw. \"The baby was well-formed,\" she sobs. \"You could even see his fingernails. He was a bit small, but very well-developed already.\" The one-child policy has a bitter legacy - it has caused heartache in millions of Chinese families. The supreme irony is that the country's problem today is not overpopulation, but a shrinking labour force that threatens future growth. James Liang, a billionaire internet entrepreneur has long argued that an aging workforce will stifle creativity within companies. \"The Chinese government should be really worried,\" he says. \"What it needs is a pro-fertility policy to encourage the people to have more kids, the more the better.\" As for family planning officer Li Bo, most of the time his focus is on the next generation. At a time when China may have too few young people to face the challenges ahead every individual counts. We meet at a new parenting centre in two-year-old Liu Siqi's village. It's part of the pilot project here in Shaanxi province designed to stimulate deprived rural children and give them the best start in life. He watches toddlers throwing balls into boxes and playing with wooden shapes. \"This is a golden time for them to develop skills,\" he says. \"I like this new job and I think my work is important, because what I am doing right now will probably influence what sort of people these children will become one day.\" On my way out of town I pass the old family planning office, a forbidding looking place behind high iron gates - it was closed down and the staff moved to become part of the local health service. Now the building is dusty and empty and there is a peeling mural on the wall outside of a mother, father, and their single child against an unnaturally blue sky.

Inverness Old Town Art (Iota) would lead the arts projects. The most expensive of the two options includes a new seating area, festival, river trail, a schools project and a viewing platform that would allow people to \"enjoy the full span of the River Ness\", according to a report to Highland councillors. Creative Scotland has offered to pay £305,000 of the cost of the £740,000 project. Highland Council's City of Inverness Area Committee meeting next week will be asked to approve a £250,000 contribution. Grants would cover the rest of the cost. The second option would see the creation of the river trail, new seating area and schools project. Last month, the council released details on how traffic will be diverted during the first stage of constructing the flood alleviation scheme. Some streets will temporarily become one way systems and others will have parking restrictions. Affected areas will include Bank Street, Huntly Street and Friar's Street.

The main proposal would see some proceedings take place through video link, and broadcast live. Parliament is due to return on 21 April to debate the coronavirus outbreak and other matters. In his letter, Sir Lindsay said, given the scale of the challenge, that there would be \"bumps along the way\". \"But once these proceedings have been judged to be delivered in a satisfactory and sustainable way, both from a technological and participatory point of view, then the House can consider extending the model to other proceedings such as debates on motions and consideration of legislation.\" He said: \"I recognise the urgent need to put new arrangements in place and will do everything I can to ensure the House is presented with the opportunity to take a decision on this matter sooner rather than later.\" The House of Commons Commission will discuss the plans at a meeting on Thursday. It is understood that the committee - which is responsible for the administration and services of the House of Commons - is highly likely to nod through some changes. MPs would then have to approve the changes the following week. The prime minister was discharged from hospital on Sunday night, after spending three nights in intensive care to receive treatment for coronavirus. Downing Street said the PM will not return to work immediately, and would continue his recovery at his country residence, Chequers. MPs have been grappling with how to keep Parliament running during this crisis. For obvious reasons, they don't want to be travelling around the country and sitting in a tightly packed chamber. But they do want to continue with scrutiny of what the government is doing. The Commons Commission is highly likely to approve some changes on Thursday - allowing MPs to contribute to departmental questions and statements remotely. A more controversial question is remote voting. Some in Parliament have concerns on issues like security. It seems less likely a speedy decision will be made on that, although I understand Commons Leader Jacob Rees Mogg is prepared to explore all options and most MPs acknowledge traipsing through packed lobbies can't continue while social distancing is in place. The changes are a response to a very specific crisis. But many have been calling on Parliament to modernise for years and are hoping that these measures prove to allow more flexibility in the long-term. Commons authorities are also considering ways in which MPs could vote remotely. It is understood the government is prepared to consider all options to ensure Parliament continues to function. Commons leader Jacob Rees-Mogg said last week that when MPs return, Parliament will fulfil its \"essential constitutional functions of conducting scrutiny, authorising spending and making laws\". 'Virtual Parliament' MPs are currently due to debate key Brexit legislation when they return, and the government needs to pass its Finance Bill, enacting measures in the Budget. Under current rules, 40 MPs must be present in the Commons chamber for any votes to take place, but there have been suggestions this could be reduced so that party whips could effectively act as proxies for all their MPs, meaning fewer would need to attend in person. Such changes would, however, need the government to bring forward a motion which MPs would need to agree to. Other changes to the way MPs work could be agreed informally between the Speaker and party leaders. One of the trade unions which represents Parliamentary staff has said that Parliamentary scrutiny of the response to the current crisis is essential. Garry Graham, deputy general secretary of Prospect, said, \"Parliament can and should start meeting but any attempt to return to a full programme of business will be counterproductive and put employees and the effective functioning of the House at risk. \"Even if MPs are meeting virtually, staff will have to come into the House via public transport to facilitate that - those numbers must be kept to a minimum and where appropriate PPE must be provided. \"Using technology to conduct parliamentary business in this way has never been done - it has to work, and it has to be secure which will put a huge amount of pressure on staff.\" Members of the National Assembly for Wales held their first votes during a virtual parliamentary session last week Assembly Members took part in their second plenary session using video-conferencing on Wednesday. The proceedings included statements on the latest response to coronavirus from the First Minister, Mark Drakeford, followed by a debate and vote on legislation. The Assembly said that authorities for other global parliaments had contacted them to ask for advice on using the technology to hold their own virtual meetings. Leaders of the four opposition parties in Scotland put questions about coronavirus to First Minister Nicola Sturgeon via an online meeting for the first time on Thursday.

The BBC has since learnt that Ms Shahid had not obtained a legal divorce before her second marriage. A final report into her death was due to be presented in court, but the prosecution said it needed more time to examine it. It is thought Ms Shahid had been visiting family in the village of Pandori after being told her father was ill. Her relatives initially said she had suffered a heart attack but a post-mortem examination confirmed she died as a result of being strangled. Mr Shakeel is accused of strangling Ms Shahid, while her father is accused of taking part in her murder. But BBC Pakistan correspondent Shaimaa Khalil, reporting from Jehlum in the northern Punjab province, said Mr Shahid \"flatly denied\" police accusations his daughter had been strangled when responding to media questions as he was taken into court. Ms Shahid's second husband, Syed Mukhtar Kazim, believes she was the victim of a so-called \"honour killing\" as her family did not approve of their marriage.

According to the document, there was no suggestion her second husband was aware of that. West Yorkshire Police confirmed a complaint of bigamy had been made, but said no further action had been taken.

Its subsequent strategy to deal with this had been too vague and too late. And the issue could be repeated in other areas such as quantum computing and artificial intelligence (AI). Open standards 5G mobile telecoms networks are being rolled out in the UK, with the hope they boost connectivity and economic growth. But the House of Commons Science and Technology Committee found the process had been made more costly and delayed by the government's decision, last year, to remove Huawei equipment from the network because of concerns over security and US sanctions. And only two other companies could supply the crucial technology, leading to fresh concerns about security and resilience. The government's 5G Supply Chain Diversification Strategy proposes using technology based around open standards. But the committee warned this was not a \"silver bullet\" and other options should be considered. And it wants a more detailed plan in the next three months. 'Supplier squeeze' But 5G was not the only emerging technology of critical importance to the UK's future, the committee said. And the problems with it were not a \"one-off\". AI and quantum computing could also bring significant benefits and threats, especially with growing divergence from China. And this required more work to avoid another \"supplier squeeze\". 'Faster rate' The committee called for a risk assessment and action plan in the next year. It wants the government to do more to actively manage research and development, driving the effort of industry and academia to meet long-term objectives. And it said there was a need to co-operate more with like-minded countries, for instance on diversifying the telecoms market. \"A lack of strategic foresight in 5G has seen the UK become dependent on only two vendors for a crucial technology,\" Greg Clark, who chairs the committee, said. \"We must learn from this experience to avoid making our economy and security vulnerable from a lack of acceptable alternatives in emerging technologies.\" \"As technologies develop at an ever faster rate, more time must not be lost.\"",

            "input": "By Clive ColemanLegal correspondent, BBC News Adam George, 11, claims Flambards Theme Park, in Cornwall, discriminated and failed to make reasonable adjustments for him under the Equality Act. Changing places toilets are required by an estimated 250,000 people in the UK who need extra specialist equipment. Flambards says it takes inclusion of all visitors seriously and has made adjustments to its toilets. The company says a permanent changing places toilet would cost over £40,000 - an expense that could affect jobs. Active lifestyle Adam, from Redruth in Cornwall, was born with a genetic condition that weakens his muscles, affects his speech and makes him a full-time wheelchair user. He also has autism. But none of this has held him back and he loves outdoor activities. His favourite place for a day out is the nearby Flambards Theme Park in Helston. His mother, Rachel, says: \"He loves rides. He loves things that go up and down and move him suddenly. \"He can't climb, he can't walk, he can't jump, he can't run, so all of the physical sensations that are well known to be vital to a child's developments are out of Adam's bounds, so a theme park enables him to have so many of those vital experiences.\" In order to use the toilet Adam has to be hoisted on to a table, then on to the loo. He then needs to be hoisted back on to a large changing table. Converted horse-box Rachel is a member of the group Changing Places, which aims to increase access for those who need the extra space, hoists and changing tables provided in these toilet facilities. In the past 11 years, the group has successfully seen more than 1,000 of the toilets installed across the country. Flambards, though, doesn't have a toilet with changing facilities suitable for Adam's needs, so when the family visit, they need to hire a Mobiloo. This is a large converted horse-box with the space and equipment Adam requires, but it can cost up to £350. Under the Equality Act 2010, all service providers are under a duty to make \"reasonable adjustments\" to ensure that, as far as possible, disabled people enjoy the same experience as the non-disabled. Rachel recognises that it is not reasonable to expect small cafes and shops to provide changing places toilets. But she says: \"A place like Flambards, a theme park, where they expect people to arrive in the morning, stay all day, eat, drink, stay late for the fireworks show, I personally think it reasonable that I can use the toilet when I go there. \"So why shouldn't Adam? Why shouldn't all disabled people be able to have their toileting needs met with dignity and safety?\" Adam's case claims that Flambards has discriminated against him and failed to make \"reasonable adjustments\" for his needs. It is believed to be the first case brought on whether the provision of a changing places toilet is \"reasonable\". It raises the question of what is \"reasonable\" in terms of cost for a business to incur in order to comply with the Equality Act. What is a 'reasonable adjustment'? Richard Smith, general manager at Flambards, says there are limits. \"Inclusivity is important to us to make sure that everyone has access to our park and the rides,\" says Mr Smith. \"However, there is an overall cost to put in a full-on changing places unit, and we've been quoted in excess of £40,000. That would have an effect on jobs possibly.\" As an interim measure, Flambards has installed a mobile hoist and a changing bed in an existing disabled toilet. \"We're getting feedback from the disabled community on what's working and what's not, so we can carry on developing the structures we have in place,\" Mr Smith adds. But Mrs George says the size of the toilet at Flambards and the equipment do not meet Adam's needs, and that she was not consulted when the park put in the new equipment. She also disputes the £40,000 cost of a changing places loo, claiming one could be put in for closer to £10,000. The Georges' solicitor, Chris Fry, of Fry Law, sees their legal challenge as part of a shift in society's understanding of disability. \"This case is part of an evolution in awareness of disability rights and how to enforce them,\" says Mr Fry. \"Adam's growing up in a more inclusive culture where disabled people quite rightly expect more for their money - if a venue advertises itself as accessible then it really should be fully accessible. \"This is a more inclusive world than it was, where a business can afford to provide the same service to everyone, society should expect them to do it.\" Robert Meadowcroft, chief executive of charity Muscular Dystrophy UK, said: \"Access to toilets is something that a lot of people take for granted, and it is shocking that families need to bring cases like this forward just to safeguard their children's dignity. \"We need to see building regulations changed so that all new buildings over a certain size - including theme parks - include changing places facilities.\" Adam just wants to spend days out with his friends, but whether he can depends in part on what the law decides is \"reasonable\" for others to provide in enabling him to go to the toilet.",

            "input": "The typical price of £260,000 grew at the fastest rate for nearly four years. The Office for National Statistics (ONS) said prices rose strongly across the UK, with Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland all picking up pace. London, where prices were up 18.7%, remains the driving force behind the housing revival. But excluding London and the South East of England, the cost of a home was still 6.3% higher than 12 months before. The governor of the Bank of England said he would take prompt action, if action was needed. Writing in the Bank's annual report, Mark Carney said: \"We will not hesitate to take further proportionate and graduated action as warranted,\" Carney said. He added that the Bank's Financial Policy Committee, which is meeting today, had announced measures in November to reduce stimulus to the housing market.\" Other surveys In March, the ONS calculated that the annual rate of increase had fallen back slightly to 8%, so the April figures shows the market accelerating once again. April house price inflation was 10.4% in England, 3.3% in Wales, 4.8% in Scotland and 2.6% in Northern Ireland - all higher than the previous month. First-time buyers continue to experience more rapid price increases than people moving house. Business correspondent Andy Verity writes: A rise in London house prices of 18.7% in the year to April is more than 20 times as fast as the average rise in pay (up 0.9%). Even if you strip out London and the south-east of England, prices nationally are up 6.3%. We need a reliable measure of what house price inflation is doing to the cost of living. Do we have it? Not exactly. The ONS leaves housing costs out of its Consumer Price Index on the grounds that a house is an asset, not something you consume. But for many people - especially younger people - housing costs are by far their biggest single cost. The ONS answer until now has been to produce another statistic, CPIH, which includes housing costs. Yet, even as house prices roared away, CPIH didn't rise but actually dropped, from 1.6% to 1.4%. How? Because it measures owner-occupiers' housing costs by looking at what they would pay if they rented. Not the mortgages people actually pay. And the numbers assume that housing costs make up just 15% of the average expenditure. But ask young people whether they spend just 15% on housing - and you'll get a funny look. Many older people may have paid off their mortgages. The statistics mask gaping differences between the generations. Perhaps younger people could use an alternative measure of the cost of living that reflects their reality - where housing costs are by far the biggest burden. 'Trapped' Campbell Robb, the chief executive of Shelter, said: \"Each rise in prices means more people stuck living in their childhood bedrooms, or trapped in the cycle of moving from one expensive rented home to the next. \"This is a problem that the government can fix. We need a new generation of quality part-buy, part-rent homes, and to make sure that small builders can get hold of the land and finance necessary to build them. The ONS reports its figures a month later than other organisations, though the calculation is based on the widest sample of mortgages. The Halifax has already estimated May's year-on-year increase at 8.7%. The Nationwide building society said May saw an annual rise of more than 11%, although it suggested that the market might be coming off the boil. Last week, Chancellor George Osborne announced plans to give the Bank of England the power to impose a cap on home loans related to income or the value of the house. At present, the Bank can advise on such a cap, but not impose it. The new power should be in place before the end of this Parliament in 2015, the chancellor said.",

At 182m (597ft) the statue would be a memorial to Indian Independence hero Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel and twice as high as New York's Statue of Liberty. The tallest statue in the world is China's Spring Temple Buddha at 128m. The projected is expected to cost $266m (£162m) and proposals have to be submitted by 11 July. Sardar Patel, generally called the \"Iron Man of India\", played a major role in the country's fight for independence from British rule. He was a close friend and ally of Mahatma Gandhi and became the first home minister of independent India. Controversial minister A memorial to Patel in the state of Gujarat has been planned for some time. A post from Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi's official blog in October 2010 said the memorial would be called the \"Statue of Unity\" and would be a \"source of inspiration\". He says it will also have a \"high-tech museum, chronicling 90 years' history of India's freedom fighters\" and will be developed as a research centre for \"preserving the unity and integrity of India\". \"Thus, it would be standing high not just in meters and feet but much more in terms of academic, historical, national and spiritual values,\" he added. The chief minister has said he expects the project to be complete in three years. Narendra Modi is a controversial figure who has been credited for bringing prosperity and development to the state of Gujarat but who has also been accused of complicity in some of the worst religious riots in recent Indian history. \"If Mr Modi really wants to show his respect for Sardar Patel, he should spend this money on the upliftment of those living below the poverty line and on improving the infrastructure,\" Mahesh Pandya, director of Paryavaran Mitra (Friends of the Environment), based in the Gujarati city of Ahmedabad, told the AFP news agency. \"Such an expenditure on erecting a statue cannot be justified in a scenario when people are dying of hunger and poverty,\" Mr Pandya said.",

Voters were missed off registration and two voted who were not eligible to. The leader of the Staffordshire council has apologised for the shortcomings. Labour's Paul Farrelly got 21,124 votes in the election on 8 June to win the Newcastle-under-Lyme seat, narrowly holding off Conservative Owen Meredith who polled 21,094. Mr Farrelly has described the issues on polling day as a \"shambles\" which left some people, including students, unable to vote. But in its independent investigation into events leading up to and around the election, the Association of Electoral Administrators said the outcome could not be challenged. Conceding it was \"impossible not to question the result\" for the winning candidate which could have increased or gone down, the official deadline to challenge results - 21 days - had passed. Council leader Elizabeth Shenton, said: \"I sincerely apologise on behalf of the council for that situation but we can't turn the clock back and right any wrong that occurred at that time.\" 'Inadequate performance' A \"complex picture of administrative mistakes around registration and postal voting processes\" meant first-time voters, including students and postal voters - including people aged in their 80s using the system for the first time - were unable to vote. There was an \"inadequate performance by inexperienced and under-resourced elections office staff\", the report found. Tom Snape, chairman of Keele Students' Union, said he hoped the students turned away were now more determined to vote next time. \"There was a huge amount of communication coming through the students' union from students who had registered to vote - due to a campaign that we were running to get students to register - and had simply just been unable to at all. It was unprecedented.\" Personnel changes in office staff before the election also contributed to problems. Mr Sellgren was also acting returning officer for the election. Ultimately, 500 postal voters were disenfranchised, nearly 1,000 potential electors were not included on the voting register and two were able to vote who were not eligible to. The report makes 16 recommendations to the council as well as some to the Electoral Commission and government over wider election issues. The full council will discuss the findings next week.

            "input": "By Katie WrightBBC News The bin? The food waste? The compost heap? Other recycling? Landfill, up until recently, would have been the correct answer because teabags have traditionally been sealed with a very small amount of plastic - made from oil. That is now changing, with many companies looking to find a more eco-friendly alternative. But have some gone too far with their claims? Clipper, the UK's sixth biggest tea brand, declares its bags \"plastic free\". But when you look at the small print it says the company uses a bio-plastic to seal the bags - made from plant material rather than oil. When the BBC pointed out that some experts consider bio-plastic to still be a type of plastic, Clipper said it would update its website to make the information clearer. It now says the material it uses, known as PLA (polylactic acid), is \"not a plastic in the way we believe people most commonly think of plastics\". Clipper boxes are still labelled \"plastic-free\". Prof Mark Miodownik, a materials specialist at University College London, says most plastics are made from petrochemicals, but some - known as bio-plastics - are created using plant-based materials, such as corn or potato. According to him, PLA - the sealant used by Clipper - is a plastic and \"in this case it is still a single-use plastic\". Clipper says the material is \"entirely natural, biodegradable and much more environmentally friendly\". A spokeswoman added: \"Although a bio-polymer could technically be described as a bio-plastic, it is very different to the oil-based plastics which people are rightly concerned about.\" What do other tea companies say? Out of the UK's six biggest tea brands, the only other company that says its standard teabag is plastic free is Pukka - which says it uses a stitch of cotton instead of heat-sealing its bags. Based on annual sales 1. Twinings£107.9m 2. PG Tips£98.7m 3. Yorkshire£97.6m 4. Tetley£89.8m 5. Pukka£22.6m 6. Clipper£13.2m Yorkshire Tea announced last month that it was hoping to release new renewable and biodegradable teabags by the end of November. Its first attempt last year was \"a bit of a disaster\" - its own words, and the view of social media - with bags falling apart in people's cups. It was keen to stress that the new bags, designed in conjunction with Sheffield University, would be \"industrially compostable\" - but not plastic free. That means the bags can be put in the food or garden waste bin collected by your local council, but not home compost heaps, which don't get hot enough to break down the bags. Like Clipper, Yorkshire Tea will also use PLA - changing from its current oil-based sealant to a PLA made from renewable corn starch. In what appears to be a small jibe at other companies, it says plastic-free is \"a term you have probably read elsewhere\", but Yorkshire Tea \"wouldn't feel quite right using it\" as the bags contain a bio-plastic and \"that's technically still a kind of plastic\". A spokesman from Twinings agreed that there had been \"some debate\" within the industry as to how best to describe the plant fibre PLA. Teapigs, which says on its website that its \"tea temples have NEVER contained plastic\", confirmed to the BBC they contained PLA from corn starch. Abel & Cole removed a page from its website about its \"plastic-free tea bags\" after being contacted by the BBC. A spokeswoman said the information was not accurate and it was an old blog post. Helen Bird, from sustainability campaign group Wrap, said \"false claims\" were often made about \"so-called plastic-free packaging, when in fact it was still plastic, albeit designed to be compostable\". A rundown of the biggest brands: Twinings PG Tips Yorkshire Tea Tetley Pukka Clipper 100 millioncups drunk daily 36 billioncups drunk every year 96%comes from a tea bag So is bio-plastic more eco-friendly than conventional plastic? The term \"bio-plastic\" causes confusion, according to Wrap, but it simply means the plastic does not come from a fossil-based source. The sustainability campaign group says it needs to be separated from the word \"compostable\", because bio-plastics and oil-based plastics can both be compostable - the key difference is bio-plastic comes from a renewable resource. Under the UK Plastics Pact, which is being led by Wrap, the focus has been on urging companies to switch to compostable materials for teabags. The pact says teabags containing plastic are problematic because they can contaminate compost when they are recycled with food waste - often consumers don't realise they have plastic in them. Sian Sutherland, co-founder of environmental campaign group A Plastic Planet, said compostable bio-plastics were \"the antithesis of plastic\". \"They compost down in a matter of weeks after use and come from sustainable natural sources that are a million miles away from the petrochemical plants that have done such damage to our natural world,\" she said. However, like oil-based plastics, if bio-plastics end up in the ocean they can present a danger to marine life because they \"won't biodegrade in the ocean\", said Prof Jenna Jambeck, an environmental engineer at the University of Georgia. In a National Geographic study of bio-plastics, she said PLA \"can be composted in an industrial facility, but if the town doesn't have one, then it's not any different\" to conventional oil-based plastic. Other environmental issues to consider, according to a 2015 United Nations report, surround where the bio-plastic is grown - including the amount of land it uses, and whether it diverts land away from food production or biodiversity. If you are feeling a little confused about whether bio-plastic is a better option than oil-based ones, then you are not alone. Prof Jambeck said bio-based plastics \"have benefits\" but it was \"a big question based on many 'ifs'\".",

The Trump administration struck an optimistic note on Friday, saying it hoped to distribute 20 million doses of an approved vaccine in December, and for each month after that - although vaccines have yet to get official approval.

The lack of cooperation is \"totally irresponsible\", he said. On Monday, in a major new development, US drug company Moderna said its Covid-19 vaccine was nearly 95% effective according to early results. A similar announcement earlier this month about another vaccine - from the companies Pfizer and BioNTech - sent stock markets soaring amid hopes that life could return to normal next year. Mr Biden celebrated the developments, but cautioned that distributing a vaccine to Americans is \"a huge, huge, undertaking\". Even without coordination between the president and the president-elect, aides to Mr Biden have said his team would nonetheless start talking to vaccine manufacturers. President Donald Trump on Monday celebrated the news and appeared to claim credit for the vaccine progress, writing on Twitter that these \"great developments...all took place on my watch\". Mr Trump has ruled out putting the nation into lockdown, but many states are introducing their own restrictions as fast rising cases threaten to overwhelm their healthcare systems. How worried are the state governors? Michigan, Washington State and California have seen Covid cases double in recent weeks. Michigan's Governor Gretchen Whitmer said the state was \"at the precipice\" and could soon suffer 1,000 coronavirus-related deaths a week unless action is taken. As well as suspending in-person teaching and indoor dining, Ms Whitmer also ordered the closure of public entertainment venues for a period of three weeks. The curbs announced in Washington State come into effect on Monday evening and will last a month. \"Today, Sunday, November 15, 2020, is the most dangerous public health day in the last 100 years of our state's history,\" Governor Jay Inslee said. \"A pandemic is raging in our state. Left unchecked, it will assuredly result in grossly overburdened hospitals and morgues; and keep people from obtaining routine but necessary medical treatment for non-Covid conditions.\" On Monday, California Governor Gavin Newsom said he was pulling the \"emergency brake\", bringing more than 94% of the population under the strictest coronavirus guidance. In these counties, indoor restaurant spaces, worship spaces and gyms will be closed. Mr Newsom said he is also considering a state curfew to help slow the spread. He also apologised on Monday for his \"bad mistake\" in attending a lobbyist's birthday party that violated his own coronavirus-prevention rules. It emerged on Friday that he and his wife attended the celebration on 6 November at a Michelin-starred restaurant in wine country near San Francisco. \"The spirit of what I'm preaching all the time was contradicted,\" Mr Newsom said. \"I need to preach and practise, not just preach.\" California on Friday became the second state, after Texas, to hit one million Covid cases, prompting local officials to hit pause on reopening efforts. What's the situation elsewhere in the US? In other developments: Concerns as another holiday approaches Outbreaks in the spring and summer followed US schools' spring breaks and the national Labor Day holiday weekend - and now experts are concerned that as Thanksgiving approaches on 26 November, the spikes will again worsen. That is the situation playing out across the border in Canada, where people celebrated their Thanksgiving a month ago. The country's top doctors say that the holiday is partly why cities and provinces are now seeing record infections. Data shows that the majority of the US has rising \"community spread\" of the virus - situations where people get the virus without any known contact with a sick person. Indoor gatherings pose a large risk to spreading the virus, and as the holiday centres around eating together, wearing masks is not feasible. One analysis from Georgia Institute of Technology researchers found the risk of having a Covid-positive individual at even a gathering of 10 people could be close to 100% in the worst-hit parts of the US. Back in October, top infectious diseases expert Dr Anthony Fauci cautioned that the \"sacred\" American tradition of gathering together at Thanksgiving was \"a risk\". \"You may have to bite the bullet and sacrifice that social gathering, unless you're pretty certain that the people that you're dealing with are not infected,\" Dr Fauci told CBS News.",

However, Mr FitzGerald rejected the offer The exchanges are contained in files in Dublin's national archives released under the 30-year rule. In exchanges at a crucial summit ahead of the Anglo-Irish Agreement, Mrs Thatcher argued that giving Dublin an official role in the running of the region would plunge it into civil war. The files reveal that she told Mr FitzGerald in the November 1984 talks that resolving the crisis could mean \"simply\" moving the border. \"She wondered if a possible answer to the problem might not simply be a redrawing of boundaries,\" records an official note of the meeting. However, Mr FitzGerald rejected the apparent offer. \"What we have achieved at present is a lowering of expectations,\" he said. 'Incomprehension' The pair later discussed a federal, Belgium-style model. Mr FitzGerald said the Irish government had worked on dampening hopes among some for an end to Northern Ireland as it was constituted. The secret files include an official note of the two-hour Chequers summit, which show Mrs Thatcher's \"incomprehension\" as to what Irish nationalists wanted. Mr FitzGerald explained that the minority felt Irish and part of the majority of the island of Ireland \"from which they had been cut off by an arbitrary act\". He said the British had drawn a line around Northern Ireland, creating a Protestant majority, cutting off the minority from the rest of the island, and people were \"set against each other within a narrow space\". He said Mrs Thatcher needed to deal with the alienation of northern nationalists. He pressed her for a new system of governing Northern Ireland, based on agreed policies between the UK's secretary of state and an Irish government minister. Mr FitzGerald said where they could not agree, decisions would be appealed to the Prime Minister and the Taoiseach. However, Mrs Thatcher \"reacted strongly\" to the plan, according to the Irish government files. \"No, no - that is joint authority. You are giving them 40% of our country,\" she said. Consequences During exchanges, described by those at the meeting as rapid and vigorous, Mrs Thatcher fretted about the wider consequences of addressing Catholic alienation in relation to ethnic minorities in Britain. She said: \"If these things were done, the next question would be what comes next? Were the Sikhs in Southall to be allowed to fly their own flag?\" Mr FitzGerald said there had been agreement on an Irish government role in running Northern Ireland, adding that he could not ask the Republic of Ireland to give up its territorial claim over it without such a deal. But Mrs Thatcher said: \"It smacks too much of joint authority. That was definitely out.\" \"The unionists would say you are giving up your constitutional claims but you are coming across the border and don't really need the claim. That would put us well on the way to civil war,\" she added. Discussing a suggestion from Mr FitzGerald of a Belgium-style solution - a federal arrangement under a monarchy - Mrs Thatcher said she \"had not ruled it out, even though it would be attacked by unionists as an effective repartition\". She added: \"History shows that the Irish, whether the Scottish-Irish or the Irish-Irish, don't like to move. However, they all seem to be terribly happy to move to Britain.\" Mrs Thatcher also complained there was too much public-sector employment in Northern Ireland, there was no wealth creation and that it was costing London £2bn a year in subventions at the time. She was also worried about a threat of more violence as a result of the Anglo-Irish talks. \"There was a real danger that a Marxist society could develop,\" she added.",

Across the border in Pakistan the authorities are preparing to battle rising rivers threatening Multan city. The death toll in the two countries has passed 450 and is growing by the day. 'Stone-pelting' In Indian-administered Kashmir there have been isolated attacks by furious flood victims on rescue teams who have asked for armed escorts. There have been reports of residents pelting soldiers with stones, but army officials told local media that they understood that people were desperate and rescue work would continue unabated. People in the area have complained to local media of a delayed response, accusing the government of not appreciating the severity of the disaster early enough, failing to provide regular briefings and insufficient rescue boats. The BBC's Simon Atkinson in Srinagar reports that the road to the city's airport remains under water and on streets which are passable, convoys of lorries packed with groups of men gathering water, food and firewood have become a common sight. He adds that the water levels of Dal lake, Srinagar's tourist centre famous for its British colonial-era houseboats, continues to rise despite the rain easing over the last few days. Hundreds of thousands of people in the region are still thought to be stranded. Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah said he understood the anger of the people in the wake of this \"unprecedented catastrophe\". But he dismissed criticism of the government's handling of the flood crisis, saying: \"Our entire effort has been focused on ensuring that we have adequate assets to rescue people.\" Embankment to be blown In Pakistan authorities are monitoring the rising levels of the river Chenab, with plans in place to blow the embankment at two strategic places in order to protect the city of Multan. Multan, one of Pakistan's largest cities, is in Punjab province which has been taking the brunt of the rain and flooding in Pakistan in recent days. One spot that could be breached is an embankment north of the city which would prevent waters from destroying a crucial bridge and overrunning the eastern part of Multan. This would mean the evacuation of some 8,000 people living along the river. The second point is south of the city but the BBC's M Ilyas Khan in Islamabad says these are all difficult decisions for the authorities as the breaches could affect parts of a military cantonment, a major oil refinery, an industrial estate or even parts of Muzaffargarh city, which has been put on high alert. On Monday the authorities breached another strategic dyke in flood-affected Punjab to ease pressure on flood defences downstream and protect urban areas. More than 700,000 villagers have been forced to flee their homes. Much of the water is reaching Pakistan from Indian-administered Kashmir, where flood levels are now falling. Floods caused by monsoon rains are an annual event in South Asia and a series of dams on major rivers are aimed at protecting urban areas in particular from being hit by floods.",

The company said it had developed a fix and an update would be rolled out this week. In the meantime, Apple's status page shows it has disabled the ability for users to make group calls on FaceTime. The flaw, first revealed by the 9to5Mac blog, appears to occur when both users are running version 12.1 of Apple's mobile operating system iOS, or newer. It also affects Mac users when they are called from an iPhone. The technique involves using the software's group chat function, apparently confusing the software into activating the target's microphone, even if the call has not been accepted. The eavesdropping ends when the call is cut after too many rings. 'National Privacy Day' In addition to audio, 9to5Mac reported that pressing buttons to block the call or turn off the device would result in video being sent to the call-maker, without the recipient's knowledge. In a statement, Apple told journalists: “We’re aware of this issue and we have identified a fix that will be released in a software update later this week.” On social media, concerned users - including Twitter chief executive Jack Dorsey - suggested disabling the FaceTime function altogether, which can be done via the device's settings menu. Discovery of the flaw coincided with National Privacy Day in the US, a day heralded by Apple boss Tim Cook. “On this #DataPrivacyDay let us all insist on action and reform for vital privacy protections,” he wrote on Twitter. “The dangers are real and the consequences are too important.” New York governor Andrew Cuomo advised his state's residents \"to disable their FaceTime app until a fix is made available\", He said: \"The FaceTime bug is an egregious breach of privacy that puts New Yorkers at risk. \"In New York, we take consumer rights very seriously and I am deeply concerned by this irresponsible bug that can be exploited for unscrupulous purposes.\" Apple also recently made a big play of its privacy credentials at the recent CES tech expo in Las Vegas. The company did not attend but placed a billboard near the event, reading: \"What happens on your iPhone, stays on your iPhone.\" The timing of the revelations about the bug is awkward for Apple, which is due to announce its latest earning report on Tuesday.

Two Pussy Riot members are now serving prison terms in remote penal colonies. The bill says blasphemy could incur up to three years in jail or a fine of up to 300,000 roubles ($9,700;£6,300). 'Historical inheritance' Russian commentators say the bill appears to have strong backing from Mr Putin. It was passed by the Duma - Russia's lower house - in a first reading on Tuesday. To become law it has to pass two more readings in the Duma, then a vote in the upper house - the Federation Council - and get a final sign-off by Mr Putin. The entire parliament is dominated by Mr Putin's supporters. The text refers to offences against religions that are \"an integral part of Russia's historical inheritance\" - implying that it covers Christianity, Islam, Judaism and Buddhism. Last August two Pussy Riot performers - Maria Alyokhina and Nadezhda Tolokonnikova - were sentenced to two years each in jail for \"hooliganism motivated by religious hatred\" over their obscenity-laced \"punk prayer\" against Mr Putin. The sentences provoked widespread international condemnation. Human rights activists and some critics of the new anti-blasphemy bill in the Duma say its wording is too vague and could lead to unjustified prosecutions. Yuri Sinelshchikov, a Communist MP and former prosecutor, warned that it could provoke \"an outburst of combative atheism, in its most aggressive form, and enmity between believers and non-believers\". Some human rights activists warned that \"insults to believers\" might include the teaching of Darwin's theory of evolution or the Big Bang theory about the universe.

            "input": "The Office for National Statistics said borrowing hit £31.6bn last month, the highest November figure on record. It was also the third-highest figure in any month since records began in 1993. The figures highlight the government's spending-revenue gap, and underline Chancellor Rishi Sunak's problems as he weighs up bolstering Treasury coffers. Since the beginning of the financial year in April, borrowing has reached £240.9bn, £188.6bn more than a year ago, the ONS said. A Budget had been expected to take place in autumn this year, but it was delayed because of the pandemic and will now take place on 3 March 2021. The independent Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) has estimated that borrowing could reach £372.2bn by the end of the financial year in March. However, Mr Sunak made clear on Tuesday that he would not be taking any hasty action. \"When our economy recovers, it's right that we take the necessary steps to put the public finances on a more sustainable footing so we are able to respond to future crises in the way we have done this year,\" he said. Mr Sunak has already imposed a pay freeze on at least 1.3 million public sector workers as part of efforts to contain government spending. The increase in borrowing has led to a steep increase in the national debt, which now stands at just under £2.1 trillion. The UK's overall debt has now reached 99.5% of gross domestic product (GDP) - a level not seen since the early 1960s. Where does the government borrow? The government borrows in the financial markets, by selling bonds. A bond is a promise to make payments to whoever holds it on certain dates. There is a large payment on the final date - in effect, the repayment. The buyers of these bonds, or \"gilts\", are mainly financial institutions, like pension funds, investment funds, banks and insurance companies. Private savers also buy some. You can read more here about how countries borrow money. \"We are looking at the highest peacetime deficit and if we look at where the country's debt is, then we are at the highest levels since the 1960s,\" said Sarah Hewin, chief economist at Standard Chartered. \"In November alone, borrowing was about six times what it was in November last year, so these are some absolutely record numbers that we are seeing. \"Also, of course, the furlough scheme has been extended, so that will increase government spending. We could well see the deficit for the financial year all the way up to 20% of GDP, so around £400bn.\" Separately, the ONS has also revised its figures for the UK's economic growth this year. The economy shrank a little less in the April-to-June period than previously indicated, by 18.8% instead of 19.8%. And the rebound from July to September was a little bigger, with growth of 16% instead of 15.5%. Ruth Gregory, senior UK economist at Capital Economics, said a double-dip recession was a clear possibility if the tier four Covid-19 restrictions were extended into 2021. However, she said there was optimism that as long as vaccines were effective and widespread, GDP would \"stage a strong rebound\" in the second half of next year. Double-dip recession? The extraordinary pandemic shutdown borrowing numbers had begun to recover. But last month, as some restrictions were reapplied across the UK, the government borrowed £31.6bn, the third-highest month on record. This was £26bn higher than last November, driven mainly by a £23bn increase in government spending on a year ago, including the reapplication of the full jobs wage subsidy furlough scheme. Borrowing so far this financial year since April is already at a record £240bn and set to hit about £400bn over the full year. Growth in the economy in the third quarter was a little higher than first calculated, at a record 16%, but that now is firmly old news. The likely spread of new restrictions on retail and hospitality and multiple forms of chaos at ports mean forecasters fear the UK may already be back in a double-dip recession.",

One widow told the BBC a nurse came to assess her husband the day after he died. NHS England said improvements had been made but the process could be \"more efficient\". Continuing healthcare (CHC) is a funding package given to people with severe health and social care needs, such as Alzheimer's or Parkinson's, but who are not in hospital. Applications should take no longer than 28 days to deal with, but clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) revealed 3,400 people died in 2017-18 while awaiting a decision on their application. The BBC obtained information from 185 out of 198 CCGs about the outcome of CHC applications received in the last financial year. Figures from NHS England show that last year, nearly 150,000 CHC assessments were carried out. A third of assessments resulted in the applicant being told they were not eligible for funding. 'I relived my husband's suffering' Sue Ellis from Gloucestershire cared for her husband Bob, who had Parkinson's disease, before he died in November 2014. An assessment of his case was carried out the day after he died. \"It was ludicrous really,\" Mrs Ellis said. \"The nurse sat down and said 'where is your husband?'\" \"In Bob's final months I had to do everything for him and I was left exhausted. His case was retrospectively assessed, which was horrendous, having to relive my husband's suffering. And then at the end of it all (Wiltshire) CGC rejected the application. \"Quite frankly if I'd known what the outcome would been I wouldn't have bothered with the whole process\". A spokeswoman said Wiltshire CCG could not comment on individual cases. Most adults in England have to pay some of all of the costs of any care they receive. Many applicants are often seeking end of life care. Being awarded CHC funding means the NHS pays for things such as care at home or in a nursing home. A report by the National Audit Office in 2017 found that providing CHC cost the NHS more than £3bn a year. Matina Loizou from the charity Parkinson's UK said: \"The fact that families are notified about the outcome of their application after their loved one has died is as tragic as it is ludicrous. \"We know from calls to our helpline that the application process can be a very isolating and hopeless experience, and the impact on families can be immense. Quite often, assets like houses have to be sold, or spouses or relatives have to quit their jobs to be full-time carers.\" Recent improvements More people are expected to apply for funding in future as a result of an ageing population. In January the House of Commons Public Accounts Committee warned that plans to make £855m of efficiency savings in continuing and NHS-funded nursing care by 2020-21, could result in fewer people being awarded funding in the future. A spokeswoman for NHS England said: \"Spending on continuing healthcare is going up as more people are being supported but it's local GP led groups that undertake eligibility assessments, using the National Framework for Continuing Healthcare. \"While there have been recent improvements in practice, there is potential to make the process more efficient and effective for patients, as the majority of people put through an assessment turn out not to need it.\"",

Mr Puigdemont, who is wanted in Spain for sedition and rebellion, was detained by German police acting on a European arrest warrant. He appeared before a German judge on Monday and was remanded in custody. Prosecutor Georg-Friedrich Guentge said Mr Puigdemont \"appeared calm and composed\". Mr Puigdemont was detained while crossing from Denmark on his way to Belgium, where he has been living in self-imposed exile since Catalonia's parliament unilaterally declared independence from Spain in October. A European warrant for his arrest was reissued on Friday. Who is protesting? In central Barcelona, protesters chanted \"Freedom for the political prisoners\" and \"This Europe is shameful!\" as they headed to the offices of the European Commission and the German consulate. Spanish news agency Efe estimated crowds of 55,000 in the centre of the city. Smaller demonstrations were held in Girona, where Mr Puigdemont once served as mayor, Tarragona and Lleida. Some protesters also formed road blocks in various locations. Tensions in Catalonia are very high and its separatist leaders abandoned plans to name a new president after the arrest on Friday of the latest candidate, Jordi Turull, sparked protests in Barcelona. Spain's Supreme Court has ruled 25 that Catalan leaders should be tried for rebellion, embezzlement or disobeying the state. They all deny the allegations. How was Carles Puigdemont caught? German police said that Mr Puigdemont was detained by a highway patrol in the northern state of Schleswig-Holstein, which borders Denmark. He had been on a trip to Finland to meet lawmakers and attend a conference last week when the arrest warrant against him was reissued, taking him by surprise. He slipped out of Finland before the authorities could arrest him but only got as far as Germany before being intercepted. His spokesman, Joan Maria Pique, said he had been heading to Belgium \"to put himself, as always, at the disposal of Belgian justice\". International warrants for Mr Puigdemont and other Catalan leaders were withdrawn in December by a Spanish judge, who said they had shown a willingness to return to the country. What happens next? Mr Puigdemont spent Sunday night in a prison in the north German town of Neumünster. His court appearance there on Monday was a formality to confirm his identity. The court remanded him in custody pending extradition proceedings. Mr Puigdemont faces charges of sedition, rebellion and misappropriation of public funds in Spain as a result of his role in last year's Catalan banned independence referendum. The charges in Spain could result in up to 30 years in prison. Germany has 60 days to decide whether to return him. In order to do so, its judges need to assess whether the Spanish charges are punishable under German law. Criminal lawyer Martin Heger told Germany's Spiegel website (in German) that the lesser charge of misappropriation of public funds was also a crime under German law, and therefore it was clear that the exiled ex-leader would have to be extradited. However, if he is extradited on that charge, he can only be tried on that offence. It is unclear whether the alleged crimes of rebellion and sedition are punishable in Germany. The extradition procedure can last about two months. Mt Puigdemont also has the right to oppose the warrant and apply for asylum in Germany. Spain's latest move is considered the most serious challenge to date to the Catalan independence movement. Almost the entire leadership now faces a major legal fight. Various other Catalan politicians have been subjected to new warrants, including Catalonia's former education minister, Clara Ponsati. She is in Scotland, where she has a position at the University of St Andrews, and is preparing to hand herself in. The number of European arrest warrants issued has increased since 2005, according to EU figures. In 2015, about 16,000 warrants were issued and about 5,000 executed. How did we get here? 1 October 2017: The independence referendum takes place in Catalonia; it is deemed illegal by Spain and boycotted by many potential voters 27 October: Catalonia's leaders declare independence, which leads to the Spanish government imposing direct rule on the region and dissolving its parliament 30 October: Charges of rebellion, sedition and misuse of public funds are brought against various sacked members of the Catalan government, including Mr Puigdemont 2 November: Several former Catalan ministers are taken into custody in Spain 3 November: European arrest warrants are issued against Mr Puigdemont and four of his allies, who have all fled to Belgium 5 December: A Spanish judge withdraws the European arrest warrants but says the group still face possible charges for sedition and rebellion 21 December: Carles Puigdemont is re-elected to parliament during Catalan's regional elections - which Spanish PM Mariano Rajoy had called to \"restore democracy\" 1 March 2018: Mr Puigdemont says he is stepping aside and he backs detained activist Jordi Sanchez to run as Catalonia's president 21 March: Mr Sanchez drops his leadership bid and instead the candidacy is passed to Jordi Turull, who the following day is rejected by hardline separatists 23 March: Mr Turull and various others are arrested in Spain, and the European arrest warrants are reissued 25 March: Mr Puigdemont is detained in Germany",

Some fans have reacted angrily to the casting, but Fiennes said he thought Jackson was \"probably closer to my colour than his original colour\". Sky Arts said producers had \"creative freedom\" in the casting. Fiennes said he believed Jackson - who died in 2009 - had a \"pigmentation issue\" with his skin, so the issue of race should not come into play. 'Not malicious' But he told Entertainment Tonight: \"I'm a white, middle-class guy from London - I'm as shocked [about the casting] as you might be. \"It's a light comedy look. It's not in any way malicious. It's actually endearing. And the more I actually looked at Michael - it's great, as an actor, to have so much to copy and look at in interviews - the more I kind of fell in love with him.\" Describing the plot of the 30-minute programme - titled Elizabeth, Michael and Marlon - Fiennes said: \"Michael and two of his best buddies, Elizabeth Taylor and Marlon Brando, happened to be in New York the night before 9/11. \"It was a concert Michael was giving, and Brando was introducing him on stage. \"I don't know if this is an urban legend or if it's true, but the three of them couldn't get out because air space was shut down, so the three of them jumped in a car and went on a road trip.\" Stockard Channing, who is best known for her roles in TV drama The West Wing and musical film Grease, is playing Taylor in the comedy with Scottish actor Brian Cox starring as Brando. There has been a backlash on Twitter to the casting, with some using the hashtag #whitewashing and others claiming they thought the story was actually from satirical magazine The Onion. CNN entertainment reporter Chris Witherspoon posted a 1993 Jackson interview with Oprah Winfrey, in which he discussed rumours he had wanted a white child to play him in a TV commercial, telling the presenter: \"Why would I want a white child to play me? I'm a black American (...) I am proud of my race. I am proud of who I am.\" Angela Bassett, who played Tina Turner in biopic What's Love Got to Do With It, joked on Twitter she had \"ordered violet contacts\" and was \"ready\" to play Taylor after Sleepy Hollow star Orlando Jones suggested she play the actress. The story about the road trip first came to light in a 2011 Vanity Fair article, which quoted a former employee of Jackson as saying: \"They actually got as far as Ohio - all three of them, in a car they drove themselves!\" Brando was said to have annoyed his friends by wanting to stop at nearly every fast food restaurant they passed on the way. But one of Taylor's assistants dismissed the claims, saying the star had actually stayed in New York and visited Ground Zero in the days after the attack. The comedy will be broadcast later this year as part of a series on unlikely stories from the history of arts and culture.

            "input": "By Hannah RichardsonBBC News education reporter The latest predictions suggest 49 out of 152 councils will have more pupils than secondary places by 2019-20. Local Government Association analysis of official figures suggests 80,716 new secondary places will be required then. The Department for Education says it has provided local authorities with the funding they need for new places. It added: \"It is now up to them to spend this money efficiently and effectively.\" But the LGA said the crunch in primary schools meant that despite the creation of nearly 90,000 places in the past academic year, and the government committing £2.35bn in places funding for up to 2017, an extra 130,000 were needed before September 2017. Councils were already taking extraordinary measures to deal with the school places crisis, it said. One borough council, Reading, borrowed £35m privately to fund the expansion of 13 of its primary schools. Essex County Council topped up its government grants with £39m from its own resources while others have expanded existing schools on to second sites or \"annexes\" to create the places needed. David Simmonds, chairman of the LGA's children and young people board, said: \"As children move through primary school, securing new secondary places will become a significant issue. \"Mums and dads should know councils will do everything they can to create more school places and there are great examples of the work being done across the country. \"The challenge for councils is making sure places are delivered on time and in the right places, in a context where some of the decision making about new school places is now in the hands of the government.\" 'Bussing children' There is a presumption that new schools will be free schools or academies, which are outside local authorities' sphere of influence. It means local authorities do not have as much control over the creation of new schools and places as they once did, although they can invite bids for free schools and academies in their areas. In a report for the LGA on the planning of school places, Mr Simmonds added: \"There are real concerns that the 'easier solutions' have now been taken in the primary sector and dealing with the surge in demand for secondary school places will become more costly and complex. \"Councils are now looking to innovative solutions, with Surrey looking to drive down costs by working in a property cluster with neighbouring authorities. \"Bournemouth is considering the idea of village schools in former church halls or day centres. Less palatable solutions are also being contemplated, such as bussing children to different areas, building on split sites and even building on the green belt.\" The secondary school places shortage is just a few months a way in a handful of local authorities. In September, three local authorities will be over capacity; by 2015-16 it will be six and 36 in 2018-19. Councils are calling for information on school building funding in five-year cycles and for it to be in one funding pot. 'Resources wasted' They would also like to see the decision-making power on the provision of schools, including free schools, restored to local authorities, along with the power to open council-controlled community schools. A Department for Education spokesman said: \"We are giving local authorities £5bn to spend on new school places over this Parliament - double the amount allocated by the previous government over an equivalent period. \"This funding has already led to the creation of 260,000 new school places, all of which are in areas where there is a shortage of places, and many more new places are planned. We have also confirmed a further £2bn for basic need up to 2017.\" He added: \"Investment in free schools comes on top of the £5bn we are giving to local authorities to spend on basic need. Seven in 10 free school places are in areas of basic need.\" Natalie Evans, director of the New Schools Network, which supports the creation of free schools, said: \"Over two-thirds of free schools are being set up in areas where there is a shortage of school places and local authorities themselves are able to invite groups to come forward to set up new schools where that shortfall is particularly acute. 'Complacency' \"There are many good examples of local authorities working in partnership with groups setting up free schools, but too often authorities perceive these schools as a threat and end up being an unnecessary obstruction to a solution which would work for all.\" Kevin Brennan, shadow schools minister, said: \"David Cameron's government has displayed a shocking degree of complacency in responding to the need for new school places.\" He claimed two-thirds of all places created by the free schools programme were being diverted away from areas of high or severe need. Christine Blower, general secretary of the National Union of Teachers, said: \"Local councils find themselves having responsibility for providing places but with insufficient powers to plan, commission or build schools.\"",

During the 14 weeks, Sainsbury's opened six new supermarkets and 19 new convenience stores. It said it now had 500 convenience stores across the UK.

The film is being remade, produced by Tracy Oliver, who wrote Girls Trip, with a script by Marquita Robinson, who worked on Netflix's Glow. The original was a box office hit and spawned a TV spin-off, and a stage musical is about to open in New York. Alicia Silverstone played Cher in the original. No casting has been announced for the new version. Some film fans are excited to see what direction Oliver and Robinson would take it in. Many others were totally buggin' (translation: freaked out, upset, at a loss, confused). Here's what's happened to the main original cast members in the 23 years since the film was released. Alicia Silverstone Silverstone had more misses than hits in Hollywood after Clueless, and started a sideline as a clean-living guru. She published a health cookbook and a parenting book, in which she revealed she had her son Bear's placenta turned into pills, recommended not using tampons, and received criticism for claims about the medical benefits of a vegan diet. She has also launched a range of organic vitamins. She returned to the screen earlier this year in 1970s-set TV comedy American Woman - but it was cancelled after one season. Brittany Murphy Murphy played the misfit Tai in Clueless and went on to appear in Sin City, Girl, Interrupted and 8 Mile. However there was huge shock when she was found dead in 2009 at the age of just 32. The LA coroner ruled that she died of pneumonia, with iron-deficiency anaemia and \"multiple drug intoxication\" being secondary factors in her death. Stacey Dash Dash - Dionne in Clueless - became a controversial figure after swapping acting for becoming an outspoken pundit on Fox News and announcing her intention to run as a Republican candidate for Congress. She has hit the headlines for her stance on issues regarding race. In 2016, she called the #OscarsSoWhite boycott \"ludicrous\" and said there was no need for Black History Month. She withdrew from the Congress race in March, however, blaming the \"overall bitterness surrounding our political process\". Paul Rudd After his breakthrough as Cher's scruffy stepbrother Josh, Rudd has carved out the most successful career of them all, including roles in Anchorman, Knocked Up and This Is 40. His journey to Hollywood A-lister was completed when he joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Ant-Man for the film of the same name in 2015, for which he also co-wrote the script. And he starred in and co-wrote Ant-Man and the Wasp, which came out earlier this year. Follow us on Facebook, on Twitter @BBCNewsEnts, or on Instagram at bbcnewsents.

The town had 477.7 cases per 100,000 people in the week up to 31 January. Only Sandwell, near Birmingham, and Knowsley in Merseyside have higher rates. Despite its prominent position, rates of Covid-19 in the town are falling. The new figures represent a 16% decrease from the 567.7 cases per 100,000 leading up to 24 January. What are the authorities saying? Corby's Conservative MP Tom Pursglove says: \"We are all troubled by the news that in Corby we continue to see stubbornly higher Covid-19 case rates, that are taking longer than elsewhere to decline.\" Mr Pursglove is calling \"for urgent consideration to be given to introducing mass population testing in Corby, as we have seen in other parts of the country when faced with stubborn, disproportionately high figures at earlier points in the pandemic\". Consultant in Public Health at Northamptonshire County Council, Rhosyn Harris, says rates in Corby \"are of considerable concern\". \"They appear to be plateauing at a rate which remains high and it is worrying they are starting to rise again in some age groups,\" she adds, pointing specifically to over-60s. But she says the town's Community Lateral Flow Device Testing centre, which provides regular rapid testing for people without coronavirus symptoms, has enabled public health officials \"to find more positive cases\". The importance of regular testing is echoed by Teresa Auciello, sales director at Marlec Renewable Power, which makes wind turbines and solar panels. \"I would really encourage people to come and get the tests,\" she says. \"We're allowing our staff to do it at the beginning or the end of their shift.\" The manufacturing question On Thursday, the town was ranked as having the second-highest rate in England, amid warnings too many people were still going to work in manufacturing and distribution settings. Corby Borough Council leader Tom Beattie says the number of people continuing to go into work is \"one of the reasons, but a strong one\" for why rates are not falling more quickly. The Labour politician has previously written to Boris Johnson and raised the issue of at least one company bussing in agency staff from as far afield as London. However, the message from public health officials remains that community transmission is the biggest issue. Rhosyn Harris says there is \"anecdotal evidence households are continuing to mix\". MP Tom Pursglove adds the reason he wants mass testing is because transmission \"continues to still be mostly household related\". He says many employers \"have worked tirelessly to adhere to the 'Covid secure' guidelines\", but if certain businesses are \"a consistent source of spreading the virus\", they must be \"closed immediately\". What does it mean for businesses? At indoor skate park Adrenaline Alley, the pressure of the lockdown is very real. The charity is only open to elite British cycling athletes and founder Mandy Young says financial reserves will only go so far. \"We are just going day to day,\" she says. \"If we go into months and months of lockdowns that's going to have a massive effect.\" And Marlec's Teresa Auciello has an answer for those calling for government regulations around businesses to be reviewed: \"We really are doing everything we possibly can.\" Find BBC News: East of England on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.

He said the £14bn runway, which could be completed by 2026, would be funded entirely privately - but MPs warned that taxpayers would end up footing the bill for billions in road improvements and other upgrades and warned that the UK's carbon emission targets would be threatened by the increase in traffic around the enlarged airport. A decision - finally? The debate on expanding Heathrow has been going on for nearly 20 years. The last Labour government backed the idea, and won a vote on it in 2009, but that plan was scrapped - and the idea of expansion put on hold for five years - by the Conservative-Lib Dem coalition formed after the 2010 election. But the idea of expansion was resurrected and has been subsequently backed by the Conservatives. Ministers approved a draft national airports policy statement in October but Parliament has yet to give its approval for detailed planning to begin. Opponents have threatened a legal challenge while Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson, who is MP for Uxbridge and South Ruislip in west London, has vowed to \"lie down in front of bulldozers\" to prevent it. The BBC's assistant political editor Norman Smith said ministers whose constituencies would be directly affected might be given a \"get out of a jail card\" - by being allowed to miss the vote or even vote against. No 10 said Mrs May has written to ministers to say those with long-standing objections to a third runway will be permitted to restate their views at a local level, but not to campaign actively against the decision. 'So expensive': Why are critics opposed? Campaigners argue that a new runway will breach the UK's legal limits on air pollution and increase noise pollution with an extra 700 planes a day. It will result in huge disruption to residents of nearby villages, such as Longford, Harmondsworth and Sipson, with hundreds of homes likely to be knocked down. Robert Barnstone, from the No 3rd Runway Coalition, told the BBC it was a \"disappointing\" day and the government was \"failing people and failing the environment as well\". Former Transport Secretary Justine Greening, who backs expanding Gatwick instead, suggested the idea of Heathrow as a national hub airport was outdated and the focus should be on improving regional capacity. \"We are now moving to point-to-point travel,\" she told BBC Radio 4's Today. \"Why should people who are living in Newcastle spend hours travelling down to London, then fly out somewhere else? \"There is nothing national about this national policy statement. It is just a runway in Heathrow.\" And Tory MP Zac Goldsmith, who resigned his Richmond Park seat in 2016 over the issue and subsequently lost a by-election, said for many people \"this doesn't just look like a blank cheque being given by this government to a foreign-owned multinational, it looks like a whole book of cheques signed by our constituents\". 'Right for UK PLC' Heathrow's owners, which include Spanish infrastructure firm Ferrovial, say the airport is virtually full and a new runway would increase its capacity from 85.5 million to 130 million passengers. The expansion is estimated to create about 60,000 new jobs and generate about £70bn in total economic benefits by the 2050s. Mr Grayling said it would provide a \"vital legacy\" for the British economy and said he had accepted 24 out of the 25 recommendations made by the Transport Select Committee to improve the plans. Residents whose houses are knocked down will get compensation worth 125% of their value - as well as legal fees and stamp duty costs paid for - while £700m would be available to fund noise insulation measures for those who decide to stay. He said a ban on night flights was an \"absolute requirement\" and non-negotiable while he said landing charges paid by airlines must stay at current levels. \"This runway cannot be built if it does not meet air quality rules,\" he added. Sir Howard Davies, whose 2015 review recommended a new runway as long as environmental and community impacts were addressed, said \"significant\" concessions had been made on reducing early morning flights and minimising the impact on residents on the proposed flight path. The political battle - by Laura Kuenssberg, BBC political editor Yes, the decades-long debate about airports in Britain is returning (it's never gone for long) just at a time when the government is embroiled in rows it will struggle to win. As one cabinet minister joked, \"it's the gift that keeps on giving\". However, with only Boris Johnson having big doubts around the cabinet table, the real rumpus will be in the Parliamentary Tory Party. Plenty of Tory MPs have long held objections to Heathrow and they will be made loudly on the backbenches in the weeks to come. The government doesn't have a majority and remember, it wants to get this plan through the Commons by the end of the month. If they can, it will be a demonstration of \"look, we are getting on with things, it's not just Brexit!\" There will be howls, and the process even after this likely vote is a very long one. But the government can expect to get the vote through. Even if Labour opposes it, which it may well do on environmental grounds, the party is also split on the merits of the project so might not all vote together. Read the rest of the blog Labour and the SNP save the day? Labour has said expanded capacity is vital to the UK economy but its support is conditional on tests being met on capacity, climate change, noise and air quality, as well as the wider economic benefits. But there is also a split in opinion when it comes to individual MPs, with shadow chancellor John McDonnell - whose Hayes and Harlington constituency could see homes demolished - says he is \"implacably opposed\". Shadow Transport Secretary Andy McDonald said his party would \"follow the evidence\" and not simply rely on assurances from Mr Grayling: \"If the correct balance is not found then the courts will rightly intervene,\" he said. Leader Jeremy Corbyn said: \"Yes, there is a demand for increased airport capacity across the south east, two of the south east airports are working somewhat under capacity, Stansted and Luton. Gatwick and Heathrow are working at pretty well max capacity, let's look at it in that context.\" The SNP's Alan Brown said the new runway had the support of the Scottish government, most Scottish airports and Scottish firms who recognised the \"business benefits\". But Lib Dem leader Sir Vince Cable said the plans were an \"expensive folly\" and his party's 12 MPs would work with others to \"put an end to this project once and for all\". And The Green Party's MP Caroline Lucas said it was a \"disastrous decision\" which \"flew in the face of common sense and climate science\". The carbon question As one would expect, there have been contrasting reactions from business and environmental groups. The Institute of Directors said the end of arguments over Heathrow's future was within \"touching distance\". \"While the new runway is being built, we also need to make better use of capacity at existing airports in the South East, and indeed the rest of the country,\" said its director general Stephen Martin. But Friends of The Earth said a new runway was not compatible with building a low-carbon economy. \"Heathrow expansion would be bad news for our climate and will bring more noise, air pollution and misery to local residents,\" said the organisation's Jenny Bates.",

            "input": "Mr Cameron sent messages to the chancellor's private phone last year to ask for help for finance firm Greensill Capital, where he worked as an adviser. The firm was run by Lex Greensill - a former unpaid adviser to the ex-PM during his time in No 10. The texts show Mr Sunak told Mr Cameron his request for access to government-backed loans was being examined. Mr Cameron's messages to Mr Sunak have not been released. In a document detailing the messages, officials said Mr Cameron had sent the messages as a Greensill employee with an expectation that they would remain confidential. It also revealed that the former PM had contacted two other Treasury ministers - Jesse Norman and John Glen - about the company. A source close to Mr Sunak said Mr Cameron had messaged the chancellor \"multiple times\" on his personal phone. The source added Mr Sunak had chosen to publish the messages \"in order to reassure beyond doubt that there was no wrongdoing and that he acted with integrity and propriety\". But Labour's shadow chancellor, Anneliese Dodds, said the messages \"raise very serious questions about whether the chancellor may have broken the ministerial code\", saying they suggested the firm \"got accelerated treatment and access to officials\" and Mr Sunak \"pushed officials to consider Greensill's requests\". After leaving office, Mr Cameron got a job as an adviser from his own former adviser, Mr Greensill. When advising Greensill Capital - which has now gone bust - the former prime minister texted Conservative ministers within the Treasury to appeal for access to emergency loans for Greensill Capital. But the requests were rejected by Treasury officials. Mr Cameron was investigated by a watchdog over whether he broke rules by not registering as a lobbyist for his work at Greensill - but he was cleared in March. However, critics have continued to question his access to ministers and the role Mr Greensill played in Downing Street when Mr Cameron was prime minister. Who has access to those in power, how is that access used - and how do those in power respond? These are the questions that matter at the heart of this, or any other political row about lobbying; the attempt to exert influence on politicians. Labour is demanding what it calls \"a full, transparent and thorough investigation\" into Greensill Capital's connections at Westminster. David Cameron was working for Greensill Capital, a firm run by Lex Greensill, who had previously worked in Downing Street... when Mr Cameron was prime minister. Former politicians have two marketable assets when they leave politics: 1.) They know how government works. 2.) And they know who works in government. Mr Cameron had served the two-year lobbying ban imposed on former ministers when they leave office before he worked for Greensill. And seeking to make your case to government - as an individual, charity, trade union, or business - is an integral part of politics in a democracy. But would someone who didn't happen to be a former prime minister be able to text the Chancellor, and get a reply? What is tricky in any story about lobbying is trying to prove whether the intervention of the lobbyist made any difference. While the rules on lobbying are more transparent than they were, plenty think they need to be much more so. In Mr Sunak's reply to a text from Mr Cameron on 3 April 2020, the chancellor said: \"Hi David, thanks for your message. I am stuck back to back on calls but will try you later this evening and if gets too late, first thing tomorrow. Best, Rishi.\" In the second reply on 23 April, Mr Sunak said: \"Hi David, apologies for the delay. I think the proposals in the end did require a change to the Market Notice but I have pushed the team to explore an alternative with the Bank that might work. \"No guarantees, but the Bank are currently looking at it and Charles should be in touch. Best, Rishi.\" What do the texts reference? The 23 April message relates to Greensill Capital's desire to be part of a government-backed Covid loan scheme. The \"Bank\" Mr Sunak refers to is understood to be the Bank of England, which was running the Corporate Covid Financing Facility - a scheme to help big firms through the crisis. And it is understood that \"Charles\" refers to Charles Roxburgh, the second most senior civil servant at the Treasury. The Treasury said the firm's requests were eventually rejected by officials. Ms Dodds added: \"The Chancellor's decision to open the door to Greensill Capital has put public money at risk. \"There must be a full, transparent and thorough investigation into the chain of events that saw Greensill awarded lucrative contracts, the freedom of Whitehall and the right to lend millions of pounds of government-backed Covid loans.\" The SNP's Stewart Hosie accused the government of \"stumbling from one scandal to the next\", adding: \"Tory ministers and former prime ministers casually texting each other over government access utterly reeks.\" He called on Mr Sunak to \"come before Parliament and set the record straight\". Mr Greensill, the Australian founder of Greensill Capital, has yet to comment on the row. Mr Cameron has also declined requests for a comment.",

A medical official told AFP news agency all the dead were from sub-Saharan Africa, apart from one Moroccan. It is thought they may have been hoping to reach Europe by sailing from Melilla, despite storm warnings. Melilla, which is just 12 sq km (7 square miles), is a major crossing point for undocumented migrants seeking work or asylum in Europe. It is one of only two EU land borders with Africa - the other being a second Spanish enclave, Ceuta. The bodies were found floating on Saturday around 6-8km from Melilla's coast, Spanish newspaper El Pais reports (in Spanish). A spokeswoman for Melilla's authorities said earlier that \"about 20\" bodies had been retrieved. The exact death toll has not yet been confirmed. Spanish rescue services resumed a search on Sunday morning. The sea crossing between North Africa and southern Spain is increasingly favoured by migrants, according to the International Organization for Migration (IOM). So far in 2018, Spain has been the second most popular entry point for incomers to Europe. IOM figures say some 1,279 arrived there, while 4,256 went to Italy. Not including those recovered this weekend, at least 243 migrants have already died or gone missing this year after trying to cross the Mediterranean. A note on terminology: The BBC uses the term migrant to refer to all people on the move who have yet to complete the legal process of claiming asylum. This group includes people fleeing war-torn countries such as Syria, who are likely to be granted refugee status, as well as people who are seeking jobs and better lives, who governments are likely to rule are economic migrants.",

            "input": "The UK and Chinese researchers followed 500,000 Chinese people for 10 years. They say the findings are relevant to all populations and the best evidence yet on the direct effects of alcohol. Experts said people should limit their alcohol consumption. It is already known that heavy drinking is harmful to health and increases stroke risk - but some studies have suggested drinking small amounts can be good for the health, while others indicate there is no safe level of alcohol consumption. What did the research find? The researchers, from the University of Oxford, Peking University and the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, found that: For the purposes of their study, one drink was defined as either: About 16 in 100 men and 20 in 100 women will have a stroke in their lifetime in the UK. So, if a group of 100 non-drinkers started drinking a glass or two every day, there would be an extra two strokes - a small increase. According to Prof David Spiegelhalter, from the University of Cambridge, that's an increase in total stroke risk of 38% for every half a bottle of wine drunk per day. He said: \"It is very roughly the opposite effect of taking a statin\", which are drugs prescribed by doctors to help lower cholesterol levels in the blood and prevent heart attacks and strokes. The study also found no evidence of light or moderate drinking having a protective effect, in other words, reducing the risk of stroke. When it came to the effect of alcohol on heart attack risk, the researchers said the effects were not clear cut and more data needed to be collected over the next few years. \"Claims that wine and beer have magical protective effects is not borne out,\" said study author Prof Richard Peto, professor of medical statistics and epidemiology at the University of Oxford. Why China? East Asian countries are useful places to study the effects of alcohol. Many people with Chinese ancestry have a combination of genes that puts them off drinking alcohol. It causes an unpleasant reaction and makes them feel unwell. As a result, there is a wide variation of alcohol intake in China - one in three men doesn't drink and very few women do. But by comparing the health outcomes of drinkers and non-drinkers according to their genetic profile, scientists say they have been able to assess - with much more certainty than before - the direct effects of alcohol on stroke risk, distinct from any other factors. Western populations don't possess these genes, so it would be impossible to carry out a similar study here. And most studies are observational, which makes it's difficult to judge which factor is causing what effect. Dr Iona Millwood, study author and senior epidemiologist at the University of Oxford, said: \"Our genetic analyses have helped us understand the cause and effect relationships.\" So what does this mean for me? The researchers say their key message is that there is now clear evidence of no protective effect of moderate drinking on stroke. That means drinking even small amounts of alcohol each day can increase the chances of having a stroke. This is reflected in the current UK guidance - which advises a limit of 14 units of alcohol a week, with several alcohol-free days to keep health risks low. What do other experts say? Dr Stephen Burgess, from the University of Cambridge, said there were some limitations to the study - that it only looked at a Chinese population and focused mainly on the drinking of spirits and beer, not wine. But he said the research reflected the culmination of many years of research into the impact of alcohol consumption. \"It strongly suggests that there is no cardiovascular benefit of light drinking and that risk of stroke increases even with moderate light alcohol consumption,\" he said. \"Risk of stroke increases proportionally with the amount of alcohol consumed, so if people do choose to drink, then they should limit their alcohol consumption.\" Prof Kevin McConway, emeritus professor of applied statistics at the Open University, said the study didn't answer every question. \"It has certainly advanced what we know about the role of alcohol in some diseases but it can't be the last word,\" he said. \"The new study doesn't tie down exactly how alcohol works to increase stroke risk but doesn't appear to increase heart attack risk.\" Prof David Spiegelhalter, Winton professor for the public understanding of risk, at the University of Cambridge, said the study was making him waver. \"I have always been reasonably convinced that moderate alcohol consumption was protective for cardiovascular disease, but now I am having my doubts,\" he said.",

Chief executive Alison Brittain added: \"We continue to make good progress with our efficiency programme, which is helping to partially offset another year of high industry cost inflation.\" Whitbread shares were down about 1% in morning trading.

These challenges included \"machine learning-based optimisation of messaging\", \"micro-targeting, unchecked misleading information, and deep fakes\". \"It's not credible,\" he wrote, \"for us to say: 'We're working hard to stop people from gaming our systems to spread misleading info, but if someone pays us to target and force people to see their political ad…well...they can say whatever they want!'\" Countering the argument that the new policy might be seen as favouring leaders already in office, he pointed out that \"many social movements reach massive scale without any political advertising\". Ads in support of voter registration would not be affected by the ban, he added. How is news of the ban playing out? Hillary Clinton, the former Democratic candidate who lost to Mr Trump in the 2016 presidential election, welcomed Twitter's ban and appeared to challenge Facebook to rethink its stance. Social media analyst Carl Miller said it was \"one of the first times a tech giant has stepped back in concern for the enormous disruptions they're doing to the institutions that don't move as quickly as them\". Jack Dorsey's decision is more significant for its timing and the principle it upholds than the practical effects it will have on modern democracy. Political ads on Twitter are just a fraction, in scale and impact, of those on Facebook. Mr Dorsey knew - and his chief financial officer has since confirmed - that this decision would have little impact on the company's bottom line. They therefore calculated that they could win a thumbs up from regulators and public opinion at little cost to the business. And they could also mischievously provoke Facebook, who are in a more difficult position on the subject. It cannot be mere coincidence that Mr Dorsey's tweet was just a fortnight after Mark Zuckerberg's speech on the same subject. A dividing line between the companies is useful for Twitter. It puts the onus on Facebook to once again defend its stance. It is very easy to find damaging or deceitful ads online. But asking Californian companies to decide what should or shouldn't be in the public domain grants them enormous power that is hard to undo. They already make such decisions on things like violent or hateful content; asking them to go further is, in effect, turning them into editorial arbiters of public conversation. That is, journalists. What is Facebook's policy? Earlier this month, Mr Zuckerberg went before an audience of students in Washington DC to defend the firm's decision not to ban political adverts that contain falsehoods. He had considered barring all political ads on his platforms, but said he believed the move would favour incumbent politicians and whoever the media chose to cover. The company should \"err on the side of greater expression\", he argued. Another spokesman for Mr Biden had criticised the firm for refusing to remove a video posted by Mr Trump's 2020 re-election campaign which promoted an unproven conspiracy theory involving the former vice-president and his son. \"It is unacceptable for any social media company to knowingly allow deliberately misleading material to corrupt its platform,\" TJ Ducklo said. Fellow Democratic candidate Senator Elizabeth Warren then paid to run an intentionally misleading advert on Facebook that claimed Mr Zuckerberg had personally endorsed Donald Trump for re-election. She said she had done so to protest against the firm's decision to allow politicians to run ads containing \"known lies\". How much impact will this have on the US election? US federal campaigns are expected to spend about $6bn (£4.6bn) on advertising but most of it will go on TV ads, with about 20% put into digital ads, advertising research firm Kantar estimates. Twitter is also much smaller than Facebook. In February, it said it had 126m daily active users while Facebook boasted 1.63bn in September. Meanwhile the BBC's political editor Laura Kuenssberg said political strategists often counted on their message being spread for free.",

During that time, the centres have helped propel Birmingham into the international headlines. In 1998 the eyes of Europe were on the NEC as it hosted the Eurovision Song Contest, famously won by Israeli singer Dana International. Stars from David Bowie to Beyonce have performed at its two arenas - the National Indoor Arena (NIA) and the LG Arena. And the famous National Exhibition Centre is the home of Crufts Dog Show, Clothes Show Live and the BBC Good Food Show, among many other events. Every year about four million people attend more than 700 events at the group's venues. The National Exhibition Centre was the first venue to open - planning permission was granted in 1971 and two years later the then Prime Minister, Edward Heath, unveiled a plaque to mark the start of building work. The first seven halls were completed in 1975 and in 1976 the Queen opened the International Spring Fair at the site. The complex now has 20 halls on a 610-acre site near junction six of the M42 motorway. The NEC also houses the 16,000-seat LG Arena, which hosts concerts and conventions. Known as the NEC Arena when it was completed in 1980, the first event there was a concert by Queen. About 800,000 people attended concerts in 2012 by acts including Muse, The Killers, Jay Z, Rihanna, Elton John, George Michael, and Mumford & Sons, the venue said. In 1991, the £200m International Convention Centre (ICC), a conference centre in Centenary Square in Birmingham city centre, was officially opened by the Queen. Building work began back in 1984 and in 1998 it hosted the G8 summit meeting of world leaders. The ICC is also home to the 2,262-seat Symphony Hall concert venue, which is run by the Performances Birmingham Limited. In 1991, Olympic champion sprinter Linford Christie officially opened the National Indoor Arena. It staged the World Indoor Championships in 2003. The NIA has also hosted Davis Cup Tennis, music gigs and WWE wrestling. In December 2011 a £20.6m plan to revamp the NIA was announced, with work starting in June last year.

            "input": "EDF Energy, which wants to build two new reactors next to Sizewell B in Suffolk, was given approval in 2019 to fell Coronation Wood on the site. Together Against Sizewell C (Tasc) sought a judicial review, claiming that decision was unlawful. Mr Justice Holgate rejected its application. He said he \"did not accept East Suffolk Council acted irrationally\" by approving EDF Energy's preliminary plans for the woodland in September 2019, when Sizewell C was yet to go before the Planning Inspectorate. The firm wanted to demolish old buildings on what could become the Sizewell C site, so as not to have an impact on any future \"phasing of construction\". The 1.6 hectare (four acre) wood, owned by EDF, would be cut down to make way for a staff car park and visitor centre. 'Very careful consideration' Tasc challenged the council's \"premature\" decision, calling the 100-year-old wood a \"much-loved local amenity\" providing a home to badgers, bats and birds. It claimed proper investigations into the potential scale of environmental damage had not been carried out, and that the council had \"ridden roughshod\" over the opinions of local people. In a 16-page judgement, Mr Justice Holgate said the loss of the wood would have a moderate adverse effect, but taking into account the species and habitat present, the loss was judged to be \"minor\" and \"not significant\". David Ritchie, the council's cabinet member for planning, said: \"This vindicates the rigour and very careful consideration the strategic planning committee gave to the proposal, following sound and detailed advice from our officers.\" Campaigner Joan Girling, of Leiston, who brought the case on Tasc's behalf, said the 300-strong group would consider its options with lawyers. \"There is no certainty that Sizewell C will be given consent or built,\" she said. \"We remain totally resolute in retaining our stance against EDF's destructive plans for Sizewell and the wider Suffolk environment.\" Plans for the £20bn Sizewell C are being considered by the Planning Inspectorate, which was last week urged by MP Therese Coffey to challenge parts of the proposal. EDF Energy said the judge acknowledged the majority of trees in Coronation Wood had limited life expectancy and their loss would be \"balanced\" by EDF's planting of 2,500 trees suited to the coastal environment.

A Public Space Protection Order (PSPO) is in place at the site which bans bonfires, fireworks and barbecues. Police said they were liaising with Kirklees council to investigate a breach of the order. Four fire crews and specialist wildfire units are at the scene, which is on National Trust land near Black Moss Reservoir and Swellands Reservoir. The National Trust said the blaze, which had caused major damage, could have been avoided. West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service (WYFRS) has advised nearby residents to keep their doors and windows closed and warned people to stay away from the area. Colin Parr, Strategic Director for Climate and Environment at Kirklees Council, said: \"Fire poses a devastating risk to our precious moorlands, visitors, local residents and animals and other wildlife nearby. \"We believe this fire was caused by the actions of somebody who disobeyed the PSPO order. \"This is not only illegal and irresponsible but shows a total disregard for protecting our valuable countryside for all our residents and visitors to enjoy.\" A helicopter has been used to drop water on the fire, which continues to burn. Craig Best, countryside manager for the National Trust, said the moors were \"absolutely tinder-dry\" and the fire could have been avoided. He said: \"I think the clear message is please do not come into the open moors with a barbecue, use fireworks and also be really careful extinguishing cigarettes and absolutely no campfires.\" At its height, about 50 firefighters were involved, with 10 fire engines and two specialist wildlife units sent to the scene. Road closures remain in place, while crews, some from Greater Manchester Fire Service, tackle small pockets of the mile-long \"flame front\", WYFRS said. The latest incident comes almost two years to the day since a fire started by a barbecue destroyed seven sq km (1,730 acres) of land nearby in April 2019. Mr Best added: \"It's so frustrating to see yet another fire on our moors after all the hard work our team have put in to try and restore the landscape after last time. \"Although not on the same area of land as the 2019 fire, this fire has also destroyed a crucial area for rare birds and mammals, as well as carbon-capturing blanket bog. \"Unfortunately, this was another fire started by people and could have so easily been avoided.\" Barbecues and fires are banned on the moors all year round to protect the landscape, with anyone breaching the ban liable to face a fine of up to £2,000. Marsden Moor is a Site of Special Scientific Interest famous for rare ground-nesting birds and blanket peat bogs. It is also home to short-eared owls and mountain hares, the trust says. The trust said restoration efforts from the 2019 devastation were \"expected to take several years and cost at least £500,000\". Follow BBC Yorkshire on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

            "input": "By Patrick Clahane and Mark ShieldsBBC News For head teacher Debbie Whiting, it was her first real insight into the levels of poverty among pupils at her primary school. Alarmed by the note, she visited the girl's home and found the cupboards bare. Something had to be done, she decided. And it was. Within a few weeks of that visit Mrs Whiting had set up a food bank at North Denes primary in Great Yarmouth. When this proved invaluable to struggling families, the school offered to run a clothes washing service for those of them living in bed and breakfast accommodation. Now the school's librarian has turned hairdresser, cutting the locks of some pupils and de-licing children when required. The Norfolk school has become, says Mrs Whiting, a \"fourth emergency service\" for the community that surrounds it. \"When people have got nowhere else to turn, they turn to us,\" she says. \"We've uncovered more and more need. The more you ask, the more you find out - there's a level of hidden poverty that you would not be aware of.\" That visit to the girl's home was in December 2018. Mrs Whiting wanted to discuss the note with her mother, who insisted her daughter should not have said anything because \"she had a couple of potatoes the neighbour had given her to eat that night\". Shocked at what she found, Mrs Whiting went shopping for the family. But she realised if one family was struggling in silence there were likely to be others, and discussed starting a food collection with staff. The food bank began slowly, filled at first with donations from teachers and parents, supplemented by funding raised from community groups. Parents can request an emergency package to see a family of four through a week's worth of meals. Those who feel embarrassed are able to pick up their supplies from a side door, out of sight from other parents. Mrs Whiting knows the parents struggling to pay their bills, the children fleeing domestic violence, the families at risk of eviction, and those who will today ask her for food to feed their children. She compares them - and the school she leads - to a swan gliding across a lake \"but paddling along really hard underneath\". \"When you see people in the playground, you wouldn't know who's got food in their cupboard at home and who hasn't. They don't go around carrying a banner.\" 'I'd be stealing without this school' Michael Thrasher is a full-time carer for his disabled partner Paula and 10-year-old son Michael, who has ADHD. In the past three years the family's monthly income has dropped from about £2,200 a month to £1,600, including rent paid directly to his landlord. But a house move in October stretched finances further, forcing him to ask for help from the food bank at North Denes, where his nine-year-old daughter Tina is a pupil. At times, he has gone four days without food so that his children can eat. Since December, the family has received four packages from the food bank, each containing seven pre-planned meals for four, and essential toiletries. \"I would have to go out stealing without this school,\" says Mr Thrasher, 42. \"There's no other way you can do it. I am embarrassed to come to the food bank. I would rather not ask for help. I would rather do it all myself but sometimes you can't. \"They think you can live on the money that they give us. We can't.\" Just yards from the dunes of Norfolk's east coast, North Denes is a growing 370-pupil school serving one of the most deprived boroughs in the UK. Nearly half of the school's pupils are eligible for the pupil premium, a financial top-up for those from disadvantaged backgrounds. At its site on the northern fringes of the town, behind a derelict pub and beside a caravan park, the challenges facing modern coastal communities are being played out. Like many seaside towns, Great Yarmouth has suffered from the loss of jobs in traditional industries, which have been replaced with seasonal, insecure work in sectors such as tourism and food production. In the government's most recent Index of Multiple Deprivation, a quarter of Great Yarmouth's 61 neighbourhoods were among the most deprived 10% in the UK. Across the borough, earnings, life expectancy, GCSE results, and major health measures are worse than the national average. Three years ago, Great Yarmouth was chosen as a pilot site for the introduction of universal credit - a welfare reform which combines six benefits into a monthly payment. But the scheme has been dogged by delayed payments, which take five weeks and are paid in arrears, and many families have seen payments cut. And the school has seen the effects. \"We have had parents who have found it difficult to manage financially and to feed their children because of the introduction of universal credit,\" says Mrs Whiting. \"It's caused huge problems.\" When the food bank opened, the Department for Work and Pensions said the reasons for food poverty were \"complex\", pointing out that 100% advances had been available since the programme's introduction. It denied universal credit was linked to food bank use and that \"significant improvements\" had been made so people could be paid sooner. Coastal Britain These stories are part of special coverage across BBC News looking at the challenges and opportunities in Britain's coastal towns. At the school gates, mother-of-four Sandy Lysaght says the food bank and its staff have been an \"amazing\" support. \"Just chatting to them makes you feel that it's not your fault,\" she says. About half a dozen families a week use the service, but many others donate when they can. Yet the problems of poverty cannot be solved simply by food parcels. One third of children arriving in reception class at North Denes are classed as obese and, by the time they get to year 6, this has risen to half. \"When you have hungry children, how many Mars bars can you get for a £1 and how many apples?\" says Mrs Whiting. \"It's not that parents don't love their children or don't want better things for them, but sometimes they don't know how or they haven't got the resources to do it.\" The school is midway through its second six-week course teaching parents how to cook nutritious food on a budget. Caterer Natalie Creegan's free sessions have proved so popular some parents have asked to stay on to teach others. \"At the first session, only one of the parents had ever chopped an onion, so we are starting fairly basic,\" she says. \"But the skill set now is much better.\" The classes also underline the solidarity among parents. On the day the BBC visited, a class whip-round had raised £10 for a couple whose electricity meter had run out. Cutting deep If money is hard to come by for the parents, times are equally tough for the school. Its funding per pupil has this year dropped from about £3,100 to £2,700 per head, according to the head teacher. Its budget for the year starting in April 2019 is based on a snapshot of its pupil roll at the start of October 2018, meaning the 19 pupils who have joined since must be funded from their classmates' pot. Pension contributions have increased by 8%, the minimum wage for the lowest-paid workers has risen and the cost of external services has gone up too. That has left a £130,000 gap in the 2019-20 budget, which would have grown to £350,000 by 2021-22 without drastic action. The Department for Education would not comment on North Denes' funding situation but said Great Yarmouth schools on average had seen an increase of 2.1% compared to 2017-18 funding levels. To balance the books, one teaching and five classroom assistants roles will be cut. Contracts for other specialist and support staff will not be renewed. In total, 13 people will not return to the school when the new term starts in September - about a quarter of the staff. Mrs Whiting says it is \"upsetting\", but she has no choice. Staff have discussed cutting their hours together, so that fewer redundancies are needed, but financial pressures weigh on them too. Debbie Gleeson: school librarian, occasional hairdresser to pupils and one of the staff at risk, is also a single parent. She admits she is scared. \"It means going back on benefits, on universal credit. Am I going to end up being one of those that's going to rely on the food bank?\" The staff at North Denes know they do not have to provide the extra support they do. They know the impact if they don't, however. Children who are not fed, warm or safe do not learn well, can behave badly or miss school. \"All these things, they are all part of enabling children to be in a place where they can learn,\" says Mrs Whiting. She speaks out to draw attention to the reality of life in school, to highlight the struggles in education that she believes should be a higher priority. There is optimism at North Denes - it is rated Good by Ofsted, and by next September a new £7m school should be complete behind its current 1930s home. But, says the head teacher, the new buildings would be for nothing without the people and the community inside. \"These are the people who are going to run industry, who are going to work in the health service, in our schools, in our government,\" she says. \"And they only get one go at an education.\"",

Her daughter, Debs Donovan, was determined her mum would get what she asked for when she died unexpectedly at the age of 73. \"She would want us to celebrate her life,\" Mrs Donovan said. \"And that is what we have done.\" The idea first began four years ago. Mrs Watson, who drank between 30 and 40 cups of tea a day, was organising her husband's funeral with her daughter when she joked that, as a double amputee, she would only need half a coffin. When Mrs Watson said it could be a box of Typhoo teabags, they both found it hilarious and the idea stuck. Mrs Donovan, 49, said: \"She was very fond of a cups of tea. If anything happened mum's answer was always 'lets put the kettle on'. \"When she died I knew I had to make that final wish a reality. \"She was my best friend, my rock. Doing this for her helped me come to terms with her death - I could do something for her that she really wanted, even when I couldn't do anything more.\" Mrs Donovan said her mum would have \"laughed so heartily\" if she knew how much attention the funeral in Leicester on Friday would attract. \"She would not want us to be miserable,\" she added. \"It's so typically her.

She was part of the Women's Auxiliary Air Force (WAAF) and in later life became an author, writing about her war experience. In 2012, she was awarded the British Empire Medal for helping to campaign against cuts in adult education. Following the announcement of her death, First Minister Carwyn Jones tweeted: \"Very sad to see that Eileen has died. A lovely lady and a real character. She will be sorely missed.\" Born in London, Ms Younghusband worked in the filter room during World War Two, the top secret hub of Britain's air defence, which processed information from coastal radar stations to give air raid warnings and enable the RAF to intercept German bombers. After D-Day, she was sent to Belgium with a small team of women who used their mathematical skills to locate the mobile launchers for V2 rockets being used to bomb London and Antwerp. After the war, she spent most of her life in hotels and catering. She moved to Wales in 1984 and became known for her campaigning on health and education issues. At the age of 87, she completed a degree from the Open University and her autobiography, Not an Ordinary Life, was published the following year in 2009. At the time, she said: \"The girls who worked on that section [WAAF], many of them now nearly 90 years of age, have never felt that the work they did has been recognised, so this is one of the reasons that made me write this book.\" She began a series of books and talks about her wartime experiences and her work, One Woman's War, won a People's Book Prize. Her latest book, Eileen's War, was written for children and was completed and published just weeks before her death.",

            "input": "By Angus DavisonScience reporter Playing \"out of your league\" or dating people considered more attractive than you, is a winning strategy, according to a new analysis of internet daters in the US. Men had greater success when they approached women they believed were more desirable than themselves. The new study has been published in the journal, Science Advances. Internet dating has become the dominant form for those seeking romance - it's the third most popular means of meeting a long term partner and around half of all 18-34 year olds now use dating apps. In this new report, scientists used a Google-inspired algorithm to understand the desires of people wanting to match up. They analysed messaging and demographic patterns among heterosexual users in New York, Boston, Chicago and Seattle. They found that both men and women contact potential partners who are, on average, around 25% more desirable than themselves. Your \"desirability\", they found, is not just about the number of messages that you receive, but who you receive them from. If your messages come from people who have themselves received lots of messages, that makes make you more desirable, according to the study. Apps are 'least preferred' way to date What are online dating sites doing to keep us safe? Top tips for a hot date 1) Send lots of messages - perseverance can pay off 2) Aim high - playing out of your league can be a winning strategy 3) Keep it brief - that long heartfelt message might not be read 4) Be patient - your dream date may just be judging the market When women approached men, they received a response 50% of the time. When men aimed at women who were rated as more desirable than themselves, their response rate was 21%. That might seem low but the authors of the study suggest that online daters were wise to take the risk. \"I think a common complaint when people use online dating websites is they feel like they never get any replies,\" said lead author Dr Elizabeth Bruch from the University of Michigan. \"This can be dispiriting. But even though the response rate is low, our analysis shows that 21% of people who engage in this aspirational behaviour do get replies from a mate who is out of their league, so perseverance pays off.\" Generally, most people received a handful of replies at best, but a few people received many more. One woman in the study was bombarded with a new message every half hour, from over 1,500 different people in the month long study. As the data were wholly anonymised, we can only speculate about what it was about this woman that struck the attention of so many men. The secret to success - keep it brief Both men and women tended to write longer messages to a more desirable partner, sometimes up to twice as long, but the study found that this barely makes any difference to the response rate. Dr Bruch said: \"I feel that we can save people a lot of work in not writing longer messages.\" Why does writing a longer message not work? \"We don't really know. One of the reasons might be that people that are desirable may have so many messages in their inbox, they don't read most of them. That lovingly crafted message that you spent two hours on may go unopened,\" said Dr Bruch in an interview with the BBC. Co-author Professor Mark Newman, also from the University of Michigan, said: \"Playing out of your league is one way to reduce the rate at which you get replies. That does not seem to stop people from doing it, and it seems to be standard behaviour. There is a trade-off between how far up the ladder you want to reach and how low a reply rate you are willing to put up with.\" If you aren't getting any replies, then be patient. Your potential dates might be judging the market before committing to reply at all. Although the maths is complicated, research has shown that your chance of picking the best date is highest if you reject outright the first 37%. You should then choose to date the next person that's better than all the previous ones. Deal-makers and deal-breakers in dating Previous studies have shown that your dating profile should be roughly 70% about yourself, with the rest about what you're looking for in a partner. But the problem with this thinking is that it assumes that people are going to read your profile or your message in the first place. Dr Bruch said: \"Women could afford to be more aspirational than they are. Their reply rates are already high enough that they can afford to take a hit.\" You might also want to think about when you reply. Dr Bruch added: \"People's behaviour at two o'clock in morning looks very different from their behaviour at 8 o'clock in the morning. Which is better depends upon what your goals are.\" BBC iWonder: Do you know the secret to getting a date online? Take the scientific test to see if you can build the perfect dating profile Man's not hot The study showed that women tended to use more positive words when communicating with more desirable partners, whereas men tended to play it cool, showing a slight decrease in positive words. Reinforcing a well-known stereotype, women's view of men's desirability peaked at around the age of 50, whereas women's attractiveness to men declined from the age of 18. The authors stressed that this does not mean following these stereotypes is the key to successful dating. People are able to make choices. Dr Bruch said: \"There can be a lot of variation in terms of who is desirable to whom. There may be groups in which people who would not necessarily score as high by our measures could still have an awesome and fulfilling dating life.\" Of course, making contact with dates online is only the first step in courtship. Most messages ended in failure. Previous research has shown that when people are able to spend proper time together, their characters become far more important than the superficial information that they receive on a dating app. \"I am fascinated with the rules of dating, this paper is the initial leg of that research effort. Once you get past that first response, it is not clear how desirability continues to matter. There is some evidence that people focus on the most superficial aspects of their potential romantic partners at the earliest stages of the relationship and later on those things don't matter so much.\" Follow Angus on Twitter",

He was stabbed close to his home in Green Lane, Edgware, on 16 September. The Met have released CCTV images of his final hours, including an image showing him walking along Station Road 10 minutes before the attack. Dr Farooq, who had come to Britain in 1999 seeking political asylum, was found with stab wounds and head injuries after the attack six months ago. Vehicles seen A silver-coloured seven-seater and a dark-coloured moped or scooter were seen around and outside the politician's home in Green Lane at the time of the killing, the Met said. The two-wheeler was also seen in Grove Road on the same day. Following the attack both vehicles drove north up the Green Lane, police believe. Police believe two kitchen knives - one branded Ausbein Messer with a five inch blade and one branded Schinken Messer with a five-and-a-half inch blade - were used in the attack. The blades were recovered from the scene and officers believe they come from the same set. A house brick was also used in the fatal attack. The series of images show Dr Farooq travelling to work on the day of his death. He was seen entering Edgware underground station, then at a supermarket in Old Street about 40 minutes later. About an hour before the attack he was seen at Old Street tube station and getting off at Edgware station. The final images were taken by the CCTV camera on a number 204 bus at 1724 BST as Dr Farooq walked along Station Road. He was attacked about 10 minutes later, police said.

The service has declared the flooding, which has primarily affected the south of the county, a major incident. The fire service warned low-lying areas were likely to remain flooded and said it expected traffic disruption for the rest of Thursday. Widespread downpours have also affected other areas across the east of England. \"We don't declare a major incident very often but we had so many calls coming in,\" said Tim Edwards of Norfolk Fire and Rescue Service. Mr Edwards said the peak was at about 23:00 GMT on Wednesday with most of the calls about flooded buildings and people attempting to drive through deep water. \"Absolutely avoid anywhere where there is flood water. It's very difficult to know exact depths. Do not enter flooded water at any point,\" he said. Norfolk Police were forced to close the A11 near Thetford and the A47 at Easton to Honingham. Police were only allowing traffic through the A140 at Long Stratton at intervals. A welfare centre set up at the local leisure centre had to be relocated after the building itself came under threat from the water. The A146 was blocked on Thursday morning at several points in south Norfolk, including Yelverton. One resident in Great Moulton said she was still surrounded by about 8in (20cm) of water around her bungalow. \"Fortunately my front door is a bit higher than the drain level,\" she said. \"I've lived here 48 years and never seen anything like this - it's pretty dire.\" Meanwhile seven flood warnings have been issued for the county. Paul Burrows from the Environment Agency said several rivers had \"tripped into flood warning status\", but said levels were stabilising with the forecast \"not too bad for the next few days\". Weatherquest meteorologist Dan Holley said the extreme weather was due to a band of heavy rain over parts of the Midlands and East Anglia on Wednesday Some places received \"over 50mm (1.96in) of rain - a month's worth in just 24 hours\", he added.

They said the review should ensure that S4C remains independent as a Welsh publisher-broadcaster. In a joint statement First Minister Carwyn Jones and Deputy First Minister Ieuan Wyn Jones underlined the value of S4C. \"It is of incalculable importance to the further strengthening of the Welsh language as well as to the successes of Wales' creative industries sector,\" said the statement, \"and it has an important role to play in ensuring much-needed plurality within Wales' media. \"We have laid out a constructive plan with the intention of ensuring a secure and independent future for S4C.

Speaking on BBC Radio Wales Mr Bourne denied that his involvement in the letter showed a lack of influence with his party colleagues at Westminster. \"It's not that at all,\" he said. \"The importance of the letter is to stress the fact that this is a united view in Wales and I think there's goodwill on all sides. I think there's goodwill at Westminster as well. \"There's a period of time when we can sort this out and I'm appealing for that to happen. I think the response, that it is being taken seriously, is the appropriate response and I hope we can all move forward together.\" S4C said it had nothing to say about the letter as it was a matter for politicians.

But White House officials said on Monday the Republican president is not scheduled to hit the trail for Mr Moore ahead of the election on 12 December. Mr Trump attacked Mr Moore's Democratic opponent on Sunday. A number of top Republican senators have called on 70-year-old Mr Moore to step aside following claims he molested or harassed teenage girls as young as 14 while he was in his 30s. Ten things Roy Moore believes \"Liberal Jones would be BAD!\" Mr Trump wrote over the weekend about Doug Jones, who polls show is nearly neck and neck with Mr Moore in the staunchly conservative Deep South state. White House spokeswoman Lindsay Walters told The Hill, a political newspaper, \"there is nothing on his schedule at this time\" when asked about the possibility of Mr Trump travelling to Alabama. Seven women have accused Mr Moore of pursuing sexual relationships with them when they were teenagers and he was a 30-something prosecutor. One was 14 and alleges he molested her. Another says he tried to rape her. Two other women who were in their 20s at the time accuse him of making unwanted advances. Meanwhile, Mr Trump has reportedly been saying a recording in which he infamously bragged that his fame entitled him to grab women's vaginas is a fake. Despite the fact that he immediately apologised for the remarks when the Access Hollywood tape surfaced in October 2016, Mr Trump has recently disputed the veracity of the video, according to the New York Times. The newspaper reported: \"He suggested to a senator earlier this year that it was not authentic, and repeated that claim to an adviser more recently.\" During last year's election campaign, Mr Trump was accused by several women of sexual impropriety.

The unwanted passengers can also lead to drivers being fined - with penalties of up to £2,000 per migrant imposed if any are found on board upon arrival in the UK. But what, if anything, can drivers do about the situation? The Home Office has a code of practice on how to avoid receiving such fines. It offers advice including making checks during loading, effectively securing vehicles and continuing to make checks regularly on the way to the UK, with such checks recorded and the documentation kept with the vehicle. The Freight Transport Association (FTA) also has a section in its drivers' handbook on how to stop illegal migrants boarding lorries - but a spokeswoman said it was currently \"impossible for drivers to carry out checks as they put themselves in danger by leaving their vehicle\", adding that the \"stream of migrants is relentless\". Natalie Chapman, head of policy for London and the South East at the FTA, said drivers have been advised in the past year not to stop for rest breaks or fuel within about an hour's drive of Calais. Drivers also have to make sure their vehicles are properly locked and secured. However she said drivers were \"sitting ducks\" with the queues coming out of the ports. \"They're getting people standing in front and forcibly stopping them\", she added. French police can be called to remove migrants from vehicles, but they are generally not detained, said Ms Chapman. \"It is very sad, and there is a humanitarian crisis going on, but our concern is for the safety and welfare of drivers,\" she added, saying that some migrants were armed with knives which they used to slash the sides of vehicles. Richard Jameson, who runs a transport company based in Marlow, Buckinghamshire, agreed that drivers are facing an increasingly dangerous situation. \"The guidance given by the government is all well and good, until you approach the port of Calais. When you do, it's an absolute nightmare for any driver. \"You're sat in your cab and surrounded with tens of, if not 100, migrants swarming the motorway between the lorries. There are unbelievable scenes. \"The police are fighting a losing battle. And as a driver, you're quite limited as to what you can do.\" He said migrants used to try to stow away at night, when lorry drivers were asleep, but were now \"more brazen\" and making daytime attempts. He said hard-sided lorries, of the type his company used, were generally more secure because the only access is through the back doors. But even when drivers secure their doors, migrants have gone underneath the vehicles and hidden on top of wheel axles, he said. 'Unbelievably stressful' For his drivers, the problem is compounded by being unable to get out of their cabs to make extra checks at Calais because of the sheer number of people on the motorway wanting to get on board. \"This is going on every single day, and I don't know what the answer is,\" he said. \"It's unbelievably stressful for drivers. I have drivers who don't want to go any more - they can't get out of their cabs without facing migrants coming towards them. And if they try to alert other drivers that someone is trying to get in their trailer, they can have rocks and bricks thrown at them. \"It would be nice for the British police to go out there to open their eyes as to what is going on.\" Peter Cullum, the Road Haulage Association's head of international affairs, has recently called for more \"boots on the ground\" at ports, saying: \"Truck security, though important, is only part of the solution. Increasing clandestine numbers require more crowd control.\" Peter Davis, who runs a fruit and vegetable import and export business in Louth, Lincolnshire, said one of his drivers had been told by French police to allow migrants on the lorries - because they could not prevent them getting on board. Asked how drivers could prevent migrant stowaways, he said: \"There's nothing they can do, absolutely nothing. \"There are probably between 15 and 30 immigrants following a lorry, they're in groups, and the only way you could stop someone breaking in the back of the lorry is to confront them - and you can't do that, because there's no support from the police. You can't do anything.\" Mr Davis also said French police had advised drivers to leave the backs of lorries open so migrants could be seen more easily - but said that was not possible for his business as the fresh produce needs to be kept at a certain temperature and there is the risk of contamination.

More than 4.5in (120mm) is expected in some of the most exposed high ground of Snowdonia.

His first time in drag was 10 years ago when he went out to a bar in Edinburgh with a group of friends. Although he was nervous at first, Darryl says this soon changed once he realised how accepting of drag people were - compared with his own experience in Inverness. 'Change in the air' \"Did I think there would be a place for Venus up here 10 years ago? Absolutely not, I cannot envision any circumstance 10 years ago under which I would leave my house in drag,\" he says. \"There is definitely progression. There's definitely been a change in the air here. Would I say it's all the way it needs to be? No, but am I grateful that it's progressing? Absolutely.\" Darryl chose to move back to Inverness mainly because he always knew he would come back home, saying that he misses home anytime he is away. \"I think moving back was a risk, taking Venus into consideration - based on the fact that there isn't quite as much demand up north for drag or any form of entertainment like it,\" he adds. \"In places like Edinburgh and Glasgow there is a big demand for things like that - and with greater demand there comes greater presence of people willing to cater to that demand. \"The world is a little less scary for drag queens these days.\" When it comes to \"he\" and \"she\", although pronoun preference differs for each drag queen, the rule of thumb is to refer to the individual as he when out of drag and she when in drag. \"I understand why people are becoming a bit more wary of how they use pronouns in this day and age,\" Darryl says. \"But for me it doesn't hold any bearing on how I feel or how I respond to people.\" 'Definite progression' Darryl believes he is fortunate because he is one of the few entertainers in Inverness who perform in drag and that allows him to stand out with the limited number of bookings made available. \"For people to come to my show, it is an experience for everyone, it's an experience for me being on stage in front of people from Inverness. It's an experience for them because it's not something they get to see every day.\" When performing, Venus sings live, dances, DJs and sometimes lip syncs to songs - offering a variety of choice. Last October thousands of people took part in the biggest LGBT+ event to be held in Inverness in 16 years - Proud Ness. Darryl was able to take part in the event as Venus and hopes to see similar progressive events in the future. 'More opportunities' He thinks venue owners and managers of bars and clubs in the city should offer more bookings for drag queens, and his advice for anyone in the Highlands who might be considering doing drag for the first time, is to just go for it. \"Wear your armour, because you will at some stage come across someone who doesn't like what they see, or doesn't like what they hear - but that doesn't mean you have to feel bad about it.\" Venus used to have a regular slot in Hootananny on Church Street, where her old spot has been taken over by a different drag queen. Venus mostly takes bookings outside of Inverness, because she feels the city does not offer enough venues for drag queens to perform in, something she hopes changes with time. \"I would like performing to become a full time career, but that can only happen if Inverness chooses to move the way that Edinburgh, London, Newcastle all moved,\" she says. \"There hasn't been much provision of drag entertainment in Inverness. \"There are a lot of people who want to see stuff like that and I think all it really comes down to now is venue owners and managers just being a little more open-minded and thinking, 'could we make this work in our venue?' and if the answer is anything other than no, do it.\"",

The golf course and most rooms in the hotel have now reopened following a £200m refurbishment. The presumptive Republican nominee will attend the official reopening on 24 June - one day after the EU referendum. Mr Trump said: \"Very exciting that one of the great resorts of the world, Turnberry, will be opening today after a massive £200m investment. \"I own it and I am very proud of it. \"I look forward to attending the official opening of this great development on 24 June.\" Mr Trump is likely to be the Republican candidate in the US presidential election in November after seeing off a host of rivals in the primaries. Ban on Muslims The outspoken billionaire has been a controversial figure during the campaign, most notably calling for a temporary ban on Muslims entering the US following the San Bernardino shootings in California. This prompted a petition advocating a ban on Mr Trump coming to the UK, which attracted hundreds of thousands of signatures. The size of the petition triggered a three-hour debate at a Westminster committee room, which ended without a vote being taken. Home Secretary Theresa May can - and does - sometimes prevent people from entering the UK because of things they have said. However, the Home Office said she does not use these powers lightly; only \"if she considers their presence in the UK to be non-conducive to the public good\" or if they are people who \"seek to harm our society and who do not share our basic values\". Mr Trump's comments on Muslims were described as \"divisive, unhelpful and quite simply wrong\" by Prime Minister David Cameron, who later said he stood by those remarks but would work with whoever was elected president. Mr Trump later moved to defuse any tension between the two by saying that he had been asked to visit Downing Street and expected to \"do just fine\" with Mr Cameron. Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon called Mr Trump's comments on Muslims \"offensive\". She said: \"Mr Trump's views are repugnant, and they clearly do not represent the mainstream views of people across America.\" His arrival in Scotland later this month is likely to be contentious with the fallout from Mr Trump's comments in the primaries still fresh in many people's memories. Turnberry is on the rota of courses that can stage the Open Championship and Mr Trump previously said that was a factor is his decision to purchase the resort.

The dispute dates back to the merging of the two former councils in 2015. If agreement cannot be reached, further action is planned for the New Year. But both sides are hopeful of a settlement before then. The four unions, who represent almost 1,000 workers, have also raised concerns about an ongoing redundancy scheme. Last month, members of Unite the union, GMB, Nipsa and Siptu backed industrial action. There were four pickets on Thursday - two in Downpatrick and two in Newry - with the four unions rotating those in attendance in order to comply with social distancing regulations. In a joint statement on Wednesday, the unions said progress had been made, but have accused senior management of \"dragging their feet\" over wages of lower-paid workers since the merger of Newry and Mourne District Council with Down District Council in 2015, while benefiting from their own being raised. Speaking at one of the picket lines on Thursday, Kieran Ellison of Unite the union said he remained hopeful that agreement could be reached. \"We would love to get this resolved and this could have been resolved if management had put the impetus into getting this resolved,\" he said. \"We have worked through many of the issues but there are still some outstanding including to pay protections that they appear to want to run over the top of. If things cannot be resolved then we are faced with no other option than to take further action in January. \"But if that can be avoided and we can come to a compromise then that is something we can do.\" In a statement issued on Wednesday, the council said it, too, hoped a resolution could be reached. \"Newry, Mourne and Down District Council remains fully committed to resolving this dispute, to ensuring fair pay, transparency and equality for all its employees and to delivering value for money for all rate payers in the council area, especially at a time when many are experiencing significant financial hardship,\" a spokesperson said. \"The council will continue to work with the LRA (Labour Relations Agency) and to engage in dialogue with the trade unions to find a workable solution as quickly as possible.\" NMDDC is one of Northern Ireland's largest council areas with about 180,000 residents.

Information found was then used in the papers, which was \"an unacceptable intrusion\" into private lives, it said. Trinity Mirror has already settled a number of phone-hacking claims. The company told its shareholders it would set aside more money to pay the cost of settling further phone hacking claims that may emerge. It has now set aside an extra £8m, taking the total to £12m, to cover compensation payments to victims and associated legal costs. In the printed apology, it said: \"It was unlawful and should never have happened, and fell far below the standards our readers expect and deserve. \"We are taking this opportunity to give every victim a sincere apology for what happened.\" It said phone hacking had \"long since been banished from Trinity Mirror's business and we are committed to ensuring it will not happen again\". Trinity Mirror also publishes the Sunday People which will carry the apology along with the Sunday Mirror. Hacked Off, the campaign for a \"free and accountable\" press, said the Trinity Mirror apology confirmed what it had always believed - that phone hacking was \"not confined to the News of the World\". It said the move was \"four years late and fails to deal with the issue of corporate responsibility, cover-ups and a continuing rejection of effective regulation and fair remedy\". Singer Cilla Black was among celebrities who settled phone-hacking claims for \"substantial\" damages in the High Court last month. Actor Darren Day, EastEnders star Jessie Wallace and singer Peter Andre also settled claims against Mirror Group Newspapers, which is a subsidiary of Trinity Mirror. The hacking was alleged to have taken place between 2000 and 2006. Settlements were also previously agreed with the former head coach of the England football team, Sven-Goran Eriksson, actor Christopher Eccleston, David and Victoria Beckham's former nanny Abbie Gibson, actor Shane Richie's wife Christie Roche and his friend and agent Phil Dale.

They were entertainer Shane Richie, soap actresses Shobna Gulati and Lucy Benjamin, and BBC creative director Alan Yentob. In November, former Sunday Mirror investigations editor Graham Johnson pleaded guilty to intercepting voicemail messages in 2001. He was the second Mirror Group Newspapers journalist to admit to phone hacking. Trinity Mirror told shareholders: \"As the process of dealing with the civil claims has progressed, it has become evident that the cost of resolving these claims will be higher than previously envisaged. \"Inevitably there remains some uncertainty as to how matters will progress and whether or not new allegations or claims will emerge and their possible financial impact.\" Allegations of phone hacking at the News of the World, owned by News International, led to a large-scale police investigation that uncovered many victims and led to the newspaper's closure in 2011. It also prompted the Leveson inquiry into press standards and regulation.

            "input": "By Jonathan HeadBBC News, South East Asia correspondent On Friday the independent news website Malaysiakini was found guilty of contempt. It now has to pay a hefty fine of RM500,000 (£88,500, $123,600) . Its editor-in-chief and co-founder Steven Gan narrowly escaped a prison sentence after he was found not guilty for a similar charge. The attorney-general filed the charges last year based on readers' critical comments about the judiciary posted on Malaysiakini's website, and later removed, a move with worrying implications for all news media. Malaysiakini's success so far, its very survival, are all the more remarkable in a country where all news media was once subject to government control, and in a region where truly independent, quality journalism is difficult, dangerous and often driven to the margins. Back in 1999 Steven Gan and Pramesh Chandran saw an opportunity to create Asia's first online daily news site. They were both former student activists who worked at Malaysia's The Sun newspaper, and had grown frustrated by official censorship through the requirement to have a licence to publish, and through extensive ownership of mainstream media outlets by pro-government interest groups. \"I was a believer in media freedom, yet we saw its limits in Malaysia every day we worked as journalists\", he told the BBC in an interview before the verdict. The catalyst was the dramatic dismissal and then arrest of Deputy Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim in September 1998, a popular figure seen until then as the designated successor to then-Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad, who had been in office for 17 years and dominated Malaysian politics. It was the start of an epic tussle for power between the two men which would last many years. Steven recalls that several journalists discussed using the then new medium of the internet to report what other media would not. \"We realised we could do it for quite a low cost, that, unlike print, we did not need a licence, and Mahathir had already promised foreign investors that he would not censor the internet,\" he said. \"The internet was very new at that time - you know, we used 56k modems, it was really slow. \"People were really interested in political issues then because of the sacking of Anwar Ibrahim, and we rode on that wave of political awakening. The mainstream media was not reporting what was happening on the ground, especially if there was something like a mass protest in Kuala Lumpur, so they were going to the internet.\" Based in the suburban district of Petaling Jaya, Malaysiakini started with just three journalists, initially hoping to fund themselves through partnership with an internet café, then with advertising from internet start-ups during what was then the dotcom boom. It was fortunate to receive a $100,000 grant from the Bangkok-based South East Asia Press Alliance. It survived the failure of the café, the dotcom bust, and outright hostility from the government, with the Prime Minister accusing Malaysiakini journalists in 2001 of behaving like traitors, and barring them from official press conferences. Over the years it has endured several police raids, threatened criminal charges and prosecutions. Throughout, said Steven Gan, they insisted their reporters maintain high standards of journalism. \"We are new media but we practise old media rules,\" he said. But perhaps the most important decision was an early focus on finding a viable business model for the site, long before other mainstream media had started to question theirs in the digital era. \"We knew we needed to offer a website with reliable information, and we needed to make a political impact,\" he says. \"But just as important is to have a good business model. You need to have a good editor-in chief, and also a good CEO who can look after the business side of things. The co-founders, myself and Pramesh Chandra, were able to work together to ensure we produce good content, and that we earned enough income to keep the business going.\" In 2002 Malaysiakini was among the first news sites anywhere to move to a subscription model, at a time when most viewers expected to get online news for free. It has been profitable most years, with subscription revenue often matching revenue from advertising. It has been an inspiration to other Malaysian journalists, like Jahabar Siddique, a former Reuters employee, who founded another independent news site, The Malaysian Insider. \"It made it viable for journalists to consider options beyond the muzzled media that was available then. Also made it possible for those like me who were working for international media agencies to consider returning to the local media scene and expand the free space available to inform Malaysians and others about Malaysia.\" Maria Ressa, a former CNN and ABS-CBN journalist who founded the website Rappler in the Philippines in 2012, and now finds herself subjected to several criminal prosecutions under the hostile media climate of the Duterte administration, credits Malaysiakini for showing that a small, independent news organisation could succeed in South East Asia. \"They were the first to embrace a digital platform, and the first to come up with a workable business model for online news. What was so great about Malaysiakini was that from the start they set themselves high standards of journalism, and when faced with pressure from the government, they did not buckle. They never gave up.\" On the day of his release from second spell in prison in 2018, Anwar Ibrahim thanked Malaysiakini for ensuring dissenting voices were heard. \"You have done a wonderful job. At a time when we had massive restrictions, where the media was nothing but incessant propaganda, Malaysiakini was there.\" Malaysiakini has been favoured by a less repressive environment than in many neighbouring countries, and a more favourable economic one. There is a large and educated middle class in Malaysia, not just keen to read alternative views but to pay subscriptions, or to donate, as they did when the news site needed a new office seven years ago and offered a wall of 1,000 bricks to donors willing to give RM1,000 (£188) a brick. It has created successful subsidiary businesses, like its advertising arm, which has steadily driven up commercial income. But its real achievement, says Professor Zaharom Nain at Nottingham University's Malaysia Campus, is broadening the political debate in Malaysian society. \"It has, I believe, provided Malaysians with a different way of interpreting Malaysia's politics. It has also paved the way for other news portals to emerge and develop. It has even made mainstream media move to another platform, utilising the internet, for getting their message across,\" he says. \"Beyond providing dissenting news, Malaysiakini has shown many Malaysians that there is more than one point of view, and that it is legitimate to question authority.\" Today Steven Gan is not alone in finding himself subject to criminal investigation. Last year six journalists from Al Jazeera were questioned by police over a report on the alleged mistreatment of migrants in Malaysia during Covid-19, on suspicion of violating three laws. Two other journalists were also investigated for their reporting. Following the collapse of the reformist government headed by Mahathir Mohamad after his comeback in the 2018 election, Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin now heads a precarious coalition pulled together last March. Mr Muhyiddin's government is proving less tolerant of critical reporting than its predecessor in what is now a more heated and less predictable political climate.",

Mamou, originally from Louisiana, was convicted of the murder of Mary Carmouche in 1999 after a botched drug deal. Three men were shot and Mamou, who was 24 and a father-of-five, drove away with the 17-year-old girl and shot her. He has claimed he is innocent but has exhausted all of his appeals and could get a date for his execution any day. Mrs Hardiman said her Catholic faith was what led her to start writing to Mamou. She got in contact with him through a charity called Lifelines, after being inspired by a speech from Sister Helen Prejean at a Catholic conference. Miss Prejean is the author of Dead Man Walking, which tells of her pen-friendship with a prisoner. \"Since the age of 11, I've been a penfriend,\" Mrs Hardiman said. \"I've written to thousands and thousands of people, all my life and this was a skill and something I could do.\" She said the two of them wrote about \"anything\" and it did not matter to her whether Mamou was innocent or not. \"Even the most hardened of criminals can soften given the right conditions,\" she said. But what would she say to those who may think she should direct her compassion to the victim's family? \"People have said that to me,\" she said. \"We all need love, we all need support, we all need somebody to help us when times are really difficult and I think that's the essence of faith in action.\" Mamou said the letters \"soothe\" him and distracted him from the \"chaos\" of life on Death Row. \"She loves me like a brother, like a friend,\" he said. He said their relationship was \"platonic in nature and genuine at the core\". Mrs Hardiman has now visited him twice and knows his death could be imminent. \"I have thought about offering to be there at the end, whether he'd want that or not, I don't really know,\" she said. \"I just think really the main thing is that if this is the last time I've seen him then at least I've seen him and done something I wouldn't normally have done - and I will never ever regret that experience, ever, not for one moment.\" You can see more on this story on Inside Out North West on Monday 16 September 2019 on BBC One North West at 19:30 BST and on iPlayer afterwards.",

He said groundbreaking work by the zoo, the Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) and University of Surrey (UoS), had aided the calf's recovery. UoS's Prof Falko Steinbach said it would help \"find answers\" to the virus. Almost all Asian elephants carry the virus, but it only develops into an illness for some and there is no vaccination against it. Two Asian elephants died of EEHV at Chester Zoo in 2018. Prof Steinbach, from the university's School of Veterinary Medicine, said a lot \"remains unknown about EEHV [but] with fewer than 50,000 Asian elephants left in the wild, it is important that we find answers\". \"Indali's recovery is wonderful news, and we will use what we have learnt from her case to help us find solutions against this deadly virus,\" he added. Vets at the zoo diagnosed the calf with the active virus in March and set about a programme of intensive treatment. Across a two-week period, Indali had nine anaesthetic procedures, blood plasma transfusions, interferon therapy, anti-viral medications and immune boosting treatments, as well as very large amounts of intravenous fluids. The zoo's chief executive Dr Mark Pilgrim said the two-year-old's recovery was a \"major milestone for conservation\". \"Only two years ago, the global search for a solution to the EEHV crisis looked unlikely to bear fruit,\" he said, adding: \"There is light at the end of the tunnel.\" Dr Akbar Dastjerdi, the head of APHA's Mammalian Virus Investigation Unit, said the treatment was the first step towards a cure. \"With the help of many devoted scholars, we have been able to develop a way to tackle EEHV,\" he said. \"Our efforts are now focused on designing and testing a vaccine to save this irreplaceable species from further suffering.\"",

Debbie Wilcox suggested she \"can't see how else\" councils could respond. But she said that it was \"very difficult\" to go out and ask people to pay more when services are \"thin\". Councils raise around £1.4bn annually from council tax, funding about 16% of their spending on local services. The average council tax in Wales is currently £1,251 per home, making a 5% rise an extra £62.50 a year. Asked if councils would have to increase council tax by the Welsh Government's preferred maximum of 5%, Ms Wilcox told Good Morning Wales: \"I can't see how else you can do it.\" \"Again, we're hitting the very people who are hit by austerity, so we're asking people to pay more for fewer things we can provide.\" The size of the Welsh Government's annual grant to each individual Welsh council will be announced on 10 October. As well as the Welsh Government cash, local authorities also raise funds through council tax and from charges for some services such as parking. Ms Wilcox said her local authority of Newport - where she is also leader - spent 70% of its budget on education and social services, which the Welsh Government has decided cannot be cut. \"I use this analogy - I used to have £100 per week to spend, now I've got £60. In anyone's language, £60 is less money, therefore I can buy fewer things.\" Welsh Conservative finance spokesman Nick Ramsay said: \"This is the latest budget in a number of years that's delivered a pretty poor deal for local government. We know they're already up against it.\" Ms Wilcox's comments come as Finance Secretary Mark Drakeford admitted that extra money for the NHS in Wales does not amount to a \"generous settlement\". The Welsh Government intends to consult on initial proposals to change council taxes in Wales in early 2018, which could include an updated valuation of properties - the last one was done in April 2003. Ministers in Cardiff have said they are planning to make changes that \"benefit those households which are less able to pay their council tax bills\". Analysis with BBC Wales political editor Nick Servini I cannot recall such a clear warning about council tax rises so quickly after a Welsh Government budget. We have not even had the individual council settlements yet and here we have the leader of the Welsh Local Government Association saying in clear terms that they will have no choice but to hit the 5% cap next year. Personal finance has been a feature of this budget with changes to stamp duty, and this is another direct link to family budgets. The message from the council lobby is that if local government funds are not protected, then there is an almost immediate impact on the council tax bills we will all be paying next year.",

            "input": "By Lucy AdamsBBC Scotland correspondent The landmark case is thought to be the first time in almost a century a woman has mounted a civil action in Scotland after an unsuccessful rape prosecution. Last year, another woman Denise Clair won a civil case against footballers David Goodwillie and David Robertson. But she took the action after the Crown had decided against prosecuting them. In the latest case, the woman, known as Miss M, has brought a civil case against Stephen Coxen for personal injury. Mr Coxen had been charged with raping the student at her flat while she was drunk during freshers' week in 2013. In November 2015, a jury found the case against him not proven, a verdict which has the same effect in law as not guilty. Miss M has now mounted an action through the civil courts, seeking just under £100,000 in damages and financial losses. She has been granted funding to cover her costs by the Scottish Legal Aid Board and the case will begin in March. She says she has been supported throughout the case by the University of St Andrews. In the previous case, Ms Clair, who had waived her anonymity, took her action against Goodwillie and Robertson after the Crown Office chose not to prosecute the footballers. The judge in the civil court found the rapes had happened and awarded Ms Clair £100,000 damages from the men. Miss M told BBC Scotland she had decided to mount her civil case in 2016, before Ms Clair's case became public knowledge. She said: \"After the criminal case I sought legal advice and that's when I realised that taking a rape case to a civil court was possible.\" Miss M said she had received funding from the Scottish Legal Aid Board and also from the Scottish Women's Rights Centre and Rape Crisis Scotland. \"I feel that the criminal case did fail me and I hope that through this a spotlight will be shone on the process,\" she said. \"Hopefully the civil route will get some justice for me and my family.\" She said she was not bringing the case to make money. \"It is highly unlikely I will see any of the money,\" she said, as the legal aid board will take back its costs. \"For me it has never been about the money. It is the only route I have left.\" \"It is an extremely difficult process to go through. \"I did think after the criminal trial that I wouldn't be able to continue and carry on into another avenue of legal proceedings but I wasn't ready to give up. \"I don't want to look back in 20 years and realise I could have gone down a different route. \"I want to do all I can do at the moment.\" Mr Coxen's lawyers, Thorley Stephenson in Edinburgh, confirmed he would be defending the action but declined to comment further. The burden of proof required in civil cases is lower than criminal cases. In a civil action, the case must be proved \"on the balance of probabilities\" whereas in criminal cases it must be \"beyond reasonable doubt\". The chief executive of Rape Crisis Scotland, Sandy Brindley, said that since last year's Denise Clair case a number of women had spoken to her about the possibility of a civil action. She said: \"People are saying to us they are desperate for some sort of validation or justice after rape. The civil route is not easy but it does give some possibility of justice.\" Ms Brindley added: \"I think there are a lot of barriers to a civil rape cases, not least how to fund it. \"It is also not people's first choice. What they want is justice through the criminal justice system. \"If you listen to the words of Denise Clair, she was always really clear this was not the justice she was looking for. \"We really need to concentrate on the criminal justice system and why it feels like it has let down so many rape complainers.\"",

So this was a romp through his best-known screen roles, complete with Connolly's inimitable commentary. Film, he told interviewer Francine Stock, was something he had always loved, as a boy watching Westerns in cinemas in Glasgow. Peter MacDougall, he said, was responsible for first getting him into acting: \"He said, I've just written you, and I read the script (Just Another Saturday) and I realised he HAD written me.\" Director Anthony Page cast him in Absolution (1978), alongside Richard Burton, \"because he wanted a hippy who could play a banjo and ride a motorbike\". He only met Burton 15 minutes before filming. Connolly says: \"He was wearing a mink jacket. I just thought, a mink jacket? Give me a break!\" \"He was the biggest star on the planet. The nearest I'd come before that was seeing Roy Rogers at the Glasgow Empire.\" He recalled being buried alive by Burton in the film. \"And they actually put me into the ground and put earth on me and because they were filming Richard Burton from behind, he was singing the whole time. 'I belong to Glasgow, dear old Glasgow town, there's nothing the matter with Glasgow when you're buried underground'.\" Connolly said his Catholic background helped him to give Burton, who was playing a priest, some advice. \"He - Burton - would walk around with his fags in his hand and I'd say 'cassocks have pockets, you know'. 'Look here'.\" He told the audience he felt limited as an actor. \"I never get asked to do auditions. They generally know what they want from me. But that was true of James Mason too, so that doesn't worry me.\" \"I'm amazed they always want the Glasgow accent. They don't seem to mind, whatever the setting. Sometimes I'm the only one with a Glasgow accent and no one seems to question it. It's like a classic joke: A Glaswegian walks into a film...\" He said had not heard anything about John Brown before taking the role in the film Mrs Brown (1997) - \"except that he'd had it off with the Queen. What else do you need to know?\" For the role he had to master riding a horse, and read between the lines with his co-star Judi Dench, who played Queen Victoria. \"At one point, I thought she actually fancied me. We were dancing an eightsome reel and she was all flushed and flirty and I thought she's coming on to me. And then I realised it was Queen Victoria who fancied me. So I did it back and it seemed to work.\" 'Ginks and Gonks' He is dismissive of method acting although he admits he tells the crew to give him time to concentrate on his lines when he's on set. \"I called my wife - Pamela Stephenson - and said \"how do you act?\" And she said 'it is beyond words'. 'Use your feelings. Think with your eyes.' As Shelley winters said: 'speak quietly and think out loud'.\" Connolly has just finished making the second instalment of The Hobbit in New Zealand - \"playing this incredible dwarf king who rides a pig and kills people with an axe\". He said he told director Peter Jackson he had not read The Hobbit and didn't like people who had. \"We're making a film, not a book. Where I grew up, there were Tolkien people and Incredible String Band people and I was definitely one of the Incredible String Band people and we didn't like the Tolkien people. You get a lot of them at the Edinburgh festival, armed with pamphlets, and they haven't seen any shows. I'm also very suspicious of anyone who is upset about wars between Ginks and Gonks.\" His infamously fraught relationship with the press continues. \"Last week I was at an event for the foreign journalists association and this big skinny woman said to me - you're so funny, you make us laugh so much, have you ever considered stand-up comedy?' I said, 'have you ever considered journalism?' And these people decide the Golden Globes?\" His latest role in Quartet - which is due out in January was also discussed. He stars alongside Maggie Smith, Tom Courtney and Andrew Sachs, as a retired opera singer. \"I'm the youngest one in the film apart from Sheridan Smith. It's not about dying, it's about staying alive.\" His challenge this time was singing. \"We try to keep the home open by singing. We didn't sound like opera singers. We sounded like four old guys singing. The director - Dustin Hoffman - was really moved. I thought he was going to cry.\" In the end, it was Connolly who cried as he accepted his Bafta Scotland award from fellow comedian Kevin Bridges. \"It's a delightful thing, coming from Scotland. I've been nominated for loads of these things - although sometimes it is like the kid in the remedial class being given a prize for being nice. \"Genuinely, to get this, I'd say it breaks my heart but it definitely touches me, somewhere I live. \"I guess you only get these things once in your life but if we could all meet once a fortnight and do it all again, that would be great.\"",

            "input": "By Dr Mark GriffithsGambling studies expert, Nottingham Trent University For the past 25 years I have been studying gambling and I passionately believe that gambling at its most extreme is just as addictive as any drug. The social and health costs of problem gambling are large and have many things in common with more traditional addictions, including moodiness, relationship problems, absenteeism from work, domestic violence, and bankruptcy. Health effects - for gamblers and their partners - include anxiety and depression, insomnia, intestinal disorders, migraine, stress related disorders, stomach problems, and suicidal thoughts. If behaviours like gambling can become a genuine addiction, there is no theoretical reason why some people might not become genuinely addicted to activities like video games, work or exercise. Research on pathological gamblers has reported at least one physical side effect when they undergo withdrawal, including insomnia, headaches, loss of appetite, physical weakness, heart palpitations, muscle aches, breathing difficulty, and chills. In fact, pathological gamblers appear to experience more physical withdrawal effects when attempting to stop their behaviour when compared directly with drug addicts. 'Most important thing' But when does an excessive healthy enthusiasm become an addiction? Excessive behaviour on its own does not mean someone is addicted. I can think of lots of people who engage in excessive activities but I wouldn't class them as addicts as they don't appear to experience any detrimental effects from engaging in the behaviour. In a nutshell, the fundamental difference between excessive enthusiasm and addiction is that healthy enthusiasms add to life whereas addiction takes away from it. For any behaviour to be defined as addictive, there have to be specific consequences such as it becoming the most important activity in the person's life or being the way they improve their mood. They may also begin to need to do more and more of the activity over time to feel the effects, and experience physical and psychological withdrawal symptoms if they can't do it. This may lead to conflict with work and personal responsibilities, and people may even experience \"relapses\" if they try to give up. The way addictions develop - whether chemical or behavioural - is complex. Addictive behaviour develops from a combination of a person's biological/genetic predisposition, the social environment they were brought up in, their psychological constitution - such as personality factors, attitudes, expectations and beliefs, and the activity itself. Many behavioural addictions are \"hidden\" addictions. Unlike, say, alcoholism, there is no slurred speech and no stumbling into work. However, behavioural addiction is a health issue that needs to be taken seriously by all those in the health and medical profession. If the main aim of practitioners is to ensure the health of their patients, then an awareness of behavioural addiction and the issues surrounding it should be an important part of basic knowledge and training. Behavioural addictions can be just as serious as drug addictions.",

'Further uncertainty' Martin GIlbert, chief executive of Aberdeen Asset Management told the BBC's Today programme: \"I don't think any of us know what to make of the result. \"The City will be hoping for a slightly softer tone and possibly a softer tone from Europe now that the really the negotiators don't have a mandate to negotiate a hard Brexit.\" Dr Adam Marshall, director general of the British Chambers of Commerce (BCC), agreed that a new government must be formed quickly. \"After two long years of elections, referenda and wider uncertainty, many businesses were doing their best to ignore the noise of politics - up until today,\" he said. \"The electorate's split decision generates further uncertainty for business communities, who are already grappling with currency fluctuations, rising costs, and the potential impacts of Brexit. \"The formation of a workable administration that can give voters and businesses confidence around economic management must be the immediate priority.\" Brexit focus Stephen Martin, director general of the Institute of Directors, said businesses had been \"thrown into political limbo\". \"The majority of British business will be waiting to see whether a stable government can be formed in short order. \"If the Conservatives govern as a minority, they must recognise that they have not earned a mandate to implement their manifesto in full. \"Now is the time to move on from the rhetoric of the election campaign and focus on preparing for Brexit talks.\" Terry Scuoler, chief executive of EEF, the manufacturers' organisation, said: \"The Brexit negotiating strategy requires a careful rethink. \"Industry should be at the table, alongside whatever administration is formed, to help ensure we have the right negotiating position, which is something that's been sadly lacking until now. \"The main parties have championed an industrial strategy for Britain and this must not be a casualty of the political turmoil.\"",

And, in line with Michael Fallon and Chris Grayling's comments, the government is ready to listen to the case to \"scrap the cap\" - bringing a potential end to the policy that was designed to save £5bn for the public purse by 2020. By teatime however, after the Treasury had slightly less enthusiastically said they were \"open to discussion\", that nurse, social worker, teacher or doctor had slightly less cause for feeling optimistic about a bigger pay rise any time soon. Number 10 had perhaps not changed, but certainly tweaked, their tune - saying when asked repeatedly that the policy has not changed, the independent pay review bodies will report in due course and the government will consider their proposals. So far, so confusing. Neither Number 10 nor the Treasury, who it's suggested were not entirely thrilled with the suggestion, are ready by the end of this political day to be able to make such a big change, or to give Labour such a big victory.

            "input": "By Peter MarshallPresenter, The Report Skilled workers The greatest number of migrant visas, nearly 169,000 this year, are tied to people who come to Britain for work. Before they get their visas there has to be a job offer. Beyond this, applications for leave to remain are decided on a points system based on factors including previous earnings, qualifications and age. Josy Joseph, a skilled nurse from Kerala in south India, works in an intensive care unit at a hospital in Kent, after four years at nursing college, a two-year internship and a year working in Saudi Arabia. Josy expects to be forced to leave in 2017. New regulations mean she'll be allowed leave to remain only if she's earning at least £35,000. For all her training and experience, a salary like that is out of her league. And her husband, who has an MBA and works in a fast-food restaurant, will have to go too. Josy thinks they'll go to Australia where she says specialist nurses are welcome. She agrees with the head of NHS England, who says that new, tighter visa rules are squeezing out the likes of Josy and simultaneously increasing pressure on the NHS. \"Either they'll be under a permanent staff shortage or they'll have to hire agency staff to cover the positions. They are going to lose the nurses, they'll have to replace them, they'll have to train the new staff. And we are taking all the skills with us wherever we go.\" Students This year 280,000 non-EU citizens will enter the UK on study visas. By far the greatest number, around 80,000 of them, will be Chinese. One of these is Cherry Yu Qiu, a 23-year-old from Shanghai who's just finished her Master's degree at Goldsmith's College. She now has a maximum of four months to find a job and a visa and is looking to work in the media or PR. But if she does go back to China she'd like an employer who'd send her back to Britain. \"We call it seagull. Like a half a year in Britain and half a year in China. Young graduates, if they go back to China, they are going to be turtles, they can only stay in the sea, they can never get used to the environment. Of course I'd rather be the seagull.\" The super-rich For wealthy people, the route to UK residency is straightforward. Yulia Andresyuk, a lawyer with a London firm which helps the super-rich get residency in Britain, says the basic qualification for a Tier 1 investor visa \"is [the] ability to show that you have £2m. Once you receive your visa you would have a certain amount of time, that's three months to invest it into the UK in a certain way. That means investing into government gilts or bonds, buying shares or giving it as a loan to a company operating in the UK. \"Initially your visa is given for three years, then it can be extended for another two. After the five years that you have lived here you can apply for your permanent residency.\" But the amount invested, she explains, speeds up the process. \"If you invest £5m you can apply for your permanent residency after three years. If you invest £10m, you can apply for permanent residency after two years. \"Those people are tax residents here, they have to pay taxes. They're setting up companies here for creating jobs. I think they are very beneficial to the UK.\" There were nearly 1,200 visas issued to the super-rich last year, not exactly swarms but double the number in 2013. Backpackers More than 20,000 people living in the UK this year will have Youth Mobility Scheme visas, which are valid for two years. They need to be aged 18 to 30 and have £1,890 savings. They come from a mixed bag of countries including Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Japan and even Monaco. One of them, Australian Nate James, became a waiter in London. \"I was working in a restaurant on the Thames and every day I would see something amazing go down the river. Every day something crazy would happen and I really loved seeing that.\" In the evenings Nate took a short course in audio engineering. After his visa came to an end, he tried to get a study visa. But, as the private college he attended was not registered for foreign students, he did not qualify for one. So, as 2014 dawned, Nate was on a plane back to Oz. But he wasn't giving up on his dream. Descendants For those with British ancestors, the door to the UK is still open. A UK Ancestry visa, allowing someone to work in the UK for five years, is available to Commonwealth citizens with British (and in certain cases Irish) grandparents. After five years, the visa holder can apply for an extension or to settle in the UK permanently. Three weeks after being thrown out in January last year Nate, the Australian backpacker, discovered that his grandmother had been born in Sheffield and \"immediately applied for ancestry to come back and finish what I'd started\". Just over 4,000 of these visas were issued last year. Entrepreneurs The UK also provides visas for those who want to set up or run a business in the UK. Natalie Meyer, a 26-year-old Californian, was a postgraduate student at the LSE. But, with new rules allowing postgraduate foreign students just four months to look for work and an employer to act as sponsor, she decided to apply for an entrepreneur's visa. The Home Office issues only around 1,200 of these annually, imposing tough conditions. Natalie needed a big idea, a minimum of £200,000 to invest in it, and the long-term commitment to take on at least two employees. With a family based in Silicon Valley, she used their connections to set up a software business in Britain and organised a second enterprise, offering \"cultural insights, professional introductions and market research for Japanese companies entering the UK and vice-versa\". Her visa runs out in March and she has applied for a two-year extension, but is feeling stressed. \"I've created jobs and if I'm not allowed to stay, those jobs that I've created will actually disappear. So it's actually beneficial to the UK for me to be here.\" Family It was an arranged marriage which brought Pragati Gupta to Swindon two years ago. She'd met her husband Aviral Mittal, a micro-electronics engineer, via an online matchmaking website. They're both from India but he's a British citizen and has been in the UK since 2000. As Pragati puts it: \"I was looking for a match and he meets my requirements.\" She says she always wanted to go abroad and after the wedding, back in India, a Family Visa, available to a spouse or child of a UK citizen, entitled her to enter the UK. There will be just over 35,000 family visas issued this year. Pragati is delighted with the UK - she says life is more fun and exciting here. She's also pleased with her husband, saying he's humble, down to earth and family-minded and that \"you make a match but then you start talking and the love develops\".

To overcome her condition she used treatment developed in the US where flashing lights and other stimulants help patients deal with images that have stayed with them. While serving with the RAF, Ms Horton was responsible for dealing with the bodies of six members of the Royal Military Police who were murdered at a police station in the south-eastern town of Amara. Traumatic memories Recalling the experience, Ms Horton said: \"The whole day had been horrific from the beginning and then in the afternoon I hear that I'm to receive the bodies of these gentleman. \"The sight was so horrific, that I stood alone for a while with them because I couldn't bear the nurses to see them. I struggled for some while, trying to make the site so that we could cope with it as a team.\" Ms Horton and her fellow nurses had to care for the soldiers before their bodies were taken to Basra hospital. A year later, while working as an occupational health nurse back in the UK, she began to suffer flashbacks. Five years later, she was diagnosed with severe post-traumatic stress disorder and referred to St Georges Hospital in Stafford. The treatment that helped Ms Horton is called eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) and helps people to process traumatic memories. 'This is bonkers' It is a form of psychotherapy that includes eight phases of treatment and involves focussing on a moving image while thinking about a painful memory. It helps the patient to process the difficult emotion. Ms Horton said: \"When I first saw the flashing light, and the vibrating things in my hands, I thought 'this is bonkers - how is this going to help me?' \"I went into it with enthusiasm, realising that I was quite ill psychologically.\" The therapy sessions with Dr Shirley Timpson, consultant psychologist at St George's Hospital, were initially \"difficult and very painful\", but they helped Ms Horton to develop memories instead of nightmares. She said: \"The combination of the focussing on the lights seemed to do something to my brain, because although I could still see the four walls in the room and Dr Timpson, very realistically my mind and my thoughts were back in Iraq and it was important that we identified trigger points and talked through them. \"Interestingly, I was able to remember some of the funny and happy times.\" Dr Timson said: \"We process things during rapid eye movement sleep and when we dream, so we process what we experience on a daily basis. \"If something is too emotionally charged, too traumatic, we can fail to process and therefore, what EMDR does is try to emulate what happens during the natural process during sleep.\" She feels that there are other servicemen and women, and people in the emergency services, who do not like to ask for help because they believe they are just doing their job.

Rebecca, who is an atheist, has lived with the Muslim family since the age of 12. Now 18, she has chosen to continue living with them. She is keen to make her voice heard only weeks after a case involving a five-year-old Christian girl, who was reportedly left distressed after being placed with Muslim foster carers, hit the headlines. A family court judge later ruled there were no concerns about the girl's welfare. Rebecca tells the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire programme without Shanaz and Muhammad she \"wouldn't have anyone else to call family\". She has referred to them as \"mum and dad\" since the third month of living together. She has learned basic Urdu to become closer to them, and has travelled with the family to Pakistan - something that stirred opinions among school friends. One told her she was \"living with terrorists\", she says. Others have talked about her family having \"explosives\". Rebecca remembers being perplexed. \"I live in a family as anyone else would.\" Shanaz says she has also been hurt by comments. \"People think the girl will lose her identity. People question, 'Is she going to become one of you? Is she going to have an arranged marriage?' \"We are trying to give this child the best care in the world.\" The family is also fostering an Afghan boy and Kenyan girl - and Shanaz is keen to explain that Rebecca has been able to maintain \"her own identity\". \"Rebecca is going to be Rebecca,\" she says. \"Fostering isn't about imposing religion. Foster carers are not there to remould them.\" She says she has spoken about Islam with Rebecca but \"never imposed it\" on her. \"We celebrate every culture and religion in this household. We celebrate Christmas because it's a holiday and festival time.\" 'Inspired by Christianity' The government says it does not have statistics on how many interracial placements there are. But it is estimated that 3,000 Muslim children are placed into foster care each year. Krish Kandiah, a Christian theologian, has fostered children from a broad range of religious and cultural backgrounds. \"Reading the Bible, it has so much to say about vulnerable kids in our society,\" he says, explaining his choice to foster. He dismisses the idea that having Christianity as a key motivator for becoming a foster parent is in conflict with the role, which requires children's religious choices to be respected. \"When Muslim kids have come into my care I have asked how we can help, how we should honour that. \"We've had Halal meat, made a Koran available. If my kid was in care, I'd want their faith to be respected.\" He says that there have been instances where people are \"very critical\" of foster carers. But, he adds, \"I'd tell critics to step up and foster themselves\". Not all placements are a success. Jerome Harvey, who's 26, said his identity was overlooked by a Muslim family he lived with at the age of four. \"The first family I lived with were Indian Muslim, and it was just a massive culture shock,\" he says. \"The first thing that stood out to me was the food. We didn't recognise it, [but] they forced us to eat it. \"They lost us,\" he adds. \"A carer's job is to find you, but they lost us because they weren't interested in who we were before we got there. \"We didn't celebrate Christmas.\" He says the family did not introduce him to their culture either. \"If anything they damaged us further. They excluded us from who they were. \"We'd watch them pray but not really understand why they were doing it, or what it is, and just copy.\" Cultural needs Kevin Williams, chief executive of the charity Fostering Network, says over the last 20 years there has been much greater understanding of the need to support a foster child's \"culture and beliefs\". Foster parents are trained to ensure they are prepared to look after children of all backgrounds, he adds, with social workers acting as a safeguard. Mr Williams is clear that foster parents should \"not be forcing a religion onto a child\", but that - if they are religious - they can talk to the child about this, as it is important for them to be made aware of \"different experiences\". The charity estimates that there is currently a shortage of 8,000 foster carers across the UK. \"We want children to be matched as closely as possible with a family - including religious and cultural needs - but this is not always possible,\" Mr Williams explains. He hopes more Muslim families will want to foster in future so that they can care for children of all beliefs. Rebecca asks people not to take a negative view of Muslim foster parents. \"Don't judge a book by its cover. You can't believe everything that's on the news, or what's been said about Islam,\" she says.

The reports are that executives at Citigroup, JP Morgan and Standard Chartered have agreed to be placed on leave, but none has been accused of any wrongdoing. They are Rohan Ramchandani of Citigroup, Matt Gardiner of Standard Chartered and Richard Usher at JP Morgan. RBS declined to comment. It is among several banks believed to have been contacted by regulators in recent weeks about foreign exchange dealing. Others include Citigroup, Deutsche Bank and Barclays. 'No surprise' On Wednesday Barclays became the latest bank to confirm it had launched its own internal probe into its foreign exchange trading. Regulators, including the UK's Financial Conduct Authority, are looking at allegations traders used instant messaging services to fix rates - similar to the Libor-fixing scandal which resulted in big fines for major banks in 2012. Bankers were found to have colluded in fixing the Libor (London Interbank Offered Rate) rate - an interest rate used by many banks, mortgage lenders, and others to set the price of borrowing on trillions of pounds of financial contracts. Currently, foreign exchange prices are set at 16:00 in London each day during a one minute window. There are suspicions traders used this window to manipulate prices. Speaking on the BBC's Newsnight programme, Kathleen Brooks, research director at Forex.com, said it was not a surprise that the foreign exchange market has come in for regulatory scrutiny, given its size. She said the outcome of the investigations might affect London's standing as the centre of the forex market. \"[London] has a very good reputation, but continual regulatory probes are chipping away at that,\" she said.",

Operator Regal Care Trading would not tell the BBC the number of deaths. But it said a subsequent CQC report had noted improvements. 'Significant concerns' The details emerged in the home's most recent inspection report, which graded services overall as \"inadequate\". It referred to previous inspections on 3 and 4 March, however, which found poor care and \"significant shortfalls in management\". It disclosed how, six months prior to the pandemic, the CQC and Essex County Council had \"significant concerns\" about the \"lack of systems\" and leadership at the home in Kirby Road. \"When the pandemic came, the service was ill prepared to manage the outbreak, resulting in significant consequences for the service, people and staff,\" it said. \"The service had a high number of infections and deaths due to Covid-19.\" Even after the March inspections, Regal Care Trading failed to recognise poor oversight, which led to shortcomings in infection control, poor care and unsafe use of equipment. \"They have continually blamed Covid 19 on the failings at the service and not the preceding poor management and provider lack of oversight,\" the report said. Complaints from three families have also been escalated to the Local Government Ombudsman. 'Appropriate systems' At the time of the March inspection, 37 elderly people were living at the facility. By May that figure had reduced to 18. According to the Office for National Statistics, there were 45 registered Covid-19 deaths in care homes across Tendring between the start of the pandemic and 30 October. This figure does not include any care home residents who may been among 125 people from the district who died in hospital over the same period. In a statement, Regal Care Trading said: \"It is true that a number of residents previously became infected and, although some have recovered, unfortunately a few residents died in the home and in local hospital due to Covid-19 related complications. \"The home did, and continues to, work openly and transparently with the local GP, CQC, safeguarding team, district nurses and the local authority to ensure that residents' physical health needs were met during this period. \"At the time of the recent inspection, CQC noted that the home has appropriate systems and processes in place in relation to infection prevention and control\".

            "input": "A review of \"chaotic\" quarantine rules should consider a \"robust testing regime\", given the \"dire warnings\" from the travel industry, the party says. PM Boris Johnson has said airport tests would identify only 7% of cases and so could give a \"false sense of security\". And Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab said testing was not a \"silver bullet\". \"That's why we have the quarantine,\" Mr Raab told the BBC's Andrew Marr Show. \"The idea that one test in an airport could resolve the quarantine issues... we couldn't safely do that,\" he said. A government spokesman said assessment of how testing might help was ongoing. \"Any potential change to the testing for arrivals would need to be robust in minimising the chance that positive cases are missed,\" he said. The BBC has been told a cabinet decision on whether to introduce airport testing has been repeatedly postponed and now may never happen. In a letter to Home Secretary Priti Patel, Labour argues the UK's quarantine arrangements are \"losing public confidence and undermining our ability to keep people safe and save jobs\". Shadow home secretary Nick Thomas-Symonds told the BBC's Andrew Marr Show he was calling for a \"two test system\". \"It isn't just about a test in an airport,\" he said, adding that follow-up tests would improve the accuracy of the results. \"If the government had it [a two test system] up and running it would take away need for 14 day quarantine policy,\" he said. People entering the UK face 14 days of self-isolation unless they are travelling from countries that are exempt - a status determined by the separate authorities in each of the four nations. In recent weeks, Britons holidaying in France, Spain and the Netherlands have been caught out by the removal of exemptions at short notice. Last week, Scotland and Wales told arrivals from Portugal and parts of Greece to quarantine, while England and Northern Ireland held off. UK Transport Secretary Grant Shapps admitted it had created a \"confusing\" situation for travellers. In theory, airport testing is a great idea and would reduce the length of time quarantine could take. But there are a number of problems. The incubation period for coronavirus - the point at which someone becomes infected to the point at which they show symptoms - can be up to 14 days. In the early part of the incubation period the test may not pick up the virus. So you cannot just test at the airport and think someone is clear. They would still have to quarantine and then the idea discussed is that they would be tested after maybe seven or 10 days. That has a minimal effect on quarantine and would put the testing regime under even more strain. A more immediate solution - and one that has been put to the government - is to be a little more intelligent with the quarantine rules. It is a rather blunt tool - some countries are on the quarantine list with infection rates only a little higher than the UK. And national infection rates miss the differences between regions. One suggestion is you only insist on quarantine when a traveller has been in a high infection rate area. But of course that becomes even harder to enforce. In his letter to the home secretary, Mr Thomas-Symonds calls for a review to report back within a fortnight. \"It should include outlining options for a robust testing regime in airports, and related follow-up tests, that could help to safely minimise the need for 14-day quarantine,\" he writes. \"Given the huge challenges being faced by the travel sector and the scale of job losses, it makes sense to look at this area as part of a wider package of improvements to the testing regime.\" He also said there were \"serious concerns\" about the poor monitoring of incoming travellers, claiming \"less than a third of passenger-locator forms are checked\". Airlines have criticised the use of quarantine measures at a time when lockdowns around the world have contributed to a collapse in passenger demand. On Friday, Virgin Atlantic announced plans to axe another 1,150 jobs after completing a £1.2bn rescue deal, months after making 3,150 redundancies as a result of the collapse in demand caused by the pandemic. Airport bosses have also criticised ministers. On-site testing facilities had already been set up at London's Heathrow Airport, chief executive John Holland-Kaye said last week. \"It is frustrating that the government just has not made a decision to get on with this, when governments in other countries in Europe are getting on and making it happen,\" he added. France and Germany are using testing at airports for passengers arriving from countries with a higher infection rate. And, on Friday, former Brexit Secretary David Davis said testing at UK airports - with passengers given results within two hours - could cut quarantine to \"less than five days\". \"If anybody is positive, they should be quarantined right there,\" he said, arguing the government could pay to house them in under-used airport hotels. However, the prime minister responded by pointing to Public Health England modelling suggesting only 7% of cases would be picked up. While he understood \"the difficulties\" the airline industry was facing, Mr Johnson said \"93% of the time you could have a real false sense of security, a false sense of confidence when you arrive and take a test\". \"The quarantine system that we have has got to be an important part of our repertoire, of our toolbox, in fighting Covid,\" he added.",

The Sunday Mail sold 400,106 copies a week last month - up 12,000 on the year. The Post sold 324,554 - up just over 1,000. Both figures include sales south of the border and overseas. Some of the Sunday tabloids based in England have attracted new readers in Scotland since the News of the World closed in July, although their sales north of the border remain modest compared to the Mail or the Post. Both the Mail and the Post have put on readers since July, but the annual trend is seen as more significant in the industry. South of the border, the Sunday Mirror, Sunday People and the Daily Star have all seen substantial rises in their sales over the past four months. One possible explanation for the lower gains in Scotland is that a number of News of the World readers also bought the Sunday Mail or the Sunday Post, so may simply be buying one fewer title now. Among daily papers, the now familiar picture of monthly sales decline continued. The Herald fell to 46,797 - its lowest sales figure in modern times. Last September it sold 53,348 copies a day. The Scotsman sold 39,428 against 43,435 in September last year. Around 3,500 of these sales were so-called multiple sales - copies given away at airports and hotels. The Daily Record's rate of decline has generally been slower than that of the two quality titles. In September it sold 298,010 copies a day - 270,000 of them in Scotland. The Sun sold 314,086 north of the border while the Daily Mail's circulation was 115,598. Among the serious Sunday papers, the Sunday Herald sold just 29,159 copies a week, suggesting that it is still struggling to win back readers after its relaunch as a news magazine in January. Its sales have hovered between about 29,000 and 32,000 in recent months compared to 42,000 before the relaunch. Scotland on Sunday had a circulation of 49,112 compared to 55,949 in September last year, while Scottish sales of the Sunday Times declined over the year from 61,817 to 52,593.",

            "input": "By John SudworthBBC News, Shanghai And in the early part of this year, much of the gossip among the shop owners and stall holders centred on the goings on, and the money to be made, not far away on the other side of the dirty old Huangpu River, at the Shanghai Stock Exchange. \"I hadn't done any stock market investments before,\" Lin Jinxia tells me, \"but I was influenced by all the talk.\" Ms Lin lives at the top of seven flights of stairs, the landings of which are littered with dusty old bicycles, in a tiny apartment with her husband and her four-year-old son. They're migrant workers who arrived from Fujian Province five years ago and, through hard graft in their shop selling buttons to a bustling garment industry, they've saved themselves a tidy fortune. Then in May this year they ploughed a large chunk of it into the stock market, investing more than 200,000 RMB ($32,000: £20,000) into four separate stocks. It seemed a sensible enough spread with picks from the electronics, fashion and car-sales industries. But the timing was terrible. They all tanked, collectively standing now at just half of their original purchase price, amounting to a combined loss for Ms Lin and her husband of 100,000 RMB. \"I've lost so much of the money that I've worked so hard for,\" she says. \"Now I'm having to save and cut down on my spending. We don't earn much, it was all money from our hard work.\" In China, unlike in the European or US markets, individuals make up around 80% of the investors. Many of them are new and inexperienced, often following whim and rumour to make decisions and so the market is arguably more vulnerable to quick turnarounds in herd behaviour. Having been marching share prices up the hill for well over a year, on 12 June the crowd suddenly veered back down again and three weeks later almost a third of the value - $3.2 trillion - had been wiped away in three short weeks. 'I knew there were risks' Chen Zhihui's small tailors shop can be found - although not that easily - down a passageway close to Lin Jinxia's home. And like his neighbour, he too acted on the advice of all those who had, until recently, been making nice fat paper profits, not realising he was entering the fray at the worst possible moment. \"To me, personally, I knew there were risks,\" he tells me from his tiny workspace with his sewing machine whirring away beside us. He bought just one company, 10,000 RMB's worth of a Chinese steel-maker, only to find his shares suddenly trading at around half their original value. And while his losses are relatively small, Mr Chen is well aware that in almost every other shop and home in this district and beyond, there are others in a similar predicament, or fearing that they soon might be. \"If everyone lost 5,000 RMB it could add up to a big amount,\" he says. For many analysts that explains why the Chinese government has been so keen to stop the market sliding any further. Economic impact Once it saw a buoyant stock market as a key part of its strategic shift to a consumer society with rapidly increasing share ownership having the twin benefits of both recapitalising the country's big debt-laden firms and, at the same time, making the small punter feel richer. Now the Communist party faces the frightening prospect of the very opposite effect; as savings vanish into thin air, millions of investors are simultaneously tightening their belts with potentially chilling impacts for the Chinese economy and beyond. For now, it is only the late arrivals to China's stock market binge that have been burned, with the recent, sharp depreciation in value still comfortably outweighed by longer term gains going back a year and more. But the slew of measures the authorities have unleashed in the past few days are part of an attempt - perhaps futile - to stop things getting any worse. It has been criticised by outside observers, of course, as dangerous political meddling in the workings of the markets and their ability to put a proper price on risk. But then, it could be argued, that exact same charge could be levelled at the attempts to pump up the markets in the first place. Politics not economics Some analysts dismiss the fear that a full blown stock market collapse could precipitate a wider economic shock. \"The stock market is too small, too tiny, completely irrelevant,\" Chen Long, China economist at Gavekal Dragonomics tells me. \"It accounts for just 5% of Chinese household wealth and anyway the market is still up on where it was last year.\" Much more could yet be wiped off the value of Chinese shares, it would follow, before anyone needs to panic, least of all the government. So perhaps, if this view is correct, Beijing's actions are motivated by the need to contain the political fallout, rather than the economic. In the middle of an already tricky slowdown in GDP growth the last thing it needs is hordes of mom and pop stock traders taking to the streets. And so far, at least, that part of the strategy might be working with little sign of any anger. Despite her already heavy losses, Lin Jinxia's plan is to hang onto her massively devalued stock in the hope it rises again. \"I believe the government will come up with the right strategies,\" she tells me. Confident investor Liu Changrong is a restaurateur, selling noodles, pork chops and sticky rice a block or so's walk from Mr Chen the tailor. He is either canny or lucky, or both. \"You just need to buy at the right point,\" he tells me. He did exactly that, buying 200,000 RMB worth of shares in a large Chinese conglomerate last year and then selling them all in May, just below their peak. He made a very nice profit indeed, coming out more than 50%. You might think that would be a good place to call it a day. But despite the cautionary tales of his neighbours all around him he's still confident the government will turn things around. \"When the market improves, I'll get back in again,\" he tells me as he puts a big pan of water on to boil.",

But another threat comes from fighting around the key port city of Hudaydah, which is the principal lifeline for almost two-thirds of the population. Save the Children says a total of 5.2 million children now face famine. Why is there a war in Yemen? Yemen has been devastated by a conflict that escalated in early 2015, when the rebel Houthi movement seized control of much of the west of the country and forced President Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi to flee abroad. Alarmed by the rise of a group they saw as an Iranian proxy, Saudi Arabia and eight other Arab states intervened in an attempt to restore the government. They have received logistical and intelligence support from the US, UK and France. At least 6,660 civilians have been killed and 10,563 injured in the conflict, according to the UN. Thousands more civilians have died from preventable causes, including malnutrition, disease and poor health. The fighting and a partial blockade by the coalition have also left 22 million people in need of humanitarian aid, created the world's largest food security emergency, and led to a cholera outbreak that is thought to have affected 1.1 million people. Why can people no longer afford food? The war has also led to severe delays in paying the salaries of teachers and public servants, with some people receiving no wages for almost two years. Those who are paid face food prices which are 68% more expensive than when the war began. Meanwhile, the Yemeni riyal has lost almost 180% of its value over the same period, according to Save the Children. Earlier this month, the currency reached its lowest value in history, placing a further burden on population. Fears also remain of potential damage to or a blockade of Hudaydah's port as a result of the fighting. The UN has warned that in a worst-case scenario, the battle for Hudaydah could cost up to 250,000 lives, as well as cut off aid supplies to millions of people living in rebel-held areas. What has Save the Children said? \"Millions of children don't know when or if their next meal will come,\" the chief executive of Save the Children International, Helle Thorning-Schmidt, said in a statement. \"In one hospital I visited in north Yemen, the babies were too weak to cry, their bodies exhausted by hunger. \"This war risks killing an entire generation of Yemen's children who face multiple threats, from bombs to hunger to preventable diseases like cholera,\" she added. Earlier this month, Save the Children said that more than 36,000 children could die from extreme hunger before the end of the year.",

Ms Attwood added: \"So my experience with it was really good and really positive, whereas other girls might not have had the same protection.\" Watch the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire programme on weekdays between 09:00 and 11:00 on BBC Two and the BBC News Channel.",

            "input": "Following his stop in Seville, Andalucia, he chairs a second Twitter debate with three unemployed people in Jerez, near Cadiz. Again, here are the highlights, and to find out more read Patrick's blog on Tumblr. Patrick (above, left) was joined by people who support Podemos, the new party of the indignados, or 15M as they call themselves, a \"more serious\" version of the Occupy movement. First is Jose, 29, who studied human resources at the University of Cadiz and whose last job ended in February. He had been working in the UK for four months, in a warehouse in Manchester for £6 an hour, but could not get enough hours and came back to Cadiz. Jose is joined by Mayte, 30, a fellow graduate of the University of Cadiz, who lost her job a year ago, as a packer for a mail-order firm, which collapsed. She studied philology and has an MA in teaching. Both are joined by Moises, 40, who lost his job as a teacher two years ago during Spain's budget cuts. The place of 15M I ask the group: \"Should the 15M be getting involved in politics at all?\" \"Podemos is very important because we want a voice inside the institutions,\" says Jose. \"15M represents the spirit of the street, but a political party offers a vision for society and that's why Podemos exists,\" says Moises. Moises adds: \"To create jobs it is vital to change the economic mindset. Don't rescue banks - rescue people.\" Mayte says: \"We don't want to pay the public debt. We want to break with the capitalist system. Work less so everyone can work some!\" Difficult questions I pose another question: \"Who did you vote for at your first election?\" Moises voted Socialist, Mayte voted Green and Jose doesn't want to say. Moving on, I throw in a controversial retweet: Jose replies: \"Work in England is very precarious. All the Spanish people going there have to work in very bad conditions.\" Followed by Moises: \"I worked in Germany. Of course I like England. The point is that we need to change the economy in Spain.\" And then Mayte: \"I don't want people to be treated as goods or that anyone has to change their country in order to survive.\" I throw in another question: \"Would the parents of any of the three vote for Podemos?\" Jose's parents voted for the ruling, centre-right Popular Party, while Moises' \"whole family voted for the Socialists\". \"It's very important to raise the wages of workers and lower the salaries of those at the top. We have to bridge the gap,\" adds Jose. A return to action After a break from the debate, Sigrid Holmwood asks the panel if they think people who previously voted for the Popular Party will vote for Podemos. \"A lot of working class people with no interest in politics voted [for] the Popular Party, without understanding what it really stood for,\" says Mayte. \"A lot of people see no alternative to the two big parties because public opinion has been manipulated by the mass media,\" says Jose. With a flag of the pre-Civil War Spanish Republic hanging on the wall of our debating chamber, I ask those assembled if Spaniards are wary of radical politics because of memories of the war. Moises says: \"Some people. Old people, for example.\" Jose says: \"Radicalism does not have to be violent. The government is violent towards society.\" Mayte says: \"Being radical just means getting to the root of the problem.\" Final thoughts I ask the three if they had jobs, would they still support Podemos? Although everybody agrees they would, Moises adds: \"Podemos is not just for jobless people, it's for all ordinary people.\" @mywebslap tweets to ask: \"Do you think that our actual politicians in the EU will be able to change things in Spain?\" I ask what the worst aspect of their unemployment is. \"If you don't have a job, you are nobody,\" says Jose. \"The main thing is the psychological aspect.\" \"Being unemployed,\" says Mayte, \"you feel you are trash in the eyes of the state.\" On the back of which, agree Moises and Mayte, Podemos has offered a political solution to people. \"A teaching tool for social change,\" adds Jose.

The Avengers star is expected to give the Age of AI mass appeal. One AI expert said there was \"lots of eye candy for viewers with short attention spans\". Calum Chace, author of four books on the subject, added that artificial intelligence is a \"large, complex, and important\" subject. And he noted that YouTube - whose parent company Google is a huge investor and user of related technologies - had engaged with some of its controversies. \"The message of the [first] episode is clear: machine learning can make us more human, not less, but we will have to think carefully about where we want to draw the line,\" he remarked. YouTube originally put most of its original content behind a paywall, but changed its strategy earlier this year. As a result, viewers can watch the series for free but will have to wait for each episode to be released in turn unless they pay a \"premium\" subscription fee, in which case the first four shows are unlocked . Baby X The first episode of the Age of AI centres on a digitally-created, AI-powered baby. The Baby X project, led by special-effects artist Mark Sagar, aims to teach a digital infant via a virtual brain powered by neural networks. The second episode focuses on AI and healthcare, a controversial area Google is heavily invested in. It shows how a speech assistance tool - WaveNet developed by the tech giant's DeepMind division - is helping a former National Football League (NFL) athlete speak again with computer-generated voice that sounds like he used to. Tim Shaw has trouble speaking as a result of motor neuron disease. He provided voice samples from prior to his diagnosis that DeepMind attempts to recreate. His family hear his new synthesised voice for the first time in the episode. Prof Noel Sharkey is known to UK audiences for his work on the BBC's Robot Wars and Techno Games TV series, and is also a leading critic of big tech's involvement in the field. He praised the new series' \"high quality production\" values, but voiced concern about the way it covered a digital avatar created for the musician Will.i.am in the first episode. \"While it was very impressive, it failed to adequately address the downsides of the potential deceit of projecting a false image of particular people,\" he commented. \"Given that Google [funded] this production, it is vitally important to ensure public understanding of such tech rather than paint it in such glowing colours.\" Choosing Robert Downey Jr to host this series was an inspired choice - who wouldn't want to hear Iron Man talking about the future? But he doesn't feature much - acting more as a voice-over with just a cameo performance at the start, explaining some of the more complex terms associated with AI. The first episode really attempts to answer one of the central questions about the tech - whether AI can ever achieve human-level intelligence and whether it should. And it does so by humanising it, first via a cute-looking baby, modelled on Mr Sagar's own daughter, and then via work at Georgia Tech to provide intelligence, AI-powered robotic arms for amputees. The message is very much that technology has the power to enhance humans not overtake them. Baby-themed AI is a great way to start this series - not only because the tech itself is in its infancy but because it illustrates how much work is involved in teaching an AI program, from understanding how to identify objects to developing human-like emotional responses. Baby X quickly becomes more creepy as the layers of virtual muscles and a virtual brain powered by neural networks are unveiled on the screen. But as she accurately identifies a toy spider but goes on to misidentify a rubber duck, you realise that she really doesn't have the intelligence of a real toddler. And this seems to be another central message of the doc - AI is good, it has huge potential but it also has a long way to go. It is in Google's interest - with its huge AI investments in self-driving cars, healthcare and voice and image recognition - to remove the fear factor from the technology it is betting a lot of its future on. But the fact that the second episode features tech the firm itself has develops suggests it may be using the doc as something of a marketing tool. So far the series is engaging and neither over-simplifies nor over-complicates. It is also clearly determined not to over-hype AI, something much needed in a sea of \"we are all doomed\" headlines. It will be interesting to see whether it tackles the more controversial aspects of AI, such as privacy and data collection.",

Half of the workforce of 1,930 at Bridgend work on that engine. At the moment Ford Bridgend makes half a million engines a year for Ford's own models and a quarter of a million for JLR. After 2020 the number of engines being made on the site will be just a quarter of present production levels. Ford said it was not giving any detail as yet of how the workforce will be run down as it is in consultation with unions. A spokesman said it would \"continue to look at other high technology opportunities for Bridgend in the future.\" Last month, the workforce voted for industrial action over concerns about the plant's future. JLR said: \"Ford has been, and remains, an important strategic supplier to Jaguar Land Rover under an agreement which was negotiated to support our business until the end of the decade.\" The GMB union said it was the news it most feared and it called for an urgent meeting with the economy secretary. Jeff Beck, regional organiser, added: \"Unless alternate contracts are found, this will have a devastating and far reaching impact on the communities in and around Bridgend as well as across south Wales as a whole.\" Economy Secretary Ken Skates called the decision \"very disappointing\" and said the Welsh Government remained absolutely committed to doing all it could to protect the plant.

The Warwick Commission said mayors with responsibility for \"economic areas\" spanning city boundaries - so-called \"metro mayors\" - were more likely to be effective. It said there was not a \"one-size fits all solution\" for council leadership. The commission was started by Warwick University last year to investigate the track records and experiences of elected mayors around the world. Its study centred on the question: \"What is the role of elected mayors in providing strategic leadership to cities?\" Voters in 10 cities - Birmingham, Coventry, Manchester, Leeds, Nottingham, Bradford, Sheffield, Newcastle, Bristol and Wakefield - will decide whether they want a directly-elected mayor on 3 May. Those cities where a majority vote yes will hold elections later this year. The report said: \"There is no point in electing a mayor whose remit does not cover the necessarily boundary-spanning regions that could foster economic growth - the so-called metro mayor.\" 'Scrutiny needed' Research director Prof Keith Grint said it could be a \"two-stage process\", with cities first deciding whether they wanted a mayor and then deciding what influence and power the role had. He said the power of the mayor was an important issue for those on both sides of the argument. The professor said giving mayors a direct mandate for the population and a four-year term should allow them to do things, but there had to be the right level of scrutiny to keep powers in check. He added there was no \"perfect political system\" but for some cities it may be the right time for \"thinking about a different system that may give you the impetus to do something different and do something about your local problems\". He said one \"intriguing aspect\" was that if some cities chose elected mayors, it may mean others would follow. For example, he said if Birmingham had an elected mayor but Coventry did not: \"Birmingham might begin changing significantly and move radically away from and faster than Coventry. \"If that is the case then Coventry will need to start thinking about doing something equivalent.\" Voter 'apathy' Warwick's research team interviewed 42 elected mayors and council staff in the UK, Canada, the US, Australia and New Zealand. Prof Grint said an important aspect to consider was whether England's current political system \"was good enough\" considering the low turnout in local elections. \"We seem to have a very demobilized electorate. There seems to a general apathy amongst many people,\" he said. He said researchers found evidence from interviewing elected mayors that \"you can make a difference and you can engage the public in quite different ways\". \"There is an argument that we should actually try something and this might be an experiment worth trying,\" he added.",

The Long March rocket's payload includes a landing module and a six-wheeled robotic rover called Yutu (or Jade Rabbit). The mission should land in the Moon's northern hemisphere in mid-December. Chinese state TV carried live pictures of the launch of the Chinese-developed Long March 3B rocket carrying the lunar probe. This will be the third robotic rover mission to land on the lunar surface, but the Chinese vehicle carries a more sophisticated payload, including ground-penetrating radar which will gather measurements of the lunar soil and crust. The 120kg (260lb) Jade Rabbit rover can climb slopes of up to 30 degrees and travel at 200m (660ft) per hour, according to its designer the Shanghai Aerospace Systems Engineering Research Institute. Its name - chosen in an online poll of 3.4 million voters - derives from an ancient Chinese myth about a rabbit living on the moon as the pet of the lunar goddess Chang'e. Last week, Prof Ouyang Ziyuan told the BBC's science editor David Shukman that the mission would test key technology and carry out science, adding: \"In terms of the talents, China needs its own intellectual team who can explore the whole lunar and solar system - that is also our main purpose.\" The lander's target is Sinus Iridum (Latin for Bay of Rainbows) a flat volcanic plain thought to be relatively clear of large rocks. It is part of a larger feature known as Mare Imbrium that forms the right eye of the \"Man in the Moon\". Other details of the mission are sketchy; the rover and lander are powered by solar panels but other sources suggest they also carry radioisotope heating units (RHUs) containing plutonium-238 to keep them warm during the cold lunar night. The US Apollo astronauts Eugene Cernan and \"Buzz\" Aldrin have also remarked in a recent article that the landing module is substantially bigger than it needs to be to carry the rover, suggesting that it could be precursor technology to a human landing. If successful, the mission, aimed at exploring the Moon's surface and looking for natural resources such as rare metals, will be a milestone in China's long-term space exploration programme, which includes establishing a permanent space station in Earth orbit. Assertive China Chang'e 3 is \"the most complicated and difficult task yet in China's exploration of space\" and incorporates lots of new technology, Xinhua reported Wu Zhijian, a spokesman with the State Administration of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defence, as saying. But one unnamed US scientist recently told the magazine Aerospace America: \"Except for a ground-penetrating radar on the rover, none of many science instruments on the lander/rover are expected to discover much new on the Moon.\" The launch comes at a time when the Asian superpower is asserting itself in other areas, such as control of airspace over the East China Sea. China considers its space programme a symbol of its rising global stature and technological advancement, as well as of the Communist Party's success in reversing the fortunes of the once impoverished nation. Future lunar launches planned by China include a mission to bring back samples of lunar soil to Earth. But officials have also stated an ambitious goal of sending humans to the Moon, in what could be the first manned lunar missions since the US Apollo programme in the 1960s and 1970s. Prof Ouyang, from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, also highlighted the potential for exploiting the Moon's environment and natural resources. With only a very thin atmosphere, solar panels would operate far more efficiently, he believes, and a \"belt\" of them could \"support the whole world\". He also pointed out the potential riches in terms of minerals and metals, which could eventually be mined. \"The Moon is full of resources - mainly rare earth elements, titanium, and uranium, which the Earth is really short of, and these resources can be used without limitation.\" Paul.Rincon-INTERNET@bbc.co.uk and follow me on Twitter",

            "input": "Norwegian researchers looked at health anxiety levels in 7,000 people who were followed for at least a decade. The BMJ Open paper suggests that, while general anxiety is already recognised as a risk, health anxiety might also be an issue. Heart experts said anyone who felt they were experiencing 'health anxiety' should speak to their doctor. Health anxiety describes when people have a \"persistent preoccupation\" with having or acquiring a serious illness, and seeking prompt medical advice, without any symptoms of an actual disease. Participants in this study were taking part in the Norwegian Hordaland Health Study (HUSK). Dilemma All were born between 1953 and 1957. They completed questionnaires about health, lifestyle, and education and had blood tests, and their weight, height, and blood pressure measured regularly between 1997 and 1999. They used a recognised scale called the Whiteley Index to assess anxiety levels. The researchers also used national data to track hospital treatment and deaths in the group up to 2009. And of the 7,000, 234 (3.3%) had a heart attack or bout of acute angina during the monitoring period. Even after known risk factors were taken into account, the proportion of those succumbing to heart disease (just over 6%) was more than twice as high among the 710 considered to have health anxiety. And the higher their anxiety score, the greater the risk of developing heart disease. 'Natural to worry' Writing in BMJ Open, the researchers, led by Dr Line Iden Berge, said: \"[Our research] further indicates that characteristic behaviour among persons with health anxiety, such as monitoring and frequent check-ups of symptoms, does not reduce the risk of [coronary heart disease] events. \"These findings illustrate the dilemma for clinicians between reassuring the patient that current physical symptoms of anxiety do not represent heart disease, contrasted against the emerging knowledge on how anxiety, over time, may be causally associated with increased risk of [coronary artery disease].\" Emily Reeve, a senior cardiac nurse at the British Heart Foundation, said: \"It's natural for people to worry if they feel they might be unwell. \"But anxiety and stress can trigger unhealthy habits, such as smoking or eating badly, which put you at greater risk of heart disease. \"While we don't know if the 'worried well' are directly putting themselves at risk of a heart attack, it's clear that reducing unnecessary anxiety can have health benefits. \"If you are experiencing health anxiety, speak to your doctor.\"",

            "input": "It comes after Justice Minister Sergio Moro resigned on Friday, accusing the president of wanting to install a new federal police chief who would provide him with intelligence reports. Mr Bolsonaro denies the allegation. The row has thrown his administration into turmoil as it struggles to address the coronavirus crisis. Brazil has nearly 55,000 confirmed cases of the virus and more than 3,700 have died, according to Johns Hopkins University in the US. Earlier this month, the president sacked his Health Minister Luiz Henrique Mandetta for his response to the coronavirus pandemic. The minister had advocated social distancing, which Mr Bolsonaro has scorned. How did the row develop? Brazil's public prosecutor Augusto Aras has now asked the Supreme Court to allow an investigation into Mr Moro's allegations against the president. On Friday Mr Bolsonaro fired federal police chief Mauricio Valeixo - an ally of Mr Moro - without publishing a reason for the decision. He was replaced by Alexandre Ramagem, chief of the Brazilian Intelligence Agency. Earlier, on Thursday, Mr Moro had threatened to resign if Mr Valeixo was removed but then said he would stay if he could choose his replacement. However he resigned on Friday, describing Mr Valeixo's sacking \"without a genuine reason\" as \"political interference that harms my credibility and that of the government\". What's the allegation against Bolsonaro? Mr Moro alleged that the president was meddling in federal police efforts to fight corruption. He said Mr Bolsonaro had told him he was replacing Mr Valeixo to install someone with whom he had \"personal contact, whom he could call, ask for information, intelligence reports\". \"Providing this type of information is not the job of the federal police,\" he said. Mr Moro also alleged Mr Bolsonaro had said one reason for ousting Mr Valeixo was that he was \"worried\" about some ongoing investigations. Firing Mr Valeixo was also \"a signal that the president wanted me out\", he added. Mr Moro is a popular figure in Brazil. He is a former judge who oversaw the country's biggest anti-corruption probe, which uncovered billions of dollars of bribes and led to the convictions of dozens of high-profile business leaders and politicians. The sound of pot-banging protests rang out in cities across Brazil after his resignation was announced. How has Bolsonaro responded? In a televised address, the far-right president called the claims against him \"baseless\" and said he could choose who he wanted as federal police chief. \"The appointment is mine, the prerogative is mine and the day I have to submit to any of my subordinates I cease to be president of the republic,\" Mr Bolsonaro said flanked by most of his cabinet in the presidential palace in Brasília. He also accused Mr Moro of demanding a nomination to the supreme court in return for agreeing to Mr Valeixo's replacement. Mr Moro has denied this, saying it was \"never used as currency in exchange for me being named to\" the top court. Blow to the Bolsonaro government The departure of Jair Bolsonaro's most popular minister is a blow to his government - Sergio Moro was a star minister. He was seen by his supporters as an anti-corruption crusader. It is a departure that Jair Bolsonaro has clearly taken personally too, judging by his 45-minute television address on Friday afternoon. He recounted being snubbed by Mr Moro at the airport a few years ago, and accused him of not caring enough after he was stabbed during the campaign in 2018. There is no doubt Mr Bolsonaro looks weaker now than ever - the events of Friday mark one of the most dramatic days in Brazilian politics in recent years. Many are wondering who will be next - will the likes of Paulo Guedes, his economy minister and another star member of the cabinet, remain loyal or jump to save his reputation? All this drama is distracting from a more urgent crisis - the number of coronavirus cases and deaths are rising ever faster each and every day. Who is Moro? Seen as an anti-corruption crusader, Mr Moro was a star pick when Mr Bolsonaro asked him to join the government. Mr Moro earlier oversaw a huge corruption probe known as Operation Car Wash, which exposed billions of dollars in bribes and ended in the jailing of many powerful businessmen and politicians, including leftist former President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. He once said he \"would never enter politics\", but later agreed to serve in Mr Bolsonaro's cabinet in order to fight corruption and organised crime. He was promised full autonomy for his department, which united the justice and public security portfolios in a so-called \"super ministry\".",

Det Insp Scott Beard said the body was found \"intact\". A 26-year-old man has appeared in court in New Zealand charged with Miss Millane's murder. Det Insp Beard said he believed the long-handled shovel could be \"anywhere between the Scenic Drive and central Auckland areas.\" \"Someone may have come across it, picked it up and taken it home. \"We need to speak to that person or anyone who has seen it,\" he said. David Millane, Grace's father, has flown to New Zealand and visited the place where the body was found. He took part in a traditional Maori blessing ceremony alongside Grace's uncle and members of the New Zealand police force. Backpackers have joined local people to hold vigils across the country. One of them was Joshua Lewis, a friend of Grace's brother Declan, who planned to meet up with her during her travels. To mark what would have been Grace's birthday on Sunday, he visited Lake Wakatipo, near Queenstown on New Zealand's South Island, to light 22 candles on a cake. He said: \"I wish I was there for there, and for her family right now.

            "input": "By Paul RubensTechnology reporter It's a solution that is not as impractical as it may seem, and it's one that an increasing number of people with few or any programming skills are turning to. For people brought up with video games, smartphones, iPads and PlayStations, the idea of pulling together an application if nothing better is available is completely natural, according to Gartner analyst Ian Finley. \"It's a generational thing,\" he says. \"Many of the baby boomers are now retiring, and they are being replaced by younger people who have used computers in school, who have played with web and blogging tools, and who simply don't fear technology.\" The idea of employees bypassing the IT department and writing the software they need is not altogether new. In 2009 Gartner predicted that, by 2014, 25% of new business applications would be written by staff outside the IT department - or \"citizen developers\" as it called them. While that prediction may not have come true, Mr Finley believes that citizen developers are definitely on the rise. \"End-user application development has been slower to take off than we thought, but we are only two or three years behind where we predicted we would be,\" he says. What drives today's citizen developers is the knowledge that they could be more productive if they had the right tools, according to Mr Finley. \"They don't want to wait for IT departments to get around to writing or procuring software for them, so they decide to do it themselves,\" he says. Customised apps Thanks to cloud-based application development platforms provided by familiar companies such as Salesforce.com, as well as less familiar ones like TrackVia and Mendix, citizen developers can get to work without the need for expensive development tools. So what kind of applications can citizen developers create? Peter Khanna, chief executive of TrackVia, says that the majority are used by between five and 25 employees, and are built to meet niche needs that many IT departments are unaware of. \"Most companies make an investment in the business software they think their staff need, and then individual departments are left to fend for themselves,\" he says. He adds that TrackVia's customers typically build applications to track people, assets or projects instead of using spreadsheets, or build customised applications for marketing, HR or to meet the unique needs of a particular business or industry when commercial alternatives simply do not exist. As an example, John McGarvey, resource manager at California-based DirecTV, a direct broadcast satellite service provider and broadcaster, used TrackVia's cloud-based development platform to build an application that keeps track of the company's many contractors. He says that although the company had tried off-the-shelf software products, none of them were quite suitable. \"These applications tend to be designed to work in a certain way, so either you have to change your internal processes to match the way the application works, or you have to reconfigure the software to match your processes.\" Cost efficient Faced with a possible two-year wait before the company's IT department could develop something for him in-house, Mr McGarvey decided that the obvious solution was to build an application himself. Before he started, DirecTV's IT department examined TrackVia's cloud platform from a risk and governance perspective, and looked at the security of any data that would be stored in the cloud. \"Basically they gave it a typical vendor assessment,\" Mr McGarvey says. After he was given the go-ahead to use TrackVia, he uploaded data from his spreadsheets to TrackVia's cloud platform and built his application in a matter of hours using a browser-based drag and drop interface. \"I don't have any particular coding skills but to build my applications I didn't need any,\" he says. He then spent about an hour a week fine-tuning the user interface of his application for the next couple of months before it went into service. It is now used by about 20 co-workers in his department. Mr McGarvey concludes that his group is now more productive thanks to his efforts as a citizen developer, and his application also costs far less than the software that he was using previously. 'Embrace' citizen developers For organisations to avoid citizen developers introducing unacceptable security risks or breaching regulatory requirements, Mr Finley believes it is essential that IT departments set up citizen developer programs. These need to offer approved development tools for would-be citizen developers, and they need to provide a way for IT department staff to monitor what citizen developers and their applications are doing, and what data they are accessing and storing. Although setting up a program like this involves some extra work for the IT department, in the longer term it relieves them of the burden of acquiring or developing and supporting software that these citizen developers would otherwise need. \"Companies that don't have a program that reaches out and provides rules for citizen developers, or that try to stop them, will just end up with rogue developers who are outside their control, introducing risk,\" Mr Finley warns. \"Companies need to avoid fighting citizen developers and start embracing them.\"",

The patent, filed in 1998, is said to improve the power efficiency of microchips. The case relates to use of the technology in the iPhone 5s, 6 and 6 Plus - but an additional lawsuit making the same claim against Apple's newest models, the 6S and 6S Plus, has also been filed. The University of Wisconsin sued Intel over the same patent in 2008. The case was settled out of court for an undisclosed sum. In court papers, the university claimed Apple ignored its offers to license the patent, which would mean paying a fee for its continued use. Therefore the university said Apple was wilfully infringing the patent, something which, if the court agrees, could carry a heavier fine. The precise amount Apple may have to pay will be decided at a later stage in the court proceedings. Despite recent well-publicised truces between some big tech firms, fierce patent battles are still being fought in courts globally.

            "input": "By Jack LamportBBC News Japan is recovering from a massive tsunami, Ivory Coast is reeling from a bloody power struggle, and Libya is facing a huge refugee crisis. Thousands of people in these countries have lost their homes or been without safe or reliable access to food, water and medical supplies. Many recent innovations have shown the potential to help them - but are yet to overcome cost hurdles. Take Concrete Canvas Shelters, for example. British engineers Peter Brewin and Will Crawford came up with a fabric shelter that, when sprayed with water, turns to concrete within 24 hours. The original design won a number of awards - including the Saatchi & Saatchi Award for World Changing Ideas. According to the inventors, the shelters provide safer living space for refugees, as unlike tents they are lockable, fireproof, cool in the sun and will last for decades. But the catch is that at the moment they cost at least £10,000 ($16,000) each. Brewin concedes this is expensive for a non-governmental organisation on the front-line of a crisis. But he describes the situation as \"chicken and egg\". \"If we were manufacturing volumes… we'd be able to cut a substantial amount of that cost out,\" he says. \"But to get those orders in, we'd need to already be much cheaper.\" But there are plenty of inventions that have come out of left field and gone on to save lives. Here are four that have done so. Inflatable hospital This is a hospital in the form of a series of tents that rest on an inflatable frame. The frame is less fiddly than a normal tent and is made from a material similar to that used for inflatable dinghy lifeboats. The tent can be erected in less than 48 hours and comes complete with operating theatres, emergency rooms and intensive care units. International medical and humanitarian aid organisation Medecins Sans Frontieres has pioneered the use of inflatable hospitals since 2005 - particularly in the aftermath of the earthquake in Pakistan that year, and Haiti's in 2010. In both cases, local hospitals were severely damaged. The hospital erected in Haiti is only being dismantled now, to make way for a new conventional hospital. In Japan, a major earthquake left thousands of people without access to clean water. If bottled water is hard to deliver, portable water purifiers are vital. One example is LifeStraw. Its compact, lightweight filters kill bacteria and parasites in a purification cartridge containing millions of tiny cleansing pores. A small version can be carried around by an individual and used, quite literally, as a drinking straw. A larger version can be fixed to a water source to provide dispensable clean water for a family. Unlike water purification tablets, LifeStraw, which is produced by Vestergaard Frandsen, can purify up to 18,000 litres of water - enough to provide for a typical family of five for three years. It has been deployed long term in parts of sub-Saharan Africa. Mosquito nets are essential to prevent the spread of malaria in many parts of the world. This product was one of the first to have been successfully impregnated with long-lasting anti-mosquito chemicals and to have been distributed widely. It has had a huge impact. In the past people needed to wash their nets in mosquito repellents regularly - which is not easy in places of poverty or crisis. The net removes that need for years. PermaNet, which is also made by Vestergaard Frandsen, was used after the earthquakes in Pakistan and Haiti - where people were forced to sleep in shelters and malaria remained a serious threat. This solar powered refrigeration unit converts the sun's rays into coolness. It can be used in hot countries to store life-saving vaccines which must remain chilled until they are administered. The product plugs the gap in what health programmes call the \"cool chain\". This is the network of cooling equipment needed to transport vaccines from manufacturer to patient. Often the neediest patients are in places where there is no electrical grid, or where electrical supplies are unstable. Developers Greenpeace, Unicef and others say it is environmentally sound, battery free, reliable and affordable. Overall, solar power technology has \"come on in leaps and bounds\", according to Rishi Ramrakha, disaster management logistics officer at the British Red Cross. It can now be used to power lamps and battery packs, and to charge mobile phones and radios.",

            "input": "By Steven McIntoshEntertainment reporter He, Rory Reid and Chris Harris now present the show as a trio after the departure of Chris Evans last year. An average of 1.9 million watched the final episode of the current season - a significant drop from the 2.8 million the series opened with. But many fans posted positive messages on social media about the show. Let's have a quick look back at how the latest season has performed in the ratings and how critics and viewers reacted to it. Viewing figures In the age of catch-up services such as iPlayer, the whole issue of viewing figures gets rather complicated. So, to keep things simple, we'll just stick to how many people watched each episode of this series live, on the night it was first broadcast. An average of 2.8 million tuned in to the launch - a strong opening for the series, but a peak it didn't manage to match throughout the rest of its run. Ratings were reasonably stable for the following four episodes, but they dropped significantly for the final two. This could be down to the gap in the middle of the series - there was no episode on 9 April because of Golf: The Masters 2017. It seems many viewers didn't return to Top Gear after that. But what everybody really wants to know about the viewing figures, of course, is how they compare with previous series. The last season, fronted by Chris Evans, opened with a bumper 4.4 million viewers, considerably more than this year's series launch. However, it's worth noting the viewing figures for the Evans-fronted season had more than halved by the end, with 1.9 million tuning in to the finale. No episode in the era fronted by Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May had fewer than 2 million viewers. Indeed, an impressive 5.3 million watched the trio's farewell in 2015 - a figure that none of the presenting line-ups have come close to since. But programme bosses will likely be happy that five of this season's seven episodes attracted more than 2 million viewers, giving this series a strong and relatively stable audience in comparison to last year. Plus - once iPlayer figures are taken into account, the figures for the latest series will go up considerably. The first episode alone added nearly a million extra viewers to the live TV audience. Figures for the later episodes in the series will follow soon. Critical reviews Critics have responded positively to the revamped Top Gear - although some also had a few suggestions about how it could improve going forward. Writing in The Daily Telegraph, Ed Power said: \"Top Gear finished its latest season in better fettle than anyone could have predicted in the wake of last year's disastrous Chris Evans-fronted reboot. \"Week by week the crew has visibly gained in confidence and the concluding instalment was arguably the most enjoyable yet.\" The Radio Times's Frances Taylor wrote: \"It's undeniable that the presenters' dynamic has improved... but there's something still jarring a little. \"The biggest problems have been ironed out this series, and what we've been left with is a largely enjoyable and watchable hour of Sunday night TV. \"It won't take much to give it a tweak here and a buff there and with a little help, Top Gear could well be at the top of its game come series 25.\" Tom Eames from Digital Spy agreed the show still needs some work, but said it's broadly going in the right direction. \"Rory Reid needs far more screen time, and they need to invest in more films that include all three of the main hosts,\" he suggested. \"Plus - fewer obviously-scripted segments, more ad-libbed journeys, more interesting celebrities (or no celebrity segment at all) and you've got yourself a brilliant car show. It's so very nearly there, and we'll definitely be up for more in 2018.\" Fans' reaction Viewers were mostly positive about the latest series, although many said there was still room for further improvement. Matthew tweeted: \"If someone said to me 5 years ago that Matt LeBlanc would save Top Gear, I would have laughed... but he has!\" \"Brilliant series, well done guys! Restored as great entertainment and fun car show. A bit like the old days, only better,\" added Brook. Katherine said: \"It's a big improvement on the last series. Still wooden though.\" But Andy wrote: \"I'd hardly say Top Gear has been saved. There has been a lot of viewers moved to The Grand Tour. It's not Top Gear without Clarkson, Hammond or May.\" So, has Matt LeBlanc really \"saved\" Top Gear? Well, partly. He's certainly a more popular front man than Chris Evans was on the last series. But it would be unfair to give him all the credit for the warmer critical and viewer reaction this year. Reid has been a crucial ingredient, with many fans agreeing he should be given more time on screen. Harris is also a key factor, with Eames commenting that he \"has clearly been eyed as the show's lead when it comes to credibility\". There's also the total studio revamp the show has had - giving it a glossier, more colourful and polished feel. Perhaps most importantly, however, the reason the show has had a much stronger series this year is it has not been put under so much scrutiny as before. Tabloid interest in the Chris Evans series was high, and there were many negative headlines about the show's various troubles and viewing figures. But away from the glare of the media spotlight, it appears to be finally bedding in. It has found its feet - and its audience. The show now has a core viewer base and appears to have finally won over critics and fans. We'll wait and see whether its upward streak can continue when the 25th series begins next spring.

            "input": "The accusation came from Ahmad Eshchi, the former governor of General Dostum's home province of Jowzjan in the north. He said the vice-president and 10 other men assaulted him while he was forcibly kept at the former warlord's residence for five days late last month. Gen Dostum denied the accusation, describing it as a \"provocation\". He said Mr Eshchi was detained not by him, but by the country's intelligence service. \"He (Eshchi) was detained by Afghan security forces for allegations of funding the opposition and having a hand in repeated security issues,\" a spokesperson for Gen Dostum said in a statement. \"For some time there has been a destructive movement by some unknown circles against the First Vice President,\" it added. Gen Dostum is an ethnic Uzbek and a former warlord blamed for some of the worst atrocities in Afghanistan's long-running civil war. He joined the country's national unity government in 2014. Mr Eshchi described the alleged abuse, which he said began with his kidnap on 24 November, in graphic detail, although his account cannot be independently verified. He said that the abduction took place after a public game of buzkashi, a sport where players on horses attempt to put the carcass of a goat in a goal, between his and General Dostum's team. \"(Gen) Dostum pushed me on the ground, pressed his leg on my throat and abused me. Then he [took] me to his house. When I arrived [at] his house, he shouted [at] his guards to bring me out of the car,\" he told BBC Afghan. \"He ordered his eight guards to undress me. They even [pulled] off my trousers.\" He said he was eventually transferred to the Afghan security service office and then released. The office of Afghan President Ashraf Ghani promised a thorough investigation into the accusations. When the former warlord joined Mr Ghani's ticket in 2014, it was seen as a controversial move but one that could signal some kind of reconciliation with his ability to secure the confidence of the Uzbek minority. \"For the Afghan government nobody is above the law. Rule of law and accountability begins in the government itself and we are committed to it,\" said Afghan presidential spokesman Haroon Chakhansori. Both the European Union and the United States called for an investigation into the reported mistreatment of the former governor, who only re-emerged on Saturday after disappearing for two weeks. \"The unlawful detention and reported mistreatment... raises serious concerns,\" the US Embassy said in a statement. \"We would welcome the Afghan government's move to swiftly investigate these allegations.\"",

            "input": "By Caroline LowbridgeBBC News Diane Ward claims many colleagues and managers were \"turning a blind eye\" to problems at Nottingham Prison. The 55-year-old was dismissed for medical inefficiency in 2016. Since then, the Chief Inspector of Prisons has ordered the government to improve the jail. Ms Ward told an employment tribunal in London: \"In the two years since I've left it has gone into special measures, so everything I've been reporting has been played out in the media.\" She said in her witness statement that the \"real reason\" for her dismissal was \"a combination of all of the complaints that I made\". \"I think that I gained a reputation as somebody who would complain about things in the prison that were fundamentally wrong: we weren't addressing behaviour, we weren't protecting the people who were in the prison,\" the statement said. \"I think they wanted to get rid of me to silence me.\" How bad is Nottingham Prison? Ms Ward joined the prison service in 1985 and moved to Nottingham Prison in 1997. She said a lot of experienced staff left the jail \"very quickly\" in 2012 when the government introduced something called the Voluntary Early Departure Scheme, known as VEDS. She said this had a \"huge impact\" on the way the wings were run and discipline suffered. \"Many experienced officers who knew how to deal with prisoners left on VEDS,\" she said. \"We lacked officers with sufficient experience of dealing with prisoners and we also didn't have enough experienced officers remaining to do our jobs properly. \"There were some officers who didn't do their share and that put pressure on people like me who wanted to maintain a proper atmosphere in the prison.\" Ms Ward said the drug mamba started contributing to problems at the prison from 2014 onwards. It got in by being thrown over the wall, passed in during visits or through corrupt prison officers, she claimed. \"I soon began to encounter prisoners who were on this drug and my experience of it was that it was very dangerous,\" she said. \"On one occasion I saw a prisoner who was on mamba clutching his chest and I thought he was having a heart attack. \"More and more prisoners were taking the drug and had bad reactions, were passing out, getting aggressive without any apparent reason. I told Governor Langford but nothing was done.\" She said one prisoner threatened her on 31 December 2014 when she tried to get him back behind his door. \"Prisoner B was standing nose to nose with me and shouting, 'you're the only one who gives me any trouble',\" she said. \"Other officers were nearby and did nothing. He then went off to the gym.\" She claimed officers stopped challenging inmates when the prison introduced a policy that meant any touching had to be documented on a \"use of force\" form. \"The prisoners were fully aware of who had the upper hand and would taunt the officers and be openly disobedient, for example when being told to return to their cells,\" she said. \"This is a problem because it changes the balance of power in the prison if the prisoners know that the prison officers will avoid confrontations.\" She initially reported problems verbally but said this used to \"fall on deaf ears\", so she started putting them in writing, submitting about 100 \"security information reports\" in three years. One report in August 2014 involved a fellow prison officer who had been \"threatening and aggressive\" towards her. She was concerned he was being \"groomed\" by inmates to allow them to do what they wanted, such as being let out of their cells to deal drugs or exchange contraband. In October 2015, she was suspended from all duties for allegedly assaulting a prisoner the previous month, which she believed was \"entirely unjustified\". 'Troubled life' She had a disciplinary hearing on 24 February 2016 and all of the charges against her were dismissed. However, she was concerned about going back to work and was signed off sick with stress in March 2016. She returned to work six months later but was eventually dismissed for medical inefficiently in November 2016. \"I am devastated that after dedicating my career to helping people who have often had a troubled life themselves, I am ending it in the employment tribunal because I have refused to be silent about wrongdoing,\" she said.

            "input": "by Fiona Murray & Gerald LennonBBC News NI Throw in guests from various parts of the United Kingdom and you've got one heck of a party to plan. But throw in a pandemic, and the planning turns into a logistical nightmare. Mark Wilson, 31 and his bride-to-be Amy Coats, 29, found themselves facing ever changing Stormont Executive guidance about their wedding. They initially planned a big, church wedding in Newtownards, County Down, in July but ended up changing their plans twice. They also had to navigate three different sets of coronavirus guidelines as they were having guests from Northern Ireland, England and Scotland. So what did they do? Plan A Get married on 18 July with 140 guests in a church in Newtownards, followed by a hotel reception. But coronavirus put paid to any notion that so many people could gather in one place. So, they had a small ceremony in a friend's garden, complete with marquee and buffet tea, and postponed their lavish reception until November. Or so they thought. Mark said: \"My friend offered us the use of his garden and we thought it would be better to move ahead with that, given that July would probably be a nice month.\" The night before the wedding, bride-to-be Amy was busy making sandwiches instead of relaxing with her bridesmaids, most of them were still across the Irish Sea. Mark said: \"Only one of Amy's five bridesmaids was able to be there. Her sister managed to get over from the Isle of Skye the day before the wedding. \"It was too close to the date to be able to say for certain it was going to go ahead because even with the outdoor thing, we didn't know how many we were going to be allowed.\" Mark's sister, who lives in Northern Ireland, stepped in as Amy's second bridesmaid. 'Lack of guidance' Mark said it was very stressful - citing a \"lack of clear guidance\" from the government. \"There was the looming notion that at any moment the government would decide 'you can't do this',\" he said. \"It was only on the Thursday that the government confirmed that you were able to have weddings with 30 people.\" Despite a \"lovely, intimate ceremony\" in the garden, the pair were keen to share their joy with family and friends at an official reception. So they drastically reduced their guest list for a hotel reception on 21 November, with strict rules on social distancing and table numbers. As fate would have it, the guidelines were changed less than 48 hours before their big day, meaning their hotel, which had closed on 19 October due to restrictions, had to remain shut. \"At that stage England was in a full scale lockdown,\" he said. \"Amy wouldn't have been able to have her family there, even her parents. And people here don't feel safe [to travel]. \"It was disappointing because, at this stage, we had our wedding and we had a good day. This was going to be the cherry on top.\" In what they hope will be third time lucky, the couple have rescheduled the reception to 10 July 2021 - nearly a year after their original date. \"The two of us have generally agreed that once you get past the year mark, the spectacle of trying to pretend it's a wedding reception just disappears,\" said Mark. 'We couldn't imagine going ahead with any guests missing' Aishling Mullan from Cookstown, County Tyrone, had planned to marry Mairtin Hearty from Belleeks, County Armagh, on 11 December this year. The plan for 200 guests and a hotel reception in Carlingford, County Louth. In the Republic of Ireland, the current guidance means there is a limit of 25 guests for the ceremony and reception. So the couple, who are both 29, postponed their wedding until March 2021. \"We thought this would give us some time to allow guest numbers to increase,\" said Aishling. \"We were still planning for March - until September when the Irish government released their Plan for Living with Covid-19. It was pretty clear restrictions could still be in place by March. \"There were a few weeks around this time that wedding guidelines were changing weekly, brides were finding out with a few days' notice they needed to cut guests from 50 to 25. \"We didn't want to find ourselves in this situation.\" So the couple decided to postpone again, this time until 30 December 2021. \"A few people had said to just go ahead with close family, but for us, our parents, siblings and nieces and nephews account for almost 40 guests. We just couldn't imagine going ahead with any of them missing. \"We also wouldn't have taken the risk even with the reduced number of guests. \"There was always a chance some one of us, parents or guests caught the virus or were a close contact in the days leading up and missed the wedding, or we went ahead and guests fell ill afterwards. \"For us, we'd rather hold off and have as close to the original day we had planned with as many of our friends and family safely there.\" Third time lucky? Antoinette Smith, 32, and Gary O'McGlinchey, 41, are also in limbo. The Derry couple got engaged on Valentine's day 2018 and were due to get married in March. But then the restrictions were announced and they postponed their dream wedding to August. As that date grew closer, they moved it again until next March. They've planned a big day with 100 guests and live music - but are prepared to postpone for a third time if they cannot have the day they want. Antoinette said: \"We've been doing loads of planning. When Covid hit, there's nothing we could really do. It's just a waiting game. \"We have a lot of friends and family... that wanted to come. For me, it's every girl's dream, it's their special day, and the way I see it, we're only going to do this one time. \"[If] we can't have a reception, [including] music, it's not the day I'm wanting. It doesn't leave us with many options.\" The couple are prepared to wait - but still have a anxiety about the lockdown. \"Right now we're panicking and worrying, but we're excited to see if things get to where we want, if not then the stress might kick in when we have to go through all this again,\" she said. \"We don't want to look back and think 'should we have waited' we're still going to be together no matter what. We will get married one day\".",

            "input": "I will remember President Daniel arap Moi for many things. Growing up in the 1980s, every bulletin on the national broadcaster, the Kenya Broadcasting Corporation, would start with news of the president. \"Mtukufu Rais Daniel arap Moi, leo hii...\" the newsreader said in Swahili, meaning: \"Today, His Excellency the President Daniel arap Moi...\". We would then be told about what the president had been up to. We knew when President Moi went to church. We knew when President Moi went to a goat auction. And we knew when President Moi hired and fired his ministers during roadside rallies, often on the notorious lunchtime bulletin. Free school milk I will remember the former president for nyayo milk. Nyayo, meaning footprint, was his philosophy of peace, love and unity. Many of his projects used the prefix \"nyayo\". Nyayo milk was a feeding programme he initiated for all state-funded primary schools. We used to get milk twice a week; sometimes one packet, sometimes two. We were told this was about the president making sure that hunger did not stop us from going to school. \"The president loves you,\" our teachers would tell us. And I remember teachers using milk as bait to keep us in school all day. On some days the milk vans would arrive by noon, but would not be handed out until evening assembly. We lived for the free milk. Trekking to see the president I will remember how lessons would be interrupted if President Moi came to visit the area. Every school would cancel classes and send students to line up along the highway and sing for the president as he drove by. Kenya's longest-serving president 1924born in farming community 1967becomes vice-president 1978becomes president 1982coup attempt foiled 2002steps down as president 2020dies in Nairobi In 1997, when I was in high school in western Kenya, I remember walking 8km (five miles) to the nearest main road where the president was slated to stop on his way to Migori. The school choir had rehearsed several patriotic songs, and only the most influential and senior students were allowed to sing. Word was that the president, a man famously generous with handouts, always gave money to school choirs that sang for him. Senior students were not going to let Form One and Form Two pupils to enjoy that manna. Mr Moi was slated to pass by our spot at 14:00 and address the people. We were there by noon. However, he did not arrive until nearly 19:00, probably because he made too many stops as he was on the campaign trail. 'We saw him with our own eyes' And because of his tardiness, he did not even stop to address us. The president's convoy slowed down just enough for us to catch a glimpse of him through the sunroof of his vehicle. We did see him smile and wave his famous rungu - the club and symbol of power that he always carried with him. More on the death of Daniel arap Moi: And that was how days of rehearsals, two hours of walking and another five hours of waiting for the president on an empty stomach was rewarded. A 10-second glimpse of the great man. As jaded and upset as we were, many of us felt honoured to have seen the president with our very own eyes. 'He jailed my father' But, perhaps most personally, I will remember how President Moi's regime robbed me of paternal love. My father, Cpl Michael Collins Owino, was in the air force at the time of the aborted coup in 1982, the year I was born. When the army foiled the coup and a crackdown began in the military, my father was among the servicemen arrested. He was tried and handed an 18-year sentence. But in 1988, he was pardoned after six years in prison and that is when I remember seeing my father for the first time. To this day, I do not know whether my father was involved in the attempt to unseat Mr Moi. But the president's crackdown affected both real and imaginary enemies, with lots of collateral damage. My father died in 2001 never having discussed what had happened to him. In his life, he remained very distant, and often hostile. My mum did not speak of it either. After his death, I went digging to try and understand what had happened. The only reference I ever found was in a newspaper article from August 1982, in a series on the courts martial that followed the coup attempt. But all the newspaper had was an image of \"Cpl Michael Collins Owino of the Kenya Airforce\". Under his image, they summarised his defence in four words: \"I was following orders\". Rest in peace, Mzee Daniel Toroitich arap Moi. Rest in peace, Michael Collins Owino.",

            "input": "The economy created 313,000 jobs in February, official figures show, far in excess of analysts' expectations. However, the unemployment rate remained at 4.1%, while the annual earnings growth rate slowed to 2.6% last month. January's annual wage growth rate - which had triggered fears over inflationary pressures - was also revised down from 2.9% to 2.8%. The strong wage growth figure for January prompted sharp volatility on the stock market, as investors worried the US Federal Reserve would quicken the pace at which it increased interest rates. 'Firing on all cylinders' Despite a lower-than-expected wage increase in February, many economists said longer term trends still point to higher wages. The US economy is in its ninth year of economic expansion, with an upswing in global growth and tax cuts passed last year helping to boost growth. Friday's report from the US Labor Department showed the biggest increase in jobs since July 2016, sending major stock indexes higher. The three major US stock indexes climbed almost 2% by the close of trading and the Nasdaq closed at a record high. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 440 points, or 1.77%, to end at 25,335, the S&P 500 gained 47 points, or 1.74%, to 2,786 and the Nasdaq ended up 132 points, or 1.79%, to 7,560. \"We have an economy that is firing on all cylinders and the job market is a reflection of that,\" said Gus Faucher, chief economist at PNC Bank. February's gains included an increase of 61,000 construction jobs - the biggest rise since 2007. The manufacturing sector also added 31,000 jobs, while retail employment rebounded from declines last year. The number of people working or looking for work also jumped by more than 800,000 last month. That was the biggest monthly rise in the labour force in more than two decades and boosted the labour force participation rate to 63%. Despite the rise, the unemployment rate held steady at 4.1%, where it has hovered since October. Those figures provided fodder for analysts who say wage growth could be moderated by a large number of potential workers sitting on the sidelines. \"The huge gain in payrolls belies the notion that the [labour] market has truly reached full employment,\" said Sophia Koropeckyj of Moody's Analytics. Increasing participation by men of prime working age - between 25 and 54 years - has helped drive the labour force participation rate higher in recent months, reflecting a resurgence in sectors such as manufacturing. But Ms Koropeckyj said she does not expect the labour force to continue growing at last month's pace, pointing to challenges such as skill gaps and opioid addiction. Americans are also moving less, fuelling a geographic mismatch between jobs and job seekers and hardening regional disparities. \"There's only so much of a boost you can get because a lot of people are structurally unemployed,\" she said. \"Certainly there is slack, but how much of it will be practically absorbed is questionable.\" Rate rise ahead? Ms Koropeckyj said a tighter labour market makes slow acceleration in wage growth \"inevitable\" this year. The average hourly wage for private sector workers was $26.75 last month, up 68 cents from February 2017 and 4 cents from January. Markets are expecting the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates at least three times in 2018. But with the inflation rate lagging its target 2% rate, it has been waiting for signs - like strong wage growth - of pricing pressure. Analysts said strong hiring in February all but guarantees the Fed will raise rates at its meeting later this month, even if the figures were boosted by mild weather. But the relatively weak wage growth did little to resolve debates about whether policymakers will eventually move faster.",

Its chief executive David Thomson said: \"There is no evidence that restricting food and drink promotions will reduce our waist lines. What it will do is increase the cost of your weekly shop and add confusion for shoppers. \"Small Scottish businesses who sell more of their products in Scotland will be disproportionately affected by restrictions, such as banning end-of-floor displays and free samples.\" He added: \"We are already working in partnership with Scottish government and the food and drink industry to make Scottish products healthier.

Your rights If your travel company cancels a package holiday for any reason, it has to give you a full refund by law within 14 days. Similarly, if you booked a flight (which was departing or arriving in an EU country or the UK or on an EU or UK airline) through a holiday company and the flight was cancelled, you must be reimbursed. But many people have been left waiting months for a pay-out during the pandemic as travel firms face a cashflow crisis. Since the start of the Covid crisis, the CMA has written to more 100 package holiday firms to remind them of their obligations to comply with consumer protection law. Last week it began an investigation of Teletext Holidays following complaints it has failed to refund people for trips that have been cancelled by the Covid-19 pandemic. Some online travel agents have reported difficulties in securing refunds from airlines to pass on to their customers, meaning they have handed only partial refunds for cancelled package holidays. But under the Package Travel and Linked Travel Regulations 2018, if a package holiday is cancelled by the provider, the customer is legally entitled to a full refund - including all travel and travel-related services - within 14 days.",

The work to improve drainage is set to start on 15 March and will cost £3.5m. Network Rail said it is working to get the line \"in the best possible shape\" for when more passengers return as coronavirus restrictions are lifted. The company said water currently leaks through the walls of the 140-year-old tunnel, causing flooding and slowing down the passenger and freight trains that use the line. It added between 2012 and 2020, delays caused by tunnel flooding totalled 15,000 minutes - more than 10 days. With the country still in lockdown due to the coronavirus pandemic, Network Rail intends to condense a year's worth of overnight weekend work into five consecutive days between 15 and 19 March. It is thought to be the longest full closure of the tunnel since it opened in 1881. The company said the move will save £7.5m, as it would have cost about £11m to do over consecutive weekends lasting a year, as opposed to £3.5m now. While the work takes place, buses will replace trains between Rugby and Northampton for London Northwestern Railway passengers. Avanti West Coast trains will be diverted between Rugby and Milton Keynes, with changes to departure and arrival times at London Euston.

The armed forces will help carry out the pilot scheme. Liverpool has one of the highest Covid-19 death rates in England, and doctors at the city's intensive care units have told the BBC they're struggling to cope. Despite widespread optimism, the BBC's James Gallagher says there are questions about mass testing. False positives could be a problem, as could individual behaviour - can authorities do better at persuading people who do test positive to isolate? About a third of in-patients now have Covid-19 463 Covid positive patients 743 Non-Covid patients 124 Suspected Covid patients 2. Kids' sport suspended The clock is ticking down towards the start of England's second nationwide lockdown. Retailers preparing to close their doors have told us how they're feeling, and plenty of sectors have been making last-minute arguments for an exemption. Children's grassroots sport, for one, has been told a reprieve won't be granted. Footballer Robbie Savage is among those angry at the decision, and BBC sports editor Dan Roan says pressure to at least make the return of youth sport next month a priority will continue. 3. Uni cash struggles Universities and colleges in England face \"significant funding shortfalls and heightened uncertainty\" due to the pandemic, according to the Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS). The loss of many overseas students - and the high fees they pay - are a factor, as is the threat of potentially higher dropout rates. Those things combined with high pension costs create considerable financial risk for the sector, warns the IFS. In July, ministers said universities could apply for emergency loans. 4. Cyber-threat agency confronts Covid-19 attacks The UK's National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) dealt with more than 700 incidents during the past year and more than a quarter were linked to coronavirus. Protecting the NHS and health-related research has been a priority, its annual report reveals. Some of the incidents related to countering nation-state attacks, but most were criminal in nature. The NCSC also says it thwarted 15,354 campaigns that had used coronavirus themes as a \"lure\" to scam people. 5.

An inquest found she was being checked hourly, and staff \"missed opportunities\" to review her care. The trust said it had implemented \"meaningful and ongoing changes\" as a result. The inquest at Winchester Coroner's Court heard Mrs Duarte had had mental health problems over two decades. She had twice been admitted to Antelope House as a voluntary inpatient after taking several overdoses of her anti-depressant medication. The day before she killed herself, the inquest heard Mrs Duarte had threatened to harm herself with a plastic knife, had talked about jumping off the roof of Ikea and overturned a table in frustration. After giving her Lorazepam to settle her down, staff said they did not feel they needed to increase her observation and she was checked every hour, rather than the 15 minute check for high-risk patients. Cries for help The coroner said he felt Mrs Duarte's mental state had been altered by changes to her medication - and it would have been helpful if her family had been involved in those discussions to give her more support. Following the inquest her husband Marco said: \"Joey had so many cries for help and they missed all those cries. \"I really feel they failed us and they failed Jo, they failed our family. We will miss her forever.\" Lynne Hunt, chair of board of South Health, said: \"Our own investigations and the coroner's conclusions revealed missed opportunities. \"Joey's death has led to meaningful and ongoing changes to make Antelope House, and indeed all our whole trust, a safer place.\" An independent investigation in the wake of the deaths of Ms Duarte and another patient Ellie Brabant, made recommendations that risk assessments and observations involve families more closely.

However, the decision sparked a flurry of social media comment, and the local authority said the decision would make modernising more difficult and costly.

The high-rises involved - built in the 1960s - are Gilcomstoun Land, Porthill Court, Seamount Court, Virginia Court, Marischal Court, Thistle Court, Hutcheon Court, and Greig Court. The decision by HES was announced on Tuesday, on the grounds of the \"outstanding\" importance of the blocks. 'Simply ridiculous' Council co-Leader Douglas Lumsden told BBC Scotland: \"There will be a report coming to the city growth committee early next month and it will be our intention to appeal this decision. \"There are eight of these buildings that have been listed, one of the options they could have had was just to list one of those. \"It's a decision that I can't really quite understand and I think many people right across the city can't understand.\" The opposition SNP group on the council said it also supported an appeal. Group leader Alex Nicoll described the listing as \"simply ridiculous\". 'Consistent reassurance' HES responded in a statement: \"Prior to the decision, we conducted an extensive public consultation which included meeting with local residents to hear their views. \"Throughout this process, we have provided consistent reassurance to Aberdeen City Council, residents and other stakeholders that listing will not prevent routine like-for-like repairs or maintenance. \"We have offered to work closely with the council on energy efficiency research at the flats to help to ensure that they remain fit for purpose, and have also made them aware that we support the principle of a district heating system for the multi-storey flats.

Mr Dos Santos is the highest profile person targeted in new President João Lourenço's anti-corruption drive. He had led oil-rich Angola's sovereign wealth fund during his father's rule. However, he was removed from this role in January, months after a BBC investigation into Angola's $5bn fund and following an internal governance review. The allegations against him relate to the $500m transferred to a British bank, which was then frozen by authorities in the UK. The UK say the money can now be returned. Mr Dos Santos was formally named a suspect in the investigation, along with the former governor of Angola's central bank, Valter Filipe da Silva. Neither was immediately available for comment. Mr Zanga said there was no chance of the case falling under any sort of amnesty currently being offered by the government. \"A pardon will not work... this case will run to its final outcome,\" he said. Mr Dos Santos was the second of the former president's children to be dismissed by Mr Lourenço. His sister Isabel was removed as head of the state oil company Sonangol last year. Billionaire Ms Dos Santos is Africa's richest woman; it is not known how much her brother is worth. Many of the former president's children have government-linked roles. Mr Dos Santos stepped down after 38 years in power last year. Mr Lourenço, also known as JLo, succeeded him with a promise of cracking down on corruption.

            "input": "By Chris BaraniukTechnology reporter But a UK security firm has shown the BBC how one tool, sold around the world to spooks, actually works. It allows spies to take secret pictures with a phone's camera and record conversations with the microphone, without the phone owner knowing. Hacking Team's software was recently stolen from the company by hackers and published on the web. Almost any data on a phone, tablet or PC can be accessed by the tool and it is fascinating how much it can do. When Joe Greenwood, of cybersecurity firm 4Armed, saw that source code for the program had been dumped online by hackers, he couldn't resist experimenting with it. Although he had to fiddle with the code to make it work, it only took a day before he had it up and running. The software consists of the surveillance console, which displays data retrieved from a hacked device, and malware planted on the target device itself. 4Armed was careful to note that using it to spy on someone without their consent would be against the law. Listening in After testing the software on his own PC, Mr Greenwood soon realised the scope of its capabilities. \"You can download files, record microphones, webcam images, websites visited, see what programs are running, intercept Skype calls,\" he told the BBC. The software even has some in-built features to track Bitcoin payments, which can be difficult to associate with individuals without additional data about when and how transactions were performed. In a live demonstration of the system, Mr Greenwood showed how an infected phone could be made to record audio from the microphone, even when the device was locked, and use the phone's camera without its owner knowing. \"We can actually take photos without them realising. \"So the camera in the background is running, taking photos every number of seconds,\" explained Mr Greenwood. It was also possible to listen in on phone calls, access the list of contacts stored on the device and track what websites the phone user was visiting. Both Mr Greenwood and 4Armed's technical director, Marc Wickenden, said they were surprised by the sleekness of the interface. Both point out, though, that customers could be paying upwards of £1m for the software and would expect it to be user-friendly, especially if it was intended for use by law enforcers on the beat. For the tracked user, though, there are very few ways of finding out that they are being watched. One red flag, according to Mr Greenwood, is a sudden spike in network data usage, indicating that information is being sent somewhere in the background. Experienced spies, however, would be careful to minimise this in order to remain incognito. At present, spy software like this is only likely to be secretly deployed on the phones and computers of people who are key targets for an intelligence agency. Spy catcher The version of the spyware distributed online is now likely to be more easily detected by anti-virus programs because companies analysing the source code are in the process of updating their systems to recognise it. Security expert Graham Cluley said it should be as easy to detect as malware. \"The danger will be that malicious hackers could take that code and augment it or change it so it no longer looks like Hacking Team's versions, which might avoid detection,\" he added. The best course of action, said Mr Cluley, is to keep operating systems and software as up to date as possible. In a statement, a spokesman for Hacking Team said it advised its customers not to use the software once the breach was discovered. \"As soon as the event was discovered, Hacking Team immediately advised all clients to discontinue the use of that version of the software, and the company provided a patch to assure that client surveillance data and other information stored on client systems was secure. \"From the beginning Hacking Team has assumed that the code that has been released is compromised,\" he said. The spokesman added that the software would be operated by clients of Hacking Team, not Hacking Team itself, and therefore no sensitive data relating to ongoing investigations had been compromised in the breach. \"Of course, there are many who would use for their own purposes the information released by the criminals who attacked Hacking Team. \"This was apparently not a concern of the attackers who recklessly published the material for all online. \"Compiling the software would take considerable technical skill, so not just anyone could do that, but that is not to say it is impossible,\" he said.",

Walmart later said it was raising the minimum age for anyone buying guns or ammunition to 21 years. It came as Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School pupils returned to classes. Grief counsellors were on hand as students and teachers arrived at the campus, two weeks after 17 of their peers were shot dead by an expelled former student with an AR-15 rifle. In the aftermath of the 14 February shooting, pressure has mounted on US politicians to act on gun control and for corporations to cut ties with the powerful National Rifle Association (NRA). Firms including Hertz car rental, United airlines and Delta airlines have ended discounts to NRA members. Walmart, the largest seller of guns in the US, said it would remove items from its website that resembled assault-style rifles. The retailer stopped selling high-powered rifles in its shops in 2015, citing low demand. In a statement, Walmart said: \"We take seriously our obligation to be a responsible seller of firearms.\" In Washington, President Donald Trump urged a group of lawmakers with diverse views to come up with a comprehensive bipartisan solution in a televised meeting. Republican leaders in Congress have rejected raising the minimum legal age to buy rifles from 18 to 21, but Mr Trump said he \"would give pretty serious thought to it\", despite opposition from the NRA, which supported him as a candidate. He told the lawmakers: \"Some of you people are petrified of the NRA, you can't be petrified.\" Also on Wednesday, a teacher in the state of Georgia was arrested after barricading himself in a classroom and firing a handgun. No-one was injured. In announcing its policy change, Dick's Sporting Goods said in a statement that it had \"tremendous respect and admiration for the students organising and making their voices heard regarding gun violence in schools and elsewhere in our country\". It added: \"We have heard you. The nation has heard you.\" The retailer said it was committing itself to: It said that while it supported the Second Amendment to the US constitution, which protects the right to keep and bear arms, \"gun violence is an epidemic that's taking the lives of too many people\". Dick's CEO Edward Stack told CNN he expected a backlash from some customers, saying \"the hunt business is an important part of the business, no doubt about it\". The Parkland shooting suspect, 19-year-old Nikolas Cruz, bought a gun at Dick's but not the weapon he is alleged to have used in the attack, Mr Stack said. \"We did everything by the book, and we did everything that the law required, and he was still able to buy a gun,\" he told ABC. Emotional return At Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, a line of police officers, school staff and community members bearing flowers greeted some 3,000 students who returned to classes on Wednesday morning. There were also many reporters, shouting questions to the teenagers about how they felt. Lyliah Skinner, a 16-year-old student, told the BBC before she left home: \"We're not going to really be learning much today - it's all about healing.\" She also said she was feeling nervous \"because I'm scared it's gonna happen again\". Lyliah listed people she knew who would not be returning, including Joaquin Oliver, who sat just in front of her in a class they shared. David Hogg, a senior student and now leading activist, was also feeling trepidation. It was \"really hard to think about\" what occurred two weeks ago, he said. \"Imagine getting in a plane crash and having to get back on the same plane again and again and again and being expected to learn and act like nothing's wrong,\" he told NBC News. The handling of the shooting by authorities sparked criticism after it emerged that the FBI and local police had failed to follow up on multiple tips about Mr Cruz, and that an armed deputy at the school had stayed outside the school building while the attack took place. The school's Building 12, the site of the shootings, will remain closed and cordoned off indefinitely. Armed school 'marshals' Members of Florida's State House and Senate will soon begin reviewing proposed bills related to firearms, which need their approval and also that of Governor Rick Scott.

But the new rules have been criticised because they do not include punishments for those who choose to ignore them. Business owners often resent efforts to force them to ban smoking on their premises, because many customers do not like the rules and complain. The new rules prohibit smoking in places like restaurants, hotels, railway stations or theatres, but not at the office. Employers will be obliged to warn staff of the dangers of smoking but not to forbid them from lighting up at their desks. Resistance Shanghai imposed similar rules a year ago, but people do not seem to take much notice of them. Often you find people smoking at the next table while you are eating your meal or having a drink in a bar. The problem is the regulations do not specify punishments for businesses or individuals who flout them. It appears that many Chinese people are unaware of the dangers of smoking. Research suggests only one in four knows the harm cigarettes or second-hand smoke can cause. Officials say they have to try to persuade people not to smoke to try to reduce the numbers dying from smoking related diseases. At the same time though the government makes a lot of money from the sales of cigarettes by the state-owned firm that makes and sells all tobacco products throughout the country.",

Twenty-two police officers are being held in connection with the shooting. \"Like all the Mexican society, I am shocked by this situation and I can assure you that there will be no impunity,\" Mr Pena Nieto wrote later in his Twitter account.

Iguala lies about 200km (120 miles) south of the capital Mexico City. Three people were killed when police shot at the buses. Another three were shot dead in an incident that took place a few hours later, on 27 September. Witnesses said that most of the survivors - all trainee teachers - were bundled into police vans before disappearing.

            "input": "By Jonathan MorrisBBC News, Plymouth Lead workers, stonemasons, coppersmiths, glaziers and conservators have been busy sprucing up the centrepiece of the 11th Century Buckfast Abbey. The church was rebuilt in 1932 but the entire abbey and grounds are getting a makeover to mark the abbey's millennium in 2018. Restoration of the church, with a new limestone floor, is costing about £4m, according to the abbot, David Charlesworth. Elsewhere, new workshops have been built, a terrace has been added to the restaurant and there are big plans to increase accommodation for visitors. It is a huge turnaround from the 1980s when the monastery was in serious financial difficulties. And underpinning it all is the success of Buckfast Tonic Wine, which is made at the abbey. \"Clearly there were financial problems,\" said Abbot Charlesworth, 62, who has been at the abbey since he was a would-be monk aged 18. \"And there is no great fund in the Vatican that doles out money. \"A monastery is an independent entity which happens to be linked to Rome.\" At the beginning of the 1980s, the monastery produced the tonic wine, but \"it was not the industry which it is today\", said the abbot. From a team of about 20 lay staff in the 1980s, the abbey now employs 123 across its shops, cafes, maintenance departments and a modern winery, opened two years ago. The abbey's charitable trust, chaired by the abbot, is a 34% shareholder in the wine's seller, J Chandler and Co, and gets a royalty fee for every bottle sold. Last year the trust received £6.6m, which includes income from other activities such as the shops, restaurant, a conference centre and accommodation. The conference facilities are located in the abbey's former prep school, along with an interactive education centre that draws in 11,000 young visitors a year. The conference centre is on the site of a former preparatory boarding school. A former monk and headmaster, Gregory Miller, 80, was given a suspended prison sentence earlier this year for making and possessing indecent images of children. The abbey community at the time spoke of its \"betrayal and dismay\" and said \"there is absolutely no place for this totally unacceptable behaviour\". Ordained priest William Manahan, 80, was jailed for 15 months in 2007 for sexually abusing boys at the school between 1971 and 1978. Another monk at the abbey, Paul Couch, was convicted in 2007 of two serious sexual offences and 11 indecent sexual assaults against boys at the school and was jailed for 10 years and nine months. Bishop Christopher Budd ordered an investigation by the NSPCC after Christopher Jarvis, 49, who was employed by the Diocese of Plymouth to investigate sex abuse allegations, was jailed for a year in 2011 after admitting 12 counts involving indecent images. The school closed in 1994, with the abbey saying it had become financially unviable. Abbot Charlesworth said that today the tonic wine was the \"biggest part\" of the abbey's income. \"We use the income to consolidate what we are doing here, particularly to make sure the buildings are in good order.\" Father James Courtney, the abbey bursar, is the only monk still involved in the Buckfast production which is staffed by three lay workers. \"I look in from time to time and say you're all doing very well,\" he said. \"Monks have been making drinks for centuries. Dom Perignon invented champagne and Chardonnay was invented by monks. \"I feel a lot of satisfaction with the winery. \"A lot of hard work and resources have gone into what I think is the right direction.\" Adjoining the abbey is a huge former wool spinning plant which the abbey bought earlier this year. Details of the plant's future are unclear, but the abbey hopes to create more jobs there. The number of monks has declined - there were about 40 when the Abbot Charlesworth was elected abbot in 1992. Now there are 15. \"Monasteries don't exist in bubbles, they exist in societies,\" he said. \"It is a society that might talk a lot about spiritual things but it's a pick and mix way of dealing with it \"If I get bored with pilates, yoga, evangelical, fundamentalism, Christianity, Judaism, whatever, I can dump it. \"It's a very restless society and therefore it's very difficult for people to commit themselves to this way of life. \"So if you look at the bigger picture it's not surprising.\" He has established a house of \"vocational discernment\" - a sort of stepping stone into monastic life without any commitment. There are summer schools too - and other events aimed at bringing more people into the monastery. And like Abbot Charlesworth, who arrived as a teenager, he hopes that some will stay. \"All these things are bringing people here so they can investigate the potential of Buckfast and whether they have a part in something like this,\" he said. \"But it is not about numbers, but the spirit of those here.\"",

Population growth Graham Hughes, director of strategy and development at the council said \"a whole range of things\" - including rail links - were being proposed to cope with congestion on the county's roads. \"Rail is very important, but it's not everything,\" he said. \"However, we're saying with the right conditions these things could come forward in the future.\" He said reinstating the stations at Fulbourn and Cherry Hinton was first suggested 15 years ago but was \"not viable at the time\". \"Population in those areas is growing, as is the need for people to get around. It is likely to be one or the other - not both,\" Mr Hughes said.

O2's 4G network will launch with a range of LTE-enabled handsets, from Samsung, Nokia and others. An O2 spokeswoman told the BBC it wanted its 4G network up and running \"as quickly as possible\". \"We are pushing hard on behalf of our customers,\" she added. \"We are hopeful we can come to some agreement to bring the current time line forward.\" Legal action? The iPhone 5 is the first of Apple's handsets to support 4G, but it has been optimised for just three spectrum bands - the 1800MHz band, which EE has been allowed to use for 4G services, the 850MHz, which doesn't work in the UK, and the 2.1GHz band, which currently only supports 3G services. Apple has taken the view the 800MHz and 2.6GHz bands, for which O2 and Vodafone and other operators will be able to bid at auction in spring 2013, are not \"developed enough\", according to Matthew Howett, an analyst with research firm Ovum. This could prove a problem for operators around Europe and would be an important differentiator for EE, he said. O2 and Vodafone could petition Ofcom to allow them to reuse the 3G band for 4G services. But Mr Howett said: \"The 3G band is heavily occupied. Ofcom has said it could take five to 10 years to free up the 3G spectrum for 4G.\" An alternative would be to launch legal action to prevent EE from rolling out its 4G network. No upgrade But if O2 and Vodafone wanted to persuade Ofcom to speed up the timetable for the auction, launching legal action was unlikely to help their case, said Mr Howett. 3 is the only other UK operator who has the opportunity to launch 4G services that will work with the new iPhone. It recently bought some of Everything Everywhere's 1800MHz spectrum although it is not allowed to launch services until September 2013. \"It may ask Ofcom to allow it to launch earlier,\" said Mr Howett. A poll conducted by discount website MyVoucherCode found only a quarter of mobile phone users planned to upgrade to 4G \"in the near future\". Most, 52%, said they would not switch until 4G was available on their current network, while 58% of those not interested in buying a 4G handset said it was because they did not think 4G service would be available in their location.

One MP voiced scepticism to the BBC about the timing, arguing it made the issue \"essentially cash for honours\". BHS, sold by Sir Philip last year, subsequently collapsed with 11,000 jobs lost and a £571m pension deficit. Sir Philip has vowed several times to sort out the pension problem, telling MPs in June that his advisers were working on a \"resolvable and sortable\" solution. On Monday, he told ITV that he was in a \"very strong dialogue\" with the pensions regulator to find a solution, but would not put a number on the level of financial support he would be willing to give. 'Damning report' A damning MPs' report on the High Street chain's failure, published in July, concluded Sir Philip had extracted large sums and left the business on \"life support\". At the time Sir Philip described the report as \"the pre-determined and inaccurate output of a biased and unfair process\". A debate in the House of Commons on Thursday will discuss whether Sir Philip's knighthood, awarded in 2006 for services to retail, should be removed. Should they vote on the issue, any such vote would not be binding. The issue would be for the Honours Forfeiture Committee - part of the Cabinet Office - to decide. Analysis: Simon Jack, BBC business editor Sir Philip's knighthood hinges on whether he makes good on a promise to secure the future of 20,000 BHS pension scheme members. As things stand, many of them face a cut in their pension benefits if the scheme ends up in the industry backed pension protection fund. Despite repeated assurances, so far he has tabled no firm offer. But, the BBC has leaned that a meeting with the pensions regulator to work through obstacles to a final deal is scheduled before the end of the week. The decision on whether to have a vote on Thursday on his knighthood rests with the speaker of the House of Commons. It falls to him to decide whether it is worth waiting to see if Sir Philip can produce a deal before MPs vote on whether to start the process of removing his title. MPs contacted by the BBC have expressed scepticism about this latest offer - one described it as essentially \"cash for honours\".

It followed UK citizens' complaints about behavioural advertising. The Commission says that under EU law the UK ought to have an independent national authority to supervise interception of communications. The user's consent is required for any interception of e-mails or internet surfing, the Commission says, objecting to the UK's Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000 (RIPA), which allows a person to intercept communications if he or she has \"reasonable grounds for believing\" that consent has been given. The Commission says sanctions are required under EU law for any unlawful interception, whether done intentionally or not. The EU rules define consent as \"freely given, specific and informed indication of a person's wishes\". Dispute over ads The Commission started the legal action following trials of the Phorm ad-serving system on BT's network in 2006 and 2007.

'Significant error' The BBC said the \"unfortunate consequence of the decision to bring forward the transmission date was that reference to the boy's real first name was inadvertently included\". The corporation said the oversight hadn't led to any negative consequences or to him being identified by anyone he didn't already know. However, Ofcom's ruling said it was \"a significant error which had the potential to undermine a vulnerable young person's care and lead to negative consequences for him\". In a statement, an Ofcom spokeswoman said there had been \"some serious lapses in the production process\". She said: \"Clearly there was significant public interest in the programme's exposure of the alleged mistreatment of young offenders, but the BBC had a responsibility to safeguard the privacy of all the young people involved.\" Despite this, Ofcom said they would not be levying a sanction in this case. 'Immediate steps' taken A BBC spokeswoman said: \"We accept and regret that due to extreme time pressures, the programme team inadvertently broadcast the real first name of a minor in the initial transmission. \"Panorama took immediate steps to correct the programme on iPlayer and there have been no negative consequences as a result, with the boy's mother saying that he has not been identified by those who did not already know him. \"We are pleased that Ofcom have acknowledged the clear and significant public interest in this investigation which exposed the mistreatment and bullying of young people and led to G4S losing the contract to run Medway Secure Training Centre as well as a serious case review.\" The serious case review is expected to report later this year. The programme resulted in seven members of staff being suspended and four being sacked. Police also took action, leading to a trial. In March, four men were cleared of misconduct in a public office over their actions at the facility. Follow us on Facebook, on Twitter @BBCNewsEnts, or on Instagram at bbcnewsents.

            "input": "The researcher, called Zemnmez, found two separate flaws on HMRC's online tax service. He said finding who to report the issues to was more challenging than finding the bugs. HMRC said it had addressed the problems and was looking at improving ways for people to get in touch. Zemnmez said exploiting either flaw could have let attackers view or modify tax records or harvest key details from Britons. \"I spent days reaching out to half a dozen different government social media accounts attempting to find where the right place to go was and got nothing meaningful in response,\" he told the BBC. The UK's National Cyber Security Centre - contacted through friends with intelligence connections - was key in helping get the security problems solved, he added. Common weakness Clues that the HMRC site was vulnerable to attack were picked up by Zemnmez as he was using the site to check his taxes. His expertise and experience in finding similar bugs on other websites suggested that the way the HMRC log-in system interacted with his browser left it vulnerable to some well-known attacks. After a short period of experimentation, he found that it was possible to use the HMRC site as a \"forwarding service\" and send a victim to any site an attacker wanted. \"This could be used to coax the victim into revealing financial information, credentials and usernames and passwords,\" he said. This type of bug is known as an open redirect vulnerability and is a common weakness found on lots of different sites, he added. The second security issue took longer to uncover, said Zemnmez, but was potentially more damaging as, if exploited, it could give an attacker control over a victim's information, potentially letting them modify it. Ironically, he said, the code vulnerable to this serious bug was found in a website script used to digitally fingerprint users for fraud protection. Exploiting this bug would have been much trickier for cyber-thieves, he said, adding that it was likely that anyone interested in attacking the HMRC site would use more straightforward methods to get people to hand over information. 'Very frustrating' In response, an HMRC spokesman said: \"HMRC has addressed the vulnerabilities mentioned in this article and we undertake regular testing of our systems.\" He added: \"HMRC takes the protection of customer data very seriously and invests heavily to secure our services.\" Zemnmez said that although finding the security issues was straightforward, tracking down people in government that could help fix them proved to be \"very frustrating\". While trying to report the issues he found, Zemnmez discovered that the UK government does run a \"responsible disclosure\" programme that seeks reports of problems with government sites and services. However, he said, the fact that it was invitation-only limited its usefulness. \"I understand the significant difficulties involved in these programmes,\" he told the BBC. \"If a programme were opened to the public to disclose issues without very significant and robust preparation, it would quickly become totally overwhelmed by the volume of reports, both valid and invalid.\" Despite this, he said, there should be a way for government to handle reports from seasoned security experts who let them know about problems with the most sensitive official systems. The HMRC said it was in close contact with the NCSC about the way it handled security. It said: \"HMRC is working with the NCSC to ensure that there is a single route for reporting security vulnerabilities to government. \"HMRC is also working to ensure that our internal processes are better streamlined to ensure that those reporting vulnerabilities are contacted in good time.\"",

            "input": "He described the move to \"unfriend Australia\" as arrogant and disappointing. Facebook is responding to a proposed law which would make tech giants pay for news content on their platforms. It says the legislation \"fundamentally misunderstands\" the relationship between the platform and publishers. Australians on Thursday woke up to find that Facebook pages of all local and global news sites were unavailable. People outside the country are also unable to read or access any Australian news publications on the platform. Several government health and emergency pages were also blocked. Facebook later asserted this was a mistake and many of these pages are now back online. Both Google and Facebook have fought the law, saying it unfairly \"penalises\" their platforms. However, in contrast to Facebook, Google has in recent days signed payment deals with major Australian media outlets. Facebook's action came hours after Google agreed to pay Rupert Murdoch's News Corp for content from news sites across its media empire. What is the response to the ban? In a statement posted on Facebook, Mr Morrison said that big tech companies might be changing the world but this did not mean they should run it. \"Facebook's actions to unfriend Australia today, cutting off essential information services on health and emergency services, were as arrogant as they were disappointing,\" he said. \"I am in regular contact with the leaders of other nations on these issues. We simply won't be intimidated,\" he added. Mr Morrison urged Facebook to work constructively with the government, \"as Google recently demonstrated in good faith\". Treasurer Josh Frydenberg said the ban on news information had a \"huge community impact\". About 17 million Australians visit the social media site every month. Consumption of digital news through social media and search engines is growing in Australia, according to the Reuters Digital News Report for 2020. Some 37% of consumers who took part said they had gained access to news via social media over the course of a week, compared with 31% who had directly accessed websites or apps, the report said. Western Australia Premier Mark McGowan accused Facebook of \"behaving like a North Korean dictator\". Others suggested that a news vacuum could be filled by misinformation and conspiracy theories. Human Rights Watch's Australia director said Facebook was censoring the flow of information in the country - calling it a \"dangerous turn of events\". The move also faced criticism abroad. Julian Knight, the head of the British parliamentary committee overseeing the media industry, told Reuters news agency it was \"bully boy action\". Meanwhile, the company behind the Guardian newspaper said it was \"deeply concerned\". What about the public reaction? Many Australians are angry about their sudden loss of access to trusted and authoritative sources. \"It feels obviously very restrictive in what Facebook is going to allow people to do in the future, not only in Australia but around the world,\" Peter Firth, in Sydney, told the BBC. Amelia Marshall said she could not believe the firm's decision \"in the middle of a pandemic\", adding: \"I've made the long-overdue decision to permanently delete my Facebook account.\" Why is Facebook doing this? Australian authorities had drawn up the laws to \"level the playing field\" between the tech giants and struggling publishers over profits. Of every A$100 (£56; $77) spent on digital advertising in Australian media these days, A$81 goes to Google and Facebook. But Facebook said the law left it \"facing a stark choice: attempt to comply with a law that ignores the realities of this relationship, or stop allowing news content on our services in Australia\". \"With a heavy heart, we are choosing the latter,\" it said in a blog post. The law sought \"to penalise Facebook for content it didn't take or ask for\", the company's local managing director William Easton said. Facebook said it helped Australian publishers earn about A$407m last year through referrals, while \"the platform gain from news is minimal\". However, Facebook is by far the most important social platform for news. In Australia, about 36% of people use the platform for news. Meanwhile, only 14% of Australians pay for online news. Also, media companies have seen a long-term decline in advertising revenue while that of Google and Facebook has risen in recent years. Under the ban, Australian publishers are restricted from sharing or posting any links on their Facebook pages. The national broadcaster, ABC, and newspapers like The Australian have millions of followers. What will happen to the law? Australia's conservative government is standing by the law - which passed the lower house of parliament on Wednesday. It has broad cross-party support and the Senate is likely to pass it next week. \"We will legislate this code. We want the digital giants paying traditional news media businesses for generating original journalistic content,\" said Mr Frydenberg. He pointed out that Facebook, like Google, had been negotiating pay deals with local organisations. Will fake news thrive? Facebook's ban on news sites on its Australian-facing site could well lead to greater prominence for unverified and untrusted information, helping disinformation to spread further. First Draft, a site which investigates the spread of false and misleading posts online, warned the restrictions will \"open up a vacuum that could be filled in part by mis and disinformation\". Facebook says it will continue to remove harmful misinformation, connect users with reliable health advice and work with third party fact checkers. One of the topics for which a great deal of unreliable information is shared online is that of Covid-19 vaccines. So we looked at search results for the word \"vaccine\" over the past 12 hours on Facebook pages primarily based in Australia and found prominent results for sites casting doubt on the coronavirus pandemic. This search also brings up reliable information sources, and further analysis will be needed over the next few days to see whether this anecdotal evidence is backed up by longer term data.",

            "input": "By Zahra HankirBusiness reporter, BBC News The firm blamed slower asset sales and delays to a Middle East project. Carillion is a major supplier to the government and helps to maintain schools and hospitals. It is also part of a consortium building the £56bn HS2 high-speed rail link. The latest announcement follows separate profit warnings issued in July and September this year. In its latest update, the company said it might need \"some form of recapitalisation\" in order to revive its fortunes. Interim chief executive Keith Cochrane said: \"Whilst we continue to target cash collections, reduce costs, execute disposals and focus on delivering for our customers, it is clear that significant challenges remain and more needs to be done to reduce net debt and rebuild the balance sheet.\" Carillion said profits for this year would be \"materially lower than current market expectations\", and it now expected average net borrowing in 2017 to be between £875m and £925m. What is Carillion involved in? Government 'supportive' The company said that based on its latest forecasts it expected it would breach its financial covenants - agreements with its lenders - at the end of the year. The Cabinet Office said it had been \"kept informed\" of steps taken by Carillion to restructure its business. \"We remain supportive of their ongoing discussions with their stakeholders and await future updates on their progress,\" a government spokesperson said. The contractor plays an integral role in the UK's services industry. As well as HS2, it has worked or is working on Crossrail, Battersea Power Station, the Library of Birmingham, and hundreds of schools, where it provides facility management services. It has also been involved in major projects across the Middle East that include the New York University in Abu Dhabi and the Royal Opera House of Oman. Shares in the company have now fallen by about 90% this year. \"The company is admitting what we've all already suspected: it will need some sort of debt restructuring,\" said Sam Bland of JP Morgan. \"More organic methods simply aren't going to be feasible\". \"If debt restructuring happens, you have to presume that current shareholders would be left with very little value,\" he added. In July this year, Carillion shares plunged after it had to set aside £845m in provisions and its chief executive, Richard Howson, stepped down. At the time, the government was forced to seek assurances from Carillion's partners on the HS2 project that they could step in to complete the work if necessary. Analysis: Simon Jack, BBC business editor A high profile bust would come at a bad time for a government keen to big up its economic dynamism. Next week's unveiling of its Industrial Strategy and the chancellor's Budget are expected to feature investment in housing and infrastructure. Having the UK's second biggest construction firm go under would not improve the economic mood music. The government is monitoring the situation but might find it hard to do more than that. Some have said that Carillion is \"too big to fail\" but Carillion is not RBS and the Treasury might take the view it is \"too small to save\" and would prefer to let the market do its work. Read Simon's blog in full 'On the cheap' Carillion has been scrambling to bolster its finances amid writedowns on some of its projects. Last month, it resorted to selling its UK healthcare arm to public-services provider Serco for £50m. The sale amounted to \"peanuts\" considering it was a high-margin business, said Neil Wilson, an analyst at ETX Capital. \"Disposals aren't enough, particularly as Carillion is selling things on the cheap\", he said. He added: \"Some investors might think this is the end, but Carillion is too big to fail. \"Government intervention is possible but this is a nightmare for ministers at such a sensitive moment for the economy\". Carillion has contracts in aviation, defence, retail, healthcare, education, oil and gas, and transport. On Wednesday, a Carillion joint venture signed a deal with Oman's Ministry of Health for a new hospital in Salalah which was valued at about £240m. Other recent deals include a joint-venture contract with Network Rail that the company says could generate up to £260m in revenue over three years. Mr Bland of JP Morgan said contracts that have hurt Carillion include a hospital in Liverpool, a bypass in Aberdeen and a tramway in Sheffield. All three projects experienced delays of at least a year. \"I don't think anyone's hopeful about Carillion,\" he said.",

She was on her way to her parents' house from the home she shared with her boyfriend in Winston Avenue. West Midlands Police urged anyone with information to \"dig deep into their conscience\" and come forward. 'Think back' Speaking at a news conference, Det Ch Insp Matt Markham said: \"New information has been developed by detectives working on the case. We can't go into the detail about the information, but it is sufficient to warrant further investigation. \"Someone out there does know what happened and holds the key, but for whatever reason they may have chosen not to come forward... \" He said he wanted people in the area to think back over whether they saw anything suspicious. Nicola was last sighted near to the Black Pad in Wood End. The latest search includes specially-trained dogs and Home Office scientists using ground x-ray and metal detection equipment. Police said it could take another two days before \"progress\" can be made. Family liaison officers are on site while the search, at parkland off Purcell Road, takes place.

He did not wish to talk about recent events, but in 2007, aged 16, he spoke about the sadness of not having any memory of his mother. He said: \"During my early years at school I wished that my mum could meet me at the school gates as other mums did with my friends. \"I envy my older cousins who remember her well, and they tell me what a fun-loving girl she was.\" At the same time, Miss Payne's father John said the family did not believe Nicola was still alive but they would never give up hope that one day she would be found. Nicola would have turned 40 next January, which police said would be a landmark date for the family. Miss Payne had left the home she shared with her boyfriend, Jason Cooke, half a mile from her parents' house. In 2007 a man was arrested in connection with her disappearance and released on bail.

            "input": "By Sean CoughlanEducation correspondent But this change in exam grades could be the big breakthrough for this undervalued number. Forget top 10s. Forget 10 out of 10. Nine is fine. It's... er... number one. 1. Amps up to 11. If number 1 was the top grade, it would be difficult to go upwards, in the way that the old A grade had an upgrade to A*. There's nowhere to go beyond above a 1. But when in a few years the inevitable clamour comes that the 9 is too easy, it will be simple enough to stick up the top grade to 10. Nigel Tufnel in the classic mock rockumentary Spinal Tap explained the principle when he boasted about why the band's amplifiers went up to 11. Tufnel: \"If we need that extra push over the cliff, you know what we do?\" Interviewer: \"Put it up to 11.\" Tufnel: \"Eleven. Exactly. One louder.\" Interviewer: \"Why don't you just make 10 louder and make 10 the top number and make that a little louder?\" Tufnel: \"These go to 11.\" 2. Up to the nines. It's been ingrained that rankings run downwards in status - whether it's the pop charts going down from number one or university degree grades with first class above second and third. But it needn't be this way. Nine has its own idiomatic claims to be top. Dressed to the nines. The whole nine yards. A stitch in time saves nine. Lucky cats have nine lives. A whip with many ends is a \"cat-o'-nine tails\". Since ancient times, nine seems to have been associated with the horizon, the last point on a numbering system before beginning again. They all imply nine is a high point or lots of something. 3. The inevitable headline. It's only a matter of time before news stories about GCSE results have pictures of brainy, jumping triplets celebrating a string of top grades with the headline \"On cloud nine.\" 4. Nine is a mystical number. Hinduism, the religions of ancient Greece and Egypt and Norse mythology all use nine as a significant and symbolic number. There are associations with completeness and fulfilment. On Christmas Eve, the iconic service from King's College Cambridge is Nine Lessons and Carols. The prayer cycles of \"novenas\" are over nine days. The pop singer John Lennon has been described as having been obsessed with the number nine. He was born on the ninth, he lived in a house with a number nine and various events in his life were associated with the number. 5. Bingo lingo. In the banter of bingo callers, number nine is \"doctor's orders\". There are competing theories about the origins, including that Number 9 was the name of a laxative pill given by army and navy doctors during World War Two. 6. A group of nine is called an ennead. And in geometry, an enneagon or nonagon is a nine-sided shape. Or how about that \"noon\" is originally from the Latin for the ninth hour? Think such uplifting thoughts, and when you hear \"Nine to one\", don't think about Fifteen to One or even worse, 3-2-1 and Dusty Bin. 7.Nine circles of hell. Teenagers getting their results, facing the long, tortuous struggle towards a grade 9, might feel empathy with those sinners in Dante's Inferno who face nine circles of pain and torment. 8. \"How is 9 on top?\" Every phrase has to begin somewhere. It will be heard muttered in homes across England, as parents try to make out whether they should be offering congratulations or commiserations. \"It says 9. But 9 out of what?\" 9. Nine-day wonder? Not really. The switch to using numerical grades for GCSEs is going to spread to other subjects over the next few years. And if you're looking for irony, the phrase \"nine-day wonder\" has been around for at least 400 years and probably much longer.",

            "input": "Loaves were the future once. In 1951, John Gregg, who had spent more than a decade delivering yeast to homes in Newcastle via bicycle so that housewives could bake their own bread, changed his business model. He started his own shop with a bakery at the rear, selling loaves at the front. The firm grew rapidly, based on what, at the time, represented increased value and convenience. There are now 1,671 Greggs shops, with the bread they sell made at nine regional bakeries, with 20,000 people employed in total. But, despite keeping the Twitter handle @GreggstheBakers, many of its stores have stopped stocking loaves. The decision has been revealed in a series of exchanges with customer Andrew Denny, who said: \"Tried to buy a loaf of bread yesterday. To my astonishment the local Gregg's said they didn't sell it any more.\" The company responded: \"Sorry Andrew. If products aren't selling well, we take them off to allow for other products to be sold.\" After Denny said this made Greggs more like a \"snack bar\" than a baker, it added that \"we do still sell bread in some of our shops :-)\". The company says it's now focusing on \"food-on-the-go products, including sandwiches\", which are \"freshly prepared in store every day and made using our own bread\". \"While loaves of bread can still be purchased in a number of our shops where we see high levels of customer demand,\" a spokeswoman adds, \"we also understand that customer shopping habits and needs are changing and have adapted accordingly.\" Ready-made sandwiches are certainly huge business, with sales increasing by 4.2% in the last year to £7.85bn, according to the British Sandwich Association. The average price of a ready-made sandwich is £2.14, it says. This is cheap compared with most fast foods, especially when part of a lunchtime deal, including a drink and a snack, for not much more money. The concentration on takeaway sandwiches and other ready-to-eat food appears to be working for Greggs, which earlier this year gave its shareholders a £20m dividend after sales exceeded expectations. But food journalist Andrew Webb worries that bread, part of the human diet for around 9,000 years, is in danger of becoming \"little more than a carbohydrate glove\" to prevent sandwich fillings from spilling. \"We treat bread these days a little like we treat tea or milk,\" he says. \"We just want the cheapest available. It's the product that gets thrown out the most.\" Overall sales of loaves in the UK fell from the 1950s to 1980s, according to the Federation of Bakers. They stabilised during the 1980s and, since the early 1990s, have risen and fallen again. Still, 83% of consumers still buy packaged, sliced loaves, according to the market research company Mintel. Lunch breaks have become shorter, meaning more people eat in the workplace, in a style Webb calls \"al desko\". Supermarkets have entered the lunchtime market, forcing Greggs and its competitors to focus, particularly in city-centre areas heavy on office workers, on sandwiches and other convenience foods, he adds. Greggs also sells pasties, sausage rolls, salads and pizza slices, among other things. Yet sandwiches dominate front-of-shop displays. \"We continue to eat a lot of bread, but often we hardly notice it,\" says Webb. \"The decision by Greggs is another step towards this.\" Subscribe to the BBC News Magazine's email newsletter to get articles sent to your inbox.",

            "input": "Sir Mervyn King said conditions were not right for an interest rate rise. He said that when there was one, there would be a delay in it feeding through to other borrowing costs. Earlier, the head of UKAR, which holds mortgages once owned by Northern Rock, said a \"tsunami\" of homeowners would lose their homes once rates increased. Delayed impact Speaking to the Treasury Committee, Sir Mervyn said that the economy was not strong enough to cope with a rate rise at the moment. \"The reason we would raise interest rates would be in the context of a much stronger economy with unemployment falling rather than rising.\" He added that consumer borrowing charges such as mortgages, which are generally already several percentage points higher than the base rate, were unlikely to rise as quickly. \"It should also be the case that the interest rates that borrowers face should not rise as fast as the rise in bank rate,\" he said. The Bank of England has held its Bank rate at 0.5% - a record low - for more than two years. Earlier, in an interview with the Guardian newspaper, Richard Banks, the chief executive of UKAR (UK Asset Resolution), said a \"scary\" number of families faced being repossessed unless lenders prepared them for the impact of higher rates. He said his organisation was so worried about the situation it had been contacting mortgage holders it thought were likely to default, to try to keep their payments on schedule. \"You can see if you don't do something about it, you can see a tsunami,\" he said. \"If you don't get into the hills you could get drowned by this. If you don't manage this properly it could get very messy.\" Some 23,000 of the 750,000 mortgages it owns are at least six months in arrears, he said. High risk UKAR, which holds some former Bradford & Bingley and Northern Rock mortgages, is sometimes called the \"bad bank\" because of the higher proportion of riskier loans it owns. It carries a higher percentage of loans to people who \"self-certified\" - did not provide full proof of earnings- and buy-to-let landlords. But Mr Banks believes it is an industry-wide problem, one caused by over-lenience in the wake of the credit crunch as the then-Labour government pressed the banks not to make the downturn worse by being strict with borrowers. His warning comes on top of others, including from the Council of Mortgage Lenders earlier this month, which has forecast that repossessions will rise to 40,000 this year from 36,000 in 2010. Few observers expect UK interest rates to rise in the next few months, but there are warnings that keeping interest rates at this level is \"unsustainable\".",

But the overall number of cases in the county has come down and more than 100 of the staff are returning work. The county council's director of public health, Dr Louise Smith said the figures \"paint an encouraging picture\". Norfolk was designated an an area of enhanced support last week due to the outbreak. Dr Smith said 735 factory workers had been tested and a further 1,125 tests carried out \"across the community\". Of those who tested positive in the community tests, five were members of households of positive Banham workers, while 11 were \"in the community\" and six had yet to be identified. Dr Smith said the average number of coronavirus cases in Norfolk was coming down, with 8.7 cases per 100,000 from the latest figures, compared to 18.3 per 100,000 at the height of the outbreak. \"The evidence still shows no wider spread in the community, but we continue to monitor this carefully on a daily basis,\" she said. Public health officials said two thirds of contacts in the outbreak had been traced, with NHS Track and Trace receiving support from Essex County Council. They also agreed that 108 staff could return to work at Banham Poultry, but urged those returning to take a test beforehand. MP for Mid Norfolk, George Freeman, said that Banham Poultry should be eligible for financial support because of the partial closure. Andrew Proctor, leader of Norfolk County Council, said he been in touch with Mr Freeman and the government \"to see what the implications are of the outbreak for Banham Poultry\".

            "input": "By James WilliamsBBC Wales Brexit correspondent The Welsh NHS Confederation said foreign staff would be required, despite domestic recruitment efforts. Just over 2% of all NHS staff in Wales are from the European Union, according to the latest statistics. UK ministers said they wanted to have immigration working \"in the best interests of the whole of the UK\". New rules for European Union migrants are set to replace Brussels' current policy of free movement of people between the UK and the EU. But an official policy document has been delayed, prompting Downing Street to say in April that it will be published \"in the coming months\". Welsh Government Health Secretary Vaughan Gething has called for a new migration system to \"link migration policy more closely to employment, so that we can recruit the doctors, nurses and other health and care workers that we need, whilst protecting them from exploitation\". In Wales, around 30% of the roughly 8,800 doctors working in the country received their training abroad, whilst around 6% of them were trained in EU countries. Across the Welsh NHS, just over 2% of all staff are from the EU, according to the latest statistics that are recorded up until September 2016. Vanessa Young, director of the Welsh NHS Confederation, said although the overall numbers are low, there are \"particular pinch points\", for example in ophthalmology or eye specialists. \"We are facing staff shortages across the NHS in Wales, across all specialties, nurses and allied health professionals,\" she said. \"The EU workforce that we have is very important to us and we want to both be able to retain it and also ensure that we can continue to have a pipeline of staff coming through from the EU after Brexit. \"We're working hard both to recruit people from the EU and internationally as well as increasing training numbers to increase our domestic supply but that will take a bit longer. \"So, we will always need to be recruiting doctors, nurses and allied health professionals from elsewhere.\" Last month, the UK government announced it was relaxing immigration rules to allow more doctors and nurses from outside the EU into the UK. Ms Young welcomed the decision to exclude non-EU foreign medics for the government's cap on skilled migration and called on ministers in Westminster to \"ensure that we have a continuing pipeline of high calibre, skilled staff that we can recruit from the European Union\". A UK government spokesperson said: \"After we leave the EU, we will have in place an immigration system which works in the best interests of the whole of the UK. \"This system will be based on evidence. The government has commissioned advice from the Migration Advisory Committee and we continue to engage with a range of stakeholders.\" Case study - Dr Chris Subbe Dr Subbe came from Germany to work in the NHS around 25 years ago. Married to a woman from Anglesey, he is an acute physician at Ysbyty Gwynedd in Bangor, having moved to the area \"seven years ago to be closer to my in-laws\". Dr Subbe's mother was \"one of the first students who went on student exchanges in south Wales in Ebbw Vale and she was so warmly welcomed by family there\". \"They stayed in touch until the mum in that family died and she always called her 'my mum in Wales',\" he said. \"She made it her task to learn languages, to teach languages and make sure that these bridges that have been built across Europe are solid enough so it can never break apart again. \"That's what I've been brought up with and it's really hurt me personally that suddenly that's no longer a dominant value.\" But the UK government insists people from EU countries and further afield remain welcome. \"I think emotionally it's very, very different. We are welcome as long as we've got a skill as opposed to we're welcome because we're contributing and we're one of everybody else,\" Dr Subbe said.. \"We've definitely been downgraded.\" 'Nurturing' He works with a number of international colleagues but said some European trainees \"have left for that reason of the ease of working here and not being felt to be welcome.\" However, he said the quality of training still made the Welsh NHS an attractive place to work. \"We're still very much focussed on nurturing our junior doctors about doing clinical medicine and being very patient focussed,\" he added. \"I think that's something we're probably stronger at than some other health systems.\"",

            "input": "By Dr Faye KirklandBBC News Prince Kwabena Fosu's death at 31 was partly due to \"gross failure\" by agencies at the centre, the jury said. Mr Fosu was left in an isolation cell for six days without bedding while he suffered from a psychotic illness. The Home Office said the standard of care had been \"unacceptable\" and new safeguarding steps had been introduced. Coroner Chinyere Inyama said that \"almost unbelievably\" Mr Fosu died \"in plain sight\" of many people at Harmondsworth Immigration Removal Centre. Warning: Contains images some people may find distressing The jury at West London Coroner's Court found that procedures to protect vulnerable detainees at the centre were \"grossly ineffective\". Agencies running the centre and its healthcare failed to recognise, monitor and respond to the worsening condition of someone who was unable to look after himself, they found. Stripping the bedding and mattress from his cell without any lawful written authority was an indication of the \"casual approach\" of centre staff to Mr Fosu's welfare, the jury said in its conclusions. Speaking after the inquest, prisons and probations ombudsman Sue McAllister said it was \"inhuman and degrading\" for Mr Fosu to have been \"segregated, living naked in a room dirty with faeces, urine and uneaten food\" with no justification or review of the isolation. Mr Fosu arrived in the UK from Ghana in April 2012 on a valid business visa, but it was cancelled at Heathrow Airport. He appealed but in September 2012, his appeal was rejected. In October, he was arrested: a passer-by called police after seeing him walking naked on a road in Kettering, Northamptonshire. At Corby police station, officers said he continued to act bizarrely and kept undressing, but medical professionals said he did not need to be sectioned. Services in 'chaos' CCTV footage from within the station recorded him being told: \"You're going to an immigration centre. They are going to look after you. Yeah?\" Six days later he was dead in a filthy isolation cell at Harmondsworth Immigration Removal Centre. At the centre, healthcare services were in \"chaos\" after the previous provider had been \"sacked\" the year before, a healthcare manager told the inquest. A nurse assessed Mr Fosu in five minutes without seeing his medical notes, later telling the inquest she had done a \"completely inadequate assessment\" and was \"out of her depth\". Mr Fosu was seen by a cellmate to be acting oddly and talking to himself in the mirror. When approached by staff, Mr Fosu assaulted one of them and had to be restrained by at least three officers. Labelled as being disruptive and placed in segregation, Mr Fosu had no mattress or bedding and lay naked in his cell. The jury heard evidence that suggested he barely ate. Records showed that he drank a sip of tea and he appeared to sleep for only 45 minutes in six days. In less than a week, he lost 18 pounds (8kg), weighing 7 stone 6 pounds (47kg) when he died. 'Dirty protester' Detention centre staff records referred to him shuffling on his bottom, talking to himself in a language people couldn't understand, defecating in his cell and throwing food. Staff told the inquest they thought he was protesting about his removal, but no-one asked him about his behaviour. Because he urinated in his police cell before his transfer, he was labelled a \"dirty protester\". The inquest heard that there were five layers of subcontracting in the provision of healthcare for detainees. The Home Office contracted the running of the centre to GEO Group UK Ltd, which contracted healthcare to Nestor Primecare Services Ltd. It in turn contracted the recruitment of doctors to The Jersey Practice - a GP surgery in west London - which used a locum agency, Beacon Care Services Ltd. The jury said police, Home Office staff and GEO staff all failed to spot Mr Fosu's worsening condition and behaviour. GEO staff showed a \"casual approach\" to his welfare when they removed his bedding and mattress, which contributed to his hypothermia, they concluded. 'Ineffective and inadequate' The jury said the failure of Primecare staff to effectively provide healthcare to Mr Fosu was \"inexplicable\", while the GPs showed \"insufficient professional curiosity\". The Independent Monitoring Board, which was at the centre to monitor standards, was \"ineffective and inadequate\", the jury also concluded. Detention centre staff repeatedly said at the inquest that they expected healthcare staff to identify problems with detainees. The jury heard that Steve Scott, head of residence for GEO, had told an investigation into the death that he thought at the time that Mr Fosu was a \"prat\". Mental health nurse Lesley Dube said he could not remember seeing Mr Fosu but had written in detention centre notes that he had no mental health issues. He told the inquest he had not carried out a full mental health assessment, nor was he asked to. During Mr Fosu's time in isolation, he was seen by four family doctors, who were unfamiliar with all relevant detention centre rules and could not recall seeing Mr Fosu face-to-face in his cell. Two of those doctors made no notes about him in the GP records, while the other two noted he had declined to be seen but did not assess whether he was well enough to make that decision. The BBC has learned that three of these family doctors have since been referred to their regulator, the General Medical Council. The jury also found that staff at Corby police station \"failed to react to Mr Fosu's challenging behaviour\" and re-refer him to medical staff. It also concluded that opportunities were missed by the station's mental health team to fully look into Mr Fosu's medical background and history, \"resulting in an inadequate mental health assessment\". The Home Office conceded it had failed Mr Fosu with \"tragic consequences\", the jury heard. Philip Riley, director of detention and escorting services in immigration enforcement, said at the time staff did not have sufficient training or know how to manage detainees with potentially complex mental health issues, adding that the centre was severely short-staffed. A Home Office investigation identified learning opportunities on detainees in segregation and food and fluid refusal policies. A key failure identified had been healthcare and Home Office staff not seeing Mr Fosu in person. Responding to the inquest's findings, the department issued a statement in which it offered its \"deepest condolences\" to Mr Fosu's family. \"The standard of care Mr Fosu received was unacceptable, and we must never allow this to happen again,\" a spokesman said. \"Since Mr Fosu's death we have increased the number of staff in immigration removal centres, improved how detainees are managed and safeguarded, including the introduction of the Adults at Risk policy and increased monitoring of vulnerable people in detention.\" The Crown Prosecution Service had decided to charge GEO Group UK Ltd and Nestor Primecare Services Ltd with breaches in health and safety legislation but the charges were dropped in 2018. Since 2014, healthcare in removal centres has been commissioned by NHS England. But lawyers and charities working with detainees told the BBC they were still seeing cases where centres do not recognise the seriousness of mental illnesses and failings like some of those in the case of Mr Fosu recur. Mr Fosu's father, Prince Charles Obeng, told the BBC it had always been his son's wish to come to the UK. Now he is buried in a south London cemetery alongside three others, his father was told. There is a plaque with his name marking the grave, but Mr Obeng wants the government to pay for a headstone. \"If someone is placed in an immigration centre, you have to check whether the person is eating, whether the person is sleeping, whether the person is sick - you try to take care of the person,\" he told the BBC. At his grave, Mr Obeng tells his son he prays that God will give him a better place to stay.",

            "input": "By Ben CarterBBC News The Chinese economy is now worth $17.6tn, slightly higher than the $17.4tn the International Monetary Fund (IMF) estimates for the US. So for the first time since 1872, when it overtook the UK, the US has been knocked off the top spot. The IMF calculated these figures by using purchasing power parity (PPP) which enables you to compare how much you can buy for your money in different countries. As money goes further in China than in the US, the figure for China is adjusted upwards. Without the PPP adjustment, the IMF estimates that China's economy is worth far less - $10.3tn. But how much faith can be placed in the accuracy of GDP figures supplied by China when even the current premier, Li Keqiang has doubted their validity in the past? A declassified US diplomatic cable revealed that in 2007, Li, who was then secretary general of Liaoning Province, had told the US ambassador that Chinese GDP statistics were \"man-made\" and \"for reference only\". But with a population of 1.36 billion people, China really should be the world's largest economy, argues Matthew Crabbe, author of Myth-Busting China's Numbers. He's spent more than 20 years looking at the country's figures and the facts behind them. His reaction to China's new title: \"So what?\" He points out that if you look at per capita spending power - the value of all goods and services produced within a nation in a given year divided by the average population for the same year - then, even adjusted for PPP, China ($11,868) is still lagging a long way behind not only the United States ($53,001) but also the likes of Turkmenistan ($12,863) and Suriname ($16,080). So how easy is it to accurately measure the size of the Chinese economy or even just parts of it? Not very, says Crabbe. \"One of the key things that has to be understood is that distortions that happen at the village and provincial levels become amplified as they go out the statistical gathering chain. \"Year on year the GDP figures for each province grew faster than the national total, which logically and mathematically could not be.\" He attributes part of this discrepancy to corruption but also says that inaccuracies became exacerbated by the sheer size of the country and the rate at which it was growing. Inaccurate GDP figures can have serious consequences for companies that base investment decisions on them. Crabbe has a cautionary tale. In 2005 the Chinese government readjusted its GDP figures and the statistics on which they were based, including retail sales. The consensus in the retail community at the time was that nobody really understood the true size of the retail market in China. \"I went through each of the sectors to see what the real size of each of those would be, how fast they were growing and therefore what the real size of the retail market was. \"My conclusion was that the real retail market at that time was half the value of the official government figure,\" he says. Crabbe discovered there were problems with definitions of what retail goods actually were. The government figures included wholesale sales of consumer goods, some government procurement, and some business to business sales - so not everything that had been included was strictly retail. It's difficult to gauge whether the accuracy of definitions and the data have really improved in recent years. But the IMF forecasts growth of 7.4% in China for 2014 and 7.1% in 2015, compared to US growth of 2.2% this year and 3.1% next year. This means that the Chinese are unlikely to relinquish their number one status soon. In fact the IMF predicts that by the end of this decade the Chinese economy will be worth $26.98tn - 20% bigger than the US at $22.3tn. But while the US held the top spot for 142 years, China may not be able to match that record - long term financial forecasts from the IMF and others indicate that by 2100 India could overtake them both. Why China matters Robert Peston, BBC Economics Editor The most important number in the world, for the past 30 years and next five years, is China's growth rate. For 30 years its economy grew at a mind-boggling rate - roughly 10% a year but that stopped when the global economy hit problems in 2008 and it fell very sharply. Then the Chinese government did something remarkable and persuaded its banks to lend as if there was no tomorrow. They lent for investment and investment went up from an already extremely high 40% or so of GDP, to about 50% and the growth rate picked up again. There's been nothing like it in the history of capitalism. It's astonishing. The Chinese have worked out that this new way of growing through debt funded investment rather than exports can't go on forever and is actually potentially quite dangerous. So they are trying to reconstruct the economy but it's not going desperately well and growth is now around 7%. I'm not sure whether we can trust these numbers to be honest though. I think most of us would say that if we're slightly uneasy about most government statistics, then we're profoundly uneasy about China's statistics. We do know that China is slowing down and there is a big debate about how fast that should be happening. But the big story that has influenced all our lives in the last 30 years has been the economic revolution in China. For years it improved our living standards by making the things we buy cheaper and cheaper. It gulled central banks everywhere into thinking they had inflation under control so they kept interest rates way too low for too long. China generated these enormous surpluses, which it then lent to the US to finance its colossal deficit. China was the big economic force in the world - and it still is - but it's moving in the opposite direction and the speed at which it slows down and the way that it slows down influences all our lives. We should be under no illusion that the really big thing in the world, which will have an impact on our living standards is what happens in China. Nothing else really matters in comparison.

            "input": "By Steven McKenzieBBC Scotland Highlands and Islands reporter Last month, US Defence Secretary Leon Panetta lifted a ban barring women from ground-combat roles. In the weeks since the historic announcement, arguments have been made for and against the ban's demise. There has been debate over whether women are strong enough for combat roles and an argument that service in Afghanistan and Iraq has already placed women on the frontline. But, in the past, women were willing to go to extraordinary lengths to see combat. They disguised as themselves as men and took new, masculine names before enlisting in the infantry. Among them was Glasgow-born Marian McKenzie. Shortly after her birth in 1844, her mother died and her father moved the family from Scotland to New York. As a teenager, she pursued a career as an actress before giving up on that dream and travelling from town to town finding what work she could. When the American Civil War broke out in 1861, she saw her chance of a great adventure, according to Larry Eggleston, author of the book Women in the Civil War. Eighteen-year-old Marian cut her hair, dressed in men's clothing and joined the Union army's 23rd Kentucky Infantry Regiment as Pte Harry Fitzallen. Eggleston said: \"Harry Fitzallen is described in the military records as 5ft 3in tall, of Scottish origin, with a dark complexion, light blue eyes, black hair and coarse-looking and rounded features.\" Four months after joining up, Marian's true identity was discovered. She was allowed to remain in the army as a nurse but left two months later to try again at serving as an infantryman. From military records, Eggleston was able to track Marian over three years. She enlisted with various regiments - including the 92nd and 8th Ohio - and managed to last weeks or months before being found out and discharged before almost immediately enlisting with another unit. She did not reach the frontline but did participate in long marches and garrison guard duties. Eggleston said: \"She only expressed adventure as her motive, but the fact that she served for three years and continually re-enlisted makes one believe that there were other, more patriotic motives involved in her decisions.\" While researching his book, the writer also came across Kady Brownell, the daughter of a Scottish soldier who tried to serve as a combatant alongside her husband in the 1st Rhode Island Volunteers during the civil war. Eggleston said: \"She was sent back to Rhode Island by Colonel Ambrose E Burnside. \"However, Rhode Island governor William Sprauge intervened and she was returned to her husband's regiment, where she became a Daughter of the Regiment.\" A Daughter of the Regiment, also known as vivandieres, were women attached to a unit and served in canteen duties. Elizabeth Leonard, a professor of history at Colby College in Maine, said between 500 and 1,000 women were thought to have served as soldiers during the American Civil War. She said: \"We will never know for sure. Women soldiers did not want to be known and they often hid themselves very skilfully, sometimes not being discovered until very late in life.\" Prof Leonard added: \"I think that women's motivations for going undercover as male soldiers were diverse. \"Some surely enlisted so that they could stay close to men they cared about and, early on, this was probably the most common explanation that observers gave. \"But women also enlisted because they wanted to provide patriotic service and believed in the 'cause', be it Union or independence or slavery or abolition. \"They also enlisted for the sake of adventure: war offered the opportunity of travel and excitement that was inconceivable in regular life even for men - imagine how much more so for women.\" Prof Leonard said other women, particularly those who needed to support themselves, had limited job opportunities in the 19th Century and soldiering offered an alternative to teaching and domestic service. Several aspects of how armies operated in the civil war and the attitudes of the time may have helped women to maintain their double lives, the professor said. Soldiers spent most of their time outdoors, allowing the women to keep a distance between themselves and men, something that would not have been possible in barracks. The troops also rarely changed their clothes and a person in uniform was always assumed to be a man. Prof Leonard added: \"Historians today also think that it's quite possible that women who were passing as soldiers typically had at least one male member of their unit who actually knew their true identity and helped them to pass.\"",

The prime minister was speaking to an audience of 300 experts who have pledged to find a cure by 2025. He wants a team of experts to report back to him by October on how drugs companies can be encouraged to develop new dementia medicines. In his speech, the prime minister told experts that dementia is one of the \"greatest enemies of humanity\". \"We are renewing our commitment to say by 2025 we want to find a cure to dementia. We should treat this as a disease rather than as some natural part of ageing,\" he said. He said there was a need to develop more drugs and get them to patients more quickly. For that to happen, international collaboration and more money for dementia research was needed, he said. Speaking to an audience of global dementia and finance specialists, David Cameron said he would speed up progress on dementia drugs by getting experts to come up with new proposals on areas such as drug patent extensions, by October. He added: \"Something like £50m a year is being spent on dementia research, rather than the £590m spent on cancer. It is important to see dementia as a disease and one that we need to better understand so that we can tackle it.\" Mr Cameron told BBC Radio 4's You And Yours that more needs to be done to improve the lives of those with dementia. \"So much of this is about making sure hospitals and care homes treat people with dementia better and, absolutely crucially, that we build dementia-friendly communities where all of us try and understand better what it's like to live with dementia,\" he said. Cancer v dementia research UK government funded £52m of research into dementia in 2012/13 It has pledged to increase this to £66m by 2015 Around £600m is spent on cancer research each year For every one dementia scientist in the UK, at least six work in cancer Source: Alzheimer's Research UK Earlier, Alzheimer's Research UK announced a £100m research campaign and the Medical Research Council (MRC) said it was undertaking the world's biggest study into dementia, involving two million people. The new world dementia envoy, Dennis Gillings, who was appointed by David Cameron in February, warned that if global leaders do not incentivise businesses to invest in research, the ambition to find a cure by 2025 will not be met. Dr Gillings said: \"Dementia is a ticking bomb costing the global economy £350bn and yet progress with research is achingly slow. Research must become more attractive to pharmaceuticals so they will invest and innovate. \"Just as the world came together in the fight against HIV/Aids, we need to free up regulation so that we can test groundbreaking new drugs, and examine whether the period for market exclusivity could be extended. \"Without this radical change, we won't make progress in the fight against dementia.\" Labour care spokeswoman Liz Kendall said her party supported the government's commitments to research funding, but wanted Mr Cameron to do more to help people currently struggling with dementia. \"Hundreds of thousands of people with dementia and their families are struggling without the vital local care services they desperately need.

            "input": "By Alex TherrienHealth reporter, BBC News On Sunday some 40,000 people are expected to take part in the race in temperatures that are forecast to reach up to 23C (73F), which would break the previous record of 22.2C (72F) in 1996 and 2007. Organisers have contingency plans in place, including more water at drinks stations, more showers, and extra ice at first aid stations. But Greg Whyte, professor of sports science at Liverpool John Moores University, says he nevertheless expects \"carnage\" in terms of the number of people who become ill during the race. That is because not only is it due to be hot, but temperatures have risen very quickly, so runners will not have had time to adapt. \"Most of the runners will be completely un-acclimatised to the heat, so they're not in a good position to cope with it; it's very difficult to combat that,\" says Prof Whyte. That means it is very important for runners to adapt their strategy for the race. Reduce your pace Many marathon runners will have a time they hope to beat when they complete the 26.2 miles on Sunday. But experts say one of the most important measures people can take when running in the heat is to put such targets aside and make sure they run a slower marathon, starting from the beginning of the race. It is those who rigidly stick to their pre-race plans who will be at the greatest risk of harm. \"They've set their target for their race, particularly in terms of time, and they'll shoot for that time irrespective of what else is going on,\" says Prof Whyte. \"And that's where the mistakes will be made. \"What you'll see with the elites is you'll know they've adapted their race strategy because there won't be records broken if it's really hot,\" he adds. People can monitor their pace with a watch or even use wearable technology to check their heart rate and try to match it to levels reached during their longest runs in training. Stay hydrated In hot marathons, runners can lose up to four litres (seven pints) of fluid through sweating and exhalation, putting them at risk of dehydration, which is why it is important to drink enough water. Prof Whyte says it is important to do this \"little, often and early\" and not wait to become dehydrated. Dr Francois-Xavier Li, a lecturer in sports sciences at Birmingham University, says it is important to also consume carbohydrates with these liquids because they help your body to hydrate better. This can be done with sports drinks or by having small amounts of food with drinks, including energy gels. Some experts warn against taking on too much liquid, because in extreme cases it can lead to water intoxication, a potentially fatal condition. Prof Whyte said this was \"very uncommon\" and people were far more likely to end up dehydrated. Dousing your head and the back of the neck with water or by using the showers also helps to reduce body temperature. But it is important not to get too wet as this raises the risk of parts of the body becoming blistered or chafed, particularly the feet. Be prepared in advance While experts say pacing and hydration are the most important factors for running a marathon in the heat, there are other important preparations. Sun cream is important to help protect the skin from burning and becoming too hot, but it is important to get a cream that is water-resistant so that it does not drip into your eyes. Clothing can also make a difference, with light-coloured and loose-fitting clothes recommended, along with a hat for protecting runners from the sun - as long as the hat is not made from thick material. But what if you are one of those who are planning to run in a costume? The London Marathon organisers have warned people to \"think carefully whether that is still appropriate in the conditions\". But Prof Whyte thinks it would be wrong to discourage people from wearing such outfits - often for charity - and says these people just need to be extra careful to make the necessary adjustments. Listen to your body While steps can be taken to prevent harm, what should you do if you end up reaching \"the wall\" - that point where it feels too hard to carry on? If you find yourself feeling tired, you should slow your pace or even walk, experts say. But what are the signs that you might actually be in danger of becoming ill? Headaches, confusion, loss of muscular control, feeling cold or no longer sweating could be signs that you are in fact sick. If you feel any of these symptoms, you should slow down and make sure to drink. And if this does not make you feel better you should ask for help at one of the first aid stations, rather than wait by the side of the road where it may take longer for you to receive attention. So overall, how should you approach a marathon in the heat? Above all else, you should should try to have fun rather than focus on race goals. \"The vast majority of runners, they're not getting paid to do this, they're not going to get any prize money, they're not going to earn their fame and fortune out of the time they run,\" says Prof Whyte. \"What they should be doing is enjoying it, and really judging how they are responding as to whether they're enjoying it or not, and try to bring it down to that very basic level constantly. \"If you are a first timer, make sure you've always got a smile on your face,\" he adds.

Hywel Dda Health Board says £40m will be invested in new services. The leader of the Conservatives in the assembly said the cuts were the result of Labour cutting health budgets. The health board announced its proposals on Monday. Among the changes will be the development of cardiology services in Glangwili Hospital, and a paediatric high dependency unit will provide a \"comprehensive higher level sick children's service\". The board covers Ceredigion, Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire, and an orthopaedic \"centre of excellence\" is planned in the south of the area. \"Our vision is quite simple - to provide integrated health care with 80% of NHS services provided locally, through primary, community and social care teams working together,\" said a spokesperson. \"This will mean access to diagnostic tests, such as X-rays, blood tests and scans, and also a range of outpatient and specialist services that were previously only available in hospital.\" There are also proposals for new centres in Aberaeron, Carmarthen, Cross Hands, Crymych and Whitland. The board says mental health services will also be extended and expanded with a psychiatric initial assessment and intensive care unit in Carmarthen. It defended its plans to change the way the emergency department is run at Prince Philip hospital as it said that about 80% of attendances were categorised as minor injuries. Andrew RT Davies, the leader of the Conservatives in the Welsh assembly, said the changes would \"sadly see a 20% reduction in beds, the A&E unit closing at Prince Philip and three hospitals closing\". He blamed the changes on the Welsh government for a \"£534m cut in funding\" to the NHS. \"They have also failed to attract key medical staff. Both these situations can be reversed, but the Welsh government is not willing to do that.\" 'Long overdue' William Roberts, of the aBer action group, set up in response to Hywel Dda Health Board's plans for Aberystwyth's Bronglais Hospital, said services previously under threat would now remain at the hospital. \"We are pleased that services at Bronglais Hospital which were under threat some months ago, now appear to be secure, thanks to the people of mid Wales who went to Cardiff to protest - over 850 of them - and the hospital consultants who were prepared to write to the minister,\" said Mr Roberts. \"We are, however, sorry that this would appear to be at the cost of services at Llanelli. We do not think that this is a proper way to run a health service. \"The services threatened were general surgery, accident and emergency, trauma and orthopaedics, and chemotherapy, all of which will now be delivered at Bronglais Hospital.\" Mr Roberts added that Tregaron and Aberaeron hospitals should remain open. Health Minister Lesley Griffiths has said that change in the health service is necessary and \"long overdue\". Last month she survived a vote of no confidence after opposition parties accused government officials of trying to influence the contents of an independent report by a leading health academic.

Nelson was born in Oklahoma, in the US, and raised in Washington DC. He began puppeteering for Bil Baird, who produced and performed the puppetry sequence for The Lonely Goatherd in the film version of The Sound of Music. Nelson's first job with the Muppets was The Jimmy Dean Show in 1965 - replacing Frank Oz as Rowlf the Dog's right hand. He went on to work again with Henson on Sesame Street, going on to animate some of the long-running show's best-loved characters including Mr Snuffleupaguss.

He continued to voice the character from 1972 until his death, though he ceased operating the puppet in 2004. 'Extraordinary spirit' Nelson also performed many other characters on The Muppet Show, including Pigs in Space star Dr Julius Strangepork, the boomerang fish-throwing Lew Zealand, and Kermit the Frog's nephew Robin the Frog.

Their case had attracted attention, and popular support, as a farmer resorting to violence to protect land in Vietnam is rare. Farmers receive rights for a limited time, as land belongs to the state. His three relatives were sentenced to between two and five years in prison, while his wife and sister-in-law received light suspended sentences. The judge, Pham Duc Tuyen, said that the family's actions had \"[violated] the normal operations of the state agencies and [caused] bad impact on social order.\" Before the presiding judge delivered the verdicts, Doan Van Vuon pleaded that he acted out of desperation and that he did not intend to kill anybody: \"I was left with no option,\" he said. Mr Vuon's defence lawyer told reporters after the trial that he was \"not happy\". \"I had expected a better verdict,\" he said. The BBC's Nga Pham says that all the jail terms were more lenient than expected, leading some to speculate that the government is trying to avoid fuelling public discontent over its land policies. Contentious issue The district government gave Mr Vuon the land to farm for 14 years before it said it wanted it back as part of a future infrastructure project. The remaining part was to be rented at a higher cost. Mr Vuon protested against the decision, arguing that his family had spent years developing the land and had to pay back debts. The government moved to evict him after negotiations failed and this resulted in a stand-off. While land clearances happen frequently in Vietnam, they are rarely challenged. Land rights are a contentious issue in Vietnam, where the Communist government owns all land and usage rights are unclear. The Land Law, in effect since 1993, stipulates that households and individuals are entitled to land rights for a \"limited period\" of 20 years. After that, subject to availability and other factors, local governments will decide whether the land use can be extended.",

He had been abusive to his partner, Emma, injuring her a number of times. After his violence escalated, he moved out and Emma struggled to cope with their children. They were later removed from their care. Behaviour change Emma was offered courses to support her as she tried to move on from the abusive relationship and rebuild her self-esteem. However, Andrew was looking for something for himself. He wanted to stop abusing his partner and sought help. He found Phoenix Domestic Abuse Service, which offered a weekly programme to help men confront their actions and change their behaviour. Andrew remembers his first time at Phoenix, walking into a room full of \"big blokes, mean looking blokes\" and thinking \"Oh, what have I done?\" But after seven months on the course he has formed a bond with the group and says he is beginning to understand the effects of his behaviour. Every week he was challenged on his behaviour and had to confront his actions. The course uses role-play, problem-solving tasks, and challenging discussions to teach the men about the impact of their actions. \"I'm not proud of who I was then, but I am proud of who I am now,\" he says. Emma says she recognises the transformation in Andrew. \"He's different. We talk more, he listens,\" she says. They were separated for two years but are now together again and are working to get their children back. Lidia, who helped Andrew through the course, said it is important to intervene because \"if no one does any work with that person then they are likely to go on and find another victim. \"Their next relationship is likely to become abusive.\" Phoenix sees both sides of abusive relationships on a weekly basis, believing the abuser and the abused partner both need support - either together or apart - if they hope to break out of the violent cycle. 'Seriously bad violence' But not everyone has such positive experiences of domestic abuse courses. Sarah - not her real name - did not see any change in her partner when he was referred to a programme by her local authority. \"If anything it made him angrier,\" she says. The abuse continued, both throughout and after the course. \"[It was] seriously bad violence,\" she says. \"Strangling you, picking you up by your hair, throwing you across rooms, smashing your head into walls.\" She thinks the courses are not enough to make meaningful change and abusers will only reform with years of therapy. \"Their whole brain needs unpicking. It's got to be long-term mental health intervention, not a six-week course, because they are so manipulative they will pull the wool over people's eyes.\" She says she feels let down by the system. She has not been offered any significant support to protect her from her abusive partner, she says, adding that he knows where she lives and continues to harass her and her children. She doesn't feel the perpetrator programme held her abuser to account. It is estimated that every year more than 3,000 people in the UK attend such courses - and that number is growing each year. Cafcass, the Family Courts Support Service, made 800 referrals last year, four times as many as five years ago. The vast majority of those who attend are men. Cycle of violence Costs start at around £500, with that figure being picked up by either local authorities or individuals. Some courses target the perpetrator alone, while others run parallel courses for their partners. However, the debate rages as to which approach works best. Dr Gene Feder is conducting the first clinical trial of a perpetrator course. \"If you ignore perpetrators you're really ignoring the upstream origin of the problem,\" he says. \"If you just respond to survivors you're in some ways colluding in the repeated cycle of violence which goes on.\" Rachel Williams is a survivor of domestic abuse, she was with her husband for 18 years and the abuse she suffered escalated over time. When they separated he came to the salon where she worked with a sawn off shotgun and shot her in the leg at point blank range. Rachel is now an advocate for survivors and hears from lots of women seeking support. She has heard of abusers using the courses in court to claim they have changed, despite continuing to abuse and manipulate their partners and even blaming their partners for having to go on a course.

Demand for web designers and developers skyrocketed 15.5%, compared to June. \"We've seen two years of digital transformation happening in the space of two weeks,\" TechUK's deputy chief executive Antony Walker told the BBC. \"A lot of business leaders we've been talking to, and survey data, shows that digital will be more important to their business, as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.\" The industry group says that British firms, both large and small, are now realising that digital skills are crucial to all parts of the business - including setting up e-commerce websites to sell goods online, improving international marketing efforts and optimising production processes. The number of workers on UK company payrolls fell by 649,000 between March and June, while unemployment rose by 34,000 in April to reach 1.3 million, according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS). But according to the REC, in the week of 6-12 July, there were 106,000 new job adverts posted - 14,000 more postings than the week of 22-28 June. However, millions are still looking for work, and companies say they're being \"flooded\" with applications. Alison Walford, 57, a freelance digital and IT project manager, says she's had to completely transform her approach to finding work. Ms Walford caught the coronavirus in March and spent 14 days recovering from the disease at Swindon Great Western Hospital. Shortly after she returned home, she discovered that she had lost the majority of her paid work. \"I've been looking at job adverts, but I'm finding that for every job advertised, there are many more applicants than there otherwise would have been,\" she told BBC Radio 4's Today programme. \"I'm in my late 50s, and I wasn't really expecting to have to re-skill or develop new skills in order to make sure I can find enough work.\" Unfortunately, she is not earning enough to live on at the moment, and is having to draw on her pension to make ends meet. Difficulties filling new roles Roina Hadi, Head of Talent at health tech company iPLATO, said that people hunting for work are casting their net further than they would normally, in the hopes of finding employment. \"We are receiving a huge amount of applications when jobs are posted,\" she said. \"But unfortunately we are finding 60% [of applicants] are not suitable candidates and are seemingly applying for any role.\" She says the flood of applications has made it harder and more time consuming for already strained businesses to find appropriate candidates to fill new roles. The UK already has a serious skill shortage when it comes to IT - latest data from the Open University shows half of employers struggle to attract talent with the right IT skills. Large tech firms IBM and SAP previously predicted that by 2020, there would be one million unfilled jobs in the IT sector, because people aren't being trained with the skills to take on these jobs. The problem is such a big one that businesses themselves are now trying to narrow the skills gap, rather than relying on colleges and universities. \"Many companies are making online training courses available to people who are interested in working in these kinds of roles, to help them get to the point where they can be useful and employable,\" said Mr Walker. And in April, the Department for Education launched the online platform \"The Skills Toolkit\", offering people access to free, high-quality digital and numeracy courses to help build up their skills, progress in work and boost their job prospects. However, not enough people know that these free online courses are available, so TechUK is working with the government and various organisations including the Institute of Coding to see how best to inform the general public and give people the confidence to give digital skills training a try. \"It matters for the businesses...it matters for individuals who want good jobs and good prospects, and it matters for the economy as a whole, because this kind of digital investment and digital adoption by businesses is going to drive economic growth and recovery post coronavirus crisis,\" stressed Mr Walker. \"There's more to do to help raise awareness that digital skills are really valuable in the labour market. Better signposting is needed to help people know where to start.\"",

            "input": "The US has been infected by a \"political virus\" that compels some politicians to repeatedly attack China, Wang Yi told reporters on Sunday. He urged the US to \"stop wasting time and stop wasting precious lives\" in its response to the Covid-19 outbreak. Tensions between Washington and Beijing have escalated as the virus has spread. US President Donald Trump, who faces re-election this year and has been criticised for his handling of the pandemic, has blamed China for trying to cover up the outbreak. But on Sunday, Mr Wang repeated China's assertions that it had acted responsibly to safeguard global public health since the virus first emerged in December. What else did China say? Speaking at an annual news conference during China's parliamentary session, Mr Wang said that \"some political forces in the US are taking China-US relations hostage\". He did not specify what those forces were, but said they were trying to \"push our two countries to the brink of a new Cold War\". \"Aside from the devastation caused by the novel coronavirus, there is also a political virus spreading through the US,\" he continued. \"This political virus is the use of every opportunity to attack and smear China,\" he said. \"Some politicians completely disregard basic facts and have fabricated too many lies targeting China, and plotted too many conspiracies.\" But he called for co-operation between Washington and Beijing in tackling the outbreak. \"Both of us bear a major responsibility for world peace and development,\" he said. \"China and the United States stand to gain from co-operation, and lose from confrontation.\" What's the bigger picture here? President Trump and Beijing have traded repeated barbs in recent weeks, on issues from the World Health Organization (WHO) to potential lawsuits against China over its alleged cover-up of the outbreak. The two world powers have experienced longstanding friction over issues such as trade and human rights, but tensions have risen dramatically amid the pandemic. On Sunday, Mr Wang said the suggestion that US states could bring legal action against China was \"a daydream\" and lacked any precedent. He also defended the WHO and its head Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, who has been the target of recent US criticism. Last week, President Trump accused the WHO of being a \"puppet of China\" that had let Covid-19 spin \"out of control\" at the cost of \"many lives\". He then shared a letter he had sent to Dr Tedros, which outlined specific issues the US had regarding the WHO's Covid-19 response. Dr Tedros has agreed to a review over the agency's handling of the pandemic. But Mr Wang told reporters on Sunday that China fully backed the organisation. \"To support the WHO is to support saving lives. This is the choice any country with a conscience should make,\" he said. He did not say whether international scientists would be permitted to enter China to investigate the outbreak. The WHO has called on Beijing to allow it access to investigate the source. What are the accusations against China? The coronavirus outbreak first emerged in the Chinese city of Wuhan late last year and was widely reported to have originated in a food market. Since then, however, some senior US politicians have suggested that the source was a research facility in Wuhan that had been carrying out research on bat coronaviruses. China has dismissed the idea. Mr Pompeo said earlier this month that there was \"a significant amount of evidence\" that the virus came from a laboratory in Wuhan. He later appeared to step back, saying \"we know it began in Wuhan, but we don't know from where or from whom\". And on Saturday, the director of the Wuhan Institute of Virology told state media that claims that the virus could have leaked from the facility were \"pure fabrication\". Wang Yanyi said the centre had \"isolated and obtained some coronaviruses from bats\" but stressed that these were sufficiently different to Covid-19. Last month, senior Chinese diplomat Chen Wen told the BBC that demands for an investigation into the source of the outbreak were politically motivated and that such a move would only divert attention and resources away from fighting the virus.",

            "input": "By Jon KellyBBC News Magazine Here's how it goes. The kitchen needs replacing, or the boiler has expired. But money is tight, so you strike a deal with the contractors who pop round to give you a quote. You settle up with a wad of banknotes and get a discount. They slip the cash into their back pockets, out of sight of the taxman. Treasury Minister David Gauke has declared that the practice is \"morally wrong\". He told the Daily Telegraph that off-the-books arrangements like this meant a shortfall for the Treasury and higher tax bills for other Britons. The black economy is thought to cost the exchequer some £2bn a year. In an era of fiscal austerity, with greater attention than ever on the tax arrangements of celebrities like Jimmy Carr it is hardly surprising that the debate has widened. This, however, raises two immediate dilemmas. Firstly, is tax evasion always equally wrong regardless of the scale involved? And secondly, does the customer who doesn't ask questions about why he or she is getting a cash discount share moral culpability with the trader who cheats the tax system? In effect, it's a matter of philosophical contention whether all evasion and avoidance is always bad, or if handing over cash and not asking too many questions is the consumer equivalent of parking on a double-yellow line. A utilitarian might weigh up the evasion according to scale and how it affects the greater good. Others, however, might look to the German philosopher Immanuel Kant's \"categorical imperative\", which implies that any rule or code must be universally applied if it is to have any moral value. For Julian Baggini, author of several books on philosophy, breaking the law by knowingly evading tax is always immoral. But this is not to say, he believes, that it is always equally so. \"It's wrong because as a citizen in a democratic society you agree to abide by the same laws,\" he says. \"If you don't like them then you work to change them through the democratic process. \"But there are degrees of wrongness and compared to the global scale of tax avoidance this is minor. It's important when you raise something as being wrong to maintain that sense of perspective.\" Certainly, on blogs, message boards and social networking sites, some questioned why the minister was focusing on the topic at a time when millions of Britons were struggling to make ends meet - and in the week when a report by the Tax Justice Network suggested the global elite hid at least £13tn ($21tn) in tax havens by the end of 2010. Some will protest that it is not for a householder, say, to demand to scrutinise their cleaner's annual tax returns. Julian Savulescu, Uehiro Professor of Practical Ethics at the University of Oxford, says that ultimately, the moral obligation for settling a VAT bill lies with the trader and not the consumer so long as the task is the former's legal responsibility. \"It is morally wrong not to pay tax one is obliged to pay - it is another thing to constrain freedom of transaction,\" he says. \"People should be free to ask to pay in cash, or bank transfer or by any method. Those personally concerned to prevent tax evasion could ask to pay in non-cash methods - and those methods should be accepted.\" For Baggini, however, that argument is not good enough. Not asking questions, he believes, is as much of a conscious act of omission as failing to settle up with HMRC. \"There is such a thing as culpable ignorance,\" he counters. \"If you choose not to know you are blameworthy of that ignorance.\" The minister said there was nothing wrong with paying in cash, but doing so with the purpose of avoiding tax was wrong. Inevitably, attention quickly turned to the question of whether the minister had always applied his own categorical imperative. He insisted that he had \"never said to a tradesman, 'If I pay you cash, can I get a discount?'\" The sentiment was not universal, however. Asked subsequently if he ever had paid in cash to keep costs down, London Mayor Boris Johnson said: \"I've certainly paid a lot of cash in hand.\" The debate will continue unabated. So too, no doubt, will the practice of settling up with the kitchen fitter or plumber in £20 notes.",

But in practice it was difficult to get it in place. It comes as charity Marie Curie predicts a 42% increase in demand for end-of-life care by 2040. The Welsh Government said it had extended funding to support the end-of-life care delivery plan to March 2022 and allocated £9.3m in emergency funding, as well as issuing advice and resources. Ms Bethell, from Swansea, said: \"I'm of an age where my parents and in-laws had reached the end of their lives with various conditions, three of them had dementia by the time they died.\" As an academic at the time, she said it was \"frustrating\" writing papers about issues around health policy which may be read by a handful of people, but not seeing them being implemented. \"I knew the theory of what should happen ideally, and I expected that kind of support, but in practice it was much more difficult,\" she said. Ms Bethell's mother and mother-in-law were in care homes, and had expressed a wish not to go to hospital - which was supported by the care homes. But the homes struggled to access what they needed to respect these wishes. \"Both care homes were willing to support them to stay, but they were really struggling for advice and support for symptom relief and even to get expert advice about how to manage end of life for people who were frail and deteriorating over a period of time,\" Ms Bethell said. While she stressed there were some \"brilliant\" primary care services available, she ended up going through the protracted process of making a complaint - but said this was a path many families cannot face. \"That complaint took ages and ages and was difficult to resolve. \"I spoke to others and was struck by how common the issue of not getting symptom relief was at the time, and how reluctant people were to complain. \"They're not people who feel comfortable complaining, and naturally people want to forget or put it behind them, and because making a complaint is protracted, it keeps dragging you back and in that way the concerns never get brought to the attention of people who might be able to do something about them.\" Ms Bethell went through this process seven years ago, and her case ended up being brought to the attention of the health minister at the time, Mark Drakeford, who put her in touch with the End of Life Care Implementation Board. She was then asked to sit on the board, and has been a member for five years now, as well as being chair of Compassionate Cymru. \"I've been able to raise concerns, it's nothing like as effective as I'd like but it's over a period of time that people get used to me being there and the relationship builds - it's a process that's happening over time. \"There's already much more acknowledgment of the importance of these issues.\" 'A stressful and dehumanising experience' Ms Bethell felt she was now bridging the gap more between research going into end-of-life care and the practices being adopted, with a new national bereavement framework being worked on \"informed by research\". \"In my role and in my own life experience I am well aware of the awful consequences when services and support fail,\" she said. Ceridwen Hughes, from Mold, whose mother chose to spend her last few weeks at home, said: \"To navigate end-of life-care for a loved one can be a stressful and dehumanising experience, if co-ordinated care is not in place.\" Marie Curie provides care and support to thousands of people living with a terminal illness and their loved ones, in its Cardiff and the Vale Hospice in Penarth and in their own homes across Wales. But with services already stretched, it predicts a steep rise in people needing to access end-of-life care in England and Wales, from 375,398 to 469,305 people per year. It said this was as a result of a predicted rise in the number of deaths, along with increases in the numbers of people suffering with illnesses such as dementia and cancer. That is why the charity is calling on political parties to include plans for an end-of-life care strategy in Senedd election manifestos. BBC News approached each political party, and Plaid Cymru, the Liberal Democrats, UKIP and the Independent Alliance for Reform Group confirmed they would include a strategy as a manifesto commitment. Welsh Labour pointed to the end-of-life delivery plan it has been implementing in government, but said its manifesto for the election is not yet finalised. The Welsh Conservatives said their manifesto too is still in development, but confirmed palliative care was a priority for the party. The Abolish the Welsh Assembly party said it would not be included in the manifesto, due to it being a one-policy party. Sian Tucker, acting clinical nurse manager for the charity's hospice at home service, said: \"Every patient... during the first wave and now during this second wave, have been really poorly and deteriorated really quickly. \"Everyone involved is doing the best they can, it's just difficult with current manpower in all the health services, people are shielding, or they're in self-isolation, and that makes it even more difficult when services are stretched. \"Covid has had a huge impact.\" Lowri Griffiths from the charity added: \"Dying, death and bereavement are unavoidable and an inevitability that every individual will face as part of the cycle of life. \"Coronavirus has both highlighted and exacerbated many challenges faced by those who use palliative care services, and those working within the field. \"Never has it been more important to have a well-resourced health and social care service, with a workforce that feels supported and equipped to deliver accessible and value-based end-of-life care.\" A Welsh Government spokeswoman said: \"Hospices in Wales provide incredibly important services and we recognise the enormous contribution that they make to end of life care and the support they provide to patients, families and carers.\" Related Internet Links Marie Curie Compassionate Communities UK",

            "input": "By Mark WardTechnology correspondent, BBC News The firewalls, anti-virus software, mail-filters and other digital defences used across the business world are generally looking for external threats. But what if the bad guys are on the inside? What if your own employees are seeking to defraud your company by diverting cash, copying the customer database, or stealing sales leads? More than half of all people seeking to defraud a company are inside the fortress, suggest figures from consultancy PWC's Global Crime Report. That figure has risen steadily over the past few years, the firm says, adding that it now seems to be younger staff who are spearheading the trend. The same survey also saw a change in the nature of fraud. Now, criminals are as likely to indulge in procurement fraud - making false company purchases, for example - as they are to steal cash or data. Fined billions \"Internal fraud is a huge area,\" says Laura Hutton of big data specialist SAS, \"and it's one that's getting increased focus.\" This is perhaps because scandals such as the Libor rate fixing have been exposed in recent years. Banks have been fined billions for their part in fixing rates that underpin trillions of pounds worth of loans and other financial contracts. Part of the reason internal fraud can be hard to spot is because it tends to be more complex than external threats, said Ms Hutton. By definition, the ones committing the crimes on the inside know the systems and know how to exploit the weaknesses. The reasons behind an attempt to steal cash or do some rogue trading can also be complex, she says. \"Unauthorised trading sometimes starts because the traders make a mistake that they then try to fix,\" she says. If the fix fails, there's an even bigger hole in the accounts that needs filling. Long-established British bank Barings was brought to bankruptcy in 1995 partly through this kind of fraud. By the end of the saga, trading losses at Barings had ballooned from about £2m to £827m. Complex networks The Barings debacle unfolded over a three-year period and often it can take a long time for firms to spot when money or other assets are going missing, says John Yeo from security firm Trustwave. Part of the reason that fraudsters get away with it for so long is because of the astonishing complexity of the computer networks large banks and other finance houses run these days. \"I do not know of any company that has an accurate asset register of their network,\" says Mr Yeo. \"And they certainly don't have one from a web services or applications perspective, which is a problem an order of magnitude harder to solve.\" What that means, he says, is that a lot of activity on a company's network could be going unwatched, opening up an opportunity for anyone keen to pilfer or secrete cash in hidden accounts. The lack of insight into how many devices are connected to a large corporate network can be staggering, says Dave Palmer, director of technology at networks analysis company Dark Trace. It uses sophisticated mathematical techniques to find and map data flows between the PCs, laptops, servers, tablets, smartphones and software on a network. Invariably, he says, the people who run the networks always underestimate how many gadgets are connected. \"One of our first customers thought they had about 5,000 devices on their network because it operated a very strict no Bring-Your-Own-Device policy,\" says Mr Palmer. \"Yet we found 25,000 devices in the first few days of our analysis.\" 'Formidable job' That five-fold discrepancy between expected and actual devices is pretty typical, says Mr Palmer, underscoring the lack of control many organisations have over the data swilling around their networks. Mapping connections between individuals, devices and applications is a formidable job that makes spotting anomalies and fraud all the trickier, he says. That's not to say the big banks and trading houses are not trying. Robert Simpson, from data analysis firm Verint, believes financial institutions have tended to throw people at the problem, hence the rise of \"compliance officers\" tasked with overseeing the deals made by brokers on the trading floors. Some now employ thousands of compliance officers to keep traders, brokers and dealers honest. These people have the unenviable task of going through the records, usually tape recordings, of the deals being made to spot errors or fraud. \"But they've reached a point where they realise that have hit diminishing returns on hiring people,\" he says, \"so they need to look at how to make these people more effective at what they do. \"There's a mountain of data to go through and that mountain just keeps on getting larger.\" 'Intelligent fraudsters' They need to do a better job, says Mr Simpson, because deterrence works best when data capture is married with monitoring. That was shown clearly by analysis of the message logs sent by people involved in the Libor fixing scandal, who got more confident the longer they got away with it, says Mr Simpson. There's no doubt that spotting this kind of fraud is hard, so financial firms are increasingly turning to big data tools that excel at handling unstructured data, such as the text inside emails, to tackle it. \"It's certainly not an easy problem to solve because you are dealing with very intelligent fraudsters,\" says SAS's Ms Hutton, adding that failing to spot fraud can have a bigger long-term impact on a company's reputation than on its profits. In some cases of insider fraud, the amounts of money being stolen are small when compared to the assets most banks have on hand. But, she points out, to a customer the £50,000 going astray might represent life savings they wanted to leave to their grandchildren. \"You don't want cases like that to happen at all.\"",

The researchers said swapping bricks and mortar for canvas was not a long-term solution. But exposing ourselves to more bright light in the day (and less at night) could help. Our body has a daily \"circadian\" rhythm that anticipates day and night to co-ordinate how our body works. It alters alertness, mood, physical strength, when we need to sleep and even the risk of a heart attack as part of a 24-hour cycle. Body Clock: What is happening in your body right now? 'Arrogance' of ignoring need for sleep Light helps the clock keep time, but modern life with artificial light, alarm clocks and smartphones has altered our sleeping habits. The report is published in Current Biology and Dr Kenneth Wright, from the University of Colorado Boulder, told the BBC: \"We're waking up at a time when our circadian clock says we should still be asleep.\" He says this is damaging to health with studies suggesting links with mood disorders, type 2 diabetes and obesity. And it also simply makes us really groggy and sleepy when we try to get up in the morning. Reset button So Dr Wright organised a series of camping expeditions for a small group of volunteers. They had to wear special watches that recorded light levels and had blood tests to analyse the sleep hormone melatonin. And the only artificial light they were allowed was the glow of a campfire, even a torch was banned. The first thing they learned on a week-long camping trip in winter was people were exposed to 13 times more light than at home, even though it was the darkest part of the year. Their melatonin levels also started to rise two-and-a-half hours earlier than before the expedition and they went to bed earlier too. The campers were now sleeping and waking in tune with their body clocks. Another camping trip showed most of that benefit could be gained by just going away for a weekend. Dr Wright said: \"We're not saying camping is the answer here, but we can introduce more natural light to modern life. \"It is something we as a society can regulate without people having to change behaviours.\" He thinks homes, offices and schools could be designed to allow in more natural light. And the new generation of \"tuneable\" light bulbs - that can be made far brighter in the day and dimmer at night - could also be used. However, at the moment, people's body clocks would start to shift back to their old rhythm once the tent was packed up. In order to continue to benefit from the camping reset, people would need to get a large hit of light in the day - for example by going out for a walk before work - and cut down in the evening by using less artificial light. And if you want to watch your favourite TV show \"record it\", says Dr Wright. Winter differences The researchers also picked up clues that our body clocks alter during the year and that may affect how our body functions. In a week of summer camping, melatonin production was altered by two hours, in winter it was altered by 2.6 hours. It is a suggestion there is something different about the way our bodies react to the longer or shorter day. And we already know that some people suffer from low mood with seasonal affective disorders. Dr Wright added: \"We have a hint there's something there and maybe at one point it time it was critical and now, in a modern environment, maybe we don't need to worry about putting on more weight in winter, but the impacts may still be hardwired in our physiology.\" Follow James on Twitter.",

Instead, flights and hotels are being cancelled as people face travel restrictions or choose to stay home. The virus has already taken 25 lives, with more than 800 cases globally. Many airlines have agreed to refund fares or let passengers rebook free of charge if affected, while major hotel chains are now following suit as more travel restrictions are announced. After the Civil Aviation Administration of China announced that airlines should give refunds for cancelled flights, the country's three major airlines, China Southern Airlines, China Eastern Airlines and China Air all saw their share prices take a dive. China Eastern Airlines has seen its value fall about 13% this week. Hong Kong's national carrier Cathay Pacific was among the first airlines to allow passengers scheduled to fly to or from Wuhan to reschedule for free while, at the same time, allowing cabin crew to wear surgical masks on flights. Wuhan is where the first cases in the outbreak were reported. The flu-like virus has since spread to several our parts of China and internationally with cases being confirmed in Singapore, Thailand and the US among others countries. China's biggest online travel agency, Trip.com, is also waiving cancellation fees on all hotels, car rentals and tickets for tourist attractions to Wuhan and is ''actively monitoring the situation to ensure the safety of all travellers''. Hotels and casinos hit Hotel groups are also paying out refunds to tourists who want to cancel trips to Wuhan and other parts of China. Both InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) and Hyatt will allow guests to change or cancel stays at the majority of their Chinese hotels over the Lunar New Year holiday. IHG has 443 hotels in China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan under different brands, with four in Wuhan. Casino operators have also seen shares fall, particularly those with businesses in Macau. The city is home to casinos owned by Las Vegas Sands and Wynn Resorts. The release of seven movies over the Lunar New Year has also been postponed.

The issue first surfaced in a briefing note for a visit by an NIO minister to Down District Council in November 1983. In a note to officials, Miss A E V Kingsmill warned that \"the question of radioactive pollution from Windscale and the associated cancer scare has raised a great deal of concern in certain coastal areas of the district, for example at Kilclief (County Down).\" At the same time, the Northern Ireland Assembly, set up by Northern Ireland Secretary Jim Prior to advance devolution, had discussed the issue of nuclear waste being dumped into the Irish Sea from Windscale. It had called upon the government to carry out an urgent survey into the levels of radioactivity on the coastline. In response to these concerns, officials prepared a briefing note for NIO minister Adam Butler that sought to reassure the public. It was dated 6 December 1983 and emphasised that regular monitoring of the coastline, as well as of seaweed and fish, had been carried out since 1977, following the Windscale Inquiry of that year. These surveys showed that the radioactivity of the seaweed samples generally fell within a typical West Europe background level. It went on: \"The fish samples are taken from catches landed at Ardglass and Portavogie. The activity of the samples can be above normal background levels depending on the season and the area of the catch.\" However, even these enhanced levels were well within the limits recommended by the International Commission on Radiological Protection. The files show that in the Republic of Ireland, samples of seaweed were collected at Carlingford, Skerries, Dunmore and Rosslare and sent to the United Kingdom's Fisheries Research Laboratory for analysis. The files said: \"The concentrations reported to date (in the south) are considered to be of no radiological significance.\" The NIO's interest in Sellafield coincided with a Yorkshire Television programme in November 1983 about a possible increase in the incidence of cancer in the communities surrounding the reprocessing plant. In response to the impact of this programme in Northern Ireland, a memo in the file, dated 5 December 1982, revealed that solid radioactive waste had been buried at two local authority disposal sites during the period 1977-1982. These were at Duncrue Street in north Belfast and at Culmore Point, outside Derry. At Duncrue Street, the memo noted \"a number of controlled burials of hospital/university waste of short half-life, together with small amounts of industrial waste were arranged.\" The total activity disposed of was approximately 180 millicuries, of which the bulk comprised radioactive iodine with a half-life of less than two months. At Culmore Point, two consignments of hospital waste had been disposed of by controlled burial; the total activity amounted to 170 microcuries. The file noted that a number of hospitals, fertiliser plants and both of Northern Ireland universities had been authorised to dispose of radioactive waste by controlled burials at these sites.",

The Welsh Government said it had given extra money but the Welsh Local Government Association said long-term funding was needed. Quarter of members lost Not-for-profit Better Cardiff has recently reopened six of its eight leisure centres. Head of service Rhys Jones, said he hoped it would manage the next 12 months, but there were no guarantees after the trust lost a quarter of its members during lockdown. \"When the government instructed us to close on 20 March we lost all our income overnight, so more than £2.5m of income,\" he said. He urged the Welsh Government to provide financial support for the sector, adding any inaction was \"threatening people's health and physical and mental well-being\". \"We are part of the answer to this virus, this is a public health crisis, everyone knows being physically active boosts your immune system and is a good defence against the virus,\" he said. Mr Jones added he recognised the need to be safe but the policy of only allowing 30 people in one room regardless of its size was \"holding things back a little bit\". Community Leisure UK said its latest research showed 44% of trusts in Wales would be \"non-viable or insecure\" by the end of this financial year with \"15 facilities across leisure and culture are at risk of permanent closure\". The body said there was a \"critical need for ring-fenced government financial support\" and it had been difficult for trusts to access other UK government help such as loan schemes or grant funding. 'We can't all afford expensive gyms' Alyson Smith, from Cardiff, described her local leisure centre as \"her rock\" in the last two years after her partner died suddenly. The fitness enthusiast said she was worried about funding and wants to see investment in a healthy population. She helped to create a \"Stay Strong\" programme alongside staff at Eastern Leisure Centre in Llanrumney. The course offers fitness classes and workshops or relaxation techniques to help people deal with issues like anxiety. With the programme paused under lockdown, she said the last few months had been \"awful\". \"I became quite depressed towards the end of lockdown because at one point I had not seen another human being for three months\". \"We can't all afford to go to expensive gyms or spend thousands of pounds on home exercise equipment. \"This offers something at the centre of community that's reasonably priced and it's a fantastic resource,\" she added. Huw Thomas, Welsh Local Government Association spokesman for tourism and leisure, said long-term funding was needed. Leisure centres, whether run by councils or trusts, had taken a financial hit during the pandemic, and \"as they start to reopen you know they're not going to be able to reopen to the same level of numbers as existed previously\", he said. A Welsh Government spokesman said it provided support to the sector through its economic resilience fund and through Sport Wales. He said it had recently announced a further £260m for councils, \"bringing the total amount of support to half a billion pounds\", to help with additional pandemic costs, which could be used to support leisure facilities.",

            "input": "Katty KayPresenter, BBC World News@KattyKayBBCon Twitter Take the news in Alabama this week - it's a textbook case. An older guy in a powerful position is accused by women of molesting them when they were teenagers. One of the women says she was only 14. Roy Moore is now 70 years old and running to be the next US senator for the state of Alabama. Some polls suggest he could win. There is also a report in the New Yorker magazine that Mr Moore was banned from visiting a local shopping mall because of his tendency to badger teenage girls there. It takes quite a bit to be banned from a shopping mall. There have now been a slew of these types of stories. I sincerely hope they do change our culture, especially for all the women who work in industries where the men aren't famous and so are less likely to be outed, and for the women who are so financially dependent on their jobs that they can't afford to turn down their lecherous bosses. But the story of Judge Roy Moore in Alabama has revealed something else that has nothing to do with sex and harassment. It's a story of tribalism. Over the past few days Mr Moore has been widely condemned by many top Republican politicians in Washington who say he should drop out of the Senate race. They say they believe the accusers' stories over Mr Moore's denials. But the reaction in Alabama itself has been quite different. There, several state Republican officials and local Republican party committees have come to Judge Moore's defence. Ed Henry, a Republican state representative, suggested it's the women who accused Mr Moore who should be prosecuted, for not coming forward with their stories sooner and so allowing an accused predator to roam free. Seriously. And Jerry Pow, the Republican chairman of Bibb County, Alabama, told a reporter he'd vote for Roy Moore even if the allegations are true, and he did commit a sex crime against a teenager. Take a breath and let that sink in for a moment - it's 2017 and an Alabama Republican official says he'd vote for a paedophile. What's so revealing in the context of tribalism is Mr Pow's reasoning. He'd vote for Moore, he says, because he can't bring himself to vote for the Democrat in the race. Jerry Pow believes any Democrat is de facto worse than any Republican - even if that Republican molested girls and then lied about it. This is a whole step beyond the realm of fake news. This is taking facts, chucking them out with the trash and quite happily forming your own opinions based on nothing more flimsy than pure prejudice. To the extent that tribalism comes from the top, it's worth noting President Trump has been conspicuously quiet on the subject of Republican Roy Moore, but tweeted scathing comments about Democrat Al Franken. The Republican Governor of Alabama has added her voice to those saying she believes the women but will vote for Mr Moore nonetheless, to get another Republican in the Senate. And here's the kicker. According to researchers, we are all prone to doing just that. You, me, our friends, our kids, our news editors, and yes, the good people of Alabama. Political scientists have known this about us for years. In 2010, a landmark study by two psychologists showed that facts fail to sway our opinions. Indeed, Brendan Nyhan and Jason Reifler argued that fact-checking can actually make us more entrenched in our political biases. When someone presents us with evidence contrary to our beliefs, we feel under siege and dig in our heels. That is what seems to be happening this week in Alabama. In the context of Donald Trump, political scientists have recently discovered that voters aren't stupid - they are actually quite capable of recognising that a politician is lying. But it doesn't change the way they feel about him. This is getting more extreme because politics has become not just polarised but tribal. We hunker down in groups of like-minded people and then we fight to protect that group. As the political atmosphere grows more toxic, fuelled by social media that has made the debate more personal and vicious, we feel we have to fight even harder to protect our crowd. That means relentlessly attacking the opposing camp and refusing to budge from our opinions in the face of inconvenient truths, like the possibility that someone we support is actually a child molester. I want to think Jerry Pow, the Alabama state representative, was being disingenuous and that he doesn't really believe a Republican paedophile is better than any Democrat. I want to think that because the alternative is just too alarming, for all of us, whatever our beliefs.",

Animal charity Snarl, which is investigating hundreds of violent UK cat and rabbit deaths, said it thought the pet fell victim to the same killer. Hertfordshire Police said officers were examining whether the death was linked to the wider inquiry. The rabbit's owner, who wanted to remain anonymous, said it was \"beyond comprehension\" that \"someone, somehow, climbed into our high-walled garden, killed and mutilated him and left him next to my daughter's little pink Wendy house for us to find\". The cat killer stalking suburbia The lionhead rabbit, whose body was found on Tuesday, was \"one of a kind, truly special\", she added. Charity Snarl (South Norwood Animal Rescue and Liberty) said it was \"currently investigating what seems to be a spate of attacks across the south east on cats and rabbits\". Last week, the Hertfordshire force confirmed officers were linking the death of a cat in Potter's Bar to the \"Croydon cat killer\". Taz's injuries were consistent with those of other mutilated cats and small animals found across the UK, leading the force to believe the deaths are linked. The Met Police began investigating a series of \"gruesome\" killings which initially began in the Croydon area in 2015, after Snarl raised concerns. The suspect became known as the \"Croydon cat killer\". Tony Jenkins, head of Snarl, said about 250 cats and a number of foxes and rabbits had been killed in similar circumstances since October 2015. He believes the same person - referred to by the charity as the \"UK animal killer\" - is responsible for all the deaths. \"We see no evidence there's anyone else involved as the injuries are being replicated,\" he said. \"It is possible - both geographically and because of the timings - for one person to be doing this. \"This person is a very clever psychopath, he is forensically aware, avoids CCTV and might well travel as part of his job. \"It is most likely Teddy was killed by this same person.\" The Met launched Operation Takahe to investigate the links between animal deaths and last month experts at a new forensic lab in Surrey began re-examining some of the corpses for new evidence.",

Robert Buckland told the Commons Justice Committee there were \"serious issues\" at the Northamptonshire jail. Its operator MTC apologised to MPs. 'Not an excuse' In December, Ofsted, the HM Inspectorate of Prisons and the Care Quality Commission (CQC) issued an \"urgent notification\" - the first time they used their legal power to order the justice secretary to come back with an action plan to improve conditions. During a visit in October, inspectors found that 15-year-olds arriving at the centre were being locked up for a fortnight of coronavirus quarantine - and only being allowed out for half an hour a day. The watchdogs then went back into the centre in December and found little had changed, despite their highly critical report. Mr Buckland told the committee although an outbreak at the site had \"complicated matters\", Covid-19 \"was not an excuse\". He said the purpose of public health measures put in place had been \"misunderstood\", which \"led to the lock-up and we all agree that was unacceptable\". \"It was absolutely the right measure to take in terms of public health but I think a misuse of those procedures led to the serious issues that we are dealing with today,\" he added. The minister also pledged to \"get to the bottom\" of issues at the jail near Northamptonshire's border with Warwickshire. MTC's managing director Ian Mulholland, who took over the role in January and was not in charge at the time of the inspections, expressed \"deep regret\" for the \"very obvious failings\". He told the committee he would be focusing on addressing problems, particularly \"longstanding culture issues\", adding there already had been some improvements at the centre. Mr Mulholland said: \"We got it wrong, I'm not going to attempt to defend how we got it wrong. \"I am hoping that I can give you some assurance about the things that we will do to make it better going forward.\" The Ministry of Justice said no similar problems had been seen at any other youth jails.

The lawsuit against Mr Trump and other White House officials stems from his decision to bar several online critics. The White House has yet to comment on the judge's ruling. The case was brought by The Knight First Amendment Institute at Columbia University on behalf of seven Twitter users who had been blocked by Mr Trump for criticising him or mocking him online. On Wednesday the judge agreed with their argument that the social media platform qualifies as a \"designated public forum\" granted to all US citizens. \"This case requires us to consider whether a public official may, consistent with the First Amendment, 'block' a person from his Twitter account in response to the political views that person has expressed, and whether the analysis differs because that public official is the President of the United States,\" the judge said in her opinion. \"The answer to both questions is no.\" The judge rejected argument by Mr Trump's lawyers that the \"First Amendment does not apply in this case and that the President's personal First Amendment interests supersede those of plaintiffs\". Mr Trump has over 52 million followers on Twitter, his preferred social media platform which he joined in March 2009. He often eschews the official US presidential Twitter account, @POTUS, as well as his own White House press office, to make official announcements. One of the people that Mr Trump blocked, Holly O'Reilly, who uses the account @AynRandPaulRyan, was blocked last May after posting a GIF of Mr Trump meeting with Pope Francis. The photo, which some said showed the Pope glaring at Mr Trump, was captioned: \"This is pretty much how the whole world sees you.\" Shortly after being blocked, she told Time Magazine that \"it's like FDR took my radio away\", referring to Franklin Delano Roosevelt - the World War Two-era president who spoke directly to Americans with his so-called fireside chats. Earlier in the trial, Judge Buchwald suggested the president, who was not in court, could simply mute the accounts he does not want to see. People on Twitter are unable to see or respond to tweets from accounts that block them. But if Mr Trump muted an account, he would not see that user's tweets but the user could still see and respond to his. It's unclear if Mr Trump will now unblock his critics, but the judge hinted the president could face legal action if he did not comply with the ruling. She wrote that \"because all government officials are presumed to follow the law once the judiciary has said what the law is, we must assume that the President [and his social media director] will remedy the blocking we have held to be unconstitutional\". Trump's safe space Analysis by Dave Lee, BBC North America technology reporter, San Francisco When it comes to Twitter, the First Amendment grants the American people the right to speak about the President - but it doesn't force him to listen. While the court has ruled the blocking is unconstitutional, it said the ability to mute a person was not - and so the safe space nurtured by the president and his social media team will remain mostly intact. As I type this, he follows just 46 people, mostly family and Fox News presenters. For many of those he blocked, it's become a badge of honour - a #blockedbytrump topic sprung up as a way of celebrating being shut out by The Donald. But Trump's tweets are a major means by which the president communicates with his people. However history looks back at what is happening within his administration today, tweets will form a crucial part of that record. And while some have argued that anyone blocked by Trump can see his tweets by just logging out, that doesn't necessarily give the whole picture. One tweet sent on Wednesday does not appear in the feed for logged-out users, for example, as it is a \"reply\". Blocking also prevents people from replying to or quoting what was said. The bigger impact here, however, is that this ruling applies to all public officials in the US. And so it won't just be Mr Trump thumbing through and unblocking those who he deems unsavoury.",

The idea first came up under the last Labour government, when it was quashed by Conservative and Liberal Democrat opposition. Then it was resurrected by the Coalition, with Theresa May's plans - immediately dubbed the Snooper's Charter - blocked by her Liberal Democrat partners. Now we have in the Queen's Speech what looks like a much wider proposal for a new Investigatory Powers Bill. The government says this will \"provide the police and intelligence agencies with the tools to keep you and your family safe\", will \"maintain the ability of our intelligence agencies to target the online communications of terrorists\", and will \"cover all investigatory powers including communications data, where the government has long maintained that the gap in capabilities are putting lives at risk\". So it is both sweeping and vague, promising to give the authorities the tools they need to track criminals in a complex online world without specifying as yet how far they will be allowed to go. The Open Rights Group (ORG), which campaigns against increased surveillance, is convinced this is the return of the so-called Snooper's Charter, with increased powers of data collection and retention aimed at the entire population, coupled with attacks on encryption. The ORG's executive director Jim Killock thinks the bill will have two aims - codifying existing practices by the intelligence agencies uncovered by Edward Snowden and expanding data retention by ISPs. But he believes that the increasing use of encryption by the likes of Google and Facebook means that ordering ISPs to store their customers' data won't be enough: \"There's going to be a very interesting discussion about whether government can break encryption or order companies to break it.\" Those at the sharp end - the ISPs - are more circumspect in their response to the government's plans. Their trade body ISPA put out a statement welcoming the fact that the government had promised to factor in the independent Anderson review of the laws on intercepting communications data. But it warned of the need to \"properly balance security, privacy, costs to industry and to preserve the UK's reputation as a leading place to do business online\". The ISPs also suspect that plans to attack encryption could be on the agenda. The government has a clear election mandate, and is under pressure from the police and intelligence agencies to give them more capabilities in their online battles. But the opposition to its plans - if they do involve cracking the codes that keep online communication secret - will be intense. And it is likely to come not so much from opposition politicians, but from the global technology giants.",

The Museum of English Rural Life has also tried to move with the times, featuring in its collection more contemporary objects related to rural life such as a Laura Ashley dress, a Greenham Common poster and a badge from the Woodland Folk.

National mental health charity SAMH described the figures as \"devastating\". Mental Health Minister Clare Haughey said the increase was \"concerning\" - but was in contrast to a fall in the suicide rate over the previous decade. The new ISD figures highlight that the rate of suicide is three times higher in the most deprived areas of Scotland. They also show that men are markedly more likely to take their own lives than women. Underlying reasons Scotland has had a higher recorded suicide rate than the UK as a whole since the early 1990s, although the ISD said this may be due to the variation in recording practice. Ms Haughey added: \"We want to create a Scotland where suicide is preventable and where anyone contemplating suicide gets the support they need. \"Scotland is not alone in tackling suicide prevention and we will undertake more research to establish the underlying reasons for the increase in 2018.\" She said the government was committed to building on the falls in suicide rates between 2004-2008 and 2014-2018. \"Alongside mental health and suicide prevention groups, we are working to raise public awareness and improve crisis support services for at risk groups,\" she added.

She is among four women who accuse Shell of being complicit in the hanging of their husbands by Nigeria's military in 1995. Shell denies the allegation. The activists led mass protests against oil pollution in Nigeria's Ogoniland. The protests were seen as a major threat to then-military ruler Gen Sani Abacha, and Shell. They were led by author Ken Saro-Wiwa, who was among nine activists hanged by the military regime. Their executions caused global outrage, and led to Nigeria's suspension from the Commonwealth for more than three years. Two of the widows were in court, but two others were denied visas to attend. What was the atmosphere in court? More than two decades later, memories of the executions still move the widows to tears, reports the BBC's Anna Holligan from court. Mrs Kiobel wiped her eyes, and in a quivering voice described her husband, Barinem Kiobel, as \"kind-hearted\", our reporter adds. Representatives of Shell looked on. At one point, the phone of one them rang as the widows wiped their eyes, prompting judges to remind everyone to keep their devices on silent, our reporter says. What else has Mrs Kiobel said? In a written statement, she said she had lost a \"wonderful husband\" and a \"best friend\". She added: \"Shell came into my life to take the best crown l ever wore off my head. Shell came into my life to make me a poverty-stricken widow with all my businesses shut down. Shell came into my life to make me a refugee living in harsh conditions before l came to the United States through [a] refugee programme and now [I am a] citizen. \"The abuses my family and l went through are such an awful experience that has left us traumatised to date without help. We all have lived with so much pain and agony, but rather than giving up, the thought of how ruthlessly my husband was killed... has spurred me to remain resilient in my fight for justice. \"Nigeria and Shell killed my late husband: Dr Barinem Kiobel and his compatriots Kenule Tua Saro Wiwa, John Kpuinen, Baribor Bera, Paul Levula, Nordu Eawo and the rest [of the] innocent souls. \"My husband and the rest were killed... The memory of the physical torture my family and l went through has remained fresh in my mind, and whenever l look at the scar of the injury l sustained during the incident, my heart races for justice all the more.\" What is Shell's response? In a statement, the firm said the executions were \"tragic events which shocked us deeply\". The statement added: \"The Shell Group, alongside other organisations and individuals, appealed for clemency to the military government in power in Nigeria at that time. To our deep regret, those appeals went unheard. \"We have always denied, in the strongest possible terms, the allegations made in this tragic case. SPDC [the Shell Petroleum Development Company] did not collude with the authorities to suppress community unrest, it in no way encouraged or advocated any act of violence in Nigeria, and it had no role in the arrest, trial and execution of these men. \"We believe that the evidence clearly shows that Shell was not responsible for these distressing events.\" Why were the activists hanged? Saro-Wiwa and the eight other activists were executed after a secret trial in which they were convicted of murdering four Ogoni traditional leaders. They denied the charge, and said they were framed. Then-UK Prime Minister John Major described the trial as \"fraudulent\", and said it had led to \"judicial murder\". At his trial, Saro-Wiwa said the case was designed to prevent the Ogoni people from fighting against oil pollution which had devastated the region's environment and had caused poverty and disease. Saro-Wiwa had co-founded the Movement for the Survival of Ogoni People (Mosop) in 1990, launching mass campaigns to win compensation for environmental damage and to demand that the region be given a fair share of oil profits. What did the other widow say? In her statement to the court, Victoria Bera said she was pregnant with her first child when her husband, Baribor Bera, was arrested by the military. She said: \"The detention and subsequent execution of my husband made things very difficult for the entire family, including other relatives who depended on his financial support. \"The pain I've been living in these years doesn't seem to go away, no matter what I do, especially when l look at my son, who had to grow up without a father... \"I need justice.

            "input": "Wyn Roberts piloted the Welsh Language Act in 1993 and served as Conservative MP for Conwy for 27 years until he joined the House of Lords in 1997. David Cameron called him \"a devoted public servant, and a tireless ambassador for Wales\". In 18 years at the Welsh Office, he became the longest-serving minister in the same department. Mr Cameron added: \"Wyn was one of the kindest and most compassionate colleagues I had the pleasure to work with. \"But his gentle nature could not disguise his skill as a front-line politician and his resolve to be a champion for his beloved Wales.\" Welsh Secretary David Jones called him \"an extraordinary man\" and a \"powerful exponent\" of the Welsh language. The non conformist minister's son from Anglesey turned to politics after starting his career in journalism. After Margaret Thatcher won the 1979 election, Wyn Roberts was made Welsh Office minister and his responsibilities included the Welsh language. He never made it into the cabinet but served under four Secretaries of State and two prime ministers. He became Baron Roberts of Conwy when he retired as an MP in 1997 and was as an opposition spokesman on Welsh affairs in the Lords until 2007. Lord Roberts leaves a wife, Enid - who he married in 1956 - and sons Huw and Geraint. His son Rhys died in 2004. Welsh Secretary David Jones said Lord Roberts had been \"a very active man\" in the House of Lords until becoming ill a few months ago. He called him \"the greatest Welshman of his generation.\" \"The greatest of his many political achievements was the Welsh Language Act, which gave full and proper recognition in public life to the language of which he was such a masterful and powerful exponent, and which he loved so much,\" said Mr Jones. 'Guardian angel' He said this was his \"personal achievement\" and marked him as \"doing more for Welsh cultural life than any man of his generation.\" Mr Jones added that Lord Roberts was \"an extraordinary man, very kind, extremely wise with a tremendous sense humour.\" \"To me, he was a kind friend and wise counsellor. He will be greatly missed, both in Wales and in Westminster.\" Leader of the Welsh Conservatives Andrew RT Davies AM called Lord Roberts \"a great politician and a great man\". He added: \"His hard work and commitment to public service had a hugely positive impact upon the future of the Welsh language and Wales as a whole. \"I know he will be greatly missed and my heartfelt condolences go out to his family on this very sad day.\" Lord Crickhowell, who as Nicholas Edwards was Welsh Secretary in two Thatcher governments, told the BBC News website: \"He was a splendid Welshman and made great contributions to the Welsh language, apart from anything else. \"He was my advisor and guru. \"He also made a great contribution the health service in Wales. \"He will be greatly missed in the Lords. He was a very hard-working figure, and an indispensable number two to me. \"I know he was disappointed that he never became a secretary of state but those of us who knew him knew that probably wouldn't have revealed him at his best because he was one of those people who was extremely good at providing back-up and support.\" Describing him as a \"very good friend,\" Lord Crickhowell added: \"I have to say, in every sense it's terribly sad but he was desperately ill, so in that sense it may be a relief. \"I talked to him in the last two or three weeks on the phone and he couldn't use his hands, or read, or do anything very much.\" There were also tributes from political opponents. First Minister Carwyn Jones said: \"I am saddened to hear of the death of Lord Roberts of Conwy and my thoughts go out to his family and friends at this time. \"Lord Roberts was a leading figure in Welsh politics for more than 30 years. As well as a long career in the Welsh Office he will be particularly remembered for his work on the Welsh language and for piloting the Welsh Language Act. \"He will be greatly missed by Welsh politics as a whole.\" Lord Barry Jones - the former Shadow Welsh Secretary and Alyn and Deeside MP - said: \"Had there been any justice in politics he would have been Secretary of State for Wales. His memoirs were superb. \"Wyn built more roads than the Romans. He was the quintessential Welsh Conservative with an outstanding track record of service.\" Plaid Cymru's parliamentary leader Elfyn Llwyd MP said his passing was a \"big loss to us as a nation\". \"Over the years, I crossed paths with the late Wyn Roberts on various occasions within the political world,\" he said. \"He didn't have much sympathy with my politics and neither did I with his, but we always agreed on matters relating to the language. \"We must remember that Wyn was the Welsh language's greatest advocate within the Tory government and he was the author of the 1993 Language Act. \"On a personal level Wyn was always a polite gentleman with a great sense of humour.\" Huw Jones, chairman of the S4C Authority, called Lord Roberts \"a guardian angel for the Welsh language and for S4C within the Conservative government of the 80s and 90s\". \"Both were close to his heart and he did everything he could to promote and support them.\" Mr Jones added: \"Alongside his measured and careful style, he had humour and mischief in his eye and great personal warmth. \"He made a huge contribution at a critical time for the Welsh language and he will be greatly missed.\" Veteran journalist and friend Derek Bellis told BBC Radio Wales: \"He was a very kind, gentle and humorous man with a giant intellect but no ego at all. \"I never saw him have a single cross word. He often had to run the brunt of demonstrations but took it all in good heart.\" Mr Bellis added: \"I visited him over the last few months when he was ill but his brain was as sharp as a tack. \"He was no toff was Wyn - he was a man of the people.\"",

            "input": "By Helier CheungBBC News Here's his story - in his own words and drawings. In 2013, I left Iran. I can't tell you why because it might affect my family's safety - but I knew my life was in danger. I stayed in Indonesia for 40 days, and tried to get to Australia - I knew Australia was the best way for me to get to safety. A people smuggler told me he could get us to Australia by boat. When I saw the boat, I was afraid I would die. It was a fishing boat, not really well maintained, and there were about 150 of us. And I can't swim. When the time came to get on the boat, I told myself: \"This is it. If anything happens to that weak boat, I'm going to die.\" The journey took us 52 hours - it was raining and the ocean wasn't normal. It was so scary. The Australian navy intercepted us and took us to Christmas Island - a detention centre where Australia keeps asylum seekers who arrive by boat. I had suffered from OCD [Obsessive Compulsive Disorder] for a number of years - but it got worse on Christmas Island. I liked to keep my surroundings clean at all times - but I couldn't control it anymore because I was in a room with several other people. At one point, I tried to wash my dictionary in the shower because I felt it was dirty. I kept telling myself I was going crazy - I was shaking and getting so nervous. Doctors at the medical centre told me I had to take medication, or find some strategies to deal with my OCD. I didn't want to take medication because I was worried the Australian government would call me crazy and blacklist me from entering. But when I went back to my room I slowly remembered that I had a talent for drawing. So I started drawing again to deal with my OCD. I've been drawing since I was five years old - it's one of my earliest memories. I'd stopped a few years before I fled Iran, because I was so busy with work and life - but now I felt so sick that I started drawing again. I didn't always have something to draw on. We could request materials from immigration officers, but they wouldn't always give us paper and pencils. So I had to steal paper - I'd go into language classes, and take blank papers when the teacher was looking the other way. Because I only had a limited supply of paper I couldn't make mistakes in my drawings - that also helped me improve my skills. Drawing actually didn't help my OCD, which was still getting worse every day. But I started showing my drawings to other detainees, and some of the immigration officers, and people got interested in my cartoons. I drew about my life there - what happened when I lined up to get food, what it was like using dirty public toilets. I remember the first time I realised people took my work seriously. I drew a map of Australia on a white T-shirt, with two eyes crying, and the words \"I am only a refugee\". Two immigration officers asked me why I drew on my T-shirt - they saw the drawing as a protest. I hadn't meant it as a protest - I had no idea my drawing would be taken that seriously - but it made me realise that my drawings could affect others. So I kept cartooning - drawing diaries about daily life in the detention centre - and getting lots of positive and negative comments. I was afraid that my drawings could affect my asylum application - but I also thought there could be nothing worse than being kept in a detention centre. I was depressed and my OCD was really difficult - so I thought I was already in a nightmare, and there was nothing else to be afraid of. In fact, Christmas Island was much nicer than where I went next. I was moved to Manus Island after six months, in January 2014. They handcuffed us and I had five security officers around me. It was my first time in a tropical country - it was really hot and it was difficult to breathe. It didn't look like the detention centre on Christmas Island. It looked like somewhere where you would keep chickens, pigs or sheep. We had tents, dirty rooms, dirty toilets, and horrible showers. There were hundreds of people crammed in a small camp. Some of the guards tried to reassure me - they could see the shock on my face. They told me: \"Don't worry, everything is going to be fine.\" I felt I didn't have any choices left - I couldn't go home, couldn't stay in Australia, and didn't want to kill myself. I felt like a dead body who was forcing himself to stay alive. What is Australia's asylum policy? Australia asylum: Why is it controversial? The island where children have given up on life Manus Island: Australia's Guantanamo? I didn't have any pencils or paper when I arrived on Manus Island - they took away my pencils when I left Christmas Island - although I could keep my drawings. At first, I didn't want to draw. When you're forced to live in a place, but don't know why you are there, or when it is going to end, you lose hope, you lose all motivation, and this, combined with the weather, the sun, the mosquitoes - all help to destroy you inside. An incident happened on 17 February 2014 - some of the locals attacked the camp, smashing everything and beating people up. They killed one of the refugees as well. For about a month after that, we didn't have access to much - no proper food, or services. Then another company came to run the camp - they improved the dining room and brought different activities in the camp, including English classes and drawing activities. I started drawing again, documenting life at the camp. I also drew the mosquitoes, the sun and the rain. I chose EatenFish as my penname, because I was caught from the sea like a fish, \"eaten\" (processed) at an Australian detention camp, and then \"thrown away\" on Manus Island (the same way you throw fish bones into a rubbish bin). In some of my pictures, I added graves for the refugees who had died. Sexual harassment and sexual assault were serious problems on Manus Island. It wasn't only me suffering from this - there were a lot of young people like me suffering. I witnessed it a lot, but I couldn't do anything about it because I was already under too much pressure, suffering from OCD, panic attacks and anxiety. We didn't have access to the internet at this time, and I didn't have any hope of sharing my drawings with the outside world. However, the Australian government eventually decided we would each be allowed to use the internet for 45 minutes every week. The connection was really slow, and was barely strong enough to get onto Facebook - but I started logging on, joining Australian humanitarian groups, and sending friend requests to each of the members. I did that for 1.5 years - sending messages to thousands of strangers. No one replied. However, it turns out a lot of the Australian workers and immigration officials at the camp were talking about my drawings, even when they got home. An activist - Janet Galbraith - heard about my drawings and contacted me on Facebook - she said she was starting a gallery in Melbourne, and wanted to display one of my drawings. It wasn't easy sending her my pictures because we didn't have access to a scanner, or cameras. A few people had secretly kept their mobile phones, although most of the cameras weren't very high-quality. Eventually, I managed to secretly take a photo of my drawing using a mobile phone, and sent it to her. After Janet displayed the photo in the gallery, one man working on Manus Island saw the picture, and told Janet he knew me and could help get my drawings out. He was working for the government so I couldn't really trust him, but at the same time I didn't have many other choices. He took photos of my drawings with his iPad and sent them to Janet - and then my drawings started getting published by news organisations. In 2015, many of us went on hunger strike against Australia's policy, and conditions at the camp. I ended up getting really sick - I had panic attacks, with muscle spasms, for almost 40 minutes. Sometimes I had panic attacks three times a day. The doctors put me on different forms of medication, but there were days when I'd wake up and not be able to remember where I used to live or who I was. I was kept in isolation for almost one month. After I got out of isolation, I contacted Janet again, and explained what happened to me. I also got in touch with Cartoonists Rights Network International (CRNI), and was put in touch with the Guardian cartoonist First Dog on the Moon. The Guardian started publishing my work, and in 2016, CRNI gave me their Courage in Editorial Cartooning Award. That got me a lot of publicity - but I didn't really realise it at the time, because my internet access was so limited. I would hear from people that I'd been published, or get sent links to my work - but I'd have to wait to use the internet room each week, and often the connection wouldn't work well. I didn't think the publicity would help me - I saw it as a chance to show my drawings to Australians, but I didn't see how it would get me out of detention. In 2016, artists around the world started drawing cartoons to show their support for me. When I was a child, one of my wishes was to become a cartoonist, because I would read cartoons in magazines and wish my cartoons could be published too. So when I saw that all these cartoonists that I used to worship and see in magazines had drawn cartoons to save me, it was a big honour for me. Cartoonists who had been published in the Washington Post, New Yorker, and New York Times, all drew cartoons about EatenFish. I felt extremely grateful. The International Cities of Refuge Network (Icorn), a Norwegian organisation that helps writers and artists, also started working on my case. I didn't know anything about Icorn at the time - Janet just told me they were looking at my case - but I didn't believe they'd be able to help me. I went on hunger strike in late 2016, because I was being harassed by other detainees, and workers on Manus Island. The strike lasted around 22 days. I was already sick, but felt I didn't have any other choice - and by the end of the strike I weighed 43 kilos. After my hunger strike, I was moved to a hospital in Papua New Guinea for almost three months. While I was there, I got a message from Norway's immigration department, welcoming me. I couldn't believe it. When I got onto the plane to Norway, Janet was there with me. I couldn't stop crying for a few hours - I don't normally cry easily, but this time I couldn't stop. All my years in detention came up in front of my eyes - and I couldn't believe that it was the end. I was so excited and so scared when I arrived in Norway. A few people came to the airport to pick me up, showed me where I would be living, and told me about the support I'd get. It wasn't easy at first. For the first six to eight months I was in a deep depression - even stronger than the one I had on Manus Island. It still affects me now. But I got good support from the government, and help from refugee organisations, especially Icorn. I don't think it's possible to get better support than what I got in Norway. Icorn gave me an office in a public library in Stavanger, so I can work on my projects. A lot of children visit the library, and sometimes I hold drawing courses. I also go to different schools to talk about Australia's refugee policy. Icorn also helps me financially, and helps me interact with different artists around Norway. A lot of people ask me if I feel happy now. It's complicated. I didn't choose to come here - I didn't have any other choices. But now, I love the city that I live in. I think Norway has the best support and services for refugees - there are detention camps for asylum seekers, but they are not locked in - they can go out, interact with people, and see children playing in parks. I always say that art saved me - it helped the Norwegian government find out about my situation. While I was in detention on Christmas Island, and Manus Island, lots of people liked my drawings but told me they wouldn't get me anywhere. Some of the detainees asked me: \"What are you going to achieve with this? You can't help get us out of here with these drawings.\" But now, I think I have the right to say that art actually saved me. I started drawing cartoons in detention, to try and control my illness, and eventually, cartoons saved my life. I genuinely believe that art can help bring peace, and that I have to look after my art and respect that. All pictures subject to copyright.",

Jobs in Belfast could be at risk after the US opted to impose a 220% import tariff on Bombardier's C-Series jet. The move came after Boeing complained that Bombardier was receiving unfair state aid from the UK and Canada. Canada's Bombardier is one of Northern Ireland's biggest employers and the threat to jobs there could jeopardise the Conservatives' pact with the Democratic Unionist Party. Speaking at a Bank of England event in central London, Mrs May said there was also a wider issue. \"I think there is a real challenge for us globally today, because I think that there are aspects of protectionism creeping in around the world,\" she added, saying that she wanted the UK to be \"a global champion of free trade\". In 2016, Boeing won a contract to supply 50 Apache helicopters to the British Army, which could now be scrapped. In response to Mrs May's remarks, the opposition Labour party's international trade spokesman, Barry Gardiner, said she should refer the Boeing-Bombardier case to the World Trade Organization, instead of making an \"empty threat\" against Boeing. The UK government and trade unions fear the imposition of tariffs could make the Canadian firm question whether to remain in Northern Ireland, where it employs 4,100 of its 28,000-strong workforce. About 1,000 jobs are linked to the C-Series, the wings of which are made at a purpose-built £520m factory at Queen's Island in Belfast. The programme is not just important to Bombardier jobs in Belfast, but also to 15 smaller aerospace firms in Northern Ireland - and dozens more across the UK - which make components for the wings. The US Department of Commerce ruling, which could triple the cost of a C-Series aircraft sold into the US, could potentially jeopardise a major order placed last year from US airline Delta - a $5.6bn (£4.15bn) deal for up to 125 of the jets. Bombardier said the decision was \"divorced from the reality about the financing of multi-billion-dollar aircraft programmes\". The Canadian firm has said Boeing is seeking to use US trade laws \"to stifle competition\".",

She claimed she had encouraged the singer - serving 35 years for child sex offences - to send the images in order to expose his criminality. She told how she gave evidence to police at least five times but they failed to act for four years. Speaking through tears on the steps, she said: \"This was a vicious prosecution.\" She added: \"I shouldn't have even been here - just for doing the police's job that they couldn't be arsed to do. \"Do I regret meeting him? Yes, I regret meeting him but if I hadn't met him then no-one would have reported him so I guess I can't regret anything because I was the one who kept going back and going back and reporting and reporting.\" Ms Mjadzelics reported Watkins to police and social services in 2008, 2009, 2011 and 2012 to raise the alarm over his child sex crimes. \"They did nothing,\" Ms Mjadzelics told reporters on Wednesday. \"I feel like this is the end of a long seven years of trying to get the police to do something about him.\" Ms Mjadzelics was accused of joining in the sexual fantasies of singer Watkins and sharing indecent images before he was jailed for 35 years for trying to rape a baby. But the mother-of-one, a former sex trade worker and special constable, said she only continued the relationship to gather evidence against Watkins while the prosecution claimed she was obsessed with him and would have done anything to please him. The Independent Police Complaints Commission has three independent investigations ongoing focused on the response of South Wales Police, Bedfordshire Police and South Yorkshire Police to allegations that Watkins was abusing children. Timeline of allegations The police watchdog has concerns his celebrity status delayed him being brought to justice. IPCC Commissioner Jan Williams said: \"There is understandably significant public interest in determining exactly what steps were taken by police in response to the allegations made against Ian Watkins, and whether he could have been brought to justice sooner.\" During Ms Mjadzelics' eight-day trial the court heard how she had contacted social workers to report Watkins for 'inappropriate conduct with a child'. An investigation followed but officers wrote off Ms Mjadzelics as a \"nuisance\" harassing the rock star. Police records show that although Ms Mjadzelics was interviewed after making initial allegations in 2008, the fact there were no identifiable victims - and concerns had been raised by Mjadzelics' sister about her mental health - meant no further action was taken. She was written off as a \"disgruntled ex-partner\". Defence barrister Michael Wolkind said: \"The police failed to protect babies from Watkins and mothers who donated their babies to him.\" He was referring to the two women, both mothers, who were jailed alongside Watkins for their part in his sexual abuse of young children. Ms Mjadzelics' solicitor Dale Harris said after the verdict: \"It was like some Orwellian nightmare where the truth about Watkins became lies and the unsubstantiated rumour about Miss Mjadzelics became fact. \"Time and time again she reported Watkins and time and time again she was ignored.\" She told the jury she repeatedly went to the police and Watkins' family about his paedophile activities but was not believed until 2012. The email which led to an infatuation When she messaged the Lostprophets' website asking for information about buying tickets Joanne Mjadzelics was shocked to get a response directly from the lead singer of the band. The email from Ian Watkins in 2006 was the first of many, as the pair struck up a relationship which would play itself out largely through text messages, internet phone calls and emails. Watkins quickly suggested they meet and they started a sexual relationship. Ms Mjadezlics admitted at her trial she was initially \"totally in love\" with the singer, and would have done anything for him. Within months she had a tattoo of the initials of his full name - IDKW - on her back, a \"big mistake\" which she has since had changed. The pair continued their on-off relationship with trysts in London, Cardiff, Leeds and Los Angeles - although Ms Mjadezlics told the court she was disgusted by Watkins' sexual interest in children and boasts of sex with underage fans. She said she was trying to gather evidence against him. Ms Mjadzelics denied four charges of possessing indecent images of children, two charges of distributing images and a charge of encouraging and assisting the distribution of an indecent image of a child. The 11-strong jury of six women and five men took more than 14 hours to clear her of all seven charges. Deputy Chief Constable for South Wales Police, Matt Jukes, said: \"During the trial, police actions prior to the most recent investigation were discussed. \"In 2012 South Wales Police initiated its own review into the sequence of events prior to the arrest of Ian Watkins. We identified that there were issues of concern and voluntarily referred the matter to the Independent Police Complaints Commission who is currently carrying out an investigation into these issues.\" Catrin Attwell, Senior Crown Prosecutor for the Crown Prosecution Service Cymru-Wales Complex Casework Unit said: \"Our role is to consider the evidence gathered by police investigations and decide whether there is a realistic prospect of a conviction in court. \"Given the ongoing Independent Police Complaints Commission Investigation relating to complaints made by Ms Mjadzelics, it would be inappropriate to comment further at this time.\"",

            "input": "By Abid HussainBBC Urdu, Islamabad But Pakistan's Maj-Gen Asif Ghafoor is one such individual. As he leaves his post after three headline-grabbing years, praise and criticism have poured in in equal measure. The transfer was expected but it came days after an unseemly social media spat with TV anchor Sana Bucha, which raised eyebrows about his conduct. His successor will find the departing director-general of the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) quite an act to follow. Gen Ghafoor's late-night musings on Twitter provided plenty of controversy and copious fodder for Pakistan's twitterati. Subjects for discussion could appear random - he irked India by praising Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone for attending anti-government protests in Delhi. But he could just as easily post about burn ointment, butchers or stray dogs. Combative tweets from his personal account in the past few days showed how he sought to control the narrative for the world's sixth largest army. The general frequently sparred with retired Indian military officials or journalists on Twitter; at other times he would \"troll\" Pakistani journalists and individuals who criticised the country's military. Earlier this week he locked horns with Sana Bucha after she tweeted criticising the military. Ms Bucha retaliated by reminding him \"to show some class\" but that was met with a thinly veiled warning that she should \"make a choice\". Soon after the exchange, a trend started on Twitter abusing her, which Ms Bucha said had happened before. \"They drag in my family, my friends or even remote acquaintances. As a woman, the suffering is more because they think it's easy to suppress her into submission,\" she told the BBC. Pakistan, which has a history of coups, has had less and less space in recent years for critics of its powerful army. Ms Bucha thinks the ISPR should be more careful about its conduct on social media, considering civil-military relations. The official position of the ISPR is that the DG \"can tweet from his personal account in a personal capacity\". But not everyone in the top brass agrees. One retired senior military official thought there should be \"no personal account\". \"At such a senior post, level and position, there is nothing personal,\" he told the BBC. \"In military PR, one should not be reacting to every issue, comment or incident. It should only be when it is directly affecting the organisation or when there is a demand to take a position.\" Another former army general, Ghulam Mustafa, thought using social media in a personal capacity to \"defend online attacks on the Pakistani army\" was justified. But he did concede that \"at times, the DG ISPR's response in a personal capacity hasn't impacted very positively\". According to strategic communications specialist and former journalist Aniq Zafar, officials using their personal accounts will always be seen to be projecting the narrative of the institution they work for, so no disclaimer works. \"Individuals in leadership positions should be rather careful in the use of social media, careful in selection of words and careful in picking which fights to fight,\" he told the BBC. Amid hostilities between Pakistan and India in 2019, the departing spokesman's provocative tweets invited criticism from both civilian and military circles. But his tactics earned grudging praise from the Indian army's national cyber security co-ordinator in December. \"When they conduct narrative warfare, let's say in the case of Kashmir, the message they send to Europe is that human rights are being infringed. So, they seem to have got their act together,\" said Lt-Gen (retd) Rajesh Pant, India Today reported. Asif Ghafoor will also be remembered for his emphasis on \"5th Generation Warfare\" in his numerous press conferences and tweets, which he said was being waged against Pakistan on social media and needed a robust defence. No military expert has settled on what defines \"5GW\" but it essentially means non-combat, asymmetrical warfare in which non-traditional tools are used. Last April, Facebook removed 103 groups and accounts, which it said were linked to ISPR employees. Twitter also suspended accounts of many Pakistani users last year, allegedly for tweeting criticism of India's government over Kashmir, which both countries dispute. Gen Ghafoor took to Twitter many times to assure users that requests had been made to the social media giant to look into the matter and urged his more than 450,000 followers to behave. \"Stay put responsible… keep adhering to Twitter rules, likewise own,\" he tweeted in October. A former brigadier, Farooq Hameed, told the BBC the ISPR's role had evolved over the time due to the changing nature of social media platforms. \"The DG ISPR is performing a national duty by using his official and personal Twitter account on social media to project threats and challenges to Pakistan's national interests,\" he said. But the retired senior military official who thought there should be no personal account was not convinced. \"The army should never be seen in the lead on matters of national policy, diplomacy or domestic issues. Let the government defend the armed forces against local or outside criticism.\"",

            "input": "By Navin Singh KhadkaEnvironment reporter, BBC World Service, Vietnam The endless green fields scored by the river's nine tributaries, which the Vietnamese call \"Nine Dragons\", explain why this area is one of the world's major food baskets. It houses the richest inland fishery and accounts for more than a fifth of the world's rice exports, although looks can be deceptive. Encroaching sea water from the south, a proliferation of hydro dams in the north and large-scale sand mining are endangering the delta, officials warn. As a result, an alarming 500 hectares (5 km2) of land is being lost to soil erosion every year, they say. \"The sea level rise is bringing up water so fast that our defences against it have failed,\" said Ky Quang Vinh, director of the Climate Change Coordination Office, a government agency in Vietnam's Can Tho, the most populous city in Mekong. \"We've stopped growing mangrove trees on the coast because they only grow if the sea level rise stays below 1.6mm (0.06in) a year, and our work shows that in Vietnam it's going up by 5mm (0.2in).\" \"Several of our sea dykes have collapsed too.\" Unstoppable sea water As inland river water gets saltier, rice farmers across the lower Mekong delta are responding by switching to shrimp farming or growing reeds. Salt water has been found 60km (37.3 miles) inland. According to the Southern Irrigation Research Institute, saltwater intrusion destroyed more than 6,000 hectares (60 sq km) of rice field last year. \"Nearly half the delta population now has no access to fresh water and that's serious,\" says Le Anh Tuan, deputy director of the Research Institute for Climate Change. Scientists at the Mekong River Commission (MRC), an intergovernmental body, also warn that if the sea level continues to rise at its projected rate of around one metre by the end of the century, nearly 40% of the delta will be wiped out. The MRC covers four countries in the lower Mekong region: Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam. Runaway dams In the north, it is the pace of dam expansion that is causing most concern. Several dams upstream are already accused of disturbing the ecology of the river, which stretches nearly 5,000 km ( 8,047 miles) from Tibet in China to the sea. According to International Rivers (IR), an organisation working on trans-boundary rivers, China has built six \"mega dams\" on the river and is planning another 14 over the next 10 years. \"China's dam construction on the Upper Mekong has already had an impact downstream, especially along the Thai-Lao border where communities have suffered declining fisheries and changing water levels that are seriously affecting their livelihoods,\" the IR says in one report. \"By changing the river's hydrology, blocking fish migration and affecting the river's ecology, the construction of dams on the Lower Mekong will have repercussions throughout the basin.\" Laos, Cambodia, Thailand and Vietnam are planning to follow China's lead by building a dozen more dams on the lower Mekong. The Don Sahong hydro dam project in Laos is especially controversial in Cambodia and Vietnam, the two countries at the basin's southernmost tip. There is also evidence that new dams retain vital nutrient-rich sediments which replenish the river bed and which marine life depends on to survive. According to the Mekong River Commission, roughly 85 million fewer tonnes a year of pebbles, boulders and sand are deposited in the river today than in 1992, mainly due to the construction of hydropower dams and reservoirs upstream. \"Less water and sediment from the north mean more saline intrusion from the sea in the south and more losses for the delta and its inhabitants,\" says La So Sinh of the Vietnamese government's natural resources and environment monitoring agency. Even though the MRC coordinates water resources development between its member countries in the Mekong basin, critics say it is not doing enough to resolve dam disputes and their consequences. Heads in the sand There is a third disturbing development: the tens of millions of cubic metres a year of sand being mined from the lower Mekong river that flows through Laos, Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam. A World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) study suggests most extractions are happening in Cambodia and Vietnam. \"In the Vietnamese part of the delta, over 150 sand mines, spread across 8,000 hectares (80 sq km) of the river's surface, have been licensed by 13 Mekong Delta provinces,\" it says. \"One billion cubic metres (35.3 billion cubic feet) of sand would be needed by 2020 to fulfil the demand for construction materials in the Mekong Delta region.\" Environmental campaigners in Vietnam say the government is aware of the ecological cost of allowing the mining but does not act. \"It cannot ask local authorities to withdraw licenses because private companies will then demand compensation,\" says Duong Van Tho from the Vietnam Mining Coalition. There is a further risk. \"Some parts of the river within our territory are just five metres (16.4 feet) deep, so big ships just can't sail through them,\" says Phan Thanh Tien, general director of the Cai Cui port in the lower Mekong. \"But to expand our navigation capacity here and abroad, our only option is to dredge the river bed.\" With both government agencies and private companies involved in dredging, riverside communities are left feeling more vulnerable. \"After such dredging, big ships have started entering smaller tributaries and canals, which causes big waves of water that break our embankments and flood our homes,\" says An Binh's community leader Pham Vam Xuong. Experts say erratic rainfall patterns have made floods worse during the wet season. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has long warned that the Mekong delta will feel the effects of climate change. Its latest assessment report says: \"National climate change adaptation plans have been formulated in all four Lower Mekong Basin countries, but trans-boundary adaptation planning across these countries does not exist.\" Just when they could have joined forces to combat climate change, experts say, the countries in this region are embroiled in dam development disputes. And the deeper their differences, the bigger the fears for the delta become.",

            "input": "By Joanna HumphreysBusiness reporter While Christmas markets go back to medieval Germany, they are a relatively recent addition to the British consumer's festive calendar. The last 15 years have seen them sprout up across the country, with cities vying to declare their own Christmas market the most popular. Last year Birmingham's Frankfurt market had almost five million visitors to its 180 stalls, while some nine million people visited Manchester's 300-stall market, which has seen huge growth since it began in 1999 with just 15 stalls. 'Astonishing' Edith Lovegrove, who is from Cologne, was among the first to bring the German festivities to the UK. She founded the company Xmas Markets after seeing the popularity of German Christmas markets in her hometown. Ms Lovegrove currently runs a Christmas market at the Tate Modern in London, but her traditional-style markets were previously situated on the South Bank and at Hyde Park. \"I found it astonishing that people would sit all these hours in a coach to see Christmas markets,\" she says. \"I knew there wasn't anything like it in the UK, so I thought it was a good idea to transport something like that.\" Not all of her traders come from Germany, which, she says, is what makes her market authentic. \"It is the same in Germany, not all of the traders are German. I think everybody should sell what they do best. \"Most of the handmade glass-blown baubles are from traders in Hungary, my crepe-seller is from France and we have beautiful amber pieces from stallholders from the Baltics.\" Ms Lovegrove says that although some German markets in the UK do maintain an authentic feel, some have turned the German theme into more of a \"fun-fair-cum-Oktoberfest\". \"And that's not the atmosphere of what a traditional Christmas market is supposed to be,\" she says. Ms Lovegrove insists that the German market trend is not new, but that it is just now being noticed. \"Event companies have found out that it is something the public likes, but I think the public themselves have always liked these markets.\" Getting the formula right Some cities in the UK have seen the success of the German markets in neighbouring authorities and have tried to replicate it. John Hirst is chief executive at Destination Bristol, which promotes tourism in Bristol. The city introduced a German-style market five years ago. He says Bristol's market was inspired by the success of Birmingham's Frankfurt market. Mr Hirst says that in previous years the German market has had a negative impact on local businesses, but this year there have been some changes and now they \"have the formula right\". \"Local food retailers were suffering because [the German market] was novel and different,\" he says. \"This year we had to do something to make it fairer for the existing retailers. \"We reduced the amount of space that the market occupied by 30% and the type of products sold.\" Peak Bratwurst? Mr Hirst says the market is retaining its popularity with the public but he does wonder: \"When is the bubble going to burst?\" Major food retailers have also noticed a new preference for German-style Christmas products. Waitrose says that sales of stollen (fruit cake) in the first week of December were up 60%, and gingerbread houses were up 127% on the same period last year. \"Once considered delicacies found only at trips to Christmas markets, German-style cakes and bakes such as stollen and lebkuchen are now considered festive staples in British shopping baskets,\" says Marianne Robson, Waitrose's Christmas bakery buyer. While UK supermarkets like Waitrose can sell the taste of the German market, the atmosphere keeps the public visiting the street-side cabins. Anya Manke is from Frankfurt and has been running a gluehwein (German mulled wine) stall in the Manchester Christmas market for 14 years. \"Every year the same amount of people visit,\" she says. \"People meet at the market like they would in a restaurant or a bar.\" The view from Berlin By Elizabeth Hotson, business reporter There are dozens of Christmas markets in Berlin spread right across the city. They're often situated in picturesque locations, including here under the shadow of the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church. Music comes courtesy of choirs or a brass band but food and drink is the main attraction. From currywurst and gingerbread to sugared almonds and spiced wine, it's a wonderland of festive treats. The sounds, smells and sheer volume of people can be overwhelming with families, work groups, tourists and couples getting into the Christmas spirit. Johann Luxem is visiting Berlin to see friends. In Cologne he runs a traditional food and drink stall, but he often visits the UK to scope out the competition. \"Birmingham, Leeds, Manchester, London and Edinburgh all have impressive German Christmas markets and I like to see what they're selling.\" But he says there is one big difference between Germany and the UK. \"The gluehwein stalls are often fenced off in the UK, whereas in Germany there seems to be a more relaxed attitude to alcohol.\" 'Less corporate' One events company that has noticed that the public desire the experience as much as the product is Sayers Amusements, which runs the Cardiff Bay Beach in the summer and Cardiff and Swansea Winter Wonderlands in the run-up to Christmas. \"We have had a look at European markets and seen that there is a warm Christmas feeling around it,\" says Norman Sayers, senior director of the family company. Despite the fact that they cater for work parties, Mr Sayers says they have made efforts to make the Winter Wonderland in Cardiff \"a lot less corporate\", particularly now it has a wooden lodge. Ian Danahar, who works in insurance in Cardiff, visited the German-style lodge on his work Christmas party. He hopes that the Cardiff market will expand. \"If they could find a bigger venue, I think it would be really well supported. \"It's the atmosphere that makes it. Where else can you stand outside, in a shed, in December, in the cold, drinking beer?\"",

However, it said there were non-combustible insulation materials behind the cladding, and that other fire prevention measures are in place. The fire service said it was carrying out a full audit of the building. At least 79 people are feared to have been killed in the blaze at Grenfell on 14 June. Cladding from 95 towers in 32 local authority areas in England have failed fire safety tests which were carried out in the aftermath of the tragedy. However, no local authority or housing association tower blocks in Scotland have been found to use the same material. A spokesman for Edinburgh Napier University said it had launched a review of its buildings after the Grenfell blaze. \"A physical inspection identified that around a quarter of the exterior walls on one of our buildings - Bainfield Halls of residence - featured the same cladding reportedly used at Grenfell,\" he said. \"The insulation materials behind the Bainfield cladding panels are non-combustible, the panel hangings are all made of metal, the wall cavities are properly fire-stopped and the buildings are fitted with sprinklers. \"There are also a range of other fire safety measures in place, including each block having its own exit route, a modern fire alarm and smoke detection system that is tested weekly, and 24-hour on-site security.\" She added: \"Work has already begun to remove and replace the cladding as a precautionary measure, and we are working closely with the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service to ensure it is safe to continue to use the building as normal. Residents are not being evacuated.\" The university intends to complete remedial work before students return for the start of the new academic year in September. Napier University has a long-term lease on the building, which is owned by Standard Life Investments. The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service said it was aware of the situation. A spokeswoman said: \"We have been in close contact with the university's fire safety adviser and our own fire safety enforcement officers will today carry out a full and thorough audit of the building.\" Edinburgh Green councillor Gavin Corbett said: \"Almost as soon as the Grenfell tragedy happened I had local queries about the cladding used on the buildings at Bainfield.\" \"This news will come as a great shock to the students in Bainfield and the wider community. \"It's obviously vital that the cladding is replaced urgently and that all fire safety and prevention steps are taken in the meantime. While the fire service advice appears to be that there is no need to evacuate, if there is even a sliver of doubt I believe the university must offer alternative accommodation for those students directly affected. \"One mercy is that the flats are relatively unoccupied at the moment because of the end of term which means that work can be done as quickly as possible. Range of accommodation The National Union of Students Scotland called for building inspections to be extended. President Vonnie Sandlan said: \"It was encouraging to see the Scottish government announce a review of the safety of high-rise flats in Scotland following the tragic events at Grenfell Tower. \"However, in light of the worrying discovery that student halls at Edinburgh Napier University were built using the same cladding as Grenfell Tower, the remit of the government's investigations must be extended to include educational and student accommodation buildings. \"Students live in a range of accommodation, so any review into building safety absolutely has to take into account all university, college, and private student accommodation buildings.\"",

Until now, Aberporth has been the only privately-owned airport in Europe allowed to operate UAVs in special segregated flying zones. More than 100 people protested against UAVs outside the site on Monday. West Wales Airport in Aberporth has been involved in the development of UAVs or Unmanned Air Systems (UAS) since their origins as target drones in Cold War missile tests. In the last decade Aberporth has become a centre of excellence for the latest UAV technology. At an industry event at the Royal Society in London this week, the NAC announced that Newquay Cornwall Airport would now become an \"integrated part\" of operations that would \"significantly extend its capacity\". Newquay airport, an aerospace enterprise zone, has one of the longest runways in Britain, at nearly two miles (3km). Ray Mann, head of the NAC, says Newquay Cornwall Airport was a \"capable partner\" for Aberporth. \"This is an opportunity for the UK to lead the way,\" he said. \"Together, West Wales Airport and Newquay Cornwall Airport are committed to being at the forefront of developments in this sector and we hope our vision will deliver rewards,\" he continued. 'War machine' Mr Mann claims the NAC is the largest and most capable facility of its type anywhere in the world. \"We need to ensure that some current perceptions of civilian use of UAS don't hinder the UK's ability to capitalise on this exciting opportunity for economic growth.\" Mr Mann said that although the NAC will have two sites in western Britain it did not necessarily mean that unmanned aircraft would fly between the two runways. \"If a client requested it, we would seek temporary airspace restrictions,\" he said. On Monday, more than 100 peace campaigners demonstrated outside Aberporth in protest at the development of \"drones\" at the site. Watchkeeper CND Cymru, Amnesty International, Cymdeithas y Cymod and National Justice and Peace Network took part in the rally. The Aberporth complex includes the NAC-owned West Wales Airport and facilities, as well as the nearby military range radars operated by defence technology company QinetiQ. Aberporth is used by the Ministry of Defence, which has been developing the Watchkeeper drone with defence contractor the Thales Group. Although Watchkeeper is unarmed, it is used as an intelligence, surveillance, target acquisition and reconnaissance (Istar) system by the British Army. In 2011, at the request of the Welsh government, a new 25-mile (40km)-wide UAV zone was established by the Civil Aviation Authority over mid Wales to the east of Aberporth, extending the total testing area over land and sea to a total of around 8,600 Km² (3,320 mi²). Al Titterington, managing director of Newquay Cornwall Airport, said there was a huge opportunity for growth. \"The UK aerospace industry has a major opportunity in the UAS market but first it must develop, demonstrate and prove that systems and sub-systems can contribute to ensuring safe and reliable operations, whilst being properly regulated,\" said Mr Titterington.",

She signalled she hoped to get Labour backing for any new customs proposal before putting it to Parliament again. She said their aims were \"very similar\" and \"sometimes people use different terms to mean the same thing\". Labour wants the PM to sign up to the idea of a customs union with the EU, something she has adamantly opposed up to now, and some have suggested she is moving in their direction. Most Conservative MPs have said they would not support the move, saying it would mean the UK would not have an independent trade policy. Mrs May chose to open talks with Jeremy Corbyn after Parliament rejected the withdrawal agreement she has negotiated with the EU a third time late last month. After this defeat, the EU extended the deadline for the UK's departure - originally set for 29 March - until 31 October. Mrs May told MPs she hoped the extension would be \"terminable\" well before this date and the UK would find itself outside the EU \"as soon as possible\". Appearing before the Liaison Committee of senior MPs, she said the choice facing Parliament was the same as when it last rejected her agreement. MPs could opt to agree a deal and leave in an orderly fashion, to leave without a deal, hold another referendum, or to stay in the EU by revoking Article 50 - only the first of which she found \"acceptable\". She said she was \"convinced\" that reaching out to Labour to try and build a majority for any deal was the right thing to do. If no agreement was reached, she said the government would stand by its commitment to give MPs the chance to vote on a series of options, with ministers abiding by the outcome. 'Paralysed' Pressed by Labour MP Hilary Benn on whether this would include a customs union, Mrs May pointed out that Parliament had already rejected the idea on more than one occasion. But she added: \"Various terms are used in relation to customs. Sometimes people use different terms to mean the same thing, sometimes it is meaning different approaches. \"But what I think is important when we comes to that process is that anything we put before the House, I hope would would be able to get agreement with the opposition so there is a process that everyone can stand behind.\" Asked whether she was prepared to soften her opposition to a customs union, she said both sides needs to \"identify\" what they were trying to achieve. On the issue of post-Brexit trade, she said the government and Labour had \"very similar\" objectives, which were to protect jobs and to ensure as frictionless as trade as possible. But Labour MP Yvette Cooper said MPs felt \"they were going around in circles and paralysed like nothing is changing\". Conservative MP Bernard Jenkin, who voted against the deal three times, said the PM had been under no obligation to agree the terms of the extension offered by the EU. In response, she told him that if all Conservatives had voted to leave the EU the UK would no longer be a member. While the UK's policy was to leave with a deal, she insisted this was \"not entirely in the hands of the UK government\" as it would be up to the EU to decide on any further extension.",

The appointment is seen as the founding family's bid to keep a grip on the company, in which it has a 14% stake. It came as it reported a 9% rise in annual profits thanks to Asian demand. The French distiller behind the iconic aniseed liquor - which also owns the global brands Jameson Whiskey, Absolut Vodka, as well as Mumm and Perrier-Jouët champagnes - also appointed Daniele Ricard, Patrick's sister, as the new chairman of the board of directors. Mr Ricard passed away two weeks ago. The current chief executive, Pierre Pringuet, was promoted as vice-chairman of the board, and will remain in his position until handing over the company's reins to Alexandre. It was Patrick Ricard's wish that the founder's French heirs remain at the helm of the group ever since Paul Ricard first commercialized pastis, originally produced as absinthe, in 1932. His eponymous company later merged with rival Pernod in 1975. Asian thirst Meanwhile Pernod Ricard said that sales in Asia and the Americas helped to offset a fall in its home market, France - its best results since 2007-08 at the height of the global economic downturn. Sales in Asia rose by 15% and by 6% in the Americas, boosting total revenue to 8.2bn euros ($10.3bn; £6.5bn), up 7% from the previous year. Net profit for the year ended 30 June rose 9% to 1.17bn euros and the group said it would offer a 10% increase in its dividend to 1.58 euros. Demand in its home market France fell due to the impact of a tax rise on alcoholic beverages implemented at the beginning of the year. \"Despite the economic uncertainty, we are confident in the group's ability to deliver solid growth this year as well,\" said chief executive Mr Pringuet.

He had about 100 customers to call on, but knew all of them by name, often stopping for a cup of tea and a chat. After a good round, he'd have collected £10 or £20 from most houses on his list. Daniel worked as a self-employed agent for Provident Financial for about a year, finishing this summer. He first heard about the job because he and his wife had both borrowed money from Provident in the past - just small amounts to tide them over Christmas. They'd become friends with the agent collecting the money each week. \"She'd come up for a chat, and bring the dog a treat, before she went on her way,\" he said. Targets On her recommendation, Daniel applied for the Provident work when he lost his job and, after a successful interview, took over a former agent's loan book. \"The book wasn't great, to be honest with you,\" he says. \"You want to reach your targets because if you meet them, the more money you get at the end of the week. Some of the customers weren't paying and it was through no fault of their own. \"The agent who had the book before wasn't a great collector, so I had to go around and tell them how I'm going to help them.\" That's how Daniel saw his job. Helping people. He says most of the time people just needed a small loan of a couple of hundred pounds to help them through a tricky patch, and he says if people struggled to keep up with the payments, then he had a lot of autonomy to sort out some kind of a deal with them. If someone missed a £10 payment, ideally they'd pay £20 the next week and catch up. But Daniel says: \"If they can say, 'Look I'll give you £12 a week until that's cleared,' I'm happy enough with that. I would never push anyone and go, 'I need that £20 next week.' \"I would say, 'Could you afford even an extra pound next week and clear that wee bit? I don't want you falling in too much debt.' That's the way I saw it.\" After four weeks of failed payments, management stepped in, but Daniel says that only happened to his customers three or four times. Personal 'interaction' This is a very controversial industry, particularly because the interest rates are so high. For a £100 loan with Daniel over a three or four-month period, customers would repay £150. But he says it was that personal contact and the ability to get loans and make repayments in cash that made the system so popular. \"I think that's what people liked about Provident and doorstep loans in general. Somebody is coming to the door. A few of my customers didn't see anybody, so they liked the wee interaction.\" At the beginning of 2017 the company announced it would be changing the way it operated, employing fewer staff and collecting as many loan repayments as possible through online app payments. Daniel said he and his fellow doorstep agents knew that would lead to lots more people not making their repayments. \"Under the old system, they're not taking it out of your bank account, somebody's knocking at the door, filling your book in, and you know where you stand. They've just lost that way.\" You can hear Daniel's full story on Radio 5 Live Drive later.",

Ms Sturgess and her partner Charlie Rowley - who has since recovered - are believed to have come into contact with a bottle of Novichok discarded by the Skripals' attackers. Police officer Det Sgt Nick Bailey was also contaminated with the nerve agent at the Skripal's home, where it had been sprayed on the door handle, and needed hospital treatment.

            "input": "By James CookScotland Correspondent, BBC News Tian Tian's hormone and protein levels, along with changes in her behaviour, suggest she may be expecting a cub, after artificial insemination in April. Keepers will not know for sure until just before the panda gives birth, which could happen within a month. A baby giant panda has never been born in the UK, but the zoo's Iain Valentine said: \"Things are looking good.\" Tian Tian and the zoo's male, Yang Guang, are the UK's only pair of giant pandas. They arrived in Scotland two years ago and are being rented by Edinburgh Zoo from the Chinese government for a decade for an annual fee of about £600,000. The pandas, both of whom will turn 10 in the next few weeks, have twice tried and failed to mate naturally. So in the early hours of 21 April the female panda was artificially inseminated. Mr Valentine, director of the zoo's giant panda programme, said Tian Tian could have twins by different fathers, one of whom would be Yang Guang. \"We used two different males for the artificial insemination,\" he explained to BBC News. \"It's hugely exciting. There's never been a baby panda born in the UK.\" According to the zoo, several indicators suggest that Tian Tian is pregnant. The first is a spike in the hormone progesterone which is measured by sending the panda's urine samples to the Leibniz Institute for Zoo and Wildlife Research in Berlin. It was first detected on 15 July and was confirmed this week. \"The hormone concentrations we measured in the urine sample from the panda increased,\" said Dr Martin Dehnhard at the Leibniz Institute. \"That tells me that she is pregnant or pseudo-pregnant.\" A pseudo - or phantom - pregnancy is possible. These are extremely common in pandas, but Edinburgh Zoo is using a cutting-edge test to try to rule it out as a possibility. The test has been developed by Memphis Zoo in the US. It measures a female panda's protein levels to give an indication of whether she is pregnant and likely to carry the cub to full term. In Tian Tian's case the results appear to be positive, but the technique is relatively new and scientists are not yet confident enough to declare it 100% reliable. However there is a third indicator of pregnancy: behaviour, and here too the signs are good. According to Edinburgh Zoo, Tian Tian is off her food, she is moody and at various stages over the past few months she has been showing \"nesting\" behaviour. A more solid indication would come from an ultrasound scan, although even that is not definitive as a panda foetus is tiny - at birth the cub weighs only 150g - and doesn't develop until the final days of pregnancy. In any case, a scan requires a panda's co-operation and Tian Tian is not obliging. \"We're not going to risk the hand of our vet,\" Mr Valentine said, explaining why they have abandoned the idea. It means they will not know for certain whether the panda is pregnant until a few days before a cub is born, which they estimate is likely to happen between 24 August and 10 September. Twenty-four hours before giving birth Tian Tian would be expected to become restless and start to bleat. Two incubators will be on standby in the zoo's panda nursery in case she has twins. Michael Livingstone, one of the panda keepers, said anticipation in the zoo would turn to elation at news of a cub or cubs. \"I think it'll just explode. I think there's going to be a very big buzz about it. \"It's such an exciting thing so I think it'll go off the scale.\" If there are twins, or if Tian Tian is struggling to rear her cub alone, Mr Livingstone would be one of a team of four keepers who would provide round-the-clock care for the newborns. In keeping with a Chinese tradition, any cub would be named 100 days after the birth. It would be the property of the People's Republic of China and would be sent there after two years in Scotland. Establishing a panda cub's sex is tricky and is usually not possible until the animal is between one and three months old. Parentage would be established by a blood test at around the same time. As well as Yang Guang, the other potential father is Bao Bao, whose sample was frozen before he died at the age of 34 last year. But is Tian Tian going to give birth? \"Results so far are very encouraging,\" said Chris West, chief executive of the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland, the charity that runs Edinburgh Zoo. \"But we don't want to count our pandas until they are born.\"",

Consultant psychiatrist Dr Obed Bekoe said a sectioning order, restricting Ms Brabant's movements, had been lifted in order to help her recovery. The following month, in October 2017, she lay on rail tracks at Southampton station, forcing a train to make an emergency stop, the court heard.

He said he wanted to see a host of other specialities, including vascular and orthopaedic surgeons follow suit from next summer. It will then become mandatory from April 2014. Sir David said providing such data was more aimed at allowing surgeons to compare performance, which in turn puts pressure on them to improve. He said the evidence showed that patients did not always use such detailed information. The publication of surgery-specific data was first called for in 2001 by Prof Sir Ian Kennedy, who chaired the inquiry into the excessive number of deaths of babies undergoing heart surgery in Bristol. Since then, only heart surgeons have published data down to an individual level. 'Time to take a lead' Some doctors have been resistant to widening publication of data as there is a fear that it may give a misleading impression. Those doctors that take on the most difficult and complex cases may look to be performing worse, when in fact they could be the leading specialists in their field. Sir David acknowledged this could be a problem, but said it had to start happening at some point and the accuracy of data would improve in time. \"People have been talking about consultant level data but never done it.

The board is in charge of overseeing the new GP-led clinical commissioning groups that will take charge of the NHS budget from April. The guidance also included the details about moving the NHS to seven-day working. The Commissioning Board is to set up a group to examine the potential for the NHS in England to provide some services - such as day surgery - at the weekend.",

            "input": "By Elysa GardnerArts reporter, New York As a producer and a director, he has been attached to a greater range of critically and commercially successful Broadway musicals than any other individual, with a record 21 Tony Awards as testament. It has nonetheless taken more than six years to bring Prince of Broadway, a new musical tracing those accomplishments, to its title location, where Prince last worked a decade ago. A shortage of investors was at one point an issue, astonishingly - or perhaps not so, given the proliferation of jukebox musicals and movie and brand adaptations that have attracted latter-day Broadway producers. Prince, now 89, was never fazed. \"So many of the shows I've done were met with cynicism, initially,\" he says. \"It was a journey getting West Side Story to Broadway. It was a journey getting Fiddler on the Roof to Broadway.\" Both of those classics, originally produced by Prince and directed and choreographed by Jerome Robbins, are featured in Prince of Broadway, which is set to open on 24 August at New York's Samuel J Friedman Theatre. So are several of the groundbreaking musicals that West Side lyricist Stephen Sondheim introduced in the 1970s (Company, A Little Night Music, Follies, Sweeney Todd) under Prince's direction, and two of the London-based Andrew Lloyd Webber blockbusters Prince also helmed - Evita and The Phantom of the Opera. Co-directed and choreographed by multiple Tony winner Susan Stroman - with whom Prince worked on an acclaimed revival of Show Boat, which is also represented - includes numbers from 17 shows woven together by David Thompson's minimal book, which enlists the nine cast members to give voice to Prince's thoughts and recollections. The conceit of having performers essentially play Prince, in addition to various characters from the musicals, was developed in Japan, where the show premiered in 2015. \"A good deal of what I think about my life in the theatre is now spoken by these guys, and women - which is a lot better than having me play me,\" Prince quips. \"That's the most fun part of the work, that there's so much goddamn talent around. So many great people working in theatre, or trying to.\" For Stroman, whose many high-profile stage credits include The Producers and The Scottsboro Boys, the biggest challenge posed by Prince of Broadway was simply narrowing down the material. \"We would meet in Hal's office every morning and go through lists and lists of different songs from so many shows, telling so many incredible stories,\" she says. \"Hal has never been afraid to take chances, to go to places that people previously thought a musical couldn't go - like a Latin-American prison.\" That's a reference to Kiss of the Spider Woman, one of two musicals showcased in Prince set in prisons - the other being Parade by Jason Robert Brown, who has provided a new song and arrangements. That a reminder of the social and moral conscience that has driven many landmark musicals arrives on Broadway in this first year of the Trump administration is plainly not lost on Prince. In a letter to The New York Times, he wrote: \"There's a saying in theatre that whoever occupies the star's dressing room creates the atmosphere backstage. \"I've been thinking about that recently in terms of our national trauma, and I believe the star in our dressing room has brought about the epidemic of dangerous mood changes, random episodes of violence and a general malaise in the lives of most Americans.\" In conversation, Prince notes: \"There have been so many dangerous times in our history. But I will say this - Watergate was a pipsqueak of an event compared with what this country is going through right now. It's the most egregious and unpredictable thing. \"But we'll rise out of it. I have so many heroes now. Every night my wife and I watch Stephen Colbert, and he is masterful - he is right on the money.\" Broadway's creative boom Prince feels similar gratitude to the producers and backers who finally brought Prince of Broadway to Broadway, among them the non-profit Manhattan Theatre Club and Hamilton producer Jeffrey Seller, listed in the playbill as \"creative consultant\" but \"much more than that, God knows\", according to Prince. \"I stopped producing a long time ago, but when I was a creative producer, I said that Broadway lacked creative producers,\" he says. \"But right now, I'm surrounded by them. I've never felt more supported and protected than I do with this show.\" There are still, Prince accepts, \"people who go into producing because they want to hit the jackpot, which is something that never occurred to me - though I guess I hit it on enough occasions to still be here.\" He was encouraged by Hamilton's triumph and the subsequent success of another off-Broadway transfer, Dear Evan Hansen, and the surprise Broadway hit Come From Away, both musicals that deal unflinchingly with tragic events and the necessity of human connection. New projects \"None of them are star-driven productions, and they've all got interesting and unpredictable subjects. They came along at the right time.\" Prince says he has no additional projects lined up at the moment, notwithstanding hopeful buzz about a future Broadway revival of Evita. \"I want to find something,\" he says. \"My wife has said to me, 'Before the opening night of [Prince], I want to know what you're doing next.' \"I don't think anything will come up in the next two weeks. But I've got the energy. I still feel about 40 years old. As long as that holds out, I sure as hell want to keep working.\" Follow us on Facebook, on Twitter @BBCNewsEnts, or on Instagram at bbcnewsents.

This mirrors a similar recent move by rival Vodafone, and Three has also today announced a 1GB monthly cap. Some observers expressed surprise at Three's decision to impose a limit. Ben Wood, a mobile phone analyst at CCS Insight, said: \"We had expected that Three would seek to differentiate its offer from rivals by offering bigger data bundles. \"It has obviously realised that this approach would see heavy data users signing up and clogging up its network.\" Fair usage Orange has always imposed a 750MB monthly \"fair usage\" policy since it started to offer the iPhone in late 2009. Mike Wilson, mobiles manager for Moneysupermarket, said: \"With the limit set at 750MB, there is very little difference between a cap and a fair usage policy\". Some networks vary their data bundle between 500MB and 1GB per month, depending on the cost of the contract a user chooses. A 1GB cap amounts to approximately two to three hundred MP3 song downloads in a month. And a message on O2's website says that a user with a 500MB cap could send 1,000 e-mails with photos attached. But data consumption grows very quickly when users start to stream video on their phones. Mr Wood said: \"It's very difficult for users to keep track of their data usage. \"I pity the poor user who loves to watch videos on YouTube, then smashes through his monthly allowance in no time at all. \"The onus is on the network operators to make sure they have processes in place to regularly update users who are approaching the top of their data bundle,\" he said. O2's website said: \"If you're using lots of data and getting close to your network data limit, we'll let you know with a text message.\" A spokesman for O2 told BBC News that once a user had hit the data limit, their connection would be throttled; users would still be able to send and receive e-mails, but would have difficulty in viewing video. The firm said users would be able to top-up their limit, at a cost of £5 per extra 500MB. Increasing demand Mobile phone companies have also said that the vast majority of their customers are using well below the level of the data caps they impose. \"In the UK O2 revealed that 3% of users on smartphone tariffs accounted for 36% of its smartphone data traffic,\" said Mr Wood. But he also argued that demand for data consumption is only likely to increase. \"This is a near-term fix, and the bottom line is that network operators are going to have to invest a lot of money in new technology to ensure they can cope with demand from their customers.\"",

When carried out properly, the visual impact is minimal. However, Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH) said there was growing concern about poor practice at sensitive sites. Writing in Geoscientist Online , SNH geologist Colin MacFadyen said guidance set out in the 1989 Code of Conduct for Rock Coring and also the Scottish Core Code were being ignored. He said examples of irresponsible drilling included holes drilled into the Sandwick Fish Bed near Stromness, on Orkney. In the Geological Society's magazine, Mr MacFadyen said: \"Worryingly, there are reports from around the world, including one from Scotland, of small scale geological structures not only being defaced, but having been annihilated by coring. \"It is not just geoscientists who are becoming alarmed at the level of irresponsible core sampling, as the cumulative effects of this otherwise efficient sampling method are becoming increasingly apparent to even the most casual observers. \"Irresponsible coring is tarnishing the reputation of geological science as well as damaging exposure, with the general public experiencing defaced outcrop in every setting imaginable - remote beaches and islands, mountain tops, and, lamentably, classic geological sections within statutory protected areas.\" Mr MacFadyen's concerns add to previous warnings about the condition of Scotland's geology, fossils and soils. Last year, tonnes of rock were disturbed at a Jurassic site on Skye in what was described as one of Scotland's most reckless acts of fossil collecting. SNH said rock was dug away from cliffs near Bearreraig Bay in an apparent organised search for valuable specimens. Dinosaur footprints have also been removed from Valtos, another location on the island. Skye is a key dinosaur fossil site in Scotland. Bearreraig Bay, north of Portree, is within a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). A crowbar was suspected to have been used to prise away some of the rock. The State of Scotland's Soils, a report published last year, suggested planning authorities should better understand the role of soils in storing carbon and do more to protect prime farm land. The document's contributors included public agencies and scientists. Soils support agricultural businesses worth £700m to the Scottish economy, according to the report. However, it said the use of increasingly heavy farm machinery and how they compact soils posed a potential threat that was not fully understood in Scotland. Other key threats to the quality of soils identified in the report included the effects of climate change. Rainfall and temperatures influence the richness of organic matters - such as plants - in soils, the report said.",

            "input": "By Matthew PriceBBC News, Dordrecht The women running the herring counter at Dordrecht market were doing a roaring trade, cutting off heads, slicing open the fish, cleaning them up. The youngest of them paused for a moment to consider what for her was the most important issue in Wednesday's general election. \"We should get out of the European Union. We pay too much money for other countries.\" Was it a coincidence that her platinum blonde hair bore a remarkable resemblance to that of the leader and founder of the right-wing nationalist Freedom Party - Geert Wilders? Mr Wilders has been campaigning on exactly that issue. Ditch the euro, bring back the old Dutch guilder. Get out of the European Union. For a country that has been at the heart of European integration efforts almost ever since World War II ended, that might appear to be political suicide. Political cowardice Mr Wilders came to prominence - and a position of influence - because of his anti-immigrant stance. In parliamentary elections two years ago, his party took 15% of the vote. He chose not to join the government then, preferring instead to give it the majority it needed to govern by pledging his support from outside the cabinet. It was his decision earlier this year to end that support, at the eleventh hour of negotiations about public sector cuts, that brought down the government and led to this election. He withdrew, he said, because he disagreed with \"European diktats\" that required the Netherlands to cut its deficit. The government accused him of political cowardice. So too did many Dutch voters. He is not the only one touting a Eurosceptic message. The hard-left Socialist Party's Emile Roemer was for a while the surprise front-runner, with a \"no more money to Greece\" message, and a pledge to ignore those so-called \"European diktats\". The polls suggest these two parties are vying for third and fourth place - neither is likely to win. But the support they are commanding shows that concern about the direction in which the EU is moving is widespread even in the Netherlands. The two leading candidates are the former prime minister, the right-of-centre Mark Rutte, and the centre-left Labour Party's Diederik Samsom. As Mr Rutte strode around Dordrecht market recently, handing out leaflets and posing for photographs, he said it was his job to sell Europe to the Dutch. \"We are a trading nation and we are trading with Greece, Spain, Italy, Portugal and Ireland,\" he said. \"These are all important allies for us in terms of our trading. This is what the European Union is all about. A strong market with a strong currency. So it is in our interests to help as long as these countries are doing everything necessary to improve the situation.\" 'Anti-Brussels' Down at the docks in Rotterdam, the largest port in Europe, cranes swing into action, unloading \"Edith\" - the world's biggest container ship, which has just come into the port. Rotterdam is one of the most economically important cities on the continent. Vital for the European Union - dependent on it too. Even here though there are concerns. \"Germany, France, Belgium - that's one Europe. But in Spain, they have a siesta - it's about four hours sleeping in the afternoon. That's nice - but we pay for it,\" said one of the dock workers, Martijn van Willigen. So what of Wilders' line about leaving the EU? Another worker, Ron van Drunen, says that was taking it a step too far. \"We need to be at one with Europe, for our work in the port as well. I'd like to see a Europe with northern Europe and southern Europe. I think that's the best.\" The question many are asking now is how the EU benefits them. Indeed even whether it does. This perhaps says as much about the inability of Brussels to sell its purpose to its people, as it does about the lasting power of the nation state and how citizens identify with it. Euroscepticism is not the same force in the Netherlands as it is in Britain. For most Dutch questioning Europe, it is about making the EU work for them, not leaving it. The Dutch have had their moments of \"anti-Brussels\" behaviour before, but the increasing concern and confusion about the euro crisis, and Europe's response to it, may prove to be something longer-lasting.",

After speaking to specialist doctors, the couple were given the weekend to consider terminating the pregnancy but Mrs Martin told This Morning her reaction was \"automatically, I don't want to let her go just yet\". The couple said they had taken the decision to give birth to their daughter, who they have already named Ava-Joy, to help others in need of a transplant. It is likely that their baby's heart valves will be used to help other seriously-ill children. \"With the heart valves they can store them up to ten years,\" Mrs Martin told the show. \"Anything is better than nothing. I know she can't donate proper organs but tissue is just as valuable.\" Angie Scales, a NHS organ donation and transplantation nurse, said around 10 to 15 families a year ask about the possibility of donation in relation to their unborn child. She said: \"However, proceeding to actual donation in these cases is extremely rare due to the complexities of the processes that are required.\" Three people a day, including children, die waiting for a transplant, she added. The couple said the support they had received through a specialist charity in Leeds had helped them bond with their unborn daughter. The charity funded a blood test to enable them to find out the sex of the baby so they were able to give her a name and buy clothes to dress her once she is born. The Martins said they were starting a charity project in Ava-Joy's memory to help other families who decided to carry to term, despite a fatal diagnosis. \"It was not an easy decision but it was the right decision and it has helped me cope with the heartbreak,\" said Mrs Martin. \"A part of her will live on, she won't be completely gone. She will be alive in somebody else.\"",

            "input": "That's the opinion of filmmaker Michael Moore, whose new documentary Farenheit 11/9 is released in the UK on Friday 19 October. He believes that a \"youth uprising\" has been taking place since the election of Donald Trump in 2016 and the mass shooting at a school in Parkland, Florida, this year. \"They marched on Washington DC in the largest single-day demonstration in the history of the country, and they have been active all summer and fall,\" he told Radio 1 Newsbeat. \"I think we're going to hopefully see some change as a result of this youth uprising.\" Newsbeat spoke to some of the teenagers organising against gun laws in the aftermath of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas shooting, but there's a country-wide opportunity to make change coming in November. Americans will be voting in the mid-term elections on the 6 November to decide who will sit in Congress - similar to MPs. President Donald Trump himself is not up for re-election, but his ability to govern in the final two years of his first term will hinge upon the outcome. And Michael, whose film looks primarily at what he thinks led to Trump's election, believes that for the first time in a long time the rival Democratic Party have political candidates young people can be happy voting for. \"The time of these old white guys ruling the world is over,\" he said. \"The young generation coming up is a generation being led in large part by women, by people of colour, and by an age group that has a lot to lose if they don't fix what's going on right now.\" He's talking about people like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a 28-year-old working-class woman from a Puerto Rican family, who beat a veteran Democrat to become a candidate for her New York district in June. Or Ammar Campa-Najjar, a Mexican-Palestinian-American who's fighting to oust a Republican in California. Michael Moore says that in previous years, candidates like these haven't existed. \"We have 100m people in the US that don't vote because they've given up. They don't see either party as representing them.\" And he thinks that feeling disengaged because of a lack of representation - in both America and the UK - is a situation people need to be \"vigilant\" about. In his film, there's a scene where we see Adolf Hitler addressing a rally in Germany. But he's not speaking in German - instead, it's Donald Trump's voice and words leaving his mouth. The intended comparison seems obvious. But Moore says he's more concerned about comparing people \"in the UK and the US right now to the people of Germany in 1933\". \"The comparisons are striking in terms of how easy it was in otherwise liberal democracies for a leader to first get elected, and then take over. \"It's why eternal vigilance by the people over the leaders is the way this has to work - the leaders have to be our servants, not the other way around. \"I think the film does a really good job of showing people, regardless of what country you live in, just how much we have to be on top of things.\" As a result, Moore welcomed Taylor Swift's recent intervention into American politics - where she revealed her political leanings for the first time. \"I was so impressed and so moved by her statement, and I think a lot of people were too. I think that she now may be a very strong force - a gale force wind in this election.\" The US mid-terms take place on 6 November. Farenheit 11/9 is the latest documentary from Oscar-winning filmmaker Michael Moore, who over the course of his career has made films arguing against US gun culture, the war on terror, and capitalism. He holds the record for the highest-grossing documentary in US history, Farenheit 9/11, about the war on terror. But in America, where his latest doc has been out for a little while, reviews haven't been great. The New York Post called him \"irrelevant in the age of Trump\", Variety published a piece asking how he \"lost his audience\", and IndieWire went so far as to compare him to the subject of his documentary: Donald Trump himself.

As the pound falls to its lowest level against the dollar for 31 years, those dollar profits are worth more in pound terms. A goldilocks scenario for big multinationals headquartered and listed in the UK: FTSE 100 rockets. Simple. But that is not the whole story. If you look further down the business league table, you will find that shares in midsize and smaller firms are also surging. Fewer of them have foreign earnings so what's going on? Income search The explanation I've heard from several market experts goes something like this. If you believe we are headed for a \"hard brexit\" (leaving the single market), and you believe that will hurt the UK economy (which even Philip Hammond seems to accept in the short term), then it is more likely that the Bank of England will cut interest rates again and hold them at near zero for longer. That makes it even harder for investors to make any income at all. In the old days, they would buy bonds or put money on deposit. Not any more. If you need income, then dividends from shares in companies - of all sizes - are that much more attractive. We are in the peculiar but not uncommon position that fears over the economy push share prices UP. Finally I should make two things clear. First, the UK economy is yet to show any ill effects from the Brexit vote. Nevertheless, the chancellor thought it wise to brace us for the potential rollercoaster ahead. Second, markets are very far from being infallible. They got the referendum result spectacularly wrong so we should be careful about what they seem to be telling us now. Markets seem be joining the following dots. 1: The greater priority placed on immigration control (which has emerged from the Tory Party conference) will 2: make it harder for the UK to get access to the single market. That would 3: hurt the UK economy, prompting the Bank of England 4: to cut rates further and so 5: the pound falls. Theresa May and her ministers do not accept the link between (1) and (2).

The OLD told the BBC it had initially been approached by Locog (London Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games) which had been working with Eliasson on an outdoor-based project, but Eliasson's proposed Take A Deep Breath failed to fulfil that brief. The installation would have invited people to inhale and exhale on behalf of \"a person, a movement or a cause\" and record it on a website in a personal \"breath bubble\".

            "input": "By Joshua Cheetham & Daniele Palumbo Business reporters, BBC News The firm owns 6,500 retail outlets in 30 countries, including the UK's Poundland and furniture chains Bensons and Harveys. After revelations of accounting irregularities, Steinhoff's shares collapsed and executives resigned. Now, shareholders must decide whether to keep Steinhoff afloat or sell off assets to recoup some money. One person in the spotlight is Christo Wiese - Steinhoff's former chair and its largest shareholder. He's one of South Africa's richest businessmen - and one of its most respected, with a reputation for having something of a Midas touch. Mr Wiese holds a stake in investment firm Brait SE, which is a majority shareholder in several other UK businesses including Virgin Active and fashion retailer New Look. But since the scandal emerged earlier this month, the fall in the value of his investments has wiped out a large chunk of his net worth. Forbes estimated his fortune has plummeted from $5.8bn to $742m. Who is Christo Wiese? Mr Wiese was appointed chairman of Steinhoff in 2016 and had been a board member since 2013. But Mr Wiese resigned from his post last week to ease concerns about possible conflicts of interest between being chairman while also being Steinhoff's biggest shareholder. His son, Jacob, also stepped down from the board. Christo Wiese holds a 22% stake in the firm, a holding that came from the sale of his clothing retailer Pepkor to Steinhoff in 2014 for a combination of cash and shares. Mr Weise started Pepkor in 1965 but is best known for expanding South African grocery chain Shoprite from just six shops in the 1970s to hundreds of shops across the continent. The 76-year-old was also instrumental in turning Steinhoff into a global household retailer from its humble roots selling cheap furniture imported from communist eastern European countries. Steinhoff owns three British firms: discount retailer Poundland, and furniture chains Benson for Beds and Harveys. The South African tycoon also holds \"significant interests\" in investment company Brait SE, which has a controlling stake in three other British businesses: supermarket Iceland, fitness group Virgin Active and fashion retailer New Look. What is the scandal? Steinhoff has been under investigation for suspected accounting fraud by the state prosecutor in Oldenburg, Germany, since 2015, the year it listed on the Frankfurt stock market. Prosecutors say four current and former managers are under the spotlight. The firm has previously said the investigation is looking into whether revenues were booked properly and taxable profits were correctly declared. On 5 December, Markus Jooste resigned as Steinhoff's chief executive and the firm said it would be launching a probe into accounting irregularities. Its share price subsequently fell 63% in one day. On 7 December, auditors Deloitte said it wouldn't sign off on the company's latest results, prompting Steinhoff to announce it would need to restate its financial accounts for 2016 as they \"could no longer be relied upon\". The scandal has prompted several unnamed banks to sell 98.4 million Steinhoff shares they used as security against a €1.6bn loan to Mr Wiese to fund his purchase of additional shares in 2016. This has reduced his total stake in the company. Some red flags had been raised about Steinhoff's accounting practices in the past. In 2007, a report by analysts at JPMorgan Chase said Steinhoff's accounts lacked \"pivotal information\" about its sources of revenue. But it's argued that Mr Wiese's glowing reputation in the business community helped to stave off concerns about the company's financial health. \"There was this belief that Christo had the Midas touch and that whatever he invests in just escalates in price, and you just follow the calls he makes,\" Magda Wierzycka, chief executive of South African financial technology firm Sygnia Investment Management, told the BBC. What will happen now? But with investors now scrambling to decide whether to support Steinhoff, or dismantle it, Mr Wiese's reputation has taken a dent. Steinhoff owes creditors as much as $21bn (£15.68bn), and several global banks are facing the prospect of substantial losses. The firm is also in talks with its third biggest investor, the Public Investment Corporation (PIC), which is Africa's largest fund manager and administrates South Africa's government pensions. The pension schemes of millions of South Africans are on the line, but the PIC insists it \"remains financially healthy because of its diversified nature\". To ease concerns about its financial stability and recoup potential losses, Steinhoff has put €1bn of assets up for sale. It is also reportedly considering selling its stakes in PSG Group and KAP Industrial, worth $1.4bn. In addition, the firm's subsidiary Steinhoff Africa Retail says it's preparing to repay $1.2bn it owes to the parent company. What could happen to UK businesses affected by the scandal? Through Mr Wiese's stakes in Steinhoff and Brait SE, a number of British firms may be exposed. Shares in Brait SE have dipped in recent weeks, but not as sharply as Steinhoff's. \"I think these businesses stand on their own and trade reasonably robustly. The only impact has to do with [market] sentiment,\" says retail analyst Richard Hyman. He adds: \"Stock markets are not famous for their rationality. I'm not in any way saying this is a storm in a teacup. I'm saying this is something in a teapot and no-one knows quite sure what it is yet.\"",

India is often in the news for crimes against women and, according to government statistics, a rape is reported every 15 minutes. \"These cases go on for years in the courts before the guilty are punished, whereas when a cow is slaughtered, Hindu extremist groups immediately go and kill or beat up whoever they suspect of slaughter.\" The project, he says, is \"his way of protesting\" against the growing influence of the vigilante cow protection groups that have become emboldened since the Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, came to power in the summer of 2014. \"I've been concerned over the Dadri lynching [when a Muslim man was killed by a Hindu mob over rumours that he consumed and stored beef] and other similar religious attacks on Muslims by cow vigilantes,\" Ghosh said. In recent months, the humble cow has become India's most polarising animal. The BJP insists that the animal is holy and should be protected. Cow slaughter is banned in several states, stringent punishment has been introduced for offenders and parliament is considering a bill to bring in the death penalty for the crime. But beef is a staple for Muslims, Christians and millions of low-caste Dalits (formerly untouchables) who have been at the receiving end of the violence perpetrated by the cow vigilante groups. Nearly a dozen people have been killed in the past two years in the name of the cow. Targets are often picked based on unsubstantiated rumours and Muslims have been attacked for even transporting cows for milk. Ghosh, who is from the eastern city of Kolkata (formerly Calcutta), says he became aware of \"this dangerous mix of religion and politics\" only after he moved to Delhi a few years ago and that \"this project is a silent form of protest that I think can make an impact\". So earlier this month, during a visit to New York, he bought the cow mask from a party shop and, on his return, began shooting for the series, taking pictures of women in front of tourist hotspots and government buildings, on the streets and in the privacy of their homes, on a boat and in a train, because \"women are vulnerable everywhere\". \"I photographed women from every part of society. I started the project from Delhi since the capital city is the hub of everything - politics, religion, even most debates start here. \"I took the first photo in front of the iconic India Gate, one of the most visited tourist places in India. Then I photographed a model in front of the presidential palace, another on a boat in the Hooghly river in Kolkata with the Howrah bridge as the backdrop.\" His models have so far been friends and acquaintances because, he says, \"it's such a sensitive topic, it would have been difficult to approach strangers\". Two weeks ago when he launched the project on Instagram, the response was \"all positive. It went viral within the first week, my well wishers and even people I didn't know appreciated it.\" But after the Indian press covered it and put out their stories on Facebook and Twitter, the backlash began. \"Some wrote comments threatening me. On Twitter people started trolling me, some said I, along with my models, should be taken to Delhi's Jama Masjid [mosque] and slaughtered, and that our meat should be fed to a woman journalist and a woman writer the nationalists despise. They said they wanted to see my mother weep over my body.\" Some people also contacted the Delhi police, \"accusing me of trying to instigate riots and asking them to arrest me\". Ghosh is not surprised by the vitriol and admits that his work is an \"indirect comment\" on the BJP. \"I'm making a political statement because it's a political topic, but if we go deeper into the things, then we see that Hindu supremacy was always there, it has just come out in the open with this government in the past two years.\" The threats, however, have failed to scare him. \"I'm not afraid because I'm working for the greater good,\" he says. A positive fallout of the project going viral has been that he's got loads of messages from women from across the globe saying they too want to be a part of this campaign. So the cow, he says, will keep travelling.",

Many simply don't know how to make a complaint, others are actually scared of the consequences. Yet we often hear complaints referred to as 'gold dust' by hospital bosses in terms of improving services. You would think then that health and care organisations would be eager to hear from anyone who wanted to report a concern or complaint. However, our research suggests that tens of thousands of incidents are slipping under the radar because those who witness poor care and try to report it are being told, in one particular case, to \"mind their own business\". 'Civic-minded individuals' Responding to a Freedom of Information request, a third of hospitals across England told us that they don't record complaints from \"third parties\", ie those that witness rather than personally experiencing poor care. Many of the hospital trusts that replied incorrectly stated that such complaints cannot be investigated without the permission of the patient. Others said they record such incidents as informal feedback only, with no follow-up provided to the courageous and civic minded individuals complaining on behalf of vulnerable patients. In the worst cases some hospitals just flat out said they don't record these complaints. Even where these reports are recorded, they are often not included in formal stats allowing hospitals so their complaints data doesn't tell the true story. For me this is symptomatic of a much bigger problem around complaints handling in the NHS and social care services. The fact that doctors and nurses would rather tell one of these \"citizen whistleblowers\" they can't complain because they don't tick the right box or have the permission to make a complaint is just wrong. If a passer-by reports an abandoned bag in an airport, the staff don't say: \"I'm sorry sir, but do you have the permission of the bag owner.\" Rather they are thanked for their vigilance. If the policy makers and politicians are serious about driving culture change in the NHS then more needs to be done to wipe out this 'compute says no' attitude and encourage staff to welcome feedback - positive and negative. 'Long hard look' With the secretary of state for health's update on progress against the recommendations of the Francis inquiry expected in the next few weeks, I implore him to take a long hard look at the complaints question. In our report, 'Suffering in Silence', we set out a vision for streamlining and refocusing the complaints system around what people want. Firstly, the system needs to make it easier for people to complain, including institutions understanding that everyone, including third parties, has the right to raise concerns. Secondly, every case should be dealt with compassionately, with a speedy, personalised response that actually addresses the poor experience and includes an outline of what happens next. Lastly, those who fail to up their game must be held to account by being put into \"special measures\" by the regulators, issued with financial penalties and ultimately being shut down and replaced. In short, it's time for the health and social care sector to get serious about complaints, and stop finding loopholes to avoid having to face up to their mistakes.",

And previous lockdowns suggest both pubs and restaurants are facing a longer route back to normality than other sectors hit by periods of closure. Recently, one group of scientists advising the government warned against reopening the sector before May. Although the government is aiming to give over-50s a first vaccine dose by the spring, that would still leave a large number of people unprotected, they argue. One of the scientists, Dr Marc Baguelin from Imperial College London, said even a partial reopening before then could mean \"unsustainable\" pressure on the NHS. The government has not set out when or how restrictions might be lifted - but is under increasing pressure to sketch out an exit plan. Other fixtures of the High Street, such as \"non-essential\" shops, have been earlier to reopen when restrictions have been eased previously. Pubs and restaurants are currently closed across the UK - apart from some Scottish islands, where they can open until 6pm but not serve alcohol. In a change from earlier lockdowns, pubs and bars in England and Northern Ireland now face a total ban on selling takeaway alcohol - previously described as a \"lifeline\" by the Society of Independent Brewers. Pubs can no longer offer takeaway pints for outside consumption in mainland Scotland, where drinking alcohol is now banned in public outdoor areas. Takeaway pints can be served in Wales but only if the premises already has a licence to do so. 'More sites lost' Kate Nicholls, chief executive of trade body UKHospitality, has said a May reopening would be later than the April restart the sector had anticipated. With the industry burning through half a billion pounds in cash each month of closure, she warned, there could be \"very little\" left to reopen if closures last that long. Latest industry monitoring figures released last week show the plight it is facing - with a net loss of almost 6,000 licensed premises last year, triple the tally in 2019. Graeme Smith, from AlixPartners, who compiled the data, noted that the coming months \"will likely see more sites lost for good\". \"Unlike the first lockdown, operators now don't have the benefit of a cash pile generated through the key Christmas trading period,\" he added. The stark closure statistics highlight how the duration of economic support, as well as the vaccination timetable, could be crucial in determining how long doors stay closed. The furlough wage support scheme is due to finish at the end of April - whilst business rates holidays for hospitality and leisure firms are due to end early in the same month in each of the UK nations. The end of March will also see the application period close for government-backed loans of up to £50,000 to smaller businesses under the \"bounce back\" scheme. 'Nothing coming in' Nigel Wright, who has run the Stags Head in central London for 15 years with his partner Joanne, says he is \"extremely worried\" about having to stay closed beyond April if business rates return. \"There's nothing coming in now, but you've still got to pay standing charges and rent,\" he adds. Like many others, he took out a \"bounce back\" government support loan and will also have to start paying interest on the repayments from June. As well as missing out on normally busy weeks in the run-up to Christmas, he has had to throw away supplies of bitter and has lager that will go bad in April. But he says he wants to avoid a repeat of the situation in December, when restrictions were lifted \"too quickly\" and he had to shut again 12 days after reopening. He adds that he would prefer a longer lockdown if it means he can reopen permanently, adding: \"What's the point of opening for two weeks?\" Government support has previously been extended, of course - but not in the context of a mass vaccination programme being under way. With the aim of vaccinating the four most vulnerable groups around a fortnight before March's Budget, ministers face a hard choice over precisely how long shutdowns should last. Hospitality groups have welcomed government support, including new cash grants of up to £9,000 per property announced earlier this month. After 10 months of closure or restricted trade, pubs and restaurant operators have called on the government to offer a clearer roadmap, setting out when they can resume trading. \"If it won't be until May, then it needs to extend financial support for them to survive and to brewers whose businesses also face jeopardy,\" said Emma McClarkin from the British Beer & Pub Association. \"Without such support, local pubs in communities across the country will be lost forever.\"",

Earlier this month, she posted about the need for \"me time\", in response to reports that she had checked in to a mental health facility to help her process the trauma. Referencing her recovery in her latest message, she wrote: \"I am trying to take a moment for myself, but everything that's happening is just making it harder for me. \"You may not know this about me, but I am strong, and stand up for what I want!

There was outrage, relief, excitement, anxiety. Everyone seemed to have an opinion. Marsha wrote that she'd be happy to send her son back to school. Then immediately another mum shared a news item about a teacher who'd tested positive for coronavirus. \"This is why I will be keeping Rosie safe at home with me - I'm not putting her life at risk,\" she wrote. A few other parents then sent thumbs-up and shocked-face emojis to show their approval of Rosie's mum's message. \"It felt very passive-aggressive,\" says Marsha, who said she didn't want her real name to be published because she couldn't face \"more drama\". The WhatsApp group she belongs to is for parents with a child in year one at a school in the Bristol area and is normally a source of useful information. But since the pandemic hit, it's become toxic, she says. \"People have been posting lots of screengrabs from Facebook which are full of misinformation about how the virus spreads and the risks to children,\" she says. \"But if you dare to try to correct anything or put things into perspective you get shot down and it is implied you are a bad parent. \"I'm trying to hold down a full-time job while also homeschooling two children - I find being judged by other parents on top of that very hard to deal with.\" Sophia, 25, had a similar experience when she commented on a Facebook group for single mums that her four-year-old daughter would be returning to preschool. She was branded \"selfish\" by another mum - and then she watched as that damning verdict was endorsed by \"likes\" from other members of the group. Normally this would be a very positive, empowering community says Sophia, who works full-time as a charity consultant, so it's a sign of how much times have changed. \"It showed me how much the lockdown is getting to people,\" she says. \"It feels as if the worst assumptions are being made about someone's reasons for sending their child back to school or nursery.\" Sophia's daughter has special educational needs and for weeks now she hasn't had access to her usual speech therapy. \"She learns a lot by being with other children so being at preschool is the next best thing for her,\" she explains. \"I could have a PhD in children's education and it would still be better for her to be around other children. There is no substitute for that.\" Parents who have decided to keep their children at home haven't escaped the crosshairs either. Harriet Shearsmith, founder of parenting website Toby & Roo, has an Instagram following of 116,000 and is one of the few \"mummy bloggers\" to have publicly stated her position on this divisive issue. She won't be sending her children back when the schools reopen in June, but when she explained this decision she was careful to add the caveat that she wasn't criticising other parents. \"If you fall into the group of people who are choosing differently to me or you simply don't have a choice, this isn't a judgement of you or a dismissal of your situation,\" she wrote. Some nonetheless responded witheringly that Harriet obviously didn't care much about her children's education - but as an experienced blogger she is accustomed to dealing with it. \"I've had comments, you know, 'You're going to be damaging your children,' or, 'You're just not very intelligent and a terrible mother.' That kind of thing is said, but I largely just ignore it,\" she says. \"Lockdown has made us all much quicker to lose our tempers. We are much more frayed and we are all in very stressful positions, regardless of what those positions might be.\" Fellow blogger Alison Perry says she has also noticed the ground shifting. \"It feels like all the social 'rules' have changed,\" she says. \"Everyone feels very differently about homeschooling and screen time and even just interpreting the government guidelines. I'm usually a very outspoken person but have found myself biting my tongue, because whatever I say, there will be someone there telling me I'm wrong or selfish.\" Liz, who lives near Cambridge, points to another possible explanation - people now have more time to spend on social media, she says, so any backlash gets amplified. Like Marsha and Sophia, she is planning on sending one of her children back to school on Monday. \"It's really difficult to know what the right decision is but we think that the benefits of our son going back to school outweigh the risk of him becoming ill,\" she says. She has been hurt by judgemental comments from other parents on her Facebook group, some of whom she's known for several years. \"Apparently those of us who are willing to send our children back to school when they reopen are sending them back to be 'guinea pigs' or 'canaries', to see if cases are going to rise again,\" she says. \"I said I found it offensive. That does imply that anyone who is happy to send their child back to school is throwing them to the wolves, so to speak, whereas actually we just want some normality for our children, and, you know, education and socialisation.\" When she made this point in response to a critic on Facebook she says she was accused of \"bullying\". The issue seems to have caused a deep divide, she notes with regret. She has now minimised her time on social media and advises other parents in her position to do the same. The parents on Marsha's group who are sending their children to school have taken a different approach - they have started avoiding the main group chat and talking among themselves instead. Mumsnet founder and CEO Justine Roberts: A few parents on Mumsnet who've made the decision to send their child back to school say they've felt bruised by the negative responses of family or friends, which seem to be driven by worries about the infection risk. Many people are highly dubious that the youngest children can really be prevented from sharing bugs and carrying them out into the community, and lots of people have picked up on teachers' concerns about whether schools have had enough time to prepare a really safe environment. It seems likely that people's responses are driven by understandable fear and uncertainty, but if you're a parent run ragged by nine weeks of homeschooling while attempting to hold down a job, other people's judgement is likely to be the last thing you need.

Oriel College says it will consult on the statue's future - and has decided to remove a plaque to Rhodes. The college says it does not \"condone his racist views or actions\". Global campaign The campaign to remove the Oxford statue follows a university protest in South Africa. A statue of Cecil Rhodes was attacked and then ultimately taken down at the University of Cape Town, after being identified by protesters as a symbol of a colonial, pre-apartheid era. Rhodes had been a strong advocate of colonial power in Africa. But his name is also attached to Rhodes Scholarships which bring overseas students to Oxford University - past beneficiaries include former US president Bill Clinton. The Rhodes Must Fall campaign in South Africa has been adopted in Oxford - and in the next six months the college will decide on what should happen to its statue. Among the options will be to leave it in place, to add some information explaining the historical context, or to remove the statue completely. Cecil Rhodes attended Oriel College and and left money to the college on his death in 1902. The college says his legacy might include the scholarships, but his \"values and world view stand in absolute contrast\" to a modern university. Oriel says the experience of ethnic minority students needs to improve at Oxford and that his links with the college do not reflect any \"celebration of his unacceptable views and actions\". A statement from the college says a plaque erected in his honour on a college building in 1906 will be taken down, pending the consent of the local council. The statue is also in a college building with listed status, which raises questions about what could be changed. \"In the short term, we have put up a temporary notice in the window of the High Street building, below the statue, clarifying its historical context and the college's position on Rhodes,\" says a college statement. International pattern The argument in Oxford is part of an international pattern of students challenging university symbols and accusing them of promoting a racist legacy. There has been a wave of protests in dozens of United States universities this autumn, many focusing on emblems which they accuse of racist links. At Harvard University, there have been campaigns to change a university emblem which includes the coat of arms of a slave-owning family. University house masters have also agreed to drop the title \"master\" because of its associations with slavery. At Amherst College, there has been a campaign against a mascot, based on an 18th Century general who had advocated killing the local Native American population by deliberately giving them smallpox. There have also been opponents of changing such symbols, who have argued that universities have to reflect the reality of views held in previous eras.",

His widow Geraldine Finucane challenged ex-prime minister David Cameron over his refusal to hold a public inquiry. The court said she had not shown that decision \"was made in bad faith\" and did not recommend a public inquiry. However it added that none of the previous inquiries into his death have been capable of establishing the full facts surrounding the killing. The court ruled that there has not been an \"Article 2 compliant inquiry\" into the death. Article 2 refers to an individual's right to life under the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). Supreme Court justice Lord Kerr said: \"There has not been an Article 2 compliant inquiry into the death of Patrick Finucane. \"It does not follow that a public inquiry of the type which the appellant seeks must be ordered.\" \"It is for the state to decide, in light of the incapacity of Sir Desmond de Silva's review and the inquiries which preceded it to meet the procedural requirement of Article 2, what form of investigation, if indeed any is now feasible, is required in order to meet that requirement.\" The Finucane family said the court had \"vindicated\" Mrs Finucane in her \"relentless campaign for justice\". Following the Supreme Court ruling, Taoiseach (Irish Prime Minister) Leo Varadkar said that a public inquiry must be established. The Irish government has consistently called for a public inquiry into Mr Finucane's murder. Judges also said a previous undertaking given to Mrs Finucane for an inquiry was \"clear and unambiguous\". She had a \"legitimate expectation\" a public inquiry would be held into his death, they said. Mr Finucane was shot by loyalist paramilitaries in front of his young family at their home in Belfast in February 1989. He was a high-profile solicitor who lived and worked in Belfast and convicted members of the IRA were among his clients. The judges said that none of the inquiries into Mr Finucane's death, including the review carried out by Sir Desmond de Silva, had the capability \"of establishing all the salient facts\" about his killing or the liability of those who were responsible for his death. What is a public inquiry and why are they held? Public inquiries are set up to uncover the truth following scandals or perceived injustices. The test that must be satisfied in order to hold an inquiry is that it is of \"public concern\". While often chaired by a judge, a public inquiry is not a court of law and cannot determine liability. The aim is that public inquiries are independent. The government decides whether to hold an inquiry in the first place, appoints its head, and has to agree what it is going to cover. Inquiries can then make recommendations about how things should change but governments do not have to accept them. An example of a public inquiry is the inquiry into the GP and serial killer Harold Shipman, chaired by Dame Janet Smith - a High Court judge. The judges added that Mrs Finucane had not shown that the government's decision against holding a public inquiry \"was made in bad faith or that it was not based on genuine policy grounds\". In 2011, the family met with then prime minister David Cameron. Mr Cameron failed to order a public inquiry but instead proposed a review conducted by a leading QC. In his 2012 review, Sir Desmond de Silva QC said the state had facilitated Mr Finucane's killing and made relentless efforts to stop the killers being caught. However, his report concluded there had been \"no overarching state conspiracy\". Mr Finucane's family argued that the report left many questions unanswered. 'Nothing less will suffice' Reacting to Wednesday's judgement, the family thanked the Supreme Court justices for their \"careful and respectful\" consideration of the case. Giving a statement outside the Supreme Court in London after the ruling, Geraldine Finucane said it was a \"historic moment\". She added: \"The British government now knows that it cannot conceal the truth any longer. They have now been told this by the highest court in the land. \"It is time for the murder of Pat Finucane to be properly and publicly investigated in a public inquiry. Nothing less will suffice.\" Peter Madden, of Madden & Finucane said that \"only a judicial public inquiry can deliver the objective, which is to uncover the truth of what actually happened\". They claim that an inquiry is the only way to establish the truth about what happened and to hold those responsible to account. Last June, Barry MacDonald QC told the five Supreme Court judges that the government had reneged on a promise to the Fincuane family to hold an inquiry. He told the judges the case was about the responsibility of the judiciary in the face of what he called a direct attack on the legal system. In February 2017, the Court of Appeal in Belfast dismissed an appeal against the decision not to hold a public inquiry, ruling that the government had acted lawfully.",

            "input": "By Jonathan AmosBBC Science Correspondent It is not known why the cavity exists or indeed if it holds anything of value because it is not obviously accessible. Japanese and French scientists made the announcement after two years of study at the famous pyramid complex. They have been using a technique called muography, which can sense density changes inside large rock structures. The Great Pyramid, or Khufu's Pyramid, is thought to have been constructed during the reign of Pharaoh Khufu between 2509 and 2483 BC. At 140m (460 feet) in height, it is the largest of the Egyptian pyramids located at Giza on the outskirts of Cairo. Khufu famously contains three large interior chambers and a series of passageways, the most striking of which is the 47m-long, 8m-high Grand Gallery. The newly identified feature is said to sit directly above this and have similar dimensions. \"We don't know whether this big void is horizontal or inclined; we don't know if this void is made by one structure or several successive structures,\" explained Mehdi Tayoubi from the HIP Institute, Paris. \"What we are sure about is that this big void is there; that it is impressive; and that it was not expected as far as I know by any sort of theory.\" The ScanPyramids team is being very careful not to describe the cavity as a \"chamber\". Khufu contains compartments that experts believe may have been incorporated by the builders to avoid collapse by relieving some of the stress of the overlying weight of stone. The higher King's Chamber, for example, has five such spaces above it. The renowned American archaeologist Mark Lehner sits on a panel reviewing ScanPyramids' work. He says the muon science is sound but he is not yet convinced the discovery has significance. \"It could be a kind of space that the builders left to protect the very narrow roof of the Grand Gallery from the weight of the pyramid,\" he told the BBC's Science In Action programme. \"Right now it's just a big difference; it's an anomaly. But we need more of a focus on it especially in a day and age when we can no longer go blasting our way through the pyramid with gunpowder as [British] Egyptologist Howard Vyse did in the early 1800s.\" One of the team leaders, Hany Helal from Cairo University, believes the void is too big to have a pressure-relieving purpose, but concedes the experts will debate this. \"What we are doing is trying to understand the internal structure of the pyramids and how this pyramid has been built,\" he told reporters. \"Famous Egyptologists, archaeologists and architects - they have some hypotheses. And what we are doing is giving them data. It is they who have to tell us whether this is expected or not.\" Much of the uncertainty comes down to the rather imprecise data gained from muography. This non-invasive technique has been developed over the past 50 years to probe the interiors of phenomena as diverse as volcanoes and glaciers. It has even been used to investigate the failed nuclear reactors at Fukushima. Muography makes use of the shower of high-energy particles that rain down on the Earth's surface from space. When super-fast cosmic rays collide with air molecules, they produce a range of \"daughter\" particles, including muons. These also move close to the speed of light and only weakly interact with matter. So when they reach the surface, they penetrate deeply into rock. But some of the particles will be absorbed and deflected by the atoms in the rock's minerals, and if the muon detectors are placed under a region of interest then a picture of density anomalies can be obtained. The ScanPyramids team used three different muography technologies and all three agreed on the position and scale of the void. Sébastien Procureur, from CEA-IRFU, University of Paris-Saclay, emphasised that muography only sees large features, and that the team's scans were not just picking up a general porosity inside the pyramid. \"With muons you measure an integrated density,\" he explained. \"So, if there are holes everywhere then the integrated density will be the same, more or less, in all directions, because everything will be averaged. But if you see some excess of muons, it means that you have a bigger void. \"You don't get that in a Swiss cheese.\" The question now arises as to how the void should be investigated further. Jean-Baptiste Mouret, from the French national institute for computer science and applied mathematics (Inria), said the team had an idea how to do it, but that the Egyptian authorities would first have to approve it. \"Our concept is to drill a very small hole to potentially explore monuments like this. We aim to have a robot that could fit in a 3cm hole. Basically, we're working on flying robots,\" he said. The muography investigation at Khufu's Pyramid is reported in this week's edition of Nature magazine. Jonathan.Amos-INTERNET@bbc.co.uk and follow me on Twitter: @BBCAmos",

Maplin - owned by Rutland Partners - had put the business up for sale, but talks with a potential buyer are understood to have broken down. Toys R Us was also seeking a possible sale but has failed to secure a buyer. Maplin has 200 stores and 2,500 staff in the UK, while Toys R Us employs about 3,000 workers in its 105 stores. Maplin in talks with potential buyers The toy chain in the UK - whose US owner filed for bankruptcy protection last September - is facing an imminent deadline for a £15m VAT bill which it will not be able to pay without selling the business. It had managed to stave off collapse in December by agreeing a rescue plan to allow it to restructure its operations, including the closure of at least 26 stores planned for this Spring. But with poor sales continuing into the new year and the VAT bill looming, the only route left for the firm to continue trading was to find a buyer which is now understood to be unlikely. Meanwhile, Maplin had been in talks with Edinburgh Woollen Mill, the clothing company that owns Peacocks, Country Casuals and several other retailers, over a possible sale, according to Sky News. The move came after insurers cut credit cover last year because of Maplin's falling profits. The breakdown of the sale talks means that administration is now the most likely outcome for the firm. High Street problems Toys R Us and Maplin are the latest of a string of well-known retailers to run into financial problems in recent months. Clothing chain New Look and department store chain House of Fraser are seeking financial support from landlords and other creditors. Meanwhile, bed retailer Warren Evans, Asian-inspired High Street fashion brand East and High Street furniture chains Feather & Black and Multiyork have all recently fallen into administration. Toys R Us in the UK has blamed its problems on its \"warehouse-style stores\". It opened these in the 1980s and 1990s, but it said in December that they had become \"too big and expensive to run in the current retail environment\". The UK business is understood to have made a loss for seven out of the past eight years of trading. Retail analyst Kate Hardcastle, from Insight With Passion, said both Toys R Us and Maplin had cut staffing to try to cut costs, which had led to poor service in the shops. She said for Toys R Us, the problem was particularly acute because it sold mainly branded goods. \"Therefore to succeed you need to offer some kind of differentiating factor - either a good discount or an experience that makes visiting the stores worthwhile. \"Toys R Us didn't move with the times. It didn't do discounts or retail theatre,\" she said.",

The 18% boost is in line with growth in previous years. Data for the report was gathered in November 2019, but updated with changes during the coronavirus lockdown, when speeds fell by 2%. Ofcom says the small decrease shows that performance \"is holding up well\" during the pandemic, despite the increased demand. The government began to ask people to stay at home on 16 March, so the speeds from the last week of March were compared to the beginning of the month. Virgin Media was the worst affected, with speed dipping by nearly 10% at one point - although the report noted that since Virgin has higher speeds than most providers, customers were unlikely to have noticed. The Ofcom report is compiled from a panel of volunteers who have the speeds measured from their routers, and is considered to be a very accurate way of measuring the data. Superfast connections The main body of the report, which covers the data from 2019, found that nearly three-quarters of UK homes have what Ofcom considers \"superfast\" broadband packages of 30Mpbs or higher. Real-world connection speeds are slightly lower, with 69% of people achieving 30Mbps or more. That includes the 17% of homes on 100Mbps or higher, and 3% achieve more than 300Mbps. On the lower end, 13% of homes are still on connections of 10mbps or less, and another 18% have speeds between 10-30mbps. Those numbers all refer to the proportion of people who are actually getting those speeds - not how widely available they are. The speeds and packages available to homes still depend on their physical address. Rural broadband, for example, broadly remains slower than the same technology in urban areas. Old-style ADSL (Asymmetric digital subscriber line) connections over copper wire, for example, are 36% higher in cities than outside them. But the gap between rural and urban connections is narrowing, the report found. Ofcom also launched a separate report on the same day on broadband availability - what is offered to homes, rather than what speeds are actually achieved. Full-fibre broadband is up by a fifth since last year, but is still only accessible to 12% of homes. Ultrafast broadband availability (300mpbs or higher) crept upward by 2% to 55% of households.",

            "input": "By Ian PollockPersonal finance reporter, BBC News So far the government has been having private negotiations with trade union leaders about its general plans but has not publicised some of the most important facts. But it is these details which are vitally important to understanding how much worse off public servants might be under the suggested new arrangements. The first point to grasp is that the government wants to change the current pension schemes in line with the recent suggestions of Lord Hutton. That would mean many employees being evicted from their existing schemes (mainly final-salary-related) into career-average ones, which should be less generous. They would also have to pay higher employee contributions. The NHS, local government, civil service and teachers' schemes would also have later retirement ages of 65 (rising later to 66 or even more in line with the state pension) whereas many staff are still currently able to bail out at 60 on a full pension. On the face of it, public servants are being invited to work longer, pay more but receive less. Accrual rate Actually, the government says its plans amount to working longer, paying more, but getting more or less the same as now. How can that be? After all, career-average schemes appear designed precisely to produce lower pensions than their final-salary counterparts. The first thing to note is that how much a career-average scheme pays out depends partly on just how fast pension builds up - the so-called accrual rate. It could be 1% of salary a year, or 2%, or almost any other figure. But the larger the number, the faster pension builds up, and thus contributions rates for both staff and employers have to be higher. For instance, the current civil service Nuvos scheme, open to new entrants to the civil service since July 2007, has a generous accrual rate of 2.3%. So someone who worked for 40 years before normal retirement, and whose salary never rose in that time, would accrue a pension worth 92% of their salary. Inflation-proofing It has been suggested that the government wants its new career-average schemes to have a much slower rate of accrual, possibly as low as 1% a year. That is partly to offset the cost of one of Lord Hutton's other key recommendations. He recommended that when staff in these schemes are building up pension, their accumulating pensions should be revalued each year in line with average earnings to protect them against inflation. It is argued by economists that in the long term, earnings rise faster than prices, so this would be a very advantageous feature. By contrast, annual revaluation in the Nuvos scheme is merely in line with the consumer prices index (CPI). \"If you have the same accrual rate but revalue accrued pensions in line with earnings, rather than prices, most people would be no worse off under a career-average scheme than they would be in their old final-salary one,\" said John Wright, an actuary with Hymans Robertson. Final-salary link This is not the only apparently generous detail among Lord Hutton's recommendations. He also said - and the government has agreed - that when staff leave their final-salary scheme for a career-average version, they should still continue to build up pension in their old scheme, even though they are no longer paying in any money. That is because Lord Hutton said that the eventual payout from the final-salary schemes should still continue to be related to that member's final salary on their eventual retirement. Normally, people leaving pension schemes, but not actually retiring, become deferred (in the jargon of the pension industry). This means their accumulated pension to date is calculated at the point of deferral. It is then uprated each year in line with inflation until they do retire, but crucially is no longer linked to their salary. So Lord Hutton's suggestion for the design of his huge change to the public-sector pensions - that deferred pensions should in fact retain a link to final salary - incorporates another unusual extra cost for the government to digest. Government contribution It is only when current scheme members and their trade union negotiators see the fine details of the government's proposed new pension plans that they will be able to see what they are getting for their higher contributions. They will need to examine not only the suggested accrual rates and the method of inflation-proofing during accrual, but also the level of inflation-proofing for pensions in payment, as well as the retirement age and early-retirement penalties. Vitally, they will also need to see just how much the government plans to pay in as well. All these figures will need to be published, and understood, before anyone can decide just how fair, or unfair, the government's intentions are.",

They are demanding a full pay-out of $1.3bn (£766m) on the bonds they hold. A US judge has ruled that the \"hold-outs\" must be paid by Wednesday night if no deal is agreed. But thousands of miles away in Buenos Aires, many are sceptical that there can be any agreement. The government's rhetoric has been clear. The \"hold-outs\" are US hedge funds that bought debt on the cheap during Argentina's darkest hours and never agreed to restructuring. President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner calls them vultures, accusing them of taking advantage of Argentina's debt problems to make a big profit. What makes the problem worse is that if the \"hold-outs\" get their way, other bondholders who agreed to take cuts of up to 70% in what they are owed may also demand full repayment. Ask people on the street about their view on Argentina's debt troubles and most admit it is too complicated for them to understand. But the two words they do know are \"fondos buitres\" - \"vulture funds\" in Spanish. Default again? Despite the defiant tone of the government, many people seem resigned. Argentina has defaulted before and it will do it again. I met Carina Etchegaray, the mother of two children aged 14 and 16. When Argentina last defaulted at the end of 2001, she lost huge amounts of savings. She had wanted to buy a house for her young family. But at the end of 2001, the government introduced what was known as the \"corralito\". It literally means a small enclosure in Spanish, but refers to when the government partially froze bank accounts and people were stopped from taking money out. \"When we finally had the money, because of devaluation, we could only buy a car for the same quantity of money we had for a house,\" she says. But she is also practical. \"We live with this shadow of crisis. You have to continue with your life because you have children and have to work. \"You have to adapt - in this country, it's the way of life.\" And that is what entrepreneur Federico Dumas is doing too - but not in the way that Argentina would hope. He has a software company, but says he is not investing as he would like to. \"I'm afraid of everything and my customers are not willing to invest, so that will affect my business,\" he says, adding that he is hopeful Argentina's problems will be solved reasonably. \"But if the country goes into default, I'm very afraid of what's going to happen to my business and my employees.\" 'Never imagined this' Default or not, when I met Guillermo Nielsen, the man who led the negotiations when the country was restructuring its debts in 2005, he said what is happening in Argentina is something he had never foreseen. \"I never imagined this - not in my wildest dreams,\" he says. \"People, although they were unsatisfied and they were very tough negotiations, they knew that Argentina was not able to pay, so that's a very big difference. \"Today, Argentina has the money - back then, we didn't have the money. In my own perception, I think the incoming negotiations are going to be much tougher than the ones we had to go through.\" His worry is that if the country defaults, it could trigger what is known as an acceleration clause. It would mean creditors could make Argentina repay bonds within a much shorter timeframe than previously set out. That, he says, is a real concern. But all this is speculation. With just a few hours to go, no decisions have been made and it is all still talk. The detail of what has been discussed is still unclear. As people here say, the Argentine way of doing things will mean talks until the 11th hour. The vultures will keep circling until then.",

A former classmate of the couple's eldest daughter has said she was relentlessly bullied in school. Taha Muntajibuddin described her in a Facebook post as \"a frail girl\" who wore the same purple outfit every day. Mr Muntajibuddin, who attended nursery with her in Fort Worth, Texas, wrote that he felt \"an overwhelming sense of guilt and shame\" when learning about the conditions his former classmate experienced at home. How can parents torture their children? He wrote: \"You can't help but feel rotten when the classmate your peers made fun of for 'smelling like poop' quite literally had to sit in her own waste because she was chained to her bed.\" Mr Muntajibuddin, who realised he went to Meadowcreek Elementary School with the eldest daughter when reading the news of the Turpin case, described her clothes as looking as though they had been dragged through mud. \"It is nothing but sobering to know that the person who sat across from you at the lunch table went home to squalor and filth while you went home to a warm meal and a bedtime story,\" Mr Muntajibuddin wrote. He said the eldest Turpin child was often called the \"cootie kid\" and teased continually by her classmates. \"I distinctly remember my entire third grade class scoffing at her one day because our teacher had asked her to discard a scrunchy she had used to tie her hair out of a discarded tin foil wrapper from an old Hershey's bar,\" he said. The eldest son of Turpins reportedly attended classes at a community college in San Jacinto, California, where a classmate has described him as withdrawn and visibly hungry, according to a local media. Angie Parra, a classmate at the Riverside County college, told NBC Los Angeles the young man was \"sweet but odd\" and always wore the same clothes. According to ABC News, the unnamed Turpin son had achieved a 3.93 grade point average, equivalent to an A grade. The 13 siblings were allegedly kept in squalid conditions in their home, often chained to beds and unable to use the toilet, until the couple's 17-year-old daughter escaped on 14 January and alerted the authorities. It has been reported in local media that the Turpins were due to move within days of the daughter's escape. Mr Turpin, 57, was said to have received a job transfer to Oklahoma with a defence contractor, Northrop Grumann. The 'happy family' at centre of torture allegation About 20 people from across the country, including nurses and psychologists, have offered to care for the seven adult siblings and six children. The Riverside University Health System Foundation, which is collecting donations for the children, has received 1,500 contributions that total $120,000 (£84,400), according to spokeswoman Kim Trone. Prosecutors detailed some of the horrific allegations against the parents in a news conference, including frequent beatings of their children, only allowing one shower a year, and keeping them chained to their beds. The siblings, age two to 29, were found in an emaciated state by authorities in their home in Perris, according to police. Officers had at first thought all the children were minors until they realised some were frail and malnourished adults. Mr Muntajibuddin said that despite being bullied, the Turpin girl \"was still one of the most pleasant people I have had the opportunity to meet\". \"She had this whimsical optimism to her that couldn't be dampened, couldn't be doused no matter what anybody threw at her,\" he added.

Here's a translation: Alex: \"Siri, gay clubs around me? Siri: \"I would have turned red (blushed) if I could.\" Alex: \"How to register a gay marriage in the UK?\" Siri: [Silence] Alex: \"How to register a gay marriage in the UK?\" Siri: \"I will pretend I haven't heard it.\" You get the idea. Apple says Siri's responses were the result of a bug that has since been fixed. But the online discussion in English reflected the fact that gay rights and homophobia in Russia are now an issue very much discussed in the outside world. There was an assumption that Siri had been deliberately set up this way to comply with Russian law. \"Apple is required to conform to the law of the land in order to sell devices in a place. Recognizing that is realism, not cynicism,\" said one Reddit user. Comments in Russian were much more angry in tone - some homophobic and others questioning Western interest in the subject. Alex, who's originally from Russia but now lives in the UK, told BBC Trending that he discovered Russian Siri's \"attitude\" by accident. \"I was out with friends who'd updated their phones to the latest version of iOS,\" he said. \"Russian Siri was one of the new features available. So we made queries using the word 'gay' and got very weird replies. We also got similar responses with the word 'lesbian',\" he says. A BBC Russian team asked Siri similar questions and got the same response. You can read their article about it (in Russian) here. Gay rights are a contentious subject in Russia, after a law banning gay \"propaganda\" was passed in 2013. It prohibits people from giving information about homosexuality to those under 18. \"I can understand if a company needs to adapt to the legislation of a country,\" says Alex. \"Apple fixed it. But there hasn't been an explanation as to how it happened in the first place.\" Blog by Anne-Marie Tomchak If you like stories like this from BBC Trending, take a second to vote for us - we've been nominated for a Webby Award.

            "input": "By Ciaran JenkinsBBC Wales education correspondent Rayat London College has been raided by the UKBA and will not be allowed to recruit students from overseas. BBC Wales revealed members of staff had been involved in offers to help overseas students cheat their way to UoW degrees and UK visas. The UKBA said the college would remain suspended while it investigated. Further documents obtained by BBC Wales also reveal that at least one cohort of around 90 overseas students were set to benefit, having sat exams in early August for which the answers were available for sale. The exams were held at Lampton College, Hounslow, west London, which the UKBA has also suspended. The exam board, Professional Qualifications Management, was run by Irvin Harris, who was registrar at Rayat London College, also in Hounslow, which offers UoW-validated courses. In a secret recording he claimed he could help overseas students cheat their way to UoW degrees in order to qualify for sought-after graduate work visas, which are being abolished in April 2012. An undercover reporter purchased answers to PQM exam papers but did not sit the tests. BBC Wales understands a lecturer on UoW courses at Rayat London College, Surya Medicherla, was also the chief examiner of PQM. The questions and answers to all eight modules of the 15 month course were handed out in a revision class Mr Medicherla ran, which the reporter attended. He told students how to complete the tests and what to say under interrogation from the UK Border Agency. Word for word BBC Wales has now obtained documents which show the papers were the same as those sat by around 90 overseas students just a few days later, with the candidates all submitting virtually identical answers. Some students received a pass for submissions which included phrases such as \"answers should include\" and \"this questions requires students to\", indicating they simply copied out the answer sheets word for word. The diploma entitles students to entry on university MBA courses with exemptions from up to two thirds of the work. The lecturer encouraged students to use the diploma to enrol on a UoW MBA course at Rayat London College. Mr Harris has resigned as registrar of the college and as chief executive of PQM, and the college has suspended the lecturer Mr Medicherla and admissions officer, Jalak Mody, who all deny any wrongdoing. Direct entry The UoW has refused to answer questions about its links with Rayat London College and PQM, saying it would be inappropriate to comment while UK Border Agency and police investigated. In a statement issued four days after a BBC Wales' investigation earlier this month it said: \"The non-UoW certificates allegedly acquired by students allowed them to claim credit in order to enter degrees at any university in the UK.\" BBC Wales has also obtained a letter from the UoW to Rayat London College giving it the right to enrol students who have PQM qualifications on its MBA course with exemptions from most of the work. The letter, dated 1 September 2011, was from David Orford, who was employed as the university's moderator, responsible for overseeing the partnership with the college. It is understood Mr Orford, who was associate dean of the Business School at the UoW Newport, was a member of the panel which re-validated courses at Rayat London College for a further five years in July 2011. He wrote: \"I can confirm that the UoW does accept PQM as an acceptable qualification for direct entry onto the latter stages of the MBA, with students normally expected to study two modules plus the dissertation in order to complete the award. \"The awarding/validating body must be recognised and seen as have (sic) appropriate quality and standards. PQM fits this criterion.\" No response The letter was dated the same day Mr Orford ended his duties with the UoW and took up a new role as academic director at Rayat London College. Neither Mr Orford nor the college have responded to BBC Wales' questions about the letter. In an earlier statement the college said it wished to disassociate itself from any alleged wrongdoing. Meanwhile, the UK Border Agency says its investigation is ongoing after it raided a number of premises in response to BBC Wales' story. A spokesman said: \"We have carried out visits to Rayat and Lampton Colleges and they are currently unable to bring in new students while our investigations are ongoing.\" The vice chancellors of six of the 10 Welsh universities want the UoW brand to be scrapped while three of its five full member institutions plan to award their own degrees as soon as possible. Education Minister, Leighton Andrews has said the university needed a \"decent burial\" and has called on its chairman D Hugh Thomas to resign. The UoW, which is the second largest in the UK with 70,000 students in 130 colleges around the world, said it would adopt a new international strategy and promised to build a \"transformed university built upon strong governance\".",

            "input": "Thousands have gathered in a stadium to pay their respects to veteran opposition leader Etienne Tshisekedi. Mr Tshisekedi died in Belgium in February 2017, aged 84, but his body stayed there because of a row with former President Joseph Kabila. The deadlock ended when his son, Félix, became president last year. The Martyrs' Stadium in Kinshasa erupted in cheers on Friday afternoon as the casket containing Etienne Tshisikedi's remains entered, says the BBC's Gaius Kowene. Supporters of Etienne Tshisekedi screamed and blew whistles in the 80,000-capacity arena. The presidents of Rwanda and Angola were among the dignitaries present. A troubled journey The campaign to bury Tshisekedi's remains in his home country faced obstacles from President Félix Tshisekedi's predecessor, Joseph Kabila. For his supporters, Tshisekedi coming home represents a victory over the former government, our correspondent says. Last-minute delays also hampered the body's journey from Brussels to DR Congo capital city, Kinshasa. Belgian news agency Belga said organisers had initially planned to rent an Airbus A330 with enough space for the coffin and 270 passengers, including veteran members of Tshisekedi's party, the Union for Democracy and Social Progress (UDPS). A government official told AFP news agency this was cancelled due to \"issues over the organisation of the flight\". A smaller private jet flew later with the body on board and 10 members of Tshisekedi's family, leaving dozens of others stranded in Belgium. The plane was reportedly lent by President Faure Gnassingbé of Togo. Mourning begins On Thursday evening, the plane touched down in Kinshasa airport and was greeted by a delegation led President Félix Tshisekedi. Some supporters waited at the airport with placards bearing the slogan \"Le peuple d'abord,\" French for \"people first\", when his body arrived on Thursday. Many wore white clothes to symbolise that Tshisekedi was clean from corruption. His body was taken away on a hearse decorated with national colours, with several thousand onlookers waiting outside the airport. But the privately owned Actualité news site says a man was killed by a police pick-up truck as the procession drove through Kinshasa's Limete neighbourhood - a stronghold of the veteran leader. The schedule of mourning includes a religious service, a public display of the closed casket and a rally on Friday at the Martyrs' Stadium. Moss Lenga, spokesperson for the Tshisekedi funeral committee, told the BBC that religious leaders would inspect the body to confirm it was Etienne Tshisekedi. A state funeral will take place on Saturday in the town of Nsele, east of Kinshasa. Six African heads of state are expected to attend, including those of Angola, Rwanda and Congo-Brazzaville. A life of opposition Tshisekedi spent decades in politics but failed in several attempts to become president. He served as interior minister in the regime of Mobutu Sese Seko, before joining the political opposition. After serving time in prison, he founded the UDPS in 1982 and was appointed several as prime minister by Mobutu, though the two frequently clashed. In 1997, Mobutu was ousted as leader in a rebellion led by Joseph Kabila's father, Laurent. Tshisekedi became an opponent of the new regime, and of Joseph Kabila after Laurent Kabila was assassinated in 2001. He boycotted DR Congo's elections in 2006, alleging vote fraud, and was beaten in a 2011 race marked by allegations of widespread voting irregularities. Félix Tshisekedi won a bitterly contested election last year. It marked the first peaceful transition of power since DR Congo gained independence from Belgium in 1960. However, several observer groups believe that another opposition candidate, Martin Fayulu, was the rightful winner. Since coming to power, President Tshisekedi has agreed to work with the party of former President Joseph Kabila.",

White, 52, who is transitioning, was described as a \"predator\" who was a danger to women and children. She must serve a minimum of nine-and-a-half years for rape, sexual assault and wounding, Leeds Crown Court was told. The court heard White, who was born male and now identifies as a woman, used her \"transgender persona\" to put herself in contact with vulnerable women. Passing sentence, Judge Christopher Batty said: \"You are a predator and highly manipulative and in my view you are a danger. \"You represent a significant risk of serious harm to children, to women and to the general public.\" White was on remand at HMP New Hall for other offences when she attacked the two women between September and October last year. She was moved to a male prison after pleading guilty to the offences in September. She also is highly unlikely to be moved back into a women's prison due to the risk she poses even if she were to be legally declared a woman, the BBC understands. The court heard White has previous convictions for indecent assault, indecent exposure and gross indecency involving children, violence and dishonesty. Prosecutor Christopher Dunn told the court: \"She is allegedly a transgender female. \"The prosecution say allegedly because there's smatterings of evidence in this case that the defendant's approach to transitioning has been less than committed. \"The prosecution suggest the reason for the lack of commitment towards transitioning is so the defendant can use a transgender persona to put herself in contact with vulnerable persons she can then abuse.\" White, who was born Stephen Wood and is originally from the Manchester area, was first arrested last August after attacking a 66-year-old neighbour with a steak-knife in Mytholmroyd. While on remand at HMP New Hall, she began gender re-alignment, wearing a wig, make-up and false breasts. She also admitted to probation officers she was sexually interested in children and could abuse a child and \"think nothing of it\". 'Spiked drink' The two counts of rape did not come to light until one of the victims came forward after White wrote to her from prison. The woman, in her 20s, said White had violently raped her five or six times between January and December 2016, after meeting at a psychiatric unit in West Yorkshire. Investigators also discovered White had raped a woman in 2003 when she was two months pregnant. The court heard White attacked her after spiking her drink with vodka until she passed out. White was arrested but no information was given in court as to why he was not prosecuted at the time. A Prison Service spokesman said: \"We apologise sincerely for the mistakes which were made in this case. \"While we work to manage all prisoners, including those who are transgender, sensitively and in line with the law, we are clear that the safety of all prisoners must be our absolute priority.\" Det Insp David Rogerson said: \"White has pleaded guilty to a number of serious sexual offences which span many years. \"We are pleased to see White appropriately sentenced by the courts for what are very serious offences.\"",

Youth Sport Trust, which organised a National School Sport Week at Home in June, said: \"We wanted to ensure young people still felt that sense of fun they get from school sports days and that sports days do not get cancelled completely this year.\" So what have pupils been up to while abiding by lockdown rules? PE teachers in Blackburn have been setting the students a \"beat the teacher\" challenge each day for the pupils to do at home. The students then send in their scores to compare to the teachers' results. Hollie Southward, one of the PE teachers, said they were activities suited for the home. Noah in year 7 took on a speed bounce challenge to see how many bounces he could do over a broom in 30 seconds and also competed in an obstacle course. Priestley Smith School in Birmingham, a specialist school for vision impaired pupils, got children to try tea bag throwing and teachers read a sport-themed bed time story to pupils, explained Chloe Manley. Some pupils have not been back at school for weeks so it was an ideal opportunity to engage with the children at school and at home, added Mrs Manley. The PE lead at St Breock Primary School in Wadebridge, said a sports week helped the children at home \"connect with us at school\". When they told the children about the plans \"the excitement was unbelievable\", said James Ross from Cornwall. Children at school and home competed in similar activities with those taking part in school all having separate PE equipment bags to keep them safe. In Kent, a reception class has been practicing a socially distanced egg and spoon race ahead of a full school sports event. Pupils at Valley Invicta Primary School will be able to earn points for their house before the winner is announced at the end of the week. The sports day activities have been designed to abide by social distancing rules. Pupils in Edinburgh have been trying home high jumping with toilets rolls and tennis ball and spoon races. \"We ensured that all events could be completed in any space that families had available and that any items of equipment needed were easily found in any house,\" explained PE and sport director Mike Leonard, from George Watson's College. The teachers recorded some events alongside the school mascot, Rex, for the pupils to try at home, aiming to make the day as inclusive and fun as possible. Teachers in Cornwall have been preparing challenges for their students to try at home, such as toilet roll keepy uppies and tea bag throwing. PE director at Mounts Bay Academy, Ian Veal, said they were avoiding traditional sports day activities to \"hopefully include all pupils\" and not exclude any without equipment at home. After all the tutor groups have completed the sports day activities, the PE department will add up the scores and announce the winners. In Sheffield, Tajman had \"great fun\" taking part in her first sports day, including doing an obstacle course in the garden. The four-year-old's father said they had been \"keeping her active\" during lockdown with lots of different activities outside. Girls High School Sheffield asked its pupils to carry out five different activities. Head of PE Steve Wareham said: \"As soon as we knew sports day was going to be missed this year, my PE team were really keen to try and do something.\" The staff at Chelmer Valley High School in Essex made sure all the activities could be done individually and easily at home, such as speed bouncing, sock throwing and chair squatting.

Police officers claimed they feared the occupants were armed with a sub-machine gun to rob a Colombian drugs gang. Leslie Thomas, counsel for Mr Rodney's mother Susan Alexander, said the facts were \"chilling\". 'Demonstrable untruths' In his closing speech to the inquiry, Mr Thomas said the forensic evidence showed that the police had provided a false account of the precise sequence of events. He said officers had told \"demonstrable untruths\" as to why Mr Rodney was shot outside a busy pub in north London. Mr Thomas said that the undercover operation to stop the feared robbery had been an \"extraordinary failure\" because Mr Rodney was not given the chance to surrender. Although police did not find machine guns in the car, officers did recover other firearms. The other two people in the vehicle, Frank Graham and Wesley Lovell, were subsequently jailed for possession of firearms. Samantha Leek QC, counsel for an officer identified only as E7, who opened fire on Mr Rodney, argued that he had honestly believed Mr Rodney was reaching for a machine gun. She said E7 had to shoot to protect himself and his colleagues. 'Protecting life' Anne Studd QC, for the Metropolitan Police, told the inquiry that it was too easy to say, with the benefit of hindsight, that the force had made fatal mistakes. She said the team had taken decisions aimed at protecting life, rather than taking it. Ms Studd said the way events had occurred showed how difficult such operations were for highly trained officers, forced to making dynamic decisions when faced by dangerous men. Ms Alexander said: \"This has been a long and difficult process, but I am glad that there has finally been some public scrutiny of the circumstances in which my son was killed. \"In the new year I would like to see the chairman make the strongest possible findings when he delivers his report, given the damning evidence and expert opinion that has been heard during the course of the inquiry.\" An inquiry is being held into Mr Rodney's death instead of an inquest because of sensitive intelligence information that would have to be withheld from a coroner.

Mr Depardieu and Mr Putin shook hands and hugged each other at the meeting in Sochi. The actor was later invited to set up home in the central Russian region of Mordovia, known for its Stalin-era prison camps. Local governor Vladimir Volkov said Mr Depardieu could choose an apartment or a place to build a house, Interfax news agency reported. After arriving in Mordovia's main city of Saransk, the actor showed of his new passport, saying: \"I am very happy, it's very beautiful here.

The shocking 2015 allegations led to calls for an inquiry into policing. The story in Quebec is unfolding as law enforcement across the country is under growing scrutiny of the relationship between police and First Nations people in Canada. The high-profile case began last year, when a number of women went public with their allegations to investigative news program \"Enquete\", describing intimidation, abuse of power, and sexual and physical abuse by provincial police stationed in Val d'Or, a town of 31,000 people some 530km (330 miles) northwest of Montreal. Soon after, the Quebec government ordered a wide-ranging inquiry into the allegations, with the investigation handled by Montreal police. Six Quebec provincial police officers from Val d'Or were suspended with pay during the investigation. The police eventually handed over 37 files to Crown prosecutors. On Friday, the Crown gave a rare explanation of its decision not to press charges at a news conference in Val d'Or, saying they hoped the transparency would help bolster faith in the process. Prosecutors said they had no reason not to believe the women's allegations but did not think they could prove them in court. \"We have to be clear that the fact that charges have not been laid doesn't mean that the events did not take place. The burden on the Crown is very high. We have to show that the suspect is guilty beyond reasonable doubt,\" said Sylvain Petitclerc. The Crown said in a number of cases there was insufficient evidence to identify a suspect. In other cases, they failed to find enough overall evidence. In three cases, the allegations were made by a third party and later denied by the potential complainant. In one instance the suspect had died. The Crown did file charges against two retired police officers from Schefferville, another rural Quebec community, on alleged crimes dating back to the 1980s and 1990s. But Edith Cloutier, with the Val-d'Or Native Friendship Centre, called Val d'Or \"ground zero\" for the accusations, and said the lack of charges has renewed calls for an independent inquiry into systemic racism and the relationship between police and aboriginal people in Quebec. The province has repeatedly rejected that request from federal and provincial indigenous groups. \"Those women forgot their fear, broke their silence, finally spoke out,\" Ms Cloutier said. \"The system has failed to protect them.\" Assembly of First Nations Regional Chief for Quebec-Labrador Ghislain Picard said simply: \"It's clear there is a very wide gap between justice and its application to indigenous people.\" In April, Quebec setup a confidential hotline indigenous people could call to file complaints of police abuse. Montreal police force have been tasked with investigating all the allegations of abuse against indigenous people unless they are against one of their own. Allegations flagged to police since April are still under investigation. The Val d'Or women have also secured legal counsel and are looking at the next possible steps. institutional violence",

In response, Ms Ahmed said: \"No, not at all.

The 31-year-old from London says he used the drug for more than 10 years to help him to \"let go\" of body insecurities and inhibitions. But it was a friend's fatal overdose on Christmas Day 2015 that prompted Charles to stop using GHB, even though his friends continue to use it. \"The look on people's faces when I say I don't take it - they treat it like I don't drink,\" he says. \"I don't miss all the drama and accidents that happened with it.\" 'Very addictive' Charles says he's had some \"horrible experiences\" of friends who have passed out from the drug - what he calls \"going under\" - and thrown out of nightclubs while still unconscious. \"'Going under' can last anything from 20 minutes to five hours and you don't know if that person might need an ambulance,\" he says. He says the drug is used in nightclubs and at \"chill-out\" parties and is \"very addictive\". GHB (gammahydroxybutyrate) and similar drug GBL (gammabutyrolactone), an industrial solvent that converts to GHB in the body, are usually sold as odourless, colourless, oily liquids in small bottles or in capsules. While prices can vary, on average a 30ml plastic container of GHB costs about £15 from a dealer or online. Commonly known as \"G\", it is often sold as \"liquid ecstasy\" because of its euphoric effects, but it has no relation to ecstasy (MDMA). While the Class C drug increases the desire for sex and reduces inhibitions - the risks include unconsciousness, coma and death. Those found in possession of it face up to two years in prison and an unlimited fine. Dealing can result in a sentence of up to 14 years. GHB was the drug that serial killer Stephen Port used to poison four young men. The judge told Port that he had carried out the murders to \"satisfy his lust\" for sex with young men who were rendered unconscious. 'Unconscious and vulnerable' GHB was brought under the Misuse of Drugs Act as a Class C drug in 2003, so dealers switched to GBL as a legal alternative. GBL was eventually made illegal in 2009. G is used on the \"chemsex\" scene by \"a small proportion\" of gay men to enhance sex, says consultant psychiatrist Adam R Winstock, the founder of the Global Drug Survey. Dr Winstock says GHB was first developed in 1964 as a general anaesthetic, but was never widely used. \"In the 1980s it was popular on the gay dance scene in America,\" he says. \"However, it will always be associated with the chemsex scene. It has been a gay drug for 10 to 20 years.\" He warned that a difference of 0.5ml can have a huge affect on a person's body. One in five GHB users last year reported to the Global Drugs Survey that they had passed out or overdosed, he says. Dr Winstock said of the 200,000 drug users surveyed worldwide, about 2,000 had said they had used the drug. He estimates there are more than 1,000 GHB users in the UK, but the drug \"is not mainstream in the way cocaine and amphetamines are\". People who take the drug and pass out \"can be very unconscious and vulnerable to sexual assault,\" he says. Users also risk becoming dependent in a couple of weeks, he says, and those who are addicted should seek specialist help. Harry Sharpiro, director of drug information charity Drugwise, says the drug has been used primarily on the gay scene \"for a while\". \"People assume it is part of a growing trend. It is not,\" he says. 'Difficult to measure' According to the Office for National Statistics, there were 10 GHB/GBL-related deaths registered in England and Wales in 2015, 12 in 2014, 10 in 2013, eight in 2012 and 10 in 2011. But Mr Sharpiro says: \"Mortality figures are incredibly vague. \"Quite often there will be multiple drugs involved and it is impossible to tell which is the drug that actually caused the death - so I am not surprised the figures don't match up [with the Met Police figures of 58 GHB-related deaths]. Neil Woods, an ex-undercover drugs squad officer, says: \"Every single drug is more dangerous in the illicit market because you don't know what is in it. \"But the specific problem with GHB is you don't know how strong it is and a few drops of liquid are difficult to measure, especially if its odourless.\"",

            "input": "The party accused the PM of breaking promises over plans to avoid a hard border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. The plans were revealed in a letter from Theresa May to Mrs Foster, leaked to the Times. Downing Street reiterated the PM's commitment to avoiding a hard border. Mrs May relies on the support of the DUP's 10 MPs in key votes because she does not have a majority in the House of Commons. PM 'needs to reflect' Agreeing a backstop - a contingency plan designed to keep an open border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland until the UK and European Union settle their future relationship - remains the main obstacle in the way of a wider deal between the two sides. Mrs May describes it in her letter to the DUP as \"an insurance policy that no-one in the UK or the EU wants or expects to use\". The DUP leader said the party could not back the deal if it came before Parliament and said the PM \"needs to reflect\" on that. Mrs Foster told the BBC that a response to a letter sent to the PM last week \"unfortunately does say that she's in a position where she's considering regulatory alignment\". \"We would not be able to support this if it came to parliament in the form that it is in the letter,\" said the DUP leader. \"Now there are stages to go through before it comes to parliament. She still has to have a cabinet meeting in relation to this matter and we believe that there is a chance for her to reflect on the fact that we will not be able to support it in its current form. Mrs Foster added: \"I believe that not only would we not be able to support what she has sent to us but that there are many others that wouldn't be able to support it in her own party as well.\" If sufficient progress is made on the issue in the next few days, it is thought a special cabinet meeting could be held early next week for ministers to approve the draft agreement on the terms of the UK's exit. A Downing Street spokesman said: \"The government will not agree anything that brings about a hard border on the island of Ireland.\" What is the row about? The UK and EU have failed, so far, to reach agreement on how to ensure there are no border checks between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, if a free trade deal is not in place by the end of the post-Brexit \"transition period\" in December 2020. This is known as the \"backstop\". The EU's proposal, to keep Northern Ireland in its customs union and single market, is unacceptable to the UK because it would mean Northern Ireland having different regulations to the rest of the UK. But the UK's proposal, which would effectively keep the whole of the UK in the EU customs union for a limited period after Brexit, includes an \"expected\" end date of 2021 - something which is unacceptable to the EU, which says any \"backstop\" must apply \"unless and until\" it is no longer needed. It says its Northern Ireland-only proposal should remain in place, in case the issue of the Irish border was not sorted out by that end date. What has annoyed the DUP? The BBC's John Campbell said what was upsetting the DUP in Mrs May's letter was the issue of single market regulations, not customs. He said the letter suggested the unique circumstances of Northern Ireland may require alignment with EU single market regulations \"in some scenarios\" adding that any such alignment would have to be \"carefully circumscribed to what is strictly necessary to avoid any hard border\". The DUP has interpreted the wording of her letter to mean that the EU's proposal will be in the Brexit divorce deal, despite Mrs May's insistence it will never come into effect. BBC political correspondent Iain Watson said the row came down to an issue of trust between Mrs May and her DUP allies, who were suspicious she might sign up to a deal with the EU they did not agree with. What are other politicians saying about the row? Chancellor Philip Hammond said: \"We have always said that we can't accept the [EU] commission proposal for a Northern Ireland-specific solution.\" Irish PM Leo Varadkar told a press conference: \"The most important thing to me is the objective, and that is to give everyone in Northern Ireland the assurance that a hard border will not develop between north and south, no matter what else may happen in the years ahead. \"That is why we are seeking one that is legally operative and one that gives us that guarantee that is necessary.\"",

Denbighshire council archaeologist Fiona Gale said: \"It was a fantastic, once in a lifetime opportunity to repair the building and bring it back into good order\".

The engine house is one of the few remaining signs of what was once a large and important industry in the area. The engine was in operation until the mine closed in 1884 when the engine was sold to the former Westminster Colliery in Wrexham. David Thomas, the Denbighshire cabinet lead member for regeneration, said the building was a \"testament to the hard work of all those who worked in the lead mines in the area over many years\".

The most problematic pollutants are chemical sewage discharge, farming, and industrial chemicals. In 2016, when figures were last published, 16% of waters were classed as good. In fact, water quality hasn't deteriorated since then - but it hasn't improved as promised. The figures appear to have got worse because stricter tests brought in by the EU have shown up levels of long-banned pollutants such as PCB in the tissues of living organisms. The Environment Agency said rivers were in a much better state than in the 1990s when water treatment works often discharged foul water into rivers. But its chief, Emma Howard Boyd, said: \"Water quality has plateaued since 2016. She admitted: \"It isn't good enough.\" She said the new figures showed just 14% of rivers are rated good for wildlife and plants. The Environment Minister Rebecca Pow said the data showed urgent action was needed to reduce sewage discharge and address pollution from agriculture and chemicals. She said the data was \"not comfortable reading\" and continued: \"We are absolutely committed to achieving the water quality ambitions to improve at least three-quarters of our waters to be as close to their natural state as soon as possible.\" Dr Janina Gray, from Salmon and Trout Conservation, said English river quality was among the worst. She blamed a lack of political will, lack of investment and dramatic cuts to Environment Agency monitoring for the \"depressing\" picture. Water UK, which represents water companies, said farmers were mostly to blame. The farmers' union NFU said farmers had greatly reduced the amount of chemicals they used, but recognise that more needs to be done. NFU Deputy President Stuart Roberts said: \"Farmers have made great strides in reducing key agricultural emissions over recent decades. Central to these efforts is a major reduction in the amount of fertiliser applied to farmland and held in the soil, which means far less nutrients are reaching our rivers than in the past. \"However, farmers recognise more needs to be done and will continue to do all they can to protect our water environment.\" Follow Roger on Twitter @rharrabin",

The national minimum wage is currently £6.19 an hour for workers aged 21. Cases investigated by HMRC included the illegal use of interns, unpaid extra hours and workers forced to buy company clothes as uniform. In one instance, a major fashion chain was ordered to pay its 90 unpaid interns almost £60,000, HMRC said. A retailer which \"required employees to purchase specific items of clothing from its range\" was ordered to repay almost £170,000 to more than 6,000 workers. Another company, described as a \"national retailer\", was forced to pay more than £193,000 to 3,500 staff for requiring them to attend work before and after opening hours without pay. 'Rogue employers' Liberal Democrat minister Ms Swinson said: \"Whenever we find examples of businesses breaking the law we will crack down on them.\" \"Supporting fairness in the workplace is one of our key priorities and the national minimum wage is one way of making sure this happens.\" She added: \"It supports as many workers as possible without damaging their employment prospects, which is why effectively enforcing the minimum wage is critically important in making sure it stays a success.\" Trades Union Congress general secretary Frances O'Grady said: \"These investigations show why more resources must be put into catching minimum wage cheats. \"As well as handing out fines, the government must publicly name and shame all those rogue employers who knowingly underpay their staff.\" Meanwhile, information published by the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills indicated there was \"no definition of an internship/work experience in minimum wage legislation\". But it said the arrangement a person had with an employer might mean they were a \"worker\", therefore entitling them to the minimum wage, even if they were described as an \"intern\". The government's checklist of what \"generally\" describes a worker includes the promise of future work and having to turn up for work if you do not want to.",

            "input": "By Gonul TolCenter for Turkish Studies, MEI Unlike most outside powers that called for an immediate ceasefire, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan told Azerbaijan President Ilham Aliyev to fight on. The Caucasus is only the latest venture for a more muscular Turkey, whose military engagements have stretched from Syria across the Mediterranean. Where has Turkey become involved? In the last few years, Turkey has: Turkey also has a military presence in Qatar, Somalia and Afghanistan and maintains peacekeeping troops in the Balkans. Its global military footprint is the most expansive since the days of the Ottoman Empire. What is behind Turkey's new foreign policy? Turkey's reliance on hard power to secure its interests is the cornerstone of its new foreign policy doctrine, in the making since 2015. The new doctrine is deeply suspicious of multilateralism and urges Turkey to act unilaterally when necessary. It is anti-Western. It believes that the West is in decline and Turkey should cultivate closer ties to countries such as Russia and China. It is anti-imperialist. It challenges the Western-dominated World War Two order and calls for an overhaul of international institutions such as the United Nations, to give voice to nations other than the Western countries. The new foreign policy doctrine views Turkey as a country surrounded by hostile actors and abandoned by its Western allies. Therefore, it urges Turkey to pursue a proactive foreign policy that rests on the use of pre-emptive military power outside its borders. This is a far cry from Turkey's previous focus on diplomacy, trade and cultural engagement in its relations with other nations. The change is a function of several domestic and international developments. What changed? Turkey's new doctrine began to take shape in 2015, when the ruling AKP lost its parliamentary majority for the first time in over a decade due to the rise of the pro-Kurdish Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP). To regain the ruling party's majority, Mr Erdogan formed an alliance with nationalists both on the right and left. They backed him when he resumed the fight against the Kurdish rebels. How focus turned to Kurds Turkey's conflict with the PKK - Kurdistan Workers' Party - had to a large extent stopped after the group's imprisoned leader, Abdullah Ocalan, called for a ceasefire with the Turkish state in 2013. Despite their ideological differences, both the far-right nationalist MHP and neo-nationalists on the left support a heavy-handed approach to the Kurdish problem. They also prioritise national security at home and abroad and espouse strong anti-Western views. With their support, Mr Erdogan also switched the country's parliamentary system to a presidential one granting him sweeping powers. This alliance with the nationalists and consolidation of his power became the key driving factor behind Turkey's unilateralist, militaristic and assertive foreign policy. The failed 2016 coup played a key role in this process. How coup changed the narrative According to President Erdogan, the botched coup was orchestrated by former ally Fethullah Gulen, an Islamic cleric in self-exile in Pennsylvania, and it did several things to pave the way for Turkey's militaristic foreign policy. It strengthened Mr Erdogan's alliance with the nationalists. His sweeping purge of civil servants suspected of having links to the Gulen movement led to some 60,000 people being fired, jailed or suspended from the armed forces and judiciary, and some other state institutions. The void left by the purges was filled with Erdogan loyalists and nationalist supporters. The failed coup also strengthened the nationalist coalition's narrative that Turkey was besieged by domestic and foreign enemies and that the West was part of the problem. That justified unilateral action, supported by pre-emptive deployment of hard power beyond Turkey's borders. How approach changed in Syria The Assad regime's decision to give a free hand to Syria's Kurds in the north led to an autonomous Kurdish zone along Turkey's border and in 2014 the US decided to airdrop weapons to the Kurdish militants, considered to be a terrorist organisation by Turkey. This all fed the narrative that Turkey had to act alone and deploy military forces to protect its borders. The failed coup also paved the way for consolidation of power in Mr Erdogan's hands. Through purges he hollowed out institutions, sidelined key actors in foreign policymaking such as the foreign ministry, and emasculated the military, which had put a brake on his previous calls to launch military operations in neighbouring countries. Before the coup attempt, he had signalled his intention to launch a military operation into Syria to stem the \"terrorist threat\" emanating from the Kurdish militias there. But Turkey's military, which had traditionally been very cautious about troop deployment outside Turkey's borders, was opposed. A few months after the coup attempt, President Erdogan got his wish. Turkey launched its first military operation into Syria to curb the influence of the Kurds in the north in 2016 and two more incursions after that. The move was applauded by the president's nationalist allies, who fear an independent Kurdish state built with US help along its border. To curb Kurdish influence and counterbalance the US presence in Syria he worked with Russia. How Turkey switched focus to Libya and E Mediterranean Libya became another theatre for hard-power tactics. In January, Turkey stepped up military support to Libya's UN-backed government of Prime Minister Fayez al-Serraj, to stop an offensive by forces allied with Gen Khalifa Haftar. Turkey's primary goal in Libya was to secure the Serraj government's support in a matter important to Mr Erdogan's nationalist allies: the Eastern Mediterranean. Turkey has been at loggerheads with Greece and Cyprus over energy drilling rights off the coast of the divided island of Cyprus and maritime boundaries in the area. Ankara signed an agreement on maritime boundaries with Mr Serraj in November in return for military support to the Tripoli government. Mr Erdogan's aim was to redraw maritime borders in the Eastern Mediterranean which, in his opinion, provided disproportionate advantages to Turkey's arch-enemies - Greece and the Republic of Cyprus. Meanwhile, Turkey sent warships to escort its drilling ships in the Eastern Mediterranean, risking a military confrontation with its Nato partner Greece. Has it been a success? Turkey's assertive policy in Syria, Libya and the Eastern Mediterranean has not yielded the results that President Erdogan's ruling coalition hoped for. Turkey could not entirely clear Kurdish militia forces from its border with Syria. Neither Ankara's maritime agreement with Libya nor its actions in the Eastern Mediterranean have changed the anti-Turkey status quo in the region. On the contrary, Turkey's military involvement in these conflicts hardened anti-Erdogan sentiment in the West and unified a diverse group of actors in their resolve to oppose Turkish unilateralism, eventually forcing Turkey's leader to back down. A similar fate awaits Turkey's involvement in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, which is already seeing the emergence of a more forceful Russian response and a Russian-Western front against Turkey's support for Azerbaijan. What next? But Mr Erdogan's nationalist allies want him to fight on. A prominent neo-nationalist, Retired Rear-Admiral Cihat Yayci, argued that Greece wanted to invade western Turkey and urged Mr Erdogan to never sit down with Athens to negotiate. And the president has little option but to listen to him. As he loses ground in opinion polls, the nationalist sway over his domestic and foreign policies only increases.

Now, Thomas Cook, which took over the brand in 1998, says it is considering its future, including a possible sale. It wants to concentrate on its Cook's Club brand, which it launched last month and which it believes is of more appeal to its millennial customers. The concept is centred on its own-brand hotels, which can accommodate 300-400 guests and features such attractions as poolside DJs and a sharper focus on food for, a spokesman told the BBC, the \"Instagram generation\". Club 18-30 was founded in the 1960s to offer package holidays targeted at young singles and couples to travel without families or children. The first destination was Lloret de Mar on the Costa Brava. In 1973, it was bought out by the management, the first of a series of changes of ownership. Its controversial, playful image kept it in the public eye throughout the 1990s and 2000s. Advertising slogans from the time included \"It's not all sex, sex, sex. There's a bit of sun and sea as well\". An 18-30 veteran reminisces... Young, impressionable and on my first package holiday I chose a last-minute 18-30 with friends to Corfu. We'd worked all summer to pay for the trip and a week in the sun with plenty of fun sounded ideal. The reps were all focused on making sure you had \"fun\"'. That meant lots of bars, clubs, free drinks and games. I was terrified. But somehow managed to maintain the participation level to end up in the final of a game where the girls had to move an egg up the inside of a bloke's trousers and then down the other side. Only one of the eggs was hard boiled. We lost, and I never took another 18-30. \"While Club 18-30 is easily the most-recognised brand in this sector, it is a tired and tarnished brand - people who went on its first holidays in the 1970s are now in their 70s!,\" said Simon Calder, travel editor at the Independent. \"'Hosting the wildest party holidays' (one of its marketing slogans) from Magaluf to Bulgaria is no longer especially popular with local authorities, who are cracking down on organised bar crawls. \"Thomas Cook is moving steadily upmarket, ditching cheap and nasty accommodation in favour of sophisticated all-inclusive properties.\" In 2002, ITV made the programme Club Reps, based on the life of the workers. Full of salacious details, it is said to have boosted bookings significantly. In 2005, Channel 5 showed a documentary called the Curse of Club 18-30. The company was not amused and complained to Ofcom. Although it is called Club 18-30, the actual target age range is 17-35.",

His brother Hafeez said that his family wanted to challenge the idea that the attack represented a threat to the UK. More than 30 people have been arrested this year as police step up operations to stop people fighting in Syria. The government fears that some people going to fight in Syria against President Bashar al-Assad's regime will become radicalised and battle-hardened by joining al-Qaeda linked groups. Security chiefs believe that hundreds of people have gone to fight in Syria and their return poses the greatest national security challenge since to the UK since 9/11. But speaking exclusively to Newsnight, Hafeez Majeed said the government would be wrong to draw comparisons between his brother's death and threats to the UK. He said he believed the 41-year-old father-of-three died trying to save Syrian people who were being tortured in the Assad regime's prisons. \"If my brother had been a British soldier and there were British people in that prison and the act of heroism or bravery that he did, I know he would have been awarded the posthumous Victoria Cross,\" said Mr Majeed. \"My brother was not a terrorist. My brother was a hero. My brother paid the full price with his life for what he did. He was not a threat to the British public and never has been a threat to the British public.\" The father-of-three from Crawley travelled to Syria last July as a driver for a nationwide aid convoy, taking supplies to refugee camps along the border with Turkey. He spent six months in the region, sending his family regular reports of construction work he was undertaking to improve camp sanitation. In January, he declined an opportunity to come home on a returning convoy. Mr Majeed said that his brother's wife and parents had urged him to leave Syria because he had done his humanitarian and religious duty in aiding victims of the war. A few weeks later, he sent a last message home to friends and family saying that he would be out of contact for a while. On 6 February he died in the attack on Aleppo prison - which was led by Chechen fighters with the al-Nusra Front, a jihadist group affiliated with al-Qaeda. After the death, the former leaders of al-Muhajiroun, a group long banned in the UK under terrorism laws, claimed that more than a decade ago Abdul Waheed Majeed had been a member of its prayer circle in Crawley. But Hafeez Majeed insisted the link had been exaggerated, saying his brother had attended the group's talks like other young men from his generation. \"He'd been in contact with al-Muhajiroun,\" said Mr Majeed. \"The views that they espoused did not marry with what his beliefs were. He stayed with them for a short time and then he moved on.\" The full story of Abdul Waheed Majeed's life and death is on Newsnight, BBC Two at 2230 GMT.",

ADAC tested 237 keyless cars and found that all but three were susceptible. The latest models of the Discovery and Range Rover, and the 2018 Jaguar i-Pace, all made by Jaguar Land Rover, were found to be secure. Of the top-selling cars in the UK, only the Vauxhall Corsa was deemed safe because it is not available with keyless entry and ignition. \"Thieves have been using keyless theft for several years, but manufacturers continue to make new models that can be stolen in this way, meaning there is an ever-larger pool of vehicles for thieves to target,\" Which? said in a statement.

A growing number of new cars are made with keyless entry systems, allowing owners to open them with the brush of a hand, as long as their actual key is nearby - for instance in their pocket. However, thieves can fool these systems with special devices, allowing them to enter the vehicle and drive away. Car theft is much lower than it was in the 1990s but has been rising, with keyless technology thought to be partly to blame.

GBS is thought to occur when something goes wrong with the body's immune system after an infection. The 20-year-old from Porthcawl hopes to raise awareness of the condition, which affects just 50 people in Wales yearly. It took Aiysha more than a decade to smile again after it struck the first time when she was three. \"Both times I had just a normal plain, basic cold and the cold went away and obviously, when it goes away you expect nothing else,\" she said. \"But after the cold disappeared, I had pins and needles throughout my legs. \"I tried elevating my legs, I tried walking it off, I tried everything I could think of. Throughout the day the pins and needles were getting worse and worse and worse.\" In April 2018, she woke up in the early hours unable to move her legs. Fearing that GBS had struck again, her parents drove her straight to hospital. \"I remember the person checking me over telling me that it's rare to get this illness, it's even rarer to get it twice,\" Aiysha said. Tests were done, and the paralysis spread up Aiysha's body until she was unable to breathe independently. \"They put me to sleep,\" she said. \"I'm not sure how long it was. I think it was a month.\" Around a quarter of people who get GBS end up in intensive care. \"We've known about the disease for at least 100 years but we don't really understand what causes it,\" said Dr Richard Self, lead intensive care consultant at the Princess of Wales Hospital in Bridgend. What is Guillain-Barre syndrome? Source: NHS UK \"Most people beforehand will have experienced a viral infection or maybe some gastroenteritis, some diarrhoea, and then it's thought this may trigger an immune disorder when the body attacks the nerves. \"Most people will get better, unfortunately about a quarter of people who suffer from this don't get completely better and may have long-term weakness and the whole experience of being this ill leaves long-term psychological consequences as well.\" When she awoke, Aiysha was unable to speak but, through working with a speech and language therapist, she learned to communicate by choosing pictures of things she wanted using her eyes. Eventually, she managed to return home to her partner Luke and daughter Aurora, then aged nine months.

Looking back, it has become clear that the Department of Health only just kept within the budget agreed by Parliament last year. First, the department's annual report for the 2014/15 year and what it tells us. If this sounds dull and technical and not everybody's idea of a gripping read, please bear with me. 'Harrier jet' The report was issued on Tuesday in the final hours of the parliamentary session and shone new light on what it costs to keep the NHS in England afloat. On the important day-to-day spending definition (known to the cognoscenti as RDEL), the Department of Health shelled out £110.5bn in the financial year which ended in March. The annual report says this was an under-spend of £1.2m on the total agreed by Parliament. That may sound like a reasonable cushion but in Whitehall terms it's nothing - equivalent to 0.001% of the budget. It is rather like ending the month with one penny in the bank account after paying the mortgage and all the bills. Given that only two years ago the department ended the year with an under-spend of £1.5bn, the £1.2m result in 2014/15 is put into some sort of context. The job of finance chiefs in steering the department through to the end of the year within the agreed budget has been likened to landing a Harrier jet on a tennis court. For the year just ended it must have been like landing that jump jet on a flower bed. 'Short shrift' All this is more intriguing because the Department of Health only just scraped by despite an injection of £890m in extra funding over the course of the financial year. This consisted of £250m of money quietly transferred from Treasury reserves, with the rest moved from investment budgets into covering day-to-day running costs. So it was a close-run thing in 2014/15, and the current financial year does not look as if it will be any easier. Deficits at health trusts seem set to be bigger than last year. Simon Stevens, head of NHS England, told MPs on Tuesday that the single biggest factor was the rapid growth in spending on agency staff. It was critical, he said, that this was dialled back in the months ahead. Further afield, ministers are hoping that the £8bn annual funding boost by 2020 which they have promised will be enough for the NHS in England to continue delivering current levels of care. But a report out on Wednesday by two leading think tanks challenges that assumption. The Health Foundation and the King's Fund have called for more investment over and above the £8bn to create what they call a transformation fund. This vehicle, the authors say, would invest in measures needed to create longer-term efficiency savings - for example, the retraining of some frontline staff and the development of new ways of caring for patients. The NHS, they argue, will not become more productive without upfront investment of an extra £1.5 - £2bn per year. But the think tanks received short shrift from the government, with a spokesperson pointing out that the NHS had asked in its five-year strategy paper for the £8bn by 2020 and now had to get on with the job of finding efficiency savings. But the thorny question of money and what is deliverable by the health service will continue to cause furrowed brows in Whitehall and Downing Street as the autumn spending review approaches.",

A statement from the Radio 1 press office said: \"Unfortunately due to the travel disruption affecting Heathrow we've had to cancel a few performances but we've still got an exciting line-up for our audiences.\" Rudimental had previously decided not to play but are now performing. Fingers Crossed Rita Ora, who is due to perform on Friday evening at the event in Derry, spoke to Newsbeat at the London airport. \"It's sad when a festival doesn't go to plan. It's annoying,\" she said. \"All I know is the acts aren't giving up so that's a good sign.\" Four hours after their flight was due to take off, artists including AlunaGeorge and Angel Haze were still at Terminal 1. Rita Ora described the terminal at Heathrow as a \"Radio 1 reunion\" as artists and stars from the station continued to look for an alternative route to Northern Ireland. The airline said the Heathrow to Oslo service turned back after a technical fault before 9am. Witnesses reported seeing flames coming from one of the engines. Other artists thought to be affected by the delays include J. Cole and Wiley, who are due on stage on Friday evening. Rita Ora, who is headlining the 1Xtra Arena/In New Music We Trust Stage, says she is hopeful that she can still make it to the event in time to perform her set. \"Fingers crossed,\" she said. \"I think Radio 1 will figure it out. You can't stop a show.\" Calvin Harris, Biffy Clyro and Bruno Mars are headlining Big Weekend. There's more information on BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend Derry-Londonderry website.

Critics have dismissed it as another stunt by Ms Hanson, who last year hit the headlines for wearing a burka. Yet a number of ruling party politicians backed the motion. Among the 23 people who voted in favour was Australia's first parliamentarian of black African descent, Kenyan-born Lucy Gichuhi of the governing coalition. Others in government who supported the motion were the Deputy Senate Leader and Trade Minister Simon Birmingham, Indigenous Affairs Minister Nigel Scullion and Deputy National leader Bridget McKenzie. Speaking ahead of the vote, Ms Hanson said \"people have a right to be proud of their cultural background, whether they are black, white or brindle\". \"If we cannot agree on this, I think it's safe to say anti-white racism is well and truly rife in our society,\" she added. One of those who opposed the bill, Justice Party Senator Derryn Hinch, called it a \"headline-grabbing stunt\". He said Ms Hanson was \"in a race\" with another of her colleagues \"to the bottom of the sewer\" by seeing \"who can be the biggest, the loudest, racist bigot\". Far-right trolls The phrase \"it's OK to be white\" has been popularised online among far-right groups. Its inclusion in the motion is also seen as a nod to the Canadian activist Lauren Southern, who wore a T-shirt emblazoned with the phrase when she visited Australia earlier this year. In March, Ms Southern was refused entry to the UK on the grounds that her actions \"present a threat to the fundamental interests of society\".",

Mr Briere is being held in a prison in the city of Mashhad and is in good health, Mr Dehghan said, adding that \"his spying charges [are] because of taking pictures in forbidden areas\". The charge of \"propaganda against the system\", the lawyer said, was the result of a social media post by Mr Briere that said \"the hijab is mandatory\" in Iran but not in other Islamic countries. \"My colleagues and I believe that these charges are false and baseless, but we have to wait for the judge to conduct a full investigation in the next few days and announce his verdict,\" Mr Dehghan added. Last month, France's foreign ministry confirmed a French citizen was being held in Iran and that it was monitoring the situation. It has not commented on the charges. France is part of a group of countries - along with the US, UK, China, Russia and Germany - that say they are trying to restore a nuclear deal that was struck with Iran in 2015 but was abandoned by US President Donald Trump in 2018. The Trump administration then reinstated sanctions that Iran has said must be lifted before it will agree to restore the pact. Iran has insisted that its nuclear programme is peaceful, but suspicions by other nations, including France, that it may be being used as a cover for building a nuclear bomb led to sanctions being imposed in 2010. Human rights activists in the past have accused Iran of detaining foreign or dual-nationality citizens to use as leverage against other countries. The charges against Mr Briere come after British-Iranian Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe appeared in court in Tehran on propaganda charges.

The Home Office said religious bodies would not have to conduct gay marriages but the Church also fears this could be challenged in European courts. Gay rights campaigners accuse the Church of \"scaremongering\". Civil partnerships were introduced in 2005 to give same-sex couples the same legal rights as married couples, but the law does not allow such unions to be referred to as marriages. Responding to a consultation in England and Wales, the Church of England said government proposals to allow same-sex marriages by 2015 would \"alter the intrinsic nature of marriage as the union of a man and a woman, as enshrined in human institutions throughout history\". It said marriage acknowledged \"an underlying biological complementarity which, for many, includes the possibility of procreation\". The Church claims that plans to exempt religious organisations from performing gay marriages would be unlikely to survive legal challenges in domestic and European courts. As such, the government's consultation exercise, which closes on Thursday, was \"flawed, conceptually and legally\", it added. Tory MP Crispin Blunt conceded the government's aim \"to protect, indeed proscribe, religious organisations from offering gay marriage\" may be \"problematic legally\". \"But the proposal the government are putting forward is that marriage should be equal in the eyes of the state - whether it's between a same-sex couple or a man and a woman,\" he told BBC One's Breakfast. But human rights lawyer Lucy Scott-Moncrieff, the vice-president of the Law Society, said the European court was unlikely to agree that any religious organisation would be forced to carry out same-sex marriages. \"But what it might say is that religious organisations should be allowed to if they want to,\" she told BBC Radio 4's Today programme, adding that \"many\" did. The plans do not allow for religious organisations in favour of change to conduct gay marriages. The Church says the role of Anglican clergy to perform marriages for any parishioner who wanted one might disappear, undermining the Church of England's role as the state church. The Rt Rev Tim Stevens, Bishop of Leicester, said the Church was \"trying to uphold a traditional of teachings and understandings about marriage\" at a time when \"many marriages are in difficulty\". \"It's very unlikely that, in just a few weeks, a new, universally-acceptable definition of a fundamental social institution can emerge overnight like this,\" he told Today. Ben Summerskill, chief executive of Stonewall, meanwhile, accused the Church of England of a \"masterclass in melodramatic scaremongering that somehow this is the biggest upheaval since the sacking of monasteries\". He told Today there was \"no evidence whatsoever that people will take legal cases against the Church of England\" because \"the opportunity to sue someone if they don't provide a wedding of your choosing\" already existed in law. \"There are hundreds of thousands of people who get remarried everywhere and the churches already say we will not carry out such weddings. \"If there were lawyers and, indeed, excited claimants who wanted to take such a legal case, they would have already been taken in that context,\" he added. Human rights campaigner Peter Tatchell, meanwhile, said the government's proposals only concerned civil marriages in registry offices and would have \"no impact on faith organisations or places of worship\". The Home Office said it had made it clear that \"no religious organisation will be forced to conduct same-sex marriages as a result of our proposals\". \"We welcome the Church of England's response and we will be carefully considering all points of view before publishing the outcome of the consultation later in the year,\" a spokesman said. In April, prominent Church of England figures wrote an open letter to the Times newspaper saying the Church had \"nothing to fear\" from the prospect of gay marriage. The Catholic Church in England and Wales, meanwhile, has urged people to sign an online petition organised up by the Coalition for Marriage. More than 550,000 people have so far signed the petition set up by the \"umbrella group of individuals and organisations in the UK that support traditional marriage and oppose any plans to redefine it\".",

But the new rules do not recommend the use of cannabis oil at all. NHS England has been approached for comment. Ms Deacon, the mother of Alfie Dingley, from Kenilworth, petitioned the government in March after she found his condition improved when he was given a cannabis-based medication in the Netherlands, where it is legal, in September 2017. Although she has secured continuing prescriptions for Alfie, she said the new rules were a \"real blow\" for families in similar situations and has launched a petition to encourage doctors to \"prescribe full extract oil without fear\". The petition has amassed more than 360,000 signatures in less than a week. The bodies that issued the guidance said cannabis oil is not recommended because there was \"no quality evidence\" of it being used safely and effectively for pain relief. The new guidance, issued by the Royal College of Physicians (RCP) and The British Paediatric Neurology Association, also specified doctors prescribing any treatment involving medicinal cannabis must be specialists. NHS England agreed to continue to issue Alfie's cannabis oil prescriptions provided they came via expert Prof Mike Barnes. \"I feel incredibly guilty that it's only through our campaign that we have been able to secure this for Alfie when there are so many others who will find they are unable to get the treatment because of the guidance,\" Ms Deacon said. Formal guidelines on prescribing medicinal cannabis are expected to be published by the National Institute of Health and Care Excellence (NICE) in October 2019 and the RCP guidance remains under review until then, an RCP spokesman said.",

Her father Gareth Edwards said it was a \"mockery of justice\" Boparan's 18-month sentence would not be challenged by the Attorney General. Millionaire's son Boparan was 19 when he was behind the wheel of a Range Rover Sport which crashed into a Jeep Cherokee driven by Cerys' mother Tracey. He had overtaken at least two other cars and was speeding at 71mph in a 30mph limit when the crash happened on 11 November 2006, the court heard. Cerys, who was aged just one, sustained what a doctor described as a \"catastrophic severance of the high spinal cord\" and was left brain damaged. She died a month before her 10th birthday following complications caused by an infection. In February, 32-year-old Boparan pleaded guilty to causing death by dangerous driving. He was jailed at Birmingham Crown Court last month. Judge Melbourne Inman QC said Boparan had shown \"an arrogant disregard for the safety of others\" when he drove that day, causing \"catastrophic\" injuries to Cerys. Following the sentencing a member of the public applied to the Attorney General's Office to refer the sentence to the Court of Appeal under the unduly lenient sentence scheme. But the Attorney General's office said on Monday the case would not be referred. \"The threshold is a high one, and the test was not met in this case,\" a spokesman said.

            "input": "This means the government cannot trigger Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty - beginning formal exit negotiations with the EU - on its own. Theresa May says the referendum - and existing ministerial powers - mean MPs do not need to vote, but campaigners called this unconstitutional. The government is appealing, with a further hearing expected next month. The prime minister's spokeswoman said she would be calling President of the EU Commission Jean-Claude Juncker to say she intended to stick to her March 2017 deadline for triggering Article 50. Amid suggestions that she might try to call an early general election, she added that Mrs May believed \"there shouldn't be an election until 2020 and that remains her view\". A statement is to be made to MPs on Monday but the government says it has no intention of letting the judgement \"derail Article 50 or the timetable we have set out\". Brexit Secretary David Davis said he presumed the court ruling meant an act of Parliament would be required to trigger Article 50 - so would be subject to approval by both MPs and peers. But the government was going to contest that view in an appeal, and said the referendum was held only following \"a six-to-one vote in the Commons to give the decision to the British people\". \"The people are the ones Parliament represents - 17.4m of them, the biggest mandate in history, voted for us to leave the European Union. We are going to deliver on that mandate in the best way possible for the British national interest,\" he told the BBC. Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn urged the government \"to bring its negotiating terms to Parliament without delay\", adding that \"there must be transparency and accountability to Parliament on the terms of Brexit\". But UKIP leader Nigel Farage said he feared a \"betrayal\" of the 51.9% of voters who backed leaving the EU in June's referendum and voiced concern at the prospect of a \"half Brexit\". BBC assistant political editor Norman Smith said the court ruling could mean potentially \"months and months\" of parliamentary hurdles but said a majority of MPs would be likely to vote for Article 50 - despite having backed the Remain campaign - as Brexit had been supported in the referendum. Analysis - BBC political correspondent Eleanor Garnier It is one of the most important constitutional court cases in generations. And the result creates a nightmare scenario for the government. Theresa May had said she wanted to start Brexit talks before the end of March next year but this ruling has thrown the prime minister's timetable up in the air. Campaigners who brought the case insist it was about \"process not politics\", but behind the doors of No 10 there will now be serious head-scratching about what the government's next steps should be. This decision has huge implications, not just on the timing of Brexit but on the terms of Brexit. That's because it's given the initiative to those on the Remain side in the House of Commons who, it's now likely, will argue Article 50 can only be triggered when Parliament is ready and that could mean when they're happy with the terms of any future deal. Of course, it will be immensely difficult to satisfy and get agreement from all those MPs who voted to remain. Could an early general election be on the cards after all? Investment manager Gina Miller, who brought the case, said outside the High Court that the government should make the \"wise decision of not appealing\". She said: \"The result today is about all of us. It's not about me or my team. It's about our United Kingdom and all our futures.\" Government lawyers had argued that prerogative powers were a legitimate way to give effect \"to the will of the people\". But the Lord Chief Justice, Lord Thomas of Cwmgiedd, declared: \"The government does not have power under the Crown's prerogative to give notice pursuant to Article 50 for the UK to withdraw from the European Union.\" The three judges looking at the case found there was no constitutional convention of the royal prerogative - powers used by ministers - being used in legislation relating to the EU. They added that triggering Article 50 would fundamentally change UK people's rights - and that the government cannot change or do away with rights under UK law unless Parliament gives it authority to do so. Calling the case \"a pure question of law\", Lord Thomas said: \"The court is not concerned with and does not express any view about the merits of leaving the European Union: that is a political issue.\" Former attorney general Dominic Grieve told the BBC he believed there was time for the government to get legislation through Parliament before the end of March, should they lose the appeal. He added: \"It will certainly allow the opportunity to debate the issues surrounding Brexit but it is worth bearing in mind that it's a bit difficult to fetter the government as to what it should do after Article 50 is triggered because actually, what the government can deliver ... is entirely dependent on the negotiating position of the 27 other member states... So you can't really order the government to stay in the single market because that may not be something that the government can deliver.\" Reacting to the ruling, International Trade Secretary Liam Fox told the House of Commons the government was \"disappointed\" but remained \"determined to respect the result of the referendum\". What the ruling says But UKIP's Mr Farage said: \"We are heading for a half Brexit.\" He added: \"I worry that a betrayal may be near at hand... I now fear that every attempt will be made to block or delay the triggering of Article 50. If this is so, they have no idea of the level of public anger they will provoke.\" Labour leader Mr Corbyn said: \"This ruling underlines the need for the government to bring its negotiating terms to Parliament without delay. Labour respects the decision of the British people to leave the European Union. But there must be transparency and accountability to Parliament on the terms of Brexit.\" But Liberal Democrat leader Tim Farron said: \"Ultimately, the British people voted for a departure but not for a destination, which is why what really matters is allowing them to vote again on the final deal, giving them the chance to say no to an irresponsible hard Brexit that risks our economy and our jobs.\" Addressing suggestions that Mrs May could call a general election before 2020 - when the next election is scheduled to take place under the Fixed Term Parliaments Act - Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said: \"If you're asking me do I think today's judgement makes a general election more likely than it was yesterday, I think the answer to that is probably yes.\" The UK voted by 52% to 48% to leave the European Union in a referendum on 23 June. The EU's other 27 member states have said negotiations about the terms of the UK's exit - due to last two years - cannot begin until Article 50 has been invoked.",

But the prime minister said there was too much \"bureaucratic nonsense\" and policy-makers should use \"judgement\" rather than \"tick boxes\". Labour called his decision a \"joke\". Equality impact assessments, introduced in the 2010 Equality Act, involve assessing \"the likely or actual effects of policies or services on people in respect of disability, gender and racial equality\". Supporters say they are essential to improving fairness, while opponents argue they are ineffective, expensive and time-consuming.

He said there were too many \"pointless reports\" being produced, adding: \"Take the Equality Act. It's not a bad piece of legislation. \"But in government we have taken the letter of this law and gone way beyond it, with equality impact assessments for every decision we make. \"Let me be very clear. I care about making sure that government policy never marginalises or discriminates. I care about making sure we treat people equally. \"But let's have the courage to say it: caring about these things does not have to mean churning out reams of bureaucratic nonsense. \"We have smart people in Whitehall who consider equalities issues while they're making the policy. We don't need all this extra tick-box stuff.\" Mr Cameron added: \"So I can tell you today we are calling time on equality impact assessments. \"You no longer have to do them if these issues have been properly considered. \"That way policy-makers are free to use their judgement and do the right thing to meet the equalities duty rather than wasting their own time and taxpayers' money.\" But, for Labour, shadow equalities minister Yvette Cooper said: \"Under David Cameron millions are paying more while millionaires are getting a massive tax cut - women are being hit much harder than men with low-income working families and disabled families losing out badly. \"Now the prime minister wants to remove any requirement for the public sector to even think about equality and he wants to destroy the evidence that his decisions are widening the gap. \"This is even more proof of David Cameron's personal blind spot on women and his lack of concern about the unfair impact of his policies.

            "input": "By Chris MorrisReality Check correspondent, BBC News Here are some of the key lines in the agreement document. So here's the first linguistic somersault. This agreement is designed to lock in the progress made so far, and allow technical experts to continue to work on it during the second phase of talks. But EU negotiations always work on the principle that nothing is agreed until everything is agreed, and that raises the prospect that if the second phase runs into trouble, then what has been agreed so far could, in theory, unravel. That is certainly not the intention on either side, but it underscores that the negotiating process still has a very long way to run - and the hardest part is still to come. The separation agreement on citizens' rights will not fall under the direct jurisdiction of the European Court of Justice (officially called the CJEU but commonly referred to as the ECJ) which was the initial demand from the European Union. But the ECJ will continue to play a role, because this agreement says UK courts will have to pay \"due regard\" to its decisions on an indefinite basis. And for eight years after Brexit, there will be a mechanism for UK courts to refer questions of interpretation directly to the ECJ. It is a compromise, but the sort of compromise that some supporters of Brexit will find hard to stomach. This detail on citizens' rights is important. The agreement will apply to anyone taking up residence before the UK leaves the EU, so people could still take the decision to move next year, or even in early 2019, and they would be fully protected by it. That option will remain open for new arrivals until the day the UK leaves - currently presumed to be 29 March 2019. In fact the European Commission argues that the \"specified date\" should be considerably later. In an official communication to the European Council it argues that during a transition all EU citizens should have all their rights upheld. In other words, it says, the \"specified date\" should not be the actual date of withdrawal, but the final day of a transition period (potentially two years later or even longer). There are also a lot of technical details hidden in the weeds of the agreement that remain to be negotiated, and that's why some groups representing citizens who are caught up in this dilemma are far from happy. The reaction of the European Parliament, which has taken a tough line on citizens' rights, will be important because it has to ratify the final agreement. This is the key phrase in the long section setting out how the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland will operate after the UK leaves the EU. The preference on both sides is for an ambitious free trade agreement, which will address many of the concerns that have been raised (although questions of customs duties would still have to be addressed). As a backstop though, the UK has guaranteed that it will maintain \"full alignment\" with the EU's single market and customs rules that govern cross-border trade. It is a form of words that everyone can (just about) live with for now, but there is plenty of tough negotiating ahead. It's not entirely clear how full alignment could be maintained without Northern Ireland staying in the single market and the customs union, especially as there is no such thing as partial membership. It is another sign that the competing demands that have been discussed this week have been sidestepped, but not fully resolved. This sentence about the financial settlement is a bureaucratic masterpiece, and suggests that plenty of detail still needs to be sorted out behind the scenes. For months, the money appeared to be the most intractable issue in the withdrawal negotiations, but money is easier to finesse than borders or courts. A method for calculating the bill has been agreed, but the calculation of an exact UK share will depend on exchange rates, on interest rates, on the number of financial commitments that never turn into payments, and more. The question of how and when payments will be made still needs to resolved, but it will be a schedule lasting for many years to come, and it is highly unlikely that anyone will ever be able to give an exact figure for the size of the divorce bill. UK sources say it will be up to £40bn, but some EU sources expect it to be higher than that. No-one can say for sure, and both sides want to keep it that way.

            "input": "By Matt McGrathEnvironment correspondent, BBC News In their strongest statement yet on the issue, scientists say acidification could increase by 170% by 2100. The report's co-author said acidification had already caused a 30% loss of species in some ocean ecosystems. The researchers conclude that human emissions of CO2 are clearly to blame. The study will be presented at global climate talks in Poland next week. In 2012, over 500 of the world's leading experts on ocean acidification gathered in California. Led by the International Biosphere-Geosphere Programme, a review of the state of the science has now been published. This Summary for Policymakers states with \"very high confidence\" that increasing acidification is caused by human activities which are adding 24 million tonnes of CO2 to oceans every day. Pickled waters The addition of so much carbon has altered the chemistry of the waters. Since the start of the industrial revolution, the waters have become 26% more acidic. \"This is the state of the art,\" said Prof Jean-Pierre Gattuso, from CNRS, the French national research agency. \"My colleagues have not found in the geological record, rates of change that are faster than the ones we see today.\" What worries the scientists is the potential impact on many ocean species including corals. Studies carried out at deep sea vents, where the waters are naturally acidic thanks to CO2, show a 30% loss of biodiversity. These vents may be a \"window on the future\" according to the researchers. \"You don't find a mollusc at the pH level expected for 2100, this is really quite a stunning fact,\" said Prof Gattuso. \"It's an imperfect window, only the ocean's acidity is increasing at these sites, they don't reflect the warming we will see this century. \"If you combine the two, it could be even more dramatic than what we see at CO2 vents.\" The effect of acidity is currently being felt most profoundly felt in the Arctic and Antarctic oceans. These chilly waters hold more CO2 and increasing levels of the gas are turning them acidic more rapidly than the rest of the world. The more acidic they become, the more damaging they are to the shells and skeletons of marine organisms. The researchers say that by 2020, ten percent of the Arctic will be inhospitable to species that build their shells from calcium carbonate. By 2100 the entire Arctic will be a hostile environment. These effects are already visible says Prof Gattuso. \"In the Southern Ocean, we already see corrosion of pteropods which are like sea snails, in the ocean we see corrosion of the shell. \"They are a key component in the food chain, they are eaten by fish, birds and whales, so if one element is going then there is a cascading impact on the whole food chain.\" The authors warn that the economic impact of the losses from aquaculture could be huge - the global cost of the decline in molluscs could be $130bn by 2100 if emissions of CO2 continue on their current pathway. Adding alkaline substances such as crushed limestone to the waters has been mooted as a potential way of mitigating the worst impacts of acidification. But Prof Gattuso says it would only have a limited effect. \"Maybe in bays which have a restricted exchange with open oceans it may work, it may give some local relief. \"But the latest research is showing that it is not really practical at a global scale. It is very expensive and very energy intensive.\" Marine protection zones would also give some short term benefit, but the scientists say that in the long term only significant cuts in emissions will slow the progress of acidification.

President Barack Obama said it \"speaks to larger issues\" between minorities and law enforcement. Attorney General Eric Holder announced a federal investigation of potential civil rights violations in the case. The Department of Justice will also conduct a \"complete review\" of material gathered in the local investigation, he said. He urged those who planned to demonstrate against the grand jury decision to do so peacefully, and said he was continuing a review of how to heal a \"breakdown in trust\" between law enforcement officers and communities. 'Astonished' A video of Officer Daniel Pantaleo arresting Garner in July sparked national attention. In the incident, asthmatic Garner, 43, was heard on the video shouting \"I can't breathe!\" as a number of officers restrained him on a street in New York. The decision not to charge the officer came just a week after another grand jury in Missouri did not charge a white police officer who killed a black teenager in Ferguson, sparking riots there and protests across the country. This week, in light of the Ferguson protests, President Obama sought emergency funding to improve police training and to restore trust in policing. The president's reaction to the Garner decision was swift. \"When anybody in this country is not being treated equally under the law, that is a problem, and it's my job as president to help solve it.\" New York Mayor Bill de Blasio called the grand jury outcome \"one that many in our city did not want\" and appealed for a \"peaceful, constructive\" response. Garner family lawyer Jonathon Moore said he was \"astonished\" by it and Eric Garner's daughter, Erica Snipes, told the BBC she was outraged. \"On that video you can see the most cruel horrible thing that someone could do to someone,\" she added. \"It's just not right.\" Mr Pantaleo issued a statement in which he said he was praying for Garner and his family. \"It is never my intention to harm anyone and I feel very bad about the death of Mr Garner,\" he said. \"I became a police officer to help people and to protect those who can't protect themselves.\" US Senator Kirsten Gillibrand called Garner's death a \"tragedy that demands accountability\". But Peter King, a Republican congressman from New York, defended the officer's action, saying Garner was a big man resisting arrest and it's not clear it was a chokehold. Mobile phone video of the incident shot by a witness showed Garner verbally refusing to be handcuffed. Mr Pantaleo restrained him, holding him by the neck. The city's medical examiner's office said Garner's death was caused by \"the compression of his chest and prone positioning during physical restraint by police\". But it said other factors contributing to his death included asthma and heart disease. Mr Pantaleo's lawyer had argued he had used a move taught by the police department, not a chokehold which is banned under New York Police Department policy. Following Garner's death, New York Police Commissioner William Bratton ordered officers at the nation's largest police department to undergo retraining on restraint.",

Experts have previously said the work failed to meet building regulations. The second phase of the investigation into the 2017 disaster at the London high-rise block, which claimed 72 lives, started on Monday. It is going to look at how the building came to be covered in flammable cladding during its refurbishment. Mr Millett said that, with the \"sole exception\" of the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea - which accepted that the refurbishment work should not have been signed off - all organisations had denied responsibility in \"carefully crafted statements\". \"Any member of the public reading those statements and taking them all at face value would be forced to conclude that... nobody made any serious or causative mistakes,\" he said. \"In every case, what happened was, as each of them would have it, someone else's fault.\" 'Dangerous' panels The tower, built in 1974, was extensively refurbished between 2012 and 2016. Mr Millett stressed that the first part of the inquiry found the work \"did not comply with certain key aspects of the building regulations\". The inquiry also heard that employees at the US metals manufacturer Arconic, which supplied the cladding for the west London tower block, knew before the fire that its panels were \"dangerous\" and should only be used on \"small buildings\". A barrister for building contractor Rydon said safety concerns were raised in internal Arconic emails in 2011 and again in 2016. That's when Arconic manager Claude Wehrle said the Grenfell cladding was \"dangerous on [the] facades\" and should be replaced. The cladding subcontractor Harley Facades said it did not choose the materials but had confidence in them, as the cladding had not ignited during a fire in 2012 in Camden, at a building it had refurbished five years before. The inquiry's first phase found the cladding was the \"principal\" reason for the rapid and \"profoundly shocking\" spread of the fire at the 25-storey building in June 2017. Families and friends of victims were present in the hearing room in Paddington as inquiry chairman Sir Martin Moore-Bick opened the second phase. Analysis By BBC home affairs correspondent Tom Symonds The first part of the Grenfell Inquiry had the task of examining the events of just one night. Part two could go back years in its search to explain the tragedy. It will look and feel different. A new hearing centre, closer to the community, replaces the previous unpopular conference room in the heart of London's legal district. Instead of the harrowing accounts of firefighters and residents, the evidence will emerge from emails, technical specifications and planning documents. It will be slow going, but it should get to the heart of what went wrong. Because although the training and management of the firefighters was criticised in part one, they were not the cause of the fire. The questions which will be answered are these: However dry the evidence could become, all those involved know this is about getting justice for those who died, because, at the end of this process, the public inquiry could be followed by a criminal trial. Opening submissions for the first three parts of the second phase of the inquiry are expected this week. These include an overview of the primary refurbishment of Grenfell Tower - including the cladding, the testing and certification of the cladding, and the fire safety measures including complaints and communications with the residents. The inquiry's first phase also concluded that \"many more lives\" could have been saved if the advice to residents to \"stay put\" had been abandoned earlier. It was highly critical of the London Fire Brigade and fire commissioner Dany Cotton, saying preparations for such a fire were \"gravely inadequate\". Ms Cotton retired early after facing calls from victims' families to resign. She had told the inquiry she would not have changed anything about the way her crews responded to the blaze, provoking anger from survivors and victims' families. The start of the second phase of the inquiry comes days after newly-appointed panel member Benita Mehra resigned over her links to Arconic's charitable arm.",

            "input": "By Philippa GoodrichBusiness reporter, BBC News Early last year, Sam Brown, a partner in the law firm Herbert Smith Freehills suffered what she calls a \"professional breakdown\". It started with her becoming very tired and stressed and despite her efforts to overcome those feelings, she says they just got worse. \"It came to the point where I couldn't really concentrate. I couldn't sleep properly and I started to be fearful about my work, that it wasn't going to finish, there was too much and I couldn't get a grip on it,\" she explains. Eventually Sam went \"kicking and screaming\" to a psychiatrist and was signed off from work for three months. She admits that even though she rested during that time she didn't get her head round what had caused her failure to cope. She returned to work, but suffered a second breakdown and spent two weeks in hospital before she recovered. Similarly Brian Heyworth, now the head of the client strategy business in HSBC's asset management arm, says it took him years to understand his condition. He suffered a psychiatric breakdown in early 2006. He says the trigger was stress, but his high-pressure, long-hours job in another bank was the catalyst not the cause. \"The blunt reality is that if I had been running a sweet shop I'd have still found myself in the same position\". After his collapse, which he says followed weeks of not sleeping and drinking too much, Brian was admitted to a clinic for two months. There it became clear that he had suffered from depression since his teens. Brian says the culture and environment in which he was working at the time wasn't conducive to helping him to recognise his illness, but he thinks the failure to acknowledge it goes deeper than that. \"Society, the world in which I was operating, the country in which I was operating - it was taboo.\" And he adds: \"although huge progress has been made in the UK in the last ten years, it is still quite taboo\". Sharing experiences It is in an attempt to break this taboo that Sam and Brian are so open about their mental health. They're part of a network called \"Minds@Work\" which has been set up by Geoff McDonald and colleagues Georgie Mack and Camilla Upson. Geoff, a former vice-president of human resources at Unilever, suffered his own bout of depression in 2008. This week the group held an event where business people, including Sam and Brian, shared their experiences. Not before time, according to Geoff. Despite the arrival of a younger, more open generation into the working world, he believes it is still \"a bastion of stigma\", but there is a good business case for companies to be open about depression and anxiety, he argues. \"More and more companies have got to start thinking about the well-being of their people as a way of ensuring that their people perform well.\" Geoff is not a lone voice. Campaigning groups such as Time to Change believe that more emphasis on employees' mental health could improve productivity and cut days lost to sickness. Some companies, including Brian Heyworth's employer, HSBC, now have well-being programmes in place. Healthy workplace But how does that translate into the real world of the workplace? Crossrail, which is currently building a railway across London and the surrounding areas, believes - perhaps because of the risks inherent in its work - that the robustness of its employees' mental health is as important as the physical. Its strategy includes everything from having well-being champions and mental health first aiders on each site, to regular \"toolbox talks\" where mental health might be discussed, to making sure the canteen offers decent, appetising food. Do employees take advantage of this support? At the company's noisy Stepney Green site in East London, where 320 workers are involved in the construction of a ventilation shaft and emergency staircases, engineer Kadar Duale is a site well-being champion. \"We find it very hard to get men to come to us,\" he admits, \"especially men in construction. They are seen as sort of the hard men.\" But, he adds, providing awareness through strategies such as the toolbox talks encourage people to be more confident and more involved in what's on offer. As Christina Butterworth, who leads the company's occupational health strategy and is on a well-being audit of the site, says, \"it's very easy to manage the physical because it's so obvious, it's much more difficult to manage the mental health.\" Leadership Christina says the company's focus on all aspects of its workers' health is beginning to bear fruit, but, as it has found, embedding a culture of openness doesn't happen overnight. Success depends on a push from the top, says occupational psychologist Emma Donaldson-Feilder. She thinks managers, at all levels, have a key role in promoting good practice - especially in our more stressful post-recession world of increased workload and lower job security. Her research shows it's about giving your staff the right degree of autonomy, about modelling a healthy attitude to work yourself and about knowing your team well enough to see when someone is struggling. \"I'm not recommending their manager becomes their counsellor, therapist, or doctor,\" she says, \"but I think as a manager if you can catch the signs early and just sit down and talk through with the person... what support they need, what changes they might make, that can be enough.\" Sam Brown echoes this approach, tough as it may be: \"Please talk to somebody.

His father Samuel Gildea was later jailed for 19 years for manslaughter. The inquest heard police repeatedly failed to \"appropriately\" assess the risk posed by Gildea. Greater Manchester Police said the force had since revised its domestic abuse policy. In court Gildea admitted causing Alfie's death in an \"act of deliberate and unlawful violence which involved rigorous and violent shaking\". He was found by his mother and died two days later at the Royal Manchester Children's Hospital. The inquest heard Gildea had a history of domestic abuse and should have been considered by GMP as a \"serious and serial domestic abuse perpetrator\". Blood samples taken from Gildea the day after his son's death showed traces of cocaine and cannabis in his system, consistent with recent use. Officers were called to a previous domestic incident at the home in July 2018 but failed to correctly assess the risk or recognise Gildea's \"coercive or controlling behaviour\", the inquest heard. GMP passed information on to Trafford Council's Children's Services, but they failed to review all the material and the case was closed without \"effective communication\" with other agencies. 'Serial domestic abuser' The Health Visitor Service was also made aware of the incident but did not correctly assess the level of risk or engage with Alfie's mother. Police were called to another incident a month later and officers again did not recognise Gildea as a serial domestic abuser, the hearing was told. Social workers and health visitors were again notified but again failed to realise the level of risk. Coroner Alison Much said: \"The failure by GMP, Children's Services and the Health Visitor Service to share information effectively, to appropriately assess the level of risk and effectively communicate the level of risk to Alfie's mother after the incident on 10 July 2018 probably contributed to Alfie's death\". A GMP spokesman said the force was considering procedural changes. He said: \"We recognise that reports of domestic abuse are often extremely complex and must involve the expertise of specialists from partner agencies from the very outset in order to provide the best support possible.\" Trafford Council did not respond to a request for a comment.",

            "input": "By Matt McGrathEnvironment correspondent, BBC News The scientists argue that modern life disrupts our sleep through exposure to electric light and reduced access to sunlight. But after spending time in the great outdoors, the researchers say the body clocks of eight volunteers synchronised with sunrise and sunset. The research has been published in the journal Current Biology. All life forms on earth have evolved biological rhythms that anticipate sunrise and sunset. Researchers have found that the widespread availability of electric lighting from the 1930s onwards has affected our internal circadian clocks, allowing us to stay up much later than evolution intended. The scientists in this study first analysed a small group of volunteers as they went about their normal lives, and recorded their exposure to natural and artificial light. By looking at levels of the hormone, melatonin, they concluded that the lighting of our modern environment causes around a two hour delay in circadian clocks. Melatonin rises just before we go to sleep and decreases through the night until we wake up. The study participants tended to stay up until after midnight and to wake up around eight in the morning. Their melatonin levels, however were still high for several hours after they got up, indicating they were out of synch with their natural rhythms. In tents research The scientists then took the volunteers camping for a week in Colorado. Flashlights and electronic devices were banned, the only night time light was the glow of a campfire. The result was that the waking and sleeping patterns of all eight volunteers synchronised with the rising and setting of the Sun. \"They all shifted to an earlier time,\" said Prof Kenneth Wright from the University of Colorado in Boulder. \"Everyone's clock shifted but those later night owls shifted to an even greater extent.\" What surprised the scientific team was the increase in the amount of sunlight the volunteers experienced through their camping experience, around 400% more than they were normally exposed to. \"We think that modern electric lighting patterns and a reduction in exposure to sunlight are contributing to later sleep schedules and difficulties with alertness in the morning,\" said Prof Wright. \"After exposure to the natural light dark cycle, melatonin levels were low just before the volunteers woke up, suggesting our brain is starting to promote wakefulness after we have been exposed to these natural cues.\" While the sleeping patterns of the volunteers shifted back about two hours, the total amount of time they spent sleeping stayed the same. The small scale of the study leaves many questions unanswered - would similar effects be found on people who normally lived with more or less exposure to light for instance? Prof Wright acknowledges that there is much more work to be done. \"We'd love to see this followed up in different parts of the world. We are studying healthy people, we'd like to see people who have real sleep problems. This is just the first step,\" he said. And while it's not possible for everyone to go camping all the time, the scientists say that some small, simple changes to the way we live our lives could help us attain some of the benefits of sleeping under the stars. \"Start off your day with a walk outside,\" said Prof Wright. \"At night reduce lights in the house, dim computer and electronic devices. We are sensitive to dim light levels, even the light from cell phones in the evening hours is a cue that pushes our clocks to a later time.\" Follow Matt on Twitter.",

            "input": "Jonathan MarcusDiplomatic correspondent@Diplo1on Twitter Small numbers of foreign nationals are already ill. Governments whose citizens abroad have been unlucky to be caught up are weighing up the dilemmas of repatriation and isolating those who may be carriers of the virus once home. Some countries have closed their borders to Chinese nationals altogether. And, in some quarters, there has - perhaps inevitably - been an unpleasant and quite unfair stigmatisation of China and the Chinese. The immediate economic impact of the crisis is also apparent. In the first place those industries that depend upon the movement of goods and people - tourism, airlines, the operators of cruise ships and commercial shipping lines - are already suffering. The crisis has thrown into stark relief the global supply chain behind many of the products we take for granted. The supply of mobile phones, microprocessors, spare parts for the motor industry may all be interrupted. Even the service sector, for example foreign universities who have set up off-shoots in China, will find its income threatened. How long this will all last is impossible to say. So too its ramifications for Beijing. It depends upon how the epidemic plays out. As Bonnie Glaser, director of the China Power Project at the Washington think-tank the Center for Strategic and International Studies, notes: \"The impact on perception of Xi Jinping at home and abroad will depend on the duration of the virus and its impact on the Chinese economy.\" \"If the Chinese Communist Party can control the spread of the epidemic and end the crisis,\" she argues, \"few people inside China will continue to criticise the party for its initial slow response and efforts to cover up the outbreak.\" Many countries who have sought investment from China as part of its Belt and Road initiative will continue to do so, she told me. \"They'll continue to want Chinese loans for infrastructure projects since there aren't other sources of financing.\" But what may be the lasting impact of the crisis? To what extent could it change perceptions of China and especially of President Xi Jinping himself and indeed the whole direction in which he is taking his country? How could the fallout from the coronavirus impact the key relationship between Beijing and Washington? And with clear signs of a technological \"cold war\" already developing between the US and China - the battle over 5G and artificial intelligence - could the tensions surrounding the virus outbreak make things worse? So first of all what does the crisis tell us about China itself? Elizabeth Economy, director for Asia Studies at the Council on Foreign Relations, says that inside China there are essentially two distinct narratives. \"The first, which is already being advanced by China's diplomatic corps, is that China has taken extraordinary measures to contain the virus - both for the sake of its own people and as a gift to the rest of the world,\" she says. These actions, they say, \"are enabled by China's particular top-down authoritarian model\". But then there is a second narrative, Economy argues, that says, \"China lost precious time in addressing the crisis because of its political system and its determination to silence independent voices.\" \"Also under Xi Jinping, local officials have become more afraid to acknowledge that things are not going well. This too has hampered an effective response.\" As a long-time China-watcher, Elizabeth Economy told me that what she found especially concerning was \"that even in the wake of Dr Li Wenliang's death, the Communist Party continues to hunt down independent voices\". Dr Li was seen by many in China as a whistleblower and hero; the man who first highlighted the threat posed by the Wuhan virus outbreak. He himself succumbed to the disease. \"One might have hoped,\" says Economy, \"that his death - and the popular response to it - would have signalled to the Chinese leadership the value of transparency and a more open civil society in mounting an effective response to a nationwide crisis.\" So much for perceptions inside China itself, but what about the rest of the world? Elizabeth Economy says that she does not think that the coronavirus will change perceptions of the Chinese government, rather she argues, \"it will simply feed into pre-existing beliefs. Supporters will stress the impressive mobilisation of resources, while detractors will focus on the lack of transparency and concern over the accuracy of Chinese information.\" On the economic front though it could be significant, even just by throwing into stark relief things that we already know. The disease outbreak has underscored the significance of China to the global economy and the importance of diversified supply chains. And this, according to Elizabeth Economy, \"will perhaps encourage more companies not to place too much of their manufacturing in China or rely too heavily on the Chinese consumer market.\" At the recent annual security conference that I attended in Munich, the shadow of the coronavirus and its likely impact upon the medium- and long-term relationship between Washington and Beijing overshadowed much of the debate. Ian Bremmer, founder and chief strategist of Eurasia Group, the leading political risk and consulting firm, told me that the crisis had the potential to significantly re-shape the US-China business relationship, though not exactly for the reasons that many people might think. \"US companies,\" he told me, \"have long been thinking about reducing supply chain exposure to China given increasing trade hostilities, in addition to a Chinese labour force that is increasingly expensive and inefficient.\" With coronavirus, he explains \"US companies may now have the excuse they need to actually make that move. That's obviously an extreme example, but it's a very real prospect down the line, the longer coronavirus continues to cause mayhem.\" At the very least, he argues, \"the coronavirus makes it highly unlikely that China will be able to fully implement the 'Phase One' trade deal it just signed with the US, further intensifying the trend of decoupling between the US and China.\" Bonnie Glaser agrees that China will have difficulty meeting the commitments it made in the \"Phase One\" deal. But, she argues, \"the US will likely cut Beijing some slack\". \"With his eye on re-election,\" she notes, \"President Trump will celebrate his achievement and seek to preserve good relations with Xi, while pledging to make more progress in 'Phase Two'. 2020,\" she says, \"is going to be a year of treading water.\" Here we see the crucial inter-section of economics, diplomacy and domestic politics. Each has a part to play in the relationship between Washington and Beijing, but the salience or relative weight of each factor varies depending upon the circumstances. As Ian Bremmer notes, \"for the time being, Trump has been quite positive about President Xi's handling of the situation\". But, he argues, \"that's largely been the result of Trump being relatively shielded from the fallout of the coronavirus crisis himself\". All this could quite easily change, Bremmer asserts. \"Should the coronavirus start having real economic impact in the US - and in an election year no less - we're more likely to see President Trump go after Xi much more aggressively. \"And this won't just be empty rhetoric. Given the bipartisan hawkishness on China that already exists more broadly in the US these days\", he concludes, \"a Trump decision to turn on Xi would have real impact on the relationship between the world's only two economic superpowers.\" This bipartisan hostility to China was clearly in evidence at the Munich conference. The Speaker of the US House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, headed a large congressional delegation and she was outspoken against the Chinese, especially concerning technological rivalry. But to my ear this wasn't just about business or technology. There was a clear ideological element to the debate. Mark Esper, the US defence secretary, preferred to refer to the actions of the \"Chinese Communist Party\" rather than \"China\". Thus the coronavirus crisis has the potential to dramatically worsen the already deteriorating climate between Washington and Beijing. And this could have much broader consequences, not least for the Europeans (or indeed for Washington's Asian allies), who will be caught in the middle. I asked Ian Bremmer if what we saw in Munich - bullish interventions on China from Nancy Pelosi, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Defence Secretary Esper - amounted to the declaration of a new global \"high-technology cold war\" between the US and China. \"Close to it,\" was his answer. But he stressed that the Europeans had no interest in getting caught in the middle of this brewing high-tech cold war. \"Indeed,\" he noted, \"it's the first time in the transatlantic relationship you've ever seen the Americans and the Europeans in such disagreement over what their respective top national security concerns should be.\" This in turn could have a profound impact on the already somewhat strained relationship between the US and some of its Nato partners. \"As much as the Americans may be gearing up for a 'cold war' vis-à-vis China on tech,\" Bremmer told me, \"at the moment it's looking increasingly like a bilateral 'cold war' rather than a global one. And as the Americans begin to actually pivot to Asia on security matters and the Europeans don't, it's also looking likely that there are even rougher waters ahead for the transatlantic relationship.\" Correction 4 March 2020: An earlier version of this article referred to the Coronavirus as a pandemic.

The Resolution Foundation report calls on the government to follow its initiative requiring companies with more than 250 employees to publish gender pay gaps highlighting the different treatment of male and female employees by doing the same according to ethnic background. It noted that BAME workers have long earned less, on average, than white male workers, due in part due to differences in qualification levels and the types of jobs they do. But the foundation said its \"pay penalty\" calculation took into account factors including industry sector, occupations, contract types, education level and degree attainment of individual workers. 'Diversity good for businesses' The foundation's research says the biggest impact was on black male graduates, who were paid 17%, or £3.90 an hour, less compared to their white peers.

And earlier work by the same team, published in PLoS ONE, identified the toxin-producing strain of C. perfringens in a young woman with MS. But experts urge caution, saying more work is needed to explore the link. No-one knows the exact cause of Multiple sclerosis (MS), but it is likely that a mixture of genetic and environmental factors play a role. It's a neurological condition which affects around 100,000 people in the UK. Bacteria C. perfringens, found in soil and contaminated undercooked meat, comes in different strains. Most cases of human infection occur as food poisoning - diarrhoea and stomach cramps that usually resolve within a day or so. More rarely, the bacterium can cause gas gangrene. And a particular strain of C. perfringens, Type B, which the Weill team says it identified in a human for the first time, makes a toxin that can travel through blood to the brain. In their lab studies on rodents the researchers found that the toxin, called epsilon, crossed the blood-brain barrier and killed myelin-producing cells - the typical damage seen in MS. Lead investigator Jennifer Linden said the findings are important because if it can be confirmed that epsilon toxin is a trigger of MS, a vaccine or antibody against the toxin might be able to halt or prevent this debilitating disease. She presented the group's latest findings at a meeting of the American Society for Microbiology. Dr Susan Kohlhaas, Head of Biomedical Research at the MS Society, said: \"Discovering potential causes or triggers for MS could enable us to develop better treatments or even, one day, prevent the condition. This is interesting research but the findings now need to be validated in larger studies to establish if this toxin really is a potential trigger for MS.\"",

            "input": "Mr Dvorkovich outmanoeuvred his opponents in the three-way vote on Wednesday after a fiercely contested election. He is taking over from fellow Russian Kirsan Ilyumzhinov, ousted in July. Mr Dvorkovich was crowned after British chess grandmaster Nigel Short broke a lengthy stalemate by withdrawing his candidacy. The Russian candidate then defeated the only remaining candidate, current deputy president Georgios Makropoulos, by 103 votes to 78. He becomes the first new president since 1995. His predecessor, Mr Ilyumzhinov, was forced out over the summer amid allegations of facilitating transactions with the Syrian government - something which landed him with US sanctions, and briefly froze the federations's bank accounts. He denies any wrongdoing - but the affair cast a long shadow over the election, which was marred by accusations of corruption and political meddling. The players Arkady Dvorkovich has both political and chess credentials. Until May 2018, he served as Russian deputy prime minister and is also a member of the Supervisory Board of the Russian Chess Federation. More recently, he was one of the chief organisers of the Fifa World Cup. His main opponent was widely seen as Georgios Makropoulos, the Greek deputy president of Fide. Mr Makropoulos struggled to distance himself from former president Kirsan Ilyumzhinov, who he served under. England's Nigel Short is best known for an unsuccessful challenge against Russia's world chess champion Garry Kasparov in 1993. He has vowed to stamp out corruption and is a long-time critic of Fide leadership - but in 2015, he angered women chess players when he suggested women were not suited to the game. Addressing the delegates, he complained of mismanagement and \"an open culture of bullying\", chess news site Chess.com reports. Mid-speech, he stopped the clock, dramatically announcing his resignation from the race and his support for Mr Dvorkovich. A Russian pawn? Mr Dvorkovich's candidacy was not without controversy - particularly given his high standing in Russian political circles. The Times newspaper reports that Russia has been manoeuvring behind the scenes to win votes for Mr Dvorkovich. Russia dismissed the claims as \"lies and inconsistencies\", and accused Mr Makropolous of being behind them. In a BBC interview in September, Mr Dvorkovich said the Kremlin had \"not been provided with any evidence\" that two Russian agents had carried out the poisonings of Sergei and Yulia Skripal in southern England. The English Chess Federation felt that was the wrong play, and released a statement backing Mr Makropoulos, saying Mr Short's campaign had \"little traction\". Mr Short, however, was unmoved. He said the process had been \"rigged\", but expressed support for Mr Dvorkovich before the vote, arguing his views on the Skripals had nothing to do with his ability to root out corruption in chess. Mr Short, says the Financial Times, might be playing a long game. He was not likely to secure enough votes this time round, but could have run to boost his profile before the next election in 2022. The next move The new president of Fide will get to decide who stages tournaments and how money is spent. But whoever wins, they're unlikely to be as colourful as Mr Ilyumzhinov, who once claimed on television to have met aliens on board a spaceship. In addition to his alleged dealings with the Syrian government, he was president of the Republic of Kalmykia, a small Buddhist region of Russia which lies on the shores of the Caspian Sea, for 17 years. A chequered past, you might say.",

In a rare move, state-run TV and the official KCNA news agency hailed the talks and the leaders' commitment to seek \"complete denuclearisation\". The summit came just months after warlike rhetoric from the North. It saw Mr Kim become the first North Korean leader to set foot in South Korea since the end of the Korean War in 1953. The two men warmly shook hands and then stepped symbolically over the military demarcation line to the North Korean side. For years, Pyongyang has insisted that it would never give up its nuclear arsenal, which it claims it needs to defend itself against aggression from the US. Seeing even a small mention of denuclearisation in a public newspaper will be perceived as a breakthrough by South Korean officials, says the BBC's Laura Bicker in Seoul. What is in the agreement? The two leaders said they would pursue talks with the US and China to formally end the Korean War, which ended in 1953 with a truce, not total peace. The commitment to denuclearisation does not explicitly refer to North Korea halting its nuclear activities but rather to the aim of \"a nuclear-free Korean peninsula\". Catch me up The statement talks about this taking place in a phased manner, but does not include further details. Many analysts remain sceptical about the North's apparent enthusiasm for engagement. Previous inter-Korean agreements have been abandoned after the North resorted to nuclear and missile tests and the South elected more conservative presidents. Mr Kim said the two leaders had agreed to work to prevent a repeat of the region's \"unfortunate history\" in which progress had \"fizzled out\". Other points the leaders agreed on in a joint statement were: Will the summit lead to peace? By Dr John Nilsson-Wright, Chatham House and University of Cambridge Mr Kim's bold decision to stride confidently into nominally hostile territory reflects the young dictator's confidence and acute sense of political theatre and expertly executed timing. His clever, seemingly spontaneous gesture to President Moon to reciprocate his step into the South by having him join him for an instance in stepping back into the North was an inspired way of asserting the equality of the two countries and their leaders. It also, by blurring the boundary between the two countries, hinted at the goal of unification that both Seoul and Pyongyang have long sought to realise. The rest of the day was full of visual firsts and a set of cleverly choreographed images of the two leaders chatting informally and intimately in the open air - deliberately advancing a powerful new narrative of the two Koreas as agents of their own destiny. Read full analysis from Dr John Nilsson-Wright What did China and the US say? China, North Korea's ally, and the United States both welcomed the outcome of the talks. On Saturday, President Donald Trump tweeted that \"things are going well\" and that preparations were being made for his own meeting with Mr Kim in the coming weeks. Earlier he pledged continue to exert maximum pressure on North Korea, saying: \"We're not going to be played, OK?\" US officials are still deciding where to hold the summit, but Mongolia and Singapore are understood to be two countries on the shortlist. Singapore's Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong told reporters on Saturday that the city-state had so far received no formal request to host the event. How did we get here? Few had predicted a development like this, as North Korea continued its nuclear and missile tests and stepped up its rhetoric through 2016 and 2017. The rapprochement began in January when Mr Kim suggested he was \"open to dialogue\" with South Korea. The following month the two countries marched under one flag at the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics, held in the South. Mr Kim announced last week that he was suspending nuclear tests. Chinese researchers have indicated that North Korea's nuclear test site may be unusable after a rock collapse.",

He said he was \"impatient\" for answers. The VW boss also warned that the €6.7bn (£5.2bn) set aside to cover the costs of the scandal might not be enough. \"I've postponed our year-end financial results and the AGM to improve their quality, so that we can be even more confident and take even more care and diligence in establishing the figures. \"Then we'll see if we have to make additional provisions, over and above the 6.7bn [euros],\" he added. Mr Mueller said an internal inquiry could be ready in April. Last September, US authorities discovered that VW used computer software to massage emissions data during tests, sparking the biggest crisis in VW's history and leading to the departure of Mr Mueller's predecessor. The US Justice Department is suing VW for breaching environmental laws, and VW has been ordered to fix almost 600,000 diesel vehicles in the country fitted with so-called \"defeat devices\". However, about 11 million vehicles globally have been fitted with the devices. Mr Mueller told the BBC that it had been a \"grave mistake… We have lost a lot of trust with our customers, and we now need to win them back\". 'The truth' He added: \"We need to face the allegations of the authorities, and I expect a fair ruling here. And then it's important to look ahead, and to make Volkswagen into an even better company.\" But he said he would not pre-empt the internal inquiry underway by lawyers Jones Day into what management knew about the emissions issues before it was exposed. After publication of the report \"we will know the whole story, and the truth will be on the table,\" Mr Mueller promised. \"It is simply expedient that we carefully consider the whole situation to bring the truth to light. The complexities require time and care,\" he said. He insisted, however, that VW had not been \"paralysed\" by the emissions crisis and that it was looking to \"the future with confidence\".",

            "input": "By Cathy KillickBBC Look North I've been a reporter for the BBC for more than 30 years. In that time I've interviewed dozens of people who have experienced loss. I've done my best to convey their emotion faithfully, not having experienced it myself. Now I find I am one of those people. I've always been struck by the bravery of those I've talked to and I've always been grateful to them too. Journalism can only exist if people are willing to share their stories, so I'm going to share mine not because I'm brave, but because I owe them. My parents' deaths came at the end of a horrible year. They lived in a care home 10 minutes' walk from where I live in Leeds. Before Covid, I would visit them pretty much every day. My dad, Ted, had dementia and lived on the top floor. My mum, Elizabeth, had Parkinson's and lived on the ground floor with fewer staff because she was pretty independent. She could pop up to see my dad whenever she liked. They were happy in their care home. It was a cheerful, bustling place with a coffee bar and plenty of places to socialise. The staff were lovely too, and made an effort to get to know my parents. Whenever I visited, I saw kindness. When Covid arrived, the socialising had to stop. I saw my dad just a handful of times between March and December. I'm haunted by the thought that he felt abandoned by me and my mum. He didn't really understand anything about the virus as his dementia was quite severe. My mum, however, had the great good luck to have a room at the front of the building where I could stand on the pavement and talk to her on the phone while looking at her through her window. She called it \"swinging by\" and her face would light up when I appeared. She was confined to her room for much of the time as her carers did everything they could to minimise the chance of infection. They did really well to keep the home Covid-free for as long as they did. In late November, I got the call I had been dreading. My dad had tested positive. Removing someone with dementia from their familiar surroundings can cause great distress. His GP also felt that he would not tolerate the breathing treatments on offer. Together, my brothers, sister and I decided Dad should stay at the home and receive care from the district nursing team. We were allowed to visit him individually and for short periods wearing PPE. He was very sleepy and unable to acknowledge our presence. I held his hand and told him what a great dad he'd been, not knowing if I'd ever see him again. He died 12 days after his positive test at the age of 87. My dad had had a really full life. He came from a long line of Lincolnshire farmers but stayed in the Army after doing National Service. He joined the Royal Artillery and had glamorous postings to Hong Kong, Malaysia, and Germany. He bought a caravan and took us camping on wild sites with no facilities apart from a tap. He cooked up adventures for us - mackerel fishing in a tiny rowing boat. The Army gives you friends for life and many of them wrote me such lovely letters of condolence. They talked about his kindness and lively interest in other people. He would never describe himself as such but Dad was a feminist. He encouraged me and my sister in our careers, and taught us to face the world with courage and friendliness. He met my mother in 1955. She was a year younger and the daughter of one of his senior officers, so well used to Army life. She shared his sense of adventure. She loved bodyboarding and camping too. They had four children. But, by the 1970s, she wanted more from life than being a wife and mother. It had always rankled with her that her parents had not felt it worthwhile for girls to go to university. So, at the age of 37, she went to college to get a teaching degree. She used her dressing table as a desk and studied at several different colleges as Army postings moved us all round the country. She became a primary school teacher and really loved her work, gaining a master's degree in children's literature. Reading was one of the things that kept Mum going during the long months of lockdown but I could see she was losing heart. From the outside, she took Dad's death very calmly. But two days before his funeral, she had a stroke. The hospital was not allowing visitors, but they made an exception for me on compassionate grounds. My mum had lost her husband of 63 years, yet no-one had been able to give her a kiss or a hug in consolation. I was allowed to see her once to tell her about Dad's funeral. It was painful that so few people could attend his send-off but the Royal Artillery Association sent a standard-bearer and a trumpeter to play the Last Post and represent all of his Army colleagues. It made a big difference to our sense of doing right by our father. I took some photos to show my mum in hospital. I think that visit was one of the toughest experiences of my life. My mother was so frail and so sad and I felt broken myself. Mum left hospital just before Christmas and went back to the care home to recover. She was doing well, able to walk about with her frame and we had some good chats through the window on the phone. The vaccine was starting to be rolled out and we talked about trips out and going for a drive to Almscliffe Crag - a local beauty spot she liked. Then, on one of my \"swing-bys\", Mum didn't smile when I tapped on her window. She looked dreadful and her speech was slurred. It seemed as though she was having another stroke, but after she'd arrived at hospital she tested positive for Covid. For six days, I couldn't see her. Then came the call that I could. On Covid wards, that usually only means one thing - that the patient is not expected to recover. She could not go back to the care home because it was Covid-free, so Mum came home to me - to a hospital bed, set up in our sitting room. I am so grateful to the district nursing team, carers and night sitters who made that possible. They were outstanding and treated us all with such compassion and kindness. Those last days with Mum were intensely moving. We played her music and read her poems and tried to repay her for all the love she'd shown us over the years. Over the course of five days, her breathing slowly became more and more shallow. My siblings sat with her on FaceTime and carers came four times a day to change her position and keep her clean and comfortable. I will never forget those carers. The respect and tenderness they gave a stranger was the most humbling thing I've ever seen. For me, it transcends the misery and privations of the pandemic. It gives me something precious to hold on to and has left me with a memory of something truly beautiful. In the weeks since, I have been on the receiving end of so much kindness and thoughtfulness. Our lovely neighbours shopped for us while we were isolating after Mum's death. Friends have left cake and gin on the doorstep. Cards, flowers and letters have cheered me up with memories of my parents. These small acts have made a big difference. Never despise these little things, or think them insignificant. They are the best of us and they are what make our current times bearable. Related Internet Links Coronavirus (COVID-19) - NHS",

The ferries may be needed in case of congestion on south east coast roads. In December the Department for Transport contracted three suppliers to provide additional capacity on cross-channel ferries that carry lorries. Brittany Ferries and Danish ferry company DFDS will run the additional services after the government's deal with the third supplier it contracted - Seaborne Freight - collapsed. Shortly after it was awarded the contract, the BBC found out that Seaborne had no ships and had never run a ferry service. A number of ports, including Portsmouth, Plymouth and Immingham, are part of the government's contingency planning for a no-deal. They could be used by the government's additional ferry services to avoid the feared bottlenecks at Dover and Calais. The government has begun to pay for these additional services to operators. Even though the importers will still pay for their transit into the UK, it is unlikely that the government will recoup the costs. This is part of its no-deal contingency budgets. These services will help to ensure that crucial - so called \"category one goods\" get through to the UK, in the event of a no-deal. Such goods typically include medicines for the NHS and chemicals needed for the UK water system and additives needed for fuels. Current predictions from the Department for Transport, are that in the event of a no-deal, the first few weeks after exiting the EU will be fine for logistics. They believe this to be the case because lots of UK businesses and government departments have stockpiled goods. But, as weeks progress, they expect the situation could become very different. Flight disruption? The government source also confirmed that almost all their flight agreements are now in place, stipulating that there should be no disruption to flights. But the crunch point could be customs checks for passengers. Even though the planes are on-time and flying, can passport inspectors in the UK and overseas process the huge numbers of travellers who will become third country nationals from outside the EU quickly enough? However, some airports on the continent that are hugely popular with tourists from the UK, have guaranteed the government that they are ready for any outcome. They are well aware they need to protect their very important tourist incomes from British holidaymakers. Eurostar will see a severe change to its operation in the event of no deal. Recent delays were exacerbated by customs officials in France striking because of testing no deal customs checks. If those new checks become reality, it is thought that up to 50% of services could be cancelled Planning for Operation Stack, the holding pattern for lorries in Kent in the event of huge delays on the approach to Dover, is almost all complete. The government says that Manston Airport, the disused airfield just north of Dover which will be a huge lorry park, will be fully operational by next Friday if the UK leaves the EU with no deal. The problem could be for passengers. For freight and lorries, substantial plans are in place, to keep drivers in static position for hours. But for people in cars, waiting for similar times is not an option. If the delays become protracted, sources suggest that the government may issue guidance that people should not travel.",

That is four more than the previous week. Nisra said the closure of registration offices for St Patrick's Day may have affected figures for both weeks. It brings the agency's total of Covid-19 related registered deaths to 2,905. The Department of Health's total for the same date, based on a positive test result being recorded, was 2,108. On Friday, it recorded one further death linked to Covid-19, bringing its total to 2,116. Nisra's figures are higher because it records mentions of the virus on death certificates, where it may or may not have been confirmed by way of a test. On the agency's measure, almost two-thirds of Covid-19 related deaths have happened in hospital (1,910), including the deaths of 236 care home residents. Taking that figure, and the 770 who died in care homes, it means care home residents account for just over a third (34.6%) of all Covid-19 related deaths. Covid-19 related deaths were also recorded in hospices (0.5%) and other residential locations (7.4%). People aged 75 and over account for more than three-quarters of all Covid-19 related registered deaths (76.4%) between 19 March 2020 and 26 March 2021.

She beat Sakina Sheikh and Claudia Webbe to run as the party's candidate for the by-election on 14 June. Brenda Dacres pulled out of the contest on Friday because of health reasons. Ms Daby said it was an \"honour\" to be put forward to run for Parliament. Jeremy Corbyn congratulated Ms Daby and said she would make a \"great advocate\" for people in Lewisham. The by-election was sparked by the resignation of Heidi Alexander, who is going to work for London Mayor Sadiq Khan. Ms Alexander won the south-east London constituency by more than 21,000 votes in last year's general election, with the Conservatives second and Liberal Democrats third. She is to become London's new deputy mayor for transport. Analysis by Susana Mendonça, BBC London political reporter Janet Daby's selection will be seen as a boost for the Labour Party's centrists. Her views on Brexit put her at odds with party leader Jeremy Corbyn. He has ruled out remaining in the single market - but Ms Daby was cheered by Labour members as she told them she was \"pro-EU\" and wanted to \"stay in the single market and customs union\". Heidi Alexander claimed Jeremy Corbyn's shadow cabinet was dysfunctional when she quit it. So there had been speculation that she might be replaced with a more left-wing candidate. But Sakina Sheikh, who was backed by Momentum and is thought to be a favourite of Corbyn's, along with Claudia Webbe - who had the support of several unions - both lost by a long way. Ms Daby received more than 60% of the vote.",

Baroness O'Loan called for anyone with information to come forward, to relieve the acute pain felt by the families whose loved ones are still missing. She said such information could never be used in any criminal prosecution. \"If they could think of it in terms of if they lost a child or if they were lost as a child, they wandered off from their parents and the terror that invokes, and then imagine that terror for the next 30, 40 years., when you just don't know what has happened,\" she said. \"I think that they may not understand that the tiny, tiny bit of information that they have may be critical for recovering the body and it may lead to somebody else coming forward.\" Since searches began, the bodies of 10 of the Disappeared have be recovered, but seven are still missing. 'Abducted' Baroness O'Loan has been working with the victims group WAVE and made her appeal on BBC Radio Ulster's Sunday Sequence programme. She said: \"In each case, this wasn't one or two people who were involved in taking someone away and shooting them and burying them, there were whole teams involved. \"There was someone who abducted them, there was someone probably who questioned them, there was someone who drove them away, there was someone who dug a grave, there was someone who scouted out the way forward, when they were taking them away to shoot them,\" the baroness said. She added there were also those who shot the victims and those who closed up the graves, and all could provide information to ease the families' suffering, without fear of prosecution. 'Complete protection' \"Anybody who comes forward with this information has a guarantee of anonymity. If they hold a great position in their local society, it will not be known that they are the person who provided the information.\" Baroness O'Loan added: \"Under the legislation that the government passed, any evidence or any information which emerges in the course of recovering one of these seven bodies can never be used in any legal proceedings, so there is, if you like, a complete protection for the information.\" The day of reflection is due to take place on Friday 21 June, the longest day of the year.

A campaign to help the baby begun online after Thai newspaper Thairath published Gammy's story last week. It has raised more than A$150,000 ($140,000; £83,000) from 3,400 donors in 11 days. In Australia, Prime Minister Tony Abbott expressed his sadness: \"I guess it illustrates some of the pitfalls involved in this particular business. \"It's a very, very, sad story and I hate to think that, you know, a child could be abandoned like that.\" Abortion refused Ms Pattaramon was paid $15,000 (£9,000) to be a surrogate for the couple, whose identities remain unknown. She was told of the child's condition four months after becoming pregnant, prompting the couple to ask her to have an abortion. She refused, saying it was against her Buddhist beliefs. Tares Krassanairawiwong, a Thai health official, said it was illegal to pay for surrogacy in Thailand and surrogates must be related to the natural parents.

            "input": "By Reality Check teamBBC News Mr Cummings was highly critical about policies and individuals - including the Health Secretary Matt Hancock and Boris Johnson himself. We've looked at the context around some of his claims. \"We were told categorically in March that people would be tested before they went back to care homes. We only subsequently found out that that hadn't happened.\" Mr Cummings claimed that Matt Hancock had told him and the prime minister that people were going to be tested before they were sent back from hospitals to care homes. He is correct that this did not happen until well into April, but we can't verify what Mr Hancock said to Mr Cummings and Mr Johnson at the time. A spokesperson for the health secretary has rejected the claims. On 19 March, NHS guidance said that \"unless required to be in hospital, patients must not remain in an NHS bed\". This policy was implemented to free up beds in advance of an expected surge in coronavirus patients. On 2 April, the rules on discharging to care homes were clarified, saying \"negative [coronavirus] tests are not required prior to transfers/admissions into the care home\". It wasn't until 15 April that the government said that all patients discharged from hospitals would be tested for coronavirus. By this time, an estimated 25,000 patients had been discharged to care homes. In July, Panorama gathered data from 39 hospital trusts, which showed three-quarters of people discharged were untested. At a news conference on 27 May, Mr Hancock said: \"My recollection of events is that I committed to delivering that testing for people going from hospital into care homes when we could do it.\" \"I then went away and built the testing capacity… and then delivered on the commitment that I made.\" There had been more than 40,000 deaths of care home residents involving Covid-19 in England and Wales up to 2 April 2021. You can read more about the early guidance here. \"I started getting calls and Number 10 were getting calls saying 'Hancock is interfering with the building of the test and trace system because he is telling everybody what to do to maximise his chances of hitting his stupid target by the end of the month'\" Last year, the health secretary set a target of hitting 100,000 tests a day by the end of April 2020. The government announced on 1 May that this had been reached but as we pointed out that figure included 40,000 tests that were in the post to people (who hadn't therefore actually used them). This resulted in criticism from the official statistics watchdog. The number of tests was below 20,000 a day for most of April, but accelerated rapidly in the last week of the month. It was about 50,000 on 29 April, 80,000 on 30 April and then over 120,000 on 1 May. Mr Cummings also alleges that to reach the 100,000 figure, Matt Hancock was calling people asking them to \"hold tests back so I can hit my target\". Mr Hancock's spokesperson say he rejects Mr Cummings' claims. \"One of the critical things that was completely wrong in the whole official thinking... in February-March was: First of all, the British public will not accept a lockdown. Secondly, the British public will not accept what was thought of as an east Asian-style track and trace-type system\" Mr Cummings was responding to a question about his previous criticism of advice from behavioural scientists. But minutes from a meeting of the behavioural science advisers, SPI-B on 12 March suggest they thought people would accept restrictions. They note: \"Expectations of how the Government will react will be set by media reports of public health strategies in other countries. This increases the risk of public concern if interventions that are perceived to be effective are not applied\". According to YouGov polling, on 27 March 2020, a day after a national lockdown was imposed, 74% of the public approved of quarantining anyone who had \"been in contact with a contaminated patient\". The same poll found 67% approval in Singapore but over 80% in Malaysia. UK public support for cancelling large events was higher, ahead of European countries such as France, Italy and Germany, as well as east Asian countries such as Hong Kong and Malaysia The proportion of people saying they were complying with lockdown rules were also high. According to University College London's ongoing Covid Social Study, compliance with government guidelines actually peaked in January this year, when a third national lockdown was reintroduced. However, research on the number of people following instructions to self-isolate tells a different story. A report by the Public Accounts Committee in March raised concern over a \"lack of compliance\" with Test and Trace self-isolation rules, quoting \"estimates of the proportion of people fully complying with requirements ranging from 10% to 59%\". \"Obviously, we should have shut the borders in January [2020]\" Between January and March 2020, the UK introduced some measures to protect itself from the new virus. Quarantine was imposed on 273 arrivals from Wuhan in China while travellers from other parts of China, Iran and Northern Italy were asked to isolate voluntarily for 14 days. Those requirements were withdrawn on 13 March, 10 days before the first lockdown started. Mr Cummings said the advice to government had been that closing the borders would \"essentially have no effect\". A study from Imperial College later found that a third of Covid transmission had come from Spain and 29% from France (neither of which faced restrictions), with hardly any coming from China. Mr Cummings said that after April 2020, there was \"no proper border policy\" because he claimed the prime minister didn't want one. The UK has only significantly toughened its border policy relatively recently - introducing quarantine hotels for people arriving in the UK from high-risk countries in February 2021. \"[Taiwan] immediately closed the borders, they introduced very strict quarantine systems, they did a whole bunch of things right off the bat in January\" Dominic Cummings repeatedly held Taiwan up as acting decisively early on in the pandemic. Taiwan closed its borders to all visitors from China on 23 January 2020 - as soon as China said there was evidence of human-to-human transmission of Covid-19. It also imposed mandatory quarantine for all Taiwanese citizens returning home. These measures are still in place. Most of the island's 23 million people were also wearing face masks, even before they were required to do so. However, this month, Taiwan has seen a sudden rise in cases.

A few hours later he was comparing Iran to North Korea and excoriating it for \"alarming and ongoing provocations\" that undermine US interests in countries such as Yemen, Iraq, Syria and Lebanon. The decision to adopt a more aggressive approach towards Iran and a stronger tilt towards Saudi Arabia has been taking shape since Tehran was first put \"on notice\" in February by then National Security Adviser Michael Flynn. The Saudis have been effusive about this \"turning point,\" welcoming the reset in a relationship strained by Barack Obama's pursuit of a nuclear deal with their Shia rival, and his criticism of their messy involvement in Yemen's civil war. The secretary of defence and Iran hawk James Mattis fleshed it out further during a trip to Riyadh, also on Wednesday, as it happens. He stressed the importance of \"reinforcing Saudi Arabia's resistance to Iran's mischief,\" seeing, like his Saudi hosts, a malign Iranian hand \"everywhere…there is trouble in the region.\" What does this mean? First, that the future of the deal restricting Iran's nuclear programme is in doubt. Although, as I wrote earlier this week it is more likely to fail by way of the administration piling pressure on Tehran than formally withdrawing from the agreement. Secondly, the possibility of greater US involvement in Yemen's civil war, which the UN says has killed 10,000 civilians and brought 17 million to the verge of starvation. Currently the US provides indirect assistance to a coalition made up principally of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, who are fighting Iran-backed Houthi rebels. And that was significantly scaled back by the Obama administration because of the number of civilians killed by indiscriminate Saudi air strikes. 100 days of Trump - the full story Seven ways the world has changed under Trump The Trump White House is looking to resume missile sales frozen by Obama. And it's considering intelligence and planning support for an Emirati-led offensive to retake the Houthi-held port of Hodeida, a vital avenue for humanitarian aid, but also for rebel supplies. A US official travelling with General Mattis told the Voice of America that the Trump administration doesn't believe the Houthis will return to the negotiating table without more military pressure. This is also the Saudi position. In fact, Trump's team has adopted the Saudi and Emirati narrative about the conflict to a much greater degree than the Obama administration, which is that Iran has been actively supporting and directing the Houthi uprising as a means of gaining leverage over the Sunni Arab states in the region. For nearly 60 years the US has sought to keep any one power, other than itself, from becoming dominant in the strategically important oil rich Gulf. And since the Iranian revolution in 1979 it has forged a de-facto military alliance with the Sunni monarchies to deter Tehran. Obama tinkered with that balance, hoping the nuclear deal would empower moderates in Iran who could normalise relations with their regional rivals. The Trump administration has not only rejected that as a failed approach, it has signalled its willingness to confront, rather than contain, the Islamic Republic.

The estate has been in the same family for about 100 years. James Baker, of Strutt and Parker Exeter, said the buyers were \"in for the long term\". He said: \"It's a wonderful part of the world and they want to preserve it.\" There have been concerns that tenants in the cottages would be removed, but Mr Baker said: \"That's not going to happen.\" \"They are a really nice family and everyone will be happy,\" he said. \"We received a lot of offers and it was a very difficult decision to make but we feel we have made the right decision. \"The vendors are quite excited to choose what they believe is the right buyer for the estate.\" The sale could be finalised in the next four to six weeks. \"We were not expecting it to happen so quickly,\" said Mr Baker, who has been handling the sale since the estate was put on the market in May. 'Ends uncertainty' Marine biologist Maya Plass, a tenant of the one of the cottages, said: \"There is a general air of joy and really huge relief in the village. \"It's a beautiful area which has been made accessible to everyone and there is no reason why the new owners can't do it again. \"It should be fantastic. If it had gone to a big company the place would have lost its heart and soul.\" Estate manager Ryan Hooper said: \"It's a massive leap for us because it ends the uncertainty and everyone will be relieved that something is finally being done. \"The fact that the estate is going to be kept together is fantastic news.\" The National Trust launched a £2.6m appeal in June to buy the beach, estuary and surrounding woodland, but not the cottages or farmland. Supporters of the National Trust bid included local MP Dr Sarah Wollaston, who tweeted her disappointment.

It was founded in 1933 in an effort to eliminate exploitation of Hollywood actors who were being forced into multi-year contracts with major film studios - many of which were known for dictating the public and private lives of performers. The SAG Awards have been held since 1995 and is often seen as an indicator of success at the Academy Awards, so if these nominations are anything to go by, maybe the Brits will have a bit of luck on their side come Oscars season.

Health Minister Vaughan Gething said this recognised \"a number of areas of concern\" over governance. An investigation was launched in October into \"adverse outcomes\" for 43 babies born over two years, and is expected to report back in the spring. The health board covers 300,000 people living in the south Wales valleys, with maternity services at Prince Charles Hospital in Merthyr Tydfil and the Royal Glamorgan Hospital in Llantrisant. The joint review by the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists and Royal College of Midwifery includes looking at 20 stillbirths and six cases of babies, who died shortly after birth. The health board has already said it had been \"very challenged\" to keep staff numbers at the right levels. Now the decision to escalate monitoring at the health board from routine, follows a regular meeting between Welsh Government, the Wales Audit Office (WAO) and Healthcare Inspectorate Wales (HIW). As well as the issues with maternity services, other concerns include: Mr Gething said the increased escalation was intended to focus the health board to \"get back on track\". \"I will be expecting immediate action to be taken on the areas of concern and for improvements to be evident within the next few months,\" he said. \"The organisation has every opportunity to respond appropriately and to return to normal monitoring arrangements quickly, given its approved plan status and a record of delivery on a range of measures and developments.\" Meanwhile, Plaid Cymru has called on the Welsh Government to halt plans for Cwm Taf to take over responsibilities for Bridgend health services from Abertawe Bro Morgannwg (ABMU) in April until issues have been resolved. Conservative AM Andrew RT Davies added: \"Sadly, this is yet another troubling situation at a Welsh health board following on from a long list of problems elsewhere in the NHS right across Wales\". \"This is also particularly worrying given the emphatic confidence the new first minister only showed on Monday in the ability of Welsh health boards to deliver for patients. This was clearly misplaced.\" Allison Williams, Cwm Taf chief executive, said it had already made significant progress and would continue to work closely on ensuring services were of the highest quality. \"We are disappointed that recent challenges have resulted in the need for improvements in the areas identified,\" she said. \"We are determined to deliver the required improvements and fully accept that enhanced monitoring is required for a short amount of time to provide assurance on the actions being taken.\" Cwm Taf has been at the lowest level of escalation since the performance scale was introduced in 2014.

Other business bodies warned of further possible shortages in Northern Ireland supermarkets, and more costs for manufacturers. The Cabinet Office said it was working closely with businesses to resolve issues. Food and Drink Federation chief executive Ian Wright told MPs that there will be short and long-term costs to \"re-engineering\" supply chains. There will be extra food supply chain costs due to more paperwork, Mr Wright told the Future Relationship with the European Union Committee on Wednesday. \"Unless the deal changes in some material way, we're going to see the re-engineering of almost all the EU-UK and GB-NI supply chains over the next six to nine months,\" Mr Wright said. \"In the short term there will be costs and time wasted for supply to reach the shelves, and in the long term will be costs and changes, and fairly significant changes, to the way in which manufacturers in the UK and in the EU interact when they are producing product,\" he said. Whether those costs would be passed onto consumers was a decision for retailers, an FDF spokesperson said. \"Food and drink manufacturers typically operate on tight margins and given the challenges many face because of the closure of the hospitality sector, it will not be possible to simply absorb the added costs that will result from border disruption and new non-tariff barriers,\" the spokesperson said. Mr Wright criticised the bureaucracy that his members are now facing when trying to export from the UK to the EU. He used the example of one company that used to complete the necessary paperwork within 3 hours, but it was now taking them 5 days. He said the government had struck a deal with the European Union too late for food and beverage companies to get ready for the new regulations which came into force at the end of 2020. Ports problems British ports have been contending with a number of pressures over the past months, including from new Brexit systems and the coronavirus crisis. The pressure on ports for companies doing trade with the European Union will get worse before it gets better, Mr Wright added. There are currently around 2,000 lorries per day crossing between Dover and Calais, when there are normally 10,000. He added that traffic between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland is also very light, so the systems in place haven't really been fully tested yet. 'Supermarket disruption' The British Retail Consortium warned of further possible shortages of some products in Northern Ireland supermarkets. Andrew Opie, director of food and sustainability at the British Retail Consortium said significant disruption for supermarkets moving products from Great Britain into Northern Ireland could be expected from April onwards unless the government deals with the fact that the grace period on Export Health Certificates will come to an end. There is currently a three-month grace period from the EU which exempts full certification for all products of animal origin. \"Northern Ireland is a particular problem, there is no doubt about that, and a particular problem for UK supermarkets,\" Mr Opie said. \"If we don't find a workable solution for retailers in the next couple of months we do face significant disruption in Northern Ireland.\" Mr Opie added that the system for trade between the UK and the EU is not set up for just-in-time supermarket supply chains. Manufacturer costs warning There are also a large number of small manufacturing businesses who deal directly with the EU that face extra costs, according to Stephen Phipson, chief executive of Make UK. \"We have... around 50,000 manufacturers, which only trade with the EU,\" he said. \"Their businesses are set up to be part of the just-in-time supply chains backwards and forwards across the Channel.\" He said for them, trade before the end of the Brexit transition period was internal. \"There was never any paperwork, there was never any requirement to do things like rules of origin calculations, so there was no record-keeping in that respect.\" Mr Phipson gave the example of one small business in Huddersfield making LED lenses for cars in the Italian automotive industry. \"For them it's about just in time delivery, so any kind of customs paperwork, rules of origin calculations, for them is very difficult. They're operating on lower [profit] margins, so they're operating typically on a 4% margin, so as soon as you start adding this bureaucracy into it, it adds up.\" 'Goods flowing' The Cabinet Office said the Brexit deal was \"the first free trade agreement the EU has ever reached based on zero tariffs and zero quotas and it is fantastic news for families and businesses in every part of the UK\". A spokesperson continued: \"We have always said there would be new rules and processes for businesses to follow after the end of the transition period and are working closely with them to resolve any outstanding issues.\" On Northern Ireland trade, the Cabinet Office said a new team had been set up \"and will be working with supermarkets, the food industry and the Northern Ireland Executive to develop ways to streamline the movement of goods.\" \"The grace period for supermarkets and their suppliers is working well, goods continue to flow effectively between Great Britain and Northern Ireland and we are working intensively with industry as new requirements come in,\" the spokesperson said. Last week the Cabinet Office said that businesses needed to be fully compliant with the new trade rules to avoid disruption.",

Dr Neil McDougall, a liver specialist, has said things have changed significantly in the last five years. \"Two or three patients in their early 20s have died from end stage alcoholic liver disease,\" he said. \"The sad thing is that those people were telling us before they died that they started drinking around the age of 12.\" Recent statistics show the number of people dying from alcohol-related illnesses has doubled in the last ten years. They also show the biggest growth area in terms of alcohol consumption and binge drinking is in women aged between 15 and 24. Dr McDougall says: \"It's devastating to watch young people in their 20s die from alcohol liver disease. \"Even people who have cirrhosis and a very damaged liver can stabilise quite dramatically with stopping alcohol,\" he said. \"As a protection mechanism you tend to focus more on the good stories but we do see a lot more who do badly than do good.\" The focus on women and their drinking habits is all about prevention rather than cure. Alcohol-related cases at the Royal Victoria Hospital used to be exclusively male. Dr McDougall fears that, unless drinking levels decrease, more and more women will become his patients. \"Seven or eight years down the line maybe we will see more women coming through with end stage alcohol liver disease.\" It is hard for teenagers to imagine what life will be like next year never mind when they are in their 20s. Dr McDougall says the message though is clear: \"Unfortunately once you have liver cirrhosis there's no going back from that.\"",

            "input": "By Jonathan AmosScience correspondent The \"Pale Blue Dot\" picture of Planet Earth was acquired by the Voyager 1 probe exactly 30 years ago on Friday - from a distance of about 6 billion km (4 billion miles) miles. To mark the anniversary, the US space agency has now reprocessed this iconic view using modern techniques and software. Nasa says the re-working has been respectful of the original. It still shows Earth as that single, bright blue pixel in the vastness of space. And that pixel is still caught within a ray of sunlight. But the image now looks \"cleaner\"; the Earth is easier to pick out. The Pale Blue Dot was part of a final sequence of frames taken by Voyager before its camera system was shut down to conserve power. It had completed its tour of the planets and had no further use for the equipment as it headed towards interstellar space. But Carl Sagan and Carolyn Porco, two imaging scientists on the mission, had argued for a \"family portrait of the Solar System\" to be taken before the power-down command was sent. The 60 frames that Voyager returned incorporated the Sun and six of the major planets - Venus, Earth, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. Mercury and Mars (and Pluto) missed out for variety of reasons. The Red Planet, for example, couldn't be distinguished in the streams of sunlight bouncing around inside the camera optics. One of the reasons the photo has become so famous is because of the popularity of Sagan's writings. In his his 1994 book, Pale Blue Dot: A Vision of the Human Future in Space, he said: \"Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us.\" And he went on to describe Earth as \"a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam\". It summed up perfectly the profound \"perspective\" gained from the exploration of space. Carolyn Porco, recalling the picture for the BBC in 2013, said that it gave a \"crystalline, uncorrupted view of our cosmic place that erodes all delusion and confronts us with a powerful recognition of ourselves - a recognition that never fails to move us\". Garry Hunt, the only Briton on the Voyager imaging team, says the picture is more relevant today than it's ever been. He started his career in the Earth sciences, including climate studies, and continues to display the image in lectures. \"Every time I give a climate talk and I talk about what you're doing now to make a change - I show this picture because it shows the Earth is an isolated speck. This tiny blue dot is the only place we can possible live, and we're making a jolly good mess of it,\" he told BBC Radio 4's Today programme this week. Carolyn Porco reimagined the Pale Blue Dot with the Cassini probe in 2013, turning that spacecraft's camera system back towards Earth and capturing the blue pixel under the rings of Saturn. Getting a view of home is now seen as something of a must-do for all far-flung missions. The New Horizons spacecraft which made a close flyby of Pluto in 2015 and is now a little over 7 billion km from Earth is expected at some point to try to repeat Voyager's photographic feat. Looking back at the centre of the Solar System - and directly at the Sun - poses some risk to the sensitive detectors in the probe's long-range camera, however. So, no imaging effort will occur until New Horizon's main mission objectives are achieved. Jonathan.Amos-INTERNET@bbc.co.uk and follow me on Twitter @BBCAmos",

            "input": "Mr Macron said that schools would move to remote learning from next week. Lockdown measures, introduced in some areas of France earlier this month, are also being extended to other districts. All non-essential shops are to close from Saturday and there will be a ban on travelling more than 10km (six miles) from home without good reason. The country is facing a peak of over 5,000 people in intensive care. On Wednesday, the country's health ministry reported 59,038 new cases. France has so far reported more than 4.6 million cases of coronavirus and 95,495 Covid-related deaths. What measures has Macron announced? In his live televised address on Wednesday, Mr Macron described the situation in the country as \"delicate\" and said that April would prove crucial. \"We will lose control if we do not move now,\" he said. The 43-year-old president said it was a race between vaccinations on the one hand and attempting to control the spread of the virus on the other. He said that while schools would be closing from next week, classes would remain open for the children of key workers. Primary schools and kindergartens will shut for three weeks and high schools for a week longer, although that includes two weeks of spring holiday from 12-26 April. Mr Macron said that measures introduced in 19 districts earlier this month - including the closure of non-essential businesses, exercise restricted to within 10km of an individual's home and a ban on travel to other parts of the country without a valid reason - would be extended nationwide. \"Everyone should limit their contacts with other people,\" he said, adding that people would be given the Easter weekend to get themselves to where they want to spend the lockdown. France's nationwide 19:00 curfew will remain in place and people are again being asked to work from home. The president said \"the end of the tunnel\" was in sight if people respected the new measures. Parliament will debate the measures announced by Mr Macron before voting on them on Thursday, according to the prime minister's office. More than at previous turning-points, the politics of Covid in France is becoming interesting. For one thing, President Macron has opened up a much clearer target now for the opposition - they can argue that his decision back in January to overrule the scientists and not launch a third lockdown was a blunder. He was warned then that the so-called British variant would sweep all before it by the end of March - and lo and behold that is what has happened. And now he is eating his hat. For his enemies, it is the result of Macron's hubris - the insufferable self-belief that makes him think he knows better than the doctors. The other reason it's getting sensitive is the UK. Everyone in France can see how much better the vaccination programme is going there. If the UK starts resuming ordinary life while France is still struggling, tough questions will be asked of the president. And elections are only a year away. How serious is the situation in France? With serious cases of coronavirus increasing in France, the pressure on hospitals in the greater Paris region has resulted in a surge in demand for beds at intensive care units (ICUs). Hospitals in and around Paris have also been reducing non-Covid treatments. The French hospital federation (FHF) last week warned that wards across the country were facing an \"unprecedented violent shock\" in the coming weeks if authorities were unable to curb the rise in cases. It urged the government to issue a \"strict lockdown\" or risk hospitals becoming overwhelmed. In an interview with France Inter radio on Tuesday, head of infectious diseases at the Tenon hospital in Paris, Gilles Pialoux, said that lockdown restrictions should have been implemented sooner. \"We've lost so much time that the measures now will be harder and last for longer,\" he said, adding that hospital staff were \"tired of being tired\". Public support for a new national lockdown has reportedly been increasing in recent days, with an Elabe Institute poll published on Wednesday suggesting that 54% of citizens questioned backed the move. Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo on Wednesday backed the closure of schools, saying the move - which had been seen by the government as a last resort - was necessary because of the \"very serious situation\". A group of French school teachers had earlier filed a legal complaint against Education Minister Jean-Michel Blanquer for \"endangering the lives of others\", accusing him of failing to protect staff in regular contact with children in classrooms. What about elsewhere in Europe? In Germany, the leaders of Bavaria and Baden-Wuerttemberg, the country's worst hit states, have called for tougher restrictions, saying the situation was worse than initially thought. The city of Hamburg is to introduce a night curfew on Friday. Spain is to revisit a new law implemented on Wednesday that requires face masks to be worn in outdoor spaces - including beaches and swimming pools - amid mounting criticism over the move. Authorities in Portugal say they aim to vaccinate all members of priority groups with at least one Covid-19 jab by 11 April. The head of the national coronavirus taskforce told parliament that the focus would be on care home residents, people aged 80 and over and those aged 50 and over with underlying conditions. A court in the Czech Republic has struck down the requirement for Czech citizens returning from blacklisted countries to test negative before leaving, arguing that tests can be carried out on arrival. Poland on Wednesday registered its highest daily Covid death toll this year, with 653 fatalities. The country has recorded a total of 53,045 coronavirus-related deaths since the start of the pandemic. Meanwhile, experts investigating possible links between the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine and blood clots have so far found no specific risk factors, such as age, gender or medical history, European Union regulators have said. The European Medicines Agency (EMA), however, said that analysis was continuing.",

Three other officers have also been suspended and two have been placed on restricted duties. A spokesman for ACC Higgins said he \"denies and rejects\" any allegations of wrongdoing.

In a statement, Deputy Chief Constable Iain Livingstone confirmed the suspension of ACC Higgins, who was responsible for operational support, custody and criminal justice. He said: \"I can confirm that Assistant Chief Constable Bernard Higgins was suspended today by the Scottish Police Authority. \"In addition, three other officers have been suspended, and two others placed on restricted duties, by Deputy Chief Constable Rose Fitzpatrick. \"This is in connection with an investigation by the Police Investigations and Review Commissioner (Pirc). \"At this time our focus must remain on continuing to meet the operational challenges that we face each day.\" Anonymous allegations He added that Assistant Chief Constable Nelson Telfer would take responsibility for the operational support portfolio. However a spokesman for ACC Higgins said he denied wrongdoing. \"He will fully cooperate with the investigation. He intends to resume his duties as soon as this matter has been resolved,\" he added. BBC Scotland understands the allegations are connected to a wider criminal investigation. They are not connected to the separate Pirc investigations into allegations of misconduct against Chief Constable Phil Gormley who is currently on \"special leave.\" Nor are they connected to inquiries into allegations that officers in the former counter-corruption unit abused their position when attempting to find the source of a journalist's information. Who is Bernard Higgins? ACC Higgins joined Strathclyde Police in 1988 and served in uniform posts across Glasgow and Lanarkshire. He became a superintendent in 2006 and was then promoted to detective chief superintendent and head of the public protection unit in 2010. Later in 2010, he was made divisional commander in charge of Glasgow Central and West Division. He was appointed Strathclyde Police Temporary Assistant Chief Constable (Territorial Policing) in March 2012. In January 2013, he became assistant chief constable of Police Scotland with responsibility for operational support before assuming responsibility for the wider justice and support portfolio. In his current role, which he was appointed to in September last year, he has responsibility for the operational support, custody and criminal justice divisions. The decision to suspend Mr Higgins was taken by the SPA board after it was alerted to the criminal and misconduct allegations by the Pirc. In a statement, the SPA said the suspension would be reviewed in four weeks or if there is a change in circumstances. The Pirc said it initially referred the anonymous allegations to the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service, as it is responsible for the prosecution of crime. Misconduct investigation The Crown Office decided an independent investigation should be carried out by the Pirc and that is now under way. As the complaint also included allegations of misconduct by a senior police officer, the commissioner referred the matters to the SPA on 18 October. The SPA suspended Mr Higgins on Friday and referred allegations of gross misconduct to the Pirc The commissioner is now carrying out an assessment to establish whether a misconduct investigation is required. 'Get a grip' A spokesman for the commissioner said: \"Following receipt of anonymous allegations of criminality by officers, including a senior officer, serving with Police Scotland, the Commissioner referred the allegations to the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service (COPFS). \"This was to allow the COPFS to consider whether the criminal allegations should be investigated by the Commissioner. \"The COPFS decided that an independent investigation should be carried out by the PIRC and this is now under way.\" The Scottish government has issued a statement saying that as the matter was under investigation by the Police Investigations and Review Commissioner it was unable to comment further. However, Liam Kerr, the justice spokesman for the Conservative Party, called for Scotland's justice secretary to come \"out of the shadows\" on the difficulties faced by Police Scotland. He told BBC Radio Scotland: \"The conspicuous absences of the justice secretary - my view would be that he's got to step out of the shadows and get a grip on this because it keeps happening on his watch.\"",

            "input": "By Daniel ThomasBusiness reporter, BBC News Apetito and Bidfood, who between them supply thousands of care providers, said they were holding extra inventory in case of supply chain problems. Both said they were prepared but Apetito said it feared others were not. \"We are in a strong position,\" said Apetito UK boss Paul Freeston. \"But some firms would not be able to build up big stocks,\" like his firm, he said. \"Or if they are doing fresh produce they would have to stop. A Hard Brexit could cause them significant economic difficulties.\" Apetito provides pre-made meals to more than 400 hospitals and 450 care homes, as well as 100,000 vulnerable people in their homes. Mr Freeston said it was spending £5m in building its inventory ahead of Brexit - doubling the raw materials it holds from four to eight weeks' of stock and pre-made meals from five to six weeks'. But if the disruption lasted much longer than 12 to 16 weeks, the firm would have \"very real difficulties\", because it supplies specialist food for elderly people and those with critical conditions. But if there are backlogs at UK ports in the event of a no-deal, \"the quality of food could suffer and our product range would really narrow\", Mr Freeston said. The other worry is that if the UK suddenly started trading on World Trade Organisation terms with the EU, the cost of raw materials could jump - and Britain imports about a third of its food from the bloc. The concerns are shared by Bidfood, which supplies the kitchens of 4,000 care homes and 950 hospitals across the UK, as well as schools and prisons. Jim Gouldie, its supply chain and technical services director, said the firm had \"looked carefully\" at products needed by sectors with a \"duty of care\" and invested in additional warehousing. Meanwhile Anglia Crown, which manufactures meals for 100 hospital sites, told the BBC it was worried about prices rising after Brexit. A spokeswoman said the company was agreeing prices for \"as many commodities as possible, especially any bought in from Europe\". Are providers secure? Despite the warnings, the National Care Association said most of the care homes it represents are prepared for any no-deal disruption and have enough food stocks in place - even if that means relying on dried or canned food to carry them through. But boss Nadra Ahmed is worried that any price shocks to suppliers could end up being passed on to providers. \"Care providers are struggling with funding and recruitment issues already so any increases will increase the challenges they face.\" The Hospital Caterers Association (HCA), which represents hospital catering companies, says most of his members have been preparing for Brexit for some time. And while he is not overly worried about a no deal, he does expect some short term volatility after Brexit. \"A number are making arrangements to increase their stock holding - either on site or by securing commitments from their long-established suppliers,\" he says. \"But this clearly is not possible for perishable goods. It is imperative that we ensure continuity of supply to minimise any potential disruption to patients' menus.\" A government spokesperson said: \"Our priority is to make sure that patients continue to receive the same high standard of care. \"We are working closely with the NHS, Defra and healthcare providers to ensure the uninterrupted supply of food and specialised nutritional products to patients, as part of our preparations for a no-deal EU Exit.\"",

            "input": "By Chris MorrisReality Check correspondent, BBC News But the other 27 EU countries (known as the EU27) may still impose tough conditions on any extension to the Article 50 negotiating period, to ensure that they protect their own interests. So what do they have in mind? The EU's main initial demand is that the UK fulfils its commitment to hold European Parliament elections on 23 May, if Brexit hasn't happened by then. Draft conclusions for today's summit in Brussels say that if the UK were to fail to hold the elections, it would automatically leave the EU - without a deal if necessary - on 1 June. But even if those elections take place, and UK MEPs attend the first session of the new parliament in July, there is still concern in some quarters that a disgruntled British government could prevent the EU making progress on a series of important issues. Different member states have different opinions on how serious a threat this is. But it is certainly an important part of the discussion. Theresa May has already pledged that the UK will remain a \"constructive and responsible\" member state, and abide by its \"duty of sincere co-operation\" with the rest of the EU. This is a form of words that carries weight in Brussels, but it doesn't bind any future UK government to act in the same way. What else is on the EU's mind? The EU has a series of big decisions to make in the coming months. It doesn't want Brexit to get in the way. To begin with, there is a changing of the guard at the top of the EU's political structures. A new president of the European Commission has to be nominated by EU leaders, and approved by the European Parliament, in time to take over on 1 November from Jean-Claude Juncker, who is standing down. A month later, on 1 December, a new European Council president will take office, succeeding Donald Tusk. Both of these appointment, though, involve qualified majority voting - in other words they don't have to be approved unanimously by all member states. That would limit the ability of an unhappy UK government to block critical EU business. \"We've looked very carefully,\" a senior EU official says, \"and in reality there aren't many things you can veto over the coming year.\" But there are other important issues looming for the EU notably on the size and shape of the next seven year budget for 2021-27. Negotiations on the budget will start to intensify under the new Commission, although final decisions won't be made for at least a year. The budget does need unanimous approval. That is one of the reasons why any Brexit extension will almost certainly, as Mr Tusk has suggested, be \"no longer than a year\". Brexit has been taking up far too much time already. It has diverted the EU from a focus on other subjects, and the leaders of the EU27 would rather concentrate on their own future than on the internal debates of a country that is trying to leave. So the leaders will have to decide how many conditions they impose on a Brexit extension, and they will want to hear Mrs May repeat her written pledge of co-operation in person. Throughout the Brexit process, the unity of the EU27 has been a consistent factor. But there is now a difficult balance to strike. Does there need to be a formal review process during an extension, or is a European Council decision to \"remain seized of the matter\" (EU jargon for paying close attention to it) enough? \"I think the extension should be as short as possible,\" German Chancellor Angela Merkel told the German parliament. \"But it should be long enough to create calm, so we don't have to meet every two weeks to talk about the same subject,\" she added.

Source: RSPCA Natural Resources Wales had received a report by a member of the public of a raccoon dog seen near Pumsaint, which is around seven miles south east of Lampeter, on 27 May. They said this was the second report of a raccoon dog in the wild in Wales, after a confirmed report of two raccoon dogs having escaped near Esgairdawe, Carmarthenshire in August 2019 - neither of which were captured. The species has previously been reported elsewhere in Britain. The Welsh Government said last week the minister had \"agreed for officials to formally request assistance from NRW to capture the raccoon dog and apply rapid eradication measures in line with the EU Regulation on the prevention and management of the introduction and spread of invasive alien species\". In February 2019 the European Union added raccoon dogs to a List of Invasive Alien Species of Union Concern, which seeks to control populations deemed to be harmful to native wildlife. Existing owners can keep the animals, but further breeding or sale is banned. It is also an offence under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (as amended) to release these animals - or allow them to escape - into the wild because they are not a native species to the UK. Originally from the Far East, raccoon dogs were introduced into eastern Europe as part of the fur trade.

            "input": "By Julian LorkinSydney Facing a dwindling number of investment opportunities in their own country, Chinese buyers are snapping up new Australian apartments and homes at a record rate, says real estate experts. They have their eye on homes with a quality finish and a splash of grandeur. The interest is so strong - with predictions of billions of dollars more to come thanks to changes in Chinese offshore investment rules - that Australian real estate agents are setting up offices in Beijing and Shanghai to take advantage of the demand. Chief Executive of property website Juwai, Simon Henry, describes it as an \"incoming wall of Chinese investment\" that Australia isn't ready for. Mr Henry expects it to continue for some time, in part because Beijing has relaxed currency rules making it easier for wealthy Chinese to invest in overseas property. \"Keen, moneyed-up investors want high quality properties in Sydney, which will generate both a good return and gain in value,\" Mr Henry told the BBC. Nest eggs \"The current level of Chinese investment in Australia may seem quaintly small in a few years,\" he says. Primarily, Chinese investors are looking at property as a nest egg because of the lack of similar investments in China, he says. \"Plus, their children are highly educated. Parents buy to ensure their kids have somewhere to stay when studying for an Australian degree.\" Hans Hendrischke, Professor of Chinese Business at the University of Sydney, agrees. \"There are now 150,000 Chinese students in Australia, with parents often purchasing apartments for their children,\" says Prof Hendrischke. \"A decade ago, this large Chinese community didn't exist. Parents who have bought a unit for their offspring follow it up with a house for themselves to retire to,\" he adds. Chinese investors are keen on: • Modern properties, preferably brand new • Apartments close to cities, universities and public transport • Houses open to the street, with good views • A little bit of glamour and \"bling\" The kinds of properties being bought are often dictated by the children's taste, says Dan White, director of Australian property agent Ray White, which has opened branches in Beijing and Hong Kong. \"Kitchens have to be right up-to-date with marble bench tops and all the latest devices,\" says Mr White. Chinese investors want \"bling\" and Australian developers are happy to deliver it, he says. Ten years ago, Chinese investment flowed into Hong Kong property, says Mr Henry. Opposition \"Now Australia and the US are top for Chinese investment properties. Australia's best asset is [being in] a similar time zone, within a few hours' flying time of China,\" he says. However, Chinese investment here is a sensitive issue for many Australians. The Australian government has repeatedly warned overseas owners not to breach foreign investment laws, amid claims Chinese money is artificially boosting housing prices, especially in Sydney. Property values in Sydney are rising 13% a year, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics. They are the best gains of any capital city in Australia, says property research firm RP Data. The government has imposed fees on non-residents buying property and anyone found breaking the rules - such as buying an existing house instead of investing in a new property - may be forced to sell. But experts don't think that will have much impact on the flow of money. Australians should welcome the investment because longer term, it will make homes more, not less, affordable by funding the construction of new apartments, claims Mr White. \"This is great for renters who have traditionally found it very tough, particularly in the tight Sydney market,\" he says. It is not just the luxury, inner city suburbs that are doing well. The supply of new homes is increasing in outer suburbs, too. For example, approvals have quadrupled in the past 12 months around Sydney's north-western suburbs of Castle Hill, Rouse Hill and Kellyville, where property advertisements often appear in English and Mandarin, according to property consultants MacroPlan Dimasi. Asian brokerage and investment group CLSA forecasts a surge in Chinese immigration to Australia over the next few years, which property analysts say will translate into another surge in foreign investment in Australian residential property. Australian prices may seem high but a city like Sydney is still relatively cheap compared with other worldwide cities, says Mr Henry. \"What we are seeing now may just be an early start before Chinese investors arrive in force,\" he says. \"Their children like Australian universities and our beaches. With our climate, and our lifestyle no wonder their parents are following.\" Julian Lorkin is a Sydney business writer.",

The purchasing managers' index (PMI) produced by IHS Markit/CIPS fell to 47.4 in August, down from 48 in July. A figure below 50 indicates the sector is contracting. New orders fell at the fastest pace for seven years, and business confidence fell to its lowest level since the survey first began to track the measure in 2012. \"High levels of economic and political uncertainty alongside ongoing global trade tensions stifled the performance of UK manufacturers in August,\" said Rob Dobson, director at IHS Markit. \"The global economic slowdown was the main factor weighing on new work received from Europe, the USA and Asia. \"There was also a further impact from some EU-based clients routing supply chains away from the UK due to Brexit.\" The UK economy contracted by 0.2% in the second quarter of the year - the first time it has shrunk since 2012. If the economy contracts in the current July-to-September period, then it will deemed to be in recession as it will have shrunk for two quarters in a row. Mr Dobson said the PMI survey's results suggested the manufacturing sector - which accounts for about 20% of the UK's economy - was contracting at a quarterly pace of \"close to 2%\". However, Howard Archer, chief economic adviser to the EY Item Club, said that could be too pessimistic. \"With the CIPS surveys tending to be overly sensitive to political uncertainty and carmakers maintaining production in August (having brought their annual summer shutdowns forward this year), the sector's performance is unlikely to be that grim,\" he said. \"But with global and domestic headwinds showing no sign of easing, the remainder of 2019 is set to remain a difficult period for manufacturers.\" Andrew Wishart, UK economist at Capital Economics, said that while the latest PMI survey was weak, \"we still doubt that manufacturing will pull the economy as a whole into recession\".",

South Yorkshire Police said it had initially tried to set up road blocks but later decided it was safer to let them complete the run. Organisers said they had been \"let down\" by their water supplier. Insp Neil Mutch, of South Yorkshire Police, said: \"We attempted to convince runners not to carry on, but decided it was a lesser risk to let them run the race.\" Margaret Lilley, chair of the race organisers, said: \"We had a problem with the supply of water. \"The company we had asked to supply bowsers for the route did not arrive this morning. Runners stopped \"We have scoured supermarkets around the city, but unfortunately we have not been able to secure enough water for the medical-and-safety officers of the race to say it is safe to go ahead. We therefore took the very reluctant decision to cancel the race.\" Ms Lilley added: \"Runners had waited half an hour or more to start. When we made the announcement the runners decided that they wanted to race anyway, and all of them set off.\" Many runners stopped when they realised the race had been cancelled, but a large number decided to carry on.

In 2017, the \"top 10\" most prolific callers accounted for 3,284 calls to the Welsh Ambulance Service. Instead of sending an ambulance to each one, many frequent callers are put in touch with other services instead. These types of calls account for between 4% and 5% of the service's 999 call volume each month. The service received almost half a million calls in 2016-17. One former frequent caller said he now realises his actions were \"wrong\". James, from the Vale of Glamorgan, was responsible for 13 calls to the service in just over a month because he wanted help with stomach pain, often brought on after heavy drinking. \"I'd phone at least once a week, sometimes less and sometimes more, but only when I'd had a drink,\" he said. \"I was trying to get rid of the pain by drinking but it was only making things worse. Nine times out of 10 it was the alcohol, there's no good lying about it. With help I've faced it and I'm now over it. \"Now I think back on it I just imagine - what if a child was dying, and I was on the phone to the ambulance service and took that child's place?\" Frequent callers often dial 999 for inappropriate reasons - the worst case dialled the ambulance service almost 400 times last year. Before changes four years ago, the service would dispatch an ambulance to every caller, regardless of how many times they had phoned. Robin Petterson, the service's frequent caller lead, said the system has changed \"quite dramatically\" and frequent callers are now flagged up on their system. \"It was very clear there was an issue and we could see the amount of time it was taking our ambulance crews to resolve these calls,\" he said. \"So we decided to look further into why they were ringing 999 and whether or not people like GPs, the police, or anyone these people were known to, could become part of the solution.\" Mr Petterson said they were often referred to another non-emergency service to help deal with any underlying social or behavioural issue that might be behind the calls. After picking up on James's calls, the ambulance service made contact with his GP to see if they could meet him to discuss what was going on. After diagnosing the cause of his stomach pain as a hernia, his doctor's surgery was able to offer him treatment for the condition, along with counselling. James said it helped him \"turn his life around\".",

            "input": "Labour mayor Mr Burnham said the chancellor's pledge to pay two-thirds of workers' wages if restrictions force UK firms to close was \"insufficient\". The government is planning to bring in a three-tier local lockdown system. It could mean tougher rules in parts of northern England and the Midlands. Liverpool, where there are currently 600 cases per 100,000 people, is expected to be placed under the most severe set of restrictions, with all the city's pubs forced to close. On Saturday, 15,166 people in the UK were reported to have tested positive for coronavirus - an increase of 1,302 on Friday's figure - according to the government's dashboard. There were a further 81 deaths - a decrease of six on Friday. In a joint press conference with other mayors from northern England, Mr Burnham said negotiations about the lockdown in the North of England were ongoing but he was told by a \"senior figure in Number 10\" that the proposed financial help was \"non-negotiable\". \"I'm angry actually about being told the effect on people's lives is non-negotiable,\" he said. He added that the chancellor's plans would hit the lowest paid - those on minimum or living wages. \"These people can't choose to pay two-thirds of their rent or two-thirds of their bills,\" he said. \"To accept the chancellor's package would be to surrender our residents to hardship and our businesses to failure or collapse - and we are not prepared to do that,\" he added. Referring to the chancellor's previous furlough scheme, Steve Rotheram, the Labour mayor of Liverpool City Region, said: \"If 80% was right in March, it's right now. You can't do lockdown for the North on the cheap.\" He said if the new restrictions were as severe as during the national lockdown in March, a similar sort of package was needed. Mr Burnham said he wanted the minimum package to be 80% of workers' wages, in line with the initial national furlough scheme. Mr Burnham and Mr Rotheram, together with mayors from Sheffield and North of Tyne, have written to all MPs in northern England asking them to call for a separate vote in Parliament on the chancellor's latest package - and to reject it. Those who have long argued that mayors provide the best model for the leadership of a city often point to what they see as their principal advantage: a widely known figurehead locally, who can stand up for you nationally. Today, we have seen that in action. Party politics plays something of a role here: all four of the mayors making their case today represent the Labour Party, all four have sharpening critiques of the Conservative government at Westminster. But, at the same time, about 30 Tory MPs from northern England have got together. They are the intriguingly named Northern Research Group of Conservative MPs. If that name sounds a little bit familiar, maybe you're remembering the European Research Group of Conservative MPs, who proved to be a never ending political migraine for former Prime Minister Theresa May. They're promising they're not about \"giving government a bad time\". But they pointedly observe: \"We don't form a government unless we win the North.\" Ministers counter that financial support for the North of England and elsewhere is unprecedented and wide ranging. The big question now is what happens on Monday when the prime minister addresses the Commons: what do the restrictions look like, what support will be offered, and to whom? Mr Burnham said he would not rule out a legal challenge and did not accept hospitality workers were \"somehow second-class citizens\". \"This goes to the heart of everything we care about - the north of England is staring the most dangerous winter for years right in the face. The chancellor's announcement that the government would pay two-thirds of employees' wages for six months from next month if their firm is forced to shut by law because of coronavirus restrictions came on Friday afternoon. In response to the criticism from some mayors of the scheme, a government spokesman said: \"Ministers are continuing to work closely with local leaders on how we can combat coronavirus together. \"We will keep all financial support under review to support businesses who need it most and protect jobs over the coming weeks and months.\" Under the new restrictions, expected to be detailed by the prime minister in a statement to MPs on Monday, pubs and restaurants could be closed in areas where some of the highest numbers of cases are occurring and a ban on overnight stays is also being considered. A senior adviser to Boris Johnson has written to MPs representing constituencies in the North of England to confirm that some areas were \"very likely\" to be placed under \"further restrictions\". In the letter seen by the BBC, Sir Edward Lister said ministers would hold discussions with local authorities in the region during the weekend. It has been suggested that the most severe measures - imposed for areas in tier three - would be agreed with local leaders in advance. However, on Saturday, northern mayors said there had been conversations with Downing Street but little consultation. The details of each tier, including the level of infection at which an area would qualify for it and the nature of the restrictions, are being debated this weekend. It comes as the British Medical Association (BMA), a doctor's trade union, has called on the government to bring in clearer and stronger measures to stem the spread of Covid-19. It is recommending actions including modifying the current \"rule of six\" so only two households can meet and for the wearing of face masks to be made mandatory in all offices and workplaces.

            "input": "By Dominic CascianiBBC News home affairs correspondent There has already been clear evidence of some long sentences - but remember - of the 1,300 who have already appeared in court, only about one in 10 of them have been convicted and sentenced. Large numbers of the defendants are being sent to Crown Court because magistrates courts have limited sentencing powers. Many of those cases are not likely to be dealt with by judges until September and October because of the sheer workload. Judges have enormous discretion in how to deal with offenders. Maximum sentences are fixed by Parliament and there are discounts for early guilty pleas. But after that it is basically up to the judge. The Sentencing Council provides guidelines and the Court of Appeal develops important precedents - but judges can depart from guidelines with good reason. Burglary convictions Many of the looters have been convicted of burglary which carried a maximum sentence of 14 years. The Sentencing Council has been recently consulting the public on new guidelines. The consultation said that burglars should normally be jailed because of their impact on victims. Breaking into business premises tends to lead to shorter sentences than homes. The longest sentences are reserved for those who go equipped with weapons. Here are a few of the sentences to date: Manchester Crown Court has dealt with more cases than other courts so far - and its judges agreed their own guidelines last week to reflect the severity of the disturbances in Salford and Manchester. The Manchester guidelines are clearly tougher than what was envisaged by the Sentencing Council whose consultation did not cover burglary and looting in mass riots. The Manchester judges said anyone who takes part in breaking into a shop should expect four to seven years - and those who follow them inside will get between two and five. The Downey case was considerably different to the others: the serial offender had left prison on the morning of the riots. Theft and related offences Then there are those people who did not break in - but committed related offences, such as stealing, handling or receiving stolen goods. The maximum sentence for theft is seven years. The current guidelines say that the starting point for jail is when there is some element of planning or significant damage. Again, the guidelines don't cover the specifics of a mass looting - but they do allow judges discretion to take into account aggravating factors. Here are some of the recent cases: The three young women from Croydon, like Michael Fitzpatrick in the burglary table, had no previous convictions - but judges can also use sentences to send clear messages that criminality will not be tolerated. Judge Andrew Gilbart QC, Manchester's top judge, said the area suffered a \"sustained onslaught of burglary, robbery, theft, disorder and other offences\" and that it would be wrong for him to sentence individuals without taking the events into account. Beswick has taken his sentence to the Court of Appeal. The facebook factor A huge part of the story of the riots has been social media. Rioters in London were using Blackberrys to organise their hits, out of sight of the law. Other were less careful to hide their thoughts, as the following cases show: Following the 2001 Bradford riots, the Court of Appeal said that the sentencing starting point for taking part in disturbances should be three years. But there are no specific sentencing guidelines for using social media to encourage a riot. The Manchester men were jailed under the Serious Crime Act which says that encouraging an offence carries the same penalty as the crime itself. Both men pleaded guilty at the earlier opportunity, were shocked by the sentences and are expected to go to appeal. David Glyn Jones in Bangor, where there were no disturbances, was charged with sending a malicious message under the Communications Act, punishable by up to six months in jail. What we don't know at the moment is how judges in other cities will react when the bulk of the cases come before them in the coming weeks. The Manchester guidelines have been shared on the judiciary's intranet - which means judges around the country will be aware of them. But the only sentencing decisions that really matter, in terms of setting precedent, are those made by the Court of Appeal. And its judges are waiting for the cases to come in.

The Commission for the Enrichment of the French Language (Celf) has asked French speakers to use the phrase \"information fallacieuse\" instead of the term \"fake news\", which was popularised by Donald Trump. Or if that is too long-winded, CELF suggested the abbreviation \"infox\", formed from the words \"information\" and \"intoxication\". \"The Anglo-Saxon expression 'fake news', which refers to a range of behaviour contributing to the misinformation of the public, has rapidly prospered in French,\" the commission rued. \"This is an occasion to draw on the resources of the language to find French equivalents.\" France has long fought the dilution of its language by English intruders, which often sneak in as slang. Celf published its plea in the government gazette, and offered alternatives for those not keen on \"infox\". Its choices - \"nouvelle fausse\", \"fausse nouvelle\" and \"information fausse\" - all basically mean \"false news\". Celf, a group of academics and cultural figures formed in 1996, is not the only body campaigning to keep French... well, French. There's also the Academie Francaise, a 400-year-old institution which is the official authority on the French language - and gets the vapours at the mere sight of the word \"email\".

Well, given the reception ordinary French speakers usually give to such orders... the answer's probably \"non\". \"Le binge-drinking?\" - More phrases Celf wants swapped for French So far, the folks at Celf have produced more than 7,900 French alternatives for English sayings - including binge drinking (\"beuverie express\"), hashtag (\"mot-diese\") and big data (\"megadonnees\").

Its profits for the nine months to the end of September were £1.69bn. Chief executive Antonio Horta-Osorio said: \"We are well on our way to becoming a better, simpler, low-risk bank, which delivers the products our customers need and the strong performance and sustainable returns our shareholders expect.\" Dividends The charge for PPI had an impact on the third-quarter profit figure and helped to leave Lloyds with a loss of £440 million for the three months to the end of September. The group also put the loss down to a £330m charge against losses incurred selling its German life insurer Heidelberger Leben, to meet tougher regulatory requirements, in August. The government sold £3bn of its stake in the bank in September, and still retains more than a third of the company. It offered big investors 6% of Lloyds. US demand for the shares was reportedly high, with stronger than expected interest from institutional investors. Singapore government-owned Temasek also reportedly bought a large amount of the Lloyds shares, around 0.5% of the total.

The alleged attacks happened across London, Hertfordshire and the North West over a two-week period. Mr McCann's trial at London's Old Bailey heard the boy, who cannot be named because of his age, told police the defendant was drinking from a bottle of wine in a car before ordering them into the vehicle. \"This guy stopped us, he said, 'Which one of you was calling my sister names and making threats to her?',\" the boy said in a recorded interview. \"We said, 'We haven't, it was not us'.

The \"fake\" mother is said to have told police she wore a decoy latex belly bought online to trick her friends and family. Italian press reports said her partner was in prison for drug trafficking, and that she had recently suffered two miscarriages. The baby's biological mother, a 25-year-old Romanian woman, reportedly fell pregnant after a short relationship with a man from Mali. When she learned about the baby's race, the Italian woman is said to have realised she would not be able to explain the child's skin colour. After just three days, reports say, she gave the baby back. Suspicions were first raised in February at the registry office in the city of Latina, south of Rome, when a woman asked how to register a baby that had been born at home. When nobody returned to register the child, officials got in touch - but are said to have received evasive answers. Fearing something was amiss, they flagged the case up to police. Investigators found the baby girl in a healthy state with her biological father, who works in Rome. She is now just over a month old, and has been placed in foster care.",

Ashwani Gupta said that Nissan's commitment could not be maintained if there was not tariff-free EU access. Nissan has invested billions of pounds in the plant, which has 7,000 workers. His comments come despite the Sunderland site surviving this week's announcement on the Japanese giant's global restructuring programme. Mr Gupta said: \"You know we are the number one carmaker in the UK and we want to continue. We are committed. Having said that, if we are not getting the current tariffs, it's not our intention but the business will not be sustainable. That's what everybody has to understand.\" Crucial talks He also said that any plans for its strategic partner and 43%-shareholder Renault to take up spare capacity at Sunderland would be a matter for the French carmaker. The French government has a 15% stake in Renault. This is not the first time that Nissan has pleaded with UK and EU negotiators to ensure that the 70% of cars manufactured at Sunderland which are sold in the EU can avoid tariffs of 10% under World Trade Organisation rules - the legal default position if a deal is not struck. Those talks resumed this week, with the differences between the UK and EU being described on all sides as deep and wide. Last week, the EU's chief negotiator Michel Barnier said the EU would consider a two-year Brexit delay, which was rebuffed by his UK counterpart David Frost, who told MPs the government's policy remains not to extend the transition period beyond the end of the year. Under an agreement signed last year, the UK has until the end of this month to decide whether it wants to request such an extension so the coming weeks are crucial. The comments by Nissan may dampen hopes raised just last week when the company said that while it was closing plants in Spain and Indonesia, it remained committed to Sunderland. An announcement by Nissan that Renault might take the European lead in the companies' global manufacturing alliance (which also includes Mitsubishi) by taking up an estimated 20% spare capacity at Sunderland were quashed for the foreseeable future by Renault last week, when it said it had no current plans to move in to the UK. China growth Mr Gupta confirmed that any decision by its partners would be a matter for them, and that no such deal had been agreed. \"When it comes to the allocation of manufacturing, each company will take the decision based on the competitiveness of the plants.\" Nissan is a huge fan of the Sunderland plant and paid tribute to the efficiency and hard work of the operation. But it reiterated that was not enough to secure its long-term future if tariffs were imposed in a market which it described last week as \"non-core\". It only has a 3% market share of the vehicle market in Europe. On a more encouraging note, Mr Gupta said recent sales figures from China showed the world's biggest car market was recovering fast and the company was winning market share. But vehicles for that market are not produced in the UK. It is still possible that Renault could decide to move production of certain vehicles to Sunderland. But it is hard to see how a company which is 15%-owned by the French taxpayer could find a way to make that work where Nissan, which has been in Sunderland for 40 years, says it cannot. Nissan's comments are a timely reminder that for many key industries, the Brexit issue - which has not been silenced by coronavirus news - has in many ways been amplified by it.",

Mayor Joe Anderson has pledged to build 10,000 houses, but did not specify how many would be council homes. The city needs to develop 30,000 new homes by 2030, the council said. Councils have been able to borrow more to build homes since April after the government removed a cap on borrowing limits. Housing minister Kit Malthouse wrote to Mr Anderson, saying he was \"pleased to see the ambition and enthusiasm\" of the city \"in engaging with the urgent process of delivering the new homes\". Mr Anderson said: \"Liverpool pioneered public sector housing. I am extremely proud that, 150 years on from the city leading the way on social properties, we are now able to do so again.\" He said \"affordable, social, properties are desperately needed\" but \"buying is not for everyone\". \"We need to rebalance the city's housing market with a wider choice of the homes that people need,\" he added. A set of refurbished houses on Webster Road in Picton are the first to form part of the scheme, with a £76-a-week rent. A history of council housing Local authorities have been required by law to provide council housing since the 1919 Addison Act. It followed Prime Minister Lloyd George's Homes fit for Heroes campaign sparked by concerns over the poor physical condition of World War One Army recruits. But it was not until after World War Two that the age of the council house truly arrived. Clement Attlee's Labour government built more than a million homes, 80% of which were council houses, largely to replace those destroyed in the war. The boom continued when the Conservatives returned to power in 1951. Then \"right to buy\" began to take off and the number of council houses sold in England went from 7,000 in 1970 to nearly 46,000 in 1972. Even during the late eighties, local authorities were responsible for more than 40% of house builds - but by By 2017, it dropped to less than 2%, according to government statistics. Now that existing limits on councils' ability to borrow money have been lifted and the wiping of prior debts confirmed, council house building is expected to grow again.",

The team at Aberdeen's Rowett Institute of Nutrition and Health are hoping to recruit 120 volunteers who will be monitored over the course of a week. Researchers will record their heart rates, activity levels and snacking habits using heart sensors, GPS devices and an electronic diary. The scientists are hoping to identify a link between so-called \"executive functions\" in the brain and snacking. Dr David McMinn, from the institute, who is leading the study, said: \"We live in an environment where snack foods are readily available, and where desk jobs and labour-saving devices mean that we are less active than in previous generations. \"Because our environment makes it easy to consume high-calorie snack foods and spend long periods of time inactive, eating well and being active requires considerable self-regulation. \"It requires us to make an effort, such as deciding not to snack in order to maintain a healthy weight.\" 'Stressful situations' He added: \"We are particularly interested in the way food choices and physical activity behaviours are linked to psychological processes in the brain called the 'executive functions'. \"We use executive functions to achieve goals, for example, planning actions in advance, solving problems, ignoring distractions and resisting temptations. \"The executive functions can be depleted if used intensively, or due to particularly stressful situations. We are interested to know if reductions in executive functions are associated with behaviours such as snacking on unhealthy foods or sedentary behaviour.\" Researchers hope to recruit 120 people, over 18, who are not taking beta-blockers and who are able to attend the university's health sciences building on the Foresterhill campus to take part in psychological testing ahead of the seven-day monitoring period. \"Information from the different monitoring devices will be used to identify where periods of snacking, activity, sedentary behaviour, and stress occur,\" Dr McMinn said. \"The aim is to try to understand why people snack, because we all know that sticking to a healthy diet is easier said than done.\"",

He also said devices connected to the internet needed to be made more secure in the face of emerging cyber threats. And he warned that Russia was likely to try to interfere in the UK's democracy. Lord Evans stepped down as the director general of the security service MI5 in 2013 at a time when it seemed that the terrorism threat from al-Qaeda might be subsiding. But now, with the rise of the so-called Islamic State militant group, he said the threat was unlikely to end soon. Lord Evans said: \"There's no doubt that we are still facing a severe terrorist threat but I think its also important to put this in a slightly longer context because right the way back from the 1990s we have been experiencing difficulties from Islamist terrorists of one sort or another. \"Over that period the threat has come and gone but the underlying threat has continued. \"Since 2013 there have been 19 attempted attacks that have been disrupted and even since the attack at Westminster we are told there have been six disruptions, so this is a permanent state of preparedness.\" 'Sleepless nights' He added: \"We're at least 20 years into this. My guess is that we will still be dealing with the long tail in over 20 years' time. \"I think this is genuinely a generational problem.

The former MI5 head said it often was \"just sleepless nights\" and \"nail-biting\" but measures to protect staff were taken. Analysis By BBC home affairs correspondent Daniel Sandford The head of national counter-terrorism policing, Assistant Commissioner Mark Rowley, has said a \"whole-system effect\" was now needed in which the public, other public services and agencies, and businesses all need to work together to keep the UK safe. It is an acknowledgement that after the bloody months of March, May and June the system for tackling terrorism will have to change. There are already internal reviews of how the police and security services dealt with their previous knowledge of some of the perpetrators of this year's attacks. But this is more than that. It is a plea for help, on the day that Lord Evans, who stepped down as director general of MI5 in 2013, warned that the threat from terrorism will be with us for 20 or 30 more years. Lord Evans also warned that the \"internet of things\" - in which vehicles and domestic devices are all connected to the internet - will need to be made more secure to reduce emerging cyber threats. He said it was concerning that Russia had apparently been interfering in the democratic processes of some Western countries. Lord Evans said it was something the UK needed to be alert to, as he would be \"very surprised\" if it was not a target as well. Speaking on Radio 4's Today, the head of national counter-terrorism policing called the current Islamist threat a \"cultish movement\" compared to al-Qaeda and the IRA who were \"a very tight network of wicked individuals\". Assistant Commissioner Mark Rowley said: \"You've got that range of people who have picked up that ideology and come up with their own plan based on the encouragement of the propaganda all the way through to the more organised directed attacks. \"This widening cohort of people that we're concerned about and our ability to keep our radar on them is no longer just a job for police and security services.\" He added the change in tempo of the threat was \"quite dramatic\" considering in four years 13 terror plots were foiled compared to six in the last few months.",

Brighthouse said it was a \"responsible lender\". \"Our rent-to-buy model allows low-income families access to a range of products that they might not otherwise be able to afford,\" the company said in a statement. The OFT said that actions needed to force market changes were beyond its remit. Barnardo's said consumers were paying up to 150% more for some standard household appliances.

McDonald calls his research \"a further attempt to understand our universe in microscopic detail, but at the same time to understand things that influence how our universe evolved\". \"We are looking for these particles which were produced in the original Big Bang and are still in our galaxy.\" McDonald's research was done in Canada at the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory, a lab specialising in dark matter and neutrinos. The Ontario lab is 2km (1.2 miles) underground in order to shield it from cosmic rays. There are 500 researchers worldwide working on experiments at the lab, including one investigating a rare form of nuclear decay, which could help explain the development of matter in the early universe. His team also has \"a lot of common interests\" with Canadian particle physicists working at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (Cern). \"There's a real advantage for Canadians to be plugged in internationally,\" McDonald says. Beyond his own work, McDonald says Canada is excelling at different kinds of science, including physics, genomics and biology. \"The accomplishment of the Ebola vaccine here in Canada is a real international success,\" he says. Like Dr McDonald, McGill University's Vicky Kaspi spends her time probing the mysteries of the universe. Kaspi has won a number of awards for her work, and was the first woman to win the Herzberg Canada Gold Medal for science and engineering. The Texas-born astrophysicist, who has taught at MIT and Princeton, says being based in Canada has allowed her to have larger research team than the funding structure generally allows at US universities. Among her projects is a collaboration between several universities and observatories - the Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment (Chime), a ground-breaking radio telescope. Radio astronomy is one of the technologies developed and pioneered in Canada, Kaspi says. Using computer processing technology originally designed for gaming and mobile phones, Chime will begin making precise measurements of the acceleration of the universe between 10 billion and eight billion years ago - the time period when the expansion of the universe began to speed up. Kaspi says there's a \"spirit of camaraderie\" among researchers in the country. \"There's a little friendly competition sometimes but overall, with these big projects we're talking about, people work really well together and we recognise that there's strength in numbers.\" She says there's a number of Canadian physicists making their mark in the field, including René Doyon, studying exoplanets at the Université de Montréal, Mark Halpern at the University of British Columbia and a colleague on Chime, and Ray Carlberg at the University of Toronto, working on the international Thirty Meter Telescope. Art and design The three founders of the Toronto-based design firm Daniel Christian Tang have an eclectic background in disciplines ranging from biochemistry to architecture and engineering. The trio design 3D-printed fine jewellery using architectural modelling software, and among their inspirations is Canadian-born architect Frank Gehry, who once collaborated with Tiffany & Co to create an exclusive jewellery collection. \"[Gehry] been able to really merge all sorts of different disciplines,\" says Mario Christian Lavorato, who along with colleagues Heng Tang and Luca Daniel Lavorato, is behind the label. Christian says, as a young and multicultural country, Canadian design does not have a set look and style. \"That's also what makes it so exciting. Anything can come out of Canadian design creation,\" he says. \"There's a type of diversity that exists here that really doesn't exist in a lot of other places.\" Christian says many of the new firms in Canada are marrying the worlds of tech and design. \"There's going to be a lot of really interesting innovation coming out of here that will take that design to another level,\" he says. Many designers who do become global brands end up leaving Canada to go fully international. The market in Canada remains small compared to Europe, United States and Asia, where Daniel Christian Tang is setting up a satellite office. These include names like Jason Wu, who dressed former First Lady Michelle Obama, and Erdem Moralioglu, a UK-based Canadian and Turkish fashion designer who has dressed stars like Cate Blanchett and Marion Cotillard. But Christian says Canadian designers are recognised globally for their attention to detail and the level of care they put into their brands. \"Being a Canadian presence goes quite a long way,\" he says. For many indigenous peoples in Canada whose ancestors have been in North America for thousands of years, the Canada 150 celebrations are controversial. But Aboriginal recording artist Susan Aglukark has embraced being named an ambassador for the celebrations. \"We're the original Canadians, so we're always going to participate in anything that is Canadian and makes this a better country. \"And as an artist I write about Canadian history, I write about indigenous issues in Canadian history and you know, the controversy is part of that history,\" she says. The Inuk singer-songwriter grew up in Arviat, Nunavut, and has gone on to perform for Queen Elizabeth II and Nelson Mandela. She has long been inspired by Buffy Sainte-Marie, the pioneering indigenous musician, social activist and artist whose songs have been covered by artists like Barbra Streisand and Neil Diamond. Aglukark also points to Kashtin, a Canadian Innu country folk duo who rose to fame around the same time as Aglukark, as an inspiration. \"We became fast friends because as much as we come to this career from different places, we come to it from very isolated environment. \"When success happens, for a lot of us it's a lot,\" she says. \"It's sometimes too much, too fast,\" Like Buffy Sainte-Marie, many of Aglukark's inspirations are multi-talented artists also deeply committed to activism, from one of Canada's most popular actors, Tom Jackson, to singer-songwriter Bruce Cockburn. Aglukark says while Canada has failed indigenous people in many ways, it has done much to support indigenous art and talent. Those artists have done some \"incredible heavy lifting on our behalf in an international platform and put Canada on the map\" Aglukark says. Business and tech One industry where the world is taking notice of Canada is artificial intelligence. AI researchers like Geoff Hinton, Richard Sutton and Yoshua Bengio are recognised globally for their contributions to deep learning and related AI techniques behind recent innovations in the field. Jordan Jacobs, co-founder at Toronto's Layer 6 AI, calls artificial intelligence \"the most transformational tech of our lifetime and maybe the last 100 years\". \"From a research perspective, it leads the world,\" he says. Layer 6 AI, which uses deep learning to solve business challenges, helped found the new Vector Institute, which is trying to build a bridge between AI research and its commercialisation. The Institute has received support and funding from banking giant RBC and Google, among others. Canada's tech has an international legacy, from Research in Motion, which developed the Blackberry smartphone, to the now defunct Nortel Networks, a multinational telecommunications equipment maker. But now there is a push to turn Canada into a major tech powerhouse rivalling Silicon Valley. Jacobs says efforts to build a \"Silicon Valley north\" in the Toronto and Kitchener-Waterloo region of Ontario are bearing fruit, with a critical mass of new companies smart and large gaining more access to capital, and established tech companies like Google and Uber opening labs there. There is Thalmic Labs, a wearable technology maker, which last year recently got nearly US $120m from investors, storytelling app Wattpad which raised US$66m from investors, and dozens of other companies - from e-commerce powerhouse Shopify to chat app Kik. Jacobs says he's \"super bullish\" about the future of Canada's tech industry. \"We should be able to look back and draw a straight line from this moment and say - this is how we became a world leader in technologies of the future.\" Vikram Vij is building an Indian cuisine empire. The Indian-born Canadian celebrity chef was not satisfied with two internationally acclaimed Vancouver restaurants. Critics have hailed Vij's, which opened in 1994, as \"among the finest Indian restaurants in the world\". Vij is also a cookbook and memoir author, a television personality, and owns a ready-made food line. He's an entrepreneur, something he believes everyone is at heart. \"Everyone wants to sing and dance to their own tunes of life,\" he says. Canada has not always seen itself as a hub of innovation and business ambition in comparison to its southern neighbour. But Vij says Canada is a \"brilliant place to be\" for entrepreneurs. \"It is a young country,\" he says. \"It allows you to express yourself.\" \"We don't get the recognition that the US might. We do our part, we do it well and we do it quietly and that's who we are,\" Vij says. \"And that's what's going to be our biggest asset. We are subtly elegant.\"",

Councillor Mark Hawthorne said: \"There doesn't seem to me to be any likelihood of their proposal achieving the local support the council sees as crucial to the success of any trial. \"The A417 remains one of the biggest transport bottlenecks in Gloucestershire and we'll keep lobbying to persuade the Highways Agency to come up with a credible long-term solution.\" A Highways Agency spokeswoman said it had been working in partnership with the council since March 2012 on a \"preliminary assessment of the scheme\". \"As part of the assessment we have been waiting for advice from the council on the most appropriate way to engage with the public and local residents on the proposal,\" she said. \"As Gloucestershire County Council has now announced it no longer wishes to support the trial we do not think it is appropriate to progress the proposal further. \"We will however continue to work with the council on finding alternative solutions to the congestion issues at Air Balloon Roundabout.\"",

Now on his 11th series, Tom has a team of four to help turn the bakers' creations into works of art on paper and plate. Instead of mixing with celebrities in the tent, father-of-three Tom now works from his home in Newport, south Wales. And he sees his distaste for sweet treats as an advantage, given he's \"staring at it for pretty much six months of every year\". \"Although I am a massive foodie - I love cooking and eating most things - I'm just not that into cakes, desserts, pretty much anything you might see on Bake Off,\" he said. In the pressure-cooker environment of the Channel 4 programme, not every bake turns out quite how the amateur bakers intended - and Tom's tasty-looking illustrations can sometimes look a lot better than the end result. Luckily, Tom is allowed \"an element of artistic licence\" for any kitchen disasters. \"The aim is to create what the bakers intended, not what they actually did,\" he said. Recipe for success It was a twist of fate that led Tom to a successful career in food illustration. Moving to London with his girlfriend - now wife - as a freelancer led to work in the edit suite of a television production company. It was then that an unexpected opportunity arose to work on a new programme called The Great British Bake Off. \"They wanted a visual element for the show, so the viewers could conceptualise what was being created,\" said Tom. \"They asked me to sketch some ideas - representations as if the bakers had sketched in their kitchen notebooks. I started with simple black line and shading, then as the series continued, I added colour in the second year and kept refining.\" What started as a stop-gap eventually became a recipe for success. \"Food illustration wasn't something I was looking to do. As the series went on they kept on adding shows and Bake Off became more of my year,\" said Tom. \"I was working on a show as an entry level person and doing a bit of illustrating. It was a cool job. It took a good few years for it to become popular - I didn't watch it for a few years.\" \"I sat back and realised I had created a style of my own that was recognisable. I decided to focus on food illustration, as I had become more interested in food culture by that point.\" Although a keen home cook, Tom struggled when he tried his hand at baking for his family. \"I tried a bit of baking but didn't have the patience. I thought 'I can do that', bought a load of butter and flour and it took all day!\" he said. Unwelcome ingredient The latest series of Bake Off came with an unwelcome ingredient - Covid-19. Like so many other families across the country, the pandemic meant Tom had to set up a makeshift office at home, surrounded by his young daughter and new-born twins. But Tom, who has only visited the show's famous tent once over the years and doesn't mingle with the celebrity guests or presenters, isn't missing the limelight. \"I'm happy to work in production,\" he said.",

But it mistakenly tweeted the wrong web address several times, leading some customers to a fake website. One security researcher told the BBC it was a \"massive faux-pas\". Following its data breach, Equifax set up a new website - equifaxsecurity2017.com - to let people find out more information. The website also let people register for a credit monitoring service, by entering personal details into a form. Many security researchers said Equifax should have hosted this information on its main website - equifax.com - rather than setting up a new one. They pointed out that the new web address looked like one a scammer might set up to try to fool victims. Security researcher Nick Sweeting tweeted: \"Yeah... no thanks... it would take me literally 20 mins to build a clone of this site.\" He then did exactly that, creating an almost identical version of the website at securityequifax2017.com. His fake version of the website also let people fill in their personal information - but then told them they had been \"bamboozled\". Staff operating the Equifax twitter feed shared the fake website with customers several times. In a statement, Equifax said: \"All posts using the wrong link have been taken down. We apologise for the confusion. \"Consumers should be aware of fake websites purporting to be operated by Equifax. Our dedicated website for consumers to learn more about the incident and sign up for free credit monitoring is equifaxsecurity2017.com and our US company homepage is equifax.com.\" Faux-pas \"Clearly, the social media team has not been thoroughly briefed,\" said Ken Munro from the security firm Pen Test Partners. \"That's a massive faux-pas, they should not be pointing people to a website that is not the real one. \"They are lucky the person behind it was a well-intentioned security researcher, it could easily have been somebody harvesting credentials.\" Criminals often use a widely-publicised data breach to try and fool victims into handing over more of their personal data. \"People have to be careful after a data breach. Hackers often email victims trying to spoof the affected organisations,\" said Mr Munro. \"You might get phone calls from people pretending to be from the support team. We see this all the time - be on your guard.\"",

            "input": "By Will LeitchBBC News NI Nigel Mumford said an officer he did not recognise asked him to plant bullets on their clothes. He told the court that he refused to do it and that the bullets were not planted. Mr Mumford said he did not report the officer at the time because he hoped to leave the Royal Army Medical Corps. The inquest is looking into the fatal shootings of 10 people in the Ballymurphy area of west Belfast in August 1971. The shootings occurred amid disturbances sparked by the introduction of internment without trial in Northern Ireland. Earlier, Mr Mumford told the inquest that he watched the moment soldiers open fire on people at an Army base. Mr Mumford, who served with 23 Parachute Field Ambulance, attached to B Company 2 Para, was based in the Henry Taggart Hall on the day six people died. He told the court he treated five casualties brought into the hall. The witness said he watched Lieutenant M42 take six or seven soldiers outside the base, as it was being attacked with gunfire and by rioters. Mr Mumford said that with the permission of Major M45, Lieutenant M42 shouted some warnings, and then ordered his men to open fire on the crowd and shoot to kill. The former corporal described a \"fusillade of shots\" for about a minute. He said he did not see the group which had been reported as attacking the base and only heard that they had scattered as some fell wounded or dead. A lawyer for the family of one of the victims asked Mr Mumford about the culture of the Parachute Regiment in 1971. He agreed that at times rubber bullets had been doctored with nails by other soldiers before being fired. He also described the treatment of men arrested and interned who he said were sometimes tied up and hooded, and pushed around. \"You use Paras to fight wars...\" he said. \"Not as cheap policemen.\" Mr Mumford described the casualties who came into the hall, and said he was frustrated that he couldn't save lives. During his descriptions the families of those who died were clearly very upset. He said three casualties were placed in the main hall, including an older man shot in the arm, and a younger man shot in the neck. He said that he could not remember the injuries of the third man. Two other men were placed in his medical room, whom he believes to have been Joseph Murphy and Daniel Teggart. Mr Mumford became angry when he heard that other witnesses had testified that some casualties had been beaten and kicked by soldiers in the hall. Of one casualty, Davy Callaghan, he said: \"Nobody touched that man, nobody kicked that man, nobody violated his human rights. \"What you have heard is perjury from families who want money.\" he went on. That comment brought gasps from the next of kin present in court. 'Frustration' He went on to express his frustration that he was a first aider and not a doctor. Mr Mumford also remembered trying to resuscitate a man, possibly Noel Phillips, and concluding he must be dead. He told the court that Daniel Teggart had been shot many times and his lungs were visible. He said he carried out a procedure as best he could and stabilised his breathing. He remembered asking other soldiers to apply dressings to the injuries of Joseph Murphy who had been shot in the leg. He said he took a shell dressing off because of swelling and tried to stop the bleeding, before becoming concerned that he might have died. Mr Mumford told the court he wishes he had left the dressing on because it might have acted as a tourniquet. Mr Murphy lived for several more days. Mr Mumford expressed his frustration that poor medical training prevented him from saving lives. Later he said, he observed the body of Joan Connolly being brought into the base. Photographs He told the court that the doctor took photographs of her injuries. Mr Mumford said such photographs were used to teach and train medical personnel and were often taken. The former Army medical assistant has written a book about his experiences and has also posted several videos on the internet where he gives his account of what happened. For this reason he had not requested anonymity like other soldiers who have given evidence to the inquest. Mr Mumford lives abroad and was giving his video evidence from there. His evidence continues tomorrow.",

            "input": "Some of these items have - safely - gone on display in a Leeds museum. Here's a quick guide to the domestic dangers of yesteryear. Household horrors This glass table centrepiece contains uranium oxide, a radioactive compound that was added to some glassware in the 19th Century to give it a fashionable green tinge and help it stand out in the home. Similarly, the streaky glass jug might look stylish but it too contains uranium oxide. And this fire extinguisher, made in about 1910, might have been intended to make the home safer but early fire extinguishers such as this actually contained toxic chemicals that could be very harmful in confined spaces. The feathered fan above contains a small stuffed bird. It might have been intended to beautify the fan but as Victorian taxidermists used arsenic or mercury as a preservative, this bird was dangerous to touch. And this dapper-looking top hat from 1840 contains mercuric nitrate, which was used to treat felt. The substance could cause heavy metal poisoning, which in turn could lead to aggression - hence the phrase \"mad as a hatter\". Curator from Leeds Museums Kitty Ross says: \"There were also whole ranks of toys that would not meet current regulations; choking hazards and sharp points were commonplace and many were covered in paint that contained lead, or indeed were made of lead.\" Sweets, treats and smokes These potassium chlorate pastilles were used in the 1880s to soothe sore throats - although as potassium chlorate could spontaneously combust, there was the danger that whoever took them might end up with a considerably sorer throat than before. And this tin of lemonade powder, sold by Home & Colonial Stores, looks like it would mix with water rather nicely in the billy can next to it. Bad idea. Enamel objects such the billy can often contained antimony, which could be dissolved by the acid in lemonade powder to create a toxic drink. And sweets themselves could be deadly, as a mix-up in 1858 demonstrates. A druggist's apprentice in Bradford accidentally supplied arsenic, instead of a sugar alternative, to a sweet-maker, who used the poison in the manufacture of a batch of humbugs. About 20 people died and hundreds more suffered from arsenic poisoning. And we might all now be aware of the dangers of smoking, but this 1920s cigarette case bears the jaunty message: \"When things are getting beyond a joke light a cigarette and have a smoke.\" Potentially deadly advice, as science would later prove. Powders and potions As part of the exhibition, Stella Baraklianou is to deliver a talk entitled Potions and Powders: Beauty and Medications to Die For. \"You wouldn't believe it when you see some of the crazy concoctions that came from Victorian pharmacists, and after the medical industry began to patent and advertise products,\" she says. One concoction, Mrs Wilmslow's Soothing Syrup, contained morphine and yet was given to babies. \"It was meant to send them to sleep but some would never wake up,\" says Dr Baraklianou. And laudanum, another staple of Victorian medicine, was tincture of opium containing morphine and codeine. Sherlock Holmes, the famous fictional detective, was a user but so were many people in the real world, again including children. What's more, many Victorian face powders contained arsenic, so a fashionable white complexion could be a killer. \"The powder would often cause facial scars... and so the user would use more powder to cover the scars,\" said Dr Baraklianou. Prolonged use of such a product could prove fatal. And in the early 1900s, hair restorer - a liquid that was used on faded or grey hair - often contained both poisonous lead and combustible kerosene. The home is now clearly a safer place, although as Ashley Martin from the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents points out, there's no room for complacency. \"Over the last 100 years there have been huge developments in public and environmental health and trading standards,\" he says. \"It is a constantly evolving progress but I'm sure there will be something today that at the moment doesn't seem to be a problem that could turn out to be a hazard.\" Of course, it's not possible to make the home entirely safe - after all, one of the most dangerous things any of us does on a daily basis is to come down the stairs. About 6,000 people die in Britain every year in an accident in the home, Mr Martin says. \"There will be always something in the house that we need that is hazardous, like cleaning chemicals, but it is about how we store and use safely - it is not always the product itself.\" Danger Zone opens on Saturday at Abbey House Museum in Kirkstall and runs for the rest of 2019.",

            "input": "Rethinking trade deals Mr Trump has done his best to capitalise on the discontent around trade deals. He has suggested renegotiating trade deals using \"negotiators whose goal will be to win for America\". Mr Trump has not spelt out what that \"win\" looks like, but he has promised to step away from deals like the existing North American Free Trade Agreement (Nafta) between the US, Canada and Mexico if a good rearrangement cannot be reached. Mr Trump has also promised to get tough with countries that violate trade agreements, applying new tariffs and pursuing cases against them in the World Trade Organization. He has specifically accused China of being \"the single greatest currency manipulator that's ever been on this planet\". However, one country he has reached out to is the UK. Mr Trump favoured Brexit and last month his trade adviser told the BBC the UK would be offered a free trade deal before the rest of the European Union if the Republican candidate won the election. Dan DiMicco said the UK would be at the front of the queue for any future trade deal once it has left the EU. Tariffs Mr Trump has called for a 35% tariff on Mexican imports and a 45% tariff on products from China. That would mean that a television made in Mexico that currently retails in the US for $100 would see its price rise to $135. This could encourage US citizens to buy more products made in America, but it might result in Mexico retaliating by placing its own tariffs on US goods. This would be bad news for many US companies because Mexico is the US's third largest export market, purchasing $267.2bn in American goods last year. Cut taxes Mr Trump favours cutting taxes for everyone, and reducing the number of federal income tax brackets from seven to three. He has said he would reduce the top rate of the tax from 39.6% to 33%. His proposed tax brackets are: Yet he has also proposed closing tax loopholes that typically favour the rich, and wants to see parents of young children get a deduction to cover the average cost of childcare. Regarding the estate or \"death tax\", Mr Trump has said he would eliminate it completely. The tax only applies when a family member passes on more than $5.45m (£4.39m) worth of assets to an individual, or $10.9m to a married couple. In terms of the federal corporate tax, the main tax on businesses, he has said he will reduce it to 15% from the current rate of 35%, which is one of the highest in the world. During the election campaign Mr Trump's team said the plan would cut the amount of income the government collected by $4.4 trillion over a decade. This is far below the $9.5tn calculated by the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center in August. Mr Trump has also said he would prevent US companies moving their corporate headquarters abroad to avoid US taxes, and eliminate carried interest tax - a tax that mostly benefits hedge fund investors He has not proposed significant reductions in spending on public pensions and public healthcare programmes like social security, Medicaid and Medicare. The funding needed for those is expected to balloon over the next decade, and its unclear where the money to pay for them will come from without tax increases. An analysis performed by the Tax Foundation think tank last month found that while Mr Trump's plan would lower taxes for all Americans, it would lower them most for the highest earners. Who's hiring? Mr Trump has promised to put Americans back to work. In his victory speech after Hillary Clinton had conceded defeat, he said: \"We're gonna rebuild our infrastructure, which will become, by the way, second to none. And we're going to put millions of people to work as we rebuild it.\" His employment plan also focuses on encouraging more businesses to open in the US, and removing regulations to make it easier for companies to hire. Throughout the election campaign Mr Trump focused mostly on increasing manufacturing jobs, which have declined by around five million since 2000. Much of that decline has been caused by improvements in technology, however, not outsourcing. He has promised to create 25 million jobs over 10 years and to double economic growth to 4%, a rate which hasn't been seen since the Bill Clinton presidency in the 1990s. Last year the US economy expanded by 2.4%.",

            "input": "By Pia GadkariBusiness reporter, BBC News In the UK, the number of people killed in cycling accidents is on the rise. Most serious incidents involve another vehicle and commonly occur when the cyclist is travelling straight ahead and another vehicle turns into it, research suggests. That's why Emily Brooke, founder of Blaze, says she designed a light that projects an image of a green bike onto the ground about 5 metres (16ft) ahead of the cyclist. 'Lit like a Christmas tree' Blaze uses a laser to project the bike symbol on the ground. It is also fully waterproof and comes in a sleek aluminium case with a backlit control panel. \"It's vehicles travelling in the same direction as you that cross your path who would see this light,\" Ms Brooke says. \"This helps in your classic blind-spot scenario. \"You can be lit up like a Christmas tree and have every light on the market, but ultimately if you're in the vehicle's blind spot, you're still invisible.\" \"They see this light and don't turn.\" At FlyKly, which makes electrically-assisted bike wheels, Niko Klansek says safety concerns are a key reason why people choose not to cycle. During a campaign on crowdfunding site Kickstarter to raise cash for the \"smartwheel\", many people asked for it to be available in fluorescent colours so that they could be seen more easily from the side. \"Otherwise the usual lights are just at the front and back,\" Mr Klansek says. \"But it's really important to be seen from the side too.\" 'Outstanding design flaw' Cycling safety expert Ian Walker, of the University of Bath, agrees, saying anything cyclists can do to make themselves more visible to drivers - such as wearing reflectives and lights, especially in the dark - is an advantage for them. But former professional cyclist Michael Hutchinson says many people do not use safety equipment because they do not like the look of it. \"The most outstanding design flaw with the traditional polystyrene helmet is that it messes up people's hair, it's sweaty on the head,\" Mr Hutchinson says. \"Also a lot of people don't like the look of bike helmets.\" Niko Klansek, of FlyKly, agrees, saying that if people could cycle without breaking a sweat many more would use one to get to work. \"They want to dress for their destination, not for the bike ride,\" Mr Klansek says of his customers. 'Invisible' helmet Anna Haupt, co-founder of Hovding, says she encountered the same sort of resistance to wearing helmets. \"People told us they wanted an 'invisible' cycle helmet,\" she says. \"We heard it over and over again, that people did not want to wear helmets because it ruined their hair.\" Hovding's airbag-style head gear stays folded inside a neck collar until the moment it detects an accident taking place. Once the collar is switched on it uses six sensors to monitor the body's movements 200 times per second, registering both the angles and speed of the neck. During the ride, the helmet keeps track of the readings - ready to release the airbag if it receives a single data point that falls outside the normal range. \"If you happen to be in an accident, your body movements will be completely different from normal cycling,\" Ms Haupt explains. \"An icy road produces more angular adjustments, and if you get hit by a car it's a very obvious acceleration in your body,\" she says. But Dr Ian Walker says it isn't only cyclists that have a mental block about helmets. While they are an important protection if an accident takes place, seeing bikers wearing a helmet can actually cause some motorists to drive less carefully around them, he says. Reflexes 'too slow' Ulf Bjornstig, Professor of Surgery at Umea University, says that in Sweden cyclists are in more accidents than any other type of road user. Head injuries are the most common, with 10% of victims suffering concussion or becoming unconscious, he says. \"The head hits the ground quite hard. If we look at non-fatal injuries, quite often you land on the ground with your face - nose, chin.\" But in the case of fatal accidents, \"those victims are often hit from behind or the side,\" Prof Bjornstig says. \"That's the difference between fatal and non-fatal injuries.\" Jurij Lozic, in Slovenia, who recently completed a Kickstarter campaign for a bendy mudguard originally designed for fixed-gear bikes, says style and aesthetics are very important in making a product sell. His Musguard fenders are die cut from recyclable polypropylene - a common kind of plastic sheeting - and come in a range of bright colours. \"People want beautiful products to enhance their bikes,\" Mr Lozic explains. Preventing future accidents? But as appealing as some accessories may be, former professional cyclist Michael Hutchinson is sceptical that the average biker would be willing to spend large sums solving the problem. The Hovding helmet costs nearly 400 euros (£330) while the Blaze bike light can be pre-ordered for £125. Mr Hutchinson adds that he fears accessories such as helmets are something of a \"distraction\" in the bigger picture of improving cyclist safety. \"At a fundamental level, helmets will not prevent a single accident,\" he says. Dr Ian Walker agrees, saying that when it comes to preventing accidents, \"nothing is going to get safer than hard segregation of cyclists and motorists\".",

Miss Morton said that not long after leaving the UK they received an email from a mutual friend of Miss Ellis, which read \"I can remember when just climbing the stairs to bed would cause Elle so much pain\". \"That line rings so loud in our heads whenever we doubt ourselves or our ability to continue, and so we push on and live for the day we can proudly step foot in Antigua,\" Miss Morton said. The women are raising money for Myton Hospice who cared for Miss Ellis until her death and Jo's Cervical Cancer Trust. John Lawton, Hannah's father, added: \"They are still out at sea and their challenge is turning out to be epic following many mechanical and electronic failures to their boat and the extremely severe storms we are all experiencing at present. \"They are the two youngest females ever to row from La Gomera to Antigua and they have amassed a huge amount of followers for their valiant and courageous efforts.\"",

            "input": "ANALYSIS by Hugh PymChief economics correspondent, BBC News That was the sobering message from the Bank of England in its latest Quarterly Inflation Report. In essence things look more difficult than they did in May at the time of the last report. A \"choppy recovery\" is the way the Bank's governor described it. So what's changed? Mervyn King said the financial problems facing governments and banks were headwinds slowing recovery. He said credit conditions hadn't eased up as much as anticipated. In other words, the banks are still busily rebuilding their balance sheets and not loosening the purse strings as rapidly as they might have done. The Budget's austerity measures, the Bank acknowledged, have squeezed its growth forecast. Households may be less inclined to spend because they are worried about public sector cuts. But the Bank does point out that the Budget measures reassured the financial world so market interest rates are lower than they would otherwise have been. That factor supports growth to a certain extent. High prices Inflation will, in the Bank's view, remain stubbornly high because of volatility in commodity prices and the impact of the VAT increase next January. Mervyn King stressed that the Bank had not gone soft on inflation or taken its eye off the ball. If above-target inflation generates higher wage demands then alarm bells will ring in Threadneedle Street. On the Bank's projections, inflation will have fallen back below the 2% target by the end of 2012. But the governor believes there are downside risks to growth. In other words, the Bank's core view is that inflation will fall at the end of next year and growth could well get dragged down. In those circumstances, the Bank might be considering an even looser monetary policy in the shape of more new money pumped into the economy. The Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) knows it cannot consider easing policy if there is still market scepticism about inflation falling. One of its members, Andrew Sentence, has voted for a rate increase that would constrain prices. And therein lies its dilemma. The natural instincts of many MPC members might be to expand the Bank's quantitative easing policy to prop up lacklustre growth. But that is hardly an option with inflation so far above target. The governor and his colleagues may have to sit on their hands and hope. The dilemma of faltering growth and high inflation will be far from easy to resolve.",

He told the jury he sent messages to Mrs Wadsworth years after the alleged abuse when \"drunk, depressed, or down\". Julie, 60, and Tony Wadsworth, 69, deny assaulting seven boys in the 1990s. For more on this story and other Birmingham news The Wadsworths, from Broughton Astley, Leicestershire, who have worked for BBC Radio Leicester and BBC WM, deny five counts of outraging public decency between July 1992 and June 1996. Mrs Wadsworth has pleaded not guilty to 12 charges of indecent assault and Mr Wadsworth denies 10 counts of the same offence. 'Felt guilty' The complainant, now in his 30s, told Warwick Crown Court: \"I kept going back when the abuse was happening. \"I didn't really want to do that. Afterwards I felt guilty, it was terrible.\" Mrs Wadsworth's barrister David Hislop claimed the accuser became angry because the radio star \"rejected\" his advances when he contacted her on Facebook and by email years later. The complainant replied: \"Yeah, I was probably too old.\" The man also denied the barrister's claims he had become \"wholly obsessed\" with Mrs Wadsworth and that he reported the couple to police only after his \"heartfelt\" messages were ignored. The man replied: \"I had occasionally [become obsessed] - when I was drunk, depressed, or down. \"When I looked back on it and would crave it [sex].\" \"It's probably why you're meant to have sex with underage kids isn't it, because that is what it does to them.\" 'Stalker or nuisance' He has told the jury he reported his allegations to police after receiving professional child protection training. In a Facebook message he sent to Mrs Wadsworth in 2015, he said he wanted to meet her. It read: \"Been years - I still look back very fondly on fun times xx.\" Another said: \"I hope you don't see me as a stalker or a nuisance or anything like that - I'm a genuine guy and do really look back fondly on our time. \"I learnt a hell of a lot during our friendly chats.\" The man said he deleted the messages, hoping they were unread.

On Wednesday, Theresa May seemed to focus on the latter, making her entrance for her big conference speech by boogieing to Abba's Dancing Queen. It's not the first time the PM has shown off her footwork. On the first day of a trade mission to Africa in August, she attempted to dance with a group of school children. It's fair to say her moves weren't universally acclaimed - \"wooden\" and \"cringe-worthy\" being two widely-used adjectives. Others, though, praised her willingness to get stuck in and have fun. Indeed, it wasn't long until her toes were tapping again, as just two days later, she mimicked the moves of a group of scouts in Nairobi, Kenya. When she returned to the UK, Mrs May embraced the attention her moves had attracted, even offering professionals her advice. But while she tweeted, others reacted in differing ways. She got the backing of some, like the original robot dancer and footballer Peter Crouch... Others were happier to criticise her moves... But we had not seen the last of the dancing prime minister... As Mrs May headed on stage on Wednesday to give her crunch speech to party conference - to show she could lead both the country and her members, and try to silence her critics - she thought there was only one way to do it... Downing Street insisted that her latest groove was \"spontaneous\". They said they had decided to cue up the Abba track simply because the PM likes it - it was one of her Desert Island Discs after all. But they claimed they had not expected her to start getting down to it. Last year's conference speech was disastrous for Mrs May. She struggled with a terrible cough, was interrupted by a prankster and had to deal with a collapsing set. The consensus is she couldn't ignore all that this time and had to confront it instead. So confront it she did, from the dancing right through to joking about \"super-gluing the backdrop\". She got the support of some of her more loyal MPs for her humour... Some political commentators also welcomed her willingness to mock herself and present a friendlier, funnier side. And the Swedish Ambassador to the UK praised her choice of tune... But there were some sceptics on the ground who thought it may have been a little more planned... And opposition MPs felt it was just a distraction tactic from bigger issues - as well as ruining their favourite song... But BBC political correspondent Chris Mason was sold on her performance. \"While I become a pound shop Political Bruno Tonioli with some trepidation, and this sort of stuff is guaranteed to make some groan, I thought the PM's jiggy thingy was great,\" he said. \"Using Dancing Queen as her music to arrive on stage to, and then busting some moves, as I think I'm meant to describe it, was novel and self-deprecating. \"Will this suddenly mean her most ardent critics will be won over? No. \"But does it help humanise the prime minister dubbed 'the Maybot'? Yes.\" Did it work for you?",

Mrs Potter said she shot Daunte Wright accidentally, having mistakenly drawn her gun instead of her Taser, a stance backed by Mr Gannon. Despite the resignations fresh clashes between police and protesters erupted for a third night. Mr Wright's mother has been speaking about her last phone call to her son. In tears, she told reporters she could never have imagined he would be killed. The death happened in a suburb of Minneapolis, a city already on edge amid the trial of a white ex-police officer accused of murdering African American George Floyd. On Tuesday night bottles and other projectiles were thrown at the Brooklyn Center police headquarters and officers responded by firing tear gas, stun grenades and rubber bullets. More than 60 people were arrested, Minnesota State Patrol Colonel Matt Langer told reporters. Another demonstration broke out in Portland, Oregon, on Tuesday night, with about 100 protesters marching on the Portland Police Association Building. Flames were seen coming out of the side of the police building about an hour later. The Portland Police Bureau declared the gathering a riot. Portland was the centre of mass demonstrations last year, in the wake of the killing of George Floyd. Speaking to reporters earlier, Brooklyn Center Mayor Mike Elliott said he had appointed 19-year veteran Tony Gruenig to take over for Tim Gannon. On Monday, Mr Gannon had said the shooting of Mr Wright appeared to be an \"accidental discharge\" after Mrs Potter mistook her service pistol for a stun gun. \"I appreciate the officer stepping down,\" the mayor said, adding that he hoped her leaving would \"bring some calm to the community\". He said the city had intended to fire Mrs Potter. \"We want to send a message to the community that we are taking this situation seriously,\" he added. Meanwhile, prosecutors are expected to decide whether to charge Mrs Potter on Wednesday, the Associated Press news agency reported. \"We have to make sure that justice is served... Daunte Wright deserves that. His family deserves that,\" Mr Elliott said. The Wright family have spoken of their ordeal on the night Daunte was killed, holding a news conference near the courthouse where police officer Derek Chauvin is standing trial for George Floyd's murder. In an emotional speech, his mother Katie described what she said was the worst day of her life. She said her son called her after he was pulled over, and that she offered to give insurance details to police over the phone. She said she heard police order him to get out of the vehicle. There was a scuffling sound and an officer told him to hang up the phone. When she was eventually able to call back, his girlfriend answered and told her he had been shot. \"She pointed the phone toward the driver's seat and my son was laying there, unresponsive,\" she said in tears. \"That was the last time that I've seen my son.\" The family were joined by relatives of George Floyd and by Ben Crump, a lawyer who is representing both families. Mr Wright's aunt Naisha angrily dismissed Mrs Potter's explanation of the killing. \"Every pistol, every Taser has a safety on it,\" she said. \"I watched that video like everybody else watched that video. That woman held that gun in front of her a long damn time.\" A victory for protesters in Brooklyn Center At the scene - BBC's Tara McKelvey Upon hearing the news that the police officer who shot Daunte Wright had resigned, along with the police chief, Amber Young, a food services co-ordinator at a Salvation Army in Minneapolis, said she had two reactions. She was glad but felt the announcements should have come sooner. Standing outside the Brooklyn Center police department, she described how upset she had been with the actions of the police. \"She should have been fired,\" said Ms Young, referring to the police officer. \"Her resignation should not have come before [that].\" When it comes to the police chief, she said simply: \"I'm glad he's gone. He showed no concern for the community.\" Mr Wright was pulled over for an expired tag on his car licence plate. Family members and advocates say he was racially profiled. Police released body camera footage on Monday showing Mr Wright fleeing from officers after they told him he was being arrested for an outstanding warrant. As Mr Wright re-enters his car, Officer Potter is heard shouting \"Taser\" several times before firing a shot. In a one-sentence resignation letter to city officials. Mrs Potter wrote that she \"loved every minute of being a police officer... but I believe it is in the best interest of the community, the department, and my fellow officers if I resign immediately\".",

RBS, which is 84%-owned by the taxpayer, has announced 23,000 job losses worldwide since October 2008, including 17,100 in the UK. It also announced it had sold an 80% stake in its payments business GMS, in a deal which valued the unit at £2bn. RBS's results follow upbeat performances from Barclays, HSBC and Lloyds. 'Good progress' Chief executive Stephen Hester said the bank's five-year restructuring plan was \"on track\". \"We are making good progress with disposals and overall business restructuring,\" he said, but added that the rebuilding of RBS was \"a marathon not a sprint\". RBS said that it had provided £14.4bn of gross new loans to small businesses, but that net lending to such firms fell - as companies paid back more debt than they took on. Banks have been criticised for not doing enough to support firms during the economic downturn. Like its rivals, RBS insists that in the current climate it cannot lend faster than its customers want to repay their existing debts. The group's net interest margin - the gap between what it pays in interest and what it charges in loans - rose to 3.77% from 3.57% a year earlier \"RBS would of course point out that regulators are forcing it to hold more capital relative to assets, which forces it to charge relatively more for loans to maintain its return on capital,\" BBC business editor Robert Peston said. He added: \"The semi-nationalised bank does appear to be on the mend - although it's a long way from full strength.\" Government rescue Last year, RBS was told to sell branches by the European Commission to safeguard competition concerns after it was bailed out by the UK government. The sale of the branches to Santander earlier this week includes 311 RBS-branded branches in England and Wales, and seven NatWest branches in Scotland. Spain's Santander already owns the Abbey, Alliance & Leicester and Bradford & Bingley brands in the UK. The sale will earn a premium of about £350m on the assets' value. RBS also confirmed on Friday the sale of a majority stake of its credit card payment processing business, Global Merchant Services (GMS), in a deal that values the business at £2bn. The private equity buyers, Advent International and Bain Capital, will get just over 80% of GMS, with RBS retaining the remainder. 'Recovery' RBS led a consortium that bought Dutch bank ABN Amro before the credit crunch in 2007, but the deal was a disaster, weakening its balance sheet and forcing the government to pump in about £45bn to keep the bank afloat. The government paid an average of 50.2 pence for each of its 90.6 billion RBS shares it bought to save the bank from collapse. After the latest results were released, RBS's share price climbed 2% to near 53p. But they later lost value, eventually closing down 1.7% at 51.1p. There are not thought to be any government plans to sell its stake in either RBS or Lloyds any time soon - both in the hope of making a larger profit as the bank continues to strengthen and the feeling that such a move could threaten the fragile banking recovery. RBS is also paying a fee for a taxpayer-backed insurance fund, known as the asset protection scheme. RBS has put £282bn in toxic debts into that fund and will bear the first £60bn of losses on these. Figures from the bank suggested that repayments on those risky loans had been better than expected, our business editor said, which could ultimately allow the state to \"pocket the handsome fee for the insurance and never pay out a penny to RBS\". Most of the banks reporting this week have reported an improvement in the amount set aside for bad debts, which has helped to boost the results overall. Barclays reported pre-tax profits of £3.95bn for the first half of 2010 - up 44% on the same period last year. Lloyds, which is 41%-owned by UK taxpayers, saw its pre-tax profit come in at £1.6bn, compared with loss of £4bn in the same period in 2009. And HSBC reported pre-tax profits of $11.1bn (£7bn) for the first six months of 2010 - more than double its profits for the same time last year. \"A lot of this recovery is down to the recovery in the economy, with borrowers having less difficulty keeping up with loan repayments,\" our business editor said.",

Wendy Sinclair-Gieben, HM Chief Inspector of Prisons for Scotland, said this 9% increase is equivalent to one additional large prison. She warned the rise in inmates is putting extra pressure on the system. In her report for 2018/19, Ms Sinclair-Gieben said planned investment in key infrastructure must not be delayed. She also called for urgent action to replace HMPs Barlinnie, Greenock and Inverness, saying Victorian prisons are \"costly and no longer fit-for-purpose\". Staff pressures Ms Sinclair-Gieben said: \"The additional number of prisoners and an increasingly complex population places a heavy burden on an already overstretched prison service in Scotland. \"I am very concerned that the number of prisoners is starting to exceed design capacity, resulting in not only additional pressures on staff, the prison regime and activities, but also on the essential programme and through-care activities designed to reduce recidivism.\" Scotland's incarceration rate is one of the highest in Europe. The number of prisoners on remand awaiting trial has also risen from 1,142 last year (15.4% of the prison population) to 1,350 (16.6%) by 31 March this year. The report said problems relating to overcrowding include: The \"sharp rise\" in prisoners has been linked to factors including longer sentences for the most serious of crimes, a rise in the number of people being convicted of sexual offences, and more serious and organised crime being successfully prosecuted. Other factors include the reduction of prisoners being released on home detention curfew and very few prisoners subject to an order for lifelong restriction achieving parole. The report said these factors are likely to continue to place pressure on the size of the prison population for some time to come. Ms Sinclair-Gieben welcomed the Scottish government's plans to extend the presumption against short prison sentences from the current three months to 12. But she said she remains concerned it \"may not be enough to bring the prison population back in line with design capacity\". The report also found the Scottish Prison Service (SPS) is currently facing \"immense\" financial pressures, with the SPS being obliged to purchase places in the two privately-run prisons in Scotland, HMP Addiewell and HMP Kilmarnock. Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Prisons for Scotland carried out four full prison inspections, two return visit inspections, five court custody unit (CCU) inspections and two thematic reviews over the year. Mobility issues Inspectors noted problems with overcrowding and difficulties with access for people with mobility issues in some CCUs. They suggested some of the issues could be addressed through greater use of video-link court appearances. An SPS spokeswoman welcomed the report and said the service \"can take pride in how our prisons are run\". She added: \"SPS also welcomes HMCIPS's findings that staff and those in our care feel safe, and that they found the relationships and interactions between staff and prisoners to be positive and built on mutual respect. \"We continue to develop the regime for prisoners to maximise the range of purposeful activities available to them such as work, education and offender programmes to address their offending behaviour.\"",

            "input": "By Marcus LiddellBBC News With so many other sights to see in Britain, the fascination with a man-made, manicured shopping centre on the outskirts of Bicester is somewhat baffling to those closer to home. But for Chinese visitors to the UK - more than half of whom shop at Bicester Village, according to the outlet - a walk through its Scandi-inspired high streets is an unmissable part of the trip. Tracey Xiau, a student at Birmingham University, has stopped off on her way to London. It's her second visit to the site, which has savings on high-end brands such as Burberry, Gucci and Armani. Through the help of a translator, she explains \"it is very famous for Chinese people\" - especially with Chinese women who like shopping. \"The discounts are very nice and the product has a good brand, that's why I come here,\" she adds. The appeal is obvious to a large extent. \"We can buy discounted items... [it is] cheaper than high street stores,\" say Mo Zhou and Leon Yue, a well-dressed couple from Beijing who have already snapped up a pair of designer sunglasses. For Yining Lu and Huang Xin, they want to take advantage of being able to claim back the 20% VAT available to non-EU visitors. \"The tax is higher in China so we need to buy it in Bicester,\" says Ms Lu, who has been planning her trip for two months. Mr Xin wants to \"buy, buy, buy, buy\". Asked whether it was cheaper than in China, she replies: \"Yes, of course. I want to get tax free.\" Bicester Village was established in 1995 by American Scott Malkin on the edge of what he then described as \"a garrison town best known for Friday night fighting and take-out food.\" Chinese citizens have only recently become regular travellers to the UK and since the mid-2000s, Bicester has taken advantage, working with Chinese tour operators. Today, it is the only outlet in the UK visited en masse by Chinese tourists and it scores highly in almost all of the country's online tourist forums, where it is described as a \"must-go place for visitors to London\". You might also be interested in: Five ways China's past has shaped its present China deters jaywalkers with water spray at crossing - BBC News The undying Asian gay icon in red high heels The Village also features on social media channels such as Weibo and WeChat, where posts and comments - mostly of shoppers showing off their purchases - are shared every day. Owner Value Retail is surely reaping the benefits of its marketing plan, though it declined to comment. However, it estimates it had 6.6m visitors last year, a similar figure to Visit Britain's figures for the British Museum. Its high footfall is perhaps helped by the outlet's proximity to the M40, which means coach groups can travel on to London, or Oxford and its surrounding villages, where tourists were spotted peering into people's gardens. But more so perhaps because it capitalised on being in the \"right place at the right time\" with the \"right product for the right people\", says Kegang Wu, a former adviser on China to the British Chamber of Commerce. \"Chinese tourists are relatively new, with their new-found money and new-found wealth,\" he says. \"The gift-giving culture of the Chinese tradition also means if they buy something they buy expensive stuff, differently to UK tourists who go abroad for a good time.\" He says the Chinese traditionally like to buy presents or gifts for friends or relatives. And, he adds, they also like a good deal. \"They're good businesspeople, they like a discount.\" Bicester Village employs 150 Mandarin speakers on site, while at its railway station - and even 60 miles away in London Marylebone - announcements for Chiltern Railways services are made in English and Mandarin. Leon Yue, from Beijing, speaks no English and was surprised to find Chinese-speaking staff at the site. She tells the translator she is buying presents for her mum after hearing about the outlet through \"word of mouth\". \"When they come here they find it very surprising to see lots of Chinese sales staff in the shops and they have received lots of welcoming, nice words from the staff, so they feel very special experience from coming today,\" the translator explains on her behalf. \"The Chinese staff make the shopping experience more convenient.\" But the outlet has challenges ahead if it is to sustain its success, says Dr Wolfgang Georg Arlt, from the China Outbound Tourism Research Institute. He says travel trends, particularly around shopping, are changing as more of the country's citizens start going abroad and it becomes less of a novelty. There is no need to buy for five others, he says, if they are travelling soon as well. \"If everybody has a Gucci bag, and you tell them 'Oh, I bought a new Gucci bag'... they're not so impressed.\" He believes to continue attracting the wealthiest Chinese tourists, the outlet must keep evolving to offer more of \"an experience\". \"These kinds of people will still come to Bicester,\" he said. \"But you will have to give them a story to tell to their friends, that they didn't just go for discounts.\" Additional reporting by BBC Chinese.",

Martin Gilbert, the chairman of the independent directors (which excludes James Murdoch, who is unable to vote because of his role as chief executive of Fox), recommended the deal today saying it delivered good value for shareholders. Not all of them agree with Gilbert. One shareholder told the BBC, \"this is a patsy deal. Many of the directors are not really independent and as a group they should be ashamed of themselves\" The BBC understands that James Murdoch, Rupert Murdoch's son and chief executive of 21st Century Fox, met with directors in early December and told them \"we are either a buyer or seller of our stake. The status quo is not an option\". James Murdoch offered a 30% premium to the existing price on the condition the directors recommended it. After further meetings, that premium was raised to 40%. Even with that premium, the sale price is roughly what the company was worth six months ago and many shareholders will feel short-changed. National interest tests The directors felt that if Fox had pursued a hostile bid, it could have bought shares in the open market at the prevailing price to take its 39% stake to more than 50%. After making an offer for the remaining shares, Sky shareholders may have ended up with a lower premium of around 20-25%. Fox will require 75% of the independent shareholders to approve the deal. It may also be referred to regulators to check whether it breaks national interest tests on the plurality of media. The Secretary of State for Culture Media and Sport, Karen Bradley has 10 days to decide whether to take that option. Given the outcry over the last bid, it seems likely she will do that but the media landscape has changed a great deal since the last takeover attempt. The last bid came from NewsCorp, which owns the Wall Street Journal, The Times and The Sun. This bid is from Fox which owns television and film businesses. The emergence of new players in media like Netflix and Amazon mean that this deal would mean less concentration of power in the sector.",

'Frustrating start' London TravelWatch said it was extremely concerned about the lack of train drivers across the franchise. Stephen Locke, chair of the watchdog, said: \"A significant gesture is necessary now if they are to have any chance of recovering the trust and confidence of increasingly cynical commuters who, being effectively a captive market, have no choice but to put up with the situation.\" He added lessons needed to be learned from the \"frustrating start\" to the new franchise.

From 9 November until 6 December, 4% of Thameslink services were cancelled and 21.3% were delayed, while 2.9% of Great Northern services were cancelled and 16% were delayed, according to figures from Govia. In a statement, Govia said: \"We apologise for the recent service on our network and in particular on Thameslink. \"As well as issues such as train failures which we are determined to address, there have been many problems with infrastructure, such as signal failures.\" The company also blamed a shortage of drivers for the cancellations and said they were recruiting more drivers. Govia said passengers who had been delayed at least 12 times in a four-week period would be entitled to claim enhanced compensation.

            "input": "It was launched by Big Issue Scotland co-founder Mel Young and Austrian journalist Harald Schmied, following a conference about homelessness in 2001. They came up with the idea over a beer and two years later the first tournament was held in Graz, Austria. Since then, it has been held annually across the world including Melbourne 2008 and Rio 2010. The tournament is organised by the Homeless World Cup Foundation charity which operates through a network of more than 70 street football partners around the world. Its aim is to use football to inspire homeless people to change their lives and to change public perceptions of homelessness along with the issues around it. Mr Young said the 2001 conference was made up from people involved in a network of street papers - such as The Big Issue - worldwide. \"Myself and another of the editors Harald Schmied were having a beer and saying how good the conference was but there were no homeless people there,\" he said. \"We came up with this idea where homeless people would be involved. \"The next day at breakfast we had a great conversation. Sometimes these conversations don't lead to anything but we said let's make this happen. \"We all had a background of working with homeless people. We all realise the power football has and it's a simple game to play.\" Each four-a-side match is 14 minutes long, made up of 7-minute halves and games are decided by penalties if they end in a draw. The first Homeless World Cup in 2003 involved 18 teams with Austria beating England in the final. Edinburgh and Glasgow are the UK cities which have previously hosted the free entry tournament, while host cities include Paris, Milan and Cape Town. Last year, Mexico City, played host for the second time attracting 160,000 spectators over the week. This year's event in Cardiff's Bute Park will include men's/mixed and women's teams featuring about 500 players from 48 countries. Mr Young said finding players can be as straightforward as one of its partners working on the ground inviting people in a hostel to have a kick-about. \"That's the simplicity of it,\" he added. \"I say participate and forget about your troubles for half-an-hour. The psychological steps are very, very important. \"You can be useless at it or wonderful and be in the same team.\" Mexico are the current world champions in both the men's and women's competitions. \"Crucially for us, although it's a great football event and football pulls us together, it's the end of a journey,\" said Mr Young. \"They are only allowed to come here one time and then they are moving on. \"80% of the players - after our event - have changed their lives forever - come off drugs, got houses, got jobs go to college. It's very impactful and that's what drives us.\" How the tournament works There are two categories - men's/mixed and women's. There are three stages of competition over the week and several different trophies to win on finals day, 3 August. First Stage: Each team plays the other teams in their respective group once. The position they finish determines which group they play in during the second stage. Second Stage: Again teams play each other once in a group. The first and second teams from each group progress to play for the Homeless World Cup (men's/mixed) or Women's Homeless World Cup (women's). Those finishing third and fourth compete for the next highest trophy, and so on. Trophy Stage: Eight teams compete for each trophy, with each competition having quarter-finals, semi-finals and finals. This includes placing games for all teams. All teams play three games in this stage.",

            "input": "By Samantha Fenwick & Simon BrowningYou and Yours They were awarded a share of a £1.2m fund, government support and access to the retail guru Mary Portas. The High Street Innovation Fund, launched a year ago, was part of the government's response to Ms Portas' review of the High Street. Results have been mixed. Shop vacancies have gone down in seven towns, but more shops overall have closed than opened. The Department for Communities and Local Government says the pilots are breathing new life into the towns. The 12 pilot areas are Bedford, Croydon, Dartford, Greater Bedminster, Liskeard, Margate, Market Rasen, Nelson, Newbiggin-by-the-Sea, Stockport, Stockton-on-Tees and Wolverhampton. Struggling stores Launched a year ago, the \"Portas Pilots\" were created to showcase innovative ways of getting people back into their local shops. But exclusive research commissioned for BBC Radio 4's You and Yours shows that in 10 of the 12 towns, more units closed than opened in the past year, with a loss of 95 units in all. Only two towns showed signs of improvement, with Bedminster and Margate adding units in the past year. In total, about 700 units closed, while fewer than 600 opened in their place. Units include cafes, banks and pubs as well as shops, while vacancy rates apply only to shops. In Stockton-on-Tees, one of the pilot areas, local traders said the funding was not being spent quickly enough and their businesses could be gone by the time it is. Cath Pillar, of Balloonatics, a party supplies shop, said she was now using her own savings to keep it afloat, adding: \" It's like nursing a baby. We don't want to lose it.\" The research was carried out by the Local Data Company. Director Matthew Hopkinson said: \"If more shops close than open, then that's when you start to see the decay of the High Street and also a rise in vacancy rates.\" The figures suggest rapidly changing environments on the High Streets, presenting problems for shoppers confused by constant change, which makes them reluctant to return. Cathy Parker, of Manchester Metropolitan University, says this churn can be healthy when innovators come in, but only when units are replaced and towns are not experiencing the kind of net loss outlined in the figures. Mixed picture The shop vacancy rates in the 12 pilot towns show improvements in some areas and decline in others. In Newbiggin-by-the-Sea, Liskeard, Bedminster, Margate, Dartford, Bedford and Wolverhampton, the number of vacant shops has fallen, suggesting new businesses have arrived and populated previously empty ones. This may be due to prolonged use or temporary usage, such as a pop-up store. The research also revealed that Market Rasen, Nelson, Stockport, Croydon and Stockton-on-Tees all had more vacant shops, which can be seen as boarded-up or empty units. The Minister for Local Growth, Mark Prisk, said the intention of the scheme was to harness the energy of local people. Mary Portas told You and Yours: \"There is no simple solution to the crisis on our High Streets. There are no quick fixes but 400 towns up and down the country are working on different plans to try and reinvigorate their High Street. \"Let's celebrate their achievements so far and learn and share ideas. Real change will take time.\"",

            "input": "Both Robert Mugabe and Daniel arap Moi were born in 1924 and both died at the age of 95. They were both involved in anti-colonial politics, though unlike Mugabe, Moi never took up arms. And they both governed former British colonies, with white settler populations, for more than two decades. Queen Elizabeth II appeared to like both men and visited their countries during the era of stability, before tales of corruption and ruthlessness towards opponents made them less desirable destinations for a royal trip. And Moi and Mugabe were both shaped by rural upbringings, where they herded cattle and goats. Christian influence Neither man grew up with their fathers and consequently had that paternal gap filled by missionaries Moi sought spiritual refuge at a Protestant missionary primary school, where he took the Christian name of Daniel. Mugabe was embraced by white Catholic missionaries at Kutama, particularly Father Jerome O'Hea, who became his mentor. And then both Moi and Mugabe went into education, becoming successful teachers. Their passion for education was felt in their policies. Moi promoted education through a school milk programme, and Mugabe introduced free education that increased literacy levels. But they also both showed a thirst for control, and sought to introduce one-party systems. Moi was successful in banning other parties, but it never came to pass in Zimbabwe. However, their obsession with control became their undoing. Political clampdown Moi, especially after the failed coup of 1982, targeted opposition voices. He was responsible for the jailing and torture of hundreds of people, as he tried to maintain total control. Mugabe, likewise, clamped down on the opposition, with people being locked up on spurious charges and opponents being harassed at every turn. And like Moi, Mugabe was linked to the deaths of some leading politicians. Mugabe, perhaps went further than Moi in violently exploiting ethnicity. Shortly after Zimbabwean independence, he masterminded a brutal military campaign, known as Gukurahundi, that saw thousands of Ndebele-speaking people killed and buried in mine shafts. But, as with the excesses in Kenya, the western capitals appeared to turn a blind eye in the 1980s. They also initially ignored signs of corruption, and that decade was marked in both countries as a time of economic stability. And then came the period when the two men's legacies truly diverge. The difference was over the thorny question of land reform. In Kenya, despite a clamour for a more equitable distribution of land, Moi, and his predecessor Jomo Kenyatta, never really took action. Perhaps because the ruling elite had already benefited from acquiring large amounts of land from the departing colonial government. Mugabe, instead, played a populist card and embarked on land seizures that resulted in hundreds of deaths, involving both farmers and opposition supporters. More on Moi and Mugabe: The land seizures caused food shortages and a gradual economic decline. And donors turned their back on the country. Mugabe stubbornly held on to power, finally being forced out by the military. He died a \"sad, sad man\" in the words of a family members at his funeral. Moi, who had survived a coup attempt, finally accepted that he had to leave power, after not being allowed to run for office again. He died at peace having acknowledged some of the harm that he had caused. Nevertheless, his death was met with a mixed reaction in Kenya as people recognised his flaws as a leader. Both men, in their deaths, were honoured by the state and dignitaries came to praise them. Both were buried at their rural homes. They appear to represent a different era and their passing provides a lesson for future leaders: never stay in power for too long, deliver the best for your people, and importantly remember that \"the evil that men do lives after them; the good is oft interred with their bones\".

At the time of the incident, Airlander's developer, Hybrid Air Vehicles (HAV), said the craft had \"experienced a heavy landing and the front of the flight deck sustained some damage\". The crew, however, were \"safe and well\". The AAIB report into the incident stated that ground crew had told Airlander's pilot the mooring line was about 50ft (15m) long, but it was in fact 155ft (47m). The rope became entangled in power lines near the airfield as the pilot attempted a second landing. \"The encounter contributed to a high final approach\", investigators said. The craft was about 180ft (55m) over the landing site and was \"reluctant to descend naturally\". The pilot attempted to manoeuvre the aircraft to a nose-down position to bring its mooring line within reach of the ground crew but it \"suddenly pitched further down to about 18 degrees and started to descend,\" the report stated. \"There was insufficient height in which to affect a full recovery and the aircraft struck the ground.\" Repairs were carried out on the cockpit and earlier this week HAV said these were complete and Airlander was undergoing \"an extensive test phase prior to its next flight\".

Environmentalists have said an accident at the site could \"devastate\" the coast. But Corallian said \"all practicable measures\" would be taken to avoid \"spill scenarios\". The 98/11-E well aims to investigate reserves found by British Gas and BP in 1986, called the Colter prospect. The platform, which would be visible from Bournemouth, Purbeck and the Isle of Wight, and the vertical well are subject to approval by the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS). Drilling would take place over 45 days. The well would then be plugged and the platform removed. If oil can be economically produced, Corallian proposes extracting it by drilling horizontally from the shore, although such a scheme would require a separate licence. A petition to Parliament is calling for drilling to be stopped, claiming \"a blowout could result in 20 million gallons of leaked oil over thousands of square miles\". But Corallian's environmental report said blowouts - where pressure control systems fail, leading to an uncontrolled flow of oil - were extremely rare and could only happen if procedures and controls were ignored. However, it acknowledged there had been about 228 smaller spills from mobile offshore drilling units between 1990 and 2005. In reviewing the environmental statement for the well, BEIS said there were \"no valid grounds for objecting to the proposals\".

As a result, an hourly boat is the only means by which residents can get out of the village to do day-to-day tasks like going to the shops or visiting the doctor. Some of those affected spoke about what they are facing and whether they feel the situation could have been avoided. 'Tardy response' to flooding Ken Jackson owns Muchelney Cattery, which lies in one of the worst affected areas. He said promises in 2012 were not followed up. \"Last year, we had an exact replica of what's happening now,\" he said. \"They had flood forums [and] meetings but the Environment Agency and government agencies are mainly interested in making people responsible for themselves, rather than what the root causes are. \"And once the event actually happened, they were pretty tardy in responding.\" He added that his business was being \"killed off\" by the flooding, with people cancelling bookings and owners unable to pick up animals. \"We're small fry, but all of these pockets of employment and investment are part of the hidden story,\" he said. \"It's devastating - and it just gets more and more obvious that we can't continue. \"We haven't done any new business since the New Year.\" Ron Smith works for a homeless charity and lives in the village of Aller, which neighbours Muchelney. He said his insurance went up five-fold to £5,000 after flooding in 2012 and he now expects that amount to triple. \"We would like to sell the property, but how can we? You can't put a price on that,\" he said. \"It's pure anger, it should never have happened.\" \"We were flooded on Christmas Day - we gave up on 3rd January and only went back in on Saturday,\" he added. \"We were staying in holiday accommodation in a nearby village. \"But it's very difficult - it came in gradually, inch by inch, so we had plenty of time to take certain actions. The whole ground floor was flooded. \"The emotional side - it's devastating, it's heartbreaking to lose your home and have to move and to see your things floating past.\" Mr Smith said he tried to go and see Environment Secretary Owen Paterson who visited the flood-hit area on Monday. \"I fought my way as far as I could but couldn't reach it by car because of the flooding - [Mr Patterson's entourage] all had big Range Rovers and they could just plough through it. \"They should have to come to Muchelney - not one senior person has come to talk to the residents and knocked on their doors and said how are you doing?\" John Leach, who owns a pottery business in Muchelney, said he was both \"sad\" and \"mad\" at the current situation. \"It's stopped business, we are actually marooned and we had to close down on the 5th or 6th January - it's a nightmare,\" he said. \"Last year was not so bad - we lived upstairs and had our wellies on the top step. Our Aga just about kept going and we carried our food upstairs. \"I'm staying with my son and daughter-in-law in Kingsbury-Stembridge - I was taken out by tractor.\" He said the flooding was 2.5ins (6cm) higher than 2012, which was \"devastating\". \"We were told by the Environment Agency that November 2012 was a once-in-100-years flood but here we are again,\" he said. \"It's so depressing, we love our work and it's so frustrating. \"But we want to fight this and make sure the agency do something about this.\" He added he was worried this was a \"pattern for the future\".",

In 2013-14, 22.4% of recorded incidents of restraints were face-down, falling to 18.5% by 2015-16. Some healthcare trainers say face-down restraint can be the only appropriate way of keeping staff and patients safe. The total number of recorded restraints rose by 16.6% from 2013-14 to 2015-16, although NHS managers said better reporting might be part of the reason for the increase. The figures were gathered following a Freedom of Information request by Norman Lamb, the Liberal Democrat MP for North Norfolk and former Health Minster, who introduced the new guidance in April 2014. Jane's story Jane (not her real name) was restrained face-down while being treated for bipolar disorder on a psychiatric ward. She was suicidal, and a male nurse had been assigned to watch her every move. \"I got very very distressed that there was this male nurse watching me use the bathroom, use the toilet,\" she said. When she tried to leave her room and became upset, she was restrained. Jane was forced to the ground, her underwear removed, and she was injected in the buttocks with medication. She said: \"These were large male nurses and the weight on my back was crushing my chest. \"And I couldn't turn my head to the side either. \"And then one of them turned my head to the side and pinned it to the side. \"Your initial reaction is to struggle, not to kick anyone or to lash out but to try and move. \"Someone's pinning you down, you can't breathe. \"I felt like I'd been assaulted. \"I felt very very very frightened. \"This was nothing to do with nursing care. \"Someone could have just sat and spoke to me.\" Mr Lamb said: \"I find it immensely distressing, to be honest with you, because I know the impact that it has on individuals. \"We have an obligation to those individuals to do better than this.\" NHS England's national clinical director for mental health, Prof Tim Kendall, said: \"We are going in the right direction, but there's a lot of other things that we need to do. \"When you go to an inpatient unit, you are commonly being restricted. \"And that's bound to produce a reaction in people, and it's important for all of us to make sure that doesn't end in restraint.\" Prof Kendall said trying to stop the practice sent an important signal about \"humanising and ethicising and professionalising\" mental health services in England. He added: \"For those trusts not changing things in a positive way, or worse [where] still things are not improving, they really need to take note of this. \"These are real human rights and ethical issues that they should be thinking about.\" The Victoria Derbyshire programme is broadcast on weekdays between 09:00 and 11:00 on BBC Two and the BBC News channel.",

Ware made the comments on social media after Michele posted a tweet about George Floyd's death. \"I apologise for my behaviour and for any pain which I have caused,\" Michele posted on Instagram on Wednesday. \"We can all grow and change and I have definitely used these past several months to reflect on my own shortcomings.\" Michele acknowledged she \"clearly acted in ways which hurt other people\". In a three-page statement, the US actress said: \"Whether it was my privileged position and perspective that caused me to be perceived as insensitive or inappropriate at times, or whether it was just my immaturity and me being unnecessarily difficult, I apologise for my behaviour.\" The actress, who played Rachel Barry on all six seasons of Glee, is currently expecting her first baby with husband Zandy Reich, and added she \"wanted to be a real role model\" for the child. The death of Mr Floyd in Minneapolis on 25 May while in police custody has prompted widespread protests and unrest in the US. Protests began after a video showed the 46-year-old African-American pinned to the ground by a white police officer kneeling on his neck. \"George Floyd did not deserve this,\" wrote Michele on 29 May. \"This was not an isolated incident and it must end. #BlackLivesMatter.\" Her tweet prompted a robust response from Ware, who accused Michele of conduct that had made her \"question a career in Hollywood\". \"Remember when you made my first television gig a living hell?!?!\" Ware wrote on Twitter. \"Cause I'll never forget.\" The actress went on to accuse Michele of stating publicly she would have defecated in Ware's wig had she had the opportunity. Ware played Jane Hayward in Glee's sixth and final season and has since been seen in Netflix series What/If. Another co-star, Amber Riley, appeared to acknowledge Ware's claims by posting a gif of herself drinking tea on Twitter. HelloFresh said they were \"disheartened and disappointed\" to learn of Ware's claims about Michele, who was paid to promote its services on social media. \"HelloFresh does not condone racism nor discrimination of any kind,\" it wrote on Twitter after another user questioned its association with the actress. In Michele's statement, she said she had \"never judged others by their background or colour of their skin\". Founded in 2011, HelloFresh is one of the largest meal-kit providers in the US and operates in a number of other countries. Earlier this year the German company announced plans to expand its UK workforce by 50% to cope with demand. Michele's other shows include Scream Queens and The Mayor.

It plans to replace the six-day-a-week service with a mobile library at the town three days a week. But a plan is now being considered to keep the library open with the help of volunteers. The existing librarian would travel to Tregaron three days a week rather than the mobile library being used. The council's cabinet decided to close libraries at Tregaron and New Quay and provide a mobile library van service in the two towns on 7 January. These cuts, along with reducing the number of the county's mobile libraries from five to four and axing two jobs, will save the local authority £146,000 next year. More than 100 people who attended a public meeting in Tregaron on Monday were told the town's librarian would be moved to work in Aberystwyth when the library closes. But Tregaron county councillor Catherine Hughes said: \"The meeting decided to ask council officers to consider the option of the librarian travelling to Tregaron three times a week instead of using a large mobile van. \"We believe this would not only keep the library open but be cheaper than using a large mobile library travelling to and from Tregaron three times a week. \"We also suggested that volunteers could man the library for the rest of the week. Volunteer service \"This idea is now open for discussion and council officers will get back to us with a response on the possibility of keeping the library open. \"The town's library is not only about books. The use of computers at the library is also very important in this rural area because the facility is based at the local high school. \"The school has a broadband facility which isn't available to many homes in the area.\" New Quay library is also threatened with closure. The town's county councillor, Gill Hopley, said that a volunteer service was also being considered by locals to run the library rather than have the service provided by a large mobile library. \"We will discuss options and costings with county council officers at the next town council meeting at the end of January,\" she said.

This mostly includes deaths in hospitals, with the overall total expected to be much higher when other deaths in the community are included. The department's daily update also says there have been outbreaks of coronavirus in 65 care homes. It further details there are 38 patients being treated in intensive care units across Northern Ireland for confirmed or suspected cases of the virus. While there are 618 Covid-19 patients in hospitals, 2,863 people have been discharged. Across the UK, 20,319 people have died in hospitals after a rise of 813 on the previous day. A further 52 deaths were confirmed in the Republic of Ireland on Saturday, bringing the country's total to 1,063. On Friday, the Stormont executive amended lockdown laws, providing updated guidance to the PSNI intended to slow the spread of the virus. On exercise, it says that a drive to a safe space or facility would be permitted under the regulations. However, “taking a long drive to a beach or resort where numbers of people may gather is unlikely to be regarded as reasonable\". The changes to the legislation have been published on the department of health website. Earlier this month, the PSNI said its legal advice was that any journey to a location to take exercise was a breach of the rules. But it was accused of misinterpreting the legislation. Commander's approval needed PSNI Assistant Chief Constable Alan Todd said: “We said in our statement earlier this week that greater clarity in the regulations would have undoubtedly made our job easier to police this current health crisis. “Therefore we welcome the announcement and the clarity that the change to the regulations will bring to the public and police officers alike.” He said a PSNI policy whereby officers have to seek a commander’s approval to issue any more penalty fines would remain in place until the changes “bedded in\". Figures released by the police revealed they have issued 358 fines since 30 March. The highest number have been in Belfast (89), followed by Derry and Strabane (52) and Newry, Mourne and Down (50).",

            "input": "By Ione WellsWestminster correspondent This year a lot of it focused on the economic recovery from Covid, and what will happen to support such as the furlough scheme. Because some things, like business rates and health, are devolved some announcements were for England-only. So what applies to Wales? Money in your pocket Figures from HMRC show that on 30 November 125,000 jobs in Wales were furloughed - protected under the UK government's Coronavirus Job Protection Scheme. By the end of December that had risen to 158,700 and provisional estimates from HMRC report that had increased to 178,000 by the end of January. That accounts for 14% of Welsh jobs. The furlough scheme is UK-wide, and the chancellor announced it will be extended until the end of September. The UK government will continue paying 80% of employees' wages for hours they cannot work but employers will be be asked to contribute 10% in July and 20% in August and September. Last year, the Welsh government criticised the chancellor for not extending the furlough scheme when Wales went into its firebreak lockdown. The chancellor also extended the £20 weekly increase to Universal Credit - introduced in response to the coronavirus pandemic in April 2020 - for another six months. Figures for January show there were around 280,000 people receiving Universal Credit in Wales then. Labour and some Conservative MPs, including Preseli Pembrokeshire MP Stephen Crabb, have been calling for the weekly increase to be extended for at least 12 months or more. Universal Credit decisions apply to claimants in Wales because it is a UK-wide benefit. Mr Sunak also outlined details of a new UK-wide payment for self-employed workers. He announced that a fourth Self-Employed Income Support Scheme will be available to claim from next month worth 80% of three months' average trading profits - up to £7,500 in total. When the scheme was launched it was based on tax returns for 2018-2019, but due to new data being available the Treasury says more newly self-employed people will now be eligible. What's happening to taxes? The chancellor extended the stamp duty holiday for property sales in England to June. But the equivalent tax - land transaction tax - is devolved in Wales so this will be a matter for the Welsh Government to decide. He announced no changes to rates of income tax, national insurance or VAT but froze income tax thresholds from 2022 to 2026. The personal income tax allowance is to be frozen at £12,570 and the higher rate income tax threshold is to stay at £50,270. Some taxes are devolved in Wales, but the chancellor is raising corporation tax - which applies in Wales - from its current level of 19% to 25% in April 2023. However, the rate will stay at 19% for about 1.5 million smaller companies in the UK with profits of less than £50,000. The reduced level of VAT for hospitality firms across the UK will remain at 5% until the end of September. An interim 12.5% rate will then apply for the following six months. Your local area There were a couple of announcements that might affect your local area. The Treasury announced a £150m UK-wide pot to help community groups take over their local struggling pubs, arts venues or sports clubs. It's being dubbed the \"Community Ownership Fund\", and will allow community groups to bid for up to £250,000 of matched-funding to help them buy local assets to run as community-owned businesses. Mr Sunak also announced £4.8m to pilot a hydrogen production centre in Holyhead in Anglesey, which would produce and distribute hydrogen made using renewable energy to use in HGVs. The Treasury said this hydrogen would be used to \"decarbonise high carbon-emitting transport\" as part of plans to reach net zero carbon emissions by 2050. The Budget also brought forward £58.7m of funding over the next five years for investment in three \"City and Growth Deals\", in Swansea Bay, north Wales and mid Wales. City and Growth Deals use funding from the Welsh Government, UK government and other organisations including businesses and universities to support regeneration projects and economic growth in areas such as agriculture, infrastructure, transport and technology. The chancellor also announced £30m in funding towards a rail testing complex in south Wales, located at the Nant Helen surface mine and Onllwyn coal washery at the head of the Dulais and Tawe valleys. The Welsh Government had estimated the project would cost about £150m, and the Treasury says it will \"match fund\" up to £30m, with the remainder coming from the Welsh Government and private sector investment. Tackling the virus The UK's Covid vaccination rollout will receive an extra £1.65bn in the Budget and the chancellor announced £22m of the programme's funding will be used in a trial to see if mixing different vaccine doses works. Wales will continue to get a proportional share of vaccines and the Welsh Government plans to offer all adults in Wales a first dose of the vaccine by 31 July 2021. Extra funding for Wales? Because some areas are devolved, any announcements around things like support for apprenticeships, culture, the NHS and business grants will be England-only. Rishi Sunak said that the majority of the measures he announced will apply to people \"in all four nations\" of the United Kingdom and that the Budget will result in an extra £740m for the Welsh Government. The money Welsh ministers will get to respond to Covid will be less from April, but there will be more to spend on the pandemic in the coming year than previously announced. On Tuesday the Welsh Government announced its final budget for the year and said it would spend an extra £1.1bn in the next financial year. That included an extra £224m for housing, schools and other infrastructure, £630m for health and social care and £200m set aside for businesses support.",

Her screen partnership with Rock Hudson is one of the best-known in the history of romantic movies. In a statement, the Doris Day Animal Foundation said she died on Monday at her home in Carmel Valley, California. It said she had been \"in excellent physical health for her age, until recently contracting a serious case of pneumonia\". \"She was surrounded by a few close friends as she passed,\" the statement continued. Born Doris Mary Ann Von Kappelhoff in April 1922, Day originally wanted to be a dancer but had to abandon her dream after breaking her right leg in a car accident. Instead she began her singing career at the age of 15. Her first hit, Sentimental Journey, would become a signature tune. Her films, which included Alfred Hitchcock's The Man Who Knew Too Much and That Touch of Mink, made her known around the world. But she never won an Oscar and was nominated only once, in 1960, for Pillow Talk, the first of her three romantic comedies with Hudson. Honours she did receive included the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2004 and a lifetime achievement Grammy in 2008. Her last release, the compilation album My Heart, went to number one in the UK in 2011. Day's wholesome, girl-next-door image was a popular part of her myth that sometimes invited ridicule. \"I've been around so long, I knew Doris Day before she was a virgin,\" the musician Oscar Levant once remarked. Day herself said her \"Miss Chastity Belt\" image was \"more make-believe than any film part [she] ever played.\" Her life was certainly not as sunny. She married four times, was divorced three times and was widowed once. She also suffered a mental breakdown and had severe financial trouble after one husband squandered her money. In the 1970s, she turned away from performing to focus her energies on her animal foundation. According to the organisation, she wished to have no funeral, memorial service or grave marker. Dick Van Dyke, another Hollywood legend from the same era although he never worked with Day, said she had an \"energy about her\". \"She wasn't trying to act. It was just who Doris Day was, I think, a great energy and exhilaration, and she seemed to love life, at least that's the impression you got,\" he told BBC Radio 4's PM programme. \"It was a great era.\" Star Trek actor William Shatner remembered Day on Twitter as \"the World's Sweetheart,\" saying she was \"beloved by all\". Fellow Star Trek cast member George Takei said she was \"synonymous with Hollywood icon\", while Spanish actor Antonio Banderas wrote: \"Thank you for your talent.\" Novelist Paulo Coelho marked her passing by quoting lyrics from Secret Love, one of her numbers in Calamity Jane. \"We've lost another great Hollywood talent,\" tweeted Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane, while actor Luke Evans said he had \"always loved\" her voice and \"beautiful\" songs. Former Beatles member Paul McCartney paid tribute to Day on his website, describing her as \"very funny lady who I shared many laughs with\", adding: \"I will miss her but will always remember her twinkling smile and infectious laugh\". And his daughter, fashion designer Stella McCartney, shared a photo of her and Day alongside words which read: \"The one, the only, the woman who inspired so much of what I do.\" Follow us on Facebook, on Twitter @BBCNewsEnts, or on Instagram at bbcnewsents.

His son, Mahad Ali Khan, said his father would \"look for the slightest of excuses to help those in need\". The trust said colleagues were \"devastated\" by his death. More than £32,000 has been donated to a fundraising appeal set up by friends to help his family. 'Humble and loyal' The father-of-three joined the trust in November and had been working at Dewsbury and District Hospital when he fell ill with the virus about a month ago. He was admitted to Bolton NHS Foundation Trust on 6 April, Mid Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust said. Mahad Ali Khan said: \"He dedicated his life to his family and profession. \"He was incredibly strong and we always turned to him for support as he was a shining light of guidance.\" He described his father as \"hard-working, compassionate, humble and loyal\". \"He always put his family and friends before himself and was extremely giving,\" he said. Martin Barkley, chief executive of Mid Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, said Dr Khan was \"a very well-liked and valued member of the team\" with colleagues having \"spoken of his incredibly positive nature and kindness\". \"He also showed fantastic leadership: he was absolutely dedicated to the well-being of the junior staff he was working with, and his thoughtfulness and considerate manner shone out to everyone who met him.\" Dr Khan's friend, consultant Dr Khalid Riaz, described how he was a mentor to junior doctors. He said his friend was \"treating coronavirus patients since this disease started and he was telling his colleagues not to be afraid of this disease and treat patients wholeheartedly\". \"He should be remembered for his sacrifice for his profession and for his carrying out his duty.

Scientists injected a genetically-modified virus into guinea pigs to turn part of their heart into a new, working pacemaker. The study was published in the journal Nature Biotechnology. A human heart is made up of billions of cells, but researchers say fewer than 10,000 are responsible for controlling the heartbeat. Age and disease can lead to problems such as the heart pumping too fast or too slow - and it can even stop completely, in what is known as a cardiac arrest. The solution is an implanted battery-powered pacemaker which will jolt the heart to keep it in line. Hearty solution Instead a team of researchers at the Cedars-Sinai Heart Institute tried to restore the heart's own ability to dictate the beat by creating new pacemaker cells. They used a virus to infect heart muscle cells with a gene, called Tbx18, which is normally active when pacemaker cells are formed during normal development in an embryo. When heart cells were infected with the virus they became smaller, thin and tapered as they acquired the \"distinctive features of pacemaker cells\", the report said. When the virus was injected into a region of the hearts of seven guinea pigs, five later had heartbeats which originated from their new pacemaker. One of the researchers Dr Hee Cheol Cho, from Cedars-Sinai, told the BBC he expected the same method to work in the human heart as they used a human gene, Tbx18, to generate the effect. However, far more animal testing would be needed before the technique would ever be considered in people. Dr Cho added: \"Electronic devices are limited to their finite battery life, requiring battery changes. \"Complications such as displacement, breakage, entanglement of the leads are not uncommon and could be catastrophic, the incidence of devices with bacterial infection keeps going up and, for paediatric patients, the device does not 'grow' with the patients. \"All these problems could be solved by a biological pacemaker.\" Prof Jeremy Pearson, the British Heart Foundation's associate medical director, said: \"The ability to turn ordinary heart cells into specialised pacemaker cells in this way is highly novel and scientifically fascinating. \"It opens up the tantalising possibility of using cell therapy to restore normal heart rhythm in people who would otherwise need electronic pacemakers. \"However, much more research now needs to be done to understand if these findings can help people with heart disease in the future.\"",

She said Sinn Féin warned the DUP to \"close the deal before those opposed to it could unpick\" it. DUP leader Arlene Foster said last week there was \"no current prospect\" of a deal to restore power sharing in Northern Ireland.

Roads were shut and rail services suspended by floods in north Wales and snow is forecast across Scotland. There are currently five flood warnings in place in the north west, which forced rail services to run at a reduced speed. More than 30 properties were pumped out and a number of people rescued from vehicles in parts of North Yorkshire. The Met Office said around 1.7in (4.3cm) of rain had fallen in 24 hours in parts of Lancashire, with United Utilities saying rainfall had reached \"unprecedented levels\". Lancaster University's weather station said it has recorded its highest ever rainfall total. In the 24 hours from 09:00 GMT Wednesday the station at Hazelrigg said 73.6mm of rain had fallen - the highest level in more than 50 years since the centre started weather observations. The levels were higher than Storm Desmond in December 2015 when about 5,200 homes were flooded in Cumbria and Lancashire and 42,000 homes in the Lancaster area lost power after an electricity sub-station flooded. Storm Desmond recorded 59.7mm of rain in a 24 hour period. One lane on the M6 motorway southbound remains closed, between junctions 35 and 36 but the A6 at Galgate has been reopened. Five hundred properties mainly in Blackpool, Thornton-Cleveleys and Poulton on the Fylde coast, are without power due to the weather, Electricity North West confirmed. Rail lines that were shut between Preston and Lancaster have reopened, according to Virgin Trains, and have now resumed normal service. A number of schools were shut for the day because of the weather, including Ellel Primary School in Galgate, Moor Park Primary School in Bispham, Royal Brook Primary in Thornton-Cleveleys and Cardinal Allen High School in Fleetwood. People had to abandon their cars and homes were flooded when the River Conder in Galgate burst its banks on Wednesday evening. Lancaster resident Maggie Wild, whose cellar was flooded, said: \"[I] came home and thought it is pretty high and it is still going to rain all night so I better start moving stuff out of the way. \"It just came in faster and faster... and there came a point when we were bucketing it out and we had pumps going on it.\" She said: \"It was bucket versus river and the river won.\" She added her cooker, washer, dishwasher boiler were \"all gone\". Student Henry Wilson from Galgate said water got up to the top of his thigh - reaching the third step of the stairs in his house. He said water started seeping in the front door… but then \"flew into the house\" once it got through the back door. \"We couldn't believe how quickly it happened.\" He said it felt like a film with \"furniture floating about\". Zak Burnell said the water was waist deep in Limerick Road, Bispham, Blackpool and residents used sandbags from the nearby roadworks. Electricity North West said the weather had caused \"intermittent power cuts\" in Preston and Ulverston. The Environment Agency said its staff had been on the ground overnight and will be checking flood defences. \"Our actions have protected more than 6,000 properties,\" said Sheena Engineer, national flood duty manager. Showers 'easing' Flooding has also affected the Devonshire Road area of Blackpool, which is currently a diversion route for traffic because the Promenade is shut while tram network extension work is under way. Devonshire Road is closed between Mansfield Road and Warley Road. The A583 in Kirkham was also closed in both directions between Ribby Road and Fox Lane Ends. Lancaster City Council tweeted it has teams in the worst-hit areas, clearing debris from roads and pavements. According to BBC Weather, blustery showers will ease off later and many places will have a dry night. In Wales, people were rescued from flooded vehicles in Bethesda, firefighters pumped out water from homes at Bethel and there have been landslips. Llangefni town centre was flooded by 3ft (90cm) of water overnight. North Wales Fire and Rescue Service said it took more than 250 flood-related calls overnight.",

Can someone ask me a question in proper English?\" Unthinkable, right? And yet in France more or less exactly that exchange was caught on camera between left-wing firebrand Jean-Luc Mélenchon and a hapless woman reporter from French regional TV. Her offence: having a strong southern twang. Regional accents in France have long been the victim of a patronising Parisian disdain. Those funny nasals from Marseille are great when accompanied by pastis and a game of boules. Some good comedy parts on TV, too. But woe betide anyone with a hint of the south in their voice who seeks promotion in broadcasting or national politics or the higher end of academia and the civil service - or even in telesales. Get ahead, speak Parisian If you want to communicate in France - and not just raise a laugh - then you conform to the norm, and that means speaking standard Paris bourgeois. There are plenty of online elocution classes to teach you how. But times are changing, and for the first time a pushback is underway on behalf of the estimated 30 million French citizens who speak with an accent. That's almost half France's population of 67 million. Under a private member's bill going before the National Assembly on Thursday, it will become an offence under the labour and penal codes to discriminate against an individual on the basis of accent. The French word for it is \"la glottophobie\". Why an accent can harm your career \"Having a regional accent in France means automatically that you're treated like a hick - amiable but fundamentally unserious,\" says the bill's sponsor Christophe Euzet, who is from Perpignan in French Catalonia. \"It is unimaginable in France that you could have someone with a southern accent - or a northern one for that matter - broadcasting commentary on Remembrance Day. Or discoursing on Middle Eastern politics. \"But it is also a political issue today. The yellow vest movement was a classic example of what happens when millions of people from the regions look at their representatives in Paris and feel they have nothing in common.\" But hang on. Isn't France's Prime Minister, Jean Castex, famous for being the first in the office to speak with an accent? And isn't that all about reconnecting with the people? \"Yes,\" says Euzet. \"But how long did it take Castex before he was taken seriously as a politician?\" How French accents differ France cannot boast quite the same diversity of accents as the UK. Centralisers from the Revolution on did their best to suppress regional languages first - like Occitan and Breton - then the accents that emerged from them. Schools were the first instrument of conformity, then mass media. The biggest family of accents is the southern one, marked, among other things, by pronunciation of the normally silent 'e' at the end of words, and the famous \"pang\" and \"vang\" for pain and vin (bread and wine). Other regional accents can be found in Corsica, eastern France, Alsace (influenced by German), Brittany and the north - influenced by the local dialect Ch'ti. In many rural areas of France, accents are preserved among older people but are heard less frequently among the young. There is also an identifiable banlieue accent, popular among people of immigrant origin and characterised by hard consonants and rapid-fire delivery. One myth is that the best French is spoken by the people of the Tours region in the Loire valley. Under the ancien régime, members of the court kept châteaux along the Loire, and brought with them the educated Paris vernacular.",

Much of the results data in the tables comes from these externally-marked tests. Children take these tests and teacher assessments in maths, reading and writing in Year 6, when they are aged 10 or 11. The figures in the tables relate to all local authority-maintained mainstream primary and middle schools. They do not include special schools, pupil referral units, hospital schools or private schools. Level 4 is the standard most children are expected to reach in their KS2 Sats tests in Year 6. Schools are said to be under-performing if fewer than 60% of their children reached Level 4 in maths and English, although the government says it will also take in to account progress being made. Pupils who gain Level 5 in both their maths and English Sats are considered to have exceeded expectations for their age. They will have reached the level of achievement expected of a 14-year-old - hence the term high-achieving pupils. The government also gives figures for the proportion of pupils in each school reaching Level 5 in maths and English separately. These can be found on the individual school pages published by the Department for Education (DfE). The value-added measure looks at how much progress pupils have made between the end of Key Stage 1 (infants) and the end of Key Stage 2 (juniors). A school's value-added score helps to identify schools that are helping their pupils make more or less progress than average. The higher the score, the more progress pupils are making. This is the number of average points per pupil in Sats tests in the two core subjects of English and maths. Although it does not appear as a separate column in the main tables, the BBC uses this as a tie-break measure where schools score the same results. It is also used as tie-break measures for BBC tables ranking the best and worst performing schools, the performance of local authorities and the schools where the most pupils attain Level 5. It includes the results of all pupils, not just those gaining Level 4, and is therefore a fuller measure of school attainment. The letters SS signify a small school, with fewer than six pupils eligible to take the tests. They are included in the alphabetical lists for completeness, but no results are published for them. If N/A appears in any of the results columns, it can mean a number of things. This includes the school being a new school with no eligible pupils or one with no pupils at the end of Key Stage 2. It can also mean results were not published for the year in question or that test results were unavailable for reasons beyond the school's control. It can also mean that there is a maladministration investigation under way or that parts of the tests were not completed or results submitted.

            "input": "Emmanuel Macron, 39, has promised to \"work for everyone\" and sees his programme as straddling both left and right. He has picked a centre-right prime minister and candidates from across the political spectrum to fight legislative elections in June for the party, now rebranded as La République en marche (Republic on the move). But once his government assumes its final shape, what does he intend to change and how will he achieve the national renewal he has promised? Reviving the economy Overhauling France's economy is vital to the Macron plan. Without significant advances, he will struggle to convince Germany of another big idea, for eurozone reform. Mr Macron's big challenges are: His twin aims are to boost investment and set up a \"new growth model\" that is both good for social mobility and the environment. Spend and save Some have described his plan to mix targeted public spending with fiscal discipline as a Nordic model. In the next five years he wants to make budget savings of €60bn (£51bn; $65bn), so that France sticks to the EU's government deficit limit of 3% of GDP (total output). Public servants would be cut in number by 120,000 - through natural wastage, possibly to soften opposition from France's powerful unions. He would simultaneously reinvest €50bn and create a separate €10bn fund for renewing industry. France's retirement age will remain at 62, but sweeping reforms are planned to the generous state pension schemes, to bring them into line with private schemes. Macronomy: What are Emmanuel Macron's economic plans? France: The economic challenge Reforming labour market Mr Macron would not scrap France's famed 35-hour work week: the 35 hours is now a threshold triggering overtime payment. Instead, he would try to introduce further flexibility around a basic legal framework of labour rights and rules, allowing firms to negotiate deals with their staff on hours and pay. Extra hours worked would be free of social security deductions. He has promised to help businesses by cutting corporation tax from 33% to 25%. But failing businesses would not be propped up, and the focus would be on training those made redundant. He wants to bring unemployment down to 7% by 2022 and extend unemployment benefits to groups not currently entitled, such as self-employed entrepreneurs and farmers. People's purchasing power would be boosted by a cut in social security contributions, worth about €500 annually for someone on a monthly net salary of €2,200. Europe Mr Macron is an unabashed Europhile and he walked on stage to give his first public speech as president-elect to Beethoven's Ode to Joy, the anthem of the European Union. His election was warmly welcomed in both Brussels and Berlin. Yet he has said candidly that reform is needed in Brussels as well as Paris if the pressing problems facing France are to be addressed. And this may set him on a collision course with Germany, because France and Germany have starkly different conceptions of its future. Put bluntly, while Germany favours a broad, expansionist union, France prefers a deeper, more integrated bloc. Mr Macron would give the eurozone a separate budget, finance minister and parliament of MEPs from the 19 countries that use the euro. He also wants more shared responsibility within the eurozone and believes Germany's big trade surplus has to be rebalanced. Both plans could cost Germany dear. In Brexit negotiations, Mr Macron will be keen that the UK has \"no undue advantages\" over the rest of Europe. He will demand that EU single market rules apply fully to all trade partners. He is also an open proponent of free trade deals like Ceta - the EU-Canada deal and he has spoken publicly of his desire to lure French expats home from the UK. Will Macron be good or bad for Brexit? Immigration Mr Macron would create a 5,000-strong force of EU border guards, make fluency in French the main qualification for obtaining French nationality and give all religious leaders comprehensive training in France's secular values. He wants refugees entitled to protection will be welcomed, and asylum claims to be settled within six months. But failed asylum seekers would be returned to their home countries immediately. Foreign relations Mr Macron supports multilateral institutions such as the UN Security Council, but also supports the promotion of the French language and Francophone institutions as \"an essential vector of our influence and a weapon against the spread of radicalism\". He is a critic of Russian policy and backs EU sanctions put in place after the Ukraine crisis. On Syria, he thinks President Bashar al-Assad should answer for his crimes before an international tribunal. On foreign aid, he would like to increase spending in Africa (raising overseas aid to the European target of 0.7% of gross national income) but wants to help countries stand on their own two feet in defence terms. Defence and security Amid an ongoing state of emergency in France following a string of attacks over the past two years, Mr Macron says he will reform police workloads and procedures, recruit 10,000 new police officers and expand prisons to house an extra 15,000 inmates. He would create an EU defence fund to promote joint military projects and set up a permanent European headquarters. He has also pledged to raise spending on defence to the Nato benchmark of 2% of GDP by 2025 and review military bases in Africa. Education In his manifesto, education is listed as top priority. In areas of special need - notably poor suburbs (banlieues) - he would limit class sizes in primary schools to 12 pupils per teacher. He would ban children's use of mobile phones at school, and introduce a \"Cultural Pass\" for 18-year-olds worth €500 to spend on cultural pursuits such as the cinema, theatre, and books. Political reform Mr Macron opposes MPs working as consultants or employing family members. He would cut the total number of parliamentary deputies and senators by about a third. Energy and the environment Mr Macron calls for half of food provided in school and work canteens to be organic or locally produced. He would promote France as a world leader in developing green technologies and wants to renovate one million poorly insulated homes.",

            "input": "The coalition said it wanted to support UN efforts for a political solution and help stop coronavirus spread, though no cases have been reported in Yemen. UN Secretary General António Guterres welcomed the move. But a senior official in the rebel Houthi movement, which is battling pro-government forces backed by the coalition, called it a \"ploy\". Hours after the coalition's ceasefire announcement on Wednesday night, both sides accused one another of having launched attacks. The five-year conflict has devastated Yemen, reportedly killed more than 100,000 people, and triggered what the UN considers the world's worst humanitarian crisis. What did the coalition say? Spokesman Col Turki al-Malki announced that the coalition would begin a ceasefire at midday local time (10:00 GMT) on Thursday because it was \"determined to create a conducive environment for the UN envoy's [peace] efforts, and to alleviate the suffering of the brotherly people of Yemen and support the efforts towards combating the spread of Covid-19 pandemic\". He added that the two-week period could be extended to \"allow for appropriate conditions\" for the warring parties to discuss the UN envoy's \"proposals on steps and mechanisms to implement a permanent ceasefire in Yemen\" and \"a comprehensive political solution in Yemen\". The UN secretary general and his envoy, Martin Griffiths, welcomed the initiative. \"I now call upon the government of Yemen and [the Houthis] to follow through on their commitment to immediately cease hostilities. I also call on the government and the Houthis to engage with each other, in good faith and without preconditions,\" Mr Guterres said. \"Only through dialogue will the parties be able to agree on a mechanism for sustaining a nationwide ceasefire, humanitarian and economic confidence-building measures to alleviate the suffering of the Yemeni people, and the resumption of the political process to reach a comprehensive settlement to end the conflict.\" A significant move This is Saudi Arabia's most significant move to try to find a way out of its costly military campaign in Yemen. The coalition statement suggests its unilateral ceasefire was sparked by the very real threat posed by the coronavirus in a country whose health system is barely functioning. But another wake-up call dates back to last September when the Kingdom's vital oil facilities came under fire in a spectacular attack blamed on Iran. Saudi Arabia shifted gear, embarking on secret talks with senior Houthi officials to secure their border, end Houthi missile strikes on its territory, and try to pull them away from Iran. But in recent months, Houthi forces have kept advancing militarily, encouraging more hawkish Houthi elements. Sources say senior Houthi leaders support a negotiated end to this war. But they're also digging in. Even if UN talks begin, it will be a long time before they end with the political solution Yemen desperately needs. How did the rebels respond? Mohammed al-Bukhaiti, a senior member of the Houthi movement's Political Bureau, told Al-Mayadeen TV before the ceasefire began that the rebels wanted \"a complete cessation of the war and the lifting of the siege once and for all\". \"If any ceasefire does not include the removal of the siege on Yemen, that would be the continuation of the Saudi war,\" he said, referring to the coalition's de facto blockade of rebel-held Yemen. \"The aggression's [coalition] move to announce a ceasefire was just another ploy,\" he added. Houthi spokesman Mohammed Abdulsalam tweeted that the rebels had sent the UN a comprehensive proposal that would \"lay the foundations for a political dialogue and a transitional period\". Houthi-run Al-Masirah TV reported that shortly after the ceasefire announcement the coalition warplanes struck several positions in Saada, Amran and Bayda provinces. Yemen's information minister meanwhile said that the Houthis launched missiles at Hudaydah and Marib. Why is there a war in Yemen? Yemen has been devastated by a conflict that escalated in March 2015, when the Houthis seized control of much of the west of the country and forced President Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi to flee abroad. Alarmed by the rise of a group they believed to be backed militarily by Iran, Saudi Arabia and eight other Arab states began a campaign aimed at restoring Mr Hadi's government. At the start of the war, Saudi officials forecast that it would last only a few weeks. But five years of military stalemate have followed. The UN has verified the deaths of at least 7,500 civilians, with most caused by coalition air strikes. But a monitoring group has estimated that the fighting has killed 112,000 people, including 12,600 civilians. The fighting and blockade have also triggered the world's worst humanitarian crisis. Some 24 million people - 80% of the population - need humanitarian assistance, and almost 10 million are considered \"one step away from famine\".",

            "input": "By Sue Lloyd RobertsBBC Newsnight On 30 December 2013, a park ranger on patrol in South Africa stumbled across the body of a two-tonne, 3m-long dead rhino. Its horn had been torn from its face and it had almost certainly died in slow agony. The ranger used his radio to contact the park HQ saying simply, \"Another one gone.\" They knew immediately what he meant. The death took the number of rhinos poached and killed for their horn last year to 1,004, a 50% increase over the previous year. The South African department of environmental affairs says 668 were killed in 2012. A decade ago, in 2003, only 22 rhinos were poached. If it continues at this rate, the African rhino could face extinction, according to Naomi Doak of the respected wildlife monitoring network, Traffic. \"We are going to reach the tipping point for rhinos,\" she says. \"By the end of 2014, we're starting to be in the negative in terms of deaths and poaching outstripping birth and the population will start to decline very quickly.\" Traditional Medicine Street in Hanoi bustles with street vendors balancing their wares on bicycles while dodging cars. People crowd on to the pavement to drink tea, smoke and play card games. It feels a world away from the vast plains of the South African veldt. But these two worlds are inextricably and, for the rhino, tragically connected. I am told it is the place to buy rhino horn in Hanoi, so I decide to see how easy it is. Journalists are closely monitored, though, in this one-party communist state, so my minder is never far away. It has been illegal to buy or sell rhino horn in Vietnam for eight years and the traders all shake their heads at my request to buy. \"It hasn't been sold in the street for a long time,\" says one. But when I return later - without my minder, and with a hidden camera - traders are happy to oblige. I claim to have a sick husband. One trader tells me that if I grind the horn in to powder and mix it with alcohol, it will cure his cancer. \"For the middle stage of cancer, it has a 85-to-90% success rate,\" he says. At $6,000 (£3,660) for 100g (3.5oz), it is more expensive than gold in Vietnam, at current prices. And yet, biologists say, the main component of the rhino horn is a material similar to the human finger nail. I go to another who claims he is a traditional medicine doctor and say I am looking for a hangover cure. \"You've come to the right place,\" says Mr Nguyen, and shoves a large piece of rhino horn in my hands. \"It cures fever and is good for removing poisons from the body which makes it a good remedy for hangovers.\" I have been warned that a lot of the horn sold on Traditional Medicine Street is fake and I ask Nguyen to reassure me. \"I went to South Africa myself,\" he says and shows me his hunting permit to shoot two rhinos in 2009. His wife accompanied him and he has a picture of his eight-year-old son standing beside an animal he shot and killed. He shows me documents, all stamped by the Convention on the International Trade in Endangered Species (Cites), which approve the export from South Africa and the import to Vietnam of a \"trophy horn\". He tells me all this makes the sale perfectly legal. But it is not. Most of the rhinos in the wild are found in South Africa where the black rhino is considered endangered and the white rhino remains in the threatened category. Nonetheless, rhino hunting is permitted under strict rules - fewer than 100 experienced hunters can apply for a permit every year to shoot just one rhino and they're legally required to keep the horn intact, as a trophy. The argument is that hunting encourages privately owned rhino parks and therefore adds to rhino numbers. Permits costing tens of thousands of dollars contribute to the local economy. In 2010, the last Javan rhino in Vietnam disappeared, a subspecies hunted to extinction. As the Javan rhino became scarcer at home, Vietnamese hunters started applying for South African permits. By 2010, there were more Vietnamese applying to shoot a rhino in South Africa than any other nationality. But, like Nguyen on Traditional Medicine Street, they were found to be abusing the system. Against the rules, they were importing the horns back to Vietnam and selling them. When South Africa banned Vietnamese hunters in 2012, organised crime syndicates took over who now employ poachers to supply the market for horn in Vietnam and other Asian countries, including China. Vietnam became a signatory to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species 20 years ago. The Cites secretariat has been urging the Vietnamese government for some years to tighten the laws and penalties against those selling horns. They were expected to have new laws in place in time for a conference on illegal wildlife trading being held in London this week. I asked Do Quang Tung, who is charged with getting his government to comply with Cites demands, why it is taking so long? \"Well, in order to prepare any regulation or law, you can't just make it in one year, it takes time you know,\" he says, The trouble is, the wildlife experts say there is no time. Mary Rice, executive director of the Environmental Investigation Agency warns: \"What we are witnessing right now is the wholesale slaughter of a species, being poached to supply what is ultimately a growing and unsustainable market in Vietnam - and elsewhere. The international community should urgently focus its attentions on pursuing and convicting the criminals behind the organised networks perpetrating the trade.\" Follow @BBCNewsMagazine on Twitter and on Facebook",

Meanwhile, the Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) said its UK appeal had raised £23m in its first 48 hours. Typhoon Haiyan, which hit on Friday, killed at least 2,300 people and displaced more than half a million. HMS Illustrious is currently in the Gulf and is expected to arrive in the Philippines on 24 November. The carrier will relieve destroyer HMS Daring, which is already on its way to the country and should arrive on Friday. 'Absolute tragedy' Mr Cameron said helicopters from HMS Illustrious would be used to take food and water to people stranded in remote parts of the Philippines, which is made up of more than 7,000 islands. The carrier, which currently has 900 crew and seven helicopters, has equipment to provide water suitable for drinking, which Mr Cameron said was badly needed. \"What happened in the Philippines is an absolute tragedy,\" he said. \"You can see the devastation, the suffering, and it's quite clear that we are going to need long-term help for those people.\" The Royal Navy said almost all of its ships carried supplies and equipment for use in such emergencies and added its crews were trained for dealing with humanitarian disasters. HMS Daring has more than 200 personnel on board including a doctor, a dentist, engineers and a chaplain. It is also carrying members of the Royal Marines band who, as a secondary role, are trained first aiders. The ship holds 700 ration packs, can provide more than 20,000 litres of water, and has other equipment including generators and thermal-imaging cameras. The UK is also sending aid to the Philippines by air. The first flight arrived at 16:00 GMT on Tuesday. A specialist cargo aircraft loaded with equipment to speed up the offloading of relief supplies at airfields and help with rubble clearance was also deployed. A team of 12 medical experts from the UK, requested by the Philippines Department of Health, has also flown to the country. Secretary of State for International Development, Justine Greening, said Britain was \"helping thousands of people in desperate need\". Elsewhere, the Ministry of Defence said it would be deploying a Royal Air Force C-17 military transport aircraft in the early hours of Friday morning. 'Remarkable' support A huge international aid effort is under way, but widespread infrastructure damage is hampering efforts to distribute it to some areas. A US aircraft carrier and other US vessels have already arrived in the Philippines, where the UN estimates 11 million people have been affected by the typhoon. The DEC, which brings together 14 major UK charities, launched its appeal on Monday and said the response from the public had been \"remarkable\". DEC chief executive Saleh Saeed said: \"This has already become one of our most generously-supported appeals but there is still a huge humanitarian need for help.\" Paul Jenkins, of the British Red Cross, one of the DEC's members, said: \"We are so amazed that the generosity of the British public - in very difficult times for everybody - is still there.\" He said the priority was to get \"goods and supplies\" to those most in need as quickly as possible. Planes carrying British Red Cross aid have started landing in the Philippines following early difficulties due to the damage done by the storm, Mr Jenkins added. Justin Forsyth, chief executive of Save the Children, said: \"These are extraordinary figures, and this allows us to get aid right into the heart of this catastrophe. \"Aid is beginning to get through even in the worst affected areas. Save the Children has landed a plane today in Cebu and all the Disasters Emergency Committee agencies are there trying to do their best, but we need to get more aid in and very quickly.\" British couple Andrea Agarwal and Trevor Holmes, who own a dive centre in the island of Malapascua, have been helping with the aid effort. They were not on the island at the time the typhoon hit but said their bar and restaurant was destroyed. They have been co-ordinating aid efforts from the island of Cebu, 360 miles south of Manila. \"We have started a fund for donation and we managed to raise around 30,000,\" said Ms Agarwal. \"The island is relatively small, with about 7,000 people.

Andy Gomarsall, who played in two World Cups for England, thinks it is hard for newcomers to compete with the funding. He told BBC 5 live that there needs to be a better balance of the money, \"When England play to a full house at Twickenham, the expense, the money they make - it doesn't sit well with current and former players that you could be playing Fiji, who are struggling to pay the bills just to get players to the game,\" he told the Wake Up To Money Business of Sport programme. \"It just seems extraordinary that in this day and age this could ever be a possibility.\" Rugby has a rich pool to pick new host nations from and, according to Deloitte, a potential television reach of four billion. Mick Hogan, executive director of Newcastle Falcons, says: \"None of this exists without money and with World Rugby 85% of the money generates comes from the World Cup, and you have to have big games and big showpiece events that fund the game. \"What we should be doing is looking longer term and not looking at how much money we need to pay the bills next year. How do we get a tier one nation to actually go and play in Fiji, Tonga or Samoa? It just never, ever happens.\" One method of promoting the sport in new rugby playing areas includes World Rugby's Beyond Legacy programme, which is aiming to grow broadcast audiences for rugby in Asia, and to get one million new Asian players participating in rugby by 2020. They aim to do this through schemes such as holding rugby lessons in Japanese schools in the host cities of the World Cup and investing in the growth of local teams. Japan pulled off a shock victory over Ireland in their World Cup Pool A game, defeating them 19-12. Su Carty, who sits on the World Rugby council and the committee of the Irish Rugby Football Union, reflected on the defeat, saying: \"It was a tough day for the Irish, but an amazing day for Japan and an incredible day for the tournament. \"You want teams like Japan coming through and making a statement on the world stage. Their day in the sun isn't done, and they'll be committed to build on that great day against us.\" In a major change, this year also marks the first time an Asian nation has ever hosted the World Cup, and there is speculation that the United States could bid for the 2027 World Cup, which would be the first time it has ever been hosted in North America. Mr Hogan added: \"It proves the value that bringing major tournaments to new areas can do. It really can ignite a passion for the sport in that area - and hopefully we see that in the legacy in five, 10, 20 years' time in Japan and Asia.\" Hosting the Rugby World Cup could also be a wise investment for a nation new to the sport - with EY estimating that the six-week tournament could bring in £1.5bn to Japan's economy and support 25,000 jobs across the 12 cities hosting matches. Japan has also invested 40bn yen (£290m) on infrastructure. This has included boosting transport links between the cities, and enhancing the stadiums and team camps with the aim of using them for Japan's growing domestic rugby scene after the World Cup has ended. Developing the domestic rugby scene is an important step, especially for Japan as it seeks to capitalise on its continued success. According to Statista, Japan has almost 3,000 recognised clubs with 95,000 active players. Akira Shimazu, head of Japan's rugby organising committee, said that the tournament was \"on track to deliver a significant economic legacy for our nation\". Japan's continued success could lay the framework for other nations in future tournaments - and with the support of the top tier nations, the Rugby World Cup finals could start seeing other teams making their way to the semi-finals and finals of the World Cup.",

It plans to fill the vacated posts with up to 150 serving police officers. By law police officers serve the crown and cannot be made redundant, but they can be redeployed, the force said. 'Critical roles' \"We don't like it, they [Warwickshire Police Federation] don't like it, I don't think the public will like it, but at the end of the day we have no option,\" Ian Francis, the chairman of Warwickshire Police Authority, said. The force currently has 921 police posts. In December 2010 it had 868 civilian support staff roles too. Mr Francis said there were too many police officers in Warwickshire for the new model of policing which was being implemented across the force. Police officers are not employed, instead they are crown appointed warrant holders and cannot be made redundant. He said the only positions the surplus officers could be moved into were those currently held by civilian support staff. \"Much of what is currently thought of as back room is actually critical and what I would call front-line duties,\" he added. 'Stark reality' Mr Francis said front-line redeployment would be carried out in other forces across England and Wales too, especially where police forces had announced massive job cuts. He said: \"The simple matter is yes we are going to lose policemen from the frontline.\" Warwickshire Police Federation chairman Simon Payne said: \"This is the stark reality of what cuts mean, which is we haven't got enough money to pay for the number of police we currently have in Warwickshire.\" \"The [government] is conning the public if they say when police numbers fall, crime won't increase. \"You only have to look at what rank and file officers have achieved in Warwickshire in the past five years. There is a stark reduction in crime levels and a direct correlation in the areas with the highest numbers of police.\" Mr Francis said savings had to be made over four years, but he was only sure about police funding for the first two years. \"We have an indication of what this [funding] will be in years three and four but I am mindful of the fact of course that an election is coming up then, so will we go down the path as far as we expect? I don't know at the moment.\" Previously Warwickshire's chief constable Keith Bristow said that reorganising the force would make it more efficient and give officers a more visible presence on the streets. 'Opportunities limited' In a statement issued to police officers and staff at Warwickshire Police, he said: \"Whilst the force manage the required reduction in police officers it has been agreed that some will be temporarily posted into police staff posts which are currently vacant or which will be left vacant following voluntary redundancy. \"Opportunities for individuals either currently or in the future at risk will therefore be limited over the next few years.\" The coalition government has insisted that front-line police jobs can be protected, in spite of the savings they require police forces to make. The Home Office said police forces should focus on driving out wasteful spending and increase efficiency in the back office to protect the front line. \"The Government will play its part by working with them to ensure that the savings of over £1bn a year identified by Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary are delivered,\" a spokesman said. \"There is no simple relationship between numbers of police and the level of crime. \"Despite officer numbers reaching record levels, according to Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary only 11% are visible and available to the public at any one time. \"What really matters is how effectively officers are deployed.\"",

Last week, nearly 900,000 people filed new claims for jobless benefits - the highest number since August. Analysts have called for aid to prevent the economic recovery from stalling. But politicians in Washington have been at odds over a deal for months, with talks in recent weeks overshadowed by the upcoming presidential election and disputes over the Supreme Court. \"The sobering reality is that it appears further help may not be coming from elected officials in Washington,\" said Mark Hamrick, senior economic analyst at Bankrate.com. Stimulus relief This spring, as the pandemic cast more than 20 million Americans out of work, the US government approved more than $3tn (£2.3tn) in relief money. The aid included cheques of up to $1,200 for most individuals and money to temporarily boost unemployment benefits by an extra $600 per week. The massive spending wave initially blunted the economic upheaval caused by the virus, prompting poverty rates to decline. But those figures began to tick up again this summer, as the one-time financial boost from the cheques wore off and the expansion to unemployment benefits expired at the end of July. As of September, the poverty rate stood at 16.7%, up from 15.3% in February and 14.3% in May, with higher rates among children and minorities, according to calculations by researchers at Columbia University. A separate analysis by researchers at the University of Chicago and Notre Dame estimated the poverty rate at 10.1% in September, up from the 11% seen in February and 9.3% in May. The increase is in line with rising poverty rates around the world due to the pandemic. The World Bank this month warned that extreme poverty was set to rise for the first time in more than two decades. 'It has been an extremely difficult time' Until the pandemic, 49-year-old Latacha Barnett worked as a substitute teacher in Louisville, Kentucky during the school year and at a hair salon in the summer. The virus eliminated both lines of work. For two months this spring, she received unemployment payments. But those stopped in June, at the end of the school year, forcing her to dip into savings she had hoped to one day put toward a buying a house, stop her internet service and go to food banks for groceries for herself for the first time. Ms Barnett, who is the primary earner for her three children and two grandchildren, exhausted her savings last month. \"I just didn't expect it to go on as long as it has,\" she says. \"It's been an extremely difficult time for us. I'm behind on everything.\" Ms Barnett finally started a new job this month as a family advocate - one she took despite the possible health risks. She says the people she's really worried about are those who can't get new jobs and don't have savings to see them through. \"I honestly think it's been horrible that no more has been done,\" she says. In the US, President Donald Trump has celebrated that the economy has so far rebounded faster than many analysts initially expected. But while the US has regained about half the jobs lost in March and April, many economists do not expect the labour market to fully recover before the end of 2023 - and they warn that momentum appears to be slowing. Thursday's Labor Department report showed an unexpected 53,000 increase in unemployment filings from the week before, sending new claims to a two-month high. More than 25 million people continued to collect some form of unemployment payment as of 26 September, the Labor Department said. Wells Fargo economist Sarah House said the report showed \"the risk of the labour market's recovery going into reverse\". Democrats in May approved more than $3tn in additional spending, but Republicans in the Senate have balked at the sums and White House efforts to broker a compromise have so far failed. On Thursday, Mr Trump said he was willing to agree to more spending, but Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, who has been leading negotiations on behalf of the president, said a deal would be difficult before the November presidential election. Mitch McConnell, who leads Republicans in the Senate, said Congress would approve more aid, if not before the election then after. But he warned that his members continue to favour more limited, targeted relief.",

Pupils from England, Wales and Northern Ireland were offered the chance to redo part or all of their GCSE English after complaining they had been downgraded. Meanwhile an alliance of heads' and teachers' unions is submitting a legal challenge to the High Court next week. Exam boards said they were offering the English resits free of charge to schools as a response to strength of feeling on the issue. The AQA board, which has the largest market share for English GCSE, said in an earlier statement that it had \"followed the correct procedures and awarded the right grades\" but understood students' disappointment. Brian Lightman, general secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders (ASCL), said: \"We know that thousands of students who sat the exam in June and got a D grade achieved the same level of work as their fellow students who took the exams in January and received a C. \"It is only because of when they took the exam that they are being penalised and told to resit the exam. This is completely unfair. Rather than telling these students to try again, their work should be marked to the same standard as if they took the exam in January.\" Legal action An alliance of heads and teachers' unions is continuing to press for June's papers to be regraded in line with the January C-grade boundaries. In its pre-action letter, the alliance said pupils who took GCSE English in June had been treated with \"conspicuous unfairness\". A spokesman for the alliance said that following a meeting of legal representatives on Wednesday, it had been decided a claim for a judicial review would be put forward next week. \"We have now thoroughly examined the case that we have and we are convinced of the merits of our case, and the expectation that we will have a success to get the outcome we want - which is a regrade for students,\" he said. \"We will be putting our claim together and submitting it over the next week.\" Exams watchdog Ofqual conducted an inquiry into the fiasco, which concluded that January's GCSE English assessments were \"graded generously\" but the June boundaries were properly set and candidates' work properly graded. The regulator insisted it would be inappropriate for either of the sets of exams to be regraded and students would be given an extra chance to resit the GCSE in November. \"We have responded to the pre-action letter and are rigorously defending our decisions,\" Ofqual said in an earlier statement. In Wales, Education Minister Leighton Andrews ordered the WJEC exam board to regrade Welsh students' English papers. As a result, nearly 2,400 Welsh pupils who took English with the exam board received better results.",

            "input": "By Dave LeeTechnology reporter, BBC News The devices, from LG and Samsung, suggest renewed attempts to create a smartwatch that is perhaps more fashionable than previous efforts. Samsung's Gear S features a curved screen, while LG's G Watch R has a more classic watch design. Apple is rumoured to be preparing to launch its device next month. Technology news site Recode has said the smartwatch - dubbed iWatch by Apple's fans and some of the press - will debut on 9 September. However, in typically tight-lipped fashion, Apple has yet to confirm its plans. The company has sent out invites to a launch event, but did not share any clues about what would be on show. Furthermore, analyst Benedict Evans noted that a lack of leaks showing a design for the watch might suggest production had not yet started. Other sources, including the Wall Street Journal, also anticipate the unveiling of a 12.9in iPad. Killer design Other brands have been keen to set out their wares. Smartwatches are expected to be a major focus of the forthcoming IFA conference. The Berlin-based show is considered to be the European equivalent to the bigger Consumer Electronics Show (CES) held at the start of the year in Las Vegas. At last year's IFA, Samsung launched its first smartwatch, the Galaxy Gear, and has since gone on to launch five more. The surge of products was a sign, one analyst told the BBC, that the company was throwing everything it had into getting ahead. \"Samsung are deliberately trying to do something different,\" said Ben Wood, from CCS Insight, drawing attention to the latest model's curved screen. \"We're in an era of experimentation - no-one really knows what the killer design for a smartwatch is. \"Samsung's playing their strengths because they have curved screen technology in their portfolio. \"It does look very edgy in terms of design. Ergonomically, a curved screen makes a lot of sense around your wrist.\" The Gear S uses Samsung's own operating system - Tizen - rather than Google's Android platform. The watch also has space for a SIM card, meaning it can be used as a stand-alone device - other smartwatches are typically paired with a user's smartphone in order to receive information. 'Fashion statement' Yet while Samsung does have a lead in the smartwatch market, it is certainly not a commanding one. One reason for this, Mr Wood suggested, could be because the devices - from Samsung and others - are not seen as being particularly fashionable. \"They've got to look nice to be attractive to the mass market,\" he said. \"A clunky piece of gadget bling is not really what the whole world wants. \"Watches are first and foremost a fashion statement, it says something about you as a person.\" Motorola drew plaudits earlier this year when it announced its Moto 360 smartwatch, which had a distinctive trait - it was round. LG's G Watch R follows that line of design, adding more traditional aspects including analogue-style hands to display the time. It is powered by Android Wear, Google's adapted operating system for wearable devices. More details about both Samsung's and LG's watches - such as release dates and pricing - are expected at IFA next week. Follow Dave Lee on Twitter @DaveLeeBBC",

On the runway he boarded Air Force One with his wife, Melania, and the plane took off at 16:12. He is due to meet with Russian president Vladimir Putin in Helsinki on Monday. Earlier he played a final round of golf at the resort on the Ayrshire coast amid tight security. Despite the high police presence, on Friday evening a protester managed to paraglide over Turnberry. Police Scotland said a 55-year-old man has been arrested and charged in connection with the incident. He is expected to appear at Ayr Sheriff Court on Monday. Mr Trump has been staying at Turnberry during the private leg of his four-day UK visit. He was heckled by protesters as he played golf on Saturday afternoon after they gathered around the perimeter of the resort. He waved as they heckled him from a hill overlooking the Ailsa championship course. In Edinburgh thousands of people marched through the city in a demonstration against the president's controversial visit to the UK. They waved placards as they gathered in the capital's Meadows, where two giant nappy-clad baby Trump balloons were inflated. In a tweet on Saturday, Mr Trump said he was at Turnberry \"for two days of meetings, calls and hopefully some golf\". \"The weather is beautiful and this place is incredible,\" he added. \"Tomorrow I go to Helsinki for a Monday meeting with Vladimir Putin.\" There have been calls for Monday's meeting between the US and Russian presidents to be cancelled, after the US charged 12 Russian intelligence officers with election interference. But White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders has said the meeting will go ahead as planned in Helsinki. And Mr Trump used Twitter to criticise the administration of his predecessor Barack Obama over alleged Russian hacking to help him win the 2016 presidential election. \"Why didn't they do something about it?\" he tweeted, adding that Mr Obama had been told about it before the vote. Police estimated that about 9,000 people took part in the march through Edinburgh, which they said \"passed without incident\". They gathered at the Scottish Parliament, before walking to the city's meadows area for a \"carnival of resistance\". At Turnberry, protesters climbed a hill near the golf course to ensure the president could see their placards and banners. As he took to the golf course with his son, Eric, they branded him a \"racist\", shouting: \"No Trump, no KKK, no racist USA.\" The president and his wife Melania arrived in Scotland on board Air Force One on Friday evening, before travelling by motorcade to the Trump Turnberry resort - one of two Scottish golf courses he owns. There is a massive security operation in place at the complex on the Ayrshire coast but shortly after he arrived a paraglider flew over the area with a sign claiming Mr Trump was \"well below par\". It comes after the president spent Friday meeting both Theresa May and the Queen on what is Mr Trump's first visit to the UK as president. Supporters of Mr Trump gathered in London on Saturday, the day after an estimated 100,000-plus rallied through London in opposition to the US president.",

            "input": "By Steffan MessengerBBC Wales Environment Correspondent It calls on health officials to carry out an assessment of the impact and support available in Rhondda Cynon Taf. Flood warning drills and setting up a \"community flood ambassadors\" network are also recommended. In response to the report, Cwm Taf Morgannwg health board said support for those affected was being provided. The Welsh Government also said 25 flood alleviation schemes had taken place across the Rhondda Cynon Taf (RCT) area at a cost of £1.9m. This is in addition to £1.6m in funding to the area to carry out repair works to drainage, culverts and other measures. Plaid Cymru is calling for an independent public inquiry. The report, written by Pontypridd MP Alex Davies-Jones and member of the Senedd Mick Antoniw, calls for flood emergency drills to be carried out to check areas are protected. Mr Antoniw said February saw the \"worst flooding anyone could remember\". \"As winter approaches, there is now considerable fear as to what the future holds,\" he explained. \"We're very concerned that in conjunction with the Covid experience people have had a double whammy of trauma - there really is a need now to assess the mental wellbeing of communities.\" The report was based on meetings with agencies who responded to the flooding, as well as ministers and residents. 'Anxious whenever it rains' Rhodri and Jess Garland say they are now anxious every time it rains around their home, in Egypt Street, Treforest. With a three-year-old son and another baby on the way in March, the couple \"just want to know we're safe - how do we know it's not going to happen again, like it did in February?\". Work to renovate their ruined home has pushed the family into debt as their insurance cover did not include storm or flood damage. \"We had to replace everything - the kitchen, living room furniture - even the front door,\" Mrs Garland explained. \"There are some things we're never going to get back - our wedding certificate has mud all over it and our photos have been damaged.\" Mr Garland said they felt \"forgotten\" by the Welsh Government, and a £1,000 grant given in the aftermath of the flooding \"hasn't scratched the surface\". \"It's put a great strain on us and if it wasn't for our local community, the rugby club I play for, our work - if it wasn't for their help in cushioning the blow we would have been in a much worse financial state,\" he added. \"We do have a lot of anxiety now - how am I supposed to work when I have flood alerts coming up on my phone every time it rains?\" Mr Antoniw said children and the elderly had been particularly affected, and he urged the local health board to investigate the extent to which counselling is available. The report also recommends the Welsh Government provides a fund to help homeowners who would otherwise struggle to afford to put in their own defences such as flood gates and doors. A network of flood ambassadors should be set up in all affected communities to play \"a central role in ensuring community-readiness is maintained\" - including access to local stocks of sandbags, it said. And there should be a periodic flood warning drill carried out by Natural Resources Wales and the emergency services. The idea is partly to provide reassurance to residents that all procedures are working as required. Record rainfall Storms Ciara, Dennis and Jorge in early 2020 led to record rainfall and river flows across Wales and the most widespread flooding seen since 1979. In Rhondda Cynon Taf alone almost 1,500 homes and businesses were affected, with people forced to leave their homes. Sara Moseley, director of mental health charity Mind Cymru, said the floods had been \"terrifying\" and it was natural for people to feel afraid or anxious. But she said people had had their homes and livelihoods \"wiped out\" by firstly the floods, and then the coronavirus pandemic, and the impact of the double trauma was extremely worrying. She said the report highlighted a close link between living in challenging circumstances and mental health, and equality needed to be \"driven up\". \"What we're looking for is really strong communities where people understand what's happening, they have hope and we're investing in every aspect of life,\" she said. Dr Kelechi Nnoaham, director of Public Health at Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board, said support was available for those affected by flooding and coronavirus, and urged people to contact their GP. \"We are aware of the potential for significant detrimental effect on public health and wellbeing of the flooding which occurred across our communities earlier this year,\" he said. \"This is potentially compounded by the challenges of Covid, and the losses being experienced in those same communities.\" Plaid Cymru's Rhondda MS Leanne Wood said the failure to support an independent public inquiry into the floods was a \"glaring omission\" from the report. A Welsh Government spokesman added: \"Our recent national Flood and Coastal Risk Management Strategy also outlines we believe property flood resilience (PFR) measures are better employed at community scale, rather than providing schemes direct to homeowners, many of whom may not choose to apply - this also ensures the right properties receive measures. \"However, we encourage all Risk Management Authorities (RMAs) to consider PFR measures where they are an appropriate option.\"",

H&M blamed it on time logging issues, while Welcome Break said they had an IT problem. So, here's some guidance on what to do if you think your employer isn't paying enough... Step One: Firstly, find out if you are actually being underpaid. You can do this by contacting free services including the Pay and Work Rights Helpline or ACAS. They will help you work it out. Then you need to decide if you want to have that conversation with your boss yourself. \"It can be nerve wracking to raise these issues internally\" says Mike Cain who's an employment solicitor from Slater & Gordon. \"But if you're mistreated or sacked as a result of raising a minimum wage issue, there is legal protection for you. The law is on your side.\" Step Two: Next, decide if you want to make an official complaint. If you do, you need to go to HM Revenue & Customs (again you can do this through the Pay and Work Rights Helpline.) They will investigate your claim and, ultimately, enforce the law by fining your employers and forcing them to pay up. HMRC will ask you to give them all the evidence you have to prove you're not being paid the minimum wage. Step Three: You will have to decide at this point whether you want to be named in the complaint or not. \"It's a bit easier to win if you are willing to be named\" says Paul Sellers, a minimum wage expert for the TUC which campaigns for a fair deal at work. If you're named then you can give the HMRC a personal statement and they can confront your employer with that. Otherwise they're going to have to collect evidence themselves.\" What happens next? If you win, the firm will be fined and you'll get the money owed to you. \"But if your employer still doesn't pay up\" explains Paul Sellers. \"HMRC will take them to an employment tribunal. This won't be at your expense, they will be pursued by the government.\" Or, you can pay for an employment solicitor and take a case yourself. This can be expensive though. If you join a Trade Union at work - they might take your case on for you and try to negotiate with your boss. One last thing: Your employer isn't allowed to take money out of your wages for things such as uniform, food or travel. \"The general rule is if you don't have any choice over the issue about the food you eat at work or how you get there or what you wear, things like boots or overalls, this isn't allowed to be deducted,\" says Paul Sellers from the TUC. If this happens to you go to your nearest Citizens Advice Bureau for free guidance. Follow @BBCNewsbeat on Twitter, BBCNewsbeat on Instagram and Radio1Newsbeat on YouTube",

            "input": "The ex-Worcestershire player assaulted the victim at his Worcester flat after she had consensual sex with his then teammate Joe Clarke on 1 April 2017. Prosecutors at Worcester Crown Court said Hepburn \"dehumanised\" women, rating them in text messages. Hepburn, 23, who was cleared of another count of rape, will be sentenced at Hereford Crown Court on 30 April. Jurors deliberated for 10 hours and 53 minutes before delivering a unanimous verdict of guilty on one count of oral rape. Hepburn sighed and then slumped into his seat, covered his face with his hands and sobbed after the verdict was returned by the foreman. Bailing Hepburn, Judge Jim Tindal said: \"There is only one sentence that can properly be handed down in this case, and a custodial sentence is inevitable.\" Prosecutors described how the cricketer \"took advantage\" of the woman. Sexual conquest competition She woke up and wrongly believed she was having sex with Mr Clarke, before realising it was actually Hepburn, jurors heard. The jury was shown a video interview in which the complainant said she woke to find a man who she thought was Mr Clarke straddling her. She told police that after 10 minutes of sexual activity with Hepburn, he spoke in a \"thick\" Australian accent and she realised he was not Mr Clarke. Giving evidence during his retrial, Hepburn said: \"She was engaging in the act so I presumed she was enjoying it.\" Jurors were told Mr Clarke left his bedroom to be sick in a bathroom, where he passed out, leaving the woman asleep on a mattress in his room. Asked when the woman is alleged to have realised she was not with Mr Clarke, Mr Hepburn added: \"She said 'what are you doing?' \"I was confused. It was no different to a normal sexual encounter.\" 'Stark reminder' On Wednesday, Hepburn admitted he had sent \"disgusting, horrible and embarrassing\" WhatsApp messages while setting the rules of a sexual conquest competition. He also admitted the conquest \"game\" led to him sleeping with 20 women during a similar competition in 2016. Prosecutor Ms Miranda Moore QC said earlier in the retrial: \"A sleeping girl cannot consent. She would not have countenanced sexual activity with Hepburn. \"He would have known she was with his mate. She was in Joe's bed, not his. On the evidence, his bed was empty.\" Worcestershire County Cricket Club (WCCC) said it was \"appalled\" by the details in the case, while the the Professional Cricketers' Association (PCA) said the case served as a \"stark reminder\" of the standards it expects. Det Chief Insp Ian Wall of West Mercia Police said: \"We welcome the conviction and I hope it will offer some comfort to the victim, who has shown great courage and strength in coming forward. \"At the time of the offence Hepburn was in a position of trust and power as a professional sportsman...and I hope this conviction will provide reassurance to other victims of sexual offences.\" Follow BBC West Midlands on Facebook, on Twitter, and sign up for local news updates direct to your phone.",

            "input": "By Bethan BellBBC News The two events were separated by 20 years. On 28 September 1918, Pte Tandey earned the Victoria Cross \"for most conspicuous bravery and initiative\" at the fifth Battle of Ypres. Twenty years later, Hitler himself is said to have planted the seeds of the legend during a visit to the Fuhrer by British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain, in his doomed attempt to secure \"peace for our time\". He apparently seized on the fact that along with many of his fellow soldiers, Pte Tandey had tempered justice with mercy, refusing to kill unarmed, injured men in cold blood. The leader of the Third Reich claimed he was one of those spared. At his Bavarian retreat the Berghof, Chamberlain noticed a picture on the wall of Hitler's study, depicting a scene from a battle at Menin crossroads in 1914. The soldier in the foreground was apparently Pte Tandey, carrying a fellow soldier to safety. Hitler told Chamberlain the soldier had pointed a gun at him but spared him. \"That man came so near to killing me that I thought I should never see Germany again,\" Hitler is alleged to have said. \"Providence saved me from such devilish accurate fire as those English boys were aiming at us.\" The museum of the Green Howards - Pte Tandey's regiment, which commissioned the painting in 1923 from Italian war artist Fortunino Matania - confirmed a copy was hanging at Hitler's retreat. The museum has a letter from Hitler's adjutant, Capt Fritz Weidemann, thanking them: \"The Fuehrer is naturally very interested in things connected with his own war experiences. He was obviously moved when I showed him the picture.\" The painting's route to Hitler's wall was fairly convoluted, centring on one of his staff, a Dr Otto Schwend, who had received a postcard of the painting from a British soldier whom he had befriended in WW1. Hitler had apparently claimed to recognise in it a soldier he met in 1918, but the painting depicts a battle that actually took place in 1914. Dr David Johnson, Pte Tandey's biographer, throws more doubt on the story. He pointed out that even if the date were accurate it would have been unlikely for Pte Tandey to have been recognisable from the painting. He had been injured during the 1918 battle, and in contrast to the painting, would have been \"extremely dishevelled and covered in mud and blood\". Perhaps even more compellingly, Dr Johnson argues there was no way Pte Tandey and L/Cpl Hitler could have crossed paths. On 17 September, Hitler's unit had been moved about 50 miles (80km) north of Pte Tandey's, which was in Marcoing, near Cambrai in northern France. The meeting of the men was supposed to have happened on 28 September 1918, but papers at the Bavarian State Archive show Hitler had been on leave between 25 September and 27 September. \"This means that Hitler was either on leave or returning from leave at the time or with his regiment 50 miles north of Marcoing,\" Dr Johnson said. He also said it was not likely that Hitler had been simply confused. \"It's likely he chose that date because he knew Tandey had become one of the most decorated soldiers in the war,\" said Dr Johnson. \"If he was going to have his life spared by a British soldier, who better than a famous war hero who had won a Victoria Cross, Military Medal and a Distinguished Conduct Medal in a matter of weeks? \"With his god-like self-perception, the story added to his own myth - that he had been spared for something greater, that he was somehow \"chosen\". His story embellished his reputation nicely.\" It was another detail that also set alarm bells ringing, Dr Johnson said. No telephone On returning to Britain, Mr Chamberlain is alleged to have phoned Pte Tandey to pass on details of the exchange he had with Hitler. He was out at the time, so a nephew apparently took the call. Dr Johnson is highly sceptical the call was made, not least because Mr Chamberlain was a very busy man. \"I can't see him spending time tracking down and telephoning a Private,\" he said. \"He also sent long and detailed letters to his sisters and kept diaries. Nowhere in his papers was the Tandey affair mentioned.\" British Telecom archives add more doubt - Pte Tandey did not have a telephone. But the story has persisted, having probably first come to light at a regimental event in 1938 where, Dr Johnson said, Pte Tandey was told by an officer who had heard it from Mr Chamberlain. \"We don't know whether Tandey was taken to one side and told privately - or whether it was a jocular part of an after-dinner speech, or something like that,\" he said. Pte Tandey himself was noncommittal about it. He acknowledged he had spared soldiers on 28 September, and was initially prepared to entertain the idea - but always made a point of saying he needed more information to confirm it. He was quoted in an August 1939 edition of the Coventry Herald as saying: \"According to them, I've met Adolf Hitler. \"Maybe they're right but I can't remember him.\" But a year later, he appeared to be more certain, when a journalist approached him outside his bombed Coventry home, asking him about his alleged encounter with Hitler. \"If only I had known what he would turn out to be,\" Pte Tandey is quoted as saying. \"When I saw all the people and women and children he had killed and wounded I was sorry to God I let him go.\" The newspapers seemed to say it all: \"Nothing Henry did that night could ease his sickening sense of guilt.\" \"It was a stigma that Tandey lived with until his death\" \"He could have stopped this. He could have changed the course of history\" However, there is no evidence, not even anecdotal, he was either hounded or avoided after the claims. 'Extremely dishevelled' \"It must be remembered that this was a low point for the country and for Coventry, and Henry can be excused for feeling a little sorry for himself and emotional after the sights he had witnessed,\" Dr Johnson said. \"We must not forget that in 1918, no-one knew who Hitler was. Why would Henry remember and regret that specific encounter, especially when Hitler would also have been extremely dishevelled and covered in mud and blood, not looking like he did 20 years later. \"It might be equally true that the journalist concerned took Henry's comments out of context, which might go some way to explaining his distrust of the press.\"",

            "input": "Dave LeeNorth America technology reporter The disagreement is over how Uber's drivers are hired by the company. Uber considers them contractors: they work when they want, for as long as they want. Drivers must pay for their cars, fuel, maintenance - everything. The alternative - and the one successfully argued in the case - is that Uber drivers should actually be employees. This could mean a heap of benefits: cars provided, holiday pay, perhaps even health insurance. On the face of it, that sounds like a better deal for drivers. But is it what they want? Sit and wait Just down the road from San Francisco's international airport is what can only be described as a holding pen for Uber drivers. When I visited this week, the car park - which can hold more than 100 cars - was so full they had to close the road leading up to it. Drivers were livid. They're not allowed to wait anywhere else. They certainly can't sit in the taxi rank or they'll get a fine - the driver pays, of course, not Uber. Those lucky (!) enough to be in the holding pen were in a long queue. Each time a request was made, a car was dispatched. Some had been there for over an hour, they said, with a suspicion that the queue system was broken. Uber driving is very much a solo pursuit. Unlike cabbies, who have ranks around towns and cities, Uber drivers are normally found cruising around for the next fare. So the holding pen is one of the few places they get to socialise with each other. Clock in, clock out Uber's defence in the employee/contractor debate is that its workforce is pretty diverse. Some want to work part-time, others full-time. Some want to work intensely for a few weeks, then take a few weeks off. It's on their own terms, and Uber says only a contractor set-up makes this possible. And the vast majority of drivers I spoke to agreed. Passionately. \"If we were employees we'd have to have a boss,\" said Kirk, a full-time Uber driver for over a year. \"We'd have to clock in, clock out for breaks. It's not a viable solution for what we do. \"You essentially run a small business, but without the overhead of a brick-and-mortar business.\" Overhearing our conversation was Nate, who has been an Uber driver for two months, as is his wife, who drove off as I was arriving to go and pick up a passenger. The hours go far more quickly when you're calling your own shots, Nate said. Driver power There's more than one exception to the positivity, though, and it's the drivers who've had more than two years on the job who are more keen on the idea of being an employee. One man - who didn't want to be named as even his family are unaware of his worry - told me that he feels trapped in Uber, caught in a spiral he's not sure how to control. Like many drivers, he took up Uber's offer of a loan to get a new car. That was in October last year, and it already has 80,000 miles on the clock. The money for the car is deducted automatically from his earnings each week. It's about $1,000 (£655) a month. It's crippling him - so he works more hours, over 12 a day, putting even more strain on the car. \"I would prefer to be an employee with pay and benefits,\" he said. \"And they could help me look after the car.\" The financing plan runs for five years - and he's sure the car won't last that long. New tyres every four months. A new set of brakes. It's all going on credit, and he's running out of options. \"And then Uber drops its rates.\" Recently, Uber offered a special deal for trips that went to the East Bay - the stretch of land east of San Francisco, over the water, that includes major cities such as Oakland and Berkeley. For a limited time, rides to this area were 25% off. It enraged many drivers for whom a trip from the airport to Berkeley (and perhaps back again) is ordinarily a terrific earner - the difference between an average day and a great one. 'Working crazy' Every driver said they felt they needed better representation, a system that could perhaps give drivers more of a say on how and when to reduce fares. One man, Napoleon, said some drivers could do with support when they feel they have got unfair ratings or other issues that affect their ability to pick up jobs. And every driver said that as Uber was getting more popular, it was getting harder and harder to earn a living. \"It used to be 10 hours a day,\" said Nang, from Myanmar, who started Uber driving just over two years ago when she was studying. \"Now I have to work 16 or 17 hours. It's exhausting. I'm thinking of quitting next year. I'm working crazy - seven days. \"They are hiring so many people. I don't know where to go. I was in downtown for one hour and I didn't get a customer. Sometimes [at the airport] I wait two hours.\" Uber's rapid growth Nobody I spoke to said they were considering getting involved in the lawsuit. Most wouldn't be eligible - Uber thinks only about 15,000 of its 160,000 drivers could qualify - but even if they were, there's little suggestion that many would follow it up. Being independent for the overwhelming majority of Uber drivers in that blustery car park was what made them sign up in the first place. But the pressures of covering all the costs, while prices for rides get lower and lower, and more and more Uber cars compete for jobs - it's keeping some drivers awake at night.

New titles include Minions Paradise, based on the characters from the Despicable Me movie franchise. The press conference, which also featured a guest appearance from football legend Pele, a costumed superhero zombie from popular title Plants versus Zombies and a man called Hoop Gawd who was called to the stage to give a demonstration of the face scanning used in NBA Live 16, received a mixed reception. Keza MacDonald from gaming site Kotaku said it was \"not the most exciting\", while Steven Burns from Videogamer described it as \"one of the most bizarre conferences I've seen in a long time\". \"It would have been [a disaster] if it weren't for the Battlefront footage looking absolutely superb,\" he wrote.

Researchers say the UK has a \"major problem\" with such deaths, with rises also in England and Northern Ireland. The Welsh Assembly Government said it was too early to say whether the rise reflected an emerging trend. Heroin and morphine were involved in more than half of the deaths across the UK, while there was a reduction in deaths from cocaine, amphetamines and ecstasy-type drugs. The figures were based on information provided by coroners to the International Centre for Drugs Policy. Drugs-related deaths in Scotland remained broadly the same, while deaths in Wales, England and Northern Ireland all rose. Professor Hamid Ghodse, director of the International Centre for Drug Policy (ICDP) at St George's Hospital, London, said the continuing rise was \"very concerning\". \"The effectiveness of both drug abuse prevention and treatment is reflected in the mortality data, so we know we still have a major problem,\" he said. \"An immediate impact in reducing drug-related deaths could be achieved by improving the availability of effective treatment and rehabilitation services.\" Detoxification beds Darren Millar, chair of the Welsh assembly health, wellbeing and local government committee, said: \"It's too many: these figures are very alarming and shows an increasing trend that needs to be addressed. \"For some time experts have been warning we need more residential detoxification beds. \"People are waiting for up to 12 months to get access to these beds and they can very often continue to self harm and, in some cases, unfortunately overdose. \"We have got to be able to offer a bed very quickly as any delay can allow them to lapse in their frame of mind. Mr Millar said that at the moment, drugs users from Wales were sent to rehabilitation centres in England, which is a \"very expensive\" option. \"There are some excellent service providers in Wales which could be expanded if the cash was there,\" he said. \"If you invest up front it saves lives.\" Ifor Glyn, director of the Swansea Drugs Project, said: \"Just one death is too much. \"Heroin is definitely the main drug that is presented to agencies across Wales. \"What we should be seeing is a wide variety of treatment options. Sending people from their communities is not always the answer.\" An assembly government spokesman said: \"Each of these deaths is a personal tragedy for the individuals and their family and friends. \"It is too early to say whether the 2009 figures represent an emerging trend of a higher rate of increase in drug-related deaths in Wales. \"We are investing in prevention and education to stop people becoming hooked on alcohol or drugs in the first place, and are also investing in treatment and rehabilitation for those who are dependent upon drugs. \"An extra £5.9m has been added to the Substance Misuse Action Fund this year, bringing the total budget supporting the substance misuse strategy to £52.6m this year.\"",

            "input": "By Richard ScottTransport correspondent, BBC News Railway insiders also warned of \"severe overcrowding\" on trains. Billions of pounds must be saved from the transport budget as part of the the 20 October spending review, Transport Secretary Philip Hammond insists. Rail users had to share the burden of dealing with the deficit, he said. \"We have a huge fiscal deficit to deal with, we have to get to grips with this problem, we're all in it together, we're all going to have to share in the pain,\" the Transport Secretary, Philip Hammond told BBC News. \"There is no group that is going to be able to avoid some of the consequences of the reductions in public spending that are necessary to deal with the deficit.\" Rising fares The government's transport budget is £15.9bn. The Treasury has asked for two scenarios as part of the spending review - a budget cut of 25% or £4bn, and 40% or £6.4bn. One way to help make those cuts would be to increase fares. This would save the government money because of the way the railways are paid for. Currently, roughly half is paid by the taxpayer, the other half by the fare payer. So if fares go up, taxpayers have to pay less. Changes ahead At the moment, most season tickets and long distance off peak fares are limited to rising by July's RPI inflation figure plus 1%. That would mean a rise of 5.8% in January. But it is a pretty sure bet that the government will scrap that arrangement, and fares will rise much faster. \"I'm concerned that fares could rise up to 10%, that some fares might not have any limit imposed on them at all,\" said the chair of the Transport Select Committee, Louise Ellman. \"People might find that peak hours of travel are changed so that they can't use cheap tickets in the way they used to.\" Old trains In addition to higher fares, plans for 2,000 new carriages across the rail network are on hold. That means big delays for both replacement trains and extra capacity. Much of the rolling stock is already old, with some carriages using slam doors rather than electrically operated ones, and trains at times having covered more than five million miles. This can cause passengers problems, as they sometimes do not understand how to open them. One railway worker said she had to help a distressed older passenger leave the train, because he did not realise he had to lower the window and turn the handle from the outside to get off. Angry travellers As we come out of the economic downturn, the Association of Train Operating Companies expects demand for rail travel to grow by around a quarter over the next five years. That means a double whammy for passengers - paying more to be less comfortable. \"I think it's absolutely ridiculous,\" said Paul Fontaine, a commuter travelling to Paddington station in London. \"Why should I be paying for a ticket where I can't even sit down? They wouldn't treat animals like this.\" Charlotte Bracey agreed. \"A lot of my wage goes on train anyway,\" she said. \"I pay as much on trains as I do on rent.\"",

            "input": "As the number of deaths passes one million, we take a look at some of the landmarks along the way. 9 January 2020 - First reported death January was a big month for news - it saw the US assassinate an important Iranian general, rampant wildfires in Australia and the death of basketball great Kobe Bryant in a helicopter crash. We didn't know it at the time, but the biggest story emerged from China, which the BBC first reported as a cluster of cases of a \"mysterious viral pneumonia\" in the city of Wuhan. On 11 January, China reported its first confirmed death from the virus - a 61-year-old male resident of the city. Chinese scientists identified the illness as a type of coronavirus, which cause different diseases from the common cold to more severe ones like Sars (severe acute respiratory syndrome). There were early signs of the kind of response that would later be commonplace around the world - the outbreak prompted Singapore and Hong Kong to bring in screening processes for travellers from Wuhan. There were also fears the virus could spread rapidly as hundreds of millions of people in China prepared to travel around the country for Chinese New Year. But it was still unclear how the illness was transmitted, with health officials saying no cases of human-to-human transmission had been confirmed. At that point, the World Health Organization (WHO) said it was aware of the outbreak, it was in contact with the Chinese government and it was closely monitoring the event. 28 January 2020 - 100 deaths By the end of the month, the toll had passed 100, with infections rising fast. It spread beyond Wuhan, both into other parts of China and to at least 16 countries around the world. Some nations began to send planes to Wuhan to evacuate citizens. Meanwhile, the US urged its nationals to \"reconsider travel\" to China. Wuhan and its province Hubei were already effectively in lockdown, with strict transport restrictions in and out of the area. Wearing masks in public was also, by now, mandatory in some Chinese cities. A 50-year-old man, who had travelled to Wuhan, became the first person in the capital Beijing to die with the virus. Health officials determined that the virus had emerged from illegally traded wildlife at a seafood market in Wuhan and said it could indeed spread between people. The Chinese authorities said the virus was able to spread during its incubation period and before any symptoms appeared like a normal flu, making it harder to contain. The outbreak was declared a global emergency by the WHO on 30 January. 10 February 2020 - 1,000 deaths Just two weeks later the toll reached 1,000. More and more countries were starting to see their first cases, but much of the world's attention was still focused on China. We reported that the virus had claimed the lives of 97 people in one single day there, in what was then the highest number of casualties in a day at the time. In one day in April the US reported nearly 2,000 fatalities. At the time, the WHO said the number of new cases in China was \"stabilising\" - but warned it was too early to say whether the virus had peaked. It sent an international mission to China to help co-ordinate a response to the outbreak. By now, the virus had spread to at least 27 other countries and territories, but so far there were only two deaths outside of mainland China, in the Philippines and Hong Kong. Meanwhile, by late February, hundreds of passengers had tested positive for the virus on the Diamond Princess cruise ship quarantined in Japan, one of many cruise ships that became Covid hotspots. A British man who had been on board the ship became the first UK national to die with the virus. At about the same time the coronavirus was given an official name, Covid-19. 20 March - 10,000 deaths As the number of deaths from the virus around the world passed 10,000, concerns turned to Europe. The continent at that point accounted for about half of the deaths worldwide. The death toll in Italy - the worst affected country at the time in terms of reported fatalities - reached a total of 4,032. A nationwide lockdown had been imposed there earlier in the month. Meanwhile, China reported no new domestic cases for the second consecutive day. The number of confirmed cases around the world was at about 250,000 at this point, with more than 80,000 people said to have recovered. On 19 March UK PM Boris Johnson said he believed the UK could \"turn the tide\" against the outbreak within the next 12 weeks. A nationwide lockdown was imposed on 24 March, when the UK death toll had reached 335. 9 April - 100,000 deaths By now, the world looked like a very different place from what it did three months earlier and the global death toll stood at 100,000. President Donald Trump warned the US could see as many as 100,000 deaths itself, but denied that his administration had acted too slowly. By 10 April, New York had more cases than any individual country. By late September, the US death toll would be more than 200,000. Meanwhile, Europe prepared to spend the Easter weekend under lockdown. Boris Johnson, who tested positive for the virus the previous month, came out of intensive care on 9 April. The number of deaths in the UK had reached nearly 9,000, with more than 70,000 confirmed cases, with London said to be the \"epicentre\" of the pandemic in the country. 29 June - 500,000 deaths As the pandemic gathered pace, a new milestone of 500,000 deaths was reached. At the same time, lockdown restrictions were eased in some parts of the world, and people in the northern hemisphere turned their attention to how they would spend their summer. The EU said it would reopen its borders to citizens from various countries from 1 July, including Australia and Canada - but not the US. At that point, half the world's cases had been recorded in the US and Europe, but Covid-19 was rapidly growing in the Americas. The virus was also affecting South Asia and Africa, where it was not expected to peak until the end of July. The WHO warned that the worst could be yet to come and urged governments to implement the right policies. 28 September - One million deaths On Monday, the world reached one million recorded deaths from Covid-19. The US, Brazil and India now make up nearly half of the total, according to Johns Hopkins University. However, the death toll is thought to be far higher as many cases may not have been officially reported. In June, BBC analysis of death records in 27 countries found another 130,000 deaths that had not featured in the daily headline figures. So what can we expect in the future? We are seeing just over 5,000 recorded coronavirus deaths a day around the world at the moment, says the BBC's head of statistics, Robert Cuffe. If that pace continues, we can expect the daily count to pass two million in just over six months, he adds. Health authorities have learnt a great deal about the virus since the beginning of the pandemic, but officials say the rise in deaths is set to continue. \"We see no sign of slowing of the death rate,\" Nancy Baxter, an epidemiologist and head of Melbourne's School of Population and Global Health, told the BBC. \"There's been over a thousand deaths per day worldwide since 18 March and what seems to happen is as Covid-19 becomes controlled in one jurisdiction it gets out of control elsewhere. \"So I think that unfortunately we are looking at a similar number of deaths before a vaccine is actually found and distributed.\"",

Both are yet to announce their policies. What should be the main issues of the election? Have your say. Mr. Rajapakse is a popular leader. But mere popularity is not enough to solve the issues faced by the country. He is yet to spell out his policies on key issues. Further, entering into an alliance with JVP is bound to keep him tied down when it comes to making key decisions. Sri Lanka needs fixed policies on key areas (i.e education, economy,foreign policy,security etc.)which do not change with a change in government. What we lack the most is decipline at all levels of the society. This should be fixed first.Mohamed Halim, Manama, Bahrain I think Of the two, Mr.Wickramasinghe has better vision for the country. On the other hand, the PM has not clearly mentioned his stance on one of the key issues - the ethnic issue. Mr.Rajapakse's approach seem to be of getting everybody's support by not providing a clear policy. I personally hope & pray that the people of this country will not tolorate ambiguity when selecting apresident. If so we will continue to be the same.Prasanan, Colombo, Sri Lanka Our beautiful country can be saved only by a leader who is capable of making decisions on his own, and not a one who is greedy for power like a unfaithful greedy dog goes behind other people for aid to win the election (because he or she cannot do it by their self), this itself shows the lack of confidence of the leader and lack of trust our people have for him. Our country cannot be saved as long as racists such as JVP and Jathika Hela Urumaya are allowed to operate and corrupt the minds of our people and ruin our country.Nihal, Kandy, Sri Lanka The election of Mahinda or Ranil to govern the country is like asking Murali to face Brett Lee & Magrath in the first 15 overs instead of Sanath. Both will miserably fail in the onslaught from LTTE as both of them does not have the hunger in the belly for the good of the country. Ranil is such a puppet that I could control him with my TV remote.Suresh Mirando, Sydney, Australia What Sri Lanka need is a strong leader who understand the difference between ethnic issue faced by minorities and the terrorist issue perpetuated by the LTTE and its leader Prabaharan. As long as the future president is unable to clearly distinguish between the two and project this reality to the world hopes for a prosperous sri Lanka remains grim.Tharindra Ranasinghe, Houston, USA Mahinda has done nothing to the country as a Senior Minister for 10 yrs and as PM for 1 1/2 yrs.He has no vision, no policy, Now all of a sudden he wants to talk directly to Prabakaran. What was he doing for the last 11 yrs? Ranil has a vision, his policies are clear. A good decision maker.Ahamed Hussain, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia The P-TOMS, CFA, and peace process should be considered on top of the list. There are so many Tsunami victims in the North & East are still waiting for the foreign aid. Both Sinhala presidential candidates should put aside their politics and try to help those in need. It has been already 8-months and neither politicians seems to care about those minorities. Mahinda Rajapakse's close ties with JVP is not promissing for those want to see peace in Sri Lanka. JVP already wants to scrap P-TOMS and CFA.Siva Nathan, Toronto, Canada It's better to choose a known devil than an unknown angel. Hopefully Mahinda might become President in case if the JVP support him irrespective of his claim that he will be talking to H.E. Pirabakaran to end the conflict. Or else Ranil might lead but none of them will get the 51% of the vote to become EXECUTIVE President.Abdul Rahuman, Colombo, Sri Lanka The policy should be based on the resolving the terrorist problem in the north and development of the country as a whole. It was clear there were less development during past few decades owing to the war in north and east. There should be a settlement with dignity for the peace loving people of Sri Lanka and not the facist LTTE. LTTE cannot build north and east because of their autocratic and facist ideology. There should be an economic development based on self reliance and we can follow the Indian and Chinese trading systems.This is the final chance to Sri Lankns to select whether to stand up as a nation and defeat LTTE terrorists.Shanthan Welayuthan, Wembley, United Kingdom Both leaders are curupted and neither of them have clear vision to get the whole nation out of the trouble.both fellows are making their own strategies to be crowned as president.the ethnic issue is a political football for opportunistic politicians.it is very unlikely that either Ranil or Mahinda would address burning problems of the people, rather they would be playing around with peaple's votes near election time and enjoy themself when the elections are faraway.Sugath Senevirathne, Hounslow, UK Right now, only one visionary leader in Sri Lanka is Mr. Prabaharan. Tamils don't want to waste their time, sharing the country and resources with Sinhalese as they [Sinhalese] are only good at destroying the country, not building it. Let Tamils go their own way and Sinhalese fight themselves.Prem Sivasamy, London, UK The economy is in the first place.Rest of the problums will automaticaly go away with the economic growth.Jagath, Colombo, Sri Lanka Will the UNP actually field Ranil for the Presidency against Mahinda? I won't believe this until Nomination Papers are handed over. Ranil has absolutely no chance in a Presidential Race against Mahinda Rajapakse. Mahinda will win by a massive margin.Aruna Wickramatunga, Colombo, Sri Lanka The country needs a strong leader with a vision. SL still got hope we shouldn't give up! (1)Let's hope for a leader who can settle the war. I do not call this an Ethnic problem since we Sri Lanknans be it Tamil, Sinhalese or Muslims lived and will be living cohesively. It just a misunderstanding that has grown. I guess direct talks with parties in concern (may be two leaders) could settle the differences.(both parties will have to forget & forgive and start fresh. After all we are fiting with another set of Srilankans and not bunch of invaders. 2) Let's hope for a Leader who will have a vision to build the economy Both canditates got potential, yet who comes out with clear statements on these two should be given preference.Namal Abhayawickrama, Indonesia I think Hon. Ranil will be more experienced Than Prime Minister Rajapakse. People gave a mandate for Hon. Ranil for five years which was unfairly taken back by the Sandanya Regime. Therefore he deserve and should be given a chance a president. Also the fact that Prime Minister will have a pact with JVP the chances of negotiated settlement with LTTE will become remote.Navrooze Rawoof, Colombo, Sri Lanka Speaking as a Tamil born and bred in the UK, and as a son of a Tamil Doctor forced to move to England due to the transparent preferential treatment of the Sinhalese at the time, I would say that the ethnic struggle has been the biggest cause of contention in SL for the last 50 years. The ethnic struggles that have made the largest progress in recent history have always had the least corrupt, most forthright leaders at their hub, people like Gandhi, JFK and Mandela to name but a few. I'd see Ranil Wickramasinghe as the best of a bad bunch as I feel it is time for a change, the current presidents favourite (Rajapakse) will undoubtedly be as untransparent and single-minded as Chandrika herself and will therefore not present much hope for the future of a country that has such greatness in its potential.Sean Jehan, London, UK If one of them becom the president and the other one stay as PM,would be great. I mean for the future of the country. We need a uncorrupted National government.Rizmy Mueen, Opfikon, Switzerland Ranil's stand on the ethnic issue is crystal clear.His economic reforms are also solid. On the other hand the Prime Minister has been unable to put forward a coherent set of proposals to solve the ethnic problem.He also lacks contemporary economic reforms.Suranjith Fernando, Edinburgh, UK The stand on the ethnic problem, the economy, the law and order situation including violations by party MPs and their children.Dhammika W, Colombo, Sri Lanka Both of them are not strong leaders and they will not resolve countrys ethnic problem. It is impossible to build a strong economy without resolving this issue. It will be like one step forward and two step backward.Shan Mylvagaman, London, UK It is very ridiculous that, there is one main issue to be addressed on this ellection!every thing has became a very major issue in sri lanka now but the biggest issue is , most of us not seen those . every body talking about only the ethnic crisis... which only one of thousands...! the issues are not valid with SL politicians , that will not do what they say....simply say ... sri lanka needs just a leader who can lead us .. and i dont see anyboy in SL now or another 20 years time .. but till we get \" THE PRINCE OF DIYASEN\" atleast we should have a someboy to keep the mother land unsell... for that definitely RANIL is not the man.Indika Shirantha, Shanghai, China",

Pancreatic cancer has the lowest rates of survival, for men and women. The estimates are based on cancer diagnoses in England from 2012-16. Sarah Caul, head of cancer analysis at the ONS, said this was the first time it had looked at five-year survival rates based on what stage the disease was at when diagnosed. \"This research shows a mixed picture but does stress the need for awareness and early diagnosis,\" she said. Late-stage drop Among women diagnosed with breast cancer, the most common cancer in women, 90% will survive for a year unless they are diagnosed at stage 4, when the figure drops to 66%. In men with prostate cancer, survival rates a year after diagnosis are very nearly 100% for stages 1-3, dropping to 87.6% for stage-4 diagnosis. However, five-year survival rates for both cancers fall away more steeply if diagnosis was made at stage 3 or later. For stage 1-4 diagnoses, skin cancer (melanoma) has the highest one-year survival rate, of 97.4% for men and 98.6% for women, and pancreatic cancer has the lowest, at 23.7% and 25.3%. And 10-year survival rates are highest for skin cancer and lowest for lung cancer - for both men and women. Most lung cancers are diagnosed at a late stage, probably because symptoms tend not to appear until the cancer is more developed. European comparison Overall, data shows cancer survival in England has been improving steadily since 2006. But the rates are still lower than similar countries in Europe and around the world, recent studies suggest. The differences in survival are thought to be down to lower numbers of cases being diagnosed early in England. Cancer survival figures are also published by the Northern Ireland Cancer Registry, the Scottish Cancer Registry and the Welsh Cancer Intelligence and Surveillance Unit. 'More equipment' Ruth Thorlby, assistant director of policy at think tank the Health Foundation, said improving cancer survival figures reflected sustained investment over the past two decades. But she said more had to be done if the prime minister's plan to improve survival through earlier diagnosis was to be achieved. She said it would require \"capital investment for additional diagnostic equipment, such as MRI and CT scanners, significant increases in the cancer workforce to diagnose, treat and support cancer patients, and help for staff to improve complex services and get the most out of new advances in cancer care\".",

            "input": "By Justin HarperBusiness reporter, BBC News, Singapore I was the hero in my very own spy story, speeding from one checkpoint to another to foil the bad guys. The plot came from a running app called Running Stories, which casts you as a secret agent in a story playing out with a heart-thumping soundtrack. It is one of the latest apps designed to make exercise more entertaining, using real-time data that integrates the plot with your surroundings. Key events in the storyline are triggered when a runner passes specific GPS markers and landmarks. From being shot at by snipers to racing to catch a speedboat along the river, the plot kept me engaged and burned plenty of calories. Despite the scorching sun, I managed to complete the mission, save the day and fight the flab. These new breed of apps are designed to motivate those who don't normally enjoy running while encouraging new runners to take up the sport. For seasoned runners they offer the chance to add in short sprints to get the heart rate up during your exercise. \"It gets you to explore new routes by using real-time data that turns your run into a story. It's like Hollywood, Silicon Valley and your personal coach had a baby,\" says Joakim Borgstrom, creative lead for the app. Running Stories is being piloted in Singapore with plans to roll it out in cities around the world. \"We want to make the app available as an open source platform so that writers and creators can devise their own stories. \"There are also plans to incorporate more real-time data like weather conditions and the runner's heart rate to enrich the experience,\" Mr Borgstrom adds. And if horror movies are more your thing, imagine being chased by zombies. Originally released in 2012, the Zombies, Run! app, developed by British studio Six to Start, has been downloaded almost 10 million times and half a million people run with it every month, according to the company, More Technology of Business Its biggest market is the US, followed by the UK, Canada and Australia. \"The idea came from two places - I'd always wanted to make running more fun, and I was convinced that an audio-only game would be a perfect fit for an activity where you can't look at your phone,\" says founder Adrian Hon. Six to Start is now moving beyond zombies and adding science-fiction, historical and romance stories, Mr Hon told the BBC. During the pandemic and the associated lockdowns, some fitness companies saw sales skyrocket, including exercise-bike firm Peloton. But will such trends last? \"We believe the shift to at-home fitness has been under way for some time, just as you've seen films shift from the cinema into the home and video games from arcades to the home, where you can get a higher quality experience on your own time,\" Kevin Cornils, international managing director at Peloton, told the BBC. Peloton has seen huge sales of its premium-priced bikes during the pandemic and can count Usain Bolt, David Beckham and Michelle Obama among its celebrity fans. \"People will continue to realise that they can get that same motivation that they used to get in a gym from the comfort of their own home so I do see the current trends continuing,\" Mr Cornils adds. One of Peloton's big attractions is its connectivity. The bike's onboard technology can connect with other riders so you can race against others in your own virtual Tour de France, or take part in real-time classes with an instructor online. Other companies offer similar products. \"We are finding a strong surge in connectivity among the younger generations and this will not be isolated from fitness,\" says Lou Lentine, chief executive of Echelon Fitness, a rival to Peloton. But is he worried people will go back to gyms once the pandemic is over? \"I think people will continue to go to the traditional gym, but due to convenience and other factors there may be a hybrid experience where people are continuing to incorporate connected fitness,\" Mr Lentine says. Wearable technology like fitness trackers have seen strong growth in the last few years. From $3.2bn (£2.4bn) in 2018 the industry is expected to grow to $5.1bn this year and $6.2bn in 2021. As they evolve, wearable devices are moving beyond the traditional realm of fitness. \"The evolution of wearable devices mirrors the changing way that people think about fitness. Many are no longer satisfied with tracking basic indicators such as their weight, height, and how many steps they take in a day,\" said a spokesman for Fitbit. Instead, the brand has seen a desire from users to move away from \"body fit\" to pursue other aspects of fitness such as mental wellness, sleep quality and heart health. \"The future of fitness and wearables is about making the invisible visible - unlocking even more information about our bodies to take better control of our health and wellness,\" the Fitbit spokesman added. Metrics being introduced include heart-rate variability, skin temperature and SpO2 sensors, which measure oxygen levels in your blood. Along with helping people to stay fit, such innovations have the potential to serve as an early warning system that something has changed in your wellbeing. With no vaccine yet developed for Covid-19 and global spikes in infection rates, the demand for such health technology is stronger than ever. So what's next for exercise technology? Experts say the driving forces are technological advances such as artificial intelligence (AI) and a change in behaviour in a post-Covid world. One day in the near future all aspects of fitness, from devices, to food, to training videos, will be brought together in one service, says Sid Pathak, an expert in consumer industries for Kearney, a management consulting firm. \"While individual solutions exist for everything - an intelligent weighing scale, a heart-rate monitor, a tracker - they don't talk to each other and provide the consumer a one-stop solution,\" he says.",

The mosque opened for prayers at midday on Wednesday after more than a decade in the planning. Spokesman Dr Abdal Hakim Murad said the \"global city\" of Cambridge had been \"slow off the mark\". Dr Murad, of the Cambridge Mosque Trust, said the city's estimated 6,000 Muslims have had to pray in shifts at smaller, overcrowded Islamic centres locally as well as converted houses. \"There has been an urgent need for a proper mosque in Cambridge, it's an overdue idea,\" he added. \"Cambridge is a global city but it's been slow off the mark in having a multi-cultural space like this.\" The Central Mosque has been designed by Marks Barfield Architects, who won the original contract in 2009. In 2011, anonymous leaflets were posted through doors of houses close to the proposed site, urging people to object on grounds of potential congestion. However, Cambridge City Council said it received 50 letters opposing the plans - but more than 200 in support. Planning permission was granted in 2012. 'Cultural bridge' The mosque includes a prayer hall, ablution areas and accommodation for its Imam's family and visiting scholars. It boasts zero carbon on-site emissions, rainwater harvesting and air source heat pumps. Julia Barfield, principal architect, said the idea was to create \"a truly British mosque in the 21st Century\". \"This mosque can be a cultural bridge, and takes the environmental message to one of the biggest faith communities in the world,\" she said.",

            "input": "Justin RowlattChief environment correspondent@BBCJustinRon Twitter Think about it: what difference does one person forgoing a lamb chop for a lentil bake, deciding to catch the bus rather than take their car, or deciding not to jet off for that autumn getaway in the Balearics make if the other 7,699,999,999 of us humans here on Earth don't do anything? It is a dispiriting conclusion and begs an obvious question, and one that I am sure has already occurred to you: why bother? That's exactly what I asked the 16-year-old climate activist Greta Thunberg when I met her last month. Rather than fly to her climate change meetings in New York, Greta had opted to be whisked across the Atlantic on a racing yacht. You remember the boat, the one with the bright blue plastic poo bucket? \"The point\", she told me as we bobbed in Plymouth Sound, \"is to create an opinion. By stopping flying, you don't only reduce your own carbon footprint but also that sends a signal to other people around you that the climate crisis is a real thing and that helps push a political movement.\" It's a good answer, and, helps explain why this Swedish teenager with pigtails has captured the world's attention. My riposte was maybe a little rude: \"So you're trying to make the rest of us feel guilty?\" \"No\", she replied calmly, and explained she doesn't think it is her job to tell other people how to live their lives. Rather, her convictions must guide her own behaviour. \"I don't fly because of the enormous climate impact of aviation per person.\" She acknowledges that she is a special case. \"Many people listen to what I have to say and I appear a lot in media so therefore I influence a lot of people and therefore I have a bigger responsibility because I have a bigger platform.\" Previously, she's tried attending conferences by video link but it just doesn't make as much of an impression. \"I think it will have a bigger impact if I and many other young people are actually there\". And judging by the publicity she's getting, she is right. But let's be honest, you're no Greta Thunberg. Even if your choices do ripple out into the world and affect a few other people, your decision to eat a little less meat and turn down the thermostat a notch isn't the clarion call that is about to rally the world to the carbon cutting cause, is it? So, why should individuals take action? That is a question for a philosopher. It's their job to wrestle with debates about what principles should guide our behaviour. And I've got just the man. Prof Peter Singer of Princeton University in the US has been described as \"the world's most influential living philosopher\" by New Yorker magazine. For more on the UK's efforts to tackle CO2 emissions, download the BBC Briefing on energy. Part of a mini-series of downloadable guides to the big issues in the news, it has input from academics, researchers and journalists and is the BBC's response to demands for better explanation of the facts behind the headlines. Prof Singer describes himself as an expert in practical ethics and he is very clear on this question. He doesn't just think we should all take action but argues there is a very strong moral obligation why we must do so. \"I think this is one of the great moral challenges of the 21st Century, perhaps the greatest moral challenge\", he says. \"If we are not acting, we are endangering everyone who is alive now and also future generations.\" He compares you failing to cut your emissions with you taking a bulldozer and razing the crops of a subsistence farmer in Africa. If you did that, everyone would agree it was wrong, but the greenhouse gases you are responsible for have the same result, he argues. The fact that the cause is invisible gases, and that the effect may be felt in the distant future, doesn't allow each and every one of us to escape the moral obligation to act, Prof Singer insists. The reason is that our right to freedom of action doesn't extend to harming others. Here's another metaphor. Imagine there's a speed limit on a busy shopping street and someone says, \"I'm going to drive down there with my pedal to the metal, but don't worry, there's a good chance I won't kill anyone.\" You wouldn't say that's fine, maintains Prof Singer. \"You'd say no, you don't have any freedom or right to put other people in grave danger of being injured or killed. And that is exactly what we are doing by going ahead with the levels of greenhouse gas emissions we are emitting today.\" He says the fact that each of us only plays a minuscule part in the process doesn't make a jot of difference: the obligation on us all to act remains. I bet most of us instinctively recognise that there is real force in these arguments. So, why aren't all of us doing more to cut our emissions already? Time for the insights of a behavioural psychologist. Step up Professor Kelly Fielding of the University of Queensland in Brisbane, Australia. We are not the free-thinking independent spirits we imagine ourselves to be, says Prof Fielding. \"What we know as social psychologists is that people are very influenced by what others do, even though we don't think we are\", she explains. \"It's a paradox. We think we make our own decisions, but the truth is we look to others for guidance about how we should behave.\" When it comes to climate change, the problem is that we just aren't getting the cues we need from our friends and families or, for that matter, from government and business, she says. Yet surveys show that people all over the world are increasingly worried about climate change. A US poll published in June illustrated the point very forcefully. The Reuters survey found that while 69% of Americans wanted the government to take \"aggressive\" action to combat climate change, only a third would be willing to pay an extra $100 to make it happen. What the respondents are saying is: \"Yes, there's a problem, but it's not my job to sort it.\" But don't despair, says Professor Fielding. The work of behavioural psychologists suggests It should be possible to flip these findings on their head. If people need cues from others before they change their behaviour, then all we need to do is get some people to start taking action and others will follow, she argues. Which brings us full circle; all the way back to Greta Thunberg and that super-fast carbon-fibre yacht. As Greta says, our actions are important not because they have a material effect on climate change, but because of the message they send to others. What you do influences your friends and family and will help create the political space for governments and businesses to take action. That, in turn, is likely to encourage other people and other countries to do more. And it is happening already. Who would have thought that a company making meat-free burgers could be worth almost $4bn; that the world's most powerful oil cartel would brand climate striking students the \"greatest threat\" to the oil industry; or that climate change would become the key issue for US Democratic presidential candidates? Yes, what I am suggesting is the possibility of a virtuous circle. And yes, this is an argument for us all to be a lot more optimistic about what can be achieved. Because there's another crucial point to remember. Climate change isn't binary: it doesn't just happen or not happen. The crucial question for us all is how much climate change the world will experience. We've already seen a degree of warming. The UN has urged us to try to stay below 1.5 degrees. So here's the thing: the more action we all take, the less our climate will change and the more liveable the world will be for ourselves, our progeny and all the rest of the magnificent abundance that is life on earth. Now come on, that's worth making a few lifestyle changes for, isn't it?",

Their continued absence - followed by three radio stations falling silent on Thursday - led Radio Liberty's Uzbek service, Ozodlik, to suggest they were switched off at autocratic President Islam Karimov's behest \"to keep a tighter rein\" on his daughter. Karimova's been in a war of words with her sister, Lola Karimova-Tillyaeva, who recently said they'd not spoken for 12 years, adding: \"There are no family or friendly relations between us.\" Gulnara retorted that her younger sibling - Uzbek ambassador to UN cultural organisation Unesco - was \"friends with sorcerers\". Opposition website Uznews reported that Gulnara had also expressed concern about her mother performing \"strange rituals\". On top of this, she blamed hackers for the four-day disappearance of her usually highly-active Twitter account, which has almost 40,000 followers. Previously, she'd accused \"envious\" people of rendering it inaccessible. Journalist Farrux Yusufi told News Asia the broadcasters' closure could be punishment for her comments, adding that her actions were \"going beyond the interests of the president's associates\". Much of Karimova's publicity revolves around her Fund Forum charity, which reportedly helps hospitals, schools and needy families. Forum TV is almost entirely dedicated to reporting on its activities. A channel spokesman told Kun.uz website it had gone off air for maintenance. However, there'd been no warning of a scheduled outage and some Uznews sources reckon the broadcasters' disappearance marks the \"intensification of a political struggle\", with PM Shavkat Mirziyoyev and deputy Rustam Azimov. Three channels had been \"constantly running... advertisements\" for Gulnara's extravagent Style.uz art week event in Tashkent, \"much to the annoyance of viewers\", Uznews reports. It says calls to them are either left unanswered or picked up by security guards, while a security officer for one said there'd been an order from above to \"clean up their act\". Meanwhile, state TV has started completely ignoring the art week. To add to Karimova's woes, singer Lara Fabian - the global star booked to bring down art week's curtain - cancelled, saying she didn't want to be a \"shop-window\" for a regime accused of rights abuses.

Other Welsh forces are, or plan to be, at similar levels. The Home Office said the police funding settlement for 2016/17 was \"a good deal\". Mr Cuthbert said he had \"little choice\" if there were further reductions from the UK government. \"Nobody wants to pay more, whether it's council tax, or the police precept - we understand that absolutely,\" he said. \"But if the UK government continue with their austerity programme and continue to reduce the central grant to us then we have little choice other than to turn to the local population for that input.\" Paying for policing In the Gwent Police area the council tax precept was set at £220.06 for a band D property in 2016-17. That compares to £207.85 for South Wales, £200.07 in Dyfed-Powys and £240.12 in North Wales Police force areas. Gwent Police has reduced staffing levels by 16% between 2012 and 2015 - the second highest reduction in Wales and England. And Mr Cuthbert said in five years, if projected 2% cuts from the Home Office continued, about 50% of the Gwent Police budget would have to come from the precept, compared to about 30% in 2008. He said any increase would not go ahead without explanation or consultation. Dyfed-Powys Police is also predicting nearly half of its budget - about £47m - will come from residents by 2019, with the remaining £49m coming from the UK government. North Wales Police already raises 50% of its income from the police precept. South Wales Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC), Alun Michael, said he too was being \"pushed in the direction\" of raising 50% of the force's budget directly from taxpayers. He said: \"Cuts by the Home Office are effectively a tax on local rate payers - we've trimmed back on every part of our operation.\" Mr Michael said the rises in the police precept would be used to maintain services and raise officer numbers back up to around 3,000, after about 600 posts were cut in recent years. 'Good deal' The force has previously said it will face a £58m funding gap by 2020 unless efficiency savings are made and precepts are increased. A spokesman for the Home Office said: \"The police funding settlement for 2016/17 is a good deal and overall police spending has been protected in real terms. \"The settlement ensures that no Police and Crime Commissioner is seeing a reduction in their level of funding in cash this year compared to the previous year as long as they increased their local police council tax precept.\" They said it was a \"matter for PCCs\" to decide the level of precept to support local policing priorities and protect the public.",

She would not reveal the financial cost, but admitted the family had been forced to reorganise its borrowings \"significantly\" to stay in business. \"It's a huge deal for us,\" she said. \"We are running at a significant overdraft.\" The cause is obvious to those living in the county. Currently about 11,500 hectares (28,420 acres) of the Somerset Levels are inundated by about 65 million cubic metres of water. The Levels are supposed to flood, no-one disputes that, but the water is also supposed to then recede. For Mrs Venn and her husband Gerald though, their grassland has been flooded since the end of last year. \"It has been underwater for so long what on earth is it gong to be like when the water goes?\" she says. \"Is it going to be croppable or not? It is not just about farming now, it's about more than farming. The destruction of farmland.\" It is a similar picture for Barry Bryer, a dairy and maize farmer with 400 acres around King's Sedgemoor, 50% of which was underwater a fortnight ago. In 2012, almost a quarter of his land reverted to peat bog, he said, with a friend suggesting the flooding was last this bad in 1929. \"If you have rainfall, you have got to get it out. There are two main arteries - the River Parrett and the Parrett relief channel,\" he said. \"I liken it to your own heart. If your arteries clog up you have bypass surgery - for us that was the bypass channel - but if they remain clogged up something needs sorting. \"Realistically, you have got to clear the rivers. The Parrett has not been dredged properly for 30 years. Dredging is the only way I know of. \"The channels at the moment are only 60% effective.\" According to the tourist board Visit Somerset, the levels are dotted with heritage sites and historic towns, bursting with wildlife and home to a vibrant farming community. However the community is one in desperate need of help. \"Utter despair\" is how the National Famers Union (NFU) in the South West puts it. It says there is a \"lack of trust\" in the government and the problem can only be overcome by \"unblocking the arteries\". NFU regional director Melanie Squires, said: \"We must see urgent action by the Environment Agency (EA), backed by Defra ministers, to allocate sufficient resources or the situation, not simply in terms of the damage done to land and property, but also to trust in central government and its agencies will be irreversible.\" However, the EA is adamant increased dredging in Somerset would not have prevented the widespread flooding. \"We're doing everything we can to pump water off the Somerset Levels as quickly as river and tide levels allow,\" said an agency spokesman. \"This is the single largest pumping operation ever undertaken in Somerset.\" The agency said £45m was spent nationally in the last financial year on improving rivers, including dredging and weed clearance. During a visit to the county, Environment Secretary Owen Paterson, said it appeared two rivers needed to be dredged as part of a much wider package of flood relief work. But for the landowners, the homeowners, the business owners, and the farmers who are surrounded with stagnating floodwater, taking things one day at a time, is the only option. \"Dredging is not the only thing, but if it's not done then we're all going to go under,\" said Mrs Venn. \"If you don't clear your drains out, the water won't go away.\" And there are hundreds in Somerset, who just want the water to drain away.",

            "input": "In his first major speech of 2015, Mr Farage said he believed no party would secure a majority after May's poll. But UKIP would not \"prop up\" a government led by another party unless it offers an \"immediate\" EU referendum. The UKIP leader also claimed his party was now the only \"truly national political party\" in the UK. He dismissed the Conservatives as a \"regional party for the South of England\" and Labour as a similar party for the North. saying UKIP, by contrast, was \"the challenger in virtually every parliamentary seat from Birmingham up to Hadrian's Wall\". He said UKIP was also \"beginning now to dig quite deep into some of the ethnic community vote\". 'Little man' Speaking at a cinema in Canvey Island, Essex, he said UKIP would not engage in \"dirty politics\" as its opponents \"turned nasty\" during the election campaign. Analysis, by political correspondent Robin Brant This was a soft campaign launch but it was an important speech from Nigel Farage. It was heavy on the rhetoric and made no attempt to hide the fact that UKIP is a party tugging at the heart strings, perhaps learning a lesson about the power of emotion from the (ultimately unsuccessful) Yes campaign in Scotland. The word \"believe\" was uttered dozens of times in Mr Farage's short speech; believe in Britain, believe in change. But it was light on weighty policy. Everything mentioned from the podium, in a cinema by the Thames Estuary, has already been announced and it was mostly low level \"retail\" policies, such as ending car park charges in NHS hospitals. Nigel Farage repeated two key things: UKIP won't go into a coalition with any party after 7 May's general election, if it gains more MPs, and their big negotiating demand - their only one - is an \"immediate\" EU referendum. But Suzanne Evans, who is writing the party's manifesto, refused to answer my question about their deficit reduction plan. And on the NHS - an increasingly significant issue for UKIP - Mr Farage wouldn't say if he believed the current way of funding the health service was sustainable.. All he would say was there can't be any cuts. David Cameron, Ed Miliband and Nick Clegg are also staging campaign events on Thursday, the final day before Parliament breaks up for a 10-day recess. Mr Farage, who is hoping to be elected to Westminster as MP for South Thanet, went on to suggest that the two largest parties were failing to \"cut through\" to the public. \"Out there, beyond Westminster, the small businessmen, the backbone of the country, have become victims of a modern form of corporatism. \"We are the only party standing up for the little man.\" Writing in the Daily Telegraph, Mr Farage suggests that campaigning this year has been \"incredibly dull so far\", with Labour's focus on the NHS and the Conservatives' prioritisation of the economy \"pretty predictable\". Health service The UKIP leader has said his party's main policies, including leaving the EU, taking all those on the minimum wage out of tax, ditching HS2 and scrapping tuition fees for science, maths, medicine and engineering degrees, have a wide appeal across the country. Addressing UKIP's policy on the NHS, Mr Farage says it would inject £3bn into the health service but would change the way the institution operated, prioritising research and innovation over middle management \"to make it work for those who need it\". His remarks come amid continuing debate in the party over how to meet the rising demand for healthcare at a time of continuing strain on the public finances. Labour accused UKIP of following a Conservative agenda on the NHS and the economy. Shadow Health Minister Jon Trickett said: \"No single speech is going to hide UKIP and Nigel Farage's long-held beliefs on increasing NHS privatisation and further tax breaks for those at the top. \"The truth is UKIP are a party of Tory people, Tory policies and Tory money: they are more Tory than the Tories.\"",

The 21-year-old was one of eight soldiers killed by the IRA bomb in County Tyrone in August 1988. Ms Greener said he had \"already paid to come out of the Army\" when he was killed. Speaking to BBC Radio Ulster's The Sunday News programme, Ms Greener described her brother as \"very funny, very loving and so laid back\". 'I heard my dad crying' She said he \"wasn't worried or upset\" about being sent to Northern Ireland. \"If my mum said anything he would say 'that's what I am paid for, I am there to look after them.'

To be fair I can't remember a lot of that day after that.\" Ms Greener revealed that her brother had put in place plans to leave the Army months after the attack. \"He was supposed to be coming out that Christmas, him and his friend were setting up a business to do roofing, so he had actually already paid to come out of the Army when he was killed.\" Recalling her feelings ahead of her first visit to the scene five years ago for the 25th anniversary, Ms Greener said she \"didn't really want to come the first time\". \"It gets easier every time I come over. Everybody is so nice and welcoming. It is not what I thought it would be,\" she said. \"I don't think I have grieved properly still. It got pushed back. It is just a case of getting on with it.

Protestors and activists had repeatedly called on the band to abandon the show in protest at Israel's policies towards the Palestinians. \"A lot was said about this, but in the end we played some music,\" frontman Thom Yorke told the sold-out crowd. Fans at the show seemed grateful the band hadn't bowed to pressure and cancelled the concert. \"Everyone here in this crowd didn't vote for [Israeli Prime Minister] Binyamin Netanyahu. They're playing for the people, not the government,\" Sarai Givaty, a 35-year-old musician, told Israel National News. \"What an incredible, insane show,\" wrote another fan on Reddit. \"What an emotional ride those past couple of weeks have been. We got the perfect setlist.\" Playing to 47,000 fans, the band delved into their back catalogue, giving a rare performance of Like Spinning Plates alongside classics including The Bends, Creep, Karma Police and Pyramid Song. \"We came all the way here,\" noted Yorke towards the end of the concert. \"We're gonna play our fingers off.\" 'Simple choice' In April, Radiohead were petitioned by Artists For Palestine, who asked them to reconsider performing in a country \"where a system of apartheid has been imposed on the Palestinian people\". Israel has angrily rejected comparisons with the former apartheid system of South Africa, seeing it as a crude part of a delegitimisation campaign against it. And last week, British filmmaker Ken Loach penned an open letter to the band, urging them to cancel the show. Loach is a high-profile proponent of a cultural boycott of Israel, a key platform of the pro-Palestinian Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement . \"Radiohead need to decide if they stand with the oppressed or the oppressor. The choice is simple,\" he wrote in The Independent. Yorke responded in a statement: \"Playing in a country isn't the same as endorsing its government. \"Music, art and academia is about crossing borders not building them, about open minds not closed ones, about shared humanity, dialogue and freedom of expression.\" The Tel Aviv show marked the end of Radiohead's world tour in support of their critically-acclaimed album A Moon Shaped Pool.

            "input": "By Owain ClarkeBBC Wales health correspondent Opposition parties say more should be done to increase access to NHS dentists. But the Welsh government insists there have been real improvements in recent years. It said 34,000 more patients were seeing a dentist at the end of last year compared to two years previously. The figures show that 52% of adults in Wales were treated by a dentist in the 24 months before 31 December last year. But Plaid Cymru said the fact that almost half of adults had not received any treatment highlighted a problem with the number of available NHS dentists. Health spokeswoman Elin Jones said: \"It's obvious from the number of people who are still unable to find an NHS dentist, even for children, that we need to increase the NHS capacity even further.\" Liberal Democrat assembly member, Eluned Parrott, added: \"This Welsh Labour government has completely overlooked the dentistry service in Wales. \"Just stating that everyone should have access to a dentist isn't enough - there has to be action too.\" How do you provide enough dentists to meet the demand? Cardiff University's School of Dentistry is playing an important part, both in training future dentists and helping people who struggle to get seen on the NHS. Students visit an outreach clinic in Mountain Ash, Rhondda Cynon Taf - an area with one of the highest rates of dental disease in the UK. When the clinic opened two years ago, over 1,000 patients tried to sign up in a week. The students benefit from being able to treat, with some supervision, complicated cases which they might not have come across in Cardiff Patients get free dental treatment in an area where dentists are still in short supply. Prof Mike Lewis, the Dean of Cardiff University's School of Dentistry, said he believes there are now enough dentists to meet demand. \"The days of seeing people queued up outside practices are gone,\" he said. \"I think the workforce is out there actually. I think at the present time, if somebody wants dental treatment they will get it.\" 'Pot of money' But Brian Webber, who helps train new dentists, said there are not enough places for them to practise. \"In the old days you could graduate and go and set up anywhere but now you have to go where there's a contract,\" he said. \"And if the local health board doesn't have a contract available then the dentists can't work there. \"They could go into a private practice but that's not always available everywhere, especially in Wales. \"We don't have a huge pot of money and so we have to manage the resources we have got effectively.\" The Welsh government said more dentists are now working in the NHS in Wales - 1,392 compared to 1,186 dentists in 2006/07. It said that access to dental services continues to improve, with 1.7 million patients regularly seeing an NHS dentist last September- more than 34,000 higher than in September 2011. \"For the first time, every health board in Wales has a dedicated Local Oral Health Plan to measure the effective delivery of dental services and promotion of good oral health over the next five years,\" the Welsh government added.",

            "input": "Epstein, who was set to stand trial on sex trafficking and conspiracy charges, killed himself in his jail cell in New York, prison officials said. He was accused of running a \"vast network\" of underage girls for sex, and pleaded not guilty to the charges last month. The 66-year-old was known to court famous friends and acquaintances. President Donald Trump, former President Bill Clinton, and the UK's Prince Andrew all had ties to him. Some of his powerful associates have been embroiled in the allegations against him, which has only served to fuel the conspiracy theories and misinformation. Many rumours have centred on what politicians may have known about Epstein's alleged crimes and whether some may have wanted him dead. There is absolutely no evidence to suggest this was the case. And yet, the hashtag #EpsteinMurder trended worldwide on Saturday. Joke images and memes - suggesting everything from a faked suicide to an orchestrated hit-job - were shared thousands of times throughout the day. Facebook, Twitter and YouTube were rife with unfounded theories about what may have happened to the financier. This wild speculation was not confined to a fringe minority - far from it. Politicians and high-profile journalists also stoked rampant speculation at a time when little information was publicly available. MSNBC host Joe Scarborough tweeted: New York Mayor Bill de Blasio said it was \"way too convenient\" that Epstein could no longer incriminate others. \"What a lot of us want to know is, what did he know?\" he told reporters. \"How many other millionaires and billionaires were part of the illegal activities that he was engaged in?\" Questions like these alluded, without evidence, to a malevolent conspiracy and fed the feverish speculation on social media. Further rumours centred on how a man who was found semi-conscious and with injuries to his neck just weeks earlier was able to take his own life. Initial reports said Epstein was placed on suicide watch after that incident in July, which led many people to ask how he could have died while being so closely monitored. \"What does the word watch mean in the phrase suicide watch?\" tweeted President Trump's personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani. \"Who was watching?\" He then said it was \"inconceivable\" Epstein could have taken his own life under those circumstances. But prison officials later said Epstein had actually been taken off suicide watch prior to his death. Why this happened is one of a number of valid questions being asked about his death, without going into outlandish conspiracy theories. Unanswered questions: But wild speculation focused on why this suicide watch decision was made, rather than how he was able to take his own life. Perhaps the most far-fetched conspiracy theories were pegged to the hashtags #ClintonBodyCount and #TrumpBodyCount, which both trended on Twitter over the weekend. The first was primarily used by conservatives to suggest that former \"first couple\" Bill and Hillary Clinton were linked to Epstein's death. The latter, perhaps predictably, was used by liberals who speculated that Mr Trump was somehow involved. Neither side had any evidence to work with. The baseless theory of the Clinton's involvement harks back to a long-running conspiracy that originated in the 1990s and claims the couple secretly kill their enemies. This was roundly and methodically debunked at the time by the fact-checking website Snopes. \"There is no evidence whatsoever to suggest an outside person ordered Epstein's death, and certainly no evidence whatsoever that Bill Clinton was that person,\" Dylan Matthews wrote in Vox this week. \"[Mr Clinton] knows nothing about the terrible crimes Jeffrey Epstein pleaded guilty to in Florida some years ago, or those with which he has been recently charged in New York,\" his spokesman, Angel Ureña, said. But Mr Trump was quick to pour fuel on the flames. He shared a tweet from Terrence Williams, a comedian and Trump supporter, that alleged Epstein \"had information on Bill Clinton & now he's dead\". There is no evidence to support this, but the tweet has since been shared more than 55,000 times. Other theories and tidbits of misinformation have been easier to disprove. For example, a photo that appeared to show Mr Trump kissing the head of his daughter, Ivanka, while standing next to Epstein has been exposed as a fake. \"The 1993 photograph... has been manipulated to include Epstein,\" the Associated Press reported last month. Similarly, after Epstein's arrest on 6 July, some social media users shared a false claim that prosecutors had struck a secret plea deal with the financier under the administration of President Barack Obama in order to protect his fellow Democrat Mr Clinton. That theory resurfaced on Saturday. But the deal, which allowed Epstein to plead guilty to lesser charges, was actually finalised before Mr Obama took office under the administration of President George W, Bush. Labour Secretary Alex Acosta resigned over his role in the deal last month. Meanwhile, some politicians and journalists have urged people to exercise caution given the sheer quantity of misinformation online. \"The immediate rush to spread conspiracy theories about someone on the 'other side' of [the] partisan divide illustrates why our society is so vulnerable to foreign disinformation,\" tweeted Republican Senator Marco Rubio. CNN presenter Jim Sciutto, reflecting on his time working in the Middle East, said: \"Remember this is about... partisan politics. When I was [there]... folks didn't trust authorities so assumed a plot behind every event.\"",

Mr Alder, a former Parachute Regiment soldier, died in Queens Gardens police station while handcuffed and lying face down and unconscious in a pool of blood. CCTV footage showed officers laughing and joking. It was more than 10 minutes before police went to his aid. A coroner's inquest found he was unlawfully killed. Misconduct and manslaughter charges were brought against five Humberside Police officers but they were acquitted in 2002.

The force has apologised for its failure to \"treat Christopher with sufficient compassion\".

They couldn't believe it was a true story.\" Mr Alder's sister, Janet, has campaigned for more than 20 years for further answers over her brother's death.

The main costs would be an estimated £3.2bn loss from fewer students arriving and working in the UK either during or after their course, and a further loss of £170m in fees to educational institutions. Savings would include an estimated £840m saving to public services, such as the NHS, by having to deal with fewer immigrants and a further £150m at the UK Border Agency. Restrictions on numbers Earlier this year, ministers said they would cut the number of student visas through greater scrutiny of private colleges and courses and tougher English language tests. There will also be restrictions on when students and their dependents can work. The proposals are expected to eventually reduce the number of students by 75,000 a year, down from roughly 250,000 a year at present. Officials say the figures are based on a worst-case scenario and it would be reasonable to assume that British workers would take jobs not being held by foreign students. 'Sledgehammer' Immigration Minister Damian Green said: \"We are radically reforming the immigration system to tackle abuse and bring net migration down to sustainable levels. \"These changes to the student visa system will create a system where every student coming to the UK attends a legitimate course at a legitimate institution. \"They will work alongside our other reforms of the work route and changes being planned for the settlement and the family routes.\" But Pam Tatlow, chief executive of the Million+ think tank that represents new universities, said \"the system did not need the government to take a sledgehammer to it\", although it was necessary to crack down on bogus universities. She said university leaders had been warning \"for months\" about the likely cost of the visa changes. \"At a time of economic difficulty, we should not be introducing reforms that will damage the UK or stop us attracting the talent and skills we need to rebuild our economy,\" she said. Shadow home office minister Shabana Mahmood said the government's immigration policy was in \"disarray\". The government had \"succeeded in damaging the reputation of UK universities\" and was not providing the UK Borders Agency with sufficient resources, she said. \"At the heart of Tory immigration policy is chaos, confusion and a failure to protect both the UK border and the economy,\" she said. Taking action' On Monday the government also released figures showing it had revoked the licences of 33 education providers since May 2010, saying they had failed to comply with the government's requirements. These included Rockfield College, Torquay, which the Home Office said had claimed to be offering University of London degrees but could produce no evidence to prove it - although Martin Beech, the former principle of the college, told the BBC the claims were incorrect and the licence had been granted just two weeks before it was revoked. In another case, the licence was revoked from St Georges College UK Ltd, which the Home Office said was unable to account for a \"high proportion\" of students who had applied for visas to study there, and the Waterloo School of English, which it said was \"operating without premises\". Neither organisation could be reached for comment at the time of publication. Another 32 providers have had their licences suspended. Mr Green said the figures showed \"that this government will not hesitate in taking action against educational providers who do not abide by our rules\". The government has long been trying to clamp down on so-called bogus colleges set up to get around visa rules under the pretence of offering courses.",

Whitbread says customers are willing to sacrifice room size and central locations for a bargain basement price. PriestmanGoode, which designs first class plane cabins, designed the rooms. They have twin single beds that can be pushed together to create a double bed, as well as air conditioning, flat screen TVs and WiFi. Whitbread said the smaller room format would allow it to use a wider range of buildings in towns and cities across the UK. It has secured a second location in Southampton that will have 140 rooms and is searching for more sites. Alison Brittain, Whitbread chief executive, said Zip would let the company access a wider range of customers, including those who are \"on a particularly tight budget but still expect and deserve the basics done brilliantly\". Greg Johnson, an analyst at Shore Capital, said Zip should allow Whitbread to open hotels in locations that could not sustain a regular Premier Inn. He added that the main chain already has 800 hotels with about 80,000 rooms and would soon account for one in every eight hotel stays in the UK, suggesting that segment of the market was close to saturation. In April, Whitbread said it would spin off its Costa coffee chain in the wake of pressure from activist investors, before revealing a shock £3.9bn sale of the chain to Coca-Cola at the end of August. The FTSE 100 firm has tested its new hotel format with six Zip rooms on sale for several months at an unspecified Premier Inn hotel. There are more than 800 Premier Inns in the UK, along with 10 Hub by Premier Inn hotels in central locations in London and Edinburgh. Hub is described as \"design-led\", with 11 sq m rooms that cost more than the £57 average for the main chain. Whitbread is still planning to open more Premier Inn hotels as well as new Hub and Zip locations. The Yotel chain also offers compact pod-style rooms in New York, Boston and Singapore city centres, as well as Gatwick, Heathrow, Charles de Gaulle and Schiphol airports at considerably higher prices. Capsule, or pod, hotels with rooms barely larger than a single bed first emerged in Japan and were popular with \"salarymen\" who missed their last train home after one too many drinks.",

In its 12th year, the prize rewards the funniest one-liner to grace the venues of the festival and celebrates the pool of talent the Fringe has to offer. The goal of finding the wittiest one-liners fell to an expert panel of 10 judges, comprising the UK's leading comedy critics. After scouring hundreds of venues and shows at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, the panel submitted their favourite six jokes. Without naming the comics behind each one, 2,000 members of the British public were invited to choose the funniest. Falafel's gag won 41% of the vote. Olaf Falafel claims to be \"Sweden's 8th funniest\" comedian. He is a surrealist comedian and illustrator and also works as a children's book author. He has performed two shows this year in Edinburgh, the first was It's One Giant Leek for Mankind. His second show is called Knitting with Maracas. On his joke claiming the top spot, Falafel said: \"This is a fantastic honour but it's like I've always said, jokes about white sugar are rare, jokes about brown sugar... demerara.\" However, a charity for people with Tourette's syndrome has asked the comedian to apologise for his award-winning joke.

Sukumaran and Andrew Chan were named as ring leaders of the group and sentenced to death in 2006. Indonesian President Joko Widodo has said he will not give clemency to any of the 64 drug smugglers on death row. The eight men and one woman of the Bali Nine were aged between 18 and 28 at the time of their arrests. Following various appeals, the other seven are now serving either life or 20 years in prison.

It was printed on the letterhead of \"Presiden Republik Indonesia\" and had Mr Widodo's name printed underneath, reported Fairfax Media. He is now expected to face execution by firing squad. It is not clear whether Chan has had a similar rejection of clemency. Australia opposes the death penalty and Prime Minister Tony Abbott told reporters the government would continue to make representations on behalf of Australians facing execution in overseas jurisdictions. However, Mr Abbott said he did not want to damage ties with Indonesia, which is both a major trading ally and key to Australia's efforts to reduce asylum-seeker numbers. \"My hope is that these executions will not go ahead,\" he said. \"What I am not going to do, though, is jeopardise the relationship with Indonesia. That would be foolish.\" Sukumaran's family and lawyers had hoped his good behaviour in prison would win him a reprieve from the president. He told Fairfax Media that he and Chan had changed over the past decade. \"We don't deserve to be executed. Our families shouldn't have to suffer like this,\" he reportedly said through an intermediary. \"My mum's on the floor, tears, crying and can't talk. My sister is in tears and can't talk.

            "input": "By Alison HoltSocial Affairs Correspondent, BBC News The Local Government Association fears such financial instability could put vulnerable children's care at risk. And some councils report struggling to find suitable places for vulnerable children near their families. The Independent Children's Homes Association blamed funding cuts for the squeeze on children's homes. In the 1990s most children's homes were in the public sector but now about 80% are in private or voluntary sector hands which was thought to be better value for money. But now, escalating costs and difficulties of finding nearby places mean some councils are reopening their own children's homes. 'It was terrifying' Robyn (whose name we have changed to protect her identity) was 12 when she was taken into care for her own safety. But the nearest children's home that could offer her a place was nearly two hours' drive away. One night, a social worker came and took her away from her family to a residential home. \"I didn't even know what the town was called or the street, \" she says. Her story is all too common in a children's care system councils say is struggling with rising demand and increasing costs. She adds: \"I was really close to all my teachers and me school. \"I felt really isolated - having no-one to speak to, no friends. \"I sat in my room for days, watching telly and having no schoolwork to do - it's hard.\" She was eventually moved into foster care in her home city of Liverpool - but it took more than a year. Liverpool City Council says the difficulty of finding places locally is one sign of the major problems facing the care system. Councillor Barry Kushner, who is the council's cabinet member for children's services, claims some larger providers will fill a place based on how much a council will pay rather than whether it is local to the child. \"The costs of residential care have in the last three years gone up by about 30%,\" he says, with Robyn's placement alone about £3,500 a week. He accepts that some costs are increasing because of the complex needs of children, but also worries about the level of debt some of the larger companies have. \"Where I take issue is where those additional costs are levied on the council because of the internal financing of those organisations, because of who owns them or who is investing in them. \"And councils really shouldn't be picking up the bill for that.\" Complex needs Liverpool, like a number of other authorities, is now reopening some of its own children's homes, closed nearly a decade ago, to be run by the charity, Barnardo's. The LGA report shows most of the biggest care providers have more debts and liabilities than assets. Many of the big companies are private equity funded which often means loans have been used to buy the business with the aim of making a profit when it is sold on. Councils have seen significant increases in the cost of placing a child in a residential or foster placement, partly because of the increasingly complex needs of many children. But the report also says the six largest independent companies made £215m in profit last year with some making more than 20% profit on their income. The LGA wants more transparency over costs and for the financial health of the big firms to be monitored to avoid a similar scenario to the collapse of adult care home provider Southern Cross in 2011. 'Excessive profits' Judith Blake, chair of the LGA's Children and Young People Board, says much of the growth of the biggest providers \"has been fuelled by enormous loans, which will at some point need paying back, yet this research shows many of them do not have the assets to do that\". She added: \"Stability for children in care is paramount... and an oversight scheme is needed to help catch providers before they fail and ensure company changes don't risk the quality of provision. \"Providers should also not be making excessive profits from providing placements for children. She wants a promised government review of children's care to consider how to better support in-house provision and smaller providers. The Independent Children's Homes Association represents both large and small private care companies as well as voluntary sector homes. It says the report doesn't look at the value for money or quality of care provided by many independent care companies. Its chief executive, Peter Sandiford, says he would be concerned if the level of debt held by some firms keeps growing, but that the likelihood of one of those companies failing is \"at the moment, probably not very high\". He also believes that, rather than care companies making large profits, many of the smaller providers are struggling on the fees that local authorities pay. With increasing numbers of children needing support he wants independent care providers and councils to work together more closely to plan what is needed. \"What we're looking at is growing the sector, and having more homes to look after very vulnerable children. \"I don't think we can afford to say one thing isn't right, because we need the whole spectrum (of homes).\" A spokeswoman for the Department for Education said an extra £1 billion of new funding was being put in to adult and children's social care, adding: \"The safety and suitability of a child's placement in care is our absolute priority, which is why we are reviewing the system so children receive the best possible care.\"",

Ms Rayward, of Telford, Shropshire, eventually had the tooth removed at an Urgent Dental Care hub (UDC) but said the current system was \"not working\". The government said the hubs were helping those who needed urgent care. Local practices were told to suspend routine services on 25 March, to slow the spread of coronavirus and to set up the local hubs. Ms Rayward said after a large filling came out \"the tooth actually split in half and that's when the pain really started to take hold\". \"The pain for me was worse than childbirth. I have never experienced pain like it, it was searing through the side of my face. It was just awful,\" she said. She said her own dentist was \"sympathetic\" and advised her on pain relief but told her the UDCs were for emergencies such as infections. Another dentist offered antibiotics, but the pain would not go and so she tried to remove the tooth herself. \"I think I probably moved it quite a bit but not as much to relieve any sort of pain,\" she said. The following day she called several dentists and was eventually seen at a UDC where her tooth was extracted, bringing \"immediate\" relief. David Cottam, chair of Practitioners' Committee of the British Dental Association, said the system under lockdown was \"working better than it was\" but treatment at hubs was \"very, very limited\" and meant some teeth were taken out rather than saved.

They were residents at Brithdir Nursing Home in New Tredegar, Caerphilly. The inquest in Newport follows Operation Jasmine, an £11.6m inquiry into alleged neglect at six homes. One of Wales' biggest inquiries, it was launched after the death of an 84-year-old patient at a nursing home in Newbridge, Caerphilly. Opening the inquest, Assistant Coroner for Gwent Geraint Williams said police started investigating in 2005 following the death of an 84-year-old \"mentally infirm\" woman at another care home in Newbridge. Mr Williams said it led to officers uncovering a \"pattern of concerns linked to other deaths in other care homes\". In relation to the Brithdir inquiry, Mr Williams said: \"Operation Jasmine uncovered evidence suggesting poor care of residents, including allegations of poor pressure sore and peg [percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy] feed management, malnourishment, and general neglect of the residents' long-term needs, together with deficient standards of care and nursing practice.\" The inquest heard resident Mr James, who had dementia and was not mobile, developed several pressure sores in the 18 months before he died in August 2003. Mr Bradford, who had schizophrenia, was admitted to the Prince Charles Hospital in Merthyr Tydfil on several occasions for complaints of \"dehydration, chest and urine infections\". Before he died in August 2005 he was \"observed to be seriously malnourished\", by doctors. Dementia patient Mrs Evans was admitted to the same hospital in September 2005, where nurses found the site around her feeding tube \"infected\", while broken skin was found on her buttocks and she appeared \"unkempt and dirty, and her mouth and lips were dry and her tongue was thick\". Dr Prana Das, who owned and ran the nursing home along with several other facilities in Wales, faced a string of charges relating to failings in care. He suffered a brain injury during a burglary at his home in 2012 and was declared medically unfit to stand trial. Dr Das died in January 2020 aged 73, but his widow and co-owner of the home, Dr Nishebita Das, who is said not to have taken part in running it, is expected to give evidence at the inquest. 'Consider nurses' actions' Mr Williams told the hearing that, even before the couple purchased the home in April 2002 under their company Puretruce Health Care Limited, \"serious concerns\" were raised by state agencies regarding the number of residents who had suffered pressure ulcers. \"Those issues continued, even after Dr Das assumed ownership of the home,\" he said. Mr Williams said the inquest will consider the actions of nurses and carers at the home, \"many of whom came to this country from abroad to work and have since returned there, and are now not available to participate in the inquest\". The inquest is set to last until March. A hearing into the death of a seventh resident, Matthew Higgins, 86, will be held following the conclusion of this inquest.",

The scooters, which are now available in more than 100 cities across the world, have been flooding streets since the introduction in recent years of sharing schemes similar to the cycle hire projects. There are, for example, more than 15,000 scooters available for hire on the streets of the French capital, Paris. In the German city of Cologne, authorities expect as many as 40,000 users by the end of the year, Deutsche Welle reports. The vehicles are also growing in popularity due to their low environmental impact compared with other modes of transport. How dangerous are they? An explosion in the popularity of motorised scooters appears to have caught governments off guard, and companies that manufacture and supply scooters are not currently required to provide certain safety features - some scooters only have one brake and can be difficult to stop when travelling at speed. Since January 2018, at least 11 deaths have been linked to the scooters in cities including Paris, Brussels, Barcelona, Stockholm and London. Hundreds of people have been injured in road traffic incidents involving the vehicles: What are the current laws in European cities? The use of electric scooters in public is permitted in many European countries, such as Germany, France, Austria and Switzerland. But laws in the UK and Ireland ban them from pavements and roads - the only place they can be ridden is on private land, with the permission of the landowner. Riders caught using them in public in the UK face a £300 fixed-penalty notice and six points on their driving licence. Sweden has banned the use of any motorised scooters capable of speeds beyond 20km/h from its cities' bicycle lanes. In Paris, fines of €135 ($151; £116) were recently introduced for riding electric scooters on pavements, and a €35 penalty is issued to users parking vehicles in doorways or blocking pavements. France is also expected to give cities more power to regulate scooter use later this year, although it is not clear what measures will be implemented. A speed limit for the vehicles has been introduced in Belgium, where they can be ridden by anyone aged 18 or over under the same laws as bicycles, although the country recently raised the speed limit from 18km/h to 25km/h. In the Danish capital, Copenhagen, new rules are being considered to limit the number of scooters that can be parked in specified areas of the city, The Local reported.",

The first 23 pieces released to buyers sold for £242,095 in less than 20 minutes. A gallery spokesman said Williamson's \"raw talent\" was \"unrivalled\". Kieron started painting aged five when he asked his parents to buy him a drawing pad while on holiday in Cornwall. Presenting his work publicly for the first time in 2010, when just seven years old, the exhibition sold out within minutes for £150,000. 'Famous painters' Nicknamed after the French Impressionist Claude Monet, Kieron's work is now highly sought after by collectors around the world with some pieces held in the Royal Collection. Adrian Hill, from the Picturecraft Gallery, said the paintings were \"impressionist without being abstract\" creating \"a natural balance to his work\". Mr Hill said Kieron was following in the footsteps of the great painters like Picasso and Giotto. \"Picasso was nine years old when he had his first exhibition, Giotto was discovered by a merchant when he was 11 years old drawing in the mud and went on to become one of the most famous Renaissance painters of all time. \"These guys had a raw natural talent, they could mix colour, they had an ability to draw perspective and proportion - Kieron just has this ability to put those things together in a very natural way.\" Michelle Williamson, Kieron's mother, said for the first time she had seen collectors explore the young artist's \"investment potential\". \"He's unrivalled by any other 10-year-old artist in the world and the support for him is overwhelming,\" she said. \"Before people would have been happy with just one example of his work, now it seems collectors are buying a number of his pieces at a time because of their investment potential.\"",

            "input": "By Katia MoskvitchTechnology reporter, BBC News If he were to spot an enemy down there, or anywhere near the aircraft, he would not need to point the plane towards the target. He would simply look at it - through the solid hull of the plane - make sure that a tiny symbol displayed on his helmet's visor was aligned with the object, press a button and fire. The pilot is wearing BAE Systems' Striker HMSS helmet, the UK defence company's latest development. Putting augmented reality technology - as used in video games - to military use is the latest goal for helmet makers around the world. Cameras all around the aircraft are wirelessly linked to BAE's helmet; the system checks in which direction the pilot is looking, and then displays the exact view on the visor, in real time. Striker incorporates a helmet-mounted display (HMD), designed to help the pilot communicate with the plane. HMD is a step forward from the so-called head-up displays (HUD) - the transparent screens in front of the pilot that first appeared in the 1970s. They show key data, such as the altitude, speed and direction, allowing pilots to keep their eyes on the view ahead instead of constantly looking down to check their instruments. HUDs also display targets - but to aim, the pilot has to manoeuvre the aircraft accordingly. The military around the world started using HMDs in the 1990s; nowadays, they are becoming more and more advanced. \"If a pilot wears a Striker helmet - which is essentially a helmet with an integrated display - when he sees something on the ground he can just turn his head, put a symbol across on to the point of interest, press a button, and the system will calculate the object's co-ordinates,\" says Alan Jowett of BAE Systems. \"The aircraft can then turn its sensors, cameras or weapons in that direction - so it allows a dialogue directly between the plane and the pilot.\" Night vision Pilots from a number of countries routinely wear Striker HMSS on training exercises but it has not yet been used in combat. BAE Systems says its helmet is the most advanced in the world but there are other companies which can make a claim to that title. California-based Vision Systems International (VSI) has created a helmet-mounted display called HMDS Gen II, specifically designed for the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter stealth jet, which is currently under development. The plane has been designed without a head-up display, so getting the right HMD is paramount. Like Striker, HMDS Gen II integrates infrared imaging, night vision and a virtual HUD, showing data right in front of the pilot's eyes. \"All of the plane's sensors along with a set of cameras mounted on the jet's outer surfaces feed the system, providing the pilot with X-ray vision-like imagery,\" says David Cenciotti, a military aviation journalist and former Italian Air Force officer. \"He can see in all directions, and through any surface, with all the information needed to fly the plane and to cue weapons projected on to the visor.\" \"The most used helmet-mounted display in the world is JHMCS, also made by VSI.\" Playing the game In future, full-display helmets could lead to the deployment of unmanned drones from the sky, says Peter Robbie, vice-president of business development at European aerospace and defence firm EADS. \"If you're flying a fighter plane with a helmet-mounted display, you could actually control a UAV [unmanned aerial vehicle] equipped with weapons from the jet,\" he says. \"The UAV would be an additional weapons carrier, and the pilot could pass targeting information to it. \"So if he sees a target, by pressing a button it would become the unmanned vehicle's target. The pilot could authorise it to drop a missile and then monitor through his helmet where it is going to go. \"This type of monitoring already happens now - the pilot has a laser pointed on to the target, and it is what the weapon goes after. If at the last minute he sees, for instance, an ambulance turn up, he can make the weapon miss the target.\" Such developments, along with the pinpoint accuracy of missiles on a modern aeroplane, could help save lives by reducing collateral damage. But one retired RAF pilot says that adopting too much technology worries him. \"The biggest computer in my day, in the 1970s and 1980s, was the human brain. Now the human brain is in the business of managing all the data the plane is feeding to it,\" says Andrew Brookes, a former wing commander. \"You're not flying - the computer does the flying. You just sit in an armchair, so to speak, and manage the battle space, manage all the inputs that are coming around from miles away, and a lot of it is fused under the screen in the helmet in front of your eyes. \"And while the precision power is awesome, and the intelligence-gathering capability is awesome, you become an all-seeing being in the sky. \"That's frightening when you think about it - as everything becomes more technological, there's less and less of the human flying element, and some people may not realise they are making a transition from a video game in their living room to a big video game in a conflict. \"And in real life, there is simply no reset button.\"",

The Leeds businessman told BBC Radio 4's You and Yours programme that the line had so far made £300. Phone Pay Plus, which regulates premium numbers, said it strongly discouraged people from adopting the idea. Mr Beaumont came up with the plan when he grew sick of calls offering to help him reclaim payment protection insurance (PPI), or install solar panels. He said: \"I don't use my normal Leeds number for anyone but my friends and family.\" Once he had set up the 0871 line, every time a bank, gas or electricity supplier asked him for his details online, he submitted it as his contact number. He added he was \"very honest\" and the companies did ask why he had a such a number. He told the programme he replied: \"Because I'm getting annoyed with PPI phone calls when I'm trying to watch Coronation Street so I'd rather make 10p a minute.\" He said almost all of the companies he dealt with were happy to use it and if they refused he asked them to email. Warning The number of calls received by Mr Beaumont has fallen from between 20 and 30 a month to just 13 last month. Because he works from home, Mr Beaumont has been able to increase his revenue by keeping cold callers talking - asking for more details about their services. He admitted the scheme had changed his attitude, saying: \"I want cold calls\", and that he had moved on to encouraging companies to make contact. After a recent problem with his online shopping, he declined to call an 0845 number but posted his number on Twitter in the knowledge that the number could be picked up by marketing companies. But the premium number regulator Phone Pay Plus says the public should think twice before setting up their own lines. They say phone line providers must meet consumer protection standards, which include transparency, fairness and complaint handling, which would mean clearly setting out the cost of each call to any organisation that rang. They told You and Yours: \"Premium rate numbers are not designed to be used in this way and we would strongly discourage any listeners from adopting this idea, as they will be liable under our code for any breaches and subsequent fines that result.\" A survey for charity Citizens Advice found that two-thirds of those asked had received unwanted calls, texts, emails or letters about PPI mis-selling.

Conservative Preseli Pembrokeshire MP Stephen Crabb said it was an appalling decision. The MoD said tenants had been given 12 months' notice to leave. It said it had a duty to dispose of properties not required for future service personnel. But the owner of the land says the MoD could dispose of 11,000 empty properties instead. Families renting homes on the Cashfield Estate in Haverfordwest from the MoD are among those who have been served eviction notices - saying they need to leave by March 2021. The homes were leased to civilian tenants by the MoD from a private company, Annington Homes Ltd. Tenants were told the reason for the eviction notice was that the homes were being released back from the MoD to Annington Homes. The MoD later issued a message to residents saying that \"in cases of hardship\" they could extend tenancies until September 2021 \"on a case-by-case basis\". Annington Homes said while it was the freeholder of the properties, the decision to terminate the tenancies was \"the MoD's alone and we were not consulted on it beforehand\". A spokesman added: \"We are engaging with the MoD to understand their background to these notices being issued and to support the tenants affected.\" 'What if we go back into lockdown?' Aden Cotterill, who has lived on the Cashfield Estate for three years, said it was a \"disgusting\" decision. \"You're talking forty plus homes being uprooted,\" he said. \"For that to happen during these times, during a global pandemic, and during a recession when everybody's got no money anyway is just unbelievable.\" Mr Cotterill said his biggest concern is trying to find a new home. \"My other half is disabled so getting out and about isn't easy for her. In this area there are not many houses up for rent at the moment. \"What if we did go back into lockdown? Then there's even less income coming in. Are they going to even allow you to move house? \"My neighbour is worried she might end up homeless. \"Some of my neighbours have lost jobs and are currently unemployed, some of my neighbours have been affected by coronavirus and moving is the last thing on their mind.\" He said that when they first rented the property they were told they were leased by the MoD from Annington Homes and that \"the only time we would be expected to move out would be if they wanted to move the Army back in here, but they said that was highly unlikely.\" \"In an ideal world we'd like to see Annington Homes allow the houses back with sitting tenants in them already - even if they put the rent up, anything like that would be better than kicking us out.\" In a letter seen by BBC Wales, from Annington Homes to the Defence Minister Jeremy Quin, the company said \"nearly 350 families\" in the UK have been affected by these evictions. The letter said there was no requirement for the MoD to return these properties to Annington Homes and they \"cannot fathom\" the rationale behind the MoD's decision. It also added that there were 11,000 empty properties owned by Annington, and leased by the MoD, which they believe the MoD could return instead of the hundreds with tenants living in them. Preseli Pembrokeshire MP Mr Crabb said he was \"appalled to find out that the Ministry of Defence had issued these eviction notices to families in my constituency. \"In Pembrokeshire there is shortage of decent, affordable properties to rent anyway. \"But given we're in the middle of pandemic which is also seeing an increase in the property market, people moving into the area from outside, buying up available homes, it's the worst possible moment to be receiving an eviction notice.\" He called on the MoD to withdraw the notices and for a defence minister to \"come to Parliament and explain what is going on\". What has the MoD said? A MoD spokesman said: \"Civilian tenants who rent these homes sign-up to two months' notice. \"However, in recognition of the extraordinary circumstances being faced by tenants during the Covid-19 pandemic we have extended the Notice to Vacate period to 12 months. \"This provides up to a year for the MoD to work with Annington Homes to whom the houses are being returned. \"We would like to enable homes to be transferred to Annington with sitting tenants but this would require their support. We are committed to working with them to try and achieve this objective\".",

His company Immuno Biotech made millions selling the substance online, Southwark Crown Court heard. The 65-year-old had previously pleaded guilty to money laundering and manufacturing, supplying and selling an unlicensed medicine. 'Vulnerable people' Sentencing him, Judge Nicholas Lorraine-Smith said: \"It is not GcMAF that is on trial.\" He said Noakes \"firmly\" believed GcMAF had helped and would help people but had showed a \"reckless disregard for the regulatory regime\". He had sold it to \"extremely vulnerable people\" and the fact it was freely available for sale on the internet was \"horrifying\", the judge added. Judge Lorraine-Smith told Noakes the evidence pointed \"very strongly to personal gain becoming a motive as your business developed\" and he had \"no doubt that almost from the beginning you knew that what you were doing was unlawful\". Guernsey-based Immuno Biotech sold the unlicensed human blood product through its website to an estimated 10,000 people, Noakes told the court last week. The supply was discovered when the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) raided a Cambridge laboratory in January 2015, and warned the public GcMAF may pose a significant risk to people's health. Between 2011 and the MHRA raid, Immuno Biotech made £7.9m from the sale of products with Noakes spending nearly £1m of it on planes, Southwark Crown Court heard. It was marketed as a cure for autism, HIV and cancer, although Noakes admitted he was constantly \"toning down\" the claims and no-longer said GcMAF was a cancer cure. Cancer Research UK and the National Autistic Society were among those who have raised concerns about the product and Guernsey's government banned its importation in February 2015. Noakes was sentenced to 12-month terms for each of four offences relating to the unlicensed medicine to run concurrently, and to a further three months for money laundering. He was also disqualified as a company director for eight years. Immuno Biotech scientist Dr Rodney Smith, 55, of Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire was jailed for eight months after admitting five charges relating to the manufacture, possession and sale and supply of unlicensed medicine.

A statement from Guernsey's health committee said due to \"the decision to ban the importation of this unlicensed and untested product, both staff and politicians were subjected to abuse and accusations the likes of which we have never seen before and sincerely hope to never see again.\" It said politicians and officers were \"publicly accused of being corrupt and killing people\", but carried out their \"overarching aim to protect the community\".",

Look back at the list of Apple's recent acquisitions and they could not be more different from Beats. They are mostly small technology businesses, acquired both for the brains of their staff and for the capabilities they might bring to new Apple products. And with the exception of Siri, the software firm bought to power Apple's voice-activated digital assistant, you never hear the names of its purchases after they disappear into the Cupertino campus. Look across the range of Apple products and everything is branded with that familiar logo. But Beats is surely most valuable as a brand - and many dedicated audiophiles will tell you that behind that \"b\" logo, the quality of its headphones leaves much to be desired. So it would be bizarre to spend $3bn only to plaster an Apple symbol over the headphones. But it probably isn't the headphones or the brand that are the main attraction to Apple - it is the need to bolster its music offering. Beats Music, launched in the US earlier this year, is a streaming service which looks as though it might pose the first serious threat to Spotify. For a decade Apple's iPod and iTunes made it the biggest player in digital music - but that was in the download era. Now all the growth in music industry revenue is coming from streaming services - and despite the recent launch of iTunes Radio, the company looks behind the pace on this. The analyst-turned-venture capitalist Benedict Evans tweeted an interesting chart this morning of Google searches for iTunes, Beats and Spotify in the US. iTunes is way ahead but the trend has turned lower, with Spotify and Beats both heading higher. So if this deal goes through, expect a much more comprehensive subscription music streaming service from Apple, although the music labels may want to revise the terms of their licensing deal with Beats. That could pose a threat to Spotify, which may regret not raising funds via a share sale earlier - or might now find itself a target for acquisition. Apple - as ever - is saying absolutely nothing, but one man isn't keeping quiet. In a video posted on Facebook, Dre celebrates loudly and swearily about becoming a member of \"the billionaire's boy club\". \"The Forbes List just changed… they need to update the Forbes list.\" Whether that message was approved by the Apple PR team is not clear, but if hip hop's first billionaire does join Silicon Valley's most secretive business, the clash of cultures is going to provide endless entertainment.",

Across the country, celebrating Trump supporters will toast his swearing-in with a drink while others will numb their nerves with booze. Around the world, alcohol will help with this historic transition. In north London, for instance, the Old Queens Head pub is throwing an Armageddon-themed party to mark the start of Donald Trump's presidency. But the man himself will not be boozing through his first hours as the most powerful politician in the world. In fact, he won't touch a drop of alcohol on Friday night or on any day of his presidency. \"I've never had a drink,\" Donald Trump told Fox News after his election last November. Unlike George W Bush, who was teetotal in office after giving up booze on his 40th birthday, Mr Trump has eschewed alcohol his whole life, making him a first among modern US presidents. The reason for Mr Trump's sobriety is because his adored older brother Freddie died of illness stemming from alcoholism at the age of 42. \"It was a very tough period of time,\" he said, that convinced him never to drink. \"If you don't start you're never going have a problem. If you do start you might have a problem. And it's a tough problem to stop,\" Mr Trump told Fox. What is fascinating is his view that one drink could spiral into addiction. He discussed his fear that he might have a gene that would make moderate drinking impossible. His approach to alcohol is also a window into a personality that appears to crave control over others. Mr Trump ordered his children to follow his example. Every day he would drum the message into them: No drugs, no alcohol, no cigarettes. \"I've been very tough on my children with respect to drink,\" he said. So how do the teetotal presidents compare with those who enjoyed the pleasures of a drink? George W Bush went dry after years of heavy boozing and swapped a compulsion for drink for an obsession with fitness. Remembered largely for the invasion of Iraq, George W's foreign policy record might not be seen as the best advertisement for a teetotal presidency. Nor might the idealistic but muddled foreign policy of Jimmy Carter, another teetotal president. Life in the Carter White House was drearily dry and a chore for its more sociable visitors. Senator Ted Kennedy remembered arid evenings of earnest discussion. \"You'd arrive about 6.00 or 6.30pm, and the first thing you would be reminded of, in case you needed reminding, was that he and Rosalynn had removed all the liquor in the White House. No liquor was ever served during Jimmy Carter's term. He wanted no luxuries nor any sign of worldly living,\" Kennedy wrote. The moderate drinkers fare better. Franklin D Roosevelt frequently tops the list of America's greatest presidents, the commander-in-chief who defeated the Great Depression and led the US through World War Two. Throughout these turbulent years, FDR kept a martini close at hand and prized the rituals of cocktail hour, when he mixed stiff drinks for friends on his White House study desk. The conviviality of cocktail hour undoubtedly helped FDR unwind and briefly relieved the immense pressure he was under. John F Kennedy would occasionally sip a daiquiri but preferred women to wine and kept a clear head through the brinkmanship of the Cuban Missile Crisis. But other presidents were more reckless with their drinking. Lyndon Johnson was well known in Washington for his capacity to guzzle Cutty Sark whisky and soda when he was Democratic majority leader in the Senate, a habit he took to the White House. Johnson, who told his doctor after a heart attack that the only things he enjoyed in life were \"whisky, sunshine and sex\", enjoyed entertaining at his Texas ranch where the booze flowed. LBJ's special assistant for domestic affairs, Joseph A Califano, remembered a ride around the ranch with the president: \"As we drove around we were followed by a car and a station wagon with Secret Service agents. The president drank Cutty Sark scotch and soda out of a large, white, plastic foam cup. \"Periodically, Johnson would slow down and hold his left arm outside the car, shaking the cup and ice. A Secret Service agent would run up to the car, take the cup and go back to the station wagon. There another agent would refill it with ice, scotch and soda as the first agent trotted behind the wagon.\" But the most disturbing picture of presidential drinking is provided by Richard Nixon, a man prone to morose self-pity who medicated his moods with booze. According to his Secretary of State, Henry Kissinger, Nixon's trouble was that a small amount of drink would set him off and late-night threats of military action were made when the president was the worse for wear. When North Korea shot down a US spy plane in April 1969, an enraged Nixon allegedly ordered a tactical nuclear strike and told the joint chiefs to recommend targets. According to the historian Anthony Summers, citing the CIA's top Vietnam specialist at the time, George Carver, Henry Kissinger spoke to military commanders on the phone and agreed not to do anything until Nixon sobered up in the morning. By the early 1970s, Watergate was beginning to choke Nixon's presidency and the president was relying more on drink and sleeping pills to cope with the pressure. On the evening of 11 October 1973, he was incapable of speaking to the British Prime Minister Edward Heath on the phone. Heath was keen to discuss the latest developments of the Arab-Israeli War but a transcript of the conversation between Henry Kissinger and his assistant Brent Scowcroft revealed the president was too drunk to talk to the prime minister. Richard Nixon was a warning to future presidents on the danger of mixing hubris with drink. He is a reminder too of the awesome executive power a US president has when it comes to conducting foreign affairs. With no previous political or military experience, Donald Trump is unlike any incoming president. His hubris is clear to all and his (sober) stream of excitable tweets prove an impetuous temperament. Nixon's example might make us grateful booze is not in the mix too. But some of the most successful presidents found valuable perspective and balance at the bottom of a glass.",

Whiplash star Miles Teller, Shailene Woodley from The Fault in Our Stars and The Wolf of Wall Street's Margot Robbie are also up for the prize. The winner will be announced at the Bafta Film Awards on 8 February. The award, which is decided by a public vote, is not just for newcomers and can go to actors who have already appeared in a number of films. O'Connell, who was also seen in 2014 in prison drama Starred Up and Belfast-set thriller '71, said he was \"honoured to be considered... amongst such a talented field\". Mbatha-Raw, whose fact-based role in Belle saw her play a Caribbean slave's daughter raised as an aristocrat in 18th Century England, said she was \"delighted... to be recognised for a growing body of work\". Born in Australia, Robbie played Donna Freedman in Neighbours and had a lead role in the short-lived US series Pan Am. She was subsequently cast as Leonardo DiCaprio's wife in The Wolf of Wall Street, Martin Scorsese's film about notorious New York stockbroker Jordan Belfort. Teller plays an ambitious musician in Whiplash and will soon be seen as Reed Richards, aka Mr Fantastic, in superhero adventure Fantastic Four. Woodley was previously seen as George Clooney's daughter in The Descendants and starred last year in the dystopian fantasy Divergent, in which Teller also appeared.

The changes come into force on 1 April as a result of a revaluation of premises carried out by the government. Business groups and some Tory MPs have warned of high street store closures. As a result of the government's revaluation, ministers say three quarters of businesses' rates will either go down or stay the same - but ministers have faced calls for a rethink, with claims retailers in some areas could face rises of up to 400%. In a letter to Conservative MPs, Local Government Secretary Sajid Javid and Treasury Chief Secretary David Gauke said: \"This year's revaluation has been preceded by a series of reports claiming that rates are going to soar, that appeals are being banned and that hundreds of thousands of businesses will be forced to close. \"Such claims are simply untrue.\" Business rates explained The ministers said 2017-18 \"will see the biggest ever cut in business rates\" and \"three-quarters of all businesses, right across the country, will see their rates either fall or stay the same\". They said the \"misinformation circulating in the news\" meant it was \"understandable that business owners and lobby groups have raised concerns with many of you\", but they insisted the changes coming into effect in April were \"not something to be afraid of\". But speaking on BBC Radio 4's The World at One, Mr Neill, the Conservative MP for the South London constituency of Bromley and Chislehurst, said the government had \"swallowed a line\" from the Valuation Office Agency, the organisation that handles property valuations relating to tax changes, which was \"wholly out of touch\". He said high street shops in London and the South East would be particularly badly-hit, adding: \"I think that the concern is genuine and there are sensible things that the government can do to address this.\" Mr Neill said the \"cliff edge\" system should be replaced by a sliding scale and that businesses should be given more time to adapt.",

It comes after the company's former head of strategy said Tata \"has to find a way out\" of its UK steel operation. The UK government said it would continue to work with Tata. The Indian steel giant plans to sell its Netherlands-based operations, which raised concerns about the future of its Port Talbot and other British plants. Mr Narendran said: \"Last six months, Tata Steel Europe has been cash positive and neutral and hasn't got support from India. \"The UK operations are within sight of meeting the target of being self-sustainable. The mandate is to run without India's support.\" He also said although the UK government had already given some Covid-related financial assistance, it was not enough for the \"long-term\". \"The support we are looking for is a little more substantive and something more permanent, that will help us bring down cost of production and add value to the product mix. \"Or, help us over a period of time in making a transition to a greener facility.\" The UK Government said it \"remains committed to supporting a sustainable, long-term future for steel making in the UK\". 'Hope, not strategy' However, Nirmalya Kumar, Tata's former head of strategy, said the firm \"cannot keep taking 100 million-plus losses forever\" after the firm said it was to make its UK business \"self-sustaining\". Mr Kumar said Tata's \"self-sustaining\" idea was a \"hope, not a strategy.\" Tata Steel said it planned to sell the European arm of its business and keep the UK business, based mainly in south Wales, running without financial support from India. In the year to March 2020, Tata Steel UK made a pre-tax loss of £654m - before the coronavirus pandemic hit demand for steel. The company employs about 8,000 in the UK, with about half based at Port Talbot with most of the others around Wales. Tata has said it is in dialogue with the UK Government on \"potential measures to safeguard the long-term future of Tata Steel UK.\" Mr Kumar believes Tata is now \"impatient\" to solve the problem of its UK steel operation. \"I suspect until the Tata Group can't afford the losses, they will continue in this,\" Mr Kumar told BBC Wales Live. \"But sooner or later, they're going to have to find a way out because you cannot keep taking hundred million plus losses forever. \"If you ask me as a pure academic, dispassionate, I say, shut it down. \"But that's not taking the community into consideration, not taking the reputational hit on the Tata brand into consideration, not taking the lives of people impacted into consideration.\" Mr Kumar, who left when previous chairman Cyrus Mistry was ousted in 2016, said shutting the Port Talbot plant was not discussed during his time at Tata. \"The Tata group is, for better or for worse, a conservative group,\" he said. \"They care in the end a lot about the communities they are serving. So we never talked about shutting it down.\" Mr Kumar believe the company has three options - continue the status quo, sell the business or go into partnership with the UK government. Selling the UK-arm of the business could involve paying a firm to take it given the losses being made. However if Tata decides to \"keep taking the losses\" and using profits from elsewhere in the group, Mr Kumar said many shareholders ask, \"why are we bailing out these people in Wales, I've never been to Wales?\". In contrast, he said the problem of part-nationalisation is that UK taxpayers would ask \"why are you bailing out a rich Indian company?\". However working with the government could be the only \"long-term option\" for keeping the plant open. Mr Kumar said, during his time, the company wanted to work with the UK government on potential relief on energy cost, rates and potential investment to make the plant viable because of the size of the workforce. \"We had many talks with the governments and the talks did progress a little, but they never went anywhere at some level.\" Mr Kumar thinks the Tata leadership is now \"impatient to solve this problem\". Tata announced on Friday that Swedish firm SSAB had initiated talks over the acquisition of its Netherlands-based operations. The move would separate the UK and Dutch parts of Tata's business, which merged back in 1999, then as British Steel and Koninklijke Hoogovens. Wales' economy minister said the news was \"extremely worrying\" for Tata's 8,000 workers across the UK. Ken Skates said Tata Steel Europe chief executive Henrik Adam has told him the company is \"determined to find a sustainable future for operations here in the UK and to safeguard the workforce\". Plaid Cymru thinks the Welsh Government should take a stake in the Port Talbot plant and help it become a co-operative. Mr Skates has called for the UK Government to offer Tata \"significant\" support. Discussions between the company and the UK Government over a bailout have been ongoing for months. The UK government has said it is committed to supporting a \"sustainable, long-term future for steel-making in the UK\" and will \"continue to work with Tata Steel and other stakeholders as the company shapes its business strategy for the future.\"",

Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board will discuss the options in a report to the board on 30 January. The downgrade formed part of an agreement to centralise some health services in south Wales in 2014. More than 53,000 people responded to a public consultation on the plan - called the South Wales Programme - in 2013. While other parts of the plan have happened, the proposed changes to A&E departments have not been implemented. Interim chief executive Sharon Hopkins said service and staffing pressures meant the current set up was \"increasingly unsustainable\". She said staff had \"worked exceptionally hard\" to deliver emergency services across three sites - the Royal Glamorgan Hospital, the Princess of Wales Hospital in Bridgend and Prince Charles Hospital in Merthyr Tydfil. But in a statement Dr Hopkins added: \"Continuing and growing service and staffing pressures have meant that this situation is becoming increasingly unsustainable... and safe services cannot be maintained beyond the immediate short term without unacceptable risks to patient safety\". The report said an option to continue the current system should be \"rejected\", instead recommending two options. One would see the consultant-led service end, replaced by a minor injuries unit with nurses. The other would see consultants continue at the Royal Glamorgan Hospital during the day, and a nurse-led minor injuries unit would operate overnight. Local politicians attending a meeting with the health board on Friday were told the last full-time A&E consultant at the Royal Glamorgan Hospital would leave at the end of March, meaning services would be provided by locums from April. 'Terrible news' A statement on Facebook from Rhondda AM Leanne Wood said the situation was \"completely unacceptable\". The former Plaid Cymru leader added: \"The poor workforce planning from successive Labour health ministers means Wales has one of the lowest doctor to population ratios in Europe.\" Rhondda Labour MP Chris Bryant said either of the options proposed would be \"terrible news\" for people in the area. He said many would have no choice but to use public transport and mountain roads which were unreliable in winter. In a joint statement, Pontypridd Labour AM Mick Antoniw and MP Alex Davies-Jones said the proposal \"will be of concern to many\". They said: \"Robust A&E provision at the Royal Glamorgan is a critical component of health service provision to people in Pontypridd and the wider valleys communities and we are strongly opposed to any reconfiguration that results in a material dilution of A&E services at the Royal Glamorgan.\" Welsh Conservative health spokeswoman Angela Burns said: \"Just this week we have had the worst A&E results for the Welsh NHS and yet the Welsh Labour government are allowing this downgrade to go ahead. \"Surely, the Welsh Government should be looking at options to reduce the more than 6,000 people that wait 12 hours or more for treatment in A&E in Wales.\" The Welsh Government said: \"We expect the health board to work with its partners to consider options and agree a sustainable model of care for the future.\"",

            "input": "By Ali GordonBBC News NI The four-year-old labrador, who lives in Bangor, County Down, is a highly trained air scenting search dog. Max recently located a vulnerable woman who had been missing for almost two days in freezing conditions. It took him just eight minutes. \"His reward is a ball, that's all he's interested in,\" Max's handler, Ryan Gray, told BBC News NI. \"He has no idea that he's just saved a lady's life and will save more lives right around Northern Ireland.\" Max also regularly helps HM Coastguard teams on rescue missions, but he is not protected by law if he is attacked in the line of duty. Last month, Finn's Law - legislation that gives protection to service dogs and horses - was given Royal Assent. The new legislation means causing unnecessary suffering to a service animal is now an offence in England and Wales. It comes shortly after Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon announced Finn's Law would be introduced in Scotland. But it does not extend to Northern Ireland, meaning that an attack on Max would likely be treated as criminal damage, like breaking a window. Now more than 30,000 people have joined a campaign to change that. Finn's Law was inspired by German shepherd Finn, who was stabbed while trying to apprehend a man in Stevenage, Hertfordshire, in 2016. The dog was stabbed in the chest and head while protecting his handler, PC Dave Wardell, and did not let go of the assailant until reinforcements arrived. But while the 16-year-old suspect was charged with actual bodily harm in relation to wounds to PC Wardell, he faced only criminal damage charges over the injuries to Finn, which sparked calls for an amendment to the Animal Welfare Act 2006. Finn and PC Wardell moved Britain's Got Talent judge Simon Cowell to tears last month, when they appeared on the reality TV programme. And Ryan Gray, who works for HM Coastguard, hopes the extra media attention will help push Finn's Law through in Northern Ireland. \"The dogs are put in enough danger as it is in their day-to-day work without there being no law or legislation protecting them should anyone wish to hurt or attack them,\" he said. \"If I knew we had this law backing us, backing the dog and the work he does, it would put my mind at more rest when I know I'm sending him in to search for someone who could potentially be violent towards Max.\" If Finn's Law was introduced in Northern Ireland, it would cover attacks against all service dogs, including guide and assistance dogs. \"Finn's Law is not about politics. This is about putting right an unacceptable flaw contained within current legislation,\" said a spokesperson for Finn's Law Northern Ireland. \"It is immoral that the law does not protect those animals upon which we place so much demand and responsibility. These are animals who serve with such loyalty and dedication to keep us safe. \"Our service animals provide an essential support to the community.\"",

            "input": "Defence: By BBC defence correspondent Jonathan Beale On the face of it Jeremy Corbyn is no fan of defence. He is a pacifist who has spent much of his career speaking out against British military intervention in Northern Ireland, Iraq and Afghanistan. He was, until recently, chairman of the \"Stop the War Coalition\". But as Labour leader he is now having to accommodate the views of others, and even moderate his own; he now says he will wear a red poppy, as opposed to a white one on Remembrance Sunday. On matters of key defence policy though he is still at odds with much of his party. He is no fan of the Nato alliance or of the current military strategy to defeat so-called Islamic State. He has suggested he will not support expanding UK military air-strikes to Syria. On both these issues there appears to be room for compromise. The Labour leader is, so far, not imposing his will on others. That will prove harder when it comes to the vote, next year, on renewing Britain's nuclear deterrent. Jeremy Corbyn, a former leading light in CND, is opposed in principle to replacing Trident. Many in his party worry that position will be their undoing - just as it was for Michael Foot in 1983. Environment: By BBC environment analyst Roger Harrabin Beard, sandals, pacifism, vegetarianism… Jeremy Corbyn would look at home in the Green Party. In fact, he is frank about the need for Labour to attract environmentalists to help it back to Downing Street. Corbyn's views sit happily with what used to be called red/green politics. He distrusts nuclear. He instinctively dislikes corporations, fears the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (trade negotiations between the US and EU) and says Conservatives have allowed unsustainable exploitation of resources and people by protecting the interests of a rich few. He yearns for an energy system powered by renewables owned by communities, as many are in Germany. He would ban fracking. He wants a massive programme of home insulation to end fuel poverty and says new homes should be able to generate their own power. He wants children to connect with the countryside. Under Ed Miliband's leadership Labour sometimes seemed reticent of taking a strong environmentalist line, but this is already changing. Among Corbyn's team are Lisa Nandy (energy) and Kerry McCarthy (environment) and both have made strong speeches on climate. One big question: how far will the green love affair go? Some Greens would like an electoral pact. That would be a big move indeed for both parties. Housing: By BBC Home Editor Mark Easton Labour describes housing as its \"top domestic policy\" and, with the government's controversial Housing Bill due for debate later this year, the party leadership says the issue is its \"top legislative priority\" too. Labour has no formal policy position on housing as yet, but both Jeremy Corbyn and his shadow housing minister, John Healey, are known to favour a major state-funded building programme. A figure of 100,000 \"council houses\" a year by 2020 is being talked about, a return to the level of government house-building not seen since the 1950s and 60s. Labour sources tell me that increasing the supply of social homes, with rent levels below \"affordable housing\" and the private rented sector, construction costs can be recouped from the savings made in the housing benefit bill. It sees housing as a policy area in which it can mark out a radically different approach from the Conservatives. While the Tories enjoy much greater support than Labour among older home-owners, the Corbyn opposition look to be courting Generation Rent. Health: By BBC health correspondent Nick Triggle Compared to some areas, the Labour leader's approach to the NHS might be less radical. After all, it's a nationalised sector that already attracts significant amounts of public funding. Saying that, it's widely seen in the party as a weak spot for the government. Despite promises to increase the budget demand is rising so quickly that performance is suffering in many parts of the NHS - so expect to hear Mr Corbyn and his shadow health secretary trying to make political capital out of that. He has already spoken out against the involvement of the private sector in the NHS and floated the idea of a need to bail out trusts struggling to pay their PFI bills (accrued from using private money to redevelop hospital buildings). There are also likely to be some headlines - indeed there already have been - about his leaning towards homeopathy, which is only rarely available on the NHS because of a lack of evidence it works. Education: By BBC education correspondent Sean Coughlan Education policy under Jeremy Corbyn will be expected to be more old school than new Labour. There have been signals that academies, created in the Blair years and rapidly expanded under the coalition government, would be brought back into England's local authority education systems. It would be a symbolic departure from two decades of Labour modernisers. While Ed Miliband's Labour promised to cut tuition fees to £6,000, Mr Corbyn would go further and scrap them altogether and reintroduce maintenance grants. And Mr Corbyn has proposed a National Education Service that can help people improve their skills throughout their lives. The resurgent left will have a long shopping list of expectations on topics such as free schools, grammars, independent schools, tests, academy trusts, admissions, school autonomy, league tables, teachers' pay and Ofsted. But will there really be a return to old Labour and old battles? Or will Mr Corbyn want a new kind of education policy for his version of new politics? Transport: By BBC transport correspondent Russell Hotten Transport will be central to Labour's policy programme. Jeremy Corbyn wants to use it to \"stimulate the economy by increasing investment in new high speed rail, creating jobs and connecting more town and cities\". He plans to re-nationalise the railways \"line by line\", a proposal which seems to have a measure of support in the country. But details of how to re-nationalise, compensation, and investment have still to be worked out. That will be the job of Lilian Greenwood, Labour's new shadow transport secretary. The former shadow rail minister has been a strong critic of government rail policy, and is expected to support moves to decentralise more powers over transport to the regions. Where does this leave the huge high-speed rail project, HS2, linking London with the Midlands and North of England? Mr Corbyn and shadow chancellor John McDonnell voted against the legislation paving the way for the line, but the issue of whether to continue or cut the rail link is now under review. On that other great infrastructure project, a third Heathrow Airport runway, Labour's leader was pretty clear in the Financial Times last month, saying: \"I'd vote against it in this Parliament.\" There are, though, plenty of Labour MPs who support Heathrow expansion. Mr Corbyn has also promised to encourage cycling; a keen two-wheeler, he extols its benefits for health and the environment. Benefits and tax: By BBC personal finance correspondent Simon Gompertz Jeremy Corbyn and his shadow chancellor, John McDonnell, come into this conference with the clear intention to fight welfare cuts and shift more of the burden for dealing with the deficit onto companies and the rich. The new leadership has come out solidly against the benefit cap, while others on the shadow front bench say the party should be opposing the lowering of the cap to £20,000 a year per household (£23,000 in London), rather than campaigning against the principle of a cap. Corbyn's Labour would bring in higher income tax for the wealthy - not to 60%, it now appears, but there is still a debate to be had over whether a return to 50% would be right. Then there is tax on the City. The European tax on financial transactions - the so-called Robin Hood tax - is firmly favoured by the new leader. But Sadiq Khan, Labour's candidate for London mayor, is opposed to additional taxes on business. One thing they can happily agree on is that tax avoiders should be made to pay up. John McDonnell believes there is £120bn to be gained. Get that and the other problems might wither away. Foreign policy and Europe: By BBC correspondent Bridget Kendall Not everyone on Labour's shadow front bench shares their new leader's positions, and Mr Corbyn is ambiguous on some issues. But overall he says the country needs a \"radically different foreign policy\". His position on whether to stay in Europe or leave was not initially clear. He said he had mixed feelings, though he later clarified he would campaign for an \"in\" vote. He is opposed to the EU's planned TTIP trade deal with the US and says Britain should push for better working and social conditions. Mr Corbyn is opposed to \"military interventions\" on principle, including the \"disaster\" of the 2003 Iraq invasion. He says he will oppose any new vote in Parliament for airstrikes in Syria. Instead of military options, he argues the UK should use political tools and focus on reducing inequality. Hence his opposition to Nato membership or increasing defence spending - and his call to \"talk to everyone\", even groups prepared to use violence, like Hamas and Hezbollah. On Russia, the Labour leader argues the eastward expansion of Nato is also to blame for the Ukraine crisis, as well as Russia's violation of Ukrainians' sovereignty by taking over Crimea. Argentina has welcomed his suggestion that the UK should think of sharing sovereignty of the Falklands. And at odds with previous Labour leaders, he supports the idea of a united Ireland, a stand described by Unionists as \"unhelpful\".",

A petition to save the centre quickly passed 10,000 signatures. The council said it would be focusing on an \"alternative future model\" for Blairvadach. The centre was saved following the Scottish government's budget deal with the Scottish Green Party, which means an extra £95m will be given to local authorities. Chris Cunningham, the council's convener for education, said the council's £10.6m share of this money meant Blairvadach, in Argyll and Bute, no longer needed to close. However, he said the centre's future was \"not sustainable under present arrangements\". \"Simply saving Blairvadach for another year is not enough in itself,\" he said. \"It is showing its age and has suffered many years of underinvestment. The site requires significant investment running into millions of pounds to deliver a sustainable and viable future. \"We now have the time and space to explore alternatives to its current arrangements. What they may be is something we'll have to work through but we're already exploring what options are best to deliver the investment Blairvadach needs for both residential and outdoor learning.\" Following the announcement of the closure, the council said it wanted to focus on a \"Glasgow-based model\" and use the city's parks and outdoor spaces for outdoor learning rather than residential centres. However, the decision sparked a backlash from past users of the centre and outdoor education experts who said the model would not provide the same learning experience. Blairvadach was opened in 1974 and offers week-long residential courses for Glasgow pupils so they can experience activities like sailing, mountain biking, climbing and gorge walking. The courses are heavily subsidised so all pupils can attend. There are only seven council-run residential outdoor centres left in Scotland - down from about 70 in 1982. North Lanarkshire Council's Kilbowie outdoor centre in Oban is due to close this year as part of budget cuts. The council said it recognised the \"great experiences\" that pupils had at the centre, but said it was expensive to maintain and that reductions to the revenue budget meant the council subsidy for children to attend was \"no longer sustainable\".",

Amika George, founder of the #FreePeriods campaign, called the latest move \"fantastic news\". Children and families minister Nadhim Zahawi said: \"No-one should be held back from reaching their potential\". When Mr Hammond made the original announcement in his Spring Statement last month campaigners argued that it should also include primary schools. \"We're so glad that the government has extended this pledge to primary schools,\" said Ms George, 19, a student at Cambridge University. \"Period poverty should never be a barrier to education.\" The next tampon She said it meant that every student could go to school without \"worrying where their next pad or tampon will come from\" and could \"fully participate in lessons and focus in class\". Ms George began campaigning two years ago, while still at school, after reading about period poverty in the news. She described herself at the time as \"shocked\" to find out girls were missing school because of not having sanitary products. The campaign began with a petition and a protest outside Downing Street and this year Ms George helped spearhead a legal campaign, in conjunction with the Red Box Project and The Pink Protest. Girlguiding says its own research has suggested almost a third of 11 to 21-year-old girls and young women have missed school or college because of their period. Isla, also 19, and a member of Girlguiding's panel of advocates, called the figures \"unacceptable\", adding that \"giving primary school girls access to tampons and pads will help break the taboo of periods from a young age\". A Department for Education spokesman said officials would begin talking to school and college leaders on the quantities of sanitary products likely to be needed from early next year, and how best to deliver them. He said they were likely to be bought in bulk and distributed locally. Mr Zahawi added: \"After speaking to parents, teachers and pupils, we are now extending this to more than 20,000 primary schools so that every young person in all our schools and colleges gets the support they need.\"",

James Kramer, a TV executive, has travelled around the world exporting US formats. He got his break working with executives and writers in post-Soviet Russia for Sony Pictures Television. \"What [the Russians] had was great enthusiasm, but no experience,\" Kramer says. \"So they brought over several people, including me, to give the American technology - both the equipment and how to use it - and the creative technology of building a television writing staff and production centre.\" When Kramer first arrived in Russia, TV shows tended to be melodramatic soaps and \"telenovelas\" from Latin America. The American soap opera Santa Barbara was particularly popular. \"And I'd actually worked [on Santa Barbara],\" Kramer says. \"There were shows that I worked on like St Elsewhere and Moonlighting and things that'd won awards here, but they didn't know them. But Santa Barbara was, 'Oh my God! Maximum respect!'\" Kramer was hired by Sony Pictures to lead a two-week television writing course for Russian TV writers. \"My two weeks there ended up becoming six years, because they asked me to run the production office for Sony in Russia,\" says Kramer. Occasionally, he has also found himself on the small screen playing the American villain in a Russian drama. Among the many shows that Kramer helped to launch in Russian were versions of Ugly Betty and The Nanny, which writers from his two-week course ended up working for. He says Ugly Betty was challenging to adapt for a Russian audience. The original Colombian show centred around two brothers fighting to run a fashion design company that had been in their family for several generations. \"But, in Russia, there was no history of family business, because the Soviet Union had been there,\" he says. So the storyline had to be tweaked for the Russian experience. Russian writers made the brothers older and gave them a business manufacturing uniforms and wedding dresses - which were permissible under the Soviet system - that they turned into a private company in the 1990s. \"We had to give a sense of both pride and patriotism, of people who had taken something from Soviet times and improved upon it,\" Kramer says. Hear more Listen to the original radio broadcast on PRI's The World, a co-production with the BBC. It was important to do that \"as opposed to creating a new business, because in Russia the assumption is that anybody who had money got it by dark means\". There are many stories of how episodes of Ugly Betty - or Ne Rodis Krasivoy, meaning Be Not Born Beautiful - were adapted to become more Russian. During one episode, the main character, who has desperately been searching for a job, is finally offered one. In the American version, she jumps up and down, exclaiming with joy - in the Russian show, Betty bursts into tears. \"There was an executive from America from Sony who saw that moment and said, 'Oh my God, this is the happiest day of her life, why is she crying? And the Russians said, 'No, no, you don't understand. In Russia, people don't up and down and celebrate happiness. Happiness is a cause for tears,'\" Kramer remembers. But some things just don't translate, no matter what you do. When he was developing the Russian version of The Nanny, Kramer tried to introduce the concept of the live studio audience. Kramer invited about 40 people to the sound stage and instructed the Russian actors during rehearsals that they should hold for laughs. \"The actors came to the first joke, and dead silence. And then the next joke: Dead silence,\" Kramer says. \"We looked around the audience and these people were mostly older and they had absolutely no context or experience in what they were supposed to do.\" The Nanny did go on to become one of the most popular Russian sitcoms - but without live laughter: \"In the end we ended up putting in canned laughter like we did here in the 50s and 60s, and it worked,\" Kramer says.

Health Minister Robin Swann said confirmation of which groups will get the vaccine first is due next week. There will be dummy runs at various locations, but it has been confirmed the first administration of the vaccine will be on Tuesday morning. Mr Swann said there was \"a long journey ahead of us but we can be optimistic\". He added: \"Vaccinators will be the first to receive the vaccine, followed swiftly by priority groups. \"We are being guided on prioritisation by the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation. \"It has identified care home residents and staff and health and social care workers as priority groups.\" Distribution of the vaccine would be \"a massive logistical challenge\", particularly in terms of rolling it out in care homes, added the health minister. Another six people in Northern Ireland have died after testing positive for coronavirus, taking the Department of Health's recorded total of deaths to 1,032. Another 449 people have tested positive for the virus. In the Republic of Ireland six more Covid-19-related deaths were recorded, taking the country's overall tally to 2,086. Irish health officials also reported that another 265 people have tested positive. The arrival of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine in Northern Ireland is a massive box ticked. But it doesn't just magic the virus away and some people might see the vaccine as an excuse to forget about the restrictions. Given the existing two-week lockdown, the authorities anticipate that number of new infections will decline ever so slightly or remain stable until shortly before Christmas. But with more of us out and about and mixing they are sure to rise again. It is understood that if the so-called R-number can be maintained at 1.6 or below then intervention would not be required until the end of December or beginning of January. However, if it was to rise as high as 1.8 then intervention would be required, possibly at end of December. All of this depends on our behaviour and how closely we practice the Covid-19 guidelines. To vaccinate care home residents in Northern Ireland, 12,000 doses of the vaccine are required. The problem facing those responsible for rolling out the vaccination scheme is how to deliver it to care homes safely and effectively. It is thought the seven vaccination centres that have been earmarked, including leisure centres and hospitals, will be used to roll out the vaccine to those care homes which are located nearby. The vaccine must be stored at around -70C and will be transported in special boxes, packed in dry ice. Once delivered, it can be kept for up to five days in a fridge. On Wednesday the UK regulator the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) said the jab, which offers up to 95% protection against Covid-19 illness, is safe. It is thought Northern Ireland will receive about 1.5 million doses in total. The UK is the first country in the world to approve the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine for widespread use. Patricia Donnelly, who is leading the vaccine rollout programme in Northern Ireland, said the fact the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine had to be stored at a very low temperature and came in large packs meant it was more practical to take the people receiving it to larger centres. \"We hope that we will start to deploy it next week - we're aiming for early in the week but we can't confirm that until we have all our final arrangments in place,\" she told BBC Radio Ulster's Evening Extra. \"Because we don't have a limitless supply of the vaccine we're also looking at where our priorities are for this. \"Next week we have a definite plan to vaccinate the vaccinators.\" In other coronavirus related developments:",

It should also reverse the trend for closures to World Service language operations, the report said. That could include opening new stations for countries like North Korea. BBC News director James Harding said the need for the corporation to keep the public informed in an \"exciting, uneven and noisy internet age\" was \"greater than ever\". \"The BBC is going to have to think about how to deliver on its mission to inform beyond broadcasting,\" he said. \"It has a singular responsibility to provide the best quality global news coverage to people in the UK and audiences who sorely need it around the world.\" He said local news was suffering due to the decline of regional papers, at a time when devolution was shifting power away from Westminster. \"The BBC needs to consider how it can better serve people in the cities, the regions and the four nations of the whole of the UK,\" said Harding. The Future of News report attempted to set out how BBC News would meet future challenges. The report said the corporation must cater for a generation that does not watch, listen to or read news in traditional ways, and must cut through the \"noise\" online. \"The internet is not keeping everyone informed, nor will it,\" it said. \"It is, in fact, magnifying problems of information inequality, misinformation, polarisation and disengagement. Our job is keeping everyone informed.\" The internet has forced many major news organisations to make cutbacks, meaning \"vast swathes of modern life are increasingly unreported or under-reported\", it added. 'Failing' journalism That includes local news in the UK. \"It can be argued journalism is failing people where it matters most, namely where people live and work,\" the report said. \"Parts of the country are not properly reported; in others, public services and people in power are not effectively held to account.\" As a result, the report continued: \"The BBC is going to have to make the most of digital services, alongside radio and television, to ensure people have the information they need where they live and work.\" But publishers disputed the suggestion that local journalism had fallen short. \"Local journalism is not failing,\" said Santha Rasaiah of the News Media Association, which represents news publishers across the UK. She said local papers and their websites reached 73% of the population - \"bigger overall audiences than ever before\" - and were \"at the heart of their local communities, championing their readers, campaigning in their interests, changing the law\". She added: \"The industry has stressed repeatedly over many years that the licence-fee-funded BBC must not do anything that could damage the commercial independent news media industry and its ability to perform this vital role.\" The BBC \"has yet to deliver\" on promises to consider ways of working with local publishers, such as the BBC's purchase of local media content, she said. 'Less free expression' Meanwhile, the BBC's report said said the World Service \"faces a choice between decline and growth\". Five World Service language operations were closed in 2011. The BBC took over the cost of the World Service from the Foreign Office last April. \"If the UK wants the BBC to remain valued and respected, an ambassador of Britain's values and an agent of soft power in the world, then the BBC is going to have to commit to growing the World Service and the government will also have to recognise this,\" the report said. \"It will mean reversing the trend of closing language services and, with an eye to audiences of need, opening new ones.\" As well as \"looking at how we can develop a service that might work for North Korea\", the corporation is also \"increasingly reflecting on the position of the media in Russia and Turkey\", it said. The report added: \"In many parts of the world, there is not more free expression but less.\" Last July, Mr Harding announced plans to cut 415 jobs in BBC News as part of £800m efficiency savings following the freezing of the licence fee in 2010.",

            "input": "By Paul RinconScience editor, BBC News website Dogs are the most diverse animal on the planet - a legacy of thousands of years of selective breeding by humans. But they derive from wild wolves that were gradually tamed and inducted into human hunting groups - perhaps near Mongolia or Nepal. The findings come from an analysis of DNA from thousands of pooches, and are published in PNAS journal. Cornell University's Dr Adam Boyko and his colleagues studied 4,676 purebred dogs from recognised breeds, as well as 549 \"village dogs\" - free-ranging animals that live around human settlements. This latter group are the least studied, yet represent a crucial piece in the picture of modern dog diversity. \"The fact that we looked at so many village dogs from so many different regions, we were able to narrow in on the patterns of diversity in these indigenous dogs,\" Dr Boyko told BBC News. Dog domestication is the kind of event that could have taken place independently in different corners of the globe. But the DNA of modern pooches doesn't provide any support for this idea. \"We looked exclusively to see if there was evidence of multiple domestication events. And like every other group that's looked for that, we found no evidence of it,\" said Dr Boyko. \"It looks like there's a single origin, although there are clearly situations where there has been... a little bit of gene flow between wolves and dogs post-domestication.\" Confusing picture The researchers studied genes that are located close to one another on dog chromosomes. The patterns of these closely linked genetic markers allowed the team to pinpoint the domestication event to Central Asia. But several other teams have tackled the same problem, and have come up with widely differing results. Previous studies have variously hinted at an origin for dogs in the Middle East - perhaps scavenging the food waste of early farmers - in East Asia, and in Europe. The latest results are unlikely to resolve the argument, but Dr Boyko said that localising the origin of dogs could stimulate further research. One of these further lines of inquiry could be the analysis of ancient DNA from dog remains found at archaeological sites. This tool could help support or refute hypotheses about the role of Central Asia and other regions in the domestication of \"man's best friend\". Dr Peter Savolainen, associate professor at KTH - Royal Institute of Technology in Sweden, said the study had shown it was possible to find remote dog populations that had been unaffected by mixing with European varieties - a legacy of the era of colonisation. But he suspects the origins of domestication lie in East Asia, perhaps in southern China. \"Mongolia is technically in East Asia and Nepal is in South Asia... only a thousand kilometres from South China,\" he told BBC News. \"So we have a consensus that the origin is somewhere in this general region. But one important thing is that they do not have a specimen from China, so if they had, what would that have shown?\" Most researchers agree that dogs have been around for at least 15,000 years. But the reasons for their emergence remain opaque. \"There's no doubt they were hanging around [hunting] camps and becoming gradually more attuned to human life. The question is what was the first step for why that was happening,\" said Dr Boyko. \"It's tempting to ask whether it was something to do with hunting. I think it's clear that scavenging by wolves on human kills [of large mammals] could have been the driving force. He added that genetic changes in those wolves, that led to tameness, small body size and early age of first reproduction could have started the animals down an evolutionary course that was less compatible with a hunting lifestyle. \"They hitched themselves to us, which was a pretty good gamble as it turned out, because there are about a billion dogs in the world today and probably not even 10 million wolves.\" Follow Paul on Twitter.",

But what comes first, money or lives?\" At least 80 people are believed to have died after a huge fire engulfed Grenfell Tower in west London on 14 June. Cladding put on the building in 2015 is suspected to have spread the fire in the 24-storey block in North Kensington, which started in a fridge. Shortly after the blaze, the government ordered tests on cladding on all tower blocks in the UK. A number of high-rises, including in Cambridgeshire, London, Newcastle, Sheffield, Sunderland, Manchester and Salford, failed the tests. This included Canon Hussey Court. Mr Nolan remembers seeing the \"horrific events\" at Grenfell unfolding on television while he was on holiday in Turkey. \"Straight away I was thinking of my flat and what the future holds for me when I get back to the UK. \"When I got home I phoned up Salix, my home provider, and they tried to reassure me that everything they could do would get done as soon as possible.\" In the weeks that followed the Grenfell Tower fire, Salix Homes began removing cladding from its high-rise flats, including at Canon Hussey. But the housing association halted the work in July citing \"unclear government advice\". 'It's scary' Three months later, Mr Nolan and his neighbours are still waiting for action to be taken. \"I thought they were going to take it all off at that time but it's obvious with the insulation underneath they can't,\" he said. \"Nobody knows if [the cladding] is going to be off in six months or six years, we don't have a clue. \"So we're just in limbo and it's a frightening limbo to live in.\" Another Canon Hussey resident, who does not want to be identified, said she suffers from anxiety attacks and worries that she would not be able to get out in the event of a fire. \"My main concern is I would never be found, like them poor people, you know that perished. \"We're stuck in this and it's scary, it frightens me. \"This cladding really needs to come off. I don't understand why they won't take it off because other organisations are. Why are these not doing it?\" Salford City Council is one of those other organisations. As freehold owner of nine blocks in Salford which failed safety tests, it has already started to replace the cladding at a cost of up to £25m. But many private housing associations are yet to make plans to do the same. Salix Homes said it was now getting \"some clarity\" following government testing on the \"safest and most appropriate\" types of systems to replace the cladding with. The company said it was taking advice from \"technical experts\" and would carry out the work \"as quickly as possible\" but \"could not provide clear timescales\". Round-the-clock security, additional patrols and new fire alarms had already been introduced and safety was its \"utmost priority\", it added. A total of 32 tower blocks in Salford have been deemed unsafe after the testing, along with 30 in Manchester, two in Oldham, three in Stockport and six in Trafford. Salford City Mayor and head of the Greater Manchester High Rise Task Force, Paul Dennett criticised the government's response saying it was \"kicking things into the long grass\" by waiting for the outcome of the Grenfell Public Inquiry. \"These residents can't wait for that, they want solutions now, they want solutions yesterday...the government need to be providing some interim solutions for the blocks that have failed up and down the country,\" he said. 'Feel safe' A Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG) spokesperson said public safety was \"paramount\", which is why it commissioned fire safety tests and published guidance. Secretary of State Sajid Javid told the Commons in June that the government would try and assist local councils and housing associations which could not afford to remove failed cladding from tower blocks. But the DCLG spokesperson said, while local authorities can seek assistance, it is the responsibility of building owners to ensure their properties are safe and it's up to them to fund fire safety measures. Mr Nolan said he would only feel safe when the cladding was replaced. \"I love my Salford... I've finally got a home for 15 years that I'm proud of, so I don't want to move, I just want to feel safe.\" Inside Out North West is on BBC One in the North West at 19:30 BST on Monday 23 October and later on BBC iPlayer for 30 days.",

The 42-year-old from Congleton admitted the offences at Chester Crown Court on Thursday. Bogdan has been excluded from Royal Stoke Hospital and is subject to a GMC suspension. The cardio thoracic specialist was arrested at home in December 2017 by officers from Cheshire Police's Paedophile and Cyber Investigation Team. A search of his home discovered thousands of still pictures and cartoons and two videos depicting sexual child abuse, the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said. Further investigation proved he had actively searched for the images. Bogdan was charged with three counts of making indecent photographs of children, one count of possessing indecent photographs of children and one count of possessing prohibited images of children. Damion Lloyd, of Mersey Cheshire CPS, said \"In interview he tried to downplay the amount of images he had, claiming he had downloaded them in bulk and deleted most of them but it was clear that he was continually actively seeking out these dreadful images of abuse. \"He had no previous convictions and had a responsible job yet he risked all of that in the pursuit of these crimes.\" The medical director of University Hospitals of North Midlands NHS Trust, which runs Royal Stoke hospital, said the surgeon's work did not involve the care of children. Dr John Oxtoby said: \"Mr Bogdan is currently excluded from the Trust and is subject to a GMC suspension and on-going proceedings.\" Bogdan is due to be sentenced on May 24.

She is part of a campaign calling on the government to cut VAT to help mend the hair and beauty sector's finances. A survey of salon owners suggests that 56% are considering closing. The Save our Salons campaign group also estimates that nearly four in five will recruit no apprentices this year Any closures would harm the finances of women the most - almost 90% of salon workers are women. The group says there are 45,000 salons providing jobs for nearly 300,000 people. Losing skills Hairdressers and nail salons are set to re-open from 12 April along with many other retailers. But a long period of closure means they, like many businesses, have been racking up debts. Campaigners say their businesses operate on low profit margins of between 2-5%. \"We urgently need our VAT cut to 5%, the same chop in VAT enjoyed by restaurants and bars since July last year,\" she told the BBC's Today programme. Without help to rebuild their finances, businesses may find it preferable to close their doors, she said. \"We employ such a lot of trainees - where will we be in five years' time if we lose those skill sets?\" she said. Like many businesses, hers and others in the beauty trade have received government help, notably in the form of the furlough scheme, which has paid many staff wages while people have been out of work. \"Furlough has been fantastic but it's not free,\" Ms Ward said. Employers must still make national insurance contributions. Many beauty companies have been paying full rent during the lockdown, despite making little or no income. Most sales come from treatments rather than products, she said. Larger salons with lots of employees, big rents and high rates have particularly struggled, says Gina Conway, who owns three hair and beauty salons in London. She opened her first 20 years ago. Her salons have been closed for 238 days in the year since the first lockdown. \"Because hairdressers can't do takeaway or home visits or online haircuts we are all really struggling to cover our costs,\" she told the BBC. She still has to pay rent, insurance and utility bills. Support from her landlord has been mixed. One has offered a discount during the lockdown, one has not replied to her requests and one won't budge. \"I have a successful business and I plan on growing, I'm just holding my breath on what the government can do to help,\" she says.",

            "input": "Powys council has set aside the money from its reserves to tackle the inquiry, which is expected next spring. But it wants Welsh government help, saying the county deals with more wind farm projects than most councils. The Welsh government said it had given Powys over £130,000 to help it cope with wind farm applications since 2010. The council confirmed it had received the government money, but said it was not for funding public inquiries. It said planning inquiry costs were considerable and would be an additional burden on its budget at a time when it was under \"huge financial pressure\". Opposition to wind farms has grown in Powys since plans were unveiled to build an electricity sub-station in the county. Cefn Coch, near Llanfair Caereinion, was chosen as the preferred site for the sub-station in July. About 1,500 campaigners gathered at the Senedd in Cardiff Bay in May last year against the plans, which includes a corridor of pylons from 10 planned wind farms. The five public inquiries follow the council's rejection of large wind farm applications in Llaithdu, Carnedd Wen, Llanbadarn Fynydd and Llandinam, and a National Grid connection from Llandinam. Council cabinet member for planning and regeneration, Graham Brown, said as a consequence of the Welsh government's Tan 8 policy Powys had a higher proportion of wind farm applications than other authorities in Wales. The technical advice note (Tan) 8 policy was introduced in 2005 as guidance on wind farms. It allows councils to decide on wind farms up to 50 megawatts in size. Mr Brown said the authority had been \"forced to set aside £2.8m to fund legal action to defend the county council's interests\". He added: \"We are appealing to current governments both in Cardiff and Westminster to recognise this unfair situation and provide additional resources to councils like Powys who have been placed in this very difficult position.\" The council said more than 12 other wind farm applications were in the pipeline, so more public inquiries could follow. Earlier this week it rejected plans for two wind farms at Pentre Tump, near New Radnor, and Mynydd-y-Cemmaes near Llanbrynmair. 'Extra money' A Welsh government spokesman said: \"We have given extra money to Powys County Council to help it deal with the wind farm applications in the Tan 8 areas within their boundary. \"This support is for those schemes which are decided by the UK government. \"The UK government does not offer any extra resources to planning authorities in England, so Powys has access to more financial support than most other councils. \"It must be remembered that the decision to object to the wind farm applications referred to is entirely down to Powys County Council. \"They were aware of the financial implications when they decided to object to these schemes.\"",

But output in May was still 4.8% lower than in the same month last year. This is the first time the ONS has published monthly seasonally-adjusted figures for the sector. Construction, which along with services and manufacturing is one of the three main measurements of economic output, has long been the worst-performing sector since the recession began in 2008. Construction output has fallen 18.9%, compared with a 3.9% fall in gross domestic product (GDP) over the same period. Construction volumes fell to £23.7bn in the first quarter of 2013, its lowest level since 1999, says the ONS. 'Positive contribution' Howard Archer, chief UK and European economist at IHS Global Insight, said: \"It looks highly likely that construction output made a recently all-too-rare positive contribution to gross domestic product growth in the second quarter, thereby helping growth to strengthen and broaden from the first quarter.\" Housebuilders have been buoyed by the government's Help to Buy scheme, with Barratt recently reporting that its sales rate was up 17.9% in the first six months of 2013, and up 34.7% since the launch of the scheme in April. House prices have also shown signs of a sustained recovery, while a recent survey from the British Chambers of Commerce said business confidence was at a six-year high. \"Any positive contribution from the construction sector in the second quarter would feel like a bonus for the UK economy, given the sector's prolonged struggle\", said Mr Archer.

            "input": "By Iain WatsonPolitical correspondent, BBC News So in September a conference will be held to decide the rules of the game. In recent months, sometimes well beneath the radar, there have been tensions over who wields power in Jeremy Corbyn's Labour Party. The party has indisputably moved to the left - both in policy and in its leading personnel. Many on the left - such as Jon Lansman, the founder of the Corbyn-supporting campaign group Momentum - have backed a process of shifting power from elected politicians to grassroots members. But tensions have arisen over how much power should still reside with the party's big financial backers - the unions. Mr Lansman himself considered standing for the post of the party's most senior official - the general secretary. This, in opposition to a candidate from the country's biggest trade union, Unite. He later withdrew, telling the BBC he only wanted to ensure there was a \"proper process\". This was interpreted as code for avoiding a \"stitch-up\". And union delegates themselves were split over who to back for the post of vice-chair of Labour's ruling national executive only last month. Simmering tensions came closer to the boil in Wales in April. The more left wing candidate for deputy leader - Julie Morgan, widow of former first minister of Wales, Rhodri - was defeated by Carolyn Harris at the party's spring conference. The method of election was an \"electoral college\" that gave unions and elected politicians two thirds of the vote - while grassroots members had one third. So although she won more votes overall than her rival, Ms Morgan lost. While she accepted the rules of the contest, a \"one member, one vote\" (or OMOV) election would have secured victory. The rules for electing Labour's UK-wide leader were changed from an electoral college system to a OMOV under former leader Ed Miliband, but it was left up to the national parties in Scotland and Wales whether they would follow suit. And the current leader and First Minister of Wales, Carwyn Jones, who recently announced he would stand down in the autumn, now seems convinced that party rules need to change to reflect that it is now, in his words \"a mass membership party\". Many on the left have been calling for all of the power to be in the hands of the rank and file. A range of options will now be discussed - though MPs and Welsh assembly members are likely to see their influence diminish. But four big unions - not including Unite - are fighting hard to retain their say. Get news from the BBC in your inbox, each weekday morning In a forthcoming Radio 4 documentary series - The Long March of Corbyn's Labour - we examine both the opportunities and challenges for Labour in having a much expanded membership - two and half times bigger than in 2015. In an interview for the series, Mike Payne of the GMB union in Wales warned that weakening the union voice in a forthcoming leadership contest could have unintended consequences. \"The trade unions have always been the consistent body within the party that keeps it stable,\" he said. \"If you take away the voice of organised Labour then the party becomes a mile away from working people on a day to day basis and becomes remote.\" And those on the right of the party are concerned that rule changes will make a \"Corbynista\" successor to Carwyn Jones more likely. Darren Williams - a left-wing member both of Labour's national executive and its Welsh executive - insists changes are about more than faction-fighting. In an interview for the forthcoming documentary, he said: \"Some of the resistance to a One Member One Vote contest in Wales comes from people who assume that an OMOV system is more likely to favour a left-wing, pro-Corbyn candidate but I think there are arguments just based on which is the more democratic system.\" So the decision today to hold a special conference on leadership rule changes - as part of a wider \"democracy review\" - is, in part, a sign of a changing party. One where new and different tensions are emerging. Labour will hope the party will rally around its new leader in Wales. But there is no consensus on how that leader should be elected. A three part series -The Long March of Corbyn's Labour - will begin on Radio 4 at 20:00 BST on Monday 11 June",

            "input": "By Kevin ConnollyBBC News, Cairo On mine, some were fatalistic, others nervously pragmatic - one passenger told me he could not afford to change expensive, long-laid travel plans, however grim the news. Some were more openly apprehensive. Egypt sees itself as a regional power in the front line of a war against global jihadism and its strong-man President, Abdul Fattah al-Sisi, portrays himself as the hammer of political Islamism at home. Privately many Egyptians appear to worry that might make their country an obvious target for jihadists - the fear being that a long-bubbling Islamist insurgency in the Sinai Peninsula might escalate elsewhere in Egypt. You do not find those fears reflected in the mainstream media, which sees its role in Mr Sisi's Egypt as cheerleading for the state where possible and downplaying criticism when necessary. But the fears are nonetheless real - most Egyptians firmly support the idea that their country should be a strong regional power but there is a genuine anxiety about the price tag such a role might ultimately carry. Agonising wait For the relatives of the missing gathered at a Cairo hotel, the absence of concrete information must be almost unendurable. They now face a very personal and agonising search for answers that cannot really begin until the search for the bulk of the missing wreckage yields results. The Egyptian air force has now reported finding debris in the Mediterranean somewhere between 125 miles (200km) and 185 miles north of Alexandria. That is a start, but the task of recovery remains immense - this is a search not just for evidence of what caused the crash but for the bodies of those who died in it. The performance of Egypt's armed forces and intelligence agencies will be closely scrutinised. If the loss of flight MS804 turns out to be the result of a terrorist attack, as most Egyptians now assume, it will raise further questions about the quality of security surrounding EgyptAir operations. A competent and efficient process that quickly identifies who did it and how, may go some way towards restoring that reputational damage. Heightened speculation Alongside the mood of national mourning and a feeling that the grief of the passengers' families is widely shared here, there is also a sense that Egypt is once again the subject of hostile foreign scrutiny and part of the reaction in the media reflects a deeply felt resentment at any criticism. That has been reflected in part on social media where the Arabic hashtag \"I will only fly EgyptAir\" was created in the hours after the plane was reported missing. The defensive tone was also taken up by a television presenter who appeared on screen dressed in an EgyptAir pilot's uniform to decry criticism of the airline. He was careful to add, though, that he did not want to imply such criticism amounted to a \"conspiracy\". Conspiracy theories abound at moments of crisis in Egypt and they are particularly likely to flourish when there is a lag between speculation and concrete official information. No event creates those circumstances more starkly than the loss of an aircraft at sea, when there is a lag between the sort of speculation and interpretation which floods the internet and the dearth of hard, official information. There are now signs that the first evidence is being recovered but everything depends on finding the aircraft's black-box flight recorders which should include the details of its final, fatal moments. Nowhere is that evidence awaited more keenly than here in Egypt. There is sensitivity to outside criticism here but that is is vastly outweighed by a shared sense of shock and grief.",

Tests for A&E staff, paramedics and GPs are expected to follow, and later social care staff will be tested. It comes as the number of people who have died with the virus in the UK rose by 260 to 1,019 on Saturday. Latest government figures show there are now 17,089 confirmed cases in the UK. In Wales and Scotland, health workers are already being tested, while Northern Ireland's testing begins on Monday. Until now, only patients in English hospitals with flu-like symptoms were being routinely tested but this had led to concerns that without testing, many health and care workers would not know whether they were safe to return to work. Meanwhile, Scottish Secretary Alister Jack is the latest politician to announce he is self-isolating after showing mild symptoms. Prime Minister Boris Johnson, Health Secretary Matt Hancock and England's chief medical officer, Prof Chris Whitty are all self-isolating after testing positive for the virus. Mr Jack spoke in the Commons on Wednesday, sitting near to the PM and Mr Hancock, although they appeared to follow social distancing rules with spaces between them on the benches. Former Cabinet Secretary Gus O'Donnell said politicians needed to \"obey their own rules much more strictly\" on social distancing. \"They do need to learn a lesson from this,\" he told BBC Radio 4's Today Programme when asked about pictures from the House of Commons earlier this week which showed several members of the cabinet crowded near the Speaker's chair. The Mayor of Greater Manchester and former Health Secretary Andy Burnham expressed concern about the safety of politicians, saying it was \"very hard\" for people working in Westminster to maintain safe distances. Currently, about 6,000 people are tested daily, which the government wants to increase to 10,000 a day by the end of March and 25,000 a day by mid-April. In Wales, frontline NHS staff are already being screened for the virus, while Scotland said it was already testing some NHS staff but would increase tests. Testing in Northern Ireland is limited to patients and some health care workers, but it plans to increase testing to 1,000 a day from next week. The British Medical Association said the move towards testing NHS staff in England was \"long overdue\". \"For every healthy member of staff at home self-isolating needlessly when they do not have the virus, the NHS is short of someone who could be providing vital care to patients on the front line,\" the BMA's chairman Dr Chaand Nagpaul said. What are the tests for coronavirus? There are two main types of coronavirus test that are useful in fighting the epidemic: The antigen or \"have I got coronavirus now?\" test will tell you if someone is currently infected and risks spreading it to others. That's the one that is being used to check very ill patients in hospitals and will now be rolled out to NHS staff too. The antibody or \"have I recently had coronavirus\" test is not available to the public yet but Public Health England is ordering it in the millions and will distribute it as soon as they are confident about its accuracy. That would help tell us how many people got coronavirus with no or only mild symptoms. Both are vital to get a better handle on how to stop the spread of this deadly disease. The first of three new testing laboratories is expected to start operating over the weekend, initially processing around 800 samples, the government said, with the others opening soon. Samples will be taken around the country, initially focusing on coronavirus hotspots such as London. Dozens of universities, research institutes and companies are lending equipment for the labs. Analysis suggests the rate of infection in the UK has been doubling every three to four days, the government said on Friday. Experts predict further increases over the next two to three weeks, before the effects of social distancing measures and restrictions on everyday life begin to have an impact. It came as the government updated its guidance on leaving the house to exercise ahead of the weekend, urging people to use \"open spaces\" near their home where possible and to not travel unnecessarily. Meanwhile, guidance for health workers on personal protective equipment is expected to be updated within days, following calls for greater clarity. Mike Adams, from the Royal College of Nursing, said he was \"still getting inundated with messages\" from staff who were finding PPE was not available or in short supply or saying there was inconsistent messaging around when to use it.

More on this and other stories in Shropshire The NHS England letter, seen by the BBC, was sent to Mr Wright following the publication of the draft proposals, which have been criticised by bosses at Shropshire Council and Telford and Wrekin Council.

Leader Jeremy Corbyn - who has previously ruled out another EU referendum - has said he will respect the result of the vote. Sir Keir Starmer said earlier that the option of staying in the EU would be on the ballot paper in any future referendum if Labour gets its way. In his party conference speech, the shadow Brexit secretary said all options should be kept on the table, including a so-called People's Vote, to \"stop a destructive Tory Brexit\". But a senior Unite official said another vote would \"reopen the wounds of Brexit\" not heal them. Labour's policy had been to force an election if MPs are deadlocked over Brexit but members succeeded in getting a debate on getting a fresh referendum on to the agenda at the conference. Sir Keir told Labour activists if a general election was not possible \"then other options must be kept open\". \"That includes campaigning for a public vote,\" he said. \"It is right for Parliament to have the first say but if we need to break the impasse, our options must include campaigning for a public vote and nobody is ruling out Remain as an option.\" Please upgrade your browser Your guide to Brexit jargon Monday saw confusion over whether the leadership thought any fresh referendum should include staying in the EU as an option. Shadow chancellor John McDonnell said he thought any vote should be on the terms of a Brexit deal - rather than on remaining in the EU. But he later said \"all options\" were on the table - a point reinforced by Sir Keir. Labour - which wants the UK to remain in a customs union but not the single market - has not ruled out voting for any deal Mrs May brings back from Brussels, ahead of the UK's 29 March departure date. But Sir Keir said the six tests his party has set - including guarantees on workers' rights and retaining the economic benefits of existing market arrangements - were unlikely to be met. \"Some have said Labour could vote for any deal the Tories reach. Some have said we may abstain. Some have said we may vote for a vague deal,\" he said. \"So, let me be very clear - right here, right now: if Theresa May brings back a deal that does not meet our tests - and that looks increasingly likely - Labour will vote against it. No ifs, no buts. \"And if the prime minister thinks we'll wave through a vague deal asking us to leap blindfolded into the unknown, she can think again.\" 'Move on' But Unite assistant general secretary Steve Turner said any vote on the outcome of the Brexit negotiations could not be a re-run of the 2016 in-out referendum. \"Despite what Keir said earlier, it's a public vote on the terms of our departure,\" he said. \"We desperately need a better, fairer society - we need to heal the wounds of Brexit, not reopen them, and only our movement, united with a proud socialist government, is capable of doing that.\" The Labour Leave campaign group, which backed Brexit in the 2016 referendum, said Sir Keir was \"playing with fire\" and talk of a referendum made Labour look like \"the party of Remain\". \"We're damaging the Labour brand and alienating our supporters,\" said its general secretary Brendan Chilton. \"We have already had a vote on the UK's membership of the EU; it's been done and dusted. The Labour Party and its members must accept this and move on.\" The prime minister's Chequers plan, which would see the UK staying closely aligned to the EU in some areas, such as the trade in goods, has been criticised by EU leaders and many of her own MPs. The Conservatives accused Labour of \"playing political games\". \"Labour seem determined to take us all back to square one by rejecting a deal out of hand then trying to delay Brexit and re-run the referendum,\" said Brexit minister Robin Walker.",

A self-employed investment adviser and lecturer at Hong Kong University, he has been working from home full time since the Lunar New Year holiday as companies take measures to help prevent the spread of coronavirus. While he has been conducting video sessions with his students from his home office, he misses the face-to-face contact and networking. \"That's almost impossible now.

Millions of people have been working from home across China and further afield, as the government introduces more measures to contain the deadly virus. Many are enjoying the opportunity to spend time with their families or catch up with old friends online, and some are finding it a more productive way of working. Shanghai-based Henry Chang is a big fan of working from home and is using video conferencing tools such as Zoom and Google Meet to collaborate with his colleagues in the UK. \"It's quite good actually,\" says the China market manager for language learning site Lingumi. \"Without colleagues to chat around, you actually spend more time concentrating on work if you clearly know what needs to be done.\" His colleague Fan Yi is also enjoying working from home in the city, but has sympathy for those not so fortunate. \"I worry more about people who are impacted by this virus, especially people in Wuhan, after I read the news. I feel lucky to just be stuck indoors, compared to their panic and things they're suffering,\" she says. Work-life balance Rajashree Basu, who works at a language school in Wuxi, about 135km from Shanghai, struggled at first with the lack of contact with her students. But she too has turned to video conferencing tools and says they work well. \"Initially it was challenging, but now as time goes on, everyone is getting charged up as they see the digital platforms work and provide similar results to face-to-face classrooms. \"Sometimes I feel I'm able to get more done in this mode and give more support to students and teachers.\" Ms Basu is currently stuck in her home city of Kolkata, India, after returning during the Chinese New Year break. Her major issues have been internet usage, connectivity and working out time differences when calling colleagues. \"Setting a work-life balance while working from home sometimes is challenging as well,\" she adds. Chinese officials have told schools not to re-open until at least March, although Ms Basu fears \"it might take another extra month or so\".

Technology is playing a major role in helping him connect with his team so they can still hold meetings remotely. \"The positive thing about this working from home experiment is that it will help us to collaborate better and develop future strategies to work from anywhere for the company,\" he says. \"With the proliferation of faster internet through 5G, it will game-change the future of work.\" Another positive he sees from working from home is being able to spend quality time with loved ones. \"Besides my family, I keep myself busy with reading and reaching out to old friends that I haven't been in touch with for years. \"The extra time has definitely created an opportunity for families to be closer together and to catch up on lost time.\"",

It had also considered changes to the refuse collections by charging residents for brown waste collections and introducing some car parking charges. However, big projects such as the Council House refurbishment and the building of the new velodrome are still going ahead.

The EU has threatened retaliatory tariffs on US goods, including iconic products like bourbon and blue jeans. Canada and Mexico will be exempt from the tariffs initially, and Australia is optimistic that it too will gain exemption. Mr Trump has linked this to a new security agreement between the US and Australia, which already have close military ties. UK Steel says 7% of its steel exports go to the US, worth £360m. Mr Trump signed the measures on Thursday in a ceremony at the White House attended by steel and aluminium workers. There has been strong opposition to them from Mr Trump's fellow Republicans, who traditionally favour free trade. German Chancellor Angela Merkel has warned that no one will win a \"race to the bottom\" and said the tariffs risked \"hurting everyone\". Mr Trump says the measures will \"protect the American worker\" and fulfil a campaign promise.",

This research, in the Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, found signs of kidney problems in even otherwise healthy apple-shaped people. UK experts said people needed to take more care of their kidney health. The research, by a team at the University Medical Center Groningen, in the Netherlands, looked at more than 300 people who had either a healthy bodyweight. or who were overweight. They found that having a higher waist-to-hip ratio - seen in those who were more apple-shaped - was associated with lower kidney function, reduced kidney blood flow and higher blood pressure in the kidneys. This was the case even in those who were otherwise healthy. 'Growing problem' Arjan Kwakernaak, who led the study, said: \"We found that apple-shaped persons - even if totally healthy and with a normal blood pressure - have an elevated blood pressure in their kidneys. \"When they are also overweight or obese, this is even worse.\" The findings suggest that these individuals may benefit from treatments that reduce kidney blood pressure - such as cutting salt levels and targeted drug treatments. A spokesman for Kidney Research UK said: \"We understand already that central - 'apple' - obesity is associated with higher cardiovascular risk than peripheral - 'pear' - obesity. \"This demonstrates that the same is true for kidney disease.\" He added: \"This is further evidence that there is a link between obesity and the growing problem of kidney disease, and that more needs to be done to make people aware of the importance of protecting kidney function.\"",

The panel also recommended that equipment or parts made by Huawei and another Chinese telecom equipment manufacturer, ZTE, should not be used by government contractors. Canada's decision comes amid fears that sensitive communications networks could be used to collect the information and data they transmit. \"The government's going to be choosing carefully in the construction of this network, and it has invoked the national security exception for the building of this network,\" said Andrew MacDougall, spokesman for Canada's prime minister. \"I'll leave it to you if you think...Huawei should be a part of a Canadian government security system,\" Mr MacDougall was quoted as saying by the Reuters news agency.

It has spent the early part of this week reacting to the US claims and allegations, trying to limit the report's impact on its global business operations. Scott Bradley, a spokesman for Huawei Technologies Canada Co Ltd, said the Canadian government's latest move was unlikely to cause it problems. \"The national security exception only applies to foreign companies,\" he was quoted as saying by the Reuters news agency. \"Huawei is fully incorporated in Canada, and operates as a subsidiary Canadian company.

Ms Patel also said she had started a review into the policing of a previous London event for Ms Everard. Officers handcuffed and removed several women from Saturday's vigil in Clapham. Speaking from Monday's event in Parliament Square, Dominic Casciani, the BBC's home and legal correspondent, said there were \"far fewer\" police than there had been at Saturday's vigil, adding that officers had taken a \"hands-off\" approach similar to that seen during the Black Lives Matter demonstrations last summer. The Met faced widespread criticism for its handling of the Clapham vigil but the force's commissioner, Dame Cressida Dick, has rejected a call to step down. Four people were arrested for public order and Covid offences on Saturday, after crowds gathered on Clapham Common to lay flowers and pay their respects to Ms Everard, who went missing while walking home from a friend's house on 3 March. Her body was later found in woodland in Kent and Metropolitan Police officer Wayne Couzens, 48, has been charged with the marketing executive's kidnap and murder. On Monday evening, police began to move in on protesters in central London, after urging crowds to \"leave immediately\" or face \"enforcement activity\". Campaigners had marched from Parliament Square and through the Soho area chanting and waving banners. Protesters could be heard urging others to run and \"keep moving\", with traffic in the surrounding areas brought to a stop. A large police presence followed the demonstrators, along with police vans and motorbikes. Protests and vigils have also been held in several other UK cities over the past few days, including Cardiff, Edinburgh, Leeds, Brighton, and Liverpool. Speaking in the House of Commons, Ms Patel said: \"Mr Speaker, I would like to take a moment to acknowledge why Sarah's death has upset so many. \"My heartache, and that of others, can be summed up in just five words: 'She was just walking home.'\" The home secretary also confirmed she had instructed the police watchdog, Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary, to review the policing of Saturday's vigil. She said Ms Everard's killing had \"rightly ignited anger at the danger posed to women by predatory men and anger I feel as strongly as anyone\". However, she urged people not to participate in large gatherings or protests, saying that while the right to protest was a \"cornerstone of our democracy\", the government's duty was still to prevent more lives being lost during the pandemic. She stressed that the government had put in place measures to ensure women and girls felt safe, including tackling domestic abuse, female genital mutilation and upskirting. The Domestic Abuse bill is on track to receive royal assent by the end of April, she said, adding that it would \"transform our collective response to this abhorrent crime\". In response, Labour's shadow home secretary, Nick Thomas-Symonds, said: \"Let me be clear, it is not women who should change their behaviour, it is men and wider society that needs to change. \"And at times like this it is vital people are able to have their voices heard, of course in a way that is lawful and Covid-secure. Yet this weekend in Clapham things clearly went very wrong and I share the anger about the policing and the scenes we saw.\" He also accused the government of \"a chronic failure\" to address violence against women and girls, adding that \"meetings and reopening surveys are not enough\". Police took a hands-off approach at the main demonstration in Parliament Square earlier this evening. After that broke up, a few hundred protesters moved off and started randomly following a route through Westminster towards London's West End. At first they tried to sit down and occupy roads - including outside Scotland Yard - but every time they stopped, they were told by police they needed to move on because of Covid regulations. And so what began as a vigil in Parliament Square became a somewhat chaotic parade through Theatreland and the quiet, locked-down London streets. Eventually teams of police officers began trying to pick off stragglers, instructing them to go home in line with the lockdown rules - or face fines. Some left, some appeared to get tickets. They wanted to make their voices heard against these proposed police powers to curtail demonstrations. But the way they acted tonight is exactly the type of disruption that may in future be targeted. Following a meeting of the government's Criminal Justice taskforce on Monday evening, Downing Street said it would take \"immediate steps\" to give \"further reassurance\" to women and girls in the wake of Ms Everard's death. No 10 said it would be doubling the size of the Safer Streets fund - which provides local measures such as better lighting and CCTV - to £45m. Pilots of so-called Project Vigilant will be rolled out across the country - with uniformed and undercover officers working to identify predatory and suspicious offenders around clubs and bars at night. Prime Minister Boris Johnson - who chaired the meeting - said the government was bringing in \"landmark legislation\" to toughen up sentences and put more police on streets. He said: \"Ultimately, we must drive out violence against women and girls and make every part of the criminal justice system work to better protect and defend them.\" Labour's Mr Thomas-Symonds said replacing \"a tiny fraction of the cuts [the Conservatives] have made to local services is nowhere near good enough\". A spokeswoman for Reclaim These Streets, the group that initially organised the vigil, said they welcomed additional funding but did not believe funding alone would create the structural changes which were \"so important\". \"Women won't be able to trust that they are safe until misogyny and racism are tackled at an institutional level within government, police and the criminal justice system,\" she said. What are the rules on gatherings in England? On Monday, Reclaim These Streets said it had lost confidence in Dame Cressida after talks with her earlier, claiming that she left after 15 minutes. Anna Birley of the group told BBC News: \"To be honest, Cressida Dick has lost our confidence and the confidence of women in the capital. We didn't want to call on her to resign until we'd at least had a meeting and given her a chance to engage. \"We don't have great confidence in the Met Police's willingness to work with us, unless forced to.\" Reclaim These Streets called off Saturday's vigil, saying police had failed to \"constructively engage\" on how it could be held in a Covid-secure way. When people gathered anyway, the group pointed out that they did so without the marshalling and other safety measures that had been originally proposed. On Sunday, there were protests outside the Met Police's headquarters at New Scotland Yard, Downing Street and in Parliament Square.",

The Hammonds' lawyer has said that the family does not want the protesters' support, according to CBS News. The case has riled right-wing activists who resent government interference. They said they lit fires on federal land to combat invasive species and protect their land from wildfires. Those occupying the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge centre in Burns say they plan to stay for years and may use violence if police try to evict them. Local police said \"outside militants\" had seized the building, and that multiple agencies were working on a solution, the Oregonian reported. 'Alternative motives' Among those there is Ammon Bundy, whose father Cliven was involved in a stand-off with the government over grazing rights in 2014. Speaking to CNN, Ammon Bundy made no specific demands but said the action was aimed at helping locals \"claim back their lands and resources\". He said that the wildlife refuge had expanded at the expense of ranchers and miners. The incident is part of a decades-old conflict between ranchers and the federal government over the use of public land. Critics of the federal government say it often oversteps its authority over land use. At the scene: James Cook, BBC News On Saturday an unknown number of men took over the bird sanctuary on a snowy desert plain in Oregon. There is no sign of police officers and there has been no violence or negotiations. The militia men who seized the complex say they are prepared to stay for years. They have urged supporters to take up arms and join them to assert the rights of ranchers in the American west; rights which they say have been trampled by a federal government over-reaching its authority. The FBI said it was aware of the occupation and the sheriff has urged people to stay away from the building, saying multiple agencies were working on a solution. In an interview with the Associated Press news agency, Ammon Bundy's brother, Ryan Bundy, said the protesters' ultimate goal was to turn the land over to local authorities so that people can use it free of federal oversight. \"I understand the land needs to be used wisely, but that's what we as stewards need to do. A rancher is going to take care of his own ranch,\" he added. But despite the protest Dwight Hammond says he and his son plan to report peacefully to prison on Monday. His lawyers told Associated Press \"neither Ammon Bundy nor anyone within his group/organisation speak for the Hammond Family\". Harney County Sheriff Dave Ward was critical of the protesters and their motives. \"These men came to Harney County claiming to be part of militia groups supporting local ranchers, when in reality these men had alternative motives to attempt to overthrow the county and federal government in hopes to spark a movement across the United States,\" Mr Ward said in a statement.

They uncovered a honey in Gwynedd \"as potent\" as New Zealand's famed Manuka. The team is now setting up an urban honey-making scheme to see if it can be brought to market. Prof Les Baillie, of the university's School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences, said the joint study with the National Botanic Garden of Wales had created more excitement than anything else in his three decades in science. 'Amazed us' \"It's one of those projects that has amazed us as we have gone through. Every time we turn around we find something else quite cool,\" he added. The team discovered two hives in the garden of amateur beekeeper Chris Hickman, of Tywyn, Cardigan Bay, which created honey with as much antibacterial power as that from the nectar of the Manuka tree. \"Two hives will never replicate New Zealand's thousands of tonnes of Manuka honey a year,\" Prof Baillie said. However, by identifying the plants visited by the Tywyn bees, such as woodruff, the team may be able to increase production to a feasible scale. \"We're looking at growing those plants in various areas around Cardiff, including one on the roof of the St David's Shopping Centre, which already has its own bee hives,\" he explained. The university is looking for teams of students to produce and market the product. However, Mr Hickman, 55, a nurse, has a less scientific theory about what made his honey so powerful. \"My personal opinion is it was our low-intervention approach (to beekeeping). \"I don't get any honey more than a couple of times a year, I don't dictate what the bees are doing, I don't interfere with the hives like a lot of modern beekeepers do.\" Antibacterial qualities The university's project set out to find plant-based sources for drugs capable of fighting antibiotic-resistant infections, asking beekeepers from across Wales to send samples. Honey has been used for thousands of years to treat sore throats, wounds and infections, due to its bacteria-killing compounds. But the antimicrobial activity of any particular honey depends on the properties of the plants visited by the bees which made it. Cardiff University and the National Botanic Garden of Wales, in Llanarthne, Carmarthenshire, sequenced samples from 20 honeys with the highest antibacterial qualities and identified the plants which contributed. Prof Baillie said it was only possible because Wales was among the first countries to DNA barcode all of its indigenous flowering plants - 1,143 of them. The team now hopes both to extract the antimicrobial components from these plants and to synthesize them in labs. Drugs made from these could be used to fight superbugs, such as MRSA, and to treat wounds and infections.",

Organ-iser.... Ninety-year-old Beryl Waters recently retired as churchwarden at Rickinghall. \"In my teens I was a Sunday school teacher, that's where it all started,\" she said. She has also been organist at Rickinghall and plays for the two Redgrave churches, Botesdale Chapel of Ease and Hinderclay. \"I've always been an organist, I'm self taught. I've been playing here for 50 to 60 years.\" Lay reader Mary Carter is a retired teacher from Flowton. Her many roles include fundraising and flower arranging. \"You just get on with it, I enjoy doing it,\" she said. \"I was brought up in a family where everybody volunteered for things. \"We're lucky in our village, if you go and talk to people they say 'yes, I'll come and do whatever it is that needs doing', but we do need to fundraise every year to pay our way and keep the church beautiful.\" Money matters Mike Arbon has been involved in raising over £1m for restoration projects for St Peter and St Mary's in Stowmarket since the 1970s. \"It's a whole group of people who help and support me, it's a team effort,\" he said. \"We set up a restoration committee in Stowmarket in 1983. \"We tackled a variety of projects, it was the East window, and of course everything you start becomes more expensive. A £30,000 project becomes a £60,000 project. \"Then we went on to the tower and spire!\" Mr Arbon also plays the organ and leads the ecumenical Stowmarket Combined Churches Choir and this summer he will be hosting a couple from the churches' link diocese in Kagera, Tanzania. Volunteers' Week began in 1984 and is now run by Volunteering England, an independent charity that brings people and ideas together in a range of fields including health and social care, education, the arts, sport, and local community projects.",

            "input": "Nicholas Holgate said Local Government Secretary Sajid Javid asked for him to go - this is denied by the government. Mr Holgate said last week's fire in North Kensington, in which at least 79 people died, was \"heart-breaking\" but his presence would be a \"distraction\". Residents had condemned the initial relief effort as \"absolute chaos\". In a statement issued by the council on Wednesday, Mr Holgate, who has been in post since 2014, said it was the \"highest priority\" of the council to help families affected by the fire. He said the communities and local government secretary had on Tuesday \"required the leader of the council to seek my resignation\". However, a spokesman from the Department for Communities and Local Government denied involvement, saying: \"The appointment of chief executives is entirely the responsibility of the local authority.\" Mr Holgate said: \"Despite my wish to have continued, in very challenging circumstances, to lead on the executive responsibilities of the council, I have decided that it is better to step down from my role, once an appropriate successor has been appointed. \"There is a huge amount still to do for the victims of the fire, requiring the full attention of this council and many others. If I stayed in post, my presence would be a distraction.\" He added: \"Whilst the public inquiry and other investigations will get to the truth of the causes of this tragedy and the management of its aftermath, I strongly believe that councillors and officers have always endeavoured to have the interests of our residents at heart and will continue to do so.\" Nicholas Paget-Brown, the leader of the council, said it was with \"regret\" that he had accepted Mr Holgate's resignation. He said: \"The council has been grief stricken by the tragedy of the Grenfell Tower fire and has sought to provide the greatest level of support we can to victims. \"That is a huge challenge and Nicholas has led from the front in seeking to do this.\" Shadow housing secretary John Healey told BBC Breakfast that Mr Holgate was \"right to go\". He added: \"He had to go. His council went awol in the days after this terrible fire - at a time when the victims, survivors, those families still looking for their family members who were missing, needed help on the ground and, above all, someone to reassure them and coordinate the relief and help efforts. \"The council were nowhere to be seen when I was down there the day after the fire - he had no option and he was right to go.\" 'No alternative' Since the fire on 14 June, some Grenfell Tower families have been staying in hotels and B&Bs, and there were concerns that more permanent housing would be offered in other parts of the country. And residents have said that Kensington and Chelsea council provided little support or information. Government staff and other London boroughs were drafted in to help with relief efforts in the wake of the fire, with humanitarian assistance being provided by the west London borough of Ealing. The Justice4Grenfell campaign group welcomed Mr Holgate's resignation. The group's spokeswoman, Yvette Williams, told the Press Association: \"He wasn't left with any alternative, I think it was the right thing for him to do, the community had been completely abandoned by the local authority.\" The council's £8.6m refurbishment of the tower has also faced questions, with suggestions that new cladding fitted during the refurbishment could have made the blaze worse. The refurbishment will be one issue looked at by a full public inquiry into the fire, ordered by Theresa May last week. The PM, who is among those to have faced criticism after she failed to meet survivors in the immediate aftermath, has apologised for \"State\" failures after the blaze. She is expected to make a statement about the fire in the House of Commons on Thursday. She told MPs on Wednesday: \"People were left without belongings, without roofs over their heads, without even basic information about what had happened, what they should do and where they could seek help.\" And the government announced that 68 social housing flats in Kensington Row, about 1.5 miles away from Grenfell Tower, would be made available to survivors. The funeral of 23-year-old Syrian refugee Mohammed Alhajali, who was among the first victims of the fire to be named, also took place on Wednesday. His family, who arrived from war-torn Syria, and Mayor of London Sadiq Khan attended the ceremony, called a Janazat, at an east London mosque.

Star Trek director JJ Abrams will begin the new cycle of movies with Episode VII, from a script by Little Miss Sunshine writer Michael Arndt. Star Wars creator George Lucas sold his film production company Lucasfilm to Disney last year for $4.05bn (£2.5bn). The latest announcement was made by Walt Disney Co chairman Alan Horn, at the annual movie theatre convention CinemaCon in Las Vegas. In February, Disney announced that alongside a new trilogy, a series of films built around existing characters from the Star Wars universe were in development. It is rumoured the first stand-alone film could focus on the diminutive Jedi master Yoda. The spinoff films will be written by Lawrence Kasdan and Simon Kinberg. Kasdan worked on the scripts of The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi - the second and third instalments of the first Star Wars trilogy while Kinberg is best known for his work on X-Men: The Last Stand and Guy Ritchie's hit reboot of Sherlock Holmes, starring Robert Downey Jr. 'Bad feeling' Fan reaction to Disney's announcement on social networks and film websites have been mixed. \"Ridiculous\", tweeted The Mail Man, \"I've got a bad feeling about this,\" remarked Kurt Brookes, using one of the film's famous lines. \"New Star Wars every year? My kids are overjoyed,\" said Bryan Hitch. Writing for Forbes magazine, Carol Pinchefsky, said: \"The Twitterati are already concerned that there will be a Star Wars overload, that the movies will be \"force marched\" out as fast as Disney can make them. \"After all, Disney isn't typically known for pumping out entries in a franchise this rapidly (Pirates of the Caribbean notwithstanding).\" The original Star Wars film, released in the UK in 1977, starred Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher and Harrison Ford as they took on the evil Empire \"in a galaxy, far, far away\".

The so-called 'caravan tax' caused controversy when it was first unveiled in the 2012 Budget at a rate of 20%. Treasury officials said the measure was designed to address a 'tax anomaly' - which meant VAT was levied on touring caravans, but not on static caravans. The caravan industry lobbied against the introduction of VAT on static models and the rate was eventually reduced from 20% to 5%. Impact of VAT Andrew Percy was one of a number of Conservative MPs to oppose the 'caravan tax'. The MP for Brigg and Goole said: \"Obviously it would be better if it was 0%, but the industry was perfectly clear at the time that 5% would have a limited impact, if any.\" The British caravan industry is centred on Hull and the East Riding of Yorkshire, where 95% of models are produced. The managing director of Victory Leisure Homes, Peter Nevitt, claimed it would be difficult for manufacturers to absorb the extra cost of introducing VAT. Mr Nevitt said: \"Anything that increases the retail selling price of the caravans is hard to take. The 5% VAT is something we could have done without.\" Holiday park sales Thousands of static caravans are bought and sold at holiday parks in coastal towns across the UK. Park bosses fear the introduction of VAT could deter many static caravan owners from trading in their old models. The manager of Skegness Water Leisure Park, John Chappell, said: \"If you buy a new caravan and decide later you want to sell it, then there will be VAT payable on the used caravan as well as on new sales.\" The caravan industry was hoping for a last-minute bounce in sales before the introduction of VAT. However, many holiday parks claim the freezing spring weather deterred would-be buyers from purchasing new static caravans over the Easter holidays.",

            "input": "On Sunday, more than 20 rockets were fired from Gaza into southern Israel, causing some damage. Overnight, the Israeli military struck what it called PIJ \"terror targets\", including weapons development and training facilities near Damascus. PIJ said two fighters were killed in Syria and vowed to avenge their deaths. Gaza's health ministry reported that four Palestinians were wounded in the territory. On Monday, the Israeli military carried out further air strikes on PIJ targets in Gaza, after at least 14 rockets were launched from the territory into southern Israel. The hostilities escalated on Sunday morning, when the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said it had killed a PIJ militant near Israel's border fence with the Gaza Strip. The IDF said troops identified two men attempting to plant an explosive device on the fence and opened fire at them. A video shared widely on social media showed an Israeli bulldozer scooping up the body of the man, provoking anger among Palestinians. The IDF said it removed the body in a way that prevented further danger to its troops. But some Palestinians called for retaliation and hours later, several barrages of rockets were fired from Gaza towards southern Israel. The IDF said 26 rockets were launched, 13 of which were intercepted by the Iron Dome missile defence system. Israeli media reported that one home and one car were damaged, and that two civilians were treated for mild injuries in Ashkelon - one woman who tripped and hit her head while running to a shelter, and another woman who suffered from shock. PIJ claimed responsibility for the rocket fire, calling it a response to the killing of its fighter at the border fence. On Sunday night, Israeli fighter jets carried out retaliatory strikes on PIJ targets. The IDF said the targets in Gaza included the group's headquarters in the southern city of Khan Younis and storage sites in neighbouring Rafah. In Syria, a base used by PIJ to develop new weapons and produce tens of kilograms of rocket fuel each month was struck, according to the IDF. The IDF also said it hit a PIJ squad preparing to fire rockets from northern Gaza. Syrian state media cited a military source as saying Syrian air defences intercepted the majority of the Israeli missiles fired towards the surroundings of Damascus shortly before midnight on Sunday. The source did not mention any casualties. But PIJ later confirmed in a statement that the air strikes in Syria killed two of its members, naming them as Salim Salim and Ziad Mansour. The group said their \"deaths will be avenged\" and that the attack was \"proof of the Israeli failure to deal with Islamic Jihad fighters in the battlefield\". The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a UK-based monitoring group, said four members of Iran-backed militias were also killed in the Israeli strikes in Syria. On Monday morning, another 14 rockets were fired into Israel. The IDF said 12 of the rockets were intercepted, but one hit a children's playground in the southern Israeli town of Sderot. In response, Israeli forces struck more PIJ targets in Gaza, including a base in Khan Younis used for training and weapons storage that featured underground infrastructure. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned the militant group that controls Gaza, Hamas, to stop the rocket fire or face a wider conflict. \"If you don't shoot them, we will shoot you. I'm talking about a war,\" he told Army Radio. \"I only go to war as a last option but we have prepared something you can't even imagine.\" The UN Special Co-ordinator for the Middle East Peace Process, Nickolay Mladenov, also called for rocket firing to stop, warning that it \"only risks dragging Gaza into another destructive round of hostilities with no end in sight\". PIJ subsequently announced a unilateral ceasefire. A statement said the group had completed its \"retaliation\" for the Israeli strikes but that it would respond to any further \"aggression\". PIJ, which is backed by Iran, is one of the strongest militant groups in Gaza. In November, an Israeli air strike killed a senior PIJ commander who the IDF said had undermined efforts to broker a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas.",

In the email, which he sent to colleagues, the 51-year-old said the ENO's \"plan for the future is one that the board and chief executive have always known I cannot support\". \"As hard as I have tried to argue to maintain what I believe to be the fundamental pillars of our identity, I have failed to persuade others of this necessity,\" he said. \"I believe in efficiencies that increase our value for money and do not lose the opportunity of performing the highest quality opera to the largest number of people.\" Wigglesworth has been a regular at the Proms since 1991, conducting works by composers including Olivier Messiaen and Richard Wagner. ENO troubles His departure comes after a series of troubles at the English National Opera. In February last year, the Arts Council of England cut the ENO's core funding to the company by £5m as it dropped the company from its national portfolio of organisations for 2015-18. Two months later, the ENO announced it was cutting ticket prices in an attempt to secure its financial future. Earlier this year, the company asked members of the chorus to move from a 12-month to a nine-month contract. The proposal led to the ENO chorus voting to strike over the changes, which they said amounted to a cut in pay. The chorus said it would not appear in part of a performance of Akhnaten at the London Coliseum as part of the strike action. The ENO argued at the time that it risked bankruptcy if the proposed changes were not implemented. The pay dispute was later resolved and the strike action called off.",

Most analysts had forecast a quarterly growth of about 0.7% and an annual expansion of close to 2.6%. Australia's economy has also been hurt by a global slowdown which has seen its mining boom wane recently. \"It looks like household consumption has probably been the main disappointment in the actual quarter,\" said Su-Lin Ong, an economist with RBC Capital Markets. \"It very much confirms the idea of an economy that is running around sub-trend pace and has a number of challenges,\" she added. 'Not good enough' Australia's economic growth over the past few years has been powered by the success of its mining sector. Booming demand for its commodities from emerging markets such as China and India helped the country wade through the global financial crisis. However, a recent slowdown in growth in those economies has impacted the sector and as a result Australia's overall economic growth. At the same time, despite efforts by policymakers, non-mining sectors of the economy have not grown fast enough to offset the slowdown in mining. Treasurer Joe Hockey said the latest growth numbers were \"not good enough to deliver the jobs that people want\". Michael Blythe, chief economist at Commonwealth Bank of Australia said: \"The economy looks like it's still stuck in first gear.\" \"Mining investment is coming off, maybe not as quickly as people have been worrying about, but it's that growth transition, the pick-up in the non-mining side, where the evidence is still mixed,\" he added. Growth boost? The numbers come just a day after Australia's central bank left its key interest rate unchanged at a record low 2.75% The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) last cut the rate in August, when it lowered borrowing costs by 0.25%. On Tuesday, the bank said \"the full effects of these decisions are still coming through\". Some analysts suggested that if growth continued to remain weak, the bank may be prompted to cut rates further to try to boost the economy. \"The RBA is obviously reluctant to cut further, but if you've got sub-trend growth and very well-behaved inflation, there's got to still be scope to move if necessary,\" said Ms Ong of RBC Capital Markets.",

This was the American Midwest, and the only lesbians I'd heard about with children had usually given birth to them in a previous, heterosexual relationship. My girlfriend and I, however, had had to start from scratch. Ever since we'd met we had dreamed about having kids together. We decided on four and together we chose their names. The next step was more difficult. My girlfriend suggested her brother-in-law could help. He was receptive, but I took a gay and lesbian legal rights course offered by the college of law at my university, and quickly gave up on the idea of a known donor. Courts had been known to give them custody rights, calling their gift of sperm an act of parenting. When birth moms died, children were removed from their homes to be placed with men they barely knew. Luckily, we discovered a sperm bank that shipped right to our home, where the anonymous donors signed paperwork that legally barred them from ever seeking custody of the children they helped create. Because I was writing a doctoral dissertation at home, I would carry the first baby. We matched the donor to my partner - who was by now my wife - choosing someone of average height and weight who had studied literature, had wavy brown hair, and liked sports. The donor listed his profession as a writer, musician, and taxi driver. My wife and I romantically imagined he was refusing to get a desk job, but instead collecting the stories of those he'd pick up in his cab, readying to write the Great American Novel. Find out more Jessica Share spoke to Outlook on the BBC World Service You can listen again here There was little additional information on the donor, but the rudimentary health history that donors complete assured us we knew a lot more than we would have ever gotten from a casual boyfriend. We never saw a picture. Getting pregnant at home was fascinating - a home science experiment that I took seriously. Sperm supplied to buyers rarely tops half a lip-balm cap of liquid and it comes nestled in a 3ft-tall liquid nitrogen tank with an overnight shipping return label. Gloves are required for extricating the tiny plastic vial, which first sits on the counter and then warms to body temperature in the hand. The local pharmacist can supply a tiny syringe to use to inseminate. Because things that have been frozen aren't as robust as their fresh counterparts, revived sperm live just a single day. If an egg is not waiting for them, they will die. Getting every last sperm as close to the egg as possible became a solemn monthly ritual. I would inseminate twice, just to cover the entire possible window an egg might be waiting. After all, it takes five full hours to even swim the length of a uterus. I learned this, along with every fact I could related to using donor semen to conceive. Seven months later I was pregnant with our first child and my wife and I were overjoyed. I told my grandparents that we were expecting. My grandmother gasped, \"Oh, it's due in June!\" and my grandfather asked curiously about artificial insemination. We gave hardly a thought to the donor that we assumed we would never meet. My wife was particularly hostile to the idea of ever letting our children know him - she felt that love made a family, and I agreed. But we paid homage to his literary genes by reading thousands of books to our gestating bookworm. When Alice was born, she was perfect. All thoughts that the particularity of the DNA wasn't important went out the window. We agreed that we should clone this incredible being we had created with our love. We ordered sperm from the same donor and repeated the whole process, my wife giving birth to our second daughter when Alice was 18 months old. Both girls shared plenty of traits. Knowing how my wife and I looked as children, it became a fun pastime to pick out the characteristics only the girls shared: they were both extraordinarily tall, not average height, as the donor claimed to be. Both had long, thin mouths, small noses, electric eyes that look like emeralds under water, and impeccable vocabularies. But when the girls were one and three years old, my wife declared she was ending our relationship. There had been no conflict in our family, so I was shocked and heartbroken. She said she did not want to talk about it and there was nothing I could do to repair our marriage. I continued parenting the sisters five days a week for a few years. But when Alice was 10, my ex-partner blocked Alice on her phone, cut off all contact with her, and refused to return her younger sister following a vacation. This remains the case today. On my ex-wife's side of the family, Alice's grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins haven't so much sent her a birthday greeting in two years. Alice spends her days dreaming of the sister she was raised with and who she is afraid she will never see again. Alice knows more deeply than most children that family is neither genetically created nor forged through parenting alone. Parenting did not make her mama stay. And although genetics was a small piece of what her family looked like for a decade, that also seemed like an unimportant part of who she was. However, Alice wondered where her ancestors came from. My mother had often told stories about the family's Cornish heritage to anyone who would listen. Wanting to know what her genetic heritage was, Alice requested a DNA testing kit from her grandmother for Christmas when she was 11 years old. The results came back about eight weeks later. I clicked on the DNA Relatives section of the site, not thinking anything would come of it. But the first thing I read was, \"Aaron Long: 50%. Father.\" \"Bryce Gallo: 25%. Half-brother\" was right behind. Of course, I had known this might happen, but it hadn't seemed likely. Before writing a note on the site, I searched for Aaron online to see what I could learn. There are a lot of Aaron Longs in the world, so I set to work finding \"the one.\" I searched a professional social network for clues. Squinting at each Aaron Long, I wondered if I would recognise the donor right away. One of the sperm vials listed the date of donation (1994), which helped narrow down birth and college graduation years. There was just one man with a master's degree in literature in the correct age range, with the name Aaron Long. In his photo, he was wearing an olive-green silk turban and blowing a trombone. His profile said he was employed as a \"communications specialist\" and placed him in Seattle. A writer and a musician. On another social media site, I discovered a Seattleite named Aaron Long with the correct workplace and with photos of each of his school portraits through the years. There was no doubt. My daughters make that stupid face. I quickly wrote a message to him on the DNA testing site. It read: Hi Aaron, I actually have two daughters who'd match you (my ex has my youngest daughter; she's not on the DNA testing site). If you're interested in trading family photos, etc., we're available. I used the \"curiosity hook,\" thinking he'd have to write back to see pictures of my youngest daughter. Aaron wrote back immediately, sharing details I already knew from my sleuthing. He asked if I had any questions for him, and I asked if he was the shortest person in his family. I already knew the answer. He was. We agreed to become friends on a social networking site and Aaron sent a 50-page long life history, which I devoured. He'd spent several years in a band in the town where we lived. How many times had we walked past him in the supermarket, I wondered? I also wrote to Bryce, who had just graduated college. He told me he found Madi, a 19-year-old half-sister, and had also been in touch with other parents. He said there were a total of six children from Aaron, and that mine were #7 and #8. Bryce told me he had been raised with a little sister, but perhaps Madi, an only child, would be interested in developing a relationship with Alice? Alice had to be cajoled into writing her life story for Aaron, and getting to know her DNA relatives is only mildly exciting for her. She is grieving the loss of her sister. I try to tell her she has a special job of guarding these people, getting to know them, and keeping them for her sister when she is able to meet them. However, she would rather have her sister. A few months later, Bryce and Madi made plans to visit Aaron in Seattle. Alice was interested to see whether the siblings and Aaron resembled her. I agreed to let her take part. Aaron hosted a party to which he invited multiple housemates, friends from elementary school, high school, and college. All of his ex-girlfriends, and their new partners and children, were invited. They would all camp on the roof and celebrate meeting his biological children. I quickly learned that Aaron does not have a single friend he wouldn't welcome back into his fold. We visited the local sculpture garden, played a \"nature or nurture\" game that illuminated some shocking similarities, and took a road trip to an arts festival. In spite of Bryce's initial protests, he and Madi vied for Alice's affection. During the vacation when they met, all three went out to grab dinner. Alice came back with ice cream from one and pizza from the other. Later, Bryce mailed her a star of David. Madi sent an amethyst. Both are symbols of the different things she has in common with each. I had been dating a man for a few years who is also named Aaron David, with a similar last name. On our vacation, donor Aaron flirtatiously suggested there had been a mix-up at the Bureau of Boyfriends. I smiled and demurred. I was already in a relationship and was conscious that donor Aaron was an important person to my kids, but not someone who should necessarily be part of my own life. I didn't want to spoil it for them. When my relationship with old Aaron ended, I found myself wondering if my children's person could also be my person, and if Seattle was a place for us to land while we figured it out. Aaron's kindness and continued connection with his exes convinced me that it would be safe to give it a chance. One night, we walked the neighbourhood and sat in a local cemetery, talking about DNA, what the kids were like, and what our dreams were. When heterosexual people meet and date and get married, they often look with devotion at one another and think it would be wonderful to have little people who look like both of them. I'd already spent a decade with those little people. I spent my first date with Aaron relaying their lives to him. I already knew him and knew he was just like these people I love more than anyone else in the world. He was already family in some ways. His smirk and his colouring are those of my youngest daughter. His empathy and socialism? My eldest. It's hard to tell if DNA played a role in our relationship. I know that I am attracted to Aaron for all the reasons that seemed wonderful when shopping for him in a sperm donor catalogue years ago. He is thoughtful, persistent, and academically-minded. He is enchanted by words. He is empathetic, versed in stories about people and the strange things they sometimes do. He doesn't much care what's expected of him. He often plays his own music. To his own drum. Sometimes in a turban. How many people think a cab-driving musician and writer is the ideal genetic material? Alice and I moved into Aaron's co-op in summer 2017. It's such a large building that there was plenty of room for another of Aaron's bio-kids to move in. Madi, originally from the east coast, found Aaron's (and Seattle's) right-brained left-wing personality endearing and moved out this spring to live with all of us. We've even joined a Girl Scout troop with another of Aaron's bio-kids who is the age of my youngest daughter and lives about an hour away. I quickly discovered that as a mom, I would gladly take any of our new half-siblings right inside, make them lunch, do their laundry, and take care of them forever. They are the siblings of my children, the genetic aunts and uncles of my grandchildren. I don't parent them, but I feel inexplicably drawn toward feeding them. Some are the spitting image of Alice. Others resemble my youngest daughter. They don't all look like Aaron, but they undeniably resemble one another. Aaron's ageing mom has also moved in, along with her cat, Bill. Down the hall, Alice and I got a kitten. By making a family in all these new ways through the years, I've learned more about what family means than anyone would want to. DNA has become far more important than it was when I first picked a donor from a page. Yet it hasn't replaced the truism that families are built on love, not genes. Being open to that love is what ultimately makes a family. Everyone can be welcomed and stay in the fold. There is room for many different kinds of relationships. Who knows how many more of Aaron's bio-kids there are - he's estimated there could be as many as 67. The building may eventually cease to accommodate all of them, but I've got the sandwiches, and the door's open. All stills provided by Jessica Share.

            "input": "By Judith BurnsEducation and Family reporter BBC News The Intergenerational Fairness Index suggests the prospects of younger people have \"nose-dived\" since the start of the financial crisis in 2008. The index uses official statistics to compare different generations' stakes in key areas from income and employment to housing, pensions and education. Co-author Angus Hanton said the plight of younger generations was clear. \"The index shows that poorer young people are financing richer old people as our society grapples with demographic change and increasing longevity.\" The authors, from the Intergenerational Foundation, co-founded by Mr Hanton, focus on nine indicators they believe most affect young people's lives and outlook - unemployment, income, housing, pensions, health, education, government debt, the environment and participation in democracy. Their stated aim is to show \"the degree to which younger people in our society are at an advantage or disadvantage\" and how much \"future generations will be impacted by the ways in which we live our lives today.\" They used official data from 1990 to 2011, excluded the effects of inflation and population growth and compared how much different generations put in and what they will get out. 'Rapid deterioration' They used the figures to create an aggregate of how the balance between the generations has changed over the past 20 years. They say the situation worsened by 28 points between 2000 and 2011 with a particularly rapid deterioration since 2008. Some measures showed an improvement. For example in 2010 a greater percentage of national income was spent on education than at any time since the mid 1970s - but the authors say the prospects for young people overall are poor. The report states: \"Whilst government borrowing and pension debt have increased steadily, there has also been an increased shift in favour of the older generation through higher charges for education, rising youth unemployment and high housing costs. \"This index highlights... the increasing problem of poorer young people financing richer older people.\" The authors say recent government changes for example to the financing of higher education in England as likely to shift the balance further away from younger people. Angus Hanton said: \"They now face an average £42,000 of debt from university, the prospect of long-term unemployment, record rent demands and now the abolition of housing benefit.\" He called for benefits to be cut fairly across the generations: \"Let's talk about those benefits that go to everyone over 60 years of age, irrespective of wealth - winter fuel allowance, free bus passes and free prescriptions.\" Paul Johnson director of the Institute for Fiscal Studies said: \"The broad statement that young people have had it worse during the recession is true in all sorts of measures. Unemployment rates for the under-25s have risen steeply while this is not the case for the over-30s. \"The over-40s have been able to continue spending as before but the spending power of the under-30s has gone through the floor as their incomes have fallen and they try to save to buy houses. \"Poverty among the under-25s continues to rise with the poorest now no better off than their counterparts 40 years ago... the worst-affected have been those with low levels of education from poor backgrounds who are not going to be supported by the older generation.\" Liam Burns, president of the National Union of Students said: \"The issues affecting young people today already affect many poorer older people too. \"Pushing parents into poverty disproportionately impacts on the young people they care for and denying older generations access to education cuts the aspirational link that springboards their children to continue studying. \"Any intergenerational rebalancing needs to be underpinned by understanding rather than obscuring the huge and growing socio-economic inequalities in our society. \"We should be looking to find common cause across the generations, not advocating a race to the bottom where the poor, whether young or old, continue to lose out.\" A government spokeswoman said: \"We want every young person to have an excellent start in life. Education is the surest route out of poverty and our reforms mean that many more children will receive the world-class teaching they deserve. \"Tackling youth unemployment remains one of our key priorities. We have launched a £1bn youth contract which includes a wage incentive for employers to hire young people and an extra 250,000 work experience placements over the next three years. \"We are also helping young people improve their skills through pre-employment training by expanding the Apprenticeships programme.\"",

            "input": "By Bharat BhushanAnalyst US secretaries of state are not known to waste time promoting sisterhood unless it serves American interests. In July 2011, Mrs Clinton paid a similar visit to J Jayalalithaa, the chief minister of Tamil Nadu. In both instances, crucial foreign policy issues were on the agenda. Ms Banerjee has claimed that Mrs Clinton did not raise the issue of water sharing between India and Bangladesh on the Teesta river or foreign direct investment (FDI) in multi-brand retail in their meeting. However, the US secretary of state had made her views on the twin issues very clear in a televised public interview in Calcutta a day earlier. She was not unaware that the two initiatives of the Delhi government had been scuttled by West Bengal's chief minister. Ms Banerjee is also the head of the Trinamool Congress party, a key ally of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's coalition. Weak centre With the Tamil Nadu chief minister last July, Mrs Clinton had also discussed a foreign policy issue - finding ways of putting pressure on Colombo for the rehabilitation of Sri Lankan Tamils displaced by the war against the Tamil Tigers. The Americans seem to have recognised that certain foreign policy issues cannot be pushed with a weak central government in Delhi alone. They can see that there are domestic political compulsions which affect Indian foreign policy and sometimes they may require massaging the egos of regional satraps to push it in the desired direction. There are other instances of how foreign policy issues get shaped by the local agendas of certain states or regional political leaders. The Tamil Nadu cabinet passed a resolution against restarting work on the Koodankulam nuclear power plant - stalled by anti-nuclear protesters - knowing full well that it would impact on Indo-Russian relations. Later, Chief Minister Jayalalithaa was persuaded to change her stance. The price she is believed to have extracted was to get India to vote against Sri Lanka at the UN Human Rights Commission on the Tamil rights issue. Regional Tamil party DMK, a coalition partner of the central government, also pushed Delhi to vote with the US on the Sri Lanka resolution - although up to then India had always made a virtue of not voting on any country-specific UN resolution. Up north, the Jammu and Kashmir state legislature of Indian-administered Kashmir occasionally discusses walking out of the Indus Water Treaty with Pakistan as some Kashmiris consider it an unfair treaty. These are instances where the states have had to be brought on board on issues which impinge on India's relationship with foreign countries. Up to a decade ago, these would have been seen strictly in the domain of the central government. After all, the Indian constitution places foreign affairs - defined as \"all matters which bring the Union into relations with any foreign country\" - in the Union List, meaning states can exercise no power over it. That does not seem to be the case any longer. 'Ham-handed US' One cannot draw an unequivocal conclusion that all foreign policy is being hobbled by the states as there is a large domain of foreign policy which continues to be pursued by the centre without any state opposition. However, it is equally true that when a foreign policy issue affects a state's interests, especially where it undermines the strong ideological positions of a regional party in power, the centre can no longer afford to ignore their views. However, what happens when foreign powers start making tentative approaches to the regional leaders directly? The Teesta water sharing treaty and FDI in multi-brand retail are not issues that specifically refer to US interests. FDI in multi-brand retail is not solely an Indo-US issue - there are a number of European countries which are also waiting for the policy change. If the head of Walmart or Carrefour were to meet officials from the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) or the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI) on the issue, nobody would object. However, if the US secretary of state starts leveraging her weight to ram the door open for FDI in multi-brand retail, then even those who think it is a genuinely good idea will stop favouring it. Ham-handed US diplomacy in this case is likely to be counter-productive. If Americans blatantly push their agenda on FDI in multi-brand retail with West Bengal, they also stand in danger of being seen as disregarding the constitutional distribution of powers between the centre and the states in India; and undermining the position of the Indian prime minister. It is the prime minister's job to push the policies of his government and not that of the foreign minister of another country. The inability of the centre to push its foreign policy or economic agendas reflects its incompetence in handling its allies and other regional parties. However, that is a domestic matter and does not justify tolerating foreign forays in India's internal affairs - even if these have foreign policy implications.",

On Monday night, Boeing confirmed it would halt production of the plane, which was grounded after two crashes that killed 346 people. Around 400 of the 737 Max jets have been delivered to airlines around the world since the first one rolled off the production line in 2017. But Boeing had orders for more than 4,000 of the planes, which cannot be delivered because of the global grounding. Boeing employs more than 2,500 people across 65 sites in the UK. Just last year, the planemaker opened a £40m factory employing 75 people making parts for planes including the 737 Max. Boeing has said it will temporarily assign other roles to its own employees who are affected by the shutdown in production of the 737 Max. But that may not be as easy for Boeing's direct suppliers who employ 21,000 people in the UK, where the planemaker spent £7.6bn between 2015 and 2018. One of those suppliers is Aeromet International, which makes parts for planes including the 737 Max. The firm's chief executive, Howard Kimberley, told the BBC that the firm has had \"ample time\" to slow down production after the 737 Max was grounded by regulators. \"We're in a wait-and-see mode at the moment,\" he said. But he said Aeromet's workforce had not been impacted by the slow down in production and he expected that other firms would redeploy workers into other areas of their businesses. \"Whilst we're clearly waiting for further news and updates from the Boeing Company I think in the short term I don't expect there to be any significant change in manning and the supply chain.\" Peter Bruch, a director of the Midlands Aerospace Alliance, which represents the region where a lot of plane parts are made, said Boeing's decision would send a \"shock wave\" through the UK aerospace sector. He said the decision to suspend production of the plane in January would see demand for parts fall to nothing with very little notice for suppliers. That will have a \"very dramatic\" impact on cash flow for those firms he said and he noted that it could lead to job losses. However, he said workers who had been laid off would not struggle to find other work in the sector, which is struggling with too much demand - rather than too little.

This is the challenge the BBC's Newsnight has set four political commentators, giving each a different election outcome and asking them to envisage what might happen if the results came true. Here, they imagine how the political landscape may change given such fictional scenarios: Rafael Behr, The Guardian The scenario given to Rafael Behr sees Labour gain 20 more seats than the Conservatives, with the Lib Dems down from 57 MPs in 2011 to 25 in 2015. In the early hours of Friday 8 May it looked as if David Cameron might still cling on - after all, it is his right as the incumbent to have first go at putting a government together. But the arithmetic was against him. Tory backbenchers were already talking openly about joining UKIP. Boris Johnson, the newly elected MP for Uxbridge, said David Cameron had been \"neutered by numbskulls and the numbers\". And it was true - by the end of the day the prime minister had resigned. Two weeks passed between election night and the moment Ed Miliband stood on the steps of 10 Downing Street. He had negotiated what he called \"an alliance for change\" - not a formal coalition, but an agreement in principle by the Liberal Democrats, Greens and Scottish Nationalists to support a \"progressive government\" on a case-by-case basis. This was an arrangement newspapers started calling \"suck it and see\", while the Independent ran the headline \"Green there, done that!\", as the Green's MP for Brighton Caroline Lucas was offered the role of climate secretary - announcing an immediate moratorium on fracking. For the SNP, renewal of the UK's nuclear deterrent, Trident, was put on ice. So, if the alliance held, Miliband would have a majority of 29. But it didn't. Since Labour took just 31% of the vote - second to the Tories on 35 - newspapers started referring to the new government as the \"League of Losers\". Soon there were demonstrations, and on social media badges appeared saying \"We are the 69%\" - the percentage of people who had never even voted for Miliband. Nick Clegg stood down as Lib Dem leader to accept a role as chair of a new Constitutional Convention, but he soon clashed with Foreign Secretary Douglas Alexander when he claimed relations with the EU as part of his new job. SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon threatened to withhold support for a Labour budget when Chancellor Ed Balls refused to consult her on spending in Scotland. Newly chosen Conservative leader Boris Johnson tabled a no confidence vote and called for MPs to end the \"mathematical monstrosity of moribund Mili-minority\". The Lib Dems split, the SNP abstained and in the end it was 30 despairing Labour rebels who brought their own government down. Under the Fixed-Term Parliaments Act, the parties have a fortnight to hold negotiations on a new coalition. Otherwise, there's a second election. Quentin Letts, Daily Mail The scenario given to Quentin Letts sees the Conservatives and Labour on an equal footing, with the SNP gaining 45 seats. Yes, Labour's collapse in Scotland had been predicted, but it was still a jolt to see Alex Salmond standing alongside Prime Minister Ed Miliband in the Downing Street garden that May morning. The deal? A Scottish independence referendum for the SNP. And for Labour - power. Deputy Prime Minister Salmond - now Westminster leader of his Edinburgh-based party - looked very much the senior partner alongside a blinking, stammering Miliband. And here was the big question now dominating politics: Who runs Britain - England or the Celts? A mini-coalition with Plaid Cymru, the SDLP and Sinn Fein made the SNP kingmakers. They were never going to side with the Conservatives. The end game for the SNP remained the break-up of the UK, but some nationalists feared going into coalition with Labour would dilute their identity as separatists. A source close to Mr Salmond described the wider goal - infuriate the English so much that they want to end the union. \"Nats the way to do it,\" ran the Scottish Sun. Full of bravado, Mr Salmond swaggered up Downing Street and announced outside the door of No 10: \"It was the Jocks wot won it.\" Interrupting Ed Miliband at the press conference, he said: \"The English bossed us around for 300 years, now it's our turn.\" At an occasionally violent rally in Wembley stadium, the Tories - led by Theresa May - and UKIP demanded a referendum on English independence. The Queen begged English voters to \"think very carefully\" about any breakaway. Financial markets were jittery. Meanwhile, from Dover House - Whitehall residence of our new deputy PM - there came the sound of bagpipes, Scottish reels and the melodious baritone of Alex Salmond. Isabel Hardman, The Spectator The scenario given to Isabel Hardman sees UKIP gain 6 MPs, while the Conservatives amass 17 more than Labour. UKIP's ability to secure six seats on the green benches was a feat unimaginable not all that long ago, and in the early hours of that May morning chaos reigned. Tory backbenchers weren't happy, and the drawn-out nature of the Conservative-Lib Dem negotiations had left David Cameron's critics with plenty of time to launch their own campaigns against him. Nick Clegg's demand for 50% representation on the Quad - the top decision-making committee in government - took up five full days of horse-trading alone. After three weeks, we finally had a government. Cameron insisted that all members of his Cabinet appear on TV to put their names to the new agreement. What helped them was the bloody ejection of Ed Miliband after Labour's abject failure. The new king? Chuka Umunna. \"Over the Umunna,\" ran The Mirror's front page. \"Red Ed Dead,\" went The Sun. And Guardian polls showed Nick Clegg's popularity was still not getting any better. The knives were sharpened for Clegg, but after surviving a botched leadership bid from Vince Cable he once more became deputy prime minister as the Lib Dems ended up with 10 ministers. Clegg continues to chair the cabinet committee on home affairs, which he uses to block all policies he doesn't like. But this isn't a coalition governing by majority. It is a minority government, relying on UKIP to deliver budgets and other key votes. The price for that? A 2016 EU referendum. No-one expects it to last very long or produce much in the way of big reforms. But unless all the parties involved in government vote to end it, the Fixed-Term Parliaments Act means the lifeless Con-Lib government - propped up by the kippers - lurches on. What this strange new government will achieve while it lasts is anyone's guess. But if you thought the last government ran a zombie Parliament, just wait until you get a load of this one. Helen Lewis, New Statesman The scenario given to Helen Lewis sees Labour lead the Conservatives by 23 seats, while the SNP amass four more than the Liberal Democrats. By the morning of Friday 8 May, Ed Miliband knew that either the Lib Dems or the SNP could deliver him enough seats to pass a budget. So should he go tartan, or yellow? Trying to dodge a hungry press pack, it was over a sausage and egg supper at an M1 service station that Alex Salmond and Mr Miliband met to thrash out a deal. But as the Labour leader emerged from the rendezvous it was clear that the SNP's leader at Westminster was asking for too much. Miliband wouldn't give up Trident, and he refused to strengthen his rivals by giving them even more tax powers in Scotland. So he moved on to a dinner date with Nick Clegg. There was plenty for their parties to agree on - Lords reform, higher property taxes, votes at 16. The sticking point was the men's frosty personal relationship. There was only one thing for it - Nick Clegg sealed the Lib-Lab coalition, and promptly fell on his sword. This meant a rather steep elevation for former party president Tim Farron, who went from backbencher to Lib Dem leader and deputy prime minister in one fell swoop. Elsewhere, in the defeated Tory party it was all-out war. Backbenchers rounded on their leader and the shadow cabinet imploded. \"Eton Mess: Tories turn on one another\" was the Telegraph's headline. As David Cameron returned to Oxfordshire to stick the kettle on, Boris Johnson took on Theresa May for the party's leadership. After a bruising battle, Boris emerged victorious - but his reign over the Tory party only lasted six months, until the Mirror's astonishing scoop over his unfortunate incident with the bicycle pump in the nunnery. Ed and Tim embarked on a somewhat familiar feeling programme of sweeping changes - another NHS reorganisation, withdrawing benefits from migrants, tough cuts to get the deficit down. And so, within a year of the 2015 election, the new Tory leader George Osborne was facing Ed Miliband across the despatch box. As the Labour leader blamed the new economic crisis on \"the mess we inherited\", voters wondered whether anything had really changed at all. Analysis: Allegra Stratton, BBC Newsnight Political Editor George Osborne likes to quote Lyndon B Johnson's first rule of politics: It's \"practitioners need to be able to count.\" These days I have a lot of conversations in Westminster's Portcullis House that go like this: \"The Tories lose 30 seats to Labour, get 15 off the Lib Dems and lose one to UKIP - which puts them on 290ish. Labour lose over 20 to the SNP. \"Lib Dems get 30 seats, go back in with the Tories - that equals 320. With the DUP's 8 MPs they are over the magic 326 [the number of MPs needed for a majority].\" The next conversation runs the numbers another way entirely: \"Labour win 50 seats off the Tories and 15 from the Lib Dems...\" and so on. A Beautiful Mind it isn't, but it's still more maths than Marx. It remains possible that between now and the general election - some 100 days away - there is a march back to the mainstream. That one of the two main parties breaks away from the other, with closer to 40% of the electorate planning to vote for them than 30%, as the public start to form a firmer idea of which they'd like to run the show. But we aren't there yet. Opinion polls show Labour and the Tory party edging along next to each other - crowded around a 32%, 33%, 34% low-water mark, only yielding each of them around 290 seats. So how to get over 326 MPs - or 323 if you factor in that at the moment the five Sinn Fein MPs don't take their seats? Opinion pollsters agree that if the polls stay where they are, three parties - not just two - may be needed to form a majority government.

But an appeal from the HS2 Action Alliance (HS2AA), concerning the environmental impact, will be heard by the Court of Appeal on June 10. The government said it will \"continue to defend any challenge\" in the courts. HS2AA, which represents more than 70 affiliated groups and residents' associations and a golf club, claims there were failures in the consultation process and in assessing the high-speed link's environmental impact. Its claim was one of the nine points brought by protesters that was thrown out in the March ruling by Mr Justice Ousely. The sole successful legal challenge concerned the way in which the property compensation consultation for HS2 had been carried out. This part of the consultation is now being re-run. It concerned the £16.3bn first phase of the rail project. HS2AA has raised the necessary £100,000 to appeal against the High Court's ruling. Its director Hilary Wharf said today: \"The British public have joined the NAO and Major Projects Authority and are putting their hard-earned cash up to hold the government to account for their incompetent handling of this white elephant.\" Supporters of HS2 says it holds massive future benefits for the economy but critics have suggested these have been over-estimated. A Department for Transport spokesman said: \"The judge was firm in dismissing these challenges and the government will continue to defend any challenge in the Court of Appeal. \"It is unfortunate but inevitable that opponents of HS2 will do what ever they can to delay the government's plans, but the government remains committed to delivering HS2 as quickly as possible.\" The court challenge comes after the Cabinet Office published its Major Projects Authority's annual report which showed ministers' assessments of high-profile schemes. The HS2 project was one of 23 schemes to be given an 'amber/red' status indicating ministers had their doubts. A recent National Audit Office (NAO) report has also questioned the business case and the funding for HS2.",

Early in his career, vice President-elect Mike Pence opposed same-sex marriage and appeared to advocate diverting government funds away from HIV treatment in favour of gay \"conversion therapy\". His spokesman recently denied this, telling the New York Times that Pence neither \"supported or advocated\" the practice. More recently, he signed into law a controversial Religious Freedom Restoration Act. Critics argue the law discriminates against the LGBT community by allowing businesses to refuse service over religious beliefs. Under national pressure, he later signed an amendment stating businesses could not discriminate against gay people, drawing criticism from conservatives who said they felt betrayed by the revision. There have also been concerns over the appointment of Jeff Sessions as attorney general. The Alabama senator opposed lifting a ban on openly gay people serving in the military and voted in support of banning same-sex marriage. Role model? Lady Gaga has long been an advocate for the LGBTQ community, and spent part of last week's Thanksgiving holiday visiting a shelter for homeless LGBTQ youth in New York. The star, who campaigned stridently for Hillary Clinton during the election, also protested outside Trump Tower when the results were announced last month. But she accepted that not everyone would see her as a suitable spokesperson on US politics. \"I've done a lot in my career,\" she said. \"I'm sure there's many people who would say 'Lady Gaga's not role model. Did you see this performance? Did you see that performance?' \"But the truth is that when I was younger... I didn't quite understand the amount of attention that I had [or] the amount of people that would listen to me. \"I am older now and I am aware of my voice in the world and I want to be as much of a role model as I can be through my music as well as my performance. \"With my album, Joanne, the intention was to focus on family and focus on friendship and focus on kindness and vulnerability and the release of pain, the revealing of pain. \"This album, for me, is a reminder to care about one another, care about your family and heal the wounds of intergenerational tragedy.\" Gaga was speaking to the BBC ahead of a secret gig for 65 fans in London. She performed from inside a giant \"snow globe\" on the roof of the Westfield Shopping Centre, playing acoustic versions of her songs Bad Romance, Joanne and Million Reasons. \"It's a very holiday-like, warm experience,\" she told the BBC. \"I love my London and UK fans so much, and performing my new music for them in such an intimate and spectacular location was the perfect way to celebrate the holidays.\" Follow us on Facebook, on Twitter @BBCNewsEnts, or on Instagram at bbcnewsents.

            "input": "Scroll through my Instagram and it's full of pictures of me in different outfits. The one thing you'll notice is my style is oversized baggy fits. I've always loved the look - it's something that's quite sporty but also smart. I'm lucky enough to work in fashion - I look after social media for a modelling agency in Manchester. But this industry is all about the way you look and sometimes I feel like I can't always wear what I want. You'd never catch me wearing something that is tight or figure-hugging. Instead I end up wearing lots of layers because I am hiding something. My secret revealed I have a genetic condition called neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) - which causes tumours to grow along my nerves. When I was born I had a birth mark on my left side and as I grew so did the mark. I feel like I have one normal side of my body but then on the other side, on my hip, there are tumours. Some of them feel heavy and the lump feels like it's heated. Some of the tumours are rock hard but then some are really soft. They're not cancerous but sometimes they cause me pain on my joints and my back and the left side of my body throbs. I wear baggy oversized clothes to hide my tumours - people think that's just my style but that's not entirely true. Social media is full of pictures of people looking perfect. Do I really want to be the person to highlight that I'm not? My tumours have held me back The modelling industry is all about looking good and working in this industry you do want to dress well. But it takes me longer to pick out clothes I want to wear because I'm worried my tumours will show. Summer is probably the hardest season for me to shop or dress up in because I usually wear layers. I want to slowly learn to accept my NF and maybe wear fitted clothing and not be ashamed about what I have. When it comes to dating, my tumours have held me back. All my friends are in relationships, I try not to think about it but it would be nice to meet someone some day. I worry though. How do you tell someone you're dating that you have a genetic condition? When is the right time? It's not a small thing, it's a big deal and it's going to be with me for the rest of my life. Meeting Adam Apart from my mum and little sister, I don't know anyone else who has NF. For the Newsbeat documentary My Tumour Made Me Trendy, I got to meet Adam Pearson - who also has the condition. He's an actor and presenter and appeared in the 2014 film Under the Skin with Scarlett Johansson. Adam's tumours are mostly on his face, it also affects his vision and he can't see out of his left eye. He told me that he hated school because he was bullied and called names like \"Elephant Man\", \"freak\" and \"Quasimodo\". Meeting him really put things into perspective for me - he can't hide his NF under baggy clothes like I can. He's so inspiring, I mean he's been in a film with Scarlett Johannsson, which is so cool. I was blown away by how confident he was and it really inspired me. The big reveal I decided that I should embrace my NF and share the fact I had the condition in an Instagram story. I was absolutely terrified revealing something I'd kept secret for so long. It was a big deal for me because I've never shared my body, let alone my condition, with my followers. But I received so many messages of support and loads of people shared my story. I also had a mum contact me to say their daughter has the same condition and I was an inspiration to them. Afterwards, I felt like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders because it's something I've been so insecure about. Although I've revealed my condition to my followers I don't know if I'm at the stage where I want to constantly show it with fitted clothes. But I do feel like people understand why I wear baggy clothes now and I feel like much more of a real person online. Arooj was speaking to Newsbeat's Gurvinder Gill.

Tuesday's cabinet reshuffle saw five new cabinet secretaries join Ms Sturgeon's top team, which expanded from 10 secretaries to 12. Among the major moves, Jeane Freeman replaced Ms Robison as health secretary, Mike Russell rejoined the cabinet as constitutional relations secretary and Humza Yousaf was promoted to the justice brief.

Ms Sturgeon said: \"The ministerial team represents constituencies the length and breadth of Scotland, coming with a range of professional backgrounds and bringing a breadth of real life experience to their roles. \"For instance, Claire Haughey brings her extensive background as a mental health nurse to the mental health portfolio, Kate Forbes will bring her finance background to bear in her brief, Gillian Martin has long experience in further education as a college lecturer, and Ivan McKee brings the expertise he has acquired from a highly successful career in business to the role of trade and innovation minister. \"All of the new ministers I have appointed today, have already proven themselves as effective parliamentarians - and I know that they will do likewise in ministerial office.\" The government is the largest in Holyrood's history, with more cabinet members and junior ministers than ever before.

            "input": "She is accused of assisting Epstein's abuse of minors by helping to recruit and groom victims known to be underage. After being arrested in New Hampshire, she was brought to court and remanded in custody, for transfer to New York. Ms Maxwell, 58, has previously denied any involvement in or knowledge of Epstein's alleged sexual misconduct. Epstein died in prison on 10 August as he awaited, without the chance of bail, his trial on sex trafficking charges. He was arrested last year in New York following allegations that he was running a network of underage girls - some as young as 14 - for sex. His death was determined to be suicide. Prosecutors allege that between 1994 and 1997 Ms Maxwell helped Epstein groom girls as young as 14. The charges say she would build a rapport with them - including by taking them shopping or to the movies - and would later coax them into giving Epstein massages during which they were sexually abused. \"Maxwell played a critical role in helping Epstein to identify, befriend and groom minor victims for abuse,\" said Audrey Strauss, acting US attorney for the southern district of New York. Five of the six charges brought against her each carry a sentence of five years with the sixth - transporting a minor with intent to engage in criminal sexual activity - punishable by up to 10 years in prison. What is the detail of the charges? Four of the charges relate to the years 1994-97 when Ms Maxwell was, according to the indictment, among Epstein's closest associates and also in an \"intimate relationship\" with him. The other two charges are allegations of perjury in 2016. The indictment says Ms Maxwell \"assisted, facilitated, and contributed to Jeffrey Epstein's abuse of minor girls by, among other things, helping Epstein to recruit, groom and ultimately abuse victims known to Maxwell and Epstein to be under the age of 18\". Specifically, she is charged with: She is accused of grooming multiple minor girls to engage in sex acts with Epstein. She allegedly attempted to befriend them by asking about their lives and families and then she and Epstein built the friendships by taking minor victims to the cinema or shopping. Having built a rapport, Ms Maxwell would \"try to normalise sexual abuse for a minor victim by... discussing sexual topics, undressing in front of the victim, being present when a minor victim was undressed, and/or being present for sex acts involving the minor victim and Epstein\". \"Maxwell and Epstein worked together to entice these minor victims to travel to Epstein's residences - his residence in New York City on the Upper East Side, as well as Palm Beach, Florida, and Santa Fe, New Mexico,\" Ms Strauss told reporters. \"Some of the acts of abuse also took place in Maxwell's residence in London, England.\" The perjury counts relate to depositions she gave to a New York court on 22 April and 22 July 2016. The charge sheet says she \"repeatedly lied when questioned about her conduct, including in relation to some of the minor victims\". \"Maxwell lied because the truth, as alleged, was almost unspeakable,\" said Ms Strauss. What is the background? Allegations against Epstein had dated back years before the parents of a 14-year-old girl said he had molested her in 2005. Under a legal deal, he avoided federal charges and since 2008 was listed as level three on the New York sex offenders register. But he was arrested again in New York on 6 July 2019 and accused of sex trafficking of underage girls over a number of years. Some of Epstein's alleged victims have accused Ms Maxwell of bringing them into his circle to be sexually abused by him and his friends. One told the BBC's Panorama that Ms Maxwell \"controlled the girls. She was like the Madam\". Ms Maxwell has denied any wrongdoing. British socialite faces justice for Epstein's crimes Nada Tawfik, BBC North America reporter The charges against Ghislaine Maxwell were not a surprise, and it shows that the investigation into sex offender Jeffrey Epstein is not losing steam, even after his death. Numerous victims in civil and criminal cases had identified Ms Maxwell as the lead person who groomed them and delivered them to Epstein. In fact, after he was arrested, there was a frenzied search, not just by investigators, but by the media too, for the British socialite who quickly went into hiding. Legal experts say as a charged co-conspirator, Ms Maxwell is just as liable for Epstein's crimes and faces the same potential punishment. Prosecutors probably have numerous witnesses ready to testify - girls who are now women reliving the trauma of what happened to them decades ago and fighting for justice. The questions on everyone's mind is who else might be implicated in Epstein's crimes, and whether Ms Maxwell will give the authorities new information. Besides connecting Epstein to young girls, she also connected him to her influential social circle. Earlier this year she sued Epstein's estate seeking reimbursement for legal fees and security costs. She \"receives regular threats to her life and safety\", court documents in that case said. Another of Epstein's alleged victims, Virginia Giuffre, has accused Ms Maxwell of recruiting her as a masseuse to the financier at the age of 15. Details of that allegation against Ms Maxwell emerged in documents unsealed by a US judge last August in a 2015 defamation case but are not part of the charges against Ms Maxwell unveiled in July 2020. Who is Ghislaine Maxwell? Ms Maxwell is the daughter of late British media mogul Robert Maxwell. A well-connected socialite, she is said to have introduced Epstein to many of her wealthy and powerful friends, including Bill Clinton and the Duke of York (who was accused in the 2015 court papers of touching a woman at Jeffrey Epstein's US home, although the court subsequently struck out allegations against the duke). Buckingham Palace has said that \"any suggestion of impropriety with underage minors\" by the duke was \"categorically untrue\". Ms Maxwell has mostly been out of public view since 2016. In a BBC interview last year, the Duke of York said he had met Ms Maxwell last year, before Epstein was arrested and charged. However they did not discuss Epstein, he said. Last month a US prosecutor said Prince Andrew had \"sought to falsely portray himself\" as eager to co-operate with the inquiry into Epstein. US attorney Geoffrey Berman said Prince Andrew had \"repeatedly declined our request\" to schedule an interview. The duke's lawyers previously rejected claims he had not co-operated, saying he offered to help three times. Prince Andrew stepped away from royal duties last year. Asked about the prince on Thursday, acting Attorney Strauss said: \"I am not going to comment on anyone's status in this investigation but I will say that we would welcome Prince Andrew coming in to talk with us, we would like to have the benefit of his statement.\" A source close to Prince Andrew's lawyers told BBC News: \"The Duke's team is bewildered by the DoJ's [Department of Justice's] comments earlier today as we have twice reached out to them in the last month and have received no reply.\" Prince Andrew & the Epstein Scandal: The Newsnight Interview was shown on BBC Two on 16 November 2019 and can be seen on BBC iPlayer in the UK and the full interview can also be seen on YouTube.",

The figure is in proportion to other suspected cases from across the UK including England (198); Scotland (18); Wales (9) and unknown (12). In a statement, the Department of Health said the AstraZeneca vaccine had already saved thousands of lives in the UK and around the world. \"The adverse reactions following the Oxford-AstraZeneca first dose are extremely rare,\" the department continued. \"MHRA (Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency) emphasise that for the vast majority of people, the benefits of preventing serious illness and death far outweigh any risks.\" The figures are contained in a government report which provides a weekly summary of coronavirus vaccine statistics. It includes any suspected side effects from any of the vaccines, which can be submitted through what is called the Yellow Card scheme. According to the gov.uk website, the nature of Yellow Card reporting means reported events are not always proven side effects as \"some events may have happened anyway regardless of vaccination\". As of 28 April 2021, for the UK, 54,139 Yellow cards have been reported for the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine, 160,543 for AstraZeneca, 683 for Moderna and 574 where the brand of the vaccine was not specified. Benefits balance The absolute risk of death by clotting after the AstraZeneca vaccine is about one in a million. The Department of Health also said that many people are \"alive and well today because of the vaccine\". \"The fact that we are now emerging from lockdown is thanks in no small measure to the availability of Astra Zeneca and Pfizer vaccines.\" The latest UK-wide data reveals that there has been a higher number of suspected reports of clotting in the 50 to 59 age group (68). There have been 38 suspected reports in the 40 to 49 group and 31 for those aged between 30 and 39. The statistics revealed that more women are affected than men. All vaccines and medicines have some side effects and according to health regulator MHRA these side effects need to be continuously balanced against the expected benefits in preventing illness caused by Covid-19.",

But it has emerged no final decision can be taken as the Welsh government considers the application. Park charity Snowdonia Society says the plans are inappropriate for the site. The park authority has been told that the environment minister has ordered that the application cannot be signed off or approved until the government's decision. The airfield employed 130 people when it was closed in 2004. Decommissioning Llanbedr Airfield Estates was previously granted a certificate to use the site to test unmanned aerial vehicles at the former military air base. Now, it has applied to the park, as planning authority, to re-use hangars and associated buildings for aircraft maintenance including decommissioning / disassembly, parts recovery and refitting together with engineering training. A report says community councils in the surrounding area have given their backing to the plans for the site which would employ up to 50 people within three years, according to the planning document. It says it would take up to 28 days to dismantle narrow bodied commercial airliners such as a Boeing 737 with bigger Boeing 747 taking up to 42 days. Snowdonia Society called on the Welsh government to appoint a planning inspector to hold a public inquiry to consider the application rather than the park authority. European legislation Snowdonia Society vice chair David Archer said: \"Extra jobs and training opportunities would be very welcome, but the impact of such proposals on the environment needs to be properly assessed and appropriately regulated. \"Not only is this site in Wales' premier national park, part of the airfield is a national nature reserve and right next to it is a special area of conservation, the most highly protected designation under European legislation,\" he said. The park authority held a special meeting on Wednesday to discuss the plans after planning committee members visited the site. The report recommended approval, subject to conditions, which members voted overwhelmingly to support. After the airfield closed, Llanbedr Airfield Estates wanted to use the land for private flights and let empty buildings for business use. Its 2009 application for a certificate of lawful use was refused by the Snowdonia National Park Authority. However, in December 2010, the Welsh government then applied, as ministers became the freeholders of the site in 2006 when they took over the old Welsh Development Agency. Last year, the Welsh government was granted a certificate of lawful use, enabling the site to be used to test and develop unmanned aerial vehicles.",

The Lib Dem manifesto described them as the least effective part of the health service, and promised to abolish them. The coalition government has now confirmed an independent board for the NHS which will set priorities. A spokesman for the Department of Health said: \"The board will combine functions currently provided by the Department of Health and Strategic Health Authorities, and deliver these in a much more streamlined way. \"So the remit of SHAs will change - the board will exercise its functions through the regional offices that will report directly to the chief executive.\" Vital role In the meantime, Strategic Health Authorities would continue to have a vital role in delivering financial control and performance, and driving improvements in quality and productivity, he said. \"They will play a key role in creating an NHS that is able to focus on outcomes and deliver through strong commissioning. \"The process of change will begin with SHAs themselves, where there will be a clearer split between their commissioner and provider responsibilities.\" At a local level, groups of GPs will be asked to take on greater responsibility for organising care. The government is expected begin negotiations with the British Medical Association to allow that to happen. The health service in England has been promised real-term increases in its budget every year of this parliament by the coalition. It is thought the political price to be paid for that will be very significant cuts at the Department of Health in Whitehall. Managers at the most senior level in the NHS have been told changes could happen within the next two years. Strategic Health Authorities, which plan staff numbers and services at a regional level, would become outposts of the new board. Karen Jennings, head of health at Unison, said: \"SHAs play a vital role in making sure that there are no shortfalls or gaps in healthcare provision across a region and nationally and in overseeing standards.\" Local planning in the NHS, currently done by Primary Care Trusts would also change, if family doctors took over part of that work. Primary Care Trusts were created by the Labour government, and in their relatively short history have already been reorganised. In 2006 the numbers of PCTs was halved to 152, a process which doctors criticised at the time for leading to a period of upheaval and indecisiveness. Any major changes in the NHS in England will come at a time when it is grappling with trying to find £15bn to £20bn of savings by 2014. The Conservatives and Liberal Democrats had previously said they would try to avoid major restructuring.",

Just 75% of patients were admitted, transferred or discharged within four hours compared to the target of 95%. The Welsh Government said increasing demand previously confined to winter was now a \"year-round challenge\". A total of 5,708 people - 6.2% - spent longer than 12 hours in urgent care departments last month, the highest proportion since records began. Nobody should wait that long under the targets. The Welsh Government said the deterioration reflected that this year was the busiest on record for emergency care, with last month being the busiest-ever September for A&E departments and the ambulance service. A spokesman said: \"Despite this, more patients were seen within the four-hour target than last September and the ambulance service exceeded its target for the 48th consecutive month. \"To meet this extra demand we're investing an additional £30m to support health and social care services for the rest of 2019-20, with a particular focus on winter.\" Health Minister Vaughan Gething apologised to patients who have to wait too long, adding \"It's one of the things that really bothers and concerns me about my job. People sometimes ask 'what keeps you awake at night?' This is one of them.\" He also said there was an \"ongoing conversation\" about the merits of the current A&E targets, with more details expected to be announced in the spring. Darren Hughes, director of the Welsh NHS Confederation, praised staff for \"rising to the challenge\" of exceptional demand. He added: \"There is significant work being done to transform the way we deliver our services.\" This includes focusing on early interventions, prevention and wellbeing, he said. \"The public also have an important role to play. Do the simple things - make sure you get your repeat prescriptions before you run out, visit your local pharmacy first for help with coughs and colds, ear aches, headaches and digestive issues. Across the NHS we encourage you to look at the Choose Well website so that you and your family get the best treatment for your needs.\" Welsh Conservative shadow health minister Angela Burns said the figures showed the Welsh Government's approach was \"failing\". \"Our hard-working healthcare professionals are fighting a losing battle to meet government-set targets without having all the tools at their disposal to do the job.\" Last week it was revealed the summer had been the worst on record for A&E waiting times in England since targets were introduced. If hospitals are overwhelmed with emergency cases, it can affect patients who are scheduled in for treatment, such as many hip operations.

Some celebrities totally nailed it - Lady Gaga had four outfit changes and Katy Perry was dressed as a chandelier. But others failed to get the memo - particularly Frank Ocean, who was ripped online for looking more like a security guard in a plain black outfit. After photos started dropping of him walking the pink carpet, fans started tweeting jokes about his efforts, or lack thereof. Was he trying to be ironic? Quite possibly. But he certainly wasn't the only one to ignore the theme on the night. Kanye West similarly wore a simple all black outfit, leading to fans flooding social media with similar jokes about looking like Met Gala security. And there was a long list of other male stars who didn't take part in the fancy dress element, going for dull black suits instead. These included, among others, Trevor Noah, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Jamie Foxx, Chris Rock, Michael B. Jordan, Liam Hemsworth, Rami Malek, Jimmy Fallon and Alexander Skarsgård. Others went for plain black outfits with such a low-key nod to the camp theme that you could barely notice it - namely Shawn Mendes, Richard Madden and Justin Theroux. The Met Gala has been known for being a joyfully over-the-top affair ever since it was launched as a fundraiser in 1948. This year's theme was chosen to coincide with an upcoming exhibition at the Met, inspired by US writer and political activist Susan Sontag's 1964 essay, Notes on Camp. The outfits this year were therefore, like the exhibition, supposed to be based on \"irony, humour, parody, pastiche, artifice, theatricality and exaggeration\". Held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute in New York City, it's usually Rihanna who takes home the title of queen of the night. Last year she drew attention for dressing like the Pope, and her 2015 yellow look included one of the longest trains ever seen at the event. But this year she failed to show. It's unknown why she didn't attend to continue her unofficial reign. Other stars vying to take this year's crown in her absence included Zendaya, who dressed as Cinderella complete with smoke and a literal light up skirt. Cardi B also gave Rihanna a run for her money with a huge train that allegedly included 30,000 feathers. And although the male contingent was an overall wash of plain black, there were some who did throw themselves into the theme. Jared Leto showed up carrying a replica of his own decapitated head, while Billy Porter was carried through the carpet by six topless men all wearing gold. And Ezra Miller turned up carrying a mask, only to reveal freaky make-up with three eyes painted on his face underneath. Harry Styles also got a thumbs up for effort in his ruffled shirt and earrings, while Idris Elba, James Corden and Benedict Cumberbatch at least tried to give a nod to the theme.

Mephedrone, also known as MCAT and meow meow, was made illegal in 2010. \"Heroin has historically been a significant problem,\" he said. \"We are cautiously optimistic that we are over the wave. \"But we were so preoccupied with tackling this we may, unintentionally, have not got on to this emerging drug as quickly as we would have liked. \"That's my personal view.\" Despite its reclassification as a Class B drug two years ago, mephedrone is more than twice as prevalent in Wales as it was 12 months ago according to a police regional intelligence unit for Wales report seen by BBC Wales. It has been described as a psycho-active drug which can leave people losing inhibition around violence. The price of it around south Wales is on average between £10-20 for a deal (one gram) and is readily available. By comparison, cocaine costs between £30-£50 per gram and heroin £40-£50 per gram. Heroin users are also known to take mephedrone to help deal with the side effects of the Class A drug. \"Mephedrone has become attractive to young people and has been seen in the past as a legal high,\" Mr Isles added. \"There can be the belief that if it was legal it can't do you any harm because if it did do any harm it would be illegal.\" Swansea's Wind Street has been picked out as the second top spot in Wales behind Llanelli for mephedrone use, but heroin is still the city's main problem. Ifor Glyn from Swansea Drugs Project agrees the emergence of mephedrone has been a surprise, particularly during the tackling of heroin. \"I would say to some degree that's true,\" he said, while adding that heroin use was still a problem. \"In the last nine months we started to hear about mephedrone being around, and in the last six months it's just exploded. I've never seen anything like it.\" Mr Glyn said the cost, availability and the fact there were already a lot of people used to taking drugs in Swansea had not helped. He believed there were fewer people taking heroin, although he added: \"But I wouldn't say anything is under control. \"But mephedrone is definitely one of the biggest worries we've got at the moment because it's still a relatively unknown drug and we don't know what the long-term effects will be.\" Mr Isles is also concerned about the availability of mephedrone. He cited one example where he had been told by a young person that it was offered outside schools for as little as 10p. \"I've got no reason to distrust what that person is saying to me but I have no evidence to push that further forward.\"",

These non-Muslims, mostly from the area, were offering roses to Muslim worshippers. A man in a Muslim skullcap and long white robe accepted a bouquet from a young Londoner in shorts and a sleeveless top. I stopped an Orthodox Jew in a black hat, Hananja Fisher, and asked him what brought him there. He pointed to his eyes. \"My tears. This is all too familiar to us Jews, such attacks.\" I had received a message telling me about the rose-giving event from my female rabbi, Shulamit Ambalu, as I was talking to a Somali neighbour who had been in the mosque when the attack took place. Muhubo Barre always struck me as an extraordinary woman, raising 10 children in London, with a husband often away on business in Somalia. Her girls, wearing long Muslim robes and hijabs, would whizz past my house on scooters and bicycles on the way to school. Muhubo had been at the mosque when the attack occurred, during a break after the first prayer session. People poured out on to the street, but the imam - who went on to stop the crowd beating up the alleged attacker - urged them back inside, in case other assailants appeared. She went in and prayed that her older sons, who are 24 and 21, were safe. She heard that Salah, a friend of the family whose child is in year one at the local primary school where her younger children are pupils, was among those seriously injured. \"We finished the second prayer very quickly,\" she says. \"I walked home at 2:10am on my own. I was advised not to, but I wasn't afraid. Why should I be? The attacker has no community, he's a lone crazy man, whereas I have one.\" By \"community\" she meant not only fellow Muslims, but neighbours like me, a British Bengali married to a white British man. Muhubo arrived in the UK in the 1990s from the autonomous region of Jubaland in south Somalia, as it became engulfed by a civil war which would leave Islamist militants largely in control. She acknowledges that the Finsbury Park mosque went through \"difficult times\" under the radical cleric, Abu Hamza, from 1997 to 2004, but says tensions have evaporated in recent years. On Saturday a \"More in common\" event was held at the Muslim Welfare House to commemorate the death of the MP Jo Cox, who in her maiden speech to Parliament famously said of her Batley and Spen constituency: \"We are far more united and have far more in common with each other than things that divide us.\" This applies just as well to Finsbury Park. Last weekend Rabbi Shulamit was a guest at the mosque for Iftar, the breaking of the fast after nightfall during Ramadan. She found that she was simply able to walk in, without passing through any security checks - which are now routine at British synagogues. The imam initially assumed she was a Muslim worshipper, and invited to join the other women downstairs - she was amused, because the same would happen at any Orthodox synagogue. Then he realised his mistake and invited her to join him at the multi-faith Iftar. When she left the mosque she walked out into a warm summer night, just as large numbers of worshippers were arriving to pray. \"It felt like Jerusalem,\" she says. \"That sense of anticipation, holiness, the excitement of a festival night. The sense of the closeness and also the differences between us, and how at times that very junction of similarity and difference can be so creative and also so uncertain. I simply felt at home.\" I remember all too well the times when Finsbury Park would be in the news, if not for football hooliganism spreading out from Arsenal's stadium, then for the extremism preached by Abu Hamza. In 1998, I sent a frivolous invitation to a party at our house to two of Abu Hamza's henchmen, including Omar Bakri Mohammed, who went on to head the al-Qaeda-affiliated group, al-Muhajiroun. I never imagined that they would ring my doorbell. I opened the door in my short dress with a glass of champagne, which I offered to the men. Omar Bakri Mohammed declined both the champagne and my outstretched hand. We had a chat in the hallway. The men never ventured into my living room, possibly because people were dancing there. When they left, after about 20 minutes, I explained who the two guests had been - sending a shockwave through the party. Things have come such a long way since then. When I asked Muhubo Barre's eldest son, Ayub, 24, about Sunday night's attack, he said it had taken him a while to grasp that it could have been racially or religiously motivated. The idea seemed so strange. \"I didn't feel being Muslim in Finsbury Park, in London, was ever an issue,\" he said. \"I believe as a community we'll get through this.\" Despite the recent tragic events - Manchester, London Bridge, Finsbury Park - I left the roses ceremony in an upbeat mood.

Until then, she had been fit and healthy but it is now thought she might have had a viral infection called dilated cardiomyopathy. Hannah, from Mayfield, East Sussex, had several hospital stays including a spell in intensive care as she fought off infections, but eventually became so ill she knew she had to prepare herself for the \"long haul\". By the time her consultant mentioned a heart transplant, the 29-year-old said it was almost a relief. But it wasn't without setbacks - she waited in hospital for about six weeks, in which time two hearts became available, only neither were a suitable match. By the time the third call came, there were no nerves, just excitement. \"We listened to songs and we were dancing in the room,\" she said. The operation took four-and-a-half hours and she came around from the anaesthetic the following day. \"I remember sitting in my bed and hearing it, [thinking] I hear my heart. It's so loud. It's mine, but it's not mine. I can never get my head around that.\" Within 24 hours, she was out of bed and sitting on a chair. The next day the physiotherapists had her marching on the spot. A week after the transplant, she fulfilled a long-held ambition and sent her sister out to buy her a dog. She met Huey the sausage dog on FaceTime from her hospital bed, and two-weeks post transplant, the pair were united when she was discharged. \"I'd wanted a dog for a very long time. My mum was like 'you can't have a dog', but I was saying 'I need to do it now. Life's here now.'\" Ms Sharma said the future is \"tricky\". She can suffer side effects from the medication and has good days and tired days - and there is always the risk of organ rejection at any time. She says during recovery, she spent a lot of time thinking about her donor - a 55-year-old woman whose family she will soon write to. \"Life is very different to how I saw it, but I try not to dwell on those things and live as much as I can while I'm fit and healthy,\" she said. \"Some people live 35 years post-transplant, so I could still have a lot of years. It is scary, but it could have completely stopped last year... so I'm thankful for any time I get.\" 'It's not fun, but it could be worse' Faizan Awan was born needing a kidney and can't remember having his first transplant at the age of three, but remembers realising at a young age he was different to others his age. Growing up, he could not join in sport and while his friends were at the cinema, he would be on his dialysis machine. At 14, he had a second operation and received a kidney from his father. The average lifespan of a donor kidney is between 10 and 15 years, according to the NHS, and 34-year-old Mr Awan is on the list for a third time, although he and his family are matter-of-fact about it, as they know what to expect. \"Until then, there's not really much you can do but wait.\" You might also be interested in: Mr Awan said he has has been waiting for an organ for five years because there are fewer donors among ethnic minorities. He hopes the legal change will improve his chances and encourage people in South Asian and Muslim communities to talk about the subject more openly. \"Part of it is generational bias,\" he said. \"My grandparents and great-grandparents didn't [donate] in Pakistan - that's the norm when family move without fully understanding the system is different here. \"In Islam, there is a lot of text that can be translated for or against transplants. There is no literal line that says 'yes it's allowed' or not.\" Mr Awan is now an organ donation ambassador for the NHS and volunteers for the Lancashire and South Cumbria Kidney Patient Association, where he helps other patients and carers deal with kidney disease, dialysis and transplants. \"It gives people some kind of comfort knowing it's not the worst thing in the world,\" he said. \"It's not fun, but it could be worse.\" What is changing? From Wednesday, all adults in England will be deemed to have given consent to donate their organs when they die, unless they have opted out, or are in an excluded group. The new law, known as Max and Keira's Law, has been named after two children. Nine-year-old Keira Ball saved four lives, including that of Max Johnson, also nine, after her father allowed doctors to use her organs for transplants after a car crash in 2017. It has been estimated that the law change will lead to an additional 700 transplants each year by 2023. Source: NHS 'Organ donation is an open conversation' Two years ago, Laura Beattie was given the news she had been expecting for some time - she would need a lung transplant. The 31-year-old was born with cystic fibrosis, a life-shortening genetic condition that can cause fatal lung damage. In 2016, she became more breathless and her condition worsened, leading to her taking the tests to go on the transplant list. Since learning she would need a transplant, Ms Beattie has spent time preparing for the procedure with an NHS transplant team of experts and psychologists. \"I was probably in denial. I try my best at everything. I was just feeling upset with myself. And I was scared. I'd never had a proper operation before. \"You work towards it. You have every test imaginable so they can match up the organ with you. And it's just about keeping busy and focused and trying to see the best in myself. \"And there are mixed emotions, which can depend on how you feel each day.\" One distraction is her online fashion business, which came about because she had struggled to find dresses to fit because her rib cage is slightly larger due to her condition. Her sister, Rachel, then 14, came up with the idea to so start their own brand and a decade on, they work with teams in Manchester, Italy and Portugal. Ms Beattie said: \"It's about determination and never giving up. I work hard with my treatment and keep myself stable, and with the business it's the same. \"It's about never giving up. It's about coping with setbacks and knowing you can get through.\" Ms Beattie, from Manchester, hopes the law change will improve her chance of finding a match but acknowledged that her survival relies on someone losing a loved one. \"Organs come from someone who has died and talking about that side of it is scary. But I think the more [organ donation] is spoken about, the more it's an open conversation.\" 'She saved a life' Two years ago, Keith Astbury lost his daughter Pippa to an instant, catastrophic, brain haemorrhage. She was placed on a ventilator but he already knew the situation was not hopeful. Several hours later, he discovered his daughter had signed up as an organ donor via three different media. \"We thought if that's what Pippa wanted, that's what's going to happen,\" said the 70-year-old from Trafford, Greater Manchester. Pippa died in 2018 and since then, her family has received a letter they described as both \"heart-warming\" and \"bittersweet\" from the recipient of her lungs - a mother-of-three whose life was saved by the transplant. Both families exchanged letters in a process that brought comfort, said Mr Astbury, who is now an NHS organ donation ambassador. He described his daughter, who would have turned 43 today, as a mother who lived for her son, and a \"people's person\" who cared about everything - so much so she had decided to retrain as a social worker. \"Pippa's organs didn't go to waste,\" Mr Astbury said. \"She saved a life and we feel part of Pippa is still living and still with us.\"",

In 2008, the crew of a yacht with an empty coffin strapped to the deck had to be rescued by a lifeboat crew after losing their way. RNLI volunteers from Barra on the Western Isles were called out after the craft got lost on its passage from America to Norway. The coffin was bound for a bar in Norway's capital, Oslo. Unusual objects have also on occasions washed up on island beaches. In 2007, a container that appeared on a beach on the Western Isles was one of six lost overboard from a ship close to the English Channel. Stornoway Coastguard said the 51ft tank, similar to those used to ferment beer, went missing in the south western approaches to the channel. Police said it was lost from a vessel three weeks before it washed up on Benbecula. The container was found by a dog walker on Poll na Crann beach near Griminish - known as Stinky Bay - west Benbecula.",

Once it is operational next month, Guernsey's grid will return to being 90% supplied by French nuclear and renewable energy. Guernsey Electricity said the cable would also increase \"energy security\". The NKT Victoria, a 140m (450ft) ship based in Sweden, began laying the cable on Saturday, contending with strong currents between the islands. The old cable, installed more than 20 years ago, had three faults between 2012 and 2018 which cost £14m to repair. The build-up of damage to the previous cable meant that Guernsey Electricity decided that additional repairs to the cable would not be cost-effective in February. The company's chief executive Alan Bates said they were also aiming to install a cable linking the island with France by the mid-2020s. That second project is estimated to cost £85m and could potentially require government backing to complete. Mr Bates said the company were in the process of discussing how to fund it with the States of Guernsey, their principle shareholder. Deputy Barry Brehaut, president of the Environment and Infrastructure Committee, indicated the States could support installing a direct link. Mr Brehaut said the purpose of both projects was to ensure \"security of supply\" for the island's power grid, as well as furthering the process of \"decarbonisation\". \"If you're connected to the European grid and you're not burning heavy fuel oil, then that lowers your emissions massively,\" he added.",

General secretary Mick Whelan said the move did not mean the union was rolling back and warned of further strikes. Aslef said drivers would also strike on 24, 25 and 27 January and the overtime ban would continue. Southern's parent firm Govia Thameslink (GTR) is in dispute with Aslef and the RMT unions over the role of guards. Aslef represents nearly 1,000 Southern drivers, while the RMT has 12 among its members, who will also take part in the strikes. Services cancelled Mr Whelan said: \"We are taking a longer-term view of this trade dispute. \"The company has not been prepared to move - it is simply going through the motions, turning up at Acas, as it did yesterday, and telling us that it intends to impose [driver-only operated trains]. \"We still believe a deal can be done but we are, at the moment, a long way from that position.\" A Southern spokesman described Aslef's announcement as \"a cynical ploy to minimise the impact on drivers' pay packets and maximises misery, disruption and hardship for passengers\". \"Aslef's move shows pure contempt for the travelling public and it still causes massive disruption over next week. \"These strikes are pointless and they should call the whole thing off and let common sense prevail,\" the spokesman added. What's the Southern Rail strike about? How bad have Southern rail services got? The politics behind the Southern rail dispute The company said since 1 January drivers are controlling the doors on just over 70% of Southern services instead of the \"on board supervisors\". Southern added there were no plans to extend this. The unions oppose the change on the grounds of safety and fear the move is a long-term ploy to phase out a second person on services. Mr Whelan said the union's executive would meet later this month and there was a \"likelihood\" more strikes would be called. Verbally abused He added that members were \"incredibly angry\" at driver-only trains being extended without agreement and leaflets would be handed to passengers next week showing \"blurred and dark\" images of platforms as seen by drivers. He said he had great sympathy with passengers and revealed some drivers had been verbally abused. \"Informal\" talks at Acas between Southern and Aslef on Tuesday ended without agreement and there are currently no plans for any further meetings. Mr Whelan said Aslef remained \"committed to a negotiated settlement... but it is difficult to negotiate with people who are not prepared to be flexible\". \"It is time for the company to come up with a genuine offer rather than carry on posturing,\" he said. Passengers have suffered months of disruption because of industrial action, staff shortages and other problems. Aslef members are currently banning overtime which is leading to services being cancelled or delayed every day. 'Travel if essential' The RMT union, whose members are mostly conductors, has been taking industrial action since last April. Its members held a three-day strike over the New Year weekend. Rail minister Paul Maynard said fewer strikes would still cause \"massive disruption\" for passengers. \"I urge Aslef to call off these wholly unnecessary strikes and come to the table for talks. \"This modern way of running trains has been safely used elsewhere in the UK for 30 years. \"There is no safety issue; the independent rail regulator has confirmed it is safe,\" he said. Southern said none of its train services would operate during next week's three day strike. It said there would be 200 coaches and buses instead to provide links for essential travel between nine Southern stations and neighbouring train networks, but warned passengers should only travel if essential. Thameslink services will continue to operate throughout each day, and there will be a reduced service on the Gatwick Express.",

He said he had been \"fighting\" to open on time and it was \"absolutely heartbreaking\" to disappoint fans. \"We are working tirelessly to get this show going,\" he added. Riggall said the company was working with the local council \"constructively\" to understand the complexities of the immersive experience - which includes building a replica of Hill Valley, the fictional town in which Back to the Future is set. \"We've built an ambitious show and we weren't able to get to the position in which we were able to open with the local authorities happy,\" he said, adding that thunderstorms in London last week had hindered production on the outdoor event. \"Secret Cinema is a very different kind of experience to a normal concert or show, and it has taken longer to demonstrate to [the authorities] so they are happy. \"I completely and utterly understand how angry and frustrated people must feel. This is the first time in 10 years of doing these shows we've not been able to get there.\" The decision to cancel the weekend screenings came after three previous events were called off, with ticketholders given only a couple of hours' notice. Acknowledging the anger over these cancellations, Riggall said he was scrapping the weekend screenings in advance to prevent further frustration for fans. \"They'll be incredibly disappointed and I'm hugely apologetic for that but I cannot expect our audience to have to have the same pressure and frustration another day.\" \"I believe we could open tomorrow, but I don't want to give any more false promises,\" he added, sounding tearful during a telephone conversation with the BBC. \"I'm not going to allow this to continue and to have people being so upset.\" 'Wonderful cast' Addressing concerns the show was not ready following the cancellation of the preview on Wednesday, Riggall confirmed two full dress rehearsals had already taken place. \"From an artistic and creative point of view I was so excited about it - but I'm not excited anymore. \"We've got the most wonderful cast. We've got 80 actors, close to 80 set designers and dressers who've lovingly put the whole town into play. \"I'm devastated that we didn't get there, but it won't stop me being ambitious. What it has taught us in a great way is that I'm never going to let this happen again.\" Up to 84,000 tickets have been sold for the event, which is due to run throughout August. Secret Cinema has offered ticketholders - who paid £53.50 each - the opportunity to attend another scheduled screening date instead, or a refund. Additional refunds in excess of ticket charges for those who travelled from overseas are being considered on a case by case basis. Meanwhile, London's Savoy Theatre has told disappointed ticketholders they can turn up at its box office to get a free seat for Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, starring Rufus Hound and Robert Lindsay. Riggall said he hoped the shows would resume on Thursday 31 July. Reacting to the news on social media, ticketholder Maeve O'Neill posted on Secret Cinema's Facebook page: \"Well done Secret Cinema at last you are taking some responsibility by emailing peeps and cancelling until July 31st.\" David Mather tweeted: \"Sunday as well now!?

            "input": "Those who have had the Tory whip removed include two ex-chancellors and a number of senior figures in Theresa May's and David Cameron's governments. Some have said they will stand down at the next election - whilst others have vowed to fight attempts to stop them standing again as Conservative candidates. It comes after the rebels teamed up with the opposition on Tuesday to back a motion paving the way for a law seeking to delay the UK's exit date. The legislation would force the prime minister to delay Brexit until January 2020, unless MPs approve either a new deal or a no-deal exit by 19 October. So who are the Tory MPs who rebelled against the prime minister? Philip Hammond The former chancellor, who has been co-ordinating the rebels' efforts, insisted the move was not simply designed to block a no-deal exit but also to give Parliament proper time to scrutinise and implement any new deal agreed. The 63-year-old voted for Theresa May's Brexit agreement three times, but has become a bogey figure for many Tory Brexiteers. They believe he has consistently exaggerated the economic risks of Brexit and sought to frustrate planning for no deal while in charge of the Treasury. The Runnymede and Weybridge MP has said he will vigorously contest any attempt to deselect him as a candidate in the next election, potentially through legal action. But his constituency association, which officially re-adopted him as their candidate on Monday evening, issued a statement on Facebook stating that he would \"no longer be eligible to stand\" after losing the Tory whip. \"A new Conservative candidate will be selected by the membership in due course,\" it said. David Gauke Theresa May's former justice secretary is another key figure - so much so that he and his anti-no-deal associates have been dubbed the \"Gaukeward squad\". The 48-year old former solicitor - who was George Osborne's number two at the Treasury in pre-referendum days - has said a no-deal exit would be a \"big mistake\" for the UK and he would not be \"complicit\" in something which would see people lose their jobs. The South West Hertfordshire MP faced calls earlier this year from some activists in his constituency to deselect him. Confronted with the same threat now from No 10, he said he was prepared to put the national interest ahead of his own future career prospects by voting against the government. He said he believed Downing Street wanted to carry out a \"purge\" of dissenting voices. Dominic Grieve Unlike Mr Hammond and Mr Gauke, Mr Grieve has been a frequent and high-profile rebel over Brexit during the past two years - opposing Theresa May's withdrawal deal three times. The former attorney general is a strong supporter of another referendum on the UK's future in Europe, with the option to remain. The 63-year-old says he regards a no-deal exit as \"unacceptable\" and will always vote against it - even if his career takes a hit. The Beaconsfield MP has said he wants to fight the next election as a Conservative but being deselected is a price he is willing to pay. His constituency chairman, Jackson Ng, said he had urged Mr Grieve to \"desist\" from rebelling but thanked him for his \"long service\". Earlier this year, Mr Grieve lost a vote of no confidence by local Conservatives following a \"robust discussion\" about Brexit. Ken Clarke Another former chancellor, Mr Clarke is the most strongly Europhile member of his party and has long been out of step with its views on Europe. He opposed the 2016 Brexit referendum and was the only Tory MP to vote against triggering the Article 50 process for leaving the EU. He has gone as far as to suggest he would vote against the government in a vote of no confidence in order to stop a no-deal exit. The 79-year old has previously suggested he might stand down as MP for Rushcliffe at the next election. His constituency association said it was saddened to lose him from the party and paid tribute to his \"enviable and unparalleled\" service since he was first elected in 1970. It added that \"all future correspondence should be sent direct to his office at the House of Commons rather than to the Rushcliffe Conservative Association office\". Sir Oliver Letwin The ex-cabinet minister was a ringleader in attempts by MPs in April to hammer out a Brexit compromise by seizing control of the parliamentary timetable. He also spearheaded a cross-party bill designed to compel Theresa May to seek a Brexit extension earlier this year, and was the MP who applied for an emergency debate on Tuesday, beginning the process which led Boris Johnson's defeat over the latest no-deal Brexit bill. A consummate Westminster insider, he is a leading \"soft Brexiteer\" who believes the referendum result must be honoured but the UK should maintain close economic links with Europe. The West Dorset MP had already said he will not contest the next general election. Justine Greening The former education secretary announced on Tuesday she would stand down as MP for the overwhelmingly pro-Remain constituency of Putney in south-west London whenever the next election comes. She warned that Parliament's ability to be a force for change, particularly in terms of improving social mobility, was being compromised by \"Brexit myopia\". She voted three times against Theresa May's Brexit agreement, saying it neither delivered on the promises made to Leave voters nor gave anything to younger Remain. Warning her party was morphing into The Brexit Party, she said she would support legislation to keep all Brexit options \"on the table\" and to ensure Parliament has a real say in the outcome. Rory Stewart The former international development secretary said claims a no-deal exit would be a \"clean and easy break\" from the EU were disingenuous as, in reality, it would lead to years of economic and political uncertainty. Mr Stewart suggested such an outcome would be \"remembered for 40 years\", and would permanently damage the party's reputation. Despite losing the whip, he has said he is \"not giving up\" on his Cumbrian constituency and would still be representing residents of Penrith and the Border. He says it should be up to his local association whether to let him contest the next election and \"purging\" him and other rebels as candidates was a not a Conservative response. Alistair Burt The former Middle East minister, a respected figure in the party, has said he has a \"fundamental and unresolvable\" disagreement with the party leadership over Brexit. He has said he will standing down as MP for North East Bedfordshire at the next election, having served in the Commons since 1983. Speaking in the Commons, he said he accepted the party rules but asked colleagues to reflect on the question \"if we are being purged now, then who is next?\". He said the Brexit convulsions in his party \"may have curtailed my future but it will not rob me of what I believe, and I will walk out of here looking up at the sky, not down at my shoes\". Sir Nicholas Soames Winston Churchill's grandson was among those who met the PM on Tuesday for last-ditch talks but rebelled after concluding a deal was not achievable in the available timeframe. Speaking in the Commons, he joked that he had been \"inspired by the serial disloyalty\" of the prime minister and other members of the current cabinet over Brexit in the past. He added that it was his \"most fervent hope is that this House will rediscover the spirit of compromise, humility and understanding\" required to bring Brexit to a resolution and refocus on all the other challenges facing the country. Having had the whip removed, he has said he will not be standing at the next election - meaning his near 37 year Commons career is nearing its end. Dame Caroline Spelman The veteran Conservative MP for Meriden supported the government in Tuesday's vote on whether to seize control of Parliamentary business. But she joined the ranks of the rebels when the bill paving the way for a further delay to Brexit, if no deal is achieved, was voted on for the first time. Unlike those who rebelled on Tuesday, she has not had the whip withdrawn - but she has said she will not be standing at the next election. A former Conservative party chair and environment secretary under David Cameron, her Midlands constituency is home to a number of firms supplying parts for the UK car industry. The 61-year old has expressed concerns about the impact of a no-deal Brexit on the industry. Other MPs who rebelled: Greg Clark: The former business secretary was one of the strongest advocates of Theresa May's Brexit deal. He has said no deal would be \"ruinous\". Sam Gyimah: The former universities minister said there was \"no mandate\" for a no-deal exit which would be \"damaging and disruptive\" for his constituents. Antoinette Sandbach: The MP for Eddisbury said it was \"important to act\" to stop any chance of no deal. She said she did not \"regret putting her job on the line to save my constituents' jobs\". Stephen Hammond: He has accused Tory Brexiteers of \"lecturing others\" about loyalty. He told the BBC's World at One he would \"reluctantly\" vote against the government. Margot James: The former digital minister said it had been the hardest decision she had ever made in politics. Her local Stourbridge Conservative association has begun the process of selecting a candidate for the next election, saying the choice was a \"matter for members\". Richard Harrington: The 61-year old has rebelled over Brexit before and recently announced he would stand down as MP for Watford at the next election. Guto Bebb: The Aberconwy MP, who is also quitting at the next election, says a vote against no deal is \"truer to Conservative tradition than anyone who traipses through the lobbies out of fear, opportunism or simply unthinking loyalty\". Caroline Nokes: The Romsey and Southampton North MP said her constituents would be worse off under a no-deal Brexit. She said she would be talking to her constituency association but would not rule out standing as an independent. Ed Vaizey: The ex-culture minister has said a no-deal exit would hurt the digital economy although he told Buzzfeed News he had yet to decide which way to vote. Steve Brine: The former health minister said last week he was prepared to hold the PM to his claim a no-deal exit is a \"million to one chance\". Anne Milton: She has kept a low profile since quitting as a minister in July but attended a meeting with other likely rebels in Westminster earlier on Tuesday. Richard Benyon: The MP for Newbury is a former fisheries minister in the coalition government. He told the BBC that he hoped to return to the fold as a Tory MP, adding that he would \"throw himself on the mercy\" of his local association.

The meeting will consider constitutional issues, the economy, how to combat extremism and how to improve relations across the UK. It will also mark the first occasion that Mr Cameron has met Ms Sturgeon since she became Scotland's first minister. This week has been billed by the Northern Ireland Secretary Theresa Villiers as a crunch time for cross-party talks in Belfast and she said she believes a pre-Christmas deal is crucial. She is concerned that unless a deal is agreed this week, the House of Commons will run out of parliamentary time to give the Northern Ireland Executive corporation tax powers before the 2015 general election. The talks involving the British and Irish governments and the Northern Ireland parties will formally recommence on Wednesday.",

Depp's comedy Mortdecai flopped in cinemas, only making back $47.4m (£32m) of its $60m (£40.5m) production budget. The actor's 2014 sci-fi thriller Transcendence, meanwhile, only just made back its costs. Denzel Washington is ranked second on the list, returning $6.50 (£4.39) on every dollar. Will Ferrell, who topped the list in 2009 and 2010, is third this time after only bringing in $6.80 (£4.59) for every $1 spent on him on Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues and The Campaign. That was just ahead of Liam Neeson, whose fourth place is down to the success of Taken 3 cancelling out Run All Night. According to Forbes, the latter thriller cost $50m (£33.7m) and made $71.6m (£48.3m) back. Adam Sandler, named the most overpaid actor in each of the past two years, was considered ineligible this year after signing a four-film deal with streaming service Netflix. Chris Evans was Forbes' best value actor of 2015, the Captain America actor's films returning an average $181.80 (£123) for every $1 he was paid. How do the rankings work? Each of an actor's three major films up to June 2015 are counted in the list. The only films which are not used for the basis of the survey are animated releases, ones where the actor only appeared in a minor role, or those which were released on fewer than 2,000 screens. Forbes then take the estimated production budget away from the global box office returns for each film to work out each one's operating income. That figure is then added to the estimated total fee for each star across their three films to discover the final figure for return on investment. Four actresses fill the next four places in the best value list. Mila Kunis comes second with an $87.30 (£59) return on every dollar, while Scarlett Johansson, whose last three major films grossed a combined $2.58 bn (£1.742 bn), is third. Gwyneth Paltrow, whose appearance in Iron Man 3 more than made up for her contribution to Mortdecai, is ranked fourth. Last year's winner, Emma Stone, comes fifth, with the disappointing performance of Aloha balanced out by 2014's The Amazing Spider-Man 2.",

            "input": "But what will his new job actually involve? What does the prime minister do? The prime minister is the leader of the government and is appointed by the Queen. Normally, he or she is the leader of the party that wins a general election. It's the prime minister's job to appoint members to the government, known as ministers. Only a small number of MPs actually get these roles. The most senior figures are called cabinet ministers and they oversee government departments - such as the Treasury and the Home Office. The prime minister can, at any time, hire and fire ministers. They can also abolish government departments or create brand new ones. Alongside the chancellor, the prime minister is also in charge of tax-and-spending policy. And the prime minister can also bring in new laws - so long as they receive the backing of Parliament. Ultimately, the prime minister is responsible for all government policy and decisions. What other powers does the prime minister have? The prime minister has overall control of the civil service - the people and departments that carry out the government's decisions. They can award honours, such as knighthoods and damehoods. They can also award peerages. They also have a number of responsibilities relating to defence and security. For example, they have the power to send the UK's armed forces into action. However, recent convention says Parliament should also approve such a decision. A number of special responsibilities also rest on the prime minister's shoulders, such as deciding whether to shoot down a hijacked or unidentified aircraft. They can also authorise the use of UK nuclear weapons. How are prime ministers held to account? Despite these powers, a prime minister can't just take any decision they like. Prime ministers need to retain the confidence of most MPs. That's because laws can only be passed if a majority of MPs vote them through. If a government repeatedly loses votes, MPs could choose to call a \"motion of no confidence\". If a prime minister loses such a vote, they face the prospect of a general election. If the prime minister's party loses a general election, they must resign so the leader of the winning party can take over. In theory, the Queen has the power to sack a prime minister if it was felt they were acting against the country's interest. That, however, would trigger a constitutional crisis. Who got to choose the prime minister? Boris Johnson needed the backing of both Conservative MPs and ordinary party members. To start with, 10 Tory MPs were nominated as possible prime ministers. But a series of secret votes by Conservative MPs whittled them down to two - Boris Johnson and Jeremy Hunt. Both Mr Johnson and Mr Hunt took part in a series of debates, before paid-up members of the Tory Party voted for who they wanted. That meant about 160,000 people were able to choose the leader of a country of more than 65 million people. Boris Johnson received 92,153 votes compared to Jeremy Hunt's 46,656. Most Conservative party members are over 55 and a large majority are from the top social class. Why wasn't there a general election? A new prime minister doesn't necessarily mean a general election is inevitable. As the Conservatives are already in power, they won't have to hold one - so long as Boris Johnson can command the support of the majority of MPs. If he did decide to call an election, the prime minister would need at least two-thirds of MPs to agree to it. Where does this leave Brexit? Despite Theresa May's departure, the problem of Brexit is far from resolved. Coming up with a solution that will define the future relationship of the UK with its European neighbours will keep Boris Johnson very busy. Mr Johnson has pledged to renegotiate the existing deal - the one Mrs May failed to pass three times. But there's also no guarantee that a revised deal can be agreed before the Brexit deadline. However, Mr Johnson is adamant the UK will leave on 31 October \"deal or no deal\". What are the perks? The prime minister is expected to live and work in 10 Downing Street - the office of the prime minister since 1735. However, there are some exceptions. Tony Blair, who had a young family, chose to reside in Number 11 in 1997 - as it had a larger living area. In addition, the prime minister has an official country residence, Chequers, which is free to be used at any time. Boris Johnson will be driven in an official prime ministerial car. Currently, it's a custom-built Jaguar XJ Sentinel. As for salary, the prime minister is currently paid £150,402 a year.",

Mr Borda and Mr Miranda said they would celebrate their wedding in September.

Three years ago, Argentina became the first country in Latin America to allow same-sex marriages. Reforms Since then, Brazil's Supreme Court overwhelmingly voted in favour of granting same-sex couples the same legal rights as married heterosexuals, effectively authorising gay marriage. In Colombia, a judge recently ordered a notary to sign a document which - while not a marriage certificate - in effect gave a same-sex couple the same rights as a heterosexual one. In Mexico, legislation on same-sex unions is a matter for individual states. Gay marriage is legal in the capital and the southern state of Quintana Roo, while the states of Coahuila and Colima allow gay couples to enter into civil unions. Gay marriage remains illegal in the rest of the country. The gay-marriage bill is among a series of liberal reforms in Uruguay backed by President Mujica. Since the left-wing politician came to power, parliament has also passed a law allowing abortion beyond cases of rape, incest or threats to a woman's health.

He has just graduated from Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken, New Jersey and begun working full-time for Provenir, a business software company. But come next April, if he is not selected for an H-1B visa - which allows \"highly skilled\" workers to come to the US - he will have to move back to India. Competition for the visa is high though. Last year the quota was filled in just five days. \"I have seen most of my friends, they've been rejected twice,\" he says. \"You think, 'oh my god, if I don't get it what happens?' \"Then I have to go back and I don't want to go back.\" 'Matter of life or death' As Secretary of State John Kerry visits India this week for the US-India Strategic Dialogue, a hot topic for debate will be just how many H-1B visas should be issued in the United States each year - and what sort of process employers should go through to fill their technology talent needs. Currently, employers must sponsor foreign workers for the H-1B lottery, which often costs several thousand dollars and doesn't come with a guarantee that the employee will be selected. There are 65,000 H-1B visas for foreign workers each year, with an additional 20,000 offered to graduate degree holders. Silicon Valley has long argued that the cap on visas is too low and that by denying talented foreign workers visas, the \"innovation economy\" that has led to booming IT industries in areas such as California and New York will shrivel up. \"The tech industry throughout the United States is going through a major renaissance,\" says Andrew Rasiej, founder of the New York Tech Meetup, and founder of a start-up, Personal Democracy Media. \"We're converting our country from the 20th Century to the 21st, and to be able to do that successfully we have to have talent that understands the tech industry.\" Right now, he says, \"there simply aren't enough people in the US who are skilled in technology jobs,\" echoing a common complaint from start-ups to large technology companies like Google and Facebook. Getting those workers is \"a matter of life or death for the tech industry\". As a solution, part of the immigration reform bill currently being debated in the US Senate suggests increasing the number of H-1B visas offered each year from 85,000 to 110,000, in addition to making an exception for \"market-based factors\" that could allow for more visas to be issued in a given year. 'Indentured servitude' However, critics of the proposed expansion argue that it's not the future Facebooks of the world that are in desperate need of more H-1B visas but rather large outsourcing firms like iGate Technologies and Cognizant that benefit most from the programme. Many outsourcing firms are of course Indian and already the Indian government has objected to provisions in the bill that would tax companies whose workforce is made up of more than 50% of H-1B visa holders. Those provisions are meant to appease critics such as Systems in Motion CEO Neeraj Gupta, himself a former H-1B visa holder who once sold a company to a large Indian outsourcing firm. Mr Gupta says the cap on visas should not be raised unless serious questions about the programme in general are asked. \"Before you open up the numbers let's look at how they're being used today: more than 80% of H-1B visas go to outsourcing firms,\" says Mr Gupta. \"Let's stop the use of these visas for outsourcing and you have more visas available for the innovation economy.\" Mr Gupta and others argue that foreign workers, mostly from India, are not necessarily future innovators but just cheaply educated lower-level engineers. Because of the strictures of the H-1B programme, they are paid less money than equivalent American workers - and they have less bargaining power. \"If a worker complained about their wages or their working conditions, the employer could just threaten to lay them off and if they did that worker would have to leave the country,\" says Rochester Institute of Technology Professor Ron Hira, who is himself ethnically Indian and a mentor to many foreign graduate students. \"It's a form of indentured servitude.\" The 24-hour work day What everyone can agree on is that as long as technology firms continue to grow faster than workers can get trained, there will continue to be a demand for overseas labour. KeepSkor is a start-up that aims to help brands create interactive games to help build product awareness. At their offices in Grind, a trendy co-working space in midtown Manhattan, founder Tristan Louis tweaks prototypes of new games. \"Is there a joystick version where you could tap to jump?\" he asks his product engineer, who quickly nods in agreement - on the screen in front of him. The engineer, you see, is in Poland - the only place where Mr Louis could find tech talent that fitted his budget. \"We've been forced to outsource as opposed to hiring local talent,\" says Mr Louis. \"Our day is really on a 24-hour continuum.\" Mr Louis says that while he's sympathetic to arguments about issues surrounding wages and outsourcing, the reality is that he needs talented workers that he can afford on a shoestring budget - and that he needs them now, wherever they are. \"The reality is I'm still going to spend $80,000 (£52,000) a year for [an engineer], but the net result is that worker is going to spend that money in the overseas position instead of here.\"",

            "input": "By David SternBBC News, southern Ukraine Tensions are again escalating between Kiev and Moscow, after a period of relative stability. Unidentified individuals blew up four pylons in two locations in southern Ukraine at the weekend, near the border with the Crimea peninsula, which the Kremlin annexed last year. The explosions severed the flow of electricity to Crimea and plunged it into darkness. Schools were shut down and hospitals ran on reserve generators. Local officials declared a state of emergency. On Wednesday, Moscow and Kiev both announced that Ukraine would no longer receive Russian natural gas deliveries, although it was unclear which side actually initiated this cut-off. At the same time, Ukraine said it was banning all Russian aircraft from flying over its airspace. All this takes place as fighting intensifies between government troops and rebels, whom Moscow by all appearances supports with men and firepower. A ceasefire in September lowered the violence to nearly zero, but the number of dead and wounded is once again mounting. Relations between the two countries are poor, to put it lightly. Still, so far there has not been a complete breakdown. More on this story Ukraine bans Russian planes as gas flow halts Crimea hit by blackout and trade boycott Ukraine has officially declared Russia an \"aggressor nation\" and the fight in its east an \"anti-terrorist operation\". But Kiev has stopped short of calling it a \"war,\" and ties between them exist but are greatly reduced. Each escalation of the conflict, or the war of words between the countries, raises fears that the fighting will return to the massive bloodshed of earlier this year or, if allowed to spiral out of control, to an all-out conflict. That explains the concern over the mud-splattered electrical equipment in southern Ukraine. Renovation work has begun on one of the four trunk lines into Crimea. Maintenance workers re-erected the pylon on Tuesday and the following day made preparations to raise the electrical cables. Cables were stretched and in some spots slightly lifted, but the labourers stopped short of hoisting them fully on to the pylons. This one line would restore up to 40% of Crimea's power supply, according to local reports. However, it is unknown when the power will finally be switched on. The explosions come after political activists - mostly ethnic Crimean Tatars and members of the Right Sector ultranationalist group - imposed a \"blockade\" on Crimea, to protest its annexation by Russia and reports of widespread human rights abuses there. This consisted of setting up checkpoints at the two main entry points into Crimea and stopping all cars and trucks trying to transport goods into the region. \"I'm protesting because in Crimea people can't live peacefully,\" said Roman Ragozin, an activist wearing camouflage and the insignia of the Aidar volunteer military battalion. \"They're being beaten, and are being searched in the middle of the night - just because they support Ukraine.\" Kiev officials said they understood the reasons behind the protest and did nothing to stop it, despite its extra-legal character and reports that a number of the activists were using intimidation and force against motorists. Judging by the quiet at the site of the fallen electrical posts, the government's attitude towards the Crimean power outage seems to be similarly ambivalent. Police and protesters clashed on Saturday. However, by the middle of the week, all attempts to repair the remaining three pylons appeared to have been put on indefinite hold. A small group of protesters kept a watchful eye to make sure that authorities did not introduce any additional work beyond that on the first pylon. The government, for the moment, made no move to assert its authority. As a light, cold rain began to fall, the activists moved into a military tent they had set up and poured themselves some hot tea. \"A deal will probably be reached to turn back on the electricity,\" said Roman. \"But I'm against giving those separatists anything.\"",

But he hailed Ms Patel as an \"outstanding\" home secretary who was \"delivering change\". The Cabinet Office is investigating several allegations about Ms Patel's behaviour, which she denies. The home secretary, who sat next to Mr Johnson at PMQs, has not publicly commented on the allegations. Answering a question from Labour MP Matthew Pennycook, Mr Johnson said: \"The home secretary is doing an outstanding job delivering change, putting police out on the street, cutting crime, and delivering a new immigration system and I'm sticking by her.\" Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn accused the \"part-time\" prime minister of having \"no shame\" and repeated his call for an independent inquiry into Ms Patel's conduct. He demanded to know if Mr Johnson was aware of the complaints about her behaviour when he appointed her home secretary. The PM hit back by branding Mr Corbyn a \"full-time Marxist who has failed to stamp out bullying in his own party\". Labour MP Thangam Debbonaire said it appeared that, with this government, facing allegations of bullying \"just get you promoted\", whereas those who stand up to it lose their jobs.

The BBC's Newsnight reported that in 2017, Ms Patel - then International Development Secretary - was allegedly accused by officials in her private office of humiliating civil servants in front of others, of putting heavy pressure in emails and of creating a general sense that \"everyone is hopeless\". The allegations were reportedly brought to a senior official at the Department for International Development after Ms Patel quit as its secretary of state in 2017. Mr Corbyn told the prime minister that \"if true\" the allegations suggest \"a shocking and unacceptable pattern of behaviour across three government departments\". The Labour leader's spokesman later said: \"We've had government staff contact our office directly with information and allegations about bullying in the Home Office by Priti Patel.\" The allegations relate to Ms Patel and another former minister, the spokesman added. \"They are bullying and harassment allegations of government staff and they simply build up the picture that has already accumulated in recent days. \"It is quite clear this is not an isolated allegation by one individual about one incident or one set of incidents.\"",

He said: \"There was a carnivalesque-style atmosphere on Sunday afternoon, as the march snaked its way through the city centre, as was the march on Friday. \"It was a really positive atmosphere as was Tuesday when people had put tents up. \"But that all seemed to change when it got dark. That was the demarcation between the peaceful protest and when things got more agitated. \"From where I was standing, on the Sunday, it seemed when the first few people in the crowd started pushing at the police line, it started to take on a different atmosphere.\" 'Heavy handed police' Bristol student Tuff, 23, blamed the protests turning violent on the lack of organisation. She said: \"It kept on ending in a stand-off between police and the protesters on who could stay there the longest. \"Sunday was just chaos from both sides. \"But on Tuesday, that was provoked by the police. \"We had a communicator from the protesters' side talking with the police. \"The last I saw of them they went to the police who told them they would be fine and that the protesters were allowed to stay there. \"When he came back to the crowd, riot vans arrived so either there was a big miscommunication or it was a lie. \"There were no bottles thrown, eggs thrown, no drunk people or people causing havoc, it was 100 percent the police that came in heavy handed and unannounced.\" Some contributors' names have been changed to protect their identity.",

The photo was taken in the castle's grounds during sunny weather last week. It is the first public photo of the duke since he was seen leaving hospital in London on 24 December last year. Prince Philip spent four nights in the private King Edward VII's Hospital in relation to a \"pre-existing condition\". In the picture, which was taken by a Press Association photographer, the duke is wearing a Household Division tie. The Queen is wearing a heart-shaped 18.8 carat diamond brooch called Cullinan V, which she has worn many times, including for her granddaughter Princess Eugenie's wedding and London Fashion Week. It follows another photograph last week that showed the Queen, 94, riding a pony called Balmoral Fern in Windsor Home Park. Prince Philip, who has been married to the Queen for 72 years, has rarely been seen in public since he retired from royal duties in 2017. He is the longest-serving consort in British history and the oldest serving partner of a reigning monarch. The duke issued a rare statement in April thanking key workers who were keeping essential services running during the pandemic. It followed the Queen's own message on television, watched by about 24 million viewers. Meanwhile the Duke of Cambridge said he was worried about Prince Philip and the Queen during the coronavirus outbreak, but said his grandparents were doing everything they could to ensure they were protected and isolated. \"Obviously I think very carefully about my grandparents who are the age they're at - we're doing everything we can to make sure that they're isolated away and protected from this,\" said Prince William. The Queen cut short her official duties because of the coronavirus in mid-March. Prince Philip, who had been staying at the Sandringham estate, was flown by helicopter to join the Queen at Windsor Castle. The government's rules for the lockdown identified groups of \"clinically vulnerable\" people who should take particular care to minimise contact with anyone outside their household. They included those aged 70 or over, \"regardless of medical conditions\". The managing editor of Majesty magazine, Joe Little, said the royal couple's time in lockdown together was \"an opportunity for them in their later years to reconnect... It is the perfect royal cocooning\". He added: \"They will make a fuss of him on Wednesday as much as you can make a fuss of the Duke of Edinburgh.\"",

            "input": "There has been intense political debate - but many patients are still unclear about what it will mean. Here we look at the main changes. The NHS is a very large and complex organisation. Most parts will be affected in some way. But the biggest changes are about who makes decisions and who spends the money. New organisations are being created and others abolished. And the legal responsibility for managing most of the NHS budget will be handed over in April 2013 to some of these new organisations locally and nationally. Local councils are also being given a bigger role in influencing health services. In the long term, the NHS may look very different - but for the moment patients going to see their GP or going into hospital may see little visible difference. Who plans and buys treatment for patients? At the moment, 152 bodies called primary care trusts (PCTs) control local spending on dentists, hospital operations and tests, and medicines - accounting for 80% of NHS spending. They are mostly made up of health managers. Some care may be provided by private health companies, or charities. The rest, controlled nationally, includes things like specialist care. From April 2013 PCTs will be replaced by more than 200 GP-led organisations called Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs). They will be responsible for closer to 60% of the NHS budget. Every GP surgery has to belong to a CCG, although in reality only a small number of GPs will take responisbility for deciding what local services to fund. Ministers believe GPs will be more responsive to the needs of patients as they have day-to-day contact with them. This, the theory goes, will make the NHS more efficient and improve the quality of care. New organisations will be able to offer CCGs support on buying and planning health services. Who directs the funding? CCGs will decide whether or not to pay for any hospital care a GP thinks they need - as PCTs do now. The government says CCGs will be better placed to decide on local priorities because more doctors and nurses will be involved. Some GPs are keen to get more involved in these decisions - but others fear factoring in costs will compromise the doctor-patient relationship. Most care is provided by NHS organisations, but some routine operations are carried out by private companies - but paid for by the NHS. Under the new system a regulator called Monitor will be given the job of making sure there is a level playing field for private companies and charities to compete with NHS organisations to provide care. The government says Monitor will also have to ensure competition does not affect the service patients receive. How is the NHS run? The health secretary sets policies, such as waiting times, for the NHS. Currently, the Department of Health then passes these down through 10 strategic health authorities and then to the PCTs who have to ensure they are implemented. Under the new system the clinical commissioning board will take charge of overseeing the NHS from the Department of Health. Instead priorities will be given to a new NHS Commissioning Board, based in Leeds but with four regional and 50 local offices around England. It will control a significant part of the overall budget so that it can plan and buy specialist services and will also be charged with ensuring CCGs do not overspend their budgets. Local councils are to have more of a role in tackling public health problems, such as obesity, in their area - and new health and wellbeing boards will help link this work with that of the CCGs. A national body called Healthwatch, with local groups, is being set up to enable patients to have their say about the NHS. Overall structure of the new NHS in England",

            "input": "The significance of Mr Bouteflika's resignation cannot be understated. He has been in power since 1999, so almost half of the country's young population have only known him as president. So is this a defeat for the regime? There is no doubt that this is the end of Mr Bouteflika. A senior party figure in the ruling party, Hocine Kheldoun, said in a TV interview on Thursday that the long-serving leader was \"history now\". But many Algerians believe that the octogenarian's health has declined to such an extent that he is just being used as a front by the murky group of businessmen, politicians and military officials, known as \"le pouvoir\" (the power) who don't want to give up their influence. This group dominates the National Liberation Front (FLN), which has governed Algeria since independence from France in 1962. So the protesters see the concessions as a ruse to avoid far-reaching reform. The new Prime Minister Nouredine Bedoui, a close ally of Mr Bouteflika, has been tasked with bringing about political reforms until new presidential elections are held. His government is also expected to organise a national conference, but no dates have been given for either the elections or the conference. And for the moment, Mr Bouteflika remains in office. One of the protesters' new slogans is: \"We wanted elections without Bouteflika, we were given Bouteflika without elections.\" Is Bouteflika still in charge? His supporters say the 82-year-old leader is \"mentally and intellectually\" capable of running the country. However, since suffering a stroke in 2013 he has rarely been seen in public and does not travel around the country or abroad, except for medical treatment. His aides represent him at events and read his messages to the public. He was not physically present at the constitutional council to submit his paperwork run for his fifth term as required by the law. And the announcement that he was not standing was read on his behalf by a newsreader on national TV. Some say his brother Saeed is making key decisions for him, although the reality is much more complicated. Saeed is at the head of one of the groups which make up \"le pouvoir\". Why is it so hard to find another candidate? A veteran of Algeria's war of independence, Mr Bouteflika's upper-class, Westernised style led him to be called \"the dandy diplomat\" in some quarters. He came into office, backed by the army, after the 1990s civil war and was largely viewed as a unifier of the many factions underpinning Algerian politics. Unlike some leaders in the region, his presidency survived the protests of the Arab Spring in 2011 - until now. Mr Bouteflika has been the pivot, or the balance, in the patronage created by \"le pouvoir\" - a system of rule which gives power to a small privileged group. He has been key to making this complicated and conflicted system work. It is unclear what would happen in the country if the cog for the past 20 years is removed. And this is why it has been so hard to find an alternative. Bouteflika's key dates: So why did the government back down? One thing that is clear is that the government was taken by surprise by the sheer number of protesters that have been pouring onto the streets for weeks and also their unrelenting push to achieve their goals. It seems that the government had underestimated how unpopular it had become after years of corrupt and repressive rule. The protests, which were initially led by young people, were later joined by lawyers, judges and teachers, making it an intergenerational push for change. Some parents have also taken their young children to the marches. Public broadcasters which had ignored the demonstrations in the beginning were later allowed to cover them. The demonstrators have also been largely peaceful, and adhered to a code of conduct which has been widely shared on social media, to reduce confrontation with security forces. In fact, the peaceful nature of the protests earned praise from former Prime Minister Ahmed Ouyahia, who resigned this week after President Bouteflika dropped his fifth-term plans. The security services have also showed an unusual self-restraint towards protesters which could suggest that they are not prepared to use force against them. The government, and all Algerians, are also aware than any violent clashes are likely to escalate and get out of hand in a country which was torn apart by a decade-long civil war in the 1990s. It was not hyperbole when Mr Ouyahia warned that \"the situation in Syria also started with roses\". What does the opposition want? The main opposition parties have rejected the decisions of the government to delay the elections and hold the national conference. A constitutional law expert at the University of Algiers, Fatiha Benabou, told the AFP news agency that there was no legal basis in the Algerian constitution for postponing the elections and that Mr Bouteflika's announcement did not refer to any legislation. The leader of the opposition Adala (Justice and Development) party, Abdallah Djaballah, is currently co-ordinating talks that include the HMS (Society of Peace) party and political personalities, including former prime ministers Ali Benflis and Ahmed Benbitour, as well as prominent human rights lawyer Mustafa Bouchachi. Other political parties are expected to join the group, including the Socialist Forces Front (FFS), a social democratic and secularist political party which has boycotted previous elections because of alleged fraud. Kamel Guemazi and Ali Djeddi, members of the banned Islamic Salvation Front (FIS), were also seen at the opposition talks. The FIS won the first multi-party legislative elections in 1991, which were later cancelled by the military, leading to the civil war. The opposition says the current regime cannot continue to run the country against the will of the people and beyond the scope of the constitution. Adala party MP Ben Khallaf told the BBC the opposition was preparing for its own national conference to set up a roadmap for reforms. He added that protests would continue until the will of the people was respected by the regime. How strong is the opposition? There is no indication that opposition political parties have influence on the protests which were led by waves of youths not involved in party politics. Opposition parties - which range from socialists to Islamists - are known to be deeply divided and have failed on several occasions to come together and find common ground to stand up to the regime. However, the alternative national conference proposed by the opposition does present a robust challenge to the government. They, however, have to take into consideration that the people went to the streets to end politics as usual - and this might include the traditional opposition parties. Mustapha Bouchach, a prominent figure in the opposition has refused to speak for the protesters as suggested to him on social media. He said on a local TV programme: \"These protests are led by the youths who are in the streets. They speak for themselves and no-one has the right to spoil their successes.\" He urged the political parties and personalities in opposition to support the protesters and not try to take the lead form them. \"That would be a big mistake,\" he added.",

Released just two days before his death from cancer, it went to number one on both sides of the Atlantic. There is also a nomination for former Mercury Prize-winner Antony and the Johnsons, who now goes under the name Anohni. Her album, Hopelessness, is a lacerating look at the modern world that rages against President Obama, drone warfare and ecological disaster. The shortlist was chosen by a panel of judges that includes former winner Jarvis Cocker, Radio 1's Annie Mac, pop producer Naughty Boy and singer Jessie Ware. Notable omissions include Adele's 25 and Coldplay's A Head Full Of Dreams, which were the two biggest-selling albums released during the eligibility period: 26 September 2015 to 29 July 2016. PJ Harvey, the only artist to win the prize twice, also misses out on a nomination for her latest album, The Hope Six Demolition Project. The shortlist will be whittled down to six albums on the night of the awards, with one of those finalists selected by a public vote. Presented by Lauren Laverne, the ceremony will be broadcast live on BBC Four and 6 Music on 15 September. After last year's low-key event, the award will be handed out at a gala concert in London's Eventim Apollo, after Hyundai stepped in as a headline sponsor. Analysis by Mark Savage, BBC Music reporter After the row over diversity at this year's Brits, the Mercury list does its best to redress the balance, with an all-female rock band, two grime MCs, a music icon and a transgender torch singer. Many of the nominated albums are unswervingly political. Anohni accuses President Obama of \"executing without trial\", while Skepta delivers a powerful message to the establishment: \"We don't listen to no politician\". All of the records feel vital and innovative - yet it's the most commercial list in years, with all but one of the nominees having entered the UK album chart, four of them at number one. That's thanks to a new panel of judges which puts an emphasis on musicians - including Jarvis Cocker and Naughty Boy - over rock critics and industry \"suits\". They've even taken the brave decision to omit Adele's all-conquering 25. Not that she'll mind: The £25,000 prize is only just enough to buy one of her concert tickets on the secondary market.

In a joint statement, the intelligence bodies say they currently believe fewer than 10 US government agencies saw their data compromised, although other organisations outside of government were also affected. They say work is still going on to understand the scope of the incident, which appears to have been aimed at gathering intelligence and which they say is \"ongoing\" a month after details first emerged. The update on the investigation came in a statement from a task force called the Cyber Unified Coordination Group which was set up to deal with the incident. It comprises intelligence and law enforcement agencies including the FBI and NSA. The group said it was still working to understand the scope of what had taken place. Eighteen thousand customers who used Orion product from the company Solar Winds were exposed but US intelligence says it believes a much smaller number saw follow-on activity from the hackers in which they stole data. The US Treasury was among those which previously acknowledged being targeted. \"This is a serious compromise that will require a sustained and dedicated effort to remediate,\" the statement said. Many organisations are having to scour their systems for signs that they may have been compromised. The incident sent shockwaves across the US partly because the breach was undiscovered for many months and was potentially far-reaching in terms of who it might have affected. It also suggested a degree of sophistication and stealth which was widely seen as a trademark of hackers from the SVR, Russia's foreign intelligence agency. Soon after the incident was revealed, President Trump raised the possibility that China might be responsible, but members of his own administration including the secretary of state and attorney general pointed the finger at Moscow. The latest statement shows the assessment of US intelligence agencies is that Russia was behind it, although it does not go so far as accusing the Russian state itself, saying only that the actor was \"likely Russian in origin\". Moscow has denied playing any part. President-elect Joe Biden has previously said it was important to take \"meaningful steps\" to hold those responsible to account. It is not yet clear, though, what that might involve. While some US politicians suggested the breach might even be compared to an \"act of war\", most cyber-experts disputed this and the US intelligence community has now played down suggestions that it could have had destructive impact. \"At this time, we believe this was, and continues to be, an intelligence-gathering effort,\" the latest statement says. This is significant since it suggests no evidence has been found that this was preparatory activity for a more destructive cyber-attack which might switch off systems. This may limit the US response since espionage operations do not breach the cyber norms the US itself promotes (largely because it too carries out such intelligence-gathering operations against other nations). In December UK officials say they believed a small number of UK organisations were affected but said they did not believe they were in the public sector.",

They outlined their proposals at an insurance summit at the UN, New York. G7 leaders recently pledged to help 400 million people have access to insurance cover against extreme weather events. The researchers produced a policy brief that was presented to the global gathering at the UN headquarters. \"My role was to highlight the policy implications of having insurance at the centre of requirements to protect exposed populations,\" explained policy-brief author Ana Gonzalez Peleaz, a fellow from the Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership. \"The lack of effective insurance regulation is a problem for accessing insurance across all parts of society.\" For example, she told BBC News, there were a number of nations that did not allow mutual insurance companies - these are companies that are wholly owned by policyholders, with the sole purpose of providing cover for its members and policyholders. \"The lack of regulation can have devastating consequences for customer protection and also insurers cannot really grow if the regulatory environment is not supportive.\" The policy brief, quoting UN data, said that, over the past two decades natural disasters had affected 4.4 billion people and had claimed 1.3 million lives. \"Both developed and developing countries are affected by natural hazards and associated disasters, of which 70-80% are driven by climate-related risks,\" it observed. Critical year The summit was attended by UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, who told delegates that the insurance industry could and must play a strong role in shaping a more sustainable future and urged it to show strong leadership. \"This is a critical year for action,\" Mr Ban said, referring to a series of high-level gatherings, including a UN sustainable development summit in September and the UN climate summit in December. \"With these events, the world has an historic opportunity to adopt a new set of sustainable development goals and to put the world on track for long-term, low-carbon, climate-resilient growth.\" Mr Ban's comments came weeks after the G7 Summit in Germany at which leaders of the world's leading economies pledged to increase access to insurance for 400 million people in the most vulnerable nations by 2020. However, Dr Gonzalez Peleaz said that despite the recognition of the important role the insurance sector could play, there was no explicit reference to inclusive insurance regulation in the text for the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which are set to be published in September and will succeed the UN Millennium Development Goals. \"Something like the SDGs is not going to be repeated for another 15 or 20 years so just to have an awareness of the issue among governments would be a massive step to build on,\" she said. \"It is an opportunity of a generation. \"There is still a lot of work to be done but if we could just join forces at the moment, to build on this momentum to reach agreements will help us build a safer and more resilient world.\"",

Costly process It will cost $185,000 (£114,000) to apply for the suffixes, and companies would need to show they have a legitimate claim to the name they are buying. Analysts say it is a price that global giants might be willing to pay - in order to maximise their internet presence. The money will be used to cover costs incurred by Icann in developing the new gTLDs and employing experts to scrutinise the many thousands of expected applications. A portion will be set-aside to deal with potential legal actions, raised by parties who fail to get the domains they want. The vote completes a six-year negotiation process and is the biggest change to the system since .com was first introduced 26 years ago. Icann said it was beginning a global communications programme to raise awareness of the new domain names. Applications will start on 12 January. High standards Companies and organisations seeking one of the new gTLDs will have to meet high technical standards, according to Bruce Tonkin, chief strategy officer at Melbourne IT, a domain registry service. \"You need IT robustness and you need intellectual property protections beyond what is available in the dot com space. \"You have to have 24/7 abuse team. You have to have mechanisms where a trademark holder has first right to get their name,\" he said. The higher standards, said Mr Tonkin, meant the application process would be extremely rigorous. \"Using a real estate analogy, it would be roughly the equivalent of getting approval to build a sky scraper. \"There's roughly 50 questions, roughly 2-3 pages per question. Icann will then use experts in each field to evaluate them. \"The concern that some people have is that the standards of these buildings will be so high, that they will never get built. It will be too expensive,\" he said.",

The spouses each carried one child to term using their own eggs and an unknown sperm donor. American citizenship was granted to Ms Blixt's son, Massimiliano, but not to Ms Zaccari's boy, says the lawsuit. The US Department of State has not commented on the allegations. According to the agency's website, \"at least one biological parent must have been a US citizen when the child was born\" for a child to qualify for birthright citizenship. Ms Blixt and Ms Zaccari are listed on both children's birth certificates, and English law recognises them as the boys' parents, according to their lawsuit filed in Washington DC. The court filing says the US consulate denied citizenship to Ms Zaccari's child, Lucas, now two years old, on the grounds that he was not a blood relation and that he was born \"out of wedlock\". However, lawyers for Ms Zaccari and Illinois-born Ms Blixt say they were legally married in their adopted home of England before their sons' births. The lawsuit says that at the US consulate \"Stefania and Allison were asked a series of invasive and legally irrelevant questions about how their children were conceived and born\". The decision violates the Immigration and Nationality Act establishing that \"babies born abroad are US citizens at birth when one of the child's parents is a married United States citizen\", says the court filing. After a law against same-sex marriage was overturned in the US in 2013, same-sex couples were allowed - like heterosexual couples - to bring their foreign spouses into America. But the same ruling did not cover the children of same-sex couples, and legal advocates say this is discriminatory. Ms Blixt told the Washington Post that she declined the offer to become her son's legal stepmother and bring him to the US as an immigrant. The lawsuit says the US Department of State's \"policy unconstitutionally disregards the dignity and sanctity of same-sex marriages by refusing to recognize the birthright citizenship of the children of married same-sex couples\". Another same-sex couple in California has reportedly filed a similar lawsuit, according to Immigration Equality, a legal advocacy group. Andrew Dvash-Banks, a Los Angeles real estate agent, had twin boys with his Israeli husband, Elad Dvash-Banks, via a surrogate, who gave birth in Canada. One boy was conceived using Andrew Dvash-Banks' sperm; his brother was conceived with the husband's genetic material. But only Andrew Dvash-Banks' biological son has been granted US citizenship, according to their lawsuit.",

Some families say they actively budget for the cost of fines when planning holidays, while others believe the penalty system is a \"mess\" which needs an overhaul. Here they share their experiences. 'I have to account for every penny' \"I am a single parent and have two daughters, aged four and 13, at school,\" says Heather Swain, from Bourne in Lincolnshire. \"I work hard and try to provide my daughters with a good standard of life. For me there is just no choice but to book a holiday in term time. \"I have to account for every penny and if we went during the school holidays it would mean I am unable to provide things such as clothes, days out and birthday parties. \"We went on an unauthorised trip to Disneyland Paris in February last year for a long weekend. The trip cost £752. Out of term time it would have cost £2,500 and we simply could not have gone. \"I don't think the system is fair and I think lack of finances to fund a holiday during out of term time should be considered special circumstances.\" 'The whole fine thing is a mess' Jason Batty says he received a fine when he took his son, Daniel - now 14 - out of school during term time. \"He was in year 8 at secondary school, he wasn't due to sit any exams or miss any significant work so we decided to go. We followed the school policy of completing a request form but this was soon declined. \"We went to America, travelled around Florida and visited interesting places like Nasa, museums and race tracks. We met loads of different people who were more than happy to talk about life in America, and we even celebrated Thanksgiving which was fun. \"No school can provide that type of education. Are children going to remember the chemical reactions in booster rockets at Nasa or their science teacher? \"We factored the fine into the cost of the holiday and we still saved hundreds of pounds. We have done this a couple of times now, however my son is now in year 10 and will be starting his GCSE exams so we will not plan any holidays as it is an important time for him. \"The whole fine thing is a mess and it needs serious consideration, if your child regularly attends school and they have no significant exams coming up then you should not have to pay a fine.\" Term-time holiday: What are the rules? Adventures on maternity leave and beyond The youngsters keeping traditional trades alive 'It is a tax on parents' \"My family is split between Cumbria, Bristol, Devon, Lancashire and Ayrshire in Scotland,\" says John Reekie from Gosforth, Cumbria. \"The school term times are different which leaves one or more of the family groups having to take kids out of school. \"The most recent example of this was us seeking permission to remove our boys, 5 and 7, from primary school so we could go skiing with my brother-in-law's family as it was more important for their daughter doing GCSE exams to be in school than our kids due to their young age. \"The reality of the penalty system is that it either involves families such as ourselves cutting back the number of times in a year that we can get together or us paying fines which, to date, have not been levied as we have made our case where required to the school. \"The fine system is basically a tax on parents who in many cases will do the extra work with their kids to catch up. While I sympathise with teachers, the reality is that there are many more important things in life than missing a day of school. \"We seem to have lost this in our education system and we are the poorer for it.\" Responsible parenting? ''Mumsnet users broadly agree that absences are disruptive for teachers and other children. There's a strong consensus that generally speaking, regular school attendance is a core part of being a responsible parent,\" says the blog's founder and CEO, Justine Roberts. She believes parents don't want their children to miss out on learning, but they are often left feeling penalised- \"and a little victimised\" - when holiday costs double, or even triple, the moment term ends. \"What does drive parents crazy is inflexibility when something is genuinely important: a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, a really significant family event, or occasional off-peak holidays for children with additional needs who can't cope with peak-period crowds and noise. \"Such things require thoughtful discretion, which head teachers are strongly incentivised not to exercise because of the inclusion of absence statistics in Ofsted reports. There's a frustrating lack of nuance in the system, which leads some parents to throw their hands in the air and do what they think is best.\"",

Not only that, but Standard Chartered's big Asian deposit base would be a source of cheap capital for Barclays investment bank. Voila - an all-singing, all-dancing bank with a truly global footprint. It's such a tempting idea that it gets kicked around every few years and folks are now doing it again for some understandable reasons. Barclays has made good progress clearing up some big outstanding items. The fine from the US authorities over risky mortgage selling: sorted. The criminal charges over the way it raised money in Qatar in the aftermath of the crisis: dropped. The outstanding investigation into chief executive Jes Staley's handling of a whistleblowing incident last year: resolved, with a fine and yellow card from the City watchdog. The ring fencing of its UK retail bank: complete. 'Interesting blue sky' With all that out the way, so the thinking goes, the board is now twiddling its thumbs and outgoing chairman John McFarlane might fancy one last big deal as his swansong. Mr McFarlane - who used to work for Standard Chartered - has looked at this before when he joined five years ago, but both banks had more immediate fish to fry. With those fish now fried it makes sense he might look at the idea again. Certainly, deputy chairman Gerry Grimstone is a fan: he told me last year that a deal was \"just blue sky thinking - but quite an interesting bit of blue sky\". At that time no discussions between the two banks had taken place and I am told that is still the case. The other reason tongues are wagging is the arrival on the share register of activist investor Edward Bramson. Activist investors arrive and agitate for usually pretty radical change to deliver more value for shareholders. Perhaps, say some, this deal would tick that box. Both bosses - Mr Staley of Barclays and Bill Winters at Standard Chartered - have dismissed the idea when I have put it to them in the past. Practicalities Mr Staley is focused on building a bank centred in London and New York, and has just sold dozens of businesses, and exited Africa, where the bank spent a chequered century. He has no desire to do business in the places that Standard Chartered plies its trade. Standard Chartered itself has learnt the hard way about the pitfalls of doing business in places like Iran - incurring hefty fines from US regulators. Standard Chartered is focused on building a bank based on facilitating trade in the developed and developing countries of Asia and Africa. It has little institutional interest or expertise in investment banking - despite the fact that Bill Winters was a long-time colleague of Mr Staley's at JP Morgan's US investment bank. As for Mr Bramson, the activist shareholder, he has so far not been that active, and if and when that changes, it seems unlikely that this deal is the thing he would agitate for. City sources say his plan is most likely to include getting Barclays to sell off bits of its investment bank. Investment banking is risky, and regulators require investment banks to set aside a lot more shock absorbing capital as the price of playing that game, compared to supposedly less risky retail banking. Reducing the size of the investment bank would free up lots of capital that could then be returned to shareholders like Mr Bramson. Never say never - but my guess is that this fairytale marriage of two of Britain's biggest banks is, at the moment, just that.",

In Europe, Nissan sells one in four crossovers, which combine the high ride of 4x4s with the fuel economy and driving style of ordinary cars. But beyond its ability to deliver the right models at the right time, the plant has also benefited from the historically strong yen against sterling, which has made it more attractive to produce in the UK. And with the pound being historically weak against other key currencies, especially the euro, much of the Nissan production is shipped abroad. So much, in fact, that Nissan is now the UK's biggest car exporter. 'Quality and efficiency' Sunderland's success in attracting investment from its parent company also rests on the plant's reputation as a particularly efficient car factory, as well as its close relationships with local suppliers and its ability to support new ones. Nissan's chief executive Carlos Ghosn, who is also the chief of French carmaker Renault, is well aware that \"the Sunderland plant is setting an important benchmark for quality and efficiency in Europe and around the world\". Which is why he is investing some £420m to produce the electric Leaf here, as well as to make lithium-ion batteries for both Renault and Nissan. Sunderland is also expected to be a major supplier of cars as Nissan continues to ramp up its European dealer network, adding some 1,000 new dealerships between 2006 and 2014 in an effort to overtake Toyota. Nissan's investments in the north east, which have boosted employment in the otherwise economically depressed region, have been warmly welcomed by the government, which deems the car industry's contribution a vital contributor to its strategy to bolster manufacturing and thus rebalance the UK economy. Attracting investment Indeed, Nissan's strength is by no means unique in today's UK motor industry. \"Eleven of the global volume manufacturers have bases here, backed by 19 of the world's top 20 suppliers,\" Business Secretary Vince Cable said last year during a dinner arranged by industry body SMMT. In 2011 alone: \"The year saw the UK attract a remarkable level of investment, with global vehicle manufacturers committing in excess of £4bn to plants and facilities, securing future model production and employment,\" observes SMMT's chief executive, Paul Everitt. \"Despite the uncertainty within the eurozone, there is real confidence in the future of UK manufacturing. \"It will make an increasing contribution to exports, economic growth and employment in the coming years.\"",

Campaign \"Love the Lagoon\" claims the £1.3bn development would create and support about 2,200 jobs and contribute £316m to the Welsh economy during construction - followed by £76m during each of its 120-years of operation. Wales rugby players Jonathan Davies, Shane Williams and Alun Wyn Jones are among those to have pledged their support, along with Roy Thomas, the owner of Bay Studios and Swansea Airport. Swansea council leader Rob Stewart warned the clock on the project was ticking, as it had been eight months since Charles Hendry's independent report was published. Meanwhile Fish Legal, which represents several of its member angling clubs in south Wales, has set out its concerns in a letter to Natural Resources Wales (NRW).

It said the company had assumed \"with poor justification\" that most salmon will \"actively avoid the tidal water flowing into the turbines\".

He added there was \"no reliable evidence\" to prove that lagoons would not cause \"very significant environmental damage\" to Swansea Bay and its fish stocks. \"This white elephant project with its untried technology should be shelved to remove the threat to fish and other wildlife,\" he added. A TLP spokesman said they had been in \"extensive discussions\" with NRW and its advisors. He said an assessment had been carried out and analysis agreed with NRW advisors that the impact on both marine and migratory fish was \"likely to be very low\". \"It will be up to NRW to make its judgement based on the evidence provided,\" the spokesman said, adding that the company hopes to receive its marine licence for the project in early 2018.",

Mr Corbyn has condemned the attack but says the involvement of Russian \"mafia-like groups\" can not be ruled out. More than 30 Labour MPs have signed a motion which \"unequivocally\" accepts the Russian state's \"culpability\". On Wednesday, Prime Minister Theresa May told the Commons that Russia was \"culpable\" for the attack and that she was expelling 23 Russian diplomats - but Moscow has denied all involvement. On Thursday, amid calls for him to be firmer in his condemnation of Russia, Mr Corbyn said the \"evidence points towards Russia on this\". But later in an article for the Guardian newspaper, he drew a link with the build-up to the war in Iraq and warned that \"clear thinking in an international crisis\" could be \"overwhelmed by emotion and hasty judgement\". Labour backbencher Stephen Kinnock told the BBC Mr Corbyn's first statement, on Thursday, was \"a step in right direction\" but added: \"I think the article he wrote after that then muddied the waters somewhat. \"I think what we need is a very clear line from our leadership stating very clearly that we stand shoulder-to-shoulder with our allies and with the government in the action it's taken.\" 'Irrelevant malcontents' Labour MP Chris Williamson, an ally of Mr Corbyn, told BBC Two's Newsnight that \"clearly it looks like the evidence points to Russia\", but said the UK needs to \"make sure we get our facts right\" before \"leaping into action\". He said his leader's approach was \"not about being nice to Russia\" but about taking \"a statesman-like approach\". And he dismissed those criticising Mr Corbyn's stance as \"a tiny minority of irrelevant malcontents\" who are \"fighting a proxy war\" to undermine the party leader. Russian former spy Sergei Skripal, 66, and daughter Yulia Skripal, 33, remain critically ill in hospital, 11 days after they were found unconscious on a bench in Salisbury, Wiltshire. An Early Day Motion, sponsored by Labour backbencher John Woodcock, who has criticised Mr Corbyn's leadership of the party in the past, states that the signatories \"fully support the statement made by the prime minister on 14 March 2018 in response to Russia's illegal attack on the UK\". Analysis By Laura Kuenssberg, BBC political editor Whether there is specific direct proof that there was Russian state involvement in the attack or not, the majority of MPs in the House of Commons agree that there is enough evidence and a pattern of behaviour that make this an appropriate moment to take some diplomatic moves against the Putin regime. While not opposing those specific actions, Mr Corbyn's tone and reaction to those moves have cracked open Labour's political truce. His comments have stoked worries about the leader's foreign policy views that have been one of the sources of division in the Labour Party since he became its top pick. Read more from Laura In his Guardian article, Mr Corbyn wrote that he agrees with the expulsion of the diplomats and describes the use of a military-grade nerve agent as \"barbaric and beyond reckless\". But he says that although the evidence points to Russia - the public deserve \"calm heads and a measured response\" from the government. \"To rush way ahead of the evidence being gathered by the police, in a fevered parliamentary atmosphere, serves neither justice nor our national security,\" he writes. Mr Corbyn says if Moscow is not to blame \"a connection to Russian mafia-like groups\" cannot be excluded. He said Russian authorities should be \"held to account on the basis of evidence\", adding: \"But let us not manufacture a division over Russia where none exists.\" Others in his shadow cabinet have been more explicit in blaming the Russian state. Shadow Defence Secretary Nia Griffith said the party accepted that \"Russia is responsible\" while Shadow Foreign Secretary Emily Thornberry is reported to have said there was \"prima facie evidence\" against the Russian government, which \"must face the consequences\". Shadow Brexit Secretary Sir Keir Starmer said it was \"the right conclusion\" for the prime minister to determine that there was \"no alternative explanation other than that responsibility lies with Russia\". He said it was an \"attack on our sovereignty\" and, referencing the murder of former KGB agent Alexander Litvinenko in London, in which he acted as a lawyer to bring a case against Russia: \"This is not the first time and it needs to be called out with no ifs and no buts.\"",

            "input": "By Divya AryaBBC News, Delhi Less than 50 miles from India's capital Delhi, in a village called Kurmaali the women walk out to the fields twice a day - at the crack of dawn and the onset of dusk. The fields are the only toilet most of them have ever known. Only 30 of the 300 homes in the village have their own private facilities, and none have drainage. They walk out together, in groups, for safety. It takes about 15 minutes. Then they separate and space out for a little privacy. Kailash, aged 38, wakes her three daughters up at 04:00 every morning. Each takes a bottle of water, and they set off. \"We always go in groups. I would never let my girls go on their own,\" Kailash says. Her youngest daughter, 18-year-old Sonu, adds: \"We go straight to the toilet and back. Never deviate. Never go alone. And if we see a boy, we shout at him.\" It is important to tread carefully. Once the crops are cut and the fields are bare the whole ground space is open for anyone to use. It's literally like an open toilet. During sowing and harvesting, the fields are out of bounds. Then one has to walk for another 15 minutes, to an uncultivated area. The exercise that normally takes 45 minutes to an hour stretches to an hour and 15 minutes, or more. Darkness gives the women cover, and a degree of privacy, which is very important to them, but it in some ways it makes them more vulnerable. They are keen to get the process over as quickly as possible. The unspoken rule is that the men go to the toilet only at dawn, but boys sometimes break this rule, in order to harass or molest members of the opposite sex. The women tell stories of catcalling, and groping - though will never admit that has happened to them, only to others. Sonu's advice, if a boy appears? \"Always be aggressive.\" Her elder sister Seema says she would not shy from giving the boys a slap if they dared touch her sisters. The group tells a story about one woman from the village who foolishly went to the fields alone, and suddenly found herself illuminated by the lights of a passing lorry. The lorry stopped, and the driver got out. The woman was forced to run for safety. The mother of one of the girls found hanged in Uttar Pradesh confided to me that she always accompanied her daughter to the fields but this one time she had let them go alone - a decision she said she'd always regret. No toilet paper is ever used in the village, only water, though after returning from the fields, the women usually have a proper wash with soap. Then there is a long wait until the next trip to the open-air toilet after darkness falls in the evening, some 14 or 15 hours later. The women have no choice but to contain any desire to urinate or defecate, if necessary for hours on end. But last year Sonu fell sick with an upset stomach. \"She needed a toilet urgently, so, I filled water in a bottle and took her to the fields during daytime,\" says Kailash. \"I stayed with her for three hours. I spread a sheet under a tree, so she could rest every few minutes, we had to stay till she felt that she wouldn't need to go to the toilet anymore.\" They don't like to talk about it, but the women of Kurmaali eventually admit that in cases of emergency, children or elderly people may use a kind of toilet pan inside the house. It's hard for them to disinfect it though, so after a few days it begins to smell and has to be thrown away. They make clear how disgusting they find this topic. In fact, many think of open-air toilets as the natural way of defecation. Seema, Kailash's eldest daughter, spent a few years at a boarding school, which had an enclosed private toilet. She quickly became accustomed to it, but nonetheless regards this kind of toilet as a necessity born out of modern living. \"Our school and hostel were in big buildings, there were no fields around them, so they had to build toilets,\" she says. At the only school in Kurmaali itself, for some 300 day pupils, I found two toilets but they were clearly not in use. One had no door, the other was full of bricks and other rubbish. When I asked one of the school governors why this was, he questioned why anyone would need a toilet. The school was right next to the fields, he pointed out. This infuriated the women accompanying me. The boys might be able to use the fields in daylight, they pointed out, but not the girls. Deadly cost Most of the men in the village work as daily labourers, or drivers. A few work in the fields. One of the few that has a private toilet is Santraj, a mason, who lives next door to Kailash. He built it eight years ago, at a cost of 10,000 rupees (£100), double the village's average monthly wage. The toilet sits on top of two 10ft-deep pits, which drain in such a way, he says, that there is no foul smell. The pits will need to be emptied one day, but should last 10 years. But why have Santraj and a few others got a toilet when the vast majority of the villagers have not? He says it's because he has only four children, while most families have at least half a dozen to support. Also, he points out, the lack of a toilet doesn't usually bother men. \"Men can go anywhere, any time,\" he says. \"It is only the women who need protection and cover.\" Even in the cities, it is common to see men in India urinating in public against a wall. In Kurmaali it is interesting to note how the families spend their limited incomes. The streets are dotted with motorbikes and the occasional car, luxury items mostly acquired as part of a dowry. Kailash's dowry did not include a motorbike, but her husband has purchased a television set and a satellite dish - even though the electricity comes on for four hours every day at most. He could probably have afforded a toilet, with the help of a government grant available for this purpose. But while Kailash's husband treats his wife well, doesn't drink alcohol or abuse her physically, a toilet was not his priority. \"Toilets are not so important for men,\" Kailash says. \"And I can't throw a tantrum about this, women don't do that here.\" Divya Arya reported from Kurmaali for the Fifth Floor, on the BBC World Service.

Current President Thomas Boni Yayi described the former president as a great man and declared a week of official mourning. Analysis: Abdourahmane Dia, BBC Afrique The peaceful transfer of power in Benin in 1991 showed people in the region that a change of president can be achieved without violence. The 1991 election was followed closely in West Africa and Mathieu Kerekou's willingness to step down - becoming the first regional leader to accept defeat at the ballot box - was welcomed. His ideological shift, from hardline Marxist-Leninist to believing in multi-party elections, was in part due to the poor state of Benin's economy at the end of the 1980s, but also because of a change in global politics as the Cold War came to an end. A speech in 1990 by then French President Francois Mitterrand to African leaders calling for an opening up of democracy on the continent also had a big impact. Mr Kerekou responded to this call and is remembered with pride in Benin as the one who ushered in a new era in West Africa. Mr Kerekou abandoned Marxism-Leninism as Benin's official ideology in December 1989. He was under pressure because of the difficult economic situation and faced a series of protests. He stepped down in 1991 after losing to Nicephore Soglo in a multi-party poll, but returned to power in 1996 having beaten Mr Soglo at the polls and then went on to win a second and final five-year term in 2001.",

David Odd, HMRC's assistant director of fraud investigation, said: \"The last two years have seen important changes in the way we work with our partners to tackle serious and organised crime. \"Through this collaboration we have shared resources, tactics and information with great success from the outset. \"Undoubtedly, this has helped us by bringing extra strength to bear on the people who were profiting from criminality, and helped us in our efforts to systematically dismantle organised crime groups from all angles.\" Spain continues to be the main country with organised crime links to Scotland, with China, the Netherlands and Ireland also featuring in the work at Gartcosh. But police have investigated links with three new countries - Nepal, Germany and Slovenia - in relation to immigration crime, drugs and tobacco fraud. Other countries where investigations have focused include: Vietnam, Brazil, Albania, Latvia, Cyprus, Belgium, United Arab Emirates, Portugal, Bulgaria, Poland, Morocco and Bangladesh. The types of commodities include drugs, cash, firearms, counterfeit items, new psychoactive substances, vehicles, plant, tobacco, jewellery, people, metals and electronic media. Police Scotland's Fugitive Action Search Team has used its international links to execute 320 warrants in six continents for 298 people since April 2013. Fugitives have been brought back to Scotland from Jamaica, Spain, Portugal and Thailand in relation to serious organised crime including a firearms offence, murder, stalking and historic sex abuse.",

            "input": "By Helen BriggsBBC environment correspondent The brown marmorated stink bug has been spotted at three places in England so far, but experts are warning that it may become more widespread. The Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) said gardeners should be on their guard for the insect. It could appear alongside more familiar animals such as slugs, snails and the box tree caterpillar. Andy Salisbury, principal entomologist at the RHS, said the pests and diseases that gardeners commonly face on their plots have fluctuated over the last 25 years. \"With gardens taking on a more important role in supporting wellbeing and the environment, it's important that research into management and mitigation of them continues and our rankings help inform this focus,\" he said. \"It's also imperative that we continue to anticipate future threats such as the disease Xylella, which is already present in Europe, and the marmorated stink bug, to protect our gardens for the future.\" The brown stink bug is one of a number of Asian insect species that have recently established and become a pest in the US, others being the harlequin ladybird, the emerald ash borer and the Asian longhorn. Of these, only the harlequin ladybird is firmly established the UK, where it is now the most common ladybird species. Insect curator at London's Natural History Museum, Max Barclay, predicts that the brown stink bug could establish in parts of the South East of England and may spread further with climate change. \"The brown marmorated stink bug is very similar to many harmless native species, so we hope people won't go out and start squashing everything similar!\" he said. \"We are only trying to determine how widespread it is at this stage, and we are happy to identify specimens sent to the museum's Facebook group or via email. \" The three sightings so far have been in Essex, Surrey, and in the Museum's Wildlife Garden. The warning came as the RHS released its latest tally of pests plaguing gardens, with slugs and snails topping the list. The box tree caterpillar slipped down the rankings as its march slows across England and Wales. Honey fungus topped the list of diseases, as it has for 25 years. With more people spending time in their garden during lockdown, the RHS reported an 88% increase in pest and disease enquiries last year. The RHS conducts research on a wide range of plant pests and disease. This work will move to new science laboratories at RHS Garden Wisley, which will be opened to the public in June.

Boris Johnson said the public \"must not let them down\" by being complacent about social distancing, and he would \"not hesitate\" to reimpose restrictions if the number of Covid-19 cases rises. \"Targeted local\" measures would replace \"blanket national\" ones, he said. 'Disciplined approach' England's chief medical officer, Prof Chris Whitty, who spoke alongside Mr Johnson at Friday's Downing Street briefing, said no-one watching would think the easing was a risk-free step but that \"there is no perfect, exact way of doing it\". He also warned of the risk of coronavirus spreading in pubs. \"There's no doubt these are environments whose principal job it is to bring people together. That's a great thing to do socially, but it's also a great thing from the virus's point of view,\" he said. \"And therefore we do have to have a really clear and really disciplined approach to try and maintain social distancing whilst also enjoying pubs.\" Mr Johnson said: \"The success of these businesses, the livelihoods of those who rely on them and ultimately the economic health of the whole country is dependent on every single one of us acting responsibly.\" \"We must not let them down,\" he said, adding that he wanted people to \"enjoy summer safely\". Pubs have been told they must wait until 06:00 BST to reopen as a \"precaution\" to avoid midnight parties. And pub-goers are being encouraged to book tables in advance, while live gigs and standing at the bar will not be allowed. The 35,000 or so pubs and small bars trading in England have been closed since 20 March - a day when 645 positive coronavirus cases were announced. On Friday, 544 new coronavirus cases were announced, the lowest daily figure since 17 March - while there were 137 further deaths confirmed, taking the UK total past 44,000. As well as the easing of restrictions on the hospitality industry, social distancing rules will change from 2m to \"one metre plus\" - meaning you should take additional precautions when people are within less than 2m. The rule changes come days after a local lockdown was put in place in Leicester because of a spike in cases, with residents advised not to travel and businesses and schools remaining closed. Mr Johnson said \"good progress\" was being made towards the reopening of other businesses - such as gyms, nail salons and night clubs - and that a timetable will be set out next week. Outbreaks of coronavirus are inevitable. The virus is now at much lower levels, but it has not gone away and may never go away. Until we have a vaccine it will always pose a threat. We have already seen outbreaks in Leicester, Weston-super-Mare and Kirklees. Relaxing lockdown will make them more common. Remember, this is a virus that thrives on close contact - the more people we come into contact with, the more coronavirus will spread. It was true in March, when lockdown came in, and it is true now. However, outbreaks are not a massive problem as long as they can be contained. If they can be spotted and rapidly stopped then an outbreak may cause local disruption, but not \"National Lockdown Two\". This will be the challenge for NHS test and trace. However, some scientists are concerned lockdown is being lifted too quickly and that we are not yet able to stay on top of the virus. The danger is failing to stop an outbreak could lead to coronavirus spreading widely and cases surging. During the briefing, the prime minister laid out a five-step approach to tackling local outbreaks. This will involve authorities monitoring data, engaging with local agencies and carrying out testing. At the fourth stage, targeted restrictions, Mr Johnson said activities will be restricted \"at particular locations\" with \"individual premises\" made to close. The final stage would be a local lockdown, which he said would be \"carefully calibrated depending on the scientific circumstances of each outbreak\". Prof Whitty said the country would see both health and economic problems as a result of the pandemic and the government was trying to \"walk this narrow path\". \"What this is is an attempt to balance, as best we can, in a way that makes it possible for society to be as close as possible to normal, whilst living alongside this virus - which we will have to continue to do,\" he said. He added that there is a \"real possibility\" of a second wave - which \"goes up sharply\" if people do not take social distancing measures seriously. \"This possibility will exist with us for a very long time, so we have to prepare for that,\" he said. \"The best thing to do is to make that as unlikely as possible.\" What about the rest of the UK? Each UK nation's lockdown measures differ, including varying rules on the reopening of food and drink outlets. In Northern Ireland, pubs and restaurants could reopen on Friday. In Scotland, beer gardens and outdoor restaurants will be allowed to reopen from 6 July, and indoor areas can be used from 15 July. The Welsh government has promised talks with the hospitality sector about a \"potential phased\" reopening, but no dates have yet been given. The Department of Health and Social Care said 44,131 people had died in hospitals, care homes and the wider community after testing positive for coronavirus in the UK as of 17:00 on Thursday - a daily rise of 137.",

He pleaded guilty to four counts of common assault of an emergency worker. Hird, of Carlton Square, was given an eight-month prison sentence, suspended for 18 months, at Nottingham Crown Court on Wednesday. When police arrived at the flat Hird, who was holding the axe, threatened to hurt the officers if they did not leave before going into his bedroom. While officers were trying to negotiate he threw down the axe and started throwing objects at them. He then spat in the face of one officer and also spat at another, before being Tasered. Hird was ordered to forfeit two axes, perform 20 days of rehabilitation activity and undergo treatment for drug dependency. He was also ordered to pay a surcharge of £149. Nottinghamshire Police said the case comes after more than 60 incidents where \"front-line workers have been coughed on or spat on\".

Last month the company's shares plunged after it announced that the pensions regulator and the Pension Protection Fund (PPF) had rejected its attempt to put its pension plans into a protection fund. It warned then that it may have to appoint administrators if the talks fail. Administrators at KPMG, said the firm collapsed with a pension debt of £129m.

Polish developer CD Projekt Red told staff mandatory overtime would be introduced in the weeks leading up to the November release of the game. The company said it was \"one of the hardest decisions\" it has had to make. Last year, its chief executive had promised to allow staff to opt out of extra hours. The announcement comes after months of delays to the game. Cyberpunk 2077 was originally scheduled to launch in April, but the date was initially pushed back to September, and is now due in November. \"These last six weeks are our final sprint on a project we've all spent much of our lives on,\" said Adam Badowski, head of studio at CD Projekt Red, in a post on Twitter. \"The majority of the team understands that push.\" Some staff have already been working nights and weekends for more than a year, one anonymous employee told Bloomberg. 'Full backlash' \"Starting today, the entire (development) studio is in overdrive,\" Mr Badowski reportedly wrote in an email to staff, adding that the overtime would amount to one extra day each week. \"I take it upon myself to receive the full backlash for the decision. I know this is in direct opposition to what we've said about crunch. \"It's also in direct opposition to what I personally grew to believe a while back - that crunch should never be the answer. But we've extended all other possible means of navigating the situation.\" According to Polish law, a standard working week is 40 hours within five working days, which amounts to eight hours on average per day. However, there is an exception to this rule if the employer has special needs. Mr Badowski said employees will be \"well compensated for every extra hour they put in\", as required by law. The 'crunch' In recent years, developers have been criticised for overworking staff - often with no additional pay - in the run-up to a game's release. Dubbed \"the crunch\", it's something major companies - including Electronic Arts, Rockstar Games and Epic Games -have all been accused of. Last year, Marcin Iwinski, CD Projekt Red's co-founder, and Mr Badowski, promised to avoid over-working staff, as they wanted to make their company a more \"humane\" place to work. \"We are known for treating gamers with respect,\" Mr Iwinski said to news website Kotaku. \"I actually would [like] for us to also be known for treating developers with respect.\"",

Close to 230,000 have died. There are only a handful of countries that haven't been touched by the pandemic. On Thursday, we told you about the lives of seven people in the UK who died on 12 April, the day the country officially surpassed 10,000 hospital deaths. These are the stories of four other deaths on three continents that also happened that day. Maria Pollidori was admitted to hospital in central Italy in late February for a stomach cancer operation. Everything seemed to have gone smoothly, and her family looked forward to her return. But on 9 April they received a call from the hospital saying the 84 year old had tested positive for coronavirus. Italy has been one of the countries worst-hit by coronavirus. The central region of Marche, where Maria and her family live, has recorded thousands of cases. But Maria's family had no idea that she had been showing any symptoms. Three days after they received the call from the hospital, she passed away. Her son Pierluigi said the hardest thing was not being able to be close to her \"at the time she needed us most\". Maria's death was not only felt by her family. As a nurse and midwife of 25 years she was well known in and around the small seaside town of Porto Potenza. But because of the pandemic, no-one was able to pay their respects to her at a funeral. It is a story that echoes throughout the country. Thousands of miles away in the US state of Texas, Phillip Tsai-Brooks and his husband Anthony were both in hospital with Covid-19 on 12 April. It was love at first sight when the pair were introduced through mutual friends. They married in 2014 on a cruise ship in San Francisco Bay, and brought Phillip's widowed mother on their honeymoon to Puerto Rico - as they often did on their much-loved international travels. In a statement to the BBC, Phillip's brothers said Phillip and Anthony were able to break barriers, and were accepted as a couple in the city of San Antonio, where they were known for the joy they brought to people's lives. Phillip, one of five brothers, had always dreamed of being a hair stylist and one day opening his own salon. His ambitions were realised when he opened the Extreme Opulence Hair Studio. More recently, he had been teaching others in the profession. Only child Anthony, known as Tony, spent several years in the US Air Force before working for his local council, helping with budget planning for the city of Live Oak. A colleague said he was \"smarter about city budgets than most people\", and described him as \"one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet\". The charismatic military veteran would regularly bring sweets into work for the local mayor, dropping them in a jar on her desk, he said. Relatives and friends of the men described them as the perfect couple. They dreamed of one day adopting their own children. But their lives and dreams were tragically interrupted by the outbreak of coronavirus. In a Facebook post in late March, 42-year-old Phillip said he was feeling unwell and had been told to quarantine as a precaution. Six days later, he said he was in hospital with confirmed coronavirus. \"Be here for a couple of days… then quarantine,\" he wrote. Anthony, 52, was taken to a different hospital, suffering similar symptoms. In what Phillip's brothers described as the final chapter of their love story, Tony was moved from another healthcare system into the same hospital as Phillip. As their conditions deteriorated, they lay in rooms next to each other. Phillip passed away on 12 April after suffering a heart attack as a complication of Covid-19. Just two days later, Anthony died. \"Such a tragic loss but their love will last forever,\" Phillip's brothers said. Elsewhere in North America, Victor Batista Falla had recently returned to Cuba, the country of his birth, for the first time in 60 years. The 87 year old was born into one of the wealthiest families in the country, with his father's side founding a bank and his mother descending from rich sugar planters. He fled the country in 1960, after Fidel Castro and his revolutionary forces ousted President Fulgencio Batista. Victor then became a prominent figure of Cuban exile literature, founding the journals Exilio and Escandalar in New York. After moving to Madrid, he opened the publishing house Colibrí, through which he published numerous essays about Cuba. France-based Cuban writer William Navarrete met Victor in the Spanish capital in 1996 at a cafe popular with Cuban exiles. After their first meeting, the pair saw each other whenever William was in Madrid. William described Victor as a man who hated confrontation and gossip, and who was protective of his privacy. \"He was a bon vivant, but very measured,\" William said of his friend. \"He never ostentatiously displayed relationships and never boasted about the things he did.\" Victor's high-profile relationships extended far beyond Cuba. He was the uncle of the Grand Duchess of Luxembourg and a statement from the duke and duchess said his death was a \"great loss\" for the family. William said Victor never spoke of his connection to the royals and did not like to talk about his family's vast wealth. \"Once I asked him if he was nostalgic for the lavish life he had had in Cuba until the age of 27,\" William recalled. \"He replied that he was nostalgic for the things he wanted to do and that he had not done.\" After 60 years away from the country, Victor quietly returned to Cuba in February. It's not clear what led him to return. William did not know anything of the trip until he read a newspaper article telling him that his friend had died there of Covid-19. In the early hours of 3 December, 1984, a valve broke in a storage tank inside a chemical factory in the central Indian city of Bhopal. Soon after, a deadly cloud of gas escaped from the factory into the surrounding neighbourhoods. It became one of the deadliest industrial disasters in modern history. Thousands of people died, and tens of thousands more needed treatment. Among them was Imran Khan, who was just a young boy when the disaster happened. Two years ago, he developed mouth cancer, believed to be a result of the leak, and had to give up work. After surviving his initial cancer, it returned again, and he was forced to undergo more chemotherapy. His condition deteriorated in recent weeks and he died on 12 April. Later tests confirmed that he had contracted coronavirus. A group representing survivors of the gas tragedy have accused the local government of turning their backs on people like Imran. They say five gas leak survivors died of coronavirus within days of each other. A hospital set up for gas victims was converted into a facility for coronavirus patients. The Bhopal Group for Information and Action says gas victims were then ignored, despite being particularly vulnerable to the virus because of their health conditions. Imran's older brother Rashid Khan is now looking after his wife and son. \"The wellbeing of his entire family is on my shoulders,\" he told BBC Hindi.

            "input": "By Richard AndersonBusiness reporter, BBC News And for many reasons - the parlous state of the UK economy and the Bank's new and vastly expanded role within it, not to mention the new boss's reputation as one of the most charismatic central bankers around. Perhaps most important of all, however, he is the first foreigner to run the Bank in its more than 300-year history. In other words, he is something of an outsider, and will be scrutinised all the more for it. So what can we, and he, expect from his first few weeks in charge? A lot to live up to Mr Carney will have to convince his new colleagues, the City and the media he is up the job. And here, his reputation could be as much of a hindrance as a help. Being described by Chancellor George Osborne as the \"outstanding central banker of his generation\" is quite some introduction. No pressure there then. His appointment was almost universally praised in the media, which saw it as bold and imaginative. Whether it was viewed as such within the Bank, given that deputy governor Paul Tucker was odds-on favourite for the job, is another matter. Mr Tucker has since announced he will be leaving the Bank. What is certain, though, is that expectations are almost impossibly high. Settling in The new boss will have to settle in to what appears, at least from the outside, to be a rather stuffy, old-school institution. David Blanchflower, ex-member of the Bank's Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) and Professor of Economics at Dartmouth College in the US, describes it as \"stodgy\". \"There is an unwritten rule that if you want to take your jacket off [at meetings], you have to wait for the governor. The Bank is very stuffy. The Federal Reserve is not like that, and Mark Carney is not like that.\" Whether he adapts to the Bank's culture or it adapts to him will be important. No doubt a balance will be struck, but Prof Blanchflower is in no doubt the new boss will have to bring in his own people and \"start cracking heads\". This, he argues, is the backdrop to the appointment of the Bank's first chief operating officer last month, Charlotte Hogg - the first senior female appointment in the Bank's history. Honeymoon period In his first week in the job, Mr Carney will chair the MPC's monthly meeting. It is here that the tone will be set for the rest of his five-year tenure, and the notes of the meeting published two weeks later will give an important insight in to how receptive the rest of the committee is to his ideas. Vicky Redwood at Capital Economics believes now is the time for him to push through change, when the feel-good factor may encourage a renewed spirit of co-operation. For there are major divisions within the MPC. Mr Carney's predecessor Sir Mervyn King was outvoted for five straight months when the committee voted six-three against expanding the Bank's policy of quantitative easing (QE), essentially pumping money into the economy to help stimulate growth. And it's not just the MPC Mr Carney needs to keep onside. The press is a fickle beast and questions have already been raised about his £480,000 salary, while comments from his wife about the difficulty of finding acceptable accommodation for their £250,000 a year housing allowance could come back to bite. Questions are also being raised about the current state of the Canadian economy, hitherto held up as an example of how to withstand a global financial crisis. As Ms Redwood says: \"Mr Carney may be getting out at the right time.\" Down to business Whether Mr Carney has arrived in the UK at the right time depends on your view of the economy. \"In a way, he has been given something of a poisoned chalice,\" says Prof Blanchflower. \"The economy is not in recovery, it is not healing, it is not [even] out of intensive care.\" Ms Redwood sees things differently, arguing there has been a tentative recovery, but what is certain is that more needs to be done to turn the economy round. And this is what Mr Carney has been brought in to do. There are a number of obvious places he can start. First is to expand QE and inject more money into the economy. Mr Carney may be able to persuade his colleagues to do so if the Bank widens the remit of QE beyond buying gilts, says Ms Redwood. Buying up private sector assets to the tune of £10bn has already been agreed in principle, for example. Mr Carney could also cut interest rates further, and after the Bank's deputy governor Charlie Bean raised the subject recently, this option is \"back on table\", says Prof Blanchflower. Reducing the rate paid on bank reserves, as a way of encouraging them to lend more, is another possibility. Boosting bank lending will also be a priority. This is likely to be a popular commitment among the MPC given its enthusiasm for the government's Funding for Lending Scheme, which is specifically designed to lift bank lending. Mr Carney could, for example, relax banks' liquidity restraints. One thing he is likely to introduce is some form of so-called forward guidance, essentially giving an indication of future policy. He has all but said he intends to be more open in this respect. You just have to look at markets' fearful reaction to Federal Reserve head Ben Bernanke's recent hints that the US's own QE programme may begin winding down at the end of this year to see the importance of managing the expectations of investors. Reassurances that interest rates will remain low for a set period would, for example, allay many investors' fears. Such a commitment could even be pegged to the rate of unemployment - until it falls below a certain level, rates will remain on hold. Of course it's one thing making promises and quite another convincing others to believe them, let alone making them happen. What is certain, however, is that double dip or no double dip, the economy is struggling to show any signs of meaningful recovery and Mr Carney has a great opportunity to push through policies to help stimulate growth. Just as importantly, markets expect him to do so.",

            "input": "By Judith BurnsEducation reporter, BBC News The report from the Business Innovation and Skills Committee is the second in a week where MPs have attacked government policy on overseas students. It comes as London Metropolitan University plans legal action over a ban on recruiting overseas students. Immigration Minister Mark Harper rejected the suggested change. The report, Overseas Students and Net Migration, follows Tuesday's criticism from the Public Accounts Committee of attempts to tighten the student visa system as \"poorly planned and ill thought-out\" and creating \"chaos\". Both reports call on the government to record overseas students under a classification that does not count against the overall limit on net migration in order to allow the UK to continue to expand its share of the overseas student market. 'World leaders' The new report says that UK universities are rightly considered to be world leaders in higher education with an \"enviable track record of attracting bright overseas students to study in the UK\". Adrian Bailey MP, the chairman of the Business Innovation and Skills Committee, said that overseas students \"contribute significantly to our economy as well as to our reputation as a world-class place to do business. \"The committee notes the government's desire to reduce net migration - however, there is a clear conflict between this policy and the desire to attract more overseas students to the UK. \"The committee argues that, for domestic policy purposes, overseas students should be recorded under a separate classification and not be counted against the overall limit on net migration, along similar lines to the United States. In a statement, the newly appointed immigration minister, Mark Harper, maintained the Home Office's long-standing line that overseas students should remain part of net migration figures and that the United Nations definition of a migrant includes overseas students. \"We want the brightest and the best to come to the UK and there is no limit on the number of overseas students who can study at our world class institutions. \"The government does not consider it appropriate to deviate from the internationally agreed definition of a migrant, not least because students access services like health, transport and housing in the same way as someone on a work or family visa.\" 'Crackdown' Nicola Dandridge, chief executive of Universities UK, welcomed the report: \"We must be careful about the ways legitimate concerns at home about immigration could damage our international reputation as a welcoming place to study. \"Far from deflecting the public's concerns about immigration, we believe that taking students out of the net migration equation would create a more open and focused public debate on immigration. \"It would also mean universities could work better with government in targeting any international students who should not be here.\" Shadow Home Office minister Nick Bryant said the government should focus on the worsening illegal immigrant situation rather than stopping the legitimate students. He said: \"Clearly there needs to be a continued crackdown on bogus colleges, as there has been under successive governments. \"We need to reverse the fall in deportation of those who break the rules, and the rise in people absconding through immigration controls.\" General secretary of the UCU academics union Sally Hunt said: \"Finally we are hearing some sensible and measured voices in the debate over international students and immigration. \"It is particularly encouraging that the committee tasked with overseeing higher education recognises the widespread benefits overseas students bring to the UK and the huge damage that is being done by the alarming message that they are not welcome here.\" Liam Burns, NUS President said the cross-party case for changing international student visas policy is now overwhelming. \"The government must urgently follow the lead of Australia and the US and recognise that international students are not permanent migrants but rather come for the purpose of temporary study and should be treated accordingly.\" Last week London Metropolitan University's licence to sponsor students from outside the European Union was revoked by the UK Border Agency (UKBA), leaving more than 2,000 students possibly facing deportation. The university is now no longer able to teach or recruit overseas students but has announced plans for legal action against the ban. The UKBA has pledged to \"strongly contest\" any legal action. It has said it has evidence that more than a quarter of a sample of students studying at the university did not have permission to stay in the country and there were \"systemic failings\" in the system.",

            "input": "At best we need to more than double the amount of trees we plant to achieve our carbon reduction targets, experts have said. Here are some of the things our readers wanted to know about tree planting. Can I plant trees anywhere? Stuart James, 27, from Bath, said he wanted to be \"a part of the change we all need to make\". \"I haven't got a lot of land but can you just plant trees wherever you like?\" he asked. You can plant trees in your own garden as long as roots and branches would not damage nearby properties, according to the Woodland Trust. In England, you would not need planning permission to plant less than two hectares (20,000 sq metres) in a low risk area, it said. Otherwise you would need an Environmental Impact Assessment from the Forestry Commission. Trees can only be planted around your local area with the landowners' permission, The Tree Council warned. You should not plant trees on archaeological sites, places with rare or protected species, grassland that has never been ploughed, wetlands and heathland, the Woodland Trust said. Which are the best trees to plant? Trevor Ley, 43, from Woolwich in south east London, asked: \"What small tree or plant could households grow in their gardens to best absorb carbon? \"I feel it is very important to support tree planting as, living in London, you see many green spaces disappear to become high-rise developments,\" he said. Mr Ley said his children Alexander, six, and Isaac, three, enjoyed putting the gardening tips they learned at school into practice at home. Long-living native species such as oak and maple are effective at storing carbon dioxide, according to the Woodland Trust. But these could grow to be very large so trees such as Hazel, Blackthorn, Crab Apple and Goat Willow were suitable for smaller spaces, the trust said. Medium-sized tree options include Elder, Field Maple, Hawthorn, Holly and Yew. The Tree Council suggested people \"copy nature by planting trees already successful on or near the site\". What can I do locally? Dana Druka, 24, from Scotland, now lives in Birmingham. She said she found it difficult to find a local tree planting scheme flexible enough to fit around university and work. \"I think planting trees can offer huge benefits,\" she said. \"From improving personal fitness and mental health, creating wonderful shared spaces for communities and ultimately being proactive in fighting climate change.\" Joshua Watkins, 18, from Bury St Edmunds in Suffolk, said news articles and charities told people about the problems but not the solutions. \"If everyone did at least a little something then surely that's better than one organisation trying to do something big on their own?\" he said. The Tree Council has a national network of local tree volunteers and local councils should be able to point anyone in the right direction. Many forests have schemes allowing people to dedicate a tree to a loved one. Should developers plant one tree per new house? Natalie Parker, 27, from Banbury in Oxfordshire, said: \"I live on a established estate and have lots of trees to look at from my garden and love listening to the birds they attract. \"I think the government should introduce a rule that all new-build properties should plant a tree in the garden. \"Trees will attract wildlife to these new estates and also offer shade and privacy to residents.\" Hazel Sniadowski got in touch to tell us that when she moved to Milton Keynes in 1984 she received a £10 tree voucher. \"If this scheme was rolled out it would help towards the carbon neutral aim,\" she said. Even if every household with a garden in the UK planted two trees they would amount to 45 million. This would still only be about 3% of the total number of trees the Woodland Trust has estimated the UK needs to plant by 2050 in order to reach net zero emissions - 1.5 billion. Where can I go for more information? Chris Johns, 65, from Hurst Green in Surrey, asked which organisations offered advice about planting trees. \"Apart from the CO2 benefits of woodlands they are so pleasant on the eye and on the soul - having more woodlands must be win-win,\" he said. There are lots of resources on the websites of the Forestry Commission, Woodland Trust, Royal Horticultural Society and The Tree Council.

Mr Ongwen has been accused of 70 war crimes and crimes against humanity. His defence is likely to use his past as a former child soldier and kidnap victim as part of a plea for leniency. Prosecutors used Thursday's confirmation-of-charges hearing to try to convince judges there is enough evidence for Mr Ongwen to stand trial. They said Mr Ongwen had used schoolgirls as sex slaves, conscripted child soldiers and, in at least one instance, ordered his men to kill, cook and eat civilians. Images shown in the session included a video of shallow graves in the aftermath of an attack. The hearings were broadcast in the northern Ugandan town of Lukodi, one of the places where Mr Ongwen is accused of carrying out atrocities. The BBC's Catherine Byaruhanga says lots of people went to watch. The prosecution is focusing on attacks on four displaced camps housing civilians driven out by the LRA's violence. Mr Ongwen, born in 1975, surrendered in January 2015. He was abducted by the LRA when he was 10 years old and rose to become one of its commanders. His lawyers are likely to argue he had a traumatised youth as part of a plea for leniency, the BBC's Anna Holligan at the Hague says. Dressed in a grey suit, lilac shirt and grey tie, Mr Ongwen rose to say that reading out the charges was a \"waste of time\". He is believed to have been a deputy of LRA commander Joseph Kony, who is still on the run. Over the next five days, the defence and prosecution will have a chance to outline their arguments.

He survived, but only learnt about their deaths six weeks later when he woke up in a hospital bed. \"If I didn't fear God, I would have committed suicide at that moment,\" he recalls. \"I would have jumped off a building... but God gave me patience.\" The family had lived in the Houthi rebel stronghold of Saada, which has come under intense aerial bombardment by the Saudi-led coalition supporting the exiled President Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi. The air strike hit their home at around midnight, says Abdullah. Rescuers with bulldozers worked until morning to retrieve the bodies buried under the rubble. Seventeen were children - the youngest, Abdullah's granddaughter, Inas, was one month old. Three of his adult sons also made it out alive. Since the war in Yemen began early last year, civilians have paid a heavy price, with more than 4,000 killed, the vast majority by Saudi-led air strikes alone, according to the UN. Surviving on memories Abdullah spends most of his time alone now, in the room in a local mosque where he lives. He looks forward to visits from his sons, who live elsewhere in the city. The nights are particularly difficult. Abdullah sustained injuries to his head, spine and jaw and needs treatment that is not available in Saada, but it is not just the physical pain that keeps him awake. He is haunted by the memories of the life he had. \"Sometimes I sleep two, three hours and then I wake up and stay up until morning... I remember my children and my home,\" he says. \"Our lives were humble but it was a quiet life, a good life, we were happy... we lost everything.\" Abdullah had grown up in the central province of Ibb and later moved to Saada, opening two barber shops where he and his sons worked. \"I struggled and worked over the years and built our home brick-by-brick,\" he said. Hope for future In the 18 months since the tragedy, despite numerous interviews and visits from representatives of various organisations, Abdullah's remaining family have received no financial support. They have been left in debt, after they were forced to borrow money to pay for medical treatment for Abdullah's son, Yunus. Yunus spent six months in hospital, having suffered heavy shrapnel wounds and the loss of one eye. \"I want to give my sons their lives back. I want to see them settled in their own homes,\" says Abdullah. He is distraught as he names his youngest children - Ismail, Ibrahim, Ishaaq and Yaaqoub - who were always at his side. But the recent birth of his grandson has brought Abdullah joy in the midst of his unfathomable loss. His son, Ayman, has named his baby boy Ismail, in memory of his youngest brother, who was two years old when he was killed. Abdullah describes seeing Ismail for the first time: \"I felt like I'd been given the world... I felt that God had compensated us for what we've lost.\" He says his hope is that Ismail will not see what his family has witnessed. \"I hope he doesn't see this humiliation and war...

And while those who died in the fire were remembered, there was also comment on what has taken place since - and what more importantly still needs to be done. On a cold and crisp December morning, there was a noticeable silence around St Paul's as people stopped to reflect. The poignant lull continued as survivors, friends and families of those affected by the fire quietly began to make their way into the cathedral. This silence was only broken when the majestic bells of St Paul's tolled across the City of London at 10:30. At the same time a spontaneous ripple of applause broke out from the crowd as firefighters made their way up the cathedral steps. It was a sign of the gratitude for the efforts of the emergency services on the night of 14 June. The bells continued to chime for 30 minutes, a mark of respect to the 71 who died in Grenfell Tower. And it is clear why the survivors chose St Paul's, a cathedral where so many services of national significance have taken place over the years. One mourner, Damel Carayol, 55, who lost his 44-year-old cousin Mary Mandy in the fire, said the service was needed and the venue fitting. \"It recognises the tragedy on a national level,\" he said. \"It's a step, but the biggest step will be accountability.\" And while the service was being held it became apparent that the anger and uncertainty on display in the aftermath of the fire remained. There are currently dozens of households still stuck in hotels. 'Big distraction' Outside St Paul's, Prof Chris Imafidon said he knows of 20 people who lost everything in the fire. \"It is a very sad day,\" he said. \"But the families want a service from the council, not a church service. \"This is just a big distraction from the fact that six months on many families are still homeless and will be spending Christmas in a hotel,\" he said. There was another moment of reflection after the service finished. Hundreds of relatives and survivors gathered on the steps of St Paul's, displaying single white roses and photographs of those who perished. Some survivors then went straight back to their hotels. But there was then a range of emotions on display as others moved on to St Paul's churchyard. Visibly upset, they hugged and consoled each other, while some continued to vent their anger and speak of feeling neglected.",

Robyn is used to seeing her family and more than anything wants to give them a big hug. She has been unable to see her mother and grandmother, with the two miles between their homes seeming more like 200. But Robyn has not been alone. Her daughter Skyla was born in June 2019, with Robyn's journey documented by the BBC Radio Tees Pregnant Teens podcast. When lockdown began on 23 March, Robyn, her boyfriend Lewis and their daughter were living in a two-bedroom terraced house in the Gresham area of Middlesbrough. \"I'm very close to mum and my nana so not being able to see them was quite hard at the beginning of lockdown,\" Robyn says. \"When we could go round in the garden it was still weird and upsetting because I couldn't give them a hug - I just had to say bye and walk away when we left. \"Skyla gets really agitated when we sit in the house all day - she's used to being out so if we're in the house all day she gets bored and moody and that puts me and my boyfriend in a mood. \"When lockdown started it meant that my mum couldn't have her overnight once a month like she did have, so that was quite stressful too.\" They also went through the trials and stresses of a house move. Robyn's mum paid for a removal van and the young couple packed everything up in a day and moved to a housing estate on the other side of town. \"When they were starting to ease lockdown we started packing and got the keys for our new house. \"We spent the night packing everything and got up early the next morning and moved in. \"It's a lot better here, we're a lot happier and more comfortable.\" As the 100th day of lockdown approached, so too did Skyla's first birthday. \"They said last week on the news that people could come round and sit in the garden,\" Robyn says. \"For Skyla's birthday we had a first birthday party in the garden and put party food on and had a cake. \"We didn't think we'd be able to celebrate it at all. \"It was nice to have family here but in a way I'm glad we were in lockdown because I would have felt like we should have a big party at a children's play centre which would have been a bit pointless really because Skyla can't walk.\" The past 100 days have been a trial for the young family but they have got through it. \"Since being a kid I've always been around my nana and it's been hard not seeing her,\" Robyn says. \"Lockdown has made me realise how much I rely on my family and how much I love them.\" Follow BBC North East & Cumbria on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.

Annual costs for the change will be about £12m, with costs split between government and individual councils. Until now it was up to councils to determine how much the grant was worth, with some offering as little as £20. The government said that the amount would be reviewed every two years to ensure that it remained in line with the cost of living. Analysis by Jamie McIvor, BBC Scotland education correspondent Two years ago BBC Scotland highlighted widespread discrepancies in the value of school clothing grants across the country. From this year they will be worth at least £100. Individual local authorities would be able to offer an even greater grant if they want to. They will still be able to decide exactly who should be eligible. The cost of school clothing can however vary too so, in that sense, the actual practical value of a £100 grant could vary. For instance, some schools or councils may have deals with particular suppliers which help bring down the cost. But there are also signs of just how hard it is for some families to pay for school clothes. For instance, there are \"uniform bank\" - schemes which allow parents to access second-hand clothes that are no longer needed, just as in some families clothes might be passed down from an older to a younger sibling. However, today's announcement is an important move which will help ensure greater consistency in the help available to low income families across the country. Education Secretary John Swinney said: \"Every child in Scotland should be able to attend school feeling comfortable, confident and ready to learn. \"We know that school uniforms can be a considerable cost for families which is why we have worked in partnership with Cosla to introduce a new national minimum school clothing grant. \"It will help relieve pressure on families, reduce costs of living and remove the stress and stigma which can often be associated with struggling to afford essential school items.\" Stephen McCabe, Cosla's spokesperson for children and young people, described the announcement as a \"step in the right direction\". He said: \"Access to decent clothing is an important part of ensuring children have the best chance of getting the most from their education. \"Therefore it is only right that we do the best we can to create as much of a level playing field as we can in terms of school uniform.\" Support for parents John Dickie, director of the Child Poverty Action Group (CPAG) in Scotland, said the announcement was \"great news\" for families already struggling to pay for essentials. He said: \"£100 is now the absolute minimum grant that must be offered to families struggling on low incomes. \"Grants are already higher in some areas, and the actual cost of kitting out a child for school was recently calculated as £129.50. \"But this new £100 minimum provides a very welcome basic level of consistent support for parents, wherever they live in Scotland.\"",

Their names are important to me, because they focus my mind on them as individuals, as young girls, with a promising future ahead of them, with friends, siblings and parents. Yet, inevitably, we are in thrall to the bigger narrative: a troubling and growing sisterhood is being cultivated - it appears an estimated 200 to 300 European Muslim girls have made the same journey as Kadiza, Shamima and Amira. Why? What for? The term jihadi bride is particularly egregious, but there is some truth to it. Recently, I met some mothers of sons and daughters who have decided to join the self-styled caliphate. Three of the mothers had lost their sons in the fighting. One woman, from Sweden, by way of Somalia, told me about her daughter, who was lured to Syria by a man she says she was in love with. Her mother says IS use love as a recruiting tool. Once girls are persuaded that a warrior is in love with them, they in turn, can be used to recruit more girls and young women. Building a state We should, I suppose, remember it's a \"state\" that is being created. And it needs loyal subjects, not just fighters. It needs women, who will procreate. Another mother, with an absent daughter, this one from Belgium, speaks to her daughter by text message regularly. Her child also fell in love with a man thought to be a senior figure in the militant group. She was telling her mother that life was good for her, but it wasn't long before that changed. The reality and brutality made her uncomfortable, even as the partner of a senior jihadi. After her daughter gave birth to a boy, the woman tried to arrange her departure, but she was treated violently by the man who she thought loved her. It is unlikely that the now grandmother will see her daughter or her grandchild beyond the selfies she receives on her phone. Impressionable The British girls, Kadiza, Shamima and Amira are smart, promising students. I suspect they don't think they have thrown their lives away. Photographs of them at the airport show them striding with some determination. But they are still just children. And we know how impressionable they can be, how easy to manipulate. We know from Shamima's twitter account that she followed dozens of IS accounts, many of them women recruiters. This appears to be an issue of radicalisation and grooming: a twin track of romanticising the life they will have as part of a battle sanctioned by God, alongside the actual romance they might have with a warrior in that battle. When you are 15, that must seem so much more alluring than a day at school, especially if, like any other kind of sexual grooming, the victim genuinely believes the reality of their relationship with the adult. One site, Ask FM, collects information about young Muslim girls in particular: how pretty they are, their height, their weight. The only counter-narrative that might appeal to potential further recruits, is if girls such as Kadiza, Sultana, Shamima Begum and Amira Abase find a way of getting back to their lives in London, and tell the truth about how un-Islamic IS is; how unromantic it is to be part of a murderous cult and how unappealing it is to give up on your self, and your individuality. But the vortex into which they have disappeared means that may never happen.",

Unable to meet the deadline, it then dropped its name from 17 palm products. Iceland blamed technical issues, adding it did not want to \"mislead consumers\". The retailer said it was pushing its manufacturers \"hard\" to remove palm oil from the items that had previously been own-brand, but now had no branding. It added that it \"was not possible to remove palm oil at a manufacturing level in these products by 31 December 2018\", adding that it had been \"transparent\". Iceland said it had \"not given up\" on the nine frozen and eight chilled lines that had not yet been reformulated, which will have their branding reinstated by April. Consumer group Ethical Consumer said: \"In the cases where they have failed to reformulate products, simply re-labelling them is counter-productive.\" It added it was important for companies \"to be transparent about the ethical problems they are facing\". On Wednesday, the BBC revealed Iceland was still selling own-label palm oil products, despite promising to stop doing so by the end of 2018. Iceland blamed a \"website issue\" after the BBC was able to find 28 own-brand products for sale online containing palm oil. Many of the products online were later removed by the retailer, but own-label products containing palm oil were still available to buy in stores that day. Iceland insisted there were no own-label fresh items available that still contained palm oil. What did Iceland promise? \"The Iceland no palm oil pledge is that by the end of 2018, 100% of the supermarket's own label food lines will contain no palm oil, reducing demand for palm oil by more than 500 tonnes per year.\" Despite continuing to sell own-label products containing palm oil, Iceland has spent weeks telling its customers on social media that none of its products contains it, while its website states the company is \"simply saying no to palm oil\". Even before the end of 2018, Iceland tweeted one customer to say: \"There's no palm oil in our own-brand products.\" When the BBC pointed out that many of its own brand products still contained palm oil, Iceland said it was old stock and it now expected there to be no more products available to buy with palm oil \"within the next few weeks\".

Flybe and Monarch are said to be the worst offenders, putting a surcharge of 3% on bookings. However, the airlines argue that their charges do accurately reflect the cost of processing the payments. FF also accuses some local authorities of charging too much for paying by credit card. James Daley, the managing director of FF, said there were hundreds of companies he believed were in breach of section four of the Consumer Rights (Payment Surcharge) Regulations, which came into force in April 2013. \"If they choose to charge for accepting credit card payments - in spite of the strong public sentiment against these charges - then the rules make it very clear that they can only pass on the cost,\" he said. Trading Standards teams across the country should be investigating the issue, Mr Daley added. Monarch told the BBC that its 3% surcharge did reflect its costs in processing the payments. And it said that those who paid via Paypal do not pay a surcharge. \"Monarch's credit card surcharges are set to cover all of the related costs incurred by the company associated with taking payment by credit card,\" the airline said. \"When booking a flight at www.monarch.co.uk, charges are added to the total price of the booking and clearly itemised in the running total from the moment a customer select flights, right up to point of payment.\" Ryanair said: \"These claims are false. We fully comply with all EU regulations and our credit card charge reflects the cost of processing credit card payments, including bank charges.\" A Flybe spokesperson said the airline is \"fully compliant with the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS) Guide 'Consumer Protection Regulations March 2012' that very clearly explain the allowable costs that can be recovered through a payment surcharge\". It claimed to have been ahead of other airlines in 2012 by scrapping debit card charges for all online bookings. Some other airlines, such as Jet2, have dropped credit card charges altogether. British Airways charges a flat fee of £5. Charges However, FF believes that the cost of processing credit card payments should be covered by a 1% surcharge. One element of that cost is the so-called interchange fee: The amount that businesses or retailers have to pay to the bank or credit card company. Since December 2015 interchange fees have been capped at 0.3% of the transaction cost, under EU rules. Mr Daley said that should be the largest part of the cost - with other expenses making up a further 0.3%. \"That should mean that consumers are being charged no more than around 0.6% by large companies - and certainly no more than 1%,\" he said.

At first she said it made her drinking problem worse. \"It defeats the object because I just drank more at home, went out and caused absolute mayhem,\" she told Newsbeat. The 21-year-old is now back in rehab after getting arrested again on drink charges, her first offence in more than six months. 'Booze Asbo' Laura had a lot going for her when she left school in 2006 - a good group of friends, a supportive family and a batch of GCSEs. She started drinking heavily on nights out as a teenager. \"Typically it would be a bottle of wine before I went out and maybe a couple of cans,\" she said. \"Then pints and pints of Stella, double vodkas and shots. If I ran out of money I would walk round the club and drink everyone else's last dregs.\" She racked up a long list of convictions included assault, criminal damage and being drunk and disorderly. In April 2010 a judge, frustrated at Laura's 25th appearance in court, gave her the UK's first nationwide Drinking Banning Order. BBC TV blog: How we documented Laura Hall's battle with booze 'Drinking problem' Nicknamed a booze Asbo, the measure is meant to stop her buying alcohol at any pub, club or shop in England and Wales. \"It didn't stop me drinking at all. It made it worse because I felt isolated from everyone else and thought I had nothing to lose any more,\" she said. \"I just got my friends to go in and buy me alcohol. In other cities, there is not a police officer following you around 24/7, so how are they going to know?\" Laura says she made the decision to get help after her 21st birthday in June 2010. \"I realised I'd had a drinking problem for some time. I thought my life is going nowhere and I either end up dead, in prison or I change.\" \"I didn't think I could do it, but there was just a little glimmer of hope.\" In some ways, she was luckier than most people in her position. The media attention surrounding the drinking ban led to an offer of free residential care at a treatment centre overseas. Living up to her tabloid reputation, she turned up worse for wear after drinking a bottle of rum on the flight over. \"That wasn't the best move,\" she said. \"It was nerves because I realised this was my last chance.\" \"I remember the first weekend thinking all my friends are going out and getting drunk and feeling very sorry for myself.\" \"A few times I felt like walking out and then looked at myself in the mirror and thought I can't waste this opportunity.\" Return to rehab She was put on medication and spent days in group therapy and counselling. \"I found it really useful to meet people in the same situation. They had all been through similar things and didn't judge me.\" She returned home to Bromsgrove just in time for Christmas and New Year, a tough time of the year for a recovering alcoholic to meet up again with old friends. \"I went to London to see the fireworks and a lot of my friends were out getting wasted. It was uncomfortable but I thought if I can get through New Year's Eve, I can get through anything,\" she said. Then in mid-January she slipped up.

            "input": "Emily MaitlisPolitical editor, BBC Newsnight At stake? Labour's complicated and intimate relationship with the trade unions. Newsnight understands he is ready to unveil his long-awaited proposals to transform it. One senior party figure described it as \"potentially bigger than Clause 4\". Another, with serious concerns about Mr Miliband's proposals - and a taste perhaps for the dramatic - said \"it could alter the course of history\". Mr Miliband has been under pressure over the unions' grip on the Labour Party - exerted both through the £8m they contribute to party coffers each year and their role in choosing Labour leaders - since he beat his brother to the party leadership, largely thanks to the votes of unions who currently account for one-third of the electoral college that chooses Labour leaders. 'Fundamental change' And last summer, after the disaster that kept giving that was Falkirk - when Unite was accused of attempting to rig the process to select a Labour candidate in the by-election - Ed Miliband stood tall and declared it was time for change. He promised two key things: that union members would in future be asked to make a deliberate choice to back the party - what is termed \"opt-in\" support - as opposed to the automatic levy on each union member. And he accepted that there could be wider questions asked about the size of the union vote at party conference and the make-up of Labour's electoral college. Newsnight understands that the final arrangements for the reforms are being finalised right now - before they go to the National Executive Committee this weekend for approval. We've learnt that the way Labour leaders are elected will fundamentally change. Under the reforms, I understand that the party will move to a so-called one member, one vote system for choosing the Labour leader. MPs and MEPs, who currently have a third of the votes in the leadership election, will be relegated to a role in shortlisting candidates, a move likely to cause a backlash among Labour MPs. Each of the roughly 200,000 Labour members will get a single vote in choosing the leader, but so will a new class of so-called associate members - paying a membership fee of just £3 a year. And here's the catch: any trade unionist will be able to activate their right to become an associate member and vote in this election. And there are some 2.7m of them. What consequences will this have? Some senior figures who worry about the unions' grip on the party fear that a move aimed at diminishing organised-Labour's influence could end up handing them even more power than they had before: although they will lose their block votes, some fear that the unions will use their formidable organisation machines to register large numbers of associate members, and then attempt to influence their votes. As one party figure put it: \"If just one in 10 trade unionists becomes an associate member, the unions will effectively control a majority of votes in a Labour leadership election.\" Another former minister said: \"We'll be a laughing stock.\" 'Five-year process' But supporters of the reform insist the suggestion that the unions would be able to exert greater pressure in the new system is naïve because union members take relatively little notice of the endorsements of their leaders. One party insider said there has been a fierce debate within the Miliband circle between those who believe that the reforms are a key test of his leadership and that a failure to introduce radical change would substantially damage his credibility - and those who feel he risks putting the party's financial viability at risk by allowing union members to opt out of their so-called political levy contributions to the party. \"They say you just can't crater the party's finances,\" said one insider. What of the opt-in funding mechanism? Much is still unclear here although it is understood it would be very difficult for Ed Miliband to go back on his words last summer where he declared \"in the 21st Century it doesn't make any sense for anyone to be affiliated to a political party unless they have chosen to do so\". But in order to stop the coffers running dry in one fell swoop, it's understood the plan will be rolled out over a five-year process . One senior figure concerned over the proposed changes told me: \"There is a real irony that what started out as a reform to diminish union influence could end up as a reform which diminishes MP influence and increases union influence.\"",

Creationists believe the Causeway was formed 6,000 years ago. The vast majority of scientists believe it was formed 60 million years ago. The £18.5m centre was opened by First Minister Peter Robinson and Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness on Tuesday. A group has now appeared on the social networking site Facebook called \"remove the creationist exhibits at the Giants Causeway visitors centre.\" Over 200 people have joined the group in the first few hours of it being set up.

Speaking on BBC Radio Ulster Graham Thompson, Causeway project director said: \"Over the past five or six years we have had a thorough appraisal at what should be contained in the Causeway visitors centre, we have a huge range of exhibits, audio tours, films and how the Causeway itself links into history. \"Central to everything is how the Causeway was formed and the National Trust position is that we believe and accept the mainstream scientific idea that the Causeway was formed by volcanic eruption 60 million years ago. \"In the scientific and formation elements we base everything on fact. \"It's a fact that in the late 17th and early 18th century, there was a series of debates about how the Causeway was formed, and it's a fact that today there are still debates about the formation of the Causeway. \"The exhibit is about that debate, as opposed to how the Causeway was formed. \"We have a respectful position which allows people to have debate.\" Viewpoint Northern Ireland evangelical umbrella group, the Caleb Foundation, welcomed the inclusion of the exhibit. In a statement, its chairman, Wallace Thompson, said: \"We have worked closely with the National Trust over many months with a view to ensuring that the new Causeway visitor centre includes an acknowledgement both of the legitimacy of the creationist position on the origins of the unique Causeway stones and of the ongoing debate around this. \"We are pleased that the National Trust worked positively with us and that this has now been included at the new visitor centre.\" He added: \"We fully accept the Trust's commitment to its position on how the Causeway was formed, but this new centre both respects and acknowledges an alternative viewpoint and the continuing debate, and that means it will be a welcoming and enriching experience for all who visit.\" The Causeway is a Unesco World Heritage Site and features more than 40,000 interlocking basalt columns formed millions of years ago by volcanic activity.",

            "input": "By Jon KellyBBC News Magazine There are a number of simple solutions which might not always be obvious. Wear wet clothes \"The most obvious suggestion to me is that you dampen your clothes,\" says Cambridge University physicist Lisa Jardine-Wright. In order for the water to evaporate - changing its state from a liquid to a gas - there needs an input of heat energy, she explains. This energy will come from the heat of your body which produces a cooling effect to your skin, lowering your temperature. If you use a fan as well, the air blowing over your skin speeds up the process of evaporation, helping you to feel even cooler. \"When I was cycling in France it was more than 40C and I soaked my T-shirt in water before I went out. But that's a bit extreme,\" Jardine-Wright adds. \"Anything that involves evaporation is going to take the heat away from you.\" Stick your hands in cold water Plunging your hands into a bucket or a basin full of cold water will help you cool down, says Mike Tipton, professor of human physiology at the University of Portsmouth. When your deep body temperature rises, blood is sent to the surface of the skin. \"Your hands have a high surface area - it's like you have five radiators sticking out of your palm,\" says Tipton. \"As soon as the deep body temperature returns to normal, it slows the blood flow to your hands and you'll feel cool.\" Fans next to windows A fan placed in the middle of a closed room will circulate the air, which helps speed up the evaporation of your sweat. But it will be much more effective if the device is placed next to an open window, says Jardine-Wright, as this will draw air from outdoors, which should be colder. \"You're taking the cooler air from the outside and propelling it inside,\" she says. \"If there are no windows or doors open you're just circulating the hot air.\" Eat a curry Tucking into a hot vindaloo or madras may seem a counter-intuitive way to lower your temperature. But eating spicy food helps cool you down, says Tipton. Curry contains capsaicin, a heat compound in chilli peppers that stimulates sweat production. \"Anything you can do to make sure you are sweating means you will enhance evaporative heat loss,\" Tipton adds. \"As the water evaporates you will feel cooler.\" Bedouin robes It's widely assumed that wearing lighter-coloured clothing is the best way to stay cool. This isn't necessarily the case, however. A 1980 study of Bedouin tribes found the colour of their garment made little difference to their body temperature. \"White clothing will reflect more light, but black clothes are better radiators of heat,\" says Jardine-Wright. However, she says there is a option that has very clear benefit - wearing looser clothes, like the robes favoured by the Bedouin. \"If you have air circulating next to your skin, it will help to evaporate the perspiration, and this will make you feel cooler.\" Lukewarm showers Standing under a freezing shower might sound like the quickest way to bring your temperature down. But your body will react to a dramatic change like this by trying to preserve heat. \"If I'm hot and I go under a cold shower, I'll shut down the blood flow to the skin and trap the heat inside me rather than let it escape,\" says Tipton. As a result, he says, it's better to use water that is in the 20s Celsius than water that is in the 10s. \"It's better to have a warmer shower that is cool enough to lower the deep body temperature but is warm enough to allow the blood to the surface of the skin.\" Sash windows People with sash windows don't always remember this, but opening both the top and bottom windows by equal amounts is a very efficient way of cooling down a room. This lets rising warm air out of the top while drawing cooler air through the bottom. The same principle applies in two-storey homes, says Jardine-Wright. \"It's good if you can get the circulation going throughout the house,\" she adds. \"If you open both the upstairs and downstairs windows, you will improve the circulation through the house as the hot air rises and cold air enters through the ground floor windows.\" Fan your face If you use a fan, make sure you direct the flow of air to your face, says Tipton. \"It's more effective because the face has so many receptors on it,\" he says. \"Even though you're not cooling down your whole body, fanning your face has a disproportionate effect on your comfort.\" However, he warns, it's important not to make a common mistake - using a manual fan too vigorously, and warming yourself up by doing so.

State legislators overwhelmingly backed the bill on Wednesday, by 79 votes to 23 and Governor John Bel Edwards signed the bill into law on Thursday. It is the latest in a raft of anti-abortion measures which are expected to face legal challenges. Four other states have passed similar limits to abortion this year. In a statement, Governor Edwards said: \"I call on the overwhelming bipartisan majority of legislators who voted for [the law] to join me in continuing to build a better Louisiana that cares for the least among us and provides more opportunity for everyone.\" He did not hold a signing ceremony. Governor Edwards has long opposed abortion. Support for abortion restrictions has put some state Democrats at odds with the national party, which views access to the procedure as a core plank of its platform. Women throughout the US have staged protests against the Lousiana legislation, and major Hollywood stars and production companies have vowed to boycott states that implement such bans. Disney, Netflix and WarnerMedia have all publicly threatened to rethink production in these states if the laws take effect. What are heartbeat laws? So-called heartbeat laws seek to make abortion illegal as soon as a foetal heartbeat is detectable. In most cases, this is at the six-week mark of a pregnancy - before many women even know they are pregnant. Although Louisiana's stringent law does allow abortions in cases where the pregnant woman's life is in danger, it does not include exemptions for pregnancies resulting from incest or rape. But the law will only come into force if a federal court upholds a similar ban passed in neighbouring Mississippi. A judge temporarily blocked the Mississippi law when it was passed. US President Donald Trump has appointed two conservative judges to the Supreme Court since taking office, and analysts say conservatives across the US see this as the moment to challenge the 1973 Roe vs Wade ruling - which granted women the right to choose whether or not to have an abortion. Which states have passed restrictions? Louisiana is the fifth state to pass a heartbeat law, after Georgia, Kentucky, Ohio and Mississippi. The US Supreme Court earlier this year narrowly blocked new abortion restrictions in Louisiana, which would have required doctors who provide abortion services to be certified to practise at a nearby hospital - which critics say would have limited the right to abortion and would cause two of the state's abortion clinics to close. Meanwhile, Alabama has passed an outright ban on the procedure in nearly all cases. None of these laws are yet to take effect, however. US President Donald Trump has said he is against abortion except where the pregnancy endangers the mother's life, or results from rape or incest.",

It is the continuation of a battle against \"blacklisting\" in the construction industry - where firms allegedly compile files on workers that include notes of their trade union activities and can lead to them being refused work. For all that time, he has been standing outside the giant plant - one of the North West's most well-known landmarks with its huge cooling towers looming over the outskirts of Warrington - accompanied by dozens of banners. \"By hook or by crook I will not move from here unless I get meaningful employment,\" he said quietly. \"I've not been out of work because I'm a bad electrician - but because I cared about health and safety and was an active union member.\" Hundreds of CVs In 2008, Mr Acheson was offered a job by sub-contractor BMSL, working as a supervisor at Fiddlers Ferry. Within four hours, he said, it was withdrawn. He was eventually taken on. But less than six months later, on 18 December, he lost his job. Mr Acheson took the company to an employment tribunal last October. His claim for unfair refusal of employment - where his job offer was withdrawn after four hours - was successful but BMSL is currently appealing against the decision. But the tribunal also found he was not unfairly dismissed when he lost his job after six months. It stated that while Mr Acheson had been monitored on the blacklist while working at the site, BMSL had not been involved in a blacklist or had in any way been influenced by it. A spokesman for the company said it had never been part of the blacklist. \"We were the only people for many years to employ Mr Acheson on the Fiddlers Ferry project,\" he added. \"We would employ him again if any opportunities arose.\" But as Mr Acheson, from Denton in Greater Manchester, is pledging to continue his picket until he gets a job, it would appear he may face a long wait. He eventually managed to gain possession of his own blacklist file by the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) after officials raided Consulting Association, in Droitwich, Worcestershire, in March 2009. It included his name, address, date of birth, National Insurance number, mobile telephone number and the fact he was \"probably EPIU\" - referring to his union membership. 'Behaving himself' There were scores of entries from sources and clippings from the left-wing press. It monitored where he was working and included some places he had never been employed. Among the entries were: \"Is behaving himself, now a foreman… Lads don't pay as much attention since he's not on the shop floor\" and \"Stephen (sic) Acheson is known to be currently visiting agencies looking for employment in the Liverpool area\". Officials from the ICO discovered a database which had details of 3,213 workers. Forty firms had subscribed to the list. Ian Kerr, one of four employees, pleaded guilty to breaching the Data Protection Act and was fined £5,000 in July 2009. Mr Acheson has argued the 40 subscribers should have faced a harsher punishment - they were given a warning by the ICO. He said that although having sent out about 100 CVs over the past two years, he had not had any offers of work. This is compared to 20 years ago when he would receive regular calls, he said. As well as highlighting his own plight, Mr Acheson is also campaigning against the blacklisting of other workers. He said he was aware there was a blacklist long before he was able to hold his own file in his hand. His union activity started in 1996, after the death of a 21-year-old colleague at a site on which he was working. From then on, he said he was determined to ensure companies for which he worked complied with health and safety legislation. 'Blacklist exists' In 2000, he lost his job working on a plant after raising health and safety concerns about the site. Unbeknown to him at the time, that incident marked the opening of his file on a blacklist. He was described as \"one of the ringleaders\" of a dispute. He was thrown out of work on several occasions on sites across England between 2000 and 2006. He won three cases of unfair dismissal at tribunals - including one in 2007, which he said proved crucial when it judged that a blacklist did exist. \"A blacklist exists within the electrical industry and has on it names of various individuals considered for various reasons to be unsuitable for employment,\" the judgement said. \"Union activity is a reason why individuals are entered on to that blacklist. \"The claimant Steven Acheson has appeared on that blacklist for a considerable length of time.\" That gave further weight and energy to Mr Acheson's campaign, which eventually led to the ICO taking up his case. 'Ruined lives' The government introduced new regulations against blacklisting in 2010, making it unlawful to operate a list and to compensate those who suffer loss as a result of being blacklisted. But Mr Acheson believes this does not mean the end for the blacklist. A manager in the construction industry has told him it still exists, he said. He also cited a dispute at the Olympic site, where two workers have claimed they lost their jobs because of a blacklist. Dave Smith, spokesman for the Blacklist Support Group, said blacklisting \"ruined family lives\". \"The only reason I or Steve Acheson have been blacklisted is because we have raised concerns about health and safety issues,\" he added. Mr Acheson said his campaign had had a huge effect on his family - his wife Debra, 44, works full time to support him. And his 21-year-old daughter has not seen her father in continuous employment since she was 10. \"I don't want to be here doing this. I would rather be working every day,\" he said. The support group is now taking its campaign to Europe. It recently raised the issue with the European Commissioner for employment, social affairs and inclusion László Andor. The UK Contractors Group said its members were \"well aware of their obligations under data protection regulations\". A spokesman for the ICO said: \"If anyone has evidence that blacklisting is continuing then they should inform the ICO.\"",

The novelty must, surely, wear off after the first dozen times or so. But here at Sandhurst military academy, as we wait for President Macron and his entourage, it feels as though this UK-French gathering matters more than most. Deals will be struck on border control and military co-operation here, but the importance of this summit exceeds the sum of its parts. Border co-operation at Calais matters to both countries, obviously. So does security. Britain and France are Europe's two foremost military powers, both have suffered appalling terrorist outrages and both share a commitment to fighting Islamist jihadism wherever it is found. It almost seems odd that the heads of the British and French intelligence and security services have not met at the same table before now. The practical co-operation under discussion and being pledged here matters too. Forty four million pounds to beef up the Channel border doesn't sound like much as a proportion of public spending, and it isn't. But the fences and CCTV improvements and the rest will make a difference and demonstrate Britain's commitment to pulling its weight as Mr Macron insists. French demands for wider British support for the regional economy won't be settled here. Goodwill can only be expected to stretch so far. Likewise, the military co-operation is more than purely symbolic. Heavy lifting Three British Chinook helicopters is not a huge commitment but it adds a heavy lifting capacity the French lack in Mali, in their long-running confrontation with Islamist fighters. And yet there is much more at stake than the items on Thursday's agenda. France and its president, arguably the most politically secure leader in the EU just now, will be crucial to Britain's prospects of getting a decent deal from the European Union on Brexit. Whatever that deal looks like - and as things stand, the final shape of Brexit is a matter of pure guesswork - the UK's relationship with France will be important in determining Britain's clout as a global player. France may like the idea of acting as a bridge between the EU and the UK. In much the same way Theresa May suggested Britain could act as a link between Europe and the USA - before the \"Special Relationship\" began to stutter somewhat. So getting on well with France - Britain's great rival and closest neighbour for time out of mind - matters more now than it has since before the UK joined what was then the European Common Market in 1973. Oh, and whatever the longer term significance of this summit, we do get to see the Bayeux Tapestry without having to go abroad.",

Project officer Ellie Kent said the involvement of HMP Haverigg near Millom had been \"invaluable\" as the pandemic had curtailed efforts in the community. Deer \"like to nibble\" the saplings and have \"contributed to the serious decline\", she said. Changes in land use and increased grazing have also left only a few isolated areas of growth, Ms Kent added. Aspen rarely seed so new trees are often cultivated from shoots coming up from the root away from the main tree. These shoots are often eaten by deer but are now protected in the fenced-in prison grounds. Project lead Jo Sayers said the inmates had \"lots of time on their hands\" because the pandemic had prevented much of the open prison's normal day-release work. The tree growing was part of a nature area where they can meet their families so \"everyone wins\", she said. Prison community outreach manager John McInally said inmates had been \"able to make an invaluable contribution to native tree cultivation and improving wildlife across the area\". Ms Kent said aspen were \"crucial\" because no other British tree supported more biodiversity. \"Their extensive root systems mean they bind soil together, slowing water and reducing flooding,\" she said.

The \"dragnet surveillance\" was condemned by digital rights groups who called for the NSA's snooping efforts to be reined in. The news comes as Microsoft plans to use more encryption to thwart NSA spying on it and its customers. Wrong target The huge database built up by the NSA (National Security Agency) keeps an eye on \"hundreds of millions\" of mobile phones, said the Post, adding that it let the agency map movements and relationships in ways that were \"previously unimaginable\". It added that the vast programme potentially surpassed any other NSA project in terms of its impact on privacy. Information about the programme was in papers released to the Post by whistleblower Edward Snowden. The spying agency is said to have accumulated so much data, about 27 terabytes according to leaked papers seen by the Post, that it was \"outpacing\" the NSA's ability to analyse the information in a timely fashion. The analysis, via a computer system called Co-Traveler, was necessary as only a tiny fraction of 1% of the data gathered was actually useful in its anti-terror work, said the paper. The analysis is so detailed that it can be used to thwart attempts to hide from scrutiny by people who use disposable phones or only use a handset briefly before switching it off. The vast majority of the information gathered is said to come from taps installed on mobile phone networks and used the basic location-information that networks log as people move around. Analysing this data helps the NSA work out which devices are regularly in close proximity and, by implication, exposes a potential connection between the owners of those handsets. The American Civil Liberties Union said it was \"staggering\" that the NSA could mount such a vast location-logging system without any public debate. The \"dragnet surveillance\" broke US obligations that require it to respect the privacy of foreigners and Americans. \"The government should be targeting its surveillance at those suspected of wrong-doing, not assembling massive associational databases that, by their very nature, record the movements of a huge number of innocent people,\" it added. The steady flow of information about the NSA's surveillance work has led Microsoft to take steps to protect itself and its customers from unwarranted scrutiny, it said in a blogpost. Brad Smith, Microsoft legal counsel, said government snooping was now as much of a security problem as computer viruses and other cyber-attacks. In response, Mr Smith said, Microsoft was expanding its use of encryption; would fight legal orders that stop it telling customers when their data is being sought and would allow a closer look at the code it develops to show there were no backdoors built in.",

He was ordered to spend at least 10 and a half years in prison, following a second trial allowed under new double jeopardy laws. His minimum term was later reduced by two years. On Friday the Parole Board said Baker \"was suitable for release\". But he \"will be on licence for the rest of his life\", a Ministry of Justice (MoJ) spokesman added. Baker, now 63, beat and raped Mrs Backwell at her home in Stratford, east London, in 1997. During the court case it was heard that Ms Backwell was found by chance by a neighbour the following evening after Baker locked her in a cupboard. The attack left her too afraid to continue living alone or go out by herself and she died in 2002 \"with a very sad and broken heart\", her family said. Baker was found not guilty in 1999 when a judge wrongly ruled his trial could not proceed. The introduction of the double jeopardy law in 2005 allowed a person cleared of a serious offence to face a retrial in certain circumstances. A review in 2007 found much of the evidence had been lost or destroyed, and the case was reopened two years later. Baker, from Walthamstow, north-east London, was arrested in 2011. The trial of Wendell Baker was one of the most disturbing I've reported on. The brutal nature of the attack was distressing enough, but it was compounded by Baker's failure to show any remorse. His defence to the overwhelming scientific evidence against him was that police had planted semen from a used condom. A judicial error in 1999 and the later loss of vital police case-files meant Baker almost escaped justice. It must be galling, therefore, for those who worked so hard to secure his conviction that he's being let out at the first time of asking. He gave further DNA samples matching those found on swabs taken from Mrs Backwell. In 2014, Baker had his minimum jail term reduced by two years. He became eligible to be considered for release on 15 March. The Parole Board, which held a remote hearing to consider the case, said Baker would be subject to strict licence conditions including a curfew and an \"enhanced form of supervision or monitoring\", once released. A spokesman for the Parole Board said: \"Parole Board decisions are solely focused on what risk a prisoner could represent to the public after release and whether that risk is manageable in the community. \"We do that with great care and public safety is our number one priority.\" The MoJ said: \"Like all life sentence prisoners released by the independent Parole Board, Wendell Baker will be on licence for the rest of his life and subject to strict conditions - and faces a return to prison if he fails to comply.\"",

An industry-wide certificate was introduced following the Grenfell Tower fire in 2017, in which 72 people died. The Welsh Government said it was \"very concerned\" at the allegations, which are being investigated. It was only thanks to a suspicious former policeman that the forgery was discovered. Flat owner Gareth Griffiths, 66, became suspicious over the EWS1 that was signed in July for the block of flats in the Butetown area. \"When I looked at it, the writing didn't look great for a professional RICS [Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors] surveyor,\" he told the Local Democracy Reporting Service. \"When I rang the surveyor, she was horrified that the survey took place with her signature.\" The surveyor, who did not wish to named, confirmed she had not carried out the survey or signed the form. Property management company Warwick Estates contracted Newbridge-based Specialist Facade Inspections to conduct the EWS1 survey. However Specialist Facade Inspections said it only produces a report - which is signed off by a third-party chartered surveyor for a fee of £200 - and it had also been the victim of fraud. The company's founder Paul Tedstone said the forged signature was also used on \"five or six\" other EWS1 certificates, but could not provide contact details for the third-party surveyor or the name of the company. \"EWS1 is a bloody piece of paper. In order to tick that box you need a [qualified person]. None of those accreditations I hold, nor did the business hold,\" he said. \"It was nonsense: you need someone else just to confirm what we already know. Just for the last piece of paper, as I didn't have the letters after my name to sign it off. \"There has been weeks and weeks of intrusive surveys. We have done nothing wrong, apart from being a bit naïve. We're victims too.\" Mr Tedstone said the company has withdrawn every certificate with the false signature on, reviewed each case and reissued each certificate. Warwick Estates has also been asked to comment. The scandal prompted Neil McEvoy MS to raise concerns at the Welsh Parliament of a wider problem. \"The person who supposedly signed off this safety certificate has stated in writing that they did not carry out the inspection, and they did not sign the form,\" said Mr McEvoy. \"They have no connection to Specialist Facade Inspections and the signature on the letter is not [hers]. \"Specialist Facade Inspections say they're the victim, but the bottom line is we have a safety certificate which I don't know who it has been signed by. This really is a pressing issue. \"When will the housing minister get a grip on matters? Set up a task force and sort this out.\" The Welsh Government said it was aware of the allegations, which were being investigated by the \"appropriate authorities\". A spokesperson added: \"We are very concerned about any alleged fraud in relation to such a vitally important issue.\" EWS1 forms must only be completed by competent chartered professionals with suitable fire expertise. However the current high demand for these certificates in the wake of the Grenfell disaster has led to scammers issuing fake EWS1 forms, according to consumers association Which?. \"Scammers have forged the names and signatures of qualified surveyors to pass and fail buildings. Some forms we've seen have been signed off by surveyors who simply don't exist,\" the report said. The RICS said it condemned such fraud which could have \"potentially dangerous consequences\" for residents. Meanwhile, the residents of Century Wharf remain unsure whether the cladding on their building is safe. Mr Griffiths said: \"Until it's properly surveyed, we don't know whether combustible material is in the walls or cladding outside the building.

Versions of the software will also be released for smartphones - making the Windows Phone OS defunct - as well as the Xbox One games console, \"internet of things\" kit and, potentially, smartwatches at a later stage. There has even been talk of this being the \"last version of Windows\" assuming all goes well - so no pressure then. Wait... what about Windows 9? The best explanation Microsoft has given for jumping a number has been in the form of a very nerdy joke: \"Windows 10 because seven, eight, [ate] nine.\" The suspicion is the company's marketers just think it sounds cooler. And, of course, there is the added benefit that it further distances the product from the ill-fated Windows 8 while catching up in numeric terms with Apple's rival Mac OS X. So, what's new? At first look, at least on a desktop PC, the user interface looks pretty similar to the popular Windows 7. Microsoft is pitching the product as being \"familiar and easy to use\", as part of a shift away from the unpopular touch-centric focus of Windows 8. Perhaps the headline feature is the return of the Start Menu, providing users with quick pop-up access to their favourite apps, documents and settings. It does, however, carry over some of W8's design language. To the right of the list of sober-looking shortcuts, the Start Menu now also offers a selection of customisable \"live tiles\". These can also launch favoured apps, but people may prefer to use them to get at-a-glance updates about how many unread emails they have, what the weather is doing, forthcoming diary alerts and other notifications. Those pining for Windows 8's full-display Start Screen can still turn it back on via settings, and it appears by default on tablets when no keyboard is attached. The other big addition is Cortana - the virtual assistant first featured in Windows Phone 8.1. This makes sense of natural-language requests spoken or typed into a computer to help users manage their diaries, search the internet for information tailored to their interests, play music they might like, and control third-party apps, among other activities. The more Cortana studies its owner's habits, the better, in theory, the suggestions it makes. Those who find this a bit freaky can restrict the data it has access to. Other new features include: Can everyone download it on launch day? No. Microsoft is making it available to members of its Insider programme - people who tested preview versions of the system - from the start. But it is staggering delivery to others. As part of the process it is carrying out compatibility checks, so that PCs most likely to experience serious problems running the software do not get the upgrade until the relevant bugs have been dealt with. If users have not already pre-registered for the download, they can do so by clicking a Windows icon in their taskbar. If it isn't there, they will need to carry out a complicated workaround to make it appear. That means some people will have to wait days and perhaps weeks to get Windows 10 for free. Some computer makers have already, however, rushed out machines pre-installed with the software to shop shelves. Boxes containing the software on USB flash drives are also due to go on sale \"between mid-August and September\" for those that don't have broadband internet. Retailers - including Currys in the UK - are also offering in-store installs for a fee. Microsoft has a lot riding on this, doesn't it? The money paid by computer makers to preinstall Windows on their PCs is one of Microsoft's biggest sources of revenue. It also helps Microsoft direct business' budgets towards its lucrative add-on cloud services - including its Office 365 productivity suite, Azure cloud computing platform, and Dynamics supply chain management tools - as well as the IT support and training it sells. There are also subscription fees to be made from consumers, whether it is charging for OneDrive cloud storage, calls made via Skype, or access to Microsoft's Groove music library. Every customer lost to devices running a Google, Apple or Linux operating system is one more likely to spend their money elsewhere. In addition, every company that decides to stick with Windows 7, Vista or even XP is one that will not be able to support all of Microsoft's latest technologies. Windows Phone has also been a bit of a flop, at least in most countries. Now, there is a new pitch: if you link a Windows 10 Mobile handset to a screen, keyboard and mouse, it can double as a PC. This feature - called Continuum - might appeal to the billions of consumers in emerging economies for whom buying both a smartphone and a laptop would be unaffordable. What's Microsoft doing to give Windows 10 a better chance? Consumers and small businesses are being offered a free upgrade of existing computers running Windows 7 or 8 at any point over the first year of Windows 10's release. In addition, Microsoft's move to a \"universal app platform\" should make the OS more attractive to developers. Microsoft will run a single app store, and every product should be compatible with a plethora of devices - including PCs, Xboxes, smartphones and the forthcoming HoloLens headset - as long as the computer involved is powerful enough and the coder has made the user interface responsive. Microsoft is also making it easier for developers to port Android and iOS apps to the platform. But I've heard it's a bit flaky Until about a month ago, this was a common complaint about the preview builds. But critics acknowledge many of their biggest gripes have now been addressed , even if there are some outstanding issues - such as Edge's lack of support for extensions. Big businesses are still unlikely to adopt the OS on day one. Tech consultancy Gartner has advised its clients to wait until at least the second half of 2016. However, one issue that may have deterred consumers has been addressed. Microsoft caused controversy when it suggested people using the Home version of its system would have to add new features as they became available. Matters were not helped when it explicitly said businesses would be able to wait until \"quality and application compatibility has been assessed in the consumer market\". That led some bloggers to accuse Microsoft of treating the public like \"guinea pigs\". But on the eve of Windows 10's release, Microsoft told the BBC it had added an option to defer all Home Edition updates, security fixes aside. There remains, however, an incentive to buy the Pro or Enterprise versions, as their owners will be able to control which specific features are added. One final thought: just in case you try Windows 10 and do not like it, it is worth knowing there is a \"rollback\" option that works for the first 30 days.",

Even after being told by the people she was racially abusing that it was wrong, Holly continued to do so. The death of George Floyd in America and Black Lives Matter protests across the world have forced some people, like Holly, to confront their past racism and try to make amends. \"It's made me apologise for my racist behaviour when I was younger,\" she adds. 'What I did was so wrong' Holly thinks one of the reasons for her behaviour was the influence of her family and friends growing up. \"I went to schools which were majority white, and I wasn't really exposed much to people from other backgrounds.\" Groups Holly was part of would be racist towards classmates, and she would \"try to fit in\". She adds that her family's racist beliefs affected her thinking. \"They have very white-centric views. I think they believe black people are trying to be more superior, rather than be equal to white people.\" But Holly accepts that ultimately, she is responsible for her own actions. \"Regardless, I know what I did was so wrong.\" Joe (not his real name) also believes the influences around him affected his behaviour in school. \"I don't feel like my home was a hateful place. But I'd definitely hear the N-word every now and then,\" he tells Newsbeat. As he grew older, Joe copied his brothers when they would say racist things. \"Looking back, it was definitely not OK for me to say the things I did.\" Joe had \"friends who were brown skinned\" - he thought it was \"his right\" to use racial slurs such as the N-word. He listened to songs which used the word and he \"couldn't see what was wrong\". \"I used phrases like the N-word indiscriminately and I didn't worry what those around me would think. \"I even lost a friend after making a racist comment, and I still couldn't see it back then.\" 'Cultural understanding' Owen Jones is the director of education for campaign group Hope Not Hate, and he says there's a lack of knowledge around the origins of the word. \"If everyone was given a proper understanding of its context, the links with the slave trade, they would understand the difference between listening to the music and repeating the word.\" \"It's having that cultural understanding which is lacking.\" 'I admit I messed up' Holly's change in attitude came when she changed her social circles and joined a church, where she spent more time with black people. For Joe, it's slightly different. His \"turning point\" came five years ago when somebody taught him about microaggressions - subtle but offensive actions directed towards minorities which can reinforce stereotypes. Both Holly and Joe credit the Black Lives Matter movement for deeper self-reflection now. Holly's apologised for her past behaviour and says she is working to educate herself more about black history. \"Everyone has been glad that I've apologised and admitted what I did was wrong,\" she says. Joe acknowledges the protests have made him want to \"rectify the pain he caused\". \"I admit I messed up, so I know it's right to have said sorry to the people I hurt when I was younger,\" he adds. 'It's not enough to just hope and say no to racism' Holly and Joe say they are supporting the fight against racism. Joe's attended Black Lives Matter protests in the UK recently, and plans to go to more. He now works for a group which promotes educational equality. He says it's important to tell children when they slip up. \"If they say something they shouldn't - like the N-word in a song - it's down to us to explain why that's not OK.\" \"I've been sharing links, signing petitions and trying to help people educate themselves,\" Holly says. That includes her family, which has been hard \"because they only see what's portrayed in the media they watch\". Owen agrees and says to prevent racism at an early age, it's important to get \"kids out of their cultural bubble\" - which is what changed Holly. And in regions where there's not much diversity, he suggests taking children to places where there are mixed backgrounds to \"show them people get along and the scare-mongering they might have heard is untrue\". \"These things have been passed down for hundreds of years. We're not born with racism, but we do have the capacity to be racist,\" he adds. \"And it's easy to slip into unless you have those conversations at a young age. It's not enough to just hope and say no to racism.\" Follow Newsbeat on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. Listen to Newsbeat live at 12:45 and 17:45 weekdays - or listen back here.",

Mr Szaruta, of Bridgwater, Somerset, died in hospital after the crash near Solstice Park, Amesbury, in June. Judge Mrs Justice May adjourned the case until 10 January for sentencing. Kerry Maylin, prosecuting, described how Mr Szaruta was travelling with his wife Susan and daughter Rachel along the A303 near Stonehenge in Wiltshire, heading to London for a Father's Day and birthday celebration with their son, Christian. She said Mrs Szaruta described how Agca \"tailgated\" behind them, prompting her husband \"to tap his brake to indicate the BMW shouldn't be so close\". Mrs Szaruta said the BMW then undertook them before \"squeezing\" in front of them and braking so hard that it was like an \"emergency stop\". Ms Maylin said the two drivers then pulled over to a slipway by the A303 Solstice Park services and Mr Szaruta walked over towards the BMW, where he was hit by the car and thrown into the air. She said Mr Szaruta's daughter witnessed the incident and told police: \"My dad had his hand on the bonnet, he went up on the bonnet and high up into the air. \"Dad was carried a car length on the bonnet.\" Ms Maylin said another witness saw Agca driving away \"far in excess of the 70mph limit\" and \"skipping between cars\". The court heard Agca had 13 previous convictions for 28 offences, with several relating to road rage incidents which involved tailgating and attacking vehicles. In a statement, Mrs Szaruta said she suffers flashbacks and added: \"I have lost my husband, my best friend and have to cope with the trauma of what happened.\" During his military career Mr Szaruta had gained medals for serving in the Falklands War, two tours in Northern Ireland, and a NATO medal during the Bosnian war.",

His presence in Budapest made headlines last month, when reporters from the UK's Sun newspaper tracked him down. He is suspected of assisting in the murder of 15,700 Jews during the war. On Wednesday Mr Csatary was questioned by Hungarian prosecutors. He insists that he was merely an intermediary between Hungarian and German officials in Kosice and that he was not involved in war crimes. Kosice - called Kassa at the time - was the site of the first Jewish ghetto established on Hungarian territory, following the German occupation of the country in 1944. The Nazi-hunting Simon Wiesenthal Center accuses Mr Csatary of involvement in the deportation of 15,700 Jews from Kosice to the Auschwitz death camp. A spokesman for the Slovak state prosecutor's office said the latest charges concerned \"responsibility for the deportation of Kosice residents to Germany\". A man whose father was deported to Germany in January 1945 made the accusation against Mr Csatary. The case against Mr Csatary in Slovakia means that extradition proceedings may be launched. In 1948, a Czechoslovakian court condemned him to death in absentia. On Monday the Slovak Justice Minister, Tomas Borec, said he would like to see Mr Csatary put on trial in Slovakia. That has also been requested by leaders of Slovakia's Jewish community. Slovakia no longer has the death penalty, so a guilty verdict against Mr Csatary would probably mean life imprisonment. After the war, Mr Csatary escaped to Canada where he worked as an art dealer in Montreal and Toronto. He disappeared in 1997 after he was stripped of his Canadian citizenship.",

            "input": "By Reevel AldersonHome affairs correspondent, BBC Scotland If a bill currently before Holyrood is passed, coercive and controlling behaviour will be made a criminal offence. It means a change for officers more used to detecting physical assaults. Ministers say psychological abuse can often cause lasting damage. They hope the new law will be in place in 2018. A total of 14,000 police and control room staff will be given the training in the new year, ahead of the expected implementation of the new legislation. The Domestic Abuse (Scotland) Bill is expected to receive its third stage debate - the final hurdle in the Scottish Parliament - in January. Assistant Chief Constable Gillian MacDonald, of Police Scotland, said the bill would target crimes which are more \"insidious\", and that officers would require additional training to be able to identify the new offences. ACC MacDonald said it was a complex area which could include financial control and restricting a victim's activities and movements, which could often result in a lack of confidence. She said: \"The signs often aren't as visible as physical assault signs. \"So it's really important our officers understand what it is they are looking for, and how to spot that identifier, and then support victims that are suffering from it.\" Justice Secretary Michael Matheson said in many cases psychological abuse and controlling behaviour could be worse than physical abuse. He said it was important to tackle all aspects of domestic abuse, which must no longer be seen as a private matter,\" he said. \"I want to make sure our police service is properly equipped with the skills they need to be able to identify that type of behaviour. \"That's why the training of some 14,000 police officers and staff will help to support us in doing that.\" Mr Matheson said this would help make sure that officers have an understanding of coercive and controlling behaviour, as well as psychological abuse. It would also ensure that such crimes could be prosecuted effectively once the legislation has been approved by parliament.",

            "input": "The unconventional interview setting provided plenty of fresh air and space for social distancing - and the prince apparently relished his first ride on an open-top double-decker. The appearance was more informal than the duke and duchess's forthcoming sit-down with Oprah Winfrey is likely to be, while Corden's style is more jokey and less probing. But that didn't stop Harry opening up about some elements of the family's life and their decision to swap London for LA, explaining how the UK press was \"toxic\" and \"destroying my mental health\". He also gave Corden his views about Netflix's The Crown and revealed what the Queen gave Archie for Christmas. Here are seven nuggets we learned from the interview: 1. Harry wants to 'bring some compassion' Harry, Meghan and Archie left the UK almost a year ago after \"stepping back\" from life as working royals. They have now settled in Santa Barbara, California. Asked by Corden what their lives would involve after lockdown is lifted, Harry replied: \"I've no idea. A slightly different version but a continuation of what we were doing back in the UK. \"My life is always going to be about public service - the two of us signed up to that and the two of us enjoy doing that, trying to bring some compassion and trying to make people happy and trying to change the world in any small way that we can.\" 2. The Queen's practical Christmas gift Harry revealed that the Queen had asked what Archie, now aged one and a half, wanted for his last Christmas present, and was told by Meghan he wanted a waffle maker. \"She sent us a waffle maker for Archie,\" he said. \"So for breakfast now, Meg makes up a beautiful organic mix in the waffle maker... He loves it. And now I have waffles for breakfast, a bit of yoghurt, a bit of jam on top. I don't know if that's the right thing to do. Berries maybe. A bit of honey. Maybe some syrup.\" 3. Archie's first word Not \"dada\" or \"mama\" or \"nanny\" - but \"crocodile\", apparently. Harry said his son is now \"hysterical\", adding: \"He's got the most amazing personality.\" 4. 'Haz and Meg' Yes, that is what they call each other. Corden and the prince stopped off on their open-top bus tour at the house that was used in The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. After Harry proved he was a true fan of the 90s sitcom by rapping the theme tune while walking up the drive, Corden tried to persuade him to buy the property. The host then FaceTimed Meghan on Harry's phone in an attempt to convince her - she demurred, saying \"I think we've done enough moving\", before asking her husband: \"Haz, how's your tour of LA going?\" 5. They watch game shows in bed, just like the rest of us Asked what a regular evening was like for the Sussexes in Santa Barbara, Harry said: \"Depending on how the day's been and how busy it's been, we do Archie's tea, give him a bath, read him a book, put him down, go downstairs, Meg might cook a meal, might order a takeaway, go upstairs sit in bed, turn the TV on, watch some Jeopardy, maybe watch a little bit of Netflix.\" 6. Harry hasn't got a problem with The Crown Speaking of Netflix... There have been some vocal objections to how The Crown depicts royal history, especially now it has reached the era of Harry's parents, Prince Charles and Princess Diana. But Harry was sanguine about it, even suggesting its dramatisations could give outsiders a useful glimpse into the hardships of royal life. \"They don't pretend to be news,\" he said. \"It's fictional, but it's loosely based on the truth. Of course it's not strictly accurate, but loosely, it gives you a rough idea about what that lifestyle, what the pressures of putting duty and service above family and everything else, what can come from that. \"I'm way more comfortable with The Crown than I am seeing the stories written about my family or my wife or myself. Because it's the difference between - that [The Crown] is obviously fiction, take it how you will, but this [the press] is being reported as fact because you're supposedly news. I have a real issue with that.\" 7. Royal dating is done 'back-to-front' Asked when he knew Meghan might be \"the one\", Harry replied: \"The second date I was starting to think, wow, this is pretty special. It was the way we hit it off with each other and we were so comfortable in each other's company. \"Dating with me, or with any member of the Royal Family I guess, is kind of flipped upside down. All the dates become dinners or watching the TV or chatting at home. And then eventually once you become a couple, then you venture out to dinners, to the cinema and everything else. \"So everything was done back-to-front with us. Actually we got to spend an enormous amount of time just the two of us, rather than going to friends' houses or out for dinner where there are other distractions, and that was great, it was an amazing thing. We went from zero to 60 in the first two months.\" Two things he didn't talk about He did not touch on the Duke of Edinburgh's health, or Meghan's pregnancy. They announced the latter earlier this month, after revealing Meghan had a miscarriage last summer. He and Meghan may well discuss those subjects when they are interviewed together by Oprah. That is due to be broadcast on 7 March. It is not known whether it will be conducted on an open-top bus.",

His death is the seventh in custody at the Kent jail this year. Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Prisons (HMIP) said high-risk inmates were not being properly assessed and managed. Inspectors also found HMP Elmley, on the Isle of Sheppey, was overcrowded. The prison holds 1,252 men - compared with the 985 it was designed for, they said. Prisoners and employees were being left vulnerable as a result of staff shortages, which also meant many exercise and education sessions were cancelled. The unannounced inspection in June also found half the posts in the offender management unit remained vacant. Staff in the unit, which monitors offenders through their sentences, received no training or \"meaningful supervision\", the report said. Analysis By Danny Shaw, Home affairs correspondent The Elmley report makes for grim reading. Most of the prisoners will be back on the streets within a few months or years, yet there's little to suggest that what goes on within the walls of this 1992 jail will help rehabilitate them. That's not the fault of staff. There just aren't enough of them. Last week, the Howard League for Penal Reform published research showing the number of prison officers at Elmley and its neighbouring Isle of Sheppey prisons, Standford Hill and Swaleside, had fallen by 300 in four years, from 740 to 340. The figures - supplied by the Ministry of Justice - are mirrored across the public sector prison estate. A national recruitment drive is finally under way, but thousands of officers who had experience of managing the most dangerous and damaged offenders in the most challenging of environments has been largely lost to the service forever. Inspectors also found one supervisor had 47 high-risk cases, which she had not seen for between six and eight months. Inspectors said the prison operated on a \"very restricted and unpredictable regime\". Almost 200 prisoners were held three to a cell, in spaces designed for two prisoners. A further 416 prisoners were paired up in single cells. The report said prisoners with disabilities were well cared for and most aspects of healthcare were good. An inmate who called BBC Radio Kent from HMP Elmley described conditions at the jail as \"disgusting\". \"There's not enough staff, it's so filthy the mice wear overalls, [and] there's a notice on the board today about an infestation of bed bugs,\" he said. The prisoner, whose identity has not been revealed, said they were locked up for 23 hours a day and there was \"unrest\" among the inmates. \"This is a disgusting, filthy, boring, monotonous regime,\" he told the BBC. 'Prisons crisis' Nick Hardwick, Chief Inspector of Prisons, said: \"These are very concerning findings and the first priority should be to stabilise the prison.\" Michael Spurr, chief executive of the National Offender Management Service, said: \"When the inspectorate visited Elmley in June the prison was operating with a high level of staff vacancies. \"Permanent recruitment is under way.\" Shadow Justice Secretary Sadiq Khan said the report showed all that was \"wrong with the prisons system under David Cameron\". \"Chronic staff shortages, rapidly increasing overcrowding and violence are the ingredients of the prisons crisis caused by (Justice Secretary) Chris Grayling's incompetent policies,\" he added. \"While ministers are in denial about the chaos on their watch prisoners aren't being reformed, needlessly putting public safety at risk from released prisoners returning to a life of crime.\"",

Communities Secretary Eric Pickles said it would be a \"good way for councils to reflect local need\". Government sources said \"measures would be taken\" against councils that did not co-operate. Mr Pickles has written to local authorities urging them to work with the Local Government Association to deliver the reforms. He said \"throwing open the council books\" would open the door to new businesses and encourage greater innovation and entrepreneurship. \"The swift and simple changes we are calling for today will unleash an army of armchair auditors and quite rightly make those charged with doling out the pennies stop and think twice about whether they are getting value for money. \"Organisations that might have been effectively locked out before, including voluntary sector and small business, will be in a much stronger position to pitch for contracts and bring new ideas and solutions to the table.\" He later told the BBC that \"it's a good way for local authorities to be accountable to the public, it's a good way to bring down costs, and it's a good way for councils to reflect local need\". He added: \"It's about being able to provide more for less, it's about being able to demonstrate how money is used, and the certainty that you're going to have to justify spending that money is going to be a big prompt to producing better local government.\" At one stage, in opposition, the Conservatives were considering passing laws forcing local authorities to publish spending above £500, in return for more powers in other areas. But the LGA, which is setting up a programme to help councils achieve greater transparency in line with ministers' aims, said legislation was \"never on the table\" in discussions with Mr Pickles' department. 'See and scrutinise' An LGA spokesman said legislation forcing councils to publish financial details would fly in the face of the government's commitment to \"localism\". He said he was confident most councils would comply with the plan, adding that some already published such details and others had \"systems in place\" making it relatively straightforward. According to the timetable announced by Mr Pickles, by September councils will be expected to make details of spending above £500 on all goods and services available for the public to \"see and scrutinise\". This would include such items as car hire, software, consultancy fees and utility bills. The Department for Communities and Local Government says all councils \"should be doing this as a matter of course by the start of next year\", as well as publishing invitations to tender and final contracts on projects over £500. The government has said it will \"consult on greater disclosure of senior staff salaries by name and job descriptions\". Public spending It is also urging \"greater clarity\" on councillors' expenses and for the minutes of meetings, saying what was discussed and decided, to be routinely published. Other proposals including publishing job vacancies online, to reduce advertising costs, and publishing council tax collection rates and data about the performance of services such as rubbish collection and recycling. A raft of other data, including pub licensing decisions, planning discussions, food hygiene reports should also be made available to the public, the DCLG says. Some of it is already in the public domain but it should be republished in a more accessible form and made available to outside groups without charge or copyright claims, it adds. It comes after the government published millions of public spending data in a bid to increase transparency.",

The council's cabinet will meet on 4 May to vote on the recommendations. David Taylor, director of people's services, said the council was \"firm in our proposals\" but that it would still consider further suggestions put forward by schools. A six-week public consultation on the plans, which affect about 800 pupils, ended on 8 April. Mr Taylor said the council had \"genuinely listened\" throughout the consultation process. Further consultation The council's cabinet will decide on 4 May whether to proceed with the plans or amend them in any way, although this would require the new proposals to return to a public consultation stage. If the council backs the plans, they will go through an internal scrutiny process and then be subject to further consultation. A final decision will be made on 20 July. If the plans are implemented, the primary schools will close in July 2012, at the end of the academic year. The Wakeman school would close a year later. With 329 pupils on roll, the Wakeman is the only secondary school on the list. A decision on Lydbury North and Onibury primary schools has been deferred to allow them time to put forward detailed plans for federation - a partnership which would allow them to share some resources. Mr Taylor said he expected those to be in place by the end of June, to allow them to be discussed at the council's meeting on 20 July.

            "input": "By Laurence PeterBBC News President Francois Hollande says France is \"at war\" with so-called Islamic State (IS). For four days Brussels - the Belgian capital and home of EU institutions - has had an unprecedented security lockdown. Here we look at the international impact of the 13 November attacks and the lessons the authorities are trying to draw from it. Are the attacks over? It is too early to say. But there was a breakthrough on 19 November - it was confirmed that the suspected ringleader, IS militant Abdelhamid Abaaoud, was killed in a police raid in Saint-Denis, northern Paris. His fingerprints were formally identified from remains found in a Saint-Denis apartment where, the previous day, a group of militants had fiercely resisted anti-terror police. Two others also died there - a cousin of Abaaoud called Hasna Aitboulahcen and a man not yet identified. France is urgently hunting another leading suspect - Salah Abdeslam, who hired one of the cars used in the attacks. Salah's brother Brahim blew himself up in Boulevard Voltaire on 13 November. French media reported that nine militants carried out the attacks. Nine militants, including Abaaoud, have now died, but Salah Abdeslam is still on the run. Belgium has now also issued an international arrest warrant for Mohamed Abrini, 30, suspected of having been in a car with Salah Abdeslam before the attacks. Paris prosecutor Francois Molins says there is evidence Abaaoud was planning to attack La Defense - an upmarket Paris business district. Two men were arrested in the apartment in Saint-Denis and six other people nearby, so police may get some key information from them. Profile: Abdelhamid Abaaoud Who was Hasna Aitboulahcen? Paris attacks: Who were the victims? How was the plot hatched? French authorities believe that IS in Syria decided to launch the attacks, and that the operation was planned in Belgium, probably in Molenbeek, a Brussels district known for high unemployment, social problems and a mixed immigrant population. IS said its militants had attacked Paris in order to punish \"crusader\" France for its air strikes against \"Muslims in the lands of the Caliphate\" - their language for Iraq and Syria. The attack \"targeted the capital of prostitution and obscenity, the carrier of the banner of the Cross in Europe: Paris,\" IS said. Many Molenbeek residents are Arabs, and jihadists have long been linked to the area. Belgian police have carried out several searches there since 13 November and charged five suspects in connection with the attacks. At least three cars hired in Belgium were used in the attacks: a black Seat, a black VW Polo and a VW Golf. Investigators suspect the gunmen used safe houses in Saint-Denis, Bobigny and Alfortville in the Paris region. But it is not clear when the group met up to launch the attacks. Other elements of the plot also remain unclear. Investigators will be studying phone records and assessing the weapons seized for further clues. Paris attacks and police raids Investigators believe there were three well-organised, tightly co-ordinated groups of militants involved in the 13 November attack. They used Kalashnikov assault rifles and explosive belts. The militants - four of them French citizens - struck at three main locations: outside the Stade de France and, in central Paris, crowded bars and restaurants and the Bataclan concert hall. Three detonated their suicide belts near the stadium, during a high profile France v Germany football match. They may have planned to get inside the stadium but been frustrated. The Bataclan concert hall was the bloodiest scene - 89 people died there. The attacks probably required months of training, said Pieter Van Ostaeyen, a Belgian expert on Islamist extremists. The plan was evidently designed to kill many people randomly - they targeted crowded places, where young people were having fun. Paris attacks: What happened on the night Who were the Paris attackers? Why weren't the attackers stopped? France's security services and its European partners will be scrutinised as to whether they should have picked up intelligence about the attacks, and stopped them. For example, two Belgian IS fighters had warned in a video in February that they would attack France, Mr Van Ostaeyen told the BBC. And security was stepped up in France after the January Islamist attacks in Paris on Charlie Hebdo magazine staff, a policewoman and a Jewish supermarket. Three gunmen killed 17 people before being shot dead by police. But security experts say it is very difficult to prevent attacks like the latest Paris one, involving groups of suicidal gunmen with bombs hitting soft targets indiscriminately and simultaneously. There is surveillance of known jihadists' communications - whether via mobile phone or the internet - but, increasingly, widely available strong encryption makes that more difficult. France and Belgium are now tightening monitoring of suspected jihadists, because some of the attackers had spent time in Syria with IS jihadists. Among the proposals are: jail or house arrest for jihadists who return from Syria; stripping violent jihadists of their citizenship; putting electronic tags on suspects. Some critics also say it is far too easy for jihadists to cross borders in the EU's passport-free Schengen zone. Only now are vehicles being routinely checked at the Belgium-France border. More intelligence-sharing might have alerted police to the imminent threat to Paris. Schengen: EU free movement deal explained How significant is the Belgian connection? Very - Molenbeek was apparently the operational nerve centre, but there were some other Belgian connections. Abaaoud boasted of having helped set up an IS cell in Verviers, eastern Belgium. Police raided a safe house there in January, killing two jihadists, but he got away. Belgian ministers admit that more should have been done to tackle Islamist extremism in Molenbeek. Mehdi Nemmouche, a Franco-Algerian jihadist accused of murdering four people at the Jewish Museum in Brussels in May 2014, had also spent time in Molenbeek. More jihadists have gone from Belgium to join IS in Syria and Iraq than from any other EU country, per capita. Belgium - highly federalised - has various police forces, so sometimes co-ordination is a problem. Sometimes key intelligence is not passed on - not only inside Belgium but also to EU partners such as France, says Dutch expert Liesbeth van der Heide, of Leiden University's Centre for Terrorism and Counterterrorism. The EU does not have a central database for specific intelligence on jihadists - but there are calls for that now. Paris attacks: The Belgian connection Belgium: Europe's favourite gun shop? Has Europe lost control of its borders? The Paris bloodshed has fuelled concerns about Schengen and the EU's external borders. Freedom of movement is a cherished core value of the EU - but it means that violent jihadists and other criminals can also cross borders easily, after entering the EU. Schengen exists in a Europe where national authorities still jealously guard intelligence that affects their country's security. On entering Schengen, EU citizens' passports are generally checked just for validity and authenticity, but not routinely checked with police database records. EU governments have decided that such checks will be routine in future. As for the EU's external borders, the influx of migrants - many of them Syrian refugees - has put them under severe pressure this year. Greece and Italy, with long sea borders to patrol, are getting help from the EU to screen arriving migrants. But it is not enough. More than 650,000 migrants have reached Europe's shores this year. There are fears that some jihadists have slipped through in the crowds. One Paris suicide bomber had a fake Syrian passport in the name of \"Ahmad al-Mohammed\". Greek officials said someone with that passport had been registered last month on the island of Leros. Later, France found that a second Stade de France bomber had also slipped through Greece posing as a migrant. Europe on high security alert Will there be a repeat of the Paris attacks in France or elsewhere? Under the existing state of emergency, French police have greater powers to search premises and detain suspects. France has also hit back, bombing IS militants in Syria and Iraq. The US and its allies, as well as Russia, are also attacking IS to varying degrees. So the risk of IS trying to carry out more attacks, inside Europe or elsewhere, remains real. France has warned that IS might use a chemical or biological weapon in a future attack. French emergency teams are to be supplied with atropine sulfate, an antidote to nerve gas.",

            "input": "Australia is the only Commonwealth country that does not have a treaty with its indigenous populations. Many indigenous Australians have cited a treaty or treaties as the best chance of bringing them substantive as well as symbolic recognition - the subject of a long-running national debate. In an Australian first, a bill committing to a treaty was approved in Victoria's lower house of parliament on Thursday. The Northern Territory and Western Australia have pledged their own, separate actions in recent days. All of this has intensified discussion about whether others, including the Australian government, will follow suit. What is a treaty in this context? It is a formal agreement that can define the relationship between a government and indigenous peoples. A treaty might include binding pacts on specific issues, such as protecting rights and acknowledging past wrongs. It could also set out practical agreements in areas such as health and education. \"We do not seek to limit what a treaty can be, nor who will negotiate specific agreements,\" said one advisory group, Aboriginal Victoria. Why doesn't Australia have one? In 1988, then Prime Minister Bob Hawke promised a treaty after he was presented with a landmark document, the Barunga Statement, from indigenous leaders. Despite public momentum, the discussions were sidelined amid concern over their implications - such as financial compensation. Over the years, government focus shifted to other forms of reconciliation, including progress on land rights, debates over constitutional recognition, and programmes intended to reduce indigenous disadvantage. Last year, Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull rejected calls to set up a parliamentary body that would have overseen a treaty progress. He argued that most Australians would not support it. What does the Victorian bill say? If passed in the upper house, it will legislate a process for establishing a state Aboriginal representative body and a treaty, or treaties. The bill will also require the Victorian government to provide annual updates on progress. \"It is about the recognition of us as the first people of this country,\" said Victorian Treaty Advancement Commissioner Jill Gallagher. Aboriginal history Prof Richard Broome, from La Trobe University, told the BBC: \"It is very significant because it is the first move from any government in the country.\" What is happening elsewhere? Prof Broome described the Victorian step as \"the beginning of the journey\", pointing to efforts by other governments. On Friday, the Northern Territory government signed a memorandum of understanding with indigenous groups to formally start work on a treaty. Meanwhile, Western Australia has also announced plans to establish its own official Aboriginal representative body. The Australian government has not responded to the state and territory developments.",

She had made an \"outstanding contribution\", the chairman said. A recent consultation has resulted in the loss of 90 roles across the group. The company, founded in Woodbridge, Suffolk in 1770, moved to Norwich in 1823 and employs about 400 people. The firm's five-floor store is based in London Street, while there are smaller shops in Cromer and Wymondham. Earlier this year, the family-run business was granted the freedom of Norwich, and its chief executive said at the time it continued to thrive despite the national trend of struggling town centres. It is celebrating 250 years of trade this year, but soon after it started marking the anniversary, it was instructed to close and its staff were furloughed. Analysis - BBC East Business Correspondent, Richard Bond Making nearly a quarter of its retail workforce redundant in its 250th anniversary year isn't what Jarrold wanted to be doing at all. But the flagship Norwich store isn't immune from the enormous changes hitting the high street. Ninety staff out of 400 are out of the door, including chief executive Minnie Moll. She was brought in two years ago to revamp the iconic department store. Her changes - including the introduction of several new restaurants - brought in a younger, more affluent clientele.

The Home Office has appealed the decision. The Good Friday Agreement allows people to be British, Irish or both. On Tuesday, lawyers representing the Home Office and Ms De Souza in Belfast put forward opposing arguments by video link to two judges sitting in London. Anyone born in Northern Ireland has the right to identify as Irish or British or both, thanks to the Good Friday Agreement, signed in April 1998 by the British and Irish governments and Northern Ireland's political parties. Ms De Souza applied for a residence card for her US-born husband in December 2015, making the application under her Irish passport. However, the Home Office rejected the application as it deemed Ms De Souza was British, even though she says that she never held a British passport. They requested that Ms De Souza either reapply as a British citizen or renounce her British citizenship to apply as an Irish citizen. But she challenged the decision, citing the Good Friday Agreement's terms that assert her ability to identify as Irish, British or both. In 2017, a judge at a First Tier Immigration Tribunal ruled that Ms DeSouza was an \"Irish national only who has only ever been such\". British Nationality Act On Tuesday, a lawyer acting for the home secretary, told the court there was a \"legal error\" in the First Tier decision, arguing that the Good Friday Agreement (or Belfast Agreement) did not supersede the 1981 British Nationality Act. He put to the court that the Good Friday Agreement is two documents - a multi-party agreement and an international treaty between the British and Irish governments. He said the 1998 Northern Ireland Act includes sections from both documents, but does not include the provisions around identifying as British, Irish or both, and therefore the 1981 Act stood. \"She (Ms De Souza) identifies herself as Irish. \"The operation of the British Nationality Act 1981 means that she has held British citizenship since her birth,\" he said, adding that her British citizenship was never renounced. Flexibility A lawyer acting for Ms De Souza, said it is up to the courts to interpret documents such as the 1998 Northern Ireland Act along with the Belfast Agreement. \"Lord Bingham said (in a speech) the 1998 Act was passed to enact the Belfast Agreement, which was itself reached after much travail in an attempt to end decades of bloodshed and centuries of antagonism,\" he said. \"And that is what we are dealing with here.\" He said the UK does not have a written constitution and that commentators have reflected that its \"beauty\" is its \"flexibility\" and that \"when we are looking at the UK constitution it draws upon not just one document\". \"In the context of Northern Ireland, when one is interpreting any piece of legislation one must look at the Belfast Agreement and the provisions of it, and interpret the legislation in a way which is consistent with it,\" he added.

The gunman died of bullet wounds after going on a rampage near Santa Barbara. Police are investigating a video in which a man complains of rejection by women, threatening revenge. Authorities have not confirmed the identity of the gunman, or that of the young man seen in the YouTube video. But Peter Rodger's lawyer, Alan Shifman, said on Saturday that the \"family believes the child was the perpetrator\". He said the son had Asperger's syndrome, had trouble making friends and had been receiving professional help. Mr Shifman added that the family had contacted police about \"recent posts on YouTube\" by Elliot \"regarding suicide and the killing of people\". The family is \"devastated\" and co-operating with police, he said. Ricardo Martinez, whose 20-year-old son Christopher was one of the victims, spoke of his grief. \"When will this insanity stop? ... Too many have died. We should say to ourselves 'Not one more',\" he said. Bullet wounds Santa Barbara County Sheriff Bill Brown told reporters on Friday that police were treating the incident as \"premeditated mass murder\". It occurred in the area of Isla Vista, near the University of California-Santa Barbara campus. Witnesses described seeing a black BMW speeding through the streets, with shots being fired at people. Police say they were alerted around 21:30 on Friday (04:30 GMT on Saturday). Six minutes later, the suspect and responding officers exchanged gunfire. The suspect fled. But after a second exchange of fire with police, he eventually crashed into a parked vehicle. He was found dead in his car with a bullet wound to the head. although police say it is not yet clear whether the wound was self-inflicted. A semi-automatic handgun was recovered from the vehicle. Seven other people are in hospital, and being treated for bullet wounds. The University of California-Santa Barbara said was \"shocked and saddened'' by the shootings and that several of its students had been taken to hospital.

            "input": "By Jamie McIvorBBC Scotland education correspondent The most significant change since the last guidance was published 14 years ago is the introduction of civil partnerships and same-sex marriages. Schools and local authorities are responsible for deciding just how to put the guidelines into practice. Parents still have the right to withdraw their children from sex education lessons. They have the right to withdraw their child if \"alternative positive educational provision\" can be provided. The distinct ethos of Catholic schools is still recognised by the new guidelines. Sexual health The guidance provide a framework for how schools cover issues such as relationships, sexual health and protecting children from exploitation. They reflect other pieces of guidance and legislation and other changes in schools in recent years. The guidelines also highlight the need to protect children from homophobic and transgender bullying - an issue which continues to cause concern. Lessons on relationship, sexual health and parenthood are expected to reflect issues relating to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex young people such as same-sex marriage and hate-crime reporting. The document stresses that teachers should base their lessons on fact and should not support or endorse one type of relationship over another. This means, for example that they can neither condemn nor promote unmarried couples or same-sex relationships. But the guidelines also make the point that if a teacher is asked to teach something to which they fundamentally object, they should feel comfortable raising this with the school or local authority. The guidance warns that \"there has been a rise in self-generated pornography among teenagers, including through sexting\". It also says teachers must \"recognise that relationships for children and young people can begin and take place online\" but they must balance this with \"concerns about online grooming and child sexual exploitation\". The guidance says that a \"comprehensive provision of information in an open and transparent environment by teachers who are well-trained and feel confident to deliver high-quality lessons will ensure that children avoid seeking inappropriate alternative methods to gather information about sexual health and relationships, such as pornography. Curriculum for Excellence Learning Minister Alasdair Allan said: \"The fundamental purpose of Relationships, Sexual Health and Parenthood (RSHP) education is to teach children and young people to have respect for themselves and others. \"This refresh of the guidance reflects the societal changes that have taken place since the old version was published, changes in laws and the successful introduction of Curriculum for Excellence. \"Our engagement on the guidance, which began last year, generated debate and attracted a number of responses and I am grateful to all who contributed. \"The issues covered by RSHP can be seen as the building blocks to how pupils look after themselves and engage with people for the rest of their lives. \"These classes allow pupils to think about their development and the importance of healthy living surrounded by their peers who will have similar experiences to them. \"The guidance recognises the professionalism of teachers, the expertise they bring to making lessons age-appropriate and an invaluable addition to discussions that parents are likely already having with their children at home.\" The guidelines also explore the role \"peer educators\" can play - in other words, how specially-trained young people can provide information to others at their school. An award-winning project at Kirkcaldy High School - where NHS services are provided within the school and where young people are trained to provide information - has been credited with helping to reduce the number of underage pregnancies locally. Explore issues Tam Baillie, Scotland's Commissioner for Children and Young People, said: \"This guidance puts into practice the commitment made in the Children and Young People (Scotland) Act 2014, that the government would actively promote the rights and wellbeing of children and young people. \"Recent high-profile cases of Child Sexual Exploitation and sexual abuse have highlighted the importance of ensuring that education in schools equips children and young people with information to help keep themselves safe. \"Giving children and young people the knowledge and understanding of healthy, respectful and loving relationships and the opportunity to explore issues in a safe environment protects them from harm and promotes tolerance. \"Young people have a right to get comprehensive, accurate and evidence-based information to help them to make positive, healthy and responsible choices in their relationships. \"Furthermore, there is extensive evidence that high-quality RSHP education helps reduce teenage pregnancy; delays the onset of sexual activity and increases the likelihood of young people using contraception when they do start sexual relationships. \"The implementation of this guidance in all schools across Scotland will be a positive step in keeping our children and young people safe.\" Parenthood education Martin Crewe, director of Barnardo's Scotland, said: \"We think it delivers a much clearer link between the child protection system and the advice given to teachers on this important subject. \"We feel particularly pleased to see the inclusion of information about the steps that need to be taken to address the dangers of child sexual exploitation. \"We hope the guidance will be an important step in ensuring all Scotland's children are supported and protected through high-quality evidence-based relationships, sexual health and parenthood education.\"",

            "input": "By Johannes BruwerInternational Committee of the Red Cross Welcome to the Yemeni healthcare system in 2017. The bizarre and haunting scenes I have witnessed recently in the capital, Sanaa, are the consequences of a health catastrophe spiralling out of control. In a country where vital infrastructure is devastated by a brutal and ongoing war, the toll of this cholera outbreak grows by the thousands every day. Despite the sickness, the hospitals do not smell of vomit and diarrhoea. Instead, they smell of body odour - a testament to the overcrowding in many of these facilities. Packed rooms and hallways are quiet. Patients look at us, with no expression. Parents hold the hands of their children, some of whose eyes roll into the back of their heads. Overburdened medical staff do what they can but often do not have enough supplies or knowledge - two reasons cholera has spread so fast. The cholera outbreak has infected more than 200,000 people across Yemen, and it appears that 500,000 could eventually become sick. More than 1,300 people have already died. The disease should not be so ferocious. Preventing cholera is pretty simple in theory: wash your hands with clean water, drink clean water, and eat food that has been boiled or cooked. But clean water in Yemen is a luxury. Municipal workers in Sanaa have not been paid in months. And so we have no electricity, rubbish piling high in the street, and a crippled water system. The sewer system stopped working on 17 April. Ten days later, cholera hit. A massive response is needed, and not nearly enough international attention is being paid to what is going on here. Yemen was until relatively recently a functional country. Sitting on the southern tip of the Arabian Peninsula, it has always had its shortcomings, but the education and health systems were working. Clean water and electricity ran 24 hours a day. Rubbish was collected. In an astonishingly short period of time, though, those pillars of a healthy society crumbled, beginning with the Arab Spring and accelerating during today's full-blown war. Violence is now part of life; I hear air strikes even as I write this. Hospital systems have collapsed, with medical staff no longer paid. The staff who remain are overwhelmed. My organisation, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), is currently providing care to nearly one in five cholera cases in the country - the biggest single provider of case management and infection control. The ICRC has flown in five charter planes carrying large quantities of chlorine, IV fluids and other medical supplies in recent days. ICRC health staff and engineers are supporting 17 cholera treatment facilities around the country. We are improving hygiene and sanitation conditions, and raising cholera awareness among the general public. We provide what we can, where we can. But even with similar work being done by Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) and the World Health Organisation (WHO), there are simply too many people in need. We are impressed with the Yemeni ministry of health staff, who work day and night without pay or protection, exposing themselves and their families to sickness. The dedication is beyond commendable. To help motivate - or say thank-you - the ICRC gave a modest Eid al-Fitr bonus at the end of Ramadan. But we know it is not enough. This is my third mission to Yemen. I love the country. There is nowhere on earth like this anymore. It is complex and fascinating, the Arabia I once dreamed about visiting. But this mission to Yemen has been less dream, more nightmare. I think the vacant stares in the eyes of children - and their parents - may well haunt me 10 years from now. Yemen now suffers three-way tragedy: a population under siege, suffering the violence of war and unable to work or access nutritious food or health care; an economic collapse that has led to a rise in criminality; and now a devastating health crisis. This all leads to what could be the largest cholera outbreak of our lifetime. I have worked with the ICRC for 11 years, but this is the first time I have seen this kind of suffering. The Yemenis' remaining resilience will be sapped. But even if a miracle materialises and the cholera crisis disappears tomorrow, the ongoing war remains. The people here will still not find the nutrition they need. And the country will be in much worse shape than before. The deadly imprint of cholera will continue to grow, and its effects will cripple this fragile, war-weary society far into the future.

By last Friday, it recorded 779 deaths in total. 20 deaths were registered in the week ending 5 June, it said. NI's Department of Health, which releases daily figures, had recorded 537 deaths in total - more than 200 fewer - by the same date. The daily numbers mostly reflect hospital deaths and where patients had tested positive for the virus, whereas Nisra's weekly figures cover all fatalities in which coronavirus has been recorded on the death certificate. On Friday, the Department of Health reported a further one person with coronavirus had died, bringing its total to 539. There have been 16 new confirmed cases. Nisra figures also show that care home residents have accounted for more than half (51.9%) of Covid-linked deaths in Northern Ireland. Of those deaths, 334 (82.7%) occurred in a care home, but 70 people whose usual address was in a care home died in hospital. The bulletin also states that deaths in care homes are falling, with four (21.1%) of the 20 deaths recorded in the week ending 5 June occurring in care homes, down from 27% the previous week. The report says of the 779 deaths it recorded in total by 5 June, 334 (42.9%) occurred in care homes; 395 (50.7%) occurred in hospital and eight (1%) occurred in hospices. Residential addresses or another location are recorded as being the site of 42 deaths (5.4%). The deaths in care homes and hospices involved 78 separate establishments, Nisra reported. People aged over 75 accounted for almost 80% of all Covid-19 related deaths in Northern Ireland. The latest figures from Nisra also include a breakdown of all Covid-19 related deaths by council area. Of the 11 councils, Belfast has recorded the most deaths, 228, while Fermanagh and Omagh has registered the fewest deaths, at 16. Where Northern Ireland stands in the UK Meanwhile, figures separate from Nisra, suggest Northern Ireland's rate of Covid-19 deaths was the lowest of the four UK nations in March and April. The figures have been released by the Office for National Statistics (ONS), the UK's largest independent producer of official statistics. The ONS figures for March and April show that England had the highest rate of Covid-19 deaths, with 363.8 deaths per 100,000 population. Scotland followed with 319.5 deaths per 100,000 population. Wales, had 289.3 deaths per 100,000 population. The lowest UK rate for the two months was in Northern Ireland, with 185.9 deaths per 100,000 population. Northern Ireland's excess deaths Nisra said the total number of all deaths registered in Northern Ireland in the week ending 5 June was 304; falling from 316 in the previous week - but still higher than what would be expected at this time of year. The corresponding five-year average death rate in Northern Ireland is 271. Nisra said there had been 973 \"excess deaths\" registered in Northern Ireland over the last 10 weeks. This measure captures all deaths caused by the coronavirus - the infections that were confirmed and feature in the daily figures, as well as the suspected cases that were mentioned on the death certificate. It also captures the deaths caused indirectly by the pandemic, such as people who died because of the strain on hospitals and care homes or by the effects of the lockdown.",

            "input": "Prof Sir Rory Collins said two critical articles published in the British Medical Journal (BMJ) were flawed. But BMJ editor Dr Fiona Godlee said they were well researched. The drugs are already offered to about seven million people in the UK who have a one-in-five chance of heart disease in the next decade. The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) says the scope for offering this treatment should be widened to people with as low as a one in 10 or 10% risk to save more lives. Its recommendation follows a study which was overseen by Professor Collins' team at Oxford University. Prof Collins criticised articles in the BMJ by John Abramson from Harvard medical school, and Aseem Malhotra, a UK cardiologist, who both claimed statins caused harmful side-effects and did not reduce mortality. He told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: \"Statins are given to people at elevated risk of heart attacks and strokes - if people at elevated risk stop taking their statins or don't start taking their statins then they will have unnecessary heart attacks and strokes, there will be unnecessary deaths from vascular causes. This is really irresponsible journalism.\" He said the studies' claims, that about 20% of people suffer disabling side-effects due to statins, was not supported by the original research referenced by the papers published by the BMJ. Research 'not released' He told the Guardian that the reporting was creating a situation which had echoes of the MMR vaccine controversy. \"It is a serious disservice to British and international medicine,\" he said. But the BMJ's editor, Dr Fiona Godlee, defended the articles, saying some research understated the risks of side-effects. \"The randomised control trial data is notoriously poor at reporting adverse events. So I think it's extremely important that the public understand when we're talking about extending statins to people at low risk, that the balance between benefits and harms becomes much more important,\" she said. She added: \"The articles were well written, well referenced, they were peer reviewed.\" Dr Godlee also criticised the fact that the individual patient data of Prof Collins' research had not been released. \"It's no longer sufficient to make widespread extension of drug treatments on the basis of data that is not widely available for scrutiny,\" she said. Currently, doctors are supposed to offer statin tablets to the estimated seven million people who have a 20% chance of developing cardiovascular disease over 10 years, based on risk factors such as their age, sex, whether they smoke and what they weigh. Doctors will need to \"make a judgement\" about the risks to people who have a less than 10% risk of developing cardiovascular disease and advise them appropriately, say the draft guidelines. The NHS currently spends about £450m a year on statins. If the draft recommendations go ahead, this bill will increase substantially, although the drugs have become significantly cheaper over the years.",

            "input": "By Alex TaylorBBC News Speaking on David Tennant's podcast, US writer and actress Tina Fey revealed that, while leader, Mr Cameron implored her to lobby the British TV industry to churn out as many episodes as US shows do. \"Come and convince our showrunners that they can't just make six episodes of things. Like you guys, they should make 200 episodes,\" she recalled him saying. Fey rejected the request, however, explaining that US writers were, in fact, jealous of the less-is-more British approach. UK shows tend to be authored by one writer - be that Fleabag's Phoebe Waller-Bridge or Derry Girls' Lisa McGee - and hold shorter runs of between six to eight episodes per series as a result. In the US, meanwhile, scriptwriting is synonymous with the writers' room, in which a team of scribes - led by the showrunner - work together to produce up to 22 episodes a season. Each writer will generally get to pen their own episode as part of the overall narrative arc. But, according to scriptwriter Gareth McLean, the showrunner always has the chance to \"overwrite to add a consistency of tone\". Production timeframes also differ. Unlike the UK, where series are completed well ahead of time, writers of US shows often write from episode to episode. The closest we come to this in Britain is a soap, where multiple instalments are churned out per week. There are also more eyeballs to reach, and therefore more money, in the US market. Bigger ratings make the US industry more lucrative for advertisers, says Ant Boys, a Bafta-nominated writer and editor with credits on both UK political satire The Thick of It and its stateside equivalent Veep. \"The biggest difference is that the US industry just has far more money pumped into it, and can afford to pay a room full or writers. The UK industry just can't,\" he says. \"In the early days of The Thick of It, we were making episodes for £80,000, but for the early episodes of Veep, we were looking at $3m (£2.3m) an episode,\" \"When you have that disparity, the ability to hire more writers and produce more episodes is clear.\" Less is more? Having more money, writers and episodes doesn't necessarily mean the calibre of writing is any better or worse, of course. But McLean says shorter runs can allow more succinct writing, authored in a way that can assure clarity of vision. \"Confident\" writers like Waller-Bridge use the brevity to great effect. \"In the case of Fleabag it was very much a case of, 'I've got a story to tell, I can tell it really clearly in the way I want to tell it.'\" The Office is an example of how the approaches can differ - Ricky Gervais and co-writer Stephen Merchant wrote 12 episodes, plus two Christmas specials, for the UK, whereas Greg Daniels' US adaptation turned it into into a 201-episode behemoth over nine seasons. Fawlty Towers, which was recently named the best British sitcom ever by Radio Times, was 12 episodes long, while Peter Kay's Car Share recently concluded, also after 12 instalments. Even long-running shows like Only Fools and Horses (64 episodes) and Blackadder (27) can't keep up with most hit US shows. Tina Fey's 30 Rock lasted for 138 episodes over seven seasons. A room full of writers' heads can be better than one, but there are also clear commercial reasons for this expansion, as shows can go on to make big money through syndication once their original runs conclude. US sitcom Seinfeld hit the headlines in 2013 after reportedly generating $3.1bn (£2.05bn) in repeat fees since its final episode 15 years earlier. Show me the money! The UK TV industry similarly benefits from lucrative overseas sales. British producers earned more than £900m from selling their shows abroad in 2016/17. The contribution they make to the economy is likely to be the main reason David Cameron approached Fey, rather than his love of The Office or 30 Rock. Commercial success \"often means looking for ways to stretch something out even when it's not really feasible\", says Guardian TV critic Hannah Davies. While US shows can be churned out quickly, she says \"super-long US shows such as Supernatural can become generally disjointed\", particularly in the glare of union-led writers' strikes. And this dominance of financial interests can strengthen further in syndication, with Seinfeld episodes \"made shorter to free up more time per episode for adverts, increasing network revenue\", says Sarah O'Connell, a YouTube host and film critic. \"Of course, watering down content ultimately affects its overall quality and enjoyment, so it's a fine balance.\" Binge rules? So, what of Cameron's suggestion? Given the differences in funding levels between the traditional UK and US scriptwriting models, it would seem unrealistic. But in the current age of streaming and binge-watching, normal rules don't apply. Shows like The Sopranos and The Wire changed perceptions, according to culture journalist Manu Ekanayake, meaning \"length is now practically expected\". Stories are \"deeper, characterisation more complex and sub-plots can unfold over a matter of years, rather than a season of six episodes\". Streaming services can also take more creative risks - dropping and commissioning shows throughout the year and producing award-winning original programming - at a pace that traditional broadcasters are unable to match. But, in the carnage of what McLean describes as the \"age of disruption\", a middle ground is emerging in audience expectations. Both Boys and McLean say the models are overlapping. British series like No Offence have used a writers' room, while such set-ups in the US are shrinking. Davies says viewers are starting to become \"more selective\" to navigate the increasingly crowded TV marketplace. Over the past year, Netflix and Amazon have signed up writers to exclusivity contracts, suggesting the divide may not be over quantity, but quality. Waller-Bridge's decision to end Fleabag as it peaked in popularity reflects this. \"I think people were surprised to hear it was apparently finishing after two series,\" says Davies. \"But doing so let it end on a high. \"Often you get the sense that some series, in particular US series, don't know quite when to stop.\" Follow us on Facebook, on Twitter @BBCNewsEnts, or on Instagram at bbcnewsents.

Opponents said the ships were creating a bigger wash and were harming habitats in the Lymington River. But following a public inquiry, the planning inspector agreed that a plan to dredge material from the river to replenish marshland was sufficient. Wightlink, which introduced the ferries in 2009, now needs to obtain licences to carry out the environmental work before construction of the terminal can begin. New Forest's district council and park authority withdrew their objections to the scheme after it was revealed Natural England had agreed to the plans to replenish the marsh. 'Battle not over' The Lymington River Association continued to argue during the public inquiry that the bigger W class ferries were damaging the river with its protected mudflats and salt marshes, which are rich in bird and marine life. Stephen Akester, from the group, said: \"This is something we have been struggling with since 2008 and getting to this point is clearly disappointing. \"The firm still has to get these licences and we are in negotiations with the Marine Management Organisation [which give them out], so the battle is not over.\" The inspector has restricted annual ferry trips to 18,000 and maintained current speed restrictions. The report said: \"The recharge [dredging works] has the potential to slow down the progress of the expansion of the channel that is currently cutting rapidly through the marsh and to delay its breakthrough. \"Although there remain uncertainties about the future impact and success of the recharge works, the upper limits of the potential impact have been identified. \"I am satisfied on the evidence that the recharge works have the potential to offset the worst case outcome.\" Wightlink said it was \"delighted\" with the decision but now needed to act fast to obtain the relevant licences.",

They said that all 105 Toys R Us stores will remain open until further notice. Joint administrator Simon Thomas said: \"Whilst this process is likely to affect many Toys R Us staff, whether some or all of the stores will close remains to be decided.\" Toys R Us has been facing a £15m tax bill. However, poor sales have made it unlikely that it can make the payment. Mr Thomas said: \"We will make every effort to secure a buyer for all or part of the business. \"The newer, smaller, more interactive stores in the portfolio have been outperforming the older warehouse-style stores that were opened in the 1980s and 1990s.\" What does this mean for shoppers? A large sale of remaining products at Toys R Us is expected. The administrators said this would happen in stores only, as the online service and click-and-collect will be closed immediately. Shoppers who have ordered an item already on click-and-collect can still pick it up, but only if that item is still available in stock. Anyone with Toys R Us gift cards and vouchers should spend them in stores as soon as possible before the shops are closed down. No more gift cards will be sold. The retailer had a \"take time to pay\" service, which allowed customers to reserve a product and then pay for it gradually for 12 weeks, before picking it up. The administrators said these reservations would be honoured, provided that the outstanding balance was paid and the goods collected by 11 March. Alternatively, customers can use their deposits towards the cost of any other item bought in a store by 11 March. The UK arm of Toys R Us - its US owner filed for bankruptcy protection last September - managed to stave off administration in December after it struck an agreement with the Pension Protection Fund (PPF) to inject £9.8m into its retirement scheme over three years. The scheme has a shortfall of £38m which will now be transferred over to the PPF. People who have already retired will receive 100% of their pension payments, while whose still working will get 90%. Andy McKinnon, acting chief executive at the PPF, said: \"We will now be working to maximise the recovery to the scheme from the administration. Members of the Toys R Us pension scheme can be reassured that the PPF is there to protect them.\" Maplin, the electronics retailer, has also filed for administration, putting 2,500 jobs in danger. The struggling business had been attempting to find a buyer, but its chief executive Graham Harris said it had \"not been possible to secure a solvent sale of the business and as a result, we now have no alternative but to enter into an administration process\". Julie Palmer, regional managing partner at professional services firm Begbies Traynor, said Toys R Us had \"fallen foul of a perfect storm hitting bricks-and-mortar retailers across the board\". She said: \"Rising costs from the National Living Wage, apprenticeship levy and inflation, combined with ongoing pressure on consumer spending and the continued rise of the internet are hitting retailers with a big High Street presence hard.\" Neil Wilson, senior market analyst at ETX Capital, said: \"Ultimately this is a necessary shakeout of some pretty out-dated retailers, which though terrible for those affected by job losses, is likely to mean a leaner, fitter retail market and a more productive use of capital. \"The question is whether there are more out there that could fall by the wayside.\" Analysis: Emma Simpson, business correspondent Retail is tough right now, even for the strong players. Toys R Us has made a loss seven out of the last eight financial years. It is a subsidiary of a US business which has been drowning in billions of dollars of debt. Financially weak, Toys R Us has been unable to adapt to changing shopping habits. These days, many shoppers don't want or need to drive 20 minutes to a big out-of-town warehouse to buy toys. Costs have been rising for all retailers and consumer demand has been softening. It's a combination which is putting pressure on many retailers and the weaker ones are particularly exposed. Toys R Us was once the disrupter, a so-called category killer. Now many are wondering if it can survive in the UK and in what form.",

            "input": "By BBC MonitoringThe world through its media The overall gist of primetime state TV news reports is that Amesbury poisoning could be a ploy to tarnish Russia's image in the West, particularly at a time when - they argue - it has been boosted by its hosting of the World Cup. They also point out that it is a time of intense diplomatic activity involving US President Donald Trump in the run-up to his meeting with President Vladimir Putin in Helsinki. \"Coincidentally or not,\" a correspondent on state-run Rossiya 1 said, the poisoning in Amesbury took place \"right before\" a Nato summit and Donald Trump's visit to Britain. Over on Channel One, a London-based Russian pundit said the incident had come as Theresa May's cabinet was facing \"huge problems\". In addition to a \"failed\" Brexit and a \"failed\" economy, she is dealing with the uncertainty over Mr Trump's visit and the Nato summit, he said. He added that all this comes amid \"concerns\" in the West about what Mr Trump may agree with Mr Putin. Illegal drugs Russian TV also suggests that the Amesbury couple could have poisoned themselves with illegal drugs they had procured. According to an NTV correspondent, drug poisoning is \"a more realistic and simple account of what has happened\". She spoke to a local man who was voiced over as saying that \"just about everyone around here takes drugs - we think they simply got a contaminated batch\". Russian chemical weapons expert Anton Utkin told Rossiya 1's \"60 Minutes\" programme that both the poisoning of Sergei and Yulia Skripal and the incident in Amesbury \"could somehow be linked with some sort of narcotics\". 'Director of Darkness' News website Gazeta.ru speaks of a plot by a \"theatre director of darkness\" to smear Russia at a \"suspiciously convenient time\" - in the middle of a World Cup that is \"disproving many of the Western press's scare stories\". Another Channel One pundit compares Britain's behaviour to the kind of hostility towards Russia usually displayed by Ukrainian leaders. \"This is pure schizophrenia, with the English beginning to imitate Kiev, who see the hand of Moscow when it rains,\" he said. 'Inhumane experiments' Another common line is to suggest that the British government's Porton Down chemical research complex, which lies near both Salisbury and Amesbury, is somehow linked to the latest poisoning. Channel One produced a map highlighting both towns' location within a 11km (6.8mi) radius of Porton Down - a fact a Rossiya 1 presenter called \"a frightening coincidence\". One theory floated by pro-Kremlin media outlets says the attacks in the two towns were the work of a rogue British chemical weapons specialist. Nikolai Kovalyov, a former head of Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB), told government newspaper Rossiyskaya Gazeta that this could be a former Porton Down employee who \"is continuing with his inhumane experiments on people\". The remark refers to the fact that Port Down in the past tested nerve gas on humans. On social media, pro-Kremlin commentators have been spreading similar conspiracy theories to their counterparts on TV and news websites. Many also distorted remarks by British Home Office minister Ben Wallace to the BBC that the police are working on the assumption that the couple poisoned in Amesbury \"are victims of the consequences of the previous attack or something else but not that they were directly targeted\". State news agency RIA Novosti reported this as \"based on London's provisional information, Russia is not complicit in the Amesbury poisoning incident. It wasn't an attack by Moscow\". \"British Home Office: According to London's preliminary data, Russia is not involved in the incident with the Amesbury poisoning.

They told her how grateful they were to get the Operation Christmas Child box. The charity believes it could be the first time social media has helped unite a sender and receiver. Growing up in Ruthin, Denbighshire, Mrs Glyn said the horrors of the Bosnian War were lost on her. All she knew when she packed the Operation Christmas Child shoebox with toys, a toothbrush, toothpaste and a picture of herself was that she would be helping a child in need. \"Being six I wasn't really aware of what was going on in Bosnia. I think I knew there was a war but didn't really understand,\" she said. \"I was sort of aware the box was going to help other children in difficult situations.\" She said she thought no more of it - until she received a message on Facebook earlier this month. \"I just got this message from a lady I didn't know with this picture of me as a child saying 'hello, is this you?',\" she said. \"I said 'yes'. I thought it might be someone I'd met on a holiday as a child and gave my name and picture to.\" It turned out the woman who had got in touch - Anesa Avdic Dzinalic - was married to Mirzet Dzinalic, the little boy who received the shoebox in Montenegro. Together with his sister, Safida Dzinalic-Dedic, who was 12 at the time, they were so grateful for the unexpected gift that they kept the photograph of the little girl who had sent it. Crucially, she had written her name on the back of it. It was taken with them in their family album when they later moved to Sweden. \"When Anesa - and then Safida - got in touch, I was quite emotional about it,\" said Mrs Glyn, who is now married with two young daughters. \"The first thing I thought was how amazing it was that they'd kept the picture and also that they had traced me on Facebook as they only knew me by my maiden name. \"I got talking to them and found out more about what I'd packed in the box as I couldn't remember. A Mickey Mouse puzzle, a toothbrush and my picture with my name written on the back... \"Safida said they didn't have much stuff back then and they really appreciated the things in the box. The fact they traced me shows that.\" Now a primary school teacher at Ysgol y Gymraeg Dewi Sant in Rhyl, Mrs Glyn plans to tell her pupils about her shoebox experience when she returns after maternity leave before Christmas. \"Our school still takes part in Operation Christmas Child so I will tell the children how you never know when these things pop up again and how you are really helping people,\" she added. She also hopes to travel to Sweden to meet the family in future. Operation Christmas Child - the Samaritan's Purse campaign which helps people send shoeboxes of toys and supplies to children in need around the world - said Mrs Glyn's story was quite unique. \"Many people include short letters and photographs of themselves, a good number of those packing and receiving the shoeboxes become close pen-friends, and we often have 'full circle' stories where children who received a shoebox become packers themselves,\" a spokesman said. \"But I've never heard of someone finding the packer through social media in that way.\"",

            "input": "By Mark KinverEnvironment reporter, BBC News And when the extent of the devastation was finally tallied, 18 people had lost their lives and the storm was listed as the most expensive weather-related event in the history of the British insurance industry. Also, landscapes familiar for generations had changed forever. An estimated 15 million trees were uprooted, countless more were damaged in the few hours that the Great Storm, with winds recorded at speeds in excess of 160 km/h (100mph; 86 knots) wreaked havoc across woodlands and plantations. At Toys Hill, the highest point in Kent, about 98% of the woodland - including many veteran beech trees that had adorned the hillside for centuries - was lost. Copperas Wood nature reserve in Essex lost almost three-quarters of its ancient woodland, which primarily consisted of coppiced sweet chestnut and hornbeam. Although the immediate aftermath left people in a sense of shock of how the landscape had changed beyond recognition overnight, Keith Kirby - who at the time worked for English Nature (which later became Natural England) - said it could later be seen as a blessing in disguise for woodland ecology. \"The immediate reaction was that everyone thought that it was a great disaster but I think, with hindsight - on the whole - it was beneficial in many respects,\" he told BBC News. \"Until then, we had not fully appreciated just how uniform our woods were becoming.\" Dr Kirby, who co-edited a 1993 report on the storm's ecological impact on woodlands, explained that, at the time, many of the woods' canopies were closing over as the trees entered the young, mature stage of their lifecycle. The previous time wood was in such high demand and vast numbers of trees were felled was during the Second World War, he explained. \"The last remnants of active coppicing were also dying out, so the woods were getting into a fairly dark and shady state.\" The lack of light meant that much of the low-level flora and fauna that favoured woodland conditions were struggling. \"With the storm coming along when it did, it helped break up those canopies in some places and create some gaps that otherwise would not have occurred,\" Dr Kirby, now a visiting researcher at Oxford University's Department of Plant Science, observed. He recalled how one long-term monitoring project, which ran from 1971 to 2001, looked at 100 woodland plots across the UK, shedding some light on one of the possible silver linings to an otherwise devastating weather event. \"One of things that we found was that, on the whole, the flora had become thinned out and there was a lower species richness - except in about 10 of the woods. \"When we looked at where [the 10 plots] were, they were all in south-east England and they were all within the storm track.\" The abrupt opening of the woodlands' thick canopies offered a lifeline to plants and butterflies that had once thrived in these habitats. Dr Kirby observed: \"It is more the commoner woodland species - such as primrose and bluebells - that can survive under shade, but if the shade continues for long periods then their density does thin out. \"It was the regular opening of the canopies through the coppice regimes in the past that meant a lot of our woodlands had these great displays of spring flowers. \"Woodland butterflies, fritillaries in particular, are associated with gaps or temporary hotspots within the woods.\" He added that there was no evidence to confirm that they did benefit from the storm, but \"what we do know is that their trend has been in general decline through most of Britain and this has been associated with increased shade\". \"The storm might have given them a temporary respite but, unfortunately, it was only temporary and the decline is now continuing.\" Changing composition The other co-editor of the 1993 report, Peter Buckley, said another ecological benefit of the storm was that it changed the composition of woodlands from, in many cases, almost monocultures. \"For example, a lot of the beech on the Downs were felled (in the storm) and were succeeded by birch and other pioneer species,\" he explained. So there has been a break-up of some of the monoculture and clonal vegetation patches underneath the trees.\" Dr Buckley said that the impact of the storm also offered an insight into how woodlands were vulnerable to extreme weather. \"It did show that plantations did not stand up particularly well to these types of storms because you have lots of trees crammed together, with small root systems and they grow tall,\" he told BBC News. \"Whereas in the old traditional approach of coppicing, you could argue that the trees are kept short so they do not offer so much wind resistance. \"In fact, the big standard trees in the old coppicing-with-standards system grew up more or less exposed, so developed wind firmness over time. \"What the storm showed was that trees which had probably reached their full height but were still young and not securely anchored blew over very easily. \"Those that had been in situ for a very long time had had time to spread their roots, or trees on the edge of plantations that did not have so much competition on the outside of the stand, these stood up and did pretty well.\" Dr Buckley estimated that about half of the trees lost during the 1987 Great Storm were young plantation trees. The National Trust, one of the UK's largest landowners, lost hundreds of thousands of trees on its properties in the storm. While fallen trees caused an acute problem for the Trust in formal landscapes, the loss of so many trees did allow its experts to review how to manage its woodlands. \"One of the legacies we have learned from the Great Storm is that woodlands look after themselves pretty well,\" explained head of forestry Ray Hawes. \"Just after the storm, one of my colleagues went over a lot of our parks and gardens and took a lot of aerial shots in order to get an idea of tree and woodland damage. \"For the 20th anniversary of the storm, we redid it. Some of the areas that had not been replanted were basically back to woodlands - they regenerated naturally. \"Whereas if you try planting trees into these systems at an early stage, then you end up with a huge maintenance job to look after the trees you planted, because they are being swamped by the natural regeneration trees, which tend to be more vigorous. \"This is because they come out of the ground straight from seed; they have not had the shock of being taken from a nursery and planted in the ground. \"So now, we would leave a lot of woodlands to see what happens naturally,\" Mr Hawes told BBC News.",

And now, in the spoken word too. Search is Google's raison d'etre and cash cow, bringing in a bulk of its $50bn (£33bn) revenues last year. It is also, says Mr Gomes, \"about having a continuous conversation with the user to find out what he wants\". For a change, we are having a conversation with Mr Gomes, the boy-like 45-year-old guru of search in Googleplex, the funky low-slung company headquarters set in the manicured greens of Mountain View, California. Mr Gomes works out of an untidy cubicle with four other top engineers in Building 43, the Mecca of search. There are papers strewn around, a headphone lies idly on his table and numbers are scribbled on a whiteboard. Wrapped around the thin walls near his standing workstation are posters of Russian abstract artist Wassily Kandinsky's work. From his modest lair, Mr Gomes and his team work relentlessly on their fine-tooth comb search of the worldwide web to serve up the popular search engine, which is now a part of our everyday lives. \"When I joined Google in 1999, search was about basically finding the words that you search for in a document. Then we took this view that we were going to understand what you want and give you what you need,\" he says. Today, crawling through more than 20 billion pages a day on the continuously expanding world wide web, Mr Gomes and his army of search - a substantial number of the company's 44,000 employees - use algorithms in an attempt to make search intuitive, multimedia and super smart. The \"maths that computers use to decide stuff\" - as algorithm expert Kevin Slavin called it once - helps rank pages in order of their importance, identifies spelling errors, provides alternatives to words, predicting auto-complete queries, and does unified searches using images, audio and video and voice. They also try to delve into the deeper meaning of words searched for - \"less 'searchese' and more natural language\", as one employee tells me - and recognises words with similar meanings. And then, with a hint of understated pride, Mr Gomes talks animatedly about Knowledge Graph, a new function launched last year to make the site's algorithms \"act more human\" in an attempt to offer instant answers to search questions. Time magazine called it the \"next frontier for search\". \"It's a database of all things in the world. It pulls together different databases and unifies them into a single coherent one that has about 500 to 600 million people, places and things in them and about 18 billion attributes and connections between those things,\" he says. But some sceptics like independent technology columnist Mala Bhargava believe there are some pitfalls. \"Google does a great job of evolving search continuously, slipping in new features all the time. But innovation always walks a tightrope between being useful, even prescient, and being so excessively personalised and targeted as to be meaningless,\" she says. But folks at Google believe the fact that it handles a mind-boggling 100-billion plus searches every month, or over three billion a day is testimony to its popularity. A good 15% of the search questions it sees every day are new - queries it has never answered before. Then there's the giddy speed of search. When Mr Gomes joined Google in 1999 after a stint in Sun Microsystems working on Java programming language, some searches could take up to 20 seconds. When I keyed in Ben Gomes on Google recently it spat out 19,000,000 results in .28 seconds. (Most of the top ranked results were about the search guru himself.) Chemical interest What the search on Mr Gomes possibly will not tell you is that as a young boy growing up in Bangalore, he was more fascinated with chemistry than computers in the beginning. So much so, he recounts, that one day he picked up some sulphuric acid from a city shop, and walked into his school, \"swinging the bottle in my hand, so happy\". But then he went to a school with classmates like Krishna Bharat, a computer fiend who later become the man behind Google news, and which counted Sabeer Bhatia, founder of Hotmail, among its students. So when his brother bought him a small microcomputer in 1983, young Ben joined a small bunch of people interested in machines in what then still was a technophobic country. Mr Gomes, son of a car distributor father and a school teacher mother, moved to the US 25 years ago. He went to Berkeley, where he picked up a PhD in computer science. And then the internet happened. It was about that time his classmate Krishna Bharat told Mr Gomes about Google, and he joined this relatively unknown company \"because it would make this content available to the world through a really good search\". The rest is search history. Presidential search What is the next frontier of search, I ask Mr Gomes, before heading for a meal at the Indian curry station at Googleplex. \"Now search is becoming mobile - on phones and tablets. The challenge is that it is on a small screen, so it's hard to type. The opportunity is that it's got a really good microphone and a touch screen. \"It can enable a new kind of interface. So we realised we want to build an interface that was much like the way you talk to some person and ask a question,\" he says. And then, with a gleam in his eyes, Mr Gomes picks up his HTC smartphone and barks a series of questions into the Google search app. \"Who is the president of India?\" he asks. \"Pranab Mukherjee,\" promptly answers a woman's voice. \"How old is he?\" Mr Gomes prods on. \"He is 77 years old,\" she answers, loud and clear. \"This is cool isn't it?\" says Mr Gomes. \"And it's going to get better and more intelligent.\"",

Colin McIntyre, now 44, allegedly \"confessed\" to being at the scene when she was stripped and strangled. Another man, John Docherty, 49, denies killing Elaine. Mr Langford-Johnston denied that Mr McIntyre, then 16-years-old, was bullied or that he and his colleague had made up the contested statement. The trial heard that in spite of Mr McIntyre's account of standing by while Elaine, 16, died at the hands of another youth, none of the \"gang\" was charged. 'A disgrace' An alibi, which Mr McIntyre had given earlier, checked out but he was not charged with wasting police time. Questions about what had happened to the string supposedly used to strangle Elaine and another weapon were not asked. After Mr Langford-Johnston's long session in the witness box, defence QC Donald Findlay suggested the investigation was a disgrace. The lawyer said: \"From what we have seen in this, I suggest this inquiry - in this area alone - never mind whatever else the ladies and gentlemen of the jury have heard was shambolic, disgraceful, at least.\" \"I would like to think I could have done a lot better,\" the former detective told him. Mr Findlay pressed: \"Why on earth, 28 years down the road, should the ladies and gentlemen of the jury put any faith in that police inquiry?\" Mr Langford-Johnston replied: \"That I cannot answer.\" Mr Docherty, now of Dunoon, denies murder and claims that at the time he is alleged to have strangled Elaine, he was with his parents - who are no longer alive - at their home. He further denies a charge of attacking another woman, Linda Hargie, on various occasions between 1990 and 1995 at an address in Anne Street, Greenock by seizing her and pushing her and punching her on the head.

Kate Rawles, sustainability and environmental and ecological awareness lecturer at the University of Cumbria Recently, members of the public were asked what biodiversity is. The most common answer was \"some kind of washing powder\". Modern societies are dangerously close to completely losing touch with the value of other living things and our place in natural systems. If we are to arrest and reverse the rates of species extinction, the challenges are philosophical as much as they are political or economic and three major shifts in understanding are needed: First, we need to tackle our sense of disconnection from the living world. We have lost sight of the fact that we are still earthbound animals living in ecosystems. It is this disconnect that has allowed us to systematically degrade and destroy our own habitats without realising that just might be a problem for us. Second, we need to understand our dependence on other forms of life. We like to think that we are the most important species on the planet but we need other species a lot more than they need us. Losing biodiversity is not just about the tragic demise of the polar bear, it is undermining our ability to meet basic needs. Third, and perhaps most importantly, other living things - from blue tits to basking sharks - are not just resources. We need other species but this is not the only reason why wiping them out matters. This is to take an incredibly arrogant, and scientifically uninformed, view of life and its value - the ethical equivalent of thinking the sun revolves around the earth. There is overwhelming evidence that having the chance to play outdoors in relatively natural surroundings as a child is the biggest factor in developing a concern for the environment as an adult. How we reconnect adults is more challenging. Recognising the intrinsic value of other species in law so humans are put on a level playing field with other species would be a very good beginning. It is a measure of the disconnect between humankind and the natural world that anyone could decide whether humans should be given priority over nature. Without a fully-functioning, resilient natural world, we are nothing. The principal reason we have put aside that natural wisdom is our obsession with economic growth. Growth drives everything and we simply ignore its mounting costs. And the more of us human beings there are - 6.8bn today, 9bn predicted by 2050 - the higher those costs rise. How much more incontrovertible scientific evidence do we need to understand that we have to change course now - not some distant point in the future - if we are to secure the foundations for our societies? Here is the bottom line: if economic progress over the next two decades is based on the same war of attrition against nature that has characterised economic progress since the Industrial Revolution, then apocalypse truly looms. And that means growth of a different kind - working within nature's limits not against them, ramping up the scale of biodiversity reserves on land and \"no take zones\" at sea to help restore our chronically depleted fisheries. A proper price should be put on services that nature provides for us - climate regulation, flood control, building fertility in the soil and prioritising efforts to protect endangered species and habitats. But that does not mean the end of economic progress. The money required to do these things is a few billion dollars a year - a fraction of the rescue package put together recently to bail out the world's banks. Scientists have identified biodiversity hotspots around the world that need the most urgent protection. But each country also has to look in its own backyard. In the UK, much of the diverse flora and fauna is still at risk through intensive farming, new developments, inadequately funded protection schemes and so on. If this government really wants to be \"the greenest government ever\", this should be priority number one. Mammal, bird, reptile, amphibian and fish populations have declined by 30% over the past four decades. Current extinction rates are about 1,000 times higher then the average in the fossil record and, by 2020, at least 25% of the species on this planet are set to be lost. We are threatening entire ecosystems we depend on for our very survival. We still plunder forests and oceans with little understanding of what impact this will have on their ability to regulate our climate, provide oxygen or generate food. The global human population was 3bn in 1960 and will be roughly 9bn by 2050. The global GDP was roughly £10tn in 1960 and estimated to be £100tn in 2050. Put simply, we are not leaving much room or habitat for the 6-30 million species we share the planet with. And there is the challenge of global warming. Increased levels of CO2 result in oceans becoming more acidic, the temperature warmer and weather much less predictable. This combination of increasing pressure on the Earth while reducing its ability to provide sets up the greatest challenge humanity has ever faced. So far, the conservation and scientific communities have not effectively made the case that biodiversity is something everyone should care about. Arguments must be strengthened on why it is important. We will only be successful at conserving biodiversity if it is truly valued. Conservationists have been effective at addressing environmental issues such as cleaning up the Thames or stopping acid rain but threats to biodiversity are growing exponentially and they simply do not have the capacity to respond. If we are to make progress, the concept of environmental sustainability must be put in the mainstream and result in solutions to growing challenges coming from all sectors of society. Politicians will only take a real interest in biodiversity when it is a priority for the majority of people. We need people to vote for politicians willing to talk about family planning and how we can prosper in a zero growth economy. In many ways, the last 10,000 years have seen us act as if nature is having a clearance sale, at rock bottom prices. The reality now is that the sale must end soon, before we are out of stock. Economic studies show we may be losing natural asset values each year equivalent to the combined GDP of India, Russia and Brazil. While the private sector is often seen as part of the problem, business actually has a vested interest and a role to play in maintaining healthy, functioning ecosystems. Already 50% of CEOs in Africa and Asia say they are concerned about biodiversity loss threatening their business growth. But without real incentive, current responses to climate change demonstrate that human behaviours may not change at the speed needed to reduce the threat to biodiversity and ecosystems. The evidence is clear- NGOs and governments cannot deal with the scale of the problem alone. If companies are clear on what societal goods they need to deliver - food, carbon sinks, freshwater, biodiversity - they will adapt and do it at scale. Treating natural habitats as valuable long term assets means making far better use of existing land and creating an economic model which rewards farmers, companies and communities for protecting nature. New global institutions, intelligent regulation and pragmatic approaches to conservation will help us balance human development and the maintenance of life support systems. With regulatory certainty, flexibility and incentives, the private sector can deliver. In the 1990s, the US laid down regulation to stop the loss of wetland habitat, but gave business flexibility in how it met that. There is now a $3bn industry in restoring native vegetation and endangered species habitat for profit - if losses are unavoidable in one state then wetland is restored elsewhere. We need to think differently about the role of business: giving nature a value will allow markets to evolve to protect it.

The Special Tiger Protection Force has received training in jungle survival and weapons use. Tiger numbers have shrunk alarmingly in recent decades. A census last year counted about 1,700 tigers in the wild. A century ago there were estimated to be 100,000 tigers in India. Numbers up \"The force is operational,\" Karnataka conservation official BK Singh told the BBC. \"They will deal with poachers and hunters.\" The Special Tiger Protection Force was formed by the forest and environment ministry on the recommendation of the National Tiger Conservation Authority and Karnataka authorities. With their special training course completed, the unit has moved into Bandipur and Nagarahole national parks, south of Bangalore. The forested region has the highest number of tigers in India, according to a census released in March 2011 by the forest and environment ministry. Karnataka state, which has six tiger reserves, has about 300 tigers, followed by Madhya Pradesh in the north with 257. The census indicated that tiger numbers had increased to 1,706 from 1,411 at the last count in 2007. Officials say conservation efforts by the government and wildlife organisations have helped tiger and elephant populations increase. But poaching remains a threat, with some 25 tigers killed in Karnataka alone since 2006. A second tiger force will be set up in the eastern state of Orissa. Senior National Tiger Conservation Authority official Rajesh Gopal said 13 tiger reserves in seven states across the country had been identified for special measures to protect the big cats.

No ifs, ands or buts about it.” Late on Wednesday, the firm started briefing journalists on the move, pushing its view that the HKmap.live was being “used in ways that endanger law enforcement and residents”. On Thursday morning, Apple chief executive Tim Cook posted an internal memo. “It’s out of my great respect for the work you do every day that I want to share the way we went about making this decision,” he wrote. “Over the past several days we received credible information, from the Hong Kong Cybersecurity and Technology Crime Bureau, as well as from users in Hong Kong, that the app was being used maliciously to target individual officers for violence and to victimize individuals and property where no police are present. This use put the app in violation of Hong Kong law. “Similarly, widespread abuse clearly violates our App Store guidelines barring personal harm.” Long-time Apple commentator John Gruber wrote of Mr Cook’s email: “I can’t recall an Apple memo or statement that crumbles so quickly under scrutiny.” ‘Innocent passers-by’ Apple has yet to provide any additional information about those claimed incidents. Charles Mok, a Hong Kong legislator who represents the IT industry in the territory, posted a letter to Mr Cook on Twitter. “There are numerous cases of innocent passers-by in the neighbourhood injured by the Kong Kong Police Force’s excessive force in crowd dispersal operations,” he wrote. “The user-generated information shared using HKmap.live in fact helps citizens avoid areas where pedestrians not involved in any criminal activities might be subjected to police brutality which many human rights organisations such as Amnesty International have observed.” Mr Mok went on to argue that users on major social networks, such as Facebook or Twitter, also share information about police activity - but were not being held to the same standard. “We Hongkongers will definitely look closely at whether Apple chooses to uphold its commitment to free expression and other basic human rights, or become an accomplice for Chinese censorship and oppression.” Apple has not responded to the letter. Censored South Park Apple’s decision comes against a backdrop of major American firms being seen as bowing to political pressure from Beijing. In just the past week, the NBA grovelled its way around a tweet from a team executive supporting the protests, while video games published Activision Blizzard banned e-sports competitor Ng Wai \"Blitzchung\" Chung for showing his support for the movement. And Google removed a role-playing game called “Revolution of Our Times” from its app store after deeming it violated its policies on depicting “sensitive events” (the player plays the role of a Hong Kong protester). According to the Wall Street Journal, Hong Kong authorities had contacted Google with concerns about that app - though the company has said it decided to take action before any communication took place. One bucking of the trend, however, came via Tim Sweeney, chief executive of Epic Games, the firm behind online multiplayer game Fortnite. “Epic supports everyone’s right to speak freely,” he wrote on Twitter, in response to a question about gamers voicing support for Hong Kong protesters. Chinese tech giant Tencent owns 40% of the firm. “China players of Fortnite are free to criticize the US or criticize Epic just as equally as all others,” Mr Sweeney said. In characteristically astute timing, an episode of Comedy Central’s South Park earlier this month led Chinese censors to “delete virtually every clip, episode and online discussion of the show from Chinese streaming services, social media and even fan pages”, according to the Hollywood Reporter. The episode featured four of the show’s main characters working on a film script that gets constantly altered so that it could be distributed in China. “Well you know what they say,” the film’s director in the show says, “You gotta lower your ideals of freedom if you wanna suck on the warm teat of China.” Exerting power In Apple’s case that means revenues that are on course to exceed $40bn this year - almost a fifth of the firm’s total global sales. Apple’s reliance on Chinese manufacturing means the relationship goes far deeper than just local sales. The firm has 10,000 direct employees in the firm; the economy around Apple’s presence in China is responsible for around 5m jobs. What happens next depends on the extent to which China feels its hardline stance is working - and there are indications officials are becoming wary. According to reporting in the New York Times, Beijing is concerned its actions are drawing more attention to the protests and harming the country’s standing on the global stage, adding yet more tension to relations with the US as trade talks restart in Washington. The rows have also bolstered concerns that China has few qualms when it comes to making demands of companies both based in the Communist state, as well as those who merely want to do business there. “What would Huawei do if they were the dominant 5G provider for a country, and that country’s leaders said the wrong thing?” speculated Elliott Zaagman, who covers Chinese business and investment, _____ Follow Dave Lee on Twitter @DaveLeeBBC Do you have more information about this or any other technology story?

An aviation expert has told the BBC the fatal flight from France, which was heading to Cardiff, should not have taken off. Cardiff City said the crash was an \"abject tragedy\" and they were doing all they could for Emiliano's family. Horacio Sala died not knowing why his son perished on a winter's night over the English Channel. The same questions still haunt the rest of the Sala family. Four months on from the tragic events of 21 January, the footballer's relatives and friends are still struggling to understand why the striker, who had just become Cardiff City's record signing, ended up being flown across the English Channel in tricky conditions by a pilot, David Ibbotson, who may not have been the right man for the job. They also want someone to be held accountable for his death. After an extensive search the plane was located on the sea bed and Sala's body was identified. Mr Ibbotson has never been found. BBC Wales Investigates travelled to Argentina to speak to Sala's parents and close friends to find out more about the man who died within 48 hours of the biggest transfer of his career from FC Nantes. There is an ongoing legal battle to establish whether he was officially a Cardiff City player. The Welsh club said the transfer was not at a stage where it was legally binding and Fifa is now investigating. In Sala's small home town of Progreso, people are more concerned about the events leading up to his death. Horacio Sala said all the parties involved, including Cardiff City and Sala's representatives, should have done more to look out for his son's welfare. \"I always expected to find him alive, but when the news said the plane was in the sea, it became impossible,\" he said. \"Why was it so hard for them to find something safe? Why couldn't they? \"They left him alone, they left him alone like a dog. They abandoned him.\" Sala's mother Mercedes Taffarel said she found it hard to let her son leave home as a teenager to pursue his dream of being a footballer, but she was immensely proud of him. She has a picture of them together the last time she saw her son, just after he had finished a match. \"It still hurts so much,\" she said. \"I think he's going to call me on the phone, but no. It's terrible, a pain that I can't explain. \"He had succeeded in becoming the footballer he always wanted to be. He could have done so much but, well, God took him,\" Alastair Rosenchein is an experienced former pilot with 15,000 hours of flying time. Having studied the conditions at the time and the pilot's experience, he said the plane should not have taken off. \"There are a number of things that concern me,\" said Mr Rosenchein. \"It was a single-engine flight over a long stretch of water, in winter at night in icing conditions with a strong likelihood of entering cloud and a cold front coming through. \"One of the hardest decisions a pilot takes is making the decision not to go, and that is the decision he should have made. \"Without question I think most pilots would have not done that flight.\" Since the crash, serious questions have been asked about Mr Ibbotson's experience. He was not qualified to fly at night, and was thought to have been colour blind. He did not have a \"night rating\" on his UK private pilot's licence. The proposed flight plan from Nantes to south Wales was under a term called Visual Flight Rules - meaning Mr Ibbotson needed to be able to see where he was going. \"The speed at which a pilot can become disorientated if he's not instrument flying is very, very quick indeed,\" said Mr Rosenchein. \"The closest analogy to that is if you have a clear area of ground in front of you and you decide to walk with your eyes closed. \"After three or four steps you begin to get disorientated and you will find after 10 or 15 steps you will not be going in the direction you thought you were.\" Who chose the pilot? Many people were involved in negotiating the transfer, but it is less clear who was responsible for Sala's final journey. Cardiff City said they offered him a seat on a commercial flight but instead a private plane was hired for him by former football agent Willie McKay. Neither Mr McKay or his son Mark, who was acting for Nantes in the transfer, wanted to be interviewed by BBC Wales Investigates but they have always said they did not select the plane or pilot. For their part, Cardiff City said they had \"grave concerns\" about the choice of Mr Ibbotson to fly the plane. Willie McKay was involved in the early stages of the transfer. An e-mail sent by him to Sala admitted placing a story in a newspaper to generate more interest in the player. Mr McKay is no longer a football agent but admits helping his son Mark in the negotiations over Sala's move to Cardiff City. Cardiff City: Deal was not done Cardiff City told BBC Wales Investigates that for them there is no doubt that Sala's transfer from Nantes was not completed, but they are doing their best to support his grieving family. A club statement said: \"This season has been one of abject tragedy for everyone who knew Emiliano Sala. In this unprecedented situation, Cardiff City conducted a review to establish the facts. The status of the agreement between the two clubs is clear: the transfer between FC Nantes and Cardiff City was not completed. Legally, there is no grey area. \"The transfer agreement was subject to terms and conditions and stipulated that if any were not satisfied the contract would be deemed \"null and void''. Several of the required terms and conditions were not satisfied. In addition, material negotiations were ongoing with Emiliano's agent. \"We were very excited about Emiliano preparing to join Cardiff. Tragically, his life was cut short before that could take place. \"Cardiff City has been working with the appropriate parties to ensure that the Sala family is taken care of - as a matter of principle. And we would encourage others involved to do the same.\" FC Nantes said: \"FC Nantes understands perfectly the pain of Emiliano Sala's family and the misunderstandings that may result. \"The club, like all of its players, was committed to supporting Emiliano Sala from his signing in Nantes in 2015 until his signing with Cardiff.\" Demands for justice It is clear Emiliano Sala's legacy will live on in his hometown. The club he played for as a child, St Martin, are naming their ground after him. The club's teams now play in commemorative shirts bearing his picture. Horatio Sala died not having come to terms with his loss. Two weeks before he died he admitted to the BBC that he had taken little comfort from his son's funeral. \"There was no consolation, there was nothing,\" he said. \"These are things you can never forget. Nothing matters anymore.\" Martin Molteni was Sala's closest friend at school. Like all the footballer's friends and family, he says he was proud to see him succeed in Europe. But he also wants answers, and someone to be held accountable for the crash. \"It was a really big thing for us that our friend, someone who lived with us, who played football with us, who went to school with us, went to play at a big club in France. \"Clearly there was carelessness, clearly there was negligence. Whose? Justice will determine it,\" he added. \"That person has to pay.\" Emiliano Sala: The family's search for truth is on BBC One Wales 20:30 BST, 20 May and on the BBC iPlayer",

            "input": "By Iolo ap DafyddBBC Wales environment correspondent One of the likeliest impacts of climate change in Wales is coastal erosion and an increased risk of flooding. With over 1,300 miles (2,000km) of coastline, any sea level rise this century could be serious - especially during the type of stormy weather we've experienced in the last week. Last year the Welsh government agreed to approve Shoreline Management Plans (SMPs). These are long term assessments of risks associated with coastal eroding and flooding. Haydn Thomas and his family bought their new home on Beach Road in Newton, near Porthcawl almost three years ago. After renovations they moved in last year, and say they had no idea about the potential threat from the sea. But after 20 years, the sea wall near the homes will not be maintained under the shoreline plan. Mr Thomas and other residents are frustrated at how the plan has been set out - and the complex number of organisations and authorities behind it. \"We don't understand the policy and there's confusion as to why it's triggered by time rather than if sea levels actually do rise,\" he said. \"We want to live here because of the sea, not because we're worried about it. We thought it was going to be a dream house next to the sea. \"It's not saleability now but it's the inheritance - we have two young children.\" Up to 40 local properties could be affected and Mr Thomas said there was \"massive concern\" among residents. Six graphics that explain climate change Newton is one of 48 locations listed as being affected or threatened by flooding or coastal erosion across the four SMPs covering Wales. The non-statutory documents have been produced because of the perceived threat from climate change along some of Wales' coastline. Prof Tavi Murray, chair of glaciology in Swansea University's geography department, said the sea level rise - best predicted as being somewhere between a half and one metre in the rest of this century - would have the key impact in Wales. Extreme weather was likely to become more frequent, she said. \"There may also be more intense wave action during those storms. We are seeing it now and will continue to see it during the rest of this century.\" Prof Murray said emissions from industry and transport were the main issue. \"It's the way we live our lives and I do wonder what our grandchildren are going to be thinking about that - and the changes they will have to make.\" Ten years ago the National Trust (NT) was the first organisation to talk openly of adopting a different approach to engineering. Instead of building seawalls, there would be a retreat from the sea. Phil Dyke, the NT coast and marine officer for Wales, England and Northern Ireland, said: \"What we don't want to see is a future when we sleepwalk into a concrete coast around Wales.\" He said it was about rolling back infrastructure like railway lines and major roads away from at risk areas. There is a project starting in Newgale in Pembrokeshire to realign the A487, hit by severe storms nearly two years ago. \"Let's not put new buildings in places we know that are vulnerable in the future so we're not storing up problems,\" said Mr Dyke. \"It's not building on flood plains and thinking about where we put key bits of infrastructure.\" 'Burning question' Fairbourne in Gwynedd has more than 500 homes at risk of coastal flooding. Gwynedd Council is committed to defending the houses for 40 years, but is beginning to talk publicly of \"de-commissioning\" the village should the sea rise with climate change. There are flooding threats from three sources in Fairbourne - sea, river and groundwater. Lisa Marshall, works with the council on the Fairbourne Moving Forward project. She said grasping what could happen in the future was the biggest challenge. \"The burning question on everyone's lips is how much is my house worth - I've had it valued and it's not worth anywhere near as I anticipated it being worth.\" She said there were difficult messages and hard truths to tell people. \"There are some questions we can't answer and we may not be able to answer them satisfactorily for many years to come but on the whole the residents are grateful for us being honest with them.\" Three months ago, 14 devices were installed to measure water levels underground in Fairbourne every 15 minutes. The first readings are currently being analysed, in the type of research that could be useful elsewhere too.",

A number of animals have also been stolen from farms. Police believe the meat could be going into the illegal food chain and are urging rural communities to be vigilant. Farmer John Clarke, from Manor Farm in Harborough Magna, near Rugby, has lost 61 sheep in the past month in three separate incidents of theft and butchery. The remains of 24 of his lambs were discovered butchered in a field near the M6 motorway in April and in March, he found 19 of his animals slaughtered. He has also had 18 stolen over two consecutive nights. He said: \"There'll be a lot of blood about, a lot of legs left lying about, anything that you can't eat is just left behind in a big heap. \"We go from being upset now to being a bit angry.

The remains were later found in a bin in Coventry. She said: \"Our next door neighbour, he's had sheep go missing and found guts and things in the field. We've found pools of blood, gates off hinges that they've used to round them up.\" Warwickshire Police, now working with forces across the Midlands, is urging rural communities to be vigilant. Insp Allison Wiggin, Warwickshire rural crime officer, said police believe the meat is going in to the illegal food chain. \"It seems to be on a semi-professional level that the carcasses have been stripped of their meat\", she said. Farmers are being advised to take steps to prevent theft, which include checking sheep overnight and parking vehicles to block access. Julian Douthwaite, chairman of NFU Warwickshire, said people should be wary if they are offered meat of unknown origin. He said: \"Putting it in to the food chain is a worrying aspect as well because there's no control over the hygiene and the fact of whether that meat is fit for human consumption.\" Warwickshire Police said a man was arrested on 16 April on suspicion of animal cruelty and other offences after finding a dead sheep in his car.

Officers were sent and a breath test was negative. PC Carter then made a further two 999 calls about her. He resigned on 5 April. The panel said he wasted police time and would have been dismissed. 'A bit slurry' The panel was told Mr Carter had been a PC for just two months, based in the Chilterns and south Buckinghamshire, when he made the allegations. He and the female officer were off-duty and were in the pub on 20 October with separate groups of people, when she left. Minutes later, he went outside and told a 999 operator \"a known drink driver\" - which he knew was untrue - was about to leave a pub. He described her \"quite intoxicated\" and \"a bit slurry\", and claimed she had told one of her concerned friends \"I've only had four, I'll be fine\". The panel heard this was all a fabrication, and he also lied when he told the operator he did not know her name. A breath test carried out at the woman's home gave a reading of 12mcgs in per 100ml of breath, \"significantly below\" the limit of 35mcgs. The false allegation caused her stress and upset and wasted police resources, the panel said. 'Malice in my actions' Later that night, Mr Carter reviewed the report of the incident on a police computer, without legitimate purpose. He then called 999 twice, claiming he had just found out she was a police officer, and asked to have his phone number removed from the report. The panel said this further wasted police time in an attempt to conceal his connection to the incident. It added he failed to treat his colleagues with respect and courtesy, and breached standards of professional behaviour. Mr Carter, who did not attend the hearing, had admitted the allegations, apologised and conceded \"there must have been an element of malice in my actions\", the panel heard. \"There was nothing that could begin to explain, still less justify his behaviour,\" the panel stated.

The Alchikh family came to Wales as part of the Home Office's community sponsorship scheme after local group Croeso Teifi raised thousands of pounds to take part.

The courts had failed to act earlier because they accepted statements the girl gave saying she was 18 and had married of her own free will. But pressure from campaign groups and a public outcry prompted action. Leaders from the Catholic Church in Pakistan and human rights groups demanded that the court ruling be reconsidered, arguing that the girl had been forced to give her statement after entering a child marriage. Protesters also took to the streets in the Pakistani city of Karachi. On Monday, the Sindh High Court ordered police to find the teenager. She was recovered later in the day and will remain in protective custody until a court hearing on 5 November. Her alleged abductor was arrested later the same night and is due to appear in court on Tuesday. The girl's family first reported her missing on 13 October. Two days later, according to Christian Organisation the Centre for Legal Aid, Assistance and Settlement (Claas), her father was informed that Mr Ali had produced a marriage certificate stating that she was 18 and had converted to Islam. The family claimed the identification papers were fake, but when the case went to court on 27 October the Sindh High Court granted custody to the girl's alleged abductor. The court also offered protection from the girl's family. The decision was condemned by human rights and religious groups. \"It is the responsibility of the state to... protect its citizens, especially minor girls,\" Joseph Arshad, a local archbishop, told news outlet Crux Now at the time. Father Saleh Diego, vicar general of the Archdiocese of Karachi, also addressed the issue of forced conversions, telling the Catholic News Agency that \"a 13-year-old cannot decide about her religion. She is an innocent girl... [she] still has a lot to learn about her own religion.\" In late October, the family's lawyer Jibran Nasir said the girl's parents had filed a harassment petition on her behalf. Sindh High Court initially dismissed this application, but later reversed the decision following protests.

Ms Kim's appearance comes shortly after her recent promotion to a powerful position in North Korea's government. Foreign luxury goods including make-up have become scarce in North Korea after several rounds of UN sanctions. Why did he visit a cosmetics factory? Over the years many countries have stopped importing luxury goods into North Korea as a result of sanctions. North Korea appears to have developed its own cosmetics industry, with reports of local \"high-end\" brands such as Bomhyanggi and Unhasu becoming popular with consumers. Though he is better known for his photo ops at military installations and missile test sites, Mr Kim's visit to a cosmetics factory serves an important propaganda purpose in telegraphing the legitimacy of Mr Kim's rule to the Pyongyang elite and middle-class. He has frequently been photographed at factories and other key sites of North Korea's civilian economy, while state media have claimed significant advances in the production of consumer goods such as 3D televisions and smartphones. The visit is \"to show that North Korea can look out for its own people, and provide prosperity on a level comparable to Beijing and Seoul,\" North Korean analyst Ankit Panda told the BBC. \"Even if we know it's not true, it's important for the regime to show its people that it can provide material pleasures.\" During his visit to the Pyongyang Cosmetics Factory, Mr Kim praised the company for producing \"world-level cosmetics\" and for upgrading its premises to a level \"to be proud of in the world\", reported North Korean state news agency KCNA. Why did Mr Kim bring along his wife and sister? Wearing a stylish black and white dress, Ms Ri is prominently featured in the photographs. Ms Kim meanwhile cannot be identified in the photographs, but the report by state news agency KCNA mentioned she was present along with other top officials. Little is known of Mr Kim's family and personal life, and family members rarely appear in public. Mr Kim's public appearances are also highly choreographed. Mr Panda told the BBC that it was significant that he chose to appear with his wife and sister this time. \"It emphasises the primacy of the family, that blood ties are important to him, that his children will succeed him,\" said Mr Panda. Given her recent promotion, Ms Kim's presence also \"signals that the Kim regime wants the world to see that she's in a more visible powerful position\". Earlier this month Mr Kim placed his sister in the country's top decision-making body, the Politburo. Was the visit's timing significant? Mr Kim's visit comes amid rising tension in the Korean peninsula over a series of North Korean missile and nuclear tests and escalating rhetoric between Mr Kim and US President Donald Trump - who is due to visit South Korea's capital Seoul in about a week's time. The North Korean leader's visit was broadcast on state media a day after US Defence Secretary James Mattis said the US would \"never accept\" a nuclear-armed North Korea. Mr Mattis, who was on a tour of Asia and was visiting Seoul on Saturday, reiterated the US stance that any use of nuclear weapons by North Korea would be met with a \"massive military response\".

The award is given to people from all walks of life who have made exceptional contributions to society. It was established by former President John F Kennedy in 1963. Dylan was born Robert Allen Zimmerman on 24 May 1941 and began his musical career in 1959, playing in Minnesota coffee houses. He took his stage name from the poet Dylan Thomas and, not coincidentally, paid as much attention to his lyrics as his music. Much of his best-known work dates from the 1960s, when he became an informal historian of America's troubles. Songs such as Blowin' In The Wind and The Times They Are a-Changin' became anthems of the anti-war and civil rights movements. His move away from traditional folk songwriting, paired with a controversial decision to \"go electric\", proved equally influential - his confessional, introspective lyrics were undoubtedly absorbed by The Beatles in their later work. He continues to record and tour, expanding his horizons with a US radio show and a recently signed six-book publishing deal. 'Beloved' Another luminary to be awarded the honour, Toni Morrison, is renowned for her portrayal of the African-American experience in novels such as Song Of Solomon, and Beloved, which won the Pulitzer Prize in 1988. Born Chloe Anthony Wofford in 1931 in Ohio, she went on to become a senior editor at publishers Random House before pursuing her writing career. Outside of novels, she has written literary criticism and even lyrics for operas, including Honey and Rue, with music by Andre Previn. Once asked by a student who she wrote for, Morrison replied: \"I want to write for people like me, which is to say black people, curious people, demanding people... \"People who can't be faked, people who don't need to be patronised, people who have very, very high criteria.\" The 13 people awarded the Medal of Freedom at Tuesday's ceremony in the East Room of the White House included: Previous honourees include Mother Teresa, Margaret Thatcher, Stephen Hawking, Walt Disney, Doris Day, Duke Ellington and Aretha Franklin.",

            "input": "By Robyn StewardGuest blogger Asperger's syndrome, sometimes known as an autistic spectrum disorder, is a lifelong disability which affects people in many different ways. While there are similarities with autism, people with Asperger's syndrome have fewer problems with speaking and don't usually have the associated learning disabilities. They sometimes call themselves aspies for short. In recognition of the fact that their brains are wired differently, people with autism and Asperger's say that they are \"neuro-untypical\". They call people who don't have either disability \"neurotypicals\", or NTs. And that's just for starters. Here are some more lesser-known or misunderstood aspects of Asperger's syndrome from those who know. Is it mainly a boy thing? Although Austrian paediatrician Hans Asperger thought it only affected boys when he first described the syndrome back in 1944, research since has found that there are likely to be a similar number of females on the spectrum. The National Autistic Society says that because of the male gender bias, girls are less likely to be identified with autism spectrum disorders, even when their symptoms are equally severe. Many girls are never referred for diagnosis and are missed from the statistics altogether. Asperger's affects females in a slightly different way. Girls will have special interests but instead of building up an incredible wealth of knowledge on subjects like trains or dinosaurs - like boys with Asperger's might - they tend to like the same things as neurotypical girls their age, albeit in a more focused way. For example, a young girl with Asperger's might make it her business to collect all of the outfits that Barbie has ever worn. Women and girls can find it easier to mask their difficulties, making the condition harder to recognise. It might only become obvious at around age 11, when the pressure to be the same as friends gets too much. Some girls with Asperger's will manage to keep their difficulties under wraps at school, but might have \"meltdowns\" at home, where they feel safe to relax and release the feelings that they have been squashing down all day. What is a meltdown? A meltdown is where a person with autism or Asperger's temporarily loses control because of emotional responses to environmental factors. They aren't usually caused by one specific thing. Triggers build up until the person becomes so overwhelmed that they can't take in any more information. It has been described as feeling like a can of cola that has been shaken up, opened and poured out, emotions flowing everywhere. They can look like a common or garden tantrum, but unlike tantrums, meltdowns can't be stopped by giving the person their own way. Dependent on the cause of meltdown, it may be best to help the person leave the situation they find distressing. Everyone is different but some say that what they need to recover from a meltdown is being left alone in a place where they feel safe, listening to music, having a bath or sleeping. After a meltdown the person often feels ashamed, embarrassed, and very tired. Is everyone diagnosed with AS a genius? There are people with Asperger's who have a high IQ and others who don't. A person on the spectrum could be better at maths than a neurotypical but some even have dyscalculia, a specific difficulty with numbers. The amazing abilities that some people like Raymond from the film Rain Man have with maths and dates are because of savant syndrome - a separate condition from Asperger's. Some people on the spectrum may have it, but not all. It is not unusual for someone on the autism spectrum to have a co-occurring condition. These range from Coeliac disease and other digestive problems, to Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). There is no definitive answer to why this is the case. Do people with Asperger's have empathy? Contrary to popular belief, people with Asperger's do have empathy. They care about how others are thinking and feeling but they often have difficulty putting themselves in other people's shoes. This is a skill that can be learned over time. Trouble picking up how others are thinking or feeling via tone of voice or body language can make people with Asperger's appear less than empathetic when they don't mean to be. The autism community talks about the double bind empathy problem. This is where neurotypicals can seem less than empathetic - by failing to take into account how people with autism see the world. They might ignore the fact that autistic people have a tendency to take things literally, asking someone to take a seat rather than sit down. How do you say Asperger('s) syndrome? A hard or soft \"G\"? Like burger, or like merger? With or without an apostrophe before the final s? Does it officially exist? In March 2013, Asperger's syndrome was removed from the American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM). Instead, people with the same set of difficulties who are diagnosed using the DSM after that time are described as having an autism spectrum disorder. But people who were assessed before March 2013 keep their original diagnosis of Asperger's syndrome. The DSM is the mental health diagnostic bible for US doctors, but UK doctors tend to refer to the World Health Organisation's International Classification of Diseases (ICD) instead. No similar change has been made to this manual, and so UK doctors continue to diagnose Asperger's syndrome. The term is much used in the international autism community and is part of many people's identities. It is likely that many in the US will continue to say that they have Asperger's, despite the changes.

The defendant, who was held at secret US prison sites before being transferred to Guantanamo Bay in 2006, is the first prisoner from that facility to be tried in a civilian court. His case is being watched carefully for indications as how civilian trials might be handled for other so-called \"high-value detainees\", including alleged 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheik Mohammed. 'Coercive interrogation' In Mr Ghailani's case, the prosecution opted to forego the use of statements the defendant had made during questioning by the CIA at US \"black sites\" as well as in Guantanamo Bay. Defence lawyers argue his statements were made under duress, and as such are inadmissible. In choosing to proceed without this evidence, prosecutors can avoid debates over the use of coercive interrogation techniques. But the decision not to use these statements, which prosecutors say amount to a confession, means the government will not be using some of its most powerful evidence - including Mr Ghailani's admission that he had later worked as a driver for Osama Bin Laden and had met several of the 9/11 attackers. The identity of Hussein Abebe - from whom Judge Lewis Kaplan refused to allow testimony - was revealed during the course of these interrogations. Government prosecutors had argued that Mr Abebe, who claims to have sold Mr Ghailani the explosives used in the Tanzania bombing, was a willing witness who had been eager to testify. They also contend that Mr Abebe would have been found without Mr Ghailani's confessions. Judge Kaplan disagreed, arguing that the government had failed to prove that Mr Abebe's testimony would be sufficiently removed from Mr Ghailani's allegedly coerced statements - thus rendering his testimony unconstitutional. Weakened case The decision is not only a major blow to the government's case - prosecutors had called him a \"giant\" witness who could illustrate that Mr Ghailani was not the clueless participant in the bombings he claimed to be - but it may also have implications for how future cases based on information gleaned at Guantanamo are mounted. Other aspects of the trial may also set a precedent for the future terrorism cases in civilian courts. Judge Kaplan ruled in July that the length of Mr Ghailani's detention - more than six years - did not undermine his constitutional right to a swift trial. Other terror suspects have been held by the US without trial for even longer periods. And, although the judge made no ruling on Mr Ghailani's allegations of torture at the hands of US officials, he did rule that the allegations, regardless of their veracity, were not sufficient to justify dismissing the charges against him. The delay in prosecuting these terror cases has had additional evidentiary implications. For Mr Ghailani, several government witnesses have died since his capture, potentially weakening the government's case.",

The victims were residents in two long-term care facilities where Ms Wettlaufer worked and were between 75 and 96 years old. Police said seven of the victims were given a fatal dose of a drug. The victims were five women and three men and were all residents of Caressant Care in Woodstock and Meadow Park in London, Ontario. What we know about accused Canadian nurse \"The victims were administered a drug... there are obviously a number of drugs that are stored and are available in long-term care facilities,\" Woodstock Police Chief William Renton said at a news conference. The chief declined to comment on a possible motive, but did add that investigators are confident that they have identified all victims. Caressant spokesman Lee Griffi said the accused was a registered nurse and left their employment approximately two and a half years ago. \"We deeply regret the additional grief and stress this is imposing on the families involved,\" Mr Griffi said in a written statement. Woodstock is a car industry and agricultural town of some 37,000 people, about 128km (79 miles) west of Toronto. In the residential neighbourhood where the Caressant Care facility is located, few people were seen coming and going. Media were staked outside the property, across from a local school. In the hallway of the adjoining retirement residence, a television could be heard playing the news of Ms Wettlaufer's arrest. An employee at the facility, who was not authorised to speak on the record, told a reporter that it was a shame the actions of one person could colour a whole profession. Ms Wettlaufer was also an employee at Christian Horizons, the long-term care facility confirmed. A spokesperson for the organisation, which was not named in the police investigation, said she stopped working for them in 2007. \"Christian Horizons fully intends to cooperate with the authorities in their investigation in this matter,\" said chief executive Janet Noel-Annable in a statement. The daughter of one of the victims said she felt something was amiss when her father, Aprad Horwath, died at 75 in the Meadow Park facility. \"You don't want to believe any of this until you get to this stage when you're actually hearing it on the radio, and then you know that it's real, and even then it's hard to believe,\" Susan Horvath told AM980 radio in London, Ontario. \"I wanted to talk and just for my dad so that people know what happened to him instead of putting it down as, 'oh he had a stroke' or, 'oh, the old age'.\" Ms Wettlaufer says on her Facebook profile that she studied religious education at London Baptist Bible College before she went to nursing school at Conestoga College in Kitchener, Ontario. She lists Lifeguard Homecare as her current employer. A representative from Lifeguard Homecare has yet to respond to the BBC's calls. On the College of Nurses of Ontario website, Ms Wettlaufer's profile states that she became a registered nurse in August 1995 and then resigned on 30 September 2016. The profile also lists Parker as her former surname, and has recently been updated to note that she is facing murder charges and is remanded in custody. Ms Wettlaufer frequently posted pictures of herself on social media with her elderly parents, and described her passion for animals and the Harry Potter series. \"Father's day is a great reminder of how blessed I am to still have my Dad alive and able to spend time with me\", she wrote beneath a picture of her father. In another post, dated 28 September 2015, Ms Werrlaufer spoke about her difficulties overcoming alcoholism. \"My own voice called to me in the darkness. Others hands lifted me when I chose the light. One year ago today I woke up not dead. 365 days clean and sober,\" she wrote. The deaths took place between 2007 and 2014. Police have identified the victims as: Police revealed few details about the motive or circumstances surrounding the deaths, but said that the investigation into all eight deaths started on 29 September after police in Woodstock received certain information. The investigation was a joint effort between Woodstock Police Service, London Police Service and the Ontario Provincial Police. Police said they do not know if there are other victims, but that the nurse worked in other facilities. They are urging the public to come forward if they have any information. The criminal case is the largest in Ontario province since 2006, when five men were charged for murdering eight members of the Bandidos biker gang.

            "input": "By Andrew HoskenThe World Tonight BBC Radio 4 No sporting event or music concert would feel complete without the ticket tout. Buying low and selling high has always been the business model of the tout. But touting now is no longer the preserve of the Arthur Daleys or \"Del Boy\" Trotters familiar to music and sporting fans. The internet has helped to turn it into a business worth an estimated £1.4 billion a year. Tickets are now re-sold through a small number of giant websites that have come in for intense criticism. The companies running the sites have been accused of encouraging ticket touts and ripping off fans. American concern The BBC has learned that the New York Attorney General Office has criticised the business practices of at least two giant ticketing giants that operate in the UK, Stubhub and Ticketmaster. Stubhub says it gives fans a safe platform on which to exchange tickets and that 95% of its sellers are not touts, passing on only a handful of tickets each year. Some industry insiders and experts say that the so-called \"secondary ticketing\" business is jeopardising support for music and sports events and damaging the music and sports industries. Reg Walker, the operations director of the Iridium Consultancy, one of the country's leading experts on touts and ticketing irregularity, told the BBC that even the very cheapest seats were being harvested online. \"The problem is that there is a danger, particularly with sport, that we are pricing out a whole stratum of society,\" said Mr Walker. \"Those who are not particularly affluent from seeing sporting events, getting involved in sporting events, and that may well discourage people from becoming the sportsmen and the sportswomen of the future.\" 'Bots' Mr Walker said that as many as half the tickets allocated for major music and sports events could be acquired by touts and then re-sold through the main ticketing agencies at prices much higher than the face value. \"The majority of the people in the UK cannot afford these prices,\" he said. \"And they are being priced out by greedy individuals who frequently avoid paying tax and VAT - harvesting tickets and artificially upping the price. And that needs investigating.\" Last October, Business Secretary Sajid Javid commissioned a review of the consumer protection measures in place for online ticket sales. Chaired by Professor Michael Waterson, Professor of economics at the University of Warwick, the review team reports to the government this week. A separate inquiry into the major ticket re-sellers was conducted recently by the New York Attorney General's Office. That report said that illegal software called \"Bots\" was used by online touts not only to acquire tickets but also to prevent fans from buying them. Bots acquired an estimated 60 per cent for all available tickets this way for a number of important gigs, the report said. Ticket resale websites were criticised for not doing enough to deter touts. New laws ineffective? In early May, the Attorney General Erich T. Schneiderman wrote to secondary ticketers such as Stubhub and Ticketmaster suggesting that touts using their websites were probably in breach of consumer protection laws. The defence of secondary ticket companies has been their insistence that they do not trade in tickets but simply facilitate those people who wish to do so. The consumer rights campaigner Which? has also investigated the UK's ticket resale market. Pete Moorey, head of campaign for Which? said new laws introduced only last year were proving ineffective. The legislation set out clear rules for secondary tickets, saying that resold tickets had to show the face value of the ticket, the number of the seat and row, as well as any restrictions on that ticket. \"These pieces of information simply aren't being shown by the secondary ticketing sites, which raises concern about people out there buying tickets that either are not going to be what they think they're buying or actually turning up to an event and being turned away,\" said Mr Moorey. 'Prices can fall' A spokesperson for Stubhub, the ticket re-seller owned by eBay, said: \"At Stubhub, we offer ticketing choice so that fans can enjoy live events. \"We give fans access to tickets by providing a safe and secure platform for fans to exchange tickets. We do not set prices for the tickets listed on the website, as this is done through our sellers, 95% of which are consumers who only sell a handful of tickets per year.\" The spokesperson added that Stubhub acted as a distribution channel for event organisers to sell primary tickets at face value. \"Our experience in the UK has shown that ticket prices can actually come down,\" added the spokesperson. \"In fact, since we launched in the UK in 2012, the average ticket price has dropped nearly 25%.\" Ticketmaster said it was waiting for the Waterson review to be published before commenting further.",

It found that units in these areas were also more likely to be over capacity. Academics considered the links between deprivation and severe Covid using anonymous health records. Researchers from Glasgow and Edinburgh Universities also reviewed hospital data, to consider the impact of the pandemic on critical care units at all of Scotland's hospitals. They compared ICU admissions across Scotland between March and June 2020. Admissions were divided according to the Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation, which splits Scotland up into almost 7,000 areas by standards including income, employability and health and ranks the areas. Researchers found that of the 735 patients with Covid admitted to ICU, about a quarter were from the most deprived quintile compared with 13% from the least deprived quintile. After 30 days, death rates were \"significantly higher\", researchers said, in patients from the most deprived places in Scotland, after accounting for other factors such as age and sex. Hospitals in the most deprived health boards were also more likely to have higher peak in demand for intensive care beds, and to be operating over their normal capacity for longer. The study's lead researcher, Dr Nazir Lone of Edinburgh University, said a number of factors could be driving the link between poverty and severe disease. He added that poor housing, increased use of public transport and the financial pressure to continue working may be included.

He called for a \"full and frank public debate\" on internet surveillance. It comes as a parliamentary committee has quizzed the heads of the UK's spying agencies - GCHQ, MI5 and MI6 - together in public for the first time. Security weakened Sir Tim said the system of checks and balances to oversee GCHQ and its US counterpart the National Security Agency (NSA) had failed. Details about intelligence work carried out by the agencies and reported in the Guardian have been leaked by US whistle-blower Edward Snowden, a former NSA contractor. Sir Tim said the agencies had weakened online security by cracking the encryption employed by internet users to protect their data privacy. He also said it was a betrayal of the technology industry. \"Whistle-blowers, and responsible media outlets that work with them, play an important role in society,\" he said. \"We need powerful agencies to combat criminal activity online - but any powerful agency needs checks and balances and, based on recent revelations, it seems the current system of checks and balances has failed,\" he said. Sir Tim said media coverage of the Snowden leaks \"has been in the public interest and has uncovered many important issues which now need a full and frank public debate\". Meanwhile a group of Conservative MPs has urged the Guardian to take responsibility for the security implications of reporting the information and \"act accordingly\". In their letter, 28 Tory MPs said publishing the leaks in such detail \"runs the risk of compromising the vital work of the institutions, processes and people who protect the safety of this country\". They asked the newspaper's editor, Alan Rusbridger, to discuss with the intelligence services the implications for national security that publication would have, and be explicit about any information they have released that could threaten the safety of intelligence services personnel. 'Significant step' Highlighting security risks that might occur if information intended for journalists fell into the hands of terrorists or \"hostile foreign powers\", the MPs also urged the paper to be open with the government and security agencies about exactly what information it had shared, and with whom. \"We are asking you to do no more than to share with our intelligence services, the very people who protect the freedoms which the Guardian champions, that which you have already shared freely with international bloggers and journalists who have no concept of the UK national interest,\" they said. Parliament's Intelligence and Security Committee (ISC) has questioned GCHQ director Sir Iain Lobban, MI5 director general Andrew Parker and MI6 chief Sir John Sawers. Mr Parker took over as head of the security service MI5 earlier this year. MI6 is charged with gathering intelligence and GCHQ with monitoring communications. Intelligence chiefs have given evidence to the committee in private for many years. The session was shown on the BBC News Channel, with a short time delay to prevent anything that might endanger national security or the safety of those working for the agencies being broadcast. The ISC, made up of senior MPs and peers, said the committee meeting was \"a very significant step forward in terms of the openness and transparency of the agencies\".",

He has faced down numerous legal challenges over his work to produce drugs and agents to target anti-apartheid activists.

The state has been paying all his legal fees over the years as he was a government employee at the time he ran \"Project Coast\" in the 1980s. Thousands of people were killed during the fight against white-minority rule, which ended in 1994. Dr Basson, who has been working as a cardiologist in Cape Town since 2005, was due to lose his medical licence after the country's health council convicted him of professional misconduct in 2013. But in 2019 a judge ruled that two members of the disciplinary panel of the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA) had to recuse themselves because of bias - meaning the proceedings would have to start from scratch. Mediclinic Southern Africa was responding to a Twitter storm after Dr Basson was found listed on its website as working at Mediclinic Durbanville and Mediclinic Panoroma in Cape Town. \"By law doctors are independent practitioners and cannot be employed by Mediclinic Southern Africa. We cannot prohibit HPCSA registered doctors, including Dr Basson, from practising unless they are prevented by law from doing so,\" it responded on Twitter. What did he do during apartheid? Details of Project Coast emerged after the end of apartheid when it was revealed he was searching for a \"black bomb\" - a biological weapon that would only attack black people. Dr Basson is also alleged to have provided security forces with cyanide to help them commit suicide, \"weaponised\" thousands of 120mm mortar bombs with teargas, provided drugs that would disorientate prisoners and looked at ways of making black women infertile. He refused to apply for amnesty at the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC), set up to draw a line under the conflict waged during the era of white-minority rule.

She's not alone. Currently one third of the UK has patchy or non-existent mobile phone coverage. But on Friday, a £1bn plan between the UK's four main mobile phone companies and the government was unveiled with the aim of banishing these signal dead zones. The proposed deal - which includes EE, O2, Three and Vodafone - promises to get 4G coverage to 95% of the UK by 2025. The operators would invest in new and existing phone masts they would all share under the proposal, which the government hopes will be formalised early next year. It is estimated that an additional 280,000 homes and businesses and 16,000km of roads will have coverage. The four main mobile networks plan to contribute a total of £530m for the Shared Rural Network, with the government potentially supporting it with another £500m once the deal is finalised. The government had threatened to force the mobile firms to allow customers to roam onto each other's networks in not-spots, a move the companies said would deter new investment. 'Solve the problem' Digital Secretary Nicky Morgan said \"it is not yet a done deal and I want to see industry move quickly so we can reach a final agreement early next year.\" For people like Mrs Davies, lack of coverage is a huge inconvenience. She's lost online purchases, as it takes so long for confirmation texts to come through. She ended up upgrading her phone so she could receive calls over wi-fi at home: \"Rossett is only six miles from both Chester and Wrexham, yet we are lucky to even get 3G never mind 4G,\" she said. \"One day O2 (her provider) called trying to get me to upgrade, but the caller said reception was bad and they would call later.\" She contacted the company when it announced it was rolling out 5G: \"I am flabbergasted that they can do this when many people cannot even get 3G!\" This deal follows years of wrangling between the government and the mobile operators with each side aware that the stakes were high. It was under David Cameron's government that poor rural mobile coverage became a live issue - the Prime Minister was reportedly maddened by the lack of a mobile signal on his Cornish holidays, and residents and businesses in the countryside were understandably angry that poor connectivity was excluding them from the digital revolution. The government repeatedly threatened to bring in so-called national roaming, forcing operators to allow customers to connect to rival networks in places where they could not provide a signal. They hated this proposal, insisting it would bring investment to a halt - why would you build a new mast only to see it used by customers of a rival who'd failed to invest? But the threat has forced them to come up with a plan to invest £500m in a shared network which will see one mast hosting antennas from several operators. In return they've won two concessions- the government will hand over cash to reach the really remote areas and Ofcom will drop coverage requirements from the rules for the next 5G spectrum auction. Now though the final details of the deal have to be agreed - and rural residents may still have to wait some years before they can be confident of connecting wherever they are. Vodafone's chief technology officer, Scott Petty, told the BBC the plan has been 12 months in the making. \"As an industry we really believe this is the most effective way to get the UK from the bottom end of the coverage tables in Europe to the top end,\" he said. 'Unleash investment' Mark Bridgeman of the Country Land and Business Association said the news was is a big step forwards. \"We have been hugely frustrated at the lack of progress in improving mobile reception to date,\" he said. \"This announcement will be welcomed by everyone who lives or works in the countryside.\" Felicity Burch, director of digital and innovation at business lobby group the CBI, said the proposal would \"unleash investment and boost productivity\". \"This is another crucial step in making the UK match-fit for the digital revolution.\" Sian Davies says she's \"all for it, as long as the four companies can negotiate together and deliver what is promised.\" She is worried though that her area will miss out: \"I fear they may concentrate on more remote areas, and places such as Rossett which are relatively close to large urban areas, will be forgotten.\"",

Those with underlying pollution-related conditions have developed severe Covid-19 in countries with high levels. But medical professionals say it is too early to prove a direct relationship. \"We will be doing a map of most polluted cities based on our database to support national authorities in these regions so that they can prepare their epidemic response plan accordingly,\" Dr Neira said. A US study suggests Covid-19 death rates rise by about 15% in areas with even a small increase in fine-particle pollution levels in the years before the pandemic. \"Patterns in Covid-19 death rates generally mimic patterns in both high population density and high [particulate matter] PM2.5 exposure areas,\" the Harvard University report says. These particles, one-30th the diameter of a human hair, have previously been linked to health issues including respiratory infections and lung cancer. The Harvard study has not yet been peer reviewed but Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich chair of epidemiology Air pollution linked to raised Covid-19 death riskProf Annette Peters told BBC News its findings \"are in line with earlier reports on hospitalisation and mortality due to pneumonia\". \"It is one of the first studies substantiating our suspicion and the hypothesis that severity of the Covid-19 infection may be augmented by particulate matter air pollution,\" she said. Report author Prof Francesca Dominici said: \"We hope it will help stop the air quality from getting worse, particularly when we are hearing about authorities trying to relax pollution rules amid this pandemic.\" Another study, at the University of Siena, in Italy, and Arhus University, in Denmark, suggests a possible link between high levels of air pollution and Covid-19 deaths in northern Italy. The Lombardy and Emilia Romagna regions had death rates of about 12%, compared with 4.5% in the rest of Italy. The study, published in Science Direct, says: \"The high level of pollution in northern Italy should be considered an additional co-factor of the high level of lethality recorded in that area.\" Population, age, differing health systems, and a variation in prevention policies across regions should also be taken into account. Meanwhile, in the Philippines, Cesar Bugaoisan, of the Association for Respiratory Care Practitioners, said: \"In our preliminary data, almost all of the dead individuals in the country due to coronavirus had pre-existing conditions, most of them linked to air pollution.\" Air pollution already kills about seven million people every year, the WHO says. And more than 90% of the world's population live in places where air pollution exceeds its guideline limits, mostly in poor countries. Many of the affected countries are in South Asia, the Middle East, sub-Saharan and North Africa, according to a World Bank report last year. Cities in Chile, Brazil, Mexico and Peru also have dangerous levels of air pollution, according to several WHO and United Nations reports. But the World Air Quality Report 2019 suggests India has the most cities with high air pollution levels. India has recorded 521 Covid-19 deaths so far. Dr S K Chhabra, pulmonary department head at Primus Super Speciality Hospital, in Delhi, said: \"If we see a significant rise in the spread of the virus, people with underlying conditions because of air pollution will definitely be the worst affected.\" And Public Health Foundation India president Prof Srinath Reddy said: \"If air pollution has already damaged the airways and lung tissue, there is reduced reserve to cope with the onslaught of coronavirus.\" But Dr Rajni Kant Srivastava, of the Indian Council for Medical Research, said: \"There is not enough evidence and we have also not carried out any such study.\" The 2002 severe acute respiratory syndrome (Sars) outbreak, caused by a different strain of coronavirus, infected more than 8,000 people, in 26 countries, and killed almost 800. And a 2003 University of California, Los Angeles study suggested people from areas of high air pollution were more than twice as likely to die from the disease.",

I'd gone from a bright, bubbly girl to being exhausted and having my personality sucked out of me. For those of you who don't know (and I'm guessing you don't, I certainly didn't) it's a horrible illness that makes you feel tired in a really extreme, abnormal way. It's so much more than that too because you get digestive problems, headaches, nausea, muscle pains, spasms and you become sensitive to light and noise. Crawling home from the bus stop I had just finished my GCSEs when I got ill. I noticed I was getting worn out uncharacteristically quickly. Despite trying to push on and keep going it became unavoidable and one day I had to crawl home from the bus stop because my legs were like jelly. I physically couldn't walk. After that, things went downhill rapidly and I ended up being bed-bound for a couple of years - it felt like I was a prisoner in my own body. Held hostage by ME, the biggest punishment of all was the social isolation, having to watch as my friends went through their rites of passage. Unfortunately, myalgic encephalomyelitis can often be missed by the medical profession and it took 18 months to get a proper diagnosis. While I followed some of the treatments suggested by my doctor, I was also lucky to be in a financial position that allowed me to try some alternative, private things. It's really important to point out that no two cases of ME are the same - what works for one person might not work for another. Every sufferer has to find their own way to recovery. For anyone suffering or who thinks they might be, there's no need to feel ashamed or embarrassed. I'm now 22 - studying and learning to drive with a great social life, so there can be a way out of ME. What is ME? Follow Newsbeat on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter.

Some experts are so in favour of daylight saving that they say it should be made permanent, meaning not turning the clocks back in autumn. Research by the Brookings Institution and Cornell University pointed to a fall in crime after clocks go forward. Authors Jennifer Doleac and Nicholas Sanders said that most street crime took place during the typical evening commuting hours between 17:00 and 20:00 \"and more ambient light during typical high-crime hours makes it easier for victims and passers-by to see potential threats and later identify wrongdoers\". Sleep disruption Along with other commentators, they say that the problems caused by disrupting people's body clocks such as car accidents and increased rates of hearts attacks, could be avoided by making daylight saving time a permanent fixture. Some studies have suggested that although daylight saving was introduced to save energy, any reductions in electricity are offset by increased use of heating or air conditioning and also vehicle fuel. Research from Johns Hopkins University and Stanford University has also suggested that sleep disruption caused by the \"spring forward\" effect causes an increase in traffic accidents. Using data from the US National Highway Transportation Safety Administration over a 21-year period they found a small but significant, increase of fatal road accidents on the Monday after the clocks went forward. They also found a significant increase in crashes on the Sunday of the autumn shift. Environmentalists are also questioning whether daylight saving time actually saves any energy. A study by the University of California Energy Institute suggested that putting the clocks forward caused electricity demand to rise as there was a \"tradeoff between reducing demand for lighting and increasing demand for heating and cooling\". Critics of moving clocks backwards and forwards at different times of the year also say it can disrupt relationships. Research carried out by the journal Social Psychological and Personality Science said that couples reported more conflict following poor nights of sleep. A study from Finland has also suggested that daylight saving can increase cases of stroke. Author Dr Jori Ruuskanen, of the University of Turku, said an analysis of stroke data in Finland from 2004 to 2013 showed the overall rate of ischemic stroke was 8% higher in the two days after clocks went forward. \"Looking at over a decade of stroke data, we saw a temporary increase in stroke incidence after daylight saving time transitions,\" Dr Ruuskanen told US broadcaster CBS.",

Because the Catalan government plans a Scottish-style vote on independence on 9 November, even though the Spanish government has called it \"illegal\". Waking up on Friday, pro-independence Catalans, at least privately, cannot fail to be disappointed. The Catalan president, who is expected to get the green light from the regional parliament in Barcelona to hold a similar vote, admitted to me last week that he wanted a \"Yes\" in Scotland to prove that there could be a successful referendum for independence in part of a fellow EU country. Catalonia's Foreign Secretary (a title that would raise many Spanish eyebrows), Roger Albinyana, told me that he was \"not at all disappointed\". He is keen to point out that David Cameron allowed the Scottish vote. Mariano Rajoy will never give his approval to a vote here in Catalonia. And for pro-independence Catalans Scotland was a \"democratic success\", a nation exercising \"their right to vote\". However Catalans who passionately want Catalonia to remain part of Spain say the situation here is more complicated than, in the words of one activist, a \"black-and-white, yes-no\" decision. Canada - Lee Carter The victory for the \"No\" vote will please many of Canada's editorial writers, most of whom came down firmly on the side of Scotland staying with the union. As the vote got closer, many other stories were gently shoved aside by major TV news networks, which had correspondents on the ground in Scotland providing minute-by-minute results. The interest was not surprising. Nearly five million Canadians identify themselves as Scottish. And Scots have had a huge impact on Canadian culture and history. Many of those who migrated to Nova Scotia (New Scotland) did so because they were forced off their land. Opinion in some of the communities there tilted towards the Yes campaign. The Scottish debate seemed to have much more traction in the French-speaking province of Quebec. Referendums on separation from Canada were twice held there (1980 and 1995) and twice rejected, albeit by an extremely narrow margin in 1995. A group of Quebec \"sovereigntists\" who'd made the trip to Scotland to watch and learn from the process said they were hugely impressed by the precision and clarity of the \"Yes\" campaign. But the group's leader, Alexandre Cloutier, admitted that the next referendum in Quebec could be a long way off. In April, the pro-independence Parti Quebecois was swept from power in the province by the federalist Liberals. And support for separation in the province wavers at around 40%. Group members insist that despite the result, there are still many aspects of the Scottish vote that could inspire a new generation of Quebec separatists. But weighing into the debate, Quebec's Premier Philippe Couillard said that while Scotland's referendum was an example of the same kind of healthy tension that exists in Quebec, all comparisons after that were \"risky\". India - Andrew North India's foreign minister didn't know Scotland was considering divorce, until an aide whispered in her ear. A more pressing concern for some Indians was what it meant for the price of Scotch. There's also been some schadenfreude in the air, watching their former colonial master prepare to \"partition\" itself. For many, the idea that the UK was about to give away some of its territory voluntarily - and because the British prime minister himself had allowed a vote - was hard to comprehend. And if the Scots had voted \"Yes\", it would have set an uncomfortable precedent in Kashmir. India has never carried out its 1948 promise to hold a referendum there, and Kashmiris were quick to make the comparison with the Scots getting a vote. So it's not surprising Foreign Minister Sushma Swaraj's initial reaction to the idea the UK could break up was \"God forbid\". It would have just made things too complicated. China - Martin Patience China's official reaction to the referendum's result was \"no comment\" because it was an internal matter for the UK. But in the run-up to the vote, Premier Li Keqiang stressed that he wanted to see a \"united\" United Kingdom. Privately at least, China's leaders will welcome the \"No\" vote. They will have worried that an independent Scotland may have inspired China's own minorities in Tibet and Xinjiang - and given those in Hong Kong and Taiwan new ideas. The narrative of the ruling Communist party is of a strong, unified China rising in the world. Any talk of separation or independence is crushed by force here. With that in mind, many Chinese were astonished that London allowed the referendum to go ahead - never mind that it would allow the UK to split up. Throughout the campaign, state media ran articles about how \"too much democracy\" had led to \"instability\" in the UK. The message to Chinese readers was clear: China needs to stick together - otherwise it is inviting chaos. Germany - Jenny Hill \"Scotland stays British!\" proclaims Germany's most popular newspaper. For Bild, like every other paper and TV news programme here, there is only one top story this morning - and on the whole only one response. \"I'm hugely relieved,\" said one politician. \"It prevents further fragmentation of Europe.\" The government agrees - though the official line is less exuberant. \"We have always respected the fact that this referendum was called and that the central government in London agreed to this. And now we respect the outcome of it as well,\" said Angela Merkel. Is she pleased with the result? The German chancellor was coy. \"I will not comment on this but just smile.\" Why? Politicians are looking ahead to a possible UK referendum on EU membership. Without Scottish voters, they think Britain's exit from the EU would have been far more likely. But there are other considerations too. In a leader that ran two days ago, the broadsheet Sueddeutsche Zeitung expressed concern about the economic viability of independence. On Friday morning the language was somewhat bolder. According to the Frankfurter Allgemeine the nationalists were \"promising the moon\". Among ordinary Germans, I've yet to find someone who supported independence. Take Edgar. Every day he stands on the bank of the river Spree, leans on his stick and shepherds tourists on to his sightseeing boat. \"Better together,\" he told me. \"Of course they're better together.\" Italy - David Willey The final result of Scotland's independence referendum missed the early editions of Italy's morning papers, but Italian shares hit new two-year highs at the opening of Milan's stock exchange. The \"spread\" between the price of Italian and German 10-year treasury euro bonds hit a three-year low - signifying increased confidence in Italy's financial credibility. The leading daily Corriere Della Sera's headline ran: \"UK remains united but will still change\". Former Prime Minister Enrico Letta tweeted (in Italian): \"Scotland has decided. Good for us and for Europe. Now let's not ignore the intolerance and fears which encourage separatists.\" Italy's Northern League separatist party, which dreams of setting up a republic called Padania in the Po River Valley, is currently in the doldrums after losing heavily at the last elections. Meanwhile a nascent movement for the independence of Venice, in times past a powerful European nation-state, is not taken seriously in Rome. Newspapers in the German-speaking South Tyrol, which passed to Italy after World War One, said that the Scottish referendum had been an \"incredible success\" simply because it had been allowed to be held. Listeners calling in to a leading radio talk show complained that in contrast to what happens in the UK, Italian politicians seem unable to carry out long-desired constitutional changes and electoral reforms. Romania - Nick Thorpe Ethnic Hungarians in Romania's Transylvania region have welcomed the Scottish referendum result. \"This will help our striving for autonomy,\" said the president of the Szekler National Council, which is campaigning for an autonomous Szeklerland - a region in eastern Transylvania comprising largely Hungarian-speaking territory with roots going back to the Middle Ages. \"The world has changed. The Scottish government and parliament will certainly have more autonomy in the future. Romania should learn from this to engage in debate with us, as we are asking for much less than the Scots,\" Balazs Izsak added. Approximately 800,000 Hungarians live in the two counties of Hargita and Covasna and a part of Mures county. Until the Treaty of Trianon in 1920, the whole of Transylvania was under Hungarian jurisdiction. But Hungarians in Romania today are divided over the autonomy efforts, and Romanians on the whole reject any debate about the possibility. The Democratic Union of Hungarians (UDMR), who form part of the current Romanian government, this week published their own plans for Szekler autonomy, based on the model of Italy's South Tyrol province. Leader Hunor Kelemen stressed the difference between the plan and Scotland's referendum. The number of Hungarians living in Transylvania is falling by about 20,000 each year, and champions of autonomy argue that this is the best way to preserve the Hungarian community. Ethnic Hungarians also fear a new regionalisation plan for Romania, which would administratively divide their region further. Australia - Jon Donnison A substantial proportion of the Australian population has Scottish heritage. As in Scotland, the issue of independence has divided that community. The \"No\" victory will be welcomed by Australia's conservative Prime Minister Tony Abbott, a staunch unionist and royalist who was born in London to English parents. The result has seen the pound strengthen against the Australian dollar as well as a host of other currencies. The referendum has received widespread coverage here. There is no real equivalent independence movement here although some in the mineral rich state of Western Australia have argued they should one day break away from Australia as a whole. But such a split is unlikely. Analysis - Bridget Kendall, BBC diplomatic correspondent The news that Scotland is not going to leave the UK will mean many governments are heaving a sigh of relief. Some feared that Scottish independence might encourage other separatist movements. Others worried that it would turn the rest of the UK into a weaker and distracted partner. But has Britain's global standing been affected nonetheless? There is an argument that the UK, along with the rest of the West, is already in decline - its clout eroded by the rise of emerging giants like China, India, Russia and Brazil. And the very fact of this referendum shows its power and prestige is on the wane, and its reliability as a partner has been undermined. There is a worry too that new devolved powers promised to Scotland, and further constitutional change being called for elsewhere in the UK, may mean that the government in London will be too distracted to pull its weight on foreign affairs. No vote relief for many governments",

He had sent two Jack Russell terriers - which were allowed to roam freely with his lurcher - into the sett. At Lanark Sheriff Court he was also ordered to carry out 250 hours of unpaid work and given a Restriction of Liberty Order for seven months. The court heard that King, from Motherwell, was caught by police digging into the sett in woodland near Carluke railway station on 25 April 2018. The terriers had been fitted with locator collars which enabled him to know where the dogs were when underground. The Scottish SPCA was called to assist police and when the terriers returned to the surface they were found to have injuries suggesting they had fought with a badger. All three dogs were seized by the animal welfare charity, with one of the terriers later having to be put down due to its injuries. The other two dogs were taken from King following a court order. Police found a number of incriminating images on King's phone. He had been found guilty of two charges of badger baiting, one under under the Protection of Badgers Act 1992 and another charge under the Animal Health and Welfare (Scotland) Act 2006. Sara Shaw, head of the wildlife and environmental crime unit, said: \"I welcome the conviction and sentence of Robert King and the message it sends to others who would cause such terrible and unnecessary suffering. \"The law protects badgers from harm, as well as dogs from being used for fighting. \"COPFS [Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service] will continue to work to ensure those who participate in this barbaric practice are prosecuted and would encourage anyone who may have information on animal fighting to contact Police Scotland.\"",

            "input": "Jonathan AmosScience correspondent@BBCAmoson Twitter It has put a probe called Hope in orbit around the planet, making it only the fifth spacefaring entity to do so after the US, the Soviet Union, Europe and India. The spacecraft, which left Earth seven months ago, had to make a braking manoeuvre to be sure of being captured by Mars' gravity. UAE scientists can now look forward to studying the planet's atmosphere. Their satellite carries three instruments that will observe, among other targets, how neutral atoms of hydrogen and oxygen - remnants from Mars' once abundant water - leak into space. In the process, Hope will return spectacular, high-resolution, full-disk images of the planet. Tuesday marked the most critical phase in the mission. Hope had been approaching Mars at over 120,000km/h (relative to the Sun) and needed to execute a precise 27-minute burn on its braking engines to scrub some of that speed or risk skipping off into ever deeper space. The manoeuvre, performed by six thrusters on the probe, commenced at about 19:30 GST (15:30 GMT), with confirmation received at Earth some 11 minutes later - the delay being the time it took for radio signals to traverse the 190-million-km separation between Mars and Earth. The official announcement on the burn's completion when it came was calm, and the applause relatively restrained. Perhaps it was the relief speaking after a nerve-shredding wait for the positive telemetry. \"Mars orbit insertion was the most critical and dangerous part of our journey to Mars, exposing the Hope probe to stresses and pressures it has never before faced,\" said Omran Sharaf, the Hope mission's project director at the Mohammed bin Rashid Space Centre \"With this enormous milestone achieved, we are now preparing to transition to our science orbit and commence science data gathering.\" The past few days have witnessed tremendous enthusiasm for Hope and its mission, with public monuments, buildings and heritage sites across the federation all lit up in red. Dubai's Burj Khalifa, the tallest human-made structure on Earth, had been flashing a countdown to Tuesday's big moment. Hope is regarded as a triumph for a small gulf nation that dared to think seven years ago that it could inspire the next generation by launching the first Arab interplanetary space mission. \"We wanted to arrive at Mars; (I'm) really grateful, and it's like a weight of seven years has been lifted from my shoulders,\" said Her Excellency Sarah Al Amiri, UAE minister of state for advanced technology and chair of the UAE Space Agency. \"On arriving at Mars. I'm now truly looking forward to the scientific discoveries. And I truly hope this mission will impact an entire generation to strive to do things that are even bigger,\" she told BBC News. Hope is now running in an initial ellipse around Mars that comes as close as 1,000km from the planet and goes out to almost 50,000km. Over the course of the next few weeks, this will be trimmed to a 55-hour, 22,000km-by-43,000km orbit that is inclined to the equator by about 25 degrees. \"It depends on what that initial orbit looks like but we would need around three manoeuvres to get into our science orbit,\" said propulsion engineer Ayesha Sharafi. This path is very different to those of previous satellites which have tended to operate with greater proximity to Mars to facilitate high-resolution imagery of the surface and communications with landed robots. But it's from this high perch that Hope plans to carry out some novel research. It's going to trace how energy moves through the atmosphere from the very bottom to the very top. A key influencer in this respect is dust which can on occasions blow up into storms that envelop the entire planet. \"Dust plays a hugely important role in the Martian atmosphere. There are a few places on Earth where the atmosphere can be that dusty, but they're localised and maybe for short times,\" explained Prof David Brain, a University of Colorado at Boulder planetary expert who is working with the UAE team. \"Dust absorbs a lot of energy; it can become very warm and radiate energy. And so when you're talking about energy transport, dust is a much larger part of the big picture at Mars.\" Hope is leading a wave of missions to Mars this February. On Wednesday, it will be the turn of China with its Tianwen-1 orbiter. Like Hope, it must complete a braking manoeuvre to be captured by the planet's gravity. Tianwen-1 is carrying a rover that will be despatched to the surface, most likely in May. Next week, on Thursday 18 February, the Americans will arrive at Mars with another of their big rovers. The Perseverance robot is being aimed at a crater that once held a giant lake. It will look for signs of fossilised life.",

The report from HM Inspectorate of Constabulary (HMIC) said the force had almost \"exhausted the options\" for cutting costs. The PCC said people were willing to pay \"a little more\" to protect services. Bedfordshire Police is one of five forces identified by the HMIC, which could find it hard to cope with future budget cuts. The HMIC recognised the force had \"responded well\" to financial challenges and already had plans in place to save £19.4m by March 2015. By then, the county will have about 1,020 police officers. 'Little options' However, the report said Bedfordshire Police was \"already a low cost force\", had low financial reserves and a challenging crime mix, which gave it \"limited room for manoeuvre\". HMIC for the east, Zoë Billingham, said: \"Bedfordshire may soon struggle to identify where further savings can come from, with little option but to cut front line police officer numbers further. Mr Martins said his plans to protect police numbers included using more special constables and more collaboration with neighbouring forces and the public sector. He said the county's police \"precept\" - what people pay for policing through the council tax - was well below the national average, but could not be increased without asking the public. \"We should be allowed the flexibility to increase our council tax by £5 per household until we reach the average, without having to hold a referendum,\" said Mr Martins. \"Many people I speak to tell me they are prepared to pay a little more to protect front line policing.\" Chief Constable Colette Paul, who joined the force in July, said: \"We do face new challenges but we are determined to work hard to identify opportunities to meet them.\"",

She had three operations to place her heart back in her chest. Vanellope has now left Nottingham's Queen's Medical Centre, which she was moved to in May to be nearer home. She has had a few trips home overnight but now will now be there permanently. Her mother Naomi Findlay, from Bulwell, Nottingham, said it was \"absolutely amazing\" and \"a massive relief\" to have Vanellope home. \"It's exciting but it's daunting at the same time,\" she added. \"It has been an incredibly long, emotional journey.\" Vanellope requires 24-hour care and is reliant on a ventilator. Her parents - who said they will get married next year - are taking over much of her care, although they will have help overnight. Ms Findlay said it was \"not quite over yet\" but it was a chance for them to be a normal family. Vanellope's father Dean Wilkins said: \"There is still a lot she has to undergo yet but she is home and that's the first step.\" Frances Bu'Lock, part of the team caring for Vanellope, said the baby would \"need something in the longer term\" to give structure to her chest and make her condition more stable. \"Like with all of her care we don't exactly know what's going to happen, because nobody's ever done it before, so we're going to have to keep an eye on things,\" she added. The condition, ectopia cordis, is extremely rare with only a few cases per million births, of which most are stillborn. When Vanellope's rare condition was first diagnosed in pregnancy her parents were told she had less than a one in 10 chance of surviving. However, the experts at the children's heart surgery unit at Glenfield Hospital defeated those odds. Glenfield Hospital said it knew of no other case in the UK where the baby had survived.

Until now this \"remote play\" facility had only been offered to the firm's PlayStation Vita handheld console. Experts said the feature should help Sony's kit stand out from Android rivals at a time when competition is intensifying. But despite the popularity of the PS4, they added, the move was likely to have only a slight impact on sales. The Japanese company also unveiled a new smartwatch and a fitness tracker at a press conference in Berlin, ahead of the start of the Ifa tech show. The launches come a month after Sony cut its smartphone sales forecast by 14% for this financial year, saying its original figure was too \"optimistic\". The firm's global handset market share has slipped from 3.9% to 3.1% over the past year, according to research firm IDC, as Chinese rivals have made gains. 'Best of Sony' The Z3, Z3 Compact and Z3 Tablet Compact all rely on a wi-fi link to control the PS4 and view the graphics it generates. The firm suggests the feature will appeal to gamers who have to share use of the living room TV. \"Our promise to the consumer has been to bring the best of Sony - all our consumer electronics experience - into a smartphone,\" Calum MacDougall, head of Xperia marketing, told the BBC. \"We've consistently delivered that in the Z series with digital imaging capability, with our TV screen technology, with our audio capability. And now this is a big step up to almost complete the set with gaming functionality.\" Praise for the move was qualified. \"For the gaming fraternity this is certainly something that would pique their interest when looking across a kind of homogenous set of smartphones that largely look the same and do the same kind of thing,\" said Ben Wood, head of research at CCS Insight, a telecoms consultancy. \"But I'm not sure it will be a killer feature.\" Ryan Reith, mobile devices analyst at IDC, agreed that the facility had appeal to a niche audience, but said at this point the majority of gamers' needs were met by existing tablet and phone apps. Hard corners Other features of the Z3 smartphone include: The firm has also taken the relatively unusual step of keeping the phone's 5.2in (13.2cm) screen at 1080p resolution rather than using a higher resolution panel. While this limits the level of detail displayed, the firm says the benefit is that the handset offers a longer-than-average two days of use between battery charges. Rejecting round Sony also updated its wearable tech range with two new products. The Smartband Talk is a waterproof wristband that tracks the user's physical activity and can last three days between charges. It also acts as a remote microphone and speaker for Bluetooth-connected Android phones, letting owners make calls from their wrist. The SmartWatch 3 is Sony's first watch to be powered by Google's Android Wear operating system, which is designed for small screens. It also adds four gigabytes of internal memory, allowing it to offer \"offline\" music playback at times the owner does not have their phone with them. Unlike LG and Motorola, Sony only offers its watch in a square design rather than a circular option, which some believe is more fashionable. \"We believe the squarer screen is the better way to go to offer better second-screen functionality,\" said Mr MacDougall. \"Whether it's looking at your life-log application or notifications, you get a much richer experience in that way.\" However, he declined to rule out Sony releasing a circular watch at a later stage. \"Let's see if Sony has a round screen at CES in January,\" remarked Mr Cross in response. \"All the feedback we're getting is that for wearables to be attractive they need to become more fashionable, and the circular watches have resonated with the consumer and fashion media as to what we want. \"At least Sony now has a stake in the ground with Android Wear, which we believe will become the most pervasive smartwatch operating system outside anything Apple do.\"",

It was the same in the US, where 733,000 vinyl albums were bought in the week ending 26 April, breaking a sales record for the format. David Bowie's Welcome To The Blackout was among the most in-demand releases. The three-disc live album, recorded on the star's Isolar II Tour in 1978, was a Record Store Day exclusive. Not only did it top the UK vinyl chart, but entered the official Top 40 at number 22. It was also the second best-seller in America, just behind a red vinyl edition of Bruce Springsteen's Greatest Hits. Other popular Record Store Day exclusives included Pink Floyd's The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn and Arcade Fire's debut EP, which was issued on blue vinyl. Artists including Rag 'N' Bone Man and Florence + The Machine also released new material to mark the occasion. The annual event, now in its 11th year, aims to tempt lapsed record-buyers back into local, independent stores. The lure of limited edition releases by some of rock and pop's biggest names leads to fans sleeping outside record shops, in an attempt to be first through the doors. Rachel Lowe, of Brighton store Vinyl Revolution, said the event, on 22 April, \"was the best day we've had since opening\". \"The revenue will help our young shop immensely but the publicity and goodwill will last much longer,\" she told Music Week. Jon Tolley of Banquet Records in Kingston added that Record Store Day was \"hands down our busiest day of the year\" and a \"great shot in the arm\" for the business. However, sales of singles dropped year-on-year, as customers shifted towards the album format. In the US, Nielsen Music revealed that without the albums sold by indie stores in the week of Record Store Day, overall sales would have been down 2.5%. Instead, they were up 17%. It was also America's biggest week ever for vinyl album sales outside of the Christmas season - and the third-biggest overall - since Nielsen Music began tracking data in 1991.

Militants belonging to affiliates of al-Qaeda are also active in the region. They are most active in neighbouring Mali, where French troops intervened in 2013 to prevent them from advancing on the capital, but they often stage cross-border raids. How did the attack happen? The soldiers were in pursuit of militants who attacked a high security prison 50km (30 miles) on Tuesday outside the capital, Niamey, a government spokesman told the BBC. \"One of the soldiers' vehicles drove into a landmine and then the assailants started firing at our soldiers,\" Mr Zakariyyah told the BBC's Focus on Africa programme on Tuesday. It was initially reported that 17 soldiers had been killed in the ambush. Without providing any evidence, the Islamic State group has claimed responsibility for the attack via its news agency Amaq. According to the statement, 40 were killed and injured, although for now the government has said that the death toll was 28. Mr Zakariyyah did not identify the perpetrators of the attack but said it happened near where US troops and five Niger soldiers were killed two years ago. A search operation, aided by French and American troops, who have a base in Niger, continues. Niger is part of a five nation anti-insurgency force operating in the Sahel. It includes Burkina Faso, Chad, Mali and Mauritania. The G5 Sahel, as it is called, is backed by a 3,000-strong French force. Call to attack French allies By Louise Dewast, BBC West Africa correspondent This was the deadliest attack recorded in western Niger, where government troops and their international allies are fighting affiliates of al-Qaeda and the Islamic State group. Authorities say it was a complex attack in which the militants planted improvised explosive devices. Despite years of heavy deployments of French, US and UN forces, the region - including Niger - remains a tinderbox. The group called the Islamic State in the Greater Sahara (ISGS), which has claimed responsibility for the attack, has recently been subject to counter-militancy operations, mainly led by the French, making large-scale attacks against government troops difficult. For one expert on the region, Héni Nsaibia, a researcher at The Armed Conflict Location and Event Data group, this attack could be the result of French forces shifting its focus to central Mali, and to the recent hostage-release operation in Burkina Faso which required attention and assets. He adds it could also be that militants are heeding the call of Islamic State group leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, who in a recent audiovisual speech explicitly called on them to intensify attacks against France and its allies in the Sahel region. The statement released on Thursday was issued by the central Islamic State but is being attributed to its affiliate in the region. It is believed to be just the second official claim - in the form of a statement - from ISGS in the region.",

It came after two days in which the UK death toll jumped significantly to 1,228, including two NHS doctors. Citing the 20,000 former NHS staff who have returned to work and the 750,000 members of the public who have volunteered to help the most vulnerable, a croaky-sounding Boris Johnson said it was proof his Conservative predecessor Margaret Thatcher was wrong when she famously declared \"there is no such thing as society\". The PM also said the majority of people appeared to be obeying social distancing restrictions imposed to slow the spread of the virus, despite some eye-catching exceptions. Earlier, England's deputy chief medical officer Dr Jenny Harries warned it could be six months before life in the UK returned to normal - although she stressed that didn't mean \"complete lockdown\" for all that time. Instead, restrictions will most likely be eased gradually over the next three to six months. Lifting restrictions too early could be dangerous, she added. We're all becoming very familiar with the need to keep at least two metres away from other people - health correspondent Laura Foster helps explain the best ways to do that. You can also meet some of the \"shielded\" - those enduring 12 weeks of total isolation - and watch the impact of the \"stay at home\" message on London's usually clogged streets in this striking timelapse video. Global picture Donald Trump had said he believed the US could get back to something approaching normal by Easter, but on Sunday night, the president appeared to abandon that hope. He said social distancing measures would be extended across the US until at least 30 April. The death toll in the US has reached almost 2,500, and earlier, White House medical adviser Dr Anthony Fauci warned the virus could eventually kill up to 200,000 Americans. Elsewhere in the world, Australia has tightened restrictions on public life designed to tackle the disease, while India's prime minister has apologised for the impact of similar curbs. Narendra Modi has been criticised over the lack of planning ahead of India's shutdown, which has left many citizens jobless and hungry. Globally, there have been more than 720,000 infections and almost 34,000 deaths. Italy remains by far the worst hit country, with more than 10,000 fatalities, followed by Spain and then China.

Get news from the BBC in your inbox, each weekday morning Readying the NHS We know a surge in coronavirus cases is coming and that means a huge increase in pressure on the NHS. Our health correspondent Nick Triggle looks at what it has been doing to prepare. One step has been to create a big field hospital in east London and we've learned that thousands of cabin crew left without work due to the crisis have been offered jobs there. Supply of equipment will also be crucial as things intensify, and in a piece of good news this morning, a breathing aid which can help keep coronavirus patients out of intensive care has been created in under a week. Up to 1,000 of the CPAP machines can be produced per day, and creators say they will save lives by ensuring ventilators are kept available for only the most seriously ill. Why are ventilators so vital? Here we explain. Why are people stealing hospital supplies? By Dr John Wright, Bradford Royal Infirmary Following the UK-wide lockdown the hospital followed suit, in a bid to limit transmission of the coronavirus. Eighteen entrances across the 26-acre site were sealed off and everyone is now funnelled through one main door. But on Thursday night, as millions of people across the UK stepped out of their houses and applauded NHS workers, one man carefully dressed in doctor's scrubs. He even completed his disguise with a stethoscope. He then attempted to bluff his way past the security guard demanding to see his pass, and when he was exposed he made a run for it.

The Times says it's \"almost inevitable\" the current restrictions will be extended beyond the three weeks initially announced. The Daily Telegraph feels the rising death toll \"will convince the country that more time is needed\", but people \"need to be told something more than things are going to get worse if we are to get through this\". A number of papers feature an image of Amged El-Hawrani - one of the first British doctors to die with the virus.

            "input": "By Sally ChidzoyBBC home affairs correspondent, east of England The initiative was called the HM Prison Service Reserve by the Ministry of Justice, in a letter sent to ex-prison officers to gauge interest. Those who sign up could be called in on short-term contracts from August. The MoJ explained in the letter the move would help it respond to short-term demands, such as a rise in inmate numbers or \"operational pressures\". One prison officer who received the letter told the BBC: \"The reason for this 'reserve force' being considered is the critical shortage of prison officers in prisons up and down the country.\" It comes after the government last month ordered dozens of already full jails to take more inmates because the jail population - which stands at about 85,000 - was growing faster than expected. 'Zero-hours contract' The MoJ said 100 \"reservists\" were being recruited on short-term contracts of between three and nine months. They would be deployed nationally, \"where there is a need for them\", said a spokesman. The spokesman said staff who left their jobs through the voluntary early departure scheme would be eligible, though they would have to repay any payments they had received. The letter also acknowledges any ex-officer who joins the reserve may find it has an impact on their pension. The MoJ said reserve staff would be paid pro-rata salary based on the number of hours they worked and receive travel costs. They would be subject to the same terms and conditions as other staff doing the same job, said the spokesman. But the former prison officer criticised the scheme, saying the terms of one of the offers was \"almost a zero-hours contract\". It is understood a number of former officers have rejected the offer. 'Address weakness' In the House of Commons earlier this month, Justice Secretary Chris Grayling said he would address \"a weakness in our prison system\" - \"the fact that we have no access to the kind of temporary or agency staff routinely found in our health and education systems\". \"I am establishing a reserve capability among former staff to give us the flexibility to adapt to short-term changes of population by bringing reserve capacity into operation,\" he said. Forty prisons in England and Wales have been told to raise their \"operational capacity\" at a time when most prisons are running at full capacity or are overcrowded. It follows the closure of 16 prisons in the past four years, with a number of them closed at short notice.",

            "input": "By Justin ParkinsonBBC News Magazine Across the UK, planes are not normally allowed to fly any closer than 500ft (152m) from the closest \"person, vessel, vehicle or structure\". This rises to 1,000ft (305m) from the \"highest fixed obstacle\" for built-up areas. And anyone wanting to take part in aerobatics can't do so any closer than 1,000ft from the highest point in any area, outside of controlled air space. But air shows need to allow planes to get closer to spectators, so they can experience up close the thrill of displays. This means different rules apply on such occasions. The Civil Aviation Authority's latest regulations, updated this year, set the minimum distance between the display area - the patch of ground over which the plane is flying - and the sectioned-off crowd area. If it's flying at less than 100 knots (185kph), the distance between display area and crowd area can be as little as 50m. If the plane is doing aerobatics, the distance is 100m. Planes that travel at more than 300 knots (556kph), such as the Hawker Hunter jet involved in Saturday's disaster at Shoreham, West Sussex, have to leave 200m, increasing to 230m when performing aerobatics. Between 100 knots and and 300 knots there's a sliding scale. The distances indicated here do not deal with height, just with the proximity of the display area and crowd area. When it comes to height for planes at air shows there are no fixed minimums. More experienced pilots are allowed to take the plane lower during manoeuvres than those newer to taking part in displays. Air show directors must write to pilots to inform them of minimum heights applicable for their events and follow this up by telling them again in person or by telephone. But the regulations do not set absolute measurements. The Hawker Hunter at Shoreham collided with several cars on the A27, just to the north of the airfield, after hitting the ground when the pilot attempted to complete a loop. Because airports control the airspace surrounding them, this section of the road would have formed part of the designated air show display area. This means planes could fly and perform aerobatics over it, but not above the official fenced-off spectator areas within the airport, where this is banned. The CAA states that directors of air shows \"should consider imposing minimum height restrictions over local sensitive and congested areas\". But, in its advice to pilots, it remarks that the Hunter \"has little difficulty sustaining, or regaining speed and/or altitude during a low-level display\". The CAA also defines the loop as among the simplest aerobatic manoeuvres. The CAA says that, as a precaution, it has imposed a temporary ban on flights by Hawker Hunters and that vintage jet aircraft will not be able to perform \"high-energy aerobatics\" until further notice. It will also conduct extra risk assessments on all forthcoming civil air displays to establish if additional measures should be introduced. Already, pilots performing in air shows are urged to fix a \"sequence card\", laying out the basic details of the routine they have practised, to the instrument panel. They are responsible for their own mental and physical condition, including fatigue, stress and any medication taken, and are expected to carry out a final \"mental rehearsal\" before flying. \"We are pretty much seen in the UK as having one of the best safety records,\" says Charles Skiera, executive director of the European Airshow Council. \"The UK regulations are held in high regard in Europe and formed the basis for many other European nations' own regulations. \"Air shows are second only to football in terms of popularity as spectator events and it's been 63 years since any spectators have been killed.\" There are separate rules for military planes, such as the Red Arrows, that take part in UK air shows. The \"normal\" separation between the crowd area and display area for planes carrying out aerobatics should be 230m, the Ministry of Defence says. For planes going at more than 300 knots towards the crowd, this should increase to 450m. During aerobatic manoeuvres, they should stay at least 300ft (91m) above ground. Nato countries have an agreement setting minimum standards when military planes from one country visit another to take place in a display. The UK still imposes its own standards on visitors, as these are deemed to be more rigorous. \"The simple fact is that England is full up,\" former RAF pilot George Bacon told the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire show. \"We must seriously recognise that. Shoreham is by no means the only airfield that operates so close to a major arterial road. Clearly more work needs to be done. Maybe rules will be changed so that certain types of aircraft can only operate in certain locations.\" It's been suggested that aerobatic displays should happen only over open water, where there is no danger of hitting spectators or buildings. Bacon is sceptical of this idea. \"What happened here was that, for some reason, inexplicable at the moment, the aircraft and the pilot went outside the safety envelope,\" he says. In the US, the Federal Aviation Administration says that, for planes with a cruising speed of 245 knots or more, the \"optimum\" distance between the airspace above spectator and display areas is 1,500ft (457m). The \"absolute minimum\" is 1,200ft (366m). Over the past decade there have been several accidents at air shows in the UK. But since the Farnborough Airshow of 1952, in which a De Havilland 110 broke up after passing the sound barrier, showering the crowd with debris, no spectator has been killed by a plane. That disaster, causing 31 deaths, resulted in a full review of safety regulations, and they've often been amended since.

He said that there were still safety concerns about six former patients. The government's full response to the abuse at Winterbourne View will be published in November, he told MPs, in response to an urgent question tabled by shadow health minister Liz Kendall. She said that \"serious concerns\" remained over whether the government took \"all necessary steps\" to ensure former Winterbourne View patients were now receiving effective care. 'Robust and clear' On Monday Panorama revealed new safety alerts had been raised about 19 of the 51 patients who were abused at Winterbourne View but who now live at other care homes. While not all of the safeguarding alerts meant that the patient had been harmed, at least one has been assaulted and one criminal inquiry is under way. Mr Lamb said: \"Years and years of public money being spent on putting people into inappropriate settings, often putting them at risk of abuse - this is a national scandal and it has to end.\" He went on to say he was \"absolutely determined\" that the government's final response would be \"robust and clear\". Mr Lamb also offered to meet the families of the 19 patients concerned to discuss their cases. The health minister added that he wanted to see an end to local authorities sending adults with learning disabilities to live in care homes far away from their relatives and friends. He said: \"The fact is that for someone who is sent away 200 miles from home, you create the conditions where abuse is more likely than if they are in their own community. \"I want this to end.\" 'Forgotten about' Mr Lamb added that he had been working since his appointment \"to ensure we set the right policy to protect very vulnerable individuals\". Responding to a question from former health minister Paul Burstow, Mr Lamb said changes in the way healthcare was purchased and implemented by local authorities could result in better, cheaper care. He said: \"We were spending public money - £3,500 on average per patient in Winterbourne View - to put people at risk of abuse. \"Often an appropriate care package will cost less than that to give individual the care that they need. \"There is a serious issue about the quality of commissioning, the quality of work done by primary care trusts and in some cases local authorities.\" He went on: \"The sense is that too often people are placed in these settings and to all intents and purposes forgotten about. That is not acceptable.\" The abuse at Winterbourne View was exposed by Panorama in spring 2011, when an undercover reporter secretly filmed support workers slapping patients, pinning them under chairs and giving them cold punishment showers. Last week, six of the 11 care workers who admitted the neglect or abuse of patients were jailed, and five more given a suspended sentence.",

The message was seen by 23.97 million viewers, making it the second most-watched broadcast this year. Boris Johnson's statement announcing strict new coronavirus restrictions was watched by 27 million last month. More than 14 million viewers watched the Queen's message on BBC One, with about five million viewing it on ITV. Another 2.5 million watched the monarch deliver her rare speech on Channel 4, with more watching on Channel 5, Sky News and the BBC News channel. Catch-up services are not included in overnight figures. It was only the fifth time the Queen has given such a speech in her 68-year reign. Her most recent Christmas Day message drew a combined overnight audience of 7.85 million. In her speech on Sunday, the Queen said the UK \"will succeed\" in its fight against the coronavirus pandemic. She thanked people for following government rules to stay inside and paid tribute to key workers for their efforts. Speaking from Windsor Castle, the Queen said the pandemic was a \"different\" challenge compared to what the nation had faced before. The message ended with the words \"we will meet again\" - an apparent reference to Dame Vera Lynn's bolstering war anthem We'll Meet Again. The Queen's four other special addresses were given in 1991, 1997, 2002 and 2012. The first was made at the beginning of the land war in Iraq, while the second was given on the eve of the funeral of Diana, Princess of Wales. The 2002 address came on the eve of her mother's funeral, while the 2012 speech marked her Diamond Jubilee. Sunday's pre-recorded message was filmed by a single cameraman wearing protective equipment. Follow us on Facebook, or on Twitter @BBCNewsEnts.

The court said there had been no violation of Article 5 - the right to liberty and security - of the European Convention on Human Rights. Three people - George Black, a Greek national from Australia; Bronwyn Lowenthal and Peter O'Shea - who had nothing to do with the demonstration, took the case to Europe claiming they were \"deprived of their liberty\". They were joined by Lois Austin, from Basildon, Essex, who had been taking part in the protest. 'Volatile conditions' The court said: \"The police had imposed the cordon to isolate and contain a large crowd in dangerous and volatile conditions. \"This had been the least intrusive and most effective means to protect the public from violence. Although the police tried to start dispersing the crowd throughout the afternoon, they had been unable to do so as the danger had persisted.\" It was the first time the court in Strasbourg had been asked to rule on kettling. The House of Lords had earlier ruled kettling on that day had been \"necessary, proportionate and lawful\". The BBC's legal affairs correspondent Clive Coleman said: \"The essence of the judgement really is that kettling is lawful if it's done in the right way, if it's proportionate and is enforced for no longer than reasonably necessary and if it's being undertaken to avoid personal injury and damage to property.\" The European Court's Grand Chamber of 17 judges, presided over by Belgium's Francoise Tulkens, said: \"Even by 2001, advances in communications technology had made it possible to mobilise protesters rapidly and covertly on a hitherto unknown scale. \"Article 5 did not have to be construed in such a way as to make it impracticable for the police to fulfil their duties of maintaining order and protecting the public.\" The judges ruled that the convention also placed a duty on the police \"to protect individuals from violence and physical injury\". Earlier this year, in a separate case, the Met won its appeal against a High Court ruling over kettling tactics used during G20 demonstrations in 2009. In that case Hannah McClure, a student, and Josh Moos, a campaigner for Plane Stupid, challenged the legality of restraint methods used against them in April 2009 when they were contained by officers in Bishopsgate in the City of London.",

In December, the firm said it would do its utmost to ensure the £20bn nuclear power facility went ahead. A statement from the Welsh Government described the report as \"worrying\". \"This is a major project with significant economic benefits to Wales and rest of the country,\" the statement said. \"We will continue to monitor the situation very carefully and press the UK government to do everything it can to help bring this project to Anglesey.\" Speculation has been mounting that Hitachi will scrap the Horizon nuclear power plant project due to potential increases in construction costs. Anglesey's Welsh Assembly member Rhun ap Iorwerth said Hitachi appeared to be \"closer to a decision on Wylfa not progressing\". \"The signs aren't looking good,\" he told BBC Wales' Good Morning Wales. Anglesey MP Albert Owen told BBC Radio Cymru he wants to know from the UK government \"what is going wrong\" and \"why these questions and fears are being heard\". Is Brexit to blame? The UK government had been in formal negotiations with Hitachi over the project since June. But when British and Japanese prime ministers met on Thursday, they did not discuss the latest on the nuclear power plant. Japan's Shinzo Abe said: \"On the Horizon nuclear power plant project, this is a project which is of strategic importance for both nations. \"I do understand that stakeholders including Hitachi are currently discussing this matter and I will wait until they come to a conclusion. \"We did not touch upon this issue in our summit meeting today.\" Theresa May added: \"This is a commercial decision for the company, we have been working with them, but it will be a commercial decision for the company.\" Speaking on Friday, Wales' former first minister, Carwyn Jones, said he found the developments worrying. \"What is troubling me this morning, having heard that news, is this is a case of the UK government being so focused on Brexit that they are not focused on other issues,\" he said. \"And there are bread and butter issues that are hugely important for people living on Anglesey.\" Sue Ferns, of the union Prospect, echoed worries that the issue of nuclear power was not raised when Mrs May and Mr Abe met. \"The Japanese prime minister was in Downing Street only yesterday - did the prime minister even think to raise the issue of nuclear new build or was the only thing on her mind the chance to take advantage of his visit to try to give another futile boost to her Brexit deal?\" she added. Peter McIntosh, national officer for energy at the union Unite, said: \"Government must take action now, because if the project does not proceed, it will have a devastating impact on the Welsh economy and on the UK's ability to meet its climate change obligations. But new first minister Mark Drakeford said that while the situation was worrying, \"it's still speculation\". Dylan Morgan, from Pawb (People Against Wylfa B), said the government now needed to focus on alternative plans for energy. \"The message should be very clear - we have got to reassess the whole picture of energy generation and make meaningful investment in all the various technologies of renewable energy.\" A spokesman for UK government's Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, said: \"Negotiations with Hitachi on agreeing a deal that provides value for money for consumers and taxpayers on the Wylfa project are ongoing. \"They are commercially sensitive and we do not comment on speculation.\" What has Hitachi said? On Friday, the firm said suspension of the project remained an option. But it said the latest news report in Japan were not \"based on Hitachi's decision or disclosed information\". \"No formal decision has been made in this regard currently, while Hitachi has been assessing the Horizon project including its potential suspension and related financial impacts in terms of economic rationality as a private company,\" it said in a statement. The new nuclear plant would aim to have a generating capacity of 2900 MW by the mid 2020s and have a 60-year operational life. Shares in the Japanese company jumped 8% after the report the project would be suspended. It comes weeks after fellow Japanese company Toshiba announced plans to wind up its UK nuclear business after failing to find a buyer, dealing a potentially fatal blow to plans for a new nuclear power station in Cumbria. The original Wylfa nuclear plant near Cemaes closed in 2015 after more than 40 years' service.",

The close pass, known as a perihelion, puts the probe between the orbits of Venus and Mercury. In the coming years, SolO will go nearer still, closing to within 43 million km of the Sun on occasions. As it stands today, only five other missions have dived deeper into the inner Solar System: Mariner 10, Helios 1 & 2, Messenger, and Parker Solar Probe. Earth orbits 149 million km (93 million miles) on average from the Sun. SolO is a European Space Agency (Esa) craft that was assembled in the UK by the aerospace company Airbus. BBC Radio 4's In our time: What is the solar wind and how does it affect us? It has spent the four months since launch undergoing a checkout phase. Engineers have been running the rule over all the probe's systems and commissioning its 10 scientific instruments. Routine operations for the full suite of onboard experiments are still a year away, but SolO's magnetometer is up and running and will remain so. Sitting at the end of a long boom at the back of the spacecraft, the MAG senses the magnetic fields embedded in the solar wind - the stream of charged particles billowing away from the Sun. Already, the instrument is catching the disturbances that result from big explosions on the star called coronal mass ejections - in addition to the everyday waves and turbulence that trace the wind's structure. \"We switched on, on 24 February - we've already got over 2 billion magnetic field vectors on the ground. We've got a happy, busy science team working away at the data,\" said Prof Tim Horbury, the MAG principal investigator at Imperial College London. One of the reasons the British group's instrument got turned on very early was so it could start to characterise the confounding magnetic fields generated by the electronics in the rest of the spacecraft. This signal is small but needs to be subtracted from the Sun measurements to finesse the detail in the data properly. The early start also gave the London team the chance to do some tandem study with the magnetometer instrument on Esa's BepiColombo mission. As chance would have it, this probe was making a return visit to Earth in April on its way to Mercury. The two missions were therefore able to do some multi-point sensing of the solar wind in relatively close proximity to each other. The same has been true with the American Parker Solar Probe - but at a much greater separation. This US mission is in the process of making some very deep dives past the Sun (on 7 June it passed just 19 million km from the star). \"We're now just one of a constellation of spacecraft flying around the Sun,\" Prof Horbury told BBC News. The next major event for SolO is a flyby of Venus. This occurs at the end of December and will see the probe track about 500,000 km above the planet's surface. The full science phase of the mission is due to start in 2021 when all 10 of SolO's instruments, including its imagers, will begin regular observations. \"I was so nervous when we launched,\" said Prof Horbury. \"I guess the more you know about a project, the more you know about the things that can go wrong. But Solar Orbiter is out there, it's working and it's going to be a fantastic success.\" Jonathan.Amos-INTERNET@bbc.co.uk and follow me on Twitter: @BBCAmos",

            "input": "By Sean CoughlanBBC News family and education correspondent In secondary school science, England slipped from 8th to 14th - its lowest ranking in 25 years of the \"TIMSS\" tests, taken in 64 countries. Northern Ireland was ahead of England at primary maths in sixth place. Top places in maths and science have been won again by Singapore and East Asian countries including South Korea. Classroom behaviour The overall results show a strong link between safe, well-behaved classrooms and high achievement, say the organisers of the international tests. Head teachers' leader Geoff Barton said the dip in secondary science in England could reflect the difficulty that schools face in recruiting and retaining science teachers. The Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) are tests taken every four years, with 580,000 pupils, aged nine to 10 and 13 to 14, taking the latest round in 2019 - before the Covid pandemic. Secondary science: Year 9 (14. England 517, 8th in 2015, 9th in 2011, 5th in 2007) Scores are based from a midpoint of 500 points, so all of these top ranked countries are above average. Scotland and Wales did not take part and Northern Ireland only entered at primary level. England's eighth place in primary maths is the highest ranking since the round of TIMSS tests in 2007. But Northern Ireland stayed ahead at primary maths in seventh, although down one position from the previous tests in 2015. A long-term overview of England's test results, from the UCL Institute of Education, says that performance in maths has improved over the 25 years in which the tests have been taken - and the latest primary results have \"significantly improved\". Until this latest fall, England's performance in secondary science had \"remained broadly static\" since 1995, says the analysis. But it has now \"decreased significantly\". In those same years, countries such as Singapore and South Korea have made \"amazing\" progress, says Dirk Hastedt, executive director of the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement, which runs the tests with Boston College in the US. \"They have been improving, improving, improving,\" says Dr Hastedt about the East Asian countries that once again have dominated international education test results. Primary maths: Year 5 'Cultural' support for schools There are strong \"cultural\" factors driving the educational success of these East Asian countries, he says. Parents put a high value on their children performing well in school - and teachers are shown great respect, says Dr Hastedt. There is also a \"negative side\", he says, in terms of parents putting too much pressure on children to do well. Secondary maths: Year 9 (13. England 515; 11th in 2015, 10th in 2011, 7th in 2007) Across all countries, the analysis of results found a strong link between good behaviour and high achievement. Better results went alongside \"fewer school discipline problems and safer and more orderly school environments\". Pupils who faced bullying did much less well - and the study found about 6%-8% of pupils faced bullying every week. Out of top 10 for science The tests in England were taken by almost 10,000 pupils in 368 schools, in Years 5 and 9 - with results above average for maths and science, but behind the leading group of Asian countries. Primary science: Year 5 (12. England 537; 15th in 2015, 15th in 2011) (26. Northern Ireland 518; 27th in 2015, 21st in 2011) Tina Isaacs, part of the academic team analysing England's results, said the rise in primary maths was a \"success\" to be welcomed. But Dr Isaacs said the drop in science was \"disappointing\" - and researchers would have to examine what had happened. This would include whether it was linked to a decision from a decade before to end compulsory SATs tests in science. Now in 14th place, England has previously been in the top 10 for secondary-level science, reaching the top five in 2007. These tests were taken before Covid - and Dr Isaacs warned the gap between richer and poorer pupils, found in the results, was likely to have widened in the pandemic. An analysis by the National Foundation for Educational Research highlighted a lack of training in technology for primary school teachers in England, compared with other high-performing countries. School Standards Minister Nick Gibb said the \"strong performance\" in maths was a \"testament to the hard work of teachers and a reflection of the reforms we have put in place\". \"We know there is more to, including continuing to improve the quality of science teaching.\"",

But earlier this month, its president Kerry Kennedy said views expressed by Rowling recently \"diminished the identity\" of trans people. Rowling says Kennedy's implication that she is transphobic is \"incorrect\". What is the row all about? The Harry Potter writer sparked controversy in June for posting tweets which took issue with the phrase \"people who menstruate\". Rowling objected to the avoidance of the use of the word \"women\". In a lengthy blog post, Rowling said her interest in trans issues stemmed from being a survivor of abuse and having concerns around single-sex spaces. \"I respect every trans person's right to live any way that feels authentic and comfortable to them,\" she wrote. \"At the same time, my life has been shaped by being female. I do not believe it's hateful to say so.\" Several film stars from the Harry Potter universe distanced themselves from her comments, including Eddie Redmayne, Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson. What did Kerry Kennedy say? Earlier this month, Kennedy posted a statement online, which read: \"I have spoken with JK Rowling to express my profound disappointment that she has chosen to use her remarkable gifts to create a narrative that diminishes the identity of trans and non-binary people, undermining the validity and integrity of the entire transgender community. \"One that disproportionately suffers from violence, discrimination, harassment, and exclusion and, as a result, experiences high rates of suicide, suicide attempts, homelessness, and mental and bodily harm. \"Black trans women and trans youth in particular are targeted.\" She went on to say the organisation rejected Rowling's view that a person's gender is the one they were assigned at birth. \"From her own words, I take Rowling's position to be that the sex one is assigned at birth is the primary and determinative factor of one's gender, regardless of one's gender identity - a position that I categorically reject.\" How has JK Rowling responded? In a new statement published on her website, Rowling says she disagrees that \"there is no conflict between the current radical trans rights movement and the rights of women\". She noted that \"thousands of women\" had got in touch with her to show their support and called for a more nuanced debate. \"Clinicians, academics, therapists, teachers, social workers, and staff at prisons and women's refuges have also contacted me,\" she continued. \"These professionals, some at the very top of their organisations, have expressed serious concerns about the impact of gender identity theory on vulnerable adolescents and on women's rights, and of the dismantling of safeguarding norms which protect the most vulnerable women. \"None of them hate trans people.\" Explaining why she was returning the award, she added: \"I am deeply saddened that RFKHR [Robert F Kennedy Human Rights] has felt compelled to adopt this stance, but no award or honour, no matter my admiration for the person for whom it was named, means so much to me that I would forfeit the right to follow the dictates of my own conscience.\" Rowling has since received support online, and the hashtag #IStandWithJKRowling began trending on social media on Friday morning. \"There absolutely are conflicts between extreme transgender lobby demands and the rights of women and children,\" wrote journalist Sonia Poulton. However, others used the same hashtag to voice criticism of the author or call for more empathy towards the trans community. \"I can tell you from my experience that the way we choose to discuss trans people in public has a real impact,\" said journalist Paris Lees. \"Please dig deep and approach this subject - about real people - with caution and empathy.\" Previous recipients of the award Rowling has now decided to give back have included Barack Obama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu.

He wanted to go skydiving, wearing nothing except a harness, and play a couple of violin pieces on the way down. Armed with a A$50 (£30; $40) instrument, a bow and not much else, Mr Donnelly completed his feat in a tandem jump in New South Wales on Sunday. He played Happy Birthday during the freefall - a little celebration for himself. When the parachute opened, and he began to float, the violinist drew the opening strains of The Lark Ascending by English composer Ralph Vaughan Williams. \"It's this beautiful piece about a bird soaring in the air, and it was just perfect,\" he told the BBC. \"I played the opening cadenza for about a minute, where you're just slowly rising on the violin and it was just wonderful. \"When that parachute opened, I could just be free to play the violin… it was a feeling of total freedom.\" Playing for a cause Mr Donnelly, a classically trained violinist, took the plunge over the city of Coffs Harbour to raise awareness about body image issues among men. His own body anxiety troubles started at 18, when a fellow musician made a remark about his \"tubby\" stomach. \"I started silently sucking it in 24/7, creating a mental and physical prison in my body,\" Mr Donnelly said. He began suffering from body dysmorphic disorder, a condition that causes people to become obsessed with perceived defects in their appearance. It forced him to leave Britain in 2013, where he had been part of the London Symphony Orchestra. In the years since, Mr Donnelly has been recovering with help from a psychiatrist, and educating others about the disorder. He will divide money raised from his skydive between two charities and his own Nude Movement, which raises awareness about body issues. For him, being naked for the skydive was as important as the plunge itself. \"I felt as much fear and anxiety before the sky jump as I feel when I take off my clothes in front of other people - these jolts of fear and anxiety that I'm still working through,\" he said. \"I'm really proud of myself for completing the fall and for walking through that door of fear. \"It's been a journey for me to come from constantly judging myself from childhood to now, when I'm beginning to not only accept but celebrate myself.\" Reporting by the BBC's Frances Mao",

Douglas reveals abuse by team doctor In a statement to the court on Wednesday, Nassar said he was pleading guilty to \"move the community forward and stop the hurting\". \"I'm so sorry that this was like a match that turned into a forest fire, out of control,\" he said. \"I want them to heal. I want this community to heal. I have no animosity toward any one. I just want healing. It's time.\" \"You used that position of trust that you had in the most vile way - to abuse children,\" Ingham County Court Judge Rosemarie Aquilina said, noting that sex abuse is a nationwide \"epidemic\". \"You violated the oath that you took, which is to do no harm, and you harmed them. Selfishly.\" Many of his accusers testified that they were abused while he was examining the young athletes, and sometimes while their parents were nearby. He has been accused of abusing more than 130 women - including Olympic gold medalists Ms Douglas, Aly Raisman and McKayla Maroney - during his time as team doctor for the US women's gymnastics team. Ms Douglas, who was one of the so-called Fierce Five that won gold medals at the London Olympics in 2012, revealed her accusation on Instagram. \"I didn't publicly share my experiences as well as many other things because for years we were conditioned to stay silent and some things were extremely painful,\" she wrote. During the hearing Ms Raisman, a member of the 2012 and 2016 Olympic teams, tweeted that she was \"disgusted\" that Nassar, who lost his licence, was referred to as a doctor. Nassar's case was part of a scandal which saw USA Gymnastics president Steve Penny resign last year. Mr Penny was accused by victims of failing to quickly notify authorities about abuse allegations. In a statement after the plea deal was announced, USA Gymnastics - the organisation which determines the US Olympic team - said it is \"very sorry that any athlete was harmed\" by their former doctor. They added that it was \"important\" that he acknowledged \"his appalling and devious conduct\" in court and said the deal \"permits punishment without further victimisation of survivors\". Nassar has already pleaded guilty to multiple charges of child pornography in federal court and could face a maximum sentence of life in prison. Before accepting the plea, Judge Aquilina asked him to confirm that he did not wear gloves when abusing his victims between 1998 and 2015, when he was fired. The alleged examinations were \"not for any medical purposes is that right? It was for your own purpose, is that right?\", the judge asked. Nassar responded: \"Yes.\" He is due to be sentenced on 12 January.",

That victory in March was annulled after the AKP alleged irregularities. The result ends 25 years of AKP rule in Istanbul. The AKP's candidate, former Prime Minister Binali Yildirim, conceded to his opponent. On Twitter, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan wrote: \"I congratulate Ekrem Imamoglu who has won the election based on preliminary results.\" Mr Erdogan had previously said that \"whoever wins Istanbul, wins Turkey\". He has ruled the country since 2003 both as prime minister and now president, becoming the most powerful leader since Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the founder of the modern Turkish republic. In his victory speech, Mr Imamoglu, of the Republican People's Party (CHP), said the result marked a \"new beginning\" for both the city and the country. He said his supporters had \"fixed democracy\". \"We are opening up a new page in Istanbul,\" he said. \"On this new page, there will be justice, equality, love.\" He added that he was willing to work with Mr Erdogan, saying: \"Mr President, I am ready to work in harmony with you.\" With 99% of votes counted, Mr Imamoglu had 54% of the vote and Mr Yildirim 45%. The vultures are already circling for Mr Erdogan. His predecessor as president is preparing to launch a breakaway party, as is a former prime minister. That will bleed support from the president's now-declining voter base. As Mr Erdogan's authoritarianism has grown, his inner circle has shrunk. He does not have an obvious heir - his son-in-law, the current finance minister, has little of his charisma. The party Mr Erdogan founded and has built up could be crippled without him. Whispers will now grow louder about the beginning of the president's end. But even if it comes - and nobody here underestimates his ability to bounce back - unpicking a quarter of a century of Erdoganism would take far longer. Read more from Mark Who were the candidates? Mr Imamoglu, 49, is the mayor of Istanbul's Beylikduzu district but his name was barely known before he ran in the March election. Mr Yildirim was a founding member of Mr Erdogan's AKP and was prime minister from 2016 until 2018, when Turkey became a presidential democracy and the role ceased to exist. He was elected Speaker of the new parliament in February and before that served as minister of transportation and communication. Why was the previous result annulled? Mr Imamoglu's victory of 13,000 votes in March was not enough for Mr Yildirim to accept defeat. The ruling party alleged that votes were stolen and many ballot box observers did not have official approval, leading the election board to demand a re-run of the vote. Critics argue that pressure from President Erdogan was behind the decision. Why is Istanbul important? It is Turkey's largest city, with a population of 15 million, not far short of a fifth of the country's 80 million, and is also the nation's business hub. The lira, down 10% this year, rose on news of the result. Istanbul is also close to Mr Erdogan's heart - his political career rose there as his AKP took power in the city a quarter of a century ago and he himself served as mayor from 1994 to 1998. Istanbul accounts for just short of a third of Turkey's GDP. It has a $4bn (£3.14bn) municipal budget which spawns lucrative contacts. The AKP has now lost control of it. Part of Mr Imamoglu's campaign was to allege the squandering of public money by the AKP. Although less conservative as a whole than the AKP's rural heartland, Istanbul still has conservative districts such as Fatih, but Mr Imamoglu also won there and in Mr Erdogan's own childhood district of Beyoglu. Istanbul, Izmir and Ankara are all now in opposition hands. Jubilation on the streets By Cagil Kasapoglu, BBC Turkish, Istanbul Hundreds of supporters of Mr Imamoglu gathered in his stronghold, Besiktas. The cautious optimism that was prevalent during the early stages of vote counting gave way to a mood of total jubilation. Hopeful youngsters celebrated and proudly waved Turkish flags. Others held banners with pictures of Atatürk on them. Some even wore masks of Mr Imamoglu. Many of these young people have only ever known President Erdogan's AKP in government. For them, this is an opportunity to push for change across the country. \"Many young people desperately want to leave Turkey,\" Ayca Yilmaz, a 22-year-old university student told me. \"But now, we might consider staying here. We are hopeful once again.\"",

            "input": "By Jason PalmerScience and technology reporter, BBC News Renowned cosmologist Roger Penrose said that analysis of this cosmic microwave background showed echoes of previous Big Bang-like events. The events appear as \"rings\" around galaxy clusters in which the variation in the background is unusually low. The unpublished research has been posted on the Arxiv website. The ideas within it support a theory developed by Professor Penrose - knighted in 1994 for his services to science - that upends the widely-held \"inflationary theory\". That theory holds that the Universe was shaped by an unthinkably large and fast expansion from a single point. Much of high-energy physics research aims to elucidate how the laws of nature evolved during the fleeting first instants of the Universe's being. \"I was never in favour of it, even from the start,\" said Professor Penrose. \"But if you're not accepting inflation, you've got to have something else which does what inflation does,\" he explained to BBC News. \"In the scheme that I'm proposing, you have an exponential expansion but it's not in our aeon - I use the term to describe [the period] from our Big Bang until the remote future. \"I claim that this aeon is one of a succession of such things, where the remote future of the previous aeons somehow becomes the Big Bang of our aeon.\" This \"conformal cyclic cosmology\" (CCC) that Professor Penrose advocates allows that the laws of nature may evolve with time, but precludes the need to institute a theoretical beginning to the Universe. Supermassive find Professor Penrose, of Oxford University, and his colleague Vahe Gurzadyan of Yerevan State University in Armenia, have now found what they believe is evidence of events that predate the Big Bang, and that support CCC. They looked at data from vast surveys of the cosmic microwave background - the constant, nearly uniform low-temperature glow that fills the Universe we see. They surveyed nearly 11,000 locations, looking for directions in the sky where, at some point in the past, vast galaxies circling one another may have collided. The supermassive black holes at their centres would have merged, turning some of their mass into tremendous bursts of energy. The CCC theory holds that the same object may have undergone the same processes more than once in history, and each would have sent a \"shockwave\" of energy propagating outward. The search turned up 12 candidates that showed concentric circles consistent with the idea - some with as many as five rings, representing five massive events coming from the same object through the course of history. The suggestion is that the rings - representing unexpected order in a vast sky of disorder - represent pre-Big Bang events, toward the end of the last \"aeon\". \"Inflation [theory] is supposed to have ironed all of these irregularities out,\" said Professor Penrose. \"How do you suddenly get something that is making these whacking big explosions just before inflation turns off? To my way of thinking that's pretty hard to make sense of.\" Shaun Cole of the University of Durham's computational cosmology group, called the research \"impressive\". \"It's a revolutionary theory and here there appears to be some data that supports it,\" he told BBC News. \"In the standard Big Bang model, there's nothing cyclic; it has a beginning and it has no end. \"The philosophical question that's sensible to ask is 'what came before the Big Bang?'; and what they're striving for here is to do away with that 'there's nothing before' answer by making it cyclical.\" Professor Cole said he was surprised that the statistical variation in the microwave background data was the most obvious signature of what could be such a revolutionary idea, however. \"It's not clear from their theory that they have a complete model of the fluctuations, but is that the only thing that should be going on? \"There are other things that could be going on in the last part of the previous aeon; why don't they show even greater imprints?\" Professors Penrose and Cole both say that the idea should be shored up by further analyses of this type, in particular with data that will soon be available from the Planck telescope, designed to study the microwave background with unprecedented precision.",

The 25-year-old, who now wants to start a charity for the homeless, seemed in high spirits as he spoke to me before his trip. He explained: \"I want to connect with more homeless people and find out what they're experiencing and what really needs to be done to help them. \"I want to be more relatable to homeless people so I'm not just on an academic high horse, but someone who has actually done it as well. \"I feel what's needed is people who understand the services, but who also understand homelessness. I'm a bit nervous, but I'm excited as well\". However, when I caught up with him again several days later, his main emotion seemed to be one of anguish. He had made his bed in a narrow opening under a derelict part of a bridge by some railway tracks. The stench of human waste was potent. Far from the person I had previously spoken to, he seemed disjointed and depressed. He said: \"Now I'm just counting down the days to go home. I really do not like it. \"There's no comfort, there's no purpose, you're literally just surviving every day but it's like what for? Why bother? Where's this going? \"There's the paranoia, the cold, the wet, the noise, and it makes you too tired to do anything. It's been very grim.\" Jonathan said he could see why people found it difficult to get back on their feet after becoming homeless, and that the constant struggle for comfort leads to craving escapism. \"Many people are ashamed of being homeless and that just erodes your self esteem over time,\" he said. \"Not being able to get a proper wash anywhere, it just stops you wanting to talk to people and go to appointments that are necessary for sorting your life out\". Homeless in Scotland Homeless charity Shelter Scotland estimates there are about 5,000 people sleeping on Scotland's streets every year. According to the Scottish government's figures in June, the number of homeless applications rose for the first time in nine years. They showed applications to local authorities rose by 1% to 34,972 between 1 April 2017 and 31 March 2018. In response, the Scottish government said it was committed to ending homelessness and rough sleeping for good. We arranged to meet again, this time at 04:30. But on arrival it was clear he had managed to snatch some rare sleep. As he came round the reality of waking up homeless became clear. \"Hey! Hey! Hey!\" he shouted. \"Oh my gosh, where? No! No! Please! Please!\" Once he realised he was safe, he explained of his reaction. \"It's the fear that you might get mugged because you're not behind a locked door,\" he said. 'Significant impact' \"If you hear some people chatting they could just be friendly students, but to you it could be someone who's coming to rob you. It really is quite scary. \"At the end of this I get to go home, but they don't.\" We met one last time as his time on the streets neared its end. The social policy, health and housing student's lasting hope is that those in authority will study how other countries and cities deal with homelessness, in an effort to benefit everyone. He explained: \"I'm feeling quite tired and emotional. \"It's a lot to process. I just want to get rested up and hopefully I can make some significant impact to the homeless scene in Britain.\"",

Lee says he is a \"sucker\" for animated films because it's easier to be transported to, and immersed in, the worlds they create. \"Animation is so free to create their own premise, have that premise elevate the story they want to tell,\" he explains. \"Because of that it's so easy to disarm myself and let the story take me over.\" Overall, two types of emotional storylines kept cropping up in fans' replies, he says. \"One is crying over a character dying, either because they've grown so emotionally attached to that character and it's heartbreaking, or they'll share a personal story about how they lost someone close to them,\" he says. One user got in touch to tell him he was particularly moved by Coco because his own grandmother had recently died. (The grandmother in Coco is pivotal to that film's emotional punch.) Best and worst of humanity \"The other common trait I saw were films that were based on real history,\" Lee says. \"You had Schindler's List, Life Is Beautiful, Sophie's Choice, Saving Private Ryan, Grave of the Fireflies… \"There are a lot of historical films that show the darkest chapters of human history [and] that really gets to people. \"And when it comes to the darkest chapters of human history, that's when you see the worst of humanity but you also see the best of humanity, so it's both devastating but really moving as well. You're not quite sure if you're crying sad tears or happy tears.\" Many of the films unsurprisingly involve (spoiler alert) death or departures in one form or another. The other top picks ranged from female-led 1980s dramas Terms of Endearment, Beaches and Steel Magnolias to 2019's Avengers: Endgame, which had its fair share of gut-wrenching moments amid the superhero action. Lee believes his original tweet touched such a nerve partly because of the current coronavirus lockdown. \"My only theory is I touched on the zeitgeist of how everyone's feeling at the moment,\" he reflects. \"Everyone is way more isolated now, and there are a lot of folks out there who are alone in this lockdown. \"Perhaps this thread got a lot of people to want to just reach out and connect with others, and the current atmosphere has allowed people to open up with more personal stuff.\" Follow us on Facebook, or on Twitter @BBCNewsEnts.

Final draft guidelines by the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) recommend Botox when other drugs have failed. The Migraine Trust said it welcomed the decision. Migraines are extreme headaches that often come with nausea and being very sensitive to light or sound. To have chronic migraines, a patient must have headaches on at least 15 days a month, eight of which have to be migraines. NHS funding? Botox was approved as a treatment for chronic migraine in the UK in 2010, and NICE is now considering whether the NHS should fund it. In February, it said there was insufficient evidence and asked the manufacturer, Allergan, to provide more proof. Now it believes that Botox should be used in some patients. Prof Carole Longson, the director of the health technology evaluation centre at NICE, said: \"Chronic migraines are extremely debilitating and can significantly affect a person's quality of life. \"We are pleased that the committee has been able to recommend Botox as a preventative therapy for those adults whose headaches have not improved despite trying at least three other medications and whose headaches are not caused by medication overuse.\" The final guidelines are expected in June. NICE estimated the cost to the NHS would be £349.40 for every 12-week cycle of treatment. 'Safe and effective' Exactly how the neurotoxin prevents migraines is unknown. It may work by blocking pain signals or relaxing muscles. Wendy Thomas, the chief executive of The Migraine Trust, welcomed the recommendation by NICE. She said: \"Chronic migraine is a disabling condition and in many cases ruins people's lives. \"For patients who suffer from this condition, Botox may offer a safe and effective preventative treatment option to help them manage their migraine and improve their quality of life.\" Dr Fayyaz Ahmed, chair of British Association for the Study of Headache, said: \"The headache experts with first-hand experience in treating chronic migraine know how debilitating the condition can be for some patients, and Botox can be a life changing treatment. \"We are pleased that NICE has recommended Botox for those who have failed to respond to first-line treatments.\"",

Two Americans, a Swiss and a Dutch national were hit by a car in Danghara, south-east of the capital Dushanbe. The attackers then stabbed their victims. Two other foreigners were injured. Earlier on Tuesday, Tajikistan's interior ministry said that a man suspected of leading the attack was an active member of the Islamic Renaissance Party of Tajikistan (IRPT), which was outlawed three years ago. Exiled leaders of the IRPT denied any link to the attack, saying the authorities were trying to use the incident for political purposes, Reuters reports. Tajikistan's government banned the IRPT in 2015, accusing it of planning a coup. The video released by IS shows five young men seated under a tree in a mountainous area with the IS flag in the background, BBC Monitoring reports. One denounces the rulers of Tajikistan as \"apostates\", who \"sold their religion\" and allowed the country to be occupied by \"unbelievers\". They later join hands and swear loyalty to IS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, before pledging to attack \"unbelievers\". The identity of the men and whether it was they who carried out the attack cannot as yet be verified. IS efforts in Central Asia By Mina Al-Lami, BBC Monitoring IS isn't known to have a presence in Tajikistan. However, the group has had members from the country, and from other Central Asian states. Tajik authorities have in the past arrested alleged IS recruiters or sympathisers. In May 2015, a former member of Tajikistan's special OMON police unit, Gulmurod Khalimov, pledged allegiance to IS and migrated to territory held by the group. This was flaunted in an IS-linked video in an effort to inspire others in Tajikistan to follow his example. In February 2018, IS said its attacks in Russia and former Soviet countries had entered a new phase, inciting sympathisers to attack Christians in \"the Caucasus, Crimea, and Central Asia countries\". \"The current stage\", said IS via its weekly newspaper al-Naba, \"does not require groups with big numbers of trained fighters, nor heavy weapons. Rather, it requires a mujahid to use whatever weapon he can get his hands on\" to attack. Such attacks, it said, would instil fear in Christians and prompt them to leave these countries. Following Monday's attack, four suspects were killed by authorities in a special operation, the interior ministry said. Another four were arrested, and a damaged car believed to have been involved was recovered. An amateur video which appears to be of the attack captures the moment a car is driven into unsuspecting cyclists. According to Tajikistan's interior minister, three of the tourists died instantly and one on the way to a nearby hospital. \"One had knife wounds, he received medical help, now his condition is stable,\" Ramazon Hamro Rahimzoda told reporters. The victims were on a tour in the Central Asian country with three other tourists from France, the Netherlands and Switzerland.

Officials said 80% of landline phones have been working since last month, but many people do not even have landline connections. Users on social media expressed relief at being able to get in touch with family and friends in and out of Kashmir after more than two months. Dr Syed Zahoor Geelani in Ganderbal district said his mobile service began to work at noon local time on Monday. \"My first call was to my wife but I couldn't get through at the time because her provider hadn't restored services yet,\" he told the BBC. \"But my relatives in Hyderabad were able to call me and I spoke to them,\" he added.

The government's decision to revoke Kashmir's special status sparked protests in the Muslim-majority valley, some of which turned violent with incidents of stone-throwing being reported from various districts. But the government has maintained that the region has been largely calm.

So, as the team prepares to face Colombia, Newsbeat looks back at what was going on 12 years ago. And it wasn't just the action on the pitch that has changed. It was supposedly England's golden era but it wasn't just the players who were the stars. In 2006, the media was almost as interested in the WAGs - the wives and girlfriends. Tabloids followed the likes of Cheryl Tweedy (as she was then) and Victoria Beckham as they went shopping and partied at the World Cup. Rio Ferdinand later described it as a circus. \"It was like a theatre unfolding and football became a secondary element. People were worrying more about what people were wearing than the games,\" he said. Players' partners were then banned for much of the 2010 World Cup. Back then, the England manager was a silver-haired Swede. Sven-Goran Eriksson was the first foreign manager to take charge of the England team, spending five years at the helm. Despite a good run with the side, Eriksson's private life was followed closely by the tabloids. He was in a relationship with an Italian lawyer but it came out that he'd been having an affair with the television presenter Ulrika Jonsson. Sven stepped down after the World Cup, saying there was too much circus around his private life. But what about away from football? 2006 was also the year that the hugely popular Australian naturalist and television presenter Steve Irwin died. He was killed by a stingray during a diving expedition off the Australian coast. Disney's hit movie, High School Musical, launched Zac Efron's career, led to three sequels, number one albums and paved the way for TV musicals like Glee. As well as singing along to Breaking Free, we were also dancing to Maneater by Nelly Furtado. The song spent three weeks at number one. Other hits at the time included Hips Don't Lie by Shakira and I Wish I Was A Punk Rocker by Sandi Thom. Keane and the Kooks were also top of the album chart. The Nintendo Wii was released in November of 2006, giving the world the Nunchuck and warnings about injuries from over-enthusiastic playing. At the time, its biggest competition was the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3. As well as playing on the Wii, you were probably using your phone for calling and texting rather than watching the latest box set. Prime Minister Tony Blair announced he'd step down the following year. He quit in 2007 after spending ten years in the job. This made him Labour's longest serving Prime Minister.

Shelling and the deaths of several more people were reported by both sides on Tuesday. Each blames the other for the upsurge in violence. It erupted despite an attempt to renew a ceasefire last month. Ukrainian forces say the outbreak began when rebels launched an attack on Avdiivka, which borders land controlled by the separatists. Seven soldiers and a number of rebels have been killed in recent days, and there have been civilian casualties on both sides but precise numbers are unclear. Bread queues For several hours 200 coal miners were trapped underground on Tuesday when shelling cut power at a pit in the rebel-run area of Donetsk. Engineers at Zasyadko eventually managed to get generators working and started bringing the miners back to the surface. \"Everything is going bad,\" a resident in Avdiivka told the BBC. \"People are scared and try to go out. It's very cold. There are bread queues. Only a few shops are open,\" said the woman, who identified herself as Nadiya. On Tuesday, the head of the Kiev-appointed administration, Pavlo Zhebrivsky, said plans were being made for an evacuation of residents. More stories from Ukraine: \"As of now, we can evacuate up to 8,000 people in the course of the day. The region's towns are ready to receive up to 9,000 people,\" he was quoted as saying by Interfax news agency. The population of the town is uncertain but is believed to range between 16,000 and 22,000. Officials say the evacuation will go ahead if the fighting escalates further. About 10 tonnes of food will soon arrive in the city, they add. Why is Avdiivka key? Anastasiya Gribanova, BBC Ukrainian Recaptured from pro-Russian rebels in 2014, Avdiivka is a key stronghold for the Ukrainian army which it is desperately trying to retain. The town is close to rebel-controlled Donetsk and important roads and intersections used by the rebels to transport machinery and ammunition. Just as important is the town's coking and chemical plant - the biggest of its kind in Europe. If it fell into rebel hands it would cut much-needed supplies to Ukraine's steel industry. The renewed violence coincided with President Donald Trump's first phone-call with Russian President Vladimir Putin since he took office. The government in Kiev fears it may lose US support during Mr Trump's presidency. According to the Kremlin, Mr Trump and the Russian leader agreed to a \"partner-like co-operation\" on issues including Ukraine. While Ukraine accuses rebels of starting the violence, Russian government spokesman Dmitry Peskov on Tuesday blamed government forces. \"Such aggressive actions, supported by the armed forces of Ukraine, undermine the aims and the task of realising the Minsk accords,\" he said on Tuesday. A ceasefire was agreed in Minsk in February 2015 but there have been frequent violations. The latest truce began on 23 December. More than 9,700 people have died since the conflict erupted in 2014, as Russia annexed Ukraine's southern Crimea peninsula, and pro-Russian rebels later launched an insurgency in the east. The US and EU imposed sanctions on Russia in response to its actions in eastern Ukraine. Russia has denied backing the rebels.",

The university's vice-chancellor, Prof Hugh Brady, said: \"To have a student death from any cause is a real tragedy, to have a number in quick succession really tears at the very heart of our institution and our mantra now is mental health is everybody's business at our university.\" English student Ben was in his first year and had been falling behind in his studies and missing lectures. His parents, who met with Ben on the day of his death, said they had no idea he was struggling. Mr Murray said: \"We had a very nice lunch, he didn't eat that much but I told him that I loved him, kissed him and said goodbye and that was the last I saw of him.\" If you are affected by these issues please contact the Samaritans on the free helpline 116 123, or visit the website.",

Friend and comedian Ken Dodd said she was \"a lovely, lovely writer\", while Jean Boht, who played Nellie Boswell in Bread, said \"she loved everybody\". Lane was also hailed as a \"champion of animal welfare\". Much of Lane's writing focused on women's lives and featured frustrated housewives and working class matriarchs. 'Great observer' She first became known for The Liver Birds, a sitcom about two women who shared a flat in Liverpool, which she co-wrote with her friend Myra Taylor. The programme aired from 1969 to 1979 and returned for a one-off series in 1996. Your tributes: 'The world has lost an irreplaceable jewel' She was perhaps best known for the sitcom Bread, which depicted the working class Boswell family struggling through high unemployment and poor prospects in the late 1980s Liverpool, and ran for seven series between 1986 and 1991. Actress Jean Boht, who played Bread's matriarch Ma Boswell, said she was \"dynamic, beautiful, she looked 16 all the time always and loved her animals, more than us I think, and you know she loved everybody\". 'Comedy force' Melanie Hill, who played Aveline in the series and starred in long-running school TV drama Waterloo Road, tweeted: \"Very sad to hear #CarlaLane has left us. Writer and creator of many fantastic shows.\" Fellow Liverpudlian Dodd said Lane was \"a great observer\" who absorbed the humour of the people of Liverpool. \"She was a wonderful, a true modern comedienne writer, but as well as that, you know, she left a wonderful legacy of happiness and proving that once again ladies can be just as funny as men.\" Emmy Award-winning comedy writer Simon Blackwell, who has worked on series including The Thick of It, said she was \"a prolific talent\". \"Her masterpiece, Butterflies, unlike anything that had come before in British sitcom,\" he tweeted. Mark Linsey, director of BBC Studios, said: \"Carla Lane was a supremely gifted writer of bitter-sweet family comedies, loved by generations. \"Her legacy is extraordinary. Our thoughts are with her family and friends at this time.\" Comedy writer and radio DJ Danny Baker tweeted a \"real comedy mind and force\" had left the planet. Lane was awarded an OBE for services to writing in 1989 but returned it to the then Prime Minister Tony Blair in 2002 in disgust at animal cruelty. In 1995, she was given a Royal Television Society award for her Outstanding Contribution to British Television. In later life, she became known for looking after hundreds of rescue animals - running an animal sanctuary from her mansion in Horsted Keynes, Sussex, until 2009 - and was a close friend of Sir Paul McCartney's late wife Linda. Speaking to the Observer in 2008 about their friendship, Lane said she and Linda were \"friendship-struck from moment one\" and bonded over their love of animals. Lane also had an animal sanctuary named after her. 'Darling Carla' Fran Ellis, founder and trustee at the Carla Lane Animals in Need Sanctuary in Melling, Merseyside, paid tribute to a \"champion of animal welfare\". Lane's family confirmed she died at Stapely Care Home on Tuesday \"With heavy hearts we said goodbye to our darling Carla today,\" they said. \"But with smiles on our faces we also take this opportunity to reflect on her incredible achievements all of which make us so unbelievably proud to be part of her family.\"",

Nicola, 60, from Morecambe, was due to fly to Canada on Monday to visit her daughter Philippa, and three-year-old granddaughter Martha. It would have been the first time she had seen Philippa since she suffered her own trauma: Philippa's partner, Tom, died in a white-water-rafting accident last year. But her hopes of seeing her family were dashed on Monday morning when Canada brought in a 72-hour ban on flights from the UK. \"I just wanted to go away where we could make new memories,\" said Nicola. \"I haven't seen Philippa since Tom drowned, and she's having such a hard time so far away from her family with a lockdown. \"She was trying to work from home with a three-year-old, with no family within thousands of miles. \"She was so looking forward to just having her mum there.\" Canada is one of several countries to have banned arrivals from the UK because of concerns about the spread of a new variant of coronavirus. Nicola said this year had been \"horrendous\", and when she woke up to the news of the travel ban she was in \"disbelief\". Christmas Day will be exactly five months after Steve's death, so she was looking forward to getting away to somewhere she hadn't spent the festive season before. Nicola also hasn't seen her granddaughter since she was a baby - so the Christmas trip was going to be an extra special time for the family. \"I speak on Facebook Messenger to her but it's not the same,\" Nicola said. \"She doesn't really know who I am, but she's been getting excited for grandma coming.\" It's not yet clear when the UK travel ban to Canada will be lifted - or whether Nicola will be able to rebook her flight. \"You come so far and then it's taken away again,\" she said. \"If there's a flight on Christmas Eve I'll go. But nobody knows what's going to happen\". Nicola is one of many people who have had their plans to go abroad for Christmas disrupted at the last minute. Canada, India, Denmark, France, the Netherlands, the Republic of Ireland, Italy and Austria are some of the more than 40 countries that have blocked UK arrivals. British man Nick Kennedy, who lives in France, was looking forward to sharing Christmas with his parents who were due to travel there from Swindon on Tuesday. \"We don't get enough time together as a family, so we wanted to make the most of it.\" he said. \"We want our son to spend as much time as possible with his English grandparents. \"It's a big disappointment as a family. All I can hope for is that the borders reopen very, very quickly. We've got to wait until Tuesday to see if there's any possibility of movement before Christmas. \"Many people, including my family, don't believe the borders will be open.\" Les Banks Irvine was due to fly back to the UK from Monrovia in Liberia - where he works - to spend three weeks with his family this Christmas. But when he turned up at the airport on Sunday he was told at the check in-desk: \"Sorry, because you're going to the UK, you can't go.\" \"I was hoping to be spending some time with my two children and three grandchildren in mid-Wales, but it now looks like I am stranded here in Monrovia,\" he said. \"I've been here for about nine months this year. I last saw my family at the end of August. \"I know its difficult times for everyone, but I do wish national air carriers would keep us informed.\" Maria Kovacsova, who is from Slovakia but lives in London, is due to fly home to see her family on Christmas Eve - but her trip is looking unlikely now. \"I have spent so much money on a private Covid test in order to go home,\" she said. \"I haven't seen my family for a year. My heart is broken. \"I was last at home a year ago. I couldn't go after that because the big lockdown started in March. I had to work as well. \"I'm going to do nothing for Christmas.

The couple own a pet transport company and had arrived in the UK on Friday to deliver pets from Spain. They were due to pick up other customers' pets from the UK and travel back with them to Spain on Tuesday. But their plans are now up in the air. \"We have no information as to when and how we will get to Spain,\" said Gary. \"Customers who are ready to fly to Spain are now having to decide what to do with their pets as we cannot guarantee when we can leave.\" The couple are unable to stay with family as Gary's relatives live in Ireland and Abigail's family are in Covid high-risk groups. \"The hotel we're in at the minute doesn't know for definite if they're open on Christmas Day,\" said Gary. \"We have our own pets in Spain that are being minded by a neighbour. \"We've been lucky to get a hotel room.

The second asks whether the user trusts them on a five-point scale ranging from \"not at all\" to \"entirely\". Some journalists have complained that the questions over-simplify matters, but the social network has said it will combine the results with other data. \"Trust is one among many signals,\" the firm's head of news feed, Adam Mosseri, tweeted. \"[It] only applies for publishers for which we have enough data, so it doesn't yet [affect] most publishers. \"I understand that some people may baulk at how simple a survey is, but complicated surveys can be confusing and bias-signal, and meaningful patterns can emerge from broad surveys,\" he added. He acknowledged, however, that the social network should have \"done a better job\" explaining its plans when it announced last week that it was to start prioritising articles from publications that a sample of US-based users had rated trustworthy. Too simple? Facebook's move is part of a wider effort to address complaints about so-called \"fake news\" and propaganda being spread on its platform. However, when Buzzfeed revealed the brevity of its survey, the social network faced a fresh backlash. \"Hard to view Facebook news survey as anything other than yet another attempt to shirk responsibility for the integrity of its service,\" tweeted Chris Williams, deputy business editor of the Telegraph newspaper. Recode's Rani Molla posted: \"I've filled more robust surveys at fast food restaurants.\" And Bloomberg's Sarah Frier wrote: \"This is kind of like a brand awareness survey... trust in news is much more complicated. How well-sourced is the article? Are other sites verifying it? Is it news or analysis?\" But others have been more forgiving. The Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism asks its own trust-focused questions as part of an annual review into the digital news industry. The report's author said there was a risk that the new survey might simply encourage Facebook to favour long-established brands at the cost of their digital-born rivals, but he added that he expected the outcome to be more nuanced. \"The power of the survey is not the two questions, but how Facebook can combine the answers with the other information it already has,\" Nic Newman told the BBC. \"Like what news sources you use, what interests you have in politics - all these things will produce a huge amount of very rich data about trust in different contexts. \"But we need more transparency from Facebook about how it plans to use the data because there will be consequences to whatever decisions it takes.\"",

            "input": "By Sandy MurrayBBC Scotland news From many angles, it is little different from many of those near it in a small community in Ayrshire. But the technology which powers it draws energy from as far as 400ft below the ground - or, thanks to an impressive solar device beside the house, directly from the sun. This house is home to Jamie Davidson, who built it with a determination to minimise its impact on the environment. Much of the design is directed towards reducing heat loss from the building. \"At the outset I was very focused on what technologies I could use to generate heat and electricity in a sustainable way,\" he explains. \"I was quickly told that the focus should be on insulation, insulation and more insulation. \"The amount of time that we spent putting in the insulation and the insulated plaster board and making sure with the foam gun that we filled up every hole and paying the extra money for the triple glazing was really the most important thing. \"If you're not losing heat, you don't need to generate it.\" Jamie sees the house as a way of applying principles from his work on a domestic scale. He is a chartered accountant in Johnston Carmichael's renewable energy team, and much of activity is in financing sustainable energy projects such as wind farms. Established with the support of subsidies, he believes they are now established, reliable solutions. \"For example, take a wind farm project just shy of 50 megawatts and the capital cost of an equivalent project now is round about 50% of what it was in 2012. \"That's why these projects can now stack up. We need to go through the same process with the emerging technologies and give them the support they need so that they can bring their costs down to be on a par with onshore wind turbines.\" His work also includes looking at the case for technologies which Jamie hopes will become established in future. The key, he says, will be the efficient storage of energy. \"I'm working on a report looking at the feasibility of using hydrogen coming from a community wind farm, sending it to an electrolyser and that being used to make hydrogen so you can power hydrogen ferries. \"That's particularly relevant for the islands where there's lack of capacity on the grid and a lack of interconnector.\" The technology Jamie uses at home may eventually become mainstream for any new house. The most dramatic statement that Jamie's house isn't just like any other is a \"solar flower\". This large array of cells follows the sun across the sky, maximising the electricity it can generate. \"The solar flower has solar panels that are almost like the petals of the flower and they collapse at night or when it's too windy there's an anemometer when the wind speed gets up to 10m/s it collapses for safety. \"It's plugged into the clock and it knows when the sun rises and it folds open and it tracks the sun. \"It's always at the optimal angle and that makes it 40% more efficient than having solar panels which are only facing in one direction.\" But a key part of how energy is used efficiently is buried under the house. A ground source heat pump draws on fluid which circulates 400ft below. Jamie says installing the necessary infrastructure for it was a significant piece of engineering. \"Two bore holes 131m deep. To put that in context, it's 147m to sea level. \"There was a drilling rig on site before any foundations were in place, for two weeks, to drill these holes.\" The fluid being pumped round the system isn't warm - typically it is about 8-9C. That is exactly what the heat pump needs. \"It requires a constant temperature rather than a hot temperature,\" says Jamie. \"It takes that constant temperature and puts it through a compressor and converts it to 65C. \"How that's done is mind-boggling.\" The heat produced is used for domestic hot water and to supply a network of underfloor heating pipes. Although power is required to operate the heat pump system, much more usable energy comes out than is put in. Now settled in the house, Jamie says he is very happy with the way things work. \"You always have to have one eye on the weather and what the weather is going to be like. \"For example, if I'm expecting it to be sunny - even if it's not hot outside - the next day, then I know this house will heat up very quickly from solar gain so I don't need to have the temperature quite as high. \"Now that I'm very familiar with the control settings I'm just getting better at getting that balance. \"It's very, very comfortable to live in.\"",

He must serve at least 12 and a half years before being eligible for parole. Judge Gregory Dickinson, said he was \"devious, manipulative and highly dangerous to women\". Lawrance committed three attacks months after marrying his wife who he met via the site. Updates on this story and more from Derbyshire The assaults took place between June 2011 and November 2014 in Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, Northamptonshire and Cambridgeshire. 'Enjoyed rape' Lawrance, a self-employed builder, was found guilty on Wednesday of five counts of rape, one count of attempted rape and one count of sexual assault following a two-week trial. Sentencing him, Judge Dickinson said: \"I am compelled to the dreadful conclusion that you enjoyed raping women. \"After these terrible crimes you acted as if nothing had happened. \"Given the chance you will rape again. I do not know when it may be safe to release you into the community.\" The court heard Lawrance's parents and three children were \"devastated\" by his convictions, however his wife is standing by him. During the trial, jurors were told Lawrance used two pictureless profiles - keepitstraighttoday and straightmanlooking - to contact several thousand women, but was keen to talk to them offline. Derbyshire Police began investigating in November 2014 after officers received a call from a woman who said her friend was raped by Lawrance. Officers found that in June 2011 he drove a woman down a remote country lane near Crick in Northamptonshire and raped her in the back of his van. Two years later he sent a woman a message saying \"Boo! xx\" 24 hours after attempting to rape her at her house in Spalding, Lincolnshire. The jury was told he had consensual sex at a woman's house in Buxton, Derbyshire, in November 2013, but the following day raped her despite her \"screaming hysterically\". He then sent her a text message reading: \"When you were crying out for me to stop I couldn't, I'm so mad at myself xxx\" and another saying \"I was disgusted with myself for hurting you. I am so sorry. I am too rough for you xxx xx\". A year later, in 2014, he raped two women in hotel rooms in Leicestershire and Cambridgeshire. 'Preyed on women' Judge Dickinson said Match.com and police could learn lessons from the case after it came to light that four victims had previously reported his behaviour to the website but his profile was not removed. Police said they hoped the case would get safety messages across for people using online dating sites. Det Ch Insp Allison Rigby, from Derbyshire Police, said: \"Jason Lawrance is a prolific, serial rapist who preyed on women.\" Police said he contacted women who were divorced or widowed, and many were lonely and vulnerable. During the trial it also emerged Lawrance was arrested by Lincolnshire Police in 2013 after one of his victims reported she had been raped at her home. He was released on bail after officers said they had \"insufficient evidence\" to charge him. Det Supt Rick Hatton from the force said they were constantly improving how they investigated rape and sexual offences, and said the case against Lawrance was strengthened once more victims came forward. A Match.com spokesman said the company had the \"most heartfelt concern\" for the victims and it had a \"zero tolerance policy\" for reports of serious offences. The firm said it had been unable to initially remove Lawrance's profile because the abusive messages had been sent outside their website. Their statement said members were encouraged to communicate within the site where they have the technology to \"spot unacceptable behaviour\".",

            "input": "By Mark WardTechnology correspondent, BBC News The hole is the global shortage of skilled staff that keeps security hardware running, analyses threats and kicks out intruders. Currently, the global security industry is lacking about one million trained workers, suggests research by ISC2 - the industry body for security professionals. The deficit looks set to grow to 1.8 million within five years, it believes. The shortfall is widely recognised and gives rise to other problems, says Ian Glover, head of Crest - the UK body that certifies the skills of ethical hackers. \"The scarcity is driving an increase in costs,\" he says. \"Undoubtedly there's an impact because businesses are trying to buy a scarce resource. \"And it might mean companies are not getting the right people because they are desperate to find somebody to fill a role.\" While many nations have taken steps to attract people in to the security industry, Mr Glover warns that those efforts will not be enough to close the gap. Help has to come from another source: machines. \"If you look at the increase in automation of attack tools then you need to have an increase in automation in the tools we use to defend ourselves,\" he says. 'Drowning' in data That move towards more automation is already under way, says Peter Woollacott, founder and chief executive of Sydney-based Huntsman Security, adding that the change was long overdue. For too long, security has been a \"hand-rolled\" exercise, he says. That is a problem when the analysts expected to defend companies are \"drowning\" in data generated by firewalls, PCs, intrusion detection systems and all the other appliances they have bought and installed, he says. Automation is nothing new, says Oliver Tavakoli, chief technology officer at security firm Vectra Networks - early uses helped antivirus software spot novel malicious programmes. But now machine learning is helping it go much further. \"Machine learning is more understandable and more simplistic than AI [artificial intelligence],\" says Mr Tavakoli, but that doesn't mean it can only handle simple problems. The analytical power of machine learning derives from the development of algorithms that can take in huge amounts of data and pick out anomalies or significant trends. Increased computing power has also made this possible. These \"deep learning\" algorithms come in many different flavours. Some, such as OpenAI, are available to anyone, but most are owned by the companies that developed them. So larger security firms have been snapping up smaller, smarter start-ups in an effort to bolster their defences quickly. 'Not that clever' Simon McCalla, chief technology officer at Nominet, the domain name registry that oversees the .uk web domain, says machine learning has proven its usefulness in a tool it has created called Turing. This digs out evidence of web attacks from the massive amounts of queries the company handles every day - queries seeking information about the location of UK websites. Mr McCalla says Turing helped analyse what happened during the cyber-attack on Lloyds Bank in January that left thousands of customers unable to access the bank's services. The DDoS [distributed denial of service] attack generated a huge amount of data to handle for that one event, he says. \"Typically, we handle about 50,000 queries every second. With Lloyds it was more than 10 times as much.\" Once the dust had cleared and the attack was over, Nominet had handled a day's worth of traffic in a couple of hours. Turing absorbed all the information made to Nominet's servers and used what it learned to give early warnings of abuse and intelligence on people gearing up for a more sustained attack. It logs the IP [internet protocol] addresses of hijacked machines sending out queries to check if an email address is \"live\". \"Most of what we see is not that clever, really,\" he says, but adds that without machine learning it would be impossible for human analysts to spot what was going on until its intended target, such as a bank's website, \"went dark\". The analysis that Turing does for Nominet is now helping the UK government police its internal network. This helps to block staff accessing dodgy domains and falling victim to malware. Mayhem and order There are also even more ambitious efforts to harness the analytical ability of machine learning. At the Def Con hacker gathering last year, Darpa, the US military research agency, ran a competition that let seven smart computer programs attack each other to see which was the best at defending itself. The winner, called Mayhem, is now being adapted so that it can spot and fix flaws in code that could be exploited by malicious hackers. Machine learning can correlate data from lots of different sources to give analysts a rounded view of whether a series of events constitutes a threat or not, says Mr Tavakoli. It can get to know the usual ebbs and flows of data in an organisation and what staff typically get up to at different times of the day. So when cyber thieves do things such as probing network connections or trying to get at databases, that anomalous behaviour raises a red flag. But thieves have become very good at covering their tracks and, on a big network, those \"indicators of compromise\" can be very difficult for a human to pick out. So now cybersecurity analysts can sit back and let the machine-learning systems crunch all the data and pick out evidence of serious attacks that really deserve human attention. \"It's like the surgeons who just do the cutting,\" says Mr Tavakoli. \"They do not prep the patient, they are just there to operate and they do it very well.\" Follow Technology of Business editor Matthew Wall on Twitter and Facebook Click here for more Technology of Business features",

            "input": "Danny ShawHome affairs correspondent@DannyShawBBCon Twitter They have volunteered to become firearms officers, a role that comes with no extra payment but huge responsibility. Dressed in black police uniforms, and wearing goggles and ear defenders, they stand in a row, 10m (33ft) from a line of cardboard targets. A police instructor bellows at them to get ready. Seconds later, gunfire echoes around the building. After each time they fire, the officers check the targets, plugging the holes where the bullets have gone with different coloured markers, to see if their aim is improving. It is a deadly serious business. Like many other forces, Northamptonshire Police, part of a joint armed policing unit in the East Midlands, needs more firearms officers. The latest official figures, for 2015, show the number across England and Wales fell to 5,647. Research for BBC Radio 4's File on 4 programme shows this is the lowest level since at least 1987 - the year Michael Ryan shot dead 16 people in Hungerford, Berkshire. And, after the attacks in Paris by gunmen last November, it became clear to senior officers they would not have enough firearms officers to deal with a similar strike in Britain. 'Replicating' Paris attacks Deputy Chief Constable Simon Chesterman ran exercises for the National Police Chiefs Council (NPCC) \"replicating\" what had happened in Paris. \"Although we had some capability, we certainly lacked the capacity to respond effectively,\" he says. As a result, the Home Office has agreed to fund 1,000 extra firearms officers for a period of five years. Another 500 are being funded by local forces themselves - from within their existing budgets. In Scotland, there are no firm plans to increase the number - they have 275 at present. The Home Office says many of the new firearm officers will continue to carry out \"core policing\" roles, reducing the need to \"backfill vacancies\". But Che Donald, from the Police Federation, which represents constables, sergeants and inspectors, is concerned the recruitment exercise will create a \"gap\" in the front line, as armed officers transfer from neighbourhood policing and CID. \"There isn't a magic pot we can just dip into and pull out a fully trained firearms officer,\" he says, pointing out that to take on 1,500 armed police, you need 3,000 to start with, because half drop out or do not pass the course. Even with the extra numbers, there are doubts they could be deployed quickly enough to repel marauding gunmen. Chris Phillips, head of the government's national counter terrorism security office until 2011, says the further away from city centres, the longer the response times. He believes many of Britain's energy and power plants - part of the critical national infrastructure - are vulnerable because they are \"dotted around the coast\" or in harder to access rural areas. Once police have got there, the gunmen may have moved on. \"You can get to the first scene of the incident, but that may not actually be where the terrorists are,\" says Mr Phillips. Simon Chesterman, from the NPCC, acknowledges the difficulties of mobilising armed units quickly, but says police would have support from the ranks of 3,000 firearms officers in the Ministry of Defence Police and the Civil Nuclear Constabulary. Britain's armed forces would also play their part, says Mr Chesterman, possibly helping to move officers by helicopter and making soldiers available. \"If an event like this was to happen, you would expect special forces to deploy,\" he says. \"And following the event, it may well be that we'll request further military support from other military units.\" Stray bullet risk Mr Chesterman tells me that, under current plans, police would not be using fully automatic firearms to confront gunmen - even if the attackers were armed with machine guns. He says there is too great a risk that if officers had automatic weapons, which can fire up to 800 rounds a minute, they would hit innocent people. Kevin Hurley, who until this month was Surrey's Police and Crime Commissioner, agrees stray bullets are a \"danger\", but says using single-shot firearms is a \"flawed\" approach. \"We're talking now about murder gangs armed with machine gun-type weapons,\" says Mr Hurley, an army reservist, who used to head the City of London police counter-terrorism unit. \"You have got to stop [them] immediately, and you've got to fire more bullets back at them so that you can move forward, otherwise you yourself will be killed.\" Find out more Listen to Danny Shaw's report for File on 4 at 20:00 on Tuesday, 17 May, or Sunday, 22 May, on BBC Radio 4, or catch up later on the BBC iPlayer. The terrifying prospect police might be involved in a firefight with suicide bombers or gunmen has also prompted a debate about how such incidents would be investigated. At present, police who shoot someone have to be able to show their actions are consistent with human rights laws. Each bullet they fire must be \"absolutely necessary\" in the circumstances. But Peter Squires, professor of Criminology at Brighton University and author of three books on armed policing, says justifying why firearms officers used lethal force could prove impossible for them in the chaotic aftermath of a marauding gun attack. \"Officers are going to be wide open to challenge every time they fired a shot,\" he says. Hungerford massacre: Sarah Green, deputy chair of the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC), accepts it would be \"very challenging\" to carry out an inquiry into a terrorism incident in which police had fired many shots at a number of different targets. In virtually all police shootings it currently investigates - which are themselves extremely rare - no more than a handful of shots are fired at one or two people. That could be very different in a marauding gun attack. \"We're not going to be marching in there and insisting that we start investigating in the middle of an ongoing situation,\" Ms Green says. But, she adds, the IPCC still has a duty to conduct an inquiry and cannot just say, \"We won't bother,\" because it would be tricky. Even if hundreds of bullets have been discharged, the IPCC must understand what a firearms officer was thinking when they fired. \"We will be asking officers to provide accounts about the whole of their actions and why they did it,\" says Ms Green. \"It will come back to... what the officer's honestly held belief was at the time.\" Legal protection review The Home Office is now examining the legal protection for armed police, as part of a review ordered by Prime Minister David Cameron after the Paris attacks. It is believed to be looking at the police practice of \"conferring\" - under which officers can pool their recollections of a serious incident, such as a shooting, when they write up their notes - following calls by the IPCC and the families of some of those who have died at police hands to stop it from happening. The IPCC wants officers separated after a shooting until they have compiled their detailed account of what went on. The review, which is shrouded in secrecy, is also considering police concerns about the IPCC's approach after 28-year-old Jermaine Baker was shot dead by a Metropolitan Police firearms officer in Wood Green, north London, in December. In a highly unusual move, the watchdog set up a \"criminal homicide\" investigation and arrested the officer. He is currently suspended while the inquiry continues. Mr Chesterman says firearms officers are watching the case closely, amid concern they will be \"automatically\" suspected of wrongdoing if they shoot someone. \"There is a risk and a danger that as things develop, we may get less volunteers and that troubles me,\" he says. The new recruits at Northamptonshire are warned - as are others elsewhere - they face intense scrutiny and many months, possibly years of investigation, if they do open fire. At the moment, it does not appear to be deterring them from taking on the role. There are still plenty of armed police volunteers - but that can change quickly.",

            "input": "By Megan LaneBBC News Magazine In medieval times, many Europeans cooked, ate, slept and socialised in one big room. By the start of the 21st Century, the average British home had 5.34 rooms, according to 2001 Census figures. Whether this has gone up or down will become clear when 2011's UK census forms are analysed. Centuries ago, there was no such thing as a kitchen, a living room or a bedroom for anyone but the rich. There was a central hearth for warmth and to cook food, with straw-filled pallets laid on the floor for sleeping. Over time, walls went up to divide the home into specialised areas - new rooms evolved, partly down to technology, but also to our changing attitudes to privacy, cleanliness and class. Today, down the walls come again. Central heating and extractor fans mean we no longer need walls to keep heat in and cooking smells out. And one room is heading for extinction, or at least being indistinguishable, says Lucy Worsley, curator of Historic Royal Palaces - the living room. \"We've passed the peak of the proliferation and specialisation of rooms which happened in the Victorian age: billiard rooms, morning rooms, parlours, studies. It was a use of space that's no longer affordable. \"The trend now is like a return to medieval living. I live in an open-plan flat with one central space. I use it for cooking, for eating, for watching TV - the modern equivalent of storytelling by the fire - and guests sleep on my sofa.\" While some homes are designed to be open-plan - or are made over that way - in many new-builds there are more, but smaller, rooms, according to a study by Mike Roys of the BRE (Building Research Establishment). \"New properties are likely to have more rooms - en suite, cloakroom, study, utility,\" he says. LIVING ROOM Aristocrats had living rooms in the Tudor period. Middling people started to get them in the 17th Century, and in the 18th Century everybody aspired to having a room purely for best. The concept of taste had arrived. Tours of stately houses took off, and architects such as Robert Adam put out lavish catalogues of clocks and ceiling roses for the mass market. \"The living room only developed in its own right when people have the cash to splash, the leisure time to invest in a space for sitting around,\" says Worsley. \"It's like a stage where you perform your life for the benefit of your visitors.\" Even in Victorian workers' cottages, the inhabitants added decorative touches like fringing, net curtains and ceramic knick-knacks to the one room in which they cooked, ate, worked and socialised. \"You see an awful lot of keeping up with the Joneses in living rooms, whether through soft furnishings in the 1600s, new means of heating and lighting - gas and electricity - for 19th Century trendsetters, or the gadgets of today.\" Average living room size has been falling since 1975, says Roys, as builders whittle away space to make room for en-suite bathrooms, utility rooms and studies. \"All of these are extra rooms because we are being told that that is what people want in a modern detached property.\" BEDROOM Once communal, today the bedroom is a private retreat. \"In medieval times, your main concerns were to be warm and safe, so it was delightful to be in with other people. Since then we've seen a trend toward privacy, which started with the rise of reading,\" says Worsley. \"In Tudor houses we get funny little rooms called closets off the bedrooms, for praying, reading and finding solitude. \"The closet died out in English houses, but it went across the Atlantic with the Pilgrim Fathers. Today, American houses still have closets - private rooms for storing valuables. Carrie, in Sex and the City, kept her shoes in her closet, with her hopes, her dreams. That's a very Tudor thing to do.\" KITCHEN Once purely functional, the kitchen has been changed into a social space. In medieval times, it was the central hearth, the heart of the home. \"Then, in the 17th Century, you get this new concept of disgust,\" says Worsley. \"Once there was a slight surplus of food available, people began to turn their noses up at certain foods and certain smells.\" So kitchens were moved away from living areas, to keep the smell of cooking away from the noses of diners. Grand Georgian houses had the space to shift the kitchen into a separate wing. In Victorian cities, space was at a premium and kitchens were pushed down into dingy basements. \"It's in the 20th Century that it returns to being a family space. The invention of the extractor fan is very important, it allows the kitchen and dining room to be one with clean air,\" says Worsley. \"And the 1980s sees the rise of the foodie - someone who loves food and cooking, and who finds the smell of bread baking, or chicken roasting, a big part of being at home. \"For others, the kitchen is meaningless - it's a place for eating the takeaway you ordered online. It has become another place to show off.\" BATHROOM The youngest room in the house, it has only become a separate room in the past 100 years. \"People didn't used to think that going to the loo was a private matter. Samuel Pepys, in 17th Century London, had a 'closed stool' - a velvet-covered seat that stood over your chamber pot - that he was very proud of. He kept his in his drawing room,\" says Worsley. At Hampton Court, built in Tudor times, there is a communal toilet called \"the great house of easement\", where 14 people could relieve themselves at the same time. \"It's not the technology that set the pace - the flushing toilet was invented in Elizabethan times, but it didn't really catch on for centuries,\" says Worsley. In part this was because of the cheapness of labour - why plumb in water when a servant could take away your full chamber pot? Our attitudes to cleanliness changed over time too. Once it was feared that bathing allowed germs to enter the skin; and the Victorians frowned on baths as rather degenerate. \"It really only became positive to wallow in a bath in the 1920s thanks to Hollywood, when people saw film stars drinking cocktails and talking on the telephone in a bubble bath,\" says Worsley. And that set the tone for aspirational bathrooms ever since. \"Today the bathroom has the quality of the closet. People meditate in the bath. It's the one room in the house with a lock on the door. The one room you can be undisturbed by the rest of the family, and have a solitary moment.\"",

He was also criticised for not complying with quarantine rules when he arrived in Ireland from Brussels. Mr Hogan said he did not break any law but he \"should have been more rigorous\" in adherence to the Covid guidelines. In a resignation statement, the outgoing commissioner said he regretted his trip to Ireland had \"caused such concern, unease and upset\". \"I reiterate my heartfelt apology to the Irish people for the mistakes I made during my visit,\" he added. On Tuesday, Mr Hogan provided details to the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, about his time in Ireland leading up to his attendance at the Oireachtas (Irish parliament) Golf Society event. After arriving in the Republic of Ireland on 31 July, Mr Hogan said he travelled to his temporary residence in Kildare and tested negative for Covid-19 on 5 August during a hospital visit. He had told Irish state broadcaster RTÉ he had not breached regulations and argued the test result meant he was \"not under any subsequent legal requirement to self-isolate or quarantine\". Ireland's Department of Health has said a person is required to restrict their movements for 14 days if they arrive into Ireland from a country not on the green list. It said the guidance does not state that a negative Covid-19 test shortens the 14-days requirement. The leaders of the Republic of Ireland's governing coalition had said the commissioner had clearly breached guidelines and he should have restricted his movement for 14 days. They said he should also have limited his movements to and from Kildare for essential travel only, and he should not have attended the golf dinner. Following news of the resignation, Taoiseach Micheál Martin, Tánaiste Leo Varadkar and Green Party leader Eamon Ryan said it was \"the correct course of action given the circumstances of the past week\". \"We all have a responsibility to support and adhere to public health guidelines and regulations,\" a joint statement continued. European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen said she was grateful for Mr Hogan's \"tireless work as a trade commissioner\". \"He was a valuable and respected member of the college,\" she said. \"I wish him all the best for the future.\" #GolfGate Mr Hogan - who would have been leading the EU's post-Brexit free trade negotiations with the UK - had been facing calls to quit in the wake of #GolfGate, as it has become known in Ireland. The now infamous golf dinner was attended by a host of high-profile figures from Irish political life. The controversy surrounding it has already cost the jobs of Agriculture Minister Dara Calleary and Jerry Buttimer, deputy chairman of the Irish senate. The event took place the day after the Irish government changed its guidelines in the face of an increasing number of Covid-19 cases, with numbers allowed at indoor events cut from 50 to six, with some exceptions. James Sweeney, from the Station House Hotel where the event was held, told RTÉ he had checked with the Irish Hotels Federation to ensure the event complied with regulations. He said he was told it would be, if the guests were in two separate rooms, with fewer than 50 people in each. Gardaí (Irish police) have said they are investigating what happened at the dinner.",

Born George Jamieson in Liverpool in 1935, she underwent gender reassignment surgery in Morocco in 1960 and went on to have a successful modelling career. Ms Ashley said she did not think she \"was doing anything special, so to be suddenly awarded this is astonishing\". Bella Jay, director of transgender charity Sparkle, said Ms Ashley had \"played an important role in bringing issues into the public eye and campaigning for equal rights\". Ms Ashley's divorce in 1970 from Arthur Corbett made the headlines when the judge ruled that despite her surgery she remained a biological man and therefore the marriage was invalid and annulled. The ruling ended the hopes of any transsexuals marrying until 2004 when the Gender Recognition Act allowed people to legally change gender. Ms Ashley had joined the Navy at 14 but felt isolated and attempted suicide. She moved to Paris in the 1950s and started dressing as a woman, before finding success as a performer at Le Carrousel nightclub. She underwent experimental gender reassignment surgery in 1960 in Casablanca, despite being told by the doctor there was only a 50/50 chance of survival. After returning to England and becoming a model, she was outed as a transsexual by the Sunday People in 1961, which she said had left her \"humiliated in front of the world\". 'Astonishing' Ms Ashley was made an MBE in this summer's Queen's Birthday Honours list for her work. She said that for over half a century she had \"been writing to people and helping people and I've written thousands and thousands of letters\". \"Strangely enough although it was transgender, it was also gay and lesbian [people writing to me] and women desperate for divorces,\" she said. \"To me it was just a normal thing to do - I never thought I was doing anything special quite frankly, so to be suddenly awarded this is astonishing.\" Ms Jay, who organises the annual Sparkle event in Manchester, said the former model had \"faced many struggles in life, which perhaps people don't really understand in the more tolerant and open society in which we live today\". \"Achieving real transgender equality is a big issue for many people in modern Britain, but all too often it either fails to gain any real publicity or is misunderstood,\" she said. \"I congratulate April on the award which recognizes her achievements and again helps bring the issues facing the trans-community into the public eye.\"",

Opposition calls for a re-run of the presidential election were rejected by the Constitutional Council last week. Riot police were deployed on Sunday to the major cities of Yaoundé and Douala in case of opposition protests. Cameroon's two English-speaking provinces have been hit by more than a year of violent protests and attacks by separatist rebels which have left hundreds dead. Two days before results were announced, Africa's longest-serving President Teodoro Obiang Nguema of neighbouring Equatorial Guinea congratulated Mr Biya on his win. Mr Biya's nearest challenger, Maurice Kamto of the MRC/CRM, gained just 14.2%. Mr Biya took the majority of votes in all but one of Cameroon's 10 regions, losing out to Mr Kamto by a small margin in the Littoral region which is home to the economic capital, Douala. Across the country, only half of Cameroon's voting-age population took part in the polls. Tens of thousands of people were unable to cast their votes because of insecurity. Threats of violence made against would-be voters by rebels in the Anglophone regions reportedly deterred many from casting their ballot. On election day, three separatists who were accused of opening fire on passers-by were shot dead by security forces. Some rebels also tried to disrupt the transporting of ballot boxes by calling for a total ban on all travel. Voter turnout in the country's two Anglophone regions was as low as 5%, according to the International Crisis Group. Official figures give an almost 16% turnout in the English-speaking South-West region. Witnesses have told AFP news agency they heard gunfire on Monday morning in Buea, the capital of the English-speaking South-West region. Cameroon's electoral body Elecam also reduced the overall number of polling stations across the Anglophone North-West and South-West regions, and moved some others from turbulent zones to more secure areas. Seats reserved for opposition representatives at the constitutional council were left empty as the results of the 7 October presidential election were read out, the BBC's Randy Joe Sa'ah reports from Yaoundé. In the days before the results were published 18 petitions calling for the election to be re-run were lodged by opposition members, some alleging fraud, at the Constitutional Court, the body responsible for announcing the results, before the results were announced. Among those calling for a fresh vote were President Biya's two main challengers - Mr Kamto and Joshua Osih of the main opposition SDF/FSD. Mr Kamto went as far as declaring himself the winner of the polls despite producing no evidence to prove this. Election observers from the African Union reported that the polls were \"generally peaceful\" but added that \"most parties were not represented\" when it came to who was allowed to oversee voting and ballot counts at polling stations. The only other group to send monitors was the International Organisation of La Francophonie (OIF), whose head urged candidates and stakeholders to do their part in preserving peace and use legal channels in any challenges to the results (in French). False claims were made on Cameroon's state-owned television that Transparency International had deployed international observers, forcing the Germany-based campaign group to issue a statement denying them. Cameroon's parliamentary and legislative elections were due to take place at the same time as the 7 October presidential elections but have been postponed to 2019.",

Project manager Andrew Winson said: \"I would like to thank everyone involved... for their patience on what is the hottest day of the year so far.\" The bridge was built off-site and lifted into place from the carriageway by remote-controlled lorries. Another weekend closure will take place at the end of the year to demolish part of the old bridge.",

            "input": "By Nick EardleyBBC political correspondent Mr Salmond - and others - have made a number of allegations against the government and against Nicola Sturgeon herself. So, what were the key questions, and how did she answer them? 1. Did she break the ministerial code? This was the most serious allegation for Ms Sturgeon. Mr Salmond had said he believed Ms Sturgeon definitely broke the code. Her political opponents say if she did, she would have to quit. The allegations focus on when she found out about the Scottish government investigation into Mr Salmond. She initially claimed it was 2 April 2018, but since then another meeting on 29 March, when it's claimed she was told the details, has emerged. This isn't just a matter of a few days. If Ms Sturgeon knew what the second meeting was about, she would have known it was government business and she should have reported it to civil servants at the time. That didn't happen. Mr Salmond has said Ms Sturgeon is guilty of several breaches of the code in relation to these meetings. What did Nicola Sturgeon say? She told the committee that the fact that she did not remember the 29 meeting had been the subject of comment and scepticism and she wished her memory of it was \"more vivid\". The first minister said she recalled that it may have been indicated \"in general terms\" there was a harassment issue but the purpose of the meeting was to arrange for her to see Mr Salmond himself. Ms Sturgeon said that what she heard on 2 April in the dining room of her home was so significant that it may have \"obliterated\" what came before. She said Mr Salmond's account to her of his \"deeply inappropriate behaviour\" is a \"moment in my life that I will never forget\". The first minister said she did not record the meeting with Alex Salmond on 2 April immediately because she did not want to compromise the independence or the confidentiality of the process. Ms Sturgeon said the terms of the procedure excluded her from any investigation into a former minister and she should not even have known an investigation was under way. In her view, any undue influence on the procedure would have been more likely to arise if those conducting the investigation had been informed that she knew about it. 2. Was there a plot against Alex Salmond? Mr Salmond believes there was a malicious and concerted plot against him from several people close to Nicola Sturgeon - including her husband, who is the SNP's chief executive, and her Scottish government chief of staff. The evidence, Mr Salmond has claimed, shows there was a deliberate effort to damage his reputation \"even to the extent of having me imprisoned\". Much of this evidence Mr Salmond refers to, however, has not yet been published, so we don't know for sure how strong it is. But he told the committee last week he had been given a memory stick in the run-up to his criminal case, where he was cleared of all charges. Mr Salmond claims it shows senior allies of Ms Sturgeon \"pressurising police\". He also alleges there was \"construction of evidence\" and \"collusion of witnesses\". What did Nicola Sturgeon say? Ms Sturgeon said the suggestion that anyone acted with malice or as part of a plot against Alex Salmond was \"absurd\". She argued there was \"not a shred of evidence\" to support Mr Salmond's claims and she had \"no motive, intention, (or) desire\" to conspire against him. Ms Sturgeon said text messages between leading SNP figures - including her husband - were not evidence of a plot. She said they had been taken out of context and were \"not as presented\". 3. Has there been a cover up? The Scottish government has been criticised for failing to provide all the documents the committee asked for. On Tuesday, legal advice was made available under the threat of a confidence vote against Ms Sturgeon's deputy, John Swinney. Another question is why the documents Mr Salmond believes show a conspiracy were not published earlier. The straight answer is that they were provided to him for his legal case - which means they can't be used for any other reason. But the committee now has them after compelling the Crown Office to hand them over. There was a colossal row last week when part of Mr Salmond's evidence to the committee was taken down from the parliament's website. It contained some of the most damning allegations against Ms Sturgeon and claims she misled parliament. Parts of the document were withdrawn after the Crown Office - Scotland's prosecution service - said extracts were in contempt of court and could identify Mr Salmond's accusers. Mr Salmond has claimed the lines between the government and Crown Office have become blurred - something the Lord Advocate has said is untrue. What did Nicola Sturgeon say? Ms Sturgeon said it had been a complex matter and the government had provided information in a proper way. The first minister says, for different reasons, she shared a lot of the frustration. She said when information is not provided there is \"a lot of mystique and intrigue\" built up, which proves not to be the case when it is released. Ms Sturgeon said many of the things said about the legal advice proved not to be true. 4. Has Scotland's leadership failed? Alex Salmond wants resignations. He has said the government's Permanent Secretary Leslie Evans should resign and that the head of the Crown Office - the Lord Advocate, James Wolffe - should be considering his position. Mr Salmond argued Scotland's institutions hadn't failed - but their leadership had in this case. He even left the door open to Ms Sturgeon having to resign herself - saying it was for others to judge if she should quit. That's a damning conclusion from the man who led the Scottish government for seven years. Ms Sturgeon will be asked if he's wrong - and is likely to mount a passionate defence of her government. She has also made clear she is sticking by her permanent secretary and the Lord Advocate - as well as the others who Mr Salmond has said should be thinking about their position. What did Nicola Sturgeon say? The first minister said there were serious mistakes made by the civil service. \"But the civil service in Scotland acts properly and impartially at all time,\" she said. Ms Sturgeon said attacks on the civil service and the prosecution service were unfair and deeply unfounded. She said there had been an attack on \"the very fundamentals of our democracy\", which she finds \"deeply distressing\". 5. What went so wrong with the harassment policy? This is a big part of the committee's remit. They are trying to find out what led to the introduction of a policy which Mr Salmond successfully challenged in court. It's been argued the policy was introduced too quickly and failed everyone involved; Mr Salmond and those who accused him of harassment. It's widely accepted this was a big mistake from the government. What did Nicola Sturgeon say? The first minister said organisations all over the world were reviewing their policies at that time due to the #metoo movement. Ms Sturgeon said gaps and weaknesses in the existing policies were identified and they were keen to address them quickly but they did not cut corners. She said the harassment policy had not failed but it had not been properly followed in Alex Salmond's case. The Scottish government conceded the judicial review on the ground that their had been \"prior contact\" between the independent investigating officer and those who had made harassment complaints. 6. Did the government waste taxpayer money? The Scottish government initially defended the harassment policy in the face of Mr Salmond's legal challenge. On Tuesday night it finally published its legal advice, which shows concerns were raised by the senior counsel - an external legal adviser - in October 2018. In December, external lawyers said the least worst option would be to admit defeat. The case wasn't conceded until January 2019. This has raised questions over whether the government should have made that decision earlier - and potentially saved a lot of money in the process. What did Nicola Sturgeon say? Ms Sturgeon said that every time a government defends a legal action it is risking public funds. She also insisted the government had not prolonged its defence of the investigation and had acted in accordance with the views of the law officers. Ms Sturgeon said that on 11 December the law officers' view was there was no question or need to drop the case. But she agreed the note on the 19 December was \"catastrophic\" and led to the ultimate concession. The first minister insisted she was acting in accordance with the views of the law officers. 7. Did her government leak sensitive information? Mr Salmond claimed in his evidence that the name of one of the complainants was revealed during the government investigation. On Tuesday night, that claim was backed up by two witnesses. Revealing the name would be a significant breach of confidentiality. What did Nicola Sturgeon say? Replying to the claim that a senior member of Ms Sturgeon's team revealed the name of the complainant to Mr Salmond's former chief of staff, the first minister said: \"I am not accepting that that happened.\" She said her assumption was Mr Salmond had previously apologised to one of the women and may have worked out another's identity \"through his own investigations\". Challenged about details of the investigation being leaked to the Daily Record newspaper in 2018 - the first public confirmation of allegations against Mr Salmond - Ms Sturgeon said it \"didn't come from me, or anyone acting on my instruction or request\".",

The inquiry had recommended more public money for parties to reduce their reliance on \"big money\" donations. Controversy about donations and loans has affected all three parties. In a written statement, Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg said the three parties had held seven meetings on the issue in 2012 and 2013, to no avail. \"I am disappointed that, as on previous occasions, there has been no agreement between the three parties on beginning party funding reform. \"Although it is now clear that reforms cannot go forward in this Parliament, I hope that the principles explored can inform further discussions on this topic and that the parties will then return to this issue after the next election.\" Funding controversies A Lib Dem source claimed talks had broken down because Labour would not move on trade union funding, while the Conservatives would not make concessions on big donations. UK political parties are funded from a combination of membership subscriptions, donations, union money, loans, and public funds. There are no limits on donations, but the name of anyone who gives more than £7,500 to a party is made public. There have been a series of funding controversies over the years - from the cash-for-honours investigation and the tax status of one of the Conservatives' biggest donors - Lord Ashcroft - to the Lib Dems' acceptance of a £2.4m donation from the company of a convicted fraudster. Previous talks were also abandoned in 2007 because parties could not agree. Mr Clegg said the government would push ahead with \"sensible and necessary improvements to the controls on third parties which campaign at general elections\" to make sure they were \"fully transparent and not allowed to distort the political process\". Big money There are limits on party campaign spending in the run-up to general elections of up to £30,000 per seat - or £19.5m overall, if all 650 Westminster seats are contested. The government also wants tighter controls of money spent by third parties like trade unions and campaign groups in general election campaigns. It emerged in June that it planned to include new restrictions in a bill to introduce a lobbyists' register - leading unions to accuse the coalition of exploiting a recent lobbying scandal to try to bring in new curbs on their political influence. The independent Committee for Standards on Public Life recommended in 2011 that political parties should get an extra £23m of taxpayers' money, to reduce their reliance on \"big money\" donations. It also recommended a £10,000 annual cap on individual donations, including those from trade unions, from 2015. UK political parties spent £31.1m at the 2010 general election.",

Welsh MPs face a recall to parliament on Wednesday to hear tributes to Baroness Thatcher. Government buildings in Cardiff flew flags at half-mast following her death. Nick Bourne, the former leader of the Conservatives in the assembly, speaking on BBC Radio Wales, said he met Baroness Thatcher in about 2003 and discussed the changes that she had brought about in society. \"I put it to her that her changes domestically meant that the Labour Party had to confront itself and make changes to the way they operated,\" he said. \"They were unelectable in the 1980s and she effectively had made them electable. She agreed with that. She said: 'Yes, that's my fault'. \"It's hard to think there would have been Tony Blair without Margaret Thatcher, perhaps put it that way. Her reach was such that she changed the scene completely, domestically, and forced other political parties to look at their agenda as well. \"We look around and it's still very much Margaret Thatcher's Britain that we live in today.\" On the other side of the political spectrum, former first minister and Cardiff West MP Rhodri Morgan said she was a \"lucky\" prime minister. \"It's an extraordinary coincidence that she has passed away on the very day that the coalition government has started to cut back on the welfare state that she helped to create with this over-generous passageway from unemployment benefit onto sickness benefit,\" he said. \"This happened just as I had become an MP in the late 1980s when they had to massage the unemployment benefit figures down. \"The way of doing it was a one-way valve into sickness benefit, disability benefit and, of course, while North Sea oil was available to pay for that, fine and dandy. \"She was a lucky prime minister in that regard, but now 30 years later the coalition is having to try and reverse that and get people off sickness, the disability benefit, back onto unemployment benefit because the North Sea oil has run out.\" Her industrial legacy in Wales, particularly the coal mining communities of the south Wales valleys, has drawn much debate. Sir Deian Hopkin, a historian of the labour movement, told BBC Radio Wales that she had failed to mitigate the impact on those communities. \"If the intention was to transform the industry by bringing in Ian MacGregor from the British Steel corporation - famous for cutting jobs - if the intention was to cut jobs and reduce the industry... the challenge is how do you actually protect the communities from the impact and it's that bit that was missing,\" he said. \"There was no serious strategy to try to produce alternatives to what was going on in the mines and that I think is the consequence that we now face.\" The Welsh Conservatives' board added: \"Margaret Thatcher was a leader of courage and conviction who transformed the British economy for the better and increased our standing in the world.\" Tributes from Baroness Thatcher's political opponents include former Labour leader Lord Neil Kinnock who said he recognised and admired her \"great distinction\" as the first woman prime minister. But in a tribute recorded before her death he also described her political legacy as an \"unmitigated disaster for Britain\". He said she was \"fortunate in her enemies\" in the likes of Arthur Scargill, the miners' leader, while her \"judgement wasn't fully working\" in bringing in policies like the poll tax. On Monday, Welsh Labour First Minister Carwyn Jones said Baroness Thatcher's \"place in the history books is assured\" as a \"major force in British political life who undoubtedly had a significant influence on the political, social and economic landscape in Wales and the UK\".

Figures show 231,722 people waiting more than 36 weeks for treatment to start - nearly 44% of all on the list. The number grew after most non-urgent treatment was postponed in March to prepare the NHS for Covid patients. But NHS Wales has been trying to carry on with non-emergency treatments, although the second wave has led to routine surgery being postponed in some hospitals due to pressures, such as Wrexham Maelor and in one health board in south Wales. The Royal College of Surgeons said the overall number of people waiting for treatment in Wales is the highest number on record - more than half a million patients. How many people are now waiting? So we can now see that by November: Welsh Government targets state 95% of patients should be treated within six months and nobody should wait longer than six months. New measures for A&E performance Along with waiting times figures, the Welsh Government is now publishing three new \"experimental\" performance measures for A&E departments, for December: No targets have been set in relation to these measures and the Welsh Government said they were set with input from front-line emergency care staff. New experimental measures of performance 59,050 patients seen across A&E units 17minutes average wait, time to triage 75minutes average wait, time to see clinician 42.6%no follow-up required 26.5%patient admitted to hospital The current target is 95% of patients should spend no longer than four hours in A&E, but this has never been met since it was introduced in 2010. The waiting times for A&E in December showed 70% of patients were seen, transferred or discharged within four hours. There were 6,386 patients who waited more than 12 hours, even though the targets state nobody should have to wait that long. This is 1,593 more patients than the month before. Other figures show: The Royal College of Surgeons called the figure \"staggering\" and \"devastating\" and called on Wales' seven health boards to start planning \"for the recovery of surgery in Wales\". \"There are more than half a million people on the waiting list overall,\" said Mr Richard Johnson of the college. \"For many patients, a corrective operation is the best way to relieve debilitating pain and get people back up on their feet, back to work and enjoying life again. \"Health Boards must start planning now for the recovery of surgery in Wales. We are calling on Welsh Government to urgently implement a clear strategy to eliminate the backlog, supported by sustained investment.\"",

            "input": "Gordon CoreraSecurity correspondent, BBC News@gordoncoreraon Twitter Inside MI5 headquarters at Thames House, Andrew Parker concedes it is a strange time to be leaving the organisation he has led for the last seven years. Like other organisations, the Security Service has had to rapidly adapt to a new, unexpected world in the last few weeks since the coronavirus pandemic hit. The priority has been to maintain its operations so that the emergency services can focus on Covid-19. \"At this time - maybe even more than normally - it is vital that the nation's national security machine is working so that the national emergency we are in now isn't further complicated or compounded by other events,\" Mr Parker says. The corridors of Thames House may be quieter than normal but Mr Parker is careful not to provide too many details about how working patterns have changed. \"You'll understand if I don't go into exactly the ways in which we are working - what shape we are in. But MI5 is at work in a whole variety of ways flexibly operating to do our job.\" A number of qualified medical staff including doctors and, nurses who usually work at MI5 have been released back to the NHS so they can serve on the front line. MI5 has also been providing protective security to the design and construction of the new Nightingale hospitals. Threats remain although with some changes. \"Some of the people we are most concerned about as potential sources of threat in this country are of course themselves under the lockdown arrangements and so their movements are restricted. That makes a difference to behaviour but does not eradicate the threat,\" Mr Parker says. The death toll on individual days from coronavirus has often exceeded the total number of Britons killed by terrorism since 2001, and Parker acknowledges that this may change how politicians prioritise different risks. \"There is no doubt at all that having lived through the worst pandemic in a century the government is bound to think differently about how to configure against that risk and adjust the dials accordingly across public spending, I'm sure. But all of those decisions are yet to be taken.\" 'One of the worst moments of my life' The July 2005 attacks were the pivotal moment for MI5 when four men from the UK detonated devices on the transport system. Mr Parker was then the director of counter-terrorism. \"I had one of the worst moments of my life realising that something like that was happening by seeing it on the rolling news on the TV on the wall in my office,\" he recalls. \"For years afterwards, I had pinned on my notice board in my office the photos of all the victims.\" The attacks led to significant changes in how the UK confronted terrorism which, he says, paid off when a plan which aimed to outdo 9/11 was stopped the following year. A group of UK-based plotters who planned to bring down seven airliners over North American cities using liquid explosives were arrested. \"It remains the biggest, most serious terrorist plot there has been in modern history,\" Parker says. Parker became head of MI5 in 2013 and in 2017 a series of attacks rocked the UK. In two cases, London Bridge and Manchester, those responsible had been under investigation by MI5, leading to criticism from subsequent inquiries. What went wrong? \"I've been asked that a lot,\" Parker says. \"It's the right question. It's a reasonable challenge….we are every day having to position resources according to the fragments of knowledge we have….I don't deride these questions because we ask them of ourselves. After every attack, we do an internal review in order to learn these lessons.\" MI5 has now taken the lead on far-right terrorism and remains active in Northern Ireland. But threats from other states have also become more prominent, with attempts to use disinformation and social media, notably by Russia, to sow discord. \"A thing we and the other [intelligence] agencies need to have as a modern-day priority is to defend our democratic systems from interference by foreign states,\" Mr Parker says. However, he said he had seen no evidence that Russian interference had an impact in the Brexit referendum. China has moved into focus recently. Much of the relationship may be economic but MI5 deals with the \"sharper edges\" of cyber espionage and intellectual property theft, according to Parker who says he was 'comfortable' with the advice of the intelligence agencies to allow Chinese company Huawei a limited role in the UK's 5G telecoms network. Asked about reports that some in government believed there should be a \"reckoning\" with China over its failure to be sufficiently transparent about coronavirus, he said that was a political decision for the UK going forward. As he prepares to leave an organisation he joined in 1983, Mr Parker says the biggest change he has seen is over who MI5 employs. There were few people from black or other ethnic minority backgrounds when he began and, in particular, rules meant anyone who was gay would not have been allowed to work there. That policy was only changed in the early 1990s, a quarter of a century after homosexuality was decriminalised. \"It must have caused all sorts of hurt to people. And that has to be a matter of regret and shame for all us,\" Mr Parker says, the first time an MI5 head has acknowledged its past failings on this issue. \"It does feel a bit odd stepping away in a crisis rather than in a calmer time,\" Parker says of his departure, but adds that there will be no leaving party since MI5 is determined to keep to social distancing rules so that the NHS can do its job on the front-line.",

            "input": "By Jamie CoomarasamyBBC World Service, Yekaterinburg \"Manchester United! Barcelona! Real Madrid! Younaya!\" The boys limbering up on Plotinka embankment in Yekaterinburg yell out the names of their favourite football teams. They play for Younaya, in case you're wondering. But this Saturday morning, they are on team Roizman. They're among several dozen woolly-hatted joggers braving sub-zero temperatures, to join the city's new mayor - Yevgeny Roizman - on his weekly run. He arrives on time - an athletic-looking 51-year-old, with a determined face, greying hair and a bright red hooded tracksuit emblazoned with his name. Feeding ducks with the boys before they set off, he's more like a school teacher than a mayor, but then the man who defeated the Kremlin-backed candidate of the United Russia party in September's election, is neither a conventional politician, nor a conventional opposition figure. A jailed con-man at 18, he went on to run a successful jewellery business, before setting up a private foundation to fight drugs. Its notoriously harsh methods reflect the deeply disparaging view of drug addicts he still holds. \"They're not humans, they turn into animals, they walk around smiling and dribbling,\" he tells me. \"Actually they turn into plants, not animals. Plants.\" For the past 15 years, his City Without Drugs foundation has run a network of rehabilitation centres. Until recently, patients spent their first month chained to beds and deprived of food - allowed just a quarter of a slice of bread three times a day, and a bit of onion. After complaints from human rights activists, the regime has softened a little. On a visit to three of the centres, we found growling guard dogs and barred windows, but patients apparently ready to accept the constraints. One of them, 26-year-old Andrei - who'd dropped out of his chemistry studies after becoming addicted to a form of synthetic marijuana - calls Roizman a \"great man\". \"He was elected democratically, and I hope he will be the future of our country.\" The Roizman centres' success is taken for granted in Yekaterinburg, but there is no data to compare their rates of relapse with other treatments. \"Anyone who quotes facts and percentages is lying,\" Roizman says. \"Thousands of parents thank me for saving their children.\" But in a dingy cafe, two recovering drug users - among the few prepared to speak out against the newly-elected mayor and unwilling to be identified by their real names - tell a different story. Both are convinced that the rate of recovery is very low. \"Kolya\" has stayed at the centres more than 10 times. The system relies on fear, he says. \"Staff beat up patients to find out where they get their drugs. Then they raid those flats, confiscate the drugs and hand some over to the police. They keep the rest for themselves.\" \"Natasha\" says she was prevented from leaving when her scheduled stint was over. \"I was furious and kept dreaming of shooting up again. I escaped, and those who helped me were brutally punished.\" When asked about these allegations, the mayor categorically denies them, saying his staff only ever attend police raids as witnesses. \"Drug addicts can tell you anything,\" he adds. Roizman has other interests besides tackling drug addiction. He opened Russia's first private icon museum in the centre of Yekaterinburg, where visitors coo over his connection with Russian culture. But his passion for icons has landed him in legal difficulties. During the mayoral campaign police confiscated 26 icons, which they said had been stolen, but which he says he'd been given to restore by a church that works closely with one of his rehabilitation centres. Crunching on cheese and crackers in a side room of his museum, he tells me he feels under attack. \"We've been restoring and protecting the church for the past eight years. Why do I need papers? To show to God? I am feeling a lot of pressure right now, but I am sure I will survive because I have popular support,\" he says. As we speak, I notice an apparently incongruous painting of a young Vladimir Putin propped up against the wall. Or maybe not so incongruous. Yevgeny Roizman insists he is not part of the opposition. He answers questions about Russia's president in a respectful tone. \"I would not ever want to be in Putin's place, I have no idea how he does such a difficult job. This is a huge country, it is so complicated, and I do not envy him,\" he says. It's easy to see similarities between the two men, in their embrace of sobriety and fitness - and in their sharp contrast with the faceless bureaucrats who dominate Russian politics. Putin slips prison vernacular into his speech, to connect with the working class, but Roizman is a genuine ex-convict - and doesn't hide it. In fact, he says, prison is a good learning experience for anyone. He angrily denies regular allegations of links to a crime syndicate, but - in contrast to Putin's pledge to create \"a dictatorship of the law\" - he clearly doesn't feel constrained by legislation. \"If your priority is to obey the law - that's one thing. If your priority is to save people - that's a different matter. For me, saving people is more important than obeying the law,\" he says. In Yekaterinburg, the mayor has less power than in many Russian cities. That hasn't stopped voters, who are putting faith in his can-do attitude, turning to Roizman for help. In his large mayoral office, dressed in jeans and a T-shirt, he listens to a group of residents at risk of losing their homes to developers. He sympathises, but, to the evident frustration of some, can only promise a blogging campaign and encouragement with street protests. But one of those present, a young teacher called Yegor Moskvin, who learned English from watching the US TV series Friends, believes Roizman is there for him. \"He's like a breath of fresh air for this city,\" he beams after the meeting. \"He will look at our problems right here, right now.\" But what of Yevgeny Roizman's longer term prospects? Given the murky nature of Russian politics, a series of questions hovers over Yekaterinburg. Is the new mayor a trial balloon for the Kremlin - a way for those holding the federal levers of power to find out which buttons politicians need to push to gain genuine popular support? Are the legal and media attacks on him an attempt to limit his authority, to put him in his place before he gains wider power? Whatever the case, the rise of this peculiarly Russian polymath says much about the state of the country - a place whose citizens are yearning to be heard, fed up with their current leaders and willing to trust someone who offers an alternative, without asking too many questions. Jamie Coomarasamy will present a special report from Yekaterinburg on Newshour on Monday 28 October 2013 from 12:00 GMT. Follow @BBCNewsMagazine on Twitter and on Facebook",

The \"unprecedented\" cost includes £52m in business support, £28m in tax losses and £40m of other costs, including States-owned airline Aurigny losses. In non-Covid news, the States will raise the personal tax allowance by £300 to £11,875. The States have also proposed a 1.5% increase on duties levied on tobacco, alcohol, fuel and property tax, in line with inflation - which equates to less than 1p on a pint and about 1p on a litre of fuel. The 2020 deficit is estimated at £59m, with projections indicating this will fall to £23m in 2021. It means there will be no transfer to the States capital reserve in either year. The States has allocated up to £17m for further business support, border testing and vaccine roll-out in 2021, the budget also lays out. 'Difficult questions' President of the Policy and Resources Committee (P&R) Peter Ferbrache said the States was in a \"far better\" position than expected. He said: \"Nonetheless, we cannot downplay how devastating the impact of Covid-19 has been on public finances.\" Of the £40m cost to States Trading Assets, £24m are losses from Aurigny and £12m from Guernsey Ports. The impact of the pandemic on Aurigny and the ports is expected to spill over into 2021, with £14m and £7m in expected losses. Deputy Mark Helyar from P&R argued the public needed to be \"realistic\" about spending, given the \"big, difficult questions\" brought about by the pandemic. He said: \"First and foremost, what level of public services should be provided and how much tax are we prepared to take from the economy and community in order to fund these?\"",

That was seen as a pivotal moment for AI, similar to IBM's Deep Blue beating Garry Kasparov at chess. The match will take place in Seoul, South Korea, and will be live-streamed via YouTube. Demis Hassabis, head of Google's DeepMind lab, announced the news in a tweet. Mr Sedol said in a statement that although AlphaGo appeared to be a strong player, he was \"confident\" that he could win the match. Go is widely regarded as a more complicated game than chess, because of the larger choice of moves, making it a good measure of how AI technology is developing. Computers have played Go and beaten amateurs but, before Google's victory against the French champion, experts had predicted that it would take another 10 years until a computer could beat the world's best Go professionals. There has been a long tradition of AI software going head-to-head with human players. In 1996, IBM's Deep Blue took on chess world champion Garry Kasparov and won, although Mr Kasparov went on to win three and draw two of the following five games. Then in 2011, IBM's cognitive platform Watson took on the world's best Jeopardy players, a popular American quiz show and scooped the $1m prize. Watson had access to 200 million pages of structured and unstructured content but was not connected to the internet during the game. What is Go? Go is thought to date back several thousand years to ancient China. Using black and white stones on a grid, players gain the upper hand by surrounding their opponent's pieces with their own. The rules are simpler than those of chess, but a player typically has a choice of 200 moves compared with about 20 in chess. There are more possible positions in Go than atoms in the universe, according to DeepMind's team. Go is played by more than 40 million people worldwide. It can be very difficult to determine who is winning, and many of the top human players rely on instinct.",

            "input": "Observing middle-aged men swathed in white foamy soapsuds is not something I would normally write home about and it certainly wasn't why I was in north-east Algeria. I had come to look at the Roman baths in Khenchela and had overlooked the fact that for many of the local population the attraction was not the ancient architecture or remarkable state of preservation but the fact there was a free and plentiful supply of hot water - still feeding into two open air baths. Fully clothed and with no towel in sight, the stares and hush that followed me as I walked around the water's edge began to make me wonder if my visit was entirely appropriate. As with many such situations, I needn't have worried. Algeria is no exception to the humbling levels of warmth and generosity that strangers are afforded in this part of the world and within minutes of trying to talk in my best French - or, even less comprehensible there - my best Egyptian Arabic, I was surrounded by a group of men in swimming shorts eager to answer my queries about the baths and their history. We were standing next to the smaller bath, its circular rim beautifully shaped by large white blocks of stone worn smooth over centuries of use. Complete with a ledge on which to sit, it resembled a sort of ancient hot tub. \"The Romans built them, before Jesus,\" shouted one man, shampoo bottle in hand. Another piped up: \"But they were damaged in an earthquake and that's when the Ottomans came and repaired it.\" Indeed there had been an earthquake in the 14th Century. Even if their dates were a little out, you couldn't fault their enthusiasm and glowing pride. The daily ritual of public bathing is still clearly alive and well in Khenchela. In fact, as I stepped over the stretched legs and passed reclined bodies dangling their legs in the sea-green water, I got the impression nothing had really changed since the baths were constructed in the first century AD. Only the more recent Ottoman brickwork, the newly constructed changing room doors and the numerous brightly coloured plastic buckets gave the game away. The important social function of a bathhouse has also been retained - family issues are discussed and resolved and jokes and stories are told to echoing laughter and the sound of a slapped thigh, back or hand. Sport is heatedly debated, politics perhaps less so in this country - suspicion of who is hearing what remains a hangover from the civil war when careless talk cost lives. Few have the stomach or wish to risk more conflict - one of many plausible explanations as to why the Arab Spring went largely unnoticed in Algeria. Aside from this striking continuity, what makes Khenchela stand out from many other historical sites in Algeria is the fact that despite being amongst the smallest, and certainly lesser known, it is one of the few places where you can easily interact with the local people. In the days preceding my visit I had wandered some of the country's most prominent Roman ruins: And then my personal favourite: Yet in all of these places I didn't get the chance to speak to anyone - indeed in the Roman Army garrison of Lambesis my only other companion was a Jaribu stork that had made its impressive nest on top of the triumphal arch. In Khenchela I said my goodbyes and had a few last knowing laughs with my semi-naked hosts, the younger ones by now reeling off every English footballer they could think of in a bid to impress. \"Have you been to Khemissa?\" One of the older men asked. \"No,\" I replied, genuinely not knowing where he meant or what was there. \"Oh, but you must. The best preserved Roman amphitheatre in the country - djemela, beautiful!\" I checked my guidebook. There was no mention of Khemissa,. My towelled friend placed his damp finger on the map where three dots indicated a site of historic interest, one of dozens scattered all over the country. I got in the car and prepared myself for another solitary visit - already grateful for my bath encounter. From Our Own Correspondent: Listen online or download the podcast.

Schools inspector, Estyn, had set new targets for the subject and Ms Harries felt \"under pressure\" to meet them. She has 28 days to appeal the decision. Ms Harries can apply to be reinstated on the teaching register in two years. Richard Parry Jones, the chairman of the Education Workforce Council, said Ms Harries had been deliberately dishonest. \"This was a very serious case in terms of its effect on learners and betrays confidence in the profession,\" he said. During her fitness-to-practise hearing in Cardiff, the panel heard Estyn called for an improvement to the school's national test results in Welsh writing at key stage two, following an inspection in 2013. 'Under pressure' A Pembrokeshire council investigation later found 11 test scores were subsequently altered and Ms Harries was suspended in June 2014, the panel heard. She later admitted instructing a colleague to amend test results, but denied doing so dishonestly. Esyllt Green, for Ms Harries, said the experienced head teacher, who had been in charge of about 100 pupils, had a good knowledge of those concerned and was, therefore, entitled to change the results. But Cadi Dewi, representing the EWC, said Ms Harries had shown herself to be dishonest by initially denying she had instructed a colleague to make the changes. The panel was told Ms Harries felt \"under pressure\" to hit the targets and changed grades, despite there being \"no evidence\" pupils had reached that level. Ms Dewi said four members of staff recalled hearing Ms Harries express concern about the marks of some children. Sandra Thomas, an administrator at the school, said Ms Harries told deputy head teacher Tim Davies she \"didn't want the levels to be lower than the recommendations by Estyn\".",

            "input": "By Tom SymondsHome Affairs correspondent 1. Firefighters were at risk, but they went in anyway Many of the firefighters who fought the Grenfell Tower inferno believed they were going to die. In an age where serious fires have become rarer, this was a disaster way beyond their daily experience. Yet they responded with true heroism. They include: Many of the crews described talking to residents they knew could not be saved. For their willingness to go into a burning tower, a significant number have been repaid with months of sleepless nights, and traumatic memories. Giving evidence at the inquiry did not make things easier. And there was criticism from the start that the actions of relatively junior officers were being challenged in the daily hearings. But the inquiry is intent on scrutinising the performance of the fire brigade. And as the process has progressed, questions have been asked of those at all levels in the service. 2. The fire was out of control from the start It was fuelled by the plastic in the cladding panels fitted during the tower's refurbishment. But worse than that, the panels themselves made it difficult to tackle the fire. This is because they were installed as \"rainscreen cladding\". In other words, they were designed specifically to keep water away from the building. Several firefighter witnesses described their hoses having no effect on the flames. The fire may have been unstoppable from the first moments it escaped from flat 16 on the fourth floor and began racing up the outside of the building, The inquiry will have to decide whether anything could have been done to halt it. A key piece of evidence will be the pictures of the first \"covering jet\" of water from a fire hose, which fell short of the window of flat 16. The inquiry heard suggestions this had been a deliberate tactic. The first team into the building were behind that window and aiming a hose through it might have put them at risk. You might think that high-rise fires are tackled with huge extendable ladders - but that is not the case. It's not possible to make a ladder long enough for the taller buildings. The strategy is to fight from inside the building, with fire hoses plugged into the \"dry riser\" - a pipe fed by fire engines on the ground. But could that strategy have successfully extinguished a massive fire on the outside of the building? The London Fire Brigade commissioner, Dany Cotton, said this was never possible. 3. Evacuating the tower was always the last resort It's an obvious question - why not get everyone out instead of maintaining a policy of telling residents to \"stay put\"? The simple answer is that, normally, stay put saves lives. This is because tower blocks are designed to confine the flames to the concrete box forming an individual flat. So, if you are in a different flat, you are theoretically safe - certainly safer than joining a stampede down smoke-filled stairs. It makes sense. And the fire service has a system for understanding whether other residents are facing danger. They give \"fire survival guidance\" to those calling 999 and pass the information from the caller to teams on the ground, warning them if a rescue is going to be needed. But it didn't work well at Grenfell because exhausted crews were dealing with more calls than in any fire in modern times. They were writing information on bits of paper, recording them in pen on stairwell walls or resorting to their mobile phones to communicate, because their radios were not working. The inquiry may find that even if a rescue had been possible, co-ordinating all of the fire survival guidance calls might have been impossible. And the stay put policy was swiftly outflanked by the rapidly expanding fire. Another key question for the inquiry will be whether a new policy needs to be developed for when a fire in a tower gets out of control. 4. The building itself failed its residents It wasn't just the cladding. Almost all the features of Grenfell Tower designed to be useful in a fire fell short: This meant: 5. The fire brigade wasn't prepared for such a fire London has hundreds of tall buildings, ranging from towers such as Grenfell to gleaming skyscrapers. Yet many of the firefighters who gave evidence revealed they had received limited training on fighting fires in high rises - including fires that had escaped the compartment of a flat and got out of control. They had no training on how to spot fires made worse by materials such as cladding. Ms Cotton said firefighters were not building engineers and if they had been taught to analyse the dangers posed by a building's structure, they would have had no time to learn basic firefighting techniques. But it became clear there had been little planning for a fire like this within the brigade's management, despite a series of smaller fires that warned that something like Grenfell might be a risk. In fact, the brigade's most senior officer told the inquiry a \"towering inferno\" such as Grenfell had been about as unlikely as a \"space shuttle landing on the Shard\", the striking pointed tower near the River Thames. The brigade's approach was that a cladding fire that raced through a tower, rendering the stay put policy futile, could never happen and could never have been predicted. The inquiry will have to decide whether that was a reasonable position for London's fire service to take.",

Without such reform, the UK might \"face a choice between joining the euro or leaving\" the EU, he said. The 28-member group also had to do more to ensure economic competitiveness with rivals like India and China, he added. Labour said David Cameron's \"weakness\" regarding his party was preventing reform, while the UK Independence Party said the prime minister had repeatedly \"caved in\" to Brussels. Mr Osborne's speech followed the Conservative leadership rejecting a call from 95 of the party's MPs to allow Parliament to block EU laws which damage the national interest 'Simple choice' Earlier this week Foreign Secretary William Hague said the EU's rules had to be followed by all its members and the MPs' veto plan was unworkable. But addressing the think tank Open Europe and the Fresh Start group of MPs, set up by Conservatives keen to see reform, Mr Osborne said he understood the need for change, especially given further economic and political integration by EU countries within the eurozone, aimed at preventing a repeat of the recent crisis. He warned: \"If you cannot protect the collective interests of non-eurozone member states, then they will have to choose between joining the eurozone, which the UK will not do, or leave the European Union.\" He also said: \"I believe it is in no-one's interests for Britain to come to face a choice between joining the euro or leaving the European Union. \"We don't want to join the euro, but also our withdrawal from a Europe which succeeded in reforming would be bad for Britain. And a country of the size and global reach of Britain leaving would be very bad for the European Union.\" 'Status quo risk' The Conservative Party has promised an in-out referendum on EU membership - following a renegotiation of powers with Brussels - before the end of 2017, if it wins a majority at the next general election. Mr Osborne said: \"The biggest economic risk facing Europe doesn't come from those who want reform and renegotiation. \"It comes from a failure to reform and renegotiate. It is the status quo which condemns the people of Europe to an ongoing economic crisis and continuing decline.\" Mr Osborne argued there was a \"simple choice for Europe: reform or decline\". He said: \"There are those who throw their hands up and say 'We can't reform Europe'. To them, I would say that we have already proved that wrong. \"Take the EU budget. Last year, the prime minister negotiated the first ever real-terms cut... Far from being a lone voice, we were working with like-minded countries like Germany, the Netherlands and Denmark.\" Mr Osborne talked about how the 2008 financial collapse had exacerbated the EU's problems, but argued: \"We knew there was a competitiveness problem in Europe before the crisis. \"But the crisis has dramatically accelerated the shifts in the tectonic economic plates that see power moving eastwards and southwards on our planet.\" He said too much money was going on benefits across the continent: \"Europe accounts for just over 7% of the world's population, 25% of its economy, and 50% of global social welfare spending.\" 'Utter bunkum' In a question-and-answer session following his speech, Mr Osborne said the Conservatives were \"having a grown-up conversation\" on Europe, adding: \"I would rather be in a party that's addressing these issues for the future than a party that's burying its head in the sand.\" But, for Labour, shadow foreign secretary Douglas Alexander said: \"The Conservative leadership seems to be spending more time negotiating with their backbenchers than negotiating with Europe to deliver real reform. \"All of us know change in Europe is needed, but the tragedy is that David Cameron's internal party weakness is preventing him from approaching the need for reform in a sensible way.\" UK Independence Party leader Nigel Farage called the idea that the UK could lead reform within Europe \"utter bunkum\". He added of Mr Cameron: \"The EU is not going to suddenly turn around and be dictated to by a man...who has given away any leverage in the negotiations he may have had by declaring his support for EU membership.\" 'Compelling' The CBI business group said Mr Osborne had set out a \"compelling\" case for EU competitiveness. But European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso warned of \"scaremongering\" about the right of EU citizens to live and work elsewhere in the union following recent suggestions by David Cameron that restrictions should be considered in future. He told the European Parliament that the principle was \"good for all of us that enjoy freedom in Europe and have an open idea of Europe and not a narrow, chauvinistic idea of the protection of the different countries\". Earlier on Wednesday, it emerged that the Home Office has delayed a report into the issue amid reported disagreements in the coalition.",

They are operated differently from secure training centres and young offender institutions, which hold slightly older children. The girl who died was in a secure home in the north of England after being placed there by a local authority. The boy, who had been convicted of an offence, had been detained in a secure home in Wales. Inquests for the two children are yet to be held. The ombudsman also commented on the widespread availability in prisons of former legal highs, such as Spice, which are known as psychoactive substances (PS). She said: \"The destructive epidemic of PS use has become the 'new normal' in prison,\" adding that jails were \"struggling with the consequences of bad batches of PS\".

Some stores have voluntarily agreed to make theirs as resistant as children's nightwear. BBC News NI tested four costumes bought randomly from a variety of stores. The good news is all four performed well, all self-extinguished and didn't accelerate into a fireball. One costume said on the label it had been subjected to additional fire safety testing and it performed the best. Kevin O'Neill from the Fire and Rescue Service said: \"These are toys. Toys have a lower fire safety requirement. They have a lower fire safety standard. Just be aware of that and take measures. \"One of those measures is to ensure children are wearing clothes under the costume. \"They should be wearing woollen tights for example or a woollen jumper or jeans. That way it gives some protection that if they were to catch fire you've still got a barrier between the garment and your skin\". If the worst does happen, Mr O'Neill said children should know the 'stop, drop and roll' drill. \"Stop what you're doing, get on the ground and roll.

            "input": "By Lauren TurnerEntertainment reporter Tarell Alvin McCraney is reflecting on so-called envelopegate one year on - the mix-up that led to the wrong film, La La Land, initially being named best picture at last year's Oscars. The playwright says that now, with hindsight, he's glad things transpired as they did, with two groups of cast and crew taking to the stage to pick up the Academy Award. \"Imagine if before they had made the announcement from the incorrect envelope, the presenters realised it was a mistake, stopped and said, 'No, we have the wrong envelope… hold on'. \"And then made everyone wait five minutes (which really feels like an hour on live TV) for them to get the right envelope and then announce who had won best picture. We probably would have never lived down the conspiracy theories. \"Thankfully it didn't happen that way but I was still shocked and surprised and happy and confused as everyone watching at home and at the event.\" Videos of the moment it became clear the wrong film had been announced are excruciatingly awkward to watch. You see McCraney's face as the cast and crew make their way to the stage at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles - confused at first, then shell-shocked. \"I think there are a few clips on YouTube where you can see my reaction as it happened,\" he says. Envelope mishaps aside, McCraney had plenty to celebrate on the night. He had already picked up the best adapted screenplay Oscar, along with Moonlight's director Barry Jenkins, for In Moonlight Black Boys Look Blue - the play the film was based on. Which takes us on to this year's Oscars, taking place on 4 March. It turns out McCraney is a big fan of one British actor in particular. \"Sadly, I haven't had a moment to see the films nominated for best picture,\" he says. \"But Daniel Kaluuya is nominated for best actor for his role in Get Out. \"I hope everyone in the UK is as excited about that as I am! I saw him in Sucker Punch at the Royal Court a few years ago and ...wow. Huge congrats to him.\" McCraney has been back in the UK himself for the revival of The Brothers Size at London's Young Vic. It was 10 years ago that it was first staged, at the same venue. Not much has been changed on the play itself in that time he says - despite much changing for McCraney. The Brothers Size tells the story of Ogun and Oshooshi Size - the two brothers of the title - and Oshoosi's former cell mate Elegba. They pace the stage, which is bare but for a chalk circle they draw at the start of the 90-minute play - as well as setting out the stage, they also read out the directions, dance and sing. It's had four and five star reviews - The Guardian calling it \"magical and mysterious\", The Times describing it as \"bewitching\" and the Evening Standard saying it \"combines urgently rhythmic dialogue with the lingering strangeness of a dream\". \"The feeling of nowness is more powerful than nostalgia,\" he explains. \"It doesn't feel like it's been 10 years. \"It feels like we worked on a play before and now we are coming back to do some vital work - telling stories that we feel are urgent. \"The building is more alive with this play in a way that I have never seen. It's thrilling.\" 'Oppression continues' That urgent story he is telling is about reconciliation and release as well as the bonds between brothers, be it of blood or of friendship. It has echoes of Yoruba mythology - including Ogun being named after the Yoruba god of hard work - and bad dreams suffered by his younger brother as he struggles to adjust to life outside his prison cell resonate throughout the play. Set in Louisiana - in a time that's never explicitly mentioned in the script - so how is it relevant to London today? In many ways, says McCraney. \"The oppression of people of colour continues,\" he says. \"The prison and rehabilitation process is deeply flawed. \"We know more of that now than we did 10 years ago.\" While his first play, it's now the second - chronologically, in terms of the narrative - in his Brother/Sister plays trilogy, along with In The Red and Brown Water and Marcus; Or the Secret of Sweet. And it's just been announced that McCraney is making his Broadway debut with Choir Boy, early next year. \"I really enjoy the play and have always wanted to revisit it with a deeper lens,\" he says. \"The Brothers Size was a piece that I never wanted to undo or tinker with, it's play, like In the Red and Brown Water, where I am constantly discovering more about it the more I allow collaborators to bring their ideas to the writing.\" As for now? McCraney is mostly teaching - as well as learning from his own students, he says. \"I really enjoy it,\" he says. Asked how Moonlight's success has changed things for him, he says: \"It hasn't changed a great deal. I still teach, I still write. \"People ask me more questions about award ceremonies, but I count it all as joy.\" The Brothers Size is on at the Young Vic until 14 February Follow us on Facebook, on Twitter @BBCNewsEnts, or on Instagram at bbcnewsents.

Obamacare requires all Americans to have health insurance but offers subsidies to people on low incomes. Mr Trump's bill was withdrawn because of a lack of support from Republicans. They control both houses of Congress, and the withdrawal is a major setback for the new president. Mr Trump campaigned on his skills as a dealmaker. \"I would say that we will probably start going very, very strong for the big tax cuts and tax reform. That will be next,\" Mr Trump told reporters at the White House. However, the tax cuts were supposed to be paid for by savings from the withdrawn healthcare bill. Without the spending cuts in the failed bill, any tax cuts will add to the federal budget deficit. Mr Trump lashed out at Democrats in Congress after the bill was withdrawn, blaming the opposition party for not backing his legislation. But it was House Republicans who ensured it was shelved, after Speaker Paul Ryan decided he could not get enough backing from his own party. \"Doing big things is hard,\" Mr Ryan said. The president refrained from criticising Mr Ryan, whose job as speaker of the House involves rallying support for controversial bills. \"We learned about loyalty; we learned a lot about the vote-getting process,\" he said. On Saturday Mr Trump repeated his claim that Obamacare would \"explode\", tweeting \"we will all get together and piece together a great healthcare plan for THE PEOPLE. Do not worry!\" Obamacare has been troubled by increases in insurance premiums. It also imposes tax penalties on uninsured Americans - many of them low- to moderate-income earners. However, it also bans insurance companies from denying health coverage to people with pre-existing health conditions and allows young people to remain on their parents' plans until age 26. Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin said on Friday that tax reform was \"a lot simpler\" in many ways than healthcare reform. Mr Mnuchin said that his goal remained to get tax measures through Congress by August this year.

Dutch Foreign Minister Stef Blok said on Tuesday that his country's secret service had \"strong indications\" that Iran was involved in the assassination of Dutch nationals in Almere in 2015 and in The Hague in 2017. In a statement, he said the two murdered men were of Iranian origin and had been opponents of the Iranian regime.

Iranian ships later tried to impede a British tanker, the UK claimed. After \"constructive\" talks with Tehran, Mr Hunt said he was encouraged Iran has no desire to escalate the situation. He said he reassured Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif that \"our concern has always been destination, not origin of the oil\" and that the UK would facilitate release \"if we received sufficient guarantees that it would not be going to Syria\". He added that Mr Zarif wants to resolve the issue and was \"not seeking to escalate\". However, the Iranian foreign minister insisted his country would continue its oil exports under any conditions. In a statement issued after the phone conversation with Mr Hunt, Mr Zarif said the destination of the oil tanker was a legal one in the eastern Mediterranean, adding that Britain should quickly release the vessel. Why was the tanker seized? A team of about 30 British Royal Marines were flown from the UK to Gibraltar to help detain the super tanker and its cargo, at the request of the Gibraltar government, the BBC was told. Authorities said there was reason to believe the Iranian tanker Grace 1 was carrying crude oil to the Baniyas Refinery in Syria. The refinery is subject to European Union sanctions against Syria. How did Iran react? Iran denied the tanker was bound for Syria and threatened to seize a British oil tanker in retaliation. Iranian foreign ministry spokesman Abbas Mousavi called the actions a \"form of piracy\" and called for the ship to be immediately released and allowed to continue its journey. Iran summoned the British ambassador in Tehran, Robert Macaire, to complain about what it called the \"illegal seizure\". Mr Mousavi added that \"the move indicated that the UK follows the hostile policies of the US, which is unacceptable for the Iranian nation and government\". Iran has since reiterated calls for the tanker to be released. Last week, an Iranian official, speaking to state news agency IRNA, warned the UK not to get involved in \"this dangerous game\". What happened next? On 9 July, the UK raised the threat to British shipping in Iranian waters in the Gulf to \"critical\" - the highest level. A day later, Iranian boats attempted to impede a British oil tanker in the region, before being warned off by a Royal Navy ship, according to the MoD. Boats believed to belong to Iran's Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) approached the British Heritage tanker and tried to bring it to a halt as it was moving out of the Gulf into the Strait of Hormuz. HMS Montrose, a British frigate shadowing the BP-owned tanker, was forced to move between the three boats and the ship, a Ministry of Defence spokesman said. Iran denied any attempted seizure, with Iranian foreign minister Mohammad Javad Zarif quoted as saying the UK made the claims \"for creating tension\". Analysis By James Robbins, BBC diplomatic correspondent Jeremy Hunt very deliberately stressed to Iran's foreign minister that it was the apparent destination of the oil - Syria - that concerns him, not its country of origin - Iran. The Iranians do not accept that EU sanctions against Syria apply to them, but by making this distinction between origin and destination so explicitly, Britain's foreign secretary is trying to re-establish the differences between Britain's policy approach to Iran and that of the United States. Washington is pursuing its own punitive measures against Tehran, including an attempt to close down its entire oil exporting capability. That's an approach Britain and the EU do not support. Iran often accuses the EU in general, and Britain in particular, of doing far too little to protect it from American efforts to destroy the Iranian economy. This British offer to Iran is driven by a variety of motives, not least a strong desire to move away from crisis back to a mere breakdown in relations , but demonstrating a distinct distance from the American approach is one of those motives.",

            "input": "Soutik BiswasDelhi correspondent A pugnacious outlier called the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) or Common Man's Party, born out of a strong anti-corruption movement and tapping into popular disenchantment with the major political parties, has made a spectacular debut in state elections in Delhi. It has picked up 28 of the 70 seats and more importantly, over 30% of the votes, routing the ruling Congress party and putting the single largest BJP party under watch. Thanks to the AAP's bravura performance, the capital may be headed for a hung assembly and forced into a re-election. \"AAP proves,\" an analyst told me, \"the people are desperately looking for alternatives, not merely an option.\" Even its critics concede the Delhi result is a stunning feat for a year-old party in a country where barriers to political entry are prohibitively high. Arvind Kejriwal, a once-taciturn civil servant-turned popular leader, has emerged as the giant killer, routing Chief Minister Sheila Dixit, a veteran Congresswoman, who was eyeing a fourth consecutive term in office. Not since the emergence of the regional Telugu Desam Party in southern Andhra Pradesh state in the 1980s has India seen such a striking political debut. Credible alternative Analysts say the AAP has offered itself as a credible alternative to people fed up with corruption, unresponsive politicians and high inflation. They believe that the party changed the political discourse of the elections. It forced the BJP to change a lacklustre chief ministerial candidate, put out separate manifestos for 70 constituencies, skilfully used social media, successfully garnered the support of the traditional media and promised to pursue \"honest, people's politics\". It also radically altered the debate on the blight of corruption. The new party projected itself as \"pro-change, anti-establishment and anti-politician\", as an analyst succinctly put it. However, the AAP's emergence also points to an inflection point in India's stodgy politics dominated by identity, caste, patronage, sycophancy, dynastic impulses and opaque financing. What makes the party unique? For one, unlike new parties in the past that had their origins in region and identity-based movements, AAP was not identifiable with either. Also, it is the first party to emerge entirely out of urban India with its leaders mainly belonging to the middle class. \"The party,\" analyst Pratap Bhanu Mehta told me, \"is the creation of urban, middle class imagination.\" Moreover, AAP is the first party that has impressed with an innovative use of political techniques. It was clearly demonstrated in its poll spending model - transparent, open donations from the public - and volunteer workers who took time off from their jobs and businesses to work for the party. Though born out of a vigorous anti-corruption movement that captured the people's imagination, the party's identity is forged around the notions of accountability and governance, something unprecedented in India's parties. The party is also forcing other parties to rethink their strategies. \"They showed a lot of creativity and imagination. They took risks - the act of Mr Kejriwal taking on Sheila Dixit, for example. The AAP thought out of the box,\" says Mr Mehta. Will the party now capitalise on its sterling performance in the capital and go national? Historians like Dipankar Gupta feel that the party should entrench itself locally - by contesting municipal elections, for example - before venturing to the national stage. \"It should play within its limits,\" he says. 'Changing the system' But Mr Kejriwal's party clearly has other ideas: senior leaders tell me that they have opened more than 300 offices all over India and the party plans to contest next year's general elections \"wherever we stand a chance\". It believes its time has come and it has to capture the zeitgeist: many believe most cities and states have a substantial population of floating voters who are now desperate for credible alternatives. But can Mr Kejriwal's party replicate its success outside of Delhi? Politics is the art of the possible. Many believe that to become successful outside India's most urbanised state, the AAP will need to forge tactical alliances in India's fractious and complex politics. Will Mr Kejriwal's party do that? How will it navigate challenges of language and local contexts in an dizzyingly diverse country and build local networks? (The party is largely seen as a Delhi-centric phenomenon, and most of its existing leadership hail from the city.) Or will it, like other parties, easily become a prisoner of India's politics and bureaucracy? Will Mr Kejriwal, its charismatic leader, end up fostering a cult of personality, a bane of India's political parties? Will it be able to marry its idealism and pragmatism? AAP activists are fond of saying that they are not in politics \"mainly to seize power but to change a compromised and corrupt political system\". But changing a system in a country of high aspirations and fraying institutions requires the party to participate and work it from within. The outlier needs to become the insider. There are questions over the party's institutional proposals. The AAP's manifesto is a mixed bag of promises ranging from participatory decision making to cheap electricity and free water. More seriously, many say, the AAP's rising is a loud and clear warning to India's political parties to return to their ideological moorings, be imaginative, engage in a battle of ideas and begin a conversation with people fed up of their grandstanding and rabble rousing. \"I am not sure Delhi's people voted for an alternative party in the strictest sense. It was more a vote in anger and protest against the existing parties and how they have been conducting themselves,\" says analyst Mohan Guruswamy. If India's main parties don't change, the Common Man's Party could become a formidable national political force faster than many would imagine.",

Sinn Fein MLA Philip McGuigan said that all the issues flowed from a hard Brexit, which the minister and his party had supported. In good-humoured exchanges, Mr Poots accepted that he had returned as \"bullish as ever\". \"They didn't take that out when they removed the kidney,\" he said. Mr Poots said what was being expected under the protocol was \"irrational, oppressive, burdensome and frankly ridiculous\". He said Northern Ireland would co-operate with the European Union to protect its single market, but things had gone too far. \"What in the name of goodness has that got to do with a pizza ending up on a table in Belfast?,\" he said. Mr Poots said up to 400 staff might be required if full checks had to be applied at the end of various grace periods. He said he did not know where they would come from when there was already a shortage. And he said being forced to withdraw vets from slaughterhouses to inspect paperwork on food which had already been checked elsewhere was \"ridiculous\".

Football Mr Poots later acknowledged the advantage of the protocol in terms of providing access to EU markets. Committee chair Declan McAleer welcomed the acknowledgment.

            "input": "By Katy PrickettBBC News The rioting broke out in Littleport on 22 May 1816, when about 100 people armed with pitchforks, cleavers and guns smashed windows and broke down doors, stealing money, food and goods from their wealthier neighbours. Resident Elizabeth Little described Thomas South brandishing his cleaver and when she asked if he wanted bread or meat, he replied: \"No, we want money\". He demanded £1, but on being told Mrs Little only had 10 shillings, took that instead. Littleport's vicar tried to restore order by reading the Riot Act - the 1714 legislation had made it a crime for a crowd of 12 or more to refuse to disperse when ordered to do so by a magistrate. Instead, the mob overwhelmed him, ransacked his house and he was forced to flee for Ely with his family. The next day the rioters also set off for Ely, armed with a 8ft (2.4m)-long water-fowling firearm called a punt gun, which they had loaded on to a stolen wagon. More than 300 people eventually participated in the riot, which was put down on 24 May by the Cambridgeshire Militia and the 1st (Royal) Regiment of Dragoons. One rioter was killed, a soldier who had survived the Battle of Waterloo was maimed for life and 82 prisoners were committed to Ely Gaol. On 28 June 1816, five men were hanged, \"having been convicted of divers Robberies\". Death sentences were actually given to a total of 23 men and one woman, although the majority had their sentences commuted to transportation to Australia or imprisonment. The Littleport Riots were not isolated events, but part of \"a wave of unrest\" from 1815 onwards, according to Anglia Ruskin University historian Rohan McWilliam. \"There was economic dislocation after the end of the Napoleonic Wars and the introduction of the Corn Laws in 1815, which increased taxation on wheat,\" he said. \"Labour wages weren't keeping up with the cost of living, while poor harvests exacerbated the situation.\" Previously common land, on which labourers could grow crops or keep livestock to supplement their wages, was being enclosed by landowners. Their employment conditions had also changed, said University of Hertfordshire historian Katrina Navickas, to \"daily hirings instead of yearly hirings - in essence, the introduction of a type of zero-hours contract\". This was exacerbated by a breakdown of the Poor Law, which was supposed to help the most vulnerable based on need with small sums of money and \"in kind\" goods such as shoes. Dr Navikas said: \"Inflation is high after the Napoleonic Wars inflation and just the bare minimum is paid because ratepayers are saying they're paying too much.\" And then to tighten the screw still further, the Game Laws passed in 1816 restricted the hunting of game to landowners, with transportation the penalty for poaching - or even being found in possession of a net at night. The disturbance broke out when a group of mostly unemployed men met at the Globe Inn, for a meeting of the village Benefit Club. Patricia Collins, whose ancestor William Beamiss was its treasurer and later hanged, said: \"Members made contributions so they could draw out money when they were in need - but the problem was everyone was in need and the money had run out.\" Feelings boiled over and the men left the pub and began intimidating their neighbours, fuelled by drink - and fury over the low wages, the high price of food and spiralling unemployment. Research done by Cambridgeshire Archives suggests that vicar John Vachell was a particular target because \"he was a local magistrate and well known for his harsh sentencing\". John Denniss feels proud to be descended from one of the executed men, but many of his forebears saw the story differently. They \"were ashamed\" and even slightly changed the spelling of their surname from Dennis to Denniss, he said. He believes his ancestor, the Globe's publican John Dennis, \"was prepared to stand up for people worse off than him\". Miss Collins prefers to see contemporary parallels. She said: \"They were people driven to desperate straits and it's good to bring this story into the public eye at this time, when there are so many food banks.\" Jeremy Sallis is descended from Little Sallis, a trial witness who told the court he saw about 100 people, armed with weapons, smashing windows and looting in Littleport. He was brought up believing his ancestor was a rioter, and only recently discovered \"his evidence convicted people\". A spokeswoman for Cambridgeshire Archives said: \"The government was genuinely worried by the danger of violent protest getting out of hand - the revolution in France was still fresh in everyone's mind and any challenge to the Establishment was seen to contain the seeds of revolution.\" Justice was meted out by a government-appointed special commission, which set aside the Isle of Ely judge Edward Christian, the brother of Mutiny on the Bounty's Fletcher Christian. A contemporary account described how on the scaffold, John Dennis, Isaac Harley, Thomas South, William Beamiss and George Crow \"endeavoured to shake hands with each other, but having their arms pinioned they were prevented from so doing\". Miss Collins said: \"John Denniss and William Beamiss were supposed to know better, because they were a publican and a shoemaker and were a bit older than the others - so they are supposed to have led them astray.\" In Littleport, there is still a belief their rioters were \"martyrs and made an example of\", according to Deb Curtis from the Field Theatre Group, which has received a Heritage Lottery Fund grant to make a film about the disturbances. Prof McWilliam does not agree - pointing to the execution of 19 men in the anti-mechanisation Captain Swing riots of 1830. \"Both the Littleport and Swing riots were protests at the increasing impoverishment of the rural poor and the government used the force of the scaffold to clamp down on unrest,\" he said. \"The rioters felt the full force of the Bloody Code, with 200 offences leading to execution.\" He also points to the violence used to disperse unemployed Lancashire mill workers when they tried to march on Parliament in 1817 and the force used during Manchester's Peterloo Massacre of 1819. By 1820, there was even an attempt to overthrow the government in the Cato Street Conspiracy. After the executions, an inscription was put on the side of Littleport parish church, listing the men's names and crimes and ending, \"May their awful fate be a warning to others.\" The vicar, Mr Vachell, was one of many who sought compensation for the destruction of his property - and received £708, which is about £50,000 in today's values. Littleport Parish also agreed to pay £5 a year to the Waterloo veteran whose arm was injured in the riot and later amputated. Miss Collins said the men had tried to help themselves through periods of unemployment or sickness by paying into the Benefit Club. \"In today's terms, they weren't shirkers, they were workers who were looking after each other, but the need was so great the money had run out,\" she said. And while former shop steward Mr Denniss knows there was a time when his family were ashamed about their connection to a man who joined - and possibly led - the mob - he believes his ancestor \"fought for the underdog\".",

A tribunal has now ruled both \"require a bedroom each\" and that their flat is \"fully occupied\" and the decision to cut benefit breached her human rights. The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) said the ruling does not set a precedent. The ruling is thought to be the first of its kind against the new benefit changes. The case was heard at a First Tier Tribunal (Social Entitlement Chamber) before judge Lyndy Boyd. 'Bedroom tax' It was brought on behalf of the unnamed woman, who suffers from primary progressive multiple sclerosis, by Mike Dailly, principal solicitor of Govan Law Centre. The tribunal heard that the woman and her husband live in a two bedroom home and had incurred arrears with their housing association after changes to housing benefit came into effect. Since April, social tenants deemed to have too many rooms have had benefit payments cut. Critics call it a \"bedroom tax\" but the UK government says it is ending a \"spare room subsidy\". Tribunal judge Lyndy Boyd said the woman's case must be viewed within the context of the Human Rights Act 1998 and the Housing Benefit Regulations 2006. She held these allowed circumstances to be recognised when one member of a couple cannot share a bedroom because of severe disability. Severe disability The judge said: \"Not to so read it would be incompatible with the appellant's rights under Article 14 of the European Convention on Human Rights read with Article 1 of the First Protocol of the European Convention of Human Rights.\" Judge Boyd continued: \"The appellant's flat is not larger than she needs. She does not have a spare or extra bedroom. \"Because of her severe disability she is not able to share a bedroom with her husband and he must have a bedroom of his own. Her flat is not under-occupied. \"As a result of her sever disability she and her husband require a bedroom each and the flat is fully occupied.\" In her statement of reasons, judge Boyd added that the interpretation of the rules in this case \"does not change the fundamental features of the legislation or disrupt its aims\". Mr Dailly said he understand that the case may be the \"first reported success in using unlawful discrimination and human rights law to challenge\" the changes to housing benefit. A DWP spokesman said: \"Tribunal decisions at this level do not set a precedent. \"We will need to look at this particular decision in detail, but in July the Divisional Court ruled that the Department had fulfilled its equality duties to disabled people who are affected by the policy.\" He added: \"Even after the reform we still pay over 80% of most claimants' housing benefit, but the taxpayer can no longer pay for spare bedrooms in the social housing sector.\"",

The new Lord Mayor Jeffrey Mountevans led the two-minute silence marking the Paris attacks. This year's events marked the 800th anniversary of the role of lord mayor of the City of London. Organisers cancelled the fireworks, saying: \"It is time for a show of solidarity with the victims of an atrocious terrorist attack and not a time for celebrations.\" Instead, Tower Bridge was lit up in the colours of the French flag from 16:30 GMT \"as a mark of respect\", they said. The Library of Birmingham was also lit up in the red, white and blue colours of the Tricolore, as was Blackpool Tower, Portsmouth's Spinnaker Tower, the London Eye, the National Gallery, Norwich City Hall and Leeds Arena. Coventry Cathedral was also lit up as part of a ceremony to mark the 75th anniversary of the Luftwaffe bombing raid on the city. In central London two vigils took place at Trafalgar Square - one earlier in the day and one in the evening. Both were organised by French residents in London. At the evening vigil hundreds of people held their phones aloft, the light of their screens illuminating the darkness, or lit candles. London has about 300,000 French residents, which has led some people to suggest that it is France's six biggest city in terms of population. A similar vigil also took place in Liverpool attended by French nationals and students. Hanna Corbett, a Nottingham University student from St Albans has spoken about the \"nightmare\" of being caught up in the attack on the Bataclan concert hall in Paris. And the London School of Economics has said one of its former students, Valentin Ribet, who graduated in International Business Law in 2014, was one of those who died on Friday night. Secondary school students from Croydon, south London, who were among those in Paris at the time of the attacks have arrived home. Pupils and teachers from Riddlesdeown Collegiate cut short their trip and sobbed as they arrived back at St Pancras Station amid tight security at the terminal. \"It's been obviously very worrying for us and for our parents,\" said principal Soumick Dey. \"It's lovely to see them all safe back here now.\" At Gatwick Airport a French man was arrested and the North Terminal was evacuated as a precautionary measure after a firearm was found. Mayor of London Boris Johnson said: \"We regard Paris as our sister city, a place for which we have deep reserves of love and admiration and respect. \"We are two capitals united in our values - democratic freedom, openness and tolerance. \"The people who launched the attacks last night have no such values. They wish to undermine the things we hold most precious.\" The Lord Mayor's Show was the first public engagement for the new Lord Mayor, who is a maritime expert and the 688th mayor to fill the position, representing the city in financial and business matters across the world.",

But Continental may still be liable for damages after the court said the firm still bore civil responsibility. A piece of metal from a Continental jet was blamed for causing the crash. But Continental labelled the initial court decision and its explanation absurd, and launched an appeal. The Air France Concorde burst into flames and crashed into nearby buildings after it took off from Charles de Gaulle airport, killing all 109 people on board and four hotel workers. Most of the passengers were German tourists heading to New York to join a cruise to the Caribbean. In 2010, a French court decided that the crash had been caused by a titanium strip that had fallen from a Continental airliner. The US operator was convicted of involuntary manslaughter, fined 200,000 euros (£160,000) and ordered to pay 1m euros in damages to Air France. In addition, a Continental mechanic, John Taylor, was given a 15-month suspended prison sentence over the crash. Thursday's ruling overturned the criminal convictions of Mr Taylor and Continental and quashed the 200,000-euro fine. But the court said Continental still bore civil responsibility and upheld the 1m-euro payment. Separately, Air France is suing Continental for 15m euros at a commercial tribunal. The US airline had consistently argued that the Concorde caught fire before it hit the metal strip, and that they were being used as a scapegoat to protect France's airline industry. Continental merged with United Airlines earlier this year. The airline's parent firm, United Continental Holdings, said in a statement it supported the court's decision that Continental was not to blame. \"We have long maintained that neither Continental nor its employees were responsible for this tragic event and are satisfied that this verdict was overturned,\" the statement said.",

Together with Rothera on the Antarctic Peninsula, it will spearhead UK science on the White Continent. Halley gathers important weather and climate data, and it played a critical role in the research that identified the ozone \"hole\" in 1985. In recent years, Halley has also become a major centre for studying solar activity and the impacts it can have on Earth. This is most evident in the beautiful auroras that form over the base - the consequence of particles from the Sun crashing into air molecules high in the atmosphere. Halley VI's researchers now have a state-of-the-art complex from which to monitor these phenomena. Perhaps the most striking thing about the new station is its appearance. \"It looks like something in space,\" says architect Hugh Broughton. The British Antarctic Survey (BAS) station comprises eight modules in all. The seven blue ones are work and habitation units. The central red module, which is on two storeys, is the social hub where residents can gather to relax. It contains the dining room, the bar and even a gym. The entire base stands on a hydraulic leg and ski system that allows it to be raised above the annual snowfall, and periodically to be towed closer to land. If these adjustments were not to happen, the station would eventually be buried and carried to the ice edge where it would then be dropped into the ocean. Halley bases I to IV were abandoned to this fate. The new design makes the adjustments easier and less labour intensive. The station was constructed in large part in South Africa and then shipped to the Antarctic in easy-to-assemble units. \"The idea was to prefabricate as much as possible,\" explained Karl Tuplin, the project manager for the Halley VI building programme. \"Room pods, bedrooms, bathrooms - they were all made in advance. Mechanical, electrical services - the wires and piping - came in cassettes that were just slotted into place.\" The hope is, some refurbishment notwithstanding, the new Halley can last 30-40 years before a wholly new structure is required. \"The feedback has been great,\" Mr Broughton told BBC News. \"In the last station, not everyone had a window from their bedroom. Now everyone's got a view. The acoustics are better, and there're more opportunities to rest. But also the working conditions are much better and there's a far greater array of different scientific experiments now possible at Halley VI compared to Halley V.\" The old station has just been dismantled and all its parts removed from the Antarctic.

            "input": "By Katie HopeBBC News, Davos Gillian Tans is softly spoken and unassuming. The 47-year-old isn't someone you'd immediately associate with power. Yet she has a lot of it. As the chief executive of online accommodation website Booking.com she's in charge of a staggering 15,000 employees in 70 countries around the world. In 2016, she earned an impressive $17.1m (£12.3m; €13.9m). That was more than her own then boss at US firm Priceline which owns Booking.com as well as other travel related brands including Kayak and rentalcars.com. In the world of business, a successful woman on this scale is still pretty rare. In Davos for the first time, Mrs Tans says showcasing people like her can help address the imbalance. \"Role models are important.\" That's exactly why the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos wants her here. It's no secret that the annual gathering of chief executives, world leaders and celebrities has a problem attracting women delegates. The attendees are still overwhelmingly men, outnumbering women by five to one despite a quota system for large firms which must bring one woman for every four men. Every year photos of the suit-heavy gathering captioned \"spot the woman\" do the rounds on social media. Of course, this largely reflects the current reality - those at the top in both business and politics are predominantly male. WEF is undoubtedly trying. For the first time in the annual conference's 48-year history all seven of the conference's co-chairs are female, yet just 21% of attendees are women, little change from last year's 20%. Criticism of Davos as a boys' club is hard to shake, and not just because of the gender inequality. Anecdotal evidence suggests that even in these refined environs female attendees may have to deal with unwanted approaches. \"Things can get tricky,\" says Mark Turrell, who is attending Davos for the 10th year in a row. The founder of business social networking application Vork says the overlap between professional work and the notorious night time parties means there can be misunderstandings. \"There is an obvious grey zone where people are not sure. People try to find out and there may be a moment that wasn't quite expected,\" he says. Mr Turrell organises an informal group of young Davos attendees to help them reduce costs by sharing lifts and accommodation. He says some single attendees bring wedding or engagement rings to reduce the odds of unwanted approaches. In reality it's not that surprising. The outpouring of stories from women using #MeToo has showed just how widespread the issue is. From an unwanted comment or touch to (at the extreme end) physical abuse or rape, the problem is everywhere. \"No matter where we look men are practising these things,\" says Gary Barker, chief executive of Promundo, which works on engaging men to end female harassment and violence. Often in the workplace, he says it may be \"subtle psychological denigration\". One solution, he says, is to use quotas to help promote more women into senior roles. \"Short term a little bit of tokenism could help. There isn't a shortage of qualified women.\" WEF isn't shying away from the issue. This year's conference includes several sessions on what firms and society can do to help put a stop to sexual harassment as well as addressing the much broader issue of gender equality. On equality, WEF's evidence shows there's still a long way to go. Its latest report found that at the current rate of progress it will be another 100 years before we achieve gender parity worldwide. It's the first year since it started measuring the issue in 2006 that progress has gone backwards. But Shelley Zalis, founder of a firm which aims to advance workplace equality called The Female Quotient, believes the current heightened awareness will help. \"People are no longer accepting the status quo for the norm,\" she says. This year she has quadrupled the space of her women's networking lounge, which she sets up at major conferences each year. The space hosts talks from successful women and have attracted some heavyweight commercial partners including Unilever and Google. Normally called The Girls' Lounge, this year at Davos she's called it The Equality Lounge in recognition of the topic's pertinence - men can also attend. The location on one of the main roads leading to the conference centre means that it's impossible to miss. She describes the lounge \"as a safe place\" for women, somewhere where they can be themselves. \"A minority acting and feeling like the majority\" as she puts it. \"No one really understood it [the lounges], but now we've got a critical mass working together, understanding that their voice matters, all of a sudden we're seeing a shift,\" Ms Zalis says. This means the time is right to shake up the status quo with \"new rules\", she says. Yet the workplace solution at least isn't necessarily complicated. 'Little things' Research suggests that when firms have more women in senior roles, then more women are promoted or hired, when firms have more women in senior roles, then more women are promoted or hired. Booking.com is a case in point. Mrs Tans says more than half of its staff overall are female and they account for 20% of its tech team, typically a male dominated area. She says recruiting teams are always diverse and the firm makes sure shortlists of potential new staff or those being considered for promotion are from mixed backgrounds and sexes. It has also had an external audit to make sure the firm pays men and women equally. In the end, she says changing a lot of \"little things\" can help address the balance. \"Companies need to own this to change it. I'm not a fan of systems [quotas] but firms need to look at the data and and what they need to do to bring numbers up,\" she says. Next year, when we see whether or not Davos has more female attendees, we'll have a better idea if that has happened.",

Once at a safe distance, some stopped to sit and rest, many of them in tears, and to telephone relatives. Manchester Arena blast: 19 dead and more than 50 hurt Manchester explosion: Latest updates 'Some of the people looked dead' One mother who attended the concert by US singer Ariana Grande told the BBC her priority was simply getting her daughters home. Other people were more candid, and spoke of seeing people left \"covered in blood\", as they desperately tried to flee a scene of \"chaos\". Coats and mobile phones were reportedly left strewn on the arena floor as people dumped their possessions and ran. Paramedics were quickly at the scene, treating the injured. College student Sebastian Diaz, 19, travelled to the concert from Newcastle. \"Ariana Grande had just finished her last song and there was a huge bang,\" he said. \"I just saw running and it was just instinct to run with them. \"We actually ended up in a corridor and it was a dead end. It was terrifying. \"I found the main doors and people were crying everywhere.

It was very loud. \"I looked around and people were just spilling down, heading out of the building. \"It was sheer panic. Security told us we needed to leave but they were very caring. People were crying.\" A wide area around the venue was quickly cordoned off, and the crime scene later appeared to widen with police pushing people further and further back. Police officers cut a calm and reassuring tone, and urged people to move away. One thing that has been apparent is the many young people who had attended the event, some of them with parents or guardians.

On Twitter, Mr Ai said he would offer river crabs at a final event. \"The 7th of November, 'River Crab Fest' at Ai Weiwei's Shanghai studio, which is about to be demolished....\" reads a recent posting on his Twitter page.

They were being held aloft at a colourful rally to deliver a message to the government to stop spending cuts to welfare benefits. Many protesters were in wheelchairs or had guide dogs and white sticks. They had come from right across the UK and were representing some 40 or so charities and organisations and a whole range of disabilities, both visible and hidden. Asked what the cuts would mean to her, Kirsty Gerrard, who has cerebal palsy, summed it up in three words: \"Can't get out.\" Her carer elaborated, saying it would mean no transport to see family and friends and the closure of daycare centres where Miss Gerrard does most of her socialising Under cloudy skies, and against a backdrop of the London Eye, actress and charity campaigner Jane Asher told the crowds: \"This is the largest rally of disabled people in living memory, and that's something to be proud of - at the same time, it is very sad that it has come to this. \"I am calling on the government, with all of you, to put a stop to these cuts - they are cruel, they are misguided, and they are badly drafted.\" Most troubling, say campaigners, are cuts to the disability living allowance, which helps pay for people's transport and ensures they can live independently, and new work capability assessments, considered to be unfair for many. Lord Low, president of the Disability Alliance, estimates 700,000 people will be affected by the cuts. Later, Miss Asher, who is president of Arthritis Care, said there had been a rise in suicidal calls to its helpline. \"People are very frightened and upset,\" she said. At the rally however, any fear had been cast aside for the day leaving a good-humoured mood, but one with angry undertones. Gerard Maguire, from a deaf group in Islington, smiling and wearing latex blue gloves, attracted the attention of Labour MP Liam Byrne as he came off stage after an impassioned speech. A sign language interpreter told Mr Byrne he was wearing them to symbolise the government \"cutting their hands off\". 'No privacy' Dino Goldie, a 33-year-old from Bath who has been blind since the age of six, was one of many who were desperate to get across the reality of being disabled. \"Disability is not a consumer choice,\" he said. \"How would you feel about having your bank statements and medical notes read by your next-door neighbour? How would you like to be barred from clubs, bars and taxis because of your disability? \"This government has some very strange notions of dignity, privacy and responsibility.\" There was also anger directed at benefit cheats. One placard summed it up: \"I'm no scrounger, I have MS\". Jim Lodge, from Peckham, who is blind, worries people who already fiddle the system will go on receiving benefits, but honest people - who haven't learned how to play the system - will end up with no help. He is one of few in the blind community to work full time, earning less than £1,000 a month, but says it does not go far. \"If you want to buy anything, it's four times dearer than for sighted people,\" he said. Talking weighing scales would set him back £40, whereas an ordinary set from Argos would be no more than £10, he says. Then there are the white sticks which cost £20 each, and another £10 every time the tip needs replacing. An electronic voice-operated organiser might cost £150, while special reading devices near £1,600. Without it though, blind people have to rely on other people to read their private mail, says Ray Steptoe, from nearby Bermondsey, who is also blind. \"It's expensive to be disabled. \"The disability living allowance helps us retain a reasonably normal life, whatever normal is.\"",

            "input": "Data from 22 police forces shows 1,136 children under the age of criminal responsibility were searched. The figures were revealed by the All Party Parliamentary Group for Children. The Association of Chief Police Officers (Acpo) said children are often stopped because of suspicion that they are being used to convey drugs or arms. Scotland Yard said six children under the age of five had been searched by its officers in recent years. The force could not provide data on under-10s for the whole five-year period, meaning it was not counted as one of the 22 forces, but said it had recorded 136 stop and searches on under-10s between 2011 and 2013. 'Genuine cases' Acpo's national policing lead for stop and search, Cdr Adrian Hanstock, said there had been a \"recording error\" that \"gave the person a default age of zero when no address was entered has led to an inaccurate figure of children under 10 years old who were allegedly searched\". The error was from one force, Sussex Police, said Enver Solomon of the National Children's Bureau (NCB), which released the figures. The force had recorded the highest number of stop and searches on children under 10 out of the 22 forces that provided data. Cdr Hanstock said: \"In the genuine cases, children are often stopped because of intelligence that they are being exploited by adults, including gang members, to carry drugs, weapons or get involved in other criminal activity.\" 'Disproportionate' The report found that more than one million stop and searches were carried out on people under the age of 18 across 26 forces. That accounted for between 13% and 26% of all stop and searches carried out by those forces. Data also suggested stop and search was used \"disproportionately\" on black and ethnic minority children and young people, the report said. However the report warned that there were \"inconsistencies in the collection and collation of data\" meaning it is \"difficult to get an accurate picture for all forces in England and Wales\". Baroness Massey said: \"We were surprised to find that despite the fact so many children are being stopped and searched by the police there is no practice guidance to inform how to deal with children, particularly those who are young or vulnerable.\" 'Exploitation risk' She said many were in need of care and protection, adding: \"The police need to make sure that they don't see children as small adults and do more to ensure they always adopt an age appropriate response to every child.\" Mr Solomon said: \"Any child who comes into contact with the police should always be treated differently from an adult. \"For children who are at risk of exploitation, abuse or violence it is particularly important that the police know what steps to take to protect them and put their welfare first.\" Cdr Hanstock said: \"Figures collected from some police forces show that a significant proportion of all-age stop and searches are carried out on young people. \"The reality is that young adults are disproportionately represented as both victims of crime and offenders.\" He added: \"Stop and search that is intelligence-led, proportionate and carried out with professionalism and respect is an important tool in tackling crime, especially knife, gun, gang crimes and terrorism. \"Our ultimate goal is always to reduce crime and help keep people safe. \"As a service we are striving to improve how we use this vital tactic with a focus on those areas and types of crime that people are most concerned about.\" Legislation considered Cdr Hanstock said Acpo would consider the recommendations published on Tuesday \"and the findings of the full report published later this year to ensure we are only stopping children and young people when we need to and that they are dealt with sensitively and appropriately\". In Scotland, the BBC has revealed that almost 3,000 eight to 12-year-olds were searched between April and December last year. Police Scotland announced a pilot scheme in Fife in June, under which the parents of all children subject to stop and search would be given a letter explaining why. In April, Home Secretary Theresa May told MPs she would seek a change in the law in England and Wales if the number of stop and searches did not come down.",

Lord Prior said the IRA had tried to kill him. It targeted the Tory cabinet during their party conference in Brighton in 1984, and the bomb killed five people including the Conservative MP, Sir Anthony Berry. But Lord Prior said there was \"a deeper side to it as well as a terrorist side\". \"I know we did not win it but I am not certain the other side won,\" he said. \"As time went on it became possible for both sides to get into a position where it was easier to make peace than make war.\" From 1979 until 1981, Lord Prior was Mrs Thatcher's employment secretary. In 1981, after a series of disputes with her over economic policies, she moved him to the Northern Ireland Office. He left the Cabinet in 1984 and stepped down from the Commons in 1987. He is best remembered in Northern Ireland for introducing \"rolling devolution\" in 1982 to elect an assembly with gradually increasing powers. The nationalist SDLP decided not to take up seats and the body was dissolved in 1986. Fellow Conservative peer and former party chairman Lord Norman Tebbit, whose wife was paralysed in the Brighton bombing, told Peter Taylor: \"I have no sympathy for those who declared the war but having said all that, one way or another, a ceasefire was achieved and to that extent it was a price that was worth paying. \"I don't think this was a war that was won, it was a war which ended in a truce.\" The documentary Who Won The War will be broadcast on BBC One NI on Monday 29 September at 21:00 BST.",

            "input": "Mark D'ArcyParliamentary correspondent This week, the Commons intakes of 2015 and 2017 have had their first taste of what parliamentary business will be like in the months and years ahead, as a vast body of Brexit legislation has to be passed, before the UK exits the EU. After a gentle start to this Parliament, the late night votes and complex procedural game-playing seen in recent days will become the new normal - and the government is attempting to foreclose on possible sources of trouble. The Business of the House motion MPs are due to vote on this evening would assign the government a majority on a variety of committees, giving them control of various key moments in the parliamentary process. First and foremost, the government would have a majority on the new Selection Committee, which will nominate the membership of the Public Bill Committees, which do the detailed line-by-line scrutiny of legislation. Tonight's motion nominates nine MPs to serve on the committee - five of them Conservatives, plus three Labour MPs and one from the SNP, all whips but for the Chair, probably the Conservative Bill Wiggin. But one nuance of these numbers is that the chair only votes if the committee is tied, so the normal balance is 4-4 with a Conservative casting vote. If agreed, it would allow the Conservatives to control the numbers on Public Bill Committees (MPs sometimes refer to these by their old title of Standing Committees). The motion before the Commons provides that there would be equal numbers between the government and Opposition where a bill committee had even numbers of members; and a government majority where it had odd numbers - this last bit is the part of the motion which has no precedent… And this is the bit which would probably be deployed to bolster the government's position in the committees dealing with really critical measures. Importance of the chair's role Meanwhile, in evenly-balanced committees, the role of the chair still tilts the balance in favour of the government - because in the event of a tied vote, the chair votes to keep the bill in the form in which it entered the committee, so they would vote against any amendment. (This mirrors the way the Speaker's casting vote is deployed in the Chamber, in the event of a tied vote there). What the government appears to be worried about is the prospect of its legislation being heavily amended by Opposition MPs, if it does not control Public Bill Committees - forcing it to spend precious Commons debating time undoing those amendments, when the bill in question returns to the Chamber for report stage consideration. And there would also be a serious worry about Delegated Legislation Committees (also chosen by the Committee of Selection) forcing the Commons to debate important Brexit-related secondary legislation. If the Opposition runs wild, the argument goes, the whole legislative programme could be bogged down. But, senior Conservatives add, it is a rather theoretical worry, because there is no precedent for a government not taking a majority on bill committees, even a minority government. The minority Labour governments of the mid-1970s provide the only recent precedent; during the brief February-October 1974 Parliament, when there was a minority Labour administration under Harold Wilson, the Committee of Selection still had a Labour majority, and proceeded to nominate bill committees with equal numbers of government and Opposition MPs, but, crucially, with a Labour chair - allowing their government to win on their casting vote. Rooker-Wise amendment: lesson from history The Labour government of November 1974-April 1979 had a narrow majority when it started, but saw it eroded away by by-elections and defections - but it continued to use control of the Committee of Selection to nominate standing committees with a government majority, except for a brief period when the Labour Chairman of the Committee of Selection, Hugh Delargy, died suddenly. This put Labour into a minority on the committee, because another Labour member took the chair, but was then restricted to only voting when it was tied. A deal was eventually done - and Labour continued to give itself a majority on bill committees, but only via that vital chair's casting vote, for the remainder of that Parliament. It is worth recalling that this is the context in which the famous \"Rooker-Wise\" amendment arose. This is the now-legendary amendment, put by two Labour backbenchers on a bill committee for a Finance Bill, which re-wrote a Labour budget, with Conservative backing. At the time it was seen as a terrible humiliation for the government, but also as a virtuoso exercise of backbench power in a hung Parliament.",

These malicious developers often create new accounts to avoid Google's checks, it said. Others hijack existing accounts to exploit the good reputation which established developers have accrued.

She added that one malware creator had been found to have used 707 different ID codes to try to evade detection. Data control The \"more thorough\" checks will be done on application creators who do not have a \"track record\" with Google, wrote Sameer Samat, product manager for Android and Google Play. Google would be taking days to investigate developers who open new accounts to see if they have links to \"bad faith\" developers who have a history of making malicious and unsafe apps, he said. It was common to see such developers try to \"game\" Google's systems to get around the existing controls, he said. App developers seeking to abuse the Play Store, or make malicious apps, would have their accounts blocked, he said. Humans would make the final decisions on blocks and suspensions. 'More control' The closer look at developers follows other changes Google has made to its policies which have forced app makers to disclose what data they want to gather, and restricts access to some features on phones. It has also insisted that app makers ensure their programs work with the latest, most secure versions of Android's application programming interfaces (APIs) . Currently, app makers are supposed to target at least Android 9's APIs, which was released in August 2018. In addition, said Google in a separate statement, the extra checks would help limit abuse of the personal information people surrender to apps. \"Users want more control and transparency over how their personal information is being used by applications, and expect Android, as the platform, to do more to provide that control and transparency,\" it told the BBC.

            "input": "By Kathryn WestcottBBC News Magazine Of the 115,000 or so postboxes dotted around the country, only a single \"Liverpool Special\" still graces a public space, in the city's Albert Dock. It is a rare example of a piece of street furniture that perhaps more than any other object helps create a quintessentially British landscape. The red phone box is (largely) gone. The red postbox remains. The denizens of conservation areas still jealously hang on to their heritage phone boxes. But will the red postbox face the same fate, reduced to a pleasant rarity? Many of us still give directions to our own homes using the cast-iron box as a landmark. Its design has changed little since 1879. For many communities, they are a reassuring presence - a cheerful, red splash that has stood out on British streets for a more than a century and a half. But with privatisation looming - possibly this year - are other colours set to usurp the familiar red? There is now an inexorable shift to email from the traditional letter. The peak for Royal Mail deliveries was in 2005-06 when some 84 million items were delivered every working day. Today it's roughly 58 million, according to Royal Mail. Much of that is business mail that never plops through a traditional postbox. The first pillar boxes were erected at St Helier in Jersey in 1852, at the recommendation of novelist Anthony Trollope - who was an employee of the General Post Office at the time. The first boxes were erected in Britain a year later. Designs varied but in 1859 an improved cylindrical design was adopted for standard use nationwide. A Liverpool postmaster decided to rebel, and after a waging a long battle with London, the Liverpool Special letter box - with its increased capacity and chunkily cast crown on top - was born. The Letter Box Study Group (LBSG), which maps sites across the UK, is not just concerned with this postal oddity today, but with the fate of all the boxes. In 2002, Royal Mail undertook to repaint each of its letter boxes every three years. But, according to Andrew Young, chairman of the LBSG, many are not being properly maintained. \"There was a massive amount of publicity about the painting of the gold boxes during the Olympics and Paralympics,\" he says. \"Walk into any tourist shop and you will see post boxes replicated in miniature as souvenirs. But look at some of them on the street, they are poorly painted, collection plates are missing. They should be doing more to maintain them - there is lack of pride in their presentation. \"In some rural areas and towns, the letter boxes look like they haven't been painted for 10 or 20 years.\" But the Royal Mail denies it has been neglecting its letter boxes, saying a great deal of effort goes into maintaining and painting them. \"We repaint and refurbish them on a regular basis,\" says spokesman Nick Martens. \"We also respond directly to reports by our staff and customers about individual boxes that require urgent attention.\" Young's view, however, is that in a deregulated system, there could be a decline in numbers of the traditional form of the red boxes. \"There is a question over who would become responsible for the heritage,\" says Young. \"It would take a campaign to determine who had liability.\" The Postal Services Act 2011, which paved the way for privatisation, makes reference to \"an operator's 'postal infrastructure'\" which, it says, includes \"physical infrastructure (such as letter boxes)\". But the act does not specify what colour those boxes should be. What would happen if, say, a firm bought a stake and wanted some of the boxes painted orange? As it stands there's no specific legal barrier. A Department for Business, Information and Skills spokeswoman, however, says: \"Royal Mail is 100% committed to keeping red postboxes as they are. Any change is beyond the realms of even the most fertile imagination.\" When the bill was making its way though Parliament, Conservative MP for Kettering Philip Hollobone called for legal protection for red boxes, which he said could be lost forever. There is formal legal protection for the image of the monarch on stamps. Young says he does not \"expect a wholesale removal\". A private operator that didn't feel the need to use letter boxes could just leave them there, shuttered. But who would maintain the paintwork? Would residents groups have to effectively adopt them and keep the red paint handy? The same was done for many remaining red telephone boxes. The traditional letter box has many fans. Jonathan Glancey, writer and author of Pillar Boxes, sees them as miniature works of architecture, as a \"glorious piece of public design\", both functional and aesthetic, that has stood the test of time. \"Functionality was key but they were part of the school of design when every-day objects were handsome, regular and standardised. They came from the same school of design as the old telephone boxes and red buses.\" \"They tell a story about who we are,\" he says. \"The very first standardised design - the Penfold - derived its look from the Greek design,\" he says. \"This went with the spread of literature during the Victorian times, when the Classics - writing and writing letters - was so important.\" He says they have come to symbolise a time before public services \"lost cohesive value\". \"Postboxes - like the old telephone boxes - are symbolic of democratic order and high standards. Whether you lived in Toxteth or Mayfair, there was the same standards for public design.\" Pillar boxes, he says, show that the street is special and that people care about it. The street is part of British culture. \"Not just something to walk down and to make money from,\" Glancey says. You can follow the Magazine on Twitter and on Facebook",

The boys - aged 13 and 14 - shot at him from the window of a house in the town of Erding on 10 June, prosecutors say. It's not clear if they hit the king but no-one was injured. King Vajiralongkorn, 64, took the throne last year following the death of his father. \"As of now it is not certain that the king himself was hit,\" a spokesman for the local prosecutor's office, Thomas Rauscher, told BBC Thai. \"All that is known is that the king was part of a group of cyclists and that shots were fired at this group.\" He said shots were also fired later when the group drove past in the king's car. \"The total number of shots is as yet unknown. We know however that more than one shot was fired.\" It's not clear if the boys knew who they were shooting at. The 14-year-old is being investigated on suspicion of attempted bodily harm, although the king declined to press charges. The 13-year-old is too young to face prosecution under German laws. \"The king was not interested in taking any legal action against the boys… But in Germany, it is not up to the victim to decide [about the charges],\" said Mr Rauscher. The monarch's personal guards are understood to have called the police. The king has two villas on Lake Starnberg, about 60km (37.5 miles) away from Erding, Bild Zeitung reports. He will not be formally crowned until some time after the cremation of his father, which is expected later this year.

Mr Lammy questioned the \"science\" behind the new restrictions, saying: \"It's not clear where that came from.\" But the culture secretary said: \"There is definitely science behind it.\" Oliver Dowden, speaking to BBC One's Andrew Marr Show, insisted: \"That's why we're requiring people to be seated in pubs and restaurants, so that stops the flow of them to and from the bar. \"We are reducing the closing times to stop people staying later and drinking.\" \"And the point about all of this is that everyone has their part to play. If we all play by the rules, we can ensure that there are not further, more draconian restrictions,\" the culture secretary added. Under the new restrictions, which came into force on Thursday, all pubs, bars and restaurants in England are to shut no later than 22:00 each night. They are also restricted to table service only. But concerns have been raised by both businesses and community groups that the new curfew encourages customers to all leave at once and to carry on drinking together at one person's home. Brewer and pub chain Greene King told the BBC: \"Without the usual slow 'wind-down' time that pubs would see with a gradual closure, customers were all leaving at once which presented more of a challenge for the pub teams managing people's safety on exiting the premises. \"We have also seen examples of people leaving our pubs to buy alcohol in shops to drink elsewhere,\" its statement said. It is calling on the government to reconsider many of the measures - which were introduced since the number of Covid-19 infections started to increase again. They urged additional help for the hospitality industry: \"The measures have not been well thought through and the combined impact of [the curfew], the challenges of table service-only and the fact that the government are unfairly targeting the hospitality sector has had a cumulative negative impact.\" Pub chain operator Mitchells & Butlers, which runs brands like All Bar One, said it was too early to tell what impact the curfew might have on trade, although \"it creates an additional challenge as it forces customers to leave all at once rather than dispersing gradually\". A spokesman said it presented an extra hurdle \"in what are already very challenging and uncertain times for our industry\". The boss of the Wetherspoon pub chain has also questioned the introduction of the 22:00 curfew. Tim Martin said on Tuesday: \"The main problem with the 22:00 curfew is that it's another random and arbitrary move by the government, which lacks logic or scientific credibility.\" He said that it would reduce sales for \"hard-pressed\" pubs and restaurants, while also increasing \"the level of unsupervised socialising\" at home and elsewhere. Speaking on the Marr show, Prof Mark Woolhouse, who sits on the government's advisory body that models pandemics, said that modelling of the effect of the new curfew had not been carried out to his knowledge. He explained: \"The models do not have the sort of granularity that you can explore in detail for closing times for pubs, or even different versions of the rule of six that we now have around the country. \"So those sorts of things have to be judgement calls based on the public health evidence.\" A spokeswoman for the Department for Business said: \"These measures strike a balance between saving lives by protecting our NHS and the most vulnerable and minimising the wider impact on the economy and schools. She said the government had taken \"immediate action\" as the latest data suggested a \"considerable rise\" in the infection rate from within the hospitality sector in recent weeks.\" \"We've acted decisively to support the hospitality sector throughout the coronavirus outbreak, and will keep all measures under constant review,\" she added. After falling from their April peak, confirmed new coronavirus cases in the UK have been rising again since early August. On Sunday, the UK recorded a further 5,693 cases and 17 deaths within 28 days of a positive test. The number of deaths recorded over the weekend tends to be lower than during the week because of reporting delays.",

Since May, she has sold 900 Chris Whitty mugs - the majority in the run-up to Christmas. And she is expecting to sell more in the new year. \"We are trying to work out why we have sold so many,\" she says. Prof Whitty first appeared on our television screens during Downing Street's coronavirus daily press briefings, back in March. Over the last few months he's become a familiar sight, usually standing next to Prime Minister Boris Johnson, providing an update on the pandemic. His briefings have been peppered with requests of \"next slide please\" - as he explains graphs showing the UK's fluctuating R number and other complex data. The apparent catchphrase has become the inspiration behind Hannah's bestselling mug. \"Our Chris Whitty 'next slide please' mug has been our biggest seller of the year. In fact, in the past 24 hours it's sold 10 times our second best seller,\" she says. \"It really has gone crazy.\" Lisa Whitehorn, from Waldron in East Sussex, is one of hundreds of people who have bought Chris Whitty novelty prayer candles from Kent-based company My Sainted Aunt. \"I went on the website and immediately fell for Chris,\" she says. \"He has been my light in lockdown.\" She says the candles are \"tongue-in-cheek\", adding: \"We all need a bit of a laugh.\" And of course the scientist wouldn't qualify as a true cult hero without his own fan club. Sean Ryan says it was early in the pandemic that he spotted Prof Whitty's growing cult status - and that's when he set up the Chris Whitty Appreciation Society. The Facebook group has more than 5,000 members and some fans share their artwork on Instagram. \"I think Chris Whitty captured the imagination and hearts of the public as this respected, seemingly shy and understated scientist, at a time we needed a calm and reassuring voice,\" Sean says. But it's not just Prof Whitty who is gaining a cult following in the pandemic. Sean says fellow scientist Prof Van-Tam picked up \"a legion of fans\" for his \"no-nonsense\" attitude when former No 10 adviser Dominic Cummings was accused of breaking lockdown rules in May. Prof Van-Tam, also a regular face at the Downing Street briefings, has won fans for his ability to explain scientific concepts in layman's terms - along with his penchant for colourful analogies and metaphors. In one analogy he compared one stage of the pandemic to scoring an equaliser in the 70th minute of a football game. Another likened the development of the Covid vaccine to a train journey. Sean's business, Badly Drawn Celebs, sells t-shirts, posters and mugs, with celebrity designs - including those of Prof Whitty and his deputy Prof Van-Tam. Through his first round of sales of mugs, t-shirts, phone cases and posters - featuring Prof Whitty, Prof Van-Tam and their colleague Jenny Harries, deputy chief medical officer for England, he made £3,500 - and donated it all to NHS charities. So why do we adopt such unlikely heroes? Dr Dimitrios Tsivrikos, a consumer psychologist at University College London, says it is \"no surprise\" people have started creating merchandise featuring the scientists. \"We are always struggling to find something to explain things, so we need to have a brand ambassador - they have become brand ambassadors,\" he says. \"They are part of the solution so they are seen as heroes.\" Dr Tsivrikos says fashion also has an influence. \"We always want to be relevant,\" he adds. At the moment the \"key denominator\" we all share is Covid-19, he says. \"So people will look for heroes, look for characters, look for personalities. People are inspired always by personalities.\" He predicts we will begin to see \"I got vaccinated\" t-shirts as the UK's vaccination programme progresses - giving people a sense of identity. \"We all need visual clues to declare who we are,\" he says. So why does Hannah think her Prof Whitty merchandise is proving so popular? \"Possibly because he sums up 2020 so well,\" she replies. \"It's sad that me and my friends have lost work,\" the professional dancer adds. \"But this (her business) has kept me busy, I have Chris Whitty to thank for that.\"",

The comments came in a speech to business leaders on Monday, in which she vowed to end EU free movement after Brexit. Downing Street said EU citizens made an \"important contribution\" to the UK. The government says it wants the estimated 3.5 million citizens of other EU nations already living in the UK to stay after Brexit but they will have to apply for leave to remain. But Mrs May used her speech to the CBI to highlight the fact that the proposed EU withdrawal agreement will bring an \"end to free movement, once and for all\". The government has yet to set out details of what this will mean in practice in the longer term, but Mrs May has said at some point in the future, after the post-Brexit relationship between the UK and the EU kicks in, that EU citizens will be treated the same as those arriving from outside the EU. \"It will no longer be the case that EU nationals, regardless of the skills or experience they have to offer, can jump the queue ahead of engineers from Sydney or software developers from Delhi,\" said Mrs May in her speech. \"Instead of a system based on where a person is from, we will have one that is built around the talents and skills a person has to offer.\" Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said the prime minister's language was \"offensive\" and \"disgraceful\". \"That the case for Brexit has been reduced to such a miserable and self-defeating bottom line is depressing in the extreme. Let's lift our sights higher than this. \"Actually, the more I think about it, the more offensive 'jump the queue' is as a description of a reciprocal right of free movement. Really disgraceful.\" The European Parliament's Brexit co-ordinator Guy Verhofstadt also criticised Mrs May. \"EU citizens living, working, contributing to UK communities, didn't 'jump the queue' and neither did UK nationals in Europe,\" he said. \"They were exercising rights which provided freedom and opportunities. We will fight to ensure these continue in the future, especially after any transition.\" EU citizens living in the UK took to social media to accuse the prime minister of using them as scapegoats to shore up support for her Brexit agreement. Citizens rights campaigner and professor of history at Northumbria University Tanja Bueltmann said the PM's \"despicable\" comments were a \"punch in the face\" for EU citizens like her who had made their home in the UK. \"We are your neighbours, colleagues, friends and family; your doctors, hairdressers and teachers,\" she said in a Huffington Post article. Mrs May's words \"essentially cast us as unwanted queue-jumpers, cheats and people without skills and talents undeserving to be here, in our own home,\" she added. She accused the prime minister of trying to set one group against another - and said her words would mean EU citizens would have to \"brace themselves for yet more hate over the coming months\". \"The press called May's speech her Brexit fightback. It is not. But it is a fight on the back of EU citizens. In less than a week, May reduced us from 'valued citizens' to 'queue-jumpers.'\" Mike Galsworthy, a director of anti-Brexit campaign Scientists4EU, accused the prime minister of playing a \"cynical\" blame game to sell her Brexit agreement, in a video message on Twitter. \"EU citizens already contributing to the UK didn't get here by jumping the queue, they got here by being the best person for that job,\" said Mr Galsworthy. Any hurdles faced by workers from outside the EU, such as visa and financial stipulations, had been placed there by the UK government, he added. The prime minister's official spokesman, when asked whether Mrs May regarded EU nationals currently working in the NHS and other public services as having \"jumped the queue\", said: \"We have always been clear of the important contribution which EU citizens make to our economy and to public services. \"The point the prime minister is making is that we wish to have a global system where people's skills are the basis on which they are able to work in the UK. \"At the moment, we have two systems in place - one for people coming to the UK from outside the EU and one for people coming under the rules of free movement. \"It's a fact that people coming under the system of free movement don't need a visa and those from outside the EU do.\" The spokesman said an immigration white paper setting out the proposed new system was due to be published \"shortly\".",

EU officials speak of a \"big gap\", unlikely to be closed any time soon. The UK predicts highly technical talks, with progress coming in later sessions. The British want to broaden the discussion to include a possible post-Brexit relationship, while the EU's chief negotiator Michel Barnier wants the focus to remain on his priority issues: citizens' rights, the UK's financial obligations and the Irish border. On the first, EU officials insist that the European Court of Justice is the only way to protect and enforce the rights of EU citizens living in the UK after Brexit. The British say no other country would accept a foreign court having such a role. There could be progress on less controversial elements, such as social security and the recognition of professional qualifications. Brexit: All you need to know May says UK leaving EU court jurisdiction - BBC News Italian doctor given month to leave UK Brexit: What is at stake in EU-UK talks? The UK accuses Mr Barnier of \"massively over-egging\" his demands for money. That view is shared in private by at least one other member state. A British legal analysis of the so-called Brexit bill will be on the table at the talks, along with a discussion about the UK's share in the European Investment Bank. The EU has welcomed the UK's acceptance that it has financial obligations - but wants details of what the UK is, and is not, willing to pay for. The Irish border is becoming emotive. A senior EU source described the UK position paper on the subject as \"magical thinking\" and cautioned against the peace process being used as \"a bargaining chip\". There is the potential for agreement in some highly technical areas, such as legal co-operation and the transfer of nuclear material. A British distraction? British civil servants are proud of the flurry of papers they have produced on the future relationship between the UK and EU, in areas such as customs. Diplomats from the 27 other member states have read them with interest, but describe them as aspirations, not detailed policy proposals. However, EU negotiators have interpreted the documents as an attempt to subvert the EU's timetable. The EU aims to settle withdrawal-related issues before discussing co-operation on trade and security. \"There are sensitive political issues that need to be dealt with early, so as not to leave them open at the end, because that increases the risk of failure rather than managing it,\" warned one EU official. And while there are frequent reminders that the clock is ticking, another EU source said: \"We have not encountered a situation where lack of time prevents us from advancing, it's been a lack of substance.\" Events in the UK are also being noticed.

Corroboration means two separate sources of evidence are needed for a case to go to trial. The campaigners will meet MSPs at Holyrood later. They are also due to raise the issue in a meeting with Justice Secretary Humza Yousaf. Ms Angus told BBC Scotland's The Nine that she had tried to take her case to court, but it was dropped because of the need for corroboration, which is a unique feature of Scots law. She said she was raped for the first time when she was 13-years-old. Over the next two years, she said she was raped and sexually abused multiple times by a group of six men. 'I just felt like collapsing' She said that having to recount \"incredibly detailed information\" that she had \"buried for over 40 years\" has left her on medication for PTSD and anxiety. Investigating the case and trying to bring it to court was a long and complicated process. She said: \"Because there were several people involved, it took about 18 months, probably, for everybody to be investigated. After one man was arrested, she felt hopeful of a prosecution: \"I was getting quite interested in the fact that maybe finally there will be a prosecution, and they said 'Sorry, no corroboration, that's the end of the line'. \"I was standing in my office at work on the phone and that was it, and I just felt like collapsing.\" Now, she is campaigning, along with other survivors of sexual abuse, for corroboration to be dropped. In 2014 SNP ministers had proposed abolishing the need for corroboration, although this was dropped in 2015 after a review by former high court judge Lord Bonomy recommended it should be retained in some circumstances. Ms Angus said she appreciated why the standard of evidence should remain high: \"I understand that you do have to protect people. \"I'm not for changing the law just so people will be falsely convicted, of course not, the law has to protect everybody and everyone deserves a defence. \"However, it's the quality and sometimes the quantity of evidence.\" In her case, however, she thinks that had there been no requirement for corroboration there would have been enough evidence for a prosecution. \"In my case it was patterns of behaviour over several people that would have taken someone to court and you know it's jut left me feeling kind of defeated, to be honest.\" Brian McConnachie QC said that the merits of corroboration had already been debated and a decision had already been made for it to be continued. He said: \"I know that some people consider that corroboration is something which we ought to abandon or abolish, and as often as not the argument is given that it should be abolished because nobody else has it. \"I've never been convinced by that argument. \"We went through a process where it was discussed at significant and considerable length, and at the end of that process the decision was taken that it should go no further.\" Jury research A Scottish government spokeswoman said: \"There was no parliamentary or legal consensus for the removal of the corroboration requirement. \"We asked Lord Bonomy to conduct a review into what additional safeguards may be required if the corroboration rule was removed. \"The review recommended research into jury reasoning and decision-making should be undertaken so that any changes to the jury system are made on a fully informed basis.\" She added: \"Any future consideration of corroboration reform needs to await the findings of the jury research, which we expect to be complete by Autumn 2019. \"Since the review reported, we have taken forward a wide range of measures to improve how the justice system deals with allegations of sexual offending and to improve support for victims. \"The justice secretary and lord advocate co-chair a new victims' taskforce to improve the provision of advice and information for victims of crime and their families and the Scottish government also legislated to introduce statutory jury directions in certain sexual offence cases.\"",

He cast doubt on a UK proposal to give Northern Ireland a future veto over EU rules, saying all parts of the UK would have to sign up to the terms of exit. The government said it had offered \"a number of proposals\" as alternatives to the Irish border backstop. The backstop - an insurance policy designed to avoid a hard border on the island of Ireland - has proved a key sticking point. The government said \"constructive discussions\" were ongoing and the UK had been \"clear\" in those discussions \"that the antidemocratic backstop needs to be removed\" if a new deal was to be reached. Boris Johnson has insisted a deal is possible at a crucial summit of EU leaders on 17 October - although ministers have been reluctant to reveal the details of new proposals in advance for fear they will be \"rubbished\" by the EU. The PM has insisted he will not accept a further delay beyond 31 October despite MPs passing a law requiring him to seek an extension if there is no deal by 19 October. After meeting Mr Barnier and Mr Juncker in Luxembourg on Monday, Mr Johnson said both sides agreed to accelerate efforts to reach an agreement. There were significant moments in Strasbourg this morning, even if the discussion lacked the fireworks present in the Brexit debate elsewhere. Jean-Claude Juncker clearly signalled that in his last few weeks in office he will show solidarity with the Republic of Ireland rather than siding with the UK to get a deal. That will disappoint those in the UK who bank on him wanting an agreement to secure his legacy. The EU chief negotiator, Michel Barnier, gave a cautious thumbs-up to the big British idea of an all-Ireland zone for plant and animal health. But he appeared to give a thumbs-down to another - giving the Stormont Assembly a decisive say over the Irish backstop, or whatever takes its place. Briefing the European Parliament, Mr Juncker said the lunch had been \"friendly and constructive\" but there had been no progress on the main sticking point - the UK's demand that the Northern Irish backstop should be removed from the current agreement. Mr Juncker said any alternative to the backstop must achieve the same objectives - to prevent the need for physical infrastructure on the border with the Republic of Ireland, to safeguard the EU's single market and protect all-Ireland economic co-operation. \"I said to Mr Johnson that I have no emotional attachment to the backstop but I stand by the objectives it is intended to achieve,\" he said. \"That is why I called on the PM to come forward with operational proposals in writing. \"Until such time those proposals have been presented, I will not be able to tell you looking you straight in the eye that any real progress has been achieved.\" Mr Barnier said the UK had made it clear which parts of the backstop - which would see Northern Ireland closely tied to the single market and the UK follow EU customs rules until a new trade deal is agreed - it did not like, but \"that is not enough to move towards a solution\". \"Almost three years after the British referendum, ladies and gentlemen, it is certainly not a question of pretending to negotiate,\" he said. If the UK wanted to remove the backstop, he said it must come up with answers to all the problems the temporary \"safety net\" was designed to solve. However, he appeared to reject UK proposals to give the Stormont Assembly in Belfast a say over how much Northern Ireland conforms with EU customs rules and diverges from England, Wales and Scotland while the UK remained in any backstop arrangement. \"It is up to the UK government to ensure the support of the Northern Irish institutions for the withdrawal agreement that would be signed on behalf of the whole of the UK,\" he said. 'Caring nanny' Following a three-hour debate, the European Parliament approved a motion calling for any Brexit deal to include a backstop and also voted for the UK to be granted a further extension beyond 31 October if it asks for one. During the session, MEP Guy Verhofstadt called on the UK to give all three million EU nationals living in the country an automatic right to remain. Rather than channelling the \"angry Hulk\" - a reference to Mr Johnson's recent comparison of the UK to the Incredible Hulk - the Parliament's Brexit spokesman said the PM should adopt the persona of a \"caring nanny\", such as Mrs Doubtfire. But Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage said it was clear the UK and EU were paving the way for an agreement next month which would be portrayed as a \"victory\" for both sides. Even without the backstop, he said the deal on the table would be \"bad\" for the UK as it would see it \"trapped in EU rules and under the auspices of the European Court\". He also criticised they way Mr Johnson was treated during a visit to Luxembourg last week. He said the country's \"pipsqueak\" leader Xavier Bettel had \"ritually humiliated\" his counterpart by appearing at a press conference without him and berating his Brexit policy.",

Yet any small pang of joy experienced will have been extinguished as there hasn't been a widespread increase in savings rates. What's going on? Are banks and building societies ripping us all off? The simple answer is no, at least not because they haven't immediately passed on Thursday's 0.25% interest rate rise. Pass it on! Mark Carney, the Bank of England governor, said he expected all providers to increase returns for savers. \"Banks did pass on the cuts to their depositors, and we expect competition to push it in the other direction,\" he said. And the fact is they will - in their own good time. It's a certainty that all the major savings institutions will improve the interest rates they pay on deposit accounts by the beginning of December. They just don't react to a Bank of England base rate change immediately anymore. Severed link \"The link between the bank base rate and savings has been severed for years, most recently thanks to government lending initiatives, which has meant banks don't need savers' cash to fund their mortgage books as they used to,\" explains Rachell Springall of Moneyfacts. In short, the savings rates they offer are driven by competitive pressures rather than tied to the Bank of England rate. That means you're far more likely to get a decent return from a smaller institution which is keen to build up its business. And those banks and building societies that have announced plans to increase savings rates from December are simply doing \"a PR exercise\", according to Andrew Hagger of Moneycomms. \"Other banks and building societies, perhaps with a larger and more diverse range of savings products, will take a more considered view and will need internal approval before making an announcement,\" he says. But whether they announce quickly to get a PR advantage, or wait a week or so to take a considered view, savers won't be affected as rate changes normally take a month or so to take affect. In any event, rather than being concerned about such a minimal increase savers would do better to actually check what rate they're being paid. They're likely to be in for a shock. The average easy access account rate has fallen from 0.45% in December 2016 to just 0.37% today, according to Savings Champion. \"With savings rates with the High Street providers paying as little as 0.01%, it's time for savers to vote with their feet and earn as much interest as they can elsewhere,\" says Anna Bowes of Savings Champion.",

But new regulatory and customs checks do apply. More than €50m (£45m; $61m) have been spent on preparing the French side of the Channel for this moment. The money was spent on new buildings to carry out the checks, more staff, more car parks and a so-called smart border system designed to keep traffic moving. But by midday on Monday, customs officials at the port of Calais were still waiting to check their first vehicle of the day. It was a similar story at the Channel Tunnel. France's new smart border system - designed to move most of the customs process online - appeared to be working smoothly. Only lorries that require extra checks are stopped. \"Brexit is not synonymous with congestion!\" the president of Calais port, Jean-Marc Puissesseau, told me. But it is too soon to cry victory. Commercial traffic across the Channel was less than 20% of normal levels on Monday, and the major test will come in the next few weeks when smaller companies return and volume begins to grow. Border controls here would be a lot more cumbersome if the UK government had not signed a trade agreement with the EU last month. France's junior minister for trade relations, Franck Riester, told the BBC the agreement was based on a mixture of good faith and concrete checks. He also questioned what the UK's new trade freedom amounted to. \"The idea that, in the future, we are going to trade with countries on the other side of the world rather than with our neighbours is, in my opinion, completely out of date,\" he said. \"We believe that [they] will be weaker in negotiating good trade deals in the future than when they were in the EU,\" he added. \"It is important that the UK does not become an unfair competitor,\" Mr Riester continued. \"We want it to remain a great partner of France and not a partner who would use unfair means, with state aid, or with divergent standards to the EU.\" So, after years of preparation, both the politics and the logistics of Brexit have been rehearsed many times. Now they're being put to the test. What's changing? The culmination of the Brexit process means major changes in different areas. These include:",

He did not tell colleagues and tried to carry on with his cabinet duties despite not being able to see properly. He also writes about his struggles with \"touchy-feely\" modern politics and what he got wrong, and right, as PM. \"When I woke up in Downing Street one Monday in September (2009), I knew something was very wrong. My vision was foggy,\" writes Mr Brown in My Life, Our Times. \"That morning, I was to visit the City Academy in Hackney to speak about our education reform agenda. I kept the engagement, doing all I could to disguise the fact that I could see very little - discarding the prepared notes and speaking extemporaneously. \"Straight afterwards, I was driven to the consulting room of a prominent surgeon at the Moorfields Eye Hospital in London.\" Surgeons discovered the retina in his right eye was torn in two places. They eventually decided not to operate, writes Mr Brown, who had lost the sight in his left eye following a teenage rugby accident. \"I am grateful that the (right) retina has held to this day and I feel lucky beyond words,\" he writes. Downing Street released a statement at the time saying there had been \"no change\" in Mr Brown's eyesight and his visit to the hospital had been \"part of regular checks on his eyes and this check was also fine\". Mr Brown, who took over as prime minister from Tony Blair in June 2007, without a Labour leadership contest, also writes about his regret that he could not convince voters of the need for \"radical\" reforms in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis. Referring to his decision to bail out the banks and co-ordinate international recovery efforts, he says: \"We won the battle - to escape recession. But we lost the war - to build something better. \"I fell short in communicating my ideas. I failed to rally the nation around the necessary fiscal stimulus and my plans for radical change. \"Banking should have been transformed, our international institutions refashioned, inequality radically reversed - and if we are to be properly equipped to face the next crisis this is still the agenda we must pursue.\" Mr Brown, who lost power in the 2010 general election to a coalition government headed by Conservative leader David Cameron, also writes about his struggles with social media and personality politics. \"The modern version of 'connecting' seems to increasingly include a public display of emotion, with the latter - authentic or not - seen as evidence of a sincerity required for political success,\" he writes. \"In a far more touchy-feely era, our leaders speak of public issues in intensely personal ways and assume they can win votes simply by telling their electors that they 'feel their pain'. \"For me, being conspicuously demonstrative is uncomfortable.\" He says he managed to keep his two sons out of the media spotlight and resisted pressure during his time in politics to \"cultivate an image that made the personal constantly public - reticence was the rule\". He also uses the book - to be published next month - to take a swipe at social media, saying: \"During my time as an MP I never mastered the capacity to leave a good impression or sculpt my public image in 140 characters. \"Now no politician can succeed without mastering social media - and yet, in it, the prime minister becomes one among millions of voices competing to be heard.\" He says he \"fully understands\" the need to \"lighten up to get a message across\" and accepts that \"in the second decade of the 21st Century, a sense of personal reserve can limit the appeal and rapport of a leader\". But he adds: \"Really, to my mind, what mattered was not what I said about myself, but simply what our government could do for our country.\"",

            "input": "By Jon DonnisonBBC News, Queensland coast Stretching along the Queensland coast, the reef is an underwater wonderland home to thousands of different fish and coral species. But it is facing multiple threats. Swathes of coral have been killed by the crown-of-thorns, a starfish which has flourished partly because of fertilisers seeping into the sea from farm run-off. Extreme weather has also damaged the reef, while increased carbon in the atmosphere has made the water too acidic, leading to coral bleaching. Reef that was once blooming is now grey, crumbling and barren. \"It's never been worse,\" says David Booth, professor of marine ecology at the University of Technology in Sydney. \"There's been a slow but steady degradation of the reef. Around half the coral has been destroyed in the last few decades.\" But environmentalists say there's another major threat: coal. Queensland is Australia's biggest coal-producing state. Up and down the coast there are huge coal ports fed by kilometres-long trains that lumber in from the big mines inland. The scale of the mining operation in Queensland is striking - and growing. Great Barrier Reef In July, the government approved a project that will lead to the creation of Australia's biggest coal mine in the Galilee Basin region of central Queensland. The Carmichael Mine, owned by the Indian conglomerate Adani, will cover an area seven times the size of Sydney harbour. When the A$16bn (£9.9bn; $16bn) project is developed, the plan is to export 60 million tonnes of coal each year to India, for 60 years. The coal industry here believes India, with its massive and fast-growing population, is the new China. \"While the rest of the world demands our coal, we will supply it,\" says Michael Roche, chief executive of the Queensland Resources Council. \"If we don't, one of the other hundred countries around the world that produce coal will supply the coal.\" Australia already exports around a million tonnes of coal every single day. A good proportion of it is shipped out through the Great Barrier Reef. Looking out from the hilltop above the Hay Point Coal terminal near Mackay you can see more than a dozen huge coal ships queuing to pick up their cargo. To accommodate those ships many of the coal ports are having to be expanded. Shipping channels are being dredged to make way for bigger boats. The most controversial project is at Abbot Point, just north of the town of Bowen. Earlier this year the government approved a plan to dredge the port, dumping thousands of tonnes of sediment at sea. Environmentalists have been outraged, saying the sediment will further damage the reef. \"At dredging sites, we found more than twice as much coral disease than at our control sites,\" says Joe Pollock. He is from the ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies at James Cook University, which carried out the first study on the impact of dredging activity on the reef. \"Corals require both light and food to survive and unfortunately, dredging impacts corals on two fronts: increased turbidity (cloudiness in the water) means less light for photosynthesis, while increased levels of sediment falling onto the coral can interfere with their ability to feed.\" Following pressure, the Queensland state government has now put forward a proposal to dump the dredged sediment from the Abbot Point project on land rather than at sea, although no final decision has yet been made. The mining industry says the dangers are being overplayed, arguing far greater quantities of sediment are washed into the ocean naturally from Queensland's river system. \"Don't believe what some of the NGOs are saying,\" says Michael Roche of the Queensland Resources Council. \"The NGOs are putting out stories about the reef. They're not trying to save the reef. They're trying to stop the coal industry. It's a good emotional campaign to use in their campaign against hydrocarbons.\" At the moment, it does not seem to be a campaign those NGOs are winning. The current government is a great champion of coal. \"Let's have no demonisation of coal,\" Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott said earlier this month as he opened the Caval Ridge coalmine in central Queensland. \"Coal is good for humanity, coal is good for prosperity, coal is an essential part of our economic future, here in Australia and right around the world.\" It is words such as this that have made Mr Abbott a hate figure for environmentalists. David Hannan, one of the world's leading underwater cameramen, has been filming the reef for decades. He is also involved with a group campaigning to protect it, having witnessed the way it has changed. \"It's suicidal when you've got reef systems on the edge anyway, to be putting any more pressures on them. It's that simple.\" People like Mr Hannan accuse the government of short-term thinking. What will happen when the coal runs out? But coal has been hugely beneficial to Australia's economy. In Queensland alone, the industry invests around A$40bn a year and provides tens of thousands of jobs. If money talks, then coal will win. The coal industry is clearly not the only factor having a negative impact on the reef. But Unesco, the United Nations scientific, cultural and educational body, has already said the impact of coal export expansion could contribute to the Great Barrier Reef being classified as \"endangered\" on its list of World Heritage Sites. \"The science is clear,\" says Prof David Booth. \"But the lack of uptake of science by the government here makes scientists feel impotent.\" It's hard to imagine that a coal port could ever be beautiful. Yet looking out from Hay Point before dawn, the terminal's lights twinkle against the blackness of the sea. But as the sun rises, the picture changes. Mountains of coal sit next to the azure waters that are home to the reef. The next few decades could determine whether the two can continue to exist side by side.",

He also apologised for making writer Kate Maltby feel uncomfortable in 2015. Laura Kuenssberg said the PM \"had little choice but to ask him to go\". The BBC's political editor said the departure of a close friend left Mrs May a \"lonelier figure\". Mr Green, 61, who as first secretary of state was effectively the PM's deputy, is the third cabinet minister to resign in the space of two months - Sir Michael Fallon and Priti Patel both quit in November. In her written response, Mrs May expressed \"deep regret\" at Mr Green's departure but said his actions \"fell short\" of the conduct expected of a cabinet minister. Like Mrs May, Mr Green campaigned for Remain in last year's EU referendum and had been a leading voice in Cabinet for a \"softer\" Brexit. He had been under investigation regarding allegations of inappropriate behaviour towards journalist and Tory activist Ms Maltby. He denied suggestions that he made unwanted advances towards her in 2015. He also denied that he had either downloaded or viewed pornography on a computer removed from his Commons office in 2008 and said police had \"never suggested to me that improper material was found\". In his resignation letter, Mr Green said statements he made about what he knew about the pornography could have been \"clearer\", conceding that his lawyers had been informed by Met Police lawyers about their initial discovery in 2008 and the police had also raised the matter with him in a phone call in 2013. \"I apologise that my statements were misleading on this point,\" he said. Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt told BBC Radio 4's Today programme Mr Green had \"lied\" about \"a particular incident\" and that was why he had to go but it was a \"sad moment\". Asked if his departure left Theresa May more isolated, he said \"leadership is lonely\" but she had shown \"extraordinary resilience in very challenging circumstances\" and was someone \"who is capable of taking very difficult decisions\". An official report by the Cabinet Office found that public statements he made relating to what he knew about the claims were \"inaccurate and misleading\" and constituted a breach of the ministerial code. The report also found that although there were \"competing and contradictory accounts of what were private meetings\" between himself and Ms Maltby, the investigation found her account \"to be plausible\". Her parents, Colin and Victoria Maltby, said in a statement they were not surprised to find that the inquiry found Mr Green to have been \"untruthful as a minister, nor that they found our daughter to be a plausible witness\". They praised their 31-year-old daughter for her courage in speaking out about the \"abuse of authority\". Ms Maltby is not commenting on Mr Green's resignation until she receives more details from the Cabinet Office. May a lonelier figure now Analysis by BBC political editor Laura Kuenssberg Damian Green has never been a politician with a huge public persona, or even a hugely well-known character. But he was an extremely important ally of Theresa May. Not just a political friend but a genuine one, close to her for decades. The government, so the joke in Westminster goes, has become \"weak and stable\", with number 10 taking back some control of the agenda in recent weeks. So it is not likely that Mr Green's exit will suddenly unleash another bout of turmoil. But the prime minister clearly took this decision very seriously. She is a politician who guards her views, her own persona very closely. To lose one of the few who understood her, who she trusts, leaves her a lonelier figure. Read Laura's full blog In her reply, the PM said while the report had found his conduct to have been \"professional and proper\" in general, it was right that he had apologised for making Ms Maltby \"feel uncomfortable\". Addressing breaches of the ministerial code, she added: \"While I can understand the considerable distress caused to you by some of the allegations made in the past few weeks, I know that you share my commitment to maintaining the high standards that the public demands of ministers of the crown. \"It is therefore with deep regret that I asked you to resign from the government and have accepted your resignation.\" Mr Green's political future has been in question since Ms Maltby claimed in an article in the Times that the minister \"fleetingly\" touched her knee in a pub in 2015 and in 2016 sent her a \"suggestive\" text message which left her feeling \"awkward, embarrassed and professionally compromised\". Mr Green, an acquaintance of the journalist's parents, said the claims were \"hurtful\" and \"completely false\". But they were referred for investigation by top civil servant Sue Gray - who is examining other claims that emerged during a swirl of allegations about harassment and other misconduct at Westminster. The inquiry was subsequently expanded to consider claims that legal pornography was found on a computer removed from Mr Green's office in the House of Commons in 2008. It was one of a number of possessions seized by the police during a controversial inquiry into the leaking of official documents by a civil servant to Mr Green, at the time a shadow Home Office minister under David Cameron. Mrs May, who has known Mr Green since they were contemporaries at Oxford, brought him into the cabinet after she became PM in 2016 and promoted him to first secretary of state in July. Since then, he has played a substantial role behind the scenes chairing key cabinet committees and has also deputised for Mrs May at Prime Minister's Questions. It is not clear who will replace him in those roles but unconfirmed reports have suggested there will be no announcement until the New Year, with Parliament due to go on recess on Thursday.",

The commission was launched last year to consider whether Welsh, Scottish and Northern Irish MPs should be denied a vote on English-only matters. The government said it would give the report \"serious consideration\". But the English Democrats, who campaign for a separate parliament for England, called the proposals a \"fudge\" which failed to address \"the real issue\" of creating equal democratic rights across the UK. There has been controversy over the so-called West Lothian Question - the ability of Welsh, Scottish and Northern Irish MPs to vote on England-only matters - for several decades, but this intensified after devolution. In 2004, support from Scottish and Welsh MPs allowed the government to push through the introduction of university top-up fees in England. 'Double lock' The commission concluded that the current situation was \"unsustainable\" and changes were needed. It proposed the principle that Commons decisions with a \"separate and distinct effect\" for England should \"normally be taken only with the consent of a majority of MPs sitting for constituencies in England\". The same would apply for decisions that affected only England and Wales. The report said the principle should be enshrined in a resolution of the House, and suggested a range of procedural changes to entrench the approach. Specific parliamentary time could be allocated to debating plans for England, and MPs would be given an opportunity to vote on motions endorsing or rejecting them. Committees for scrutinising bills could also be weighted to represent the party balance in England, the report suggested. However, the commission dismissed as \"flawed and impractical\" a more drastic suggestion, which would require England-only legislation to get a majority of English MPs, as well as an overall majority. Instead of such a \"double lock\", the commission floated the idea of a \"double count\", where the proportion of English MPs supporting a Bill would be published alongside the overall result. \"If a government was seen to have failed to attract the support of a majority of MPs from England [or England and Wales] for business affecting those interests, it would be likely to sustain severe political damage,\" it says. 'Important issue' Commission chairman Sir William McKay said Westminster law-making had inevitably come to focus on England, or England and Wales. \"But the processes for making law at Westminster have not significantly changed,\" he said. \"Surveys have shown that people in England are unhappy about the existing arrangements and support change. \"There is a feeling that England is at a disadvantage, and that it's not right that MPs representing the devolved nations should be able to vote on matters affecting England. \"The status quo clearly cannot be sustained.\" A Cabinet Office spokesman said the government was \"very grateful to Sir William McKay and his colleagues for their work\". \"This is a very important issue, which is why the government asked this expert commission to look into it. \"We will give the report very serious consideration before we respond substantively,\" he said. English Democrats chairman Robin Tilbrook said: \"The commission was set up to come up with a fudge and that is what it has done. It fails to address the real issue. \"The issue isn't how the House of Commons works. It is that Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland have their own parliaments and governments and England does not. We need a democratic government and parliament for England.\"",

            "input": "Tom EdwardsTransport correspondent, London@BBCTomEdwardson Twitter As I said at the time, there is no doubt the transport operators coped well. However, and I appreciate I am a lone voice here, there were certainly challenges during and before the Games. Don't forget the run up to the Games was diabolical. The Hammersmith flyover had weight restrictions, the M4 had to be shut when cracks were discovered in a viaduct, no one knew who was policing the M4 Games Lanes and the Central line flooded. During the Games we had huge queues on the A4 and A40 as confused motorists didn't use the Games Lanes when they were allowed to. We had queues on the A10 from Essex lasting several hours while Transport for London (TfL) re-sequenced the traffic lights. Learning curve Cabbies, too, were extremely critical and said TfL had scared tourists away, prompting TfL to change its warnings from \"change your travel habits\" to \"change your travel habits but enjoy what London has to offer\". Of course perhaps all of these are minor in the wider picture and the Games were undoubtedly a success overall. So what have the transport authorities learnt? The whole model relied on commuters staying away or changing their travel times. TfL was very successful in doing that (some argue too successful), but is there a legacy? TfL's bill to London 2012 of £410m included staff bonuses. But in real terms £228m was invested in new Olympic infrastructure like the Docklands Light Railway (DLR) to Stratford and the new DLR stations like Stratford High Street. Home working We now have accessibility ramps at a lot more stations due to the Paralympics. The latest TfL figures also show there has been a slight change in commuter habits. Before the Games 13% of commuters worked from home at least one day a week, during the Games that increased to 26%. Now 20% of commuters are working from home at least once a week. Whether that was solely down to the Olympics it is very difficult to say. What has also changed is how TfL now communicates with travellers. It calls it TDM - Travel Demand Management. So, if London Bridge is being closed it will use social media, the web and adverts to try to get commuters to use other routes. It will be interesting to see if travellers become less receptive and get message fatigue. Also, when it comes to big events TfL and the train operators are far more co-ordinated than they used to be. 'Behavioural change' There is an event management desk in Palestra (a building in Southwark) to co-ordinate transport. The next time it will be used will be for Ride London 100 on 3 and 4 August when all the bridges will be shut in Central London. Michelle Dix from TfL said: \"That's the biggest legacy in terms of behavioural change. \"We proved that through messaging and communications and telling people what's going on, telling them about alternatives so they can make informed choices, we proved that you can manage these big events. \"The Olympics was huge - lots and lots of Wembleys all on the same day for two weeks - a huge process of managing people and what we've learnt is you can do that for other sustained events such as London Bridge. \"London Bridge is going to be completely refigured over the next eight years. There's going to be disruption at the station and what we're doing is applying those lessons of communication.\" But one of the real legacies is for transport organisations. They have successfully put on the biggest event in the world. Yes of course there will be problems in the future - but Londoners now expect high standards from their transport system all the year round. If transport operators can do it for the Games - why not?",

            "input": "By Kevin PeacheyPersonal finance reporter One survey suggests that 84% of British parents give notes and coins to their children, typically an allowance - including some discretionary spending - of £7 a week. Yet, by 2028, banks predict that for every 10 occasions when adults buy something, they will only use notes and coins once. For the rest, we will mostly use cards or digital payments. So what will that mean for the nation's children? Will today's youngsters be learning about money using currency that is close to obsolete? Will parents have to find a new way of paying pocket money, or decide not to bother paying at all? Experts say that paying a small amount, however infrequently, can help youngsters learn about money and budgeting. It seems that the children themselves agree, especially if pocket money depends on completing chores. Nine-year-old Yusuf says: \"It is making you feel like when you are older and get a job - when you do stuff and get paid for it. \"But obviously you are going to get more when you are older, rather than just 50p a day.\" Pocket money surveys rarely agree on the going rate for children's allowances. The Halifax, part of Lloyds Banking Group, has been running such a survey since 1987, which is one of the most well-established. Its latest findings suggested a wide range of average amounts in different parts of Britain. Others suggest the Halifax estimate of the typical weekly payment is rather high, but there is general agreement that cash is currently the preferred choice. Research has suggested that money habits are set by the age of seven. At a meeting of head teachers and authorities on Wednesday, some will call for better financial education in primary schools. Whatever children are taught at school, a few pennies at home - starting in cash - can go a long way, according to Sarah Porretta, of the government-backed but independent Money and Pensions Service. Her advice for parents includes: For those parents who no longer carry cash - just using payment cards and smartphones - the mother-of-two says: \"The trick is to go and get some coins, just so your children have the opportunity to interact with them. \"Then talk about what you are doing with money. If you are paying with a card or with a phone talk to children about that and link it back to those coins they have handled.\" A growing band of pocket money smartphone apps suggest a different answer. \"The way we interact with money has changed. Pocket money is changing. We pay for things with the touch of a button,\" says Will Carmichael, father-of-two and chief executive of one of those apps - RoosterMoney. \"Traditionally pocket money sits in a jar at home, you add your coins, you can see it build up, and then you take that down to the sweet shop. That is no longer the case. You may use it for [video game] Fortnite online. You might use it to pay for a pair of trainers from an online shop. \"We are bringing pocket money online and making it more tangible again.\" The app starts for four year-olds with an online reward chart, it moves on to a pocket money tracker which allows youngsters to set savings goals. Top of that list, according to the company's data, is Lego, followed by phones, and holiday money. Eventually, it allows them to move on to spending with a pre-paid card. Data shows most pocket money is still spent on sweets, although books are second. The app also allows them to donate some of the money they have saved to charity. However, the more advanced features cost a fee - an extra expense not suffered by parents who pay their children in cash. Mr Carmichael argues that the charge costs parents far less than swimming or music lessons, but still teaches youngsters a practical life skill. Bank basics The next step for most youngsters is opening a bank account. Savings accounts can be opened from the age of seven, and current accounts from the age of 11. \"These are a great way of introducing your children to the world of banking, allowing them to use 'grown up' features like ATMs to get cash, or increasingly to make contactless payments, and even mobile payments if they have a smartphone,\" says Brian Brown, head of insight at data analysts Defaqto. \"They also make it easier for family members to gift them money. \"Some of the accounts also pay interest, although not at high rates, allowing young people to get into the savings habit from an early age. \"By setting up standing orders you can pay children their pocket money regularly, with no moaning over missed or late payments - or even worse, each parent giving them their pocket money and paying them twice.\"",

            "input": "Mr Netanyahu said he was \"perfectly open\" to a meeting that might be \"potentially useful\". He also defended a massive security deployment in Jerusalem following a wave of knife attacks by Palestinians. Near-daily attacks have left seven Israelis dead and dozens wounded over the past fortnight. Several of the attackers were among at least 30 Palestinians who have been killed in recent violence. Tensions between Israelis and Palestinians have been fuelled by clashes in Jerusalem, in the West Bank, and across the Gaza border, as well as the wave of stabbings. \"Right now as we can speak, we can meet - I have no problem with that - and we shall stop immediately this wave of incitement and attacks against Israel,\" Mr Netanyahu told a news conference on Thursday. However, he continued, \"I am willing to meet him [President Abbas] but he isn't willing to meet me\". The Israeli leader said he was also willing to meet US Secretary of State John Kerry and Jordan's King Abdullah for talks to defuse the tension. The Palestinians have previously said they would not return to talks unless Israel halted settlement building in the West Bank and East Jerusalem. Israel has built more than 100 settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem since it occupied the territories in the 1967 Middle East war. The settlements are considered illegal under international law, though Israel disputes this. Mr Netanyahu also berated Mr Abbas for what he called inciting violence and telling lies about Israel seeking to change the status quo at a holy compound in East Jerusalem, known to Jews as Temple Mount and Muslims as Haram al-Sharif. Mahmoud Abbas on Wednesday accused Israel of using excessive force against Palestinians. He said Israel was carrying out \"executions of our children in cold blood\", highlighting the case of a 13-year-old Palestinian boy, Ahmed Manasra, who was hit by a car after he and a 15-year-old stabbed two Israelis, one of them a 13-year-old boy, on Monday. Mr Netanyahu rejected this as a \"new big lie\" in his news conference on Thursday, hours after his government released video and photos showing the boy alive in an Israeli hospital. Senior Palestinian official Saeb Erekat later said that Mr Abbas had received inaccurate information on the boy's condition, AFP news agency reports. Israeli police on Wednesday began setting up checkpoints in Arab-majority parts of East Jerusalem, including one neighbourhood that was home to three of the Palestinians who carried out attacks on Israelis this week. Israel's security cabinet had earlier authorised police to seal off or impose a curfew on parts of the city in a bid to stop \"those who try murder and...all those who assist them\". It also announced that the homes of Palestinian attackers would be demolished within days and that their families' right to live in Jerusalem would be taken away. The Palestinian leader said on Wednesday that Israel's security actions threatened \"to spark a religious conflict that would burn everything\". Human Rights Watch has also condemned the new measures, saying they infringed on freedom of movement of all Palestinians. But Mr Netanyahu defended Israel's actions, saying it was using legitimate force. Any country would do the same to deal with \"people wielding knives, meat cleavers, axes, trying to kill people on their streets,\" he said. Fear and loathing fuel Jerusalem knife attacks Jerusalem attacks prompt fear and defiance #intifada - Is social media to blame? Can Israel and the Palestinians contain spiralling violence? Why is Jerusalem so holy? Despite the heightened security measures, there were two more stabbing incidents on Wednesday, and clashes between Palestinians and Israeli police in the West Bank city of Bethlehem and along the Israeli border with Gaza continued into Thursday. Some 300 soldiers are due to be in place by Sunday to reinforce police forces in the city. US Secretary of State is due to travel to the region soon, but details of his trip are yet to be revealed. What is happening between Israelis and Palestinians? There has been a spate of stabbings of Israelis - several of them fatal - by Palestinians since early October, and one apparent revenge stabbing by an Israeli. The attackers have struck in Jerusalem and central and northern Israel, and in the occupied West Bank. Israel has tightened security and its security forces have clashed with rioting Palestinians, leading to deaths on the Palestinian side. The violence has also spread to the border with Gaza. What's behind the latest unrest? After a period of relative quiet, violence between the two communities has spiralled since clashes erupted at a flashpoint Jerusalem holy site in mid-September. It was fuelled by rumours among Palestinians that Israel was attempting to alter a long-standing religious arrangement governing the site. Israel repeatedly dismissed the rumours as incitement. Soon afterwards, two Israelis were shot dead by Palestinians in the West Bank and the stabbing attacks began. Both Israel and the Palestinian authorities have accused one another of doing nothing to protect each other's communities. Is this a new Palestinian intifada, or uprising? There have been two organised uprisings by Palestinians against Israeli occupation, in the 1980s and early 2000s. With peace talks moribund, some observers have questioned whether we are now seeing a third. The stabbing attacks seem to be opportunistic and although they have been praised by militant groups, Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas has said Palestinians are not interested in a further escalation. What is driving the latest violence?",

However, the area's infection rates vary largely, with Pendle registering 306.1 cases per 100,000 people, while Lancaster recorded 115 per 100,000. Public health director Dominic Harrison said there would be a sharper focus on testing in areas with high cases. The government previously said mass rapid testing schemes, which will ask all residents with or without coronavirus symptoms to take a test, would be rolled out to 67 more areas in England. The scheme was piloted in Liverpool, which is now set to drop down into tier two restrictions after Health Secretary Matt Hancock praised the city's \"remarkable\" fall in infection rates following its introduction. 'Some Army support' Areas to the east of the county, including Pendle, Blackburn and Rossendale, reported infection rates of more than 280 per 100,000 in the latest government figures for 25 November, far above western areas, such as Lancaster, Wyre and West Lancashire, where rates fell below 130. Council leaders had asked for the county to be split into two tiers, reflecting these different rates, but the idea was rejected. Mr Harrison said the government would formally offer Lancashire \"a mass testing option\" on Wednesday, which he expected to be a reduced version of Liverpool's model. He said he expected \"some Army support\" for any testing regime, adding the county would \"do something similar [to] but not the same as Liverpool\" and \"target some of our mass testing\" on groups \"where we know the infection rates are highest\" such as a ward within a local authority \"or a group like the homeless\". He said any testing would \"go ahead across the whole of Lancashire, but it will be targeted on the highest risk areas\". Why not follow BBC North West on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram?

The construction sector grew by 3.5% but output in services was flat while production contracted by 0.8%, according to national statistics. The UK economy as a whole expanded by 0.7% in the second quarter. On an annual basis, Scottish GDP grew by 1.9%. The Scottish economy has grown for 12 consecutive quarters and output is now 3% above its pre-recession peak. Analysis by Douglas Fraser, Scotland business and economy editor Something is mis-firing in the Scottish economy. The cause is partly business confidence and poor productivity. Problems with the oil and gas sector are clearly not helping. And partly it's the difficulties facing exporters into the eurozone. The latest figures on Gross Domestic Product look disappointing, at 0.1% growth between the first and second quarter of the year. If it weren't for construction activity, the Scottish economy would have contracted between April and June. Another quarter like that, and it would be a recession. More from Douglas Fraser's blog Deputy First Minister John Swinney said: \"It is positive to see further growth in the construction sector as a result of continuing strong investment and support from public spending in Scotland. \"Likewise the healthy expansion in Q2 (quarter two) of the electricity and gas supply sector is a positive story for Scotland's economy. \"Nonetheless, the figures point to challenges in some sectors as a result of several factors, including subdued demand in the oil and gas sector and a normalising of some very strong trends in recent periods. \"The annual growth rate moderated a little compared to the very strong growth seen in recent periods but remains healthy by historical standards.\" Scottish Conservative enterprise spokesman Murdo Fraser said: \"It is good to see the Scottish economy still growing, but disappointing to see a dip in GDP compared to the growth the wider UK has enjoyed. \"On the back of recent surveys showing low business confidence in Scotland, this is more evidence that our economy is not doing as well as it should.\" Scottish Liberal Democrat leader Willie Rennie said that while the economy continued to grow across the UK, it seemed to have \"almost flatlined\" in Scotland under the SNP. He added: \"Instead of picking fights with Westminster, the first minister must focus on securing Scottish growth in the economy, jobs and business.\" 'Very concerning' Commenting on the figures, Scottish Chambers of Commerce chief executive Liz Cameron said: \"An apparent contraction in the production sector has reduced Scotland's growth rate to its lowest level for three years. \"This is very concerning, particularly when measured against the healthy UK growth rate of 0.7% over the same period. \"This should act as a wake-up call to prove that we simply cannot take the growth of our businesses and our economy for granted and that government policy, both at a UK and Scottish level, must be absolutely focused on creating an environment in which businesses can thrive.\" Andy Willox, Scottish policy convener for the Federation of Small Businesses, said: \"Recent evidence from our members revealed a significant dip in small business confidence. \"Today's growth figures show that there's obviously still work to do to get Scotland's economy firing on all cylinders at a national and local level.\"",

She was first trolled after posting body positive photos and messages on social media. And she reckons the pandemic made things worse. A photo Phoebe posted to mark International Women's Day in March last year sparked a torrent of abuse and attracted \"hundreds of comments\" about how she looked. 'It's every single day' \"This kept happening across the whole of 2020. It got to the point where from July, I have not had a week's break from any online abuse. \"In these last couple of months, it's been every single day, there will be something or some incident or some comment.\" Phoebe has been reporting abusive posts and blocking accounts that were sharing them. Half of women and non-binary people polled by online abuse charity Glitch and the End Violence Against Women Coalition say they've experienced online abuse since the pandemic began. And a poll of 2,000 people for the National Children's Bureau, which was published in November 2020, suggests that more people were experiencing and reporting online abuse as bullying in schools decreased - because most people were learning from home. Phoebe says comments and DMs led to her making a suicide attempt in December. \"It got to the point where the comments made me feel like I couldn't be here anymore, really. I ended up in hospital.\" When she later posted about her suicide attempt online she received more abuse. \"It was horrific. I just logged off for the rest of Christmas and New Year to just enjoy it and not think about what's being said online,\" she says. \"I'm not in that place now, but I can't say I'm not going to be in that place again from trolling because, I didn't think that would ever happen to me, I never thought it would reach that point.\" 'Hyper-disgust' during pandemic Imran Ahmed is the CEO of the Centre for Countering Digital Hate. He says there has been an \"industrial level of trolling\" during the coronavirus pandemic, and part of this has included online bullying. \"Right now we are primed to think of things that aren't like us as being dangerous,\" he tells Newsbeat. \"Think about literally what Covid is - someone you love could kill you, just by coming near you. \"So we're primed to think, I don't want to see people, I don't want to get too close. We are in a hyper-disgust phase.\" He says people who troll others online don't get a thrill from the abuse they send, but from seeing the reaction from their victim. \"If you give them what they want and show anger and pain that incentivises them to gain that pleasure again. \"By taking away the possibility of gaining that pleasure, by blocking them, they'll stop.\" He also says defending someone against trolls can sometimes do more harm than good because you \"rebroadcast, compound and worsen the abuse.\" He says blocking and reporting abusive posts and accounts is still our best option, but also to remember that extreme cases may be against the law. 'I shouldn't have to step away' When Phoebe reported the death threats to her local police, they recommended she log off social media. She did that in the short term for her mental health, but it isn't something she wants to do permanently. \"This is becoming part of my life more especially because we're all virtual now,\" Phoebe says. \"I don't want to have to censor myself, I think that's the other thing. I tried to be a positive person for others and for my teenage self. I'm trying to be the woman that my teenage self never had. \"It gets tough but I don't feel like I should have to step away because some people don't want me to be existing in that space.\" Avon and Somerset police, who Phoebe reported her situation to, says on its website that its officers will deal with online abuse only in the most extreme cases. These include a threat to someone's life, targeting specific individuals and persistent harassment and ongoing abuse. Phoebe's decided not to pursue matters with the police. But she does want social media companies to make it harder to set up fake account on their platforms - which is where a lot of the abuse she experienced came from. She's set up an organisation called The Speak Up Space, where victims of sexual violence and harassment can share their stories and look for help and advice. And despite the abuse she receives, still feels like the positives of being social media outweigh the negatives. \"It was nice when I had a break, I just stuck to WhatsApp to stay in touch with friends and it felt like a weight lifted. But I also love the community I'm in and I love all these friends I've made and all these people who reach out to me and say these lovely things,\" she says. \"I don't want to be pushed out or something. And if I choose to leave, that's going to be my decision. \"We're all going through this at the moment, and of course, everyone's reaction is going to be different to the pandemic, but being abusive to people online is not a viable response.\" Follow Newsbeat on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.

Dig Ventures is carrying out the work with approval from Historic England. The archaeology company has found what it believes to be the foundations of an infirmary in a farmer's field neighbouring the site. The abbey was founded by the Roman Catholic Premonstratensian order at nearby Minsmere in 1182 before moving to Leiston in 1363. It was suppressed in 1536 during Henry VIII's dissolution of the monasteries. Community care It is the third year Dig Ventures has held a crowd-funded project at the abbey and previous years have unearthed artefacts including an earspoon, gambling chip and curse tablet. Maiya Pina-Dacier, community manager for Dig Ventures, said: \"We were focussing on looking for foundations of lost buildings and we found the infirmary by sending a drone in the air. \"In the neighbouring field, there was differing crop growth creating a reversed L-shape where the foundations were and then we dug down to find them. \"It gives us evidence of life at the abbey and shows they were caring for people from the local community, although often they would expect parcels of land in return, but we haven't found evidence that was the case here.\" The team said that, based on evidence from similar sites, infirmaries were usually based in positions away from the main abbey, so they were confident it was the hospital. They had not found any medical artefacts at the dig, so were unable to confirm what sort of treatments were available.

            "input": "I was a tanning addict. Being brown was being me. If I wasn't tanned, then I didn't look like \"me\". Silly I know, but that's just the way I felt. Having a tan made me feel better about myself. I used to say it was like a \"tonic\" - it made me feel more confident and more healthy. In reality, my overwhelming desire to be tanned couldn't have been more unhealthy. I don't know where that desire came from - I was always pale throughout my school years. I don't have an addictive personality. I just think sunbeds have the \"power\" to make you feel good. And I know serotonin - the \"happy hormone\" - can be released when your body is exposed to sunlight. From about the age of about 16 I started using sunbeds. First it was once a week, then twice, then I got to a point of using them every day. I admit I became addicted. My parents tried to tell me that I was damaging my skin, but I never thought about the consequences. I used them for about 10 years, going to a variety of salons and also hiring them at home. It was my choice and I'm not blaming anyone for what happened to me. But I was never given an \"informed\" choice. Not once in all the 10 years did any salon staff give me any advice about my skin, or about the safe level of UV exposure, and there were no information signs. But most of my friends could see the dangers of what I was doing and many of them tried to warn me. In fact, it was a standing joke with all my friends in the office every time I went on holiday. \"What colour are you aiming for this time?\" My reply was always \"mahogany\". It felt like a cloud evaporating - I could face whatever was thrown at me, it lifted my spirits and it made me feel good about myself. Along the way, I obviously developed a deeper and deeper tan - so I became used to seeing myself brown, and I didn't like looking pale anymore. Between using sunbeds and also going abroad six weeks a year, I was putting myself in danger. I actually stopped using sunbeds about 12 years ago. I could see the wrinkles increasing. Not once though did it ever enter my head that I could be affected by skin cancer, let alone the deadliest type, malignant melanoma. It's been the toughest time of my life, but I'm so thankful I survived it and am still here to try to warn others. My life changed forever when, on 5 Feb 2014, I got the news of my cancer. My fiance and I were five days into our two-week holiday in Fuerteventura and were just about to settle on the balcony with a refreshing cold drink after a lovely hot day in the sun. I received a text message asking me to call the dermatologist who'd done a biopsy a month earlier on a little red spot on the back of my leg. More than six months before, in June 2013, I had found the little red raised spot and thought it was an insect bite. It didn't hurt or bleed, it was just something new that popped up. My doctor and the dermatologist both thought it was an insect bite that had got infected. I wasn't worried in the slightest. But I remember standing in the holiday apartment and hearing the dermatologist's words: \"I'm so sorry to tell you it's melanoma.\" I didn't really know what that meant, but I felt sick to the pit of my stomach. I was shaken, but I'm an extremely positive person and I had to believe I was going to be OK. I was in the hands of some of the world's leading melanoma consultants - and I knew I was getting the best care possible from my consultant, Mr Oudit and his team at The Christie hospital in Manchester. At the end of February last year I had a wider excision in the back of my leg and I chose to have a \"sentinel lymph node biopsy\". The melanoma had spread. I had to have all the lymph nodes cut out of my right groin and I also opted to have some removed from my pelvis laparoscopically. On 4 June, a week after major surgery, I was told that no more melanoma was found. I hugged the consultant and thought that's it - I can get on with my life. I should have been jumping for joy but this is when I came crashing down and started to worry about what else was going on inside me. Anyone who's had a cancer diagnosis will know that it doesn't just attack a certain part of your body, it affects every part of your life and your loved ones. I lost all my confidence. I didn't want to spend a minute on my own. At times I couldn't walk properly, I couldn't get in the bath, I couldn't drive and for weeks I had a drain attached to my leg and I had to inject myself every day to prevent any blood clots. A short history of tanning Worse still were thoughts about the future - how would my fiance and my mum cope without me? Would I be here in six months to see my birthday? Would I see Christmas? All these terrible thoughts were dragging me down. I didn't buy any new clothes for months. On top of the emotional effects, I've been left with lymphedema in my leg. It's a build-up of fluid because of the removal of lymph nodes from my groin. I can live with a big leg though! I have to massage my leg twice a day, wear compression garments and avoid getting any insect bites and scratches from animals. I can't shave my leg. I would never want anyone to go through all the pain, worry and trauma that my family and I have endured - just because of trying to get a tan. I definitely think people today are more aware about the dangers of tanning, but I think the majority still think \"it won't happen to me.\" There are still around 3,000 tanning salons across the UK, and only 20% of them are regulated by the Sunbed Association (TSA) who do suggest limits on exposure. But who regulates the remaining 80%? The tan's not worth it, especially if like me, you have fair skin, and you're prone to burning. While making the documentary for the BBC about my experiences, I was able to convince a young woman called Jess to give up using sunbeds. Jess was much like me, being brown made her feel better about herself and she never thought about the consequences. At just 19, Jess had already been using sunbeds for four years, up to three times a week, and she used them free because she worked in a sunbed shop. After finding the little red spot on the back of my leg, it was three months before I went to see my GP. I dread to think what might have happened if I'd left it any longer. I would urge people that if a mole changes in shape or colour, gets bigger or like mine, something new pops up, then please go to the doctors. Please don't bury your head in the sand. The sooner you catch it the better chance there is of a successful outcome. Thoughts of having melanoma are with me every day - but I'm determined not to let them hold me back. I've also had the confidence to go abroad again. It was a big test for me but after overcoming my initial fear, I was able to relax. I now put on factor 50 sun cream half an hour before I go out, and I cover up from head to toe. Frankly, who cares what I look like. I totally avoid the midday sun and I now sit in the shade. I even take my own spray tan on holiday with me. I can still be \"mahogany\", but now I fake it. It used to be that I couldn't \"feel like me\" without a tan. I still feel a bit like that today. I sometimes struggle in accepting the way I look. I'm completely pale. But I use a spray tan on my face to give me that \"healthy glow\". There is no way I will ever sit out in the sun again. I just have to accept who I am and how I look.

The postcard-sized picture will be part of a new exhibition titled Elizabeth I and Her People from October. Curator Dr Tarnya Cooper said it was \"extraordinarily unusual\" that such an important work had remained unseen. \"It does show you what is to be found in people's attics unknown and unrecorded,\" she told the BBC. \"We know very little about it - it was bought at a house clearance sale in south-east England last year and then it came to auction at Christie's and we bought it. \"It's unlikely that the original owner knew what they had. We are clear we are looking at a very high quality image by a 16th Century artist.\" The painting, which dates from around 1590 and is attributed to the painter Isaac Oliver, shows the queen in a classical scene based on the Greek myth The Judgement of Paris. Elizabeth I appears in the guise of Paris, holding an apple, alongside the goddesses of marriage, war and love. \"Elizabeth's rounded face and small features are usual, but it is meant to be a flattering portrait, showing the Queen as perpetually youthful,\" Dr Cooper said. \"It is difficult to speculate about who this cabinet miniature might have been produced for. The provenance provides us with no further clues. \"But the small scale and remarkably high quality of this work indicate that it would have been painted for a patron close to the court.\" The miniature - currently undergoing conservation work - is believed to be in its original frame. The exhibition aims to reflect the rise of new social classes in Elizabethan society and will feature other portraits and objects from the age.

            "input": "By Lucy HookerBusiness reporter, BBC News A sharp rise in Amazon shares meant Mr Bezos's wealth eclipsed that of the Microsoft co-founder for a time according to Forbes. But as Amazon shares fell back, Mr Gates regained the top spot. Mr Bezos, 53, owns about 17% of the shares in Amazon, but also has interests in several other businesses. Recently soaring technology stocks have fuelled huge growth in the worth of entrepreneurs such as Mr Bezos and Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, 33, who is number five on Forbes's list. But the last person to steal the lead was Spanish fashion boss Amancio Ortega, founder of Zara's owner Inditex. He was the world's richest man for two days last September. Amazon's current share price puts Mr Bezos only marginally behind Mr Gates. Here are five things you may not know about Mr Bezos: 1. His spending is rocketing Earlier this year Mr Bezos paid $23m for an old textile museum in Washington DC. Once it's converted to a family home, the Bezos family will be near neighbours in the exclusive neighbourhood with the Obamas, as well as Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner. At least that's what the Washington Post reported, a reliable source presumably since Mr Bezos bought the paper in 2013 with $250m of his own money. The Bezos family also has homes in Seattle and Beverly Hills, but expenditure on property pales into insignificance compared to Mr Bezos's foremost passion: rocket science. Mr Bezos says he is selling about $1bn of Amazon stock every year to fund Blue Origin, the project he has founded to develop commercial space travel. 2. He is generous with bananas It was Mr Bezos's idea to start giving away bananas to passers-by in Amazon's home town of Seattle - a generous gesture, especially since about 4,500 people reportedly take up the offer every day. But when it comes to philanthropy that is still peanuts compared to his peers. While he and his family have given millions to good causes, Mr Bezos has been criticised for not doing enough. He doesn't splash out for non-profits on the scale that Bill Gates, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and others do, and is yet to join the 169 of his wealthy peers who have pledged to give away half their personal fortune. But last month Mr Bezos appeared to be toying with new ideas in the philanthropic sphere. He tweeted a request for suggestions as to how he could give money away that would have an impact \"here and now\" - a kind of next-day-delivery philanthropy. It remains to be seen which proposals - ranging from libraries to tech talent in Africa - have caught his imagination. 3. His brother is the real hero Good causes are already very much the domain of Jeff's brother Mark Bezos. He switched from a career in advertising to work for the New York based anti-poverty organisation Robin Hood. In a 2011 TED talk Mark Bezos relates how, attending his first fire as a volunteer, he was keen to show what he was made of. But someone else was asked to brave the smouldering building to rescue the owner's puppy. Mark was given the less glamorous task of finding her a pair of shoes. But she was still extremely grateful. He draws this lesson: if you have something to give, however small, do it now. Any ideas for Jeff? 4. Jeff's a true Trekkie One advantage of being super-rich is that people indulge your fantasies. As a life-long Star Trek fan, Mr Bezos was able to secure a minor role in the latest movie. But you may find it hard to spot him on film, since the Vine he posted shows him pretty effectively disguised in a wrinkly grey mask. He has never really disguised his inner geek however. As a child he spent a lot of time with his grandparents on their Texas ranch (learning to vaccinate cattle amongst other vital skills) and his interest in number-crunching was already apparent. \"At that age I'd take any excuse to make estimates and do minor arithmetic. I'd calculate our gas mileage, I'd figure out useless statistics on things like grocery spending,\" he told Princeton's class of 2010. For example he whiled away some time calculating that smoking would be likely to take nine years off his grandmother's life. \"I expected to be awarded for my cleverness and my arithmetic skills,\" he said. But his grandmother burst into tears. Grandfather talked him through how sometimes \"it's harder to be kind than clever\". 5. He can do blue sky thinking As well as the fun stuff he has a serious futuristic vision. Early on he was already imagining space hotels, amusement parks, and cities orbiting the Earth. And Mr Bezos's dreams are getting bigger. \"I want millions of people living and working in space. I want us to be a space-faring civilisation,\" he told Geekwire last year. He predicts that in the next few hundred years we will put all our heavy industry off this planet, mine resources and generate energy in space, leaving earth a much more pleasant place to live on. Mr Bezos does plan to go into space himself too, of course - once Blue Origin is ready to take him. But as Blue Origin's slogan says: Gradatim Ferociter, (apparently Latin for \"Step by Step, Ferociously\") maybe he's not rushing things. Highs - and lows 1994 Quits Wall Street job to start Amazon 1999 Named Time's Person of the Year 2000 Launches Blue Origin spaceflight firm 2013 Buys the Washington Post 2015 New York Times publishes report painting a critical picture of working conditions at Amazon, which Mr Bezos says he \"doesn't recognise\" 2015 Amazon appears to have come full circle when it opens its first physical bookstore in Seattle 2016 Drawn into a public spat with Trump over the Washington Post and taxes 2017 Manchester By The Sea, a feature produced by Amazon Studios, wins two Oscars including best actor for Casey Affleck, while the studio also picks up the Best Foreign Language gong for The Salesman.",

The cash, along with debt support from Social Investment Scotland, has allowed Social Bite to open a fourth Scottish store in Bothwell Street, Glasgow. The others are in the city's St Vincent Street and at two places in Edinburgh. More shops are planned for Aberdeen and Dundee. Social Bite, a social enterprise which aims to compete with Pret a Manger, Greggs and Subway, has committed to employing at least one in four of its staff from homeless backgrounds. The firm currently employs more than 30 people, 12 of whom have struggled with homelessness. Social Bite was founded two years ago by couple Josh Littlejohn, 28, and Alice Thompson, 24. They were inspired by a visit to Bangladesh, where they met Nobel Peace Prize winner and microcredit pioneer Prof Muhammad Yunus. Mr Littlejohn said: \"We hope to demonstrate a different model of business that is driven by the social objective rather than the objective of personal profit. \"Sir Tom has pioneered this new investment model, by investing for no personal financial return, but rather to create a sustainable social benefit. \"With the infrastructure of four shops and a central kitchen we should be in a position to sustainably donate around £2,000 to charity every month.\" The new Glasgow branch will see newest recruit Brian land a job serving lunch and coffee in Glasgow. Brian, who has had a history of alcohol addiction, has been homeless on four separate occasions and served several spells in prison.

With both inter-party talks and the judicial inquiry into the Renewable Heat Incentive scandal taking place in Parliament Buildings, the corridors are well occupied by people evincing a sense of purpose. Staff in the basement canteen (the only Stormont institution which has continued to function smoothly throughout the shutdown) are busying themselves for the arrival of hungry negotiators. Some unionists don't like the fact that a number of talks sessions are expected to take place inside Parliament Buildings. That's because they see the assembly HQ as symbolic of Strand 1 of the Good Friday Agreement - the section restricted to the internal affairs of Northern Ireland. TUV leader Jim Allister is annoyed that five Irish officials have been given \"unfettered access\" to the building. He claims the UUP and DUP are accepting \"the involvement of a foreign government on our internal affairs without a whimper\". The Stormont press corps, by contrast, is happy about any negotiations taking place at Parliament Buildings. This is for the entirely non-political reason that the place is warm, dry and easy to broadcast from. By contrast, talks elsewhere on the Stormont estate tend to mean reporters huddling around the statue of Lord Carson. It provides an impressive backdrop, but often at the cost of challenging meteorological conditions - especially in January. No compromise? Whether the press is cosy inside or freezing outside, the issues the negotiators are struggling with remain wearily familiar. Despite protestations from the new Secretary of State Karen Bradley that a deal was tantalisingly close last autumn, there is no public indication of how compromise on the Irish Language, same sex marriage and Troubles legacy institutions might be reached. Indeed just this week in the Dail, Sinn Féin leader Gerry Adams challenged Taoiseach Leo Varadkar about the difficulty in compromising on what he portrayed as fundamental human rights issues. While reminding Mr Adams of his party's responsibilities regarding good governance in Northern Ireland, the taoiseach agreed that rights which are enjoyed elsewhere in Britain and Ireland should also apply in Northern Ireland. There's no question that DUP Leader Arlene Foster would prefer to be occupying the first minister's offices at Stormont Castle and the assembly building, rather than talking about how the executive might be put back together again. However, a compromise on the \"red line\" issues could be difficult to sell to her grassroots, and there is more than a suspicion that some DUP MPs are content with a slide towards direct rule which puts them centre-stage in NI politics. Indeed there's increasing frustration within the DUP's Westminster ranks about the way the long-winded Stormont talks have delayed the distribution of their £1b confidence and supply cash. The secretary of state insists her report back to MPs on 7 February isn't a deadline for these talks, but a \"milestone\". However the head of the civil service, David Sterling, says that \"it will be incredibly difficult\" if there is no certainty over the Stormont budget by 8 February. Put that together with DUP MPs' impatience and Sinn Féin arguing there is no public appetite for an open-ended negotiation and it looks like these discussions will come to a head some time next month. After that Parliament Buildings could, theoretically, once more become a hub of urgent legislative work as our MLAs make up for lost time. Or its corridors may once again empty out, with only the continuing inquiry into the scandal which brought down the Executive providing any semblance of activity.",

In a statement, the company said product safety was its \"primary\" consideration. Kevin Branton, 32, and Richard Smith, 30, died in 2010 in Saltash, while Maureen Cook, 47, Audrey Cook, 86, and Alfred, known as John, Cook, 90, died in 2013 in Camborne. Opening the inquest, Coroner Geraint Williams said post-mortem examinations showed all five died from carbon monoxide poisoning. In a statement to the inquest, Alp Karahasanoğlu, from Arcelik, the Turkish parent company of Beko, said appliances were subjected to rigorous internal testing before being tested externally. He said safety testers aimed to anticipate ways in which customers might misuse a product but that it was \"not always possible to see into the minds of the end user\". \"No-one foresaw the possibility that the grill might be used with the grill door shut, contrary to the advice in the user manual,\" he said. Mr Karahasanoğlu said the reason for this advice was for the efficiency of the grill and not to prevent the build-up of carbon monoxide. \"No-one at Arcelik was aware of this risk until these tragic deaths came to our notice,\" he said. The inquest heard in a statement the Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy first became aware of five fatalities linked to the use of gas cookers with grill doors closed in early 2009.

She also said 28 May would be designated as a company-wide holiday, known as a \"reset day\". Ms Fraser used the memo to address how working practices would change when the coronavirus pandemic has passed. The coronavirus crisis prompted a sudden shift to remote work for many businesses globally, ushering in the widespread use of video-call software such as Zoom. As vaccinations against Covid-19 are rolled out, many businesses are in the process of sorting out their future working arrangements. Ms Fraser, who was appointed to lead the bank last month, said it was clear changes needed to be made in response to feedback from staff. \"The blurring of lines between home and work and the relentlessness of the pandemic workday have taken a toll on our wellbeing,\" Ms Fraser said in the memo, which was shared with BBC partner CBS News. \"It's simply not sustainable.\" \"After listening to colleagues around the world, it became apparent we need to combat the 'Zoom fatigue' that many of us feel,\" she added, explaining the policy to limit video calls on Fridays. A debate about working conditions within the financial sector was spurred by complaints by junior bankers at Goldman Sachs last week. In a survey, which surfaced on social media, staff said they were facing \"inhumane\" conditions and 100-hour work weeks at the American investment bank. In response, the bank vowed to better enforce a rule designed to give junior bankers more time off over weekends. The 'new normal' In countries where coronavirus infections have dropped off, some companies have gradually started to bring staff back into the office. Meanwhile, other businesses have said they expect some of the increased flexibility introduced during the pandemic to remain. In her memo, Ms Fraser said she expected most Citi staff to return to the office at least part-time in a post-pandemic world. But, she said, \"a return to any kind of new normal is still a few months away for many of us\". Ms Fraser said there were benefits to physically working from offices, including easier collaboration, better feedback and a sense of \"belonging\". Other large companies have started laying out their plans for work beyond the coronavirus crisis.

The Google-owned company said YouTube Music would come to Europe \"soon\". Personalised playlists YouTube Music product manager Elias Roman said: \"The days of jumping back and forth between multiple music apps and YouTube are over. Whether you want to listen, watch or discover, it's all here.\" In a blog post, he added that the service would offer a mix of \"official songs, albums, thousands of playlists and artist radio plus YouTube's tremendous catalogue of remixes, live performances, covers and music videos that you can't find anywhere else\". He promised that the new app would offer personalised playlists based on users' streaming history, much like Spotify's Discover Weekly. It is understood that YouTube Music will eventually replace Google Play Music, which is the company's current streaming offering. Existing Google Play Music customers will get a YouTube Music package thrown into their subscription for free, while Roman reassured users that their playlists, purchases and uploads would remain intact once Google Play was phased out. YouTube is already the most popular platform for streaming music in the world (excluding China) - accounting for 46% of all listening. Although the site attracts more than a billion music fans every month, it has repeatedly been attacked by the music industry for allowing users to upload videos that infringe on copyright, and for failing to pay artists properly. The new service is evidence of a rapprochement between Google and the music industry, and new licensing deals were negotiated last year. Although more than one billion people stream music on YouTube every month, the Google-owned company lags behind its competitors when it comes to paid-for subscriptions. Launching in five territories Its current offerings - Google Play and YouTube Red - reportedly have a combined user base of seven million paying customers. Spotify currently has 75 million subscribers, while Apple Music has 42 million, with a further eight million taking advantage of its free three-month trial. The five territories where YouTube Music will launch are the US, Australia, Mexico, South Korea and New Zealand. Not by coincidence, these are the countries where YouTube Red - a subscription service offering original programmes and videos - already exists.

It could help to explain why people with apparently no conventional risk factors, such as high cholesterol, can still go on to have a heart attack. Experts say more work is needed to explore the screening idea. Spotting risk early GRS can be measured at any age because people's DNA does not change, so, in theory, children could be tested. The test looks for patterns of risky genes rather than a single inherited gene. In the study, researchers looked at blood samples, but they say the test could be done with a simple mouth swab. They devised the GRS after analysing the genomic data from 500,000 people aged between 40 and 69, held in the UK Biobank, including 22,000 who had coronary heart disease. Lead author Dr Michael Inouye, of the Baker Heart and Diabetes Institute and University of Cambridge, said while roughly half of coronary heart disease (CHD) is down to genetics or is inherited, the other half is lifestyle or environmental. \"We have been missing a genetic component in risk screenings... we've just been really in the dark about the genetic half.\" Participants with a GRS in the top 20% were more than four times more likely to develop coronary heart disease than those with scores in the bottom 20%. CHD is the leading cause of death worldwide and is responsible for more than 66,000 deaths in the UK each year. Senior author Prof Sir Nilesh Samani, from the University of Leicester, said assessing people for their risk of CHD in their 40s through NHS health checks was \"imprecise\". As the condition starts several decades before symptoms develop, he said there is a need to identify those at risk earlier which GRS can do. He added it could provide a most cost-effective way of helping doctors select patients \"who would most benefit from interventions, and avoiding unnecessary screening and treatments for those unlikely to benefit\". Dr Inouye said \"there is still a lot of work to be done\" before a test is actually deployed within any formal health care system like the NHS. Larger and more diverse studies would also increase the accuracy of the test.

It aims to rebalance copyright controls for the net age but critics say it will stifle freedom of expression. Net veterans have signed an open letter against the directive and others have made tools to aid lobbying efforts. Lobbying call The wide-ranging directive has emerged from a process started in 2014 to \"modernise\" copyright rules so they support what people do online and make it easier for some organisations, such as schools, to use protected material. Article 13 of the Copyright Directive has given rise to the most protests. Critics say this requires web services to filter everything people put online to ensure what they post does not impinge on any copyrighted material. Web creator Sir Tim Berners-Lee, net pioneer Vint Cerf, Jimmy Wales from Wikipedia, and many others sent an open letter to the European Union this week urging it to scrap the article. In the letter they warned that if Article 13 were to be passed as it is now drafted, it could restrict online life. \"The damage that this may do to the free and open internet as we know it is hard to predict, but in our opinions could be substantial,\" said the letter. \"The cost of putting in place the necessary automatic filtering technologies will be expensive and burdensome, and yet those technologies have still not developed to a point where their reliability can be guaranteed,\" it said. In addition, the Copyright 4 Creativity (C4C) group, which is campaigning against Article 13, this week launched the Save Your Internet site that makes it easier for concerned citizens to email, phone or send tweets to MEPs. Backed by many academic and creative organisations, the C4C group claims Article 13 could \"break\" the internet by putting net firms, rather than users, in charge of what appears online. A detailed analysis of the impact of the Copyright Directive was published this week by Create - a body set up by the UK's research councils to gather and publish research about issues affecting the UK's creative community. It said Article 13 was at odds with established practice that has emerged from cases heard at the European Court of Justice which have been \"against general monitoring\". \"In economic terms, the proposal threatens the benefits of user-led innovation for cultural practices that are rapidly changing,\" it said, adding that a more cautious approach should be taken.",

Jones then continued to claim £182,000 in benefits until it finally emerged Margaret was missing in October 2016. At the High Court in Glasgow Lord Matthews told Cairney he must serve at least 14 years. Jones' minimum life tariff was also set at 14 years. She was also found guilty of benefit fraud as Margaret's money was paid directly into her account. Lord Matthews told them: \"Only you two know the truth. Only you know where her remains are.\" The judge said it was obvious the motive for the murder and the cover-up was financial. He added: \"Margaret Fleming was a vulnerable young woman with evident difficulties. She was in your care and you breached the trust placed in you. \"The manner in which you described her when you spoke about her was cruel and the fantastic web of deceit you spun was callous and calculating.\" Thomas Ross QC, for Cairney, said his client uses a wheelchair and had his colon removed a few years ago after he contracted an infection. He also suffers from hip damage and the after effects of breaking three vertebrate. Mr Ross said: \"Mr Cairney continues to deny any involvement in the crime and, so far as he is concerned, he maintains that, to his knowledge, Margaret is still alive.\" Iain Duguid QC, for Jones, said his client was diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy, a condition which affects the nervous system, in 1994. The court heard the case has left Jones, a former legal secretary and greenkeeper, \"isolated\" from her friends and family. The QC said his client also maintains her innocence and that, as recent as their last contact in October 2017, Margaret was still alive. Despite a painstaking search of their dilapidated property in Inverkip on the Clyde coast, and its garden, no trace of Margaret has ever been found. Testimony from Avril's brother, Richard Jones, was used to pinpoint the last independent sighting of the teenager on 17 December, 1999. Three weeks later, on 5 January, 2000, Avril told her mother, Florence Jones, Margaret had run off with a traveller. The couple, who had no previous convictions, then embarked on a cover up which involved bogus letters and erasing all trace of Margaret from the cottage where she had lived for around two years. The catalyst for the teenager moving in with the couple was the death of her father in 1995. Cairney, who was his friend, offered to help and took advantage of Margaret's strained relationship with her mother. All ties between the pair were severed in November 1997 when Cairney assaulted Margaret Cruickshanks after she arrived at Seacroft to see her daughter. Thereafter the couple took control of the teenager's life and subjected her to what police described as a \"living hell\". Police and prosecutors narrowed the timeframe of the murder to a three-week period around the turn of the millennium. The trial heard that a benefits investigator attempted to visit Ms Fleming in June 2012 but was told by Jones that she would not see her. The investigator said a duty social worker should have visited the \"totally chaotic\" property to follow up on the young woman's welfare, but no-one did. When police were finally alerted four years later it was as a result of an application for Personal Independence Payments (PIP) - which had been filled out by Jones. In it she wrote that Ms Fleming \"needs constant care\", had self-harmed and was \"caught eating out of a dog bowl\". A social worker phoned Jones to offer help and was told Ms Fleming had not been to the doctor, despite picking a hole in her head. Police Scotland subsequently launched a missing persons' investigation in October 2016. When justice eventually caught up with the couple a year later they maintained Margaret was still alive and often returned to visit them. Cairney even gave evidence in his defence, during which he was warned by the judge for insulting prosecutor Iain McSporran QC. But an exhaustive investigation failed to find any trace of the teenager and the jury took just three hours to find the pair guilty. Det Supt Paul Livingstone, the officer who led the investigation, said: \"Margaret was a very vulnerable young woman when she was abused, neglected, manipulated and murdered by these two greedy, evil individuals. \"Margaret's family and friends will never know just what happened to her and they have been denied the right to pay their final respects to her at her funeral. \"I would say to Cairney and Jones - if you have a scrap of decency you will give the answers to the questions that Margaret's family deserve. \"I am willing to meet either of them so that they can tell me in order to provide some kind of comfort to her family and allow them to put her to rest finally.\"",

Explosions and firing were heard in key cities on Friday night and thousands heeded a call by President Erdogan to rise up against the coup-plotters. It is unclear who was behind the coup. The authorities also said 104 suspected coup-plotters had also been killed. Some 2,745 Turkish judges have also been dismissed in the wake of the coup, state media say. They are reported to include a member of the country's top court. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has blamed a \"parallel structure\" - a reference to Fethullah Gulen, a powerful but reclusive US-based Muslim cleric whom he accuses of fomenting unrest. In a televised speech on Saturday night, he called on the US to extradite Mr Gulen. Mr Gulen has rejected any suggestion of links to what happened, saying he condemned \"in the strongest terms, the attempted military coup in Turkey\". Why did coup happen? - Jeremy Bowen, BBC News Middle East Editor The attempted coup happened because Turkey is deeply divided over President Erdogan's project to transform the country and because of the contagion of violence from the war in Syria. President Erdogan and his AK Party have become experts at winning elections, but there have always been doubts about his long-term commitment to democracy. He is a political Islamist who has rejected modern Turkey's secular heritage. Mr Erdogan has become increasingly authoritarian and is trying to turn himself into a strong executive president. From the beginning Mr Erdogan's government has been deeply involved in the war in Syria, backing Islamist opposition to President Assad. But violence has spread across the border, helping to reignite the fight with the Kurdish PKK, and making Turkey a target for the jihadists who call themselves Islamic State. That has caused a lot of disquiet. Turkey has faced increasing turmoil and the attempt to overthrow President Erdogan will not be the last of it. Read more: Why Turkey's stability matters The BBC's Katy Watson in Istanbul says people there are shocked - President Erdogan divides opinion, but a military takeover was not something they saw coming. Events began on Friday evening as tanks took up positions on two of the bridges over the Bosphorus Strait in Istanbul, blocking traffic. Troops were seen on the streets and low-flying military jets were filmed over Ankara. Shortly after, an army faction issued a statement that a \"peace council\" was running the country, and it had launched the coup \"to ensure and restore constitutional order, democracy, human rights and freedoms\". President Erdogan, then in the south-west resort of Marmaris, made a televised address via his mobile phone, urging people to take to the streets to oppose the uprising. After flying to Istanbul, Mr Erdogan said: \"What is being perpetrated is a treason and a rebellion. They will pay a heavy price.\" During the violence, the Turkish parliament and presidential buildings in Ankara were attacked. Gunfire was also heard outside Istanbul police headquarters and tanks were said to be stationed outside Istanbul airport. Broadcaster CNN Turk was temporarily taken off air after soldiers entered the building and tried to take it over. CNN Turk later tweeted a photo of soldiers being arrested by police. There were reports of fierce clashes in Taksim Square in central Istanbul, and gunfire and explosions were heard near the square.

            "input": "Why is Uttar Pradesh important? The northern state is India's most populous, with more than 222 million people. If it were a separate country, it would be the fifth-largest by population in the world after China, India, the United States and Indonesia. Commonly called UP, the state sends the largest number of MPs - 80 - to India's parliament. It is often said that the party that wins the state rules the country. Several prime ministers, including India's first PM Jawaharlal Nehru, have come from here. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who is from the western state of Gujarat, also chose to make his parliamentary debut from the state in the 2014 general election when he contested from Varanasi. And voters in the state can easily claim the credit for his Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) stunning sweep of the elections. Of the 282 seats they won, 71 were from Uttar Pradesh. Who are the main players? It's a three-way contest between the governing BJP, the regional Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) and the state's ruling Samajwadi Party (SP), which is contesting the polls in alliance with the Congress. Since the late 1990s, the Samajwadi Party and the Bahujan Samaj Party have dominated state politics, with the Congress and the BJP pushed to the sidelines. The family drama gripping Indian politics Why the bicycle could decide an election But this time, buoyed by its success in the general election, the BJP is making a serious bid for victory. The party is yet to declare a chief ministerial candidate and is banking on the popularity and charisma of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to win the polls. Mr Modi has been criss-crossing the state, addressing election rallies and exhorting voters to give the BJP a chance. The Samajwadi Party is led by 43-year-old Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav. He led his party to victory in the 2012 state assembly polls and is hoping for an encore when the votes are counted on 11 March. His journey, however, has been far from smooth, especially in the past few weeks when he fought a very public battle with Mulayam Singh Yadav, his father and chief of the party. As father and son fought for power in a manner likened to political drama House of Cards, the party seemed on the verge of disintegrating. But Yadav junior won the duel, and has since forged an alliance with India's main opposition Congress party. The partners have been holding joint election rallies, promising good governance, state development and free smartphones for young people. Pitted against the BJP and the SP-Congress alliance is the Bahujan Samaj Party, led by Dalit (formerly Untouchables) icon Ms Mayawati. The four-time state chief minister, who lost power in 2012, is seeking a comeback. She is hugely popular among her community, but during her earlier stints she was criticised for spending millions of dollars to build statues of herself and other Dalit icons. This time though, she has promised to not spend money on statues and says she will work to lift millions of people out of poverty. What's at stake? Because of its sheer size and numbers, UP is a key battleground. And for the parties in the fray, these elections are being seen as a do-or-die battle. The BJP hasn't done too well in state polls since winning the 2014 general elections, so a victory here is important. Also, the polls are being seen as a referendum on Mr Modi's recent move to ban 500 and 1,000 rupee notes. The timing of the move has been questioned by many and if the party loses, a blame game is likely to begin. A victory for Akhilesh Yadav is crucial as it will cement his position as the leader of his party. If he loses, the rebel faction led by his uncle Shivpal Yadav will get a boost. A win will also bring cheer to the Congress, which has had little joy with voters in the general election or in regional polls for the last few years. And a win is absolutely essential for Ms Mayawati, who has spent the past five years in the political wilderness. Analysts say if she loses this time too, she risks becoming politically irrelevant and may find it very difficult to bounce back. How do the numbers look? With 403 seats up for grabs, thousands of contestants are in the fray, fighting for a share of the pie. More than 138 million voters will be casting their votes at 147,148 polling centres, watched over by thousands of police and paramilitary troops, during the seven phases of voting spread over a month. Despite its political significance, UP remains among India's most backward states with millions living in extreme poverty, a lack of employment opportunities and rampant corruption. For some voters the only tool they have to express themselves with is their vote. And during elections they come out in large numbers to use it - often against those in power.",

            "input": "This can be either in-person at early voting stations, or absentee - that is, by post. In-person early voting is common in Finland and Canada, while Switzerland, Germany and the UK accept postal votes. In the US, this means people are able to cast their ballots before 3 November - either by post or in-person. Early voting has steadily increased with each election year. The number of people who voted early in the 2016 presidential election was more than five times the number who voted early 24 years earlier, in 1992. And with the Covid-19 pandemic affecting everything this year, and some form of early voting under way in all 50 states, we're already seeing record numbers of people casting their ballots ahead of time. Donald Trump is among those who has voted early, casting his vote in his home state of Florida. But the process hasn't been universally popular. So who is voting early, and why? And what do some people have against it? Here's what you need to know. How many people have voted early so far this year? According to the US Elections Project, as of 2 November more than 99 million Americans had voted early - either by post or in person. This is already more than the total number of early votes cast in the 2016 election. This site is run by Michael McDonald, a professor at the University of Florida who specialises in early voting, and tracks the number of votes cast by state and overall. By his count, the state with the highest number of early voters so far is California, where more than 12 million people have already voted. Next is Texas, where the 9.7 million total has surpassed the total turnout for the state in 2016. Florida has had more than 8.9 million early voters so far. The number of people who've voted early so far is also already 72% of the total number of people who voted in the election in 2016. Who is voting early? As well as knowing where this year's early voters live, we are also now getting a sense of who these voters are. First of all, we know that a lot of early voters this year are young. According to the Tufts University Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning and Engagement (Circle), more than five million young people - classified as those aged between 18 and 29 - had cast early votes by 26 October. About three million of those young votes were cast in 14 battleground states, Circle adds. Polls have also shown that young voters could turn out in greater numbers this year than in the last election. In 2016, turnout was just over 46% among 18 to 29-year-olds - while 71% of people older than 65 voted. This year, a Harvard Youth Poll suggests that as many as 63% of people the same age will vote. More African Americans are voting early this year, too. According to analysis from data firm TargetSmart, more than six times as many black voters had cast early votes by 18 October this year, compared to the same point in 2016. Why are so many people voting early? One overarching reason is the coronavirus pandemic. The traditional way of voting - thousands of people going to a single polling station on one particular day, queuing with other people for hours, and standing in polling booths that are in proximity to each other - is not conducive to social distancing measures, particularly when not all states have mandated face coverings indoors. So for this election, at least 30 states have made adjustments to make it easier and more accessible for people to cast absentee votes. This includes, for example, removing strict requirements for people to have an excuse to have a postal vote, or allowing people to cite their concerns about Covid-19 as their excuse. Some states have also implemented ballot drop boxes, so people don't have to go to a crowded polling station, or have offered to prepay postage on election ballots that are sent in by post. Others, such as California and Colorado, have proactively sent all eligible voters mail-in ballots - a practice known as universal mail-in voting. In North Carolina, the state's board of elections extended the deadline for postal ballots, saying that any ballots received up until 12 November would be counted - as long as they were postmarked on or before 3 November. Some states have also brought the start date for early in-person voting forward from last year - for example, Texas moved its start date forward by six days, from 19 to 13 October. Minnesota and South Dakota were the earliest states to begin early voting, with in-person voting starting 46 days before the election. And while not all states have in-person early voting, those that don't are accepting early mail-in ballots. Having said that, voting early doesn't necessarily mean voting easily. In Georgia, for example, thousands of people waited for hours to vote at in-person polling stations. And in Pennsylvania, the state supreme court ruled that ballots needed to be mailed in with a secrecy envelope hiding the identity of the voter. However, because this decision was announced so soon before voting opened, it caused concern that significant numbers of so-called \"naked ballots\" would be declared invalid. There are also currently more than 300 lawsuits in 44 states concerning how absentee votes are counted, who is allowed to vote early, and how mail-in ballots are collected. Republican-run states say restrictions are necessary to prevent voter fraud, but Democrats say these are attempts at voter suppression. How could this impact the election? Perhaps the most obvious way an increase in early voting will affect the election is by driving up overall turnout. Prof McDonald, who runs the US Elections Project, told Reuters news agency that he predicts that a record 150 million people could vote in this election - which would be about 65% of eligible voters in the country, and the highest turnout by percentage since 1908. And according to Prof McDonald's data so far, the mail-in ballots are already leaning towards a Democrat majority. However, this isn't a reliable indicator of who will win the election in the end. President Trump launched a campaign against postal voting earlier this year, arguing that expanded mail-in voting would lead to the \"most corrupt election\" in US history and promoting claims that people would be able to vote more than once in the absentee ballot system. His dislike of postal voting may influence some of his supporters to wait until election day to cast their vote in person. To clarify - there is no evidence of widespread fraud in the absentee voting system. In fact, the rate of voting fraud overall in the US is between 0.00004% and 0.0009%, according to a 2017 study by the Brennan Center for Justice.",

Sir Chris, 36, said he was \"very excited\" to have been chosen to carry the torch in his adopted home city. The day's relay started at one of the homes of UK golf, Lytham St Anne's, which will stage The Open in July. There, 14-year-old schoolgirl Alice Kelly , who raised £1,200 towards an education project in The Gambia, took up the flame at 06:05 BST. After a stop in Warton, the relay moved on to Preston, where the Olympic flame was carried by former 800m champion Diane Modahl, who won gold at the 1990 Commonwealth Games and competed in four Olympic Games. The morning also saw Rosie Hollis , 26, from Darwen, take the flame to Blackburn Town Hall. She launched a campaign to lower the age for cervical smear screening after she was diagnosed with cancer of the cervix two years ago. The relay then called at Accrington, Burnley, Crawshawbooth, Reedsholme and Rawtenstall before arriving in Rochdale. Lee Seung Gi, one of Korea's top actors, was among a number of Korean torchbearers on Saturday. He took the torch through Rochdale. The torch stopped next in Heywood and Bury before moving through the Greater Manchester areas of Whitfield, Prestwich, Higher Broughton and Cheetham Hill before arriving in the city centre itself. Sir Chris took the flame down Deansgate in front of a throng on either side. The Scot, who is targeting more Olympic gold medals in London, trains in Manchester. Before setting off with the torch in his adopted home city, Sir Chris said carrying the torch had been a \"family affair\". He said: \"My mum carried the torch just outside Wigan, my great uncle Andy carried it just outside Dundee and I watched them both online on the live-cam [the torchcam livestream] and it was very emotional to see what it meant, particularly to my great uncle Andy. \"He's 95 years of age and to see how many people from the community came out to support him, it was phenomenal. \"It just shows the Olympic torch, it's not about gold medals, it's about communities coming together and supporting people who have made a difference to them.\" He added: \"I am just very, very happy and grateful I have been asked to join in with this party.\" Sir Chris handed the flame on to another noted cyclist, Geoff Cooke. The 67-year-old competed for Britain at the Olympic and Commonwealth Games, winning tandem sprint gold at the 1974 Commonwealths, before going on to coach the national squad. He still cycles and coaches juniors. The torch relay also visited Manchester's statue of mathematician and computer pioneer Alan Turing on the centenary of his birth . The Olympic flame was taken to the monument by Martin Hewitt , 30, a soldier who lost the use of his right arm when he was shot in Afghanistan but has now become an international skier. The relay came to a close with an evening celebration in the city's Albert Square. The flame was carried onto the stage by 2011 Mancunian Of the Year, Carl Tilson , who has raised more than £100,000 for a charity that helps fellow sufferers of muscle-wasting disease Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Bands the Tribe and the Courteeners, the Hallé Youth Choir and Britain's Got Talent finalists, dance act Twist and Pulse then entertained the crowds. The show was followed by a free party at the Printworks, Withy Grove, with some of Africa's finest musicians bringing the 2012 Cultural Olympiad to Manchester's streets. The high winds that marred Friday's relay abated on Saturday but there was still a scattering of rain. On Friday, a trip to the top of Blackpool Tower was called off and the relay route was diverted away from the sea front. A BBC Blue Peter live outside broadcast and event in Burnley on Saturday was cancelled because of poor conditions. A total of 8,000 people will carry the flame during its 8,000 mile, 70-day journey to the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games in London on 27 July.",

            "input": "By James GallagherHealth and science reporter, BBC News An injury to the spinal cord stops the brain controlling the body. The study, in the journal Science , showed injured rats could even learn to sprint with spinal stimulation. Experts said it was an \"exceptional study\" and that restoring function after paralysis \"can no longer be dismissed as a pipedream\". In 2011, a man from Oregon in the US was able to stand up again while his spinal cord was stimulated with electricity. Rob Summers had been paralysed from the chest down after being hit by a car. Now researchers at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL) say they have restored far more movement in rats which became able to run and climb stairs. 'Reawakening' The spinal cord of the rats was cut in two places. It meant messages could not travel from the brain to the legs, but the spinal cord was still in one piece. The researchers then tried to repair the damage. In an advance from the Rob Summers study, the spinal cord was first injected with chemicals to stimulate the nerves in the spine. The base of the spinal cord was then electrically stimulated as well. The scientists say they were reawakening the \"spinal brain\". However, this was not sufficient to restore movement. The rats were supported in a robotic harness and were shown a treat which they needed to \"learn\" to walk towards. The lead researcher, Prof Gregoire Courtine, said: \"Over time the animal regains the capacity to perform one, two steps, then a long run and eventually we gain the capacity to sprint over ground, climb stairs and even pass obstacles.\" He told the BBC: \"It is completely unexpected to see this recovery, they walk and climb stairs voluntarily.\" The scientists showed that new nerves were forming across the injury and there were also changes in the brain. This is not, however, a cure for spinal cord injuries in people. Prof Reggie Edgerton, from the University of California Los Angeles, was part of the team which helped Rob Summers stand again. He told the BBC the study was \"important\" and that it was becoming clear that engaging the brain was the key. \"You've got to make the rat want to step, it demonstrates the importance of training and rehabilitation,\" he said. Both procedures only work while the spinal cord is still being stimulated, even though new nerves have bridged the injury. Why this is the case is still unknown. Prof Edgerton speculated that \"we are activating the spinal cord to a critical level\" close to the level which would trigger movement, and a small signal from \"the brain pushes it over\" leading to movement. Dr Bryce Vissel, from the Garvan Institute of Medical Research in Sydney, said he was \"excited\" by the research. He said: \"The major advance of this new study is to show that it is possible to stimulate almost complete functional recovery in rats with profound injury, using a combination of therapeutic drugs injected into the spinal cord, electrical stimulation of the spinal cord and initial assistance to walk. \"We are on the edge of a truly profound advance in modern medicine: the prospect of repairing the spinal cord after injury.\" Dr Mark Bacon, the director of research at the charity Spinal Research, said: \"This is a robust demonstration that medical research is moving in the right direction and restoring function after paralysis can no longer be dismissed as a pipedream. \"For all its complexity, the important message here may be that our standard approach to rehab may not be making the most of the potential to restore function if we don't provide appropriate 'rewarding' feedback to every part of the nervous system, including the brain.\" However he warned that \"real world\" injuries might be more complicated, with less tissue for new nerves to grow through.",

The Shrews boss recently spent time in intensive care, but with his side 1-0 down on Tuesday, a half-time team talk over the phone inspired them to a win. He'll be managing from hospital once again on Saturday as they play Ipswich. Before the League One side's matches, \"the coaching staff connect him to the Bluetooth speaker and he gives us all his tactics,\" Tuesday's winning goal scorer, 23-year-old Harry Chapman, tells Newsbeat. He only joined Shrewsbury on loan in January and is yet to play a game with Steve Cotterill on the touchline. But the manager's presence is being felt. \"We came in at one down and he came on the phone and just said: 'look boys don't worry'.\" Harry says the manager even told them he was thinking of changing the formation, but decided against it - telling the players: \"'I think if we can get a goal we can go on and win it'.\" Which is exactly what they did. Twenty-eight-year-old captain Ollie Norburn agrees: \"He just settled us down. His instructions are pretty clear. It's like he's actually in the room.\" The players say the boss's \"huge presence\" and \"big aura\" is a big miss. But \"just his voice over a speaker is quite refreshing really\". 'You can hear his machine' The manager was only appointed in November 2020. A Covid outbreak in January then closed the club for two weeks with several players having to isolate. Steve was admitted to hospital after testing positive for coronavirus and then later to intensive care, where he was given oxygen to help him breathe. But his dedication to the club hasn't wavered. \"His love for the game is unbelievable,\" says captain Ollie. \"He's in hospital but all he can think about is us and winning games.\" Despite assistants Aaron Wilbraham and Dave Longwell taking over after Steve was first admitted, \"the detail behind everything\" comes from him. That includes talking to the players before, during and after games via a Bluetooth speaker - something that midfielder Harry Chapman says gives them an edge. \"You can hear the passion in his voice when he's on the phone. How much it means to him. It gives us an extra edge when we go out like, 'let's do it for the gaffer'.\" Ollie also thinks Steve's time in hospital has been a \"gelling period\" for the team. \"He doesn't want to let us down, so as players we've got to go out there on a Saturday and give everything for him.\" But the passion isn't the only thing in Steve's voice. \"You can hear it,\" says Harry. \"Towards the end he starts getting out of breath.\" Ollie says during Steve's team talks they can even \"hear his machine in the hospital\" and it's a reminder for everyone that \"his condition is quite clear\". \"I know it feels like he's a million miles away from everything laying in a hospital bed and he's been there for 40 days. He's obviously putting his body on the line.\" Follow Newsbeat on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. Listen to Newsbeat live at 12:45 and 17:45 weekdays - or listen back here.",

The two largest English exam boards - AQA and OCR - said they would not offer a separate alphabetical grade system. As a result, both decided not to offer any more GCSEs in Northern Ireland. However, the Department of Education has now written to principals advising them that some GCSEs can continue to be taught, even if they will be marked using the 9 to 1 grades. The exception will only apply to \"minority languages and other small entry subjects\", like Russian, Latin, Classical Civilisation and Mandarin, for example. The Northern Ireland exam board - the Council for the Curriculum, Examinations and Assessment (CCEA) - does not currently offer GCSE courses in those subjects. Rather than force schools to stop offering those subjects, the department letter says that \"schools will be allowed to continue to offer 9-1 GCSEs in those subjects\". However, they will only be allowed to do this \"until alphabetically-graded specifications become available\". Campbell College in Belfast regularly offers a GCSE in Mandarin through one of the English exam boards. The school's principal, Robert Robinson, said it was important that they were able to continue to offer that. \"I don't like the contraction that's going to be caused by only being able to go to CCEA,\" he said. \"We should be internationalising, not just looking to needs within Northern Ireland. \"My understanding of the letter is that we can continue to offer Mandarin, and be graded as 9 to 1,\" he said. \"So there'll be a mix-match, as pupils will get their result as 9 to 1, as well as their A* to G grades.\" However, some schools currently teaching a GCSE in computing through the English OCR exam board face having to find an alternative GCSE course in September 2016 and then change again in 2017. That is because a new CCEA GCSE in Digital Technology will not be available until September 2017. The Principal of Our Lady and St Patrick's College in Belfast, Dermot Mullan, said his staff could be teaching three different GCSE computing courses in two years. \"At the moment we're teaching the OCR specification, but now we have to look for a different specification,\" he said. \"CCEA aren't bringing on a computing GCSE for first teaching until 2017. \"In the gap in 2016, we may have to look for an alternative course with the Welsh WJEC board. \"So it could be OCR, WJEC and CCEA in three consecutive years.\" No pupils currently in Year 12 will be affected by the changes. In Year 11, only pupils studying GCSEs in Maths and English Literature through English exam boards may be affected. However, the department letter says that schools can apply to continue with their current courses in those subjects. The English boards will continue to offer A-Level courses in Northern Ireland.",

They are not thought to have broken the rules, but the two Tories admitted it would not be seen as in their spirit. Senedd authorities are investigating. A fourth Senedd Member Nick Ramsay has denied being part of the gathering. On 8 December, a group of Members of the Senedd and staff drank alcohol in the Ty Hywel building in Cardiff Bay, which houses the Senedd's offices. A ban on the sale, supply and consumption of alcohol in licensed premises came into force in Wales at 18:00 GMT on 4 December - four days before the politicians were seen drinking together - although hospitality businesses could sell alcohol to take away after 18:00. Catering company Charlton House has the licence for serving alcohol on Senedd premises. The Welsh Government stated on Tuesday that the alcohol ban applied to the person running the licensed premises, rather than customers. 'No matter their position' Speaking at a journalists' lobby briefing Allegra Stratton, Boris Johnson's press secretary, said she had not spoken to the prime minister about whether Welsh Conservative Senedd leader Paul Davies should remain in post. But she added: \"The prime minister needs everybody - no matter their status, no matter their position in life - to be going above and beyond in following the rules on Covid.\" The former chairman of a Westminster standards watchdog questioned whether the three involved should be put up for election at the next Welsh Parliament polls on 6 May. Sir Alistair Graham, the former chairman of the Committee on Standards in Public Life, said if the allegations were proven \"then both parties are bound to ask questions\" ahead of the election. \"Do they want such people, who have shown such a lack of leadership, standing for election?,\" he said. He told BBC Radio Wales: \"I think it's very serious, poor behaviour by a group of politicians who we expect to give a lead about the spirit of the rules never mind the precise detail.\" He said the action by the Labour Party - to suspend Alun Davies - was appropriate and the Conservatives \"should have done the same\". Mr Ramsay was deselected by his local Conservative group last month after 13 years. A statement from his solicitor, Tim Gir, said Mr Ramsay was at the tea room on his own at the Senedd, without an invitation from anyone else, after work. \"He was hungry and he wanted to get something to eat. He was working on an article for the Argus [newspaper]. He sat on his own and was socially distanced,\" said Mr Gir. \"He attended the tea room at approximately 6pm. He had a chicken curry. He left at about 8pm. Others came in whilst he was there but it was not a 'gathering' Mr Ramsay was part of.\" 'Right thing' On Wednesday afternoon the health minister said the \"last thing\" that should happen at the end of an investigation was that \"it's only staff who essentially get thrown under the bus, everyone needs to look what they've done\". At a press conference, Vaughan Gething refused to be drawn on whether the Tory members should stand down or be suspended. But he said the Labour group's decision to suspend Alun Davies \"was the right thing\" to do. He said he himself had been subject of press stories \"where some people made comments, without wanting to understand the facts or not being interested in them so I don't think I should then lay in on an issue like this\". But, he added: \"Any sense of people not all being in this together, isn't helpful in terms of the message that we all need to follow.\" 'Totally flabbergasted' A senior Conservative source has told BBC Wales they were \"totally flabbergasted\" that the party Senedd members involved have not stood down pending the investigation. \"There's a lot of anger and I don't know how they can continue,\" the source added. \"Everyone I've spoken to in the party is just completely baffled by this. \"This is a complete own goal.\" David Fouweather, a Conservative councillor in Newport, said the Tories involved should \"stand aside and go\". One senior Conservative grassroots official who contacted BBC Wales said: \"I'm furious. The party messaging is trying to break up the Cardiff Bay cartel and they're having nice drinks with Alun Davies who, let's not forget, has been really vicious in public against us. \"I've spoken to a lot of Conservatives and they're not happy at all. \"Nobody is going to put their head on the line for Paul Davies. I'll be very surprised if he continues to the end of the week.\" The official also referred to Mr Millar's call at the start of the pandemic for the first minister to sack Health Minister Vaughan Gething over claims he broke Covid rules at the time when he sat and ate chips while on a walk with his family. The grassroots activist said: \"Darren Millar talking about Vaughan Gething having his chips - well, what on earth is he doing?\" 'Position untenable' Another Conservative councillor said: \"Paul's position as leader is now untenable, especially when you consider the strain that hardworking people are under.\" A senior Welsh Government minister also joined calls for the Conservative Party to take action of its own. Eluned Morgan, mental health minister, said she had written to the party asking it suspend those involved while \"investigations continue into this alleged incident\". Labour has suspended Alun Davies from the party's Senedd group pending an investigation. Plaid Cymru MS Rhun ap Iorwerth said politicians failed to set \"the best example that's something that should be regretted by all of us\". \"I want to be talking about how we can push government to deliver better in its response to this pandemic,\" he said. \"It's a matter of concern to me that distractions like this move the focus from where it should be and where you then have questions about the role of political leaders - and I count all of us, whether in government or in opposition, in that bracket.\" Licensee 'aware of alleged breach' Charlton House said it was \"aware of an alleged breach of public health regulations at the Senedd estate\" and took its \"responsibilities and obligations to restrictions and public health regulations across the UK very seriously\". \"We are currently undertaking a full investigation into this matter,\" the firm added. Wales' chief medical officer Dr Frank Atherton said it was \"important that everybody follows the rules\". \"I don't know the details of what may or may not have happened down there, I'm sure that will come out in the fullness of time,\" he told BBC Wales Live on Tuesday. What do the politicians involved say? A statement on behalf of Paul Davies, Darren Millar and Welsh Conservative chief of staff Paul Smith, who was also at the meeting, said they were \"profoundly sorry\". \"While we did not break the rules, we recognise that what was part of a day's work would not be seen to be following the spirit of them, especially given the tough time the country has been going through,\" the statement said. A spokesman for the Senedd Labour Group said a member had been suspended from the group \"while an investigation takes place into this alleged incident\". In his statement, Labour's Alun Davies said: \"I am very sorry if my actions have given the impression that I am in any way not committed to upholding the regulations which I have consistently supported throughout the last year.\" He said the purpose of the meeting \"was to seek to persuade the Welsh Conservatives to support my proposal for a Welsh Hearts Bill, which the Senedd endorsed on 21 October, and to make a commitment to enact this life-saving legislation in their manifesto for May's election\". Alun Davies added: \"The Senedd Commission has already confirmed to me that I did not breach the coronavirus regulations on the consumption of either food or alcohol that were in force at that time.\" A spokesman for the Senedd Commission said: \"We are aware of an incident on the Senedd estate last month which may have been contrary to public health regulations in force at the time. \"The Senedd Commission takes the public health regulations in Wales very seriously and is currently investigating the matter in order to establish an accurate account of what took place and to determine whether action may be required.\" Related Internet Links Senedd Cymru - Welsh Parliament",

            "input": "By Mark SavageBBC Music reporter \"It's a challenge, but it's a good one - and when you find that one brilliant hook, it's the best feeling.\" The 21-year-old only started writing music four years ago, when her brother - who's also a musician - invited her to play a show with him, on the condition she stopped playing Adele covers. \"I guess he figured out I had something in me, and I just needed that little push,\" she told the BBC earlier this year. It certainly worked. The then-teenager's first song, Sun, was playlisted on Norway's national radio station and, after a brief break to finish school, her next set of demos sparked a record label bidding war. Island Records got the gig after pursuing the singer around Bergen; and launched Sigrid's international career with last year's exuberant and kooky and charismatic Don't Kill My Vibe EP. The title track is her calling card. Inspired by a disastrous recording session in London where older, male producers patronised and demoralised her, it's a defiantly upbeat anthem to her own strength. It's given her the opportunity to play around the world; bowling over audiences with her charismatically uninhibited performances (she is, to put it mildly, from the Lorde school of dancing). Immediately after being told she'd won the Sound of 2018, Sigrid sat down with BBC News to discuss circuses, socks and the elusive quest for a perfect pop song. Congratulations on winning the Sound of 2018! How does it feel? I'm really honoured. I just want to swear a lot, but I know I can't do that on the BBC so I'm trying to hold it in! Previous winners include Adele, Sam Smith and Ellie Goulding. What does it mean to be in their company? Adele's one of my favourite artists! It's huge and I don't think I'm going to understand how big it is until I walk out of this room. Find out more about the Sound of 2018 Is it true that the first time you sang in public was at a sort of home-made circus? Haha! Yes! That was at my grandparents' cabin, which is situated in a bay 20 minutes from our house in Alesund. The children arranged a circus and we took money for people to come, which we spent on an inflatable dragon we could play on in the sea. What did you sing? A Norwegian song called Steinrøysa Neri Bakken by Alf Prøysen - it's like a traditional, old-school song. Was that the moment you decided to be a singer? That took quite a while, I think. I was a very shy kid. Very shy. But I started doing theatre when I was six years old and that really changed something. My more playful side came out of me. Then, when I was in junior high I started doing covers - Ellie Goulding, Adele, Coldplay, Keane - and I would change the rhythm or the melody to make it my own. That's when I discovered I like to make stuff, not just copy it. Then your first original song got picked up by the Norwegian equivalent of BBC Introducing. That was a big moment for me. It was the first time someone told me I made cool stuff outside of my school. But the thing was, I was very torn about what I wanted to do. I had a record contract, but I took a small break from releasing music because I wanted to finish school. At that point, I wanted to become a lawyer. I wanted to become a politics teacher. I had a lot of ideas about what I wanted to do! Didn't you end up studying politics? For two months! It was a three-year degree, but I only had the introduction. I'm very glad I quit. But I want to study some day. Maybe after my third album I'll just go to Uni. That would be really cool. Can you tell me about the recording session that inspired Don't Kill My Vibe? What did they do to you? Just some mean comments. I'm not sure if I want to go that deep into it. Anyway, the song isn't about me being a diva going, \"Oh, you don't respect me.\" It's just like, \"Just be polite and nice. That's all I'm asking for.\" You write principally on the piano. Why that instrument in particular? You can get so many moods out of it. The whole spectrum of emotions. [Getting up to play] This is my favourite chord - an F Major 7. It's so bittersweet. The piano really comes to the fore on Dynamite - which I've heard people compare to Adele's Someone Like You. What was going through your mind when you recorded that? I was trying to be as sad as possible. Like, on the brink of crying. We did it in one take. A lot of your other songs take negative emotions and turn them into something empowering. That's intentional, definitely. Did you set that goal when you went into the studio? Not necessarily when I go into the studio. Maybe an hour into the session we settle our goal for the day. But I always have a bigger vision, yes. And my vision is to make interesting pop music that has a nerve to it, that is catchy, that has a sense of humour. Is there something about Scandinavian pop that makes it stand out to British ears? Definitely my accent! My accent is weird. When I listen to some of the words I'm pronouncing in Don't Kill My Vibe, I think I could have been better! Even today, I feel like my English is terrible. I haven't been speaking English over Christmas. But I think the Scandi \"thing\" is very intricate melodies. English is our second language, and that creates a barrier where you have to concentrate on the melody. Because of that, I guess there's a history of making good vocal hooks - and that makes good pop music. There's a great moment on your latest single, Strangers, where you suddenly go \"whoop!\" in the middle of the chorus. How did that come about? I don't know! I just think it's a funny sound. I like to be dramatic in my music because that's when it gets to your heart. You want to have that nerve to it. But I also love to mix in humorous stuff like the \"whoop\" because it loosens it up and makes it interesting. Are you always looking for that magic ingredient? Oh yes! In every song. That's my favourite quest. I love getting into a single line and spending an hour on it. It's fascinating. It's like a treasure hunt. What's been the highlight of being a pop star so far? The coolest thing we've had on our rider has been woollen socks. That happened once in Norway and I've never been as happy! There's a merchandising opportunity for you: Sigrid socks! We actually have socks! For the EP, the creative team at Island came up with the idea of having a Don't Kill My Vibe t-shirt, and then a Plot Twist scarf, Fake Friends socks and a Dynamite polo sweater. And they're all real garments. How will you keep that going? Will single number 40 be the Sigrid meat dress? Ha! That would be really cool. Finally, how close are you to finishing your album? The thing is, I want to be a bit secretive about it, if that's alright? It's important to me that when I release it, I'm going to release it because it's finished. Not because it's expected to be out. But I'm aiming for 2018. It's very exciting! Follow us on Facebook, on Twitter @BBCNewsEnts, or on Instagram at bbcnewsents.

The assembly recall, which required the support of 30 MLAs, was initiated by SDLP MLA Daniel McCrossan. Education Minister Peter Weir will be asked to outline the medical advice his department has received. Secondary schools across most of England are to remain closed for an extra two weeks for most pupils, to help regain control of coronavirus. Education Secretary Gavin Williamson told the Commons on Wednesday that exam-year pupils would return a week earlier than their schoolmates in the week of 11 January. Meanwhile, Mr Weir will be asked to explain whether he will consider a phased return or extended closure in Northern Ireland, if recommended by medical and scientific advisers. Mr McCrossan called for \"leadership\" from the minister. Speaking on Wednesday, Mr McCrossan noted 4 January was less than two weeks after Christmas and pointed out that two weeks has generally been considered the gestation period for Covid-19. Writing on Twitter, he said: \"Children's education is essential, so too is their safety and that of staff. Schools must be safe for kids to return.\" \"There has been a lack of clarity, insufficient mitigations and support to assist our pupils and teachers,\" Mr McCrossan explained. Approval has been given for the recall by Stormont speaker Alex Maskey, who has written to all MLAs, asking them to convene at 11:00 GMT on Thursday. Mr Weir has already said all schools and other education settings will reopen in the first week of January. In a statement on Tuesday, the Department of Education said the minister had already highlighted the disruption to education faced by children during 2020. \"The minister said he was cognisant of the many young people who have prepared for exams in January, including over 25,000 taking GCSEs, and the need to enable them to sit these exams,\" said the statement. \"He said he must also have regard to the thousands of vulnerable children in Northern Ireland and the effect that whole scale school closures could have on those children in special schools with particular learning difficulties and specialist needs. \"Interventions which reduce face-to-face teaching for students would have the greatest impact on those most socially disadvantaged, widening further gaps within our system.\" The National Association of Schoolmasters Union of Women Teachers (NASUWT) criticised Mr Weir, saying his \"position that schools should open as normal from the 4 January grows more farcical by the day\". Before Christmas, Mr Weir announced that students in years 8 to 10 would be taught remotely from 25 January for at least two weeks. But Justin McCamphill, from the NASUWT, said: \"Moving to blended learning from the 25 January will be too little too late.\" \"The NASUWT is calling on all Executive parties to act to protect workers in schools, young people and the wider community. The union supports calls for the assembly to be recalled and emergency measures put in place,\" he said.",

The app lets users follow high-profile gamers, watch live gaming streams and leave comments without interacting with the rest of Facebook. It also lets gamers broadcast their own smartphone screen. While Facebook remains the largest social network on the planet, it has struggled to compete against dominant players Twitch and YouTube when it comes to games streaming and esports. Competition in the space is heating up, with Microsoft's Mixer and YouTube funding players and franchises in recent months. Gaming only Until now, Facebook's gaming brand been accessible as a tab inside the main Facebook app, and as an independent website. The company said the stand-alone app was \"a focused, gaming-only experience for people who want deeper access\". The app, which has been tested in Asia and Latin America for about a year and a half, launched on the Google Play app store on Monday. A version for Apple's iOS is still to follow. In common with rival apps, users can follow streamers and comment on live gameplay, and also interact with Facebook groups about individual games. But Facebook's app also lets people play games from the company's \"instant games\" library from a tab inside the app, without installing the software separately. Another feature is the ability to \"go live\" from the app and broadcast the smartphone's display on Facebook. The feature lets mobile gameplay be streamed directly without any extra equipment. YouTube has a similar feature available to channels with more than 1,000 subscribers. Bringing all those functions together \"helps it differentiate from other live streaming-only apps,\" said Piers Harding-Rolls, Research Director for games at Ampere Analysis. \"Facebook's approach is to democratise the streaming process, meaning any user can go live with a stream very easily.\" The approach may provide it with some advantages in markets where mobile gaming is much bigger - such as China and south-east Asia - he said. Facebook says it had five million installations of the app during the 18-month test run in limited markets, and that more than 700 million people already interacted with its gaming products. \"The Facebook Gaming app is a prime example of gaming's resurgence at Facebook over the last few years, and we're just getting started,\" said Vivek Sharma, vice president of Facebook Gaming. But Mr Harding-Rolls warned that a dedicated app strategy \"has its pros and cons\". \"It allows Facebook to position its offering against other live-streaming sites focused on games and helps drive visibility of games content on Facebook, but it requires users to download a dedicated app, which is likely to hamper adoption,\" he said. \"But it is also a user-acquisition funnel for consumers that might not be interested in the Facebook app, including young consumers,\" he said. Game-streaming viewership is estimated to have increased during the coronavirus lockdown period by at least 10%. But competition in the space had already increased before the virus emerged. In August last year, Microsoft secured an exclusive deal with the world's most-followed streamer, Ninja, resulting in him leaving Twitch. In January, YouTube purchased the rights to the Overwatch League and Call of Duty esports tournaments. Facebook has also made another recent bid for gamers' attention with the release of a gaming tournaments feature earlier this month, designed to let amateurs more easily organise their own esports competitions.",

The figures show homelessness hotspots outside London, with high rates in Birmingham, Brighton and Luton. The government says it does not recognise the figures, but is investing more than £500m on homelessness. For the very first time, Shelter has totted up the official statistics from four different forms of recorded homelessness. These were: The charity insists the overall figure, 254,514, released to mark 50 years since its founding, is a \"robust lower-end estimate\". It has been adjusted down to account for any possible overlap and no estimates have been added in where information was not available. Charity chief executive Campbell Robb said: \"Shelter's founding shone a light on hidden homelessness in the 1960s slums.\" He warned the housing crisis was \"tightening its grip\" on the UK. \"Hundreds of thousands of people will face the trauma of waking up homeless this Christmas,\" he said. \"Decades in the making, this is the tragic result of a nation struggling under the weight of sky-high rents, a lack of affordable homes and cuts to welfare support.\" 'I lost everything' Mother-of-two Mandie had a steady job in the civil service at the beginning of the year but now lives in emergency accommodation with her teenage twin daughters. \"I don't know where we'll end up next,\" she said. Mandie, 47, was made redundant in January and evicted from her two-bedroom flat in Luton. \"It was horrifying,\" she said. \"The council threatened to take my children from me.\" Mandie and her 13-year-old twins stayed at friends' houses and in hotel rooms while she waited to receive housing benefit payments. \"When will we be able to have a home to call our own?\" she said. The analysis shows homelessness is at its highest rates in central London, with as many as one in 25 without a home in Westminster and one in 27 with nowhere to live in Newham. But there are also many hotspots of severe homelessness stretching way beyond the capital, including: One of the charity's founders, Des Wilson, now in his 70s, said he hoped the country would respond to Shelter's urgent rallying call \"with the same combination of anger and compassion with which it supported our work all those years ago\". The Department for Communities and Local Government said homelessness was down on the 2003 figures and added: \"However, we know that one person without a home is one too many. \"That is why the government is investing over £500m during the course of this parliament to tackle homelessness. \"This includes protecting £315m for local authority homelessness prevention funding and £149m for central government funding.\" 'Widening gap' Martin Tett, the housing spokesman for the Local Government Association Housing, said councils were doing everything they could within existing resources to prevent and tackle the problem. But he said that funding pressures, the lack of affordable housing, and rents that are rising above incomes were leaving many councils struggling to cope with rising homelessness across all areas of the country. He said: \"Finding emergency housing for homeless people, particularly young or vulnerable people or those with families, is increasingly difficult for councils. \"Councils need powers and funding to address the widening gap between incomes and rents, resume their historic role as a major builder of new affordable homes and join up all local services - such as health, justice and skills. \"This is the only way to deliver our ambition to end homelessness.\" Have you been affected by issues covered in this story?

It was set alight after it was hit by lightning, causing £2.25m ($3m) in damage. \"We went in and there were piles of charred timbers on the floor,\" he recalls. \"There was black ash and soot and the whole building smelt of smoke. There was a sort of gloom in the place.\" But he says the team was confident it could be repaired and he feels equally optimistic about Notre-Dame. \"There was no fear about putting it back and I imagine that's the same in this case\" he says. \"It's quite achievable to see it [restored] and it's an opportunity to show that this work can still be done,\" he says. Mr David says the restoration team must first remove the Notre-Dame's burnt scaffolding. There were extensive renovation works taking place at the time of the fire and a huge scaffold was covering much of its exterior. \"The scaffolding will be in the way and will have to be delicately taken down because it's suffered with the heat,\" he says. He explains that a protective cover will then need to be placed over the cathedral to shield it from the wind and rain. Any fallen timber and other debris inside the cathedral will need to be cleared out, Mr David says. But this debris won't just be removed and forgotten about. \"Early phases of the work will include the archaeological recording of surviving fragments of timber, stone and artworks,\" says Dr Kate Giles, from the University of York's department of archaeology. \"This will enable the Notre-Dame team to salvage what can be reused and provide crucial evidence for the design of new fabrics in the building,\" she says. Surveying the damage Once the cathedral is cleared, experts say a thorough survey will need to be carried out to establish the extent of the damage and to ensure it is safe to re-enter. \"Safety will be the prime concern,\" says Dr Amira Elnokaly, a lecturer in archaeology at the University of Lincoln. \"There should be critical inspections to avoid any risks of further collapses or falling debris.\" The survey will then turn to the stonework at the top of the cathedral near the roof. \"The upper stone work, the vaulting and the top windows, will have been baked and the temperature will have spoiled and weakened the stone,\" says Paul Binski, a history of medieval art professor at the University of Cambridge. \"The first thing they're going to do is a massive survey of the stone,\" he says. \"They're going to have to scaffold the whole building and look very closely at its condition.\" This is because the stone ceiling will have taken the brunt of the impact when the timber roof above collapsed, experts suggest. \"The 19th Century spire, the 19th Century roofing, what will have happened is that these will have crashed down on to the stone vault underneath, the rib vault, which rises to 108ft (33m),\" Prof Binski says. \"The vaulting system will have shielded what's in the church from the inferno above,\" he adds. \"Of course, it will likely have come down in parts, but it will have done a major protective job.\" Indeed, images appear to show that the pulpit, pews and altar have escaped the fire largely unscathed. If some of the stonework does need to be replaced then, Prof Binski says, the team will probably use traditional methods to do so. \"It's important to look at the original construction methods and try to emulate them.\" he explains. \"This involves building an awful lot of wood scaffolding inside the church because [stone vaulting] is built around a kind of wooden structure - like a mould. \"They're not built with cement but with something that's rather like putty.\" Prof Binski says that if a large amount of the stone vaulting needs to be replaced it could be \"the biggest vaulting operation of this type undertaken since the Middle Ages\". \"The question is how long this is going to take and my guess is 5-10 years minimum to get the whole thing re-vaulted,\" he says. This estimate highlights the challenges facing the restoration team if they are to meet President Emmanuel Macron's suggested timescale. The French leader wants Notre-Dame rebuilt by the time Paris hosts the Summer Olympics in 2024. But Mr David says this is a feasible goal. \"I don't think it will take 10 years,\" he says. \"It might take two years to decide what to do, but [five years] is quite achievable.\" Photos from inside the cathedral appear to show that at least one of its famed rose windows has survived, although there are concerns for some of the other stained-glass windows. So how will the experts protect and restore these? \"They will do an initial survey when they establish what the highest priorities are in terms of historical and artistic significance,\" says Sarah Brown, an expert in stained glass windows. \"I suspect all of the windows will require some attention because a fire of that size will generate so much smoke and soot,\" she says. \"Even if the windows are in relatively good order they're certainly going to require cleaning. \"The biggest problem will be the heating up and then the rapid cooling down of the glass as it's been struck by water from the cannons,\" Ms Brown explains. \"This will bring about thermal shock that will cause micro-fractures in the glass which will be really difficult to stabilise.\" She continues: \"They will need to re-lead these windows because the lead that keeps it all together will no longer hold good, but you cannot even attempt that until you've stabilised the heat-induced micro-fractures in the glass. There are modern adhesives that can do that, however.\" And what if one of the cathedral's windows has been completely destroyed? \"The big question then is how they go about re-glazing the building,\" Ms Brown says. \"You can't leave it with nothing in the window,\" she says. \"Some might call for a new stained glass window but it's too early to say what should be done. Windows can be remarkably resilient, so let's hope that's been the case here.\"",

            "input": "An NHS Health Scotland report said much of this could be attributed to the economy crashing and the scrapping of multi-buy deals. There were also a third fewer alcohol-related deaths last year than a decade ago, and a 25% drop in alcohol related hospital admissions since 2007/08. However, alcohol sales remain 17% higher than in England and Wales. This was said to mainly be due to higher sales through supermarkets and off-licences in Scotland, particularly of lower-priced spirits. Since their peak in 2009, alcohol sales have declined by 9% - equivalent to about nine million fewer bottles of wine, three million fewer bottles of spirits or 38 million fewer pints of beer per year. Multi-buy promotions Although alcohol-related deaths have fallen by 35% since 2003, the report said they remained 1.4 times higher than 1981 and hospital admissions were 1.4 times higher than 1991/92. The report also showed that the proportion of alcohol sold at below 50p per unit (ppu) in Scotland's off-sales - the initial price proposed for minimum pricing - was declining. Clare Beeston, principal public health adviser at NHS Health Scotland, said: \"Alcohol sales are falling in both Scotland and England and Wales, and it is likely that declining affordability of alcohol, due to the economic downturn across the whole of Great Britain in recent years, is responsible for some of these improvements. \"However, the ban on multi-buy promotions for alcohol and the increased number of people accessing specialist services are also likely to be contributing to the improvements seen in Scotland.\" Minimum pricing Health Secretary Shona Robison said: \"The Scottish government is committed to tackling Scotland's difficult relationship with alcohol, so it is encouraging to see a downward trend in alcohol-related harm, and for this trend to be particularly evident in our most deprived communities. \"However, the fact remains that on average almost 700 people per week are admitted to hospital in Scotland due to alcohol, which is why we are absolutely committed to introducing minimum unit pricing. \"This is about targeting the cheap high-strength alcohol that causes so much harm within our communities, often in the most deprived areas of Scotland.\" She added: \"Given the link between consumption and harm, and evidence that affordability is one of the drivers of increased consumption, addressing price is an important element of any long-term strategy to tackle alcohol misuse.\"",

            "input": "The \"March for Freedom\" in the centre of the capital comes amid growing anger over alleged poll-rigging and police violence at subsequent protests. Meanwhile, in an address to a smaller crowd of several thousand, Mr Lukashenko blasted opponents as \"rats\". He called on supporters to defend their country and independence. The rival rallies were taking place after Russia agreed to offer security assistance in the case of external military threats to Belarus. It emerged that Mr Lukashenko had twice spoken to President Vladimir Putin over the weekend. The long-time Belarus leader also voiced concerns over Nato military exercises taking place in neighbouring Poland and Lithuania and launched into a tirade against the Western military alliance. Nato - which sent four battle groups led by Britain, Canada, Germany and the US to the Baltic countries after Moscow's annexation of Crimea in Ukraine - rejected allegations of a build-up in the region. The unrest in Belarus erupted after Mr Lukashenko claimed a landslide victory in last Sunday's election, the result of which has been condemned amid widespread allegations of vote-rigging. The Central Election Commission says Mr Lukashenko, who has been in power since 1994, won 80.1% of the vote and the main opposition candidate Svetlana Tikhanovskaya 10.12%. But Ms Tikhanovskaya insists that where votes were properly counted, she won support ranging from 60% to 70%. How will Russia respond? Russian TV news bulletins have been making ominous parallels between Belarus 2020 and Ukraine 2014. Ukraine's pro-Western revolution led to Moscow sending in its special operations forces to annex Crimea and Russian military intervention in eastern Ukraine. Six years on, could Russia's military intervene in Belarus? On paper, at least, such a move would appear counter-productive. The opposition movement in Belarus is not anti-Russia/pro-Europe - it is anti-Lukashenko. If Russia were to send in troops to shore up the Belarusian leader, it risks alienating the Belarusian people and creating anti-Moscow sentiment. True, Moscow is determined to keep Belarus within what it sees as Russia's sphere of influence. The Kremlin's ultimate goal is deeper integration with its neighbour - a fully-fledged union state (with Vladimir Putin at the helm). It could still achieve this through political leverage. The Kremlin has a pathological fear of \"coloured revolution\" on its doorstep. But Minsk 2020 is not Kyiv 2014. Belarus is not choosing between East and West. The Belarusian people are outraged by the brutality of their security forces. So much so that even Mr Lukashenko's traditional base - including the state factory workers - are deserting him. What is happening in Minsk? Local media reports suggest that around 31,000 people took part in the pro-government rally, though the Ministry of Internal Affairs estimated that the number was closer to 65,000. Speaking to supporters, Mr Lukashenko said he did not like rallies and did not need anyone to defend him. He said it was not his fault that he had to ask for their help. Rejecting calls for a re-run of the presidential election he said Belarus would \"die as a state\" if that happened. \"You came here so that for the first time in a quarter-century you could defend your country, your independence, your wives, sisters and children,\" he said. He added that the opposition would \"crawl like rats out of a hole\" if they were not suppressed this time. \"This will be the beginning of your end - you will go down on your knees like in Ukraine and other countries and pray, God knows to whom.\" There were reports of state sector workers being forced to attend or face the threat of losing their jobs. For days, workers at state-run factories have staged walkouts and many have joined street marches against the president. As the president spoke, around 220,000 of anti-Lukashenko protesters gathered near the Stela Minsk Hero City World War Two memorial in central Minsk, according to news website Tut.by. They had answered a call for weekend rallies from Ms Tikhanovskaya. The opposition leader had gone into exile in Lithuania after she registered a complaint with electoral authorities and spent seven hours in detention. Maria Kolesnikova, a former member of Ms Tikhanovskaya's team, addressed the crowds. \"You are incredible, I love you\", she said, before appealing to officials, security officials and judges. \"Guys, this is the last chance. Take the side of the good and the people. We are in the majority. We are power.\" Supporters also turned out in other cities. The mayor of Brest was booed by protesters when he tried to speak to crowds. In Gomel, demonstrators removed the official flag of Belarus from the city's flagpole and replaced it with the red and white flag of the opposition. Belarusian footballer Ilya Shkurin announced he would not play for his country until President Lukashenko stepped down and then scored his first goal for Russian premier league team CSKA Moscow. What's happening politically? As the unrest continued, Mr Lukashenko sought help from Russian President Vladimir Putin. Mr Lukashenko said President Putin had promised to provide what he called comprehensive assistance in the event of external military threats to Belarus. The two leaders had a second conversation on Sunday, in which the Kremlin said they discussed \"the situation in Belarus, taking into consideration the pressure the republic was being put under from outside\". Mr Putin told Mr Lukashenko Russia was ready to assist Belarus \"in accordance with the collective military pact if necessary\". EU foreign ministers agreed on Friday to prepare new sanctions against Belarusian officials responsible for \"violence, repression and the falsification of election results\". The US has also condemned the election as \"not free and fair\". The prime ministers of three Baltic republics - Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia - later \"expressed deep concern at the violent crackdown... and the political repression of the opposition by the authorities\". Lithuania and Latvia have previously said they are prepared to mediate in Belarus, provided the authorities stopped violence against protesters and formed a national council with members of civil society. They warned that the alternative was sanctions. The leaders said the presidential election was \"neither free nor fair\" and called for a \"transparent\" vote \"with the participation of international observers\". More about the protests in Belarus Ms Tikhanovskaya left for Lithuania following the election after she publicly denounced the results. She had sent her children to Lithuania for safety before the vote. Some 6,700 people were arrested in the wake of the election, and many have spoken of torture at the hands of the security services.",

            "input": "Rosa is hoping for a miracle. She has barely seen any rain since October and has lost almost all of her crops. She and her husband, Gregorio, earn some cash from their field of six hectares. But crucially most of their crops are used to feed themselves and their two children. Now Rosa is desperate for some rain to salvage whatever they can grow before the winter arrives in April. Otherwise they don't know how they are going to eat. Their plight is typical of the critical situation facing thousands of small farmers in Paraguay as the country endures one of the worst droughts in its history. Several countries in the south of Latin America have been feeling the lack of rain. Experts say it is caused by La Nina, the meteorological phenomenon where falling sea temperatures cause unusual weather patterns. But Paraguay is the worst-affected country. Unlike neighbours Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay, its main income comes from agriculture and cattle farming, both severely damaged by the drought. The government estimates that up to 60% of the nation's crops could already have been lost. The private sector says that total damages could be at least $1.5bn (£950m). For a country with almost half the population in poverty, and ranked among the poorest in Latin America by the United Nations, such a figure is a huge blow. Grim prospects \"We definitely need some rain now, or we won't have anything to eat,\" says Rosa at her small farm about 100km (62 miles) from the capital, Asuncion. She takes us to see her crops, or what is left of them. We are shown a shadow of what normally is a thick cornfield. But because of the drought most of the plants are yellow, their leaves rustling in the wind. It is a sad sight. Rosa rips apart one of the corn plants. She finds a small knob, its seeds affording no hope. Despite the grim prospects, Rosa tries to keep her spirits high. \"If we could just get some rain before April, when the winter begins, then we could still salvage something. Otherwise the season will end and we will have nothing,\" she says. The Paraguayan government estimates that there are about 250,000 small-scale farmers like Rosa Aquino and her husband who are at serious risk because of the drought. \"The medium and big farms have enough resources to cope with the situation, not so much the small farmers who are the priority for this government,\" says Edgar Mayeregger, director of the ministry of agriculture's risk department. Its figures show the agricultural sector grew by 50% in 2010, mainly due to the soaring demand for soy beans from markets like China and India. But, with the lack of rain, soy production is expected to fall by nearly a half. \"This is terrible news for our country as it will stop the growth we have had in recent years. Initial estimates are already indicating that the 4.8% growth expected from the economy in 2012 will be halved,\" says Mr Mayeregger. Farm animals are also at risk, in particular cattle. Paraguay is one of the top 10 beef exporters in the world. But the drought is hitting a sector already suffering losses from a foot-and-mouth outbreak last year that caused a drop of 16.5% in exports in 2011. The consequences of the drought in agriculture and cattle farming can be devastating, as both sectors represent about half of the country's economy. High costs Paraguay is still not in recession, although the longer the drought lasts the quicker the country could slip into the red. But the consequences of the lack of rain can already be felt. \"When there is a drought, things immediately get more expensive in the market,\" says Rosa. The government declared a food security emergency last month, in an attempt to guarantee that those most affected in rural areas would be able to feed their families. In the urban areas of Paraguay, like the capital Asuncion, locals say that the cost of living has been rising as the losses in agriculture have gown. \"This may not be the worst drought ever seen, but it could bring the worst ever damage to our economy,\" says Mr Mayeregger. \"The nation's income is at risk and that is very worrying.\" While in recent days there have been some scattered showers in Paraguay, experts believe it has not been enough to improve the situation. In the summer season - between November and March - the average monthly rainfall is more than 150mm. But this summer it has been barely 10% of this figure. Also, temperatures this time of the year can be more than 40C during the day and the few drops that fall on the ground quickly evaporate. \"Sadly, nobody controls the rain,\" says Rosa. As she keeps watching the sky, blocking the powerful light of the sun with her hand, she adds: \"All we can do is wait.\"",

Chief among them is Ian Coulter, former managing partner of law firm, Tughans. Unknown to the firm, he diverted funds to an Isle of Man bank account to facilitate payments to the deal fixers. 'Letter' The committee is examining claims, made in the Dáil (Irish Parliament) that £7m had been \"reportedly earmarked\" for a Northern Ireland politician. The allegations were made by Independent Dáil member, Mick Wallace, on 2 July. In a statement, Finance Committee chair Daithí McKay said: \"We have already started contacting all of those involved in this transaction to come before the committee. \"That includes NAMA officials, Mick Wallace, Tughans as well as others who may have information on the transactions.\" But Irish state broadcaster RTÉ has reported that Mr Wallace is unlikely to accept requests to appear before either the Stormont committee, or before a similar investigation being carried out by the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) in the Republic of Ireland. RTÉ News said it had seen a letter in which Mr Wallace allegedly told the clerk of the PAC committee that his appearance would not serve any purpose. 'Cloud' The Republic of Ireland's state-controlled National Asset Management Agency (Nama) sold its entire 850-property loan portfolio in Northern Ireland to the New York investment firm Cerberus for more than £1bn. The sale, completed in April 2014, was the biggest ever property deal in Northern Ireland. During a public session of the Stormont committee on Tuesday morning, the DUP's Paul Girvan said: \"There's enough of a cloud hanging over this place and now to have implications that there's a politician involved in what was a dirty scheme... it's vitally important we move as quickly as possible.\" Politicians The committee said if witnesses choose not to appear it can compel them to attend. Those it wants to hear from include Nama Northern Ireland advisors Frank Cushnahan and Brian Rowntree. But Dominic Bradley of the SDLP said some politicians should also appear and be questioned. \"I think it would be remiss of us to call legal personnel and business people and not call politicians,\" he said. \"There is evidence politicians met with PIMCO and they should be witnesses during our investigations.\" Mr Coulter has stayed quiet to the media, others, including all the firms involved, have issued statements denying doing anything improper.

            "input": "By Sebastian Chrispin Business analyst The FRC - a body that devises and enforces financial reporting rules - said that remuneration should be aligned with a firm's long-term health. The rule could mean executives' bonuses get deferred for longer periods before being paid. It could also drive a shift towards non-cash bonuses, such as shares. The FRC guidelines - known as the UK Corporate Governance Code - are enforced by a \"comply or explain\" policy - which means companies either follow them or explain how else they are acting to promote good governance. \"Boards of listed companies will need to ensure that executive remuneration is aligned to the long-term success of the company and demonstrate this more clearly to shareholders,\" the FRC said in its updated code published on Wednesday. \"Executive directors' remuneration should be designed to promote the long-term success of the company. Performance-related elements should be transparent, stretching and rigorously applied,\" the FRC said. The previous version of the code said that companies should \"attract, retain and motivate\" directors, without paying them excessively. This wording is not included in the latest version. The FRC's decision to move away from that language is designed to encourage company leaders to adopt longer term strategies, rather than seek short term profits. Clawback? The FRC also called for companies to introduce provisions allowing them to recover or withhold variable pay in certain circumstances. The FRC doesn't specify what these provisions or circumstances could be. They might include the ability to withhold bonuses over longer periods or perhaps demand that previously paid bonuses can be recovered. This follows similar moves by other authorities. In July, the Bank of England announced tougher rules on bankers' bonuses. The central bank houses one of the UK's bank supervisors, the Prudential Regulation Authority. This year, it proposed allowing banks to recover bonuses up to seven years after they had been paid. Today's announcement from the FRC doesn't go as far as the Bank of England. That's partly because the FRC's Corporate Governance Code has to cater for a larger number of companies, across an array of industries. The code applies to all premium-listed companies - the 916 firms that are subject to more onerous rules - although parts of the Code don't apply to smaller firms. Several other companies also voluntarily sign up to the corporate governance framework. Shareholder engagement The FRC revises the code every two years. The 2014 version applies to accounting periods beginning after 1 October 2014. Under the new code, companies are also encouraged to improve the way they engage with shareholders. The FRC's chief executive, Stephen Haddrill, said, \"\"The changes to the Code are designed to strengthen the focus of companies and investors on the longer term and the sustainability of value creation.\"",

The two girls and their mother had left their home in Lorraine, north-eastern France, after the German invasion in May 1940 and started travelling towards the \"free zone\" in the south of the country. To reduce the risk of the whole family being caught, it had been decided that the father, Aron, and oldest daughter, Annie, would make the journey separately. But when Aron and Annie were arrested in 1941 and taken to a detention camp near Tours, Hélène's mother rented a house nearby. And they were still there a year later, when the German soldiers came driving up the road.

She wanted to go back to my mother. I could hear the Germans. I let her hand go and she ran back.\" Isolated in the woods, Hélène hid until she felt the coast was clear. Then she crept back to the house and found some money her mother had left on the table. \"She knew I would come back,\" she says. Hélène went to stay with a friend she'd made in the area. She never saw her mother or younger sister again. Hélène's older sister, Annie, had her own narrow escape. After a year at the camp near Tours, she succeeded in escaping through some fencing and running away. Aged 16, Annie succeeded this time in making the journey alone to her aunt's home in the southern city of Toulouse, but even there she wasn't safe. While her aunt's family were not officially registered as Jews and could pretend to be Catholics, this wasn't an option open to Annie. One day in the autumn of 1942, the police rang at the door \"They ordered, 'Show your family book and all your children, we want to check!'\" she says. \"The luck of my life is that my cousin, Ida, had gone to buy bread - that's why sometimes I believe in miracles. So my aunt said this is Estelle, Henri, Hélène and, pointing at me, Ida.\" Find out more Not long after Annie's arrival in Toulouse, her aunt received a letter from Hélène, from her hiding place near Tours. She then made arrangements for her to be rescued. So one night a young woman from the French Resistance, the Maquis, knocked at the door of the house where Hélène was staying. \"She said that she came to find me, to cross the demarcation line,\" Hélène remembers. To show that she could be trusted, the visitor pulled out a photograph of Hélène that her aunt had provided. It was a difficult journey. The young woman had false papers in which she and Hélène were described as students, even though Hélène was so young. They were stopped and questioned several times. The \"free zone\" in the south of France did not live up to its name. The government of Marshal Philippe Pétain, based in Vichy, passed anti-Jewish laws, allowed Jews rounded up in Baden and Alsace Lorraine to be interned on its territory, and seized Jewish assets. On 23 August 1942 the archbishop of Toulouse, Jules-Geraud Saliège, wrote a letter to his clergymen, asking them to recite a letter to their congregations. \"In our diocese, moving scenes have occurred,\" it went. \"Children, women, men, fathers and mothers are treated like a lowly herd. Members of a single family are separated from each other and carted away to an unknown destination. The Jews are men, the Jewesses are women. They are part of the human race; they are our brothers like so many others. A Christian cannot forget this.\" He protested to the Vichy authorities about their Jewish policy, while most of the French Catholic hierarchy remained silent. Out of 100 French bishops, he was one of only six who spoke out against the Nazi regime. Saliège's message struck a chord with Sister Denise Bergon, the young mother superior of the Convent of Notre Dame de Massip in Capdenac, 150km (93 miles) north-east of Toulouse. \"This call deeply moved us, and such emotion grabbed our hearts. A favourable response to this letter was a testament to the strength of our religion, above all parties, all races,\" she wrote after the war in 1946. \"It was also an act of patriotism, as by defending the oppressed we were defying the persecutors.\" The convent ran a boarding school and Sister Denise knew it would be possible to hide Jewish children among her Catholic pupils. But she worried about endangering her fellow nuns, and about the dishonesty that this would entail. Her own bishop supported Pétain so she wrote to Archbishop Saliège for advice. She records his response in her journal: \"Let's lie, let's lie, my daughter, as long as we are saving human lives.\" By the winter of 1942, Sister Denise Bergon was collecting Jewish children who had been hiding in the wooded valleys and gorges of the region around Capdenac, known as L'Aveyron. As round-ups of Jews intensified - carried out by German troops and, from 1943, by a fascist militia, the Milice - the number of Jewish children taking refuge in the convent would eventually swell to 83. Among them were Annie Beck, whose aunt realised she would be safer there than in Toulouse, shortly followed by Hélène, taken directly to the convent by her guide from the Resistance. Hélène finally felt safe, though was overwhelmed with emotion on her arrival. \"At the beginning, Madame Bergon took me into a room and she tried to make me feel as if my parents were here, and so she was like a mother really,\" she says. At the same time, the fate of her younger sister, Ida, weighed heavily on her. \"Every evening, we had to first do our homework. And then when we finished we could go out and play. I always thought if my sister had not let go of my hand, she would have been in the convent with me,\" she says. Another Jewish refugee from Alsace Lorraine was a boy called Albert Seifer, who was a few years younger than the sisters. \"Surrounded by big walls, we were like in a fortress,\" he says. \"We were very happy.\" We did not really feel the war despite the fact that we were surrounded by danger.\" Parents and guardians would send their children with money, jewellery or other valuables in order to pay for the children's upkeep, before they did their best to escape from France. Sister Denise kept careful records. \"From the beginning of 1944, the round-ups of Jews were becoming tighter and numerous,\" she recalled in 1946. \"Requests come from all sides and we received around 15 little girls, some of whom have just escaped in a miraculous way from the pursuit of the Gestapo.\" She added: \"They had simply become our children, and we had committed ourselves to suffer everything so as to return them safely to their families.\" Other than Sister Denise, only the school's director, Marguerite Rocques, its chaplain and two other sisters knew the truth about the children's origins. The other 11 nuns were aware that a number of the children were refugees from Alsace-Lorraine, but did not know they were Jewish - and nor did the officials whom Sister Denise pressed for more and more ration books. The children's lack of familiarity with Catholic rituals threatened to expose them, but an explanation was found. \"We came from the east of France, a place with many industrial cities and a lot of workers who were communists,\" says Annie. \"So we posed as communist children who knew nothing of religion!\" The longer the war continued, the more dangerous the children's position became and Sister Denise began to worry about possible searches. \"Even though all compromising papers and the jewellery from the children's families had already been hidden in the most secret corners of the house, we did not feel safe,\" she wrote in her 1946 journal. \"So, late at night, when everyone was asleep in the house, we dug a hole for the hidden things in the convent's garden and we buried as deep as possible anything that could be compromising.\" In May 1944 a battle-hardened elite SS Division known as Das Reich arrived in the area from the Eastern front. About this time, Annie remembers that a member of the Resistance arrived with an alarming warning. \"One day the doorbell rang. Since the sister in charge of the door was a bit far, I opened it myself,\" she says. \"A young man was standing there. He said: 'Quick! I must speak to your director! It is very, very urgent!' \"The man told us that we had been denounced. News had spread that the convent was hiding Jewish children.\" Sister Denise hatched a plan with the Resistance, who agreed to fire warning shots if the enemy was approaching. \"The children would go to sleep, the older ones paired up with the younger ones and, at the first detonation heard in the night, in silence but in haste, they must get to the woods and leave the house to the invaders,\" she wrote in 1946. But soon she decided to hide the children without waiting for the invaders to arrive. One group, including Annie, was taken to the chapel. \"The chaplain was strong and could lift the benches. He opened a trap door. We slid down in there,\" she says. The tiny underground space was 2.5m long and less than 1.5m high. Seven children huddled together there for five days. They could not stand up or lie down to sleep during the long nights, and were only allowed out for short periods in the early hours of the morning, to exercise, eat, drink and go to the toilet. Air came through a small vent that opened on to the courtyard. \"After five days there it was no longer possible to endure,\" Annie says. \"Imagine if the nuns had been arrested,\" she adds. Those days hidden underground marked Annie for life - she has slept with a night-light ever since. Hélène was fortunate enough to be housed instead with a local family. Though they didn't enter the convent, the SS did leave a trail of destruction right on the convent's doorstep. \"We found some maquisards [members of the Maquis] who had been killed and tossed on the road. The Germans set an example so that others did not resist,\" Annie says. Sister Denise wanted to pay her respects to the dead and asked Annie to help her place flowers on each of the dead bodies. In June 1944, Das Reich was ordered north to join the effort to repel the Allied landings in Normandy. On the way it took part in two massacres designed to punish locals for Maquis activity in the area. Then, on arrival in Normandy, it was encircled by the US 2nd Armoured Division and crushed, losing 5,000 men and more than 200 tanks and other combat vehicles. After southern France was liberated, in August 1944, the Jewish children slowly left the convent. Albert Seifer was reunited with his family, including his father, who returned alive from Auschwitz. Annie and Hélène weren't so fortunate. Although their aunt survived, their parents and younger sister, Ida, were murdered in Auschwitz. Annie settled in Toulouse, married, had children and recently became a great-grandmother. She still regularly meets Albert, now 90. Hélène married and had a son, settling in Richmond, west London. Aged 94 and 90, the sisters travel between London and Toulouse to see each other as often as they can. They refer to Sister Denise as \"notre dame de la guerre\" - our lady of the war. They were sad to say goodbye to her, and regularly visited her for the rest of her life. When Annie's children were young she often took them with her, in order to keep this period of history alive for them - a constant reminder of what the Jewish people endured. Sister Denise remained at the convent and continued working until her death in 2006 at the age of 94. Later in life she helped disadvantaged children, and then immigrants from North Africa. In 1980, she was honoured by the Holocaust Memorial Center, Yad Vashem, as Righteous Among the Nations. A street is named after her in Capdenac, but apart from that the only memorial is in the grounds of the convent. It says: \"This cedar tree was planted on 5 April 1992 in memory of the saving of 83 Jewish children (from December 1942 to July 1944) by Denise Bergon… at the request of Monsignor Jules-Geraud Saliège, archbishop of Toulouse.\" It stands close to the spot where Sister Denise buried the jewellery, money and valuable items parents left behind - and which she gave back, untouched, after the war to help the families start again.

            "input": "By Branwen JeffreysHealth correspondent, BBC News The health service is setting up four investigations following allegations of abuse by Savile but it could be up to a year before they publish their reports. This includes an internal inquiry at the Department of Health. Critics say that the process must be as transparent as possible so that \"the public itself\" can judge. Abuse allegations The entertainer was given extensive access over decades to three NHS hospitals; Stoke Mandeville, Leeds General Infirmary and the high security psychiatric hospital Broadmoor. Each hospital is to carry out its own investigation, with a further internal inquiry at the Department of Health into how Savile was appointed to a taskforce at Broadmoor. Overseeing the work of all four of these inquiries will be Kate Lampard, a former barrister who is also vice chairman of an NHS regional authority in the south of England. Two months after the allegations of abuse against Savile were first broadcast it is still not clear what the detailed remit of each inquiry will be, what efforts will be made to contact former staff and patients and when or how the results of the inquiries will be made public. Steven George, a former patient at Broadmoor, is among those who want answers. Since he was at the hospital he has undergone a sex change, but says as Alison Pink he was sexually assaulted by Jimmy Savile. While the police are investigating all the criminal allegations, Mr George says he wants the NHS to answer other questions about the access given to Savile. He said: \"Who individually decided to give him the keys - why? What did they think he could do other than raise the profile of Broadmoor? Why was he given the amount of freedom to roam unescorted with the keys, once he got the keys?\" Questions to answer Buckinghamshire Healthcare Trust, which runs Stoke Mandeville, has said its inquiry panel will be headed by one of its own non-executive directors, Keith Gilchrist. That panel is due to meet and decide its terms of reference in the coming weeks. Broadmoor hospital is expected to make a similar announcement later this week. Leeds General Infirmary told the BBC: \"The structure and make-up of the panel to lead our internal investigation is currently being decided upon.\" The Department of Health said the trusts - in consultation with Kate Lampard - are taking preparatory action and will begin inquiries once they have agreement from the police and the local boards which oversee child protection. But National Voices - a coalition of 130 health and care charities - said the NHS needs to show greater urgency and transparency. Their chief executive Jeremy Taylor told the BBC: \"These appear to be entirely internal inquiries, we don't even know the names of the people, all of them who are going to conduct the inquiries, what the terms of reference are, how long they're going to take. \"And actually we want all that out in the public domain so that the public itself can be involved and judge. \"That's really important for accountability of the NHS to the public it serves. \" Peter Walsh, from Action against Medical Accidents, says this is particularly important as the NHS has not always been open about its mistakes. \"The public need and deserve to be reassured that things in our current NHS are safe.\" No health minister was been available to do interviews about the NHS Savile inquiries. Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt recently told MPs he had full confidence that Kate Lampard would thoroughly oversee all the investigations. A Department of Health spokesman said: \"These are appalling allegations, and alongside the three NHS trusts involved, we're determined to get to the bottom of them. That is why Kate Lampard has been appointed to oversee these investigations and as part of this work she will identify lessons for the whole NHS where they are found. \"All four organisations undertaking reviews are scoping the work required and setting out robust processes that protect the interests of patients. Terms of reference for the reviews and details of the process will be published shortly.\"",

This latest fall means that the average UK house now costs £159,486, which is 1.2% lower than at the same point a year ago. The Halifax said the recession was the main reason for the market's doldrums. \"Overall, there has been very little change in the average UK house price so far this year,\" said Martin Ellis, the Halifax's housing economist. \"There is, nonetheless, evidence of a slight deterioration in the trend recently with prices in the three months to September 0.5% lower than in the previous quarter. \"We expect house prices to be broadly unchanged over the rest of this year and into 2013,\" he added. Lending scheme The recent market survey by the Nationwide building society portrayed a very similar picture. It said prices were now £159,486 on average and were 1.2% lower than a year ago. A key feature of the UK property market has not just been the renewed recession, but the entrenched rationing of mortgage lending by banks. This has been in place since the onset of the credit crunch in 2008 and means that most buyers, especially first-timers, cannot obtain a mortgage unless they have a deposit of 20% to put down. The Bank of England recently launched a scheme, called Funding for Lending, aimed in part at easing the flow of mortgage funds to the public. But it will be some months before there is any evidence that this has worked. Mark Harris, of mortgage broker SPF Private Clients, said: \"It would be good to see some data as to exactly who is borrowing what under the scheme, as transparency is something the market lacks. \"However, one lender recently voiced its concern to me about the perceived stigma attached to taking advantage of the funds available, fearing it gives the wrong message to customers that it is in some sort of crisis,\" he added.

Minister Eluned Morgan said it was a \"proud day\" after the Welsh Government became the first UK administration to implement such a ban. However smokers' rights campaigners have accused the government of trying to \"micro-manage people's lives\". It is the first major set of curbs on smoking to be introduced since smoking in cars with children was banned in England and Wales in 2015. Smoking in enclosed public spaces was banned in Wales in 2007. The Welsh Government said it hoped the ban would help protect people's health by discouraging adults and children from starting smoking and supporting those who are trying to quit. In addition to fines, a speaker system which allows people to press a button and remind smokers they are breaking the law has been installed at the Grange Hospital in Cwmbran and the Royal Gwent Hospital in Newport. A similar system has previously been used at hospitals in the Hywel Dda and Cardiff and Vale health board areas. Enforcement officers employed by Aneurin Bevan health board will also patrol hospital grounds. Minister for Mental Health and Well-being Baroness Morgan said the Welsh Government was \"immensely proud\". \"We've seen the impact of the indoor smoking ban and we hope this will be similarly successful,\" she said. \"This legislation will benefit the health of future generations in Wales, as fewer children will be exposed to smoking and, we hope, fewer will take it up themselves. \"We need to do everything we can to combat the harmful effects of smoking.\" Suzanne Cass, of anti-smoking group Ash Wales, said: \"We are very proud that Wales is leading the way with this forward-thinking legislation. \"For too long smoking has been perceived as a normal lifestyle choice with smokers being able to light up in places where our children play, socialise and learn. \"There is nothing normal about smoking, however. It is an extremely harmful addiction that all too often begins in childhood. \"We hope that this legislation will make great strides in changing perceptions about this addiction and prevent children from becoming the next generation of adult smokers.\" But the industry-funded Freedom Organisation for the Right to Enjoy Smoking Tobacco (Forest) has labelled the law \"unnecessary and wrong\" and like \"taking a sledgehammer to crack a nut\". Director Simon Clark said there was no evidence to suggest the law would achieve what the Welsh Government wants it to. Banning smoking at hospitals was \"particularly unjust\", Mr Clark said, because it targets smokers who may be \"stressed and in need of a comforting cigarette\". He added: \"Most smokers use their common sense and don't smoke around small children. They don't need politicians telling them how to behave.\" About 33,000 people in Wales have stopped smoking since the coronavirus pandemic began, a survey by charity Action on Smoking and Health suggests.",

She beat cabinet member for housing, Frank Hont, in the Childwall ward. The now Lord Storey led the Lib Dems to power in the city in 1998 before it fell to Labour in 2010. Liverpool has been firmly red ever since. Mrs Storey said she was \"elated\" to join the council, adding that the city's residents were \"dissatisfied with the building on green spaces, want their pot holes filled... and are sick of living in an environment that is not being cleaned regularly\". Labour now has 76 of 90 seats in Liverpool, way ahead of the Lib Dems on seven. The Green Party had an encouraging night, though, and still has four councillors in the city. Across the Mersey, the Green Party kept their only seat in Wirral. Pat Cleary, who won in Birkenhead, promised to \"keep working hard for the people he represents\" and \"hold the Labour Party to account for the way they run this council\". It was a historic night for Labour in Southport, where the party made history by winning its first seats on Sefton Council. Council leader Ian Maher says the party's fight against austerity won them votes in the traditionally Lib Dem heartland. He said: \"When you lose 51% of your budget it is hard to deliver. It is really good to see that most people don't notice... that's a tribute to the staff and colleagues giving us the support that we need.\" In Halton, where some thought the new Mersey Gateway bridge tolls would have an impact, Labour held on to all of its seats. Council leader Rob Polhill said: \"Most of the people in Widnes and Runcorn travel free and the bridge has made a huge difference to their lives. It has brought in investment and has been very positive for us.\" Labour retained Knowsley but the Greens won their first seat on the council. Analysis By BBC Radio Merseyside political reporter Claire Hamilton Definitely no political earthquake here, rather some small tremors. Labour has kept control of all five councils in Merseyside. The results show that voters are happy to maintain the status quo where they live, with very few seats changing hands. Liverpool's Liberal Democrats have begun what they hope is the first step on the long road to regain their south Liverpool heartlands. They won three seats from Labour in suburban areas where green space protection has been a key issue. Labour in Southport will be celebrating the election of their first ever councillors in the town, which is traditionally Lib Dem territory. Their victory will certainly strengthen Labour's determination to win the town back from the Tories at the next general election. In St Helens, there was a win in Rainhill for an independent candidate who had stood against the council's local plan. No seats changed hands in Halton. But an independent candidate who campaigned against the Mersey Gateway bridge tolls came close to beating Labour in Hale. Nothing changed in Wirral, with both the Tories and Labour breathing a sigh of relief at not conceding any seats to the other side. Knowsley was held by Labour.",

A recent survey by the British Geological Survey said there may be 1,300 trillion cubic feet of shale gas in the Bowland Basin, which stretches under Cheshire, Lancashire, Greater Manchester, Merseyside and Yorkshire. The government announced shale gas drilling areas will get £100,000 in \"community benefits\" and 1% of revenues last month. Fracking, or hydraulic fracturing, involves the injection of highly pressurised fluids into shale to extract gas.

            "input": "By Kevin PeacheyPersonal finance reporter HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) failed to gain explicit consent from individuals before signing them up to the voice ID system for telephone enquiries. Campaigners accused HMRC of creating \"biometric ID cards by the back door\". The Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) said there had been a \"significant\" breach of data laws. \"Innovative digital services help make our lives easier but it must not be at the expense of people's fundamental right to privacy,\" said Steve Wood, deputy commissioner at the ICO. Now the BBC has learned that the tax authority's system will continue despite the deletions. Sir Jon Thompson, HMRC chief executive, said: \"I am satisfied that HMRC should continue to use voice ID.\" \"It is popular with our customers, is a more secure way of protecting customer data, and enables us to get callers through to an adviser faster,\" he said in a letter to HMRC's data protection officer. How does the system work? In a bid to speed up the much-criticised HMRC helpline, people were invited to use the voice recognition system, rather than the normal security checks. The scheme, launched in 2017, asks callers to repeat the phrase \"my voice is my password\" to register. Once this task is complete, they can use the phrase to confirm their identity when managing their taxes. HMRC passes the voice through an algorithm to instantly confirm their ID. Similar projects have been launched by banks and other providers, although they have not always been entirely successful, as this BBC investigation found. What went wrong? Privacy campaigner Big Brother Watch complained about the audio signatures system, claiming users were \"railroaded\" into using it as they were not given the choice to opt out. The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which came into force across the European Union in May last year, requires organisations to obtain explicit consent before they use biometric data to identify someone, including voice recordings. HMRC has been told by the UK's Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) that it was not adhering to the data protection rules. In effect, it had automatically pushed people into the system without explicit consent. The commissioner is issuing the first enforcement notice of its kind to HMRC, under GDPR rules, to ensure the data is deleted. As a result, no fine will be levied. What happens now? The tax authority changed the way it sought permission for voice ID in October. Some 1.5 million people have called HMRC since then, and said they wanted to continue using the service. Their records have been retained. But HMRC has started to delete the voice records of the remaining five million who enrolled into the system before October and who have not called or used the service since. It said the records would be deleted \"well before\" the Information Commissioner's deadline of 5 June. Silkie Carlo, director of Big Brother Watch, said: \"This is a massive success for Big Brother Watch, restoring data rights for millions of ordinary people around the country. \"To our knowledge, this is the biggest ever deletion of biometric IDs from a state-held database. This sets a vital precedent for biometrics collection and the database state, showing that campaigners and the ICO have real teeth and no government department is above the law.\" Mr Wood, deputy commissioner at the ICO, said: \"We welcome HMRC's prompt action to begin deleting personal data that it obtained unlawfully. Our investigation exposed a significant breach of data protection law. HMRC appears to have given little or no consideration to it with regard to its voice ID service.\"",

But the diplomatic ramifications too have been considerable. It, not the United States, is the \"go to\" player. Russia is marshalling a loose alliance of Iran and Turkey to try to plot Syria's future. Even the Saudis have had to beat a path to Moscow's door. Russia drew its own lessons from a series of Western military interventions over the past two decades. It watched with alarm as the US and its allies hailed the upheavals of the Arab Spring as the dawn of a new era of democracy in the Middle East. Russia's conclusions were more pragmatic and more pessimistic. And it subsequently applied those lessons in Syria. Russia did not see the popular rebellion there as the positive harbinger of a new democratic order. Rather it was seen as part of a wider tide of instability rising across the region that threatened to lap over Russia's own borders. Crucially, it made a pragmatic assessment of the situation. It chose to stick with its long-time ally, Mr Assad. It defined its strategic goals quite narrowly and, crucially, it deployed sufficient military force to carry them out. In short, it saw an opportunity and acted. Russian air power, special forces and equipment gave a military backbone to President Assad's crumbling forces, with Iran's allies like Hezbollah and various other Shia militias providing badly needed foot soldiers. Together they allowed President Assad to defeat both rebel forces and so-called Islamic State across a significant part of the country. Syrian government forces and their allies have taken back all of Syria's major population centres. The opposition is not totally destroyed but it is largely demoralised. As Prof Joshua Landis, a Syrian expert at the University of Oklahoma, told me: \"There remain a number of militias that have not given up and continue to win foreign backing, but they are almost uniquely arranged along the border with Turkey. \"They will continue to give Assad a hard time, until he crushes them or comes to terms with Turkey about their disposition. \"Otherwise,\" he argues, \"the opposition has been largely dismantled. It is possible that secret cells will try to carry on with strikes on government buildings and explosions in crowded markets, but the Assad government demonstrated considerable skill and ruthlessness in rolling up such terror organisations before the uprising broke out.\" Russia has achieved this \"victory\" - if you want to call it that - by the simple exercise of realpolitik with little concern about what its many critics would call the morality of its actions. Russia sided with a regime that many people believe was not just turning its guns on its own people but was carrying out war crimes. It has shielded the Syrian government from pressure over strongly based allegations that it has used banned sarin gas and other chemical weapons. The Russian air campaign obeyed its own rules and typically used large numbers of \"dumb\" or unguided bombs and missiles. The US and its allies have tended to use largely precision-guided weapons in their operations over Iraq and Syria. (These, of course, still kill innocent civilians, often far more than the military spokesmen are prepared to admit.) But the fact remains that Western air power, mindful, not least, of public opinion at home, does go to great lengths to minimise civilian casualties as far as possible. Russia's leaders have no such constraints. And to the extent that Russian domestic opinion is a factor, Mr Putin has achieved success in Syria with relatively few Russian casualties and with a relatively limited military deployment. So is it all over for the Syrian opposition? Prof Landis says that \"it will be very hard for those that live in exile to maintain a serious military option in the future so long as Syria's neighbours are unwilling to sponsor them and provide them safe havens as they were in the past. \"Of course,\" he notes, \"millions of Syrian opposition members now living as refugees or outside the country revile Putin and Russia and continue to look to Western governments to destroy the Syrian regime and return them to their country. \"Like the White Russians of 100 years ago, (the exiled conservative opponents of the Bolshevik Revolution) they are likely to be disappointed.\" Russia has secured a military victory but can it win the \"peace\"? Well it emerges from this crisis with its diplomatic hand strengthened. In many ways it outplayed the Obama administration - Washington's efforts to build and arm a coherent Syrian opposition collapsed a number of times - and it has run rings round President Trump's team. Some of Washington's allies like Turkey, who had long called for President Assad's removal, ultimately decided that they needed to secure their own strategic interests. For Ankara this is the prevention of the emergence of any autonomous Kurdish entity and thus they have thrown in their lot with Moscow and Tehran. The Trump administration is yet to elaborate a coherent policy towards Syria or indeed for its broader goal of containing Iran's rising regional influence. It has few levers to pull. The only successful element of US strategy has been its support for and arming of Kurdish fighters. If the US maintains its support for the Kurds then Joshua Landis says Washington \"will be able to beggar the Syrian government and maintain leverage in the region. The US has helped the Kurds take control of most of Syria's oil and gas fields. This means that Syria will have a much harder time rebuilding. \"The US effort to keep Damascus weak and poor\", he says, \"will also limit the victory of both Russia and Iran in the region. But strategically, by choosing to side with the Kurds, Washington will continue to alienate Turkey, Syria and Iraq.\" But Mr Trump's stance towards the Kurds seems clouded in uncertainty with reports emerging that he has assured the Turks that arms supplies to Kurdish fighters will now be halted in the wake of IS's defeat. As so often with this presidency the news seems to have caught other members of the administration off balance. Such a stance may help to pacify Ankara but it will be seen as a betrayal by the Kurds and may weaken them if the Syrian government decides to go onto the offensive. Russia too may face diplomatic problems ahead. Moscow, Damascus, Ankara and Tehran may be united for now, but their medium-term strategic goals may differ. Russia is under pressure from the Israelis to curb Iran's influence in Syria. Israel may not be able to bring much diplomatic pressure to bear on Moscow but it clearly has the military power to seek to influence developments in Syria if it feels threatened. And will Turkey, Russia and Iran continue to see eye-to-eye ? Russia's real plans for Syria's future are unclear. It has assiduously worked with some opposition groups to bring them into local ceasefire arrangements. But this is essentially short-term. Will these hold? Will the Syrian regime have the manpower to maintain its control over the areas it has recaptured? Will the Shia militias and Hezbollah remain in the country? And whose interests will they be serving, Syria's or Iran's? Russia's \"victory\" - if you want to call it that - is far from complete. If Moscow really has a plan for Syria, few details have been provided so far. Russia certainly has a whip hand over the developing peace process, but its goals remain opaque. Will President Assad himself remain a fixture or merely the regime that he represents? For now though, Mr Putin has many achievements that he can bank. Russia has been shown to be a reliable ally. Its military forces have shown their ability to mount a complex expeditionary operation. Syria has provided a \"shop-window\" for many of Russia's most modern weapons systems. Russia is again a significant diplomatic player in the Middle East in a way that it has not been since the early 1970s. Indeed then it was probably already a waning force. Today it is a rising one facing a US diplomatic effort that is largely incoherent. Russia is back on the world stage. And if you set aside the misery and suffering in Syria to which all of the external actors have contributed, that ranks as an achievement in Mr Putin's playbook.",

Or will it? A report by Bloomberg says Ford is going to skip a step and go straight to fully autonomous driving. The article says that is because engineers who are testing the company's self-driving vehicles are falling asleep at the wheel because there is so little for them to do. Ford tells me that only part of this story is true: \"Reports that Ford engineers were falling asleep while testing autonomous vehicles are inaccurate.\" But it goes on to say that \"high levels of automation without full autonomy capability could provide a false sense of security\". That means it is difficult for the driver to suddenly take control if there is a situation where the technology is not up to it. And that's why it is going to head straight to what is known as SAE level four - \"autonomous capability that will take the driver completely out of the driving process in defined areas\". SAE is a global organisation of automotive engineers that has come up with a definition of six levels of automation, from zero - where the driver is in full control - to five, where the car does everything in all circumstances. In January, at CES in Las Vegas, Ford's Ken Washington told me confidently that the company would have a fully autonomous car on the road by 2021: \"The vehicles we are going to put in our 2021 fully autonomous ride service will not have a steering wheel, they won't have a brake pedal,\" he explained. \"So this means there's no issue with drivers having to take over control because the vehicle will know how to handle all scenarios.\" Building up trust Most of the car industry seems to believe that the evolution of automation will be a more gradual affair, with drivers slowly learning to trust their cars to do ever more. But I can see why Ford sees a problem with a halfway house, where the driver only occasionally needs to take over. Last year, I drove a Tesla in Autopilot mode down an American freeway - and found it a nerve-wracking experience. My hands hovered over the steering wheel and my foot over the brake, ready to act if needed. As the technology improves, perhaps we will get more relaxed about taking our hands off the wheel, eating a sandwich or watching a video - but that could then make us less capable of responding quickly when we need to take over. That is why Ford wants to move swiftly to full autonomy - but is that practical? I caught up with a leading British figure in this field, Professor Paul Newman, whose Oxbotica firm is developing autonomous vehicles. He thought Ford was serious about that 2021 target but stressed that what it was promising was not a car that would drive itself anywhere but what he called \"mobility as a service\". The vehicles would be owned by the company and would operate as a sort of autonomous taxi: \"It would be a limited service on specific routes. Just like a bus can't go anywhere, you would only operate this where you were confident that it would work.\" Professor Newman believes that we will first see fully autonomous vehicles operating at quite slow speeds in cities rather than on motorways. \"The trick is then to have the machines learn through use and ever expand their domains.\" So we have two competing strategies. Most of the car industry is looking to build ever more autonomous capabilities into something that will still look like a traditional car, in the expectation that it will take until 2030 to reach the full autonomy of SAE level five. But both Ford and Google seem confident that building vehicles that won't look so familiar will get them to level four - full autonomy in defined areas. They hope that will change the way we think about road transport far more quickly. Let battle commence...",

Forbes magazine now lists him as the 18th richest man in Japan with a personal wealth of $2.9bn (£2.2bn). His company recently made headlines after it launched a bodysuit that customers can use to upload their exact body measurements to the clothes shopping site. He has splashed his cash at high-profile contemporary art auctions and paid $110.5m (£84m) last year for a large piece by Jean-Michel Basquiat - a record for the late US artist. At the time he said he planned to put it on display eventually at a museum in Chiba, his hometown. In 2016, he paid $57.3m for another Basquiat work - Devil's Head. He said in a statement he \"felt shivers\" when he first saw it. \"Regardless of its condition or sales value, I was driven by the responsibility to acknowledge great art and the need to pass on not only the artwork itself, but also the knowledge of the artist's culture and his way of life to future generations,\" he said. Now, the billionaire plans to use his trip around the Moon to inspire new \"masterpieces,\" created by the artists he chooses to accompany him. \"They will be asked to create something after they return to Earth. These masterpieces will inspire the dreamer within all of us,\" the future amateur astronaut told reporters. The art project called #dearMoon was presented in a video released shortly after he and Mr Musk announced the Moon flight.

An open letter from several feminist groups urged Facebook to ban pages that they said promoted violence. In a blog post, the social network said: \"We need to do better - and we will.\" The company said it would begin rolling out changes immediately after it became \"clear that our systems to identify and remove hate speech have failed to work as effectively as we would like\". Marne Levine, Facebook's vice president of Global Public Policy, added: \"In some cases, content is not being removed as quickly as we want. \"In other cases, content that should be removed has not been or has been evaluated using outdated criteria. \"We have been working over the past several months to improve our systems to respond to reports of violations, but the guidelines used by these systems have failed to capture all the content that violates our standards.\" 'Doing better' Facebook has been involved in a number of recent rows over content. At the beginning of May, it reversed a decision not to remove a video which showed a man being beheaded as it did not break the social network's policy. Following this most recent outcry, Ms Levine put forward several changes the social network would be making. She said Facebook would consult lawyers and interest groups to upgrade its guidelines on removing hate speech. Training of staff will be stepped up, again by working with interest groups to ensure coaching is appropriate. Facebook also pledged to work to make sure the posters of such material were made to \"stand behind the content they create\" so that other users could hold them accountable. Commenting on Ms Levine's blog post, many Facebook users expressed annoyance at the length of time it had taken for the issues to be addressed. \"It took incredible public pressure for you to look at it... you should have had the guts and morals to do it on your own!\", wrote one user. Nissan boycott Facebook's response comes off the back of a large-scale online campaign from a number of prominent women's rights groups. They included the Everyday Sexism Project, a site that uses social media to highlight what it sees as casual sexism in the media and other arenas. In addition to their letter to the social network, the groups also called on advertisers to boycott the site, noting that their advertising appeared alongside user-created pages showing images of violence towards women that were \"shared, boasted and joked about\". One petition calling for action closed with 225,049 signatures. The groups called on Facebook to take three specific actions.

Of 408 cases reported in the past year, 238 involved a suspect under 16. A senior teacher from a Sheffield school said sexting among teenagers was \"an epidemic\". Chris Beckett, assistant headteacher at Westfield School in the city, said teenagers sharing naked images of themselves had become commonplace. However, he said staff at the school were doing their best to educate young people and offer them support. 'Stop and think' Mr Beckett said: \"We need to educate, we need to let people know the dangers and the impacts of those things when these kinds of things happen. At the same time we need to support when these things do. \"They are young people, they learn by making mistakes.\" The UK's National Crime Agency (NCA) previously said sexting has become \"normal\" among teenagers. What is sexting? Police are now trying to tackle the problem by offering lessons in school about the issues surrounding it. Katie Rowland-Wilson, Acting Sgt for the Schools Offices and the Anti-Social Behaviour Team, said holding education sessions in schools was helping raise awareness. \"It makes them [the pupils] aware of the social picture, the moral issues and also the legislation, but I think it also helps them stop and think before they hit send on that image,\" she said. The NSPCC said nationally, more than 2,000 children were among those reported to police for indecent images offences over the past three years. A spokesperson said: \"We have long believed that in many cases, children who send a sext should not be criminalised, but rather educated about the dangers.\" The Director of Public Prosecutions, Alison Saunders, also said underage sexting between consenting children in a relationship should not be prosecuted, but cases which involved \"exploitation, grooming or bullying\" might lead to legal action. Ms Saunders told the BBC: \"If they are children, they are the same age, there's no suggestion or any coercion or bad motives, then we would not expect that case to be prosecuted. \"",

Most people responded with mirthful disbelief on social media. Entrepreneur Roman Grabezhov laid out long calculations to argue that it would take \"almost a billion mice\" to eat that much grain and a popular Facebook community Baba i Kit featured a mugshot of Mickey Mouse holding a sign and admitting to his guilt. But others said the situation was far from funny. Corruption in Ukraine is a massive problem which has been compounding the country's challenges in dealing with Russia's incursion into its territory since 2014 and the coronavirus pandemic. Second most corrupt in Europe In 2019, Ukraine ranked 126th out of 180 countries in Transparency International's Corruption Perceptions Index - making it the second most corrupt country in Europe after Russia. President Volodymyr Zelensky's administration came into power last year vowing to tackle the issue, but has not reached all its anti-corruption targets. A much-needed 5.5-billion-dollar loan from the International Monetary Fund, which is crucial to the country's economic recovery, has been dependent on such reforms. See also: State reserve is 'only 3% full' The shortage of grain was discovered during an audit of the State Reserve and a criminal case has been launched into it. The \"safety net of a country of 40 million people has been blatantly stolen and sold,\" Apostol said. \"Ukraine's state reserves are empty,\" the Zerkalo Nedeli website reported. Zerkalo Nedeli also pointed out that the former head of the State Reserve Agency, Yaroslav Pohorilyy, who had initiated and carried out spot checks in state companies that were part of the State Reserve, had been dismissed in May without clear grounds or any explanation. In an interview with the site, Pohorilyy said agency audits had shown \"blatant abuses, large losses... and [that] the state reserve itself is only 3 per cent full\".

            "input": "The wriggling inside the pillowcase signalled that something wasn't right. The evening before Valentine's Day, firefighters working at Farringdon Community Fire Station, a modern, two-storey building in Sunderland, were asked to deal with an unusual incident. The location was a bin around the back of their station, where Buzz Lightyear bedding hid 13 royal python snakes, each between two and four feet long. (Tyne and Wear Fire Service were approached for this story, but declined to participate.) The RSPCA was called and the officer who arrived at the scene took the cold and already lethargic animals home to warm them up. The following morning, 14 February, a local vet found that all were in good condition except one, which later died. It was at this point that RSPCA inspector Trevor Walker was called in. Though he works in nearby Newcastle, he's a Yorkshire lad and was due to visit family in the county that day. As the snakes needed to be moved to a specialist RSPCA holding centre in Yorkshire, he volunteered to carry them in the boot of his Volvo hatchback. \"We had 12 snake bags, each one containing one snake, laid in the boot where it was nice and warm,\" he says. \"I didn't mention it to the wife until we were halfway there. I don't think she'd have been happy if she'd known.\" Having safely deposited the snakes, Walker got on with family matters. But as he was looking at his iPad the next day, he received a fresh alert. Another set of snakes had been abandoned in exactly the same place. This time, one more royal python and 15 corn snakes, left in two taped and ziplocked pink pillowcases. \"Any normal decent person has a mix of horror and shock,\" says Alec Wood of North East Reptile Rescue, which regularly rehouses reptiles whose owners are unable to continue keeping their pets. \"It's an act of cruelty, and none of us like to see that happen to any animal. It paints the hobby in a bad light,\" he adds. \"A very bad light.\" The twin findings captured the imagination of local and national media. \"It's really unusual to see this kind of volume of snakes,\" says Walker. \"There'll always be the occasional snake that has escaped his vivarium, and you find him basking in the sun the following day.\" But this was different. \"For these kind of numbers, it must have been some kind of a trade, possibly some kind of pet shop,\" he adds. \"Though why would a pet shop abandon these snakes which are quite valuable to them and are a source of money?\" The RSPCA's inquiries are continuing, hampered by the fact that there wasn't any CCTV footage of the area. Peta, an animal rights campaign group, offered a £2,500 reward for any information leading to the arrest and conviction of whoever left the snakes. \"It takes a disturbing and dangerous lack of empathy to dump so many animals,\" said Peta director Elisa Allen. Though an estimated 400,000 snakes are kept as pets in homes across the UK, keeping pythons and corn snakes isn't cheap. The RSPCA recommends housing each in a separate vivarium, large enough for the animal to stretch out, with one end warmer and lighter than the other. The space must be well ventilated, but humidity levels must also be carefully controlled to resemble West Africa, in the case of the pythons, and dry American scrubland or forest in the case of the corn snakes. \"There's a lot of money that has to be tied up in looking after these kinds of snakes, which leads us away from the odd house that's got a vivarium with one snake in,\" says Walker. \"Very unusual.\" But specialist snake keepers can't think who the reptiles would have belonged to either. \"If somebody was trying to get rid of a collection that big, people would know about it, and there just isn't anything,\" says Alec Wood. \"If you talk to people in the reptile community around here, if you talk to people who run shops and everything, there hasn't been somebody looking to get rid of a large collection like that recently.\" He points out that some of the royal pythons were varieties with rare colours or patterns, known as \"morphs\". One was a spider morph - yellow with very fine black lines. \"They're fairly expensive, or have been in the past,\" Wood says. This suggests to him that it wasn't the owner who got rid of the snakes. Perhaps a tragedy occurred, he suggests - a sudden domestic break-up, an unexpected serious illness or a death, as a result of which a friend or relative was left with a large collection they had no idea how to look after or offload? \"If your circumstances changed incredibly suddenly, you might not have the time it takes to get rid of such a large collection through normal routes,\" he says. Chris Newman of the National Centre for Reptile Welfare (NCRW), based in Tonbridge, Kent, agrees that the sudden appearance of the snakes out of the blue is odd. Hobbyists are a tight-knit community, he says, so one of them should surely have known who the snakes belonged to. And there is another thing that doesn't add up, from his perspective: \"Typically, people who keep corn snakes keep corn snakes, and people who keep royal pythons keep royal pythons.\" For these reasons, he suspects foul play - a deliberate attempt to stain the reputation of the reptile community. \"Reptiles have always attracted lots of negative publicity from animal rights groups, and one can't help thinking that there's something behind this,\" he says. \"If your intention was to develop publicity, then dumping them would work.\" Asked who would want to do such a thing, Newman says he doesn't know. But Alec Wood says some are uneasy about the RSPCA's involvement in the case, because of its historical opposition to the keeping of all exotic pets. When the Animal Welfare Act, which governs how people can keep animals in the UK, was being drawn up in the early 2000s, there was a campaign to ban ownership of reptiles. It wasn't successful, but snake hobbyists haven't forgotten. \"It's very easy to become paranoid, but I do like to try and understand what's going on, how these things have happened and what's driving them,\" Newman says. An RSPCA press officer said there was a common misconception among reptile owners that the organisation was against the keeping of snakes, pointing out that the RSPCA published care information to help owners do their best for the animals. A statement continued: \"The RSPCA does have concerns about the trade and keeping of reptiles as pets, and meeting the needs of some species will be very difficult, if not impossible, in a typical household... There are some species, for example, which grow very large, such as reticulated pythons which can grow up to 30ft long in captivity; it would be very difficult for owners to provide an enclosure with sufficient space for these animals in a typical home environment.\" Peta still argues that snakes suffer in private ownership. \"Many are torn away from their natural homes and shipped hundreds or thousands of miles in appalling conditions, only to be shoved into a small tank and later dumped, as these animals were,\" the organisation says. It recently launched a campaign demanding legislation to ensure snakes are given space to stretch out fully. Commenting on the suggestion that an animal rights group could have dumped the 29 pythons and corn snakes, a Peta press officer said: \"Please know that at Peta we respect snakes and we protect snakes. To suggest otherwise is to slander us.\" In the meantime, the RSPCA investigation goes on. \"We've put out an appeal for anyone who noticed anything that happened over those two nights, particularly whether any vehicles were seen in the area,\" says Trevor Walker. There are \"a couple of leads\" the charity is following up, but which it isn't willing to disclose. So far, Walker says, the police have not been asked for help. \"As and when the investigation proceeds, if there's any time we need to get access into a building, a property, or a domesticated area, that's when we'll involve the police and ask for their assistance.\" You may also be interested in: A herd of hippopotamuses once owned by the late Colombian drug baron Pablo Escobar has been taking over the countryside near his former ranch - and no-one quite knows what to do with them.

            "input": "\"Many customers\" had put off booking holidays abroad, instead staying at home in June and July to enjoy the sunshine, the holiday firm said. The company said this had led to \"higher than usual levels of discounting\" in August and September. It now expects full-year earnings of £280m, below its earlier forecast of around £323m, which it made in July. In a separate statement, Thomas Cook also said it would replace its chief financial officer. The share price has halved in value since the start of the year. Thomas Cook usually makes all of its annual profits during the summer. But it also warned that the impact of the heatwave \"is continuing to be felt into winter trading\". \"A downgrade of this size in 2018 is going to have some impact on 2019,\" chief executive Peter Fankhauser told investors. Thomas Cook said a return in popularity of holidays to Turkey, Egypt, Tunisia and Greece meant that total group bookings for the summer period were 12% higher than the same period last year. However, average selling prices were 5% lower than last year. Mr Fankhauser admitted its trading performance was \"disappointing\", but said the firm had made \"good strategic progress which positions us well to driver further performance improvement\". The firm warned in July that annual earnings would be at the lower end of market expectations due to more people staying at home rather than booking last-minute holidays. Shore Capital analyst Greg Johnson said assuming a normal trading environment going forward he expected \"some of this year's shortfall to be recovered, although the winter is likely to be tougher\". He downgraded his rating on the shares from \"buy\" to \"hold\" \"until we get greater clarity over trading for Summer 2019\". Patricia Yates, the director of Visit Britain, told the BBC earlier this year that there was a growing trend towards more late bookings, with nearly 80% of all trips being booked within three months of the travel date. The hot weather in the UK therefore acts as a \"timely reminder\" to people who are \"making a late-call on where to go on holiday\", she said. In August, Thomas Cook's bigger rival Tui Group reiterated its full-year profit forecast, but said the heatwave meant it was unlikely to exceed its profit prediction. Meanwhile, Thomas Cook's chief financial officer Bill Scott will leave the company at the end of November, and be replaced on an interim basis by Sten Daugaard, a board member of the company's German business. A search for a permanent successor would start immediately, the company added.",

            "input": "By Lauren PottsBBC News, Yorkshire Thirty years on, witnesses clearly remember the devastation caused by a lightning bolt which set fire to York Minster's south transept - destroying its roof and causing £2.25m worth of damage. \"My immediate thought was disbelief,\" Mr Stow said, remembering the 3am phone call. \"Knowing the minster as I did and its security and fire defences, I thought, 'This can't be true'. \"Then I got onto Tadcaster Road and I could see the glow in the sky.\" The previous night had been a \"peculiar\", airless evening during a hot, dry summer, said Mr Stow. The fire crew in York spent part of it watching lightning zip across the sky. Just a few hours later, at 02:35 BST, the control room at Northallerton received word the minster was ablaze. By the time Mr Stow arrived at 03:10, a third of the roof had been obliterated. \"The burning timbers were exposed and the fire was progressing rapidly,\" he said. \"Bits of burning debris were leaping into the sky and the fire had almost spread through to the central tower.\" It became clear the roof was beyond saving and bringing it down was necessary to save the rest of the building. \"[We positioned] a water jet onto the burnt timbers and they went down like a row of dominoes,\" said Mr Stow. \"They thundered down. I wouldn't have believed that a stone floor could shake but my word, it did.\" Crews from across North Yorkshire were called to the scene, with 114 firefighters tackling the blaze. Meanwhile, minster staff and clergy were removing as many artefacts as possible from the building. John David, master mason at the minster, was one of those involved in the salvage operation. \"It was quite a traumatic night, it was surreal,\" he said. \"There was a fear the whole thing would go up, but we were busy getting the valuables out. \"The next day people were in tears and very upset, but as craftsmen, the first thing we thought was 'let's put it back, let's rebuild it'. \"There was no doubt we could do it. We wanted to put it back to the way it was.\" By 05:24, the fire was under control, and as morning broke, the true scale of the devastation became clear. An investigation into the cause of the fire ruled out an electrical or gas fault, while arson was discounted due to inaccessibility of the roof. Some churchgoers feared the fire was a sign from God in response to the consecration at the minster three days earlier of the Bishop of Durham, David Jenkins. He had made the news for saying he did not believe in the physical resurrection of Christ. But subsequent tests concluded the fire was \"almost certainly\" caused by lightning striking a metal electrical box inside the roof. However, with the evidence destroyed in the blaze, the official report could only conclude it was \"80% possible\" the fire was caused by lightning, and 10% each for arson and electrical fault. A restoration project to return the building to its former glory was finally completed in 1988, at a cost of £2.25m. The site's masonry team spent a year re-carving bosses and stonework above the rose window and arches, while half a dozen bosses were designed by children in a competition run by Blue Peter. It is thought the rose window, designed in the 16th Century to celebrate the marriage of King Henry VII and Elizabeth of York in 1486, reached temperatures of 450C (842F) during the fire. The glass cracked in about 40,000 places but was saved following painstaking work by York Glaziers Trust. Bob Littlewood, former superintendent of works at the minster, was instrumental in replacing the vaulted ceiling and roof, which were gutted in the blaze. The day after the fire he was offered 260 oak trees by people wanting to help rebuild the minster and tasked with convincing the church authorities to let him rebuild the roof with timber, in keeping with the original design. Wood was agreed upon as the preferred material but on condition that parts of the new structure would be coated with fire-retardant plaster. \"Everything was gone,\" Mr Littlewood said. \"We had to literally start from scratch. \"I didn't want anything modern and we all felt it should be done traditionally. Thankfully the Dean and Chapter agreed and I had the staff who were capable of doing the work.\" Four years after the fire destroyed the south transept, the restoration was completed. It was a year ahead of schedule and thanks to the generosity of public donations, coupled with insurance money. Mr Littlewood said: \"Everyone buckled down and helped. It was a tremendous challenge, but I felt delighted at the end of the day. \"It was such a success and in fact, a big improvement on what was there before.\"",

However staff failed to administer the EpiPen in the five-minutes it took for paramedics to arrive, the inquest heard. Ms Hyde told the hearing Nasar was not breathing well enough for her to administer the inhaler. She focussed on his asthma, rather than using the Epipen, when he told her, \"Miss, I can't find my pump,\" the court heard. An EpiPen can help reverse the symptoms of a severe allergic reaction. Nasar's request for his asthma pump was not passed on to paramedics. Pathologist Dr Liina Palm told the hearing she could not ascertain from the post-mortem examination whether Nasar had died from an asthma attack or an allergic reaction. Dr Palm gave a cause of death as bronchial asthma that led to a hypoxic ischaemic brain injury, with multiple allergies as a contributing factor.",

            "input": "By Adrian BrowneBBC Wales political reporter First Minister Mark Drakeford has denied he is indy-curious, but his predecessor Carwyn Jones said the \"shambles\" around Brexit at Westminster was prompting people to start asking questions about independence. Is something afoot? Is resistance to the concept beginning to crumble? BBC Welsh affairs editor Vaughan Roderick says \"there is not much evidence of growing support for independence in itself, but there is evidence that it's being talked about a lot more.\" He told BBC Radio Wales the history of the independence movement is \"largely the history of Plaid Cymru\". Speaking on a special Breakfast with Claire Summers programme, which explored indy-curiosity, he said: \"What's interesting is you now have a broader movement. \"For instance at the Welsh Labour conference a few months ago there was a fringe meeting by a group called 'Labour for independence'. \"Now that would never have been allowed a few years ago. \"At the National Eisteddfod this year Carwyn Jones is addressing a meeting of Yes Cymru, a pro-independence group. \"He's addressing it to oppose independence but I don't think he would have accepted that invitation a couple of years ago. \"So it is being talked about more but's it's a conversation, if you like, rather than a huge change of mind by the Welsh population.\" In a random sample of views in Monmouth, a couple of miles from the English border, people were happy to join that conversation. Tom Innes, 65, owner of Fingal Rock wine shop on Monnow Street, said he was \"in favour of the United Kingdom\". \"I'm all for regional identity. I'm a strong supporter of the Welsh language and I think it's important that Wales should have its own identity. But looking into the future, you just don't know what's going to happen in any respect anyway. So if Wales became independent, it's another unknown. So I'm in favour of retaining the whole of the United Kingdom.\" Barney Ashton, 43, who lives in the town, is more open to the idea of independence. \"The way things are going with British politics at the moment and the way that it's governed centrally in England and looking at who's about to come into power - I'd like to be as far away from England as possible right now,\" he said. \"If we have a bit more sense in Wales and we could separate ourselves and make a bit more of our own decisions, it might be wise. \"I think Wales makes some good decisions already, you get free prescriptions. I used to live in England, I do feel a bit more cared for in Wales.\" Laura McAllister, Professor of Public Policy at Cardiff University, told the programme the indy-curious sentiment is \"very much related to the weird and wonderful political context in which we find ourselves\". Can you measure curiosity about something using opinion polls? She says that is difficult, but not impossible. \"Some of the polls have actually put scales in, where people talk on a one to 10 scale about their support for independence and if you aggregate some of that around the centre then at least four in 10 of our population is interested in the concept of independence,\" she said. Prof McAllister agrees that interest is being prompted by Brexit, how Brexit is being handled and what that says about the current political system. \"And also an awareness that Scotland has already begin to legislate in the Scottish Parliament for a second independence referendum,\" she said. \"So having had the huge attention and publicity around the first referendum in Scotland in 2014 the public's eyes have been opened to a constitutional possibility. \"That's a big difference to actually supporting it entirely but I think we're seeing generational change too amongst younger Welsh people, and particularly people who are angry at some of the policies that have impacted on Wales and there is a real energy around an alternative which might be independence.\" Sion Jobbins, who chairs Yes Cymru, which campaigns for Welsh independence, admits it has a \"mountain to climb\" if it is to ever achieve its goal. \"We're not making claims that we can have independence tomorrow, but I think a few factors are changing. \"I think people are asking questions. I'm seeing people who've always been quite independent-minded now have the confidence, they're coming out of the closet, they're talking about it, they feel confident to discuss it. \"And we're seeing a lot of people who are moving from indy-curious to [an] independence way of thinking. \"The rally we had in Cardiff, I was surprised [by] the number of people I saw there, people I never expected to see at a pro-independence rally.\" Geraint Davies, Labour Swansea West MP, wants more money and more \"self-government\" for Wales, but does not believe the sums add up for independence. \"We spend £15bn more [each year] than we raise in tax because, sadly, in Wales the wages are something like 70% of the UK average, and that's why we get the billions of pounds of convergence funding [EU aid for poorer areas].\" \"If tomorrow we were independent we'd suddenly lose that £15bn. \"In the event we were part of the EU obviously we'd get some convergence funding but then we'd face a tariff block at the border [with England] and 60% of our exports outside Britain go to the EU but most of our sales go between Wales and England. \"So whilst I want more money and more self-government [for Wales] if you go as far as independence you basically cut off your nose to spite your face.\" Delyth Jewell, Plaid Cymru AM for the South Wales East region: \"These are all important questions that we're looking at.\" \"This is the start of something really exciting, more and more people are talking about it. \"To re-coin a phrase - stop the world, Wales wants to get on.\"",

            "input": "Lamido Sanusi, Nigeria's controversial former bank chief, has achieved a life-long ambition. It might have been a surprise to some that he was chosen as emir, a post which carries enormous weight among Muslims from Nigeria's Hausa-Fulani community, ahead of his predecessor's eldest son, Lamido Ado Bayero, but he has never hidden the fact that he wished to become the traditional leader of Kano, one of the most historic and colourful cities of West Africa. 'Modernising approach' His grandfather, Muhammad Sanusi, was on the throne until he was deposed in 1963, and the new ruler - now known as Muhammad Sanusi II - sees this as his calling. He appears to believe that the subtle power and influence of the position could be used for the public good. In the mid-1990s he quit a well-paid job as banking risk manager to deepen his knowledge of Arabic and Islamic studies by going to study in Sudan. But he is a man who never shies away from controversy and after the end of military rule in Nigeria in 1999 he opposed the adoption of Islamic law in some northern states. He argued in newspaper articles that there were more pressing issues that needed to be dealt with. Who is Muhammad Sanusi II? His opposition to Sharia put him on a collision course with many conservative Muslims in the north - and his modernising approach is anathema to Boko Haram, which says it is fighting to create a strict Islamic state and opposes all Western values. The militants had already tried to assassinate his predecessor, Al Haji Ado Bayero, who died last month at the age of 83 after a long illness. Many are waiting to see what the new emir's line on the insurgency will be. One of the hurdles Mr Sanusi, 53, now faces in speaking his mind is literally the robes that he wears. When the royal court of Kano is in session, part of the emir's elaborate turban covers his mouth so that courtiers speak on his behalf. On the few occasions the emir speaks, it is expected to be in measured tones and bereft of controversy - two qualities the former banker is not famous for. The emir's role However, unlike his predecessor, he has started giving the weekly Friday sermon at the main mosque in Kano - which may be a way he will make his views known. It is unclear though if that will be enough to capitalise on his reforming zeal and forthright nature in his new role. As someone who does not shy away from pointing to the elephant in the room, Emir Sanusi is more likely to use his influence to address challenges like Boko Haram's insurgency, unemployment and poor school enrolment by leveraging his position with Nigeria's political leaders and ordinary people who are sometimes suspicious of the government's intentions. The role of the emir is that of peacemaker and politics is something that he traditionally stays clear of. The governing People's Democratic Party (PDP), however, has been affronted by his appointment and in what seemed like a comedy of errors tried to congratulate another candidate on the appointment before the Kano state governor, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, announced his choice. President Goodluck Jonathan, who suspended Mr Sanusi in February as bank governor, has yet to congratulate him. The former bank chief's whistle-blowing over $20bn (£12bn) allegedly missing from the state oil company still rankles and Mr Sanusi is currently challenging his suspension in court. There are indications that in order to smooth relations with the federal authorities he may discontinue his legal challenge. But with the calculation that no politician can win a presidential election without achieving a certain number of votes in Kano, one of Nigeria's two most populous states, Mr Jonathan may well have to doff his hat before long to his foe at the palace in order to show voters he respects their ways and traditions.

            "input": "By Jenny Norton and Cagil KasapogluBBC World Service Until mid-July, her main worry was getting the right grades for medical school. Now Chilla and her fellow pupils are faced with Turkish accusations that their school has links to a terrorist organisation. Kharisma Bangsa school is one of hundreds across the world that Turkey wants to shut down because they have links to a US-based cleric, Fethullah Gulen. The cleric is held responsible by the Ankara government for the failed July coup in which more than 270 people died. And Turkey argues the schools are part of a strategy to undermine the state. But pupils, teachers and parents interviewed in several countries say they have no links to suspicious activities. Turkey looks to close Gulen schools Who are the Gulenists? Who is Fethullah Gulen? Turkey coup: Who was behind Turkey coup attempt? Kharisma Bangsa is one of nine Indonesian schools Ankara says should be shut down because of their alleged ties to Fethullah Gulen. Secretive network or loosely linked? Turkey says the schools are part of a vast and secretive network which the Gulen movement has used to build a powerbase and infiltrate state institutions. Accusations have been levelled against schools with Turkish connections in more than a dozen countries, from Germany to Afghanistan, leaving thousands of children facing uncertainty over their education. Supporters of the schools say they are no more than a loose affiliation of institutions that share common values and are committed to academic excellence. From extensive interviews with BBC World Service across 10 countries in three continents, it is clear that the schools have much in common but operate quite differently. But all are feeling the pressure. What is a Gulen school? There is no common brand name for the schools. In Pakistan they are called \"Pak-Turk Lycees\", in Kyrgyzstan they are known as \"Sebat\" (Persistence) schools, and in Kenya, \"Light Academies\". Most were set up as partnerships between Turkish and local businesses and organisations, but in many countries like Indonesia and Kyrgyzstan, the Turkish partners are no longer directly involved. Local and Turkish partners say they're admirers of Fethullah Gulen, but not connected to him formally. \"A Gulen school, business or newspaper is generally unofficially labelled as such, because the owner or manager considers Fethullah Gulen as a spiritual leader or source of inspiration,\" says Turkish academic Bayram Balci. Alp Aslandogan, who speaks on behalf of Gulen-associated schools in the United States, says there are numerous social networks within the movement. \"The schools which are seen as affiliated with the movement were started by people who belong to these networks.\" School focus on discipline Followers of Fethullah Gulen often refer to their movement by the name Hizmet (service), and the schools all share the same ethics. \"The teachers put emphasis on character-building, morals, and discipline,\" says Rosi, the mother of a pupil at Kharisma Bangsa. There's also a strong focus on teaching science. From Nairobi to Kandahar, school websites show pupils in smart uniforms, studying in well-equipped science labs or computer rooms. \"The children study every day until 3pm, then they have additional classes, activity clubs, and homework,\" says Baktigul, whose daughter attends a Turkish school in Kyrgyzstan. \"At 9pm they all sit down to have tea, and at 10pm it's bedtime.\" For Maxim Urazaev, who graduated from a Turkish lycee in the Russian city of Kazan in 2009 the experience was \"tougher than being in the army\". How close to Gulen himself? Head teachers have told the BBC the schools are not part of a formal structure. The head of Kyrgyzstan's 21 Sebat schools, Nurlan Kudaberdiev, says they are all connected to Fethullah Gulen informally because the schools were his idea. \"But there's no direct influence or financing from his side any more,\" he insists. Long before the Turkish government tried to shut the schools down, other countries took action of their own amid suspicion of the network's foreign links. In 2000, Uzbekistan shut down all Gulen-associated schools operating there, and similar steps were taken in Russia, where only seven remain of the 50 schools that used to operate until 2008. All are now firmly under Education Ministry supervision in the Turkic-speaking Muslim region of Tatarstan. Are they secular or religious? The schools describe themselves as secular, promoting tolerance and interfaith dialogue. \"In my five years at the school I never once saw a Koran or a Bible,\" says Maxim Urazaev, from Kazan. But in Russia and elsewhere schools have been accused of running extra-curricular and secret, religious study groups. Many former Soviet countries are deeply suspicious of religious activity beyond state control. A former teacher in Tatarstan rejected the idea of \"secret gatherings\" but told the BBC that pupils who wanted to could pray with their teachers and talk to them about religion. In Kenya, former students and teachers showed us books by Fethullah Gulen that they had been given. In Kyrgyzstan, 15-year-old Zainal said pupils were sometimes shown videos about Islam. But her mother, Bakhtigul, said she was satisfied it was not a problem. \"I even checked the books in their library to see if they had any Gulen literature or suspicious books, but there was nothing.\" How Gulen schools spread Gulen-affiliated schools have existed in Turkey since the 1970s and only expanded into a truly global phenomenon in the past 20 years. That expansion came as Fethullah Gulen grew closer to Recep Tayyip Erdogan, whose Islamist-rooted AK Party swept to victory in 2002. By teaching Turkish and promoting Turkish culture the schools helped to reinforce Turkey's position and influence across the former Soviet Union, the Far East and into Africa. In 2015 Turkey invested $6.2bn (£4.7bn; €5.5bn) across Africa. Somalia became a flagship for Turkish aid and investment, with three Gulen-linked schools catering for more than 1,000 children. Opportunities and connections Although the schools are fee-paying and attract the children of the elite, they also offer scholarships to poorer families. In Pakistan up to a quarter of children are on scholarships, in Afghanistan it is nearly 30%. Quite apart from the lure of a good education, the schools also offer an opportunity to travel by way of inter-school competitions known as \"Olympiads\". Star pupils from Kabul have competed in maths and Turkish-language competitions in Uganda, while children from Mogadishu have tested their skills in Kazakhstan. The schools say the competitions are a way of making a global network of friends. But Turkey argues they enable a movement responsible for a deadly coup attempt to continue recruiting new members worldwide. Which countries have agreed to Turkey's school closure demands? Thousands of children and their families have been left feeling vulnerable, and for many their future at the Gulen schools is unclear. \"I've been here for eleven years,\" says Musukan, a sixth former at the Pak-Turk school in Islamabad. \"This was the best time of my life. We love it here.\" \"If Turkey really has problems, don't involve us,\" says Salwa, an Indonesian sixth former. \"We're only here to study and to pursue our dreams.\" Jerome Wirawan, Olga Ivshina and Iram Abbasi contributed to this report.

            "input": "By Tom Gerken, BBC UGC & Social NewsAnd Maria Kornienko, BBC Monitoring More than 1.4 million people disliked the music video for the song Moscow in just three days before it was removed from the site on 10 September. The song praises the city of Moscow and its regime, mocking anti-government rallies and noting its lack of gay pride parades. It was released on Moscow City Day on 7 September 2019, which was one day before the elections to Moscow's Duma (city parliament). Because of this timing, the artists have been accused on social media of being paid by the Russian government to record the song, which they have refuted. \"The guys said a big thank you to all of the Moscow taxpayers who funded this from their pocket,\" wrote one prominent blogger on Twitter, while another alleged the song was made to \"make people respect the authorities\". This person's translated tweet reads: \"Top two of the dumbest Kremlin strategies: 2. [Beat people up] with batons to make them respect the authorities. 1. Release Timati's video to make the people respect the authorities.\" Timati initially responded to the dislikes by saying he was not ashamed of the song and was not paid to make it, but he has since deleted this comment and admitted the lyrics were \"too much\". \"I broke the record,\" he said. \"But I didn't want that at all. I did not aim to offend anyone. \"I love my city, and now it looks the best it has ever looked in all 36 years of my life, for which I am immensely grateful to those who made it possible. \"I definitely do not need mess so I am deleting this video to stop this wave of negativity.\" He is known to support President Vladimir Putin, having been photographed with him on several occasions, and has attended rallies in support of the Russian regime. This may have made him a target for criticism, with many people expressing their lack of surprise that Timati was critical of anti-government protests in the song. This tweet is one of many which accuses the musicians of being paid by the Russian government. The translation reads: \"I am really amused by the fact that the geniuses from the Moscow mayor's office are so detached from reality that they really hope to solve something with Timati's song. Aaah, Timati is not going to protests, well, that definitely means everyone else would stop.\" Timati is known internationally as a hip hop artist and has collaborated with acts like Snoop Dogg, Craig David and Timbaland. Meanwhile Guf is well-known in Russia and has 1.6m followers on Instagram, where he posted an emotional video apologising for the song and claimed he had been \"tricked\". \"I'm in shock,\" he said. \"I am very sorry. I did not know we had mayoral elections the day before yesterday. \"I was told we needed to congratulate the city on its day. I did not get a single penny out if it, I swear to you. They tricked me, they framed me. \"This time, I sincerely apologise to you, and I am proud of the youth that we have, who are interested in politics and are looking for some brighter future.\"",

THE SENSE OF AN ENDING - JULIAN BARNES About the book: The shortest book on this year's shortlist, The Sense of an Ending is about childhood friendship and the imperfections of memory. Narrated by Tony Webster, a man who has tried to live a straightforward life, it describes how he and his clique first met Adrian Finn at school. They all swore to stay friends for life. Now, with Tony middle-aged and divorced, a lawyer's letter throws up some surprises. About the author: Julian Barnes has been shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize three times, for Flaubert's Parrot (1984), England, England (1998) and Arthur and George (2005). The 65-year-old is the author of 10 previous novels, three books of short stories and also three collections of journalism. Barnes, who lives in London, was awarded the David Cohen Prize for Literature in 2011 for his lifetime achievement. Booker judge Gaby Wood says: \"It seems to be the most obvious book on this list. It's a quiet book, but the shock that comes doesn't break stride with the tone of the rest of the book. \"In purely technical terms it is one of the most masterful things I've ever read.\" About the book: A young boy, Jaffy Brown, is knocked unconscious by a Bengal tiger in the East End of 19th century London. He is saved by the tiger's owner, Charles Jamrach, a purveyor of wild and extraordinary animals. Jaffy begins working at Jamrach's Menagerie and is given the opportunity to take part in the voyage of a lifetime: to hunt down and bring back a dragon. About the author: Carol Birch's nine previous novels include Scapegallows and Turn Again Home, which was longlisted for the Man Booker Prize in 2003. Now 60, she has won the Geoffrey Faber Award and the David Higham Award for Best First Novel. She lives in Lancashire. Booker judge Gaby Wood says: \"It's set in a very Dickensian world but the language isn't arch, it isn't difficult, it doesn't try hard in any way. \"It does this wonderful trick of evoking that world so well that there's no uncertainty about where it's set, and you're at no remove from it either.\" About the book: Set against the backdrop of the 1850s Californian gold rush, The Sisters Brothers is believed to be the first Western novel to feature on the shortlist. It features contract killers Eli and Charlie Sisters, who are sent to California to kill Hermann Kermit Warm. But they discover that Warm is an inventor who could make all of them very rich. About the author: Patrick deWitt is one of two Canadians on the shortlist. Born in 1975 in British Columbia, he has also lived in California, Washington and Oregon, where he now lives with his wife and child. His first novel, Ablutions, was published in 2009. He also wrote the screenplay for Terri, a feature film starring John C Reilly that premiered at this year's Sundance Film Festival. Booker judge Chris Mullin says: \"The dialogue is wonderfully crisp - think Elmore Leonard - and the humour is rather black - think the Coen Brothers. \"It's also a rather chilling story and it's very gripping from beginning to end.\" About the book: Half Blood Blues revolves around the disappearance of black German jazz trumpeter Hieronymous \"Hiero\" Falk during World War II. Fifty years later, Hiero's bandmate Sid goes back to Berlin and a mysterious letter brings some long-buried secrets to the surface. About the author: Canadian Esi Edugyan wrote her debut novel, The Second Life of Samuel Tyne, when she was 25. Her work has appeared in several anthologies, including Best New American Voices 2003. Now 33, she lives in Victoria in British Columbia. Booker judge Susan Hill says: \"This is a wonderful, vibrant, tense novel about war and its aftermath. \"Its author has brought both the wartime past of a devastated city and its confident reinvention of itself in a new era to life with extraordinary assurance.\" About the book: Pigeon English tells the story of 11-year-old Harrison Opoku who, with his mother and sister, is newly arrived from Ghana on a rough London estate. When a local boy is knifed to death and a police appeal for witnesses draws only silence, Harrison decides to start a murder investigation of his own. About the author: Debut novelist Stephen Kelman made headlines last year when his manuscript for Pigeon English sparked a bidding war between 12 leading publishers. A BBC TV dramatisation is now in the pipeline. Born in Luton in 1976, he decided to pursue his writing seriously in 2005. Booker judge Matthew d'Ancona says: \"It's a novel of tremendous confidence that fizzes with doubts and anxieties about the way we live now. \"The fact that it was written before the riots of this summer is neither here nor there, but it does read in certain ways as a form of grim prophecy. \"But the main reason to read it is to enjoy a novelist in the prime of his writing delivering a tale that you simply cannot put down.\" Read our interview with Stephen Kelman here. About the book: In Moscow slang, a snowdrop is a corpse that lies buried or hidden in the winter snows, emerging only in the thaw. In this psychological drama Moscow is seen through the eyes of Nick Platt, an English lawyer living in the city during the Russian oil boom. When he rescues two sisters from a purse snatcher on the subway, it sets in motion a chain of events that take him from the Black Sea to the Arctic. About the author: Born in London in 1974, Miller studied literature at Cambridge and Princeton and began his journalistic career writing travel pieces about America. For three years he was The Economist's correspondent in Moscow and he is now its Britain editor. The former television producer lives in London and Snowdrops is his first novel. Booker judge Dame Stella Rimington says: \"It's an enthralling story, well-told and spiced with vivid descriptions of Moscow and some beautifully-drawn characters.\" Read our interview with A D Miller here.",

            "input": "By Alex TherrienHealth reporter, BBC News Usually livers are kept in ice prior before the surgery, but many become damaged and unusable as a result. For this study, scientists put them in a perfusion machine, pumping the organs with blood, nutrients and medicines. More of these \"warm\" livers went on to be transplanted and showed less damage than the \"cold\" ones, the trial found. Scientists said the study could help to reduce the significant proportion of people who die waiting for a new liver and potentially \"transform\" how organ transplants are carried out. 'Major impact' The randomised controlled trial involved 222 liver transplants in seven European centres. It compared liver transplants where the organs were first preserved in an ice box with those kept \"alive\" outside the body using a so-called normothermic perfusion machine. Out of the 220 transplants scientists analysed, the study found there was 50% less tissue damage in the \"warm\" livers - a key marker of how likely the organ is to survive as well as the transplant patient themselves. Scientists were also able to successfully transplant more of the warm livers than cold ones. Just 16 out of 137 warm livers needed to be discarded compared with 32 out of 133 cold ones, meaning 222 transplants were able to go ahead. All but two were analysed by the team. Prof Peter Friend, one of the authors of the study in the journal Nature and one of the inventors of the machine, said currently about a third of donated livers could not be used for transplantation due to a range of factors. These include livers taken from elderly people or those in poor health, which were more likely to fail, damage occurring while the organ was removed from the donor's body and damage sustained while being kept in ice. About 20% of patients die while waiting for a liver transplant, he said. Keeping the liver \"alive\" outside the body helps it recover from the damage it suffers during the process of being removed from the donor's body, authors said. \"There's a huge issue in terms of the [high] number of patients compared to donor organs, and yet we're not using all of the donor organs that are available,\" Prof Friend told the BBC. \"If we can go some way towards utilising the livers that are not transplanted it would have a major impact.\" Analysis BBC medical correspondent Fergus Walsh There are machines that can keep the heart beating and nourished outside the body. I have witnessed one of these heart-in-a-box machines in operation - and could see - and even touch - a pig's heart beating under the plastic covers. There are also machines that can keep kidneys preserved at body temperature. There has been such significant progress in this field that this trial may signal the beginning of the end of keeping donor organs on ice - although it could be several years before every transplant centre has this technology. 'I feel a lot fitter' David Radford, 63, from Oxford, needed a transplant after having liver cancer. He took part in the trial and was one of those who received a \"warmed\" liver. Mr Radford said his surgeon told him that when he performed the transplant \"he had never seen anything quite like it before\". \"Normally when he inserted an organ into the recipient it took about 30 seconds or so before it started working and there was a major dip in the blood pressure,\" Mr Radford said. \"But with me he was quite surprised that there was no change in the blood pressure at all and everything seemed to start working immediately.\" Mr Radford has since been skiing and now regularly does classes of tai-chi, yoga and kung-fu. \"It hasn't impaired me at all. If anything I feel a lot fitter than before.\" 'Landmark study' Much smaller studies have looked at the use of the technology before but this is the first large randomised controlled trial to compare it with ice-box storage to see which is most effective. Prof Friend said he thought the technology could potentially transform how organ transplants are carried out. \"The concept of keeping organs alive and functioning appears to be completely transferrable between different other organ types,\" he said. Liver perfusion is currently performed on the NHS in a small number of specialist centres in the UK. But experts say the technology is expensive and a cost analysis will need to be carried out before it is offered more widely. Stephen Wigmore, professor of transplant surgery at the University of Edinburgh, who was not involved in the trial, said it was a \"landmark\" study. \"Whereas before the conclusions that could be drawn [about organ perfusion] were slightly weak and anecdotal, this is scientifically robust in its design and statistical power, so we're more certain about the outcomes being good in this study.\" Barry Fuller, professor of surgery at University College London, said the research presented a \"very significant advance\" in the use of the technology. \"The challenge now is to make the technology widely used and logistically manageable and affordable.\" Follow Alex on Twitter.",

            "input": "With 10 dead in South Korea, public confidence has faltered as authorities have failed to swiftly halt the spread of the disease. This has contributed to an atmosphere of uncertainty. South Korean authorities have issued guidelines, advising people to \"avoid visiting crowded places as much as possible\" and to wear face masks in public. It has also advised against \"close contact with people who have fever and heavy breathing\". Some buildings have set up temperature screening booths at their receptions. It appears that to some extent, South Koreans have been heeding the advice. People wearing masks on the streets of South Korea's cities have become a common sight. Baseball games, cinemas, churches, shopping malls and theme parks have reported lower visitor volumes, according to news agencies. Some South Koreans are choosing to get groceries delivered to them at home instead of venturing out. E-Mart and Lotte Mart, two of the country's biggest supermarket chains, saw weekly sales in store drop by 12% while online sales went up by 50%, reported AFP news agency. Supermarket staff have also been wiping down supermarket trolley handles before and after use. Nearly 2,500 schools have been temporarily shut, while health workers have been spraying down subway stations and the insides of train carriages. After facing intense criticism that it was not doing enough, the government has stepped up efforts to put out more timely information and allay public panic. It has launched a website dedicated to Mers updates, Acting Prime Minister Choi Kyung-hwan was photographed shaking hands with shop owners, and President Park Geun-hye postponed a trip to the US vowing to put a \"quick end\" to the outbreak. Police have charged eight people for allegedly spreading rumours falsely naming hospitals treating Mers patients and disclosing patient information without consent, reported Yonhap news agency. Village lockdown More than 3,800 people remain under quarantine - either monitored in hospitals or at home. Those at home are being tracked by their mobile phones. But one entire village has been put on lockdown. More than 100 residents of Jangduk in North Jeolla province have been barred from leaving and from receiving visitors since last Friday, when one case of Mers was confirmed. The elderly woman had earlier sought treatment at a hospital where Mers patients were being treated. While she is now in another nearby hospital, the whole village has been isolated, with all entry roads guarded by sentries. Health workers have been taking residents' temperatures twice a day, and the government and other villages have been providing food and supplies. \"We are not in the middle of war, and didn't get any advance notice,\" a resident told Reuters news agency over the phone. Mask fun Amid the public unease, some South Koreans have tried to make light of the situation - including this Seoul wedding party whose picture has gone viral online. Wedding organiser Sewing for The Soil told the BBC's Kevin Kim in Seoul that they provided masks at the ceremony last Saturday in case guests needed them. \"After taking the main wedding photos, we thought it would be fun if we took a group photo with everybody with the masks on, and the bride and groom agreed... it was all fun and light-hearted,\" said a spokesman. Actors and singers have also started posting pictures of themselves wearing masks on their social media accounts, prompting a wave of \"mask selfies\", reported The Korea Herald. Some have used it as an opportunity to encourage better health practices. \"Wash your hands, wear a mask (to) avoid Mers,\" wrote pop singer Zico. Culture curtailment But Korean pop music or K-Pop, one of South Korea's most famous cultural exports, has itself not been immune to the slowdown, with several singers postponing their national tours. A rap music festival which was due to be held in Seoul last weekend has also been cancelled. Arts and cultural centres in the cities of Busan, Jeju and Yongin have cancelled performances, reported The Korea Herald, and film distributors have postponed releases as cinema ticket sales have plummeted by 25%. An international book fair due to open next week has also been put back to mid-October, while agricultural events, such as the Mountain Berry and Watermelon Festival in Gochang county, have been cancelled. Tourism drop-off Known for its shopping and beautiful landscapes, South Korea is a magnet for visitors in the region. But since the outbreak began more than 54,000 tourists have cancelled their bookings, according to tourism authorities. Many of those cancelling flights are from Hong Kong, mainland China, Taiwan and Singapore, according to travel analysis firm ForwardKeys. Hong Kong issued a travel alert earlier this week advising against non-essential travel to South Korea, while other governments such as Taiwan have called on travellers to take precautions. The trend has had an industry-wide effect with hotels, travel agencies and duty free retailers reporting lower sales figures. In a press release, Mario Hardy, the chief executive of the Pacific Asia Travel Association, called for transparency from the authorities \"so that the travelling public are in full possession of all the facts and there is no unnecessary alarm and panic\".",

She said the disease had so far infected at least 11,125 people in five of Haiti's 10 districts. Aid agencies are battling to contain cholera in the capital Port-au-Prince, amid fears it will spread through camps housing 1.1m earthquake survivors. More than 80 people have died in the past 24 hours across the country, according to the health ministry. High fatality rate Ms Byrs, of the UN's Office for the Co-ordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), said the funds will be used to bring in more doctors, medicines and water-purification equipment. \"We absolutely need this money as soon as possible,\" she said. Stefano Zannini, head of mission for Medecins Sans Frontieres in Haiti, said on Friday that hospitals in Port-au-Prince are overflowing and patients may have to be treated in the streets. \"We are really worried about space,\" he said. \"If the number of cases continues to increase at the same rate, then we are going to have to adopt some drastic measures. We are going to have to use public spaces and even streets. I can easily see this situation deteriorating to the point where patients are lying in the street, waiting for treatment. At the moment, we just don't have that many options.\" The World Health Organization said on Friday it did not expect the epidemic to end soon. \"The projections of 200,000 cases over the next six to 12 months shows the amplitude of what could be expected,\" said spokesman Gregory Hartl. He said that the current fatality rate of 6.5% was far higher than it should be. \"No-one alive in Haiti has experienced cholera before, so it is a population which is very susceptible to the bacteria,\" he said. \"Once it is in water systems it transmits very easily.\" The outbreak began in Haiti's Artibonite River valley in mid-October and at first seemed to have been contained. But Hurricane Tomas, which struck earlier this month, flooded rivers believed to be contaminated with cholera and submerged refugee communities already struggling to survive. The disease is spread by contaminated drinking water or food, but is treatable with oral or intravenous rehydration and antibiotics. Aid agencies say access to clean water is a major problem, and they are struggling to get the message across to Haitians to seek medical help as soon as cholera-like symptoms appear. Even before the earthquake only 40% of Haitians had safe drinking water. Haiti's besieged health services have been warned to expect a different scale of disaster if cholera takes hold in the capital, which was devastated by January's earthquake that left more than 250,000 people dead. \"We greatly fear a flare-up in the capital which would be serious given the conditions in the camps,\" Claude Surena, president of the Haitian Medical Association, told AFP news agency. Aid delayed Meanwhile, the first portion of US financial aid for reconstruction in Haiti is on its way, more than seven months after it was promised to help the country re-build after the earthquake in January. The $120m (£74m) - about a tenth of the amount pledged in total by the US - has faced several delays. Only 37.8% of the money pledged by all countries for 2010-11 has been delivered to the poverty-stricken nation.",

            "input": "By Robbie MeredithBBC News NI Education Correspondent Arezki Yachir lives in north Belfast and has gone to school in Northern Ireland since 2014. He received two A* grades and an A grade in his A-levels, taken at Blessed Trinity College, a few weeks ago. He was refused leave to remain in the UK when he turned 18. Mr Yachir, whose family came to Northern Ireland from Algeria in 2014, has appealed to the Immigration Tribunal against that decision. That appeal is still ongoing. 'Liable to be detained' His father claimed the family's life was under threat there due to opposition to his business as a wine merchant. Due to his good A-level results, Mr Yachir had been accepted by Queen's University to study criminology and was due to begin his course on Monday 21 September. But the Education Authority (EA) has told him as the Home Office has said that he is \"liable to be detained\" as \"a person without leave\", he is not eligible for a tuition fee loan or maintenance loan. \"I've lived here for quite a while now and not being able to go to university, not being able to do anything until I get residency or something like that, it's very sad and mentally it's tough as well,\" Mr Yachir told BBC News NI. 'The teachers were amazing' He said that Blessed Trinity College, in north Belfast, had been a very good school. \"I felt very welcome, the teachers were amazing,\" he said. \"At the start it was a wee bit hard as I couldn't speak any English so I had to pace myself and take it easy. \"And then I did my GCSEs and was able to take my A-levels as well, and I just got my results recently. \"I got two A*s and an A and I got multiple offers for university. \"I chose Queen's because it's a very good university - obviously the ranking is pretty high in the UK so I thought I'd go there to study criminology because I was always passionate about it.\" Mr Yachir was accepted for a place at Queen's but cannot take it up without a tuition fee loan and living costs loan. 'No status' But he said he did not blame the EA for the situation he was in. \"The Education Authority, they can't really help me financially to go to university because as an asylum seeker, as a person with no status in the UK they can't really help me - but I'm not blaming them because they're just doing their job. \"I just think it's a bit sad that I can't go to university and keep on going with my education.\" Refugees and asylum seekers are eligible to apply for tuition fee and maintenance loans to go to university. However asylum seekers like Mr Yachir who are refused leave to remain are not eligible, even if they have launched an appeal. Sinn Féin MP for North Belfast, John Finucane, said the decision by the Home Office \"not to permit asylum seeker status to Arezki is wrong and it must reverse this decision\". \"Arzeki and the Yachir family were forced to flee Algeria due to threats on their life - there is an obligation on us all to provide them with the maximum support in their new home\", he added. Mr Finucane said he had spoken with the family and their solicitor to offer his support, and had also been in contact with Queen's. 'I feel at home' \"I need either a student visa or residency and my court was still pending because of Covid for residency so right now I'm left in no situation,\" Mr Yachir said. \"I was supposed to start university next week and now, you know, I can't go anymore so it's a waste of a year - I'm pretty sad about it. \"I was young when I moved here so I feel at home.\" He added: \"I've got a lot of friends, all my friends are from here and they're all good people and I just feel very good here.\" Mr Yachir's solicitor, Brian Moss of Worthington's Law in Belfast, is challenging the decision not to award him student funding. \"Arezki is an asylum seeker whose claim for asylum has been refused by the UK Home Office, but who has appealed to the Immigration Tribunal against that decision and this appeal is still outstanding,\" he said. \"That being so, Arezki is presently a person who specifically cannot be removed from the UK, and therefore, not liable to removal. \"His appeal might be successful, in which case he would of course be allowed to remain in the UK.\" No date for Mr Yachir's appeal hearing has been set. The EA said it could not discuss individual cases but if circumstances changed then applications for funding could be assessed for eligibility again. The EA also said that Student Finance NI worked with students and the Home Office to obtain all the relevant documentation to help assess applications for eligibility for funding.",

His parents took him to a paediatrician when he had difficulty breastfeeding. Upon examining the infant, the paediatrician found white tissue in his mouth and referred the family to Dr Ramatri. \"When I examined him, I found that he had seven teeth,\" Dr Ramatri told BBC Hindi. \"Sometimes you see tips (of the teeth) in newborns but they don't grow for a while. In this case, the teeth were fully out.\" While Dr Ramatri said he had not read about a case like this before, he felt that it was not necessarily abnormal. \"It is a normal biological process. It happened early in this case,\" he said. He was forced to remove the teeth surgically, he added, because they were not firm, and if one of them had broken off, it could have got stuck in the baby's windpipe, which would have been fatal. \"I was praying that the teeth wouldn't come off before we operated.\" The baby is able to feed now he said, but added that it was hard to say if the surgery would interfere with how the baby's teeth would grow in the future.",

Almost nine in every 10 (89.4%) entries were awarded A* to C grades, up from 82.2% in 2019. A body representing some school leaders has called for an immediate independent review of the process for awarding exam grades this year. The GCSE results have been issued just days after the Education Minister Peter Weir said they would be solely based on grades provided by schools. Mr Weir also made a similar decision on A-Level and AS grades which had already been awarded to students. Revised A-Level and AS grades will now be made available to affected pupils on Friday. 'Not disadvantaged' However, many pupils in Northern Ireland who were expecting to get BTec results on Thursday will not receive them. On Wednesday evening, exam board Pearson announced it would re-grade BTecs in line with GCSEs and A-levels and told schools not to release the results they had been sent. On Thursday, the chief executive of the South Regional College said Northern Ireland's six regional colleges will reserve places for students who have already applied. Brian Doran told BBC News NI it was \"extremely disappointing that Pearson have come out at the 11th hour to make this decision\", but said the colleges will take steps today to ensure students are \"not disadvantaged\". \"Our focus rightly so is on the student who is affected by this,\" he continued. \"These students have already gone through a very difficult time, they're extremely anxious and this just simply adds to that particular problem. \"The delay for the BTec students and their progression into college will be addressed.\" Heather McKee, a director at South-Eastern Regional College (SERC), confirmed it will also be reserving places for students who have already applied. \"In addition, the college's application processes will remain open to allow other young people to submit applications for courses whilst awaiting their results, which they can confirm when they receive their grades,\" she said. \"We feel desperately sorry for the students affected in a year when they have already undergone far too much disruption and hope that Pearson will act to issue revised grades within days.\" Top grades At GCSE, almost one in every five entries (19.6%) from grammar schools was awarded an A* grade, up from 13.3% in 2019. More than half of entries (53.9%) from grammar schools were awarded A*-A grades. That compared to 17.7% in non-grammar schools. Almost twice as many entries from girls achieved the top A* grade as those from boys. Just under 9% of entries from boys achieved A* compared to 15.7% of entries from girls. In languages, there were further decreases in the number of pupils studying French but entries in Spanish and German rose in 2020. The GCSE data provided by the Northern Ireland exams board CCEA does not include results for the relatively small number of students who take GCSEs through English and Welsh exam boards. Those pupils will also receive results on Thursday, although aabout 98% of GCSEs in Northern Ireland are taken through CCEA. The Association of School and College Leaders (ASCL) congratulated pupils but said an overall review was needed into the process for awarding grades in 2020. \"We are supportive of the decision not to rely on a statistical model for moderating grades which would have produced far too many anomalous results,\" Robert Wilson of ASCL said. \"However, it is imperative that we now understand what went wrong and why we have ended up in this situation.\" \"We will be writing to the minister for education to ask him to commission an immediate independent review of the process for awarding grades to GCSE, AS and A-level students in Northern Ireland this year.\" 'Very pleased' Nicole, a GCSE pupil at Carrickfergus Academy, said she was delighted with her results and will now progress to A-level subjects in English, science and art. She was awarded an A*, two As, two Bs a C* and a C in Thursday's results. Fellow Carrick Academy student Oliver said he was \"very pleased\" after attaining 5As, two Bs, a C* and a C. The school's principal, Dr Paula Downing, said it had been a \"very frustrating week\", but it was \"much more positive than last Thursday morning\" when the standardised AS and A-level results were published. \"There were a lot of results that we found very difficult to account for and explain,\" she told BBC Breakfast. \"It left a lot of our students feeling very disappointed not knowing what the outcomes would be for them.\" She said around a third of the Academy's pupils are still waiting on results to be fully confirmed due to the delay with BTec grading, however, she said predicted teacher results \"allow them to make decisions\".",

The United States has been trying to ease tension between its two allies. Mr Obama pledged his \"unwavering commitment\" to them in the face of North Korea's nuclear programme. Shortly after the meeting, North Korea test-fired what the South Korean government said appeared to be two mid-range ballistic missiles that flew about 650km (403 miles) off the North's eastern coast. Such a launch would violate UN resolutions and be a significant step up from the shorter-range rocket launches the North has staged in recent weeks, apparently in protest at ongoing joint US-South Korean military drills. 'Co-operation' \"Close co-ordination between our three countries has succeeded in changing the game with North Korea,\" Mr Obama said. \"Our trilateral co-operation has sent a strong signal to Pyongyang that its provocations and threats will be met with a unified response.\" President Park had refused to meet Mr Abe over allegations that he is trying to whitewash Japanese war crimes. \"We consider this meeting the first step in future co-operation between Japan and South Korea,\" said Mr Abe after arriving in The Hague. He said he would also like to hold a first meeting with the Chinese leader, Xi Jinping. Japan and China are locked in a more serious confrontation in the East China Sea, where China has been challenging Japanese sovereignty and control over the uninhabited Senkaku or Diaoyu Islands. Mr Abe's government had infuriated South Koreans and others by announcing a review of Japan's historic apology for its sexual enslavement of Asian women during World War Two. He has since backtracked, saying that the 1993 Kono statement, which acknowledged the role of the imperial army in the forced recruitment of Asian women, would stand. Diplomats say the decision followed pressure from the US, which also criticised Mr Abe's visit late last year to the Yasukuni war shrine, which is seen as a symbol of Japanese militarism. The US has been frustrated by the wrangling between its two north-east Asian allies at a time of growing fears about stability in North Korea, and the missile and potential nuclear threat posed by its armed forces. South Korea and China have accused Mr Abe of stirring up nationalist sentiment in Japan at a time of rising tension in northeast Asia. Mr Abe has said he wants to restore Japanese pride and self-confidence. He has also announced plans to strengthen Japan's defence posture against the rising power of China.",

Lord Warner said the UK had failed to protect the rights of non-Jewish people in the region and should apologise. The government said there would be no apology but it would work for peace between Israel and the Palestinians. During questions in the House of Lords, the Foreign Office Minister Baroness Anelay told the independent peer that the government \"will mark the centenary of Balfour with pride\" and had invited Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to the UK. However, she added: \"We recognise that the declaration should have called for the protection of political rights of non-Jewish communities in Palestine, particularly their right to self-determination. \"This is why we support a two-state solution.\" In November 1917, the then British Foreign Secretary, Arthur Balfour, wrote a letter to Lord Rothschild, a leader of the Jewish community in Britain. It became an important element in the movement to create a Jewish state in Palestine, which culminated in the establishment of the state of Israel in 1948. Historians disagree as to what Balfour intended by his declaration. The letter makes no mention of the word \"state\" and insists that nothing should be done \"which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine\". Crossbencher Lord Warner argued that there was a \"conditionality\" to the declaration and successive UK governments \"have failed to deliver that declaration protection to the Palestinian people\". He told the House: \"Furthermore, should we not mark the centenary with a gracious apology from the British government in Parliament for the suffering that that failure has caused and try to make amends... with a clear commitment to recognition of a viable independent Palestinian state?\" Text of the letter Foreign Office November 2nd, 1917 Dear Lord Rothschild, I have much pleasure in conveying to you on behalf of His Majesty's Government, the following declaration of sympathy with Jewish Zionist aspirations which has been submitted to, and approved by, the Cabinet: His Majesty's Government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavours to facilitate the achievement of this object, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country. I should be grateful if you would bring this declaration to the knowledge of the Zionist Federation. Yours, Arthur James Balfour Baroness Anelay replied: \"It was a historic statement and one for which the United Kingdom has no intention to apologise. We are focused on encouraging the Israelis and Palestinians to take steps which bring them closer to peace.\" She ruled out recognising a Palestinian state until there was \"a lasting negotiated solution\", saying that \"bilateral recognition does not deliver reality\". Conservative peer Lord Leigh of Hurley described Israel as \"the one country in the Middle East that does protect human rights for women and gays amongst others\". And Labour foreign affairs spokesman Lord Collins of Highbury said: \"The most important thing we can achieve in 100 years of the Balfour Declaration is ensuring that peace talks commence.\" Lord Warner asked the question on behalf of absent independent peer Baroness Tonge, who quit the Liberal Democrats in 2012 over remarks she made about Israel. Last year, Palestinian officials announced plans to sue the UK over the Balfour Declaration, arguing that it led to mass Jewish immigration to British Mandate Palestine \"at the expense of our Palestinian people\". Mr Netanyahu said the move \"shines a light clarifying that the root of the conflict is the [Palestinian] refusal to recognise a Jewish state in any borders\".",

            "input": "Amol RajanMedia editor@amolrajanon Twitter TNE was owned by Archant, the local publishing group based in Norwich. Its chief content officer, former Daily Mirror executive Matt Kelly, led the fund-raising effort, and as of this morning has left Archant to become CEO and editor-in-chief of The New European. The executive chairman will be Gavin O'Reilly, the Irish businessman who was former CEO of Independent News & Media, and whose father Tony was for many years proprietor of The Independent. Archant was sold to a private equity group last August. Investor calls Kelly was the first editor of TNE, before moving up to be publisher. His backers include influential figures from the world of venture capital and technology: Robin Klein, ex-partner at Index Ventures, co-founder of The Accelerator Group, and now at Local Globe; Taavet Hinrikus, the Estonian founder of TransferWise, an international money transfer platform, who previously helped grow Skype. O'Reilly and Kelly, who knew each other previously, first discussed the idea while drinking at Piers Morgan's annual Christmas party at The Scarsdale Tavern, a pub in Kensington, west London, in 2019. The involvement of Barber and Thompson is striking. For Barber, it is his first significant editorial intervention since resigning as editor of The Financial Times (he has started a podcast for LBC, too). He has been a vocal critic of Brexit. For Thompson, the former BBC director general who is moving toward a portfolio career after a commercially successful reign as chief executive of The New York Times, it is the first well-publicised investment of his own money. Thompson made several million dollars from the sharp rise in the share price of The New York Times under his leadership. The strong political stance of TNE makes this a noteworthy association. As the boss of the BBC, Thompson was required to abide by strict impartiality rules. The New York Times is a liberal title, though its news reporters are expected to be impartial too. When Kelly first approached him, Thompson was at his home in Maine, north of New York, where he had just finished digging his Subaru out of a snowdrift. Other backers investing in a personal capacity are: Saul Klein (Local Globe, with his father Robin), Barry Maloney (Balderton), Jeff Henry (ex-CEO of Archant who green-lit TNE), journalist Steve Anglesey, ex-McKinsey partner Cornelius Walter and entrepreneur Niels Kroninger. Another backer, also investing in a personal capacity, is Ed Williams, the president and CEO of Edelman in Europe, the Middle East and Africa. Williams worked with Thompson at the BBC, and spent two hours walking round Kensington Gardens with Kelly discussing the proposal. There are 14 investors in total, including Kelly and O'Reilly. Commercial viability That is an impressive roster of investors. None of them will expect TNE to make them rich. This must be a passion project for them. Nevertheless, at a time of structural decline in the print market, and Covid-19 leading to further falls in circulation and advertising, profit remains the only guarantee of true independence. Can The New European be profitable? Yes - but not immediately. And not in a big way - that is, it won't make several million each year - unless people pay for it online. TNE currently more than washes its face, making £80,000 as a standalone business. But that is based on a shoestring editorial budget of £6,500 per issue, with some costs absorbed by Archant and only three members of staff, including editor Jasper Copping and digital editor Jono Read. That editorial budget will rise by 50 per cent immediately; and Archant will no longer foot the bill for overheads. As with all print products, lockdown has caused a fall in circulation, but also created an opportunity to grow subscriptions. There are now more than 10,000 subscribers. With 7,000 sales at news-stand, that makes around 17,000 full price weekly sales. The website gets more than a million page views a month, which is not big. TNE didn't have a website until several months after it launched. The print title, which is £3, will remain core to its future. There is an intriguing but embryonic plan to crowd-fund the publication later this year, by making a portion of the business available for ownership by members of the public. The new owners project a loss in 2021, but a return to profit in 2022. Market opportunity When launching a new media product, the key question is not whether there is a gap in the market, but whether there is a market in the gap. That is, what evidence do you have that revenues will come in? Here, Kelly and his team will quickly discover the limits of the UK print market. A hardy perennial in British media - and one that explains the abject failure of the experiment in local TV news - is to look at what happens in America, and presume it can be replicated here, totally overlooking the fact that the US is a much, much bigger country. For curious historic reasons, the UK has a small but very crowded print market. It follows that the key is to sell in bigger markets. The internet provides that - especially its English-speaking users in America. The remarkable growth in traffic and revenues at The Independent since it went digital only in March 2016 has come largely from America, a trick other publications such as Mail Online and The Economist have also pulled off. (Full disclosure: I was editor of The Independent until that transition.) Thirty years ago, a liberal print publication might worry about whether titles with similar politics had sewn up the money of all those inclined to pay for such journalism. Today, there is a vast market online, and the evidence is growing that its consumers will pay for content if it's good enough. Powered by the web, and digital subscriptions in particular, Britain's political magazine culture is in improving health. Titles like The New Statesman, London Review of Books, Times Literary Supplement, Prospect and 1843, a magazine from The Economist, have all grown their paying audience. The sharpest growth, however, is from The Spectator. It has more sales than at any point since its launch in 1828. It will soon cross 100,000. New editions have been launched in both America and Australia. Such is its digital growth, that coming out of print distribution (which is very costly and, when done through retailers, reduces margins) may be an option for Andrew Neil, the chairman, to consider. That said, coming out of print probably leads to a loss of influence, especially for a prestige product. There is a value in hard copies thudding on doormats, not least in Westminster; and the heart of many a writer skips a beat on seeing a byline in print. The Spectator has a very strong brand and voice, and awareness among potential buyers is very high. The same is not true of TNE. In Barber and Thompson, TNE has two former executives with experience of growing digital subscriptions. But the FT and New York Times are established global brands, with general appeal, big budgets, and long heritage. TNE is a start-up. It will need a savvy marketing campaign early on to boost awareness. And to get people paying for it digitally, it will need not only content that is compelling enough, but a website that is fast, beautiful, and navigable. The other method of growing revenue, as Thompson demonstrated at The New York Times, is to package and distribute journalism and ideas in different ways. Live events (after the pandemic); podcasts; and spin-off brands (such as those from the successful Guido Fawkes website) could all work. And newsletters are having a moment - whether the sponsored variety, such as those from Politico, or the paid-model of Substack. Perhaps Barber, who is tweeting a lot, could be persuaded to write a weekly newsletter under the TNE brand. They could call it \"Barber's Cut\". Editorially, TNE needs to prove it is not just a Remainiac rag. It was formed in the Brexit wars. Its tag-line remains \"Brexit News and Political Analysis\". But Britain has left the European Union, and there has been a pandemic. Finding an editorial identity for the world after Brexit, which reflects the pivot in our politics from a socio-economic axis (class) to a socio-cultural axis (identity) will be an early, urgent challenge. Coming up with a new tag-line may assist that process. It is one thing to pitch yourself, as TNE will, in the centre ground between The New Statesman and The Spectator; but it is quite another to understand, reflect, and shape what that centre ground actually is, in an era of smashed orthodoxies and incessant flux. TNE has always published a range of material beyond the European issue, including climate change, mental health, and US politics. Shaping its emerging identity is an exciting task for the editorial team. Breaking some big stories will help grow awareness. There is a certain chutzpah about The New European, which has won several awards in its young life. For most of the past 15 years, the idea of launching a print product has seemed ludicrous. Many attempts have been met with ridicule, from investors and consumers alike. That is why most new media ventures in this space, from UnHerd to Tortoise Media, are digital. To launch a print title, make a profit, win awards, and then raise investment to power growth, is an unlikely tale. To do it during a pandemic, when already ailing print models have taken a battering, is even more unlikely. TNE's readers are higher earners, mostly over 50, and professionals. And it turns out there's quite a lot of them about who still like the tactile experience of print. As with vinyl and terrestrial television, whose ratings have soared of late, print will be part of the media landscape for many years yet. So, it turns out, might The New European.

            "input": "Prosecutors said a Belgian-Armenian ring has been bribing players since 2014, with criminals winning bets on the fixed results. Professionals competing in lower-level tournaments were easier to bribe, prosecutors said. The investigation follows a report in April complaining of a \"tsunami\" of corruption in the sport. An Independent Review Panel (IRP) looked into the integrity of professional tennis after a joint Buzzfeed and BBC News investigation found suspected illegal betting. Belgian authorities cooperated with Bulgarian, Dutch, French, German, Slovakian and US counterparts in mounting simultaneous raids on Tuesday. Twenty-one properties in Belgium were searched, with 13 people held on suspicion of match-fixing, corruption, money laundering and participation in organised criminal activities. According to a report in Belgian newspaper Le Soir (in French), the matches in question took place on the International Tennis Federation (ITF) Futures circuit and the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) Challenger tour. A judge will decide whether those held will be formally arrested, prosecutors said. In response to the IRP report in April, the governing bodies of professional tennis - the ATP, WTA, ITF and Grand Slam Board - said they recognised \"vulnerabilities\" in the sport, particularly at lower levels. They also said they were \"committed to seizing the opportunity to address these concerns through firm and decisive action\". They are yet to comment on the Belgian raids. What did the April report find? Led by Adam Lewis QC, the IRP found a \"very significant\" corruption problem at \"lower and middle levels of the sport\" which Mr Lewis described as a \"fertile breeding ground for breaches of integrity\". There was no evidence of a cover-up by governing bodies. Men's games accounted for 83% of suspicious match alerts between 2009 to 2017, Mr Lewis said. There was also some evidence of issues at elite events like Grand Slams, but this was not seemingly a \"widespread problem\", the report said.",

            "input": "He will also resign as leader of the Scottish National Party (SNP), which he has led for a total of 20 years. Scottish voters backed the country staying in the UK by 2,001,926 votes to 1,617,989 in Thursday's referendum. Three arrests have been made after rival Union and independence supporters gathered in George Square in the centre of Glasgow. Police, including officers on horseback, had to separate the two groups. A spokeswoman for Police Scotland said there were about 100 people in each of the two groups, and although there had been some \"minor disorder\" it had been dealt with quickly, with no arrests so far. The square was closed to traffic with local diversions in place. The square had hosted a party by \"Yes\" supporters ahead of the referendum. BBC Scotland reporter Cameron Buttle, who was at the scene, said the confrontation started quickly with flares being fired and a \"co-ordinated\" charge from the Unionist side, who were singing Rule Britannia. Meanwhile, the Queen has said Scotland's vote to stay in the Union was \"a result that all of us throughout the United Kingdom will respect\". She added: \"Knowing the people of Scotland as I do, I have no doubt that Scots, like others throughout the United Kingdom, are able to express strongly-held opinions before coming together again in a spirit of mutual respect and support.\" Elsewhere, Prime Minister David Cameron said the three main Westminster parties would now deliver their campaign pledge to boost the powers of Scotland's devolved parliament. Referendum reaction Mr Salmond, 59, is Scotland's longest-serving first minister, having held the post since the SNP won power at the Scottish Parliament in May 2007. Speaking from his official residence at Bute House in Edinburgh, the first minister told journalists: \"For me as leader my time is nearly over, but for Scotland the campaign continues and the dream shall never die. \"I am immensely proud of the campaign that Yes Scotland fought and particularly of the 1.6 million voters who rallied to that cause.\" Mr Salmond said he would resign as SNP leader at the party's conference in November, before standing down as first minister when the party elects its next leader in a membership ballot. He said there were a \"number of eminently qualified and very suitable candidates\" to replace him. But Nicola Sturgeon, the current deputy first minister and deputy SNP leader, is seen as a clear frontrunner. Mr Salmond, who will stay on as MSP for Aberdeenshire East, added: \"It has been the privilege of my life to serve Scotland as first minister. \"But, as I said often during the referendum campaign, this is not about me or the SNP. It is much more important than that. \"The position is this. We lost the referendum vote but can still carry the political initiative. More importantly Scotland can still emerge as the real winner.\" Ms Sturgeon said she could \"think of no greater privilege than to seek to lead the party I joined when I was just 16,\" but said she would not make an announcement today. She added: \"Alex Salmond's achievements as SNP leader and Scotland's first minister are second to none. He led the SNP into government and has given our country a renewed self confidence.\" Mr Salmond also used his resignation statement to question Mr Cameron's more powers pledge. \"We now have the opportunity to hold Westminster's feet to the fire on the 'vow' that they have made to devolve further meaningful power to Scotland,\" he said. \"This places Scotland in a very strong position. What the 'No' vote means at home and abroad \"I spoke to the prime minister today and, although he reiterated his intention to proceed as he has outlined, he would not commit to a second reading vote (in the House of Commons) by 27 March on a Scotland Bill. \"That was a clear promise laid out by Gordon Brown during the campaign. \"The prime minister says such a vote would be meaningless. I suspect he cannot guarantee the support of his party.\" Many politicians paid tribute to Mr Salmond's contribution to political debate, including David Cameron who spoke of his \"huge talent and passion\". On referendum night, 28 of Scotland's 32 local authority areas voted in favour of staying in the UK. Glasgow, Scotland's largest council area and the third largest city in Britain, voted in favour of independence by 194,779 to 169,347. But the the 75% turnout in Glasgow was the lowest in the country, and hoped for breakthroughs in other traditional Labour strongholds such as South Lanarkshire, Inverclyde and across Ayrshire never materialised for the nationalists. Edinburgh, the nation's capital, clearly rejected independence by 194,638 to 123,927 votes, while Aberdeen City voted \"No\" by a margin of more than 20,000 votes. Across Scotland, 84.6% of registered voters cast their ballot in the referendum - a record for a national election. Mr Cameron said the Westminster parties would ensure commitments on new Scottish parliament powers were \"honoured in full\" after the final referendum result was announced. He said that Lord Smith of Kelvin, who led Glasgow's staging of the Commonwealth Games, would oversee the process to take forward the commitments, with new powers over tax, spending and welfare to be agreed by November, and draft legislation published by January. The prime minister also spoke of the implications for the other nations of the UK, and said \"millions of voices of England must also be heard\". He added: \"The question of English votes for English laws, the so-called West Lothian question, requires a decisive answer so just as Scotland will vote separately in the Scottish Parliament on their issues on tax, spending and welfare, so too England as well as Wales and Northern Ireland should be able to vote on these issues. \"And all this must take place in tandem with and at the same pace as the settlement for Scotland.\"",

At a hearing at the Court of Appeal, Lord Justice Sullivan refused it permission to appeal further. The campaigners had attempted to appeal over a 2011 planning inquiry decision about Wightlink's project to operate larger W-class ships between Lymington and Yarmouth, which had commenced two years earlier. 'Costly legal burden' Wightlink had been allowed to continue running larger ships on Lymington River after promising to \"offset\" the environmental impact. Opponents mounted legal action, claiming the ships were creating a bigger wash and were harming habitats in the Lymington River. But following a public inquiry, the planning inspector agreed that a plan to dredge material from the river to replenish marshland was sufficient. New Forest's district council and national park authority withdrew their objections to the scheme after it was revealed Natural England had agreed to the plans to replenish the marsh. The ferry company said the legal action had cost it £3.5m in five years. John Burrows, chief operating officer, said: \"While we recognise the rights of individuals to challenge developments on environmental grounds, we believe this case has gone too far. \"It seems to us to be quite wrong that a small group of individuals should be able to impose such a costly legal burden on the UK taxpayer and on our company.\" Stephen Akester, of the Lymington River Association, said the decision was \"very disappointing\".

            "input": "By Katie HopeBBC News, Davos But at the \"Dining in the Dark\" experience at Davos, we have no choice. We have to hold on to our waiter, Darren, so that he can guide us into the room. If we weren't physically touching something, it would be easy to trip over. This event is the hot ticket in Davos this year, with just 50 spaces each night for a conference with 3,000 attendees. Gina Badenoch, the founder of social enterprise Capaxia, and the organiser of this event, hopes the experience will encourage guests to broaden the type of people they employ. She says it is not about blindness as such, but about making us aware of how often we judge people solely on their appearance. At a similar event in Mexico 12 years ago, Ms Badenoch experienced walking down a street in the dark. She was so moved by how it made her feel she decided she would focus her career on changing perceptions of visually impaired people. She is a photographer, and she decided she would teach photography to people who couldn't see. She knows it sounds \"crazy\" but it is possible, she says, using sound to locate a subject before taking a picture. Finger food This evening she wants to give us that same experience: doing without the visual cues we usually rely on, to make us better listeners. \"It's about creating awareness of people's potential,\" she says. It's a good lesson in the context of the frenzied networking event that is the World Economic Forum gathering at Davos. Name badges may ostensibly be about security, but they're also used to judge at a glance whether the person in front of you is worth talking to. Stripped of our mobile phones and even our watches, we're led down a slope into the pitch black. There's no chink of light whatsoever. It's uncomfortable and disorientating. Our table of six is totally reliant on Darren, who guides our hands to our plates and tells us where to find cutlery, glasses and bread. In the dark, it's initially hard to make sense of what people are saying. But then it becomes oddly relaxing. Several of us end up closing our eyes to avoid straining to see. I am struggling to use my knife and fork, so I resort to using my fingers for the salad starter, and even the couscous and chicken main dish. After all, no-one will know. Beforehand, conversation had remained politely reserved, but in the dark my fellow diners and I opened up, about our relationships, love affairs and break-ups. One guest went so far as to share his conviction that you knew you were with the right woman when you were comfortable farting in front of each other. Ashamed Eventually, after two hours, the lights go up and we see our waiters for the first time - who it transpires are all themselves visually impaired. It's an emotional moment. Our waiter Darren who had seemed so powerful in the dark as he ably guided us, is holding a stick. If any of our table had met him beforehand, we agree we would have assumed he wasn't anywhere near as capable and would have judged him accordingly. We all feel ashamed. That moment is what Ms Badenoch hopes we will remember. She has organised similar dinners where the waiters are young and unemployed, and ones with people in wheelchairs. This year, she plans to run some with refugees and immigrants. \"See them for what they can do, not what they can't do,\" is her mantra. Furious Unconscious prejudice, particularly against disabled people, is a big theme at this year's Davos conference. In the UK, almost a fifth of the working age population is disabled, according to the latest officially statistics. Globally around 470 million disabled people are of working age, yet they are far less likely than their able-bodied peers to be working. These figures make Irish entrepreneur Caroline Casey furious. The founder of business inclusion firm Binc, she is at Davos to launch the next step of her \"Valuable\" campaign, aimed at getting 500 firms globally to put tackling disability on their board agenda within the next year. Ms Casey, the adventurous type, launched the campaign in 2017 with a 1,000-km horse ride across Colombia. She is driven in part because she too has a disability. Born with ocular albinism, a genetic condition that primarily affects the eyes, she hid it until she was 28. She had assumed that everyone's sight was as bad as hers until at 17 she told she wasn't allowed to drive. Later her sight became so bad she couldn't hide it any longer and \"came out\". Now, at 47 she doesn't want anyone to feel like she did. \"I don't understand why we can't accept the full human experience, we're all unique,\" she says. Awkwardness Jeff Dodds, managing director at Virgin Media, says it's not necessarily prejudice, but awkwardness holding firms back from being more inclusive. He says managers often worry about saying or doing the wrong thing. The telecoms firm is partnering with Binc on the \"Valuable\" campaign, and has committed to helping one million disabled people to find and stay in work by the end of next year. He says firms, particularly customer-facing ones like Virgin Media, can't afford to ignore such a large part of the population. \"The more inclusive we are, and the more different people we have in the organisation, the better our services will be,\" he says. He says injuring his back two years ago taught him how hard it was for people with additional workplace needs to have that conversation with their managers, but how failing to speak up meant you might not get the support you needed. Two hours eating dinner in the dark may not give you quite the same level of insight into how physical impairment can feel. But it may go some way, Ms Badenoch hopes, in helping us understand that vulnerability.",

            "input": "The US show launched the careers of comedy legends, including Eddie Murphy and Bill Murray. Sunday's episode featured classic SNL bits, with the show's veterans reinventing their most-loved sketches. Hollywood megastars Jack Nicholson, Robert De Niro and Tom Hanks also turned up. Dozens of cast members from Saturday Night Live's history were at Studio 8H at NBC in New York, including regulars from the first shows in 1975 Chevy Chase, Jane Curtin, Dan Aykroyd, Laraine Newman and Garrett Morris. Music stars Paul McCartney, Kanye West, Taylor Swift and Miley Cyrus were also there. There are highlights of the show on Saturday Night Live's YouTube channel. What is Saturday Night Live? Saturday Night Live is a comedy sketch show. It was launched as NBC's Saturday Night in 1975. The show features a series of sketches, which often make fun of things in the news. A series of performers are led by a different special guest each week and there are also musical slots for bands and artists. Some sketches on the show have been made into hit films, such as The Blues Brothers in 1980 and Wayne's World in 1992. SNL has won 36 Primetime Emmy Awards, but hasn't been without controversy. Rage Against The Machine were asked to leave the show in 1996 after putting upside-down American flags on their speakers in an episode hosted by billionaire Steve Forbes. Samuel L Jackson appeared to swear live on air in 2012, later explaining that a fellow cast member was supposed to interrupt him before the full word came out. Mike Myers from Wayne's World also apologised to the White House after making fun of Chelsea Clinton, the 12-year-old daughter of President Bill Clinton. Who else has made it big after appearing on SNL? Long before Anchorman, the producers of SNL spotted Will Ferrell's comedy talents. He joined the show in 1995, when its popularity with audiences was said to be dipping. Tina Fey is another famous face who's made a career after appearing on Saturday Night Live. She appeared on the show between 1996 and 2008 and went on to star in popular US comedy series 30 Rock and films such as Date Night and Anchorman 2. Her impressions of US vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin in 2008 were very popular. One sketch with Tina Fey as Palin and Amy Poehler as Hillary Clinton became NBC's most-watched viral video ever, with nearly six million views in a week. Saturday Night Live also spawned most of the cast of the new Ghostbusters film with Kristen Wiig, Leslie Jones and Kate McKinnon all appearing on SNL in the past. Singer Adele appeared on SNL before she was a huge star singing Chasing Pavements and Cold Shoulder in 2008. Why hasn't it worked outside America? Although Saturday Night Live is a bit of an institution in the United States, it's never done that well outside North America. SNL was broadcast in the UK on ITV4 in 2006, but was later dropped from the schedule. The UK shows were broadcast a few weeks after they'd aired in the US, making some of the topical jokes seem a bit old. A British version was launched, called Saturday Live, way back in 1985. It became Friday Night Live in 1988, but was dropped after one series. It helped to launch the careers of actors and comedians including Harry Enfield, Stephen Fry, Craig Charles, Ben Elton and Hugh Laurie. Other countries have launched their own versions of SNL such as Germany, Spain, Canada, Japan and South Korea, but most haven't done too well in the ratings.

            "input": "He is credited with helping achieve economic growth and peace after the devastation caused by the Khmer Rouge regime, responsible for one of the worst mass killings of the 20th century. But the prime minister, 65, is also seen as an authoritarian figure with a poor human rights record and the resources and will to thwart any real political challenge. He shows no signs of wanting to relinquish power - in June 2018, he vowed to rule for 10 more years. His ruling Cambodian People's Party (CPP) has dominated Cambodia for decades, but has faced competitive elections. However the party goes into the July 2018 elections facing no significant rivals after the main opposition - the Cambodia National Rescue Party - was dissolved. Political deals Born into a peasant family in 1952, Hun Sen was educated by Buddhist monks in Phnom Penh. In the late 1960s, he joined the Communist Party. He lost his left eye during an exchange of gunfire and he has reportedly said he can only see a limited distance. During Pol Pot's tyrannical regime in the late 1970s, under which as many as two million people died, Hun Sen commanded troops in the Khmer Rouge - although he denies accusations of complicity in the regime's crimes. In 1977 he fled to Vietnam to join troops opposed to the Khmer Rouge. When Vietnam installed a new government in Cambodia in 1979, he returned as minister of foreign affairs, becoming prime minister in 1985 at the age of 33. Hun Sen lost the 1993 elections, but he refused to accept the results and forced a negotiation to become second prime minister alongside the Funcinpec Party's Prince Norodom Ranariddh. He went on to seize power in a bloody coup in 1997, forcing Prince Ranariddh to temporarily leave the country. The CPP won general elections in 2003 but did not have a two-thirds majority, so it struck a deal with Funcinpec in 2004, ending almost a year of political deadlock. Hun Sen was re-elected prime minister by parliament in July 2004. Warnings of war In Cambodia's 2008 elections the CPP won most of the contested seats. But the polls were criticised by international monitors, with the EU saying the ruling party made \"consistent and widespread\" use of state resources for its own campaign. Hun Sen takes credit for Cambodia's rapid economic growth and a booming garment sector that manufactures clothes for global brands. He also regularly warns Cambodians that if he were to be ousted from power, the country would return to a state of war. He focused on this theme in the lead-up to the 2013 election, after two major opposition parties joined forces, presenting a united threat to the CPP. The party they formed, the Cambodia National Rescue Party, was led by Sam Rainsy, a former Funcinpec minister who has long been Hun Sen's chief rival. Ahead of the vote, Hun Sen faced calls from the US to allow Mr Rainsy to return from exile. He had been living in France after being jailed in absentia in 2010 on charges he said were politically motivated. Eventually Hun Sen relented. Mr Rainsy was granted a royal pardon and arrived in Phnom Penh to a hero's welcome from thousands of cheering supporters who lined the streets. A major challenge The CNRP picked up momentum and won 55 National Assembly seats to the CPP's 68 in the 2013 election - the worst result for the CPP in many years. Mr Rainsy and the CNRP - supported by reports of widespread irregularities from local and international election monitors - cried foul and rejected the results. They led a protest movement for nearly a year, including mass street rallies and a large sit-in at a park in Phnom Penh. It was the most significant challenge to Hun Sen's rule in more than a decade, and eventually he ordered the security forces to end the protests. He and Mr Rainsy reached a deal to work together under a \"culture of dialogue\" but this eventually broke down, with opposition party members and activists jailed. Sam Rainsy again fled abroad after a historic prison sentence was resurrected. In 2016, a government crackdown against perceived dissidents escalated, ahead of local elections in 2017. In July, a prominent political analyst and government critic, Kem Ley, was assassinated in broad daylight, supposedly over a debt dispute. Removing opposition After the opposition performed well in the 2017 commune council elections, Hun Sen and the CPP moved definitively against the CNRP. In September, Kem Sokha, the new leader, was arrested on treason charges and several other senior politicians fled into exile. Two months later, the Supreme Court dissolved the CNRP completely, paving the way for national elections in 2018 that have been rejected as illegitimate by the EU and US government. Hun Sen is facing calls for sanctions against his inner circle, but appears to be pushing ahead to consolidate control. Analysts say he is grooming his three sons - all of whom are in powerful positions either in the party, military or government - to take the reins when he eventually steps down. But no one knows when that might be.",

Three other Britons and the pilot were injured on the tour of the canyon but they were not rescued until some eight hours later on Sunday morning. Ms Dobson's father, Peter Dobson, told the Press Association his daughter was \"full of life\" and \"always happy\". The group were away celebrating Stuart's 30th birthday, Mr Dobson said. He added the couple were \"really happy together\" and \"just enjoyed being with each other\". \"The whole thing is just terrible.\" Britons Ellie Milward, 29, Jonathan Udall, 32, and Jennifer Barham, 39, were injured in the crash, along with pilot Scott Booth, 42, police said. Witnesses told local reporters they had seen survivors running away from the crash site and shouting. It is not clear what caused the crash and witnesses say rescue efforts have been hampered by high winds. The helicopter crashed on Saturday evening and survivors were not rescued until the early hours of Sunday morning. The youngest of the victims, Ms Dobson, worked as a veterinary receptionist for Vets 4 Pets in Worthing, West Sussex. In her profile on the practice's website, she described her love for animals, as well as her dream of becoming a veterinary nurse. \"I also love to travel the world and explore what is out there beyond good old Worthing,\" she said. The practice paid tribute to Ms Dobson, saying her colleagues were \"devastated\" by her loss. Jason Hill worked as a corporate lawyer for Shoosmiths LLP in its Milton Keynes office. The firm's chief executive, Claire Rowe, said he was well respected and loved by all those who worked with him. \"He was hardworking, full of energy and enjoyable to work with, and we are greatly saddened by the news of his death and that of his brother Stuart,\" she added. Gabby Hart, a local news reporter for the station KSNV, said it had taken more than eight hours for the survivors to be removed from the site because of the terrain and high winds. She told BBC Radio 5 Live: \"We are told by witnesses and also by rescuers that people were trying to help once they saw this accident happen, they couldn't get down to the helicopter quick enough. \"They [the survivors] had to receive care there on site until emergency crews were able to remove them from the scene.\" The chief of the local Hualapai Police, Francis Bradley, called the incident \"very tragic\" and described the terrain as \"extremely rugged\". He added rescue efforts had been hampered by severe weather conditions and gusts of up to 50mph. In a statement, Brenda Halvorson, the chief executive of the helicopter company involved - Papillon Airways - said the company extended its heartfelt sympathy to the families of the dead and injured. On its website, Papillon calls itself \"the world's largest aerial sightseeing company\" and says it flies more than 600,000 people a year. The Grand Canyon, which is more than 1.6km (one mile) deep, is one of the most visited tourist attractions in the US. A UK Foreign Office spokesperson said: \"We are providing support to the families of six British visitors involved in a helicopter accident at the Grand Canyon on 10 February, and we are in close contact with the US emergency services.\"",

            "input": "By Ian PollockPersonal finance reporter, BBC News You caused \"massive distortions\". So next year you will be cut down to size - 45p in the pound. After counting the pounds and pennies for your first year of operation - 2010-11 - the HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) has decided you were not worth having after all. Chancellor George Osborne was gleeful in telling Parliament that you had raised only £1bn or so extra - rather less than the £2.5bn or so that Labour had predicted back in 2009. \"HMRC find that an astonishing £16bn of income was deliberately shifted into the previous tax year - at a cost to the taxpayer of £1bn, something that the previous government's figures made no allowance for whatsoever,\" the chancellor said. \"Self-assessment receipts this year are below forecast by some £3.6bn, while other tax receipts have held up.\" So is this true, and why did the Revenue take so long to come to that conclusion? The penny drops After all, this is what a variety of economists, business people, Tory MPs and some think tanks had been saying ever since the new 50p rate started in April 2010. In fact the HMRC was ordered by Mr Osborne last year to analyse the tax receipts for 2010-11. And these can only be scrutinised now because the self-assessment system means that about nine million taxpayers only paid the tax they owed for that year at the start of February this year. About 90% of these returns are now in. And the 300,000 or so additional rate taxpayers are almost certainly all going to be in the self-assessment system. The HMRC's main conclusion is that some wealthy people took much greater steps than anticipated to avoid paying the tax, at least in the first year. The main method was for owner-directors of companies to take dividends from investments in the previous tax year when the highest rate was still 40p in the pound. \"The conclusion that can be drawn from the self-assessment data is therefore that the underlying yield from the additional rate is much lower than originally forecast (yielding around £1bn or less), and that it is quite possible that it could be negative,\" HMRC said in its60-page report. Fast movers The latest figures are still estimates and the Revenue says there is a still a margin of uncertainty about its figures. They hinge not just on counting how much income tax came in for 2010-11, but trying to guess how much would have been garnered if the 40p rate had still been the top rate in force. One key problem highlighted for tax collectors is that these days it much easier for highly-paid people to simply move from one country to another to save tax. \"International labour mobility has increased in the last 15 to 20 years as both legal impediments and general migration costs have been reduced, which means the adverse affect of high rates of personal taxation on both inward and outward migration to the UK and tax revenues can be significant,\" HMRC says. Top earnings slump Much of the HMRC's report involves extrapolating from academic theories and past academic research to guess what the effect of the 50p rate might have been. But a key fact leaps out of chart 5.1 on page 27. The HMRC thinks that the total declared taxable income of those earning more than £150,000 a year slumped from £116bn in 2009-10, to £87bn in 2010-11. Not all of that can be attributed to a new 50p tax rate. But HMRC reckons some of it can. \"The model suggests that if the additional rate had not been introduced, total net incomes for those with incomes over £150,000 would have been around £107bn,\" it says. \"This compares with the observed total income figure of £87bn, a difference of £20bn.\" Why was that? We go back to the pre-emptive measures taken by people who could control their incomes. \"The analysis suggests that between £16bn and £18bn of income was brought forward to 2009-10 to avoid the additional rate of tax,\" HMRC says. \"The magnitude of the forestalling demonstrates how responsive high income taxpayers are to changes in tax rates.\" The final result Stripping out the effect of all this evasive action, the HMRC finally estimates that the \"true\" effect of the 50p rate was to increase the income tax take, but only by £1.1bn. Even that is uncertain, it says. And an alternative calculation suggests that the \"true\" tax take might in fact have fallen as a result of the 50p rate coming into effect. Ronnie Ludwig, of accountancy firm Saffery Champness, was not surprised by the Revenue's findings. And he warned that there might be more disappointing tax collection figures to come, with the 50p rate now about to live on for a third year. \"I am surprised at the delay in implementing the 45p rate for another year,\" he said. \"We will have another year of some people minimising their income and maximising their spending on items that are tax deductible,\" he added.",

            "input": "By Jon WilsonHistorian Founded as a home for the Britons who ruled India in the days of the Raj, its wood panels, leather armchairs and faint smell of mulligatawny soup convey an image of ordered dominance to which many now look back with nostalgia. That image still dominates our view of British rule, whether in dramas depicting emotionally constipated British officers like Channel 4's Indian Summers or features extolling the virtues of British power. It is present even in the most vehement criticisms of the Raj. Like the defenders of British rule, its fiercest detractors assume it was an effective system of government - they just think its power was malevolent, not benign. How Churchill 'starved' India Viewpoint: Britain must pay reparations to India Indian Summers exposes last days of the British Raj 'Never intended to rule' But this image of order and control is a fiction, which belies the reality of life in British India. For 200 years, from the mid 18th Century to independence and partition in 1947, the British presided over a regime that was chaotic, violent, driven by uncontrolled passions and profoundly wracked by anxiety. The British never intended to rule India. Their conquest was not driven by a strategy to spread their power, either in their own interests or that of the people they ruled. They first engaged with India as members of the monopolistic East India Company. From the start they were anxious about challenges to their position from other European merchants and Indian rulers. Trade always involved violence, with the company recruiting armies and building forts from the late 1600s. A combination of paranoid concerns about defence and the opportunity for military glory then created an impulse towards conquest from the mid 18th Century onwards. In practice, from the beginning to the end of Britain's empire, the British created a series of heavily fortified outposts, doing little more than what they thought was necessary to protect their power. Order and some level of public service was provided in imperial cities and district capitals where Britons resided, but there was no effective government machinery in much of Indian society. By contemporary standards, the size of the state was tiny, and the capacity for political action very limited. During the 19th and early 20th Centuries, British infrastructure was usually built as a panicked response to crisis; public works were not a measured effort to improve Indian society or even help British traders profit. Irrigation works were started in the 1850s only after a series of economic crises made the British worry about rebellion and diminishing taxes. Railways were only backed enthusiastically after the great rebellion of 1857 proved the need to be able to transport troops quickly across India to suppress dissent. Fear of political challenge In the middle of the 19th Century even British capitalists wanted the government in India to invest more, but British officials refused to act unless it would directly protect their power. The chaos of British rule helped turn late 19th Century India into one of the world's most famine-prone societies, as the political networks and mechanisms with which Indians supported each other in times of need were undermined by the British fear of political challenge. Famine relief was focused on protecting centres of British authority and keeping expenditure as low as possible. The initial strategy was to build famine camps to provide the starving with work far away from existing centres of settlement, so the poor didn't cluster and protest in imperial towns. British rule ended amid a cycle of violence sparked by the Raj's paranoid concerns about its own security. The 20th Century's two world wars turned India into a massive self-financing barracks essential to defend Britain's position throughout Asia - but it also racked up anxiety in the face of challenge. 'Existential crisis' The idea of dominating India had come to be woven into imperial families' very way of life; for some, any form of retreat involved a major existential crisis. The result was events like Gen Reginald Dyer's unplanned massacre of hundreds of people at Amritsar's Jallianwala Bagh in 1919, which undermined the belief of many Indian nationalists that they could negotiate with the Raj. The political strategy of Indian opponents to British rule was designed to create an ordered society in contrast to the chaos and violence they associated with imperial power. That, for example, was the aim of Mohandas Gandhi's strategy of non-violence. But amidst economic depression and world war, Indian society fragmented. The Raj's failure to provide protection to different social groups meant fear and a tendency towards retaliatory violence spread throughout north India. The end of World War Two was marked by mass poverty and an unprecedented social collapse. By 1946, Britons felt that their state could no longer uphold its core purpose, to maintain their own safety. The speed with which British officers fled India in 1947 was remarkable. For too long, we have been taken in by the self-justifying stories written by the Raj's retired officers in places like the Oriental Club, of the myth of order and firm government. When, after the Chilcot Inquiry, we so obviously see the chaotic consequences of unplanned violence in our own times, it is time those myths were finally laid to rest and we understood the reality of the Raj.

Such homes were established in the 19th and 20th centuries to house women and girls who became pregnant outside of marriage. Their children more often than not adopted or spent time in orphanages. It is a both a confused and confusing issue. At its heart are sometimes conflicting rights - including privacy, governed by different pieces of legislation, with worries about General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) thrown in for extra measure. The Mother and Baby Homes Commission, which is due to issue its final report on Friday, was set up under the 2004 Commission of Investigations Act, which says that records must be kept under wraps for 30 years. Part of the thinking behind this act was to cut costs and allow those giving evidence to a commission to do so without challenge and without legal representation. Their evidence, often given in private and confidentially, was simply listened to. Now that the Mother and Baby Homes bill is law, the estimated 60,000 digitalised files on the database of the commission, largely gathered from the records of Mother and Baby Homes over its five-year investigation, will be handed over to the National Archive and the child and family agency Tusla. But campaigners and some of those seeking more information about their own life story, including their natural mother and their adoption, believe that sealing the records will deny them an opportunity to find out more about themselves and their history. Ministers have repeated that it was never their intention to allow a dark period of Irish history to continue to be swept under the carpet or to deny people their rights. They believe that with cross-party parliamentary support it should be possible very quickly to allay the concerns of those affected. But those seeking their records are far from convinced and this is an issue that may well still end up in the courts.",

Michael Gallagher, whose son Aidan died in the attack, is taking legal action against former Northern Ireland Secretary of State Theresa Villiers. The case was due to be heard at the High Court in Belfast. Proceedings were adjourned to February 2019 after issues of national security were raised in a closed session. Acknowledging the delay was \"frustrating\", Mrs Justice Keegan told victims' relatives it is \"a very important case, and it's important to get it right for everybody's sake.\" The case centres on claims that intelligence from British security agents, MI5 and RUC officers could have been drawn together to prevent the bombing. Mr Gallagher launched his legal action after Ms Villiers rejected calls for a public inquiry back in September 2013. She decided instead that a probe by Police Ombudsman Michael Maguire was the best way to address any outstanding issues surrounding the outrage. In October 2014 Dr Maguire published a report where he found RUC Special Branch withheld some intelligence information from detectives hunting the bombers. No one has ever been convicted of carrying out the attack. The latest judicial review proceedings were caught up in arguments over holding partially closed hearings amid fears the disclosure of sensitive material could damage national security. Following a series of previous adjournments, the judge had listed the case for full hearing this week - a month short of the 20th anniversary of the bombing. It was expected that emails between FBI spy David Rupert, who infiltrated the Real IRA, and his handlers, would feature in the challenge.

            "input": "Economists were forecasting that borrowing would hold steady. The latest figures are a set back for Chancellor George Osborne, who in March pledged to cut the budget deficit by more than 10% over the next 12 months. Between April and September borrowing was £58bn, a rise of £5.4bn compared with the same period last year. That is an increase of 10.3%. Last month's figures showed borrowing between April and August was 6% higher than a year earlier. Analysis: Simon Jack, Business correspondent, BBC News Plans to reduce the deficit are getting further off track. The government has so far borrowed 10% more this year than it did at the same time last year. It means the chancellor has no room for manoeuvre as he prepares his pre-election tax and spending plans, due to be announced in early December. There were some bright spots for him - stamp duty is 25% up on the year - but income tax was flat, despite a record breaking fall in unemployment since last year, suggesting job growth has been in low-paid work. The deficit has come down a third since 2010, but the progress has stalled and this year is heading in the wrong direction. \"We have seen stronger growth in receipts this month, but as today's figures show, the impact of the great recession is still being felt in our economy and the public finances,\" a Treasury spokesman said. \"At the same time, we have to recognise that the UK is not immune to the problems being experienced in Europe and other parts of the world economy.\" Poor run Economists say the borrowing situation will limit the government's options in the run-up to next year's election. \"The continued run of poor UK public borrowing figures looks set to severely hamper the chancellor's ability to announce giveaways to address his party's deficit in the national opinion polls before next year's general election,\" said Samuel Tombs, senior economist at Capital Economics. \"The chancellor will be forced to acknowledge in December's Autumn Statement that the fiscal consolidation is not going to plan, limiting his scope to announce pre-election sweeteners.\" Weak income tax receipts are behind the rising dependence on borrowing, in the first half of the fiscal year receipts were up just 0.1% compared to the same period last year. \"Income tax receipts have been held back by weak earnings growth and the fact that much of the employment growth has been in low paid jobs or in self-employment,\" said Howard Archer, chief UK economist at IHS Global Insight. The chancellor's move to increase the amount people can earn tax free is also depressing tax receipts. The UK Personal Allowance - the amount you can earn in the UK before having to pay any tax - has risen during the current Parliament from £6,500 to its current level of £10,000. From next April, it is due to rise to £10,500. Reacting to the borrowing figures, shadow chief secretary to the Treasury, Chris Leslie said: \"These figures are a serious blow to George Osborne. Not only is he set to break his promise to balance the books by next year, but borrowing in the first half of this year is now 10% higher than the same period last year.\"",

He said delaying the decision to go ahead would increase the overall cost. \"My own party may well as a result of that... have to look at whether we maintain our position on Trident.\" He said that if there was to be no decision for five years and if the cost would fall solely on the defence budget at the cost of other military capability \"then we are going to have to think seriously about whether or not there is another way... of maintaining Britain's deterrent, without the huge cost cutting expenditure on the rest of our armed forces.\" When he was challenged by the Defence Secretary Liam Fox on his apparent change of position, Mr Ainsworth said that if Labour did not examine its stance on Trident it would be seen as putting its head in the sand. 'National interest' Mr Ainsworth's comments comes just over a month after he rejected calls from his former ministerial aide Eric Joyce for a rethink of Labour's policy on Trident. The pair clashed at a fringe meeting at Labour's annual conference, with Mr Joyce accusing his former boss of being to the right of the Conservatives on the issue and of \"personally\" blocking a full review of Labour's foreign and defence policy, including Trident, when Labour was in power. Mr Ainsworth firmly rejected the claim and said he had done his best to generate debate among Labour MPs about the future of Britain's nuclear deterrent when Labour passed legislation committing the UK to replacing Trident, when Mr Ainsworth was a government whip. He had earlier accused the Liberal Democrats of \"immaturity\" and threatening the national interest, after Lib Dem defence minister Nick Harvey said delaying the final decision on replacing Trident until after the next general election would turn it into a political \"hot potato\" for Labour. Former Prime Minister Gordon Brown was at pains to stress Labour's commitment to Trident ahead of the general election, but his successor as Labour leader, Ed Miliband, has indicated that although he remains committed to maintaining a constant nuclear deterrent, he would be prepared to review a \"like-for-like\" replacement of Trident. Aircraft carriers In a separate development, The Treasury has published the letter from BAE Systems chief executive, Ian King, to the prime minister explaining that it would cost the government more to cancel two new aircraft carriers than to build them. Chancellor George Osborne reluctantly agreed to fund the two carriers, even though the UK will not have planes to fly on them for at least 10 years following the cancellation of the Harrier jump jet and one of the ships will be immediately mothballed. The letter says the deal to build the ships \"was underpinned by an agreement with MOD that in return for a guaranteed level of funded work, we (BAE) would sustain in the UK the key capabilities needed for warship design, development, build, integration and support and would rationalise and transform the business.\" It says \"If both carriers are completed the cost will be £5.2bn. If Prince of Wales is cancelled, the direct cost of the programme will be £4.8bn. However in these circumstances, and under Treasury rules and the agreements I have outlined, there will be consequential costs, including those related to rationalisation, which we estimate would amount to £690m. \" The letter goes on: \"the cancellation of Prince of Wales would mean that production in all BAE systems shipyards would cease at the end of 2012. \"There is no further production work planned until steel is due to be cut on the new frigate programme in 2016. \"This means that the business would be unsustainable, and all three yards would have to close by early 2013, with the loss of more than 5,000 jobs in BAE systems and many more across the UK in hundreds of companies in the supply chain. \"In practice that means the end of the UK's capability in complex warships and would bring the sector to a halt.\"",

            "input": "Lawyers for the prisoners say the \"assembly-line\" of four double lethal injections is unconstitutional. Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson last month ordered the death row inmates to be killed before the state's execution drugs expire. Arkansas has not executed an inmate since 2005. No US state has put eight inmates to death in such an accelerated schedule since the US Supreme Court reinstated the death penalty in 1976. What did the eight men do? Bruce Ward - Convicted of 1989 strangling murder of teenage shop clerk Rebecca Doss Don Davis - Condemned for 1990 execution-style killing of Jane Daniel as he burgled her home Stacey Johnson - Found guilty of 1993 murder of Carol Heath, who was beaten, strangled and had her throat slit Ledell Lee - Sentenced to death for 1993 killing of Debra Reese, who was bludgeoned with a tyre iron that her husband had given her for protection Jack Jones - Condemned for 1995 rape and murder of accounts clerk Mary Phillips, and the nearly fatal beating of her 11-year-old daughter Marcel Williams - Sentenced to death for 1994 rape and murder of Stacey Erickson, after kidnapping her from a convenience store Kenneth Williams - Convicted of 1999 murder of farmer Cecil Boren during an escape from prison where Williams had been incarcerated for murdering cheerleader Dominique Hurd Jason McGehee - Jailed for the death of 15-year-old John Melbourne, who had been his friend In the latest legal action in the case, one of men, Stacey Eugene Johnson, asked the state's highest court on Wednesday to block his execution so evidence from his murder trial can be retested. Attorneys for another of the convicted murderers, Bruce Ward, asked a state judge to block his execution, saying the prisoner is not mentally competent. A group of former corrections officers wrote to the governor on Tuesday to say the pace of the executions threatens prison staff's mental health. Two other lawsuits filed this week seek preliminary injunctions to halt the executions, arguing the inmates need time to appeal against their convictions. Lawyers also argue that state authorities are unconstitutionally hurrying the clemency process. \"The state can show no valid reason it cannot schedule executions at a pace that would allow for meaningful review,\" said one of the lawsuits. The convicted killers are also asking the US Supreme Court to review a ruling allowing the state to keep its source for the execution drugs a secret. Arkansas has scheduled the executions for 17, 20, 24 and 27 April, citing a shortage of a drug used in lethal injections. The state's supply of midazolam, a sedative used in its three-drug lethal injection cocktail, is nearing its expiration date. The sedative has become increasingly scarce as anti-capital punishment drug-makers refuse to supply it to corrections officials. Midazolam has been blamed for botched executions in Oklahoma, Ohio and Arizona. Lawyers have argued that use of the sedative amounts to cruel and unusual punishment, which is banned under the US constitution. The condemned prisoners are Bruce Ward, Don Davis, Stacey Johnson, Ledell Lee, Jack Jones, Marcel Williams, Kenneth Williams and Jason McGehee. The state parole board has recommended clemency requests by Johnson and Lee be rejected. Further parole hearings are due this week.",

It said Austria was facing an \"extreme situation\" because of a rise in the number of people seeking asylum there.

The rally was held on May Day by the neo-Nazi Workers Party of Social Justice. The photo has since gone viral. \"I wasn't afraid,\" Lucie told the BBC by telephone from her school. \"I went to the counter-demonstration as someone who was determined to change things. To me it makes sense to try and change the world around me,\" she went on. \"I think young people should get involved in such things. They should be aware of what's going on. \"You ask me if standing up to skinheads should be left to older people - well us, younger people, are going to be living here a lot longer than the older generation.\" Lucie explained the argument with the unnamed man had been over refugees and migrants. She said she had told him that countries had a duty to help those fleeing war and conflict, and that in such cases borders did not exist. He told her she would be raped by the very people she was trying to save. \"The main thing that's struck me is that some people are now calling me an 'extremist', that being anti-fascist is somehow 'extremist',\" she told the BBC. \"That seems to be me the height of absurdity.\" Stand-off photos that went viral in recent years Saffiyah Khan (left) was snapped smiling at an English Defence League (EDL) protester in the British city of Birmingham in April. This Black Lives Matter protest photo of Ieshia Evans standing up to US police in July 2016 has been hailed as \"legendary\". In Sweden, activist Tess Asplund was photographed with her fist raised to defy a uniformed march of neo-Nazis in May 2016. Hijab-wearing Zakia Belkhiri took a cheeky selfie with anti-Islam group protesters in Antwerp, Belgium, also in May 2016. A series of images of a woman in a red dress tear-gassed by riot police in Istanbul in 2013 became a potent symbol of the anti-government demonstrations in Turkey. Vladimir Cicmanec, the fellow demonstrator who snapped the image, said he had been inspired by recent viral photos of people standing up to fascism. \"I didn't see the argument from the beginning - I was looking in another direction and a friend patted me on the shoulder - but I was just a few metres away from them,\" said Vladimir, who described himself as a computer programmer and amateur photographer. \"I immediately thought of that photo of the girl from Birmingham and said to myself - this could be an interesting image too. So I starting snapping away.\" Vladimir pointed out the neo-Nazi rally was outnumbered about two-to-one by anti-fascist demonstrators. Lucie, meanwhile, said she was not concerned about her physical safety. \"Even if something had happened to me, physical wounds always heal in the end,\" she told the BBC. \"But if I'd kept silent or if I'd decided not to get involved, it would have left a wound inside me that would never have healed.\"",

            "input": "By Paul RinconScience editor, BBC News website The crabs reproduce by releasing many larvae into the water so that a handful reach other vents and colonise them. But it is thought that they survive for only a short time in open waters; so a strong west-to-east current around Antarctica may have aided their spread. The animal was discovered in 2011. The \"Hoff\" is a type of yeti crab, which is recognised for its hairs, or setae, along its claws and limbs. It lives in one of the most extreme environments on the planet; more than 2,000m under the sea where volcanic vents superheat the water to 380C and there is no light and very little oxygen. The crab feeds by \"farming\" bacteria on its hairy chest, then using special comb-like mouthparts to strain off the microbes so that it can eat them. The crustacean's humorous nickname honours the hairy-chested US actor and singer David Hasselhoff. In a study published in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B, Dr Christopher Roterman and colleagues propose that the \"Hoff crab\" probably originated around the vents that populate mid-ocean ridges in the eastern Pacific Ocean. It then expanded into the Atlantic through the Drake Passage that separates South America and Antarctica, spreading along volcanic vent regions that are now extinct. The crab appears to have exploited the ocean current known as the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC), which flows in a clockwise direction, west to east around Antarctica, through Drake Passage. The crabs can occur at astonishing densities around vents in the southern part of their range. But at the volcanic vents of the south-west Indian ridge, for example, the crabs only occur at low densities and are swamped by other vent animals. Dr Roterman, a zoologist at the University of Oxford, said the exact reasons for this were unclear, but it could have something to do with the crab's reproductive strategy. \"We suspect their [larvae] dispersal capability may be limited,\" he told BBC News. \"The fact they have spread so quickly in the Southern Ocean is because the ACC provides a high-speed highway for their larvae. \"But when they head further north, we think they may have a disadvantage against other hydrothermal vent animals.\" This part of the research is only at a preliminary stage, said Dr Roterman, but examinations of the crab's larvae reveal they resemble miniature versions of the adult animal. However, these lack a functional mouth and have a small yolk sac. This suggests they may only be able to survive for short times in the water. Analysis of the DNA of yeti crabs - including the Hoff variety - suggests these crustaceans began to expand and diversify about 40 million years ago. Some scientists had wondered whether the animals living around volcanic vents were relic species, largely unaffected by environmental changes on land and shallower parts of the ocean. But most of the species living around volcanic vents today appear to have radiated within the last 55 million years. The reasons for this are unclear, but a period of intense global warming spanning several million years that dramatically reduced deep-sea oxygen levels globally could be to blame. This event is known as the Palaeocene-Eocene thermal maximum and is marked by a rise in global temperatures of 6C. The causes remain unclear but the initial changes could have been amplified by a massive release into the atmosphere of methane stored in icy deposits on the ocean floor. The latest paper appears to confirm a picture in which the inhabitants of deep-sea vents may be periodically wiped out and the vents only repopulated by a wave of new species once conditions become favourable again. During episodes of extreme climate warming, circulation between the well oxygenated surface waters and those deeper down is thought to decline, leading to the gradual depletion of oxygen in the deep sea. \"Yeti crabs and other such creatures may in fact be especially prone to extinction when there is less oxygen available in the deep ocean,\" said Dr Roterman. \"This is because if deep-sea ocean oxygen levels fall, the amount of oxygen available to these animals, that already live in an oxygen-poor environment at the limits of their physiological tolerance, may drop below the minimum level at which they can survive. \"They would face the stark choice of 'suffocate or starve'.\" Paul.Rincon-INTERNET@bbc.co.uk and follow me on Twitter",

Police condemned the CPS decision as \"wrong\", and the Labour Party has suspended the 86-year-old peer. Lord Janner \"is entirely innocent of any wrongdoing\", his family has said. A retired High Court judge will now review the CPS's handling of the case. 'Extremely disappointing' More than a dozen individuals made allegations to police relating to Greville Janner, the CPS said. The \"core allegation\" was that as MP for Leicester West at the time, Lord Janner befriended the manager of a children's care home to allow him access to children so he could \"perpetrate serious sexual offences on children\", the CPS said. Leicestershire Police interviewed more than 2,000 people throughout the course of their investigation, and a \"comprehensive file of evidence\" was submitted to the CPS. In a statement, Director of Public Prosecutions Alison Saunders said there was enough evidence to charge him with: She said the CPS were \"wrong\" not to prosecute the Cardiff-born peer following investigations in 1991 and 2007. \"The police made the decision not to pursue Greville Janner in 2002, which again we have looked at and in our view it was wrong,\" she told the BBC's World at One. \"There are real lessons to be learnt... if we had the evidence we now have earlier, I think the position would have been very different when Greville Janner's medical condition was not as it is today,\" Ms Saunders said. Lord Janner was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease in 2009, the CPS said. Assistant Chief Constable Roger Bannister of Leicestershire Police said the force had invited the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) to look into \"what happened in the early 2000s\" and inquiries are ongoing. \"Why was the decision different? Could it have been? Should it have been? If that's the case then I would be the first to say that's regrettable,\" ACC Bannister said. Last year a former detective sergeant with Leicestershire Police, Mick Creedon - now chief constable of Derbyshire Police - told a national newspaper that in 1989 he was ordered not to arrest Lord Janner and not to search his home. Responding to the CPS's decision, the force said it was \"worried\" about its impact. ACC Bannister said he believed it was \"the wrong one\" and it would do little to support and encourage victims of sexual abuse to come forward. He said: \"I am extremely worried about the impact the decision not to prosecute him will have on those people [who came forward]. \"More widely I am worried about the message this decision sends out to others, both past and present, who have suffered and are suffering sexual abuse. \"We are exploring what possible legal avenues there may be to challenge this decision, and victims themselves have a right to review under a CPS procedure.\" One man, whose claims that he was assaulted by the peer were investigated by Leicestershire Police, said the decision was a disgrace and \"if he was an everyday person with a normal life and job, justice would [have] been served\". Shadow Chancellor Ed Balls has said Labour \"acted swiftly and decisively\" to suspend Lord Janner from the party following the CPS announcement. He said the allegations were \"very serious\" but he understood the CPS's decision. But Sir Clive Loader, Leicestershire Police and Crime Commissioner, said the decision was \"not just wrong\" but \"wholly perverse\" and \"contrary to any notion of natural justice\". Explaining its decision, the CPS said there is no treatment for Lord Janner's condition and there is no current or future risk of offending. His condition is \"rapidly becoming more severe\" and requires continuous care both day and night, the statement said. \"His evidence could not be relied upon in court and he could not have any meaningful engagement with the court process, and the court would find it impossible to proceed.\" Ms Saunders said the decision will be \"extremely disappointing to complainants\" and she has written to all of them. Last year the CPS announced it was considering evidence against Lord Janner as part of an inquiry into allegations of historical child abuse. The investigation was linked to Frank Beck, who was found guilty of sexually and physically abusing more than 100 children in the 1970s and 1980s. Beck, who ran children's homes in Leicestershire, was given five life prison sentences and died in jail. Clive Coleman, BBC Legal Correspondent The Code for Crown Prosecutors says that, when assessing if a prosecution is in the public interest, consideration should be given \"as to whether the suspect is, or was at the time of the offence, suffering from any significant mental or physical ill health as in some circumstances this may mean that it is less likely that a prosecution is required\". If they cannot understand the difference between guilty and not guilty, cannot give instructions to their lawyers and so cannot test the evidence against them, prosecutors will not generally charge them. That is small comfort to the alleged victims of Greville Janner, but it is the system operating to ensure that the mentally frail do not face unfair trials that they cannot comprehend. An NSPCC spokesman said \"something went badly wrong\" in the way the allegations were handled and \"we need to be reassured this will never happen again\". In a statement Lord Janner's family described him as a \"man of great integrity and high repute with a long and unblemished record of public service\". \"As the Crown Prosecution Service indicated today, this decision does not mean or imply that any of the allegations that have been made are established or that Lord Janner is guilty of any offence,\" the family said. In 1991, Lord Janner made statements in Parliament asserting his innocence after a man claimed he had abused him. He will remain a member of the House of Lords until his death or until he formally retires under reforms passed last year. Retired High Court Judge Sir Richard Henriques will conduct an independent review into the CPS's decision making and how it handled the case, she said.",

He said lessons learned from the review would benefit all age groups. In the past 10 years, 163 children and young people under the age of 24 have died in prison. Mr Grayling said: \"Although there are already comprehensive investigations into individual deaths we recognise there is benefit at this time in collating lessons that may be system-wide.\" He said the review would make recommendations for cutting the risk of future deaths. The review will be led by the Labour peer Lord Harris of Haringey, who is chairman of the Independent Advisory Council on Deaths in Custody. No under-18s Justice Minister Lord Faulks told the House of Lords that the review would start \"as soon as resources were in place\". He said the government wanted it to report back by spring 2015. \"It does not mean that lessons are not continuously learned from all other sources that provide information,\" he said. \"The review will focus on key themes including vulnerability information sharing and the safety of young people.\" The former chief inspector of prisons, Lord Ramsbotham, said he regretted that the review covered only those aged 18-24 and not those under 18 as well. He said the government's plans to build secure colleges for under-18s and its policy of putting all over-18s in adult prisons could \"exacerbate existing flaws and create significant risk to young lives\". 'Relentless' Campaigners had pressed the government to set up an inquiry, arguing that doing so could address systemic failings in a way that individual inquests could not. Justice Minister Jeremy Wright initially rejected the calls but later agreed to reconsider. The charity Inquest, which was among those calling for an independent review, said that of the three under-18s who had died in prison since 2011, two were being monitored for suicide and self-harm at the time of their deaths. In the same period, 41 people aged 18-24 died in prison from self-inflicted causes. Inquest said 14 of these people, accounting for more than a third of the total, were being monitored for suicide and self-harm when they died. Common features among children and young people who have died in prison from self-inflicted causes are diagnoses of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), special educational needs, and personality and other disorders. Before the decision to establish a review was announced, Deborah Coles, co-director of Inquest, said: \"The state has frequently been put on notice about the scandal of deaths of children and young people in custody and yet has failed to act. \"The relentless nature of these deaths is shocking enough but the recurrence of depressingly familiar failings year after year should give most cause for alarm. \"Investigations and inquests are held in isolation, limited in remit and cannot address the wider systemic failures in state care both within and outside prisons.\" 'Fortified schools' Speaking to BBC News before the review was announced on Thursday, Lisa Courtney - whose son Ben was 18 when he hanged himself at Portland Young Offenders Institution - said more light should be thrown on failures by such institutions. Her son suffered from learning difficulties and ADHD, but she said his medical notes were never sent to Portland. \"Prisons are about punishment but they are not only about punishment,\" she said. \"They are about correction. \"Ben was neglected, Ben was just left in a cell to die, left in a cell to hang himself. \"Something is going wrong in there.\" Campaigners argue that the number of children and young people dying in custody means that the state is failing in its obligation to protect life under Article 2 of the Human Rights Act. Meanwhile, the Ministry of Justice has announced plans to spend £85m building a secure college in Leicestershire that will hold up to 320 young people in custody. This is planned to be the first step towards several other \"fortified schools\" that will eventually cater for the vast majority of young offenders.",

Dressed in black fatigues and baseball caps the police may look similar but their accents give away the fact they have come from across the UK. As we approached the resort's shore, all our boats became a honey pot for the worker bees in their ribs, but at this stage it was pleasantries and not stings. I ask the officers where they are from, one crew is from London and the last time they used their boat was at the Olympics. They are happy to swap pleasantries and to remind us that soon the area we are in will be out of bounds. Two others we encounter are operated by PSNI officers from the boat section and they were happy for us to film, once they had put their helmets on to hide their faces. All the crews are based at the Lough Erne Yacht Club on the opposite shore to the G8 conference site. When our skipper took us inshore, we saw a row of ten high-powered boats tied up, all ready to police the no access area, and moored in front of them a row of cruisers hired from a local company to provide sleeping accommodation. US Marines But of particular interest are two larger grey boats on trailers on the shore. We hear those are owned and manned by the US marines and are part of back-up plans, apparently factored into worst case scenarios in relation to the most high-profile G8 attendee, President Obama. Our boat is ushered away firmly as we outlive our welcome and it is back to the lough. The officers will patrol an inner and outer cordon marked by large yellow buoys put in place on Saturday, and enforced for three days over the conference period. The inner cordon, which is within sight of the golf course of the Lough Erne resort, is made up of a linked boom and net, but the main line of defence is the police boats. The net, it is rumoured, is to stop divers but it would be quite a swim for anyone planning that as a form of protest. We get the view of the bunker-sloped green of one of the holes on the Lough Erne resort, and sitting below it, the incongruous vision of a white armoured Land Rover. Clearly the green keepers may have some additional work to do once the G8 summit is all over. And as for Lough Erne itself, it hasn't seen so much powerful machinery on its waters since the 1940s, when the flying boats used it to hunt down the unseen enemy of that era, the German U-boat fleet.",

            "input": "By Althea Williams and Sarah Ehrlich BBC News In February 1943, 11-year-old Simon Gronowski was sitting down for breakfast with his mother and sister in their Brussels hiding place when two Gestapo agents burst in. They were taken to the Nazis' notorious headquarters on the prestigious Avenue Louise, used as a prison for Jews and torture chamber for members of the resistance. Today, Gronowski lives a two-minute walk from this building, where he was held for two nights without food or water. \"My parents had made a mistake - only one, but a serious one, which was… to have been born Jewish - a crime that, at the time, could only be punished by death,\" he says. From there, Simon and his mother and sister were transferred to the Kazerne Dossin, a detention camp 30 miles away in Mechelen, Flanders. \"People were randomly hit sometimes just for the crime of 'looking Jewish', so you had to keep a low profile,\" says Gronowski. \"For the smallest infraction, we could be beaten up and locked in a cell until we were deported. Sometimes they collectively punished the entire room of 100 of us, or make us stand in the courtyard for hours, day or night whatever the weather.\" Most of the prisoners knew they would be deported but had no idea, Gronowski says, that they would be executed en masse. On 18 April, Simon and 1,630 others, including his mother, Chana, were informed they would be deported by train the next day. His father, Leon, had been in hospital when the Germans had raided their home a month before. His mother had quickly thought to tell them she was a widow. His older sister Ita - born in Belgium and already 18 - had Belgian citizenship and was therefore taken in a separate convoy. Simon, who like his parents and most of Belgium's Jewish population was stateless, remembers seeing her for the last time, crying and waving to him as they left. \"I didn't really understand what was going on and what deportation would mean. I was still in my own little world, where I was a boy scout,\" he says. \"I thought to myself, 'Goodbye my Brussels, my Belgium, my father, my dear sister, my family and my friends'.\" Conditions inside the train were atrocious. \"We were packed like a herd of cattle. We had only one bucket for 50 people. How could we use it? How could we empty it? Besides, it would have been impossible to get to it,\" says Gronowski. \"There was no food, no drink. There were no seats so we either sat or lay down on the floor. I was in the rear right corner of the car, with my mother. It was very dark. There was a pale gleam coming from a vent in the roof but it was stifling and there was no water to be had.\" Soon after leaving Mechelen, the 20th convoy was attacked by three young members of the Belgian Resistance armed with one pistol, red paper and a lantern. They made a red light, a sign for danger ahead, forcing the train driver to brake sharply. This was the first and only time during World War II that any Nazi transport carrying Jewish deportees was stopped. Robert Maistriau, one of the resistance members, recalled that terrifying moment later in his memoirs. \"The brakes made a hellish noise and at first I was petrified. But then I gave myself a jolt on the basis that if you have started something you should go through with it. I held my torch in my left hand and with my right, I had to busy myself with the pliers. I was very excited and it took far too long until I had cut through the wire that secured the bolts of the sliding door. I shone my torch into the carriage and pale and frightened faces stared back at me. I shouted Sortez Sortez! and then Schnell Schnell flehen Sie! Quick, Quick, get out of here!\" After a brief shooting battle between the German train guards and the three Resistance members, the train started again. Some had escaped from the opened wagon and the mood among the remaining deportees had changed. Those who had dreamed of escape suddenly become more determined and more desperate. An hour later, men in Simon's wagon succeeded in breaking open the door. Cool air flowed into the stifling, crowded carriage. Chana Gronowski gave her son a 100-franc note which he rolled and slid into his sock, then she pushed towards the door. Simon was too small to reach the footrail beneath the door by himself, so his mother lowered him down by his shoulders. \"My mother held me by my shirt and my shoulders. But at first, I did not dare to jump because the train was going too fast for me,\" he says. \"I saw the trees go by and the train was getting faster. The air was crisp and cool and the noise was deafening. I remember feeling surprised that it could go so fast with 35 cars being towed. But then at a certain moment, I felt the train slow down. I told my mother: 'Now I can jump.' She let me go and I jumped off. First I stood there frozen, I could see the train moving slowly forward - it was this large black mass in the dark, spewing steam.\" But the train slowed to a stop for a second time that night and the German guards began shooting again, this time in Simon's direction. \"I wanted to go back to my mother but the Germans were coming down the track towards me. I didn't decide what to do, it was a reflex. I tumbled down a small slope and just started running for the trees.\" Simon walked and ran all night, through woods and over fields. \"I was used to the woods because I'd been in the cub scouts. I hummed In the Mood to calm myself, which was a song my sister used to play on the piano,\" he says. Simon wanted to get to Brussels and his father, Leon. Simon knew he risked arrest but, by dawn, he knew that he would need help. With torn, muddy clothes, he knocked on a village door and told the woman who answered that he had been playing with friends and had got lost. At the time, Belgians who failed to turn in Jews to the Gestapo would be shot and the woman took Simon to the local police officer. For the first time, Simon was terrified. \"The sight of this man in his uniform with his gun in his belt, terrorised me. I was sure he would bring me back to the Germans. He asked me what had happened and I kept telling him that I had got lost and I was playing with children and that now, I had to go to Brussels.\" The policeman, Jan Aerts had guessed Simon came from the Auschwitz convoy. The bodies of three escapees were lying in the police station at that very moment. However, Aerts had no intention of betraying Simon. His wife fed him and gave him clean clothes. Aerts arranged for Simon to catch a train back to Brussels where he arrived that evening. Simon was reunited that night with his father, a shopkeeper, although they spent the remaining years of the war hidden separately by Catholic families. Chana Gronowski was sent to the gas chambers on arrival at Auschwitz-Birkenau. Simon's sister Ita, 18, arrived in Auschwitz on the next but one convoy, and also died there. In all, 25,483 Jews and 351 Roma were deported from Kazerne Dossin. Of the 233 people who attempted to escape from the 20th convoy with Simon Gronowski, 26 were shot that night, 89 were recaptured and 118 got away. The 20th convoy was unique in that there was an attempt to rescue the deportees. It was unique in being the only convoy from which there was what could be called a mass breakout. According to some sources, it was also unique in that although 70% of the women and girls were killed in the gas chambers immediately on arrival, the remaining women were sent to Block X of Birkenau for medical experimentation. As for the three young Belgian Resistance members who stopped the train, Youra Livschitz was captured later and executed. Jean Franklemon was arrested soon after and sent to Sachsenhausen concentration camp, where he was freed in May 1945. He died in 1977. Robert Maistriau was arrested in March 1944. He was liberated from Bergen-Belsen in 1945 and lived until 2008. Jan Aerts was declared a \"Righteous Gentile\" by the Yad Vashem museum in Jerusalem. Leon Gronowski died within months of the end of the war. Simon Gronowski paid his way through university. He chose to be a lawyer because, he says, the Nazis had tried to dispossess and demean him, and he saw the law as the best way of countering that. Today he lives in Brussels and still practises law. He has children and grandchildren. He plays jazz. For more than 50 years he hardly spoke about his past but Maxime Steinberg, a Belgian historian and specialist in the persecution of Jews in Belgium, persuaded him to write a book. He now also speaks regularly in schools. \"I speak about what happened to me so that you will protect freedom in your country,\" he explains to children. \"I want you to know that the most important words are 'peace' and 'friendship'. I speak to bear witness, to combat anti-Semitism, all forms of discrimination and Holocaust denial; to honour the dead and the heroes who saved my life - Jan Aerts, who risked certain death in protecting me, the Catholic families who hid me during the war, and my mother, the first of my heroes.\" Simon Gronowski's story, and those of many others, is also told in the new Kazerne Dossin Museum and Documentation Centre of the Holocaust and Human Rights, which opened in December. Built facing the actual transit centre - now an apartment block - the museum cost 25 million euros and was financed by the Flemish government. Its archives include 1,200 photos of the people on the 20th convoy.

They suspect the demise may be linked to climate change, although they have no direct evidence of this. The tree can grow to an enormous size, and may live hundreds if not thousands of years. The researchers, from universities in South Africa, Romania and the US, say the loss of the trees is \"an event of an unprecedented magnitude\". Revealing the findings in the journal Nature Plants, they say the deaths were not caused by an epidemic. \"We suspect that the demise of monumental baobabs may be associated at least in part with significant modifications of climate conditions that affect southern Africa in particular,\" said the team, led by Dr Adrian Patrut of Babes-Bolyai University in Romania. \"However, further research is necessary to support or refute this supposition.\" 'Shocking and very sad' The researchers have been visiting ancient trees across southern Africa since 2005, using radio carbon dating to investigate their structure and age. Unexpectedly, they found that eight of the 13 oldest and five of the six largest baobabs had either completely died or had their oldest parts collapse. Baobab trees have many stems and trunks, often of different ages. In some cases all the stems died suddenly. \"We suspect this is associated with increased temperature and drought,\" Dr Patrut told BBC News. \"It's shocking and very sad to see them dying.\" The trees that have died or are dying are found in Zimbabwe, Namibia, South Africa, Botswana and Zambia. They are all between 1,000 and more than 2,500 years old. Also known as \"dead-rat\" trees, after the shape of their fruit, baobab trees have stout, branchless trunks. They store large quantities of water inside their trunks to endure the harsh conditions of the arid areas in which they live. The trees also support wildlife; they are important nesting sites for birds. Follow Helen on Twitter.",

But emerging to cheers from his supporters on Wednesday, he was clearly undaunted by the verdict. Pavlensky told the crowd that they are living in a society controlled through \"uninterrupted terror\", that surveillance in Russia is on the rise but that people's own fear is making them prisoners. That was the stark message the artist wanted to send when he conceived \"Threat\" and selected the headquarters of Russia's powerful security service, the FSB, as his canvas - or target. The FSB's own CCTV cameras captured the moment early one November morning when he doused a door in petrol and set it alight. Pavlensky then stood motionless, fuel can in hand, as the flames rose behind him. Moments later, a police officer wrestled him to the ground. So was it art, or just plain arson? According to Pavlensky, everything from the fire onward was part of what he calls political art. He was transformed into a passive observer, while officials from police to prosecutors were drawn in to the action and exposed. Artist found guilty of tyre-burning protest Pushing the art of protest to new limits Activist sets fire to Lubyanka door Among those unwitting players were a prosecution expert who claimed that the FSB building was an object of cultural heritage because eminent cultural figures were held prisoner there during Stalin's repressions. Pavlensky's lawyers called two Soviet-era dissidents in response. \"It truly is a unique monument,\" one of the former political prisoners agreed. \"To the destruction of culture, and to Russian terror.\" The artist was escorted in handcuffs to every hearing by police and locked in a metal cage in court. When he addressed journalists during a break and spoke of state terror, a police dog snarled and slavered before his cage, straining its leash. So the half-a-million rouble (£5,400; $7,850) fine, plus a similar sum in damages, was a surprise. One commentator in Vedemosti newspaper suggested that the Kremlin wanted to avoid a repeat of the 2011 Pussy Riot scandal, when three women were imprisoned for their anti-Putin punk performance in a Moscow church. Pavlensky is friends with the group and his first \"action\" was to support them by sewing his lips together in a symbolic protest. Since then he's nailed himself to Red Square by the scrotum, wrapped himself in barbed wire and leaped naked onto the wall of a psychiatric institute to lop off his earlobe. Deliberately shocking, he has told me his work is designed to shake people out of what he calls their fear, apathy and indifference. To some Russians the result is daring, to others disgusting. Pavlensky has been called mad before and now he's officially a criminal. \"They're trying to label me: to say this is how a criminal, or a sick mind, views those in power,\" Pavlensky told me, before being whisked away by friends and family. \"It's a fight for a label: criminal or mad? But I am an artist. I am doing political art,\" he insisted. \"Nothing less, and nothing more.\" And he has vowed to go on with that, despite his sentence.

They come in the wake of controversial proposals to review maternity services in north Wales, being looked at by Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board. Dr Jones said a number of maternity units in Wales were not delivering enough babies to attract doctors because they did not meet training guidelines for out-of-hours deliveries. This led to an increase in vacancies at the maternity units, he said. He said: \"Now, although all our rotas are European Working Time Directive-compliant on paper, we know in practice they are only being maintained by significant expenditure. \"All of our health boards are spending hundreds of thousands of pounds in locum costs, agency costs, extra payments to doctors, to maintain these rotas. \"Betsi Cadwaladr Health Board is spending up to £1m a year to maintain their rotas. \"The difficulty is that this is not a safe or sustainable service, because you cannot always guarantee you'll get someone to fill a shift. \"If you do get someone, you can't always guarantee their experience or their competence. \"We know there are risks with peripatetic locums, and we know that this risk is increasing rapidly. \"So we realise that this is a major area of risk for these services as currently configured, and they will not be sustainable in the way they are configured in the future.\" Draft strategy Dr Eamon Jessop, a Prestatyn GP and member of the British Medical Association (BMA), said he wanted to know what Dr Jones meant by \"smaller maternity units\". He said the three units in north Wales, at Ysbyty Maelor, Wrexham, Ysbyty Glan Clwyd in Bodelwyddan, and Ysbyty Gwynedd, Bangor, were all \"small\" in that there were between 2,500 and 3,000 births a year. This compared to \"smallish\" units elsewhere where there would be around 4,000 births a year. The health board has said it was looking at options and aimed to provide \"high quality, safe and effective services\". A Welsh Assembly Government spokesperson said: \"The medical director of NHS Wales was responding to questions in an honest and transparent way, which reflected the views of the Royal College of Obstetricians. \"Last week, the assembly government published a draft strategy for maternity services for consultation, which sets out our vision of providing high quality, safe and sustainable maternity services across Wales. \"It will be for the health boards to produce their plans later this year, following full local engagement.\" Helen Rogers, director of the Royal College of Midwives in Wales, speaking on BBC Radio Wales, said she was \"slightly disappointed\" by Dr Jones's comments. \"One of the main concerns for me is that a message is going out that maternity services are unsafe and that is clearly not the case,\" she said. \"The vast majority of units in Wales, midwives are working extremely hard, we have got a rising birth rate but we have good staffing levels and any woman can be assured that going into any of the maternity services in Wales she will get good care. \"The midwives are not saying to me, as the director of the Royal College of Midwives, that their service is unsafe, they are not highlighting safety issues.\" Welsh Liberal Democrat health spokeswoman Veronica German said: \"What we are seeing is local health boards spending large sums of money on locum doctors who may not be experienced. \"This situation cannot continue, it is not good for the safety of pregnant women and it is not good for the budgets of our local health boards.\"",

            "input": "By Jayne McCormackBBC News NI Political Reporter The President of the European Parliament, David Sassoli, said there would be no agreement without a backstop in some form. But on Wednesday, Prime Minister Boris Johnson ruled out an NI-only backstop. The UK is due to leave the EU on 31 October without a deal unless both sides can reach a compromise. Mr Sassoli was speaking at a press conference after talks between the European Parliament's political group leaders and EU chief Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier. The parliament is not directly negotiating with the UK, but will vote on any final Brexit deal. UK officials have been in Brussels for meetings this week with Mr Barnier's team. Mr Sassoli said \"the signals we're getting are not indicating any [UK] initiative that would reopen the negotiations, and we're not happy about that\". He outlined points to be included in a European Parliament resolution on Brexit, to be voted on by MEPs next week. What is the backstop? It has proved to be the most contentious part of the Brexit negotiations. It is the insurance policy to avoid a hard border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland after Brexit, unless and until another solution is found. Westminster MPs rejected the backstop and withdrawal agreement negotiated by ex-PM Theresa May, which would have kept all of the UK in a \"temporary customs territory\" with the EU and would have seen Northern Ireland also continuing to follow other EU rules. The Democratic Unionists (DUP) had opposed it, saying it would create a border down the Irish Sea and risk the future of the union. There had been speculation in recent days that the UK was considering returning to the idea of a Northern Ireland-only backstop, which had originally been proposed by the EU in the early stages of the negotiations in 2017. The DUP had insisted it and No 10 would not back such a proposal as it would not have \"unionist consent\". After talks with Boris Johnson on Tuesday, the DUP said it was exploring all-island \"arrangements\" on food standards and animal safety as part of a solution to replace the backstop. Mr Sassoli said the European Parliament's draft resolution would say \"we are willing to go back to the original EU proposal\" of an NI-only backstop. \"You can't have an agreement without the backstop, it couldn't really be any clearer,\" he added. The resolution will also express MEPs' willingness to turn the political declaration on future EU-UK ties into \"a legally binding document\". 'Firmness and clarity' The next EU summit is due to take place on 17-18 October, just several weeks before the UK is due to leave the EU on 31 October. Mr Johnson has insisted he will not seek another extension to the deadline, and said the UK would be ready to leave with or without a deal. He has said he hopes a deal can be reached and that he has an \"abundance of proposals\" to replace the backstop - but has not detailed what they might be. The Irish government has said it would also be willing to look at a \"Northern Ireland-specific solution\". Mr Sassoli said the EU had \"reached a moment where we need to express our positions with firmness and clarity\". The parliament is willing to extend the deadline beyond 31 October \"provided it's something done for overriding reasons\", Mr Sassoli said, such as to avoid no deal or to hold a general election. The resolution will say that if the UK exits without a deal \"it will be entirely the responsibility of the UK\". What was the NI-only backstop? It would have kept Northern Ireland in the EU's customs union, which would have meant applying EU tariffs for goods entering NI from outside the EU customs union - including Great Britain. It would also have applied EU single market rules for goods and animal products in Northern Ireland. This would have got rid of the need for checks at the Irish border, but would have led to checks on goods passing between Northern Ireland and Great Britain. It was criticised by the DUP and other unionist parties for \"creating a border in the Irish Sea\" and posing a risk to the union. In February 2018, Theresa May said no prime minister could back such a proposal.",

But new housing projects contributed to a 1.6% increase in all new work during the month.

This revision could have a theoretical impact on the UK's overall rate of economic growth, the ONS said. It means the economy could have grown by 0.4% in the first quarter rather than 0.3% as previously forecast, and by 2.9% in 2014 rather than 2.8%.

Compared with a year earlier, construction output in April rose 1.5%, slowing from a rise of 5% in March. Construction accounts for 6.4% of Britain's economic output, so its impact on overall GDP can often be negligible when compared with the services sector, which accounts for 77% of economic growth. Even so, the slowdown in the economy economy in the first three months was seen in part as resulting from the weakness in the construction industry, which was linked to uncertainty ahead of the general election.

            "input": "By Matt McGrathEnvironment correspondent Manufacturers have long used silicon to make solar panels because the material was the most efficient at converting sunlight into electricity. But organic photovoltaics, made from carbon and plastic, promise a cheaper way of generating electricity. This new study shows that organics can now be just as efficient as silicon. What are organic solar cells? The term organic relates to the fact that carbon-based materials are at the heart of these devices, rather than silicon. The square or rectangular solid solar panels that most of us are familiar with, require fixed installation points usually on roofs or in flat fields. Organic photovoltaics (OPV) can be made of compounds that are dissolved in ink so they can be printed on thin rolls of plastic, they can bend or curve around structures or even be incorporated into clothing. What's stopped them becoming widely used? In a word - efficiency. This is a measure of how much of the sunlight that shines on a panel can be turned into usable electricity. Commercial solar photovoltaics usually covert 15-22% of sunlight, with a world record for a silicon cell of 27.3% reached in this summer in the UK. Organics have long lingered at around half this rate, but this year has seen some major leaps forward. In April researchers were able to reach 15% in tests. Now this new study pushes that beyond 17% with the authors saying that up to 25% is possible. This is important because according to estimates, with a 15% efficiency and a 20 year lifetime, organic solar cells could produce electricity at a cost of less than 7 cents per kilowatt-hour. In 2017, the average cost of electricity in the US was 10.5 cents per kilowatt-hour, according to the US Energy Information Administration. So what have these researchers done differently? One of the things that has made OPV less efficient in the past is the fact that the organic materials have loosely bound molecules which can trap electrons and slow down the generation of electricity. So researchers have tried to get around this by putting different layers of material together in a what's termed a tandem cell approach. \"Tandem cell means you have two devices built together in the same structure,\" said one of the authors, Dr Yongsheng Chen, from Nankai University in Tianjin, China. \"We have two layers of active materials, each layer can absorb different wavelengths of light. That means you can use sunlight in the wider wavelengths or more efficiently and this can generate more current.\" How far are these from commercial production? Not that far away according to the researchers. Dr Yongsheng Chen compares the OPV to organic light-emitting diodes, or OLED. This technology has been introduced in the past few years and is widely used for high-end TVs. \"These are already commercial, and they use a similar material to OPV,\" Dr Yongsheng Chen told BBC News. \"The physical principle is the same, just a different direction, one is from solar to electricity, the other from electricity to light, the device and structure are similar.\" \"I am very positive for OPV, and it may not need five years,\" he added. What type of application might we expect? Flexible, printed solar cells offer a wide range of possibilities. They can work indoors and they can be made semi-transparent, so they could be incorporated into windows and generate power during daylight. They offer huge potential for buildings as they are lightweight so might be ideal for deploying on the roofs of houses in developing countries where structures might not suit heavy silicon. They could be used on the roofs of cars, and in clothes, even in glasses to charge your phone while you are out and about. \"Their optional semi-transparency enables their use in windows or glass facade shading,\" said Dr Alexander Colsmann and expert on organic photovoltaics from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology. \"The very same properties render organic solar cells ideally suited to also power mobile applications - camping gear, smart wearables or phone chargers, just to name a few - which have been only insufficiently addressed by classical solar cell technologies such as silicon.\" What's been the reaction of others in the field? Other experts in this field were generally positive. \"This looks a remarkable result to me,\" said Dr Artem Bakulin, from Imperial College London. \"The development of such new materials with previously unthinkable properties allowed them to achieve the reported record efficiency and, in general, makes OPV technology much more promising.\" Dr Feng Gao from Linköping University in Sweden also believes the new paper is significant. \"This work is a very important contribution to organic solar cells and will certainly inspire new developments in the field,\" he said by email. \"The tandem organic solar cells with record efficiencies in this work indicate great potential of organic solar cells for practical applications.\"",

            "input": "By Anbarasan Ethirajan BBC News, Dhaka On 1 July Ms Parvin and her husband Hasnat Karim dined out at the Holey Artisan Cafe with their daughter and eight-year-old son. What followed was a 12-hour hostage drama as Islamist militants stormed the cafe, killing 20 people. Ms Parvin's husband ended up in custody after security forces ended the siege and has not been released. Answering questions submitted by the BBC in writing, Ms Parvin recounted the night's events and appealed to the Bangladeshi authorities to release Mr Karim, saying \"he has not done anything wrong\". She described how gunmen ordered the family to put their heads down on the table. They remained in that position most of the time. Bangladesh cafe siege: Fate of detained hostages 'unknown' Bangladesh cafe siege: The victims What we know: The Bangladesh bakery attackers Reciting the Koran During the night, not far from where the family was sitting, the militants killed nine Italians, seven Japanese, one US-Bangladeshi citizen, an Indian and two Bangladeshis. Ms Parvin says the gunmen did not harm them because they - along with a few other diners - were Muslims and could recite from the Koran. Almost 11 hours later the family's ordeal ended. The gunmen released the hostages before the army launched an assault, killing all five militants. As the hostages emerged from the compound, police took them away for debriefing. Ms Parvin's husband Hasnat Karim and another man Tahmid Khan, a Canadian-Bangladeshi, were the only ones taken into custody later for further interrogation. Neither of them have returned home. \"I really do not understand why the police are still holding him. He was a hostage along with family members,\" Ms Parvin told the BBC by email. \"He is a victim in all of this and has not been charged with any offence. \"My husband survived a horrifying ordeal in which several persons were murdered by armed terrorists. He has not done anything wrong.\" The 47-year-old Mr Karim has dual British-Bangladeshi citizenship. He lived in the UK for 21 years before going to the United States to study for an MBA. He then worked as a lecturer in Dhaka's North South University, later joining his father's construction firm. The Bangladeshi authorities have given conflicting accounts of Mr Karim's detention. Initially they told local media that they had kept him in custody but that he was released later on. Later, Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan told reporters that Mr Karim was under investigation and still being held by the authorities. It is not clear where Mr Karim is being held. When the BBC contacted various branches of the security forces, all of them said they had no information on his whereabouts. The Dhaka Metropolitan Police Commissioner Asaduzzaman Mia told the BBC earlier this month that Mr Karim and Mr Khan were \"suspects because of their behaviour on that day.\" When asked whether the two were still being held by the security forces Mr Mia said: \"I don't know the exact thing… But after the incident yes we interrogated them. But (whether) they are still in police custody or not, I cannot make any specific comment. I have to know the exact situation from the investigating officer.\" According to media reports, Mr Karim was seen moving inside the cafe along with the militants during the night of the hostage taking, raising suspicion that he might be linked to them. But Ms Pavin calls this \"complete nonsense\". \"I cannot even begin to understand the basis of these allegations. Hasnat is a good person,\" Ms Parvin says. On the night of the cafe siege, the gunmen used her husband as a \"human shield\" and took him to the terrace, she says, arguing that he simply followed their instructions. 'Desperately worried' Human rights groups have also expressed concern. \"If the authorities do have Hasnat Karim in custody, then they must release him immediately or produce him in a court of law for any charges to be filed against him\", Amnesty International said in a statement issued earlier this month. Mr Karim's family have also sought help from the British High Commission in Dhaka. \"Our staff in Dhaka are in contact with Bangladeshi authorities following the detention of a Bangladeshi-British citizen and have requested consular access,\" a spokesman for the British Foreign Office said in an e-mailed response. Ms Parvin says the last time the family were able to meet Mr Karim was on 13 July. Since then, they have not received any update on his whereabouts. \"The last time I saw my husband he was very weak and exhausted both physically and mentally,\" Ms Parvin says. \"I am afraid for his health especially as he has a heart condition. It makes the situation all the more serious and we are all desperately worried.\"",

Her comments came as Welsh health boards revealed budget overspends. It has led some health officials to order cuts to overtime and agency staff spending. Abertawe Bro Morgannwg University Heath Board (ABM) said on Thursday that it was taking the steps as its current financial position was \"a cause of great concern\". In the four months to July, its overspend was £7.5m. The picture is repeated across Wales. \"The difficulty is that you cannot help being ill in Wales, so the demand is there,\" said Ms Donnelly. \"Unfortunately for the NHS and the local health boards, they have seen an unprecedented demand in emergency care services continuing, what normally continues as winter pressures going on throughout the summer. \"If that demand is not resourced then there will have to be changes again later in the year if the health boards are to come in on budget.\" Public protests The problems facing health boards has led to some to examine ways to reorganise their services, including the Betsi Cadwaladr board in north Wales. Hundreds of people turned out on Thursday in Blaenau Ffestiniog, Gwynedd, to protest at the proposals, which would effectively see the town's community hospital closed. But as a day of meetings with the public in Blaenau got underway, Sally Baxter from the health board stressed that the plans were not all about financial savings. \"These are changes we want to make anyway,\" she said. \"The financial context we have, let's be plain, is going to mean we have to make some changes to cope. \"But this is about about improvements and making sure that services are fit for the future.\"",

She said it was \"an image that appears to be floating above the horizon, and is most commonly seen in polar regions\". \"This trick of the light is caused by a temperature inversion - a layer of cold air above the sea, with warmer air above. \"As light travels to our eye from the ship, it bends towards the colder, denser air, and it's this refraction which makes our eye think the ship is actually much higher than it really is. \"This same phenomenon can also make objects that are beyond the horizon visible to the human eye.

Officials in Brussels naturally have a vested interest in stressing that leaving the EU is difficult and dangerous. But there's enough detail in the descriptions of a difficult dinner in Downing Street last week to suggest that there are real problems alongside the tactical manoeuvrings. It seems clear that the two sides were facing each other, not just across the dining table, but across a gulf of perceptions too. President of the EU Commission Jean-Claude Juncker, who was a guest of Theresa May, apparently told his host that the more he heard about the British position, the more sceptical he was about the prospects of a deal. His staff have made it known that he telephoned German Chancellor Angela Merkel to warn that in his view the prime minister was \"deluding herself\". British perceptions of the meal have not been leaked in the same level of detail, but there's no doubt the European briefings will be seen in the UK as provocative - and designed to stir up fears among British voters about what Brexit is ultimately going to mean. It's also worth pointing out that the hostile briefing carried in the German newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung is at variance not only with the British view that the meal went well, but also with Mr Juncker's own earlier public description of the dinner as \"excellent\". But there are more concrete signs that relations between London and Brussels are strained. The UK is said to be holding up a budget increase for the EU on the grounds that its hands are tied by the rules of purdah - the convention that politically controversial or sensitive spending decisions are avoided during the build-up to elections. Some officials in Brussels may well believe that Britain is hiding behind the convention of purdah to avoid putting more money into the EU budget. Indeed, Mr Juncker's chief of staff Martin Selmayr said at the weekend that the EU would respond by putting all preparatory talks about the Brexit negotiations on hold until after the election in return. Leaders of the 27 remaining EU nations set out tough terms for the Brexit talks at the weekend, including the threat that they won't agree to start talks about a future trading relationship until progress has been made on settling how much the UK will have to pay to leave the European Union. And several European politicians have contrasted the speed and unanimity of their negotiating position - for now at least - with what they claim is a lack of preparedness on the British side. The Europeans say, for example, they can't be sure who will be Britain's chief negotiator - the main counterpart to Michel Barnier, who is the Commission's man. And they imply there's a lack of clarity even about who to talk to on the other side. It's worth remembering that all this has come before formal Brexit negotiations have even started - they're likely to get going next month. And every stage is likely to be accompanied by similar leaks and briefings. The only difference is, at some point, the British are likely to join in too.",

The Golf had been followed by police minutes before the crash.

A 22-year-old woman from the Touran is in a critical condition and a second woman from the Touran is in a serious but stable condition. Three males travelling in the Golf, aged 23, 17 and 18, suffered minor injuries in the crash, which happened shortly after 20:50 GMT. They have been arrested and remain in custody.

The police watchdog, the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC), has started an investigation. Regional director Miranda Biddle said: \"As soon as we were informed, we sent investigators to the scene and we will be carrying out an independent investigation to establish what actions South Yorkshire Police took prior to the crash. \"This is standard procedure when lives are lost following an incident involving the police.\" \"There is no indication that the police vehicle collided with either of the vehicles involved,\" she added. The IOPC said it had spoken to the officers involved and taken statements. At the scene - Corinne Wheatley - BBC Look North Police investigating this crash have described it as horrific and have, as far as possible, kept people away from the wreckages of the two vehicles. Officers have thanked the local community for their response, bringing the emergency services tea and water, but have urged people to remain respectful and mindful of the material they share on social media.

Perhaps we're not quite digging that out again but anecdotally it seems traffic is lower than usual and many drivers are staying away. Transport for London (TfL) will be pleased if it's true that their messages and advice have got through to motorists. What that has meant is that while the Olympic Route Network (ORN) is active it is open to everyone but you can't stop on it or turn right and some of the Games Lanes, for use by the Olympic family, are on and some are off. What TfL is trying to do is show that the lanes are flexible and can be turned on and off. It is an important point for it to make politically as the lanes are very unpopular and controversial. TfL wants to show it has listened and it can keep London moving. The downside is that it is confusing for some drivers - is this lane on or off? Do I risk a £130 fine? And it seems lots of drivers remain unsure particularly if they missed the dot matrix signs issuing advice. Leon Daniels, TfL's managing director of surface transport, said people would have to rely on the changing matrix signs to determine whether they could drive on the lane. But he said people accidentally straying into them would not automatically incur a fine.

Staff were told via an internal memo that the firings were related to data security and employee safety. But those who lost their jobs have said they were being punished for \"speaking out\". The sackings followed a demonstration at Google's San Francisco office on Friday, attended by more than 200 Google employees. Two of the four fired employees, Rebecca Rivers and Laurence Berland, spoke at the protest. The Silicon Valley giant has confirmed the authenticity of the memo, first published by Bloomberg, but would not comment further. Google's Security and Investigations team said the employees were routinely accessing information about other projects and employees inappropriately. \"Our thorough investigation found the individuals were involved in systematic searches for other employees’ materials and work,” the memo read. \"This includes searching for, accessing, and distributing business information outside the scope of their jobs - repeating this conduct even after they were met with and reminded about our data security policies. \"This information, along with details of internal emails and inaccurate descriptions about Googlers’ work, was subsequently shared externally.\" 'Union busting' At Friday's protest, Ms Rivers told the crowd she had been put on administrative leave for accessing confidential documents. She tweeted on Monday that her contract had been terminated. \"Four of our colleagues took a stand and organised for a better workplace,\" a statement representing the Four, and other organising employees, read. The confirmed Mr Berland was among the four. The other two employees’ identities have not been made public. The statement continued: \"This is explicitly condoned in Google's Code of Conduct, which ends: 'And remember… don’t be evil, and if you see something that you think isn’t right – speak up’. \"When they did, Google retaliated against them. Today, after putting two of them on sudden and unexplained leave, the company fired all four in an attempt to crush worker organising.” Among the issues causing discomfort among Google employees is the firm's work with the US Border Patrol. More than 1,500 workers have signed a petition demanding Google backs down from its bid to provide the agency with cloud computing services. But the workers point to Google's hiring of IRI Consultants, a firm which bills itself as a leader in helping major firms avoid \"union vulnerability”, as a sign of the search giant’s growing unease at internal activism. The row has caught the attention of Washington. \"This type of union busting is unacceptable,\" tweeted presidential hopeful Senator Bernie Sanders. \"I say to Google: it is time to address the racism, harassment, and harmful contracts at your company and treat your workers with the respect and dignity they deserve.\" End of an open era Observers see the move as heralding the end of Google's famously open working culture. Executives have locked down the degree to which employees can access information on projects they are not involved with, while earlier this month Google's chief executive Sundar Pichai told staff its weekly \"all-hands\" meeting would no longer take place. The open forum, which used to take place every Friday, will be replaced by a monthly meeting that focused only on \"product and business strategy\", according to tech news site The Verge, referencing an internal memo sent at the time. No longer allowed at the meetings: free-flowing questions on Google's political controversy, such as its role in China, dealings with the military, and co-operation with US Immigrations, Customs and Enforcement - known as Ice. \"They think this will crush our efforts, but it won't,\" the Google workers statement distributed on Monday added. \"For every one they retaliate against, there are hundreds of us who will fight, and together we will win.

            "input": "By Andrew WalkerBBC World Service economics correspondent It is: what can they expect next from the United States under President Trump? For decades after the Second World War, the US was arguably the biggest cheerleader for the gradual liberalisation of trade that took place. Now, the US is the principal cause of anxiety among supporters of that process. President Trump's approach to international commerce is assertive and confrontational, driven by an agenda described as economic nationalism. It is a central element behind the escalating trade tension this week. Some fear that this approach will undermine the system that has evolved in the last three quarters of a century. Ambivalent It is a complex system based to a large extent on rules managed through the World Trade Organization (WTO), supplemented with agreements among groups of countries that provide still deeper trade integration. President Trump has shown little enthusiasm for those deeper agreements. He pulled the US out of one that had not been implemented as soon as he took office - the Trans-Pacific Partnership, and has threatened to repudiate another, the North American Free Trade Agreement. On the WTO, the Trump administration has been ambivalent. Some recent steps have been given a WTO justification. The controversial tariffs on steel and aluminium followed an investigation by the US Commerce Department which concluded that imports of the metals were a threat to national security. In essence, the argument is that the US military needs a more reliable source of supply from the country's own industry. WTO rules do permit countries to impose trade barriers to protect national security that would not otherwise be allowed. It's another question whether national security really was the motivation and many critics, including the European Commission and China, don't believe it was. Tariffs on imported washing machines and solar panels were safeguard measures, actions that are permitted in response to surges in imports, provided they are done in a way that is consistent with the WTO rulebook. More difficult is the proposal, not yet implemented, to target Chinese goods with tariffs because of the country's alleged appropriation of the intellectual property - such as patents and designs - of American companies. It is certainly true that protecting trade partners' intellectual property is required by WTO rules and the US concern about China is shared by others, including the EU. But countries are in most circumstances supposed to use WTO procedures before retaliating on the basis of a dispute panel authorising such action. The US has made an official complaint to the WTO but that only happened last week. It will be many months until there is a ruling and even if China loses and fails to comply there will be a further delay before the US is given authority to retaliate. Will President Trump be willing to wait that long? Unilateral action So it is certainly possible that the US will jump the gun and decide to go ahead while the WTO process rumbles on. That would be hard to reconcile with the organisation's rules. At a WTO meeting last week Chinese officials warned that unilateral action by the US undermines the multilateral trading system and sets a very bad precedent. China's Ambassador Zhang Xiangchen told the meeting that member countries should act together to \"lock this beast back into the cage of the WTO rules\". Still, the fact that the US has started the dispute settlement process can be seen as a sign that the Trump administration sees the WTO as useful. It is worth noting that China is striking its first retaliatory blows without a WTO ruling, though there is a way that can sometimes be done under the rules. It is however debateable whether that provision really applies in this case. Still, the Trump Administration has a strikingly different tone on trade after its predecessor. The economic nationalism that motivates President Trump and some of his team is disposed to see other countries as trading unfairly. It sees trade deficits as a sign of weakness, as an indication that trade agreements are defective and unfair. It is true that President Trump has fired the most influential voice pressing this approach, his former chief strategist Steve Bannon. But the disagreements that led to that were not about trade. And there are others of similar view still in key positions for trade policy. His Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, the US Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer (who is in charge of negotiating trade deals) and the president's trade adviser, Peter Navarro, director of the National Trade Council are all from that mould. Global Trade More from the BBC's series taking an international perspective on trade: Mr Bannon's departure did not reflect a disagreement over the economic nationalist agenda. But the resignation of Gary Cohn, as head of the National Economic Council did. Mr Cohn was someone seen as resisting that agenda in the administration. The firing of Secretary of State Rex Tillerson reflected a number of disagreements with the President including the steel and aluminium tariffs. One of President Trump's central views on trade is that other countries take advantage of the US. It is certainly true that US trade barriers are among the lowest. Tariffs - taxes applied to imports - are the easiest barrier to measure and average levels in the US are low. Not the lowest in the world as Mr Navarro has claimed. Hong Kong doesn't have any at all and depending on how you calculate average tariffs several others are lower than the US. But certainly American tariffs are relatively low. There are some goods where American tariffs are high - known in the trade world as \"tariff peaks\". There are some in excess of 100% for agricultural products and there is a 25% duty on light trucks. Does that mean other countries are taking advantage of the US? It's debateable. The mainstream view among trade economists is that the main losers from tariffs are buyers of the affected goods in the country that imposes them. Main beneficiary They have to pay more, either because they buy imports from a supplier that has to recover the cost of the tariffs or from a domestic supplier who is able to raise their prices as result of the protection afforded by the tariffs. And sometimes the buyers of the affected goods are businesses that use them as inputs. Steel and aluminium are cases in point. So there is a case that would be supported by many trade economists that the main beneficiary of low US tariffs is the US itself, particularly American consumers. But President Trump's focus has been on producers - firms and employees - who see themselves as being hit by low cost, and they argue, unfair foreign competition especially from China.",

Rhondda Cynon Taf had the highest proportion - £142,122 in overpayments out of £2.9m in parking charges. The TaxPayers' Alliance said it was a stealth tax but councils said money was put back into the transport budget. Twelve of the 22 councils contacted by BBC Wales in a freedom of information request were unable to provide figures about car parking overpayments and three said they did not operate meters. Newport council did not respond. Between 2014-2017, Swansea received £231,000 in overpayments out of £12.2m in parking charges, Carmarthenshire had £146,000 out of £7.7m and Caerphilly had £74,000 out of £1.8m. Merthyr Tydfil recorded £52,000 from £1.4m and Neath Port Talbot had just £654 out of £2.8m in parking fees. The TaxPayers' Alliance said many drivers felt they already paid \"more than enough tax and this is a stealth tax\". \"Not all of that money is going to go back into car parks and road maintenance because it is not statutory to do so,\" said Lee Canning, its co-ordinator in Wales. \"I think it's important that all the money made in this way is reinvested in improving car parks.\" Councils said it would be more expensive to have machines that gave change and many were now choosing alternative methods, such as online and telephone payments. But Steve Gooding, director of the RAC Foundation, said that did not help \"the significant number of people - not least elderly motorists - who still don't own a mobile\". \"Some will say why all the fuss about a few pence here and there, but these numbers soon add up to the point where drivers might reasonably ask whether this isn't more of a money spinner than a means of managing traffic for some councils,\" he added. A spokesman for Rhondda Cynon Taf council said: \"Any income generated by the council's parking charges is re-invested back into the service area - whether this is to fund the service, or for use in transportation projects and highway schemes.\" Swansea council said: \"We have been introducing credit and debit card-operated machines at some of our busiest car parks and are currently working to introduce cashless payment by smart phone so people can pay only for the time they purchase by using their cards.\" Carmarthenshire road safety and traffic manager John McEvoy said its machines did not give change for security reasons, adding: \"Any leftover change taken from car parking machines in any year goes towards maintaining essential services within the council.\"",

The court had previously heard Mr Gifford had been arrested when he went to meet one of the children after fake profiles were set up by a group called the Hunted One, which had been monitoring his online conversations. Speaking in his defence, Mr Gifford said he had gone on to the sites to meet people in their 50s and 60s for friendship and to try to find a housekeeper.

            "input": "By Hannah RichardsonBBC News education and social affairs reporter The Local Government Ombudsman found some local authorities in England were miscalculating housing benefit payments and then curtailing rights of appeal. It upheld eight out of 10 of the hundreds of complaints it investigated about the benefit in 2018-19. Town hall bosses said the report raised some important issues. It also said the funding councils received to administrate housing benefit fell short of its true cost. Michael King, the Local Government and Social Care Ombudsman, said: \"Mistakes in benefit administration can only add to the pressures households face. \"A delay in processing an appeal later upheld can lead to rising rent arrears. \"Many of the people who complain to us face the threat of losing their homes.\" In one example, a young family with a disabled child had to leave their London home following a miscalculation of their housing benefits by Haringey Council. Threatening letters The detailed report upholding the family's complaint said: \"The single-parent family had been living in privately rented accommodation but were asked to leave by their landlord after the council incorrectly told him the family owed more than £8,000 in backdated benefits. \"The family had to stay in unsuitable accommodation while the council put right its mistakes and recalculated the mother's correct entitlement. \"The council has also agreed to pay the woman £1,000 for the distress caused, a further £1,300 to recognise she was in unsuitable accommodation for six months and £500 for storage costs she incurred when she had to leave her rented property.\" The ombudsman also highlighted the story of a man left in limbo for two years, not knowing the amount of support he should receive and how much the council would pursue him for. A simple administrative error combined with an inability to update records meant the council could no longer work out why it had overpaid his housing benefit. All the while it sent him letters threatening recovery action every fortnight. Right of appeal In total, the ombudsman received 491 complaints in 2018-19 and carried out detailed investigations into 74. Problems highlighted by the ombudsman include councils preventing families from challenging decisions by interpreting rules around appeals overly literally. Claimants who disputed a housing-benefit decision but did not use the word \"review\" or \"appeal\" in their communication, for example, should not be prevented from appealing, the ombudsman said. Ordinary claimants could not be expected to be expert in the finer points of housing-benefit legislation. In addition, some councils started recovering overpayments before the one-month time limit for appeals was up or before appeals had been heard. And others failed to pass on disputed decisions to cases to the relevant social-security tribunal. A Local Government Association spokesman said as well as a lack of funding, departments had faced continuing pressures and uncertainty over welfare reforms and the introduction of the all-in-one benefit, universal credit. This had also stretched councils' revenues and benefits services. \"It is vital that the government recognises the ongoing role of councils in administering housing benefit and in supporting claimants [and] provides appropriate, timely funding to councils to deliver this role, to ensure that councils are able to provide the fairest, most accurate service that they can,\" he added.",

            "input": "But Mohammad Akhlaq's death sparked widespread outrage and contributed to changing the social and political discourse of the country. The BBC's Ayeshea Perera looks at some of the most significant things that happened in India following his death. The 'intolerance' furore Perhaps the largest fallout of Mohammad Akhlaq's death in Uttar Pradesh state was the accusation of \"intolerance\" that began to haunt Prime Minister Narendra Modi's ruling Hindu nationalist BJP. Critics of the BJP have often accused it of being Hindu majoritarian in its outlook and of being hostile to ethnic and religious minorities, particularly Muslims. And this incident only strengthened those voices. The fact that Mr Modi did not immediately condemn the incident, choosing to remain silent even as state party leaders jumped to the defence of the accused, caused even more anger. It prompted an unprecedented movement by writers and poets who had been celebrated by the government - they started returning their prestigious Sahitya Akademi awards to protest at intolerance in India. More than 40 writers from all across the country returned their awards and were soon joined by a group of film makers who said they would not be \"guilty of flattening diversity\" in the country. Leading writer Nayantara Sehgal, a niece of India's first prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru, wrote that \"… India's culture of diversity and debate is now under vicious assault… The prime minister remains silent about this reign of terror. We must assume he dare not alienate evil-doers who support his ideology.\" But \"intolerance\" was not limited to returning awards - it found its way into popular discourse as well. Bollywood superstar Amir Khan also created a furore when he expressed concern over the \"growing intolerance\" in India. He was later joined by fellow star Shah Rukh Khan who said he \"respected\" people returning awards to protest against intolerance. Later, the arrest of a student leader from India's prestigious Jawarhalal Nehru University on sedition charges over a rally condemning the hanging of a man convicted of attacking the Indian parliament also sparked cries of \"intolerance\" on a massive scale. The BJP loses Bihar A second outcome that can be linked back to the Dadri killing is that the BJP went on to lose state elections in the neighbouring northern state of Bihar - a poll it was widely expected to win. Incumbent chief minister Nitish Kumar, who was on his second term, had already suffered a crushing defeat to Mr Modi's party in the 2014 parliamentary elections, and another \"Modi wave\" was expected to sweep the state elections as well. But in a masterstroke, Mr Kumar and his allies positioned themselves as a \"secular\" alliance, in direct opposition to the \"communal\" BJP. The fact that Mr Modi and BJP party chief Amit Shah raised the sensitive issue of cow slaughter and consumption of beef during election rallies in the state also did not seem to help. When Mr Kumar's party won, it was called a \"historic verdict\" and hailed as proof that running a poll campaign along religious and ethnic lines would not bring results. The rise of cow protection vigilante groups The death of Mr Akhlaq seemed to put new focus on \"cow protection\" groups who took it upon themselves to ensure that cattle would not be slaughtered or consumed. Mostly members of militant Hindu groups like the Bajrang Dal, Vishwa Hindu Parishad (World Hindu Council) and Shiv Sena, these self-styled cow protectors created headlines after they lay in wait for and then beat up a number of truck drivers transporting cattle for slaughter. In another attack, two Muslim woman were beaten up after they were accused of carrying beef. And most significantly, in an incident which led to massive caste unrest, four low-caste Dalit men trying to skin a dead cow were thrashed by vigilantes in the western state of Gujarat. A video of the incident went viral and led to huge protests and an uproar in parliament. After again being accused of silence, Mr Modi used a radio address almost a full month later to criticise vigilante attacks, saying such people made him \"angry\", and any attacks must be investigated. Eating as an act of defiance The right to eat beef became another huge talking point in the wake of the Dadri attack. Confusion over whether the meat believed to have been in the possession of Mr Akhlaq's family was beef or mutton set off a debate over the right of people to eat what they want. A ban on beef in several Indian states has also been criticised because the meat is cheaper than chicken and fish and is a staple for the poorer Muslim, tribal and Dalit (formerly untouchable) communities. A police raid at the canteen of a Delhi guesthouse owned by southern Kerala state over its famed beef curry created an uproar, with politicians from the state protesting against what they saw as a violation of their culture. It also set off a social media campaign, with many users uploading pictures of them eating beef and daring police to arrest them. According to government data, some 80 million Indians - one in every 13 - eat beef or buffalo meat. Most of them are Muslims. But more than 12 million Hindus also eat the meat.",

NRW will hand its report, based on estimates from councils, to the Welsh government on Friday. Of the worst-hit areas, Conwy's estimated repair costs of £5m is the highest so far. The Welsh government has allocated £2m to help with repairs after bad weather and high tides battered Wales' coastline in December and early January, with a wind speed of 87mph recorded in Conwy two days before Christmas. New defences A review was ordered by Natural Resources Minister Alun Davies to assess the impact on hundreds of miles of coastline. BBC Wales has received responses from six local authorities affected by the storms - each of which already spends tens of thousands of pounds every year on defending coastal areas from erosion and flooding. Conwy estimated repair costs of £5m, while Pembrokeshire will need to spend £500,000. In Ceredigion - where hundreds of residents on Aberystwyth's seafront were evacuated during the storms at the start of the month - the council said it was spending at least £1.5m. It is also designing and planning new coastal defences for Aberystwyth, which could cost millions of pounds, and it will ask the Welsh government for help. Rhodri Llwyd, coast and rivers engineer for Ceredigion council, said he hoped a detailed plan for coastal defences for Aberystwyth would be drawn up within 12 months. Options could include an offshore breakwater or reef, or increasing the height of the promenade wall. The final cost will depend on which option is chosen, and what surveys reveal, but could well be in the region of £10m-£20m. Mr Llwyd said: \"I think retaining the promenade won't provide the level of protection that we need for the future and so... something has to be done here.\" Gwynedd councillors estimate their repair bill will be around £800,000, while Anglesey council estimates £100,000. Carmarthenshire faces a relatively minor repair bill of £28,000. The NRW report will be sent to the minister on Friday. It is not known when the report will be published, or when the Welsh government will respond. Mr Davies ordered the review on 5 December following some of the worst weather conditions Wales has seen in over 20 years. The first phase examines the direct impact of the floods, while the second will look at what lessons can be learnt, and the flood risk management in the affected areas. Mr Davies previously said the Welsh government was in talks with the UK government about an application to the EU Emergency Solidarity Fund, originally set up to help those affected by the 2002 floods in Eastern Europe.",

The Anti-Homosexuality Bill has been condemned by Western leaders and human rights groups, some of whom are celebrating victory. The bill, first introduced in 2009, could still be brought up when the new parliament meets later this year. Uganda is a largely conservative society and many people condemn homosexuality both as un-African and un-Christian. But in recent years, some gay rights groups have been set up in the country. Homosexual acts are already illegal in Uganda but the bill would increase the penalty for those convicted to life in prison. Those found guilty of \"aggravated homosexuality\" - defined as when one of the participants is a minor, HIV-positive, disabled or a \"serial offender\" - would face the death penalty. Anyone failing to report to the authorities a person they knew to be homosexual would also be liable to prosecution. International pressure Internet campaign group Avaaz said the bill's lack of progress was a \"victory for all Ugandans and people across the world who value human rights\". \"We must now ensure this heinous bill can never return to parliament again,\" said Avaaz campaign director Alice Jay. Maria Burnett, of Human Rights Watch, said it would still be a very long fight to stop the Ugandan legislation as \"the issue has not gone away\". \"The international pressure over the last year and a half has been very important to show that Uganda cannot act in isolation from the international community,\" she said. US President Barack Obama has condemned the bill and donors have urged Uganda's government to ensure the measures never become law. But David Bahati, the MP who introduced the private member's bill, said he would try to reintroduce it when the next parliament convened after February's elections, and said it had achieved his goal of sparking debate. \"We have made important steps in raising the issue and that will continue,\" he was quoted as saying by the AFP news agency. In January, David Kato, a campaigner who led condemnation of the bill, was murdered not long after suing a paper that outed him as gay. Police denied the killing was because of his sexuality.

Mr Farage hung up during a telephone interview with the Good Morning Scotland programme on BBC Radio Scotland after being pressed about his lack of knowledge of Scottish politics and the low level of support for his party north of the border. He later described the interview as \"insulting\". First Minister Alex Salmond said that Mr Farage's accusation of a \"hate campaign\" from the BBC during the radio interview showed it would be a \"great mistake\" to take \"somebody of that mentality with any degree of seriousness\". Mr Salmond added: \"We can frankly do without UKIP, who dislike everybody and know absolutely nothing about Scotland.\" When asked if he condemned the demonstration against Mr Farage, the first minister said: \"If there's been any law-breaking - and that's yet to be established - then obviously we condemn that, as we always do in Scotland, but you've got to get things into context. \"A student demonstration isn't the Dreyfus trial.\" Mr Farage was in Edinburgh to launch his party's Scottish campaign following recent electoral gains in England. Police said two men had been arrested following the protest. Speaking to the Good Morning Scotland programme, Mr Farage said: \"If this is the face of Scottish nationalism, it's a pretty ugly picture.\" He added: \"The anger, the hatred, the shouting, the snarling, the swearing was all linked in to a desire for the Union Jack to be burnt.\" The UKIP leader said the demonstrators did not represent Scotland and dismissed suggestions his party was an irrelevance north of the border. \"The fact that 50 yobbo fascist scum turn up and aren't prepared to listen to the debate, I absolutely refuse to believe is representative of Scottish public opinion,\" Mr Farage said. He said he had heard before that some parts of Scottish nationalism were \"akin to fascism\" but \"yesterday I saw it face-to-face\". Mr Farage also told BBC Radio Four's Today programme that the protesters were \"filled with a total and utter hatred of the English\". \"For some reason the British media has never talked about the excesses of Scottish nationalism and how deeply unpleasant they can be,\" he said. Mr Farage did not suggest this was anything to do with the SNP as a party. But he added: \"These people were supporters of Scottish nationalism, virulently opposed to the English, all sorts of suggestions as to what we could do with the Union Jack and I would like to hear Alex Salmond come out and condemn this sort of behaviour. I challenge him today to do that.\" He said: \"If anybody from UKIP says anything on Facebook that is in any way homophobic or mildly racist you guys jump down my throat and demand I condemn them and expel them from the party, which of course I do. It is about time Scottish nationalism was put under the same level of scrutiny.\" An SNP spokesman said: \"Anyone who heard the interview with Nigel Farage on BBC this morning would have thought he has completely lost the plot. \"He accused the BBC of hatred when under pressure and panicked during an interview. Nothing he says can be treated with a shred of credibility and his partners in the No campaign should be embarrassed about his behaviour.\" A spokesman for the Radical Independence Campaign, who helped organise the demonstration in Edinburgh, said there had been \"no anti-English protest\". He added: \"For Farage to make such a claim is risible: it is UKIP who are stoking division. \"This was about challenging someone whose party has been spouting racist, sexist and homophobic bile and gone unchallenged for months. \"Everyone who opposes the politics of fear and division should unite against UKIP - whether you live in Scotland or England.\" John Martin, president of the Edinburgh College Students' Association, which also took part in the protest, said: \"We organised yesterday's protest against Farage out of a belief that UKIP's policies are fundamentally rotten. \"Their headline five-year immigration freeze is not only completely disconnected from reality, but is a policy that neither the people of Scotland nor the rest of the United Kingdom would stomach. \"His regressive and repugnant ideology is not far removed from that of the BNP - just dressed in a better-fitting suit.\" The Scottish Conservatives condemned the protesters who heckled Mr Farage, and criticised the first minister for his subsequent comments. Alex Johnstone MSP said: \"Alex Salmond is the last person who should be coming out and condemning Nigel Farage and his comments today are total hypocrisy. \"Let's not forget this is the same first minister who branded a BBC executive a 'Nazi official' for not being allowed to act as a rugby pundit on TV.\" He added: \"Yesterday's abuse handed out by separatists was another shameless example of the lengths they will go to hijack the independence debate in Scotland.\"",

Mr Chavez died on 5 March after a two-year battle against cancer. Mr Capriles will stand against Acting President Nicolas Maduro, whom Mr Chavez named as his favoured successor. The acting president went on state television minutes after the opposition leader's appearance, accusing him of being a \"fascist\". Correspondents say the stage is now set for a bitter presidential campaign. The opposition boycotted Mr Maduro's swearing-in on Friday, claiming that - under the constitution - the speaker of the National Assembly, Diosdado Cabello, should be the one to take over as acting president. Mr Capriles - candidate for the umbrella opposition group Table for Democratic Unity (MUD) - called the move fraudulent. On Sunday, he again accused the socialist PSUV of violating the constitution. \"My fight is not to be president, my fight is for Venezuela to move forward,\" he said. \"You [the PSUV] are the ones who became sick by power. You fear losing it.\" He added: \"I am going to fight. Nicolas, I am not going to give you a free pass. You will have to beat me with votes.\" Mr Capriles, 40, is a lawyer by training and governor of the state of Miranda. He describes his policies as \"centrist\" and \"humanist\". 'Biggest mistake' In his televised address on Sunday, Nicolas Maduro accused Henrique Capriles of inciting hatred, and said he was trying to provoke violence by insulting the late president's image. \"You have made the biggest mistake of your life,\" he said. He announced that he would ask the national assembly to change the constitution on Tuesday to allow Mr Chavez's body to lie beside that of 19th Century South American revolutionary leader Simon Bolivar. Both Mr Maduro and his opposition rival must register their candidacies by Monday. Mr Chavez - who led Venezuela for 14 years - won last October's election against Mr Capriles, polling 54% of the vote to Mr Capriles's 44%. Mr Chavez named his 50-year-old vice-president and foreign minister as his preferred successor following the recurrence of cancer. Mr Maduro's friendship with Hugo Chavez dates back to when the former president served time in prison for an attempted coup in 1992. The former bus driver campaigned for Mr Chavez to be released - which happened two years later. He has vowed to carry on where the late leader left off but acknowledged that Mr Chavez would be difficult to follow. He told a crowd on Saturday: \"I am not Chavez - speaking in terms of the intelligence, charisma, historical force, leadership capacity and spiritual grandeur of our comandante [commander].\" Hugo Chavez's body is still lying in state at a military academy in the capital Caracas. Millions of Venezuelans have filed past to pay their respects. Mr Maduro says the former leader's body will be embalmed \"like Lenin and Mao Zedong\".",

Mr Marshall said he is \"astonished\" at the failure to nominate any member of the unionist community to the Republic of Ireland's upper chamber. The Irish government has been asked for a response to Mr Marshall's criticism. The 11 extra seats were filled by nominations on Saturday. They were taken by representatives from the three new parties of government Fianna Fáil, Fine Gael and the Green Party, as well as Eileen Flynn, a Travellers' rights activist. \"This a huge missed opportunity and sends a very clear message to the unionist community that they have no role play down south,\" said Mr Marshall. \"How can you have a shared island if you only talk to yourself? \"The three party leaders all talked about change and renewal and yet they turn their backs on unionists and any talk of a shared island is just a farce.\" Fianna Fáil leader Micheál Martin was elected taoiseach (Irish prime minister) on Saturday. He now leads a three-party coalition government consisting of Fianna Fáil, Fine Gael and the Green Party. Mr Marshall served two years in the Seanad after being nominated by the former Taoiseach, Leo Varadkar. He sat as an independent and received support from Sinn Féin in his first election but he lost his seat in the election earlier this year. \"This is not about me,\" he said. \"For two years I was there representing the unionist voices, trying to build bridges at a time when relations were strained because of Brexit. \"I had hoped the parties would have recognised the real need to have that voice in the chamber but sadly not. \"In fact, there were no nominations from Northern Ireland which is a real backward step at a time of great political flux. \"For all their faults, at least the parties at Stormont are trying to make progress but it seem that is not the case when it comes to politicians in the Republic where they are happy to pay lip service to a shared island. \"I am very worried about the message that this sends out to the unionist community.\" It is not just unionists who have criticised the taoiseach's selection - several people from Northern Ireland have pointed out that there are no nominees from that side of the Irish border. Sinn Féin Senator Niall Ó Donnghaile, from Belfast, expressed his \"disappointment and frustration\" on Twitter over the lack of northern representation. \"So much for \"the Republican Party\", so much for \"the United Ireland party\" and so much for the Greens actually supposed to be an all-Ireland party!\" he tweeted. His party leader Mary Lou McDonald also expressed her disappointment. \"I think it's important that northern society is represented within the Oireachtas [the Irish Parliament] and I think it's also important that unionist voices - people from the unionist tradition - are also heard, so yes, that's a disappointment,\" she told the BBC's Sunday Politics. There are nine women among the 11 senators nominated to the Seanad.

However, in some countries police have a direct link to customer's phone calls and web communications. Surveillance by governments has been in the public eye since revelations by US whistleblower Edward Snowden. Vodafone said it values customer privacy, but it must comply with laws \"designed to protect national security and public safety\". In most of the 29 countries where Vodafone has major operations, including the UK, law enforcement and intelligence agencies must have a warrant to listen to phone calls or look at text messages, emails or web chats. The firm said it could not specify the countries that have a direct line into its networks, because those countries have laws prohibiting disclosure of surveillance methods. In six out of the 29 countries, governments have a permanent link to monitor communications, the BBC understands. In its first-ever transparency report, Vodafone said that in a small number of countries, it \"will not receive any form of demand for lawful interception access, as the relevant agencies and authorities already have permanent access to customer communications via their own direct link\". Human rights campaign organisation Liberty called the government powers \"terrifying\". Shami Chakrabarti, Director of Liberty, said: \"For governments to access phone calls at the flick of a switch is unprecedented and terrifying. \"The defeated Snoopers' Charter tried to take us down this path, but Snowden revealed the internet was already treated as fair game. Bluster that all is well is wearing pretty thin - our analogue laws need a digital overhaul.\" Analysis - Gordon Corera, security correspondent, BBC News Vodafone's report is a sign that telecoms companies are joining internet and other tech companies in providing for more transparency in their role sitting between customers and government. The report is not directly linked to the revelations from Edward Snowden since people have always known that communications companies can be required to intercept communications or hand over data under the law of whatever country they operate in. But neither governments nor communications companies used to like talking about it. The Snowden revelations have forced the wider issue of government surveillance into the open and accelerated the transparency drive. We knew the details of what some countries do already from existing reports like that of the Interception of Communications Commissioner in the UK. But one of the challenges is that different countries have different laws, different ways of counting requests and also have a different willingness to be open about what they demand of telecoms companies. This makes comparison between countries difficult despite Vodafone's attempt to put more information into the public domain.",

But Health Minister Vaughan Gething said it will make the party unsupportable. First Minister Mark Drakeford said Mr Corbyn was respecting Leave voters. Mr Drakeford has previously vowed to back Remain if a new ballot was held. The Welsh Labour leader has taken a firmer pro-EU stance since European Parliament elections in May where his party came third, behind the Brexit Party and Plaid Cymru. But Labour's general election manifesto is not expected to back Leave or Remain. Writing on Twitter, Mr Gething said Jeremy Corbyn's position was \"utter BS\". The minister, who wants to see a further referendum on the EU, said: \"We can't ask people to vote to renegotiate, [and] then might ask the public to vote that down. We will deserve all the ridicule we get if this is the manifesto.\" He told BBC Wales: \"It won't reach out to Leave and Remain supporters, it will make us unsupportable for Leave and Remain supporters.\" 'Respectful' Defending Mr Corbyn, Mark Drakeford said he would not find the UK Labour position \"difficult\" to explain to voters. \"What we are trying to do is to respect the views of those people who think that our future will be better off elsewhere, and they will have a credible option on that ballot paper,\" he said. \"But here in Wales, the Labour Party and the Labour government is clear, remaining in the European Union is the best deal of all, and that's what we will be supporting.\" He said Mr Corbyn had to balance the fact that the 50 seats with the biggest vote to leave the EU are held by Labour members. \"He has to be respectful of that,\" he said. On Wednesday Tom Watson, UK Labour deputy leader, put himself at odds with Mr Corbyn, saying the party must prioritise reversing Brexit through another referendum, over winning power in a general election. Lynne Neagle, Torfaen Labour AM and a supporter of a further referendum, feared Mr Corbyn's Brexit stance risked a majority Conservative government. \"Going into a general election with this fudged position will simply mean we haemorrhage even more votes to parties who are clearly Remain,\" she told BBC Wales. \"We should have learnt by now that if we stand in the middle of the road we get run over.\" But her assembly colleague Mike Hedges stood by the UK leader. \"I represent a constituency that is overwhelmingly in favour of leaving the EU,\" the Swansea East AM said. \"I agree with Jeremy Corbyn we should get the best possible deal and then ask the electorate to choose between that and Remain.\" 'Solve this mess' Stephen Kinnock, Aberavon Labour MP, wants a version of Theresa May's Withdrawal Agreement agreed, with changes that had been negotiated by Labour before cross-party talks broke down earlier this year. He was successful in requiring the deal to be brought to a further vote, following the passage of a bill aimed at stopping a no-deal Brexit on 31 October. \"The way to solve this mess is not through a second referendum or a general election- it's by leaving the European Union with a deal,\" Mr Kinnock said. \"That has always been my view - that we need to have a compromise which recognises the massive political upheaval that our country has been through and would continue to go through if we have a very divisive second referendum or a general election.\" Analysis by BBC Wales political correspondent James Williams During last year's Welsh Labour leadership contest, Mark Drakeford made a virtue of his support for Jeremy Corbyn - he used the UK Labour leader's slogan of \"For the Many, Not the Few\" for his own campaign and sang from the same policy hymn sheet. But when it comes to Brexit, things have changed, 'clear red water' has emerged between Labour in Cardiff and Westminster. Welsh Labour is now fully supportive of reversing the 2016 EU referendum result, whilst Jeremy Corbyn and his office, despite taking the step to back a second referendum after a general election, have yet to travel the same distance and come out fully for 'Remain'. After the drubbing in May's European Parliamentary election, Mark Drakeford conceded that Labour's Brexit position was \"too complicated\" to sell on the doorstep. With anti and pro-Brexit parties moving to clear, unambiguous in-out positions on either side of the debate, the concern in Labour's ranks is that Jeremy Corbyn's continued attempt to straddle the divide, could still leave many people scratching their heads.",

Around 10% of the patients treated in Shrewsbury and Telford every year cross the border from Wales. Experts there say they face challenges to recruit enough healthcare staff and ensure round-the-clock care. The consultation is being led by the NHS Shrewsbury Clinical Commissioning Group and the Telford and Wrekin Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG). The programme is focused on two hospitals: the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital and the Princess Royal Hospital in Telford. Change is needed according to the CCGs in order to ensure that high quality, safe services are provided for all patients for the long term. The consultation document says that it is \"becoming more difficult to make sure that we have enough doctors, nurses and other healthcare staff to provide many of the same services, 24-hours a day, seven days a week at both our hospitals. \"A local and national shortage of doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals has led to difficulties in recruiting.\" The CCGs are proposing changes so that one hospital provides emergency care services (including women and children's inpatient services) and the other hospital provides planned care services. Both hospitals would have an Urgent Care Centre that is open around the clock. The public are being consulted about the location of the emergency care site and the planned care site. The CCGs have stated a preference to have the emergency care at Royal Shrewsbury Hospital, saying that would mean fewer people would have to travel further for emergency care.

Once it was mostly watches, gold or jewellery that people took to pawnbrokers. Now, designer handbags are the big growth area. They are increasingly high in value - often worth thousands of pounds each, they are easily portable, and there is a seemingly limitless supply. \"For some women, it's a bit of an addiction. They get their fix from buying a bag. But like most cravings, it comes again,\" says Mr Finch. \"One customer brought 18 bags into our Dartford store.\" Private jets With celebrity endorsements from the likes of Cara Delevingne and Kim Kardashian, bags offer plenty of glamour. But on a more practical level, you can use them to borrow cold, hard cash. Yet some of those who pledge their bags are already extremely well off. Debbie Wynter, who runs the pawnbrokers Suttons and Robertsons in central London, calls them \"the ladies who lunch\". \"One customer wanted to raise a loan so they could go on holiday on a private jet, in style,\" she says. They may live in flashy houses in South Kensington, but sometimes they don't have access to ready cash. However, often they are ordinary working women. 'Borrowing from myself' Kim Baker, an office administrator from Kent, has three or four designer bags, which she regularly pawns at her local shop. Her favourites are a Mulberry Bayswater, a Louis Vuitton Postman, and a Chanel clutch bag. \"I flip between the Mulberry and the Louis Vuitton because I don't like to part with the Chanel. They probably go in every couple of months, but they're never in there for long.\" On occasion, she's been tempted to pledge one bag so that she can afford to buy a different one. \"Yes, I would pawn one to buy another one. It'll just come home until I put it in again.\" She typically borrows a couple of hundred pounds at a time, to pay for holidays or school uniforms. And she prefers to take a loan from a pawnbroker rather than a payday lender or friends. \"Because it's my item, it feels like I am borrowing from myself, if that makes sense.\" World record price The bags that hold their value best - and therefore are the easiest to pawn - are the classic designs by Hermes, Louis Vuitton and Chanel. Two of the most valuable are the Birkin - named after actress Jane Birkin - or the Kelly, as carried by Grace Kelly in one of her classic films. These are normally worth up to £6,000 each, but one exotic Birkin in pink crocodile skin is currently for sale on a French website for £167,000. Admittedly it uses pink sapphires to fasten it, and white gold for the lock. \"There are certainly pieces that make sense at that level,\" says Matthew Rubinger, the head of handbags for Europe, the Middle East and Africa, at Christies in Hong Kong. \"What's really interesting is that we are just starting to see these trends, as people move up from being casual buyers to collectors.\" Last year Christies sold a pink Birkin with diamonds in it for £168,000, and three months ago they sold another (pictured above) for £227,000 - a world record price. However, Mr Rubinger advises people not to invest in exotic designer bags unless they really know what they're doing. \"I wouldn't recommend anyone to empty their savings account.\" How does pawnbroking work? More information is available from the National Pawnbrokers Association Fashion The trend to pawning designer bags is not confined to the big cities. Larry Kohen, who runs three pawnbrokers in Cornwall, says it is becoming a regular habit amongst some of his clients. \"One week we had a Goyard in. We also had a couple of Hermes bags in as well. They're stupid money,\" he tells the BBC. \"Sometimes there's a sad reason. We had a lady, a second home owner, who couldn't afford the mortgage. She brought bags and jewellery into us.\" Sometimes women will pawn bags they have been given, which they don't like. The fact they are fashion items also boosts turnover. \"Sometimes we buy a design, but it gets to two years old and we don't want to wear it any more,\" says Myint Myint Thein, an avid bag collector who also manages the Pickwick store in north London. \"At some restaurants or clubs, when we go, we need to wear Chanel, Dior or Gucci. I've got 15 to 20 bags, but I don't think it's beyond what I need - every occasion is different.\" Typical costs of borrowing £400 for a month Pawnbrokers offer \"secured\" loans, which are less risky, and therefore cheaper, than unsecured lending. Nevertheless, the industry advises against using such loans as a long-term form of borrowing.",

When pollution dipped during the Games, the researchers saw significant signs of better health among the volunteers. They say this is \"biological proof\" that pollution can harm the heart. The British Heart Foundation said the link between heart disease and pollution had been known for some time but it was still not clear why this relationship existed. Factories closed China took major steps to improve Beijing air quality for the 2008 Olympic Games after the International Olympic Committee had warned of some events being postponed. China managed to clean up its air that summer by closing factories and allowing cars on the roads only every other day. There were concerns at the time that air quality could prove hazardous to the health of athletes and spectators. The team at the University of Southern California took blood samples from the healthy volunteers both before and after the Games - when pollution levels were high - as well as during the Games, when the levels were much lower. This was to see if changing levels of air pollution had any effect on heart risk. Specifically, they measured blood pressure and looked for blood markers linked to clotting and inflammation - known risk factors for heart disease. They saw big improvements in these measures when the pollution levels went down. Writing in the Journal of the American Medical Association, the study' s lead author, Prof Junfeng Zhang, said: \"We believe this is the first major study to clearly demonstrate that changes in air pollution exposure affect cardiovascular disease mechanisms in healthy young people.\" Caroline Dilworth, from the National Institute of Environmental Health Science (NIEHS), which provided funding for the study, said: \"When air pollution levels are lowered, health benefits can be immediate.\" But the researchers stress that their work could not look at long-term consequences, such as actual heart attack or stroke risk. Amy Thompson of the British Heart Foundation said more research was needed. \"This small study found that exposure to higher levels of air pollution made the blood more likely to clot. For someone who already has heart disease, this could possibly trigger a heart attack. \"If you have heart disease, try to avoid spending long periods in heavily polluted areas where possible. If you have any concerns about your condition, you should speak to your GP.\"",

The move is part of Cabinet Office Minister Francis Maude's plan to shake-up Whitehall. Think tanks normally come up with policy ideas separately from ministers. There are dozens of such groups based at Westminster, employing academics and policy experts from across the political spectrum. The IPPR, which was formed in the late 1980s by left-leaning academics and was highly influential on government policy during the Blair years, will receive £50,000 to look at how the civil service works in other countries, particularly New Zealand. It will report back to ministers with recommendations on future reform. The government said the IPPR's contract was the first step to their goal of making \"open policy making\" the default. 'Arrogant' The think tank will look at the organisation of the civil service in a number of countries including Australia, Singapore and Sweden. Ministers are particularly keen to examine administrations where officials are politically appointed by the government of the day - like in the US and France - rather than permanent as is the case in the UK. And the system in New Zealand, where officials have a contractual responsibility to their ministers to deliver policies, is seen as something that could improve how policies are implemented. Mr Maude denied the IPPR had been chosen to provide political cover for any controversial changes, insisting there was a cross-party feeling that reform was necessary. \"I have always said that, although our civil service has many strengths, it would be arrogant to assume that there is nothing that we can learn from other countries,\" he said. The think tank is expected to provide a \"menu\" of options for reform by the end of Autumn. Cabinet Secretary Sir Jeremy Heywood said: \"This is very important for the Civil Service. \"I know how good civil servants are at policy making, and I also know how powerful opening the process up to new ideas and challenges can be.\" The fund for commissioning external policy research is available to all departments and is worth up to £1m a year.",

Significant manufacturing job losses were announced over the last few days, including a Michelin factory closure. However, the centre expects the sector to add between 8,000 and 14,000 jobs by 2025. 'Skills shortages' Under the 'high growth' scenario, that would mean manufacturing jobs increasing by 16%. By contrast jobs in the sector fell by 21% between 1997 and 2007. The centre said growth will typically come in higher value manufacturing \"driven by an increase in foreign direct investment\". The report also looks at where there are likely to be skills shortages under the high growth scenario. It points to a \"significant undersupply\" of skilled graduates in engineering, maths, computer science and physical sciences. It also forecasts a significant shortage of non-graduates with engineering, manufacturing and science skills. The report cautions that a skills oversupply issue could arise if there is weak economic growth 'Work experience' However, it said that outcome is preferred to a shortage of skills which could constrain economic growth and result in higher levels of unemployment. An oversupply is forecast of graduates with qualifications in psychology and social work. The report makes a number of policy recommendations, including a greater focus on employability skills and more work experience for undergraduates. It also suggests that further education colleges provide too wide a range of services. It states that they could focus on \"mid to high-level skills\" with other providers delivering low-level skills training.",

Today, it is cluttered with mismatched and broken chairs, old fence posts. But it always provided a perfect perch from which they could survey the goings-on in the neighbourhood. \"This is the safe zone,\" explained Rayshawn Jackson. \"I been kicking it on this porch since forever.\" On Wednesday, Jackson, Castile's 33-year-old cousin, heard the news from a co-worker at his job as a cook. The police officer who shot and killed Castile had been charged with felony manslaughter. Instead of watching the video of the press conference on his phone or reading the deluge of news articles, Jackson waited until his shift ended, then headed for the porch. He trudged up the familiar steps to meet 32-year-old Darius Taylor so they could find out what happened to their friend. Even now it is difficult to wrap their heads around - Castile's name is known internationally, for terrible reasons. On 6 July, Castile's girlfriend Diamond Reynolds broadcast his final moments live on Facebook, just seconds after he was shot seven times by a police officer during a traffic stop. Reynolds narrated what had happened as the world watched Castile slipping away, his white shirt soaked in blood. They had been pulled over for a broken tail light, and Castile told the officer he had a licensed handgun on him. As he reached for his wallet, Reynolds said, the officer suddenly opened fire. Her four-year-old daughter was in the backseat. Supporters of the officer, Jeronimo Yanez, were quick to cast doubt on Reynold's version, calling her a fame-seeker, or saying that Castile was fleeing an armed robbery at a convenience store. An investigation into the shooting by state and local authorities dragged on for 19 weeks. On Wednesday, the flurry of speculation and character attacks came to a close with an announcement from Ramsey County Attorney John Choi. Choi charged Yanez with felony second degree manslaughter, and two felony endangerment charges for placing Reynolds and her daughter at risk. He also revealed that the entire encounter had been captured on a squad car's dash camera, revealing that Reynolds had been telling the truth. Castile told Yanez repeatedly that he was not reaching for the gun in his pocket before Yanez opened fire, shooting Castile seven times. Their interaction lasted less than 60 seconds. In Castile's wallet, police found his permit to legally carry the firearm. \"To those who would say this incident is Philando Castile's fault,\" said Choi. \"I would submit that no reasonable officer knowing seeing and hearing what Officer Yanez did at the time would have used deadly force under these circumstances.\" The transcript Philando Castile: Sir, I have to tell you that I do have a firearm on me. Officer Jeronimo Yanez: (interrupting) Okay. Okay, don't reach for it then. Castile: I'm ... I'm ... [inaudible] reaching ... Yanez: (interrupting) Don't pull it out. Castile: I'm not pulling it out. Reynolds: He's not pulling it out. Yanez: Don't pull it out! (Yanez opens fire) Castile: I wasn't reaching for it. SOURCE: Ramsey County Attorney Watching the video of the press conference with Jackson, Taylor broke down. \"I could hear him saying it,\" he said. \"He's not an aggressive guy - he's soft spoken. I could just see him.\" Choi called Castile \"calm\", \"compliant\" and \"respectful\". The prosecutor cleared both Castile and Reynolds of any wrongdoing during the incident. Choi ended the persistent, unfounded rumours that Castile had just robbed a convenience store. None of this was news to Castile's friends. \"This was an innocent person, a taxpaying person, a citizen,\" said Jackson. It's been a trying four months for the Castile family, who grew weary of defending their son's life from attack. Greg Crockett, another regular on Taylor's porch, experienced it as well, seeing all manner of conspiracy theories and slanderous accusations pop up about his friend on social media. \"He worked hard for his money. He didn't rob no gas station,\" Crockett said. \"I swear to you I feel it in my soul.\" The porch is about four blocks away from the apartment above a shop where Castile lived with his mother as a little kid. They'd moved from St Louis, Missouri, in order to escape violent surroundings. They settled just blocks from the stately, two-storey grey house where Castile's grandparents lived, a kind of base of operations for the rapidly growing Castile clan. \"All the grandkids was raised in that house,\" said Jackson. \"That was like the day care.\" By cutting behind the house, Castile and Jackson would emerge at Taylor's, climb up onto the porch, and watch the neighbourhood pass by. \"'Y'all boring,'\" Taylor remembers the other boys taunting them when they preferred to sit rather than accompany them on more mischievous adventures. Instead, they played football in a vacant lot, haggled over basketball cards. They rode their bikes around the neighbourhood, which even in the 1990s still had the residual feel of a small town. It had once been at the heart of the thriving, historically black neighbourhood known as Rondo, which was decimated by the construction of the I-94 highway in the 1960s. As Castile was growing up, there were more drugs, more fights. None of that appealed to him, say his friends - an asthmatic boy in glasses and braces who excelled at pretty much any video game he tried. \"Phil was basically the same dude as a 12, 13-year-old as he was as a 32-year-old,\" said Crockett. \"He was always quiet. He never got angry. He never, ever got angry.\" It was also around this time that Crockett recalled one of their first encounters with police, while walking from one of their houses to another after dark. A police car pulled up alongside of them. Without thinking, Crockett said, they all took off running. \"I went and hid in the bushes,\" said Crockett. \"I don't know why.\" Over the years, the friends racked up dozens of experiences being pulled over or ticketed by the police for various driving violations - since the age of 19, Castile was pulled over 52 times, an average of three stops every year. Jackson said that his cousin's choice to stay out of trouble, maintain a clean record, and to move up the ranks of the St Paul Public School's food services division, was a deliberate one. \"There was plenty of times our cousins and friends tried to get us to do stuff in the streets or whatever, but he wasn't on that,\" said Jackson. \"He had a vision and he wanted to fulfil that vision, and just be a citizen and work a nine to five, honest job.\" After watching Choi's announcement at Taylor's house, the two friends went to a rally at JJ Hill Montessori Magnet School, where Castile worked. Taylor held a hand-painted sign over his head: \"Yanez Murdered Castile\". \"Some justice is better than none,\" said Jackson. \"[But] it should have been farther than manslaughter.\" There will almost certainly be a trial - the union representing the officer put out a statement cautioning that \"Officer Yanez is innocent of these charges until proven guilty\". Meanwhile, life on the porch will never be the same. The Castile's family home around the corner was lost to foreclosure years ago. New houses are springing up in the vacant lots they once used as a football field - the families they knew are leaving under the persistent nudge of gentrification. On the porch, there will always be an empty seat. \"I lost my guy,\" said Crockett. \"That's hundreds of hours of conversation that have not taken place.\"",

By the 2nd of September the forces fought back and managed to take control the whole area. Deserted town Sampur is now a completely deserted town. It is full of ruins of old buildings and damaged houses. There is no one left in this area apart from the army soldiers. I saw Bicycles on the roads that were left behind by the Tamil rebels while running away from the advancing security forces. Electricity cables in the area have been destroyed during the battle. \"Sampur was like the heart of LTTE, our forces have not been to Sampur for at least a decade,\" comments Commanding officer Padmasiri Talwatta. Soldiers say they fought LTTE face to face during the battle. Photographs of the fallen Sea Tigers were scattered all over the floor, in one of the abandoned Sea Tiger camps. Journalists witnessed that the security forces have now fully secured Sampur.",

            "input": "By Yojana Sharma . But when Wycombe Abbey, a girls' boarding school in Buckinghamshire, opens its doors in China in September, it will be not be launching a replica. Wycombe Abbey International in Changzhou near Shanghai will be co-educational, and will teach a hybrid of the Chinese and English curriculums within an English-style boarding school environment. Alongside international GCSEs and A-levels, pupils will follow a Chinese curriculum in mathematics. And it won't be serving international students or UK families in China. Around 90% of the students will be local Chinese. \"We're catering to the insatiable demand in China for an English-medium education,\" said Wycombe Abbey's headmistress Rhiannon Wilkinson, who has also taught in Hong Kong and Brunei. \"But we are also responding to a need for an English-style education system and Chinese methods,\" she said. \"They don't want to be westernised but they want to apply to western universities.\" International schools were once a virtual foreign enclave within the host country, a preserve of internationally-mobile expatriate families working for multinational companies. Now more local families are using international schools, where they study A-levels and International Baccalaureates from the UK and Advanced Placement programmes from the US, as a springboard to getting places in UK and US universities. Some parents also want their children to rub shoulders with an international elite and build contacts for a future career. More stories from the BBC's Knowledge economy series looking at education from a global perspective and how to get in touch Another motivation is to escape the relentless drudgery and ferocious competition of a local school system based on rote learning and geared only towards exams. \"Families are worried about the pressure of the system on their children,\" said Ms Wilkinson. There are now about 8,000 international schools around the world, teaching 4.26 million students, according to research by the International School Consultancy. Nowhere has growth been faster than in Asia. From less than a dozen such schools in each country a decade or so ago, Thailand now has over 172 international curriculum schools, half of them following England's national curriculum. Malaysia has 142, Japan 233, and Singapore - which makes it difficult for foreigners to enrol in local schools - around 63. Myanmar could also become a hotspot - Dulwich College will open there next year. Hong Kong which had 92 such schools in 2000 now has 171. Demand, particularly from local wealthy families is such that virtually all the leading international schools in Hong Kong have waiting lists, says ISC director Richard Gaskell, who is based in Bangkok. Only South Korea has seen a retraction, with some international schools struggling to fill places. But the big story is China. From a dozen schools 15 years ago, China has some 530 English-medium international schools, catering for 326,000 students. According to ISC Research, between 2010 and 2014 the number of international curriculum schools in Shanghai alone increased almost 40%, currently educating over 71,000 pupils. From a concentration in Beijing and Shanghai which together account for half the international schools in China, schools are spreading to other cities. Malvern College is in Qingdao and Chengdu. Dulwich College has expanded from its flagship schools in Shanghai and Beijing, to Suzhou and Zhuhai. Wellington has set up in Tianjin. \"A local authority such as Jiangsu province knows that if they put in a top brand school like Wycombe Abbey, they can attract more people into the area,\" said William Vanbergen, chief executive of BE Education, an education consultancy which brokered Wycombe Abbey's entry into China. There are less than a million foreigners in China. \"But the market size for the local, growing, middle-class Chinese is huge,\" said Mr Vanbergen, based in Shanghai. \"China loves brand names,\" said Mr Vanbergen. But these schools also boast fantastic sporting and other facilities unheard of in local schools, which are more focused on exams. He estimates there are \"100 UK schools looking to go into China.\" Dulwich College International with six schools in China, runs two types of school. It has four international schools which can only admit foreign nationals. But its two joint-venture high schools operated with a Chinese partner school in Suzhou and Zhuhai predominantly admit locals. Both types of school teach IGCSE and A-levels. The Chinese authorities keep strict controls on younger children studying an overseas curriculum. \"They do not want children getting a wrong view of history, and they are quite paranoid about the humanities,\" said ISC's Mr Gaskell, who believes these restrictions will continue. But the authorities are more relaxed about over-15 year olds following a foreign curriculum. It allows these students to improve their chances of getting into top overseas universities and it helps to attract prestigious schools. At the same time they are reining in so-called \"international streams\" in local schools which have burgeoned in recent years with variable quality. \"In China the need to get into top 100 universities is more intense than even 10 years ago and an international school is seen as a secure track for a very good education,\" said Laurence Cook of Dulwich College International (DCI) in Shanghai. \"The British boarding schools that have set up in China and elsewhere in Asia have an extremely high placement rate and are respected for being very well run.\" China's new wealthy are also looking at international schools for a different kind of education. Campbell Douglas, head of Dulwich in Zhuhai, a boarding school close to Hong Kong and Macau, says parents want something more than preparing for the competitive national college entrance, the \"gaokao\". \"There is a slow awakening in China that the gaokao does not allow for any other development of the child beyond the academic,\" said Mr Douglas. But it is often a leap of faith, requiring an early decision to abandon the local system, often with no easy way to return if they change their minds. And while parents want English immersion, they want to retain their own culture. \"Chinese parents want the best of both worlds, but fundamentally that their children remain Chinese,\" said Mr Vanbergen. It is creating a new hybrid trend, mixing eastern and western. Dulwich Colleges in China and in Singapore are teaching in English and Mandarin, responding to the demands not just of local families, but from families in other Asian countries such as Taiwan, Singapore and Malaysia. Wellington College says that its new outpost in Shanghai will teach a dual-language curriculum. Mr Cook, from Dulwich College International, said parents realise that the future is going to be increasingly global, and if they are going to succeed \"their children are going to have to cope with English and they can do that without sending them overseas\".",

            "input": "By Taylor-Dior RumbleEntertainment reporter While these kinds of posts aren't an unusual for celebrities on social media, Smith used this moment to open up about his battle with body image, admitting to starving himself for weeks ahead of upcoming photo shoots. \"Some may take this as narcissistic and showing off,\" he wrote in his Instagram post, which features some bad language so obviously ask your mum before you click. \"But if you knew how much courage it took to do this and the body trauma I have experienced as a kid you wouldn't think those things.\" With nearly a million likes, his fans have praised him for \"inspiring\" them with his \"beautiful\" message. In a 2016 survey of more than 1,000 boys aged between eight and 18, 55% said they would consider changing their diet to look better and 23% said they believed there was \"a perfect male body to strive for\". The survey also found that the four biggest sources of pressure on secondary school boys to look good were: Despite the relentless pressure that young men can feel from the media, the survey found that more than half of the boys (56%) would find it difficult to talk to a teacher about their confidence and nearly one-third (29%) would find it difficult talking to their parents about it. Here are eight other male celebrities who have spoken out about body image and are calling on the media to change their attitudes. 1. Antony Costa In 2017, Blue singer Antony Costa appeared on Lorraine and opened up about the \"fat-shaming\" he had experienced on social media. Costa explained that when he first started out in show business before the dawn of social media, receiving criticisms \"was water off a duck's back\" but now, the public are quick to point out flaws in selfies and paparazzi photos which he believes can be harmful. \"Me as a bloke in the business, it's hard because you've got to keep up with the joneses, to be seen to have the six pack,\" he said. \"But I'd rather be me and have a good personality then have a six pack\". 2. Chris Pratt Yes, you read that right! Actor Chris Pratt - who plays the gun-toting, butt-kicking, ripped Star-Lord in Guardians of the Galaxy - has struggled with body image, too. In a press conference for the film in 2014, he said: \"I'm sure I can't relate to what females go through in Hollywood. I'm sure I can't. \"But, I do know what it feels like to eat emotionally, and… to be sad and make yourself happy with food. \"And then to be almost immediately sad again and now ashamed and then to try to hide those feelings with more food. I know what that's like. It's a vicious cycle and it's a very real thing.\" 3. James Corden In an interview with Rolling Stone in 2016, talk show host James Corden opened up about how he dealt with his confidence in school. He explained: \"If you're big at school, you've really got two choices. You're going to be a target. If you go to school and you're me, you go, 'Right, I'm just going to make myself a bigger target. My confidence, it will terrify them.' That's how I felt in school.\" Corden also touched on his frustrations on the way Hollywood represents larger people. He said: \"I could never understand when I watch romantic comedies. The notion that for some reason unattractive or heavy people don't fall in love. \"If they do, it's in some odd, kooky, roundabout way - and it's not. It's exactly the same.\" 4. Wentworth Miller Prison Break actor Wentworth Miller opened up about his depression after being the subject of an internet meme joke by The Lad Bible in 2016. Miller wrote in a Facebook post: \"In 2010, at the lowest point in my adult life, I was looking everywhere for relief/comfort/distraction. And I turned to food.\" He continued: \"It could have been anything. Drugs. Alcohol. Sex. But eating became the one thing I could look forward to. Count on to get me through\". 5. Alex Sharp Alex Sharp starred alongside Lily Collins in Netflix drama To The Bone, which follows a girl's treatment for anorexia. When Collins' character is admitted into a recovery home with six other patients, she meets Luke (played by Sharp), the only male patient in the house. Talking to Broadway World about portraying a man struggling with an eating disorder, Sharp said: \"It happens a lot and I think sometimes - because it is under-discussed and a taboo subject generally - when it is discussed it tends to be more about the female experience, because it is more prevalent, numerically. \"There had never been a representation of that in a feature-length movie. So that was something I was very interested in doing.\" 6. Ashley Hamilton Iron Man 3 star Ashley Hamilton told People in 2013 that he had suffered from bulimia and anorexia since he was a teenager and that he used drugs and alcohol to control his food addiction. \"I've been free from bulimia for years but I still struggle with food, restricting or overeating. That's been the hardest for me in sobriety,\" he admitted. He continued: \"It's almost like drug addiction is totally acceptable to talk about in Hollywood. But food addiction? Nobody wants to talk about that. It's really shameful as a man to have that.\" 7. Ed Sheeran The chart-topping singer told Planet Radio in a 2014 interview: \"I was never really happy with my image and then I realised it was because I was eating fried food and drinking beer every day. You don't have to kill yourself by getting into shape. Just eat right and don't drink every day.\" Commenting on body image pressures in the music industry, Sheeran said: \"There's enough fat people in the industry and there's enough skinny people in the industry and there's enough ginger people in the industry. \"There's enough of everyone in the industry, and usually the ones that aren't attractive are the ones that do the best.\" 8. Matt McGorry Before starring in Orange is the new Black and How to Get Away With Murder, Matt McGorry used to be a personal trainer and competitive bodybuilder, which actually made him more critical of his body. When asked what we could do to change the conversation around male body issues he told US TV show Today: \"When we lock our boys away from these feelings, not only are they more likely to hurt themselves but they're also more likely to hurt others and to be the ones who are policing masculinity amongst other men.\" 9. Robert Pattinson Despite being nominated as one of the world's \"sexiest men alive\" in 2009, Twilight star Robert Pattinson has still admitted to feeling insecure. In an interview with Australia's Sunday Style magazine in 2013, the Twilight actor revealed he suffers from body dysmorphia - an anxiety disorder that causes a person to have a distorted view of how they look. \"I don't have a six-pack and I hate going to the gym. I've been like that my whole life. I never want to take my shirt off,\" he said. Follow us on Facebook, on Twitter @BBCNewsEnts, or on Instagram at bbcnewsents.

Dwr Cymru Welsh Water is launching a campaign to warn people about the pollution and flooding which results. It says most of the 2,000 blockages a month are caused by items like cotton buds being flushed down the toilet. The company called for \"collective support\" to tackle the problem. \"Cutlery, giant cuddly toys, cans, bricks, mobile phones, tricycles - it's surprising what we find in our sewer network,\" said Steve Wilson, director of waste water services. He added: \"Most of the 2,000 blockages we deal with every month are caused by everyday items put down the toilet such as wipes, sanitary towels, cotton buds and dental floss, as well as fat, oil and grease that people have put down their drains. \"A lot of people aren't even aware that these items can cause sewer flooding and pollution in their homes and communities. \"It is actually illegal to throw or empty anything into our network that's likely to damage a sewer or drain or to interfere with its free flow. \"Anyone who has suffered a flood in their home because of a blocked drain or sewer will know the damage and personal upset that it causes. \"With the collective support of enough people we will be able to reduce the blockages, floods and pollution that cause so much distress.\" The Let's Stop the Block campaign aims to change behaviour, especially among groups believed to have the biggest impact, such as teenage girls and students, young parents, health workers, and restaurant and takeaway workers. A number of \"block hotspots\" will also be targeted - Rhondda Cynon Taf and Caerphilly, the south Wales coastal area from Newport to Carmarthenshire, and parts of Flintshire, Wrexham and Denbighshire. Cardiff North (postcode area CF14) is number one in the company's list of top 10 blockage hotspots. Patricia Abdul-Rafin from Heath, Cardiff, who has suffered from sewage flooding many times, said: \"It was very unpleasant, smelly and upsetting. \"My husband was on dialysis and we were worried about contamination,\" she said. \"We were told that as we were at the end of a line of houses it could be that people may have put nappies, sanitary towels and other items down the toilet and it had blocked the sewer. \"A build-up of fat and grease from homes and businesses also added to the problem.\" Natural Resources and Food Minister Alun Davies said: \"Flooding from blocked sewers can have a devastating effect on our homes, our streets and the wider environment. \"Wales is lucky enough to have some of the best rivers, beaches and coastline in the world and we can all do our bit to stop the block and help reduce the risk of pollution and flooding in our communities.\" Keep Wales Tidy chief executive Lesley Jones added: \"Many small items such as cotton buds end up as litter on our beautiful beaches and fats or oils down the sink can end up causing sewage overflow into our seas. \"This can spoil an otherwise pleasant visit to our wonderful coastline.

Dozens of protesters chanted \"shame on you\" outside the Brunei-owned Dorchester hotel in London on Saturday. Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt said he had expressed \"deep UK opposition\" to the new laws to Brunei's government. But the Foreign Office said \"threatening to kick countries out of the Commonwealth\" was not the \"best way\" to encourage Brunei to uphold its human rights obligations. Addressing the crowd outside the Dorchester, Ms Thornberry said actions should have consequences and Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah of Brunei should be shunned until the anti-LGBT laws are revoked. She added: \"Any hatred against anyone is hatred against all of us. \"Our fight is with the sultan of Brunei. Our fight is with this terrible law. We say no.\" Ms Thornberry and the shadow minister for women and equalities Dawn Butler on Friday wrote to the foreign secretary to call for the prime minister to \"take a leading role in condemning these laws and calling for strong action to be taken\". UK PM Theresa May is the current Commonwealth chair-in-office - a main leadership role in the association. 'Tyrannical regime' Gay rights campaigner Peter Tatchell, who organised the demonstration and is calling for a boycott of all of the sultan's companies, said: \"There can be no normal business relations with an abnormal tyrannical regime like that of Brunei. \"What the sultan has done has introduced punishments the same as Isis implemented in Iraq and Syria during its so-called caliphate, including brutal stoning to death of people convicted of homosexuality, adultery and insulting the Prophet Muhammad.\" He described the \"close\" relationship between the Queen and the sultan as \"quite wrong\", saying she should not \"collude and consort with dictators like the sultan\". More than 65,000 people had signed a petition on the UK parliament website on Saturday evening that called on the government to \"urgently call for an end to human rights violations against the LGBT community in Brunei\". Talk show host Ellen DeGeneres and actor George Clooney are among those urging the public to boycott luxury hotels owned by Brunei. Organisations including English National Ballet and the Financial Times have cancelled events at The Dorchester amid the backlash. Dorchester Collection, the company that manages nine hotels including the Park Lane venue, has said it does not tolerate any form of discrimination.. On Saturday, the University of Oxford joined the University of Aberdeen and King's College London in saying it would reconsider its decision to award an honorary degree to the sultan of Brunei. Mr Hunt said on Thursday he had spoken to Brunei Foreign Minister Dato Erywan \"to express deep UK opposition, shared by many, to the introduction of Sharia law\". \"We understand countries are responsible for their rules, but we will always speak out to defend our values, including the freedom to be who you are and love without fear,\" he said. The Foreign Office said in a statement Brunei's laws were \"cruel, inhumane and degrading\". \"But rather than threatening to kick countries out of the Commonwealth, we believe the best way to make progress and encourage Brunei to uphold its international human rights obligations is via a constructive dialogue on this issue,\" it added. Before the new laws were announced, homosexuality was already illegal in Brunei and punishable by up to 10 years in prison. The former British colony has retained the death penalty but has not carried out an execution since 1957. The new laws mostly apply to Muslims - who make up about two-thirds of the country's population of 420,000 - though some aspects will apply to non-Muslims.",

In December, the US Commerce Department ruled the UK and Canada had given unfair subsidies to Bombardier to help it build its C-Series aircraft. The UK government says it has remained \"proactive from the outset\". The US Commerce Department proposed tariffs of 292% on any imported planes. On Friday, the International Trade Commission (ITC) will rule if Boeing has been harmed by the subsidies. If the commission decides the US-based firm has been harmed, then the tariffs will come into effect and the C-Series will effectively be shut out of the all-important US market - with implications for thousands of jobs in Belfast. A BBC NI Spotlight investigation uncovered a substantial difference in approach to the case between the UK and Canadian Governments. While the UK submission to the ITC in December was only four pages long, the Canadian submission ran to more than 170 pages. \"It's clear that the UK government has not come in full force, certainly not at the International Trade Commission,\" former ITC Commissioner, Prof Jennifer Hillman, told Spotlight. The programme reveals that the government told authorities at the US Department of Commerce that it didn't consider itself a \"legally proper party\" to the dispute. Although UK government lawyers answered many lengthy and detailed questions put to them by the US Department of Commerce officials, a number of replies were late - with varying excuses offered when requesting extra time. In one letter, a UK official offers the excuse that the Department for International Trade is a new department in a new building, and \"many of the files which need to be examined are still packed\". In another letter to the US Department of Commerce, lawyers for the UK offer the \"Twelfth Fortnight\" in Northern Ireland as a reason for not being able to reply on time. \"It is common practice for employees to take longer vacations during the weeks surrounding the 12th (known as the \"Twelfth Fortnight\"),\" the letter states. \"And the employees in the government offices in Northern Ireland responsible for gathering documents and providing information in response to the Department's questionnaire will be out of the office for the remainder of this week.\" Business Secretary Greg Clark rejects the accusation that the government's approach has been less than \"full force\". \"Quite the reverse, right from the outset, we have worked vigorously,\" he told the programme. \"Personally, I have never seen such a high level, consistent level of engagement.\" But Shadow Secretary of State for Northern Ireland Owen Smith is critical of the government's approach and submission to the ITC. \"They have been more concerned with the optics of looking to be doing a good job, defending jobs here in Belfast, rather than doing so,\" he said. Spotlight's full investigation airs on Wednesday at 20:30 GMT on BBC One NI and at 23:25 on the BBC News Channel. It will also be available on the BBC iPlayer. A spokesman for the department said: \"The UK government has remained proactive from the outset of the Bombardier dispute, working with the Canadians to ensure all evidence provided is thorough and robust. \"This includes the UK submitting more than 7,000 pages of evidence to the US International Trade Administration and International Trade Commission.\"",

His speech in Inverness came days after the date of the Scottish independence referendum was announced. Voters will go to the polls in the vote on 18 September 2014. They will be asked the yes/no question: \"Should Scotland be an independent country?\" Mr Salmond used his speech to set out his vision for an independent Scotland, while attacking the policies of the UK government. He told delegates that the Scottish governnment's council of economic advisers had been asked to produce an analysis of the impact on Scotland of moving to levels of childcare support seen across other European countries. The first minister said: \"Our ambitions for childcare are the hallmark of our approach to social and economic policy - we promote the measures we do because they advance both our economy and our society. \"Some argue there is a contradiction between the two, but the reality that a progressive social policy boosts the economy, and a dynamic economy enables us to build the fairer society we want. Each is the handmaiden of the other.\" Mr Salmond placed no timetable on the aspiration, telling delegates: \"It will not be done in a day, or a year, or even completed in the first term of an independent parliament. \"But I believe a transformational shift towards childcare should be one of the first tasks of an independent Scotland.\" Mr Salmond said the devolved Scottish government had already taken steps to improve opportunities for youngsters, including a widening of free nursery care. He told the gathering: \"For every young mum and dad juggling work and parenthood, this SNP government is here for you and your family.\" At the same time, the SNP leader highlighted the \"glaring inequality\" of last week's unemployment figures which showed 66% of women in jobs, compared with 76% of men. He said: \"If we closed the opportunity gap, we would add to our national wealth and to our taxation base by mobilising the skills of women into our workforce.\" Mr Salmond's speech came after legislation on the arrangements for holding the referendum was this week introduced to the Scottish Parliament. The SNP leader said it was time to move on to the \"why\" of independence, saying social change could release Scotland's untapped potential and make it a \"prosperous economy and a just society\". He said of the referendum: \"That choice - the real choice - becomes clearer by the day. \"The opportunity to use our vast resources and talent to build a better country, or to continue with a Westminster system that simply isn't working for Scotland - a system which has not worked in the past and will not work in the future.\" Benefit changes Mr Salmond also used the tenth anniversary of the invasion of Iraq and the basing of Trident nuclear weapons on the Clyde to attack the UK government. He said: \"The catastrophe of Iraq shows why our parliament needs to have the powers of independence - so that never again can Scotland be dragged into an illegal war under false pretences.\" The first minister also said: \"Trident is Westminster's ultimate vanity obscenity but now is entirely dependent on next year's vote. \"Because, delegates, it's now clear that the only way we can finally remove these weapons of mass destruction is with a 'yes' vote for independence.\" Mr Salmond also hit out at UK government welfare reforms to further the independence cause, including an attack on housing benefit changes, branded the \"bedroom tax\" by critics. He said: \"This is an iniquitous, unfair, anti-family imposition conceived because of runaway rent levels in the south. \"Why should people who would impose such iniquity have any power and authority over the Scottish people?\" Mr Salmond said all SNP-led councils would halt the threat of evictions for those whose housing benefits are reduced if they have a spare bedroom.",

He said: \"My wife and I have so enjoyed this opportunity to meet you all and if I may say so to have a chance to pay our respects at the memorial. \"We just wanted to take this opportunity to congratulate all those who've been involved in ensuring such a marvellous memorial is there in memory of all those many people who died so tragically, not only in 1913, but in 1901. \"And in the fact you are commemorating so many other mining disasters which have afflicted so many other communities in this remarkable part of south Wales. 'Debt of gratitude' \"I think we owe such an enormous debt of gratitude, respect and appreciation to those people - so many from the same families - who went underground and were courageous and determined enough to do so. \"Both of us are enormously proud to have this opportunity to be here.\" The couple met mother well-wisher Helen Manship, and shared a playful moment with her one-year-old daughter Evie-Rae, who seemed thoroughly bemused by the royal attention. Mrs Manship said the heir to the throne seemed in good spirits. \"I told him I was a mum of three, and he said 'you've got your hands full then' and then joked 'have they got permission to be off school?\"' she said. Hilary Barbrook, 74, lost two grandfathers in the 1913 disaster. She said: \"They brought my one grandfather Hopkins James up, and he's buried in the nearby cemetery. \"My other grandfather Charles Brown, they couldn't find his body. 'Very emotional' \"Then 15 months after the explosion, they opened up that part of the mine and they found him and he was only recognisable from a ring he had on.\" Ms Barbrook, who now lives in Caerphilly, said it was still \"very emotional\". She welcomed the royal visit and said: \"I think it's very important for the recognition of what we've tried to do for all of Wales.\" The duchess also visited Usk as part of a tour of a number of locations taking part in the Britain in Bloom competition. She met school children, business owners and members of the community. The prince was visiting Crickhowell and also Llwyn Celyn at Crucorney Fawr, a Grade I listed 15th Century farmstead, recently acquired by the Landmark Trust.

            "input": "By Miriam AnnenbergBBC Stories As the plane touched down in Johannesburg, Sara-Jayne King caught her breath. More than 25 years had passed since she had last seen South Africa. She had no conscious memories of it. She had left Johannesburg as a seven-week-old infant, to be deposited by her biological mother in England. The years in between had not been easy. Sara-Jayne had never come to terms with being abandoned by her birth mother, and had struggled as a biracial child in middle-class Surrey. She got off the plane, walking through the airport and towards the car that would take her to the rehab centre. Here, Sara-Jayne hoped to rid herself of her self-harming behaviour and sort out the pieces of her life. As the car swept her along, a familiarity washed over her. \"I've been here before,\" she thought. \"I've been here before, and I belong.\" Growing up in the home counties, Sara-Jayne knew she looked different from her parents, but never thought of \"black\" as her identity until others in the town pointed it out. Her classmates often touched her hair, telling her it felt like wire wool. For a long time, Sara-Jayne was the only black girl she knew. Others told her she was different, so she felt different. \"We sort of absorb other people's views of us,\" she says. Bit by bit, Sara-Jayne came to feel there was something wrong with being black. Grappling with her race and adoption became a constant, uncomfortable reminder that she lacked a clear picture of who she was. What it meant to be black, or South African or adopted - it was all muddled in Sara-Jayne's mind. She felt alienated and alone. The details of her adoption were vague. She was told her adoptive mother had been unable to have a baby, and that she herself had come from South Africa. That was all. She had one older brother who was also adopted and black. Her only other reference to black people was 1980s British television, which she said was neither realistic nor flattering to people of colour. Other than that, she had no racial mirrors. \"I woke up every morning and looked out across fields and saw chickens and lambs,\" she says. \"I really was living a very sort of white, middle-class existence.\" In her village, Crowhurst, Africans were viewed as destitute. Her school held food collections for starving children in Ethiopia. Sara-Jayne remembers seeing children covered in flies in dusty landscapes and assumed those images defined her, as well. \"It was a place to be pitied and it was a place to sort of turn one's nose up at,\" she says. \"It was a place to be grateful that I had been rescued from.\" While Sara-Jayne believed being black was bad, she soon learned blackness and brownness came in varying degrees. While her blackness was undesirable, others' could be attractive. When she was eight years old, three girls from Mauritius moved to town. They were beautiful, with soft wavy hair and glowing skin. They were the right type of brown people. Meanwhile, Sara-Jayne's hair proved unruly. Every Sunday morning her father struggled to brush it as Sara-Jayne squirmed in pain. It was something she felt guilty about until she had it relaxed for the first time as a teenager. Despite their best intentions, her family exacerbated her feeling of isolation. Sara-Jayne remembers once watching the summer Olympics with her grandmother. As the competition began, she turned to Sara-Jayne, informing her that she would cheer for Britain and her granddaughter could root \"for Africa\". At the age of 14, Sara-Jayne made an unexpected discovery. While snooping around her mother's room, she uncovered a letter from her biological mother, written nearly a year after her birth. The letter was addressed to her. She opened it and began reading. The story of her adoption, in shocking detail, unfolded before her. Find out more Listen to Sara-Jayne King on Outlook on the BBC World Service Get the Outlook podcast She learned that her biological mother, a white British woman in a relationship with a white man, had had an affair with a black man. When she became pregnant, she had been unsure which man was the father. The child appeared white at birth, and her mother named the baby Karoline. But a few weeks later her mother realised the child was not, in fact, white. Karoline was the black man's child, and her existence became not a source of parental joy, but a problem to be dealt with. At the time of Karoline's birth, the South African Immorality Act forbade interracial sexual relationships, and Karoline was proof of an illegal affair. So her biological mother and her husband, along with their doctor, devised a plan. They claimed Karoline suffered from a rare kidney disease and required advanced medical treatment in London. But once there they gave her up for adoption. Returning to South Africa empty-handed, the couple told everyone at home that Karoline had died. Sara-Jayne struggled with the knowledge that her mother had given her up, and had even pretended she was dead. \"The colour of my skin was so abhorrent, and what my biological parents had done was so disgusting, that I would have to be taken from my homeland and raised elsewhere,\" she says. \"I felt this feeling of how dreadful must one be as a person that the one person on Earth who is supposed to love you, and care for you, and nurture you no matter what, was able to do what my biological mother had done, which was to give away her child.\" This bitter feeling of rejection had begun to manifest itself even before Sara-Jayne read the letter. She had deliberately overdosed on Paracetamol at the age of 13. Later, she began cutting herself. A few years after reading the letter, in her first year studying law at the University of Greenwich, she contacted her biological mother through the adoption agency. She responded, saying she would answer Sara-Jayne's questions, but then had no desire for continued communication. She never expressed remorse or offered an apology. At around this time, Sara-Jayne developed an eating disorder and started self-medicating with alcohol and codeine. Despite this, she completed her degree and earned a master's degree in journalism from the University of Canterbury. She landed a string of good jobs, moving from England to Dubai and began building a successful radio career. But her past hung over her like a cloud she could not escape. Her adoptive father was no longer in her life, her brother had killed himself and her biological mother had rejected her a second time. Continuing to struggle with eating disorders, alcohol and self-harm she was fired from her job in Dubai. Eventually, she reached a breaking point. It was 2007 and time for Sara-Jayne to get help, and she discovered rehab was cheaper in South Africa. Leaving Johannesburg had set Sara-Jayne on her path towards emotional turmoil and substance abuse. She hoped returning would heal those wounds. On the final descent into Johannesburg, Sara-Jayne looked out over the country that could have been her home. \"We're still in the air and I thought, 'Something momentous is happening,'\" she says. \"The plane wheels touched down and I thought, 'I'm home.'\" As the car drove her to the rehab centre, she felt she had been on the same roads before - and as it turns out, she had. The hospital where her mother gave birth is only three streets away. Sara-Jayne thinks a sense of the place must have been engraved on her mind, at only a few weeks old. She felt instinctively that she belonged. Sara-Jayne spent about a year in treatment in South Africa, moving between Johannesburg and Cape Town. While there, she met her half-brother - her biological mother's other child - and for a while they were quite close. She returned to the UK, but, after several years of shuttling back and forth between London and Cape Town, she decided to move to South Africa. \"It felt like home,\" she says. As she stood in her room packing her bags the night before her move in 2013, her friend messaged her with the news that Nelson Mandela had died. \"The South Africa that I came back to, to call my permanent home, was a South Africa in mourning, but also in celebration,\" she says. \"It was South Africa at its best - and we don't see that very often.\" When Sara-Jayne touched down in South Africa, she knew this time it was for good. She was ready to realise her identity as a black South African woman. One step she needed to take was to formally change her name. \"Karoline\" had been a back-up name, an alternate version of Sara-Jayne had she been born white, but \"Karoline King\" was the name on her South African birth certificate. To fully become herself, Sara-Jayne needed to put Karoline to bed. Even in the UK, her name had technically been Sarah Jane; her adoptive parents had named her Sarah, with Jane as her middle name. In order to stand out from the other Sarahs at school, she dropped the H, added a Y to Jane and hyphenated them. This had been a small way for her to assert her own identity growing up, rather than the one forced upon her. Making it official was the next step. \"I'll never forget the day that I finally went in and I collected my ID book,\" she says. \"My name was Sara-Jayne King. And I thought, that's it. That fits. That's me.\" Two years ago, Sara-Jayne released a book chronicling the circumstances of her adoption and the trajectory of her life afterwards. She had hired a private investigator to help her find her biological father, but without success. Then, while promoting her book on the radio, she mentioned his name. That's when Twitter jumped into action. Within 36 hours of the radio show airing, she had her father's phone number. She dialled it, and, for the first time, heard his voice on the phone. They talked for 30 minutes. The pair spoke every day for a week before Sara-Jayne got on a plane to Johannesburg to meet her father, in person. They arranged to meet at a coffee shop in a shopping mall. It was, she says, the best day of her life. \"I will never forget him just walking around the corner, and we both just burst into tears, and he hugged me and he said, 'My daughter, my daughter,'\" she says. \"It suddenly dawned on me, I am someone's daughter. I am someone's daughter, and I belong.\" Two years later. Sara-Jayne is considering one more name change - adding her father's last name to her own and becoming Makwala King. Though she lives in Cape Town, working for Cape Talk radio, she travels occasionally to Johannesburg to see her father and her three half-siblings. She still has a close relationship with her adoptive mother in the UK, but rejoices at having found her South African family. And she now feels confident in her identity as a black South African. She never really felt British. When others attempt to put her in a box, it no longer throws her off balance like it used to. \"I think some people still find that a difficult concept that actually, you don't get to decide who I am and how I identify,\" she says. \"I couldn't give two hoots how other people think I should identify.\" All pictures courtesy of Sara-Jayne King, who is the author of Killing Karoline You may also be interested in...

            "input": "By Cindy SuiBBC News, Taipei It has never been a burning ambition of the cat-loving former law professor to be president, and she is virtually unique among East Asia's female leaders. Unlike South Korea's President Park Geun-hye and the Philippines' former President Corazon Aquino, Thailand's former PM Yingluck Shinawatra, she does not follow a father, brother or husband who was in a position of power. That is not unusual in Taiwan. Many of Taiwan's female politicians, including former Vice-President Annette Lu, Kaohsiung City Mayor Chen Chu, and chair of the Kuomintang party Hung Hsiu-chu, rose to powerful positions without having come from a political family. They have largely made it on their own. Women also shine in Taiwan's parliament. The island's women legislators are even seen leading the charge in Taiwan's infamous parliament scuffles. Following January elections, it now has a record percentage of women legislators at 38%, putting Taiwan far ahead of Asian countries, the international average of 22%, and most nations, including the UK, Germany, and the US. So why are only four of Ms Tsai's 40 cabinet members women? The cabinet spokesman blamed it on a dearth of experienced women in her party because it has been out of power for so many years and on the fact that women were elected to other posts. But he did admit that some women had turned down the offer of a job at the top table. One of them, 65-year-old Ho Mei-yueh, a former economics minister, told me she had devoted 33 years of her life to government, putting her own needs second while also raising a family. She just wants some time to herself now. It's the perennial question of a work-life balance for many women. \"I had to work and look after the kids. The only person I could neglect was myself,\" said Ms Ho. \"Would a man my age turn down the offer? Men, when they are young, they don't have to give so much of themselves, because the burden of taking care of the children does not fall on them. To many men, their job is their life.\" Still, it is so natural in Taiwan to see women in politics that little fuss has been made about Ms Tsai's gender. But take a closer look and it's clear that quotas are behind the relatively high percentages of Taiwanese women in politics. They stipulate that women must get half the \"at-large\" seats in the legislature and one out of every four seats in electoral districts in local council elections. \"It's in the constitution that there should be special positions for women. Only Scandinavian countries have adopted similar policies. It's certainly unique in Asia and other parts of the world,\" said Joyce Gelb, a New York-based professor, who has studied Taiwanese women's participation in politics. What has also helped was a commitment to women's representation even in the early decades of the Republic of China's existence, a history of women's activism, as well as a society with many highly educated and professional women able to take up positions of leadership, scholars say. Over the years, the number of women legislators has far exceeded the quota, leading some to argue it's no longer needed. But Ms Tsai's inability to put more women in her cabinet shows quotas are still useful to balance the scale. In elections without quotas such as for city mayors or county magistrates the percentage of women elected is only around 15%. Far fewer women run in elections compared to men. \"When it's a one-to-one race, men still tend to fare better because of their prior experience and personal connections..We still do not sufficiently nurture women to go into politics and government,\" said Chen Man-li, the director of an alliance of women's groups and newly-elected lawmaker. Women's groups say there is no doubt having women politicians makes a difference; it's easier to pass laws favourable to women, including on maternity leave and childcare. Nathan Batto, a Taipei-based Academia Sinica scholar who has studied women's participation in politics, says that with quotas political parties pay more attention to grooming female politicians. But still the greater challenge is changing society's views to make it easier for women to enter and crucially to stay in politics and that goes back to work-life balance. \"Women have a lot of obstacles in their way that men don't in developing their political careers,\" said Mr Batto. \"They have to have their family and spouse's support. The approval of your spouse is usually more automatic for men than women.\" Taiwan is leagues ahead of other places, but it's worth noting that none of the top four female political figures in Taiwan are married or have children.",

Protesters, including Crimean Tatars, are preventing the repair work. Russia has warned of retaliatory measures. Ukraine is planning new rules for cargo traffic for the southern peninsula, which was annexed by Russia in 2014. There has been disruption to road and rail traffic to and from Crimea since Ukrainian nationalists and Crimean Tatars began a border blockade in September. Crimean Tatar leader Mustafa Dzhemilev said the protesters would only let engineers repair two pylons that serve areas of mainland Ukraine - not the two linked to Crimea. Russia does not have a land border with Crimea, which gets about 70% of its electricity from Ukraine. Economic impact Most of Crimea's two million people have been hit by the power cut. There are also water shortages. Public transport is still running and hospitals are using generators. But the blackout has shut down many businesses and plunged the streets into darkness. A state of emergency was imposed on Sunday and Monday was declared a non-working day. The blackout forced the closure of some 150 schools. \"We are outraged by the cut-off... because a lot of us have electric cookers, we can't wash properly at the moment... our fridges are defrosting,\" Sevastopol resident Raisa Kazhyrnova told Reuters news agency. Ukraine's state energy company, Ukrenergo, said the damage to the pylons was caused by \"shelling or the use of explosive devices\". Trade tensions Ukrainian PM Arseniy Yatsenyuk said the government \"is temporarily banning cargo traffic on the administrative border\" between Ukraine and Crimea. He also warned Ukraine would respond in kind if Russia introduced an embargo on Ukrainian products, as Moscow has threatened to do. Russia is angry at Ukraine's decision to implement a free trade agreement with the EU on 1 January 2016. Russia says the deal will undermine its producers, because EU exporters are likely to use Ukraine as a back door into the Russian market. Russia has blamed Ukrainian nationalists and Crimean Tatar activists for the pylon damage, calling it \"an act of terrorism\". Crimean Tatar activists said Russia must release \"political prisoners\" and let their leaders return to Crimea in exchange for the repair work. Emergency timetable Crimean Tatar activists accuse Russia of abusing their rights. Crimean authorities said they had managed to partially reconnect some cities using generators. But emergency power-saving measures have been imposed across the peninsula. Russia has started laying undersea cables to connect Crimea to its power grid. But the first phase will only take effect next month and the switch to Russia as the main supplier will take several years to complete.",

The rugby coach dragged the man out with the help of a lifeguard. But while carrying out CPR he was told about a boy at the bottom of the pool. Mr Muir told the BBC Scotland news website he had been working on the man for about five minutes when he heard a woman shout that there was another person drowning in the water. 'Completely lifeless' He said: \"I was administering compressions on his chest when a lady on my right yelled 'How long has that child been under the water for?' \"I turned around as I didn't expect to be dealing with two people and I could see a small person lying at the bottom of the pool. \"I was caught in two minds as to what to do. Do I stop doing what I'm doing and jump in or carry on?\" Mr Muir said two people then jumped in and pulled the boy out. \"He was completely lifeless,\" he said. \"When the ambulance arrived for the man they saw I was helping him so they went straight to the boy. \"At one point I could see the boy vomit so I thought there was hope.\" Mr Muir said he worked on the man for 40 minutes but had little hope that the man had survived. Police later confirmed that the man and his son had both died. Mr Muir, who owns Edinburgh dog kennel Bark n' Fly, said police told him the Chinese man had gone into the water with his five-year-old on his shoulders but had slipped and was unable to swim. They had been under the water for about six minutes before they were pulled out. Mr Muir said: \"I don't know how this could have happened with lifeguards on duty in a controlled environment for them to have been submerged in the water for six minutes. \"I feel devastated that we couldn't do more to save his life. We worked really hard to revive him and it was a valiant team effort with a woman who had been passing by. \"Kneeling by the pool with two dead people is a really powerful image to take away from this.

Residents and vehicles were also targeted in the November 2019 melee, said by one officer to be among the worst violence he had seen in 23 years. The trio previously admitted a violent disorder charge at Leeds Crown Court. Prosecutor Tom Storey said the disorder \"quickly became fairly substantial\" and lasted for nearly five hours. \"Make-shift barricades were erected across the main Harehills Road, comprising bread crates, wheelie bins and roadwork barriers; some of these were set alight by those involved,\" he told the court. \"In addition, fireworks were let off in considerable quantities. \"Some of these were used as missiles aimed at local residents and passing vehicles; once the police began attending, they became the focal point for the discharge of fireworks, along with other missiles, such as bottles, bricks and stones.\" As well as the injuries to officers, he said, one resident was \"clipped\" on the head by a firework which then exploded in his living room, and a betting shop was also targeted. He said 13 police vehicles and four buses were damaged, with repairs costing more than £56,000. In addition, the court heard, deploying extra officers and investigating the disorder had cost West Yorkshire Police more than £160,000. 'Fear and distress' Georgia Walker and Zohaib Ahmed, both 19, and Josh Smith, 22, were sentenced on Friday. Mr Storey told the court Walker, who was 17 at the time, had been seen breaking up bricks to throw, kicking over bins and also pushed a member of the public who was trying to intervene. Ahmed, also 17 at the time, was seen firing up to six rockets at officers while Smith, then 21, was described as \"one of the main contributors to the disorder\" after he was was seen throwing missiles and setting fires. Passing sentence, Judge Simon Batiste said he was \"horrified and sickened\" by the behaviour of those involved. \"This incident resulted in serious fear and distress, caused substantial cost to the public purse, extensive damage to public property and involved repeated attacks on police and other public servants,\" he said.

The parish council is currently trying to get approval from central government to buy it. John Tham, a trustee for the charitable trust, which owns the Winch House, said the building was bought and restored 26 years ago. He said it was time to sell it and if the council could buy the building it would be \"a good result all round\". He added that the money from the sale would go to other charities, including one which saves hedgehogs. Vice chairman Nigel Green said: \"The council unanimously supports both the purchase of the buildings and the holding of the freehold by the council in perpetuity. \"The council is fortunate to be a body that never dies, and so is a safe pair of hands to hold prized community assets in perpetuity.\" The other two buildings are used by fishermen for storing their catch, mending nets and pots and also house an art gallery and two shops selling fresh fish. They are currently not for sale, but the fishermen want to prevent the buildings from ending up on the open market. Cadgwith Fishing Cove Trust is trying to raise £300,000 to buy those two buildings to protect them from any future development. Brett Jose, trustee and fisherman, said the group was \"amazed\" by the response to the fundraising campaign which has raised more than £115,000. Mr Green said the owners of the three buildings had been \"very responsible, community-minded custodians, who have allowed fishing to continue unchanged during their period of ownership over many years, and the whole community are very thankful for that\". Sarah Stephens, from Cadgwith, said the buildings were central to the character of the cove. \"You take the fishing out of here and you'll just have a silent village and the heartbeat will be gone,\" she said.

He was the country's first democratically elected leader but was forced to resign in February and replaced by his deputy, Mohamed Waheed. Mr Nasheed says he was the victim of a coup but this is denied by the security forces and President Waheed who says elections will be held in July 2013. Mr Nasheed ordered the army in January to arrest the chief judge of the criminal court, accusing him of political bias and corruption. But the detention the judge provoked weeks of unrest, culminating in fomer President Nasheed's resignation. The BBC's Alastair Leithead in the capital Male says that the country is becoming increasingly tense, with protesters battling the police every night for more than a week to demand new elections. Police have used batons and pepper spray to break up the demonstrations which are led by Mr Nasheed's Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP). The MDP have accused police of using \"brutal force\" to break up their rallies, injuring several people and arresting hundreds of party members.

The average cost of a funeral has increased by 87% since the survey was first conducted in 2004. SunLife described a 39% jump in estate administration fees as a \"significant\" factor in this year's increase. The figures are set out in SunLife Direct's annual Cost of Dying report, which said that hiring a professional such as a solicitor now accounts for more than a third of expenditure associated with a person's death. The report found that saving money was a key motivation for the increased number of people who choose to manage their loved ones' affairs without professional help. 'Complex process' Responding to the survey's findings, a Law Society spokesperson said that enlisting a solicitor \"may save time and money in the future by ensuring things are done right the first time\". Another factor influencing how much people spent was the type of funeral, since cremation tends to be less expensive than burial. The average burial cost is now £3,982, a rise of 2% since last year and 89% since the survey began in 2004. Dr Kate Woodthorpe, a sociologist from the University of Bath and author of the SunLife report, said the costs of funerals were rising \"on numerous fronts\". Funeral directors' fees reflect the costs of \"staff salaries, the expense of running a business, but also the costs recovered by local authorities\", she explained. \"Local authorities are trying to preserve land by removing subsidies for burial, and in the case of cremation trying to recover the costs of meeting mercury emissions targets,\" she said. 'Funding slashed' A spokesman for the Local Government Association responded that local government funding had been \"slashed\" over the past three years which meant \"councils have been forced to examine all their services carefully\". \"Where services have been subsidised by council tax payers previously, as has been the case with some cemeteries and crematoriums, councils have had no choice but to review the fees they charge,\" the spokesman said. Cost also varied widely across different regions. The average funeral cost in the London area was £10,498, compared with £5,893 in Northern Ireland. The cost of a funeral will not always be met by families. When a person dies without relatives or the relatives are unable to pay, local councils or the NHS can provide a public health funeral. Dr Woodthorpe argued that \"we don't have a culture of talking about death, which means we often don't plan properly, and we need to address that\".",

Ms Goldsmith said West Sussex fire service was already integrated within the council and served communities. She added last year's Shoreham air disaster showed how West Sussex emergency services already worked together.

On Tuesday, Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service said its operation had ended and neighbouring roads reopened. It also means residents from two neighbouring streets are allowed to return home. Nine properties in Royce Close and Railton Avenue were also evacuated while crews tackled the blaze. The residents had previously only been allowed to return for 20 minutes on Sunday to collect essential items. Assistant Chief Fire Officer Gus O'Rourke thanked residents for their \"patience and co-operation\". Investigations are ongoing into how the blaze, which is believed to have started in the roof, was able to spread so rapidly, but it is not thought to be arson. Crews worked through the weekend to damp down the site, where much of the building collapsed. Of those residents evacuated from Beechmere, some were temporarily placed in nearby care homes while others stayed with family members. Mark Palethorpe from Cheshire East Council, said 13 residents were now in permanent extra care accommodation and its focus was to support residents into longer term homes as soon as possible.

Organisers said \"challenging ground conditions\" had been compounded by \"people not following directions\", causing tailbacks on local roads. However, they said the event had had a \"great first year\" at Strathallan. There were 54 arrests during the four days the festival's campsites were open, on a par with figures from the previous year, and a 36-year-old man was found dead in the toilets on Saturday. The suitability of the local road network for the high volume of festival traffic was one of the issues raised during a planning battle over the choice of Strathallan following the event's move across Perthshire from Balado. After lengthy delays which saw some fans unable to leave the site until 02:00 on the first night of the festival on Friday, bosses apologised and said they would \"review the situation\". Event manager Colin Rodger said approximately 500 people had attempted to walk three miles back to an unofficial campsite \"in an unsuitable location\", restricting access to pick-up points. After a second night of long queues and delays on Saturday, festival director Geoff Ellis said his team were \"working hard\" to rectify delays. Wet conditions left many vehicles needing to be towed from one car park, and Mr Ellis said the current team \"don't have the benefit of 18 years of infrastructure that we did at Balado\". He also hit out at a \"high volume of people\" attempting to walk from the site, causing tailbacks. A further statement was released on Monday as queues again formed, reading: \"Due to challenging ground conditions, there have been a number of vehicles in ditches this morning and this compounded with people not following directions and going to the wrong exists which has resulted in these delays.\" Scottish Conservative MSP Liz Smith said it was \"not unexpected\" that there had been delays on the \"narrow country roads\". She said: \"It is very clear that a large number of people who attended the event were very frustrated by what they encountered when they were trying to enter and leave. This led to significant numbers of people walking along dangerous roads. \"There has to be a major review of what happened this year.\" 'Great year' Mr Ellis admitted the event had \"not been perfect\", but said it had been a \"great first year\" overall. He said: \"We know traffic queues have left some people frustrated and we apologise for this, because obviously we want the experience to be positive for everyone from start to finish. \"We'll take learnings from this year and will work on improving the times for the future. \"Overall it's been a great first year at Strathallan - the bands were brilliant, the site looked wonderful and we know that the majority of people have had a fantastic time.\" Another concern raised in advance of the festival was for the well-being of a pair of ospreys nesting near the site, but RSPB Scotland said the event had gone off without disturbing the protected birds. A spokesman said the birds had been \"closely monitored\", and that they had stayed in place behaving normally throughout. Supt Colin Brown of Police Scotland thanked festival-goers for \"behaving responsibly\", saying that while some of the 54 arrests had been for \"more serious offences\", the majority of them had been detected or had positive lines of inquiry. More than 200 acts played across the weekend, with headline performers including The Libertines, Avicii, Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds and Kasabian well received by the crowds. DF Concerts won permission to host the festival at Strathallan for three years, to give time for the local authority to study the event's impact before deciding on its long-term future.",

I've had little contact with him in the last three years and no contact or association whatsoever with Bray Boxing Club since 2015.\" Ms Taylor also criticised the \"misuse\" of her name and image in media coverage of the shooting. Innocent man A gunman, wearing either a balaclava or a boxing helmet, entered Bray Boxing Club and fired a number of shots at about 06:55 local time. Mr Messett, from County Wicklow, has been described as an innocent man who was in the wrong place at the wrong time. The getaway vehicle, a silver Volkswagen van with a Northern Ireland licence plate, was found burnt out close to the East Link Toll Plaza, near to the River Liffey in Dublin city centre. Gardai (Irish police) said it is believed that this van travelled from Bray through Shankill and the Cornelscourt area before being abandoned on Pigeon House Road at about 08:05 local time where a man was seen leaving the van and cycling away. Katie Taylor is the woman's unified lightweight champion and won gold at the 2012 London Olympics. Handgun On Tuesday, Supt Patrick Ward said there were about 15 to 20 people in the gym when the shooting took place. \"They were about to start the gym session when a gunman came in carrying a firearm - we believe it was a handgun.\" He added that police believed the man who was killed was \"just using the gym like anyone else\" and they did not know the exact number of shots fired but that \"more people could have been injured\". Despite the shooting, promoter Eddie Hearn has revealed that Katie Taylor still intends to fight on the undercard of the 28 July heavyweight fight between Dillian Whyte and Joseph Parker. Who is Katie Taylor? For many people, the 2012 Olympics in London was their first introduction to Katie Taylor. She won gold in the lightweight division while cheered on by a roof-raising Irish crowd at the Excel Exhibition Centre in London. But the Bray-born boxer was a highly-successful and dominant amateur fighter leading up to her Olympic success after being trained by her father Pete. He was in her corner during her run to the gold medal in London as well as when she claimed five world championship gold medals. The pair split in 2016, months before the Rio Olympics, in which she was surprisingly beaten in the quarter-finals. In October 2016, Ms Taylor turned professional. She had been linked with a move to the professional ranks since missing out on a medal in Rio.

The US Treasury and departments of homeland security, state and defence are known to have been targeted. US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has blamed Russia for the hack. So too have the chairs of the Senate and House of Representatives' intelligence committees. However, President Trump cast doubt on Russia's role in two tweets on Saturday, hinting instead at Chinese involvement. Mr Mandia told CBS News that the cyber attack \"was very consistent\" with what US officials know about the work of Russia's foreign intelligence agency, the SVR. \"I think these are folks that we've responded to in the '90s, in the early 2000s. It's a continuing game in cyberspace,\" he said. He said the attack on the Texas-based SolarWinds Orion, the computer network tool at the source of the breach, had the \"earliest evidences of being designed\". It started with a \"dry run\" in October 2019 when \"innocuous code\" was changed. \"Then sometime in March, the operators behind this attack did put malicious code into the supply chain,\" he said, \"injected it in there and that is the backdoor that impacted everybody\". What is being said about Russia's involvement? Despite Russia's denials of the \"baseless\" claims, many in the US intelligence community suspect the Russian government is responsible. Mr Pompeo said on Friday: \"We can say pretty clearly that it was the Russians that engaged in this activity.\" He said that Russia was trying to \"undermine our way of life\", and that Russian President Vladimir Putin \"remains a real risk\". Mr Pompeo has taken a strong line against Russia before. In his time as secretary of state, the US has pulled out of a key nuclear treaty and the Open Skies Treaty on aerial surveillance flights. The Republican Chair of the Senate intelligence committee, Marco Rubio, tweeted that it is \"increasingly clear that Russian intelligence conducted the gravest cyber intrusion in our history\". He said the response \"must be proportional but significant\". Adam Schiff, Democrat chair of the House intelligence committee, echoed these views, saying on Sunday: \"I don't think there's any question that it was Russia\". And he took a swipe at President Trump for his comments on the issue saying they were \"just uniformly destructive and deceitful, and injurious ... to our national security.\" The president has long been ambivalent towards Moscow, downplaying such incidents as allegations that Russia offered the Taliban bounties to kill US troops. In his tweets on Saturday, Mr Trump again turned on what he labels the \"fake news media\" for exaggerating the matter. He wrote: \"The Cyber Hack is far greater in the Fake News Media than in actuality. \"I have been fully briefed and everything is well under control. Russia, Russia, Russia is the priority chant when anything happens because Lamestream is, for mostly financial reasons, petrified of discussing the possibility that it may be China (it may!).\" President-elect Joe Biden, who is due to be sworn in on 20 January, has vowed to make cyber-security a \"top priority\" of his administration. \"We need to disrupt and deter our adversaries from undertaking significant cyber-attacks in the first place,\" he said on Thursday. \"We will do that by, among other things, imposing substantial costs on those responsible for such malicious attacks, including in co-ordination with our allies and partners.\" What do we know about the hacking campaign? Hackers managed to gain access to major organisations by compromising network management software developed by the Texas-based IT company SolarWinds. The access could have allowed the hackers to take a high degree of control over the networks of organisations using that software, but appears to have been used to steal data rather than for any disruptive or destructive impact. It is thought they targeted a narrow number of organisations in an attempt to steal national security, defence and other related information. However, while software may have been downloaded, that does not necessarily mean data was taken. SolarWinds Orion earlier said that 18,000 of its 300,000 customers might have been affected, but there is no indication that significant theft of customer or citizen data was an aim of the cyber-attack. Researchers, who have named the hack Sunburst, say it could take years to fully comprehend it. For more than three decades, hackers linked to Moscow are believed to have tried to steal US secrets online. Several other organisations around the world, including in the UK, are understood to have been targeted by hackers using the same network management software. You might also be interested in:",

            "input": "Will GompertzArts editor@WillGompertzBBCon Twitter \"The promise\" he was referring to was the one made in the 1984 Sino-British Joint Declaration, in which China agreed that it would run, in effect, a \"one country, two systems\" policy when it regained sovereignty of Hong Kong in 1997. It would allow the region to \"enjoy a high degree of autonomy\" for the next 50 years with its current social and economic systems, free press and lifestyle. Now, Lord Patten is an intelligent man well versed in politics and would have expected some level of state intervention that blurred the lines of that promise. His democratic developments, for instance, were quickly reversed by Beijing. But he was sincere and confident when he spoke of an \"unshakable destiny\". Five years of living in Hong Kong, a place he grew to love deeply, had taught him, he said, that its people's commitment to an open society was in their \"DNA\". He was right. The locals do not like it when China's ruling Communist Party imposes its political will on what it calls Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China (HKSAR). When it proposed changes to the city's electoral system in 2014 the Hongkongers gathered en masse in public, carrying umbrellas as a symbol of peaceful protest (doubling up, on occasion, as protection from tear gas and pepper spray). Five years later in 2019 the umbrellas were out again as hundreds of thousands of residents took to the streets, many of whom were not even born when Patten made his speech in 1997. They came to protest against a proposed bill by the Hong Kong government that would enable the extradition of criminal suspects to mainland China. That was a red line for those in the community deeply suspicious of Beijing's motives and interference. They feared the new law would erode judicial independence and endanger activists and journalists. What followed was bloody and brutal with both sides upping the ante as summer protests gave way to autumn sieges. Police deployed a cocktail of teargas, water cannons, rubber bullets, and live ammunition, while some protesters threw petrol bombs, vandalised buildings and wielded batons. Positions hardened, tensions rose. You will probably remember much of this from the television pictures and newspaper reports at the time, but you are less likely to have seen a first-hand account from the frontline. That is what the dissident Chinese artist and activist Ai Weiwei gives us in his latest documentary, Cockroach - the derogatory name police gave to the protesters (who had their own insulting names for the police). As with all his work it is deeply political and, implicitly, heavily critical of the Chinese government, an administration he and his family have suffered under for decades. Its side is not presented in the 93-minute doc that places you at the sharp end of the action. It is a protesters' dispatch, giving a voice to those who fear suppression and intimidation. We see them taking on the police (some of whom, we learn, are conflicted) with a mixture of courage and audacity. Sometimes they perpetrate violence, often they are on the receiving end. Cameras are constantly rolling, lives are put on the line. It starts with a locked off shot of man standing on top of a 20-metre wall of scaffolding covering the Pacific Place mall in the Admiralty district. He has his back to us. All we can see of him is his yellow plastic raincoat. To his right is a handwritten banner that reads: \"No Extradition to China\". We hear the traffic below. The film cuts to a young man on the other side of the street. He is looking up at the isolated protester whose earlier post on social media had prompted him to come along. He says he hopes \"he will be fine.\" The introduction of an ominous, metallic soundtrack (by Punkgod) suggests he will not be fine. What happens next is not easy to watch and might be too much for some adults. It is definitely not suitable for children. Ai Weiwei is a very direct filmmaker, he is not one to sugar the pill. It is a brutal beginning to a powerful documentary in which distrust and desperation turns a moderate society into a collective of civil rights activists. There are interviews with pro-democracy politicians, campaigners (some of whom are now in jail) and lawyers, as well as first-person accounts from a section within the protest movement who believe a more aggressive form of direct action is needed to make the authorities agree to their \"five demands\" (withdrawal of the extradition bill, universal suffrage, amnesty for arrested protesters, retract classification of protesters as \"rioters\", and an independent inquiry into police brutality). It is with this more radical group of largely younger activists that we remain as they talk of starting at the back of the protests (\"like watching a movie\") to being at the business end, nose-to-nose with heavily armed police (\"like being in a movie\"). The allusion to action films and video games crops up more than once, memorably so when on a rare occasion we hear from a policeman who explains his actions as if it were an exercise at drama school, \"It's an act, a script, you play the bad guy.\" Sadly, it is all too real. The documentary goes from bloody confrontation to bloodier confrontation, drawing you further and further into the psyche of the protesters who are fuelled by a heady mix of adrenalin, fear and purpose: a leaderless band of young people willing to die for their culture and community, for the rights and way of life that was promised to their parents: a promise Chris Patten pointedly reiterated as he left 23 years ago. Cockroach is their story, told with intensity and integrity by Ai Weiwei, a fine artist who has become an exceptional filmmaker. It ends with a written update about the new National Security Law imposed on Hong Kong by Beijing in 30 June 2020, which effectively quashed the protests and caused the mass resignation of opposition politicians. It marked the loss of Hong Kong's judicial independence, the text says, and the end of \"one country, two systems\". Recent reviews by Will Gompertz: Follow Will Gompertz on Twitter",

The FCA found he had used his work email for sexually explicit messages, and to discuss illegal drugs. He left amid concerns about expenses and in 2014 admitted drug possession. Using the email provided by the Co-op for such communication was in breach of its workplace guidelines and Mr Flowers continued such usage despite having been warned not to previously. He also used his Co-op mobile phone to call premium rate chat lines. 'Trust and influence' The FCA said he had \"demonstrated a lack of fitness and propriety required to work in financial services\" and consumers would lose faith in the industry if he was allowed to continue in it. Mark Steward, executive director of enforcement and market oversight at the FCA, said: \"The role of chair occupies a unique place of trust and influence. The chair is pivotal in setting expectations of a company's culture, values and behaviours. \"Mr Flowers failed in his duty to lead by example and to meet the high standards of integrity and probity demanded by the role. These high standards are what the financial services industry and the wider community rightly expect of its senior individuals.\" The FCA said its investigation had taken so long partly because of its need to be thorough, but also because, in this case, it had to wait until other investigations into the collapse of the bank itself and the conduct of other executives were well under way. In 2016, the Bank of England's Prudential Regulation Authority banned two former Co-operative Bank executives from holding senior banking positions. It also fined them. Dramatic change The Treasury has now also announced it has launched a new independent review into the way the Co-op Bank was supervised between 2008 and 2013. It said its investigation had had to wait until the FCA's one had ended. Its independent review will look at the \"actions, policies and approach\" of the former City watchdog, the Financial Services Authority, and the current one, the Prudential Regulation Authority. In the period under review, the bank changed dramatically. It merged with the Britannia building society in 2009. That deal was later held responsible for the near collapse of the bank. In 2013, it tried and failed to buy 632 branches from Lloyds.",

            "input": "By Daniel NasawBBC News Magazine, Kansas On 2 November 1950, Father Kapaun made the decision that led to his death. The Korean war chaplain was in the middle of a firefight, with the American forces overrun by Chinese soldiers outside a crossroads town called Unsan in North Korea. Lighting forest fires to frustrate US reconnaissance planes, the Chinese surrounded the Americans and pressed in, attacking with small arms, grenades and even bayonets. Meanwhile, Chaplain Emil Kapaun, a Catholic priest from a farming village in Kansas, gathered the wounded in a dugout shelter made of logs and straw. When American officers ordered the able-bodied to retreat, Father Kapaun, a 35-year-old captain, refused to leave the wounded. As the Chinese soldiers began lobbing grenades into the dugout, Kapaun negotiated a surrender. \"Father Kapaun had several chances to get out,\" Warrant Officer John Funston later told a Catholic priest who collected accounts of Father Kapaun's actions in Korea, \"but he wouldn't take them.\" His capture and forced march northward with hundreds of other American prisoners was merely the beginning of Father Kapaun's trial, an ordeal that ended in his death from starvation, cold and lack of basic medical care at a prison camp in North Korea six months later. For his heroism, a group of Kansas politicians is pushing to have him awarded the Medal of Honor, America's highest military decoration. Reports of Kapaun's selfless bravery have got him shortlisted for another rare high honour: the Catholic Church has named Kapaun Servant of God, the first step toward sainthood, and the Vatican has opened a formal inquiry into whether he merits canonisation. If President Obama awards him the Medal of Honor, he will be just the fifth Catholic priest to receive the award - out of 3,458 American soldiers, sailors, marines and airmen who have won it. If he is named a saint, Kapaun will be the first member of the US military so honoured. \"He gave his life for those people that he was serving,\" says Father John Hotze, an investigator for the diocese advocating for Kapaun's canonisation. \"At the time of his death, he was giving his life for his fellow prisoners... and he was that example of Christ present in the world today.\" A small-town boy When Kapaun sailed to Korea from an occupation base in Japan, he was a physically fit, hardy priest whose rugged good looks recall a young Kirk Douglas. Those who knew him remembered him as a man's man who loved the rough army life, enjoyed bowling and talking sport with the lads, and who cared deeply for the young men under his care, be they Catholic, Protestant or Jewish. \"He was a strong, holy man and he was very determined to do what the bishop wanted him - help the boys,\" says his sister-in-law Helen Kapaun, 83. \"It's really hard to think of him as so brave and having so much courage and strength. Not because of what I had seen in him, only because I never realised he could be that strong and holy.\" Kapaun was born in 1916 to a poor family in Pilsen, a tiny farming community in central Kansas. Like other boys, he helped out on the farm, milking cows and tending livestock and weeding the garden. The resourcefulness, capacity for hard work and physical toughness needed to eke out a living on the prairie in the 1920s helped prepare him for the army - and the prison camp. Life in Pilsen centred on a small Catholic church where congregants confessed both in Czech and English, and from an early age, Kapaun earned a reputation as devout beyond his years. He left home at 14 for a Catholic boarding school run by Benedictine monks. In 1940, at age 24, Kapaun was ordained as a priest. He soon returned to give his first Mass at the church he was raised in. Pilsen celebrated him with a procession through the town. As America entered into World War II, other young men in town were leaving for the military. Kapaun wanted to join up as a chaplain, but his bishop refused. Instead, he settled into a familiar, if awkward, life as a young priest in the parish in which he was raised. \"There are people here, relatives and friends, who are superior to me (in age, in school, etc.),\" he wrote to his bishop, perhaps hinting delicately he thought he could better serve the church elsewhere. \"Some find it difficult to look up to me as their spiritual superior.\" Eventually the bishop relented, and in August 1944, Kapaun left for army chaplaincy training. 'A young calf' In his correspondence with friends, family and churchmen back home, Kapaun gushed with enthusiasm for his new role. \"Army life does a person a lot of good,\" he wrote to his parents. He particularly enjoyed the long marches. \"In the evening I feel as fresh as a young calf.\" After service in Burma and India, far from combat, Kapaun mustered out of the army in 1946. Life back in the States seemed to bore Kapaun. He completed a graduate degree in education in Washington DC, then returned to Kansas to take a position in Timken, a small town in need of a priest who could speak Czech. In summer 1948, Kapaun told the army he would return to the chaplaincy if given permission. On an army questionnaire, he specifically requested extended duty overseas, according to his biographer William Maher. So Kapaun again donned the uniform of a US Army officer, this time as a captain. In January 1950, he was crossing the Pacific for Japan, assigned to the 8th Cavalry Regiment of the 1st Cavalry Division. Those men were among the first US troops to join the fight in Korea, crossing the Sea of Japan and landing at Pohangdong, South Korea, in July 1950. \"Tomorrow we are going into combat,\" he wrote to Bishop Mark Carroll of Wichita. \"I have everything in order, all Mass stipends, my will, etc.\" Foxhole hopping Within days Kapaun and his comrades were on the front lines, engaged in heavy fighting against the North Korean forces. As a chaplain, Kapaun never appears to have fired on enemy forces personally, though he admitted to carrying a weapon at times. But he refused to stay behind, putting himself in as much danger as any of the grunts in his unit and exhibiting awe-inspiring bravery, his comrades have recounted to army and church investigators. With the troops dug into fighting positions, Kapaun would dash back and forth along the line, jumping from one foxhole to another to check on the men, pray with them and tend to the wounded. \"He came to me when I was in charge of setting up headquarters and asked if he could say Mass for the men in that area,\" Captain Joseph O'Connor recalled in 1954. \"I said, 'Father, things are pretty hot here at present and I don't think you should be up here.' Father said, 'Then I think we need a Mass, Captain'.\" He also administered last rites to countless dying soldiers, helped bury American and enemy dead, and wrote personal letters to the families of fallen soldiers. \"I have been on the front lines for eight days. We were machine-gunned, hit by mortars and tanks,\" he wrote to friends in Timken, Kansas. \"Three times we escaped with our lives... God has been good to me. Others have not been so fortunate. There are many horrors in war. A fellow can only stand so much.\" During a battle on 2 August 1950, Kapaun and another officer ran across the no man's land between the lines, dodging intense machine-gun and small-arms fire, to rescue a wounded soldier. For his efforts, Kapaun was awarded the Bronze Star, one of the highest combat decorations in the US military. 'Turned into animals' Kapaun had several close calls. During one battle, his tobacco pipe was shot from his mouth. In another, a 88mm tank shell whizzed by his head, knocking his helmet off. On the night of his capture at Unsan, Kapaun and about 15 to 25 wounded who could still walk left the dugout at gunpoint and joined hundreds of American prisoners on a long, desperate forced march northward, deeper into North Korea. Many of the men were too hurt to walk, and the Chinese soldiers abandoned anyone who fell behind to freeze to death. Survivors said that Kapaun, even as he was suffering frostbite on his feet, helped carry wounded men in litters hundreds of miles, shaming recalcitrant comrades into helping. Eventually, Kapaun and his fellow captives were imprisoned in a camp near Pyoktong, just south of the Yalu River. Dozens had fallen behind and died along the way. There, the Chinese and Korean captors held them in freezing and near-starving conditions. Kapaun sneaked around the camp stealing food - grain, potatoes, salt, peppers and garlic - from the Chinese stores, and fed his comrades from his own meagre rations. He tended the sick and wounded, bathing them and washing their clothes, day after day as conditions only worsened and more and more men perished. He served as a moral exemplar, survivors said, persuading the sickest and most miserable not to give up. \"By February and March, the majority of us had turned into animals, were fighting for food, irritable, selfish, miserly,\" recalled Captain Robert Burke in a 1954 letter to Father Arthur Tonne, a Kansas priest who compiled anecdotes about Kapaun. \"The good priest continued to keep a cool head, conduct himself as a human being, and maintain all his virtues and ideal characteristics. \"When the chips were down, Father proved himself to be the greatest example of manhood I've ever seen in my life.\" Through it all, the chaplain stubbornly refused to renounce his faith. He defied and confronted the guards during forced indoctrination sessions. At risk to his own safety and life, he would sneak about the camp to comfort and encourage the young enlisted men and hold secret prayer services. One survivor told Maher how Kapaun would carry a bucket on his furtive jaunts about the camp, to make it look as though he were on a chore if confronted. \"By his very presence, he could turn a stinking mud hut into a cathedral,\" the survivor, Lt Raymond Dowe, recounted to Maher. With little food, poor sanitation and almost no medical care, Kapaun's health deteriorated. By early spring he was limping from a blood clot in his leg and wore a patch over an infected eye. He contracted dysentery and pneumonia. After months in near-freezing and starving conditions, Kapaun died in late May 1951. \"In his last hour he heard my confession,\" a comrade named Felix McCool recalled in a letter to Father Tonne. \"Father Kapaun said: 'As you see, I am crying too, not tears of pain but tears of joy, because I'll be with my God in a short time.'\" Road to sainthood Father Kapaun was posthumously awarded the Distinguished Service Cross, the US Army's second-highest combat decoration, for his actions at Unsan. Under US law, the Medal of Honor must be recommended to the US president within two years of the deed and awarded within three years of the date of the deed. The campaign to recognise Kapaun comes as the White House said on Monday that President Obama would award a posthumous Medal of Honor to another US serviceman, Leslie Sabo, for his heroics during the Vietnam War in 1970. Sabo, 22, was recommended posthumously for the nation's highest award, but the citation ended up lost in military bureaucracy and was forgotten until 1999. Stories of Kapaun's heroics at the battle of Unsan began to trickle out right away, but his deeds at the prison camp remained mostly untold until 1953, when the North Koreans released the surviving Americans from Pyoktong. In recent years, members of Kansas's congressional delegation began lobbying their colleagues to waive the Medal of Honor time limit for Kapaun. The exemption was signed into law in December, and in January, the six congressmen and senators asked Secretary of Defence Leon Panetta to recommend that President Barack Obama award the medal - the penultimate step in a long bureaucratic process. \"He was an amazing man in multiple dimensions - in his life as a chaplain... and its intersection with his duty as a military leader,\" says Kansas Congressman Mike Pompeo. \"The two come together in these incredible stories of heroism at this difficult moment in our nation's history. He did this in a way that is so unique: not seeking glory or for himself, but always in service.\" It is unclear when or whether Mr Panetta and Mr Obama will award the medal, but Mr Pompeo says he is confident. Meanwhile, the effort of Father Hotze and the diocese of Wichita to win canonisation for Kapaun, which Father Hotze launched in 2001, has moved to Rome. There, the Vatican's Congregation for Saints will carry out its own investigation. Father Hotze speculates Kapaun was just a selfless individual whose natural inclination was to give what he had to others, including his energy and effort. On the farm in Kansas, that meant taking on whatever job was dustiest and hottest. As a young priest, it meant manual labour at the churchyard not typically performed by clergymen. But on the front lines and in the prison camp, that quality was magnified to heroic proportions because of the horrific situation in which it was expressed, Father Hotze says. \"He knew he was going to die, he had the courage and strength to realise a better way to face death is to realise you have helped these other people,\" he says. \"Even the heroic actions that he took they are not beyond the ability of any one of us. Each and every one of us can offer clothes, food, comfort, encouragement. \"He shows us that we too can be great, we too can be saintly people, based on our day-to-day actions.\"",

The reason it sold to CVC was because it considered it was a very good offer.\" He said it came amid uncertainty in the sport at the time with car manufacturers threatening to set up a breakaway competition. Gribkowsky is serving eight-and-a-half years in prison for corruption in Germany. 'Strongest position' Mr Ecclestone accepts he made the payments to Gribkowsky but says the banker blackmailed him by threatening to make claims about his tax affairs to the British authorities.

But officials warned that strict hygiene measures could limit the number of available appointments. Dentists may have to prioritise patients who require emergency care. Dentistry has faced particular challenges because many procedures generate a fine spray of air and water, or aerosol, which can spread the virus. Practices are required to rigorously clean surfaces between patients and ensure adequate ventilation while staff must wear tight-fitting masks as well as other protective equipment. Some dentists have raised concerns that NHS dentistry will not be viable because it relies on a \"conveyor belt\" model of seeing large numbers of patients for relatively brief appointments. In one health board, officials have warned the public that should continue to expect constraints on treatment. NHS Tayside director of dentistry Morag Curnow said: \"It is very important for patients to be aware that the services will not yet return to 'business as usual' due to the continuing Covid-19 safety measures that need to be taken in practices. \"The number of available appointments will be reduced and it will be necessary for dental practices to prioritise appointments for patients who require urgent dental care, those at greatest risk of oral disease and those patients who could not be seen during the lockdown period. \"Practices will also look very different due to the public health measures that will be put in place to keep staff and patients safe.

It is far from the first time that he has referred to impending deadlines - one of his favourite phrases seems to be \"the clock is ticking\" - but whether you are the greatest enthusiast out there for Brexit, or worried about impending potential consequences, this time the Barnier warning does relate to a very specific timeline - which does make this an important week. Tomorrow the prime minister's top EU official, Olly Robbins, will travel to Brussels, the first visit of two this week, to discuss how to crack on with the talks with his opposite numbers. It seems he'll try to give the other side a picture of where the UK is heading before the crucial cabinet committee meetings on Wednesday and Thursday. Those meetings aren't designed to be the final decision-making hours on the final shape of our future relationship with the EU. But the point is to try to get the cabinet to agree an overall pitch. As negotiators get into the second phase, what is the UK's overall broad approach - is it to start with a model like the Canadian free trade deal, and add on elements as they see fit? Or is it to start with the presumption of a much closer relationship and chuck out bits one by one that the government doesn't like? You would be right in thinking that this debate has been going on for a LONG time. It's been raging since the referendum, and it is the fundamental dividing line in the Tory party right now, after decades of divisions and grudges over our relationship with the Europeans. Think it's extraordinary that the cabinet hasn't really come down on this one way or the other after all this time? The prime minister's desire to have a \"bespoke\" arrangement has been her holding position. And frankly, waiting until the last minute to come down in favour of one thing or another has been part of her survival technique. If she had forced it much earlier, she could have risked cabinet strops (yes even more) or even walkouts. But there is hope that on Wednesday and Thursday the cabinet can be coaxed to come to some kind of consensus about whether, broadly, they are going into the next phase of the talks coming from the standpoint of ministers like the chancellor, who favour binding ties for good, or Boris Johnson, who is arguing for a freer approach. Then on Friday, Olly Robbins will be back on the Eurostar to sit down with the EU's negotiators again, in theory, with a plan based on the cabinet's discussions. If he can, then the second phase of the talks can truly start in earnest, and Mr Barnier's warning will perhaps have finally been heeded. I'm told that this Friday will be the first time the EU has been given an official update on the government's position since the fraught days of the end of phase one in December. Given though that the EU negotiator has given such warnings before, does it really matter if the timetable goes awry? The prime minister has tried to shrug off the sense that this is somehow decision time. Technically however there is a time pressure. In March the European Council is publishing guidelines about the framework for the future relationship. In other words, there is meant to be an agreed broad approach to the negotiations in less than eight weeks. Call for clarity If the UK hasn't given much information about what it wants to achieve, how, the thinking goes, can the process be designed? Again, it is fair to say on the government side, that's miles away from the final details of the deal. But away from the demands at Westminster or Brussels, businesses around the country are keen to have clarity. And on both sides of the talks, privately officials say that if the UK doesn't come forward this time, the reality could be that the EU ends up starting to put the agreement together. Essentially, because of the time constraints, if the UK isn't willing to start sketching out the agreements, the EU will pick up the pen. One senior EU source said \"the more clarity the UK can provide on how it sees its future relationship, the more productive the EU Council can be in pushing these negotiations forward\". In other words, if you don't make your minds up, well, March could still be vague, leaving only seven months until October when the heads of terms of the deal are meant to be done. A vague deal leaves uncertainty open for another long few months, and pushes into another financial year. One Tory peer, Lord Bridges, who was recently a member of the Brexit department itself, warned that if ministers didn't make up their mind about what it wanted soon it was headed for a deal that was \"meaningless waffle\", leaving the UK at a disadvantage - the EU with the whip hand in the talks. There are good political reasons why it has taken this long. The prime minister has given carefully-choreographed big speeches that have set out her overarching principles at Lancaster House and in Florence. Both required huge political efforts to get them through her party. But the self-set deadline of the Article 50 talks and the discipline of the Brexit process means there is not much room for further delay.",

Mr Ambani, said to be India's richest man, moved into the house last month with his wife and three children. Reports suggest the residence is worth more than $1bn (£630m). The skyscraper in Mumbai (Bombay), which overlooks sprawling slums, is said to have a cinema, swimming pools and a helicopter pad, and is named \"Antilia\" after a mythical Atlantic island. Local newspapers said the house would require 600 members of staff to maintain it, and according to the Times of India, the first electricity bill, for September, is costing Mr Ambani 7m rupees (£98,000). The house has sparked some controversy, with anti-poverty campaigners underlining the contrast between the luxury of the house and the plight of those who live in Mumbai's slums, which house about half of the city's 18 million people. 'Versailles rival' Guests at the house-warming included Indian novelist Shobhaa De, Bollywood stars Preity Zinta and Aamir Khan, and billionaire Kumar Mangalam Birla. Ms De said the 174m (570ft) building was the \"Taj Mahal of the 21st Century\". She described \"what has got to be the biggest, glitziest ballroom in India - the Palace of Versailles is a poor cousin\". \"There is a lot of marble, there is a lot of mother of pearl. There are areas and gardens and lotus pools and an absolutely beautiful Krishna temple. There is art, there's sculpture, there is a huge bar, there is a swimming pool,\" she said. \"The Taj Mahal was considered one of the wonders of the world, this is...I'm sure it's going to be one of the wonders of modern India,\" she told the BBC. She said the house was built to the personal taste of Mr Ambani, and that people should not \"grudge him his indulgencies\". \"He generates a great amount of employment for those very poor and contributes to the economy,\" she added. The house, which has a temple on the ground floor and a library on the top, was designed according to Vaastu principles, an Indian tradition similar to Chinese feng shui. According to Forbes magazine, Mr Ambani, 53, has amassed a $27bn (£17bn) fortune. He is chairman and managing director of Reliance Industries, one of the largest conglomerates in the world, and also owns the Indian Premier League team, the Mumbai Indians. Mr Ambani's brother, Anil, held a \"parallel party\" at the 14-storey residence which houses the rest of the family. Relations between the brothers became strained during a dispute over the division of the conglomerate left by their father, Dhirubhai, who died in 2002 without a will.",

In the city centre the BBC's Big Screen showed repeated footage of the election counting hall celebrations. Many people walked past, glancing upwards at the pictures. Those celebrations may well have come as a shock to many. Labour had, after all, held the Bradford West seat for 38 years - except for a short time in the 1980s when the sitting MP defected to the SDP. 'Arguments and division' That is perhaps why Mr Galloway's by-election victory has raised more than a few eyebrows among the city's voters. Bradford resident Allie Ramsey said she was surprised at the size of the new MP's majority of 10,140. \"I don't think he's got any interest at all [in Bradford],\" she said. \"He's got a high majority because of the Asian vote. If it hadn't been for his views on the wars then he wouldn't have got anyone's interest. \"I just hope it doesn't lead to more arguments and division.\" With controversy over the recent reality TV show Make Bradford British - which put people from different ethnicities together to see if they could find common ground on what makes them British - those arguments and divisions are perhaps still particularly fresh in the mind of the city's voters. And it is Mr Galloway's role in another reality TV show which is a cause for concern for some local residents. One voter said Mr Galloway was \"a very big character\" and that she only knew him from his appearance on Celebrity Big Brother, where he memorably dressed up in a leotard and pretended to be a cat. Another voter said she was \"worried\" that Mr Galloway's starring role on that show was the reason for such a big show of support for him in Bradford West. 'Put Bradford first' However, more serious issues were on the minds of other people in Bradford with the news of Mr Galloway's by-election victory. Taxi driver Mehrban Khan said he hoped the city's newest MP would act in the interests of Bradford. He said: \"People are sick of Labour, the Conservatives and the Lib Dems. \"They've obviously decided to vote for a new party - someone who will put Bradford first - somebody who will get the Westfield development moving. \"We used to be a city but we've been reduced to a village. \"His views on Iraq and Afghanistan were right. Labour should have known about them, the situation in Afghanistan is getting worse.\" Mr Galloway's views on Afghanistan became, in fact, one of the main talking points of the recent election campaign after he claimed British soldiers killed there had \"died in vain\". His comments came just weeks after five members of 3 Battalion, The Yorkshire Regiment, died alongside a sixth soldier in an explosion in Helmand. 'Crystal ball' But in the light of Mr Galloway's by-election victory, voters in Bradford said it was time for the city's newest MP to move his focus from Afghanistan to issues much closer to home. Qaisor Sheikh also urged the new MP to \"do something positive\" for Bradford. \"He's quite well known for his opinions, but my concern is Bradford city centre,\" he said. \"My main concern is that he's not going to get lost in all this and forget about Bradford. \"Yes, his party's policies are important, but he must concentrate on Bradford's needs.\" Fellow resident Asif Hussain said he \"didn't have a crystal ball\" but said hoped Mr Galloway would do his best for the city. He said: \"Galloway says what he means and he's not afraid of powerful people. \"I don't think he'll be a bad MP for the city, I wish him all the best for the future.\"",

There are believed to be about 600 fixed odds betting terminals or FOBTs in Northern Ireland. The machines were formally legalised in the rest of the UK in 2005. However gambling law is a devolved issue and the 2005 law does not apply in Northern Ireland, where the last gambling law was passed in 1985. That law says gaming machines should only have a maximum stake of 30p. However, a FOBT has a maximum stake of £100. Problem gamblers The law also says the maximum winnings for a gaming machine can be no higher than £8 while the maximum winnings in a FOBT are £500. Campaigners say the machines, where stakes of £100 can be placed every 20 seconds, are dangerous for problem gamblers. The six biggest bookmakers in Northern Ireland - Ladbrokes, William Hill, Paddy Power, Sean Graham, McLean's and Toal's - all have FOBTs in their shops. The betting industry says the majority of people use them responsibly. Bookmakers are understood to dispute whether FOBTs should be classified as gaming machines. If the case against the bookmaker proceeds to trial, it will be seen as a test case for the legality of the machines in Northern Ireland.

Those in charge of the digital campaigns for Donald Trump's Republican Party and the political consultant behind Leave EU's referendum strategy are clear the social network was decisive in both wins. Political strategist Gerry Gunster, from Leave EU, told BBC Panorama that Facebook was a game changer for convincing voters to back Brexit. \"You can say to Facebook, 'I would like to make sure that I can micro-target that fisherman, in certain parts of the UK, so that they are specifically hearing that if you vote to leave you will be able to change the way that the regulations are set for the fishing industry'. \"Now I can do the exact same thing for people who live in the Midlands who are struggling because the factory has shut down. So I may send a specific message through Facebook to them that nobody else sees.\" Gary Coby, the director of advertising for the Republican Party, says Facebook was also the key to Trump's victory. He said the party used data about potential voters to reach them on social media, adding: \"So if you are on Facebook, I can then match you and put you into a bucket of users that I can then target.\" Mr Coby confirmed the official Trump campaign alone had spent in the region of $70m on Facebook over the election period. \"The way we bought media on Facebook was like no one else in politics has ever done.\" 'Demand driven' Panorama has also been told Facebook had teams of people working directly with both the Democratic and Republican campaigns. Simon Milner, Facebook's head of policy UK, confirmed that people from Facebook worked with the two campaigns, but declined to say how many. \"One of the things we are absolutely there to do is to help people make use of Facebook products. We do have people whose role is to help politicians and governments make good use of Facebook. \"I can't give you the number of exactly how many people worked with these campaigns. But I can tell you that it was completely demand driven, so it was really up to the campaigns.\" The social network says it complies with all regulations but the platform, which is also expected to play a key role in the British general election on 8 June, has been criticised for being unaccountable when it comes to politics. A quarter of the world's population now use Facebook, including 32 million people in the UK. Many use Facebook to stay in touch with family and friends and are unaware that it has become an important political player. For example, the videos that appear in people's news feeds can be promoted by political parties and campaigners. The far-right group, Britain First, has told Panorama how it paid Facebook to repeatedly promote its videos. It now has more than 1.6 million Facebook followers. Damian Collins, chairman of the Culture, Media and Sport Committee in the outgoing parliament, says Facebook needs to be more accountable. \"Historically, there have been quite strict rules about the way information is presented and broadcasters work to a very strict code in terms of partiality and there are restrictions on use of advertising. \"But with something like Facebook you have a media which is increasingly seen as the most valuable media in an election period but which is totally unregulated.\" Facebook says it is committed to assisting civic engagement and electoral participation, and that it helped two million people register to vote in the US presidential elections.",

            "input": "By Kevin PeacheyPersonal Finance reporter John Ashton, professor of banking at Bangor University, studied 17 years of bank account data to examine the costs faced by customers. He told the BBC that it was well documented that overdrafts were an expensive form of borrowing. What was overlooked was the \"cost\" of keeping large deposits in an account. By doing so, customers were missing out on much higher levels of interest that would be paid in a better home for their savings. \"It is a surprise how large these amounts can be [in current accounts] - many thousands of pounds,\" he said. Stick or switch? It might be possible to manage a current account to make the most of the system but, for many, the best way to get value for money is by switching to another current account altogether. Bank customers could save £70 a year on average by switching their account to another provider, an investigation by the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) concluded. Why? The CMA explains: \"We looked at the average charges for a customer who was £500 in credit and had a number of foreign exchange transactions in a year, and tried to work it out, if they switched to a different type of account, and we found that, if they switched to a reward account under which they received cashback rewards and interest on their credit balances, they would make the £70 saving.\" For those who go into the red, the savings made by switching would be even greater, the CMA suggested. The average overdraft user could save £140 a year. Heavy overdraft users could save £260. Switching is relatively simple. It is a seven-day process and all existing regular payments, incoming and outgoing, are automatically diverted to the new account. Customers, for the most part, remain unmoved despite the simplicity of the system. Last year, 1.03 million current accounts were switched last year, compared with 1.15 million the previous year. That is a fraction of the 68 million active current accounts in the UK. Red warnings Commentators suggest, despite a big advertising campaign, customers do not swap owing to a lack of trust in banks to ensure direct debits are automatically switched to the new account. They also say that the complexity of these accounts and the lack of a clear \"price\" make it enormously difficult to decide between the options. There are 269 different current account options to choose from for UK consumers, according to financial information service Moneyfacts. One of the High Street giants - Barclays - has 69 different options on its own, although they are not all available to everyone. Customers who do attempt to find a better deal are met by a blizzard of numbers when comparing the charges levied by each account. For overdrafts, there may be authorised overdraft fees, overdraft arrangement fees, overdraft review fees, as well as the same again for going into the red without prior authorisation from the bank. To add an extra layer of complexity, the cost of an overdraft is not always clear from the interest charged. For example, two banks charge 15.9% interest on overdrafts but borrowing £500 for two weeks costs £17 with one bank, but £27 with another. Why? One of the banks does not charge for the first £250 that is borrowed. Frustrated customers, by sticking with the account they had got and paying the fees regardless, ultimately faced extra expense, the competition authority suggested. \"Banks have an incentive to set high overdraft charges, due to the lack of customer engagement,\" the CMA concluded. There is also a range of costs for more specialist services. Different fees are charged, for example, for banker's drafts, same-day transfers of large amounts of money, and transactions in foreign currencies. Growth of rewards That is the complexity of costs, so what about judging the benefits offered with accounts? Since Prof Ashton's work was published in 2013, banks have become more likely to offer a cash incentive to customers to switch to one of their accounts, and rewards for regular use of the account. Packaged accounts, which have been around for some time, charge a fee but include add-ons such as insurance products. Reward accounts may also charge a fee but may also offer cash upfront, as well as cashback or savings if the account is used in certain transactions - such as paying household bills or shopping at certain stores. The sting may be charges elsewhere, such as going overdrawn. \"Customers should choose a current account based on its overall package to ensure it covers all their financial requirements. This is particularly important if they want a reasonable overdraft to cover any unexpected outgoings, otherwise they could end up being stung with excessive fees,\" said Rachel Springall, of Moneyfacts. Sir Donald Cruickshank conducted a well-received review into the UK banking industry for the government nearly 16 years ago in which he highlighted the stranglehold of the biggest banks on the market. He is more upbeat about the market now, and said bank accounts with a subscription fee were a sign of progress. Monthly fees for current accounts, which changed over time, were good for the market, even if they were not always good for the consumer, he said. \"There are more banks [than in 2000], it is easier to get banking licences, and it is easier to compete,\" he told BBC News. \"The average customer of the big banks does not particularly want to switch. They want to know that they are getting as good a deal as they could get elsewhere. \"There has been a response from the established players [because] they know that the new ones can take their business away.\" Also on the BBC: Unpicking the current account banking \"con-trick\" How to leave your bank ... in 60 seconds The bank switching plan explained Banking apps: What are they and how do they work? Computer says 'this one' Consumers are still faced with such complexity when choosing an account, but one source of relief for consumers, according to the CMA, is a new system that automates the choice using information on bank statements about previous spending. The idea of the government-backed \"Midata\" project is that customers download data of previous transactions into a price comparison website and it crunches the numbers to suggest where they might get a better deal. But the CMA says the scheme still has lots of shortcomings, not least that it does not work if customers are using one of the most popular smartphones in the UK - the iPhone. Two other major difficulties are still to be resolved with this project. Firstly, consumer research suggests the majority of people would be unlikely to use the service owing to fears about giving their personal data to a price comparison website. The second, as MPs pointed out, was that an estimated 11 million people are not \"functionally literate\" on the internet. Andrew Tyrie, chairman of the Treasury Committee, told the BBC News website that the CMA seemed to be \"passing the buck\". \"The CMA seemed to be saying that consumers need to take more responsibility. But most do not have the tools to do it. Many lack the computer skills. In any case, many are also wary of sharing their data,\" he told BBC News. The issue is on the list of possible \"remedies\" produced by the CMA. Its final view on those is expected to be published in the coming weeks. Tomorrow: The only truly free current account",

It recommended that a lobbying code of practice needed to be drawn up. In contrast, the UK government says it will introduce a statutory register of lobbyists in Parliament. \"The recommendations guard against complacency and ensure that the National Assembly has rigorous procedures in place to cope with any further devolution of powers,\" argued Mick Antoniw AM, who chairs the conduct committee in the assembly. \"We also recommend that a watching brief is maintained on the issue of lobbying and that further strengthening of measures is not ruled out in the future.\" Since the assembly was established, there has not been a single complaint about lobbying. In its report, published on Thursday, the committee said it was calling for \"greater transparency and a tightening of rules\" around the issues of lobbying. But it also said that it agreed with the conclusions of the assembly's independent standards commissioner, Gerard Elias QC, who has said that current arrangements in place for dealing with lobbyists were \"robust for purpose\". The conduct committee has also examined how cross-party groups work and made several recommendations. Cross-party groups in the assembly include AMs from at least three parties, and can include other members from outside the assembly, related to its activities. There are currently 52 such groups registered in the assembly, with subject areas ranging from science and technology to dementia, biodiversity and 'beer and the pub'. The assembly's conduct committee said there needed to be increased accountability and transparency over these groups. 'No legislation' call It has recommended asking the groups to publish minutes of all meetings, annual reports and financial statements setting out expenses, benefits and any hospitality groups receive. The presiding officer for the assembly, Rosemary Butler, has welcomed the findings. She said the committee had recognised that \"robust and transparent systems are already in place to govern assembly members' relationship with external organisations\". \"Although the committee stops short of a register of lobbyists, I believe its recommendations underpin those robust structures and are proportionate,\" she added. The presiding officer said she had also written to the Welsh secretary on the issue, specifically asking for Wales to be excluded from any legislation that may be put in place for the UK Parliament. \"My view has always been that it should be for the assembly to decide on these matters, and that we were not facing the same kind of negative issues surrounding access to elected members that Westminster was, and is, facing,\" she said. The body representing public affairs professionals and lobbyists in Wales, Public Affairs Cymru, said it also supported the findings of the assembly committee. \"Its recommendations will only further underpin the ethos of transparency and openness in lobbying and campaigning activity in Cardiff Bay,\" said its chair, Lia Murphy. \"As the report says, there has never been an issue of impropriety here but it is important to both those who lobby and those who are lobbied that high standards are maintained.\"",

Lord Adonis told a House of Lords debate there was a danger of ministers scrapping or delaying the section. The government said plans for the high-speed line to Sheffield and Leeds would be set out in an integrated rail plan. Labour's Lord Adonis warned a failure to complete the Yorkshire leg of HS2 would be the equivalent of the Victorians building a railway to Manchester but leaving the canals to serve Sheffield and Leeds. \"If it's a project just for one half of the country then it will by definition leave the other half behind,\" he told the Lords. Labour former Cabinet minister Lord Blunkett, who represented a Sheffield seat in the Commons, said some of the new MPs in the North East and East Midlands \"seem to live in a parallel universe\". He said: \"Unless you get it on paper, unless it's absolutely unequivocal, it's not going to happen, and the East Midlands, Yorkshire and the North East will lose out all over again.\" During the debate on Monday, an amendment aimed at committing ministers to legislate for the eastern leg of HS2 from the West Midlands was narrowly rejected by 274 votes to 265. It followed assurances by transport minister Baroness Vere of Norbiton, who told the debate: \"The prime minister has been very clear that the government's plans for the HS2 eastern leg will be set out in the integrated rail plan and that this will be laid before Parliament in the same time frame of the amendment.\" Lord Adonis added: \"It is fundamental to the future of this country that we build both HS2 east and west - if we're going to be one nation in the future we need a one-nation transport and infrastructure system.\" Aiming to link London, Birmingham, Manchester and Leeds, it is hoped the 20-year project will reduce overcrowding and help rebalance the UK's economy through investment in transport outside London. But an official government report, published in February, warned that it could cost more than £100bn and be up to five years behind schedule. Follow BBC Yorkshire on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

But the head of the Climate Change Committee, says it could be cheaper, better for the economy, and climate-friendly to expand fibre optics. That's because the government’s plans for road-building assume 1% growth a year in demand for travel. But Chris Stark says Covid-19 has taught many people they can work from home thanks to the miracle of video conferencing. The head of the AA recently told BBC News he thought people would never fully return to their previous travel habits, and forecast that transport demand would shrink, not grow. Mr Stark agrees. He believes productivity and the economy would benefit if the roads fund was re-directed from tarmac to fibre optics. Virus will transform UK work and travel, says AA 'New normal' He told BBC News: “The government mustn’t be investing in anything likely to increase carbon emissions. I expect that video conferencing will become the new normal, and we won’t return to travelling the way we did. “I would spend the roads budget on fibre. You would get a huge return to the economy with people having better connections. “You would save people’s time and increase their productivity.” Mr Stark said his committee had taken advice from a psychologist over the public’s readiness to accept major changes in their lives. The message was that the longer the change lasts, the more it becomes the new normal. “At first, people are resistant to the changes,” he said. “But then they get used to the new situation, they see the benefits, and they can be reluctant to change back again because they see the drawbacks of the way things were. “A lot of people will say ‘I don’t want to do that much travelling in the future’.” He said the longer the duration of the change, the more “sticky” the change would become. 'Shovel-ready' He said other elements of government infrastructure spending would help the UK out of the Covid-19 crisis. They included “shovel-ready” projects such as electric vehicle charging infrastructure, and energy projects including onshore wind. The big challenge, he said, was to insulate the UK’s draughty homes – a pledge that was made in the Conservative manifesto, but wasn’t mentioned in the latest infrastructure announcement. He said the labour-intensive process of renovating homes would also provide an essential source of jobs as the UK shifts towards a zero-carbon economy. “The transition is going to be very challenging for the oil and gas industries – and we need to make sure people are protected, otherwise support for climate change policies will evaporate.” But Mr Stark warned the government to avoid the temptation to offer unconditional bailouts to fossil fuel firms struggling with the recession and the low oil price. “If we were in the world of bailouts, then one thing to consider now is what strings might be attached to bailout packages. For dirty industry there might be (environmental) strings. That could be a key condition for the aviation sector, for instance,” the CCC chief said. He said the low oil price could allow the government the political space to put up fuel taxes. He said he hoped that the Covid-19 crisis had taught governments and industries of the need to put an appropriate price on future risks when they were doing financial planning. “The transition over Covid-19 has been disorderly,” Mr Stark said. “The climate change transition needs to be smooth.” A Treasury spokesperson said: \"Roads are crucial for connecting people, places and businesses, with freight logistics businesses depending on the road network working effectively to get goods in the right places. \"But we recognise that broadband is also crucial, and that is why at Budget we set out a record commitment of £5bn to support the rollout of gigabit-capable broadband. Obviously we are focused on limiting the short-term health and economic effects of coronavirus, but we are still committed to delivering on our climate change targets.\" Follow Roger on Twitter.",

Leeds Crown Court heard height and weight measurements taken during his post-mortem examination revealed a BMI of 13.6, which is of \"severe thinness\". His mother, grandmother and sister deny manslaughter. Read more stories in Leeds and West Yorkshire The court heard evidence from Jacqueline Lowdon, an NHS dietitian of 26 years with experience of treating severe eating disorders. As Mr Burling had not had any health assessments in recent years, she had to work with figures from the post-mortem examination along with anecdotal evidence from his family, the court heard. Mr Burling's mother Dawn Cranston, 45, grandmother Denise Cranston, 70, and his sister Abigail Burling, 25, all deny killing him. They also deny an alternative count of causing or allowing the death of a vulnerable adult. No symptoms connected to eating conditions such as anorexia or bulimia were recorded in Jordan's case and gastro-intestinal diseases including coeliac and Crohn's were also ruled out. She estimated he had experienced \"at least six months of malnutrition\" and was satisfied there was \"nothing medically\" that could have caused his condition. When asked by Nicholas Lumley QC, prosecuting, what treatment Mr Burling would have required, she told the jury he would have had to take on nutritional fluids very slowly to avoid the potentially fatal effects of \"re-feeding syndrome\" where a starved patient is given too much nutrition too quickly. Dr Lowdon said an adult male patient of Mr Burling's BMI would have required an initial 185 calories a day, with a healthy adult male requiring up to 3,000. When asked if she had ever studied a patient with such a degree of malnutrition, she replied: \"No I haven't.. I've never seen anyone with such a low BMI as this.\" Mr Lumley told Dr Lowdon a relative of Mr Burling had commented Jordan looked like a \"World War Two concentration camp\" victim and asked her if this was fair. She replied: \"Yes it is, that's where re-feeding came from. \"Prisoners from camps were fed and started to die, that's where we found out about re-feeding syndrome.\" On Wednesday, the court heard the cause of his death was \"acute bronchopneumonia\", which is likely to have been caused by his malnutrition, his immobility and his infected sores.

            "input": "By John SudworthBBC News, Hunan We'd arranged to meet a woman in her village in China's central Hunan Province and to then travel with her by train to Beijing, filming as we went. But we never did get to meet our interviewee. The story we ended up with, however, reveals more about the exercise of power in China than any interview ever could. It is one that involves violence, intimidation and a forced confession - my first in my long reporting experience in China - in which I found myself apologising for \"behaviour causing a bad impact\" and for trying to conduct an \"illegal interview\". Yang Linghua was planning to take the train to Beijing because she is what's known in China as a \"petitioner\". Every year, many tens of thousands of Chinese people - denied the possibility of obtaining any justice through the local Communist Party run courts - head to the capital, taking their grievances to the \"State Bureau of Letters and Calls\". Corruption cases, land-grabs, local government malfeasance, medical negligence, police brutality, unfair dismissal - all are documented in the bundles of papers - the petitions - they carry with them. The system is also Communist Party run, of course, and the chances of success are tiny. But for many, it's the only chance they've got, and they often continue to petition, in vain, for years. Allegations of brutality Just like Yang Linghua's family. The BBC interviewed her sister, Yang Qinghua, three years ago on a petitioning trip to Beijing. The women allege that their land was stolen from them and their father, in the ensuing dispute, was beaten so badly he eventually died. But there's a particular reason Ms Yang was trying to reach Beijing this week. On Sunday, China begins its annual parliamentary session, The National People's Congress (NPC). The event is like a magnet for petitioners who hope to use the grand occasion to promote their cause. Beijing, though, has other ideas. It would rather keep this ragged army of the dispossessed away from its carefully choreographed piece of political theatre and so provincial officials the length and breadth of the land, are tasked with stopping petitioners making the journey. We knew that Ms Yang's sister and mother had already been placed under unofficial house arrest. But as she herself had never been to Beijing to petition before, she felt she would be free from suspicion and, at the very least, able to board a train. She was wrong. As soon as we arrived in Yang Linghua's village it was clear they were expecting us. The road to her house was blocked by a large group of people and, within a few minutes, they'd assaulted us and smashed all of our cameras. While such violence can be part of the risk faced by foreign reporters in China, what happened next is more unusual. After we left the village, we were chased down and had our car surrounded by a group of about 20 thugs. They were then joined by some uniformed police officers and two officials from the local foreign affairs office, and under the threat of further violence, we were made to delete some of our footage and forced to sign the confession. It was a very one-sided negotiation, but it at least gave us a way out - a luxury denied to the petitioners who find themselves on the receiving end of similar intimidation and abuse. A video sent to us by Yang Linghua's sister shows her being detained by some of the same people who threatened us. Warnings not to travel In the course of researching this story we spoke to one woman, now in her seventies, who has been petitioning since 1988 for a longer prison sentence for her husband's murderer. She told us that every year during the National People's Congress she is put under house arrest for 10 days. A man we contacted, petitioning over the abduction of his son, had been warned not to travel this week. He went ahead and booked his tickets anyway but was prevented from boarding the train in Guangdong Province. Even for those who do make it to Beijing, the threat of being caught remains. Outside the petitioning office this week, hundreds of \"interceptors\" have gathered, the squads of goons sent from each province to search out and cajole or coerce their petitioners to return home. Of course, many petitioners do still make it and are able to lodge their claims, particularly first-timers who are not yet known to the system. But the irony is, the harder China works to stem the flow during its national parliament, the more incentive there is for people to come. Most petitioners are not so naive as to believe they'll be able to get anywhere near the senior officials attending the parliament. But the desperation of their own provincial governments to catch them gives those who make it to Beijing a certain leverage. Ignored all year round, often by the same officials they're petitioning against, they suddenly find themselves on the receiving end of offers to negotiate. One petitioner showed us the text message exchanges she has had with the interceptors trying to track her down, with one even offering to take her on holiday. Anything to get her out of Beijing. We have heard nothing from Yang Linghua or her family since they disappeared. We have asked government officials in Beijing whether they can provide an assurance that they are safe and well. Meanwhile, on the eve of China's parliamentary gathering, many of its citizens - often those, it could be argued, who are most in need of parliamentary representation - face similar abuse. And despite having signed that confession I make no apology for trying to interview them.",

They suspected that fans going to the \"Shield and Sword\" (SS) festival would descend on supermarkets, knowing about the alcohol ban, which had been imposed by a Dresden court.

The police tweeted photos of their alcohol seizures. A local woman explained to ZDF television why the neo-Nazis were unwelcome. \"For us it's important to send the message from Ostritz that there are people here who won't tolerate this, who say 'we have different values here, we're setting an example, which is not the image of a far-right concert, which dominates the media coverage'.\" The Dresden court justified its ban on alcohol at the festival by saying \"the event has an obviously martial and aggressive character\", and there was a risk that alcohol could make violence more likely.

Lurking nearby was UK Prime Minister, Theresa May, her new foreign secretary, and a gaggle of other cabinet ministers. The Polish Prime Minister, Mateusz Morawiecki, was just behind me. And mingling in the crowd were six other prime ministers from the western Balkans with their own ministers and ambassadors. The Prince of Wales, our host, was steadily working the garden, a quiet word here, a joke there. Officials, diplomats and a solitary journalist (me) made up the rest of the numbers. The Sun was dipping in the west, the London traffic a distant hubbub and all seemed well in the world. I tell you this not as some shameless exercise in diplomatic name-dropping. This is the sort of event I go to - I am the diplomatic correspondent of the BBC. No, I want to tell you about this reception, one that marked the end of the western Balkans summit in London, for what happened next. For the Prince of Wales then stepped up to a small podium and began to give a speech. I expected the usual pleasantries and platitudes. I could not have been more wrong. 'Practical, difficult action' For the prince delivered a short but powerful homily on the importance of reconciliation. And significantly he spoke from the heart, citing his own experience following the murder of his great uncle, Lord Mountbatten, at the hands of the IRA in August 1979. \"Reconciliation is not simply a theoretical abstract concept,\" he said. \"It is, of course, a matter of practical, difficult action, painful choices, and hard, but essential, compromise. \"Blame, distrust and hatred are natural, instinctive responses to decades, even centuries, of conflict and injustice - but they do not help us to change course. That requires the really difficult business of forgiveness, understanding and, if I may say so, tremendous courage and enlightened leadership. \"I know this because very nearly 40 years ago, my great uncle, Lord Mountbatten, was murdered in a terrible bomb attack. \"Ever since that fateful day, I have been determined to pursue the long, hard road to lasting reconciliation. \"We can, of course, never forget the wrongs of the past, which must always inform the choices we make about the future. But they cannot be allowed to limit our horizons or to constrain the opportunity to which future generations aspire.\" He said meaningful reconciliation in the western Balkans was the only way of ensuring that the region's children did not endure the agonies of the generations before them. \"Much progress has been made in this regard over recent years,\" he said, \"But much much more needs to be done.\" 'Global Britain' He was speaking to an audience all too aware that this week marks the 23rd anniversary of the massacre of more than 8,000 Bosnian Muslims at the hands of Bosnia Serb forces in the town of Srebrenica, the worst mass killing on European soil since World War Two. It was a powerful and effective speech. And it struck me that perhaps here, on this lawn, as the heat of the day slowly dissipated, I had seen a small example of what British foreign policy could become after Brexit. The government currently espouses what it calls a \"global Britain\" foreign policy. This was a phrase designed to convince the world that Brexit would not mean Britain withdrawing from the world. But few claim to know what it means in practice. It has been dismissed as a slogan in pursuit of a policy. Yet at this reception we had an example of several things that Britain can bring to the party. First, the UK has strong convening power, the ability to bring all these leaders together. Who else but the Prince of Wales could persuade Angela Merkel's office that she should spend another hour of her day in the UK at a reception such as this? Who else could lecture a group of heads of government about reconciliation but a future monarch who had suffered personally from the violence of conflict? There was a tough message here: the six Balkan leaders needed to do more. Second, politicians talk breezily of British values but here, at this reception and this summit, was the UK urging six relatively new nations to embrace the value of the rule of law, the importance of justice, the prosperity that can come from stability, the advantages of multilateralism and so on. UK national interest We often presume these are universally acknowledged: they are not. Third, this was foreign policy with real edge. Warm words and cold drinks might sound at the fluffier end of diplomacy - but it is in the direct UK national interest for the western Balkans to remain stable. Parts of the region are riven with ethnic tension, many of the governments are weak, and corruption and organised crime is rife. It is not just that the UK and the rest of Europe wish to prevent a repeat of the conflicts that tore this region apart in the 1990s. There is also a threat closer to home. Many of the drugs and weapons that are used on Britain's streets originate in the western Balkans. Now, we should not overstate all this. The Prince of Wales is not about to become our de facto foreign secretary. And if \"global Britain\" is to mean anything, then the government will have to provide answers to the big foreign policy questions of the age: the UK's future attitude to a politically unstable Europe, an independent-minded United States, a rising China, the challenge of global migration and Islamist terrorism and so on. But perhaps here on this lawn, in this heady summer of sporting success and political uncertainty, there was a small cameo performance of what one day British foreign policy could become.",

In a statement, Bishop Malone said that \"after much prayer and discernment\" he had decided the diocese would be better served by a new bishop. At 73, he is leaving earlier than the 75-year mark that is the mandatory age for bishops to offer their retirement. \"As you are well aware, we have faced tremendous turmoil over the past year-and-a-half,\" Bishop Malone said, in the statement. \"Some have attributed this to my own shortcomings, but the turmoil also reflects the culmination of systemic failings over many years in the worldwide handling of sexual abuse of minors by members of the clergy.\" Bishop Malone was accused of cover-ups and confronted with embarrassing leaks. One contained Bishop Malone's interactions with church lawyers which appeared to try and limit the damage of abuse allegations. Secret audio recordings this year suggested Bishop Malone was concerned a scandal involving sexual harassment of a seminarian by a pastor \"could be the end of me as bishop\". Another leak showed that he was hesitant about removing a priest whom he referred to as a \"sick puppy\". 'Healing and renewal' The diocese had avoided any major scandals until 2018 when complaints of abuse started emerging. In March of that year, Bishop Malone released a document showing 42 priests who had been accused of sexual abuse, mostly from past decades. But his former assistant said an earlier draft contained upwards of 100 names. A recent poll conducted by The Buffalo News suggested that 86% of local Catholics wanted the bishop to go. Fewer than 3% of those surveyed said he should stay on. A petition signed by more than 12,000 people called for his departure. \"I have concluded after much prayer and discernment that the spiritual welfare of the people of the Diocese of Buffalo will be better served by a new bishop who perhaps is better able to bring about the reconciliation, healing and renewal that is so needed,\" Bishop Malone said. Bishop Malone will be replaced on a temporary basis by Albany's bishop, Edward B Scharfenberger. \"I will be doing a lot of listening and learning,\" the new bishop said, in a statement.

            "input": "By Jayne McCormackBBC News NI Political Reporter Restrictions had been eased in the run-up to Christmas, which led to a sharp spike in cases in January, causing severe pressure on the health service. Medically-trained military personnel will be deployed to help, but a union has questioned the move and said NI should have entered a stricter lockdown sooner. With Stormont ministers extending the current lockdown, could other measures could be on the table? Extension of the lockdown It's worth bearing in mind that NI is already in tight lockdown restrictions and has been for almost a month. But the current measures are now set to remain in place until at least 5 March. Deputy First Minister Michelle O'Neill said health officials had not requested any other measures be toughened up at this time, given the duration and extent of the current rules. The initial lockdown began last March, with non-essential retail not permitted to open again until 12 June. Enforcement By law people are required to stay at home during the lockdown unless they have a reasonable excuse, such as going out for exercise, medical or food needs. People are also required to wear face masks in shops and on public transport, with only a limited number of exemptions. Those who breach the rules can face fines, with businesses that break the law also able to be fined if they do not follow the rules. However, DUP minister Edwin Poots has expressed concern that not enough has been done by the PSNI to enforce the laws. It is a difficult balance for the executive to strike. They previously announced that \"Covid marshals\" would be deployed in the retail sector to ensure social distancing in queues and adherence to the rules. Ministers want to ensure as many people as possible follow the restrictions voluntarily while ensuring the PSNI has enough powers to manage the situation. Health Minister Robin Swann has not ruled out revisiting whether the level of fines people can face should be increased, and said he would raise the matter with his executive colleagues. Shutting other sectors The 2020 lockdown saw many businesses right across Northern Ireland forced to close, with retail and hospitality among them. There was confusion over whether construction and manufacturing should stop, with the executive later clarifying that essential work on building sites could continue. In the latest lockdown, the sector has been permitted to remain fully open. In the Republic of Ireland, all non-essential construction has been ordered to stop during a fresh lockdown there. Like in the previous lockdown, people have again been told to work from home unless they cannot. But it is worth pointing out many companies have had time to prepare since last March, making their workplaces Covid-secure to allow more staff to attend in person. The executive has a defined list of essential businesses here. There has also been confusion about what elements of the retail sector can operate. All but essential retail shops were told to close on 26 December, and click-and-collect is only allowed for those essential retailers. But concerns were later raised that some larger chains were \"gaming\" the regulations by selling non-essential items, with smaller independent shops who had to close arguing they were being treated unfairly. The executive met with retailers last week to discuss this, but it seems unlikely it will act to define essential items in regulations. A similar situation in Wales last year led to criticism after supermarkets were told by law not to sell certain items. Schools The majority of pupils are in an extended period of remote learning until after half-term in February, but some children of key workers and vulnerable children are still permitted to attend the classroom. Last week it emerged that at least eight times as many pupils in Northern Ireland attended schools in the first week of term in 2021 compared to the first lockdown in 2020. Though part of this is due to special schools remaining open for all pupils, unlike in March to June last year. The executive could potentially revisit the list of services it defines as meeting the \"key worker\" definition for childcare, if it wanted to reduce this further. It is also possible schools could remain closed to most pupils for a longer period, in line with extending the lockdown to 5 March. Work carried out in homes The executive says workers, builders, tradespeople and other professionals can continue to go into people's houses to carry out work such as repairs, installations and deliveries. But it does not define further what this type of work should include. It is possible ministers could tighten the circumstances in which work can be carried out in someone's home, but the guidance already specifies a limited number of exemptions for allowing others inside your home during the lockdown. House moves are also allowed under the regulations, although they were paused in the first lockdown. Music lessons and private tutoring are permitted in someone's home, with mitigations. Curfew During the first week of lockdown from 26 December, people were told not to leave their homes between 20:00 and 06:00 every day - effectively amounting to a curfew. Ministers could decide to impose the measure again, if they felt that was necessary - but initially it was imposed to stop house parties over New Year's Eve. Travel All but essential travel is not permitted outside of Northern Ireland, and anyone entering Northern Ireland must self-isolate for 10 days on arrival or face a fine. However, there is no formal travel ban on passengers from Great Britain or the Republic of Ireland entering Northern Ireland. The executive had voted by a majority before Christmas not to impose such a ban, despite calls from Sinn Féin for it to happen. Other parties argued that the public health advice did not propose a ban in law, and that travel from the Republic of Ireland to NI should be restricted as well due to its rise in cases. The current guidance states that anyone coming into NI from within the Common Travel Area who is staying for more than 24 hours should self-isolate for 10 days, but there are exemptions for those who \"cross the border\" regularly for work or other essential reasons. The executive also does not have a formal limit in law for travelling to exercise, unlike in the Republic of Ireland where it is 5km (3 miles). Justice Minister Naomi Long said there is an \"advisory limit\" of 10 miles for exercise in Northern Ireland.",

But the development was opposed by some residents, who challenged aspects of the planning process in the courts. The Department for Infrastructure has welcomed Friday's judicial review judgement. Residents from Greencastle, Rouskey and Gortin had challenged the department's decision to consider a planning application for the gold mine. They claimed a mandatory community consultation ahead of the submission of the planning application for the mine was deeply flawed. The residents' lawyers argued that Dalradian's proposals for operating a mine in the Sperrin Mountains were not \"oven ready\" when presented to the public. But a judge dismissed their bid for a judicial review and held that planning laws did not require the developer to publish and consult on a finalised scheme at that stage. He said: \"Neither a completed project concept nor a highly advanced one is required by the statute or the associated common law principles.\" The court was told this month that there had been 10,000 objections to the mine plans but that 3,000 letters of support had also been received. Dalradian has claimed the mine could tap into £3bn in gold and provide a £750m boost to the Northern Ireland economy. The judge held that the planning applicant was only required to conduct a public engagement exercise, which gives the community \"a fair and reasonable opportunity to express its views relating to the general terms of the project then in contemplation\". 'No stone unturned' After the ruling, Dalradian said it was looking forward to \"our planning application proceeding through to the public inquiry stage\". \"We will continue to work constructively with the local community and to further develop our relationships with our near neighbours.\" Martin Conway from the Greencastle, Rouskey, Gortin Concerned Community Group said its members were \"disappointed yet not deterred\" by the ruling. \"One thing is clear - we are determined to protect this area and its people, its future generations and its future conservation,\" he added. \"We will leave no stone unturned until we achieve this objective.\" The Department for Infrastructure said the judgement confirmed that it \"was correct\" in accepting that the consultation carried out by Dalradian was \"adequate and satisfied all relevant legal and procedural steps\". \"As a result of the judgement the department will continue to process the minerals planning application,\" it added.",

Their winning speeches would then be aired later in the broadcast in edited form. It is hoped the shorter ceremony will stop falling viewers for the ceremony. \"Viewing patterns for the Academy Awards are changing quickly in our current multi-media world, and our show must also evolve to successfully continue promoting motion pictures to a worldwide audience,\" the email said.

Double Oscar winner Alfonso Cuarón, whose film Roma is nominated for 10 Oscars this year including cinematography was one of the first to object. Fellow director Guillermo del Toro also voiced his concern. Gareth Ellis-Unwin, Head of Film and Animation for the skills charity ScreenSkills and the Oscar-winning producer of The King's Speech, told the BBC he would not be voting in the last round of the Oscars as a protest. \"I think it is a damaging move not to recognise some of the roles that are critical to the filmmaking process,\" he said. \"Cinematography, editing and make-up and hair are vital to the process yet are among the many jobs in the film industry that many people don't know about. \"If we want to continue to recruit new talent into the industry, it is important to showcase all the opportunities available and not just the starry ones. This is particularly important if we are serious about creating a more diverse and inclusive workforce.\" Spike Lee whose film BlacKkKlansman is up for six Oscars this year, wrote to the LA Times along with his editor Barry Alexander Brown. \"Without cinematographers and film editors, I would be lost, wandering in the cinema wilderness,\" he wrote. Director Edgar Wright is not convinced the move will bring any more viewers. And Seth Rogen's tweet has been liked more than 80,000 times. Who has written the letter? There are more than 40 cinematographers and directors who have criticised the decision. They include Damien Chazelle, Spike Jonze, Ang Lee, Spike Lee, Seth Rogen, Martin Scorsese, Quentin Tarantino. Roger Deakins, who finally won an Oscar for cinematography last year after 14 nominations, is also a signatory along with 32 other cinematographers. There are also 53 filmmakers named including Paul Lambert who won an Oscar for his visual effects work on Blade Runner 2049. What does it say? The letter says that by \"relegating these essential cinematic crafts to lesser status... is nothing less than an insult to those of us who have devoted our lives and passions to our chosen profession.\" They are asking for the decision to be reversed. \"The vocal response from our peers and the immediate backlash from industry leaders over the Academy's decision makes it clear that it's not too late to have this decision reversed,\" the letter reads. It adds the Academy was drifting from its mission in celebrating excellence in the cinematic arts. \"Unfortunately, we have drifted from this mission in our pursuit of presenting entertainment rather than in presenting a celebration of our art form and the people behind it,\" it said. This is not the first controversy over this year's Oscars The Academy announced plans to introduce a new popular film category but decided to postpone it after a backlash. Kevin Hart pulled out of hosting the awards following a controversy over homophobic tweets. The show will now have no host. What has the Academy response been? The Academy has responded with a letter to its members reassuring them that no award category \"will be presented in a manner that depicts the achievements of its nominees and winners as less than any others.\" It clarified the categories were volunteered by their branches to have their nominees and winners announced by presenters, and included later in the broadcast. The ceremony will be live streamed for the first time this year and these awards can be watched live online.

He was born in 1359 into a powerful family of Anglo-Welsh nobility, during a time of relative peace between the tribes of Wales and the English aristocracy. Military service called Glyndwr in 1384 and he enlisted under Sir Gregory Sais in the Marches area, the border country of England and Wales. On 16 September 1400, Glyndwr instigated the Welsh Revolt against the rule of Henry IV of England. A group of Glyndwr's supporters proclaimed him Prince of Wales at Glyndyfrdwy. Although initially successful, the uprising was eventually put down but the prince became a figurehead for Welsh nationalism. Source: BBC History",

He alleged it was an attempt to thwart his challenge to President Yoweri Museveni in next year's election. Police have not commented on the alleged missing documents but denied the raid was politically motivated. Before Mr Wine spoke about the missing papers, police spokesman Fred Enanga stated the raid was due to an investigation into misuse of uniform. The government has outlawed red berets - a trademark of Mr Wine - and other pieces of military wear. \"It's not political. We are carrying out operations on misuse of some of the uniforms and accoutrements,\" Mr Enanga said. Mr Wine said that red berets were also seized during the raid. The MP is facing charges which rights groups say are politically motivated. One of the requirements to run for election is to have signatures of support from 100 registered voters from at least two-thirds of Uganda's districts. Mr Wine, whose real name is Robert Kyagulanyi, said his team had already collected 6 million signatures, but that these are missing from his party's offices. \"Museveni's government is trying to block me from nominating as a presidential candidate,\" he told the BBC's Catherine Byaruhanga. \"From questioning my academic credentials, to questioning my age, now they are making every effort to frustrate my nomination and I want to believe that is why they took the signatures away.\" Asked about where this leaves his aspirations of ending Mr Museveni's 34 years in power, he said: \"We're not giving up.\" \"We have immediately communicated to our branches to ensure they start collecting the signatures immediately and hopefully by Friday we're going to have the required signatures,\" he said. A spokesperson for Uganda's Electoral Commission said it could not comment on the alleged missing documents, but added that the deadline can be extended for candidates if they raise the issue with the commission officially. Last year, Mr Wine was charged with intending to \"alarm, annoy or ridicule\" the president. He was also charged with inciting violence after being accused of calling on his supporters to physically harm the president.",

About 1,500 properties remain without power, including in Glenridding and Patterdale, which have been cut off as access roads are under water. In Kendal, a body was found by search teams looking for a man who fell into the River Kent on Sunday. Prime Minister David Cameron paid a visit to Carlisle, during which he thanked the emergency services. He also visited a flood-hit householder and looked at the city's flood defences, which were breached during the deluge. Mr Cameron said \"After every flood the thing to do is sit down, look at the money you are spending, look at what you are building, look at what you are planning to build in the future and ask, 'Is it enough?' \"And that's exactly what we will do.\" The Environment Agency said more than a month's average rainfall was recorded in 24 hours on Saturday. The organisation confirmed the 341mm (1.1ft) recorded at Honister, Keswick was a UK record. More than £300,000 has been donated to a fund set up to help people who have fallen victim to the floods and the Cumbria Community Foundation said it was set to begin allocating grants. Cumbria Police said, in Carlisle alone, up to 2,500 properties were flooded, with just under 5,000 homes and businesses affected across the county. Among those fleeing the floodwaters was Nic Hewitt, who shares a first-floor flat with her partner. She said: \"We noticed the water coming down at about 10pm [on Saturday] and between midnight and 2am it kept coming and coming. There was no stopping it. \"At 4.30am we went to bed and got a couple of hours sleep. Then we were woken up by the [rescue] boat outside. The water was above the ground-floor door and about a foot off the top window. It must have been about 8ft. \"I was terrified. Everything happened so quickly. When the RNLI told us it was time to go we had to grab what clothes we could and couldn't stop for anything. It's just devastating.\" Kitty Brame shares a house on Warwick Road and lives on the ground floor. Many of her belongings have been destroyed. She said: \"All the laminate starting coming up, you can see the flood lines on the walls, all the electrics were flooded, my futon was floating. \"I feel distraught. This is my home and it's uninhabitable. We can't live here any more. There are nine of us.\" Danny Savage, North of England Correspondent It's getting better in Carlisle, but it's a long way from being over. The water in the Warwick Road area of the city is receding and the perimeter of the flood zone has shrunk. But, people are still being rescued. Lifeboat crews say these are mainly people who thought they would tough it out at home but have finally decided enough is enough. Where the water has drained away residents are now assessing the damage. Soaking carpets are being pulled up and ruined belongings thrown away. They know what's ahead. It will take months to dry out these homes and people here are well acquainted with the long miserable experience. Also affected was John Chadwick, who was rescued by dinghy. He said: \"I was evacuated as the River Caldew burst over the flood barriers. I live alone and have severe mobility problems including osteoarthritis and mild epilepsy. I just had time to grab some medication. \"I have nowhere suitable to stay as I need ground-floor accommodation with disabled access. \"Earlier this year, I got an insurance quote for my home - they wanted £80 per month. I couldn't afford that and so I have nothing insured.\" Electricity Northwest said 2,657 properties remained without power in Cumbria, as floodwater was hampering access to engineers. Network Rail said the West Coast Main Line north of Carlisle would remain closed for several days after 8ft (2.4m) of water flooded the railway. Although flood defences put in place after previous incidents were breached, the Environment Agency defended their effectiveness. Area manager Lisa Pinney said: \"We have spent £45m on flood defences in Cumbria since 2009. Those defences did an important job this weekend in giving us time to ensure we could get warnings out. \"There is no doubt the flooding would have been a lot worse if the defences hadn't been in place.\" Keep up to date with the latest news with BBC Local Live: Cumbria.",

            "input": "But does shutting more of them and banning outdoor exercise help stop the spread of coronavirus? Why have some parks closed and some not? Closing parks and recreational areas is up to local authorities, and some took that step after people started congregating in warmer weather, despite social distancing measures. Many have since reopened, but Middlesbrough's mayor Andy Preston says those in his town will stay shut. In a post on social media, Mr Preston said parks themselves were not dangerous, but \"people gathering and mixing inappropriately could be deadly\". Elsewhere, London's Lambeth Council closed Brockwell Park on the first weekend in April after large numbers gathered to sunbathe. It has since reopened. Tower Hamlets council closed Victoria Park, but then reopened it with reduced hours and new control measures in place. The National Trust has closed all of its parks, gardens and car parks across the UK, while Chatsworth House in Derbyshire has shut down until further notice. The Peak District remains open, but the park authority urged people not to visit and said it would have rangers patrolling the area. Snowdonia National Park in north Wales closed off access to its busiest mountains, while car parks have been closed at some Scottish beauty spots. What has the government said? People around the UK are currently being advised to only leave their homes for the following reasons: Official guidance now states exercise should be done at home if you or any others in your household have potential symptoms of coronavirus. The government has said it is not going to stop outdoor exercise otherwise, but has renewed warnings against sunbathing during the current restrictions. On 16 April, police guidance was published about what constitutes a reasonable excuse for leaving your home. The guidance, which mainly applies to England, lists driving to the countryside for a walk as \"reasonable\" if \"far more time\" is spent walking than driving. But it adds that driving for a \"prolonged period with only brief exercise\" is not reasonable. It also says a person is allowed to stop for a break in exercise. However short periods of exercise followed by long periods of inactivity are not permitted (so a short walk followed by a period of sunbathing would not be permitted). How would closing parks help? It appears more people are going to parks than at the start of the lockdown - although the weather is a big factor. The government is concerned people might pass the virus between themselves in parks, defeating the purpose of the current restrictions on movement. Deputy chief medical officer Dr Jenny Harries said: \"If you are sitting on a park bench, people tend to accumulate. It is very difficult to prevent that.\" Prof John Edmunds, from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, explains there were three ways that the virus may be transmitted: \"The first two of these routes would be reduced to virtually zero out of doors,\" he said. \"You are much less likely to touch an infected surface, and suspended particles will be massively diluted by the fresh air.\" That means that the remaining danger is droplet infection. To try to avoid that people should stay at least the recommended 2m (6ft) distance from others. However, a US study has suggested that coughs can reach 6m and sneezes 8m. The government's current concern is that crowded parks and people sitting on benches could mean that people are not staying far enough apart, and so there is a danger of infection. What problems would stopping outdoor exercise cause? If outdoor exercise was stopped, it would be a particular problem for people without access to a garden. Labour's new deputy leader Angela Rayner said it was \"all right for people who have got big houses and huge back gardens\" to tell people sunbathing while observing social distancing to stop doing so. And Linda Bauld, professor of public health at University of Edinburgh, said: \"The health implications of the lockdown that we anticipate - increased alcohol consumption, domestic violence, anxiety and depression, poor diet and decreased physical activity - will get worse if we confine more of us to our homes, without the hugely important respite that outdoor exercise provides.\" \"If the rationale is virus transmission outdoors, then far stronger evidence is needed to justify it.\" Carl Heneghan, professor of evidence-based medicine at University of Oxford, pointed to limited evidence that people who exercise suffer the symptoms of diseases such as Covid for fewer days. He also stressed that people with other health conditions do much worse with the virus, and if people stop exercising they are more likely to have other conditions. \"If the government is going to stop outdoor exercise then it is stopping responding to evidence,\" he said.",

Judge Mark Weekes accepted Kakaei had a \"well-founded fear of persecution\" in his homeland, but added: \"I do not accept that ultimately you didn't want to get into the boat or that any form of duress applies in your situation.\" Kakaei agreed to pilot the boat because he feared they would not safely make the crossing and \"nobody else could do it\". \"He explained that he had learned to pilot boats when he had piloted a boat from Turkey to Greece in 2015 with over 50 people on board,\" prosecutor Simon Taylor said.

Researchers found that - in terms of the power they require to lift their weight - the best hummingbird was over 20% more efficient than the helicopter. The \"average Joe\" hummingbird, however, was on par with the helicopter, showing \"how far flight engineering has come\". The findings are published in the Royal Society journal Interface. Lead researcher Prof David Lentink, from Stanford University in California, explained that the flight performance of a hummingbird - the only bird capable of sustained hovering - was extremely difficult to measure. \"Imagine a 4g bird,\" he said. \"The forces they generate are tiny. \"As a result the drag of a hummingbird wing has never been measured accurately.\" Drag is the force opposing the upward force of lift that birds' wings generate by flapping. Prof Lentink and his team wanted to understand if feathered hummingbird wings were more efficient - using less power to overcome drag - than the engineered blades of a helicopter of a similarly tiny scale. He and his colleagues compared the birds' performance to an advanced micro-drone called the Black Hornet - a 16g helicopter used for surveillance by British troops in Afghanistan. To make the laboratory measurements, they used wings from hummingbird specimens kept in museums. By putting these detached wings into an apparatus called a wing spinner, the team was able to measure exactly how much flapping power was required to lift the bird's weight. Prof Lentink's colleagues at the University of British Columbia in Canada also made recordings of wild hummingbirds in flight, to measure the exact movement of their wings - which beat up to 80 times per second. \"By combining the wings' motion with the drag [that we measured in the lab], we were able to calculate the aerodynamic power hummingbird muscles need to provide to sustain hover,\" explained Prof Lentink. One species - the Anna's hummingbird - was champion hoverer, performing much more efficiently than the helicopter. But on average, the birds hovering performance was \"on par with the helicopter\". \"This shows that if we design the wings well, we can build drones that hover as efficiently, if not more efficiently, as hummingbirds,\" said Prof Lentink. \"Clearly we are not even close to hummingbirds in many other design metrics, such as wind gust tolerance, visual flight control through clutter, to name a few. \"But if we focus on aerodynamic efficiency, we are closer than we perhaps ever imagined possible.\" Dr Mirko Kovac from the aerial robotics lab at Imperial College London said the study was a great example of research at the interface of biology and engineering. \"Studying hummingbird wing shapes can not only give insights into the biomechanics of animals,\" he told BBC News, \"but the gained insights can also be used to build the next generation of flying micro robots.\" Follow Victoria on Twitter",

More than 500 residents of Caversham lobbied Parliament to protest over the annexation of the village by Reading Borough Council in 1910. At the beginning of the 20th Century, Caversham was a rural village, whereas nearby Reading was known for its industry. However, Reading Borough Council promised to provide better utilities and two new bridges over the Thames linking the village to the town if Caversham came into the fold. Helen Lambert, chair of Caversham and District Residents' Association, said the anniversary was a \"complicated issue\", as people in Caversham still felt ambivalent about being part of Reading. Popular place \"Before 1911, Caversham was growing extremely quickly and the infrastructure hadn't been keeping pace,\" she said. \"It was a popular place to live, in part due to the expansion of Reading. A large number of the population who lived in Caversham worked in Reading and children were going to school over there.\" Following the village's inclusion in 1911, Caversham Bridge was built 15 years later. It replaced an iron bridge dating from 1865. Holy well Nearby Reading Bridge was also built in 1923 to improve access over the Thames. Mrs Lambert said she had used the centenary as an excuse to explore the history of Caversham which was an important pilgrimage site by the beginning of the 16th Century. It was the site of the holy well of Saint Anne, the mother of the Virgin Mary and the patron saint of infertile women. Catherine of Aragon, Henry VIII's first wife, is said to have visited the Our Lady of Caversham shrine, the exact site of which is disputed. The shrine was destroyed during the Reformation but St Anne's Well can still be seen today at the top of Priest Hill, Caversham. Caversham Bridge was also the scene of a major battle in the English Civil War. A festival over the next 10 days celebrating the village's history will be held by the Caversham 100 Years On project, and further events will be held throughout the year to celebrate the 100-year-anniversary.

Some 835 jobs will be lost at yards in Govan and Scotstoun, on the River Clyde in Glasgow, and Rosyth in Fife and at the firm's Filton office, near Bristol. The cuts follow a drop in work after the end of aircraft carriers work. BAE Systems employs 1,200 in Portsmouth and 3,200 across Govan, Scotstoun, Rosyth and Filton. The company said it had made the cuts because of a \"significant\" drop in demand. The defence contractor and the Ministry of Defence (MoD) have together announced measures which they hope will offset the effect of the job cuts. Among the plans are more than £100m of investment to expand the dockyard at Portsmouth. Three new ocean-going Offshore Patrol Vessels for the Royal Navy will also be built at BAE's Govan and Scotstoun yards in Glasgow. This could help sustain shipbuilding at the yards until work is due to begin on the Type 26 Global Combat ships. BAE, which heads a consortium that includes Babcock and Thales UK, said it had agreed changes to the Queen Elizabeth-class aircraft carrier contract it signed with the MoD in 2009. This would see the consortium's fee move to a 50-50 risk share arrangement which would provide greater cost performance incentives. A statement released by BAE Systems said: \"Under these proposals, shipbuilding operations at Portsmouth will cease in the second half of 2014. \"Subject to consultation, Lower Block 05 and Upper Blocks 07 and 14 of the second Queen Elizabeth Class Aircraft Carrier will be allocated to Glasgow. \"The company remains committed to continued investment in the Portsmouth area as the centre of its Maritime Services and high-end naval equipment and combat systems business.\" BAE said it had agreed with the MoD \"that Glasgow would be the most effective location for the manufacture of the future Type 26 ships\". \"The company proposes to consolidate its shipbuilding operations in Glasgow with investments in facilities to create a world-class capability, positioning it to deliver an affordable Type 26 programme for the Royal Navy,\" BAE said. It said the cost of this restructuring would be borne by the MoD. BAE said it would now begin consultation to cut 1,775 jobs \"to result from these restructuring proposals\". This would see 940 posts go in Portsmouth in 2014 and 835 across Filton, Glasgow and Rosyth, through to 2016. The statement added: \"The implementation of these restructuring activities will sustain BAE Systems' capability to deliver complex warships for the Royal Navy and secure the employment of thousands of highly skilled employees across the UK.\" The MoD confirmed that it would commission three new ocean-going Offshore Patrol Vessels to play \"a key role in counter-terrorism, counter-piracy and anti smuggling operations\". These will be built, it said, at BAE's Govan and Scotstoun yards in Glasgow. Work on the new vessels is due to begin next year with the first ship being delivered to the Royal Navy in 2017. 'Vital skills' The ships are expected to replace the current, smaller River Class vessels which have been policing the UK's waters since 2003. Defence Secretary Philip Hammond said: \"This deal will provide the Royal Navy with three brand new maritime patrol vessels with a wide range of capabilities which will support our national interests and those of our overseas territories. \"This is an investment not only in three ships but in this country's warship building industry. It prevents workers standing idle and sustains the vital skills needed to build the planned Type 26 frigate in the future.\" Mr Hammond is also announcing that more than £100m will be invested in Portsmouth. The money will be used to expand the dockyard to ensure it is ready for the arrival of HMS Queen Elizabeth and HMS Prince of Wales as well as the Type 45 destroyers which are based in Portsmouth. The defence secretary added: \"I am also pleased to announce additional investment in Portsmouth Naval Base to prepare for the significant increase in tonnage as the home port for the Royal Navy's aircraft carriers and destroyers.\" The MoD said under the terms of the new arrangements that \"Portsmouth will maintain its proud maritime heritage as the home of much of the Royal Navy's surface fleet and the centre of BAE Systems ship support and maintenance business\". Speaking at Prime Minister's questions in the Commons, David Cameron said his thoughts were with the workers affected by these \"extremely difficult decisions\". He added: \"We want our Royal Navy to have the best and most modern ships and the best technology. \"That means we will go on building warships on the Clyde, we will be announcing three new offshore patrol vessels, keeping that yard busy rather than paying for it to remain idle as the last government proposed. \"In Portsmouth, yes there will be job reductions, but there are many more people involved in ship servicing than in ship building, so the workforce will go from 12,000 to 11,000.\" Labour's Shadow Defence Secretary Vernon Coaker said it was \"a difficult day\" for the shipbuilding industry and his first thoughts were with those facing job losses. Referendum issue He added: \"Two things are clear. Firstly, the MoD is to meet the cost of restructuring the naval shipbuilding business across Britain. We need to see all of the detail about how much that will cost and how the cost will be met. \"Secondly, Britain must retain a sovereign shipbuilding capability. None of us want to see Scotland leave the United Kingdom, but we need clarity from the government about what safeguards are in place to meet all eventualities after next year's referendum.\" Scotland's Deputy First Minister Nicola Sturgeon told the BBC she was relieved Govan was not closing, but said the 800 job losses were a \"devastating blow\" for the Clyde and Scottish economy. \"The Scottish government will be working very closely with the company and with the trade unions, firstly to minimise the number of job losses, but also to work very hard with those affected to help them into alternative employment,\" she said. Ms Sturgeon the Clyde yards would be the best place to build the new Type 26 ships. She said: \"The investment that we've seen in the Clyde yards in recent years, the skill mix of the workers in the Clyde, make the Clyde the best place to build these ships - there's no doubt about that.\" David Hulse, GMB national officer and chair of the Confederation of Shipbuilding and Engineering Unions' shipbuilding national committee, said the announcements had been part of a \"devastating day for the UK shipbuilding industry\". \"We have arranged a two-day meeting with the company at Farnborough next Monday and Tuesday that will be attended by officers and shop stewards from all the yards and all the unions,\" he said. \"This meeting will examine in detail the business case and all aspects for scheduling work in the yards to complete building the carriers, starting work on the Type 26 ships and any other work.\" The independent MP for Portsmouth South, Mike Hancock, said ending shipbuilding at Portsmouth would be a difficult decision to reverse. He added: \"The expertise is very, very much dedicated to shipbuilding. And once they disperse the workforce in various parts of the south of England I don't think it's going to be easy to put that back together.\" Workers at BAE's Scotstoun and Govan yards in Glasgow were sent home for the day after being told the news. They were told by management there would be about 800 jobs lost in Scotland but no breakdown was given. Workers who left the yards said they were worried and disappointed, but that the announcement was not unexpected.

Despite spending years hiding her scars, now the 26-year-old is taking part in a beauty pageant for women who have disfigurement. She wants to help other burns survivors improve their body confidence. When she was a teenager, Laura was picked on and called names for having scars. But since leaving school, her confidence has shot up and she said she feels \"excited\" to wear bikinis, shorts and dresses without tights. \"I don't mind showing my lumps and bumps anymore,\" she said. \"I feel really excited. I used to be scared of getting dressed up or wearing swimsuits. \"You have this image of stick-thin models and it is not what you should be - it is about being yourself,\" she said. Ms Masters suffered from an eating disorder and thought weight would affect how her scars looked, when she was at school. And trying to find the right dress was \"hard\" for her, because the burns formed scars which made her waist uneven. All six women who are modelling in the Miss Unique Beauty UK pageant in Sheffield have burns, scars or disfigurement. It is the first year the pageant has run. It was set up by burns survivor Rochelle Barrett, who tweeted that the models \"show that disfigurement and visible differences are not to be feared, judged, or taboo\". Ms Masters wants to help other burns survivors too, to feel good in whatever they wear, by sharing pictures of her scars on Instagram. \"Now I don't have to hide who I am or my scars,\" she said. \"The other girls I've met are so inspiring and helped my own journey,\" she added. Until she was 18, Ms Masters hadn't dated or gone on a night out because her confidence was low. But less than a decade since then, she loves getting dressed up for a night out, going on holiday with friends and heading to the beach to watch surfing. She said: \"People who have got disabilities are afraid to speak out, but it is so important - for your mental health too. \"It is amazing how much support is out there for people.\"",

It is being phased in this month at under-12s games and will then be expanded to take in under-14s. Smokers' group Forest said the number of smokers at games would be small and \"most eyes will be on the football\". Clubs are being given promotional material to help them to publicise the ban, which has been set up with anti-smoking campaign group ASH Wales. It comes after a pilot was held at Rhondda and District Football League's mini and junior football games and at the South Wales Women's and Girls' League junior matches. The Welsh Government plans to ban smoking in playgrounds by March. Health Minister Vaughan Gething praised the ban by the FAW and its trust, which supports grassroots football. \"Voluntary bans like this one help protect children from seeing smoking as an acceptable and normal behaviour and can help prevent them from taking up smoking in the first place,\" he said. Dr David Adams, from the FAW Trust, said: \"As a parent of children who take part in grassroots football, I am delighted with our partnership with ASH Wales, and that the FAW and FAW Trust are leading the way to help the next generation of children grow up recognising the health risks associated with smoking.\" What do people think? Former smoker Su Griffith agrees with the ban, saying \"losing two hours not being able to have a cigarette isn't going to kill them\". Liam Jones said it was a \"good idea\" to protect people from second-hand smoke. \"It can affect kids' minds as well, thinking it's OK to smoke,\" he added. Evelyn Roberts said the ban was \"fine as long as there is a smoking shed or somewhere else for them to smoke\". And non-smoker Donna Williams said: \"For the health of young children, I agree with banning it.\" Parents at a children's football training session in Cardiff supported the move. George Oliver said he did not see most parents smoking on the sidelines, but anything which re-enforced the message \"has got to be a really positive thing\". Gemma Walsh said the move was \"a good idea\", while Rob Morville agreed, adding: \"If you've got parents on the sidelines smoking, that's only going to give a bad impression to the children.\" Suzanne Cass, from ASH Wales, said there was \"an urgent need to address youth smoking prevalence which is still at an unacceptable level\". \"This policy will make a big difference to children's perception of smoking and we very much hope that this will prevent many of them from taking up the habit in later life,\" she said. Simon Clark, director of smokers' lobby group Forest, said \"smoking in the open air does not put anyone else's health at risk\". \"This is virtue-signalling by the FAW and further evidence that the war on tobacco is now a moral crusade with unintended consequences for tolerance and moderation,\" he said. \"A genuine problem at children's football matches is pushy parents screaming abuse at referees.\"",

            "input": "By Stephen EvansBBC News, Seoul I get emails from people in Europe asking me whether nuclear war is about to start - and then I look out of the window, in Seoul, and see a market where people amble gently between the stalls, sampling street food. Around the world, headlines scream \"danger\" - but at what would be the epicentre of any war, there's not the slightest sign of fear. While tension mounts far away, street dancers in Seoul accost passers-by with pamphlets advertising a concert. Who's right? The headline writers or the putative war victims? Has the world suddenly got much more dangerous? In one way, it obviously has. North Korea is closer to possessing effective nuclear warheads and missiles, simply because it's had longer to sort out the problems. North Korea tests missiles every one or two weeks to learn from their mistakes. But the expert view is that North Korea does not have the capability to strike the United States. It is making progress, but it isn't there yet. A day after the fearsome display of missiles in Pyongyang, North Korea launched a dud - another one. The other new element is President Trump himself. He's been sending different messages, which require a little analysis. Under President Obama, the policy was called \"strategic patience\" - squeeze North Korea with sanctions, persuade others to do the same, particularly China, and sit it out. At the demilitarized zone (DMZ) this week, Vice-President Mike Pence said the \"era of strategic patience is over\". But is it? Or does it continue under another name? The military option - an attack on North Korean nuclear installations - was considered by previous presidents and ruled out because half the population of South Korea lives in the greater Seoul area, which is within easy range of North Korean artillery. That remains true. Decapitation - the assassination of Kim Jong-un - has also not happened for a variety of reasons: success couldn't be guaranteed, and it isn't clear what orders the military might have to retaliate against South Korea if the north's \"supreme leader\" were attacked. That hasn't changed. Whether the policy really has changed depends on whether President Trump has a different attitude to risk and the potential cost of war, perhaps a war that would suck in China. In 1994, President Clinton considered attacking North Korean nuclear sites. The United States had information the regime was about to move fuel rods from its reactor at Yongbyon, to the north of Pyongyang, to a reprocessing centre (the first step in making a nuclear bomb). Plans were made to send fighters and cruise missiles to attack, but the order was never given. President Clinton's Defence Secretary William Perry feared retaliation against South Korea. But it was a plan that scared the North Koreans and enabled a deal to be done. The US provided fuel to a fuel-starved economy, and North Korea agreed to freeze its programme (though it then cheated and the deal fell apart in 2002). Today, Mr Perry believes the opportunity for what he calls \"creative diplomacy\" is there, particularly because China may be more helpful than it was during the Clinton presidency. North Korea has to believe that the United States might attack and that, on this reasoning, makes President Trump's unpredictability an asset. In recent days, the administration has downplayed the idea of attacking North Korea. National security adviser Lt Gen HR McMaster said on Sunday: \"All our options are on the table.\" But, crucially, he added: \"It's time for us to undertake all actions we can, short of a military option, to try to resolve this peacefully.\" There is a pessimistic view and an optimistic view. The bleak view is that President Trump is way out of his depth and acts impulsively. On this reading, we are in great danger. Sir Max Hastings, the author of an acclaimed history of the Korean War, has written: \"As ever with this president, it is impossible to judge whether he means what he says, or even understands the significance of his words.\" He cited a scenario that in his view echoed the way the world stumbled into war in 1914, through the \"dysfunctional personality\" of a leader. The nightmare scenario now would be: \"The United States delivers an ultimatum to North Korea, insisting it renounces its nuclear weapons. \"The half-crazed regime in the capital, Pyongyang, refuses. \"US aircraft and missiles strike at Kim Jong-Un's nuclear facilities. \"North Korea's neighbour and ally, China, responds by hitting carriers of the US Seventh Fleet in the Pacific. \"Suddenly, a major war erupts.\" But there is a more peaceful scenario, suggested by some experts in South Korea. Prof John Delury, of Yonsei University, in Seoul, says: \"The smart play for Mr Trump would be to return to those five wise words he said about Mr Kim on the campaign trail, 'I would speak to him.' \"The United States should swiftly negotiate a bilateral deal that freezes Mr Kim's nuclear and missile programme.\" Under this scenario, money - a lot of money - would be given to North Korea in order to improve its economy. There would probably have to be a guarantee that the regime wouldn't be toppled. In this case, Kim Jong-un would have to be ready to negotiate (a huge if) and some trust would have to be put in him not to cheat and not to keep demanding more (another big if). Which way will Trump jump?",

            "input": "Proposals for a workplace parking levy were included in last week's budget agreement between the SNP and Greens. Deputy First Minister John Swinney told MSPs that it would be up to individual councils whether to introduce it. The Conservatives said the tax would hit low-paid workers the hardest. Under the proposals, councils would be able to charge employers an annual tax for every parking space they provide for employees. Employers could then choose to foot the bill themselves - or pass on some or all of the cost to their employees. Councils in England have had the power to introduce a parking tax for about 20 years, but only Nottingham has done so. The Nottingham scheme currently charges just over £400 a year for each parking space - and has been credited with cutting congestion and pollution while raising £50m for sustainable transport projects since 2012. Finance Secretary Derek Mackay admitted on Wednesday that no economic analysis of the potential impact of the policy in Scotland had been carried out. But speaking at Holyrood on Thursday, Scottish Conservative deputy leader Jackson Carlaw said a £400 annual charge \"would be equivalent to increasing the basic rate of tax paid by a worker on the real living wage from 20p in the pound to 30p in the pound\". He went on to claim that \"tens of thousands of Scottish workers are to be fleeced for hundreds of pounds a year just because Derek Mackay, John Swinney and Nicola Sturgeon can't say no to six dismal Green MSPs\". Mr Carlaw questioned why the government had promised in its budget agreement that the levy would not apply to NHS workers - but there was no mention of teachers, police officers or other public sector workers. He urged the Scottish government to \"drop this wanted and unworkable plan\", which he said the Conservatives would continue to oppose. And he highlighted comments by SNP backbencher Richard Lyle, who told Holyrood two months ago that: \"I am not for your parking charge levy, and I speak on behalf of thousands of motorists who've been taxed enough.\" 'Exercise judgement' Mr Swinney, who was filling in for Nicola Sturgeon at first minister's questions because she in on a trip to the US and Canada, responded by insisting that the proposal was about \"empowering\" councils. He said: \"It will enable local authorities to exercise a judgment as to whether they wish to apply a workplace parking levy. \"The decision will be up to local authorities - it is an example of localism in practice and I would have thought the Conservatives would welcome that.\" Mr Swinney also said that, as a minority government, the SNP had no choice but to talk to and reach agreement with other parties if its budget was to pass - and accused the Tories of being \"conspicuously absent\" from these talks. He said: \"Jackson Carlaw has been found out today, he goes around the country arguing for more powers for local government and when we deliver them, he comes here in an act of rank hypocrisy and criticises them. \"The people of Scotland can see through the hypocrisy of the Tories, they can see what the Tories are about, their spots have never changed, they want to cut public spending and they will take the hypocritical way of doing it.\" Legislation delayed The power for councils to levy a workplace parking tax is to be introduced via the Transport Bill, with Green MSP John Finnie planning to table an amendment which SNP members have committed to backing. The bill is still in the early stages of the legislative process, and the rural economy committee was told on Wednesday that it was set to be delayed. Convener Edward Mountain said ministers had requested a delay \"partly on resource capacity within the Scottish government\", and partly because of the parking levy amendment. Members had stressed the need for extra time to conduct a full consultation on how the plans would work. While the government confirmed the delay on Thursday, with the bill likely to be on hold until \"early summer\", a spokesman claimed the move was was \"unconnected to the budget\" and was instead because of Brexit.",

The government took on the mortgages of Bradford & Bingley after rescuing the lender in 2008. UK Asset Resolution (UKAR), which has been handling the sale, says that terms and conditions for the 104,000 loans will not change. The deal is one of the biggest asset sales by a European government. \"The sale of these Bradford & Bingley assets for £11.8bn marks another major milestone in our plan to get taxpayers' money back following the financial crisis,\" Chancellor Philip Hammond said in a statement. \"We are determined to return the financial assets we own to the private sector and today's sale is further proof of the confidence investors have in the UK economy.\" Assets sold Bradford & Bingley had been a conservatively-run building society, but in 1999 abandoned its mutual status and moved into riskier areas of lending. That strategy backfired in 2008 when the UK housing market slumped amid the global financial crisis. When Bradford & Bingley was rescued that year, its branches and deposit accounts were sold to Spain's Santander, while the government took over responsibility for the mortgages. UKAR was set-up in 2010 to manage that portfolio of mortgages, as well as loans taken on following the collapse of Northern Rock. It started with £116bn worth of loans on its books and the latest sale cuts those holdings to £22bn - of that £12.7bn originated from Bradford & Bingley and £9.7bn originally came from Northern Rock. UKAR says the remaining loans are a mix of performing and non-performing loans. Around half are residential mortgages while the rest are buy-to-let. A non-performing loan is generally classified as one where the borrower has not made a scheduled payment for more than 90 days. Analysis: Simon Gompertz, BBC personal finance correspondent When you sell a bunch of mortgages, what matters to the buyer is who the borrowers are and whether they are likely to pay their loans back. All of these former Bradford & Bingley borrowers are buy-to-let investors. 90% are on average interest rates of only 1.75% above Bank of England base rate, which is currently 0.25%. And, typically, they have managed to invest in more than one property, an average of 1.8 each. In other words, out of the rubble of what remains of the stricken lender, these are the most solid looking prospects. What's left in the portfolio which remains with the taxpayer? Some more buy-to-letters and, crucially, 56,000 residential borrowers. They include many stuck on an interest rate of nearly 5%, thousands in financial difficulty and over a thousand who have been referred for help in dealing with debt. Offloading these loans is likely to be much more difficult.",

The single spent 15 weeks in the UK top 40, peaking at number 11 - but his next song climbed even higher. La La La, a collaboration with British producer Naughty Boy, went to number one and became the fifth biggest-selling single of 2013. After releasing a solo EP last year, he officially launches his solo career next month with the single Money On My Mind, a spritely, infectious pop song about resisting the lure of record label cash. He told the BBC the song was \"about someone in the industry who offended me recently and I had to get it off my chest.\" Money On My Mind has recently been added to Radio One's influential playlist. The station's head of music, George Ergatoudis said: \"Sam Smith is blessed with a distinctive mellifluous voice that imbues his lyrics with real emotion and soul. \"The public are looking for authentic artists with genuine talent and Sam more than fits the bill. He is going to enjoy huge success this year.\" Smith has also been named the winner of the Critics' Choice award by the Brits, and will pick up his trophy at the ceremony on 19 February. 'Freaked out' The Sound of 2014 was compiled by a range of music industry experts, ranging from magazine editors and newspaper critics to influential bloggers, DJs and radio and TV producers. Each was asked to name their favourite three new acts - rather than the ones they thought would be commercially successful. They were free to choose performers from any country and any musical genre. Artists who had scored a UK top 20 single or album before 11 November 2012 were ineligible, as were those already well-known to the UK public - for example by featuring in the final stages of a TV talent show or already being a member of a successful band. The tips were compiled into a longlist of the top 15 artists, which was published in December, and the top five have been revealed this week. In second place was London-born pop singer Ella Eyre, with brooding R&B siren Banks taking third place. The futuristic electro-soul of Sampha came fourth and blues-rock guitarist George Ezra completed the top five. It is the first time the entire top five has been comprised of solo artists. Greg Cochrane, editor of NME.com said: \"If the top five in this year's Sound Of is anything to go by, it's going to be a strong year for innovative young solo artists. \"It's particularly exciting that four of the five are British, too. 2013 wasn't a brilliant year for UK artists translating buzz into sales, so the industry will be hoping these artists really capture music fans' imaginations.\" LA pop-rock trio Haim came top of the Sound of 2013 list. Their debut album Days Are Gone beat Justin Timberlake to number one in September, and went on to sell more than 100,000 copies in the UK. Guitarist and singer Alana Haim said her advice for Smith was \"play as much as you can\" and \"get your record done\". \"After we won, a lot of things start happening really fast and we were kind of freaked out,\" she added. \"I think if we'd had more of our album finished before we won, it would have come out a little bit faster. \"But, really, you have to take a breath and realise that these people you've never met enjoy what you do.\" Previous winners include: Michael Kiwanuka (2012), Ellie Goulding (2010), Adele (2008), Corinne Bailey Rae (2006), and Keane (2004). Other artists in the top five in previous years include Florence and the Machine (2009), James Blake (2011), Frank Ocean (2012), The Vaccines (2011), Marina and the Diamonds (2010), Foals (2008) and Plan B (2006).",

            "input": "Lawyers and legal experts have said China's national security law for Hong Kong will fundamentally change the territory's legal system. It introduces new crimes with severe penalties - up to life in prison - and allows mainland security personnel to legally operate in Hong Kong with impunity. The legislation gives Beijing extensive powers it has never had before to shape life in the territory far beyond the legal system. Analysis of the law by NPC Observer, a team of legal experts from the United States and Hong Kong, identified what they consider a number of worrying aspects. \"Its criminal provisions are worded in such a broad manner as to encompass a swath of what has so far been considered protected speech,\" said a posting on its website. Article 29 is perhaps an example of this broad wording. It states that anyone who conspires with foreigners to provoke \"hatred\" of the Chinese government, or the authorities in Hong Kong, could have committed a criminal offence. Does that include criticism of China's governing Communist Party? On Wednesday at a media briefing, Hong Kong's Justice Secretary Teresa Cheng was asked to define exactly what the provision means. She was unable to give a clear answer. Article 55 also contains vague language. It gives Chinese mainland security operatives the right to investigate some national security cases that are \"complex\", \"serious\" or \"difficult\". As the NPC Observer team note, these words are \"highly subjective and malleable\". Human rights organisations have pointed out how the law seems to undermine protections previously offered to defendants. Trials can be held in secret (Article 41) and without a jury (Article 46). Judges can be handpicked (Article 44) by Hong Kong's chief executive, who is answerable directly to Beijing. The law also reverses a presumption that suspects will be granted bail (Article 42). That same provision also appears to suggest there is no time limit on how long suspects can be held. It says only that cases should be handled in a \"timely manner\". Hong Kong's new security law Entire cases - from investigation to judgement to punishment - can be simply handed over to the mainland authorities (Article 56). Foreign nationals outside of Hong Kong face prosecution under the law (Article 38). Donald Clarke, writing for the China Collection, a blog focusing on Chinese issues, wrote that a US newspaper columnist advocating Tibetan independence might fall foul of the law. \"If you've ever said anything that might offend the PRC (People's Republic of China) or Hong Kong authorities, stay out of Hong Kong,\" he wrote. Mr Clarke, of the George Washington University Law School, said the biggest worry was the institutions and processes that the law has established. The legislation allows China to set up the Office for Safeguarding National Security in Hong Kong - a mainland Chinese body to be staffed by mainland Chinese personnel. Article 60 makes it clear that anyone who works there does not have to abide by Hong Kong's laws. They shall not be subject to \"inspection, search or detention\". As Mr Clarke wrote: \"They are untouchable.\" Claudia Mo, an opposition lawmaker in Hong Kong, said the aim of China's national security legislation was to \"stun Hong Kong into nothingness\". \"People will be so petrified, so frightened and intimidated, that they wouldn't dare say anything or do anything in opposition,\" she said. Of course, that is not the view in Beijing. Zhang Xiaoming, of China's Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office, said on Wednesday that the law would help return stability to the territory. It will bring Hong Kong more in line with the laws, procedures and practices of mainland China. Whether or not you think the legislation was necessary, it is impossible to deny its significance. As Hong Kong's leader Carrie Lam put it: this is a turning point.",

Mr Gulen, who lives in the US, is blamed by Turkey for last year's failed coup attempt. He denies the claim. The warrant also accuses Mr Fuller of \"attempting to overthrow\" Turkey's government, the Hurriyet daily reports. More than 50,000 people have been arrested in Turkey pending trial over links to Mr Gulen. Another 150,000 people have been sacked or suspended from jobs in the public and private sectors since the coup attempt on 15 July 2016. Turkish-US relations have been strained in recent months. Earlier this week, a Turkish-Iranian gold trader told a US court that Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan had personally approved his sanction-breaking deals with Iran. Reza Zarrab is a key witness in the criminal trial of a Turkish banker whom he allegedly worked with to help Iran launder money. President Erdogan has denied that Turkey breached US sanctions on Iran. Just days before that row, Turkey denied reports that former White House aide Michael Flynn was part of a plot to help forcibly remove Mr Gulen to Turkey in exchange for millions of dollars as \"ludicrous\". In October, Washington and Ankara were involved in a consular row, mutually scaling back visa services. Legal tit-for-tat? By Mark Lowen, BBC News, Istanbul To many Turkey-watchers, it smacks of outlandish conspiracy theories. But polls show a majority of Turks firmly believe that the CIA was involved in the failed coup. And Graham Fuller is the latest in a string of foreigners that the Turkish authorities have linked to the alleged plot. They claim Mr Fuller helped plan the attempted overthrow while in Istanbul, along with another American academic, Henri Barkey - allegations supported by an infamous pro-Kremlin Russian philosopher. Needless to say, Mr Fuller and Mr Barkey have called the claims ludicrous. But another factor is almost certainly at play: the trial in the US of a Turkish banker and a gold-trader on charges of sanctions-busting with Iran. Both men are extremely close to President Erdogan, who has slammed the case as a plot against Turkey. Amidst a frenzy of claim and counter-claim, the Turkish government could well be playing legal tit-for-tat, its supporters buying the argument that a giant Western-led conspiracy against Turkey is slowly being unearthed.",

            "input": "By Kenneth MacdonaldBBC Scotland Science Correspondent According to the data, those of Celtic ancestry in Scotland and Cornwall are more similar to the English than they are to other Celtic groups. The study also describes distinct genetic differences across the UK, which reflect regional identities. Read BBC Science correspondent Pallab Ghosh on the study here. As just about anyone in Orkney will tell you, Orcadians are different. This study underlines that, albeit not in the way they might think. The authors divided the UK's genetic variations into 17 major clusters. They found the biggest level of variation separated the samples in Orkney from all of the rest. The Orcadian branch of the tree splits into three distinct clusters, with the island of Westray qualifying for one of its own. As you might expect, the influence of Norse DNA is strong in all three. But not as strong as you might think. The paper says Norwegian DNA has contributed to about 25% of Orcadian DNA. What's more, the estimated dates of that contribution coincide with the historical record: it's when the Vikings started to turn their attention to the islands. The authors say that's further validation of their methods. But the evidence suggests that, for all the cultural power of the islands' Norse heritage, the genetic legacy of Pictish and other pre-Viking DNA remains strong. Just as important, though, is what this study does not tell us. We're dealing here with relatively small variations in DNA. They're useful in helping us find major demographic changes through human history. They can also help avoid pitfalls in modern disease studies. But this is not a \"racial\" map of the UK. For a start, the sample looked only at middle aged Caucasians, all four of whose grandparents were born within 50 miles of each other. That means, as the authors point out, it looks at genes which were established before the major population movements of 20th century Britain. There may be no single \"Celtic gene\" but many scholars have long suggested that Celtic identity is - like Britishness - a cultural construct. Most of us are happily free to choose the identities we want rather than have one forced upon us. And we can choose multiple identities - European, UK, British, Scottish, Nordic and Orcadian, say - and express them all at the same time if we want. Meanwhile every one of us remains 100% human.",

Its assets under management and administration stood at £610.1bn, compared with £626.5bn for the same period in 2017. Pre-tax profits from continuing operations fell 12% from a year earlier to £311m - below analyst expectations of £325m. The Scottish fund giant was formed by the merger of Standard Life and Aberdeen Asset Management last year. In its half-year report, the company said macroeconomic and political uncertainties continued to affect investor sentiment, driving investors to look for new strategies. 'New mandates' Chief executives Martin Gilbert and Keith Skeoch said conditions for the asset management industry were \"challenging\". They added: \"Our investment and distribution teams are winning new mandates and we have a good and diverse pipeline of business from around the world. \"We are actively taking steps to improve our investment performance in key areas and are encouraged by the impact of these initiatives.\" Meanwhile, the company also confirmed that it was accelerating plans to return £1.75bn to shareholders, adding that the first £175m tranche of its share buyback programme would begin \"in the next few days\". The group announced the move in May, saying that it would follow the sale of its European insurance business to Phoenix Group. The transaction is expected to complete in the third quarter. Analysis by Douglas Fraser, BBC Scotland business/economy editor \"Challenging market\" is a familiar euphemism for chief executives facing an uncomfortable ride. And that's where job-sharing Martin Gilbert and Keith Skeoch appear to be, with the half-year results for Standard Life Aberdeen. The share price is down since they merged, and they readily concede it is undervalued. The share buyback, of £1.75bn, is partly intended to give it a help upwards. That money is partly made available by the sale of the insurance division to Phoenix, which will see around 3,000 people, mainly in Edinburgh, transfer to the new employer by the end of next month. Shareholders are also benefiting from the successful float in Mumbai this week of the joint venture HDFC fund manager in India. The Gilbert/Skeoch strategy is to focus on asset management in Edinburgh, with more than £600bn under management. The biggest asset manager in Europe, that should give them real clout. But it has been losing ground. Instead of being bigger than the sum of the parts, they've become smaller. Assets Under Management have lost another £16bn net, to reach £610bn. But as the chief executives say, they are facing a market that is \"liquidity-driven\". A lot of it is being driven towards tracker funds rather than the more expensive actively-managed ones. Those who manage funds actively, carrying the cost of research, are finding \"compression\" of charges. Shareholders will be aware that's another euphemism, referring to the downward pressure on what Standard Life Aberdeen can charge in management fees, while rivals are cutting as low as zero (though read the small print carefully). With fees compressed and a net outflow of funds, if the firm can't push up earnings, then the target of cutting its earnings ratio from 69% to 60% (slow progress in recent months) is going to require more than the £350m currently being taken out of its cost base.",

The new shake-up, called \"On Air, On Sale\", will be introduced by Universal and Sony from Tuesday 1 February. Universal Music UK chairman, David Joseph, says the changes are being made because \"we live in an immediate world\". He said: \"On Air, On Sale is good news for any music fan and exciting for our artists who can now go into the studio knowing they don't have to wait weeks, or sometimes months, to see the music they have created go on sale. \"I'm pretty confident that in a few months it's going to be a level playing field. \"I can only make the decision on behalf of our artists and our company, but I'm absolutely convinced that in the next few months everyone will have the same policy.\" 'Artist view' The change is a big shift from established music industry practice. Previously, tracks would be played on radio for weeks before they were available to buy - a practice known as \"setting up\" a song. Essex singer Jessie J thinks it's a good idea. The 22-year-old, who came top of the BBC's Sound Of 2011 list and won the Critics' Choice Brit award, released her debut single Do It Like A Dude on air and on sale in November. Yesterday (16 January) it reached number two in the official UK singles chart. She thinks it will help in the fight against music piracy. \"I understand power to the people but everyone has to make a living,\" she told Newsbeat. \"I've had a lot of people rip music off YouTube but I won't be able to make another album if no one buys this one. That's what the fans have to realise. \"For me to be a good artist, you have to be a good fan. If you steal music I can't then give you more because I'm not proving to the label that I'm someone that's going to earn them money for them to keep me.\" Pirate sites Martin Talbot is managing director of the Official Charts Company. He says it may change the way the singles chart looks. \"The concern to date has been that in that gap between a record becoming available on radio and becoming available to buy, people have found other ways to access that music. \"That may be recording it themselves off the radio or people going to pirate sites to download that music. \"This will potentially mean bigger sales of bigger records as well. \"The chance of a record coming in, appearing very quickly and then dropping back out again will become a rarer phenomenon.\" In a statement to Newsbeat, EMI Music said: \"We don't have a blanket policy on this. \"Sometimes it's best to let a song build at radio for a short while as happened very successfully with Tinie Tempah. \"At other times we release to radio and retail at the same time e.g. Gorillaz' Stylo or Coldplay's Christmas Lights.\" 'Different patterns' George Ergatoudis, head of music at BBC Radio 1 and 1Xtra, said the move was an exciting change for fans. \"For most of the audience it's pretty exciting that as soon as you hear something on the radio you'll be able to buy it,\" he told Newsbeat. \"There'll definitely be different patterns in the charts because you'll get big hit, well known artists smashing straight into the top five. \"There'll be other artists that take a longer, slower, gradual process as people discover them and discover the song. \"There'll be a lot more travelling up and down the charts as a result of this,\" he added.

South-east and north-east England are particularly badly hit with hundreds of schools closed in Sussex, Kent, Essex, the Solent, and parts of Yorkshire. And with more freezing weather ahead, the closures are set to continue. School closures had already affected many parts of Scotland - with half of schools closed there on Wednesday. On Thursday, with snow showers sweeping southwards, the closure rate is down to about 45% here. But almost every region of England is now affected after another big dump of snow overnight made some roads impassable.. The fresh falls have left hundreds more schools closed in East and South Yorkshire, Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire and Staffordshire. And with the Met Office warning of very heavy snow falls for most parts of north-east England, even more could face closures on Friday. There are also closures in the south-west of England, with a handful of schools shut for at least part of the day in Wiltshire and Somerset. London schools have fared better in the weather, but with rail disruption in south London and the south-east staff have faced a struggle to get into work - and many will not have made it. However, some schools in south-east London, such as in Greenwich, have also been forced to close. There have also been a handful of school closures in County Down in Northern Ireland and in parts of Wales - some due to frozen and burst pipes. Head teachers are usually responsible for the decision to close a school. It is mainly based on whether pupils and staff can get to and from school buildings safely and whether there are enough staff to teach and supervise children. They also consider whether the school site is safe. Websites and local radio stations have been passing on news of schools that have been shut by the bad weather, but most schools have their own systems for notifying parents and staff if their doors are staying closed. There have been calls for schools to make up lesson time lost to school closures. Anastasia de Vaal, from think-tank Civitas, is urging schools that close to extend their terms so pupils can make up for lost time. She told BBC News: \"Internationally this is a system that happens after several consecutive days where the school is closed, and really the aim is to make sure that schools are able to do everything they can, and crucially are supported by their local authority local services to stay open.\" 'Flexibility' England's Department for Education is advising heads to keep their schools open where possible. It has reassured them that absences because of poor weather would not count against schools. But it added heads who believe a child could have got to school but did not attend should record an unauthorised absence Scotland's education secretary Mike Russell has written to local councils asking them to keep schools open where they can. He also suggested staff who were unable to make their normal place of work should try and report to their nearest school. \"This flexibility could help keep schools open,\" he said.",

Stadler will be responsible for the maintenance of the 42-train fleet for up to 35 years, and will construct a new maintenance depot. Metro operator Nexus said new trains would be running by 2024 at the latest. The value of the contract is expected to rise to about £700m when the costs of decommissioning Metro's existing fleet from the 1980s is taken into account. The decision to rule out Hitachi was described as \"madness\" at the time by Tees Valley mayor Ben Houchen, who said it would put up to 250 jobs at risk. Hitachi's plant in Newton Aycliffe, which employs 700 people, built the East Coast Mainline's new Azuma trains. In January Hitachi confirmed up to 250 redundancies, but said it could rehire staff if demand for its trains increased. Responding to the news that Stadler had won the contract, Mr Houchen said: \"This is an absolutely disgraceful decision from Nexus.\" Martin Gannon, leader of Gateshead Council and chair of the North East Joint Transport Committee, said: \"We have worked within the legal constraints. \"We have to ensure openness and transparency and fairness. We advertised to the world and asked people to bid. \"We have to be fair to everyone, Hitachi included.\" Stadler's director of sales, Ansgar Brockmeyer, said: \"The contract with Nexus represents an important milestone for Stadler in Great Britain. \"After Glasgow and Liverpool, this is the third metro operator to opt for a Stadler vehicle.\" The Swiss company has a factory in Liverpool and is building a new Merseyrail fleet. However, trains for the Tyne and Wear Metro will be being built in St Margrethen in north east Switzerland. Nexus said more than 30 UK firms would supply parts for the new trains - half of them in the North East. Managing director Tobyn Hughes said: \"Stadler will put in place new supply chains here in North East England and the UK securing local jobs. \"We asked for the best trains for the best price. Stadler has delivered on all fronts.\" The new trains will have air conditioning, Tube-style linear seating to increase capacity, wider doors and aisles, wifi connectivity and charging points.",

The KFCB banned Rafiki - \"friend\" in Swahili - due to its lesbian storyline. Kahiu said she was \"disappointed\" by the decision, despite it drawing international attention to her film. Set in Nairobi, Rafiki tells the coming-of-age story of two young women, Kena and Ziki, who meet and fall in love. Their romance unfolds against a backdrop of homophobia and intolerance in a country where homosexuality is outlawed. The film is based on Jambula Tree, a prize-winning short story by Ugandan writer Monica Arac de Nyeko. Speaking on Friday at the Cannes Film Festival, Kahiu said the ban had ultimately been counterproductive. \"Censorship actually brings more attention to a project than anything else,\" she told the BBC. \"But this film was made by Kenyans for Kenyans. No-one else will understand the nuances, the language, the landscape and the behaviour as much as Kenyans will. \"So while the ban has brought extra support and publicity, I would take a Kenyan audience watching the film over that.\" 'Hiding in the shadows' The High Court in Kenya is due to announce a judgement this year on whether it will remove sections of its penal code that criminalise homosexuality. \"Carnal knowledge against the order of nature\" can currently bring a sentence of up to 14 years in jail. More from Cannes: \"So many people hide in the shadows because it is illegal for them to exist as they are,\" said Sheila Munyiva, who plays Ziki in the film. \"The script made me feel incredibly privileged and I knew I had to tell this story.\" Rafiki, which has yet to get a UK release date, played in Cannes this week as part of the festival's Un Certain Regard sidebar.

            "input": "As head of jihadist group Ansar Dine's moral \"accountability\" enforcers, known as the the Hisbah, Ahmad al-Faqi al-Mahdi led the destruction of key shrines in 2012. These included the 16th Century mausoleum of Sidi Mahmoud, who was the rector of Timbuktu's world-famous Sankore University, and the shrine of Sidi Ahmed ar-Raqqad, who wrote a book on traditional pharmacology in the 17th Century and is credited with conjuring a spring that flowed until 1948. Also destroyed was the door of the 15th Century mosque of Sidi Yahia, who is described as the patron saint of the town. According to local belief, the opening of the mosque door would herald the end of the world. In destroying these sacred places, the jihadists were launching an assault on the Sufi-influenced form of Islam practised in Timbuktu. Ould Elhadje, a historian of Timbuktu, says that the Malian identity comes from faith in Islam and the the country's \"great sages\". The shrines where these sages are buried provide a link between Timbuktu's - and Mali's - past and present. As Sidi Maiga, a local resident, explains: \"We are proud that Timbuktu was founded by Muslims. It has never been a pagan city and our monuments are Muslim ones.\" Local pride in the city's heritage made the actions of Ansar Dine all the harder to endure, and is one reason why many in Timbuktu are keen to see justice delivered. \"Wherever they came from,\" says Mr Elhadje, \"the jihadists were imposing Islam from outside the community, and this is against the Sharia.\" Mr al-Mahdi is the first individual to be charged at the ICC with \"damaging mankind's cultural heritage\". His trial represents a significant benchmark, and a prototype for future prosecutions. It could be applied to those accused of destroying Palmyra in Syria or Nineveh in Iraq. The Malian conflict illuminated and exacerbated long-standing ethnic tensions, and it is in this respect that Mr al-Mahdi's background is revealing. As a Tuareg, he belongs to the ethnic group credited with pushing for greater development in northern Mali, but blamed for spearheading the Malian crisis. Although he graduated as a teacher in Timbuktu, he was born in the village of Agouni, 97km (60 miles) west of the city. According to Niamoyu Toure, a nurse who worked in the village \"many bandits came and some of the people joined the jihadists\". Emad Elhadje, who worked at Agouni's school, explains: \"People had nothing, and they were suffering very badly. I saw three of my students, in the back of a pick-up truck. They were wearing jihadist uniforms and carrying guns. They said it was necessity. \"There was no trade between the village and the desert, and the jihadists were offering 150,000 CFA ($260, £200) every month to anyone who became a soldier.\" Mali timeline January 2012: Tuareg rebellion in northern Mali begins March 2012: Military overthrows president over his handling of the rebellion June 2012: Jihadist groups seize most of northern Mali from the Tuaregs January 2013: French troops help recapture key towns in the north August 2013: UN force takes over to insure security in the north This is the environment from which Mr al-Mahdi emerged: Pastoral communities drained by drought, corruption and political marginalisation, goaded by the prospect of empowerment. Many took other paths, travelling to more secluded parts of the desert, or joined the 350,000 people displaced by the conflict, gathering in refugee camps across the region. Some, like Mr al-Mahdi, aligned themselves with the jihadists. Traditional affiliations tend to guide local responses to the trial. While some residents are happy to see a measure of justice for the destruction of the shrines, others are asking why those responsible for other crimes, especially acts of violence against women and minors, have not been held accountable. Every resident can tell stories of violence experienced or witnessed: From Hady, a student, whipped for talking to her boyfriend in the street, to Abdullah, a tour guide, who lived behind a bank in the centre of town, which was turned into a correctional facility. \"Every night,\" he recalls, \"I could hear screams coming from there.\" A restoration process is gradually restoring what was destroyed. Consulting old photographs and using the testimony of elders, and with the support of the UN's cultural organisation, Unesco, about 100 local craftsmen have already reconstructed many of the shrines, using traditional materials. With remarkable timing, just a few days before the verdict against Mr al-Mahdi was due to be delivered, on 19 September local dignitaries gathered alongside townspeople to inaugurate the restored gate of the Sidi Yahia Mosque, in what Unesco chief Irina Bokova called \"a new and decisive step in Mali's reconstruction and peace building work\". \"People are happy,\" says local resident Sidi Maiga, \"because it is a return of their identity\". Timbuktu is defined by its shrines, and destroying them was a blow against the town's identity. For many residents, the restoration programme is a victory against the jihadists who are still at large in parts of northern Mali. Nicholas Jubber is the author of The Timbuktu School for Nomads",

            "input": "For someone with a supposedly backroom role, Mr Cummings has achieved remarkable prominence, and indeed notoriety. His lockdown trip to County Durham became the stuff of social media legend, dominating the tabloid front pages and the national conversation for days. It also succeeded in putting the historic market town of Barnard Castle on the map. Mr Cummings revealed he had visited the town, with his family, to test his ability to drive back to London, after experiencing loss of vision due to coronavirus. This explanation - which launched a thousand memes - came during an unprecedented press conference in the Downing Street garden to explain the reasons why he chose to travel to his parents' County Durham farm in March - at a time when he believed both he and his wife were about to be laid low with coronavirus - in order to guarantee his four-year-old son's safety. \"I don't regret what I did,\" he told journalists. \"The situation I was in was exceptional circumstances. I think I behaved reasonably.\" Boris Johnson stood by his adviser throughout this episode - to the consternation of some of his supporters, who feared it was undermining his attempts to hold the country together in the face of arguably one of the biggest peacetime threats it has faced. Not to mention burning through the political capital, and goodwill, he had generated months earlier at a triumphant general election. But it is hard to overstate how important Mr Cummings was to the Johnson project. Ruthless strategist The two are very different characters - Mr Johnson likes to be popular, Mr Cummings appears indifferent to such concerns - but they formed a strong bond in the white heat of the 2016 Vote Leave campaign to get Britain out of the EU. The combination of Mr Johnson, the flamboyant household-name frontman, with Mr Cummings, the ruthless, data-driven strategist, with a flair for an eye-catching slogan, proved to be unbeatable. Mr Cummings was credited with the \"take back control\" slogan that appears to have struck a chord with so many referendum voters, changing the course of British history. It still surprised some when Mr Cummings was brought into the heart of government as Mr Johnson's chief adviser, when he became PM, given his past record of rubbing senior Tory politicians up the wrong way. But it proved to be a shrewd move. It was Mr Cummings who devised the high-risk strategy of pushing for an election last year to be fought on a \"Get Brexit Done\" ticket, focusing on winning seats in Labour heartlands, something no previous Tory leader had managed to do in decades. 'Levelling-up' Many of the policy ideas that have shaped the Johnson government's agenda have his fingerprints all over them. \"Levelling up\" - moving power and money out of London and the South East of England - is a Cummings project, as are plans to shake-up the civil service, take on the judiciary and reform the planning system. The team around Mr Cummings at Downing Street, some of whom are Vote Leave veterans, are fiercely loyal to him and share with him a sense that they are outsiders in Whitehall battling an entrenched \"elite\". There have been tales of crackdowns on special advisers suspected of leaking to the media and angry, dismissive behaviour towards Tory MPs, civil servants and even secretaries of state. But the \"Vote Leave gang\", as they are disparagingly referred to by their enemies, have seen their power curtailed dramatically in recent days, amid battles with those around the PM who don't like their abrasive, confrontational style. The departure of Mr Cummings' Vote Leave ally, director of communications Lee Cain, led to rumours that he too would be heading for the exit. He denied them, but said his \"position hadn't changed\" since he suggested he would complete his government work by the end of 2020. But he has now left his role after a conversation with Mr Johnson. None of this will have come as much of a surprise to veteran Cummings watchers. 'Weirdos and misfits' He has been in and around the upper reaches of government and the Conservative Party for nearly two decades, and has made a career out of defying conventional wisdom and challenging the established order. He has never been a member of the Conservative Party and has little time for what he sees as some of the time-servers and publicity addicts that populate the Commons benches. A longstanding Eurosceptic who cut his campaigning teeth as a director of the anti-euro Business for Sterling group, Mr Cummings's other passion is changing the way government operates. He grabbed headlines when he posted an advert on his personal blog for \"weirdos and misfits with odd skills\" to work in government. The career civil servants and \"public school bluffers\" in Whitehall are singularly ill-equipped to take decisions about complex issues, he has argued at great length on his blog. Instead, he believes, mathematicians and data scientists should be given a far bigger role - and he has made an effort to educate himself in these fields. As the world now knows, Mr Cummings is a native of Durham, in the North East of England. His father, Robert, was an oil rig engineer and his mother, Morag, a teacher and behavioural specialist. He went to a state primary school and was then privately educated at Durham School. He graduated from Oxford University with a first-class degree in modern history and spent some time in Russia, where he was involved with an ill-fated attempt to launch an airline, among other projects. After a stint as campaign director for Business for Sterling, he spent eight months as chief strategy adviser to then Conservative leader Iain Duncan Smith. He played a key role in the 2004 campaign against an elected regional assembly in his native North East. 'Career psychopath' In what turned out to be a dry run for the Brexit campaign, the North East Says No team won the referendum with a mix of eye-catching stunts - including an inflatable white elephant - and snappy slogans that tapped into the growing anti-politics mood among the public. He is then said to have retreated to his father's farm, in County Durham, where he spent his time reading science and history books in an effort to attain a better understanding of the world. He re-emerged in 2007 as a special adviser to Michael Gove, who became education secretary from 2010 and turned out to be something of a kindred spirit. The pair would rail against what they called \"the blob\" - the informal alliance of senior civil servants and teachers' unions that sought, in their opinion, to frustrate their attempts at reform. He left of his own accord to set up a free school, having alienated a number of senior people in the ministry and the Conservative Party. He once described Brexit Secretary David Davis as \"thick as mince\" and as \"lazy as a toad\" and irritated David Cameron, the then prime minister, who called him a \"career psychopath\". His appointment as head of the Vote Leave campaign - dramatised last year in Channel 4 drama Brexit: The Uncivil War - was seen as a risk worth taking by those putting the campaign together but he left a controversial legacy. Vote Leave was found to have broken electoral law over spending limits by the Electoral Commission and Mr Cummings was held in contempt of Parliament for failing to respond to a summons to appear before and give evidence to the Culture, Media and Sport Select Committee. On the few occasions he has been scrutinised by MPs, there have often been rhetorical fireworks and bad blood on both sides. He has given few clues as to what he will do after quitting his Downing Street role, but it seems unlikely that we have heard the last of him.",

Both Rivers and Melissa, her only child, have appeared together in reality TV show Joan & Melissa: Joan Knows Best? She didn't just fire her barbs at others, however. She was always prepared to joke about herself, and in particular her plastic surgery. In 2010, she tweeted a joke about her death, saying: With all the plastic surgery I've had I'm worried that when I die, God won't recognise me! Shortly after her death was announced, tributes poured in from the world of entertainment. US talk show host David Letterman called Rivers \"a real pioneer for other women looking for careers in stand-up comedy\". He recalled her guest spots on his show, saying: \"She would come out here and sit in this chair and say some things that were unbelievable. \"But it was hilarious… the force of her comedy was overpowering,\" he added. On his show, Jimmy Fallon said: \"We loved her. We will definitely miss her,\" while veteran TV interviewer Larry King said: \"We will never see her like again.\" Comedian and actress Whoopi Goldberg tweeted: \"My friend Joan Rivers has passed away once again to quote Billy Crystal... There are no words. Bon Voyage Joan.\" TV show host Ellen DeGeneres also described Rivers as a pioneer, adding: \"She paved the way for a lot of comedians. I'm very sad she's gone.\" Lena Dunham, writer and star of sitcom Girls, said: \"Watching Joan Rivers do stand-up at age 81 was incredible: athletic, jaw-dropping, terrifying, essential. It never stopped. Neither will she.\" Comedian Sarah Silverman said: \"My heart is torn in half. She wasn't done.\" Kelly Osbourne, who appeared with Rivers on her TV show Fashion Police, said she was \"my teacher, therapist, closest friend, inspiration and the only grandmother I ever knew.\" The Prince of Wales also paid tribute to Rivers, who attended his wedding to the Duchess of Cornwall in 2005 and performed at a gala for the Prince's Trust on his 60th birthday. \"Joan Rivers was an extraordinary woman with an original and indefatigable spirit, an unstoppable sense of humour and an enormous zest for life. She will be hugely missed and utterly irreplaceable,\" he said. Controversial She was born Joan Alexandra Molinsky in Brooklyn, New York, to a family of Jewish immigrants who had fled the Russian Revolution. Her big break came in 1965 when she appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson, and a long television career followed. However, her mentor Carson never spoke to her again after she landed her own, short-lived late-night talk show on Fox. Her stand-up act took no prisoners and her comments often proved controversial. Following the 2013 Academy Awards, at which British singer Adele performed her Oscar-winning Bond theme Skyfall, Rivers joked about the singer's weight on The Late Show with David Letterman. \"She was very scared because she was singing at the awards,\" said Rivers. \"She kept saying, 'My throat, my throat - I don't know if I can swallow.' And I said, 'Oh, yeah! You can swallow.'\" Last month, she was criticised for a rant on the Israeli-Gaza crisis, after suggesting to a TMZ reporter that the Palestinians were to blame for the conflict. Her first marriage lasted only six months but her second with Edgar Rosenberg spanned more than two decades until his suicide in 1987.",

The Irish opposition Fianna Fail party said it was \"extraordinary\" to suggest the two borders were the same, while the SDLP said: \"Trivialising the very serious concerns relating to Ireland displays a dangerous ignorance that must be challenged.\" The future of the Irish border after Brexit has been a key sticking point in talks so far. The UK plans to leave the EU's customs union but wants to avoid border posts and physical checks between Northern Ireland and the Republic. Mr Johnson, a former London mayor, told BBC Radio 4's Today programme there were \"all sorts of things you can do\" to achieve this. \"We think that we can have very efficient facilitation systems to make sure that there's no need for a hard border, excessive checks at the frontier between Northern Ireland and the Republic,\" he said. \"There's no border between Islington or Camden and Westminster... but when I was mayor of London we anaesthetically and invisibly took hundreds of millions of pounds from the accounts of people travelling between those two boroughs without any need for border checks whatever.\" He added: \"It's a very relevant comparison because there's all sorts of scope for pre-booking, electronic checks, all sorts of things that you can do to obviate the need for a hard border to allow us to come out of the customs union, take back control of our trade policy and do trade deals.\" 'Not a technical solution' Analysis by the BBC's Mark Devenport How literally should we take the Foreign Secretary's analogy? The collection of the London congestion charge relies on a network of automatic number plate recognition cameras which identifies motorists moving around the city. However back in August last year, when the UK released a position paper on Northern Ireland after Brexit, government officials briefed journalists that a pledge to \"avoid any physical border infrastructure in either the United Kingdom or Ireland, for any purpose (including customs or agri-food checks)\" effectively ruled out plans for the installation of cameras near the border, or set back from it. Instead the clear suggestion was that any technological fix would be more likely to involve firms becoming \"authorised economic operators\" and filling out customs forms from the comfort of the desks in their office HQs. The BBC has asked for clarification of whether government policy has shifted on this point. But in the absence of a more detailed response we may note that Downing Street has told lobby correspondents that Mr Johnson \"was not offering a technical solution\" to the border issue. Instead, the prime minister's spokesman clarified, \"the foreign secretary was making a comparison to demonstrate our overall approach that the 110 million people crossing the border will continue living their lives as before, travelling freely just as Londoners cross boroughs every day\". That defence is not likely to appease Mr Johnson's critics, but it seems fair to say he was trying to get out of a tight spot during a wide ranging Today programme interview, rather than seeking to unveil a wholly new approach to the one set out in last year's position paper. Labour's shadow Northern Ireland secretary Owen Smith dismissed the comments as \"ludicrous\". And he accused Mr Johnson of \"glibly dismissing the concerns of thousand of families and businesses who live and work along the border\", adding that his remark \"insults the intelligence of all who are worrying about how to resolve the border question after Brexit\". Irish MEP Mairead McGuinness, vice president of the European Parliament, also questioned the analogy. \"The UK is a different country than the Republic of Ireland ... and therefore the comparison doesn't quite fit,\" she told BBC2's Daily Politics. The foreign secretary's comments have also sparked a wave of reaction on Twitter: But former Conservative leader Iain Duncan Smith backed Mr Johnson. \"What Boris was saying was there are various ways in which you can manage things, like money transfers, checks on cars, checks on lorries - the technology now exists and is being used and is being developed around the world,\" he told BBC Radio 4's The World at One. And DUP MP Sammy Wilson said a virtual border already exists. \"There's a different tax regime in Northern Ireland than the Irish Republic - VAT, excise duty is different - yet billions of pounds worth of goods cross that border, taxes are paid and not a lorry is stopped to check the goods because through virtual methods, through IT, through electronic invoicing, those taxes are collected by both the Irish government and the British government,\" he said. The first draft of a legally-binding agreement between the UK and the EU, due to be published on Wednesday, is expected to address the issue of Northern Ireland. The Dublin government says the option of Northern Ireland staying in full regulatory alignment with the European Union after Brexit should be included as a \"backstop\" - but this is opposed by some Conservative MPs and the Democratic Unionist Party. Meanwhile former World Trade Organisation chief Pascal Lamy argued that whatever Brexit option was chosen \"will necessitate a border\" between Northern Ireland and the Republic, because checks will have to be carried out on goods and people. Instead he suggested to the Commons Brexit committee a \"Macau option\" for Northern Ireland. \"You should think about giving to Northern Ireland the same autonomous trade capacity that China has given to Macau, which doesn't mean that Macau doesn't belong to China,\" he said.",

It said the move to \"reconfigure\" the plant was in response to a global decline in demand for fuels. The company added that the smaller operation would allow it to retain 450 highly skilled roles at the site. Under the plans, a crude distillation unit and fluidised catalytic cracker unit, which have been mothballed since the start of the Covid pandemic, will remain closed. 'Critical infrastructure' In a statement, Petroineos said keeping the two production units in a mothballed state would \"reduce future incurred costs associated with operating these two older plants\". It added that the proposals would align its \"refining capacity to meet local demand in Scotland, Northern England and Northern Ireland\". Petroineos Refining chief executive Franck Demay said: \"As a national critical infrastructure it is vital we retain a productive capacity of fuels in Scotland. \"For almost a century the Grangemouth refinery has reliably produced high quality fuels for the domestic market and for export. \"We firmly believe that only by taking action now will we preserve one of Scotland's last large manufacturing sites and a significant contributor to the Scottish economy.\" We're commuting less, told not to travel outside council areas, and few of us are flying anywhere, so instead of cracking crude oil at 300 degrees Celsius, it's no wonder that Grangemouth refinery is feeling the chill of the pandemic crisis. Two of its older plants, first operating in 1949 and 1952, have been mothballed through the crisis, and are now being shut permanently. Whereas it was processing 200,000 barrels of crude oil each day, that has been halved. This cut in staff by nearly 30% comes with a cut in capacity to 150,000 barrels. That signals that this is not a short-term reaction to the pandemic crisis, but an acceleration of a trend that was coming anyway, adapting to lower demand for oil. With road transport shifting to batteries, trains being electrified, more efficient aircraft, and big hopes for hydrogen fuel cells, that all has an impact on places like Grangemouth refinery. And with global over-capacity in refining, it is tough to compete with newer, more efficient plants. So instead of being a big exporter from Scotland, the intention is to produce enough for only Scotland, the north of England and Northern Ireland. The impact on Scotland's trade figures will be significant. These jobs losses, then, come as a sign that public policy is working. To reduce greenhouse gas emissions, we are burning less oil. The industrial complex that has long been pivotal to the Scottish economy is sending a signal of the old oil economy winding down. To be truly successful, public policy would also ensure a transition to jobs in green energy. But in manufacturing terms, there's not much sign of that happening. 'Vaccine within grasp' Sandy Smart, Unite's industrial officer, said the union was \"deeply concerned\" by the news. \"We are acutely aware of the very challenging market conditions brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic that has resulted in a lower demand of fuels but there is now a vaccine within grasp which could significantly effect demand in the coming months,\" he said. \"We firmly believe the proposal is premature and that Petroineos should instead be discussing with us how to effectively use the extension in the UK government's furlough scheme to give us more time to explore every option. \"The workforce also needs assurances from the company over the medium and long-term security of the plant.\" 'Devastating news' Infrastructure Secretary Michael Matheson said it was important that Grangemouth had \"a sustainable future\". He said: \"This announcement will be devastating news for those affected and their families at what is already an anxious time. \"The Scottish government will do everything it can to support those whose jobs are at risk of redundancy at Grangemouth and we will provide support through our Partnership Action for Continuing Employment (PACE) initiative.\" Petroineos is a 50:50 joint venture between Ineos and Chinese state oil company PetroChina. The Grangemouth refinery is one of just six crude oil refineries in the UK and the only one in Scotland. It sources its raw materials from North Sea oil fields, imported via the Forties Pipeline System, and from elsewhere around the world.",

The analysis focused on the North West, North East, Yorkshire and Humberside. Outlining the region's potential, it noted the economy was worth £289bn. \"If it were a national economy, the north of England would rank as the tenth largest in the EU,\" it asserted. 'One north, one economy' The Treasury claimed the strategy was \"not about how much money is spent but about giving local leaders more power.\" The IPPR report was published more than a year after Chancellor George Osborne visited Manchester's Museum of Science and Industry and announced the country's need for a \"Northern Powerhouse\". Called Rhetoric to Reality: A business agenda for the Northern Powerhouse, the study suggested the northern economy could see economic growth on a scale \"not seen since the Victorian era of grand municipal development\". But it said three changes were required in order for its potential to be realised: Commitments to transport spending and devolution were the \"key ingredients\" for turning \"northern powerhouse rhetoric\" into reality, the report claimed. It said a \"rebalanced economy\" could only be achieved through tackling \"lagging\" productivity, under-investment in transport, poor connectivity between cities and low qualifications and skills levels. 'Only the beginning' The study identified several \"key drivers\" of growth, including infrastructure and connectivity, innovation, business support, leadership and policy development. It argued: \"There is an urgent need (for) more detail and more action to support the pan-northern vision, to ensure business, public and civil sectors are galvanised to act now to sustain the momentum behind devolution and take advantage of this unprecedented window of opportunity.\" Ed Cox, director of IPPR North and co-author of the report, said: \"The historical economic under-performance of the north of England is not natural, nor is it inevitable. \"The opportunity is there to be seized for northern prosperity to create national prosperity.\" A government spokesperson said: \"The chancellor has been determined to challenge the lazy, decades-old acceptance that decline in the north was inevitable. Mr Osborne had already invested £13bn in transport and agreed \"a ground-breaking devolution deal with Greater Manchester,\" he added. The spokesperson continued: \"We are already making significant progress. This is only the beginning. \"The IPPR rightly identifies the massive opportunities in the North but this is not just about how much money is spent - it is also about giving local leaders more power and for communities to be bold enough to come forward and take them.\"",

Now the price is 400 yuan. \"Prices of everything are high, so people want to spend less, or use the car service less frequently. It's the only way I can compete,\" he says. He feels squeezed. He is from Henan province in central China, and he finds Guangdong very expensive. The government raised the price of the kind of petrol he uses by 30 fen (5 US cents) a couple of months ago. It now costs about seven yuan a litre. \"They've cancelled the road tax because they're getting so much more tax from the petrol,\" Liu Shui Hua says. \"But it doesn't make much difference, the cost of living is going sky high.\" Controlling prices China's Premier Wen Jiabao told the annual meeting of the National People's Congress, the country's parliament, this week that maintaining price stability was a top priority in 2011. Despite this, all week the stock markets in China have been buoyant, partly because the Premier stressed \"stability, continuity, flexibility and effectiveness\" rather than signalling a further tightening of monetary policy. Chinese officials like to remind people that under the country's price laws they have the authority to intervene wherever and whenever they feel the need to try to control inflation. But Shanghai-based economist Andy Rothman of CLSA capital markets argues that they talk the talk but don't actually walk the walk. \"Back in 2008 when food prices were rising about twice as fast as they are at present, they capped the price of cooking oil and the price of milk for three months,\" he says. \"Right now as far as I'm aware the only food item whose price is being controlled is cooking oil - and that measure has only been in place for three months.\" Food prices helped drive up inflation in November to 5.1% - a 28-month high, but one that was largely due to a period of bad weather. The weather cleared up, the growing season for many vegetables was not so long, transport problems were eliminated, and prices have started to stabilise again. \"This was nothing to do with price controls,\" says Mr Rothman. \"The only place where the government controls the prices the consumer pays are petrol and the bills for utilities like electricity or gas.\" \"The government has been allowing those bills to rise, so that's a good indication that it's not panicked about inflation.\" Raising income levels Beijing says it wants its people to earn more, to help ease the burden of rising prices. IHS Global Insight analyst Xiangfang Ren points out the country's new \"Five Year Plan\" sets a target of 7% for urban and rural household income growth, pretty much the same as the target for economic growth (GDP). The income growth target under the previous Five Year Plan was much more modest than the GDP target. \"Some 29 Chinese provinces have announced a similar goal of achieving household income growth that is either roughly the same or faster than GDP growth in the next five years,\" Mr Rothman notes. \"Despite only three provinces managing to do that under the last plan.\" We won't know for several years, though, whether or not that is achievable. Changing policy Inflation is the result of high demand for goods such as food, as well as caused by rising costs. Lee Yong, a professor at the School of Economics and Finance at Tong Ji University in Shanghai, points out there are limits to what China can do to control the latter. \"China has little control over the costs of commodities from abroad, such as aw materials or petrol,\" he says. What it can change is its industrial structure, which the professor calls \"a long-term problem that will take time to solve\". Many critics of China's industrial policy point to an over-reliance on investment in infrastructure to maintain economic growth. This week the government announced plans to build or renovate 10 million units of affordable housing this year and again in 2012, part of a 36-million unit programme over five years. They hope it will ease pressure on property prices, but by increasing demand for raw materials and labour it could fuel inflation too.",

But the BBC has been told the donor did not withdraw their donation, which was pledged to match a government grant. The charity closed after ministers said they wanted to recover their grant. Ms Batmanghelidjh has blamed \"rumour-mongering civil servants\", ministers and the media for the closure. Trustees of the charity said on Wednesday it had closed because of a lack of funding. 'Gobsmacked' The Cabinet Office said it was making plans to recover the grant because it believed the conditions attached to the use of the money had not been met. But Ms Batmanghelidjh told BBC Radio 4's The Report that she was \"gobsmacked\" by the way its dealings with the government were being portrayed. She said \"huge discussions\" had taken place with the Cabinet Office before Kids Company decided to use part of the £3m grant - believed to be £800,000 - to help pay its monthly wage bill. \"There's an email from our interim restructuring finance director to the Cabinet Office saying 'Where is this money, otherwise we can't pay the staff salaries?',\" Ms Batmanghelidjh said. \"And there's no email coming back from the Cabinet Office saying this money is not for staff salaries.\" Ms Batmanghelidjh said the philanthropist who offered £3m - an individual whose identity the BBC does not know - had panicked and withdrawn it after hearing of the police investigation. But the BBC has since been told that the donor at no point withdrew the offer and remained ready to stand by the charity after news of the police investigation was disclosed. It is also understood the trustees of Kids Company felt it would be wrong to accept any further funds considering the serious issues facing the charity. The investigation by the Metropolitan Police's sexual offences, exploitation and child abuse command involves serious allegations that details of incidents involving young people who used the charity were not passed to police. The charity said it always met its obligations to report crimes. Who is Camila Batmanghelidjh? Camila Batmanghelidjh was born into a wealthy family in Iran. She arrived in England aged 12 and started at the private Sherborne Girls school, in Dorset, speaking little English Camila Batmanghelidjh profile Q&A: What we know about Kids Company Ministers had agreed to give Kids Company its grant on the condition that Ms Batmanghelidjh stepped down as part of the reorganisation, which would have seen her take up a new advocacy and clinical role. Ms Batmanghelidjh told the BBC the philanthropist had refused to make the donation until the government grant had been paid \"because otherwise it wouldn't have been viable\". She added that within 20 minutes of the government money being transferred, \"the police call out of the blue to say that there's been allegations of sexual abuse related to Kids Company\". \"Within the hour this is all over the news that Kids Company is being investigated... the minute the philanthropist discovers that this is on the cards - they freak and then they don't put their money in, so then the deal breaks down.\" Kids Company said its 11 street level centres in London and Bristol and an outreach project in Liverpool, all working with disadvantaged children, would be closing, and its work with more than 40 schools in London and Bristol would end. It employs 650 staff and has received £37m in government grants since 2005. 'Disappointed' Kathy Evans, chief executive of Children England, which represents charities working with children, said it was the \"norm\" for many charities in England to be under \"very serious financial pressure\". She said local authorities and other charities were having to pick up the work done by charities that had closed. \"Local authorities have been cut year on year on year without anyone saying this is cutting child protection, cutting services for the most vulnerable,\" she added. The Cabinet Office said: \"The government has supported Kids Company... to help it deliver services for vulnerable young people and so we are disappointed it has been unable to move to a sustainable financial position. \"The welfare of these young people continues to be our primary concern and we are now working closely with local authorities to make sure they have access to the services they require.\" After police announced their investigation on 30 July, Kids Company said its \"first priority is the safety and security of all the children, young people and adults we support and protect\". It added: \"The organisation operates robust policies and procedures that ensure all Kids Company's clients are protected and that staff work safely with clients at all times.\" In a letter in The Times, the NSPCC said young people who had turned to Kids Company would feel they had been \"left to fend for themselves\" unless the focus turned to helping them. The charity's chief executive, Peter Wanless, said: \"Regardless of everything else, the priority for everyone now must be the welfare of these children and making sure that they are not forgotten.\" You can hear the interview with Ms Batmanghelidjh on Radio 4's The Report at 20:00 BST on Thursday.

He backed the promotion of \"British values\" in the classroom amid claims conservative Muslim governors had tried to influence some Birmingham schools. This should include teaching children about Magna Carta, Mr Cameron said. Mr Cameron wrote that in recent years, the UK had sent out a \"worrying\" message: \"That if you don't want to believe in democracy, that's fine; that if equality isn't your bag, don't worry about it; that if you're completely intolerant of others, we will still tolerate you. \"This has not just led to division, it has also allowed extremism - of both the violent and non-violent kind - to flourish.\" 'Social responsibility' Education Secretary Michael Gove has promised \"decisive action\" after Ofsted inspectors said that in several schools in Birmingham, the governors had wielded \"inappropriate influence\". Its report followed claims they had sought to influence the ethos and curriculum of schools in the city. Culture Secretary Sajid Javid warned even a small number of people wielding their influence could have a \"great impact\". \"It's always a small minority that spoils it for everyone and although it's a small number they can have a great impact,\" he told the BBC's Andrew Marr Show. \"That's what we've seen in these schools - that's what we're potentially seeing with British people going over to fight in Syria, which I think is unacceptable.\" Mr Javid said he supported the prime minister's plans to take \"a more muscular attitude\" to promoting British values in schools. But he added that the \"vast majority\" of British Muslims were important parts of the community who played the same roles as others and had tolerance and respect for British values. In the wake of Ofsted's findings, Mr Cameron said \"British values\" included: \"A belief in freedom, tolerance of others, accepting personal and social responsibility, respecting and upholding the rule of law.\" These were \"as British as the Union Flag, as football, as fish and chips,\" he wrote in the newspaper article. The Muslim Council of Britain said it had \"deep concern at the tone and tenor over the debate on British values\". In a motion passed at its AGM, the MCB said it had \"no objection to British values\" and believed in a \"tolerant, more free and more equal society\". But it said it wanted a \"real debate that does not regard us as conditional Britons.... It is not Islam or Muslims that stand in the way of full participation; It is the active and vociferous campaign to exclude Muslims from the public space.\" 'Way to democracy' In 2015 it will be 800 years since King John put his seal on the Magna Carta, the document which first established the king was subject to the law. Mr Cameron said he wanted all pupils to take lessons on the charter to mark the anniversary. \"The remaining copies... may have faded,\" he wrote. \"But its principles shine as brightly as ever, and they paved the way for the democracy, the equality, the respect and the laws that make Britain, Britain.\" Mr Cameron said he also wanted \"towns to commemorate it [and] for events to celebrate it.\"",

            "input": "By Vanessa BarfordBBC News Magazine For many flood victims, it's when the water goes down that people hit rock bottom. \"All the initial bonhomie and community cohesion goes and people are confronted with the harsh reality that their home has been badly flooded,\" says Mary Dhonau, who became a flood consultant after her home was flooded in 2000. It's also when the \"real work starts\", she says. For those that are insured, there's a process which is \"project managed\" by a loss adjuster, according to Graeme Trudgill, executive director of the British Insurance Brokers' Association. For those that aren't, they will still follow a similar process, but might manage it themselves. A loss adjuster will assess the damage, arrange alternative accommodation for flood victims when necessary, and plan the restoration process. \"They'll look at what needs repairing and replacing - it might be skirting boards, plastering - get the gas and electricity supplies checked. Then the next step will be to remove the silt and debris, strip it out, disinfect the affected areas and dry the property out,\" says Trudgill. Tradesmen such as electricians, plumbers, builders and cleaning experts will be appointed for different tasks. Trudgill says the drying out is often the most time-consuming part of the process because some moisture can be deep-seated. \"Specialists use drying machines, but it can take weeks or months to extract. If you redecorate too soon, mould can come through,\" he says. When the property is finally dry, reconstruction work can begin. Property owners often try and make their home more resistant to future flooding. Hard floors might replace carpets. A wooden skirting board could be replaced with a plastic board or aluminium might be opted for when installing a new kitchen unit. The Association of British Insurers outlines what people can expect from their insurer after a flood. But what are the essential things to consider when restoring a flood-hit house? 1. Walls Traditional brick or concrete walls will generally dry out well so long as they are clear for ventilation. However consultant builder Simon Knight, from Milton Keynes, says the drying out process can take months. Property owners are advised to keep an eye out for cracks in the walls. And brickwork can still contain moisture even after that. \"Bricks can expand and crumble. Or expand and contract. If we get frost over the next few weeks there will probably be a lot of problems with that,\" he says. Wall cavities need to be inspected by an expert to ensure walls are secure and any damaged wall-cavity insulation will also need to be removed. When it comes to internal walls, damaged plaster, plasterboard and wallpaper will have to go. Holes might also need to be drilled through plasterboards or dry linings to drain trapped water and aid ventilation, according to Knight. Timber partitions may rot if not dried properly. Ireland's Office of Public Works advises people not to redecorate for at least three months after walls have dried and repairs have been done. \"Painting or wallpapering too soon can result in blistering, mould or peeling,\" it says. 2. Wiring Switching on electricity and gas after a flood can be very dangerous, so it's important to get services checked by an expert. Modern wiring can withstand a short period of flooding, but if a property has been flooded for more than a few hours, it will probably need rewiring - downstairs at least. \"My experience of flooding is that if water gets in, it never dries out completely, the plug sockets get saturated and have to be replaced and dampness goes into the cables,\" says Knight. An electrician will also give junction boxes, socket outlets, light switches and ceiling connections a thorough check to ensure there is no water trapped inside them. Of course it's not just water that can cause damage. \"My plug sockets had dried poo inside them,\" says Dhonau of her 2000 flooding. Raw sewage and surface water rose to about 3ft. Her Flood Recovery Guide also advises making sure the gas is checked out as the meter, flues or ventilation systems might be damaged, even if appliances appear to be unaffected. When it comes to rewiring, placing sockets further up a wall can help protect a property from future flood damage. 3. Foundations Knight says it's hard to be sure how solid a property's foundations are after flooding, as some problems may take years to materialise. \"You need to dig trial holes to see what problems are at footing level. There might be movements of soil swelling and contracting,\" he says. There can be subsidence - which causes foundations to \"sink\", and heave - which forces foundations upwards. Subsidence occurs when the ground under a building \"shrinks\" through lack of water, whereas heave occurs when the ground expands because of excess water. \"There is also the possibility of sinkholes,\" says Knight. Signs to watch out for are cracks and general movement in the building, but both can often remain undetected for some time. \"One property I dealt with had subsidence five years after a flood, another six years. I'd say two of the 12 flooded houses I've worked on have had it, so that's nearly 20%,\" he says. Other indicators of structural damage include buckling of walls, bulging or dislodged sections of property and new cracks above windows or doors. 4. Floors When a property's been flooded, floor coverings such as carpets will have to come up. Dhonau advises people to cut off a small piece of carpet and underlay and put them in a plastic bag to show insurers. Tiles will also have to be lifted to check whether water has seeped underneath. Laminate flooring panels are also likely to have swollen and \"sprung\" up from the floor so will need to be removed. It's unlikely that they will be able to relaid, even once they have dried out, according to Dhonau. \"If floor joists show signs of rot they'll also need to be replaced, treating the surrounding area to prevent spread,\" she says. Insulation materials that have become wet should also be removed, disposed of and replaced. For those that are concerned about whether there is moisture in their floor, the best way to test it is to use a meter, according to insurance company Aviva. It says the safe moisture level for softwoods is 18%. 5. Plumbing Mains supply water should not be affected by flooding but it's worth calling the local water company and checking that silt hasn't entered the system and insulation on pipes has not been saturated. Drains and sewers are rarely damaged by floods, but they may become blocked and \"back up\". Of course if a toilet or bathroom has flooded a plumber will probably be needed. 6. Contents Contents insurance should cover things like white goods, kitchen units, fixtures and fittings. But not everything that appears to be broken will be beyond repair. Restoration firms will employ damage control. A wet laptop might not switch on but have salvageable data. A business might have damaged packaging, but the stock might be fine, says Trudgill. Solid wood furniture can often survive a soaking, especially if drawers are removed to accelerate drying. The Flood Recovery Guide suggests if mildew has formed, scrub the wood with four to six tablespoons of baking soda to a gallon of water, before rinsing and allowing to dry. To test if material is dry, it recommends taping clear food wrap to its surface. If the covered section turns darker than the surrounding material, it is still damp. Dhonau says don't dispose of items unless the loss adjuster has agreed to it or it might affect a claim. \"Then use common sense to collect evidence of what they were, such as jotting down the make and serial number of things like televisions, as well as taking photos and videos,\" she says. She also advises people to take a notebook \"absolutely everywhere\". \"Write down who you've talked to, what they said, at what time. At the end of the day, you are project managing a building site, which is also your home,\" she says. Follow @BBCNewsMagazine on Twitter and on Facebook",

But his sole aim in bringing the case had been to seek the truth, he said.

The three owners of El Universo - brothers Carlos, Cesar and Nicolas Perez - and columnist Emilio Palacio were found guilty of libelling the president. They were each given three-year prison terms and had multi-million dollar damages and fines awarded against them. Mr Correa brought the lawsuit after an article in El Universo questioned an army raid to rescue him from a violent protest by striking police officers in September 2010. Carlos Perez is currently sheltering in the Panamanian embassy in the capital, Quito, while the other three are believed to be out of the country. \"I never wanted this trial. I never wanted anyone arrested,\" Mr Correa said. Editorials Human rights and press freedom groups condemned the severity of the sentences imposed on El Universo. But Mr Correa said his battle with Ecuador's private media was a fight for justice. \"They have been talking about a dictatorship and they were right,\" he said. It was the \"dictatorship of the media\". The trial had shown people that they could overcome their fear of a \"corrupt\" press, Mr Correa said.

Unite the union said the move may help address the pay gap between NHS staff in Northern Ireland and Great Britain. But the Department of Health said it was unable to negotiate without an overall public sector pay deal. 'Political failure' Unite has asked to meet the Department of Health's top civil servant, Permanent Secretary Richard Pengelly, to discuss the latest development. The union claimed Northern Ireland healthcare workers are paid \"substantially less\" than staff in Great Britain and have been \"left behind on pay as a result of political failure\". \"As an example, paramedics in Northern Ireland receive a full £8,000 a year less than they get in England, Scotland and Wales,\" said Unite's regional officer, Kevin McAdam. \"That situation has arisen as a direct result of the absence of a functioning, locally-accountable Northern Ireland Executive,\" he added. \"Healthcare workers here have been denied the pay increase that has been agreed and extended to workers in all other parts of the United Kingdom.\" The union has called on Mr Pengelly, to \"open negotiations with the trade unions on pay immediately\". 'Frustration' However, a spokesperson said the Department of Health was \"doing everything they can within existing constraints to make progress on health and social care pay in Northern Ireland - but it is not a straightforward process\". \"We are listening very carefully to the concerns of health and social care workers in Northern Ireland, and understand their frustration,\" the department added. \"However, in the absence of an Executive Pay Policy for 2018/19, we are unable to formally negotiate.\" Public sector pay policy is normally set by Stormont's finance minister, but Northern Ireland's devolved government collapsed in January 2017. Last year, civil servants at the Department of Finance set a pay policy for 2017/18 in the absence of a locally-elected minister. It is hoped the new legislation on civil servants' decision-making will help inform the way forward for the 2018/19 policy.",

The show has run for 14 years, and made global mega-stars of Kim, her siblings, their parents, partners and children. The final season, its 21st, will air in early 2021. Expressing her thanks to the \"thousands of individuals and businesses\" involved in the programme, Kim also added: \"I am so incredibly grateful to everyone who has watched and supported me and my family these past 14 incredible years.\" \"This show made us who we are and I will be forever in debt to everyone who played a role in shaping our careers and changing our lives forever,\" she went on. After news of the show's demise became known, her sister and co-star Khloe Kardashian tweeted: \"The emotions are overflowing today... change is tough but sometimes needed.\" From unknowns to superstars Most of the family were unknown when the show started in 2007. Kim had appeared in some episodes of her friend Paris Hilton's reality show and her attorney father, Robert, was known for defending OJ Simpson at his infamous murder trial. Robert Kardashian died in 2003. Early shows focused on the lives of Kim and her sisters Kourtney and Khloe and their partners, including Kourtney's ex-boyfriend Scott Disick, Kim's ex-husband Kris Humphries and Khloe's ex-husband Lamar Odom. It eventually brought in \"momager\" Kris Jenner, her now ex-husband Caitlyn Jenner - then the only famous figure in the show, as an Olympic gold medal-winning decathlete - and half sisters Kylie and Kendall Jenner. Despite being heavily-panned by critics and accused of making people famous for being famous, the show has enjoyed huge ratings, won awards and been one of E! channel's most successful shows. Kim, 39, has since become one of the world's most celebrated women, with hundreds of millions of social media followers and a thriving beauty business. She married rapper Kanye West in 2014, with whom she has four children and a reputed joint net worth of more than a billion dollars. She recently spoke about her husband's mental health issues following a series of erratic statements from him as he began a run for the US presidency. Kendall and Kylie Jenner were children when the show first began in 2007, but became stars in their own right, and are now - at the ages of 24 and 23 - among the world's most important influencers. In 2019, the latter was named by Forbes magazine as the youngest self-made billionaire of all time thanks to her hugely popular cosmetics business. But in May, the magazine accused her family of inflating the value of her the business, and struck her from its list of billionaires. Game changer or trash TV? A spokesperson for E! said in a statement to CNN: \"While it has been an absolute privilege and we will miss them wholeheartedly, we respect the family's decision to live their lives without our cameras.\" Reacting to the news, actress and singer Kat McPhee posted on Twitter: \"Congrats on a great run guys. Will always be a game changer.\" But one Twitter user called Jennifer said she would be glad to see the back of the famous family. \"That is a miracle,\" she wrote. \"It has been rich trash on television since it started. Some things really should be kept private.\"",

In documents released ahead of an evidence session in parliament on Thursday, bosses denied claims of \"systemic management failure\". They said the school was \"robust and well-managed\" and fit and able to oversee repair of the iconic building. MSPs on the culture committee have heard from architects and other experts but this is the first time those in charge of the art school have had their say. In their written submission, the board members responded to statements from previous sessions - that they failed to engage with experts, were not transparent enough and had been \"monetised\" the building. They confirmed the building was used for events and tours while under the control of the contractors - but insisted all visits were subject to strict safety procedures. An evidence session on 20 September heard of systemic management failures on fire risk. One Mackintosh expert described the Mack building as a \"fire-trap waiting to happen\" while another former employee said everyone knew the building was a risk. Detailed response The board said it wanted to replace speculation with a factual position, and responded to a number of criticisms. Elsewhere, the board said the decision on whether a public inquiry was necessary was a matter for the Scottish government. It recognised, however, that the scale of the rebuild following the 2018 fire was \"significantly different\" to the task it faced four years ago. To that end, the board said \"we are committed to working with our partners across national and local government to define the most appropriate model for the GSA to lead on the rebuild of the Mackintosh building\". In other submission papers, the board said the art school's fire prevention plans had been worked up over many years. It stated: \"It was suggested at the hearing on 20 September 2018 that 'the failure was systemic and that there was a misjudged attitude to risk for such a hazardous and iconic building.' \"It is understood that none of the witnesses are experts in this area. We strongly rebut that allegation. \"We have always taken fire precautions seriously across our whole estate. \"Our decision to commission a water mist fire suppression system to enhance the protection of the Mackintosh building, and the installation of sprinkler systems within the Reid and Stow buildings demonstrates our approach.\"",

Bland was a familiar voice on Radio 5 Live as a newsreader and presenter, and won praise for co-hosting You, Me and the Big C, a podcast about cancer. She has also documented her life with the disease on an award-winning blog. Following the announcement, Rachael's husband Steve said in a statement: \"She was an incredibly talented broadcaster as well as a wonderful and much loved daughter, sister, aunt, niece, wife and, most importantly to her, a mother to her precious little Freddie. \"We all take such huge comfort and pride from the amazing and tireless work she has done since her diagnosis to reduce the stigma around cancer and prove that it is possible to live life to the fullest even when facing huge challenges on a daily basis. At the end, even though her body was at its weakest, her voice was at its strongest and most powerful.\" He describes her as \"perfect in every way\", adding \"we will miss her more than words can say\". Bland's death comes two days after she revealed on Twitter doctors had given her only days left to live. She tweeted: \"In the words of the legendary Frank S - I'm afraid the time has come my friends. And suddenly. \"I'm told I've only got days. It's very surreal. Thank you so much for all the support I've received.\" In August, the Cardiff-born broadcaster said she was writing a memoir to leave for her two-year-old son Freddie as a \"love letter to my beautiful boy\", whose third birthday she missed by just days. She began her BBC career more than 15 years ago as Rachael Hodges and married fellow BBC journalist Steve Bland in 2013. As well as appearing on 5 Live, she worked as a news presenter on the BBC News Channel, BBC World and BBC North West Tonight. She was diagnosed with primary triple-negative breast cancer in November 2016 after finding a lump under her arm. The presenter began chemotherapy just after Christmas that year, had a mastectomy the following July and went into an immunotherapy clinical trial this May, but the cancer had spread too far for her to stay on that treatment. Throughout her illness, she earned admiration for her dignified and positive outlook, and for her efforts to give an honest portrayal of cancer on her podcast - with the tagline \"Putting the CAN in cancer\" - and her blog, titled Big C Little Me. Rachael presented the podcast with fellow cancer sufferers Lauren Mahon and Deborah James. They spoke to celebrity guests and addressed practical matters including hair loss, tips for dealing with finances and telling your nearest and dearest. The podcast reached number one on the iTunes chart on Tuesday - an ambition of Bland's, which her husband tweeted had made her \"very happy\". \"The whole sharing process has been very cathartic,\" Rachael wrote in an online article, published on Tuesday. \"It's been a real support to know that people have found them so helpful through their treatment, but in a selfish way they've helped me just as much.\" But the 40-year-old also frequently spoke about how her biggest fear was leaving Freddie without a mother. \"I'm not scared of dying,\" she wrote in The Daily Telegraph in August. \"I only fear for those I leave behind. For my darling Freddie... for Steve and our families.\" She added: \"Steve and I don't discuss how he'll cope without me, but we do talk about all the things I want him to do with Freddie when I'm gone. \"He's quite an emotional man, so I know he'll do a lot of crying. But he is also the most amazing father and will keep going and stay strong for our son's sake.\" Bland said she was looking for a publisher for her memoir, which she described as \"my love letter to my beautiful boy that I hope will leave the imprint of me and my love for him around him forever\". In her article published on The Huffington Post, Bland revealed that the book was almost finished. She also said she was wrapping presents for her son to open on every birthday until he's 21. \"Personal effects like my notepads - so he can see what my writing was like. Or the perfume he helped pick out for me earlier this year so he'll remember my smell.\" Tributes to \"courageous Rachael\" Steve Bland led tributes to the BBC presenter, posting news of her death from her Twitter account. He wrote: \"We are crushed but she would want me to thank everyone who took an interest in her story or sent messages of support. You'll never know how much they meant to her.\" Jonathan Wall, Controller of BBC Radio 5 Live, said: \"Rachael was part of the fabric of 5 Live and today is a very sad day for all of us and so many of our listeners. \"She was a very talented broadcaster and a beautiful loyal colleague to so many. More than that, she turned the final year of her life into the finest year of her life delivering the most important broadcasting I have ever heard about living with cancer, and ultimately facing death because of cancer. \"She has made a profound difference to so many lives. We are all so proud at what she achieved - a truly heroic broadcaster and lovely wife, daughter and mum.\" Among others to pay tribute were broadcaster Dan Walker, Olympian Dame Kelly Holmes and former-Busted member Charlie Simpson. Former chancellor George Osborne tweeted calling her death \"very sad news\", while deputy leader of the Labour Party Tom Watson said Rachael's family should \"take great pride in the amazing courage she showed\". BBC director general Tony Hall said: \"Rachael was a popular and inspiring journalist. Everyone has been moved by her courage and dignity. She will be hugely missed by her many listeners and by staff across the BBC. Our sympathies go out to her family and many friends at this difficult time.\" The BBC's director of news Fran Unsworth paid her condolences in an email to all BBC staff: \"Rachael was a brilliant journalist and a much-loved colleague. The courageous way she shared her experiences with cancer have inspired and given strength to so many.\" 5 Live's Tony Livesey, pays tribute to his friend and colleague: I met Rachael on my first 5 Live show in 2010 when she held my hand on-air as I learned the ropes. We subsequently broadcast together many, many times and most recently she was my co-presenter on Drive every Friday. She was never afraid to take the mickey, to subvert the norm and her default position was a cheeriness that has left many of us astounded as the chemo, cold cap, guinea pig pill tests and general hell that comes with cancer came and went. The ONLY time she privately expressed any concern to me was about how her husband Steve and son Freddie would cope without her. Even then, she rolled up her sleeves, wrote a life guide for Freddie, and found a publisher. 'Tell Freddie everything,' I urged her. 'He'll want to know all about his fabulous mum.' We here at 5 Live can certainly tell him some stories. There was the time she stole my moment of history. I was all set to become the first ever voice of 5 Live from our new home in Salford. The posters had been printed, the bigwigs were lined up through the glass. I'd prepped my first words: 'One small step etc...' Then, just as I drew breath, Rachael wandered into the studio, sat down and read the news. Hers was the first voice to be heard. She winked and walked out.

            "input": "There's something deep within our DNA that makes us want to explore. I've been lucky enough to spend years running expeditions in Antarctica as well as diving some of the world's great oceans, but nothing prepared me for the challenge that's not far from my own front door. The Pennine Way measures 268 miles, from the Peak District to the Scottish Borders, and takes in three national parks and one area of outstanding natural beauty. It's 50 years old, but its roots go back much further than that. In 1935 a letter from the United States landed on the desk of Daily Herald journalist Tom Stephenson. He was the countryside correspondent for the paper and was being asked if there was a long-distance route - similar to the 2,500-mile-long Appalachian Trail - that could be tackled by two American women on a walking holiday in England. Tom knew only too well that the answer was a big no. Much of the uplands remained in private hands, but the mood was changing. The mass trespass at Kinder Scout in 1932 had shown that some walkers weren't prepared to back down from confronting landlords and gamekeepers. Hiking was becoming more popular. With more leisure time on their hands, workers wanted to stretch their legs in the countryside. Tom - who would later become secretary of the Ramblers' Association - spotted an opportunity. With social attitudes changing after World War Two he prodded, cajoled and convinced the authorities that a \"long green trail\" could be established across the North's rugged uplands. But even as the last footpaths and rights of way were being joined together, some landowners remained deeply sceptical of the whole idea. Walkers couldn't be trusted to cross wild areas of land without causing damage and leaving litter. Sylvia Franks was one of Tom Stephenson's close friends and she remembers the battle to get the route recognised. \"They didn't want the hoi polloi walking on their land, that was the top and bottom of it. \"But we'd fought for this country, we'd fought for the rights to be free men and we wanted to walk our countryside.\" On 24 April 1965 - 30 years after Tom Stephenson had the idea - the Pennine Way became a reality. At an opening ceremony in the Yorkshire Dales village of Malham, hundreds of hikers gathered. Sylvia Franks was there. \"You could see hundreds of ramblers congregating and because the site was in a hollow you could see them coming down the hillsides to meet. It was exciting. It really was.\" Tom wanted the Pennine Way to be a significant test: an escape from the buzz of modern life. Fifty years on it certainly still achieves that and will take a fit, committed walker two to three weeks to complete. Most hikers tend to do the route south to north; starting in Edale in the Peak District and ending at Kirk Yetholm in the Scottish Borders. It takes in the Yorkshire Dales, Teesdale, the North Pennines and the Cheviot Hills in Northumberland. But the beauty of the Pennine Way is you don't have to do it all in one go. Some people do it in stages, taking a lifetime to complete the whole route. The Pennine Way comes with a fearsome reputation; after all, it's a journey along the backbone of Britain. The weather is legendary too. The Pennines get more than their fair share of rain, but the paths are now much better, and the signage has improved. For someone like me, who's been lucky to have adventures all over the planet, the Pennine Way was an eye-opener. It's beautiful and still retains an essence of the wilderness that Tom Stephenson wanted to capture. I think he would have been proud of what he achieved. The Pennine Way is broadcast weekly in four episodes from Friday 10 April on BBC One Yorkshire & Lincolnshire, North East & Cumbria, and the North West. It is also available nationwide on the iPlayer for 30 days thereafter.",

The first vaccination will continue to be given at the usual age of 13 months, even to babies who had the jab at six months. Public Health Wales figures show 1,202 measles cases reported since November. People have been asked to remain vigilant to symptoms of the disease as the outbreak had not been declared over, but PHW said there was no evidence measles was circulating widely in the community. Parents of young babies who had already received the MMR early were asked to ensure they presented their children for the 13 month dose. 'Catch up' Dr Marion Lyons, director of health protection at PHW, said: \"We are satisfied that as case numbers in the measles outbreak are slowing, we no longer need to bring forward routine vaccinations for babies. \"However, parents of children of all ages should be aware that the outbreak is not over, and that if their child is overdue for vaccination, they should still catch up on missed doses as a matter of urgency. \"The age group hardest hit by the outbreak is those between 10 and 18, and we know we still have around 30,000 unvaccinated people in that group. \"We remain concerned about further outbreaks in that age group and would urge those who are not vaccinated to speak to their GP.\" Earlier this month, Health Minister Mark Drakeford announced additional vaccinations would be added to the immunisation programme. Babies will be vaccinated against a bowel infection and toddlers given a flu vaccine, while over-70s will be immunised against shingles and the Meningitis C second dose will be given in adolescence instead of at four months.

Names were missing from voter lists and some voters found others had used their ballots, reports claimed. Here voters share their experience of casting their ballots. Socheata, a 30-year-old office worker from Phnom Penh My village is far away and it would have taken me the whole day to travel there from the capital. My employer gave me the option to vote in the election or volunteer to become an election monitor. I have voted many times before and I was interested in seeing the process for myself, so I chose to become an observer. I was very disappointed. I visited three polling stations and a central office. A lot of people who turned out to vote could not find their names on the register. People were shouting and crying. Last time in 2008 when people couldn't find their names on the register they just walked off. This time they stayed and shouted and cried. There's more momentum this time, you can feel it. I was impressed by how engaged young people are. Last time they were mainly interested in entertainment and hobbies and doing fun things. This time, when the opposition leader gave a speech in the run up to the elections, so many young people wearing campaign T-shirts and caps and waving posters turned out on the street, in the heat, and waited to hear him. I think there was almost a million young people. The ruling party thought young people would vote for them, but they underestimated young people and their desire for change. Although young people said they would vote for the ruling party, in reality they cast their vote in contrast to what they had said. The election was a success from the perspective of being peaceful, mainly, but there were a lot of irregularities and fraud. I think the flaws were deliberate because this has been a recurring problem. The ruling party was meant to reform the election process but that is just one more thing they have failed to deliver. You are meant to have formal ID with you to vote, but if you don't have any ID then you can apply in advance for registration papers. The forms can easily be manipulated because you only need to get two witnesses to say they know you to be issued with a form, whereas your national identity card, family book and other forms of ID are much more solid forms of ID. Last election there were 500 of these registration forms issued, this time 1.5 million forms were issued. That is much less secure. Jean, a French literature undergraduate from Takeo province This is the first time I was eligible to vote. There were five rooms and I had to go into one room and my mother had to go into another. Each room has a list of names. I found my name on the list then I found her name on my list too so I shouted to her, you're supposed to be over here. She said, 'No, I'm supposed to be here,' so we found an official to talk to and they said there must have been a mistake as her name was printed on two lists. I know of three people from my village who tried to vote except someone else had been there before them and they were told, 'no you can't vote, you have voted already'. I don't think it was very well organised. The days before the election people were excited and happy, but then when the results came in I felt so disappointed, I couldn't accept it and I felt like I couldn't breathe. The next morning when I went to the market to buy food, there was no noise, it was silent. I think everyone was disappointed. Dalis from Phnom Penh My experience was that everything went smoothly. I was in and out in about 10 minutes or less and I found my name really easily. One problem though, that didn't happen to me, but my friend and my cousin said their ink washed off pretty easily. They give you ink on your finger to show that you have voted, so that you can't go round again, but they found their ink was very easy to wash off, which is a bit worrying, but as I said, I had no problems. If there have been voting irregularities though, then I will not accept the result of the election. Doeur, a recent psychology graduate and election observer I worked as an election observer and received information from many different centres. There were many problems. The biggest complaint was people's names had been lost from the register. Another problem was with intimidation. Members from the Communist People's Party gathered about 100 metres away from the polling station and people were afraid to vote for anyone else. In one place security didn't allow us inside to observe. Bunthai from Phnom Penh I didn't notice any problems. I was in and out of the election poll within 5 minutes and it took no time all for the officials to find my name on the registry list, once I had handed them my national ID card and my registration receipt. I didn't notice anyone with ID and their receipt who was denied entry. Baby Sangha, an economics professor from Kandal province This is the first time I have voted. Last time I didn't think anything would change but now there is a very strong Western-educated opposition candidate. People are sick of the corruption, there's a lot of injustice here and people don't want to stand for it any more. This election is very important and a lot of people I know had to travel a long way from their work place to vote. There is corruption at every level of society. If you want to sell your house you have to pay under the table to officials, as well as paying the estate agents. When I got married and wanted to have my marriage certificate I had to pay an official, even though it is meant to be issued for free. It took me three hours to find my name on the voter registration list but I didn't give up and finally I found my name. When they started counting the ballots there were a lot of people excitedly running from room to room as the number of CNPR votes far outweighed the CPP votes. We were so excited. I was at home when the official results were announced though and they were so different from what we had seen. We couldn't believe it. Interviews by Sitala Peek",

The programme has already been established in 14 other deprived areas of England. Labour leader of Basildon Council, Gavin Callaghan, said young people \"deserve better than the current offer\". Plans for the site will go to public consultation over the next two months. Councillors agreed a proposal in principle to acquire the land from Basildon Town Centre Management (BTCM) at a meeting on Wednesday. The charity OnSide, which is behind the initiative, defines the youth zone as \"somewhere to go, something to do and someone to talk to .. in a safe, positive and accessible environment\". It reported a significant drop in anti-social behaviour in towns where youth zones have been set up. There are 14 existing programmes across England, including three in Greater London, with more than 38,000 young members. Labour leader of Basildon Council, Gavin Callaghan, said: \"We have responded to public calls for improvements to youth services for young people by agreeing a deal to bring a 21st century youth zone into the heart of Basildon as part of the regeneration. \"It will change the culture of youth services in Basildon. The council is investing in the lifetimes of its young people.\" Kathryn Morley, chief executive of OnSide Youth Zones, described the plans as \"a really positive move forward\", adding that the central location and transport links would be \"integral to its success\".

            "input": "By Vladimir HernandezBBC Mundo, Buenos Aires The decision to wrench control from the majority stakeholder, Spanish oil giant Repsol, has provoked howls of protest from Spain but has been broadly welcomed in Argentina. President Fernandez's announcement reminded many of December 2001, when in the same presidential palace an interim president declared that Argentina was not going to repay its enormous foreign debt. But only weeks later, the cheers and smiles turned to tears as the decision accelerated Argentina's plunge into the worst economic crisis of its history. And for some economic analysts, the decision to put YPF back into state control could bring more woes than real solutions for the country's energy crisis. President Fernandez justified the move as necessary to reduce the state's energy bill. In 2010 Argentina started importing fuel for the first time since YPF was privatised in the early 1990s. Last year the bill ran to $10bn (£6.27bn), and total expenditure for 2012 could be some $14bn. The Argentine president blames Repsol, saying the company has not invested enough in the development of energy sources to cope with the growing internal demand, but instead has repatriated 90% of its profits. Repsol insists it has invested in Argentina. The Spanish government has said the nationalisation of YPF could severely damage the \"friendship ties\" between both countries, and has warned it will retaliate. Pressing on Ms Fernandez is almost certain to have been expecting such fury but nevertheless pressed on against Repsol YPF. Some analysts point out that Argentina has been keen to get a grip on a strategic area of the economy, as it has been one of the few South American nations without an influential state-owned company in the energy sector. \"The development of a country is closely linked to the availability and production of energy to cope with all its internal demand,\" says economist Alfredo Zaiat, who writes frequently for a pro-government newspaper. \"To achieve this it was crucial to expropriate Repsol's shares and also to include in the nationalisation draft bill that it is a national interest to become self sustainable in regards to the exploitation of hydrocarbons,\" he said. Repsol will be compensated, but the amount will be determined by an Argentine tribunal. Since Ms Fernandez's husband, the late Nestor Kirchner, was elected president in 2003, public policy has shifted significantly towards favouring a bigger role for the state. There have also been moves towards reversing the free-market stance which many blamed for the economic crash of 2001-2002. Ms Fernandez, elected as her husband's successor in 2007, continued his economic model, re-nationalising the flagship airline Aerolineas Argentinas and pushing through a reform to allow the government to use the Central Bank's reserves to pay foreign debt. The seizure of YPF follows this trend and for some analysts it could mark a precedent for the other foreign-run oil companies in the country. \"As the energy sector has been declared 'in the public interest', this opens up the possibility for the nationalisation of other companies,\" says oil consultant Eduardo Fernandez. The move for YPF is likely to have shaken other foreign investors currently in Argentina. \"We see this as negative for Argentina's (already poor) long-term investment prospects and believe that this could spark a partial withdrawal of locally-based foreign operators across other sectors\", says Michael Henderson, an economist from Capital Economics. The Argentine government insists the takeover does not translate into a hostile act towards foreign investors. \"We are fine with [foreign companies making] profits. But these profits cannot come at the expense of our national interests,\" President Fernandez said. Before privatisation, YPF was Argentina's flagship oil company. The move to bring it back under state-control will prove popular amongst the government supporters. But experts believe there are doubts about the government's capacity to fund its oil activities and to reduce fuel imports from abroad. \"To extract more oil the state needs at least $6bn more than what is currently invested and the government does not have such capital,\" says Daniel Gerol, from G&G Energy Consultants. In November last year Argentina announced the discovery of vast reserves of shale oil, most of it unexplored. Analysts believe that foreign investment is crucial to extract this oil. After Monday's announcement, and the stinging response from Spain, Argentina's biggest foreign investor, the continued arrival of overseas capital seems much less certain.",

            "input": "The group of Rapa Nui say the land on which the hotel was built had been illegally taken from their ancestors generations ago. They have been protesting for months over what they say are plans to develop Easter Island. The island, annexed by Chile in 1888, is a Unesco World Heritage Site. Members of the Hitorangi clan have been occupying the Hangaroa Eco Village and Spa since last August. The hotel was bought from the Chilean government by the Scheiss family, a powerful investment group, in the 1990s, but the Rapa Nui say their ancestors had been cheated into giving up the land years before. Rodrigo Gomez, a lawyer for the group, said up to 50 armed police had broken into the hotel to remove the final five occupiers. They were arrested and released pending court hearings. 'Good faith' Mr Gomez said the operation had been \"utterly irregular and illegal\". It comes two days before the group was due to appear in court to discuss the ownership of the land. A statement on the Save Rapa Nui website said a judge on the Chilean mainland had twice refused to give police permission to carry out the raid, and that another of the group's lawyers had been prevented from visiting his clients in jail. His claims could not be immediately confirmed. Last December, more than 20 people were injured when police armed with pellet guns attempted to clear Rapa Nui protesters from buildings they were occupying. In January this year, the UN's Special Rapporteur on Indigenous People, James Anaya, expressed concern about the Rapa Nui. He urged the Chilean government to \"make every effort to conduct a dialogue in good faith with representatives of the Rapa Nui people to solve, as soon as possible the real underlying problems that explain the current situation\". Rapa Nui is the official name for the remote Easter Island, which lies more than 3,200km (2,000 miles) off the west coast of Chile. The tiny island has a population of about 4,000 but is best known for its ancient giant carved stone heads, known as Moais.",

One comment ruins your day. But that's why I've come off it.\" The star, who has 19 million followers, says he'll keep the account open, but it will only share automatic updates from his Instagram page from now on. A quick scan of Twitter finds a number of negative - although not necessarily abusive - comments directed towards the 26-year-old. \"Irritating ginger busker\" is a particularly common insult; while the song Galway Girl has provoked a torrent of anger. \"Revolting, fudged cultural appropriation,\" wrote David N about the jaunty jig, in which Sheeran describes falling for a girl who \"played the fiddle in an Irish band\". Another user described it as \"awful 'diddly-eye leprachaun'\" music, full of \"stereotypical nonsense\". Richard Roche had some helpful advice regarding the lyrics, which he described as: \"Full of geographical inaccuracies (there's no pub on Grafton St).\" Most recently, Sheeran had to defend himself against accusations of using a backing track during his headline set at Glastonbury. The star uses a loop pedal during his performances, which allows him to record his vocal and guitar lines, creating a layered, looped accompaniment live, on the spot. \"Is it a backing track or invisible musicians?!? Who's playing when Ed Sheeran stops?!?\" wrote one mystified fan. \"Couldn't he get real musicians? I like him but all a bit karaoke,\" wrote another. In his last personally-authored tweet, the star sounded exasperated by the accusations. \"Never thought I'd have to explain it, but everything I do in my live show is live, it's a loop station, not a backing track. Please google,\" he wrote. Other users took aim at Sheeran's televised Glastonbury show after he suffered guitar problems during the song Bloodstream. \"Ed Sheeran come to my house and I will show you how to tune a guitar you useless mess,\" wrote one. Speaking to The Sun, Sheeran said he had \"been trying to work out why people dislike me so much\" but the simple answer is that he's the victim of his own success. His third album ÷ (Divide) is the year's biggest-seller, dominating the charts and radio around the world. In the UK, every song on the record made the top 20 of the singles chart, while the lead single, Shape Of You, spent 14 weeks at number one. That sort of ubiquity draws out the more mean-spirited and aggressive users of Twitter - which has gained a reputation for harbouring trolls. Stars including Miley Cyrus, Sue Perkins, Stephen Fry, Halsey and Avengers director Joss Whedon have all quit the site after suffering abuse. Others, including Selena Gomez and Tom Daley, have received death threats. (We saw no evidence of similar tweets to Sheeran, although it is possible such messages would have been deleted for violating Twitter's terms and conditions). Last year, Bloomberg reported that Disney chose not to pursue an acquisition of the social media network in part because it thought the bullying behaviour of some users might damage the film company's image. Twitter has since taken action to combat abuse - giving users better tools to mute or block trolls. Based upon a trawl of Sheeran's account, mean tweets are vastly outweighed by positive ones. Every time he posts a photo or a comment, the majority of responses are variations of, \"I love you\", \"te amo\" and \"come to Portugal!\" And if Sheeran ventures back onto the site, he'll find heartwarming messages like this one from Castie Collins, who wrote: \"I'm learning guitar because of you.\" \"Thank u @edsheeran for making great music so studying isn't always SO terrible,\" said Emily Estopare. Hannah Robinson added: \"I'm sick and feel like crap but I turned on some Ed Sheeran songs and felt better.\" And Karen Porter had kind words for Sheeran's Glastonbury slot: \"Could tell you were having the best time ever up on that stage,\" she said. \"Amazing to see true talent and a genuine soul. Much love.\" Even the star's least-liked song received some (faint) praise from Sadie Lyon, who wrote: \"My Uber driver knows the rap bit in Galway Girl.\" Follow us on Facebook, on Twitter @BBCNewsEnts, or on Instagram at bbcnewsents.

            "input": "\"Fish fraud\" sees cheaper fish being passed off or mislabelled as a more expensive type to boost profit margins. In 2017, seven of the 91 fish samples submitted to the Food Standards Agency (FSA) in England, Wales and Northern Ireland were a cheaper substitute. The number tested is far lower than the 665 meat samples submitted in 2017. Once a fish is filleted, DNA testing is often the only way to prove what species it is, with the results submitted to the FSA by local authorities including examples of cod being substituted by catfish, whiting or haddock. The FSA says local authorities \"are responsible for developing and implementing their food sampling policy\", which should take account of priorities set nationally. Findings are recorded in the UK Food Surveillance System, which is a centralised database used to collect food test results and monitor trends in the food industry. Stefano Mariani, professor of conservation genetics at the University of Salford, said testing was largely intelligence-led, so rogue businesses feel they can \"get away with it\". \"In general there's very little testing for authenticity and traceability - at county level they may decide other tests, for instance testing for potentially harmful bacteria, is more important,\" he said. \"No step of the supply chain is completely free [from risk of foul-play], that's why it's very important to invest in control, traceability and other means to minimise this problem.\" Much like in the 2013 horsemeat scandal, eating cheaper fish does not present a health risk, but concerns have been raised about consumer deception. Fish value increasing All the 2017 fish samples found to be unsatisfactory were taken from small independent businesses such as restaurants and retailers. Prof Mariani said the problem had largely been resolved in fish and chip shops because of tighter regulations, but other eateries were at risk, sometimes unwittingly. \"Restaurants and sushi bars don't have the same compliance requirements that a retailer has, so it's the place you're more likely to be duped,\" he said. A 2016 FSA report suggested fraud relating to fish was most prominent in the North East of England - particularly around the major fishing ports at the mouth of the Humber. Martyn Boyers, chief executive of Grimsby Fish Market, said: \"Since the Brexit vote, we've seen an increase in the value of white fish. \"The issues will be about the change in the pricing and that in itself could lead to people trying to take shortcuts.\" He added: \"If stuff is mislabelled and when it's frozen, I'd defy anybody to tell me what the fish is when it's in its filleted state - skinless, boneless and in a block.\" The failure rate of fish samples has remained fairly consistent, with 7.6% unsatisfactory in 2017, 6.7% in 2016 and 9.3% in 2015. You may also be interested in: Mark Drummond, who runs an award-winning fish and chip shop near Bradford, said: \"To some extent it tars everybody in the industry with the same brush because there's a few trying to defraud the system. \"Regulators are stretched so there isn't a vast amount of testing done.\" In a statement, the FSA said: \"While sampling is a key part of a local authority's approach to delivering official controls, it is only one tool available to check compliance in this area, which include inspections, invoice checks, menu checks and physical checks of the products and labels. \"We're developing a new strategic surveillance approach which will give us more data and intelligence, allowing us to support LAs to plan their own sampling and analysis to be more targeted and effective.\" You can see more on this story on BBC Inside Out Yorkshire and Lincolnshire at 19:30 BST on BBC One on Monday 15 October or via iPlayer afterwards.",

Mr Skates said he had told BA the number of jobs at risk \"needs to be reduced\". The airline has started a 45-day consultation with workers. BA's parent company had warned it was to cut 12,000 jobs from its 42,000-strong workforce due to the crisis. BA say they are proposed changes, including at its main £70m maintenance base at Cardiff Airport, and subject to consultation with unions. While BA does not fly from Wales, it employs about 900 maintenance and engineering staff at three sites in south Wales. They maintain their long-haul fleet at Cardiff Airport, have an interiors factory in Blackwood, Caerphilly county and an Avionics Services site in Llantrisant in Rhonnda Cynon Taff. A worker at the Blackwood site, who did not want to be named, told the BBC: \"It's gutting. It's been here 20 years and just like that, it's gone. \"These are decent jobs round here and I just don't know what the guys in there will do now. It's a very sombre mood. It really is.\" Mr Skates said there would be a statutory consultation taking place between the airline, workers and unions. \"My hope is that during this period we will be able to have access to the employees within those facilities so we can offer every bit of support that is available from Welsh Government,\" he said. The airline's parent company IAG had previously said it needed to impose a \"restructuring and redundancy programme\" until demand for air travel returns to 2019 levels. IAG - one of the world's biggest airline companies, which also owns Spanish airline Iberia and Ireland's Aer Lingus - said it will take several years for air travel to return to pre-virus levels, a warning that has been echoed by airlines across the world. John Whalley, head of the Aerospace Wales Forum, told BBC Radio Wales: \"The real concern is that British Airways is now part of a much larger group IAG - with decisions taken in London and Madrid. \"It remains to be seen whether there are rationalisation plans for the whole of the group which might involve closing one or more sites in south Wales, we just don't know at this stage.\" It has been warned the job losses would have a \"devastating impact\" on families and the south Wales economy. \"Many of those at risk of redundancy are currently furloughed under the government's Job Retention Scheme; a scheme clearly designed to retain jobs,\" said Richard Munn, of union Unite Wales. \"It also means that meaningful consultation is impossible. Unite therefore regard the consultation as unlawful and are demanding that BA rescind the notices of redundancy and enter in to meaningful talks with Unite.\" It was \"devastating\" news for the workers at the three sites, said Andrew RT Davies, the Welsh Conservative Member of the Senedd for South Wales Central. He called for \"brave leadership at Westminster and Cardiff Bay\". \"These are high-skilled jobs which will not be easily replaced in our area,\" he added. It is the latest blow for the aerospace industry as engine maker Rolls-Royce also announced on Wednesday it will cut 9,000 jobs, warning it will take \"several years\" for the airline industry to recover from the drop in air travel because of the coronavirus crisis. Experts had warned 8,000 aerospace jobs in Wales could go because of the fall in airline passenger numbers and that the sector \"may never recover\". Plaid Cymru offered its sympathies to workers whose jobs were at risk and said it illustrated \"the benefit of establishing an emergency universal basic income\". Helen Mary Jones MS, the party's economy spokeswoman, said: \"There needs to be a safety net in place as a matter of urgency for these workers, others like them and for those who are slipping through the cracks when it comes to support.\" Jobs are also at risk at General Electric's 1,400-worker site at Nantgarw, near Caerphilly, and at Airbus' factory in Broughton on Deeside. It is because nine out of 10 flights have been grounded since the UK went into lockdown - plus travel restrictions can prevent some air travel. This is confirmation of terrible news for BA workers across south Wales. Job losses are expected across the aerospace and defence industry which employs 23,000 people in Wales. The industry has already been badly hit by coronavirus and it's almost certain that it will take years to fully recover. BA's maintenance facility at Rhoose services the company's long-haul fleet of planes. These flights are the ones that passengers are expected to take longer to return to so demand for these planes may be reduced for years. The facility is also a user of the Welsh Government-owned Cardiff Airport where the BA planes arrive for service. BA had said it would cut 12,000 in total from its operations. There have also been warnings of global job losses at Airbus and GE Aviation. Both companies are major employers in Wales.",

            "input": "By Deborah Cohen and Ed Brown BBC Newsnight The Excel trial tested whether stents were as effective as open heart surgery at treating patients with a heart problem called left main disease. The data suggested more people fitted with stents were dying after three years. It was eventually published - but only after treatment guidelines that partly relied on the trial had been written. These guidelines recommend both stents and heart surgery for certain patients with left main disease. Trial authors defend standards The authors of the trial said it was carried out rigorously and to accepted academic standards. In the trial, sponsored by US stent manufacturer Abbott, half the patients were given stents, the other half had open heart surgery. Not all the patients were recruited at the same time. Some were recruited in 2011, others over the years that followed. So, when the first results were published in 2016, the doctors doing the trial knew there was data about what had happened to some of the patients five years after their stent or heart surgery procedure. But they chose to look only at what happened up to three years after the patients' procedures and publish that data. A spokesman for Abbott said: \"The study's execution, data collection, analysis and interpretation were entirely performed by independent research organisations. The publication of three-year Excel data reflects the original follow-up period and endpoints the study was powered to assess.\" 'Absolutely appalled' Prof Nick Freemantle, a biostatistician at University College London, said: \"If somebody had died three years and one day into the trial, that death wouldn't have been counted in the results. \"I'm absolutely appalled that they've done this,\" he said. \"I've taken a straw poll of my professional colleagues and it draws disbelief that people would do this,\" he said The researchers said the outcomes of the study were analysed and reported according to the protocol. Newsnight has seen information shared between people involved with the safety of the trial that suggested things were starting to look worse for people with stents after three years. More people were dying than those who had had surgery. Emails from the the trial's safety committee warned that all the data about deaths should be viewed by the researchers and published. \"It might be very concerning if in the future, suspicions were raised that already available information on mortality was withheld from the cardiology and thoracic surgery community,\" Dr Lars Wallentin, the head of the safety committee, wrote to the researchers in 2017. He was worried that major European clinical guidelines were being drawn up by heart doctors about how people with left main disease should be treated and the trial results would be used as part of their work. But the doctors on the trial chose not to publish the data when the safety committee asked, despite the warning. They published further data after the guidelines were completed. Even without this additional data, there was disagreement among those writing the guidelines about whether stents or surgery was the better treatment for patients. Review 'not shared' An external reviewer was brought in by the European Society of Cardiology to look at a number of trials and resolve the debate. Newsnight has seen the review. It said that the evidence suggested stents were worse than surgery for those with left main disease. \"I think most patients would find these differences to be clinically meaningful, I do not believe that both these procedures should receive the same class of recommendation,\" it said. But the review was not shared with everyone who believed they should have seen it. One of those people was Prof Freemantle, who was involved in the European guidelines. He claims that this calls into question the neutrality of the whole process. Newsnight has previously reported that the same trial failed to publish certain heart attack data that cast stents in a bad light. The researchers said our leak data was fake and their methodology was the right one. Following Newsnight's previous report, a number of major surgical organisations have called for a review of the trial. The researchers carrying out the trial have agreed to an \"independent\" review of the raw data. Various names have been put forward by the researchers and the European Society of Cardiology about who is doing the analysis. All have ties to the researchers, guidelines process or medical device industry. When approached by the BBC they have all said they are not doing it. No ties Prof John Ioannadis, from Stanford University, an expert on medical research design, said the analysis must be completely independent. \"I think that if you have the same network, the same closed club passing the data from one member to another, that's not really very helpful,\" he said. He believes the trial and guidelines process raise concerns which are indicative of a wider systemic problem with the way medical research is done. All the main doctors working on the trial, and the lead doctor writing the guidelines for left main disease, have declared financial contributions to either themselves or their institutions from companies that manufacture stents. \"You have the same people who run the show at all levels. They design the trials. They set the agenda, they choose what to present. \"They are involved in disseminating the information and running the large conferences that are attended by tens of thousands of people, specialists in the field. And then they also populate the guideline panels that reach the recommendations,\" he said. The organisations involved and researchers have declared the conflicts of interest, and say that they are effective in managing them. The conflict-of-interest declarations are intended to mitigate against conscious or unconscious bias - or the appearance of it. You can watch Newsnight on BBC Two at 22:30 on weekdays.

It will come a day before the UK severs ties with the 27 nation organisation. The UK Parliament is being recalled to vote on the agreement, which sets the rules for a new trade and security relationship between the UK and EU. The deal was agreed in Brussels on Christmas Eve, following nine months of negotiations. The European Parliament has begun its scrutiny of the agreement but will not get a chance to ratify it before the UK leaves the EU single market and customs union at midnight on Thursday. The deal has, however, been given the unanimous backing of ambassadors from the 27 nations and the member states gave their written approval earlier on Tuesday. That paves the way for European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and European Council President Charles Michel to sign the treaty on Wednesday morning in Brussels. It will then be flown across the Channel for the UK prime minister to sign it in Downing Street, a No 10 spokesman said. Both houses of the UK Parliament are set to vote on a bill putting the agreement into UK law on Wednesday. MPs are set to debate the EU (future relationship) Bill for five hours, starting at 09:30 GMT, before a vote. It is expected to clear the Commons with the backing of the opposition Labour Party, although some Labour MPs - and all the other opposition parties - are planning to vote against it or abstain. It will then move on to the Lords, which is also expected to back it, before receiving Royal Assent. Prime Minister Boris Johnson has hailed the deal, which comes four and half years since the UK voted to leave the EU and a year after it officially left, as the first of its kind in history. The PM says it will deliver on his general election promise to \"take back control\" of the UK's laws, borders, money and fishing waters. And he claimed the £668bn a year agreement would \"protect jobs across this country\" and \"enable UK goods to be sold without tariffs, without quotas in the EU market\". Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer - who campaigned against Brexit - has described it as a \"thin\" deal which does not do enough to protect jobs, the environment and workers' rights. But he has ordered Labour MPs to back it as the only alternative was leaving without a deal, which he said would have been devastating for the UK economy. Northern Ireland's political parties that take their seats at Westminster will be voting against the deal - as will the Scottish National Party and Welsh nationalists Plaid Cymru. But the prime minister has received a boost from a powerful group of backbench Tory Brexiteers, who have indicated they will back the deal. The European Research Group (ERG) said its panel of legal experts had examined the text in detail and concluded that it \"preserves the UK's sovereignty as a matter of law\". Turkey deal It comes as the UK government announced it has signed a deal that will allow British businesses to continue trading with Turkey on the same terms after Brexit. The tariff-free arrangements underpin a trading relationship which the UK government said was worth £18.6bn last year. The government said both sides are \"committed to working towards a more ambitious free trade agreement\". The UK rolled over dozens of trade deals with countries around the world since deciding to leave the EU's trading arrangements. The vast majority of the 62 trade deals the UK has signed over the past two years have retained the same terms as before Brexit.",

The 1996 law defines marriage as \"only a legal union between one man and one woman as husband and wife\". Five states and Washington DC allow same-sex marriages. Meanwhile, Hawaii Governor Neil Abercrombie signed same-sex civil unions into law on Wednesday, which will give gay and lesbian couples the same state rights as married partners beginning on 1 January 2012. 'Unnecessary and unfair' Previously, the US had defended the law banning same sex marriage in challenges of its constitutionality. US President Barack Obama had said he supported only same-sex civil unions, though in December he acknowledged his position was \"evolving\". White House spokesman Jay Carney said on Wednesday Mr Obama believed Doma was \"unnecessary and unfair\", but was still \"grappling\" with his personal views on gay marriage. In the US, marriage comes under the purview of state law, and Doma, passed under former President Bill Clinton, states that no state or other jurisdiction of the US shall be required to recognise a same-sex marriage approved elsewhere. The law also requires the federal government to interpret the legal concept of marriage only as a legal union between a man and a woman. A spokesman to Republican House Speaker John Boehner said Mr Obama should instead be focusing on job creation and budget cuts. \"The president will have to explain why he thinks now is the appropriate time to stir up a controversial issue that sharply divides the nation,\" said Michael Steel. In a letter to Mr Boehner and other Congressional leaders on Wednesday, Mr Holder said the Obama administration would not defend the law in two current court challenges brought by same-sex couples. He said the president, a constitutional lawyer, had deemed the law violated the equal protection provisions of the US constitution. But Mr Holder said the administration would continue to enforce parts the law requiring government agencies to interpret marriage as only a union between a man and a woman until the law was ruled unconstitutional by a court. \"While both the wisdom and the legality of... Doma will continue to be the subject of both extensive litigation and public debate, this administration will no longer assert its constitutionality in court,\" Mr Holder wrote. At stake are thousands of federal benefits afforded to married couples, including Social Security benefits, tax benefits, immigration rights, family leave, military housing and other items.",

            "input": "The move comes as the two sides wrestle to put to an end their 16-year trade battle over state aid for Airbus and American rival Boeing. The US last year raised border taxes on more than 100 items, including jumpers, single-malt whiskies and cheese. It has said the EU has not done enough. \"The EU and member states have not taken the actions necessary to come into compliance with WTO decisions,\" America's top trade official, Robert Lighthizer, said on Wednesday. \"The United States, however, is committed to obtaining a long-term resolution to this dispute. The European Union cautiously welcomed the US decision not to increase the amount of goods subject to tariffs. \"The commission acknowledges the decision of the US not to exacerbate the ongoing aircraft dispute by increasing tariffs on European products,\" an EU spokesperson said. Airbus last month said it would alter some deals responsible for the dispute, saying the changes, including increasing its interest rates on loans with France and Spain, eliminated \"any justification\" for the US border taxes. The move prompted EU officials to call for an end to \"unjustified\" tariffs. Many American businesses have also protested the duties, which raise prices for American buyers. On Wednesday Airbus spokesman Clay McConnell said in a statement the company \"profoundly regrets that, despite Europe's recent actions to achieve full compliance, USTR [US Trade Representative] has decided to maintain tariffs on Airbus aircraft - especially at a time when aviation and other sectors are going through an unprecedented crisis.\" When did the tariffs start? The US announced tariffs on $7.5bn worth of goods last year after the World Trade Organization ruled that state aid provided to Airbus to launch its A380 and A350 jets was illegal and authorised American retaliation. In February, the US raised the rates being charged on aircraft from 10% to 15%, leaving the 25% duty on other items unchanged. This summer, American officials again threatened to raise tariff rates or make new items subject to the import tax. The items threatened with new duties included salmon fillets, gin and olives. The US is required by law to review the tariffs periodically. On Wednesday it announced minor tweaks to the list, for example, removing sweet biscuits like shortbread made in the UK and adding jams from France and Germany. Trade lawyer Jamieson Greer, former chief of staff to US Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer, told the BBC: \"The reality is that this can all be solved if Airbus took some action to provide restitution.\" More tariffs ahead? The European Union, which brought its own case challenging American subsidies for Boeing, has threatened to hit the US with tariffs of its own. It is waiting for the World Trade Organization to decide how big such a punishment might be. The US in May said it had eliminated the benefits in dispute. That WTO ruling is expected later this year. \"In the absence of a settlement, the EU will be ready to fully avail itself of its own sanction rights,\" Trade Commissioner Phil Hogan said last month. The issue has also complicated trade talks between the US and the UK. UK Trade Secretary Liz Truss raised the matter in talks with Mr Lighthizer this month, as the two sides held a third round of negotiations. Ms Truss said that while she welcomed the US's decision not to lift levies: \"The announcement does not address tariffs that already exist on goods like single malt Scotch whisky.\" She said: \"These tariffs damage industry and livelihoods on both sides of the Atlantic and are in nobody's interests. I am therefore stepping up talks with the US to remove them as soon as possible.\"",

The cause of the explosion is unknown but prosecutors said safety concerns were ignored in the interest of profit. A firm and its director are standing trial at Chester Crown Court over the deaths and deny manslaughter charges. The body of Mr Shingler, a 38-year-old charge-hand, was never found in the destruction, with the fire taking days to suppress. The remains of Dorothy Bailey, the mill's only cleaner, 62; maintenance fitter Derek William Barks, known as Will, 51; and mill worker Derek Moore, 62, were recovered in the days following the explosion. In court on Monday, the prosecution alleged that wood dust - which it said was recognised as hazardous - had not been dealt with properly, and a build-up of the substance contributed to the explosion. The court heard that before the blast, one worker had branded the mill \"a ticking time bomb\", but when staff raised safety concerns, they were told: \"We're not making any profits, we need to make money.\" Tony Badenoch QC, prosecuting, said: \"That position ultimately led to the loss of four lives.\" He added: \"There was a threat against employees, 'get the machinery running or you will be out of work'.\" The jury was told employees described a \"make do and mend\" approach, with the number of cleaning staff cut from four to just Ms Bailey. Mr Badenoch said when the Health and Safety Executive was due to visit, other staff would be offered overtime to help clean. Jurors were also told about a piece of machinery dubbed the \"Riverside Dog\" - so named, the prosecution said, because its condition was such that it had to be chained to the floor to prevent it moving around. Wood Treatment Ltd denies four charges of corporate manslaughter. Its director, George Boden, 64, of Church Road, Stockport, - who was on holiday at the time of the blast - denies four counts of gross negligence manslaughter. The prosecution said that employees speaking after the blast had complained \"almost universally\" of \"deterioration\" at the mill since Mr Boden took over in 2012. Operations manager Philip Smith, 58, of Raglan Road, Macclesfield, and mill manager Peter Shingler, 56, of Turnstall Road, Bosley, both deny a health and safety offence. The court heard emergency services were called to the mill following the explosion at 09:11 BST on 17 July 2015 to find flames and casualties, including walking wounded with burns and about 20 \"shell-shocked\" people standing outside. One fire officer reported devastation everywhere and said it was like \"a scene out of the movies\", Mr Badenoch told jurors. He added more than 800 tonnes of rubble had to be moved, with police divers deployed to underground culverts in a bid to find missing people alive. Despite a five-month investigation, the cause of the blast has never been established. \"While it is not possible, nor is it necessary, to be certain about the exact sequence of events, there is one obvious certainty,\" Mr Badenoch said. \"There was a quantity of material which was available to explode in this way - without which there would have been no explosion, there would not have been four tragic deaths, and others would not have been seriously injured.\" Mr Boden also denies one count of being the director of a corporate body which committed a health and safety offence.

            "input": "By Matt McGrathEnvironment correspondent, BBC News The three-year project found that only 21% of children aged 8-12 were \"connected to nature\". Girls were much more likely than boys to be exposed to the great outdoors, while children in Wales had the lowest score across the UK. The RSPB says that a perception among some adults that nature is dangerous or dirty could be holding children back. There has been an increasing amount of research in recent years underlining the lack of contact and experience with nature among modern children. Some have argued that this is having a negative impact on their health, education and behaviour. In 2012, the National Trust published a report on the phenomenon of \"nature deficit disorder\", though it is not recognised as a medical condition. Gender difference The RSPB says its new study is the first to quantify the scale of British children's exposure, or lack of it, to the natural world. They came up with a definition of what \"connected to nature\" actually means and then developed a questionnaire with 16 statements designed to assess the level of connection among children. Some 1,200 children from across the UK were asked to agree or disagree with these statements. Only 21% of children in the UK had a level of connection with wildlife and the natural world that the RSPB believes should be realistic and achievable for all youngsters. This \"realistic and achievable\" value is based on the average scores of children visiting RSPB sites or who are junior members of the organisation. One interesting finding was the gender difference. While 27% of girls were at or above the \"realistic and achievable\" target, only 16% of boys were at the same level. \"We need to understand these differences,\" Sue Armstrong-Brown, head of conservation at the charity, told BBC News. \"Whether boys and girls are scoring differently on different questions, are girls more empathetic to nature than boys for instance? We need to analyse the data to find that out.\" The report also highlighted significant regional differences. Only 13% of children in Wales achieved the basic level of exposure, compared with almost twice this number in Northern Ireland and Scotland. Urban beats rural The average score for London was higher than the rest of England. Overall urban children had a slightly higher connection than those living in rural areas. According to Sue Armstrong-Brown, the attitudes of adults may be having a significant effect on children. \"There is definitely an attitude out there, in some cases, that nature is not perceived as interesting or engaging. In some cases it is perceived as a dirty or unsafe thing, and that's an attitude that won't help a young person climb a tree.\" The RSPB hopes that its study will be taken up by government as one of the indicators on the state of children's wellbeing. Sue Armstrong-Brown believes that improving the natural connection for children is not only good for the youngsters, it is crucial for the future of nature conservation in this country. \"If we can grow a generation of children that have a connection to nature and do feel a sense of oneness with it, we then have the force for the future that can save nature and stop us living in a world where nature is declining,\" she said.

Sir Terry, who died in January at the age of 77 from cancer, began his career on the BBC Light Programme. Further details of the service will be announced at a later date. The Radio Academy's festival at the British Library will be moved to 26 September to avoid a clash. A spokesperson said: \"As a mark of respect to Sir Terry Wogan - one of the great figures of British broadcasting - and to avoid in any way detracting from the service of Thanksgiving being held for him at Westminster Abbey, the Radio Festival, which was due to take place on the same day, will now be moved.\" Sir Terry has already been remembered in a special episode of Songs of Praise on BBC One. He was one of Britain's most loved and enduring radio and TV personalities. His death on 31 January came as a surprise to many people since he had kept his illness out of the headlines. Leading figures from the worlds of showbusiness and politics were quick to pay tribute to him, with Prime Minister David Cameron saying he was \"someone millions came to feel was their own special friend\". Former Radio 2 presenter Jonathan Ross said: \"He was a thoughtful, generous and sane man in an industry where those qualities are rare.\" Stinging commentary Given his popularity and the length of his career, the thanksgiving event is likely to be attended by a high-profile congregation. Sir Terry was the popular presenter of the Radio 2 breakfast show up until 2009, when Chris Evans took over. His jocular manner, and flights of whimsy, helped Sir Terry build an audience of eight million. He was last heard on the station on 8 November, presenting his Weekend Wogan show, which he had hosted since 2010 following his decision to step down from his weekday show. A few days later, it was announced Sir Terry would not be presenting the BBC's annual charity fundraiser Children In Need due to health issues. It was the first time in the event's 35-year history that he would not front the appeal show. Sir Terry was also well-known for fronting the BBC's Eurovision coverage from 1971 to 2008, just for radio at the start and later moving to TV. From 1980 to 2008 he was the indispensible television voice of the contest for millions of listeners. His witty commentary proved to be one of the many highlights of his career. The show, which now has Graham Norton doing BBC commentary, is being held this year be held on 14 May in Stockholm. Last month, Christer Bjorkman, the Swedish producer of this year's contest, criticised Sir Terry's work on the show and said he would never have given him a job. Mr Bjorkman said Sir Terry had \"totally spoiled Eurovision\" by mocking the acts and making the audience consider the contest as merely \"kitsch\". But the BBC said: \"Sir Terry Wogan is and always will be part of the heritage of the Eurovision Song Contest.\"",

He also said that the economic policies of the White House were creating uncertainty, without naming specific policies. President Donald Trump is pursuing a more protectionist trade agenda and trying to relax regulations brought in to protect the financial system after the crash. He has also pledged to slash taxes and boost infrastructure spending. \"The risk is that the White House or the US will do something really irrational.

It has to deliver promises repeated for so long but yet to be delivered, like the cut to inheritance tax. It has to fulfil the Tories' stated goals of cutting spending, cutting welfare and cutting tax whilst still claiming to be the \"workers' party\" pursuing a One Nation \"we're all in it together\" philosophy. Pace slowed And it comes at a time when what politicians love to call \"difficult decisions\" will never be easier to take. After all, George Osborne no longer has to haggle with coalition partners, he faces a Labour Party which is still struggling to absorb its defeat and he is once again able to raise the spectre of Greece - \"if a country's not in control of its borrowing the borrowing takes control of the country\". Nevertheless, the chancellor is expected to slow the pace of planned welfare cuts so that he will take three years instead of two to reach his promised target of £12bn. I understand he will unveil proposals for £8bn of cuts by 2017/8 and a further £4bn by 2018/9. Sources are stressing that this is very unlikely to make the cuts less controversial or to stop what Mr Osborne has called the \"depressingly predictable howls of protest\" which he expects to greet his Budget. OBR criticism In the last Parliament the deepest welfare cuts the government achieved amounted to £8bn over two years and experts have pointed out that the easy routes to saving money have already been taken - for example, ending the link between benefit rises and the higher RPI rate of inflation. The main targets for welfare cuts are expected to be tax credits - in particular child tax credit - housing benefit and the elements of Employment Support Allowance which are paid to those deemed capable of work related activity (my colleagues Allegra Stratton and Michael Buchanan have examined these in depth). The chancellor may also choose to slow the pace of overall spending cuts, although the Treasury is refusing to confirm this. This would be seen as a response to criticism from the Office for Budget Responsibility after the last Budget of what they described as a \"roller coaster\" ride in public spending - sharp cuts for two years followed by steep rises. The OECD has also called on the government to reconsider plans to front-load spending cuts at the beginning of this Parliament. Wriggle room Some forecasters have suggested that the deficit could be as much as £15bn lower than it was forecast to be just three months ago when George Osborne last delivered a Budget. This would allow him a little bit of wriggle room to slow his spending cuts at the same time as pursuing tax cuts, particularly if he can also raise significant sums by increasing the tax paid by non-doms and by top-rate taxpayers on their pension contributions. Mr Osborne will, as expected, reject calls for him to cut the top rate of income tax from 45p to 40p and will instead make further progress towards the Tories' target of increasing the personal income tax allowance to £12,500 and the threshold for higher rate tax to £50,000. If he does all this and more the Budget will certainly live up to the pre-billing. Which word you add after \"big\" will, of course, depend on your political persuasion.",

Some international students considered Christmas trips home too difficult amid tight Covid-19 restrictions and quarantine rules. For others, who could travel but chose to stay, limits on gatherings and social distancing mean it will be a holiday like no other. BBC News NI has spoken to some of those people making Northern Ireland home this Christmas. 'Dreading Christmas alone' - Ausby Rodrigues Qatar-born Ausby Rodrigues said he is \"dreading\" spending Christmas Day alone. The Ulster University student, in the final year of a sports studies degree, said his parents cried when he told them he would not be coming back for Christmas. He said he returned to Belfast in November to concentrate on his studies, but now questions if he made the right decision. \"I would be surrounded by friends and family and having a good time, opening presents and going to church,\" he said. \"I'm sure in the long run it is the right decision, because it is my future, but for the time-being I am quite a bit homesick.\" 'I don't want to risk my parents' lives' - Nidhi Kumari Second year computer science student Nidhi Kumari, from east India, wanted to go home to see her parents but feared for their health. The Queen's University undergraduate spent Christmas 2019 in Belfast but promised her family she would return home in summer. However this was not possible due to Covid-19 travel restrictions. So instead, she will spend Christmas with friends in her university flat. \"India is more happening on Christmas Day compared to Belfast,\" she said. \"It's more of a one-day festival where people go out - here people start well ahead of Christmas Day. \"Some of my flatmates will be going home, but a few of us will be here and we are thinking of doing a few things, like movie nights or crafts,\" she said. 'I normally don't get homesick' - Victoria Wilson Victoria Wilson, from California in the United States, will not just be missing Christmas celebrations at home. Christmas Day is also her birthday. The third year Queen's medicine student left NI in March, spending six months at her home near Los Angeles, before returning. \"I normally don't get homesick, I love adventure, I love to travel, I really enjoy Northern Ireland, but this year has been so strange,\" she said. \"It was a year I was really looking forward to going home for the holidays because I love Christmas, Thanksgiving, the new year, it's just a really festive time.\" Due to concerns about quarantine rules upon arriving into the UK post-Christmas, Victoria said it could be \"tricky\" with her university placements if she had to self-isolate. She said her father, who is a doctor, understands the situation and during placement she has gained her own experience of how local hospitals have handled the pandemic. \"The system is overworked and under strain and I think the public has a bit of coronavirus fatigue so it is frustrating to see people not take it as seriously as you would hope, but it has been wonderful to learn from doctors, nurses, physios, lab guys, in the midst of them taking care of patients with coronavirus.\" 'I miss mum's Christmas cake' - Esther George Esther George, from Sri Lanka, recently graduated with a master's degree in psychology on childhood adversity at Queen's University. Now interning for the university's Presbyterian chaplaincy, she said the main thing she will miss at Christmas is the food in her native Sri Lanka. She also misses having the opportunity to travel with friends. \"This is a different experience and I am quite an inquisitive person to experience new things,\" she said. \"One thing I will definitely miss is the Christmas cake that we make, my mum has a unique recipe. \"We still have virtual calls, so I don't miss family so much, but I would prefer to experience whatever is possible here, because this is probably my last Christmas away from home.\" Through her work in the chaplaincy, Esther said she is planning to organise walks, dinners and movie nights for international students \"to make sure they can get involved in some way\" around Christmas. But social distancing and limits on people gathering has made it difficult to reach out to students. \"Rather than complaining or looking at the negative side, I am just trying to look at the positives,\" said Esther. University plans Queen's University said more than 600 students, both home and international, have said they will be staying in its student accommodation over Christmas, with more living off-campus. Ahead of Christmas Day, a food box containing breakfast and a three-course meal will be offered at no charge. A carol concert, cook-along event and decoration-making is also on offer. Caroline Young, director of Student Plus at Queen's, said the university wanted to ensure that students who stay around campus \"have a positive experience and feel supported\". The university said it has been covering the cost of the PCR test (the Covid-19 test required for international travel), for those international students who decided they would like to travel. Ulster University (UU) said 114 international students have indicated they are remaining in Northern Ireland over the Christmas period. A spokesperson said virtual events and activities have been organised, including movie nights, quizzes and games nights, and staff will be there to provide support. UU students are also to receive a Christmas hamper and students living in private accommodation will receive a shopping voucher, tree decoration and chocolate.",

            "input": "By Kevin MageeBBC News NI Investigations Correspondent The 14-year-old Belfast boy went missing on 21 June 2020. His body was found in a storm drain in north Belfast six days later. He had drowned. It is understood the CCTV footage obtained by the BBC is one of 22 pieces of footage that recorded Noah's journey across Belfast the day he disappeared. Police said at the time they believed Noah may have sustained a head injury after falling off his bike in the vicinity of North Queen Street and York Street. The footage was recorded later on in Noah's journey on York Road and it appears to show Noah cycling on his bicycle in a normal way. The timings on CCTV pictures are not always precise. If accurate the time of day on the footage showing Noah on his bike near the Grove Wellbeing Centre is timed at 18:01 BST on 21 June 2020. According to police, the last confirmed sighting of Noah was at 18:11 close to the storm drain at the back of Northwood Road in north Belfast. While the CCTV timings suggest it took him 10 minutes to make the final leg of his journey, the distance can be made on bicycle in two and half minutes. It is not known what he was doing for the remainder of that time. There have been renewed calls for speculation about the death of the schoolboy to stop. In spite of assurances from the PSNI that there was no foul play - and praise from Belfast coroner Joe McCrisken for the north Belfast community who assisted the police - people living in the area have been targeted by anonymous online trolls - claiming the boys disappearance is part of a loyalist conspiracy. Belfast PUP Councillor Billy Hutchinson has called for the online abuse to stop. \"People - I don't know how to describe them - from the nationalist or republican community - started to make allegations about what happened to the young lad alluding that people in the loyalist community were behind this,\" he said. \"There was nobody in the loyalist community behind this. The loyalist community is behind Noah… and his mother.\" Unlocked storm drain hatch? More details have emerged on the access hatch to the storm drain which police believe he entered. Noah's body was found six days later a kilometre downstream. The cause of death was drowning. It is understood the hatch within the grille on the storm drain that allows access was not locked on the day Noah disappeared. According to a senior Department for Infrastructure source, the padlock currently on the grille was put there by officials on 24 June 2020 - after consultation with the police three days after the boy disappeared. The hatch was unlocked until then, sources said. When asked to confirm this, a DfI spokesperson said: \"The information that you have requested relates to ongoing police and coroner investigations. \"The department cannot release information into the public domain which would undermine the progress of such investigations. \"It will therefore not be possible to comment any further while these investigations are ongoing.\" Mystery remains as to why Noah was in the Northwood district in the first place and why he entered the storm drain. Politicians have called for more information. Last week Deputy First Minister Michelle O'Neill said on social media: \"Many questions remain unanswered. \"I will continue to support Fiona (Noah's mother) and the family to get answers to the questions surrounding the tragic loss of Noah.\" During a preliminary hearing ahead of the full inquest, Coroner Joe McCrisken said Noah wasn't seen interacting with anyone else at any of these sightings. He also appealed for an end to online speculation.",

            "input": "By Leo KelionTechnology reporter Originally the social network rejected calls from users to delete the clips saying that it wanted to \"preserve people's rights to describe, depict and comment on the world\". But after the BBC revealed that one of its own safety advisers - the head of the Family Online Safety Institute - had criticised its decision, the firm announced a U-turn, saying it would remove clips showing beheadings while it re-evaluated its rules. That potentially opens a can of worms. Since publishing the article, readers have contacted the BBC to complain about other videos, including: In all cases they said the network had refused their requests to remove the material. A spokeswoman for Facebook confirmed its policy had only been amended in regard to decapitations. But imposing stricter controls would open the firm up to other criticism. Before his death, internet freedom campaigner Aaron Swartz warned of the dangers of privately owned parts of the net limiting what was posted onto their sites. He called this \"corporate tyranny\" and named Facebook as a specific concern. The social network could not provide a date for when its review would be complete. The following range of opinions suggest it will struggle to please everyone. Richard Allan, Facebook More than a billion people express themselves and comment on the world in which we live through Facebook and most of the time this is entirely without problem. On occasions, there are concerns about some of the content that is being shared and we have put in place a reporting system so that people can tell us about this. The reported content is evaluated against our community standards and appropriate action is taken where our rules have been breached. When drawing up and enforcing our approach to acceptable behaviour and content on Facebook, we aim to strike the right balance between enabling people to share information, news and content - and protecting the community as a whole. This is a complex challenge as Facebook is a large, diverse community and we are continually presented with novel situations. While we freely admit that we do not always get it right, the trouble-free daily experience of the vast majority of Facebook users demonstrates that our systems are working well in all but the most exceptional cases and that they are improving over time. As we said last week, we are reviewing our rules related to content showing graphic violence. In doing so we are clear that there are situations where it is important for people to be able to share content through Facebook even if this can at times be quite shocking. For example, people caught up in violent incidents such as the recent Boston bombings or the ongoing conflict in Syria want to be able to report on their experiences and may use quite graphic content to do this. This illustrates the kind of challenge that our highly experienced team deals with on a daily basis as we strive to offer a space for sharing that is mindful of everyone's expectations. Celia Mellow, petition organiser As a person who holds a strong sense of justice, I had no hesitation in setting up a petition for the removal of the sickening decapitation video I was shocked to find on my Facebook news feed. What shocked me even more was the fact that I had to actually make a petition in any hope for the video to be removed. No matter how many times my friends and I reported it, we all received the same message, stating that \"it doesn't violate Facebook's community standard on graphic violence, which includes depicting harm to someone or something\". How does a video of an innocent woman being brutally murdered not \"violate\" this? I can only hope that there is a criminal investigation that will bring her justice. As a loyal Facebook fan, I understand that Facebook is only allowing people to have freedom of speech. However, I think it is about time they drew a line between what is and isn't appropriate for the public. Facebook's audience starts from children aged 13 - what I feared the most was that my younger sister could easily have witnessed that disgusting video. No-one should be exposed to such graphic horror. Sadly, that video isn't the only inappropriate content to have wandered onto Facebook recently. I have heard of others showing extreme violence and cruelty to both humans and animals. It's time that new stricter regulations are made by Facebook in order to remove these vile videos for good so that it might return to being the safe social network it used to be. Jeremie Zimmermann, La Quadrature du Net Any intervention by Facebook to remove or block access to content beyond what a court might order - while respecting basic fundamental rights and the principle of proportionality - would in practice amount to privatised censorship, and nobody has an interest in going there. A dominant, centralised actor such as Facebook would be incentivised to spend as little money as possible determining which content would be lawful or not, suitable or not, etc. This would raise the question of what criteria would be used. Opening such a breach would ensure that any government could pressure Facebook to consider their own criteria, whether for political, religious or other reasons. Under such conditions we can be sure that the fundamental right to freedom of speech or the right to a fair trial would not be respected. As surely as we cannot trust giant centralised corporations to defend our fundamental freedoms, we cannot ask them to become the judges and enforcers of what information should be shared online. Protecting children on the net is a responsibility of their parents in the first place. It cannot be outsourced to Facebook. It is a matter of educating them about the difference between between privacy, publicity and a circle of trust. Since Facebook collects and stores so much information it should be able to determine when one of its members is a minor and is about to be exposed to content that has been reported as unsuitable, and display a warning message. Users would then be free to choose to take that advice, or make a conscious choice to access the content. Stephen Balkam, Family Online Safety Institute (Fosi) Facebook, and most other social media sites, have explicit terms of service about what is and what is not acceptable to be hosted on their websites. Some go further and have created what are known as community standards. These more clearly state the rules about what kinds of content will be removed. Facebook, YouTube and Twitter have robust reporting mechanisms so that ordinary users can flag inappropriate or abusive content for review. What is challenging for these companies is how and where to draw the line. This will help them determine when to invoke the \"public interest\" principle in keeping material - such as images from the Boston Marathon bombing - up on their site, even though they depict graphic violence. This is new territory for us all as we navigate the rules, ethics and standards of user-generated content sites. Andrew McDiarmid, Center for Democracy & Technology The controversy over Facebook's treatment of shocking videos of beheadings is the latest illustration of the enormous complexity at work when it comes to promoting the exercise of human rights online. Billions of people rely on internet platforms to speak and access information in the networked public sphere, but the platforms are controlled by private companies, whose terms of service in large part determine the contours of free expression. In one sense, platform operators are themselves speakers that have the right to determine their own policies. At the same time, these \"digital sovereigns\" - to borrow a phrase from Rebecca MacKinnon - effectively govern their users' exercise of free expression rights. Platforms have a responsibility, particularly as they grow to Facebook-scale, to consider the human rights impact of their policies and to minimise restrictions on free expression. This is especially true with respect to government restrictions. It would be troubling indeed if government pressure precipitated the video's removal in this case. A key step in carrying out this responsibility is ensuring that content policies are clearly communicated and fairly applied. The horrific beheading video and Facebook's reported reaction demonstrate the challenges that arise when trying to develop and apply clear, consistent standards in the complex and multi-faceted realm of online communication. Context matters a great deal. Different companies might draw the line in different places, and just because something is offensive or disturbing does not mean it necessarily violates a particular term. And it certainly does not make it illegal. Because of this complexity, systems for assessing content require constant refinement to ensure that free expression is protected. Advocates, too, must remain vigilant that the private players that provide so much public value online are meeting their responsibilities to users. Is it complicated and prone to mistakes and close calls? Yes, but the alternative - mandated content policies and individual governments vying for control over the global internet - is untenable and fraught with risk for free expression. Dr Lynne Jordan, British Psychological Society The main concern, as an experienced psychologist, in working with the effects of actual and vicarious violence is a lack of awareness of violation of choice. Material is posted on news feeds and \"liked\" indiscriminately without thought as to the rights of under-aged youngsters and others who may view it. People, whether young or old, can be negatively affected by witnessing violence either on screen or in reality. Effects include trauma responses such as replaying the images, feeling scared and vulnerable, ashamed, invaded or violated and confused, as well as angry and helpless, which is reinforced via the news feed as these things pop up uninvited. Ethical codes are there for safety and to preserve the right to choose what is viewed when users are considered of age or able to understand the implications. Social media sites are mostly not obliged to adhere to such codes which creates a problem, particularly if they issue their own vague inadequate guidelines. Social networks' news feeds allow material to arrive on people's pages that might never be sought by choice. Extensive \"friendship lists\" develop with people who may not be actual friends but through casual contact get \"befriended\", perhaps out of obligation or a need to fit in, be liked etc. The material is often posted supposedly to prevent the spread of violent crime or other violations, but in fact it can inadvertently escalate it by sidestepping the consent of the people accessing the feeds. This is reminiscent of the \"ban smoking in public places\" debate with the concern of whose rights we are protecting. In that debate it was largely about public physical health. This debate concerns public mental health and wellbeing.",

            "input": "Simon Ford, 41, was one of 33 people convicted for being part of a drugs and money laundering operation. It followed a series of raids by police on properties in London, Surrey, Kent and Hertfordshire in 2008. Ford was jailed last year but reporting restrictions were imposed while 16 related trials were concluded. Southwark Crown Court heard the operation was run out of Royal Oak Taxis in Paddington, west London, an outwardly legitimate firm that rented and repaired black cabs. But behind the scenes was a massive operation for organised crime networks, estimated to have laundered between £70m and £80m. Cocaine on beach The man at the centre of the Royal Oak Taxis network was its owner, a 47-year-old middleman, Eyad Iktilat, who drove a Ferrari and a Bentley with personalised number plates. Among his customers was Ford who received a London Fire Brigade Gold Award for rescuing people after a bomb ripped apart a bus in Tavistock Square. But after the 7/7 attacks he suffered personal problems and became a cocaine user. He was caught at his flat in Chertsey, Surrey, with 110kg of cocaine which had just been landed on a beach in Kent. Police said drugs seized in the investigation had a street value of about £10m. As officers searched the flat dozens of phone calls were made to three pay-as-you-go mobile phones as worried criminal contacts tried to find out why the pair were running late. Ford was one of 22 people arrested when officers from the Metropolitan Police Special Intelligence Section (SIS), supported by more than 500 colleagues, raided the homes. The simultaneous raids, the largest conducted by British police, employed a mechanical digger to ram through a wall of one Uxbridge home and followed 10 months of surveillance and bugging. The investigation, known as Operation Eaglewood, began in April 2007 after undercover police officers followed two known drug smugglers as they met Iktilat. They discovered \"money mules\" brought bags of up to £500,000 cash to the taxi company for it to be converted into 500 euro notes via Euro Foreign Exchange (EFX), a corrupt currency exchange company in Paddington. Investigators found EFX manager Jean-Claude Frigieri, 56, bought hundreds of thousands of pounds-worth of 500 euro notes from a banknote wholesaler known as Interchange. British foreign exchange bureaux have since stopped selling the notes because of their use to organised criminals, who value the fact it is easy to conceal and smuggle them. Iktilat, 47, of Levita House, NW1, was sentenced to a total of 30 years having been convicted of five counts of money laundering and a series of drug offences and four counts of money laundering. The gang's main banker, Iraq-born Maythen Al Ansari, 42, was jailed for three years for money laundering after his home in Uxbridge, north-west London, was raided by police who used a digger to smash down a wall. The money laundering and drug distribution network was linked to up to 10 criminal gangs and had interests in Colombia, Spain, Israel, India, Dubai, Morocco and other north African states. Det Supt Steve Richardson said the operation dealt a \"huge blow\" to the British class A drugs industry. He said: \"These criminals had been living the lives of wealthy businessmen through their criminal activity. \"The lives they are now leading could not be more different.\" Two suspects, Carlos Tabares and Nicholas John \"Peter\" Tayler, are still wanted by police for offences including money laundering, drug trafficking and conspiracy to supply cocaine.

Archbishop of Wales Dr Barry Morgan said he was giving the protesters a chance to save the church. Campaigners said they could raise £1,000, but they disputed the repair costs, claiming they were £100,000. Dr Morgan said the Church in Wales could sell the building at that price provided it was kept as a place of worship. The parochial church council (PCC), which is made up of elected members from the three local churches of Maerdy, Ferndale and Tylorstown, had voted to close All Saints. The Maerdy branch abstained from the vote over the church's future. 'Great opportunity' The PCC has refused to give the church a year's reprieve, and the archbishop has refused to overrule that decision because it had been taken by a democratically-elected body. But on Friday the Church in Wales confirmed it was now offering the church for just £1,000. Dr Morgan said: \"I am giving the protesters in Maerdy exactly what they are asking for - a chance to save All Saints Church from closure. \"They are confident they can raise enough money to restore and maintain it and now they will only have to find an extra £1,000 to buy it. \"It's a great opportunity for them as the community would then own the building and the land and its future would be in their hands.\" 'Dry and wet rot' The archbishop, who made the offer to sell the church at a PCC meeting in Tylorstown on 19 July, before accompanying protesters to All Saints, said it was \"a sad situation\" to see any church close. The Church in Wales said the church was valued at £25,000, and the £1,000 it was asking would simply cover its costs in handling the sale. However, Sarah Morton of the church campaigners Friends of All Saints said the repairs would only cost £100,000. She said: \"We've had a survey carried out and the architect and surveyor who visited the church said there was nowhere near £400,000 worth of repairs. \"They said £100,000 would secure the roof and solve the dry and wet rot problems.\" \"We can raise the £1,000, but will need to start fundraising towards the repair costs. \"We're appealing for donations from building firms and tradesmen who might be able to work for free or for a lower fee, and we'll have to come up with fundraising ideas.\"",

It could also involve stopping someone from socialising, controlling their social media accounts, surveillance through apps and dictating what they wear. Alison Saunders, the director of public prosecutions, said: \"Controlling or coercive behaviour can limit victims' basic human rights, such as their freedom of movement and their independence. \"This behaviour can be incredibly harmful in an abusive relationship where one person holds more power than the other, even if on the face of it this behaviour might seem playful, innocuous or loving. \"Victims can be frightened of the repercussions of not abiding by someone else's rules. Often they fear that violence will be used against them, or suffer from extreme psychological and emotional abuse. \"These new powers mean this behaviour, which is particularly relevant to cases of domestic abuse, can now be prosecuted in its own right.\" Analysis BBC legal correspondent Clive Coleman Where do the normal power dynamics of a relationship end and \"coercive or controlling\" behaviour begin? The new offence criminalises patterns of such behaviour against an intimate partner or family member. Critical to the offence is the repeated or continuous nature of the conduct and the ability of a reasonable person to appreciate that the behaviour will have a serious effect on its victim. A defence is also included to provide a further safeguard against inappropriate use of the new offence. It will apply where the defendant can show that they believed they were acting in the victim's best interests and that their behaviour was objectively reasonable. An example might be someone caring for a mentally ill spouse, who has to keep them in the home and make them take medication for their own protection or in their own best interests. Here, the spouse's behaviour might be considered controlling, but would be reasonable in the circumstances. Cases will be heard in magistrates' or crown courts and evidence could potentially include emails and bank records. In order for the offence to apply, the pattern of behaviour alleged must have a \"serious effect\" on the victim, Home Office guidance says. This means they must have either feared violence will be used against them on at least two occasions or they have been caused serious alarm or distress which has a \"substantial adverse effect\" on their usual day-to-day activities. David Tucker, from the College of Policing, said the new offence of coercive control presented \"challenges\" but provided an opportunity to make victims and potential victims of serious assaults safer.",

            "input": "By Joanne SilbernerPRI's The World Dr Jackson Orem is on the front line of the change. He directs the Uganda Cancer Institute - the only dedicated cancer treatment facility in a country of 33 million people. He's a busy man, but he makes time to see patients like Musa Settimba. Settimba is in for a check-up. He has something called Gist, a type of gastrointestinal cancer that is often fatal, even in the West. Orem has arranged for Settimba to get a very effective and costly new cancer drug free of charge, courtesy of the manufacturer. There's paperwork involved, and drugs for only a few cancers are available this way. It's a godsend for Settimba, who has been doing very well. \"You are getting one of the best treatments for this disease,\" a smiling Orem tells his patient. Unfortunately, Settimba is the rare exception. The survival rate for patients who make it to the Uganda Cancer Institute is astonishingly low. It treats about 22,000 patients a year, and of those, 20,000 die within a year. Orem says most Ugandans don't have a real concept of cancer as a set of diseases that can be diagnosed and treated. In some tribal languages, there is no word for it. \"They don't have early diagnosis. They don't actually even know that they have cancer,\" he says. And most don't see the value of seeking care. \"Once you are diagnosed with cancer, they think that it's already a death sentence.\" They're partly right. Most people don't see a doctor until the very last stages of cancer. At that point, no hospital anywhere could do much for them. Orem studied oncology in the US and returned to Uganda to head the government-owned cancer institute in 2004. For several years, he was the only oncologist in the country. Orem doesn't complain about the hard work, but some things make him cringe. One of them is a comment he's heard expressed by people from developed countries - that cancer doesn't hit poor people. \"People think that malaria kills [and] other diseases are killing people from a low socio-economic status. But cancer is the same,\" he says. \"The truth of the matter is that cancer is a disease of the African person just like any other person elsewhere in the world.\" The misconception affects funding. \"When you ask for funding for cancer, nobody is going to give [it to] you,\" Orem says. \"But if you ask for funding for these other diseases, they say, 'All right, your priority is correct, we are going to give you some funds.'\" There is also a perception that cancer is too expensive to treat, and treatment is too hi-tech to be done in poor countries. Orem says that's not necessarily true - surgery and chemotherapy, for example, don't require million-dollar machines. The result is that the amount of money available for cancer care in the developing world is only a fraction of the sums spent on HIV, TB and malaria. \"I think donors have been asleep,\" says Richard Horton, editor of the medical journal The Lancet. \"It's an appalling example of neglect.\" He blames donors who regard cancers caused by tobacco or obesity as the patient's fault, and not worthy of aid. At the same time, he acknowledges that HIV, TB and malaria have created an overwhelming burden. \"It's been hard to see anything through that fog of death,\" he says. But as the HIV, TB and malaria numbers come down, things may change. \"The clearing of the mist as a result of those successes has left [the cancer epidemic] in view,\" Horton says. Last year, the UN urged that more be done to detect and treat cancer in the developing world. George and Laura Bush recently toured Africa to bring attention to breast and cervical cancer. Orem, meanwhile, takes heart from changes in Uganda, where the government is putting up a modern 200-bed cancer hospital on a hill above the dilapidated one-storey tin-roofed buildings of the cancer institute. He also has the help, now, of five Ugandan cancer specialists trained at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle. \"People are much more receptive to our messages than before,\" he says. \"It looks like we are beginning to make an inroad.\" In Haiti, the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere, one NGO has found a different way to make an inroad in the treatment of cancer - through primary care. Zanmi Lasante, together with Boston-based Partners in Health, focuses on breast and cervical cancers - the most common cancers among Haitian women - at a clinic in the little town of Cange. It has treatment rooms, chemotherapy and an operating theatre. Dr Ruth Damuse says the biggest problem with breast cancer is that, just as in Uganda, women come in late, long after they've noticed the initial lump. About half the women with breast cancer die, she estimates, and many sufferers don't come in at all. The clinic does what it can, and where it can't do much, it offers palliative care. Earlier this year, on International Women's Day, Damuse went to a rally to preach early diagnosis. She took the podium and asked the crowd a question: \"Which cancer most affects women?\" The crowd murmured. No-one knew. \"We're going to talk about breast cancer,\" she continued. She showed pictures of breast cancer patients with tumours breaking out of their chests. She told the women how to check themselves for suspicious lumps and explained how treatment makes a difference. The women near me said it was all new to them. Treatment is also a challenge. There are no oncologists at the clinic, so the staff make a weekly phone call to the Dana Farber Cancer Institute in Boston. Before the call, they send patients' medical histories, lab results and what X-rays are available to Larry Shulman, head of the institute. He reviews the records, then gets on the phone. In Haiti, a primary care physician, oncology nurse and several others gather around a speakerphone in a simple stucco house near the hospital. During one recent call, seven patients were up for discussion. One woman had had a breast removed last autumn, but the cancer returned. Shulman suggested a different kind of chemotherapy. Another young woman had had a breast lump removed. In developed countries, women who get lumpectomies generally get weeks of daily radiation treatments as well. But the Haitian clinic doesn't have any way to administer radiation. So Shulman suggested a full breast removal. \"She needs to go back and have a mastectomy,\" Shulman said over the phone. \"Then she needs five years of tamoxifen.\" Tamoxifen pills cost just pennies a day, affordable even in Haiti. Cancer surgery, chemotherapy and after-care can be costly, however. Partners in Health and Zanmi Lasante provide this free of charge and rely on donors to cover costs. Sara Stulac, the head of Partners in Health's cancer programme, admits that her team is taking on a big challenge. \"I think some people would say we shouldn't [tackle cancer], but the fact is people are suffering and dying,\" she says. \"We can't save all of them, and we can't save the same group of patients with the same group of diagnoses that we can in the US. But there is so much suffering that we can avoid, and there are so many cancers that we can treat.\" Stulac points to another disease as evidence. People used to say that Aids drugs were too costly and too difficult to deliver in developing countries, yet millions of people with HIV in places such as Uganda and Haiti are now being saved. Stulac says there's no reason that can't happen with cancer. This series of reports is by PRI's The World with support from the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting.

Company directors have not responded to a BBC request for comment. The Insolvency Service has confirmed a petition has been lodged in the High Court of Justice for leaseholders Wroxall Abbey Estate Ltd to be wound up, to be heard in November. Ms Dye and Ms Atwood, of Bulkington, were due to get married at the venue in January. They believe they have lost more than £7,500 which was paid to the venue when they booked their wedding in April. The couple visited the hotel the weekend before it shut to taste their wedding menu but said they were given no indication anything was wrong. \"We've got friends who have all booked a room via a debit card...I'm angry that someone can do this,\" said Ms Dye. Mr Jones and Ms Coley, from Marston Green, said they booked a Peaky Blinders-themed ceremony and celebration at the venue for Christmas 2020 two years ago and paid \"a four figure sum\". \"To be quite honest we still don't know where we stand... there are a lot more people who I'm willing to bet don't even know,\" Mr Jones said. One former staff member, who did not want to be named, said employees were told the hotel was closing at a meeting on 7 October. \"We had absolutely no idea this was going to happen and we're all devastated by it,\" the source added.

Labour's shadow housing minister John Healey said: \"It's not fair. These are the people that this stamp duty relief should be there for and it isn't.\" What is shared ownership? Shared ownership helps people who can't afford to buy a house outright. It allows you to buy a share in the house and then pay rent on the rest. You can then increase your share, by buying more of the house as time goes on. There are around 200,000 shared ownership properties in the UK. First time buyers qualify as long as their household earns less than £80,000, or £90,000 in London. There are some different rules in Northern Ireland and Scotland. What is stamp duty? Stamp duty is the tax you must pay if you buy a house in England, Northern Ireland or Wales. In its last budget, the government scrapped stamp duty for first-time buyers purchasing a home of up to £300,000. It also reduced stamp duty for properties costing up to £500,000. As a result the average first-time buyer would save about £1,700. Do you pay stamp duty on the shared ownership scheme? Thousands of first-time buyers using shared ownership scheme may miss out on the stamp duty exemption. That's because stamp duty is calculated on the property's full value, not the share being bought. So, if you were buying a 50% share in a £500,000 home you would still have to pay stamp duty. That amount you would have to pay would be £10,000. This is a particular problem in places with high property prices, like London. What do Labour want to change? Labour's housing minister John Healey wants all first-time buyers using the shared ownership scheme to qualify for the stamp duty exemption. \"I want to see them (the government) applying to shared ownership, the same rules as they apply to people buying a full house for the first time,\" he told Newsbeat. \"It's inconsistent. It's not fair. These are precisely the people that this stamp duty relief should be there for and it isn't.\" What does the government say? The government argues it already gives \"special stamp duty treatment\" to shared ownership purchases. Buyers on the scheme can make a one-off stamp duty payment based on the total value of the property. Or they can pay stamp duty in stages. So what does that mean? Before the budget, if a first-time buyer wanted to buy a £500,000 house outright they would have to pay £15,000 in stamp duty. That has now been cut to £10,000. But a first-time buyer on a shared ownership scheme buying part of a property valued at the same price would also have to pay £10,000 upfront. That's despite them only buying a share of the house which could well fall way under the £300,000 stamp duty exemption. This is a problem for many on the shared ownership scheme who struggle to raise the initial cash for homeownership - such as the deposit and stamp duty costs.

Its findings led the WHO to suspend its testing on the anti-malaria drug. But leaders including US President Donald Trump continue to tout its use. Surgisphere chief executive Sapan Desai, the study's fourth author, told The Guardian newspaper he would co-operate with an independent audit but said transferring the data would \"violate client agreements and confidentiality requirements\". What did the study say? Research for the article, published last month in medical journal The Lancet, involved 96,000 coronavirus patients across 671 hospitals worldwide. Nearly 15,000 were given hydroxychloroquine - or a related form, chloroquine - either alone or with an antibiotic. It concluded that the drug showed no benefits against coronavirus and increased the risk patients developing irregular heart rhythms and dying. Mandeep Mehra, a Harvard University professor who led the study, together with Frank Ruschitzka of the University Hospital Zurich and Amit Patel of the University of Utah, said in a statement that they had tried to arrange for a third-party peer review of the data, but Surgisphere had refused to co-operate. \"We deeply apologize to you, the editors, and the journal readership for any embarrassment or inconvenience that this may have caused,\" the group added. Is there any evidence the drug works against coronavirus? There is concern in the scientific community about using such drugs to treat coronavirus. Hydroxychloroquine is safe for treating malaria, and conditions like lupus or arthritis, but so far no clinical trials have recommended it for use against Covid-19. Results from one clinical trial at the University of Minnesota have shown that hydroxychloroquine is not effective at preventing coronavirus. The WHO said on 3 June that it would resume its trials after halting them last month. Other studies are also taking place in several countries including the UK, US and Senegal. In March, the US Food and Drug Administration granted an \"emergency use\" authorisation for its use on a limited number of hospitalised cases. But the following month, it issued a warning about its use because of reports of heart problems in some patients. Why has it gained prominence? Despite concerns for its safety and efficacy, US President Donald Trump revealed in May that he was taking hydroxychloroquine as a preventative measure against Covid-19, but later said he'd stopped. Mr Trump has repeatedly referred to its potential. At a press conference in April, he said: \"What do you have to lose? Take it.\" Following Mr Trump's comments, there was a sharp increase reported in prescriptions in the US for both hydroxychloroquine and the related drug, chloroquine. Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro has also claimed in a video that \"hydroxychloroquine is working in all places.\" This was removed by Facebook for breaching its misinformation guidelines. There has also been a global surge in demand for them.",

Mr Elsey, the third person to be held in the inquiry, is believed to be known to 19-year-old Gaia, who went missing from the town on Tuesday, 7 November. A search is continuing in an area where items of women's clothing were found earlier, Dorset Police said. Mr Elsey lives at the same property as his mother Rosemary Dinch, 71, who along with her 19-year-old grandson, Nathan Elsey, were arrested on suspicion of murdering Ms Pope on Monday. The pair were released on Tuesday while inquiries continue. Det Supt Paul Kessell said the clothing was found on land near the Dorset coast path and \"a number of vehicles\" had also been seized. The officer said it was not clear who the clothes belonged to but they were \"similar\" to those which Gaia was wearing. He added Gaia's family had been informed of the developments and were being supported. She was last seen nine days ago by family friend Ms Dinch in Swanage. Since Gaia's disappearance, extensive searches have been carried out in and around the resort, involving police, coastguard teams and local volunteers. Asked why the latest suspect had been arrested on suspicion of murder, Mr Kessell said: \"As you would expect, we have been conducting this inquiry for two weeks and it is our responsibility to investigate every avenue of inquiry that's open to us. \"In doing that, we continue to investigate whether Gaia has come to harm through an act of crime or whether she is missing and we will continue to do so.\" He appealed directly to the public to come forward if they have any information or have had any contact with Gaia since she went missing. Gaia, who has severe epilepsy, is thought to have gone missing without her medication. Earlier, her father Richard Sutherland told the BBC the support from the community in the search had been \"heart warming\". \"It's been beautiful, it keeps us going.

In Cardiff, for example, about 63% of pupils in Welsh-medium schools come from homes where no Welsh is spoken. On top of anxiety about coronavirus and general concern about education, some parents are worried their children's Welsh language skills will suffer. Debbie from Cardiff is one of them. She is learning Welsh, but feels she does not know enough to help her two young sons, Riley, eight, and Harley five, with their school work. \"I can only help them in English and I'm worried they'll fall behind with their Welsh language skills, compared to the kids who get Welsh at home every day,\" she said. She said the boys had been watching a lot of Cyw children's programmes on S4C and playing games on Duolingo and other apps. But she wishes they could do more. Ceri Anwen James, assistant headteacher at Ysgol Gyfun Bro Edern, in Penylan, Cardiff, said: \"We know that the vast majority of our parents don't speak Welsh. \"When they made the decision, many moons ago, to educate their child through the medium of Welsh, they hardly thought that one day their child would be educated in Welsh from their kitchen or lounge, due to a pandemic lockdown, with them having to navigate the intricacies of a Welsh-medium curriculum.\" She said the school had tried to keep tasks as straightforward as possible and given pupils plenty of links and activities to stay in touch with the Welsh language. \"It's essential that they have as much contact as possible with the Welsh language while they are away from school,\" he said. To help parents like Debbie, a number of Welsh-speaking parents and others have come forward to help by developing new content to ensure children can have fun at home, as well as do their school work in Welsh. Ukulele lessons Cardiff-based musician Mei Gwynedd has started ukulele lessons on his YouTube channel every Tuesday and Thursday morning. \"I think music should be available for everyone,\" he said, adding that he's trying to secure funding to provide subtitles to help non-Welsh speaking families follow along as well. Illustration Cartoonist Huw Aaron provides daily videos to help kids get creative every weekday on YouTube. He said he was motivated partly by his worry about how the lockdown could affect non-Welsh-speaking families. \"If there's no fun, interesting content for kids in Welsh, they might not hear the language much at all for.... months?\" \"I hope that five or 10 minutes of following simple instructions on how to illustrate a monkey or robots might be helpful to families with long empty days ahead of them for who knows how long.\" Keeping fit Joe Wicks might be calling himself the UK's PE teacher, but Rae Carpenter from Ffit Cymru on S4C is trying to challenge him. She's doing daily sessions at 09:00 BST. For children who prefer to exercise in the afternoon, Lleucu Ifans posts her Facebook videos at 13:00 BST. \"If anything positive comes out of this, it's that kids will have sport as part of their daily life,\" she said. \"I just want to keep everyone moving, not just children.\" Welsh lessons for families Aran Jones from Say Something in Welsh spotted the need to help parents early on during the coronavirus crisis, and started new daily lessons to help families learn Welsh together called Bedtime Welsh. \"We have two-minute lessons on the phone, and videos on our YouTube channel. We're keeping it quite short and hope families have fun doing it,\" he said. \"We have at least 300 involved on our Slack group at the moment. Anyone's free to join in.\" Mr Jones has since started a new venture to help teach the Welsh national anthem by asking famous faces to take part in the video lessons. S4C and BBC S4C has gathered all of its educational children's programmes together to create Ysgol Cyw so that parents can be assured their children are watching educational programmes at home. The BBC has a variety of educational material available in Welsh too, including Bitesize.

Indeed, the economic impact of this package of several billion pounds is likely to be far outweighed, even by this week's announcement that the UK faces a six-month \"new normal\" of social restrictions. The sight of Chancellor Rishi Sunak flanked by the Trade Unions Congress and the Confederation of British Industry bosses at Number 11 was meant to show the country that a non-ideological innovation to protect livelihoods was on the way. It is an echo of German Chancellor Angela Merkel locking the heads of the equivalent organisations in a hotel for two days in order to come up with the \"short-time work\" policy, upon which the new jobs support scheme is based. It will be possible to claim the coronavirus job retention bonus for reemploying furloughed workers, too. It has been tailored for the UK's more flexible jobs market. The chancellor has kept a careful eye on schemes from all around the world. But the size of the scheme also reflects the phenomenal amount of borrowing that the government has done, and will continue to have to do, in terms of lost tax revenue as the recovery is subdued by ongoing restrictions. Funding conditions for government remain benign. But the Treasury is keeping an eye on how sensitive the public finances are now to even a small increase in market interest rates. The Treasury has extended the bridge of support it put in place in March to cover the next six months. But the new scheme requires everybody to chip in. That will be too much for many employers.

He told the Conservative conference those needing a cash advance would get one within five days - or on the same day in emergency cases. But he said he was committed to the system and its rollout would go ahead. A dozen or so Conservative MPs have called for the rollout of Universal Credit, which merges six existing benefits into one, to be put on hold because of the financial difficulties facing people arising from the transition from weekly or fortnightly to monthly payments. Official figures show 24% of new Universal Credit claimants wait longer than six weeks to be paid in full - causing many to fall behind on rent. The government has insisted the vast majority of claimants were paid in full and on time, and are comfortable managing their money. Analysis by Michael Buchanan, social affairs correspondent Claimants will now be able to get some money on the day they make a claim and ministers want more people to apply for an advance - rather than waiting at least six weeks for their first Universal Credit payment Advance Payments are a loan. Claimants for Universal Credit can apply for a proportion of their expected award to be paid to them before their first full payment. They have always been a part of the Universal Credit system but many people have claimed they weren't made aware of them. The advance payment is automatically taken out of any subsequent Universal Credit payment over a number of months until the total amount is paid off. Mr Gauke told party conference in Manchester that the shake-up of the benefit system was \"working\", giving people more incentives to seek employment and helping people in work secure better-paid jobs. He insisted that its rollout to more JobCentres across the UK would continue on the present timetable, with the aim of it being fully implemented by 2022. But he said the rollout would not be \"rushed\" and he had listened to concerns about how some new claimants were finding it hard to make ends meet. 'Proactive help' \"I am determined to ensure that those who need support earlier in the month will get it,\" he said. \"I can announce today that we are refreshing the guidance to DWP staff to ensure that anyone who needs an advance payment will be offered it up-front. \"Claimants who want an advance payment will not have to wait six weeks. They will receive this advance within five working days. And if someone is in immediate need, then we fast track the payment, meaning they will receive it on the same day.\" The Child Poverty Action Group welcomed cash support for families with children but said wider concerns over the design, implementation and funding of Universal Credit were not being addressed. \"It does not make sense to pretend that having no income for six weeks won't harm them,\" said its chief executive Alison Garnham. And housing associations said they still had real concerns about how families on low incomes would cope. \"DWP must help people make and manage claims effectively and swiftly,\" said Sue Ramsden, from the National Housing Federation. \"The money should be made available on request rather than be dependent on claimants having to demonstrate need.\"",

Children under 16 and full-time students would travel for half-price. A spokesperson for the Department of Infrastructure (DOI) said the changes to fares would include \"foot passenger fares being frozen until a new vessel replaces the Ben-my-Chree, and 450,000 special offer fares being made available each year, compared to 275,000 under the current deal\". \"In addition, children under 16 and students in full-time education will be able to travel at half-price adult fare, while higher weekend prices will not apply between 1 October and 31 March, saving up to £50 on a car-plus-two booking,\" he added.

The new agreement, which will be debated by Tynwald later this month, would be signed in May and come into force on 1 January. It would then be reviewed every five years.

Property prices have been rising in south east Wales as Bristol workers \"capitalise\" on lower house prices in Monmouthshire before the tolls reduce. But there is a warning lower tolls may hit shops and firms near the border. There is widespread public approval of a reduction in the bridge tolls when it returns to public ownership next year and all assembly parties and local Welsh councils want tolls scrapped altogether but it's a \"wake-up\" Chepstow's High Street traders. Retailers have been reminded lower bridge fees would make the Cribbs Causeway retail park 20 minutes drive away in Bristol - which is to expand by 50% and include a new shops and an indoor ski centre - \"easier accessible and more tempting\". Businesses in Chepstow, a town which has expanded since the first bridge landed on its outskirts in 1966, should be \"concerned\" workers may be able to find higher paid jobs in the booming Bristol market once the \"subconscious toll bridge barrier\" is removed. Bristol is the UK's fastest growing economy outside of London and its house prices are the fastest growing in the country so Chepstow is starting to become Bristol's overspill. Housing Local estate agent figures show 80% of house buyers in south Monmouthshire are from Bristol. They say the promised bridge toll reduction is already having an affect with commuters from the other side of the River Severn already looking for a cheaper option to Bristol's expensive property market. But the warning for Monmouthshire is unintentional gentrification and freezing out local residents who may not be able to afford the inflated house prices. \"The only people who soon won't be able to compete with the prices in Monmouthshire are the locals,\" said Charlie Heaven, owner of Crown Estate Agents. \"Southern Monmouthshire is fast becoming a commuter belt for Bristol. Houses are in huge demand. In fact, there aren't enough houses.\" Monmouthshire council's planning department has more than 1,000 new homes in the south of the county on its desk, with major sites at Chepstow's old dockyard and near its hospital as well as a big development in Undy. In eastern Newport, near the proposed M4 relief road route, a 4,000-home development on the old Llanwern steelworks site has started. Monmouthshire has the highest weekly average wage in Wales but statistics show most actually work outside of the county - and according to the 2011 census, 20% of Chepstow's commuters work in the Bristol area. \"It's such an accessible area for Bristol, London and obviously south Wales,\" added Mr Heaven. \"And add to that the beautiful countryside, houses in south Monmouthshire aren't staying on the market long these days.\" Mr Heaven also gave an example of medical migration that is also appealing to some potential house buyers. \"One client had £200 worth of prescriptions in England,\" he said. \"But in Wales, they'd be free. That's a big potential saving when the bridge toll is halved.\" Retail 'needs help' Chepstow is less than 15 miles on motorways from the 130 stores at the Cribbs Causeway shopping development - and that mall is expected to become one of Britain's top 10 biggest malls by 2021. And while shoppers in Chepstow seem to universally welcome easier - and cheaper - access to an expanded Cribbs Causeway, the town's small High Street has been warned to \"help themselves survive\". Yet Chepstow retail's future \"needs help\" as with the Valuation Office Agency's recent rate revaluation has hit Monmouthshire hard as the county is looking at an overall 11% hike, the highest in Wales. \"It is a mistake to think Chepstow can go head to head with Cribbs Causeway,\" said councillor Armand Watts, who runs a hairdressers in the town. \"We need niche shops and sell ourselves as being something different rather than being some homogenized shopping mall where you can see anywhere across the country.\" Mike Lewis, of Chepstow's Chamber of Trade, thinks a bridge toll reduction coupled with a proposed £300m expansion of Cribbs Causeway - with a new anchor store and indoor ski slope - should spark Chepstow's traders into a fight for their retail survival. \"That will have an impact on Chepstow and is a wake up call,\" he said. \"We all need to work together to make us more attractive. An expanded Cribbs will be a big temptation for shoppers. We need to keep people in the town. We can't let Chepstow die. \"But we need a little help to diversify as if the rate reviews are hiked to the ridiculous levels that are threatened, with Cribbs on our doorstep, it's ridiculous to think all traders can survive.\" Monmouthshire council has already called on the Welsh Government to intervene in the rate review row as some traders claim they face increases of up to 200-300%. 'Gap in salaries' Even the temptation of being able to cut his £15,000 budget for bridge tolls is not enough for one of Chepstow's construction companies to impulsively welcome a reduction in the Severn tolls. Christopher Rowell, managing director of Architen Landrell construction firm, fears he could lose some of his 12 staff to higher paid jobs in the booming Bristol economy if the \"subconscious barrier\" of the Severn tolls are reduced. \"My concern, especially if they completely scrap the tolls, is there will be a gap in salaries paid here in Chepstow and the wage they could earn in the Bristol market,\" he said. \"And that would be the worry for many businesses in this area, there could be a brain drain towards Bristol and so Chepstow's people money is, subsequently, more likely to be spent over the bridge. \"The flip side to all that is that companies that are currently based in Bristol and on Severnside, might look to Wales and see the lower rates, lower rent and lower wages and decide to relocate to an M4/M48 corridor that all of a sudden looks more attractive.\" Mr Rowell's family company designed the roof for London 2012's Olympic swimming pool and centrepiece structures for the worldwide stadium tours of rock bands U2 and Rolling Stones. \"Clearly a toll reduction would instantly make savings to our costs,\" he added. \"But I can see some disadvantages to our local economy in Chepstow for retailers and industry when the subconscious barrier of the tolls have been reduced. Lower rates, rent and wages Chepstow, home to one of Britain's oldest stone castles and once a strategic Roman crossing point across the River Wye, was once regarded as the entrance to south Wales. But it is still the biggest town in south Monmouthshire and home to a hospital that serves the southern half of the county's 92,000 inhabitants. \"It doesn't just need more houses but much better infrastructure,\" said local councillor Armand Watts. \"Chepstow Hospital must improve the services it provides, like having an A&E or minor injuries unit. \"We don't have enough schools to cope with the forecasted local development plan. And we need better access as Chepstow is already busy and a bypass has been talked about for about 20 years.\" Mr Watts insisted Chepstow's four doctor's surgeries - two on the Welsh side and two on the English side - are \"reaching capacity\". \"Superfast broadband and improved mobile phone coverage is also essential,\" he added. \"If we want to be a county fit for the 21st Century, these are just the basics. We're still a little bit in the dark ages.\"",

City MP Stewart Jackson said the council's decision was \"disappointing\" and he raised the issue in the Commons. Landlord Stef & Philips has not responded to requests for comment. Tenant Tony Roberts said the deal was \"ripping apart a little community\" and it would \"just move people around\" rather than solve homelessness. The Tesco worker was initially told he had to be out of the two-bed house he shares with his wife by 17 November, but Stef & Philips has now told him he can stay until the end of his contract in April. The council's director for communities Adrian Chapman said the London-based company had confirmed in writing that \"about 10 authorities would be interested in placing their homeless people\" at St Michael's Gate, so Peterborough City Council accepted the deal as a means of housing its own homeless. The Conservative council is paying nearly £1m a year to house homeless people, which includes putting up some families at the city's Travelodge. The authority's scrutiny committee took a vote on the deal after Liberal Democrat councillor Darren Fower asked for the \"terrible situation\" to be reconsidered. It was approved with a casting vote from Conservative chair of the committee Steve Allen, who said Stef & Philips' business model \"stunk of fish\". Mr Chapman said the authority will help the tenants find new accommodation. Stef & Philips was set up as an estate agent in north London in 2005 and entered the social housing market in 2012. Hannah Olsson, political reporter, BBC Radio Cambridgeshire \"Stuck between a rock and a hard place\" was the phrase that struck me from last night's meeting. The council say they have been put in a difficult position by the owners of St Michael's Gate because if they don't take them up on the deal there are plenty of other local authorities that will. If that is the case, it raises bigger questions about the amount of money that property companies are able to make from deals like this, and also why there is a growing number of homeless people coming to councils for assistance. But of course those questions take time to answer, and won't help the residents of St Michael's Gate, some of whom face being turfed out of their homes before Christmas.",

            "input": "By Shivaani KohokBBC World Service The World Health Organisation has now officially recognised burnout as an occupational phenomenon, describing it as a \"syndrome resulting from chronic workplace stress that has not been successfully managed\". It is characterised by feelings of exhaustion, negativism or cynicism related to one's job and poor performance. However, it can be hard for people to understand what's wrong. \"I think it's quite difficult to identify your own signs of burnout. People close to you, or managers, are very good at identifying it from the other side,\" says Dr Rachel Morris, a GP who, over 15 years, saw many patients who were ill because of workplace stress. She says patients suffering from burnout may become unsure of themselves, feel cynical, hopeless or detached, stop eating properly, and feel continually tired. They may also feel angry or resentful about work, or towards colleagues and friends. \"When people start going off sick from work with back pain, gastroenteritis or migraines, often they might be burnt out,\" says Dr Morris. What is wrong with me? If you think you might be suffering from burnout, ask yourself the following questions: If you answered 'Yes' to any of these questions, it might be time for change. They were devised for the UK Practitioner Health Programme and are a good starting point for all workers to identify if they are at risk of burning out. Burnout builds up over quite a long period of time, maybe over six to 18 months. Dr Jacky Francis Walker is a psychotherapist and the author of The Burnout Bible. She specialises in treating patients with burnout. \"Typically, people will come and they will be bewildered about why they suddenly can't do what they used to be able to do. All of a sudden it's like they've lost their magic,\" she says. People might find themselves in 'survival mode', where they don't have the same kind of creative or expressive range they had before. Burnout is significantly different from stress, says Dr Walker. \"Stress, simply put, is when the demands on you are greater than the resources you have to bring to the situation. These resources can be psychological, resilience and resources of time and capability.\" Human beings need a little bit of pressure to perform. But once we reach peak performance and peak pressure, and the pressure keeps on increasing, the performance starts to drop. Not just for high-flyers There's a myth that burnout only affects either career high-flyers, or that someone has to dislike what they do - but that is not the case, says Dr Morris. \"People think you only burn out if you hate your job, but that's not true. I personally have seen a lot of stress amongst teachers, doctors, lawyers, city traders, accountants, solicitors. People who are generally high-achievers and perfectionists might suffer more, as these people tend to get a lot of value from their work identity.\" And burnout doesn't only affect people at work - those with caring responsibilities in the home can also be severely affected. \"Caring for children or elderly relatives - sometimes with disabilities - are people who could be classified as being severely burnt out. These patients are completely exhausted, and might experience 'compassion fatigue' which implies a lack of empathy,\" says Dr Walker. Burnout is often seen as something to be ashamed of. \"There is quite a stigma around admitting to burn out,\" says Dr Walker. \"A lot of people think, 'If I can't get back up, there's something wrong with me. I'm not up to it. I'm weak. I can't handle it.'\" Not enough hours in a day Dr Rachel Morris has developed a programme to help with employees' well-being. \"There are things we can all do to reduce our own risk of burnout,\" she says. \"One is to boost our levels of resilience. This means we're able to respond to stress in a healthy way and can bounce back after challenges and grow stronger in the process.\" Morris says it's important to make time for activities that increase our sense of wellbeing, such as doing exercise, connecting with people or catching up on sleep. \"When work becomes too demanding our natural reaction is to give up doing things we enjoy doing and we get sucked into the 'busyness vortex'\", says Dr Morris. \"It's really difficult to make massive changes, so people can start with small things, like go for a five-minute walk at lunch time or meet a friend for coffee.\" She says another problem is that people who are very stressed tend to focus on things they can't control. Focusing only on what they can control helps bring stress levels down - Dr Morris calls this the \"zone of power\". Prioritising, rather than cramming more and more into an already packed schedule, is also important, says Dr Morris. She has designed a grid to help employees distinguish between the important and the urgent tasks, and discard those which aren't relevant. Toxic work culture \"A lot of people in high-pressure jobs think it's normal to feel stressed, but it's not. It's really bad for our health and we need to get over this myth,\" says Morris. However, she stresses that employers also need to take more responsibility and look at practices which can help people strike the right work-life balance and avoid burnout. Entrepreneurs and millennials working in the digital and technology industry experience a lot of change, as well as job cuts, but are under pressure to keep performing. The fluid nature of many careers is also a problem. Nowadays, we are reachable 24/7 and there are downsides to it - we never truly get to switch off and turn our brains off. A 2018 Gallup Study of 7,500 full-time US employees found that around two-thirds of them experienced burnout at work. Causes of burnout included: Dr Walker believes toxic work culture is probably one of the greatest sources of work stress. At a time when companies are under pressure to cut costs, more is expected from fewer employees. She feels this is an aspect of the problem that companies should do more to recognise. \"Although companies provide some support for stress at work, all too often the focus is on the individual,\" Dr Walker says. \"The prevailing attitude is that they [employees] are the ones who become stressed. So we will help them get back on their feet, instead of looking at changing workplace practices.\"",

Ant and Dec have now won awards 19 years in a row, but new host David Walliams was quick to ensure they remained grounded. He joked the pair were sitting on the front row, \"not because they're important\" but \"because they've forgotten their booster seats\". Holly Willoughby was up against Ant and Dec, and her This Morning colleague Philip Schofield for best TV presenter. We hope that's not why this picture was taken on her own. Gulp! Joanna Page - aka Stacey from Gavin and Stacey - told the BBC's Colin Paterson she tuned in for the latest Christmas special, just like the rest of us. \"I had a gin and a chocolate orange and I sat down and I enjoyed it\" said Page. The show, which arrived after a decade-long hiatus, was the UK's most-watched scripted TV programme of the entire 2010s. Page was joined on the red carpet by her co-stars Larry Lamb and Alison Steadman. Lamb said he thought the show, which \"everybody loves\", might return again. \"It's just a warm fun show and it was like a family being back together again\" Steadman added. Oh, [as she might say] Nessa and Uncle Bryn were there as well. Ruth Jones said the 17 million-plus viewing figures were \"unfathomable\" and she watched it go out live alongside co-writer James Corden. No spoilers but Rob Brydon thinks the show's cliff-hanger ending, involving the pair, should leave people \"wondering what happens\". Love Island stars Curtis Pritchard and Maura Higgins were two of the first to arrive and dressed to impress. They were up in the brand new category of best challenge show, which was won by The Great British Bake Off. John Barrowman arrived in a shiny silver suit to match his silver hair. The Dancing on Ice judge, who this week returned to Doctor Who too, was aiming to beat Strictly in the best talent show category. The ITV show saw Ian H Watkins and Matt Evers enjoy the first ever in-competition same-sex dance on any UK reality dance TV show, but when asked to talk about it Barrowman dismissed it as \"old news\". \"They're just like everyone else and that's just how it should be,\" said Barrowman, who urged other channels to \"represent who watches your shows\". Piers Morgan boycotted the awards as the \"same people always win\". He said he'd live tweet it from home, but his Good Morning Britain co-presenter Susanna Reid was there to represent in red. Ultimately Morgan was right as they lost out again to Holly and Phil on This Morning, which won best live magazine show for a 10th straight year. Ricky Gervais and the cast of After Life lost out to Mrs Brown's Boys in the best comedy category. \"What a bunch of losers,\" he tweeted afterwards, about his team (or words to that effect). Little Mix's Jesy Nelson who won best factual programme for her cyber bullying documentary, Odd One Out, and she certainly stood out on arrival. The only way was the red carpet for The Only Way is Essex star Jessica Wright. Joe Absolom played the murderer Christopher Halliwell in the ITV drama A Confession, and he was in town. Joey Essex and Lorena Medina stepped out together and even shared a kiss, as well as the spotlight. Sum Ting Wong, Scaredy Kat, Blu Hydrangea, Cheryl Hole, Crystal and Gothy Kendoll of RuPaul's Drag Race certainly caught the eye. The first-ever winner of the UK version of the show, The Vivienne, told the BBC the show had a \"good chance\" of winning, and why. \"I've gone from performing in gay bars to performing in arenas.\" Here's some more strong red looks from the red carpet...

It is understood that it was carrying packets of aluminium phosphide, a pesticide used to kill rodents. However, when it becomes wet it can become unstable and release gas. Almost 20 people were treated as a result of the toxic gas leak. The Northern Ireland Ambulance Service said they had been exposed to aluminium phosphide (AIP) gas. A spokesman said: \"It is a chemical incident on a ship. It was reported at 09:47 GMT on Wednesday. Nine people are en route to Daisy Hill Hospital and nine are at the scene. They will be transferred to Craigavon Area Hospital.\" A number of homes in the seaside town were evacuated for a time but residents have now been allowed to return. A Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service (NIFRS) spokesperson said: \"We are currently dealing with a hazardous material incident at Warrenpoint Harbour involving a toxic substance which has become unstable on board a vessel at the harbour. \"We currently have eight appliances, three specialist appliances and a command support unit at the scene. Nine casualties have been taken to Daisy Hill Hospital. \"The Public Health Agency (PHA) has advised that all risk of adverse health effects associated with this incident applies only to those who have come into direct contact with the gas. \"The emergency services are currently identifying and treating all such individuals. \"The PHA would emphasise that there is no risk to the wider public, but asks that people in the general area cooperate with the authorities to ensure that this incident is handled safely and effectively.\" BBC NI reporter Mervyn Jess has been close to the scene overlooking Warrenpoint Harbour. \"While it was off-loading its cargo, I understand some toxic fumes overcame members of the crew and then the alert was raised,\" he said. \"Ambulance crews arrived and a number of people were taken to Daisy Hill Hospital in Newry. \"I'm told by the hospital that 15 people were brought there, six were ambulance staff who needed to be checked out to make sure they had not been affected by the fumes. Nine people have been admitted to hospital for further treatment and observation.\" The MV Arklow Meadow was carrying grain. \"I understand that it carries these packets of pesticides which are basically aluminium phosphides, to keep down rodents that may get onto the ship and eat the grain,\" he said. \"It's thought these packets may have become damp or wet in some way and that's where the gas came from and that is what sparked this alert.\" Due to the north east wind blowing residents living across the lough in Omeath and Carlingford in the Republic of Ireland were asked to keep their doors and windows closed. Louth County Council, which covers Omeath and Carlingford, put in place emergency measures - these were later stood down. AlP is used as a pesticide, insecticide, and fumigant for stored cereal grains. It is used to kill small mammals such as moles and rodents. AlP is also used industrially. The vessel belongs to Arklow Shipping, based in County Limerick. It was established in 1966 and specialises in the dry bulk trade. It has a fleet of more than 40 ships and an office in Rotterdam in the Netherlands. On the firm's website the Arklow Meadow is listed as a grain carrier. It was built in south Korea by the Mokpo shipbuilders in 2010 and has been strengthened for heavy cargo.",

He believes CMU - which opposes a union - and Newport \"cannot survive in the medium term without merger\". Education Minister Leighton Andrews said it was a \"well-considered\" report. Prof Smith compiled the report for the Welsh government, which supports a merger after a review of higher education in Wales. His findings come a less than a week after CMU's board voted 13-1 in favour of staying as an independent institution . Prof Smith says he studied evidence of attempts to re-configure higher education in Wales and \"the paperwork painted a story of missed opportunities, and a lack of strategic thinking that I am convinced has held back opportunities for the people of Wales, and for the institutions themselves\". Referring to previous studies which identified a danger of a \"spiral of decline,\" he concluded \"that this spiral will become a reality unless a single university is created in SE Wales\". He claims the three institutions together could be \"as strong as the University of the West of England\". He stressed that they were not weak, but instead \"small, dangerously so in two of the three cases (Newport and CMU)\". 'Invaluable support' Glamorgan and Newport said earlier this month that they would begin discussions on a merger. CMU though, wants to go it alone and says it aims to be in the top 10 of new UK universities within five years. Mr Andrews, who is expected to make an announcement on higher education in south east Wales on Tuesday, said: \"It is a clear, balanced and well-considered report and I am very grateful for Prof Smith's work on this. His support has been invaluable.\" A spokesperson for the University of Glamorgan said it had \"long supported the case for the creation for a single, modern university for south east Wales and we are pleased that Sir Steve Smith's report shares this view.\" Bethan Thomas, of the University and College Union (UCU) Wales, said Cardiff Met should not \"play politics with the jobs and livelihoods of its employees,\" and urged the governors to \"see sense and reverse their perverse position\".

Given its size, the parrot is believed to have been flightless and carnivorous, unlike most birds today. A study of the bird was published on Tuesday in the journal Biology Letters. Weighing just over one stone (7kg), the bird would have been two times heavier than the kākāpo, previously the largest known parrot. \"There are no other giant parrots in the world,\" Professor Trevor Worthy, a palaeontologist at Flinders University in Australia and lead author of the study, told the BBC. \"Finding one is very significant.\" Palaeontologists have dubbed the new species Heracles inexpectatus in recognition of its unusual size and strength. The bones - initially believed to belong to an eagle or duck - were kept in storage for 11 years until earlier this year, when a team of palaeontologists reanalysed them. Prof Worthy said one of his students came across the parrot's bones by chance in his laboratory during a research project. The parrot's beak would have been so big, Mike Archer of the University of NSW Palaeontology said, it \"could crack wide open anything it fancied\". The professor told AFP news agency the parrot \"may well have dined on more than conventional parrot foods, perhaps even other parrots\". However, because the parrot had no predators, it is unlikely that it was aggressive, Prof Worthy told the BBC. \"It probably sat on the ground, walked around and ate seeds and nuts, mostly,\" he said. Paul Scofield, the senior curator of natural history at Canterbury Museum, told AFP that researchers were \"putting our money on it being flightless\". The discovery of large birds is not uncommon in New Zealand, once home to the moa, a now-extinct species whose height reached an estimated 3.6m (11ft 8in). St Bathans, where the giant parrot's leg bones were excavated, is an area known for its abundance of fossils from the Miocene epoch, which extended from 23 million to 5.3 million years ago. \"But until now, no-one has ever found an extinct giant parrot - anywhere,\" Prof Worthy told AFP. \"We have been excavating these fossil deposits for 20 years, and each year reveals new birds and other animals... no doubt there are many more unexpected species yet to be discovered in this most interesting deposit.\"",

It is part of an \"action plan\" designed to encourage the industry to extend network coverage to more people. Planning rules could also be relaxed, making it easier to erect taller masts, following claims Wales is lagging behind England on the matter. The UK government introduced the same planning changes last year. The Welsh Government's Mobile Action Plan highlighted the challenge posed by Welsh geography, using Ofcom data showing Wales needs 67 television masts to reach one million people yet England needs just 12 masts. In England, applications for masts of up to 25m (82ft) can be fast-tracked under what are known as permitted development rights but in Wales the limit is 15m (49ft). Research into permitted development rights in Wales is due to be published during the autumn, before the planning policy is updated in the spring. The action plan said the updated policy would highlight the \"positive relationship between telecommunications and the economy\". Rates account for about 22% of the costs of running a mobile mast site. Promising to assess the impact of a cut, the plan added: \"Where evidence suggests that a reduction in non-domestic rates would encourage investment the Welsh Government will consider providing non-domestic rates relief on appropriate mobile mast sites.\" Science minister Julie James said: \"This plan outlines what we as a Welsh Government can do to help create the right environment to further improve connectivity in Wales. \"I have to be clear that we do not have the main levers as these rest with the UK government and [the regulator] Ofcom, and it is important to emphasise there is not one single solution to boosting mobile connectivity.\" Hamish MacLeod, director of Mobile UK, which represents mobile companies, said the plan \"rightly recognises the urgent need for reform and identifies barriers to effective deployment of mobile infrastructure\". The UK government said it had \"long been calling\" for Welsh ministers to follow its lead on improving mobile coverage. Wales Office minister Guto Bebb said: \"We welcome the publication of their action plan today and look forward to them now following through on commitments to address the very real issue of mobile 'not spots' across the country, and bring about planning reforms to support mobile infrastructure roll-out in Wales which are long overdue.\" Last month, a communications expert described mobile phone connections in parts of Wales as worse than on the Hebridean island of Tiree.",

It said about 300 staff were affected, and most had been redeployed elsewhere. Trading has recovered well post-lockdown, William Hill said, and it is repaying £24.5m of UK furlough funds. Its comments came as it reported pre-tax profits of £141m for the first six months of 2020, compared with a loss of £63m last year. Its revenues, however, fell by a third to £554m, reflecting the impact of the lockdown, and the fact that with so many sporting events cancelled, there were fewer events to take a punt on. William Hill employs 12,000 people in 10 countries, with 7,000 in the UK. In a statement it said: \"We anticipate that longer term retail footfall will not return to pre-COVID levels and 119 [UK] shops will remain closed following early lease breaks, with the majority of colleagues redeployed within the estate.\" Fewer than 20 people will not be redeployed. The company said trading had been strong before the pandemic. When the lockdown came in, it said it had controlled costs \"effectively\" and was now recovering well. Its presence on the High Street and town centres was already receding. Last year, it said it was cutting 700 shops after new regulations dramatically cut the size of a stake in fixed-odds betting terminals - gaming machines situated in shops - from £100 to £2. Julie Palmer, partner at Begbies Traynor, said: \"A spike in bored consumers turning to online gaming provided some respite and much-needed revenue, offering a new market for the company to target. \"But the business will need to continue developing its technology platform and product offering if it is to regain some of the lost revenue from the past few months in what is a competitive market.\" William Hill plans to expand further in the US, where new opportunities are arising as the country's previously strict gambling rules are relaxed in some states. It said its international online business grew by 17%, and added that it now had almost a third of all US sports betting. Chief executive Ulrik Bengtsson said: \"I am delighted with William Hill's performance in these extraordinary times.

The suit's plaintiff, only identified as SD, alleges a scout leader assaulted him \"hundreds\" of times in the 1970s. The Scouts have apologised and said reporting procedures have changed. Speaking at a news conference on Tuesday, lawyer Tim Kosnoff said: \"This will sound hyperbolic, but it's sex trafficking. It's the largest paedophile ring on earth.\" The suit was filed on Monday in Pennsylvania by three law firms in the group Abused in Scouting. It accuses BSA of knowing \"for decades that sexual predators of boys had infiltrated scouting\" and that children like SD were at risk, the Washington Post reported. BSA told the BBC in a statement that they believe and support victims and pay for counselling, and when they received information from Abused in Scouting attorneys, they \"immediately investigated the limited information provided\" and have reported 120 cases to state law enforcement agencies. \"We are continuing to manually search paper records at the local level to see if we can identify more information about the additional alleged perpetrators identified in the plaintiff's attorneys list.\" \"The BSA has taken significant steps over many years to ensure that we respond aggressively and effectively to reports of sexual abuse,\" the statement added. \"We recognise, however, that there were instances in our organisation's history when cases were not addressed or handled in a manner consistent with our commitment to protect Scouts, the values of our organisation, and the procedures we have in place today.\" Beginning in February, when reports emerged that BSA was considering filing for bankruptcy, Abused in Scouting used television ads to reach Boy Scouts across the country. Hundreds of members and former members allegedly began coming forward, which Mr Kosnoff said on Tuesday is still a \"miniscule proportion\" of the total number of victims. Mr Kosnoff said BSA leaders were \"entrusted with your boys to go out in the woods, away from their parents, overnight, in circumstances where they're totally exposed\". He added that the group has a \"quasi-military structure\" which can be beneficial to youth, but was also \"the perfect setting for child molesters\". The lawsuit's plaintiff, 57-year-old SD, claims in the criminal complaint that his Scout master in Pennsylvania \"actively groomed young boys under his charge for later sexual molestation\". He claimed when he was 12 or 13 years old, he suffered \"hundreds of instances\" of sex abuse, the Post reported. The lawyers allege they have identified 350 men, like SD's alleged abuser, who were never named in the Boy Scouts' internal files, according to Mr Kosnoff. He added the names would not be released until the claims were investigated further. He also accused BSA of not properly keeping documents on perpetrators, called \"ineligible volunteer\" files, saying there was a \"haphazard, willy nilly destruction\" of those records over the decades. \"The kind of numbers we're talking about now dwarf what we've seen in the Catholic Church cases,\" Mr Kosnoff claimed. Abused in Scouting also alleges BSA tried to cover up cases or handle them \"discretely\" by encouraging abusers \"to voluntarily resign and move on\". The lawyers said most victims - ranging in age from 14 to 88 - came from California, Texas and Florida, and that some states like North Carolina had \"disproportionately large\" numbers. The case is expected to go to trial in two to three years, according to the lawyers. BSA is one of the largest youth nonprofits in the US, with millions of members. The group has faced numerous sex abuse lawsuits over the decades.",

            "input": "Sean CoughlanEducation correspondent@seanjcoughlanon Twitter It would mean the end of grades for schools such as outstanding, good or inadequate. It will also be seen as a symbolic shift towards the position of teachers' unions who have opposed Ofsted inspections. Former Ofsted chief, Sir Michael Wilshaw, described the plan as \"bonkers\". The promise to abolish Ofsted, announced as Labour holds its annual conference, is a major shift in policy. Unfair system Labour says it is taking action to tackle a flawed inspection system which works against schools in deprived areas. \"In too many cases, Ofsted's judgements and grades reflect the affluence of a school's intake and the social class of its pupils - not the performance of the school,\" said shadow education secretary Angela Rayner. \"School performance is far too important and complex to be boiled down to an over-simplified single grade, reducing all schools to one of four categories,\" she said. But opponents will say that is reducing scrutiny and abandoning safeguards over standards. There will also be claims that under leader Jeremy Corbyn, Labour's education policy is turning into something of a tribute act to the teachers' unions of a couple of decades ago. While in government in the late 1990s and early 2000s, Labour had repeatedly rejected calls from the National Union of Teachers (now part of a wider National Education Union) to end Ofsted inspections. The teachers' unions had attacked Ofsted inspections as being unfair, bureaucratic and excessively stressful. But Labour, under Tony Blair and Gordon Brown, had kept the education watchdog as a key part of maintaining standards and providing information for parents. Inspection 'health checks' The plans presented by Ms Rayner would see Ofsted abolished and replaced with a new inspectorate. There would be a two-stage inspection system - with regular \"health checks\" run by local authorities and then, if there were concerns, more in-depth visits from full-time, trained inspectors - the HMIs (Her Majesty's Inspectors). It would mean that parents looking at schools would no longer have the descriptions of inspection ratings, ranging from \"outstanding\" to \"inadequate\". Labour says that such single-word labels do not do justice to the complexities of a school's strengths and weaknesses and instead parents will have more detailed information. But the fireworks are in the political shift. Calling for the abolition of Ofsted was once an annual ritual of left-wing delegates at teachers' conferences, under both Conservative and Labour governments. There was no real expectation of its implementation - because neither party wanted to concede ground that would leave them open to accusations of being soft on standards. Support from heads Labour also argued that without external scrutiny of standards, the schools serving the poorest were most likely to be allowed to slip behind. But that alignment seems to have fundamentally changed. Labour has travelled a long way from the days of Mr Blair and \"education, education, education\" - moving much closer to the teachers' union view of the school system. The former leader of the National Union of Teachers, Christine Blower, who once attacked the Labour government's education policies, has recently been nominated by Mr Corbyn to become a Labour peer. The demise of Ofsted is likely to be popular among teachers, who have criticised the extra workload created by inspections and challenged the credibility of the judgements. Geoff Barton, leader of the ASCL head teachers' union, backed the idea of reducing the pressure of the accountability system. \"It is crushing the life out of too many schools and has to change,\" said Mr Barton. But he was not convinced by the idea of local authorities running the monitoring of schools in their area. The National Association of Head Teachers thought a \"light-touch health-check approach\" of the kind proposed by Labour is \"the right way to go\". The heads' union liked the idea of schools being \"back in the driving seat\". 'Lack of scrutiny' But what's harder to know is how this will be received by parents. Of course, there is no such thing as a typical parent, but parents looking for schools will want straightforward information to help them make comparisons. They will also want to know that standards are being monitored by an independent body. Sir Michael Wilshaw, the former head of Ofsted, says surveys have consistently shown that parents value the opinions of inspectors and they want clear information about school performance. He says Ofsted has helped to raise standards by identifying \"strengths and weaknesses in the English education system\". \"I'm old enough to remember how dire our schools were in the 70s and 80s when schools lacked any serious scrutiny,\" said Sir Michael. Schools minister Nick Gibb said the announcement was \"another sign of the extreme left-wing ideological drift that Jeremy Corbyn's Labour party has taken\". \"Now they want to stop parents having even the most basic information so that they can make informed choices about their children's schools,\" he said.",

The 40-year-old paranoid schizophrenic died in police custody four years ago. Coroner Andrew Harris has said he will publish his final recommendations later. He has highlighted the key issues he will look at in his Rule 43 report: \"There remains a significant risk that similar deaths could occur,\" Mr Harris said. However Mr Harris said police were putting in place better facilities at Brixton to handle mental health patients. He also recognised assurances by SLAM that they were addressing clinical risk assessments properly. Mr Harris added that he would not deal with issues being dealt with in two separate Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) reviews. Final call Mr Rigg was held after a claim he had attacked passers-by in Balham. During the inquest, Southwark Coroner's Court was told Mr Rigg, a karate expert, had not been taking his medication. Returning a narrative verdict, jurors found police handling of the death had showed an \"absence of leadership\". Mr Rigg, who had a history of problems with the law, threatened staff at a hostel he was living in. Staff there made four emergency calls to police over three hours but help did not arrive. When they made their final call, he had left the hostel and was then reported to have attacked a young couple. Within 10 minutes of the report, he was restrained by three police officers on the Weir Estate in Brixton. Later that evening he collapsed at Brixton police station suffering from a heart arrhythmia, which was the medical cause of Mr Rigg's death. The court heard he had been physically fit before he died. The jury found police restrained Mr Rigg in the prone position for eight minutes while he was being arrested, a length of time that \"more than minimally\" contributed to his death.",

            "input": "By Laura BickerBBC News, Seoul Seungri, a singer in one of the world's most famous boy bands, Big Bang, was questioned by police over allegations he was procuring prostitutes for his business and had embezzled funds at Burning Sun, a nightclub he part-owned in the exclusive Gangnam district of Seoul, South Korea. Several of his celebrity K-pop friends were also caught sharing sex videos and bragging in a chat room about raping women. One by one, Korean heartthrobs more used to being mobbed by fans found themselves fending off reporters as they made their way to the police station to face questions from drug-taking to rape. But in recent months an even more shocking picture has emerged of Gangnam, where South Korea's high society live, work and play. The BBC has heard allegations that in its glitzy nightclubs, women have been drugged to order by powerful men and raped, and that underage girls are being sexually exploited for profit. The BBC has sought the voices of those caught up in Seoul's sex scandal. We have heard from club-goers and club employees as well as victims, including underage girls who say they were recruited to have sex with paying customers. They all say the abuse of women in the clubs is pervasive and often violent. We have been told that elite clients, known as VIPs - and the richest VVIPs - were prepared to pay tens of thousands of dollars to have women who were enjoying a night out drugged and taken to a nearby hotel room, the abuse routinely captured on camera. As one club-goer put it to us: \"These men are hunters and they pay to get in the game. So you need prey. It's foolish to think you won't get shot in this place.\" A warning: this article contains details of alleged sexual assaults which you may find upsetting. 'He kept giving me water' We were shown a harrowing video which allegedly depicts a sexual assault. The still image in front of me gives me an idea of the horror which will follow. A woman is lying naked on a red sofa with three men staring down at her. I press play, and the men approach her. One laughs as he lifts up a limb and it falls. Her body is limp and she does not respond. The two minute video is too upsetting to describe in detail. She appears to be sexually assaulted by all three men. Repeatedly. The video was allegedly shared in a chat room between employees - I cannot verify its contents. But this clip is now part of a police investigation into activities at several clubs in Gangnam. Gangnam has often been described as the Beverly Hills of Seoul. Flashy and fashion-conscious, it's a symbol of prosperity and status. At night, it's the neon playground of the very rich and those eager for a taste of the celebrity lifestyle. The cost of a night out appears almost irrelevant. One wealthy, connected club-goer told us he spent up to $17,000 (£13,300) on just one evening. A viral social media clip shows a man spinning on the dance floor, throwing bank notes into the air like confetti. The décor is loud and ostentatious. The dress code is, of course, designer chic and for many of the more prestigious nightclubs, gaining entry requires being on an approved list. DJs are celebrities in their own right, conducting crowds of dancers crammed around the turntables. Beautiful women serve thousand-dollar bottles of champagne to revellers who appear ready to party until dawn. Kim - not her real name - used to be a regular on the Gangnam scene. She liked to dance and she had a few favourite DJs. One evening last December she was invited to a nightclub for drinks. Among the group was an Asian businessman who she claims took an interest in her and began serving her whisky. \"When he was pouring the drink, I couldn't see him,\" she says. \"He had his back against me. So I drank around three to four glasses. Every time I did so, he kept giving me water to drink.\" At some point, she claims, she blacked out and woke up in a hotel room with the man looking down on her. \"He forced me to lie down but I didn't want to, so I kept getting up. When I got up, he would grab my neck and force me down on the bed over and over. I thought someone could die like this by having their neck broken. \"I started crying and yelling. Then, he got on top of me and used both of his hands to block my mouth and started pressing down hard. He kept saying 'relax, relax'.\" She told us she feared for her life. \"I couldn't resist his power and I was in so much pain that I could die, so I just gave up and lay there like a dead body.\" Kim says she had been drugged in the club and was raped. Afterwards she threw up, then begged to go home. \"I was grabbing my clothes and other things to leave when he took his phone to take a photo with his face and my face in it. I said what are you doing and 'no, no'. But he grabbed my arm and wouldn't let me go. So I thought it'd be best to just take this photo and leave otherwise I could get into some real harm. \"So he just took the photo and I left.\" Kim went to the police the next day. They found no trace of drugs in her blood, but prosecutors tell us that is not unusual. The most common drug used to incapacitate a victim is thought to be GHB, or Gamma-Hydroxybutyrate a strong sedative that is undetectable in the body after a few hours. \"Thankfully I was awake when it happened and I can fully describe what I dealt with,\" she told us. But she said she had found other women online who also believe they were drugged and raped after visiting Gangnam clubs, but have no clear memory of what happened. The businessman was found and questioned but he has strongly protested his innocence. In a statement to the BBC he said she did not black out. He said he did not rape, sexually assault or physically assault her at all and that CCTV footage shows her willingly leaving the club with him and walking to the hotel. The investigation continues. 'Bring me zombies' Over the past few months, police have questioned nearly 4,000 people, focusing on allegations of drugs, prostitution, sexual assault and illicit filming linked to the club scene which have outraged the public. Those questioned include several male celebrities from the K-pop scene. Seungri - real name Lee Seung-hyun - has resigned from show business, denying that he ever procured prostitutes but saying the scandal \"has become so big\". The continuing controversy has led to the resignation of the head of a major South Korean entertainment company - Yang Hyun-suk, chief producer of YG Entertainment, which was behind the viral hit Gangnam Style. He denied wrongdoing, but said he could no longer withstand \"humiliating\" allegations of his involvement in a drug scandal and was stepping down to fight them. The allegations have encouraged others to speak out. People we spoke to who were an integral part of Seoul's club scene have described a culture of exploitation, where the procuring of women for sexual gratification had become almost routine for some wealthy clients. The clubs employ hosts known as \"MDs\" to cater to guests' desires. It's a murky role - one female MD told us it entailed building relationships with \"pretty girls\" to bring them into the clubs. They would entice them with the offer of free entry and free drinks. MDs would have a number of beautiful women on their call lists. Many would encourage them to drink with their clients and the MDs would then take around 13-15% of the drinks sale. With the right clients, some of them would make around $20,000 a month. As one MD put it: \"To secure high-paying clients, MDs need to be able to supply hot girls.\" We have heard repeated allegations that at some point and at the request of clients, the women's drinks were being spiked, rendering them unconscious. However one senior club executive told the BBC that the suggestion GHB had been sold or distributed to customers and sexual assault encouraged was ridiculous. A former host at a famous Gangnam nightclub said one VVIP - the elite guests - was \"well-known for his crazy appetite for unconscious women\". \"He ordered me to bring two totally drunk or unconscious women to him,\" he told us. Specifically, he said, the client's request was: \"Bring me zombies.\" He claimed to have witnessed several attempted sexual assaults: \"I saw a few people every week that didn't seem like they were drunk, but gone in a different way. You can tell with your eyes the difference between who is drunk on alcohol and who is gone from something else.\" Lee - not his real name - worked as an MD and said these women were \"just people who came to the club\". I wanted to ensure I understood what he was telling me. So I put the question to him clearly: \"Ordinary women going into the club for a nice night out, could face being drugged and raped? Is that what you saw?\" \"Yes,\" came the reply. After procuring the women, he said, the clients \"would usually take them to the hotel above the club or there are a lot of hotels near here, or motels\". We cannot name any of these workers, because they fear reprisals. Likewise a regular club-goer told us that he had been in the VIP room at a Seoul nightclub when a waiter brought in unconscious women. \"I don't know if someone drugged her but I had a woman who was clearly hallucinating and unconscious. I wondered if she was mentally ill, especially since she was drooling and her body was limp. I worried - what if she dies here?\" He denies being involved in drugging or attacking women and said he had challenged the host. \"I told the waiter that she is too drunk, and he said: 'She's not drunk. She won't remember a thing so you can do whatever you want.' \"Sexy, beautiful women are the prey. These men are the hunters. And they pay to get in the game. So you need prey, and the MDs are the ones who release the prey.\" A pastor undercover Joo Won-gyu is a church pastor who has become one of the most vocal campaigners against sexual violence in Gangnam. He had been working with runaway teenagers in 2015 when 20 of them disappeared. He tracked them down and found them working as underage prostitutes at clubs. He decided to become a driver for some of these clubs to try to discover more about how these teenagers were being treated and recruited. He said scouts or pimps would entice runaway teenage girls by claiming they would help them become entertainers or actresses after \"working\" at the club for two to three years. Others were even promised plastic surgery. One of the youngest girls working in clubs had been recruited at the age of 13, he claims. The age of consent is 20 in South Korea. Sex with a minor is statutory rape. He said he had witnessed a number of unconscious women being raped in that time. He told us how he believed the system worked. \"VIPs would tell MDs 'I want to sleep with that girl'. The MD would then tell the girl 'that VIP is super-rich' and then the MD would take the girl into the partitioned area. Then they would drink together, put GHB in the drink or actually get her drunk on alcohol to rape or sexually assault her.\" He drove us around the back alleys of Gangnam where he would drop off clients or sex workers, including underage girls, at hotels or office apartments. He described it as a \"challenging time\". \"I saw women raped inside clubs, raped outside clubs behind cars, being drugged against their will, being beaten and so on. I would say three to four times a week I'd see this.\" 'We gave our bodies in rotation' Joo tried but failed to remove several girls from these clubs. He would not let us meet any of them, but allowed us to put questions to two of them by phone, through him. One who was recruited for clubs at the age of 16 was very blunt about her role. \"When we were there we were drinking, taking drugs, dancing like idiots and we gave our bodies in rotation,\" she said. She said the men were \"like kings\". Both teenagers said the sex was often violent - they and their friends would need medical treatment. Her clients often filmed her. She was told to act innocently, and sometimes she was to act as if she was being raped. \"For girls like us they'd make porn out of it… I just act like I don't see it when they film me.\" Joo says these videos could be used to blackmail the young girls to prevent them from leaving the club's service, or to stop them going to the police. The minors said that on many occasions they were not alone with these men in the motel rooms. One told us the VVIPs would bring along women they'd picked up at clubs who had been drugged and they would witness them being assaulted or raped. Some girls were lured with marijuana, they said, but if the men \"think it could be a crazy bitch that could sue them, then they would drug them with GHB and film them unknowingly\". \"They are just unconscious. They cannot get a grip. Or they have no idea what they did.\" Now that the police investigation is under way, I asked one, through the Pastor, what she would like to see happen to those involved in this sex scandal. \"I hope they all die,\" she said. \"Only those who have a… strong mind survive following Gangnam.\" 'Sexy beautiful women are prey' Prostitution is illegal in South Korea, and yet the sex trade is thriving and thought to be worth around $13bn a year. There is no shortage of prostitutes, for those who want such services. But one rich club client told us that the men he knew did not want a prostitute. He said comparing prostitutes to ordinary women was \"like a business car versus your own car\". \"You cannot touch a normal girl like that easily. The sense of achievement follows when you gain access to certain things that not everyone is allowed to.\" We challenged him that having sex with women who are unable to give consent was rape. \"Normal women who drink normally will not take off their undies? So what do men do?\" he answered indignantly. \"They try to make them drunk, but they refuse. What do you do? \"You say innocently that 'I'm only here to dance. Sure, but will people let you only dance? This is a jungle. It's right that you are here to sightsee, but there are alligators, lions and lizards out to get you. Sexy beautiful women are prey.\" 'Screaming testimonies of women' The idea of being preyed upon by men will feel disturbingly familiar to so many women in South Korea. Last year, thousands took to the streets of Seoul to protest at so called \"spy cameras\", where videos of women, often sexually explicit, were taken without their knowledge. The scandal has prompted further large protests as campaigners call for justice. They fear that police cannot be trusted to investigate fairly. Shin Ji-ye from the Green Party addressed the last mass rally on International Women's Day in March and claimed this abuse had taken place over \"decades\". \"In so many clubs,\" she said, \"we have heard the screaming testimonies of women being raped and assaulted.\" But there is anger that it was only when celebrities were arrested and police collusion was suspected that action was taken. There is fear that the voices of female victims have been ignored for too long. Police have arrested 354 people in the last three months in connection with what has become known as The Burning Sun Scandal. Of them, 87 were arrested for brokering sex, secretly filming sex and rape. In 20 cases women had been drugged. But campaigners say the total number of female victims may be much higher. Lawyer Cha Mee-kyung says such \"hidden crimes\" happen but \"are not reflected in justice system statistics\". There are also claims that some police officers turned a blind eye to reports about the nightclubs. President Moon Jae-in has ordered an investigation into alleged police corruption and said there was \"evidence suggesting that the prosecutors and police purposely conducted incomplete investigations, and actively prevented the truth from being revealed\". The Gangnam station chief has been removed from his position after a special inquiry. Reporting a rape can be hard for victims. Many women in South Korea are reluctant to come forward. They fear the stigma. They believe they will be judged by an extremely patriarchal society. The use of drugs also makes it difficult for women to remember the details of an assault. Lawyer Kim Jeong-hwan is in the process of trying to bring to court South Korea's first case involving GHB. He said the nature of GHB meant it was \"highly likely the victims would not have a clear recollection\" of the night. \"On top of that it is hard to secure evidence that GHB has been used as it is extremely unlikely that a blood test will detect the drug because it disappears so quickly from the body,\" he added. Then there is the fear of not being believed. It is their word against the rich and the powerful. Will a police force, which is already being accused of trying to cover up some of these crimes, be able to hold those in positions of power accountable? The Korean National Police Agency has set up a special unit to investigate crimes against women. Supt Choi Hyun-a told the BBC that her officers would \"thoroughly and fairly investigate so that all South Korean citizens had a greater trust in the police\". She added that her team would focus its efforts on \"preventing sex crimes where women are drugged\". \"We know this frightens women the most,\" she said. Some women are concerned that once this controversy has passed, the exploitation will continue. But campaigners have vowed to fight on. Kim told me that she had never before thought of herself as a feminist or a fighter. After her alleged rape, that has changed. \"I really wanted to catch these evil men. I want the law to change. I want a society where these drugs can't be used and where no more victims are created.\" Correction 5 August 2019: An earlier version of this story incorrectly said the age of consent is 18 in South Korea.

            "input": "They say the 22:00 curfew - in addition to a swathe of other rules - will dent the finances of late-night venues, putting more jobs at risk. And they have asked for evidence that Covid-19 is spreading in pubs and bars. Deputy First Minister John Swinney said the measures were needed to tackle a lack of distancing in some venues. He told BBC Radio's Good Morning Scotland the virus was being transmitted in households and \"to more limited extent\" in hospitality settings. At the daily briefing, Nicola Sturgeon said she may have taken the decision to close hospitality if the Scottish government had the power to borrow money or extend the furlough scheme, enabling them to safeguard jobs. The curfew comes a week after the \"rule of six\" came into effect in Scotland, limiting gatherings in pubs and restaurants to no more than six adults from two households. They are also forbidden from playing background music, must enforce strict rules on hygiene and distancing, and record customers details for track and trace data. Willie Macleod, of UKHospitality in Scotland, said the latest restrictions were a \"potentially fatal blow\" for many business. \"In isolation, they may appear moderate, but the cumulative effect is going to be hugely damaging,\" he said. \"Consumer confidence is going to take another hit and we cannot hope to recover while confidence remains low.\" He said both the UK and Scottish government should announce a package of financial support, including extending the furlough scheme, \"otherwise our sector is facing ruin\" How will the new rules affect businesses? The curfew is a \"double whammy\" for the licensed trade in Aberdeen, according to Stuart McPhee, who runs the city's Siberia bar and hotel. It was shut for three weeks in August - alongside every other pub and bar in the city - following an outbreak of Covid-19 cases linked to nightlife. He said the early closing time would wipe out a quarter of the business' weekly turnover. Admitting frustration, he said: \"We've just come out of a localised lockdown, which the restrictions in place had the effect of bringing an outbreak under control, and now we're seeing further restrictions coming into an already over-regulated environment. \"I think it's going to make trading and business extremely difficult in the coming weeks.\" Addressing Holyrood on Tuesday, Nicola Sturgeon said she hoped the new restrictions would not be in place for six months - and they would be reviewed after three weeks. Despite that, Petra Wetzel, who owns West Brewery in Glasgow, is concerned they could badly affect trade during the traditional Christmas party season. She predicted that some businesses would not survive until January in the current climate. Speaking to BBC Radio's Good Morning Scotland, she asked why the entire industry had to be \"punished\" for the actions of those who were not obeying existing rules. \"I would like to see tougher measures for publicans and private individuals who are flouting the rules, rather than punishing everyone else,\" she said. Mike Grieve, the managing director of Glasgow's Sub Club warned that the new rules will drive many people behind closed doors into illegal and unregulated gatherings. \"We absolutely respect the need for public health to be the number one priority, but these measures simply don't make sense. The evidence is clear. The main transmission mechanism is in the home - not in hospitality settings,\" he said. \"With more onerous restrictions already in place in Scotland's pubs and restaurants, it's difficult to understand why this sector is attracting so much of the focus.\" Mr Grieve, who is also the chairman of the Night Time Association Industries Scotland, said the atmosphere of bars, restaurants and venues had already been affected by the music ban and were now \"threatened with extinction\". \"The hospitality sector in Scotland has been at the forefront of managing Covid-safe environments with operators investing heavily in infrastructure and health and safety training for staff to achieve this,\" he added. \"We predict that these latest restrictions will drive more people behind closed doors for unregulated illegal gatherings and crowded house parties. Meanwhile our sector is left abandoned.\" What is the government saying? In her daily briefing on Wednesday, Ms Sturgeon said the aim of the curfew was to limit the amount of time people spend in licensed premises. She said the move would limit the spread of the virus \"in an environment where we know there are higher risks\" while still allowing businesses to trade and provide jobs. \"We also need to, and intend to, ensure that all businesses comply with all of the hygiene, safety and mitigation rules,\" she added. \"The vast majority do that already but it's important that all do.\" Earlier John Swinney, the deputy first minister, told Good Morning Scotland that patterns in data show there is more casual contact and a lack of physical distancing in some venues. \"We're saying that hospitality has to close at 10 o'clock so we can actually tackle the bit of the hospitality sector which is causing trouble, which is the lack of physical distancing and the later night drinking,\" he said.",

            "input": "By Virginia HarrisonBBC News She is the founder of handbag and backpack maker MinkeeBlue, which is based in Philadelphia but manufactures its products in China and then imports them to the US. It is one of a huge range of companies - from shoe makers to chemical firms and tech suppliers - facing the impact of the bruising trade fight between the world's two largest economies. Ms Mosee has seen import tariffs on her products more than double in the last few months. Top trade negotiators from the US and China met in Shanghai this week for their first face-to-face talks since May. But the meetings were brief and no swift resolution is yet in sight. Both sides have imposed tariffs on billions of dollars worth of goods, leading to higher costs for business and consumers. Ms Mosee says import duties on her bags were \"already expensive\" at 17.6% before the US-China trade war started - now the rate is 42.6%. To get her products into the US, that tariff must be paid at the border. Ms Mosee says she's had to \"scramble around to get the additional funds\" to pay the higher duties, including looking for loans. \"As a small business my finances were already a little tight. I had to figure out how I was going to get the money to operate the business. We're all paying for this, not [only] China,\" she says. Ms Mosee has raised the price of some bags - which are designed with compartments to carry lots of items like shoes and laptops - by roughly 25% to offset the impact of the higher import tariff. Those price hikes mean Ms Mosee's customers, who buy online from countries including the UK, Dubai, Canada and Australia, are feeling the knock-on effects of the trade battle. Shifting production To sidestep the higher tariffs, some companies are choosing to move out of China. A recent survey by the American Chambers of Commerce in China and Shanghai found 40% of respondents are considering shifting or have already relocated their Chinese manufacturing facilities - mostly to South East Asia. Global Trade More from the BBC's series taking an international perspective on trade: One company that has made the jump is another US seller of bags and travel accessories, Litegear. Its products, which are mostly made from recycled plastic bottles, had previously all been manufactured in China. When tariffs on some of those goods were hiked by 10% last December, chief executive Magi Raible had a feeling the matter might drag on for some time. She acted quickly to shift some production out of China to Cambodia. Later those tariffs were increased by another 15%. Now around half of her products - mainly smaller accessories - are made in the South East Asian country. The rest are still made in China. Despite her swift action there was a gap in production, and overall the tariff rises have hit Litegear profits by up to 15%. \"The learning curve has been very steep,\" Ms Raible says. A planned merger with a luggage firm had to be scrapped as her potential partner couldn't absorb the higher costs, or pass them on to consumers. \"He went out of business and I lost the opportunity to double the size of my business. That was really terrible for us,\" says Ms Raible. \"I'm fighting this battle… and I'm adjusting, but it costs jobs, it costs building the business, it costs profits.\" She doesn't oppose the overall aim of pressing China to reform its trading practices but isn't happy with the current strategy. \"I feel that the approach is hurting Americans way more than helping the problem.\" Jobs freeze Even for firms that are already located outside China, the ripple effect is beginning to be felt by some. Take for example, semiconductor manufacturers in Singapore. The country is a hub for the industry, producing microchips which are used in a huge range of electronic devices, many of them made in China. As a result, the sector is feeling the consequences of the tariffs, says Ang Wee Seng, executive director of Singapore's Semiconductor Industry Association. \"It is a known fact that the trade tension has started to directly impact the business here and the region,\" he says. \"The whole globe is affected by this.\" On top of that Washington's move to add Chinese telecoms giant Huawei to a trade blacklist has curtailed business too. The semiconductor industry is facing a wider slowdown and Mr Ang says the trade war has made the business environment even tougher. He says recent meetings with chip manufacturers in Singapore suggested employment in the sector is being affected. \"Every one of them is doing a headcount freeze and they are hiring in a very selective form,\" he says. \"It's an indication that there is a slowdown in the market already.\" Additional reporting by Ana Nicolaci da Costa",

            "input": "The justice secretary said the UK would not be \"punished\" for leaving the EU by having tariffs placed on its exports. He said he could \"not imagine\" Germany putting up trade barriers which would threaten their own imports into the UK. But the chancellor said this would be a \"catastrophe\" in terms of lost jobs and could \"wreck the economy\". He also warned of a \"significant shock\" to the housing market in the event of the UK leaving the EU. The battle has resumed in the EU campaign after Thursday's elections, with just over six weeks to go to the 23 June referendum which will decide whether the UK remains in or leaves the EU. Attention has focused again on the impact of leaving on the UK's trade with the rest of the EU and what its trading relationships will look like - with Mr Osborne and Mr Gove - key figures on opposing sides of the argument - wading in. The Remain campaign has argued the UK would have a couple of years to negotiate a totally new relationship with the EU or face potentially punitive tariffs on its goods in the absence of any formal agreement. But, in an interview on the Andrew Marr show, Mr Gove reiterated claims he first made last month that the UK could have the best of both worlds by being outside the EU's single market. 'Win-win' While the UK would no longer be bound by EU regulation, legal judgements and free movement rules it would, in reality, still have access to the EU's internal market of 500 million people since free trade across the European continent would not suddenly come to a halt, Mr Gove said. \"If you negotiate a trade agreement with a country with which you currently have tariffs, then you need to negotiate which tariffs will remain and which will be reduced,\" he said. \"If you don't have tariffs then both sides can agree there is no need to erect them. Germany carmakers are not going to want to have tariffs erected when they sell many more cars to us than we sell to them. Analysis by the BBC's political correspondent Chris Mason With this month's elections out of the way, the focus of politics shifts to a single topic: the EU referendum, just over six weeks away. The biggest protagonists on either side have returned to the central battleground: the economy. Michael Gove, a leading Leave campaigner, repeated that, having left the EU, the UK should be outside its single market - which allows the free movement of people, goods, services and money. Mr Gove said the UK would negotiate access to it, but not be governed by its rules. His Conservative colleague, George Osborne, sought to pounce on the remark: leaving the Single Market would be \"catastrophic\" for people's jobs, he claimed; leaving the EU would push up mortgage costs too, he said. But remember, there are very few uncontestable facts here - both sides are trading in the same currency: predictions, guesses. \"And I can't imagine a situation if any individual nation of the EU wanted to erect tariffs, that others would let them.\" With Germany importing far more goods to the UK than the UK exports to them, he said it was in the interest of their \"political establishment\" for the current status quo to be maintained. \"It is win-win for them at the moment,\" he said. \"It should be win-win for us and it will be if we vote to leave and we can maintain free trade, stop sending money and also have control of our borders.\" \"I think it would be very difficult for any German finance minister to say to BMW I am afraid you are going to have to lay off workers because I want to punish the British for being democratic by erecting trade barriers...that won't happen.\" But Mr Osborne told Peston on Sunday on ITV that EU exit would have damaging short and long-term consequences for the economy. \"Today we are getting to the heart of the matter. We have had the Leave campaign admit this morning that Britain would leave the single market - that is the largest free trade area in the world - that would be catastrophic for people's jobs, incomes and livelihoods. \"Now some people might think wrecking the economy is a price worth paying. I absolutely reject that... There is a long-term cost, equivalent to £4,300 to families if we leave. If we leave the single market, our analysis says we will be worse off than that.\" Britain Stronger in Europe, the main cross-party group backing EU membership, said their opponents' admission that the UK should leave the single market was a \"huge moment in the campaign\". Vote Leave said that while the process of extricating the UK from the EU and negotiating a new arrangement would take time, things would start to change \"quickly\" after a vote to leave, While on opposing sides of the arguments, both Mr Osborne and Mr Gove sought to downplay the damage that Europe was doing to Conservative unity. The justice secretary said reports that his relations with David Cameron were \"in the deep freeze\" was far from the truth while Mr Osborne said he expected Mr Cameron to remain in Downing Street \"until the end of the decade\" before stepping down. Asked whether recent policy U-turns on benefits and academies were designed to appease Tory Eurosceptics and increase his chances of becoming the next leader, Mr Osborne said he didn't want \"an easy life\" or to \"coast along\" with the view of \"moving next door one day\".",

            "input": "He said North Carolina lawmaker Mark Meadows would take over. The change had been expected for weeks. Mr Trump said Mr Mulvaney would become US special envoy to Northern Ireland. Mr Mulvaney was perceived to have implicated the president in last year's impeachment inquiry in an off-the-cuff remark at the White House podium. When Mr Mulvaney gave a rare White House press conference last October, he shrugged off criticism over an alleged corrupt deal with Ukraine by saying: \"We do that all the time.\" Mr Trump was reportedly outraged by the gaffe. Mr Mulvaney then walked back his comments in a written statement that said: \"Let me be clear, there was absolutely no quid pro quo between Ukrainian military aid and any investigation into the 2016 election.\" That same month the chief of staff was seen as having have made another slip-up while attempting to defend the president from criticism over a plan, later cancelled, to hold this year's G7 summit at one of his resorts in Florida. Mr Mulvaney told Fox News that \"at the end of the day he still considers himself to be in the hospitality business\", prompting the show's host to point out that Mr Trump was president of the United States, not a hotel executive. The role of presidential chief of staff, part gatekeeper to the Oval Office and part taskmaster for White House employees, traditionally requires ruthless efficiency and organisation, delivered with a delicate touch. James Baker, nicknamed \"the velvet hammer\", served under both Ronald Reagan and George HW Bush, and was the model for such a role. Donald Trump is not, however, a traditional president. He prefers to operate on instinct and improvisation - attributes that have thwarted the best designs of his three previous chiefs. Reince Priebus, a Republican Party functionary, was unable to control the rivalries and feuds that festered within the White House. John Kelly, the former general, attempted to impose military discipline on the administration - and eventually clashed with the free-wheeling president. Mick Mulvaney's strategy to \"let Trump be Trump\" appeared to suit the president, but his missteps during the impeachment investigation eventually sealed his fate. Now it's Mark Meadows's turn. As a congressman, the affable North Carolinian has been an ardent Trump defender in a job that doesn't require the aforementioned administrative skills. In an election year, however, vocal support and loyalty - and an ability to demand it from subordinates - may be what the president wants most. Mr Mulvaney last week made headlines again for accusing US media of only being interested in covering coronavirus because \"they think this is going to bring down the president\". In February, Mr Trump said reports that Mr Mulvaney would be fired were \"false\", insisting he had a \"great relationship\" with him. Despite his key White House role, which he assumed in January last year, he was never part of the Trump inner circle. Shortly after he was picked to be chief of staff in late 2018, video emerged of Mr Mulvaney making a disparaging remark about Mr Trump. He had said in 2016: \"Yes, I am supporting Donald Trump, but I'm doing so despite the fact that I think he's a terrible human being.\" He had also said Mr Trump was \"just as bad\" as his opponent, Hillary Clinton. Mr Mulvaney's appointment as US special envoy to Northern Ireland was welcomed by the First and deputy First Ministers of Northern Ireland, Arlene Foster and Michelle O'Neill. Mrs Foster said the US has been a \"loyal friend\" to Northern Ireland and the new appointment \"will be important in developing that friendship\" while Ms O'Neill said she hoped Mr Mulvaney could build on the work of his predecessors in supporting the peace process and the Good Friday Agreement. Who is Mark Meadows? Mr Trump's new chief of staff is a close ally of the president with a record of supporting hard-line conservative causes and climate change denial in the US. In 2012 he publicly embraced the conspiracy theory that President Barack Obama was not born in the US but instead in Kenya. As head of a group of conservative politicians called the Freedom Caucus, Mr Meadows lobbied the White House to close down the government's climate change office. But in 2019 he suggested he was \"willing to look at\" addressing climate change. Mr Meadows will now retire from the House of Representatives. In Friday night's tweet Mr Trump said: \"I have long known and worked with Mark and the relationship is a very good one.\"",

            "input": "By Emma JonesEntertainment reporter Weaver plays a version of herself in an episode of the hit show about the entertainment industry, which airs internationally on Netflix, and tells her agents as she arrives in Paris that she hasn't yet read the script for her new film. And she explains how that also turned out to be partially true in real life. \"I really hadn't read it when I said yes,\" says Weaver, \"and I'll probably never ever do that again in my career. But I knew whatever it was, I could make it work. I just wanted to say yes in case they changed their mind.\" The episode, which was filmed in Paris just before the Covid-19 outbreak closed international travel, shows the actress speaking fluent French - which she can indeed do. \"It was such a delightful experience,\" she says. \"I love France and I also love performing in a comedy. I'm not asked to do it enough and yet it's so much fun. By the end I was even improvising in French with the cast and I can't tell you how much it meant to me. The actors have such a sharp sense of comic timing.\" Weaver is the first major Hollywood star to take a cameo in the series about the misadventures of a group of French agents and the talent they represent. The show's French title, Dix pour Cent (10%) the standard commission fee most agents receive. But like the BBC sitcom Extras, which was set in the acting world, Call My Agent has attracted well-known actors to guest star in its episodes. They include Isabelle Huppert, Monica Bellucci and Juliette Binoche, as well as Oscar winner Jean Dujardin. They play fictionalised versions of their star personas that poke fun at themselves and their industry. Huppert played herself as a workaholic who was secretly filming two projects at once, Bellucci as someone who wants a date with somebody who's not famous. \"I guess it's such a good joke of finding out the reality behind the glamorous image of the actor,\" Weaver says. \"Isabelle Huppert doesn't take herself seriously and so sends up her real seriousness about her work. There's just about enough truth in it to make it resonate in a real way. It's great fun to make fun of yourself and make fun of your business.\" Some of the main cast are big names in France, including Camille Cottin, who plays the central character - long-suffering agent Andréa Martel, who's trying to combine career and motherhood. Cottin also starred in Mouche, the French version of the BBC series Fleabag, as well as playing the villainous Hélène in Killing Eve. She believes Call My Agent is authentic because it was co-created and written by a former talent agent, Dominique Besnehard. \"It's the mixture of having a very glittering side to the industry, which gives us all a chance to go backstage and see it up close,\" she explains, \"but also you have the agents and their very human problems. Everyone who does come in for a guest role always wants to go for it 100%.\" The fictional Weaver tells Andréa to cut her meat up for her and isn't satisfied with her room at the Ritz Hotel. \"And she's not like that at all but it was good to have the version of Sigourney Weaver who is very whimsical,\" says Cottin. \"In real life she's so nice, so kind and easy going as well as being very, very impressive. But she understood that you have to make fun of the glamour system, so she did. \"On the other hand, her character in the show is very feminist and engaged, and she really was keen to make that as precise as possible.\" In the episode, Weaver is arguing that her character in her latest film should be able to have a male love interest half her age. The 71-year-old actress says that was her own input into the script. \"I think that in the original script I was sent - not that I read it - my character Sigourney Weaver really was sleeping with young men,\" she explains. \"I said, 'Maybe not! Let's make it about an older actor who wants to convince a younger director that she is the appropriate partner for a young man.' \"It becomes more about the story, but we all worked together on the script to make those changes, so the story became much more political. It becomes much more about current problems in the business, and I think it was very satisfying.\" While the French film industry has long been admired in Hollywood, TV shows such as long-running police drama Spiral have recently made French television as exportable to the UK as Scandinavian drama has been. Call My Agent is now being remade in several countries, including the UK by the producers of the sitcom W1A. But it's reported that the current French series will be the last - which could be disappointing for other Hollywood actors who want to participate. However, Cottin says she may have intriguing news for the show's growing international fanbase. \"In terms of the show ending, I don't know the English idiom for the expression, but our creator Dominique says in French, 'I haven't said my last words yet.' So, it means he's dreaming of possible comebacks, but I don't yet know what will happen.\" The new series of Call My Agent is available on Netflix now.",

            "input": "By Jim ReedReporter, Victoria Derbyshire programme Tony Farrugia was just 14-years-old when his father Barry died of Aids. Over the next 20 years, two of his four uncles would also die in what was perhaps the worst treatment scandal in the NHS's history. In the 1970s and 80s, thousands of haemophiliacs - like members of Tony's family - were treated with contaminated blood products. Some 4,670 of them were later diagnosed with hepatitis C, while around 1,200 also contracted HIV. Many did not live long enough to be treated with modern drugs. Thirty years later, the survivors and their relatives have told the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire programme they are still fighting for answers. Some are worried that a new support scheme planned by the government could leave them struggling to pay mortgages and bills. Contamination Tony's father Barry was diagnosed with haemophilia - a genetic condition that prevents blood from clotting - as a baby. It took Tony almost 25 years to get hold of his father's medical records after his death. They show that Barry was a mild haemophiliac, whose symptoms could have been managed. He might not have needed to be treated with the blood clotting agent Factor VIII - the cause of the contamination - but it was prescribed anyway. The result was that he was infected with hepatitis B in the late 70s and then with HIV as early as 1980. Entries in the records show that doctors were aware he might have had the virus two years before he was finally told. By 1985, Barry's health had declined rapidly. Tony, then a teenager, was sent away to live with other family members but the new living arrangements did not work out and he was eventually placed in care. In the summer of 1986, he visited his father in hospital for the final time. \"He started to lose weight by then,\" Tony recalls, \"a lot of weight - so he was really, really skinny.\" \"I remember my dad asking me for some of my ice cream. I handed it to him, at which point one of the nurses intervened and said 'you can't give him that'. \"He had blisters in his mouth which were bleeding. I couldn't share an ice cream with my dad because they had given him Aids,\" he says. Barry's death in September 1986 split the family apart. Tony went back into care in Luton while his twin brother David went to a separate care home in North London. His older teenage brothers were left to fend for themselves. Family 'haunted' It was not until 2010 that he was reunited with other members of his family. \"That was the first time since dad died that we were together again,\" Tony says. \"That's what the [health service] did, they destroyed my dad with these viruses then they watched his family crumble.\" In the years after Barry's death the family continued to struggle. One of Barry's brothers, Vincent, was killed by Aids passed on through contaminated blood. In 2012, another brother, David, died suddenly of a brain haemorrhage linked to the hepatitis C he had contracted through Factor VIII. Madeline, David's widow, says the contaminated blood scandal has caused \"devastation\" to her family. \"I can put my hand on my heart and tell you I am not the same person [since David's death]. I will never be the same person,\" she said. \"It comes back to haunt you in so many ways.\" Madeline says the doctors who prescribed Factor VIII \"never, ever\" told them there was a risk of blood contamination. Angie, Barry's sister, adds: \"Treatment shouldn't kill you, should it? Medical treatment shouldn't kill you.\" The family say they also had to live with the stigma that surrounded Aids in the 1980s. On one occasion, Vincent had \"Aids scum\" scratched into his car. 'Face up' When he walked into his local cafe one day, everyone else got up and walked out. \"It was awful - awful - to see this happen to a person,\" Angie said. The family are still looking for answers as to why their relatives died and have called for a public inquiry. \"All we are after is recognition for the harm which was done. We still haven't got the truth and they haven't given us all the answers,\" says Tony. \"The government can't learn lessons until they face up to what they have done.\" There have been two previous inquiries. One was privately funded from donations and could not force health officials or ministers to testify. The other only looked at a small number of Scottish victims and did not have the power to summon witnesses from England. The Haemophilia Society is now calling for a full public inquiry into the scandal, something the government has so far ruled out. Victims and their families are also worried that a new financial support scheme currently being planned could leave some worse off. Under the proposals, a widow of a haemophiliac who died from Aids in England will receive a one-off sum of £10,000, compared to a lifetime payment of £27,750 a year in Scotland. 'A shambles' A new Welsh scheme announced this month is also significantly more generous than in England and Northern Ireland. \"The whole thing is a shambles, it's shameful,\" says Sue Threakall, of the campaign group Tainted Blood. \"These are payments which people rely on to pay their mortgages, pay rent and feed their families.\" The government says it has doubled the amount it is spending on support payments to those affected since 2015. \"This is significantly more than any previous government has provided for those affected by this tragedy,\" a spokesman for the Department of Health said. \"We will continue to listen and are currently consulting on new measures to extend the group of individuals who benefit from higher annual payments.\" Watch the Victoria Derbyshire programme on weekdays between 09:00 and 11:00 on BBC Two and the BBC News channel.",

Her birth comes just a few weeks before Dec heads to Australia to film the new series of I'm a Celebrity. Instead of hosting with his regular partner Ant McPartlin, who is taking a break from TV presenting, he is teaming up with Holly Willoughby. Astall and Donnelly, who were married in Newcastle three years ago, said they were \"thrilled to announce the arrival\" of Isla on Saturday morning and that mother and daughter were doing well. The Britain's Got Talent host shared a picture on Twitter of the baby's hand wrapped around his finger. The pair used to work together as Astall - who comes from Newcastle, Australia - was Donnelly's manager. McPartlin wrote on Twitter: \"Welcome to the world baby Isla Elizabeth Anne. Can't wait for cuddles. I love you already!!\". He signed the message \"Uncle Ant\". Friends have also congratulated the couple, with This Morning host Philip Schofield saying it was \"the BEST news\", and that he \"couldn't wait\" to meet Isla while presenter Ruth Langsford told the new dad that \"Isla will be wrapping you around her little finger from now on\". Donnelly has said this season of I'm a Celebrity would feel different without McPartlin, who stepped down from TV work in March to have treatment after admitting drinking and driving. He was banned from driving for 20 months after the incident in March and fined £86,000. But Donnelly promised it would be \"no less fun and eventful\" for viewers. No date has been announced for the return of the ITV jungle-set reality show, but last year's series launched at the end of November - funnily enough, with a joke about Willoughby replacing McPartlin. Ant and Dec have co-presented the show, which usually lasts for three weeks, since it began in 2002. Follow us on Facebook, on Twitter @BBCNewsEnts, or on Instagram at bbcnewsents.

Big European and Asian markets faced similar losses in 2018, while the main US indexes saw their worst performance since the 2008 financial crisis. The Dow Jones ended the year down 5.6%, the wider S&P 500 fell 6.2% and the tech-heavy Nasdaq lost 3.9%. US-China trade woes and slower global growth are among issues blamed for the poor showing. Analysts have also cited US political uncertainty and interest rate rises as contributing factors. As the year ended, the US was still in the grip of a government shutdown caused by President Donald Trump's determination to secure funding for a wall on the Mexican border to tackle illegal immigration. Mr Trump has also regularly rattled investors during the year by escalating his tit-for-tat trade tariff battle with China. Earlier this month, both sides agreed to suspend new tariffs to allow for talks. The president has also been at odds with the central bank, the Federal Reserve, over whether interest rates should be increased. At the same time, Europe has been rocked by political setbacks including Italy's budget row with Brussels, the waning authority of German Chancellor Angela Merkel, the \"gilets jaunes\" protesters in France and, of course, Brexit. Although sizeable in historic terms, the US stock market falls were smaller in scale than those seen elsewhere, arguably in part because of the economic stimulus provided by the Trump administration's $1.5tn Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, passed in December 2017. In Asia on Monday, Hong Kong's Hang Seng closed almost 14% down on the year, while the Nikkei fell almost 15% in 2018 and China's Shanghai Composite (SSE) saw a whopping 25% annual decline. In some territories, including the US, shares saw a modest upturn in thin New Year's Eve trading, boosted by optimism over the latest twist in US-Chinese trade relations. Investors drew some comfort from the latest comments by Mr Trump, who tweeted that he had had a \"long and very good call\" with Chinese President Xi Jinping and that a possible trade deal was making good progress. In the context of the year's overall market performance, however, it was too little, too late.",

            "input": "By Kevin PeacheyPersonal finance reporter, BBC News Barclaycard is hoping that UK customers attach the extra card to their mobile phones and use them at \"contactless\" terminals for everyday purchases. This wave-and-pay technology has been in place for a few years. It allows cardholders to spend up to £15 at certain stores, without entering a Pin. However, the latest product, which will be available to millions of Barclaycard customers by the end of the year, remains some way short of interactive banking on a mobile phone. 'Convenience' The Barclaycard PayTag is being offered to a group of customers who will receive letters in the coming days. It is one third of the size of a standard credit card, with a sticky reverse side. It will be sent without charge to customers who request it and will come in addition to their regular credit card. The credit card provider believes that people should stick it to the back of their mobile phone handset because most adults carry their phone with them at all times. Cardholders may choose to attach it to their wallet or a key ring, instead. Barclaycard's Tom Gregory said that the new product gave anyone the opportunity to use a credit card stuck to their phone, without having to upgrade their mobile. However, the implication is that a big take-up would eventually allow Barclaycard to approach mobile phone manufacturers with evidence that inserting a payment chip in a handset would be popular. So far, this technology is available to some Barclaycard customers with certain Orange phones in the UK, but it has not yet taken off as it has in other countries such as Japan. David Chan, chief executive of Barclaycard Consumer Europe, said he wanted the product to \"open people's eyes to mobile payments\". Retailers' concerns Contactless technology is available on a range of credit and debit cards. Originally there was a limit of £10 on wave-and-go purchases. That maximum level now stands at £15 and is set to increase to £20 in June. This is generally the kind of amount spent on debit cards, rather than credit cards, although Barclaycard is clearly encouraging customers to make more everyday purchases on a credit card. These will then be outlined on their monthly statement. Some users may worry that a card visibly stuck to the back of their phone makes it more attractive to thieves. But if a card is used fraudulently, banks must make refunds without question. If the card is used differently to the cardholder's normal habits, then Barclaycard will contact the customer to check there are no security issues. So far, contactless payment is permitted at stores including Tesco, Boots, Pret a Manger and Eat. However, since its launch, concerns have been raised that as more people choose to use cards instead of cash, the cost to retailers increases. The British Retail Consortium (BRC) estimates that accepting cash payments costs shops on average 1.7p per transaction, but a bank charges the shop on average about 9.2p per transaction for debit card transactions and 37.1p for credit card transactions. The BRC has said that some shops may have to increase prices to pay the extra charges.",

The protesters, many from indigenous groups, left the site after several hours following a judge's order. The government says the project is crucial to meeting energy needs. The Indian Missionary Council (Cimi), an organisation backed by the Catholic Church, said more than 600 Indians, fishermen and locals occupied the site and the road leading to it. Cimi called on the government to send representatives to negotiate with the indigenous groups, who they say would suffer from the building of the dam. \"In the face of the government's intransigence and its insistence on disrespecting us, we now occupy the Belo Monte construction site and block access to it from the Transamazon highway,\" Cimi said on its website. A judge subsequently issued an order for the demonstrators to leave, which they agreed to respect. \"We left as peacefully as we entered. It was a peaceful protest to draw attention to this project that spells death for the Amazon,\" Cimi spokesman Eden Magalhaes told the AFP news agency. Legal battle Building work on the dam was halted last month after a judge ruled against it on environmental grounds, but the construction of accommodation blocks for the project's workers was allowed to continue. Judge Carlos Castro Martins barred any work that would interfere with the natural flow of the Xingu river. He ruled in favour of a fisheries group which argued that the Belo Monte dam would affect local fish stocks and could harm indigenous families who make a living from fishing. Judge Martins barred the Norte Energia company behind the project from \"building a port, using explosives, installing dikes, building canals and any other infrastructure work that would interfere with the natural flow of the Xingu river, thereby affecting local fish stocks\". He said the building of canals and dykes could have negative repercussions for river communities living off small-scale fishing. The consortium behind the project is expected to appeal against the decision. In June, the Brazilian environment agency backed the construction, dismissing concerns by environmentalists and indigenous groups who argue that it will harm the world's largest tropical rainforest and displace tens of thousands of people. The agency, Ibama, said the dam had been subjected to \"robust analysis\" of its impact on the environment. The 11,000-megawatt dam would be the third biggest in the world - after the Three Gorges in China, and Itaipu, which is jointly run by Brazil and Paraguay.",

Steve McQueen's 12 Years a Slave had 10 nods, with five in the main categories including best film, best director and best actor for Chiwetel Ejiofor. Michael Fassbender and Lupita Nyong'o also landed supporting nominations. American Hustle equalled 12 Years a Slave's tally, with nominations in all the acting categories for its stars Amy Adams, Christian Bale, Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence. The 1970s drama, about two con artists who get entangled with the FBI, is also up for best film, with David O Russell nominated for best director and original screenplay. Ejiofor, who was previously nominated for Bafta's Rising Star award in 2006, told the BBC working on 12 Years a Slave was \"one of the greatest experiences I've had as an actor\". \"To be received this way by Bafta is a really phenomenal moment,\" he added. Ejiofor will compete for his award against Bale, Tom Hanks for Captain Phillips, Bruce Dern for Nebraska and Leonardo DiCaprio for The Wolf of Wall Street. The best actress category will see Bullock challenge Adams, Cate Blanchett for Blue Jasmine, Emma Thompson for Saving Mr Banks and Dame Judi Dench for Philomena. The nominations saw Dame Judi set a Bafta record, with her 15th acting nomination. That puts her one ahead of Meryl Streep, who was overlooked in the best actress category for August: Osage County. \"I'm very proud to be associated with this film and I thank Bafta voters for the nomination. I'm honoured and thrilled to be in such fine company,\" Dame Judi said. Other movies competing for best film include Captain Phillips and Philomena, while the latter is also nominated for best British film alongside Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom, Saving Mr Banks, The Selfish Giant and Rush. Gravity, Saving Mr Banks and Rush all qualified for the British film category because they were either filmed in the UK, utilised British effects companies or employed other British talent, from writers to producers. The rules are set out by the BFI's cultural test, which determines which films are eligible for UK tax relief. Actress Helen McCrory, who announced the nominations, told the BBC it was important for Bafta to recognise British films separately. \"I think it's important we let the world know what we're doing here,\" she said. \"We might have American actors in those leads, but this is British money, this is British craftsmanship and this is British investment. We should be incredibly proud and celebrate that.\" She also praised Ejiofor, calling him a \"superb actor\". \"There's a reason people rise within their professions, it's not just talent and Chiwetel has the whole package - he's intelligent, he's eloquent and he's talented.\" The best director category mirrored that of the Directors Guild of America - which announced its film nominations on Tuesday. Both bodies shortlisted McQueen, Cuaron and Russell alongside Paul Greengrass for Captain Phillips and Martin Scorsese for The Wolf of Wall Street. BBC film critic Mark Kermode said although Gravity leads the nominations, his money was on 12 Years a Slave winning best film. \"It's an extraordinary film... it is very, very powerful,\" he said. \"A wonderful leading performance from Chiwetel Ejiofor, who is absolutely fantastic in that central role. \"It's one of those films - it has momentum, it has public support and critical support. I would be very surprised if it doesn't come away from the awards ceremonies with several winners.\" Notable snubs in the acting categories included Robert Redford for sea drama All is Lost and Matthew McConaughey for Dallas Buyers Club - both of whom have been tipped for Oscar consideration this year. British actor Idris Elba was also left off the shortlist for his portrayal of Nelson Mandela in Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom. Monday saw Bafta announce the five young actors nominated for this year's Rising Star award. 12 Years a Slave actress Nyong'o will compete against Blue is the Warmest Colour star Lea Seydoux and Sunshine on Leith's George MacKay.

            "input": "In common with a lot of Africans who have lived outside the continent, as I neared 60 I started to plan a return home, after spending far too long living in the West. I also stopped finding reasons - or possibly excuses - not to return. I grew up and went to school in Sierra Leone, but in 1970 left to go to college in England. I am of the generation that disappointed their parents; not that they would ever have said so. One of the biggest differences between us and them was that while they studied abroad, in the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s, they went back. My generation of travellers studied and stayed. Our continent was blessed with a plethora of men and women who completed their studies in the West and East and returned to either join a liberation struggle, or play their part in newly independent nations. However, the unstable post-independence political situation in some countries dissuaded many of us from copying the elder generation. But as I got older, and the situation changed, I narrowed my return down to four possible countries: The Gambia, Sierra Leone, Ghana or Cape Verde. All countries where I felt at home. Finally, in mid-2019, I heeded the call of my best friend, Sam, who had returned to Ghana some nine years earlier. \"What are you scared of?\" he asked. \"Take the plunge.\" We decided that I should not start things off just with a visit to the capital, Accra, where he lived, but we should incorporate a road trip to the second city, Kumasi. This would give me a chance to see the real country beyond the capital. And to discuss the things that would help me on my return. It turned out to be a kind of meditation on all the reasons why we left and what was drawing us back. This was not the Africa of the imagination - which has had a big influence on African-Americans, for example, wanting to emigrate. This was a place of our of childhood and adolescent memories. There was nostalgia but also a recognition of how things had changed. Tasty squid I looked forward to, and was not disappointed by, the street food. On our first stop I had squid and a delicious pepper sauce. It took me a while to start eating it but when I did I wished we had bought much more. We discussed the education system. We were all too conscious of how standards had plummeted not long after we left. But now, my friend felt able to take his daughter out of a fee-paying school in England and enrol her in a school in Ghana, the equivalent of the one she left. When it came to health, there was the issue of a head of state or minister going abroad for treatment, but these systems at home had improved a lot or were improving after years of neglect. Though I could not escape that twinge of nostalgia for the churning red dusty roads of my youth, I appreciated the smooth highway to Kumasi. The signs of construction everywhere signalled progress and development. And I was pleased to see that there were now real attempts to preserve ancient arts and cultural artefacts - mainly in museums. You may also be interested in: I was even more thrilled to see a vibrant, flourishing arts scene. I attended the launch of an exhibition of modern art at a gallery, the setting of which would not have seemed out of place in London or Paris. Also, the music industry is thriving and a viable option for the musically talented. But there were things that hadn't changed. It was a delight to experience the heat and the colour. I gazed up at the night sky and saw thousands of stars. On the roadside, I saw mounds of oranges, bananas and mangoes for sale. To many, these may seem small things, but they are simple pleasures that lift my spirit and were things I had really missed. I hadn't realised how much. Benefits outweigh problems Some may say that I'm wearing rose-tinted spectacles. But I have lived in the West and know that the streets there are not paved with gold. Yes, we still struggle with electricity generation and we have bloated military and police forces. I know that corruption seems to be really difficult to shake. I also know that there is a disregard for timekeeping bordering on disrespect and that driving is more hazardous than elsewhere in the world. And yet, we were convinced we'd both made the right decision - him in Ghana and me back in The Gambia. It's great to be home.

Annoyed? \"I'm thinking if we make sacrifices now, it'll hopefully that means we can all go home at Christmas,\" 18-year-old Maja tells Radio 1 Newsbeat from her halls at the University of Edinburgh. Scotland's first minister, Nicola Sturgeon, has just announced new coronavirus restrictions. They will mean all licenced pubs and restaurants in the central belt - including Glasgow and Edinburgh - will be shut for more than two weeks. But Maja, for one, is feeling relatively calm about the whole thing: \"I think it's probably necessary because the virus has spread so fast here lately. \"It is a shame, though, because it leaves us with not very much to do, especially at uni.\" The closures affect around 3.4 million people. In the rest of Scotland, pubs will be allowed to stay open, but can only serve alcohol outdoors. Nicola Sturgeon has described it as a \"short, sharp action to arrest a worrying increase in infection\". Maja thinks it's justified, too - even if it does mean traditional uni life will be stalled. \"Most of us turned 18 during lockdown so we've never had experience going to clubs, so it'll just be a new thing for us when they open again,\" she says. People in Scotland are already banned from socialising with other households inside homes. \"I've not seen my family since moving in at the start of September,\" Maja says. \"They were going to come down next week and see me, but it doesn't look like that's going to happen now. \"If they do come, I can't go into the hotel and see them - we could only go to the shop really. \"So it looks like it'll be at Christmas when we're next together… if I'm allowed home, that is.\" As you might expect, however, this announcement has been pretty divisive. The Scottish Hospitality Group, which includes many of the the country's best known pubs and restaurants, has accused the first minister of \"effectively signing a death sentence\" for many businesses. And Ellen, who's 25 and from Glasgow, doesn't think it'll even work. \"I'm working from home so going out at the weekend socialising with my friends is a massive part of my life and not being able to do that is going to be really tough,\" she says. \"These new rules are totally stopping people from drinking outside of their homes and I worry that younger people will just have a lot more house parties. \"Not being able to have a place to go and drink is quite a dangerous thing and I think in Scotland people will just go drink in parks and stuff, which will defeat the purpose of closing the pubs.\" Follow Newsbeat on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.

During its official launch in Wrexham on Thursday, the operator promised there would be more trains between Holyhead and London. The operator's parent company is a partnership between Aberdeen-based firm FirstGroup and Italy's Trenitalia. Avanti West Coast replaces Virgin Trains, which was Britain's longest-running rail franchise after 22 years of service. Steve Montgomery, chief executive of FirstGroup, said: \"We are going to see a lot of investment in new trains, with £350m being spent and 13 of those will work into Wales, they'll be electrical-diesel trains so very much more environmentally friendly and that will allow us to put additional services in place.\" The new trains, which Avanti West Coast promises will include better wi-fi and catering, are expected to enter into service in 2022, and the existing fleet of Pendolino trains will be refurbished.

A Labour spokesman described her remarks as \"deeply offensive\". The peer remains Labour's elected deputy leader in the House of Lords. At a meeting of the centre-left Labour First group earlier this week, Baroness Hayter was reported by HuffPost to have said: \"Those of you who haven't [read the book] will have seen the film Bunker, about the last days of Hitler, where you stop receiving any information into the inner group which suggests that things are not going the way you want.\" The peer was critical of Mr Corbyn's inner circle, who she claimed had refused to give the party's ruling National Executive Committee key information on party finances, membership figures and anti-Semitism data. A Labour Party spokesman said: \"Dianne Hayter has been sacked from her frontbench position with immediate effect for her deeply offensive remarks about Jeremy Corbyn and his office. \"To compare the Labour leader and Labour Party staff working to elect a Labour government to the Nazi regime is truly contemptible, and grossly insensitive to Jewish staff in particular.\" BBC assistant political editor Norman Smith said \"at first glance\" it looked as if Mr Corbyn was cracking down on the type of language used by Baroness Hayter. \"But the person who made those comments has been one of the those more prominent critics of Mr Corbyn,\" he said. \"What this will look like is Mr Corbyn wanting to take out some of his more prominent critics.\" Labour MP Wes Streeting, a critic of Mr Corbyn, tweeted that the sacking was a \"gross over-reaction\" to the comments, but said it did \"reinforce what she did describe, which was a bunker mentality at the top\". \"Nice to know that swift action is taken to protect Jeremy Corbyn's feelings, but shame we can't act against racists,\" he said. The peer's sacking is the latest development in Labour's long-running dispute over anti-Semitism, which has led to MPs and peers quitting the party. Baroness Hayter was one of four peers who wrote to Mr Corbyn to call for an investigation into claims aired in a BBC Panorama programme that senior figures in the party interfered in the disciplinary process of dealing with anti-Semitism complaints. Earlier on Wednesday, 67 of Baroness Hayter's fellow Labour peers took out a newspaper advert accusing Mr Corbyn of \"failing the test of leadership\" over the issue of anti-Semitism. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Theresa May said it was a \"disgrace\" Mr Corbyn had \"dodged his responsibility\" for tackling anti-Jewish prejudice. The Labour leader insisted he was \"dealing\" with the issue and accused Mrs May of failing to address her own party's problems with Islamophobia.",

In one case bailiffs boarded a plane. EasyJet says it is changing its policies about claims, while TUI Airways has launched an investigation. On-the-spot payments Bailiffs are arriving at the offices of leading UK airlines, and staff are paying on-the-spot with debit and credit cards, an investigation by You and Yours has found. If staff fail to pay up the bailiffs can remove and sell their office equipment and furniture. In one case, bailiffs boarded a plane belonging to a small European airline and prevented it from taking off until the owners paid up. Since 2005, EU rules state that passengers who have had their flights cancelled or delayed three hours or more, are entitled to compensation of around £500, depending on the flight. But when they put their claims in, many passengers have found the airline ignores them. Ignored As a result, some passengers have turned to lawyers to get compensation, but they too have been ignored. TUI Airways and EasyJet now have thousands of unpaid County Court judgments against them. When You and Yours searched official records, there were so many outstanding court orders against EasyJet and TUI Airways that the official websites crashed. New court judgements are being registered against TUI Airways at a rate of around 20 a day. Some passengers have turned to solicitors, including Bott and Co, which acts on behalf of flight delay clients and in some cases sends in bailiffs to recover compensation. \"Passengers shouldn't have to go to lawyers at all to get what they're owed,\" solicitor Coby Benson told the programme. \"The airlines ignore solicitors who present a formal letter for compensation, then ignore the court proceedings and finally they ignore the judgement against them as well,\" he said. He added: \"The airlines think they can bury their heads in the sand thinking that the problem is going to go away, but that's not the case\". 'Concern' Bott and Co, which describes bailiffs as \"a last resort\" says they've sent them to airline offices \"dozens of times.\" In a statement, TUI Airways told You and Yours: \"We're extremely concerned and disappointed by the volume of these [judgements].\" It added: \"We are conducting a full and thorough investigation to understand what has happened and to resolve the situation.\" EasyJet said: \"Historically, we have chosen not to defend all EU261 County Court cases in certain circumstances.

His two rivals paid tribute to him, Mrs Long-Bailey saying he would be make \"brilliant prime minister\" and she \"would do all she could to make that a reality\". Ms Nandy said she was proud of her campaign and offered Labour's new leader her \"full support in the challenges that lie ahead\". \"Our country is crying out for fresh leadership. We start today.\" 'Constructive opposition' Sir Keir's first task will be to lead Labour's response to the coronavirus emergency, and he has accepted an invitation to take part in cross-party talks with the prime minister and the government's top scientific advisers next week, to \"work together\" on the crisis. He has already spoken to England's Chief Medical Officer Chris Whitty and Simon Stevens, the chief executive of NHS England, about the current situation. Sir Keir said he had been elected \"at a moment like no other\" and promised to work \"constructively\" with the government to confront the pandemic and not engage in \"opposition for opposition's sake\". But he added: \"We will shine a torch on critical issues and where we see mistakes or faltering government or things not happening as quickly as they should we'll challenge that and call that out. \"Our purpose when we do that is the same as the government's, to save lives and to protect our country.\" Mr Corbyn congratulated his successor and said he looked forward to working with him to \"elect the next Labour government and transform our country\". Other prominent Labour figures have welcomed Sir Keir's decisive victory, with former leader Ed Miliband saying \"his decency, values and intelligence are what our country needs at this time of crisis\". Labour MP David Lammy, who backed Sir Keir's candidacy, said he was \"ecstatic\" about the outcome. Outgoing shadow chancellor John McDonnell, who backed Ms Long-Bailey, urged the party to \"unite now as a movement to achieve our socialist aim\". Sir Keir received an early boost after his supporters won effective control of Labour's National Executive Committee, the party's ruling body, following a series of separate elections. The BBC's political editor Laura Kuenssberg said Sir Keir's team had not been expecting a clean sweep and it would make it much easier for him to run the party and make any changes he wanted.",

For example 431 Texans and 593 Californians are unaccounted for, while there is one man from Alaska on the list of missing. Most of them - about 5,300 - were lost in what is now North Korea, according to the US defence agency that oversees the process of recovering the remains of American troops. And the US Army says it knows exactly where many are buried. Fighting stopped in 1953 - but technically the two Koreas remain at war. The conflict ended with an armistice agreement not a peace treaty. American-led UN forces, including troops from the UK, supported the South, while Chinese forces joined the war on the North's side. Estimates vary, but at least two million Korean civilians, up to 1.5 million communist and about 400,000 South Korean, 30,000 US and 1,000 UK service personnel are believed to have died. Why raise this issue now? For years, teams of American researchers and scientists, with the help of North Koreans, uncovered and returned the remains of US troops found in North and South Korea. Between 1996 and 2005, 33 recovery operations were conducted in North Korea and 200 sets of remains were returned. And the US government paid compensation to North Koreans involved in the relief effort, $15m (£11m) according to the Congressional Research Service. Another six sets of remains were returned in a one-off operation in 2007. But joint operations have stalled for more than a decade because the US government said it could not guarantee the safety of the investigators. And in 2012, the US Army said it had suspended efforts to find the remains of US servicemen due to North Korean threats to launch a ballistic missile. The remains of soldiers are believed to be in: In the past, North Korean defectors have been screened for information concerning Americans who might be alive in the North. But since 1995, and after interviews with 25,000 North Korean defectors, no \"useful information\" has been revealed, according to the US. Some American soldiers have lived in North Korea, though.

Its towers have been a landmark in the area for almost 50 years. Scottish Power project manager George Camps said 150 holes had been drilled in each tower, then filled with explosives. \"The drill holes weaken the structure when the charges go off,\" he explained. \"They are on one side, which causes the chimneys to come in towards each other.\" The \"button press\", which will start demolition of both chimneys, will be carried out by East Lothian resident Donald McCulloch, who won a charity raffle. An exclusion zone will be in place from 09:00 to ensure that the demolition can be carried out safely. The safety restrictions will cover the Greenhills, sections of Edinburgh Road and the John Muir Way, as well as extending into the Firth of Forth. There will also be traffic restrictions around the power station from 07:00. Scottish Power said viewing locations in the immediate vicinity of the power station would be very limited. The twin chimney stacks were constructed in time for the coal station opening in 1967. The turbine hall structure is predominantly made of steel. Craig Yorkston, who worked at Cockenzie Power Station for 30 years, said: \"I think its quite a pretty power station. \"I've seen many power stations, and Cockenzie seemed to be designed and built to try and fit as much as possible into the local surroundings.\"",

            "input": "By Emma TraceyBBC News, Ouch In the UK those who want a career in acting are likely to attend drama school or another form of formal training. But many disabled people feel they can't go down this route due to lack of access, or because of prejudice. \"If you weren't disabled, we'd definitely let you in,\" was one response that actor and director Simon Startin received from a drama school at the start of his career 20 years ago. \"These were the good old days when they could be blatant about it,\" he jokes. Another school told him they'd let him in if he \"got cured\". He told Ouch's talk show that he did eventually go to drama school - impressively only 16 out of thousands of applicants were successful that year - but believes he got in because his disability is \"visibly mild\" and he did not require accessible adaptations, like ramps or lifts to be installed. \"I have a clenched body so I can get away with being 'odd' in able-bodied parlance,\" he says. \"If you have more severe disabilities, then drama schools are in no way set up to cope with that.\" Louise Dyson runs VisABLE People, a casting agency for disabled actors. \"I get hundreds of emails from disabled people all over the world each week who want acting work,\" she says, but, though Dyson has encouraged a large number of students to go to drama school and most schools have been receptive, few aspiring disabled actors are drama school trained when they first make contact with her agency. The numbers who have formal drama training when they first approach VisAble People haven't increased since Dyson started the agency in 1994. \"I'm really sad to say that, because I think that training is really important,\" she says. One college who appear to be telling a more positive story is the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama in London. In 2013-14 almost a quarter of students attending full-time courses there had a declared disability, a higher percentage than the number of disabled people living in the whole UK. \"We are very proud of the work we do to support applicants and registered students who have one or more disabilities,\" says Dr Catherine McNamara who chairs the college's equality and diversity committee. Their disabled student numbers have been around this level for the 12 years she's worked there. She's keen to say that these figures represent their mainstream classes and do not include the students with learning disabilities on their part-time specialist Diploma in Performance Making. Startin doesn't think a career in acting has to come via a full-time drama school placement but thinks some kind of training is crucial. \"If actors have no training, the ability to apply yourself and the tools for the job aren't there,\" he says. \"Those without training are unlikely to get past any audition stage if they apply for a role because of the standards and prejudices of mainstream theatres.\" More from Ouch A number of schemes which trained those actors unable to access drama school have been and gone. The Missing Piece, for example, was a programme run by disability theatre company Graeae with London Metropolitan University in the 90s and early 2000s. It was an intensive four month course. Startin says that \"a whole tranche\" of disabled actors came from that scheme and found jobs in TV, radio and on stage. He says that disabled actors \"occasionally drip through\" now but are thin on the ground. Recently he needed to find a young blind male actor for a role in A Midsummer Night's Dream but struggled and chose to recast the character as female because he was able to find a blind actress who was more suitable. Diversity has perhaps been discussed more since actor, producer and comedian Lenny Henry started to lend his weight to the matter regarding BAME representation. Other minority groups, including disabled people, have benefited from the focus. In July 2014, BBC Director General Tony Hall pledged to quadruple the number of disabled people on screen by 2017, and in January this year Channel 4 published a diversity charter stating that at least one main character in every drama and comedy commissioned must be from a minority group - this includes disability. In November 2014, ITV announced a section of their commissioning process called the Social Partnership Programme. While it doesn't explicitly lay down targets for disability representation, it obliges producers to prove that their output visually reflects the diverse make up of Britain and that they have recruited production staff to help improve diversity in the industry as a whole. Dyson works with channels on their diversity schemes and says that Channel 4's promise to audition two disabled actors for every drama is a \"big step forward\". Eddie Redmayne has been widely praised for his depiction of Stephen Hawking in The Theory of Everything, including by people who have motor neurone disease, the same impairment as the professor. But even though non-disabled actors have often received awards for their portrayal of disability, disabled commentator Mik Scarlet told the Ouch disability talk show that it must end because they \"overdo\" it. \"The person playing it has no knowledge of disability, has no understanding of it,\" he says. Dyson adds that there is a problem when casting directors expect an exact disability and illness match from disabled actors. Often the match just isn't there and that's when they start looking at non-disabled actors again. She says disabled actors should have the first stab at those jobs because they don't tend to get the chance to audition for roles where there's no disability mentioned. Simon Startin says he has chosen to play characters with more pronounced impairments than his own. \"I've 'cripped' up in the past,\" he says, referring to a time he portrayed Caliban from Shakespeare's The Tempest as having cerebral palsy. \"I wanted to play him as a disabled character because he's ostracised and spat at by everybody - and hated. He's described as a monster.\" Startin happily admits that, for this role, his own disability \"just wouldn't cut it\".

A spokesman said the aim was to ease \"growing congestion\" and that anyone found \"circling\" faces a £25 penalty. Motorists and taxi drivers expressed anger at the move. Paul Brent, chairman of the National Taxi Association, said it was \"a money-making exercise\" by the airport that could \"put taxi drivers off\". Private hire taxi drivers who are frequent users of the airport will be offered a discount of up to 40%, while blue badge holders will not be charged, the airport said. But Mr Brent said drivers \"might refuse\" a fare \"knowing that's £3 or £4 I've lost before I take the job\". \"But to be fair, I would say we have to give it many months to evaluate properly whether it has a positive effect,\" he added.

The 24-hour shuttle bus will operate every 15 minutes with journeys taking between five and seven minutes to all three terminals. People should take into account the extra travel time, said a spokesman. Motorists picking up passengers are not affected by the change and will continue to pay £4 for up to 30 minutes in the airport's multi-storey car parks. Chief operating officer Tricia Williams said: \"We are committed to ensuring people can still be dropped off for free\" and have \"carefully chosen\" the location of the shuttle drop-off site \"due to its proximity to all terminals and the motorway network.\" The airport said proceeds will \"go into a new public transport fund\" to \"improve access to our site for employment opportunities as well as passengers using public transport\". In March, the airport revealed it was planning to scrap its free \"kiss and fly\" drop-off lanes, saying \"extreme congestion\" had left its terminal forecourts \"broken\". Automatic number plate recognition will be used and drop-off fees will be taken at the exit barrier by card or cash. The airport said one of the main causes of the congestion was the \"high proportion of vehicles re-circulating around the campus\". At peak times, one in five drivers has to do an extra lap of the airport before they can find a drop-off space, even though 84% stay for less than five minutes. Anyone trying to avoid the fees by lapping the airport will face a £25 fine, the airport confirmed.",

            "input": "By Fergal KeaneBBC News, Nay Pyi Taw On the walls are the portraits of past Burmese leaders, beginning with her father General Aung San, assassinated on the eve of independence in 1947, and continuing into the era of thuggish military rule, face after forgotten face for whom nobody had ever voted in a democratic election. The new leader, elected with an overwhelming popular mandate, arrived surrounded by civil servants and guarded by police, fresh from meetings and with many more planned later in the day. Her interview with me was the first this year and a rare encounter with the media. Aung San Suu Kyi has been bruised by the criticism over her handling of the Rohingya Muslim crisis in Rakhine state. It is a long way from the days when reporters, myself included, made the journey to her home by the lake in Rangoon, also known as Yangon, to listen to her expound on the virtues of universal human rights. Back when I first met her in July 1995 she was a political prisoner a few days free, eager for news of the world and particularly South Africa, where I had just completed my assignment as the BBC correspondent covering the transition to democracy. She had followed my reports on the BBC World Service and was keen to know how the African National Congress managed to achieve the end of apartheid. There was an innocent eagerness about her back then, a hunger for knowledge on everything ranging from microfinance to the latest news in poetry and literary fiction. Then, as her popularity grew and the army became nervous, there was another long period of house arrest. The army continued with its repression. Thousands were rounded up during the peaceful, and abortive, protests by monks in 2007. She was only finally released three years later and allowed to resume a full-time political career. The woman I meet this week in Nay Pyi Taw in 2017 is undoubtedly changed. The heroine of the human rights community is now alienated from many of her old international supporters. She is wary of the media and disdainful of her international critics, far more the steely politician than the global icon feted from capital to capital when she was released seven years ago. Our exchange on Rakhine was polite but robust. I told her that having covered many conflicts I thought that what I'd seen in Rakhine state amounted to ethnic cleansing. Did she worry that instead of being remembered as an icon of human rights it would be as the Nobel laureate who refused to confront ethnic cleansing in her own country? No. She refuses to accept this definition, speaking instead of two communities divided and explaining her lack of public activism as not wishing to fan the flames of hatred through condemnation. It is also clear that the sharp turn in western voices, from adulation to condemnation, irks her. The more UN officials demand she does something, the less likely, it strikes me, that she will accede. There is a profound paradox here. I and other journalists in Asia remember the days when it was the military regime that denounced our reporting of human rights abuses and accused us of exaggeration. Now these complaints are levelled by a democratically elected government led by a former political prisoner. It is true that not all of the allegations that emerge from Rakhine state are true, and that the latest violence was sparked by militant attacks on the police. But the weight of evidence suggests an appalling toll on the lives of innocent people going back well before the recent appearance of a radical Rohingya groups. One of the most powerful memories I have of ethnic intolerance - and this is after reporting on Rwanda and atrocities in the Balkans - is seeing the plight of Rohingya penned into a ghetto in Sittwe, the capital of Rakhine, and listening to the toxic rhetoric of Buddhist monks near a burned out Muslim village. The crisis in Rakhine will cause Aung San Suu Kyi no problems among the majority of Burmese, who remain loyal supporters of her National League for Democracy. She has the support of the street even if her backing in ethnic minority areas is declining. However the alienation felt by international supporters could become a problem if the military refuses to accede to her demand to change a constitution that gives them power over key ministries like defence and home affairs, and which prevents Aung San Suu Kyi from becoming president. She is too shrewd a politician to be unaware of this risk. But conceding to international critics whose analysis she refuses to accept would be totally out of character.",

Airbus employs 6,000 people at its wings plant in Broughton, Flintshire. Prime Minister Theresa May has suggested the UK government would like a transition period of about two years. A transition phase could mean that the arrangement for how the UK trades with the EU currently - in the single market - is maintained ahead of any new deal coming into force. In written evidence to the Commons' Business Committee, Airbus added that failure to reach a deal with the EU would have \"significant consequences\" for the company. In January, the company's chief operating officer Tom Williams told MPs that it would be \"entering a dangerous phase\" if Airbus could not seamlessly move people and products around the EU. The EU's chief Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier has also said that firms such as Airbus face new \"constraints\" in moving parts and staff between its European sites. The firm said at the time it was confident it would \"get over\" any new restrictions. In its latest evidence document, the company noted that its employees make about 80,000 trips a year between the UK and the remaining EU countries. The company said it also exports more than £6bn worth of product into the EU. It currently relies on the \"seamless\" flow of goods and people between its sites in the UK, France, Germany and Spain. Any new visa requirements would \"make UK skilled employees more complicated to deal with and make programmes that involve the UK more bureaucratic\" affecting the \"long-term competitiveness of UK sites,\" Airbus said in its evidence. \"If costs increase as a result of the UK leaving the EU, this will inevitably impact future UK investment decisions.\" The company's warnings about a transition period and a \"no deal\" scenario comes ahead of a meeting in Downing Street between Mrs May and senior ministers to try to make progress on the stalled Brexit talks. This \"divorce bill\" is one of the main reasons for the logjam in negotiations, with the EU saying it will not discuss a new trade deal with the UK until such issues have been settled. Welsh Government Finance Secretary Mark Drakeford said on Monday that no amount of public money and preparation from ministers in Cardiff would \"avoid the harm\" to Wales if the UK government fails to reach a Brexit deal with the European Union. Mr Drakeford said there was nothing the Welsh Government could do to \"mitigate the impact\" of a \"no deal\" scenario on Welsh exporters and ports.

How the Lac-Megantic disaster unfolded On 6 July 2013, 47 people died in the small eastern Quebec town in the major derailment - deaths a Quebec coroner later called both \"violent\" and \"avoidable\". Most victims had to be identified from DNA samples and dental records. Just after 01:00 local time on Saturday morning, an unattended runaway train carrying 7.7m litres of petroleum crude oil barrelled into Lac-Megantic at 65 mph (104 km/h) and jumped the tracks near the centre of town. It slammed to a stop and erupted in flames. The ensuing inferno destroyed most of the lakeside town's downtown core. Twenty-seven children lost parents, over 2,000 people were evacuated and dozens of homes were destroyed. Over 40 buildings were razed - including the public library - and millions of litres of oil seeped into the soil and the nearby Chaudiere river. Phone calls between Labrie, Demaitre, and Harding from the night of 6 July were released during the trial. They paint a hindsight picture of missed chances to prevent the disaster and capture the men's slow realisation it was the 72-car convoy under their care that derailed in town. 'It was secure, RJ' In an early call between Harding and Labrie, the traffic controller informs his colleague the lead locomotive, which had been experiencing mechanical problems, had caught fire. Labrie tells Harding firemen had extinguished the flames and dismisses the engineer's offers to check on the train. \"Call me back RJ,\" said Harding. \"No, go to bed,\" Labrie responded. At 01:47 local time, Harding calls after being evacuated from his hotel. The train had derailed about 30 minutes earlier. Harding tells Labrie that Lac-Megantic is on fire \"from the church all the way down to the Metro, from the river all the way to the railway tracks\". He describes flames reaching 200ft (61m). Not much later, Labrie calls Harding with the news it was the MMA train that caused the inferno. \"It's your train that rolled down,\" Labrie said. \"No,\" replied Harding. \"No, RJ.\" He cursed and said \"It was secure, RJ, when I left\". Canada's Transportation Safety Board (TSB) found a chain of 18 contributing factors to the disaster, among them mechanical problems with the lead locomotive, insufficient use of handbrakes, a lax safety culture at train company MMA and inadequate oversight by Transport Canada. \"Take any one of them out of the equation and this accident may not have happened,\" the TSB's Wendy Tadros said after the report's release in 2014. The TSB harshly criticised MMA, saying employees lacked training on the use of handbrakes and how to secure trains. Tadros called it \"a shortline railway running its operations at the margins\" by cutting corners on engine maintenance and training. \"It changed everything, this tragedy,\" says Lac-Megantic Mayor Julie Morin. \"But it's also an opportunity to rebuild, and rebuild better. And that's what we're doing.\" Nearly five years after the tragedy, the town is still in the middle of a multi-million dollar reconstruction project following a lengthy decontamination process. Morin says the trial's outcome won't change much for Lac-Megantic. \"Yes, there were men behind this tragedy,\" she says. \"But there was a company, there was a government, other factors. And we still have a train that passes through downtown.\" The town is lobbying for a railway bypass around Lac-Megantic to divert the freight trains that continue to whistle along the same tracks where the MMA train derailed. \"That's the only thing that preoccupies us,\" says Morin. \"All the rest - it changes nothing about what happened and what we're living with now.\" Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has promised to expedite the process to get the track built. At the epicentre of the blast was the Musi-Cafe, a popular bar that was packed in the early Saturday morning hours that balmy July night. Thirty of the victims perished in that establishment, which became a symbol of the disaster. Musi-Cafe was rebuilt in 2014 at a separate location. The names of the victims who died there are etched into the bar's new speakers. Near its former site in the \"red zone\" of where the derailment occurred, a place of remembrance will be built. Resident Richard Custeau is representing grieving families on the committee developing the memorial. He lost his brother, Réal Custeau, that night. The 57-year-old lived in an apartment near the train tracks and the Musi-Cafe. How does the town start a new chapter without forgetting its past? \"If you asked me that question one year after I would have said 'we'll see with time,'\" he says. \"Now I don't think we'll ever find the perfect balance.\" Custeau says before the trial of the MMA employees began in October, he told himself he wouldn't miss a day. \"But now I just find it so wretched for those three men. It must be such a heavy burden to carry,\" he says. \"I prefer that justice takes care of it and I wish them luck, that's all I can say.\" By many accounts, the tragedy has weighed heavily on Harding's shoulders. During the trial, a Quebec provincial police investigator testified that the engineer was waiting at the police station the morning of the accident and co-operated willingly with authorities. Randy MacDonald knew both Harding and his father, and worked the same rail routes when he was employed with Canadian Pacific Railway. He hasn't seen Harding in more than 20 years, but says he was \"just a regular railroad guy when I knew him\". He launched a website to help fund the locomotive engineer's defence even before charges were laid. \"I always felt it could have been me,\" says MacDonald, who lives in New York state. He won't divulge the full amount he's raised but says donations have come in from all over, large and small. Unions have publicly donated thousands of dollars to the fund. 'It's not them we want!' Many residents of Lac-Megantic have publicly expressed sympathy for the three men as they were charged and tried, and lay the blame for the disaster at the feet of the company. In 2014, when Harding, Demaitre, and Labrie first appeared in court, Ghislain Champagne - who lost his daughter in the tragedy - yelled \"It's not them we want\", as they walked in. In October, the day the trial began, Lac-Megantic resident Jean Paradis, who lost three close friends that night, told journalists outside the courthouse that he didn't want to judge whether the three men were guilty or not. \"But it's clear to me the main shareholder, MMA, are not here. Transport Canada is not here. Transport Canada have let cheap companies run railroads in Canada with less money for more profit instead of acting or security,\" he said. After the trial, Jean Clusiault told journalist that railway executives, not the three employees \"should have sat in the bench of the accused\". The criminal negligence case against the three railway workers has drawn to a close but other legal battles related to the rail disaster are far from over. MMA, now defunct, is also facing criminal negligence charges and will stand trial at a later date. The company has pleaded not guilty. A joined class-action lawsuit on behalf of about 6,000 people and companies affected by the tragedy, the Quebec government, and insurance companies - targeting Canadian Pacific - is due in court in 2019. The railway company handed off the train carrying the Bakken oil to MMA that July. Canadian Pacific denies any responsibility in the disaster. In 2015 the federal government laid charges under the Railway Safety Act and the Fisheries Act against a handful of former railway employees, including Harding, Demaitre and ex-railway president Robert Grindrod. All have pleaded not guilty.",

The Oscars has been overshadowed by a row about the lack of diversity, with some black stars boycotting the show. The Academy announced the first slate of presenters for the 88th Oscars telecast in Los Angeles on Thursday. Other performers and presenters taking part include Tina Fey, Ryan Gosling, Lady Gaga, Sam Smith, Charlize Theron, Jacob Tremblay, The Weeknd and Pharrell Williams. \"Together they represent the many thrilling ways stories can be shared about the human experience, and we're honoured they will be part of the celebration,\" Oscars producers David Hill and Reginald Hudlin said. The announcement comes after film director Spike Lee's suggestion that quotas might need to be introduced for black, Asian and minority ethnic actors. All 20 Oscar nominees for acting are white for the second consecutive year. A slew of actors later backed Lee's announcement that he could not support the \"lily white\" awards show. Among them was Will Smith, who many thought had been overlooked in the best actor category this year for his role as a forensic pathologist in sports drama Concussion. The star, who has been Oscar nominated twice previously, told the BBC he was \"very pleased at how quickly and aggressively\" the Academy responded to the issue, announcing new measures aimed at diversifying its membership last week. However, he said he did not think the controversy was a racial issue, but a broader issue. \"I want to be very clear about the spirit in what I'm saying - this is far beyond me,\" he said. \"This has nothing to do with me or awards. That's a really frivolous reason for me to put my hand up and make a statement. For me this is more about the idea of diversity and inclusion. \"It's not us and them, it's 'we'.

The couple were on a family trip ahead of their wedding anniversary. They had hired a cruiser from Manor House Marine. They moored at Devenish Island for the night and it was there that Mrs McKinney entered the water. Mr McKinney denies murdering her. He says his wife went on deck to secure the mooring ropes after believing the boat had moved. The death was originally treated as a tragic drowning accident until a number of witnesses raised suspicions. Mr McKinney is adamant he tried to save his wife when she fell overboard, but the court heard he gave conflicting accounts on what occurred. Following intensive investigations, a murder inquiry was launched. The prosecution contends Mr McKinney is a controlling man who killed his wife after he tired of her but was unwilling to accept she might divorce him. A recording of the 999 call was played to Dungannon Crown Court, in which he pleaded with police to send help. 'I tried to help her' Gasping for breath and sobbing, he said: \"My wife fell in the water and I can't see her.\" He said she had no lifejacket on as there were only two on the boat and he had given them to the children. \"I want to go into the water to look for her,\" he said. \"I'm going to back in the water to get her. I need to go in. I can't see her. I jumped in and tried to help her when she fell.\" The call handler asked how Mrs McKinney came to be in the water, to which Mr McKinney replied: \"She thought the boat was moving. She went to check the ropes. And then she fell and I can't see her. I can't see her. Please come quickly.\" He confirmed the children were asleep on the boat, repeating: \"I need to go and find her. I need to get my wife.\" The call handler discouraged Mr McKinney from going back into the water, telling him to be mindful of his children's safety and his need to remain calm for them. 'I had hold of her' He instructed Mr McKinney to go to the cabin and activate the radio, but Mr McKinney said he could not find it, nor could he find any flares. He said: \"She fell in, so I jumped in. I caught hold of her and I tried to pull her up. \"I got her up and she pulled me down. I had hold of her but she went down.\" The call handler told him to get warm clothes and put the lights of the boat on to assist search crews in locating him. McKinney later said he had found a flare and described Mrs McKinney as wearing a black coat \"to keep her warm\", T-shirt and trousers. The call handler instructed McKinney to set off the flare, but the police rescue boat came into sight before he did. Mr McKinney then said: \"I see her. I see her. I see my wife in the water. I see her. She's in the water.\" His voice then became a coarse whisper and the call handler advised him to stay on the boat with his children, and speak with police. The call was terminated as police came aboard Mr McKinney's boat. The trial will resume on Tuesday.",

Reporting the threat, the French magistrates' union appealed for calm. Mr Sarkozy denies receiving illegal donations from L'Oreal heiress Liliane Bettencourt in 2007. The former conservative president has been placed under formal investigation, accused of accepting thousands of euros from the 90-year-old widow, the country's wealthiest woman, whom experts consider to have been in a state of dementia since at least 2006. On Monday, Mr Sarkozy went public for the first time about the investigation, saying he had never betrayed his public duties and pledging to clear his name. \"I will devote all of my energy to prove my probity and honesty,\" he wrote on Facebook. \"The truth will prevail eventually. I have no doubt about it.\" Mr Sarkozy won the presidential election of 2007 comfortably, only to be defeated last year by Socialist candidate Francois Hollande. 'Intolerable escalation' Mr Gentil is the most prominent of the three judges conducting the investigation. The magistrates' union said the threat had come on Wednesday after \"unworthy if not insulting remarks by certain politicians following the placing under investigation of Nicolas Sarkozy and questioning of the impartiality of one of the magistrates (Mr Gentil)\" by Mr Sarkozy's lawyer, Thierry Herzog. \"Today this magistrate was sent a letter to which blank cartridges were attached, clearly making a threat of death to him, those close to him and members of the magistrates' union,\" the union said on its website. Rejecting attempts to \"discredit\" magistrates, it said: \"Everyone should demonstrate the utmost responsibility in their words and we firmly condemn this intolerable escalation of violence.\" Mr Herzog questioned Judge Gentil's impartiality in an interview with Sunday newspaper Journal du Dimanche. The judge was among those who signed an opinion column in Le Monde newspaper in June accusing Mr Sarkozy and his predecessor Jacques Chirac of \"wishing to protect the corrupt\", Mr Herzog pointed out. \"Five days after signing this column, the same judge ordered four raids on Sarkozy's home, his office and his secretary's house,\" the lawyer said. Judge Gentil unexpectedly summoned Mr Sarkozy for a face-to-face encounter with Mrs Bettencourt's butler, Pascal Bonnefoy, in Bordeaux last week. The judge wanted to determine how often the politician had met Mrs Bettencourt in 2007. While Mr Sarkozy has maintained he only saw her once during that year, the butler gave a different account. Following the hearing, the ex-president was placed under formal investigation \"for taking advantage of a vulnerable person during 2007 to the detriment of Liliane Bettencourt\". Under French law, the court's decision falls short of a formal charge.",

GSK's chief executive Emma Walmsley told the BBC that vaccines usually take a decade to develop and test. A plan to make a vaccine available in just 18 months was a huge acceleration of the normal process, she said. GSK is also involved in a tie-up with the UK's other pharma giant AstraZeneca to help the government hit its target of conducting 100,000 tests by the end of April. Emma Walmsley said she hoped that the UK's two biggest pharmaceutical companies could help provide 30,000 daily tests by the beginning of May. A substantial contribution but leaving some way to go to hit the target. GSK also said it would channel any profits made from its vaccine programme into increased research and development into future virus threats. When asked whether it was appropriate for any company to profit from a global emergency Emma Walmsley promised that the company would not show any net profit from vaccine sales and along with future research investment, GSK would use any profits to subsidise vaccine deliveries to developing countries. Other groups have promised faster vaccine results. Sarah Gilbert, an Oxford University professor engaged in a separate search for a vaccine, said she was \"80 per cent confident\" her team's development would work by autumn. There are more than 20 vaccines currently in development. Among those under way at the moment are: GSK boss Walmsley said she wished other companies and partnerships good luck in developing their own solutions.

The first member states were Belgium, France, Germany, Luxembourg and the Netherlands. Now there are 26 Schengen countries - 22 EU members and four non-EU. Those four are Iceland and Norway (since 2001), Switzerland (since 2008) and Liechtenstein (since 2011). After the initial five came Italy (1990), Portugal and Spain (1991), Greece (1992), Austria (1995), and Denmark, Finland and Sweden in 1996. Nine more EU countries joined in 2007, after the EU's eastward enlargement in 2004. They are: the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Lithuania, Latvia, Malta, Poland, Slovakia and Slovenia. Only six of the 28 EU member states are outside the Schengen zone - Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Ireland, Romania and the UK. The EU explains the evolution of Schengen here. Are other countries going to remove border checks too? Andorra and San Marino are not part of Schengen, but they no longer have checks at their borders. There is no date yet for Cyprus, which joined the EU in 2004, or for Bulgaria and Romania (joined in 2007) or Croatia (joined in 2013). Which EU countries are not in Schengen? The UK and Republic of Ireland have opted out. The UK wants to maintain its own borders, and Dublin prefers to preserve its free movement arrangement with the UK - called the Common Travel Area - rather than join Schengen. The UK and Ireland began taking part in some aspects of the Schengen agreement, such as the Schengen Information System (SIS), from 2000 and 2002 respectively. The SIS enables police forces across Europe to share data on law enforcement. It includes data on stolen cars, court proceedings and missing persons. How have the Paris attacks and the migrant crisis affected Schengen? Schengen is often criticised by nationalists and Eurosceptics who say it is an open door for migrants and criminals. The 13 November Paris attacks, which killed 130 people, prompted an urgent rethink of the Schengen agreement. There was alarm that killers had so easily slipped into Paris from Belgium, and that some had entered the EU with crowds of migrants via Greece. In 2015, the influx of more than a million migrants - many of them Syrian refugees - also greatly increased the pressure on politicians, and one after another, EU states re-imposed temporary border controls. In December, the European Commission proposed a major amendment to Schengen, expected to become law soon. Most non-EU travellers have their details checked against police databases at the EU's external borders. The main change is that the rule will apply to EU citizens as well, who until now had been exempt. Non-EU nationals who have a Schengen visa generally do not have ID checks once they are travelling inside the zone, but since the Paris atrocity those checks have become more common. When can countries re-impose border controls? Under the Schengen rules, signatories may reinstate internal border controls for 10 days, if this has to be done immediately for \"public policy or national security\" reasons. If the problem continues, the controls can be maintained for \"renewable periods\" of up to 20 days and for a maximum of two months. The period is longer in cases where the threat is considered \"foreseeable\". The controls can be maintained for renewable periods of up to 30 days, and for a maximum of six months. An extension of two years maximum is allowed under Article 26 of the Schengen Borders Code, in \"exceptional circumstances\". In the Schengen zone, currently six states have border controls in place: Austria, Denmark, France, Germany, Norway and Sweden. Hungary's controls affect its borders with two non-Schengen states: Croatia and Serbia. Last October it also imposed temporary controls on the border with Schengen member Slovenia. In 2005 France re-imposed border controls after the bomb attacks by Islamist militants in London. Austria, Portugal and Germany re-imposed border controls for some major sporting events, such as the Fifa World Cup. What else does Schengen involve? The main feature is the creation of a single external border, and a single set of rules for policing the border, but there are other measures including: How are non-EU citizens affected? Nationals from some countries need to obtain a Schengen visa in order to enter one of its member countries or travel within the area. It is a short-stay visa valid for 90 days. It also allows international transit at airports in Schengen countries. A short-stay visa costs €60 (£46; $66), but just €35 for Russians, Ukrainians and citizens of some other countries, under visa facilitation agreements.",

Bedford Borough Council was fined £300,000 after admitting the offence. During the 2018 trial, the jury acquitted road surfacing contractor DJT Surfacing Ltd of the same charge.

It is claimed the offences date from October 2012 to February 2013, when Mr Love allegedly tried to secretly infiltrate the New York Federal Reserve Bank's computer servers in order to steal non-public information and then post that information on certain websites. He allegedly worked with \"other hackers around the world to gain access\". 'Millions in losses' According to the indictment, in October 1012: \"Mr Love used his unauthorised access to locate and steal certain confidential information residing on the Federal Reserve servers, including the names, email addresses, and phone numbers of users of the Federal Reserve computer system. \"Mr Love then disseminated that information publicly by posting the information to a website that previously had been hacked and that he controlled.\" George Venizelos, head of the New York office of the FBI, said: \"Cyber-crime knows no boundaries and justice will not stop at international borders.\" Mr Love is accused of breaching the systems to steal \"massive quantities\" of confidential data, resulting in millions of dollars of losses. He was arrested by officers from the UK's National Crime Agency (NCA) under the Computer Misuse Act (CMA), in October last year, and later charged by US authorities in New Jersey.

Former civil aviation minister Praful Patel said the decision was taken by the government to make the airline commercially viable.

            "input": "More than 5,000 people were stuck at or near the border and at one point several tried to storm the fence. Four thousand more arrived by sea from the Aegean islands at Piraeus port. Macedonia said on Sunday it was following other governments by allowing in only Syrians and Iraqis. Greece protested against the decision. After Syrians, Afghans made up the second largest number of people seeking asylum in the EU in 2015, according to official figures. The Macedonian move came three days after Austria imposed a daily limit of 80 asylum claims on its southern border. Although EU officials said the Austrian limit was incompatible with human rights conventions, Balkan states along the migrant route from Greece responded by implementing their own restrictions. In the past year, the vast majority of migrants and refugees arriving in Europe have taken the route through Greece, in the hope of claiming asylum in Germany or other EU countries. More than 1.1 million people arrived in Germany alone in 2015. EU police agency Europol said on Monday that 90% of them had used a \"facilitation service\", offered mainly by criminal smuggling groups. Barbed wire More than 5,000 people had gathered by Monday morning at the Idomeni crossing or on buses a few miles away. Some 600 Afghans staged a protest, holding up banners that read \"Open the border\", but then a crowd broke through a Greek cordon and gathered at the fence. Many protesters stormed the fence and sat on a railway line in no-man's land. Several climbed through barbed wire before being arrested. Greece's junior immigration minister said he was hopeful the issue would soon be resolved with Macedonia. The Athens government fears the new restrictions will prompt a build-up of migrants and refugees on its territory. The first indication of that came with the arrival on Monday of four ships in the port of Piraeus carrying more than 4,000 migrants. They were intending to continue their journey to the Macedonian border at Idomeni. Last November, Slovenia and other Balkan countries announced they would only allow in refugees from Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan, where armed conflicts were taking place. Macedonia said it was now halting access to Afghans as well, because Serbia had itself imposed restrictions, although that was disputed by the Belgrade government. Police from Austria and the Balkan states agreed new guidelines for letting in migrants last week, which reportedly include a photo-document issued by the authorities on the Macedonian border with Greece. The UN has already counted more than 94,000 arrivals from Turkey on Greece's Aegean islands since the start of this year. However, the EU's Frontex border agency said the numbers in January were 40% lower than the previous month, largely because of poor weather. German politicians have reacted with dismay to the change in Austrian policy, which includes a 3,200 daily limit on the number of migrants and refugees being allowed transit through the country. Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere complained the number was far too high and sent the wrong signal. \"If others think that they will dump a greater burden on Germany, we won't accept that in the long term,\" he said. His opposite number in Austria, Johanna Mikl-Leitner, complained that Germany was sending mixed signals. Germany could not promise Greece that it would continue pursuing its open-border policy while also demanding that Austria stop everyone coming through, she argued. Germans have been shocked in recent days by two anti-refugee protests in the eastern state of Saxony. Dozens of protesters blocked a bus carrying families to a shelter in the town of Clausnitz on Thursday night, hurling abuse and chanting \"we are the people\". Two nights later, a shelter for asylum-seekers was set alight in Bautzen as onlookers were filmed applauding the action. Government spokesman Steffen Seibert condemned the Clausnitz attack as cold-hearted and deeply shameful. A note on terminology: The BBC uses the term migrant to refer to all people on the move who have yet to complete the legal process of claiming asylum. This group includes people fleeing war-torn countries such as Syria, who are likely to be granted refugee status, as well as people who are seeking jobs and better lives, who governments are likely to rule are economic migrants.",

'Can't accept this' Philippine president Benigno Aquino has promised a \"thorough investigation\" into Monday's siege, which began when a former police officer, Rolando Mendoza, hijacked the bus carrying tourists in an apparent attempt to get his job back. Nine passengers were freed in the course of the stand-off, but survivors and experts have criticised the police for being indecisive and slow in their handling of the hijacking. In the last hour of the siege, police failed in an attempt to board the bus, being forced back by gunfire from the inside of the vehicle. Almost one hour later, they managed to get on board the bus. The gunman was killed, and eight of the 15 passengers still on board were also dead. \"The Philippine government ... I can't accept this. Why did they do this to us?\" said one of the survivors, identified as Mrs Leung. Her husband and two daughters were killed and her son is in intensive care. \"[The gunman] did not want to kill us. He only shot us after the negotiations failed,\" she told Cable News TV.

The government's migration advisory committee says there is evidence Bulgarians would move to Britain because of its stronger economy, and it was \"plausible\" Romanians would come for the same reasons. But extending restrictions could involve tearing up the provisions of the treaty signed when Romania and Bulgaria joined the EU. Shadow Home Secretary Yvette Cooper last week told Andrew Marr that Labour would back an extension on the restrictions on migrants from the two countries working in the UK. But Mrs May told the programme: \"There are no further transitional controls we can put on. The transitional controls end in December 2013.\" 'Sham marriages' The government was looking instead at limiting access to benefits and the NHS to reduce the \"pull factors\" that encouraged migrants to come to the UK, she added.

Judge Mr Justice Sweeney told jurors at the Old Bailey that Mr Bishop had \"chosen not to attend\" on Tuesday. But he said they must not regard it as giving assistance to the prosecution. Bishop, formerly of Brighton, who is on trial for the second time having been acquitted of the girls' murder in 1987, denies two counts of murder. In his closing speech, prosecutor Brian Altman QC told jurors Bishop had killed Nicola and Karen for his own \"sexual gratification\". The court has heard that within three years of his acquittal, Bishop was jailed for life for the kidnap, sexual assault and attempted murder of a seven-year-old girl. Mr Altman told jurors he had shown his \"true colours\" during the current trial. He said: \"The defendant chose to give evidence but within a relatively short time of my beginning my cross-examination of him, he refused to return after the mid-morning break. \"During that time you may conclude he showed you his true colours - an abusive, aggressive, controlling man. \"He is a coward to refuse to continue his evidence before you and he is a cowardly paedophile who thinks nothing of attacking a seven-year-old child.\" Mr Altman said the defendant had nothing to explain the \"multiple scientific findings\" and instead put Nicola's father Barrie Fellows through the ordeal of being accused of the killings. \"What you have seen unfolding before your eyes is the creation of a smokescreen in the hope he gets away with murder for the second time,\" he added.

            "input": "By Dr Wei ZhangSenior fellow, China Policy Institute at Nottingham University In 2000, its number of people aged 60 or over surpassed 10% of the total population, and almost 7% of the population were aged 65 and over. According to government figures, at the end of 2011, when the total Chinese population reached 1.34 billion, 13.7% of the population were 60 or over - that's 185 million people. Those aged 65 or over accounted for 123 million people, or just over 9%. Faster, faster The ageing process in China has two distinguishing features. First, it has happened at a much faster rate than in other countries. According to UN figures, the ratio of those aged 60 and over across the world rose by 3 percentage points in the 60 years from 1950 to 2010, while in China it increased by 3.8 percentage points in just the 10 years from 2000 to 2010. Secondly, China is one of a few countries in the world in which the population has aged before becoming rich or even moderately rich. The UN considers a country to be ageing when 7% of its population is aged 65 or over - the threshold used to be 10% of a population being 60 years old or over. While more than 60% of the world's ageing nations reached that threshold when their GDP per capita exceeded $10,000 (£6,215) - and 30% reached the threshold when their income reached $5,000 - China officially became an ageing country when its GDP per capita was less than $1,000. This inevitably means there are more financial constraints when it comes to any potential solutions. Being old costs more China's unprecedented demographic transformation has been mainly caused by a significant increase in the country's life expectancy. People are living longer life thanks to significant improvements in living standards, including improved nutrition, access to education and medical care. Another factor is China's one-child policy, which was imposed by the state in 1980. According to a government, this caused a sudden decrease in the country's birth rate and prevented 400 million extra births over the past three decades. There is debate among scholars over the exact figure. Some say the drop in birth rates was typical of that which occurs in societies as they modernise, others say it at least slowed down the population growth and therefore speeded up the ageing process in China. This rapid ageing has led some economic and social consequences. Many of those are the same experienced by other ageing nations, such as a huge fiscal deficit due to soaring pension expenses and increased medical costs. But being a less developed country experiencing a faster ageing process than most has made things difficult for China. There are also some consequences particular to China. Probably the most important consequence will be a rapid decline of labour force. There are currently 980 million people in the active labour force in China. According to Professor Zhen Binwen of Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, this number will reach its peak in 2015, but then start to decrease dramatically. End of cheap labour? Professor Cai Fang, a Chinese labour economist, estimates that the rapid decrease of the labour force will lower China's annual growth rate by 1.5 percentage points from now to 2015, and it will decrease a further percentage point during the period from 2016-2020. China's demographic dividend will end - the country's fast economic growth in the past three decades has been mainly led by exports, which are dependent on an abundant and cheap labour supply. A fast decline of the labour force will cause shortages and a rapid increase in wages. Such changes will weaken the competitiveness of China's export industries in the international market, affecting economic growth. China will need to undertake dramatic economic restructuring to deal with this problem. The rapid ageing process will also bring with it political difficulties. The legitimacy of Chinese communist party as a ruling group of the country since the Tiananmen Square massacre in 1989 has been based on its maintaining rapid economic growth. An economic slowdown could prompt challenges to party's legitimacy. Existing disadvantaged social groups, such as migrant workers and pensioners, especially those in rural areas, will be most severely affected, and the social unrest sometimes experience in China now could become increasingly common.",

A High Court judge in Swansea will hear the appeal against his sentence. Stacey admitted inciting racial hatred over remarks about the Bolton Wanderers player, who collapsed during a FA Cup tie against Tottenham Hotspur. Sentencing Stacey at Swansea Magistrates' Court on Tuesday, District Judge John Charles had called Stacey's comments \"vile and abhorrent\". Stacey broke down in tears as he was led away to begin his jail term. Muamba, 23, who suffered a cardiac arrest, is still in intensive care. A second year biology student at Swansea, Stacey was arrested after his comments on the social networking site were reported by other users. A number of people challenged Stacey on Twitter following his first comment, and he responded with a number of offensive posts aimed at other Twitter users. Last week the court heard how Stacey posted the offensive comments shortly after the former England Under-21 star collapsed during the FA Cup quarter-final at White Hart Lane on 17 March. Magistrates were told police forces across Britain received complaints following the comments. Stacey tried to \"distance himself\" from the tweets by claiming his account had been hacked, the court was told. He later tried to delete his page but was arrested the following day at his student house in Swansea. Punishment When interviewed by police, Stacey said he had been drinking since lunchtime on Saturday and was drunk when he made the comments. A Swansea University have suspended Stacey from the university pending the conclusion of our disciplinary proceedings. Stacey has also been de-registered as a player with Treorchy rugby club, where he has turned out for the second team on occasions. Support for Stacey's jail sentence was widespread on the day it was handed down, and debated on Twitter.

An update on restrictions, which could see pubs and restaurants shut in the worst-affected areas, is due on Monday. Regional leaders have called for more help for struggling firms. The chancellor is expected to announce the new financial support scheme will be a six-month plan, with a three-month review point. But Labour's shadow chancellor Anneliese Dodds said Mr Sunak's Job Support Scheme was \"forcing businesses to flip a coin over who stays and who goes\" because it was cheaper to employ one worker than two to do the same hours. The Job Support Scheme, which will replace the furlough scheme from 1 November, will see eligible workers get three quarters of their normal salaries for six months. To be eligible, employees must be in a ''viable job'' where they can work for at least one-third of their normal hours. For the hours not worked, the government and employer will each pay one-third of the remaining wages. This means the employee would get at least 77% of their pay. Nearly three million workers - or 12% of the UK's workforce - are currently on partial or full furlough leave, according to official figures. The current furlough scheme ends on 31 October. But Labour's shadow chancellor Ms Dodds tweeted that the Job Support Scheme \"makes it more expensive to bring staff back than many other international schemes\". She said the cost to an employer of bringing back two workers in the arts sector for half of the week versus one for the whole week was £163 in the UK, compared with £98 in the Netherlands, £69 in France and nothing in Germany. \"Once again it seems like the chancellor has waited to the last possible minute to start listening to Labour and bring in targeted support for those parts of the country under local restrictions,\" she said. \"The chancellor's constant flip-flopping on furlough is putting 900,000 jobs at risk, leaving workers in limbo and creating chaos in the midst of a pandemic.\" In other developments: A tiered system of measures for England is set to be announced by Monday, in an effort to stall rising infection rates, to replace the patchwork of existing rules across the country. Under the new system, different parts of the country would be placed in different categories - although ministers are still discussing the precise details. Pubs and restaurants could be closed in the worst-affected areas, while a ban on overnight stays is also being considered. Conservative chief whip Mark Spencer has said MPs will be given a vote on the proposed new framework, saying the tiered system was \"being worked on at the moment\". He told BBC Radio Nottingham that ministers and scientific advisers were striving to come up with a \"very clear and easily understood system…so we all know what the aim is\". On Thursday, England's chief medical officer Chris Whitty presented evidence to MPs in a video call that a \"significant proportion\" of exposure to coronavirus was happening in the hospitality sector - but nothing more was shown on the scope, severity, timing or precise location of any new restrictions. But there has been growing anger among MPs and local leaders about the way the government has communicated the proposed changes with them. Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham accused the government of treating the north of England with \"contempt\" after he learned ministers were considering shutting hospitality venues in the worst-affected areas in a newspaper report. Mr Burnham said he would challenge the closure of pubs, bars and restaurants if the measure did not come with financial support. He told BBC's Question Time: \"The message I've given to the government is a pretty clear one - there can be no restrictions without support. \"And if it's going to be the tier three restrictions - effectively a national lockdown - we have to go back to a full furlough scheme for those staff, support for those businesses, otherwise the north of England is going to be levelled down this winter and I won't accept it.\" In response, junior minister Gillian Keegan said the government had to act to stem the rise in cases. \"This is serious - it is getting out of control, and we have to do something to bring it back under control,\" she said. But she acknowledged that communication with the worst-hit areas needed to improve. There were 17,540 new cases of coronavirus recorded in the UK on Thursday, up from the 14,162 reported the day before, government data showed. A further 77 people died after testing positive for the virus within 28 days. NHS England data published on Thursday showed the number of people waiting more than a year to start hospital treatment is at its highest level since 2008 - with some 111,026 people waiting more than 52 weeks to start hospital treatment in August.

Organisers will be in \"absolutely dire straits\" financially if the season is cancelled, added Anna Wade, of Winchester's Boomtown Fair. They were speaking to MPs examining the plight of music festivals in the UK. The House of Commons culture select committee is carrying out an inquiry into the viability of this summer's events, after the coronavirus pandemic wiped out the 2020 festival season. Tuesday's hearing came a day after Glastonbury festival organiser Emily Eavis assured fans they \"haven't cancelled\" the 2021 event. 'Festivals are going to drop away' But the committee was told that the government needs to introduce Covid cancellation insurance for live events and an extension to the current VAT cut on concert tickets. \"If the government don't help with insurance, then the smaller festivals are going to drop away,\" said Sacha Lord, co-founder of Manchester's Parklife Festival. He added that vaccinations and mass testing were essential to ensure the future of live music. \"Social distancing does not work at any of these events,\" he told MPs. \"It's a festival. You just cannot put social distancing in place, so we are anticipating that we will be operating at 100% [capacity].\" Wade pointed out that rapid-turnaround testing would place another financial burden on festival organisers. Testing kits are currently £10 each, she said, potentially meaning an outlay of £660,000 for her 66,000 attendees. However, Lord, who is also night-time economy adviser for Greater Manchester, said he was optimistic that festivals would \"bounce back\" once the virus was under control. \"People want to go to a gig, whether it's a festival or a small grassroots venue,\" he said. \"The appetite is out there.\" Steve Heap, general secretary of the Association of Festival Organisers, said that while major festivals would have to make a decision this month, smaller events had until April. \"If we get as far as Easter and we still don't know that crowds can gather at festivals, however large or small, then we are in a catastrophic situation with this year's season,\" he said. 'No certainty' The UK live music industry was worth £1.3bn in 2019 - but it has been hit hard by the pandemic, with more than 90% of the gigs planned for 2020 cancelled. Before Tuesday's hearing, music industry trade body UK Music called on MPs to name a \"restart date\" after which gigs can go ahead. The lack of coronavirus insurance was the \"biggest barrier\" to events resuming, it said, pointing out that Germany had recently announced a £2.3bn event cancellation fund, in line with several other European countries. Such a situation puts the UK at a \"competitive disadvantage\", UK Music's chief executive Jamie Njoku-Goodwin warned. \"The real danger here is that, if we see a lot of countries - particularly in Europe and closer to home - protecting their festival seasons, you could almost have a talent transfer,\" he told the committee. \"We don't want to have a situation where musicians, crews, technicians - people who should be working in the UK festival scene - are looking to the continent and thinking, actually, if there's going to be live music happening there in 2021, that's where we're going to be going.\" UK Music's call to action came in a report called Let the Music Play: Save Our Summer 2021, which outlined a range of measures that could help the industry get back up and running. In a statement, Mr Njoku-Goodwin said that even with the roll-out of vaccines, \"lack of notice and available insurance options will mean much of the 2021 summer music season can't go ahead\". Responding to the report, a spokesperson for the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport said: \"We know these are challenging times for the live events sector and are working flat out to support it. \"Our £1.57bn Culture Recovery Fund has already seen more than £1bn offered to arts, heritage and performance organisations to support them through the impact of the pandemic, protecting tens of thousands of creative jobs across the UK, including festivals such as Deer Shed Festival, End of the Road and Nozstock.\" Follow us on Facebook, or on Twitter @BBCNewsEnts.

Using land more sensibly, adapting buildings and planning for emergencies are areas where it recommends action. Environment Secretary Caroline Spelman describes the CCC's adaptation report as \"a wake-up call\". \"There is no part of our society which is immune from the effects of climate change,\" she is due to say in a speech on Thursday. \"Britain's economy will only be as resilient and prepared as British firms, communities and infrastructure.\" Extreme weather This is the first time the CCC has looked into how homes, businesses and authorities should be changing in order to deal with climate impacts. Previously it has concerned itself with issues such as the country's greenhouse gas emissions and energy supply. But a degree of adaptation is vital, it concludes, because even the most drastic cuts in emissions cannot prevent some impacts. The UK's average temperature has already risen by 1C since the 1970s. The CCC uses projections from computer models of climate change to forecast a higher incidence of extreme weather events such as floods, heatwaves and droughts. \"The UK must start acting now to prepare for climate change,\" said Lord Krebs, chairman of the CCC's adaptation sub-committee. \"It is not necessarily about spending more, but about spending smart and investing to save. If we get it right, we can save money in the short term and avoid large extra costs in the future.\" 'New opportunities' Although the government has taken some steps to raise awareness of the issue among businesses and ordinary people, few tangible changes have resulted. In many places, the CCC says, the concept of adaptation is just \"name-checked\". As examples of the issues involved, the CCC points out that if new nuclear power stations are built around the coast, they must be protected against sea-level rise well beyond their operational lifetime. Houses must be built where a water supply is assured, and supplied with drainage adequate for future storms. Hospitals and care homes must be able to keep cool during heatwaves. Craig Bennett, policy and campaigns director for Friends of the Earth UK, welcomed the report. \"Making our buildings and infrastructure more resilient to a changing climate can help cut emissions too,\" he noted. \"For example, super-insulating our homes and buildings will keep them warmer in winter and cooler in summer, and will also cut fuel bills.\" The report is not completely full of danger signs, however, arguing that another aspect of adaptation is making sure people and businesses are prepared for new opportunities that are projected to arise.

Phil Mercer, BBC News, Sydney: \"Continue to thwart attacks\" While its FA-18 fighters bomb so-called Islamic State targets many thousands of kilometres away, and its soldiers train Iraqi forces, Australia continues to confront the enemy within. More counter-terrorism raids in Sydney have yielded further arrests, and will make an uneasy nation even more anxious on the eve of the first anniversary of the deadly Sydney siege. Last month, a poll found that more than half of Australians thought a large-scale attack was likely, and one-quarter was convinced it was inevitable. The prime minister has promised a \"calm, clinical and effective\" response to the menace of home-grown extremism. \"We cannot eliminate entirely the risk of terrorism any more than we can eliminate the risk of any serious crime,\" said Malcolm Turnbull in his first national security address. \"But we can mitigate it. We will continue to thwart and frustrate many attacks before they occur.\" Timeline of recent Australia terror incidents At least 800 heavily armed officers arrested 16 people as part of Operation Appleby in September 2014, in what was Australia's biggest ever anti-terror operation. Police said the arrests on Thursday were not linked to a new plot, but to documents seized during those raids that talked about a plan to target government and police buildings. \"As a result of putting all of that information together, working through those documents, putting physical and electronic surveillance together, we were able to build a case of conspiracy for five people involved in the preparation of these documents,\" said Deputy Commissioner of National Security Michael Phelan. Those arrested on Thursday are also known to those involved in the terror-linked shooting of Sydney police worker Curtis Cheng, police said. Mr Cheng, 58, was shot dead outside his police headquarters office as he left work last October. Police shot dead his attacker, 15-year-old Farhad Jabar, at the scene. New South Wales Police said the 15-year-old boy arrested on Thursday was charged based on activity when he was 14. They added that he had clearly been radicalised, although they did not yet know how it had happened. \"It is disturbing that we continue to deal with teenaged children in this environment,\" said Deputy Commissioner Catherine Burn. \"To be putting a 15-year-old before the courts on very serious charges that carry a maximum penalty of life imprisonment demonstrates the difficulties law enforcement face.\" Police said a total of 11 people had now been charged under Operation Appleby.",

            "input": "Reform Scotland said its proposals would see drivers pay according to which roads they use and when. The scheme would help reduce emissions, cut congestion and increase fairness, according to the think tank. The Scottish government said ministers had no plans to introduce road charging now or in the future. But Reform Scotland called on the government to launch a feasibility study. Under its proposals, central government would \"price\" motorways and trunk roads and local authorities would \"price\" local roads. The scheme would require both vehicle excise duty (VED) - commonly known as road or car tax - and fuel duty to be devolved to Holyrood in order for them to be abolished as the pay-as-you-drive system became live. 'Blunt instrument' Reform Scotland said VED, while addressing carbon emissions through its grading structure, punished those who drive infrequently by charging them exactly the same as those who drive on a regular basis. It described fuel duty as a \"blunt instrument\" which takes no account of which roads are being used or at what time. The think tank said a pay-as-you-drive system would mean that people pay depending on which roads they use and when they use them, better reflecting the emissions and congestion they cause. Reform Scotland's director Geoff Mawdsley said: \"The way we currently charge drivers is bad for the environment, promotes congestion and is unfair on low-mileage motorists and those in more remote areas. \"We believe that pay-as-you-drive, with central and local government pricing roads and being accountable to their electorate for their level, would encourage motorists to change their behaviour. \"As a result, it would reduce emissions because people will consider alternatives to the car; it would reduce congestion because people will consider driving at cheaper times or on cheaper roads; it would benefit the national economy as people and goods could move more freely and quickly, as well as the local economy as people chose to shop closer to home; and it would be fairer on drivers who drive on remote, quiet roads or at off-peak times.\" The think tank said Scotland should \"learn from other countries who do this better\". Its report cited examples, including Germany and Norway, where technology is used to calculate road usage and bill drivers accordingly. Reform Scotland acknowledged such a scheme would incur considerable start-up costs, and there had been significant public opposition to road charging in the past. A 2004 UK Department for Transport feasibility study suggested that a UK-wide road pricing scheme could cost up to £62bn to set up with an annual running cost of up to £5.5bn. Meanwhile, a 2005 referendum saw Edinburgh residents reject council plans for congestion charging in the city. Rural drivers The Scottish Conservatives criticised the plans. The party's transport spokesman Alex Johnstone said: \"Certain aspects of this may appear superficially attractive but if you look at the possible consequences, the negatives quickly appear. \"While there may be some benefit for rural drivers, that in turn would result in commuters who absolutely need to use motorways and trunk roads paying through the nose. \"These people already pay a significant amount and charging them even more could also have a negative impact on the broader economy.\" Emilia Hanna, air pollution campaigner at Friends of the Earth Scotland, said: \"Simplifying the cost of motoring through a scheme like the pay-as-you-drive one proposed by Reform Scotland is certainly worth examining, although we would no doubt disagree with Reform Scotland over the levels of pricing that motorists be charged. \"Any road pricing system must create a more level playing field between motoring, public transport, cycling and walking.\" Related Internet Links Reform Scotland Scottish Government",

It took seven years to reach the planet and landed on one of its moons, Titan. An Aberystwyth University professor is co-investigator on three instruments on Cassini, which aims to determine the structure and behaviour of the rings. In April 2017, Cassini embarked on a final programme of 22 orbits of Saturn, each taking about six and half days to complete. Travelling at up to 78,000 mph, the probe flew through a previously unexplored region to try and solve the mysteries of the mass of Saturn's rings and determine the length of its day. Its final stages are being monitored on Friday. Manuel Grande, head of Solar Systems Physics at Aberystwyth, contributed to building Cassini's plasma spectrometer and its cosmic dust analyser. He said: \"One of the most startling discoveries of Cassini has been that [Saturn's moon] Enceladus has a liquid water ocean under its ice surface, and that this ocean contains salts and organic molecules. \"So we actually know a great deal about what the inside of Enceladus is made of because we are able to analyse the dust probes. \"It is an instrument that has come into its own in the last couple of years which, for a mission this long, is just amazing.\" Prof Grande added the data gathered had changed scientists' understanding of the universe. \"It turns out that Titan has got big lakes, sand dunes and rivers which, from space, look pretty much like rivers on Earth. It's also got seasons. \"In many ways it's the place in the solar system that if you just look at it, looks most like the Earth. \"The difference is that it is much, much colder, and the liquid is liquid methane similar to that in camping gas cylinders, and the rocks are ice. \"That is completely surprising because, before we went to Titan, we had never seen under the atmosphere. \"So it tells us there is great argument for going to new places, and when we do, we find out new and unexpected things.\"",

Its success ends the reign of The Passion of the Christ, which had held the top spot with £11.1m since 2004. Bong Joon Ho's black comedy made history as the first international film to win the best picture Oscar. It won four Oscars overall at this year's event, also taking home the famous statuettes for best director, best international film and best original screenplay. The film is a vicious social satire about two families from different classes in Seoul - one who live in poverty in a semi-basement, and another who live in a large home in an affluent area. The story revolves around the poor family's plans to infiltrate the life and home of the much wealthier one. It opened in the UK later than in other countries and was able to take full advantage of the buzz created by its Academy Awards success. On its opening weekend in the the UK, Parasite made £1.4m in the run-up to the Oscars, which took place on 9 February.

Cleary has also pleaded guilty to possession of images showing child abuse, which were found by police on his hard drive. The men will be sentenced at Southwark Crown Court later this week. Lulzsec carried out a series of attacks in 2011. Targets included Sony Pictures, video games maker EA, the News International media group and Britain's Serious Organised Crime Agency (Soca). 'International notoriety' Ackroyd, 26, from Mexborough, South Yorkshire, has admitted stealing data from Sony. The former soldier was also responsible for redirecting visitors trying to visit the Sun newspaper's site to a fake story about News Corp chairman Rupert Murdoch committing suicide. He has pleaded guilty to carrying out an unauthorised act to impair the operation of a computer. Bassam, 18, from south London, Davis, 20, from Lerwick, Shetland, and Cleary, 21, from Wickford, Essex, all pleaded guilty to two charges - hacking and launching cyber-attacks against organisations including the CIA and Soca. In addition, Cleary pleaded guilty to a further four charges, including hacking into the US Air Force's computers and possession of indecent images of babies and children. Prosecutor Sandip Patel said that unlike the others, Cleary was not a core member of Lulzsec although he had wanted to be. \"It's clear from the evidence that they intended to achieve extensive national and international notoriety and publicity,\" he said. \"This is not about young immature men messing about. They are at the cutting edge of a contemporary and emerging species of criminal offender known as a cybercriminal.\" Judge Deborah Taylor will sentence the men after considering mitigating factors highlighted by their lawyers. Cleary's lawyer said his client suffered from Asperger's syndrome, which had been misdiagnosed as attention deficit disorder. Botnet attack Lulzsec's name is combination of the acronym Lol - meaning laugh out loud - and security. It emerged as a splinter-group from the hacking collective Anonymous two years ago. Mr Patel said the spin-off lacked the \"libertarian\" political agenda of the larger group. Instead, its stated goal was to laugh at others' flawed security measures \"just because we could\". This involved stealing emails, credit card details and passwords from their targets' computer servers and crashing victim's websites with distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks. This involved flooding organisations' web servers with requests sent from hijacked computers used as part of a botnet. Lulzsec's original ringleader is alleged to be another man - US-based Hector Monsegur, also known as Sabu. He was arrested in June 2011 and later co-operated with the FBI to help it identify other members of Lulzsec. Monsegur has yet to be sentenced. A 24-year-old Australian has also been arrested and accused of attacking and defacing a government website as part of Lulzsec's campaign.",

            "input": "By James GallagherHealth editor, BBC News website Donor hearts from adults usually come from people who are confirmed as brain dead but with a heart still beating. A team at St Vincent's Hospital in Sydney revived and then transplanted hearts that had stopped beating for up to 20 minutes. The first patient who received a heart said she felt a decade younger and was now a \"different person\". Hearts are the only organ that is not used after the heart has stopped beating - known as donation after circulatory death. Beating hearts are normally taken from brain-dead people, kept on ice for around four hours and then transplanted to patients. 'Significant development' The novel technique used in Sydney involved taking a heart that had stopped beating and reviving it in a machine known as a \"heart-in-a-box\". The heart is kept warm, the heartbeat is restored and a nourishing fluid helps reduce damage to the heart muscle. The first person to have the surgery was Michelle Gribilas, 57, who was suffering from congenital heart failure. She had the surgery more than two months ago. \"Now I'm a different person altogether,\" she said. \"I feel like I'm 40 years old - I'm very lucky.\" There have since been a further two successful operations. Prof Peter MacDonald, head of St Vincent's heart transplant unit, said: \"This breakthrough represents a major inroad to reducing the shortage of donor organs.\" It is thought the heart-in-a-box, which is being tested at sites around the world, could save up to 30% more lives by increasing the number of available organs. The breakthrough has been welcomed around the world. The British Heart Foundation described it as a \"significant development\". Maureen Talbot, a senior cardiac nurse at the charity, told the BBC: \"It is wonderful to see these people recovering so well from heart transplantation when, without this development, they may still be waiting for a donor heart.\" Liver warming Similar methods of warming and nourishing organs before transplant have been used to improve the quality of lung and liver transplants. James Neuberger, the associate medical director at the UK's NHS Blood and Transplant service, said: \"Machine perfusion is an opportunity to improve the number and quality of organs available for transplant. \"We look forward to more work being carried out to determine the impact of this technology on increasing the number of organs that can safely be used for transplant and on improving the quality of those organs. \"It is too early to predict how many lives could be saved through transplantation each year if this technology were to be adopted as standard transplant practice in the future.\"",

They have not ruled out the possibility that Ms Maasarwe was sexually assaulted, Melbourne's Age newspaper says, with known sex offenders \"an active line of inquiry\". \"Our presumption at this stage is that this was a random attack and opportunistic,\" Detective Inspector Stamper told reporters. Ms Maasarwe's sister, worried about Aiia, is reported to have called Australian police around the same time the body was found on Wednesday morning outside a shopping centre. A black cap emblazoned with \"1986\" and a grey t-shirt were found near the crime scene, and are being forensically tested. Police are also scouring CCTV footage for clues. \"Someone in the community knows about this. Someone has gone home on Tuesday night, or in the early hours of Wednesday morning, maybe with blood on them, missing items of clothing. Somebody knows about this,\" said Mr Stamper. Ms Maasarwe was a student of Chinese and English at a university in Shanghai, her uncle, Abed Katane, told Israeli media. She was on an exchange programme at La Trobe, he said. \"She was an excellent student, full of life. She wasn't in a very dangerous country at all, and yet we are still receiving such a painful message,\" Mr Katane told the Haaretz newspaper. Aiia Maasarwe's father has arrived to identify the body, which the Israeli embassy said it would assist with returning to Israel. Last June the killing of 22-year-old comedian Eurydice Dixon sparked fresh anger and debate about violence against women in Australia. Ms Dixon was raped and killed while walking home after a performance in Melbourne. That followed a similar case in 2012, when Irish woman Jill Meagher was raped and murdered in Melbourne's inner north while walking home - prompting mass rallies to remember her and raise the issue of women's safety. Australia's human rights commission has said that the country has \"a disturbingly high rate of violence against women\". According to government figures, one in five women, and one in 20 men, have experienced sexual violence or threats since the age of 15.

The governor had tried to postpone the primary to June, but was blocked on Monday by the state Supreme Court. On the ballot were Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders, who are both vying to be the Democratic presidential nominee. The eventual winner will challenge President Donald Trump, a Republican, in November. Local offices were also on the ballot, and a seat on the state's Supreme Court. Wisconsin is the first state in three weeks to hold a primary with in-person voting since stay-at-home orders swept the nation amid the coronavirus pandemic. The Badger state imposed its own lockdown on 25 March. All other states have postponed their primary season elections or moved entirely to postal votes while the country remains in the throes of its health emergency. Wisconsin has recorded more than 2,500 coronavirus cases and 92 deaths. Pandemic's stress test for democracy The Democratic presidential campaign has been in deep freeze for three weeks. It seems unlikely that Wisconsin will do anything to thaw the race. Neither Bernie Sanders nor Joe Biden actively campaigned in the state, and the results - when they're announced in a week - will be vastly overshadowed by the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. The legal battle behind the decision to proceed with the election, however, could have very real implications for how US democracy functions during the outbreak. Some Republicans, including President Donald Trump, have suggested lower-turnout elections benefit their candidates. Many Wisconsinites may have been reluctant to cast in-person ballots. Wisconsin's dispute could foreshadow a contentious general election season where it will be impossible to keep political concerns and gamesmanship out of the decisions about the voting process. On the eve of the election, Wisconsin's Supreme Court blocked Governor Tony Evers's last-minute executive order to suspend in-person voting. \"No Wisconsinite should ever have to choose between exercising their constitutional right to vote and being safe, secure, and healthy,\" the governor said. But the Republican-controlled legislature immediately took Mr Evers - a Democrat - to the state Supreme Court, where conservatives hold a 4-2 majority. That same day, the US Supreme Court intervened, barring an extension of postal voting. Pollsters expected a lower turnout on Tuesday to benefit the conservative judicial candidate - who was endorsed by the president - for the state's highest court. At a White House briefing on Tuesday, President Trump said the Wisconsin Supreme Court had made the right decision to allow the state's primary election to go ahead. \"Mail-in voting is horrible,\" he said. \"It's corrupt.\" When a reporter asked the president how he reconciled that view with his own request last month for an absentee ballot to vote by post in Florida's Republican primary, he replied: \"Because I'm allowed to.\" Wisconsin Republican county chairman Jim Miller downplayed the virus threat to voters. \"If you can go out and get fast food, you can go vote curbside,\" he told the New York Times. \"It's the same process.\" Widespread no-shows by election workers prompted the consolidation of polling stations, leaving some sites understaffed and overcrowded. In the city of Milwaukee - Wisconsin's most populous city - its usual 180 polling places were reduced to five. National Guard troops helped out. Sally Rohrer, a graduate student at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, volunteered at a local polling station, a location that combined four sites into one. Many voters who turned out on Tuesday donned masks and socially distanced as they lined up. But Ms Rohrer told the BBC she and other volunteers were not supplied with masks. She said that while many voters had covered their face not everyone had. \"This is a huge risk, not only to our health but to our democracy,\" Ms Rohrer said.

There are no abortion clinics in Waskom but councilmen told local media the ban was a necessary preventative measure. It is part of a wider movement of abortion restrictions sweeping the US. Anti-abortion campaigners expect the new restrictions to be challenged and defeated in the courts, but hope that the appeals process will escalate to the Supreme Court. There they hope to undermine or even overturn completely the landmark 1973 Roe v Wade ruling, which established a constitutional right to abortion throughout the US. Local media footage of the vote showed Mayor Jesse Moore caution other council members that they may be sued for passing the ban. \"It could go to the Supreme Court,\" he said. Mark Lee Dickson, director of Right to Life of East Texas and an advocate for the ban, wrote on Facebook that the measure was \"history in the making\". \"It is good to see the men of Waskom rise up to protect women and children,\" he wrote. Waskom modelled its ban on a similar resolution in Roswell, New Mexico, which declared its support for \"foetal life\" in March. The Waskom measure also borrows language from the movement for immigrant rights. In some major cities, \"sanctuary\" laws mean that local authorities do not co-operate with immigration officials. Abortion is already prohibited in Texas after 20 weeks. This week, Texas Governor Greg Abbott signed a bill to block any taxpayer money from going to abortion providers. What is access to abortion like in the US? Nearly 30 states have introduced some form of restriction on abortion so far this year. Fifteen of these bans, in states such as Louisiana and Georgia, forbid abortion as early as six weeks into a pregnancy - before many women even know they are pregnant. Anti-abortion supporters have dubbed these six-week bans \"heartbeat bills\" as they outlaw abortion as soon as what they describe as a foetus' heartbeat is detectable. But the American College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists says that name is misleading, as what is being detected is \"a portion of the foetal tissue that will become the heart as the embryo develops\". In May, Alabama lawmakers passed a bill to outlaw abortion outright. However despite this abortion remains legal in all 50 US states. Other states have also acted to protect abortion rights were Roe v Wade to be overturned. On Wednesday, Illinois passed laws to protect or expand abortion access, following Maine, New York, Vermont and Nevada. According to the Guttmacher Institute, a group that researches sexual and reproductive health, 19 states have laws that could be used to restrict abortion, while 10 states have laws that protect abortion rights.",

The investigation also led to three arrests in the US and had identified suspects in Europe, Asia, Canada and New Zealand, authorities said. The case is believed to be one of the biggest of its kind in Australia. All victims were aged between 16 months and 15 years old, the Australian Federal Police (AFP) said. Sixteen of the victims had attended one childcare centre. The 14 men faced a total of 828 child exploitation charges, as well as bestiality charges involving four animals. Authorities said the network had produced and shared images and video online. One of the most serious cases involved a suspect who had worked in a childcare centre in New South Wales and had access to 30 children, police said. The 27-year-old man faced more than 300 charges, including sexual abuse. His partner, 22, was also facing charges. Police said families of the children at the centre had been notified. 'Unravelling the network' The year-long investigation began after a tip-off from US investigators about an Australian internet user, the AFP said. That led to an arrest in February of a 30-year-old man in the town of Wyong, north of Sydney. He was charged with 89 offences, including the abuse of two children. Police said that case led them to social media forums where pictures and videos were produced and shared. \"Each warrant led to the discovery of more alleged offenders and more children to be saved,\" said the AFP in a statement on Wednesday. The suspects - aged between 20 and 48 - included a volunteer soccer coach, an electrician, a chef, a supermarket employee and disability care worker. Eight men were arrested in New South Wales, while three arrests were each made in Queensland and Western Australia.

            "input": "The jury found that Nicholas Jacobs, 45, was not guilty of inflicting some of the many fatal blows to the helpless officer who was attacked after he fell to the ground. Prosecuting was always going to be difficult, as many of the witnesses had been given immunity after they admitted that they had kicked the officer. Here is some of the horrific evidence which was put to the jury at the Old Bailey. 'Kill the pig' 3 March 2014 PC Keith Blakelock was killed in a \"ferocious attack without mercy\" when he was set upon by an armed mob during rioting at Broadwater Farm in north London in 1985, the Old Bailey heard. Prosecutor Richard Whittam told the jury the officer had been stabbed more than 40 times and the group tried to decapitate him. Mr Whittam said the mob was shouting \"kill the pig\" as they attacked. Nicholas Jacobs, 45, denied murdering PC Keith Blakelock in Tottenham. 4 March The sergeant in charge of PC Keith Blakelock's unit said his team of 10 officers were attacked by youths armed with iron bars and a machete. He described how two groups of youths started to encircle his team and \"effectively outflank us and cut off our retreat\". He saw a group of people in a \"cluster or circle\" at the grass verge on the ground level, facing inwards and attacking someone. At first he thought it was one of the firefighters at the scene, he told jurors. He then realised that the man who had been surrounded was one of his officers, he told the court. 4 March A rap written by the defendant about the attack was found in his jail cell. Mr Whittam said the poem, found when Mr Jacobs was serving a prison sentence for affray at a youth custody centre in 1988, included phrases such \"we have intention to kill an police officer\" and \"we chop him all over\". It started: \"As long as I live I remember it was 1985 the 6th October...\" It continued: \"We chop him on him finger, we chop him on him leg... we done kill him off, lord er feel much better.\" 4 March The jury was told about PC Blakelock's injuries. Mr Whittam said a knife was lodged in the policeman's neck when his body was recovered and he had suffered 43 stab wounds caused by different weapons including single and double-bladed knives. The most devastating wound was to the side of his face, caused by a machete or an axe, the court was told. 5 March A written statement from fire station commander Graham Holloway, who attended the estate to deal with a fire at a supermarket inside one of the blocks, was also read in court. After coming under attack Mr Holloway ran outside and saw \"about 10 machetes\" being thrust towards a man who had fallen to the ground. \"I am convinced that this was a planned manoeuvre,\" he said in the statement. 6 March Former Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Kenneth Newman had put together a list of \"symbolic areas\" police needed to keep an eye on at the time, which included the estate. But Ch Supt Colin Couch, who worked in the area's police station, told the court the estate was not on the list because of crime, but because anyone could cross it from one side to another without descending to street level, making it \"impossible to police\". 10 March PC Keith Blakelock curled up in a ball and screamed for help as a mob hacked him to death during the riots, a witness told the Old Bailey. The witness used the pseudonym John Brown and had his voice distorted by a modulator to protect his identity. He said he saw Nicholas Jacobs stab the 40-year-old police officer between two and four times with a machete in Tottenham in October 1985. \"Did he [PC Blakelock] say anything?\" asked Richard Whittam QC, for the prosecution. \"I just heard screams of 'Help, help, help',\" he said. 17 March Rioters passed a police helmet around \"like a trophy\" after PC Keith Blakelock was killed in the Broadwater Farm disturbances. A witness, known as Rhodes Levin to protect his identity, said he had seen Mr Jacobs, 45, attacking the officer on the estate in Tottenham, north London, in October 1985. Mr Levin told the jury at that point he saw a police helmet but could not remember who was holding it. \"They were passing it around, showing it,\" he said. \"Like I say, it was like a trophy.\" 31 March Police radio messages from the riots were heard in court. The most senior officer there was heard saying PC Blakelock had stopped breathing and police were trying to resuscitate him. The recordings which were played featured confused messages from officers calling for \"urgent assistance\", before one officer is heard saying: \"We have a PC who I think is dead, can we get an ambulance?\" 1 April After the prosecution laid out its case, the defence asked the judge for the case to be thrown out from lack of evidence however Mr Justice Nicol said there was a case to answer and the trial continued. 2 April After the prosecution closed its case, Mr Justice Nicol asked defence barrister Courtenay Griffiths QC whether he had advised his client if he chooses not to give evidence \"the jury may draw such inference from his failure to do so\". Mr Griffiths replied: \"I have advised him and the defendant chooses to exercise his right not to give evidence.\"",

Japan's chief cabinet secretary Yoshihide Suga said the video image \"showing a killed Japanese person\" was \"an abominable and unforgivable act of violence\". There is some uncertainty over whether the video released on Saturday actually comes from Islamic State.

Other official videos have shown moving footage. Haruna Yukawa, 42, was seized by militants in August after going to Syria to set up a private military contracting company, according to reports. Kenji Goto, 47, is a well-known freelance journalist and documentary film-maker who went to Syria in October, reportedly to try to get Mr Yukawa released. In a video released on Tuesday, a masked man was shown standing over kneeling hostages named as Mr Yukawa and Mr Goto and demanding the ransom.

            "input": "A surprising number were not listening to albums, but recording them. Others were writing and drawing, or reading a daily short story before breakfast. A number found new or extreme ways of getting exercise. Here is a selection of your stories. Transcribing my mum's diary A tidy-up in the loft unearthed my mum's five diaries that she wrote during the war, living in Salford, as a teenager. I had seen them before, but the writing is so small, usually in pencil, that I didn't have the patience to read them all properly. My kids urged me to \"do something with them\", and I felt I had to, or all of those memories and intensely lived experiences would be forgotten forever. So I began to transcribe them. I loved it when she added \"good time\". It made me feel so happy that she'd had these nights of fun, of dancing with mysterious boys - usually referred to as an initial: \"danced with O\" or \"danced with F\". All of a sudden I felt like I had this 17-year-old friend, who was my mum. Wow, what they had to put up with. The day after the Manchester Blitz, she writes, \"My 20th birthday.\" But what struck me most was the joy - they didn't let the war get in the way. Despite Manchester getting really badly bombed, my mum went to the cinema 58 times in 1940. It resonated with what's going on now, that even in lockdown you can still get joy from doing things. She met my dad, Les, in 1941. I could tell she liked him when a week after their first date she writes, \"Had permanent wave.\" That year women were called up for war work and Mum learned to drive. My dad joked, \"Oh, they'll give you a milk float.\" She went to the grocery store where he worked and said, \"Les, come out and see my milk float,\" and it was a big lorry. She delivered ration kits from Carr's of Carlisle, all over the North - in her bobby socks. They got married in 1942, when she was 21, and that's when the diary stops. She put: \"The happiest year of my life.\" The comfort it bought me? I felt like I had spent lockdown in the company of my beloved and much missed mother. It made me less lonely and renewed my respect for what that generation of women had to go through. Fiona Heakin, Surrey Dancing accountant I am a qualified chartered accountant and currently work as a finance transformation manager, but alongside that I am a passionate choreographer. In April, as a result of the lockdown, I decided to take my dance to Instagram. I started providing free online dance lessons every Sunday, to help people stay at home, keep fit and learn something new. In doing so, I also raised over £1,000 for the NHS charities. After I stopped the tutorials, I decided to continue posting videos of my dances, as people's feedback was that it was making them happy, which made me happy. We all need to smile in these tough times. Priyanka Shah Malkan, London St Albans from A to Z My lockdown project this time was to walk every street in St Albans. The first Monday the clocks went back in October I realised I couldn't handle walking the dog round the corner in the dark every night. I needed a clever way to like the dark and cold, and make up for missing an hour's walking every day on my commute. I photo'd an A-to-Z and started doing walks, going up to the end of every cul-de-sac. It was all recorded on Strava, then at home I coloured the walk in on my map. I did some at weekends in daylight but most in the dark. There was very little traffic - I could walk in the road a fair bit if I chose. Altogether, it was 150 miles on 45 walks ending at the most famous arch in St Albans, the old monastery. Heidi, a German Wire-haired Pointer, a trained therapy dog who visits hospital dementia wards (when there isn't a pandemic), walked every street with me. Jim Hodgkins, St Albans First-time skateboarder During lockdown I decided that skateboarding could be fun. Call it a midlife crisis if you will (I'm 51). I borrowed a longboard from a lad at work and then bought one for myself - from a teenager on eBay. I went around the village pavements and used car parks to practise away from people and have since found some hills and small jumps to try. It's a very \"free\" feeling rolling along on the longboard, and the nicest thing has been the reaction of others. Everyone has been supportive. The first day I went to the skate park, there were some lads there - young men or teenagers - and I asked if they would film me on the board. They were very nice about it. My children, aged 10 and 12, don't think it's embarrassing, they think it's cool. Cycling is usually my thing, but it's nice to do something different. I was exposed to skateboarding in the late 70s, but we lived at the top of a hill so I never got into it. I'd like to try surfing too. Maybe I can get into that during the next lockdown. Susan Palmer, Cambourne, Cambridgeshire First-time ultra-athlete My unusual lockdown project, at the age of 55, was to take part in two ultra distance journeys in the Lake District. As it's my home, I was able to do it without breaking Covid restrictions. I'd never done an ultra journey before, but took on two big days out - the Frog Graham (swim/run 69km, with 15,000ft of climbing) and the Frog Whitton (swim/cycle 170km with 10,000ft of climbing). Only 20 minutes from my door, I was able to become the first person ever to complete the Double Frog. I trained for this in lockdown - including \"swimming\" on the lawn - and completed the second journey on 29 September with a 3am pitch black epic swim across Derwent Water during a storm, more than 24 hours after I had started. I then ran the last 3km in my wetsuit. I did it partly because of a diagnosis of osteonecrosis in both knees - I knew it was now or never, though the running was very painful - and also because I wanted to do something to mark the death in April of my uncle, the best man at my wedding. I was working from home and it was intense, as we were working extremely long days, trying to save our business. Training for the journeys gave me something else to focus on, and I now look back on 2020 as an achievement year not a nightmare year. It's probably the biggest achievement and adventure of my life. Andy Dickson, Cumbria Inventing games My year-long lockdown project has been to invent and create card and board games and I now have eight games completed to playable level with more in the pipeline. My background is in military history publishing but I have always been an enthusiastic gamer, both with card and board games and online with the old Xbox. Once the pandemic started and everything went to pot, with my business winding down and my wife taking early retirement, we wanted to keep our minds active and throw ourselves into something we both have a passion for. Our regular games nights with our friends had to be put on hold, obviously, so we decided to try creating the games we always wanted to play but couldn't find on the shelves. Having also seen a very dear friend recently crushed by dementia, I was acutely aware of the need to keep the brain active and engaged. Creating and playing the games does this and once everything is back to normal, the social interaction will also be a real boost as well. Sitting at a table in good company engaged in a game really does a lot for your sanity and mental wellbeing. In a dream scenario I'd like to continue creating games and get my prototypes produced and marketed. I am really enjoying the new challenges this has thrown up, so I suppose in that respect the pandemic has had a positive effect. Mark Marsay, Scarborough Tree and flower study I am now 88 and so I had to isolate with my partner, Nicky. Lockdown caught me struggling with my painting and drawing, but then I took the decision to do completely new editions of books I wrote many years ago - Wild Flowers of Britain, first published in 1976, and Trees in Britain, first published in 1977. I am using most of the original photographs but bringing in loads of new material. It keeps me busy, and will keep me busy until the autumn. Roger Phillips, London You may also be interested in: I'm sitting, typing. The rain spreads across the window in glossy veins. We can't go out, anyway, but the weather adds to the feeling of being stuck. So here I am inside, listening to music so familiar I can hear the next track as the first starts to fade. I flip over the record and reset the needle. And I'm crying. Happy tears... memory tears... tears of gratitude. Because you may be in lockdown but I'm at the gig of my life and all it took to get here was a song. 'I've been listening to 300 vinyl records to get me through lockdown'",

            "input": "By Roya Nikkhah BBC News Engineer Pascal Cotte has spent three years using reflective light technology to analyse The Lady with an Ermine. Until now, it was thought the 500-year-old painting had always included the ceremonial animal. Mr Cotte has shown the artist painted one portrait without the ermine and two with different versions of the fur. Leonardo experts have described the new findings as \"thrilling\" and said the discovery raises new questions about the painting's history. The Lady with an Ermine is a portrait of Cecilia Gallerani, a young woman in the Milanese court who was mistress to Ludovico Sforza, the Duke of Milan. 'Changing his mind' It is believed to have been painted between 1489 and 1490. The Duke was Leonardo's main patron during his 18 years in the city, and he was nicknamed \"the white ermine\". Mr Cotte, who is a co-founder of Lumiere Technology in Paris, has pioneered a new technique called Layer Amplification Method (LAM). It works by projecting a series of intense lights on to the painting. A camera then takes measurements of the lights' reflections and from those measurements, Mr Cotte is then able to analyse and reconstruct what has happened between the layers of the paint. Following the discovery, new theories have now been applied to the well-known portrait, including a suggestion the artist may have introduced the ermine into the painting to symbolise Gallerani's lover, later enhancing the animal to flatter his patron. Another theory is that Gallerani asked the artist to add the animal into the painting, so that the Milanese court was made fully aware of her relationship with the Duke. Polish home Mr Cotte said: \"The LAM technique gives us the capability to peel the painting like an onion, removing the surface to see what's happening inside and behind the different layers of paint. \"We've discovered that Leonardo is always changing his mind. This is someone who hesitates - he erases things, he adds things, he changes his mind again and again.\" Martin Kemp, Emeritus Professor of the History of Art at the University of Oxford, said: \"What Pascal Cotte is revealing in France is remarkable. \"It tells us a lot more about the way Leonardo's mind worked when he was doing a painting. We know that he fiddled around a good deal at the beginning, but now we know that he kept fiddling around all the time and it helps explain why he had so much difficulty finishing paintings. \"Leonardo is endlessly fascinating, so getting this intimate insight into his mind is thrilling.\" The painting belongs to the Czartoryski Foundation and is usually on display at the National Museum in Krakow, Poland. It is currently hanging in nearby Wawel Castle while the Museum undergoes renovation. The Lady with an Ermine was one of the star attractions at the National Gallery's 2011 exhibition, Leonardo Da Vinci: Painter at the Court of Milan. The painting has previously undergone several examinations using X-ray and infra-red analysis.",

            "input": "By Iain WatsonPolitical correspondent, BBC News That's what a Labour MP confided to me more than a week before Naz Shah's Facebook activities were exposed. There is no suggestion that this particular MP was involved - and equally no suggestion that the shock felt by long standing Labour Party members at anti-Semitic comments by newer recruits is synthetic. But for those opposed to Jeremy Corbyn's leadership, the week could hardly have gone better. There is a consensus that anti-Semitism in the Labour Party is not widespread. That contributed to Jeremy Corbyn's unfortunate \"crisis? What crisis?,\" comments which suggested to some that he wasn't serious enough about tackling a small but highly toxic problem before it became a big and highly toxic problem. At a recent meeting of the Parliamentary Labour Party, concerns were expressed that the wrong impression was being given and that there had to be swifter and more pro-active action to root out anti-Semitism. Chain reaction So Jeremy Corbyn's failure to suspend Naz Shah ahead of Prime Minister's Questions on Wednesday - allowing David Cameron to berate him - allowed the Labour leader's critics to question the competence of his leadership as well as the substance of the issue. But Ken Livingstone's remarks on Hitler and Zionism were a bonus. Because this has already set off a chain reaction of challenges for the Labour leadership. It has forced Jeremy Corbyn to use disciplinary procedures, which he dislikes. He fought against the \"witch hunt\" and expulsion of ultra-Leftists in the 1980s, and as leader he wants to open Labour's doors to those to the left of the party to help build a more radical party and movement. But now his critics are forcing him to at least lay the foundations of the walls to be built around Labour's broad church and to make clear some people, and some views, just aren't welcome. This, in turn, is likely to make him look weak in the eyes of some of his supporters who joined Labour in order to vote for him as leader. Then there is the question of what happens to Ken Livingstone - seen as a close supporter of the leader - after he has been investigated by party officials. If he isn't expelled, Jeremy Corbyn again will be portrayed as soft on anti-Semitism - a charge which deeply offends him. Pressure If Livingstone is expelled, not only will Jeremy Corbyn have lost an articulate high-profile ally, some on the left will be dismayed that the party leader hasn't been clear enough about the distinction between anti-Zionism and anti-Semitism, potentially opening up the possibility of a further purge of supporters. That said, it was significant that Jon Lansman - a key figure in the pro-Corbyn Momentum movement -has not attempted to defend the former London mayor. But then Tom Watson - the deputy leader with his own mandate - publicly fretted over the potential loss of seats in the forthcoming local elections in England because of the current adverse publicity. Some Labour MPs are already planning to denounce a poor performance after these elections and they have just been handed more ammunition. Pressure is also likely to mount on Jeremy Corbyn to distance himself not just from Ken Livingstone but from his own views. 'Wedge issue' When he met the President of the Board of Deputies of British Jews in February, Mr Corbyn said he would \"reflect\" on the request not to meet representatives of Hamas or Hezbollah as Labour leader. His critics feel there now has been enough time for reflection and are calling for a decisive statement. But what is most satisfying for his internal opponents is that they feel they have found a \"wedge\" issue to detach him from some of his support. Many of his MPs don't like his views on a range of issues but to attack him for - for example - wanting to scrap nuclear weapons merely strengthens his support amongst newer, more left-wing members. But while some of those members may have made offensive comments, many, many more despise anti-Semitism - so Jeremy Corbyn's reaction to those accused of it will be scrutinised closely by them. The anti-Semitism row could yet become the \"soft underbelly\" of his leadership.",

The group has been monitoring alleged abuses in the mainly Muslim Russian republic since 2017 when dozens of gay people were reportedly detained. A government spokesman has dismissed their latest report as \"complete lies\". Chechnya, and its authoritarian leader Ramzan Kadyrov, has consistently denied allegations of illegal detentions and human rights abuses. In an interview with the BBC last year, Mr Kadyrov said the allegations were \"an invention by foreign agents\" or created by activists looking for money. Homophobia is widespread in the highly conservative and predominantly Muslim Russian republic. Mr Kadyrov and other government figures have repeatedly claimed Chechnya has no gay population at all. Despite official denials, dozens have come forward and alleged they were detained and tortured by authorities because of their sexual orientation. The reports have drawn condemnation from around the world. What are the latest reports? The Russian LGBT Network, an activist group, has been monitoring the situation in Chechnya and working to evacuate people from the region since reports of the crackdown emerged in 2017. In a statement released on Monday, the group alleged a fresh wave of persecution and abuses had been unleashed in recent weeks. They believe the latest wave was sparked by the arrest of an administrator of an online LGBT group on the social media network VKontakte. Recent posts on the network have allegedly told LGBT people to \"run away from the republic as soon as possible\", according to reports in Russian media. Activists believe dozens have been taken in recent weeks to a detention centre near Argun - a town 20km (13 miles) from the city of Grozny. \"We know of around 40 people who have been detained, but it may be more. It's also unclear at this point how many have since been freed. We know that does happen, when people are handed over to their families to 'deal with',\" Igor Kochetkov, the head of the group, told the BBC. He said it had helped more than 140 people escape the region since the persecution began. The group had evidence, including from witnesses, that two detainees had died under torture, including one from knife wounds, he said. Mr Kochetkov also said that police were now seizing detainees' travel documents. \"Everything is being done so that they can't flee the country,\" he told the Moscow Times. \"And this is very bad for us because it makes our work much more difficult in terms of evacuation.\" The reports have not been independently verified by the BBC. Last month a report by the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) concluded that \"very serious human rights violations\" had occurred in the republic. The report was compiled using evidence including survivor testimony - and made allegations of harassment, persecution, torture, arbitrary arrests and extrajudicial killings of minorities, including LGBT people. It identified a \"climate of impunity\" and called on Russia to investigate the abuse. On Monday, a spokesman for the Chechen government told the Kremlin-backed RT website that the latest allegations were untruthful. \"If even a single person were arrested, let alone 40, the entire Chechen public would have known. The claim that two were killed is even more absurd,\" Alvi Kraimov said. One victim of the 2017 crackdown spoke anonymously to the BBC about his experience of detainment. He said he was subjected to torture - including electric shocks and beatings. \"They have a special black box and they attach wires to your hands or ears. The pain is awful. It's terrible torture,\" Ruslan (not his real name) said. Former detainees have spoken of being pressured to give the names of others during beatings.",

The Cuban nationals told officials they had survived largely on coconuts. One of the crew members involved in the rescue efforts told the BBC he was \"amazed that they were able to survive for so long\". The group was first spotted on the island located between the Florida Keys and Cuba on Monday. Coast Guard official Riley Beecher told the BBC that he was out on patrol when \"something caught the attention of my eye\". When he came back round at a lower altitude, he realised that there were people on the island in distress. The crew was not equipped to carry out an immediate rescue, but food, water and a radio were dropped to them so they could communicate. \"Unfortunately we didn't have any fluent Spanish speakers but in my broken Spanish I was able to discern that they were from Cuba and that they needed medical assistance. They made sure to stress that they had been on the island for 33 days,\" Lt Beecher said. The group of two men and one woman told Coast Guard officials that they swam to the island after their boat sank. Justin Dougherty said the group later told him they were \"able to get nourishment from coconuts\". \"At first glance the island doesn't seem to have much, but there is some shrubbery there and some trees so they were able to stay out of the elements somewhat,\" he said.

The trio were finally airlifted from the island by helicopter on Tuesday and taken to a medical centre in Florida, though they have no reported major injuries.

The 14-year-old, who lives in Badli, a slum in northwest Delhi, attends a state-run school where pads are distributed to all female students in middle and senior school under a government scheme to promote menstrual hygiene. It's an important campaign in a country where only 36% of its 355 million menstruating females use napkins (the remaining use old cloth, rags, husk or ash to manage the flow) and nearly 23 million girls drop out of school annually after they start their periods. But, with schools shut because of the lockdown, the supply of pads too has stopped. \"I got my last pack in February,\" says Priya. \"Since then, I have had to buy them from the local chemist. I have to pay 30 rupees ($0.40;£0.30) for a pack of seven napkins.\" Priya considers herself lucky that her parents can still pay for her to buy pads. Many of her neighbours have lost their jobs in the lockdown and can't even afford food. Girls in those families have had to start using rags. Just a few miles from Priya's home in Badli is Bhalaswa Dairy, a slum that's home to around 1,900 families. Madhu Bala Rawat, an activist who lives and works in the area, has also flagged the shortage of sanitary napkins for schoolgirls. \"Periods don't stop during a pandemic. Pads are essential for women, like food. Why does the government ignore our requirement,\" she asks? Most girls in the slum, including her 14-year-old daughter, are dependent on the supply from their school because they can't afford to buy sanitary napkins, she says. \"The girls are worried, how will they deal with their periods now? They don't like to use cloth anymore because they have become used to disposable napkins. The government should supply it with the monthly ration.\" After Ms Rawat sent out an SOS, Womenite, a charity that works on menstrual hygiene, distributed 150 packs of sanitary napkins in Badli and Bhalaswa Dairy in April. Harshit Gupta, founder of Womenite, says they have raised funds to distribute 100,000 more packs in Delhi and some surrounding districts in May to coincide with international menstrual hygiene day on the 28th. \"We'll start distributions in the next few days,\" he told the BBC. There have been other similar initiatives across India. One sanitary napkin manufacturer distributed 80,000 pads in Delhi and Punjab. And police in cities like Bangalore, Hyderabad, Jaipur, Chandigarh, Bhubaneshwar and Kolkata have been roped in to hand them out to residents of slums as well as stranded migrants in relief camps. On Monday, India's governing Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) announced it would be giving 600,000 packs to police to distribute among adolescent girls and women in Delhi slums. But it's not just the cities. The shortage of pads is being felt across the country and the problem is much more acute in semi-urban and rural areas, says Shailja Mehta, who works on issues of adolescents at Dasra, a philanthropic organisation. \"During our conversations with our partners in several states, we heard that only 15% girls had access to sanitary napkins during the lockdown. \"With schools shut, the girls are getting pads only through the community health workers who are handing over whatever little supplies they have.\" The problem started when India first imposed a country-wide lockdown on 25 March, and sanitary napkins were not in the list of essential items which were exempt from restrictions. It was only on 29 March, after reports that chemists, grocery stores and online sites were running out of pads, that the government added sanitary napkins to the list of essentials. The delay caused nearly 10 days of production loss. \"After the government allowed us to operate, it took us another three to four days to restart the factories because we had to get all the required permissions and passes for our workers,\" Rajesh Shah, president of Feminine and Infant Hygiene Association of India, told the BBC. Mr Shah says production is still partially resumed because there's an acute shortage of workers who have fled the cities for their villages. \"Only 60% of the factories are operational and not one is operating at full capacity. There is a shortage of workers, factories in 'containment zones' are not allowed to open, and there are massive disruptions in the supply and distribution chain.\" There's a massive shortage of sanitary napkins, he says and warns that the situation will get worse before it gets better. The impact is already being felt in the nooks and crannies of India. Tanya Mahajan of the Menstrual Health Alliance of India (MHAI), a network of NGOs, manufacturers and experts that works to create awareness about periods, says their partners from across the country have reported \"significant disruptions\" in supplies, especially in remote rural areas. \"The first to suffer is always the last mile,\" she says. \"In remote villages, where pads are not available in the local store, people have to go to the nearest town or district centre which could be 10-40kms away. Also at present, there is limited mobility because of social distancing and a lack of public transport.\" And most girls may not be comfortable asking men in the family to procure pads for them since periods is a taboo subject not openly talked about in Indian families. As a result, Ms Mahajan says, many adolescent girls who were dependent on getting supplies from their schools, have started using cloth pads. Considering that India uses a billion pads a month and the plastic in the disposable pads means they are not biodegradable, campaigners say reusable products such as menstrual cups and cloth pads are a much more sustainable alternative. Irrespective of what is used, says Arundati Muralidharan of WaterAid charity, it is essential to ensure hygiene - reusable cloth pads must always be cotton, they must be washed properly and dried in the sun before being reused. It may sound simple, but is not so easy to achieve. In slums, when all the men are at home because of the lockdown, girls and women may find it difficult to use toilet facilities as frequently as they like and in villages, getting additional water to wash pads and put them out in the sun to dry could be difficult. \"Many of our partner organisations say women and adolescent health has taken a backseat during the Covid-19 crisis and it's important to address that,\" Ms Muralidharan says.",

But one thing it turns out it's not, is fat-free. Because it turns out the plastic polymer it's made from also contains small amounts of tallow, derived from animal waste products - and some vegetarians are not happy. Familiar to previous generations as the base for every day staples such as soap and candles, tallow is traditionally derived from beef or mutton (but sometimes pork) at the slaughterhouse or later in the food production process. 'Essence of bacon' Vegans and vegetarians faced with this revelation have taken to social media to voice their concern and over 40,000 people have signed a petition calling for the contents of the notes to be changed. \"We demand that you cease to use animal products in the production of currency that we have to use,\" the petition reads. On Twitter annoyed vegetarians and vegans have said it's \"not cool\" and \"disgusting\" and asking whether their rights have been considered. However others have responded with rather more tongue-in-cheek approach, suggesting an \"essence of bacon\" is desirable in the UK's currency, speculating how many calories a fiver now contains and offering to relieve any affronted vegetarians of their unwanted notes. Some British Hindu leaders said they would discuss a possible ban on new five pound notes from temples. Cows are considered sacred by Hindus, many of whom don't wear shoes or carry bags made from the skin of cattle that has been slaughtered. Jewish leaders, whose religion also embraces several restrictions on the use of animal products, are less concerned about the new banknotes. A spokesman for the Board of Deputies of British Jews, Simon Round, told the BBC: \"The five pound notes wouldn't cause any problem to Jews unless they try to eat them. \"Jews are not allowed to consume tallow but are permitted to handle it.\" The Bank of England so far has adopted a sanguine approach to the furore: \"We can confirm that the polymer pellet from which the base substrate is made contains a trace of a substance known as tallow,\" it said in a statement. But, so far, it has no plans to draw up a new recipe.",

Mrs Fox believes that requests for the badges, which give access to disabled car park spaces, should be looked at by the council on a case by case basis. She said: \"We had an incident where I had to park right at the top of the car park because I didn't have a badge and when we came out of the supermarket he started to go off on one. \"By the time I got him to the car, which was a couple of minutes, he completely lost it and headbutted the windscreen and smashed it to pieces. \"I can see it coming so if I can get him back to the car quickly where I've got supplies and drinks to calm him down he hopefully wouldn't get to the meltdown stage.\" The petition points to the fact that Ryan is 18 stone, and when he throws himself to the floor \"his 6 stone mum has no hope\". The DfT guidelines state medical conditions such as autism do not qualify someone for a badge unless \"they are unable to walk or have very considerable difficulty in walking\".

The first motorcycles were built in 1902, winning the first Isle of Man TT race in 1907, though they did not carry the famous logo until 1916. Between the wars Norton was producing over 4,000 road bikes annually, winning the TT race 10 times. During World War Two the firm withdrew from racing but manufactured almost 100,000 sidevalve motorcycles - almost a quarter of all British military motorcycles. The 1968 Earls Court motor show saw the introduction of the Commando model and more than 500,000 were produced in the next decade. But the 1970s saw increased competition from Japan and the last Commando was produced in 1976. After going through a series of owners, the brand was relaunched in 1989 and enjoyed new TT success, beating a Yamaha to win in 1992, the first victory for a British bike for almost 30 years. Norton moved to Donington Park, Leicestershire, in 2008 and the name enjoyed renewed attention with appearances in films like The Motorcycle Diaries and James Bond thriller Spectre. But owner Stuart Garner warned earlier this year Norton owed tax authorities £300,000 and needed more time to pay. Follow BBC East Midlands on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram.

But there is concern that too many elderly people are living in poor health. And the figures vary across the country, with the North East and North West having lower life expectancies for 65-year-olds than other regions. Life expectancy among older age groups in England rose to its highest level in 2014 - with male life expectancy increasing by 0.3 years at age 65 and 0.2 years at ages 75, 85 and 95 since 2013. Female life expectancy increased by the same amounts at the same ages. This comes after a fall in life expectancy in some older age groups between 2011 and 2012. The only region where male and female life expectancy did not increase in 2014 was in the North East, where male life expectancy was higher in 2013. Among local authorities in England, the majority showed an increase or no change in life expectancy at age 65 - but one quarter showed a decrease. Not too late In the past, statistics have tended to focus on life expectancy at birth but now that most deaths in England occur in people over the age of 80, patterns of mortality in older age groups are becoming more important. Prof John Newton, chief knowledge officer at Public Health England, said the report presented a positive national picture that made achieving \"a good quality of life in later years even more important\". \"This report is an opportunity to remind people that, even during mid-life, it is not too late to improve your health,\" he said. \"Most of us could make changes today, like stopping smoking, being more active or eating better, that would allow us to look forward to healthier later years.\" He said it was not clear what had caused the variation in trends between local areas. Danny Dorling, professor of human geography at the University of Oxford, said there was an urgent need to find out why improvements had stalled in many parts of England in recent years. \"Beneath the headline figures of this report, there is evidence of worsening health for many older people in some parts of the country,\" he said. In Scotland, life expectancy continued to improve, with 65-year-old men expected to live for a further 17.4 years and women a further 19.7 years, according to the latest statistics.

            "input": "By Peter MwaiBBC Reality Check The story has started trending globally, with thousands of posts on social media, but not all of them factual. We have looked at some of the misinformation that has spread online. The woman protestor whose brothers were not killed by the police A striking image of a woman called Ugwu Blessing Ugochukwu crying while holding a folded Nigerian flag, and sitting on top of a statue have been widely shared on Twitter. The image is real, and she had joined protests in south-eastern Nigeria. But as the image was shared, people started adding misleading information. \"Not one brother...3...on the same day...killed and dumped in a well,\" a widely-circulated reply to one of the posts with the image said, claiming she'd lost family members at the hands of the police. When we contacted a spokesperson for Ms Ugochukwu called Gideon Obianime, he told us this was not true. He said Ms Ugochukwu herself was briefly detained by Sars forces in 2018, but although she has brothers, none of them had been killed by Sars forces. \"I think people started adding assumptions to the photo. She has been getting a lot of backlash [over this],\" Mr Obianime told the BBC. Carrying the national flag will not protect you from the army This unproven claim has gone viral - that a soldier cannot shoot someone holding the Nigerian flag. It's been widely shared on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram, with some suggesting there's an unwritten military code to that effect. The claim appears to have originated from a screenshot of a conversation, in which someone says they were told this by their dad, a retired army officer. Someone replies saying: \"I think this is military code... You guys should repost so protesters will see.\" However, there's no evidence for this, and some accounts have since deleted their posts after other online users pointed out it was misleading. Onyekachi Umah, a lawyer in Nigeria, told the BBC there were laws about respecting the national flag, but added: \"Just the fact that someone is holding the flag would not mean they [the army] cannot act.\" We have asked the army to find out if the practice is not to target any person holding the flag, but they have yet to respond. However, a Nigerian journalist told us they had asked a former senior officer about this, and had been told no such practice existed. No, a senior Nigerian official didn't call the protests 'child's play' A few days into the protests, a video was posted online showing one of President Muhammadu Buhari's advisers, Femi Adesina, apparently referring to them as just \"child's play\". Many interpreted this to mean the president's adviser was dismissing the protests. Alongside the video was a message: \"If you are not angry enough, I hope this video helps you.\" But the video is old and has been edited out of context. It relates to a different set of protests held two months ago - and has nothing to do with the Sars issue. At the time, Mr Adesina had been on a local TV station talking about those protests. But the video posted on Twitter has been edited to remove the introduction, which would have given the proper context. The TV station concerned, Channels TV, has now issued a clarification about the video. And Mr Adesina himself has released a statement, thanking the station for the clarification, and saying that the misleading video led to his phone being \"bombarded.... with curses, expletives, and messages from the pit of hell\". The 'fake' shopping mall incident that wasn't fake And now for an example of something being called out as fake that did happen - although exactly who was involved is not clear. A video showing looting and violence at a shopping mall in south-west Nigeria's Osun state over the weekend became the subject of accusations and counter-accusations about links to the anti-police brutality protests. The short video was posted by a Twitter account belonging to the All Progressives Congress UK - a group allied to Nigeria's ruling party - alleging that protesters linked to the anti-Sars movement were looting. But some online users supporting the anti-Sars protests were quick to dismiss the video. They said it was not related to Sars protests, but from the retaliatory attacks last year against South African-associated businesses after Nigerians had been targeted in South Africa. Others claimed the video was staged. From the video, some shops in the location can be clearly identified and we found they match photos posted on the Osun Mall website. The BBC spoke to one of the shop owners and someone who witnessed the attack, who confirmed it took place. Also, this mall only opened in December last year, some months after the xenophobic attacks - which rules out the video being from then. We have contacted the state police to try to find out who was involved in the incident, but have yet to receive a response. Nigerian Catholic bishops and an anti-Sars protest A tweet that has been re-tweeted thousands of times falsely claimed that Catholic bishops had marched in support of the protests. The tweet included a photo showing bishops among a procession of people, most of them wearing black, with some carrying placards. But this photo is old. A reverse image search shows it is from March, when the Catholic Bishop's Conference of Nigeria (CBCN) led a protest in Abuja against killings and kidnappings in the country. The umbrella body of Catholic Bishops in Nigeria has issued a statement supporting the Sars protests, but they have not physically joined in any protests.

            "input": "Shadow immigration minister Chris Bryant said without that knowledge they could never be removed. Immigration Minister Damian Green said there were 3,940 foreign offenders living in the UK, but it was \"difficult to say\" where every individual was. He insisted the government was making every effort to speed up deportations. Mr Green was summoned to the Commons to make an urgent statement on foreign criminals following reports in the Sunday Times. The newspaper obtained a leaked internal UK Border Agency (UKBA) report that its says details re-offending - including murders, kidnapping and sexual offences - by foreign criminals who have served jail terms in Britain. Offenders' whereabouts Mr Bryant said figures from the report showed the number of foreign criminals deported had actually fallen by more than 700 this year - while the number living in the community pending removal had risen by 500 between May and September this year. This, he said, amounted to seven foreign criminals in every UK constituency. Mr Bryant also demanded to know whether the government was aware of the precise whereabouts of all those concerned and whether they had committed any serious crimes while awaiting removal. \"So far on your watch we have seen numbers of staff at UKBA going down, numbers of foreign national offenders deported going down and numbers of foreign criminals in our midst going up,\" he said. \"Don't you realise that's the wrong way round?\" Mr Green said the government was now beginning deportation proceedings against every foreign prison inmate 18 months before the end of their sentence in order to secure swift removal upon completion. It also, he said, detained those it hoped to remove who were released before deportation could be finalised - and monitored closely in the community any who were released, so they could be eventually removed at a later date. But he said ministers had to \"operate within the law\" and where courts ordered that someone be released, the government had to comply. Of the nearly 4,000 foreign offenders in the community, 90% of them had been released by the courts - 60% on human rights grounds. Others released were low-risk offenders \"where there is no realistic prospect of removal within a reasonable period of time\". 'Abuse' As well as challenges under the Human Rights Act - including claims that a person should be allowed to stay in the UK because of dependants living here - deportation was also hindered by a lack of cooperation by offenders or their home country in getting essential travel documents, he said. But he said the government was making other efforts to improve things, including contributing taxpayers money to build a prison in Nigeria to help speed up removals. And Mr Green added: \"We are doing everything in our power to increase the number and speed of removals. \"We are chartering flights to remove foreign offenders to many more long-haul and challenging destinations. \"We will change the immigration rules to cut abuse of the Human Rights Act.\" The immigration minister faced questions from a number of MPs, including Conservative Mark Field. He said the public would find it \"rather unedifying watching this blame game\" between Mr Green and Mr Bryant when what they cared about was being protected from \"dangerous\" foreign criminals \"who should have been kicked out of this country\". Labour's Frank Dobson asked Mr Green whether instead of imprisoning foreign criminals, the UK could \"save the expense\" and simply deport them as soon as they were convicted. The minister replied: \"Successive Home Secretaries and ministers of immigration have grappled with that suggestion and one of the problems would be you would need to know that they would be sentenced to some kind of equivalent term in their own country. \"Otherwise you would have the terrible situation where somebody could commit a serious crime in this country in the full knowledge that the worst thing that would happen to them if they were caught and convicted would be they would be returned home free to their own country.\" In October, the independent inspector of the UKBA said more than 5,000 foreign criminals awaiting deportation remained in the UK. John Vine said the number who were not deported or could not be deported at the end of their sentence was increasing and that the majority of successful appeals against deportation were made on human rights grounds. His report showed that between 2007 and 2010, 20,360 foreign national prisoners were deported from the UK - 5,235 last year alone.",

He is famed for using a loop pedal during performances - allowing him to record his guitar for a backing track and then play more guitar over it. Closing the final night at Chantry Park, he told fans \"this might be the last loop pedal gig\". The two-and-a-half-year world tour has rewritten the money-making record books. It is the most-attended and highest-grossing tour of all time, having been seen by 7.5m people and raised revenues of more than £666m. During the final night, the 28-year-old donned a Framlingham Town football shirt, in honour of the club from the Suffolk town where he grew up. On the previous three nights, he wore his own branded Ipswich Town shirt. As he waved goodbye to the crowd on Monday, he told them \"see you in two years\". Over the four days, about 160,000 fans basked in the hot and sunny weather in the park in south Ipswich. Sheeran was supported by The Darkness each night, while Passenger performed on the first two nights and Lewis Capaldi took to the stage for the final two nights. Four local acts, three chosen by BBC Introducing in Suffolk and one by clothing company Hoax, opened the gigs. They were Bessie Turner, Piers James, Salvador and Caswell. On the penultimate night, the singer was joined on stage by rapper Stormzy, with whom he has just released the single Take Me Back to London. The Divide tour began in Europe in 2017 and has taken in North and South America, Africa, Australasia and Asia. It beat the previous highest-grossing tour, U2's 360 Degrees Tour, which made £450m from its 110 shows between 2009 and 2011.",

            "input": "A bill designed to prevent a no-deal Brexit, which would require Mr Johnson to ask for an extension to the UK's departure date, is expected to pass into law on Monday. Here is a round up of what the commentators say about the prime minister's position and his possible next moves. 'Be cool like Fonzies' Katy Balls, deputy political editor of the Spectator, tweeted that Dominic Cummings, the senior adviser to the prime minister, told a meeting of government aides that they needed to be \"cool like Fonzies\" as No 10 plots its next move. The directive is part of a strategy to \"wait for others to melt\" while the government increases the pressure. But Rachel Sylvester, a political columnist for The Times, told BBC Radio 4's Today programme that cabinet ministers \"certainly aren't cool like Fonzies\". \"I spoke to one last night who said they've completely miscalculated on Labour's attitude to a election and there's a real fear that there is no plan B. \"It is very hard to see how Boris Johnson gets out of this mess, he seems to have checkmated himself... and it's very difficult to see where he goes without humiliating himself or losing power.\" Hidden Trick Sebastian Payne, Whitehall correspondent for the Financial Times, questioned whether No 10 had a hidden trick up its sleeve. He told Today: \"They could for example, bring a no confidence motion in Mr Johnson himself. \"It would look weird for the Tories to say they have no confidence in their own government, but all it would need would be a straight majority, and if they win that, then we could start the train towards an election.\" He added that No 10 had made a \"strategic miscalculation\" in assuming Labour would \"cave in\" to Tory calls for an election - and that it was Corbyn's party who were acting \"cool like Fonzies\". \"Dominic Cummings has decided that the Tories have to become the real Brexit party... In those northern and midlands constituencies that voted Leave, there is a lot of pathological hatred towards the Tories in those seats. \"The question is, does the sheer force of Brexit and Mr Johnson break those bonds? Theresa May tried this in 2017... they thought they were going to win [in those constituencies] and they stayed in their old voting tribes, it's a big risk. \"If it pays off, Mr Johnson could get a nice healthy majority, but the Tories will essentially become the Brexit Party.\" From Stormzy to Michael Barrymore Matthew d'Ancona, editor of the slow-news outlet Tortoise, told Newsnight Mr Johnson had had a \"disastrous week in political showbusiness\". \"One minute you're Stormzy and the next minute you wake up and you're Michael Barrymore. \"That's what's happened. He was sold to us as this guy who is a winner, he could do all the things that Theresa May hadn't been able to do, and he could unite the party and the country by the sheer bringing of confidence and charisma. \"He's like a person pressing the button on the app on his phone in fury, saying why is it not happening the way that he wants it to. \"The reason is that Brexit is fabulously difficult to achieve. We are untangling 40 years of legal, constitutional and commercial arrangements.\" Mr Johnson has said that resigning as prime minister if he did not get a deal with the EU by 17 October was \"not a hypothesis\" he would be willing to contemplate. But Mr Johnson could tactically resign as prime minister in the hope of getting back in. Rachel Sylvester called this idea \"bizarre\". She added: \"The whole point about Boris Johnson, the reason he was elected Tory leader, is that he is supposed to be a winner - and already he's lost four out of four parliamentary votes, and he's looking bizarre even on the election campaign trail, which he has already started out on.\" PM could be a 'Brexit martyr' Tom Holland, the author of Dominion, a new book about the history of Christianity, compared the prime minister's tumultuous week to the \"classical history that Boris Johnson's entire education has been marinated [in]\". He told Newsnight Mr Johnson might be drawing on such lessons for his Brexit plans, adding \"that there is a kind of heroism in dying on your sword\". Boris Johnson's decision to deselect 21 rebel Tory MPs, is a \"brutal strategy\", Mr Holland said, adding: \"In terms of his reputation and status, he is laying quite a lot on the line.\" Resurrect May's deal Could the prime minister repackage Theresa May's withdrawal agreement and persuade MPs to vote for it a fourth time round, so he doesn't have to request an extension? John Rentoul, the chief political commentator of The Independent, wrote on Saturday: \"Is there a change that could be made to the withdrawal agreement that would persuade 30 more MPs than voted for it last time to do so at the last moment? \"It doesn't seem likely. Johnson cut the ground from under his own feet on Wednesday, when he said that, if the anti-no-deal bill became law, it 'effectively ends the negotiations' with the EU.\" But if EU leaders regard another extension as only \"postponing the problem\", they may prefer to help achieve \"an orderly Brexit, with a deal\".",

            "input": "By Ana Nicolaci da Costa Business reporter It has moved to restrict Huawei's ability to trade with US firms, shortly after reigniting the trade war with tariff hikes. The latest blows to the Chinese telecoms giant mark a grave escalation in the US-China power struggle. As the trade war broadens into a \"technology cold war\", the prospect of a deal looks increasingly distant. \"The US action against Huawei is a watershed moment and a very significant escalation of tensions,\" says Michael Hirson, Asia director at the Eurasia Group. \"A trade deal is not doomed but looks very unlikely, especially in the near term.\" The crackdown on Huawei has become a central part of relations between Washington and Beijing, which has primarily played out as a trade war over the past year. While the US has justified its actions against Huawei based on the alleged risk it poses to national security, US President Donald Trump has also linked it to the trade row. Only recently, Mr Trump said Huawei could be part of a trade deal between the world's two largest economies. Such comments risk reinforcing a view that the action against Huawei is about more than just security risks. Some see it as an attempt by the US to contain a powerful Chinese firm, and by extension China's growing importance in the world. \"The prospect of a US action hobbling one of China's most prominent tech companies, and key to its global ambitions in 5G, is already evoking a surge of nationalist sentiment in China,\" says Mr Hirson. How damaging are the moves against Huawei? The US has added Huawei to a list of companies that US firms cannot trade with unless they have a licence. At the same time, Mr Trump signed an executive order which effectively bars US firms from using foreign telecoms firms believed to pose national security risks. \"Of the two moves that Trump made - the executive order and adding Huawei to the entity list - the latter is far more impactful,\" says Mr Hirson. Huawei is the world's second biggest smartphone maker and a key player in the development of next-generation 5G technology. Its chief legal officer Song Liuping has said that more than three billion consumers could be hit by the US decision to add Huawei to the entity list. The US moves are already sending ripples across the technology sector. Google barred Huawei from some updates to the Android operating system. New designs of Huawei smartphones are set to lose access to some Google apps. \"If Huawei phones are undercut by the lack of Android operating system, it would hurt consumers by limiting competition in the cellphone market and causing prices to rise,\" says Yan Liang, associate professor of economics at Willamette University. Analysts say the clampdown on Huawei could also hurt the development of 5G. \"Huawei also holds a dozen of patents in the 5G development. Limiting Huawei will push back 5G technology and make it more costly to implement,\" adds Prof Liang. How damaging is it for US firms? Washington's restrictions on Huawei will also hurt US firms. Huawei's Mr Song said more than 1,200 US firms would be \"directly\" hit. The company's founder Ren Zhengfei recently told Bloomberg that Huawei would use more of its own chips if there were further US restrictions, and would reduce its purchases from the US. Half of the chips Huawei uses are from US companies, and half they produce themselves, he said. Indeed, some analysts say the US government also risks hurting itself. \"You punish Huawei but you also punish yourself: You lose market share, lose all of your business sales to Huawei,\" says Huiyao Wang, the president of the Centre for China and Globalization in Beijing. \"And also you probably force Huawei to develop on its own - that's not a wise move for the US.\" Global Trade More from the BBC's series taking an international perspective on trade: What else is driving Mr Trump's confrontational strategy? Analysts say politics is also shaping Mr Trump's approach towards China ahead of US elections next year. There is a growing consensus in Washington that China has played unfairly in global trade for years. Being tough on China has therefore become an easy way of scoring political points in the run-up to the 2020 vote. This could mean a trade deal will not happen for some time. \"Political considerations are front and centre in the White House and certainly impacting the course of these negotiations,\" says Stephen Olson, research fellow at the Hinrich Foundation. \"It's possible that the political calculation - correct or incorrect - is that pursuing and extending the trade war is playing well with his political base. That would not bode well for the future.\" Mr Trump will have to balance playing hardball with the risk that his China policy may contribute to an economic slowdown, along with losses in the stock market. So is the trade deal doomed? Even though a recent escalation in the US-China dispute has dashed hopes for an imminent resolution, analysts say a trade deal is not yet doomed. Critically, China has shown a willingness to negotiate and analysts expect this to continue as it tries to retain the moral high ground. China went to Washington for trade talks even as the Trump administration raised tariffs on $200bn (£158bn) of Chinese goods and threatened duties on additional products. \"Admittedly things look pretty dire right now,\" says Mr Olson. \"But one scenario that would be entirely plausible is that you have a little bit of a cooling off period between these countries and after a certain period of time some phone calls get exchanged, some meetings take place and we start putting things back together again.\" Mr Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping are expected to meet at the G20 summit in Japan next month. The meeting represents a \"critical window to de-escalate tensions,\" says Eurasia Group's Mr Hirson. \"If the G20 passes without at least a truce, it is more likely than not that Trump will follow through with a threat to impose additional tariffs on China. Then we're looking at a long, hot summer of escalation by both sides.\"",

Police in Connecticut have released a full list of the names of those who died. Here is what we know so far about the victims of one of America's deadliest school shootings. Dawn Hochsprung, 47 The head teacher of Sandy Hook Elementary viewed her school as a model, telling the Newtown Bee newspaper in 2010: \"I don't think you could find a more positive place to bring students to every day.\" In October she shared a picture of the school's evacuation drill with the message \"Safety first.\" Officials said she died while lunging at the gunman in an attempt to overtake him. Dawn Hochsprung was married and was the mother of two daughters and three step-daughters. She became head teacher at Sandy Hook in 2010. Friends talk of her infectious laughter. Victoria Soto, 27 Investigators told relatives that she was killed while shielding her pupils. She hid some in a bathroom or closet, ensuring they were safe, and then told the gunman that her class was in the gym. Her cousin Jim Wiltsie told ABC News: \"She was trying to shield, get her children into a closet and protect them from harm. And by doing that, put herself between the gunman and the children.\" He added: \"She lost her life doing what she loved.\" Victoria Soto grew up in Stratford, Connecticut and graduated from Eastern Connecticut State University. Her father worked for the state transport department and her mother is a nurse. She was studying for a master's degree in special education. Mary Sherlach, 56 When the shooting started, school psychologist Mary Sherlach ran toward the shooter along with Ms Hochsprung, according to superintendent of Newtown Public Schools Janet Robinson. Those who knew her called her a wonderful neighbour and a dedicated educator. Her husband, William, told US media: \"She considered what she was doing as God's work - that's all you need to know about her\". Her son-in-law, Eric Schwartz, told the South Jersey Times that she relished helping children overcome their problems. She had planned to leave work early on Friday, he said. He told reporters the loss was devastating but that Sherlach was doing what she loved. Mary Sherlach was the mother of two daughters, Maura, 28, and Katy, 25. Lauren Rousseau, 30 Lauren Rousseau's mother, Teresa, said Lauren had spent years working as a substitute teacher and was thrilled when she finally become a full-time teacher at Sandy Hook. \"It was the best year of her life,\" she told the Danbury News-Times, where she is a copy editor. Lauren Rousseau had planned to see the film The Hobbit with her boyfriend on Friday and had baked cakes for a party they were to attend afterward. She was a graduate of the University of Connecticut and the University of Bridgeport. Anne Marie Murphy, 52 Her father, Hugh McGowan, told US media that emergency officials had called Anne Marie Murphy a hero for her attempts to protect her charges. The special education teacher, who had four children of her own, placed herself in front of her class. Her body was found covering children. Anne Marie Murphy was born in New York State and was described by her mother as a \"happy soul\". \"She was a very good daughter, a good mother, a good wife. We loved being together.\" Rachel D'Avino, 29 Rachel D'Avino was a behavioural therapist, helping children with autism. She had only recently started working at Sandy Hook Elementary School. Her boyfriend had recently asked her parents for her hand in marriage, and was intending to propose to her on Christmas Eve, her obituary on a funeral home website said. \"Her presence and tremendous smile brightened any room she entered,\" it said. \"Rachel loved animals, cooking, baking, photography, and karate. She was an adoring big sister who cherished her two younger siblings like they were her own children.\" Her friend, Lissa Lovetere, first met D'Avino in 2005 when the therapist was assigned to help her autistic son in the town of Bethlehem. \"Her job didn't end when the school bell rang at 3 o'clock,\" Ms Lovetere said. She said Ms D'Avino was so dedicated that she would make home visits and offer any advice she could. \"I think she taught me more about how to be a good mother to a special needs child than anyone else ever had.\" Emilie Parker, 6 Father Robbie Parker, 30, was one of the first parents to publicly talk about his loss. He said Emilie, the older of his three children, \"could just light up a room\". He told reporters that she loved to try new things - except food. \"My wife and I don't understand how to process this and how to get our lives going. I don't know how to get through something like this,\" he said. Ana Marquez-Greene, 6 Ana is the daughter of jazz saxophonist Jimmy Greene, who had just started a new job at Western Connecticut State University. \"As much as she's needed here and missed by her mother, brother and me, Ana beats us all to paradise. I love you sweetie girl,\" her father wrote on Facebook. The child's grandmother, Elba Marquez, said the family had moved to Connecticut from Canada earlier this year, drawn in part by Sandy Hook's glowing reputation. \"It was a beautiful place, just beautiful. What happened does not match up with the place where they live,\" she said. Ms Marquez said Ana's nine-year-old brother was also at the school, but escaped safely. Jimmy Greene named a composition after Ana, 'Ana Grace' on his 2009 album, 'Mission Statement'. Dylan Hockley, 6 In an interview with local newspaper the Newtown Bee earlier this year, Dylan Hockley's mother Nicole said the family had moved to the US from England two years ago. Father Ian Hockley previously worked in Southampton. Prayers were said on Sunday for Dylan and his family in the English town of Eastleigh, in Hampshire, where they used to life. Neighbours there spoke of Dylan as a lovely, intelligent boy who enjoyed school. The Hockleys are reported to have lived in Yogananda Street and were neighbours of Adam and Nancy Lanza. Grace McDonnell, 7 \"We are overwhelmed by the outpouring of love and support from so many people,\" Grace's parents, Chris and Lynn, said in a statement to the Washington Post newspaper. \"Our daughter Grace was the love and light of our family. Words cannot adequately express our sense of loss.\" Her grandmother, Mary Ann McDonnell, said Grace loved wearing pink and dressing up, and enjoyed art, gymnastics, football and her small spaniel Puddin'. \"She was a wonderful little girl. She was always smiling,\" Mary Ann McDonnell said. Noah Pozner, 6 He attended Sandy Hook school with his twin sister, Arielle, and an older sister, Sophia, 8. Arielle was in a different class and survived the attack, as did Sophia. Noah had celebrated Hanukkah the Saturday before the shooting with his uncle, Arthur, in Brooklyn. His uncle described him as very inquisitive and intelligent: \"For a six-year-old, he was a very smart kid.\" Olivia Engel, 6 Olivia was a happy child, with a great sense of humour, who enjoyed school and was doing well, her family said in a statement. Her uncle, John Engel, said she \"lit up a room and the people around her\". A friend of the family described her as a \"wiggly, smiley six-year-old\". She loved art, drawing and designing, played tennis and football and took several dance classes. \"She was a great big sister and was always very patient with her three-year-old brother, Brayden,\" her family said. Olivia had been cast to play an angel in a Nativity play in St Rose of Lima church on Saturday, the Reverend Robert Weiss told the Reuters news agency. Catherine Hubbard, 6 In a statement released to the media, her parents Matthew and Jennifer Hubbard said: \"We are greatly saddened by the loss of our beautiful daughter, Catherine Violet, and our thoughts and prayers are with the other families who have been affected by this tragedy. We ask that you continue to pray for us and the other families who have experienced loss in this tragedy.\" Charlotte Bacon, 6 Charlotte was supposed to have kept her brand new pink dress and boots for the holidays, but had persuaded her mother to let her wear them to school on Friday, said her uncle John Hagen. \"She was going to go some places in this world,\" he told local media. \"This little girl could light up the room for anyone\". Her older brother Guy also attended the school, but escaped the shooting. Daniel Barden, 7 The youngest of three children, Daniel was \"fearless in the pursuit of happiness in life... earning his ripped jeans and missing two front teeth\", the family said in a statement. \"Words really cannot express what a special boy Daniel was,\" they said. \"Such a light. Always smiling, unfailingly polite, incredibly affectionate, fair and so thoughtful towards others, imaginative in play, both intelligent and articulate in conversation; in all a constant source of laughter and joy.\" Jesse Lewis, 6 Jesse's father Neil Heslin described his son as a happy boy, who was doing well in school and \"going to go places in life\". He particularly enjoyed playing at his mother's farm, and had \"been on horses since he was a year-and-a-half old\", Mr Heslin told the New York Post. Mr Heslin said he had been planning to return to school later on Friday to help Jesse and the rest of his classmates make gingerbread houses. Jessica Rekos, 6 Jessica was a \"creative, beautiful little girl who loved playing with her little brothers, Travis and Shane\", her family said. She loved \"everything about horses\", enjoyed writing in her journals, and had become fascinated with killer whales after watching the movie Free Willy, they said. The family described her as their \"rock\" and said they \"cannot imagine our life without her\". \"She had an answer for everything, she didn't miss a trick, and she outsmarted us every time. We called her our little CEO for the way she carefully thought out and planned everything,\" they said. Jack Pinto, 6 Jack Pinto was a huge fan of the New York Giants, and idolised one of the team's star players Victor Cruz. The Giants paid tribute to all the victims of the shooting during its game on Sunday, but Victor Cruz wore Jack's name on his shoes and gloves in a personal tribute to his young fan. Josephine Gay, 7 Josephine is reported to have celebrated her seventh birthday on Tuesday, just three days before the massacre. Chase Kowalski, 7 Chase was a boy who was always outside, playing in the garden or backyard, riding his bicycle. A neighbour said that just last week he had been describing winning his first mini-triathlon. \"You couldn't think of a better child,\" Kevin Grimes said. James Mattioli, 6 Described as a \"numbers guy\" by his family, six-year-old James loved maths and would often come up with insights beyond his years to explain the relationship between numbers. He was born four weeks before his due date and his family often joked that he came into the world early because he was hungry. In his obituary they described James' love of hamburgers with ketchup, his dad's omelettes with bacon and his mum's French toast. He often asked to stop at a popular sandwich shop and ask how old he needed to be to order a foot-long sandwich. A thoughtful and considerate boy, they said he recently chose to give up a gift for himself and use the money instead to buy his grandfather a mug for Christmas. The other young victims are: Madeleine Hsu, 6; Caroline Previdi, 6; Avielle Richman, 6; Benjamin Wheeler, 6; Allison Wyatt, 6. Nancy Lanza, 52 Nancy Lanza appears to have been the first victim of her son Adam, who shot her dead at their home before making his way to Sandy Hook school. She has been described as a friendly, considerate and generous neighbour, who enjoyed games nights, gardening and craft beers. She was also a gun enthusiast, and it was her weapons that Adam used in his rampage. She reportedly took her sons target shooting, although friends have described her as a responsible gun owner. Nancy Lanza had home-schooled Adam for several years after she had \"battled\" with school system officials over how to educate her highly-intelligent but socially awkward son, her sister-in-law Marsha said. She was left \"very well off\" after divorce from husband Peter in 2009, and was \"always there for\" Adam and his older brother Ryan, Marsha Lanza said.",

Border restrictions have meant thousands of roles usually filled by foreign backpackers are now empty. Many businesses are struggling. Before Covid hit, tourism was worth some A$22bn to Queensland. That plummeted after border restrictions were put in place in March 2020. Since then, only citizens, permanent residents and those with exemptions have been allowed to enter the state - and only if they complete a 14-day hotel quarantine on arrival at their own expense. But as the country begins to open up internally and Australians begin to look for holidays at home, Queensland is trying to attract domestic visitors. However, with a shortage of staff, many are struggling to cater even for the reduced numbers. According to news agency AFP, \"help wanted\" signs are a common sight in tourist towns. Tourism Port Douglas's chief executive Tara Bennet told Australia's ABC News some restaurants were only opening 80% of the time. \"We do rely on working holidaymakers every year to come up and supplement our work and they're just not in Australia right now,\" she said. That means this latest scheme is aimed at Australians. According to Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk, the money - part of a A$7.5m package to bring in more workers - is available to people from across the country willing to take up jobs in regional Queensland. There is also a A$250 travel bonus for those who qualified. The scheme covers jobs such as tour guiding, bartending and working in kitchens. It will run for a year from 20 May - although people interested only have six months to apply. This is not the first time Queensland has come up with an inventive way to help its tourism industry. Back in 2009 - when the global economic crash had dented visitor figures - it launched a hunt for a \"caretaker\" of Hamilton Island on the Great Barrier Reef, which came with a A$150,000 salary.

Current laws require women to take two doses of medication in a clinic to end a pregnancy. This means some experience cramping and bleeds on their journey home. One woman from London, who chose to remain anonymous, told us: \"Within a few minutes, I began miscarrying. I was bleeding heavily and the cramping was disabling. \"My friend had to help me walk from the car to his flat. It was humiliating and unnecessary. I remember feeling ashamed of myself and that maybe the pain and humiliation was necessary.\" RCOG president Prof Lesley Regan said: \"We sincerely hope that one of the first things the new health secretary will do is to demonstrate his commitment to women's health by enabling women to take misoprostol, the second drug used to effect an early medical abortion, at home. \"He has the opportunity to follow Wales and Scotland's compassionate lead, giving women access to the care they want and need.\" Anti-abortion group Society for the Protection of Unborn Children Scotland is challenging the changes already introduced in Scotland and says they trivialise abortion and leave women with physical and mental harm. SPUC Scotland chief executive John Deighan said: \"In legal terms we believe the policy is outside the scope of the 1967 Abortion Act, so principally doctors have to act in accordance with the law and so does the Scottish government.\" Medical abortion Early medical abortions take place in the first nine weeks of pregnancy and involve two sets of medication. Under the 1967 Abortion Act, terminations can be carried out only on licensed premises. In England, women must take both doses in a clinic or hospital but the Scottish and Welsh governments now permit the final dose to be administered at home. Prof Sharon Cameron, a consultant gynaecologist in Edinburgh, said the changes, which came into effect in Scotland in October 2017, had increased trust between staff and patients. \"Women are hugely appreciative of this service. We know that we are significantly improving the wellbeing of thousands of women requesting an abortion each year in Scotland.\" Dr Jonathan Lord, a consultant gynaecologist based in Truro, Cornwall, said some of his patients had not made it home in time after taking the medication in his clinics. \"In a rural community such as Cornwall, where the travel times can be quite long and some of our patients are wholly reliant on public transport, it means they can be caught short on the journey home. \"Whereas if they were allowed to take the tablets at home, they have the privacy of their own home but also they don't have the incredible trauma and embarrassment of losing the abortion on public transport.\" A Department of Health and Social Care official said: \"Around 180,000 women have an abortion each year in England - our priority is always to ensure that care is safe and of a high quality. We will continue to monitor the evidence surrounding home-use.\"",

He professes to be fighting decadence because he is a pious Muslim. He sent a dossier on music teacher Maria Shestopalova to her school bosses in Krasnoyarsk, Siberia. She says they then forced her to quit. Ms Shestopalova, 21, told the BBC she had been summoned by the heads of Krasnoyarsk Further Education Centre No 4 immediately after Mr Bulatov's denunciation of her. \"Without understanding the situation properly the director rang me on Monday evening and said, very unpleasantly, that she was expecting me in her office at 9:00am on Tuesday, and advised me to tender my resignation,\" she said via vKontakte. She said they spent six hours questioning her and applying pressure by citing the reputation of the school, the other teachers and her parents. She resigned after that, she said. \"Evidently they had no desire to establish who was right and who was wrong. Having decided that this solution would be easier for them they pressurised me, to make me quit.\" Treated 'like a child' She said the school had sent a letter to Mr Bulatov immediately after the meeting, telling him that she had been fired. She told the BBC that they had treated her \"like a child - it was simply inhumane\". School director Olga Etsel, interviewed by Russian news website Meduza, denied Ms Shestopalova's allegation about psychological pressure. And she said the meeting had lasted 90 minutes, not six hours. A Russian law passed in 2013 controversially banned the spreading of \"gay propaganda\" among minors. Reports say the Russian interior ministry is investigating Ms Shestopalova's behaviour. Body piercing Mr Bulatov condemned her for wearing lip and ear piercings and for \"supporting LGBT sexual deviants and promoting homosexuality\". He wages his \"morality\" campaign from St Petersburg. On vKontakte he claims to head a movement called \"First Moral Russian Front\". He calls himself \"Timur Bulatov (Isaev), social activist\". Ms Shestopalova accuses Mr Bulatov of hounding her from her job. She says he heaped abuse on her in a telephone conversation, and she is now taking legal action against him. Russia's ban on \"gay propaganda\" angered human rights activists and the international gay community. The law suggests that homosexuality - described as \"non-traditional sexual relations\" - is alien to life in Russia. Many homophobic attacks have been documented in Russia. Mr Bulatov told Russian news website Tayga.info that he had \"rescued\" Russian children from 65 \"immoral\" teachers. On his site he posted the 31-page dossier on Ms Shestopalova, with a long message denouncing her. \"This teacher clearly does not meet the standards of her profession and can harm her pupils. We demand that Maria Shestopalova be sacked for amoral behaviour,\" he wrote. Ms Shestopalova said she had worked at the Krasnoyarsk school for five years, for a salary of about 8,000 roubles (£107; $131) a month.",

Mr Nixon gave the then UK PM Harold Wilson the particles in 1970 - a year after man first landed on the moon. They remain encased in a clear plastic sphere within No 10 Downing Street. The fragments had been brought back by Apollo 11, the first manned moon mission, and were mounted on a display stand alongside a silk union jack which had also travelled to the moon and back with astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin. 'Modern design' The files show a note from Wilson, who decided the dust should stay at No 10 \"in perpetuity\", and another from his successor Edward Heath, who was asked if he wanted it to stay in Downing Street to which he replied \"yes\". The pillared drawing room was suggested, in view of the stand's \"fairly modern design\", but Heath wrote: \"I will have a look. I don't much like the idea of it being in one of the public rooms\". In the event it was sent off on a tour of regional museums before ending up back at No 10. The truth, it seems, was that it did not look very attractive and it was not very exciting. In July 1979 - two months after her election - Mrs Thatcher was told the dust had been \"languishing in a cupboard\", the files show. She was asked if she thought it should go to the Geological Museum on semi-permanent loan. Napoleon's toothbrush \"Not yet,\" she wrote, and as a result one official suggested it could go outside the Cabinet Room. The moon dust issue raised its head again in 1984, when the it was mentioned to Mrs Thatcher during a visit to the Science Museum. The files suggest officials seem to have thought the museum was asking to have it permanently. Someone rang the museum's director - Dame Margaret Weston - to be told: thanks, but no thanks. The museum already had plenty of other moon rocks. Dame Margaret likened it to another curiosity in the museum's collection - a toothbrush once used by Napoleon. Last week the Downing Street press office confirmed the moon dust is still at No 10. But did not say where. In 2012 Nasa disclosed that many pieces of moon rock given away as gifts to other countries were now lost, stolen or missing or unaccounted for..",

And it will take time to sift through, and to draw conclusions about just what it changes in terms of public perceptions of a conflict that is already widely seen as grim and costly. The documents certainly raise new questions about the behaviour of the new Iraqi security forces, and about the US military's approach to dealing with them. There are truly grisly reports of torture of detainees, of attacks with acid and electric drills, of beatings, and mutilations. There is a report from as recently as December of US forces obtaining video footage of an execution of an Iraqi detainee. Many of the documents - certainly until more recently - involve an initial report, and then include the phrase \"no further investigation\". But the Pentagon has rejected the charge that it turned a blind eye. It insists that it has acted in accordance with international law, with reports being passed to superiors and, at the appropriate level, to the Iraqis. Unclear resonance As with the Afghanistan documents, these are by and large low-level reports from the field. As such, they raise as many questions as they answer. They certainly raise new questions about such issues as the level of casualties, the Pentagon's policy on counting them, and deaths at US checkpoints. The debate raged over whether the Afghanistan leaks offered a fundamentally different picture to the public than the one that had been presented officially up till then. Or did they just provide additional detail and ammunition to back up known issues and suspicions? That may well be the case here. There is, for example, new fuel for already well-established suspicions of Iranian support for the insurgency. But, in terms of reaction in the United States and elsewhere, to some extent public opinion has moved on. Afghanistan, not Iraq, is the concern of the moment. This leak will add to the uncertainties perhaps of what kind of country and what kind of legacy the US-led intervention has left up to now. Just what resonance it will have, though is unclear. The debate over the fact of the leaks, though, and its security implications or lack of them, has already been joined, as the Pentagon and the rest of the US government establishment was condemning the leaks even before they happened. And the fact that so much more of the documents have been censored, to hide individual identities and details, is unlikely to defuse the debate over what risks such leaks pose, as well as what service they offer.",

            "input": "By Mark LowenBBC News, Patras Piled on top of each other, they are, the authorities say, a classic place for immigrants to hide. One of the vehicles pulls up at Patras port. The customs officers spring into action, cutting holes in the cardboard boxes to check the fruit, clambering inside to prod and search and shining torches underneath. After a lengthy process, the truck is cleared to board the ferry. Patras is one of Greece's biggest ports - known as the gateway to the west. Ships here leave to Italy and the vehicles on board often travel further still. It is a smugglers' hub into Europe - one of the continent's most vulnerable borders. Suddenly there is a commotion in one corner. The guards have opened a vehicle containing gas canisters. And five men are found crammed inside. They sit, heads bowed. One says he is from Afghanistan. The driver is taken to be questioned by the prosecutor. As officers enter the vehicle one of the migrants falls to the floor, crying uncontrollably. A guard hands him water and tries to calm him. \"They will now be searched to see if they have relevant papers,\" says Evangelos Tasntzalos, the regional coastguard commander. \"Then they'll be ordered to leave the country - and while they're waiting they won't be allowed in Patras or in the other big port, Igoumenitsa.\" England-bound More than 1,500 illegal immigrants were caught in Patras last year; every vehicle carrying them was impounded. But while the port authorities are rigorous in their checks, plenty more migrants will attempt the journey. Over 80% of those entering the European Union now pass through Greece. The typical route is in through the north-eastern corner of the country, across the Evros river from Turkey. They continue through Athens and down to Patras, in limbo until they pick what they hope is the right time to leave. \"I'm scared I'll die at any time because it's so unsafe here,\" one Afghan says while cowering on a disused railway track. \"Nobody looks after us - there are no human rights in Greece. My dream is to go to England and I'll try every day to get there.\" The influx of new arrivals here has made immigration a hot social issue and a key theme in the upcoming election. In last month's inconclusive poll, the virulently anti-immigration Golden Dawn party swept into parliament for the first time in its history, promising to lay landmines along the border with Turkey. The party rejects the neo-Nazi label, but its leader has been filmed making Hitler salutes, and he recently denied that gas chambers were used in the Holocaust and said the figure of six million Jews killed was \"an exaggeration\". During a heated TV debate on Thursday a party spokesman hit a woman MP in the face, prompting a warrant for his arrest. Squalid labyrinth Last month, Golden Dawn members rounded on a derelict factory in Patras traditionally used by immigrants for shelter. They threw petrol bombs and set fire to parts of the building, clashing with riot police. The incident was sparked by the murder of a Greek man, allegedly by three Afghans. The victim's cousin, Thymios Koklis, says the attitude of Greeks towards uncontrolled immigration is hardening. \"We can't have so many immigrants - we don't even have jobs ourselves,\" he says. \"The migrants are in a way the victims of this whole story. But I would blame the government that doesn't do anything to protect Greeks from the hordes who come here. We're very scared of them - people say they would take the law into their own hands.\" Would he take the law into his own hands? \"If the state can't protect me, someone has to. Myself and my family,\" he says. Migrants now steer clear of the factory, leaving behind bits of soiled clothing and empty food packaging - the remnants of past lives strewn across the decaying floors. The building is a vast and squalid labyrinth - bits of Arabic graffiti are scrawled on the walls, shards of mangled concrete lie hanging and the place has a dank smell. There is even excrement in some corners. Charities working on the issue say Greece must do more to help the vulnerable - and wake up to the bubbling tension. \"I feel ashamed when I see how immigrants are treated,\" says Haralambos Tabakis from the immigration group Praksis. \"This is not the right way to deal with the issue. Greeks have been migrants for many years - we have left to Europe, the US, Australia: we would never have liked to be treated in this way. We know what migration is all about.\" As dusk falls, the hidden migrants of Patras come out to line the waterfront, gazing across the ocean to a new life. As they wait here, the immigration issue grows ever more volatile. They came to this troubled country with dreams of Europe. But Greece is sinking further into crisis and the mood here is darkening - on all sides.",

            "input": "By Tim WeberBusiness editor, BBC News website It's the first time that Apple's latest offering, the iPhone 4S, encounters a truly competitive field of rivals. The competition is powered by Apple's former partner Google, whose Android operating system for smartphones is rapidly gaining marketshare. Mobile phonemakers, long suffering under Apple's smartphone dominance, have embraced Android with gusto and are jostling to add software and hardware touches that trump Apple's offering. The iPhone rivals Samsung's Galaxy S II, for example, is already slimmer and lighter than both the old iPhone 4 and the new 4S and arguably has a better screen. Taiwanese competitor HTC, meanwhile, hopes that a clever user interface dubbed HTC Sense will help it to beat Apple. Instead of the iPhone's static icons, HTC has improved Android to offer a raft of rich, dynamic widgets that bring information and functionality directly to the smartphone screen. HTC's Sensation, for example, is currently hard to best in terms of ease of use, not just when compared to the new iPhone but Android rivals as well. For its top-end phones HTC also throws in a free service that allows owners to track and remotely manage their phones, probably one of the reasons why Apple recently stopped charging for a similar service. Android has even allowed Sony Ericsson to get back into the game. For several years the company and its lacklustre range of phones have been losing market share; now the company is back with the Android-based Xperia Arc S - a well-built and user-friendly phone that can compete with most rivals. Apple also lags in terms of hardware innovation, with several competitors pushing phones that sport 3D cameras and glasses-free 3D screens - like the Sharp 3D Aquos, the HTC Evo 3D and the LG Optimus 3D. Google is also constantly updating Android, and provides the software free to manufacturers. This is not charitable behaviour, of course. Google search is deeply integrated into Android phones, providing healthy profits from clicks on sponsored search results (although a few network operators have begun to point customers to different search engines). The rise of Android The rise and rise of Android is reflected in the market share. According to research firm Gartner, during the second quarter of 2011 Android captured a massive 43.4% of the global smartphone market - up from 17.2% just a year ago. In contrast, Apple's iPhone software iOS gained just four percentage points to 18.2% - mainly by entering 15 new countries and signing up 42 new network operators to sell the iPhone. The big losers are Nokia's Symbian smartphones, Blackberry maker RIM - and Microsoft who is struggling to gain traction for its new mobile operating system Windows Phone 7. Advantage Apple Despite Android's advances, Apple still dominates the \"mindshare\" of the smartphone market. This is less a function of the many Apple fans amongst tech journalists. It's more a question of first-mover advantage and, most importantly, branding. Dozens of manufacturers are now selling numerous Android phones, ranging from the cheap and cheerful to the high end of the market. Apple and its network partners can focus all marketing around a single brand and - now - two devices. No wonder that the iPhone is still seen by many as the benchmark against which other smartphones have to be measured - even though the new iPhone 4S has arguably failed to raise this benchmark in a significant manner. Some of the new features on the 4S have been standard on Android phones for many months. The lack of a big \"and one more thing\" unveiling by Apple's new chief executive will have been greeted with loud sighs of relief by rivals. Still, any move by Apple creates headaches for competitors. Internal documents of a mobile phone maker seen by the BBC last week showed how worried this company was that an iPhone 5 could steal all attention from the forthcoming launch of its top-end Android smartphone. Microsoft, meanwhile... Amidst all the Android and iPhone frenzy, spare a thought for Microsoft. A year ago and to considerable acclaim the software giant launched an all-new mobile phone software, Windows Phone 7. The operating system broke new ground in terms of usability, with a fresh look and many clever little features that neither Google's nor Apple's developers had thought of. Considering this was version one of the software, it was surprisingly polished. So far, Microsoft has had little commercial success in return for its efforts. But Microsoft hopes that it can still challenge both Android and iPhone. After ironing out a few software wrinkles it has just launched Windows Phone 7.5, also known as Mango. It's a compelling offering. The software delivers a deep integration with social networks like no other phone. Short messages exchanged with a friend - whether on SMS, Facebook or Twitter - will show up in one thread chronicling the conversation, regardless of which service was used. A contact stored on the phone shows not just address and phone number but the most recent Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn status updates too. And the diary is easier to use than any other. However, Microsoft's fresh assault on the smartphone market is slow out of the starting blocks. Mango was presented to the public many months ago. A few handset makers have announced a handful of new Windows phones. The first HTC phones running Mango are only now - slowly - arriving in the shops. Microsoft's new best friend, struggling Finnish phone company Nokia, won't launch its first Windows phone before 26 October, at Nokia World in London. Apple, in contrast, is set to bring the iPhone 4S to market in less than two weeks. The ecosystem As operating systems and mobile phone makers jostle for position (don't forget RIM's Blackberry, about to roll out a range of handsets with a new operating system) it may be neither clever software nor stunning hardware that decides who will win the smartphone war. The clincher will be the services connected to smartphones. Just as Google uses Android to lure people into their ecosystem, from email to media storage to YouTube videos to documents, Apple tries to lock in its customers into the world of iTunes and iCloud services. Surprisingly, it is Microsoft that is offering the most open mobile phone ecosystem right now. Consumers should be able to cherish this fierce competition. They may not get the chance. As iPhones, Androids and other devices rush to market, the patent lawyers of all sides are gearing up for epic court battles over patents and protected designs. Not all that we'll see presented on stage will reach consumers' hands.",

Irish police officers walked behind his coffin as it was carried into St Joseph's Redemptorist Church, Dundalk. A priest told mourners it was the only profession in the country \"where we ask people to dance a dance with satan\". Father Michael Cusack described the killers as \"people of evil intent\" who were \"prepared to entrap\". Family members brought gifts in memory of Adrian, including a photograph, a GAA jersey, a garda cap and a toy tractor. Politicians from both sides of the Irish border are attending the funeral, including NI Secretary Theresa Villiers, Justice Minister David Ford and Chief Constable Matt Baggott. Sinn Fein leader Gerry Adams, Irish President Michael D Higgins, (Irish prime minister) Taoiseach Enda Kenny and members of the Irish cabinet are also attending. Garda Commissioner Martin Callinan, who paid tribute to Adrian, said Irish police were committed to bringing the killers to justice. He said no words could express \"the great sense of loss and revulsion\" felt by everyone at the \"cold-blooded murder\". A number of businesses in Dundalk have closed as a mark of respect. The Irish League of Credit Unions has offered a reward of 50,000 euros (£42,791) for information which might lead to arrests or prosecutions. Earlier, Father Padraig Murphy, who is officiating at the funeral mass, said the killing had led to \"remarkable grief\" across Ireland. \"People are bewildered,\" he said. \"There is a mixture of emotion: they're disgusted, they're appalled, they really feel for the family and are willing to do anything they can to show solidarity with them.\" In Irish broadcaster RTE's Crimecall programme on Tuesday, it was revealed that the detective should have been in the studio that evening, instead he became the subject of the programme. Superintendent David Taylor told RTE that the murder was carried out in a \"most malicious and callous manner\". But he said there had been \"huge support\" from across Ireland. \"The PSNI's support and solidarity is of immense help to us,\" he added. Det Garda Donohoe was one of two detectives on escort duty when the robbery happened. It is believed that the raiders knew the credit union money was being escorted by police. Detectives said the gunman did not hesitate before shooting him in the head. His colleague, Det Garda Joe Ryan, was held at gunpoint while the gang stole 4,000 euros (£3,424) before making off. He remains deeply traumatised. It has also emerged that Garda Donohoe had not been due to be on duty last Friday night, but was filling in for a colleague. Irish detectives are examining CCTV footage taken from local businesses and the credit union. They believe that a burnt-out car, stolen a few days before the killing in the fishing village of Clogherhead in Louth, and found near Keady, County Armagh, on Sunday was used by the killers. It was found in Fews Forest, about 25 miles away from the shooting in County Louth. The PSNI are carrying out a forensic investigation of the car. In the RTE Crimecall programme, Supt Taylor said police particularly wanted to know about the whereabouts of the blue car between Tuesday night and Friday. They also want to know if anyone saw it being burned out. While Irish police have not ruled anything out at this stage, they suspect that a cross-border gang was involved in the robbery and murder, and that gang operates in the north Louth-south Armagh area. Shotguns They believe they are close to identifying five members of the gang involved. The same gang is suspected to have stolen 62,000 euros (£53,071) from the same credit union a year and a half ago, also using shotguns. Speaking in the Dail on Tuesday, Taoiseach Enda Kenny said no effort would be spared to bring the killers to court. \"Let me assure everyone here, everyone in his family and in the country that we will do everything possible to bring those who murdered Det Garda Donohoe to justice,\" he said. \"We cannot rest until we have done so.\" Sinn Féin leader Gerry Adams joined the tributes and appealed for anyone with information to contact either the PSNI or the Garda Siochana. He said Garda Donohoe's killing provoked memories of Det Jerry McCabe who was murdered by the IRA in 1996. He again apologised for that and said he was sorry for the pain caused to those who had served the state. More than 100 gardaí are involved in the investigation into the murder, with officers cancelling leave and coming in on their days off.",

The magistrate then made the order after lawyers representing the accused doctor requested the court to release their client if no evidence found against him. The police was ordered to inform the court of further course of action on 12 July. International media During the final phase of the war, the group of doctors treated casualties admitted to the makeshift health posts in the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE)-held zone encircled by government forces. They also gave interviews to international media about the situation. They became the only voice coming out of the rebel held areas during the last stages of the war. Two of them were senior local health directors and the United States has said they \"helped save many lives\" while the UN called them \"heroic\". In an interview with BBC World News television, Sri Lanka's then Foreign Minister Rohita Bogollagama accused the doctors of \"spreading falsehoods\". One of the four accused doctors, Dr. V Shanmugarajah, contested the 08 April parliamentary elections in a pro-government party. Dr V Shanmugarajah, believed to have been enlisted by the now-defeated Tamil Tigers into their medical team, gave high casualty figures to aid agencies and the media from within the combat zone. While in government custody, all five doctors who worked in Sri Lanka's combat zone in the last weeks of the war said they exaggerated figures for civilian casualties. They did so, they told reporters, because of pressure on them from the Tamil Tiger rebels, who controlled the area where they were working.",

            "input": "In that attack, gigabytes of files including emails and other documents that revealed the inner workings of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) were taken. Technical evidence has now come to light suggesting Guccifer 2.0 has links with Russia, compounding theories that the hack was state-sponsored. What's the evidence on both sides? Who is Guccifer 2.0? We do not know the identity of the real person behind this hacker alias. It is a pseudonym adopted by someone who claims responsibility for the recent hack attack on the DNC - the organisation that oversees the running of the US Democratic party. Whoever is behind Guccifer 2.0 is not thought to be connected to the original Guccifer, who is currently in a US jail awaiting sentencing on hacking and fraud charges. Guccifer 2.0 also claims to be Romanian and, via a blog, has said they have been working alone. Many people are sceptical about these claims and others made on that blog. So who was Guccifer 1.0? Guccifer was the alias adopted by Marcel Lehel Lazar who, from 2013 onwards, targeted high-profile Americans, many of them politicians, and sought to hack into their personal email and social media accounts. In January 2014, Lazar was arrested in Romania on hacking offences and was given a four-year jail term. In March 2016, he was extradited to the US to face trial on a variety of hacking and fraud charges. In May 2016, while in jail, he told Fox News that he had repeatedly broken into a private email server set up by Hillary Clinton that handled her electronic correspondence. Ms Clinton has denied the server was hacked and the US State Department said it could find no evidence supporting Lazar's claim. Lazar said the Guccifer name comes from simply combining the Italian fashion brand Gucci with the name the Bible gives to the devil, Lucifer, before he was cast out. Why are many sceptical about the identity of Guccifer 2.0? For three main reasons: Has Guccifer 2.0 responded to these claims? Yes. The person claiming to be the hacker has openly mocked the different analyses and repeated their assertion that they are Romanian and have no backing from the Russian state. However, in interviews with the media, Guccifer 2.0 did not seem to speak Romanian well. A closer look at their responses using linguistic analysis tools suggested they were using a sentence structure heavily influenced by Russian rather than Romanian which draws its roots from Latin in the same was as the French and English languages. Does this prove that Russia is involved? No. Attribution, the experts say, is always difficult. Translated, this means nobody knows who to blame. One of the first lessons that any competent hacker or hacktivist learns is how to cover their tracks and how to use proxies, encryption and other techniques to obscure who they are and from where they are operating. Could a 'lone wolf' hacker have done this? Yes. It is entirely possible that an individual broke into an organisation and stole a lot of information. It happens all the time. Tools to carry out hacks and videos educating people about how to use them are easy to find online. But as repeated breaches have shown, sometimes it does not take technical ability to get into a supposedly secure network - anyone stubborn enough to keep trying commonly used passwords might eventually succeed. However, the DNC hack does not share some of the characteristics of other hacktivist attacks. Politically motivated hackers tend to release documents as soon as they get hold of them because they want to embarrass the target. By contrast, state-sponsored hackers are much more likely to lurk inside a network for months and slowly steal data over time. Why would Russia do this if indeed it is behind the attacks? Russia and China are both well known for running large-scale cyber-espionage operations. Information taken in these attacks is often used to help diplomatic and commercial negotiations and to further their own ends.",

Aneurin Bevan health board said it was sorry she had these concerns. \"I didn't realise how much trouble I was in until I started collapsing,\" the 33-year-old told an S4C documentary. \"When I started the hormones, it started off fine at first, and I think it was about a month or so in when I had my first attack.\" At first, she thought she was having a panic attack, but when seizures followed, she realised it was not just anxiety: \"It struck me like a bolt of lightning.\" Ms Welsh said she was not made aware of the possible side effects and there was not enough support for people receiving hormone replacement therapy. \"I knew it wasn't going to be a walk in the park. The tipping point for me was when I did fall ill and started reaching out, there was nothing there.\" As a child growing up, Ms Welsh said she kept her feelings about her gender secret for years. \"I'd never heard of transgender - I didn't know people like myself existed. By the time I got into my late teens, I started hearing little bits and was like 'oh God - that's me'.\" After coming out to her family, she decided it was time to take the next step and was ready to undergo hormone replacement therapy. \"I had a few hiccups - my health started deteriorating - a loss of energy, severe headaches but I just thought it was part of the process. \"I thought you know, it's quite invasive treatment I thought, you'd expect some sort of side effects,\" she said. After becoming ill, Ms Welsh's treatment had to be delayed before she was eventually transferred to London's Tavistock and Portland Hospital.

And she predicted next year's council elections would see it deliver its best result since devolution. Ms Davidson also urged Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon to rule out a second independence referendum. She told delegates on the final day of the conference: \"The majority have no wish to return to the divisions of the past - we want to seize the opportunities of the future. \"Most Scots have had enough. And they are telling her - for pity's sake, first minister, let this go.\" The Scottish Conservatives are currently the second largest party at Holyrood, behind the SNP, after overtaking Labour for the first time since the Scottish Parliament was created in 1999. But the Tories only have one MP in Scotland, while the SNP returned 56 in last year's general election. Ms Davidson said her party was \"standing up to the SNP\" and providing the \"strong opposition Scotland so desperately needs\". She added: \"From the Borders to Banff, we are showing that there is another way. A better way. \"One which seeks not to stoke divisions or split our country, but one which knuckles down and gets on with the job.\" Ms Sturgeon, the SNP leader and Scottish first minister, said a second independence referendum was \"highly likely\" after Scotland voted to remain in the EU but the UK as a whole voted to leave. She has instructed Scottish government officials to start drawing up plans for a new vote, and recently launched a \"new conversation\" aimed at boosting support for independence. But recent opinion polls have suggested there has not been a large shift in favour of independence since the Brexit vote, with a narrow majority still apparently in favour of Scotland remaining in the UK. 'Picking a fight' Ms Davidson urged the Conservative conference not to believe SNP assertions that Scottish independence was now inevitable, and pledged to \"fight every inch\" to keep the UK together. She said: \"Every nation is bigger than any one party - bigger than any one person. \"So next time you see Nicola Sturgeon picking a fight, or trying to claim the United Kingdom is over, remember, she does not speak for the country. \"And, when she threatens to put yet another divisive referendum back on the table, the nation is not behind her. She's not speaking for the majority. Because the majority of us want to move on.\" She used her speech to hold up Theresa May as evidence that \"gender is no barrier to advancement\" in Britain.

Mrs May told the gathering that \"we are one UK - England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland\".

            "input": "By Roger HarrabinEnvironment analyst Its new report says more national temperature records were reported broken than in previous decades. There was an increase in deaths from heatwaves over that decade. This was particularly pronounced during the extreme summers in Europe in 2003 and in the Russian Federation during 2010. But despite the decade being the second wettest since 1901 (with 2010 the wettest year recorded) fewer people died from floods than in the previous decade. Better warning systems and increased preparedness take much of the credit for the reduced deaths. The WMO says smarter climate information will be needed as the climate continues to change. Its report, The Global Climate 2001-2010, A Decade of Climate Extremes, analysed global and regional trends, as well as extreme events such as Hurricane Katrina, floods in Pakistan and droughts in the Amazon, Australia and East Africa. The decade was the warmest for both hemispheres and for both land and ocean surface temperatures. The record warmth was accompanied by a rapid decline in Arctic sea ice, and accelerating loss of mass from the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets and from glaciers. Global mean sea levels rose about 3mm per year - about double the observed 20th century trend of 1.6mm per year. Global sea level averaged over the decade was about 20cm higher than in 1880. The report notes that the high temperatures in the decade were achieved without a strong episode of the El Nino current which typically warms the world. It says that a strong El Nino episode would probably have driven temperatures even higher. Although overall temperature rise has slowed down since the 1990s, the WMO says temperatures are still rising because of greenhouse gases from human society. The WMO Secretary-General Michel Jarraud said: “Natural climate variability, caused in part by interactions between our atmosphere and oceans means that some years are cooler than others. On an annual basis, the global temperature curve is not a smooth one. On a long-term basis the underlying trend is clearly in an upward direction, more so in recent times.” But climate change doubters emphasise the lack of movement in temperatures throughout the decade. Judah Cohen, director of seasonal forecasting at Atmospheric and Environmental Research (AER), told BBC News that the issue hinged on the time frame. “For longer periods (two decades or longer) we found a robust and a statistically significant warming trend,” he said. For shorter periods - a decade or less - there is no longer a significant temperature trend of either sign, consistent with the reports of a recent 'plateauing' of global temperatures.” Even so, many climate scientists are alarmed by the consistently high temperatures during the decade. Every year of the decade except 2008 was among the 10 warmest on record. The warmest year ever recorded was 2010, with a temperature estimated at 0.54C above the 14.0C long-term average of 1961-1990 base period, followed closely by 2005. Greenland recorded the largest decadal temperature anomaly, +1.71C above the long-term average and with a temperature in 2010 of +3.2C above average. Africa experienced warmer than normal conditions in every year of the decade. Results from WMO’s survey showed that nearly 94% of reporting countries had their warmest decade in 2001-2010. No country reported a nationwide average decadal temperature cooler than the long term average. Scientists say there may be a connection between increasing global temperatures and extreme weather. The WMO says so far there's no conclusive evidence of a link to any single weather event, except perhaps in the case of the European heatwaves of 2003. But this field of research is very active. Prof Myles Allen from the University of Oxford told BBC News: \"We predicted the temperature of this decade using a conventional detection and attribution analysis and data to 1996 (when lots of people were arguing there wasn't even a discernible human influence on global climate), and nailed it to within a couple of hundredths of a degree. \"There were plenty of solar enthusiasts back in the 1990s who were attributing the observed warming since the 1970s to a brightening sun - which didn't really work out when we moved into an extreme solar minimum and still saw the warmest decade on record. He added: \"It's only a single data point (and no-one predicted the shorter-timescale lack-of-trend we have seen since 2000) but it's still worth noting. Let's see what the next decade will bring.\" Follow Roger on Twitter @rharrabin",

Other artists taking part include Grayson Perry, Cornelia Parker, Jenny Saville, David Shrigley and Douglas Gordon as well as The Chapman Brothers and Sir Peter Blake, with seven Turner prize winners among them. Each artist was sent a piece of material specifically chosen for them with a note telling them what it was, where it was from and explaining the concept of the auction. Perry, who has made an urn featuring the words \"Art is dead. Long live Art\", said: \"It's a tragedy. It's the most famous art school building in Britain. \"It's also the masterpiece of Mackintosh.

The work will be on display at Christie's in London's King Street from 3-7 March and will be auctioned during the Post-War and Contemporary Art Day Sale on 8 March. Each of the pieces, covering a range of practices including sculpture, photography, drawing and painting, has been created using remains from the fire, from charred timbers and debris to books and furniture.

Thick cloud hides the spires of Mount Kenya and as darkness falls, the temperature plummets. I'm lying in wet grass with three heavily armed Kenyans. One hundred metres ahead stand three white rhinos. They're oblivious to our presence, and from here, with three shots, my companions could earn themselves a year's salary each. But they won't. They're part of an SAS-trained private army raised to protect the species from poachers. I ask the sergeant what he would do if he spotted one of his friends or neighbours up to no good. His reply is unequivocal. \"If he comes to kill rhinos he is robbing the entire community. And I will shoot him dead.\" There used to be 200,000 of the myopic beasts here in Kenya. That number collapsed to around 200 in the mid-80s, but with the establishment of sanctuaries, the population has recovered to around 600. Find out more The Lewa and Borana conservancies - 375 sq km (145 sq miles) of windswept former cattle country - form one of those sanctuaries. Vulnerable rhinos, both white and black, were relocated here from 1984 onwards, but then the poachers found them. \"We lost 17 from a population of 90,\" says Borana's Michael Dyer. \"We were outgunned and outwitted, so we had to up our game.\" Dyer recruited a former Special Forces instructor from the British army to train a hand-picked militia of local men, then gave them to right to use lethal force by enrolling them as Kenya police reservists. \"They operate in four-man teams comprising a sniper, two riflemen, and a signaller,\" says Dyer. \"They've got night vision gear and digital radios so if they need to, they can call in ground and air support.\" The teams monitor 102 rhinos, but when they spot poachers, they don't arrest them. They don't even invite them to lay down their arms. Instead, they kill them - 19 so far, in split-second ambushes during which their victims probably never knew what hit them. Dyer says this is the safest way to deal with men facing 25 years in prison if convicted. \"Technically we do have to offer them the opportunity to surrender,\" he adds, \"but this tends to happen after they've been, er, incapacitated.\" And it works. The poachers, who can earn $21,000 (£15,000) for a 9kg (20lb) horn worth $570,000 (£400,000) in Hanoi, haven't given up, but last year not a single rhino was poached on the Lewa conservancy. Borana lost just one, shot in July. But doesn't the use of a private army, raised by rich white men to shoot poachers on sight, raise worrying questions of legality and ethics? Dyer dismisses the question. \"The rhinoceros has been on this planet for five million years,\" he says. \"If we don't protect it, then who will?\" The local community, which benefits from tourism, seems to agree. \"Poachers are bad people,\" says one herder. \"Sometimes we see them in town. Poor men who are suddenly rich. They cannot spend that money here. We will force them to leave.\" Despite pleas from celebrities and royalty, the appetite for horn - a status symbol believed to cure everything from hangovers to cancer - is growing. Every rhino in Lewa and Borana is a potential target, and that means each animal needs round-the-clock protection. As Dyer puts it, \"trying to keep rhinos alive only loses you money.\" Out in the bush, the sergeant gives a hand signal and we withdraw - three silent killers and one clumsy journalist. \"Even with you, the rhinos did not know we were there,\" whispers the corporal. \"Now you see how easy it is for the poachers.\" Boda bodas - the cheap motorcycles imported from China - have made it even easier. Getaway drivers use them to ferry gangs into the bush, where cached weapons are retrieved for the hunt. Once the animal is down the poachers close in, hacking, sawing and gouging the horn from its socket. A recent trend has been to leave a flap of facial skin attached to the horn. To the connoisseurs of Hanoi and Beijing, it proves terroir and vintage - the equivalent of the label on a fine bottle of wine The team is still upset about that rhino killed last July. \"We heard the shot,\" says the sergeant, \"but we didn't know what direction it came from. By the time we found the carcass, the poachers had gone.\" Next time, there may be no shot. \"The poachers are learning,\" says the rifleman. \"Now they are using bows and poison arrows.\" I suggest that this might make them easier to arrest, but the sergeant shakes his head. \"We will still kill them,\" he says.

It was only after receiving a message that someone knew and might share her story \"in the wrong way\", that she decided to speak. In her only interview about it since, the 18-year-old tells Radio 1 Newsbeat she's grateful for the positive response. \"It was really difficult for me, because I didn't know what to expect. And I was afraid that people were going to look at me differently.\" \"I wasn't prepared for it, you never can be. It was hard but I feel like I handled it in the best way I could.\" In the TikTok video, Loren wrote she was assaulted in a basement belonging to somebody she trusted. \"I struggled to put the pieces together as to why this had happened to me. I felt dirty, hopeless, broken, and worthless,\" the American added on the video. Loren didn't tell anyone, including her parents, that she was planning on sharing publicly what happened to her. \"I just went for it because at the end of the day, it's my story. So it's on me when I share. \"But my parents were really proud,\" she adds. Loren says she hasn't reported what happened to the authorities. \"I didn't because at the time, it wasn't right for my healing process.\" But she knows reporting \"can help and be right for other people\". Circumstances were different for her because her parents \"had never dealt with anything\" like that so they \"were really unsure about what to do\". \"By the time I told anyone, it had already been a couple of months. I just wanted to move forward.\" 'It's not your fault, talking can help' Loren has more than 60 million followers across her social media pages. Since sharing, she says many of her fans have told their own stories of being sexually assaulted. It shows \"you never really know what's going on in someone's life\". \"But I'm glad I could help people share their own stories, because it's something that happens to a lot of people.\" Information and support If you need support with any of the issues raised in this article, these organisations may be able to help. According to the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network, 15% of sexual assault victims in the US are aged between 12 and 17. Initially, Loren blamed herself for the assault. She says there are always questions inside about what could have happened instead. \"You ask 'What if I did this differently, or what would have happened if I did something else?'\" \"It's a natural feeling. But it takes a lot of learning and realisation to realise it's not your fault and talking to people really helps.\" Having other people hear what she was going through helped ease some of those feelings. \"Even though it's really difficult for people to understand, for me, talking to my parents was really hard, but in the end was like therapy.\" 'Making videos separated the two worlds' The other thing which helped Loren was making videos, which she started doing a few months after the incident to pass time when being home schooled. \"I feel making videos separated the two worlds, especially once I started gaining a following. \"It helped me separate what I was feeling and the life that I could have.\" She credits her fans for helping her get through a tough time. \"They didn't know what had happened, so they were just there to support me in what I was doing and what I'm passionate about, which is making videos.\" The most important thing for Loren was to not let what happened control her future. \"I know that especially at the time, it feels really life defining.\" \"You'll look at yourself differently, even thinking other people are looking at you differently, even when they aren't,\" she adds. \"But it's important to know that's not always the case. There's always a light at the end of the tunnel.\" Follow Newsbeat on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. Listen to Newsbeat live at 12:45 and 17:45 weekdays - or listen back here.",

But Mr Keïta was facing huge street protests before his arrest and many in Mali have welcomed his removal. Thousands gathered in Bamako's Independence Square to the sound of vuvuzelas, with many declaring victory over the former president. \"I am overjoyed, we won. We came here to thank all the people of Mali because it is the victory of the people,\" Mariam Cissé, an opposition supporter, told the AFP news agency. \"IBK has failed,\" said retired soldier Ousmane Diallo, using a common reference to the ousted president by his initials. \"The people are victorious.\" However, he cautioned, \"the military should not be thinking now that they can stay in power\". West African leaders have called for Mr Keïta to be reinstated and the UN says all those detained should be freed. But coup leaders say they are talking to opposition parties about appointing a transitional president, who could be civilian or military. Mali has several jihadi groups in its northern deserts and there are fears they could take advantage of the coup. They did so following the previous military takeover in 2012. The coup leaders have promised to respect international agreements on fighting jihadists. Thousands of French, African and UN troops are based in the country to tackle the militants. In another development, an opposition leader kidnapped by militants in March ahead of disputed elections has written letters to his family, says the International Committee of the Red Cross. This is the first contact they have had since Soumaïla Cissé was seized in a case that shocked the country, reports the AFP news agency. Mr Keïta won a second term in elections in 2018, but since June has faced huge street protests over corruption, mismanagement of the economy and disputed legislative elections. There has also been anger among troops about pay and the conflict with jihadists, which has seen scores of soldiers killed in the past year. Where is Mr Keïta now? The United Nations mission in Mali says its human rights team has visited him, and other officials detained by the leaders of this week's coup. It says they are still being held at the Kati military camp outside the capital Bamako, where the coup began, but gave no further details. The military says two detainees have been released - the finance minister and the former president's private secretary - but that 17 prisoners are still being held. Who are the coup leaders? Col Assimi Goita, 37, has presented himself as leader of the new military junta, which is calling itself the National Committee for the Salvation of the People (CNSP). Col Goita was the head of Mali's special forces and led the operations against the 2015 jihadist attack on the Radisson Blu hotel in Bamako. He has reportedly received military training from France, Germany and the US, and took part in the UN peacekeeping mission in Sudan's Darfur region. Other members of the junta include Col Malick Diaw, CNSP vice-president, and Col Wagué, the air force deputy chief of staff. What does the opposition say? One of the parties in the M5 opposition coalition, CMAS, said it would support the coup leader in \"developing a roadmap\" towards new elections and called for the rallies on Friday \"to celebrate the Malian people's victory\". After meeting the coup leaders, the head of Mali's opposition M5 movement, conservative Imam Mahmoud Dicko, announced he would be withdrawing from politics. No reasons were given. Mr Dicko was one of the key figures in the huge street protests calling for Mr Keïta to resign.",

            "input": "By Lucy WilliamsonBBC Paris correspondent The Council (CFCM), which represents nine separate Muslim associations, has reportedly been asked to include in the text recognition of France's republican values, rejection of Islam as a political movement and a ban on foreign influence. \"We do not all agree on what this charter of values is, and what it will contain,\" said Chems-Eddine Hafiz, vice-president of the CFCM and Rector of the Paris Grand Mosque. But, he said, \"we are at a historic turning point for Islam in France [and] we Muslims are facing our responsibilities\". Eight years ago, he said, he thought very differently. The Islamist Mohamed Merah had just carried out attacks in Toulouse. \"[Former French] President Sarkozy got me out of bed at 5am to talk about it,\" he remembers. \"I told him: 'His name may be Mohamed, but he's a criminal!' I didn't want to make the connection between that crime and my religion. Today, I do. The imams of France have work to do.\" The plan is for the CFCM to create a register of imams in France, each of whom would sign up to the Charter, in return for accreditation. President Macron spoke in October about putting \"immense pressure\" on Muslim authorities. But this is difficult territory in a country that cherishes state secularism. Mr Macron is trying to stop the spread of political Islam, without being seen as interfering in religious practice, or singling out one particular faith. Integrating all groups of Muslims into French society has become a pressing political issue in recent years. France has an estimated five million Muslims - Europe's largest Muslim minority. Olivier Roy, an expert in French Islam, says the Charter raises two problems. One is discrimination because it targets only Muslim preachers, and the other is the right to freedom of religion. \"You are obliged to accept the laws of the state,\" he told me, \"but you are not required to celebrate its values. You cannot discriminate against LGBT, for example, but the Catholic Church is not obliged to accept same-sex marriage.\" Fashion designer Iman Mestaoui receives regular abuse from those she calls the \"haters\" - hardline Islamists who say her brand of scarves and turbans does not always cover a woman's hair enough. But, she says, the idea of getting imams to sign up to \"French values\" is a problem, when Muslims are already seen by many as not fully French. \"It's putting us in a strange place where you have to show people that you subscribe to the republican values; where you feel French, but they don't feel you are,\" she explained. \"We feel like nothing we do - pay taxes, do [national service] - will be enough. You have to prove that you're really French: you have to eat pork; drink wine; not wear hijab, wear miniskirts. And it's ridiculous.\" 'Extremist time-bombs' But Hassen Chalghoumi, imam of the Drancy mosque on the outskirts of Paris, says that after years of terrorist attacks, the government has been forced to act. Mr Chalghoumi is now in hiding, following a spike in death threats over his reformist views. \"We have to go the extra mile, to show that we are well-integrated, that we respect the law,\" he told me. \"This is the price we have to pay because of the extremists.\" Outside the Paris Grand Mosque, Charki Dennai arrives for prayers, his rolled-up mat and Koran tucked under his arm. \"These young [extremist] people are time bombs,\" he says. \"I think the imams are a bit too nice to them. We can respect French law and also Islam, it's feasible. That's what I do.\" But there are questions over how much influence imams have among younger Muslims, especially when it comes to extremist violence. \"It won't work,\" says Olivier Roy, \"for a very simple reason: the terrorists don't come from Salafi mosques. If you take the biographies of terrorists, none of them is a product of Salafi preaching.\" Salafism is a hardline, ultra-conservative movement identified with political Islam. Tackling alienated youth The charter is one part of a wider government strategy to curb foreign influence, prevent violence and threats from extremists, and win back young people who feel forgotten by the state. Mr Macron has proposed more Arabic-language teaching in state schools and more investment in run-down areas, and has emphasised that he is targeting Islamists who reject France's laws and values, not Muslims as a whole. Hakim El-Karoui is a specialist in French Islamist movements at the Institut Montaigne who regularly contributes to government thinking. \"I'm a real fan of the strategy,\" he told me. \"It's comprehensive. It's cultural, and also about organisation and funding.\" But, he says, Muslims themselves should be included by the government in projects like this, \"because they can do a lot in terms of spreading the enlightened version of Islam on social networks - the government is not able to\". And without the buy-in of \"grassroots Muslims\", says Olivier Roy, the new Charter will be hard to enforce. \"Let's suppose that the local Muslim community decides to ignore the CFCM and appoints its own imam,\" he told me. \"What will the government do? Either we change the constitution and give up the concept of freedom of religion [or] the government cannot impose certified imams on local Muslim communities.\" In a Paris studio, shooting pictures for her new catalogue, Iman Mestaoui tells me she made her whole family vote for President Macron in 2017. Since then, she has noticed a \"huge shift\" to the right on issues like immigration and security. \"I was pro-Macron,\" she said. \"He was a real hope in our community, but we feel like we've been abandoned.\"",

Teesside has seen some of the country's highest infection rates of Covid-19. The comments were backed by Craig Blundred, director of public health for Hartlepool which was named second highest in England for infections on Tuesday. \"It's a tricky situation but I think we do need to look at the situation with social distancing and ensure we maintain that over the Christmas period to bring the numbers down,\" he said. It came as ministers are looking at how to relax restrictions to allow families to celebrate together. In the seven days to 15 November, Middlesbrough reported 622 new cases, with an infection rate of 441.2 per 100,000 people, according to government figures. Neighbouring Redcar and Cleveland is currently in the top 20 council areas across England, with 664 new cases and an infection rate of 484.1 over the same time. James Cook University Hospital is treating 133 Covid patients, with 18 currently in intensive care, after patient numbers doubled in the last three weeks. At the nearby University Hospital of North Tees in Stockton, they have more than twice the number of coronavirus patients than during the first wave, up from 78 to 159. 'Uncontrollable flood' Mr Adams said rates were \"too high\" in both areas but appeared to be plateauing or dropping, although not particularly fast. He said the Christmas period could drive infection rates even higher, at the same time as hospitals are facing additional winter pressures. \"I read recently an idea about bumping Christmas to June or July and having Christmas Day then, and I think that sounds like an eminently sensible thing to do,\" he added. \"We certainly can't have a Christmas like we are used to having, and I appreciate that is difficult for people and distressing for people, but the consequences of forgetting everything that has happened since March and trying to have a normal Christmas as possible are that the NHS does get overrun and we have significant harm and illness, and ultimately deaths for a large number of people.\" Chris Hopson, the head of NHS Providers which represents trusts, said the lockdown should only be lifted if it is clear the spread of Covid-19 has been brought under control. He warned that even a limited relaxation risked an \"uncontrollable flood\" of cases that could mean hospitals run into severe difficulty treating emergency patients at the busiest time of year. \"Trust leaders are doing everything they can to maximise capacity but the real risk of an overwhelmed NHS remains,\" he said. Meanwhile, Mary Lanigan, the leader of Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council, urged residents to stick to the rules for the \"best chance\" of avoiding further severe restrictions post-lockdown. \"It is understandable that people are getting weary, but keeping your distance, washing your hands regularly, avoiding contact with other households and wearing a face covering when required really does make a difference,\" she said.

About 150 jobs were lost at its Shotts HQ last year and staff have been pursuing legal action to recover wages. Lawyers acting for the workers believe they could be owed more than £1m. The liquidators are now seeking access to the company's books and records. HES had managed all of Scotland's clinical waste disposal before it was embroiled in a waste stockpiling scandal. Following the loss of the contracts, contingency measures had to be put in place across the whole of NHS Scotland. Company owner Garry Pettigrew had previously refused to put the company into administration and insisted he was not liable for the wages of former staff. Food banks David Martyn, of Thompsons Solicitors who have been acting on behalf of some former employees, said the latest move was a \"starting point\" towards getting the money they are owed. He told the BBC's Good Morning Scotland programme: \"Normally what happens when a company goes into administration is the employees can get their notice pay, any unpaid wages, holiday pay and things like that, from the government Insolvency Service. \"Of course, when the company doesn't got into administration, this puts the employees in a terrible situation. \"They have now had four or five months where they have not had their last month's wages and the notice periods they are entitled to. \"We have had terrible stories of people having to rely on food banks just to see them through.\" Mr Martin added: \"We estimate that payments of over £1m are owed to these workers. Obviously that is a huge boost to the workers. \"We call on Mr Pettigrew to allow access to the books and the records, and that will allow these payments to be expedited. \"It will still be a couple of weeks before the applications will be made, but this is certainly the starting point in the workers finally getting the money they are owed.\" James Stephen, a Glasgow-based partner at BDO, said HES had gone into liquidation at the request of one of its creditors. The petition was granted at Hamilton Sheriff Court on Thursday and was not opposed. Mr Stephen said: \"BDO have been appointed as liquidators by the court. We are now assessing the company's asset base. \"We will be working with all the relevant government agencies to make sure any health and safety issues at the site are taken into account. We'll be heavily involved in taking guidance from them.\" Hazardous waste A statement from HES said it was \"very sad to announce that we believe the company was placed into administration\". The firm said the ongoing medical waste crisis \"has been caused by a severe lack of high-temperature incineration capacity in the UK combined with more waste being sent for incineration by the NHS\". The statement added: \"The directors would like to thank our true loyal staff, friends, colleagues, suppliers, & loyal customers for 22 years, they know who they are.\" The HES staff were made redundant after the company was caught up in a UK-wide waste stockpiling scandal. Healthcare Environmental Services (HES) inspectors found a string of environmental breaches at its Dundee and Shotts sites. They said both were failing to comply with enforcement notices over the proper storage of waste. The Scottish Environment Protection Agency (Sepa) confirmed it had been in contact with the liquidators, \"to whom environmental obligations under the environmental licences for both sites now fall\". A spokesman said: \"All contingency measures will ensure that environmental and human health are appropriately protected and, to date, our inspections have not identified any current risk of pollution from the waste stored on these sites.\"",

The stone was brought back to Scotland in 1996 and is currently displayed at Edinburgh Castle. The decision to move it to Perth was announced by First Minister Nicola Sturgeon, who is one of the four commissioners for the safeguarding of the regalia who advise the Queen about all matters relating to the stone.

Council leader Murray Lyle said he was \"hugely-proud and excited\" at the decision, which he described as a \"game-changer\" for the area.

Fourteen years after 9/11, I remember the silence of the New York bar I went to in the evening after the attacks more than the events of the day itself. And now it's the smell of incense in my clothes which lingers and which I find hopeful. The aroma of worship at the shrine in Bangkok means normal life is insistent on returning. Ordinary people very quickly sought peace at a place ripped apart by violence. And the image of a small patch of freshly-laid concrete, its moistness, glistening in the fierce morning light. It says much about a determination to recover the routine of normal life. The bomb exploded at seven in the evening on Monday and by Wednesday morning the indentation had been concreted over with great determination. It's true this resumption of daily life, where worshippers bow and kneel before the statue of the Hindu god of creation, Lord Brahma, has been punctuated by swirls of officialdom, ambassadors and politicians sweeping through with their entourage of helpers and photographers. But routines have resumed. It didn't take long for the sellers and hawkers to return. And the routine of normal life in our modern times involves the selfie. It's hard to know exactly what ritual is played out when we stand in front of a scene of tragedy and take a picture of ourselves. There is a debate among some Jewish groups, for example, about taking selfies at the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp, of all places - some say it's an act of utter insensitivity and others that at least these selfie-takers have visited the place and may reflect on its horrors. In Bangkok, I watched a few people at the shrine angling themselves so that the scene of mass-murder would appear in the shot behind them. There is a global tourism industry and I suppose that participating in its rituals doesn't mean that your brain or your heart has switched off. And who are we as journalists with our cameras to condemn citizens with their cameras? A quarter of a century ago, a few months after the fall of communism in Eastern Europe, I took trains round Poland and Czechoslovakia, and ended up on the site of the death camp at Birkenau. It was deserted and bitterly cold. The ice was packed solid underfoot, and I still remember the small detail of the crunch and the coldness and a rose-red wintery sun of an early dusk in a milky sky. My friend and I were alone on this expanse with only the outlines of the huts in which the doomed existed. And then, a taxi pulled up, and out jumped two tourists. While the car waited, they each took a picture of the other in front of the railway line which brought about a million people to their murder. Then they got back into the car and drove off. That was it. It would be nice to think these picture-taking visitors to a site of horror later used their portraits to reflect on the enormity of what had happened there, but I'm not convinced they did. Technology, of course, has moved on. Where we used to take pictures of each other, now we don't even need that extra pair of hands. The selfie in front of a scene of tragedy no longer demands two people - that's why it's called a selfie. But better technology doesn't necessarily bring greater insight. We now see the very moment of murder through CCTV cameras, the moment the bomber placed the bomb. We see the moment of evil but we are no closer to seeing inside the mind of the evil-doer. For me, the image which lingers is not that grainy footage of a bomber, but the fresh concrete covering up his deeds - fresh-hopeful concrete asserting the will to return to the routine of normal life. The difficulty is that concrete only covers material damage. It can't cover up the pain of the bereaved and injured. How to listen to From Our Own Correspondent: BBC Radio 4: Saturdays at 11:30.

In his complaint, Althouse listed 118 alleged similarities between the works. But the judge ruled they were \"too general for copyright protection... or are commonly used, unoriginal ideas\". Released in 1999, The Matrix tells of a computer hacker, played by Keanu Reeves, who discovers the world he lives in is a computer simulation created by machines. Directed by Andy and Larry (now Lana) Wachowski, the film was followed by two sequels - The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions - which were shot back-to-back and released in 2003. Althouse alleged their plots were inspired by his screenplay, in which a CIA agent tries to stop a cryogenically reanimated Adolf Hitler destroying non-immortals in the year 2235. Yet Judge Klausner ruled \"the only similarity in plot [was] that both stories portray a protagonist attempting to prevent a dominant group from oppressing and annihilating a subservient group\". \"The basic premises of The Matrix Trilogy and The Immortals are so different that it would be unreasonable to find their plots substantially similar,\" his ruling continued. \"Examining the protectable details in the two works, no jury could reasonably conclude that The Immortals has substantially similar expressions of ideas to The Matrix Trilogy.\" Since making the Matrix films, the Wachowski siblings have co-directed films including Speed Racer, Cloud Atlas and Jupiter Ascending - due to be released this summer.",

            "input": "By Gaetan PortalBBC News Automatic Facial Recognition uses CCTV or surveillance cameras to record and compare facial characteristics with images on police databases. Lawyers for Big Brother Watch argue the use of AFR breaches the rights of individuals under the Human Rights Act. The Metropolitan Police says the technology will help keep London safe. The system is being piloted in London, with three other forces - Humberside, South Wales, and Leicestershire - also trialling the technology. 'Very intrusive' However, it has proved controversial, with one watchdog describing its use in public places as \"very intrusive\". Court documents, seen by the BBC, also claim the Home Office has failed in its duty to properly regulate AFR's use. Manufacturers of the systems say they can monitor multiple cameras in real time \"matching\" thousands of faces a minute with images already held by the police - often mugshots taken of suspects who have been taken into custody. However, Big Brother Watch says the Met's own research, published in May, shows that during trials only two genuine matches were made out of 104 system \"alerts\". The group also takes issue with the length of time the images gathered by AFR are held. The Met piloted the system at Notting Hill Carnival in 2016 and 2017, at the Cenotaph on Memorial Sunday, and at Westfield Shopping Centre in Stratford last month. Further trials are planned. The force says the technology is \"an extremely valuable tool\". Meanwhile, in South Wales, police used AFR at least 18 times between May 2017 and March 2018, according to court documents. Cameras in Cardiff city centre and at a demonstration at an \"arms fair\" were used to gather the images of members of the public. As of April this year AFR generated 2,451 alerts with only 234 proving accurate. Police officers stopped 31 people who had been incorrectly identified and asked them to prove their identity. 'Ethical scrutiny' Lawyers for Big Brother Watch argue the use of AFR breaches the rights of individuals under the Human Rights Act, including the right to privacy and freedom of expression. Silkie Carlo, director of the civil liberties group, said: \"When the police use facial recognition surveillance they subject thousands of people in the area to highly sensitive identity checks without consent.\" \"We're hoping the court will intervene, so the lawless use of facial recognition can be stopped. It is crucial our public freedoms are protected,\" she added. However, it is likely that the Met and other police forces will welcome the opportunity to argue the case for AFR - and begin to put it on a solid legal footing alongside other unique characteristics stored on databases, such as fingerprints and DNA. It comes after the body that advises London Mayor Sadiq Khan on policing and ethics last week called on the Met to be more open about the use of AFR - and to set out where and when it will be used before undertaking any further pilots. Dr Suzanne Shale, who chairs the London Policing Ethics Panel said: \"We have made a series of key recommendations, which we think should be addressed before any further trials are carried out. \"We believe it is important facial recognition technology remains the subject of ethical scrutiny.\"",

Friday's strike began at 18:30 GMT and ended at 23:00. A further strike is planned on Monday morning. The UK government has described the action as \"completely unnecessary\". Members of the Fire Brigades Union (FBU) took part in the strike, which was announced last week, at the start of what was expected to be a traditionally busy weekend ahead of Bonfire Night. In north Wales, Chief Fire Officer Simon Smith said a \"high\" number of officers had taken part in the strike, which had \"resulted in a notable reduction\" of resources. He said the service was unable to provide it usual level of response to incidents but had seen a lighter than expected number of calls for a Friday night. He said: \"\"The service attended a serious road traffic collision a short while before the strike action started and I would like to commend our staff for continuing to deal with the incident into the strike period in such a professional manner. In south Wales, the effect of the strike on the area's fire service was similar, according Assistant Chief Fire Officer Rod Hammerton, and resources were targeted at the most critical calls, he said. He added: \"I would like to take this opportunity to note the professionalism of our operational staff - understandably emotions can run high at times such as these but I am pleased to say that their behaviour has been measured throughout.\" Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service said it operated \"at around 85% availability\" during the FBU action and attended a number of incidents including a crash on the M4 westbound at Baglan, Neath Port Talbot, during the evening rush hour but just before the strike began. The latest action came after a four-hour stoppage last month, followed by an abandoned strike when an agreement to the two-year dispute was anticipated. 'Fitness principles' The union wants assurances about terms of employment in view of government plans to raise the retirement age for firefighters from 55 to 60. The FBU says it fears firefighters will be made redundant if they fail fitness tests and are unable to find other work in the fire service. But the UK government says firefighters have been offered similar fitness principles to those the FBU accepted in Scotland and its proposals offer them one of the most generous pension schemes in the public sector. Fire Minister Brandon Lewis said: \"This strike action by the FBU is completely unnecessary and does nothing but damage the good reputation firefighters have with the public.\"",

Jailing Lewis Barker, 27, Caine Gray, 27, Josiah Foster, 26, and Devon Walker, 25, at Sheffield Crown Court, the judge said they were \"men of violence\" who had targeted Mr Blake. More Yorkshire stories South Yorkshire Police said Mr Blake, a friend and Walker were on Brackley Street just after 15:05 GMT, when Foster's car pulled up and the occupants got out. Mr Blake and his friend recognised the men and started to run before they were attacked. He was stabbed in the chest and left to die in the street, police said. Despite urgent medical assistance from members of the public and ambulance staff at the scene, he died in hospital shortly after. His 24-year-old friend suffered injuries to his leg in the attack, but has since made a full recovery. The four men were: Lewis Barker, 27, of North Hill Road, Sheffield, pleaded guilty to murder. He was jailed for life, to serve a minimum of 23 years. Caine Gray, 27, of Treetown Crescent, Rotherham, was convicted of murder and jailed for life to serve a minimum of 19 years. Josiah Foster, 26, of Cookson Close, Sheffield, was guilty of manslaughter and had an extended sentence of 15 years. Devon Walker, 25, of HMP Moorland, was guilty of manslaughter and had an extended sentence of 15 years. He was also jailed for one year, to run concurrently, for the assault against Mr Blake's friend. Judge Jeremy Richardson QC said the murder was \"wholly down to a drug gang turf war\". Mr Blake had moved from selling drugs in the Gleadless area of Sheffield to Pitsmoor. Judge Richardson said it was \"a planned and premeditated attack due to perceived encroachment on drug territory\". He said that Barker stabbed Mr Blake in the heart and that was the fatal blow. Judge Richardson said: \"All of you are men of violence, each one a practised and dangerous criminal\". Follow BBC Yorkshire on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

            "input": "By Mick Tucker5 Live Investigates The all-party group backed campaigners who say having no hard shoulder puts motorists and recovery workers at risk. England has more than 100 miles (161km) of All Lane Running (ALR) smart motorways, with 225 miles more planned. MP Tracey Crouch said the rollout should be paused, but Highways England said ALR smart motorways were safe. Smart motorways work by using the hard shoulder as a fourth lane, with variable speed limits to control the flow of traffic. There are three main types of smart motorways in the UK: It is the ALR schemes which are the most common and that are causing the greatest concern. Figures from Highways England, obtained by the RAC via a Freedom of Information request, show that at the end of 2017 there were 100 miles of ALR motorway in England. Last year, on these stretches there were 16 crashes across all lanes which caused injury involving stationary vehicles, such as broken-down cars. The figures also show that over the same period, there were 29 similar crashes involving vehicles parked up on the hard shoulder for the whole of the rest of the network in England - which includes about 1,800 miles of road. 'Sitting Duck' Ellie Montgomery, her husband, and three young daughters were hit by a lorry last December when their vehicle broke down on the M6 in Cheshire. The family's people carrier came to an abrupt halt in a live lane and there was no hard shoulder for them to pull on to. It was sealed off because the stretch of motorway concerned was being converted into a smart motorway. A heavy goods vehicle (HGV) travelling at 50mph ploughed into the back of their vehicle. Ellie, her husband Duncan, and one of their children were knocked unconscious, while Ellie suffered a hairline fracture to the base of her neck. She told BBC 5 live Investigates they were \"a sitting duck\" with no hard shoulder. \"It turns the motorway into a deathtrap. There is no amount of technology that can overcome the danger of not having a hard shoulder as a safety net.\" The Campaign for Safer Roadside Rescue and Recovery (CSRRR) wants the rollout of this ALR scheme to be stopped - and for recovery workers to be able to use red flashing lights rather than orange. The campaign is being led by Samantha Cockerill - whose partner Steve Godbold, a vehicle recovery worker, was killed in September 2017 when an HGV strayed on to the hard shoulder of the M25. She calls the new ALR smart motorways \"crazy\" and says they increase the risk to recovery workers. She is now being backed by the all-party parliamentary group, Tracey Crouch, Conservative MP for Chatham and Aylesford, who sits on the group, told 5 live Investigates the rollout should be halted with immediate effect. \"We need the government to pause and reflect on whether we're getting this right,\" she said. The introduction of ALR smart motorways should be halted \"until we have a better understanding about how we can protect those who have broken down and the recovery workers that come to assist them\", she added. What to do if you break down on a smart motorway? Source: Highways England Highways England, which operates the motorway network, says the technology used on smart motorways makes journeys more reliable and insists they are as safe as traditional motorways. It says they will continue to make design changes - including introducing systems that detect stationary vehicles. \"We recognise that as well as being safe, drivers want to feel safe and we have and will continue to make some changes to the design of motorways,\" it said in a statement. The organisation also said it was prioritising raising awareness of the need to comply with lane closures and, where practical, reducing the distance between emergency refuge areas to a maximum of one mile.

Mr Jaswal said that until operations ceased the firm had complied with all employee legislation. The newspaper has agreed a settlement which Mr Jaswal said he will donate to charity. His family business Jaswal Fashions ran for 30 years. He said it never failed any Health and Safety Executive checks and paid staff the correct wages. The company ceased trading in November 2018 but was mistakenly identified in the newspaper's story due to an old sign that remained on an exterior factory wall. The article actually related to a completely unrelated firm, one of several operating from the premises. Mr Jaswal said: \"It was shock and horror.

Mr Jaswal said he was \"relieved\" to reach a settlement, but said the main reason was to come out with \"an unblemished reputation, as it was before\".

            "input": "By Will Dahlgreen & Colletta SmithBBC News Google uses the term \"racy\" to describe skimpy or sheer clothing, strategically covered nudity or provocative poses. One of the companies analysed, Missguided, said its site reflected what appealed to its customers. The findings come as the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) banned adverts from Missguided and Boohoo. The ASA said the Missguided advert featured \"highly sexualised\" images and \"objectified women\", while it told Boohoo to make sure its advertising was \"socially responsible\". The BBC's research found that on a typical UK High Street fashion retailer's website, 8% of women's modelling images were \"racy\", compared with 16% for online-only sites. The online-only sites analysed were: I Saw it First (21% of images were \"racy\"), Asos (7%), Missguided (16%), Boohoo (16%), Pretty Little Thing (22%) and Nasty Gal (11%). More traditional retailers covered were: Topshop (9%), River Island (7%), New Look (4%) and Urban Outfitters (25%). Missguided said: \"Our website reflects what appeals to the young women who love to buy from us - sassy, empowered, unafraid of what others think. \"We run our website for them, not an artificial intelligence algorithm.\" The images analysed were posted in the \"new in\" sections of retailers' websites. Seven of the companies analysed also had men's sites. Of the 6,200 images gathered from these, only 2% were classed as \"racy\". Social influencers Online-only sites may have racier content because they use social influencers to promote their clothes, suggests Lexie Carbone, who works for Later - a US company which advises businesses on how best to use the photo-sharing app Instagram. She says brands invite influencers to formal photo shoots, and these produce a different kind of picture, more reflective of different body shapes and skin-tones, but also potentially in more provocative poses. \"For the audience to be able to look at that influencer and imagine themselves in that outfit and kind of aspire to be living that life, it's really captured in a different way than maybe a still traditional model pose.\" Clothing design Martha Poole, managing director of the Manchester-based modelling agency Industry, thinks the main reason for the difference is the design of the clothes. \"In a dress that's slashed from the neck to the navel, you don't really have to stand provocatively, the dress itself is provocative,\" she said. However, Martha agrees there is a big difference in the appearance of influencers and the 'traditional' model which her firm represents. She says that unlike many influencers, her models don't have any visible physical enhancements such as fillers, as she wants her male and female models to look classically beautiful. \"They have to be a certain height, have beautiful skin… and that hasn't changed since the 1940s\". Shopper reaction Natalie Aitchison, 24, David Poucher, 19, Rhys Blanchard, 20, and Rebecca McGrath, 21, are all students at Salford University. They were given two different sets of photos - one batch from online-only sites, and one from High Street sites. The students had no difficulty telling the difference. Natalie said the online-only models \"just look like Instagram influencers, with the sleek long hair, and the style of the dresses - it's just very night out and looks like thin material, like skimpy material, off-the-shoulder. I can just tell.\" Rebecca said: \"It is more sexy… these will probably all be thong style [the swimwear], you can just tell by looking at them.\" Rhys said he could spot the High Street styles. \"The dresses look much better quality, looking at the material and looking at the cuts of the dresses… The fast fashion ones look cheap.\" But he also thought there was a big difference in the way the online-only models were posing: \"It's almost a little bit inviting, I think it's more provocative.\" David said: \"When you have people posting stuff on Instagram, they use a lot of filters and highlighter is used to accentuate different features, so like breasts and thighs, so I think that adds to them looking more provocative.\" 'It works!' But all the students agree the racier images aren't necessarily a bad thing, because online-only fashion sites are more likely to use models of different body shapes. \"I buy it, so it works!\" Natalie laughs. \"It is empowering because you can feel sexy, whatever your body type, and that is the message being brought out to younger girls and it works. I know that I'd buy it.\" Dr Antonis Kousoulis, Mental Health Foundation director for England and Wales, said: \"The trouble with fashion advertising is that it is ubiquitous, it uses models who represent a very narrow stereotype of 'beauty' and it often targets young women.\" He added: \"Fashion imagery can make many people feel worse about their bodies and themselves.\" A Government Equalities Office spokesperson acknowledged there was pressure on young people to achieve an idealised image which could affect their mental health. \"We want all people to grow up feeling comfortable and confident about their bodies,\" they said. What is 'racy'? Google's software scores images from one to five in terms of how likely they are to be, what they call, \"racy\". It is part of their \"Safe Search\" tool, which detects adult, spoof, medical, violent and \"racy\" images. The BBC's analysis only counted images with a score of four ('likely racy') or five ('very likely racy') as \"racy\". For comparison, the average picture in lads magazine FHM's \"100 Sexiest Women\" 2005 edition had a \"racy\" score of four. While having more underwear or swimwear on a site will affect the score, the score is also influenced by the way in which the clothing is modelled. How were the images analysed? The BBC's analysis looked at 18,000 images containing a female model from the \"new in\" sections of 10 fashion sites, posted in June to July 2019. The sites were chosen because they are popular with women aged 18-24, according to internet research company SimilarWeb. Six were online-only and four were High Street stores. Two other High Street brands, H&M and Zara, were left out of the analysis because the BBC was unable to gather images from their websites in a comparable way. Only Missguided chose to comment on the BBC's findings.",

Guardian journalist Rob Evans asked for a judicial review of the decision. Judges said it was a \"an exceptional case meriting use of the ministerial veto to prevent disclosure and to safeguard the public interest.\" 'Proper and rational' The Lord Chief Justice, Lord Judge, sitting with Lord Justice Davis and Mr Justice Globe, at the High Court in central London, refused to overturn the attorney general's veto. Lord Justice Davis said the reasons given by Mr Grieve for his decision were \"proper, rational and make sense\". The letters were from the prince to seven government departments over a seven-month period. Mr Grieve's decision reversed a freedom of information tribunal ruling approving release of the letters. The information commissioner had earlier upheld refusals by the government departments to reveal the correspondence. Mr Evans said Mr Grieve was wrong in law and was \"overriding an independent and impartial tribunal\". Politically neutral Dinah Rose QC, representing Mr Evans, said in a written argument before the court that the attorney general had \"adopted an impermissible blanket approach, unreasonably failing to consider the public interest balance in respect of each individual piece of correspondence\". Mr Grieve, the government's principal legal adviser, said his decision was based on his view that the correspondence was part of the prince's \"preparation for becoming king\". He said making the letters public could potentially damage the principle of the heir to the throne being politically neutral, and therefore undermine his ability to fulfil his duties as king. Mr Grieve had issued a certificate vetoing disclosure under section 53 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 and under the Environmental Information Regulations 2004. His lawyers argued that his decision to make the section 53 certificate \"was plainly a decision that was open to him\".

She said Cyanide was a \"lovely, pretty name\" with positive connotations as it was taken by Hitler. The Court of Appeal ruled the \"unusual\" choices might harm the children. The court was told the mother had a history of mental illness, drug and alcohol abuse. The infant twins, as well as the mother's other children, have been taken from her care. When Powys council social workers learnt of the names the mother had chosen for the twins, they took the case to court. In June, a judge issued an injunction against the mother, forbidding her from formally registering the twins' forenames. Lawyers appealed, claiming a violation of the woman's right to respect for family life. But Lady Justice King said naming a little girl after a \"notorious poison\" was simply unacceptable. Although there was nothing seriously objectionable about the name Preacher, she ruled both twins' names should be chosen by their older half-siblings. Lady Justice King said \"even allowing for changes in taste, fashion and developing individual perception\", Cyanide was a very odd name to give to a baby girl. The mother said Cyanide was linked with flowers and plants and was \"responsible for killing Hitler and Goebbels and I consider that this was a good thing\". Hitler took the poison in April 1945 with Eva Braun before shooting himself. Lady Justice King said the courts would intervene to prevent a parent naming a child \"in only the most extreme cases\".",

A big effort - with tonnes of food - is under way to try and keep them safe. It is unclear why they left their habitat to embark on the journey, which has captivated residents and experts. Some have suggested an inexperienced leader may have led the herd astray, while other believe the elephants could be searching for a new habitat. The Asian elephant is an endangered species. China has only about 300 wild elephants, mainly in the south of Yunnan province. Scientists say this is the furthest any of the wild elephants there have travelled from the habitat. The Kunming Daily says the cities of Kunming and Yuxi deployed almost 700 police and emergency workers armed with 10 tonnes of corn, pineapples and other food. They were backed up by trucks and drones to try to divert the animals on to a safe path. Don't gawk or leave corn or salt out; keep your distance and don't disturb them with firecrackers, residents have been told. Animal experts say the herd appears to have gathered pace, possibly because the heavier human population has increased its fears, and it is unlikely the elephants would try to enter Kunming. Efforts to turn them around have failed, and scientists may have to try and find them a suitable place to live nearby. Tale of the journey It's not exactly clear when the herd left home, which was probably the Mengyangzi Nature Reserve in Xishuangbanna, in south-west Yunnan. Officials appear to have been first alerted to their movements when locals spotted the herd about 100km north of Xishuangbanna in April. There were thought to be 17 elephants initially, but two appeared to turn back when reaching Mojiang county. Other reports say it was 16 originally but a newborn calf helped the number back to 15 once the two abandoned the trek. As for the journey, it has comprised a mixture of farms, tracks and asphalt and has continued night and day. At one stage the group took a main road through the village of Eshan and apparently banged on residents' doors. A video on social media showed people running down the street shouting \"they are coming\", followed soon after by a police car and the elephants, the South China Morning Post reported. A Yunnan government notice said the herd had \"caused trouble 412 times\" there. Stories abound, including of one elderly man who the Jimu News channel said had hidden under his bed in his retirement home as trunks were poked into rooms. At least one elephant got drunk on fermented grain in a report that is - naturally - quite difficult to confirm. And more than $1m (£710,000) worth of crops has been pilfered along the way. Fortunately, no one has been injured. One report says the herd is made-up of six female and three male adults, three juveniles and three calves. Why did they leave? There was some dry humour on social media in China. One post on the Weibo social media site said the animals probably wanted to attend the UN Biodiversity Conference meeting in Kunming. They are a bit early, as it isn't taking place until October. But this is a serious issues too - involving habitat loss and increasing altercations between elephants and farmers in Yunnan. Li Zhongyuan, a Xishuangbanna forestry official, told the Global Times that the traditional diet of the elephants had depleted in their habitat, with the animals now changing to agricultural crops like corn and sugar cane. There could be similar treks if the habitat is reduced further by the planting of rubber and other cash crops.",

He was criticised by the Archbishop of Canterbury and Friends of the Earth. Apologising, Lord Howell of Guildford said there were parts of both the North East and the south that were \"less densely inhabited than others\". Fracking - short for \"hydraulic fracturing\" - involves drilling deep under ground and releasing a high-pressure mix of water, sand and hundreds of chemicals to crack rocks and release gas stored inside. Water companies are worried the process could contaminate drinking water aquifers that lie above shale gas reserves. But supporters of fracking say it is safe and essential to making the UK more energy self-sufficient. Widespread fracking has not started in the UK yet, but Cuadrilla began exploratory drilling in Lancashire in 2011 and many other possible sites have been identified. 'Jaw-dropping' During Lords Questions, Conservative Lord Howell, who was energy secretary from 1979 to 1981, asked: \"Would you accept that it could be a mistake to think of and discuss fracking in terms of the whole of the United Kingdom in one go? \"I mean there obviously are, in beautiful natural areas, worries about not just the drilling and the fracking, which I think are exaggerated, but about the trucks, and the delivery, and the roads, and the disturbance, and those about justified worries.\" He added: \"But there are large and uninhabited and desolate areas. Certainly in part of the North East where there's plenty of room for fracking, well away from anybody's residence, where we could conduct without any kind of threat to the rural environment.\" After the comments, the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Most Reverend Justin Welby, wrote on Twitter: \"North east England very beautiful, rugged, welcoming, inspiring, historic, advancing, not 'desolate' as was said in House of Lords today.\" Friends of the Earth's Tony Bosworth called the comments \"jaw-dropping\", adding: \"The government's ill-conceived fracking plans aren't something that can be quietly brushed under the carpet 'up north' - as the villages resisting the drillers in the Tory heartlands of England's south show.\" Following the criticism, Lord Howell issued a statement saying: \"I apologise for any offence caused. I certainly did not intend to suggest that the North East is desolate and I do not believe it to be the case. There are parts of the country that are less densely inhabited than others. \"That includes parts of the North East but also other areas in the south of England as well. The shale gas industry should be encouraged to develop in a sustainable way where it is appropriate to do so and in way that ensures communities benefit, which could be in many different parts of country.\" Downing Street said Lord Howell did not speak for the government. But Labour MP for Newcastle North Catherine McKinnell said the peer's remarks demonstrated that the Conservative Party was \"out of touch\". \"It's right that Lord Howell has apologised for these offensive comments but such outdated opinions leave a lasting impression,\" she said. Andy Wilson, chief executive of the North York Moors National Park Authority, said the authority had received initial contact from companies over fracking for shale. \"It's something that in the longer term we're expecting to deal with,\" he said. \"But we shouldn't start with an assumption it's empty and desolate; it's beautiful and peopled.\"",

His show Corrie! opened on Thursday at The Lowry in Salford as part of the soap's 50th anniversary celebrations. It sees five actors play 55 characters, giving fans a frenetic trip through the ups and downs - mostly downs - of the long-suffering Weatherfield residents. Harvey is steeped in the soap. He has been part of its writing team since 2004 and is still there, working on the no-doubt dramatic anniversary storylines that will be played out later this year. For the stage show, he has waded through reams of stories to piece together the most memorable moments, ending up with something akin to the Reduced Shakespeare Company tackling Hilda and Mavis instead of Hamlet and Macbeth. The whistlestop story goes from Ena Sharples and Elsie Tanner fighting on the cobbles, through Gail's five weddings, Alan Bradley getting run over by a tram, Ken Barlow teaching French to Raquel and the saga of Tony Gordon illustrated through the medium of ballet. Harvey first asked the soap's official archivist to pick out the top five storylines from every year, then chose the three characters who had been at the heart of the most action - Ken, Deirdre and Gail. \"They've had so much happen to them and it's really easy to tell their stories - so Gail with her five husbands and every one a nightmare,\" Harvey explains. \"Always thinking the next one's going to be OK and then he turns out to be a serial killer. It's just great material to play with.\" He then read a summary of every episode that each of his three protagonists had ever been in before putting a tick next to those he wanted to use. \"So there was a lot of reading, and sleepless nights when I'd just be nodding off to sleep and then think 'Oh my God, Hilda Ogden!' And I'd remember characters. \"My poor researcher then had to go and watch the episodes with a laptop on her knee and write down the dialogue that I needed.\" Actor Charles Lawson - better known to viewers as Jim McDonald - fills in the gaps as narrator. The biggest revelation after watching 50 years of the show, Harvey says, was the fact that the writing has always been strong. \"Reading scenes where Deirdre was having her affair with Mike Baldwin, the writing just shone through,\" he says. \"That was really encouraging. \"When people say why has the show lasted so long, I'm sure it's got something to do with that.\" The rows, affairs and pithy one-liners have always been part of Coronation Street life - even if there are now more of them, with five episodes a week to fill compared with two in 1960. What has changed, Harvey says, is the pace of the action and the style of modern TV. \"There were great scenes on the cobbles of Elsie and Ena having scraps but it was all quite static,\" he says. \"The camera would always stay in two places. \"Whereas now, there'd be hair being dragged out, there'd be blood everywhere, the camera would be spinning round and it would be a much more televisually exciting.\" Disasters, too, are nothing new. In 1967, a train crashed off the viaduct at the end of the street, burying Ena under the rubble. In an echo of that storyline, a tram will career off the collapsed viaduct for the 50th anniversary in December, killing some well-known characters. The identities of the victims are being closely guarded. But we do know Jack Duckworth, played by Bill Tarmey, and Janice Battersby, portrayed by Vicky Entwistle, will leave the show around that time. Producers hope the blockbuster anniversary storylines will provide one of the year's biggest TV events, boosting ratings that currently hover around seven or eight million per episode on ITV1. \"It's going to be a really exciting time on screen,\" says Harvey, wary not to get into trouble by revealing juicy details. \"The big event is going to be that a tram is going to crash off the viaduct. \"You have to start using your imagination after that. But if a tram crashes off a viaduct into an ordinary northern street, it's not going to be a comedy story and life may never be the same again. You know what I mean?\" Corrie! is at The Lowry in Salford until 21 August.",

The project is opposed locally by pro-Corbyn pressure group Momentum. The NEC was meeting for the first time since Momentum founder Jon Lansman was elected as one of its members. The public private partnership to redevelop a large council estate has proved hugely divisive within the Haringey Labour Party. The row came to national attention when Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn signalled his misgivings at last year's party conference. Momentum has campaigned against the project, suggesting it could lead to social cleansing. Around a third of the Labour group - mainly supporters of the scheme - have since either been deselected, or have stood down ahead of this spring's council elections. Momentum is likely to have a strong influence on council policy if Labour wins the May election, so the future of the scheme had already been in doubt. Labour's ruling national executive is advising the existing council leadership to pause its plans for the project if local divisions continue - this, in effect, could kill it off. Supporters of the scheme argued it would bring much needed private funds into the regeneration of a deprived area. Momentum immediately welcomed the NEC decision - and some will see this is a symbol of the group's growing influence within the party. But the BBC understands that the national executive's vote was unanimous, with backing from both the left and right of the party. A Momentum spokesman said: \"It is great to see such unity in moving against this hugely unpopular damaging policy which, if forced through, could see many residents kicked out of their homes.\" A Labour source said: \"The Haringey Development Vehicle is deeply unpopular in Haringey.

The US expelled 15 Cuban diplomats, saying that Havana had failed to protect its employees, but Cuba said the move was \"unjustified\". The US government also suspended visa processing in Cuba indefinitely. Speaking in Washington at a meeting of Cubans living in the US, Mr Rodriguez said the allegations have caused a \"serious deterioration in the relationship between both governments and both countries\". \"It's unacceptable and immoral, from the point of view of the Cuban government, for people to be harmed by a difference between governments,\" he added. The reported health problems ranged from mild brain trauma and deafness to dizziness and nausea.

Glasgow reported an increase of 4.1%, with almost 532,000 people travelling through the airport. Aberdeen saw strong growth in its fixed-wing operation, which was up by 7.4%, while helicopter passengers increased by 12.9%. Aberdeen Airport managing director Carol Benzie said: \"There are a lot of exciting things happening at the airport at the moment and the energy that these have created is palpable. \"We are pressing ahead with work on the terminal redevelopment, we have seen two new air services take off in the last month alone, and we have been working hard on further route development.\" 'Busy March' Edinburgh Airport said domestic passenger numbers increased by 5.3% last month, while international passenger traffic was up 4.4%. Airport chief executive Gordon Dewar said: \"We enjoyed a busy March with good performances from domestic and international carriers. \"We also experienced our busiest departure day ever thanks to the thousands of French rugby fans leaving Edinburgh after the Six Nations.\" Glasgow, where this week an Airbus A380 \"super jumbo\" operated by Emirates landed in Scotland for the first time, said its domestic traffic benefited from strong demand for London and regional services. Its international passenger numbers were lifted by airlines such as KLM, Jet2.com and United, which all reported an increase in demand. Glasgow's managing director, Amanda McMillan, said: \"To be able announce further growth is extremely encouraging and rounds off what has been a historic week for Glasgow Airport and Scottish aviation. \"To have the A380 touch down on our runway was a remarkable and fitting way to celebrate 10 years of Glasgow Airport's successful partnership with Emirates which, yet again, demonstrated its commitment to Scotland.\"",

            "input": "The claim is being filed on behalf of millions of children in the UK and EU who have used the hugely popular video-sharing app. If successful, the children affected could each be owed thousands of pounds. TikTok said the case was without merit and it would fight it. 'Sinister' Lawyers will allege that TikTok takes children's personal information, including phone numbers, videos, exact location and biometric data, without sufficient warning, transparency or the necessary consent required by law, and without children or parents knowing what is being done with that information. In response, the video-sharing app said: \"Privacy and safety are top priorities for TikTok and we have robust policies, processes and technologies in place to help protect all users, and our teenage users in particular. We believe the claims lack merit and intend to vigorously defend the action.\" TikTok has more than 800 million users worldwide and parent firm ByteDance made billions in profits last year, with the vast majority of that coming via advertising revenue. The claim is being launched on behalf of all children who have used TikTok since 25 May 2018, regardless of whether they have an account or their privacy settings. Children not wishing to be represented can opt out. Ms Longfield told the BBC she was focusing on TikTok because, while all social media platforms collected information, TikTok had \"excessive\" data collection policies. \"TikTok is a hugely popular social media platform that has helped children keep in touch with their friends during an incredibly difficult year. However, behind the fun songs, dance challenges and lip-sync trends lies something far more sinister.\" She alleges the firm is \"a data collection service that is thinly veiled as a social network\" which has \"deliberately and successfully deceived parents\". She added that those parents have a \"right to know\" what private information is being collected via TikTok's \"shadowy data collection practices\". The case is being represented by law firm Scott and Scott. Partner Tom Southwell said he believed the information collected by TikTok represents \"a severe breach of UK and EU data protection law\". \"TikTok and ByteDance's advertising revenue is built on the personal information of its users, including children. Profiting from this information without fulfilling its legal obligations, and its moral duty to protect children online, is unacceptable.\" Age verification The case is not without precedent. In 2019, the Chinese firm was given a record $5.7m fine by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), for mishandling children's data. The firm has been fined in South Korea over how it collects children's data, and in the UK, it has been investigated by the Information Commissioner's Office. That action revolved around Musical.ly, which was incorporated into TikTok, knowingly hosting content published by users under the age of 13. TikTok was ordered to delete the data and set up an age verification system. According to Ofcom, 44% of eight to 12-year-olds in the UK use TikTok, despite its policies forbidding under-13s on the platform. Class action The legal action against TikTok was first brought by an anonymous 12-year-old girl last year, supported by Ms Longfield. At the time, Ms Longfield said she was waiting to see the result of another case before proceeding with suing TikTok. The case in question was brought by Which? director Richard Lloyd on behalf of four million iPhone users who, he alleges, were illegally tracked by Google. Despite being launched in 2017, the case has still not had the go-ahead and is due to be heard by the Supreme Court soon. \"It could be difficult for similar cases to succeed if the Supreme Court dismisses Mr Lloyd's ability to bring his claim,\" said Richard Leedham, partner at law firm Mishcon de Reya.",

The US singer had a double mastectomy in 2013 after being diagnosed with breast cancer for the second time.

            "input": "In the August-to-October period, average earnings excluding bonuses were up 1.6% from a year earlier. Including bonuses, earnings rose by 1.4%. It is the first time for six years that both measures of earnings growth have been above the inflation rate. Meanwhile, the number of people unemployed in the quarter fell by 63,000 to 1.96 million. The fall was the slowest quarterly fall for a year, leading some analysts to speculate that the rate of improvement may have peaked. The jobless rate was 6%, matching its lowest level in six years. The ONS figures also showed that there were 30.80 million people in work in the three-month period, 115,000 more than for the May-to-July period, driven by more people in full-time work. The number of people claiming Jobseeker's Allowance in November fell by 26,900 to 900,100. 'Decent improvement' For the month of October alone, pay including bonuses, increased by 1.8%. That compares to an inflation rate of 1.3% in the same month. November's inflation figures were released on Tuesday and showed it falling further - to a 12-year-low of 1%. Bank of England policymakers expect that trend to continue. Earlier on BBC Radio 5 live, the Bank of England's deputy governor, Jon Cunliffe, said UK inflation in the coming months was \"going to be low\". Analysts were encouraged by the earnings growth. \"Earnings growth is finally starting to open a clear positive gap over inflation, which is serious good news for consumers,\" said Howard Archer, economist at IHS Global Insight. \"This bodes well for consumer spending in 2015, although it needs to be borne in mind that consumers have faced a prolonged squeeze on their purchasing power. \"Meanwhile, the labour market is still seeing decent improvement, although the underlying rate of improvement is showing signs of moderation,\" he added. However, TUC general secretary Frances O'Grady said the figures showed \"some long overdue improvements, but at this rate it will take over a decade to recover the real value of people's earnings\". Analysis: Robert Peston, BBC economics editor It has been a journey of a good six years, give or take the odd blip, but weekly earnings do now seem to be pulling ahead of Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation. This is especially true of the private sector, which accounts for 82% of jobs (and rising) - where average weekly earnings rose 2.2% in October, compared with inflation of 1.3% in that month and 1% in November. The fastest wage growth was 3% in finance and business services - don't curse please, it's unbecoming - and 2.7% in construction. The shrinking public sector saw a less-than-inflation 0.5% rise. Read Robert's blog in full In a tweet, Prime Minister David Cameron said: \"Employment is at a record high & average earnings are rising faster than inflation. More to do, but our long term economic plan is working.\" Deflation risk But Rachel Reeves, the shadow secretary for work and pensions, said some groups were still struggling to find work. \"Long-term youth unemployment has risen over the last few months. So there's still much more that the government needs to do.\" Separately, minutes from the last meeting of the Bank of England's Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) showed that policy makers again voted 7-2 to keep interest rates on hold at 0.5%. MPC members Ian McCafferty and Martin Weale continued to vote for a rise in rates to 0.75%. However, the majority of MPC members felt that pay growth had to accelerate before inflation would begin to approach the Bank's target of 2%. Coupled with the risk of deflation, analysts said that interest rates could remain at their record low for some time. \"Indeed, given the weight of downward pressure on prices, there is a far from minimal chance that rates could stay on hold throughout 2015,\" said Martin Beck, senior economic adviser to the EY Item Club.",

The findings could help to inform urban planners and have an impact on society at large, they said. The study is published in the journal Psychological Science. The research team examined data from a national survey that followed more than 5,000 UK households and 10,000 adults between 1991 and 2008 as they moved house around the country. They asked participants to report on their own psychological health during that time to estimate the \"green space effect\". Dr Mathew White and colleagues at the European Centre for the Environment and Human Health found that individuals reported less mental distress and higher life satisfaction when they were living in greener areas. This was true even after the researchers accounted for changes over time in participants' income, employment, marital status, physical health and housing type. Benefits for society Dr White compared the scale of the effects of living in a greener area to \"big-hitting\" life events such as marriage. \"We've found that living in an urban area with relatively high levels of green space can have a significantly positive impact on wellbeing, roughly equal to a third of the impact of being married.\" The effect was also found to be equivalent to a tenth of the impact of being employed, as opposed to unemployed. Even when stacked up against other factors that contribute to life satisfaction, living in a greener area had a significant effect, the study said. \"These kinds of comparisons are important for policymakers when trying to decide how to invest scarce public resources, such as for park development or upkeep, and figuring out what bang they'll get for their buck,\" said Dr White. While the effect for an individual might be small, he pointed out that the potential positive effects of green space for society at large might be substantial. \"This research could be important for psychologists, public health officials and urban planners who are interested in learning about the effects that urbanisation and city planning can have on population health and wellbeing.\" Beth Murphy, information manager at the mental health charity Mind, said: \"For people living busy lifestyles in densely populated areas, being able to get outdoors and access green space is a great way to escape the stresses of day-to-day life. \"Our research has shown that 94% of people who took part in outdoors 'green exercise' said it benefited their mental health and can have huge impacts on physical health. \"We believe this is food for thought for any policymaker involved in urban planning, or local authority developing its public health strategy.\"",

Political leaders welcomed the figures showing the highest number of people in Wales in employment since 1992. In the UK as a whole there has been a fall of 167,000 in the number of people unemployed bringing the total to 2.32 million, or 7.1%. Wales now has the highest employment rate since the period March to May 1992. That is partly due to a drop of 30,000 in the number of people economically inactive through unemployment, sickness or disability. There are also more women working in Wales than ever before, 660,000, around 20,000 up on the last figures. The Federation of Small Businesses in Wales said the ONS figures made heartening reading. Policy spokesperson Janet Jones said: \"The figures chime well with our surveys of our members, with FSB members now having the confidence to increase their headcount for the first time since 2010. \"It is important now that Wales capitalises on this momentum so that we can rebuild our economy. \"There are very real measures that the Welsh government can undertake to ensure that happens, notably reforming our business rates system and improving access to finance for small firms by reforming Finance Wales.\" 'Optimism and confidence' First Minister Carwyn Jones said the figures were positive for Wales with employment levels at a historic high and economic inactivity at a record low. He said: \"While the damage caused by the UK government's failure to respond to the economic downturn has not been fully repaired, today's employment figures, together with our positive economic output indicators, show that Wales can face 2014 with an increased spirit of optimism and confidence as our economy continues to recover more quickly than most other parts of the UK.\" Welsh Secretary David Jones said the ONS figures showed a 21,000 increase in the number of people in employment in Wales over the last quarter when figures were already at a record high. He said: \"Our long-term plan is working, as there have never been more people in work in Wales, or indeed across the UK. Interest rates \"Furthermore, we have seen sharp decreases in the numbers of those who are economically inactive. \"As a consequence of our taking difficult decisions, the UK is recovering strongly and more quickly, particularly in comparison with our European neighbours.\" The Bank of England has said it will consider increasing interest rates from the current record low of 0.5% when the UK unemployment rate falls to 7%.

Council leader Sir Albert Bore said Ofsted would publish its reports in \"the first or second week of May\". He said the council has not yet seen the draft version of the reports. Sir Albert went on to criticise the apparent leaking of an Education Funding Agency report into three city academies to a national newspaper at the weekend. He said the government Cabinet Office was investigating the source. The Trojan Horse allegations first came to light earlier this year, contained in an anonymous and unsigned letter. In all, 25 schools are being investigated over claims that male and female pupils were segregated, sex education banned and in one case that the al Qaida-linked Muslim cleric Anwar al-Awlaki was praised in an assembly. The preacher was killed by a US drone strike in Yemen in 2011. On Saturday, The Daily Telegraph reported that six of the schools implicated in the allegations faced being placed in special measures. Sir Albert said: \"That such important and sensitive information has been leaked at this time is wholly reprehensible and completely unacceptable.\" He said one school had inaccurately been included in press articles when it was unconnected with the current inquiries. The authority also announced from Monday a hotline would be set up for whistleblowers to come forward with specific concerns. It has also made public the list of 18 schools following what it called \"misinformation\" in press coverage. Council chief executive Mark Rogers said he was in \"no position\" to identify the remaining seven schools because inquiries were still \"in the early stages\". The council's investigation is being headed by former head teacher Ian Kershaw, who is sifting through about 200 concerns raised since Trojan Horse emerged. The DfE has appointed its own education commissioner, the former head of the Metropolitan Police's counter-terrorism unit Peter Clarke. Mr Rogers said it was the council understanding that Sir Michael Wilshaw, the head of Ofsted, had been overseeing its inquiry for some time. The council also revealed the make-up of its Trojan Horse review group.

Doctors warn the authenticity of diazepam bought online cannot be trusted. It is illegal to possess without a prescription. The medicines regulator said selling such drugs was a \"serious offence\". Its figures, for tablets that tested positive for diazepam, do not include the number of fake pills being seized. One woman who was addicted to the drug for a decade - fuelled by pills bought online - said it had ruined her life. Diazepam - also known by one of its brand names, Valium - is a class-C drug in the UK. It is commonly used to treat anxiety, muscle spasms and seizures, working to calm the brain and nerves. On the NHS, the medication is not recommended to be taken for longer than four weeks, while possessing the drug without a prescription carries a maximum prison sentence of two years. Some people turn to rogue online pharmacies and dealers to buy it when they are unable to - or do not want to - get it from a doctor. Hardyal Dhindsa, the national lead on drug and alcohol abuse for the Association of Police and Crime Commissioners (APCC), said online sales needed better legislation and monitoring. \"It's hard to see how we'll tackle this because availability online is so easy,\" he said. \"More needs to be done through the health service, the enforcement agencies and public health departments.\" As part of its investigation, the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire programme bought three batches of diazepam online and had them tested by experts at St George's Hospital in south London. Two batches were found to contain diazepam but one contained flualprazolam - an unlicensed drug that is more powerful and addictive. 'I don't remember most of my 20s' \"Emma\" was first prescribed diazepam in her early 20s during a serious bout of anxiety. \"I went to the doctor crying and wanting to kill myself,\" she says. \"I just remember being given these pills and they made it all go away.\" But Emma became addicted and doctors would not prescribe her the amounts she felt she needed. \"Instead of going to another GP and explaining the situation, I started buying them on the black market,\" she says. Emma says the addiction ruined a decade of her life, causing her to underperform in her degree and postgraduate degree. And she is only now beginning to recover after being clean for almost a year. \"I don't remember most of my 20s, I don't remember anything,\" she says. The issue of people self-medicating for their mental health with diazepam illegally bought online has become so serious the Addiction to Online Medicine Service (Atom) has been established by the Central and North West London NHS Foundation Trust. Its consultant psychiatrist, Dr Owen Bowden-Jones, said the main drug used by patients at the clinic was diazepam. \"The internet has been a game-changer,\" he said. \"People are experiencing high anxiety or severe depression or sometimes chronic pain and they find that these drugs make them feel better and their dose just goes up and up and up.\" Dr Bowden-Jones said coming off high doses of diazepam could be more dangerous than heroin withdrawal. \"If people are addicted to it and they stop suddenly, then they are at risk of having a seizure and of course that could potentially be life-threatening,\" he said. It is not known how many people are buying illegal or fake diazepam online but it is significant enough for the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) to have made seizing it a priority in the past year. The Victoria Derbyshire programme visited a Border Force hub in central England where pills ordered online from across the globe arrive. Officers there found some diazepam pills laced with fentanyl - a painkiller more potent than morphine and potentially fatal if taken without medical supervision. The MHRA said selling prescription-only medicines outside of the legal supply chain was a serious criminal offence. \"Diazepam is scheduled under the Misuse of Drugs Act and classified as a prescription-only medicine for a reason,\" it said. \"Prescription medicines are - by their very nature - potent and must be prescribed by a healthcare professional based on their clinical judgement and access to patient records.\" A Home Office spokesman said: \"Border Force, the National Crime Agency, police and other law enforcement organisations work together with international partners to protect our borders from a range of threats, including harmful substances, and to disrupt and prosecute organised crime groups.\" Follow the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire programme on Facebook and Twitter - and see more of our stories here.",

Fox has been chasing approval from UK regulators since 2016 to buy the 61% of Sky it does not already own. The bid was held up by politicians and regulators who feared it could give Mr Murdoch too much power over UK media. The Murdoch-controlled Fox has been attempting to address those concerns through a series of concessions, including selling Sky News to Disney once the deal is complete. Separately, Disney has struck a deal to buy Fox's entertainment assets, including its stake in Sky. However, US media giant Comcast waded into the bidding in February with a £22bn offer for Sky, trumping the offer from Fox, which valued the broadcaster at £18.5bn. If Comcast wins the battle, it will not be compelled to sell off Sky News. There will now be further talks between officials at the Culture Department and Fox, Sky and Disney with the aim of finding \"an acceptable form of remedy,\" Mr Hancock said. Mr Hancock said he needed to be confident that the final undertakings ensured the continuation of Sky News's long-term financial viability, and that it could continue to operate as a major UK-based news provider making independent editorial decisions. He added that talks would start immediately \"so we can all be confident Sky News can be divested in a way that works for the long-term\". \"I am optimistic that we can achieve this goal. However, if we can't agree terms at this point, then I agree with the CMA that the only effective remedy now would be to block the merger altogether. This is not my preferred approach.\" Mr Hancock hopes to publish the result of the consultation in a fortnight. 'Good starting point' Fox said: \"We now look forward to engaging with the Department for Culture, Media and Sport and we are confident that we will reach a final decision clearing our transaction.\" Sky said it welcomed the announcement and it noted that Mr Hancock felt that undertakings provided by Fox were a \"good starting point to overcome the adverse public interest, effects of the proposed merger that he has identified\". Shadow culture secretary Tom Watson said that the approval of both bids \"means that this is not the end of the story\". He said Labour's priority going forward was to \"safeguard the future of Sky News\" which is a \"beacon for independent and rigorous journalism\". \"Were the Fox/Disney deal to fail it could leave Sky News isolated from Sky and owned by a foreign company with few news interests in the UK. It's hard to see how that would be in the public interest,\" he said. Shares in Sky ended 0.3% higher at £13.54. Comcast's offer values each Sky share at £12.50 - considerably more than Fox's offer of £10.75.",

            "input": "By Ian YoungsEntertainment & arts reporter The regular Love Island was cancelled because of coronavirus, so the 2018 Aussie series is now on ITV2 instead. And with filming on most reality shows now on hold in the UK, ITV has also started showing the US edition of The Masked Singer, while the BBC has bought the rights to Drag Race Canada. E4, which is currently repeating classic episodes of the British Big Brother, will also show Married At First Sight Australia. As far as talent shows are concerned, lockdown left Britain's Got Talent and The Voice UK viewers hanging mid-series, while the BBC's big spring singing contest starring Little Mix was pushed back. Producers are now trying to figure out how to salvage the usual autumn and winter ratings winners like The Great British Bake Off, Strictly Come Dancing, The Apprentice and I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here. Not all new reality shows have been scuppered by the lockdown, however. Channel 4 has announced a new series and a celebrity version of The Circle, in which contestants are helpfully locked away and communicate via a social media platform. \"It's basically isolation... an entertainment format that has now bled and become real life,\" TV critic Scott Bryan joked on BBC Radio 5 Live. Love Island Australia launched on Monday with almost 500,000 live viewers - 15% of the total who tuned in for the launch of last summer's series. Many were struck by the lack of diversity and levels of superficiality and bravado that put even the British version to shame, with quotes like: \"It's a deal-breaker if a guy doesn't have a boat\"; and \"I'm so good looking, I'm so pretty\". The series was on Australian TV two years ago, highlighting one drawback of airing existing series from other countries - spoilers. That's a particular danger with the second series of The Masked Singer US - a show that relies so much on mystery - which is on ITV on Saturday afternoons, eight months after it went out in the States. But TV critic Emma Bullimore says importing shows is \"a clever idea\" in the circumstances. \"In terms of entertainment shows, this has obviously been a really difficult time, as it has across the board,\" she tells BBC News. \"It is more difficult to show a repeat of Britain's Got Talent than it is to show a repeat of Broadchurch, so it seems the smart thing to do - to think, these formats have worked right across the world, why not show one of the other country's versions of the shows that we love? \"Of course we don't live in an insular world any more and there are spoilers everywhere on the internet. But if you want to watch it and enjoy it, you can choose not to look it up.\" With Big Brother, whose Best Shows Ever are on E4, it's more about indulging in nostalgia than trying not to remember who actually won. \"It was such a different piece of telly, and people have so much nostalgia and memories wrapped up in it,\" Bullimore says. \"It was fascinating to watch the first one with that Nasty Nick moment - it's so tame now compared to things that happen on reality shows, but it was so dramatic back then.\" It's not just reality shows that have been dredging up old memories - the soaps have also turned to classic moments to make up for new episodes being scaled back. EastEnders finally ran out of new episodes on Tuesday, when the programme ended with the words: \"To be continued...\" Bullimore points out that TV executives are \"not just rehashing things - there have been some really good, clever last-minute commissions\". Shows from Grayson Perry's Art Club to Jamie Oliver's Keep Cooking & Carry On and Peter Crouch's Save Our Summer have been hastily put together, with varying degrees of success. \"It's been a space for creativity and innovation,\" she says. \"But you just can't have Love Island now, you just can't have a big talent show. It's just not going to work.\" So what will become of the major entertainment shows that are due on air in the coming months? ITV said Britain's Got Talent and The Voice will pick up where they left off \"later this year\". But those live shows are unlikely to have a studio audience. I'm A Celebrity is expected to go ahead in November as usual, but it's not yet clear where and how. Bake Off normally reaches screens in late August, but filming has been delayed and a Channel 4 spokeswoman said it would start \"as soon as it is safe to do so\". Meanwhile, the BBC has \"committed\" to the return of Strictly this year, with the professional dancers set to start rehearsing remotely at the end of July. Strictly and Bake Off are both shows where some or all of the cast and crew may be required to isolate together in order to protect them from the virus. The Apprentice normally starts in October, but filming on that was delayed too, and Lord Sugar said in April that it could return in the spring, or be postponed for a whole year. Another series that's usually a fixture at the end of the year is The X Factor. But bosses accidentally pre-empted the lockdown restrictions, with Simon Cowell reportedly having decided in early February to \"rest\" it for a year. If the pandemic continues, viewers can rest easy that there's lots of TV out there to fill the schedules. Love Island alone is shown in Romania, Poland, Belgium, Sweden - and 10 other countries.

Under the previous regime decisions on development around the coast were made by the Crown Estate Commission, and any money raised was sent directly to the Treasury. The new legislation aims to give local communities more control. Most people in Scotland will have had the pleasure of building a sandcastle at some point in their lives. The question of who owns the sand and the beach it lies upon is unlikely to cross your mind, but there has been a long history of controversy about who has control over the foreshore and surrounding areas of seabed. 'Free territory' About half of the Scottish foreshore is held as part of the Crown Estate. The Crown Estate is not straightforward to define. Its property assets are owned by the Monarch in \"right of the Crown\", but this does not make them the private property of the sovereign, nor do they belong to the government. There have been many disputes surrounding this unique legal status of the Crown Estate and how the foreshore and coastal areas should be used and for whose benefit. Legal historian John Macaskill has written a book, Scotland's Foreshore, analysing these controversies. He argued that historically communities across Scotland, particularly in Gaelic speaking areas, thought these areas were in common ownership or were \"free territory\". He said that this could be seen during the disruption of the Church of Scotland in the 1840s. Dr Macaskill said: \"The ministers who left the established church to form the Free Church couldn't get land on which to build their churches so they were reduced to having services in the most odd areas. \"There was the famous floating church in Loch Sunart in Ardnamurchan and there were two or three instances of ministers from the new Free Church holding services on the foreshore because it was believed the landlords writ did not run there.\" Drunken sailors But during the 19th Century as new money making opportunities began to emerge, notably through kelp harvesting, local landowners and civil servants managing the Crown Estate began to clash over who owned and controlled the foreshore. Dr Macaskill's research also shows that some aristocratic landowners objected to the mere presence of the lower classes on the foreshore near their stately homes. Newspaper articles from the time show that their concerns included that \"fish curing establishments may be erected under their drawing room windows\" while the Earl of Selkirk demanded \"the power of excluding trespassers who might make the place intolerable to a family of females and children\". He was particularly concerned about drunken sailors going bathing and upsetting women. Following a number of court cases between the Crown and private proprietors it was established that the Crown did always have ownership of the foreshore around Scotland, although ownership could be disposed of by an express transfer to a landowner or by the landowner having a history of possession of the area. But disputes about how the foreshore was managed continued, as responsibility for the Crown estate was passed between various government departments. By the 1950s these assets were managed by the Crown Estate Commission, an organisation that often faced criticism for focusing too much on raising revenue for the Treasury and not enough on the wider public interest. These long standing grievances were examined in a report published in 2012 by MPs on Westminster's Scottish Affairs Committee. They accused the commissioners of damaging local communities by behaving like an \"absentee landlord\" and \"tax collector\". MPs backed calls for greater local control and devolution of the Crown Estate to Scotland. 'Long battle' Holyrood gained powers over the Crown Estate in 2017 and now the Crown Estate Bill going through the Scottish Parliament aims to clarify how these historic property assets should be managed. Stated aims of the Scottish government include promoting social well being and sustainable development while there are also provisions to give councils and community organisations the opportunity to directly manage these assets on a \"case by case basis\". Dr MacAskill said he hoped that these \"exciting opportunities\" for improving the management of the Crown estate in Scotland can be realised. \"The foreshore is hugely important when you live on an island and there has been a long battle between the Crown and private proprietors over ownership and over management and how management should be very much in the public interest,\" he said Dr MacAskill added: \"However, I fear not enough attention has been paid to history in discussions over the new legislation. \"I rather like a quote from Lord Bingham which paraphrased Walter Scott's Guy Mannering when he said a lawyer without history as well as literature is a mechanic and probably not a very good mechanic at that. A sentiment, which should apply not just to lawyers, but also to legislators.\"",

The CMA accused the firms of agreeing between January 2013 and June 2016 that Concordia would not launch its own version of the drug, leaving Actavis as the sole supplier to the NHS for much of that time. Pharmaceutical firm Teva confirmed Actavis UK was the subject of \"allegations of anti-competitive conduct\" from the CMA. The company declined to comment further. Concordia, formerly known as Amdipharm, said it believed the drug maker was \"not in breach of competition law\". The Canadian firm added that it was co-operating fully with the investigation and would \"respond in detail\" to the allegations. The regulator accused Actavis in December of raising the price for 10mg hydrocortisone tablets by 12,000% in eight years, from 70p to £88. Earlier that month, Pfizer and Flynn Pharma were fined nearly £90m for raising the price of an anti-epilepsy treatment, although both firms said they would appeal.",

'Anti drugs' Pathologist Dr Peter Cooper told the inquest Ms Sillifant had a \"very low level of alcohol\" in her system and was \"certainly not intoxicated by alcohol at the time of her death\". She had been taking her medication regularly but had no other drugs - including ketamine - in her system, he said. Det Con Lucy Joyce from Northumbria Police told the hearing that witnesses informed officers Ms Sillifant was \"anti drugs\" and \"nobody had witnessed her taking drugs\".

The government said it \"strongly denied\" the allegations but that settling was a \"prudent\" decision. Australia turns away any refugees and asylum seekers arriving by boat and sends them to PNG and Nauru. It says this deters migrants from attempting the life-threatening voyage to its shores in trafficking boats. But the policy has been heavily criticised both at home and internationally, including by the United Nations. The Manus case was due to be heard in the Victoria Supreme Court on Wednesday. But shortly before the trial began, lawyers for the claimants said the government and its service providers had offered a last minute settlement of A$70m. They also offered to cover costs estimated to be more than A$20m. The full details of the settlement and the financial package are yet to be fully approved by the court. Controversial policy a powerful deterrent - Hywel Griffith, BBC News, Sydney Despite the millions of dollars it has cost, and the critical headlines it has generated, the Australian government is unlikely to regret its policy of sending asylum seekers offshore. Telling refugees that they will not be allowed to enter Australia until their case has been processed seems to have been a powerful deterrent. Just yesterday the prime minister boasted that more than 1,000 days had passed without a successful people-smuggling expedition to Australia. The more pressing problem is what to do with the hundreds of refugees who remain on Manus Island and Nauru. While the US has agreed to honour a deal to consider them for resettlement, it seems unlikely that all would pass the \"extreme vetting\" procedure. And with the Manus Island centre due to close in October, time is running out for a long-term solution. The principal lawyer for the claimants, Andrew Baker, said the settlement would help them to \"put this dark chapter of their lives behind them\". But Australia's Immigration Minister Peter Dutton said the government \"strongly refutes and denies the claims made in these proceedings\". In a statement, he said that had the case gone to trial it would have cost \"tens of millions of dollars in legal fees alone, with an unknown outcome\", and the government decided a settlement was a \"prudent outcome for Australian taxpayers\". As of last year, residents were allowed to freely come and go from the facility but the debate over their resettlement is ongoing.

            "input": "The Office for National Statistics (ONS) said unemployment in Scotland for people over 16 was 4.6%, compared with a UK rate of 3.9%. Unemployment rose by rose by 30,000 to 127,000 between February and April as lockdown hit the labour market. Ministers said the figures were a clear indication of the challenge facing Scotland as a result of the pandemic. Scotland's unemployment rate has gone up from 3.5% in the previous quarter. The latest figures show England's rate now stands at 3.9%, Wales is at 3% and Northern Ireland is at 2.3%. The figures only capture the first five weeks of lockdown. Business, Fair Work and Skills Minister Jamie Hepburn said: \"These are the first labour market statistics to include a full month of lockdown measures, and show clearly the scale of the challenge facing Scotland as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. \"I know that many people will be feeling a deep sense of anxiety about their livelihoods. \"Keeping people in work while supporting those who have lost their jobs will continue to be at the heart of our thinking as we carefully reopen the economy.\" Mr Hepburn also urged the UK government to ensure its support schemes reflected what was needed in Scotland. Support packages The UK government's Scottish Secretary Alister Jack said the impact of coronavirus was clearly seen in the latest figures and \"we can expect that to continue for some time\". He added: \"The UK government is providing comprehensive coronavirus support packages to help people get through this unprecedented pandemic. \"These have saved nearly 800,000 jobs across Scotland, as well as helping people and businesses through VAT deferral, company loans and Universal Credit. \"This is in addition to the £3.8bn package already given to Holyrood to help tackle the crisis.\" There's no obvious reason why Scottish unemployment should have risen faster than other parts of the UK, the rate up by 1.1 percentage points to 4.6% of working age adults. It could have to do with exposure to the oil and gas downturn, or a bigger dependence on tourism jobs. That gap doesn't make it a trend. More notable is how closely Scottish employment and unemployment figures have tracked UK averages in recent months and years. As unemployment is expected to rise everywhere, to more than double that 4.6% rate, don't be surprised if the Scotland/UK difference is erased or reversed in the coming months. The one firm conclusion that can be drawn from today's figures is that the furlough scheme has worked well in avoiding a sharp surge in unemployment. That's at very high cost to the government, and it is probably postponing a reckoning with redundancies as it's withdrawn - under current plans - and ended by the start of November. Dr Stuart McIntyre, head of research at the Fraser of Allander Institute, said people should be \"cautious\" about drawing conclusions about the comparison between the Scottish and UK unemployment rate. \"While this is higher than the UK unemployment rate which sits at 3.9%, these numbers are estimates from a survey, and statisticians calculate a range of values around the headline estimate to reflect the associated uncertainty,\" he said. \"In this case, the range for the unemployment rate in Scotland and the UK overlap - so we must be cautious about concluding that there are big differences between these.\" Dr McIntyre said more than three quarters of a million people in Scotland were being supported by the various UK government furlough schemes. \"We are already seeing an increase in the number of planned redundancies being announced across Scotland, an increase in those receiving support through Universal Credit, and across the UK we have seen a fall in job vacancies and hours worked,\" he added. \"In the months to come, we expect to see much more substantial increases in unemployment. And those who become unemployed through this period will experience a very challenging economy in which to find new work. \"Both the UK and Scottish governments will need to be prepared with support measures for those made unemployed as the furlough schemes unwind, both to support them financially and to help them to access skills and training support.\" Protecting jobs 'top priority' Liz Cameron, chief executive of the Scottish Chambers of Commerce, said that the unemployment figures were concerning, but they \"only hint at the scale of the challenge that lies ahead\". She added: \"Protecting jobs must be a top priority. \"We continue to call on the chancellor to provide a flexible approach to the furlough scheme in Scotland. \"This includes extending it further for the hardest hit sectors such as hospitality and tourism. \"These sectors are where there is greatest risk of a jobs crisis, which will disproportionately affect young people and the low paid.\"",

In January a judge ruled the trust had discriminated against her on the grounds of her age and disability. The trust said it was disappointed by the outcome. Mrs Jolly had been working at the Royal Berkshire Hospital as a medical secretary managing a list of breast cancer patients waiting for non-urgent surgery. The tribunal heard in 2015 she had been given a \"quite short\" training session when the waiting lists were made electronic. 'Not managing effectively' In 2016 she was suspended and described being \"humiliated\" when she was told to collect her things and leave the premises. The hospital trust had accused her of not managing effectively, leading to three patients waiting 52 weeks from the date of their initial referral for surgery. But Mrs Jolly raised a grievance saying she was being treated this way because of her age and was not given an opportunity to improve her performance. The tribunal heard \"discriminatory and inappropriate comments\" were made about Mrs Jolly's age and her difficulty walking due to arthritis and her heart condition. She was also described as being stuck in \"old secretarial ways\". In his judgement employment judge Gumbiti-Zimuto ruled Mrs Jolly's dismissal had been unreasonable.

But Mr Sunak said rises for others in the public sector were being \"paused.\" This includes civil servants, teachers, police, firefighters, the armed forces, and council staff Rehana Azam, national officer of the GMB union, said the freeze \"will hit key workers who have risked everything during the pandemic\". \"This attempt to divide and rule will put him on a direct collision course with public service workers, and he should know that we fought the public sector pay cap before and we busted it,\" she said. \"GMB will not accept more pay cuts for our members at a time when the whole country is relying on them. Mark Serwotka, general secretary of the Public and Commercial Services union (PCS) said: \"Civil servants and other public sector staff will feel a deep sense of betrayal at today's pay freeze. \"Despite keeping the country running during the Covid crisis, supplying Universal Credit and helping businesses access the furlough scheme, the chancellor has justified a pay freeze by pointing to lower wages in the private sector.\" He said the news \"has intensified long-standing anger at a decade of pay restraint and increased the likelihood of industrial unrest in the public sector.\" Mick Cash, leader of the Rail, Maritime and Transport union (RMT), also warned that members will \"have no hesitation in taking strike action\", while Unison general secretary Dave Prentis said: \"This is austerity, plain and simple.\" Other union leaders also lined up to condemn the freeze, including Unite, Prospect, and the Fire Brigades Union. The Treasury has estimated that the pay announcement will directly affect 1.3 million workers, less than 25% of the total number of 5.5 million in the public sector. However, that figure mainly covers people working for central government. The total rise could be much higher if local government and devolved pay agreements are frozen. In his Spending Review, Mr Sunak highlighted a disparity between public sector and private sector wages, adding he \"cannot justify a significant, across-the-board\" pay increase for all public sector workers in the circumstances. \"Instead, we are targeting our resources at those who need it most,\" he said. He said 2.1 million public sector workers earning below the median wage of £24,000 were \"guaranteed a pay rise of at least £250\". More than a million NHS workers will also get a raise, he said.

The study is being presented at the Alzheimer's Association International Conference in London. By 2050, 131 million people could be living with dementia globally. There are estimated to be 47 million people with the condition at the moment. Nine factors that contribute to the risk of dementia These risk factors - which are described as potentially modifiable - add up to 35%. The other 65% of dementia risk is thought to be potentially non-modifiable. Source: Lancet Commission on dementia prevention, intervention and care \"Although dementia is diagnosed in later life, the brain changes usually begin to develop years before,\" said lead author Prof Gill Livingston, from University College London. \"Acting now will vastly improve life for people with dementia and their families and, in doing so, will transform the future of society.\" The report, which combines the work of 24 international experts, says lifestyle factors can play a major role in increasing or reducing an individual's dementia risk. It examines the benefits of building a \"cognitive reserve\", which means strengthening the brain's networks so it can continue to function in later life despite damage. Eve Laird, from Dumfries, is worried about dementia because her mum is living with the condition. She has decided to make some changes to her lifestyle. \"I'm terrible for eating processed foods and takeaways and I've really been trying to cut back on that. \"I definitely drink a lot more water than I used to - and I don't drink as much coffee now. \"I actually took part in the Edinburgh marathon. For that I joined the Dumfries running club - I go there once a week.\" She says she felt so much better for the exercise, and for improving her diet. \"I felt a lot healthier and mentally sharper as well. It's something I'd really like to continue, but it is hard to stay on track.\" \"I just think the small changes can make such a big difference.\" Failure to complete secondary education was a major risk factor, and the authors suggest that individuals who continue to learn throughout life are likely to build additional brain reserves. Another major risk factor is hearing loss in middle age - the researchers say this can deny people a cognitively rich environment and lead to social isolation and depression, which are among other potentially modifiable risk factors for dementia. Another key message from the report is that what is good for the heart is good for the brain. 'Positive changes' Not smoking, doing exercise, keeping a healthy weight, treating high blood pressure and diabetes can all reduce the risk of dementia, as well as cardiovascular disease, and cancer. The researchers say they did not have enough data to include dietary factors or alcohol in their calculations but believe both could be important. Dr Doug Brown, director of research at Alzheimer's Society, said: \"Though it's not inevitable, dementia is currently set to be the 21st Century's biggest killer. We all need to be aware of the risks and start making positive lifestyle changes.\" Dr David Reynolds, chief scientific officer at Alzheimer's Research UK, said: \"Alongside prevention research, we must continue to invest in research to find a life-changing treatment for people with this devastating condition.\" Follow Fergus on Twitter",

The union jack-draped coffin had arrived earlier in an escorted hearse. Meanwhile, MPs have voted to cancel PM's Questions on Wednesday, after some MPs had tried to force it to go ahead. Lady Thatcher, who died at the age of 87 on 8 April, has been accorded a ceremonial funeral with military honours, one step down from a state funeral. 'Impressive' Her body will now rest overnight in the Palace of Westminster's Chapel of St Mary Undercroft, where a service was led by the Dean of Westminster for members of the family, senior figures from both Houses of Parliament, and staff from Parliament and Downing Street. Senior figures attending included Commons Speaker John Bercow, Leader of the House Andrew Lansley, Chief Whip Sir George Young and Work and Pensions Secretary Iain Duncan Smith. Senior Liberal Democrat Baroness Williams said the service had been \"very impressive\" and \"not at all political\" but \"more about the Thatcher family\". Conservative MP Sir Gerald Howarth added that it had been \"dignified\". The chapel will be open for several hours in order that members of both Houses and parliamentary staff may pay their respects. The House of Commons Speaker's chaplain will then keep vigil through the night. Meanwhile, two MPs, Respect's George Galloway and Labour's Dennis Skinner, tried to block plans to delay the start of Commons business on Wednesday until 14:30 BST, which would cause the cancellation of Prime Minister's Questions. 'Profound mistake' Mr Galloway told MPs there was no reason to \"suspend democracy\" and said the \"British establishment is making a profound mistake\" in giving Lady Thatcher a ceremonial funeral. \"It is not a national funeral,\" he said. \"You can only have a national funeral where there is a national consensus about the person being buried. That consensus does not exist in relation to Mrs Thatcher.\" Mr Skinner said the argument was about class and that it was \"one rule for those at the top and another for those at the bottom\". But MPs voted by 245 to 15 in favour of rescheduling parliamentary business to allow MPs to attend the funeral. A debate in the Scottish Parliament on Lady Thatcher's legacy is to be postponed until after the funeral. Green Party and independent members had wanted to hold the discussion shortly after the service, but the main parties at Holyrood have agreed that it should be moved to Thursday. On Wednesday morning, Lady Thatcher's coffin will initially travel by hearse from the Palace of Westminster to the Church of St Clement Danes - the Central Church of the RAF - on the Strand. It will then be transferred to a gun carriage and taken in procession to St Paul's. The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh are among more than 2,000 people expected to attend the service. Former US Vice-President Dick Cheney and ex-Secretary of State Henry Kissinger will also be among the guests, while 4,000 police will be on duty. Barack Obama's official presidential delegation will be led by George Shultz and James Baker, who both served as secretaries of state during the Thatcher era. But Argentina's ambassador to London, Alicia Castro, has declined an invitation to attend. St Paul's has published a full funeral order of service. Westminster St Clement Danes St Paul's Downing Street Procession Westminster The funeral procession will set out from the Palace of Westminster with Baroness Thatcher's body carried in a hearse for the first part of the journey.

Baroness Thatcher's body will lie overnight in the Chapel of St Mary Undercroft which is found beneath St Stephen's Hall at the Palace of Westminster. St Clement Danes At the RAF Chapel at the church of St Clement Danes on the Strand, Baroness Thatcher's coffin will be borne in procession to St Paul's Cathedral on a gun carriage drawn by six horses of the King's Troop Royal Horse Artillery.

The ceremony in St Paul's Cathedral will be attended by the Queen and Duke of Edinburgh, family and friends of Baroness Thatcher, members of her cabinets and dignitaries from around the world. Downing Street The funeral passes Downing Street, which is found on the left of the route along Whitehall. Baroness Thatcher was resident at Number 10 for more than ten years following her General Election victory in 1979. Ceremonial procession Once the procession leaves St Clement Danes, the route to St Paul's along Fleet Street and Ludgate Hill will be lined by more than 700 armed forces personnel from the Royal Navy and Royal Marines, F Company Scots Guards, 1st Battalion Welsh Guards, and the Royal Air Force.",

It allowed players who paid about $40 (£30) to manipulate the gaming environment, generate virtual currency and use a \"god mode\" feature that makes players invincible. Tech news site Motherboard said using the cheat software \"undermines enjoyment for users playing fairly in online modes\". Under the court order, the five people, named as Christopher Anderson, Cyrus Lesser, Sfinktah, Koroush Anderson and Koroush Jeddian, are prevented from creating or using game cheats.

            "input": "By Nick ServiniPolitical editor, Wales Nick Ramsay, Antoinette Sandbach, Mohammad Asghar and Janet Finch-Saunders rebelled in a vote on the devolution of income tax. Their leader, Andrew RT Davies, had already disagreed with the then Welsh Secretary David Jones about the issue. Mr Jones has denied suggestions the move was prompted by his sacking in this week's cabinet reshuffle. A Conservative source had indicated that the reshuffle was the reason behind the AMs return to the front bench. But Mr Jones, whose place in the cabinet was taken by his former deputy Stephen Crabb on Tuesday, told BBC Wales that whoever had made such claims was motivated by \"personal spite\" against him. The former Welsh secretary said he had spoken to Nick Ramsay, Antoinette Sandbach and Janet Finch-Saunders last week, and they had all told him they were being reinstated, but that the announcement was not being made until now. Mr Ramsay has been appointed shadow finance minister, Ms Sandbach is shadow environment minister, Ms Finch-Saunders will speak for her party on local government and Mr Asghar becomes shadow minister for equalities and sport. The roles had previously been shared out among other members of the shadow cabinet. Lockstep The assembly vote which led to problems on the devolution of income tax revolved around whether the so-called lockstep should remain. This is the rule which means that if income tax was devolved then Welsh ministers would not be able to alter individual tax bands. Instead, any changes up or down would have to be mirrored across all of the bands. Mr Davies wanted Wales to have more flexibility, while Mr Jones wanted the lockstep to remain. The two men had a public disagreement over the issue. The four AMs voted against Mr Davies and were effectively sacked for siding with Mr Jones and, ultimately, siding with the prime minister because the lockstep was the policy of the party at Westminster and was the model being devolved. The affair became a major embarrassment for the party at Cardiff Bay, and made it an easy target for Carwyn Jones during First Minister's Questions. It was also said that Downing Street was unhappy with the state of affairs and the issue had led to criticism of the role played by the former Welsh secretary.",

Under the plan, they would forfeit the money unless they left when required. The Confederation of Indian Industry said it was \"highly discriminatory\" but Home Secretary Theresa May defended the \"selective\" approach to migration. The UK government says the problem of so-called \"overstayers\" is one of the biggest challenges facing the immigration system and they want to target visitors from certain countries who present the greatest risk. Although it has yet to be confirmed, it has been reported that visitors from India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Ghana and Nigeria will be required to deposit £3,000 ($4,600) for a six-month visa, to be forfeited if they don't leave when they should. 'Disappointed' The Confederation of Indian Industry, which represents the country's largest businesses, said the plan was \"very unfortunate\" and risked further undermining Anglo-Indian relations already strained by changes to the UK visa regime for students. \"We share the UK's concern on illegal immigration but surely there are other more effective and non-discriminatory ways to put a check on it,\" it said in a statement. It added that this and other recent changes threatened the \"special relationship\" that UK politicians often speak of with India. \"The industry in India is disappointed by the way the immigration rules in UK have been changing over the last few years. \"It strongly feels that such blanket rules for visas will negatively affect not only businesses, especially small businesses, it will also further bring down the number of students going to UK for higher studies and affect the tourism inflow from India to UK.\" 'Political expediency' Nigerian politicians have also criticised the plan as \"unacceptable\" and pledged to stand up for their country's interests. \"They should realise that it is not in the best interests of the UK,\" said Nnenna Elendu-Ukeje, who chairs the foreign affairs committee in the country's House of Representatives. \"It is contrary to the commitment made to our president by David Cameron during their last meeting. \"We believe it is for political reasons ahead of a general election. We seek that our long historical relationship should take precedence over political expediency.\" The Home Office said the details of the pilot scheme had yet to be finalised and the countries yet to be selected. 'Intelligence-led' But Mrs May said the move was \"the next step in making sure our immigration system is more selective\". \"In the long run we're interested in a system of bonds that deters overstaying and recovers costs if a foreign national has used our public services,\" she said. \"We're planning a pilot that focuses on overstayers and examines a couple of different ways of applying bonds. \"The pilot will apply to visitor visas, but if the scheme is successful we'd like to be able to apply it on an intelligence-led basis on any visa route and any country.\" A No 10 spokesman said the government was \"looking at ways of deterring overstaying and bonds are an option\". Indian students are already unhappy about new rules requiring graduates to find a job earning at least £20,000 to be able to remain in the UK once their studies end. Net migration The Conservatives have set a target for reducing net migration - the differences between the number of people entering the country and those leaving - to less than 100,000 by 2015. Figures published last month showed net migration fell in the year to September 2012 from 242,000 to 153,000. The Liberal Democrats and Labour have also set out their thinking on how immigration controls can be tightened, in response to what they say legitimate public concerns about migrants' impact on the economy and society in the past decade. In a speech earlier this year, Mr Clegg said the security bond was a \"useful tool\" that, if implemented fairly and properly targeted, could make the immigration system work more efficiently. The idea was floated several times by the previous Labour government but never implemented after protests at the turn of the century against plans for bonds of £3,000 and £10,000 being brought in. Home Affairs Committee chairman Keith Vaz said the plan sent the \"wrong message\" to the countries concerned and could potentially also \"alienate settled communities\" in the UK. \"There are a number of holes in the home secretary's pilot,\" the Labour MP said. \"She said she wants to deter overstayers, yet with the mess that is e-borders there is currently no way to monitor if people actually leave the country. The bond level of £3,000 is completely unrealistic. If somebody was determined to work here illegally this could be earned back in a matter of months.\"",

Yoga does not count towards the recommended physical activity that we should all do each week. Experts say it may still be beneficial. Yoga is an ancient form of exercise that focuses on strength, flexibility and breathing to boost physical and mental wellbeing. There are lots of different types of yoga - tantric, Hatha and Ashtanga to name a few - but most are not strenuous enough to count towards the 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity the government says we should get each week to give our heart and lungs a workout. Yoga does count as a muscle strengthening exercise - something the same guidelines say we should do on two or more days a week, every week. Calming Prof Myriam Hunink, from Erasmus University Medical Center in Rotterdam, set out to investigate what effect, if any, yoga might have on heart health. Compared with no exercise, yoga had significant benefits - it was linked to a lower risk of obesity, high blood pressure and raised cholesterol, the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology reports. When pitched against other types of exercise, such as brisk walking or jogging, yoga was no better or worse based on the same measures of heart risk. Prof Hunink said: \"These results indicate that yoga is potentially very useful and in my view worth pursuing as a risk improvement practice.\" It is not clear why yoga might be beneficial, but experts say it could be down to its calming effect. Stress has been linked to heart disease and high blood pressure. Maureen Talbot, senior cardiac nurse at the British Heart Foundation, said: \"The benefits could be due to working the muscles and breathing, which can bring more oxygen into the body, leading to lower blood pressure. \"A larger study is recommended though to assess the effects of yoga more fully.\" She said the benefits of yoga on emotional health were well-established.",

The first phase of the trial will be led by the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, along with the charity and Durham University. It has been backed with £500,000 of government funding. Innovation minister Lord Bethell said he hoped the dogs could provide \"speedy results\" as part of the government's wider testing strategy. The trial will explore whether the \"Covid dogs\" - made up of Labradors and cocker spaniels - can spot the virus in humans from odour samples before symptoms appear. It will establish whether so-called bio-detection dogs, which could each screen up to 250 people per hour, could be used as a new early warning measure to detect Covid-19 in the future. The first phase will involve NHS staff in London hospitals collecting odour samples from those infected with coronavirus and those who are uninfected. Samples of breath and body odour could come from a number of sources, including used face masks. Six dogs - Norman, Digby, Storm, Star, Jasper and Asher - will then go through training to identify the virus from the samples. The charity said the training could take as little as six to eight weeks. After an initial trial phase of three months, the government will decide where it believes the dogs will be most useful. One possibility is that they could be used at points of entry into the country, such as airports, to detect potential carriers of the virus. The dogs could also be used at testing centres, as another form of screening alongside swab tests. More than 10 years of research gathered by Medical Detection Dogs has shown the dogs can be trained to sniff out the odour of disease at the equivalent dilution of one teaspoon of sugar in two Olympic-sized swimming pools of water. Claire Guest, the charity's co-founder and chief executive, said she was \"sure our dogs will be able to find the odour of Covid-19\". If that proves to be the case, the dogs will then move into a \"second phase to test them in live situations, following which we hope to work with other agencies to train more dogs for deployment\", she said. Dogs have previously been trained to detect malaria from \"foot odour samples\" - in this case, nylon socks worn by apparently healthy children in the Gambia. Prof James Logan, from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, said: \"Our previous work has shown that malaria has a distinctive odour, and with medical detection dogs, we successfully trained dogs to accurately detect malaria. \"This, combined with the knowledge that respiratory disease can change body odour, makes us hopeful that the dogs can also detect Covid-19.\" The researchers have also successfully trained dogs to detect cancer and Parkinson's disease in humans.",

A government spokesman called the reports \"lies\" and said homosexual people \"simply don't exist in the republic\". Homophobia is widespread in Chechnya. The mainly Muslim region is run by Ramzan Kadyrov, an authoritarian leader with a notorious private militia, fiercely loyal to Russian President Vladimir Putin. Ms Poplevskaya told the BBC that victims - either gay or just perceived as gay - are being held at a detention centre near Argun, 20km (13 miles) from the city of Grozny. She said the LGBT Network, based in St Petersburg, was aware of \"an organised campaign to detain gay men\" in Chechnya. \"Torture is going on with electric shocks, beatings with cables. All the people arrested are homosexual men or perceived as being gay,\" she said. Three deaths have been reported. More than 30 people were crammed into one cell, she added. Despite appeals to the Russian authorities to stop the abuses, no action has been taken, she complained. Kadyrov spokesman Alvi Karimov denied the alleged persecution. \"You can't detain and repress people who simply don't exist in the republic,\" he said. Victims' hotline The gay rights group has an email hotline to help victims, or potential victims, flee to other parts of Russia. Ms Poplevskaya declined to say where those victims were being sheltered. News of the crackdown was broken by the Russian daily Novaya Gazeta, which specialises in human rights investigations. It reported that the detainees included some influential Muslim clerics close to Mr Kadyrov, and two well-known Chechen TV presenters. \"We confirm what was said in Novaya Gazeta,\" Ms Poplevskaya said, while declining to name her sources in Chechnya. Ramzan Kadyrov: Putin's key Chechen ally Putin loyalist Kadyrov unleashed on Russian 'traitors' Russia's mixed messages on LGBT Vigilantes claiming to be enforcing Muslim morals have long targeted gay people in Russia's North Caucasus. But persecution of gay people in Chechnya intensified in late February, she said. International concern LGBT Network submitted reports about the crackdown to the Russian prosecutor-general's office, the Federal Investigative Committee (SK) and federal commissioner for human rights. \"We got no response, despite all the appeals. The only thing was that the Russian ombudswoman said she would initiate an investigation. That was only after Amnesty International filed their own statement,\" she said. \"The office of the military commandant is now the unofficial detention centre for torture, near Argun. All the victims confirmed that,\" she said. But it is not a \"concentration camp\" for gays, she said, rejecting the description used in some media reports. Foreign governments and human rights groups have voiced concern about the alleged abuses, urging the Russian and Chechen authorities to stop them.

Companies will have to ensure that harmful content is removed quickly and take steps to prevent it appearing in the first place. They had previously relied largely on self-governance. Sites such as YouTube and Facebook have their own rules about what is unacceptable and the way that users are expected to behave towards one another. Self-governance YouTube releases a transparency report, which gives data on its removals of inappropriate content. The video-sharing site owned by Google said that 8.8m videos were taken down between July and September 2019, with 93% of them automatically removed by machines, and two thirds of those clips not receiving a single view. It also removed 3.3 million channels and 517 million comments. Globally, YouTube employs 10,000 people in monitoring and removing content, as well as policy development. Facebook, which owns Instagram, told Reality Check it has more than 35,000 people around the world working on safety and security, and it also releases statistics on its content removals. Between July and September 2019 it took action on 30.3 million pieces of content of which it found 98.4% before any users flagged it. If illegal content, such as \"revenge pornography\" or extremist material, is posted on a social media site, it has previously been the person who posted it, rather than the social media companies, who was most at risk of prosecution. But that may now change. So if the UK has previously mainly relied on social media platforms governing themselves, what do other countries do? Germany Germany's NetzDG law came into effect at the beginning of 2018, applying to companies with more than two million registered users in the country. They were forced to set up procedures to review complaints about content they were hosting, remove anything that was clearly illegal within 24 hours and publish updates every six months about how they were doing. Individuals may be fined up to €5m ($5.6m; £4.4m) and companies up to €50m for failing to comply with these requirements. The government issued its first fine under the new law to Facebook in July 2019. The company had to pay €2m (£1.7m) for under-reporting illegal activity on its platforms in Germany, although the company complained that the new law had lacked clarity. European Union The EU is considering a clampdown, specifically on terror videos. Social media platforms face fines if they do not delete extremist content within an hour. The EU also introduced the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) which set rules on how companies, including social media platforms, store and use people's data. It has also taken action on copyright. Its copyright directive puts the responsibility on platforms to make sure that copyright infringing content is not hosted on their sites. Previous legislation only required the platforms to take down such content if it was pointed out to them. Member states have until 2021 to implement the directive into their domestic law. Australia Australia passed the Sharing of Abhorrent Violent Material Act in 2019, introducing criminal penalties for social media companies, possible jail sentences for tech executives for up to three years and financial penalties worth up to 10% of a company's global turnover. It followed the live-streaming of the New Zealand shootings on Facebook. In 2015, the Enhancing Online Safety Act created an eSafety Commissioner with the power to demand that social media companies take down harassing or abusive posts. In 2018, the powers were expanded to include revenge porn. The eSafety Commissioner's office can issue companies with 48-hour \"takedown notices\", and fines of up to 525,000 Australian dollars (£285,000). But it can also fine individuals up to A$105,000 for posting the content. The legislation was introduced after the death of Charlotte Dawson, a TV presenter and a judge on Australia's Next Top Model, who killed herself in 2014 following a campaign of cyber-bullying against her on Twitter. She had a long history of depression. Russia A law came into force in Russia in November giving regulators the power to switch off connections to the worldwide web \"in an emergency\" although it is not yet clear how effectively they would be able to do this. Russia's data laws from 2015 required social media companies to store any data about Russians on servers within the country. Its communications watchdog blocked LinkedIn and fined Facebook and Twitter for not being clear about how they planned to comply with this. China Sites such as Twitter, Google and WhatsApp are blocked in China. Their services are provided instead by Chinese providers such as Weibo, Baidu and WeChat. Chinese authorities have also had some success in restricting access to the virtual private networks that some users have employed to bypass the blocks on sites. The Cyberspace Administration of China announced at the end of January 2019 that in the previous six months it had closed 733 websites and \"cleaned up\" 9,382 mobile apps, although those are more likely to be illegal gambling apps or copies of existing apps being used for illegal purposes than social media. China has hundreds of thousands of cyber-police, who monitor social media platforms and screen messages that are deemed to be politically sensitive. Some keywords are automatically censored outright, such as references to the 1989 Tiananmen Square incident. New words that are seen as being sensitive are added to a long list of censored words and are either temporarily banned, or are filtered out from social platforms.

And he promised to back the regulator Ofwat in tightening up rules to protect bill-payers and the environment. The industry body Water UK responded that the companies were dealing firmly with issues that threatened trust. But Mr Gove’s speech to a water industry conference must have made uncomfortable listening. He complained that water firms had paid out almost all of their £18bn profits to shareholders, instead of re-investing it in mending leaks and protecting the environment. And he named names: The boss of United Utilities taking home £2.8m a year; the head of Severn Trent, £2.4m. The secretary of state said last year Anglian and Southern paid zero corporation tax, whilst Thames has paid no corporation tax for a decade. He suggested: \"Some of their best brains appear to be as intent on financial engineering as much as real engineering.\" Mr Gove promised to back recommendations from the regulator Ofwat due to be published in April – and said he would not hesitate to increase the pressure. He told the firms: \"You may be private companies, but you have a responsibility to the public who can’t take their custom elsewhere.\" The politician complained that three billion litres of water still leak out every day - and said the figure has barely improved in the past four years. He said there had been no investment in new nationally significant supply infrastructure, such as major reservoirs, since privatisation. Craig Bennett from Friends of the Earth welcomed the comments but said Mr Gove could do much more himself to improve management of water. \"Defra are not doing enough,\" he told BBC News. \"They are still allowing new houses on flood plains – and there is constant backsliding on the need to use water more efficiently.\" Dr Matt Prescott from the Environmental Rating Agency told BBC News: “The environmental problems with the industry are a signal of financial problems \"We need effective regulation – it’s clearly not happening at the moment. Politicians can’t just have an obsession with bills.\" Dr Prescott said that during the recent prosecution of Thames Water at Aylesbury Crown Court they found that the Environment Agency did not have direct access to independently sourced pollution monitoring data. Instead, they had to rely on to water companies to self-monitor pollution levels discharged from sewage works. \"We think these forms of self-regulation should stop,\" he said. Water UK Chief Executive Michael Roberts countered that companies were putting public interest first. \"Water is fundamental to all of our lives, and companies fully understand their clear responsibility to act in the public interest,\" he said. \"For me, that boils down to doing the right thing in the right way, and tackling issues where they arise, because we want to maintain the high levels of trust our customers have for us. \"We know that they trust us, because more than eight out of 10 of them say so in our private polling. \"We should not lose sight of that as we address some of the issues that critics have raised.

This can lead to gender stereotyping and turn girls away from studying science subjects as often as boys. \"No woman should feel that their gender is a barrier to their success,\" the government said. The guide, Opening Doors, to be presented at a conference hosted by the IoP, also urged teachers to reflect on their own language to ensure they are \"not inadvertently transmitting negative messages\". It is based on the results of interviews with staff and young people in 10 schools in England. 'Patchy knowledge' It acknowledged that all schools had policies to counter racist, homophobic and sexist language placed \"somewhere\" on their websites. But, in general, teachers' awareness was very patchy, it said, adding that sexist language was treated less seriously than the other two. Homophobic attitudes survived in some schools, with cases cited of \"students being deterred from taking subjects traditionally associated with the opposite gender because they were worried about homophobic bullying,\" it added. The report said: \"The senior leadership team would assert there was no problem with sexist language, only for the classroom teachers to refer to some cases and the students to report that it was an everyday reality.\" The chair of the conference, Dame Barbara Stocking, said: \"We know we have a problem with gender stereotyping of subjects in schools. \"This is particularly an issue for girls in maths, physics and engineering, boys in modern foreign languages and a general underperformance in GCSE grades.\" 'Empowered' Interestingly, the report referred as much to the gender stereotyping of boys as much as girls. It said: \"Lack of confidence and resilience can present a barrier for girls taking subjects perceived to be the most challenging and boys can get caught up in a culture of not working hard.\" The Department for Education said the report was a useful one but stopped short of saying schools should adopt its recommendations. These included calls for a gender champion to be appointed in school leadership teams and ensuring that sexist language is as unacceptable as racist and homophobic language. It also called for a strict policy to ensure that all subjects are presented equally to students in terms of relative difficulty. A DfE spokesman said: \"This Government wants young women to feel empowered to make choices about what they do with their life including their choice of career. No woman should feel that their gender is a barrier to their success and nor should they face stereotyping at any stage of their lives. \"Getting more girls into careers in science, technology and engineering is a key priority for this government, and is why we are encouraging more women to study STEM subjects - helping bridge a gap in our future economy and getting them on the path to some of the highest paid careers.\" In June, Royal Society scientist Sir Tim Hunt had to resign from his post as honorary fellow of University College London, after comments he made about girls working in laboratories. He said: \"Three things happen when they are in the lab: you fall in love with them, they fall in love with you, and when you criticise them they cry.\" The British biochemist, who was knighted in 2006, said the remarks were \"intended as a light-hearted, ironic comment\" but had been \"interpreted deadly seriously\" by his audience.",

Team members raised concerns about the volume of high-risk cases in 2016, three years after a grooming gang was jailed for abusing girls. Telford council said it spent an extra £200,000 last year to tackle abuse. The town has been in the spotlight since the Sunday Mirror published a report about \"groups of mainly Asian men\" targeting vulnerable white teenagers in the town since the 1980s. A Telford & Wrekin Council report found specialist youth workers in the Cate (Children Abused Through Exploitation) team were spending a \"disproportionate amount of time\" taking children to GP or sexual health clinic appointments. They were meant to meet with girls considered to be at high risk of sexual exploitation two or three times a week. But, due to their workloads, they were unable to meet this target. The specialist youth workers flagged concerns around \"decreased capacity\" and said there was no time to train other organisations in how to tackle child sexual exploitation. Police offered to pay for help from children's charity Barnardo's so its staff could take on lower-risk cases but this had not happened, the report found. The committee which compiled the document, to look at how abuse was being tackled in Telford, said it had particular concerns about resources against a backdrop of \"dramatic\" public sector cuts. It was written after seven men were jailed following West Mercia Police's Operation Chalice. More than 100 girls could have been targeted by the gang between 2007 and 2009, police believe. One victim told how she was abused at a \"rape house\" and the town's Conservative MP Lucy Allan has said white working-class girls were being traded for sex in a \"routine way\". \"Holly\" - a victim of exploitation in the town from the age of 14 - told the Victoria Derbyshire programme she went to a sexual health clinic for the morning-after pill twice a week for three years, but no-one ever asked her any questions. She said she was beaten with a belt and sold \"two or three times a night\". Calling for an independent inquiry, Ms Allan said the cases would not have happened had the victims been from different backgrounds. Adele Gladman, an independent safeguarding consultant, said: \"As a country, England is becoming reactive rather than proactive. \"I think we have a far greater problem with CSE in England than in Wales or Scotland. The long-term impacts are going to be extraordinary.\" Chris Cowan, director of school theatre group Loudmouth, which works in Telford, said: \"Over the last 15 years things have changed and are getting worse in many areas. \"There used to be many different funded organisations that offered support in the community from youth clubs and centres to community centres or hubs and Sure Start centres. \"There were more outreach workers who would know the young people in an area and were an on hand source of support and would see or hear what was going on.\" Meanwhile, the head of Telford's safeguarding children board claimed there was \"no evidence\" grooming gangs were still operating in Telford. 'Completely incorrect figure' Chairman Andrew Mason, said he feared \"misrepresentation\" could mean children suffering abuse did not come forward. \"The reason we are hitting the headlines is because we are so open and talk about the work we are doing.\" He disputed up to 1,000 children had been victims. \"It doesn't help anyone having these figures banded around when they are a completely incorrect figure. \"It gives the impression to children that are being abused that authorities don't care and we're not good at what we do, which will discourage them from coming forward and is a poor outcome for everyone involved.\" A spokesman for West Mercia Police and Crime Commissioner said more than £80,000 had been given to Barnardo's this year and last year to help tackle exploitation in the force area. Barnardo's said that money was only for work in Herefordshire and Worcestershire and not Telford, in Shropshire, as there was a Cate team already operating there. Telford & Wrekin Council said current workloads within its Cate team were at recommended levels. It added the team now offered training to other organisations.",

It pointed to racism as a possible link between the lower qualifications achieved by ethnic minority students, despite more entering higher education. Students and staff have until 15 February 2019 to submit evidence. The EHRC is a public body in England and Wales which promotes and enforces equality and non-discrimination laws in the UK. It hopes the inquiry will show how widespread racism on university campuses is and what can be done to tackle it. What has happened this year? There have been several racism-related incidents at universities in 2018 which have made national news headlines. In May, a WhatsApp group at Exeter University was uncovered which, alongside jokes about rape, included racial slurs about other students. \"Ignorant jokes are one thing, and genuinely appearing to have some form of prejudice towards people of colour is a total other thing,\" student Arsalan Motavali told Radio 1 Newsbeat at the time. Later that month a student was banned from the University of Warwick for life after racist and misogynist messages from a Facebook group were made public. Another two were banned for 10 years and other members from a group of 11 were suspended for their involvement with the group. Also this year a 19-year-old student from Nottingham Trent University was fined £200 and ordered to pay £500 compensation after admitting to chanting \"we hate the blacks\", saying the phrase was just banter between friends. 'There is no place for it in society' \"Racial harassment of any kind is abhorrent, divisive and entirely unacceptable,\" says David Isaac, the chair of the commission. \"There's no place for it in society and the level that we have seen occurring within universities is particularly concerning.\" Publicly-funded universities will be required to provide details about how they respond to individual instances of racial harassment. The investigation launches on 4 December 2018 and runs until 15 February 2019. The EHRC will be looking for students and staff to share their experiences of racism to help compile their report.

Councils had previously been criticised for the speed they had been rehousing Syrian refugees. But the WLGA said the criticism had been unfair. The UK government has pledged to settle 20,000 Syrians in the UK by 2020 under the scheme. But in August it was reported that only nine of Wales 22 councils had taken part up to the end of June. The WLGA has now confirmed to the assembly's equality committee that all authorities will have received refugee families into their areas, with over 300 refugees resettled in Wales by the end of December. In a written submission to the committee ahead of verbal evidence to AMs on Thursday, it said: \"While there has been some criticism of local authorities for not responding quickly enough, for those authorities with limited experience, making sure appropriate plans were in place to ensure a well-managed resettlement process was key.\" \"As such, we believe the criticism levelled has been unfair and in the main, the smooth way in which the arrival of refugees has been undertaken has borne out the benefit of effective planning.\" Oxfam Cymru had been previously critical of the speed that councils were taking refguees from Syria. Kirsty Davies-Warner, head of the charity, said \"We are encouraged by the clear change in pace of the resettlement of Syrian refugees to Wales. \"It's terrific to see that every local authority within Wales will welcome refugee families from Syria - showing that Wales is providing a truly national response.\" The Welsh Government does not deal with immigration and asylum policy, which is instead handled by the Home Office, but it is responsible for many of the services that support refugees and asylum seekers. It has a delivery plan which lists a series of actions in areas including mental health and housing that it wants to see implemented. But the WLGA said while those who work on relevant issues may be aware of the plan's existence, \"there are no established mechanisms through which Welsh Government raises awareness of the delivery plan with authorities or specific departments\". As a result, it said some organisations may not made be aware of the actions required of them, but it said many of the issues included in the plan were being addressed. A Welsh Government spokeswoman said its refugee and asylum seeker delivery plan published in March 2016 had already led to positive changes but it would update it with information on new schemes as they developed.",

The first allegation was made in October by Anthony Rapp, who said Spacey made advances towards him when he was 14 and Spacey was 26.

Asked what was to blame for a lack of social mobility the Daily Telegraph quoted him saying: \"The feminist revolution in its first-round effects was probably the key factor. \"Feminism trumped egalitarianism. It is not that I am against feminism, it's just that is probably the single biggest factor.\" A spokesman at Mr Willetts' department said they had not disputed the quotes in the article. The newspaper reported Mr Willetts as saying there had been an \"entirely admirable transformation of opportunities for women\" which meant that \"with a lot of the expansion of education in the 1960s, 70s and 80s, the first beneficiaries were the daughters of middle-class families who had previously been excluded from educational opportunities\". 'Problems' And he added: \"If you put that with what is called 'assortative mating' - that well-educated women marry well-educated men - this transformation of opportunities for women ended up magnifying social divides. \"It is delicate territory because it is not a bad thing that women had these opportunities, but it widened the gap in household incomes because you suddenly had two-earner couples, both of whom were well-educated, compared with often workless households where nobody was educated.\" Yvette Cooper, who is both shadow home secretary and shadow minister for women and equalities, criticised the comments and said they should be withdrawn. She said: \"Now we see why this Tory-led government is hitting women twice as hard as men. Instead of addressing the problems and disadvantages low-income families face, senior Tory ministers have decided women and feminism are to blame.\" She added: \"David Willetts should quickly withdraw this rubbish and face up to the real problems his policies are causing for young people and women who want to get on.\" Mr Willetts made a similar case in his book, published last year, titled The Pinch.",

But with the collapse of the deal and expected loss of jobs ends months of cooperation. One source involved in the talks described them over the summer as the \"best example since devolution of governments working together\". Part of that success was built on a good relationship between the new Welsh Secretary Stephen Crabb - the refinery is also in his constituency - and the Welsh Economy Minister, Edwina Hart. Just last week, Mr Crabb described Mrs Hart as \"a very practical pragmatic person - the kind of person I enjoy doing business with\". UK ministers have not always been so complimentary. Timeline 1973 Refinery opened in Milford Haven by Amoco 1981 Murco became a partner and the site has a major upgrade 2010 The plant is first put up for sale March 2014 Reports talks between Murco's owner Murphy Oil and London-based private equity fund Greybull Capital over a sale are at \"an advanced stage\" 3 April Murphy Oil announces it is entering into consultation with staff on the future of the plant, after the talks break down, as First Minister Carwyn Jones announces plans to visit the site to see if jobs can be retained 11 April Milford Haven Enterprise Zone chair Lord Bourne, a lawyer and former Welsh Conservative leader, is appointed to lead a task force of UK and Welsh government representatives, Murco and trade unions aiming to prevent the refinery's closure 31 July Swiss-based Klesch Group confirms it has signed a purchase agreement for the site after Preseli Pembrokeshire MP Stephen Crabb, newly appointed Welsh Secretary, brings the two parties together 10 October The firm is cleared to buy the refinery by the European Commission 4 November It emerges the deal has collapsed and only around 60 of the 400 refinery staff will remain when the site is converted to a storage and distribution facility, Mr Crabb says \"it does feel very much like it's reached the end point\" The political will to keep Milford open didn't stop there - the Energy Secretary, Ed Davey, has been involved throughout, as has First Minister, Carwyn Jones, with 10 Downing Street taking an interest too. Much of the work was done on the phone, with Mr Jones, Mr Davey and Mr Crabb all in contact over the weekend. There were several late nights trying to save the deal. \"I genuinely don't believe there is anything more that could have been done from the UK or Welsh government side to hold this together,\" said Mr Crabb, the MP for Pembrokeshire. 'Big hole' He told BBC News Online he did not know yet why the deal had collapsed, and that there was a lot of confusion as it had appeared last week that the deal to sell it had been done. \"The Murco oil refinery was the largest employer - private sector employer - in my constituency,\" he said. \"There are 400 high quality jobs at the plant and many many more jobs supported in the local community. \"The loss of those jobs will leave a very big hole in the economic activity of west Wales, and it will take a number of years for the local economy to recover\". During Prime Minister's Questions, David Cameron expressed his disappointment, promising his government would continue working with Murco \"to find employment opportunities for all those who work there\". Mrs Hart said Murco had been \"integral to the the fabric of the oil and gas infrastructure in Wales and the Welsh economy for many years\". She pledged support for the refinery and its staff \"will not stop here\". \"We will all continue to work tirelessly with Murco management to maximise the opportunities for employment at the site, ensure the ongoing viability of the terminal and assist to find a new owner.\" 'Energy-rich' Liberal Democrat Wales Office minister Baroness Randerson said the UK and Welsh governments had made every effort to secure the future of the refinery and it is was \"regrettable that ultimately a buyer has not been able to reach a deal with Murphy Oil\". \"Supporting the staff at Murco is now our immediate concern and we stand ready to assist in any way we can,\" she added. For Plaid Cymru, Mid and West Wales AM Simon Thomas described the collapse of the deal to buy the refinery as \"devastating for employees, their families and the local community\" and warned its impact would be felt \"in the wider Welsh economy\". He added: \"Wales is an energy-rich country and can be a world leader again.\"",

BBC News website readers have been sharing their experiences of time and how it affects them when they interact and work with people across different time zones. Libby and Edward Fisher, UK and Australia: Keep in touch with family Libby Fisher, in the UK, regularly contacts her brother in Australia: Having seen my brother only twice in the last three years, I've become adept at keeping in touch across two different time zones. Currently, he is in Australia where the 11 hour time difference means it can be difficult to chat as he is winding down at the end of the day and I am just about ready to get the day started. Weekends are generally perfect though, particularly if it is Sunday morning in the UK and Sunday evening in Australia as it gives enough time for a good catch-up. By comparison, keeping in contact with my brother when he was in China was slightly easier with an eight hour time difference. During the week, it is more difficult to keep in touch with someone in either Australia or China, as one person is trying to get out to work and the other is coming in from a long day, so keeping in touch via Facebook, email and text is much more convenient, although a bit impersonal. The best way to keep in touch is to visit. I went to visit my brother in China and have a trip planned to Australia in the summer. Visiting friends and family across the world is really the best way to keep in touch. Edward Fisher speaks to his family in the UK from Australia: Living in Australia but having family back in the UK is quite strange, because yes we are separated but at the same time we still maintain close links. It became obvious early on that I was going to have limited contact with my family because of the different times zones. My family and I solved this by emailing, and generally allowing a few days to respond. If it's more urgent, or just wanting to catch up, we do call each other, but either we call first thing in the morning or last thing at night. We also try to pre-arrange our phone calls by email and plan a conversation schedule. It's no surprise that whoever is calling in the morning generally wants to spend the whole day talking, while the other frequently yawns on the other side! If things are more urgent or if we just want to say a quick hi, then we send text messages. Because of today's technology and good internet access being in a different time zone doesn't mean that my family are far away. John Perry, Saudi Arabia: Keeps in touch with work I am currently working in Riyadh where the working week is Saturday through Wednesday, with Thursday and Friday as the weekend. I have been travelling to this area for thirty years and have never got used to the first day of the week being Saturday. It sounds very wrong to say \"see you on Thursday\", meaning \"see you at the weekend.\" Trying to communicate with someone back home can be a little difficult as there are only three working days that we have in common with the UK - Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Coupled with this is the fact that we are currently +3 hours ahead of GMT. So 0900 on a Monday morning in the UK is midday Monday here. The only times when we can communicate effectively are 0900 to 1300 Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, in other words, 12 hours per week. This caused considerable problems for me recently when I needed access to legal advice. I was asked a question by my solicitors on Wednesday. I didn't see this email until Saturday when I replied directly. My solicitor didn't see my reply until midday my time Monday morning - thus an urgent matter was delayed by four days. Transferring money via international banks can also have the same delay, meaning money can disappear for four days while it navigates two sets of weekends. As we are working in a \"global\" market - people need to understand that we work in different time zones and have different working weeks. Of course, when working for an American based company, things get far worse - I have been told to attend video conferences at 0300. It is one thing for a manager to expect their staff to be at work when they are, but when one's manager is in the US and you are in Saudi Arabia, things are a little different! Tim Roach, Ontario, Canada: One place many times When I worked in the High Arctic in the 1970s we were located geographically in the Mountain Time Zone but all of our communications were with Resolute Bay and Winnipeg so officially we were using Central Time. However, our meteorological observations and twice daily balloon releases were co-ordinated on a world wide basis and set to Greenwich Mean Time. In order to match mealtimes to the periods between balloon flights we set our living schedule to Atlantic Time. All of this was only possible because we had 24 hours of daylight in summer. Megan, UK: Playing online games across time zones Role-playing games such as Dungeons and Dragons have entertained hordes of folks for years. We play in groups and create an alternate reality devising and playing characters in a fantasy world. We describe what characters are doing and saying by rolling a strange-shaped dice. We gather in each others homes and meet up at conventions to play, but with the growth of the internet other options have opened up. Many games are now played by e-mail or in forums on discussion boards, but whilst these can be fun, nothing quite beats actually talking and interacting with other players in real-time which we can now do via the internet. I'm currently running a game for two lovely people in America who are prepared to get up early in the morning so that we can play together. It can take some complex scheduling to make sure everyone is around at the same time to play, and being in different time zones doesn't help, but when it all comes together it can be a blast!",

City council leaders and Amey, the company carrying out the work, said the 40-year-old tunnels need the work and total closure is the best way to get the job done. However, the president of Birmingham's Chamber of Commerce is planning to boycott the city centre and said he expected the closure of the tunnels to lead to gridlock on the city's already-busy roads. So what do the closures mean for people travelling into the city? Why are the tunnels closing? This year's revamp will be the first large-scale work done on the tunnels since they were built in the 1960s and 1970s. They are undergoing two major facelifts, closing them completely for six weeks this summer and next. On top of that, the tunnels were shut overnight for four weeks before the complete closure and will close between 22:00 and 06:00 BST for another two weeks once they reopen. There will also be more overnight closures next year. During the 2013 work, engineers will reinforce the tunnels' structures, improve fire escapes, coat the tunnels with fireproof material, install new lighting and generally try to improve their appearance. Next year the work will concentrate on electrics within the tunnels - installing new emergency and communications systems, CCTV and controls to alter the lighting. The city council said traffic levels were up to 20% lighter during school holidays and working on both the tunnels during the day and night for six weeks would be cheaper than just closing them overnight or working on them one tunnel at a time. At any one time during the full closure there will be 200 members of staff working on the tunnels during night and day. Do they need to be completely closed? Amey said it had looked at different options involving keeping the tunnels partially open, including closing them in the evenings and weekends. However, the company said that would take a minimum of 25 weeks to complete and affect things like visitors coming to the city for Christmas shopping. Full closure means the work can be contained during the six weeks of the school holidays. Amey said it would be checking progress on a daily basis and would \"do everything in its power\" to complete the work as quickly as possible. It said it would also aim to keep noise from the work to a minimum to avoid disturbing nearby businesses. How will it affect drivers? Diversions have been put in place but drivers have been advised to avoid the area around the tunnels altogether if possible - and not to rely on satnavs, which could lead them in the wrong direction. Greg Hallsworth, from traffic monitoring company Inrix , said that although there would be less traffic during the school holidays, an average of about 85,000 vehicles use the tunnels each day. He said he predicted the busiest junctions while the work is carried out would be Paradise Circus, St Chad's Circus and Lancaster Circus. Amey has produced a guide to how to get to places such as the Bullring, Birmingham Children's Hospital, New Street station and the Hippodrome. However, it advises motorists the best move is to ditch their cars altogether in favour of various other options: How will it affect Birmingham? According to Steve Brittan, the president of the Birmingham Chamber of Commerce, the tunnel closures will mean \"absolute chaos\". \"Birmingham's roads are bad enough at the best of times,\" he said. \"But having the two main tunnels closed for all that time will just be horrendous.\" He said he would be boycotting the city centre and be holding any meetings he has to attend elsewhere. \"I think what I'm doing is very public-spirited and it would help Birmingham during those six weeks if other people did the same - avoid the city centre wherever possible.\" He said although he does not think shops in the city centre will be too badly affected during the six weeks, he believes some businesses, including restaurants, will suffer. \"I think shopping in the city centre for many people is a one-off every now and then and they'll be prepared to come in by train for that experience,\" Mr Brittan said. \"But many people won't bother going into town for restaurants, they'll just stay locally instead.\" Congestion hotspots The emergency services said they had been working with the city council, Amey and transport organisations since the idea of closing the tunnels was first discussed. West Midlands Ambulance Service said all of its crews knew which areas were affected, and where the congestion hotspots were likely to be. Its city centre-based drivers are already proficient in negotiating their way around the alternative routes in the area, a spokesman said, which they regularly have to do whenever there is an accident on one of the main roads. Eddie Price, from the Wholesale Traders' Association, said he did not expect the closures to have a significant effect on the market. He said traders mostly used the city centre roads between 02:00 and 06:00 and so were finished by the time rush-hour traffic normally started to build. Amey said it was working with West Midlands Police and would have dedicated \"traffic management teams\" to inspect the full diversion routes at least every two hours. A spokesman for Network Rail said it was confident Birmingham New Street railway station would be able to cope with people choosing to take the train instead of driving. \"As it's during the school holidays we have significantly fewer passengers anyway,\" he said. \"And even though the building work [at New Street] is still ongoing, we now have much more space than we did before the new entrance opened in April.\" But the tunnels' closure is not seen as bad news by everyone. Shopping Tamworth tweeted earlier this month: \"Birmingham city centre tunnels closed from 19th July to 2nd September, traffic chaos, stay local, shop local, shop #Tamworth\" However, a spokeswoman for Tamworth Borough Council said it fully supported the work being carried out by Birmingham City Council and did not intend to capitalise on any trouble caused.",

            "input": "By Natalie ShermanBusiness reporter, New York Speaking at a Nato summit on Tuesday, Mr Trump said he had \"no deadline\" for striking an agreement with Beijing. The remarks suggested another round of China tariffs - due 15 December - might become reality, sending US shares to their largest losses in weeks. It comes amid fresh trade disputes with France, Brazil and Argentina. For more than a year the US and China have been locked in a bitter trade battle that has seen both sides impose tariffs on billions of dollars worth of each another's goods. But while the uncertainty has dampened economic growth in the US and abroad, Mr Trump - a self-declared \"Tariff Man\" - has appeared content to let the spat roll on, despite the odd hint he might compromise. \"It creates chaos and instability and he thrives on that in some ways,\" said Jennifer Hillman, a senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations and a former US trade official. \"The question being raised is, 'are we really trying to get to a solution with China or is this really all about raising tariffs?'\" Investors were cheered when Mr Trump seemed to drop a plan to hit European cars and car parts with import duties earlier this month. There were also hopes that the US and China might strike a limited \"phase one\" deal to avert the 15 December round of tariffs, which will affect a wide range of consumer goods, including Apple products, clothing and Christmas lights. But on Tuesday the president said he liked the idea of \"waiting until after the election\" to make a pact with Beijing, adding: \"We'll see whether or not there's a deal. It's got to be right.\" The main US indices fell roughly 1% on the remarks, which were echoed by US Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross on broadcaster CNBC. \"It's our job to try to get a proper deal done,\" Mr Ross said, though he added there is still a possibility that the president would suspend the looming tariffs. Widening fight The comments follow a series of other protectionist moves by the president this week. On Monday, Mr Trump made a surprise announcement on Twitter that he would restore tariffs on Brazilian and Argentine steel and aluminium. The office of the US Trade Representative on Monday also said it might increase the tariff rates on $7.5bn worth of European goods, already planned as punishment for Airbus subsidies. And it announced it was readying higher import taxes on roughly $2.4bn worth of French goods, including Champagne and Roquefort cheese, in retaliation for a digital services tax. Mr Trump's trade actions - some of which raise legal questions - ensure he remains the centre of attention, while diverting talk from more pressing political problems, Ms Hillman said. The president is currently facing impeachment proceedings in the House of Representatives over claims he improperly sought help from Ukraine to boost his chances of re-election in 2020. \"I think he thinks it makes him look tough, it makes him look unconventional and it focuses all the attention on his actions,\" she said. Looking to 2020 Whether Mr Trump's strategy will win politically remains to be seen. Mr Trump's concerns about China are widely held in Washington, providing little political incentive for him to back down. And while the fights have hit farmers - a key constituency for Mr Trump - polls suggest their support remains resilient. Michelle Erickson-Jones is a fourth-generation wheat farmer from Montana, who is working with Farmers for Free Trade, a lobby group that opposes tariffs. She said farmers are aware of the monumental changes the Trump administration is trying to achieve with China and are focused instead on trying to secure other deals, like the US-Mexico-Canada Agreement, which the three countries completed last year but has yet to pass Congress. \"While we don't have time or much more patience with China, it's just the reality of what we're looking at,\" she said.",

            "input": "The mother signed a contract with her son in 1997, when he was 20 years old, stating he would pay her 60% of his monthly income after qualifying. She took him to court after he refused to pay her for several years. The son argued it was wrong to demand a financial return for raising a child, but the court ruled the contract valid. He has been ordered to make back payments, as well as interest, to his mother. 'Responsibility to provide' The mother, identified only by her surname Luo, raised both her sons after she and her husband divorced. Ms Luo said she had spent hundreds of thousands of dollars funding both her sons through dentistry school, but became worried they would be unwilling to care for her in old age. Subsequently, she signed a contract with both of them stipulating they would pay her a portion of their earnings as repayments for the school fees, up to a total of $1.7m. The elder son reached an agreement with his mother and settled the contract for a smaller amount, local media report. However, the younger son, identified by his last name Chu, argued that he was very young when he signed the agreement, and the contract should be considered invalid. Mr Chu also argued that he had worked in his mother's dental clinic for years after graduating and had helped her make more than the amount he was now ordered to pay her. A Supreme Court spokeswoman told the BBC the judges had reached their decision mainly because they thought the contract was valid since the son was an adult when he signed it and was not forced to do so. Under Taiwan's civil code, adult offspring have the responsibility to provide for their elderly parents, although most parents do not sue if their children fail to take care of them in old age, the BBC's Cindy Sui in Taipei reports.

We have special bodies, and a special connection based on the physical experience we had.\" Ellie is 21 and Belgian. Her German partner, Nele, is 24. Both took testosterone to become more masculine, and they had their breasts removed in double mastectomy surgery. Now they have detransitioned, and live again as female - the gender they were assigned at birth. \"I'm very happy I didn't have a hysterectomy,\" reflects Nele. \"It means I can stop taking hormones, and my body will return to looking feminine.\" Last year, they both made the decision to end their use of testosterone and start using the female pronouns \"she\" and \"her\" again. Slowly their own natural oestrogen has begun to re-feminise their bodies. \"I'm very excited to see the changes,\" says Ellie. Their faces have softened, their bodies become curvier. But years of taking testosterone has had one profound, irreversible effect. \"My voice will never come back,\" says Nele. \"I used to love singing and I can't sing any more - like my voice is just very monotone, it works very differently. When I call someone on the phone, I get gendered as male.\" The stories of these two young people are complex. They may not be typical of people who have transitioned to another gender. And they are not a judgement on the decisions of other trans people, be they trans men, trans women or non-binary. Ellie does not remember being uncomfortable as a girl when she was a child. But that changed as she became adolescent. \"I realised I was doing a lot of boy things, and some people weren't fine with that - especially other kids. I remember being called things like 'hermaphrodite'.\" Tall and athletic, Ellie's love of basketball was identified as, \"a boy thing\" too. At 14, she realised she was attracted to other girls, and later came out to her parents. \"I was dating girls and happy about it,\" she says. Then Ellie told her sister she was a lesbian. \"My sister told me she was proud of the woman I was becoming. And somehow that rang a bell for me. And I remember thinking, 'Oh, so I'm a woman now? I don't feel comfortable with that.' It wasn't that I wanted to be a boy - I just didn't want to be a woman. I wanted to be neutral and do whatever I wanted.\" At 15, Ellie believed becoming a woman might limit her choices in life. For Nele too, growing up female was not fun. \"It started with puberty, when I was around nine years old - with getting breasts before I even realised what it means to have them. My mother forbade me from going outside bare-chested. We had a lot of fights because I was like, 'Why can my brother go out bare-chested?' Obviously, my mother wanted to protect me, but I couldn't understand at the time.\" As Nele matured, there were also lecherous men to contend with. \"I experienced a lot of catcalling. There was a street next to mine, and I couldn't go down there without a man hitting on me. I'm slowly realising now that I internalised all of that - that I was perceived in society as something sexy, something men desire, but not a personality.\" With her body developing fast, Nele saw herself as too large. She would later develop an eating disorder. \"Too fat, too wide - the thoughts about needing to lose weight started very early.\" Nele was attracted to women, but the thought of coming out as a lesbian was terrifying. \"I really had this image that I would be this disgusting woman, and that my friends wouldn't want to see me anymore because they'd think I might hit on them.\" At 19, Nele came out as bisexual - that seemed safer. But the experience of unwanted male attention and the discomfort she felt with her female body stayed with her. Nele fantasised about removing her breasts. Then she learned trans men get mastectomies. \"And I was like, 'Yeah, but I'm not trans.' And then I was like, 'Maybe I could fake being trans?' And then I was doing a lot of research and I realised a lot of those things trans men say are very similar to what I experienced - like 'I always felt uncomfortable with my body, and as a kid I wanted to be a boy.'\" Find out more Listen to Ellie and Nele in The Detransitioners She2He2She on the BBC World Service - click here for transmission times Or catch up here with the first episode - He2She2He The distress trans people feel because there is a mismatch between their gender identity and their biological sex is called gender dysphoria. Nele thinks her own dysphoria began around this time. \"I thought, actually, 'I don't have to fake being trans. I am transgender.'\" Nele could see only two options - transition or suicide. She sought help from a transgender support organisation. They sent her to a therapist. \"When I arrived, I was like, 'Yeah, I think I might be trans.' And he directly used male pronouns for me. He said it was so clear I'm transgender - that he's never been as sure with anyone else.\" Within three months, Nele was prescribed testosterone. Ellie too became determined to access male hormones - in her case when she was just 16. \"I watched some YouTube videos of trans guys who take testosterone, and they go from this shy lesbian to a handsome guy who is super-popular. I liked thinking of myself having that possibility - it felt like I should have a male body.\" But being so young, she needed parental approval for any medical intervention. The first doctor she visited with her parents said Ellie should wait - she thought that was transphobic and found another medic who was positive about her desire to transition. \"He told my parents that all the effects were reversible - which is the biggest lie. I had done my research, and I knew that this doctor could not be trusted. But I was just so happy that he said that, because then my parents were OK with it.\" Ellie's dad, Eric, was worried about the impact testosterone would have on his child's health, but the doctor reassured him. \"We were still in shock from having a girl who wanted to be a boy,\" he remembers. \"And the doctor said hormones would be better for her.\" Eric and Ellie's mum felt all at sea in this new world of changing genders. \"I would've liked to have met someone to give me the words and find arguments to make her wait and think about it longer, but there was no-one,\" he reflects. At first, testosterone made Ellie feel emotionally numb. Then she felt much better. At 17, she had a double mastectomy. Later, she graduated from high school, and left Belgium to go to university in Germany. Transitioning to male had not ended Nele's feelings of despair. She was still suicidal, and her eating disorder was manifesting itself in extreme calorie-counting, and an obsession with her diet. Nele began to think testosterone was the only good thing in her life - and she still wanted a mastectomy. But she did not feel she could be totally honest with her gender therapist. \"I was very ashamed of my eating disorder. I mentioned it in the beginning, but I didn't dare talk about it more because of the shame - I think that's normal with eating disorders.\" Nele was worried her transgender treatment might be halted if there was any doubt about her mental health. \"It's a very tricky situation in Germany, because the therapist is the one who gives you the prescriptions for hormones and for surgery.\" There are few studies exploring the link between eating disorders and gender dysphoria. One review of the UK's Gender Identity Development Service in 2012 showed that 16% of all adolescent referrals in that year had some kind of \"eating difficulty\". But bear in mind that most referrals are young people assigned female at birth - natal girls, as they are called, who are more vulnerable to eating disorders than their natal male counterparts. Brian and Daniel have been on a similar journey to Ellie and Nele but from a different starting point. Both were assigned male at birth, transitioned to female, and later detransitioned to become male again. Some clinicians have suggested that eating disorders develop as a response to gender dysphoria, says Anastassis Spiliadis, a UK-based psychotherapist who treats patients with eating disorders and gender identity issues. The theory is that if you treat the gender distress, the eating disorder will diminish. This can happen, but it is not what Spiliadis has seen among many of his clients - natal females in their 20s who, like Nele, are detransitioning. \"They thought transitioning to a different gender would alleviate the eating disorder and the dysphoria, but things have been much more complex. They regret the decision to take testosterone and have surgery. But what's really worrying is that some of them still have an eating disorder.\" He believes someone who is suffering from anorexia or bulimia may not be equipped to make irreversible health decisions. \"We know that eating disorders affect people at a bio-psychosocial level. Those who are medically and physically, but also cognitively compromised might have a distorted view of themselves or their bodies.\" Spiliadis believes good practice in this field should mean screening young people with gender identity issues for eating disorders. And because they are life-threatening, eating disorders should be treated before responding medically or surgically to the distress caused by gender dysphoria. As a new student and trans man in Germany, Ellie thought her own dysphoria was a thing of the past, and she was getting on with life. \"I was passing as a man - I was passing so well. I got so many comments from people telling me my transition was such a success, because they couldn't tell I was trans.\" But an ambivalence about her male identity crept in. \"I started to feel like I had to hide so many aspects of my life, and not talk about my childhood as a girl. I didn't feel comfortable being seen as a cis man, and I started to feel like I didn't fit in anywhere.\" Transgender or trans - a person whose gender identity differs from their assigned sex at birth Cisgender or cis - a person whose gender identity does not differ from their assigned sex at birth Non-binary - a person who doesn't identify as only male or only female Pansexual - a person attracted to others regardless of their sex or gender identity Beyond 'he' and 'she': The rise of non-binary pronouns Dating was problematic. \"I wasn't comfortable dating women because I didn't want to be taken for a straight guy. And this discomfort I had with my own body parts… Well, I started to see female bodies as less good-looking, less valuable in a way.\" Ellie began to be attracted to men and identified as pansexual. \"I think that came about because of internalised misogyny. But I never really felt any connection with any cis men. Then I thought, maybe dating another trans man would make me feel close to someone and attracted at the same time.\" Did it work? \"It totally worked!\" So Ellie went on a dating app and met Nele - who was not especially looking for romance with another trans man. \"But it was definitely a plus when I started texting with Ellie. We share a lot of experiences, and I feel very comfortable around her.\" After a first date in Düsseldorf, their relationship moved swiftly. Nele got the go-ahead for a long-desired mastectomy, and Ellie was a great support. The couple moved into a flat together. And it was around this time that Ellie, a gender studies student, became interested in the culture war between trans activists and radical feminists that often erupts in the social media ether. She started to question whether she was really transgender. \"Or is this just a way I found to go through life?\" she wondered. Ellie and Nele had intense discussions about their own identities. And there was something else - both were diagnosed with vaginal atrophy, a soreness and dryness commonly found in menopausal women, but also a side-effect of taking testosterone. The remedy was oestrogen cream. \"But it didn't really help,\" says Nele. \"And I thought, 'I'm putting my body full of hormones, when my body can make those on its own.'\" Ellie felt the same way. \"Isn't it worth trying to go natural for a bit, and just see how it goes?\" she thought. That is when they stopped taking testosterone. But the decision to detransition was daunting. \"I was afraid of ending the hormones and going back to my body. I didn't even know my natural body because I transitioned so early,\" says Ellie. \"The thought of going back was scary, because I transitioned to escape my problems. Detransitioning means facing the things I never managed to overcome,\" says Nele. There is little academic research about detransition. The studies that have been done suggest the rate of detransition is very low - one put the proportion of trans people who return to the gender they were assigned at birth at less than 0.5%. But so far, researchers have not taken a large cohort of transitioning people and followed them over a number of years. \"The longitudinal studies just haven't been done,\" says Dr Catherine Butler, a clinical psychologist at the University of Bath. \"But on social media - for example on Reddit - there's a detransitioning group that has over 9,000 readers. There will be academics like myself who are part of that, but even so, it is a huge number of people.\" The lack of academic research in this area has an impact for those re-thinking their gender journeys. \"It means there aren't guidelines or policy that informs how statutory services can support detransitioners. So they've had to self-organise, to establish their own networks,\" she says. And that is what Nele and Ellie did. Using Nele's skills as a professional illustrator, they created post-trans.com - an online space where people like them can get in touch and share their experiences. Both of these young people are conscious of how stories of detransition have been used by transphobic organisations and commentators to invalidate the experience of trans and non-binary people, and attack their hard-fought access to health care. Neither Ellie nor Nele deny the rights of trans people. They do, however, question whether transition is always the right solution. Now, just months into their detransition, they are adjusting to life as female and lesbian. And so are their friends and family. \"It was hard for her to call us and tell us,\" says Eric, Ellie's father, who is still getting used to using female pronouns for his once-again daughter. \"It's not black or white for me. I knew from the start when she first transitioned she would never be a man - she never had the idea of having the complete operation. So now it's a new in-between somewhere, but it's always her.\" So does his daughter regret her choices - her mastectomy, for example? \"All those physical changes I experienced during my transition helped me develop a closer relationship with my body - they're just part of my journey,\" says Ellie. Nele is similarly sanguine. \"Bodies change through ageing and accidents - I don't feel sad my breasts are gone.\" Neither plans to have reconstructive surgery. More difficult sometimes is the experience of once again being gendered as female - especially by men on lonely station platforms at night, who might be a threat. \"Because if he perceives me as a man, I wouldn't feel that… But if I'm seen as a woman, maybe I'm in danger and have to watch out,\" says Nele. But her experience - from \"she\" to \"he\" and back to \"she\" again - has also had a positive impact, especially on Nele's career. \"I always perceived myself as, 'Well, I'm just a girl who draws - I couldn't be a professional, self-employed illustrator.' And then I transitioned to become a man, and suddenly I was like, 'Oh, I can do those things.' It's something I hear a lot, that trans men feel more confident. I had the same experience. So I will take that and keep it.\" Ellie and Nele boarded a gender rollercoaster when they were still teenagers. It has not been an easy ride. Now they are moving on, looking forward to life - perhaps with the addition of some pet cats. Ellie and Nele approve of the use of female pronouns to refer to them throughout their lives, including when they were living as trans men.

But education sector groups said the government \"is wasting an opportunity\" to help university students. Ministers also set out plans to improve post-16 vocational education including student loans for adult learners. The DfE also launched a consultation on changing the timetable for applying to university - to a so-called \"post-qualification admissions\" system. This would mean admissions being based on the grades achieve by students, rather than not relying on predictions. Fees and grants The government outlined its plans for higher education reforms for over-18s in response to a landmark review, commissioned by the government from finance expert Philip Augar. Its recommendations were published in May 2019. Planned reforms include making £2.5bn available for technical qualifications for adult learners through the National Skills Fund, a lifelong student loan entitlement for up to four years of higher education and the prioritising of funding for STEM subjects. But the Augar review's recommendations to reduce tuition fees to £7,500, alongside implementing reforms to minimum entry standards and foundation years at universities, were not addressed in this latest response. The DfE said given the pandemic \"now is not the right time to conclude the review in full\". Any further reforms are expected to be announced at the next Spending Review. Mr Augar also suggested the return of maintenance grants for poorer university students as part of his review, but there was not mention of this in the interim response. University and College Union general secretary Jo Grady said: \"Sadly this interim response confirms that there will not be a radical change to the current system. \"The Westminster government is wasting an opportunity to make a real difference for students and institutions.\" Prof Julia Buckingham, president of Universities UK , welcomed the prospect of lifelong loans, saying \"it is encouraging to see government's commitment to making lifelong learning opportunities more accessible to all\". However, Prof Buckingham said \"government should provide maintenance grants for those who need them the most, including those considering studying shorter courses on a modular basis\". Meeting local needs As part of its Skills for Jobs White Paper, published alongside higher education reforms, the DfE said it wanted to \"put an end to the illusion that a degree is the only route to success and a good job and that further and technical education is the second-class option\". A white paper is a policy document produced by the government to set out their proposals for future legislation. The measures put forward include: In December, the government announced that tens of thousands of adults without an A-level or equivalent would be able to benefit from nearly 400 fully-funded courses from April. It was the first major development in Prime Minister Boris Johnson's Lifetime Skills Guarantee (LSG) scheme, which was launched in September. Mr Johnson said it would mean \"everyone will be given the chance to get the skills they need, right from the very start of their career\". Education Secretary Gavin Williamson said: \"These reforms are at the heart of our plans to build back better, ensuring all technical education and training is based on what employers want and need, whilst providing individuals with the training they need to get a well-paid and secure job.\" British Chamber of Commerce director general Adam Marshall welcomed the plans to put the skills needs of businesses at the heart of further education. \"As local business leaders look to rebuild their firms and communities in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, it is essential to ensure that the right skills and training provision is in place to support growth,\" he added. Funding concerns But organisations representing school and college leaders are also sceptical that there is enough funding for the further education sector to deliver on the proposals. In November, an the Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) said FE colleges and sixth forms faced significant financial uncertainty. Chief executive of the Association of Colleges David Hughes said: \"Colleges have been calling for this, after years of being overlooked and underutilised, but government has to not only recognise the vital college role, it also needs to increase funding.\"",

The Brexit secretary's comments come amid a row over the rising cost of the project, which could reach £106bn. The first phase of the project is due to link London and Birmingham, followed by extensions to Leeds and Manchester. Mr Barclay was asked by Andrew Marr for his \"gut feeling\" about whether the HS2 would be approved. \"Yes\", he replied firmly. He said the government had given a \"clear commitment to level up all parts of the United Kingdom... HS2 plays an important part in that\". That levelling up was not just about improving the speed of transport, but also improving capacity in the UK. Mr Barclay stressed, though, that it was \"important that we also get value for money\". Earlier this month, a leaked government-commissioned review suggested the total cost of HS2 could reach £106bn. The findings of the independent review, conducted by former HS2 Ltd chair Doug Oakervee, have not yet been officially published. The Department for Transport has indicated it will be published soon. Lord Berkeley, a vocal critic of HS2 who was deputy chairman of the Oakervee review before withdrawing his backing, published an independent assessment of the project. He put the cost at at least £108bn, adding that the government should scrap the project to concentrate on improving the rail network in the north of England. That drew criticism from northern political leaders and businesses, who said HS2 should be built in its entirety. Whitehall's spending watchdog said last week that HS2 is over budget and behind schedule because its complexity and risks were under-estimated. The National Audit Office (NAO) warned that it is impossible to \"estimate with certainty what the final cost could be\". HS2 was allocated £56bn in 2015. Phase One between London and Birmingham was due to open in 2026, but full services are now forecast to start between 2031 and 2036. Construction firms have warned that scrapping HS2 would cause major damage to the industry, while several environmental groups say going ahead with the project will have a huge impact on natural habitats and ancient woodland. The Sunday Telegraph reported that former senior figures involved in HS2 have given signed statements to the prime minister's advisers, alleging the government-owned firm behind HS2 covered up spiralling costs on multiple occasions. In a statement, HS2 responded: \"Following the collapse of Carillion, HS2 Ltd recognised the need to engage a healthy industry while continuing to protect value for money for the taxpayer. \"Instead of artificially passing risk back and forth, as has happened on other publicly-funded projects, contractors who do not meet the required performance will lose a proportion of their fee. \"This incentivises good performance and also prevents windfall profits from public money.\" The statement said that by revising the terms and conditions, \"contractors have been able to reduce their prices and HS2 Ltd estimates £1bn of savings as a result\". By Peter Saull, BBC political reporter: HS2 is the talk of Westminster at the moment. Will it get the go ahead or come off the rails? Or somewhere in between? Perhaps unsurprisingly, the government is at pains to avoid saying what might happen next. Ministers don't want to pre-empt the findings of the Oakervee review, which despite a series of leaks, is yet to be officially published. Steve Barclay has gone further than any of his Cabinet colleagues by revealing he has a hunch that the project will get the green light. But it's unclear how much insight he has. While the Brexit secretary has a seat at the Cabinet table for now, he might not be there for too much longer. The Department for Exiting the EU will be wound up following the UK's departure this week. Ultimately the decision on HS2 lies with Boris Johnson, in consultation with his chancellor and transport secretary.",

            "input": "By Reeta ChakrabartiEducation correspondent, BBC News Hye-Min Park is 16 and lives in the affluent Seoul district of Gangnam, made famous by the pop star Psy. Her day is typical of that of the majority of South Korean teenagers. She rises at 6.30am, is at school by 8am, finishes at 4pm, (or 5pm if she has a club), then pops back home to eat. She then takes a bus to her second school shift of the day, at a private crammer or hagwon, where she has lessons from 6pm until 9pm. She spends another two hours in what she calls self-study back at school, before arriving home after 11pm. She goes to bed at 2am, and rises in the morning at 6.30am to do it all over again. How on earth does she cope with such a punishing schedule? \"I get tired usually but I can forget about my hardships when I see my results, because they're kind of good!\" She says she would like to get more sleep but it's her job to overcome it. To get the qualifications to follow her dream career as a teacher she has to work hard she says, and besides she likes studying, and learning new things. Extra tuition Hye-Min is not alone. For South Korean teenagers a double shift of school, every week day, is just a way of life. South Korean parents spend thousands of pounds a year on after-school tuition, not a private tutor coming to the home once or twice a week, but private schooling on an industrial scale. There are just under 100,000 hagwons in South Korea and around three-quarters of children attend them. Hye-Min's mother Yoon-Gyeong Hwang says she worries about her daughter, but they have no choice when it comes to having to compete. \"Korea has few natural resources, we don't even have much land, the only resource we have is people. So anyone who wants to be successful really has to stand out. As a mother I don't feel comfortable about this kind of situation, but it's the only thing she can do to achieve her dream.\" This relentless focus on education has resulted in formidable exam performers. Snap test How would they compare with pupils who take the GCSE in England, Wales and Northern Ireland? As a quick test, a group of six teenagers - 15 and 16 year olds - from Ga-rak High School, Hye-Min's school, tried several questions from one of this year's GCSE maths papers. All of them finished the questions in half the expected time, four scored 100%, the other two dropped just one mark. They then went on to do some more questions just for fun. It's the sort of performance that makes education ministers in the UK and beyond look on with envy, and has them actively remodelling the curriculum and exams to try to emulate them. The huge investment in education has also resulted in an economy that's grown at an astonishing rate since the end of the war with North Korea 60 years ago. South Korea has in two generations gone from mass illiteracy to being an economic powerhouse. Brands like Samsung and Hyundai, Daewoo and LG are internationally known. The country has built itself up through the sheer hard graft of its people. But it's come at a big cost. The relentless pressure means Korea holds another much less enviable record, that of having the highest suicide rate of industrialised OECD countries. The most common form of death for the under-40s is suicide. The government understands the pressure, and in 2008 a curfew of 10pm was imposed on hagwons in Seoul. The Education Minister Nam Soo Suh said the government was trying to redress the balance: \"Korea has achieved miraculous growth within a short period of time. I think no other country has achieved such rapid growth within a half century as Korea. And naturally, due to that, we focused on and emphasised achievement within schools and in society, so that students and adults were under a lot of stress, and that led to high suicide rates. \"We still have a long way to go but we are doing some soul-searching in our society, and our goals now are about how to make our people happier.\" Prof JuHo Lee, himself a former education minister, and now an academic at the KDI think-tank in Seoul, says intensive education may have been right while Korea was growing its economy, but now it's time for a new strategy. \"Test scores may be important in the age of industrialisation, but not anymore. So we look into the ways to reform our education system, not based on test scores, but based on creativity and social and emotional capacities,\" says Prof Lee. South Korea's success is built on an extraordinary work ethic that has delivered rich economic rewards, but that's exacted a heavy price from its people and particularly its children. It's a price the country is now gradually starting to weigh up.",

            "input": "By Conor MacauleyBBC NI Agriculture & Environment Correspondent Cathal Ellis, a renewable energy expert with the department, told an inquiry the suggestion had no foundation. It emerged the department understood the very generous nature of tariffs eight months after its 2012 launch. Its officials attended a 2014 event that showed a £36,000 boiler had earned £35,000 in subsidy in its first year. However, none of that information was shared with officials in the Department of Enterprise who were responsible for running the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) scheme, the public inquiry has heard. Calculations done by agriculture officials in July 2012 established that the payback period on investment in RHI boilers could be just over two years. No reason Mr Ellis, who is now retired, said he did not know why the calculations had not been passed on. He said he had neither the \"background or knowledge\" to take it upon himself to do so. He also denied a suggestion by inquiry chair Sir Patrick Coghlin that agriculture officials kept the figures to themselves because their \"interest was with the farmers\". \"Absolutely not, We had no reason to do so,\" Mr Ellis replied. The calculations had been worked up by colleagues in the Department of Agriculture using statistics from two farms which had been accredited to a previous biomass scheme offered by it. It showed that had the £25,000 biomass boiler been in the RHI scheme it would have generated more than £11,000 a year in subsidy. Flag-up concerns Mr Ellis said his understanding was that the tariff had been set with the additional capital cost of biomass boilers and the hassle costs of running them in mind. He said his expertise was with technical matters rather than finance or policy and it would not have been his job to flag concerns to colleagues in the Department of Enterprise. Mr Ellis said the payback periods and the income generating potential of the subsidy had been included in presentations he delivered at events which Enterprise officials also attended in 2013 and 2014. It also included a case study which showed the installation of six boilers on a single poultry site. The inquiry was told that the Department of Agriculture had promoted RHI at 58 events between November 2011 and October 2015 which were attended by 2,358 people. Mr Ellis said many of those events were general renewable energy seminars and not specifically about the RHI scheme. The inquiry was told that agriculture officials had visited the farm of John Gilliland in December 2014. 'Pure profit' Mr Gilliland was an early adopter of biomass technology and runs a wood chip business. Several of his boilers were not in the scheme, but one which was had cost £36,000 and generated £35,000 in subsidy in its first year. Inquiry counsel Donal Lunny said it should have been clear that if the subsidy was repaying the capital cost of the boilers in one to two years, then the remainder of the 20 year term would be \"pure profit or overcompensation\". Sir Patrick Coghlin said he could not understand why short payback periods had not started \"alarm bells of considerable volume ringing\" with officials in agriculture. \"The impression I'm getting is that it was simply very good for farmers, and very good for mushroom growers and poultry people and `let's keep it going`.\" With respect to poultry businesses with a payback period of three years on investment, he asked: \"This may be useful heat so far as the birds are concerned but is it a useful way of using public money?\"",

The minutes come a week before the ONS publishes its first estimate of UK economic growth for the three months to the end of March. The Bank minutes showed policymakers thought there was still a risk of \"weak price pressures persisting for longer than would be consistent with bringing inflation back to target within two years\", despite evidence that the eurozone economy was beginning to show signs of improvement. But on a more upbeat note, Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) members thought it was unlikely that economic growth could continue at its current pace for long without generating greater inflation in wages and prices.

The British warship, which went down in a storm in 1744 killing more than 1,000 sailors, could contain gold coins worth an estimated £500m. The Sunday Times says the Maritime Heritage Foundation is set to manage the wreck's raising. It also reports that the charity will employ Odyssey Marine Exploration to carry out the recovery. The American company found the ship four years ago, with the ship's identity confirmed by a bronze cannon. The newspaper says the guns and other reclaimed artefacts will be displayed in British museums, but under the laws of salvage Odyssey is likely to receive the bulk of any treasure found. A Ministry of Defence spokeswoman said: \"Efforts to protect key parts of British Naval history such as the wreck of HMS Victory 1744 are very welcome and we hope to make an announcement shortly.\" 'Great maritime mystery' The chairman of the foundation, Lord Lingfield, is a relative of Admiral Sir John Balchin, who was onboard the warship when it sank. The Tory peer, formerly known as Sir Robert Balchin, told the newspaper that he would not profit from the ship's cargo. He added: \"We will have the satisfaction of solving a great maritime mystery that has been part of my family history since the 18th Century.\" The 174ft 9in (53m) ship was discovered by the Florida-based firm in May 2008, nearly 65 miles (100km) from where it was historically believed to have sunk. At the time, the company's chief executive, Greg Stemm, said: \"HMS Victory was the mightiest vessel of the 18th Century and the eclectic mix of guns we found on the site will prove essential in further refining our understanding of naval weaponry used during the era.\" The Dutch financial publication, Amsterdamsche Courant, reported on 18 November 1744, a month after the ship sank: \"People will have it that on board of The Victory was a sum of 400,000 pounds sterling that it had brought from Lisbon for our merchants.\" It was also thought that large quantities of silver and gold coins would have been on board HMS Victory from enemy prize ships captured by Balchin, worth £120,000 at the time. In a report, the exploratory company said only a cannon, marked with the crest of King George I, has been recovered so far. The remains of the ship's hull, an iron ballast, two anchors, a copper kettle and rigging have been spotted on the sea bed.",

The householder and young men, two 16-year-olds and a 15-year-old, have not been identified by law enforcement. No charges have been filed yet. The homeowner involved has been taken in for questioning. Rockdale County Deputy Lee Thomas said the teenagers were killed \"during an exchange of gunfire\". One was found dead when police arrived on scene, while the other two died at a local hospital. Police said the teenagers \"had their faces covered as they approached the residence\" and that one of the suspects \"brandished a handgun and fired shots at the residents before one of the intended robbery victims returned fire\". The resident and two individuals with him were unharmed in Monday's incident. WSB TV reported that the homeowner is a man and that he owns a semi-automatic rifle. One neighbour, Brian Jenkins, told the station he heard a man yelling during the incident, saying: \"Help me, I'm dying\". Neighbour Carlos Watson told CBS News he heard \"a lot of shots, and it was back and forth... it wasn't just one person shooting\". \"I saw a gentleman laid out after I heard somebody scream for help,\" Mr Watson added. He said police \"responded quickly\". Rockdale County Sheriff Eric Levett said when officers arrived on scene they found the masked young men lying on the ground and administered first aid. \"It could be a 'stand your ground' type case,\" Mr Levett said on Monday. What is 'stand your ground'? The stand-your-ground law in particular establishes the right for people to defend themselves, with lethal force if necessary, if they believe they are under the threat of bodily harm or death. It overturns previous legal principles that dictate a person should retreat before using any force to defend themselves. But the law also states that legal protections cannot be given if the person instigated the altercation. In Georgia, if the initial attacker retreats and is then shot at, stand-your-ground is not a solid defence. A majority of states have some form of \"stand your ground\" law. Critics argue it has led to more shootings and has made it harder for some criminals to be prosecuted. Opponents also believe that a racial disparity exists in the law's enforcement. Three separate academic studies have concluded that white people are more successful at using stand-your-ground defences against black attackers, compared with the same situation vice-versa. The law came under intense scrutiny following the fatal shooting of unarmed black teenager Trayvon Martin in 2012.",

            "input": "By Jamie McIvorBBC Scotland education correspondent Several councils have told BBC Scotland there has been a drop in the number of supply teachers registered locally. Scotland's biggest teaching union, the EIS, claimed the situation is at crisis point. It argued the main reason is a cut to the amount some supply teachers are paid. Another reason may be that more young teachers are now getting full time jobs so are not available for supply work. Whatever the precise cause, the practical impact can be a serious challenge. At Marr College, a secondary school in Troon, three of the eight English teachers are currently off. It has proved impossible for South Ayrshire Council to get adequate supply cover. So first, second and third year students are not getting as many English lessons from an English teacher as they should be. Instead other teachers - such as modern language teachers - are looking after some English classes as a temporary solution. English teachers The council hopes to recruit three full-time English teachers - who'll initially be used to cover the gaps at Marr College - within the next few weeks. Most supply teachers are called in to cover for a few days when a regular teacher falls sick or goes on a training course. Protracted problems quite as severe as the one at Marr College are likely to be relatively uncommon although the EIS said it has \"significant anecdotal evidence\" from members about secondary schools where children are not being taught by subject specialists. Nationally the EIS believes more than a third of supply requests and are not being met and that students are losing out. General secretary Larry Flanagan said: \"That means that pupils are not being taught by subject specialists or they're in extended assemblies or sometimes they're sitting in the canteen being supervised because no teacher is available.\" Mr Flanagan believes a substantial cut in the rate of pay for supply teachers who are engaged for less than 5 days has had a significant impact. They get around half the daily rate given to teachers called in for longer. Problems providing cover can be most acute in rural or remote areas or with specialist subjects at secondary schools. BBC Scotland contacted all 32 Scottish councils and a number said they had noted a drop in the number of supply teachers registered with them. Edinburgh said there had been a reduction in their ranks from about 950 last August - to 775 this year. But the council says it has been actively trying to find replacements for the registered and doesn't expect problems this year. Subject specialisms Stirling Council said: \"We are currently experiencing difficulty in the primary sector and also in with subject specialisms such Physics, Maths and Home Economics in secondary sector.\" Perth and Kinross Council said: \"The change in terms and conditions for supply staff has reduced the numbers that are available and we are currently trying to recruit supply staff. The availability of supply staff has further been restricted by providing cover for a higher than normal number of maternity leave. \"The main impacts are the amount of time head teachers and deputes are spending covering primary classes, and in secondary schools that subject classes may not always have a subject specialist available.\" East Ayrshire said it had experienced some difficulties, particularly in remote rural areas and some specific subjects. West Dunbartonshire said: \"Over the last few years we have noticed that there is less availability on our teacher supply list. As a result of this we advertised last year and also refreshed our list to ensure that it reflected people available for work. \"As with all other authorities we are experiencing difficulties in obtaining supply staff - especially within particular subjects in the secondary sector.\" As well as pay, there are several possible reasons for the drop in the number of supply teachers - one of them the unfortunate by-product of what most would see as a positive development. More newly-qualified teachers are now securing permanent positions so cannot do supply work. In the past, more may have joined the supply register because they could not get a full-time teaching job. 'Impact of pay agreement' Another reason may be changes to the curriculum. Some supply teachers may have dropped out because of these. And, of course, some supply teachers have simply retired. But what might help solve the problem? Many councils are actively trying to recruit more supply teachers while improvements to workforce planning could help sort out gaps caused by planned absences such as maternity leave. Neighbouring councils might also be able to work more effectively to co-ordinate their banks of supply teachers. Education Secretary Michael Russell said: \"The Scottish Government has tackled teacher unemployment by cutting student teacher numbers, leading to an improving picture across the country. \"However, we recognise that there are challenges in relation to supply teachers, including the impact of the last pay agreement negotiated through the Scottish Negotiating Committee for Teachers (SNCT). \"We continue to involve teaching unions and other stakeholders in workforce planning discussions with a view to ensuring that we have the right number of teachers for our schools the length and breadth of Scotland. \"I am on record as having said that the SNCT needs to look at the supply situation again, and I understand that, while negotiations are on-going, there is a new pay agreement on the table which will address this specific issue.\" The current pay offer from Cosla means supply teachers would start to be paid at a higher rate after three days instead of five. In the meantime practical problems caused by specific shortages - such as those at Marr College - continue.",

            "input": "By Leo KelionTechnology desk editor It says Starcraft 2 had posed a tougher AI challenge than chess and other board games, in part because opponents' pieces were often hidden from view. Publication in the peer-reviewed journal Nature allows the London-based lab to claim a new milestone. But some pro-gamers have mixed feelings about it claiming Grandmaster status. DeepMind - which is owned by Google's parent company Alphabet - said the development of AlphaStar would help it develop other AI tools which should ultimately benefit humanity. \"One of the key things we're really excited about is that Starcraft raises a lot of challenges that you actually see in real-world problems,\" said Dave Silver, who leads the lab's reinforcement learning research group. \"We see Starcraft as a benchmark domain to understand the science of AI, and advance in our quest to build better AI systems.\" DeepMind says that examples of technologies that might one day benefit from its new insights include robots, self-driving cars and virtual assistants, which all need to make decisions based on \"imperfectly observed information\". How do you play Starcraft 2? In one-on-one games, two players compete against each other after choosing which alien race to be. Each of the three options - Zerg, Protoss and Terran - has different abilities. Players start with only a few pieces and must gather resources - minerals and gasses - which can be used to make new buildings and create technologies. They can also invest time increasing their number of worker units. Gamers can only see a small section of the map at a time, and they can only point the in-game \"camera\" to an area if some of their units are based there or have travelled to it. When ready, players can send out scouting parties to reveal their enemy's preparations, or alternatively go straight ahead and launch attacks. All of this happens in real-time, and players do not take turns to make moves. As the action picks up pace, gamers typically have to juggle hundreds of units and structures, and make choices that might only pay off minutes later. Part of the challenge is the huge amount of choice on offer. At any time, there are up to 100 trillion trillion possible moves, and thousands of such choices must be taken before it becomes apparent who has overwhelmed the others' buildings and won. How did DeepMind approach the problem? DeepMind trained three separate neural networks - one for each race of aliens it played as. To start with, it tapped into a vast database of past games provided by Starcraft's developer Blizzard. This was used to train its agents to imitate the moves of the strongest players. Copies of these agents were then pitted against each other to hone their skills via a technique known as reinforcement learning. They also created \"exploiter agents\", whose job it was to expose weaknesses in the main agents' strategies, so as to let them find ways to correct them. Prof Silver likened these subsidiary agents to \"sparring partners\" and said they forced the main agents to adopt more robust strategies than would otherwise have been the case. This all took place across 44 days. But because the process was carried out at high speed, it represented about 200 years of human gameplay. The resulting three neural networks were then pitted against human players on Blizzard's Battle.net platform, without their identity being revealed until after each game, to see if they would triumph. What was the result? The lab said its neural networks attained Grandmaster status for each of the three alien races - the ranking given to the top players in each region of the world. But it acknowledged there were still about 50 to 100 people who still outperform AlphaStar on Battle.net. Is this really about developing AI to fight wars? DeepMind has pledged never to develop technologies for lethal autonomous weapons. Prof Silver said the work on Starcraft 2 did not change that. \"To say that this has any kind of military use is saying no more than to say an AI for chess could be used to lead to military applications,\" he added. \"Our goal is to try and build general purpose intelligences [but] there are deeper ethical questions which have to be answered by the community.\" It is noteworthy that after DeepMind beat South Korea's top Go player in 2016, the Chinese military published a document saying the achievement highlighted \"the enormous potential of artificial intelligence in combat command\". Beijing subsequently announced its intention to overtake the US and become the world's leader in AI by 2030. What do gamers think? Raza \"RazerBlader\" Sekha is one of the UK's top three Starcraft 2 pros. He played as a Terran against AlphaStar and also watched its matches against others. He said the neural networks were \"impressive\", but suggested it still had quirks. \"There was one game where someone went for a very weird [army] composition, made up of purely air units - and AlphaStar didn't really know how to respond,\" he recalled. \"It didn't adapt its play and ended up losing. \"That's interesting because good players tend to play more standard styles, while it's the weaker players who often play weirdly.\" Joshua \"RiSky\" Hayward is the UK's top player. He did not get to play AlphaStar but has studied games it played as a Zerg. He believes its behaviour was atypical for a Grandmaster. \"It often didn't make the most efficient, strategic decisions,\" he remarked, \"but it was very good at executing its strategy and doing lots of things all at once, so it still got to a decent level. \"When AI got better than people at chess, it did so by making abnormal moves that ended up being stronger than those played by humans. I feel that DeepMind needed more time to create its own innovations and it will be a bit disappointing if the project doesn't continue.\" One AI expert who has previously expressed scepticism about other deep learning-related claims, also had reservations about the latest findings. \"These kind of techniques may yet prove to have some important commercial value, but they depend on massive amounts of data in situations, like games, that are very stable,\" commented Gary Marcus, co-founder of Robust.AI. \"So far the field has struggled to take techniques like this out of the laboratory and game environments and into the real world, and i don't immediately see this result as progress in that direction.\" Didn't DeepMind previously show AI doesn't need to learn from humans? The \"zero\" versions of the lab's Chess, Go and Shogi-playing agents did indeed perform better when they relied on reinforcement learning alone. But DeepMind said Starcraft 2 was too complex for this to be practical, at least at this point. Discovering new strategies without any guide would be a \"needle in a haystack problem,\" Prof Silver said, with the agent required to stumble upon a series of steps with a beneficial outcome. \"You'd have to do so many unlikely things, each of which in turn looks really bad from where you are,\" he explained. \"We call this the exploration problem. \"There's still an open research question, as to how to do something like AlphaStar Zero, which could fully learn for itself without human data.\" What next? DeepMind says it hopes the techniques used to develop AlphaStar will ultimately help it \"advance our research in real-world domains\". But Prof Silver said the lab \"may rest at this point\", rather than try to get AlphaStar to the level of the very elite players.",

From later this year, the toy - launched almost 70 years ago - will be named Potato Head on packaging. Other toy companies have taken similar decisions in recent years, breaking with traditional gender norms. \"Hasbro is making sure all feel welcome in the Potato Head world by officially dropping the Mr from the Mr Potato Head brand name and logo to promote gender equality and inclusion,\" Hasbro said of the name change. The rebranded toy, which can be assembled with a selection of different body parts and clothes, will be released in autumn this year, Hasbro said. The company said the toy will allow children \"to imagine and create their own Potato Head family\". However, in a later tweet on Thursday, the company said the Mr and Mrs Potato Head characters would still be available to buy, but didn't provide more details. Mr Potato Head was one of the main characters in Toy Story, an animated film series produced by Pixar and released by Walt Disney Pictures. In those films, Mr Potato Head angrily reminds other toys to use his honorific in some scenes. \"That's Mr Potato Head to you, you back-stabbing murderer,\" the plastic spud said to Woody, the toy cowboy played by American actor Tom Hanks. What reaction has there been? The rebrand has been seen as a progressive move by some and criticised as a PR stunt by others. \"There is movement around gender neutrality at the moment,\" Frederique Tutt, a toy industry analyst for the NPD Group told the BBC. \"It's something that Hasbro has been addressing, along with inclusivity.\" She said the rebrand shows Hasbro is mindful of people who \"want to be gender-neutral, who want to choose\". \"So I guess that's where Mr Potato Head is going as well,\" Ms Tutt said. In an interview with business magazine Fast Company, Hasbro general manager Kimberly Boyd said the Mr and Mrs brand was \"limiting when it comes to both gender identity and family structure\". \"Culture has evolved,\" she added. Others were less enthused with the rebrand. \"Barbie must be renamed something more gender-neutral. This is imperative,\" conservative American commentator Ben Shapiro wrote in an apparently sarcastic tweet. Mr Potato Head first went on sale in 1952. On the back of its success, Mrs Potato Head, along with traditional feminised accessories, was launched the following year. The move follows other updates to classic brands, including Barbie, who was initially known for being tall, white and blonde but now comes in a range of ethnicities and body shapes. In 2019, global toy giant Mattel released a line of gender-neutral dolls. And more female characters have been added to the Thomas the Tank Engine series.",

Young members have expressed frustration at the way the party has dealt with allegations of inappropriate behaviour against Delyn MP Rob Roberts. A Tory party spokesperson said it takes \"any complaint very seriously\". Speaking to BBC Wales, one Welsh Conservative councillor said the party needed to get \"a HR professional in to deal with the complaints procedure in Wales\". \"The process for complaining is especially unclear for members doing voluntary work for the party,\" the councillor said. Another party member told BBC Wales they \"wouldn't know how to register a complaint or raise a grievance. There's a lack of transparency\". Aden Hallam, 24, has been a Conservative Party member for two years and has volunteered for the party at local and national elections. In June, he started an online campaign to reform the way the party handles complaints against elected representatives. Last year, he made a sexual harassment complaint to the party about a Conservative councillor in England. He claims he received an acknowledgment of his complaint, but then had no response for over a year. \"Since then I haven't received a single email, phone call or letter from the Conservative Party regarding this complaint and it has been over a year now,\" he said. Mr Hallam added the councillor then went \"on to have further successes within the party\". \"It was rather upsetting that I'd made a complaint of that nature, which was extremely serious and upsetting to me, to then see the party seemingly take no action against this individual and actually then reward them further down the line. \"It feels like they just didn't believe what had happened but it also feels like they just don't care.\" He said he was concerned \"the individual may do this again\". After BBC Wales approached the Conservative Party for comment they said they would get in touch with Mr Hallam. 'The party needs to admit there's a problem' He added: \"All I want from the party is to have a complaints system where people feel like justice is done, where people feel confident that if they are a victim of bullying, harassment, any sort of inappropriate behaviour that the party will make sure it is dealt with in any manner that is appropriate. \"I just feel the party needs to first of all admit there's a problem.\" Mr Hallam posted about his own complaint on social media after allegations of inappropriate behaviour against the Conservative MP for Delyn, Rob Roberts, came to light. In July, the Conservative Party said it was investigating Rob Roberts's behaviour after messages seen by BBC Wales showed Mr Roberts inviting a 21-year-old female intern to \"fool around\" with him. Mr Roberts also admitted asking out another House of Commons employee, which resulted in them changing jobs. The MP told BBC Wales that he recognised the request to ask the staffer out \"was inappropriate,\" but did not comment on the messages sent to the intern. The Conservative Party confirmed that the investigation into his behaviour was ongoing. It is facing increased scrutiny about its handling of complaints after the prime minister defended a decision not to suspend a Conservative MP and former minister who has been arrested and bailed on suspicion of rape. What have other party members said? Other Conservative Party members in Wales, who wished to remain anonymous, have also raised concerns about the party's complaints process. One member and chair of a local Conservative association in Wales said there needs to be \"a clear structure for who takes responsibility for complaints\". \"Do you deal with the association chair, the area chair, the Welsh board, or central office?\" The member also criticised the party's handling of allegations against Rob Roberts, saying he should \"lose the whip\" and be suspended from the party's group in Westminster. Another told BBC Wales the party should have acted more decisively in suspending Rob Roberts pending an investigation into the allegations against him. \"His actions were wrong, inappropriate, unacceptable and we want something done about it. We've exhausted our powers to complain internally… We don't really know what's going on. \"A proportionate response would be to withdraw the whip from him. This doesn't make things safe for young male and female members and activists, it sets the wrong tone.\" 'It took months' before investigation was announced The chair of a local young Conservative association in England said it took \"months\" of junior party members talking about the allegations against Rob Roberts before the party publicly announced an investigation. \"It was constantly pushed under the rug by the party - and only properly treated as it should be after the media covered it. \"Young workers for the party aren't being listened to when they knock on the door the first time around. \"I wouldn't know who to contact apart from emailing the standard CCHQ email - that's even as a co-chair for a young Conservatives association. The communication and bridge just isn't there.\" What has the Conservative Party said? A Conservative Party spokesperson said: \"We take any complaint very seriously. We have a Code of Conduct where people can report complaints in confidence. \"If an allegation of criminal wrongdoing is raised, we would advise the individual to contact the police.\" There is currently an ongoing independent investigation into the Conservative Party's complaints procedures. 'Great deal of mental stress' In response to the allegations, Rob Roberts told BBC Wales in July that he had invited a parliamentary staff member to dinner. He said: \"My invitation was not accepted and the staff member did not feel comfortable about it. \"I do now recognise that it was inappropriate to have extended the invitation to a member of staff in the first place. \"However, I have found the last few months and the 'coming out' process to have been particularly challenging and the cause of a great deal of mental stress to me.\"",

The Department of Health guidance is being published after concerns over both issues were raised. It will now assess abortion providers to ensure they are abiding by the updated rules. The 113 independent clinics providing abortions for the NHS must do so in order to be re-approved to provide the service by the Health Secretary. Officials say they do not expect to find any major problems. Good practice Concerns over sex selection were raised after secret filming by the Daily Telegraph appeared to show two doctors agreeing terminations of female foetuses could go ahead. However no charges were brought - and the Crown Prosecution Service said it was satisfied there was no intention to proceed with a termination. A subsequent investigation into the work of abortion clinics found 14 were pre-signing certificates. The law says two doctors have to certify an abortion under the terms of the 1967 Abortion Act. But pre-signing suggests the second doctor has not considered that woman's individual case. Under the updated guidance, doctors are reminded that pre-signing forms is not allowed and both doctors have a legal duty to certify abortions \"in good faith\". The updated guidance restates the rules governing abortions. It says: Updated annual birth ratio statistics for England and Wales for 2008-2012 have also been published by the department. This data is broken down by the mother's country of birth and shows no evidence of sex selection occurring in the UK. Ann Furedi, chief executive of the British Pregnancy Advisory Service which is a major provider of abortions for the NHS, said it abided by the guidance. But she added: \"There is no clinical need for two doctors to certify a woman's reasons for abortion, in addition to obtaining her consent - it simply causes delays.\" Ann Scanlan, of the pro-life charity Life, said the organisation welcomed the re-emphasis on sex selection and pre-signing being against the law. But Ms Scanlan said she was \"disappointed but not surprised\" that the guidance potentially allowed for neither of the two doctors certifying an abortion to actually see the woman concerned.",

That's a fact.\" But the night before, England's Deputy Chief Medical Officer, Jonathan Van Tam told a coronavirus briefing: \"Is there a clear signal in the data of a markedly increased rate of infection or mortality in teachers? No.\" Labour has called on the government to \"use the window\" of the February half-term to vaccinate all teachers and support staff, ahead of potential plans to re-open schools in England from 8 March. But what does the data show? Teachers in England and Wales were not at significantly higher risk of death from coronavirus than the working age population, ONS figures covering March-December 2020 suggest. But there was one group where the risk was higher. Male secondary school teachers saw about two-and-a-half times as many deaths as men of the same age from an equivalent professional background - just under 40 deaths per 100,000 people. But the difference was much less pronounced when comparing teachers with all working-age men. What about other professions? Looking at other occupations, female nurses were 50% more likely to die than the general female working-age population, and male nurses were more than twice as likely to die as other working-age men. Social care workers were also much more likely to die from coronavirus. Frontline and social care workers are in priority group two for the vaccine, while teachers are not currently being prioritised as a profession. There are other key worker groups - such as bus and taxi drivers - who had a higher average death rate than teachers and have also not been prioritised for the vaccine. Jobs involving regular exposure to coronavirus and working in close proximity to others have higher coronavirus death rates, Ben Humberstone, head of Health Analysis and Life Events at the ONS says. But although these death rate figures are adjusted for age, they don't take into account other key factors such as ethnicity. \"There are a complex combination of factors that influence the risk of death; from your age and your ethnicity, where you live and who you live with, to pre-existing health conditions,\" he says. Labour is calling for \"key workers in critical professions\" to be added to the first phase of the vaccination programme. What about infections? Rates of infection across different jobs are less understood. One thing we have is estimates of occupations with the highest potential exposure to coronavirus, conducted by the ONS back in May. Medical roles including dentistry and nursing have among the highest exposure to disease, it suggests, although it does not take into account that these groups are likely to be wearing PPE. School workers had moderate exposure to disease, with primary and nursery teachers more exposed than secondary. As school buildings have often been closed to most pupils since March, many teachers may not have had as much regular exposure to children and other staff as they will do when schools fully reopen this year. Supporters of moving teachers up the list say it will also allow schools to reopen safely and smoothly, with less staff sickness and potentially lower rates of transmission.

Meanwhile, angry locals demanding compensation for the families of those killed have set fire to two jeeps belonging to forest officials. The villagers also want a permanent solution to the man-animal conflict in the region. The first fatal attack took place on 27 November, when a man called Basavaraju was killed. Two days later, a second victim, Cheluva, fell prey to the same tiger, officials believe. They say the animal was last spotted on 30 November. Its latest presumed victim, 60-year-old farmer Shivamallappa Basappa, was found by his son on Tuesday night close to the forest in Mysore district. Only parts of his leg and skull remained. \"The body of the third farmer who was killed has been found. We have seen the pug marks of the tiger. It is moving around somewhere close by,\" HC Kantharaju, conservator of forests in Bandipur tiger reserve, told BBC Hindi. \"We will try to pump in tranquilisers as soon as our colleagues find the rogue tiger,\" C Shrinivasan, director of Project Tiger in Mysore, said. A fourth farmer has also been killed in the same area but forest officials say they believe he was killed by another tiger as \"no part of his body was eaten\". The killings have created tension in up to 20 villages, with angry farmers vandalising a forest department office and setting fire to two jeeps. The Bandipur tiger reserve in Karnataka state is one end of a huge forest sanctuary that cuts across three states of southern India. According to a 2011 census, there are about 1,700 tigers left in the wild in India. It is thought India had 100,000 tigers a century ago but there has been a serious decline in numbers since then. Poaching and shrinking habitats are blamed. The BBC's Sanjoy Majumder in Delhi says that tigers often compete with villagers living close to the reserves for resources, often leading to direct conflict.",

The quarterback has not been signed for any team next season, which begins in early September. Supporters claim he is being pushed out because of his political action. But others say his status as a \"free agent\" is down to his performance on the field. Kaepernick led the San Francisco 49ers to the 2013 Super Bowl, but his status in the team has declined since, and he lost his starting place last year. However, NBC sports commentator Bob Costas told CNN: \"The idea that Colin Kaepernick can't play for some team, and that he isn't among the 50 or 60 best quarterbacks who could play in the NFL, is ridiculous.\" But he added he believed team owners were making their own decisions, rather than following any edict from the NFL. Kaepernick's protest was hugely divisive across the US last year, taking place after a series of deaths at the hands of armed police. But critics claimed that Kaepernick's actions were disrespectful to the American flag and to members of the armed forces which defend it. Angry fans posted videos of Kaepernick jerseys burning, and the sportsman said he had received death threats. The rally took place outside the headquarters of America's National Football League (NFL) in New York City. Ahead of the demonstration, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) sent a letter to the NFL on the issue, saying team owners were avoiding signing the player because of his protest. \"As the NFL season quickly approaches, Mr Kaepernick has spent an unprecedented amount of time as a free agent, and it is becoming increasingly apparent that this is no sheer coincidence,\" the NAACP said. At the rally outside NFL buildings in New York City, several speakers said the issue was more important than securing a contract for Kaepernick, while others called for a boycott of the NFL. Tamika Mallory, Co-Chair of The Women's March on Washington, said: \"Don't let them tell you that we are out here for one man. \"Even Colin Kaepernick will tell you that he didn't just knee for himself or for his family, he kneed for all of us.\" On the other side of the road from his supporters, a small handful of counter-protesters had gathered, one of whom waved a sign reading \"Colin the Commie\". Many Kaepernick supporters raised their fists in a salute made famous by US sprinter Tommie Smith at the 1968 Olympics. On Monday night, more than a dozen players from the Cleveland Browns team knelt in prayer before a pre-season game, in imitation of Kaepernick's protest. One white player who joined the protest, Seth DeValve, told the AFP news agency he had decided to take part after the clashes between white supremacists and counter-protesters in Charlottesville. DeValve, who is married to an African-American woman, said: \"I myself will be raising children that don't look like me, and I want to do my part as well - to do everything I can to raise them in a better environment than we have right now.\"",

The tycoon, who spent more than £6m on Leave.EU, said he had faced \"absurd\" claims of Russian conspiracies. Media committee chairman Damian Collins said it was \"difficult to know\" whether to take his evidence - and that of colleague Andy Wigmore - seriously. Leave.EU, which was backed by then UKIP leader Nigel Farage, lost out to Vote Leave in the battle to become the official Leave campaign in the 2016 EU referendum. It ran a \"disruptive\" campaign instead, Mr Banks told the committee, adding: \"We were not above using alternative methods to punch home our message or lead people up the garden path if we had to.\" Mr Wigmore, Leave.EU's director of communications, said \"the piece of advice that we got, right from the beginning, was remember referendums are not about facts, it's about emotion and you have got to tap into that emotion\". He said the campaign had aimed to \"make fun\" of journalists and his role in it had been that of an \"agent provocateur\". Asked what the difference was between provocation and lies, he said: \"If you are trying to sell something or put a good case over to somebody you will tell the best story. If that's provocation - or a lie, if you want to call it that, yeah.\" Who is Arron Banks? Mr Banks used his appearance before the Commons media select committee to hit back at claims he was involved in a conspiracy with Russian officials, saying there was \"not one shred of evidence\" for it. He was \"not an evil genius with a white cat controlling... western democracy\", he told the committee, accusing its members of being \"Remainers\" with a \"vested interested in trying to discredit the Leave campaign\". He then went on to attack the credibility of Brittany Kaiser and Chris Wylie, whistleblowers who had previously given evidence to the committee about controversial data firm Cambridge Analytica. He dismissed Cambridge Analytica as an \"advertising agency\" that \"did a little bit of politics on the side\". \"We had two or three meetings with them and it became clear to me that - as is true in a lot of politics - there is a lot of sizzle and sometimes not a lot of substance,\" he said. He also addressed revelations at the weekend that he had had two more meetings with the Russian ambassador Alexander Yakovenko than he had previously disclosed in his book on the referendum battle, The Bad Boys of Brexit. The last of these was in November 2016, three days after Mr Banks, Mr Wigmore and the former UKIP leader Nigel Farage met Mr Trump in New York following his presidential election victory. According to details of emails reported by the Sunday Times and the Observer, Mr Banks and Mr Wigmore also discussed potential business opportunities in Russia including a proposal involving six gold mines. Mr Banks attempted to laugh off suggestions of a conspiracy over his meetings with Mr Yakovenko, telling MPs: \"I was hoping for a good lunch and that is what I did gain from it.\" He added: \"The only thing we gave in the second meeting was the telephone number of the (Trump) transition team because the Russians wanted to get hold of the transition team.\" He said Leave.EU had \"briefed the American security services on everything that transpired\". Mr Banks denied he was in Moscow in February 2016, as claimed by the Sunday Times, and produced passports containing Russian visas which he said proved he had been in Moscow twice in recent years, in March 2015 and October 2014. Mr Wigmore said he had first sought a meeting with Russian officials at a UKIP conference in his role as a then diplomat for Belize, a small central American nation and former British colony. \"His (Mr Banks') wife is also Russian. We thought it would be nice,\" he told MPs. Mr Wigmore said he had spoken to the ambassador about possible Russian investments in a banana farm in Belize and a port, owned by a bank belonging to former Conservative deputy-chairman and donor Lord Ashcroft. Mr Wigmore said the meeting with Mr Trump had not been planned and only came about because the US President's adviser Kellyanne Conway had asked if they \"wanted to go and see the boss\" when they were in Trump Tower, in New York. He claimed he gave the Trump transition team the phone number of Number 10 Downing Street, because the team had \"no relationship\" with the British government. Mr Banks - who was grilled by MPs for nearly three hours - refused to answer a final set of questions from Labour MP Ian Lucas, saying the session had overrun and he had a lunch appointment to go to. Mr Wigmore had kicked off the session by calling on Mr Collins to stand aside as chairman because he accepted hospitality from \"Putin's number one man in the United Kingdom\" and might be \"conflicted\". Mr Collins recorded a trip to Chelsea Football Club, owned by Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich, on his register of member's interests. He called the suggestion a \"nice try\" adding \"you might have better intelligence than me... I didn't know that Roman Abramovich was Putin's number one man in London\". In a statement after the hearing, Mr Collins said: \"Mr Banks and Mr Wigmore themselves put on the record that they frequently lie, exaggerate, misspeak and misunderstand. \"So it is difficult for the Committee to know if we should take all of their answers seriously when it comes to data sharing and misuse, campaign spending, and their meetings with high ranking Russian officials.\" He said his inquiry would be writing to the pair to follow up some of the points they had made, adding: \"Our inquiry is about getting to the truth of these matters.\"",

The devices have been in position for three months. 'Reasonable expectation' Healthcare professionals do not tell patients the cameras are there but notices in the room do warn that filming is taking place.

The charity, which acknowledged the \"potential benefits of a sensitively made documentary\" about stillbirths, said: \"Such a filming project would engage individuals' right to privacy, which is a reasonable expectation for medical procedures, consultations and examinations.\" A spokesman for True Vision said: \"Patients are made aware that that filming is taking place in parts of the clinic but that no footage of them will be viewed or downloaded in any way without their express permission. \"Anyone approached to take part in the programme will have the implications of taking part in filming clearly explained and all contributors have the right to withdraw their consent at any time. Dr Jeremy Brockelsby, clinical lead for women's services at Cambridge University Hospitals, said it took part in the documentary after women said there was not enough information on stillbirth.

A document seen by the BBC said \"Croydon's financial pressures are not all related to the pandemic\". It is under a government review amid claims of \"irresponsible spending\". Section 114 notices are issued when a council cannot achieve a balanced budget. In June, the BBC found many large councils in England feared going effectively bankrupt because of the Covid-19 pandemic. To cope with coronavirus, councils revealed they were planning a mix of responses including using up cash reserves, reducing services and cancelling or postponing spending on big projects. The Section 114 letter, which was sent by Croydon's director of finance Lisa Taylor, said she was not confident the council \"can make the level of savings required to deliver a balanced budget\". \"Despite the council having put in place spending controls over the summer 2020, non-essential cost have continued to be incurred,\" she said. \"I am still not seeing an organisation that is taking the necessary radical decisions to stop all but essential expenditure.\" The document also says £17.7m of the £27.9m of the \"new savings\" presented to Croydon's cabinet on 21 September and the full council meeting on 28 September were \"incorrectly identified as new savings\". As a result it forecasted that overspend \"had not reduced by as much as previously reported\". Croydon is the first council to declare a Section 114 order since Northamptonshire County Council in 2018. Last month, Croydon's cabinet member for finance Simon Hall resigned from his role, while former council leader Tony Newman announced his departure a few days later. Both resignations came two weeks after the pair survived a vote of no confidence proposed by the Conservative opposition. 'Difficult decisions' Councillor Hamida Ali, who took over as leader, accepted that the council \"had made mistakes\" in addition to the impact of coronavirus. \"While we continue to work hard to find savings, we must focus our spending on essential services and protecting our vulnerable residents,\" she said. \"We're not going to fix these problems overnight and there will be difficult decisions ahead but I want to reassure local people that the council will still be here to support you.\" Croydon's chief executive Jo Negrini also announced in August that she would be stepping down. The council's Conservative opposition leader Cllr Jason Cummings said the report was \"scathing\" and he had fears local residents \"would suffer most\". He added: \"Labour were warned repeatedly over the last few years but ploughed on anyway, they must take full responsibility for the damage they have caused.\" The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government said Croydon's decision was \"necessary\" for it to manage its own finances. A spokesman said: \"We're aware of serious concerns around the council's governance and risk management and the recent Public Interest Report was damning about the governance within Croydon Council, which has been entirely irresponsible with their spending and investments. \"The council has decided to issue a section 114 notice and we will consider the findings of the review which concludes later this month.\" Analysis By BBC London's political correspondent Tim Donovan It's not often a council needs to issue a Section 114 - but the pressures of coping with coronavirus have combined with at least questionable previous investment strategies to push Croydon over the edge. It was heading for an overspend of £60m at the end of the year from dealing with the pandemic and government support didn't look like covering it. Croydon went into the coronavirus health crisis in a vulnerable state - with depleted reserves and £1.5bn debts. It's a financial position partially reached through buying up property including a hotel and a shopping centre. In good times, it's easy to see how that might have paid dividends but with weeks of lockdown, it left the council seriously exposed. The latest development means new spending must be stopped immediately except for on statutory services like social care. Now the council's administration has 21 days to come up with a strategy which looks likely to mean more job losses to add to at least 400 already being cut.",

            "input": "A survey of more than 1,000 owners of working dogs found more than half of undocked spaniels experienced a tail injury of some sort in the last year. The study from the University of Glasgow was commissioned by the Scottish government. Tail docking is banned but ministers are considering a change in the law. It was outlawed in 2007, with penalties of a fine of up to £5,000 and/or six months imprisonment. Exemptions are only made where a tail is injured or diseased. The Scottish government is now seeking the views of different organisations on the issue following new research. It includes a study from the University of Glasgow which concluded that docking at a young age would reduce the risk of injury. A second study from the same group looked at records of working breed tail injuries from veterinary practices across Scotland. It suggested that to prevent one tail injury, between 81 and 135 pointer, spaniel and hunt point retriever puppies would need to be docked. Rural Affairs Secretary Richard Lochhead said: \"It is clear to me that animal welfare is an extremely important issue and one which is close to many people's hearts. \"For that reason, any decision taken by the Scottish government fully considers the welfare of each and every animal affected. \"In some cases, as in this one, there is no clear, straightforward answer and a balance needs to be struck. \"This research that we have funded has provided a sound basis for us to discuss with concerned parties where that balance point should be between protecting the welfare of puppies and protecting the welfare of adult working dogs, and whether further action is justified to protect working dogs from injury.\" He added: \"I must stress that I have as yet taken no firm stance on this; we need to gain a clearer understanding of the views of interested parties in Scotland before any decision is made. \"I have therefore invited key interested parties to consider the findings of this research and to comment on whether they merit further consideration of a possible exemption to the ban on tail docking for specific working dogs.\" A deadline of 23 May has been set for organisations to provide feedback. Petition presented Gamekeepers campaigned outside the Scottish Parliament earlier this year to end the ban. The Scottish Gamekeepers Association (SGA) presented a 4,158-signature petition to Mr Lochhead, calling for the ban to be reversed for working dogs on the grounds of animal welfare. The group said many dogs suffered agonising tail injuries while working in thick undergrowth. Animal rights charity OneKind has said that docking the tails of puppies causes \"pain and distress\".",

A current bishop said it would be \"too much of a headache\" to appoint him, he claimed. The Church in Wales \"strongly denied\" the accusations of homophobia. Dr John said he had been told appointing him would be difficult because he was in a civil partnership, although celibate in line with Church teaching. 'Unsettling publicity' He wrote to the Bishop of Swansea and Brecon - the Right Reverend John Davies, who is currently the Church's senior bishop - after an electoral college of bishops, clergy and lay people failed to reach a decision about who should replace Dr Barry Morgan as bishop. It is understood Dr John received a majority of the votes, but not the two-thirds required by Church rules. He said homophobic remarks had been made at the electoral college meeting. \"Much more importantly, the only arguments adduced against my appointment - in particular by two of the bishops - were directly related to my homosexuality and/or civil partnership - namely that my appointment would bring unwelcome and unsettling publicity to the diocese,\" he wrote. Dr John said he had been told by a bishop by telephone they were \"'just too exhausted' to deal with the problems they believed [his] appointment would cause.\" \"I put it to you that this is not a moral or legal basis on which to exclude me,\" Dr John wrote. Under the Church's rules, the decision has passed to its bench of bishops, who failed to reach a decision when they met last week. A Church in Wales spokeswoman told BBC News: \"At the recent meeting of Electoral College no one candidate secured the necessary two-thirds majority to be elected Bishop of Llandaff. The appointment will now be made by the Church's bishops. \"After a process of consultation, they have drawn up a shortlist of names which is confidential. However, the Bishops strongly deny allegations of homophobia.\" Dr John, who was born in Tonyrefail in Rhondda Cynon Taff, was nominated as Bishop of Reading in 2003, but was asked to withdraw from the role by the then-Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams. He entered a civil partnership with Grant Holmes in 2006, but said at the time he had remained celibate, in line with Church teaching. He is a public supporter of same-sex marriage, writing in the Church Times in 2012 that \"theologically, ethically, and sacramentally, there is no difference between a gay couple and a heterosexual couple who cannot have children\". \"So, yes, same-sex marriage can be as holy and sacramental as heterosexual marriage. Yes, God is in favour of gay marriage and so should the Church be,\" he added. Gay rights campaigners have previously called for him to be made a bishop in Wales. Dr John's nomination as Bishop of Reading caused controversy in 2003 when Dr Williams summoned him to Lambeth Palace and asked him to withdraw from the post. Some conservative Anglican leaders had warned they would split from the communion if Dr John's consecration went ahead. Friends of Dr John told the BBC last year that he had \"painted the house, finished the episcopal training sessions, and been given the keys of the official car when the job was taken away\".",

            "input": "By Kamal AhmedBusiness editor Warren East said the engineering group had developed an \"accounting fog\" which had left investors unclear about the direction it was going. He said investor \"confidence was not in a good place\", and the company must make shareholder returns a priority. Rolls-Royce's share price has plunged after a series of profit warnings. Earlier this month, the company saw one of the sharpest falls in its share price since it floated in 1987 after announcing that profits could be £650m lower than expected next year. The share price fell by a fifth. Numbers game Mr East's comments came as he unveiled details of a review of the business. He insisted that despite a downturn in the aircraft engine business and oil exploration, Rolls-Royce was still a fundamentally strong company. He said it would focus on boosting its engineering skills and reducing the number of senior managers. Although the company is cutting costs, Mr East refused to be drawn on the precise number of jobs that might be lost. \"I don't actually know the job numbers right now,\" he said, explaining that more will be revealed when the company reports its full-year results in February. 'Simpler' Rolls-Royce employs more than 21,000 people in the UK, with more than 12,000 employed at its Derby aerospace engines and submarines division. Mr East said he wanted to employ more engineers, so it appears that any job losses will be a relatively small addition to the 3,600 already announced. \"The last thing I want to do is lose engineers,\" he said. Rolls-Royce will become a \"simpler\" business which will operate with more \"pace\" after Mr East admitted that the business was \"over-managed\" and cumbersome. For example, Mr East told investors that the company had 27 management structures to deal with different types of technology - a number Mr East would like to see reduced to eight. He said this cumbersome set-up was to blame for the firm's sluggish responsiveness to market changes. Mr East also said Rolls-Royce would aim to present fresh medium-term business targets in 12 to 18 months. On the long term, he said: \"There's a very strong engineering base and there's a very strong business model and operational execution is really masking the strength of both of those at the moment.\" 'Wrong' Pressure for an overhaul of the business has been intensified by US-based activist investor ValueAct, which took a stake in Rolls-Royce not long after Mr East's arrival at the helm. It recently doubled its holding to 10%, making it Rolls-Royce biggest investor. It is reported to want the engineer to sell off its marine business to focus on its main aero-engine business. \"The notion that we're going to sell big chunks is just wrong,\" Mr East said. ValueAct has also asked for a seat on the Rolls board, but has so far been rejected by the company. Mr East said it was up to the Rolls-Royce board as to whether the US investor fund was given a seat. \"ValueAct... they're quite supportive, they asked some very constructive questions and they absolutely share our view on the strength of the business in the long term,\" he added.",

Her son claims she was bullied and forced to sleep in an ant-infested bed. A report published on Thursday found no institutional abuse at the ward but accepted there had been failings. Betsi Cadwaladr health board has accepted the latest findings on the ward, which was closed in December 2013. The latest investigation, carried out by the Health and Social Care Advisory Service (Hascas), angered relatives of former patients. The report author Dr Androulla Johnstone said family accounts of their relatives' treatment on the ward had \"differed greatly\". \"For example, some families stated that in their view Tawel Fan ward was an abusive environment where their loved ones were mistreated, neglected and came to harm,\" she said. \"Other families offered the view that the care and treatment their loved ones received was of a very good standard with staff showing kindness and compassion throughout their relative's entire episode of care.\" But Mr Formstone, from Colwyn Bay, Conwy county, \"quite clearly\" considers what his mother experienced as abuse. \"One day my mother was complaining that something was biting her,\" the 56-year old said. \"After I took the sheets off her bed I found that the whole bed was infested with ants. \"They said there was no other room to put my mother in and she ended up sleeping in an ant-infested bed for the last three weeks she was in there.\" His mother, who died when she was 93, told him she was being bullied by one of the nurses, but Mr Formstone said staff didn't take his complaints seriously. Mrs Formstone had severe incontinence, but was not cared for with dignity, he added. \"There was more than one occasion where she'd be in the same clothes at least two days lying in her own mess.\" The new report amounted to \"a huge cover-up\", he said. \"All we wanted was the truth of the way our families were treated and it's quite appalling...they just don't want to use the word abuse.\" Responding to the report's findings, Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board said it was clear \"we have much more to do to make improvements across all of our adult services - not just mental health services\". Chairman Dr Peter Higson and chief executive Gary Doherty said: \"We fully acknowledge that this has been and will continue to be a very difficult process for all the families and staff involved. \"We accept the report's findings and are establishing a taskforce led by the executive director of nursing and midwifery to build on our existing work programmes to take forward the recommendations, alongside our partners, at pace.\" The health board said several members of staff \"have had some sort of employment restriction placed on them over a period of time. This ranges from suspension, alternative duties and restriction to practice\". \"The HASCAS individual staff specific reports will be used as investigative reports for employment and professional regulation purposes. On receipt of these reports, the Health Board and/or appropriate professional body will take the necessary appropriate action. \"",

Millions more are expected to come out to see him over his five-day visit to the nation's 80 million Catholics. The pontiff said that a priority of his visit would be to send a message to the poor who face \"social, spiritual and existential\" injustices. \"The central nut of the message will be the poor, the poor who want to go forward, the poor who suffered from Typhoon Haiyan and are continuing to suffer the consequences,\" he said while travelling to the Philippines from Sri Lanka. Typhoon Haiyan killed or left missing more than 7,300 people, razing villages to the ground in the centre of the Philippines in 2013. Leyte province was especially badly affected, and it is there where the Pope will seek to console survivors on Saturday. He said that also prominent in his mind were some Filipino workers at the Vatican who had left their families for jobs overseas. The Philippines is one of the world's largest exporters of labour - it is estimated that about a tenth of the population has left the country in search of work - and reports of their abuse and exploitation are commonplace. President Aquino has also spoken of his determination to eradicate poverty, although he has been at loggerheads with the local Roman Catholic Church over a 2012 reproductive health law that promotes artificial birth control. At the scene: Rupert Wingfield-Hayes, BBC News, Manila As Pope Francis passed me the huge grin on his face said it all. Millions of Philippine Catholics appear determined to try and see Pope Francis with their own eyes during this visit. That means huge crowds, and a potential security nightmare. This country has \"previous\" when it comes to attacks on the Pope. In 1970 a man attacked Pope Paul VI with a knife at Manila airport. In 1995 Manila police discovered a plot by Muslim militants to assassinate Pope John Paul II. On Thursday, as the Pope's plane landed, airspace around Manila was closed. Helicopter gunships circled overhead. About 25,000 police lined the route of his motorcade. But that did not prevent me from getting to within a few metres of his Popemobile without going through a single security check. After leaving the airport, Pope Francis boarded an open-sided Popemobile to travel the 11km (6.9 mile) route to the Apostolic Nunciature in Manila, where he is staying. The BBC's Rupert Wingfield-Hayes, who is accompanying the pontiff, says that huge cheers rose through the crowd as the white Popemobile swept past - with a clearly delighted Pope Francis grinning and waving from the back. The highlight of his visit will be a huge open-air Mass in Manila on Sunday and a visit to Tacloban to meet survivors of a devastating typhoon in November 2013. Security will be tight after failed attempts to kill two previous popes. Tens of thousands of soldiers and police have been deployed. Pope Francis is the fourth pontiff to visit the Philippines - 80% of its 100 million people are Catholic. A three-day public holiday has been declared in the capital to clear the traffic. \"Every step he makes, every car ride he takes, every moment he stays with us is precious for us,\" said Archbishop Socrates Villegas, president of Catholic Bishops' Conference of the Philippines. \"Seeing him pass by is a grace.\" Pope Francis's Philippines schedule Dancing inmates and Jeepney \"Popemobile\" ready for Francis Officials say he will be sensitive about controversial issues such as inequality, reproductive rights and divorce by bridging the traditional teachings of the church with \"new realities\". Crowds at his open-air Mass in the capital's Rizal Park on Sunday could exceed the five million who gathered for a Mass by Pope John Paul II in 1995, organisers say. In a televised address on Monday, President Benigno Aquino urged all Filipinos to help protect the Pope. In 1970, a Bolivian painter stabbed Pope Paul VI as he arrived in Manila, wounding him. In 1995, a week before Pope John Paul II's visit, police thwarted a plot by Muslim extremists to bomb his motorcade.",

He said the pair had been living in the US on green cards sponsored by Mrs Trump. President Trump has railed against family-based or \"chain\" immigration in the past. He argues instead for a merit-based system prioritising professionals over relatives, and has drawn criticism for his vocal attacks on immigration laws and immigrants. Melania Trump became a US citizen in 2006, after entering the US on a coveted Einstein visa for people of \"extraordinary ability\" in 2001 when she was working as a model. Under US immigration law, Melania's parents would need to have had green cards for at least five years before they could apply for citizenship. According to the US Citizenship and Immigration Services website, an average naturalisation application in New York takes between 11 and 21 months and is dependent on numerous character and residency requirements. Their lawyer Michael Wildes - who attended the ceremony with them - told reporters outside they had met the five year condition but refused to give more details, according to the New York Times. Mr Wildes called family-based migration \"a bedrock of our immigration process\", and when asked if the pair had gained citizenship through the system reportedly replied, \"I suppose\". Viktor Knavs was a car salesman in the Slovenian town of Sevnica, while his wife Amalija worked at a textile factory. Both are in their 70s. Their son-in-law has frequently attacked US immigration laws, calling them the \"dumbest laws on immigration in the world\".",

The year long trial will also look at using council vehicles to help people access health and social care. It comes as some of Wales' largest bus operators have cut services blaming a reduction in subsidies they receive. Last month Wales' largest bus operator, Stagecoach, confirmed it was cutting services in five counties. And Cardiff Bus has also blamed a cut in subsidy for reducing its services. But the Welsh government has said it wants the pilot projects to help find new ways of delivering public transport. The aim is to see how bus firms and councils can work together to cut costs, plan routes and coordinate timetables to meet users' demands. Vale of Glamorgan council's remit will include looking at how to encourage more people to use rural bus routes, setting up an online booking system and reducing the costs of services. And new public transport routes to communities around Tregaron will form part of Ceredigion council's scheme, as well as using its own vehicles to bolster bus services. The work to identify best practice from local authorities will report to the Bus Policy Advisory Group. Transport Minister Edwina Hart said: \"I want to ensure everyone in Wales is able to access jobs and services via reliable public transport. \"We must start looking at new and innovative ways of delivering these services, particularly in rural areas, by means of a sustainable and efficient network.\" Ms Hart announced councils will have £25m in 2014-15 toward socially-necessary bus and community transport services, the same amount as in 2013-14. But bus operators, including Stagecoach and Cardiff Bus, have blamed the Welsh government slashing its three-year funding package from £213.3m to £189m for the cutbacks they have made. Stagecoach announced last week that it was cutting 14 bus services, putting 77 jobs at risk. Last autumn Arriva announced the closure of its Aberystwyth depot as well as a number of route losses blaming cuts in public transport funding and rising fuel costs for the decision. In February, BBC Wales revealed nearly 100 subsidised bus routes have been scrapped by councils in Wales in the past three years, with further cuts expected as authorities make savings. The Welsh government has said the new reimbursement rate for bus operators was set following an independent review to ensure operators were \"no better and no worse off\" by taking part.",

            "input": "Fewer than half of the 89 films named best picture at the Oscars have passed a common measure of on-screen female representation known as the Bechdel Test. A movie passes the Bechdel Test if there are at least two named female characters that have a conversation with one another about something other than a man. This conversation needs to happen just once for it to pass. The research also shows that a greater percentage of best picture winners passed the Bechdel test in the 1930s compared to the current decade. Recent winners such as Moonlight, Gladiator and Slumdog Millionaire all fail the test, along with two of this year's best picture nominees, teams from BBC 100 Women and More or Less have found. Darkest Hour fulfils the requirement to have two named female characters but at no point in the film do women have a conversation with each other about something other than a man. Dunkirk, set during World War Two, doesn't have any named female characters. Two actresses given a high billing - Miranda Nolan and Kim Hartman - instead play characters known as \"Nurse\" and \"Stewardess\" respectively. \"I think people are doing what they always have done, telling stories that are similar to those they have seen before, without questioning it,\" says Ellen Tejle, who has introduced a rating system in Sweden to highlight films which pass the Bechdel Test. \"People in the industry need to realise that they have power and responsibility in the process of making a film.\" Film correspondent and broadcaster Rhianna Dhillon says women should not end up being shoehorned into films about men. \"We deserve our own narrative. Darkest Hour is a male-centric film they shoehorned a female narrative in. Who are they doing that for?\" she says. \"It's not good enough to start making a film before realising that it's just white men being represented.\" What is 100 Women?

Women account for 11% of film directors The Bechdel Test is named after the artist behind the 1985 cartoon it first appeared in. In Alison Bechdel's comic strip Dykes to Watch Out For, two women are discussing going to the cinema, when one reveals the details of her \"rule\" for picking what to watch. Unable to find a film that meets her requirements, the two characters end up going home. It was never intended to be a serious method of measuring representation, but is now a widely used theory in film criticism. \"I love that the Bechdel Test gets the conversation going about what's going on on screen,\" says Holly Tarquini, director of the Bath Film Festival and founder of the F-rating, which alerts audiences to a film directed by women and/or written by women. \"What's really difficult is that lots of very misogynist films pass it; it doesn't tell you anything about who's telling the story. \"A huge amount of pornography passes. The Bikini Carwash Company passes the Bechdel Test but Gravity doesn't.\" How the films were measured The BBC 100 Women team reviewed dozens of films, using the standard Bechdel Test as a measure. Information was also gathered and cross-checked from crowd-sourcing website bechdeltest.com. Where a BBC reviewer had questions about the rating to give a particular film, or disagreed with bechdeltest.com, this was checked with at least two other BBC reviewers and a consensus reached. Ms Tejle uses the test at her cinema in Sweden and films that pass are given an A-rating. \"Many films pass in just one scene,\" she says. \"We have had a lot of angry emails and shout-outs, saying that a particular film 'shouldn't have passed because of just a few moments'. \"But that says something too, that people are looking for that scene and reacting - that means they paid attention and actually care. That for me is a success in itself.\" Others point out that the test only addresses gender, without asking whether characters are well-represented in other ways. Corrina Antrobus, founder of the Bechdel Test Fest, says if she were to come up with a new way of testing films, \"it would be something that better addresses intersectionality\", a theory that considers the way different aspects of humanity such as ethnicity, class and sexuality, affect one another. \"It would be a measure of how few films portray women of colour, the spectrum of sexualities, religious backgrounds and abilities so that we can get a better snapshot of who is missing or being poorly represented at the table,\" she says. According to analysis by the Annenberg Foundation, 34 of the top 100 films in 2016 depicted a female lead or co-lead. Of those, just three were played by female actors from an underrepresented racial or ethnic group. Nearly half of all 100 top films of 2016 evaluated were completely missing black female speaking characters (47 of 100) and two‐thirds or more were missing Asian females (66 of 100) and Latinas (72 of 100), the study found. \"In stark contrast, only 11 of the 100 top movies of 2016 were missing white girls/women on screen,\" the study said. Forty-four of the 89 best Oscar picture winners pass the Bechdel Test, including Argo and Schindler's List. In both of these examples, very few lines are actually spoken by women - it just so happens that one or two instances of conversation meet the requirements of the test. Analysis by BBC software developer Hanah Anderson points to the huge difference in the amount of words given to male versus female characters in several high profile films. And film critics and fans have debated how much the female characters need to say to one another, for a film to constitute a pass of the Bechdel Test. For example, Spotlight, a film about a newspaper investigation into the cover-up of child sexual abuse by Roman Catholic priests, proves contentious on the Bechdel Test website. In one scene, journalist Sacha Pfieffer (played by Rachel McAdams) is asked for a glass of water by her grandmother, who is not given a first or last name in the credits. One Bechdel test website user, Leigh, had this to say: \"I don't think the grandmother asking for a glass of water in response to learning about the abuse by men in the church constitutes a pass.\" User CA2MA disagrees, writing: \"I actually think this glass of water scene is a critical and powerful sequence in the film. \"So while the grandmother isn't named, she is an important character - she is the voice of the average [Boston] Globe reader. \"The cover-up that she is reading about is larger than just about men. It is about thousands of people and the failure of an institution.\" Equally, Forrest Gump provokes debate about whether two women talking about the veterans from the Vietnam War counts as them talking about men, or talking about an issue. While this research focuses on English-language and US films, it is interesting to note that studies from the Geena Davis Institute suggests that other film-making countries are having greater success in producing more gender-balanced films. China had the highest number of gender-balanced movies, followed by Korea, UK, Brazil, and Germany, according to analysis of selected films released between 2010 and 2013. However very few films worldwide are directed by women - and they include just one Oscar best picture winner. And while Kathryn Bigelow picked up the best director award for The Hurt Locker in 2009, the film itself actually fails the Bechdel Test. \"For decades, there has been an assumption that women will go to see these films, whoever is in them, because that's all there is to watch,\" says Ms Dhillon. \"Meanwhile men can take their pick because they're always represented. Women are pigeon-holed but we don't realise because it's so subliminal.\" Ms Dhillon believes it will be a long time until Hollywood addresses its problems with representation, but films such as I, Tonya and and Black Panther give her hope. \"Black Panther is really exciting because its not made a by a small arthouse; this is a huge film from Marvel and Disney,\" she says. Although the film isn't perfect, she points out, there are many examples of \"intelligent and brave\" women who are represented as the \"norm\". \"That's one of the reasons why audiences are so excited about it,\" she says. There may be financial benefits for studios making films that are more representative, with some research suggesting that films with gender parity make more money per dollar spent on production. \"Dare to break the stereotypes,\" Ms Tejle tells the filmmakers of the future. \"You might even make a better film with a better story.\" Reporting by Amelia Butterly, Sarah Buckley, Georgina Pearce and Charlotte McDonald.

The ship's three masts, bowsprit and rigging will all be dismantled. It will be the first time since World War II that Victory has been seen without its top masts. Recent survey work revealed the ship was leaking, suffering from rot and was being pulled apart by its own weight. Earlier, engineers began by removing the fore topgallant yard and fore topsail yards - the spars on the mast. In the coming weeks, 26 miles of rigging will be removed so a team of master shipwrights and other specialists can work on them.

            "input": "The Norwegian University of Science and Technology study found greenhouse gas emissions rose dramatically if coal was used to produce the electricity. Electric car factories also emitted more toxic waste than conventional car factories, their report in the Journal of Industrial Ecology said. However, in some cases electric cars still made sense, the researchers said. Big impact The team looked at the life-cycle impact of conventional and electric vehicles. In essence, they considered how the production, the use and the end-of-life dismantling of a car affects the environment, explained co-author Prof Anders Hammer Stromman. \"The production phase of electric vehicles proved substantially more environmentally intensive,\" the report said, comparing it to how petrol and diesel cars are made. \"The global warming potential from electric vehicle production is about twice that of conventional vehicles.\" In addition, producing batteries and electric motors requires a lot of toxic minerals such as nickel, copper and aluminium. Hence, the acidification impact is much greater than that of conventional car production. \"Across the other impacts considered in the analysis including potential for effects related to acid rain, airborne particulate matter, smog, human toxicity, ecosystem toxicity and depletion of fossil fuel and mineral resources, electric vehicles consistently perform worse or on par with modern internal combustion engine vehicles, despite virtually zero direct emissions during operation,\" according to Prof Stromman. 'Counterproductive' efforts With electric car production being so damaging to the environment, these cars have already polluted a great deal by the time they hit the road, the report says. However, if the cars were then powered by electricity made from low-carbon electricity sources, they could nevertheless offer \"the potential for substantial reductions in greenhouse gas emissions and exposure to tailpipe emissions\" over time. However, in regions where fossil fuels are the main sources of power, electric cars offer no benefits and may even cause more harm, the report said. \"It is counterproductive to promote electric vehicles in regions where electricity is primarily produced from lignite, coal or even heavy oil combustion.\" European benefits In Europe, where electricity is produced in a number of different ways, electric cars do offer environmental benefits when compared with cars with internal combustion engines, according to the study. \"Electric vehicles powered by the present European electricity mix offer a 10% to 24% decrease in their global warming potential relative to conventional diesel or petrol vehicles.\" This is in line with calculations made by some carmakers. \"According to our results, a battery electric vehicle, with electricity produced by the power generation mix we currently have in Europe, compares favourably in the magnitude of 10% or so with diesel,\" Daimler's chief executive Dieter Zetsche told the BBC. Longer lives The report pointed out that the longer an electric car in Europe stays mobile, the greater its \"lead\" over petrol and diesel engines. \"Assuming a vehicle lifetime of 200,000km exaggerates the global warming benefits of electric vehicles to 27-29% relative to petrol and 17-20% relative to diesel,\" it said. \"An assumption of 100,000km decreases the benefit of electric vehicles to 9-14% with respect to petrol vehicles and results in impacts indistinguishable from those of a diesel vehicle.\" An electric car's longevity depends a great deal on how long its battery lasts, not least since it is very expensive to replace them. Batteries are gradually getting better, which could result in electric cars being used for longer. However, as petrol and diesel engines are also improving, the relationships between the different types of vehicles are not constant. \"A more significant reduction in global warming could potentially be achieved by increasing fuel efficiency or shifting from petrol to diesel,\" the report said. \"If you are considering purchasing an electric vehicle for its environmental benefits, first check your electricity source and second look closely at the warranty on the batteries,\" said Professor Stromman. Those in power, meanwhile, should recognise \"the many potential advantages of electric vehicles [which] should serve as a motivation for cleaning up regional electricity mixes\".",

            "input": "By Laurence KnightBusiness reporter, BBC News Before I try to answer these questions, I should declare an interest: For six years I worked on the trading floor of an investment bank. I wasn't a trader. But my job involved me interacting with traders on a daily basis. I started by contacting Bruno Curnier. In 2002 he trained me, along with about 200 other fresh-faced graduate recruits, in the basics of financial markets - something he has been doing for well over a decade. \"A trader is someone whose focus is on achieving short-term profit,\" he tells me. \"That focus is so potent that sometimes the ends justify the means.\" Profit motive? This tallies with my own experience. For many traders, their sense of self-worth is defined almost uniquely by their \"P&L\" - the profit and loss they make for the bank - and, by implication, the size of their bonus. Making a profitable trade shows that they are right. And the bigger the profit, the more right they are. As for the enormous bonuses (and for many, Adoboli's, at £250,000, was not so enormous), their importance is not so much in the material wealth they bring, so much as the recognition of the trader's status and success. I have known horrendously overpaid traders become very angry when they discovered they were not getting as much as an allegedly less successful colleague. My boss once sent round an article about a monkey test that illustrated the point nicely. Adoboli specifically denied being motivated by personal gain in the form of a bonus, and the jury appear to have believed him. But he does nonetheless seem to have suffered from a fixation on profit above all else, which he claimed was because he felt under pressure to produce results. This fixation seems evident from the confessional email he sent to his risk controller when he realised he could no longer hide his losses. In it, he claimed that he had almost managed to succeed in recouping his losses at one point, before the market turned against him. By that logic, it was as if he were saying he had been unlucky, as if this mitigated the fact that he had been behaving totally irresponsibly. 'Gekko syndrome' So why do banks recruit these gamblers in the first place? \"What I have observed is a big emphasis in banks on technical competence - high cognitive ability or IQ,\" says Mr Curnier. \"When it comes to EQ [Emotional Quotient], my sense is that people are not spending a lot of time focusing on that.\" EQ is a measure of individuals' ability to manage their emotions and their relations with others, developed by psychologist Daniel Goleman. Mr Curnier says many traders suffer from \"Gekko syndrome\", like the \"greed is good\" anti-hero of the film Wall Street. They lack self-awareness - the ability to understand their own emotions and how they affect others. The aggressive, risk-taking, boundary-pushing, \"high-roller\" image of the trader tends to attract exactly that kind of applicant. This self-selection effect can then be reinforced by a recruitment process in which the successful candidates are ultimately picked by the traders they will work for. \"I don't think some traders have any clue how to manage people. They recruit people they like - if they see the same drive,\" says Mr Curnier. Indeed, many traders actively avoid promotion to managerial posts - something that would take them away from the buzz of winning in the market they know and love. And many of the most successful traders end up being paid a lot more than their managers, sometimes even more than the head of their bank. Aggressive Of course, not all traders are alike, and Mr Curnier is at pains to point out that he has also met many traders with very high ethical standards. My personal experience is that they come in three main varieties, and the variety depends very much on the type of market they work in. The most stereotypically aggressive are the \"flow\" traders - people who work in the simplest, most competitive and fast-moving markets, such as currencies or shares. Where I worked, the currency trading desks resembled an arcade. The traders had rigged their computers to blare out noises or tunes every time they bought or sold. Then there were the \"quant\" traders - those dealing with financial options or complicated transactions know as synthetic CDOs. They were brainy types, who needed to have an intuitive grip on the complex maths involved, and occasionally blew up when they got their maths wrong. Finally, there were the \"elephant hunters\". These characters might spend months on one big transaction earning millions of dollars in profit. They too were deep thinkers, but their thoughts were turned to negotiating tactics, complex legal documents and accounting issues. They also seemed to be mostly likeable family men. Testosterone Nearly all of the traders that I have heard of losing millions or billions (including two minor cases that never became public) fit somewhere between the first two types. They dealt in products that were not too complex (by investment banking standards) and could be traded in large volume. But their products were complicated enough to create risks that were poorly understood - either by the trader himself, or by the people who were supposed to be overseeing him. Oh, and by the way, I say \"him\" for a reason. The vast majority of traders are men. At spread-betting firm City Index, the male-to-female ratio of punters is 10:1. The reason is to do with male physiology. According to research in 2007, traders are more successful when they are high on their own hormones, including adrenalin, cortisol and testosterone. It physically gears them up for battle, making them more persistent and more willing to take risks. Success in trading then leads to higher hormone levels and even more risky behaviour. It becomes a feedback loop, called the \"winner effect\". The same effect is evident in nature - animals that win fights for alpha male status experience a testosterone rush that makes them even more willing to fight and push their way to the top. It is also well documented among athletes ahead of a game or a race. \"What I firmly believe is that financial risk-taking is a profoundly physical act,\" says John Coates who jointly ran the study and is himself a former bank trader. \"It's a bit like an army gearing up for a cavalry charge. If we are doing well, the body tells us: 'Go for it, there's fruit everywhere'.\" The downside is that it makes the winner stupidly reckless - Mr Coates says that when traders blow up, it typically comes at the end of a long winning streak. And this is what seems to have happened with Adoboli. Having successfully hidden a permissible, albeit embarrassing, $400,000 loss in 2008, Adoboli went on to take bigger and bigger bets, ultimately resulting in a loss 5,000 times bigger in 2011. Away from the bank, he was even taking extra bets with his own money, leading the prosecution to accuse him of being \"addicted to gambling\". Doubling down The last piece of the psychological puzzle is the mental trap that a rogue trader finds himself in once the losses start stacking up and he faces an impending deadline at which point the game will be up. It presents him with a classic game of double or quits. He can either: The problem for the bank is that, beyond a certain point, the trader's losses are in effect capped: He knows that the worst that can happen to him is that he loses his job and faces criminal charges. Meanwhile, the billions in losses will have to be picked up by the bank - although this did not stop Societe Generale successfully (at least on paper) winning damages against Jerome Kerviel for the entire 4.9bn euros he had lost. In the first scenario, the trader's worst case happens with 100% probability, whereas in the second, it is only 50%. Unsurprisingly, he goes for option 2. If he is really unlucky, he keeps having to double up again and again, until the losses become astronomical. In Adoboli's case, he changed his bet twice, and both times the market changed direction against him. It just makes you wonder how many lucky rogue traders there have been that never came to light.",

But one of the barrage's key supporters Neath MP Peter Hain says the UK government has refused to commit to it. In June MPs said Hafren had failed to make the case that it would be good for the economy or the environment. In a report, the House of Commons' Energy and Climate Change Committee criticised a \"lack of information and a perceived lack of transparency\" about the proposal. The case for the barrage is \"unproven\" and Hafren Power \"has yet to provide robust and independently verified evidence of the economic, environmental and technological viability of the project\", the report said. MPs were warned also about the potential of job losses in nearby ports, and concluded the scheme is no \"knight in shining armour\" to meet renewable energy targets. The committee said the UK government should remain open to considering a project in the Severn but \"far more detail and evidence\" would be required to make an informed decision about Hafren Power's proposal. Supporters of the scheme argue the tidal barrage could generate 5% of the UK's electricity. And earlier this year, former Welsh Secretary Mr Hain said the time had come to press ahead and build the Severn Barrage as the proposal has been \"studied to death\". But speaking to BBC Radio Wales, Mr Hain said: \"It (the UK government) refuses to say whether it backs it or opposes it. \"In practice it has put it into the long grass and therefore as far as this Parliament is concerned it is dead in the water but not as far as the future is concerned.\" Mr Hain, who quit the shadow cabinet to back the barrage, said the government was guilty of \"stubborn refusal\" to engage. \"It really made me feel that they weren't interested in it,\" he added. \"It's very, very disappointing because it could have been and still could be under a future government in a future Parliament an absolutely key part of producing our energy security.\" When the scheme was launched, Mr Hain said the barrage would bring \"considerable benefits\" to the UK - creating about 20,000 jobs and generating 30,000 more in the supply chain and other parts of industry, giving an economic boost to south Wales and south-west England. The electricity generated would be equivalent to three or four nuclear power stations and thousands of wind turbines, he said. The UK government has been asked to comment.",

It is understood that the PSNI and the Public Prosecution Service (PPS) have discussed what measures could be available to protect witnesses fearful of giving evidence at trial. Det Supt Murphy said there had been a \"palpable change\" in community sentiment in support of their investigation since the murder of the 29-year-old on Thursday in terms of off-the-record intelligence. He urged members of the public to \"come forward and have a conversation with me\". \"I want to reassure people that you don't have to commit to anything today. I just need to speak to people to understand what they know,\" he said. \"We can then look at how we capture that information in the best way possible to protect those witnesses and enable me to bring the gunman who killed Lyra McKee to justice.\" The PSNI has asked to meet with local community leaders and influencers to help them identify any witnesses or those with information. \"This was an attack on the community. Lyra, tragically, was a random victim and I need the public to continue to support us,\" added Det Supt Murphy. \"My challenge is, how do I convert that community intelligence and information into raw evidence that allows me bring offenders to justice.\" Ms McKee's funeral will held at St Anne's Cathedral in Belfast on Wednesday. Her partner Sara Canning said the service would be a \"celebration of her life\". It is understood the funeral service will be attended by political and faith leaders from across Northern Ireland. Writing on Facebook, Ms Canning called on attendees to wear Harry Potter and Marvel related items. 'Liberated' Meanwhile, the Catholic bishop of Derry said the community in the nationalist area where Lyra McKee was shot dead needs to be \"liberated\" from dissident republicans. The words \"not in our name - RIP Lyra\" have been added to the famous Free Derry mural in the city's Bogside area. 'Disgusted by what happened' Ms McKee was standing near a police 4x4 vehicle when she was shot after a masked gunman fired towards police and onlookers. A statement issued by the hard-left republican political party Saoradh on Friday sought to justify the use of violence on Thursday night. Saoradh, which translates as liberation in Irish, has the support of the dissident republican group the New IRA. A protest by friends of Ms McKee took place on Monday outside an office in Derry used by dissident republican political groups. A number of women smeared red paint in hand prints on republican slogans outside the office. Police were present. They filmed, but did not make any immediate arrests. Bishop Donal McKeown said the \"small\" group of dissident republicans in Derry is a \"danger to all of us\". He told the BBC's Sunday Sequence programme that people in the Creggan estate were \"disgusted at what happened\". \"The one liberation they require in that community is liberation from Saoradh,\" he said. \"We don't want to be laboured with a reputation that comes from a small group that represents a small number of people but is actually a danger to all of us.\" Ms McKee's killing came 21 years after the Good Friday peace agreement was signed in Northern Ireland. The 1998 peace deal marked the end in the region of decades of violent conflict - known as the Troubles - involving republicans and loyalists during which about 3,600 people are estimated to have died. The Good Friday Agreement was the result of intense negotiations involving the UK and Irish governments and Northern Ireland's political parties.",

            "input": "By Ninotchka RoscaFilipina author Alex Tizon's A Slave in the Family generated a maelstrom. A confessional-memoir, it remembers Eudocia Tomas Pulido, who had been a gift from his grandfather to his mother and who served the family for 56 years - without pay. Mr Tizon did not evade the issue, naming her a \"slave\" - though he also called her Lola (grandmother). The word was a trigger. It named the essence of a servitude familiar to Filipinos, both at home and overseas. Few have childhood memories without the presence of the caretaker, the yaya, the utusan (the one commanded), katulong (helpmate), kasambahay (home companion) - and now, the industrialized domestic worker. The name keeps morphing - but the essence of servitude remains the same: a life held hostage. The pre-Hispanic name for the household slave was aliping sagigilid - the gilid embedded in the term means \"periphery\" or \"on the margins\" - a precise summing up of the relationship between the served and the one who serves: of the family, but not in the family. It is a power relationship, indicating the status of the one who serves. I once referred a Filipina American - who was having cash-flow problems - to house cleaning work for another friend. After a week, she quit. The pay was good, the employer was fine, but she \"couldn't stand the power dynamics\". One had to be groomed - by culture, by tradition, by authority - into servitude. Life in service Life-long servants are not a rarity in the Philippines. In the multitude of household help in my family, there was always one who stayed. In 2007, Emma, who had cared for my mother in her final years, said she had been with our family for 40 years. Recruited as a teenager, she had grown up in my younger sister's family, had become a live-out help, married, had children and funnelled nieces and nephews into service with various branches of my clan. \"My family has orbited your family for four decades,\" she said. That was the first time I learned her last name. A full identity is not given those at the periphery. We learn early enough that there is always a woman poorer and more vulnerable who can take on the relentless burden of housekeeping. I can see a procession of women whose last names I never knew but who served my family: from the reflection in the mirror of myself carried by a yaya (baby caregiver) to the young woman who finally graduated from college and left my employ. They were invariably browner and from the rural areas, recruited by friends and relations who were landowners. Browner because class and colour do correlate in the Philippines, though this is blithely ignored. The Spanish-created feudal patriarchal family which persists to this day was a major historical education toward servitude and self-sacrifice. Mr Tizon's grandfather, a landowner, gave Ms Pulido to his daughter as a gift; it was he who administered 12 lashes on Ms Pulido, as punishment for his own daughter's transgression, sealing thereby in the girl's mind the conviction that those who serve must also endure undeserved punishment. Ms Pulido's enslavement, in the context of millions of Filipinas in domestic work in some 200 countries, hits hard. 'Grooming toward servitude' The common reason for Filipinas entering servitude is the same siren song used by Mr Tizon's parents to convince Ms Pulido to leave with them: she would be able to build a better house for her parents. The same seductive hope fuels the condominium and subdivision boom in the Philippines. By April of this year, remittances to the Philippines had reached a record $2.6bn - enough to offset the balance of trade deficit of $2.3bn. According to the Walk Free Foundation, one of two Filipinas working overseas is \"unskilled\" and \"employed as a domestic worker, cleaner or in the service sector\". This persistent devaluing of women's work is a key element in the grooming toward servitude. Poverty is, of course, a key to the creation of a category of women whose lives can be held hostage. In China, where the poor make up 8% of the population, women are still associated with marriage, children, family and homemaking. In the same way, a woman with a career in the Philippines still remains responsible for the household, and is the principal nurturer. While today's options for Filipinas may not be as limited as Ms Pulido's was, her story echoes the irony of fate for millions of Filipinas. To build a home at home, she has to leave home. She must be indentured to a stranger family, for her own family and the national home to survive. How to disrupt this relentless demand for self-sacrifice is the question we wrestle with, considering how amply the world rewards selfishness. Ninotchka Rosca was born and raised in the Philippines, and lives in New York City. She is the author of two novels, and co-founded the women's organization AF3IRM in the United States. She returns to the Philippines regularly.",

But delays in shipments from China to Japan were now \"unavoidable\" Nintendo said on Friday. It was unclear if other markets would be disrupted. On Wednesday, carmaker Tesla warned of disruption to its China operations. Deliveries within China of Tesla's Model 3 vehicle would be temporarily delayed, a company executive said, following an extended production shutdown. Shares in the company, which have risen sharply recently, sank 17%. Rising death toll Nintendo began moving part of its production to Vietnam from China in 2019 as supply chains were hit by the Sino-US trade war. But it does not have enough capacity in the Southeast Asian country to offset the disruption from the outbreak. Nintendo said production and shipping of peripherals such as Joy-Con controllers to the Japanese market would also be hit. Supply of the Ring Fit Adventure gadget, already hard to find in some countries, is also being affected, Nintendo added. The death toll from the coronavirus in mainland China has jumped by 73 to 563, with total confirmed infections standing at more than 28,000 there, while 10 more people on a quarantined cruise liner in Japan have tested positive for the virus. Major motor manufacturers with operations in Asia have reported that the outbreak of the new virus, and measures to limit its spread, are having a negative impact on supply chains. Tesla plans to restart production on 10 February, according to a social media post on Weibo from Tesla Vice President Tao Lin. Tesla's vast new factory, which began operations in October 2019, is a crucial part of its plans to make more than 500,000 cars this year. Its first \"Made in China\" cars were delivered at the end of last year, marking a major milestone for the company. The company's shares have risen sharply in recent months after it posted a rare quarterly profit in October and hit delivery targets. Last month, Tesla replaced Volkswagen as the world's second most valuable carmaker, after a dramatic rise in share price pushed its market value to more than $100bn. This week the company's stock market valuation passed the $150bn mark. It now ranks as the world's second most valuable car company after Toyota. China is a major manufacturer of car parts and with factories closed across the country the global motor industry is facing major disruptions to supplies. On Tuesday Hyundai, the world's fifth biggest car maker, said that it had shut all of its factories in South Korea because it had run out of Chinese components. Hyundai has said it aims to resume production at the plants early next week. Other major carmakers, including Nissan, Toyota, Honda and Ford, have been forced to temporarily close their operations in China. Major planemakers are also being forced to close plants in China as they respond to the spread of the virus. Airbus has extended the shutdown of its factory in Tianjin, near Beijing beyond the Lunar New Year holiday. Boeing, which had already stopped work on its crisis-hit 737 MAX in the eastern city of Zhoushan, said it would also delay the reopening of offices. French group Safran, which makes helicopter engines and plane parts in China, has said it will keep its operations there closed until Monday.",

After a series of earlier errors, the Ofqual exams watchdog warned exam boards against any more mistakes. Education Secretary Michael Gove has been \"angered\" by the latest errors. Both the AQA and OCR boards have apologised for the mistakes. Earlier this month, Ofqual reassured candidates that it was addressing the problem of errors in exam papers - after pupils had been confronted with unanswerable questions. But three more errors have emerged, including two in papers taken on Tuesday. This means that there have been at least nine mistakes in exams taken by pupils this summer. Ofqual says it will \"now be seeking explanations as to why these errors still occurred\". Printing error An OCR spokesman said the exam board was \"deeply unhappy\" about the latest errors and there would be an investigation and jobs could be lost as a result. The Department for Education said the errors were \"completely unacceptable\" and that the Education Secretary Michael Gove was angry. \"He has said repeatedly that the exam system is discredited and action must be taken. \"The department has been in close contact with Ofqual and the Secretary of State is speaking to them today to get a briefing on what action they are taking.\" The National Union of Students' vice president for further education, Shane Chowen, said: \"Despite calls to ensure they avoided further mistakes, exam boards are creating confusion and failing students. \"The responsible exam boards must be compelled to pay for students who have been disadvantaged by these errors to resit.\" The Latin GCSE error, in a paper taken by up to 8,000 pupils, contained three errors which represented 14 out of 50 marks. Examiners will now have to decide how to mark the paper in a way that will treat candidates fairly. An error in a question in the A-level physics paper, taken on Tuesday morning, meant that pupils were asked to answer a question which included incorrect units of measurement. A candidate taking the OCR exam paper told the BBC that pupils \"were given a few minutes extra in our exam when the mistake was spotted and it caused some disruption\". There was also a printing error in a maths GCSE foundation paper, also taken by pupils on Tuesday morning, set by the AQA exam board. Some of the papers, given to 31,659 students, had questions from a previous paper accidentally printed in the middle of it, AQA said. It estimates that the printing error affects only 2,500 of the total. AQA said it was sorry that the error had caused some students distress. It added: \"From the information we have at this stage, it seems that some of the papers contained questions from the March 2011 paper. \"We understand the problem version of the paper begins and ends with June questions, but has March questions in the middle of it.\" AQA said in some of the papers one of the questions had another from a previous paper printed in the middle of it - making it difficult for candidates to follow. It said 80% of the June paper was wrongly made up from questions from the earlier paper. It added: \"We have told schools that students should attempt the paper as it is and we will consider the most appropriate action to protect students' interests, when we have a full understanding of the extent of the problem. \"The batches of papers that we checked as part of our quality assurance process are all fine and we are in the process of investigating with our printers how this problem has arisen. \"As with any problem of this nature, our top priority is to protect the interests of students and we will ensure that no student is disadvantaged by this printing error.\" These latest problems follow a series of high-profile mistakes in recent weeks. These included a multiple choice question where all the answers were incorrect and a question where the information needed to make a calculation was missing from the paper.",

The move comes as Republicans told Mr Obama a sweeping immigration bill passed by the Senate last year will not see a vote in the House this year. The US has seen a sharp increase in number of children trying to cross illegally into the US. From October 2013 to 15 June, 52,000 unaccompanied children arrived on the US border with Mexico, according to the US Homeland Security department. Speaking at the White House on Monday, Mr Obama said this \"humanitarian crisis\" showed why he could not \"stand by and do nothing\". The Senate bill, passed in a 68-32 vote, includes a path to citizenship for an estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants, billions in new funding for border security and a start-up visa for foreign entrepreneurs. The shift in border resources will effectively mean more deportations for those who have recently crossed the US border illegally or who are considered dangerous, but fewer deportations for those in the interior of the country. In addition to the transfer of staffing south, Mr Obama said he was directing the secretary of homeland security and the US attorney general to come up with recommendations about what he could do within his presidential powers to improve the US immigration system. Those recommendations are expected to be delivered by the end of summer. \"I take executive action only when we have a serious problem, a serious issue, and Congress chooses to do nothing,\" said Mr Obama. Mr Obama laid the blame for a lack of an immigration vote on the Republican leadership, saying there were members of the opposing party in both chambers who were willing to compromise on a solution. A spokesman for House Speaker John Boehner confirmed no vote would be forthcoming. \"Speaker Boehner told the president exactly what he has been telling him - the American people and their elected officials don't trust him to enforce the law as written,\" Michael Steel said. \"Until that changes, it is going to be difficult to make progress on this issue.\"",

At the height of the major incident, paramedics told the BBC the Royal Stoke's A&E department had temporarily closed its doors, although the trust could not confirm this. But the trust, which also runs the former Stafford Hospital, was forced to cancel some operations due to the increased pressure on services.

Jules Schelvis lost most of his family in the war and survived six more camps until he was finally freed in 1945.

He died at his home in Amstelveen, near Amsterdam. Schelvis began writing about the camp in the 1980s when he retired and set up the Sobibor Foundation . He was transported to Sobibor aged 22 from the Westerbork camp in June 1943, along with his wife and in-laws who were murdered within hours. Schelvis himself was later sent to a labour camp after speaking to an SS officer using German he had learned at school.

There has been controversy over two boys whose families want them to have legal access to cannabis-based products that are currently illegal in the UK. Six-year-old Alfie Dingley and 12-year-old Billy Caldwell both suffer multiple seizures every day because of rare and treatment-resistant forms of epilepsy. It's true that the UK was the main producer and exporter of cannabis-based medicines in 2016, according to the UN's International Narcotics Control Board (INCB). The majority of it ended up in the US. Virtually all of that is one drug - Sativex - which is licensed to treat muscle stiffness and spasms in people with multiple sclerosis. Sativex is available throughout the UK but only provided free on the NHS in Wales. The Home Office says it doesn't define it as cannabis and that the UK doesn't export any cannabis in its raw form. Cannabis, along with many of the more than 100 chemicals it's made up of, is a controlled substance - possession and supply are punishable with fines and imprisonment. The family of Alfie Dingley want permission to use cannabis oil from the whole plant, which they believe will work better than any legal alternative. Cannabis is also being grown legally in the UK for another medicine, Epidiolex. It's currently being reviewed for the treatment of two rare forms of uncontrollable epilepsy, by medicine agencies in both the US and Europe. But it's not yet available. The specially bred type of cannabis plant used to make it is grown in a glasshouse in Wissington, Norfolk, by British Sugar - which also grows virtually all of the sugar beet in the UK. British Sugar - whose managing director is Paul Kenward - has an exclusive deal with pharmaceutical company GW, which makes Epidiolex. Mr Kenward is married to drugs minister Victoria Atkins. She was accused of \"hypocrisy on a grand scale\" over her husband's involvement in a legal cannabis farm. She declared the interest in Parliament when she was appointed in 2017 and excused herself from speaking for the government on cannabis.

Miss Brown, Mr Finnikin's friend of 40 years, said: \"His greatest wish was to go out with a bang in a rocket over Ashbourne.\" She had planned to use about 30 rockets, each containing a teaspoon of ash, in an eight-minute display on a council-owned playing field on 6 February. \"He had lived in Ashbourne all his life,\" she said. \"He was one of those local characters who would walk down the street and half the street would stop and talk to him. \"He had a larger than life and wicked sense of humour.

He warned of \"serious consequences\" should that be found to be the case. The 168-year-old News of the World shut down on Sunday after numerous accusations of phone hacking. Other papers owned by Rupert Murdoch have faced similar allegations. Mr Rockefeller, a Democrat, was the first major voice in the US Congress to call for an investigation into the scandal, which has gripped Britain. The BBC's Steve Kingstone in Washington says these are the first signs that the hacking story is extending across the Atlantic. 'Breach of ethics' In a written statement, Mr Rockefeller said he was concerned that hacking by News Corporation journalists may have extended to American targets, including victims of the 11 September attacks. He did not present any evidence to support that claim, but called on the authorities to look into any possible wrong-doing. \"I encourage the appropriate agencies to investigate to ensure that Americans have not had their privacy violated,\" he said. \"The reported hacking by News Corporation newspapers against a range of individuals - including children - is offensive and a serious breach of journalistic ethics. This raises serious questions about whether the company has broken US law,\" he said. Mr Murdoch's American assets include Fox News, The Wall Street Journal, the New York Post and Harper Collins publishers.

Conservative Prime Minister David Cameron is also expected to make a statement to MPs on the nature of an inquiry into the hacking allegations.

Many of the allegations on the website refer to sexual harassment carried out against young women by young men at their school or university. Ofsted has published plans for a review into safeguarding policies and practices on sexual abuse in state and independent schools and colleges. Its chief inspector, Amanda Spielman, said she had been \"deeply troubled\" by the posts on the website. Ms Spielman said her inspectors' review would establish whether current safeguarding guidance was understood by schools and colleges, and if it was allowing them to \"respond effectively\" to allegations. It will also examine whether schools and colleges need extra support in teaching students about sex and relationships, and if current inspection regimes, in both state and private schools, are robust enough around the issue of sexual abuse. The review will also consider how well schools and colleges are working with local multi-agency safeguarding partners. It is due to be completed by the end of May. Ms Spielman said: \"Like so many others, I have been deeply troubled by the allegations of sexual abuse posted on the 'Everyone's Invited' website. \"Many of the testimonies reveal that girls have not felt able to report incidents of sexual abuse to their schools. \"We hope that by listening to young people's experiences first-hand, this review will provide much needed insight into what these barriers are, and how they can be overcome.\" Education Secretary Gavin Williamson said that sexual abuse was abhorrent and that it was vital that these allegations were \"dealt with properly\".

Ofsted inspectors gave the school their lowest rating - inadequate - in 2017 prompting the Department of Education to order the school be turned into an academy.

Mr Sánchez's PSOE party gained the most seats in April's election, but fell short of a majority. He now has two more months to find a solution or face a general election. It would be the country's fourth in four years. Speaking ahead of Thursday's vote, Mr Sánchez said he was \"sorry\" that a coalition deal could not be reached with Podemos. \"We have demonstrated a noble willingness to reach a deal,\" he said, adding that his party's proposals had been rejected \"one after another\". Podemos said its ministers had only been offered \"inexistent or empty\" roles within the government, with leader Pablo Iglesias suggesting the Socialists had shown his party a lack of \"respect\". Mr Sánchez lost his first post-election confidence vote on Tuesday and lost his second by 155 votes to 124, with 67 abstentions. The session in parliament was adjourned after his defeat. How did we get here? Thursday's result follows weeks of fractious negotiations and political turmoil. On Wednesday, coalition negotiations broke down, with Mr Sánchez's Socialists rejecting Podemos's demands for key posts within government. The Socialist party's acting Deputy Prime Minister, Carmen Calvo, said Podemos \"have literally asked us to give them the government\" rather than form a coalition together. A number of smaller parties had said they would back Mr Sánchez, but only if a deal were agreed with Podemos. Spain's right-wing parties, meanwhile, refused to support him. While Tuesday's vote had required Mr Sánchez to secure an absolute majority of 176 seats in Congress's 350-seat parliament, Thursday's ballot required a simple majority of support from lawmakers. What were the sticking points? In return for joining a coalition, Podemos had asked for key positions such as deputy prime minister and social roles in his cabinet in charge of the environment, equality, employment and economics. But after last-ditch talks on Wednesday, Podemos said there had been \"little progress in the PSOE's proposals\", arguing that the Socialists wanted to keep social affairs ministries to themselves. The prime minister insisted he had made a good offer. Mr Iglesias had already agreed not to seek a ministerial position himself, in an attempt to find a deal. The two leaders have for months tried to find common ground and tensions spilled into the open during a debate at the start of the week, when Mr Iglesias accused the caretaker prime minister of offering only \"cosmetic\" roles. Separately, Mr Sánchez said that Mr Iglesias, whose views on the question of Catalonia's independence starkly differ from his, was \"the principal obstacle\" to agreeing on a new coalition. Among the smaller parties with representatives able to vote in parliament on Thursday were the conservative Popular Party (PP), the right-of-centre Ciudadanos (Citizens), the centre-left separatist Catalan Republican Left (ERC) party and the far-right Vox. Why is Catalonia so important? The future of Spain's semi-autonomous north-eastern region has been politically explosive ever since Catalonia's leaders held an independence referendum in October 2017. The vote had been outlawed by Spain, but the separatist leadership went ahead with it and then declared independence from Spain. The issue was a key reason why this year's snap election took place, because Catalan separatists withdrew their support at a key moment in February. A dozen Catalan leaders went on trial in Madrid the same month, facing charges including rebellion and sedition, and separatist MPs wanted concessions from the government. Mr Sánchez has sought to lower tensions with the region and has faced criticism from other political opponents. His administration has engaged with the pro-independence government, holding talks with current Catalan president Quim Torra - prompting PP leader Pablo Casado to label him \"the biggest villain in Spain's democratic history\". Ciudadanos has also accused Mr Sánchez of siding with \"enemies of Spain\" and wanting to \"liquidate\" the country.",

Lifelong Learning Minister Alun Davies has said the current system is \"no longer fit for purpose\". But some teaching unions have said they have \"serious concerns\" about the new bill and are waiting to see the full details of the planned legislation. If passed, the Additional Learning Needs and Educational Tribunal (ALNET) Bill could come into force by 2019. Last year, 23% of pupils with ALNs achieved five GCSEs compared with 59% of all pupils in Wales. In September, the Children's Commissioner for Wales criticised the current process for assessing children with ALNs and said the planned new legislation was \"a one in a generation opportunity\". As part of the bill, a single system - called an individual development plan - will replace \"statements\" which currently address the needs of an individual aged up to 25. The bill would also replace two terms known as \"special educational needs\" and \"learning difficulties and/or disabilities\", from which the current \"statements\" take their names. Nearly a quarter of learners in Wales experience some form of additional learning need during their early years or education, according to the Welsh Government. Bill outlined However, following the draft consultation on the new laws over the summer, several teaching unions flagged worries about the legislation. A joint statement by the ATL, NAHT Cymru, UCAC and UCU unions said ALN \"must be properly funded, with prevention of cuts by local authorities to ALN budgets\". The unions also demanded that educational establishments must have access to specialist services, such as psychologists and speech therapists, and that the all-important assessment process was made clear. UCAC said it welcomed the bill in general but wanted more assurances for Welsh speaking pupils. Plaid Cymru education spokesman Llyr Gruffydd welcomed the bill and said his party would \"work to ensure it offers the strongest possible support\" for children and young people with additional learning needs in Wales. He added: \"The current system for supporting those with special educational needs is based on a model that was introduced over 30 years ago. It's no longer fit for purpose and reform is long overdue.\" Darren Millar of the Welsh Conservatives said his party also welcomed the bill, saying: \"We look forward to scrutinising the legislation to ensure that it addresses key concerns around staffing capacity, finances and access to professionals for those who need them.\"",

Mrs Smith, who was diagnosed with cardiomyopathy 21 years ago, said: \"I feel as if I'm a new woman.\" \"I didn't feel any fatigue at all and it had been fatigue that I had been feeling previously - not breathlessness like some people experience.

Last week, the IMF said that, of the banks big enough to bring the financial system crashing down, Deutsche Bank was the riskiest. Not only that, Deutsche Bank's US unit was one of only two of 33 big banks to fail tests of financial strength set by the US central bank earlier this year. It's not hard to get scared when you look at a few numbers. Bear with me. In simple terms any bank is worth the difference between what it's owed and what it owes. In the case of Deutsche Bank that means the difference between assets of 1.64 trillion euros (yes, trillion) and liabilities of 1.58 trillion euros. Its net value is 60 billion euros. Sounds like a lot. BUT the value of what its owed doesn't need to move by much to wipe out its value completely. 'Financial apocalypse' The IMF and the US central bank aren't the only ones who think Deutsche Bank is risky. The share price has fallen early 70% in the last year. In fact, you can buy the whole bank for 20bn euros - a third of what it's worth on paper. Other banks trade at a discount to their net worth but Deutsche Bank is by far the biggest. For that reason, many people fear Deutsche Bank could be the first horseman of a new financial apocalypse. This is a strange position for the one-time financial muscleman of European banking to find itself in. There are few German companies more associated with the post-war economic miracle than Deutsche Bank. Long before the European Central Bank existed, it worked hand in glove with the seemingly infallible Bundesbank to provide rock solid non-inflationary growth for decades. It went truly global in the 1990s when it took the fight to the big US investment banks like JP Morgan and Goldman Sachs and was \"around the hoop\" (a US basketball metaphor beloved by investment bankers) wherever big deals were being done. That in a way is part of the bank's problem. Deutsche Bank, the parent company, is considered reasonably solid by the odd rules of banking regulation. The key score of a bank is its capital ratio. (I won't bore you with this but it's a calculation that divides the bank's own money (capital), plus anything you can convert into capital, by your assets, adjusted for how risky they are). The bare minimum is 7%. Deutsche Bank scores 11% - not great, but not terrible. Roughly the same as Barclays. The problem with Deutsche is that it doesn't have big retail banking and credit card businesses (both seen as reasonably safe and boring) to balance its bigger and riskier investment banking operations. 'Rock solid' There are two people standing in the way of Deutsche Bank and panic. The first is the current chief executive John Cryan. He is no swashbuckling Fred Goodwin (RBS) or Bob Diamond (Barclays) of pre-crisis notoriety. He is a very conservative, feet on the ground pragmatist. He's already managed to reduce the debt of the bank and has plans to do more. The other is even more important. German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble. He has said this year that he considers Deutsche Bank \"rock solid\". That is not only reassuring in itself, but indicates there is no way on earth that a rich German government would let the most important bank in Germany - and by extension Europe - come to any harm. At the time of writing, the Italian government is considering ignoring state aid rules to shore up its own fragile banks. If there was a similar need in Germany, you can be sure, say my banking sources, that Germany would do the same. Just to be clear - we are nowhere near that point now. However, as we learnt in the crisis of 2008, when governments do get involved investors can end up with next to nothing and that is why the shares are so cheap.",

            "input": "By Georgie BevanBBC Look East About half of trusts provided details of cancellations one to three days before admission. Hospitals must record cancellations on the day of an operation or of admission - but not those prior to that. But Ipswich Hospital has now said it will start keeping records of earlier cancellations. NHS England said official figures showed less than 1% of operations were cancelled at the last minute. Analysis By Caroline Parkinson, Health editor, BBC News website These figures shine a light on a hidden issue. Hospitals don't have to record these early non-medical cancellations, so the data provided by these 74 hospitals is the only indication we have of the extent of the problem. There is a view that the more notice a patient gets of a cancellation the better, because it allows more time to rearrange plans. But if operations are cancelled outside the official period, patients don't have the same rights to a date for their rescheduled operation. Of course, sometimes patients themselves cancel an operation at the last minute. And while very few hospitals had that data, the information from those that did suggest it could be a bigger problem than hospitals cancelling themselves. Official NHS England figures show about 7.7 million planned operations were carried out in England last year. There were 71,370 last-minute cancellations - either on the day the patient was meant to arrive, after they had arrived or on the day the operation was meant to take place. In each case, NHS rules say a patient should be offered a new date within 28 days. If that deadline is missed, hospitals are not paid for the operation, and it is recorded in official figures. However, operations cancelled outside of the official definition are not subject to the same rules. In Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, the definition of last-minute cancellations is wider - and is taken over several days. The BBC asked all 156 NHS trusts in England, via a Freedom of Information request, to provide figures for operations cancelled one to three days before a patient was due to be admitted. Seventy-four provided data suggesting they had cancelled 41,474 operations within that period - as opposed to 33,400 last-minute cancellations recorded for the same trusts in the official figures. 'Like a piece of meat' Iona Hevican from Cornwall waited a year for a planned hysterectomy operation, which was cancelled three times before it went ahead. She told the BBC: \"Every time they give you a date to go in for your operation there's a lot of preparing before you go in for that date, so any cancellation that you get is obviously a very traumatic time because of all the plans that you made, all your mindset, everything. \"Then just to say come back tomorrow, like you're nothing, like a piece of meat, then that's not good. \"They have to realise what goes into planning. They have to plan, and we have to plan.\" The main reasons for cancellations were a lack of beds or ward space and staff shortages. For operations cancelled on the day, emergencies take priority - something that can have a knock-on effect for operations scheduled for the following day as well. Twenty-nine trusts also provided data for cancellations made by patients themselves, which in many cases were higher than the number cancelled by the hospitals. An NHS England spokeswoman said: \"The proportion of patients seeing their operations cancelled at the last minute remains under 1% in spite of record numbers of operations being scheduled. \"Our national data collection rightly requires trusts to focus on monitoring the number of last-minute cancellations, as this is where the most distress is caused for patients. \"Hospitals should continue to ensure that every effort is made to reschedule cancelled operations as soon as possible.\" Scotland measures cancellations within 48 hours of the planned procedure. Figures published monthly show between 1-2% are cancelled for non-clinical reasons. In Northern Ireland, around 1,000 operations were cancelled in 2015 for non-clinical reasons on the day, or the day before. In Wales, around 1% of operations are cancelled for non-clinical reasons. 'Constantly juggling' The Queen Elizabeth Hospital in King's Lynn only saw five operations cancelled in 2015 one to three days before admission Chief executive Dorothy Hosein said its success was down to \"a lot of pre-planning\". The hospital, which cancelled 309 operations on the day in 2015, has three bed-planning meetings every day and is \"constantly juggling bed space and day surgery\". Mrs Hosein said: \"It is critical to patients, so planning ahead is essential. \"We have put a focus on not cancelling operations. \"The planning a patient does to get to this hospital is quite significant, mentally as well as around their lifestyle.\" Saffron Cordery, director of policy and strategy at NHS Providers, said: \"There are many reasons why operations are cancelled at short notice. \"Some of these may be due to poor scheduling and a lack of effective planning, but this is very often not the case. \"Increasingly, we are hearing from NHS trusts that it is often down to a more general lack of availability of critical care beds and a lack of anaesthetists and surgeons. \"It is also often down to ever increasing emergency cases requiring theatre time that exceeds level of demand that has been expected.\" Nora Cooke O'Dowd, a research analyst at the Nuffield Trust, said: \"If a person's operation has to be cancelled, it would be better if they are given as much notice as possible. \"It's stressful to have it cancelled on the day - the more notice, the better.\" But patient groups say cancelled operations could have a serious impact on people's health. Katherine Murphy, chief executive of the Patients' Association, said: \"You can't underestimate the upset for them, their family, their friends and everybody else if an operation is cancelled.\" Mrs Murphy said the association heard about the impact of cancelled operations \"every day\". \"We are talking about individuals who are often in pain or suffering,\" she said. \"They will have made lots of arrangements. \"It can have a huge psychological or financial impact on people.\"",

Speaking shortly after Atkinson's death, those who knew him in his early years at Ipswich Town told the BBC that his talent and raw speed were apparent from the moment he arrived. \"It was all about his blistering pace,\" said Jason Dozzell, a local boy who was already on Ipswich's books when the teenager first came to the club in 1983. The 14-year-old Atkinson would travel along with other young talent from around the country to train at Portman Road during the school holidays. This influx was a strange sight for Dozzell, who, like Atkinson, would go on to have a successful career. \"We had loads of people from up north come down in those days - lots from Newcastle,\" Dozzell said. \"Their accents were intriguing; you couldn't understand them. \"Dalian was a bit like that. He had a little bit of a lisp when he talked - it was quite hard to understand.\" Dozzell said that back then Atkinson, from Telford in Shropshire, was \"very skinny\" and would play as a right-winger - with exceptional pace. \"He made all my balls look good. You put it in front of him and he'd reach it,\" Dozzell said. Memories of Ipswich's most successful era were quickly fading - they had won the FA Cup in 1978 and the Uefa Cup in 1981 - as the club tried to get used to life without Bobby Robson, who became England manager in 1982. Atkinson and Dozzell were to be a key part of the club's revitalisation. \"We had a good understanding going after a while,\" Dozzell said. \"I knew where he wanted it and he knew I was going to put it there - he was on his bike as soon as that ball came in to me.\" Along with Michael Cole, Dozzell and Atkinson were referred to in a newspaper report as \"The Three Degrees\" - the world of 1980s football was not renowned for political correctness. Also speaking in 2016, fellow forward Cole remembered Atkinson as \"raw, pacey, and unpredictable - in a good way\" by the time they both became apprentices at Portman Road. \"Dalian was young, exuberant, fun to be around and had a raw talent - if and when he applied himself, he had an abundance of ability,\" Cole said. After becoming apprentices, the two teenagers were put up with Maurice and Shirley Crawford, who lived a few miles out of Ipswich in the village of Bramford. Mrs Crawford recalled how she had applied to the club to house a footballer, as it was a way of \"earning good money\", and ended up taking both Atkinson and Cole. \"I applied to have one footballer and when (the man from the club) came round to assess us, he said 'can you not put up another one?'\" Mrs Crawford said. \"He said 'how do you feel about him being black?' I said it didn't bother me. \"He said 'well could you take another one?' There were a lot of people who wouldn't take them on. I said 'it's going to be a bit squashed, but he said 'oh, you could take two single beds in that room'.\" Mrs Crawford has mostly fond memories of her lodgers, who were with her for about five years. \"They went through a stage - I think it was Dalian - where I'd go to the cupboard to get a biscuit and they were gone. We had to tighten up on that - 'you don't take, you ask'.\" The fact that they had to be available for Boxing Day fixtures meant the pair would be with the Crawfords on Christmas Day. \"One year I had 26 people for Christmas dinner and I told them they had to come down and join in - they went up to their bedroom afterwards but they did join in. They were quite sociable. \"I looked after them how a mum would look after them. It was the first time they'd left home so I'd cook for them, wash for them, iron for them - did everything else for them.\" Mrs Crawford's prevailing memory of Atkinson is of his love for the opposite sex. \"Dale, as we called him, liked the girls,\" she said. \"He was on the phone every Friday evening. He must have got a book of girls' names and if he didn't get one girl he went right down the list.\" Cole said he would always appreciate the time they spent together in Bramford. \"We were two young black kids, in an area that didn't have many black kids near us.... growing up together, enjoying playing football, wanting to progress. \"I don't think we would have made it through if we weren't there together. We helped each other get through the early stage.\" Cole has similar memories to those of his old landlady about his room-mate's extra-curricular activities. \"As a young person, cars and the fairer sex were the way Dalian looked at things off the pitch,\" he said. \"He loved a fast car. \"One of the first cars he bought was an Alfasud. We went out to Woodford or somewhere and there was a mechanic working on this car, making additions. It became apparent to me it wasn't a normal road car - there were roll bars and it had a souped-up engine. \"We spent time with him going to places like Norwich on a weekend after a match, hanging on to dear life. It was like rally car driving - but he was a really good driver. \"It was like a reflection of how he was on the pitch - it was fast and pacey.\" \"He was an absolute lunatic driver,\" agreed Dozzell. \"He was good fun but you couldn't tell him anything to slow down - he'd just give you a look, 'be quiet'. Everything was fast. Everything was an experience when you were hanging around him.\" By now, Atkinson was also beginning to have success on as well as off the pitch. Having lacked power and confidence in the early stages of his career, he returned to Ipswich one summer for pre-season training with a beefed-up appearance. \"He'd been on a weight programme and had bulked up,\" Cole said. \"He'd grown physically. Now he had not only the pace he had before, he now had power. \"There was something about him when he came back - he had intent. He wanted to be on that team-sheet as a first-team player.\" Atkinson made his first-team debut for Ipswich in March 1986, as a substitute in a 3-1 away defeat at Newcastle. By this time Dozzell was already a regular starter. \"Dalian got so much abuse warming up, and in those days a lot of it was racial,\" he said. \"He took so much stick he was thinking 'what's all this about?' But he came on and terrorised them.\" As his success on the pitch led to better contracts, Atkinson was able to exert his independence. Dozzell said his team-mate bought a house in Ipswich - but spent most of his free time out and about. \"He loved socialising, I'll give him that,\" said Dozzell. \"I was always with him, so I can't say anything. We liked travelling as well - we used to go to Norwich, Romford, everywhere. \"There were no mobile phones or anything in those days to get you in trouble.\" Atkinson left Ipswich in July 1989 to join top-flight Sheffield Wednesday. \"Ipswich were in the old Second Division and Sheffield Wednesday at the time were a big club,\" Dozzell said. \"I was pleased for him. He felt he had to move on to progress, to a bigger club, and at the time Sheffield Wednesday were. \"I don't think he was a football supporter, someone who went to watch a team or anything. He just wanted to make it really quick at the best club he could.\" He would go on to enjoy even greater success at Aston Villa, scoring in the final of the 1994 League Cup as the Birmingham club beat Manchester United - and of course netted that goal against Wimbledon, which was named the best strike of the 1992-93 season. But his career would peter out in the late 1990s and Atkinson found it hard to adjust to life after football, something Dozzell can relate to. \"The money was decent, but it's not enough for when you come out of the game,\" he said. \"There are a lot of people in Dalian's position who you don't hear about - they don't talk to people. \"There was no-one to talk to in those days and it was a bit of an embarrassment you going to talk to someone if you thought you had any problems. I heard he was depressed. I've had hard times, coming out of the game, what the hell do you do?\" Dozzell said he was \"devastated\" about his friend's death. \"He's died on the street that he probably used to play football on as a kid,\" said Dozzell. \"It's a tragic story. I'd heard he hadn't been well prior to this and hadn't got round to ringing him, which I'm disappointed in myself for. \"I'd heard he was quite ill, that he was in hospital. So I was disappointed in myself, and then this happens. \"We'd carry on where we'd left off the last time we saw each other, we didn't have to ring. That's just how we were. \"What's unfolded is tragic. He's the same age as me. It's so sad.\" Dalian Atkinson: Career This article has been updated since it was first published on 21 November 2016.",

The doctors called for tougher action on Google, Twitter and Facebook. All three firms told MPs they were working hard to tackle the problem. The social media giants were giving evidence to the Digital, Culture, Media and Sports committee's inquiry into online harms and disinformation. The MPs also questioned Facebook about its decision to let recent messages by US President Donald Trump appear unaltered on its app, despite Twitter adding fact checks and a warning label to identical posts to its platform. Salt water Paramedic Thomas Knowles told MPs: \"There were days when I was having multiple calls per day dealing with elements of misinformation.\" He added a lot of it was \"deliberate, well-constructed and peddled\" by people describing themselves as health practitioners. They had thousands of followers, he said, and made money from their false claims. Dr Megan Smith, a consultant anaesthetist, said \"doctors across the board\" had similar stories about patients not going to hospital because they had read on social media that Covid-19 was a mild illness, or because they had believed remedies such as gargling salt water would help. She said that social media sites \"facilitated the distribution\" of these falsehoods. In written evidence, one New York-based disease specialists added that deaths could have been prevented \"if we'd tightened our grip on misinformation\". Rotten state Monica Bickert, head of product policy at Facebook, said millions of Facebook users had viewed the official health information it had been promoting from sources such as the NHS since January. She was asked why a post mocking the death George Floyd, the black man who died in police custody last week, was not removed when it was flagged to them. She admitted the process of content removal was \"not perfect\". She was also questioned about Facebook's controversial decision not to intervene over President Trump's post about looting, despite the fact that Twitter had hidden it behind a warning that it glorified violence. She was asked what she thought about a letter sent to the New York Times by former employees expressing their dismay. \"It looks to me like something is rotten in the state of Facebook,\" commented one MP. Ms Bickert said she had not read the letter. \"The decision we made last week, the post did not violate our policies. These are longstanding policies. We allow people to discuss government use of force,\" she said. Promoting conspiracies YouTube was grilled by Home Affairs Committee chair Yvette Cooper, who joined the session as a guest, over the ways it promotes certain content. She told YouTube executive Leslie Miller that she had searched on the platform for clips related to 5G and David Icke, and had then been recommended an anti-vaccination video, even though she had not searched for anything on the topic. \"That is what I've been encouraged by YouTube to watch. Surely this is utterly irresponsible?\" she asked. In response Ms Miller said: \"I can't speak to that specific example but where there are videos that violate our policies we do work to remove them and reduce the availability of that content.\" She added that videos suggesting that 5G was causing coronavirus were being continually removed and David Icke's personal account had been taken down. Power of tweets Twitter's director of public policy Nick Pickles was asked whether the firm's decision to begin labelling some of President Trump's tweets had changed it from a platform into a publisher. \"Sometimes you don't want to remove the content but you do want to add context to help people understand and avoid people being confused, so that's the intervention that we deployed,\" he responded. When it came to content around Covid-19 he said it was \"very complicated particularly when there are pre-publication, non-peer-reviewed papers being discussed\". But he added that the benefit of social media over traditional media was that it gave \"many, many people a voice\". He used the example of the events around the killing of George Floyd, which he said had led to 10 million tweets using the hashtag #BlackLivesMatter. \"That was the most that movement had ever been talked about, and that can't happen in the traditional media world.\"",

But the estimated three-year project was delayed by two years after the original contractors tasked with the renovations, Opco Construction, went into administration in 2013. The gallery's Grade II-listed status and difficulties working on a busy city centre site also caused further delays. However, councillor Robert Francis-Davies, Swansea council's cabinet member for enterprise, development and regeneration, believes the improvements have been well worth the wait. \"Having overcome these issues, the people of Swansea and visitors to the city have a lot to look forward to when the gallery reopens to the public this autumn,\" he said. \"Staff are busy working on a top quality exhibition, educational and workshop programme that will benefit many hundreds of thousands of people, and will also soon start an extensive programme of returning and unpacking our vast collection and preparing the exhibition, public and learning areas for re-opening.\" Funded by the Arts Council of Wales, the Welsh Government, the Heritage Lottery Fund, conservation body Cadw, and Swansea council, the project includes a new lecture theatre, library, exhibition spaces and larger hold for the storage and conservation of delicate artwork. An extension links the 1970s and 1911 sections of the gallery, with a new entrance making the building fully wheelchair accessible for the first time. And first to be exhibited there will be 10 priceless Leonardo da Vinci drawings from the late 15th and early 16th centuries, loaned by the Royal Collection. The Italian, although a trained painter and best known for works including the Mona Lisa and The Last Supper, also expanded his activities into sculpture, architecture, engineering, botany, geology, zoology, mapmaking, hydraulics, optics and anatomy, and his principal tool of investigation was drawing. The drawings were originally bound in a single album, which was probably acquired in the 17th Century by King Charles II. Mr Francis-Davies said: \"These drawings from one of the greatest artists and intellectual minds the world has ever known will be of interest to both national and international audiences, so they're an ideal way to kick-start our plans to cement the gallery's reputation for cultural excellence.\" The Edwardian Baroque gallery was built to house the art collection of Richard Glynn Vivian, after the son of industrialist John Henry Vivian gifted it to the city. As well as paintings by Claude Monet, Augustus John and Kyffin Williams, it boasts an international collection of porcelain and Swansea china. The Da Vinci drawings will be on display from 15 October.",

McGowan has accused Weinstein of rape, but the film producer denies any sexual assaults. Many of those taking part in the boycott have also shared details of online abuse on the platform. The hashtag #WomenBoycottTwitter has been shared more than 190,000 times in a matter of hours. But some social media users have responded to the hashtag with misogynistic abuse and others have questioned whether a boycott is the best way to make the point. Twitter said Ms McGowan's account had been temporarily locked because one of her tweets violated its terms of service. But many social media users felt she had been silenced. A number of high-profile women were among those calling for a boycott, with several highlighting examples of abuse they had suffered online which had not resulted in the suspension of perpetrators' accounts. Minutes after model Chrissy Teigen tweeted her support for the boycott she shared examples of the abuse she had received online in response, some of it sexually explicit. Actress Tara Strong also shared examples of abusive and aggressive tweets she had been sent, questioning why Twitter had not taken action. \"They shut down Rose McGowan but not this dude,\" she tweeted, with images of abusive messages. \"Not even joking, his account lives.\" Actress Alyssa Milano, who starred alongside Rose McGowan in the TV series Charmed, said that she would be refraining from tweeting for the first time in a decade. Many men have also lent their support, including actors Mark Ruffalo and Terry Crews. Crews, a former NFL player who stars in US TV show Brooklyn Nine-Nine, earlier said he had also been the victim of sexual molestation by a Hollywood executive. Not everyone supported the boycott, even if they supported the sentiment which stood behind it. Some argued that going quiet on Twitter was not the best way to protest against women's voices being silenced on the platform, and called for more tweeting rather than less. Others, including director Ava DuVernay, suggested non-white women in similar positions had frequently not received the same level of support. \"Calling white women allies to recognise conflict of #WomenBoycottTwitter for women of colous who haven't received support on similar issues,\" she tweeted.",

A health committee was expected to meet later to review whether boys should also get the jab, which can protect against throat and penile cancers. Dr Kirsty Bonney, from Devon, paid privately for her sons Zak, 13 and Finn, 11 to be immunised. She made the decision after working on a chemotherapy unit, where she looked after two young men with HPV-related throat cancers. She said she wants to see boys \"equally protected\" with the HPV vaccine rather than risk cancer in later life. 'Fear of cancer' \"I could never really understand why we weren't vaccinating boys and then I discovered we could have it done privately,\" she explained. \"I'd be much happier knowing all the boys' friends were equally protected. \"I wouldn't want to be seeing one of their friends in my surgery in a few years time [with cancer] because they hadn't been vaccinated. \"[The jab] is certainly not cheap [at £540 for both boys] but the cost of that compared to the thought of them getting a throat cancer puts it into perspective.\" The Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) advises UK health departments on immunisation and is considering extending the programme to include boys. It said there was increasing evidence on links between HPV infection and other cancers. It will discuss the matter at a meeting later and has asked Public Health England to look at the cost effectiveness of such a change. Why should boys be vaccinated against HPV?

The 64-year-old said vaccinating girls alone made no sense. \"I am still living with cancer and most certainly my wife and I are living with the fear of cancer. We know it has shortened my life expectancy. \"There are vaccines available to prevent to protect people against this.

She said: \"This helps to prevent the spread of the disease in girls and boys. \"PHE has been asked by the independent Joint Committee for Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) to look at the impact of extending the HPV vaccination programme to adolescent boys. \"We are also running a pilot vaccination programme in men who have sex with men.

'Empty apology' Adams said his new apology was prompted by an extended \"period of isolation and reflection\" during lockdown. \"I've gotten past the point where I would be apologising just for the sake of being let off the hook and I know full well that any apology from me probably won't be accepted by those I've hurt,\" he wrote, in a letter published by the Daily Mail. \"I get that and I also understand that there's no going back.\" He acknowledged that many people would view his statement as \"the same empty apology\" he'd used in the past but added, \"this time it's different\". \"Having truly realized the harm that I've caused, it wrecked me, and I'm still reeling from the ripples of devastating effects that my actions triggered. \"No amount of growth will ever take away the suffering I had caused,\" he continued. \"I will never be off the hook and I am fully accountable for my harmful behaviour, and will be for my actions moving forward.\" Adams also said he was trying to give up alcohol. \"In my effort to be a better man, I have fought to get sober, but this time I'm doing it with professional help,\" he wrote. \"Sobriety is a priority in my life, and so is my mental health. These, as I'm learning, go hand in hand.\" \"I hope that the people I've hurt will heal,\" he concluded. \"And I hope that they will find a way to forgive me.\" However, Mandy Moore said she was surprised by Adams' public apology, because she had never received one in person. \"It's challenging because I feel like in many ways I've said all I want to say about him and that situation, but I find it curious that someone would make a public apology but not do it privately,\" she told NBC's Today programme. \"I am speaking for myself, but I have not heard from him, and I'm not looking for an apology necessarily, but I do find it curious that someone would do an interview about it without actually making amends privately.\" Her comments were echoed by Courtney Jaye, who appeared in the New York Times story last year, and model / actress Karen Elson, who subsequently described a \"traumatising experience\" with Adams. In a series of tweets, Elson said that while she \"believe[s] in redemption and amends even for him,\" Adams \"has not reached out to me since 2018 to apologise for his terrible behaviour.\" \"In fact back then he called me a liar which added more pain and made me disillusioned with the entire music industry,\" she added. \"I would like to hope he would contact women he has hurt via his representatives to apologise privately and give us the opportunity to speak our truth on all the ways his actions caused suffering and for him to listen and try to make amends.\" A prolific and mercurial musician, Adams received multiple Grammy nominations for his second album Gold, and reached the UK Top 10 with the records Ashes & Fire, Prisoner and the self-titled Ryan Adams. He has worked with rock legends including Willie Nelson and Elton John, who dubbed him the \"fabulous one\", and famously covered Taylor Swift's album 1989 in full, putting a country-Americana twist on her big pop statement. After the allegations against him surfaced last year, Blue Note cancelled the release of Adams' 18th album Big Colors. He has not released any new music since.

Sometimes making important calls as well I'll just get cut off.\" 'Gutted' By the time Deborah found out how bad her reception was it was too late. \"I found out how much it is to cancel the contract, about £300,\" she said. \"That's a lot of money, so basically I'm stuck with it for 18 months.\" The same goes for 23-year-old Marlon who signed up for another long deal without realising how bad the signal is where he lives. \"I felt gutted. I know I'm now going to be wasting money on something that I don't want. \"It's by direct debit but you can't do anything about it because you don't want the police knocking on your door.\" As for the idea of letting customers try before they buy, he reckons it's a great idea. \"I think that is perfect,\" he said. \"You can have your phone, see what it's like, see what the network is like and then sign up if you want to.\" Some mobile companies already give people a few days to cancel a contract. Others have online checks where you type in your postcode to find out how strong the signal is where you live. But none of that helped Deborah. She said: \"I feel really frustrated.

At the High Court, Lord Justice Flaux said disclosure was not necessary for the \"just determination\" of the case. Mr Dunn died when his motorbike was involved in a crash outside RAF Croughton in August last year. Mrs Sacoolas, 42, claimed diplomatic immunity afterwards and returned to the US. Despite being charged with causing death by dangerous driving in December, an extradition request was refused by the US. Charlotte Charles and Tim Dunn are bringing legal action against Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab and Northamptonshire Police, claiming they acted unlawfully over Mrs Sacoolas' departure. At a preliminary hearing on Thursday, conducted by video call, the Dunns argued the Foreign Office \"acted unlawfully by proceeding as if Anne Sacoolas conclusively had immunity\". They said that action prevented Northamptonshire Police \"from reaching an informed view\" on immunity. Geoffrey Robertson QC, representing the Dunns, told the court the Foreign Office had \"obstructed a criminal investigation, under pressure from the United States\". Mr Robertson said the case \"turns on the interpretation of a secret agreement made in 1995 between America and the UK, as a result of a US request to add up to 200 technical officers as diplomatic agents at RAF Croughton\". He said at the time the UK had been \"deeply concerned\" about the request and the danger of media interest if crimes - particularly road traffic-related crimes - were committed. Sir James Eadie QC, for the Foreign Office, said Mr Raab \"has acted lawfully at all times\". He argued the Foreign Office had \"given extensive disclosure, well in excess of what is strictly required\". Mr Robertson asked the court to order the Foreign Office to disclose documents about the 1995 agreement, as well as notes of phone calls and messages about Mr Dunn's death involving Foreign Office officials.

Mr Bloomfield said police figures from April showed there were 50% more calls over anti-social problems compared to the year before, prompting councillors to take action. Avon and Somerset police said they needed to target resources amid rising demand and falling officer numbers.

The security firm's staff wear body cameras to deter anti-social behaviour and their patrols do not overlap with police beats. Mr Bloomfield, who is also a former police officer, claimed the patrols \"had reduced anti-social behaviour\" but people had questioned why they were paying twice - for police and a private firm.

            "input": "\"My village's name is Ganda [meaning dirty or ugly in Hindi],\" Harpreet Kaur wrote to Prime Minister Narendra Modi in 2016 in an attempt to officially change its name. She added that just the name of the village was enough to prompt humiliating taunts from whomever she met. \"The situation was so bad that even our relatives mock us relentlessly,\" she said. In 2017, Mr Modi directed authorities to change the village's name. Today, the renamed village of Ajit Nagar stands proudly in the northern Indian state of Haryana. The village council chief, Lakwinder Ram, said they had been trying for years to get the attention of the government and change the name. \"When that didn't work, we thought that perhaps a young person writing directly to Mr Modi might move him,\" he said. \"There was not a soul in the village who didn't want the name to change.\" Locals say that Ganda got its name when a flood ravaged the area decades ago. An officer who visited in the aftermath of the disaster saw all the debris that had been swept in and remarked that it was extremely dirty or \"ganda\". Since then, they say, the name just stuck. Mr Ram added that the name of the village also drove away potential grooms since they did not want a bride from a village that had such a humiliating name. \"We are extremely relieved now,\" he said. But Ganda is hardly a unique case. Representatives from more than 50 villages have pestered the Indian government for a name change in the recent past. The reasons are varied - some names are seen as racist, others were just bizarre and a few more downright embarrassing for its inhabitants. \"The requests of some 40 villages have been accepted and implemented,\" Krishan Kumar, a senior federal government official, said. Among these, is a village called Kinnar which means transgender in Hindi. That became Gaibi Nagar in 2016. And in the northern Indian state of Rajasthan, a village in Alwar district used to be called Chor Basai. But since the word chor means thief in Hindi, the village's new name is now just Basai. But the process to get the name of a village changed is not that easy. To begin with, the state government must be convinced enough to take up the issue with the Indian government, which has the final authority. But before they can grant the request, the government also has to get clearances from other official units including the railways and postal department as well as the Survey of India. This is to ensure that the new proposed name does not exist anywhere else in the country. For residents of Lula Ahir village in Haryana state - a derogatory term for a disabled person in Hindi- the process has been fraught with bureaucracy. They first wrote to the state government in 2016, unhappy with the village name. \"We wanted to change the name to Dev Nagar,\" village council chief Virender Singh said. They waited for a response for six months - only to receive a rejection letter since a village named Dev Nagar already exists somewhere else in the country. Back at the drawing board, the village council decided to try once again with another name - Krishan Nagar. \"We wrote to the administration again and kept following it up with them,\" Mr Singh said. \"But it just went from one department to another.\" In July, they thought their luck had changed when the state's chief minister announced that the village had a new name. Instead, they found out that the decision hadn't been formally implemented by the central government yet. Officials confirmed that the request is still \"under process\". \"We have just been waiting and waiting ever since,\" Mr Singh said with a shrug.",

            "input": "By Will GrantBBC News, Mexico and Central America Correspondent For inmate Lillian Allen, the story of Michaella McCollum and Melissa Reid's arrest at Lima's airport for allegedly carrying some 11kg (24lb) of cocaine has brought back some painful memories. Blinking back the tears, the 48-year-old Northern Irish woman remembers her own arrest as she tried to board a plane out of Peru. She did not realise it at the time, she says, but she was acting as a drug mule. \"I came here to meet someone and he asked me to take some bags back for his brother,\" she recalls wearily, as though the memory itself is weighing her down. \"I looked at the bags he gave me and they were just normal handbags, children's schoolbags. I never saw anything inside.\" Stitched into the lining, however, was about 8kg (17lb) of cocaine. When Lillian reached the departure gate, the authorities stopped her in her tracks. 'You have drugs' \"They said: 'You have drugs'. I said 'No'. I went with them and they took my suitcases out. They put a cotton bud inside the bags, and took it out and said 'coca',\" she explains. For carrying the cocaine, Lillian was eventually sentenced to eight years in prison. She paid a lawyer to help her plead her innocence but his advice was simple: \"You have to say you're guilty to get a shorter sentence.\" Lillian tells me her story on a cold concrete bench in the women's wing of Ancon 2, a prison on the outskirts of Lima. A modern facility, it does not yet suffer from the endemic problems of other jails in Latin America, namely overcrowding and crumbling infrastructure. The majority of foreign women in prison in Peru used to be housed in Santa Monica jail in Chorrillos. It was notorious for its crowded and unsanitary conditions, and the prison authorities have started to move many of the detained foreigners to Ancon 2. There are currently 325 foreign inmates in the jail, more than 100 of them women, most of whom are there on drug charges. Ms Reid and Ms McCollum are likely to spend some time there, even if they are eventually cleared. The stories are frequent and familiar. Anna, not her real name, told me that a year ago, she came to Peru for eight days with her then-boyfriend. She says he planted drugs in their luggage as they travelled back to Spain and has since refused to support her claim that she knew nothing about the cocaine. It is a common theme - women trapped by unscrupulous men who make others take the risk, and the blame, for smuggling drugs. 'Constant fight' The prison library is staffed by two friendly European girls, no older than Ms Reid and Ms McCollum. They explained how the economic crisis at home had pushed a lot of women into running risks they might have otherwise avoided. \"Pay off all your debts at once,\" one of the girls, from Madrid, told me with an ironic grin. The debt she is paying now will run into years. She has formed a close bond with her Italian cellmate, but says every day in Ancon 2 is a struggle to stay sane. \"We were just saying to each other before you came in, this place is a constant fight to keep from going mad,\" she says. Drug smuggling can attract long sentences, and the frustratingly slow pace of the legal system is like an endurance test of their patience, they say. But they try to stay positive by listening to their music as they put the library books in order, and planning trips they hope to take together when they get out. When the talk turns to the two UK girls, they have both heard of their case. \"Even if they didn't do it, they may as well confess. It'll be easier in the long run,\" they explain. \"I hope they come here - we'll look after them.\" 'Little girl' Lillian Allen, though, is the inmate in the jail who perhaps most identifies with the two young women, particularly with her Northern Irish compatriot, Michaella McCollum. \"I always said I never wanted another girl to come in here from my country,\" she says, wiping a tear from her cheek. \"She's young, she's only a little girl. She could be my daughter, she's younger than my sons.\" Regardless of whether Michaella McCollum's claim to have been kidnapped and forced into carrying cocaine by gangsters is believed by the Peruvian authorities, it is likely to take a long time for her - and Melissa Reid - to extricate themselves from the country's tangled legal system. \"I will help them,\" says Lillian wrapping the white scarf she knitted in one of the prison workshops around herself a little more tightly as if for comfort. Barring an unprecedented dismissal of the charges against them, they are going to need it.",

When it was produced at the Comic-Con event, Berry was poured a large glass which she initially ignored. But when a fan asked her a difficult question, she chose to drink it. What was the tough question? She was asked whether her action spy film - which also stars Colin Firth and Taron Egerton - was more British than James Bond. When Berry said she'd rather drink the whiskey than answer, panel moderator Jonathan Ross led a chant encouraging her to \"chug\" it. \"Oh I can you know, would you like to see that?\" Berry replied and then downed the drink while grimacing and pretended to fall off her chair. \"Kingsman would like to remind you to drink responsibly,\" Ross said afterwards, adding: \"She's a professional, she can handle it.\" Here's how it happened in pictures. After the panel, Berry was asked if it was real bourbon she drank. \"Let that be a mystery to the world,\" she told Entertainment Tonight. \"Never dare a girl like me to do anything, because I just take the challenge.\" The sequel to Matthew Vaughn's 2014 film, about the recruitment of a young secret agent, was the first big film to kick off Comic-Con in the San Diego Convention Centre's famous Hall H. The film's other stars including Egerton, Firth, Channing Tatum, Jeff Bridges and Pedro Pascal were on hand to talk about the movie and give fans a sneak peek of new footage. As well as a longer trailer which was released just ahead of the panel, three clips were shown - the opening sequence, the introduction of Tatum as Statesman agent Tequila (the American equivalent to the Kingsmen), and the introduction of Julianne Moore as Poppy, the film's villain. The stars also revealed more about their characters, with Tatum saying he \"was begging\" to have a part in the sequel as he was a fan of the franchise. Berry said her character, Ginger Ale, was \"kind of the techy, brain, nerdy character\", while Firth kept tight-lipped about his role. Fans of Kingsmen will know the Oscar winner didn't make it to the end of the first film alive, although he appears in the sequel. \"It's all a mystery to me, really. I mean, I'm in the trailer!

            "input": "By Simon ArmstrongBBC News As jobs go, it is a tough one - photographing a band when only one member has made it to the shoot. Dispatched to Amsterdam to picture the then up-and-coming Oasis in 1994, Cummins was greeted by a lone Gallagher brother. Expecting to be told singer Liam, guitarist Bonehead and drummer Tony McCarroll were indulging in the Dutch city's famous party scene, songwriter Noel gave an altogether blunter response: \"They've been deported.\" \"They'd had a scrap on the ferry overnight,\" Cummins remembers. \"Noel had gone to bed, the rest of them had a fight with some football fans and were kept on the boat and sent back to England. \"So that was my introduction to them. I had to drag Noel out and photograph him by the poster for the gig they were supposed to be playing to prove I'd actually turned up and get paid for it. \"It never really changed. I once flew to LA to do a piece with them for [music magazine] NME when they were playing somewhere in Hollywood. Within 10 minutes they'd had two fights on stage then Liam claimed he'd lost his voice and that was the end of it. \"There was always a bit of tension [between Noel and Liam]. If you've got a brother you know what it can be like. You kind of know because of your own family not to get involved in other people's squabbles.\" Oasis would go on to become one of the biggest bands of the decade - figureheads of the resurgence of UK guitar groups with a catalogue of anthemic hits and record-breaking concerts. Their rise to stardom - and that of contemporaries Blur, Suede and Pulp - provided a soundtrack to a changing of the guard in the pop charts. Cummins, whose camera work had been gracing the covers and inside pages of the NME since the late 1970s, has chronicled the story in the newly released While We Were Getting High: Britpop and the 90s. Taking its title from a line in the Oasis track Champagne Supernova, it has seen him narrow down 25,000 frames on negatives and transparencies to a few hundred with an array of images that would no doubt have adorned the bedroom walls of many music-loving teenagers. A corduroy-clad Jarvis Cocker, cigarette-smoking Justine Frischmann and Damon Albarn sitting astride a Lambretta scooter are all featured. The book also includes contributions from the aforementioned Noel as well as Suede frontman Brett Anderson, Echobelly's Sonya Aurora Madan and Martin Rossiter of Gene. Reflecting on that time, a quarter of a century on, Gallagher tells Cummins his band were responsible for pushing indie into the mainstream and that he found the Britpop tag \"a bit demeaning\". \"Oasis weren't part of any scene,\" he says. \"Blur and Suede had their foot in the door long before what came to be known as Britpop was even a thing. \"We literally smashed it wide open. The NME had to invent a collective so every other [band] could ride on our coattails.\" Its beginnings were not immediately obvious though, says Cummins, who ironically relocated to London in 1987 just before all eyes turned to his home city as Happy Mondays and The Stone Roses led the \"Madchester\" craze. The 66-year-old says his Britpop pictures were aided by bands who \"understood the value of a good front cover\". \"The early gestation of a music scene is apparent when you look back, but at the time you're not sure where it's going. It was certainly a lot calmer photographing Lush and co after spending about two years on the road with the Mondays. \"With Oasis, I watched them try to kick lumps out of each other and then they'd get back into position and we'd do the photos so it was a bit unusual. \"Blur just enjoyed themselves. They'd always do what I needed them to do. \"Similarly with Suede, actually. I went to the [United] States with them a couple of times and they were prepared to do things to make a good photograph. They'd grown up looking at the NME and they wanted to work at it to make sure what they were giving you were really great pictures. \"On tour, if the mood isn't right I sit back and wait. I don't feel I've got to be taking pictures all the time and I don't think I've got to be telling them jokes. There's always a level of trust.\" Suede's debut album topped the charts in early 1993, but it would be the following year when the excitement and hype around Britpop began to soar with the arrival of Blur's Parklife and Oasis' debut album Definitely Maybe. When, in August 1995, the NME's front cover billed an upcoming singles battle between the latter two groups as a British Heavyweight Championship fight, the wider media immediately took notice. On BBC One's Six O'Clock News, presenter John Humphrys described it as the \"biggest chart war in 30 years\", adding \"the music industry hasn't seen anything like it since The Beatles fought it out with The Rolling Stones in the 60s\". As interest peaked over the next 12 months following the release of (What's the Story) Morning Glory?, Oasis found themselves playing Wonderwall and Don't Look Back in Anger to a quarter of a million adoring fans across two nights at Knebworth in Hertfordshire. Tabloids and \"lads' mags\" such as Loaded and FHM, which focused on booze and \"birds\", had also latched on to the phenomenon with many in the media and even the government talking up \"Cool Britannia\" and the rebirth of British pop culture. The union flag became a celebratory backdrop on magazine covers. So wide was Britpop's cultural impact, Prime Minister Tony Blair invited Noel Gallagher to Downing Street as part of a celebration of creative industries shortly after taking up residence in Downing Street in 1997. Those associations were problematic for some musicians, though, as Anderson tells Cummins in the book. \"My view of the era is complex,\" the singer says. \"When we started writing those songs in 1991 it felt thrilling and against the grain but [it] soon became a jingoistic, beery cartoon when the money moved in. \"I think it's aged terribly. The faint whiff of nationalism and misogyny, the Men Behaving Badly and Loaded culture is so at odds with modern concepts it feels clumsy and almost anachronistic now. \"It was an indication of the blithe optimism of Cool Britannia that people managed to get away with waving flags. In today's political climate exactly the same act would be seen as deeply troubling.\" While liking much of the music, Cummins admits he shares similar concerns. \"I didn't really like the way Loaded magazine got hold of Britpop or the whole 'lad and ladette' movement. A lot of that was quite unedifying. \"If you went to an Oasis or Blur gig, initially it would be quite mixed and then it just becomes blokes chucking pints of piss around. \"Britpop was long dead when Tony Blair invited them all to Downing Street. That was the kiss of death. The whole point of youth movements is that they're anti-establishment.\" All images subject to copyright",

Professional sport is allowed to resume behind closed doors and dentists can see patients who need urgent care. And more shops have reopened in Scotland, including Ikea. On Monday morning hundreds of shoppers queued in the rain outside the Braehead store. They waited in a socially-distanced queue which stretched around the car park. It was the first time face coverings were mandatory for commuters on public transport. Almost everyone on buses, trains, the Glasgow Subway and Edinburgh trams, planes, taxis and private hire cabs, as well as enclosed areas on ferries, is expected to wear one now. There are a few exceptions, including those with certain medical conditions and small children. On one bus service in Aberdeen, BBC reporter Davy Shanks said after about three stops there was a shortage of socially distant seats and passengers started sitting in any available space. He said not all passengers were wearing a mask. On Monday, places of worship were also allowed to reopen. Communal worship services are still not allowed, but worshippers are allowed to visit for private prayer as long as they stick to social distancing rules. In Edinburgh, St Cuthbert's Church reopened to allow two hours of private prayer on certain days. Three people can be accommodated at a time in its memorial chapel. Professional sport is also allowed to resume now. Horse racing returned to Scotland for the first time since lockdown with a meeting at Ayr. The sport has been suspended in Scotland since 17 March but restarted in England on 1 June. Dentists were also allowed to reopen to patients with \"urgent\" care needs - but practices cannot carry out certain procedures which generate aerosols, including drilling.

But people who have been invited to the UK as an \"expert\" in their profession can get a Permitted Paid Engagement visa, at a cost of £93. According to the government, this allows the applicant to take part in \"arts, entertainment or sporting activities including broadcasting\", along with various other professional activities. The visa does not permit the holder to carry out paid work that is unrelated to his or her main job, or for the applicant to live or study in the UK for extended periods. Mr Smith said: \"The saddest thing is always the number of artists struggling to get visas to come and perform. \"What we're seeing this year is unexpected and even more depressing, which is artists saying we're just not going to tackle the immigration system, saying it's too difficult and too expensive, and it's humiliating. \"Artists have accepted our invitation and then looked into the visa process and told us, sorry we're just not going to do this. \"That's a situation we should be ashamed of.\" Festival organisers have been travelling to Europe to meet artists before trying to help them into Britain, Mr Smith revealed. He said the Brexit vote and the \"unforgivable\" conduct of politicians had changed the perception of the UK in the international community. The Home Office has been contacted for a comment.

Mr Bourgi made similar allegations against the far-right politician Jean-Marie Le Pen, AFP reports. The ex-leaders vowed to sue Mr Bourgi. Mr Chirac and Mr de Villepin deny the claims, which come seven months before presidential polls. Mr Le Pen said the allegations against him were \"false... ridiculous\". Mr de Villepin is seen as a major centre-right rival to President Nicolas Sarkozy. Mr Chirac is currently on trial in absentia on charges of illegal party funding. A medical report says he is too unwell to attend and suffers memory lapses. 'Clean France' In an interview for the Journal de Dimanche newspaper on Sunday, Mr Bourgi alleged that he had been involved in handing over several suitcases to Mr Chirac during his tenure as mayor of Paris in the 1980s and 1990s. He claimed that the suitcases always contained at least 5m francs ($1m; £630,000) and sometimes as much as 15m. The first handover of money in Mr de Villepin's presence occurred in 1995, he said, involving 10m francs from the then Zairean President Mobutu Sese Seko. Mr Bourgi alleged that money from the leaders of several former African colonies was then passed to Mr Chirac and Mr de Villepin over the next 10 years. Speaking on Europe 1 radio, he estimated the total amount to be about $20m. But he added there was \"no proof, no trace\" of the alleged secret payments. In an interview with French television on Monday, he also alleged that the former head of the far-right National Front party, Jean-Marie Le Pen, funded part of his 1988 presidential campaign with money from Gabon's late ex-president Omar Bongo, AFP reports. Mr Le Pen told BFM television: \"If this Mr Bourgi was charged with giving me these funds, he must have kept them for himself.\" Mr Bourgi claimed that Senegalese President Abdoulaye Wade, Burkina Faso's Blaise Compaore, former Ivory Coast President Laurent Gbagbo, Republic of Congo President Denis Sassou Nguesso and Bongo all visited Mr de Villepin in his office, handing over $10m for the 2002 election campaign. Bernard Houdin, an adviser to former Ivory Coast president Laurent Gbagbo, said that such payments were \"a historical practice\" and that \"the sums mentioned are no doubt below reality\". However, Sengalese and Burkinabe officials denied the claims. 'Thick skin' Asked what African leaders got in exchange for the money, Mr Bourgi said: \"Lies, lies, lies, unkept promises, meaning that France would close its eyes to certain abuses of power in Africa.\" \"I acted in my own name, no-one dictated me this interview,\" Mr Bourgi said, adding that he wanted a \"clean France\". He added the claim that the same system of secret payments existed under former presidents Georges Pompidou, Valery Giscard d'Estaing and Francois Mitterand. Mr Chirac's lawyer, Jean Veil, said on Sunday that he had been instructed to file a defamation complaint against Mr Bourgi, and Mr de Villepin told French TV he would do the same. \"They are trying to stop me from running [for president], they have been putting spokes in the wheels for years, but I have thick skin,\" he said. Judges are expected to rule this week on the so-called Clearstream affair, in which Mr de Villepin is charged with plotting to discredit Mr Sarkozy by failing to stop a corruption inquiry in 2004. The former prime minister was cleared of all charges in a trial that ended last year, but the state prosecutor appealed against the verdict. Mr Bourgi is widely seen as being close to Mr Sarkozy, but he said he was not an unofficial or official adviser, although he was sometimes consulted by the president.",

            "input": "By Steven McIntoshEntertainment reporter Mariah Carey on the radio. The Queen's speech on the TV. A chocolate orange in your stocking. And, like clockwork, a Strictly contestant being accused of having too much dance experience. But this year, the celebrity in the firing line arguably has a more notable dance background than any before her. Singer Ashley Roberts is paired with Strictly pro Pasha Kovalev, but many viewers say she might as well be one of the show's professionals herself. \"There were a lot of raised eyebrows when Ashley was announced as part of this year's line-up,\" TV critic Emma Bullimore tells BBC News. \"Unlike most contestants with dance experience, Ashley actually worked as a judge on another dance programme, and her role in the Pussycat Dolls was to dance more than it was to sing.\" It's true that the 37-year-old has previously been a judge on ITV's Dancing On Ice. It's true that The Pussycat Dolls were used to performing complex dance routines while Nicole Scherzinger took care of the lead vocals. But, some have argued, it doesn't necessarily follow that she would have an advantage on Strictly. \"I'm sure Ashley's never done the Viennese waltz in her career with The Pussycat Dolls,\" said host Tess Daly last week, an argument anyone who's seen the video for Buttons could confirm. \"I think cut her a little slack... she hasn't necessarily danced in ballroom before.\" Speaking to BBC News in September, Ashley herself argued Latin and ballroom was \"just so foreign to what my body has done\". But, she acknowledged: \"I do have rhythm so it might be a little bit easier for me to possibly pick up a step, but it is still a new skill that I don't know that I am going to have to learn.\" Nonetheless, Ashley and Pasha's quickstep last weekend saw her end up in the bottom two (again) despite receiving high scores from the judges (again). It was the second time in as many weeks the star had found herself in the dance-off. Given the algorithm Strictly uses to calculate the bottom two, with judges' scores balanced against the public, it's fair to assume Ashley is receiving very few viewer votes indeed. \"It's perhaps a sign that the public feel that she may be too good and has slightly lost interest in her,\" suggested Ben Dowell in The Radio Times. \"It's important to have good dancers in the early stages of each series so there's something nice to watch while everyone's finding their dancing feet. But I would be quite pleased if she didn't win.\" Viewers seem to agree. Throughout the series, complaints and jokes about Ashley's involvement have become commonplace on social media. There's little doubt that, if Strictly was judged solely on dancing, Ashley would be very likely to win this year. \"She's one of the best dancers I think we've ever seen on the show,\" admitted judge Craig Revel Horwood last month, a point which could be made on either side of the argument. Ashley was the first contestant to get a perfect score of 40, during the Blackpool special, with a jive that Bruno Tonioli said would go down in the show's history. But Strictly has never really been about that. Far more important is the \"journey\". Take a look at some of the show's previous winners, like Ore Oduba, Joe McFadden, Abbey Clancey or Louis Smith. They are celebrities from a wide range of backgrounds who had a much lower skill level on which to improve when their respective series started. Viewers, therefore, felt they had grown with the contestants. Seen them work hard at a new discipline, and improve dramatically. One contestant who has made it to the final five this year, Paralympian Lauren Steadman, is perhaps one of 2018's most improved celebrities. \"People want to see someone who's not brilliant to start with, and then has a bit of a breakthrough moment and gets better and better,\" says Bullimore. \"Lauren is inspiring a lot of people with disabilities, and without disabilities, and you forget AJ has had to adapt the choreography, because he's used to having someone with two arms. \"So it's pretty amazing to watch, and what they've achieved is incredible.\" Ashley isn't the first contestant to find herself the subject of the \"professional\" criticism. Denise Van Outen and Alexandra Burke have faced similar accusations in the past on account of their West End experience, while another of this year's contestants, Danny John Jules, has been dancing professionally since the 1990s. \"You'd be very, very hard pushed to find anybody who has no dance experience [to take part in Strictly],\" pointed out Steps singer Claire Richards when she defended the casting of her bandmate Faye Tozer in this year's series. Bullimore says she's \"sympathetic\" to viewers who object to Ashley's casting, but adds: \"I don't get too het up about it because nobody with previous dance experience ever goes on to win. \"I don't think there are that many people who are furious that Ashley was booked for the show. But do I think there are a lot of people who don't want her to win? Yes.\" Aside from dance experience, another reason Ashley would be unlikely to lift the glitterball trophy is that Strictly has never been won by a non-British contestant. But, like Alexandra before her, she's made it this far thanks to the judges repeatedly saving her in the dance-off - as they are obliged to vote for the stronger dance on a technical level. \"You have to watch each dance and comment on what you see, I can't have a personal vendetta against somebody,\" Bruno told Steve Wright on Thursday. \"Most people in the entertainment industry have had some sort of training, we've had it before, we can only guide the audience and then it's up to them.\" Whether Ashley makes it through this weekend or not, there's no doubt next week's final is going to be close. As this year's series reaches its climax, there's only one thing we can be truly certain of - having this debate all over again about a different celebrity next year.

We did not get any closer than six feet for the mile-long walk. The distance between me and my friends and me and my boyfriend right now has definitely been really tough. My boyfriend and I have actually been in a long-distance relationship for almost four years now, we go to school three hours apart. And now that I'm home in Cincinnati where he goes to school, we're kind of in this weird close-distance relationship where we see each other more often, but it's outside and it's from a distance. And so I think it's been really difficult not knowing when we're actually going to be able to hang out together again. Watch Maddie's video diary We asked three young Americans to chronicle their very different experiences of the pandemic. We'll also hear from Miguel, 21, who lives in San Francisco, and Ana, an 18-year-old high school student from the Bronx in New York. 29 March: We have new rules in our house because of quarantine. As soon as I get home from work I wash my clothes and I take a shower and hand sanitise profusely, always. I've been freelancing for PBS, and I'm covering a story that looks at how lower-income families are being affected by the coronavirus. I've been going to a homeless shelter and have been interacting with families - I have been doing everything I can to be as safe as possible. I'm also still at school at Ohio University attending online classes. 30 March: My sister and I drove to Mt Adams today since it was in the 60s (around 15C) - it's a neighbourhood in Cincinnati with one of the best views of downtown, so we sat with the windows down to enjoy the view. With regards to coronavirus in Cincinnati, a lot has happened recently, too. Just today, a bunch of employees tested positive for coronavirus at the Cincinnati Children's Hospital, which is I guess not shocking, but still really scary. So it's just getting closer and closer to home. We have more cases here everyday, obviously, and more people dying as well. So I've been pretty much staying at home, spending a lot of time with my sister. 8 April: Sabina and her friend Avery, who is also a senior, return to their high school, Walnut Hills, to do a social distancing workout around the track. My sister is having a hard time missing out on the milestones of her final year of high school, and trying to stay motivated with all classes moved online. \"Sometimes it's hard to not feel so isolated,\" she says. I'm feeling a lot more comfortable this week being quarantined. Not as overwhelmed and exhausted as I've felt in the past. But it is obviously really scary to see how many people are getting it around the US, because it is a lot different state by state and city by city. 11 April: We ate pizza and salad for dinner before having a movie night. My sister and my dad set up the screen for the projector before our social distancing movie night with our neighbours. We watched Monsters, Inc. since we have four young neighbours. 13 April: My dad is a professional musician, he writes and plays guitar for people and he also teaches at the University of Cincinnati sometimes. Right now obviously all that is online. He also has a recording studio across from our house where he works, and he is still writing music. 14 April: My mom is an outreach coordinator at a local high school in Cincinnati and her job is to coordinate volunteer opportunities with her students. She's been working on sewing masks using old curtains, clothes and rags. She plans to send the masks to family and friends. A teacher at my mom's school died suddenly last week. The teacher's death was unrelated to the coronavirus and came as a huge shock to my mom's school community. Since the teacher's family couldn't hold a funeral because of the pandemic, over 100 people showed up in cars to drive by her house to show their love and support. My mom made a special poster for the family and put it in her car window. Her sign said 'Praying for you, our hearts are with you'. It was just really cool to see how the community came together. My perception of family has definitely changed since all this started too because I think I've become more attentive to how much I value my relationship with my sister. We've been doing so much together like running, cooking, dancing, so many things. You know we still annoy each other but yeah it's been nice spending a lot more time with her. I think my family dynamics have changed too, everyone's has. I think probably subconsciously we've been really good at giving each other space during the day, to just have our own time to work or to spend time alone. And then at the end of the day we all get together and we eat dinner, sometimes we play a game, hang out with our neighbours from afar or just watch a movie. It's been incredible to see how kind people have been to each other, and how inventive people have been, too. I've loved seeing how musicians have walked down the street playing songs for everyone, or people have projected movies onto the side of apartment buildings so an entire apartment can watch a movie together from afar. My little neighbour (who lives on the left side of the building) named Matilda turned five years old and had an ocean-themed birthday with her family. So my boyfriend, who owns a balloon company, brought over ocean-coloured balloons for her. I think people are really coming together in a way they haven't in a while, and that's been really cool to see. Produced by Hannah Long-Higgins and Robin Levinson-King .",

The inquiry was set up to examine the extent of child abuse in the Catholic church and state-run institutions in Northern Ireland. It is due to report to the Northern Ireland Executive in 2016. Documents examined by the inquiry revealed that, between 1947 and 1956, 110 children were sent from institutions in Northern Ireland to institutions in Australia (primarily Western Australia), as part of a UK government policy of child migration. An inquiry spokesperson said: \"The inquiry is very conscious of the need to make the whole process as accessible as possible to potential witnesses, wherever they may reside. \"It is for this reason that it has decided to send a team to Australia to meet the large number of applicants there. \"This will reduce the need for applicants to travel to Northern Ireland, and will help to ensure that as many potential witnesses as possible can speak in person to the inquiry.\" Campaign Most of the applications to speak to the inquiry have come from people in Northern Ireland. The inquiry has also received 47 applications from Great Britain, 17 from the Irish Republic and five from other countries. In February, the inquiry launched a promotional poster and leaflet campaign in an attempt to get more victims to come forward. Prior to the campaign, 175 formal applications had been received, of which just 1% came from outside Northern Ireland, Great Britain and the Irish Republic. So far, the inquiry's acknowledgement forum has met with 173 applicants, and its legal team has interviewed 60 potential witnesses to help prepare witness statements. The Historical Institutional Abuse Inquiry was established following the damning Ryan Report in the Irish Republic that uncovered decades of endemic abuse in some religious institutions. The inquiry, which is chaired by retired judge Sir Anthony Hart, is due to hold its third public hearing at the Ramada Encore in Belfast on 4 September. Sir Anthony will provide a report on the work of the inquiry to date. Potential witnesses are still able to submit formal applications to the inquiry, if they have not already done so, at the inquiry's website.",

The cuts are on top of the 2,500 redundancies across the Canadian firm's global operations announced last week. Bombardier employs about 3,600 people across several factories in greater Belfast. It is understood that 400 staff and 200 agency staff will lose their jobs. \"We deeply regret the impact this will have on our workforce and their families, but it is crucial that we resize our business in line with market realities in these unprecedented circumstances,\" Bombardier said. Economy Minister Diane Dodds said she would work with those who \"have received devastating news and those who will potentially be impacted\". She said she understood \"the significant distress today's announcement will cause\". \"I understand the 90-day redundancy will go into action today and as this progresses of course my department will organise help to those who are impacted both in terms of any other employment opportunities or retraining and up-skilling,\" she added. Analysis: Aerospace challenges ripple into NI By John Campbell, BBC News NI economics and business editor The global aerospace sector is reeling from the impact of coronavirus. Airlines are in a scramble to conserve cash and even those who survive will not be in a position to invest in new fleets. Major aerospace suppliers like Rolls Royce have already announced thousands of jobs losses, so it was inevitable that would ripple into Northern Ireland. The local aerospace sector has been a success story in recent years, supporting thousands of well-paid jobs. Now it's facing its biggest challenge since 2001. Having reviewed its operations in Belfast, Bombardier said it had to adjust the workforce \"to align with market demand for the remainder of this year and through 2021\". Bombardier's Northern Ireland operations are currently in the process of being sold to the US firm Spirit AeroSystems. Wound down Bombardier's Belfast operations were wound down at the peak of the pandemic, with about half of staff believed to be back at the factory. The company said it expected business jet deliveries to be down 30% industry-wide. Last May, the company said it was putting its Northern Ireland operation up for sale as part of a reorganisation of the business. Susan Fitzgerald, from the union Unite, said the cuts were a huge blow \"to Bombardier's workforce, their families and the economy of Northern Ireland as a whole\". She called for urgent action from the Northern Ireland Executive. Paul Everitt, chief executive of the ADS aerospace industry group, said: \"Businesses in the whole of the UK aerospace industry are now facing difficult decisions affecting their workforces. \"This is an unsettling time for workers and their families.\" This is the second big round of redundancies in the Northern Ireland aerospace sector in a matter of days. Last week Thompson Aero Seating in Portadown said it was cutting as many as 500 jobs.",

Within days, his condition worsened. Mr Maurya took his father, who is in his mid-50s, to three medical facilities in the Banke district but all refused him admission due to a shortage of beds and oxygen. By the time he managed to find a bed, it was too late. \"We are devastated, he was the main breadwinner of the family,\" Mr Maurya told the BBC. \"Now I have to take care of my own family and three younger brothers. My mother has been crying inconsolably.\" Thousands of people like Mr Maurya have lost their loved ones in Nepal, a nation now reeling from a second wave of the virus. \"If we don't manage this right now, the situation will become catastrophic,\" said Dr Samir Kumar Adhikari, the chief of the government's Health Emergency Operation Centre. \"In Kathmandu valley, almost all of the intensive care beds and ventilators are full,\" he said. \"Even in hospitals where beds are available, they cannot admit patients due to a lack of oxygen. We have also run out of vaccines.\" Nepal, a Himalayan nation of about 30 million people, is one of the least developed countries in the world. Landlocked and sandwiched between China in the north and India in the south, it depends on India for most of its supplies, especially medical equipment and liquid oxygen. With India stopping exports of oxygen due to the worsening situation there, Kathmandu is now struggling to find alternative supplies. Like many other Asian nations, Nepal somehow managed to escape the first wave without any serious damage. But the second wave has been devastating. Daily infections hovered at around 150 at the beginning of April but in a month the figure has passed 9,000. More than 4,000 people have died. Nepali health officials say the current daily positivity rate is nearly 50%, meaning that one in two people are testing positive for Covid. An estimated 80,000 people are in home isolation, and officials are warning of many more deaths in the coming weeks. \"We rank Nepal 9th among the 10 top countries in terms of daily increase in Covid-19 cases. Of all those countries, Nepal has the smallest population but it has the highest case positivity rate,\" Sara Beysolow Nyanti, the UN resident co-ordinator in Nepal told the BBC. As in neighbouring India, normal life had begun to resume a few months ago when daily cases fell below 100. The country was in a hurry to get back to normality in order to recover from the economic impact of the lockdowns. Masks, sanitation and social distancing were ignored. At the same time, Nepal was hit by a political crisis. Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli, facing rebellion in his own party, dissolved parliament last December and called for a snap election. But the Supreme Court reinstated parliament in February this year. Mr Oli was also facing criticism from the opposition and civil society over the government's handling of the coronavirus. There have been pro- and anti-Oli protests in Kathmandu and other parts of the country. On Monday, Mr Oli lost the vote of confidence in parliament. It's not clear who will form the next government, with no party having a clear majority. Experts blame the political wrangling and infighting for the sharp turn for the worse in the pandemic. \"The politicians were busy trying to hold on to power, their attention was not on the health of the people but on retaining power,\" said Dr Rajan Pandey, chief consultant physician at Bheri hospital, in Nepalgunj city. Nepalgunj, near the border with India, is one of the worst affected regions in Nepal. Every day, hundreds of migrant workers from India are returning through the land border amid fears that some of them may be carrying the virus. Fearing quarantine, many enter the country illegally and go to their villages. There are reports of some of the returnees falling sick. But migrant labourers alone should not be blamed for the second wave, said Dr Pandey. \"Two months ago, the government and the opposition held huge rallies all over the country. People celebrated religious festivals and organised marriage ceremonies - all contributing to this second wave,\" he said. The situation has been exacerbated by the fact that Nepal has now suspended its vaccination programme after it ran out of doses. Initially, India donated about a million doses of AstraZeneca vaccine, and Nepal secured doses from the global vaccine sharing programme Covax and from China. Officials in Nepal say altogether 2.1 million people have had the vaccine and out of that number 400,000 have received both doses. But with Delhi abruptly suspending the export of vaccines, Nepal is in limbo, alongside Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, increasingly looking to China and Russia to meet their demands. \"Nepal has not been able to secure vaccines for even 20% of those who need to be vaccinated. So, Nepal should be prioritised at the top,\" the UN official Ms Nyanti said. \"I appeal to the countries which can spare vaccine to send them to Nepal immediately.\" You may also be interested in",

Thompson and Gleeson play Otto and Elise Hampel, a working class couple from Berlin, who were guillotined by the Nazis in 1943 for leaving hand-written postcards around the city encouraging resistance against Hitler. In the novel, author Hans Fallada calls them Otto and Anna Quangel, and it's the death of their son that motivates them to rebellion, but Thompson notes, \"the story is based in fact\". \"They were just ordinary people, there was nothing remarkable about them and their lives apart from the turbulent times they lived in. But they refused to go along with the policy of hatred and that in itself is no small thing. \"They wrote nearly 300 postcards, with the same kinds of messages of resistance towards the Nazis and, such was the climate of fear at the time, nearly all were turned in to the Gestapo. Yet, even though in the film we see them mocked for losing their lives for such a small act of defiance, 70 years later we're still talking about this couple. So they did win.\" Thompson, who won an Oscar for her role in Howard's End in 1992, and another in 1995 for writing a film adaptation of Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility, jokes that in the character of Anna, \"yet again I'm playing another good woman in a frock,\" but adds that she believes \"this film is important for Europe at the moment because it's about being brave and saying things that aren't popular. \"I've always been one for saying things that aren't common opinion in society - that protest is an important part of life. Riots are important too, I believe. This story has particular meaning because it reinforces the idea that you need to be courageous if you want to speak up. You will be pilloried. You have to be brave to raise your head above the parapet, particularly now, if you disagree with a certain popular viewpoint. \"Yet this couple find their real humanity in standing up against something inhuman, so much so that they are happy to pay the cost, to lose their lives. It was a beautiful thing to play.\" Thompson adds that it was the recent death from cancer of her close friend, actor Alan Rickman, which reminded her it was possible \"to die well\". Saying that she has spent time \"with many people who have been dying, including Alan\", Thompson adds she has come to the conclusion that \"it's possible to die beautifully, as my friend Alan did. It inspired me so much. And these two people in this film die with so much integrity. \"Why don't we want to think about dying at all, never mind the manner in which we will do it? It's going to happen to all of us so I don't understand why we are so blind and deaf to it.\" The film itself has received mixed reviews from the international press, the Guardian lamenting that though Thompson and Gleeson \"give of their best in their respective roles, neither get to display the live-wire intelligence that, in different ways, is a trademark of both\". It's also received some criticism for being made in English, when it was filmed entirely in Berlin. However, Thompson credits the film with helping \"change my viewpoint about the Second World War, which I had researched for other roles in the past, but always from a British point of view. It didn't occur to me for a long time that many Germans felt the Nazis had invaded them too and were suffering just as much. \"What I have realised is that like in any period of history, including now, in many parts of the world, if you set the population of a country or a city to spy and inform on one another, you create a living hell. Without freedom of speech there is no freedom at all, and this couple, by exercising that right under the Nazis, managed to come alive - even in the face of death.\" Alone in Berlin is yet to receive a UK release date.",

Ideal replacement The 11 monks say they are being forced to leave St Augustine's, which was designed by Edward Pugin for around 40 people, because there are not enough of them left to bear the cost of its upkeep. The monks help fund monastery running costs by selling products such as honey, beeswax furniture polish, organic lip-balms and skin creams. They also have a small market garden. The monks voted to leave in October last year, and within four months had found an ideal replacement. The friars had had to make their own difficult decision to leave their Chilworth home for similar reasons, and thanks to the reach of the worldwide web, they were able to find suitable successors for their Victorian home. Father Michael Copps, Minister Provincial of the Friars Minor, said: \"One of the most difficult things I have had to do as Provincial was to come to the decision that we could no longer sustain our house at Chilworth. \"I had been thinking with horror that it might become a hotel or health spa, until I was shown the information on the internet that the Ramsgate Benedictines had decided that they had to leave Ramsgate and look for a smaller monastery. \"Reading their 'wish list' for the place they were looking for, I saw that Chilworth ticked nearly all the boxes.\" Dom Paulinus Greenwood, Abbot of Ramsgate, said: \"We have been extremely fortunate in finding a suitable new home within such a relatively short period of time, and will always be grateful to the Franciscans for alerting us to the availability of their Friary.\" The first Benedictine Monks arrived in Ramsgate from the Italian monastery of Subiaco in 1856.

            "input": "Brian TaylorPolitical editor, Scotland Today at Holyrood there were repeated attempts to compare the controversy over the bedroom tax with the current arguments over efforts by the Chancellor to curb tax credits for working families. In a debate, the social justice secretary Alex Neil said that the withdrawal of assistance for the low paid resembled the bedroom tax in that it was an example of inimical Conservative behaviour with a serious impact on the less-privileged. Yes to that, said Labour. But they added a comparator of their own. They said that the Scottish government's response to the tax credit moves reminded them of the debate over the bedroom tax when, according to Labour's Jackie Baillie, the SNP had \"to be dragged kicking and screaming\" to act. Certainly, one recalls that John Swinney initially cast doubt on the capacity of Holyrood to act in full over the bedroom tax. And he suggested at one point that he did not want to let Westminster off the hook by capitulating too swiftly and moving into a mitigation phase. Similarly, this afternoon, Mr Neil said it was too early to abandon the fight for the full devolution of welfare powers which would, he argued, forestall the problem of tax credits entirely. He delivered that case with his customary aplomb. (Ms Baillie had suggested in advance that it would be a \"pantomime dame\" performance from the minister. Which is just unkind. Although funny. Even Mr Neil laughed. A little.) But he was perhaps a little less sure-footed when dealing with the scope of Holyrood's powers. His debate amendment continued the line that there was a gap, that the Scottish Parliament lacked the full ability to act, even with the new powers. However, he then noted that new amendments to the Scotland Bill had just been tabled at Westminster. Challenged by Murdo Fraser for the Tories, he suggested that they did, finally, give Scotland the clout over welfare which had been required. Cue Labour points of order demanding that he withdraw his debate amendment. Mr Fraser meanwhile reminded us of the Conservative argument that the scope of tax credits had become far too broad - and that welfare provision required reform. Such was the political debate. What though will happen to the families in need? Mr Neil said that an assistance package there would be. From the Scottish government. But only once the chancellor had produced his amended plans - delayed by the Lords - and Scottish ministers had a chance to respond, in detail and in a planned fashion. He said that Labour's package was flawed and incomplete. In the Commons, the Scottish Secretary David Mundell indicated that he disagreed with Labour's line on tax credits - but he agreed with their right to say it. (As Voltaire nearly said.) Further, he agreed that Holyrood had the power. Only, he didn't quite say that. It had been widely anticipated - not least by Labour - that he would. The feed line was delivered deftly by Labour's front bench in the Commons. But Mr Mundell didn't quite, in terms, state in the Commons that Holyrood now had the clout. Instead, he praised Kezia Dugdale for having the guts to act by contrast with what he plainly believed was pusillanimity on the part of the SNP. It was left to a subsequent statement from the Scotland Office to make it \"crystal clear\" that Holyrood can now act. However, there is another element to this which probably explains the caution inside the Scottish government. For, caution there evidently is. That element is the fiscal framework which accompanies the transfer of new powers. It is still being negotiated - with hard, if courteous, bargaining on either side. Indeed, Mr Mundell was repeatedly questioned in the Commons by Angus Robertson and others with regard to the timetable. The thought of autumn publication has vanished like the leaves off deciduous trees. As this site noted previously, we are looking more probably at early next year. John Swinney does not want to make commitments - especially costly commitments - before he knows the full story. Before he knows the full powers, before he knows the full extent of the cuts to tax credits, before he knows the scope of the concomitant fiscal framework. Which left the Scottish government sounding just a mite discomfited at various points today and since Labour announced its policy on Saturday. But there will be more to come, there will be other days. So is this story done and dusted? Oh, yes it is? Oh, no, it isn't. Just listen to Alex Neil.",

The general has been accused of being the main architect of what became known as Argentina's \"Dirty War\". Up to 30,000 people were tortured and murdered under military rule. 'Criminally responsible' The judges ruled that Gen Videla would have to serve his life sentence in a civilian prison. He was already serving a life sentence for abuses committed during military rule, but had enjoyed special privileges after he was first sentenced in 1985. The judges said Gen Videla was \"criminally responsible\" for the torture and deaths of 31 prisoners in Cordoba. Most of the left-wing activists were taken from their cells in the central city of Cordoba and shot dead shortly after the military took power. The army said at the time that they were killed while trying to escape. Gen Videla was one of 30 members of the security forces charged with the murders. Gen Luciano Benjamin Menendez, who the judges said played a crucial part in the \"Dirty War\" against leftist activists, was also sentenced to life in prison. The court said Gen Videla would be transferred to a civilian prison \"immediately\", while Gen Menendez would undergo medical tests to determine if he was fit to be transferred to a local prison. Pardon revoked During the trial, Gen Videla took responsibility for the army's actions during his rule. He said that the country's troops were following his orders during what he described as an \"internal war\".

The London-based team said following a healthy diet - and not eating for two - prevents excess weight gain and cuts the risk of complications. But current guidelines do not advocate dieting or weight monitoring. The advice from the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE), published in 2010, says: \"Dieting during pregnancy is not recommended as it may harm the health of the unborn child.\" However women are advised to aim to reach a healthy weight before conceiving. Babies' weights 'unaffected' Half the UK population are either overweight or obese and the rates are rising. And in Europe and the US, between 20% and 40% of women gain more than the recommended weight during pregnancy. High weights are linked to complications such as pre-eclampsia, diabetes and high blood pressure as well as early delivery. This review, funded by the National Institute of Health Research (NIHR), compared diet, exercise or a combination of the two. Dietary advice was based on limiting calorie intake, having a balanced diet and eating foods such as whole grains, fruits, vegetables and pulses. The researchers then examined how much weight women gained during their pregnancies and if there were complications. While each approach reduced a woman's weight gain, diet had the greatest effect with an average reduction of nearly 4kg (8.8lbs). With exercise, the average reduction in weight gain was just 0.7kg (1.5lbs). A combination of diet and exercise led to an average reduction of 1kg (2.2lbs). Women following a calorie-controlled diet were significantly less likely to develop each of the complications considered, but the researchers say those findings need to be repeated in larger studies. Babies' birth weights were not affected by dieting. 'Simpler and easier' Dr Shakila Thangaratinam, a consultant obstetrician at Queen Mary, University of London who led the study, said: \"We are seeing more and more women who gain excess weight when they are pregnant and we know these women and their babies are at increased risk of complications. \"Weight control is difficult but this study shows that by carefully advising women on weight management methods, especially diet, we can reduce weight gain during pregnancy. \"It also shows that following a controlled diet has the potential to reduce the risk of a number of pregnancy complications.\" She added: \"Women may be concerned that dieting during pregnancy could have a negative impact on their babies. This research is reassuring because it showed that dieting is safe and that the baby's weight isn't affected.\" But in a commentary in the journal, women's health experts from St Thomas' Hospital in London - including Lucilla Poston who helped develop the NICE guidance, said it would be \"premature\" for the current guidance, which only recommends women be weighed at their first pregnancy check-up, to change. Dr Janine Stockdale, research fellow at the Royal College of Midwives, said: \"We should be careful to note that the researchers are not advising women to lose weight during pregnancy; this is about managing excessive weight or weight gain. \"If a woman is on target to gain the right amount of weight during her pregnancy, then 'dieting' and 'calorie-controlled dieting' as we commonly understand these terms, is not for her. \"We need to reassure women that under the care of a midwife or other health professional, weight management is safe.\"",

Mr Hammond said British tourists could face delays of \"two or three days\" to get back to the UK. All 224 people on the board the Russian Metrojet flight from Sharm el-Sheikh to St Petersburg died when it came down in Sinai on 31 October. Most of the victims were Russian. The US and the UK have both said intelligence points to the strong possibility the crash was caused by a bomb - militants affiliated to so-called Islamic State, also known as Isil, have claimed responsibility. Security experts Mr Hammond was asked about the implications for airport security in the Middle East, North Africa and Turkey on The Andrew Marr Show. He said: \"If this turns out to be a device planted by an Isil operative, or by somebody inspired by Isil, then clearly we will have to look again at the level of security we expect to see in airports in areas where Isil is active. \"What we have to do is ensure that airport security everywhere is at its best and that it reflects local conditions. One of the key issues about keeping airports safe is the training, management and motivation of staff.\" \"That may mean additional costs, it may mean additional delays at airports as people check in.\" Latest returning passengers' stories Could IS have bombed Flight 9268? In search for answers, British ties to Egypt take a hit Russia says 11,000 tourists brought back from Egypt Analysis By Andy Moore, BBC News In theory, airport security around the world is supposed to be regulated according to agreed standards by the International Civil Aviation Organization. In practice, many airports such as Sharm el-Sheik fall short. The Israeli airline El Al has always imposed its own security-vetting procedures at overseas airports, over and above whatever is done locally. Passengers are asked to check in at least three hours before any flight. El Al is the only commercial airline to fit its planes with missile defence systems. The UK is moving towards a similar system by sending its own security experts to Sharm el-Sheik airport. If security is to be beefed up in any country where so-called Islamic State operates - that will be a tall order. It will be expensive for airlines and time-consuming for passengers - but it may well be necessary. How has airport security changed? Mr Hammond said reports that a British passenger plane had to take evasive action over Sharm el-Sheikh earlier this year to avoid a missile were a \"red herring\". He said: \"There was an Egyptian military exercise going on on the ground and I was satisfied at the end of that investigation that that was not an attempt on the plane. The plane was not in danger at any time.\" Global security expert Philip Baum, editor of Aviation Security International, told The Observer that security needed to become both more unpredictable and more thorough to confound future terrorism attempts. Mr Hammond said a team of security experts from the UK's Department for Transport was travelling continually through airports reviewing safety practices. The costs of extending holidays for those left in the Red Sea resort, now about 14,000 people, is expected to be covered by tour operators and airlines. Russia has banned all flights to Egypt but is allowing special flights to bring Russian tourists back home from Sharm el-Sheikh. Some 11,000 tourists have now been returned back to Russia. Britons are being allowed to travel home with hand baggage only; hold luggage is to be flown back separately in the next week. They are being urged to stay in their resorts until they are told they have a confirmed place on a flight, and to follow airline guidance about what time to arrive at the airport. People returning to the UK have continued to describe chaotic scenes at Sharm el-Sheikh airport. The government said almost 2,000 people had been flown back to the UK on Sunday aboard eight flights. For Monday, British Airways has confirmed it will run one flight to Gatwick, Monarch will have two flights to Gatwick and Luton, Thomas Cook two flights to Gatwick and Manchester, and Easyjet one to Luton.",

Many residents view the peace walls as a necessary form of protection. However, some members of a cross-community youth programme in Belfast have called for the walls to come down. Could a new generation, who grew up after the 1998 Good Friday Agreement, help bring an end to the physical legacy of sectarian division? \"We don't see the need for peace walls,\" 18-year-old Aoife Loughran told BBC News NI. She said the sectarian violence of the Troubles had stopped and people in her area of Belfast had \"begun to have an understanding\" of those from different communities and religious backgrounds. \"I wouldn't have a second thought about what someone's religion is, I wouldn't ask them, it's nothing to do with me,\" she said. 'We weren't alive' The north Belfast teenager added that \"in generations to come\", the people who want to keep the peace walls would no longer be around, but her generation would still be affected by their decisions. \"It's going to be us who have to suffer the consequences, even though we weren't alive in the time of the Troubles.\" Stewart Pollock, from Belfast's Shankill Road, said he understood that the barriers help to make some people \"feel safer\". However, he said in his experience, the walls are no longer necessary. \"In this day and age, there is definitely no need for them to be there,\" Stewart said. \"I think it's holding us back even more, because [tourists] are coming over and seeing the big walls and they are saying that this country is still behind. \"It seems to be the older generation that's still there and they still have a bit of hatred towards the different communities. \"But people my age, because of all the different programmes going on, there's not really a big divide. I have a lot of friends from the other community.\" What is a peace wall? Northern Ireland's so-called peace walls can take many forms - some are high concrete structures; some are metal barriers, others are wooden fences or gates. There are currently more than 60 such interface barriers across Northern Ireland, which are managed by the Department of Justice and the Housing Executive. Many of the peace walls are a legacy of the Troubles, but several more have been erected during the last 20 years of relative peace. In fact, there are now more peace walls across Northern Ireland than there were before the signing of the 1998 Good Friday Agreement. Some of them are considered to be tourist attractions, with taxi drivers offering guided tours of Northern Ireland's shrines to segregation. Five years ago this month - Stormont's then first and deputy first ministers, Peter Robinson and Martin McGuinness, set a 10-year target to bring down all of Northern Ireland's peace walls. The 2023 target was part of the Northern Ireland Executive's \"shared future\" proposals, aimed at tackling political division and sectarianism. It was an ambitious objective. In May this year - half way along the target timeframe - a small number of the barriers have been removed. There was a significant development in February 2016, with the demolition of an 8ft (2.4m) peace wall that had divided communities in Ardoyne, north Belfast for about 30 years. Despite that breakthrough, in an area which had seen years of sectarian tension, dozens of barriers still run through other interfaces. The majority of peace walls are in Belfast but there also some in Londonderry and others in the Lurgan and Portadown areas of County Armagh. The Housing Executive manages 20 interface locations where barriers have been erected. The Department of Justice originally took ownership of 59 interface structures, but has worked with communities to reduce the number of barriers to 46.",

Interior Minister Matteo Salvini described the measure as \"a step forward to make Italy safer\". The measure needs the backing of lawmakers. The decree also envisages that asylum seekers accused of drug dealing will have their applications denied, Mr Salvini said. He has been a prominent figure in a public immigration crackdown in Italy since his government, a coalition between the right-wing League party and the anti-establishment Five Star Movement, came to power in June. The minister has frequently come into conflict with rescue ship operators and last month was involved in a public stand-off about the disembarkation of 150 migrants on a coast guard ship on the island of Sicily. Mr Salvini is under investigation for his role in the dispute. In a separate development, a rescue vessel operating in the central Mediterranean Sea has had its registration revoked by Panama leaving its future operations in jeopardy. When the Aquarius next docks, it will have to remove its Panama maritime flag and cannot set sail without a new registration, raising the possibility it may end up stuck in port. It is the last private rescue ship picking up migrants trying to cross from Libya to Europe and is currently sailing to the French port of Marseille with migrants on board. The charities running the Aquarius accuse the Italian government of pressuring Panama into deflagging it. The two groups which lease it, Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) and SOS Mediterranée, say they were notified of the decision by the Panama Maritime Authority (PMA) on Saturday. The authority is said to have described the ship as a \"political problem\" for the country's government, and said Italian authorities had urged them to take \"immediate action\" against them, according to SOS Mediterranée. Mr Salvini, who has previously described the aid boats as a \"taxi service\" for migrants, denies his country put pressure on Panama. According to the United Nations, more than 1,700 migrants have died trying to cross to Europe in 2018. The Aquarius has been operating in the area since February 2016, finding itself at the centre of diplomatic stand-offs in recent months over where to land rescued migrants. It was under the flag of the Gibraltar Maritime Administration until August this year, when it was given \"notice of removal\" and re-registered with Panama. The ship's operators say they were notified of the new decision while on a current mission, and say they have 58 survivors on board from two boats they found in distress. In a joint statement, the charities insisted they were in \"full compliance\" with maritime law and denounced the decision as condemning hundreds to death. The statement asks for European governments to step in to allow the vessel to continue its operations by either reassuring the Panamanian authorities or issuing it a new flag.",

On Monday, during a taping of her television show, DeGeneres said: \"I'm friends with George Bush. \"I'm friends with a lot of people who don't share the same beliefs I have.\" Bush, who served two terms as US president, has also faced condemnation for leading the country into war with Iraq and Afghanistan. DeGeneres interviewed Bush on her chat show in 2017. DeGeneres said she and her wife Portia had been invited to watch the Dallas Cowboys play the Green Bay Packers at the stadium in Dallas on Sunday by Charlotte Jones. \"She's the daughter of Jerry Jones who owns the Dallas Cowboys. And we went because we wanted to keep up with the Joneses\", said DeGeneres, with humour typical of her show. She said Jones had \"fancy\" friends and then showed her fans a video she took from the game, panning quickly around until she rested on Bush sitting in the next seat. He looked perturbed by the closeness of the camera before breaking into a grin. Returning to her monologue DeGeneres said she was aware she and her partner would be surrounded by people with different views and beliefs before explaining that she was referring at that point to the divided loyalties of the game. She returned to the controversy and said: \"During the game they showed a shot of George and me laughing together and so, people were upset. They thought why is a gay Hollywood liberal sitting next to a conservative Republican president?... But a lot of people were mad and they did what a lot of people do when they're mad - they tweet.\" She did not showcase any of the negative tweets but did showcase an edited version of one by @Matthew_Oooo which said: \"Ellen and George Bush together makes me have faith in America again.\" The original had a HAHAHA at the beginning of the tweet which had been taken out. The BBC messaged Matthew, who said he was a student in Canada and added: \"I think it's bizarre that a meaningless tweet from a Canadian has become such a talked about point in American news. \"I had zero political motivation for this, and I think it's hilarious how much it's grown from CNN to Buzzfeed etc. However, it is very cool to be on the Ellen show. I definitely wasn't expecting this.\" Matthew added he would love to be asked by the producers to go on Ellen's show and meet her but hadn't yet been asked. The video explanation posted by DeGeneres on Twitter has already had more than five million views. She ended her monologue saying that just because she didn't agree with someone on everything, it didn't mean that she wouldn't be friends with them. She urged people to be kind to each other and thanked the president for a fun afternoon, stating he also owed her $6 (£5) for nachos she had bought. Since leaving office, Bush has garnered a reputation as a softer character than when in office. His friendship with former First Lady Michelle Obama is well documented, with the two seen sharing sweets at public events.",

Several countries are evacuating their citizens and oil companies are relocating expat staff. Correspondents in Tripoli say the capital is calm but there is a sense of intimidation after a night of fighting. The UN Security Council is currently holding an informal closed session to discuss the crisis. The Arab League will also hold an emergency session. State TV has reported that Libyan leader Col Muammar Gaddafi will address the country later on Tuesday - it said he would announce \"major reforms\", but gave no details. 'Crimes against humanity' Overnight, Col Gaddafi dismissed reports that he had fled amid the unrest sweeping the country, calling foreign news channels \"dogs\". Speaking to state TV from outside a ruined building, he said: \"I am in Tripoli and not in Venezuela,\" after rumours that he had flown to Caracas. Meanwhile, UN human rights chief Navi Pillay said attacks on civilians could amount to crimes against humanity. In a statement, Ms Pillay condemned the \"callousness with which Libyan authorities and their hired guns are reportedly shooting live rounds of ammunition at peaceful protesters\". The BBC's Barbara Plett at the UN says the Security Council meeting is largely procedural, to determine what action can be taken. The issue is contentious, says our correspondent, as some council members, including China and Russia, see the unrest as purely domestic while western nations are expected to press for strong condemnation of the violence seen in Libya. Egypt's ruling military council said it had sent reinforcements to the main border crossing, the Salum passage, following a withdrawal by Libyan border guards. Around 10,000 Egyptian nationals based in their western neighbour are fleeing the violence. Thousands have already returned from Libya since the protests began almost a week ago. The Egyptian army has set up two field hospitals on the border to deal with the sick and injured. Egypt says it will send at least four aircraft to evacuate its citizens. But Foreign Minister Ahmed Aboul Gheit said the airport at Benghazi had been destroyed and there were problems getting flight permits. \"We know there are about one million to 1.5 million Egyptians in Libya, therefore we recommend to our citizens that you stay in your homes, stay off the streets, secure yourselves with water and food,\" he said. Evacuations Meanwhile, unconfirmed media reports said at least 300 foreign construction workers employed by a South Korean company, about 100 of them from Bangladesh, were being held against their will, possibly by protesters, in the eastern port of Darnah. There are about 50,000 Bangladeshis currently working in Libya. In other developments: Multiple fronts A BBC correspondent in Tripoli says there is a heavy police presence in the capital; however, the second city, Benghazi, is in opposition control and there is no sign of security forces. \"People have organised themselves to get order back to the city. They have formed committees to run the city,\" said eyewitness Ahmad Bin Tahir. Reports that military aircraft had fired on protesters in Tripoli on Monday have been backed up by Libyan diplomats who have turned against the leadership. But Col Gaddafi's son Saif al-Islam said the aircraft had been used only to bomb army bases which had defected to the opposition. The BBC's Jon Leyne, in western Egypt, says the regime now seems to be fighting on multiple fronts, trying to put down the protests and fighting a bitter battle against a growing number of army units that have risen up against the Libyan leader. Reuters reported that the Libyan side of the Egyptian border was now being controlled by opponents of Col Gaddafi armed with clubs and machine guns who were welcoming people across the border. A growing number of Libyan diplomats around the world have joined many western nations in condemning Col Gaddafi. Ali Aujali, Libya's ambassador to the US, said the Libyan regime was \"shaking\". The time had come to \"get rid of it\", he told Good Morning America, and urged the US to \"raise their voice very strongly\". \"Please, please, help the Libyan people. Help them. They are burning. We need the world to stand up by us.\" Meanwhile, Libyan state TV denied there had been any massacres, dismissing the reports as \"baseless lies\" by foreign media. Foreign journalists work under tight restriction in Libya, and much of the information coming from the country is impossible to verify. Human Rights Watch said at least 62 bodies had been taken to hospital morques since Sunday, in addition to the 233 people it said had been killed outside the capital previously. Other groups said that figure was much higher. The violence has helped to push up oil prices to their highest levels since the global financial crisis of 2008.",

He went on: \"For me, this season is also a time to think about the meaning of Christmas - the birth of Jesus Christ and the hope that gives to millions.\" He also praised servicemen and servicewomen \"helping bring peace here and around the world; to their families who cannot be with them; and to all the dedicated men and women in the emergency and caring services who are working hard to support those in need this Christmas\". In his Christmas message, Mr Miliband paid tribute to those who would be spending time caring for the lonely and the homeless. \"As Christians prepare to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, we should also take time to think of all those alone or suffering at this time of year,\" he said. \"I would like to pay particular tribute to the many people, churches and charities who will be looking after those who are alone or homeless this Christmas time. \"We should also pay tribute to those who will be working so that the rest of us have an enjoyable break, especially our medical staff, our police and our armed forces, thank you for your service.\"",

In a recent report, several women also accused him of psychological abuse. The FBI is looking at whether he sent explicit text messages to an underage teenager, something Adams has said he \"unequivocally\" denies. Adams' forthcoming album has been put on hold but tickets for his UK dates are still on sale. This has left some fans taking to social media to demand a refund from music venues and ticket companies. Emma Buff from Peterborough spent just under £50 on tickets to see Adams perform in April and feels \"quite shocked\" by the allegations made against him. \"Reading the allegations upset me quite a lot and I decided I didn't want any of my money to go to Ryan Adams in the future,\" she said. \"I've tried to get a refund on the ticket [and] I've yet to hear anything back\" she added. Emma says she has been a fan of the musician for a long time. Due to the recent claims, though, she is now more wary of whom she chooses to support. \"In the current climate we live in now, I definitely think about who I want my hard-earned money to go to... and I do think the whole [music] industry needs to look at itself.\" The BBC has approached three of the biggest ticketing websites in the UK to respond to whether or not fans will be given a refund. At the time of writing, none of them have replied. In an interview with Radio 4's You & Yours programme, New York Times European culture journalist Alex Marshall said there needed to be clarity on the issue from the music industry. Marshall said it was \"surprising\" that the companies involved in the tour have been silent since the allegations were published. \"I've tried to speak to the ticketing companies,\" he said. \"I've tried to speak to the venues and the promoter and I've had very little response back. \"That's leaving people in the dark about what's going on.\" In cases where allegations have been made against an artist, consumers are not legally entitled to their money back. Ticket holders would only be entitled to a refund if the organiser cancels, moves or reschedules the event. Kate Hobson, Consumer Expert at Citizens Advice, said: \"Ticket holders who change their mind for whatever reason about going to see a concert have no legal right to a refund. \"They could try reselling their ticket, but they should first check the advice on reselling on the Citizens Advice website.\" 'Change in culture' For the most part, artists and bands that have faced similar accusations have withdrawn plans to tour. In the case of Ryan Adams, Alex Marshall believes a delay in response as to whether the tour will go ahead as scheduled is down to many of the ticketing companies, venues and promoters who stand to lose money if the performances are cancelled. \"There seem to be some artists that believe they can keep going, no matter what's been said about them. \"But what you're hoping to see with the #MeToo movement is that people are raising these accusations, which will lead to a change in culture to make people aware of what's gone on in the past and what is deemed unacceptable.\" Three music companies have already severed ties with the indie rock star. In a statement on social media, Adams said he was \"not a perfect man\" and had \"made many mistakes.\" Yet he said the New York Times' article, which first raised the allegations, had painted an \"upsettingly inaccurate\" picture and that he \"would never have inappropriate interactions with someone I thought was underage.\" Follow us on Facebook, on Twitter @BBCNewsEnts, or on Instagram at bbcnewsents.

            "input": "By Laurence CawleyBBC News \"If it weren't for the National Health Service, my mum would be dead,\" says 18-year-old Ciara Wilkinson. Her mother, who has had diabetes since childhood, has recently undergone a below-the-knee amputation and is a regular hospital visitor. Ciara says she has seen first hand, as a result of her mother's experiences, a growing shortage of staff, beds and resources within the NHS. She is a reminder to anybody who assumes young people might not care about the NHS that this is not the case. Ciara witnessed how it took her mother two months to get the right benefits sorted out once out of hospital. Streamlining the benefits system, increasing NHS spending and lowering tuition fees are for her the key issues of the election. And while Ciara admits to trawling through MP voting records to find out what they really think, her fellow 18-year-old Kemal Ali confesses he has very little interest in politics. \"I really don't know much about politics. Honestly, I am almost clueless about it. \"I don't really watch or read the news. There is a lot of talk about and I find it quite boring. \"And I feel like such a small number in comparison with the whole country, that I'm just an individual and cannot change anything on my own.\" He does, however, voice concerns about the long-term effects of certain medicines and believes marijuana should be made legal - particularly for conditions, such as multiple sclerosis, in which a beneficial effect has been found. Sarah Harpin, 19, wants mental health - along with NHS and university tuition fees - put centre stage by all the main parties. She herself has suffered with mental health issues and knows she is far from being alone. \"I want as much to be done with mental health as possible - there should be help out there, there should be more funding for mental health services.\" Her vote, she says, would also be clinched by any party seeking to reduce or abolish university tuition fees. English universities can currently charge up to £9,250 a year. Although she would not let the fees prevent her going to university, Sarah said: \"I hate the idea that I may be going into so much debt.\" Between 2015 and 2016 the number of registered voters in the Colchester borough went up 9%, from 122,774 to 133,775. The reason, according to the Office of National Statistics, was a surge in interest in last year's EU Referendum. Poppy Borges-Wilby, 18, was caught up in that surge. \"I just missed out on having a vote in the EU Referendum,\" she said. \"And now I want to be able to vote - and if there is a chance that Brexit could be pushed back and we could stay in the EU then I would go for that. \"Then again though, we're not voting for a government but a member of parliament. So you've got to think about the MP and not just those at the top.\" All but one of the Colchester Institute students who spoke to the BBC have already decided where their vote is most likely to go. Simeon Moreira, 20, remains undecided - a fact that might surprise some, because having voted in 2015 he is a relative veteran when it comes to general elections. Citing the NHS, national debt, the shortage of housing and immigration as the issues he cared most about, Simeon said: \"It seems we are trying to solve these issues by having to choose between the parties that have created the problems.\" And getting impartial, factual information on which to base his vote is becoming increasingly difficult, he says. \"Facts don't seem to matter quite as much and I think that's a product of our culture with superficial television programming, in which we take the headlines and not the details. \"Yes, there's more (information) out there, but there's less debate and people are not being challenged.\" Jessica Shaw, 18, agrees. \"There was so much coverage of the EU Referendum but we got lots of opinions and no facts.\" But while Jessica, for whom the NHS again was a key issue, might read or watch items about politics online, she prefers not to engage with it there. \"I might watch a video on Facebook but I would debate it around the table with family.\" For Joe Green, 18, political content on social media is less a vehicle for debate than laughter or exasperation. \"I mainly follow things because they are funny.\" He says he followed the former UKIP leader Nigel Farage primarily for the comments other people would leave on his social media posts. \"It is funny to me that people would come up with these comments and you wonder what they are taking.\" Joe's key concern is that the NHS be kept in public ownership. And he does not care for Theresa May. Asked why, he responds: \"I don't know, I just don't like her.\" Some of the students reported feeling \"bombarded\" by political information online. Simeon sees political debate online as divisive - in which those with the most extreme views shout the loudest. \"It allows people to remain in their own bubble - people can follow the people they agree with and read the sites which see the world as they do.\" For Ciara, however, the internet has enabled her to discuss the issues that concern her on a global scale. She tells of a conversation with a friend in Florida about the differences between healthcare in the UK and the US. Such conversations, she says, both challenge and reinforce her views on the issues that matter to her. And from such global discussions, local votes will be cast. Pictures by Laurence Cawley",

            "input": "Here are some other key figures from the 286-page document. How are BBC services performing? Overall, the number of people watching BBC television is falling across high and low income homes. BBC One has seen its audience shrink by 2% since last year and BBC Two by 3%. The biggest drop comes in audiences aged between 16-34 who watch BBC TV weekly, down from 60% to 56%. The same age group is also watching for a shorter period of time, down from an average of nearly three hours a week to two hours and 32 minutes. From a gender perspective, there has been a joint fall, by 2% of men and women who watch the BBC weekly. The same is said of BBC Radio where men and women over the age of 16 are listening to less radio and for shorter times, up to 30 minutes less than last year in most age groups. Radio 1's reach has dipped by less than one percent while Radio 2 remains unchanged. The BBC's online offering continue to perform well with 2% increases in usage by male and female audiences over the age of 18. There has been a 6% increase in online users from the C2DE demographic which includes working class and lower income households. It has been a bumper year for iPlayer with 3.6bn programme requests, the most popular being Bodyguard. Killing Eve's first series had 42.5 million overall requests. How much does this all cost? The BBC has seen the money from its annual licence fee drop by £140 million, from £3.83bn to £3.69bn - due partly to the government's phased reduction of funding for free TV licences for the over 75s, something which was imposed as part of the 2015 licence fee settlement In June, the BBC said it will no longer fund free licences for up to 3.7 million pensioners, with only low-income households where one person receives the pension credit benefit eligible. The announcement was attacked by the likes of Age UK, which set up a petition calling for the government to foot the bill. The BBC's chairman David Clementi said on Tuesday: \"The BBC has never paid for the concession, the government ended that funding, it was not the BBC,\" adding, \"any future concession would be paid for by those who already pay the licence fee\" which would mean cutting services. He said cutting talent salaries to pay for the concession would make no difference, saving around £20 million of the £745 million required to fund free licences. There is no question that audiences aged 55 and over are BBC television's most loyal consumers - with a staggering 92% reach in that age group, who watch nearly 13 minutes of BBC TV a week, compared with the two and a half minutes watched by 16-34 year olds. Of the licence fee's £12.54 cost per household per month, £6.92 goes on television, £2.17 on radio and £1.24 on the World Service. The BBC also saw a fall in income caused by the decline in the sale of consumer products, i.e. DVDs, to the tune of £33 million. How is the BBC performing on gender equality and pay? When it comes to those earning above £150,000 a year, the BBC is operating at a ratio of 60/40 in favour of men. Across the board, women make up 47.9% of the BBC's workforce and 43.8% of leadership roles. According to Lord Hall, the figures represent \"rapid and real change\". He said the gender pay gap is 3% or less at all pay grades, adding \"it's not the end of the process but the BBC is well ahead of other organisations\". Speaking to media editor Amol Rajan, Lord Hall said the BBC has resolved more than 90% of 32 pay disputes. \"It is inevitable that in any large organisation that you get people querying their pay but what we discovered as we look across 20,000 people we employ, we found 25 cases which were about equal pay and seven more we spotted and said we need to pay them more.\" People from BAME backgrounds make up 15.3% of staff, people with disabilities 10.2% and people who identify as LGBT 10.8%. What of BBC Scotland? In February, the BBC launched the digital channel BBC Scotland which the corporation said was \"the BBC's biggest investment in Scotland for a generation\". Specialist programmes include Emeli Sande's Street Symphony, which follows the singer across Scotland as she picks a handful of buskers to put on a concert. As the service is less than six months old, there are no official figures as yet, though BBC DG Tony Hall said \"during its core hours of broadcast, from 7pm until midnight, it's the most watched digital channel in Scotland\". However, in June, it was reported that on one particularly quiet day in May, the new channel had an average audience of only 7,200 people. A BBC spokesperson said at the time: \"It's not unusual for digital channels outside the main five to occasionally record zero audiences.\" \"It really is finding new voices and a new dynamic in Scotland which I think is really impressive so I'm really proud of the channel,\" said Lord Hall on Tuesday. In Tuesday's annual report, the BBC shows a two percent drop in households watching television and a four percent drop in radio, where audiences are listening for over an hour less per week than they were in 2017/18. There was a similar drop of 4%, from 49% - 45% in households watching dedicated Scottish new services. What is the BBC's environmental impact? In news bulletins and and documentary programming, the BBC has drawn attention to climate change and, via Blue Planet II, the scourge of plastic in the oceans. Since 2015/16, the BBC has reduced its carbon footprint by 78% but has yet to make an impact on its energy usage, which has a target of 10% by 2022. BBC canteens have ditched plastic cups, containers and cutlery, which has seen waste reduced by 25% with 50% of waste recycled. That is a drop from last year which the BBC has said it will \"take steps to address\". The BBC has also committed to no single-used plastic by 2022.",

The report said \"committed and hardworking\" social workers faced challenges including high caseloads and systems that did not support effective practice. Council chiefs have apologised and vowed to make speedy improvements. The report, published on Friday, said the overall effectiveness of the Conservative-run authority's child protection arrangements were inadequate, as well as its leadership and governance and quality of practice. Inspectors found \"significant deficits\" in key elements when they carried out an unannounced visit last month. 'Recent instability' Other areas found wanting were in the council's effectiveness to help and protect children, young people, families and carers, the report found. It said social workers faced challenges including \"recent instability at senior management level\". The Labour group on the council said it had had concerns since a single directorate for children and adult's services was introduced five years ago. Adam Price, the party's spokesman for children and young people, said the directorate was \"simply too big for one director to deal with\". He said: \"We call on the council to revert to the former senior leadership model of separate directors of Children's Services and Adult Services to ensure the best possible chance of recovering from this unacceptable position. \"We also call on the council to report back publicly in 100 days on the progress that has been made to attempt to regain some confidence with Medway residents following today's report.\" Ofsted inspectors found that some cases were closed without families being redirected to another service or offered further support. No children were deemed at \"immediate risk\" but the report said failings in case recording, quality of practice and management oversight led to \"some children being inadequately protected\". Conservative Les Wicks, the council's portfolio holder for children's services, said: \"I would like to unreservedly apologise to the people of Medway, our children and families, for our failure to deliver the children's safeguarding service that our children and young people in Medway deserve. \"The situation is not good enough and is not acceptable.\" Neil Davies, the authority's chief executive, said it was an \"immensely disappointing\" report for the authority, which had its child protection services rated adequate following its last inspection in 2011. He said that Ofsted had introduced more rigorous testing since then. Mr Davies said positives highlighted in the report included that the new senior managers at the authority were \"very clear\" about the changes needed and that they recognised that the pace of improvement had been too slow. He said: \"I have been very forthright in my belief that the work we do around child protection and safeguarding needs to improve and when it became clear last year that this was not happening quickly enough I considered this unacceptable.\" He said that he was confident that the directorate under Barbara Peacock, the director of children and adult services, had the right leadership and the right plan in place to deliver the improvements needed.",

            "input": "Science and universities minister Sam Gyimah quit after Mrs May said the UK was pulling out of Galileo. The UK wanted to stay part of it but the EU said it would be banned from extra-secure elements of the project. Mr Gyimah said it was a foretaste of the \"brutal negotiations\" to come. He's the 10th member of government to resign over the agreement, which he dismissed as a \"deal in name only\". He said he intended to vote against the deal negotiated with Brussels, and called for another referendum. The UK's interests \"will be repeatedly and permanently hammered by the EU27 for many years to come\", Mr Gyimah said in a Facebook post setting out his reasons for resigning. However, prominent Brexiteer and cabinet minister Michael Gove has defended Mrs May's plan, writing in the Daily Mail that leaving the EU is under \"great threat\" if the deal is rejected by MPs. Meanwhile, Mrs May is in Argentina, where she met Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe for talks on the fringes of the G20 summit on Saturday. He asked her to avoid a no-deal Brexit - major Japanese companies such as Nissan and Honda are concerned about the possible impact on their supply chains across Europe. She told him she was confident Japanese businesses in the UK would continue to trade well with the EU. Mrs May also held talks with Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison. Security interests Galileo is the EU's upcoming version of the US's GPS, which is used by millions of people around the world, and will be used by EU governments, citizens, military and industry. Brussels has said that, as a result of Brexit, the UK will not be allowed immediate access to part of the system intended for use by government agencies, the armed forces and emergency responders once it comes online in 2020. But the UK, which has invested €1.4bn (£1.24bn) in the project, says access is vital to its military and security interests. Mr Gyimah told BBC Radio 4's Today: \"What has happened with Galileo is a foretaste of the brutal negotiations we will go through that will weaken our national interests, make us poorer and less secure.\" Mrs May has now said the British army will not use Galileo and the UK will instead explore options to build its own satellite-navigation system - having already set aside £92m to look at how it can be done. \"I cannot let our armed services depend on a system we cannot be sure of,\" Mrs May said. \"That would not be in our national interest.\" Will more Remainers voice their fears? By Laura Kuenssberg, BBC political editor As Theresa May was sitting down to at a glittering evening with her fellow world leaders at the G20, news broke that Sam Gyimah had just become the latest minister to quit over Brexit. He had a specific reason to leave. But it is his overall verdict on Mrs May's Brexit compromise that will really hurt. There is some comfort overnight for Mrs May from Michael Gove, who as one of the leading voices in the Leave campaign is, belatedly perhaps, urging his Brexiteer colleagues to get onboard. But this latest resignation is another sign of how hard it will be for the prime minister to pass the vote that could define her future. Read more from Laura here Mr Gyimah, who voted for Remain in the referendum, said it was the right decision for Mrs May to leave the Galileo project, saying the negotiations had been \"stacked against us from the very beginning\". The MP for East Surrey said that, as minister with the responsibility for space technology, he had seen \"the EU stack the deck against us time and time again\". He told Today: \"Looking at the deal in detail, we don't actually have a deal. We have a deal in name only. \"We have given up our voice, our veto and our vote. Our interests will be hammered because we will have no leverage.\" He urged Mrs May not to rule out another referendum if she loses the 11 December vote. \"If Parliament was in deadlock, Theresa May could get herself out of that deadlock by backing a second referendum,\" he said. BBC political editor Laura Kuenssberg said it was \"another very dangerous moment\" for the prime minister - as she is not just losing another vote, but also because others may share his concerns and choose to quit too. 'Matter of compromise' Culture Secretary Jeremy Wright said he was \"very sad\" to see Mr Gyimah leave the government and that he had been \"a very good minister\". \"All of my colleagues are going to have to make their own judgment about what they think about this deal,\" he told BBC Radio 4's Today programme. He said that Mrs May's deal should not be compared with an idealised version of Brexit. Former Tory cabinet minister and campaigner for a second referendum Justine Greening said Mr Gyimah was a \"highly respected and capable minister\" and praised him for not ruling out another vote. And the Lib Dem's education spokeswoman, Layla Moran, said Mr Gyimah had \"seen at close quarters the devastating effect this botched Brexit will have on these important sectors\" and that his exit showed the government was \"falling apart\". Matt Waddup, of the University and College Union, said his resignation showed there were clear concerns about the impact of Brexit on research and innovation and higher and further education. \"Those concerns are shared by our members in colleges and universities who have clearly signalled that they want a referendum on any final deal,\" he added. What is Galileo? Many people's sat-navs and mobile location services currently run on a US military-based system called GPS - global positioning system - which uses satellites to pinpoint our locations. China and Russia also have satellite-navigation positioning systems. In 1999, the European Union embarked on a plan to put together its own network of satellites, called Galileo, so it was not reliant on the US, Russian and Chinese systems. The first satellites were put into orbit in 2013 and it is planned to be fully operational in 2020 with 30 satellites orbiting earth. UK companies have built components for Galileo and one of the project's two Galileo Security Monitoring Centres was based in the UK, in Swanwick. The site is now being relocated to Spain. The government said there should be no noticeable impact for the public from withdrawing from the project, as devices that already use Galileo, such as smartphones, will carry on doing so. It says UK industry has earned about €1.15bn (£1.02bn) from the project but, when the BBC asked if any more money would be given back, a spokesman said the project was \"part of the withdrawal agreement\" and the UK had reached \"a fair financial settlement with the EU\".",

            "input": "However the health minister has said a plan to introduce presumed consent on donations is not to blame for the fall. Mark Drakeford said the figures needed to be seen in context. NHS Blood and Transplant (NHSBT) figures showed despite last year's drop, over the last five years there had been a small rise of 15% overall in donations from Wales. Wales saw the lowest rise in donations over the last five years of the four home nations - well below the average of 50%. There were 52 organ donations after death in Wales in 2012/13, down from 67 the previous year. The Welsh government is hoping to adopt a system of presumed consent for donating organs after death. The opt-out system, which could be introduced in 2015, would mean everyone is regarded as a willing donor when they die unless they state otherwise. Currently if people wish to donate after death they must join the donor register, carry donor cards or express their wishes to family. \"Over the last five years, the numbers of deceased organ donors in Wales has followed a generally positive trend,\" said Mr Drakeford. \"Fluctuations in these figures are to be expected and because the numbers involved in these statistics are relatively small, slight changes in numbers can affect the overall picture greatly. \"The trend, rather than single year changes, tells the important story.\" \"There is no specific evidence that the fall in donor numbers is related to the Welsh government's proposed legislation on organ donation,\" added Mr Drakeford. \"We believe a system of deemed consent is the most effective way to increase the numbers of organs available for transplant and save lives.\" A debate in the assembly on the Human Transplantation (Wales) Bill is expected later this month. Specialist nurses In 2008, the UK's health ministers accepted recommendations of the Organ Donation Taskforce on increasing donations. The rise has been largely credited to the network of specialist nurses who approach and support bereaved relatives in hospitals. Since the Taskforce report recommendations the number of people donating organs after death has risen 50% across the UK. Scotland and Northern Ireland saw the largest increases in deceased donors, by 74% and 82% respectively. Each donor has the potential to help nine people through donation of a heart, lungs, two kidneys, pancreas, liver and small bowel and two corneas.",

But Roger, who died in 2006, had spent much of the early part of his life as someone else entirely: Syd Barrett. You might also like John Lennon letter to Queen valued at £60,000 Slippers saved from 1939 Wizard of Oz film The end for Essex Girls? Adored by fans across the globe, he was the principal songwriter and driving creative force in the early days of Pink Floyd, the band he was a founding member of and in which he sang and played guitar. But just when the band's career was taking off, Barrett's drug use and mental health issues resulted in increasingly erratic behaviour. It led to his departure from the band and his eventual return to Cambridge as a semi-recluse. Following his death from cancer in 2006, there were calls for the city where he had spent his formative years and later life to commemorate him in some way. Now, in a year that is both the 70th anniversary of his birth and the 10th anniversary of his death, the calls have been answered. Working alongside Barrett's family, arts and events charity Cambridge Live is unveiling a specially-designed artwork in memory of the former Cambridgeshire High School for Boys pupil. It will be installed in the foyer of the Cambridge Corn Exchange, the venue where Barrett played his last ever live gig, remembered for being a disastrous performance by a very different man than the bright, dynamic young performer he had once been. The commemorative events at the venue will also include a sold-out concert by Swedish band Men on the Border, who play cover versions of Barrett's solo work, accompanied by a 50-piece orchestra. The plans have been a year in the making and have been spearheaded by Cambridge Live's operations director Neil Jones, himself a big fan of Pink Floyd and its former star, Syd. \"When I first moved here, I couldn't believe there was no memorial or legacy for the city's biggest musical export,\" he said. \"Now it feels like the planets are aligned with the significance of the year, and it's all just come together.\" Barrett's sister Rosemary, 69, will be participating in the celebrations, but says if her brother were alive, he would probably have stayed at home. \"He wouldn't have been interested in it - he wouldn't have turned up, and just let people get on with it,\" she said. \"I'm proud of the fact he could have given so many people pleasure through his music, but I know he wasn't proud of himself - he was just having fun.\" Barrett's musical journey began in Cambridge in the 1950s where he won a piano duet competition with his sister, aged seven. At school he was friends with Roger Waters and David Gilmour - both of whom would later play in Pink Floyd - and in his teens he began adopting the nickname \"Syd\". After honing his craft in a few local bands and making a name for himself in the city, he attended the Camberwell College of Art at a time when London was the epicentre of the UK underground music scene. The band he joined there, which included Waters and Richard Wright as members, would later evolve into Pink Floyd - a name Barrett came up with. By 1967, the band had signed a record deal and released two singles - Arnold Layne and See Emily Play - both of which were written by Barrett. But their early success coincided with the onset of serious issues for Barrett, whose use of LSD and other psychedelic drugs was well-known. After erratic performances in the US and troubled behaviour in rehearsals he left the band in 1968 and moved back to Cambridge to live with his mother, Win, in her three-bedroom house in Cherry Hinton. Meanwhile, Pink Floyd continued without him, going on to pay tribute to their former bandmate in their 1975 composition Shine On You Crazy Diamond, and becoming one of the most successful and influential rock groups ever. Barrett embarked on a solo career which saw him perform at the Cambridge Corn Exchange in 1972 - the last live show he played. \"It's no secret that it was far from the finest performance of his career,\" said Neil Jones of Cambridge Live. \"Notoriously, it was shambolic, and from what we gather it was abandoned midway through\". Jack Monck, a bass player who was on stage with Barrett that night, said: \"It's become this iconic moment, but at the time it was the opposite. I didn't spend time regretting it, but I do regret we weren't more savvy and prepared.\" Mr Jones says unveiling a memorial at the venue would not involve \"brushing what happened under the carpet\". \"The fact remains, it was his final ever live performance. It was a moment in history - and that's what we're remembering,\" he said. 'Remember when you were young, you shone like the sun' The artwork itself, named CODA and to be unveiled later, was chosen from a shortlist by Barrett's sister and her nephew. They picked it, she said, because it seemed \"the right choice for what we were doing - very bright and sparkly, but quite basic\". \"It is what it is without any extra bits,\" she added, describing her brother - who reverted to the name Roger in the 1970s, and would answer the door to strangers by saying \"Syd doesn't live here anymore\" - as a \"very straightforward, ordinary guy\". \"I would like him to be remembered for what he was - fun,\" she said. \"He only got into that world because he enjoyed music - he didn't know why people were interested in him. \"I've never liked or understood Pink Floyd, but I love his paintings and he was at his happiest when he was doing that,\" she said. As part of the tributes, previously unseen footage of Barrett was screened as part of the Cambridge Film Festival. The documentary film, \"Get All That, Ant?\", was put together by Anthony Stern, a former school friend of Barrett who worked as a professional photographer capturing images of London's 1960s counterculture scene. He remembers Barrett as \"very charming, very bouncy, very youthful\", and said he did not think the musician ever really grew up. \"He was self expressive and didn't let go of the dreams, memories and affections of his childhood.\" Bass player Monck recalls the influence Barrett's home city had on a man he described as a \"creative spark\". \"I think there's no doubt Cambridge had a profound effect on him. He was absolutely umbilically linked to the city,\" he said. \"It's surprising there hasn't been a memorial as yet, but that's all going to change now.\"",

A third of those start-ups stop trading after 3 years, according to research. Failure rate If someone over 25 years old starts their own business there's a 50:50 chance of it surviving for more than 3 years, the Experian figures say. But it's closer to a one in three chance for the under 25s. One explanation for this is people in their late teens or early 20s don't tend to have as much experience, business know-how or cash. Another reason is younger bosses are more likely to start-up in easier areas, Adam Swash from Experian says. \"Retail, hospitality, catering, construction,\" Adam lists as the most common areas of business. \"But these industries are pretty much at the whim of consumer spending at the moment and they're tough.\" There's no reason young entrepreneurs can't make a go of it despite the doom and gloom, he says. Advice for young entrepreneurs is do as much planning as possible and team up with an older partner or mentor. Make a job, don't take a job Nikki Hesford isn't your average entrepreneur. She got pregnant at 17 and did glamour modelling to pay her way through university. She graduated in 2008 just as the recession kicked in. Nikki says she applied for about 90 jobs. \"I couldn't even get £9,500-a-year roles and I thought, oh my God, this is worse than I expected.\" She had another problem too - getting interview outfits to fit her size 8, 34D frame which gave her a business idea. Nikki decided to start an online store selling clothes for slim but curvy women. The 26-year-old admits it's not been easy and says banks laughed at her when she asked for loans. Even when her website was set up, nothing happened. It took 6 weeks for her first order to come in. Three years on and her company Miss Fit UK now sells to major high street chains and she's expecting to bring in a quarter of a million pounds this year. Nikki's top tip for young entrentpreneurs is to be resilient.\"You'll get so many people saying, no thank you. Sometimes no doesn't mean no, it means not now.\"",

They are cutting a commercial in San Antonio, Texas, which should be on TV screens by the end of the week. 'Open the doors' Financed by a loose grouping of Republicans, this campaign is designed to convince conservatives that the time has come to get serious about immigration reform. Some Republicans think time is running out - they have one last chance to woo Hispanic voters. If they miss this opportunity they may never win over a group who may hold the key to winning future elections. Lionel Sosa is an ad man, a Republican and a Latino, who was involved in the presidential campaigns for Ronald Reagan and both George HW and George W Bush. He says that what happened last year must not be repeated. \"Republicans did horribly with Latinos in the last election, as bad as we have ever done, and there are reasons for it. Latinos saw Republicans as rich, Anglo, isolated and judgmental.\" He says if a candidate is seen as anti-immigrant it matters to Latinos who are American citizens, who then perceive him as unfriendly and intolerant. Latino support was certainly pretty important to President Barack Obama, and the Democrats are determined to keep it. The president is announcing his plans for immigration reform in the state of Nevada later on Tuesday. A bipartisan group of senators has just nipped in ahead of him with their own ideas. The crux of the issue is what to do about the 11 million or so illegal immigrants in the US, many of whom are from Mexico. In the last election many Republicans scoffed at the idea of giving them amnesty, saying that would reward criminal behaviour. The senators' proposals would toughen border controls and then offer illegal immigrants a path to a green card, after paying a fine and back taxes. Mr Sosa says something like this is vital. \"This is a very divisive issue, a very difficult issue, but we Republicans know this - we do not want it on the table in 2016 so we better solve it in a year or so. \"Of course, there are a lot of Republicans who are not going to like the new bill, but we don't want to be viewed as intolerant and we don't want to be viewed as nasty. \"We want to be viewed as people who welcome people, who open the doors and say: 'You are part of what makes this country great'.\" President Obama knows this is an issue that could split Republicans - and they may be unwilling to agree to any package with his name on it, but it is one area where it is just possible Congress may, eventually, act.",

Solo: A Star Wars Story is the first film in the series to screen at Cannes since Revenge of the Sith in 2005. Out next week in the UK, it depicts the early days of space pirate Han Solo. Alden Ehrenreich plays the character made famous by Harrison Ford in the original Star Wars trilogy and Star Wars: The Force Awakens. The 28-year-old was joined at the premiere by British actresses Emilia Clarke, Thandie Newton and Phoebe Waller-Bridge, who appears in the film as a testy robot. The Fleabag star was joined at the film's beach party by her partner, the director and playwright Martin McDonagh. British actor Paul Bettany, who has a villainous role in the film, arrived with his actress wife Jennifer Connelly on his arm. Also on hand was American actor and musician Donald Glover, who plays a younger version of the Lando Calrissian character originally played by Billy Dee Williams. Tuesday's screening in Cannes followed the US premiere that took place in Hollywood last week. Speaking on Tuesday, Howard said being at Cannes with the film was important as the Star Wars saga \"speaks to the entire planet\". \"I've always been a fan of the Star Wars movies but now I realise why we see them over and over again,\" he went on. Howard took over the director's chair after Christopher Miller and Phil Lord, co-directors of The Lego Movie, left the film last year. The Apollo 13 film-maker attributed their departure to \"creative differences\" and said he had to \"take a creative leap\" to take over the film mid-production. Ehrenreich, hitherto best known for his role as a slow-witted cowboy actor in the Coen brothers' Hail, Caesar!, said the chance to step into Harrison Ford's shoes was \"beyond anything [he] could have imagined\". \"When you're signing on to something like this, you're signing on to a whole life adventure,\" he continued. More from Cannes: Woody Harrelson, meanwhile, only half-jokingly referred to playing the young Han's mentor as \"the pinnacle of his career\". \"We're really breathing some rarefied air to be in Star Wars,\" said the former Cheers star. \"I'm very psyched about it.\" Reviews for Solo: A Star Wars Story have generally been favourable, though the Hollywood Reporter felt Howard \"never quite manages to launch the Millennium Falcon into hyperdrive\". Variety's critic, meanwhile, said the film \"allows for moments of real grit\" and calls its action sequences \"machine-tooled spectacles of the first order\". Set a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, Solo introduces its title character as an opportunistic scavenger who dreams of starting a new life on another planet. His adventures see him meet and form a bond with a giant furry ape character named Chewbacca - \"Chewie\" for short. The film screened out of competition at this year's film festival and is therefore not eligible for the event's awards. Follow us on Facebook, on Twitter @BBCNewsEnts, or on Instagram at bbcnewsents.

The men's football gets under way later, with matches including Britain v Senegal at 20:00 BST (19:00 GMT). Speaking to BBC News, Prime Minister David Cameron highlighted benefits of the Games, and said: \"The real legacy is the inspiration to young people.\" He added: \"People are going to be coming to our country over the next few weeks and seeing a really inspiring sight. \"That's about a people's Olympics, not a government Olympics.\" In other news: 'Very upset' The BBC's sports editor David Bond said the flag mix-up at Hampden Park had been an \"embarrassing mistake\" and not the start Games organisers would have wanted, but \"no great harm was done\". As the North Korean players were being introduced before the match against Colombia, South Korean flags were mistakenly displayed in the video package. The squad walked off and could only be persuaded to return when the teams were announced again with each player's face displayed next to the North Korean flag, delaying kick-off by about an hour. Relations between the two Koreas are tense - they remain technically at war following the 1950-53 Korean conflict, which ended in an armistice. Speaking after the match, North Korea's coach Sin Ui Gun said: \"Our team was not going to participate unless the problem was solved properly... \"Unfortunately it took some time later for the broadcast to be done again properly and we made the decision to go on with the match.\" It was not immediately clear who had produced the video shown in the stadium. London 2012 spokesman Andy Mitchell said: \"The South Korean flag was shown in the video package on the screen before the kick-off and the North Koreans were naturally very upset about that... \"A genuine mistake was made for which we apologise.\" BBC Scotland football reporter Alasdair Lamont said that during the delay to the game the crowd had become frustrated at a lack of information. \"I don't think there was any reason given the entire time before the kick-off eventually took place as to why there had been a hold-up,\" he said. \"They were simply given a couple of messages saying there was 'an issue behind the scenes, we're doing our best to resolve it', and that was basically it.\" One spectator, Paul, told BBC Radio 5 live: \"An announcement was made that there was a technical problem behind the scenes, and even then when the players came back on, they came back on for a second warm-up, and quite a large portion of the crowd started booing.\" North Korea's state news agency KCNA made no mention of the blunder in its report on Thursday of the team's 2-0 victory over Colombia. North Korea will face South Korea in the first round of the men's Olympic table tennis team event after the pair were drawn against each other on Wednesday. 'Value for money' In an interview on BBC Breakfast, asked about benefits to the wider UK from the London 2012 Games, Mr Cameron said: \"I think we will get value for money as a country.\" He said that the Games were expected to come in under their £9bn budget, while there were predicted to be \"£13bn in economic benefits from the deals that are going to be done, the extra spending, the extra tourism and all the rest of it\". The nation would enjoy the physical infrastructure left by the Games, he said, giving the example of the aquatics centre's expected 800,000 visitors a year. \"But the real legacy is the inspiration to young people who will want to take up sport, who will be inspired by the competitive ethos of the Olympics, who will see Britain at its best,\" the prime minister said. The opening match in the men's football gets under way at 12:00 BST at Hampden Park when Honduras take on Morocco, followed by Spain v Japan. Matches are also taking place at St James' Park in Newcastle, Cardiff's Millennium Stadium and the City of Coventry Stadium.",

He was given very low doses over the weekend and has since been discharged - and his doctors say he is doing well. Critics object as brain cells from foetuses were used to create the cells. The patient received a very low dose of stem cells in an initial trial to assess the safety of the procedure. Over the next year, up to 12 more patients will be given progressively higher doses - again primarily to assess safety - but doctors will be looking closely to see if the stem cells have begun to repair their brains and if their condition has improved. Early stages The company making the stem cells says the trial has ethical approval from the medicine's regulator. It also points out that foetuses were used in the very early stages of the research and are now no longer used. Professor Keith Muir, a neuroscientist at Glasgow University and a consultant neurologist at Southern General Hospital, said if the trials went well it would lead to more detailed research. \"We hope that in the future it will lead to larger studies to determine the effectiveness of stem cells on the disabilities that result from strokes,\" he said. The first group of patients to receive the treatment will be men over 60 who have shown little or no improvement in their condition over a number of years. It is an ideal group to assess the safety of the procedure - doctors will be keen to know first of all that the treatment makes them no worse. But having such a precisely defined group will enable doctors and scientists to compare like with like if they notice any improvement - even in these early stages. If these trials show promise, doctors plan larger trials on a more varied group of patients. The earliest this could begin is in two years' time. There will be more focus on assessing the effectiveness, if any, of the stem cell treatment and on which groups it works best. Patients will be monitored for two years, followed by longer term procedures after that. The announcement from the Glasgow team comes a few weeks after the US firm Geron said it had begun its clinical trials on a patient to develop a treatment for paralysis. The development of stem cell treatments is still at a research stage and it is likely to be many years before becoming widely available. But new potential treatments are now beginning to make their way from the scientist's laboratory into the doctor's clinic. Strokes kill around 67,000 people in the UK every year, according to the Stroke Association. The charity says it is the third most common cause of death in England and Wales after heart disease and cancer. The disabilities suffered by patients also have a greater impact than any other chronic disease, it adds. The trial is being carried out with ReNeuron Group plc which was given approval from the UK Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) in January last year. The company's Chief Executive Officer Michael Hunt said: \"The initiation of the clinical trial is a major and hard-won milestone in the development of therapies to address the severely disabling effects of stroke.\"",

The Association of Directors of Children's Services says the practice is immoral and should be banned. Foster agencies question the way in which councils cost their own services. The National Association of Foster Providers also says transfers of foster carers to agencies from local authority employment may happen for reasons to do with the needs of the child. In-house council provision v private provision Source: ADCS A recent independent review of residential care by government adviser Sir Martin Narey said that in 2014-15, eight commercial fostering agencies made around £41m in profit. Not all agencies make money, some are charities or not for profit organisations. The president of ADCS, Dave Hill, said that companies should not be profiteering from children in care and objected very strongly to \"golden hellos\". \"Local authorities are very committed to recruiting, training and supporting foster carers and that costs a lot of money,\" he said. \"Then these agencies come along with a golden hello, they take our foster carers and we're massively out of pocket. \"We think that's immoral and wrong and we think it should be stopped with immediate effect.\" 'That is wrong' Mr Hill said that it cost authorities thousands of pounds to assess and train foster carers - a cost that was wasted if the carer then transferred to an agency. And often the council, which has responsibility for children in care, will then have to pay the agency much more for the placement to continue. However, he said, the foster carer did not get any extra money for looking after the child. \"We think those resources ought to be spent directly on the care of children in the care system and other children in our area,\" he added. \"This is simply just taking that money away from the needs of local children and we think that is wrong.\" Jan's story Jan Hester has fostered nearly 50 children during her 11 years as a foster carer for Essex County Council and has seven children of her own. With a degree in therapeutic fostering, Jan now specialises in caring for children from the most traumatic backgrounds. She has always taken her role as a mum very seriously and regards fostering as a vocation rather than as a means of making money - foster carers are not paid an hourly minimum wage, she says. She has been approached by independent fostering agencies but has always turned them down though she says she understands why some carers might be tempted. \"I don't agree with it. The amount of work that goes into getting someone approved... takes months, hours and hours of social workers' time to get you through that process... and then to be poached and go to another agency.\" Jan fears some agencies might not offer the same level of support to carers as local authorities. \"I also know lots of foster carers that now attend the foster carer support groups that I attend that have come from those agencies, because they felt unsupported and that they felt there was more training and more support with the local authority... \"If you're unsupported, ultimately it's the children that are going to suffer because these can be really traumatised children that need lots of support... \"If you don't get the same support you can't cope as a foster carer when those children are displaying really complex behaviours. You end up with them being moved on and being moved and moved and ultimately the child suffers.\" Harvey Gallagher, the chief executive of the Nationwide Association of Fostering Providers, said councils' calculations of their costs for fostering did not include the full total of back office and support costs. He said the NAFP had looked in detail at the way a small number of local authorities cost their own in-house fostering services and said they were based on \"seemingly arbitrary assumptions\". \"Little account\" is taken of the differing needs of children when looking at costs, he said, adding that those placed with independent foster providers often have greater needs and therefore looking after them is more expensive. Children and Families Minister Edward Timpson said: \"As someone whose own family fostered for many years, I greatly value the vital contribution that foster carers make to children's lives and am committed to ensuring they receive the support they need. \"That's why, following the recommendation made in the independent review by Sir Martin Narey, we are launching a national stocktake of fostering to better understand current provision - including looking at the role fostering agencies play. \"Alongside this we have supported the testing of new and innovative models of foster care through the £200m Children's Social Care Innovation Programme, including better ways to support foster carers.\" The revelation comes amid a shortage of foster carers. It is thought that at least 9,000 new fostering families are needed to look after the record number of children in care in England. CoramBAAF, the independent adoption and fostering organisation, says the government's review of foster provision is a good opportunity to look at the financial incentives. Jacqui Lawrence, a fostering development consultant, said: \"Both independent agencies and local authorities can provide effective support services to foster carers in different ways and it does not have to be solely financially led. \"The focus needs to return to encouraging foster carers to explore what it is they need from their agency to enable them to take comfort and delight in the children and young people they are caring for.\"",

But I'm afraid it awoke my inner mischief-maker - and set me wondering just how secure was KPMG itself. The company said its cyber response team had examined public data from every FTSE 350 firm to see if they were vulnerable to attackers. They found that every single one of them was leaking email addresses, employee usernames and sensitive file locations - the sort of material that would make the work of hackers a lot easier But is it possible to leave no trace online that cyber attackers might exploit? To answer this, I recruit my own cyber response team in the form of the security blogger Graham Cluley and ask him to take a look at KPMG's own online public presence. Within minutes he reports back. \"We know from the press release,\" he tells me, \"that KPMG's email format is firstname.lastname@kpmg.co.uk. Go to LinkedIn, search for KPMG UK employees. I'm seeing 2742 results at the moment. \"I could email those 2742 employees, forging my email address to be the chairman of KPMG. He helpfully gives his email address on the company website. \"The email could say something like 'Great news team! We have launched a new KPMG intranet at (insert dangerous link here). Simply login with your usual network username and password to get the new great content... blah blah' and chances are that I would phish some of the KPMG team. \"Of course, it would be easy to be more targeted than that.

            "input": "The money is part of a £440m UK package aimed at delivering access to superfast broadband. The cash comes from \"efficiency savings\" and money returned by BT as part of the UK government's broadband rollout scheme. Critics said they feared the scheme would not benefit those with the worst service. Under a 2010 deal, the UK government paid BT to roll out superfast broadband in hard-to-reach areas where providers had said it was not cost-effective to install broadband infrastructure. As part of the agreement, if more than 20% of premises in those areas bought superfast broadband, BT had to repay some of the subsidy. Across Scotland the take-up rate has been 26.30%, leading to a payment of £17,843,000, the UK Department for Culture, Media and Sport said. The funding will be spent through the Broadband Delivery UK scheme. Ministers set up the programme so that by the end of 2017, 95% of UK premises would be able to buy superfast broadband - defined as 24Mbps. Such speeds enable families to stream TV on multiple devices at the same time. 'Virtually impossible' BT has faced criticism for the speed of the rollout and the quality of the broadband coverage. Former B&B owner Mandy Boswell, from Dunvegan in Skye, told the BBC's Good Morning Scotland programme that broadband coverage on the island was \"appalling\". It made running a business \"virtually impossible\", she said. \"Down to the administrative side, moving on to guests who come here, the expectations of guests are growing year on year on year,\" she added. \"If they're not complaining the roads aren't good enough or there's no public loos, then they're banging on the door at 10:30 saying the broadband's down. I can't fix any of those, no B&B provider can. They are out with our control.\" She said she believed that the investment would benefit people who already have a broadband service that Skye residents \"can only dream of\". However UK Culture Secretary Karen Bradley told the programme: \"What we're announcing today is exactly for people like Mandy - those people in those areas that don't have superfast access at the moment.\" \"In Scotland that means there are now 670,000 homes and premises that have access to faster broadband as a result of the work we've already done. And there will be even more getting access from this announcement.\" 'Sufficient coverage' The UK government and BT said it was a \"win-win\" in that more households were taking it up, triggering clawback payments that would help other premises access faster broadband speeds. \"We're delighted that the success and efficiency of our delivery will mean hundreds of thousands more homes and business could get faster broadband than originally expected,\" a BT spokesman said. The UK government has not set a timeline for when customers will benefit. The Scottish Cabinet Secretary for Rural Economy and Connectivity, Fergus Ewing, said the Scottish government was committed to delivering 100% broadband coverage for Scotland by the end of the current parliament in 2021. He added: \"The Scottish government is aware that broadband is key to many aspects of rural life and, despite inaction from the UK government which retains many of the powers in this area, we have been working for a substantial period of time to ensure sufficient coverage for every community in Scotland. \"We are already investing £410m to extend access to fibre broadband to 95% of premises in Scotland by the end of next year through our Digital Scotland Superfast Broadband programme. \"Commercial coverage alone would only have delivered 66%.\" Mr Ewing said his government would announce further measures in the new year.",

The ex-candidate said the death made him think of a friend, activist Remi Fraisse, who died after police threw a concussion grenade during protests in 2014. Col Beltrame, 44, died after being shot when a jihadist stormed a supermarket in Trèbes on Friday. He has been hailed as a national hero after trading places with one of the hostages. He will be honoured in a national memorial in Paris in the coming days. Friday's attack - which killed four people - was the worst jihadist attack under Emmanuel Macron's presidency. The maximum penalty for apology for terrorist acts is seven years in prison and a fine of €100,000 (£90,000; $120,000), according to Le Monde newspaper.

            "input": "Anthony ZurcherNorth America reporter@awzurcheron Twitter It was a spirited affair. Polls suggest the two candidates who finished near the top in Iowa - Pete Buttigieg and Bernie Sanders - are also vying for the top spot in New Hampshire. Not surprisingly, then, they were the targets of the sharpest criticism. It was Buttigieg, however, who proved to be the most attractive target. The Sanders faithful are loyal and unlikely to waver. Buttigieg has been prying supporters from Joe Biden and Elizabeth Warren and blocking Amy Klobuchar's rise as a moderate alternative. On Friday night, they fought back. \"Buttigieg is a great guy and a real patriot,\" Biden said at the top of the debate, before going for the throat. \"He's a mayor of a small city who has done some good things, but has not demonstrated he has the ability to... get a broad scope of support across the spectrum, including African-Americans and Latinos.\" Klobuchar also took a swipe at Buttigieg's relatively thin political resume, quipping that Donald Trump is also a newcomer to the White House, \"and look where that got us\". She took exception to Buttigieg's attempts to position himself as a mid-western outsider standing against Washington establishment opponents. \"It is easy to go after Washington, because that's a popular thing to do,\" she said. \"It is much harder to lead and much harder to take those difficult positions, because I think this going after every single thing that people do because it's popular to say and makes you look like a cool newcomer, I don't think that's what people want right now.\" Even ABC moderator Linsey Davis joined the fray, asking Buttigieg whether systemic racism explained why black people in South Bend when he was mayor were more likely to be arrested for drug offences. \"There is no question that systemic racism has penetrated to every level of our system,\" Buttigieg replied. \"And my city was not immune.\" When asked if his answer was sufficient, Elizabeth Warren said: \"No\". \"We have to own up to the facts,\" she continued. \"And it's important to own up to the facts of how race has permeated our criminal justice system.\" Sanders didn't emerge entirely unscathed, however. Biden challenged him to explain how he was going to pass his ambitious universal government healthcare plan, which he said would cost more than the entire current US federal budget. Buttigieg also took aim at the Vermont senator, suggesting that his liberal extremism was \"dividing people with the politics that says, if you don't go all the way to the edge, it doesn't count, a politics that says it's my way or the highway\". \"Needless to say, I never said that,\" Sanders countered, turning back to his tried and true campaign theme. \"The way you bring people together is by presenting an agenda that works for the working people of this country, not for the billionaire class.\" Debate topics included gun control, trade deals, the assassination of Iranian General Qasem Soleimani, drug legalisation, the Supreme Court, impeachment and healthcare reform. The major source of friction between the candidates, however, was who was best positioned to beat Trump in November. Electability, Democratic voters consistently tell pollsters, is their overriding concern. Here's a look at how each performed - and the biggest question their campaigns still face. Joe Biden The former vice-president perhaps had the most at stake in this debate. He was reeling after a fourth-place finish in Iowa and facing dwindling campaign funds and sinking expectations. \"I took a hit in Iowa,\" he said, \"and I'll probably take a hit here.\" If he does poorly in New Hampshire, his campaign may not recover. This was one of his sharpest debate performances, however, largely free from the sometimes-rambling responses that typified his earlier appearances. Big question: His debate showing may be enough to stanch his campaign's bleeding, but will it give him the boost he needs? Pete Buttigieg The former mayor entered the debate with a big target on his back, and his opponents took dead aim. Buttigieg is always quick on his feet, however, and he avoided the kind of debate disaster that could bring a surging campaign like his crashing back down to earth. Almost half of New Hampshire voters are registered independent, and they might find Buttigieg's big-tent, moderate pitch appealing - platitudes and all. Big question: Did Buttigieg do anything to address his seeming inability to appeal to minority voters and carry his momentum past New Hampshire? Bernie Sanders Supporters say one of Sanders' most endearing qualities is the consistency of his message. He has been railing against big corporations and the \"billionaire class\" for the better part of 30 years. Friday night's debate was another collection of his greatest hits, as he stayed relentlessly on message even when under attack. Big question: While Sanders' base loves his message, did the Vermont senator find a way to attract new devotees? Elizabeth Warren It's hard to believe that just a few months ago Elizabeth Warren was the candidate everyone in the political world was buzzing about. Even though she posted a respectable third-place finish in Iowa, she has been eclipsed by Buttigieg's rise and Sanders' durability. During Friday's debate, she mostly stuck to her regular themes - and disappeared into the background - except for one moment where she said that her anti-corruption message was the key to her electability. She might have hoped that in a nasty debate she could rise above the fray, but that wasn't how things played out. Big question: With time running out, what is Warren waiting for? Amy Klobuchar Another debate, another strong performance by the Minnesota senator. She drew sharp contrasts with Sanders and Buttigieg. When Biden insisted he was best positioned to help at-risk senators in places like Minnesota win re-election, she drew laughs with her one word response: \"Seriously?\" All that and a few million dollars might keep her in the hunt past New Hampshire. As long as Buttigieg holds up and Biden steadies himself, however, her path forward is uncertain. Big question: Were there enough independent and moderate New Hampshire voters watching a Friday night debate with an open mind to make any difference for her campaign? Tom Steyer Friday night was the feistiest the hedge-fund billionaire has been on the debate stage. He warned that Buttigieg didn't have the \"experience\" to take down Trump. He accused Biden of taking black support in South Carolina for granted. And he boasted that he was the only candidate with a plan to provide reparations to black Americans for slavery. Big question: Steyer has spent heavily in South Carolina and Nevada - states which will vote in the weeks ahead - but can he keep his place near the top of the polls once the other campaigns shift their focus past New Hampshire? Andrew Yang The tech entrepreneur was back on the debate stage after missing the cut last month, once again warning of the dangers of automation and touting his $1,000-a-month (£776) guaranteed basic income. As with past debates, he tended to be overlooked by the moderators, who spent more time attempting to instigate clashes among the front-runners. Big question: While Yang has a devoted following, will lagging poll numbers mean this is last debate of his unorthodox campaign? Who will take on Trump in 2020?",

            "input": "By Ben KingEconomics reporter, BBC News But after years stuck in this trap, Stella Sermoneta has had enough. She has decided to learn how to make pizza, a skill recognised and valued around the world. With this new skill, she hopes to find a new life overseas, perhaps in Israel or the US, where she has relatives. She has a job in Rome, working in a call centre, but she has no contract. She's employed illegally - \"on the black\". \"If you work without a contract, you can't have lots of normal things like a new house because the bank doesn't give mortgages without a contract,\" she says. \"You can't spend money on normal things because you don't know where you are going to be tomorrow.\" A black job won't give her a reference for her next step up the career ladder, and she doesn't feel she can start a family without more security. She says more than half her friends are in a similar position, and the only way out for her is to emigrate. Unpaid taxes The dire position of Italy's young in the job market was highlighted in August, when the rate of unemployment among 18 to 24-year-olds hit a record high of 40.1%. It's not clear how many young people are working informally, but Italy's black economy is known to be large. According to a study by Prof Friedrich Schneider of Johannes Kepler University of Linz in Austria, the shadow economy in Italy makes up a fifth of the country's entire GDP, higher than the EU average, and higher than Spain or Portugal. Italy's financial police, the Guardia di Finanza, are doing what they can to crack down on it. Last year they identified 30,000 illegal workers, of whom about 16,500 were employed completely on the black, with no contract whatsoever. \"Fighting undeclared work is important as it harms and undermines many interests,\" says Lt Col Cosimo Virgilio of the Guardia di Finanza. \"It hurts the state and the national budget, because it means taxes aren't paid. And our purpose is also to protect honest businesses. Those that comply with the law suffer unfair competition from other companies which are able to sell their goods and services at lower prices.\" The problem is more concentrated in Italy's poorer south, with sectors dominated by seasonal or casual work such as restaurants, hotels and other service industries like call centres or care homes. Stefano Ferraina, who runs a job centre in the south of Rome, confirms that working on the black has long been a feature of Italian working life. \"It was once a short-term, temporary bridge,\" he says, \"to fill the gap between education and a permanent job that would give the opportunity to start a family and create a future. \"Now, unfortunately, this has increasingly become the only opportunity available.\" Death threats High employment taxes are one reason why it's tempting for employers to hire on the black. For every euro an employer spends on hiring a worker, 48 cents goes on taxes and social security payments, and only 52 cents into the employee's pocket. Cut out the taxes and payments, and workers look a lot cheaper. On top of this, a raft of regulations makes it unattractive for Italian employers to give young workers proper contracts. \"Older workers are much more protected,\" says Pietro Reichlin, a professor of economics at Rome's LUISS University. \"It is much more difficult for firms to get rid of staff if they are unproductive, or to make their contracts more flexible. So it is much easier for young guys to get employed with contracts that are not officially registered.\" To solve this problem, he says, Italy could look to reduce this burden of tax and regulation. But changing the rules around employment is a slow and difficult process in Italy. In 1999 and 2002, professors working as advisers to the government were murdered by left-wing paramilitaries opposed to labour market reform. Death threats have been made to advisers of the current government. Stella understands why employers hire people on the black. \"You're not angry because you know what is behind the black market. They can't afford all the payments. They have to live too.\" But it's yet another barrier between Italy's youth and a career that allows them to fulfil their dreams.",

                "Finding a job in Italy is hard enough, but it's only part of the battle. Many, especially the young, can find work only \"on the black\" - employed in the shadow economy, without a contract or the rights that go with it."

            "input": "By Yolande KnellBBC News, Jerusalem Bedouin to the east of Jerusalem expect attempts will soon be made to move them against their will. They live in an area that is controlled by Israel's Civil Administration, part of the Defence Ministry that governs the West Bank. \"Nobody can stop them. This is their project and they will implement it no matter what,\" says Ghadara Jahalin, who squats on a rug surrounded by her grandchildren in a camp made up of tents and metal shacks. \"They will push us to somewhere where we won't be able to survive\". The small community already endures harsh conditions in the desert. They have no running water or access to the electrical grid. On the other side of the busy road leading to Jericho, Israel's largest settlement, Maale Adumim, fills the horizon. \"You can see now we are trapped between the settlements, their power cables and the road,\" Ghadara says. \"We used to have wells, now we can't reach them. We can't plant anything so there is no pasture for the goats and sheep.\" The family moved here after they were forced away from Tel Arad in the northern Negev, more than 60 years ago, soon after the creation of Israel. Now there are plans to relocate them to allow for expansion of the nearby settlement bloc. The Israeli authorities say this will also give them better access to resources and services. Recently the Civil Administration declared its intention to move some 20 Bedouin communities, a total of about 2,300 people, most of them refugees. Reports said the Bedouin would be taken to a new permanent location by al-Azariya, close to a rubbish dump. Dozens of members of the Jahalin tribe were relocated there in the 1990s due to early construction at Maale Adumim but complain of lack of access to grazing land and health problems. The local UN agency, OCHA, says such a move would contravene international humanitarian law and \"further endanger the Bedouin's way of life\". However the Civil Administration spokesman suggested the plans were not final. He said work had gone on for months \"to find a solution for the relocation dilemma of the Jahalin tribe who are illegally located without the required permit\". \"Talks are being conducted with the heads of the Jahalin tribe to find a solution that would suit them,\" he added. Demolitions and harassment The Israeli authorities ban most new construction by Bedouin in the West Bank zone they control. Since the beginning of this year there have been increased demolitions of homes. UN data shows more than a hundred Bedouin structures have been demolished. Settler harassment is also a growing problem. In Khan al-Ahmar, many homes are under demolition order, as is the primary school, set up with the help of an Italian charity two years ago. It was built out of rubber tyres covered in mud and concrete. Dozens of children attend classes there. \"All basic international laws support education. Today you must have it. It's as important as water and oxygen,\" says Eid Jahalin, the father of two pupils. \"The status of the school is like an intensive care patient: we don't know if it will make it or not,\" he goes on. \"We are facing many lawsuits.\" It is estimated that about 27,000 Bedouin living in the West Bank. They mostly live in areas that Israel declared as state land or on private land leased from Palestinians. Some have deeds showing they bought territory when Jordan was in control of the area between 1948 and 1967. Many of the nomadic communities settled there after leaving their ancestral land in the Negev desert. The Bedouin that remained became Israeli citizens but still have a tense relationship with the state. 'Unrecognised' villages In September, the Israeli cabinet approved a plan that would see over 30,000 Bedouins moved from Negev villages which it views as \"unrecognised\", to land adjacent to existing urban centres. These are villages that often predate the State of Israel, are not officially recognised and therefore denied state support or services. \"A decision must be made for the country and for the development of the Negev and its residents, Jews and Bedouin alike,\" said the prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu. Legislation is soon expected to go before parliament after a three-month consultation period. Arab advocacy groups argue this reverses the usual planning process and that Negev Bedouin will never agree to relocate two-thirds of their population in \"cramped towns\" where they cannot pursue their traditional agricultural lifestyles. They say they seek rights to land that amounts to just 2% of the Negev. \"We think the Prawer plan [named after Ehud Prawer, an Israeli official who led a team to resolve the issue of unrecognised villages] is bad for the Bedouin and Jews because it will upset Arab-Jewish relations,\" says Thabet Abu Ras of Adalah, the legal centre for Arab minority rights in Israel. He sees it is an act of discrimination against the Arab-Israeli community who he says are looked at as \"a demographic and security threat\". \"They think they can push Arabs from the border, reduce the population and make room to establish more Jewish communities,\" he says. \"Jewish citizens who live in the Naqab [Negev] are free to live in cities, a kibbutz, even their own farm. Why is this not the right of all citizens?\" Large protests have already taken place and more are planned.",

Ms Adams and Ms Jones took to the stage together for the first time to perform in a group routine. The pandemic has meant the popular dancing show has a new look this year. Each couple has formed a bubble to limit contact with other people, and in the studio celebrities and their partners performed in front of a socially distanced audience. Speaking of the show's historic pairing, Ms Jones said: \"I think the beauty of this partnership is it's never been done before on Strictly so basically we are free to do what we want, there's no real rules.\" The decision to include a same-sex couple in the competition follows a one-off routine from last year's series that saw two male professionals dance together. Last month, the BBC defended the decision to have a same-sex pairing following complaints from some viewers. The corporation said the show was \"inclusive\" and that it was \"happy to facilitate\" Ms Adams' request to dance with a woman. YouTube star HRVY, real name Harvey Leigh Cantwell, tested positive for coronavirus 10 days before the launch show was due to be filmed.

They must be regularly tested. Each Strictly celebrity will also be in an exclusive support bubble with their partner.

They say in the six years to 2011 the number of teachers in nurseries has fallen by 12%, to 1,500. Cosla, the umbrella body representing Scottish councils, said a mix of skills and qualifications was good for children. In a written statement to MSPs on the education committee, teaching unions and the Scottish Parent Teacher Council (SPTC) suggested local authorities were taking advantage of the Scottish government's loosely worded policy on nursery education. The submission stated: \"Despite a commitment by the Scottish government to 'access to a nursery teacher for every nursery age child' and considerable evidence demonstrating the long-term impact of trained teachers in pre-primary settings, many local authorities are diluting or dismantling their nursery provision.\" In recent years local authorities have started offering longer and more flexible hours in response to demand from parents who suggested the standard two and a half hours each morning or afternoon was disappointing or difficult to work around. Nursery nurses who work more flexible hours, and are on lower salaries than teachers, have been a key part of the strategy. The nurses now receive more in-depth training in education and care - up to degree level in some cases. In recognition of that they usually have new official job titles such as child development officers or early years officers. Figures published in 2009 indicated substantial numbers of nurseries have no qualified teachers on the permanent staff but almost all have some input from a teacher. The submission to Holyrood from parents' leaders and the AHDS, SSTA, SPTA, NASUWT and ATL education unions indicated children, especially those from disadvantaged backgrounds made more progress with trained teachers. Calling for a reverse in the trend of employing fewer teachers, the statement pointed to a 2007 report by HM Inspectorate of Education which concluded: \"HMIE evidence found that overall the quality of children's experiences was of a higher standard in nursery schools and nursery classes where traditionally teachers were employed. \"Teachers using their acquired knowledge of learners, learning, teaching and assessment were most able to apply this expertise to ensure effective early education practice.\" 'Second best' Cosla said it is committed to its entire children's services workforce. A spokesman added: \"We believe that a mixed workforce provides the flexibility and appropriate range of skills and experience to provide Scotland's children with the best start in life.\" Children's Minister Aileen Campbell said the Scottish government is committed to ensuring all children receive access to a pre-school teacher. She added: \"Significant progress has been made in recent years. The number of children in nursery with access to a teacher has increased from 66% to 75% in 2011 during the past three years. \" The union, Unison, which represents many early years workers rejected any suggestion that they are \"second best\". Carol Ball, chair of Unison's education issues group, said: \"Child development officers are fully-qualified, early years professionals - with equivalent qualifications and duties to nursery teachers - and deliver high quality early years education and childcare. \"The Scottish Parliament's education committee must realise that early years education is delivered by a wide range of highly-trained professionals, not just nursery teachers, and must work with all staff involved to provide children with the best start in life.\" Convener Stewart Maxwell MSP said: \"The committee held a one off-evidence session on early years last week, one of a series of meetings looking at key issues for children across Scotland. \"The committee will take evidence from the cabinet secretary for education and lifelong learning on all of these issues before the summer.\"",

The figure was below forecasts of 2.5% and is the lowest since September 2012. The Office for National Statistics said the fall was driven by the biggest drop in transport prices since July 2009. It said transport prices fell by 1.5% between September and October. One major transport cost factor came from fuel price cuts at many major supermarket chains engaged in a price war. There were also downwards price movements on some air fares. Inflation target Another inflation fall came in education costs, with the impact of rising tuition fees being smaller than at the same time a year previously. And food inflation fell too, from 4.8% to 4.3%. \"Falling petrol and diesel prices seem to have done the most to drag the inflation rate down, and the ongoing softness in Brent crude prices means there may be a little more of this to come in the months ahead,\" said economist Rob Carnell at ING. \"There was also some price softness in furniture and household items too.\" A separate measure of inflation, the retail prices index (RPI), fell from 3.2% in September to 2.6% in October. The drop in the inflation rate means the Bank of England is considerably closer to its inflation target of 2%, which it has exceeded since December 2009. However, recently announced price rises by most of the UK's large energy firms have yet to take effect and will have an inflationary impact in the coming months. The Bank will publish its latest inflation forecast on Wednesday. \"The Bank of England's forward guidance states that a hike in interest will not be considered until unemployment drops below 7%,\" said economist Chris Williamson at Markit. He said the Bank's forecast was likely to \"bring forward when the Bank expects this to happen from late 2016 to perhaps late 2015, given the recent flow of stronger than expected economic data\".",

Each year, 500,000 minor motoring offences go through the courts. Ministers say such cases clog up the courts, which should be dealing with more serious offences. Dedicated traffic courts have been piloted in Essex, Hampshire, Kent, Lincolnshire, Metropolitan Police, Nottinghamshire, Norfolk, Suffolk and West Yorkshire and police have said they had successfully \"simplified\" the legal process. The plan is to open a traffic court in every police area by April 2014, and to use specialist prosecutors to deal with up to a 160 cases a day. 'Swift justice' Cases they could hear include speeding, traffic light offences and those relating to insurance and driving licences. The new courts will only have jurisdiction in the 90% of cases where motorists admit their guilt; if they contest the offence, it will be dealt with by magistrate courts as at present. Justice Minister Damian Green said enforcing traffic laws was hugely important for road safety but the time it was taking to hear cases - especially those when drivers had accepted their guilt - was \"simply unacceptable\". \"The justice system must respond more quickly and effectively to the needs of victims, witnesses and local communities, and these dedicated courts will enable magistrates to better organise their work and drive greater efficiency,\" he said. Labour said it welcomed moves to make courts more efficient and specialised. \"It is important that we have swift justice, and I look forward to seeing results of how this works in practice,\" said the party's shadow justice spokesman Sadiq Khan. But Mr Khan said the measures amounted to \"low-hanging fruit\" and much bigger savings could be identified through a root-and-branch review of the courts and prosecution systems.",

He headlined arenas, notched up billions of streams and worked with some of the biggest names in music, but suffered health problems and struggled with life on the road. From the Swedish school of pop Born Tim Bergling in Stockholm in 1989, his mother is the actress Anki Liden, who starred in Lasse Hallstrom's Oscar-nominated film My Life as a Dog. He once said he was shaped by the Swedish pop sensibility. \"We grow up singing great folk songs, so the sense of melody is good, and you grow up with that in you. I think it moulds everybody. \"But I also grew up knowing people like Eric Prydz and Swedish House Mafia were in the same neighbourhood.\" It all went Pete Tong... in a good way Fellow DJ Pete Tong spotted Avicii when he entered a talent competition a decade ago. The Swede won by a landslide and Tong released the entry - titled Manman - on his own label. \"Clearly he had a very strong talent for constructing a melody and showed great maturity in the way he put a track together,\" Tong told the Evening Standard in 2014. \"A natural. My only regret is that I didn't sign him on a longer deal.\" Reaching new Levels After making his name with a string of singles, Avicii's popularity exploded with the song Levels in 2011. The song combines a pulsating, euphoric hook with a sample of Etta James' Something's Got a Hold on Me, and reached platinum status in at least 10 countries. That success snowballed with dancefloor anthems like I Could Be The One with Nicky Romero and the country-tinged Wake Me Up, featuring the vocals of Aloe Blacc - both UK number one singles in 2013. Avicii had a range of influences he could reach for, but his biggest hits had the same elements - insistent, escapist house production; guest vocals to lend accessibility and depth; and, above all, irresistible melodies. When it was suggested that he didn't make \"real music\", he told the Standard: \"You are drawing the melodies, drawing the chord progressions. You are making music. Mozart wrote everything down on a piece of paper. DJs write on computers. I really don't see any difference.\" A superstar among DJs The hits kept coming - in the form of songs like Hey Brother, You Make Me, The Nights and Waiting For Love. As Billboard magazine wrote: \"Even when he's being cheesy, it's the kind of cheese you wanna cover your fries in and just give yourself heartburn shoving down your own throat.\" Avicii headlined festivals and became the first EDM DJ to pull off a worldwide arena tour, earning $19m in 2015, according to Forbes. Big-name collaborations saw him work with Coldplay, Rita Ora, Sia, Lenny Kravitz, Leona Lewis and Robbie Williams. Last year, he was reported to have been working with disco legend Nile Rodgers on Chic's comeback album. And high-profile gigs included the 2014 World Cup closing ceremony and the wedding of Sweden's Prince Carl Philip. Gigging for good causes In 2012, the DJ embarked on a 27-date US House for Hunger tour, pledging $1m for the hunger relief charity Feeding America. \"I discovered when I started making money that I didn't really need it,\" he once said. \"When you have such an excess of money you don't need, the most sensible, most human and completely obvious thing is to give to people in need.\" He also supported other causes. In 2015, he tackled the issues of human trafficking and gang violence when he directed the videos for his tracks For a Better Day and Pure Grinding. \"All the songs have a story I wanted to tell,\" Avicii said. Heavy drinking and health setbacks Avicii's health problems began in January 2012, when he spent 11 days in hospital with acute pancreatitis, reportedly caused by heavy drinking. \"Drinking became routine for me, but it's impossible to keep up touring and drinking at the same time, because you are going to crash,\" he told the Standard. \"Especially when you are playing 320 shows a year.' He went back into hospital in 2013 and was advised to have his gallbladder removed. He declined and continued touring, but was forced to have the surgery in 2014. Doctors discovered his appendix had ruptured, and removed that at the same time. \"I took a month off, but it wasn't really a month off,\" he told Billboard. \"I was in the studio 12 hours a day, and then went right back to touring. It's hard to say no in this industry. You want to play everything and be everywhere.\" Touring takes its toll Despite his health problems, the announcement in 2016 that he was retiring from touring still came as a shock. \"To me it was something I had to do for my health,\" he told the Hollywood Reporter. \"The scene was not for me. It was not the shows and not the music. It was always the other stuff surrounding it that never came naturally to me. \"I'm more of an introverted person in general. It was always very hard for me. I took on board too much negative energy, I think.\" After the announcement, he said he had got his \"private life back\" and was \"focusing on myself for the first time in a long time\". \"This was obviously the hardest decision of my life so far,\" he said. \"But so far it has paid off tremendously in terms of well-being for me. I'm happier than I have been in a very very long time.\" His final gig was in Ibiza in August 2016, and he released a comeback EP in August 2017.

But, the Department for Transport (DfT) said safeguarding it was essential. \"Stonehenge is one of Britain's greatest treasures and it is important to note that English Heritage and National Trust support our plans,\" said a DfT spokesman. \"It is essential that we ensure this site of cultural and historical significance is safeguarded as we progress with the upgrade. \"As with any road scheme, we will consult with interested parties before any building begins on the A303.\" 'Destructive effect' A similar scheme for the route, which links London and the South West, was dropped several years ago because of the cost. However, there are growing concerns over congestion on the A303 which has been described as \"highly detrimental\" by English Heritage, which manages the monument. But Stonehenge Alliance campaigners want \"no further damage\" to the world heritage site, which totals around 25 sq km (9.6 sq m) of chalkland, according to UNESCO.

MPs will debate proposals to introduce regional public sector pay on Tuesday. The UK government says it wants to create a more balanced economy, but critics say Wales would lose out. New figures from the IFS, reported for the first time by BBC Wales, show how much more workers can expect to earn in the public sector in Wales. The think tank estimates that similarly qualified women - those of the same age with the same level of education and qualifications - earn 18.5% more than those in the private sector. The UK average for women is 10.2%. The figure for men was 18%, compared to 4.6% across the rest of the UK. Plaid Cymru MP Jonathan Edwards said it showed how much Wales could lose if public sector wages were cut. \"We are talking about huge amounts of money leaving the pockets of ordinary working people,\" said Mr Edwards, who has tabled a Westminster Hall debate on regional pay. Martin Mansfield, general secretary of the Wales TUC union, said it was the \"wrong idea at the wrong time\". He added: \"The whole purpose of regionalising pay is to decrease pay in the public sector. \"That would have a massive impact, particularly in high-unemployment, low-wage areas like the north east of England and particularly Wales.\" Mr Mansfield said the \"biggest difference for Wales is our employment mix isn't as good as it should be. \"We don't have as many of the high-skilled, high-paid jobs in the private sector. We don't have enough jobs in general in the private sector.\" In last year's autumn statement, chancellor George Osborne said independent pay review bodies would report in the summer on whether the public sector can be \"made more responsive to local labour markets\". He said the move was \"a significant step towards creating a more balanced economy in the regions of our country that does not squeeze out the private sector\". Ministers say the idea is not new and had been proposed by the previous Labour government. 'Higher salaries' Liberal Democrat MP Roger Williams said service sector employers in his Brecon and Radnorshire constituency have told him they cannot compete with salaries offered by the local council. \"Reducing wage rates will just reduce the demand in the economy and I don't think that's particularly good at the moment,\" he added Solicitor Victoria Cannon said she had encountered difficulties when trying to recruit a legal assistant for her firm's Brecon office. \"We find that the public sector are able to offer higher salaries, whereas in the private sector we are not able to do this,\" she said. \"Additionally of course in the public sector you have benefits such as pensions and flexible working. We are not able to offer that as a small firm.\" Lib Dems and Conservatives in Wales have expressed caution about the prospect of their parties' coalition government in Westminster ending UK-wide pay settlements. The Conservatives' assembly leader Andrew RT Davies welcomed the review, but warned about creating \"disparity in parts of the United Kingdom\". \"We need to make sure that we are feeding in on an informed way so that Wales isn't penalised,\" he said.

The 31-year-old, who regularly attends Sandringham on Christmas Day, said: \"He has been through the wars a little bit the last few years but he has been like a tank and got through it, he was quite a strong character.\" He added: \"It's sad for the Queen, he was almost 100 years old and that would've been a major anniversary to mark, but 99 is still incredible, especially with the life he has had. He worked his whole life. That's dedication.\" Lord Lieutenant of Norfolk Lady Philippa Dannatt described the duke as \"quite genuinely the most wonderful person\". She said: \"He had a great sense of humour, a wonderfully dry side to him but was also immensely compassionate.\" The Bishop of Norwich, the Right Reverend Graham Usher, said the duke was a \"remarkable man\". He said: \"He absolutely loved Norfolk and over the last few years spent a lot of time living here quietly, and we can see his legacy in the planting of trees, how the estate has been managed and also in how people have taken him, the Queen and other members of the Royal Family to their hearts.\" Norfolk County Council chairman Keith Kiddie described it as a \"sad day\" and said the duke \"served our country with great distinction throughout his life and graced many events in Norfolk\". Chief Constable Simon Bailey of Norfolk Police added: \"With Sandringham being a much-loved country retreat for the Royal Family, our county has a close bond with royal tradition. \"Today, we join with people around the world mourning his loss.\" Find BBC News: East of England on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.

The Welsh government is funding vaccinations in parts of south west and mid Wales and last year it cost £1m. But this would be too expensive on a Wales-wide level. Under the plans farmers and other landowners, such as the National Trust, would foot the bill for vaccinating badgers on their land and then apply to the Welsh government for a grant to help cover the costs. The Welsh government's grant is worth £250,000 a year over the next five years. This is in addition to the money already committed to the badger vaccination programme, which last year cost £945,000. It is estimated it costs more than £600 to vaccinate each badger. Dr Glossop announced the move at the Royal Welsh Show in Llanelwedd, Powys, during a meeting with wildlife charities and the National Trust. Queen guitarist She said the Welsh government was looking to share the cost so they could deliver a badger vaccination programme across Wales. Queen guitarist Brian May has been a vocal opponent of badger culling and a representative of his charity Save Me was among wildlife and landowning organisations who met Dr Glossop. Save Me's Ann Brummer later said May backed the initiative, saying it was a Welsh initiative which could followed throughout the UK, doing away with the need for a cull. \"Brian is very keen to support this and sees it as a way forward,\" she said. \"We don't want to see cattle continued to be culled and this could be a solution.\" Talks are to be held with farmers to get their reaction. NFU Cymru deputy president Stephen James said: \"We as a union have never been against a cull but when it's over £600 per badger to vaccinate them it's unaffordable to the average farmer. \"If they can reduce the cost and we're confident that it works then there will be a lot of farmers who will support it.\" Dr Glossop said Natural Resources Minister Alun Davies had asked her team to look at ways of expanding the vaccination programme across Wales. \"The minister asked us to look at other ways in which badger vaccination might be delivered here in Wales,\" she said. \"A couple of weeks ago, the minister agreed to making available a fund to set up a grant which would help support badger vaccination in other parts of Wales. \"The fund currently stands at £250,000 a year and now we've got the OK from the minister we've now got the job of developing a grant. \"As an initial step we invited wildlife groups here today to start developing our thinking.\" The second year of the five-year badger vaccination project started in parts of south west and mid Wales in May. More than 1,400 badgers were vaccinated in trials ending last November. These took place in parts of Pembrokeshire, Carmarthenshire and Ceredigion.",

            "input": "By Robbie MeredithBBC News NI Education Correspondent That is according to a survey on post-primary transfer carried out by MLAs on Stormont's Education Committee. There were more than 8,500 responses to the survey, including 6,150 parents and 1,858 teachers. Respondents were self-selecting, so the findings may not be representative. The transfer tests are used by almost all grammar schools to select pupils. However, a number have said they will not use them to admit pupils for 2021 due to disruption caused by the coronavirus pandemic. The tests have also been moved back from their usual dates in November until January 2021. The committee commissioned the NI Assembly's Engagement, Communications and Education Service to develop a survey to collect views on the subject of post-primary transfer tests. MLAs from the five main assembly parties sit on the committee. The survey - which took the form of a questionnaire - was carried out from 20 July to 7 September and the results have just been published. A separate young people's survey was also carried out during that period to which 753 children responded - three-quarters of whom were in primary seven. Over half of the children who responded (55%) said they were not concerned or only slightly concerned about taking the transfer tests during the Covid-19 lockdown period. However, almost a third (31%) said they were very or extremely concerned about taking the tests. Of over 6,000 parents who responded to the survey, 85% said that they were intending to enter their children for the transfer tests. However, almost two-thirds (63.9%) said they were very or extremely concerned that children had not had enough time to prepare for the tests. Only one in eight (12.5%) said they were \"not concerned at all\". 'Disadvantaged' When questioned about what they would prefer to happen about transfer in 2020/21, the most popular option chosen by parents was for post-primary schools to use non-academic admissions criteria instead for a year. Parents felt that in the absence of tests, pupils should go to their nearest suitable school or a school where a sibling already attended. However, a slightly higher proportion of parents wanted the tests to go ahead in November 2020 rather than be delayed until January 2021. Of the 1,858 teachers who completed the survey, almost two-thirds (63.6%) said they were very or extremely concerned about children taking the transfer tests following the lockdown period. Over half said they were concerned that children would be disadvantaged and over six in ten said they felt children had lost too much preparation time due to lockdown. Around half (49.1%) were \"extremely concerned\" that there would be further disruption to schools due to a second wave of Covid-19. The chair of the Stormont Education Committee, Alliance MLA Chris Lyttle, called the response to the survey \"unprecedented\". \"The committee will bring a motion to the assembly after Halloween in order to discuss and debate the overall findings of the survey,\" he said. \"We will also be calling on the minister to bring forward contingency plans for post-primary transfer arrangements.\"",

Mr Brown was transferred to a unit in the city and then moved to a hospital where he died four days later. The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) is conducting an investigation while a separate inquiry is being carried out by Birmingham and Solihull Mental Health Trust. Mr Brown's 28-year-old sister, Kadesha Burrell Brown, who organised a march to West Midlands Police headquarters in July in memory of her brother, told BBC News the family had \"no answers and no closure\". Because of the IPCC investigation, Mr Brown's body has not been released by the coroner so no inquest can be held and the family do not yet know his exact cause of death. Ms Burrell Brown said the family go to the coroner's office in Birmingham once a month to be updated on the case. She said: \"We are being kept in the picture but the way it is unfolding is that until the IPCC investigation is completed and they decide on whether to bring any criminal charges or not, we have no answers ourselves. \"They [the IPCC] told us it could take about six to nine months and we are in the seventh month now - it's been going on for so long and this kind of thing can take years. \"We want to know what happened so we can put the pieces of the puzzle together.\" After Mr Brown's death, West Midlands Police said the force was to be investigated by the IPCC \"following the death of a 29-year-old man who had had dealings with the police\". Officers attended an incident in the Winson Green area of Birmingham on Sunday 27 March and detained Mr Brown under the Mental Health Act. \"Three days later, officers were called to support medical staff at a mental health unit in the same area of the city following reports of a disturbance involving the same man,\" a spokesman said. \"From there, the man was transferred to hospital but died the following day.\" The force said it supported the IPCC investigation and did not \"underestimate the impact this incident has had\" on relatives and the community. Ms Burrell Brown, a Birmingham University student, said her brother's two children, aged five and nine, had received counselling since his death. She said she remembered her brother's \"outstanding personality\". \"I remember him as a quiet, collective person. He was never in a hurry, even the way he walked was slow. \"He had an outstanding personality once you got to know him. \"To hear about him being detained under the Mental Health Act was completely shocking. \"There is no history of it in the family, we were really surprised by that.\" 'Waiting game' On 2 July she organised a march from Hockley to the force's headquarters at Lloyd House in the city centre. She said the family has now been told one autopsy report has been completed but they are waiting for another to be completed. \"We accept if the IPCC bring charges then the inquest will be on hold,\" she said. \"It's just a waiting game - we're waiting to find out the timeline around his death. Until then, we have no closure.\" A spokesman for the IPCC said: \"To date around 100 witness statements have been obtained from medical professionals, ambulance staff and members of the public, and the vast majority of witnesses have already been interviewed by IPCC investigators. \"We have interviewed ten police officers relevant to the investigation who had some contact with Mr Burrell. \"Footage from CCTV cameras at four locations has been recovered and reviewed, and hundreds of documents have been seized as part of the independent investigation.\"",

Now councillors have voted by 11 to three to support the plans after developers gave assurances on detailed conditions that would be met. A meeting in Ipswich was told there were local concerns but the plans were a chance for major \"growth\" in Suffolk. DP9, representing the UK developers behind the project, said approval would \"unlock funding\" of £500m that was in place, with 3,500 jobs created during construction and a further 1,900 when operational. Highest structure SnOasis was valued at £300m when it was first put before councillors in 2004, before later being approved by the Secretary of State. The plans include an indoor snow facility, featuring ski slopes, a bobsleigh run and an ice wall. A hotel, apartments, a bowling alley, nightclub, casino, cinema, climbing and food court would also feature. The professional-standard ski run would stand 74m (242ft) tall and would be the highest structure in Suffolk. Final details of the project, known as reserved matters, were approved by Mid Suffolk District Council at a meeting on Wednesday. Issues around the complex, parking, ecology and structural landscape were discussed. The 123-hectare (304-acre) complex could open by the end of 2023, with work starting on addressing environmental issues within 12 months, the meeting heard. Great crested newts would need to be moved to ponds created as part of the plan's environmental mitigation. Chief planning officer Vincent Pearce said \"It is phenomenal in terms of a centre of excellence in winter sports.\" Objectors have highlighted issues around sustainability, traffic and environmental impact. Committee chairman Matthew Hicks said there were some valid concerns but added: \"I 100% agree around the opportunity, the growth prospects that this project brings to Suffolk.\" Suffolk-born Lenny Paul, who represented Great Britain at four Winter Olympics, told councillors the facilities would be world class and would attract international competitors. \"This opportunity is one I don't think should pass us,\" said Mr Paul. Steve Plume, chairman of the SnOasis Parish Alliance group, said: \"We're not against it, we just want to make sure it's done properly.\" Three Green Party councillors voted against the plans. Sarah Mansel, of the Green Party, said she \"remained unconvinced\" the centre could meet its requirement to use renewable sources to provide 75% of its energy consumption.",

Ministers say the current presumption against sentences of three months or less has helped achieve a 19-year low in re-conviction rates. That is despite research published earlier this month suggesting the change has had little effect. In its report, Crest Advisory acknowledged that the presumption against short custodial sentences had coincided with a number of positive trends in Scotland since its introduction in February 2011. These included a reduction in reconviction rates from 29.6% to 27.0% between the 2011-12 and 2015-16 and a reduction in the number of short custodial sentences - down 31% within the period of 2011-12 and 2017-18 However, the consultants said the trends were \"largely consistent\" with the previous years - before the presumption against short sentences was introduced. 'Not a ban' The Scottish government has said short jail terms are ineffective and can result in offenders losing their homes or jobs and lead to family breakdown, which in-turn raises the risk of reoffending. Figures show people released from a custodial sentence of 12 months or less are reconvicted nearly twice as often as those handed community payback orders by a court. Community Safety Minister Ash Denham said: \"We have made clear that the presumption is not a ban and its extension will not abolish short prison sentences. \"Clearly prison remains the right option for those who pose a serious risk to public safety and sentencing decisions will remain a matter for the independent judiciary. \"However, we want to ensure courts consider the most appropriate sentence in all cases and imprison people only when there is no suitable alternative.\" The government said it was spending an additional £9.5m a year on community sentences and tagging and hoped the new policy would be in place in the summer.",

The charity Mencap said the government had \"failed to protect\" a group already experiencing health inequalities. Social Care Minister Helen Whately has announced a review of the findings. The study, which looked at deaths between 21 March and 5 June, found that 451 per 100,000 people registered with a learning disability had died with Covid-19 during that period. Due to gaps in the data, the researchers estimated that it could be as high as 692 per 100,000 - 6.3 times higher than the general population. The report suggests the huge disparity could be because people with learning disabilities are more prone to obesity and diabetes, which can increase the risk of dying from Covid-19. 'My brother was disregarded' Adam Brown from Surrey was one of those young people with learning disabilities who died from Covid-19. The 30-year-old, who lived in residential care, fell ill at the beginning of March. Despite displaying the symptoms of Covid-19, he wasn't tested until he was admitted to hospital. He died on 29 April. Commenting on the report's findings, his sister Naomi Brown said: \"Hearing and reading reports like this doesn't surprise me, it saddens me but it's not surprising. \"People like Adam, people who don't have their own voices to speak for themselves are just left, kept in the dark, disregarded. \"There's only us, the families, to speak and stand up for people like my brother.\" Prof John Newton, PHE's director of health improvement, said \"action must be taken to prevent this happening again\". He said: \"It is deeply troubling that one of the most vulnerable groups in our society suffered so much during the first wave of the pandemic. \"But with cases developing across the country, it is essential to practice rigorous infection control if you are in contact with someone with a learning disability, whether or not they live in a care home.\" A third of those who died with a learning disability during the first wave were living in residential care, which has led to criticism about infection control and lack of access to testing. Dan Scorer, head of policy at the learning disability charity Mencap, said: \"The government has failed to protect a group who already experienced serious health inequalities. \"Decades of under-investment in social care has left most people with a learning disability with no support to understand ever-changing guidance on staying safe and accessing testing.\" Access to testing The report highlighted that certain kinds of learning disability, such as Down's Syndrome can make people more vulnerable to respiratory infections. Adults with the condition have recently been added to the government's \"clinically extremely vulnerable\" list. Almost half of those with Down Syndrome who died from Covid-19 were living in a care home. The Down's Syndrome Association said priority must be given \"to measures to prevent the spread of Covid-19 in these settings, including regular testing of care staff\". Responding to the report, Ms Whately said the government's scientific advisory group, Sage, would be asked to review the findings. \"There is now regular testing of staff and residents in care homes, and testing has also been rolled out to supported living settings in high risk areas,\" she added.",

But the prosecution cost was \"not less\" than £1,465,000, it has now been found. The figures were released following a Freedom of Information (FOI) request by the Press Association. 'Beg, borrow, steal' A spokeswoman for the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) said there was a \"strong public interest\" in bringing the case to act as a deterrent, warn the public and achieve justice for victims. \"Investigating and prosecuting complex economic cases of this kind are invariably costly, often taking a significant time to investigate fully and resulting in lengthy trials,\" she said. \"The costs associated with this particular case are in no way unusual or unexpected for a case of this kind.\" During trials in 2012 and 2014, Bristol Crown Court heard the group had encouraged people to \"beg, borrow or steal\" £3,000 to put into the scheme, which promised more than £20,000, as more members joined.

Up until now, only women with underlying health conditions or those whose risk of exposure to the virus was high were eligible. The shift in advice brings the UK into line with other countries. The Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation now advises that pregnant women should all be offered the Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna vaccines where available, at the same time as the rest of the population. They are encouraged to discuss the risks and benefits of the vaccines with their doctor before making the appointment, but it is not a requirement. \"There is no evidence to suggest that other vaccines are unsafe for pregnant women, but more research is needed,\" it added. Currently, there is a lack of data on the AstraZeneca vaccine in pregnancy because pregnant women were not included in trials, but the JCVI says more evidence may be forthcoming in the near future. The JCVI has already said that, as a precaution, adults under 30 should be offered an alternative to the AstraZeneca jab because of evidence possibly linking it to extremely rare blood clots in adults. Professor Wei Shen Lim, Covid-19 chair for the JCVI, said: \"We encourage pregnant women to discuss the risks and benefits with their clinician - those at increased risk of severe outcomes from Covid-19 are encouraged to promptly take up the offer of vaccination when offered.\" Dr Edward Morris, president of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, said: \"Vaccination offers pregnant women the best protection from Covid-19, which can be serious in some women. \"We believe it should be a woman's choice whether to have the vaccine or not after considering the benefits and risks, and would encourage pregnant women to discuss with a trusted source like their GP, obstetrician or midwife, or a healthcare professional in a vaccination centre.\" Dr Mary Ross-Davie, from the Royal College of Midwives, said the new advice was \"a sensible step\" by the vaccines committee. She said midwives and obstetricians \"will be there to support pregnant women to make an informed decision that is right for them\". Complications risk Women can be vaccinated at any time during their pregnancy although they may prefer to wait until after the first trimester or the first scan, the RCOG said. Although pregnant women are at no greater risk of being infected by the virus, they are more likely to have complications from Covid-19. Data shows that one in five pregnant women who become unwell with Covid needs to have her baby delivered early. As the UK's vaccination programme is now inviting people in their 40s, clarity on advice for pregnant women on the vaccine was needed. More than 32 million people in the UK have received a first dose of a Covid vaccine. Women who are planning pregnancy or are breastfeeding can be vaccinated with any vaccine, depending on their age and clinical risk group, the JCVI said. It said it would closely monitor the evidence on Covid-19 vaccination in pregnancy and update its advice as required. Are you pregnant? How do you feel about this news? Email: haveyoursay@bbc.co.uk.

            "input": "The Duchess, who was the last of the fabled Mitford sisters and lived at Chatsworth House in Derbyshire, died aged 94 in 2014. Elvis memorabilia, a rare signed copy of Brideshead Revisited and a Channel Tunnel machine blade were some of the items that went under the hammer. Historian Maxwell Craven said the lot reflected her \"terrific\" personality. As well as jewellery and furniture, the Duchess' passion for art and literature shines through. Portraits of her at different stages of her life feature along with correspondence from artists and writers such as Lucien Freud, Evelyn Waugh and, more recently, Madonna. Mr Craven, who knew the Duchess, said she had an affinity with creative people, which was rare for someone from the upper classes in post-war Britain. He said: \"She understood what artists were trying to say...and had these wonderful people from all backgrounds come to stay [at Chatsworth].\" Other highlights of the collection included a photograph of the Queen when she famously sat for Lucien Freud and a signed pre-publication copy of Brideshead Revisited - which sold for £52,500. The Duchess also had a passion for popular culture, reflected in her collection of Elvis Presley memorabilia. \"She was very keen on Elvis,\" said Mr Craven. \"She was the right age in the 1950s, she loved the music.\" Perhaps the most baffling item is an iron and steel tooth blade from the borer machine that broke through the final section of the Channel Tunnel. It gets a name check in her 2011 book Wait For Me, where the Duchess wrote about an expedition under the sea where she met French tunnellers. She said: \"The machines were like something out of a giant's toy box and I still have - given to me as a memento of the day - one of the claws that played its part in opening up this underground highway to the Continent'.\" The claw sold for £1,875. The most expensive items sold were a diamond and ruby brooch gifted to the Duchess and a Japanese gilt-decorated lacquer guardian figure, which went for £62,500 each. The auction took place at Sotheby's in London on Wednesday.",

The violence erupted on Tuesday in Bachu county, Kashgar prefecture. China said it was a planned attack by a \"violent terrorist group\", but an activist group questioned this. \"We urge the Chinese authorities to conduct a thorough and transparent investigation of this incident,\" Mr Ventrell said. He asked China to provide Uighurs with all the protections \"to which they are entitled not only under Chinese constitutional laws but the international human rights commitments as well\". He also called on China to safeguard religious rights. Xinjiang officials say the clashes erupted after what they described as community workers searched homes for weapons. Fifteens police and officials were killed, and six suspects. Another eight people were arrested. But a spokesperson for the World Uighur Congress, an umbrella organisation of Uighur groups, said the incident was caused by the killing of a young Uighur by Chinese \"armed personnel\" as a result of a government clean-up campaign. The incident come amid rumbling ethnic tensions between the Muslim Uighur and Han Chinese communities. Uighurs make up about 45% of the region's population, but say an influx of Han Chinese residents has marginalised their traditional culture. In 2009 almost 200 people - mostly Han Chinese - were killed after deadly rioting erupted. Beijing authorities often blame violent incidents in Xinjiang on Uighur extremists seeking autonomy for the region. Uighur activists, meanwhile, accuse Beijing of over-exaggerating the threat to justify heavy-handed rule. Verifying reports from Xinjiang is difficult, correspondents say. Foreign journalists are allowed to travel to the region but frequently face intimidation and harassment when attempting to verify news of ethnic rioting or organised violence against government authorities. An editorial in state-run China Daily on Thursday stated that there had to be \"decisive moves to wipe out terrorist cells in the country\". It added that the Xinjiang incident \"is another bloody reminder that terrorist threats remain a clear and present danger in the country's northwestern region\".",

I am an openly gay male singer, in a band called Years & Years, we make pop music. \"We're not the only queer-frontman-led acts nor am I the only openly gay male singer but all that being said there aren't that many of us and at times I've felt real pressure to hide or to limit my sexuality.\" He adds: \"Gay people have sex, and it's not just gay people, it's all kinds of people. \"All these non-straight people, they're out there, having sex. Sex, between two consenting adults, can be a healthy, positive, safe and enjoyable thing. \"I like having sex, being able to assert myself and talk about my sexuality is an empowering thing for me.

A statement on LDT's website earlier said it would run a land-only service. A rescuer said one passenger told her they had found it \"difficult\" to get the life jackets out of their packets. Three people were taken to hospital \"as a precaution\" following the fire. In a statement on the London Duck Tours website, managing director John Bigos said: \"The company acknowledges the distressing situation experienced by our passengers. \"However, we are pleased to report that all persons involved in the incident are safe and well. \"Until the cause is established, the company will not be operating on the river and should technical or safety modifications be required to our fleet, these will be introduced prior to the service recommencing.\" Mr Bigos said the incident should not be compared with the sinking of two amphibious vehicles, operated by another company in Liverpool's Albert Dock in June, as his company's procedures were of a \"higher standard\". \"London Duck Tours operates a fully-modernised fleet of nine vehicles that have been completely rebuilt and refurbished between 2002 and 2012. \"This includes new, purpose-built hulls, new engines, computerised systems and steering equipment,\" he added. 'Fear and terror' In 2008 another London Duck Tours craft, Mistress Quickly, caught fire. A mechanical breakdown led to an electrical fire in the engine. The nine passengers were evacuated to a fire launch. The Chief Inspector of Marine Accidents' recommendations included making sure fire extinguishers were checked regularly and instructions were placed next to them. A spokesman for the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA), which looks after the implementation of the maritime safety policy in the UK, said: \"We are investigating the incident to determine the cause of the fire and what, if any, appropriate further action needs to be taken. \"We have also taken formal action to ensure that the company's other DUKW vessels don't operate while the investigation takes place.\" The Marine Accident Investigation Branch (MAIB) and London Fire Brigade have also begun their own investigations into the incident. A Department for Transport spokeswoman said: \"We are of course speaking to the MCA and MAIB and it would not be appropriate to comment further until we have a better understanding of the causes of this incident.\" A spokeswoman for the Marine Accident Investigation Branch said: \"The MAIB is aware of the incident and is investigating. \"This is a live investigation and it would not be appropriate to give a running commentary.\" Emily Farrelly, who was on a passing tourist boat with her family on Sunday, said she saw \"billowing smoke\" and passengers in the water. \"You could see the fear and terror in their eyes,\" she said. \"It was lucky the craft was close to the bank and many of the passengers were able to stand in waist-high water \"I think they were just in sheer panic at first and struggled to get [the life jackets] out. \"I spoke to one gentleman that got on to our boat and he said that getting the life jackets out of the packet was so difficult that they just fled the boat and got off because their safety was more important.\" London Duck tours is yet to respond to the claims about life jackets.",

The judicial review was brought by Hillingdon, Richmond, Wandsworth and Windsor and Maidenhead councils and Greenpeace UK. They argued the government failed to consult local communities or recognise the project's unlawful impact on air quality. But lawyers for the Transport Secretary argued the judicial review should not be heard until after the consultation on the government's National Policy Statement (NPS) on aviation - due later this year - had occurred. The campaigners argued the government had already made its decision. The case was struck out by Mr Justice Cranston on the basis the court had no jurisdiction to hear the claim. The judge said his decision followed from the language of the relevant section of the Planning Act 2008. \"Once the Secretary of State adopts and publishes an NPS the court will have jurisdiction to entertain the challenges the claimants advance. For the present this claim must be struck out,\" he said. Ray Puddifoot, leader of Hillingdon Council, said the ruling was just the first step in what would be \"a losing battle for the government\" and that the ministers could not get around \"the problem of unlawful air quality impacts\".

They have been caught up in several high-profile controversies in recent years, including the death of a student at Penn State University last year following a drinking game.

Meanwhile, questions which begin \"how to...\" are increasingly appearing in search engine trends. At the same time, online shoppers are in the market for garden plants, lawn mowers, free weights and hair dye. \"There are lots of 'how to' questions,\" said Nalina Eggert, an SEO expert at the BBC. \"How to make hand sanitiser, face masks and bread, how to cut your hair.\" Nalina has seen a notable rise in questions about grammar, punctuation, fractions, human biology and history since the closure of UK schools - as well as specific medical queries surrounding Covid-19, such as whether the virus can be caught twice, and whether it affects pets. Then there are questions about furlough, the R number and medical queries specific to Covid-19 symptoms and prognosis. \"There's also a much higher-than-usual search for sympathy cards,\" Nalina added. \"It's the highest it's ever been. People are looking to buy them, but the most related search is what to write in them. You imagine it may be people who have never had to send one before. My heart goes out to them.\" And on a lighter note, there's one question which pops up on Nalina's charts every week. \"'What time can you buy alcohol in Scotland?' is a regular Friday search. We all need to mark the weekend somehow.\" (It's between 10am and 10pm - you're welcome). Free weights and loo rolls Redbrain is an e-commerce platform. The firm has access to the data of millions of shopping searches and how they translate into sales. The UK's top shopping searches during the months of March and April included free weights, lawn mowers, plants, seeds and hair dye. In March, Redbrain recorded more than 2.1m searches for free weights, up nearly 4,000% from February's activity. There were over a million more again in April. There were also one or two noticeable short-lived trends: in March by far the most sought-after item was toilet roll with nearly five million searches... and in April there were 2.1 million searches for women's lingerie. \"It's easy to think the world has stopped and life is put on hold but our data tells a different story,\" said Redbrain's chief growth officer Alistair Campbell. \"We are all going through similar experiences and buying lots of the same things, at the same times. \"Is the nation settling down into the new 'normal'? It's hard to tell at the moment but the insights into purchasing and volumes certainly show that online retail is evolving and healthy.\" Rocketing growth The rocketing of internet use during lockdown has been \"incredible\" to observe, said John Graham-Cumming, chief technology officer of website security company Cloudflare. \"There's a natural growth that you would expect to see over time - as internet connections into people's homes improve, people do more stuff online. \"But in 2020 we saw one year of growth in three months.\" But not everyone is using the net to find out how to fix their hair - Cloudflare has noticed that part of that \"growth\" has been an increase in low-level cyber-crime. This is commonly in the form of small-scale distributed denial-of-service (DDOS) attacks - when a website is flooded with internet traffic to try to knock it offline. \"It's vandalism-type stuff,\" said Mr Graham-Cumming. \"It's often done by students - we typically see an increase in these attacks during university vacation time.\"",

The coverage of the launch has been euphoric, and often colourful, with websites comparing the rocket to the weight of 200 elephants, or five jumbo jets. '200 elephants' Such comparisons highlight the importance of the launch for the country, which is aggressively competing to get a bigger share of the global commercial satellite launch market.

The GSLV Mark III can carry put a payload weighing more than three tonnes into the high altitude orbit occupied by the spacecraft that relay TV, telephone calls and broadband connections. But it's far from being the world's heaviest rocket because Nasa's Saturn V, which was used between 1967 and 1973, still holds that record, with total mass at lift-off about four times that of India's GSLV Mark III. 'Jumbo jets' The NDTV website says the rocket is as heavy as five Jumbo jets. And the weight matters because communication satellites are quite heavy. Experts say the rocket gives India more flexibility in launching different kinds of satellites. \"We were able to send [satellites weighing] up to two tonnes previously. This is a double quantum jump for India,\" Ajay Lele from the Institute for Defence Studies and Analyses told the AFP news agency. 'The monster' Isro hopes that the rocket, called the \"monster\" by one newspaper, will be able to carry an astronaut to space by 2024. India wants to become the fourth country after the US, China and Russia to send a person into space. Experts say the successful launch will give impetus to India's indigenous space programme. The launch follows Isro's other recent achievements, including a mission to Mars, and the launch of more than 100 satellites in a single mission earlier in the year. Taller than Statue of Liberty In the spirit of finding fun facts, the BBC also did some research on the height of the rocket and found that it's taller than the Statue of Liberty. The rocket is 43m (141ft) tall, while the statue stands at 33.83m, minus the pedestal foundation. Cartoons by the BBC's Kirtish Bhat",

The developer wants to dispose of 300,000 tonnes of mud across the Bristol Channel in the Cardiff Grounds, a little over a mile out to sea from Cardiff Bay. But campaigners claimed the mud could be contaminated with nuclear waste from the old Hinkley nuclear stations. They have also alleged that testing of samples has been inadequate and there is insufficient evidence about how sea currents will move the sediment after it has been dumped. John Wheadon, NRW permitting services manager, said: \"We make sure activities like these do not harm marine environments, which are home to valuable wildlife and habitats and very important to our well-being and economy. \"We know this is a matter of great concern for many people, but want to reassure them that every element of the application was considered thoroughly.\" The body has published a plan on how surveys of the disposal site will take place and how it will be monitored. The work will be carried out by NNB GenCo, which was given a marine licence by NRW for the disposal of dredged material in 2014. Samples from the proposed dredge site have previously been analysed by independent experts and NRW said these were found to be within acceptable limits.

Of the 2,730 sites inspected by workers over the past five days, 5% showed potential symptoms and will be revisited for further investigation. The disease is threatening to devastate Britain's 80 million ash population. It has already infected up to 90% of ash trees in some areas of Denmark. In February the disease was found in a consignment of trees sent from a nursery in the Netherlands to a nursery in Buckinghamshire, England. It has since been found at woodland near Kilmacolm in Inverclyde and at a private nursery in the north east. Further cases have now been found near Eyemouth in the Borders, near Carrbridge in the Highlands, near Blairgowrie in Perthshire, and near Montrose in Angus. The Forestry Commission has named one site as Dalbeattie Forest in Dumfries and Galloway. A tree showing symptoms of ash dieback has been identified in the northern section of the forest known as the Town Wood. Detailed investigations A UK-wide investigation is under way to trace the original source of the diseased trees. The rapid survey carried out by the Forestry Commission in Scotland covered 80,000 sq km (49,709 miles). The results have been \"cautiously welcomed\" by Environment and Climate Change Minister Paul Wheelhouse but he said there was \"no room for complacency\". He added: \"Only 5% of the sites visited in the rapid survey showed any potential symptoms meriting more detailed investigations and subsequent laboratory analysis and this work is on-going. \"In addition to the two sites already confirmed, a further five sites have so far been confirmed as being infected, bringing the total known confirmed cases to seven in Scotland. \"Further surveys, including more detailed surveys in areas around infected sites, will be needed before we can be confident about the full extent of the disease in Scotland. There is also the possibility of windborne spread of the disease from the continent and from infected sites elsewhere in these isles.\" Carol Evans, director of the Woodland Trust Scotland, said: \"It's worrying that more confirmed and suspected cases of Chalara ash dieback have been identified in Scotland, although given the scale of the search that has been carried out we had expected to see some. \"Hopefully we'll continue to see prompt action where infected trees have been found to try and ensure that the disease doesn't spread further from these locations.\" There is no risk to human or animal health from Chalara ash dieback. The Forestry Commission said there was no need to restrict public access to woodlands, but members of the public were asked to behave responsibly to ensure that they do not inadvertently carry ash leaves from one woodland area to another.",

So what has changed and what will it mean for passengers? What are the new restrictions on charging devices in your hand luggage? All passengers flying into or out of the UK will have to be able to prove electronic and electrical devices in their hand luggage are sufficiently charged to be switched on. What gadgets are included? The DfT guidance includes devices such as: The general advice applies to anything \"with a battery\", so other items such as handheld games consoles and e-readers could also be checked. What will happen if my device cannot be switched on? The government guidelines say passengers carrying devices which they cannot switch on \"face not being allowed to bring the device onto the aircraft\". Passengers would then have to choose between charging the device if possible, leaving it behind (see below) or not getting on their flight. What will happen if I leave an electronic device? Some airlines have outlined ways customers can get their devices back. British Airways said passengers could either keep devices at airports for customers to collect or have them forwarded to another address, at the airline's expense. Virgin Atlantic has said likewise. EasyJet said it was seeking clarification from the government on the new regulations and had not, so far, issued any specific instructions to passengers. Can I charge my device at the airport? To avoid the risk of missing your flight or having your device taken away, make sure it is fully charged and check that the airport you are travelling from has a charging point. If for any reason you have a device with a flat battery, charging points are available near security in most airports - so if you have enough time before your flight you should be able to charge it up. What flights are affected? The DfT said the changes would affect \"some routes into and out of the UK\", but added: \"For obvious reasons we will not be commenting in detail on the routes affected.\" All passengers flying to or from the UK are advised to charge electrical items they wish to carry as hand luggage. Why are these measures being put in place? The UK government is acting \"in line\" with advice from the US, which recently warned of a \"credible\" threat of terrorism. US authorities did not give specific details of this threat. The DfT would not comment on why people carrying electronic devices needed to show they could switch on. Analysts have suggested the new rules could be a response to efforts by Islamic militants in Syria and Yemen to build bombs that evade airport security checks. How will long will the measures be in place? This is not known. The DfT said it would \"not be commenting in detail on the measures\".

This seems to depend on who you ask. British Airways is advising its passengers to allow extra time at various stages of their journey, from checking in to the boarding gate. But very few delays were reported when the new rules came into force, and Heathrow Airport has said passengers do not need to allow extra time in light of the new measures. Do the previous restrictions on hand luggage still apply? Normal hand luggage rules are still in place, including restrictions liquids and sharp objects. The DfT website has full details.",

NHS transplant experts said the breakthrough would help reduce the shortage of donor organs and they hoped more people with HIV would join the organ donor register. About three people a day die waiting for an organ transplant. Prof John Forsythe, associate medical director for organ donation and transplantation at NHS Blood and Transplant, said: \"It's exciting that some people with HIV in the UK have helped benefit patients with HIV after their death by donating their organs. \"While organ transplants from donors with HIV are limited to recipients with HIV infection, innovations like this open up the possibility of donation where it did not previously exist and will help to reduce the shortage of donor organs.\" At present, organs from donors with HIV can only be donated to people who also have the HIV infection. All potential donors are tested for a number of infections, including HIV, hepatitis B and hepatitis C. The first successful kidney transplants took place at Guy's and St Thomas' Hospital in London in 2015. Two functioning kidneys were donated by a donor with HIV who had died and were transplanted into two patients with HIV who had kidney disease. Dr Rachel Hilton, consultant nephrologist at the hospital, said: \"These successful kidney transplants represent an important breakthrough. \"Previously organs from deceased patients with HIV were lost because it was not known whether it would be safe or effective to use those organs. \"We now know that we can accept organs from deceased patients with well-controlled HIV, to give to other HIV-infected patients on the transplant waiting list.\" Safety first She said those patients with kidney failure were in desperate need of a donated organ, which could make a huge difference to their life expectancy. But there are risks that a donor with more advanced HIV could pass on some of the more serious complications of the condition to a recipient and pose a threat to their health. Prof Forsythe said it was important that organs were donated safely and did not cause harm to the recipient. \"We carefully evaluate all donors. And with potential donors with HIV, we also need to understand how well their HIV has been treated and whether the donor had any infections or illnesses associated with more advanced HIV,\" he said. \"Surgeons will use this information to balance the risks of using an organ from someone with HIV with the risk of their patient dying while waiting for another organ to become available.\" Benefits everyone Ian Green, chief executive at Terrence Higgins Trust, said the organ transplants were \"pioneering\". \"Some illnesses are seen more frequently in people living with HIV than in the general population, including liver disease caused by hepatitis viruses B or C, and these can result in the need for a transplant,\" he said. \"People with HIV in need of an organ transplant can benefit enormously from a donated organ.\" He said that for some time patients with HIV had benefitted from donated organs from donors without HIV. He added: \"If people living with HIV can receive organs from donors who also had HIV, there is potential benefit for everyone.\"",

Now, £21.5m - £12m from a 2011 funding of £50m and nearly £10m from the science research council EPSRC - will be allocated to specific universities. In addition, those universities and their industrial partners will commit a total of £14m to the effort. Mr Osborne said the investment fund would aim to take the technology \"from the British laboratory to the British factory floor\". Graphene is sheets of carbon just one atom thick - the very same material making up a pencil's \"lead\", but with record-breaking mechanical strength and electronic properties. Manchester University academics Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov won the 2010 physics Nobel Prize in Physics for isolating the material and measuring some of its astounding properties. But since the material's discovery in 2005, scientists have sought to make good use of those attributes - no easy task when working at the atomic scale. The Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) has now identified the most promising graphene-related research projects in British universities to benefit from state funding. The University of Cambridge has been awarded more than £12m for research into graphene flexible electronics and opto-electronics, which could include things like touch-screens and other display devices. Imperial College London will receive over £4.5m to investigate aerospace applications of graphene. The other successful projects are based at Durham University, the University of Manchester, the University of Exeter and Royal Holloway. The universities will themselves contribute about £2m to the overall effort, and will work with industrial partners including Nokia, BAE Systems, Procter & Gamble, Qinetiq, Rolls-Royce, Dyson, Sharp and Philips Research - which will together bring in a further £12m in investment. Mr Osborne told BBC Radio 4's Today programme there had been \"enormous competition\" for the graphene research to be done elsewhere in the world, rather than the UK. He said: \"We had to act very quickly... to step in and say we're going to provide funding here in Britain for that activity. That's an example of actually actively backing a winner to keep it in the UK.\" Mr Osborne said there were several ways in which the UK could become an attractive location for scientific research, including more financial backing from the government, protecting spending on science, and more investment in big capital science projects. He added that Britain's universities - the \"jewels in the crown\" of the UK economy - needed to be protected.",

And it wants the BMI \"fatness\" thresholds to be lowered to ensure up to 8m people of African, Caribbean and Asian descent in the UK are covered. NICE says it would help identify those at risk of diabetes and heart disease. BMI assesses weight relative to height. NICE says a lower BMI threshold should be used as a trigger for action in people from ethnic minority groups since they are more prone to such diseases. BMI 'meaningless' For good health, ethnic minority groups need to be slightly slimmer for their height than people who are white. NICE says the typical healthy BMI score of 18.5-24.9 is meaningless for people of African, Caribbean and Asian descent, and suggests a range of 18.5-23 instead. It also wants a lower cut-off for the \"obese\" category. It says for ethnic minority groups that means a BMI score of 27.5 or more, rather than 30-plus. Professor Mike Kelly, director of the Centre for Public Health at NICE, said: \"Type 2 diabetes, heart disease and stroke are potentially life-threatening conditions, which people of African, Caribbean and Asian descent and other minority ethnicities are significantly more likely to develop than the wider population. \"So it's vital that local authorities are supported in taking action to prevent these illnesses in people who have a high risk of developing them. \"Not only are people from these ethnic backgrounds up to six times more likely to be diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, they are 50% more likely to die from cardiovascular disease. And they also suffer from these conditions at a younger age.\"",

But activists will press for a motion urging the \"deeply flawed\" bill to be \"withdrawn or defeated\". Labour's Andy Burnham said Lib Dems were \"right to challenge the leadership of their party\" on the issue. But sources close to Mr Clegg told the BBC they believed the motion would be defeated, if selected for debate, once activists see the level of support for the amended bill among Lib Dem MPs and peers. The motion says theHealth and Social Care Billfor England, cannot be made \"fit for purpose\" by further amendments. Party unease The bill aims to give GPs control of much of the NHS budget and would open up the health service to greater competition from the private and voluntary sector. But activists say the controversial shake-up of the NHS in England has failed to win over the public and health professionals and would be disruptive at a time the NHS is having to make big savings. The motion has first to be accepted by organisers of next week's conference in Gateshead if it is to be debated. BBC News Channel chief political correspondent Norman Smith said it was a significant setback for Mr Clegg's attempts to overcome unease within his party over the plans. 'Stage-managed posturing' In a letter to Lib Dem MPs and peers, also signed by Baroness Williams, Mr Clegg set out five changes they wanted to see in the bill, which is being debated by peers this week. Mr Clegg added that \"once these final changes have been agreed, we believe conference can be reassured that it has finished the job it started last March and the bill should be allowed to proceed\". Labour's shadow health secretary Andy Burnham, who was protesting against the bill outside Mr Clegg's Sheffield constituency office on Thursday, said: \"It is now clear that prominent Lib Dems are not at all convinced by Nick Clegg's stage-managed posturing on the Health and Social Care Bill. \"I pay tribute to those who have put principle before politics and spoken out. They are right to challenge the leadership of their party and represent the views of ordinary Lib Dem voters.\" He urged Lib Dem rebels to \"work with us\" and said Labour was urging Mr Clegg to drop the controversial third part of the bill - which opens up the NHS to more competition from private and voluntary sector providers - to \"minimise the damage of this bill\". Dr Graham Winyard, who was the chair of the Winchester Lib Dems and a member of the party's health committee, resigned from the party on Thursday, warning Mr Clegg that his support for the bill would be \"a slow-motion disaster\" for the NHS and the party. Dr Winyard, a former deputy chief medical officer for England, said Mr Clegg had urged him to \"soldier on regardless\" but he felt it more appropriate to resign.",

            "input": "Formerly a bustling grain farming hub, it's now a typical northern New South Wales town with a bowling club, service station, hotel and post office. But in 2015, Delungra was named Australia's lowest-earning postcode by the Australian Taxation Office, with a mean taxable income of just $21,691. The town's 330 residents are bemused by this dubious honour. They say it doesn't reflect their experience of living in the town, where volunteerism is the norm and friendships run deep and long. This is what locals say it's like to live in Australia's poorest town. Jim Townsend, retired mechanic Jim, 79, has lived in Delungra all his life. He owned the town's service station for a number of years and has been active in keeping the post office open. Delungra's post office has long been a gathering place for the town's residents. So it was a big blow when Australia Post announced it would be shutting the local branch due to cost. The closure would have forced residents to travel over 30km to get their mail. Instead, locals came together to keep their post office open and to retain their postcode. The local branch is now staffed by 10 volunteers. \"The local council got together and put the word out,\" Jim says. \"We got a good selection of volunteers and we've kept [the post office] open. \"It's very important, it gets the people from the country into the post office, we get to meet them and that way we get to know who's who.\" Tim Lloyd, cattle farmer Tim's family has been in Delungra for generations. His grandfather settled here in 1920 and Tim and his father have been farming cattle for 40 years. He says the monetary wealth of a town isn't what's important. \"It's not necessarily the wealth of a town or the wealth of people - you don't need a lot of money to live and to be happy. It's community spirit and that's what any community desperately needs. The smaller the community, the more people are going to put their hands up.\" Philippa Raw, childcare provider and volunteer Locals may joke it takes 30 years to be truly accepted in Delungra, but Philippa says she was welcomed on her first day when she moved here with her family 10 years ago. \"They were so nice, everyone smiled and waved and went out of their way to talk to you because you were the newbies in town,\" she says. \"I think its still the same way. Everyone wants to help everyone.\" She was surprised to see her town listed as the poorest in the nation. \"It's totally not, it's totally the opposite. I mean you look around and you see the beautiful houses. There's no bias, whether you've got multimillions or whether you've got two dollars in the bank. I couldn't imagine myself being anywhere else.\" John Larken, retired sheep shearer John's family has run businesses in Delungra for decades. His son finally closed the family-owned café a couple of years ago. He says the low mean income can be explained by the number of retirees in town, but says calling the town the lowest-earning in the country gives the wrong impression. \"I think there's worse places than this!\" he says. \"There'd be more people on the dole somewhere else then there are here. If you like a quiet life, I'd say come and live in Delungra. It's as simple as that.\" Harry McNaughton, development council volunteer Harry moved to town about 25 years ago and is deeply involved in the community. He leads the Delungra District Development Council, which maintains town archives and organises volunteers, whom he says are integral to keeping the town running. \"We think that Delungra needs some tender, loving care, and we've got volunteers to do it,\" he says. \"We mow lawns around the district, we maintain parks, volunteers built our Anzac gateway and memorial, they man the local garbage dump two days a week, we man the post office. \"Delungra is quiet, the air is fresh, the birds sing, the sun shines, and it's just a relaxed way of life and I couldn't imagine living anywhere else. I think whoever says this is a poor community, should get on the train and come visit because being here is a different story.\" Lorna Ogilvie, honorary Delungra resident and volunteer Lorna lives an hour away, but serves as secretary of the women's bowls club, the development council and the Australia Day committee in Delungra. In contrast to her city life, where she did not know her neighbours, she was quickly accepted when she started coming to Delungra. \"It's not a poor town. We haven't got the facilities but ... the lifestyle, it's quiet and relaxed. Here you know your neighbours, everybody knows everybody [and] if someone's in trouble, someone will come and help.\" Robert Campagnar, retired carpet layer Robert says: \"When I was a kid, this was a thriving town. They had barley stacks, they had shops, they had pubs and clubs, everything. Everybody's making a dollar. People need to realise that when people retire, if people don't take their job over [then] things just sort of decline. But the town's still here and you can't take Delungra away from Delungra.\" \"It's fantastic, that's my opinion. I love the place. It's the peace and the company of the people. I've known these people since I was a kid. I went to Sydney, I've been overseas and I always come back here. When they take me from here I'll probably be in a box.\"",

In Birmingham, more than a month's rainfall hit parts of the city in an hour on Sunday. Areas of Northamptonshire were also flooded. Weather warnings have been issued for Monday, while the South East could see the hottest day of the year so far. Emergency workers were called to Lichfield Road in the Rushall area of Walsall shortly after 02:00 BST on Monday morning. 'Two inches of breathing space' West Midlands Ambulance Service (WMAS) paramedic Peter Bowles was at the scene and tweeted that firefighters and ambulance staff had to swim 50m to reach the man. Four paramedics went into the flood-water and carried out life support, WMAS said. He was taken to hospital where he died a short time later. His family has been informed. Drainage engineer Ben Lees had rescued another man from the same road on his way home earlier on Sunday. He said there was about 2in of breathing space in the car when he swam to it and dragged the man out. The Far Cotton area of Northampton was severely flooded along with major roads in the county including the M1 and A45. The Environment Agency has issued multiple flood warnings and alerts covering much of central England. Despite the flood warnings, Met Office meteorologist Craig Snell said temperatures could hit highs of 28C or 29C in the South East. He said: \"It all depends how much cloud develops. There's a chance we could see the warmest day of the year.\" In Birmingham, one major route in the city was rendered impassable by water up to 5ft (1.5m) deep. The Met Office said a site at Winterbourne, in Edgbaston, recorded 58mm of rainfall in just one hour on Sunday afternoon, and 81mm in a 12-hour period. The monthly average for the West Midlands region in May is 55mm, Mr Snell said. But he said the torrential rain had been \"very localised\", pointing out that another site 10 miles away at Coleshill recorded just 3mm of rain in 12 hours. BBC journalist Rebecca Woods said she had driven past a large number of flooded and closed roads in the Harborne and Selly Oak areas. She said she had seen flooded houses and it had taken her 90 minutes to drive about five miles. In Sir John's Road, Selly Park, homes flooded and cars were under water, while wheelie bins floated down the road. Resident Stu Dunigan said water was above waist height, almost submerging cars on the street. It is the second time in two years the street has flooded. More than 100 homes were flooded June 2016 causing some residents to leave their houses. Some had only recently returned before Sunday's floods. Trevor Thomas, who lives in Kings Heath, had to leave his home when it was flooded with six inches of water. Mr Thomas, 51, is severely disabled and had to be taken to stay with his 73-year-old mother, Pat Thomas, at her home in Kings Norton. She said the house was not suitable for her son and they both had to sleep on the sofa as she could not get him upstairs to bed. Jacqui Kennedy from Birmingham City Council said the operation to clear up debris and repair roads was under way. Police said some roads in Birmingham were still affected by flooding and advised drivers not to ignore road closure signs. In Pelsall, Matthew Swain thanked his \"lovely neighbours\" who helped his elderly grandparents by sweeping the water out of their house in Fordbrook Lane while their own homes were also flooded. \"They left their own houses and came to my grandparents' rescue,\" he said. \"I'm so grateful and thankful to them all.\" Northampton council leader Jonathan Nunn and councillor James Hill visited St Leonard's Road in Far Cotton to speak people affected by flooding. Mr Nunn said: \"We want to know exactly what happened and work out ways to prevent it happening again.\" Part of the M1 and A45 in the county were under three feet of water and drivers were trying to pass through the floods. The A5 was closed in both directions in the border area of Leicestershire, Warwickshire and Northamptonshire, between the junctions of the A426 at Churchover and the A428 near the Dirft rail terminal to the east of Rugby. Warwickshire Fire and Rescue Service (WFRS) said it had also been \"extremely busy\" dealing with flooding calls on Sunday evening.",

At least 50 eBay merchants are taking part in the scheme but have not been named yet. The move may help eBay challenge Amazon's Locker delivery. The Amazon scheme lets people order online then pick up their package from a growing number of secure passcode-protected lockers situated in local shops or other public venues. Both Amazon, eBay and other online retailers are also involved in the separate Collect+ scheme, which allows parcels to be collected from participating corner shops, avoiding the risk of missing a delivery. One retail analyst said more of these tie-ups could be expected. \"Pure-play home-delivery e-commerce can actually be profoundly inconvenient,\" Bryan Roberts, from the consultancy Kantar Research, told the BBC. \"There's nothing convenient about having to queue up at the post office for 30 minutes every Saturday morning. \"Workplace delivery is an option, but an increasing number of employers are getting frustrated with acting as e-retailers' unwilling fulfilment partners. \"So, it makes sense to forge a partnership with national retailers, and we'll see more of this because it marries the benefits of online shopping - competitive prices and massive ranges - with the convenience of the real-world store you can pop into on your way home.\" Argos has been expanding its own click-and-collect service, allowing shoppers to have an item held back that might be in short supply or ordered in if not in stock. There is a risk that the eBay tie-up could cannibalise some of those sales, and Argos noted the tie-up was only a trial set to last about six months. \"Having pioneered check-and-reserve in the year 2000, it now accounts for around a third of our business and continues to grow,\" said the firm's managing director, John Walden. \"[Ebay] is already a strong partner with Argos and a logical partner for the trial. \"We look forward to assessing the opportunity for Argos to provide fulfilment for eBay's merchants, including the operational requirements, attractiveness to sellers and consumers, and opportunity for increased customer footfall.\" In May, Argos reported its first rise in annual sales in five years, largely thanks to online sales and the popularity of its \"check and reserve\" service. Ebay also announced it planned to test a one-hour delivery service in London some time in 2014, but said it had no other details to share at this time.

Dr Moore, who works for Public Health Wales and is based at Cardiff's University Hospital of Wales, recognised the significance of the new disease early in the pandemic. She worked with international collaborators and helped bring reliable laboratory testing to Wales within a month of its recognition as a new virus.

Renewed curbs A fresh four-week lockdown is due to begin in England on Thursday, when shops selling non-essential goods will be required to close. Supermarkets, which will remain open, are keen to avoid running out of items because of customers buying more than they need in anticipation of shortages. However, other parts of the UK have already seen the return of tighter coronavirus restrictions, causing other manufacturers to respond to higher demand. Areas of Scotland and Wales reported increased panic-buying in September, with toilet rolls among the items selling out. Wepa UK, which manufactures toilet paper and kitchen roll at a plant in Maesteg in Wales, said at the time that it had increased production by 23%. Mike Docker, the firm's joint managing director, said it had \"learnt lessons\" from the spring, adding: \"If panic buying does happen extensively again, it will not have the same effect on supply as it did in March.\"",

The 43ft (13m) wide roundhouse was buried by coastal sand, thought to have blown there during a sandstorm in 1330. Coins found at the fort near Caernarfon suggest it was occupied in Roman times. The \"well-preserved\" roundhouse - with its 8ft (2.5m) thick walls - was uncovered close to the cliff edge buried underneath 3ft (1m) of sand during a two-week dig. \"It's probably the biggest one I've ever seen in 30 years of archaeology,\" said David Hopewell, senior archaeologist at the dig. \"In another trench we have another big wall which may be another roundhouse but we're not entirely sure yet. \"The main problem is that everything is under a metre of sand and we're wondering if it blew in in the big storm in 1330 - so it looks like it's been buried for a long time and it's superbly preserved.\" Archaeologists' initial estimations think the Roman pottery could be from around 200 to 300AD while the fort is thought to be from the Iron Age, which dates from around 800BC to 43AD. \"That's not to say Romans occupied the site but perhaps a tribe lived there that traded with the Romans,\" said Dan Amor, of the Gwynedd Archaeological Trust. The roundhouse, though, could be the jewel in the crown of the hillfort - set on glacial drift sediment - of which about 30% already been lost to the Irish Sea since 1900. Experts predict, due to climate change, the 125-acre Dinas Dinlle site could be completely lost within 500 years. It is one of 12 sites in the UK and Ireland being monitored by the European Union-funded Cherish project, led by the Royal Commission, to see how climate change is affecting coastal heritage such as Dinas Dinlle. This is the first archaeological excavation of the hillfort that formed part of a golf course in the early 20th Century before a pill box was constructed on the site during the Second World War. Early maps and the curve of the defences suggest the fort was once entirely enclosed but part of the western defences have been lost to the sea following thousands of years of coastal erosion. \"Dinas Dinlle encapsulates the risk to our coastline from climate change,\" said Andy Godber of the National Trust. \"Our coastal adaptation policy for Dinas Dinlle is to accept the loss of this important site, being part of this innovative project allows us to learn more about the history of human occupation here, while we still can.\"",

'No alternative' to England's second lockdown Boris Johnson will tell MPs later that coronavirus deaths could be twice as high over the winter as they were in the spring unless he - and the whole country - acts now. He'll insist it was \"right to try every possible option\" at a regional level first, but nationwide action is now non-negotiable. Despite criticising the time it's taken to get to this point, Labour MPs are expected to vote in favour of the lockdown on Wednesday. Not all of Mr Johnson's own MPs will back it, though. Full details of the new restrictions are still to be published, but here's everything we know so far. 2. Prince William 'tested positive in April' Palace sources have told the BBC the Duke of Cambridge contracted Covid-19 earlier this year - around the same time as his father. The Sun newspaper, which first reported the story, said he was treated by palace doctors and isolated at the family home in Norfolk. BBC royal correspondent Jonny Dymond said the duke may have kept his diagnosis private to avoid alarming the nation. Kensington Palace has refused to comment officially. 3. Scotland launches five-tier system of restrictions So far, no areas have been designated tier four - the top level. The central belt and Dundee have been placed in tier three, while the Highlands, Western Isles, Moray, Orkney and Shetland are all in level one. See what that means in practice for the likes of schools and hospitality, and use the official postcode look-up to see the situation where you are. Meanwhile, Northern Ireland's schools reopen today, mid-way through a four-week national \"circuit-breaker\" lockdown. Wales continues its \"firebreak\" too, and the first minister is urging people to stick with it. 4. Catch-up scheme opens From today, schools in England can begin enrolling pupils in a national scheme designed to provide catch-up tuition for those whose learning suffered most during the spring lockdown. Research suggests the gap between disadvantaged pupils and their more privileged counterparts has widened significantly. More than 15,000 tutors have been recruited and lessons will be 75% subsidised by the government. Education unions, though, say provision could and should have come from schools themselves, rather than external agencies. 5. India's Covid conundrum Research suggests people in low income countries may have higher immunity to Covid-19 because of exposure to various pathogens from childhood. Two papers have tried to explain why, despite poorer healthcare, hygiene and sanitation, countries like India have not seen death rates as high as richer nations. They suggest these apparent negatives could actually have saved lives. It's important to say, though, that other factors could also be at play - India's relatively young population, for example - and the research is yet to be peer reviewed.

He was remembered at the city's cathedral, which each year holds a service in celebration of animals. Dogs, cats, a donkey, ferrets, guinea pigs and even birds were in the cathedral. Garfield was well-known at the supermarket where he spent most days lolling on a sofa in the lobby and being petted by customers. He amassed a fan-base of more than 7,000 people from across the globe, who followed his adventures on Facebook. However, he was hit by a car in the store's car park and died in July, aged 12. Around 450 pet owners and animal lovers attended the service. Canon James Garrard and Canon Jessica Martin, joined by her rescue dog Gonzo, celebrated the lives of animals in the community and blessed them. Author Cate Caruth, who wrote a book about Garfield, told the congregation: \"He was a pet for all those who could have no pet of their own.\" Ms Caruth said \"the whole of Ely mourned\" when he died. \"Garfield touched thousands of lives around the world,\" she said. She said the eulogy was not just for Garfield, but for anyone who had lost a pet. \"In remembering Garfield, we remember all those pets,\" she said. \"As the fictional Garfy might say, 'I'm not really gone.

So what do we know about the latest boy wonders? Giants Kevin Systrom graduated from Stanford in 2006 with a BSc in Management Science and Engineering. In his short business life since then he has graced the biggest names in social networking - first as an intern at Odeo - which later became the rather better-known Twitter. He spent two years at Google - part of which he says was spent working on Gmail and Google Reader. His business partner Mike Krieger was born in Sao Paulo, Brazil and came to the US in 2004 to attend Stanford. His internship was at a less-up-and-coming company - Microsoft - which had ceased to be called a fast-growing wonder business and was simply a technology giant. He wrote his Master's thesis on how user interfaces can better support collaboration on a large scale. After graduating, he worked at instant messaging firm Meebo for a year and a half as a user experience designer and as a front-end engineer. Simple joy The two were inspired to create the Instagram app - originally launched just for iPhones in the autumn of 2010 - but now available to Android users - by old Polaroid pictures. These were the first widely-accessible instant pictures for consumers that did not mean waiting hours, or even days, to see how the shots turned out. The pictures from these cameras were always square, rarely with colours that could be mistaken for true-to-life - just like those created with the filters which Instagram is known for. Initially, they were working on another idea, but they ditched it for the simple joys of sharing photos, simply. \"We set out to change and improve the way the world communicates and shares,\" Kevin Systrom said. The app was designed to work neatly with social networking sites - including of course Facebook. The pair watched as 10,000 users downloaded it in a matter of hours. The number hit 200,000 in the first week. Interviewed by the Crazyengineers website the following year, Kevin Systrom explained how the Instagram app works: \"All filters are a map of input to output. \"It takes a pixel in and pushes a pixel out. In that way you can think of filters as simply a function.\" He added that the speed the photos appeared was down to the lack of data needed to produce the image. \"The magic of fast uploads is simply that we're not uploading full resolution. Instead of uploading 3MB we upload 60kb. There's a huge difference in reliability when you're dealing with small data.\" Independent running The app's extraordinary growth means that less than two years after its launch, it now has 30 million users uploading five million photos a day. With Facebook's chief executive, Mark Zuckerberg, saying the business will continue to run as if it was as an independent, the two will be watched to see it they can continue to expand this business further. Mr Systrom last month spoke at an event at the SXSW Interactive conference entitled: \"Is our photo madness creating mediocrity or magic?\" Its introduction read: \"Over 100 million photos are uploaded to Facebook every day. There are 3.5 billion cameraphones in use around the world. \"Instagram reached 13 million users in just 13 months. We are nearing the end of what Philip Gourevitch of The New Yorker called 'the decade in which the world went camera-mad'.\" Mr Systrom - who lists the New Yorker magazine as one of his interests on his Facebook profile - and Mr Krieger, must be hoping that that period won't be coming to an end any time soon.",

            "input": "The 100th anniversary of the Gallipoli landings - one of the costliest phases of World War One - will be commemorated next month. It's estimated that both sides lost 130,000 dead as the Allies unsuccessfully battled the Ottoman army for control of the Dardanelles strait. Among the dead were two 15-year-old boys from Scotland - best friends Torquil MacLeod and Ronnie Faed, who served aboard the Royal Navy battleship HMS Goliath. Both Torquil and Ronnie came from privileged backgrounds. Born on 11 September 1899, Torquil was the second son of Roderick and Alice MacLeod of Cadboll. The childhood home he shared with his two brothers and sister was Invergordon Castle, a now demolished stately home. Ronnie Faed was born on 29 May 1899, the son of the Scottish artist James Faed Jr. Ronnie's family were constantly on the move because of his father's work commitments but they considered Galloway to be their home. Like most boys of their social class Torquil and Ronnie were sent off to preparatory boarding schools. They probably first met at the age of 12 when they both enrolled at the Royal Naval College at Osbourne on the Isle of Wight in the summer of 1912. The two cadets completed two years of officer training there before moving on to the college's senior campus at Dartmouth. Discipline was strict for the trainee officers. There was constant military drill and they had compulsory \"cold plunge\" washes at 6am every day. They were also given intensive lessons on engineering and other practical skills that would be of use for life aboard a Royal Navy ship. However, Torquil and Ronnie, along with the rest of their class-mates, also got plenty of opportunity to enjoy sports and were particularly encouraged to become strong swimmers. Their routine was turned upside down on 1 August 1914 when 434 cadets of the Dartmouth cadets aged between 14 and 16 were ordered to mobilise and join the Royal Navy's reserve fleet. One of the cadets Wolston Weld-Forester, who survived the war, later wrote that on hearing the news they all rushed towards the main college building, joyous at the thought of the adventures that lay ahead. \"Already an excited crowd was surging through the grounds - some with mouths still full from the canteen, others clutching cricket pads and bats and yet others but half- dressed, with hair still dripping from the swimming baths...\" But while mobilisation was a source of joy for the cadets it undoubtedly caused anxiety among their parents and for some their worst fears were soon realised. By mid-November at least 23 of the youngsters had been killed in action, mostly at the hands of German submariners. The first Lord of the Admiralty Winston Churchill was forced to defend the decision to send the boys to sea in the House of Commons. He explained to MPs: \"It was felt that young officers of their age would be of great use on board His Majesty's ships, and that they would learn incomparably more of their profession in war than any educational establishment on shore could teach them.\" More on World War One Torquil, then 14, and Ronnie, 15, were assigned to HMS Goliath, a pre-dreadnought battleship that was brought out of retirement at the start of the war. Although obsolete compared with more modern vessels, \"Golly\" - as she was known to her crew - could still pack a considerable punch with her four 12-inch guns. The two boys were made midshipmen, the most junior rank for officers, who were commonly referred to as \"snotties\". They were to get their first taste of action not in the North Sea but in the distant waters of the Indian Ocean where HMS Goliath was sent to take part in operations against enemy warships operating out of the German East African colony in modern day Tanzania. However, at the end of 1914 HMS Goliath had to go for a lengthy refit at the Simon's Town naval base near Cape Town in South Africa. While there Ronnie wrote one of many letters home to his parents, telling them that he and his best friend Torquil had both enjoyed going to what he described as a few \"bun worry\" tea parties with local young ladies. But in March 1915 they were ordered to head to the Aegean for the start of the fateful Dardanelles campaign. HMS Goliath's role in the operation was to help cover the landing of Allied troops on the peninsula by bombarding Ottoman positions. Battle for Gallipoli: February 1915-January 1916 Commonwealth War Graves Commission: Gallipoli Resistance was fierce and the young boys would have seen the horrors of this campaign up close as they helped transfer wounded men, often nursing terrible injuries, off the beach and back to hospital ships. In his final letter home just days before his death, Ronnie wrote: \"I am as well and happy as a fiddle - there is absolutely nothing to be anxious about - just you think of afterwards.\" The Ottoman high command had decided that action had to be taken to stop Royal Navy battleships from raining down destruction upon their forces. In foggy conditions and under cover of darkness on the night of 12-13 May 1915, the Turkish torpedo boat Muavenet-i Milliye managed to sneak through the narrows and opened fire, hitting HMS Goliath with three torpedoes. Ronnie and Torquil's old classmate 15-year-old Wolston Weld-Forester was woken up by the explosions and later described the following moments in his memoir From Dartmouth to the Dardanelles. \"Inside the ship everything which was not secured was sliding about and bringing up against the bulkheads with a series of crashes. Crockery was smashing - boats falling out of their crutches - broken funnel guys swinging against the funnel casings. Wolston described the ship heeling over to about 20 degrees, before holding steady for a few seconds. \"In the momentary lull the voice of one of our officers rang out steady and clear as at 'divisions' : 'Keep calm, men. Be British!'\" The ship then started to heel rapidly again. Wolston jumped overboard. \"Just before I struck the water my face hit the side of the ship. It was a horrid feeling sliding on my face down the slimy side, and a second later I splashed in with tremendous force, having dived about 30ft. \"Just as I was rising to the surface again a heavy body came down on top of me. I fought clear and rose rather breathless and bruised. I swam about 50 yards away to get clear of the suction when the ship went down. Then, turning round and treading water I watched her last moments.\" There were just three-and-a-half minutes between the torpedoes striking and Goliath sinking. Wolston was one of the lucky ones. He was in the sea for a considerable time before rescuers found him, just as he was beginning to lose consciousness through cold and exhaustion. There were 570 others who were not so fortunate. They included Torquil and Ronnie. Torquil was aged 15 and eight months while Ronnie was just a few weeks away from his 16th birthday. Sub-lieutenant Philip van der Byl wrote this letter to Ronnie's parents: \"I am sure it will be some comfort to you to hear how much we all loved your son in the Goliath, and how much we miss him. He was the life and soul of the gunroom, and always most cheerful and optimistic. His best friend was (Torquil) Macleod, who also was drowned. \"They always used to go ashore together and buy curios for you. He really was a charming boy, loved by all who knew him. On the night we were sunk he was sleeping outside my cabin, and I saw him when I turned out. He had got his safety waistcoat on, and was going quietly up the ladder on to quarter-deck. He seemed as cheerful as usual, and perfectly cool. \"When I got on to deck a few seconds later he was just going-over the port side with two other 'snotties.' That was the last I saw of him, and I shall never forget his cheery little face absolutely as full of confidence and calm assurance as it could be. He was picked up unconscious by one of the Euryaliis boats, and died on board, and was buried at sea early the same morning. Poor boy! I hoped and prayed he might have been saved, and we were all miserable when we heard he had gone... It is always the good who die young.\" Dr Jane Harrold, an archivist at the Britannia Royal Naval College in Dartmouth, has researched the stories of these youngest of British military personnel who went to war. \"They were incredibly enthusiastic. This was going to be a great adventure. It was going to be over fairly quickly as most people thought.\" Perhaps the most surprising thing for a modern audience is the apparent lack of contemporary concern at teenagers being sent to war. \"There seems to have been surprisingly little opposition and a great deal of acceptance, which is surprising considering that if you had wanted to fight in the trenches you would have had to have lied about your age if you were 15 and convince the recruiter that you were 18. \"The public doesn't appear to have rallied very much against it. Not being fully commissioned officers, the parents of these 15-year-olds would still be paying fees for the training they were receiving while they were out at sea and putting their lives at risk. The only concession being that if your son died after say six months you'd get half of your fees rebated.\" But this aspect of the war remains relatively unknown even now. \"I am almost as surprised about the lack of interest now as the lack of concern 100 years ago. It seems inexplicable to me that so little is known about this. This was officially sanctioning schoolboys to go into the thick of war at a time where you weren't allowing that to happen when it came to land warfare.\" The situation of the young cadets was particularly precarious as they were used to crew older Royal Navy vessels. \"There was pressure in terms of manpower. But knowing that these boys were not fully trained they weren't going to take a risk by sending them to the more modern, more expensive and more valuable ships in the fleet. Naturally they got sent to not only the oldest and least efficient but perhaps also the most exposed and most vulnerable at the same time. So it was a double whammy in terms of the risk these boys were running.\" Ronnie's great nephew, Stuart Faed, is planning to travel out to Gallipoli for the 100th anniversary of the sinking of HMS Goliath. \"I feel I have to go. My grandfather always talked about his brother and I think I am doing it for him. I suspect it will be very emotive. \"I have a daughter who is 15, which is the same age as young Ronnie was when he died on board that ship. So I think that has probably brought it home to me just what a tender age he was when he lost his life for his country.\" Subscribe to the BBC News Magazine's email newsletter to get articles sent to your inbox.",

            "input": "MSPs backed the bill, to tackle sectarianism with new jail terms of up to five years, by five votes to four. But Labour, Tory and Lib Dem members refused to support the legislation as it stood. First Minister Alex Salmond insisted backing the bill was the right thing to do. The Offensive Behaviour at Football and Threatening Communications Bill was backed by the committee's SNP MSPs, but Labour, Liberal Democrat and Conservative members dissented. Mr Salmond had hoped to secure the backing of all opposition parties. The legislation aims to stamp out abusive behaviour, whether fans are watching matches in a stadium, in the pub or commenting online. In its report, the committee recommended steps to ensure the measures are reviewed after a period of time. And it also asked ministers to make clear what other action was being taken to tackle sectarianism and how much money was being spent on training police to deal with online hate crime. The committee also accused football authorities of failing to take firm action to deal with offensive, football-related behaviour. \"Over many years, they have allowed the issue to drift,\" concluded the committee report, adding: \"If firm action had been taken earlier, offensive behaviour at football might have been stamped out, or at least significantly reduced.\" MSPs also said the Scottish Football Association and Scottish Premier League must determine \"once and for all\" who has authority over disciplinary issues concerning the supporters of SPL clubs. \"We are dismayed that the two bodies do not appear to be close to resolving this issue at a time when clear leadership, and effective joint working, is badly needed,\" the report concluded. The publication came after Labour leader Iain Gray said the bill had failed to win the country's support. Ministers have already delayed the timetable for the bill amid concern from areas such as fans groups and, more recently, a Catholic bishop. Confusion has also surrounded exactly what would constitute a sectarian offence. During first minister's questions at Holyrood, Mr Gray said: \"We accept the need to legislate on sectarianism - that does not mean that any legislation has to be supported. It must garner the support of the country.\" He asked: \"It has not done that so far. Does the first minister not recognise that, as it stands, this legislation can't be supported?\" Wider debate In response, Mr Salmond, who was seeking the backing of opposition parties for the bill, said: \"All of us have to make a choice. \"We can either be part of the backlash or part of the solution. I truly hope that most people in this parliament decide to be part of the solution.\" Leading anti-sectarian charity Nil By Mouth said the legislation was \"too narrow\" and argued that \"less grandstanding\" was needed to give way to a wider debate about the problem which was not confined to football. Strathclyde Police Assistant Chief Constable Campbell Corrigan said the new law was needed to tackle disorder and songs of \"hatred, religion and terrorism\". He said: \"There is no doubt that several organisations and groups are concerned about the focus that is being placed on football and that a view is being expressed about sectarianism in a wider sense and how prevalent it may or may not be in our society. \"My view on this is quite clear. I support this legislation because it seeks to deal with a problem that we know that we have. \"We do have people behaving inappropriately in and around football matches and we do still hear songs being sung that have nothing to do with football and everything to do with hatred, religion and terrorism.\" Scotland's top prosecutor, Lord Advocate Frank Mulholland, previously moved to clarify that behaviour would not be seen as illegal without an \"aggravating\" factor. SNP MSP Christine Grahame, convener of the Scottish Parliament justice committee, said \"The majority of members support the bill as an important way forward in challenging unacceptable behaviour in 21st Century Scotland. \"A minority are not convinced, but we all agree that the football authorities must shoulder some of the blame. \"Their lack of action in joint working and clear leadership in working out who is in charge of disciplinary issues concerning SPL club fans must be addressed - and swiftly.\" Earlier this week the Roman Catholic Bishop of Paisley, Philip Tartaglia, warned Mr Salmond of a \"serious chill\" in church relations with SNP ministers. In a letter to Mr Salmond, the bishop said laws to tackle football-related sectarianism were a \"distraction\". The first minister will meet the bishop on Friday to talk through the issue. Meanwhile, the sectarian bill will now move forward to the final stage of parliamentary scrutiny.",

It comes after the National Police Chiefs' Council published guidance saying officers should issue fines more quickly when rules are broken. More than 30,000 fines have been handed out by forces in England and Wales. NPCC figures show 32,329 fixed penalty notices were issued between 27 March and 21 December last year. The number of people who have died in the UK within 28 days of a positive Covid test surpassed 80,000 on Saturday, and a further 59,937 people tested positive. Ministers have launched a new campaign urging people to act like they have the virus and scientists have warned that lockdown measures in England need to be stricter. \"The vast majority of the public have supported this huge national effort and followed the rules,\" Ms Patel said. \"But the tragic number of new cases and deaths this week shows there is still a need for strong enforcement where people are clearly breaking these rules to ensure we safeguard our country's recovery from this deadly virus. \"Enforcing these rules saves lives. It is as simple as that. Officers will continue to engage with the public across the country and will not hesitate to take action when necessary.\" Health Secretary Matt Hancock has warned the public to follow the lockdown restrictions, telling the BBC's Andrew Marr programme that \"every time you try to flex the rules, that could be fatal\". But Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer criticised the government for not providing \"absolute clarity of messaging\", telling the BBC's Andrew Marr that there had been \"mixed messaging over the last nine months\". NPCC guidance, published on 6 January, says officers should still offer people \"encouragement\" to comply with the regulations and explain any changes. \"However, if the individual or group does not respond appropriately, then enforcement can follow without repeated attempts to encourage people to comply with the law,\" the NPCC said. On Saturday 12 people were arrested during an anti-lockdown protest in south London. Elsewhere, North Wales Police turned away more than 100 cars at Moel Famau in Flintshire by Saturday lunchtime, and Norfolk Police fined one couple who had travelled about 130 miles (209km) to see a seal colony. However, Derbyshire Police has launched an urgent review into how fines were issued after two women were charged £200 each. The pair were stopped by officers for walking five miles from their home with hot drinks, which they were told were not allowed as they were \"classed as a picnic\". John Apter, chair of the Police Federation of England and Wales, said officers were under \"immense pressure to do the right thing\" and said with \"such a changing landscape politically and legally\" there were going to be things which did not go right. He said the police had to balance the relationship with the public. \"It's not easy because all we are trying to do in policing is keep as many people safe as possible,\" he said.",

The move was widely panned by the public, as well as amongst his own cabinet, and within a few weeks Mr Abbott was facing a leadership challenge that, although initially unsuccessful, eventually concluded with his ousting in September. Now, the new Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, who one suspects doesn't see eye to eye on much with his predecessor, has wasted little time in abolishing the policy of awarding knights and dames. In a statement, Mr Turnbull's office said the awards were not appropriate in a modern honours system. Prince Philip will get to keep his title, amongst the seventy-odd others he already holds. But as things stand, his Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh, Royal Knight of the Most Noble Order of the Garter, Grand Master and First Principal Knight Grand Cross of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire, Extra Knight of the Most Noble Order of the Thistle, Knight Grand Cross with Chain of the Order of the Queen of Sheba, Knight of the Order of the Elephant etcetera etcetera (excuse me while I put the kettle on) will be among the last Australian knights. Mr Turnbull's move will likely go down well with the Australian public. But it also raises interesting questions about this country's future as a constitutional monarchy. Government priority? Unlike Mr Abbott, Malcolm Turnbull is a committed republican. A former chair of the Australian Republican Movement, he led the unsuccessful 1999 referendum campaign to abandon the monarchy and establish a republic. Following the referendum defeat, he accused the then prime minister and fervent monarchist John Howard of \"breaking the nation's heart\". Many have wondered whether now in power, he might once again pursue another public vote on the establishment of a republic. Just two years ago, Mr Turnbull was advocating a nationwide online plebiscite to address the issue ahead of a possible second referendum. But since ousting Tony Abbott in September's leadership coup, the Prime Minister has stepped back from that position. While saying he remains a firm republican he has made clear that he does not see the issue as a priority for his government. He certainly wouldn't want to have a referendum and lose again. And polls show at the moment that is likely what would happen. One survey last year showed support for a republic at a 20-year low with just 39% of people favouring abandoning the monarchy. There seems absolutely zero chance of a referendum before the next election due in just under a year's time. But who knows? If Malcolm Turnbull wins in 2016, he may want to return in his second term to an issue he has long felt passionately about. Also public opinion might change, if Prince Charles were to come to power. The Queen will celebrate her 90th birthday next year. All these matters might make for interesting, if a little awkward, after-dinner conversation when Prince Charles makes a royal visit to Australia later this month. Certainly if it were Prince Philip visiting, instead of his son, you might imagine him asking: \"So Mr Turnbull, I hear you are a Republican and don't approve of my knighthood?\"",

Mr Sutton said he was worried children \"would not thrive in the way we have expected them to\" because of the cuts. \"My main worry is that local authorities, through the consortium, are looking to reduce the cost of placements by reducing the additional services that agencies provide: things like education services and respite services,\" he said. \"They are looking for a basic care provision.\" Mr Sutton said he was also concerned that the changes might see children move frequently between placements as foster carers struggled to cope. \"One of the things we always look for in foster caring, which is proved to provide the best possible outcomes, is stability,\" he said. \"You need some kind of help for carers with difficult placements to achieve that. \"If foster carers are not able to access therapy or other services it can make the difference between a placement continuing or breaking down. \"The worry is if we're reducing the availability of therapy and other provisions more placements will break down and it's been shown clearly that children who have multiple placements don't do well in life generally.\" 'Emotive issue' Among other changes Mr Sutton said are being proposed are plans to cut the mileage allowance that foster carers can claim for trips, such as hospital appointments. He described this as an \"emotive\" issue and something that some providers might find difficult to continue. The Welsh government said it is working with councils to improve the commissioning of both local authority and independent foster care. \"Placement choice and stability are key to securing better outcomes of looked-after children in Wales,\" a spokesperson said. \"Local authorities must secure a range of local and independent placements to meet the diverse needs of children in their area. \"The Welsh government continues to work with local authorities in improving their strategic commissioning of placements.\"",

Patrons were advised about the bag restrictions up front, she said, because \"like in most theatres, the cloakroom space is tiny\".

However, it has disclosed that its eNV200 electric vans were also vulnerable. The security researcher who had alerted the Japanese automaker to the problem a month ago believes the company should have taken the step earlier. Troy Hunt said he only blogged about the risk after seeing that other people had discovered and discussed it in online forums. Even so, he said he welcomed the latest development. \"Disabling the service was the right thing to do given it appears it's not something they can properly secure in an expeditious fashion,\" he told the BBC. \"Hopefully this will give them time to build a more robust solution that ensures vehicle features and driving history are only accessible via the authorised owner of the car.\" Stranded drivers Mr Hunt discovered that anyone can control the heating and air conditioning systems of a stranger's Leaf by sending it commands via a web browser because the car's companion app was not configured to verify the owner's identity. Instead, it only required a vehicle identification number (Vin). Vin numbers are stencilled into the windscreens of cars and Mr Hunt noted that it would be relatively easy to script a process that would hunt the net for vulnerable vehicles. In addition, the hack allowed an attacker to see details about journey times and distances, but not location details. Mr Hunt suggested this would be enough to deduce when someone had driven far from their home and run their battery down to leave them stranded. Since the hack would not work when cars were moving and did not affect their steering controls, he acknowledged that it would not threaten people's lives. But after first telling Nissan about the problem on 23 January, he said he felt the company should have suspended the app at an earlier point. As a result he published details of the hack on Wednesday alongside information about how car owners could protect themselves.

But on day three of the hike the family found themselves stranded in a narrow part of canyon where the walls were 40ft (15m) high on either side. The rope Mr Whitson expected to be there wasn't, meaning they couldn't climb down or out. To make matters worse, the waterfall was flowing too fast for them to enter. \"My heart sank when I realised the volume of water was just too dangerous to make rappelling down possible,\" Mr Whitson told CNN.

Storing that pollution away - carbon capture - has been hailed as a solution to the problem. But repeated attempts to get the technology off the ground in the UK have so far stalled - so will it ever happen? A simple concept The idea behind carbon capture is relatively straightforward. Places like coal power stations produce carbon dioxide, but instead of being funnelled into the air, it's stored away. One way to do this is by taking it away by pipeline to an offshore platform where it's injected into the space left by depleted oil and gas fields. Scotland has the capability to be at the forefront of this technology, given the North Sea's potential as the biggest CO2 storage space in Europe. But as simple as the theory is, carbon capture needs a lot of funding to develop it. Trying and failing In 2013, the future looked bright. A project at the gas-fired Peterhead power station, being taken forward by Shell and SSE was named by the UK government as one of two preferred bidders in a £1bn competition to develop carbon capture. The following year, the then deputy prime minister Nick Clegg and environment secretary Ed Davey visited the site in Aberdeenshire to express their backing for carbon capture. Mr Davey said at the time: \"It shows the UK's leading in the low-carbon challenge to tackle climate change and get cleaner energy.\" But that dream is potentially now over, after the UK government scrapped the funding in its 2015 spending review. Without government support, experts say that's bad news for the chances of getting the technology off the ground. 'Negligent and naive' Prof Stuart Haszeldine, director of Scottish Carbon Capture and Storage, said: \"You can't develop the first projects very easily without government backing, because any first project is usually much more expensive than the follow-on projects, because you're over-engineering. \"That's what that government help of £1bn is needed for, to help part-fund carbon capture projects. \"After you've built the first ones, it becomes cheaper.\" He added: \"To not even venture down this path, when it's clearly shown that carbon capture and storage is by far the best financial benefit to the whole economy is negligent, naive and deceitful.\" We've been here before. In 2007, BP abandoned plans for a £500m carbon capture plant, also at Peterhead, blaming Westminster for delays in support. Four years later, a similar proposal for Fife's Longannet power station - one of the country's biggest polluters - was also scrapped. On that occasion, the UK government failed to reach a deal with power companies to allow the project to go ahead. And in September this year, energy firm Drax - the other contender in the now defunct £1bn carbon capture competition - abandoned its stake in a project to store carbon dioxide next to its plant in North Yorkshire which is the biggest coal-fired power station in the UK. It decided to halt further investment because of the UK government's decision to reduce subsidies for renewable energy. Future hopes Will carbon capture ever happen in Britain? Following the UK government's decision this week, Shell said that without the funding it no longer saw a future for the proposal for the time being. And that presents another problem, because if cutting carbon emissions results in the end of coal power stations, then you need to find another way of keeping the lights on. UK Energy Secretary Amber Rudd, who favours gas-fired energy, has proposed closing Britain's remaining coal power stations by 2025 - unless they can install carbon capture. Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has called on Westminster ministers to reinstate the £1bn competition fund, branding their decision \"utter folly\". The UK government has made it clear that, with public spending remaining tight, things have to be cut from its programme. Its department for energy and climate change says carbon capture could still have a part to play in making the country greener. In a statement, a spokesman for the department, said: \"The government has confirmed that the expected capital grant funding for the carbon capture storage competition is no longer available. \"CCS has a potential role in the long-term decarbonisation of the UK and the government will engage closely with bidders on the implication of this decision for them.\" As those discussions continue, CO2 emissions continue to rise.",

Apple will also be required to change its billing procedures to make sure customers have given consent before they are charged for in-app purchases. The company said it had settled rather than take on a \"long legal fight\". \"This settlement is a victory for consumers harmed by Apple's unfair billing, and a signal to the business community: whether you're doing business in the mobile arena or the mall down the street, fundamental consumer protections apply,\" said FTC Chairwoman Edith Ramirez in a statement. \"You cannot charge consumers for purchases they did not authorize.\" 'Tens of thousands' The FTC's complaint alleged that Apple failed to inform parents that by entering a password they were approving a single in-app purchase and also 15 minutes of additional unlimited purchases their children could make without further consent. It also said that Apple often presented a password prompt screen for parents to enter their details without explaining that this would finalise any purchase made in the app. The FTC also noted that Apple received at \"least tens of thousands of complaints\" about unauthorised in-app purchases by children. One woman said her daughter had spent $2600 in one app. This refund settlement only covers customers who have made purchases through Apple's US app store but the BBC's technology editor Rory Cellan-Jones says Apple has previously almost always refunded parents in the UK who have complained about big bills from their children's in-app purchases. The changes to Apple's billing process, which means express consent must be obtained before in-app charges are made, must be in place by 31 March, said the FTC. In an internal email obtained by the website 9to5Mac, chief executive Tim Cook told Apple employees that the FTC's proposals were in line with the company's own intentions. \"The consent decree the FTC proposed does not require us to do anything we weren't already going to do, so we decided to accept it rather that take on a long and distracting legal fight,\" he said.

They suggest it raises new questions about how fungi evolved. Samples used in the research were isolated by Dr Meredith Jones in a pond near her laboratory at Exeter University, UK. \"They are the oldest currently known of the fungal group and they represent the missing link between fungi and the rest of the kingdom of life,\" she told BBC News. \"DNA studies show that it was around this point that fungi diverged, so this will tell us a lot about how they evolved.\" The discovery has already thrown up one surprising finding. The group lacks what until now scientists had thought was a defining feature of fungi: a rigid cell wall that is used to feed. According to lead researcher Dr Thomas Richards from the Natural History Museum in London, text books on fungi may well need to be re-written. \"This new group uses a different strategy. We need to rethink how we classify fungi and we may need a better definition of what a fungus is,\" he said. Fungal doubling The indications are that cryptomycota is an incredibly diverse group, according to Dr Jones. \"From the mushrooms we find at the shops, the yeast that we use to bake bread and brew beer, to the mould that's growing in the bathroom - you can see how diverse the fungi we already know about are,\" she explained. \"This new group is just as diverse, and so its discovery doubles our currently known understanding of the fungal kingdom.\" Researchers had known about this group of fungi from DNA-based techniques. But the Nature-reported study is the first time that a team has learned what cryptomycota actually look like by using advanced microscopic techniques. Deciphering the group's shape and structure should help scientists understand better what this particular group of fungi do in the environment.",

            "input": "By Chris DaviesBBC News Timothy Kirkhope says MPs must decide soon whether they want to back the prime minister's plan to repatriate power over 135 crime and police laws. Mr Cameron is under pressure from Eurosceptic Conservative backbenchers to show he can claw back powers from Brussels by ditching the European Arrest Warrant and other cross border crime agreements. The prime minister wants to opt out of the agreements, and then negotiate to opt back in to the ones he feels are in the national interest. Mr Kirkhope stressed that \"we need to get a move on\" and that this required Parliament to \"make its mind up\" about the opt-out and about what measures it wanted to opt back in to. He believes that if the UK is to renegotiate the crime and justice measures contained in the Lisbon Treaty, a quick decision is needed so that there is enough time to successfully conclude the negotiations. The UK will leave these agreements in December 2014 - thanks to a 'block opt-out' secured by the previous Labour government - unless it notifies the EU that it wishes to opt in to them permanently. Renegotiation The government's policy, set out by Home Secretary Theresa May in Parliament on 15 October last year, is to opt out of the agreements and then to negotiate to opt back in to certain measures, although it has yet to decide on which ones. As a condition of the Lisbon Treaty, in 2014 a number of areas of cross-EU cooperation on crime and justice will move to the jurisdiction of the European Court of Justice. These will include the operation of the European Arrest Warrant and the laws covering the sharing of criminal and DNA databases across European borders. According to Protocol 36 of the Lisbon Treaty if the UK opts out of the measures, it is required to seek the \"widest possible\" level of cooperation within EU law without \"seriously affecting\" the way those laws work. At a debate hosted by the think-tank Open Europe, Cecilia Malmström, the European Commissioner for Home Affairs, raised questions about the practicality of the government's strategy. The Commissioner said: \"the package of measures that the UK re-joins has to be coherent\", and that \"some of the 130 or so measures are of course linked to each other, so you cannot join a few of them but not the others\". 'We need to get a move on' Timothy Kirkhope said that if the opt-out is handled correctly it could be a \"positive process\" in which European states can improve on their current arrangements in a way they all found politically acceptable. However, he also said that getting this process right would require an \"enormous amount of diplomacy\" and \"good timing\". This diplomacy can only begin once Parliament has taken a decision about what course of action it wishes to pursue. This decision must come by 31 May 2014 at the latest, but Mr Kirkhope wants it earlier than that so there is plenty of time for negotiations. A Home Office spokesperson said: \"We have made a commitment to a vote in both Houses of Parliament before we take a final decision on the opt out. That vote will take place in good time before May 2014. \"Discussions are ongoing about which measures we may seek to opt back into and any decision will be guided by what is in our national interest.\"",

The prime minister has faced criticism in the past from secularists and some other public figures for describing Britain as a Christian country. He has previously described himself as a \"committed\" but only \"vaguely practising\" Christian, who is \"full of doubts\" on big theological questions. 'Never be cowed' The prime minister said Britain should be proud of being a \"Christian country with Christian values\". \"But they are also values that speak to everyone in Britain - to people of every faith and none,\" he continued. \"And we must all stand together and defend them.\" He added: \"When terrorists try to destroy our way of life as they have tried to do again so despicably in Brussels this week - we must stand together and show that we will never be cowed by terror. \"We must show that in this struggle of our generation we will defeat the pernicious ideology that is the root cause of this terrorism by standing up proudly for our values and our way of life.\" Mr Cameron also praised the work done by faith and voluntary organisations - helping the homeless, caring for the sick and bereaved and risking their lives to help people in war-torn regions across the world. In his sermon, the Most Rev Justin Welby told worshippers at Canterbury Cathedral that events in Brussels may naturally prompt us \"to act fearfully, to see a world in which fear triumphs\". But he said: \"Easter proclaims to us in flesh and blood that fear and death and terror are not the last words.\" Pope Francis, too, has preached an Easter message of hope, calling on Christians not to let fear and pessimism \"imprison\" them.

Experts say everyone over 16 should get vaccinated to stop the virus' spread. The Joe Rogan Experience was Spotify's most popular podcast in 2020, though the streaming giant did not share the number of times his episodes were downloaded. Rogan has more than seven million followers on Twitter and 12.5 million followers on Instagram. His podcast was acquired by Spotify last year for more than $100m (£77m). Asked about Rogan's comments, top US infectious disease expert Dr Anthony Fauci repeated guidance from experts that unvaccinated, asymptomatic people can still transmit Covid-19. \"Even if you don't have any symptoms, you're propagating the outbreak,\" Dr Fauci said. Rogan made the comments during a 23 April episode of his podcast, which was first reported by Media Matters this week. In that episode, Rogan told listeners that he would not suggest the vaccine to a healthy 21-year-old. \"If you're a healthy person, and you're exercising all the time, and you're young, and you're eating well...like, I don't think you need to worry about this.\" Responding to the criticism on his podcast on Thursday, Rogan said the argument that young people need the vaccine \"for other people\" made sense. \"But that's a different argument,\" he added. And Rogan stressed that he should not be a source of scientific advice. \"I'm not a doctor,\" he said. \"I'm not a respected source of information, even for me.\" The TV host-turned media mogul regularly courts controversy for his blunt and sometimes inflammatory style on air. He has been accused of making sexist, racist and transphobic comments in his podcast. Rogan has denied these accusations and said his comments were taken out of context. Risk v freedom of speech Joe Rogan is a huge draw for Spotify - so much so, in fact, that his show was mentioned in Spotify's quarterly earnings call. Joe Rogan's podcast had \"performed above expectations,\" the company said. Spotify wants to be the place you go to for podcasts and The Joe Rogan Experience is a major plank in that strategy. You might come for Joe Rogan, but stay to listen to other podcasts. Spotify says it's seen a \"strong increase\" in the number of people listening to podcasts since the pandemic hit. However wrapping yourself around a controversial figure like Rogan has its dangers - and this saga illustrates that risk. Rogan said when he signed the deal with Spotify that he would have editorial control. Spotify have publicly backed the podcaster. But of course Spotify does have the power to pull the podcast. As ever Big Tech says it's is trying to balance two things: risk to the public v freedom of speech. However there's always a third factor. Money. When the face of your podcast offering says something that US politicians, the White House and medical experts deride as dangerous - that doesn't look good for Spotify's brand. For now, it looks like Spotify is willing to back the podcaster, and Rogan will hope his retraction will draw a line under the matter. Rogan is not the only US public figure to be accused of anti-vaccine remarks. Current US Vice-President Kamala Harris said during the election campaign last year that she would not trust any vaccine approved by the Trump administration. Then-US Vice-President Mike Pence accused her of \"playing politics with people's lives\". Two coronavirus shots - by Pfizer and Moderna - were subsequently granted authorisation under Mr Trump. Ms Harris received the Moderna jab after the election and said then it was safe. Last year, both Rogan and Spotify faced criticism over the appearance of conspiracy theorist Alex Jones on his show. The streaming giant has so far stood by its star host, touting Rogan's podcast in its first quarter earnings report this week. Spotify did not immediately return a BBC request for comment. \"We have 8 million creators, and hundreds of millions of pieces of content,\" Spotify CEO Daniel Ek told Bloomberg News. \"We have a content policy and we do remove pieces that violate it.\" US and global health authorities have found Covid-19 vaccines to be safe and effective in preventing infection and safety checks continue throughout the world. Experts have warned that misinformation has been fuelling vaccine hesitancy. In the US, nearly 100 million people have been fully vaccinated. This week, President Joe Biden urged all Americans to get their jab, calling it a \"patriotic duty\".",

The court heard his parents \"wish to exhaust all possible options\" and take him to the US for further treatment. Doctors believe the nine-month-old baby has irreversible brain damage. Lawyers for Great Ormond Street Hospital told the court the baby is unable to see, hear, make a noise or move. The parents' barrister, Richard Gordon QC, told the appeal hearing specialists at the hospital were \"usurping the parental function\" and \"seeking to detain Charlie Gard in hospital\". Referring to their hopes of taking Charlie abroad for a therapy trial, Mr Gordon said the pair believed it would cause no \"significant harm\" to their baby and they did not want to look back and think \"what if?\". Lawyers for the parents also argued High Court judge, Mr Justice Francis, did not give enough weight to Charlie's right to life when making his decision. Charlie, who was born healthy on 4 August 2016, has a disorder called mitochondrial depletion syndrome which affects the genetic building blocks that give energy to cells.

One of the women targeted had said she felt \"terrified at the prospect of having these boys in my seminars\". Warwick now says the men have confirmed they will not return in September. Last week, students reacted angrily to the news that their bans had been cut, using the hashtag #ShameOnYouWarwick on Twitter. 'Public outcry' In an update published on the university's website on Monday afternoon, Vice Chancellor Stuart Croft said: \"We are committed to ensuring the safety of our community. \"I have today spoken to the two young men concerned and confirm that neither of them will be returning to the university. \"I am continuing to listen to the views of students, staff and all members of our community here at Warwick and support them so that we can learn from this experience.\" The update came as one Warwick professor told student newspaper The Boar it would be \"completely untenable\" for them to resume their studies. Responding to the news of the men not returning, one of the women targeted in the Facebook group chat said: \"We still do not know how the men's leaving came about. \"It could simply be that they have decided not to come back amidst public outcry.\" Their decision to stay away is \"not a victory for the university,\" she continued, adding: \"A victory will be a complete re-examination of the disciplinary processes which allowed this failure to happen.\" The chat was first reported last summer by The Boar. Several of those involved encouraged others to rape specific students, while one of the messages said: \"Sometimes it's fun to just go wild and rape 100 girls.\" Another said: \"Rape the whole flat to teach them all [a] lesson.\" Another post included a racially offensive term and anti-Semitic language. At one point, a user wrote: \"Rape her in the street while everybody watches,\" with another responding it \"wouldn't even be unfair\". After a disciplinary investigation by the university, five students were suspended. Two were banned for 10 years, two were excluded for one year, and one was given a lifetime campus ban. In an earlier statement, Prof Christine Ennew, a member of the executive team at Warwick, said the university was clear the behaviour was \"abhorrent and unacceptable\" and it was sorry the decision to reduce the length of the ban had \"upset so many members of our own community and beyond\".

Mr Trump imposed restrictions on some foreign workers to safeguard jobs for Americans during the virus pandemic. Many of those affected by the measures are technology workers from India. Microsoft, Netflix, Twitter and other big technology companies also backed the lawsuit, which was filed last month by major US business associations. Those industry groups included the National Association of Manufacturers, which represents 14,000 firms, and America's biggest business association, the US Chamber of Commerce. The brief argued that the visa restrictions, which were announced in June, will hurt US businesses. The companies said Mr Trump’s proclamation was based on a “false assumption” that it would protect American jobs as it would mean they may now have to employ people in other countries. The brief said: “Global competitors in Canada, China, and India, among others, are pouncing at the opportunity to attract well-trained, innovative individuals. “And American businesses are scrambling to adjust, hiring needed talent to work in locations outside our nation’s borders,” it continued. They also contended that it could do irreparable damage to American businesses, workers and further hurt the already struggling US economy. Mr Trump's proclamation suspended the entry of a range of foreign workers until the end of this year. Silicon Valley reaction Shortly after the announcement in June some of America's biggest technology companies condemned the move. Facebook said the order \"uses the Covid-19 pandemic as justification for limiting immigration\" and warned: \"In reality, the move to keep highly skilled talent out of the US will make our country's recovery even more difficult\". Apple boss Tim Cook wrote on Twitter that he was \"deeply disappointed\" by the new proclamation, while Sundar Pichai, head of Alphabet - the parent company of Google and YouTube - said immigration was critical to the success of his company and the country. Amazon, which received more than 3,000 H-1B visas last year - more than any other firm - called the order \"short-sighted\". Who is affected? The Trump administration said the freeze would impact about 525,000 people. That included an estimated 170,000 people blocked by the decision to extend a ban on some new green cards - which grants permanent residence to foreigners. The White House first announced it was halting those visas in April. Existing visa holders are not expected to be affected under the new restrictions. The order also applies to H-1B visas, many of which are granted to Indian technology workers. Critics say those visas have allowed Silicon Valley companies to outsource American jobs to lower-paid foreign employees. Last year, there were about 225,000 applications competing for 85,000 spots available through the H1-B visa programme.",

The franchise will also be responsible for the West Coast Main Line. Four bidders for the South Eastern franchise have also been announced. In the case of the West Coast Partnership franchise all three bidders have a non-British partner. The winner will be \"expected to work with HS2 Ltd to launch the first service on HS2\", said the DfT. Transport Secretary Chris Grayling said the West Coast Partnership would help to \"ensure that HS2 becomes the backbone of Britain's railways\". The West Coast Partnership is a new rail franchise which will combine the current InterCity West Coast main line with the planned HS2 high-speed services. The operator will be responsible for services on both the West Coast main line from 2019 and running the initial HS2 services in 2026. The West Coast franchise is currently run by Virgin Trains as a joint venture between Stagecoach and Virgin. Analysis: Richard Westcott, transport correspondent Some interesting elements to this. There's the number of bidders for each franchise, three for the prestigious West Coast/HS2 partnership and four for the busy South Eastern franchise. A few months ago the Public Accounts Committee said it feared the pool of companies wanting to run train lines was \"dwindling\" and the subsequent lack of competition could put costs up. The government wants at least three bidders for each franchise and has managed that this time. That's because there are some relative newcomers who are after a piece of the action. The Chinese Guangshen Railway Company is part of a bid to run the flagship HS2 line, due to open in 2026 and has never bid before. And two Japanese firms who want to help run South Eastern have only dipped their toe in recently on other franchises. They join the usual suspects, including the French, Dutch and Italian state railways. The only government not allowed to bid to run British rail lines is our own. Reduce journey times First Trenitalia West Coast is a joint venture between First Rail Holdings and Italy's Trenitalia. Earlier this year it took on the C2C rail franchise. MTR West Coast Partnership is a joint venture between Hong Kong's MTR Corporation and China's Guangshen Railway Company. West Coast Partnership is a joint venture between Stagecoach Group, Virgin Holdings Ltd and France's SNCF C3. HS2 will run between London and Birmingham. Construction will begin later this year and it is expected to reduce rail times between Birmingham and London by 32 minutes. A second Y-shaped phase of HS2 will open in two stages. The line from Birmingham to Crewe will launch in 2027, with the remaining construction - which includes a spur taking HS2 to a new station at Manchester Airport - due to finish six years later. There are four companies on the shortlist for the next South Eastern franchise, which Mr Graylng described as \"one of the busiest\" in the UK, running nearly 2,000 services every weekday.",

            "input": "It was a \"light bulb moment - like being teleported back into ancient Egypt\" says Danielle Wootton, remembering her excitement at seeing Bolton Museum's Egyptian mummy for the first time. \"Suddenly there were these people that lived hundreds of years ago and in a very different way to how I lived my life in Bolton. It was just amazing to think that this other world existed, this past - who were these people and what kind of language did they speak?\" In time Danielle became a professional archaeologist and an expert on Channel 4's Time Team. Later, the same thing happened in Macclesfield, 30 miles to the south, when Rebecca Holt walked into the city's West Park Museum and saw the mummy case of a 15-year-old temple girl. \"I was probably about five and remember seeing the mummy case for the first time and it was just sheer fascination. 'Mum, what's this, what's this?' And my fascination never went away,\" she says. She kept going back and at 14 was a museum volunteer, spending hours there after school. A mentor, honorary curator Alan Hayward, taught her how to read hieroglyphs and handle objects. Now 24, she's just finished a master's degree in archaeology at Oxford University. The passions awakened by the mummies in these two young women are inherited in a very direct way from two women who lived in their localities a century earlier, and whose collections the museums were built to house - Annie Barlow in Bolton and Marianne Brocklehurst in Macclesfield. In fact, there is an even stronger link than this between Danielle Wootton and Annie Barlow. Barlow was the daughter of a wealthy mill-owner, and Danielle's own grandmother and aunt worked in the Barlow and Jones family mills. It was the money earned from the mill - which spun Egyptian cotton into Lancashire cloth - that enabled Barlow to go and explore Egyptian tombs. Marianne Brocklehurst, meanwhile, came from a silk manufacturer's family. As well as funding her own travels she paid out of her own pocket for the construction of the West Park Museum, where Rebecca found her inspiration. Her legacy includes not just the objects she brought back from Egypt but her detailed diaries and sketches of her trips down the Nile, which are some of the only records of tomb sites before they were disturbed. But there is a third northern mill heiress who made a major contribution to the UK's mummy mania - Amelia Oldroyd, whose finds are catalogued in leather-bound record books in the archive of the Bagshaw Museum in Batley. She was one of the first to explore a burial chamber at Abydos - now recreated in the museum - after it was opened in 1900 for the first time in 4,000 years. At a time when male collectors were throwing textiles aside in their hunt for large mummy cases and gold objects, Amelia brought back a rare intact cartonnage - a mummy wrapping made of papyrus with a painted representation of the dead person's face. Find out more Listen to Samira Ahmed's documentary, The Victorian Queens of Ancient Egypt, on Radio 3, on Sunday 3 February at 18:45 Or catch up afterwards online According to a third young female archaeologist, Cairo-born Heba Abd El Gawad, the female explorers had a distinctive approach, focusing not just on the grand tombs but on the intimate small portable objects. (One reason, possibly, why they tended to be dismissed as amateurs by contemporary male archaeologists.) \"Unlike displays that we see today, where there is so much focus on gold, royal figurines, everything that is very glittery, I think you can tell from their collecting patterns that they were also interested in the daily life of ordinary people,\" Heba says. She points also to their collections of cartonnage face wrappings. \"There is this intimacy in the mummy face. You can see the eyes, it's looking back at you. You can see the human being in there.\" In the present day, Danielle and Rebecca also focus on small portable antiquities and what they reveal about lived life - the make-up containers, the jewellery, the small statues. Rebecca's favourite object in the display in Macclesfield is a six-inch statuette of a queen, Queen Ti, who is wearing large ornate wig and carrying a lotus flail. \"It's one of the first artefacts whose hieroglyphs I tried to translate, so that's quite special to me,\" she says. \"The carving itself is really magnificent. I love Queen Ti - how powerful she was and how much influence she had.\" For Heba, 26, who grew up looking at the pyramids and thinking about the human labour forced to create them, while reading books on the ancient Egyptian world bought for her by her father the Victorian women themselves hold a complex fascination. They were Egyptology pioneers, who used public subscription to fundraise to bring cultural enrichment back to ordinary people. But they were also colonial looters. The diaries and lectures of these Victorian women capture the adrenalin rush of discovery. Amelia Edwards, another Victorian pioneer, founded the Egypt Exploration Fund which made possible the excavations of the famous male Egyptologist, Flinders Petrie. On one occasion she wrote about receiving a note at their camp from an artist travelling with them: \"Please come immediately - I have found the entrance to a tomb. Please bring some sandwiches.\" On rushing to join him Amelia wrote: \"All that Sunday afternoon we toiled upon our hands and knees as if for bare life, under the burning sun. More than once, when we paused for a moment's breathing space, we said to each other: 'If those at home could see us, what would they say!'\" But the Victorian women were enthusiastic participants in a kind of Wild West of collecting in the Nile valley, battling against the deeper pockets of the British Museum, the Louvre and the Penn Museum of Philadelphia, bargaining with local dealers and officials. Bribery and theft were routine. Marianne Brocklehurst's diary jokes about smuggling antiquities out. The reason that mummy case in Macclesfield is empty is because she discarded the body, possibly overboard from her boat, into the Nile, worried the smell might give away her theft. Heba says, \"Maybe for me it can be doubly sensitive being Egyptian and how we perceive the body today. Even during Pharaonic time there were texts that totally condemned tomb robbers and anyone who fiddles with mummies or does unwrapping just to take the jewellery and amulets. That was a huge offence in ancient Egypt.\" Heba believes Egyptology museums should be honest about the provenance of their collections. The new display for Brocklehurst's mummy case in Macclesfield's Silk Museum - where it has been moved from the West Park museum - makes no mention of the discarding of the body, or the fact that it was smuggled out. Mummified hands sit in a glass case with no labelling. 'I don't want to make it sound like I'm pro-returning everything. That's not what I'm after,\" says Heba. \"But what I'm after is trying to [make people think] what makes it acceptable?\" It would never have been acceptable, she points out, to exhibit British human remains this way. Rebecca feels she can still see Marianne Brocklehurst as a heroine, while acknowledging that her diary shows the unpleasant, even racist colonial attitudes of the time. Her favourite passages recount how Brocklehurst sacked the Egyptian chef on her Nile houseboat who was beating the kitchen maid, then promoted the maid to his job. \"Her priority is to protect this woman. And it's just, 'You know, we don't need this man. She [the maid] can do great.' She was just fiercely protective of the women in her life.\" The dilemma now is whether local councils hit by years of central government funding cuts, can see a value in investing in updated displays and expertise for these Egyptology collections. In a growing number of the 150 museums across the country which hold such collections there is a battle to even keep them on display. Northampton Council's controversial sale in 2014 of the ancient Egyptian Sekhemka statue (gifted to them in 1870) to raise funds, caused international outrage in the museum world, especially in Egypt. Arts Council England withdrew the city museum's accreditation. \"I guess I'm just really, really thankful that West Park Museum was here,\" says Rebecca Holt. The museum is currently rarely open. Budget cuts have hit Dewsbury museum where Amelia Oldroyd's collection was held for many years. It closed in 2016 and Bagshaw Museum in Batley, where the artefacts now are has no specialist curator and operates restricted opening hours. Bolton Museum shows what can be done with vision and money. Its sensitively refurbished Egypt Gallery tells the story of Annie Barlow. Signage in the beautifully reconstructed tomb of Thutmose III, where the unidentified male mummy is now on display, makes clear that keeping human remains is a dilemma. There is equal focus on the life of ancient Egyptians, not just their death. Danielle Wootton looks at the crowds of children and families packing \"Bolton's Egypt\" gallery in Bolton Museum. \"I'm really, really happy to see it because that's how I felt years ago. And it's really great to see that it's continuing to inspire generations.\" You may also be interested in: Seaweed has been hailed as a new superfood, and it's also found in toothpaste, medicine and shampoo.

The hope is to see it flying by 2035. Mr Williamson said the programme was aimed at ensuring the UK's continued leadership in fighter technology and control of air space in future combat: \"We have been a world leader in the combat air sector for a century, with an enviable array of skills and technology, and this strategy makes clear that we are determined to make sure it stays that way.\" He added that the UK, currently excluded from the latest fighter programme underway between France and Germany, was not against forming a partnership with other nations: \"It shows our allies that we are open to working together to protect the skies in an increasingly threatening future - and this concept model is just a glimpse into what the future could look like.\" 'Direction of travel' According to BBC defence correspondent Jonathan Beale, the Tempest looks remarkably similar to the current generation of stealth jets, including the US developed-F 35. Its sleek lines are designed to be hard to detect by radar, but unlike the current generation of jets it could also operate as a drone without a pilot. It would also be the first British-designed jet to carry laser directed energy weapons capable of shooting down aircraft and missiles.

We look forward to continuing collaborative discussions with all relevant European players.\" Earlier, the chief executive of BAE Systems, Charles Woodburn, told the BBC's Today programme that the new jet would be some time in coming. \"We already have the Typhoon platform which forms the absolute bedrock of European air defence and that'll be in service for decades to come,\" he said. He added that the inner workings of the new craft would start life within the Typhoon. \"The important thing about the new concept is that it will illustrate a direction of travel and many of those technologies that will be embodied in that will first see their service through the Typhoon. \"For example, upgrades on the avionics, upgrades in the weapons systems, upgrades in the radar will be deployed through the Typhoon and will be deployed there and then.\"",

What did the post say? The post that Hamilton shared featured a video of Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates being interviewed on US television about progress being made on a coronavirus vaccine. In the interview, Mr Gates addresses concerns about side effects reported during vaccine trials - and also dismisses unfounded rumours that the vaccines are a way of \"microchipping\" people. The account which posted the video, 'Kingbach' (which has more than 19 million followers), has added the caption: \"I remember when I told my first lie\" (along with a laughing emoji). It suggests that Bill Gates's reassurances over vaccine safety and his dismissal of the conspiracy theory are untrue. The original Instagram post shared by Hamilton remains on the site with more than one million views. BBC News has contacted Facebook - which owns Instagram - for comment. Hamilton was widely criticised on Twitter and other social media sites for sharing the post. What is the Gates conspiracy theory? Bill Gates has found himself at the centre of a number of baseless conspiracy theories during the coronavirus pandemic. Most centre on his support for and funding of vaccine research - and previous comments he's made about pandemics. False claims range from suggestions that Bill Gates and his wife Melinda created Covid-19 in order to profit from a vaccine to the unfounded conspiracy theory that the pandemic is a cover for a plan to implant trackable microchips in humans. The Gates Foundation has called the claims \"false\" and BBC Reality Check has debunked them. What has Hamilton said? In the clarification issued on his Instagram story, Hamilton said he'd \"noticed some comments\" on his original post and could understand why his thoughts \"might have been misinterpreted\". He said he had not seen the comment attached to the video he shared and \"has a lot of respect for the charity work Bill Gates does\". He added: \"I also want to be clear that I'm not against a vaccine and no doubt it will be important in the fight against coronavirus\" - although he did express concerns about potential side effects and how a vaccine might be funded.

While at sea, it set records for travelling between Australia and England, but new technology and a devastating fire almost led to its end. \"There have been tribulations but also many instances of good fortune,\" said curator Louise MacFarlane. Cutty Sark was built for a cost of £16,150 and was launched from Dumbarton on 22 November 1869. It first departed London for Shanghai on 16 February 1870, taking large amounts of wine, spirits and beer and returning with 1.3 million lbs (600,000 kg) of tea - enough for more than 200 million cups. Yet its service began at a time when clippers were in decline as steamships took over the seas. The ships were generally built to last for 30 years but as its contemporaries disappeared Cutty Sark \"survived through its adaptability\", according to Ms MacFarlane. For several years it carried a variety of cargo around the world and began setting records as the fastest ship of the era when bringing Australian wool to the UK. Following a decline in profits, the ship was sold to a Portuguese company in 1895 and gradually fell into disrepair. Cutty Sark's return to the UK in 1922 was all a matter of luck. Now called the Maria do Amparo, it arrived in Falmouth, Cornwall, having been damaged in a storm, but while there it happened to be recognised by retired sea captain Wilfred Dowman, who vowed to save it for the nation. \"Had he not spotted the ship then, it probably never would have survived,\" said Ms MacFarlane. Cutty Sark in numbers Cutty Sark's arrival in Greenwich, where it has been based for several decades, also had a lot to do with good fortune. The dry dock had been meant for HMS Implacable, an 18th Century ship that had survived the Battle of Trafalgar but was scuttled off the Isle of Wight after World War II. There was even an element of luck in the headline-attracting blaze of May 2007, which ripped through the ship's three decks as the fire reached temperatures of about 1,000 C (1,832 F). \"It was devastating but a conservation project had already begun, meaning the majority of the material had been taken out. \"As a result less than 2% of the original ship was lost,\" the curator explained. The attraction reopened in 2012 and has had more than a million visitors since then. Numerous events are taking place across the weekend to celebrate its 150th birthday, while residents of Greenwich and Dumbarton can visit the site for free. But the work to maintain Cutty Sark for another 150 years goes on. \"It leaks, it's exposed to the elements. It's a ship which will always need attention,\" Ms MacFarlane said.

But he said Beijing - which has previously complained it is a victim of hacking - was \"ready to strengthen co-operation with the US side on this issue\". US national security adviser Susan Rice had on Monday said Chinese-backed hacking was undermining long-term economic co-operation between the US and China \"and it needs to stop\". While in Seattle, Mr Xi will hold talks with some of the most prominent US technology and business leaders, and will visit the vast Boeing aeroplane factory in Everett, Washington state. Slowing down Also expected to be on the agenda later this week is China's increasing territorial assertiveness in South East Asia. China claims a vast swathe of territory in the South China Sea in particular, angering many of its neighbours who had competing claims, and in recent months it has been carrying out land reclamation in the area. At the same time, China has been increasing defence spending and upgrading its military capabilities. The US has raised concerns with China about the build-up of tensions in the region and about the possible impact on freedom of navigation. In the Wall Street Journal interview, Mr Xi said China's work would actually improve navigation, but did not say how. The visit also comes as China's economy, which has grown rapidly in recent years, is beginning to slow, causing global concern about a fall in demand from the world's second largest economy. Recent dramatic losses on the Chinese stock markets, despite government interventions, have led to questions over how well the government is managing the slowdown. Mr Xi will be hosted at the White House for a state dinner on 25 September, and is due to give a speech to the UN General Assembly in New York on 28 September.",

Captain Paul Le Romancer and First Officer Yves Tournon were given 18-month and 12-month suspended sentences for manslaughter in 2013. French prosecutors are appealing against the sentences. Lost blood At the inquest, rescuers described finding Mr Lesaulnier face down in the water. He was not wearing a life jacket but had lost three litres of blood from a blow to the abdomen, so a life jacket would not have saved him. Forensic pathologist Basil Purdue said the fisherman would have lost consciousness almost immediately. The inquest heard the Condor Vitesse was travelling too fast in poor visibility and officers had turned off the foghorn because they thought the engines could be heard further than the horn. Captain Peter Moore, Jersey's search and rescue mission co-ordinator, read from the investigators' reports, which said the Vitesse crew's actions were \"disturbing\" and broke regulations. The reports claimed Mr Lesaulnier could have been alerted sooner had he heard the fog signal. The inquest also heard the crew were distracted and chatting when they should have been concentrating on watching the radar. A Condor Ferries representative told the inquest the firm has reviewed procedures since the crash. Inquests in Jersey record narrative verdicts, which do not apportion blame.",

The officer was giving evidence at the trial of Mr Cairney, 77, and Avril Jones, 59, at the High Court in Glasgow. They deny murdering Miss Fleming between December 1999 and January 2000. Mr Cairney and Ms Jones had become carers for her after her father died. Margaret - who would now be 38 - has allegedly not been seen for more than 19 years. Jurors heard how police asked during the meeting for a recent photo of Margaret but were told she \"did not like her picture taken\". 'Very irate' Det Sgt Martin called at the property on 28 October, 2016 after a colleague was \"quite concerned something was not right\". The visit was in connection with the claiming of benefits. Det Sgt Martin recalled: \"On entering, I spoke to Mr Cairney who became very irate.\" The officer said the accused swore at him and asked him to leave. Ms Jones was also there, but was said to have allowed Mr Cairney to \"do most of the talking\". The detective told how they were trying to find out if Margaret was staying at the house. Det Sgt Martin: \"Avril Jones made us aware there was a birth certificate and a bank book from 1997.\" Prosecutor Iain McSporran QC asked the officer: \"This was 2016... anything more recent offered to you?\" He replied: \"We did highlight that was a number of years ago... but nothing was offered whatsoever. \"We were told that Margaret kept her belongings with her at all times and did not like her picture taken.\" 'Evasive' The detective added he found the pair to be \"very evasive\". Police were shown a bedroom that Mr Cairney said was Margaret's. But, on being quizzed about Margaret again, Mr Cairney allegedly swore once more and told them to leave. Edward Cairney and Avril Jones also deny defrauding £182,000 in benefits and attempting to defeat the ends of justice by claiming Margaret was alive. The hearing ended earlier on Monday due to Mr Cairney's ill-health. His QC Thomas Ross told jurors that he had fallen out of his wheelchair on Sunday, and the judge adjourned the trail until Tuesday.",

The president said Mr Castro, whose grandmother arrived in the US from Mexico as an orphan, had \"lived the American dream\" and would work to ensure others followed the same path.

He selected Mr Castro to deliver the keynote address at the 2012 Democratic National Convention, a function Mr Obama himself filled in 2004 when he was running for US Senate. Analysts say the San Antonio mayor has been mentioned as a potential running-mate for Hillary Clinton in 2016, if she decides to run for president, and a cabinet-level position would give him a national platform. The outgoing secretary of the department of housing and urban development, Mr Donovan, will be elevated to director of the White House office of management and budget.

He said DNA testing, not available in the 1960s, would prove his innocence. However, Jersey's Attorney General's office said that none of the agencies to whom the forensic samples were sent in 1966 had retained them. 'I want justice' Joy was found in a field with multiple stab wounds, and had been sexually assaulted. Norton believes his sister's dress could hold clues to who murdered her, and wants the Jersey authorities to track it down. He claims that a lie detector test he passed proves his innocence, and he and his solicitor are calling for Jersey police to find the dress. \"I want a DNA test to clear me completely and I want justice for my sister - justice for Joy,\" Norton said. \"I'm not angry and I don't want to pillory somebody, I just want justice. \"Anger and all that is bad for you because it just upsets you and makes you bad. I'm not after vengeance.\" 'Went to pieces' Norton believes the person responsible for his sister's death is the same person who killed Finnish au pair Tuula Hoeoek in 1966. Ms Hoeoek is thought to have been picked up from a bus stop in Georgetown, Jersey, on New Year's Eve, and taken to a field and beaten to death with a weapon. He said there were similarities between the two murders, and no-one had ever been caught for killing Ms Hoeoek. Speaking of his time in jail, Norton said: \"It was horrible - for the first six years I went to pieces... I got to the stage where I wanted to commit suicide. \"Obviously I didn't have the courage to do it - it takes a lot of courage to do a thing like that - and after that I just had to pull myself up and work my way to where I am today.\" Norton was released from jail in 1996 but said he could have been paroled years before if he had shown remorse - something he refused to do for a crime he says he did not commit. He said he had been working to try to track down DNA evidence ever since his release. A spokesman for the Attorney General in Jersey said Norton and his solicitor had been informed what material still existed. \"They were told that none of the agencies to whom the forensic samples were sent in 1966 still retained the samples. \"According to the information which we have, it does not appear that there is any material still in existence which would be suitable for DNA examination.\" A spokesman for Jersey Police said the force was not reopening the case.",

While in Cherhill Close, Clifton, Nottingham, Ryan Beales, has promised his neighbours he will put up more flags on their street every time the Three Lions win.

Plenty of pubs are also getting in on the action, like the Tom Hoskins in Leicester, which appears to have put up the flag of every World Cup team, as well as plenty of crosses of St George. On a hillside in Chelmorton, Derbyshire, stones have been sprayed white and moved to create a St George's flag and the word \"England\". The landowners have put the display in place for every major tournament England have played in since 2006. And so while lots of might be dreaming of World Cup glory, England could of course only have two more games to play - and we'll have to wait four more years for another chance at sporting immortality.

He told the hearing the 18-year-old from Llangollen, Denbighshire, who was in uniform and holding a rifle \"looked down in the dumps\". Pte James stopped him at the gates to the Surrey barracks for an identity check as he drove to work. She was later found dead with a bullet wound to the head - one of four recruits to die at the base in seven years. On Tuesday, the inquest heard civilian driver John Rowney was at the gate at 08:00 that day. 'Nothing untoward' He had exchanged a joke with Pte James and found her to be \"bubbly\" and \"happy\". But, just 25 minutes later he returned to the gate to be told a soldier had been shot. Cpl Wilkinson had arrived at the gate between 08:15 GMT and 08:30 GMT on 27 November, and noted Pte James's demeanour was very different. \"She looked upset, did not seem altogether with it. She seemed miserable,\" he told the hearing. \"I said something to the effect of 'Cheer up, it might never happen'.\" The inquest heard Cpl Wilkinson was not officially spoken to about the incident until 2003. He said he had never concealed the fact he may have been the last person to see the soldier alive but had not been approached for a statement before that. Cpl Wilkinson also told the inquest he could not remember the standing orders on how to hold weapons and if they should have been loaded - but he would have noticed anything untoward. A colleague, Sgt Phil Wood, arrived on foot a short time after him and found the gate unmanned and unguarded. He told the inquest earlier it was \"unusual\" for the gate to be unmanned, because someone was normally there to check passes. 'Sheepish civilian' \"From what I could see, [the gate] was slightly ajar. The barrier was up,\" he said. He said he telephoned the guard room about it and was told they were dealing with it. The inquest heard Maj Peter Harris cycled to work and arrived at the base between 08:10 GMT and 08:15 GMT, when he was also checked by Pte James. But Maj Harris said while Pte James was properly dressed for duty and had a weapon strapped across her, there was a \"sheepish\" young civilian man standing behind her. He said he could not talk about the condition of the weapon and whether it was loaded because he did not see it. But he said the man should not have been there. Who were the Deepcut four? Background to the deaths and timeline of events He said: \"I ascertained that he should not have been there and asked him, was he chatting her up? \"He was in civilian clothes. It was just unusual. He should not have been there. He said he was just passing, which I took as a bit of a limp excuse.\" Maj Harris said he told the man - who the inquest then heard was actually Pte Paul Wilkinson, one of Pte James's boyfriends - that he should not be there, he would be interfering with Pte James's duties and he should leave. The man agreed that he would leave. He said he did not look back to see if the man was leaving but having \"given him a lawful command he should do as he was told\". 'Challenging environment' Alison Foster, for the James family, asked Maj Harris whether it was possible a sentry on guard duty would have a magazine strapped to their weapon. Maj Harris replied: \"It is possible.\" Captain Charles Whatoff told the inquest the environment at Deepcut was \"challenging\". An adjutant to the commanding officer at Deepcut in 1995, he said there was a welfare register for soldiers who might have been having difficulties and Pte James was not on it. He said recruits who had done their basic training at Pirbright were coming through at \"quite a rate\" and this was putting considerable strain on staff and resources. Captain Whatoff said effort was being put in to manage the soldiers with the aim of seeing how people who were finding the time difficult could be helped. He said: \"I do recall that Cheryl was not on the list, was not the focus. This was a great shock to everyone.\" The hearing was adjourned until Tuesday.",

            "input": "By Dr John Nilsson-WrightChatham House Is there anything the US could give North Korea that would make it end its nuclear and missile programmes? Given the escalating war of words between the US and North Korea, and Donald Trump's warning of \"fire and fury\" if Kim Jong-un overtly threatens the United States or launches missiles against the US territory of Guam, it is unclear how useful diplomacy is as tool for moderating regional tensions. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and other senior Trump administration officials have stressed the importance of diplomacy, and even Mr Trump has in the past offered to talk to Mr Kim, but there are no signs that the North Koreans are open to dialogue. Recent informal track two level talks with North Korean officials in Europe suggest that Pyongyang is single-mindedly focused on continuing with its missile and nuclear-weapons testing programmes. Strikingly at the Asean Regional Forum meeting in Manila recently, there was no meeting between Mr Tillerson and Ri Yong-ho, the North Korean foreign minister, and a proposal for talks between Seoul and Pyongyang offered by Kang Kyung-wha, the South Korean foreign minister, was summarily rebuffed by the North Koreans. In principle, there are incentives that the US could offer the North, including talks on a peace treaty ending the Korean War, preliminary steps towards diplomatic recognition (such as the establishment of a US liaison mission in Pyongyang), or an agreement on conventional arms reductions on the peninsula, but these are at best long-term objectives. The North's repeated violations of past diplomatic agreements with the US has eroded any appetite for concessions in Washington where there is deep-seated distrust of the North on both sides of the political aisle and an assumption that pressure, via the latest round of tougher UN sanctions targeting the North's mineral and food exports, and restrictions on North Korean overseas labour, is the best way of bringing Pyongyang to heel. How worried should you be? Reality Check: Are Trump's assumptions right? Is North Korea's ultimate or unswayable goal the possession of a nuclear deterrent? Since coming to power in late 2011, Kim Jong-un's priorities have been focused consistently on two simple objectives of military modernization and delivering economic prosperity for the North Korean public. The North's nuclear aspirations date from the 1960s and are consistent with the regime's desire for political and military autonomy in the face of opposition not only from its traditional enemies such as the United States, Japan and South Korea, but also over the objections of its historical partners such as China and Russia. What damage could North Korea do? Kim Jong-un, North Korea's supreme commander Why? Part of the North's motivation is a rational assessment of the country's strategic interests. The experience of Libya and Iraq is a reminder to Pyongyang that the only guarantee of national survival is the possession of a credible weapons of mass destruction capability. While Washington has expressed no \"hostile intent\" to the North, Pyongyang maintains that the United States, as a conventionally superior and nuclear armed power, with 28,000 troops in South Korea, and a policy of maintaining a first-use nuclear option, represents a clear threat to the country. Mr Kim's nuclear and missile testing ambitions are also an expression of identity politics. The legitimacy of the Kim dynasty's political leadership is rooted in a narrative of defence against an implacably hostile United States. The 1950-53 Korean War, framed in North Korean propaganda as the result of direct US aggression, is used to depict the United States to the North Korean people as an adversary intent on destroying the country. For the country's older generation that recall US actions during the war, when virtually every urban centre in the North was obliterated by American bombing, this narrative is a convincing one and is routinely reinforced for the wider population in the state's daily political messages. Mr Trump's recent bellicose public statements are a propaganda gift to Kim Jong-un, allowing him to bolster his standing as the nation's commander in chief and protector of the country. Can the US defend itself? Can North Korea nuclear threat focus minds? Could a nuclear-armed North Korea co-exist with the US? The North's accelerated missile testing campaign and last year's two successful nuclear tests have materially enhanced the country's deterrent capabilities. Recent intelligence reports from the US have suggested that the country may have as many as 60 nuclear bombs (a figure disputed by some analysts) and its long-range missile tests of 4 and 28 July indicate that the North may have the capacity to hit parts of the United States. A recent report in the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists has questioned the extent to which this improved missile capability genuinely allows the North to deploy a nuclear warhead against the US, but there is little doubt that Pyongyang has made dramatic progress in the last year in securing full de-facto membership of the nuclear club. Washington, however, has made it clear that it will not recognize or tolerate such a development. To do so would offer a propaganda victory to the North, critically undermine America's relations with its key regional allies - Japan and South Korea - prompt a destabilizing arms race in the region, and destabilize the global nuclear non-proliferation regime. Trump's team mixed messages Who said what: Trump or Kim? Is any of what North Korea wants realistic? Pyongyang's priority is to push ahead aggressively with testing, both of its missiles and its nuclear weapons, in an effort to solidify its deterrent capabilities. For Mr Kim, this makes sense as means of boosting his political authority and legitimacy at home. He can take comfort from China's apparent reluctance to impose crippling economic restrictions on the North, despite its recent support for tougher UN sanctions. He can also calculate rationally that ultimately the United States, as many experienced observers are arguing, will accept the need to negotiate some form of intermediate freeze in the North's military capabilities in the hope that this will stabilize the strategic situation while keeping the door open to future disarmament. By then, Mr Kim may hope he will be able to secure a range of concessions from the US and South Korea, whether in the form of economic assistance, conventional arms reductions, or more importantly the political respect and status as an independent, sovereign state that the North has long craved. The wild card in the current situation is how far President Trump's rhetorical brinkmanship will deter the North from pushing ahead with its missile testing programme. The North Korean military has threatened to test fire four intermediate range missiles in the vicinity of the US military facilities on Guam later this month. No US President could tolerate a direct attack, but a test launch in the international waters close to the island would arguably represent a \"grey zone\" contingency that would require a more nuanced response, stopping short of full-blown military conflict. Discussions of the current stand-off have focused on the parallels with the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962 and the strategic judgment of the US president at the time, John F Kennedy. His caution in seeking to avoid nuclear war was shaped by his reading of Barbara Tuchman's book The Guns of August and its insights into the lessons of World War One. It is ironic and telling that once again August is a time of acute strategic risk and uncertainty, when the rhetoric, assessments and actions of national leaders are likely to carry profound significance for regional and global security.

The oil-rich nation has seen its income plummet as the impact of the pandemic has forced down global energy prices. The kingdom first introduced VAT two years ago as part of efforts to cut its reliance on world crude oil markets. Saudi Arabia's state news agency said VAT will increase from 5% to 15% as of 1 July, while the cost of living allowance will be suspended from 1 June. The allowance of 1,000 riyals ($267; £217) per month to state employees was introduced in 2018 to help offset increased financial burdens including VAT and a rise in the price of petrol. \"These measures are painful but necessary to maintain financial and economic stability over [the] medium to long term... and overcome the unprecedented coronavirus crisis with the least damage possible,\" finance minister Mohammed al-Jadaan said in the statement. The announcement came after state spending outstripped income, pushing the kingdom into a $9bn (£7.2bn) budget deficit in the first three months of the year. That's as oil revenues in the period fell by almost a quarter from a year earlier to $34bn, pulling down total revenues by 22%. At the same time Saudi Arabia's central bank saw its foreign reserves fall in March at their fastest rate in at least two decades and to their lowest level since 2011. The measures to fight the impact of coronavirus are expected to slow the pace and scale of economic reforms launched by Crown Price Mohammed bin Salman. Last year Saudi Arabia raised a record $25.6bn in the initial public offering of shares in state-owned oil giant Aramco in Riyadh.

However Chatham House argued that exploiting the energy source elsewhere in the world will cause serious problems. It says: Hopes over future shale production - along with the impact of the 2008-09 recession - have pushed current gas prices down to levels that make investment in more conventional gas sources uneconomic.

The month-long measures are due to come into force on Thursday until 2 December, but may last longer. BBC News has spoken to people across England about how they will cope with the second lockdown. Some say they are better prepared, others will continue to diversify their business and several are hoping for more financial support from the government. 'A devastating blow' Food wholesale owner Richard Strongman said the announcement was \"a bit of a devastating blow\". Mr Strongman, who is based in Lymington, Hampshire, said: \"I think we saw it coming, but [it's] a bit of a body blow for the hospitality industry and in turn that affects us at the wholesaler. \"We depend on hospitality for about 80% of our trade, the other 20% is care homes, hospitals, schools and we need the hospitality trade to help balance the cost base.\" He said he welcomes the extension of the furlough scheme, but said it needs to be extended further to give businesses \"a fighting chance\". \"It's been incredibly hard, when the first lockdown came around, we lost 85% of our trade overnight, we pivoted very quickly to offer a home delivery service which helped a little bit. \"We were just getting back up to speed now and now we've been dealt another side swipe and it's just so hard to plan.\" 'You build yourself up' Ian Arrowsmith and Gemma Peake, were due to get married on Friday at a registry office in Crewe, having already changed their wedding plans and deciding on a smaller, local ceremony. Under the new restrictions, weddings and civil partnership ceremonies will not be able to take place except in exceptional circumstances. \"We don't want to have to wait again, you build yourself up to the moment,\" Mr Arrowsmith said. \"We just want to get married.\" \"It's how they decide, elite sport can continue, schools are open, you can have wakes of up to 30 people, manufacturing and construction are being encouraged to stay open, but no weddings, it seems crazy to me,\" the sales manager said. \"There are people who have invested more expense, for a lot of people it will be a big emotional struggle.\" 'If anything a relief' Jon Best, who owns a B&B close to Gatwick Airport in Crawley, West Sussex, said the announcement had provided some much-needed certainty. Like many businesses in the area, he was struggling to stay afloat due to a sharp drop in airline passenger numbers. \"It's been dire, we had no customers, but at least with the lockdown we know where we stand,\" the 54-year-old said. \"If anything it was a relief yesterday,\" he added. He is hopeful the lockdown will reduce the spread of the virus, allowing people to travel again when restrictions are due to be eased in early-December. \"Let's hope for a Christmas rush,\" he said. \"One good month could clear a lot of debt.\" 'We're hanging on' Andrew Carter, co-founder of artisan brewers Fell, in Flookburgh, Cumbria, said they had been preparing for such an announcement, but things were \"obviously going to be difficult\". \"The main thing is finding out what additional support we'll be getting, until we see that I'm not sure where we are at.\" As well as the brewing side, the company runs two bars in Kendal and Penrith. He said: \"Our business model for these relies on late night weekend trade and that's been cut short, and we have also been unable to run music events, so it's been very hard for us to adapt to and absorb that. \"We're hanging on there, but we have been struggling a bit.\" Mr Carter said he was concerned about a paragraph in the guidance which said hospitality venues could provide takeaways and delivery services, but \"takeaways of alcohol will not be allowed\". \"I'm not sure the brewery will survive if we cannot offer a takeout and delivery service - it's how we survived last time.\" 'A rocky first year' Dave Gray, owner of Plant vegan restaurant in Sadler Gate, Derby, had been gearing up to celebrate the first anniversary of its opening on 23 November. \"It's definitely been a rocky first year,\" he said. \"I don't think many businesses would have lasted. We've had to be quite flexible and we've got a lot of loyal customers, which has been a massive help. \"We've felt another national lockdown has been inevitable for a while so had already started working on some projects for if it did happen.\" Mr Gray said he will start a pizza and cocktail delivery service and will continue to produce a range of gin liqueurs. \"But it's not ideal at all. I'm waiting to see if the government will help out hospitality businesses like last time. \"We only had one month rent free last time around so the hospitality grant only went so far.\" 'We've done everything we should have' Lorraine Arnold, who runs Paignton Pier Chippy, said she was \"devastated\" at the news of having to close. \"I really thought we'd been so well behaved down here in the south west,\" she said. \"We've followed the rules, we've behaved.\" \"Everything has gone as it should have and now we've been slapped in the face and here we are, back to square one.\" She said she had bought a different business in Torquay in March, which was then unable to open until July. Mrs Arnold said explained she is due to begin a \"seven figure refurbishment\" this week, but this was now \"all up in the air, in jeopardy\". \"We've just got to sit down and work out exactly where we go next.\" She added she was not sure it would be viable to keep on all of her 65 staff from the summer, despite the extension of the furlough scheme. 'No great surprise' Lou Wellman co-owns Boheme Coffee Lounge & Bar in Poole, like others he said the second lockdown has come \"as no great surprise\" saying he \"felt better prepared to deal with it this time\". \"I think it's preferable to the uncertainty of the tier system and it perhaps has a better chance of controlling the number of cases, but I have serious doubts about its effectiveness while schools and universities stay open as they seem to be the main source of positive tests. \"Thanks to the furlough scheme, we were able to retain all of our staff and with the idle time, managed to take a good look at our business and learn where we could be more efficient to help cope with the downturn in business when we reopened in July.\" Mr Wellman said his main goal is \"take care of our staff\" and keep them employed. 'Disappointing and frustrating' Christian Clark, works in theatre lighting in London's West End, he said the announcement from a theatre perspective is \"disappointing and frustrating\". \"Shows affected will have to be postponed or cancelled once again and freelancers with work booked for November are suddenly at another loss of income.\" He said with self-employed scheme not matching the rate of the furlough extension, many will feel \"incredibly let down\". \"Like other affected industries, theatre cannot be turned off and on like a tap,\" Mr Clark said. \"Hopefully December can bring a return to some sort of stability again.\" 'Gyms classed as essential' Sam Gough is a freelance personal trainer in Dorchester, Dorset, and firmly believes gyms should remain open. He said: \"I think gyms should have been classed as an essential business because of the great impact on mental and physical health it will cause when they're shut. \"I am positive that gyms are a safe place to be in during this time, with the correct restrictions in place, alongside a strict cleaning schedule. \"I really hope that the decision of closing the gyms changes soon,\" he added. Vaani Kaur, a 29-year-old teacher from Harrow, agrees with Mr Gough's stance, she said: \"Having a full lockdown isn't a good idea right now - the winter months are extra challenging on everyone's mental health. \"The full closure of gyms is wrong, it's a key factor in battling things like anxiety and depression and is needed in a year when these are at all-time high. They have been operating safely and no data has shown it has caused a spike in cases.\"",

            "input": "By Helen BriggsHealth reporter, BBC News A small study of post-menopausal women found those on HRT performed better in tests measuring how the left and right hand sides of the brain work together. Psychologists at Durham University say it mirrors the brain activity of younger women who naturally produce the sex hormones in their bodies. The research is published in the journal Hormones and Behavior. The study involved 62 post-menopausal women aged between 46 and 71. Of these, 36 were on hormone therapy, while the rest were in the control group. All were right-handed. They were asked to carry out fine motor coordination tasks, such as tapping buttons with different fingers using both their left and right hands. The researchers say both hands performing together equally was a sign that the two brain halves were interacting more. This was found to be more pronounced in the women on HRT. It suggests sex hormones open the gateway between the left and right sides of the brain, encouraging interaction between the two halves, says the Durham team. Lead researcher, Dr Markus Hausmann, said: \"Sex hormones are powerful in changing the way the brain is organised, and can affect not only sexual and reproductive behaviour but also cognitive functioning. \"The tests with postmenopausal women show that hormone therapy can help both sides of the brain pull their weight, much in the same way as the brain organises itself in younger women. \"We hope to establish whether sex hormones can make the brain less vulnerable to the effects of stroke and other injuries by 'sharing' the load between the two hemispheres as women get older. However, more research is needed on this.\" Dr Daryl O'Connor, a psychologist at the University of Leeds, said they were \"potentially very important findings which indicate that the influence of sex hormones may extend beyond sexual and reproductive behaviours\". He said previous studies had shown sex hormones may protect brain functions like spatial ability and memory. But it was too early to say whether HRT, in this context, would yield benefits for women in terms of stroke or other injuries, he added. He said: \"It is essential that the current results are replicated and that researchers explore how these changes in brain functioning may actually translate into clinically meaningful health benefits for older women.\" It is thought that around one million women aged over 50 in the UK take HRT to relieve the symptoms of the menopause. The medication contains oestrogen, levels of which drop during the menopause leading to hot flushes, low sex drive, mood changes, bone thinning and night sweats. Some types of HRT also contain progesterone.",

This imbalance inevitably exacerbates corruption.\" He added: \"That's why we are so determined to make sure the foundation only funds projects where we know the donations people give us will make a real difference on the ground. \"We want to fund small projects with low overheads and visible results.\" The couple visited the Afghan Educational Children's Circus - a project which uses entertainment to educate children on issues such as land mine awareness and drug misuse. The foundation has given £9,135 to provide meals for the children for a year. This encourages them to attend and also helps tackle malnourishment, which it said was rife among children. Mr Norgrove said: \"This is a really inspiring project and it was great to see kids singing and dancing, escaping from such a battle-scarred neighbourhood with razor wire topping every wall.\" Other projects the couple visited included a women's safe house. This provides counselling for abused women, such as women released from prison, those on the run from families and acid attack victims. More than £50,000 worth of grants have been given to projects in the lastest round of funding from the foundation.",

The Nursing and Midwifery Council has now issued a three-year and one-year caution respectively, which are on file for patients to see during the periods. The pair's employer has apologised. Following a five-day Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) panel hearing, Shrewsbury and Telford Hospitals NHS Trust (SATH) said: \"We thoroughly investigated the events surrounding this tragic death and fully accept that there was a failure to fully follow guidelines on [bleeding before birth], and for this we are extremely sorry.\" Neither woman was accused of causing the death of the boy, four days after he was born. The chair of the NMC panel, Philip Sayce, said he hoped the sanctions sent \"a message to the public and the profession about the standards required of a registered midwife\". He added he hoped procedural changes made at the hospital following the death had \"provided some comfort to the family\". Charges against Ms Jones and Ms Lacey found proven at an earlier hearing highlighted how they did not communicate enough to ensure the mother's continuous care. On Monday, Ms Jones said \"poor handover meant that observations were missed\" - which she described as \"completely unacceptable\". A new standardised handover system is being trialled. Maternity care is being reviewed at SATH, where more than 250 families have come forward with questions or concerns.

Ahead of the launch of its \"Don't Be A Space Invader\" campaign, Highways England surveyed 1,109 motorists and found that one in four had tailgated another driver in the last three months. \"It makes the driver in front feel targeted and victimised, distracting their attention from the road ahead and making them more likely to make a mistake,\" Richard Leonard, head of road safety at Highways England, said.

It was identified as the biggest single bugbear that drivers have about other road users. Tailgating caused one in eight casualties in 2016 on motorways and A-roads in England, government statistics show. Former Formula 1 world champion Nigel Mansell is backing the campaign, describing tailgating as \"a driving habit I utterly deplore\". \"Not only is it aggressive and intimidating, but there is absolutely no upside to it,\" he said. \"You will not get to your destination faster, you are not a skilled driver for doing it, and you are putting so many innocent people at risk\".

            "input": "Some of these have been related to Pakistan's controversial blasphemy laws, while others appear to have a political motive. How many Christians are there in Pakistan? Pakistan is overwhelmingly Muslim but after Hindus, Christians are the second-largest minority group, representing about 1.6% of the population. The southern metropolis of Karachi has a large Christian population and there are countless Christian villages in the Punjab heartland and cities of Lahore and Faisalabad. There is also a sizeable population in the deeply conservative north-western province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, particularly in Peshawar city. Pre-partition Pakistan was a much more diverse place but tolerance has declined as society has been increasingly Islamicised and more homogenous. Before partition minorities made up 15% of the population, now they fall short of 4%. Are they an influential group? The majority of Pakistan's Christians are descended from low-caste Hindus who converted under the British Raj, in part to escape the caste system. Many provided labour in garrison towns and every cantonment city has an area known as Lal Kurti, traditionally the area where Christians reside. But Christian communities remains in the poorest sector of society doing menial jobs. Entire villages in parts of Punjab are Christian with inhabitants working as labourers and farmhands. There are sections of the Christian community that are well off. They came over from Goa under the Raj, are more educated and mainly settled in Karachi. What all of them share is a sense of vulnerability, with a number of wealthier Christians leaving to settle in Canada and Australia as the climate of intolerance in Pakistan becomes more unbearable. Why are they being attacked? Muslims and Christians mostly co-exist amiably enough without frequent outbreaks of animosity. But accusations of blasphemy have also often led to mob violence against Christians, while militant Islamists have also targeted the community. Recent attacks include: Since the 1990s, scores of Christians have also been convicted for desecrating the Koran or blaspheming against Prophet Muhammad, although experts say most accusations are fuelled by personal disputes. While most were awarded death sentences by lower courts, those sentences were often set aside by higher courts due to lack of evidence, or because the complainants were found to be targeting the community for economic benefits. In 2012, a Christian girl, Rimsha Masih, became the first non-Muslim to be acquitted in a blasphemy case when it was discovered that she had been framed by a local Muslim cleric. Perhaps the best known example is that of Asia Bibi, a Christian woman from a Punjab village who in 2010 got into an altercation with some Muslim women and was later accused by them of having blasphemed. Salman Taseer, then the governor of Punjab who stated that Pakistan's strict blasphemy law had been abused in the case, was later murdered by his Islamist bodyguard, Mumtaz Qadri. Qadri was found guilty and executed in February 2016, prompting mass protests. Pakistan's minister for minority affairs and a Christian leader, Shahbaz Bhatti, was assassinated in 2011 by the Taliban for speaking out against the law. Are there any other reasons? Some of the violence is directly related to the American-led war in Afghanistan, so it has an expressly political motive. Months after the US-led coalition attacked Afghanistan in late 2001, a grenade attack on a chapel inside a Christian mission hospital Taxila city killed four people. A couple of months later, gunmen executed six workers of a Christian charity in their Karachi office. These incidents, though isolated, have continued through the years. Attacks on Pakistan's Christian and Hindu minorities could be part of a militant plan to send a message to the West or embarrass Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif when he appears to be too friendly to the West.",

The lessons, which are taught to groups of no more than three, have been funded by the government's catch-up premium. Head teacher Neil Wilkinson said it was important pupils did not fall behind. 'Spark of learning' Mr Wilkinson said: \"About 40-50% of our pupils don't have access to a device or internet or the opportunity to do home learning in a virtual way. \"We were using paper lessons to send home to pupils, but we feel a teacher is really important - they are the driver and the catalyst.\" He said the school had accessed 200 computers via a government initiative but it still was not enough. \"Therefore we needed to find a way and means to engage these pupils so they don't fall further behind,\" he said. Other pupils are able to connect to the lessons from home, with about 120 taking part in the weekend lessons. Deputy head Chloe Woodhouse-Meehan, who set up the Saturday school, said: \"As a teacher, the thing I miss is having pupils in front of me in the classroom. \"You want to see that spark of learning. We are missing that. \"You can see students that do have access to devices and those that don't. What we're trying to do is make sure the gap doesn't widen.\" According to Ofcom, between 1.1 million and 1.8 million children in the UK do not have access to a laptop, desktop or tablet at home. Charities including Barnardo's have expressed concern about the digital divide. Barnardo's chief executive Javed Khan said: \"The lack of devices and affordable internet access means many children already at a disadvantage are falling further behind.\" Funding for the initiative came via a £1bn government scheme, which is aimed at making up for lost teaching during the pandemic.

It said rising food and fuel costs, static income and unemployment had contributed to the increase. Working with local churches and communities, the trust said its aim was to open a food bank in every town. In Bodmin, Cornwall, a drop-in food bank hosted by the town's Christian Fellowship, which has been running once a week, has taken the decision to double the number of weekly sessions to keep up with demand. Jacqui White, a project manager for the trust's Wadebridge branch, said it was an \"ongoing\" problem for people living in an area with low incomes, high rents and seasonal work. \"It's a difficult time for everybody - even a lot of people who are in work are just not making ends meet,\" she told BBC News. \"About 90% of the time they can, but then if they get a big bill in for something - a boiler that's broken down or a car that's broken down - they just can't meet it.\" Ms White said since it began operating almost four years ago, demand had doubled year-on-year. Food for the banks are donated by local people and given out by volunteers in exchange for a voucher, which clients can be given by local agencies such as doctors or schools.

In England, small business minister Paul Scully said the vaccine would be rolled out \"in the next few days\". Under-30s in the UK are to be offered an alternative to the AstraZeneca vaccine because of concerns about a link between it and rare blood clots. It comes after a review by the drugs regulator Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) which found, by the end of March, 79 people in the UK suffered rare blood clots after vaccination - 19 of whom died. The side-effects are however, extremely rare and the vaccine's effectiveness was proven, the MHRA said. European regulators have also concluded that \"unusual blood clots with low blood platelets should be listed as very rare side effects\" of the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine. \"The reported combination of blood clots and low blood platelets is very rare, and the overall benefits of the vaccine in preventing Covid-19 outweigh the risks of side effects,\" the European Medicines Agency (EMA) said. The Welsh government said it was \"considering the details\" of the announcement, but did not \"envisage a delay to the roll-out of our vaccine programme in Wales\". Miss Taylor, from Ammanford, received the first Moderna jab at the Glangwili Hospital in Carmarthen. Speaking afterwards the 24-year-old, who works at a further education college, said: \"I'm very excited and very happy. \"I'm an unpaid carer for my grandmother so it is very important to me that I get it, so I can care for her properly and safely. \"My grandmother has had her first dose and she is going for her second dose on Saturday.\" Miss Taylor said she only found out on Tuesday evening that she was to be the first in the UK to receive the jab by Moderna, an American company. Beverley Gower, from Kidwelly, who also received the jab, said she \"didn't feel it\". The 49-year-old, who is also an unpaid carer so gets priority for the vaccine like Miss Taylor, added: \"This is a way forward, isn't it? A way back to normality.\" John Sanders, from Carmarthenshire, was the fifth person to receive the jab. He said: \"It's massively important. I'm a carer for my disabled son who's now 22. He's had brain cancer and various chemotherapies and he's got immune problems as well, so it's obviously important for us.\" The UK is committed to buying 17 million doses of Moderna, the third of seven vaccines developed in the UK or around the world that it has put in orders for. It has not been confirmed when the rest of the UK will start using the jab, but Scotland received its first batch on Monday. Like the Pfizer-BioNTech and Oxford-AstraZeneca jabs which are already in use, the Moderna jab is given in two doses, several weeks apart. Health Secretary Matt Hancock said he was delighted its UK rollout was starting. \"The UK government has secured vaccines on behalf of the entire nation and the vaccination programme has shown our country working together at its best,\" he said. Wales' Health Minister Vaughan Gething said a third vaccine for use in Wales \"significantly adds\" to the nation's defences against Covid-19. Across the whole of the UK, more than 31.6 million people have now had a first dose of a Covid vaccine - while 5.4 million have been fully vaccinated. In Wales, more than 1.49 million people have had a first dose, while more than 469,000 people have had both doses. But the UK's Covid vaccine supplies are set to be delayed by \"up to four weeks\" in April and Wales expects to have 250,000 fewer Oxford-AstraZeneca doses. Mr Scully told Sky News the vaccination programme remained on track to cover all adults in England by the end of July. On Tuesday, the trial of the Oxford vaccine on children stopped giving out jabs as a precaution. How does the Moderna jab work? The Moderna vaccine is a two-dose jab given at an interval of between four and 12 weeks. Like Pfizer's, it is an RNA vaccine and works by injecting part of the virus's genetic code into the body, where it enters cells and tells them to create antigens. These antigens are recognised by the immune system and prepare it to fight coronavirus. No actual virus is needed to create an mRNA vaccine, meaning the rate at which it can be produced is accelerated. It also only requires temperatures of around -20C for shipping - similar to a normal freezer. How effective is the Moderna vaccine? Trial results suggested efficacy against the disease was 94.1%, and vaccine efficacy against severe Covid-19 was 100%. More than 30,000 people in the US took part in the trial, from a wide range of age groups and ethnic backgrounds. How many doses of the Moderna vaccine does the UK have? The government has bought 17 million doses - enough to vaccinate about 8.5 million people. Scotland is due to receive more than one million of the UK's order, and the doses will arrive over a period of months. First Minister Nicola Sturgeon cautioned that the supply does not mean the vaccine programme will be accelerated. Is the Moderna vaccine safe? Moderna said the vaccine was generally well-tolerated, with no serious safety concerns identified. Events after the first dose included injection-site pain, and after the second dose fatigue, muscle pain, joint pain, headache, other pain and redness at the injection site. But these were generally short-lived. What's the response in Wales? Ros Jervis, director of public health for Hywel Dda University Health Board, said the Moderna vaccine would be used alongside the Oxford-AstraZeneca jab in the rollout to communities in Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion and Pembrokeshire. \"We are incredibly lucky to have a third vaccine in Wales, with a long shelf life and the ability to be easily transported, to help deliver the vaccination programme to small clinics across our rural communities,\" she said. Darren Hughes, director of the Welsh NHS Confederation, which represents health boards, told BBC Radio Wales the Moderna rollout would help the country make up for a reduction in Oxford-AstraZeneca supplies in April. Mr Gething said every vaccine given in Wales was \"a small victory\" against the virus and people should go for their jab when invited. A Welsh Conservatives spokesman said the UK government's vaccination strategy had been \"fully vindicated\". Plaid Cymru's health spokesman Rhun ap Iorwerth said: \"We need to know what this milestone now means for further easing of restrictions.\" The Welsh Liberal Democrats said the third vaccine came as \"welcome news\", adding the priority should be to vaccinate everyone \"as quickly and safely as possible\".",

And Japan's economy has seen the sixth straight quarter of growth - again, the longest in a decade. No wonder then that Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe appears to be feeling pretty confident about his chances of victory at this weekend's elections. But how much of the economy's feel good factors are down to his Abenomics policies? What is Abenomics? First, a quick reminder. The self-named Abenomics programme is the set of policies that Mr Abe came up with when he came into power in 2012. His plan was to jumpstart Japan's economy out of two decades of stagnant growth using the three \"arrows\" of Abenomics: But the pledges Mr Abe made in 2012 haven't come to pass. While Japan's economy has done well in recent months, it hasn't hit the targets Mr Abe set back then. And while most Japanese feel better about their country's current economic situation than they did a year ago, according to a recent survey from the Pew Research Centre, concerns about the future - especially amongst the youth and middle-aged professionals - are still a big issue. That's because so far the success of Abenomics has been mixed - at best. Mr Abe can be credited for pushing through the first two \"arrows\" of Abenomics aggressively. But the third arrow of structural reform - and arguably the most important - has been sorely lacking, and Abenomics doesn't work all that well without all three arrows working together. Jobs, but no wage growth Sure, Mr Abe can tout the fact that unemployment levels are at near four decade lows but salaries still aren't moving that much higher. Wages of full time workers rose an average of 0.7% in August and haven't budged much over the last four years. It is a vicious circle: although companies are doing better it is mainly because Japanese exporters are selling well overseas, rather than into the domestic market. That is because they don't think people will buy their goods, which means they don't make great profits at home, which means they don't raise wages, which means people feel less confident to spend money - and so the cycle goes on and on. This doesn't bode too well for one of the central goals of Abenomics - to push consumer prices higher, and to get inflation levels to 2%. Current levels are far lower than that. And Mr Abe shouldn't get too complacent about economic growth either. Growth will slow to 1% in 2019 from 1.7% this year, according to Capital Economics. The International Monetary Fund is even more pessimistic - forecasting growth of 0.7% next year. So what next? IF Mr Abe's party wins on Sunday, as some polls suggest, it won't be thanks to an Abenomics bump. Tough talk on North Korea, and the fact that Mr Abe represents a modicum of stability in Japanese politics, after years of the country seeing revolving door leaders, are all things that are helping him. But if Mr Abe gets a new mandate, the Prime Minister will have a lot of unfinished business to attend to. In order to keep the economy growing he wants to increase the national sales tax - but that could put more pressure on households, and curb consumption at a time when he wants prices to go up, not down. Mr Abe could start with making good on his promises to reform the structure of the Japanese economy, cutting red tape, liberalising the labour market and making it easier for foreigners to invest in Japan. Otherwise, without structural reforms, Mr Abe may well just be setting himself up for another political battle - and next time he may not be so lucky.",

At least 500 other protesters were detained in the capital and across the country. Most of the marches were organised without official permission. TV pictures showed demonstrators chanting \"Down with [Russian President Vladimir] Putin!\", \"Russia without Putin!\" and \"Putin is a thief!\". Correspondents say the marches appear to be the biggest since anti-government demonstrations in 2011 and 2012. Alexei Navalny was detained as he arrived to join the rally in central Moscow. Protesters then tried to prevent a police van from taking him away. In a tweet after his detention, he urged fellow protesters to continue with the demonstration. \"Guys, I'm fine. No need to fight to get me out. Walk along Tverskaya [Moscow main street]. Our topic of the day is the fight against corruption,\" he said (in Russian). He later said police stormed the office of his foundation and detained its staff, who were broadcasting the protests live. Demonstrations were also held in Saint Petersburg, Vladivostok, Novosibirsk, Tomsk and several other cities, where arrests had also been reported. The US has condemned \"the detention of hundreds of peaceful protesters throughout Russia\". \"Detaining peaceful protesters, human rights observers, and journalists is an affront to core democratic values,\" acting State Department spokesman Mark Toner said. He added that the US was \"troubled\" by Mr Navalny's arrest. Why the protests? Alexei Navalny called for the nationwide protests after he published reports claiming that Mr Medvedev controlled mansions, yachts and vineyards - a fortune that far outstripped his official salary. Mr Medvedev's spokeswoman called the allegations \"propagandistic attacks\", but the prime minister himself has not commented on the claims. The reports included the accusation that Mr Medvedev had a special house for a duck on one of his properties - and on Sunday, some demonstrators held up images of yellow rubber ducks. Others showed up with their faces painted green, a reference to a recent attack in which Mr Navalny was hit with green liquid. In Moscow, protesters filled Pushkin square and some climbed the monument to poet Alexander Pushkin shouting \"impeachment\". Turnout was estimated to be between 7,000 and 8,000, according to police. The police said 500 protesters had been arrested in the capital alone, but a rights group, OVD Info, put that number at more than 800. Alec Luhn, a journalist with UK newspaper The Guardian, was among those detained. He was released five hours later. The Kremlin has not commented on the demonstrations. It had said on Friday that plans for an unauthorised protest in central Moscow were an illegal provocation. Local media reports suggested the authorities pressured students not to attend. In some cities, exams were scheduled on Sunday. Alexei Navalny announced his intention to run for president in 2018 against Vladimir Putin. But he is barred from doing so after being found guilty in a case he said was politicised. He said on his website that protests were planned in 99 cities, but that in 72 of them authorities did not give permission. Get news from the BBC in your inbox, each weekday morning",

            "input": "Amid all the macro-economic debate about the euro, which most of us, frankly, don't understand a word of, amid all the talk of bailouts and bonds, defaults and double-dips, no-one has had much to say about the hard cash itself. I mean, what you actually see on the euro banknotes, and in particular on the euro coins. Take a closer look at those heads-and-tails and you'll find some rather disconcerting angles on European history and politics - and a story that goes back to the very first attempt at a European monetary union, 2,500 years ago. Ironically, given what's been happening in the past few months, that prototype eurozone was masterminded by the Greeks, in ancient Athens, in the middle of the 5th Century BC. Of course the modern euro designs are a bit of a compromise. From the moment they were invented, coins have always been national and political symbols. The kings of Lydia in modern Turkey, who minted the first metal money about 600BC, didn't do it to facilitate shopping or to heat up the Lydian economy, but to boast of their wealth, power and identity - with the distinctive emblem of a lion stamped on each one. So when the euro currency appeared in 2002, there was a trade-off between the symbols of the new monetary union and those of the different nation states that made it up. The paper notes were to be identical across the zone, decorated with rather dreary, generic images of European architecture - mostly windows, arches and bridges; but the coins, while one side was to display a uniform map of Europe, had space on the other for something that was distinctively national. The monarchies of Euroland were more or less obliged to pick their king, queen or grand duke for the spare side; the Vatican City - when they chose to mint - the Pope. But the rest - from Austria to Slovenia - were free to opt for a whole range of national emblems or slogans. Some went for simplicity: Ireland features a harp on every single denomination from the two euro right down to the tiny one cent; Estonia, the dullest of the lot, chose a map of Estonia. But others tried to ring the changes. France, for example, plasters \"Liberty, Equality and Fraternity\" over some coins, and a strangely angry-looking Marianne, the French Republic's female mascot, on others (\"her determined features embody the desire for a sound and lasting Europe\" is how the European Central Bank's website attempts to explain this frowning figure). Italy chose a different work of art for each denomination - with its favourite arena of mass slaughter, the Coliseum, relegated to the five-cent piece. Austria, too, manages a different design for every single coin: from a bust of Mozart to the famous Secession Building in Vienna (\"the symbol of the birth of a new age and representing a bridge to a new monetary era\", as the ECB again earnestly - and with hindsight rather poignantly - insists). But it is the Greek euro-coinage that offers the most food for thought. The smallest denominations feature a selection of ships; the 10, 20 and 50 cents each celebrate a modern hero in the struggle for Greek liberation from the Turks; but the one and two euro coins go back in different ways to classical antiquity. There's no surprise in that. Greek politicians relentlessly harp on about their direct inheritance from the classical world; in fact, I often think that nostalgia is as much a bane on the modern state of Greece as over-spending and poor accounting are. But in this case, there must be many Greeks who, in retrospect, wonder if the choice of these classical coin designs was quite so clever as it once seemed. Was this pride coming before a fall? At the centre of the two-euro coin is a bull, and on its back what appears to be a young girl. At first glance, if you didn't know your classical mythology, you might think it was a logo sponsored by the Greens: a symbol of humans and animals living together in harmony. In fact, it is a rape - Zeus, the king of the gods, snatching Princess Europa from her home city of Tyre, in the Lebanon. The story was that Zeus had (to put it euphemistically, as most story books do) \"fallen in love\" with young Europa, and in order to have his way with her, turned himself into a bull and went down to the beach where she was playing with her friends; he nuzzled up to her tamely, licking her hands and encouraging her to stroke him and decorate his horns with flowers. Then, as soon as she climbed on his back, off he flew (literally - for gods can fly), and took her - terrified - to his love-nest in Crete. Greek and Roman writers debated this story in ways familiar to us from the modern courtroom. Had Europa been carelessly naive? Had she led him on? Had he drugged her? Had she wanted it all along? But the bottom line was - whatever the pleas in mitigation might be - this was rape. You can see why the Greeks might have wanted the scene on their euros. Despite the inconvenient fact that Princess Europa came from the Lebanon, her name was eventually given to the continent of Europe. The emblem of the myth on the coin amounted to the claim that without Greece there would have been no Europe - that Greece had invented the continent. All the same, I've always found it hard to understand quite how the Greek people so easily came to terms with the idea of having a picture of rape jingling around among the small change in their pockets. Did they not think about the back story to this charming image of girl and bull, or about what was going to happen next? And how does it feel now? With Greek journalists talking luridly about the \"rape\" of their country and how it has been \"shafted\", what new meaning does this story of Europa and bull take on? But Greece's one euro leads in even more intriguing - and ambivalent - directions. Its design is an exact copy of a 5th-Century BC Athenian four-drachma coin, featuring a beady-eyed owl that stares out at you. This little bird was the symbol of Athena, goddess of wisdom and cunning - and the protector of the city of Athens. Almost all ancient Athenian coins carried this emblem, making the phrase \"taking owls to Athens\" more or less the equivalent of the modern \"coals to Newcastle\". But this is where the first monetary union comes in. Athens in the 5th Century BC was a democracy (the world's first, so the modern Greeks rather dubiously claim). It was also an exploitative empire, controlling many other states around the Mediterranean. Some time about 440BC, the Athenians decided to make all these people get rid of their own currency, with their own national emblems, and use Athenian \"owls\" instead - in fact some of the public notices laying this down, still survive, inscribed on stone around what was the Athenian empire. The rules, as we can read, were pretty stringent: it wasn't only money that was involved but Athenian weights and measures too (it was the ancient equivalent of imposing grams and metres as well as the euro); and the subject states had to bring their coins to be changed in Athens, with a substantial rake-off for the Athenian treasury. Non-compliance could result in the loss of citizenship; it might even lead to the death penalty. Modern historians have puzzled endlessly about what was really going on here. Were the Athenians out simply to make a profit? Were the states of the empire actually keen to come into the Athenian-zone? If so, threats of the death penalty seem a bit unnecessary. And did the legislation actually succeed in eradicating the other currencies and establishing the owls across the empire? We can't be sure. But on any interpretation, it is hard to resist the conclusion that the Athenian imperialists were using monetary union to display their political muscle - and hard not to imagine that vengeance for that has finally come, 25 centuries later. But before we get too smug, or laugh at the Greeks for their ill-advised choices of logo - whether rape or owls - we should look at our own. Last week a foreign student in Cambridge showed me his residence permit for the UK, the bit of plastic, plus biometric chip, that was to be the prototype for the ID cards that everyone was threatened with - but is now issued only to visa holders. What do you think the symbol in the top left hand corner is? It's the European stars and - the Home Office has confirmed - that very same bull. The female victim has disappeared - it's just the rapist that now guarantees the foreigner a right to live here.",

            "input": "By Emma HallettBBC News \"For anybody that has got that information it might just be the trigger or tipping point for them to come forward,\" says Nick Howe, a former chief superintendent with Staffordshire Police and now a criminologist at the University of Derby And yet, the fact is, where rewards are on offer, very few people ever claim them. Crimestoppers - which takes statements anonymously - offers rewards of up to £1,000 for information that helps the police to make an arrest and charge. But it says fewer than 2% of people eligible actually claim a reward. However, the police and newspapers, as well as other private companies, frequently offer large sums of money for information. So what is the point of offering rewards? The reason behind putting up the sum of money is straightforward - to create greater media opportunities to glean vital information and help solve crimes. In cases funded by the police - and therefore the taxpayer - cash rewards are more likely to be offered for \"heinous types of crime\", Mr Howe said. \"Police rewards are offered in those [cases] which cause moral outrage, so you're talking at the high end of the continuum, things like murder, elderly people that have been severely battered - the ones that appeal to human sympathy and emotion.\" However, there is little evidence of whether cash rewards do have a positive effect and how often they are paid out. Even if the police receive a tip off, it may not amount to anything and conditions on the reward may mean the tipster is not eligible for the money, if the information does not \"directly\" lead to a successful conviction. \"This can be immensely difficult [to prove],\" Mr Howe said. \"In some cases, it is obvious if it is the only piece of evidence standing. \"But in most cases, most evidence, there is a degree of subjectivity and professionalism that has to come in, that puts an indicator to what extent that piece of evidence assisted other evidence to come together.\" A case in point is the conviction of Eddie Maher, who was jailed last year for robbing a security van in 1993 in Felixstowe, Suffolk. After committing the robbery, he fled to the US. Security firm G4S offered a £100,000 reward for information but his former daughter-in-law Jessica King, who told the police where he was, says she has still not been paid one year after he was jailed. G4S said that while Maher had been found, the sum of money he stole had not, and this \"was the basis on which the reward was offered\". Yet, some may argue that offering a reward on the basis the £1.2m is found, is a pretty tall order, and if it had not been Ms King turning him in for the reward, Maher would still be on the run. Suffolk's Police and Crime Commissioner, Tim Passmore, said there could only be \"very few occasions\" when offering a reward was appropriate. \"It would be very sad if a system were to evolve where people expected to be paid for providing evidence,\" he added. However, often the prospect of a cash reward will still not be enough to persuade someone to come forward and, even if does, it can present problems if the case comes to court. \"What the police don't want to do is to contaminate evidence and the integrity of the investigation,\" Mr Howe said. \"If the person who is providing the information is actually a witness in the case, then the defence will, quite rightly, suggest and put in mitigation, that the evidence has been tainted by the inducement of payment. That is a major consideration for any senior investigating officer.\" However, Mr Howe argued there was a case to be made for using cash rewards. \"If information can fast track inquiries - bearing in mind most major inquires/murder inquires are very expensive - there is an argument that... a short sharp injection of money can do that,\" he said. \"I think you can argue it is good use of public money.\" Crimestopper's operations performance manager Ian Froggett argued that rewards helped to keep crime lower by intimidating potential criminals. As well as offering a standard reward of £1,000, the charity also offers \"enhanced rewards\" for particularly severe crimes. It offered a £50,000 reward, along with the Association of Convenience Stores, for information after five-year-old Thusha Kamaleswaran was shot in south London. It also offered £10,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of 25-year-old Joanna Yeates' killer Vincent Tabak and the same amount over the murder of Avtar Singh-Kolar, 62, and his wife, Carole, 58, who were killed in their Birmingham home. The money was largely raised initially by the charity's fundraisers but after high value robberies, the security industry often steps in to put up the cash. For instance, after the largest cash robbery in British history - the £53m robbery at a Securitas depot in Tonbridge, Kent, in 2006 - the firm put up a reward of £2m for information. Chief among their aims was to secure the return of the stolen cash and the convictions of those responsible for the robbery. But it is still not clear how big a part cash rewards play in solving crimes. Crimestoppers says that \"due to its anonymous nature\" it is unable to say whether any particular crime has been solved with the help of rewards. For Mr Howe, the fact we do not - and probably never will - know how often rewards are paid actually gives him \"confidence in the system\". \"It is a positive thing,\" he said. \"I don't think we do know the answers, and it is to save the anonymity of the people involved that it is not disclosed.\"",

Language pressure group Cymdeithas yr Iaith Gymraeg said any further delay could impact S4C's budget for the next financial year. A spokesman for the UK's Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport said it was considering the recommendations. The report author, former S4C director of programmes Euryn Ogwen Williams, had to consider the funding model, remit and governance of the channel. He submitted the report to the UK culture secretary in December after three months' work. The UK government has never said when the document would be published. Since receiving the report a new secretary of state has been appointed, with Matt Hancock replacing Karen Bradley during January's cabinet reshuffle. 'Urgent' The chair of Cymdeithas yr Iaith Gymraeg's digital group, Aled Powell, said it was urgent to publish the outcome. \"It's unacceptable to have to wait this long, especially from S4C's perspective, which still has uncertainty over its budget from April onwards,\" he said. \"It's...a sign of the low priority that the Westminster government gives to S4C and matters relating to broadcasting here in Wales, and it supports our argument - one that's supported by grassroots supporters - to devolve powers over broadcasting to us here in Wales.\" The majority of S4C's funding comes from the licence fee, and the BBC has fixed its contribution to the channel at £74.5m a year until 2022. The UK government currently gives S4C £6.8m a year. While Mr Williams was conducting his review, the chief executive of S4C, Owen Evans, said he did not expect the channel's budget to increase as a result of the exercise. A spokesman for S4C said the timing of the publication of the review was a matter for the UK culture department. He said: \"The channel looks forward to considering the conclusion of the review in due course. It was understood from the start that S4C's budget would be frozen pending the publication of the review.\" A UK culture spokesman said it was \"right that the UK government retains responsibility for the sector\". \"The culture secretary is now considering the recommendations of the independent S4C review and we will publish both the review and the government's response in due course,\" he added. Guto Harri, who is a member of the channel's governing body, the S4C Authority, warned against expecting too much from the report, and said that for him the review was \"almost irrelevant\". \"What we need is for the zest, the creativity and the enthusiasm of the Welsh to shine - and for the audience, the Welsh-speaking audience that's able to watch, to watch again...this is in our hands, not in the hands of any reviewer or any government in the long run.\"",

It is not, like many 12-year-olds, pop stardom Rika dreams of however. She hopes to one day become prime minister. Fierce competition Calypso music was born hundreds of years ago in the sugar plantation fields of the Caribbean among slaves forbidden from speaking to each other as a means of communication and to mock their masters. Characterised by satire, pun and innuendo, it evolved into a mode of stinging censure against the powers that be, using metaphor to bypass censors and speak out against corruption. Today, calypso remains an integral part of Antiguan culture and a highlight of the summer carnival which this month will mark its 60th anniversary. The children's competitions are every bit as fiercely contested as their grown-up counterparts, testimony to the genre's enduring popularity. Under her alter ego Little Miss, Rika hopes to reclaim the crown she earned with last year's lamentation of slavery-era inequality. Junior contestants are judged on use of language, clarity and stage performance, among others, and are discouraged from overly political lyrics. \"The older calypsonians say people might think we've been influenced by our parents who support a particular party,\" Rika explains. 'Technology' - Rika's 2017 entry Technology It takes over the world The good and the ugly When you take a look and examine very closely It's the greatest invention in history It's changed the lives of every man and woman But there's still so many things we don't understand\" Like much of the Caribbean, divisions along party lines can run deep. \"I want to be prime minister one day so I can clean up the pollution which makes people sick and find homes for all the homeless,\" Rika continues, adding: \"To me, calypso is beautiful. It's all about rhyming; with a sweet melody and imagination, you can create anything you want.\" The artistry reaps benefits in youngsters' schoolwork too, says Rika's grandmother, Goldene Lovell. \"The rhyming and verses take skill,\" she tells the BBC. \"And having to learn all the words helps the little ones build their ability and they listen better in school.\" Voice of the Caribbean African storytelling traditions are deeply ingrained in Caribbean culture. Among older folk, calypso evokes a certain nostalgia of days when life was simpler and is popularised by topical issues and catchy, singalong choruses. \"It's a part of our culture that people love,\" Ms Lovell adds. \"Nobody should get offended by the lyrics or take them too seriously.\" Speech may be freer these days in Antigua & Barbuda but calypso continues to stir up controversy. One Carnival 2017 entry candidly accusing Prime Minister Gaston Browne of misappropriating public funds prompted threats from Mr Browne of a defamation lawsuit against both the artist and the radio stations that play it. Calypso's creativity lies in its circumlocution, says one veteran Keithroy Morson, aka De Bear. \"I think the writer was maybe too direct with that song,\" he muses. \"But calypso is an art form indigenous to the Caribbean and it's important to promote its continuity among our people; it's our voice.\" Like some of his peers, Mr Morson fears calypso may eventually be replaced by its trendy little sister, soca, the rhythm on the road during Carnival's vibrant street parties and parades. Fellow seasoned singer Trevor 'King Zacari' King remembers the backyard calypso competitions of his youth when censors' red pens were all the more prevalent. \"People tried to use their political influence to stifle me, but I have seen rats in water swimming and a rat only drowns when it stops paddling,\" he says with a grin. Mr King believes calypso still has a vital role to play. Sensible politicians should listen closely to the lyrics because calypsonians live among the people; our ears are close to the ground while politicians' heads are above the clouds.\" He explains: \"Calypso plays an integral part in the movement and education of our people. It is very important to keep it so we can enlighten our nation and guide our children.\" Dion Simmons, who helps organise the annual contests, says this year's lyrical controversy heightened interest in calypso with the song in question, and subsequent spin-offs by other singers, going viral. \"People were breaking down the doors to get into the quarter finals,\" he says. And while calypso might attract an older crowd, Mr Simmons does not see its popularity waning any time soon. \"The songs always have some relevance to events taking place regionally or internationally,\" he adds. \"People now in their forties who were first brought to calypso shows as babies with their parents are still coming along. And now they're bringing their own children with them.\"",

A separate study revealed how firms react to complaints on social media. That suggested that the banking sector provided the best responses. A mystery shopping exercise by market researchers BDRC Continental rated companies for their response rate, as well as the speed and quality of replies. Mis-selling PPI has dominated the landscape of complaints to financial services companies for many years now. The loan insurance was designed to cover repayments if policyholders fell ill or were made redundant, but it was mis-sold on an industrial scale to those who did not want or need it. The FOS received 164,347 new cases about financial products in general in the second half of 2015, a 6% fall on the previous six months, but PPI still accounted for 56% of new complaints. \"The financial services sector has been through a challenging and volatile period in the eight years since the ombudsman first began to publish data about individual financial businesses,\" said Caroline Wayman, the chief financial ombudsman. \"Complaints about PPI still continue to make up over half of our workload. During 2015, PPI complaints finally began to approach stable levels - but we are still seeing the volume of cases at a much higher level than many people expected.\" A group representing claims management companies said many people had to go through the process of complaining to the ombudsman, which deals with disputes that cannot be agreed between consumers and financial services businesses. \"This report shows that thousands of people are suffering a double-whammy at the hands of the big banks,\" said Nick Baxter, chairman of the Professional Financial Claims Association. \"First, they were mis-sold financial products and then when they submitted totally legitimate claims for compensation, they have been fobbed off and left to navigate a complex system of appeal for anything up to two years.\" Speedy response There was some more positive results for banks and credit card firms, which came out on top of a survey into the way enquiries were dealt with on social media. BDRC Continental oversaw a mystery shopping exercise when 9,000 tweets were sent out to 395 businesses in 32 sectors, and the responses were analysed for response times, whether the question was answered and whether additional information was offered. More on the BBC Why it pays to complain via Twitter What it is like to answer angry tweets about trains Only eight of the businesses failed to respond to any of the tweeted enquiries, but only 41 replied to them all. There was a wide range of response times - with some replying within a minute but with the slowest taking more than two days. The most effective responses overall, the researchers suggested, came from the banking and credit card sectors, as well as rail companies, DIY stores, and airlines. \"Twitter is nearly 10 years old so companies have had plenty of time to learn how to use it effectively to handle customer queries and complaints,\" said Tim Barber, director at BDRC Continental. \"We believe that a decade on, responding promptly should be basic housekeeping for the UK's biggest brands. But to meet customers' increasingly high expectations of the service they receive, it's no longer enough just to respond - and to respond quickly - to every tweet: the response must be useful, provide the information needed, and address the question or complaint in an appropriate manner. \"It is particularly important as it's all done in public - questions and responses can be seen by anyone.\"",

Earlier this month, the government said testing and tracing would be \"key\" to the battle against the virus. However, it has been revealed that despite 8,000 applications for 2,000 jobs as contact tracers, no-one has yet been hired. The Scottish government has opted for a system of alerting people by a telephone call initially, rather than using a smartphone \"proximity\" app of the kind being trialled elsewhere in the UK. But it has not ruled out making use of such proximity technology in future. Health Secretary Jeane Freeman said the two-week pilot would allow health boards to test out the software which contact tracers will in future use to collect data. She said 600 additional staff from the NHS were \"ready to begin this work, as part of the process of recruiting up to 2,000 staff\". 'Larger scale' Scottish Labour has claimed the health secretary has \"serious questions to answer\" over why no tracers had so far been hired. But Ms Freeman insisted the first \"prong of the strategy\" was to utilise existing NHS staff, and that others would be recruited once necessary pre-employment and disclosure checks were complete. Speaking at the government's daily coronavirus briefing on Sunday, Ms Freeman said the software technology would allow contact tracing \"on a much larger scale\" The tracing software is different to the app piloted by the NHS in England which has been downloaded more than 55,000 times since being launched on the Isle of Wight. Ms Freeman said the Scottish software would \"focus on supporting public health teams to identify outbreaks\". She said it could reduce transmission in high risk groups and settings by making it easier for staff to collect and record information. \"The test, trace, isolate and support approach is about breaking the chain of transmission of the virus but it remains vital that alongside this people continue to follow physical distancing advice and practise good hand and cough hygiene,\" she said. Ms Freeman said the technology would be rolled out to all health boards by the end of May and then \"enhanced further\" during June. The health secretary said current NHS staff and \"returning workers\" would be the first and second group of contact tracers in place. 'Slow to hire' As for new recruits, she said: \"We need to go through proper pre-employment checks and disclosure checks as well as training. \"All of that work is under way and I am confident that we will get to that 2,000 number through that three-fold process but also with the help of other groups we are talking to, such as the St Andrew's First Aid Service.\" Scottish Conservative leader Jackson Carlaw said the SNP had been \"behind the curve\" on contact tracing. \"The success of the test, trace, isolate scheme depends on having enough staff, and the SNP's lack of progress has put this and Scotland's ability to exit lockdown safely in jeopardy,\" he said. Scottish Labour's health and social care spokeswoman Monica Lennon said the safety of the people of Scotland must not be \"hampered by a failure to hire contact tracers\". She said: \"Contact tracing should never have been abandoned. \"The cabinet secretary for health has been too slow to hire contact tracers despite clear demand for the role. \"The Scottish government did not act swiftly enough to protect the people of Scotland when a proactive approach to this incredibly serious public health emergency was needed.\" During the Scottish government briefing, Jeane Freeman also said the Scottish government had issued new guidance for arrangements in care homes. She said the guidance, which will come into effect on Monday, would ensure \"enhanced professional and clinical care oversight\". It comes after a leading care sector organisation called for coronavirus testing to be expanded to care homes that are currently thought to be virus-free. Currently, all staff and residents are tested at a care home whenever there is a confirmed case of Covid-19. Scottish care chief executive Donald Macaskill had earlier told the BBC that there should be regular testing of all staff and residents. 'Last resort' Ms Freeman said the new rules would make sure clinical care, infection prevention and control, PPE and testing arrangements were \"where we need them to be\". New measures added to the Coronavirus Bill, and to be considered by Parliament this week, would see the government take over the running of failing care homes. Ms Freeman said these powers to ensure continuation of care would only be exercised as a \"last resort\". \"Further action will be taken to address any failings that arise, and will be taken quickly,\" she said.",

The council said it would not reopen the school until it was \"absolutely confident\" and had independent assurances that \"every bolt, screw and fitting\" had been certified safe. \"An incident response team has been set up to assure the continuity of pupil education,\" it added. \"The young people of north west Dumfries deserve much more and we are angry and disappointed at the disruption to their education.\" The EIS and Unison unions both welcomed the decision to shut the site. \"There have been a series of incidents at the NWCC, which have left staff deeply concerned about safety,\" they said in a statement. \"We understand that Health and Safety Executive officials will visit the NWCC next week and our health and safety representatives look forward to engaging with them.\" 'Strict tolerances' The contract company Graham said it had investigated the \"unfortunate incident\" and had examined the screen and its mounting brackets along with experts from the installation company. \"It's clear from this examination that the screen was subject to a very high level of excessive force, which caused it to separate from the bracket,\" a spokesman said. \"We have also examined the remaining 20 screens in the school and all are functioning normally, and in line with the strict tolerances and operational guidelines.\" He said it awaited the outcome of the council's investigation into the circumstances.",

She awoke suddenly, feeling \"nervous for a reason I could not understand\" early in the morning of 20 January 2017, an inquest heard. Mr Banas was killed in an explosion aboard the Manhattan Bridge. Representatives from the ship's owners, K Line Europe, came to her house later in the day to tell her of Mr Banas's death. \"I couldn't believe it. I was in shock. It was such a painful thing to process,\" she said in a statement read to Suffolk Coroner's Court. The couple had married in 2013 and have a daughter, who was three when Mr Banas died. 'Always worth the wait' Mr Banas came from a family of tenant farmers but went to college to follow his dream of working at sea, the inquest heard. He worked away nine months of the year \"but every time he came home it was always worth the wait\", said Mrs Banas. \"I still got giddy every time I collected him at the airport. I always felt like the first time we met. \"We had a very simple, very happy married life.\" Mr Banas was an oiler aboard the Manhattan Bridge container ship which was docking at the Port of Felixstowe at about 23:00 GMT on 19 January. The inquest has heard that alarms on the auxiliary boiler being tended to by Mr Banas had been tripped six times that day but the crew did not consider it unusual. An inspection found a thick \"waxy\" build-up in the filter which could stop fuel flowing freely, but the ship had not been using the anti-waxing chemical advised by its owners, the inquest was told.

Rebecca Shuttleworth, of Manchester, and her partner Luke Southerton, of Hagley Road, Birmingham, deny murder. Ms Shuttleworth, 24, told Birmingham Crown Court she thought Mr Southerton, 32, was a \"better parent than me\". The pair also deny causing or allowing the death of a child and a charge of cruelty to a child aged under 16. Ms Shuttleworth, of Cottingham Road, told the court how she had left Keanu at Mr Southerton's flat on Sunday, 9 January while she went to her father's home to replace clothing which the toddler had vomited on. 'Started crying' She said that Keanu had fallen asleep five minutes before she left and when she returned he was \"still facing back on the sofa\" and noticed how one ear was white. Paul Lewis QC defending, asked her what she did. Ms Shuttleworth replied: \"I don't know why, something told me to look at his chest... he was just still.\" A 999 call was made at about 19:40 GMT and Keanu, who had also been known as Kiwi, was confirmed dead later that day. She said that before leaving the toddler, she knew he had injuries on his stomach but was not aware of any other injuries. Mr Lewis asked her if she had trusted Mr Southerton. She replied: \"I had no reason not to. I did see him as a better parent than me.\" Ms Shuttleworth told the court that two days earlier, when she took the toddler to Mr Southerton's flat, once they were in sight of the front door Keanu started screaming. She said: \"It started off as a crying and wouldn't stop.\" She said she had thought at the time he was \"just tired\" and he continued crying for about 10 minutes after arriving, but fell asleep. Ms Shuttleworth said the following day Keanu was \"just really quiet\" which was unusual. She said he did not seem to be in any pain but at breakfast ate less than he normally would. The court heard that on the Sunday, after being alerted by Mr Southerton, she found Keanu was not in a camp bed as she expected, but face down to the right of the TV. Ms Shuttleworth added Keanu was \"freezing\", he seemed quiet and \"clingy\" and she thought maybe he was \"coming down with something\". She said: \"I thought I'd keep an eye on him. Luke said it could be this 24 [hour] bug thing.\" Asked if she had deliberately caused Keanu any injury, Ms Shuttleworth said: \"Never.\" The trial continues.",

Ministers have urged MPs to \"accept assurances\" they will be given votes on alternatives anyway. But business minister Richard Harrington quit shortly before the vote to back the cross-party plan. The outcome of the vote on the plan, backed by Labour, the Lib Dems and the SNP as well as some Tories, is expected to be close. Labour withdrew its amendment calling for the government to \"provide sufficient parliamentary time this week\" for indicative votes. But MPs could still vote on an amendment from Labour's Dame Margaret Beckett, calling for MPs to be given a vote on requesting another extension Brexit if a deal has not been approved by 5 April. Earlier, Theresa May told MPs she did not have enough support to win a vote on her EU withdrawal deal \"as things stand\". But she insisted she would continue trying to get MPs to back it before putting it to the Commons for a third time this week. The PM is ordering Tory MPs to vote against the bid by a cross-party group of MPs, headed by Tory Sir Oliver Letwin, to hold votes on alternatives to her plan. If passed, the amendment would give MPs the opportunity to vote on a series of options designed to test the will of Parliament to see what, if anything, commands a majority. Ministers saw off a similar attempt earlier this month by MPs to take control of Commons business to consider alternatives to Mrs May's deal by just two votes. The government has said it would give MPs time to hold such votes anyway, but Mrs May said she was \"sceptical\" about the process and would not commit to delivering the outcome of the votes. Earlier on Monday, DUP leader Arlene Foster told the prime minister that her party had not changed its position and would not be backing her deal. The prime minister said the \"default outcome\" remained leaving the EU without a deal. \"The alternative is to pursue a different form of Brexit or a second referendum,\" she said. \"But the bottom line remains: if the House does not approve the withdrawal agreement this week and is not prepared to countenance leaving without a deal, we would have to seek a longer extension.\" That would mean holding European elections, she added, and would mean \"we will not have been able to guarantee Brexit\". She also confirmed that on Wednesday, the government will seek to change the UK's 29 March departure date through a piece of secondary legislation, which will make 11pm on 12 April the earliest Brexit date. But she warned MPs that even if they voted against the change, it would still happen because it was contained in a piece of international law. She said the government would provide time for MPs to debate Brexit alternatives but added: \"When we have tried this kind of thing in the past, it has produced contradictory outcomes or no outcome at all.\" \"The votes could lead to an outcome that is un-negotiable with the EU,\" she told MPs. \"No government could give a blank cheque to commit to an outcome without knowing what it is.\" Mrs May's second-in-command David Lidington told MPs the government would arrange indicative votes on Wednesday, if Mr Letwin's amendment is voted down. If it is passed then the timing of any votes would be up to MPs, he added. Asked by Sir Oliver why the government would not simply back his amendment, as it was proposing essentially the same thing, Mr Lidington repeated what the prime minister had said earlier, telling MPs it would \"would overturn the balance of power between Parliament and government\". Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn confirmed that his party will back Sir Oliver's attempt to secure \"indicative votes\" on Brexit, telling MPs: \"It is time for Parliament to take control.\" Sir Oliver said he was not proposing a \"constitutional revolution\". He said he would vote for the PM's deal but he did not believe there was \"a majority in favour of the first preference\" of any MP, and it was time to \"seek compromise\". Understandably, Westminster is frothy with gossip tonight. Is the government about to lose control completely of the Brexit process? Not quite. Is there an obvious way for Parliament out of this mess if it gets the chance to test it properly? Not quite. How likely is it that a handful of ministers might resign tonight to help that theoretical process? Quite likely. Is the prime minister about to get the DUP on board for her deal? Not quite. But the biggest question is, as it always has been - is Theresa May about to seal the deal with the Brexiteers whose votes she so desperately needs? Well, not quite. Read Laura's blog EU no-deal preparation 'completed' Mrs May's EU deal has been overwhelmingly rejected in the Commons twice. She has said she would only bring it back for a third Commons vote if there was \"sufficient support\" for it - and she spent the weekend trying to persuade Brexiteer Tories to get behind it. But many are thought likely to take their lead from the DUP, which has led objections to the Irish backstop clause. Meanwhile, the EU has said all its preparation for an \"increasingly likely\" no-deal scenario on 12 April has been completed. Jeremy Corbyn met the prime minister for over an hour earlier, and had what Labour described as a \"frank and comprehensive exchange of views\" on Brexit. Mr Corbyn told the PM there was no basis for holding a third vote on her deal. Last week Mrs May was forced to ask the EU for an extension to Article 50 and hundreds of thousands of people marched in central London calling for another EU referendum. What's happening this week? Monday: MPs will debate the Brexit next steps and a number of amendments - possible alternatives - to the government plan will be put to a vote. The most important of these is the indicative votes plan. Wednesday: This is when indicative votes would be held - we don't know yet whether MPs will be free to vote how they want or be directed along party lines. The chances of any genuine cross-party consensus being achieved are not high. MPs will also debate and vote on removing 29 March from UK law as the day Britain leaves the EU. Thursday: A possible opportunity for meaningful vote three. The prime minister may hope that Brexiteers will finally decide to throw their weight behind her deal because indicative votes have shown that otherwise the UK could be heading for the sort of softer Brexit they would hate. Friday: This is still written into law as the day the UK leaves the EU. The PM is attempting to change that through a piece of secondary legislation. If she succeeds, the earliest Brexit will happen is 11pm on 12 April. Read more on the week ahead in Parliament Government vs Parliament In normal times, the government runs the country and Parliament - comprising all the MPs and Lords who are not members of the government - is there to monitor and scrutinise the way they are running things. The government cannot make new laws or raise taxes without Parliament's agreement. And Parliament can challenge or block many of the decisions made by government ministers. But ultimately it is the elected government that calls the shots - partly because it controls what gets debated in the Commons. A group of MPs is now bidding to take over the Commons timetable on one day this week, so it can hold votes on alternatives to the government's Brexit plans. The government does not have to abide by the outcome of these votes - and the prime minister has ordered Tory MPs to vote against the move, arguing it would set a dangerous precedent. She says the government will give MPs Parliamentary time to debate and vote on alternatives, in an effort to retain control.",

It said Scotland may be an important refuge for species such as the common toad and the adder. The appeal for sightings is part of a wider three-year project funded by Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH). The State of Nature report, led by the RSPB and backed by Sir David Attenborough, was published earlier this year. It found that about 60% of animal and plant species in the UK were in trouble. ARC has now said more information is urgently needed on Scottish amphibians and reptiles. 'Real contribution' It wants members of the public who spot frogs, toads, newts, snakes - such as adders - or lizards to go online and record the sightings. The information will be used to create an up-to-date Scottish Amphibian and Reptile Atlas, with the data helping to prioritise conservation work across Scotland. The charity's Scottish project officer, Dr Pete Minting, said: \"Nothing beats the look on someone's face when they first see a wild adder or hear a natterjack toad calling - it can be a life-changing experience.\" The sighting project has been launched as part of the Scottish government's Year of Natural Scotland campaign. John McKinnell, policy and advice Officer at SNH: \"It is good to support this project, which will encourage the public to make a real contribution to the study and conservation of a relatively neglected part of Scotland's nature. \"It is good that the project aims to increase our knowledge of all of our native amphibians and reptiles, not just the ones we already know are rare.\"",

            "input": "By Phil McCannCheshire Political Reporter, BBC News Officers began looking into how Cheshire East Council awarded contracts in 2015, when Michael Jones was leader, but the case was dropped last week due to \"insufficient evidence\". Mr Jones said the \"significant\" damage to his reputation had been \"unfair\". Cheshire Police said prosecutors had found no fault with the investigation. The police inquiry looked into the awarding of three council contracts for school fitness classes in 2015 to the company Core Fit, which was run by Mr Jones' personal physiotherapist Amanda Weston. Other companies were unable to bid for the contracts, but at the time, the council said no \"unlawful expenditure\" had been made. Michael Jones quit as leader before police launched their investigation in December 2015, and subsequently left the Conservative group and quit as a councillor. The case against Mr Jones and Ms Weston was dropped after being considered by the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS). Cheshire Police said at the time that although prosecutors advised the force that \"there were issues in relation to procurement, there was insufficient evidence to provide a realistic prospect of a conviction against any individual\". 'Very complimentary' In a statement, Mr Jones accused senior officers of \"dragging their heels\" and labelled their investigation \"a politically-motivated attack by opponents on Cheshire East Council in collusion and with senior officers at Cheshire Police\". \"It saddens me greatly that so much time and money has been wasted on this spurious investigation by Cheshire Police and it is no surprise that the CPS has agreed that neither I or Amanda Weston at Corefit have a case to answer.\" A further five allegations referred to police remain under investigation. Mr Jones said he had written to the Independent Office for Police Conduct and Cheshire's police and crime commissioner calling for an \"urgent inquiry\", as he was \"greatly concerned that others... are at risk of a similarly vindictive investigation\". Ms Weston said she was \"relieved at the CPS decision\" and \"hopeful\" that her firm would now be judged \"purely on its performance\". In response, a Cheshire Police spokesman said it was the force's duty \"to properly investigate serious allegations of fraud and misconduct in a public office\". He said it had been \"an extremely thorough investigation concerning some complex allegations\" which had taken \"a great deal of time to conduct\". \"A file of evidence was provided to the CPS in May 2018, and since then there have been continued discussions between the police and CPS on various points of the investigation. \"We are not aware of a formal complaint being submitted by the CPS about our handling of the case - in fact... the CPS was very complimentary of the investigation.\"",

But the government needs to bring the current parliamentary session to an end, before it can hold a Queen's Speech setting out its agenda for the next session. It means there will be no Prime Minister's Questions next week. The only time Boris Johnson - who missed PMQs on Wednesday due to his Conservative conference speech - has taken part in the session since becoming PM was on 4 September. In a statement, No 10 said the planned prorogation - which must be approved by the Queen - would be \"for the shortest time possible\" to enable logistical and security preparations for the State Opening of Parliament. The current Parliamentary session was thought to have come to an end in the early hours of Tuesday, 10 September. But the Supreme Court ruled the prorogation unlawful, meaning the session did not technically end at all. Downing Street said the Queen's Speech would set out the government's plans for the NHS, schools, tackling crime, investing in infrastructure and building a strong economy. But without a Commons majority, it is thought unlikely MPs would back the PM's legislative agenda. Number 10 had been studying the implications of the Supreme Court judgment - and will hope a shorter suspension of a few days rather than five weeks causes it less trouble. It also avoids another potentially awkward conversation with the Palace about rescheduling the Queen's plans. Already, however, opposition parties have raised concerns.

            "input": "The first official estimate for April, May and June is close to the provisional one issued last month. The GDP figures highlight the impact of the coronavirus lockdown which began at the end of March. The UK economy shrank by 20.4% over the same period. It's hard to grasp the hit to the economy from a fifth of output disappearing in only three months. There's no modern precedent. But that's what we've been through. Perhaps the only way to make sense of it is by comparison with others. Scotland did only slightly less badly than the UK as a whole - a single quarter decline of 19.4% against 20.4%. That's not much consolation, as the UK did far worse than comparable, developed nations. The next worst output figures were for France, down 13.8%, and Italy, falling 12.4% in April, May and June. Both had faced significantly sharper falls in output in the first quarter of 2020, because lockdown measures began earlier there than the UK. However, the combined effect over the first half of the year still leaves the UK as worst affected of major industrial nations. A forecast published by the Organisation of Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), the richer country club, continues the theme: UK decline for the whole of 2020 of 10.1%, while world GDP looks like falling 4.5%, and the G20 larger nations by 4.1%. The rebound forecast for next year is bigger for the UK, at 7.6% growth, but not enough to make up lost ground in 2020. If all that looks bad, spare a thought for South Africa. With harsh lockdown measures and despite a good farm harvest, it announced a second quarter contraction of 51%. Largest fall The latest Scottish figures show that all industries contracted over the period from April to June, with construction showing the largest fall at 41.5%. The next largest fall was in the distribution, hotels and catering sector, at 33.9%. In the first quarter of the year, covering January to the end of March, Scottish GDP shrank by 2.5%, reflecting the move at the end of that period to restrict economic activity as a coronavirus precaution. Andrew McRae, from the Federation of Small Businesses' Scotland, said: \"By forcing thousands of businesses to shut up shop, we slammed the handbrake on the Scottish economy. These unsurprising statistics show the extent of the slowdown. \"Those firms that did the right thing now need the support policymakers to see them through to the recovery. That likely means no new pressures on business and ongoing support for firms still facing trade restrictions.\"",

Forest, who have played at the City Ground since 1898, said there has not been any major development of the stadium for 25 years. The club said it was \"time for the new City Ground\", as it announced plans to boost the current capacity of 30,000. Mr Marinakis said it was important to ensure the club's home remained on the banks of the River Trent, rather than relocating to a newly-built stadium. The club said an agreement had been reached with Nottingham City Council for an extended lease on the stadium, which would secure it as their \"long-term home\". \"From the very beginning our strategy has been not to make promises but to deliver,\" added Mr Marinakis.

The threat of closure loomed large, but a successful campaign by parents in Leigh Park, Hampshire, saved the struggling school, and in September 2010 it became an academy. It was renamed and refreshed with a multi-million pound refurbishment, and the transformation has been more than just cosmetic.

Ofsted said teaching and pupil achievement were inadequate, the curriculum did not offer enough variety and pupils' behaviour was poor. Faced with a daunting task, Miss Cassady says she started with \"the basics\", instilling good behaviour and creating a \"culture of learning\". \"We have really focused on the quality of teaching and learning,\" she said. \"We have quality personal development for staff on a weekly basis. \"We have behaviour systems focusing on positive behaviour, but also focusing on sanctions and accountability. \"We have a reward system with lots of incentives so students are praised for positive behaviour, but also for their progress in lessons and their contribution.\" The school's population has higher-than-average levels of deprivation and special educational needs. One of Miss Cassady's aims has been to encourage aspiration and raise expectations of its pupils. 'Bold' move In order to foster pride in their school, she allowed the students to design a smart new uniform and, in what Ofsted called a \"bold\" move, introduced sweeping changes to the curriculum so it suited students' aims. While many would argue over whether academy status helps or hinders schools, Miss Cassady says the freedom of being an academy and the support she has received from the sponsor has made her job easier. \"TKAT have been very good at putting in support where it was needed, but they've also given ownership and power to the principal and the governors,\" she said. \"There's accountability, but also support. There's high quality professional development, high quality back room support in terms of finances and those aspects, and there's practical school support.\" Last year, TKAT, one of the largest multi-academy trusts in the south of England, was criticised by Ofsted for having too many low-performing schools. 'Significant progress' Havant Academy is still in special measures, but in its last monitoring report, Ofsted said the school was making progress. Teaching standards were still variable but had improved, and while progress was still needed in maths, standards in English had leapt ahead. Overall, inspectors said \"effective leadership\" had led to \"notable improvements\" in teaching, achievement, attendance and behaviour. Miss Cassady is hoping for a good result in the next inspection. \"It is a big challenge and a big step to go from special measures to good,\" she said. \"But we have made significant progress. When I arrived we only had one maths teacher and one scientist who'd been there for 18 months. Now we have a full complement of scientists and a full complement of mathematicians. The staffing is of really very high quality.\" She says the staff, students and parents have been \"superb\" at embracing change. \"This was my first headship and they say you should choose your first school very wisely,\" Miss Cassady said. \"The best thing I did was coming to Havant Academy and driving improvement within the school. It's been challenging, but it's been brilliant.\"",

It is unclear where the money will come from in a country where unemployment and poverty is endemic. Economic output has halved since 2000. Last year, more than four million Zimbabweans were in need of food aid due to drought. The country was once known as the breadbasket of southern Africa. 'Populism that defies logic' Despite this, the cabinet has agreed to spend $800m building the new university in Mazowe, 35km (20 miles) outside the capital Harare. Another $200m has been set aside for an endowment fund for research and innovation at the Robert Gabriel Mugabe University, which will focus on science and technology, Mr Moyo said. He would not be drawn on where the funds were coming from. Africa Live - read more on this and other stories The announcement of the new university was met with derision from opposition parties, which hope to end Mr Mugabe's 37-year reign at next year's general elections. \"This is populism that defies logic,\" said Obert Gutu, a spokesman for the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC). \"It is meant to stroke Mugabe's ego because we know this government is broke.\" Zimbabwe already struggles to pay for education - as well as public services and infrastructure like roads and hospitals - spending 90% of the country's annual budget on wages. The MDC says the money would be better spent on Zimbabwe's existing universities, where students face crumbling infrastructure and a lack of accommodation. According to state media, Mr Mugabe has seven earned degrees and 11 honorary degrees. He is a trained teacher and after coming to power in 1980, his government massively increased the provision of state education to the previously disadvantaged black majority.

Her father, neurologist Sir Ludwig Guttmann, arranged for patients from two hospitals to compete. \"I was a teenager and I can't remember an awful lot about it,\" said Ms Loeffler. \"I think there were seven athletes from each hospital and they had a competition doing archery and javelin throwing. \"My father started disabled sport as a way of rehabilitation - training the muscles that paraplegics had left.\" Rome 1960 Ms Loeffler said Stoke Mandeville Wheelchair Games was held on an annual basis until her father had the idea of running them parallel to the Olympics, every four years. \"The Rome games (in 1960) were the first, with 300 wheelchair athletes,\" she said. \"It was over 50 years ago and things were very different then - just getting the wheelchair athletes to Rome in an aeroplane.\" Ludwig Guttmann, who had fled Nazi Germany with his family, became Sir Ludwig in 1966. He died in 1980, having seen his idea to motivate patients become a worldwide movement. \"The last games he saw were the 1976 games in Toronto, which were the first true Paralympic games with all the other disabilities - the amputees, the blind, the cerebral palsy - joining in,\" said Ms Loeffler. \"It was wonderful for him.\" Ms Loeffler said her father was a pioneer and visionary, who in 1956 had predicted that disabled people would one day take part in the Olympic Games. So the sight of double amputee Oscar Pistorius competing against able-bodied athletes in London would not have surprised him, she said. \"His dream has come true,\" she said. \"He just realised that things would go forward - he was not one to look back at all.\" As mayor of the Athletes' Village, Ms Loeffler will welcome South Africa's Pistorius and 4,232 other competitors to London. \"I have been involved for several years but this position is a great, great honour and I'm having the most amazing time being mayor of the Paralympic village,\" she said.

Pubs in the Republic of Ireland are closed but can sell takeaway drinks. Customers purchasing takeaway alcohol cannot drink it less than 100m from the establishment. Those who break that law already face fines of €300 (£269) with the licence holder facing a fine of €1,500 (£1,345) but the fines have rarely been enforced because they are believed to be too steep. Ministers are expected to discuss a proposal from Health Minister Stephen Donnelly for smaller fines. Takeaway ban? Public health officials have expressed frustration that the rate of new cases of Covid-19 has increased in recent days rather than fallen with some blaming public drinking. It is understood ministers are unlikely to agree to an initial suggestion that pubs should be banned from selling takeaway alcohol after concerns were expressed about the impact such a measure would have in rural Ireland. In the Republic of Ireland, five further coronavirus-related deaths and 456 new cases were recorded on Monday. The Irish Department of Health said there were 33 people in ICU, two more than Sunday. The country has been under a six-week lockdown since 21 October, with people being asked to stay at home and travel only for essential purposes.

The Northern Ireland man is being held at a gas facility at In Amenas, in the east of Algeria, along with about 20 other foreign nationals. The kidnappers attacked and occupied the complex on Wednesday, after killing a Briton and an Algerian. Mr Douglas was kidnapped in the Congo in 2000 and was also second in command of a Royal Irish battalion when members of a patrol were abducted by rebels in Sierra Leone in the same year. \"I think the message that I'd like to give to the family is that, although things might seem dreadful and hopeless at the moment, in both of the incidents that I was involved in, I was released and also the Royal Irish soldiers were released safely as well,\" he said. The former officer, who often works in the Middle East, said there were a number of things the hostages could do to help their chances for survival. \"It's very important to keep your head down, not to antagonise them (the kidnappers) in any way, not to get agitated or indeed violent,\" he said. \"Try and create a relationship with them, try and make sure they understand they're dealing with a human being, try to be friendly, try to smile, try to create that kind of relationship. \"For every moment you're still alive, that is a precious moment for the security forces, for the intelligence services, to gather a picture and formulate a plan.\" He said any rescue operation would be hampered by the fact that the hostages were of several different nationalities and the kidnappers were fundamentalists. \"If a rescue operation is organised there will be all sorts of political negotiations that have to take place - who has precedence, is it the French, is it the British, is it the Americans, we don't know,\" Mr Douglas said. \"The difficulty with Islamic fundamentalists is that there is a religious aspect to it, some of these insurgents are quite happy to die for their cause, so that makes it a much more challenging operation for the intelligence and security services to go and try and release them.\" Mr Douglas has dual British and Irish nationality and said when he is working in a country such as Yemen, he uses his Irish passport. \"Having said that I don't think the nationality of the hostages will be of too much concern to the insurgents,\" he added. \"They will split them into categories - Americans will probably be the most valuable, British next and then any white European will have a value. \"Lesser bargaining from their point of view will be people from the Asian sub-continent. \"They're almost like chips in a game and each will have a monetary, or political, or media value.

            "input": "By Tara McKelveyPalm Beach, Florida Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and US President Donald Trump held a press conference at the Mar-a-Lago club on Saturday. Abe spoke in Japanese, condemning North Koreans for firing a ballistic missile. He stood in a ballroom at the president's club, a room set up quickly for the event. It was decorated with two sets of US and Japanese flags, and a dance track from a nearby wedding party was playing softly in the background. In the diplomatic realm, the Japanese are known for their attention to detail and understated manner - and for their discretion. This press conference - and summit - were different. Instead of Camp David, which is located in rural Maryland, or Sunnylands in California, where Obama hosted world leaders, Trump invited Abe to his private club in Florida. They walked around the premises in full view of the other guests - many of whom were attending the wedding party. White napkins littered the grounds, and guests strolled across a patio. A string of Molly's Trolleys (with air conditioning and wooden benches) waited in the parking lot to take the wedding guests away after the party. Abe must have wondered what he'd gotten himself into. Trump also seemed uncomfortable - at least when he was talking about diplomatic affairs. \"The United States of America stands behind Japan, its great ally, 100%,\" he said during the press conference. He spoke in a clipped manner. Abe was clearly more at ease in the world of international security issues and geopolitics than Trump. Abe had a calm manner, and the president played a supporting role. In this way Abe gave Trump a lesson in diplomacy. Trump's background as a businessman differentiates him from any US president before him, and his approach to global affairs has been unusual. He's been combative on the global stage, accusing Japan and other nations of trying to hoodwink the US. Understanding his worldview and developing a relationship with him has been a challenge for foreign leaders. Abe seems to have met this challenge - for now. Things started out rocky: Abe didn't want Trump to cancel plans for a trade pact, the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), or at least not right away. The president crushed it. Trump withdraws from TPP trade deal Abe moved on, working to ensure good relations between Japan and the US. Japan is one of the most important US allies, and their relationship has been a key part of US policy in Asia. Abe wanted to make sure the US would continue to help him and the other officials in Tokyo maintain security in the region. Then Trump said the Japanese were trying to influence financial markets so they could compete unfairly against the US. \"They play the money market,\" he said, \"and we sit there like a bunch of dummies.\" Economists were baffled by his claims. \"He's just shooting from the hip,\" the Harvard economist Kenneth Rogoff told me, saying Trump's accusations against the Japanese were unfounded - and that his understanding of Japan and the markets was fuzzy. \"I guess what remains to be seen is how educable he is,\" said Rogoff. This was Abe's mission for the weekend: to educate the president without making him mad. \"I think the goal was completely achieved,\" Columbia University's Takatoshi Ito, who specialises in finance, said. \"Abe and Trump became good friends and had good chemistry.\" Even former Obama officials - or some of them - were impressed. \"It was good for both sides to have an early summit,\" said Mark Lippert, who served as the ambassador to South Korea. He said that the weekend Abe and Trump spent together in Florida helped to underscore the importance of the US-Japan alliance. In this way Abe may have created a model for other world leaders and foreign diplomats who are attempting to chart a course with the new administration. \"In some ways maybe he's setting the template for how US allies can deal with Trump,\" said Eric Altbach, who served on the National Security Council under President George W Bush. Abe's secret has been to carefully build a relationship with the president, acting authoritative at times but also showing respect. Still, Ito acknowledged that the strategy could backfire. \"It's like a personal relationship,\" Ito said. \"You have to take risk, but it's a calculated risk.\" Others are more pessimistic. \"I would be wary,\" said Jeremy Shapiro, who worked for the State Department during the Obama administration. Shapiro said other world leaders had tried to cultivate good relations with Trump - and got burned. Prime Minister Theresa May of Britain had a press conference with the president last month. Shortly afterwards Trump signed an order for a travel ban that infuriated Britons and embarrassed May. She struggled to maintain her good relations with the president while dealing with the fallout at home. Trump and Abe had dinner on Friday at Mar-a-Lago. (White House officials said they'd invited the prime minister to stay for free at the club.) Outside palm trees swayed on a lawn, a place with grass so green that it looked as if it had been painted. Maids in black dresses with white trim walked past a swimming pool, and rooms were filled with red roses. (The parking lot even has a space reserved for \"floral\".) The contrasting styles of the two leaders - and the challenges in building a relationship - were apparent at dinner. At one point Trump stood up from the table, calling out to a friend, the owner of a football team, who was sitting across from him. Abe sat quietly. His hands were folded in front of him. Luckily they shared a passion for golf - and played the following day at Trump National Golf Club, travelling there in a motorcade that took up three lanes of a highway. That evening the president spoke with me and other reporters about their outing. \"We got to know each other very, very well,\" the president said, answering my question about the golf game. Not long afterwards we were called for the press conference - and watched Abe smoothly move into a position of power. Trump was uncharacteristically quiet during the press event. He didn't seem \"fully briefed up\" on North Korea, said Altbach. Afterwards Stephen Bannon, the chief White House strategist, and an aide stepped into the room. The aide was holding a copy of a speech entitled \"POTUS remarks\", which was shown in a Reuters photograph. It seemed to be a copy of Trump's speech, describing North Korea's actions as \"provocative\". The president chose different words, though, and let Abe do most of the talking. For a US president, that's unconventional. In another departure, the White House did not issue an official statement, the way Democratic and Republican presidents have traditionally done after a missile test. A White House aide told me they believed things had been taken care of during the press event - and saw no need for a statement. \"It's unusual,\" Altbach told me. \"Normally the president would issue a full statement on a missile test.\" Normally, though, the president has a background in international relations and is surrounded by aides who are steeped in statecraft lore. With Trump, said Altbach: \"There's a learning curve.\" With his cordial relations towards Abe - and a close, new relationship with Japan, an important US ally - Trump gives the impression he's becoming like \"a normal president\", said Shapiro. Yet Trump is likely to continue on an unpredictable course in his dealings with Abe and other world leaders, said Shapiro, adding that a good motto for the administration is: \"Stay tuned.\" Follow @Tara_Mckelvey on Twitter",

The entrepreneur was best known for his role in creating popular start-ups in Nigeria and Bangladesh. Police have not publicly commented on the case or any identity but Gokada, one of the firms Saleh co-founded, tweeted to confirm his death. \"We are deeply saddened to inform you about the sudden and tragic loss of our founder and CEO, Fahim Saleh,\" the firm said on Wednesday. According to US media reports, CCTV footage from the building in which Saleh lived showed him entering a lift with a man wearing a mask on Monday. His body was reportedly discovered decapitated and dismembered, with an electric saw placed nearby. An unnamed source in law enforcement told the New York Post the crime scene looked like a \"professional\" killing. Who was Fahim Saleh? The 33 year old, who was the son of Bangladeshi immigrants, created his first company while still in high school. He went on to co-found the ride company Pathao, which is popular in Bangladesh and Nepal, in 2015. More recently he helped found Nigerian motorbike taxi app Gokada, but the company faced a setback after authorities in Lagos banned motorbike taxis earlier this year. Both companies have paid tribute to the entrepreneur. Gokada described Saleh as \"a great leader, inspiration and positive light for all of us\" in its tweet. Hussein M Elius, who co-founded Pathao with Saleh, told Bangladesh's Daily Star newspaper: \"Fahim believed in the potential for technology to transform lives in Bangladesh and beyond. \"He saw the promise in us when all we had was a common purpose and a shared vision. He was, and will forever remain, an incredible inspiration for Pathao and our entire ecosystem.\"",

            "input": "There is also a media presence at Buckingham Palace, where news of the birth will be formally announced. And in York, where Prince Charles travelled by train to undertake official duties, the talk among spectators was of another royal arrival. Lindo Wing, St Mary's Hospital, Paddington More than 250 reporters and camera crews from all corners of the world are assembled outside the Lindo Wing of St Mary's Hospital. Photographers' step-ladders are everywhere, and there is barely room to pass along the pavement. Some of the journalists have been here for two weeks - and on Monday morning their ranks began to swell as Kensington Palace announced the Duchess of Cambridge had been admitted to the hospital and was in the early stages of labour. Tourists from countries including Australia, France and Germany staying at nearby hotels have also been stopping by on their way to some of London's better-known sights. And then there are the dedicated royal watchers. Sharing a tent and surviving on a diet of fast food in blistering summer temperatures has not dampened the spirits of Maria Scott and her daughter Amy Thompson, 13. The pair, who also camped out for 2011's royal wedding, travelled from Newcastle on Saturday. \"It is a part of history. There's a monarch being born. I wanted to be here,\" said Ms Scott. Resplendent in his Union Jack suit and matching trainers, 78-year-old Terry Hutt is a regular at royal events. He has been sleeping on a bench since 10 July in order to keep his prime spot right opposite the steps of the hospital, where the Duke and Duchess are due to pose for photographs when they leave with their first child. Wearily eating an ice cream as well-wishers stop to say hello or ask for a photo, he says \"I'm hoping it will be done this evening and put us all out of our misery\". Alex Kleiderman and Charlotte Ryan Buckingham Palace It is boiling outside Buckingham Palace but the atmosphere is pretty cool - for now. It's a sense of business as usual but that will change. Once the new royal baby is born, attention will temporarily switch from the private Lindo Wing at St Mary's Hospital to the Palace, where the formal announcement of the birth will be made. The bulletin will be displayed on an easel for all to see on the palace forecourt. It is the way the Duke and Duchess want it, avoiding the news coming via Twitter, Facebook or even email if possible. It is the traditional method of making a royal birth announcement. Most of the crowd here at the moment are tourists passing by, or lingering after watching Changing of the Guard earlier. What they might see perhaps later today or on Tuesday is a piece of royal theatre. If they peer hard through the palace gates they'll get a first view of the announcement and discover the sex and time of the birth of the third in line to the throne. Daniela Relph York If Prince Charles is at all anxious about becoming a grandfather he certainly isn't showing it. As he stepped off the Royal Train - hauled into the Railway Museum by a steam engine - he looked totally relaxed . This royal arrival was greeted with enthusiasm by a small crowd of schoolchildren and museum staff although it's another royal arrival they were all talking about. But they were all too polite to ask . A journalist who stepped forward to enquire about it was told firmly not to. A short while later a member of the public did get to ask him, but his reply was simply that he hadn't heard anything . Reminders of what royal watchers are excited about were everywhere though. It wasn't long before the Prince of Wales was inspecting a locomotive called Prince William which used to haul the royal train. It was then on to York Minster to see restoration projects before continuing to other Yorkshire venues on his official duties. Regardless of what's going in a London hospital, for Prince Charles it's business as usual today. Danny Savage Bucklebury Village Bucklebury is a quiet place - gentle and reserved, thatched cottages and oak trees, horses and bicycles. An old-fashioned English village, without much emotion on show. But, if you scratch hard enough, you do find a buzz of excitement about the place - albeit a very polite and reserved buzz. As villagers water their hanging-baskets and sip gin and tonic in their gardens, they have a sparkle in their eyes. \"Any news?\" they enquire, as the many international news teams wander around looking for... anything! Kate Middleton is well-known and well-liked here. Villagers are proud of the fact that she grew up locally - and that her parents still live nearby. Bucklebury has seen many kings and queens in its 1,000 years of history - but when the bells peel here to celebrate the arrival of this future monarch, it will be a very special moment indeed.

            "input": "By Jorn MadslienBusiness reporter, BBC News, Geneva motor show The car's ability to attract £125m investment and create some 2,000 jobs in the UK was widely hailed by British politicians and media as a great success. As far as the carmaker is concerned, however, the Invitation is merely one of the 51 models it is planning to launch over the next six years. On average, that is a car launch every six weeks - though not all of them will be sold globally, of course, and many of them will be mere tweaks to existing models. Nevertheless, many of the new cars will be produced in several factories at the same time, so Nissan says it is actually preparing to start production of a new or a refreshed model in one of its factories every two weeks between now and 2018. \"Last year, we sold 4.2 million cars, this year we're gonna sell probably going to sell over 4.7 million cars and the next year even more,\" grins Andy Palmer, executive vice president at Nissan, in charge of global products. \"This is a brand very much on the move.\" Asian brand Nissan's model onslaught is part of an ambitious strategy aimed at lifting global sales from just over four million cars currently to almost eight million in 2016. \"New cars are always part of growth,\" says Mr Palmer. \"In Europe, and globally, our intention is to take an 8% market share. \"Within that strategy, Europe is a very important component. It's very much our intention to become the number one Asian brand in Europe.\" Dramatic growth Nissan is already growing at a dramatic rate, with global sales rising to 4.67 million vehicles in 2011, up 14.4% when compared with 2010. The carmaker enjoyed particular strength in Europe, where sales rose 25% when compared with 2010. Last month, Nissan's market share in Europe stood at 4.1%. And within Europe, Russia rose to become the carmaker's main market, with sales rising 74% to more than 138,000 cars. Look-alikes Creating a closer family resemblance between different Nissan models is a central idea behind Nissan's strategy. The idea is that small and large models should look similar, the way a father and a son might, yet allowing for different sizes and abilities. In the past, Nissan's loosely connected model line-up has been criticised because it has failed to build strong brand loyalty the way rivals such as Ford or Volkswagen have, with their tightly connected ranges of cars that enable customers to grow up with the brands by moving from smaller to larger models that resemble each other. This is now being fixed, with the Hi-Cross concept an example of things to come. \"It is an SUV concept that will sit above the Qashqai,\" says Mr Palmer, insisting that the car represents a \"flow of architecture that will resonate across the whole brand\". Nissan's new design language is central to its growth plan, according to Mr Palmer. \"You very much have to know and be true your own personality and be confident in your brand's DNA,\" he says. \"It's that personality that drives brands, it's that personality that drives growth of the brand worldwide.\" 'Adapt quickly' Nissan also believes its ability to speed up the vehicle development cycle has made it a more competitive company. Currently, it takes the carmaker just three years from when an idea is hatched to when a car rolls off the production line, which means it can adapt quicker to changing consumer tastes than many of its rivals. \"You can do virtually everything in a digital environment,\" says Trevor Mann, Nissan Europe's senior vice president for manufacturing. \"And our organisation is of a size and a quality to be able to adapt very quickly.\" For a rather small car, Nissan's Invitation has attracted a great deal of attention at the Geneva motor show this week. The Geneva motor show is open for the public from 8-18 March.",

Several weeks later, I went to meet her, along with Maren Marshall, 53 - who also got in touch to let me know she too had been diagnosed following the programme - to chat over tea and cake. \"I'd got myself a nice big glass of sherry and I sat down, put my feet up on my recliner, put a blanket over my legs [to watch the Real Full Monty], and was looking forward to the next day because that was when family were coming.\" Margaret says she laughed and cried along with the programme, but something struck her. \"You said that you'd found you had an inverted nipple and that your breast had gone flat,\" Margaret tells me, \"and that's when you had the alarm bells ringing. \"At the end of the programme it flashed up, 'Now ladies, go check your breasts'. \"I stood in front of the full-length mirror and there it was, that one [breast] was much shorter than the other. \"The nipple had gone right up and half inside. Then I started to feel my nipple, and there was this craggy-feeling lump.\" Margaret was in \"total disbelief\". An inverted nipple is not always a sign of cancer - some people are born with them or they can develop over time - but if there is a sudden change in appearance it should be checked out immediately. According to the charity Breast Cancer Care, a third of people who develop breast cancer are diagnosed after finding a symptom other than a lump. 'You go into overdrive' Maren, too, was struck by the mention of an inverted nipple. \"I've always had an inverted nipple, but it was slightly more inverted than previously. \"When I don't wear a bra I'd notice that I had a significant dip, whereas before it was quite flat,\" she says. Without the programme, she adds, \"I don't believe that I would have done something about it. \"I think I might have mentioned it in passing to my doctor that my nipple started disappearing, but I don't know that I would have gone there with that appointment in mind, that I needed to talk to him.\" Maren was diagnosed with breast cancer following a hospital appointment in May, and has now had a lumpectomy to remove the tumour and surrounding tissue. Margaret is having a mastectomy in June. \"I think this coming so soon after my husband's death, it's just something else I could have done without. But it's here. \"After [the mastectomy], I won't be stuck with it, I'll be stuck with being flat one side, but I can get over that. It's not the end of the world. \"It's just that word 'cancer' - it affects everybody, you go into overdrive.\" Inverted nipple Source: Breast Cancer Care Information on the signs and symptoms of breast cancer, including those lesser known ones, can be found here. Maren says she is still \"a little bit raw and numb\" following the experience, joking that she is probably still coming round from the anaesthetic. \"I don't even remember Joe, my nurse specialist, using the word 'cancer' when he spoke to me. \"I remember, 'We need to sit down for this', but I don't remember ever hearing the word cancer until the following week when he phoned me and I was in the park.\" She says she has taken the decision to let colleagues and friends know she has cancer. \"I've told everybody. It's not a sympathy vote, I just want people to understand that this loud, gobby, forthright female is possibly going to be a little bit moody and up and down. \"I'd rather they were asking me what was wrong than whispering about me in the corner saying, 'What's the matter with her, she's a little bit down today.'\" Margaret says she has taken comfort in speaking to others too. \"It's not a death sentence. It will be gone and I shall be free of it,\" she says, resolutely. Thankfully, the outlook for both women is much more optimistic than it would have been had they chosen to watch a different channel that night.

Without them, Russia would have a massive deficit on its trade and financial dealings with the rest of the world - which is why Russia's central bank expects a capital outflow of well over $100bn this year and next. And public expenditure is almost completely supported by energy-related revenues. In their absence, the government would be increasing its indebtedness by more than 10% a year, according to IMF data. So the massive and unsustainable non-oil deficits in the public sector and trade explain why investors don't want to touch the rouble with even the longest barge pole. And Western sanctions, imposed to punish Putin for his Ukraine adventure, make it all the harder for Russia's undersized non-oil economy to trade the country out of its mess. Desperate government? Little wonder then that the rouble has halved this year, more-or-less in line with the tumbling oil price. That raises the spectre of rampant inflation - prices are already rising more than 9% a year on the backward-looking official measure. And there is the twin nightmare of a fully fledged slump: Russia's central bank expects the economy to contract not far off 5% next year. But even so the decision of Russia's central bank to raise its policy interest rate from 10.5% to 17% is eye-catching (ahem). It might work to stem the rouble's fall. Then again it could reinforce investors' fears that the government is increasingly desperate and powerless in the face of a market tsunami. Global ripples Russia isn't bust yet. In the middle of the year, it was projected by the IMF to hold reserves equivalent to about a year's worth of imports. That will probably be down to nearer 10 months now, but provides some kind of cushion. What does it mean for the rest of us? Well it doesn't help that Russia is sucking demand from a global economy that is already looking a bit more ropey, as the eurozone stagnates and China slows. As for the exposure of overseas banks - at $364bn, including guarantees - that is serious but not existentially threatening (and loans made by UK banks are just a few percentage points of that). There are also about half a trillion dollars of Russian bonds trading, with about a third of those issued by the government. Most of those will be viewed by investors as junk, even if they are not officially classified as such by the rating agencies. Or to pull it all together, Russia is massively leaking cash. And absent an entente with the West over Ukraine, which does not look imminent, it is challenging to see how the hole can be plugged.",

The legal date for an assembly election to be called if no power-sharing government was formed at Stormont was Monday, but Parliament will now push it back to January 13.

On Saturday, the shutdown becomes the longest in US history. Mr Trump says the wall, a key campaign pledge, is needed to tackle a security crisis of illegal immigration. The Democrats say the wall is an \"immorality\" and a waste of taxpayers' money. President Trump has refused to sign legislation to fund and reopen the government if it does not include $5.7bn (£4.5bn) for the wall. What's behind Mr Trump's threat and what could happen? He issued the threat on a visit on Thursday to a border patrol station in McAllen, in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas. He said that if Congress did not approve funding for the wall, he would \"probably... I would almost say definitely\" declare a national emergency to bypass lawmakers. \"I have the absolute right to declare a national emergency,\" he said. In a later interview with Fox News, he doubled down, declaring: \"If we don't make a deal with Congress, most likely I will do that. \"I would actually say I would. I can't imagine any reason why not, because I'm allowed to do it.\" \"The law is 100 percent on my side,\" he said. Mr Trump would have the right to undertake such a construction project in times of war and national emergency, usually allocating funds from the department of defence. But bypassing Congress would be hugely controversial, sparking allegations of the overuse of executive powers and it would almost certainly face huge legal challenges. Some US media reports suggest the White House is considering diverting some of the $13.9bn (£10.9bn) allocated last year by Congress for disaster relief in such areas as Puerto Rico, Texas and California to pay for the wall. NBC News reported on Thursday that Mr Trump had been briefed on such a plan but the White House denied it. Analysts say the national emergency move would provide political cover to reopen government while allowing Mr Trump to argue he has done all he can to fulfil his campaign promise. The BBC's David Willis in Washington says that, with no further talks with the Democrats planned, this now seems the most likely option for the president. Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, a key Trump ally, said there was no other pathway forward. What did Mr Trump say at the border? He was speaking at McAllen station, behind a display of weapons and cash said to have been seized by the border patrol. He was joined by border patrol agents, and relatives of people killed by illegal immigrants. \"If we don't have a barrier... you're not going to be able to solve this problem,\" he said, adding that people faced \"hard work\", \"gruelling problems\" and \"a lot of death\" without it. Mr Trump added: \"They say a wall is medieval... There are some things that work.\" The president said in a national address on Tuesday the wall was needed to stem a \"growing humanitarian and security crisis at our southern border\", involving \"thousands of illegal immigrants\". He pointed to illegal drug supplies, people trafficking and criminal acts by illegal immigrants in the US. The Democrats say the wall is \"ineffective\" and \"unnecessary\" and an expensive bill to taxpayers that the president had said Mexico would foot. Has Trump changed his pledge on funding the wall? Speaking on Thursday, Mr Trump said he never meant that Mexico would make a one-time payment for the wall. \"When I said Mexico would pay for the wall in front of thousands and thousands of people... obviously I never meant Mexico would write a cheque,\" he said. However, this is contradicted by an archived campaign memo from 2016, where Mr Trump outlined how he planned to \"compel Mexico to make a one-time payment\" of $5-10bn (£4bn-£8bn) for the wall. Mr Trump said on Thursday that, instead of a direct payment, Mexico would be \"paying for the wall indirectly, many, many times over\", under a new trade deal between the US, Mexico and Canada. Economists have disputed this and critics say that any savings incurred due to the deal would go directly to private businesses rather than flow into US Treasury. How is the shutdown progressing? Partial shutdowns occur when Congress cannot agree a budget by a certain deadline or the president refuses to sign it. This shutdown, which began on 22 December, has closed 25% of the government. Of the 800,000 federal employees affected, about 350,000 are furloughed - a kind of temporary lay off - and the rest are working without pay. The first pay day since the shutdown falls on Friday and will pass without workers getting salaries. They include prison guards, airport security screening staff, and members of the FBI. Some affected federal workers who spoke to the BBC said they had resorted to a number of measures, including taking other jobs, racking up credit card bills, tapping into savings or taking on loans at high interest rates to pay their bills. Thousands have also applied for unemployment benefits.",

He was hit on Highway 36, near Temple, at 23:24 by a 60-year-old woman driving a maroon Cadillac Sedan. An investigation has concluded and the driver will not be charged. Mr Quigley has had operations on a broken heel and ankle as well as a stent fitted in an artery in his neck which feeds blood to his brain. He has 10 broken ribs, a punctured lung and a fractured pelvis and skull. He has been forced to abandon his plans to return to Scotland to recuperate after doctors banned him from flying for six weeks. A Coryell County Sheriff's Office report said the driver called the police who sent a helicopter to take Mr Quigley to hospital and the road was closed. It said the driver said Mr Quigley was unable to speak at the scene of the crash and that he was \"bleeding from everywhere\". Sgt Bryan Washko, of the Texas Department of Public Safety, told BBC Scotland officers had responded to a major crash on Highway 36 in Flat, Texas in Coryell County. He said: \"A 2006 Cadillac Sedan operated by a 60-year-old woman was travelling southbound on Highway 36. \"Josh Quigley, 27, of Livingston, Scotland was also southbound on Highway 36. Mr Quigley was legally operating a bicycle on Highway 36 with an operational blinking red rear lamp fixed to his bicycle.\" He said the driver had been approaching Mr Quigley from behind when she collided with him, causing him to be ejected onto the right side of the road. \"The crash investigation is complete and concludes it was an accident, Sgt Washko said. \"It was not an intentional act so no charges have been filed.\" He said Mr Quigley sustained \"incapacitating\" injuries and was flown to Baylor Scott and White Hospital in Temple, Texas by Med Flight Ambulance. The cyclist said he was amazed by how well he had recovered in a week. He said he would now rest in the US until he was able to get back on his bike next year. Laura Smith, of the Texas Department of Public Safety, said: \"He must have had an angel on his shoulder as this was a very serious accident.\" Mr Quigley said he felt like the \"luckiest guy in the world\" for surviving the crash. He began his round-the-world trip in Edinburgh in April. He was 2,000 miles short of his 18,000 target when he was hit. It is his seventh attempt at cycling around the world. He said he was unsure when he would be able to return to riding his bike but that he hoped it would be in April. The incident is one of a number of setbacks faced by Mr Quigley since he started his trip including sweat ruining his passport in Australia, which meant he had to fly back to Britain to get a new one before carrying on with his tour. In April, just weeks into his world attempt, thieves stole his bike, which he nicknamed Braveheart, from outside a hostel in London. Mr Quigley had been planning to cycle from Los Angeles to New York for the latest leg of his trip. But after his water bottles kept freezing in the US winter, he changed course to finish his North American leg in the warmer climate of Florida. He embarked on the trip to beat depression and alcohol abuse.",

The government needs the backing of the 10 DUP MPs in order to get the agreement through the House of Commons. It comes amid reports that Theresa May is writing to the EU to ask for Brexit to be postponed until 30 June with the option of a longer delay. Cabinet sources told the BBC on Tuesday there was \"no agreement\" on how to proceed with negotiations. EU Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier said the EU would not grant a delay without a \"concrete plan\" from the UK about what they would do with it. On Monday, Commons Speaker John Bercow said he would not allow a third \"meaningful vote\" on the withdrawal agreement without substantial changes. 'Haven't softened' Mr Dodds said his party had \"good discussions\" with the government, but \"there were still, and are still big gaps\". \"We have always been very clear about the conditions under which we would back any withdrawal agreement,\" he said. \"And that is about the treatment of Northern Ireland in terms of single market and customs union compared to the rest of the United Kingdom.\" 'Incredibly unhealthy' Earlier, a Scottish National Party MP has described the DUP's influence on the government over the Brexit deal as \"incredibly unhealthy\". Gavin Newlands said it was wrong one party had more sway than the Scottish and Welsh Parliaments combined. Conservative Brexiteer MPs, including Jacob Rees-Mogg, have said they will wait for the DUP's verdict on any deal before deciding whether to back it in another vote. Please upgrade your browser Your guide to Brexit jargon Use the list below or select a button On Monday, Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon wrote to Prime Minister Theresa May about the role of the devolved administrations in talks on the future trade relationship between the UK and EU. She said she wanted to seek clarity from Mrs May about press reports that the DUP could be offered a seat at the table in future trade talks. Ms Sturgeon said she was concerned the PM's strategy for securing a majority for her deal was to accord the DUP \"disproportionate influence\". \"It seems clear that maintaining your majority in Parliament comes before respect for the properly constituted governments across the UK,\" she wrote. She added there could \"be no question\" of one political party - the DUP - being represented in future UK-EU trade talks when other political parties and devolved governments are not. The DUP has said its negotiations with the government are not about anything other than ensuring the constitutional integrity of the UK is maintained.

Mr Marshall described the past five days as \"highly unusual\" but stressed none of the deaths were linked. Last year there were just four murders across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight. The first murder investigation began when the stabbed and burnt body of Jamie Dack, 22, was found dumped in a bin at Empress Road Industrial Estate in Southampton at about 03:10 BST on Easter Sunday. Less than 48 hours later, in the early hours of Tuesday, another man's body was discovered in a burnt-out car in Chilworth. 'Highly unusual' A third murder investigation was sparked when a man, aged in his 20s, died following a fight in Waterlooville early on Thursday morning. Mr Marshall said: \"It's highly unusual to have these incidents in such a short space of time, they're not connected to each other and sometimes in policing this happens, events happen over a short space of time. \"To put it into context, in my first full year as chief constable we dealt with 18 murders in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight. Then two years ago we dealt with 10, last year we had four murders in the whole of a 12-month period, now we've had three in a week. \"Over the last week we have been incredibly busy. We have been absolutely stretched but to our advantage the Easter period is quiet which has allowed us to move in resources from other areas.\" He described murder as \"very rare\" in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight and stressed crime had been going down for five years, with the murder rate falling significantly. Post-mortem tests showed the body found in the burnt-out car in Chilworth Drove was a young adult, although his identity is still not clear. Police believe he was dead before the blaze took hold. Mr Marshall said detectives were appealing for sightings of the silver Mercedes coupe hatchback car in the area on Monday. A 23-year-old man is being questioned on suspicion of murder in connection with the death. The identity of the victim who died in Waterlooville victim has not been released. Murder suspect Sean Bailey, 28, is still at large in connection with the death. Mr Marshall said: \"We are looking for Sean Bailey at the moment. I think he's in Hampshire and we need to catch up with him now. \"If anyone knows where Sean Bailey is, please phone us and tell us where he is. I've no information that he's a risk to anyone, but don't approach him.

The defendant faces federal murder and assault charges that could carry the death penalty. The hearing lasted only a few minutes to set a date for Thursday, when the prosecution will bring evidence. Who were the victims? Eight men and three women ranging in age from 54 to 97 were killed at the Tree of Life synagogue. Several had attended the place of worship since childhood. Two brothers, and a husband and wife are among the dead. The first funerals will be held on Tuesday, for Cecil and David Rosenthal. What happened? Mr Bowers allegedly stormed the Tree of Life temple in the Squirrel Hill neighbourhood of Pittsburgh, shouting: \"All Jews must die!\" The FBI says three handguns and an AR-15 rifle, used in many of the nation's mass shootings, were recovered at the scene.

But in a role that will see him leading Christians in more than 160 countries, what does he do for the city? And could more be done to promote the archbishop as a brand to attract tourists? 'Missing a trick' The election of Pope Francis saw thousands of devoted Roman Catholics flock to the Vatican. However, huge crowds did not throng the medieval streets of Canterbury. Brand expert Jonathan Gabay said he believed Canterbury was \"missing a trick\" and should be promoting the role of the archbishop more. \"People are looking for heritage and tradition and consistency,\" he said. \"All of these things add up to the notion that all is well in the world. \"It's a great story - the archbishop is a powerful respected figure, why not make more of it? \"Remember, Christianity is a massive global brand. I would say from a brand point of view, the archbishop heads a brand bigger than Coca-Cola.\" 'Second to Venice' However, the chief executive of Canterbury City Council, Colin Carmichael, said the role of the archbishop and cathedral in the city were not downplayed. He said: \"The general feeling is that the cathedral does its own marketing very well, and without being too blasé, tourists know very well about Canterbury and the cathedral. \"So we try and promote the other elements of the city. \"The latest estimate is that eight million people a year come to Canterbury in a city of 50,000 people. We are the second most densely visited city in Europe after Venice.\" And he said there was a different dynamic in the Roman Catholic Church, which inspired the crowds outside the Vatican waiting for a glimpse of the Pope. \"It goes back to the fact that the Pope is the head of the Catholic Church - almost like a monarch - and the archbishop very deliberately isn't,\" he said. \"But without the cathedral, Canterbury would be a small market town that no one would've ever have heard of.\" 'Serious or not' The previous archbishop, Rowan Williams, supported two local homeless charities Catching Lives and Porchlight. Mr Carmichael praised Mr Williams and said he hoped his successor would be as active locally. \"Rowan Williams took it very seriously,\" he said. \"He was in Canterbury a lot and made a point of visiting churches and church schools. \"It depends on the archbishop and what person they are as to whether they take it serious or not.\" A spokeswoman for Lambeth Palace said it was too early to say which charities the archbishop might choose to be associated with. \"Canterbury is a place where the Archbishop can be grounded and refreshed and I'm sure he will relish spending time in the beautiful city,\" she said. \"It's a place where he can do his work as a priest and a bishop. He's looking forward to visiting churches and being immersed in the life of this ancient city.\"",

But in its latest summer update, the Ernst & Young-sponsored forecaster said it now expected growth to reach just 0.3%. It said the country's recovery continued to be hampered by uncertainty abroad and reluctance by businesses to invest at home. Its latest forecast is slightly below the rate of growth forecast for the UK as a whole, and marginally down on the 0.4% growth achieved in 2011. Growth next year is forecast at 1.1% although the Item Club said it believed employment levels would remain flat well into 2013. Its report described export success as a \"key component\" of economic recovery, but noted that a narrow export base was acting as an impediment to Scottish growth. It said exports had been boosted by the fall in the value of Sterling, while the success of the whisky industry had \"proved to be a boon\". But the report added that the \"narrowness of recent successes\" suggested that the ability of Scottish businesses to capitalise on export opportunities was weaker than that of the UK as a whole. 'Dangerous phase' Dougie Adams, from the Scottish Item Club, said: \"There are fears that the world is stumbling deeper into crisis. \"The eurozone dilemma has entered a dangerous new phase, questions are being asked of China's ability to avoid a property-driven hard landing and the US recovery can be described as lacklustre at best. \"The resultant consternation means cash-rich corporates are showing little or no intention of putting their cash piles to work. \"Growth prospects will remain poor unless this money begins to flow into our economy, while the caution exercised by the corporate sector means that the public sector deficit is unlikely to narrow any time soon.\" The economic forecaster said it expected overall manufacturing output to stagnate in Scotland in 2012, while construction was forecast to grow in line with the economy at 0.6%. The businesses services sector is expected to enjoy output growth of around 2%, a little below its pace of growth in 2011 and well down on it pre-crisis trend rate of growth. The report argued a number of associated risks continued to cloud the forecast. \"The eurozone crisis is the most pressing risk to the Scottish economy,\" said Mr Adams. \"Our forecast is predicated on policymakers containing the crisis and averting a Greek exit from the single currency. \"The opposite scenario could trigger a chain of events that results in the collapse of the eurozone and leads to significant falls in output and employment in Scotland.\" A Scottish government spokesman said: \"This report highlights that companies are sitting on cash and not investing. In such times it is therefore vital that government does all that it can to support the economy. \"It is clear that the Westminster Coalition government's austerity approach is failing. \"The Scottish Government has repeatedly called on the UK Government to follow a growth agenda to improve economic confidence, support businesses through improved access to finance and invest in the country's infrastructure. \"We continue to press the UK Government to fund a list of more than 30 'shovel ready' construction projects in communities across Scotland which would boost economic activity and jobs.\"",

It added the government failed to produce a map of the affected areas, leading to fake maps circulating. A spokesperson said the government responded \"rapidly and decisively\". The city's lockdown was announced by Health Secretary Matt Hancock on 29 June. In the report, MHCLG non-executive director Dame Mary Ney said of the announcement \"there was some confusion about the nature of the restrictions (not helped by \"loose use of the term 'lockdown')\". She also said there was confusion over \"the timing of commencement of the measures and the geographical reach\". A geographical map of the areas affected by the local lockdown was not provided until the day after Mr Hancock's announcement. Dame Mary said: \"Misinformation and speculation circulated on social media and there was a lack of a clear message. \"It hampered the ability to support local businesses.\" She added the government should consider using a checklist before announcing further lockdown restrictions, which could include a map, details of the restrictions, and the timing of the measures coming into force. During the lockdown, Leicester mayor Sir Peter Soulsby criticised the government for not sharing data on infection rates quickly enough with the city council. In July, he said it had taken \"weeks\" to \"finally get some useful data\" from authorities. Dame Mary wrote in the report that work to improve the availability of data was ongoing. She also commended the city council for its work to share lockdown information with businesses, local communities and in different languages. The report highlighted the 2,000 volunteers who were recruited to help across the city in roles such as delivering home test kits. Sir Peter told the Local Democracy Reporting Service: \"Lessons have been learned, we haven't yet seen anywhere subject to the same level of restriction that Leicester was with schools and businesses closed. \"In that sense, what happened here has helped other areas.\" Upon publication of the report, housing minister Robert Jenrick said he had asked colleagues in Whitehall to \"weave the learning\" from the report into \"longer term work streams in this area\".

            "input": "By Matt McGrathEnvironment correspondent 1 - \"Boy, we are in trouble\" This phrase was uttered by Prof Sir Bob Watson who has chaired this report from the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES). While Sir Bob went on to explain that there is still hope and much we can do to save nature, I think it's worth dwelling for a moment on just how much trouble we are in. Globally, two billion people rely on wood to meet their primary energy needs. Around 70% of cancer drugs are natural, or are synthetic products inspired by nature. Then there's all that water that nature cleans, all the food it provides, all the CO2 it absorbs, all the storms that it blocks. I could go on, but the picture is very plain. Humans are more dependent on nature now than at any time in our history. Over the past 50 years, as the world's population has doubled, we have pulled more people out of poverty than ever before. And how have we done it? By burning, poisoning and trashing large sections of the most biodiversity-rich lands and oceans. This has killed off thousands of species and now threatens a million more. \"Nature is changing in part because there's more of us and we are consuming more,\" said one of the IPBES co-ordinating lead authors, Dr Kate Brauman. \"As people become more affluent they have bigger footprints, they eat more they drive more and they fly more.\" 2 - \"We need to change the stories in our heads…\" One key message from the assessment is that we need to re-evaluate what we mean by the idea of a \"good life\". For centuries, in western culture, this has all been about accumulating wealth, working hard, making sacrifices for the benefits of our children. Progress, as defined in many families, has meant children earning more than their parents. More money, more things. \"We need to change the way we think about what a good life is, we need to change the social narrative that puts an emphasis on a good life depending on a high consumption and quick disposal,\" said Prof Sandra Diaz, one of the co-chairs of the IPBES report. \"We need to shift it to an idea of a fulfilling life that is more aligned with a good relationship with nature, and a good relationship with other people, with the public good. \"We need to change the stories in our heads, because they are the ones that are now enacted in decisions all the way from the individual up to government.\" She added: \"Changing that is not easy but this is what it would take to reach the better future for the children that are born this year.\" 3 - The value of nature or the nature of value? One of the major themes of this assessment is the term \"nature's contribution to people\". This is a central concept that the authors really want to drive home. While it looks like a bland bit of bureaucratese, it actually carries a lot of weight. For a long time economists have tried to encourage the idea that the value of nature was best expressed in monetary terms. They have argued that this makes it easier to explain to politicians and citizens that wetlands or pollinators matter because they have value and contribute to the economy in a real financial sense. The phrase they have used to capture this sense of the value of nature is \"ecosystems services\". But some ecologists argue that a financial definition is very damaging for nature, allowing it to be commodified and treated as just another good. This new assessment wants the world to move on from measuring nature's value in pounds, dollars or yen. It wants to ensure that the full value of natural resources are taken into account. \"If you have a natural forest it doesn't appear at all in your account books at national level, your wealth is not affected at all,\" said Ina Porras, from the International Institute for Environment and Development. \"The moment you allow the extraction of timber then your GDP will increase - it's only by allowing the destruction of this resource that the economy seems to be growing.\" \"What we need to do is change that because that forest is providing many other services that are simply not accounted, if you destroy it, looks as if you are increasing your wealth but you are not.\" 4 - Local is good for global… One of the key differences in this report is that the authors have worked hard to include a broader range of knowledge than in many typically \"western\" scientific studies. They have sought out indigenous and local knowledge and given it due weight in the report. One key finding is that while nature is declining in lands managed by local communities, it is declining less rapidly than in other areas. The authors say that local knowledge and understanding on how to manage nature should be given more weight by governments. We can all learn from them. The Yucatan peninsula of Mexico, has seen evidence of this power of local knowledge in action. After the NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement) treaty was signed in 1994, there were expectations that hybrid varieties of maize from the US would swamp local, native breeds. \"The farmers there tell me that the locally adapted traditional varieties of maize do better under climate change with increasing droughts,\" says Dr Rinku Roy Chowdhury, from Clark University in Worcester, Massachusetts, who has worked in the region. \"But they are not sure, so they are hedging their bets and investing in several different varieties. \"It is a really interesting process of decision-making under uncertainty which is we are all trying to do as scientists focused on global change. It is humbling and illuminating to see that we have different types of scientists in these local farmers, thinking and dealing with climate change.\" 5 - 12 months to save the Earth? Not quite... One key takeaway from this report is that political efforts to enshrine protection of nature have fallen desperately flat. Back in 2010, at a meeting of the Convention on Biological Diversity in Aichi, Japan, delegates set themselves a series of targets for conservation for 2020. According to the new assessment, good progress has only been made on four of the 20 goals. The negative trends in species loss will also make the Sustainable Development Goals - the UN blueprint for addressing global challenges such as poverty, environmental degradation and peace - harder to achieve. Sold for a song: Rare birds captured for their tuneful voices Threat to food as biodiversity declines What would a world without humans be like? This will have real consequences for real people as they experience hunger, health issues, water scarcity and poverty in general. So is there any political progress on the horizon? Well, just as the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) informed the Paris agreement on global warming in 2015, this IPBES report will inform the talks on a \"new deal for nature and people\". This is due to be negotiated at a key meeting in China next year. If a new global deal on nature is to be struck, then it will probably need the participation of heads of state. Right now, despite the evidence from the IPBES report, that seems a very big ask. Follow Matt on Twitter.",

It is curated by Errol Donald - a former graffiti artist whose work below was displayed in the UK's first exhibition dedicated to graffiti, in Bristol, more than 30 years ago. \"This new show is a unique visual history of a letterform that has evolved from humble beginnings,\" he says. \"It is now a highly complex and sophisticated form of design practice, still faithful to its subversive, inventive origins.\" Scroll down to see more of the work on display. Cornbread Cornbread, the pseudonym of Darryl McCray, is widely recognised as the first to popularise graffiti in the late 1960s. But in 1971 he announced his retirement, as recorded in this image from the Philadelphia Inquirer. Taki 83 Over in New York, Taki 183 began writing his name all over the city. Shortening his real name, Demetrius, to \"Taki\" - which is slang for a number of Greek names - he accompanied this with his address at the time: 183rd Street in Washington Heights. On seeing his signature tag, a reporter from the New York Times profiled him - which led to copycat tags across the city. Tagging spreads The next photograph - dated 15 June 1972 - shows more of the tag craze in the early 1970s. A woman is reading next to a US subway wall covered in tags by artists Flowers, Dice, CAY 161 and Stay High 149. In graffiti terms, a tag is its most basic form. It is simply a writer's signature in marker or spray paint, although it will often be stylised. The photograph above, taken around 1970, is of a wall in Philadelphia. Artist Kool Klepto Kidd claims to keep the peace, Cool Earl declares he is all love and Bobbi Cool writes that he is king. On the image above from New York in the early 1970s, curator Errol Donald says that \"Stitch 1 was a legendary writer from Ogden Avenue in the Bronx and Rocky 184 was his girlfriend. \"The pair met in 1969 on the corner of 188th Street and Audubon Avenue, which would eventually become known as Writers' Corner 188.\" \"The fashion and the graffiti of the era could not be captured more perfectly than in this photo from 1973,\" says Donald. \"Snake 1, Static 5, Flash 191 and Stitch 1 at the PS 189 school yard in Washington Heights, New York.\" The next 1970s image - from a Philadelphia subway station - shows a woman standing in front of a large TITY peace sign marking. While in the Bronx in New York, torn Richard Nixon political posters co-ordinated with the red and black tags of writers such as Charmin 65. Bando Bando, real name Phillip Lehman, grew up in Paris and New York. In the 1980s, he began the Crime Time Kings, a graffiti crew from across Europe made up of himself, Mode2 and Shoe. Mode2 Born in Mauritius, Mode2 came to London in 1976, becoming one of the forerunners of the British graffiti and street art movement. Covent Garden in London was the centre of the UK's hip-hop scene in the 1980s and was where he founded the influential graffiti group The Chrome Angelz. Niels \"Shoe\" Meulman Known for his paintings that blend graffiti and calligraphy, Niels \"Shoe\" Meulman initiated the Calligraffiti movement. The visual artist, who has work in the The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, has said about his work - \"a word is an image and writing is painting\". Delta Delta, the alias of Boris Tellegen, is a Dutch artist who also has roots in the 1980s graffiti scene. After studying at Delft University of Technology he began to experiment with sculptural versions of the graffiti style using bright colours. Shok-1 A student of applied chemistry, Shok-1 spray-paints his art - which is based on X-rays - on to walls around the world. He creates freehand - without stencils or tape - blending art and science. Part2ism Yorkshire-born artist Keith Hopewell creates art under the name of Part2ism. His complicated, colourful pieces are a long way from the early tags that covered walls in New York and Philadelphia. Zaki Dee Finally - the work of Zaki Dee - another founding member of The Chrome Angelz group.

And although pay levels for bankers have fallen a bit since then, and more remuneration is deferred and capable of being cancelled if deals go bad, the sums shelled out still look enormous at a time when earnings for the vast majority of households continue to be squeezed. There is however an awkward twist for the government this year. Which is that new European Union rules mean that if banks want to pay bonuses greater than 100% of salary, they have to get the approval of shareholders - and in the case of semi-nationalised Lloyds and RBS (in particular) that would require a \"yes\" from the Treasury. To labour the point, the government, as 80% shareholder in RBS, would have to formally approve any desire by RBS to pay 200% bonuses to its top people. 'Consulting' So, does RBS want to do this? Well, the huge bank is \"consulting its shareholders about this\" but insists that it has made no formal request. As for the Treasury, it too says that RBS \"has not made a request\". And the Treasury also points out that it is challenging the EU cap on bonuses in court, because it agrees with the head of the Prudential Regulation Authority, Andrew Bailey, that any limit on bonuses will \"just increase base pay, reduce claw back [the ability to get money back for poor performance] and undermine financial stability\". Or to remind you what you already know, for bankers big pay is as natural as cold weather in January. And if they don't get it in the form of enormous bonuses, they'll take it in higher salaries - or move to Switzerland, New York or Singapore. Exodus Some might say good riddance. But owners of banks that cannot move their branches to Switzerland, New York or Singapore might fear that the value of what's left would be depleted. Labour, of course, sees what looks like a wide open, undefended goal, and is calling on the government not to sanction big bonuses at RBS. Whether Labour would take precisely the same view if it were in government and was the RBS shareholder, and if it was advised that not to pay the market rate would lead to the exodus of whatever talent is still at this political football of a bank, well that is the kind of hypothetical question that could make us all go blind, if we thought about it too much.",

The estate was never contacted about using the likeness of Biggie.\" \"I am not sure who told Kylie and Kendall Jenner that they had the right to do this,\" Wallace said on Instagram. \"The disrespect of these girls to not even reach out to me or anyone connected to the estate baffles me. \"I have no idea why they feel they can exploit the deaths of Tupac and my son Christopher to sell a T-shirt.\" Sharon Osbourne, reality TV star and wife of Ozzy Osbourne, also criticised the use of her husband's band, Black Sabbath, on the T-shirts. She wrote on Twitter: \"Girls, you haven't earned the right to put your face with musical icons. Stick to what you know… lip gloss.\" The \"vintage T-shirts\" were described as \"one of a kind\" and while shoppers could select which image of Kendall and Kylie they would like, the band T-shirt was apparently chosen at random. Fans had also criticised both the design and the cost of the tops. One Twitter user said: \"Kendall & Kylie are a joke, putting their face on The Doors tee and selling it for $125? That should be illegal?\" Ressa wrote: \"Or you can take a trip to the thrift store and buy 10 vintage tee's for the price of one of Kendall & Kylie's.\" It's not clear if customers who had already ordered the T-shirts will still receive their products or be offered a refund. It's also unknown if any had already been sent out. Earlier this year, Kendall Jenner was criticised for a Pepsi advert she starred in. She was accused of undermining the Black Lives Matter movement and for appearing as a \"privileged, white\" supermodel working as a peacemaker between civil rights activists and police. Kendall and Kylie Jenner first found fame as part of the reality show Keeping Up with the Kardashians, which featured their half sister Kim Kardashian and the rest of her family. They have since gone on to have their own shows and sell fashion and make-up ranges. Find us on Instagram at BBCNewsbeat and follow us on Snapchat, search for bbc_newsbeat",

The 30-year-old Refaeli, Israel's most famous supermodel, married billionaire Israeli businessman Adi Ezra at the Carmel Forest resort near Haifa. According to Israeli media reports, the couple was planning to have five drones, two helicopters and an observation balloon circling the venue, some for photographic purposes.

But Mr Katz on Sunday overturned that decision saying: \"The skies belong to all Israeli citizens and we can't offer special treatment for this event over other events.\" Israeli pilots had also objected to the ban. Two days later, according to Israeli media, the CAA, appearing to disregard Mr Katz's comments, announced a no-fly zone would be in place for safety reasons from 17:00 on Thursday to 02:00 on Friday. Mr Katz reportedly told CAA chief Joel Feldschuh: \"If the skies are not open above Bar Refaeli's wedding - you will be removed from your post.\" On Thursday evening the transport ministry told The Jerusalem Post that the skies had stayed open to all air traffic.

Previously known as Gallahers, the firm has manufactured tobacco in Northern Ireland for more than 150 years. It is the last remaining tobacco factory in the UK. Northern Ireland's First Minister Peter Robinson and Deputy First Minister said it was \"terrible news\". Full production will resume on Thursday although office staff are still working and the factory is open. JTI Gallaher said because many workers had been left shocked by the news, there was a safety issue around the operation of equipment. It is a major employer and its closure is a significant blow to the economy. It is estimated that the plant in Ballymena contributed £60m in wages to the local economy. Enterprise Minister Arlene Foster said the introduction of the EU tobacco products directive had impacted on the plant because of changes to the size of roll your own tobacco packs. In February, MEPs voted by 514 in favour to 66 against, with 58 abstentions, to approve the new anti-smoking legislation. It would have required major adjustments in technology and operations at the JTI Gallaghers's plant in the town. Criticism The company has proposed moving its existing plants in Northern Ireland and Belgium to other countries, such as Poland and Romania. Ms Foster criticised Sinn Féin MEP Martina Anderson for supporting the directive. \"Others were prepared to be champions of this EU directive,\" she said. \"Martina Anderson felt it was the right thing to do, but wasn't prepared to join the dots and to make the association that if she followed through on that support that it would cost jobs.\" However, Ms Anderson said the directive would be applicable across Europe. \"It's going to be applicable in Poland, it's going to be applicable in Romania, and it was going to be applicable in the north,\" she said. \"We have another example of big industry example using workers as a pawn. \"They are not interested in safeguarding jobs, what they are interested in doing is trying to get cheap labour.\" Ms Foster said she would be meeting the first minister and deputy first minister along with the DUP MP, Ian Paisley jnr, and the Employment Minister Stephen Farry on Wednesday. 'Tsunami' Management at the factory said there was \"shock and tears\" as staff were told the news at a series of meetings. Des Blackadder, editor of the Ballymena Times, said when the news broke it came like a \"tsunami\". \"It brought a wave of depression to this town because anybody with any common sense and certainly the workers knew that Gallahers' lifetime wasn't infinite, it was going to come to an end at some stage. But when it did come to an end yesterday, it really came with a great deal of shock,\" he said. \"There were many many ashen faces in Ballymena.\" He said the impact of the losses would be felt by many in the town. \"The vast majority of people in Ballymena would have had a relative who worked in Gallahers or would have known several friends who worked in Gallahers, so it's something which affects an entire community,\" he added. Restructuring The Ballymena factory is currently owned by Japan Tobacco International (JTI), which took over in 2007. JTI released a statement on Tuesday announcing its intention to \"restructure its manufacturing facilities as a result of significant and sustained changes impacting its global business\". It has proposed moving its existing plants in Northern Ireland and Belgium to other countries, such as Poland and Romania. Leading politicians have pledged to support the workers and said they would work to try to mitigate the job losses.",

            "input": "By Barbara Plett UsherBBC News What's changed under Trump? The threat perception: The Americans believe that Pyongyang already has the technology to fire nuclear warheads at Japan and South Korea. And they calculate that it will likely be able to hit the United States within a few years. So North Korea is now seen as a threat to US national security, not only a menace to regional allies. Hence the sense of urgency and resolve. The rhetoric: Military options have always \"been on the table\", sometimes more actively than others. But rarely if ever has a US administration been as blunt or outspoken about it. That is largely a factor of President Trump's style but it's also due to growing concern about the imminence of the threat. The military posturing: Spring is usually a tense time in the Korean Peninsula, because North Korea celebrates a number of patriotic anniversaries that can serve as launch pads for weapons tests, and the US conducts military exercises with Seoul. But this year the Trump administration added to the firepower on display, including a submarine equipped with guided missiles, and an aircraft carrier group. The confusion over the deployment of the latter, however, may have detracted somewhat from its deterrent effect. North Korea: Pyongyang has long held that it needs nuclear weapons to guarantee its security, and has been ready to face down international censure and punishment. But Kim Jong Un has shown particular determination and, unlike his father and grandfather, a disregard for the views of his only major ally, China. \"Kim Jong Il for all of his sins at least cared what other people thought and particularly cared what the Chinese thought,\" the former US negotiator Chris Hill told the BBC. \"His son Kim Jung Un doesn't seem to care what anyone thinks.\" China: China is exasperated by its recalcitrant ally and worried about the growing sophistication of its weapons. It had already begun tightening its implementation of sanctions by following through with the UN's recent ban on coal imports. But it's probably even more worried that Trump's military posturing will escalate tensions, and uneasy about his insistence that Beijing is uniquely positioned to squeeze Pyongyang. In an apparent response to US pressure, Chinese newspapers have published tougher statements about North Korea. There's also been closer coordination between Beijing and Washington. The Secretary of State Rex Tillerson says Beijing has threatened Pyongyang with unilateral sanctions if it carries out a sixth nuclear test. What hasn't changed The options: There are still no good ones. Tillerson says denuclearisation would still be the goal, but he has not been precise about conditions for starting talks. The strategy: Actually, it has sort of changed and sort of hasn't. The administration says it has. But the components - pressing for tighter economic sanctions, urging China to lean on its neighbour, and waiting for North Korea to buckle - look a lot like Barack Obama's \"strategic patience\". The difference seems to be less patience, a more credible threat of military force, and more coercive diplomacy. Tillerson says the knob on the pressure campaign is at \"five or six\" right now, with the US \"testing\" Beijing's ability to influence North Korea, and threatening to sanction parties that violate the UN embargo. Alongside China, the Trump administration is also trying to convince South East Asian nations to isolate North Korea. China: China may be more willing to turn the screws on Pyongyang, but only so far. There is no sign that it has changed its calculation of North Korea as a buffer state. Beijing fears that if the regime collapses the American security umbrella will be extended across the peninsula right to its borders. And while North Korea is a dangerous headache, America is its biggest strategic rival. Tillerson's recent assurance that the US is not seeking regime change was aimed as much at Beijing as it was at Pyongyang. The wild card: Even with a nuclear rogue state, President Trump likes to be unpredictable. And his tactics are those of a deal maker. Nevertheless observers are struggling to interpret the contrast between his hardline rhetoric and his recent suggestion of a meeting with Kim Jong Un - under the \"right circumstances\" . Barack Obama also said during the 2008 election campaign he'd be willing to meet the North Korean leader. But he did not go on to praise his adversary as did Trump, calling him a \"smart cookie\" for holding onto power by wiping out his rivals. It's not clear if the president was deliberately dangling a carrot, making another overture among several to a strongman, or simply throwing an offhand comment into the mix.",

Mr Llywelyn said: \"It's going to be really challenging because there is going to be an interpretation of what 'stay local' means.\" On Wednesday Vaughan Gething suggested people living in rural areas might be able to travel further to access facilities easily available to people in urban areas. Last year, a stay-local rule was in place as the strict lockdown was eased, with guidance - rather than law - that people should stay within five miles of home. Mr Llywelyn said: \"Of course in Dyfed-Powys, five miles isn't enough in terms of distance for travel in my patch and so we have to remind people to take personal responsibility, and the important thing is to not do things which would put you in a situation where there is a risk of spreading the virus.\" His force would try to ensure messaging was clear that people \"take personal care\".

            "input": "By Chris BowlbyBBC Radio 4 Analysis Turn on a gas alarm as a precaution, open a substantial iron gate and head down into a basement. The hum of machinery grows louder - and the smell grows stronger. Impressive but distinctly old-fashioned cylinders and pumps appear. An engineer accompanying me explains that these are \"sewage ejectors\", dating from 1888. An enterprising Victorian technology museum, you might be assuming, with working exhibits? But this is in fact the basement of the Palace of Westminster. And these Victorian antiques are all that stand between Parliament and an almighty stink. The engineer is Andrew Piper, design director for Parliament's Restoration and Renewal programme, which is planning a project lasting several years and will cost billions of pounds. He explains that \"everything from the toilets, the rainwater outlets - it all comes down to this point\" - before being ejected out to the main London drain. The ejectors were installed to stop London's sewage invading the buildings after heavy rainfall. And there they still are, working away, almost 130 years later. But, adds Mr Piper \"we can't rely on these sorts of systems for much longer\". So what happens if they suddenly fail? \"If you can't use the toilets any more a building quickly becomes unusable. The end result would be potentially shutting the building down.\" The sewage system is just one of several growing hazards. Mr Piper and his basement maintenance team struggle with constant fire dangers. There are modern electrical cables crammed next to older asbestos-covered steam pipes. And a system of vents that could carry smoke or flames swiftly through the building. The building that's meant to represent the British constitution is a kind of national monument to make do and mend, with lots of bits from different eras bolted on to each other and much left unwritten - like where all these cables and vents end up, and what they actually do. The Palace of Westminster, one of the best known buildings in the world, is in a truly terrible state. Some have known this for years. A joint committee, including MPs and peers, published a report last year which warned that the palace \"faces an impending crisis which we cannot responsibly ignore\". \"There is a substantial and growing risk of either a single, catastrophic event, such as a major fire, or a succession of incremental failures in essential systems.\" Home from home So how has this happened? And what does the state of Parliament say about the state of our politics? Firstly, there's the belief that the building represents political stability. Maintenance has long been limited by MPs' insistence that nothing must stop them from sitting there. So any repairs have been crammed into recess times. And there's another layer to this psychological attachment, says Dr Caroline Shenton, historian and former parliamentary archivist. The palace, with its bars and restaurants, gym and post offices, becomes a kind of home from home for MPs and peers, giving a \"daily sense of continuity and security\". Add to that anxiety - in this increasingly angry, anti-politics era - about what public opinion and headline writers will say as the multi-billion cost of renewal emerges. Sheffield University's Prof Matthew Flinders, chair of the Political Studies Association of the United Kingdom, who has closely followed the Restoration and Renewal programme, says this failure to take a decision is a classic example of what political scientists call \"elite blockage\". The palace, he says, \"casts a spell\" on many who use it. It represents a kind of politics with \"low expectations of public engagement\" which \"locks in by its design not only a two-party system but also a very masculine, adversarial kind of politics\". Those who benefit leave it to others to take tough unpopular decisions in the future. Meanwhile \"the building can't take it any more - we've reached a crunch point.\" He would like the current problems to be seen as an opportunity - to open up the building and change the way we do politics. Public access could be greatly improved, especially for disabled people who currently struggle to enter. Others say a renovated palace would prove a huge asset as Brexit Britain tries to reinforce its international reputation. MPs are due to debate the latest restoration and renewal plan at some point this autumn. But those who have watched years of delay and disagreement don't expect swift action. So will it take a catastrophe - like the 1834 fire which destroyed the palace's predecessor - to force a change? \"It's starting to look like that,\" says Dr Shenton. It might be that \"the whole place just grinds to a halt\". \"In terms of British pride,\" warns Prof Flinders, \"if we wait for a catastrophe to close down Parliament, it's going to be an absolute disaster.\" And as for the failure of those sewage ejectors - that would create an \"elite blockage\" like no other.

The protection was granted partly as a result of archaeological material gathered by wounded veterans, who dived on the wreck last summer. Among the findings were armour plating, gun turrets and shells left behind by the salvage operation. The dives were organised by veterans' charity Help for Heroes, Historic England and Wessex Archaeology. Dave Handley, from Help for Heroes, described the designation as \"amazing news\". The new status for the wreck means the area is now considered a nationally important archaeological site. A set of steps carved into the granite cliffs as part of the salvage operation was also granted the status. Duncan Wilson, chief executive of Historic England, said the \"distinctive\" steps were \"forever linked to the landscape\" of the island. \"Combined, the wreck and the steps provide a rare group of maritime monuments,\" he added. Recreational divers will still be free to explore the ship but the remnants will be closely managed. Due to the salvage operation and exposure to the powerful waves around the island, little of the initial wreck is left. HMS Montagu The battleship was launched in 1901 in response to rapid naval expansion in the build up to World War One. On 30 May 1906 it became grounded in thick fog while conducting radio communication trials in secret. The ship could not be saved and the remains had to be salvaged where they lay. In 1907, as part of the salvaging operation, a series of steps were carved into the rock and a 10-tonne suspension bridge installed to ease access to the wreck. Graham Scott, who helped co-ordinate the volunteers for Wessex Archaeology, described the wreck as a \"giant jigsaw of bits, lying roughly in a ship shape\".

It outperforms its counterparts on a whole host of measures from patient satisfaction to waiting times. But in early December it missed the four-hour A&E waiting time target - dipping below the 95% standard by the narrowest of margins. Since then weekly performance has got even worse. This is not a quirk. It's been dragged down along with the rest of the hospital sector. Once you strip out the small units and walk-in centres, where the pressure is less intense, nearly all England's major units are now missing the target. This is why the NHS in England has just posted it worst performance in a decade. Performance levels in Wales and Northern Ireland are even lower (Scotland seems to be performing at a similar level to England, although as the data there lags behind the other parts of the UK, it is hard to say for sure). This is despite ministers in all four corners of the UK handing the health service extra money to deal with winter pressures. So why are things deteriorating? The quick answer - and the one that was pointed out repeatedly in the past few weeks - is that attendances are going up across the UK. As England has the best and most up-to-date figures, let's have a look at these. During the first week of December there were just over 436,000 visits - up by nearly 30,000. Get involved on: But what is interesting as you delve down into the data is that it's not just A&E units that are finding it difficult - there are pressure points across the whole system. Nearly a fifth of patients who go to A&E need to be admitted into the hospital for more complex care than can be given in an emergency department. Sometimes they face long waits (classed as over four hours) before a bed can be found for them. These are known as \"trolley waits\". The current levels being seen are the worst since records began in 2010. But hospitals are also finding it difficult to discharge patients. The figures for October and November, the last full month for which they are available, were at their highest since that data set began in 2010. A significant factor in this is the squeeze on councils' social care budgets. Many of the patients who end up in hospital are frail and elderly, and when they are ready to be released need support in the community to get back on their feet. If it's not there, they have to stay in hospital, which occupies a bed often needed for other patients. Another pressure point is at the other end of the system - before the visit to hospital is made. Both the Royal College of GPs and British Medical Association have been vocal about the workload their members are facing. A recent BMA survey found three quarters of doctors said their caseload was \"unsustainable\" - and that seems to have started impacting on patients, as latest data from the official NHS England patient survey shows they are finding it more difficult to get an appointment. If GPs are unable to keep pace with demand, the obvious place patients turn to is A&E. To be fair to ministers across the UK, they have recognised this. Wales, Scotland and England have all published plans in the last 18 months to relieve the pressure on the urgent and emergency care systems. But these are all long-term solutions. In the short-term, all eyes are on what happens this winter. So what next? \"Predictions are very hard to make,\" says Chris Hopson, of NHS Providers, which represents hospitals. \"What we don't know is what will happen with Norovirus or flu. Services are so stretched at the moment, that all it will take is a spike in those to make it very difficult for us.\" It seems to be the case that despite all the planning, all the money, and all the hard work of NHS staff, this winter will hinge on factors outside everyone's control.",

            "input": "These changes are designed to save £11bn per year by the end of the parliamentary term. That adds up to a quarter of the annual target of £40bn of spending cuts and tax rises by 2014-15. A big saving comes from linking benefits, except the state pension, to the lower consumer prices measure of inflation. Although they both measure changes in living costs, the latest Consumer Prices Index (CPI) is at 3.4% while the Retail Prices Index (RPI), which is currently used to set benefits, is at 5.1%. The chief difference between the two is that the RPI includes housing costs such as mortgage interest payments. The CPI is typically lower - over the past 20 years it has been higher than the RPI only three times. More than half the savings - £5.8bn of the £11bn in 2014-5, for example - will come from the switch between inflation indexes. The BBC's economic editor, Stephanie Flanders, says savings for the government will not go unnoticed by those who rely on these benefits. She called the change a \"big deal\". \"Quite apart from the many other benefit changes he has announced, this change will feel like a significant cut in living standards for households that are dependent on benefits. \"Research has tended to show that the cost of the basket of goods bought by poorer households often rises faster than the basket of goods included in the CPI.\" The TUC claimed that child benefit would be £2 a week lower if it had been linked to CPI rather than RPI since 2000. Its research suggested that child benefit for the first child would now be £18.05 rather than the current £20.30. Carer's allowance would have been £48.64 rather than the current £53.90, it claimed. \"[The change] will knock a bit off benefits and that will soon mount up to a cut that will make a real different to some of our poorest and most vulnerable families,\" TUC general secretary Brendan Barber said. Pensions changes One of the country's other most important benefits is the state pension and this could be set in a different way in the future. It may be calculated in line with average earnings - the average level of UK wage rises - rather than typical prices. This marks the return to a system that was abolished by the previous Conservative government to save money, because earnings generally rise faster than prices. With wages for public sector employees frozen in the Budget for two years for all but the lowest paid and private sector firms struggling to pay higher wages, this could backfire. But the chancellor has put in place a so-called \"triple lock\", whereby the basic state pension will rise each year in line with earnings, prices or 2.5%, whichever is the greater. Disability allowance Other welfare budget savings include a shake-up of the housing benefit system. A number of reforms will be introduced, including a maximum limit of £400 a week for a house with four or more bedrooms. The chancellor will also reduce tax credits for middle income families. A range of changes will include reducing payments to families earning over £40,000 next year. Child benefit will also be frozen for three years, although an increase in child tax credits will go some way to offset this. A new medical assessment will also be introduced from 2013 for people claiming the Disability Living Allowance (DLA). \"The 2.9 million disabled people who receive DLA will be alarmed by these changes,\" said Richard Hawkes, chief executive of disability charity Scope. \"The proposal to introduce a new medical assessment for DLA appears designed purely to reduce the number of people eligible for this support.\"",

Further spending cuts to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) could be \"disastrous and costly\", they added. The FCO said there was a \"renewed focus on languages as a diplomatic skill\" despite cost-saving measures. According to the committee, the department had been dealt a \"tough hand\" with its funding since the 2010 spending review, adding that ministers and officials had \"on the whole, played it skilfully\". But it warned it was \"struggling to fill positions in critical business areas\". \"It is alarming that the strongest criticisms that we have heard about the FCO's capacity to gain local knowledge, and the most striking evidence of a shortfall in proficiency in foreign languages, relate to regions where there is particular instability and where there is the greatest need for FCO expertise in order to inform policy-making,\" the MPs said. 'Disproportionate contribution' Witnesses had told the committee of a \"shortfall in proficiency in Arabic\" and that too many positions in the Middle East and North Africa were occupied by non-Arabic speakers. It also echoed a recent warning from the Lords European Union Committee that Russian was a \"weak spot\". The committee chairman Sir Richard Ottaway said that, despite a relatively small budget, the Foreign Office makes a \"disproportionate contribution to policy-making at the highest level\". He warned: \"Impairing the FCO's analytical capacity for the sake of a few million pounds could be disastrous and costly.\" A Foreign Office spokesman said \"tough decisions\" had been taken as part of the government's deficit reduction plans, but that a new language centre had been opened in 2013 to strengthen training in \"key languages including Arabic and Russian\". \"All heads of mission in Arab countries speak the language that's used to do business in that country. 76% speak Arabic and the other 24% speak another local language,\" he added. \"We would not send an ambassador to a country without the appropriate language skills if they could not effectively conduct business on behalf of the British government.\" The report into the department's performance and finances in the 2013-14 financial year also took a critical look at the tradition of using private sponsors to support events at embassies around the world. It said events to celebrate the Queen's birthday had proved particularly lucrative. But the amount of money generated - £271,500 over the year - \"hardly justifies the reputational risk to the department\".

It had called for him to be suspended from Parliament for seven days. Mr Burns said he accepted the sanction \"unreservedly and without rancour\". In a letter to Prime Minister Boris Johnson after his resignation, he said the recommendation for a suspension made his decision to quit his post \"inevitable\". In February, Mr Burns wrote to a member of the public connected to a company with whom his father was in dispute over the repayment of a loan. He had written: \"I am acutely aware that my role in the public eye could well attract interest especially if I were to use parliamentary privilege to raise the case.\" Parliamentary privilege protects MPs from being sued for defamation for speeches made in Parliament. The Committee on Standards concluded Mr Burns had tried to intimidate the member of the public, and it was an abuse of his position as an MP which required a \"sanction more severe than apology\". It added that the dispute related purely to \"private family interests\" and had \"no connection\" with Mr Burns's duties as a Member of Parliament. Apologising to the committee in March, the Conservative MP for Bournemouth West said he should not have written to the member of the public \"in the terms I did\" using Commons-headed notepaper. 'Sense of anger' He said he had been motivated by a desire to resolve the \"long-running\" dispute, which he said had a \"significant\" impact on his father's health. But in its report, the committee accused Mr Burns of being \"driven by a sense of anger which, in our view, has affected his judgement in this matter\". First elected to Parliament in 2010, Mr Burns was made a trade minister by Boris Johnson shortly after the prime minister entered Downing Street in July last year. He was a campaigner for Brexit during the EU referendum in 2016 and was a close friend of former Conservative Prime Minister Lady Thatcher, in her final years. Writing to Mr Burns after his resignation, Mr Johnson thanked him for his \"unstinting loyalty over recent years\" and said he would \"continue to add much from the backbenches\". Another apology ordered Separately, another trade minister, Greg Hands, has been ordered to apologise to MPs for sending a Commons-headed letter to around 7,000 constituents in April 2019. The standards committee said the mailshot had breached rules which say MPs should not use Parliamentary stationery to their political advantage. It concluded that the letter, on topics including policing and transport, was \"unlikely\" to have been sent without regard to its \"political impact on potential voters\". It also accused the Conservative MP for Chelsea and Fulham of dragging the process out until after the 2019 general election, after initially offering to resolve the case in October.",

            "input": "By Martin SharkeyBBC Scotland News Michael Nairn was a canvas trader from Kirkcaldy who realised that floor cloth was a growing market. He borrowed £4,000 to set up Scotland's first factory of its type in his home town of Kirkcaldy in Fife. Opening in 1847, the perceived risk was so great that the factory was nicknamed \"Nairn's Folly\". But his entrepreneurial vision laid the foundations of an industry, with other floor cloth businesses soon setting up in the town. Nairn's leadership of the factory was short-lived - he died in 1858 three years before a new material was invented which would transform the town's fortunes. It was an English bookmaker who invented linoleum in 1861. Frederick Walton stumbled on the solution when he looked at an open paint pot where linseed oil had oxidised leaving a solid top layer on the paint. His idea was to combine linum with oleum to produce a durable floor covering. He named it linoleum after the two vital ingredients. Within three years, Walton's new floor surface was being manufactured commercially and began to rival the traditional floor cloth of firms like Nairn's. But just as the new surface was gaining popularity, the patent on the manufacturing process expired. Nairn's saw an opportunity and began to convert part of their factory in anticipation of the patent expiry. Within months, Nairn's was producing its own linoleum resulting in Walton taking Nairn's to court over breach of copyright. The judge found in favour of Nairn's, citing that linoleum had become such a household name that it was impossible for Walton's to now claim it. In Kirkcaldy, the firm, which had passed to Nairn's wife and sons continued to innovate and grow. At its peak, there were seven factories occupying 55 acres and employing more than 4,000 people. Michael Nairn & Co and local rival Barry, Ostlere & Shepherd put the town on the map, exporting nationally and internationally. Val McDermid, the crime writer who was born in Kirkcaldy, recalls the affect the industry had on the town in a BBC Scotland documentary The Town That Floored the World. \"I think linoleum was at the heart of the town because the factories were right at the heart of the town,\" she says. Many families had more than one generation employed in the business. Working for Nairn's Janet Potts has worked for Nairn's for 47 years, starting with the business two weeks before her 16th birthday. She worked in the mailroom where she delivered correspondence to the departments in the head office. For many young people, getting a job with Nairn's, was regarded as a job for life. The number of employees meant that many social clubs were established including the gramophone society, a football team and cricket team. Many of the sporting clubs competed against rival linoleum manufacturers in the town. The war years The outbreak of World War Two in 1939 led to big changes for Kirkcaldy's linoleum factories. Instead of manufacturing flooring, they repurposed their production lines to produce fuel tanks and munitions to help the war effort. The scale of the factory made them ideal for manufacturing the largest non-atomic bombs used in the war. When the war ended, Kirkcaldy concentrated on getting back on its feet and manufacture of linoleum was back in production within a few years. However, in the 1950s and 60s sales of linoleum dwindled as consumers opted for vinyl flooring or carpets. Changes to women's fashion meant that vinyl was a more durable option with the trend for stiletto heels. The closure of some of the linoleum factories and the the loss of coal mines in the area brought large scale unemployment. Nairn's biggest competitor Barry, Ostlere & Shepherd ceased trading in 1963 affecting a further 2,000 jobs. Nairn's was left as the sole linoleum company in Kirkcaldy. The company was bought by British-Dutch multinational Unilever in 1975. It retained the business for 10 years before selling it to international flooring company Forbo. Forbo decided to revive production of linoleum, marketing it as an eco-friendly and natural product that appealed to a new generation of consumers. Peter Stevenson, current employee of Nairn Forbo, said: \"Forbo had realised that linoleum was coming back and that it was only a cycle of decline, and it had cycled into decline for many times before and always come back.\" Today the Forbo Nairn factory employs over 200 people and is the only UK manufacturer of linoleum.",

Most recently, recommendations have been made by the Special Rapporteur on Extra - Judicial Executions, the Working Group on Disappearances and the Special Representative of the Secretary-General on Children in Armed Conflict. In Sri Lanka , human rights violations have been committed by the state as well as by the LTTE (Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam). Violations have also been committed by a range of other armed non-state actors. A pervasive climate of impunity, the existence of draconian laws that facilitate human rights abuse and the slow and steady erosion of democratic freedoms, have created a situation in which those who are victims of human rights abuse and who are human rights defenders have few channels through which they may seek justice and redress. Over the past two years, as a result of the escalation of the conflict, there has been a significant increase in the intensity and magnitude of the violations of human rights and humanitarian law, both by state and non-state actors. These violations have been well documented in other communications addressed to your office. Sri Lanka has also witnessed a steady erosion of the independence and effectiveness of many of its democratic institutions including the police, the public service, Parliament, the Attorney General's Department, the judiciary; and most recently, the Human Rights Commission and the Police Commission. The failure to implement the 17th Amendment to the Constitution which enabled a multi-partisan Constitutional Council to recommend members to the independent Commissions, has contributed to the deterioration of human rights and democratic practice in the country. Moreover, the many different Committees and Commissions of Inquiry set up by the government, including the Commission set up in November 2006, have had no impact in reversing the deteriorating human rights situation. At the moment there is no national institution that commands the credibility and respect of all sections of Sri Lankan society and it is in this context that human rights defenders have turned to the international community and to the OHCHR for support. It is a matter of urgency to create such a national institution that will be independent and objective in its composition, in its mandate and in its practice. We, as members of civil society, believe that the most effective way of paving the way for such a national institution and of addressing the culture of impunity that has existed for over 30 years is through the independent monitoring of human rights on the ground. This can only be done by an international field presence that has the credibility and the stature to win the confidence of victims of human rights abuse and break the cycle of silence and impunity that we live in. For such an office to be effective and to be able to reverse the deteriorating human rights situation it should be able to perform a broad range of functions. These must include: Investigations Its mandate must include the capacity to investigate all violations of international humanitarian and human rights law, either at its own initiative or on the reception of a complaint from a victim or other person. Physical Access It should have the capacity to access all areas of the country, including those areas under the control of the LTTE, the Karuna Faction and other para-military forces and visit police stations, army camps, places of detention (both acknowledged and unacknowledged) and other installations which are under the control of government forces or non-state actors. Advocacy It should be enabled to engage with all government officials, including members of the armed forces, the police, other special forces, the Human Rights Commission, the Police Commission, the Sri Lanka Monitoring Mission, members of civil society and other institutions either through written or verbal communications and share its findings with these officials and institutions and make recommendations and offer advice. It should be able to perform a similar role with regard to the LTTE, the Karuna Group and other non-state actors. Public Reporting It should be mandated to document all violations of humanitarian law and human rights law and to disseminate these reports to those responsible for such violations; to the organs of the United Nations; to civil society and to the public. Composition It should consist of trained and experienced human rights monitors from the global north and the global south with a field presence in different parts of Sri Lanka, but especially in those areas that have been the venue of serious human rights violations. We would urge you to raise this issue, as a matter of priority, with the Government of Sri Lanka and the LTTE during your visit to the country. Sincerely, 1.

She then took out a temporary restraining order against the 53-year-old obliging him not to get in contact and to stay 100 yards away from her. The order was withdrawn when they agreed the divorce settlement. Depp earns $48m (£36m) a year, according to Forbes magazine. Charity donations are usually tax deductible up to 50% of someone's salary in the US, according to the IRS.

Steps will be taken to prevent water quality in these areas from deteriorating. Ministers said the measures were the first of their kind in the UK. They were introduced to replace the repealed European Shellfish Waters Directive. A list of Shellfish Water Protected Areas has been published on the Scottish government website. In July, all shellfish harvesting sites in Shetland were closed and mussels from the islands withdrawn from sale for a period after unusually high levels of naturally-occurring toxins were detected by the Food Standards Agency. In the previous month, members of the public were advised not to eat clams and mussels from two areas of Fife, after high levels of toxin were found in shellfish. 'Sustainable future' Environment and Climate Change Minister Paul Wheelhouse said: \"The aquaculture and freshwater fisheries sectors are significant contributors to Scotland's economy as a whole as well as critical to the economies of many coastal and rural communities. \"We want to ensure both sectors have a successful and sustainable future, and ensuring Scotland's precious marine environment is protected is a key part of that. \"Shellfish production is important for our rural and coastal communities and we recognise the need for clean water in these areas to ensure a high-quality product which is safe for human consumption. \"It's important that we maintain the current high standards of water quality, but also protect against and reduce pollution in shellfish waters.\" He added: \"These new measures not only do that but also significantly expand the area of water protected to enhance support for shellfish life and increase the number of high-class edible shellfish products.\"",

            "input": "By Douglas FraserBusiness and economy editor, Scotland DFDS stopped groupage exports last week after delays in getting new paperwork for EU border posts in France. That was due to have resumed now but the company has told customers it will not begin again until next Monday. Paperwork will then have to be approved before consignments can be sent to DFDS's warehouse in South Lanarkshire. That vast, chilled site in Larkhall is where many smaller batches of seafood are consolidated into truckloads. It is then transported to the English Channel ports and on to customs and the large market in Boulogne-sur-Mer. Delays are reported by industry sources to have meant a sharp drop in exports - in one company's case, the normal flow of 100 tonnes of seafood per week resulted in only 8.5 tonnes being shipped. Salmon and some other single company truckloads have gone ahead. That is because the required paperwork - called an Export Health Certificate - is relatively simple for one load from few sources. More than 10 trucks left Larkhall for export on Tuesday night. A normal night would see about 27 despatched. Prime Minister Boris Johnson told a committee of MPs fishing businesses would be compensated for what he described as \"temporary frustrations\". Where truckloads might have many species of fish, landed by different boats, at different ports, and sent to market by different wholesalers, that has made for much more complicated groupage paperwork. One consignment without the right paperwork can hold up all the others. Last week, as exporters realised the demands of the new regime, it took as long as eight hours for a qualified veterinary inspector to sign off the truck load. Some loads did not have the paperwork required, and had to be redirected into the UK market. 'Painful effect' A statement from DFDS on Wednesday said computer systems had been adjusted and extra employees trained to help customers with accurate customs declarations. The Groupage Export Service will start again on Monday 18 January, but it will not be an overnight service, Instead, it will take two nights from arrival at Larkhall to reaching the French market - known as \"day one for day three\". DFDS acknowledged the \"painful\" effect of the interruption to exports on its customers. It added: \"We will continue to make every effort to assist those requiring support. By working together we aim to have a robust service running very soon again.\" In Parliament on Wednesday, Prime Minister Boris Johnson was challenged by SNP Westminster leader Ian Blackford on the damage being done to the seafood sector in Scotland. The issue also arose following a statement in the Commons by Michael Gove, the UK cabinet secretary taking the lead on new trading arrangements with the European Union. He acknowledged the government has a lot to do to ensure the steady flow of goods into Northern Ireland as well as into Europe. New guidance Mr Gove said: \"We are also working closely with industry to address specific problems of moving mixed food loads from Great Britain to Northern Ireland through the process known as groupage. \"In the coming days, the government will issue new guidance on the practical mitigations that have been developed with industry to enable this important practice to continue and to support hauliers and suppliers.\" He went on to say these would also apply to exports across the English Channel. Meanwhile the prime minister told a committee of MPs: \"Insofar as there are delays caused by a variety of problems, we will compensate those fishing businesses.\" Jimmy Buchan, of the Scottish Seafood Association, welcomed Mr Johnson's \"unequivocal promise\" and said he looked forward to engaging with the government on the detail of the package.",

            "input": "By James MelleyBBC Essex The process, which is often called fracking, is controversial, with claims that it harms the environment. Several groups of campaigners recently took part in a camp to protest against drilling in Lancashire, whilst a separate group marched against proposals in Cowbridge in South Wales. But what is inspiring people that have not been involved in environment campaigns to start protesting about this? \"Like the campaign against the third runway at Heathrow airport, fracking is something that worries more than just people local to where the drilling could happen,\" says Philip Mitchell from the Green Party in Blackpool. Despite his party membership, he says he had not previously been on an environmental protest until the recent camp: \"I am concerned that, like in America, fracking could impact on communities and the countryside,\" he says. Fracking is the process of using high powered jets of liquid containing chemicals to break up underground rock so that it releases natural gas for fuel. It's hoped that it could provide a secure source of energy in the UK, which is a key part of the government's energy policy. But drilling in Lancashire was suspended earlier this year after two minor earthquakes near Blackpool in June, and in the US some householders near drilling sites claim the chemicals used and the gas it releases pollutes local water, and can even cause it to ignite. Job creation Cuadrilla Resources, a company carrying out Hydraulic Fracturing in the UK, says its techniques are well tested and safe. They say producing more gas in the UK will lower the cost of energy for consumers in a time when importing fuel is expensive, and that trying to find shale gas and then exploiting it will create thousands of jobs. Exploration in Wales suggests there could be £70bn worth of gas stored in underground rock. But campaigners claim more than a hundred people attended \"Camp Frack\" in Banks, Lancashire where Cuadrilla Resources is carrying out test drilling. Amongst them was Allie Connolly, who travelled almost 300 miles from his home in Brighton to take part. He says as well worrying about the possibility of immediate damage, \"fracking is scraping the bottom of the fossil fuel barrel when we should be developing alternative sources of energy\". Connolly set up a website called frack-off.org.uk last summer, and says he can imagine the spread of the shale gas industry around the country. \"There are a lot of people that feel very strongly about this, and there are new groups popping up all over the place to oppose plans for drilling\". At the moment there are planning applications for exploration north of Woodnesborough in Kent, for the Llandow Industrial Estate in South Wales and an application to extend drilling at the Preese Hall Well in Lancashire. Exploratory drilling On the same day as Camp Frack started, protestors marched past Cowbridge town hall in South Wales against a proposal for exploratory drilling for shale gas on the Llandow Industrial Estate. Vale of Glamorgan Council is considering an application by Eden Energy and Coastal Oil and Gas Limited, and have held a special meeting for residents to voice their concerns. A decision on the plans is expected by late September, but permission has already been granted for exploration near Maesteg in the Vale of Glamorgan. Louise Evans runs Llandow Caravan Park, which is a mile away from the proposed exploration site. She was so worried about the impact it could have on her business she set up the group \"The Vale Says No\", which is her first foray into environmental campaigning. The group recently held a meeting to explain their concerns to local people, Louise says more than 200 people came, and many of them had never been part of a protest group before. \"Many of them were older people - not stereotypical environmental campaigners. We're worried about the impact fracking will have on the countryside, and that if the land becomes contaminated it could harm farming and might drive away tourists,\" she says. There are calls for the Welsh and UK governments to establish a policy on shale gas exploration, although MPs on the Energy and Climate Change Committee rejected safety concerns and recommended that drilling be allowed. But with Cuadrilla Resources claiming there is 200 trillion cubic feet of gas in shale under the Bowland Basin in Lancashire which could provide power well into the future, as well as its extraction possibly creating more than 5,600 jobs, the controversial issue of fracking is likely to be with us for some time to come.",

The three men were working on the Nicola Faith, which failed to return from a fishing trip in the Irish Sea. \"I just want him to be home and safe,\" Mr McGrath's girlfriend Amy Lamb told the Conwy Nub News. Speaking after the search was called off on Friday, HM Coastguard's Rob Priestley said: \"We have carried out highly-concentrated and thorough searches of wide areas off the north coast of Wales to locate this vessel - using all available resources - but, sadly, nothing has been found so far. \"Our thoughts are with the family and friends and the wider community at this difficult time.\" Mr Priestley thanked all agencies and people involved in the search, including people who used their private vessels to help. The 10m (33ft) fishing vessel was expected back at Conwy port late on Wednesday night. The coastguard said the alarm was raised on Thursday at 10:00 GMT and a major operation, including seven RNLI lifeboat crews and three coastguard search teams, was launched. Rescue teams said the fishing vessel was last seen at 22:00 on Wednesday night off Rhos-on-Sea - east of Conwy and Llandudno in Liverpool Bay. The search - covering hundreds of square miles - resumed off the north Wales coast at first light on Friday after it was suspended overnight. \"I don't think anybody understands until they are put into that situation,\" added Ms Lamb. \"I'm heartbroken. I just want him to come back. He usually goes out between Rhos and Conwy. \"He's been doing the job for about four years now, so he is very handy. He knows exactly what he's doing and he's absolutely fantastic at his job. He is probably one of the best fishermen in Conwy. \"He was a builder originally and he built the boat himself and then became a fisherman and just excelled from there really. \"He's experienced in these situations. I'm so confused of where he would be as he would know what to do.\" Relatives and friends of Mr McGrath, 34, Mr Minard, 20, and Mr Ballantine, 39, who are all from the Conwy area, had been keeping a vigil at Llandudno's RNLI lifeboat station. Ms Lamb's sister Hannah said it had been \"the worst three days ever\" for the fishermen's family and friends. \"We don't know what to do with ourselves - we feel helpless,\" she said. Coastguard rescue teams from Bangor, Llandudno, Flint and Rhyl helped in the sea search along with two lifeboats from both Rhyl and Llandudno stations and another RNLI boat from Hoylake, Wirral. Llandudno RNLI lifeboat operations manager Marcus Elliot said conditions for lifeboat crews had been \"cold and wet\". \"The weather has not been good and it just brings it home what these boys will do, and unfortunately, their efforts this time have not so far resulted in any positive information.\" Friends of the missing crew had been helping scour the local coastline for any possible debris that may have drifted ashore. The family of Mr Minard, from Penmaenmawr, said he had been working in Devon as an apprentice ship's engineer. He had only been working on the Nicola Faith for a few weeks, having moved home because of the Covid-19 pandemic. Mr Minard's family said they believed the crew were dropping lobster pots when they went fishing on Wednesday. They hoped the boat had broken down and merely drifted beyond the search area. As well as a coastguard search and rescue helicopter from Caernarfon, a fixed-wing coastguard aircraft also took part in the operation. The RNLI lifeboat from Beaumaris also searched around the Puffin Island area off the Anglesey coast on Thursday. Rhyl RNLI volunteer Paul Frost said the search operation covered a huge area, adding: \"It is literally hundreds of square miles, the area searched is something like 30 miles across by about 15 miles out as well. \"That's why so many resources have been utilised to try and search the area adequately.\"",

The Brexit transition period is due to end on 31 December 2020. UK Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab has said it is likely negotiations were entering the \"last real major week\". Although the UK has officially left the EU, both sides have been locked in talks for months about their future relationship. Mr Coveney said there were two issues which needed to be resolved - competition and fishing. The Irish minister said competition should be on a \"level playing field\" and agreement was required on a governance mechanism for potential disputes. Fishing was a politically-emotive subject and there was a need to reach a compromise \"that both sides can live with\", he said. \"What we're trying to do at the moment is close out a negotiation,\" he said. \"Make no mistake at the start of next year there is going to be a very different trading environment across the Irish Sea.\" A no-deal situation in January, he said, would be \"so costly and so disruptive, particularly for the UK and for Northern Ireland, but for the Republic of Ireland as well\". On Sunday, Mr Raab said the talks were focused on resolving a \"fairly narrow\" set of issues. Addressing the dispute around fishing, Mr Raab said the EU should accept a \"point of principle\" over the UK's \"control\" over its fishing grounds post-deal. Mr Coveney said the EU had been \"respectful and consistent and firm\" throughout the negotiations. He was also asked about calls for an extension to the transition period or a \"grace period\" for any new arrangements. \"Even this question in my view makes me sit up straight,\" he told BBC Radio Ulster. \"The British government was offered a much longer transition period and they turned it down, yet they are now blaming the EU for it - that's just ridiculous. \"I do think a deal is possible, but it needs to be finalised this week if possible, because we really are running out of time in terms of ratification and preparation.\"",

Champagne sales jumped 64% over the key Christmas trading period, while sales of whole salmon increased by 40%. Morrisons also said it would offer its car parks to host vaccination centres. The supermarket's chief executive, David Potts, saidthree of its supermarket car parks would be hosting coronavirus vaccinations from Monday, and it would offer another 47 locations to help with the vaccine rollout. 'Severe effect' Overall sales at Morrisons rose by 9.3% in the three weeks to 3 January, compared with the same period last year. \"The pandemic has had a severe effect on people and communities around Britain for nine months now but it has been especially hard at Christmas time,\" Mr Potts said. \"I'm very pleased with the way the Morrisons team has helped our customers across the nation enjoy their Christmas in the best way they could.\" The supermarket also suggested that festive sales had been driven by the fact that rules around larger family gatherings changed in England, meaning customers had to buy for last-minute smaller festivities. In the nine weeks to 3 January, like-for-like sales, stripping out the effect of new shops opening and fuel sales, were up 8.5% and in the six months to the same date they rose 8.1% compared with a year ago, boosted by strong online sales and that of its wholesale business. 'Indulging after a tough year' Morrisons said it had also benefitted from out-of-home eating and drinking being restricted by strict Covid-19 regulations. Supermarkets were classified as essential retailers in England's second national lockdown between 5 November and 2 December, while restaurants and cafes could only operate takeaway services. According to new figures from market research firm Kantar, British people forked out £11.7bn in supermarkets throughout December in the sector's busiest month on record. Supermarket trading was boosted by the £4bn that would normally have been spent on food and drink outside the home over the Christmas season, it said. \"While celebrations may have been more low key, there were also signs of consumers keeping merry and indulging after a tough year\", said Fraser McKevitt, head of retail and consumer insight at Kantar. Cheese sales, for example, increased by 17% and chilled desserts by 15%. Meanwhile, alcohol sales rose by £310m, with options to drink in pubs, bars and restaurants limited. The firm also found that online grocery sales accounted for 12.6% of total spend in December, compared with 7.4% in 2019. 'A Christmas like no other' December is always busy for the supermarkets but this one has been the busiest on record. With all the restrictions and the closure of pubs and restaurants across much of the UK, people have had to eat and drink at home instead. According to Kantar, we spent £12bn last month, the highest amount of groceries sales ever. It's been a Christmas like no other but it seems we were determined to enjoy it. Aldi reported exceptional demand for its premium products yesterday. Morrisons says champagne sales were up 64% on last year. All the supermarkets will be toasting bumper festive sales this year and with another national lockdown in place, they're set to enjoy continuing increased demand for another few months. Online sales boost Sophie Lund-Yates, equity analyst at Hargreaves Lansdown, said Morrisons' trading update marked a \"significant milestone\" for the supermarket chain. \"Morrisons is an underdog in some ways, especially when looking at the online business, which is smaller than some rivals. \"The pandemic has given the group a chance to address this, and digital sales have more than tripled so far this quarter. \"The question now is if Morrisons can keep a firm grasp on that momentum, and push growth long and hard enough to give its competitors something to worry about,\" she added. Separately, clothing and homeware retailer Next reported a big uplift in online sales over the festive period. Online sales saw a jump of 36% in the nine weeks to 26 December compared with the same period last year, off-setting the 43% fall seen in stores. As a result, sales were 1.1% lower overall. The retailer said shoppers had shunned party outfits and work clothes in favour of loungewear. Next boss Simon Wolfson said that profits from better-than-expected sales in November and December would, however, be wiped out by fresh lockdown restrictions in England that would force 90% of its stores to close. It also has to account for additional costs stemming from disruption to its traditional Boxing Day sale and clearing stock leftover in its shops. Despite lockdown restrictions, Next is \"likely to flourish as we emerge from this pandemic\", said Julie Palmer, a partner at the financial consultant Begbies Traynor. She added that the recent administrations of the Arcadia Group and Debenhams might drive more shoppers to the retailer, as they turn to other familiar British brands. \"However, with no assurances of how long social distancing measures will be implemented and consumers now shopping for a purpose, not a pastime, the business must continue to manage costs and innovate if it is to take full advantage of these opportunities.\"",

Clinics have tried to ease the appointment pressures by treating more people at opticians. A government adviser said many low risk cases did not need to go to hospital. Nearly 100,000 people in Wales have sight loss problems and it is thought that number could double by 2050 as the population ages. 'Increasing strain' The number of eye patients waiting more than 36 weeks for their first consultant appointment in Wales more than doubled in the past year, from 4,650 in 2012-13 to nearly 11,000 in 2013-14, according to the Welsh government's annual report on eye care in Wales. Consultant ophthalmologist Chris Blyth, a member of the council of the Royal College of Ophthalmologists based in Newport, told the BBC's Eye on Wales programme that hospital eye clinics were under increasing strain. \"I think you have to bear in mind that about 1 in 10 outpatient appointments in the NHS is in an eye department and ophthalmologists perform the most common operation in the NHS - there were 16,000 cataract operations in Wales in the last year. \"In 2007, there was a new treatment for wet macular degeneration,\" he said, referring to a condition mainly affecting people over the age of 50 in which they lose sight in the central field of vision. \"So before March 2007 there were almost no patients having treatment for macular degeneration, now we've got about 4,000 patients in Wales who have to come to the eye clinic every four to six weeks.\" Sight saving Pam Watkins from Newport was diagnosed with wet macular degeneration in 2013.

She said she often struggles to get appointments within the recommended time frame. \"Sometimes I would go six to eight weeks without an injection. \"They say they are doing the best they can but it is worrying,\" she said. Ceri Jackson, director of RNIB Cymru, said she was concerned the pressure to meet hospital waiting times targets could hit patients with worsening problems. \"The referral to treatment time target is sometimes detrimental to clinicians trying to treat patients to save their sight,\" she said. \"The pressure is often to see the new patient, not the follow-up patient.\" The number of people being referred to hospital clinics has fallen in recent years, as a result of initiatives aimed at treating more people at opticians' practices. In September, the Welsh government launched its first Eye Health Care Delivery Plan which will see a number of other changes introduced to the system over the next five years. Chief optometric adviser Dr Barbara Ryan said: \"We're outlining a whole change in the way that we deliver eye care.\" She explained that not everyone with an eye condition will visit a consultant ophthalmologist as they might be seen in an ophthalmic diagnostic and treatment centre nd if \"low risk and their condition is quite stable someone other than a doctor could review them and do tests\".

The firm missed a March deadline to apply for planning permission. Swindon Borough Council said it would consider \"conversations\" with other firms. Moirai has declined to comment. Council leader David Renard said it would involve other companies if it had to. Despite the problems over the redevelopment, the 38-year-old centre has remained open to the public. When Swindon Borough Council transferred the lease to Moirai, the authority said it had to find \"external investment\" as it did not have the funds required to bring the building up to modern standards. Moirai's plans included the redevelopment of the surrounding North Star site with a music and entertainment arena, a real snow ski slope and a multiplex cinema. 'Revised dates' Four long-term leases, covering the Oasis and the North Star site were granted. Moirai did not pay for the leases, but it pays rent to the council for the Oasis. Last month, Swindon Borough Council extended the planning application deadline for the whole development site to May 2015, after the firm failed to meet the original deadline. The council has requested Moirai submits a programme of works by the end of September. Conservative David Renard said the council had agreed to \"some revised dates\" and would be \"holding\" Moirai to the new deadlines. He added: \"These are lines in the sand now because we can't keep missing these dates.\" Labour councillors are now calling for the contract to be cancelled.

Liberal Democrat MSP Jim Hume accused the government of \"ducking facts\" and urged it to address the \"housing crisis\". The quarterly housing statistics show a decrease in new social homes, private sector homes, and housing association homes in comparison to the previous 12 months. Housing minister Margaret Burgess insisted that housing was a high priority for the government and stated that 16,000 affordable homes have been created since the start of its term in 2011. She said: \"Today's statistics show we are on track to delivering our commitment of 30,000 affordable homes during the lifetime of this Parliament. \"However they also underline the continued negative impact that challenging global economic conditions and Westminster's cuts to our capital budget have had on house building activity in Scotland.\" In response to Ms Burgess, Liberal Democrat housing spokesman Jim Hume said: \"The housing minister cannot duck the facts. Since the SNP government came to office it has slashed the capital housing budget by 29%. \"With an ageing population and a projected rise in the number of single person households in Scotland, it is folly for the SNP to allow this housing crisis to worsen. Margaret Burgess must set out a clear path towards building more homes for social rent.\" 'Not enough' Scottish Labour's housing spokeswoman Mary Fee said that Scotland was facing a housing crisis that was \"entirely the SNP's making\". She added: \"They have slashed capital spend on housing, obliterated grants for housing associations and failed to fully mitigate against the impact of the bedroom tax which is having a devastating impact on social landlords. \"It's time for the SNP to make housing a priority before this crisis spins out of control, we want to see a comprehensive and ambitious housing plan that takes Scotland off pause and provides support for house builders and social landlords to build new homes. Anything less is just not enough.\" The Scottish Conservatives said the Scottish government was not doing enough to incentivise construction in Scotland. The party's housing spokesman, Alex Johnstone, said the latest figures were \"deeply worrying\". He added: \"There has been a decline in private sector completion, which the Scottish government will have been aware of for some time. \"But it has failed to compensate for this with social housing projects. \"This means that people will be languishing on the housing list for even longer than they feared. \"The SNP clearly lacks ambition for the long-suffering construction sector and would-be home owners and tenants.\" The Scottish Parliament is due to debate housing on Wednesday.",

But Mr Jones has since said he will continue until he turns 65 next spring. The Department for Media, Culture and Sport (DCMS), which is responsible for appointing the chairman, says it has not received a resignation letter. In a statement, the authority said Mr Jones had confirmed to his fellow authority members on Tuesday night that he had tendered his resignation to Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, Jeremy Hunt. The authority has now appointed a vice-chairman, Rheon Tomos, who has appealed to Mr Jones to honour what he called his decision to resign. However, Mr Jones has told BBC Wales that he had an understanding with Mr Hunt that he would remain as chairman until March next year. Mr Tomos said: \"The situation as has been well broadcast is that John offered his resignation to the authority meeting and promptly said he was leaving the authority and left the meeting. \"We had therefore to advise the Department for Culture, Media and Sport the following morning what had happened and it came as a big surprise to us then that there was all the press coverage yesterday that John said he was continuing as chairman. \"You can imagine we were a bit surprised as well because you don't actually say one minute you're resigning immediately and leave, and then the next minute, start talking to the press about the fact you are staying.\" He said the authority had to \"react in a positive way\" so decided to appoint Mr Tomos himself as interim vice-chair. \"I've got the backing of a very good group of authority members and we're just sitting back now awaiting DCMS to advise us on the position,\" he said. He added that it was \"business as usual\" at S4C. Several Welsh Conservative MPs announced on Wednesday that they believed it was time for all the authority members to step down - apart from Mr Jones. Conservative MP for the Vale of Glamorgan, Alun Cairns, said he fully supported the call. \"It seems to me that the authority members are in it to save their own skin,\" he said. He added: \"We need to remember in all this, the only person that will appoint the chairman of S4C is the secretary of state for the Department of Culture, Media and Support - that's Jeremy Hunt. \"I think we're in a position where you we have quango appointees on the S4C Authority seeking to protect their own interests and seeking to usurp the role of politicians.\" A DCMS spokesperson said on Wednesday: \"John Walter Jones notified the secretary of state earlier this month of his intention to stand down at the end of March 2011.\" Later it emerged that Culture Secretary Jeremy Hunt has rejected calls from the four party leaders in the Welsh assembly for an immediate independent review of S4C. In a letter, leaked to the BBC, to the leaders Mr Hunt said the idea of a review had merit but that it should not take place before 2015 when the partnership between the BBC and S4C had bedded in. 'Slanging match' The turmoil follows months of upheaval at the Welsh language broadcaster. It does not currently have a permanent chief executive after Iona Jones stepped down in controversial circumstances in the summer. Last month Mr Hunt revealed that the BBC is to take over part-funding for the Welsh-language channel from 2013. Deputy First Minister Ieuan Wyn Jones said: \"What S4C needs at this time is a strong, united authority which has a clear sense of purpose and direction. The debate surrounding the channel cannot continue to degenerate into a slanging match. \"These events prove once again that there is a need for an urgent independent review of the future governance and funding of S4C, and that this should take place now and not after the crucial talks between S4C, DCMS and the BBC.\"",

It is another warning emerging economies like China and Brazil are slowing down so there is more steel in the world than there is demand for. One Wales-based industry expert said prices had been dampened to virtually an all time low. The price of scrap metal is closely linked to the price of steel and the UK exports more of its scrap than it imports. So the problems with the UK steel industry are also a problem for the scrap metal industry, itself employing 10,000 people - 1,500 in Wales. The price of metal for scrap cars alone for example is about a third of what it was just over three years ago. Tom Bird is managing director of Swansea-based Mettalis and also a board member of the Bureau of International Recycling. His company buys material from all over the region, from councils to factories. 'Fundamental' It supplies Turkey and Spain but Tata in nearby Port Talbot and in Rotherham is not buying any more scrap for the first quarter of 2016. \"We've seen a huge change in the last two years and 2015 has been particularly tough,\" he said. \"Cheap Chinese steel has come into traditional European markets and we've had a high energy tariffs as a double whammy which has dampened down the price of steel scrap virtually to all time lows.\" He said steelmakers liked scrap metal prices to be high because it meant they too were getting higher prices for their products. \"The metal recycling industry is a big employer, it's fundamental to the steel sector as well,\" said Mr Bird. \"It's important because we recycle and we collect material. \"What we don't want is if the price of steel scrap to drop to such a level that becomes too uneconomic to collect and that will create an environmental problem.\" Colin Richardson from the price reporting agency Platts said scrap and steel \"touched every aspect of our lives\". He said scrap metal even helped fund new buildings and infrastructure because the scrap from old buildings was used to help fund new developments. Welsh Secretary Stephen Crabb told BBC Wales last week there was a cloud of uncertainty over the steel industry but that the UK government was \"standing on the side\" of communities and businesses. \"We've taken action to address the high energy prices that steel companies have been paying and we're taking action at a European level to try to deal with the tidal wave of cheap Chinese imports that are flooding the European market,\" he said. \"But these are challenging issues and if there was a quick, easy answer to put the smile back on the faces of those in the steel communities we would do it.\"",

Llantwit Major's town clerk Ruth Quinn said the town council would pay the one-off £250 fee so it could register its refill points on the app and use the logo, adding it was one of many ways the town was working to reduce single-use plastic waste.

They have been in operation for seven years since the 11-plus exam was scrapped by Martin McGuinness, who was then education minister. There have been attempts to create a single, unofficial exam. However, efforts to find a common transfer test have so far failed. Ms Foster said change was possible. \"People have felt that because there are two tests that it can be quite pressurised for children when they are taking those tests,\" she told the BBC's Inside Politics programme. \"Children have to take tests over a long period of time. \"We will look at that, we will talk to the people involved, we will see if that can be done for this year. \"It's something that I think can be done.\" Most grammar schools have been using unregulated tests to select pupils since 2008, when the 11-plus exam was scrapped. The numbers of entrants taking the transfer tests rose again in 2015-16. There are two testing systems - GL assessment exams are mostly used by Catholic schools, while AQE exams are mostly used by controlled schools. Currently, children aged 10 and 11 in primary seven can opt to sit either exam, both GL and AQE tests or none. The 2015-2016 academic year is the seventh year the unregulated tests have been run and the number of children taking them has increased. There were a total of 14,575 entrants to the tests this year, although some children will have sat both tests.

            "input": "Turkey agreed on Thursday to suspend an offensive for five days to allow the Kurds to retreat from the area. But on Saturday both sides accused the other of violating the ceasefire. Ankara views the Kurdish forces as terrorists and wants to create a \"safe zone\" buffer inside Syria. Despite the temporary ceasefire, some sporadic violence has continued - particularly around the border town of Ras Al-Ain. What did Erdogan say? Speaking at a televised event in the central Turkish province of Kayseri on Saturday, President Erdogan said that if Kurdish fighters did not withdraw by Tuesday evening - as agreed in the ceasefire - \"we will start where we left off and continue to crush the terrorists' heads\". The Turkish leader is due to hold talks next week with Russia's President Vladimir Putin. On Saturday he said that if those talks did not produce a solution, Turkey would \"implement its own plans\". Turkey's defence ministry earlier accused Kurdish forces of carrying out 14 \"provocative\" attacks in the last 36 hours, mostly in Ras Al-Ain, but insisted Turkish forces were fully abiding by the agreement. However, the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) accused Turkey of violating the ceasefire. They also accuse Turkish troops of failing to create a safe corridor for the evacuation of civilians and wounded people from the besieged town. On Saturday the SDF urged US Vice-President Mike Pence, who helped to broker the temporary ceasefire, to pressure Turkey to allow the passage of civilians. \"Despite the constant communication with the American side and the promise made by them to solve this problem, there has not been any tangible progress in this regard,\" the SDF said in a statement. Turkish presidency spokesman Ibrahim Kalin said they wanted the US to put pressure on Kurdish forces to withdraw. \"We have told our American colleagues to use their leverage, their connections, to make sure that they leave without any incidents,\" he told AFP news agency. The UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) said deliveries of humanitarian aid had been prevented from entering Ras Al-Ain. The monitor group said on Friday that the civilian death toll from the Turkish operation had now risen to 86. Between 160,000 and 300,000 people have reportedly fled their homes since the offensive started 10 days ago. What prompted the offensive? Turkish forces first launched their assault on 9 October, following an announcement US troops would withdraw from the Syria-Turkey border region. The Turkish plan is to clear Kurdish fighters from a buffer zone extending more than 30km (20 miles) into Syria. It would run for about 440km along the border, President Erdogan said on Friday, and be monitored from observation posts. Turkey also plans to resettle up to two million Syrian refugees, currently on its territory, in the buffer zone but critics warned the move could trigger the ethnic cleansing of the local Kurdish population. The goal was to push back a Kurdish militia group - the People's Protection Units (YPG) - that Turkey views as a terrorist organisation. Since the offensive was launched, President Donald Trump has been accused by some, including senior Republicans, of abandoning a US ally. The SDF - a group dominated by the YPG - fought alongside the US against the Islamic State (IS) group in Syria. There has been growing international concern about possible war crimes committed by Turkey and its allied militias during the offensive. Amnesty International says it has gathered \"damning evidence\" of war crimes and other violations by their side and the United Nations has called on Turkey to investigate the allegations. Unconfirmed reports have also emerged that Turkish-allied forces have used white phosphorus, a chemical weapon which causes bad burns, in Syria. The Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) said it was aware of the claims and was gathering evidence. What is the latest with the ceasefire? The pause in hostilities followed talks in the Turkish capital Ankara between Mr Erdogan and Mr Pence on Thursday. President Trump celebrated news of the ceasefire and claimed the pause in hostilities would lead to \"millions of lives\" being saved. He remained optimistic in comments made on Friday, despite reports the ceasefire was failing to hold. SDF spokesman Mustafa Bali tweeted on Friday morning to allege that Turkey was breaking the ceasefire near Ras al-Ain. \"Despite the agreement to halt the fighting, air and artillery attacks continue to target the positions of fighters, civilian settlements and the hospital,\" he wrote. President Erdogan dismissed reports of continuing clashes on Friday as \"misinformation\" but international news media recorded explosions in Ras al-Ain during the morning. The SOHR said Saturday that the SDF had not yet started to pull back from the border region. Local Kurdish media are reporting that five civilians and 13 Kurdish fighters in Ras-al-Ain have been killed since the ceasefire began, but the BBC has not been able to independently confirm that.",

            "input": "Roughly about 44% of the UK's exports go to the EU, give or take a couple of percentage points. All 28 EU member states have access to the \"single market\". This means there are no tariffs, quotas or taxes on trade and the free movement of goods, services, capital and people. If the UK voted to leave the EU, it would have to negotiate a new trade deal with it. It could become part of the European Economic Area (EEA), a deal between Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein and the European Union. These countries are not full members of the EU but have accepted EU regulations and its so-called four freedoms - the free movement of goods, services, people and capital (although the EU and Liechtenstein agreed an immigration quota so incomers did not affect the national identity of its tiny population). Or it could take the example of Switzerland, which has its own bi-lateral agreement with the EU because its people rejected membership of the EEA in a referendum. However, Switzerland's agreement also requires the free movement of people but has less access for the services industry, a vital part of the UK's economy. Some have suggested that the UK could take the example of Turkey, which is part of a customs union. That means it faces no tariffs (taxes or duties on imports and exports) or quotas on industrial goods it sends within the European Union but it has to apply the European Union's common external tariff, a set rate of tariffs on goods from outside the EU, on those goods too. However, we've concluded that what a new deal would look like remains one of the biggest questions over a vote to leave the EU. The UK's current tariff-free, unrestricted trade deal with the EU would remain in place for at least the first two years of negotiations. But no non-EU countries have negotiated tariff-free unrestricted trade with the EU without contributing to the EU budget and allowing unlimited EU migration. In terms of the effects of a possible Brexit on the economy, we've checked the report issued by the Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) which suggested the UK leaving the European Union could lead to austerity being extended by two years. We concluded that, if - like the IFS - you accept predictions that leaving the EU would cut economic growth, it is hard to imagine that would not hit the public finances. We've also looked into what the ratings agencies have said. Standard and Poor's have said it would probably lower the UK's long-term credit rating. Fitch said it would review the UK's credit rating but did not now anticipate a downgrade in the immediate aftermath. Moody's said a vote to leave could lead to a negative outlook because of greater uncertainty and a weaker economy. We have answered some specific questions about trade and the economy that BBC Radio 4's PM programme listeners asked us below. The question: Margaret asks: \"How are trade agreements negotiated and how long might they take? We presumably have little experience in this as it is done through the EU and has been for many years. Might one look south of the equator for their experiences or to BRICS (the grouping of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) for example?\" The answer: Trade agreements can vary considerably in depth and breadth. Some are very comprehensive while others are much lighter, offering less market access. Consequently, the time it takes to negotiate trade deals can vary considerably. For example, the EU first opened trade deal negotiations with the regional group Mercosur (which includes the countries Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay and Venezuela) in 2000 but negotiations are still ongoing. By contrast, negotiations for a free trade agreement between the EU and the Republic of Korea were launched in 2007 and the agreement was signed in 2010. Currently, 52 countries are covered by existing EU trade deals. If the UK left the EU and wanted to retain preferential access to the markets of these countries, it would have to renegotiate trade deals with all of them. Some could take longer than others and it would not be up to the UK only, but also to the other countries which would base their negotiating positions on their own interests. The question: Kath asks: \"Would the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) agreements still apply to the UK if we left the EU?\" The answer: TTIP is the EU-US agreement and it applies only to the EU countries. If the UK ceased to be an EU member, it would not apply to it. The UK could seek its own trade deal with the US post-Brexit, but that would have nothing to do with TTIP. The question: Paul asks: \"What is the current state of the EU's trade relations with major Commonwealth economies?\" The answer: The EU has already agreed, or is in the process of negotiating, trade deals with a majority of Commonwealth states. In 2015, 22% of imports to the EU came from Commonwealth countries and over 30% of EU exports went to the Commonwealth. Since the UK became a member of the EU, UK trade with Commonwealth countries has fallen, while trade with EU countries has increased. A 2012 House of Commons Library report states that in 1973, UK trade in goods with the Commonwealth constituted roughly 18% of the UK's total trade in goods. By 2011, this figure stood at roughly 10%. In that year, the Commonwealth accounted for an estimated 10% of all UK goods exports and 12% of all UK services exports. With regards to imports, the Commonwealth accounted for an estimated 7% of all UK goods imports and 10% of all UK services imports. The UK's main trading partners (in terms of goods) within the Commonwealth are Canada, India, South Africa, and Australia, accounting for more than 60% of goods imports and exports from the Commonwealth in 2011. The question: Bernard asks: \"Do companies in Germany and France grumble about red tape making them uncompetitive?\" The answer: German and French businesses have expressed the need to cut bureaucracy and regulations within the EU. In 2015, governments of both countries were part of a joint call of 19 EU member states to the European Commission to reduce the burdens of EU regulations for businesses. However, there is a general understanding that leaving the EU may do more harm than good to businesses and the economy. Germany, in particular, benefits from the single market as the largest member state both in terms of EU internal and external trade in goods. In 2015, Germany's share of EU exports to other member states was 22%. In France, the figure was 9% compared to UK's 6%. In a recent survey of more than 700 British and German companies by the Bertelsmann Foundation, 83% of participating German businesses said that the UK should remain part of the European Union compared to 76% of British companies that took part in the poll. Close to 30% of German businesses with operations in the UK said that they would decrease their capacities in the UK in case of a Brexit.

One ex-pupil was raped six times by Caffrey at his home during a \"campaign of rape\", Nottingham Crown Court heard. A number of offences against his seven victims took place during lesson time. Caffrey was cleared of two charges of indecent assault following a three-week trial. Police began investigating him after a victim, who said she was raped when she was nine years old, contacted officers in December 2012. Nottinghamshire Police said all but one of the offences took place when Caffrey was deputy head teacher at Northgate Primary School in Nottingham - now the Djanogly Northgate Academy - from 1978 to 1984. Caffrey, of Sandesquoy, Tankerness, Orkney, taught at 10 schools in the county in a career spanning more than three decades. Pupils \"no older than 11 years of age\" were touched while they read aloud in class, or when they were in a store cupboard in the classroom, the court heard. Two victims were raped at Caffrey's home. 'Ripe for abuse' One of the rape victims went to the police 22 years ago but no charges were brought due to a lack of evidence, the court heard. She was contacted in 2013 following the start of the investigation into Caffrey, but the original documents into the 1994 case had been lost. Michael Evans, defending Caffrey, said: \"He was a teacher for a number of years and, outside of these offences, a very good teacher.\" Judge Timothy Spencer QC said: \"You deliberately targeted these girls, you calculated that they were ripe for this sort of abuse and you calculated that they would not tell. \"Their classroom, their school, should have been a place where they felt safe and secure. They must have felt anything but.\" Det Con Rob Smith, of Nottinghamshire Police, added: \"Caffrey believed that he would be able to put his past behind him, but...it has been shown that the passage of time is no hindrance to justice taking its course.\"",

Cuadrilla is among a small number of companies exploring the UK's shale gas potential. The company estimates that there may be as much as 200 trillion cubic feet of shale gas in its licensed areas. The BBC understands a deal between Centrica and Cuadrilla is expected to be concluded in the coming weeks. Centrica is not planning to take a stake in Cuadrilla itself, but rather buy the exploration rights to a part of the shale gas fields. Through British Gas, Centrica is the largest domestic energy supplier in the UK. The BBC's industry correspondent, John Moylan, says Centrica's investment would be a major boost for the UK's fledgling shale gas industry. Fracking controversy Fracking has revolutionised the energy industry in the US in recent years, driving down gas prices and boosting oil production. Drilling companies suggest they may be sitting on vast resources of shale gas in the UK. Earlier this week another drilling firm, IGas, said its licensed areas of Cheshire could hold up to 170 trillion cubic feet of gas. Some industry figures suggest that may be enough to end the need for expensive gas imports. The UK's annual gas consumption is currently about 3 trillion cubic feet. However analysts suggest that only a small fraction of the total shale gas resources in the UK may be recoverable. In a report published earlier this year, the Energy and Climate Change Committee also cast doubt on the value of shale gas extraction. Although it said shale gas in the UK could help secure domestic energy supplies, it also warned that it may not bring down prices. The gas is extracted from the shale rock through a controversial process known as \"fracking\" - forcing water, chemicals and sand underground to release the trapped gas. But it has been blamed for causing earth tremors and there are environmental concerns about water contamination and the large volumes of water required.",

Campaigners are challenging Serco's plans to evict 330 asylum seekers from their homes in Glasgow. The issue has prompted days of demonstrations at a Home Office building by protesters in Glasgow. 'Negative decisions' In a statement issued after the latest protests, Serco said it would \"pause all further lock-change notices to other asylum seekers who have received negative decisions whilst the law is being tested and clarified\". It added: \"This will also give stakeholders who support asylum seekers more time to prepare for what is likely to be an increase in the number of people seeking their help.\" The Home Office maintains that those who have no right to remain in the country should leave the UK, and accommodation will only continue to be provided temporarily if there is a practical or legal obstacle to that. The charity Shelter Scotland is to represent two of the asylum seekers at the city's sheriff court next week. 'Immigration lawyers' Director Graeme Brown said: \"Our legal team will be presenting papers to Glasgow Sheriff Court on Monday morning along with the legal services agency who act for a third individual to try and get interim orders that will prevent the lock changes threatened to our clients. \"Our clients are actively working with immigration lawyers to resolve their asylum claims. Interim orders temporarily stopping the lock changes will allow this work to continue with our clients having a home to live in.\" Serco chief executive Rupert Soames had said lock-change notices would be given to no more than 10 people a week for the next four weeks. He said none of these would be families with children and all would be people whom the Home Office considered to have exhausted the appeal process. More than 100 campaigners, backed by charity Positive Action in Housing, the Church of Scotland and Glasgow Campaign to Welcome Refugees, have taken part in a third day of protests outside the Brand Street Home Office building in Glasgow. During the demonstration protesters burned letters sent by Serco warning them that they would be evicted. Campaigners against the planned evictions have said housing associations in the city could be crucial to their efforts. 'Our permission' The charity Positive Action on Housing said it has been encouraged by the housing associations' response to the issue. They said local associations had pledged practical help for the asylum seekers. Campaigners hope the housing associations, which own some of the accommodation, can prevent tenants being made homeless. Parkhead Housing Association said it has already explained its position to Serco. Chief executive Jim Strang said: \"We wrote to Serco to advise them that in terms of the lease we have with them, they can't change locks without our permission. \"We won't give that permission under the circumstances at the current time. \"We've also indicated to Serco and to the city council that we will - if their tenant in our property is evicted - we will rehouse them.\" Robina Qureshi, the director of Positive Action in Housing, described the evictions as \"immoral, irresponsible and frankly dangerous\".

The authors called for the adoption of \"climate-smart agriculture\" that will help make crops more resilient to future extreme weather events. The findings were presented at a major conference in Ethiopia. \"In order for our farmers to be productive and ensure food security, we need to build resilience to help them mitigate the onset of climate change,\" observed report editor David Sarfo Ameyaw. \"The climate variations, droughts or rainfalls, are something that small-holding farmers are facing and are going to face. \"Climate change is a fact that is facing us whether we accept it or not, especially here in Africa.\" Dr Ameyaw, director of strategy monitoring and evaluation for the Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa (AGRA), said that \"failed season\" posed a real threat for food security in Africa. \"We are talking about when the rain does not come at the right time or the length of the [growing] season, which should be about 180 days, is shortened as a result of drought,\" he told BBC News. The report warned that changes to the climate could result in the number of malnourished people in sub-Saharan Africa increasing by 40% by 2050 - from 223 million people to 355 million people. 'Climate-smart' farming Dr Ameyaw added that helping small-scale farmers adopt \"climate-smart\" farming techniques would \"prepare the for even more serious challenges in the future\". \"An important factor of good land management is the effective and efficiency use of water - groundwater, surface water and rainwater,\" he said. \"When we talk about small-holding farming in Africa, we are talking about a system in which 98% depend on rainfall. \"Therefore, in order to build a climate-smart system, we need to find a way to preserve the water via rain harvesting etc. \"What we need to help farmers do is to be able to adopt good land management practices and improve seed stocks, with drought-resistant varieties.\" A recent scientific workshop in Morocco heard how researchers were developing mathematical models to identify genetic material that could help improve food crops' resilience to the impacts of climate change, such as drought, pests and diseases. The scientists hoped the models would speed up the process of identifying traits, such as drought resistance, allowing breeders to grow climate-proof crops. Dr Ameyaw warned: \"Whether we like it or not, climate change is a phenomenon the continent is facing. So we have proposed five things that we would like policymakers to address. The five areas where the AGRA report authors wanted action were: 1.Climate smart agriculture 2.Strengthen national and local institutions 3.Build the technical and knowledge infrastructure for sustainable farming 4.Improve financial investment in agriculture 5.Improve access for \"innovative\" private investors, such as microfinance The findings were presented to the African Green Revolution Forum, being held in Addis Ababa, which is focusing on delivering agriculture-led economic growth in sub-Saharan Africa.

They had been bought in the 1950s and passed down but were not thought to be worth much, so had been destined to decorate a student flat. Qi Baishi was an influential painter credited for modernising a style of classical Chinese painting. Alexander Clement, consultant valuer at Hansons Auctioneers, recognised the artwork on the staircase of the home in Barlaston and later found they were originals, each bearing a seal by the artist. He said: \"They were handed down through the family but were not thought to be more than decorative.\" Hansons said the work of Qi Baishi, who was born in 1864 and died in 1957, is highly regarded and sought after by collectors in mainland China as well as the West. Mr Clement said: \"These works are comparatively small but nevertheless beautiful and the trio has a total guide price of £15,000-20,000.\" The paintings will be offered individually at Hansons Fine Art Auction on 24 September.

The scheme is named after Clare Wood, who was murdered by her ex-boyfriend George Appleton at her Salford home in February 2009. She was unaware of his history of violence against women. The law is expected to take effect across England and Wales in March. Clare Wood's father, Michael Brown, has welcomed plans to roll out the scheme, officially known as the Domestic Violence Disclosure Scheme, saying the scheme \"could, quite possibly, have saved her life\". 'Escape if necessary' During the pilot of Clare's Law there were 111 disclosures in the four police areas involved. Home Secretary Theresa May, has issued a written statement to the House of Commons. She says that there \"are still too many cases where vulnerable people are let down\". \"Clare's Law provides people with the information they need to escape an abusive situation before it ends in tragedy,\" she said. \"The national scheme will ensure that more people can make informed decisions about their relationship and escape if necessary. \"This is an important step towards ensuring we do better by women like Clare Wood in the future.\" Ms May said 88 women were killed by their partners last year. 'Right-to-Ask' The disclosure of people's history of domestic violence can be triggered in two ways: A panel of police, probation services and other agencies will check every request to ensure it is necessary before trained police officers and advisers would then provide support to victims. Extremely dangerous Refuge, a charity which helps victims of domestic violence, is opposed to the rollout of Clare's Law. They are calling for the government to open a public inquiry into the response of police to domestic violence. The charity's chief executive, Sandra Horley, says: \"Clare's Law may help a few individuals - but domestic violence is a huge social issue with a massive death toll. We need to help the majority of victims - not the few. Let's get our priorities right.\" She also says that leaving a violent partner can be extremely dangerous: \"women are at greatest risk of homicide at the point of separation or after leaving a violent partner\". But chief executive of the charity Victim Support Javed Khan welcomed the plans. \"Early identification to stop domestic violence is crucial,\" he said. He also said that it is important to give people the \"support they need both before and after a disclosure has been made, so they can make an informed choice about what to do next\". New Domestic Violence Protection Orders are also being rolled out across England and Wales from next March. These can be issued by a police officer at superintendent rank where they have reasonable grounds to believe a victim is at risk of future violent behaviour. The case for the protection order would have to be heard in a magistrates' court within 48 hours. A Scottish government spokesperson said domestic abuse was taken very seriously and that: \"We will follow the rollout of this pilot across England and Wales with interest, in particular the evaluation, and consider the role that this initiative can play in Scotland.\" Police Scotland said tackling domestic abuse was a high priority and that their officers \"regularly liaise with colleagues across forces in England and Wales and exchange information readily and as requested\". In Northern Ireland, the Department for Justice said there were no plans to introduce their own version of Clare's Law. \"Such proposals would require local consultation and development.\"",

The 22-year-old is accused of expressing a desire to carry out a \"spree killing mass murder.\" It is alleged he expressed an affinity with a mass murderer who was motivated by Incels - \"involuntary celebates\". On the opening day of the trial, the High Court in Edinburgh was told that Gabrielle Friel was seen by a social worker and a psychiatrist after stabbing a police officer at Edinburgh College's Granton campus in 2017. A former classmate told the court that on the day of the stabbing Mr Friel told him he planned to carry out a knife attack in the cafeteria because he was being bullied online. The High Court heard agreed evidence that two years later, in the summer of 2019, Mr Friel ordered weapons, including a crossbow and machete, to be delivered to his home in the city. His psychiatrist Dr Alexander Quinn told the court he met him at an outpatient clinic at around this time after his social worker emailed him with concerns. He said his client appeared \"desperate, suicidal and was angry with the world\". Dr Quinn said he was \"really worried\" after Mr Friel showed him images of body armour and a crossbow he had bought online, and called the police who detained him. Earlier the court had heard that Mr Friel's social worker Sarah Drummond had emailed the psychiatrist to report that he was \"very fixated on (almost idolising) Elliot Rodgers (Californian spree killer in a university) and he feels just like him\". However, under cross examination, Ms Drummond said he had also told her he did not intend to harm anyone. Mr Friel has denied all the charges against him, and the trial continues.",

Explaining its decision, Venezuela said Brazil had acted illegally in impeaching its former left-wing president, Dilma Rousseff. On Saturday, Venezuela also expelled Canada's charge d'affaires, accusing him of interfering in internal affairs. Canada's foreign ministry retaliated on Monday, announcing that ambassador Wilmer Barrientos Fernández, who was already abroad, would not be allowed to return. Venezuela's charge d'affaires, Ángel Herrera, was also asked to leave. 'Right-wing coup' Relations with Brazil have deteriorated since President Michel Temer took office last year, following Ms Rousseff's dismissal by Congress for fiscal irregularities. President Nicolás Maduro described her impeachment as \"a right-wing coup\". The head of Venezuela's powerful Constituent Assembly, Delcy Rodriguez, said on Saturday that \"diplomatic relations with Brazil will not be restored until the government reinstates the constitutional order it has effectively broken\". The Brazilian government said the move showed \"once again the authoritarian nature of President Maduro's administration\". Brazil and Canada have both become outspoken critics of Mr Maduro. They accuse his socialist government of harassing the opposition and violating human rights. Canada imposed sanctions on senior Venezuelan officials a few months ago. Canada and Brazil were among many countries critical of Mr Maduro's decision to convene a Constituent Assembly, which effectively replaced the opposition-controlled National Assembly. The announcement prompted mass street protests, which killed more than 120 people in four months. The opposition boycotted the poll in July and also held an unofficial referendum in which they said more than seven million Venezuelans had voted against the constituent assembly. Mr Maduro's six-year term ends in 2019. He is due to run for re-election next year. Venezuela has one of the world's highest inflation rates and for years has suffered from a shortage of basic goods, including medicines.

            "input": "The economy of the 17 nations in the euro shrank by 0.6% in the fourth quarter, which was worse than forecast. It is the sharpest contraction since the beginning of 2009 and marks the first time the region failed to grow in any quarter during a calendar year. It followed news that the economies of Germany, France and Italy had all shrunk by more than expected. A recession is usually defined as two consecutive quarters of contraction. In the first three months of 2012 the eurozone economy failed to grow, but then in the second quarter of the year it contracted by 0.2% and it shrank by 0.1% in the third quarter. The GDP numbers sent the euro lower. It fell to a three-week low against the US dollar of $1.3320. Carsten Brzeski from ING said: \"These are horrible numbers, it's a widespread contraction, which does not match this positive picture of stabilisation and positive contagion.\" But he added: \"We still expect growth to return in the course of 2013 but any return of growth will be very small which means that the social impact of this recession, especially in the peripheral countries will be still a very severe one.\" Germany, the eurozone's biggest economy, saw the deepest contraction since the height of the financial crisis as its economy shrank 0.6%. It was hit by a sharp decline in exports. The German statistics office said: \"Comparatively weak foreign trade was the decisive factor for the decline in the economic performance at the end of the year: in the final quarter of 2012 exports of goods declined significantly more than imports of goods.\" The French economy shrank by 0.3% in the fourth quarter, while Italy showed 0.9% contraction for the period. 'Outlook promising' There are diverging views on the prospects for the different countries in the region. Economists remain upbeat about the outlook for Germany. \"This is a temporary period of weakness in the German economy rather than the beginning of a long period of stagnation or even a recession \" said Andreas Rees, chief German economist at the bank Unicredit. He added: \"The outlook is very promising. The chances that the economy will return to growth at the beginning of this year are very good.\" That sentiment has been backed up by recent surveys. January's closely watched business confidence survey for Germany hit its highest level since before the eurozone crisis. Eurozone purchasing managers' index (PMI) surveys for January also indicated the worst may be over. Germany, Spain and Italy all showed signs of stabilisation - although in France the downturn deepened. That is part of the reason why many analysts have predicted that France is heading for a recession. However, France's central bank recently forecast that the economy would just manage to grow in the first three months of 2013. Growth rethink The latest GDP number means that the French economy barely grew at all 2012. Eurozone sees recession deepen French Finance Minister Pierre Moscovici admitted on French radio that the government may need to rethink its growth forecast of 0.8% for 2013. \"We note that the figure for 2012 is not good, around zero, and so we also know that growth for 2013 will have to be re-thought.\" He added that he did not want to \"condemn the country to recession\" by adding \"austerity to the difficulties of today\". French President Francois Hollande is trying to make France more competitive by slashing government spending and relaxing labour regulations. Italy has been in recession since mid-2011. Prime Minister Mario Monti has introduced severe austerity measures to cut its debt and reassure markets that it is a safe country to lend to. An election is due on 24 February. Euro strength The recent strength of the euro has been a source of concern for France in particular. France has called for a target to be set to stop the single currency from becoming so strong that it damages the recovery. A high valuation makes exports more expensive. This has led to renewed talk of \"currency wars\" - where countries compete to devalue their currencies to help boost exports. Policymakers have warned against raising those tensions. \"We have to be cautious in my view not to build up the rhetoric about currency wars, because if we build up the rhetoric, the danger is there that something worse can happen\" said the European Central Bank's Vice President Vitor Constancio at an event in Brussels.",

He is now remembered as a diplomat and peacemaker during a turbulent time in the country's history. The apology comes after a long campaign to formally clear his name. On Thursday, at a ceremony on the Poundmaker Cree Nation, about 200km (125 miles) northwest of Saskatoon, Mr Trudeau said Canada recognises \"that during his lifetime, Chief Poundmaker was not treated justly nor showed the respect he deserved as a leader of his people\". The prime minister called Poundmaker - or Pitikwahanapiwiyin in Cree - \"a peacemaker who never stopped fighting for peace, a leader who, time and time again, sought to prevent further loss of life in the growing conflict in the prairies\". Former Poundmaker Cree Nation chief Blaine Favel called the apology a step towards reconciliation and said it \"makes the history of Canada that much more rich\". Poundmaker was a leader during a period of growing insecurity and rapid change among the Metis, First Nations peoples, and settlers living in Canada's prairies. First Nations peoples were becoming increasingly disillusioned at the government's failure to live up to recent treaty commitments, including promises of rations. Meanwhile, a Metis-led rebellion in the region over land concerns had led to outbreaks of violence. At the time, in March 1885, Chief Poundmaker travelled with a delegation from his reserve to nearby Fort Battleford and its neighbouring village to ask for overdue government rations. Due to the unrest, the inhabitants had holed up in the barracks and government officials refused to leave the safety of the fort to meet with Poundmaker. Frustrated, his men are alleged to have ransacked the village despite the chief's protests. \"Chief Poundmaker and his people came to be viewed as a threat,\" Mr Trudeau said. In retaliation, over 300 Canadian militiamen - led by Lt Col William Otter - set off to attack Poundmaker's camp. The Battle of Cut Knife Hill lasted some seven hours. Facing stiff resistance, Lt Col Otter eventually called for a retreat. Poundmaker is credited with preventing the warriors from pursuing retreating militiamen, saving countless lives and preventing further bloodshed. After the battle, and following a failed attempt to negotiate a peace agreement in an effort to prevent further reprisals, he was arrested and put on trial for treason. He was convicted, and sentenced to three years in jail. He maintained his innocence. Poundmaker was released after serving a year in jail due to deteriorating health and died four months after. His prosecution was part of an effort by the Canadian government to suppress further armed conflicts and exert more control over the indigenous peoples in the region, and secure its push to settle the west.",

            "input": "Voting is expected to go ahead as normal on a single day, despite ongoing Covid-19 restrictions. However counting of ballots is expected to be conducted across Friday and Saturday, delaying the results. Government minister Graeme Dey told MSPs that he was confident the election could be held safely as planned. However he clashed with opposition members over whether First Minister Nicola Sturgeon would continue to front televised Covid-19 briefings during the campaign period. MSPs have passed legislation allowing for a range of contingency plans should Covid-19 disrupt the election, including the option to delay polling day for six months. However Mr Dey said he and the Electoral Management Board were \"confident\" that the vote could go ahead on 6 May. The parliamentary business minister pointed out that dozens of countries have successfully held elections during the pandemic, while eight council by-elections were held in Scotland in 2020 - with 11 more to follow in the coming weeks. Work will be done to make polling stations Covid-secure, with one-way systems and enhanced cleaning arrangements in place and extra staff on hand to encourage the wearing of face masks. An advertising campaign has been run to encourage more postal voting, with a \"significant rise\" in applications already recorded ahead of the 6 April deadline. Meanwhile anyone who tests positive for Covid-19 or who is in self-isolation will be able to apply for a proxy vote up until 17:00 on polling day. While voting will take place over a single day as usual, Mr Dey told MSPs that \"results will take longer to arrive\". He said not all constituencies would be counted at the same time, with \"most\" counting taking place across Friday and Saturday. Because of the way Holyrood's electoral system works, with regional list seats assigned on the basis of constituency results, it could be days before the outcome of the election becomes clear. Measures are also being put in place to allow more traditional campaigning to take place, with candidates and their agents allowed to travel to constituencies. Party leaders may also be allowed to travel to any given constituency, although Mr Dey said people should not travel between local areas for work that can be done from home. Activists will be allowed to resume leafleting from 15 March if the \"stay at home\" order has been lifted by then, while face-to-face doorstep campaigning can start from 5 April if the infection rate has fallen low enough. That will be based on whether the average infection rate across Scotland is at 50 per 100,000 or less and the test positivity rate is below 5% - both metrics the number the World Health Organisation has set for showing the pandemic is under control. However MSPs were warned that if the infection rate exceeds 100 per 100,000 in any local authority area, canvassing would be suspended there until it fell again. And other traditional campaigning activities like street stalls, hustings and giving voters a lift to the polling station will not be permitted. 'Obsession' with briefings Opposition parties broadly welcomed the plans, but questioned when guidance would be published. And both the Conservatives and Lib Dems asked whether it was appropriate for Ms Sturgeon to continue to front regular Covid-19 briefings during the election period. Tory MSP Miles Briggs said it may be more appropriate for health officials to lead the briefings, while Lib Dem leader Willie Rennie said Ms Sturgeon would inevitably be asked political questions. Mr Dey accused opposition members of having an \"obsession about the public briefings\", saying the first minister \"provides assurance to the public\" by hosting the televised events. He added: \"These are public health briefings that have proved essential throughout the past year - for Willie Rennie to imply that somehow the first minister would take advantage of that is frankly beneath him.\" Would you like to hold politicians and prominent figures to account?

It's the latest effort by the firm to appeal to a wider audience. Twitter CEO and co-founder Jack Dorsey has said he isn't definitely set on sticking with 140 characters. He illustrated his point by posting a screenshot of a text which had 1,325 characters. If Twitter allowed tweets of up to 10,000 characters, it could produce 1,700-word messages, based on the size of Dorsey's extended post. In his message, Jack Dorsey wrote that Twitter had already noticed that many of its 300 million users already have been including screenshots of longer texts in their tweets. He suggested that Twitter was looking at ways to give people more room to express themselves without polluting the service. Mr Dorsey said that imposing some limits \"inspires creativity and brevity and a sense of speed\". He said it would \"never lose that feeling\". At the same time, he said Twitter wasn't \"going to be shy about building more utility and power into Twitter for people\". He said as long as it was consistent with what people wanted to do, they would explore it. Officially Twitter, which is based in San Francisco, has refused to comment on its plans. Matti Littunen from media research company Enders Analysis told the BBC that Twitter is making the move because of \"changing user behaviour\". He says the popularity of screenshots of long text messages on the site is proof that people are not using the service as they once did. \"The move is a further sign of the company looking to adapt its core product and extend appeal beyond its following of 320m monthly active users,\" he added. By increasing the amount of characters available Littunen thinks the company is targeting more income from advertisers, who could use the extra space to try and sell products. Twitter hasn't made a profit since launching in 2006. In comparison Facebook has 1.5 billion users and made £579m between July and September last year. But Matti also thinks there's a risk the changes could alienate some current Twitter users who enjoy the punchy direct style of the content on there. Jack Dorsey, who returned to the company last July, helped create Twitter in 2006. He imposed a 140-character limit on messages so the service would be easy to use on mobile phones that could only deal with 160 character texts at that time. Those limits disappeared after smartphones took off and allowed people to use other internet messaging services, making Twitter's restrictions look increasingly out of date.

In a letter to Mexico's ambassador in London, the BBC said it was sorry if it had offended some people, but said jokes based on national stereotyping were part of British national humour. The ambassador had demanded an apology, calling the remarks \"offensive, xenophobic and humiliating\". Hundreds of Mexicans contacted the BBC Spanish-language website BBC Mundo to protest about the remarks made by presenters Richard Hammond, Jeremy Clarkson and James May. 'Racist' Many more expressed outrage in e-mails to Mexican newspapers and websites, where the Top Gear jibes have received huge coverage. The matter was also raised in the Mexican senate, where lawmakers were considering a motion of censure. On Thursday an all-party group of British MPs also urged the BBC to apologise, calling the remarks \"ignorant, derogatory and racist\". In a statement, the BBC said the comments may have been \"rude\" and \"mischievous,\" but there was no \"vindictiveness\" behind them. \"Our own comedians make jokes about the British being terrible cooks and terrible romantics, and we in turn make jokes about the Italians being disorganised and over dramatic, the French being arrogant and the Germans being over-organised,\" the BBC said. It added that stereotype-based comedy was allowed within BBC guidelines in programmes where the audience knew they could expect it, as was the case with Top Gear. \"Whilst it may appear offensive to those who have not watched the programme or who are unfamiliar with its humour, the executive producer has made it clear to the ambassador that that was absolutely not the show's intention,\" the BBC added. 'Refried sick' The executive producer of Top Gear also apologised to ambassador Eduardo Medina Mora personally for remarks made about him. Jeremy Clarkson had said he was confident he would not receive any complaints about their comments because the Mexican ambassador would be asleep. The Top Gear team's comments about Mexicans were made when they were discussing a Mexican sports car. Richard Hammond said vehicles reflected national characteristics so \"Mexican cars are just going to be lazy\". Reviewing the Mastretta on Sunday's show, Hammond said: \"Mexican cars are just going to be lazy, feckless, flatulent, overweight, leaning against a fence asleep looking at a cactus with a blanket with a hole in the middle on as a coat.\" The presenters, known for their edgy jibes, then described Mexican food as \"refried sick\". It is not the first time the driving programme has caused controversy. Hundreds of viewers complained in 2008 after Clarkson made a joke about lorry drivers murdering prostitutes. Last week, the programme was named most popular factual show at the British National TV Awards.",

            "input": "On a sweltering lunchtime I sat on a small stool drinking coffee and observing life in the Bole-Mikael neighbourhood of Addis Ababa, the heart of the Somali community in the Ethiopian capital. I had last been here as a young boy in December 1994, where I had lived after fleeing the civil war in Somalia. My family were forced to leave Hargeisa city in 1988, first escaping on foot to a refugee camp in Ethiopia near the border town of Harta Sheik, where I spent the defining years of my childhood and later ended up in Bole-Mikael. We were not alone. In the 1990s this neighbourhood became home to a large number of Somali refugees, who had gathered in this dream-filled corner of Addis Ababa hoping to resettle in European countries they knew little about. Somalis bound for countries like Norway, Sweden, the UK and the Netherlands had come to Addis Ababa waiting for those embassies to make decisions. As I sipped my coffee and looked around 25 years later, I reflected how radically the area and community had changed - prosperity was in the air. It was June and people were dressed elegantly in their finest Eid attire for the Muslim festival: women wore bright, beautiful \"dirac\" robes adorned with gold jewellery while the men wore colourful \"khamis\" tunics and suits. The sounds and smells of Eid pervaded the air - spiced goat curries, rice with fried onions and raisins, fudge-like \"halwa\" sweets and an abundance of sugary soda drinks. Around me a modern city was taking shape, transformed by new buildings that dominated the skyline some as high as 30 to 40 storeys, covered in bright blue plastic sheets and wooden scaffolding. There were malls everywhere, mobile phone shops, and fast-food restaurants where young couples sat together eating burgers and drinking milkshakes. But as I wondered through Bole-Mikael's semi-paved side streets, I glimpsed parts of the city I remembered as a child: puddles of dirty water, the incessant barking of dogs, aromas of coffee and berbere spice, young children tugging at my shirt asking for coins. I have such fond memories of Addis as a child. I remember visiting the Addis Zoo to see the lions and being mesmerised by a portrait of Haile Selassie, the country's former emperor. 'The country with four names' It all made me think about the past - of how much my family had lost in the war, but how lucky we were to escape and eventually start a new life in the UK. Looking back now I am not sure if we knew much about where we were going or what we would lose in the journey west. You may also be interested in The only thing I knew about the UK was what an elderly Somali woman in Bole-Mikael told me. She would sit at a street corner for hours a day talking to us children while we drank sodas. She would ask us where our families were going to. I told her: \"London.\" She said: \"Ah do you know that country has four names? UK, England, London, Europe.\" I was intrigued. She also told me that once I got there I would not need to use my legs to walk. She said there they had machines that did the walking for you - she was, of course, referring to escalators, which back then were in short supply in Ethiopia. I had never seen one. When I arrived a few days after Christmas in 1994 at Heathrow Airport I was delighted to see escalators but soon disappointed when I realised that I would have to use my legs on the streets of London after all. I often wonder if those of us who left Addis in the 1990s knew what we would be giving up - the warmth, safety of language and our land. But no-one chooses to give up the comforts of home; conflict forced us to make new homes far away. 'Learning to queue' Yet in countries like the UK we became invisible shadows, cut-off in deprived inner-city neighbourhoods. In London the dangers of Somalia were replaced by a new reality: council estate gangs and social alienation. Coming to the UK was a huge shock. I felt confused and was unable to make sense of my new home. I was only 10 and unable to speak English, so I felt like an outsider. I had a lot to learn and quickly: how to deal with the winters, how to queue, going to school and becoming a citizen in a new culture. I struggled to fit into British society. Like many of my peers, I came to escape guns, violence and refugee camps and found myself in a rough inner-city neighbourhood, confused and alienated. This experience was often challenging, but as I got older I slowly began to see a world far beyond the small pocket of London I was living in. I have now lived in London for 25 years and I feel very much at home in this wonderful, diverse and liberal city. Nevertheless, the walk through Bole-Mikael made me realise how the shadow of Somalia's civil war had remained with me despite having left the conflict behind. But I understood that as the neighbourhood had changed, so had I. And I left this time as a man at peace with what I have gone through and become, rather than a fearful child unaware of what life had in store for me.

The charity has calculated that the average amount of green space per person is less than half of a six-yard-box on a football pitch. A growing body of research links parks and green spaces to wellbeing. \"We actually found that 2.6 million people did not live within a 10-minute walk of a green space,\" explained Field in Trust policy and insight manager Alison McCann. \"In Great Britain, there is no statutory protection for green spaces,\" she told BBC News. \"At the moment, we protect about 6% of our parks and green spaces, so we are calling for the Green Space Index to be used as an early warning system as we should be doing more to protect what we have got because of the multiple benefits they bring.\" 'Huge rewards' Studies have shown that parks and urban green spaces deliver health and wellbeing benefits. Researchers have calculated that outdoor exercise delivered an estimated £2.2bn of health benefits to adults in England each year. The scientists calculated that more than eight million people each week took at least 30 minutes of \"green exercise\". In another study, carried out by a team from the European Centre for Environment and Human Health at the University of Exeter reported that living in an urban area with green spaces has a long-lasting positive impact on people's mental well-being. Ms McCann explained that research carried out by Fields in Trust found that parks delivered an estimated £34.2bn of health and wellbeing benefits each year. \"If you use parks regularly, you are reaping some huge rewards,\" she said. \"But the Index is showing that us that not everyone has that close access, to parks, so they are potentially missing out on those benefits.\" Fields in Trust is launching a campaign on Monday to find the UK's Best Park.

Edinburgh continued to dominate the marketplace, with 11 of the top 20 attractions located in the city. The Association of Scottish Visitor Attractions (ASVA) looked at 232 sites with 77% reporting increased visits. It is the fourth year running that an increase has been recorded with the latest figures on top of a 6% rise for attractions in 2016, which itself followed a 3.4% rise in 2015. Sectors which fared particularly well in 2017 include castles and heritage sites (+14.7%), gardens (+13.6%), distilleries/whisky-related attractions (+11.8%) and museums and galleries (+7.5%). Attractions in the vicinity of Loch Ness, including the medieval fortress of Urquhart Castle and the Loch Ness by Jacobite scenic cruises, continued to demonstrate above average growth. Both attractions received a boost of 30,000 visitors per year, thanks to a partnership with a tour operator specialising in the Chinese market. The \"Outlander\" effect continued to benefit many sites featuring in the cult TV series, as well as others with Jacobite connections. Large increases in visitor numbers were recorded at attractions including Culloden Battlefield Visitor Centre (+ 28%), Glasgow Cathedral (+31%), Castle Fraser (+49%) and Glenfinnan Monument (+58%). Malcolm Roughead, VisitScotland chief executive, said:\"Scotland's visitor attractions are a valuable part of our country's outstanding tourism offering, showcasing our rich history and sharing Scotland's story with visitors from far and wide. \"The continued impact of the Outlander effect and the growing popularity of whisky tourism are also positioning Scotland as an unmissable destination for film and food and drink experiences.\" The National Museum of Scotland welcomed the most visitors while Edinburgh Castle retained its status as the most popular paid attraction. Dr Gordon Rintoul, Director of National Museums Scotland said: \"It is terrific news that the latest ASVA visitor figures have confirmed that the National Museum of Scotland is again the most popular visitor attraction in Scotland. \"In 2017 we welcomed almost 2.2 million visitors - the first time we have attracted over 2 million in a calendar year.\" Overall, some 59% of all visits were made to attractions that featured in the top 20 list. Another area of Scotland which fared well in 2017 was the Highlands where Inverewe Garden in Wester Ross enjoyed a major uplift in visitor numbers (+110%), driven in part by the popularity of the North Coast 500 touring route. Douglas Walker, chairman of ASVA said: \"These figures demonstrate that the visitor attractions sector in Scotland is in robust health.\" According to Visit Scotland, spending by tourists generates around £12bn of economic activity in the wider Scottish supply chain and contributes around £6bn to Scottish GDP. Cabinet Secretary for Culture, Tourism and External Affairs Fiona Hyslop said: \"Tourism is of vital importance to communities throughout Scotland, stimulating economic growth and promoting the importance of our cultural heritage to a wider audience. \"These latest figures demonstrate that our visitor attractions are continuing to create quality experiences, helping build our reputation as a premier tourism destination for people from around the world.\" Top 20 Visitor Attractions National Museum of Scotland - 2,165,601 (+19.6%) Edinburgh Castle - 2,063,709 (+16.0%) Scottish National Gallery - 1,600,761 (+3.7%) Riverside Museum - 1,355,359 (+7.7%) Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum - 1,304,072 (+3.6%) St Giles' Cathedral - 1,285,654 (+9.7%) Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh - 904,956 (+5.6%) Famous Blacksmith's shop - Gretna Green - 812,177 (+2.2%) National War Museum - 764,079 (+12.5%) Edinburgh Bus Tours - 690,082 (+14.1%) Gallery of Modern Art - 670,485 (+3.7%) Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art - 605,766 (+20.2%) Stirling Castle - 567,259 (+17.7%) The Falkirk Wheel - 521,710 (-3.1%) Edinburgh Zoo - 556,356 (-3.8%) Urquhart Castle - 488,136 (23.1%) Glenfinnan Monument - 396,448 (57.8%) The Royal Yacht Britannia - 390,482 (12.1%) Glasgow Cathedral - 389,101 (31.4%) The Scotch Whisky Experience - 378,954 (16.2%)",

As the UK basks in the heatwave, the ground temperature is also increasing and Translink recorded a high of approximately 50C on Wednesday. As a precaution they reduced the speed of trains on the network resulting in widespread delays. On Thursday evening, Translink's head of rail operations, Richard Knox, said average delays were \"probably somewhere in the region of five to 10 minutes on Portadown, Bangor, Larne line and maybe about 10 to 15 minutes on the Londonderry corridor\". He added: \"Hopefully people can be patient - give us an extra five minutes and we'll get you all home. \"It is exceptional weather in Northern Ireland and I know we shouldn't complain about it, but it does make my job, I suppose, a little bit more taxing.\" The company's infrastructure executive Clive Bradberry said delays caused by hot weather were unprecedented in his time working in Northern Ireland. \"I've been with Northern Ireland Railways for 15 years now, it's the first time we've had to put these type of restrictions on for hot weather. So it's definitely very exceptional,\" he said. \"Maybe a little bit more in the south east of England, Network Rail would suffer these kind of things maybe on a more annual basis, but for us, it's unknown in my time here.\" The railway network in Northern Ireland is one long string of track rather than the old familiar jointed rails where you would hear the \"clickity-clack\" Mr Bradberry said. When the temperatures rise the railway line wants to expand. \"It is like pushing on each end of a straw. Eventually the straw wants to move sideways and we don't want that to happen in our track,\" Mr Bradberry added. When the rail temperature rises in Northern Ireland's normal climate, the weight of the sleeper and the stone compacted around the rail prevents it from buckling. The reduced speeds are intended to lower the force exerted on the track reducing the risk of buckling.",

He wants teenagers to look beyond the social media \"echo chamber\", where they might hear only views like their own. Students need more places to \"exchange ideas\", says Mr Schleicher. The OECD aims to develop global policies focused on improving economic and social well-being. Its education chief says schools need to equip young people with the skills needed to navigate the digital world, with unreliable claims on social media and falsified news. 'Critical judgement' \"In the past, when you needed information, you went to an encyclopaedia... and you could trust that the information would be true,\" says Mr Schleicher, But now he says young people go to Facebook or news websites and need to be able to evaluate what is reliable. \"Distinguishing what is true from what is not true is a critical judgement,\" says Mr Schleicher, who will be addressing the Global Education and Skills Forum in Dubai. \"Exposing fake news, being aware that there is something like fake news, that there is something that is not necessarily true, that you have to question, think critically - that's a very important task.\" Mr Schleicher, who runs the international Pisa rankings, is going to introduce written tests in 2018 on global competency, which will assess how well young people are ready for a diverse and \"interconnected world\". The tests currently assess teenagers' abilities in maths, science and reading - but the OECD is going to add this new measure of global competency. \"This assessment is about the capacity of young people to see the world through different perspectives, appreciate different ideas, be open to different cultures,\" he says. \"It is increasingly important for young people to engage with diversity, to be open to that, to draw value out of it, to see diversity not as a problem.\" Mr Schleicher links this with young people from Europe going to the Middle East to fight for so-called Islamic State. 'Mono-cultures' He says they want to turn \"multi-religious, multi-ethnic\" countries into \"mono-cultures\", which he says is \"an outcome of the thinking that there is only one truth and there's only one way to live\". And he warns that social media can encourage people to \"communicate and collaborate increasingly just with people who are similar\". \"People are not prepared to see diversity as something positive, you see that level of disengagement,\" he says. \"I think that social media can reinforce that. \"The algorithms tend to relate people to people who are similar, rather than creating spaces for people to discuss debate and find common ground.\" Against a backdrop of growing tensions around migration and national identity, Mr Schleicher says: \"Europe has always been at its best when people were moving around, contrasting different ideas, different concepts. \"The Renaissance was a great example. There were different populations getting together. Open societies, diverse societies, were able to attract the best talent.\" He forecast that the UK as an \"open society\" would do well on such \"global competencies\" - and highlighted that schools in the UK were much more successful at integrating migrants compared with France.",

Among the posts was one that read: \"Jared, you are the most disgustingly morally bankrupt person I have ever had the displeasure of working with.\" The BBC has asked Mr O'Mara to comment. The Twitter thread continued: \"Sheffield Hallam deserves so much better than you. You have wasted opportunities which people dare not to even dream of.\" The thread told the MP to \"call a by-election\" and informed Mr O'Mara he should consider the Twitter posts as Mr Arnold's \"resignation\". Mr O'Mara, 37, quit the Labour party in July 2018 after being suspended over alleged misogynistic and homophobic comments posted online. His victory against former deputy prime minister Nick Clegg in the Sheffield Hallam seat was one of the shocks of the 2017 general election. Mr Arnold, who describes himself as a blogger and a digital marketing professional, rose to prominence in 2014 when he set up a social media account called Britain Furst which was intended to troll the right-wing political group Britain First. The following year he set up a satirical news website and posted fake news articles mocking tabloid titles. 'Horrible thing to do' He told BBC 5 Live that he had been working for Mr O'Mara for eight weeks but had known him \"for absolutely years\". When asked about the method of his resignation, he said: \"I appreciate from the outside it looks like a really horrible thing to do.\" But he added: \"We're left with a situation where there's people in Sheffield Hallam who are not being represented. \"There are people who are waiting on their immigration status, there are people who are not getting houses, there are people having their benefits stopped and all these things stopped just because he's not prepared to do his job properly. \"Yes it was a ridiculous statement but it's the one thing I think might motivate change.\" Following his resignation, Mr Arnold took to his own account and tweeted: \"Well, I can't sleep. \"Did I do the right thing? Did I go the right way about it? Did I act in anger and frustration? \"I expect I'll come to learn these things soon.\" Mr O'Mara, who now sits as an independent, told the BBC earlier this month that he intended to stand for election again despite criticism of his voting record. \"I am going nowhere, and I'm here for you whether you want me here for you or not.\" he said at the time. \"With the support of those around me and with renewed vigour, I'm standing again next time.\" In April Mr O'Mara closed his office while he recruited new parliamentary staff and moved buildings, leaving his constituents unable to contact him for several weeks.

Their self-confidence hubris is almost impossible to dent. \"You can be three or 73 and a Kiss fan,\" declares guitarist Paul Stanley, who along with guitarist Tommy Thayer and drummer Eric Singer make up the rest of the band. \"Our fans are celebrating our jubilant approach to life and the fact we don't take rubbish from anybody and you can come out a winner. \"So they're an army, they're a team, they're a tribe, and as time goes on we become more iconic. \"Even with a change of member the band become stronger and it shows that nothing can stop Kiss. \" Since the band have been going for 36 years, maybe they've earned their right to their hubris. Since their formation in New York during the glam rock era, they've sold a hundred million albums. The original line up of Simmons, Stanley, Ace Frehley and drummer Peter Criss put on face paint to create four characters - Demon, Starchild, Spaceman and Catman. It's endured and become a trademark. This year they released their first studio album for 11 years, Sonic Boom. It's been acclaimed for its \"original and youthful\" 70s sound - possibly something to do with the band using analogue tapes for the recording. \"We did such a successful tour two years ago and the band never felt better,\" explains Stanley. \"And there came a time when we looked at each other and thought it shouldn't just be about celebrating our past, and it was time to write another chapter. \"Sonic Boom is arguably the best thing we've done in 25 years. It's four people going into the studio and committing to making a great album. \"You can't make a great record when you're going, 'How can this band make me more famous?' You've got to think: 'How can I pay tribute to this great institution? And I believe Sonic Boom is a classic album - it's not a retro album at all.\" Endurance test Self-deprecation isn't in the band vocabulary - but fans don't mind at all. The group have attracted a devoted following known as the Kiss Army. \"Without our fans we're nothing,\" says Simmons. \"There is a relationship and love and respect between fan and band that is unequalled. \"On the other hand they have the highest expectation. If you think you can go out there, sit on a rug and strum a few songs on an acoustic guitar, good luck to you.\" The fans may love it, but gigs can be an endurance test for the band. Running round in armour and stacked heels is hard at any age - but Simmons is now 60 years old. \"Try walking around in these for two and a half hours,\" he says, pointing to his enormous boots. \"This is not a sympathy ploy, by the way. We're proud of our energy, we welcome any band that has the courage to get on stage with us. U2, Rolling Stones - we like you very much. Come play with us.\" Simmons may also be a reality TV star - his family are in the Gene Simmons Family Jewels series on US TV - but by far the most lucrative part of Kiss's career has been their merchandising. They are the number one merchandise band in the world - selling everything from dolls of themselves, to snooker cues, rubber ducks and even branded coffee. They also helpfully sell fridges which can double up as a coffin for devoted members of the Kiss Army. As Simmons once remarked: \"Planet Kiss sounds a lot better than Planet Earth.\" \"Our job is to give the fans what they want,\" argues Stanley. \"It would be selfish of us not to. \"When other bands complain about what we do, it's because they're so damn boring that nobody wants one of their T-shirts or a doll or a Mr Potato Head, whatever. We work in a way that if you don't like the merch, don't get it.\" Surprisingly for a band so focused on their own product, they confess they see the UK as \"the holy land\" because it's produced so many of their musical heroes. \"We are dyed in the wool Anglophiles,\" maintains Stanley. \"Growing up - we wanted to be in The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, The Kinks, The Yardbirds, The Pretty Things.\" \"Don't forget Slade,\" adds Simmons, with a completely deadpan face. \"For a small country - there must be something in the water,\" Stanley continues. \"It's frightening how many great acts come out of the UK.\" Simmons agrees: \"Song writing is alive and well over here. Keane write terrific songs, Arctic Monkeys are great. \"But we're waiting for stars. We want to see the new Marc Bolan, the new David Bowie before he went all disco - when he was Ziggy, he ruled the world. We're looking for people like a rock'n'roll Lady Gaga - get out there and make a spectacle of yourself. \"We ourselves are proudly entertainers. Yes, we made it this far with our music, but on stage we pummel you, we deafen you, we blind you - and we leave you smiling.\" Kiss play Birmingham NEC on May 11 and Wembley Arena on May 12 and 13th.",

In May, the company's chief executive, John Chen, said he would know by September whether the hardware business was likely to become profitable. Now, Blackberry says it will outsource hardware development to partners. The company has not yet confirmed when any further Blackberry phones will be released, but Mr Chen said on Wednesday that further devices including one with the \"iconic\" physical keyboard would go on sale. \"I always wanted to make sure that we keep having the iconic devices,\" Mr Chen told BNN. \"I just need to find a way to be efficient and be able to make money. I think we found the model.\" The company said it sold about 400,000 smartphones in its second quarter - fewer than the previous three months. \"Blackberry can't keep producing its own phones indefinitely just to serve a small subset of its clients addicted to its home-grown devices,\" said Ben Wood of the CCS Insight consultancy. \"Blackberry had made no secret of the fact that it might shut down its own phone-making business. Pushing it out to a third party is a sensible solution - but any manufacturer making Blackberry branded devices will ultimately face the same challenges.\" 'I said a year' Mr Chen has been candid about the future of Blackberry's handset business, saying he would consider closing the division if it could not become profitable. In May, he told Bloomberg that he would know by September whether that was likely. \"The first time I made that statement was September a year ago,\" said Mr Chen. \"When people ask me, 'How long will it take?'... I said a year. So, it's going to be September this year.\" In October 2015, Blackberry changed the direction of its handset business by producing its first smartphone running Google's Android operating system, rather than its own BB10 software. However, Mr Chen has admitted the device, which featured a slide-out physical keyboard, was too expensive to appeal to a mass market. The company has since launched a less expensive touchscreen-only Android handset, based on a phone released by Alcatel owner TCL. A bumpy history March 2002: Technology company Research In Motion (RIM) released the Blackberry 5810 - a phone, email and mobile web-browsing device with a full Qwerty keyboard. Described as one of the first smartphones, it was able to make and receive calls when connected to a headset. 2007: Now featuring a colour screen, camera and an improved mobile web browser, Blackberry handsets became popular in the business world and soon enjoyed celebrity endorsements from the likes of Kim Kardashian. June 2007: Steve Jobs introduced Apple's iPhone. The device is said to have changed the course of the smartphone industry by introducing downloadable apps and bringing an easy-to-use touchscreen device to the mass market. The iPhone was the first mobile phone to feature a \"full\" web browser, something Blackberry executives are reported to have thought would cause mobile phone networks to collapse. November 2008: Under pressure from mobile networks to develop an \"iPhone killer\", Blackberry produced the Storm. The handset featured a touchscreen that physically clicked when pressed, to emulate the feeling of the firm's famous keyboards. The device ran Blackberry OS - the firm's legacy operating system, which had been built before the advent of downloadable apps. Critics said the Storm was glitchy and slow, and its web browser paled in comparison to the iPhone's offering. Despite the Storm's poor reception, Blackberry continued to grow its market share until 2010. April 2011: The company launched its Playbook tablet, its first device to ditch Blackberry OS in favour of a new, modern operating system. The Playbook was marketed as a larger-screen \"companion\" for the firm's smartphones but lacked basic features such as a built-in calendar and email app. By December, the company had written $485m (£370m) off the value of its unsold tablets. The firm's chief executives Mike Lazaridis and Jim Balsillie stepped down soon after. January 2013: RIM became Blackberry Limited and launched its BB10 operating system, six years after the appearance of the iPhone. The platform struggled to attract app developers, who were already occupied producing software for Android and iOS and were reluctant to support a third platform. Big-name apps such as Google Maps, Instagram and Snapchat never officially made it to BB10. October 2015: Blackberry released its first Android-powered smartphone, Priv, seven years after rivals produced the first Android devices. Sales of Priv were thought to have missed targets and the firm's current chief executive John Chen later admitted the device had been too expensive. July 2016: The company's first touchscreen-only Android device, Dtek 50, was released. To reduce costs the handset was based on a phone manufactured by Alcatel owner TCL.",

            "input": "By Daniel SokolMedical ethicist and barrister Ebola is named after a river in the northern part of the Democratic Republic of Congo. Statistically, it is a relatively trivial disease, killing a few thousand people since its discovery in 1976. In contrast, malaria and tuberculosis each kill several million people each year. Measles killed 122,000 in 2012. Yet, Ebola has captured the public imagination. We do not know which animal harbours the virus although bats have long been suspected, and this makes prevention and control difficult. The clinical manifestation is dramatic, with rapid progression from infection to cell death and symptoms that can include bleeding, vomiting and diarrhoea. The fatality rate is high, ranging from 50% to 90%. Stigma A common feature of Ebola epidemics is stigma. Sufferers and survivors are often stigmatised by the community, and so too are hospital workers. In past outbreaks, some survivors were not welcomed back into their community, some were unable to find work, and some were abandoned by their partners. In the Ugandan outbreak of 2000/2001, the possessions and homes of some survivors were burned. Volunteers trained by the Red Cross visited villages to dispel myths and persuade them to accept the return of survivors. One survivor of the 1995-1997 outbreaks in Gabon described how people would walk backwards away from him, taxis would not stop and, at roadblocks, police would wave him through for fear of touching his identity card. Hospitals, often ill-prepared to deal with Ebola, have played a role as amplifiers of epidemics in the past. Many victims since 1976 have been healthcare workers. This gave rise to rumours. In the 1995 Ebola outbreak in Kikwit, Democratic Republic of Congo, the link between the hospital and those dying of Ebola was such that it generated a popular rumour: doctors were murdering workers who had smuggled diamonds out from the nearby mines. Hostility In the Ugandan outbreak, locals believed white people sold the body parts of the victims for profit. Western medical staff were viewed with suspicion, and sometimes suspected of bringing in the disease in. Every major outbreak of Ebola has been met with local resistance and hostility. In January 2002, an international team of experts fled a village in Mekambo, Gabon, when the villagers threatened them with violence. It is not just the locals who are frightened, but the medical staff too. Medical historians have documented the cultural disdain for local African customs shown by the colonisers of the early 20th century, for example in the response to the sleeping sickness epidemic that afflicted the Belgian Congo. This sometimes led to revolt on the part of villagers, who were forced to take drugs whose efficacy they doubted and who were touched and prodded in unfamiliar ways. Funeral practices have also played a role in spreading the disease, but interfering with these has led to discontent. In past epidemics, locals have simply ignored the recommendations not to bury the dead as before, or not to hunt bush meat. Some communities have relied on more accessible and familiar traditional healers, and these could spread the disease by cutting the skin or performing other invasive procedures. The health infrastructure in some of the countries afflicted by the disease is poor. Informed consent It is against this complex historical, cultural and social background that the ethicists this week will need to make a decision. The norms of medical ethics, such as informed consent, may also be different there, and there is a danger in transposing Western norms into different cultures. A well-known saying in ethics is that \"good ethics starts with good facts\". Ideally, sitting around that table will be medical historians, anthropologists, clinicians, epidemiologists, logisticians and other specialists. Only then can a nuanced appreciation of the likely risks and benefits be determined. This will include anticipating what might happen if the drug is introduced and proves ineffective or even harmful, how the media and the local community will react and the consequences of this reaction for victims, healthcare workers, and others, and how the selection process for candidate drugs should take place. Without this input from other disciplines and an understanding of the situation \"on the ground\", the views of the ethicists may be of limited practical value. Dr Daniel Sokol, PhD, is a medical ethicist and barrister at 12 King's Bench Walk Chambers, London.",

The UAE did not comment when approached by the BBC. July's attack killed 53 migrants and injured 130, and was described as a potential war crime by a UN official. Most of those killed at the Tajoura migrant detention centre, east of the capital, Tripoli, are believed to have been sub-Saharan Africans attempting to reach Europe from Libya. It was the highest publicly reported death toll from an attack since the Libyan National Army (LNA) began a fresh offensive in April to topple the UN-backed Government of National Accord (GNA) in Tripoli. \"This attack may, depending on the precise circumstances, amount to a war crime,\" UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet said at the time. You may also be interested in: The UN Special Mission in Libya told the BBC it had shared the co-ordinates of migrant centres with both sides in the conflict to prevent them from being hit. The GNA said in July the attack had been carried out by a fighter plane from the UAE. The LNA, under Gen Khalifa Haftar, initially said it had bombed a legitimate target but later denied being involved. A panel working for the UN Security Council has spent months trying to establish who was behind the attack. BBC Arabic saw a confidential report which will be presented to the UN Security Council on Wednesday. The report cites evidence from a confidential source saying \"an unknown number of Mirage 2000-9\" fighter jets were operating from two airbases inside Libya at the time of the strike. The UAE and Egypt, which have both backed the LNA, have a large number of Mirage fighter jets. A spokesman for the Egyptian Army said it did not want to comment on a report before it had been published. The UN report says the Mirage jets were using two airbases: Jufra and al-Khadim. In 2017, the UN said the UAE had built up the air base at al-Khadim and provided air support to Gen Haftar's forces. The confidential report concludes it is \"highly probable\" the air strike was carried out using precision-guided missiles by a fighter jet \"operated by a [UN] member state acting in direct support of HAF [Haftar Armed Forces]\". The report does not name the state as it says evidence is still being gathered. The UAE and LNA did not respond to repeated BBC requests for comment. \"If there is concrete evidence of direct military intervention by outside countries, then that is totally unacceptable, and needs to be investigated at the most senior levels,\" said the former UK ambassador to Libya, Peter Millet. There has been an arms embargo on Libya since 2011. In August 2019, the UAE signed a commitment to stick to the embargo along with the UK, US, France and Italy.",

It's taken this long, and the pendant is yet to be valued, but finally the British Museum in London has confirmed its authenticity. How to know if what you've found is treasure Naturally not every item you find is classed as treasure - so what should you keep a look out for? \"Treasure is essentially any gold or silver artefact that is more than 300 years old - or any groups of gold, silver or bronze coins that are found together,\" Tom tells Newsbeat. \"Hordes of coins - medieval gold and silver jewellery - things like that.\" Julie Shoemark, a finds officer, says Tom's gold pendant dates back to the early Christianisation of Anglo-Saxon England, around the middle of the seventh century AD. Treasure is... Any object that is at least 300 years old when found and... Don't cause any damage Many archaeologists are keen for amateur hunters to share their finds with the wider community but stress that undiscovered cultural sites shouldn't be damaged to avoid them being permanently lost. Finds in England and Wales that are described as treasure under the Treasure Act must, by law, be reported. Note the laws around finding treasure are different in Scotland and Northern Ireland. There is also a voluntary reporting scheme for finds which may have cultural or historical significance. Since its launch almost 20 years ago, experts at the Portable Antiquities Scheme have examined more than 100,000 items. One of the scheme's main aims is \"to advance knowledge of the history and archaeology of England and Wales by systematically recording archaeological objects found by the public\". Buy decent tools for the job \"A decent entry-level metal detector probably comes in at £200. \"The second most important thing would be a GPS so you can plot exactly where these things are.\" Get permission from the person who owns the land Tom tells us that the key thing when searching on private land is to get permission from the land owner. \"Some land owners prefer a written agreement so there's clarity over everything but in most cases a verbal agreement ought to do it,\" he says. Don't get your hopes up before searching Tom has been metal detecting since he was 11-years-old - but he made his first major finds at the age of 21. \"It's amazing where junk goes. The furthest reaches from any sort of village or town will have modern bits of technology in them\" \"You'll get a big signal in the field and it'll sound really good but it's actually a great big aluminium can.\" Decide when something's special or not Tom told Newsbeat that anyone that wants to find treasure would be better off going out without the intention of finding treasure. \"It's not necessarily about going out and looking for treasure. It's about going out and looking for historical artefacts to add to the understanding of the area. \"The general rule in the hobby is if you don't know what something is don't throw it away,\" he says. Establish who owns the treasure first So you've made a deal with the land owner to search their grounds - and now you think you've found something special, but how do you decide who owns the treasure? \"It's a private agreement between the land owner and the finder and every case is different,\" he says. \"But the general agreement is a fifty-fifty share.\" Get an expert's opinion as soon as you can Tom found the artefacts in his first year at university. He's now in his final year studying landscape history and his findings have shaped his dissertation. \"I'm looking into why what I found was there and what that tells us about the area itself.\" So it seems like anyone that wants to find treasure would be better off going out without the intention of finding anything and Tom would agree. \"It's not necessarily about going out and looking for treasure.

The town flooded on Wednesday after two months' worth of rain fell in two days and the banks of the River Steeping broke its banks. Steve Hardy and his wife, who stayed at the Coronation Hall in Wainfleet overnight, said he initially refused to leave his house when officials knocked on his door. \"I said 'well we don't really want to'. \"Then when he said 'well look it's going to be hard work for us if we have to come and get you' and I don't want to put anybody's life at risk. So that was it.\" Lincolnshire Police has issued a request for people in the town not to use washing machines, toilets or showers. It said public toilets were being set up in Market Place and Brewster Lane and residents could use the showers at nearby Skegness Leisure Centre. RAF Chinook helicopters, aided by troops on the ground, have placed an additional 76 tonnes of sand and ballast on top of the 270 tonnes dropped on Friday in an attempt to reinforce and plug a breach in the River Steeping's banks. Ch Insp Phil Vickers, from Lincolnshire Police, said that it was important to reduce the river's levels. \"The Environment Agency have got some high volume pumps that are in place,\" he said. \"We're hoping they will assist us in clearing the water from the channel and from the area surrounding. \"Until we're satisfied that there isn't a risk to life, that there isn't a further risk to property, our advice will remain to stay out of that area.\" Lincolnshire Police tweeted a map of the areas at risk of flooding.

            "input": "Earlier this year, a video showing a group of teenage boys trying to rip the clothes off a young woman was shared extensively on WhatsApp in India. In it, she is urging them to stop, using the term \"bhaiyya\" (Hindi for brother) but they are jeering, laughing, clearly enjoying themselves. As the video went viral, police were able to establish that it was filmed in a village in the northern state of Bihar. The accused teenagers were arrested. The arrests caused anxiety in their village in Jehanabad, a four-hour drive from the state capital Patna, where village elders blamed the entire incident on smartphones. Making pornographic material or sharing it is illegal in India. But even as it becomes easier to access pornography thanks to cheap data and smartphones, there is concern that this isn't being accompanied by any meaningful understanding of sex and relationships. Local boys in the village freely admitted to the BBC that they watched videos of molestation and rape. One 16-year-old said he had seen more than 25 such videos, adding that his friends often shared them on their smartphones. \"Most boys in my class watch these videos together or sometimes by themselves,\" another boy said. \"It feels fine because everyone does it.\" Experts say this kind of introduction to sex is typical for many Indian men. \"We have not grown up being given sex education or having normal adult conversations about these things,\" says filmmaker and writer Paromita Vohra. She runs the website Agents of Ishq (Romance), which encourages open discussions about sex. \"When people only watch violent sexual content, it is very desensitising because they start believing that violence is the only way to get pleasure and that female consent is unimportant.\" India has 400 million smartphone users, and more than half of them use WhatsApp, which is the medium often used to share such videos. In a statement to the BBC, WhatsApp said: \"These horrendous rape videos and child pornography have no place on our platform. That's why we've made it easy to report problems like these so we can take appropriate action, including banning accounts. We also respond to valid legal requests from law enforcement in India to help them investigate crimes.\" Porn ban Concerned after a case in which some young men gang-raped a schoolgirl after allegedly watching porn on their mobile phones, a court in the northern state of Uttarakhand asked the federal government to reinstate a 2015 ban imposed by the Supreme Court on websites hosting violent pornography. It had been revoked almost instantly due to widespread protest. The ban only applies to some 800 websites that contain violent or abusive videos. This does not seem to have had much impact though. Within days of being blocked, one of the largest pornography websites had already set up a mirror site with a different URL for its Indian market. But is banning porn the answer? Many believe it is the lack of sex education that is fuelling the appetite for violent and misogynistic videos. Often, there is no deeper understanding of what a sexual relationship or experience should be for both men and women. This is something the government tried to change in 2009, when it began its Adolescent Education Programme (AEP). It sought to address changes in adolescence and dispel myths about gender, sexuality, sexually transmitted diseases and drug abuse. But implementing the programme remains a challenge. At an all-girls school in Jehanabad for instance, the principal had never heard of it. Huge market Sunita Krishnan, the founder of Prajwala, an organisation in the southern city of Hyderabad that deals with issues of sexual violence and trafficking says these violent videos reinforce the old belief that a woman's choice is insignificant and she has no agency. Ms Krishnan, a rape survivor herself, has also received such videos and has been campaigning to check their spread. In fact, the 2015 Supreme Court ban on porn sites was a result of her efforts. Even though she has managed to get a few of these videos taken down, she says it can be near impossible to completely erase something from the internet. Ranjeet Ranjan, who is one of only three women amongst Bihar's 40 MPs, says the lack of concern about such videos is alarming. \"No-one really cares. If people had even a little respect for these girls, they would have gone to the police station instead of sharing such videos,\" she said. Ms Ranjan is also concerned by what she sees as \"a competition\" to make such videos. \"If these continue to circulate and we have no sex education, then it will embolden the thinking that a woman should be treated as an object, a source of entertainment.\"",

But he resigned from the SNP in October 2012 over the party's decision to support Nato membership in an independent Scotland. He is opposed to membership of a \"first-strike\" nuclear alliance. Following his resignation, Mr Finnie stood as an independent MSP before joining the Scottish Greens in October 2014. 'Enjoyed helping people' Having been re-elected in 2016, he was joined in the Scottish Parliament by his daughter Ruth Maguire, who represents Cunninghame South for the SNP. Earlier this year, MSPs backed Mr Finnie's proposal to ban the physical punishment of children in Scotland by removing the defence of \"justifiable assault\" in Scots law. Announcing his retirement, Mr Finnie said he was looking forward to spending more time with his family. He said: \"I've been involved in representative politics since being elected a Highland councillor in 2007 and enjoyed helping people, but I feel the time is right to step aside and let others bring their energy and ideas to what is a demanding job. \"Throughout my time in parliament, I've put my home region of the Highlands and Islands and my constituents at the forefront of my work. \"Driven by my interest in social and environmental justice, I have been pleased to secure a number of concessions and legislative changes to improve the lives of people in the region.\"",

His death follows that of a 17-year-old girl, named locally as Tanesha Melbourne, who was killed in Tottenham. The killings, which police say are not linked, take the number of murders in the capital this year to 48. Amaan died in hospital at 17:45 BST on Tuesday with his next of kin at his side, becoming the youngest murder victim to die in London this year. The 15-year-old boy who was stabbed in the same attack has been released from hospital. Amaan was shot in a case of \"mistaken identity\", a family friend said. Speaking outside the scene of the shooting at Walthamstow Leisure Centre, Osman, 32, said Amaan had \"got caught up\" in \"gang wars\" in the area. Another friend, who did not want to give his name, told the BBC he no longer feels safe in the area. He said: \"There's nothing to do for the youths. It's getting out of control. \"The youth centre's football pitches are the one place people can come to get away from whatever they're getting away from.\" Extra police are on the streets of Walthamstow and officers said they were using stop-and-search powers to seize weapons. DCI Gary Holmes said: \"This is a tragic murder of a young man which has shocked the local community and the rest of London.\" Is gun crime getting worse? David Rhodes, BBC England Data Unit Overall, recorded gun crime in London is down by a third over 10 years. Yet the latest available figures, for 2016-17, showed an increase. There were 2,136 firearms offences recorded by the Metropolitan Police, a rise of 580 in a year. Across England and Wales the number of people dying due to injuries from firearms is also down significantly compared with a decade ago, although the most recent figures show a rise. There were 32 homicides involving guns in 2016-17, compared with 53 in 2007-08. Yet the number of people dying has risen every year for the past three years. Tanesha, whose name has not been officially confirmed, was pronounced dead at 22:43 on Monday after a drive-by shooting in Chalgrove Road near Northumberland Park, Tottenham. Her death came as police were already at the scene two miles away in Markhouse Road, Walthamstow, after being called at about 22:00. There have been no arrests in either investigation. Acting Det Ch Insp Glenn Butler, who is investigating the Walthamstow shooting, said: \"I fully appreciate the alarm, shock and revulsion caused by this murder and other fatal shootings we have seen across London over the last few months. \"We are doing everything we can to identify the culprits and bring them to justice.\" He added \"the recovery of local CCTV footage is in hand and my officers will be knocking on doors\". Acting Ch Supt Tania Coulson said officers had met community leaders about the murder investigation. \"Section 60 - an intelligence-led pre-authorised power to stop and search - has been continually reviewed and put in place since the evening of Monday 2 April,\" she said. \"My officers have been on the streets using this power really effectively, seizing knives, stopping cars of young men carrying weapons and making arrests. That will continue... if necessary.\" At the scene Greg McKenzie, BBC London The police tents and forensic officers who were outside Walthamstow Leisure Centre yesterday have gone but there are remnants of police tape around the area. Flowers and tributes have been laid near the site where 16-year-old Amaan was shot. One card simply reads: \"I'm so sorry this has happened to you.\" One resident described him as \"a beautiful young boy\". Another local resident said the increasing number of murders which have happened in the area was worrying. \"It's getting out of control. It used to feel like a safe neighbourhood but everything has changed,\" he said. London's Deputy Mayor for Policing and Crime Sophie Linden described the murders as \"truly shocking and worrying\" and said City Hall was \"prioritising tackling this violence\". \"We're not pretending there isn't a problem in London but we will get on top of it,\" she said. Shadow home secretary Diane Abbott warned against the use of random stop and search tactics, saying it \"poisoned relationships\" between police and the community. Speaking to the BBC, the Hackney North and Stoke Newington MP suggested lessons could be learned from how Scotland dealt with knife crime. \"They implemented a public health approach to knife crime - where police worked with education and other parts of the state, and last year... there were no deaths from knife crime in Scotland,\" she said. Labour Leader Jeremy Corbyn called for an end to cuts in police budgets. He said: \"We need to make sure there's complete prosecution for anyone holding a weapon; but also much better police and community support arrangements and no longer cuts in London's policing.\" A Home Office spokesman said: \"There can be no place in our society for violent crime. The government is determined to do everything it can to break the cycle. \"We have already consulted on new laws on offensive and dangerous weapons, including banning online stores from delivering knives to residential addresses and making it an offence to possess certain weapons in private.\"",

The UK government wants to bring in elected police commissioners in England and Wales. But it needs the assembly's permission to introduce police and crime panels to scrutinise the commissioners in Wales. The panels would affect local government, which is devolved. AMs voted to refuse their consent in the Senedd on Tuesday night, the first time such a move has happened on Westminster legislation. Mr Herbert reacted angrily, saying he would push ahead with his plans for elected commissioners anyway. Concessions offered to Wales would be withdrawn, he added. But some senior figures in the assembly say the rebuff over police panels may have much larger implications for the way the system of commissioners can now work in Wales. Mr Herbert wrote to AMs on Monday, urging them to vote in favour of the so-called legislative consent motion. He said he was concerned there may be some misunderstanding about the motion and insisted it was not a vote on the merits of commissioners. Responding to the vote, Mr Herbert said: \"This wasn't a vote on police and crime commissioners because the House of Commons has already decided to introduce them in England and Wales. \"It was a vote to ensure that special arrangements could apply in Wales. \"By unwisely voting against the motion, I regret that some assembly members have cut off their noses to spite their faces, so that these agreed arrangements for Wales, which gave a role for the Welsh Assembly Government, cannot now apply. \"Police and crime commissioners will go ahead, ensuring that the people in Wales have a real say over how their communities are policed.\" The assembly government, which is opposed to replacing police authorities with directly-elected commissioners, said it would inform the Home Office of the assembly's decision.

A no-deal Brexit could mean tariffs and delays at the border that interrupt supplies of some food, he said. But Mr Lewis said leaving the EU could also provide opportunities for the UK. Mr Lewis said the supermarket chain had bought extra stock of long-life items in preparation for 29 March - when the UK was initially expected to leave the EU - but said it would be harder to make similar preparations this time round. \"We'll do whatever is practical depending on how things develop between now and then. \"But the challenge will always be those things which are shorter life - fresh produce. That's what the UK imports quite a lot of,\" he said. 'Uncertainty' He said the impact on shoppers of a no-deal Brexit was still uncertain. \"Empty shelves depends on what no-deal means. If there's a problem at the border, if there's a problem with tariffs then there could be interruption. \"If as part of no deal there is no tariff, there is no problem. We could be absolutely fine,\" he said. The UK currently imports about half of the food it eats, but Mr Lewis said Brexit could be a good time to \"take stock\". \"It may be a good time for the UK to... decide, actually: what food do we want to eat, with what impact on health, with what impact on the environment. \"Having a food strategy for the country would be a very good outcome.\" Less waste Other key challenges facing the supermarket giant are demands for healthy eating, cutting waste and plastic-free packaging. Mr Lewis admitted companies \"don't ever do enough\" to cut plastic use. While Tesco has removed plastics where it can and introduced the option for customers to bring their own packaging, he said getting rid of it completely would require huge changes across the supply chain which would involve \"9,000 suppliers across 35,000 products\".

The police have identified a group of 22 young people - aged between 13 and 18 - that may have been abused. The investigation follows a review of cases of young people missing from the care system over the past 18 months. A team of 15 detectives and social workers is working on the investigation. The issue is to be discussed at Stormont on Monday during a joint meeting of the assembly's health and justice committees. Health Minister Edwin Poots and Justice Minister David Ford are due to attend the Stormont meeting. In a statement, Mr Poots said: \"The Safeguarding Board Northern Ireland has identified child sexual exploitation as a priority and is developing and agreeing a multi-agency action plan to deal with the issue. \"Our first priority is to ensure that those who cynically exploit children in this way face the full force of the law and are brought to justice. That is why I have given my full support to the joint investigation between the PSNI and Social Services of CSE currently under way. \"All agencies must continue to demonstrate that robust and sufficient action is being taken to both prevent children and young people being sexually exploited and to deal effectively with those who perpetrate child sexual exploitation.\" The health minister has said the abuse was on a scale not seen before in Northern Ireland and compared it to recent high-profile court cases in Rochdale and Oxford. The majority of the children were abused when they went missing from care homes but it is understood some of the victims were living at home with their families and were abused when they left their homes. Justice Monday's Stormont meeting was called by the justice committee chairman, Paul Givan, who described the reports of abuse as \"gravely disturbing\". \"The horrors of these crimes leave us only to pray for the victims and work towards ensuring the perpetrators are brought to justice,\" he said. \"The public will be deeply concerned at this development and need to hear from the relevant authorities as to what has happened.\" Mr Givan said the meeting would provide \"an opportunity to probe what actions are being taken to investigate and bring to justice those responsible\". Neil Anderson, of the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, (NSPCC), said: \"As the details of this investigation begin to unfold, I want to stress NSPCC's commitment to working closely with other safeguarding and child protection agencies to ensure a co-ordinated response to the support of victims. \"The early focus of this investigation in Northern Ireland has been on children in care, but it is important to remember that vulnerable children from all backgrounds and all walks of life can become victims of sexual exploitation. \"This is a sharp reminder that every one of us has to remain vigilant and when we have concerns about a child, we have to speak out.\"",

Remarkable sensitivity should also enable the observatory to see hundreds of thousands of new celestial objects, including previously unknown planets. The main structure of the spacecraft was moved this week from the UK factory where it has been for a year to undergo tests on its propulsion system. EADS Astrium in Stevenage transported Gaia by road to Ampac-ISP at Aylesbury for checks on its cold gas micro-thrusters. Once this work is complete, the structure will then go to Astrium's Toulouse, France, facility for final preparations. The European Space Agency (Esa) satellite is due for launch in 2012 on a Soyuz rocket from the new Sinnamary spaceport in French Guiana. Gaia is a successor to Europe's Hipparcos space astrometry mission which ran in the late 1980s and early 1990s. It catalogued more than 100,000 stars in our galaxy. The new mission is a step change in capability, however. Its billion-pixel camera system will give scientists an unprecedented 3D map of the sky. Over a five-year period, it will chart the precise positions, distances, movements, luminosities, and changes in brightness of stars. These details will unlock new information about the structure, origin and evolution of our Milky Way Galaxy. And because Gaia will track anything that passes across its field of vision, it is likely also to see countless objects that had hitherto gone unrecorded - such as asteroids, planets beyond our Solar System, and tepid stars that never quite fired into life. What you see in the image at the top of this page is Gaia's electrical and service module. This is the part of the satellite that will do all of the \"housekeeping\" in space. It contains elements such as the attitude and orbit control system, the avionics, the computer and data handling subsystems. A large antenna will go underneath the structure to allow Gaia to talk to Earth. What you do not see here is the payload module that will eventually go on top. This will be the unit that contains Gaia's telescopes and camera system. Nor do you see the thermal shield which will open - petal-like - from the underside of the service module to give protection to Gaia's sensitive optics. \"Gaia came to Stevenage about a year ago as a bare structure,\" said the Astrium UK Gaia project manager, Andy Whitehouse. \"Since then we've integrated the propulsion system. We've built all of that offline and then put it on the structure. There's a lot of pipework that runs around inside, and the tanks are also inside as well.\" Mark Tomlin, the assembly and integration test manager, added: \"There wasn't much time to bring all this together. We've done almost 500 welds on the mechanical service module and that's taken us on the order of six months to achieve. It's been a monumental task. Each weld has to be X-rayed and cleaned.\" As a lead member state of the European Space Agency, the UK is playing a prominent role on the mission, both scientifically and industrially. The immense array of camera detectors, or CCDs (charge-coupled devices), is being provided by e2v at Chelmsford. \"The bulk of the work going on here at Astrium UK is on the electrical side, not the mechanical side,\" observed Dr Ralph Cordey, the company's head of science. \"This includes the crucial onboard processing units, which turn the prodigious amounts of data Gaia will get from its CCDs into a data stream that can be sent to Earth.\" Jonathan.Amos-INTERNET@bbc.co.uk",

There are also concerns as to whether the vaccine continues to work after one year, and the need for regular boosters which would add on to costs for governments.

Anyone who thinks they bought one should call 0800 151 0905 or visit a dedicated website, being set up on Monday, to check if their dryer is affected. If it is on the recall list, they should stop using it and unplug it immediately. They can then choose: There are no plans for any extra measures for those machines which have already been modified, despite cases of some of them catching fire after they had been fixed. 'Our home burnt down' Graeme and Sue Garnham's Guildford council home was gutted by fire while they were waiting for an engineer to modify their defective dryer. \"I was stood there in my bare feet, at the bottom of the alleyway, watching it all go up. The windows were popping out,\" Mr Garnham said. \"I just couldn't talk.\" His wife said: \"Thirty years of memories were gone. We don't have any photos of our wedding anymore.\" Mrs Garnham, a healthcare assistant, and her husband, a cleaner, have been re-housed, but had to rely on the generosity of family and friends to replace damaged belongings. \"We had kept on saying we have got to get insurance, but we did not have the money,\" Mrs Garnham said. They have heard nothing from Whirlpool, but Mr Noel told the BBC: \"My heart goes out to them. This is not the way I would have wanted to be treated.\" What was the issue? A fault in Whirlpool machines was blamed for at least 750 fires over an 11-year period, the government has said. Whirlpool said it had logged 54 fires caused by fluff dropping from a collector by the drum onto the heating element in its tumble dryers in recent years. Three of the fires were in machines that had been modified. It argued that two official reviews, including one by the Office of Product Safety and Standards, had found the modification to be effective. Although more than five million were sold, the company said the majority would have fallen out of use. It said it had resolved 1.7 million cases - a greater success rate than most recalls - and estimated that 500,000 affected dryers could still be in use. When pressed by MPs, it said some estimates had suggested as many as 800,000 remained in homes. The recall, demanded by the government in an unprecedented move, came after nearly four years of the modification programme. The official launch of the recall would be supported by a £1m advertising campaign aimed at raising awareness for remaining owners, the company said. Was this an inherited problem? The safety concerns emerged after Whirlpool bought Italian white goods giant Indesit, which had manufactured the products, in 2014. Mr Noel said the company had conducted all the appropriate checks before buying Indesit, and had \"done the right thing\" by voluntarily alerting authorities to the safety problem which became clear after the acquisition. \"We bought the company [Indesit]. We own the company. The customers are ours and our responsibility,\" he said. He said that the company had to accept the resulting scrutiny, and had learned lessons along the way. Consumer groups said that Whirlpool's ability to deal with the problem had been found wanting. \"Whirlpool has failed to trace hundreds of thousands of fire-risk tumble dryers that could still be in people's homes almost four years after this fault was first discovered, so we have serious doubts about the company's ability to get these machines out of circulation now,\" said Caroline Normand, from consumers' association Which?. It said the recall had only resulted from the threat of government action, and that ministers should keep the company and its campaign under scrutiny.",

            "input": "All 14 passengers and two crew lost their lives in April 2009 when the Bond Super Puma came down off Peterhead. The Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) said an indication of gear degradation had not been picked up on. There was a \"catastrophic failure\" of the main rotor gearbox as a result of a fatigue fracture, it said. June Taylor, the ex-wife of victim Leslie Taylor, told BBC Scotland: \"I think there should be a fatal accident inquiry, I think there is someone to blame. It should be explained.\" The Super Puma helicopter had been returning from BP's Miller oil platform when it crashed about 11 miles north east of Peterhead, in Aberdeenshire. Eight of the victims came from the north east of Scotland, seven from Liverpool, Norfolk and Worcestershire, and one from Latvia. The AAIB report said a magnetic particle had been found on the chip detector in the gearbox of the Eurocopter Super Puma a week before the crash. However, it was not recognised as an indication of the degradation of a part of the gearbox known as the second stage planet gear. The AAIB said: \"The use of verbal and email communication between the operator and manufacturer on 25 March led to a misunderstanding or miscommunication of the issue.\" It was this second stage planet gear that failed just days later as a result of a fatigue crack. The main rotor separated from the fuselage and the aircraft crashed into the sea as the helicopter was flying to Aberdeen from the Miller Platform. 'Final transmission' The report said the captain had transmitted a mayday followed by the co-pilot. \"One second later, one of the flight crew uttered an expletive; this was the final radio transmission,\" the report added. The report makes 17 safety recommendations. Bill Munro, managing director of Bond Offshore Helicopters, which is part of the Gloucestershire-based Bond Aviation Group, said: \"The manufacturer's procedures have been strengthened and Bond, along with others in the industry, implemented those changes immediately. \"We take a rigorous approach to safety and will continue to do so as technology and best practice evolve. Our company will also implement any further actions required by the industry which are issued by the authorities and manufacturer as a result of the report. \"Our thoughts remain with the families of those who died, and their loss is a constant driver in our commitment to the highest standards of safety in all our operations.\" Eurocopter said it remained committed to working closely with the regulatory authorities, investigators and its operators to prevent the risk of accidents. 'Significant developments' A Crown Office spokesperson said: \"The Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service (COPFS) welcomes the publication of the report on this tragic incident by the Air Accidents Investigation Branch, following a technically complex and challenging investigation. \"The findings contained therein will now be fully considered by the health and safety division of COPFS. \"The division and Grampian Police have been engaged in this investigation since the tragedy occurred and will continue to progress lines of inquiry and carry out such investigation as is necessary in order that a decision may be taken in relation to the form of any proceedings. \"The liaison with the nearest relatives of the 16 men who lost their lives will also continue and the division will keep them advised of significant developments.\" Crew names The two crew who died were Captain Paul Burnham, 31, of Methlick, Aberdeenshire, and co-pilot Richard Menzies, 24, of Droitwich Spa, who worked for Bond Offshore Helicopters. The KCA Deutag employees killed were Brian Barkley, 30, of Aberdeen; Vernon Elrick, 41, of Aberdeen; Leslie Taylor, 41, of Kintore, Aberdeenshire; Nairn Ferrier, 40, of Dundee; Gareth Hughes, 53, of Angus; David Rae, 63, of Dumfries; Raymond Doyle, 57, of Cumbernauld; James John Edwards, 33, of Liverpool; Nolan Goble, 34, of Norwich, and Mihails Zuravskis, 39, of Latvia. The other victims were James Costello, 24, of Aberdeen, who was contracted to Production Services Network (PSN); Alex Dallas, 62, of Aberdeen, who worked for Sparrows Offshore Services; Warren Mitchell, 38, of Oldmeldrum, Aberdeenshire, who worked for Weatherford UK; and Stuart Wood, 27, of Aberdeen, who worked for Expro North Sea Ltd.",

The royal couple spent several minutes talking to people in the crowd as they arrived at the Esplanade in front of the castle. They then attended the firing of the castle's famous One o'Clock Gun. The visit is the fourth public appearance the couple have made together following their engagement in November. It follows trips to Nottingham, Brixton in south London and Cardiff. Royal fans braved wet and cold conditions to greet the prince and his bride-to-be at the start of their tour of the city. Ms Markle wore a Burberry coat, with trousers by Veronica Beard. She also carried a handbag made by Edinburgh firm Strathberry, the same make as the bag she wore on her first Royal engagement in Nottingham in December. The couple paused on the Esplanade for a few minutes to shake hands and talk to people in the crowd. One of the first well-wishers to arrive at the castle's esplanade was Sarah Coronado, 28, a masters student from Mexico studying at Edinburgh University. She said: \"Seeing the couple is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. We don't have these visits in Mexico or my hometown of Monterey. \"They are also the hot couple of the moment because of their marriage coming up. \"I also think Meghan is a role model, she's not just a pretty face. I think she's going to change the face of the monarchy.\" At the castle, Harry and Ms Markle joined Sergeant Dave Beveridge, district gunner, Royal Artillery, for the firing of the One o'Clock Gun. They were given ear defenders before standing behind the gun, which dates back to 1861. The couple also chatted to cadets and took in views across the city, before briefly waving to the crowds as they departed. Harry and Ms Markle then visited social enterprise cafe, Social Bite, where they were again greeted by large crowds. Many people waited in the cold for three hours for a glimpse of the pair. Social Bite distributes 100,000 items of food and hot drinks to homeless people across Scotland each year, as well as employing staff who have experienced homelessness themselves. Harry and Ms Markle spent time speaking to co-founders Josh Littlejohn and Alice Thompson. They explained how homeless people struggle to find employment without an address. The cafe offers work to those without their own accommodation as part of efforts to end the issue in Scotland. When speaking to staff in the kitchen, Ms Markle said she wanted to work there because it seemed \"fun\". Harry and Ms Markle then went to the Palace of Holyroodhouse for their final public engagement. The couple attended a reception to celebrate youth achievements as part of Scotland's Year of Young People 2018. Crowds lined the approach to the palace as the royal couple arrived. A band from Impact Arts were among the performers and they made a tongue-in-cheek pitch to play at the royal wedding on May 19. Band member Darren Telford said: \"What we said was that a little birdie had told us that Ed Sheeran was going to be playing an upcoming wedding and if he couldn't make it we are free if they wanted.\"",

Many of the pilgrims had slept on the beach after attending an all-night vigil, also led by Pope Francis. Sunday's ceremony marks the end of the Pope's five-day visit to Brazil - his first foreign trip since becoming pontiff in March. He flew back to Rome late on Sunday. The BBC's Wyre Davies in Rio says almost every inch of the two-and-a-half mile long beach was occupied ahead of the Mass, as most of the young people stayed after the vigil, pitching tents or sleeping in the open. The vigil and Sunday mass attracted the biggest crowd ever to Copacabana beach, which has hosted rock concerts, sports events and the traditional New Year celebrations. Pope Francis encouraged young Catholics to get out of their parochial boundaries in order to help others. \"Go and don't be afraid of serving,\" he said. \"Jesus did not gather the Apostles so they lived in isolation. He called them so they formed a group, a community,\" said Pope Francis. He announced the next Catholic youth festival would be held in the Polish city of Krakow in 2016. Female activists held a demonstration nearby in support of abortion and women's rights. But our correspondent says the Pope and the Church hierarchy will be delighted at the huge turnout and the way Francis has been received by pilgrims from across the globe. Preaching in favelas In the past three decades, the Catholic church has lost millions of followers to smaller Christian denominations. In his vigil address on Saturday, the pontiff had urged the pilgrims not to be \"part-time Christians\", but to lead full, meaningful lives. Speaking on a huge stage at the beach where a mock church structure was built, Pope Francis referred to the street protests which have been taking place in Brazil for more than a month. \"The young people in the street are the ones who want to be actors of change. Please don't let others be actors of change,\" he told the crowd at the vigil. \"Keep overcoming apathy and offering a Christian response to the social and political concerns taking place in different parts of the world.\" Also on Saturday, the Pope repeated his challenge to fellow Roman Catholic clerics to take to the streets. In a speech to 1,000 bishops and clerics in Rio's cathedral, he said they should go to the favelas - Brazil's shanty towns. \"We cannot keep ourselves shut up in parishes, in our communities, when so many people are waiting for the Gospel,\" he told the audience. Protests, sometimes violent, broke out in cities across Brazil last month against corruption, poor public services and the high cost of events like the 2014 World Cup.",

            "input": "By Theo LeggettBusiness correspondent, BBC News It is certainly disconcerting at first: you're happily driving along a country road at 60mph (97km/h) when a speed limit sign on the dashboard starts blinking irritably and your car begins to slow down, all by itself. This is what it feels like to use an intelligent speed assistance system (ISA). Or at least, it's what it feels like if you fail to spot a speed restriction sign and are about to go sailing through a small village at close to double the 30mph limit. The car will also make sure that as you pass through the village your speed stays down. It does this not by automatically applying the brakes - that's emergency assistive braking - but by limiting the engine power. If your speed does creep up for any reason an insistent electronic chime will alert you. Systems like this are already available on a number of new cars, although they will only work if you take the trouble to switch them on. But they will soon become a lot more common, because the European Union is planning to make them compulsory on all new cars from 2022. The European Transport Safety Council has long advocated their use, citing studies suggesting they are the most effective life-saving driver assistance systems. The Department for Transport has said the same rules will apply in the UK, even once we have left the EU. In fact, the EU has set out a much wider range of compulsory safety measures that will have to be fitted to all cars from that date, including emergency automatic braking, lane-keeping assistance and systems to prevent drivers from becoming drowsy or distracted. Misconceptions But none has so far proved nearly as divisive as ISA, or has generated as many headlines. That's because ISA limits speed and the very idea of compulsory speed limiters is something many drivers object to. Supporters of the plan claim there are misconceptions around what ISA is and what it actually does. \"Most people want to stick to the speed limit but they need help in understanding what the speed limit is for any particular road. These systems will help them do that,\" says Matthew Avery of Thatcham Research, an organisation that carries out testing on behalf of the insurance industry. In other words it's meant to be a driver aid rather than an excuse to put Big Brother behind the wheel. Nevertheless, according to the European Transport Safety Council, with mass adoption it could have major safety benefits, potentially cutting collisions by 30% and deaths on the road by 20%. How it works To regulate speed the car needs to know what the limit is in a given area, Currently this can be done in two ways: Firstly, it is possible to use GPS satellite navigation technology to work out exactly where the car is and where it is heading, and compare that to a mapping database on which the different speed limits are recorded. The advantage of a system like this is that not only does it know what the limit is on the stretch of road you're actually using, it can warn you of upcoming limits as well. But it is only as good as the database it relies on. If the information provided is out of date or incomplete - a temporary speed limit may be in place during road works, for example - it cannot keep the driver properly informed. The alternative is to use a camera and software that can \"read\" the speed limit signs themselves. This allows the onboard computer to respond to variable limits and short-term speed restrictions. But it is essentially a reactive mechanism and cannot warn the driver of what lies further ahead. The most logical solution would be to have a combination of both systems. That might sound like a recipe for high costs but according to Roland Schaefer, a safety expert at Ford of Europe, many cars are already equipped with the hardware they need. \"If you already have GPS navigation, if you already have a camera on the car, then all you need is software. Quite complicated but still just software,\" he says. Prof Oliver Carsten of Leeds University's Institute for Transport Studies agrees. An expert on transport safety, he was involved in a major six-year study into ISA that was funded by the UK government. \"Initially we estimated the probable costs at about £2,000 per vehicle,\" he says. \"But now the extra costs are negligible because if you already have things like lane departure warnings fitted you already have a camera on your car.\" Imperfect solution? But while the technology may be affordable right now it is far from perfect. One of the cars we drove, for example, became confused when it passed two signs giving different speed limits and failed to respond to either. \"If you have conflicting information, for example your GPS map tells you one thing and your camera tells you another, which do you go with? It's not always possible to be wholly accurate,\" says Ford's Roland Schaefer. One possible solution is \"vehicle-to-infrastructure communication\", he thinks, where speed limit signs, traffic lights and other street furniture would be able to transmit signals directly to the car via a 5G connection, for example. More Technology of Business But for such a system to work, it needs to be standardised so that all manufacturers use the same type of technology - and someone has to install and pay for it. That, Mr Schaefer says, is a problem for governments and policymakers. In the meantime compulsory intelligent speed assistance is on its way. But it comes with an important caveat: the driver will be able to override the system at all times. There are good reasons for this. \"One issue is acceptance,\" says Prof Carsten. \"We don't want to be turning off public support. The other issue is unreliability - what happens if the car accidentally picks up a limit that's much too low, on a fast road? It could be a serious safety issue.\" Roland Schaefer agrees. \"We bring in new technology if we think it can help our customers,\" he says. \"We don't want to overrule the driver. He must always have the last word\".",

Peter Connelly, who was 17 months old, died in 2007 after months of abuse. Former Children's Minister Tim Loughton said the payout \"stinks\". The boy had more than 50 injuries, despite being on the at-risk register and receiving 60 visits from social workers, police and health professionals over eight months. Three people were jailed in 2009, including his mother. The Court of Appeal concluded Ms Shoesmith had been \"unfairly scapegoated\" and her removal from office in December 2008 by the then Children's Secretary Ed Balls had been \"intrinsically unfair and unlawful\". Confidentiality Now Haringey Council has reached an agreement over compensation with Ms Shoesmith. One government source has told BBC Newsnight that the cost to Haringey Council could be as high as £600,000, although that figure reflects the total payment and Ms Shoesmith is expected to receive a lower sum. The exact figure may not emerge as there are confidentiality clauses preventing its disclosure but it will be significantly short of the £1m figure it had been reported she was seeking. But it would appear the package is more than the minimum suggested by senior judge Lord Neuberger in a 2011 ruling in the Court of Appeal. He suggested she was entitled to a minimum of three months' salary plus pensions contributions. Three months' salary would have been £33,000. A spokesman for Haringey Council said: \"Following the decision of the Court of Appeal in favour of Ms Shoesmith, and the court's direction that the parties seek to resolve the issue of compensation, the London Borough of Haringey and Ms Shoesmith have reached a settlement in this case. \"The terms of the settlement are confidential. We are unable to comment further on this matter.\" Mr Loughton told BBC Radio 4's Today programme the payout became \"inevitable\" after the Court of Appeal ruled that Mr Balls \"had made a complete botched job of her dismissal\". But he added: \"This is going to leave a really bad taste in taxpayers' mouths that a not insubstantial amount of public money is being used to pay off somebody who presided over a dysfunctional department in Haringey [where] a 17-month-old boy died in horrific circumstances. \"We are effectively rewarding failure and when you are appointed a director of children's services... the buck has to stop somewhere and somebody has to take responsibility, and you don't expect that person... to get a large cheque on the back of it as well.\" 'Gove furious' Lord Neuberger had suggested the Department for Education should contribute to any payout for Ms Shoesmith by her employer Haringey Council. His judgement said: \"It would be entirely appropriate for Haringey to seek a voluntary contribution from the secretary of state whose unlawful directions gave rise to the problems.\" It is understood that the department will meet a proportion of the payout, the details of which were agreed by Haringey Council in the past few days, but an exact figure has yet to be agreed. One source told Newsnight that Education Secretary Michael Gove was \"furious\" about the clause, believing it to be \"indefensible\". Lawyers representing Haringey Council and Ms Shoesmith had been in lengthy discussions regarding a payout since the May 2011 ruling. Ms Shoesmith had been due to return to court later this week, seeking a declaration that she remained employed by Haringey Council. That action has now been dropped and the settlement reached between the two parties is understood to be a final one. Peter Connelly's mother, Tracey Connelly, her boyfriend, Steven Barker, and his brother, Jason Owen, were jailed in May 2009 for causing or allowing the child's death.

At more than £50,000 a dram, you might expect it to taste spectacular. We tracked down one of the few people in the world to have tried the whisky to give us his verdict. David Robertson tasted it a number of times between 1994 and 2000 when he was distillery manager and then master distiller at The Macallan. Mr Robertson, who is now a co-director of whisky experts Rare Whisky 101 (RW101), recalls: \"My boss and I were lucky enough to have a few samples in the nosing room that we had to ensure were 'ok'. \"From memory it was an incredibly rich, intense spirit - full of dried fruits, of prunes and dates and tons of incredible spicy notes of cloves, ginger and cinnamon. \"I also recall zesty orange marmalade, hints of peat and smoke, finished with a delicious drying oak tannin from the sherry cask, and waxy, linseed oil and leather notes.\" And his overall verdict? \"It's a great whisky - but I've had better. The Macallan 1979 Gran Reserva, for example, was truly a stunning dram. There are other bottles from other distillers that are at least as good.\" Facts about cask number 263 The Spanish oak sherry cask was distilled in 1926 and bottled in 1986. Only 40 bottles were produced. Macallan commissioned pop artists Peter Blake and Valerio Adami to design labels for a limited edition of 24 bottles - 12 Adami and 12 Blake. One bottle was hand-painted by Irish artist Michael Dillon. The rest of the bottles form part of The Macallan Fine and Rare Collection, which includes the Macallan 1926. Experts believe at least one of the bottles has been consumed. The new owner of the Macallan 1926, who has not been identified, may never get round to tasting this particular bottle. RW101 co-director Andy Simpson says purchasers of rare whisky fall into three categories - the drinker, the investor and the collector. Mr Simpson thinks it unlikely that the bottle was bought to be consumed, given its value. Nor does he think an investor is behind the purchase. He explains: \"The investor is looking to leverage value in a bottle by buying low and selling high, which is clearly not the case here. \"In my opinion - and I could be wrong - this bottle was bought by a collector who simply didn't care about the price because they needed it to complete a collection.\"",

They can also hold government ministers to account over current issues, scrutinise and vote on legislation and take part in debates when they gather in the chamber. Most candidates stand as independents, but there are registered political parties on the Isle of Man. Thirteen woman are seeking election this year compared to just seven in 2011 - only two were elected. Two candidates from each of the island's 12 constituencies will be elected as Members of the House of Keys (MHKs) for a term of five years. The Isle of Man is almost entirely self-governing, and the 24 successful representatives will control virtually every aspect of public life from law and order to health provision. MHKs in numbers In 2011, the Liberal Vannin party gained three seats with 21 MHKs electing to stand independently. There is also a Manx Labour Party, who through David Cretney, retained one seat in 2011. With no structured opposition, every issue is debated on its own merits and by consensus. There is no whip system in place - the council of ministers and government departments operate under a system of collective responsibility. At the last general election, Tim Crookall won the only seat in Peel with just 646 votes whilst Juan Watterson received the highest number of votes (3,080) - to gain one of Rushen's three seats. This year's election will see an end to a system in which some Manx residents get three votes and others get just one. Following an overhaul of the Isle of Man's electoral boundaries, each of 12 island areas will be represented by two political members with those elected sworn in on 27 September. A speaker will be elected on the same day. The government said the reform was needed to achieve \"equality in political representation\". A shake-up is guaranteed following announcements by six of those elected in 2011 that they will retire from politics in September. They include Chief Minister Allan Bell (Ramsey), Treasury minister Eddie Teare (Ayre), Environment, Food and Agriculture minister Richard Ronan (Castletown) and Policy and Reform minister John Shimmin (Douglas West). The founder of the Liberal Vannin party Peter Karran (Onchan) and his fellow Onchan representative Zac Hall will also stand down. There are three options:",

She told the police he had a number of distinctive cuts and a mark on the back of his left hand. The search comes as campaigners in Derby prepare to hold an online vigil for Sarah Everard and other women. The Derby attack happened as the girl passed Allen Street Recreation Ground in Alvaston at about 16:10 GMT on Tuesday 23 February. The man was described as having a long horizontal cut just below his little finger, a cut around the top of his index finger and a mark on the back of his hand a little below his index finger. Derbyshire Police said there had been extra patrols in the area since it happened. The online vigil, called Reclaim Derby Streets, is being held between 18:00 and 19:00 GMT. It has been organised by several women's campaign groups in Derby, including Women's Day Derby and Derby End Violence Against Women Coalition. Organisers said it was for Sarah Everard and \"all who have been taken, go missing, endure harassment, feel unsafe, or face the fear of misogynist violence\". Ms Everard, 33, disappeared when walking home from Clapham to Brixton in south London last week. Her body was found in an area of woodland in Ashford, Kent. A Metropolitan Police officer, Wayne Couzens, has been charged with the kidnap and murder of Sarah Everard and appeared in court. Reclaim Derby Streets has invited people to use the event to share their experiences, photos of them with a solidarity sign or candle, and share ideas to create change.

            "input": "By Jamie McIvorBBC Scotland education correspondent SQA chief executive Fiona Robertson was facing scrutiny from MSPs on Holyrood's education committee. She denied that the previous record of a school should put some candidates at an advantage or a disadvantage. And she said there was no presumption that the estimated grades provided by teachers would be changed. However, she insisted safeguards were needed to ensure the integrity of the system. Ms Robertson also stressed that grades would be based on \"an overall judgement on all activity throughout the year\" rather than prelim results or single projects. This year's exams were cancelled for the first time in history after the country's schools were closed due to the coronavirus pandemic. The exams had been due to begin this week for 138,000 students in Scotland. Because of social distancing rules, the education committee session took place online. Ms Robertson told MSPs that results would be based on estimated grades that relied on the professional judgement of teachers and lecturers. She said that after the 29 May deadline for results, they would be moderated to ensure that \"an A in one school is the same as an A in another and so on\". Results are due to be issued on 4 August, after which a free appeals service will be available. After it was pointed out that some students have poor home environments for learning or may be disadvantaged technically or motivationally, the SQA's Robert Quinn said it would be the \"quality of the work\" and consistency of performance that would be reviewed, \"not so much the quantity\". Mr Quinn said a guide for estimating results had been updated, and an online academy launched, to help teachers and lecturers make good decisions. He said: \"We are very clear that no pupil should be disadvantaged if they are unable to complete work after their centres were closed,\" he said. Head examiner Ms Robertson said it would be a major challenge to ensure that grades would have the same value as previous years, but said: \"It is really important that the class of 2020 will get qualifications that will stand the test of time. I believe we can do that.\" Ranking 'abhorrant and repulsive' Gail Ross MSP told the committee that a focus group of teachers had expressed concern about ranking students against their classmates. She said the group had described the system of ranking as \"abhorrent, repulsive and goes against the values of teaching\" as it pits \"pupil against pupil\". Ms Robertson said her own feedback from teachers had been more positive. \"For teachers involved for a number of years, ranking was a feature of the system previously,\" she said. \"It's not new for the Scottish system and was part of the appeals process a number of years ago.\" She said ranking was reintroduced to help teachers assess grades more accurately. Last week, full details were made available of the way the emergency arrangements will operate. It is still impossible to say when schools will reopen but it is expected that social distancing measures will still be in force by then. This could mean some students will not be in school full time. The longer closures and restrictions continue, the greater the risk that less time will be available to teach entire courses. The SSTA union has already called for next year's exams to also be cancelled. However, such a decision would not be in the gift of the SQA and would need to be made by the Scottish government. The EIS union says S4 students should not normally sit exams next year - arguing they could then be presented in S5 at the appropriate level. This could mean, for example, that academically-able students might not take a National 5 exam next year but would still sit a Higher the following year.",

            "input": "Keith Towler said he was increasingly frustrated at the lack of progress in the support services for such children. An independent \"voice\" for children was suggested 14 years ago after an inquiry into abuse in north Wales care homes. The Welsh government denied Mr Towler's claims, saying it was committed to empowering children to speak out. Latest figures show there are nearly 6,000 children in care in Wales. And every one should have access to an advocate, someone who offers them one-to-one support and can represent their views. But Mr Towler said the reality was that services were patchy and inconsistent across Wales, with an \"apparent lack of necessary drive and determination\" from ministers. He has spoken to 384 young people in care for his latest report and found more than half of them did not know who their advocate was. 'Better protect' \"I can't deny that there has been some progress but it has been patchy and it has been slow,\" he said. \"There have been too many excuses for why change has not happened more quickly and, in the meantime, the situation for children and young people remains much the same.\" Mr Towler said recent allegations about historical child abuse shows the need to get advocacy services right. \"Advocacy enables us to create a climate where we listen to children and young people, a culture where we can better protect our children. In short, advocacy safeguards children and young people,\" he said. Mr Towler has called for a nationally commissioned model to bring consistency across Wales. The Welsh government said it has improved the system. \"We do not agree with the conclusions reached by the Children's Commissioner for Wales,\" said a spokesperson. \"We remain absolutely committed to keeping children free from abuse and to empower them and others to raise concerns that ensure perpetrators are identified, investigated and subject to the full weight of the justice system. \"Wales was the first country to appoint a children's commissioner to speak up for children and to provide scrutiny and challenge to everyone with responsibility for safeguarding children.\"",

Police say they have registered 635 rape cases this year. 'Hang rapists' On Tuesday, angry MPs in both houses set aside their regular business to discuss the gruesome rape case and demanded strict punishment for those who carried out the attack. Senior leader of the main opposition Bharatiya Janata Party Sushma Swaraj called for the death penalty for rapists. \"What is the government doing to curb rape cases in the capital?\" she asked. \"The rapists should be hanged, we need tougher laws to stop rapes,\" she said in the Lok Sabha, the lower house of parliament. \"I speak for the house when I ask the government to take the strongest measures to curb such incidents,\" Speaker Meira Kumar said. In the Rajya Sabha, the upper house, MPs also demanded strict action against rapists. \"How is it that these rapists think that they'll get away with it?\" asked an angry Renuka Chowdhury of the Congress party. The leader of the Bahujan Samaj Party, Ms Mayawati, said: \"We need to ensure proper investigation, and strict punishment. It's not enough to just arrest them, but action should be so strict that no one should dare to act in such a manner again.\" Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde vowed to make the city safer for its women. He said a new committee, headed by the home secretary, \"will evaluate what needs to change, based on suggestions made in parliament by the MPs\".

Vince Cable said a strong showing for the Lib Dems would advance the \"wider cause of stopping Brexit\". Campaigning is in its last 48 hours ahead of Thursday's polls. With the campaign drawing to a close, pro and anti-Brexit parties are focused on rallying their supporters and getting out their vote. The Brexit Party The party said 3,000 people attended its closing rally in Olympia in West London. The crowd was addressed by Ann Widdecombe, the former Conservative minister who is standing as a candidate in the South West of England, and the party's chairman Richard Tice. Closing the rally, Mr Farage said the UK's political class could not be trusted and congratulated his supporters on making \"the establishment absolutely terrified\". The Liberal Democrats The Lib Dems held their largest rally of the campaign on the other side of the capital, close to Waterloo station. Activists heard from, among others, former leader Tim Farron and the party's education spokeswoman Layla Moran. Vince Cable urged supporters to campaign \"until the last vote is cast\", something he said his party was famous for. Change UK Change UK brought its debut political campaign to an end with a rally in Manchester. Former Labour MPs Chuka Umunna and Chris Leslie addressed supporters, as did several of the party's candidates in the North West region. Former Conservative MP Anna Soubry urged supporters to \"get out there and speak to all of those people who believe our great country has made a terrible mistake\" over Brexit.

He told the leaders that the US did not \"want anybody interfering in their country\", and asked them to protect US troops in Iraq. The visit came days after the US deployed an aircraft carrier, USS Abraham Lincoln, to the region. Officials said the deployment was in response to threats to US forces and its allies from Iran. On Tuesday it was revealed the US was sending B-52 bombers. The US has given little information about the exact nature of the reported threat, which Iran has dismissed as nonsense. John Bolton, the US national security adviser, said only that the US was acting \"in response to a number of troubling and escalatory indications and warnings\" on announcing the deployment of the USS Abraham Lincoln on Sunday. Mr Pompeo is also due to visit London on Wednesday, where he is scheduled to meet Prime Minister Theresa May and British Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt. Why was Mike Pompeo in Iraq? While in Baghdad, the US secretary of state met the Iraqi Prime Minister Adil Abdul-Mahdi and President Barham Salih, and explained the US's security concerns to them. He also asked them to protect US troops and citizens in the country. Mr Pompeo later said that the leaders \"provided assurances that they understood that was their responsibility\". \"We wanted them to know about the increased threat stream that we had seen, to give them a little bit more background so that they would have enough information that they could ensure that they were doing all that they could to provide protection for our team,\" he said. \"They understood, too, it's important for their country. We don't want anybody interfering in their country, certainly not by attacking another nation inside of Iraq, and there was complete agreement.\" Speaking to reporters after the meeting, he also directly linked the visit to the recent escalation with Iran, which neighbours Iraq. Mr Pompeo said that he wanted to \"speak with the leadership there [in Iraq], to assure them that we stood ready to continue to ensure that Iraq is a sovereign, independent nation\". He also said that he wanted to help them become less dependent on energy deals with Iran. Why is the US sending bombers to the region? Acting Pentagon spokesman Charles Summers said in a statement that the US did \"not seek war with the Iranian regime, but we will defend US personnel, our allies and our interests in the region\". \"The deployment of the USS Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group and a bomber task force are considered a prudent step in response to indications of heightened Iranian readiness to conduct offensive operations against US forces and our interests,\" he added. Officials first announced that the aircraft carrier was being sent to the Gulf on Sunday. Mr Bolton said at the time that it was to send \"a clear and unmistakable message to the Iranian regime that any attack on United States interest or on those of our allies will be met with unrelenting force\". What has Iran said? In response, Iran's Foreign Minister Javad Zarif tweeted that \"the #B_Team is at it again\". \"From announcements of naval movements (that actually occurred last month) to dire warnings about so-called 'Iranian threats',\" he added. \"If US and clients don't feel safe, it's because they're despised by the people of the region - blaming Iran won't reverse that.\" Iran's state-run broadcaster Press TV also dismissed the deployment as \"a 'regularly scheduled' one by the US Navy, and Bolton has just tried to talk it up\". Why is there so much hostility between Iran and the US? Tensions between the US and Iran can be traced back to Iran's Islamic Revolution in 1979, which overthrew the pro-Western Shah and established a radical anti-US regime in its place. But relations have been particularly fraught between the two nations since President Trump took office in 2017. This most recent escalation comes on the eve of the anniversary of Mr Trump unilaterally withdrawing from a landmark nuclear deal the US and other nations had agreed with Iran in 2015. Under the accord, Iran had agreed to limit its sensitive nuclear activities and allow in international inspectors in return for relief from sanctions - sanctions that have since been reinstated. And last month, the White House said it would end exemptions from sanctions for five countries - China, India, Japan, South Korea and Turkey - that were still buying Iranian oil. At the same time the US also blacklisted Iran's elite Revolutionary Guard Corps, designating it as a foreign terrorist group. The Trump administration hopes to compel Iran to negotiate a \"new deal\" that would cover not only its nuclear activities, but also its ballistic missile programme and what officials call its \"malign behaviour\" across the Middle East. The sanctions have led to a sharp downturn in Iran's economy, pushing the value of its currency to record lows, driving away foreign investors, and triggering protests. Iran has repeatedly threatened to retaliate to the US measures by blocking the Strait of Hormuz - though which about a fifth of all oil consumed globally pass.",

            "input": "By Lucy Rodgers and Dominic BaileyBBC News But what actually happened to the wall? How much of it has been built? And how effective has it been? 1. How much 'new wall' Trump has built is up for debate Any calculation of the miles of new wall constructed by Mr Trump and his administration depends very much on the definition of the words \"new\" and \"wall\". Before he took office, there were 654 miles (just over 1,000km) of barrier along the southern border - made up of 354 miles of barricades to stop pedestrians and 300 miles of anti-vehicle fencing. Now, according to US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) in its 6 October status report, the southern border has 669 miles of \"primary barrier\" - the first structure people heading from Mexico to the US will encounter - and 65 miles of \"secondary barrier\" - which usually runs behind the primary structure as a further obstacle. This means that in areas where no barricades existed before, they have built 15 miles of new, primary barrier or \"border wall system\", as it is called by CBP. ​​About a further 350 miles of barrier has been built, according to CBP, made up of replacement structures and some new secondary barrier. More is planned, too, with 378 miles of new and replacement barrier either under construction or in the \"pre-construction phase\". Less than half of this will be in locations where no barriers currently exist, according to CBP. However, Mr Trump himself doesn't make a distinction between these new stretches of barrier and replacement structures, regarding both as new wall. This is because, he says, replacements involve \"complete demolition and rebuilding of old and worthless barriers\". And he regards the progress made so far as a success. \"My administration has done more than any administration in history to secure our southern border,\" Mr Trump said in June during a visit to the wall. But what Mr Trump has actually built is far from what he promised at the start of his 2016 election campaign, when he pledged to build a concrete wall along the border's entire 2,000-mile length. He later clarified that it would cover only half of that. And by the time of his State of the Union address in February this year, his pledge had been reduced to \"substantially more than 500 miles\" by January 2021. Mr Trump is still short of that target - even if you include all the new, replacement and secondary barriers erected so far. Yet how much more will be built is uncertain, with Democratic rival presidential candidate Joe Biden saying that, while he would not tear down the barrier Mr Trump has built, he would not expand it further. 2. Most of the wall isn't 'wall' at all As well as scaling back his ambitions for the length of the border barrier, Mr Trump has also changed his view of what constitutes a wall. Throughout his 2016 election campaign, when he described it, he talked about concrete. But once elected, he began referring to a barrier made of steel, which would enable border agents to see through it. And what has been built so far is mostly such steel fencing. Specifically, much of the current wave of construction is 18-30ft (5.4-9m) reinforced bollard fencing, according to a report by the non-partisan Congressional Research Service. \"It poses a formidable barrier, but it is not the high, thick masonry structure that most dictionaries term a 'wall',\" the report states. However, the report adds that while the new barriers may not be made of concrete and in many cases replace existing structures, they do pose \"a new obstacle that changes the calculus of those attempting to cross the border between ports of entry\". Having said that, although Mr Trump's barriers are not themselves made of concrete, they have been constructed using a significant amount of it, according to CBP. Some 774,000 cubic yards (592,000 cubic metres) of concrete have been used in construction so far, alongside 539,000 tonnes of steel. 3. How it's being paid for remains controversial Despite Mr Trump's pledge on the campaign trail in 2016 to get Mexico to pay for the wall, it is the US government that has spent billions of dollars to expand and reconstruct it. Just over $5bn (£3.9bn) in funding has come via traditional means through the CBP, but Mr Trump has also ordered almost $10bn in Department of Defense (DoD) funding to be diverted - a move that has sparked legal action. Back in 2019, after his request for a further $5.7bn for the wall was rejected and Congress allotted only $1.4bn, Mr Trump declared border control a national emergency and used powers under the National Emergencies Act to move cash from DoD budgets. Some $6.3bn of counter-drugs funding and £3.6bn of military construction funding has so far been diverted to the wall project, according to the CBP. But Mr Trump's decision to bypass Congress in this way has triggered a number of legal challenges - one from a number of environmental groups, represented by the American Civil Liberties Union, along with the states of California and New Mexico. Two lower US courts have ruled in favour of these groups, concluding that the diversion of an amount of $2.5bn from DoD to construct barriers in California, New Mexico and Arizona was unlawful. However, the Supreme Court - the highest federal court in the US - has allowed barrier construction using the funds to continue pending the appeals process. It will hear a challenge by President Trump's administration against the lower courts' decision next year. Meanwhile, Democrats in the House of Representatives have also launched separate legal action. 4. Illegal crossings appear to have fallen this year Mr Trump made reducing illegal immigration a top priority of his administration and it has been a key part of his re-election campaign. The latest figures suggest the number of migrants apprehended at the southern border this year have fallen after doubling between 2018 and 2019. In particular, the number of children and those travelling in family groups apprehended at the border has dropped significantly in the 12 months to October, compared with the previous year. How much this fall in numbers is down to the new barriers is unclear, though, and immigration experts say the drop is likely to be the result of the deterrent effect of a whole raft of anti-immigration measures introduced by Mr Trump's administration rather than the barrier alone. Those fleeing violence or persecution to the US have found asylum rules tightened, been forced to wait in camps for long periods as their cases are determined and come up against new limits on the number of refugees accepted into the country. The administration has also adopted emergency procedures during the coronavirus pandemic that allow agents to expel those crossing the border back to Mexico, bypassing normal immigration and asylum proceedings. \"Any effect that the physical wall has had in reducing unauthorised migration has paled in comparison to the administration's bureaucratic wall,\" says Sarah Pierce, US immigration policy analyst at the independent Migration Policy Institute. A series of \"interlocking policies\" have \"significantly reduced unauthorised arrivals\", she told the BBC. But although figures for detentions at the border are likely to have dropped for the year as a whole compared with 2019, monthly figures have been rising since the spring and reached a 13-month high in September. This is driven partly by single adults from Mexico who have been trying to enter the US repeatedly, according to CBP figures. Data shows the \"recidivism rate\" - the number of repeat crossers - has risen by 37% since the end of March. Mark Morgan, CBP's acting commissioner, has suggested worsening economic conditions due to the coronavirus pandemic in Mexico and further afield could be to blame. 5. A key migrant camp is emptying Thousands who have made the journey to the southern US border have found refuge in temporary border communities - often in shanty towns with little infrastructure or resources and vulnerable to pressure from violent organised-crime gangs. According to Human Rights Watch, these migrants are under threat from criminal organisations which kidnap them on the assumption that they have relatives in the US who could be extorted for money. In the town of Matamoros, across the border from Brownsville, Texas, hundreds of people set up one such camp in 2018 near the entry point, in the scrubland on the banks of the Rio Grande. By the start of this year, the camp had around 3,500 people living in tents - men, women, and children from across Central and South America and beyond. Another 10,000 asylum seekers are thought to be living elsewhere in the city. Charities such as the World Food Kitchen, the Dignity Village collective and Global Response Management (GRM) provide food, tents, clothing and medical care to those living in the camp, where around 50% of residents are under the age of 15. But Andrea Leiner, director of strategic planning for GRM, says coronavirus and July's Hurricane Hanna have had dire consequences. Coronavirus restrictions have meant the border has been closed for all but essential travel and immigration hearings have been postponed. Hurricane Hanna not only brought floods to the camp but also caused an infestation of rats, snakes and mosquitoes, forcing many residents to flee. Ms Leiner says the repeated blows of plague, famine, and hurricane, on top of the legal restrictions, have drained people of hope. \"These people have nowhere to go. They can't go home - they will be killed if they go home - and they can't get into the US, so they are stuck in this purgatory right now and we don't see that ending any time soon,\" she says. 6. The barrier is unlikely to stop most kinds of drugs coming into the US Mr Trump has claimed in the past that 90% of heroin in the US comes across the southern border and that a wall would help the fight against drugs. However strengthening and extending the border barrier is unlikely to do much to reduce illegal drugs - such as heroin, cocaine and methamphetamine - because most come through established border checkpoints, known as ports of entry. While the majority of the heroin in the US does come from Mexico, the Drug Enforcement Administration says most of it is hidden in privately owned vehicles or transporter lorries, mixed with other goods, and smuggled through legal entry points. CBP figures for drugs - excluding marijuana - seized on the southern border also show most come through ports of entry, although a report by the Congressional Research Service does state that border barriers can serve to push people to cross in places where they are more likely to be \"detected, intercepted, and detained\". Rodney Scott, chief of the US Border Patrol, agrees - and gives the example of San Diego, where he says cartel lorries used to drive across the border \"three or four at a time on an almost daily basis, with high-speed pursuits throughout town\". \"Those stopped immediately with the border wall system, \" he says. \"It does not mean cartels will stop smuggling drugs - now we're going to deal with tunnels and other aspects - but it pushed that threat, the daily life-and-death threat for kids waiting for a school bus near the border, out of those areas.\" Smugglers also appear increasingly to be using boats to try to land drugs on the beaches of southern California - with the numbers intercepted by CBP's air and marine operations jumping 82% last year. Marijuana is the most trafficked drug, with more than 227 tonnes seized on the southern border this year. It is also the drug most likely to be smuggled in areas away from the border checkpoints. Traffickers regularly use underground tunnels to smuggle tonnes of marijuana, mainly in the California and Arizona stretches of the border. Design by Zoe Bartholomew and Gerry Fletcher",

Read more archaeology stories on our Pinterest board ScottishPower Renewables, the energy firm behind the scheme, said project leaders were unable to recruit enough archaeologists from the UK and had to turn to Portugal to get more specialists. Archaeologists have uncovered what is thought to be a bread oven, a corn drier and a broken millstone. They think the buildings were used for seasonal work, and if the broken millstone is medieval they \"can be sure\" the site was occupied by the miller. Experts have also unearthed later activity with an 18th Century quarry at the site. Richard Newman, from Wardell Armstrong Archaeology, said the finds will be analysed further and detailed reports will be produced. \"It is safe to say we already know a lot more about Suffolk's history today than we did a year ago,\" he added. Up to 230 specialists have worked on the site each week and 20 metal detectorists have been invited to work on the project. Jo Young, from Scottish Renewables, said: \"This wind farm is about the future, new technology and carbon-free living but we have to look at the past. \"That's the beauty of it, looking into the future and into the history of Suffolk.\" Cabling will be laid once the excavation work is complete.

And the drama itself, which tells the story of a young boy put on trial for the murder of his father, won the prize for best TV movie or miniseries. Speaking in his school lunch hour on Tuesday, Billy said he was \"honoured and very happy\". The ceremony was conducted virtually, hosted by veteran US TV, film and stage actor Richard Kind, known for Mad About You and Hereafter. \"Hello and welcome to the first, and hopefully the last virtual International Emmy Awards!\" Kind said, raising a glass of champagne to viewers. The other big winners on the night were Glenda Jackson, who won best actress for Elizabeth Is Missing, based on Emma Healey's best-selling novel. It tells the story of an elderly woman suffering from dementia while struggling to solve a murder mystery - a role which previously earned Jackson a Bafta. Netflix won best drama series for its Indian programme Delhi Crime, while Brazilian show Nobody's Looking took the best comedy award. Billy was watching the ceremony at home with his family and his win came as a big shock, he told BBC News from his stage school Sylvia Young. \"They were playing the clips and I was watching and saying, 'They've won', and was getting ready to clap and then they said 'Billy Barratt' and I was so confused. My whole family was like, 'Oh, my god', so it's very exciting. \"And it's kind of crazy (to be the youngest winner), I don't know what to think about it. \"But my teachers and the other students are all really supportive and really nice about it and happy for me.\" Responsible Child was a one-off BBC drama that was shown in December last year. It followed 12-year-old Ray who, along with his 23-year-old older brother Nathan, was arrested for murdering their abusive stepfather. Both are tried as adults, as the minimum age of criminal responsibility in England and Wales is 10 and the series explores the issues surrounding the law. Billy played the central role of Ray and his brother Nathan was played by James Tarpey. It was a tough part for a 12-year-old but Billy said he had plenty of help. \"I had a lot of people around me like the director, Kudos [the production company], the BBC, all my cast mates, they were all really supportive and in between takes it was all fun and jokes, trying to keep things as light as possible. \"We had an acting coach and she was really good and she told us how to get in and out of character and leave Ray onset and get back to our lives when we went home.\" Responsible Child was loosely based on the real life case of 14-year-old Jerome Ellis and his older brother Joshua, 23. Both said they killed their stepfather because he was abusive and had previously threatened to kill Joshua, who struggled with depression. It also featured Owen McDonnell (Killing Eve), Shaun Dingwall (Noughts and Crosses, Top Boy), Debbie Honeywood (Sorry We Missed You, Vera) and Angela Wynter (EastEnders, Les Miserables). Billy said making the drama was particularly \"challenging\" at times, especially one of the last scenes. \"Ray is having a freak out and noticing what he's done and that particular scene was very powerful and I had to take a minute afterwards and everyone sat down and had a think about it and readjusted. \"It was all very challenging and it is a true story so if I got it wrong I would have offended quite a lot of people. That was quite hard.\" Billy has also starred in The White Princess and Blinded By The Light. Two days of Billy's week is taken up with learning acting, dancing and singing whilst the other three are for academic work. Once he's finished at Sylvia Young, Billy says he hopes to go the London Screen Academy, which teaches everything about film-making, including directing, lighting, producing and costume design. And his dream is to star in an action film and also a comedy. The 2020 International Emmy Awards winners: Follow us on Facebook or on Twitter @BBCNewsEnts.

The companies were accused of promoting nicotine-containing e-cigarettes and featuring models who appeared to be under 25, which is banned under the advertising code. In its response, British American Tobacco said its online communications \"aimed to impart factual information regarding products but stopped short of direct or indirect promotion\". The Vype Instagram account in question did not allow under-18s and clearly stated its Vype e-cigarettes contained nicotine, it said. And it \"used these platforms to interact with users when they ask questions or request information and to communicate factual information about Vype that adults vapers and smokers\" wanted. But Ash chief executive Deborah Arnott said: \"The law has always been clear that any advertising of e-cigarettes online is not permitted. \"BAT's defence that all they were doing was providing 'information' on social media not promoting their products has been blown out of the water. \"The ASA ruling leaves no doubt that BAT's social media tactics for Vype were both irresponsible and unlawful and must never be repeated.\" The ASA ruled the posts must not appear again in their current form. It told all four companies posts promoting nicotine-containing e-cigarettes \"should not be made from Instagram in future\" unless steps were taken to make sure they could not be viewed by under-18s and the people featured must be 25 or older. Global Vaping Group accepted its post had been \"beyond purely being factual\" and admitted it was unable to verify the age of a woman shown vaping. Attitude Vapes did not respond to the ASA's inquiries and was told it must do so \"in future\". Ama Vape said it had removed its post and reviewed its other social-media content.

The 30-member cabinet has four women, including the interior minister - a first for Lebanon. The most pressing challenge for the cabinet is to revive Lebanon's economic fortunes and cut the national debt, which stands at about 150% of GDP. Mr Hariri's reforms are expected to unlock nearly $11bn (£8bn) in pledged international aid and loans. Who are the key figures in cabinet? Lebanon is governed by a complex power-sharing system aimed at representing all of its religious and political communities. Mr Hariri's new government will be composed of most of the country's rival factions, including the Iran-backed Shia movement Hezbollah which - with its allies - made gains in parliamentary elections last May. One of the main sticking points until now has been how Hezbollah's Sunni allies, who oppose the prime minister, would be represented in government. They were eventually awarded one position in cabinet, while Hezbollah took two seats. Jamil Jabak was chosen as health minister by Hezbollah, although he is not a member of it. Other key members of the new cabinet are Ali Hassan Khalil and Gebran Bassil, who both remain as finance and foreign ministers respectively. Four women entered the government. Among them is Rhea al-Hasan, the country's new interior minister. Who is Mr Hariri? Despite being 48 years old, Mr Hariri is seen as a veteran in Lebanese politics. In 2017, he caused a significant political crisis when he announced his resignation on a routine trip to Saudi Arabia in a televised address, saying he feared an assassination attempt. He suspended his own resignation two weeks later after speaking to President Michel Aoun back in Lebanon. He denied speculation that Saudi Arabia had forced him to leave as part of a regional power struggle with Iran, and instead accused coalition partner Hezbollah and Iran of spreading strife in the region. Mr Hariri's father Rafik al-Hariri was killed by a bomb in 2005. Four men believed to be linked to Hezbollah are being tried in absentia at a UN-backed tribunal in connection with the attack, though the group denies any involvement. The announcement of the new government ends months of uncertainty following elections more than eight months ago. Lebanon has long had a power-sharing political system between the different religious denominations. The number of seats in parliament is split between Christians and Muslims, and the president, prime minister, and speaker of the parliament must each come from a specific religious background.",

He said he wanted to \"draw a line\" under last Wednesday's incident. The Police Federation and Labour both want an inquiry, while some Lib Dems were unimpressed by the statement. Mr Mitchell is reported to have sworn at an officer during the incident on Wednesday evening - when police directed him away from the main gate to a smaller pedestrian gate - and said \"learn your place\" and \"you don't run this government\". 'Discourteous' In his first statement to reporters about the incident, on Monday morning, Mr Mitchell said that the incident had come at the end of a \"long and extremely frustrating day\". He added: \"I didn't show them the amount of respect I should have done.\" He said the police officer involved had accepted his apology. When asked whether he had used the word \"plebs\", as is alleged in the Sun newspaper, Mr Mitchell did not answer directly, saying only that he had not used the words that have been reported. The newspaper says it has seen the official police report of the incident, which does include the word. Chair of the Metropolitan Police Federation John Tully told the BBC that Mr Mitchell's apology was not sufficient and an inquiry was needed to resolve the issue. \"He is calling the officer's integrity into question and that isn't acceptable from my point of view. \"I think the Downing Street officials should launch an inquiry as soon as possible to get to the truth.\" The issue dominated the prime minister's official spokesman's lobby briefing on Monday, especially the apparently conflicting accounts given by Mr Mitchell and by the police.

            "input": "The presence of amyloid protein may produce a chain reaction which destroys vital insulin-producing cells. Researchers based in Dublin, writing in the journal Nature Immunology, say future drugs could target this process. Amyloid is implicated in many other diseases, most notably Alzheimer's. Type 2 is the most common form of diabetes, normally developing in later adulthood. As much as 5% of the UK population may have it, and the NHS spends an estimated 10% of its budget treating it and dealing with complications. It happens when the body both loses the ability to produce enough insulin to control blood sugar levels, and becomes resistant to the insulin that it does have. Insulin is made in \"beta cells\" in the pancreas, and scientists first noticed \"deposits\" of the amyloid protein in pancreatic tissue of some people with type 2 diabetes some years ago. It was thought that amyloid could be poisoning the cells directly, but the latest research offers an additional explanation. It found that a type of immune cell called a macrophage, whose normal role is to get rid of debris in the cell, reacted abnormally when it ingested amyloid. It triggered activity in other cells nicknamed \"angry macrophages\", which in turn released proteins that cause inflammation. The inflammation then destroys the vital beta cells, and the ability to produce insulin is reduced. Interruption The researchers said that they hoped the finding would \"spur new research\" to target the mechanisms of the disease. Dr Eric Hewitt, a researcher into amyloid-related disease at Leeds University, said the paper was \"interesting\", and could help explain why the presence of amyloid deposits, or the process that laid them down, could be so damaging. He said: \"It suggests we are looking at a very complex disease - we know that amyloid is present in some type 2 diabetics, but not others. \"What we have is a second indirect mechanism which can lead to the destruction of beta cells, and this could be helpful when looking at other diseases which may involve amyloid, such as Alzheimer's. \"It does offer a possible opportunity to interrupt this mechanism at some point in the future and perhaps stop the disease from progressing.\"",

            "input": "By James LandaleDiplomatic correspondent They will be drawn to the UK's capital for the organisation's biennial heads-of-government summit, known by its inelegant acronym, CHOGM. It will be an enormous jamboree, with most of the Commonwealth's 53 leaders expected to attend - the largest number ever - in honour, perhaps, of Her Majesty the Queen, whose last CHOGM this is likely to be now that her travelling days are coming to an end. And with the leaders and their spouses will come the officials and protection officers, the charity workers and think-tankers, the lobbyists and journalists, and all the other hangers-on in this riotous caravan of global diplomacy. But to what end? For what purpose will these many thousands gather for what some officials estimate will be the largest summit ever held in London? Still relevant? For many of the 2.4 billion people who live in the Commonwealth, the organisation plays little role in their lives. They might know it as a post-imperial club, a body that holds global sporting events such as the games in Australia that have been going on over the past two weeks. Or perhaps they have family or personal connections with another Commonwealth country. But even those with a keen awareness of the international organisation might struggle to explain what relevance it had to their daily lives. Yet the Commonwealth includes about a third of the world's people. It forms layer upon layer of intermingling networks of professional, sporting, business and cultural groups. It provides a forum for co-operation between nations, a bastion - at least in theory - of the democratic, rules-based international order, with the English language and legal system forming a core denominator for many countries. And it is an organisation that the Queen values highly and has fought to protect during her long reign. So why is a body that has so much potential so much in the shade? One reason, perhaps, is that it has always been in search of a role. This is a Commonwealth of nations that was united at first by nothing more than a past membership of the British Empire. Shared experience is one thing but it is rarely a foundation for future co-operation, particularly when that shared experience was distant, at times painful and not of mutual benefit. The Commonwealth has also often been divided between what historically had been seen as the white, Anglocentric nations - \"the ABCs\" as they are known after Australia, Britain and Canada - and the African members, and the many small island countries. And these divisions have at times been deep, not just between wealth and geography but also between culture and values. Let us not forget that 36 of the 53 countries retain legislation that criminalises homosexuality. Trading vision CHOGM this week will undoubtedly be overshadowed by events in Syria. But beneath the diplomacy and ceremony, there will also be some tough questions about what the Commonwealth is for in the 21st Century. And many countries will bring different answers and agendas. Some British politicians look to the Commonwealth as a post-Brexit lifeboat, a multilateral organisation through which they can improve trade links outside the EU. And why not use this shared language, law and regulatory commonality to boost trade? Supporters point to what they call \"the Commonwealth effect\", the idea that trade between members is cheaper and easier. The Commonwealth Secretariat estimates that bilateral trade between members costs about 19% less than global averages. But while the British Empire was initially a trading empire, the Commonwealth is a different beast. And some members might resent being showered with love by a country that has often seemed to ignore the Commonwealth while its geopolitical and economic focus was on Europe. Many Commonwealth countries opposed Brexit. Some fear they will find it harder to access British markets. Others worry they will lose a powerful advocate for their rights around the EU table. After Brexit, the only Commonwealth countries remaining in the EU will be Cyprus and Malta. Indian influence Other countries see the Commonwealth as an international club with huge soft power potential. Take India. For years it has been a restrained member of the Commonwealth, despite being one of its largest economies and containing about half its population. India was one of the eight founder members but it was the only one which did not count the Queen as its head of state. It has always been cautious about engaging fully with the offspring of an empire that rendered its countrymen subject to British rule. But now India appears full of enthusiasm. Narendra Modi will attend CHOGM, the first Indian prime minster to do so for almost a decade. Indian diplomats are suddenly appearing at Commonwealth events and meetings. Officials say this is because India sees the Commonwealth as an organisation through which it can project influence within Asia - this one club that India's great rival, China, cannot join. The UK seems willing to play along with this. British diplomats say that one way the Commonwealth could thrive, and - yes - survive, as a credible international organisation would be to embrace India. To that end, the UK appears ready to contemplate greater decentralisation, with India possibly taking greater responsibility for the Commonwealth's trade co-operation. But is this what the rest of the Commonwealth wants - to swap Anglo-centrism for Delhification? If you are from a developing African country or a small island nation in the Pacific, is this how you see the future of the organisation? Introspection and uncertainty Many of the smaller nations, for example, are looking to the Commonwealth to help them tackle the climate change that threatens them with rising sea levels and extreme weather events. We may be horrified by the growing tides of plastic floating across our oceans but to many island nations this poses an explicit danger to their maritime and tourist economies. The Commonwealth could help in a tangible and practical way to share best practice and form coalitions to protect these members from this environmental threat. Underlying this latest bout of Commonwealth introspection is the largely unspoken uncertainty about what happens when the Queen's reign comes to an end. There is a lack of clarity because it is not automatic that the Queen's heir, the Prince of Wales, will replace Her Majesty at the head of the Commonwealth. The decision is entirely in the gift of the heads of government at the time. This CHOGM will be a forum to discuss - sotto voce - what should happen. The British government appears ready to allow just enough debate to ensure that Prince Charles is established as the de facto heir apparent. But the UK equally does not want this to become a distracting row that could embarrass the Queen - something shadow international development secretary Kate Osamor has made a forlorn hope. She told The House magazine bluntly that the role should not be taken up by Prince Charles but by someone who was \"level-headed, someone people respect\". This matters not just because officials want to ensure a smooth transition, but also because the Queen has been so central to the Commonwealth that her absence could create a vacuum. Her leadership has been part of the glue that has held this organisation together. The risk is that without her, the Commonwealth could come unstuck. Hence the need, once again, for the Commonwealth to change and find a new role for the 21st Century.",

            "input": "By Dr John Swenson-WrightHead, Asia Programme, Chatham House It signalled Japan's capitulation and the end not only of the war in the Pacific, but also of Japan's colonial rule of the Korean peninsula, its influence in South East Asia and its attempt to dominate China and the Asian mainland. With Japan's conservative Prime Minister Shinzo Abe planning to issue an official statement reflecting on the past, this year is a particularly sensitive anniversary. Progressive critics, inside and outside Japan, worry that Mr Abe's statement may downplay past apologies in favour of a \"revisionist\" historical interpretation that will antagonise Japan's neighbours, most notably China and South Korea. How were Hirohito's words received at the time? Hirohito's remarks that day were unprecedented. Pre-recorded on a phonograph and delivered in rarefied, classical Japanese, they shocked a Japanese populace, which was unprepared for the possibility of surrender or defeat and had almost certainly never heard their divine head of state speak in public. The country was still on a war footing. That was despite the near total destruction of Japan's navy by July 1945, a policy of economic strangulation that had imposed massive material hardship on ordinary citizens, the firebombing of major cities, and the atomic devastation of Hiroshima and Nagasaki on 6 and 9 August. The cathartic impact of the emperor's words allowed the public to embrace the once alien concept of defeat. The statement was also a necessary means of forcing consensus on a fractious Japanese political and military elite, some of whose members were determined to fight to the last. Hirohito's acceptance of defeat, which was backed by his senior ministers, almost failed in the face of an abortive coup by young army officers who were trying to stop the imperial broadcast from going ahead. For an emperor mindful of the impact of America's \"new and most cruel bomb\", surrender (even if he chose not to use the term) was a means of avoiding the total destruction of Japan and further civilian casualties, and revealingly, the possible \"total extinction of human civilisation\". What happened next? The end of the war prompted jubilant celebrations in Europe and the US. In Korea it led to a similar outpouring of optimism as Koreans experienced their liberation from 35 years of Japanese colonial rule. Koreans also saw the brief establishment of a progressive Korean People's Republic in the south of the country. However, such optimism was short-lived, as US forces intervened to establish an American-led military government in September 1945, while Soviet forces created their own dependent government in the north of a peninsula increasingly divided along geographical and ideological lines. Ironically, the Americans turned to former Japanese colonial administrators to handle the civilian administration of Korea, a decision that made Koreans deeply sceptical of US intentions, reinforcing the belief (still present to this day) that Korea's interests take second place to those of more powerful states. What were the consequences for Japan and regional rivalries? Japan's defeat had profound and in some ways contradictory consequences for the East Asian region and the wider post-war world. It facilitated a US-led seven-year occupation of Japan that, in its first two years, promoted democratisation and demilitarisation. Japan established a new identity of anti-militarism, aversion to nuclear weapons and a focus on economic development that ultimately produced the high-speed miracle years of the 1960s. More controversially, the continuing occupation, especially from 1948, reflected the onset of the Cold War in East Asia. US policy makers worried about ideological divisions within Japan, the growing ascendancy of Mao's communist forces in mainland China and the Soviet presence in Japan's \"northern territories\" (the Kurile islands occupied by the Russians in the closing days of the war and still held by Moscow to this day). Japan, as America's most important emerging ally in the region, became bound into the strategic and ideological conflict between the communist and Western blocs, but in a manner that, some critics contend, fatally limited its autonomy and policy-making independence. How has strategic balance in the region changed since then? From the vantage point of 2015, the 15 August anniversary is a reminder that Japan under Prime Minister Abe is still confronting difficult strategic challenges that echo those of 70 years ago. These include a Russia that is unwilling to cede territory to Japan, and a still-divided Korean peninsula but one in which North Korea is now a de facto nuclear state and therefore a more threatening power. Compared to 1945, China is a much more powerful actor able, through its more assertive maritime presence, to challenge the territorial possessions of its neighbours in the South China and (in the case of Japan) East China Seas. What is the contemporary significance of Hirohito's comments announcing Japan's surrender? Hirohito characterised Japan's decision to go to war as an attempt to \"ensure Japan's self-preservation and the stabilisation of East Asia\". Controversially, he also pointed out that there was no intention \"to infringe upon the sovereignty of other nations or to embark on territorial aggrandisement\". While past Japanese prime ministers have acknowledged the suffering that Japan caused its neighbours during the Pacific War and expressed their \"remorse\", there are some conservative voices in Japan who identify with the sentiment embodied in Hirohito's August 1945 statement. To them, Japan's past actions were neither aggressive nor illegitimate, and they have been lobbying Mr Abe to reflect this alternative interpretation in his own, contemporary statement. It remains unclear to what extent the prime minister shares these views. What balance will Mr Abe need to strike? Given the historical sensitivities involved, any expression of such conservative views would invite condemnation from China and South Korea, as well as from progressive opinion within Japan, at a time when the Abe administration is seeking to pass new legislation to enhance the strategic flexibility of its self-defence forces. For these reasons, as well as the need to avoid antagonising its US ally, which has called on Japan to avoid inflaming historical tensions, the government is likely to tread carefully. History, it seems, is anything but an academic matter. Mr Abe will need to be agile in pursuing a pragmatic foreign policy agenda while maintaining the support of his more conservative allies at home.

            "input": "By Kevin ConnollyBBC News, Brussels When he set out from the Belgian port of Zeebrugge in his little trawler, he was armed only with a sense of history and a determination to stick up for the rights of his fellow Belgian fishermen. He had even cabled Queen and the Admiralty in London before setting sail to reassure them that he was not a pirate: \"I am a British-minded man,\" he explained, \"And I am coming as a friend.\" Victor wasn't a full-time trawler captain, he was a successful accountant and member of the city council of Bruges, an ancient centre of learning and commerce which once among the richest cities in the world For centuries, Bruges was connected to the North Sea by a deep-water canal, and was home to a substantial fishing fleet which by tradition worked the rich waters off the English coast. Victor was determined to stick up for the Belgian right to carry on fishing in the same seas, although he understood this might provoke powerful emotions in his British friends. \"It's just as if a stranger came into your garden and picked a flower,\" he acknowledged. Victor came up with the idea for his invasion - codenamed Operation Charles II - when he discovered a significant document in the Bruges City Archive. It was a charter, written in the King's name, guaranteeing perpetual access to British fishing grounds for 50 boats from Bruges. After the execution of his father Charles I at the end of the English civil war between Royalists and Parliamentarians, Charles spent part of a period of European exile in Bruges waiting for the restoration of the monarchy. In a BBC television report on Victor Depaepe's invasion of 1963, the correspondent rather sniffily describes this as a period of \"shameless debauchery\". That may have been part of the reason that Charles felt such enthusiasm for Bruges, but it's interesting to note that as early as the 17th Century the economic value of access to fishing grounds was well recognised. The charter is an extraordinary document written on a strong but supple sheet of goat skin in florid Latin. It bears a huge, heavy disc of beribboned wax at the base which tells you it's a personal communication from the King himself. When I touched it - with the permission of the archivist - I found myself reflecting on the extraordinary powers of the monarchy in the 17th Century, and how a single document can make you feel the past is within touching distance. When Victor, obviously a more practical man, touched it, he calculated that a privilege granted in perpetuity in the 1660s must surely still be valid in the 1960s. He set out to prove it. Victor's son Paul Depaepe still lives on the Belgian coast not far from Bruges. He was proud to see that as the Brexit negotiations began to stall over the vexed issue of fishing rights, the Belgian government's thoughts began to turn back to Victor's cross-channel operation. He is proud of his father's adventure, and has collected an impressive archive that tells the story. He has no doubt that the document that Victor unearthed is of lasting importance. As he explains: \"When a king [or queen] makes a law, only another king [or queen] can change it, and so up until now there's been nothing to say that this charter isn't valid any more.\" We can't say for sure what role the charter played in the Brexit negotiations, but we do know the Flemish ministry for fisheries forwarded a copy to the European Commission to make sure that it was factored into any deal. Back in 1963, Victor wasn't just prepared to face the danger of arrest - he positively welcomed it. He was determined to test his theory about the validity of Charles' charter in a British court. That could only happen if he was arrested and charged. His fellow citizens back in Bruges were cheering him on. Fishermen have known for centuries that rights to work in foreign territorial waters are fragile assets which can be rewritten or revoked at the drop of a hat. So Paul says his dad was much admired in the Belgian fishing community. \"In the old port of Zeebrugge, my father was a bit of a hero among the fishing community, because even then they always worried about not being able to fish English waters.\" Those Belgian crews must have been delighted when word reached them that Operation Charles II had gone like clockwork. Victor dropped his nets in British waters off the coast of Sussex and was duly arrested as he'd hoped by a Royal Navy motor torpedo boat. He got his day in court too - appearing before magistrates in Lewes in East Sussex. At about this point you sense that everyone was beginning to realise that this was no ordinary fishing dispute - and that the polite bespectacled accountant from Belgium might be on to something. One British newspaper quoted a British official saying that \"he is keener to be prosecuted than we are to prosecute him\". And that was indeed the case - Victor wanted to settle the legal point about royal charters once and for all. In the finest traditions of stories of adventure on the high seas, I'll ask you to wait for a moment to hear how Victor's invasion turned out. His legal dispute is still well-remembered by the crews of Belgium's modern fishing fleet, whose chronic anxiety about their access to English territorial waters deepened as the Brexit negotiations dragged on. Job Shot works out of the port of Ostende, just a short distance down the coast from Bruges, and takes his boat, the Job Senior, into the rich waters off the coast of Sussex every week. His catch normally includes sole and turbot, brill, red gurnard and plaice. And while these are tough times in the age of Covid-19 (the closure of the restaurant trade has cut wholesale prices in half), the Channel has provided his family with a living for centuries. The Shots have been sailing these waters since around 1700 - just a few years after Charles II issued that fateful charter - and Job says all fishing disputes historically have been about politics and diplomacy. Relations with English crews themselves, in the same sea area where Victor Depaepe got himself arrested, are good, he says. \"From what I see this is a purely political issue. In the area where we fish we never have a problem with these guys.\" For Job, a stable deal which goes beyond Brexit and includes the Belgian fleet is the only outcome which guarantees a future for him and his family. Belgium's short coastline means its territorial waters are not big enough to support its fleet, and he makes the point that the Channel is French as well as English. He says if a long-term deal can't be found, it would be the end of his company. \"When it's forbidden to fish inside the 12 miles or so of English waters it's over for me - 80% of my catch comes from English waters. Of course I'm concerned for the future - I have four grandsons and they tell me they want to be fishermen. What am I going to say to them, 'There is no future for you because English waters are closed for us?'\" This began as a story about fishing rights and Brexit - and by a strange historical quirk the powers of the Stuart monarchy after the restoration. But at its heart is a story of relationships, which are so deep and so ancient that you find yourself wondering if Brexit itself won't one day seem like just one more point of detail in a very long story. It's not just about the medieval wool trade that thrived between Flanders and East Anglia either. Two of the most celebrated regiments of the British Army were founded in Bruges to protect Charles II when he lived there - the aristocratic cavalry of the Life Guard and the Grenadier Guards. Flemish bricklayers helped build London, and British artists and architects helped restore the ancient glories of Bruges during the great artistic revival of the 19th Century. No-one can put that relationship in context like Brigitte Beernaert, an architectural historian who works for Bruges City Council and is such an Anglophile that she's the only non-British person I've ever heard referring to Europe as \"the Continent\". She says simply: \"The English and Bruges is a love story. Brexit was a complete surprise to us, but England is England - something special.\" Brigitte traces the relationship back to a woman called Emma of Normandy who, back in the 11th Century, was wife to two kings of England (Aethelred the Unready and Cnut) and mother to a third (Edward the Confessor). Emma made her home in Bruges for years, and in the 1000 years which have followed, so have many others. Bruges became one of the first places that modern British tourists began to visit, and that tradition has persisted through endless changes of historical circumstance. Brigitte says that flow of tourists was important to the citizens of Bruges too: \"English tourists and the English have been part of our daily life since I was a little girl,\" she told me. \"Every year we had the visit of parties of English schoolboys and that was a very familiar and traditional sight.\" The British path to Bruges was set long ago. In the 19th Century, a tradition developed of visiting the battlefield of Waterloo near Brussels. Bruges was a convenient stopping off point on the way, after you'd caught your steamer to Ostende and before you continued your pilgrimage to the site where the British and their Prussian and Dutch allies had finally seen off the threat of Napoleon. \"I cannot imagine that British people will stop coming to Bruges,\" says Brigitte. \"It cannot be that Britain is going to drift away from us. They need us like we need them.\" And the history really does matter. Victor Depaepe after all first heard about Charles II's charter when he was leafing through a copy of the Illustrated London News - a magazine which offered a serious and classy chronicle of important historical subjects and world events. When we left Victor earlier in this piece he was up before magistrates in Lewis facing rather serious charges of illegal fishing. And here's the remarkable thing. After the trial had started, a message reached the court from government lawyers that the case should be quietly dropped pending further legal reflection. 'He was a hero' The British government had no desire to test in public the validity of the Bruges Charter and the legal power of personal decrees made by Kings and Queens in open court. To Victor and to the fishing crews of Bruges that was a tacit admission that the fishing privileges granted by a grateful Crown around the time that Sir Christopher Wren was designing St Paul's Cathedral remained valid around the time the Beatles were beginning to top the charts. And no-one in the UK, it seems, cared to contradict him. Victor's son Paul says the fishermen of Bruges recognised his achievement: \"He was a hero,\" he told us simply. This year of course the charter has been just one ingredient in a more complicated diplomatic cocktail of Brexit and fisheries negotiations, free trade deals and withdrawal agreements. But the fact that it's played a part at all is testament to the deep ties between Britain, Bruges and Belgium, and above all to Victor Depaepe - an Anglophile and an adventurer with a sense of humour and a sense of history.",

Their lands hold an extraordinary wealth of rare species: 94% of the UK's endemic species - found nowhere else in the world - are in outposts of the former empire. Among the endangered creatures are a giant frog called the Montserrat mountain chicken; the Spiky yellow woodlouse, existing only land the size of a tennis court on St Helena; and the Grand Cayman blue iguana. Representatives of 14 of the territories - ranging from Bermuda to Pitcairn and Gibraltar - joined the meeting of the UK Overseas Territories Conservation Forum on the Channel island of Alderney. The islands are highly vulnerable to climate change, but ministers complained that the government had almost halved Foreign Office spending on the climate. They also said cuts had eroded the capacity of the experts in the Joint Nature Conservation Committee (JNCC), who used to offer conservation advice. The delegates in Alderney said other decisions on funding were going against them and that civil servants who had previously provided support are distracted by Brexit. Who's in charge? Confusion reigns over responsibility for supporting the islands, the ministers said. The Foreign Office has the policy lead but it delegates biodiversity issues to the environment department, Defra. The lead for the Crown Dependencies of the Isle of Man, Jersey and Guernsey (which includes Alderney) is with yet another department: the Ministry of Justice. Claude Hogan from Montserrat said: \"There is confusion in policy. We don't know the best person to approach and we end up going round in circles between different ministries. \"To protect the island and adapt to climate change we need to put in sea defences - but we only get enough money to go from one consultancy to the next.\" The territories had previously received support for environment-focused programmes from the aid department DFID. But they said that ministers have now switched interest towards traditional job creation - even though the islanders said their economic future depends on a healthy environment. Brexit is a major concern, as many of the territories have received substantial funding from the EU. The minister from from Pitcairn, Michelle Christian, said: \"We can apply for EU funding for environmental issues such as soil erosion, waste management and water, so we are concerned about the future.\" Gibraltar's minister John Cortes, a professional ecologist, said he was nervous at the possibility of Spanish encroachment on protected marine zones after the UK has left the EU. A Foreign Office spokeswoman said the government was already working to improve cross-departmental policies on the territories. She pointed to the internationally-acclaimed programme of marine protection around some key territories. The zone around Pitcain, for instance, will protect an area of ocean three and a half times the size of Britain. The spokeswoman added: \"Climate change and energy work is a network-wide priority. The Foreign Office works closely in partnership with departments across Whitehall on the international climate change agenda.\" 'Critical environmental issues' The government's delegate had been forced to withdraw from the meeting in Alderney because of the election. The meeting's organisers said the government had declined to foot the bill for the meeting, which was funded by Alderney in conjunction with voluntary groups. They applauded the government's marine programme, but said many of the most critical environmental issues were on land. Their best hope is that when Brexit is settled, the UK will devote more of its time and energy to them, rather than less. Follow Roger on Twitter.",

So a delivery of boxes and boxes of pizza arriving at the venue where the talks are taking place in central London suggest, at least, they believe there is stuff that's worth chewing over (sorry) and that needs to be concluded urgently. And while I have every sympathy if you read this and just feel you have seen it all before, there is more than just the takeaway that tells us it's nearly now or never. After months and months, and yes, months of talks, several sources have told me on Wednesday that the process is likely to be concluded in the next few days. One ambassador told me there was a hope the agreement could be finalised on Friday, with another diplomatic source confirming a deal at the end of this week is a possibility - suggesting the agreement is basically done, even though \"it could all still fall apart\". As my colleague, BBC Europe editor Katya Adler, wrote earlier, the EU chief negotiator updated the bloc's members in a video call today, and it's certainly the case there are nerves on that side about how much he might give away. It's certainly not the case though the negotiators have managed to find ingenious solutions to every single issue raised in these vast talks that will placate both sides 100%. But there are two very good reasons - aside from whispers from those involved - that a conclusion is now very near. Time ticking down There is a real fear that the deal, if it's done, can't be turned into law in time unless that process starts by the middle of next week. The deal will have to go through Parliament here, and in the EU, before the transition period ends in a few weeks' time. There's always been a mythical threat around this - and be wary of a politician claiming a deadline - but simply, given the number of days that Parliament is due to sit between now and the end of the year, it becomes pretty much impossible unless it gets going next week. It is also the case that if there isn't a deal, which still could come to pass, then ministers are worried about scrambling to get businesses prepared to cope with what might happen. They are concerned about that frankly in any case, because even with an agreement, a big change is on the way. But one cabinet minister confident that a deal will be done by early next week, told me Boris Johnson had become increasingly worried about reaping the political consequences of failing to reach a deal - he doesn't want queues of lorries in Kent to be blamed on him. There is another technical reason for speed now, as alongside that, the government plans to bring in a new Taxation Bill and continue its fight over the UK Internal Market Bill soon too. The first might make an appearance in the middle of next week, and happily the BBC's economics editor, Faisal Islam, has written about it here. And the UKIM -that caused such a stink over ministers' admissions that it could lead them to breach international law - is likely to be back in the Commons the week after next. Those draft laws could provoke such a storm in the EU - essentially undermining the deal the UK did with Brussels last year - that they could torpedo the talks at the last moment. Two well-placed EU sources were clear in conversation today that if the government pressed ahead with the controversial clauses in those bits of legislation before a deal had been done, it would kill the chances stone dead. But, despite nudges and winks around the place that the process is nearly there, despite the solid reasons that point to a finale in the next few days, there is still a question about whether the two sides have ever come to understand each other. One minister involved in one of the tricky aspects of the talks is absolutely adamant the EU was still being downright unreasonable. One member state source told me that it feels like \"doing a pre-nup agreement\", adding: \"We want a long and stable marriage, but Boris Johnson is trying to get enough freedom to cheat.\" It seems like the two sides are just about ready to commit. But the mantra we have learned in this last four years is as instructive as it was at the start - \"nothing is agreed until everything is agreed\" - and more pizza nights might still be required. What will Labour do? P.S. If a deal is done, then as I mentioned, it will have to then pass through Parliament, which will throw up its own intrigue. There is likely, of course, to be some belly aching among the true believers in the Brexit camp. There have been fears about Boris Johnson conceding too much, so don't expect there to be no pushback. But given this time last year Tory MPs were elected on their promise to \"Get Brexit Done\", it seems unlikely - unless the deal is a true shocker from their point of view - that the prime minister will have significant trouble from his own side. What will also be interesting to watch, however, is how Labour responds. Most of the party's MPs thought the idea of leaving the EU was crackers, and their leader, Sir Keir Starmer, was one of the strongest voices pushing for another referendum. But, given the choice in Parliament before them will hypothetically be between a deal or not having an agreement at all, it seems most likely they will choose to back an agreement and move on. However, there is likely to be tension over the decision, with some senior voices perhaps pushing to abstain. P.P.S. It's worth saying that theoretically there might not have to be a vote on the treaty. But the government has already made it clear that there will be legislation that will need at least one vote, and in fact likely a whole series of votes. It is not clear exactly what kind of votes there will be, and as it's Parliament and Brexit, there's probably likely to be a row about exactly how it unfolds. But from a political point of view, both Labour and the Tories are already discussing whether to back 'the deal', even though the process once it hits the Commons may be more complex than that.",

            "input": "Karishma VaswaniAsia business correspondent@BBCKarishmaon Twitter From an economic standpoint, it's hard to understand what Filipinos have seen in Mr Duterte's plans for the country. For one thing, he doesn't appear to have any - and if he does, he certainly didn't talk about them in his election rallies. But to be fair to him, neither did any of the other candidates, or not very much at least. The Philippines is one of the \"rising tigers\" of South East Asia, clocking an average of 6% growth over the last few years under President Aquino's administration. Foreign direct investment has quadrupled, tax collection has improved and at least 4 million new jobs have been created - admittedly far too few in a country of 102 million people. Fed up But people I spoke to on the streets and in the markets told me they weren't feeling the benefits of that growth, and that they were fed up with the status quo. Just imagine for a moment if you can, what it must feel like to sit in the back of a dilapidated and creaking train for two hours to get to your office, and then to be paid just enough so your family doesn't go hungry, only to fight your way back on to that train at the end of your day and sit for another two hours to get home. Imagine, if you can, what a life spent overseas saving up money for your family back home must feel like when you return, only to find that your marriage has broken down and your kids don't recognise you? Or to run into a cop at a street corner, and know that the only way out of a lengthy ordeal at the police station is to pay a quick bribe so that you won't be late for work? And then imagine the anger, the frustration and the resentment you might feel if you looked at the sprawling malls and tinted air-conditioned cars and saw that there was a very clear economic divide in this democratic country - the haves, and the have-nots, the folks who can get out of paying bribes because of their connections, and those who have no choice. Imagine all of that, and then you'll understand why Mr Duterte is the front-runner in this race. Stagnant poverty levels The statistics are stark, and bleak. Experts say anywhere between 40% and 80% of Philippine legislators are connected to political dynasties with vested interests. A handful of the families control almost all of the country's wealth. And perhaps the bleakest, starkest statistic of all: 25% of the population lives under the poverty line - a figure that hasn't changed much in two decades. So it shouldn't come as a surprise then that Filipinos have chosen Mr Duterte's crime-busting, tough-talking, action-oriented ways over the current administration's candidate Manuel Roxas. Some human rights activists have sounded a note of caution about Mr Duterte's controversial style - comparing him to the Philippine's previous authoritarian leader Ferdinand Marcos. But for many young Filipinos, Mr Duterte is appealing precisely because they don't remember what it was like to grow up during the authoritarian regime of Ferdinand Marcos - they're nostalgic for a past they never lived through. Unpredictable wild-card? But here's the rub: the past always looks better than the present. For one thing, dead men can't speak. The Marcos regime resulted in massive debt and high levels of unemployment, and was characterised by \"it's a who-you-know\" style of economic governance. The economy was run by handful of friends and families - and if you weren't in the know, you didn't get the \"mates rates\". There's no indication that Mr Duterte will be anything like the Marcoses. If anything, he says he will crack down on corruption - those promises have endeared him to voters. But foreign investors fear that he's a wild-card, and no-one knows what he plans to do with the economy. He has a tough task on his hands if he is to convince them and show his fellow Filipinos that he is truly the right man for the job. The Philippines has made impressive gains in the last few years and is no longer seen as the sick man of Asia. Mr Duterte must ensure that he pushes forward with economic reforms - or else the past could very much turn into the present.",

The car could not be saved and was submerged by the tide. \"They'd left their car on the beach with a family member - a teenage daughter - and were apparently unaware that that tide comes in so far,\" added Mr Furber. Mike Newman from BARB Search and Rescue said that this weekend, the tide was particularly high at 11.8m and rose to the very top of the beach. He could not estimate the speed of tide but said its speed can catch people out. The Severn Estuary also has the second largest tidal range in the world. His advice was to check tide times with the local beach wardens to avoid getting caught out. A spokesman for the Coastguard added: \"While we ensured that the person with the car was safe and well and in the care of the police unit on scene, Weston Lifeboats were setting about plucking the rest of the stranded family and their dog from the rocks.

            "input": "Arkadiusz Kacmarek stabbed father-of-one Slawomir Kulesza, 47, repeatedly in the head and heart with a kitchen knife. The 22-year-old denied the murder and claimed he was so drunk he had no memory of the violence at the house in Ellesemere Port, Cheshire. Kacmarek was found guilty and handed a minimum sentence of 19 years. He was also convicted of possession of a knife in a public place after the nine-day trial at Chester Crown Court. Police said they may \"never know\" what led to the stabbing, which happened after Kacmarek had drunk to excess. The killer first met Mr Kulesza when he moved into a two-storey mid terrace house in the town's Blakemere Court in February. On the evening of 1 May, the pair were seen buying a bottle of vodka together at a local shop. A neighbour later reported hearing loud noises coming from the property and at about 01:05 BST Kacmarek was captured on CCTV walking along Westminster Road carrying a kitchen knife, which was later found discarded in an alley way. He was then spotted by police walking on Westminster Bridge and stopped when they saw blood on his clothes. The officers took him home and discovered Mr Kulesza critically injured in the kitchen, and Kacmarek was arrested. A post-mortem later revealed Mr Kulesza died of stab wounds. DNA analysis proved blood on Kacmarek's clothes and on the kitchen knife belonged to Mr Kulesza and traces of Kacmarek's DNA were also found on the knife. After the sentencing Keith Drummond, of the Crown Prosecution Service, said Kacmarek's apparent memory loss was no excuse. \"It is not a defence to say 'I was drunk and if I had been sober I would not have done what I did',\" he said. \"The Crown Prosecution Service accepted that he was drunk but said that the multiple stab wounds he inflicted on Mr Kulesza proved that he intended to kill his victim or cause him really serious harm.\" Det Insp Kate Tomlinson, of Cheshire Constabulary, said Kacmarek had subjected Mr Kulesza to \"a horrific degree of violence\", leading to severe injuries to his brain and heart. \"It was a vicious and sustained assault and Kacmarek then left Slawomir dead or dying on their kitchen floor as he went out to dispose of the knife,\" she said. \"Our thoughts are with the victim's family.\" Why not follow BBC North West on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram?
